In this episode, we’re diving into the hot topic of protein sparing modified fasting (PSMF) and why short, strategic “3-day sprints” can be a powerful metabolic reset. Ali shares how these brief hypocaloric phases may help accelerate body fat loss while supporting anti-inflammatory processes and increasing autophagy, the body’s natural cellular cleanup system.
The literature consistently shows that most diets fail long term, with weight regain common within five years, and often much sooner with more aggressive interventions like GLP-1 medications or surgical approaches. In this conversation we explore who may benefit from protein sparing fasts, who should avoid them, where supplements fit in and how to implement this strategy. We also discuss research on autophagy.

Are ADHD and autism purely genetic and neurological, or could oxidative stress be a missing piece of the puzzle? In this episode of the Naturally Nourished Podcast, we unpack the growing conversation around how excessive oxidative burden and low antioxidant status may influence brain chemistry, behavior, and symptom expression. We explore how modern inputs like environmental exposures, dietary patterns, metabolic stress, and toxin load can contribute to neurological inflammation and why looking upstream at root drivers can shift how we approach support strategies.
We also break down what actually helps lower oxidative stress in practical, sustainable ways, from stabilizing blood sugar and prioritizing protein to increasing antioxidant-rich produce and targeted nutrient support. This conversation connects the dots between physiology and daily habits, giving you tangible tools to support neurological resilience, mood regulation, and cognitive function using food-as-medicine.

Are peptides the wellness world’s newest miracle, or just the latest overhyped biohack? With ads for injectable weight-loss solutions everywhere you look and wellness influencers calling peptides the holy grail, we’re taking a step back to unpack what’s actually going on beneath the marketing. In this episode, we break down what peptides are, what they do in the body, and why they’ve suddenly exploded in popularity across both clinical and wellness spaces.
We’re also diving into the questions we know you’re really asking—are peptide injections actually safe, who (if anyone) are they appropriate for, and what should give you pause? This conversation walks through the mechanisms, risks, and real-world considerations from a functional medicine lens as well as how you can get similar results without subjecting yourself to expensive weekly injections.

Have you ever heard of inositol? Could you be deficient and not even realize it? If you’re struggling with blood sugar swings, irregular cycles, anxiety, or 2am wake-ups, could this overlooked compound be a missing piece? While magnesium, B vitamins, and electrolytes dominate most wellness conversations, myo-inositol plays a critical role in insulin signaling, ovarian function, and neurotransmitter balance, acting as an intracellular messenger that helps your cells properly respond to hormonal cues.
This episode unpacks what myo-inositol actually is, how it functions in the body, and what the research shows in areas like PCOS, insulin resistance, fertility, mood disorders, and sleep. It also covers therapeutic dosing, food sources, and how to use supplementation strategically for clinical outcomes. Whether you’re navigating hormone imbalance, metabolic dysfunction, or nervous system dysregulation, this conversation takes a deeper look at why myo-inositol deserves far more attention in root-cause medicine.

Have you tried magnesium but felt like it didn’t help—or even made things worse? Are you confused by all the different forms and dosages? In this episode, Ali and Becki break down how magnesium actually works in the body, why so many people think they “don’t tolerate” magnesium, and why form, dose, and context matter far more than most realize.
We also share the full story behind the reformulation of Relax & Regulate, our superstar magnesium product. You’ll learn why we chose magnesium bisglycinate paired with myo-inositol, how this combination supports nervous system regulation, sleep, anxiety, blood sugar, and hormone balance, and why it’s especially impactful for PCOS, perimenopause, and stress-driven symptoms.

Are you gluten-free or not tolerating gluten and wondering why? Have you heard the sourdough craze and are curious about the differences of heirloom vs. conventional gluten grains? In this week’s podcast, Ali interviews James Brown or Barton Springs Mill about stone ground flour and heritage whole grains. In this episode you will learn about the industrial agriculture growing and harvesting process including the use of glyphosate and other chemical additives and how to shop for truly chemical-free flour. James shares the story of partnering with American growers and the importance of relationships with real food farmers to fix the broken food system.
In this episode you will learn about the grain milling process and why synthetic enrichment is seen in most-flours including those certified organic. Learn how stone milling retains bioavailable nutrients, enzymes, and other key players in enhancing digestibility and nutrient density. Ali and James talk about best uses of stone milled flours and how to adjust recipes for best outcomes as well as their favorite blends from Barton Springs Mill.

In this episode, we’re digging into a topic that underlies everything we do in functional medicine but rarely gets the airtime it deserves: somatic ways to reduce stress. We step outside the usual conversations about labs, supplements, pathophysiology, and food as medicine to talk about what it actually looks like to regulate your nervous system in real life. Because while “reduce your stress” is one of the most common recommendations in a healing protocol, very few people are ever taught how to do that in a tangible, embodied way.
This is a deeply practical episode focused on helping you release stored tension and trapped stress from the body using simple somatic tools. We explore why trauma and chronic stress don’t just live in your brain--they can show up as disease, pain, and symptoms in your body and can get in the way of healing. You’ll walk away with approachable techniques you can start using immediately to calm your nervous system, improve resilience, and support your body’s ability to heal.

This week on the Naturally Nourished Podcast, we’re digging into the newly released governmental nutrition guidelines. If you’ve been around here for any length of time, you know our core message has always been simple: eat real food. So imagine our surprise when these updated guidelines actually move closer to that exact philosophy, emphasizing whole foods, nutrient density, and fewer ultra-processed ingredients. It’s not perfect, but it’s a meaningful shift in the right direction, and one we never thought we’d see from official policy.
In this episode, we break down what the guidelines got right, where they still miss the mark, and what this all means for real families navigating grocery stores, school lunches, and confusing nutrition messaging. We also revisit Ali’s Optimal Eating Wheel she developed back in 2014 and compare it side-by-side with today’s recommendations — and yes, she was about a decade ahead of her time. We share our top critiques from a food-as-medicine lens and unpack the potential ripple effects on schools, SNAP, and institutional food systems so you can understand how these changes may actually show up in everyday life.

Are you intimidated by eating organs or unsure how to add more nutrient density to your diet without it feeling overwhelming? In this episode, we sit down with chef James Barry to take the “yuck” factor out of preparing and eating organ meats. We break down why organs are truly nature’s multivitamin, how sourcing and preparation make all the difference, and how simple tools—like James’s organ-based seasoning, Pluck—can make this powerful superfood an easy, delicious part of everyday meals.
In this conversation, we also dive into why organ meats fell out of favor, how modern food culture has disconnected us from nutrient-dense eating, and why mindfulness around food matters just as much as what’s on your plate. James shares practical, real-life strategies for getting organs into the diet without overwhelm—from beginner-friendly swaps and family-approved recipes to the best ways to season, cook, and source organs for optimal flavor and nutrition. Whether you’re organ-curious or just looking for smarter ways to upgrade your meals, this episode is packed with approachable education and takeaways you can actually use.
More about James Barry:
James Barry’s 20 years in the culinary field started as a private chef cooking for celebrities such as Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Gerard Butler, Mariska Hargitay (of Law & Order:SVI fame), Barbra Streisand, and John Cusack. James is CEO & Founder of the organ-based, superfood seasoning, Pluck. It's the first of its kind and an amazingly easy and delicious way for people to get organ meats into their diet.
James is also a published cookbook author having co-authored the recipes in Margaret Floyd’s book Eat Naked and Dr. Alejandro Junger’s book, Clean 7. He authored the cookbook The Naked Foods Cookbook. He is the host of the podcast, Everyday Ancestral.

Do you notice your mood dip, energy crash, or motivation fade as the days get shorter? Do winter colds seem harder to shake? Tune in as we unpack Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and why seasonal changes can have a very real impact on both mental health and immune resilience.
In this episode, we highlight key nutrients that support mood, stress response, and immune function, especially during fall and winter. We walk through the physiology behind seasonal mood changes—light exposure, neurotransmitters, inflammation, and circadian rhythm—and share practical food-as-medicine and supplement strategies you can actually implement. If winter tends to leave you feeling flat, foggy, or run-down, this episode offers science-backed support to help you feel more grounded and resilient through the season.

Are you ready to feel grounded, energized, and confident in your wellness this year? Are you tired of starting January with restriction instead of nourishment? Do you want habits that actually stick and support your metabolism, hormones, and mental health? In this episode, Ali and Becki kick off the new year by sharing five foundational ways to invest in your wellness so your routines feel craveworthy, not forced. We discuss how pleasure, satisfaction, and real food are essential for sustainability, how to navigate cravings without shame, and why creating routines your body desires leads to lasting change.
We also dive into supporting detox pathways, balancing blood sugar, and understanding how hormonal shifts—especially changes in estrogen—impact insulin sensitivity and metabolism as women age. Ali and Becki cover practical strategies for metabolic flexibility, the role of gratitude in nervous system and metabolic regulation, and why getting outside daily may be one of the most powerful (and overlooked) tools for stress resilience and healing.

Our Keto Reset is a 12-week, real-food, functional medicine–based program designed to help you lower insulin, improve metabolic flexibility, and address the root causes behind stubborn weight loss, hormone imbalance, gut dysfunction, and chronic inflammation. Unlike traditional keto plans, this program focuses on macronutrient strategy over calorie obsession, antioxidant density, therapeutic foods, and high-quality sourcing—while eliminating ultra-processed foods and non-caloric sweeteners. The goal isn’t restriction or perfection, but teaching your body how to burn fat efficiently while feeling nourished and supported.
Throughout the program, you’ll learn how to personalize your approach using sliding-scale protocols, understand how stress, hormones, and blood sugar influence metabolism, and build sustainable habits that lead to true food freedom. With weekly live classes, Q&As, and access to Ali and Becki’s combined 20+ years of functional medicine experience, the Keto Reset is designed to work with your physiology—not against it—so you can finally feel confident, clear, and in control of your health.

SSRI prescriptions are more common than ever—but how much do we really understand about how they work, their true efficacy, and their potential downsides? In this episode, we take a deep dive into the world of SSRIs, breaking down their mechanism of action and why their use has skyrocketed in recent years.
We unpack the growing concern around emotional blunting, a well-documented effect that can leave individuals feeling flat, disconnected, or lacking drive. You’ll learn why the serotonin deficiency model falls short, what SSRIs actually do in the brain, and why so many people are placed on them without a root-cause approach. We also explore powerful food-as-medicine and lifestyle strategies proven to support mood: from low-glycemic eating and amino acid repletion, to gut health, micronutrients, and more. If you're looking to understand the full picture of SSRIs and discover evidence-backed alternatives for mental wellness, this episode is a must-listen.

What if we told you it was possible to eliminate eczema with food as medicine? In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Andra McHugh, founder of Eczema Kids and host of the Eczema Kids Podcast, to explore how food-as-medicine can transform eczema from a lifelong battle into a healing journey. Andra shares her personal story of navigating her children’s severe eczema and how it led her to uncover the powerful connections between gut health, inflammation, and the skin. Together, we discuss the functional nutrition tools and toxin-free lifestyle strategies that can help families ditch steroids and endless trial-and-error in favor of true, lasting healing.
In this episode, Andra introduces her Eczema Elimination Method, a practical, family-centered approach to calming inflamed skin, improving sleep, and restoring balance from the inside out. Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of the root causes of eczema and the hope that with the right foods and daily habits, clear skin is absolutely possible. Whether you’re a parent feeling helpless or a practitioner looking for a functional framework, this conversation offers both the science and the encouragement to heal eczema naturally.

Out of that experience, she created the Eczema Elimination Method, a step-by-step system that equips families with simple food-as-medicine strategies, toxin-free lifestyle shifts, and soothing routines that actually work.

In this episode of the Naturally Nourished Podcast, we focus on three key hormones that can significantly impact metabolism: insulin, leptin, and cortisol. Each of these hormones plays an essential role in regulating energy, hunger, and stress, and when imbalances occur, they may be the underlying cause of a metabolic stall or plateau.
The conversation explores how insulin resistance can block fat burn, how leptin resistance can interfere with satiety signals, and how cortisol dysregulation can drive cravings and fat storage. We discuss practical strategies for identifying when these hormones are out of balance, along with food-as-medicine approaches, lifestyle modifications, and targeted supplementation to help restore harmony and support optimal metabolic function.

In this episode, we shine a spotlight on insulin—an often overlooked but crucial hormone that plays a central role in metabolism and overall health. While blood sugar gets a lot of attention, insulin is the key regulator behind it, influencing energy storage, fat metabolism, and cellular function. We explore how insulin resistance develops, the early signs to watch for, and why it’s so important to address this root issue to prevent chronic disease.
We also discuss how ketogenic and low-carb diets can help regulate insulin levels, improve metabolic flexibility, and support weight management. This episode provides clear, functional insights into insulin’s role and practical strategies for balancing it through nutrition and lifestyle, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in metabolic health and disease prevention.

Often referred to as a “Goldilocks” mineral, iodine must be kept in balance—too little can lead to fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, and hormonal imbalance, while too much can exacerbate autoimmunity and disrupt delicate nutrient interplay. In this episode, we take a comprehensive look at iodine’s role in thyroid health, fertility, immune function, breast tissue, and detoxification. We unpack symptoms of both deficiency and excess, explore the connection between iodine and environmental exposures like fluoride, chlorine, and brominated flour, and discuss important considerations for those with Hashimoto’s or other autoimmune conditions.
You'll also learn how to assess iodine status through testing, the validity of iodine painting, and the risks and benefits of different supplementation approaches. We highlight topical uses—from wound care and nasal rinses to support for fibrocystic breasts—as well as dietary sources like sea vegetables and seafood. The conversation includes a breakdown of iodized salt, the iodine-selenium relationship, and how to use iodine safely and effectively in your wellness routine.

Anemia is one of the most overlooked yet impactful conditions affecting energy, mood, cognition, and hormone balance. In this episode, we unpack the many root causes of anemia beyond just low iron—including micronutrient deficiencies, MTHFR mutations, lack of intrinsic factor, and the impacts of vegetarian or low-protein diets. We explore the difference between microcytic and macrocytic anemia and how to interpret key markers on an iron panel, including ferritin, transferrin saturation, and total iron-binding capacity.
You'll also learn about the important connections between thyroid function and iron status, the role of hormones like estrogen and cortisol, and how symptoms like fatigue, hair loss, or irregular cycles may trace back to suboptimal iron levels. Whether you're dealing with diagnosed anemia or suspect you’re trending low, this episode will help you understand how to restore balance from a functional, root-cause perspective.

How much thought have you given to the importance of a good chew? While this may sound like a random topic, the simple act of chewing—and making sure the diet includes tough and crunchy foods—has a profound impact on our health. From digestion and metabolism to oral health, facial development, and even the way we breathe, chewing plays a foundational role. In this episode, we explore how modern diets of ultra-processed, soft foods have contributed to metabolic dysfunction, altered jaw structure, and impaired breathing patterns that can disrupt sleep and brain function.
We also dive into the surprising neurological benefits of chewing, including its role in satiety, memory, and mental health. Chewing activates the vagus nerve and stimulates the release of cholecystokinin, a hormone that supports memory, learning, and appetite regulation. It also reduces stress responses, boosting activity in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex. Research even suggests that soft diets can decrease synaptic density and hippocampal cell count—key factors in cognitive performance. This episode will have you reaching for raw carrots, slow-roasted stew meat, and other chewy, nutrient-dense foods while rethinking how each meal you serve your family can support both body and brain through the power of a good chew.

While mammograms are often pushed at age 40 as the gold standard for breast health screening, many women are questioning the risk-reward ratio and seeking safer, more holistic alternatives. Could thermography be a more proactive, less harmful approach to identifying early dysfunction in the body? This episode explores the topic of thermography as a non-invasive, radiation-free tool for wellness assessment.
In this episode, we are joined by special guest Amanda Allen, owner of Austin Thermography, to break down the science, safety, and practical application of thermal imaging. We discuss how thermography differs from conventional screenings, what types of patterns it can detect—ranging from inflammation to hormonal imbalances—and how it may serve as an early warning system long before a disease manifests structurally. Whether you’re looking to support breast health, monitor chronic conditions, or simply stay in tune with your body’s signals, this episode will help you consider if thermography has a place in your wellness toolbox.

In this episode, we’re unpacking an often-overlooked topic in women’s health—testosterone. While commonly associated with men, testosterone is a vital hormone for women too, impacting energy, metabolism, muscle tone, libido, mood, and even cognitive function. Low levels can show up as stubborn fatigue, brain fog, irritability, weight gain, and decreased sex drive. We discuss how to spot the signs of low testosterone and explore how this hormone influences everything from your energy levels to your mental clarity.
We also share thoughts on the rise of testosterone replacement options like pellets and injections, including what to watch out for. You’ll learn natural, food-as-medicine strategies to support testosterone levels, plus key nutrients, lifestyle shifts, and supplement considerations. If you’ve been feeling off and suspect hormones might be to blame, this episode is a must-listen!

In this episode, we’re talking all things grassfed whey—a supplement we recommend to nearly every client for good reason. From weight loss and lean body mass to metabolic and immune health, the benefits of whey are powerful and broad spectrum. We break down what whey protein is, how it's made, and why we choose to use a whey concentrate over an isolate. We dive into the synergistic compounds found only in whey concentrates that are low heat processed like lactoferrin, CLA, and immunoglobulins—and how they go beyond muscle to support immune resilience, gut lining integrity, and even antioxidant production via glutathione synthesis.
We’re thrilled to unveil Whey Protect—our upgraded version of Naturally Nourished Grassfed Whey, now with added serum bovine immunoglobulins to further support immunity and reduce inflammation. We touch on how our formula stacks up in purity compared to mainstream brands and discuss the Clean Label Project’s recent findings on heavy metals in popular protein powders. Plus, we share our favorite ways to incorporate Whey Protect into your daily routine for optimal health!

In today’s episode of the Naturally Nourished Podcast, we’re getting up close and personal with an 8-legged creature that’s probably living on your face right now (yep, really). We’re diving into all things Demodex—a microscopic parasitic mite that lives in hair follicles and sebaceous glands, especially around the eyes. While most of us cohabitate peacefully with these tiny freeloaders, an overgrowth can trigger all kinds of skin and eye concerns, from blepharitis and ocular eczema to acne-like breakouts and rosacea flare-ups.
We’ll unpack the science behind Demodex overgrowth, how it can drive inflammation and contribute to skin conditions that often go misdiagnosed or mistreated, and what to look out for if you’re dealing with stubborn rashes or redness around the eyes, nose, or cheeks. Of course, we’ll also walk you through food-as-medicine strategies and functional tools—from supporting the microbiome to choosing the right topicals—to help get things back in balance. Tune in for the nitty gritty (literally) and leave empowered with new ways to support clear skin and resilient immune function from the inside out.

Have humans lost their natural instincts when it comes to how to nourish themselves? What can we learn from animals about nutritional wisdom, taste preference, and flavor feedback? How can we simplify and tap back into our inner knowing? Tune in to hear us interview Fred Provenza, a guest we absolutely loved talking to and we know you are going to love too!
In this episode, we are joined by special guest Fred Provenza, professor emeritus of Behavioral Ecology. Fred’s incredible body of research over the past 35 years has pioneered an understanding of how learning influences foraging behavior and how behavior links soil, plants, herbivores, and humans. Learn about primary and secondary compounds in our food, how the Vagus nerve is connected to sense of taste, and how humans can rediscover their inner wisdom in the modern world.
More about Fred Provenza:
Fred Provenza grew up in Salida, Colorado, working on a ranch and attending school in Wildlife Biology at Colorado State University. He is professor emeritus of Behavioral Ecology in the Department of Wildland Resources at Utah State University where he worked for 35 years, directing an award-winning research group that pioneered an understanding of how learning influences foraging behavior and how behavior links soil, plants, herbivores, and humans.
He is the author of three books, including Nourishment: What Animals Can Teach Us about Rediscovering Our Nutritional Wisdom; Foraging Behavior: Managing to Survive in a World of Change; and The Art & Science of Shepherding: Tapping the Wisdom of French Herders (co-author with Michel Meuret). He has published over 300 research papers in a wide variety of scientific journals. He has been an invited speaker at over 500 conferences.
The many awards he received for research, teaching, and mentoring reflect the creativity that flowed from warm professional and personal relationships with over 75 graduate students, post-doctoral students, visiting scientists, and colleagues during the past 45 years.

You likely have heard of regenerative agriculture or the approach that aims to improve soil health and uses a range of techniques to reduce the use of water and other inputs to create a more sustainable ecosystem, but what if this principle could be applied to your mind? What if you looked at life through a posture of humility and curiosity, asking why conditions good or bad emerge vs. focusing on the outcomes only? What if there isn’t a formula to success? Have you romanticized the concept of regenerative agriculture but aren’t a farmer or rancher and aren’t sure how it could apply to your life?
In this episode, guest Tre Cates walks us through how to be a regeneratively minded human. We discuss how commodidized, institutionalized models of school, the American household, the corporate world have lost the interconnection of uniqueness and potentially the opportunity for better outcomes, harmony, or greater growth. By focusing on productivity and outcomes rather than exploring the conditions, we may be shortchanging our life experiences. In this episode, Ali digs into what happens when we step back and trust God vs. trying to “drive the formula” and how biodiversity in the landscape can extend into how you redefine beauty or success in your home or place of work. Tre is a wealth of information and we are sure you will have some a-ha moments in this one.

More Resources from Dr. Laurie:
- VDIlab.com: lab that has a lot of special testing that most integrative vets have access to. I use them most for GI vitamins and allergy screening. Much more affordable than a standard lab.
- DNA heartworm testing- I've sent to Canada in past- very tricky with customs. Apparently Auburn offers this test. Any vet can set up an account with Auburn's lab to be able to run the test. Ideal when pet parents choose not to use a preventative. Detects living heartworm DNA - positive much sooner than standard testing. Heartworm - Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine.
- Animalbiome.com is an excellent company. tons of high quality research on microbiome health in dogs and cats and specific research on gut health with raw fed animals. Pet parents can test their pet's biome. I tend to recommend this with all of my GI cases, chronic skin, immune health cases. Results vary a lot. Some pets have severe e-coli overloads and practically zero beneficial bacteria so they need fecal transplants and specific pre/probiotic and fiber sources. Inulin might be a better fiber source than psyllium in some cases. Some pets don't have pathogenic bacteria but they have no good flora so they will also need fecal transplants. Best to work with a vet when this is needed as most of my patients need more support when they are undergoing fecal transplant. I reach for S boullardi /FOS a lot. This is not found in standard small animal formulas. Their product line is amazing!
- Vax/Titers: puppy /kitten vaccine protocol with titer testing recommendations from Dr. Jean Dodd's foremost authority on endocrine disease and immunology in small animals. One of her projects is the rabies challenge fund. vaccine protocol | Hemopet
- Puppies and kittens need their vaccine series per the protocol to protect them from deadly diseases. We think of these as core vaccinations. We start them earlier in Texas because of the much higher risk here. These vaccines are extremely effective. I usually run titers when the pet has already had one 3 year vaccine because they tend to be better protected and if they are protected, we can run the titers every 3 years when the vaccine would be due.
- Rabies is a legal requirement to prevent human exposure to this deadly disease. We have a lot of rabies in Texas! Every year, there is at least one pet dog and multiple kittens or adult cats who test positive for Rabies in Austin. They are tested because of human exposure and they are euthanized so their brain tissue can be tested :( All healthy pets should be vaccinated at least twice before titers are run.
- Titers can still be run but many clinics won't accept the titers. I am rabies vaccinated because I used to work with wildlife. We tested our titers regularly and when they were low, we got a booster. This is standard practice in the human field and may someday be the standard with small animals.
- Interceptor dose example: Sharing this with y'all so you can see the calculation for Interceptor (milbemycin oxime) Please note- the chewable pill cannot be broken because the medication is not evenly distributed
- Jax weighs 80 #
- We convert his weight to kg= 36.4kg
- 36.4 x 0.1mg/kg = 3.64 mg- this is the bare minimum dose to prevent heartworms. I don't like to have such a narrow margin in case the dog gains weight or there is resistance to the drug and because we can't break the tablet, so I tend to dose at 0.2mg/kg - 0.3 mg/kg (instead of 0.5mg/kg)
- So, his more appropriate dose is 7.3 mg- we round up to 8mg.
- The 50- 100# dose is 23mg.
-
- The 26-50 # dose is 11.5mg. It's the next size down.
- 11.5mg divided by 36.4 = 0.3 mg/kg dose so we're good!
- Note: The lower dose does not protect against hookworms according to the study, so you would need to be aware of this. Any dog with a history of hookworms needs the higher dose until 100% clear on antigen testing.

Is losing the will to eat akin to losing the will to live? What happens when we totally lose our appetite and outsource our willpower to GLP-1 agonists? It's no surprise that we are not fans of semaglutide medications and feel that redefining your relationship with food is a far superior strategy for sustained weight loss. Tune in to hear us explore the idea that these drugs literally take away one’s will to live by driving anorexia and starvation.
In this episode, we discuss the mechanisms of GLP-1 agonists and how they cause loss of appetite. We discuss alternatives such as a high protein, polyphenol rich diet and a food as medicine keto approach which can naturally stimulate GLP-1. Learn about how the microbiome affects GLP-1, how you can use berberine to augment weight loss, and how including foods like green tea, curcumin and fresh herbs can aid in appetite regulation.

Did you know that a 5 oz serving of french fries contains the same amount of carcinogens you would get from smoking 20-25 cigarettes? Join us as we interview Dr. Cate Shanahan about her new book DARK CALORIES: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Get It Back.
In DARK CALORIES, Cornell-trained biochemist-turned-family physician Cate Shanahan explains how a group of eight little-known oils cause the cellular damage that underlies virtually all chronic disease, exposes the corruption that deceives doctors and consumers into eating them, and gives us a clear roadmap to recovery and rejuvenation. We dig into the health implications including how vegetable oils cause mitochondrial toxicity and obesity, cancer, and more. We explore the nuances of the omega 3 vs omega 6 ratio, whether sunflower oil is a better choice, and how to navigate dining out!
About Dr. Cate Shanahan:
Cate Shanahan, MD is a Cornell-trained physician-scientist whose works have inspired entire movements involving bone broth, live-culture ferments, and seed oil-free business empires. Together with NBA legend Gary Vitti, she created the LA Lakers PRO Nutrition program, which has been emulated by elite championship teams around the world. She has dedicated her career to exposing the truth about a decades old campaign of health misinformation and opening the door to an honest conversation about how anyone can reclaim their health. She runs a health-education website, DrCate.com, a telehealth practice, and lives with her family on a peaceful lake in Florida.

Bloating is so common that it is often accepted as the norm, but we’re here to tell you it is NOT normal to feel bloated, distended, and uncomfortably full all the time. Bloating can indicate a deeper root cause of microbiome imbalance, food sensitivities, digestive enzyme inadequacy and more. In this episode, we unpack some of the drivers of bloat as well as tried and true solutions, plus we’ll talk through a typical day of eating on a gut cleanse.
In this episode, we discuss 5 ways to beat the bloat, including of course our Beat the Bloat Gut Cleanse. You still have time to join us if you’re listening live (and if not, there’s always the archive option!). Learn about the function of digestive enzymes and whether replacing them will cause your body to produce less on its own, how probiotics in and of themselves can reduce bloating, and how to discern whether food sensitivities might be causing your bloat.

Do you have a parasite? Are all parasites bad and does everyone need to do a parasite cleanse? In this episode we talk all about parasites! We cover what they are, symptoms of infection, how to treat them…and quite frankly how many people in the wellness space are going overboard with the topic!

We discuss testing for parasites, how some can actually benefit the human body, and our favorite research backed natural compounds to treat a parasitic infection.

Are you using almond butter, almond milk, or almond flour as a household staple? We don’t want to burst your bubble, but in this episode we discuss concerns with glyphosate and almonds as over 85% of almonds are treated with this chemical. Go down the rabbit hole with us as we discuss glyphosate, oxalates, the environmental impact of almonds, and so much more.
In today’s episode we will cover our honest take on almonds and how we plan to make shifts in our households as well as covering concepts of oxalates and anti-nutrients, if blanching matters and some potentially better alternatives.

We’ve alluded to glyphosate and Roundup Ready GMO crops in many episodes but we haven’t taken the time to really dig deep and ensure our audience is well educated on true exposure, health risk, and most importantly that we are able to leave them empowered with how to use nutrients and food-as-medicine to defend against the likely exposure.
In today’s important episode we explain the molecular structure of glyphosate, its use in big ag, the impact on the human body, increases in exposure over these last two decades and most importantly what you can do to protect your body and your household. From fulvic acid and soil play, to rebooting your microbiome, to glycine supplementation, to broccoli sprouts and beyond we will cover how to be resilient from this man made disaster!

Have you heard the buzz about the new Netflix docuseries, You Are What You Eat? Has another friend told you they are thinking about going vegan “for health reasons”? Not to worry, we watched the docuseries and read the study so you don’t have to! Tune in to hear us give our hot take on the Vegan vs. Omnivore Identical Twin study.
In this episode, we respond to the Stanford Vegan Twin study and the docuseries that came out of it. We cover the actual results of the study which were not impressive, how the results were misconstrued in the docuseries, and what actually happened to study participants in terms of their metabolic health and body composition! Plus we discuss B-12 deficiency, why TMAO isn’t as simple as the docuseries makes it out to be, and why we always have to follow the money when it comes to pieces like this.

Want to know how a simple blood test can tell you exactly what to supplement with and what foods to focus on? Tune in to learn about micronutrient testing--from the mechanisms of testing, to why you might be deficient in the first place, to how you can use this data to optimize and thrive!

Testing micronutrients can play a turnkey role in your wellness as we can see beyond the nutrient itself and see the story of the deficiency trends to address the root cause of imbalance. Plus we’ll explore case studies, from a postmenopausal woman to a carnivore to someone dealing with chronic fatigue and brain fog and discuss actual interventions that made a world of difference for these clients!

More about Kim McHugh:
Kim McHugh is the first Certified Tea Blending Master in the state of Texas and one of only a handful of Certified Tea Masters nationwide. She has certifications from The Specialty Tea Institute and the American Tea Master Association. This love affair with tea was sparked by a series of life changing events and a devotion to learning, blending and tasting teas for over a decade. In 2013 she opened the first tea room in Bellaire, Texas, McHugh Tea Room and Gifts offering over 65 organic teas from around the world as well as tea-infused foods, tea classes, a Private Party Room, Afternoon Tea (“High Tea”) and full-service lunches served 6 days a week.
Prior to opening the doors to McHugh Tea Room, Kim was an Executive Senior Sales Director and public speaker for over 20 years. Her dedication to leadership and personal growth has evoked women to “push the boundaries”. Following her cosmetics career, she represented a medical device company which focused on women’s breast health. This further sparked her interest in tea as many surgeons she met with suggested that consuming tea is one of the “best dietary habits for cancer prevention”.
Kim focuses on the many uses of tea in food infusion and beauty regiments discovered by universities, hospitals and fellow tea enthusiasts. She now teaches about the miraculous health benefits, social aspects and the fascinating history of organic teas from around the world to private groups, companies, and her large following of loyal customers.
She has been featured by media outlets such as TeaTime magazine, Community Impact, The Buzz, Tea in Texas, Modern Luxury Bride, Voyage Magazine, CW 39, Fox 26 and even local libraries!
Kim has a humorous coaching style that transforms the way we think and feel about our health, our happiness and our busy lives. Her motto is…there is always a way to see your tea cup half full!

According to the CDC, 85% of people will get an HPV infection in their lifetime. Are there ways to naturally prevent and treat HPV? How does HPV infection turn into cervical cancer and what are the risks and benefits of the Gardasil shot? Tune in to hear us address this important issue, covering natural forms of treatment and how to address your primary risk factors.

Did you know that cell phone radiation is classified by the World Health Organization as a possible carcinogen, in the same category as lead, DDT and jet fuel? Are you aware that the US is currently operating with safety guidelines set in 1996 when it comes to cell phones and EMF radiation? Did you know that cell phones have fine print warnings explicitly stating they should be kept at a distance from your body? Tune in to hear us interview Theodora Scarato of Environmental Health Trust about cell phone radiation and EMF dangers and what we can do about them!
Published studies have documented health effects of cell phone radiation beyond cancer including risk of cellular stress, genetic damage, structural and functional reproductive changes, memory deficits, neurological disorders, headaches and more. Learn about the risks of cell phones and EMF, current efforts to improve regulations, and what you can do in your own household to protect your family.
Note: Our apologies for the sound quality on this episode due to technical difficulties. Ali and Becki are not as clear as they normally are, but our guest Theodora sounds great!
About Theodora Scarato:
Theodora Scarato MSW is Executive Director of Environmental Health Trust (EHT), a scientific think tank that publishes research and educates policymakers on environmental health issues.
EHT was the lead petitioner in a major lawsuit against the U.S. FCC which focused on several issues including the impact of telecommunications networks to human health and environment. In 2021 the US court of Appeals issued their judgment finding the FCC broke the law as they had not shown adequate review of the scientific evidence. The FCC was ordered by the court to address the science they ignored which included links between cell phone radiation and memory and fertility impacts. The FCC was also ordered to address long term exposure, children’s vulnerability, and wildlife impacts.
Scarato has co-authored several publications in the field of environmental health and policy and maintains EHT’s renowned EMF international policy database. Scarato has lectured at the National Institutes of Health, the University of California San Francisco and several international conferences. She has testified to the New Hampshire State 5G Commission as well as the Maine, New Hampshire and Maryland legislature. She has worked on various issues from technology, to breast cancer prevention to lead contaminated water.

Want to have your mind absolutely blown? Tune in to hear us interview Kate Kavanaugh, farmer, butcher, nutritionist, and overall badass! We heard Kate speak at the What Good Shall I Do Conference out at Roam Ranch and have had a total intellectual crush on her ever since.
In this episode, we discuss why death is an essential part of the life cycle and how there is no such thing as a deathless diet. Kate describes in beautiful detail why we literally are what we eat and connects the dots between the microorganisms and minerals in our soil, the amino acids in meat, and the way that these nourish our bodies and connect us to a world much greater than ourselves.
About Kate Kavanaugh:
Kate Kavanaugh is a farmer, butcher, nutrition therapist, and host of the Mind, Body, and Soil Podcast. She saw first hand the power of meat to heal her own body and in seeking out farmers and ranchers raising meat with holistic practices, she found the power of meat to heal land, too. In 2013, she opened Western Daughters Butcher Shop in Denver, Colorado. Kate is now host of the Mind, Body, and Soil podcast where she is devoted to digging in deep with guests, finding the threads of what it means to be humans woven into this earth. In her spare time, Kate raises goats, pigs, cows, and poultry on a small farm in upstate New York.

Have you ever gotten an IV nutrient drip? Tempted by the promises of better energy, clearer skin, clearing a hangover, or improving your immunity? Before you go out and spend hundreds of dollars on an IV drip at one of the trendy “drip bars”, you need to listen to this episode! We discuss the health claims and evidence (or lack thereof), risks and safety concerns, and whether or not we are on board with IV nutrient therapy.
In this episode, we discuss the buzzworthy trend of IV nutrient therapy. While it may sound promising to have a megadose of vitamins infused directly into your veins, there are some serious drawbacks and limitations to this type of infusion. Some nutrients in these infusions are in poor quality forms, while others are coupled with preservatives and parabens that may do more harm than good. Learn about risks and benefits, who should absolutely not get an IV drip, and why we prefer high quality oral supplementation.

Tune in to hear us discuss the topic of chrononutrition and how you can time your food, exercise, sleep and other activities to best sync up to your natural rhythm.

What the BLEEP is actually going on in our food system? How can you protect your household from rising prices, unhealthy and unnatural food, and food shortages? Between cell cultured meat, gene-editing technology, GMOs, and fires occurring in processing plants on a regular basis, our food system is under attack like never before. Tune in to hear us discuss our concerns as well as what you can do to prepare your household.

Have you heard of Breast Implant Illness? If you have implants, could they be making you sick? Tune in to hear us interview Dr. Robert Whitfield, a board certified plastic surgeon and expert in breast implant illness who now performs more explants than implants!
Breast Implant Illness (BII), according to Dr. Whitfield, is driven by an inflammatory response to the breast implant itself, or to bacteria (biofilms) that may grow on the breast implant surface or within the scar capsule. This inflammation can create a wide range of symptoms that patients experience after getting breast implants. In this episode, we dig into symptoms to look out for including chronic fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, joint pain and more. We discuss who is most susceptible to breast implant illness, how to determine if BII is driving your symptoms, when to consider explant and how you can support your body for best surgical outcomes.
Dr. Whitfield’s Bio:
Dr. Whitfield is an experienced, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. He completed six years of surgical training at Indiana University Medical Center. He remained at the Indiana University Medical Center to complete his Plastic Surgery Residency and gained additional training in Microsurgery and Aesthetic Surgery. He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and the American Medical Association.
Dr. Whitfield focuses on providing clients with nutritional guidance, nutraceutical advice, personal genetic predisposition screening, non-invasive radio frequency, minimally invasive radio frequency and surgical options for treatments all over the body. He has completed over 5000 breast procedures since 2004 including over 1100 breast implant removals with and without holistic transformations with fat transfer. He has the largest series of explant specimens with PCR testing. While serving as the President Elect of the Research Foundation he gave testimony at the FDA hearings in 2019 regarding Breast Implant Illness.

Are you losing hair? Wondering how much loss is normal and when to be concerned? Looking for natural solutions to regrow healthy hair? Tune in to hear us discuss hair loss and thinning, from the cycles of hair growth, to why your hair might be falling out, to what you can do about it from a functional medicine perspective!
By age 50, over half of women will complain of hair loss and by age 35 we can see this impacting over 60% of men.

Have you heard the new guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics on childhood obesity? If you have, you are likely as astounded and outraged as we are to hear drug therapy and bariatric surgery recommended to children as a way to manage the growing problem of childhood obesity. Tune in to hear us break down the new guidelines and offer sustainable, cost-affordable solutions for families.
Obesity currently affects about 20% of children and 42% of adults, and we agree this is a problem that needs to be faced head on. However, recommending drugs and weight loss surgery to children without offering any guidance on diet and exercise is just not a sustainable solution. In fact, the AAP guidance could have devastating effects on children while, no surprise, driving big profits for pharma. Learn how carb awareness, low carb, and detox support can be appropriate for overweight and obese children, creating whole body wellness for a lifetime. Plus we discuss the role of nutrient deficiency, essential supplementation, exercise and more in combating this multifaceted issue.

With all of the new non-caloric sweeteners coming to market like monkfruit and allulose, has our position changed? Are we still a hard no on non-caloric sweeteners? When something sounds too good to be true, it usually is…spoiler alert: we still hate non-caloric sweeteners and recommend against their use! Tune in to learn why!
In this episode, we unpack new research on the impacts of non-caloric sweeteners. From their impact on insulin secretion to the way they can wreak havoc on the microbiome to how they can trick the palate and actually cause weight gain, we tell you the whole truth about these substances and why they have no business in your body! Plus learn how our keto approach allows for use of real food sweeteners and hear why using a banana or raw honey in a recipe might not kick you out of ketosis!

Did you know that testosterone is on the decline, particularly in American men?! What is causing this rapid decline and is this a threat to the future of the human population? What are the top killers of testosterone and how can we rebound? What foods, lifestyle shifts and nutrients can support healthy testosterone levels? Tune in to hear us answer all this and more in this important episode!
Testosterone levels have steadily declined in the U.S. over the past few decades, leaving the average 70 year old American male with significantly lower levels than a 100 year old Okinawan male by comparison. Not only have levels declined relative to men in other countries, American men have seen a more rapid decline year over year, leaving men who turned 65 in 2002 with substantially lower levels than men who turned 65 in 1987, for example. In this episode, we’ll take a deep dive into these trends and discuss drivers of low testosterone, from poor diet to sedentary lifestyles to Vitamin D deficiency and so much more.

Can MS and other neurological conditions be impacted by diet and lifestyle? Do vegetables help or hurt when dealing with autoimmune disease? What needs to be removed from the diet in order to create whole body healing? Tune in to hear us interview the one and only Dr. Terry Wahls about her journey from tilt-recline wheelchair back to riding a bike to work daily and how she used a paleo diet to beat MS.
In this episode, we discuss supplementation with MS, why The Wahls Protocol includes 9 cups of vegetables, and how to improve vegetable tolerance. Plus, we talk about Dr. Wahl’s research and an opportunity to participate in her upcoming study!
About Dr. Wahls:
Dr. Terry Wahls is a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa where she conducts clinical trials. She is also a patient with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, which confined her to a tilt-recline wheelchair for four years. Dr. Wahls restored her health using a diet and lifestyle program she designed specifically for her brain and now pedals her bike to work each day. She is the author of The Wahls Protocol: How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine, The Wahls Protocol: A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions Using Paleo Principles (paperback), and the cookbook The Wahls Protocol Cooking for Life: The Revolutionary Modern Paleo Plan to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions.
She conducts clinical trials that test the effect of nutrition and lifestyle interventions to treat MS and other progressive health problems. Learn more about Dr. Wahls’ clinical trials here. She also teaches the public and medical community about the healing power of the Paleo diet and therapeutic lifestyle changes that restore health and vitality to our citizens. She hosts a Wahls Protocol Seminar every August where anyone can learn how to implement the Protocol with ease and success. Follow her on Facebook (Terry Wahls MD) and on Twitter at @TerryWahls.

Oh, oh, oh Ozempic? By now you’ve probably heard the catchy jingle on TV or heard about the newest weight loss drug phenomenon that has the Kardashians looking downright skinny these days. But what exactly is Ozempic? Is it safe? Does it have side effects and is it a solution for long lasting weight loss or just another too good to be true ploy by big pharma? Tune in to hear us answer all these questions and more!
In this episode, we break down the mechanism of action of Ozempic or Wegovy. You will learn all about GLP-1, how this peptide is normally produced in the body, and how overriding the body’s signals with this injectable drug can be downright dangerous. Plus, we’ll compare this “wonder drug” to a food-as-medicine ketosis approach and teach you why the quick fix isn’t always the best solution!

Tune in to hear us discuss the research supported benefits of spending time in nature, from reduction of cortisol, to improved immune function, to increased antioxidant function and more!

Tammy Kattner has always had a deep love and passion for the natural world.

Tammy is a mother of five children who have always been her inspiration for a more natural world. She enjoys bee-keeping her apiary at the farm, loving on her sweet Golden Doodle farm dog, and connecting with nature as she develops the farm culture while teaching a more sustainable & natural way of living.

More about Robert Sikes:
Robert Orion Sikes is a lifetime natural, competitive bodybuilder. He started training as a junior in high school weighing a whopping 115 pounds. In the beginning, he followed traditional, “bro-dieting” wisdom which consisted of eating 6 or 7 meals a day filled with carbohydrates and very high protein. This nutritional protocol led to a downward spiral of health issues and disordered eating.
After his third bodybuilding competition, Robert decided to try something new and began experimenting with a high fat, strict ketogenic approach to bodybuilding. He formulated his own approach to contest prep nutrition leveraging keto and earned his pro-status with bodybuilding in 2017.
He has since dedicated his life to learning and teaching others the benefits of following a well formulated, ketogenic lifestyle. The lessons learned led to his creation of the Keto Brick, a 1,000 calorie, ketogenic performance meal. The Brick was never meant to be a product sold to the public. Robert just created it for his own personal use during his competition prep. However, after featuring it on a YouTube video, he received a ton of interest around the Brick and decided to jump in with both feet to make it into a viable business. After countless late nights and a never ending grind, the business took off and has since become a wild success!
Robert now works alongside his wife Crystal and their amazing team to continually create content and Bricks and add a ton of value within this community. His mission is, and will continue to be, empowering others to believe in themselves and truly tap into their full potential by optimizing their body and mind.

“We all say we would die for our children--but would you LIVE for your children?” Matt Beaudreau really got us thinking with that one…and so much more solid gold he delivers in this episode. As the founder of Acton Academy, a school that utilizes the Socratic method, Matt might just be one of our very favorite podcast guests to date! Tune in to hear us pick his brain on intentional parenting, instilling personal responsibility, and raising free range kids while avoiding the dangerous traps of conveyor belt schooling!
In this episode, we interview Matt on where education has gone wrong, the difference between systemic schooling and real education, and how to unschool our kids. Learn how he started a school based on self-direction and asking questions that completely bucks the norm of education in this country and be inspired to make shifts in your parenting to support character development and independence.
More About Matt Beaudreau:
As a Keynote Speaker, Consultant, and Coach to organizations around the world, Matt has a reputation as a provocative thought leader in educational and personal development practices. He is a two-time featured TEDx speaker and he was named Corporate Trainer of the Year at Stanford University, having spoken to over 250,000 people across the world.
In 2017, Matt Beaudreau Founded Acton Academy Placer; a school that utilizes the Socratic method, with an emphasis on self-direction and cultivating confident, independent young people with a strong sense of character and personal responsibility. He has since helped to open multiple campuses around the world.
Pulling from his experience in the Acton model, in January of 2021, Matt co-founded Apogee Strong with Tim Kennedy, a mentorship program designed for young men from 12 to 22 to take on challenges presented by men who have come before them, in order to learn to lead.

Can cured meat, more specifically salami, possibly be healthy? What should you look for when selecting cured meat? How often can you eat it? Tune in to hear us answer these questions and more in this interview with Anthony and Kazmira Pedonesi of The Salumeria.
The Salumeria provides the most nutritious pork based protein in the form of salumi. Their hogs are peacefully grazing on a 250-acre pasture in Rockdale, Texas. In this episode, you will learn how Anthony has carried on a family tradition while shifting to regenerative farming practices and creating a cured meat product that you can safely eat every day! From the diet of their hogs, to the swiss chard used in curing, to the attention to detail in all their recipes, this family business story will inspire you and leave your mouth watering!
More about The Salumeria:
Anthony comes from a long line of salumi makers, originating in Rome, Italy. His family bartered and traded for other goods with their salumi. After many hard years in IT and finance, Anthony and Kazmira decided to take the leap into the family business as their son Declan was eager to learn the ropes.
Whether it was a young Anthony making salami with his father on the picnic table with a hand crank meat grinder, or a young Gerardo butchering a goat with his uncle for a festive occasion. The Salumeria was born inside of its founders at a young age. Traditions and recipes passed down for generations have inspired us.
The experience as children seeded a romantic idea of sharing this craft, but it was having our own families that solidified the need to build a salumeria. Taking what we had learned and turning it into a passion for our children has become the greatest adventure of our lives.
We don’t measure success by how many pounds of salumi leave the curing chamber, but rather how much joy we observe in our children as the meat cures. The Salumeria has become synonymous with la famiglia, and we are happy to invite your family to be a part of ours.

Tune in to hear us discuss the science behind the exercise vs. diet debate, whether your FitBit is accurately capturing calorie burn, and how to support sustainable weight loss!

Do you struggle with cravings? Find yourself falling off your clean keto from time to time? Are you in need of a reboot of your habits? Tune in to hear us unpack the deep emotional and physical roots of cravings as well as how you can work to create new habits and patterns that are supportive of your wellness goals!
In this episode, we address what is actually happening in the brain during a craving and how neurotransmitters play a major role. We discuss interventions for common imbalances such as low dopamine and gaba so that instead of white-knuckling a craving or giving in, you have tools to correct deficiencies in your body. We also cover several nutrient deficiencies that can cause you to crave specific foods (hello, magnesium and chocolate!). Hear us walk through a 5 step plan for establishing healthy habits and get recipe inspiration for snacks that can curb cravings!

We’ve all heard about the dangers of too much estrogen, from estrogen dominance driving PMS and undesirable symptoms to estrogen related cancers. But did you know that having too little estrogen can also be problematic? Tune in to learn about why you NEED estrogen from supporting healthy skin, to fertility, to bone health and beyond.
In this episode, Ali and Becki discuss the many roles of estrogen in the body and the ways that estrogen can become deficient well before menopause or perimenopause. Learn about common symptoms of low estrogen including irregular cycles, depression, low sex drive, and frequent UTIs. We also discuss the estrogen and bone loss connection, cardiovascular concerns with both too much and too little estrogen, and so much more! And of course we cover food as medicine to help boost estrogen levels as well as supplements that can support balanced hormones.

Are you curious about the ongoing work of opposing medical mandates? Want to hear from someone on the inside of what is going on in New York? Curious what the research says about nutrients and COVID? Tune in to hear us interview Chris Masterjohn, PhD in Nutritional Sciences on his recent work standing against mandates in New York, how iron and arginine can help long haulers, the issues with vaccine “studies” and beyond!
In this episode, Ali and Becki interview Chris about anything and everything from his deep dive research into nutrients that prevent and support COVID to how vaccine research is fundamentally flawed. Learn about what he is seeing in New York and how you can get involved in the medical freedom fight!
More about Chris:
Chris earned his PhD in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Connecticut. He served as a postdoctoral research associate in the Comparative Biosciences department of the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Illinois. He was also an Assistant Professor of Health and Nutrition Sciences at Brooklyn College.
In the fall of 2016, he made the decision to leave academia and pursue entrepreneurship a transition he completed on January 1, 2017. He is currently conducting independent research, consulting, working on information products, collaborating on information and technology products, and producing tons of free content to help people gain better health. He has deep and personal experiences with the power of food, movement, and mindfulness to support health and well being. Chris wants to take what he’s learned and pay it forward. He is constantly learning from his own challenges, failures, and successes, and by scouring the scientific literature, whether uncovering long-forgotten and neglected evidence from yesteryear or following and deciphering the latest findings.

Are you starting to worry about signs of aging? Want to know what you can do to stay young in body and mind? Looking for solutions to support brain health, cognitive clarity, muscle loss and more? Tune in to part one of our two part podcast series on aging gracefully! While we can’t turn back the clock or outrun aging altogether, there are some simple diet and lifestyle tweaks that we can make to slow down the process and extend the number of healthy years!
In this episode, we cover signs of early aging from joint pain to wrinkles to insomnia and make the case for an anti-inflammatory diet, abundant antioxidants, and a low carb lifestyle to feeling your best as the years tick by. Learn what foods can negatively impact your telomeres (the caps on our DNA that dictate aging), how keto can be incredibly supportive of cognitive function and longevity, and how exercise can help slow the clock.

Do you deal with endometriosis, adenomyosis, painful sex or period drama? Often we only think about the uterus, or womb, as the place where a baby grows when a woman is pregnant. But various forms of autoimmune, inflammatory, hormone imbalance, and even conditions such as thyroid problems can drive problems in this important organ. Learn about endometriosis, adenomyosis, painful sex, fibroids and more.
In this episode, we discuss the symptoms, diagnosis and root causes of endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids and beyond. Learn how oxidative stress can play a major role and how antioxidants like curcumin and n-acetyl cysteine can play a major role in reducing symptoms. We share our best supplement strategy for endometriosis, discuss how toxicity and microbiome play a role, and of course discuss food-as-medicine recommendations for managing pain and resolving from the root cause.

More About Allison & Branch Basics:
In high school Allison was diagnosed with PCOS and suffered chronic, mysterious pain through college. After years of seeing medical specialists and a laundry list of drugs, Allison was desperate for relief and turned to her Aunt Marilee in the Texas Hill Country. After two months at Marilee’s, eating only real food, using safe products, and staying in a healthy home, her life was transformed. Eventually her ovarian cysts disappeared, and she was able to get pregnant naturally...three times! Allison has dedicated herself to helping others reap the benefits of clean living.
Started Branch Basics along with her partners Marilee and Kelly to help people toss the toxins and live heathy lives. They start with the removal of cleaning products that contain some of the most toxic chemicals found in our homes and work to get people back to the basics and discover the power of Pure.
Branch Basics non-toxic cleaning products were created with the most sensitive in mind. They clean powerfully using only the highest quality, plant-based ingredients.

Did you know that a ketogenic diet can support immune health? Beyond its tried and true benefits of weight loss, fertility, and enhanced neurological health, keto has multiple mechanisms that reduce inflammation in the body. In fact, keto can reduce certain inflammatory chemicals including inflammasomes, it can enhance cell membrane health and can even reduce CRP by 35-40%. What’s more, there is a direct relationship between ketones and T Cell function including enhanced production and specificity of these long term players of the immune system.
In this episode, we unpack the many benefits of the ketogenic diet on the immune system and get into the nitty gritty research of how a ketogenic diet can be used as a clinical tool for restoring and maintaining metabolic and immune health. We also unpack the taboo topic of n@tural immunitee (did you know it is a banned hashtag?!) Learn how to rev up your immune system using keto along with targeted supplementation and how you can make your terrain resilient to whatever viru$ comes our way next!

Do you know your Vitamin D level? Vitamin D plays an essential role in the human body but is most known for its role in the immune system. Unlike other vitamins, we get only about 10% of the Vitamin D we need from diet and the rest needs to be made by the body. Between genetic SNPs, lack of sun exposure, obesity and inflammation it is no wonder over 40% of the American population is deficient in this nutrient. Tune in to hear Ali and Becki discuss functions of Vitamin D from immune health to hormone balance to metabolic health and beyond.
In this episode, Ali and Becki unpack the robust function of vitamin D as well as its role in the pandemic. Learn about ideal reference ranges for Vitamin D (deficiency is considered 20 ng/mL and below in mainstream medicine), how over 700 research studies provide data supporting the use of Vitamin D for DIVOC, and considerations of supplementation and sun exposure. We round things out with some discussion of the variants (dun, dun, dun…), changes to PCR testing and the case for natural immunity.

If the past 1.5 years have had a dynamic impact on your day to day stress, you’re not alone! We know that chronic, unresolved stress can drive serious bodily damage and we now know that it can impact us to the level of our genetic expression. Tune in to hear Ali and Becki discuss the imprint of stress on neuroendocrine, cardiovascular and emotional response and how you can stop stress in its tracks using diet, lifestyle and supplement interventions.
In this episode, Ali and Becki unpack common symptoms of HPA-axis imbalance and adrenal dysfunction, from digestive distress to elevated blood sugar and difficulty achieving ketosis to chronic inflammation and beyond. Beyond driving chronic disease expression, stress can halt fertility, hinder weight loss, and even drive increased susceptibility to illness via its impact on the immune system. Learn how to harness your body’s stress response using yummy food as medicine interventions like our Maca Walnut Caramels and Sweet Potato Avocado Toast, how supplementation can ebb and flow based on current stressors and why you may want to reconsider your morning coffee!

Are your prescriptions driving micronutrient deficiency? Want to know more about how prescription medications can drive imbalance? Curious how you can support the body while taking certain medications or avoid them altogether with strategic supplementation? Tune in to hear Ali and Becki discuss common drugs prescribed in the US from birth control to PPIs to statins to antidepressants and beyond.
In this episode, Ali and Becki discuss how prescriptions can be used as a band-aid approach, often neglecting underlying issues and worsening health over time. This is only compounded by polypharmacy or the use of multiple medications with 70% of Americans on one medication and 20% taking 2 or more! While it can be tempting to prescribe a pill to fix an ill, functional medicine interventions can actually get to the root cause of dysfunction and support whole body health. Learn about the most common nutrient deficiencies, why prescriptions fall short of solutions and how focusing on strategic supplementation can eliminate the need for medication in the first place.

Do you deal with reflux or heartburn? Want to know how to manage these conditions without medication? Heartburn and acid reflux can be extremely uncomfortable causing pressure and pain in the chest, ribs, and irritating the esophagus!

What is even more alarming is the number of people on acid suppressing drugs and oftentimes with no understanding of their harmful side effects and unknowing that they can actually resolve the chronic condition.
In this episode Ali and Becki talk about the reasons heartburn and reflux occur, why prescriptions and OTCs do more harm than good, and how to resolve reflux and heartburn with targeted nutrients and food-as-medicine solutions. Learn clinical pearls on the use of digestive enzymes, l-glutamine, mucilaginous compounds and how to get off your prescription for good!

Are you dealing with symptoms of estrogen dominance such as bloating, breast tenderness, irregular cycles or moodiness? Wonder if your hormones are to blame for headaches, anxiety, increased belly fat or even hair loss? Tune in to learn why estrogen dominance is so common, how everyday exposures to things like plastic and perfume can contribute and how you can support optimal hormone balance.
Estrogen dominance is either the excess of estrogen circulating in the body OR the dominance of estrogen due to insufficient countering hormones including progesterone for women and testosterone for men. This hormonal imbalance is especially common when dealing with rapid weight gain or weight loss, hormonal birth control use and exposure to toxins and endocrine disruptors and can impact women at any stage from cycling to menopausal as well as men. Tune in to learn about the symptoms and causes of estrogen dominance and how to reduce exposures in your day to day life. Plus we walk you through our Estrogen Dominance Protocol and detail supplement, lifestyle and food-as-medicine recommendations.

Concerned about current issues in medical freedom and choice with the c0vid v@xxine coming down the pipeline? Want to know how you can get involved in the medical autonomy movement? Tune in to hear Ali and Becki interview Jackie Schlegal and Rebecca Hardy of Texans for V@xxine Choice about their important work protecting and advancing informed consent, medical privacy and choice.
In this episode, Ali and Becki interview Jackie and Rebecca about their activism through Texans for V@xxine Choice. Jackie and Rebecca have dedicated their lives to protecting medical liberties and turned a group of passionate mamas into a true movement to support parents in making informed choices for their children. Learn about current legislation in the area of v@xxines and what is at stake in Texas and nationwide and get insight into how you can get involved on a community level.
About Texans for v@xxine Choice:
As a speech-language pathologist, Rebecca has encountered many children with profound v@xxine injuries. These experiences created a passion for protecting others from these kinds of negative health outcomes, which she has turned into activism. Rebecca currently serves as its Director of State Policy for Texans for V@xxine Choice. Whether it’s meeting with legislators, drafting legislative strategy, or block-walking for candidates, Rebecca is dedicated to protecting medical liberties and informed consent for all Texans.
In 2015, when legislators were led astray and filed oppressive bills that would take away parental rights and v@xxine choice, Jackie Schlegel stepped up to the plate, said: "not on my watch,” and threw her hat into the political arena. In just four short years, she took a group of passionate moms and turned it into the epitome of grassroots activism, setting an unprecedented standard for the nation and even drawing worldwide attention.
That fledgling group of 20 is now a political action committee and educational foundation, with over 30,000 social media followers as well as 12,000+ official members who proudly align themselves with Texans for v@xxine Choice. Thanks to Jackie's endless energy and passion, this group is organized with local branches, core members, and team leaders impacting their schools, their communities, and their legislators. Her unshakable dedication inspires all members to have a laser focus on their mission of protecting and advancing informed consent, medical privacy, and v@xxine choice.

Here we are 1 year in and we know a lot more than we did from our last official coverage in February. In this episode we cover updates on masks, disinfectants, and lockdowns, as well as new studies demonstrating lack of efficacy and serious concerns. We also unpack the stats on death toll noting this year there has been no increase in total death count when comparing to prior years sharing the work of John Hopins research demonstrating a reclassification of deaths vs. deaths caused by coronavirus. Beyond classification of deaths, we cover the faulty testing being used to drive the case count.
This episode ensures you are empowered with the connection of susceptibility + infection = disease. The infection or exposure alone may not be significant as updated data demonstrates. However, the restrictions continue to tighten and threats loom into 2022?!? We question the narrative and call out medical incongruency with policy as well as cover food-as-medicine and supplement support.
Have you been infected with COVID? We cover the mechanisms of long-haulers and how to support the body in successfully resetting following exposure to rebound energy, reduce inflammation, and regain mental health. Also in this episode we discuss the roles of the medical industrial complex and how facts and clinical information that can serve the public is being blocked and deleted. Learn how you can support your body and be proactive in not just surviving but living your life to the fullest!

Have you attempted a gut cleanse or functional medicine treatment and felt terrible? So bad that you weren’t able to complete the protocol? In this episode we cover the topic of Herxheimer Reactions which are setbacks or symptom flares that occur during a treatment plan. In a gut cleanse, this is due to the endotoxins released by yeast and microbes when they break down during antifungal or antibiotic treatment. When the body becomes overburdened or overwhelmed by a sudden release of toxins the immune system goes on high alert, triggering systemic inflammation.
In this episode, Ali and Becki discuss how to cope with a gut cleanse as well as elimination diets and other functional approaches that can drive Herxheimer Reactions. They will cover the influence of the microbiome on disease and what can happen when pathogenic organisms are not regulated. Learn about the importance of anti-inflammatory and detox supporting compounds in supplements and diet as well as lifestyle support to aid in successful outcomes.

Is your child dealing with a diagnosis of ADHD or Autism? Looking for alternative approaches to medication for behavioral issues? Want to know how to best support neurological health, concentration and focus? Tune in to hear Ali and Becki discuss the rise of ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder, from conventional approaches to supporting optimal neurological and behavioral health in our children. In today’s episode we will cover primary irritants to avoid as well as foods to focus on and some root causes of imbalance including gut health, detoxification pathways, and nutritional deficiency trends.
In this episode, Ali and Becki discuss functional approaches to neurological and behavioral health from assessing common nutritional deficiencies, identifying food allergies or heavy metal toxicity, balancing blood sugar levels and providing nutrients for optimal cognitive function.
We take a whole body approach addressing mind with restructuring thought patterns and self-esteem building techniques, behavior with development of routine and consistency, and diet to ensure we can provide you with balanced support for optimal results. Some of the most over prescribed medications include methamphetamines to treat attention deficits, especially in kids.
But what is exciting is that we know that ADHD and other psychological disorders may be caused by dietary/digestive reasons and may be treated with food as medicine.

In light of the current pandemic, so much of the current narrative is focused on fear, increasing case counts and the ambiguous calls to flatten the curve by means of lockdown, social distancing and universal mask wearing. In this episode, we break down the importance of metabolic health in the context of the pandemic and do a deep dive on fact vs. fear with guest Dr. Paul Saladino. We also discuss considerations of an all meat diet and his newly revised book, The Carnivore Code.
In this episode, we interview Dr. Saladino on his perspective on why we need to flatten the fear and use this pandemic as an opportunity to correct the underlying metabolic issues that make us vulnerable to the virus. This isn’t the first, nor will it be the last, viral threat to humans and looking to deepen our understanding of how the immune system functions, how nutrients like Vitamin D and glutathione can support whole body health, and how insulin resistance is the real pandemic is being dangerously overlooked. Tune in to hear us discuss herd immunity, shortcomings of a vaccine and how we can tap into nature to create resilience. Plus hear all about Dr. Paul’s book, The Carnivore Code, where he debunks common misconceptions of a meat-based diet and shares his perspective on why plants might not be supportive of whole body health.

Histamine is involved in necessary immune processes to aid in battling foreign invaders or pathogens in the body, but when overproduced or when enzymes that aid in breakdown and removal are compromised, the body can become bombarded!
In this episode, Ali interviews guest, Dr. Becky Campbell, author of The 30-Day Thyroid Reset Plan and The 4-Phase Histamine Reset Plan to discuss how histamine intolerance can drive chronic illness and undesired symptoms including dermatitis, fatigue, migraines, heart palpitations, congestion, mood disorders, hormone imbalance and more! We will discuss the 2 primary enzymes involved in histamine breakdown diamine oxidase (DAO) and histamine N-menthyltransferase (HNMT) as well as conditions that interfere with enzyme activity and function. Learn about the stress-thyroid-adrenal-hormone connection to histamine intolerance and how gut dysbiosis can exacerbate the problems as well as the top high histamine foods to avoid when looking to reduce your body’s reactivity.

If you’re a longtime podcast listener, you’ve probably heard us mention the HPA-axis at least 100 times, if not in just about every episode. The hypothalamic, pituitary, adrenal feedback loop of your body’s stress response really is THAT important, hence Ali’s work in The Anti-Anxiety Diet. With many of us operating in fight or flight the majority of the time, it is more important than ever to understand how to dial in your HPA-axis and shift your body into rest and digest mode. Tune in to learn about the function of your HPA-axis as well as diet and lifestyle support for harnessing your body’s stress response!
In this episode, Ali and Becki unpack the hypothalamus and pituitary, two glands that may get overlooked with all the talk about the adrenals and cortisol in relation to stress. Go beyond the 101 level of understanding and learn exactly what these glands do, how they are connected and how you can best support optimal balance and harmony. Learn about the importance of limiting blue light, moving your body and curbing your caffeine intake to balance your stress response. Plus get food as medicine and supplement recommendations for supporting your HPA-axis (chocolate avocado maca pudding, anyone?!).

One of the most common questions we hear both in clinic and from podcast listeners is “but I already eat a squeaky clean keto or paleo diet, do I really need supplements?” The answer is YES as even individuals with the “perfect” diet can see micronutrient deficiency based on demand of their body during times of increased stress, injury, illness, pregnancy and beyond. There are so many factors that contribute as well to inability to absorb or utilize the nutrients we are consuming from genetic variants like MTHFR to gut integrity issues. Not to mention that we can even see inadequate intake of certain nutrients if restricting specific foods or based on changes in farming practices and sourcing. Tune in to hear Ali and Becki tackle common reasons for deficiency and how use of high dose nutrients can accelerate outcomes, support metabolic pathways and ultimately lead to optimal health!
In this episode, we cover the multitude of reasons that you need supplements to thrive in your body and how we use strategic supplementation both clinically and personally to get into superhuman mode. Whether looking to drive remission with autoimmune disease, optimize hormones, or just feel more resilient to stress, you will learn how we use functional targeted nutritional supplementation to yield clinical results. Plus learn how supplements can replace potentially harmful over the counter and prescription medications and actually address the root cause for ongoing resolution versus a bandaid quick-fix that will likely drive dysfunction down the line!

Did you know that the microbiome can have a dynamic influence on hormone levels and female fertility? Want to know why Ali just completed her third Beat the Bloat Cleanse? Dysbiosis or yeast and bacteria imbalance can wreak havoc on the body, not only causing GI disturbance and skin flares but it can also exacerbate conditions that lead to infertility such as endometriosis and PCOS. Tune in to find out what happened during Ali’s cleanse, how she dealt with dieoff symptoms and why berberine and aromatic essential oils should have a place in your supplement routine even when not doing a cleanse!
In this episode, Ali and Becki discuss the influence of the microbiome on disease and what can happen when pathogenic organisms take over. Beyond the common symptoms of bowel irregularity and skin conditions we can see mood influence, headaches, chronic fatigue and even autoimmune disease as common manifestations of dysbiosis. Learn why dysbiosis can occur in the first place, how to recognize and test, and why we created the Beat the Bloat protocol as a microbiome reset.

The ketogenic diet is often seen as a “radical” approach but in actuality ketosis is a natural metabolic state that is necessary for survival. Not only that, ketosis enhances quality of life and whole body health via its neurological, inflammatory and metabolic benefits. Tune in to hear Ali and Becki break down their approach to real food keto and how you can use ketosis as medicine to achieve optimal health.
In this episode, Ali and Becki discuss the polarizing nature of the ketogenic diet and break down why keto is NOT a new or novel approach. In reality, getting into a state of ketosis is an adaptive mechanism and human beings are designed to be hybrids in order to survive in times of lack of food. That said, not all ketogenic diets are created equal and the use of keto products riddled with non-caloric sweeteners and GMO corn derivatives have no place in a real food diet. Learn about new research in the application of the ketogenic diet for neurological conditions, mood disorders and beyond and how our balanced approach to keto can support your health goals!

More About Sharon Brown:
Sharon Brown is the Founder and President of Bonafide Provisions. Sharon’s journey in the food business began when she healed her son from chronic health issues using real food and bone broth. This life-changing experience compelled Sharon to become a certified Clinical Nutritionist and open a private practice in Del Mar, California. Within one year, Sharon had a client wait list four months long. People were desperate to heal, and bone broth was a cornerstone of Sharon’s protocol. Unfortunately, making bone broth properly can be time consuming and expensive. There was no commercially available bone broth that met Sharon’s standards, so she enlisted the help of her husband, a professionally trained chef, to help her make bone broth for her clients. But changing her clients’ lives was not enough. Sharon believed that the healing power of bone broth should be available to everyone and, so, Bonafide Provisions was born. Bonafide Provisions is the pioneer of traditionally-made bone broth and it’s currently the #1 selling frozen bone broth in the nation. From her nutrition practice to her healing foods company, Sharon’s mission has and always will be: to bring abundant wellness to the world by returning to the wisdom and traditions of our ancestors.

If you’ve been dying to know more about what goes on behind the scenes beyond the instagram stories, this episode is for you!

The vegan agenda strikes again, this time with the film The Game Changers that posits a vegan diet as superior for athletic performance and as the ultimate human diet. A film founded on junky science and vegan dogma like this comes out every year or so and this one is no exception with its straight up lack of evidence, sexy graphics and “real life” stories of lives transformed by a vegan diet. If you haven’t watched it, save yourself the two hours and instead tune to hear Ali and Becki’s take on the film’s main points, how Big Food is getting in bed with the vegan movement and why animal protein has a place in an optimal, whole food based approach.
In this episode, Ali and Becki dig in to the problematic nature of this film, from funding by a major pea protein company to the highly unscientific “experiments” meant to convince viewers that a vegan diet is the way of the future. Instead of a nerdy scientific point by point discussion, tune in for a balanced conversation around the brokenness of our food system and why opting out of animal products is not the answer. Learn about unique attributes only found in animal products, why bioavailability matters and how animals can be part of a sustainable food system that is ultimately the only way to save the planet. Plus, hear us read the ingredient lists of some of the new vegan frankenfoods on the market and learn why these have no business going in your body!

Your body is wired with the ability to detoxify via the liver and the kidneys supported by excretion through urine, sweat, and stool; however many of us are in a state of overload from the 6+ billion pounds of toxins released in our environment annually. Taking the time to nourish this process both by clean eating and an abundance of the nutrients that support phase 1 and 2 biochemical processes aids in supporting optimal metabolism and whole body health.
In this episode of the Naturally Nourished podcast, Ali and Becki discuss why you need to do a 10-day detox and how your body’s detox pathways work as well as the nutrients required to support them. When your body loses weight or body fat the adipocytes (fat cells) release toxins, often endocrine disruptors which can then wreak havoc on your metabolism, hormones, and neurological system often leading to a new undesired symptom or weight loss stall. A sound protocol focuses on metabolic reset while supporting digestive function both to enhance nutrient absorption, support gut integrity and microbiome balance, as well as supporting antioxidant capacity and anti-inflammatory effects.
Ali will unpack the functional pathways of your body, sources of toxins, where plants fit, lifestyle support, and food-as-medicine to support detoxification. She also takes time to discuss hormesis or the impact of a stressor on the body to make it stronger in this episode speaking to the carnivore movement and anti-nutrients of plants, phytocompounds. Tune in to hear her approach on how bioflavonoids may serve as a stressor but if their outcomes are to support endogenous levels of glutathione and other well accepted beneficial compounds, there is an important place for them in our diet!

Episode 160: Neurotransmitters 101 Part 1
Have you heard of neurotransmitters but not exactly sure what they do or how they are made? Want to know what impact serotonin, gaba and acetylcholine have on the brain and body? Curious how you can support brain chemical balance with food as medicine, lifestyle and supplements? Tune in to hear Ali and Becki deconstruct the role of your neurotransmitters from mood support to anxiety reduction to sleep and so much more.
In this episode, Ali and Becki take a deep dive on 3 primary brain balancing chemicals--serotonin, gaba and acetylcholine. While serotonin is likely the most “known” neurotransmitter for its role in depression, your neurotransmitters act in a complex symphony of expression to support cognitive function, balanced mood, circadian rhythm and can even influence digestion and heart rhythm. Learn about the role of protein and probiotics in making your neurotransmitters, why B Vitamins are an essential cofactor for production and what foods can have a direct impact on your brain chemicals.

Maura & Danny Vega are the dynamic duo behind Fat Fueled Family. Maura—classically trained in ballet, contemporary and other forms of dance, learned the importance of discipline and consistency at an early age.
Danny was a lifelong football player who finished his career at Columbia University. Danny’s obsession from as early as five years old was strength and conditioning. He was able to pursue this obsession as a collegiate strength and conditioning coach, and now, he gets to spend his days learning and teaching others about various topics such as performance nutrition, building muscle, and lifestyle coaching.
Maura is just as passionate about these topics, however she also educates mothers and families on how to eat a proper diet and give the most nourishing nutrition available to their children. Together, they are on a mission to boycott kid’s menus and empower families to take a much more active role in their health vs. being dependent on the pharmaceutical/healthcare industrial complex. They cohost the fat fueled family podcast, a weekly podcast dedicated to five main topics:
Nutrition
Fitness
Mindset
Peaceful parenting
Unschooling

About Jeff Chilton:
Jeff Chilton, raised in Pacific Northwest, studied ethno-mycology at the University of Washington in the late sixties and started working on a commercial mushroom farm in Olympia, Washington in 1973. During the next 10 years he became the production manager, responsible for the cultivation of over 2 million pounds of agaricus mushrooms per year and was also involved in the research and development of shiitake, oyster and enoki mushrooms which resulted in the earliest US fresh shiitake sales in 1978.
In the late seventies he was a founder of Mycomedia, which held 4 mushroom conferences in the Pacific Northwest. These educational conferences brought together educators and experts in mushroom identification, ethnomycology, and mushroom cultivation.
During this period Jeff co-authored the highly acclaimed book, The Mushroom Cultivator, which was published in 1983.
In the 1980’s he operated a mushroom spawn business and in 1989 he started Nammex, a business that introduced medicinal mushrooms to the US nutritional supplement industry. He traveled extensively in China during the 1990’s, attending conferences and visiting research facilities and mushroom farms. In 1997 he organized the first organic mushroom production seminar in China.
Jeff’s company, Nammex was the first to offer a complete line of Certified Organic mushroom extracts to the US nutritional supplement industry. Nammex extracts are used by many supplement companies and are noted for their high quality based on scientific analysis of the active compounds.

More About Michelle Norris:
Michelle is a former corporate warrior, trained chef and multi-potentialite whose previous health issues and an extended battle with traditional medical advice inspired her to upend the way the world tackles health, wellness and prosperity.

All this, at the pit of the housing market crash of 2008. Her belief, you can always find beauty among the ashes.

Want to know our take on non-caloric sweeteners like stevia, monkfruit and erythritol? Have you wondered if these zero calorie “natural” options are too good to be true? Want to know why we don’t have a SINGLE recipe with non-caloric sweeteners? Tune in to hear Ali and Becki discuss this controversial topic live from KetoCon.
In this Episode Ali and Becki take on the topic of non-caloric sweeteners and why they have no place in a real food diet. From their highly processed nature to the impact on insulin and the gut microbiome, the emerging trend of keto-friendly desserts and treats might be more dangerous than we think. Ali emphasizes the focus on whole real foods in their least refined form and why it may be more reasonable to use minimal amounts of nutritive sweeteners while shifting your palate from an unnatural sweetness to channeling savory.

In this Episode, Ali and Becki take a deeper dive into epigenetics, nutrigenomics and genetic SNPs with leading expert Dr. Ben Lynch. Dr. Lynch received his Cell and Molecular Biology, BS from the University of Washington and his ND from Bastyr University. His passion for identifying the root cause of disease directed him towards nutrigenomics and methylation dysfunction and he delves deeper into this subject in his new book, Dirty Genes.

Have you ever heard yourself say “it’s in my genes so there’s nothing I can do”? Feel like your future health is beyond your control?

Tune in to hear Ali and Becki break down the topic of epigenetics and how you can control the way that your genes get expressed! Learn about how you can empower yourself by knowing your genetic predisposition and using targeted nutrients and lifestyle modifications to support best outcomes.
In this Episode, Ali and Becki break down the seemingly complex topic of epigenetics and go over the basics of genetic SNPs, methylation and what this all means for your health.

Can intermittent fasting really help you drop pounds of body fat, gain mental clarity and prevent cancer and alzheimer’s disease? Or is this all too good to be true? Curious if intermittent fasting is right for you or how to get started? Tune in to hear Ali and Becki break down the benefits of intermittent fasting, the basics for getting started and how to know if fasting will support your health goals!
In this Episode, Ali and Becki discuss the basics of intermittent fasting including how and why it is done, different types of fasts and how it can help to break old patterns of overeating and overconsumption! In modern society, access to food is a constant and we have gotten so far removed from the ancestral patterns of hunter gatherer society or feast and famine as a true reality. Intermittent fasting can help us to break away from this overfed model, but beyond a mindset shift it can also allow the body to use stored fat as fuel. Beyond weight loss, other benefits have been seen in cancer treatment, neurological disease and cognitive decline. Learn about tools that can support intermittent fasting, when fasting is appropriate and how this tool can be a part of an even bigger lifestyle shift toward using fat as fuel!

Can food be medicine to heal your brain? Hear from post-traumatic brain injury recovery victor Cavin Balaster on how he used nutritional therapy to not only survive a traumatic brain injury but to rediscover how to thrive!

Cavin Balaster Bio
In 2011 Cavin Balaster sustained a severe traumatic brain injury that left him comatose with less than a 10% chance of ever regaining consciousness beyond a persistent vegetative state. He didn’t eat, walk, or talk for months while he was in the hospital. He was breathing from a tube in his neck, receiving nutrition from a tube in his belly, and his left hand was completely flexed inward.
About a year after his injury, he was introduced to a nutritional protocol that helped him begin to regain some clarity. That’s when he dove into an intense study of why nutrition made such a difference. For over 6 years, he has devoted his life to studying metabolism, neurometabolism, mechanisms of neuroplasticity, neuroscience, and nutrition, while reaching out to doctors, researchers, practitioners, and neuroscientists, to learn everything he can to optimize his brain function and to maximize his recovery.
Cavin started an award-winning blog and a podcast “Adventures in Brain Injury”, where he interviews doctors, practitioners, researchers, and others involved in neurorehabilitation and brain function. He is soon to release a book called How to Feed a Brain, which is the culmination of the nutritional tools he has learned through this journey. Cavin wrote this book to share with others the nutritional information that has helped him to regain his brain function. While his recovery has been an astounding example for brain injury survivors, this book is not just for those with neurological conditions –it is for anyone wanting to improve their brains.

Are you dealing with unrelenting food cravings or food addiction? Not sure where to start to reset your relationship with food? Want to get to the bottom of the physiological and emotional drivers for your cravings? Tune in to hear Ali and Becki discuss the root causes for food cravings from neurotransmitter imbalance to micronutrient deficiency and the role of stress.
In this Episode, Ali and Becki drill into the physical and emotional reasons for food cravings and food addiction. Imbalanced neurotransmitters like dopamine or glutamate can actually drive addictive behavior and cravings for specific foods, while deficiencies in magnesium or essential fatty acids might be the culprit for others. Still others might be dealing with sleep deprivation, chronic stress or imbalanced gut bacteria or hormones as the achilles heel for their cravings. If you’ve ever felt out of control with your food cravings, this episode is jam-packed with practical solutions, suggestions for lab testing and supplements to get you back in control of your body and redefine your relationship with food for good!

Did you know that the microbiome is made up of 100 trillion cells of bacteria and yeast that line the mouth, skin and gut? Curious about the role they play in our health? Want to know how to make your bacteria work in your favor? Tune in to hear Ali and Becki go down the rabbit hole of the microbiome and discuss what happens in both a symbiotic (favorable) and dysbiotic (unfavorable) state.

In this episode, Ali and Becki dig into the complex topic of the microbiome and address how dysbiosis or overgrowth of bacteria occurs in the first place as well as the multitude of symptoms and conditions an unhealthy biome can drive. Our neurotransmitters, immune system and digestion are regulated by our living bacteria in the gut which means that dysbiosis can impact many systems of the body and have seemingly unrelated symptoms.

While a vegan diet may be seen as health promoting for some or for a short time, we often find that the diet throws the body into further imbalance, especially with regards to leaky gut and digestive disturbances, hormonal imbalance and risk for autoimmune disease. Micronutrient deficiencies are also incredibly common in vegans and vegetarians as nutrients from plants are not as bioavailable as those found in animal foods. Find out what labs we suggest running and which supplements to consider whether you are currently a vegan or have recently transitioned!

Do you have any concerns about neurological health/cognitive function including: ADHD, Parkinson’s, MS, Mood imbalances etc? Wondering why and how they happen and what you can do about it? Be sure to tune in for an in depth look at a functional medicine approach to these and more!
Currently, stimulant drugs (psychostimulants) are the most commonly prescribed medications for ADHD followed by antidepressants. Stimulants appear to boost and balance levels of brain chemicals called neurotransmitters; however, these drugs do not provide the building blocks to replenish neurotransmitters and can cause deficiency especially in a young developing brain. These medications help improve the symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity; however, they have high risk for dependency and misuse is on the rise. Parkinson's disease occurs when nerve cells, or neurons, in an area of the brain that controls movement become impaired and/or die. Normally, these neurons produce an important brain chemical known as dopamine, but when the neurons die or become impaired, they produce less dopamine. This shortage of dopamine causes the movement problems of people with Parkinsons.
Along with neurotransmitter imbalances, other common drivers of neurological dysfunction include: inflammation, micronutrient deficiencies, toxicity, bacterial imbalance and even blood sugar balance! The gut and digestion is often a place to start when treating these pathologies. To learn more how what lab tests, supplements, and foods to consider, be sure to tune in!

There are important factors to analyze beyond your standard lipid panel. Tune in to find out the true root cauases of heart disease, what to eat and supplements to consider for treatment and prevention!
Heart disease includes elevated cholesterol and blood pressure, heart attack, arrhythmias, and stroke. Your lifestyle diet, body composition and inflammatory stress can all play a role in your risk for heart disease. When we focus on lowering cholesterol levels with pharmaceutical drugs rather than treating lifestyle imbalances we can find ourselves at greater risk for dysfunction and ultimately disease. In fact, it is only diet and exercise that can reverse heart disease. Every 6 pounds of weight loss can increase your HDL (good cholesterol) by 1 point and this acts as a broom to clean out your arteries preventing plaque formation! Tune in to learn about all of this and more!!

From stomach aches, gas, and bloating to auto-immune disease and hormonal imbalnace: many diseases that may seem unrelated to the gut often start there! In this Episode Ali will walk you through common causes of leaky gut for prevention as well as an RRR gut restoration protocol to treat it!
Leaky gut or intestinal permeability is when large protein molecules escape into the bloodstream. This triggers a chain of events where the body actually mounts an immune response and attacks molecules, thinking that they are “invaders” since they are outside of the intestinal tract where they belong. Studies show that these attacks play a role in the development of autoimmune diseases.
The main culprits as to why this “leaking” occurs are foods, infections, and toxins. Gluten is the number one cause of leaky gut! In this Episode, Ali will discuss many other reasons why people experience leaky gut gut so often as well as the most common signs and symptoms including: dermatitis, season allergies/asthma, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and more!

Do you suffer from: bloat, IBS/diarrhea/constipation, fatigue, rashes, or brain fog? Curious if you have candida yeast overgrowth or overgrowth of bad bacteria? In this episode Ali explains the symptoms, causes, and most importantly the solutions to address Candida Albicans or an overgrowth of yeast.
In this episode Ali demystifies one of the most common causes of digestive disorders and mysterious symptoms: Candida Albicans. “Candida” is an opportunistic fungus, which is a form of yeast in the body that is naturally occurring. Everyone has some level of yeast in their system, but it is the overgrowth of Candida Albicans that can wreak havoc and lead to dysfunction. When this powerful yeast takes over, Candida releases toxic byproducts into the bloodstream, many of which can act as neurotoxins leading to headaches and brain fog.
The human body holds 3-5 pounds of living bacteria that has the opportunity to work with our body or against it. When in a state of symbiosis the gut bacteria can aid with absorption of nutrients, production of serotonin and other natural antidepressants, regulation of immune function and cancer fighting compounds, and improvement of digestive function. When in the state of dysbiosis, bad bacteria can take over, leading to a host of symptoms!

Ketosis is different than most diets as to most diets are onlyfocused on calories in and calories out. A ketosis diet does not requirecalorie restriction and actually is supported by high protein and high fatfoods which are satiating and satisfying. Ketosis only requires the removal ofgrains and starches which are typically nutritionally devoid and starchyvegetables and fruits while in phase 1. When in Ketosis, you may also want toconsider Intermittent fasting which is said to mimic the habits of ourancestors who did not have restaurants and grocery stores and would roam forfood and periodically skip meals or have a longer period of time in betweenmeals or eating. In this Episode, Ali will discuss how to fast safely withoutbeing hungry but more importantly, she will explain the hormonal, bloodglucose, and cognitive benefits of fasting.
Also covered in thisepisode:

Ketosis is the state in which the body is breaking downfat to be used as energy in place of sugar. While in ketosis your body producesketone bodies which are produced by the liver from fat to be used as energy.The Standard American Diet (SAD) is predominately made up of carbohydrates anddevoid or healthy fats, nourishing proteins and disease fighting non starchyveggies. A diet high in carbohydrates (like the SAD) causes our body to becomeefficient at burning carbohydrates for fuel but unfortunately inefficient atburning FAT for fuel. A diet higher in fat and lower in carbohydrates canactually cause the body to become more efficient at burning fat. Though itsounds counterintuitive; increasing fat intake can actually help you lose fat.In the episode Ali will walk you through the basics of Ketosis including how itworks, what it is used to treat, and who should avoid it.

When the HPA Axis is over-activated, it can lead to destructive imbalance. This axis regulates your body’s health from body temperature to satiety, fluid retention, metabolism, and beyond! It regulates three glands: the hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal glands. The adrenal glands produce steroid hormones including the infamous stress hormone, cortisol. Cortisol is the main culprit of the adrenals that drive imbalance in inflammation, immune system, drive belly fat or excessive fatigue when levels are off, and regulate sleep and energy levels.
In this episode, Ali will elucidate the connection between adrenal fatigue and chronic fatigue syndrome, increased food sensitivities, digestive disturbances, depression, anxiety, autoimmune disease, hormonal imbalance, and stubborn weight loss. Often when searching for a solution with an ongoing health condition, people will pick at layers of the symptom rather than understanding that managing this axis can resolve an array of chronic conditions.
If you think you may be experiencing adrenal fatigue, tune in to learn how to support adrenal recovery for an overworked HPA-axis!
Also covered in this episode:

The immune system is the body’s surveillance and defense system that works to protect the body from invaders such as: pathogens from bacteria, parasite, and virus, abnormal tissue such as tumors and more. It is the immune system’s job to upregulate the cellular players to fight off these compounds and regulate inflammatory response. When the immune system is compromised, however, our defense system is down and we are more susceptible to imbalance leading to chronic illness, autoimmune disease, inflammatory disease, Cancer and other conditions.
In this episode Ali will talk about the key players in the immune system including Natural Killer Cells, White Blood Cell macrophages, T-cells, lymphocytes and the different defense systms the body has in place to protect against invasion; surface barriers, inflammation, chemical and adaptive cells.

The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis also known as “fight-or-flight” plays a dynamic role on the function of the body. When appropriately activated this stress response can aid in survival, but when over-activated, can lead to organ dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, metabolic disruptions, inflammation, and autoimmune reactivity. Ali will discuss each gland in this pathway and how it regulates your body’s health from body temperature to satiety, fluid retention, histamine reaction, and beyond! She will identify how this system of feedback functions and how a functional medicine practitioner addresses imbalance.
Beyond stress and survival response, you will learn how this axis when thrown off can lead to increased food sensitivities, digestive disturbances, and stubborn weight loss. All too often a client searching for a solution with ongoing health condition is picking at layers of the symptom rather than understanding that managing this axis can resolve many chronic conditions. You will learn about realistic approaches to assess and treat this axis to promote whole body health including amino acid support, dietary support, and lifestyle management.
