It took years of trial and error for Dr. Becky Campbell to discover she suffered from Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, a condition which meant her body couldn’t break down histamines. Certain foods – even the “healthy” ones – would leave her with a crippling migraine or feeling exhausted. Extreme heat and cold were also big no-nos. The game changed when she began to explore histamine intolerance through a functional lens. She cured her body and formulated the four phase histamine reset plan that helps you identify your lifestyle and food triggers and eliminate the ingredients causing you to feel bad. We discuss how you can spot if you have histamine intolerance, the dietary steps that will combat a myriad of issues such as vertigo, allergies, migraines, and the supplements that can support your system. Plus, we explore the link between COVID-19 and histamine intolerance issues, and how functional medicine can treat thyroid imbalance. You will learn about... What is Mast Cell Activation Syndrome?

It’s hard to believe that holistic psychiatrist, Dr. Kelly Brogan, spent the initial segment of her career connecting mental issues to the “right” pharmaceutical prescriptions. After a U-turn in 2010, she replaced the prescription pad for a root-cause resolution approach to psychiatric syndromes and symptoms. Now, she encourages her community to turn inward, using nutrition, lifestyle, and meditation as a springboard for the profound, emotional shedding that leads to deeper healing. In this episode, we examine what it looks like to reparent your emotions and nurture your own safe container as a path out of victimhood. Dr. Kelly generously shares her own human experience, how she works through shadow moments showing up in her life, and how you can work through your triggers for radical self-healing.

Whole Foods Market first opened its doors in 1980 with the mission to push the dialogue around food, nourishment, and the environment. Forty-one years later, Whole Foods Market has set the gold standard for high-quality food retail, and rigorous Quality Standards have been integrated into almost everything the company does. Behind the aisles, Jamie Yael Katz (who started her career as a Whole Foods Market cashier) and the rest of the Whole Foods Market Quality Standards team sets standards with your health and the environment in mind. Whether that's visiting the farms producing bananas as part of Whole Foods Market’s growing "Sourced for Good" program or revising their 150 banned ingredient list for food to ensure it correlates with modern science and research. In this episode, we discuss Whole Foods Market's approach to food ingredients, making shopping for things like seafood, eggs, and meat a stress-free process and why when you choose to purchase in Whole Foods Market, whether it's their Whole Foods Market and 365 by Whole Foods Market private label brands or anything else, you're never compromising on quality for you or your family.

LMFT and CEO of Okay Humans, Christy Desai, is transforming the conversation and experience of going to therapy with an innovative talk therapy concept that’s customer-forward, inviting and accessible. Collaborating with the founders of Drybar and Squeeze, Okay Humans is normalizing seeking help by helping people embrace therapy as part of their wellness journey. It’s ok to not be ok, but you don’t have to be a victim to your circumstances or past trauma. Both Christy and I share how therapy has helped us heal along different touchpoints of our lives, and why the future of talk therapy should be a “feel good” experience, even if you’re not quite there yet internally.

Dr. Austin Perlmutter builds the bridge between traditional health education and execution by examining how our ability to make good choices, not only has a knock on effect on dietary decisions but on our mental health as well. When we know that fruits and veggies are the key to health, why do we still reach for the cake? And more importantly, how do we remedy this? In this episode, we unpack how to get “unstuck” from the myriad of bad choices we’re subliminally pushed to make every day, and alter the trajectory of our physical and mental health.

This week’s guest Tal Ben-Shahar is a happiness expert who has drilled down the scientific roots of the emotion we all strive to feel.

Parents dread the moment their kids go through the picky eater phase. It’s tough when they turn their nose up at a well-balanced meal packed with nutrients while their eyes sparkle at the pre-packaged snacks in the supermarket aisle. Pediatric nutritionist and mama, Edwena Kennedy, spent two years researching and implementing unique hacks (using her own toddlers as guinea pigs) to bring joy and balance back into mealtimes and make “snackcidents” a thing of the past. We unpack the pantry and explore different ways to navigate eating benchmarks: from transitioning to solid foods and advancing kids’ texture palette to creating mealtime boundaries and transforming snacks into mini-meals.

Dr. Ana-Maria Temple's personal journey is an inspiring pain-to-purpose tale so many mothers out there can relate to. Exhausted from the dead end approach of traditional medicine to treat her young children's allergies, asthma, and severe eczema, she purged her family pantry, much to the disapproval of the medical and mommy world, and transformed her family's food and lifestyle habits. She single-handedly turned everything around in five years, and today, she helps hundreds of patients implement changes that solve the root cause of so many chronic illnesses. We unpick how the standard American diet (doused in dairy, gluten, stress, and unnecessary distractions) created a generation of burned-out kids.

Healthcare game changer, James Maskell, is softening the friction and disconnect between traditional medical professionals and functional medicine through community, accountability, and root cause resolutions for chronic illness. It began in 2015 when he created The Functional Forum: the world’s largest practitioner conference. After witnessing firsthand the power of community in healing outcomes and dedicating his second book, The Community Cure, to the phenomenon, he founded Heal Community: a 12 week program that enables virtual care in a group setting.

Dr. Joan Ifland has dedicated 25 years to helping people release their iron-tight addiction and consequential suffering from processed foods.

There’s no shaming or shortcuts in her slow-and-steady solution that puts our minds on track to make the food decisions that make us happy and healthy. Today we uncover how societal conditioning around food sets us up for failure, how companies profit from cravings, and the long-term tactics we can employ to untangle ourselves from dangerous fast food messaging and addictive habits.

It took Dr. Will Siu 15 years of medical training and a slew of certifications from UCLA, the University of Oxford, and Harvard Medical School before realizing he was not truly happy. After years chasing happiness and career gratification through hoops dictated by what he defines as “perceived values,” he found himself depressed, empty, and searching for true purpose. After encountering the world of psychedelics through a friend, he decided to explore their potential for healing – first for himself, and now for his patients. After my traumatic birth experience with Sebastian, I turned to Dr. Will Siu for the emotional release I couldn’t get from sitting on a couch. The guttural shrieks and cries I expressed during that 90-minute session in his LA office finally closed the circle to the traumatic loop I had been locked in. In this episode, we unfold Dr. Will Siu’s fascinating career trajectory and enlightening perspective on therapy and psychedelics, debunking a few myths along the way. Finally, we reflect on the different ways we can give ourselves permission to feel, express ourselves, and live an existence that’s authentically ours. You will learn about...

In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones demystifies female and male hormonal issues by shining a light on the most common symptoms and challenges she sees her clients go up against. We’re a generation of hormonally-challenged individuals who’ve spent too long brushing symptoms off as “just the way things are.” To make matters worse, testing is time sensitive and so the hormonal cycle can find itself in a perpetual state of dysregulation. Add toxins, stress-inducers, and technology into the mix, and it’s not surprising that our bodies get overwhelmed and stuck in a yo-yo state of fight or flight. Plus: we break down circadian rhythms and the knock-on effect they have on your insides. As always, you’ll come out of this episode with actionable and accessible changes you can implement in your routine, from getting your lymphatic system into gear to choosing the right deodorant prepping your body to glide easily through menopause.

Denise Vasi has always refused to be put in a box. As a highly successful model, actress, and the founder of Maed, an inclusive wellness community, she has continuously sought to carve out a space that allows her to shine fully. Motherhood flipped a switch for Denise, and she began exploring – and sharing – her experience as she sought to detox her skin, body, and surroundings while being an inspirational and intentional mother to her daughter and son. Her content struck a chord with her ever-evolving, online community, and Maed was launched (from her bathroom) in 2018. She reveals the secrets to self-care and mindful beauty that she inherited from her grandmother and how she creates time for herself, despite a jam-packed schedule. Plus: how she kicked dietary devils from her household and why her journey to radical self-acceptance is the most beautiful thing of all. You will learn about...

MD, midwife, and herbalist, Dr. Aviva Romm, is lifting the lid on the hidden hormone pandemic. With over 80% of American women reaching out to a doctor with hormone concerns, it’s a subject that needs to be front and center of the collective health conversation. Instead, all too often, women are overwhelmed by a spectrum of health issues swept under the rug – by society and the medical field – as part and parcel of “being a woman.” Your gender is not a diagnosis. Painful periods and menopause, endometriosis, PCOS, and fertility problems are cues telling us something is out of balance in the body. Thankfully, Dr. Romm is helping women self-assess their internal landscape, empowering us with the knowledge, data, and actionable steps to rewire our hormonal health. In this episode, she explains the symptoms to look out for from puberty to menopause, and the lifestyle tools to employ to nourish your body – and hormone levels – from the inside out.
