It’s no secret that we’re sitting more than ever. Whether it’s at a desk all-day or binging the latest season on Netflix, we’re all not moving as much as we should be.

When it comes to food, everyone has a story. The way you feel about food, think about food, deprive yourself or overindulge, the specific things you crave…There’s a story behind it. Your food story is a big swirl of many things: how you were raised; the messages you received from influential people and absorbed from the media; your positive memories and your painful memories about food. All of it comes together to create thoughts and patterns that directly impact your health and happiness. The bottom line: Finding peace with food isn’t about eating more kale, drinking more water, or doing more yoga. It’s about unlocking your inner narrative about what you eat and why you eat what you do.
Here to talk to us today about food stories is Elise Museles! Elise Museles holds four certificates in holistic health and integrative healing. A frequent speaker, Elise is also host of the popular Once Upon a Food Story podcast. Her work has been featured in Forbes, O, The Oprah Magazine, Health, Self, ELLE, Well+Good, and more!

Jordan has an incredible healing story about his struggle with chronic illness, the dramatic toll it took on his body, and how he was able to heal with the power of food (and much more).
“We tend to take for granted that behind every organic food, every organic juice, every organic supplement - there are farmers so that you can eat the way you want to. It’s an under-appreciated trade.”

“Being ungrounded we build up these electrical charges in our bodies and it affects our nervous system”
“Just go and watch the animals in the woods. They don’t have cardiovascular disease, they don’t have plaque on their teeth, they don’t have lupus, MS, fibromyalgia, they don’t have this host of modern health disorders.”
"People who have chronic inflammation, when they first get grounded they can feel it. Like a battery being charged. "

Whether through a friend, on social media, or the most recent docu-series “Unwell” on Netflix- chances are you have been educated on the potent healing properties of these concentrated plant blends, called essential oils. So do they really do what they say they do? Are they as efficacious as some conventional medicines?
Today we sit with Immunologist, Dr. Steph, to learn more.

What happens when chronic diseases begin to show themselves in more serious forms, such as neurological disorders?
We know that many neurological problems are beginning to show themselves now in earlier stages of life- Alzheimer’s and Dementia are said to have spiked 373% for Millennials and Gen Z according to BlueCross BlueShield. So what do we do about these major red flags for our future generations? What does alternative medicine look like for neurology? Today we are joined with Doctors’ Lauren and Dana Brindisi to discuss the future of neurology.

“Sleep is a time to reallocate our memories and a time to heal. We don’t actually heal a lot through the day, our body is planning on doing that during deep sleep.”
Sleep is one of the pillars of health, yet it is so bio-individual for everyone. While one person is struggling on 4 hours of sleep, someone else is finishing a marathon. So what gives? Is there the “perfect recipe” for sleep? Today we sit down with Todd and Tara Youngblood to discuss their findings on what it means to get good sleep.

We have heard the downfalls of conventional farming when it comes to human and planet health - So what do we do about this? What is regenerative agriculture? What is the true cost of the food we consume? How can we restore the nutrients back into our food and soil? Today we sit down with regenerative expert and cattle rancher Eric Perner to discuss the current condition of our agricultural practices and what changes we can make.
Eric is co-founder and CEO of REP Provisions, a CPG company solely focused on producing foods that are sourced from regenerative ranches and farms. It is their mission to regenerate grassland ecosystems and create healthy nutrient dense foods in the process. They believe that healthy lands lead to healthy lives, and that taste, nutrition, and convenience shouldn't be a compromise.

Oils are a very important part of any diet, being that they can be the catalyst of health or culprit of inflammation. So when Greg Vetter set out to find a clean salad dressing on the market in 2009 and there was none, his mission was clear cut. Thus, he pulled his brothers together to launch Tessemae’s.. Today we sit down with all three Vetter brothers to talk on a personal note about the success of their products and the accessibility to clean good food for all.
“I Went to all the local grocery stores to see if clean salad dressing existed, and it didn't. Clean salad dressing was not a thing and I was in shock. So I called my brothers, wife, and parents and said “We’re going to start a clean salad dressing.”

What are some tricks to keeping the family healthy? Good house cleaning products? What is colloidal silver? What is Egyptian Magic?
Let’s talk life hacks from one parent to another when it comes to teaching kids what healthy really means. We are combating horrible foods, toxic household products, water, air quality, makeup, sedentary lifestyles in schools, not enough nature, exercise- this is so overwhelming for a parent to hear. On top of that, we now have this new dynamic in the household where kids are home- the parents have far more time with them than previously and it can be stressful, but also a good opportunity to take alternative routes when it comes to parenting.
We sat down with Earthy Junky creator, Samantha Elkin, to talk about some tips to keeping the family active, clean and healthy.

What is Lymph? What is a lymphatic massage and how is it different from a traditional massage? What are some good exercises for our lymphatic system?
Ever heard of a massage that detoxifies your body simultaneously? That's right, there's a technique that exists that you not only get to relax and enjoy- but is also promoting detoxification of the lymphatic system at the same time. Lymphatic massage and “lymphatic contouring” has gone mainstream over the last few years, so we decided to sit down with expert, Lisa Gainsley, to see what it’s all about.
“The lymph vessels that surround your gut make up 70% of your immune system. Your bloodstream gets pumped by the heart, but your lymphatic system is actually the circulatory system of the immune system.”

What is the skin microbiome? Is it linked to the gut microbiome? What are endolysins? How do they help?
The gut is always the hot topic of discussion, but today we switch gears to talk about the skin microbiome. Skin can be the “canary in the coal mine” when indicating imbalances in the body, and sometimes it takes a little more than a simple clean diet and water to get the skin back in check. Today we sit down with Skyler Stein, leader of GladSkin US, who has helped bring a new technology to the table in the world of skincare.
Over the years Skyler pivoted from private equity and finance, to bringing a brand new skincare technology, GladSkin, from overseas. This wasn’t without obstacles, as Skyler had a tough battle with Lyme’s disease and used himself as somewhat of a guinea pig for testing. Through his journey, it became a harsh reality that many who are struggling with autoimmune issues are also dealing with inflammatory skin conditions. Skyler provides lots of insight, especially on the new technology of Endolysins. Check out our timestamps below:

What is the difference between naturopathic and conventional medicine? How many types of fasting are there? Should women fast? What is a fast mimicking diet?
Naturopathic medicine is beginning to draw a lot of attention, as many find themselves dealing with chronic sickness, but are increasingly skeptical of ushering in pharmaceuticals to their lives.
On today’s episode we answer all of those questions alongside Naturopathic med student, Tyler Jean, with a “root cause” approach. Tyler begins with debunking the notion that our bodies “break” and we need external medicine to help fix and protect. Tyler also goes in depth on the different types of fasting and the benefits seen for disease.

Every system in your body is uniquely connected, but did you ever think that your teeth could be connected to your heart health, joint pain, or gut health? Not only can your teeth and gums tell you a lot about what is going on in your body, but they can also be causing some of those problems.
Today we talk with Dr. Kelly Blodgett, a holistic dentist in Portland OR who is on a mission to reverse the negative stereotype of dentistry. Not only can your teeth be trying to tell you what is going on in your body, but they could also be the trigger for some health problems like heart health or gastrointestinal issues.

How does this healing molecule fly so under the radar?
Glutathione is the “mother” of all antioxidants and is one of the key molecules that is usually deficient when looking at chronic diseases.
Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of three amino acids (Glycine, Cysteine, Glutamine) and is naturally produced in the liver, as well as in meats and produce.
Glutathione acts as a magnet for things like free radicals and heavy metals!

It’s common for women to complain about their hormones being out of whack. And doctors love to use birth control as the solution to the problem. But birth control is merely covering the symptoms and not actually treating it.
So if you feel your hormones are all over the place, or you are struggling with PMS, PCOS, irregular periods, acne, breast tenderness and maybe even post-birth control syndrome, you may want to consider seed cycling. It’s a natural remedy used for bringing your hormones back into balance.
How it works? The first half of your menstrual cycle, focus on consuming 1-2 tablespoons of flax seeds and raw pumpkin seeds daily. And for the second half, focus on consuming 1-2 tablespoons of sunflower seeds and sesame seeds.
To learn more, tune into the full episode where host Kat Eckles gives you a quick breakdown on seed cycling–sharing all the amazing health benefits, as well as how to get started.

Now let us ask you this: How successful has this tactic been for helping you not only lose weight, but helping you keep the weight off long-term? Most likely your answer is not very successful. That’s because weight loss is much more complex than simply burning more calories than you consume. Long-term, this approach will kill your metabolism, disrupt your digestion, and prevent you from losing weight. In this episode of Be Organic, hosts Kat and Landon Eckles chat with Courntey Burisch on the important factors that play into weight loss–most importantly your metabolism and digestion. Courtney dives into what is causing your slow metabolism and digestion, the serious roll over-exercising plays, and what you can do to ensure the two are optimized. Courtney Bursich is a certified health coach who has an obsession with finding the best ways to beat disease and live our best lives. If you are tired of the modern-day approach to healthcare, and the limiting mindset of “diet” culture, then Courtney is your girl! What is discussed in this episode: Why weight loss more than just calories in/calories out * The damage “calories in/calories out” mentality does to your body * What causes a slow metabolism and poor digestion * Why exercising more is preventing you from losing weight * The problem with the keto diet * Why it’s okay to eat more carbs * How fasting boosts your metabolism and improved digestion * Lifestyle changes you can make for optimizing your metabolism and digestion

Most of us feel like we aren’t getting enough sleep. Regardless of how tired we may feel, we can’t seem to get our mind to stop racing or our body to wind down. If this sounds like you, you’ve most likely already tried cutting out caffeine in the afternoon, exercising more to tire out your body, and probably all the other generic fixes that are recommended to us that just don’t seem to work. So what are your next steps? It’s time for you to think about what else you’re doing in your day-to-day life that might be affecting sleep.

Did you know symptoms like IBS, bloating, constipation, difficulty losing weight, hormonal imbalances, depression, anxiety, chronic fatigue, frail hair and nails, skin issues, and brain fog are all linked to inflammation?

In this episode of Be Organic, Dr. Will Cole chats with us on what’s causing our inflammation and also provides us with a step-by-step process on how to heal, including what foods to avoid, supplements to use, lifestyle practices to adopt, and ways of eating to explore.
