474: The Art of Olive Oil: Maximizing Nutrition, Freshness, and Flavor with T.J. Robinson
Have you ever tasted something so good, so fresh that you can never go back to your old ways of eating? That's how I feel about olive oil. And today, I'm excited to share this culinary revelation with you for just $1. But let me take you back to where it all began. The first time I went to Italy, I experienced fresh olive oil for the first time. It wasn't that I had never tasted olive oil before in the States, but the difference was profound. I was savoring olive oil made fresh from olives grown on the property we were staying at, in Ravello, off the Amalfi coast. It was an unforgettable experience, and I knew I couldn't go back to store-bought olive oil, so I ended up shipping six bottles of it home. The same thing happened to T. J. Robinson, also known as the Olive Oil Hunter. He also had a transformative encounter with olive oil in Italy. He discovered that olive oil packs the most flavor and health benefits when it's fresh from the farm. That's the issue with typical supermarket olive oils—they lack freshness, sitting on shelves for months and growing stale. Known for his "platinum palate," T. J. is one of the few Americans invited to serve as a judge in prestigious Italian olive oil tasting competitions and he knew he was the one to solve this problem. And so he did! That's when Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club was born. And now you and I get to experience this olive oil from small, award-winning farms, thanks to T. J., our guest on today's Food Heals podcast. When I tasted T. J.'s farm-fresh oils, I fell in love with their vibrant, grassy flavors. They elevate salads, veggies, pasta, and make exquisite salad dressings. Today, T. J. is dedicated to importing rare fresh-pressed olive oil, the most flavorful and healthiest extra virgin olive oil available. Until now, obtaining such quality year-round in the U.S. has been nearly impossible. Rest assured, all of T. J.'s oils are independently lab-tested and certified for 100% purity. The freshness, flavor, and health benefits of this just-pressed oil will astonish you ... it will utterly blow away any olive oil you can find in the U.S. And that's for one simple reason: This is fresh-pressed supreme extra virgin olive oil—raced here by jet straight from the olive harvest and it's independently certified to be 100% pure extra virgin. As an introduction to his Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club, T. J. offers a remarkable opportunity. For just $1, you can receive a full-size $39 bottle of one of the world's finest artisanal olive oils—fresh from the new harvest.

473: Common Ground: The Dark Web of Money, Power, and Politics Behind Our Broken Food System with Rebecca Tickell
Weed killers like Roundup are literally killing us by poisoning our farmers and our food supply and the same company that makes the poison makes the cure. (I'll take things that make you go hmm for 500, Alex!) Luckily the filmmakers behind the new documentary Common Ground are exposing it all and you can watch it live on Earth Day April 22nd. By fusing journalistic exposure with deeply personal stories from those on the front lines of the food movement, Common Ground unveils a dark web of money, power, and politics behind our broken food system. The film reveals how unjust practices forged our current farm system in which farmers of all colors are literally dying to feed us. I've got director Rebecca Tickell here today to tell us more about it. A hopeful and uplifting story of the pioneers of the "Regenerative Movement" who produce tremendous quantities of nutritionally dense food and are working to balance the climate – all while bringing our entire ecosystem back to life. The film explores how Americans from different walks of life, different political backgrounds, and different parts of the country share one thing in common –the very soil beneath their feet. The film investigates the power of "regenerative" farming systems –from large to small-scale farmers who are the champions of soil health as the key to unlocking more (and healthier) food to feed America and the world. Stars Laura Dern, Rosario Dawson, Ian Somerhalder, Jason Mamoa, Woody Harrelson, etc. Common Ground is the highly anticipated sequel to the juggernaut success documentary, Kiss the Ground, which touched over 1 billion people globally and inspired the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to put $20 billion toward soil health.The film profiles a hopeful and uplifting movement of white, black, and indigenous farmers who are using alternative "regenerative" models of agriculture that could balance the climate, save our health, and stabilize America's economy – before it's too late.

472: Inside-Out Anti-Aging: Unveiling the Secrets of NAD+ with Neurohacker's Dr. Gregory Kelly
Media, commercials, medspas and advertisements would have us believe that we need the latest facials, skincare, botox, filler and skin tightening lasers to anti-age ourselves and while I am no stranger to a facial, I would argue that anti-aging starts from within and that we have a lot more control over the cellular age of our bodies and our abilities to live longer stronger lives than we think we do. Chronic diseases claim millions of lives prematurely each year, striking indiscriminately across the globe. The tragedy is compounded by the fact that many of these diseases are preventable, through changes in lifestyle, diet, detoxification, and fostering a positive mindset. And supplementing what we are losing - doing what the biohackers do One of these anti-aging bio hacks is NAD+. NAD+—the elusive molecule often hailed as "the aging molecule"—holds profound sway over the trajectory of our aging process. Its decline with age is believed to underpin several key mechanisms of aging, from mitochondrial function to genetic repair and stem cell renewal. By maintaining or augmenting NAD+ levels, we have the potential to fortify the cellular processes that dictate how we age. So for those of us who are intent on preventing chronic disease, healing our traumas and living long healthy lives well into our 90s and maybe even hundreds without regrets.. One of the solutions lies in bolstering our NAD+ levels. And that is what today's guest Director of Product Development at Neurohacker Collective, and naturopath Dr. Gregory Kelly is here to discuss Enter Qualia NAD+: a multi-dimensional approach to NAD+ optimization that represents a quantum leap in the quest for longevity and vitality. With a meticulously crafted blend of NAD+ precursors and supporting ingredients, Qualia NAD+ offers a comprehensive strategy to enhance NAD+ production and support cellular health. Three crucial precursors—NIAGEN® (NR), niacin, and niacinamide—form the backbone of Qualia NAD+, ensuring that your body has the necessary building blocks to synthesize NAD+ effectively. But it doesn't stop there. With an array of supporting ingredients—from organic coffeeberry to marine-derived magnesium and fermented B vitamins—Qualia NAD+ addresses the intricate web of factors that influence NAD+ metabolism and cellular energy production. The results speak for themselves. In a pilot study at Neurohacker, participants experienced marked improvements in their Healthy Aging Scores, indicating enhanced physical health, emotional well-being, and sexual function. With an overwhelming majority expressing a desire to continue using Qualia NAD+, coupled with high ratings for product experience, the efficacy of this formulation is undeniable. To boost YOUR NAD+ levels up to 50%, Go to neurohacker.com/FH for up to 50% off and use code FH at checkout for an additional 15% off. That's neurohacker.com/FH for an extra 15% off your purchase.

471: Breaking Free from Functional Freeze: A Deep Dive into a Core Wound Mapping Process
EIn Part 2 of our series with JJ Flizanes, we delve deeper into the transformative process of Core Wound Mapping. Building upon the foundation laid in Part 1, we embark on a vulnerable journey of self-discovery and healing. Guided by JJ, I open up about my personal experiences and explore the core wounds that have shaped my life. Together, we navigate through layers of emotions and memories, uncovering patterns and triggers that have held me back. The process of Core Wound Mapping involves peeling back the layers of past traumas and childhood experiences to identify the roots of our emotional struggles. With JJ's guidance, I confront these core wounds head-on, recognizing their impact on my thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. Through this introspective journey, I gain valuable insights into my own psyche and begin to understand the underlying beliefs that have been limiting my growth. JJ's expertise in helping individuals transmute struggle into joy shines through as she offers compassionate support and practical advice. As we unravel the complexities of my core wounds, I am reminded of the power of neuroplasticity and somatic healing practices. By rewiring our brains and releasing stored trauma from our bodies, we can break free from the cycle of functional freeze and step into our full potential. Sharing this vulnerable experience with our listeners, I hope to inspire others to embark on their own journey of self-discovery and healing. By confronting our core wounds and embracing the process of rewiring our brains, we can transform our lives and create a future filled with joy, abundance, and fulfillment. Food Heals Nation, I invite you to join JJ in exploring the transformative power of Core Wound Mapping and experience a consciousness upgrade for yourselves.

Neurohacker Have you heard about NAD+? It's one of the most important molecules in the human body to age well. NAD+ helps promote cellular energy, maintain healthy DNA, detect nutrients efficiently, supports detoxification, and supports your cellular health. Simply put, keeping your NAD+ levels high is VITAL to helping the body feel youthful. But did you know NAD+ levels plummet with age? By age 50, most people's NAD+ levels are only HALF of what they were at age 20. Luckily, science has discovered a way to boost your NAD+ levels up to 50%!†* It's called Qualia NAD+, a groundbreaking supplement from Neurohacker Collective. The reason so many health experts are partnering with Neurohacker and the reason I'm proud to have them sponsor this podcast is you're simply not going to find more carefully researched, life-changing nutritional formulas, especially for aging well.

470: Rewire Your Reality: How to Heal Emotional Pain and Transform Your Life with Core Wound Mapping
Have you heard of neuroplasticity? In simple terms, it's the brain's ability to change and adapt due to experience. In more complex terms, it's the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization. These changes range from individual neuron pathways making new connections to systematic adjustments like cortical remapping or neural oscillation. What it means for us is that when we feel stuck, we can break free by challenging ourselves to do something different, which in turn rewires our brains. Cool, right? My guest today helps people rewire their brains through a process she calls Core Wound Mapping. JJ Flizanes works with conscious, spiritual truth-seekers who want to remove emotional blocks to success. She helps people identify sabotaging patterns and transmute struggle into joy. In this episode, JJ shares that by discovering our core wounds, which usually occur in childhood, we can rewire our brains as adults and break free of old wounds and patterns that are holding us prisoner. This is a two-part episode. Part One is my interview with JJ, and in part two, I am volunteering as tribute! That's right, I'm getting vulnerable. You'll hear JJ take me through a process of uncovering my core wounds and give me some advice on how to let go of the past and move forward with grace and ease and show up better in the world for myself and others. If you like this content, JJ does have a free event where you can learn more. It's an online summit - mark your calendars for April 17th and 18th for her Consciousness Upgrade Summit.

469: The Power Foods Diet: The Breakthrough Plan That Traps, Tames, and Burns Calories for Easy and Permanent Weight Loss
What if there was an evidenced-based, food-as-medicine protocol for kick-starting weight-loss and keeping it off permanently? That's what my guest, Dr. Neal Barnard is back on the show to discuss! To remind you, Dr. Barnard is President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and was featured in Forks Over Knives, What The Health, Plant Pure Nation, Supersize Me, and many more incredible films, and has been a guest on this podcast probably 4-5 times now. His brand new book, The Power Foods Diet: The Breakthrough Plan That Traps, Tames, and Burns Calories for Easy and Permanent Weight Loss just released Tuesday, I was honored to get a copy and I am just pouring over every single word. Weight loss is one of our top health concerns, so much so that we keep looking for good ways to lose weight, preferably a way that is easy, effective, and permanent. It turns out that, when properly chosen, certain foods cause weight loss, with no need for the deprivation and planning that most weight-loss regimens require. In the book, Dr. Barnard reveals three breakthroughs that are supported by research, revealing that certain foods: 1. can reduce the appetite 2. trap calories so they are flushed away and cannot be absorbed, and, 3. increase the body's ability to burn calories for about three hours after each meal. These breakthroughs make weight loss incredibly easy, without calorie counting or deprivation. This diet encourages people to eat, not to stop eating. Dr. Barnard also reveals that some of the foods we think are good for us can actually be harmful, like salmon, goat cheese, and coconut oil, all of which pass easily into body fat...and often overstay their welcome. To make it easy, Dr. Barnard includes a simple to follow meal plan that includes delicious, and even indulgent plant-based recipes which include foods we have often been told to avoid, like potatoes and pasta, so you can eat real food, and still lose real weight.

Neurohacker Everyone wants to slow down the signs of aging, but very few people are going about it the right way. The negative aspects of aging are one of the most ubiquitous challenges to quality of life. Scientists believe that part of the reason we experience aging the way we do is because of stressed or worn-out cells called senescent cells.* Qualia Senolytic combines our legendary "complexity science" formulation approach with science-backed ingredients shown to help decrease senescent cells. Its goals are similar to those of pruning a plant: support efficient use of cellular resources, encourage the regeneration of more youthful cells, and ultimately support tissue health and appearance—promoting whole-body cellular rejuvenation.

I put together a collection of healing stories with the intention to inspire readers that the body is designed to heal itself if given the tools that it needs to do so! On today's episode we've got chapters 18-21: Chapter 18: Why Ulcerative Colitis is The Best Thing That Happened to Me By Vince Lia Chapter 19: Dying to Be Pretty: Healing from Breast Implant Illness and Putting Health Before Vanity By Christina Roulund Chapter 20: Food Heals The Soul Marina Yanay-Triner Chapter 21: Healing Our Body By Healing Our Soul Kristie Reeves About Food Heals: Witnessing her mother and father — in short succession — lose their lives to cancer, Allison Melody endured significant trauma in her 20s. Why did their bodies fail them? Why did the doctors have no answers? This tragic loss instilled in Allison an unwavering passion for nutrition and propelled her into the world of holistic health and healing. She vowed to honor her parents' memory by dedicating her life to finding a way to heal the body naturally. After interviewing hundreds who have healed themselves of chronic and degenerative diseases for her film Powered By Plants and podcast Food Heals, Allison now firmly believes that the body has the ability to heal itself when given the tools it needs to do so.

464: How to Save Time and Money in the Kitchen and Go Vegan Effortlessly: Meal Planning, Batch Cooking, Budgeting, Recipes, Resources & Healthy Food Swaps
If you're surprised and frustrated by high prices at the grocery store, you are not alone. National data shows that grocery shopping and dining out are more expensive than ever. The latest data from the Agriculture Department shows consumers spent 11.3% of their disposable income on food in 2022. This means that Americans are currently spending more on food than they have in over 30 years. I'm certainly seeing this in my own life. I've just returned from a trip to Tulum, and don't worry, I'll be sharing more about that journey on my podcast soon. Tacos that used to be $5 are now $15; a veggie burger that used to be $8 is now $18. But what can we do about this? Well, personally, I feel it's my mission to make sure that no matter the cost of food, we all still feel empowered and inspired to make healthy choices and to not let this inflation deter us from our health goals. So today, I have rounded up the best experts on saving money while eating well. First up is Kathy Davis, the CEO of VegInspired. She'll be discussing how to eat healthy on a budget, her personal experience losing 30 pounds when she went plant-based, tips on food prep, and advice on when to buy in bulk. Then we've got Food Heals regular and Vegan Chef to the stars, Leslie Durso, here to talk about how to cook plant-based on a budget for yourself, eat seasonally to save money, and the secret ingredient that saves you money and enhances the flavors of your food. Next up is Founder of Vegan Dinner Club, formerly known as Batch Cooking Club, Stephanie Dreyer, who helps busy parents bring more ease to their meal prep and meal times. She's here to discuss Meal Planning, family recipes, batch cooking, plus her favorite healthy swaps. Next, we'll be speaking with Toni Okamoto, author of Plant-Based on a Budget: Delicious Vegan Recipes for Under $30 a Week. She'll be sharing insights on saving time and money in the kitchen, meal planning, buying in bulk, growing your own food, and more. And finally, we've got Whitney Lauritsen sharing the best apps, websites, and resources to thrive on a vegan diet. 🌟 SPECIAL OFFER FOR THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY ONLY 🌟 When you purchase The Food Freedom bundle you will receive: Food Freedom E-book: The Manifestation Method to Crush Cravings, Banish Body Shame & End Emotional Eating For Good - Instant Download!

Neurohacker Everyone wants to slow down the signs of aging, but very few people are going about it the right way. The negative aspects of aging are one of the most ubiquitous challenges to quality of life. Scientists believe that part of the reason we experience aging the way we do is because of stressed or worn-out cells called senescent cells.* Qualia Senolytic combines our legendary "complexity science" formulation approach with science-backed ingredients shown to help decrease senescent cells. Its goals are similar to those of pruning a plant: support efficient use of cellular resources, encourage the regeneration of more youthful cells, and ultimately support tissue health and appearance—promoting whole-body cellular rejuvenation.

Do you ever wonder why diets work at first and you fall off track? What is the key to consistency? When you're fed up with asking "How do I resist food temptations?" and are ready to discover "How do I become the person who is no longer tempted by food?"– Aki Shapiro is here to help.

She's academically, practically, and empathetically aware of how the medical system, diet culture, and body positivity movements all have their own flavor of crazy.

Ali's work and clients' unique success has been featured in Well + Good, Mindbodygreen, Prevention, Women's Health, and Forbes, as well as industry leading podcasts Being Boss, Tell Me Something True, and Food Heaven (and now Food Heals of course!)

461: Movement Is Medicine: Overcoming Chronic Pain By Understanding How Our Fascia Works with Anna Rahe
What is fascia and why is it an essential tool to help your body heal itself? Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber, and muscle in place. The tissue does more than provide internal structure; fascia has nerves that make it almost as sensitive as skin. My guest today, Anna Rahe, shares her personal journey to overcoming chronic pain by learning about our fascia's ability to heal itself when given the proper tools. In her own journey, she's discovered how understanding the way fascia works in our bodies can be the key to overcoming chronic pain and unlocking the body's potential to heal itself. Picture this – 20 years of pain, wiped away by tapping into the fascinating ability of fascia to contract and release, acting as a built-in therapist for our muscles, nerves, and organs. As the founder, CEO, and educator of GST Body, Anna has spoken about holistic body care through fascia around the world, partnered with top athletes, surgeons, physicians, and celebrities, and been featured in various publications, from Shape to Elle, Net-a-Porter to The Wall Street Journal.

458: The Truth About "The Secret," How Guided Meditation Helps You Trust Your Intuition, and How To Reach Your Goal in 100 Days (New Years 2024 Series Part 2)
What do you want to create this year? How will you make 2024 the best year yet? What steps can you take today that will lead to a better tomorrow? Asking myself these very questions inspired me to go back and listen to some of our favorite stories from Food Heals. I put together a collection of incredible stories to inspire you to create the life you want and reach your goals in 2024. This is Part 2 of our New Year Series where we are chatting about how to reach your goals with grace and ease in 2024 and beyond. My personal formula for this is Appreciate, Believe, Take Action, Receive. Appreciate: First, we have to get into the appreciation of what we do have. Appreciating the abundance around us sets the foundation for welcoming more things into our lives to appreciate. Believe: Belief is the building block of creating the life we crave. We have to believe that we can have more, that we can have what it is we desire, that we deserve what it is we desire, and we have to dissolve the blocks that hold us back from believing. Take Action: Then, we have to take action steps towards our goals. Dreams thrive on action. Taking tangible steps toward our goals is vital—it's the bridge that connects our dreams to reality. Receive: Finally, we can relax with an inner knowing that we will now receive. We can be open and willing to receive without attachment to the outcome and with the thought of, "This or something better for the highest good of all concerned." This paves the way for unexpected blessings and blocks anything that's not meant for us from coming in. Let me know if that resonates with you; I'd love to hear from you! In today's episode you'll hear from some of our favorite guests and some of their magical manifestation stories: "The Truth About 'The Secret'" with Jason Wrobel "How Guided Meditation Helps You Trust Your Intuition" with Katie Krimitsos "How To Reach Your Goal in 100 Days" with John Lee Dumas Check out my brand new ebook: The Food Freedom Formula: The Manifestation Method to Crush Cravings, Banish Body Shame & End Emotional Eating For Good Would you like to manifest the life and body of your dreams this year?

456: Three Transformational Tools for Setting Intentions PLUS Mindset Motivation with Dilan Abeya
Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year! I hope you're enjoying some time with the people you love. It's a time for family, fun festivities, cooking, baking, and gift-giving. But it's also a time that can bring up a list of traumas to the surface, challenge us, and remind us of those we have lost who aren't with us to celebrate. And it can give us pause for self-reflection: What do we want to bring in the new year, and what do we want to leave behind? What do we want to create? Who do we want to be? What do we want to change? This can bring up both worry and excitement. So, that's what today's episode is going to dive into—setting intentions for a brand new year. First, I'll be sharing my 3 TOOLS for getting into ALIGNMENT with your intentions. Not just setting them, but the tools to get into alignment to make sure they happen—with grace and ease. Then, I'll be speaking with Dilan Abeya, who says that working on aspects of yourself that "no one can take away from you" is critical: your mindset, character, personality, fitness, and mental well-being. Dilan turned to fitness after overcoming personal hardships, and finding strength and focus in regular gym sessions. His candid journey, shared transparently on Instagram, not only motivates but also highlights his dedication to coaching and helping others. Thank You to Our Sponsors!

455: Why Essential Amino Acids Are the Secret to Longevity, Fat Loss, Muscle Building, and More with Angelo Keely
What are aminos, and why are they vitally important for plant-based dieters? How does building muscle help us age in reverse? What are Kion aminos, and why are they essential to our health? These questions and more are answered by CEO of Kion, Angelo Keely, on today's episode of Food Heals. Angelo Keely was born in Austin, Texas, and raised there on a foundation of organic, mostly vegetarian whole foods, along with an array of supplements. After surviving a stabbing and being left for dead, he woke up in the hospital with a completely new outlook on life.

454: Plant Medicine Part 3: Finding Radical Compassion and Healing PTSD with Former Police Officer Nick Motycka
How might psychedelics, also known as plant medicine, revolutionize our approach to mental health by offering swift healing for lifelong trauma and PTSD for people in traumatic jobs such as police officers without the need for prolonged traditional therapy? What are the legal ramifications of growing and consuming plant medicine? Asking questions like these is what led to this three part series on Food Heals where we are discussing how plant medicine can help us heal. In this series you are hearing brand new interviews with leading experts in the field of psychedelics who share their personal healing journey as well as how you can access the power of plants to heal yourself as well - Maybe you heard out last episode with Derek the founder Pachamama Sanctuary, and you are ready for your own Ayahuasca retreat or perhaps you want to grow plant medicine at home like Paul taught us in the first episode in the series. Or perhaps you'll be inspired by today's guest current clothing designer and former police officer Nick Motycka who healed 15 years worth of job-related trauma. Nick Motycka was a police officer who was suffering from job related trauma and PTSD. Traditional therapies didn't work, so he explored plant medicine. In a breakthrough session, he processed 15 years of trauma in one day, shifting from severe PTSD to no longer meeting the criteria for a diagnosis. His mind was blown. Now free from trauma's effects, Nick resigned from law enforcement, aligning his life with his values, and founded a clothing company, Flow State Designs. Flow State Designs isn't just about clothes; it's a lifestyle. Nick focuses on using the best textiles, made by workers earning fair wages in Canada, minimizing environmental impact. His hope is that the brand enhances well-being and helps individuals find their unique flow in life. Thank You to Our Sponsors!

453: Plant Medicine Part 2: with The Journey to Sobriety Through Ayahuasca with Derek Januszewski
Despite their controversial reputation, psychedelics are being widely used by doctors, shamans, retreat leaders, and more across the world to treat trauma and PTSD. Whether it's Psilocybin, Ayahuasca, or another form of plant medicine, rapid healing can occur when using these medicinal plants. So, how do we learn to unlock the rapid healing power of these psychedelics? Imagine addressing lifelong trauma, PTSD, addiction, and more within minutes, without the need for years of traditional therapy. Contemplating questions like these inspired this three-part series on Food Heals, where we discuss the healing power of plant medicine. In this series, you'll hear brand-new interviews with leading experts in the field of psychedelics who share their personal healing journey, as well as how you can access the power of plants to heal yourself. Whether you want to grow medicine at home like Paul taught us last time or go to a retreat center like Derek will tell us about today, there is an option for you to explore if plant medicine is right for you. In the first episode of this series, you heard from Paul Austin, the CEO of Third Wave, a pioneer reshaping our perceptions of psychedelics and guiding on growing your own plant medicine at home. In today's episode, part two of our series, I'm talking to Derek Januszewski, the founder of Pachamama Sanctuary, an Ayahuasca retreat center. He'll share the story of how plant medicine assisted in his journey to overcome childhood abuse and a decade-long battle with addiction. Through intense inner work, extensive engagement with medicine, and countless hours of service, Derek has healed much of his trauma. The spiritual healing he received through plant medicine inspired him to start Pachamama Sanctuary, aiming to help others find their own path to health and happiness. Pachamama Sanctuary, an Ayahuasca center in Southern Maine, was founded in 2019. Since its inception, its mission has been to elevate collective consciousness through the sacrament of Ayahuasca—a tea derived from plants in the Amazon rainforest. It has facilitated profound insights and clarity into past traumas, offering a chance for peace, especially for those grappling with addiction, PTSD, or negative cycles. Stay tuned for part 3, where I speak with former police officer Nick Motycka, who healed 15 years' worth of job-related trauma. He transitioned from being clinically diagnosed with severe PTSD to no longer meeting the criteria for a diagnosis through the use of plant medicine. Thank You to Our Sponsors!

452: Plant Medicine Part 1: Microdosing Magic Mushrooms and the Healing Power of Psychedelics with Paul Austin
Whether it's Psilocybin, Ayahuasca, MDMA, or even LSD, Psychedelics have been given a bad name over the years, but what is the truth about these demonized drugs? Do they fit the drug category or do they fit the plant medicine category? What if we could unlock their healing power in a matter of minutes, addressing lifelong trauma and PTSD without years of therapy? These questions are what inspired this three part series on Food Heals where we are discussing the healing power of plant medicine. In this series you'll hear brand new interviews with leading experts in the field of psychedelics who share their personal healing journey as well as how you can access the power of plants to heal yourself as well. Enter my first guest, Paul Austin, the CEO of Third Wave, and a pioneer in reshaping our perceptions of psychedelics. Through his companies, Third Wave and Synthesis, he has helped lay the groundwork for legal, mainstream access to psychedelic medicine that has long been stigmatized. Because of his efforts at the intersection of psychedelic use, personal transformation, and professional success, Paul's work has been featured in the BBC, Forbes, WebMD, Business Insider, and Rolling Stone. Tune into learning how microdosing can help us in our personal and professional lives, how to find a safe space for healing, and what you can do at home to grow your own plant medicine. And then stay tuned because this is Part 1 of our three part series. In Part 2, I'm talking to Derek Januszewski, the founder of Pachamama Sanctuary, which is an Ayahuasca retreat center and he'll share the story of how plant medicine assisted in his journey to sobriety. And finally in part 3, I'll speak with former police officer, Nick Motycka who healed 15 years worth of job-related trauma and went from being clinically diagnosed with severe PTSD to no longer meeting the criteria for a diagnosis through the use of plant medicine.

It poses significant health and environmental risks, lingering in the environment for extended periods and disrupting normal cell development. Exposure to glyphosate has been linked to neurotoxic effects, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and more. It's a scary topic, but it's part of our food system, so we have to address it. Which brings me to today's guest. You remember Shanais Pelka from episode 426. She is the Head of Research & Development at Organifi, passionate about food, herbs, medicinal mushrooms, sustainability, and community. In episode 426, she shared her story of overcoming a respiratory infection and platelet disorder using herbs and supplements. Today, she's back to share how to go Glyphosate-Free.

Did you know that physical clutter can also clutter up our minds, not to mention the dust cluttering up our bodies? But, lack of space is not the cause of clutter. Disorganization results in 80 percent of the clutter in most homes. In the average home, getting rid of clutter eliminates 40 percent of housework. Plus, most of us only use 20 percent of what we own! In the last two episodes, we heard from experts about the power of detoxing our homes, now it's time to declutter! First up, it's Wellness Expert Kimberly Van Der Beek, who shares her tips for decluttering, air-cleaning plants (that's right, plants that actually clean your air), and her top tips to thrive! Then I catch up with Janice McQueen, host of the Beauty Call podcast, who shares that her secret to clarity is decluttering and how she does it.

After Dr. Marty lost 20 pounds on a macrobiotic diet, he started treating his veterinary patients with diet, nutrition and alternative modalities. One of Dr. Marty's patients, a dog named Kaiser, had low energy, difficulty moving, and problems with his skin and coat. Dr. Goldstein put him on a Macrobiotic doggy diet and the results were remarkable. Kaiser's energy surged, his coat gleamed, and his digestive system regained regularity. Even at 11 years old, Kaiser's best years were ahead of him, thanks to Dr. Marty's intervention. And he's been helping pets through his work as a doctor, author and star of the documentary film, The Dog Doc ever since. If you missed part one of Dr. Marty's interview, don't forget go back to episode 439 of Food Heals. Plus - Stick around until the end of this episode, where I'll share the incredible healing stories of my own dogs, Jackson and Charlotte, and how I strive to keep my current beagle, Lily, healthy AF.

439: The Miracle-Working Veterinarian: Transforming Pet Health One Paw at a Time with Dr. Marty Goldstein
Meet Dr. Marty Goldstein, a seasoned veterinarian who's seen a dramatic shift in pet health over the last 25 years. In the past, cancer mainly struck older pets, but now even puppies aren't spared. Dr. Goldstein blames this change on generations of pets raised on lousy diets (yes, kibble, we're looking at you) and constant exposure to chemicals like flea repellents. The real kicker? Sixty percent of Dr. Goldstein's animal patients come to him with acute illnesses, often after being given up on by other vets who recommend extreme treatments or even euthanasia. But here's the good news: Dr. Goldstein's unique approach to pet health is changing the game. He can significantly improve the quality of life for 50% of cancer patients and 80% of those with degenerative diseases. How? By going beyond traditional methods and using a blend of herbs, vitamins, supplements, acupuncture, and more. His integrative approach can extend a cancer patient's life by 50% to 60% compared to standard treatments. You can see Dr. Goldstein's work in action in the documentary "The Dog Doc" and learn more in his books, "The Nature of Animal Healing" and "The Spirit of Animal Healing." He's even sharing his wisdom with the prestigious Cornell University. Forbes Magazine dubbed him the "Miracle Worker" for his game-changing contributions to veterinary medicine. He's been a guest on national TV shows like The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Martha Stewart Show, and Good Morning America. Dr. Marty Goldstein is a pioneer, showing us that sometimes the best way to care for our furry friends is by thinking outside the kibble box. Thank You to Our Sponsors!

438: Empowerment Over Fear: Taking Control of Your Health
"Fascist, out of touch, crass, privileged, dumb" – just some of the names I was called online yesterday when a very prominent newspaper posted an extremely fear-mongering article about a COVID comeback, basically insinuating we should stay inside over Labor Day weekend. As you well know, being outside is one of the best things you can do for your mental, emotional, and physical health. So, I posted that maybe, just maybe, we could take into consideration the health benefits of vitamins, vegetables, exercise, and sunshine. The comment section went berserk. My little comment set the internet ablaze. I literally wrote that comment and didn't think twice about it. I went about my day and forgot about it. So, I'm at the gym this morning, doing the leg machine, listening to a podcast, and the podcast mentioned how the news was starting to fear-monger about staying inside again. I thought, 'Oh yeah, I wonder if anyone responded to my comment.' That's when I saw it. People were going nuts, fighting each other in the comment section under my comment. Some supported what I said, while others attacked me and each other, calling names left and right. My question is, when the heck did being healthy become so polarizing, and why does it trigger so many people? When did it become normal for the news to act as a medium of fear-mongering rather than as a medium of truth and facts? Now, I choose not to live in fear. I choose to live in empowerment. I know the body is designed to heal itself when given the tools it needs to do so. Don't let your government, your politicians, or your doctors tell you otherwise. Don't buy into the fear. Don't buy into the politicization of health. Politics today just want to define us and divide us. My goal is to live a long, strong, healthy, joyful life free from chronic degenerative disease. So many people are living in fear and in the expectation that they are going to get sick, that being in a chronic disease state is inevitable or genetic. No, it's not. Nothing is inevitable. You are in control. You have the power to choose health every day. I have never had COVID. I rarely ever get sick. I've talked to some other people like me who have avoided getting sick this whole time, and I wondered if I knew what my healing protocol is. I have shared it on this show before. I know what works for me, but I was curious – what are the commonalities between me and others who have not gotten sick? So, I wanted to share those with you today.

435: The Truth About Lab-Grown Meat, Holistic Healing for Gynecological Cancer, and a Controversial (but Special) Announcement
First, I'm answering your questions about lab-grown meat, then I am talking to Dr. Deepika Krishna about healing gynecological cancer, and finally I'll be covering one of the most controversial topics of our time and making a very special announcement. Part 1: What's The Deal with Lab-Grown Meat? With Bruce Friedrich Lab-grown meat, also known as cultured meat, is a big advancement in making food in a better way. Instead of raising lots of animals on farms, scientists grow just the muscle part of animals in labs. This helps solve problems like hurting animals and harming the environment. Lab-grown meat has great advantages: it can stop animals from suffering on farms, give us healthier meat, and help our planet by causing less pollution and using fewer resources. Bruce Friedrich is co-founder and executive director of The Good Food Institute (GFI.org), a nonprofit organization that promotes healthy and sustainable alternatives to industrially produced meat, dairy, and eggs. Bruce is the co-author of Clean Protein: The Revolution that Will Reshape Your Body, Boost Your Energy—and Save Our Planet Part 2: Taking a Holistic Approach to Gynecological Cancer with Dr. Deepika Krishna Dr. Deepika Krishna is an Integrative Health Coach and accomplished gynecologist, specializing in supporting people in their journey towards healing from chronic lifestyle ailments while promoting immunity and long-lasting well-being. Her expertise extends to gynecological cancers, and she places a strong emphasis on strengthening the body's defense mechanisms to ward off diseases, including cancer and other persistent health issues. Driven by personal experience, she embarked on a holistic mission to restore her own health after facing hormonal imbalances that traditional medical approaches couldn't resolve. This profound journey led her to recognize the importance of considering the entire body, rather than just symptoms, allowing her to better guide her patients towards comprehensive wellness. Her commitment to this approach is reflected in her work, aimed at empowering others to achieve optimal health and vitality.

434: Nutritional Genetics, The Truth About Keto, Healing Multiple Sclerosis, and More with a Gastroenterologist
In today's episode of Food Heals, we delve into the transformative journey of Dr. Marvin Singh, an integrative gastroenterologist who believes in the power of nutritional genetics and gut health to achieve true wellness. Dr. Singh's Awakening: A medical doctor struggling with weight issues and early signs of fatty liver disease, Dr. Marvin Singh realized his lack of knowledge about nutrition. To bridge this gap, he pursued an integrative medicine fellowship, discovering a holistic approach that combines conventional methods with nutrition, genetics, and meditation. Within just three months of applying these principles to his life, he shed 40 pounds, a turning point that inspired his path towards helping others heal themselves. Understanding the Microbiome: Central to Dr. Singh's approach is the microbiome, the community of friendly bacteria in the gut. Supporting these beneficial bacteria is crucial for optimal well-being, as they influence hormone release and emotional well-being. Gut Health and Chronic Diseases: The gut houses 70% of the immune system and plays a vital role in protecting against chronic diseases and autoimmune conditions. Chronic inflammation, triggered by factors like diet, stress, and toxins, can lead to these conditions if left unchecked. The Power of Nutritional Genetics: Recognizing that everyone's gut composition is unique, Dr. Singh emphasizes the significance of nutritional genetics in tailoring individual healing approaches. Understanding your genes, microbiome, and food sensitivities helps identify the best-suited diet for you. Lifestyle Matters: Beyond nutrition and genetics, lifestyle plays a significant role in wellness. Dr. Singh advises focusing on quality sleep, exercise, stress management, and activities that bring joy. Check out Dr. Singh's free e-book, the 4-Week Gut Reset, or send him a message on social media. Thank You to Our Sponsors!

432: Food Heals Book Club: Physical, Emotional & Spiritual Stories to Nourish Your Soul and Transform Your Health (Book Club Chapters 1-4)
You probably remember that I released my book, "Food Heals: Physical, Emotional & Spiritual Stories to Nourish Your Soul and Transform Your Health" back in December 2019. It was an anthology filled with inspiring healing stories from amazing people, designed to show readers how our bodies can heal themselves when provided with the right tools. The plan was to kick off a book tour in March 2020 to connect with all of you, but as you can guess, fate had other plans. Just after my first book signing in Orlando, the world went into lockdown mode, and my entire book tour was canceled. It was heartbreaking, but I refused to let that be the end of the journey for "Food Heals" "Food Heals" is more than just a book to me. It's a passion project that resonates with my belief in the incredible power of healing through food. The book contains a collection of heartfelt stories that speak to the core of the human experience. Just like the beloved "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series, "Food Heals" touches upon the triumph of the human spirit over adversity, reminding us all that we are capable of remarkable healing. "Chicken Soup for the Vegan Soul" if you will ;) The pandemic threw a major curveball my way, and it felt like "Food Heals" didn't get the attention and promotion it deserved. But instead of dwelling on the disappointment, I decided to explore new ways to share the book's powerful message. That's when the idea of creating an audio version for Audible struck me, and I couldn't be more excited about it! Recording and editing the audio version of "Food Heals" has been an amazing journey. As I delve into each story, I feel a renewed sense of connection with the healing power they hold. I wanted to share this experience with all of you, Food Heals Nation, in the most intimate way possible. So, I decided to release each story free for you on The Food Heals Podcast. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions for me, recording and reliving each narrative, but it fills me with immense joy to do it. Every story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the miraculous healing that can occur when we nourish our bodies with the right tools. In this first "book club episode, I will read Chapters 1-4 of the book: Chapter 1: Turning Pain Into Purpose and Trauma Into Triumph By Allison Melody Chapter 2: What is a Food Heals Story? By Allison Melody Chapter 3: You Can Transform Helpless Health Struggles into Vibrant Life and Vitality By Dr. Stephen Cabral Chapter 4: If I Can Heal Myself, So Can You By Abby Phon Thank you for being a part of this beautiful journey with me!

431: Finding Humor in Big Kid Problems: Navigating Life, Motherhood, and Everything In Between with Sarah Merrill Hall
In today's episode, we've got an exciting lineup of health segments you won't want to miss! I'll start off by sharing the most important health headlines of the week, including a new book by Darin Olien, co-host of the Netflix series Down to Earth with Zac Efron. The book is called Fatal Conveniences, and I'll be covering the top 5 safety tips to protect yourself from cell phone radiation. Then I'll discuss the importance of filtering your tap water. A recent study conducted by the US Geological Survey has revealed that almost half of the tap water in the US is contaminated with "forever chemicals" known as PFAS. These chemicals pose significant risks to human health. We'll be exploring how you can protect yourself by using carbon water filters, implementing detoxification strategies, and adopting a plant-based diet. Next, I'm excited to introduce our guest today, Sarah Merrill Hall (also a Nashville local so you'll be hearing from her lots!) If you're in need of some fun and relatable content to brighten up your day, you'll love Sarah's brand, Big Kid Problems. With a massive Instagram following of over half a million, Sarah brings humor and relatability to everyday struggles. Her mission is to help her followers embrace their imperfections, find laughter during tough times, and live their best lives. Sarah's content took a turn when she became a new mom! Enter the next era of Big Kid Problems with Bottle Service, a pregnancy and motherhood podcast. Sarah shares her experiences and insights, from her ultimate C-section recovery guide to candidly discussing her challenges with breastfeeding. Bottle Service is here to open up a new conversation surrounding motherhood. During our chat, Sarah and I cover various topics, including adulting, building her brand, her journey of becoming a first-time mom, and even dive into my favorite unhealthy reality obsession, the scandal that just won't die - Scandoval!

430: Food as Medicine: Reversing Ulcerative Colitis With These Little Known Healing Tools
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease of the large intestine, wherein the lining of the colon becomes inflamed and develops small open sores, known as ulcers. The symptoms associated with this condition can be painful and debilitating, as our guests will vividly share today. Currently, Western medicine focuses on managing symptoms through medication. However, did you know that many individuals are successfully healing themselves of this chronic condition through dietary changes? It's true. And today, I have the pleasure of introducing three guests who have achieved exactly that - they have healed themselves through the power of plants. First up, we have Vince Lia. Vince was told by two different doctors that his ulcerative colitis would never truly disappear, even with medication. To add to the confusion, they also advised him not to consume vegetables. Does that make any sense? Vince didn't think so either. You won't believe what he did next! Next, we have Nicole Davidsohn. When Nicole was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, she believed things couldn't get any worse. However, she then experienced a traumatic brain injury, leading to months of pain, medication, and fatigue. Nicole was on the brink of giving up... until she discovered a plant-based food that miraculously helped her heal both her colitis and her brain injury simultaneously! Then she even used it to heal her pup! This is one story you don't want to miss! And finally, we have Lean Green Dad, Cory Warren. Cory's wife was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis just six months before their wedding. They made the bold decision to completely change their lifestyle and adopt a plant-based diet to heal her condition, resulting in incredible outcomes for the entire family. You need to hear their inspiring story! These stories and more are featured on this episode of Food Heals. Stay tuned as we explore the profound impact of plant-based nutrition on the lives of our guests and discover the transformative power of food in healing and reversing chronic disease.
