Dr. Betty Murray joins me today to share lots of new information! We discuss how changes in estrogen- both too much during perimenopause and not enough after menopause, lead to metabolic changes in the cells that slow your metabolism. We get into how the genetics that control estrogen detoxification may lead to weight gain and risk for diabetes, obesity, and cancer, how menopause interferes with the key cellular fat switch, and the foods that turn that fat switch on. Betty also shares her three diet rules that may need to be broken to lose weight and keep it off for life. Three diet rules for losing weight:

Avoid fake sweeteners

Stay hydrated

Avoid purine-rich foods and flavor enhancements

A low-alcohol, Keto-friendly wine that doesn’t leave you feeling worse for the wear sounds like something from your dreams. I’m joined by Todd White of Dry Farm Wines to talk about Natural Wine production and why it’s the best wine for you to drink. About Todd White Todd White is a serial entrepreneur and creator since the age of 17. Today, after 15 years in the wine business, he dedicates his life to educating and helping people make better choices about food, nutrition, and how they think about consuming alcohol. As the founder of Dry Farm Wines, a writer, speaker, and a leader in the organic/Natural Wine movement, he has widely educated communities on conscious consumption. Todd is deeply passionate about bringing people together to share love and laughter through Natural Wine and the health benefits it provides. Todd is a self-described biohacker who practices daily meditation, Wim Hof breathing, cold thermogenesis, a ketogenic diet, and daily 22-hour intermittent fasting. He is also a frequent speaker on topics including ketogenic lifestyle, meditation, and the Dry Farm Wines unique company culture. His entire team gathers each morning for a meditation and gratitude practice. Key Takeaways

Just because a wine is labeled organic doesn’t mean it’s natural.

Women in menopause tend to have more headaches and other hangover symptoms when they drink red wine because of the additives in it.

The sugar content in Natural Wine is extremely low, so it’s not going to spike your blood sugar like other wines.

In This Episode

What the natural wine movement is

How the wine industry mimics the processed food and factory farming industries

What you need to know about the additives, both natural and chemical, used in wine production

The role of irrigation in winemaking

Where red wine gets its deep red color

Why middle-aged women have a more difficult time drinking red wine

Dr. Tracy Gapin is a board-certified urologist, world-renowned men’s health and performance expert, professional speaker and author. He has over 20 experience providing Fortune 500 executives, entrepreneurs, and athletes a personalized health plan. Dr. Gapin combines his compassion and extensive experience with men’s health care and cutting-edge technology to offer patients individualized, state-of-the-art care. Low testosterone affects every aspect of men’s health. It leads to drops in energy, mental acuity, bone density, and nutritional health. With this hormone being such a key piece of the puzzle, Dr. Gapin made it his mission to address the root causes of its decline. Dr. Gapin has seen how environmental impacts disrupt hormone production. Endocrine disruptors are everywhere these days. Plastics, personal care products, and more contain phthalates that disrupt proper hormone production. Since everyone’s genetic blueprint is unique, we all respond to our environment differently. Using data and the latest technology, Dr. Gapin helps his patients make informed decisions to address the root cause, not just symptoms. Sleep and epigenetics, being a central part of hormonal health, Dr. Gapin makes these a focus of his practice. What can you do to avoid phthalates in your environments and get better sleep? Let’s chat about it in the comments on the episode page! My Your Longevity Blueprint course is currently 50% off to celebrate the launch of the podcast PLUS I'm throwing in a free personalized consultation! In this episode

Ken Swartz, aka “Ken the Scientist," joins me today to talk about oxidative stress, mitochondrial efficiency, and Carbon 60, also known as C60. Ways in which oxidative stress can damage the body:

Rips holes in cell membranes

Prevents proteins from folding properly

Damages cellular blueprints (DNA and RNA)

Ken Swartz Bio: Ken Swartz, aka “Ken the Scientist,” is the founder and Chief Science Officer of C60 Purple Power, a health and wellness company committed to delivering the highest quality Carbon 60 products available. Ken earned a Master of Science degree from the University of Colorado at Denver and a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Arizona State University. He spent the early part of his career as a secondary school teacher, and he continues to be passionate about helping and educating people. Ken has run several research science laboratories over the course of his career and discovered C60 while developing the MOXY fusion reactor. During his research, he became aware of the powerful free radical neutralizing properties of C60. He first began using C60 as a radiation protectant while leading a fusion research project. He noticed, after taking C60 for a couple of months, that not only was it protecting him from radiation, but he discovered that his health was also improving. So, he continued taking it. About eight months after Ken started taking C60, he was at a routine visit with his optometrist and discovered that his dry Macular Degeneration was gone. His doctor was dumbfounded and told him that in all his years, he had never seen such an improvement. Due to this healing experience, Ken decided to dedicate himself to the research, study, and production of C60 Buckminster Fullerenes. In 2016, Ken founded C60 Purple Power which offers 99.99% pure sublimated Carbon 60, (never exposed to solvents), delivered in 100% certified organic oils, made in the USA. Ken believes that “your health is your responsibility” and he is on a mission to help people feel empowered to take control of their health. However, disclaimer here, these statements and products have not been approved by the Food & Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Mold-related illness- specifically colonization, can involve complex treatment. Dr. Lauren Tessier, a naturopathic physician who treats often-overlooked forms of mold-illness, joins me to discuss mold in women, mold in pediatrics, and mold in autoimmunity.

The four (overlapping) types of mold illness:

Common allergy, including dry eyes, runny eyes, runny nose, coughing, sneezing, and even asthma
Fungal infection, colonization, and biofilm.
Mycotoxicosis (The toxic impact of mold)
Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS)

Guest Bio:

Dr. Lauren Tessier is a practicing Naturopathic Physician. Her practice Life After Mold, located in Waterbury, Vermont, services local and international clients suffering from mold-related illnesses complicated by comorbid conditions such as multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and chronic infections- including Lyme & co-infections, EBV, CMV, etc.

Dr. Tessier, previously CIRS certified in 2016, treats not only biotoxin illness but also other overlooked forms of mold illness, including allergy, infection/colonization, and mycotoxicosis.

Dr. Tessier serves clients via in-office medical care or through educational wellness consults; she also provides one-on-one private training for practitioners looking to improve upon their mold-literate clinical skills.

Dr. Tessier is the President of ISEAI, or the International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness, and has been in service to the nonprofit since 2017, in the roles of Secretary, Vice President, and general board member. ISEAI is dedicated to helping practitioners learn how to diagnose and treat Environmentally Acquired Illness in their client population.

The free e-booklet “Mold Prevention: 101”, authored by Dr. Tessier is available on her website, and has been circulated worldwide.

In this episode:

The four overlapping types of mold-related illnesses that get caused by mold and mycotoxins. (7:28)
How cancer relates to mold illness. (9:33)
Why mold-related illnesses are not more widely accepted. (10:05)
The most common symptoms of mold illness. (12:33)
How mold illness affects kids. (13:47)
How mold illness impacts women’s health. (14:59)
Other symptoms of mold illness. (17:55)
What mass cell activation syndrome (MCAS) is. (21:48)
What multiple chemical sensitivity is. (25:16)
The importance of controlling your exposure to different variables. (32:28)
Foods that could contain mold toxins. (37:28)
How mold illness (40:41) and colonization (43:24) can be treated.

“Close your eyes and think of the Olympic rings and how they overlap. Picture four rings overlapping- almost like a four-petal flower. In each one of those petals, I put a type of mold illness.”

“I think of mass cell activation syndrome as the moat around the disease castle.”

“When the white cells are in a state where they are just on high alert, they will react to even the smallest stuff.”

“Your body can only handle so many toxins until it starts to not know how to process them. When it does not know how to process them, it kicks them from the liver back into the bloodstream. So you’re almost getting this internal re-exposure that happens.”

“It is so important to control the different variables of exposure. Your main variables of exposure are your environment and your food. ”

“What comes from the ground has to dry out and get stored away somewhere before I eat it, like grains, legumes, beans, coffee, and nuts. Anything that starts a little damp and then gets stored somewhere dry, that’s where a lot of the issues come in.”

Why you need to ask if your exercise program was built on research on women like you. (4:50)
How hormone balance fitness differs from conventional training. (7:37)
A blueprint for the type of exercises perimenopausal women should participate in. (9:22)
What you will gain from doing a total-body workout twice a week. (10:17)
Why exercising different parts of the body every day does not add up to the same as a total-body workout twice a week. (11:01)
Why you should only do two total-body strength training sessions per week. (11:56)
How to get started with high-intensity interval training sessions. (13:02)
Why it’s better to do strength and high-intensity training on alternate days. (14:00)

Tips for building bone and muscle. (29:52)
Some exercise advice for busy women. (36:58)

Quotes:

“Most of the research is on young athletic males who are in the prime of their peak of muscle mass. So they are really in fat-burning. And women in mid-life are much more easily storing fat.”

“We get eight times the metabolism boost from doing a total body workout as we do if we say I’m only going to work my chest and my arms today.”

“The point of exercise is to get better at life. We’re supposed to feel good having done it. We’re supposed to have more energy having done it. We’re not supposed to be exhausted and sore and tired.”

“We need to increase our lean muscle tissue by reaching muscular fatigue, and we need to get breathless.”

“We need pulling exercises much more than we need pushing.”

“Often, women are hearing “go walk, you need weight-bearing exercise”. But actually, you need weight-resistance exercise.”

“We need to be putting the breaks on the losses and/or trying to rebuild bone density.”

Dr. Robert Whitfield is a plastic surgeon specializing in breast explant surgery. He joins me today to talk about why one might need to explant and if so, how to prepare for the best outcome. He also discusses the testing he has performed on explants and his findings.

Symptoms that could indicate breast implant illness

Fatigue or brain fog
Cognitive decline
Hair loss
Anxiety and/or depression
Joint or muscle pain
Menstrual cycle problems
Recurrent BV (Bacterial Vaginosis)

Guest Bio:

Dr. Robert Whitfield is an experienced, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. He completed six years of surgical training at Indiana University Medical Center. He remained at the Indiana University Medical Center to complete his Plastic Surgery Residency and at the completion, he chose to gain additional training in Microsurgery and Aesthetic Surgery by completing a one-year Fellowship in Las Vegas, Nevada under Dr. William Zamboni.

He is an Active Member American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery, American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and the American Medical Association.

Dr. Whitfield focuses on providing clients with nutritional guidance, nutraceutical advice, personal genetic predisposition screening, and non-invasive, minimally invasive, and surgical options for treatments all over the body.

He has completed over 4000 breast procedures since 2004 including over 500 implant removals.

He has the largest series of explant specimens with PCR testing. While serving as the President-Elect of the Research Foundation he gave testimony at the FDA hearings in 2019 regarding BII. Dr. Whitfield’s Philosophy Statement Choosing to have surgery is a major life choice. Dr. Whitfield has personally been involved in helping make decisions about surgery since 1992 when his sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. Each patient has to know the risks and benefits so they can make an informed decision. With the proper plan and meticulous attention to detail, each patient has the best opportunity for a successful outcome in his hands. Patient safety is incredibly important to him and at the forefront of each surgical decision. After spending so many years training and practicing he only tries to provide the safest and most appropriate surgical care.

How patients can be helped through the change after having their implants removed. (49:41)

Dr. Robert Whitfield’s quotes:

“I am very critical of both my patients’ diets and their hormone status.”

“The DNA company has a special program using AI to look for what’s called indels. Unlike SNPs, which are spelling errors, this looks for an entire paragraph of the missing code.”

“Everybody’s probably familiar with an easter egg that has the candy in it. So, you don’t want to crack the shell of the easter egg when you’re taking out the implant because maybe the candy in the middle is bad for you. Or it’s leaking silicone gel.”

“I’m a micromanager of everything that goes in the body before and after surgery because that’s the way I get the best recoveries.”

Endometriosis is a very serious and painful illness impacting women’s lives, but it’s still underdiagnosed and largely under-researched by doctors. Misty Williams joins me to talk about her own health journey with endometriosis, what she’s learned navigating this illness, and how she became a persistent advocate for her own health. Misty also helps other women become persistent advocates for themselves!

Symptoms of Endometriosis

Prolonged, Heavy Periods
Extremely Painful Cramps
Weight Gain
Fatigue
Brain Fog
Epstein-Barr Virus
Sleep Issues

About Misty Williams

Misty Williams spent years struggling to reclaim her health and vitality after a brain fog and fatigue tailspin from life-threatening complications from surgery to remove an ovarian cyst.

Afterward, her doctor told her she had endometriosis. The only remedies were drugs and surgery, her labs were “normal,” and she could “google” to learn more about what was happening to her body.

At 35 years old, Misty started fighting for her quality of life, enduring many more challenges on her road to healing, including an unexplained 45-lb weight gain, debilitating brain fog, fatigue, hypothyroidism, and premature ovarian failure.

She founded HealingRosie.com to provide high-performing women with the resources and community to successfully confront the unexpected chronic health issues that women often experienced as they age.

There’s no point in avoiding it: kids’ meals these days are not healthy! They’re full of ultra-processed ingredients that are not nutritionally balanced to give our kids what they need to grow healthy and strong. Katie Kimball joins me to talk about how to get your kids to eat healthier, even when they’re picky, and the importance of getting them into the kitchen to start cooking for themselves.

Get Kids in the Kitchen by

Developing skills over recipes
Not bringing them in to help right before mealtime until they have the skills
Encouraging their contribution to the meal

He now has the privilege of interacting and consulting with thousands of functionally-minded practitioners.

Feeling exhausted, having difficulty breathing, experiencing brain fog, and having trouble sleeping are just some of the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia. But did you know they’re also symptoms of Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome? I’m joined by Dr. Aaron Hartman, the leading expert in CIRS and Long COVID-19, to talk about these lung diseases, how we can diagnose them, and finally health from them so we can live fuller, happier, healthier lives again.

Steps to Treating Someone with CIRS

Make a diagnosis
Use a binder to get the toxins out of the system
Nutritional analysis
Increase fiber in the diet

About Dr. Aaron Hartman

Dr. Aaron Hartman's journey with functional medicine started when he and his wife adopted their first daughter from foster care. She has cerebral palsy and countless dietary issues. They went from specialist to specialist and, even as a physician, he felt let down and confused. His daughter's health struggles forced him to confront an uncomfortable realization: Our current healthcare system doesn't have all the answers. His wife, however, refused to give up hope.

She ultimately pointed him to functional medicine. His daughter and other two kids began to thrive. After years in family practice, he felt called to make a dramatic shift.

Dr. Hartman currently holds the following positions: Principal Investigator and Medical Director of Virginia Research Center, President Family Practice Associates, Assistant Clinical Professor of Family Medicine at the VCU School of Medicine, and founder of Richmond Functional Medicine.

His fields of clinical expertise include CIRS, Post Lyme Syndrome, CFS/ME, and Long COVID.

Dr. Hartman now helps patients identify leverage points in key areas of their lifestyle and health that harness their body's remarkable power to heal and begin living the vibrant life they deserve.

Quotes

“It’s not only about living longer, but the quality of life is more important than the length of your life. The whole picture starts to come together.” [6:09]

“When you love people, love them, even if they’ve hurt your feelings. Try to pour love on that person because if you can’t find love for yourself, by giving love to someone else, it will come back to you. It opens your heart to give love.” [11:18]

“One of the biggest issues we have with health is the choices we make, particularly around food. When I get a good night’s sleep, I make better food choices. It’s just a fact. The simplest, most base-level around health is what we choose to put in our mouth. If I make better choices when I make sleep, then sleep is the first marker for me.” [13:55]

Betrayal is a form of trauma. Like any trauma, it impacts our health. But there are elements of betrayal that make it unique. I’m joined by Dr. Debi Silber to talk about what she learned about Post-Betrayal Syndrome from her own experiences and research.

The five stages from betrayal to breakthrough are:

Neglected emotions/intuition
Shock
The emergence of survival instincts
Adjusting to a new normal
Healing, rebirth, and a new worldview

About Dr. Debi Silber

Dr. Debi Silber is the founder of the Post Betrayal Transformation Institute. She is a holistic psychologist, health, mindset, and personal development expert, the author of the #1 bestselling book: The Unshakable Woman: 4 Steps to Rebuilding Your Body, Mind, and Life After a Life Crisis, and her newest book: Trust Again: Overcoming Betrayal and Regaining Health, Confidence, and Happiness.

Her recent Ph.D. study on how we experience betrayal made three groundbreaking discoveries that change how long it takes to heal.

In addition to being on FOX, CBS, The Dr. Oz Show, TEDx (twice), and more, she’s an award-winning speaker, coach, and author dedicated to helping people move past their betrayals as well as any other blocks preventing them from the health, work, relationships, confidence and happiness they want most.

Childhood trauma is often stored in our bodies, starting in the first year of our lives. It doesn’t even have to be a hugely traumatic experience - it could even come from a child’s mother. Dr. Aimie Apigian joins us to talk about how childhood trauma affects our long-term health conditions and how we can accelerate the healing process to reclaim our health.

Biochemical Imbalances Caused by Genetics or Epigenetics

Methylation Imbalance
Copper & Zinc
Pyrrole Disorder

About Dr. Aimie Apigian

Dr. Aimie is a Board-Certified Physician in Preventive Medicine and Addiction Medicine who specializes in recognizing and addressing the chronic effects of trauma on one’s biology.

After helping her foster-adopted son as he struggled with severe emotional and behavioral issues, she started to see how much of trauma is biology, not psychology.

She earned her medical degree from Loma Linda University, has a Masters in Biochemistry, and a Masters in Public Health.

2 years into her general surgery residency, she went from running marathons and being an avid cyclist to severe fatigue, autoimmune issues, was overweight and depressed.

Through her personal experiences, she has found we all live compromised due to stored trauma in our bodies.

Talk therapy is not the answer. Dr. Amie’s mission is to share with others the ways to accelerate the healing journey to consistent high states of health, aliveness, and performance through leveraging our own very survival, and reward pathways.

Castor oil is an herbal medical treatment that’s been around for centuries but fell out of fashion sometime in the last few decades. I’m joined by Dr. Marisol Teijeiro, the Queen of the Thrones, to talk about why castor oil is making a comeback, all the incredible health benefits, and why she recommends it to all her patients.

The three areas castor oil packs help the most with:

Stools - helps regulate your bowel movements
Sleep - helps you get more restorative sleep
Stress - helps reduce your regular stress levels

About Dr. Marisol Teijeiro

Dr. Marisol Teijeiro, ND & Queen of the Thrones™️, empowers people to own their throne (yes potty time), purpose, and passion in life. She is the creator of the easy and mess-less Castor Oil Pack used to heal the gut, improve digestion, sleep, and most importantly, your hormone balance.

She teaches all over the world and features on various TV programs including national syndicated NBC Bloom, as well as The Marilyn Denis Show in Canada. She is a published author of “OH SH*T!” the 3 stress-less steps to connect, clear, and calm your digestion.

Why Use Castor Oil?

Dr. Marisol Teijeiro shares the story of how she started using castor oil packs, after years of avoiding them, to heal so many of her chronic health problems. She explains why she revamped the traditional castor oil pack to make it cleaner and easier to use.

Marisol talks about how and why castor oil works as it does and what benefits it has for the body - there are so many! Castor oil has actually been a medical treatment for hundreds, maybe thousands, of years but it did fall out of use.

It’s a powerful tool to improve your gut health and help with detox. You can also combine it with essential oils and use it in the sauna to really double down on the health benefits. Marisol praises castor oil for helping with your stools, sleep, and stress which all of us struggle with at times in our life.

How to Safely Use Castor Oil

It’s actually really easy to start reaping the benefits of castor oil. Marisol says that there’s no prep needed, you simply start using the castor oil packs. There are a few ground rules to keep in mind, such as using your pack for a minimum of one hour per day and changing your pack regularly, but otherwise, you should be good to dive right in.

Marisol explains why pregnant women shouldn’t use castor oil in any form. It’s very important to heed this warning!

When it comes to buying castor oil, Marisol says to make sure you’re buying an organic oil. But more important than that, make sure it doesn’t come in a plastic bottle.

Finally, Marisol explains the added benefit of castor oil as a hair treatment!

Have you used a regular castor oil treatment before? How did you find it helped with your overall health? Did you use it in combination with any other detox methods? Let me know in the comments on the episode page.

Call the Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic today and schedule your first appointment at 319-363-0033.

Quotes

“I made it my mission to get these castor oil packs to everyone and educate on how to improve the three most important factors that mess up on every woman: Your sleep, your stools, and your stress. When you work on those, so many of your conditions can literally go away.” [9:38]

“The gut is the hub of the hormonal system, the nervous system, and the immune system and we must pay attention to it. If our hormones are off, it’s because our gut is off. If our immune system is off, it’s because our gut is off. And if our nervous system is off, we’re anxious or depressed, it’s because our gut is off.” [26:57]

“I wish I would have started castor oil packs twenty years ago! I’ve been doing them for ten years now, but it took me ten years to warm up to them. I hope the listeners out there don’t take ten years to warm up to it. Take action and move in the right direction, you have the power and the ability to change those three annoyances in your life: stools, sleep, and stress.” [34:09]

“Look at those three most important aspects: your sleep, your stress, and your stools. When you’re commanding those and owning them, you’re truly being the queen on the throne. You understand what your stool is telling you, what your sleep is telling you, and what your stress levels are telling you, that’s just a complete game-changer for your life. It does more wonders than any supplement or tool can do.” [52:38]

She has been featured on ABC, FOX5, KTLA, CW, and in Medium and Entrepreneur. She's also the host of the Everyday Wellness podcast, which was listed as "20 Podcasts That Will Help You Grow in 2020" by Entrepreneur magazine.

Cynthia was skeptical of intermittent fasting at first. But the more she learned about this healthy eating pattern, the more she realized its power to optimize your health. Modern lifestyles have drastically changed the way we eat. However, for the great majority of human history, intermittent fasting was how we got nutrition. Returning to this process is a return to fueling our bodies the way they were meant to be.

Properly combining intermittent fasting with exercise is a powerful and safe weight-loss strategy. Cynthia explains how exercising on an empty stomach not only leads to weight loss but more energy and mental clarity as well. It also promotes autophagy, the body’s process of cleaning out damaged cells. This leads to healthier cellular health and many other benefits.

Overall, the strategy of intermittent fasting is about taking control. It’s going to look different for everyone. While this may seem like a big change, it can still fit your schedule, diet, and lifestyle.

Quotes

“We all need to be responsible. We need to take care of ourselves, because I believe that living well is the best medicine.” [2:52] - Dr. Deb Matthew

“Where are your hormones today? Where are those hormones in relation to your age? Get your hormones optimized early, keep your hormones optimized, and then exercise, eat right, and decrease your toxins. If you do all of those things, which is not hard, you’ll live a much longer life. But moreover, you’ll live a much happier life.” [8:50] - Dr. Gary Donovitz

“Everything that you’re doing in your life is influencing those people that you love. Your staff, your family, your friends, your husbands, your spouses, your lovers. Everybody is being influenced by what you do. If you have some high integrity, take care of yourself, and put yourself first. They will, too. That’s the longevity key right there!” [18:17] - Dr. Tabatha Barber

Improving your parasympathetic tone is essential for a healthy body. It directly impacts your autonomic nervous system, responsible for most of your bodily functions.

About Dr. Tim Jackson

Dr. Tim Jackson received his undergraduate degree in Health science and chemistry from Wake Forest University in 2003. He completed his Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) from the Medical University of SC in 2009.

Dr. Tim has an education in nutritional biochemistry, digestive health and its systemic effects, functional endocrinology, epigenetics, mold and Lyme disease, and auto-immune/neuro-immune disorders.

He completed the Spine portion of the Active Release Technique methodology, a system that addresses musculoskeletal trigger points and helps to expedite the healing process.

He now has the privilege of interacting and consulting with thousands of functionally-minded practitioners.

Have you ever wondered what centenarians do differently? I’m delighted to invite my own 96-year-old Grandpa on the show to talk about how his lifestyle directly impacted his longevity.

The Keys to Longevity

Farm-Fresh Food and Home Cooked Meals
Relaxing and Rejuvenating
Resilience
Community
Drinking Plenty of Water
Faith

About Grandpa George Mellor

George Mellor is my very own Grandpa! He was a farmer who’s, so far, lived to be 96 years old. His farm was the first in his region to implement irrigation.

Food Differences in the Last 100 Years

Recording this episode with my Grandpa is by far one of my favorite moments with this podcast. George Mellor brings a wealth of insight and experience from his 96 years on this planet. Especially, but not limited to, what he believes contributes to his good health and longevity.

George shares with us how food production differs now from when he grew up. He explains how there wasn’t any access to fresh meat over the summers, so he and his family relied on no meat or, sometimes, canned meat.

Being a farmer was a demanding lifestyle, but George ensured he made time for rest and rejuvenation. Some of his favorite ways to replenish himself were fishing and hunting - getting deeply comfortable with nature.

Community and Faith Matters

One of the other biggest contributing factors George attributes his longevity to is community. Just like the importance of community in places like Italy, which has the largest population of centenarians, even at home in the United States, we need more emphasis on the people and society surrounding us.

Other aspects that George counts as major keys of his longevity: drinking plenty of water, staying resilient through everything, and having a strong faith.

Finally, George lets us in on his best breakfast secrets: bacon and eggs as often as possible, and heart-health, wallet-friendly oatmeal.

What are some of your favorite breakfast foods? How do you rely on your community? What’s your best memory with your grandpa? Let me know in the comments on the episode page.

In This Episode

What a farm-life diet looked like in the early 1900s [2:30]
Some of the best ways to relax and rejuvenate [10:45]
Why community is so important for your longevity [17:15]
Some of the best breakfasts foods for longevity and long-term health [21:15]
What the keys to longevity are [24:00]

You don’t have to completely give up your holiday baking - just make it more natural and healthy! I’m joined by Dr. Carol Lourie to talk about gluten and sugar substitutions you can make to keep your holiday baking traditions alive while honoring your hormones.

Tips for Gluten-Free Baking

Know what kind of flour you should use for the type of baking
Get a flour with Teff in it
Leave your eggs out the night before you plan to use them
Leave the butter out overnight
Check your baking time
You might have to change the liquid component

About Carol Lourie

Carol Lourie is a dedicated practitioner with over three decades of clinical experience as a Naturopath, Acupuncturist, and Homeopath. The environmental impact of our society has severely impacted women’s health and hormones, and more than ever, women are suffering from hormonal imbalances such as PMS, PCOS, thyroid disturbances, infertility, peri and menopausal difficulties, and even breast cancer.

Restoring hormonal balance involves taking charge of as many aspects of your environment — internal and external — as possible, and the emotional landscape must always be considered for there to be real healing.

After 30 years and thousands of patients, Carol has witnessed how “Healing is always possible.”

Episode 28: Holiday Party Tips + Hair Mineral Analysis Testing With Veronica Worley

Episode 25: Tips From The Ingredient Guru Mira Dessy

Breast Cancer Conqueror Dr. Veronique Desaulniers

View Details

Successfully making it through the holidays comes down to having a party plan and sticking to your nutrition goals. I’m joined by Veronica Worley who shares her best advice for enjoying the holidays. We also talk about the importance of proper nutrition, including why you should remove gluten, dairy, and sugar from your diet.

Tips to Avoid Gaining Weight over the Holidays

Eating a healthy diet. Lots of fruit and veg, lean meats, and limiting the carbohydrates
Get a mineral test to look for imbalances
Start your day with no carbs
Have a plan for how you’ll deal with parties
Eat before you go to a party and ask if you can bring a dish

About Veronica Worley

Veronica Worley helps men and women age gracefully and beautifully by getting to the root cause of belly fat, energy loss, hormone, and mineral imbalance. She specializes in mineral imbalance, which can be the root of weight gain, energy loss, and hormone imbalance.

Once tested, you learn the exact process needed to get the body back in balance and overcome disease and symptoms. She does this by using functional lab testing, food, and lifestyle changes so you can get well and stay well.

Like many holistic Health Practitioners, Veronica’s path to helping others feel better, began when she, herself, started having many health issues a few years ago. Doctors couldn’t figure out the causes of symptoms.

After discovering that a mineral imbalance was at the root of her fibroids, migraines, brain fog, hormone imbalance, depression, and energy loss, she chose natural methods and worked to overcome her issues. And she lost over 30 pounds in the process!

Putting her nutrition background to work (B.S and M.S.) she began a lifelong study of nutrition, holistic wellness, and functional medicine, and since has helped many people get well and lose weight using mineral balancing, nutrition, and lifestyle changes.

This roundup of Your Longevity Blueprint’s Guest’s Top Tips is here early to kickstart your healthy changes before the holidays. Many of the top tips include sleep, nutrition, relaxation, and regular movement!

The Biggest Top Tips for Functional Health and Longevity

Sleep is essential. Good quality sleep rebuilds your body.
Meditation and breathing help repair your parasympathetic nervous system and aid your mental and emotional health.
Move every single day.

Your Longevity Blueprint’s Top Tips from Guests

Thanksgiving is about looking back and sharing gratitude for your year with your loved ones. In honor of this Thanksgiving that might look a little bit different for you, I’m looking back on the past podcast episodes. I’ve compiled all of my guest’s top longevity tips. I hope you’ll take them on board!

Top Longevity Tip #1

Sleep is essential for our health! You need to prioritize your sleep to thrive in your life. Listen to the full episode with Cynthia Thurlow here.

Top Longevity Tip #2

Your body is meant to move every single day, so make sure you’re moving it! Regular movement helps keep your bones healthy. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Calla Jayne Kleene here.

Top Longevity Tip #3

Sometimes it’s necessary to put stress on our bodies. That’s why you should prioritize your rest and recovery to optimize your stress levels. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Terry Wahls here.

Top Longevity Tip #4

Be proactive, rather than reactive, about your health. Being happy in your life is so vital and you should absolutely build a healthy, thriving community around you. Listen to the full episode with Kylene Terhune here.

Top Longevity Tip #5

Wearing blue light glasses when using your electronic devices, especially at night time. Blue light glasses help block out the blue light these devices give off that disrupt our sleep cycle. Listen to the full episode part one with Tom Houle and part two here.

Top Longevity Tip #6

Good quality sleep is the most important thing to focus on for healthy hormone levels, especially testosterone in men. It doesn’t matter if you’re sleeping through the night, if it’s not of high-quality sleep, it won’t improve your hormone health. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Tracy Gapin here.

Top Longevity Tip #7

Realizing that you are worth it and should care for yourself, first. Prioritizing your own health and self-care will allow you to care more fully for others. Listen to the full episode with Rachel Varga here.

Top Longevity Tip #8

Sleep is essential for daily function. Take all of your electronics out of your bedroom, including your phone, television, and laptop. Listen to the full episode with Aimee Carlson here.

Top Longevity Tip #9

Start your children off on the best foot possible by feeding them a healthy diet full of fruits and veggies. Many chronic diseases begin in childhood and can be linked to poor nutrition. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Ana Maria Temple here.

Top Longevity Tip #10

Fasting and meditation are the most important treatments for functional health. Make sure you give yourself time every day to meditate. Listen to the full episode with Todd White here.

Top Longevity Tip #11

Focus on what’s right with you, not what’s wrong for you. And make sure you remember to breathe! Breathing is a lost art. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum here.

Top Longevity Tip #12

Eat as close to a native diet as possible. This means eating locally grown produce and eating what’s in season native to where you’re living. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Ben Pospisil here.

Top Longevity Tip #13

Go outside every single day! Being outdoors in the sunshine and moving your body will help all aspects of your health. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Veronique Desaulniers here.

Top Longevity Tip #14

Take advantage of the natural ebb and flow of daylight and darkness to live in line with your circadian rhythm. Get natural, full-spectrum light first thing in the morning. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Carrie Jones here.

Top Longevity Tip #15

Make meaningful connections with other people, especially if you get some good loving out of it! Listen to the full episode with Dr. Keira Barr here.

Top Longevity Tip #16

Make sure you’re prioritizing relaxation and breathing. These techniques can help strengthen your parasympathetic nervous system. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Beth O’Hara here.

Top Longevity Tip #17

Find a positive, fun movement that you love to keep your body moving every day. Listen to the full episode with Dr. Carol Lourie in episode 29.

Top Longevity Tip #18

Eat healthily and avoid processed foods. Make sure you eat a variety of veggies! Listen to the full episode with Veronica Worley in episode 28.

Top Longevity Tip #19

Reduce your exposure to electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs), especially at night.

This means keeping your cell away from your body while you're sleeping. Don't just put it in airplane mode, put it on the other side of the room or in an entirely separate room!

Top Longevity Tip #20

Add more laughter into your life! Did you know that children laugh an average of 400 times a day, whereas adults laugh only a dozen.

Laughing relieves physical tension and stress and actively boosts the immune system.

I urge you to adopt at least one of these top tips right away. I’d love to know which one you’re focusing on first! Let me know in the comments on the episode page.

Quotes

“You don’t have to be sick to take dramatic action to be a healthier person.” [4:06]

“I think meditation is the single most important practice an adult can have. Then fasting, just following that. Both require practice. Both are perceived as difficult. The people who say they don’t have time to meditate need meditation the most.” [16:04]

“Sunshine, fresh air, and moving your body are so important in keeping your body thriving and alive.” [17:59]

Anxiety levels are rising globally with everything that’s going on this year. I wanted to give you this bonus episode full of my top tips to help you reduce your anxiety, not just in these moments, but all year round.

Ways you can treat your anxiety

Conventional medicine
Create a calming, electronic free sleeping environment
Practice meditation
Take supplements

About Dr. Stephanie Gray

Stephanie Gray, DNP, MS, ARNP, ANP-C, GNP-C, ABAAHP, FAARFM, is a functional medicine provider who helps men and women build sustainable and optimal health and longevity so that they can focus on what matters most to them!

She is the Amazon best-selling author of her book Your Longevity Blueprint, host of the Your Longevity Blueprint podcast, and co-founder of Your Longevity Blueprint Nutraceuticals with her husband, Eric.

They enjoy spending time outside with their son William. They own the Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic in Hiawatha, Iowa.

Conventional Medicine and Anxiety

Anxiety is on the rise amongst my patients. With everything this year has thrown us, it’s unsurprising. But that doesn’t mean you can’t support your body through these anxious periods in a few different ways.

First of all, what exactly is anxiety? I walk you through the specific ways it manifests in your body and explain how many of these signs you need to exhibit in order to receive that diagnosis.

From a conventional, western medicine point of view, there are a few steps you can take. Your doctor might prescribe certain medications, particularly SSRIs and Benzodiazepine, to help you handle the symptoms of anxiety. You might receive a subscription for them separately, or, in some cases, jointly.

Your medical doctor should also recommend talking therapy to help you work through the reasons you’re feeling anxious. This might be in combination with one of the medications mentioned.

Treating Anxiety with Natural Care

There are also natural methods to help calm your anxiety symptoms. Gentle exercise, meditation, and creating a calming, electronic-free bedroom are all at the top of my list.

I’d also recommend taking certain supplements and a daily multivitamin. I’ve linked to the ones I mentioned in this episode and you can get a discount in my shop using the code ‘estrogen detox.’

Finally, I wholeheartedly encourage you to get all your hormones checked by your doctor. They can do this with a blood test that will show you exactly where you could use extra nutritional support. Because, just as with everything in our bodies, your overall mental health begins in your gut.

Are you feeling the pressure and anxiety from the last year? You’re not alone! It’s important to acknowledge how you’re feeling and take the steps you need to help yourself. Let me know in the comments on the episode page what steps you’re taking for yourself.

In This Episode

How anxiety presents in your life and body [1:30]
What the types of conventional medication for anxiety are [2:45]
Some natural ways you can help reduce your levels of anxiety [7:15]
What supplements you should take for anxiety [8:00]
Why you should consider getting your hormones tested [13:00]

Supplementing naturally occurring peptides and nutrients helps support your body’s mitochondria. I’m joined by naturopathic doctor, Amber Krogsrud, to talk about how she uses peptides to improve both her and her patient’s overall health.

About Dr. Amber Krogsrud

Dr. Amber Krogsrud is a naturopathic doctor who focuses on holistic hormone health. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Biology with a Minor in Chemistry from NDSU in Fargo, North Dakota. Prior to her undergraduate studies, she worked in a chiropractic clinic and discovered the beauty of natural medicine. She also developed a passion for nutrition and began pursuing a career that viewed health as a holistic lifestyle involving food as nutrition.

To convert this passion to a career, Dr. Amber completed a four-year medical degree at the prestigious Bastyr University in San Diego, California. during her clinical years at BUC, Dr. Amber interned at an alternative health access campaign (AHAC) in Seattle, a clinic that focuses on bringing naturopathic treatment to at-risk youth and homeless adults.

As a medical student, Dr. Amber was handpicked as a member of the naturopathic medical student association (NMSA) as the professional development chair and was gifted the prestigious Bragg’s Foundation scholarship award.

Key Takeaways

NAD is a nutrient you can supplement that helps support your mitochondria. It increases your energy levels and helps clear brain fog. [18:00]
You can use peptides in combination with diet and lifestyle changes to lose weight and improve your overall health [30:20]
The average cost for including peptides in your health and wellness routine is $300 - $400 per month. [38:37]

Quotes

“The overall effects of the NAD is to help the mitochondria. If they’re really in a depleted state, they might actually feel a little more tired; most people feel energized, but it’s hard to know how someone will respond to their first NAD IV.” [20:39]

“There’s literally a peptide for most everything. There’s a peptide for everything! But they work through cellular signaling.” [28:26]

A low-alcohol, Keto-friendly wine that doesn’t leave you feeling worse for the wear sounds like something from your dreams. I’m joined by Todd White of Dry Farm Wines to talk about Natural Wine production and why it’s the best wine for you to drink.

About Todd White

Todd White is a serial entrepreneur and creator since the age of 17. Today, after 15 years in the wine business, he dedicates his life to educating and helping people make better choices about food, nutrition, and how they think about consuming alcohol.

As the founder of Dry Farm Wines, a writer, speaker, and a leader in the organic/Natural Wine movement, he has widely educated communities on conscious consumption. Todd is deeply passionate about bringing people together to share love and laughter through Natural Wine and the health benefits it provides.

Todd is a self-described biohacker who practices daily meditation, Wim Hof breathing, cold thermogenesis, a ketogenic diet, and daily 22-hour intermittent fasting. He is also a frequent speaker on topics including ketogenic lifestyle, meditation, and the Dry Farm Wines unique company culture. His entire team gathers each morning for a meditation and gratitude practice.

Key Takeaways

Just because a wine is labeled organic doesn’t mean it’s natural.
Women in menopause tend to have more headaches and other hangover symptoms when they drink red wine because of the additives in it.
The sugar content in Natural Wine is extremely low, so it’s not going to spike your blood sugar like other wines.

In This Episode

What the natural wine movement is
How the wine industry mimics the processed food and factory farming industries
What you need to know about the additives, both natural and chemical, used in wine production
The role of irrigation in winemaking
Where red wine gets its deep red color
Why middle-aged women have a more difficult time drinking red wine

Food is medicine, or it’s poison. The choice is yours and it affects not only yourself but your children. But to make the right choices, you need to have the right information and guidance. Today’s guest's mission is to equip her patients with knowledge. That way they can take control of the health and wellbeing of themselves and their families.

Dr. Ana-Maria Temple is a pediatrician, award-winning speaker at Harvard Club of Boston, and a frequent guest on TV news and talk shows. In her 20 year career, she has treated over 36,000 patients. She owns her own practice, Integrative Health Carolinas in Charlotte, NC where she helps hundreds of families achieve wellness with less medication.

There are many steps you can take now to prevent the emergence of chronic diseases in your children. Like so many things, this starts with nutrition. Dr. Temple takes us on her journey of discovery that led her to radically overhaul her pantry. Within just a few years or eating properly, her children’s chronic health conditions all but disappeared.

Dr. Temple recommends that we all start with the basics. The body needs good nutrition to make healthy cells and hormones. Processed foods need to make way for more fruits and vegetables. Getting your kids to embrace this shift takes patience and a change in mindset. With that, they’ll be set up for a lifetime of healthy choices.

What changes can you make to your pantry today? Share it with me in the comments on the episode page!

It’s not uncommon to feel powerless over your health. This might be because modern lifestyles often drive our eating habits. Today’s guest took control of her health by changing her eating patterns with intermittent fasting.

Cynthia Thurlow is a globally recognized expert in nutrition and intermittent fasting. She is a highly sought after speaker and CEO and founder of Everyday Wellness Project. Cynthia has been a nurse practitioner for over 20 years. Her TED Talk on intermittent fasting has been viewed nearly 6 million times. She has been featured on ABC, FOX5, KTLA, CW, and in Medium and Entrepreneur. She's also the host of the Everyday Wellness podcast, which was listed as "20 Podcasts That Will Help You Grow in 2020" by Entrepreneur magazine.

Cynthia was skeptical of intermittent fasting at first. But the more she learned about this healthy eating pattern, the more she realized its power to optimize your health. Modern lifestyles have drastically changed the way we eat. However, for the great majority of human history, intermittent fasting was how we got nutrition. Returning to this process is a return to fueling our bodies the way they were meant to be.

Properly combining intermittent fasting with exercise is a powerful and safe weight-loss strategy. Cynthia explains how exercising on an empty stomach not only leads to weight loss but more energy and mental clarity as well. It also promotes autophagy, the body’s process of cleaning out damaged cells. This leads to healthier cellular health and many other benefits.

Overall, the strategy of intermittent fasting is about taking control. It’s going to look different for everyone. While this may seem like a big change, it can still fit your schedule, diet, and lifestyle.

Toxins are everywhere. Typically, our bodies know how to handle these dangerous chemicals to keep us healthy. But if the toxic overload gets to be too much, serious problems will arise. Today’s guest is a recognized expert in helping people maintain their body’s detoxification systems and avoid these harmful compounds from the start.

Aimee Carlson, aka “The Toxin Terminator”, is the host of her own podcast, a best-selling author, and featured expert guest on many podcasts and summits. Aimee has spent the last seven years removing hidden toxins from her home to be free of chronic disease. She has helped countless others do the same.

Simply put, a toxin is anything that can enter the body that the body can’t put to good use. Sadly, these are everywhere you look. Instead of getting overwhelmed, Aimee urges us to focus on what we can control. This starts at home. Getting rid of products with artificial fragrances, eating natural foods, and getting fresh air into your home is a way to take control right away.

When toxins build up in the body, they affect organ function and change cell-structure. Chronic diseases are the natural effect of this. From fighting obesity to preventing cancer, reducing your toxic burden is central to longevity.

Toxicity isn’t limited to physical health. It enters our thoughts and relationships too. This not only harms us physically but mentally and spiritually as well. There is a strong documented link between gut health and mental health. Aimee shares how we can all work to write a new narrative for ourselves to break out of these toxic habits.

What can you do today to reduce your toxic burden? Let me know in the comments on the episode page!

In my practice, I see many clients yearning for younger-looking skin. There’s so much that can be done, from a focus of gut health to laser treatments.

Through education on skin care, skin and laser rejuvenation, non-surgical solutions, and healing lifestyle practices, Rachel helps inspire others with her unique toolkit to navigate and strategize aging well using the science of beauty.

Today, Rachel and I discuss the interconnectedness of the body’s systems. In order for rejuvenation procedures to work and last, the whole person must be addressed.

There are simple yet crucial things that you can start doing today for your skin. This includes morning and night cleansings, protecting yourself from the sun, and regular exfoliations.

With so many different treatments available, we talk about which options could be right for you. Whether it’s red light therapy, lasers, supplements, or derma rollers, there’s a lot that you can do.

We’re living in a low testosterone epidemic. Yet boosting testosterone is one way of increasing longevity. Today’s guest is an expert on this topic. He’ll tell you the most important steps that men can take to optimize their health and boost their testosterone levels.

Dr. Tracy Gapin is a board-certified urologist, world-renowned men’s health and performance expert, professional speaker and author. He has over 20 experience providing Fortune 500 executives, entrepreneurs, and athletes a personalized health plan. Dr. Gapin combines his compassion and extensive experience with men’s health care and cutting-edge technology to offer patients individualized, state-of-the-art care.

Low testosterone affects every aspect of men’s health. It leads to drops in energy, mental acuity, bone density, and nutritional health. With this hormone being such a key piece of the puzzle, Dr. Gapin made it his mission to address the root causes of its decline.

Dr. Gapin has seen how environmental impacts disrupt hormone production. Endocrine disruptors are everywhere these days. Plastics, personal care products, and more contain phthalates that disrupt proper hormone production.

Since everyone’s genetic blueprint is unique, we all respond to our environment differently. Using data and the latest technology, Dr. Gapin helps his patients make informed decisions to address the root cause, not just symptoms. Sleep and epigenetics, being a central part of hormonal health, Dr. Gapin makes these a focus of his practice.

What can you do to avoid phthalates in your environments and get better sleep? Let’s chat about it in the comments on the episode page!

Nutritional supplements and vitamins are the bedrock of supporting the immune system. But there are thousands of products and countless sources of information on what to take. Evidence does exist showing that many of these products are safe and effective. Just remember that not all supplements are created equal.

Tom Houle is back to continue our discussion about the myths of supplements. Be sure to listen to part one if you haven’t yet. Tom is a self-described geek when it comes to mitochondrial support. As a representative of a premier dietary supplement manufacturer, Tom has a solid understanding of what makes a great product.

Contrary to what many people think, there are numerous studies into the efficacy and safety of supplements. There have been clinical trials. There are numerous studies. The best supplements will be formulated based on these.

Some of the best nutritional supplements target mitochondrial health. Being the powerhouse of the cells, mitochondria play an essential role in immune support. They also provide critical energy. Tom and I discuss what the best mitochondrial supplements provide and what to look for in them.

We also deconstruct the myth that multivitamins are unnecessary. The sad truth is most of us are vitamin deficient. The way modern food is grown and processed removes a lot of the essential nutrition from it. Regularly taking a multivitamin helps compensate for this.

There is also the belief that eating fermented foods is enough to support your gut microbiome. It can certainly be helpful, but there just isn’t enough information to know exactly what you need. Probiotics can help fill the gap. With thousands of products to choose from, Tom explains that looking for genetic diversity and the stability of the product is key.

What do you do to support your mitochondria? Let’s talk about it in the comments on the episode page!

There’s no pill, potion, or powder that’s going to replace lifestyle changes. But supplements can help. There are so many myths out there about supplements. That’s what makes it a hard topic to understand. To clear things up, I’ve brought in an expert to help bust through the myths surrounding this important topic.

Tom Houle represents a premier dietary supplement manufacturer which leads the way in proactive health and wellness as it relates to the healthcare industry. He has spent nearly a decade partnering with functional and integrative medical practices in order to get patients better faster through education and practice building. Through consultation, Tom specializes in custom strategies to increase patient compliance and improve outcomes.

First off, Tom sheds some light on the varying quality of supplements. Not all are created equal. It’s important to understand the source of the product. Even the geographic location of the raw ingredients can make a difference. That’s why it’s critical to use a product that is sourced from the place where the original research was conducted.

To identify a high-quality supplement, it’s important to study the product’s label. Tom recommends looking for minerals. Avoid oxides and carbonates. Seek out amino acid chelates. Doing this will help your body better absorb the minerals in the supplements more efficiently.

There is also a lot to understand concerning fish oil, another common supplement. The key is finding a product that is in the triglyceride form. Natural preservatives against oxidation and testing for environmental toxins are another sign of quality fish oil.

How do you use supplements to manage your health? Let’s chat about it in the comments on the episode page!

A central part of aging well is preventing infections and cancer or treating them. Many conventional treatments come with serious side-effects, which is why at my practice we integrate and combine conventional methods with natural medicine. This provides a more holistic and supportive approach to heal the whole person, not just the disease.

Kylene Terhune is a functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner, wife, mom, dog-mom, and foodie. A former opera singer turned health nerd, she runs a virtual health coaching practice working with women who struggle with chronic digestive symptoms. Kylene’s mission is to empower women in the home to go from homemakers to healthmakers through education, action, and simple lifelong changes. After recovering from Hodgkin’s Lymphoma with the help of an integrative treatment approach, Kylene wrote Healthy Through Hodgkin’s in order to help others do the same.

After her diagnosis, Kaylene dove into the world of integrative medicine. While chemotherapy is very effective in curing Hodgkin’s, it does so at a cost. In some ways, the treatments can be as devastating as the disease. Ever an inquisitive person, Kylene began looking for ways to treat her disease in a more comprehensive way. This came to involve fewer chemo treatments combined with supplements to help her body recover.

Kylene takes her hard-learned lessons and applies them in her own work. This means helping her clients find a diet that is personalized just for them. No two guts are the same. That’s why becoming the engineer of your own nutrition is a key to healthy living.

A large part of Kylene’s healing involved curing what she calls “emotional constipation”. She built connecting with her feelings and faith into the bedrock of her recovery process. Addressing and dealing with blocked emotions is an integral part of healing the whole person.

Healthy Through Hodgkin's: How one woman combined conventional medicine with natural methods to cure her cancer and support her body.

View Details

Welcome to part two of my interview with Dr. Terry Wahls. We continue discussing some of Dr. Wahls’ recommendations for healthy living. In many ways, a health journey is a hero’s journey. It involves a separation from a conventional approach to disease in which you learn important lessons before successfully re-engaging in the struggle.

Dr. Wahls practices the same advice she preaches. That sometimes means packing a cabbage in her carry-on luggage. Of course, not everyone can follow the Wahls Protocol to the letter. Dr. Wahls shares how people can adapt her protocol to conform to various dietary and lifestyle restrictions. That way, it’s possible to eat a paleo diet as well as a vegetarian one.

A large part of Dr. Wahls’ protocol centers on ketogenic eating. There is a growing body of evidence that this type of diet has huge benefits. This includes mental and neurological health and it helps those with insulin resistance. But, there are risks associated with it, such as high cholesterol. Dr. Wahls provides some great advice for adapting the diet to suit anyone’s particular needs.

Dr. Wahls shares some of her favorite meals that you can prepare at home. Just because chicken liver is the main ingredient, doesn’t mean your dinner shouldn’t taste great. These are wonderful delicious meals that are easy to make and will help keep you healthy.

Are you eating a ketogenic diet? Tell me how it’s going in the comments on the episode page!

The Wahls Protocol: How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine

The Wahls Protocol Cooking for Life: The Revolutionary Modern Paleo Plan to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions

View Details

Chronic disease can have a devastating impact on your life. It can be all too easy to give up and accept the new normal, but there are often ways to regain control. Dr. Terry Wahls not only found a way to slow the progression of her own disease, but she also developed a protocol to help others do the same.

Dr. Wahls is recognized worldwide for her protocol which is transforming the lives of countless people. She is a clinical professor at the University of Iowa. Dr. Wahls conducts clinical trials into the efficacy of therapeutic lifestyle to treat multiple sclerosis-related symptoms. She is the author of The Wahls Protocol as well as her revolutionary cookbook. In part one of our conversation, Dr. Wahls shares the specifics of her protocol.

Before her diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, Dr. Wahls was an incredibly active woman. After seeking out various aggressive treatments for her condition, Dr. Wahls realized that it was up to her to take control of her health. Dr. Wahls came to realize that redesigning a paleo-diet to focus on the right nutrients could make a difference. Within months, she experienced massive improvements and is as active as ever.

A key part of her recovery centers on feeding the mitochondria. With her redesigned diet, Dr. Wahls is able to better make use of the nutritional compounds that would otherwise be in supplements. Eating lots of green leafy, colorful, and sulfur-rich vegetables is a key part of this. Likewise, there are foods to avoid, particularly gluten and casein.

Changing your habits and diet is easier said than done. Most practitioners know the struggle of patient compliance. Dr. Wahls shares some great advice for helping to motivate patients so that they can better take ownership of their health.

What comes to mind when you hear the word chiropractor? There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding this field which is a real shame as there’s so much more to what they do than adjustments. In this episode, Dr. Calla Jayne Kleene shares how chiropractors can help you build a truly healthier body.

Calla Jayne Kleene is a chiropractor and owner of Back in Line Family Chiropractic & Wellness in Hiawatha, Iowa. Her whole-system approach to healing has helped countless patients recover from chronic health issues without needing to rely on medication or surgery.

When getting adjustments by a chiropractor, you’re going to hear some strange noises. Dr. Kleene explains that those are the sounds of gases releasing under pressure. That release of pressure is the cause of the euphoria many feel post-adjustment.

Not all chiropractors use the same techniques. In fact, it’s a highly specialized profession. For some, a low-force approach may be best. Others will prefer something more intense. Dr. Kleene explains what to consider when searching for the right chiropractor for your specific needs.

We talk about what chiropractors do beyond giving adjustments. For instance, active release technique releases adhesions between nerves and muscles. In fact, bones are just one focus of Dr. Kleene. She pays equal attention to multiple systems so that healing becomes truly comprehensive.

Welcome to Your Longevity Blueprint Podcast. This show is about helping you achieve your dream health. Everyone’s health journey is unique, that’s why I’ve created this podcast to help you through my integrative approach.

First, I want to tell you a little about me and why my old band-aid approach didn’t work. I run a private practice in Iowa, where I help people regain control over their own health. One day, I found myself struggling to even breathe. My heart-rate was out of control. It turned out that in helping others, I had overlooked myself.

That realization led me down my own health journey. I had become acquainted with short-term solutions in medicine during my own struggles with infertility. Simply taking medication in an attempt to solve problems left me frustrated and no closer to healing than before. There had to be a better way.

Through my own struggles and working with thousands of patients, I developed a unique way of viewing how the human body is structured. To build and maintain my health, I developed a longevity blueprint. This was a solution for me, and now I’m sharing it with you.

Throughout this podcast series, I will be sharing the most progressive functional medicine options for the different systems in your body. I’ll outline plans of action for maintaining your health and improving your longevity to reduce your risk of chronic disease.

What has frustrated you in your health? Let me know in the comments on the episode page!

In this episode:

Why healing is about more than medication
Viewing your health journey as a blueprint to a better life
How integrative and functional medicine differs from conventional medicine
What you can expect from this podcast going further

We all want to live longer, healthier lives.

The problem is that we’re constantly being bombarded with so many new diets, workout plans, and lifestyle adjustments that it’s hard to filter out what will actually work for us and give us the results we’re looking for.

If you’re sick of not having the answers, sick of being told your symptoms are all in your head, sick of being prescribed solutions from a pill bottle, it’s time to look outside the cookie-cutter or bandaid approach of the conventional medical industry and discover your own, personalized blueprint for health.

Join Dr. Stephanie Gray on the Longevity Blueprint Podcast where she explores the interaction of nutrition, genetics, hormones, toxins, and infections using functional medicine principles to help you improve your health and longevity by finding the root cause of your symptoms.

Listen in each week to learn from experts at the top of their fields sharing progressive, revolutionary, actionable tips, strategies, and resources to help you build your dream health from the ground up.

Are you ready to discover your longevity blueprint? Let’s live long together! Wellness is Waiting!
