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! Companies are now required to disclose if their products contain or are made with GMOs (whereas, in the past, it was not mandatory to disclose this). Today, I’m going over how to spot a non-GMO item, even if it’s not certified “non-GMO,” and tips to help you make the best decision for you and your family while grocery shopping.

If you're looking for an alternative to antibiotics, antiviral medications, immune support, digestive support, sleep aids, and even help to combat and detox your system from microplastics, keep listening.

We also debunk the myth of glyphosate in honey, discuss whether organic honey really exists, explore whether the sugar in honey causes blood sugar spikes, and so much more. It's flu season, and if you're someone who always gets sick or struggles with an autoimmune system, this episode might provide the information you need for better health.

223: In this episode, we not only discuss why you're experiencing unexplained, mysterious symptoms that no doctor can pinpoint, but I also share my own health struggles that I've been dealing with since 2020—struggles I haven't shared much about on Instagram or other social platforms. 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! Please save this episode to reference later, share it with a friend or family member, and post it on social media so others can benefit from listening. Topics and Issues Covered: → ⁠Long COVID (people are STILL suffering!) → ⁠Symptoms of histamine intolerance, such as: → ⁠Increased heart rate → ⁠Frequent urination → ⁠UTI-like symptoms without a UTI → ⁠Gastrointestinal issues → ⁠Insomnia → ⁠Joint pain → ⁠Anxiety (even though you’re not anxious) → ⁠Unexplained symptoms → ⁠Mysterious symptoms that no doctor can pinpoint → ⁠POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) → ⁠How wellness routines may actually be causing a “flare” → ⁠Foods to avoid if you have MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) → ⁠Supplements that may irritate MCAS → ⁠Supplements that help with MCAS (histamine intolerance) → ⁠How to get tested for histamine intolerance / types of tests → ⁠What causes histamine intolerance → ⁠The connection between long COVID, mold, and histamine intolerance → ⁠How to heal and get your life back!

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].

216: Can fasting help or harm a woman? Is time-restricted eating the same as fasting, or is it different? These topics are quite controversial, and we dissect them all in today’s interview with Mindy Pelz, author of Fast Like a Girl and her newest book, Eat Like a Girl. If you are trying to conceive, have your period, or are working to get it back and regulate your hormones, fasting could be the key to unlocking your goals. Mindy discusses the RIGHT way to fast because women should not be fasting like men. We dive into how to do it properly and what foods to eat during different times of the month. For those who are postmenopausal or in perimenopause, we talk about how fasting can also be beneficial during these stages of life. We explore the positive effects fasting can have on gut health, IBS, candida, SIBO, leaky gut, metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and even diabetes, which is a common misconception for those with type one and type two diabetes. We also discuss whether teenagers should be fasting and at what age women should begin fasting for their health. Fasting is not only the hot topic of today’s interview; the way we break a fast and our first meal coming off a fast is just as important. The first meal is not a one-size-fits-all solution, so Mindy breaks it down and shares insights about the different foods we should be consuming, seed cycling, and so much more! Topics Discussed: → Should women fast? → Can fasting help regulate hormones? → Can not fasting harm gut health? → Are low-carb diets harming women's health? → Should women going through menopause practice intermittent fasting? → At what age is it appropriate to begin fasting? → Infertility and fasting → Foods to eat during certain times of fasting → How to fast during your cycle → How to break a fast (foods to eat!) → Benefits of fasting for gut health, IBS, SIBO, and leaky gut → Time-restricted eating vs. fasting → Fasting for perimenopausal and menopausal women → Myths about keto, low carb, and fasting for women → Fasting myths for diabetics → How the body detoxes when fasting → Who shouldn’t fast As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].

214: Every single woman needs to listen to this episode....and I don't say that lightly! Today I am talking with Dr. Lorraine Maita who specializes in hormone replacement therapy and we discuss the reasons why women should go on HRT, such as not only helping bone loss but actually reversing it, perimenopause, menopause, helping you get pregnant and carry a child to term, and what hormones do for our body beyond, reproduction such as sleep, depression, and even digestion. We also talk about the best ways to get your hormones tested because blood just isn't enough to measure. Even the methods to take estrogen are important and taking the pill is actually not recommended, so we talk about the safest ways to do that and if there are any risks involved in hormone replacement therapy. I know there's a lot of stigma around it especially when it comes to breast cancer, so we get into that as well. Whether you are 20 or 80 years old, you need to be informed in what we discuss in this episode and it can certainly help every single person who listens, I can guarantee that.

Since then, alternative milk sources have evolved to include the synthetic formulas of today. The use of artificial feeding substances grew rapidly and was significantly influenced by advertising campaigns. This had a profound negative effect on breastfeeding trends, despite research that revealed many discrepancies between breastfed and artificially fed infants (Greer & Apple, 1991; Wolf, 2003). Throughout the ages and until the end of the 19th century, animal's milk was the most common source of artificial feeding. As mentioned earlier, pap and panada were used only as supplements to animal's milk when the infant failed to thrive. The type of animal's milk used was dependent on the kind of animal that was available—goats, sheep, donkeys, camels, pigs, or horses. The most common and universally used milk for artificial feeding, however, was cow's milk (Radbill, 1981). → My Baby + Toddler Formula Amazon Picks → Organics Best Shop → Get my newsletters Check Out Bethany: → Bethany’s Instagram: @lilsipper → YouTube → Bethany’s Website → My Digestive Support Protein Powder → Gut Reset Book → Get my Newsletters (Friday Finds) Learn more about your ad choices.
