348: Does dairy love you back… or is it low key sabotaging your skin, gut, and sinuses? Today I’m sharing my very personal, very real journey with dairy, from going fully dairy free during my worst gut struggles to slowly rebuilding tolerance with cultured options like Greek yogurt. I’m breaking down why some forms, like stretchy melty cheeses, still wreck me, while others work beautifully, and why fat content has suddenly changed the game for my body. We’re talking mucus, breakouts, lactose vs intolerance, A2, raw milk, portion size, and why this doesn’t have to be an all or nothing conversation. Your body changes, your digestion evolves, and what worked three years ago might not work today. If you’ve ever said “dairy just doesn’t sit right with me,” this episode might help you figure out why. Topics Discussed: → How dairy has affected me over the years → How to introduce diary into your diet → Why some cheese can cause issues others don’t → It’s not all about ingredients but the process → Is raw dairy REALLY ok and why I stopped drinking it → Sheeps milk, goats milk, and A2 dairy → Why it’s not an all or nothing approach when it comes to consuming dairy As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].

347: Ever feel like your stomach is reacting before your brain even catches up? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Will Cole to talk about what is really going on with the gut brain connection and why your stress, shame, and even childhood trauma might be showing up as bloating, anxiety, brain fog, or inflammation.

335: Seth Gruber is back for a second time to finish up what we started last year in 2025, which was quite literally the most controversial podcast episode I have done to date, and for good reason. Abortion, both surgical and oral pill abortions, are performed daily across the USA and, sadly, the world, often without any informed consent about what an abortion can do to a woman's health. This information has been suppressed, and the studies, research, and real life stories from mothers have been suppressed. Today we get into who has financial ties to Planned Parenthood, why Big Pharma is pushing the abortion pill that is actually more dangerous than having a surgical abortion, as well as preterm labor complications linked to past abortions, and ultimately why and how women are simply not informed by their doctors and OBGYNs about the deadly complications for the women considering an abortion. Whether you're on the right, the left, or somewhere in the middle, I can guarantee the information in today's episode will shock you, and you will be demanding more truth from your doctors and questioning what we have all been told for decades and the true agenda behind aborting babies despite women's health being at risk. → Episode 286 with Seth Gruber Topics Discussed: → The abortion pill vs. surgical abortion → Breast cancer linked to past abortions → Studies that have been suppressed → Who funds Planned Parenthood → Why the health effects of miscarriages are not the same as those from abortions → When does a human become a human? → Baby parts in our drinking water → Playboy is linked to Planned Parenthood?! → How to save a baby after the abortion pill is taken → Preterm labor As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].
