98 - Sidelined: How Women Can Navigate a Broken Healthcare System with Susan Salenger
Have you ever felt like you had to fight tooth and nail just to get the medical care you deserve? You're not alone. In today's episode, we're diving deep into the broken healthcare system, particularly as it pertains to women. We'll be chatting with Susan Salenger, author of "Sidelined: How Women Can Navigate A Broken Healthcare System," as she sheds light on the barriers women face in accessing quality medical care.
Susan opens our eyes to the harsh reality that, even in 2021, gender bias still runs rampant in the medical community. But here's the kicker – some of the barriers women encounter stem from within themselves. It's a double-edged sword, really. Women often find themselves prioritizing the health needs of their families over their own. Can you relate?
Navigating the healthcare system as a woman is no easy feat. But armed with knowledge and awareness, we can begin to dismantle these barriers and advocate for the quality care we all deserve. Tune in today as Susan Salenger shares her invaluable insights with us. Your health matters – find out how to make sure no one sidelines it!

Ever feel that something is “off” no matter what you do? Your energy never seems to rally and you can’t drop stubborn weight even though you’re doing “all the things”?
Today, I’m joined by an incredible guest, Justin Frandson, Athleticism Performance Coach, founder of EMF Rocks, and author, who's here to shed light on the fascinating link between your environment and your ability to feel and perform your best.
In working with his athletes, Justin noticed that many were experiencing problems with performance, and he began to connect the dots to the effects of technology.
For example, he noticed that when one of his athletes stopped wearing his smartwatch, his performance dramatically improved.
In his research, Justin found that the EMFs we’re exposed to from 5G, technology wearables, Wifi, and other various forms of electricity, are harming the human body in many ways.
In this episode we dive into EMFs and their effects on our natural sleep patterns, hormones, energy, and performance, along with lifestyle tips to reduce EMF exposure.
We also dive deep into EMF rocks and how they can reduce EMF toxicity that significantly affects your health.
Justin shares easy changes we can make that reduce our EMF exposure. He also shows us how his innovative solution – EMF Rocks – can reduce EMF toxicity that you’re exposed to.

*Request from Team PW: We would love it if you left a review for us on your favorite podcast platform! Let us know one new thing you learned, and/or one thing you would like us to cover next year.
Have you ever felt like you're stuck in a rut, unable to move forward in life? Maybe you've experienced trauma or hardship that's left you feeling paralyzed. In today's episode, we're diving deep into overcoming paralysis and finding peace after trauma with our special guest, Charis Santillie, a Fulfillment & Life Transition Coach and host of the Charis Your Life podcast.
Even in our daily lives, there are often things that can leave us feeling stuck and paralyzed, whether we realize it or not. After experiencing tragedy, many people turn to various forms of addiction as a coping mechanism.

#94 - Food-Addicted? Unraveling the Food Industry's Grip: A Journey to Health with Eric Edmeades
Have you ever wondered how much power the food you eat holds over your health and well-being? Join us on today's episode as we sit down with serial entrepreneur turned behavioral change expert, Eric Edmeades. It was his own health struggles as a teen that led him on a path to revolutionize the way we approach nutrition and wellness.
Growing up routinely ill, Eric found himself at a loss until he discovered the transformative power of food as medicine. Shedding 35 pounds and bidding farewell to acne and infections without the need for surgery, Eric's remarkable recovery sparked a lifelong mission to empower others to reclaim their health. But what struck him the most was the lack of curiosity from medical professionals about his unconventional healing journey.
In our conversation, Eric delves into the intricate psychology behind our food choices and how the food industry has manipulated our relationship with what we eat.
Eric Edmeades is on a mission to rewrite the narrative of health and vitality for people around the globe. Tune in to hear about dismantling the grip of the food and pharmaceutical industries and uplifting individuals from the depths of despair.

#92 - Hormones or Horrible-mones? Wondering if Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is Right for You? Interview with Dr Daved Rosensweet
HORMONES - Ugh! If they are out of balance, everything in your body is unhappy.
Hormones are complex, intricate, and unique to you. Low or high estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone can cause miserable symptoms and make you feel crazy.
Thankfully, there are things you can do.
My amazing guest on today’s episode, Dr. Daved Rosensweet, is an expert in women’s hormones, particularly bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) - a powerful and natural treatment for hormonal imbalances. Hormone replacement therapy has gotten a bad rap over the years - primarily due to faulty research.
Dr. Rosensweet sets the record straight.
He is also a master of perimenopause and menopause, authoring the books Menopause and Natural Hormones and Happy Healthy Hormones: How to Thrive in Menopause.
Dr. Rosensweet shares what led him to become so passionate about helping women to heal their hormones naturally and feel like themselves again. He also dives into why women are being UNDER-prescribed bioidentical hormone therapy and feeling overwhelmed. He gives excellent insight into whether or not you may benefit from BHRT. AND he’s giving away his free book, if you would like to learn more!
Check out this episode to get your hormone questions answered!

# 86 - Do You Find Yourself Eating Even When You're Not Hungry? Hint: It’s Not Your Willpower. Interview with Ali Shapiro
Why do I overeat when I’m not hungry? Is it willpower or something else? Here’s the tea…it’s something else.
Deprivation and restriction lead to stress and falling off the wagon. In order to truly be successful with healthy eating and living, it is time to move away from rigid rules and the “all or nothing” mindset. Plus, it’s a lot more fun and freeing!
You can stop letting food control YOU and actually make the choices you really want.
Join our incredible conversation with my guest, holistic nutritionist and integrated health coach, Ali Shapiro. Ali is the creator of Truce with Food and host of the Insatiable Podcast.
Her own personal struggle with weight loss, emotional eating, binge eating, IBS, and chronic depression led her to discover functional medicine. She knew that treating the symptoms would not heal her relationship with food - she searched tirelessly and found the root cause.
In this episode, Ali shares how she broke free from the mindset of deprivation and restriction and found freedom again. She gives amazing tools to get you on the right path - be sure to stay on for her TAIL acronym. You will LOVE this interview!

# 75 - Put the Brakes on Aging? There's a New Game in Town, Spermidine
The problem with aging is that you’re not dealing with just one new challenge. It seems that suddenly everything seems to start going in the wrong direction and it’s all at the same time. A little-known supplement that has been gaining in popularity, Spermidine, has been shown to help protect against age-related diseases, including heart disease and dementia.
Interestingly, it’s also thought to improve autophagy, the process the body uses to clean out damaged cells and regenerate healthy, new cells. To hear more on autophagy, check out last week’s podcast!
Amazingly, spermidine has also been shown to improve memory and cognitive function, and even help with healthy liver function. With so many potential health benefits, it’s no wonder that spermidine is gaining some serious attention in the functional medicine world.
Join me today as I unpack this little-known powerhouse and why it’s soaring in popularity.

#74 Looking for Proven Ways to Create Younger Cells, Slow Aging, Prevent Cognitive Decline, and Avoid Cancer? Welcome to Autophagy!
It sounds too good to be true...turning back the clock on aging. But it's a natural process that your body does every day. The only problem is that this process slows down as we get older. How ironic - our "anti-aging system" doesn't work so well as we age.
Autophagy is the body’s way of cleaning out damaged cells, so that it can make newer, healthier cells. And it’s incredibly beneficial to your overall health.
Autophagy is a mechanism that your body uses to remove the dysfunctional cells and recycle parts of them toward cellular repair and cleaning.
It's like your body's way of taking out the garbage and the recycling in order to keep all your systems running smoothly. Just like hitting a reset button on your body. And the great news is that you can develop simple habits that will improve your body's autophagy processes and truly slow the clock on age-related illnesses and aging. Listen in today to learn how!

Energy drinks are a concern not because they contain sugar and caffeine, but because they have so much sugar and caffeine that they can cause short term and long term health problems.
Join me today and I reveal the best and the worst energy drinks along with terrific alternatives to boost your energy while improving your health.

# 62 - 4 Simple Hacks to Ignite Your Energy, Renew Your Mitochondria, And Eliminate Heavy Metals
We don’t often think about our mitochondrial health and how it affects our energy levels, let alone the toll that daily exposure to heavy metals takes on these little powerhouses. Believe it or not, we’re exposed to heavy metals from countless sources everyday. And those metals end up getting stored on our cells, tissues, and organs where they continue to wreak havoc on our health.
If you’re chronically exhausted and run-down, in spite of taking good care of health, then today’s episode is for you. Join in to learn simple ways to reduce your exposure to these energy-robbing metals along with a smoothie for easily removing stored metals from your body.

The instructions for both smoothies recommend blending with 2 bananas and orange juice, which is a lot* of natural sugar at one time. I prefer mixing with pure coconut water, a handful of wild blueberries, and cilantro.

# 59 - How GMOs and Glyphosate are Linked to Your Gut Problems, Inflammation, and Even Cancer
About 30 years ago, Genetically Modified Foods (GMOs) came with the promise that they would solve world hunger and use fewer pesticides and herbicides. Did they live up to their promise?
Nope. Not only have GMOs not increased crop yields or decreased pesticides and herbicide use, but they’ve been shown to have created super-weeds and super-pests, which actually has led to higher amounts of herbicides like Roundup on our foods.
The increased use of herbicides and pesticides has been linked to increased digestive disorders, neurological problems, inflammation, and cancer. Not to mention serious problems to farming communities, wildlife, and our food quality as these toxins leach into the fields, ground water and food.
If 64 other countries label GMOs for consumers to make the choice, why hasn’t the U.S.? Bottom line: Money. Why should you care?
Listen today to find out why you want to avoid these poisons at all costs and what alternatives you can choose at the grocery store.

#57 - Looking To Improve Energy Levels, Anti-Aging Efforts, Brain And Heart Health? Coq10 May Be Just What You’ve Been Missing.
When it comes to popular supplements, CoQ10 ranks at the top, along with multivitamins, probiotics, and fish oil. And for good reason – CoQ10 supports the heart, helps your body to make energy, and is a powerful antioxidant.
Popular medications such as statins, beta-blockers, and tricyclic antidepressants have been shown to deplete CoQ10, leading to potential health risks. In addition, we make less and less CoQ10 as we age. So, should we all be taking it at some point?
Supplementation is a highly personal thing, and just because CoQ10 is right for many people may or may not mean it’s right for you. So how do you know if you should add this supplement to your routine? Join me today to find out whether you may benefit from it, and if it’s time to talk with your healthcare provider about CoQ10.

# 50 - Supplement Shakedown: Is Your Favorite Supplement Brand Owned by Nestle, Clorox, or Big Pharma?
What do Big Pharma and supplements have in common? Turns out, too much. This is a case of “What you don’t know could hurt you”. Here’s why: your favorite supplement brand is probably not owned by your favorite supplement brand anymore.
At least 58% of Americans have taken vitamin supplements within the past month.
The supplement market is expected to grow from about $130 billion in 2021 to almost $200 billion in 2028, worldwide.
Big Pharma and large conglomerates want a big piece of this rapidly growing pie, and it affects the supplements you take everyday. In fact, over 100 popular supplement companies are owned by just 14 mega corporations.
Listen in today and have your mind blown. Better yet, get advice for how to buy the best supplements for you and your family going forward.

We can all feel overstimulated and overwhelmed from time-to-time, but for the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), it’s a way of life.

Throughout their lives, HSPs are often told that they’re overly-sensitive and that they need to lighten up. Turns out though, their heightened sensitivity is now known to be linked to higher levels of creativity, deep personal relationships, and an amazing appreciation for beauty.
Join me as I talk with Denise Carron today and we unwrap the gift of being a Highly Sensitive Person.

# 42 - Looking to Relieve Stress, Improve Energy, and Increase Concentration? 4 Key Adaptogens You Want to Get to Know
Adaptogens are an amazing class of herbs, roots, and other plant components that help to balance, restore and protect the body. What’s unique about them is that they don’t have a specific action that is the same from person-to-person.
They actually help to balance your body based specifically on what it needs, meaning they respond differently to you than they would to me. They are used most commonly in the form of supplements, tinctures, and teas.
That all sounds great, but do they actually work? Exciting research shows that they are effective at boosting energy, balancing moods, reducing stress, improving sleep, and sharpening concentration. Essentially adaptogens protect us against the harmful effects of stress and they help us to feel more resilient, balanced, and healthier overall.

# Podcast 40 - Need an Emotional Detox? 6 Simple Steps to Let Go and Find Balance
Today, we're going to talk about something really important. It's an often overlooked piece in the healing journey. In past episodes we’ve talked about ways to effectively detox your body. But what we didn’t talk about is the importance of detoxifying your emotions.

When this piece is left out of the healing journey, true healing can never fully take place. Today I’m going to share with you simple steps for emotionally detoxing that will help you to let go and find balance.

What do calcium supplements, flouride, and toxins have to do with getting a good night's sleep? Cue the small, but mighty, pineal gland!
