In this episode, I discuss the link between Big Pharma and Big Food and their plot to keep us fat, sick, and reliant on the system. The chemicals in ultra-processed food are killing us, and we need to take action and fight back and eat real, whole, nutrient-dense foods.

The solution is to stop relying on Big Pharma and Big Food and to start pushing back against these monopolies.

In this episode, I walk about how nervous system dysregulation can cause you to feel spacey, be constantly daydreaming, have a foggy memory, and leave you struggling to stay present. This can have long term health consequences, including digestive dysfunction, anxiety, depression, and other chronic health issues. The gut-brain connection plays an enormous role in this process, which is why improving nervous system flexibility is foundational for addressing.

Fortunately, there are many simple and effective steps you can take to improve your nervous system flexibility that I discuss in detail!

In this episode, I discuss the importance of bio-individuality and what factors play into it: everything from genetics to gut health to blood type and more! Also, you’ll learn why comparing your journey to others and replicating what other people do for health and wellness can be risky. We’re all unique and our bio-individuality can determine what we need to be healthy, which is going to be different from what anyone else needs.

I also briefly talk about how muscle testing can help you determine what is compatible with your body and its unique needs.

In this episode, I talk about my experience of being overmedicated as a child and how it impacted my health growing up. I explain how ended up on 7 different prescriptions at just 17 years old and the plethora of side effects that left me feeling like a shell of a person.

Taking SSRIs, ADHD stimulants, birth control, and long-term antibiotics for acne had a detrimental effect on my health and led me to develop chronic illnesses (which I have since put into remission). Stopping the medication came with severe withdrawal symptoms that impacted my life for years.

If you’re contemplating getting off medication (with your doctor's supervision) or have been a victim of medical abuse and/or being overmedicated, I invite you to listen to connect and learn about the predatory system that the medical-industrial complex is.

Many people diagnosed with IBS turn to restricting certain foods or food groups in hopes of alleviating their digestive troubles. Oftentimes, this restriction can lead to fearing food and unhealthy eating habits. Not only does this negatively impact the psyche but it also impacts the body on a physical level. This anxiety around food can worsen IBS symptoms, thus creating more anxiety.

In this episode, we will discuss what food fear is, how the anxiety it creates can worsen digestive symptoms, the role of the gut-brain connection, and tips to minimize food fear.

Health problems associated with poor oral health such as cavities, periodontal disease, root canals, and mercury fillings.

Health problems associated with poor gut health like malabsorption, H. pylori, and acid reflux

Get ready for a lot of different topics from relationships, loneliness, hook-up culture, how we're being programmed to not cherish family & community, to the Colorado shooting, which my heart goes out to all the victims and their families. Loneliness is a driving factor in many illnesses and it's up to us to change that and stick together. Community drives us together and focusing on our similarities rather than focusing on our differences gets us to a better spot. Relationships are also not a black and white thing and are always a work in progress.

This podcast dives into what it's like dealing with acne on all aspects: emotionally, physically and how it affects your psyche and social life. Acne is not JUST an "unsightly" skin condition; it impacts all aspects of your life and should be taken seriously. If it is showing up on your skin that's your body's way of telling you something is wrong - take action & give it time. You are more than your acne.
