Super Woman Wellness by Dr. Taz: Recent Episodes
Dr. Taz | Soulfire Productions
Super Woman Wellness: Combining conventional mainstream medicine, Chinese and functional medicine, Ayurveda, nutrition, herbal therapies, fitness, and homeopathy to empower women to restore their health and well-being and embrace their purpose and gifts.
This special BONUS EPISODE, entitled Stronger Together, is the epilogue to our special nine-part series. It’s a closing conversation where our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia welcomed Womaness co-founders, Sally Mueller and Michelle Jacobs, to explore the importance of community and connection in midlife, their thoughts + reflections on the series overall and why they were so passionate about supporting it.
The conversation touches on how Womaness, a brand built for women by women, fosters community and trust, including a private Facebook Group called The After Party where over 9,000 women connect + share their insights and experiences about midlife. We also discuss the complex paradigm of women supporting women and why that sometimes feels difficult - both in life and in business.
We also take a valuable look back on the series, leaving listeners with valuable insights from key episodes and share more on what’s ahead for The Midlife Truth Project.
About Our Guests:
Sally Mueller and Michelle Jacobs met over 20 years ago. They became good friends early in their careers, creative collaborators, and honest sounding boards for each other. During a catchup a few years ago, Sally shared she’d been experiencing a variety of symptoms—aches and pains, vaginal dryness, and dry skin—and was surprised to learn that these were all related to menopause. After reaching out to friends and colleagues, they realized that this scenario was all too common. There was no clear education, support, or modern products for this time in a woman’s life.
So they did something about it. Leveraging their combined skills and experiences, they created Womaness, the leading women’s wellness brand, to modernize aging for women and to help them navigate their changing bodies with innovative products and solutions, essential information, and unlimited inspiration.

This is episode (9) of our special nine-part series entitled Connect The Dots. Our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia welcome serial entrepreneur, visionary and dedicated philanthropist Sara Blakely. As the founder of Spanx, a now billion-dollar global brand that revolutionized women’s apparel and, more recently, Sneex, the world’s first high-heel sneaker, Sara shares her midlife journey as a time of transformation and growth. She highlights the importance of mindset, intuition, and carving out moments for self-connection, all of which have guided her major decisions in life, including selling Spanx. She also gives valuable advice + insight on how to embrace fear and stay connected to one's "why" - especially in midlife.
Here are some key themes + takeaways …
- Midlife as a "Chrysalis": Rather than seeing midlife as a crisis, Sara sees it as a transformative period of shedding, growth and inner reflection, where ego-driven motivations give way to purpose-driven ones driven more by spirit.
- The Power of Visualization: Sara shares her approach on visualization where she focuses on creating mental space for her mind to wander, daydream and allowing ideas to surface naturally.
- Connecting with Intuition: From an early age, Sara explains how she learned to connect with herself, embrace intuition and manifest what she wants. She talks openly about her ongoing process of becoming intentional and clear about key decisions as well as asking the universe for specific signs to guide her.
- Overcoming Fear: “The only way to overcome your fear, is to do it,” Sara says, explaining that continues to be committed to saying YES to challenging situations that could be embarrassing. Embarrassing situations become funny, vulnerable stories, she explains, and these experiences make us more resilient and allow us to embrace our imperfections.
- Struggling with Perimenopause: Sara opens up about her own vulnerable experience and confusion dealing with perimenopause including extreme hormone fluctuations, sleep struggles, massive weight fluctuations and severe emotional lows.
- Philanthropy and Purpose-Driven Work: Passionately dedicated to empowering women, she talks about her personal, and at times playful, approach to philanthropy, including lending out her wedding dress to women during COVID, creating a "wedding dress sisterhood."
About Our Guest, Sara Blakely
Sara Blakely is a serial entrepreneur and the visionary founder of Spanx, a brand that revolutionized women’s shapewear by turning her personal frustration with traditional hosiery into an innovative solution. Beyond her business, Blakely is committed to empowering women globally through her Sara Blakely Foundation, and became the first female billionaire to join the Giving Pledge, promising to donate at least half her wealth to charity. Today, she continues to inspire as an investor on Shark Tank, a frequent speaker, and a champion for women achieving their dreams, all while aiming to create the world’s most comfortable high-heel shoe, Sneex.

This is episode (8) of our special nine-part series entitled It’s Not Too Late. Our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia, welcome Gabby Reece - volleyball legend, inspirational health and fitness leader, podcast host, corporate speaker, New York Times bestselling author, wife, and mother. In this conversation, Gabby shares her own personal experience navigating midlife and her perspective and advice on fostering a positive mindset, prioritizing self-care + the power of taking personal inventory. Together we discuss why it’s "never too late" for anything; new pursuits, fitness, relationships and instead how to lean into curiosity and play with flexibility and grace.
Here are some key themes + takeaways …
- Midlife + Adolescence: similar to adolescence, we can either buy into what society tells us that we should be thinking and feeling in midlife, or we can avoid the noise and take charge of what we can control.
- We’re not invisible, it’s simply nature: at the end of the day, humans are animals. As we reach midlife, we’re not emitting signals to make people look at us, because we’re NOT having babies anymore. That doesn’t mean we’re invisible. Midlife is nature’s way of freeing us up, so we can move on and add value in different ways.
- Preserve your inner ‘girl’: as we age, remember to have fun, not just on Saturday nights but also on everyday afternoons. Lety’s “sharpen the blade of being ‘naughty’ and be more playful, have more levity and take ourselves less seriously.
- The distinction between curiosity and searching: recognize that the answer is not “out there” for us to search for, it’s ‘within’ us. Ultimately there really aren’t any ‘answers’ anyway. Curiosity is about waking up everyday with your beliefs but being willing to question them, listen to other ideas and learn new concepts.
- As long as you’re ALIVE, be ALIVE: don’t fall into the trap of ‘you’re either young or old’. Instead, lean into the fact that you’re either ALIVE or DEAD, and as long as you’re alive, BE ALIVE. We’re all here to connect and contribute something for as long as we’re alive.
- Life is school: we’re learning - let go of all the expectations and live.
- All you need is 90 days: Create a plan for movement + nutrition. There is nothing more painful than not moving. You can change anything if you give it 90 days

This is episode (7) of our special nine-part series entitled Plan Ahead. Our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia, welcome Jean Chatzky - CEO and Founder of HerMoney, journalist, author, and former financial editor of NBC’s Today Show. The conversation addresses both the practical and emotional aspects of financial planning, especially for women in their 40s and 50s. Chatzky shares insights into why financial planning is inherently challenging, particularly due to human behavioral tendencies, and emphasizes the importance of understanding personal "money types" to overcome financial roadblocks.
Here are some of the themes we discuss …
- What ‘planning ahead’ means in our 40s + 50s: Jean offers perspective on why we’re not necessarily wired to plan ahead ahead, how planning ahead has evolved, and what we should be thinking about today.
- Emotional and Behavioral Aspects of Money Management The episode underscores that money management isn’t just numbers—it’s tied deeply to emotions and behaviors, and understanding this connection can help individuals make better, less reactive financial decisions.
- Understanding Personal “Money Types” She explains that one of the first steps to planning ahead is to better understand your relationship with money and finances. Jean recommends taking a money personality quiz (see link below) to provide insight on why you are the way you are, and, if you’re in a relationship, how your partner is wired too.
- Building an Emergency Fund Jean highlights the importance of a dedicated emergency fund (aka the “oh shit” fund) for life’s unexpected expenses, including tips on how much we should have saved for unforeseen circumstances.
- Empowering Women in Financial Decision Making The conversation explores how many women in midlife feel unprepared to handle or even talk about personal finances, the need to insert oneself in financial conversations, and advice on how to take a more active role in managing day-to-day finances.
- Setting Realistic Financial Goals Jean offers valuable benchmarks for savings and retirement, insight on how to talk more openly with your partner/spouse about your future goals, and broader perspective on how to avoid FOMO relative to what one can and can’t afford.
About Our Guest, Jean Chatzky
Jean Chatzky, CEO and co-founder of HerMoney is the former financial editor of NBC’s Today Show, a coach on the PBS show Opportunity Knocks, a New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author, the financial ambassador for AARP and the host of the HerMoney podcast. Through decades of reporting on personal finance, she learned that a) the jargon-filled speak of the financial industry was created (largely by men) to sell you stuff you don’t need, and b) if you eliminate the jargon there is absolutely no rocket science to money. She knows that a full, successful financial life is within every woman’s grasp — and with the HerMoney team, she’s on a mission to help you get it.

This is episode (6) of our special nine-part series entitled Friendship Matters. Our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia, welcome Paige Nolan - life coach, writer and podcast host of I’ll Meet You There. This episode explores the importance of meaningful connection as we age, as well as the sometimes painful reality of needing to take inventory of our friendships and the mutual work that’s required. We’ll also delve into what happens when things get bumpy in a friendship, how to have uncomfortable conversations, and the idea of opening yourself up to new friendships in this new season of our lives.
Here are some of the themes we discuss …
- How friendship evolves as we age. Howour lives shift raising children, changing jobs, or with a move, or divorce, leaving some suddenly feeling more disconnected or lonely.
- Midlife as an opportunity to become more intentional about who + how we spend our time. The power of taking inventory of our relationships, nurturing those that are more meaningful to us while allowing more space for those less fulfilling.
- Friendship is like a garden: There are oak trees (deeply rooted friends), flowers (beautiful, meaningful connections with sometimes shorter seasons), and weeds (yes, weeds, those relationships that no longer serve us + need pruning).
- The importance of vulnerability + time: True intimacy in friendship requires showing up, being present and vulnerable as well as daring to have "hard conversations" that cultivate even stronger bonds. Ultimately, we have to take responsibility for the relationships and experiences we want.
- Lead with love: In difficult situations, remind yourself, it’s not you against them, it’s the two of you against the distance you both feel.
- It’s never too late to forge new relationships or deepen existing ones. Lean into common hobbies or community groups, be curious and interested (and don’t underestimate the power of Pickleball!)
Added bonus - Paige shares her thoughts about life coaching vs therapy, her approach, what to look for, and who may benefit from this work.

This is episode (5) of our special nine-part series entitled Sex is Complicated. Our hosts Julie Flakstad & Dr. Taz Bhatia, welcome celebrated urologist, author, and podcast host, Dr. Kelly Casperon to unravel why sex + intimacy becomes more nuanced as we age. Kelly’s direct and approachable style provides valuable perspective and much needed advice on all things adult sex-ed. In this episode, Kelly breaks down:
- Why sex + intimacy is nuanced + layered as we transition into midlife
- What's happening physically + emotionally and how to navigate it both in and out of the bedroom
- Advice + perspective on how to take charge of your sexual wellness including the importance of vaginal estrogen, knowing your anatomy, and how to talk more openly with your partner and/or spouse
- The importance of rethinking sex + intimacy as ‘PLAY’
About Our Guest, Kelly Casperson MD.
Dr. Casperson is a board-certified practicing urologist interested in the power of the mind and science to change our views on sexuality. After years in medical practice, she had a life-changing patient who fueled not only her interest in learning everything she could about female sexual wellness but ultimately, her passion for educating women everywhere that they are not broken in the bedroom. They just didn’t get a proper education (and neither did their partners).
She created a podcast called You Are Not Broken which consistently ranks in the top 10 in the Apple “sexuality” category in multiple countries. It has been nominated for an AASECT award for three years running.
She went on to develop online courses teaching women the fundamentals of their anatomy and physiology, discussing their limiting beliefs, and normalizing their normal female sexual function, so that they are empowered to live their best love lives yet. She has a premier, private podcast/group coaching experience, which started in July 2022 to help people create desire and agency in their intimate lives.
Certified through the Life Coach School and the North American Menopause Society, she now combines her medical knowledge with mind-work to help women have more understanding and agency over their sexuality.
An engaging and humorous storyteller, she is a nationally recognized speaker, known for being approachable (like your big sister who is a doctor), making people feel comfortable with these often-uncomfortable topics, and changing lives in and out of the bedroom with her practical and useful tips.
She is opening The Casperson Clinic in October 2024

This is episode (4) of our special nine-part series entitled Families Change where Julie Flakstad, sits down in-person with Kelly Corrigan to discuss the voluminous topic of changing family dynamics as we enter midlife. In this episode, Kelly shares her valuable perspective + insights on how motherhood evolves as our children age, the ache of learning to let go, as well as her brave thought that while we can never get enough of our children, we shouldn’t need a thing. It’s a candid, heartfelt conversation where she also touches on the idea that we’re forever modeling for our children — even in midlife in terms of showing them that we can continue to flourish.
Our conversation also explores the vulnerable role of navigating aging parents and the concept of leaning into what they may need versus what we want. Kelly also generously recounts the recent loss of her mother and the invaluable lessons she taught her.
A few important mentions that we bring up during our conversation:
- Her gratitude + involvement with Christy Turlington’s foundation, Every Mother Counts
- Recent TedTalk ‘Love Is To Be Brave’

Special thanks also to Laughing Man Studios in NYC for hosting the conversation.
In this episode of The Midlife Truth Project podcast, hosts Julie Flakstad and Dr. Taz Bhatia sit down with Dr. Sharon Malone to discuss perimenopause and menopause, including why generations of women were left to suffer in silence, the now infamous Women's Health Initiative (WHI) Study and the resulting controversy regarding the use of hormonal therapy (HRT) and breast cancer. In this episode, we also discuss what’s happening to our bodies during the menopause transition, why women may feel like they’re ‘going crazy,’ common myths about HRT relative to symptom relief as well as the many long term health benefits including preventing cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and type 2 diabetes. The conversation also highlights a stark disparity in research funding, noting that less than 11% of the $45 billion in NIH research goes to women’s studies. Dr. Malone emphasizes the need for equitable access to quality healthcare for all women.

Losing weight is quite a challenge for most of us especially with all these different methods that claim to be the "best" and "fastest" way to do so. In this episode, Dr. Taz is joined by Jenn Trepeck to talk about why there's no "one size fits all" when it comes to losing weight and how our behavior impacts whatever progress we achieve in our weight loss journey. Jenn has been described as a "force of nature" in the wellness space, has been recognized as one of Podcast Magazine’s 40 under 40, and was nominated for the 2022 International Women’s Podcast Award for Visionary Leadership. She is an Optimal Health Coach, Podcaster, and Business Consultant. Jenn grew up the skinny one in a family of dieters which was awesome until it went away. And so began her weight management saga. Ultimately though, Jenn learned the nutrition education we’re all supposed to know but no one ever taught us. This completely changed her life and allowed her to say she “kicked her food issues.” From then, Jenn set out on a mission to pay it forward and help people help themselves. After over a decade of working with clients, Jenn started Salad with a Side of Fries podcast. Based on science, yet lighthearted, Jenn talks about living life while still making ourselves and our health a priority.

In this episode, Dr. Taz is joined by Viki Zarkin as she shares her cancer battle journey and how she conquered it. Viki Zarkin is the only person alive with this aggressive form of Stage 4 metastatic cancer for over 11 years. She was diagnosed in her 40s when her doctor first told her to go home and get her affairs in order. At the time, she had two small children at home and was running her husband's dental practice. Viki spent the next several years fighting for her life, advocating for herself, navigating the healthcare world, and following her gut.
Now, Viki is a beacon of hope as a national motivational speaker, coach, and author of I Am the One. She inspires women to change how we have been programmed to think and emphasizes the importance of starting with young women on believing in themselves, challenging the status quo, finding their voices, and listening to their hearts. Viki's can-do attitude inspires people to think differently in their everyday lives; by applying her unique thought process, deals can be made in a boardroom just as easily as they can help people through their cancer battle.

Emma Branderhorst is a 26-year-old director from Amsterdam. Her work mainly deals with major social themes such as period poverty, children of war, and bullying, which she turns into a personal and intimate story. The ‘slice of life’ effect is significant in her work which is how she can make the characters feel ‘alive’ and that the story doesn’t only focus on the problem. She intentionally tells stories through powerful and independent female protagonists from a feminine perspective. Her film Under the Skin premiered at Berlinale Generation and won the Wildcard Dutch Film Festival for best new film talent (2019) and Cinekid’s best youth film (2020). Her latest film Spotless (2022), won the Krystal Bear at Berlinale Generation, the Cinekid award for Best Short Film, the Grand Prix at Regard in Canada, and was recently submitted to the Oscars 2023. In this episode, Emma and Dr. Taz talk about the significant gaps in women's rights in a patriarchal society and the struggles women experience during their period. Emma also shares her filmmaking journey and what inspired her to take on major social themes and intentionally transform them into a story from a female perspective.

Your diet may be the key to your cellular health and vitality.Dr. Valter Longo finds the fasting-mimicking diet can eliminate damaged cells and prompt healthy cell creation in mice. This longevity diet may prove helpful for human healing.

Chronic stress and anxiety present more than mental and emotional symptoms--they can also prompt physiological responses.Stress and anxiety have become a regular occurrence in everyday life. From financial woes to relationship angst, there is no shortage of stress triggers.
Unfortunately, chronic stress and anxiety become more than just a mental or emotional condition.

- Remove inflammation
- Reset the microbiome
- Repair the gut lining

Dr. Rick Hanson shares steps you can take every day to improve your or your child's resilience and well-being.Amongst all the unrest and trauma in our world lately, we're taking this week to revisit an important episode from late last year on resilience and well being.
Be mindful. Fake it until you make it. Focus on the positive.
We hear so many phrases and instructions on how to be resilient and have a positive outlook on life, but according to Dr. Rick Hanson, it all comes down to neuroscience. He explains how neurons that fire together, wire together, and he lays out practical steps you can take to definitively develop inner calm, self-worth, and emotional intelligence.
By taking 5-10 minutes a day to sit with your positive and negative thoughts and turn them into feelings, you’ll build up strength over time that you can draw on in times of need. This practice works for both adults and children.
Dr. Hanson encourages people to sit with their emotions after something positive happens to make sure they permanently store those feelings of accomplishment in the brain. When you have a negative experience, he recommends a three-step process.
- Be. Sit with the experience and try to view it with compassion and mindfulness.
- Let go. Release the tension from your body and disengage with any beliefs that aren’t good for you or for others.
- Let in. Replace the negative feelings you’ve released with positive alternatives.
Listen as Dr. Hanson joins Dr. Taz to discuss how to become more resilient.

Learn how you can become your own superwoman -- whatever that means to you.When you're reaching for your dreams, it can become easy to convince yourself that "burnout" is just a part of the process.
You may find yourself distancing yourself from others, diving head-first into work and ignoring your own self-care... all to the tune that eventually it will all be "worth it." Another common happening is a great deal of negative self-talk, especially when you aren't realizing success at the pace you'd like.
Nicole Lapin, bestselling author and TV anchor, has a message for you: you can find lasting success by your own definition, on your own terms.

She joins Dr. Taz to describe her journey to her own success, with all the bumps along the way, and how you can become your own superwoman -- whatever that means to you.
Forget the dos and don’ts of healthy eating and instead choose to eat competently.So often, weight loss diets focus solely on the foods you should or shouldn’t eat.
But, according to dietitian and family therapist Ellyn Satter, positive eating habits have more to do with eating attitudes and behaviors than the foods you choose. Satter emphasizes that people should enjoy what they’re eating and focus on food competence.
Food competence comes down to feeding yourself faithfully and giving yourself permission to eat. People who eat competently tend to weigh less and have a more stable weight than those who don’t.
Three of the primary elements of eating competently are:
- Creating a structure around your eating habits.
- Creating an experience around eating.
- Trusting yourself to get interested in new foods.
Listen as Ellyn Satter joins Dr. Taz to discuss competent eating.
What are lectins, where are they found, and why are they so bad for our health?With so many diet and eating plans like vegetarianism, veganism, gluten-free and paleo, lectins get lost in the fray.
But, avoiding lectins might be the key to weight loss, fighting inflammation and the aging process, and eliminating the symptoms of autoimmune disease, thyroid issues, leaky gut, kidney disease, and arthritis.
Dr. Steven R. Gundry, a cardiac surgeon turned diet expert, explains why lectins are so prevalent in the modern diet, how lectins can damage our bodies, and which foods to avoid if you need to go lectin-free.
Listen as Dr. Gundry joins Dr. Taz to discuss lectins.

Breathwork is any breathing practice done with mindfulness and awareness. Much like yoga and meditation, there are a number of different types of breathwork that can be done to help with anxiety, stress, sleep issues, trauma recovery, connecting with your intuition, and feeling stuck in life.
Breathwork expert Ashley Neese joins Dr. Taz to discuss the science behind breathwork and shares tips on how to get started.
Experiencing cramps, digestive issues, or flushed skin after eating? Histamine might be the culprit.Determining the cause of digestive and gut health issues can be complex. Though many know of disorders like leaky gut, GERD, and IBS, a lesser known gut disruptor is histamine intolerance.
Histamine is a compound released by immune cells and is very important to the immune system and estrogen production. However, having too much histamine can cause digestive cramps, loose stools, urgent bowel movements, and flushing skin or hives.
An increase in patients with histamine intolerance and similar gut issues is caused by a number of factors:
- Today, people aren’t eating enough vegetables or enough variety of vegetables.
- People are eating too much processed food that’s high in sugar and low in fiber.
- Humans no longer ferment foods regularly, which used to be a regular practice in the winter.
- Everyone is exposed to medications, and there is more self-prescribing and self-diagnosing than ever before.
- More toxic substances are present in everyday household items like makeup and cleaning supplies.
- Americans are generally undernourished because diets lack the proper vitamins and minerals.
Fortunately, histamine intolerance can be managed with a low-histamine diet.
Listen as Nour Zibdeh joins Dr. Taz to discuss histamine intolerance.
Learn how group visits can cure loneliness and greatly improve our healthcare system.For many, our current healthcare system isn’t working.
Conventional medicine doesn’t provide the care needed to uncover the root causes of chronic disease, and expensive insurance premiums keep underprivileged communities from accessing appropriate care.
James Maskell has spent the last decade sparking debate and innovating at the cross section of functional medicine and community. His Functional Forum helps healthcare professionals explore alternate routes to insurance, predictive and preventative medicine best practices, and learn more about group visits, in which multiple patients experiencing the same issue can seek treatment together.
Listen as James Haskell joins Dr. Taz to discuss the evolution of medicine and a cure for loneliness.
Alzheimer’s disease can and should be prevented. Dr. Dale Bredesen explains how.In recent years, Alzheimer's disease has affected more and more people and it’s hitting at an earlier age. It’s the third leading cause of death in the United States. Two-thirds of Alzheimer's patients are women.
As recently as a few years ago, there was no hope for people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. However, recent research shows that those who come in early can have a very good prognosis. The key is prevention and early detection.
In addition to genetic testing, adults age 45 and older should have conversations with their physician about lifestyle factors that can cause Alzheimer’s. They should also start getting regular cognoscopies, a test used to evaluate the risk factors that can cause neuro-degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.
Dr. Dale Bredesen explains that a healthy plant-based diet that’s mildly ketogenic, stress management, and regular sleep patterns can help prevent Alzheimer’s and other neuro-degenerative diseases.
Listen as Dr. Dale Bredesen joins Dr. Taz to discuss the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease.
Regular walks with friends can help women reduce loneliness and the risk of heart disease.We’re experiencing a loneliness crisis in our country.
A recent study showed that 73% of women admit to feeling lonely. We’re simultaneously facing a fitness and wellness crisis. Despite the fact that we have more access to information about how to stay healthy than ever before, we’re having trouble turning that knowledge into action.
The solution to both of these issues might be simpler than you think — establishing a regular walking practice with other women. Studies have shown that women who walk regularly with friends are 2.5 times less likely to often feel lonely.
A regular walking practice also reduces your risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, dementia, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and several types of cancer.
Listen as 99 Walks founder Joyce Shulman joins Dr. Taz to discuss regular communal walking.
Stop running on autopilot and learn how to lead an extraordinary life.Every person has the potential to lead an extraordinary life and become an extraordinary leader, parent, professional, or spouse. But, often our subconscious mind gets in our way and holds us back.
The way our subconscious mind operates is established by the age of seven, so our brain is essentially functioning on code written by a seven-year-old. In order to find your calling and be the shaper of your life, not a victim of your circumstances, you need to stop living on autopilot and actively re-write the code — and your beliefs.
This starts with looking internally and honestly examining your beliefs. You need to take responsibility for the way you’ve been living and learn to reconstruct your beliefs to become the person you’d like to be. And Darren Gold explains how to do that in 10 minutes a day.
Listen as Darren joins Dr. Taz to discuss how to live an extraordinary life.

New York Times bestselling author Robyn Spizman explains how we can learn how to express love for others out loud without feeling uncomfortable or self-conscious. She provides examples and exercises that you can do to thoughtfully emote and vocalize your gratitude and love in order to create a life well-lived.
Listen as Robyn Spizman joins Dr. Taz to discuss loving out loud.
When we learn research from brain science and education, we can live in a more free and “limitless” way.New evidence in brain science contradicts much of what we’ve learned in the past and were taught in school. Namely, we now know that our brains are plastic, so they are constantly changing as we learn.
It was once thought that every person was born with certain gifts and certain people were more inclined to be good at math or the arts. However, this new research suggests that everyone is capable of learning and succeeding at anything.
Unfortunately, many institutions, including schools and boardrooms are still functioning in the old-school mode, which keeps many girls from succeeding at the same rate as boys in the areas of STEM—despite the fact that they have the same innate potential to succeed.
Dr. Jo Boaler shares tips on how to make the classroom and boardroom a better environment for women and girls to succeed.
Listen as Dr. Boaler joins Dr. Taz to discuss neuroplasticity and limitless learning.
Find out how you can merge the worlds of holistic living and plastic surgery.With the prevalence of social media, we often see images of celebrities and influencers with perfect skin and bodies. This has altered our perception of beauty and age, and many women feel like they can’t keep up.
Some women turn to plastic surgery, but many who attempt to lead a holistic life would rather leave surgery as a last resort.
Dr. Anthony Youn shares tips for how to maintain young and healthy looking skin. He encourages eating well, exercising, limiting stress, and being mindful of what you put on your skin. He notes that there are thousands of chemicals in skincare products that are legal in the U.S. but banned in Europe, and women should skip these products in favor of clean products.
He also shares his "Two Minutes, Five Years Younger" skincare regimen, which includes:
Morning
- Cleanser that’s appropriate for your skin type
- An antioxidant serum with vitamin C and vitamin E
- Sunscreen (SPF 30 or more) without hormone disruptors
Night
- Cleanser that’s appropriate for your skin type
- Anti-aging retinol cream
- Moisturizer (if you have dry skin)

Listen as Dr. Youn joins Dr. Taz to discuss holistic plastic surgery.
Learn how a modern twist on the world's oldest health system can improve your overall health.Ayurveda is the world’s oldest health system. It is the sister science of yoga and focuses on the mind-body connection. The system helps individuals find balance of mind and body through proper nutrition, self-care, seasonal eating, and daily practices.
After traditional diets left Sahara Rose with a slew of health issues, including entering perimenopause at the age of 21, she rediscovered Ayurveda and realized that with some modernization, it can be an effective health system for many women today.
At its core, Ayurveda states that every person is made of five basic elements found in the universe: space, air, fire, water and earth. The varying combination of those elements create three doshas or energy forces: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
By altering your diet based on which type of dosha you are, you can find balance and improve your overall health.
Listen as Sahara Rose joins Dr. Taz to discuss Ayurveda.
Holistic psychology helps certain individuals step away from medication and treat chronic disease and anxiety naturally.Much like holistic medicine, holistic psychiatry takes a step back and asks the question, “why?”
Psychiatrists look at the root cause of various symptoms to see if something like a micronutrient deficiency or inter-generational trauma is causing a person's pain or anxiety. By digging deeper and finding answers, psychiatrists are able to skip medication for certain patients and take a more holistic, natural approach to treatment.
In her recent book, Own Your Self, Dr. Kelly Brogan explains how many individuals -- if not all -- struggle with victim consciousness. People are comfortable living in the victim mentality about things big and small and feel validated by being right about being wronged. She explains how people can step out of that trap and inhabit a worldview that cultivates self-love and personal liberation through forgiveness, visualization techniques, and mind/body connection exercises.
Listen as Kelly joins Dr. Taz to discuss holistic psychology.
Learn how you can improve your life by training your brain to become more resilient.As we become more connected digitally, we’re less connected emotionally and socially.
We’re constantly switched on and inundated with information, which elevates our stress levels. That can leave people feeling defeated. Without mastering your emotions, connecting to your body and your intuition, and staying motivated, you will start to feel like a victim of your own life rather than having agency over it.
Dr. Tara Swart discusses her book, which touches on the six languages your brain uses to create resilience and the four-step process for rewiring your brain to become more resilient. Through focused attention, action boards, deliberate practice and accountability, individuals can create a more agile brain with leads to the manifestation of their goals.
Listen as Dr. Swart joins Dr. Taz to discuss resilience and brain health.
Struggling to resolve skin issues? The answer might be in your gut.There is a direct connection between gut health and skin health.
If you suffer from a chronic skin rash and are struggling to find a solution, you may need to look to your gut. If topical creams aren’t solving your issues, it’s likely because the root cause of the problem is much deeper in your body.
Much like leaky gut, a person can suffer from leaky skin. When the body doesn’t get the proper nutrients, the liver becomes overburdened and struggles to clean the toxins out of the body. So, the toxins are released through the skin, causing rashes and eczema.
Jennifer Fugo shares her story and explains how she cleared up her skin by altering her diet. She offers tips on how to identify skin issues and solve them with supplements and diet changes.
Listen as Jennifer joins Dr. Taz to discuss the connection between your gut and your body’s largest organ—your skin.
Learn why making lists is good for your health and how to make a list that sets you up for success.In an attempt to “have it all” and please everyone, many women become so stressed that it starts to affect their health.
However, the solution to dissolving stressors might be simpler than you’d think. Paula Rizzo explains how making an intentional list can change your life, alleviate stress, and improve your overall health.
We often let our to-do lists become overcrowded with the things we want to do, the things we feel obligated to do, and the things our ego tells us we have to do in order to make sure something gets done properly. But, the first bucket is the only one that’s necessary.
Paula suggests setting your top priorities for your life at this moment in time. Everything that gets added to your to-do list should serve that goal, understanding that your priorities will change over time. She also suggests adopting an abundance mindset and accepting that good things will come your way again in the future, so you don’t have to do everything now.
Listen as Paula joins Dr. Taz to discuss how making lists can be good for your health.
Learn how to lose weight, gain clarity, and get energized with deep cellular cleansing and colon hydrotherapy.Healthy atoms are negatively charged ions, meaning that there are more electrons on the outer belt than there are protons in the nucleus. Another word for this is alkaline. Positively ionically charged atoms, on the other hand, are acidic.
Our tissues are composed of negatively charged atoms. A person therefore should be eating alkaline foods, because acidic foods can alter the body’s natural state. The degree to which a food is acidic is the degree to which it has been processed and packaged. When we consume acidic foods, it adheres to our alkaline tissue and we only eliminate 40-60% of that acidic food.
Natalia Rose explains how we can reset our bodies, lose weight, gain clarity and feel better with a two-step process. The first phase is deep cellular cleansing, in which you ingest leafy greens to reconstitute and draw up acidic matter. The second step is the elimination of acidic matter through colon hydrotherapy.
Listen as Natalia joins Dr. Taz to discuss deep cellular cleansing and colon hydrotherapy.
Lose weight and eliminate dangerous liver fat in just 28 days.If you notice a change in your body composition and are gaining weight where you don’t want it, you could be undergoing a metabolic change.
And, that change might be caused by your liver.
Even those who don’t formally have fatty liver disease may be heading towards it or have markers for it. If you have changes in your energy, weight, and appetite, you may be at risk for fatty liver disease.
Dr. Alan Christianson created the Metabolism Reset Diet, which is intended to reverse damage to the liver and eliminate the most dangerous fat in your body in just four weeks. Depending on the amount of weight you want to lose, the cycle can be repeated as many times as you’d like.
The result is weight loss, fewer food cravings, steady energy levels, and a metabolism that functions well.
Listen as Dr. Christianson joins Dr. Taz to discuss the relationship between your liver and your metabolism, as well as a diet that will help you lose weight and get healthy fast.
Learn why integrative medicine offers a more holistic approach to pediatrics.Integrative pediatrics offers a more well-rounded approach to pediatric care. It combines traditional Western treatments like medications with supplements or homeopathic solutions.
As we continue to introduce more and more chemicals into our food and our environment, slow-grade chronic diseases are becoming more prevalent in children. While Western medicine acts as a band-aid for symptoms, integrative pediatrics looks at the "why" of the disease. Doctors are able to identify and reverse the root cause of the issue and come up with natural, long-term solutions.
Integrative pediatrician Dr. Joel Warsh explains why parents should look to diet, exercise, stress, sleep, and environment to address issues such as eczema, autoimmune conditions, gut problems, sensory issues, and neurological conditions like Autism and ADHD.
Listen as Dr. Warsh joins Dr. Taz to discuss integrative pediatrics.
Dr. Rick Hanson shares steps you can take every day to improve your or your child's resilience and well-being.Be mindful. Fake it until you make it. Focus on the positive.
We hear so many phrases and instructions on how to be resilient and have a positive outlook on life, but according to Dr. Rick Hanson, it all comes down to neuroscience. He explains how neurons that fire together, wire together, and he lays out practical steps you can take to definitively develop inner calm, self-worth, and emotional intelligence.
By taking 5-10 minutes a day to sit with your positive and negative thoughts and turn them into feelings, you’ll build up strength over time that you can draw on in times of need. This practice works for both adults and children.
Dr. Hanson encourages people to sit with their emotions after something positive happens to make sure they permanently store those feelings of accomplishment in the brain. When you have a negative experience, he recommends a three-step process.
- Be. Sit with the experience and try to view it with compassion and mindfulness.
- Let go. Release the tension from your body and disengage with any beliefs that aren’t good for you or for others.
- Let in. Replace the negative feelings you’ve released with positive alternatives.
Listen as Dr. Hanson joins Dr. Taz to discuss how to become more resilient.
Get tips on how and when to integrate technology into your child's life.Technology is a necessary part of our everyday lives, but for children, it can be harmful if it’s not monitored closely.

Learn how to stop self-sabotaging and create a blueprint for achieving your goals in life.As human beings, we are predisposed to self-sabotage. Humans are wired to attain rewards and avoid threat, so our inclination to panic and avoid threatening situations is actually a evolutionary benefit.
However, when we develop a pattern of getting in our own way and not taking necessary risks to move forward, self-sabotage becomes a problem.
People tend to self-sabotage in one area of their life. To determine why you’re undermining your own intentions, check in with yourself to see if you're experiencing any of these LIFE issues.
- Low or shaky self-concept
- Internalized beliefs that hold you back

Women who have been told repeatedly to "get your mammogram" may have been misled.For decades, women have been advised to "get your mammogram" as an early detection approach.
According to Dr. Nyjon Eccles, women have been misled.
Based on research, Dr. Eccles states that mammography screening doesn't lead to survival advantage. He cites research results that show for every 2,000 women who are screened over 10 years, one life will be saved, 10 women will receive unnecessary treatment, and 200 women will receive false positive results.

A better alternative, says Dr. Eccles, is the use of thermography, which uses infrared cameras to detect heat radiating from breast tissue. Cancers generate heat because they are highly metabolic and cause increased blood circulation. The screening tool does not involve compression of the breasts, nor does it use radiation. It is able to pick up on potential cancer before it can be seen, structurally, by a mammogram.
Another benefit is that thermography screening isn't impeded by dense breast tissue, and therefore can be used in younger women who may have a family history or genetic risk.
While mammography may produce false positives, Dr. Eccles has seen thermography result in 90-95% accuracy.
He does caution, however, that thermography shouldn't be used as a diagnostic tool; rather, its focus should be screening and early detection. Just because heat is detected, doesn't mean it's cancer -- it could be an inflammatory response. That said, any chronic or persistent inflammatory issues should also be followed up with additional diagnostic investigation.
Listen as Dr. Eccles joins Dr. Taz to discuss more about why thermography is a better option to mammography, as well as his development of ThermoCheck®, a computer-assisted Breast Thermography system.

Learn how to treat neurological, behavioral and developmental disorders like PTSD, anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD and dyslexia without pharmaceuticals.Neurological, behavioral and developmental disorders like PTSD, anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, TBI, and Parkinson’s are most often treated with pharmaceuticals.
But, that isn’t always an appropriate or sustainable option, especially for children.
Carol Garner-Houston, co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of Brain Harmony, has created a non-pharmaceutical treatment option that can start to take effect in just five days. Neuroplastic tools such as bone conduction and sound frequency can be used to make changes in the brain.
Her bottom-up approach uses audio frequencies to pinpoint different parts of brain, stimulate them, and build connections to improve cognitive functions.
Listen as Carol joins Dr. Taz to discuss how brain functions can be improved through telemedicine.

Advance your career and find balance with visualization techniques.In today’s world, women are more empowered to take ownership over their careers by becoming their own boss or getting access to the resources they need to be successful at a company.
However, there’s still a lot of work to be done.
For the women who climb the corporate ladder and take on more responsibilities in the workplace, they're trying to give 100% at home and at work, which leaves them feeling stretched and overwhelmed.
Joan Kuhl, founder of Why Millennials Matter, author, speaker and champion of women in leadership, shares tips and visualization techniques women can use to find balance and succeed in all areas of their life. She helps women identify gender bias in the office and arms them with tools to remove it.
Listen as Kuhl joins Dr. Taz to discuss how women can build the career—and life—they deserve.
Lose weight and eliminate dangerous liver fat in just 28 days.If you notice a change in your body composition and are gaining weight where you don’t want it, you could be undergoing a metabolic change.
And, that change might be caused by your liver.
Even those who don’t formally have fatty liver disease may be heading towards it or have markers for it. If you have changes in your energy, weight, and appetite, you may be at risk for fatty liver disease.
Dr. Alan Christianson created the Metabolism Reset Diet, which is intended to reverse damage to the liver and eliminate the most dangerous fat in your body in just four weeks. Depending on the amount of weight you want to lose, the cycle can be repeated as many times as you’d like.
The result is weight loss, fewer food cravings, steady energy levels, and a metabolism that functions well.
Listen as Dr. Christianson joins Dr. Taz to discuss the relationship between your liver and your metabolism, as well as a diet that will help you lose weight and get healthy fast.
Learn how to reframe your anxiety and take control of your life.Today, there are so many opportunities for anxiety to enter a woman’s life.
Whether it’s anxiety around her social life, her job, our current political climate, or keeping up with the rising cost of commodities, there’s no shortage of ways for a person to be stressed. Layer on the fact that many women are essentially working two full-time jobs—one at the office and one at home—and you have a recipe for chronic anxiety.
Dr. Robert T. London is a well-known psychiatrist, educator, and writer who has come up with a form of short-term therapy that helps women deal with anxiety. His spin on cognitive behavior therapy, LPA, focuses on allowing a person to get a different perspective on the problem. He combines that with relaxation therapy to help women take back their lives.
Listen as Dr. Robert T. London joins Dr. Taz to discuss how women can overcome anxiety and PTSD.
Learn how these eight biomarkers can affect overall health and longevity.In the medical community, most resources go towards treating people who are already sick.
However, it’s also important to treat people who are well to ensure they’re making the right lifestyle choices, so they don’t become sick. Much of this school of thought centers around epigenetics.
Epigenetics, at its simplest, is the study of biological mechanisms that switch genes on and off. What you eat, drink, think and do—or don’t do—can cause chemical modifications around the genes that will turn those genes on or off over time, determining your short- and long-term quality of survival.
There are eight predictive biomarkers in particular that are indicators for lifetime health. They are:
1. High sensitivity Hemoglobin A1c: Measure of efficiency of sugar/insulin/energy conversion
2. High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein: Repair and inflammation immune status
3. High sensitivity Homocysteine: Methylation, Detox, Cardio Risk
4. Test for immune memory/immune response to up to 491 items
5. Assess mineral need and cell acid/alkaline balance
6. Vitamin D level for cell communication status
7. Oxidative stress and antioxidant status in cell envelope (membrane)
8. 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8OHdG): Oxidative stress and antioxidant status in cell nucleus
Listen as Dr. Russell M. Jaffe joins Dr. Taz to discuss these eight indicators and how to make lifestyle choices that will improve health and longevity.

Who said healthy cooking needs to be complicated? Nealy Fischer shares kitchen hacks for preparing simple, healthy meals at home.Between taking care of family, working a full- or part-time job, and running around to various social and community events, many women struggle to find time to prepare a healthy meal. And, when they do find the time, they feel frustrated they’re not living up to what they shouldbe doing in the kitchen.
Nealy Fischer, founder of The Flexible Chef, encourages women to ditch perfection in the kitchen and focus on creating meals that fit within their lifestyle. By preparing meals at home, a person immediately becomes more conscious about what she’s putting into her body. But, according to Nealy, healthy cooking doesn’t need to be complicated.

Dr. Jay Davidson breaks down the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease and other parasitic infections.Between the environment, electromagnetic radiation (EMR), and the constant stress people face every day, we are at a higher risk than ever before of suffering from chronic parasite infections.
We’re constantly bombarded with energy from the 5G WiFi in our homes. Roughly 25 percent of buildings have mold in them, which suppresses the immune system. And, there are now more than 85,000 chemicals created by man, many of which haven’t been studied thoroughly.
Dr. Jay Davidson discusses how these factors contribute to the risk of Lyme disease and other parasitic infections. He breaks down the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of these diseases and shares his holistic approach to treatment.
Listen as Dr. Davidson joins Dr. Taz to discuss protocols for treating parasitic infection.
Learn how to incorporate mindfulness into your diet plan so you'll keep weight off after your diet ends.There are a number of diets available that focus primarily on the foods you can or cannot eat, or the amount of food you should consume per meal. However, without mindfulness, many people remain unmotivated to continue eating well after their diet ends and ultimately regain any weight lost.
Beth Warren, a dietician and “kosher girl,” relates her experience with dieting to her Jewish upbringing, noting that keeping kosher requires the same discipline as sticking to a diet plan.
She explains how setting a daily intention and simply being cognizant of what you eat can make the difference between a successful or failed diet.
Listen as Beth joins Dr. Taz to discuss her 21-day intuitive eating plan.
Learn how to achieve long-term health success by creating your own personalized health mix.When it comes to diets, exercise, and weight loss, consistency is key.
The mediocre workout that you can do consistently do is far better than the “best” workout you’ll never do. But, with all of the diet and exercise regimens available on the internet, it’s almost impossible to navigate the health world without feeling overwhelmed or paralyzed by indecision.
Kathleen Trotter helps clients create a “health mix” unique to their health history, goals, and life realities. She explains that no one diet, exercise, or mindfulness strategy works for everyone. Each individual has unique needs and enjoys different foods or types of exercise, and the only way to achieve long-term health success is to create your own personalized health mix.
Listen as Kathleen Trotter joins Dr. Taz to discuss how to find your health mix.
In a world of fad diets, Carly Pollack shares permanent weight loss solutions.There are countless diets, cleanses, and 30-day challenges geared to help people lose weight, but very rarely are these solutions permanent.
These fad diets tend to focus on the foods we should or shouldn’t put into our bodies rather than providing us with the mental tools necessary for making permanent changes.
Nutrition expert Carly Pollack presents her unique understanding of body science, brain wiring, and spiritual principles to facilitate real, long-term change. She shares with listeners how to let go of negative self-talk and stress rather than trying to manage it.
And, she reminds us that our plate is a reflection of our state.
Listen as Carly Pollack joins Dr. Taz to discuss permanent weight loss solutions.
Dr. Michael Ruscio discusses how nutrition isn't the only component of gut health.Dr. Michael Ruscio knows the importance of gut health. His personal experience led him to study integrative medicine for his own treatment.
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a disorder caused by excessive bacteria in the small intestine. Symptoms can mirror IBS with constipation, bloating, diarrhea and abdominal pain. Indigestion, heartburn and acid reflux may also occur. Non-digestive symptoms include thyroid problems, anxiety, brain fog, skin conditions and metabolism.
Forcing a restrictive diet will not correct an issue that is non-dietary. Active issues in the gut need to be addressed.
Food intolerances are something you can control. Remove foods that produce an inflammatory immune reaction in your gut. Eliminate processed foods.
You may have to limit foods that are rich in FODMAPs, short chain carbohydrates that are tough to digest. Not everyone can handle cruciferous vegetables like broccoli when there’s a bacterial overgrowth. Prebiotics in these foods can feed the bad bacteria until they’re handled.
Much of the immune system and the process of inflammation takes place in the gut.
Listen as Dr. Ruscio joins Dr. Taz to explain SIBO, FODMAPs, and how to improve your health by aiding your gut.
Dr. Becky Campbell shares how overall health influences thyroid function.Dr. Becky Campbell learned firsthand how important it is to heal the thyroid. Diagnosed with a hypothyroidism, she sought treatment from a functional medicine doctor as an alternative to medication.
Dr. Campbell reminds that most immune disorders generate in the gut. The adrenals are close to the thyroid, affecting its health. Viruses also influence overall health. A holistic approach to thyroid issues is imperative for healing.
Take steps to improve thyroid health. Stress reduction improves wellness. Make sure your diet supports gut health.
Listen as Dr. Campbell joins Dr. Taz to give tips on how to aid thyroid health.
Learn how essential oils can balance your hormones and boost your energy.Many women suffer from superhero syndrome, burning out trying to do everything and be everything to everyone and causing them to live in a constant state of stress.
This chronic stress creates a hormone imbalance that results in weight gain, depression, and a lack of energy. It can even lower your IQ.
Dr. Mariza Snyder empowers women to pause and shift your mindset to make yourself a priority. Her solution: incorporate essential oils into your mindfulness routine.
Essential oils can lower cortisol levels in your brain, meaning less stress and more energy. Simply breathing in essential oils improves cognitive function, lowers blood pressure, curbs cravings, and gives your body a boost of natural energy.
Listen as Dr. Mariza Snyder joins Dr. Taz to discuss the power of essential oils.
Learn how to unplug, unwind, and find true happiness in your life.In today’s achievement-oriented society, it’s easy to find success and wealth but still be unhappy. We’re constantly working to achieve goals and make the people around us happy, and we’re foiled by what we see on social media.
However, happiness is easy to find if you have the right tools.
Tal Ben-Shahar, PhD, uses proven, evidence-based techniques to help people find happiness. He suggests unplugging from technology, forming real relationships -- whether romantic, professional or platonic -- and finding the overlap between what you’re good at and what makes you passionate. From there, we can give ourselves “permission to be human” and find peace.
Join Dr. Taz as she and Dr. Ben-Shahar discuss how we can begin the journey to find happiness.

Stress, a lack of sleep and poor food choices can seriously affect your gut health and digestion. Registered Dietitian Isabel Smith explains how your body breaks down food.Many Americans have adopted a behavior of stress, forcing their bodies to constantly function in fight-or-flight mode. This stress cause immune system issues, period disruptions, sleep issues and keeps them from being able to properly digest food.
Food is metabolized differently when you’re stressed than when you’re relaxed. Quickly scarfing down a meal without looking at your food can cause a variety of digestion and gut issues.
Isabel Smith, a Registered Dietitian, offers advice on how to become more aware of your stress levels and develop self-care practices like journaling or exercising to improve your gut health. She also shares the top foods that keep your gut functioning as it should.

True health comes from tapping into the body's innate ability to heal instead of frantically looking for outside solutions.Whether you are dealing with cancer, autoimmune disease, or a slew of mysterious symptoms, chronic illness can cut to the core of a woman’s being.
This is something that Brenda Walding, DPT, FDN-P, knows all too well.
Due to the intense stress she experienced--starting with graduating from physical therapy school, a move, new job, getting engaged then married--she began to suffer from chronic fatigue, chronic pain, and severe rashes that covered her body. Her immune system collapsed and she developed a stomach infection. Brenda was bed bound for several months.
On top of all of that, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Through this horrific journey, she learned to change her health scope and turned to essential oils, dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments and being more mindful.
Brenda believes that health must encompass physical, emotional and spiritual aspects. True health comes from tapping into the body's innate ability to heal instead of frantically looking for outside solutions. In short, it's time to heal by leading from your heart.

Getting back on track after the holidays can be a struggle. Amy Shapiro MS, RD, CDN, offers simple tips for realizing your health and weight loss goals this year.Many people overindulge during the holiday season but recognize it and are motivated to get back on track on January 1.
However, it can be difficult to get started and maintain desired healthy habits. Amy Shapiro MS, RD, CDN, advises focusing on a few things you know you can succeed at so you realize changes quickly and then build upon them.
Three achievable goals she suggests are:
- Make sure you're meeting your water goals. This decreases bloating and increases energy, as well as helps reset your metabolism.
- Fill half your plate with vegetables at every meal.
- Cut out "white" foods, such as breads, crackers, French fries, etc.
In terms of doing a detox, Amy believes the body knows how to detox itself but that water consumption is a key part of allowing it to do it's job. Intermittent fasting (IF) is also an effective option, but it's important to ensure you're getting all your nutrients in during your eating window.
Listen as Amy joins Dr. Taz to discuss additional ways to reset your metabolism and help you achieve all your health and weight loss goals in 2019.
Dr. Zach Bush explains why we need to start making big changes now so the future of our humanity on Earth is preserved.Zach Bush, MD, has a robust history in medicine and research.
His focus over the past decade has been in nutrition and he and his team have been studying glyphosate and many other dietary, chemical, and pharmaceutical toxins that disrupt our body's natural defense systems. He has also dedicated research to the negative effects of depleted soils, which also impact human health via the plants we eat--even if they have been deemed "healthy."
Dr. Bush joins Dr. Taz to explain the evolution of these toxins, starting with the invention of the plow, moving on to the use of chemicals in soil management after the Great Depression, and eventually the introduction of Monsanto's glyphosate to the farming process.
He also discusses why we need to start making changes now--and what those changes are--so the future of our humanity on Earth is preserved, as well as how his product line RESTORE is making significant differences in people's lives.
Ayurvedic chef Nalini Mehta views food and the cooking process as a means to nurture the soul.When Nalini Mehta's mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, it changed the way she viewed food -- namely, how it can be used to heal one's body.
Now an Ayurvedic chef, Nalini has continued to use the principles behind Ayurveda in many different areas of her life. She views food and the cooking process as a means to nurture the soul and as an experience for the mind, body and soul.

Chronic stress and anxiety present more than mental and emotional symptoms--they can also prompt physiological responses.Stress and anxiety have become a regular occurrence in everyday life. From financial woes to relationship angst, there are no shortage of stress triggers.
Unfortunately, chronic stress and anxiety becomes more than just a mental or emotional condition. It can have a number of physiological results, such as leaky gut, food sensitivities, bloating, and an upset microbiome. Your body is constantly in reactive mode, which disrupts multiple systemic functions.
Rather than turn to prescription remedies, Ali Miller, RD, LD, CDE, prefers to take a more holistic approach. She utilizes a six-step approach in order to restore balance:
- Remove inflammation
- Reset the microbiome
- Repair the gut lining
- Restore micronutrients
- Rebound the adrenals
- Rebalance neurotransmitters
Miller also uses a ketogenic strategy for managing chronic stress and anxiety, which helps balance blood sugar levels and grounds mood and mindset.
Listen as Miller joins Dr. Taz to discuss her expertise in this area, as well as share highlights from her newest book, The Anti-Anxiety Diet: A Whole Body Program to Stop Racing Thoughts, Banish Worry and Live Panic-Free.
