INSIDE THE EPISODE

There’s a common, often overlooked, dietary imbalance that may be increasing the risk of obesity, heart disease, pain, and mental health issues.

That imbalance lies in the type of fats we consume, or the essential omega-6 (think seeds oils) and omega-3 (think fish and leafy greens) fats.

While our ancestors evolved with a balanced ratio, today we consume about 20x more omega 6 fatty acids which many experts, like this week’s podcast guest, Dr. Simopoulos, a world authority on essential fatty acids and former nutritional adviser to the White House, believes it is responsible for our skyrocketing rates of disease.

So in this week’s podcast we’ll explore how this imbalance crept into our modern diets, why it’s driving so many of today’s chronic health issues, and what you can do to turn it around.

If you’ve ever wondered why inflammation, brain fog, and fatigue are so common—or why omega-3s are considered essential—this episode is for you! Dr. Simopoulos unpacks...

The surprising sources of omega-6 overload
The importance of prostaglandins (and what they are!)
The powerful benefits of omega-3s for your brain, heart, and longevity
And the simple steps you can take to restore balance and feel your best.

It’s a fascinating look at how something as seemingly small as a ratio can have such a profound impact on your health.

So grab your favorite snack, tune in, and learn how to eat for optimal health!

Did you know that nearly 70 million Americans suffer from digestive diseases, with an estimated 3 million diagnosed specifically with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)?

According to Dr. Knobbe, at the end of the American Civil War:

Only about 1% of the population was obese
Heart disease was almost unheard of
Cancer and diabetes were exceedingly rare
Alzheimer’s and age-related macular degeneration were unknown

In other words, chronic disease was rare in America, which is not the case today.

Although animal fats, sugar, and carbohydrates often take the blame for our rising disease rates, Dr. Knobbe's new book, The Ancestral Diet Revolution, argues that the real dietary villains are the vegetable oils that have replaced traditional animal fats.

Tune in to this week’s podcast to uncover why seed oils might be more critical to avoid than sugar, along with these fascinating insights:

What seed oils were used for before they became food
Why sugar consumption (and maybe even carbs) may be less dangerous than seed oils
The two mechanisms by which vegetable oils cause issues in the body
What OXLAMS are and why they should concern us
How vegetable oils can lead to fatigue and weight gain
What to eat on a truly ancestral diet
How to choose healthful animal products
And so much more!

Dr. Knobbe’s extensive research into this subject blew me away, and I sincerely hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I did.

You’ve likely heard that polyunsaturated fats (omega-3’s and omega-6’s) are essential for health, but what you might now know is that the balance between them is equally as important.

In fact, over the last few decades our intake of the omega-6 fatty acid, linoleic acid (yes, the one found in seed oils) has increased dramatically while our intake of omega-3’s has dwindled.

Which means most Americans today - have a very imbalanced omega ratio.

According to this week’s podcast expert, author and zoologist, Dr. Anthony Hulbert, who has been studying the omega balance for decades, this is likely one reason rates of inflammation, heart disease, obesity and mental health issues are on the rise.

His book was one of my all-time favorites and I highly, highly recommend you tune in now to learn more about the surprising and well-documented effects of this widespread imbalance and what you can do to improve yours! Here are some of my favorite takeaways:

One major oversight in America’s dietary guidelines

The different roles, health benefits and effects of omega-3’s and omega-6’s
Why animal fats are high in monounsaturated and saturated fats
The sources of omega-6’s and 3’s
The problem with omega-3 research
The link between omega-6’s and insulin resistance
The type of high-fat diets that makes rodents gain weight (and the type that doesn’t)
3 ways too many omega-6’s cause weight gain
The link between omega-3’s and mental health
Why what meat ate matters
And so much more!

We’ve all heard dietary saturated fat and cholesterol cause heart disease - but what you might not know - is that the evidence for this belief is not as foolproof as we’ve been led to believe.

Dr. Hussey provides invaluable insights given his clinical experience and admitted obsession with the heart, but also because he experienced a heart attack and the shortcomings of current systems and strategies personally in 2020.

This conversation was truly fascinating and I hope you walk away feeling as surprised and informed as I did. :) Here are some of my favorite takeaways:

The link between intense exercise and heart attacks
The best test for preventing heart attacks

Children born to moms with poorly controlled blood sugar during pregnancy have a 6-19x increased risk of diabetes or obesity.

One of the tools I’ve found most helpful for people during the holiday season is intermittent fasting (IF). IF is a powerful practice that requires you eat during certain windows of time and fast the rest of the time.

In other words, you don’t have to change what you eat - just when. And its benefits include…

Fat burning
Reduced heart disease risk
Improved memory
Reduced caloric intake

The best part? It’s free, flexible and simple and you can still reap the benefits even if you don’t eat perfectly.

(which is why it’s one of my favorite holiday tools!)

To learn all about IF and its beautiful benefits check out this week’s podcast with nurse practitioner and international speaker, Cynthia Thurlow. Here are some of the fascinating takeaways…

The benefits of intermittent fasting
Cynthia’s morning routine
How intermittent fasting affects hormones
How to reduce your risk of reproductive cancers
The morning drink that improves IF’s benefits
The supplements you can take while fasting
Fasting benefits for mental health
How to reduce cravings during fasting
Why fasting might be hard for you (and how to make it easier!)
How to fast with your cycle
When you should not fast
How much protein, fat and carbohydrates we should have each day
The trigger foods you may want to monitor
The hormone that makes you more insulin sensitive
Why alcohol can lead to weight gain
And much more!

The incidence of food reactions (allergies, intolerances, sensitivities) is on the rise.

But what many people don't know is that it is possible to heal certain types of food reactions.

(Celiac Disease and food allergies, being a notable exception:)

When my son was younger he reacted to several foods like wheat, corn, dairy and sometimes even chocolate.

And while the elimination diet did help us manage his symptoms - avoiding so many foods was stressful, especially as he started going to school.

Thankfully, my dear friend Steven Wright (engineer, gut expert and founder of Healthy Gut) helped me heal my son’s food sensitivities from the root.

Today, my son can essentially eat all foods except for those that contain gluten.

This change was so miraculous for our family, that I invited Steven on to the podcast this week so that he can teach you all how to heal food sensitivities from the root. Here are some of the fascinating tidbits we cover:

What causes food sensitivities?
The difference between food sensitivities and food allergies
3 little known reasons the incidence of food reaction is rising
Why PPIs can be dangerous
Why stomach acid is not the enemy
The most common food reactions
3 issues that underlie food sensitivities
The incredible importance of short chain fatty acid (and how to find them)
Why food elimination diets are not enough
The 4 steps for healing food reactions
The best supplements for healing food sensitivities
How to prevent food allergies and sensitivities in kids
And so much more!

Did you know that, as a woman, your cholesterol and blood sugar levels will be higher at certain times of your menstrual cycle?

Which can not only affect how you feel and what you should eat, but may also affect whether or not you’re prescribed medication.

Women are also stronger, smarter and calmer during certain periods of the cycle, and should eat more carbs and avoid fasting at other times.

Here are some of the fascinating takeaways:

Approximately 1 out of 3 women of reproductive age in America are suffering from a nutrient deficiency that can lead to fatigue, immune dysfunction, rapid aging and an increased risk of disease.

And while we’re often told a plant-based diet is the best diet for health - Dr. Beal, the guest of this week’s podcast and a global nutrition researcher, found that animal foods (organ meats specifically) are actually the richest sources of nutrients that most people are deficient in.

His research also found that refined grains, which most Americans consume copious amounts of, are the least nutrient dense.

Which is clearly one reason nutrient deficiencies are rampant even in developed countries.

Tune into this week’s podcast to learn:

✔︎ The nutrients many of us are deficient in
✔︎ The prevalence, consequences and causes of nutrient deficiency
✔︎ The most nutrient-dense foods in the world
✔︎ Why fortified nutrients are different than whole food versions
✔︎ The problems with most nutrient density rating systems (Food Compass)
✔︎ The dangers of vegan diets for kids

According to recent research, nearly 40% of older Americans are not getting enough protein.

Current protein recommendations also represent a minimum rather than an ideal protein intake and the highest quality sources of protein (animal products) are often demonized.

As a result, many of us are under-eating protein which can cause a number of deleterious symptoms such as cravings, overeating, weight gain and a loss of muscle mass.

Tune in to this week’s podcast with protein expert, Dr. Peter Ballerstedt, to learn all about the often-ignored nuance in the protein conversation and how you can leverage protein’s superpowers to optimize your health and feel your best.

Here are some of my favorite takeaways…

Why the “meat is harmful” message is dangerous
The problems with our current protein recommendations
How much protein you really need
Crude protein vs. true protein (and why it matters for your health!)
The health benefits of plant vs. animal proteins
Symptoms of protein deficiency
How to identify a high-quality protein
The link between amino acid deficiency and back pain
Why tracking protein by percentage of calories is a bad idea
Why processed food products contain less protein than the label says
The surprising world’s #1 source of protein
What taking your daily MEDS means to Dr. Ballerstedt

Increasing the amount of protein in my diet has been a game changer for me and many of my clients so please listen in and share this information with anyone you think may benefit.

In 2014 Dr. Gary Fettke, an orthopedic surgeon in Tasmania, was reported to the medical board for suggesting his diabetic patients reduce their sugar intake despite sound scientific evidence and clinical experience to support his recommendations.

He was the first doctor ever silenced from talking about nutrition.

We’ve all heard the misguided message that meat consumption is killing us, but what you might not know is that these beliefs originated from religion, rather than good science or historical evidence.

In fact, Dr. John Harvey Kellog originally created cereal as a meat alternative because he believed it would reduce sexual desires in kids.

Not to mention there has never been a truly vegan culture.

Which is why in this week’s podcast with researcher Belinda Fettke we delve into the surprising origins of our nation’s Dietary Guidelines and the war on meat.

Belinda’s husband, Dr. Gary Fettke, an orthopedic surgeon in Australia, was reported to the medical board in 2014 for recommending his diabetic patients reduce the sugar in their diet.

This attack prompted Belinda to dig into WHY the science on the benefits of low carbohydrate diets was being ignored.

What she found was that it wasn’t really about science at all.

Tune in now to learn all about the surprising origins of our war on meat and share this podcast with anyone you think needs to hear it!

Here are some of the fun facts you’ll learn about…

Why the first meat alternative was created
Why “plant-based” does not equal healthy
The role of religion in our nation’s dietary guidelines
Who was behind the attacks on Dr. Fettke
The flaws in the Eat Lancet report
The relationship between the Coke and religion
The vested interests in the “eat less exercise more” message

We’ve all heard about the controversy surrounding glyphosate, Roundup’s main ingredient.

In 2015 The International Agency for Research on Cancer concluded glyphosate may possibly cause cancer in humans.

Thousands of lawsuits have also been filed against Bayer, the maker of Roundup, and in 2018 a groundskeeper, diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, was awarded $289 million.

Yet, the EPA and FDA deem glyphosate safe, which is why it can still be found in our food and many paleo staples.

Thankfully, Dr. Stephanie Seneff Ph.D., a senior research scientist at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, author, and glyphosate expert is on this week’s podcast to cut through the controversy. We discuss the research regarding glyphosate’s safety, how glyphosate exerts its toxic effects, foods most often contaminated with glyphosate (I think this will surprise you!), and what we can do to help our body detoxify.

You do NOT want to miss this episode! Here are some of the other interesting tidbits we’ll cover…

Simples ways to detox glyphosate
The most common foods contaminated with glyphosate
The link between glyphosate, autism and neurodegenerative disease
How glyphosate affects gut microbes and immune health
How glyphosate affects mental health
How glyphosate affects sleep

A recent human trial demonstrated that eating wild meat (kangaroo) caused lower levels of post-meal inflammation than eating conventionally-raised beef.

In other words, how the animal was raised may have affected the level of inflammation in the body after eating it.

When people ate wild meat they had lower levels of inflammation and when they ate meat raised in confinement, they had higher levels of inflammation.

And while we don’t yet know exactly why this happened, Dr. Fred Provenza, acclaimed author, professor and researcher believes it may have a lot to do with underrated, yet powerful nutrients called secondary compounds.

In fact, though you don’t hear much about them, secondary compounds have been shown to…

Reduce inflammation
Provide antioxidant protection
Protect against cancer
Improve mood
Reduce the risk of diabetes
Help control appetite
And so much more!

Most importantly, the levels of secondary compounds change dramatically in meat depending upon what the animal ate and how it was raised.

Tune in to this week’s fascinating podcast with Dr. Provenza to learn about the little-known, yet important, differences in grass-fed and conventionally raised meats and what it means for your health. Here are some of my favorite takeaways…

The benefits of secondary compounds for human health
The nutritional difference between pastured meats and CAFO meat
The demonstrated changes in human health when you eat CAFO vs. pastured meat
The difference between plant-based burgers and grass-fed beef
The environmental issues with plant-based burgers
Why (and how) animals benefit environmental health
Simple ways to get more secondary compounds in our diet

Nourishment: What Animals Can Teach Us about Rediscovering Our Nutritional Wisdom

Over 99% of chicken in America is produced by two companies and raised in ways that can negatively impact human and environmental health.

The main problems with the conventional chicken industry
Free range vs. cage free vs. pasture-raised
The #1 cause of death worldwide (and how conventional chickens contribute!)
The 3 additives in the chicken industry you need to know about

Did you know that the most nutrient-dense foods in the world are not plants?

Despite what you may have heard, organ meats are gram-for-gram the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet.

Which is likely why, whenever I eat them, my energy levels go through the roof!

And given that most of us are deficient in at least one nutrient today (according to the USDA), organ meats are one of the most important things you can eat to ensure all of your nutrient bases are covered.

The only problem?

Most people are grossed out by the thought of eating organs or do not like the taste.

Thankfully, there are ways to benefit from organ meats even if you do not like the taste, which is what today’s fun podcast with author, speaker, health coach, and self-proclaimed muscle nerd, Ashleigh VanHouten is all about! Here’s what you’ll learn when you listen…

A 2010 study published in Plos One found that 5 of the 10 most violence-inducing drugs were antidepressants.

Alongside antidepressants, 6 sedatives/hypnotics and 3 medications for attentional issues were also associated with increased violence.

And while pharmaceutical therapies can work for certain individuals, they clearly cause (sometimes scary) side effects, do not work for everyone, and most importantly, do not address the root cause.

Tune in to this week’s fascinating podcast with Dr. Villanueva, Creator of the Healthy Body Restoration System and Balance your Brain Program, as we discuss the true causes of mental health issues, the limitations of conventional therapies and holistic strategies for better mental health. Here are some of the gems you’ll learn:

Several studies have shown a spike in anxiety, depression, and insomnia within the last year.

In fact, people are 3x more likely to have anxiety or depressive disorders (vs. 2019) and insomnia rates are up 37%.

And while many people turn to alcohol, drugs, or benzos to calm down, there’s an evidence-based, natural solution that comes with side benefits rather than scary side effects.

That solution is Tru Kava.

I learned about Tru Kava in March of last year, and have been using it to help me chill out and get more deep sleep ever since!

It works as an alcohol replacement and sleep tonic, AND it can also improve mental clarity.

Please note: if you search “kava” in google you will most likely find that kava causes liver issues, but please know that the kava that caused liver issues was made by a pharmaceutical company and is NOT the same as Tru Kava or the kava that has been used and revered for over 3000 years in places like Vanuatu.

It makes me so sad to think that people will miss out on the incredible benefits of this powerful plant because of this misunderstanding!

Tune in to this week’s podcast to learn all about the benefits of kava, the nuances in its production, and how to use it for best results with the founder of Tru Kava, Cameron George. Cameron's story of transformation made my hair stand on end and I hope you love this podcast as much as I did. Here are some of the highlights….

A morning tonic for better brain function

Many women today experience their menstrual cycle as a burden, rather than a superpower.

(I know because that used to be me.)

But the truth is, when we understand our cycle and the natural rhythm and hormonal shifts it creates, we can leverage those changes to accomplish some pretty amazing feats.

For example, there is a GREAT time of the month to eat more protein and build muscle.

There’s also an ideal time to be social and work for tips.

And there is a surprisingly perfect time to reflect and reevaluate.

When you don’t understand your cycle, these changes can seem overwhelming and unpredictable, but when you do, you can feel empowered and effective.

So if you’re ready to turn your cycle into a superpower check out this week’s podcast with the brilliant and beautiful, Dr. Stephanie Estima. Her knowledge is truly transformative.

So if you want to learn more about the best way to use melatonin to improve your health please tune into this week’s podcast with hormone expert and Director of Clinical Services at the Bastyr Center for Natural Health, Dr. Mona Fahoum!

This is exactly why I invited one of my favorite experts in the wellness world, the Whole30’s dietician, Stephanie Greunke, on the show to teach us all how to not only survive pregnancy and the postpartum period - but to THRIVE through it.

Here are some of the topics we dive into...

The most important nutrients for pregnancy
Medications that can deplete moms
How to prevent morning sickness (and why it happens!)
The link between nutrient deficiency, pregnancy, and mental health issues
Common nutrient deficiencies in paleo dieters

Foods to focus on for the second trimester
How many carbs do you really need for a healthy pregnancy?
The most important food for the third trimester
2 strategies for a healthy, happy postpartum period
The 3 key ingredients for a simple, healthy meal
How to lose the baby weight gracefully
How much weight to lose per week for sustainable weight loss
Her 6 favorite supplements to replete nutrient stores
The best forms of magnesium for digestion, brain health, and relaxation
The one food you’ll want to focus on before pregnancy

It’s no secret that poor sleep can cause irritability, decreased productivity and sugar cravings, but it may surprise you that according to sleep expert (and former Navy Seal) Dr. Kirk Parsley...

“Those who are chronically sleep deprived, those who work lifetime night shifts, chronic insomniacs and those who take sleeping pills chronically die (on average) 12 years earlier and have a higher risk of disease earlier in life.”

Why?

Because sleep is literally one of the most (if not THE most) important thing you can do for your health.

So if you’re not getting 7-9 hours of sleep each night (or you have kids who aren’t great sleepers) check out this week’s incredible podcast with Doc Parsley on the importance of sleep, and the simple things you can do to get more of it.

Jumping from diet to diet, pill to pill and/or protocol to protocol without relief can be exhausting.

It’s a cycle many people (maybe even you) are trapped in today.

But the truth is - in order to feel vibrant long term (which is your birthright), you need to identify the root cause(s) of YOUR suffering.

For example, breakouts can be caused by MANY things such as...

Food allergies/intolerances
Blood sugar/insulin imbalances
Nutrient deficiencies
Stress
Hormonal dysfunction
Gut issues
Poor hygiene
And more

My cystic breakouts were tied to a garlic intolerance (of all things) which is why all of the other remedies I tried for YEARS (candida cleanse, lotions, microdermabrasion, face creams, etc.) didn’t help.

And why the paleo diet wasn’t enough for me to heal my skin.

In other words, different people with the same symptom may need different interventions AND sometimes lab testing can be invaluable for identifying your root issues.

It was this realization that brought me to Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN). FDN is a training system that uses data-driven protocols and functional lab testing to help people identify the root cause (or causes) of their suffering.

It teaches people to identify their contributors to “metabolic chaos” AND how to systematically cultivate health.

I took this course nearly 2 years ago and it changed my life and the way I work with clients.

So if you’re someone who would love to learn what it takes to get to the root cause of your health issues OR someone who would love to learn how to take their wellness practice to the next level, please tune in to today’s podcast with the founder of FDN (and expert in functional lab testing), Reed Davis.

Here are a few of the gems you’ll learn about...

Why some of us get sick and others don’t
10 reasons people get “sicker quicker”
Why parasites and candida are not always the root issue
The most common types of gut bugs
The one belief I wish everyone had on their healing journey
What vitalism is - and why it’s so important
The difference between not having symptoms and health
The Wellness Meter (and why you should know about it!)
The benefits of gut bugs
One of the biggest contributors to gut issues
The difference between common and normal symptoms
Reed’s favorite recommendations for gut testing
The worst foods for gut health
Reed’s favorite food sensitivity test

Food quality is paramount, but it might surprise you to know WHEN you eat may be just as important. Why?

Today people are waking up to the fact that many diseases begin in the gut.

And while changing the foods we eat, the water we drink and taking supplements can make a world of difference for some people, it’s just not enough for everyone.

Which is why today I want to share the fascinating work of Dr. Jason Klop regarding a breakthrough gut-healing therapy called Fecal Microbiota Transplant, or FMT.

(And YES, it does involve what you think it does...)

Now FMT is clearly not for everyone, but recent research and clinical experience has shown it can be INCREDIBLY beneficial for certain populations like…

Autism
C. Difficile
IBS
SIBO
Crohn’s Disease
Neurological Conditions such as Parkinson’s

In fact, research out of Arizona State University revealed that those with autism who received FMT experienced an 80% reduction in digestive symptoms and a 40% reduction in autism-related symptoms like hyperactivity, sleep issues and cognition.

Pretty impressive, right?

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Tune in now to hear more about the incredible benefits of FMT and several other unique gut-healing strategies with Dr. Klop. Here are some of my favorite takeaways...

His 3 simple steps for better gut health
Why he doesn’t always avoid gluten

Many of us suffer from symptoms and mental health struggles we can’t explain.

We feel anxious.
We self-sabotage.
We experience depression.
We have illogical fears.
And despite our best efforts to lead a healthy lifestyle, something still feels “off.”

According to new research, this may be due to inherited family trauma.

In fact, recent research has revealed we can inherit trauma (just like we do our hair or eye color) that can cause measurable changes in our DNA for several generations.

Which means you may be feeling or behaving in a certain way, because your parents or grandparents experienced a traumatic event rather than because there is something wrong with YOU.

If this idea is as liberating and fascinating for you as it was for me, please tune in to this week’s podcast with award winning author of It Didn’t Start with You, Mark Wolynn!

We discuss the science behind inherited family trauma, how to identify it and (most importantly) what you can do today to overcome it.

The stories he shares will literally make your hair stand on end and I sincerely hope you love this conversation as much as I did.

It Didn't Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle

Anxiety. Resentment. Sadness. Overwhelm.

Feelings so many of us are experiencing right now.

And feelings that can negatively impact our health if left unaddressed.

Fortunately, there is a SIMPLE research-backed way to work through negative emotions and shift your body into relaxation mode in under 5 minutes.

It’s called tapping, or the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

EFT has been empirically shown to reduce cortisol (stress hormone) levels more than talk therapy AND reduce cravings for foods like chocolate.

So if you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, sad, and want to learn about a simple way to feel more relaxed anytime, anywhere, please check out today’s podcast with co-owner of The Tapping Solution, Alex Ortner.

Here are some of the things you’ll learn:

What is EFT?
How to consciously shift from the stress response to relaxation response (and why it matters)
How to access your full brain to make your best decisions
Why tapping can rewire the brain and reduce cravings
HOW to tap
A fun way to teach kids to tap
And so much more!

Learning to relax is one of the most important things we can do for our health! I hope this conversation inspires you to make it part of your daily routine...

By now you've likely heard that enzymes can improve digestion.

It may surprise you, though, to know that enzymes can support optimal health in MANY empirically documented ways.

Some support health beautifully, while others can actually detract from it.

Tune in to today's fascinating podcast with health engineer and creator of HealthyGut.com, Steven Wright, to learn about how to tell the difference.

You’ll also learn why enzymes are one of the most powerful and often overlooked health strategies, how to identify high quality versions and where to try some of my favorites on the market!

Dr. Masterjohn’s Guide

Most Americans today understand the state of our health is in trouble.

According to recent statistics, a whopping HALF of Americans (and 27% of kids) have a chronic disease and this will be the first generation of kids to live lives shorter than their parents.

And while our quality of life is clearly suffering, the other scary part is chronic disease will generate $47 trillion in healthcare by 2030 if the epidemic remains unchecked.

Which means, we won’t feel well AND our country will be overwhelmed by health care costs.

Clearly, we need a new direction. Thankfully, New York Times best-selling author (and one of the most influential people in health), Chris Kresser, has created a revolutionary approach that focuses on cultivating health rather than simply managing disease.

Most people today want to optimize brain function and feel calmer (or happier), reduce brain fog, or experience more stable moods.

(Or maybe you’re like me and you just never want to forget where your keys are again! :)

Fortunately, there is a healthy body of research demonstrating that what we eat - directly impacts the way our brain functions, develops and recovers.

In fact, today’s podcast guest, best-selling author, clinical professor and functional medicine superstar, Dr. Terry Wahls, used food (and strategic supplements) to heal her brain and reverse the Multiple Sclerosis that once confined her to a tile-recline wheelchair chair.

Talk about incredible.

She is also conducting clinical trials demonstrating that her Wahls Protocol IS just as powerful and life changing as we want to believe it is. And that it’s not just for people with M.S. but for people who want to reverse other autoimmune conditions or simply improve the way their brain functions.

So if you want to build a better brain (and who doesn’t, right?) - drop what you’re doing and tune in NOW!

Dr. Wahls is one of the most impressive people I’ve ever had the pleasure of interviewing and I know you’ll be blown away by what she has to say. Here’s what you’ll learn...

Why she only eats one meal a day
What she believes caused her autoimmune issues
Her thoughts on the carnivore diet
The food that causes incapacitating face pain for her within 6 hours
The best foods for a health brain
The 3 most problematic foods for people with autoimmune conditions
The surprising tweak she makes for paleo dieters
Why organ meats are integral to her protocol
Why greens are powerful medicine for the brain
The best veggies for keeping your brain young
The little known vitamin that your brain needs more of
The food she eats whenever she travels
Why bone broth is helpful for the mTOR pathway
The food colors that build brain health
What people with both genes for Alzheimer’s (like me) think of her protocol
Why long term ketosis can negatively impact health
What her research is demonstrating (this is AMAZING!)

Most people today want to optimize brain function and feel calmer (or happier), reduce brain fog, or experience more stable moods.

(Or maybe you’re like me and you just never want to forget where your keys are again! :)

Fortunately, there is a healthy body of research demonstrating that what we eat - directly impacts the way our brain functions, develops and recovers.

In fact, today’s podcast guest, best-selling author, clinical professor and functional medicine superstar, Dr. Terry Wahls, used food (and strategic supplements) to heal her brain and reverse the Multiple Sclerosis that once confined her to a tile-recline wheelchair chair.

Talk about incredible.

She is also conducting clinical trials demonstrating that her Wahls Protocol IS just as powerful and life changing as we want to believe it is. And that it’s not just for people with M.S. but for people who want to reverse other autoimmune conditions or simply improve the way their brain functions.

So if you want to build a better brain (and who doesn’t, right?) - drop what you’re doing and tune in NOW!

Dr. Wahls is one of the most impressive people I’ve ever had the pleasure of interviewing and I know you’ll be blown away by what she has to say. Here’s what you’ll learn...

Why she only eats one meal a day
What she believes caused her autoimmune issues
Her thoughts on the carnivore diet
The food that causes incapacitating face pain for her within 6 hours
The best foods for a health brain
The 3 most problematic foods for people with autoimmune conditions
The surprising tweak she makes for paleo dieters
Why organ meats are integral to her protocol
Why greens are powerful medicine for the brain
The best veggies for keeping your brain young
The little known vitamin that your brain needs more of
The food she eats whenever she travels
Why bone broth is helpful for the mTOR pathway
The food colors that build brain health
What people with both genes for Alzheimer’s (like me) think of her protocol
Why long term ketosis can negatively impact health
What her research is demonstrating (this is AMAZING!)

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) emitted from cell phones, computers, wifi routers and other gadgets that surround us are everywhere in this day and age, which leads many people to believe they’re safe.

Sadly, there is excellent evidence suggesting EMFs are not as safe as we’d like to think they are. In fact, EMFs are empirically linked to conditions like:

Asthma
Autism
Cancer (brain, breast & leukemia)
Erectile dysfunction
Miscarriage
Liver damage

And our children are the most vulnerable population.

Fortunately, there are many simple ways to reduce your exposure and protect yourself, and we talk all about them in today’s incredible podcast with EMF expert, Daniel DeBaun.

A N X I E T Y is the most common mental illness in America, affecting over 40 million adults.

And, frankly, the topic isn't addressed nearly enough.

Nor is the simple fact that there's a lot we can do to calm anxiety NATURALLY. ⁣⁣

Due to my personal history with anxiety, I have spent countless hours researching the topic . And in my work with clients, I’ve noticed that almost all of them express feeling anxious from time to time.

And even though it will never be possible (or practical) to eliminate all anxiety, in today’s episode I team up with anxiety expert, Hannah Hepworth (creator of the Anxiety Revolution Summit), and we cover 5 empowering tips for cultivating CALM.

Getting my anxiety under control has been a game changer for me, and I sincerely hope this episode is helpful for you! Be sure to share this with anyone and everyone you know who may benefit!

The incidence of anxiety, Alzheimer’s, depression and other brain-based issues are rising at alarming rates.

And for some people, conventional treatments either don’t work - or come with side effects.

Which is why this week’s Weekend Wellness is devoted to the 8 best natural brain hacks I’ve discovered in 2019.

As someone with a history of mood issues and both genes for Alzheimer’s, I spend a LOT to time researching novel ways to keep my brain healthy.

So, if you feel anxious...depressed....unmotivated...can’t remember where you put your keys...or just want to feel happier, please take a few minutes to benefit from the tips and tricks I’ve been using with awesome results.

Most people understand that hormonal birth control can increase the risk of blood clots and breast cancer, but what most people aren’t told is that its use has also been linked to…

An increased risk of suicide...
A 330% increased risk of Crohn's Disease…
And maybe even an increased risk of Alzheimer’s.

Scary, right? The last time I took it, I felt SO anxious, I had to stop after only a few days. When I called my doctor to tell her what happened she said...

“That would definitely NOT have anything to do with birth control - call a psychiatrist and get some help.”

Turns out - she was wrong. Birth control DOES cause unwanted side effects for many women.

In fact, recent research and the clinical experience of this week’s BRILLIANT podcast guest, Dr. Jolene Brighten (author of the best-selling book, Beyond the Pill), has shown that birth control comes with a litany of side effects we’re just beginning to understand.

So if you’re taking birth control, if you’re thinking of taking it, or if you’re wondering what you can do instead to support healthy hormonal balance, do yourself a favor and tune into this week’s awesome podcast. Here’s what we cover...

When fasting is NOT a good idea for women
The digestive benefits of fasting
The best time in your cycle to fast
Great foods to break a fast
A simple sign you have blood sugar issues
The link between Alzheimer’s are birth control
The hormone that makes you tired and hungry (and why that’s ok!)
What Post Birth Control Syndrome is and why you need to know about it
Where birth control exerts its main effects (This will surprise you!)
The 3 prescription medications that often follow the use of birth control
The link between suicide attemps and birth control
The autoimmune disease that birth control increases the risk of by 300%
Why birth control can increase suicidal attempts in teens
Why synthetic progestin and progesterone are NOT the same thing
How hormones affect our mood
The link between “bad” cholesterol and birth control
Why those with the MTHFR mutation should be weary of birth control
The 3 tests you will definitely want to have before taking birth control
The type of birth control that everyone should avoid

The best 3 steps you can take to heal your hormones

Beyond the Pill by Dr. Jolene Brighten

Free E-Book: Dr. Brighten's Post-Birth Control Syndrome Detox Diet Quick Start Guide

Many Americans have been told to avoid dietary cholesterol at one time or another.

One of the unfortunate consequences of following this advice, is that many Americans also unintentionally eliminated the richest dietary sources of vitamin A - liver, eggs and cream. Given that we REQUIRE vitamin A (especially the retinol form found in animal products) for things like

Eye health
Immune function
Healthy reproduction
Clear skin
Energy production
Thyroid Health
Autophagy

According to this week’s podcast guest, creator of the Root Cause Protocol, Morely Robbins, this avoidance of vitamin A rich foods,

“ is one of the most devastating events in our nutritional history.”

So if you’re getting sick more often than you’d like, suffer from skin issues, or feel tired all the time, drop what you’re doing and learn all about what most people (even experts) have gotten wrong about this critical nutrient and what you can do to optimize your intake!

Here are some of the surprising topics we cover…

Why paying attention to our mineral status is underrated
The downside of using most vitamin C supplements
Why copper is one of the most important minerals for vibrant health
Why there are iron filings in the American food supply
The difference between organic and inorganic iron
The role of copper in diabetes prevention
The truth about copper toxicity (and a little-known common cause)
The difference between retinol and beta carotene
How to accurately measure your iron status (we’re not talking about ferritin, either!)
Why taking vitamin D in isolation is dangerous (and may cause kidney stones)
The true cause of anemia (that almost no doctor talks about)
The food we KNOW has healed anemia since 1934
The 2 nutrients (other than iron) that are necessary to heal anemia
Why vitamin A deficiency can make fasting LESS beneficial
Whether or not he thinks a vegetarian diet can be nutritionally adequate
Why many people cannot convert beta carotene into retinol
The best dietary sources of bioavailable copper
Why whole food vitamin C (but not ascorbic acid) can improve copper status

2 often-overlooked (yet critical) nutrients for thyroid health

According to a 2018 Cigna survey HALF of Americans feel alone, isolated or left out at least some of the time.

Even more disturbing is the fact that, recent research has revealed social stress is a more powerful predictor of mortality than…

Physical inactivity
Having 6 drinks a day
Smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

Which is why this week’s podcast is all about the power of community, the detriments of loneliness and the incredible power of functional medicine with best selling author and founder of the Functional Forum, James Maskell.

Here are some of the fascinating topics we cover...

How functional medicine differs than other types of medicine
How we know functional medicine is more effective
The 3 underlying principles of functional medicine
Why loneliness is the BIGGEST driver of poor health outcomes
How to improve your social ties and build community
How to leverage the power of community on your health journey
Why it takes 17 years for research to influence medical policy
How to find practitioners using functional medicine and community
How he feels about growing up in a commune
His New Year’s Resolution
And so much more!

Many of us have set New Year’s resolutions to eat better and workout more in the New Year, but what I hope this podcast inspires you to do is also make finding community a priority, too.

To celebrate the first Weekend Wellness Episode of the year today’s podcast is going to be a little different - at the end of every podcast I’ve been asking the same “famous last question” that has resulted in SO many wonderful, impactful pieces of advice from hundreds of doctors, functional medicine practitioners and other health and wellness experts, that I wanted to bring them all together and share some of my favorite answers in one awesome episode to serve as inspiration for you in the new year…SO I chose my 10 favorite answers for the first round that I thought you’d benefit from most!

Many of the personal care products on the market today are FILLED with toxic chemicals linked to detrimental health outcomes.

And while we’d like to believe the FDA will protect us from these dangerous ingredients, it actually has FAR less oversight and power than we’d like to believe.

Which is why it's absolutely vital we educate ourselves and support companies making truly non-toxic products.

The only problem?

Many of the “clean” products on the market simply don’t work.

Most of the hair care products I’ve used, for example, leave my hair dry and dull.

Fortunately, that’s all about to change because one of the most influential people in health and wellness, The Wellness Mama, joins us today to talk all things fasting, toxins, non-toxic personal care products.

She’s spent the last decade researching and perfecting products that not only eliminate toxic chemicals, but that also add nourishing ingredients.

So if you’re ready to ditch the toxins (and dull, dry hair) and upgrade your personal care routine, tune in NOW!

We cover these fascinating topics:

The ingredient found in “natural” toothpaste that can harm your teeth
The ingredient that can actually HEAL certain cavities
The herb that makes your hair to grow stronger and longer
The vitamin that can cure acne
The 3 healthy habits Katie does daily
The health hack Katie wishes she used more
The benefits of cold water therapy and sauna (and when to use them!)
How to curb cravings during a fast
Body image issues (and how to break through them)

This was one of the most inspiring podcasts I’ve recorded to date, which is why I couldn’t wait to share it as we start the new year.

I hope you love it as much as I did.

Happy New Year, Wellness Warriors!

According to the USDA, 95% of Americans are deficient in at least one nutrient.

Even more shocking is that In order to get the vitamin A content from one orange our grandparents ate, we’d need to consume 8 today.

Why is this happening?

One of the major reasons is our soil (and therefore the food we grow in our soil) is nutrient DEPLETED. The situation is so dire, in fact, that according to the FAO we only have 60 years of topsoil left.

This is a BIG problem with many devastating consequences.

Sadly, most people don’t fully understand why healthy soil is important or how to support food producers that regenerate our soil and planet.

(No judgies - I used to be one of them!)

Which is why this week’s podcast with Finian Makepeace, soil specialist and co-founder of Kiss the Ground, is devoted to breaking down the many detrimental outcomes of degraded soils AND the simple dietary steps we can take to restore nutrient density and environmental health.

Because every time we eat - we vote for SOMETHING.

Whether it’s:

CAFOs (confined animal feeding operations)
GMOs
Pesticides
Monocultures
Organic/biodynamic produce
Regenerative agriculture

Each of our choices has an impact.

So if you’re ready to wield the power of your fork for GOOD and become a truly conscious consumer and soil advocate tune in now!

Here are some of the enlightening topics we dig into:

Why sustainable is not enough
Why not all grass fed beef restores the environment
Why cows can be GOOD for the environment
Why too much carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is dangerous
The crazy cool way plants store carbon
The amount of insects killed by agricultural chemicals
Why pesticides are like antibiotics
Why the health of our soil can make or break our health
The 4 ways conventional agriculture destroys our environment
The 4 questions you should ask your farmer
The surprising fact experts didn’t understand about soil health until recently
Why monocultures (even organic carrots) are bad for the environment
Why CAFOs are not the answer
The 5 HUGE environmental problems healthy soil can fix
The 2 important steps we can take as consumers
How you can become a soil advocate
And so much more!

Listen in, choose wisely and let’s heal our soil and planet together!

Show Notes:

Today, 40 million people suffer from anxiety in America. Alzheimer’s affects over 5 million and depression is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide.

Even more disheartening, is the fact that many people suffering from these brain-based conditions don’t have treatment options that work for them.

Because I have both genes for Alzheimer’s and a history of anxiety, I’m obsessed with finding new research-based strategies to keep my brain sharp, calm, and focused.

Which is why I was thrilled to interview Steve Wright (author of Maverick Healing and founder of HealthyGut.com) and learn about his favorite (and little known) brain and gut hacks of 2019!

Steve has always been a hero of mine (I used to watch him co-host on Chris Kresser’s podcast) and his story and knowledge of the latest brain health research will surprise and inspire you!

Since I was a teen, I’ve struggled with mental health issues that no doctor (or psychiatrist) knew how to treat.

It wasn’t until I adopted the paleo diet and suddenly felt calmer, clearer and happier than I had in YEARS, that I understood the food I was eating was affecting my emotions.

A few weeks ago as a new pet owner, I took my new puppy Charlie to the vet and inquired about the perfect diet for my new puppy.

“Almost all vets feed their pups Purina and other kibble,” my vet said.

“What about raw dog food? That’s what we’ve been giving her?” I replied.

Well, raw dog food can contain bacteria that can be an issue.” said the vet.

And so we switched to a high quality kibble.

Within just a few days we noticed a profound difference in our Charlie girl.

She was tired.
She was whining.
She wanted to go outside 6 times an hour to go to the bathroom.

She just wasn’t herself.

So to get to the bottom of whether or not raw dog food really was dangerous or beneficial, asked the founder of Raw Dog Food, DeDe Murcer Moffett, to break it down for us.

Turns out, there is TONS of controversy when it comes to how to nourish our puppies and I think you’ll be surprised (and definitely entertained) by what she has to say.

Here are some of the awesome topics we cover:

Why puppies began eating kibble (this will surprise you!)
Why it is clear that dogs eat meat
The one macronutrient that most dogs DON’T need (but most dog food is made from!)
Why many vets recommend kibble
The amino acid that dogs need to thrive
Whether or not we need to be worried about bacteria on a raw food diet
Why mixing raw and kibble is not a great idea (whoops!)
How to find a truly holistic vet
How DeDe knows her pups diet is supporting her gut health
How to test your puppy’s microbiome
The famous study that shows us exactly what our pets need to thrive
How to find high quality, properly sourced raw food
Why organic isn’t always the best way to go
How to cut your raw dog food costs dramatically
How to get your vet on board with raw dog food
Dogs that should not consume raw dog food

Fasting is easily one of the most powerful dietary strategies we have today.

Research has shown it can improve weight loss, detoxification, brain function, and promote longevity. It’s also been shown to decrease side effects of chemotherapy, reduce the risk of cancer in animal models, and I’ve even noticed it improves my mood dramatically.

BUT, there are many things you need to know before you jump in if you want to succeed.

The longest fast on record, for example, was 382 days completed by a Scottich man named Angus Barbieri. He lived on soda, vitamins, water, and coffee and lost 276 pounds.

Obviously, that is not where you begin.

(He was monitored by his doctors the whole time - do NOT try this at home!)

In this podcast, you'll learn how you can still eat everyday and reap the benefits with the advanced (yet practical) strategies from best selling author, Siim Land.

Here are some of the gems you’re in for...

The many benefits of fasting
How you can lose fat without eating less
How to age more gracefully
How to trigger more autophagy
How to know when to stop fasting
The best type of coffee to consume while fasting
A perfect beverage to kick autophagy into overdrive
The difference between time restricted eating and fasting
What you need to take on 3-5 day fasts
Why he’s not a fan of long term fasts
The perfect food to break a fast
The best time to fast during the day
Strategies for improved sleep
Where to begin!
And so much more.

Teraswhey, Protein Pumpkin Seed Plain Unsweet Organic, 14.8 Ounce

I used to do ANYTHING to get my son to stop crying.

Funny faces.
Bouncing.
Singing.
Tap dancing.

At times I felt like a one-woman circus.

It wasn’t until I heard an interview with Katie Crosby, an occupational therapist specializing in emotional regulation, that I realized my role went beyond making him feel happy in the moment.

For long term emotional and physical health, I needed to help him understand, express and integrate his emotions in a healthy way.

A skill many of us never learn today, but desperately need!

Which is why I have been dying to share Katie’s 6 Step Process for Emotional Resilience!

This process has not only transformed the way I help my son manage his big feelings, but it has been key in helping me regulate my own emotions, too!

(Step #2 has also helped my husband and I fight far more peacefully!:))

So tune in now and learn about Katie’s simple 6 steps!I sincerely hope it’s as helpful for your family as it has been for ours.

And if it is, take a second to share this important information with anyone you know and love. <3

A few weeks ago on Instagram I made a lot of our followers angry.

I posted about a program called The Adrenal Recode designed for people suffering from HPA axis (adrenal) issues or nervous system balance that can sometimes be experienced by keto dieters.

Many of our keto followers were offended by the suggestion that keto is “dangerous,” but as you’ll learn in today’s INCREDIBLE podcast with clinical nutritionist Christa Orecchio and keto expert, Leanne Vogel of Healthful Pursuit, some people just don’t do well with keto.

Now I’ll be the first to admit, I LOVE the keto diet.

It’s worked well for me (I cycle in an out a few times each year) and the benefits for those who want to lose weight, reduce cravings and maybe even prevent or reverse diseases like epilepsy, certain cancers, mental health issues and maybe even Alzheimer’s and cancer are undeniable.

BUT, that doesn’t mean it’s for everyone, all the time.

So if you want to learn…

Whether keto would be beneficial for you
The one mistake many women make when trying keto
How to tell when keto is not working (without expensive testing)
The one thing you MUST do to maintain health long term
The population that seems particularly vulnerable to nervous system imbalance
How to know you should stop listening to a “nutrition expert”
And how to strategically re-introduce whole food carbohydrates into your diet without weight gain and fatigue, THIS is the show for you.

It is easily one of my favorite podcasts ever and I know you will feel empowered by what these two wonderful and knowledgeable women have to share.

Don’t forget to share this podcast or tag a friend who may need a little keto clarity.

Much like processed junk food, there are SO many JUNK skin care products on the market.

Ones that promise fewer breakouts, softer, wrinkle-free skin and a radiant glow, but are filled with so many chemicals that they make things worse.

Believe me, I used to have the worst skin. I spent my twenties trying product after product.

The good news? I’ve found a few skincare tricks and tips (as well as products) that have helped me get the kind of skin I’ve always wanted. So in today’s podcast, we’re talking all things skin with the COO of one of my all-time favorite organic, natural skin care companies, Annemarie Skin Care. Here are some of the enlightening tidbits you’re in for:

2 Ingredients you NEED to avoid in skin care products
Why certain oils are great for you skin (and others are a big no-no!)
How to identify your skin type
What greenwashing is, and how to avoid it
The link between low stomach acid and acne (and how to improve stomach acid levels)
Foods that nourish the skin
What an anti-aging skin care routine looks like
How to get some awesome skin care for FREE (just pay the cost of shipping)
How to revitalize your facial muscles while working!

I hope you love this short and sweet episode as much as I did.

There was a time I struggled to get out of bed in the morning. I had lingering thyroid issues I couldn’t seem to fix and I felt like I had hit a wall HARD with my keto diet.

I didn’t know it then, but I desperately needed an adrenal recode.

What is an adrenal recode, you ask?

It’s an amazing system my friend Christa Orecchio, founder of the Whole Journey, created to banish unrelenting fatigue and heal the thyroid, adrenals and nervous system for good.

Not enough people talk about it, but adrenal and thyroid issues go hand-in-hand and until your nervous system is balanced, long term vibrant health will elude you.

So tune in today to find out what you can do to find balance and thrive for GOOD.

And, as always, please share this info with anyone you know who is stressed or fighting fatigue daily.

There IS a better way.

Many prescription medications deplete key nutrients. Birth control, for example, can deplete nutrients like vitamin B9, vitamin C, zinc and magnesium.

Which scares me because if a woman stops taking birth control and gets pregnant right away, she could still be depleted in nutrients (like B9) required for fetal development because of the birth control she was taking.

The side effects of common meds can also be the result of this nutrient depletion.

If you’ve ever felt anxious or moody on birth control (like I did) it might be because about 80% of women taking birth control pills experience altered tryptophan metabolism.

Which is why I could not wait to share a line of products created by my brilliant friend Sarah Morgan, that address the nutrient deficiencies associated with common medications.

Cravings. Overeating. Excess weight.

Three things many people experience that can stand in the way of the vibrant health they deserve. And sadly, many times even the best of intentions (coupled with conventional strategies) are not enough for lasting change.

But what if I told you that even if you’ve tried EVERYTHING, there is still a system that could be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.

And that it involves eating ice cream (or whatever food you crave most), overeating and zero exercise (at least at first).

You’d probably think I was CRAZY, but you’d be wrong because best selling author (and personal friend), David Zappasodi, has worked with hundreds of people using this cutting-edge approach and the results speak for themselves.

People who couldn’t stop eating ice cream, don’t even think about it anymore. People who couldn’t stop overeating, eat ½ of what they used to in a typical day and feel satisfied. And people who simply couldn’t lose weight, lose it steadily and keep it off.

So if you’re ready to learn what it takes to free yourself from unhealthy cravings, overeating and stalled weight loss for good, tune in now!

I promise, this is nothing you’ve ever heard before and it might be just what you need to change your life. <3

I was shocked when I learned over 90% of the vitamin C on the market today is NOT true vitamin C, but a synthetic form called ascorbic acid.

And that most of the time, ascorbic acid is derived from GMO corn in China and processed using volatile acids.

How do you know the difference between real vitamin C and the synthetic kind?

All you have to do is check the ingredient label on your vitamin C supplement. If it says “ascorbic acid” you’re definitely going to want to learn the important differences from the founder of the Root Cause Protocol, Morely Robbins in this podcast!

Ascorbic acid is NOT the same as vitamin C.

There are important differences that you need to know about!

So listen in and share this podcast so we can spread the good word!

P.S. Don’t let the big words at the beginning of the podcast scare you, it’s critically important to understand the nuances and we get to the suuuper practical take-home message at the end. You’re not going to want to miss it! <3
