By acknowledging and addressing the influence of hormone levels, we can cultivate healthier, more resilient connections with our partners. In this week’s episode, we do just that.

How much protein do you eat in a day? Chances are it’s not enough for optimal performance.

More protein intake can not only result in weight loss as it increases satiety, but it can help increase our energy levels as well!

The monthly struggle of PMS and PMDD symptoms can be uncomfortable at best and debilitating at worst. It's considered a common woe, but often common doesn't always mean normal. We believe there are ways to decrease symptoms naturally and address the root cause of the issue. Hormone related health issues can be tricky, but we brought in an expert that has over 20 years of experience in the field to help us find solutions.
The temperature is dropping outside as we move into the winter season and for many of us that means illness, especially sinus and mucus trouble. We know the signs. The tingling at the back of our throats, the subtle cough, the slightly stuffy nose. But before we know it, we've moved into a full-blown sinus infection that sticks around for weeks. While the obvious choice is to rest and let the body heal, sometimes we can take supplements to help the body recover more quickly. On this week's episode we chat with Enzymedica VP of Education, Julia Craven, and look at a specialized enzyme formula that can help stop mucus and help us breathe normally once again.
Whether women are pre, peri, or post-menopausal, hormones play a significant role in a woman's wellbeing. When hormones are imbalanced inside a female body, it's very apparent and can result in a plethora of unwanted symptoms. Thankfully there are natural options that can not only help balance hormone levels but OPTIMIZE them to help you feel your best. On this week's episode we site down once again with Josh Porter, PA-C, to talk about the process he uses to help women feel their best through hormone optimization.
The hormones that help give us that drive and zest for life begin to dip as we age. This is true for men and women, but we don't have to settle or feel like we're not quite ourselves. This week we're taking a look at the hormone responsible for men's mood, bone density, body hair, energy, and of course libido and we're asking an expert on when it's appropriate for men to think about testosterone therapy.
Essential oils are everywhere. After seeing a surge of popularity in recent years, you can find them and essential oil based products in most stores. But that doesn't mean you should buy them. Just like buying CBD at a gas station should give you pause, so should purchasing essential oils at the big box store. On this week's episode we have an expert on the subject talking about the best essential oils we've found yet.
When purchasing supplements quality is everything. While the supplement industry track record is pretty spotless, there are limited manufacturers and products that lack in cleanliness and quality. But there are members of congress, the FDA, and Big Pharma who want to take advantage of those few instances and monopolize their power even further.
In September a bill is being presented to Congress that would impose "mandatory filing" making the supplements you need more difficult to purchase. This bill is championed by Senator Dick Durbin, who has a history of pushing for greater and greater regulation on the supplement industry and may seem innocuous at first glance, but we believe this particular bill deserves a little more scrutiny. That's why we called in an expert on the subject, a veteran in the industry, and someone intimately acquainted with supplement manufacturing.
Brain fog isn't a diagnosable ailment, but you've probably experienced it in some capacity. It refers to a lack of mental clarity, focus, and forgetfulness often thought to be induced by lack of sleep, stress, and other environmental factors. But what if the foods we're eating are making us feel this way? This week we have the pleasure of having Julia Craven back on the show to talk about how your trigger foods might be slowing you down and how to mitigate those symptoms with enzymes.
The idea of being a human pincushion may not be the height of relaxation for everyone, but we're here to argue that acupuncture can indeed be just that. Traditional Chinese medicine, herbalism, and acupuncture are practices that have existed for thousands of years and benefited people greatly around the world. These practices aren't that common in our area, so imagine how grateful we are to have a skilled practitioner of these healing techniques right on our campus.
What if there was a way to release your stress and anxiety for good? What about your physical pain? People around the world turn to chiropractic care, but not just when their back is out. Spinal adjustments and massages are typically associated with traditional chiro work, but what if there was another path to healing. This week we chat with Dr. Matt Smith of REV Centre for Optimal Living and discuss his work as a vitalistic chiropractor. He went from traditional chiro work, to having simple, light touches as the basis for his work and the results have been incredible for many.
If you live in the Chattanooga area, chances are you're quite familiar with seasonal allergies. We're plagued by an incredible dousing of pollen every year that quite literally covers EVERYTHING. But even if that's not the case in the place you call home, there are plenty of other allergens that can stir up symptoms. While there are plenty of OTC options, many of these come with a list of unwanted side-effects. What if we were to tell you that there are natural options, with no side-effects that work equally as well (based on clinical studies), and can work in as little as twenty minutes? Our guest this week is the formulator of a some really fantastic natural allergy supplements, registered clinical pharmacist Dr. Jason DuBois.
Have you ever had gut trouble where the symptoms were unexplainable? Histamines might be to blame.
Many of the foods we eat contain varying amounts of histamines or may actually trigger the release of histamines within our gut. This could result in headaches or migraines, fatigue, nausea, cramping, high blood pressure, or even irregular heartbeat among others. Our body naturally regulates histamines through an enzyme called DAO (diamine oxidase). It's responsible for breaking down histamines within our gut, but age, gastrointestinal disorders, and even some medications can either block or decrease DAO production. Thankfully there are now effective supplements that can help replenish our DAO levels and bring back balance to our histamine levels and we're speaking with the guy who literally patented the formula. Helmut Schmutz has worked in the pharmaceutical industry for more than three decades. As the founder of Sciotec, A.S. in Austria (now a division of STADA GmbH), he developed the original, patented DAO formulation. His insight and experience continue to drive innovation at Omne Diem.
When it comes to change, often the smallest and simplest things we put into effect yield the largest results. We would say that this is doubly true when it comes to our health. Eating healthy foods, learning to cope with stress, and getting enough sleep all seem simple enough, but putting them into practice during a demanding day may feel impossible. But remember, even the smallest actions can have a profound impact down the road. Our guest this week helps us understand and navigate many of those changes. Dr. Glen Depke is a naturopathic doctor and owner or Depke Wellness in California. He worked closely with Dr. Mercola for several years as chief nutritionist, an online contributor, and forum moderator and loves to "create wellness from the inside out." He helps empower individuals to reach their full potential; physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
