Anxiety? - These are just a few indicators you may have parasites…..but good news is that we can get rid of them and we SHOULD be doing parasite cleanses regularly.

266: If you struggle with anemia, leaky gut, low red blood cells, high LDL cholesterol, brain fog, fatigue—or if you bruise easily—this episode is for you. There’s a special fat that’s been shown to support all of these issues. It’s called C15:0, and it’s the first essential fatty acid discovered in over 90 years! Stephanie joins me today for an eye-opening conversation about this unique fat—an odd-chain saturated fatty acid that’s changing the game. She breaks down the difference between odd-chain and even-chain saturated fats and clears up the common misconception that all saturated fats are bad news. (Spoiler: they’re not.) We also dive into how C15:0 could benefit pregnant mothers and developing babies, and why there's growing interest in adding it to infant formula. So, what foods actually contain C15:0? Are there any that block its absorption? And why are so many of us deficient in it to begin with? If you’re curious whether you’re lacking this essential fat, good news—there are tests for that. And within just 3 to 6 months of supplementing with Fatty15 (a C15:0 supplement), people are reporting some incredible results. We definitely get a little nerdy in this episode—and I loved every minute of it!

247: Have you ever wondered if the foods you’re eating are secretly plotting against you? Okay, maybe not secretly, but when it comes to food combining, some people believe that certain combos could cause chaos in your digestive system. We’re talking about things like steak and potatoes, dairy and seafood, or even melons with anything at all. These food combos have been labeled “bad,” but is there any truth to these claims, or are we just overthinking it? In today’s episode I’m diving deep into the ancient (and still popular) world of food combining. We’ll break down what’s real, what’s wacky, and what might actually help (spoiler: some of these rules actually make sense). Is the idea of eating fruit alone really the key to good digestion? Or is it just a recipe for a very lonely snack? We’ll explore the science, the myths, and the occasional stomach ache, all while figuring out what works for YOU. Topics Discussed: → What food combining actually means and where it came from → Common “bad” combos like steak and potatoes, dairy with seafood, and melons with anything → The science behind digestion and why some combos might cause discomfort → The case for eating fruit alone → How food combining might improve digestion for some people → Real-life tips for balancing your meals without stressing over every bite → Myths debunked and practical takeaways for everyday eating As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].

244: In today's episode, Matthew Gay, creator of Fit Church United, joins me as we discuss the physical health needs of the church and ways to implement what the Bible says about health into daily life. A lot of Bible references are mentioned in this episode, and I realize many listening may not share the same biblical values and principles. It's certainly not a typical Digest This interview, but it may interest you because this topic isn’t discussed enough in today’s society. Many people in the church struggle with living a healthy lifestyle, and Matthew shares ways we can be a light in our communities to help influence change in our groups and personal lives. We talk about whether eating meat is prohibited, what the Daniel Diet actually is, and how you can apply biblical principles to your own health journey. I think this was an interesting take on health and fitness—one that could provide the motivation you need to jumpstart your healthy journey. Topics Discussed: → The health of our potential military men → Back to basics with health → What the Bible says about food → How to implement a healthy lifestyle in the church → Tips to help others not struggle → Getting accountability in your health journey → The Daniel Diet → Fasting → Tips to make a healthy change in your church, community, and home As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].

Methylene blue is a potent antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial powerhouse that’s been around since the late 1800s. It’s a brain booster, improving memory, focus, and mood. It’s even being explored as a possible treatment for malaria and other infections. And, drumroll please… it’s got serious anti-aging effects too! We’re talking mitochondria, energy, and slowing down the aging process. I’ll break it all down for you: how it works in the brain, the anti-aging potential, and of course, the side effects (gotta keep it real). If you’ve been looking for something to support your health in 2025, you’re going to want to tune in. Oh, and if you’ve been hearing me rave about my blue tongue on Instagram? That’s all part of my methylene blue journey. Trust me, it's more than just a funky color. Topics Discussed: → The surprising benefits of methylene blue → Brain booster: memory, focus, and mood → Anti-aging effects and mitochondrial support → How methylene blue fights infections and promotes neuroprotection → Potential side effects and safe usage tips As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].

242: If you have breast cancer, know someone who does, if it runs in your family, or perhaps you or someone you know has already gone through breast cancer treatment, this episode is one to save and definitely listen to. Breast cancer affects EVERYONE—not just the person who has it. Because if we don’t have it, we most likely know someone who does or will. It’s not something to take lightly, and sadly, there’s a lot of misinformation out there about treatment and detection. That’s why I have Dr. Jenn Simmons on the show today. She exposes and explains why mammograms can actually increase your risk of getting breast cancer, why soy doesn’t contribute to breast cancer, the connection between birth control and breast cancer, whether HRT is harmful or helpful, and the types of HRT we should be getting after breast cancer treatment. We also cover alternative options for mammograms. Plus, we go into how to do a self-examination, why every woman, young and old, should be doing this monthly, and the right time to examine yourself—because that matters too! This might be one of the most important podcast episodes you’ll ever listen to. Topics Discussed: → Are mammograms causing cancer? → How to detect breast cancer without radiation → Do underwire bras contribute to breast cancer? → Do mastectomies actually prevent you from getting breast cancer? → What we’re getting wrong when it comes to breast cancer detection → How to examine your own breasts → Things women are doing that increase our risk for breast cancer and how to minimize that risk → HRT myths → Soy and breast cancer myths → Caring for yourself or others AFTER breast cancer treatment → IVF and hormonal birth control → Stress and its link to breast cancer → Becoming empowered As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].

234: Have you heard of the gut circadian rhythm? We often talk about our overall circadian rhythm, and most of us automatically think about sleep—waking up in the morning and going to bed at night. But did you know your gut has its own circadian rhythm? It affects digestion and may be the key to addressing issues like constipation or weight gain. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Vincent Pedre, where we dive deep into how to align our metabolism with our circadian rhythm to improve sleep, support regular bowel movements, aid weight loss, and keep hunger cravings in check. We also explore the impact of microplastics—some of their surprising sources—and discuss how stress can contribute to constipation. We touch on how childhood antibiotics may be linked to IBS today, and offer practical ways to reduce the toxic load in our diets and daily lives. Don’t worry, this isn't an episode filled with doom and gloom! We’re here to provide actionable tips and resources to help you improve your health without breaking the bank. My goal is never to fearmonger, but to inform—because when we know better, we can do better. With the right knowledge and tools, we can all lead healthier, happier lives. Topics Discussed: → You don’t have to have obvious gut symptoms to have a gut issue → Non-gut issues that may actually be gut-related → Common causes of constipation → Natural ways to relieve constipation → Why the timing of your meals matters → How timed eating supports constipation relief, weight loss, and IBS → The dangers of over-sanitization → Microplastics: Beyond just plastic items → How stress affects digestion, causing constipation and diarrhea → The link between childhood antibiotics and IBS today → Simple swaps and changes to reduce our toxic load in daily routines Sponsored By: → Manukora | Head to https://manukora.com/DIGEST to get $25 off the Starter Kit → SuppCo100% | FREE access by going to https://supp.co/DIGEST → LMNT | Get your FREE sample pack with any LMNT purchase at https://drinklmnt.com/DIGEST → Seed | Go to https://seed.com/digest and use code 25digest for 25% off Connect with Dr. Pedre → Instagram → Website Check Out Bethany: → Bethany’s Instagram: @lilsipper → YouTube → Bethany’s Website → Discounts & My Favorite Products → My Digestive Support Protein Powder → Gut Reset Book → Get my Newsletters (Friday Finds) As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].

228: This episode is different from most as Dr. Austin Lake and I discuss how the feminist movement perhaps does more harm than good to women's health and WHY women are more prone to autoimmune diseases. We get into the nitty gritty of how our society has driven women into becoming the perfect storm in accumulating more stress and responsibilities than men and the domino effect that plays in our overall health as families. Dr. Austin and I also dive into our own faith and how that has been super important in our own lives and the question of "Why does God not heal us even if we have been praying for healing for years?" - the answer to this may not be definite, but it sure brings hope to those looking for healing and relief especially if you are a believer....but even if you're not, our conversation went beyond our faith as we also dove into if coffee was a friend or foe (especially for women), if fasting is healthy, how we can avoid toxins recirculating in our body, ideas to help you save money all while saving your health. We went in all directions in our conversations and you will get a bite of everything in this episode, so I hope you listen all the way through because I have no doubt every person that does will get something out of it they can take away and apply to their own lives. Topics Discussed: → Why women have more health issues than men → Saving money while prioritizing your health → Why God doesn't heal us even when we have prayed for healing → The importance of slowing down → How society has made our health worse → How coffee can be our friend → Fasting (good or bad?) → Individual health needs As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].

227: Why are we seeing more “made with bioengineered ingredients” on food packages? HINT: Nothing has changed with the ingredients—the law has changed!

There seems to be a HUGE link between people who had COVID, like I did back in 2020, and current health issues that either haven’t gone away or only seem to flare up intermittently. If you've been dealing with symptoms like exercise intolerance, a racing heartbeat, anxiety that comes out of nowhere (even when you know you're not fearful or anxious about anything), insomnia, waking up to pee 3-5 times during the night, or symptoms of a UTI but the tests always come back negative, then keep listening. These side effects and reactions are just a few of the many random, mysterious issues that could be linked to histamine intolerance, which is also tied to COVID. I speak with Michelle Shapiro, who explains in more detail what histamine intolerance is, which foods and wellness routines trigger it (such as exercise, vitamin C IVs, drinking bone broth, and other popular “wellness regimens” many of us do) that could actually be hindering your health and causing these so-called “flare-ups.” We discuss why these symptoms may come and go in flares, and why some days or months we feel fine, but then suddenly experience a loss of energy, skin rashes, and chronic gut issues that last for weeks. Speaking of gut issues—if you feel like your digestion has never been the same since you had COVID, there could be a connection. Michelle breaks it all down and explains how we can take steps to get our lives back. There’s good news, though!

221: For anyone trying to conceive now, planning to in the next year or two, or even considering having kids in 5 or 10 years, or perhaps you're over 40 and have lost hope in having children—this episode is exactly for you! So basically, if you're a woman, this episode is a must-listen. In today’s interview, I sit down with Ronit and Vida, best friends and the co-founders of WeNatal, a prenatal supplement designed not only for women but also for their male partners. We bust a lot of myths about fertility, such as improving egg quality, the misconception that fertility is only a woman’s issue, conceiving after 40, and even how some "health routines" may actually be hindering egg and sperm quality and count. Many people don’t realize that practices like saunas, cold plunges, and even something as simple as touching receipts could make it more difficult to conceive. We also discuss what to avoid when trying to get pregnant, as well as foods to consume and other things to implement to support conception and a growing baby. Most importantly, this episode truly empowers and gives hope to any couple trying to conceive—whether later in life or after several miscarriages. So many women feel alone in this journey and struggle to figure things out, and this interview could be the podcast episode that helps turn things around for you. I hope you enjoy it and that it brings some light to your day and life. Topics Covered: → Misconceptions about infertility → Egg and sperm myths → Conceiving after 40 → The decline in fertility rates → Common factors inhibiting fertility and what to avoid → What to consume for optimal egg quality → Lifestyle factors that help and harm fertility → What men SHOULD and SHOULD NOT be doing to help fertility → Miscarriages → Ways to increase egg quality → Drinking raw milk, runny egg yolk, and eating sushi while pregnant → When we should start taking a prenatal if we plan on getting pregnant in the future → When to STOP taking a prenatal after birth → Postpartum depression links → Why we need prenatals even if we are eating a nutrient-dense diet → Specific things to look for when choosing a prenatal → What to avoid in prenatals As always, if you have any questions for the show, please email us at [email protected].

219: We can go three weeks without food, three days without water, but only three minutes without air. If you care about the food you eat, the water you drink, and the personal care products you use, then you should also care about the air you breathe and how air quality affects your health in more ways than you might think! Everything from your immune system, digestive health, skin health, allergies, and even sleep can be influenced by the air we breathe. It can either improve these issues or make them worse. Today, we’re going to discuss how to improve our air quality, even without fancy or expensive solutions. I’m joined by Mike Feldstein, the inventor of Jaspr. Mike previously worked in the mold abatement and fire restoration industry, where he saw a huge lack of options for families trying to live cleaner and healthier lives after being exposed to mold and natural disasters. He set out on a journey to create something that was not only effective but also beautiful, and he is making waves in the hotel and school industries, as well as in our personal homes. → Jaspr | Go to https://jaspr.co/digest for $200 off Topics Discussed: → Symptoms from unhealthy air → Why air quality matters → Mold—We All Have It → Where dust actually comes from → How cooking pollutes the air → Why removing all toxic chemicals from the home doesn’t mean you’ve cleansed the air → Staying indoors → Being outdoors → Tips for having cleaner air without investing in an air purifier → Creating a clean space for a baby’s room → Hotel rooms → Rugs → Limiting exposure to mycotoxins → What purifiers don’t work → How Jaspr actually works As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].
