Throughout the years we have heard some crazy, sometimes shocking stories on Food Heals and this is the third installment of our shocking series. Last time you heard from Milo Runkle and Cody Carlson, two undercover investigators for Mercy for Animals who were able to shed light on animal cruelty and continue to fight to change the laws around animal abuse on factory farms. And today, we have two incredible guests sharing their stories of healing through the power of food and lifestyle changes. Our first guest is John Salley, a former NBA player turned vegan activist and restaurant owner. You may know him from his basketball career, but what you may not know is how he used a vegan diet and colonics to heal himself from high cholesterol and a compacted colon. John's journey to health inspired him to help others, including our second guest, Megan Brophy. Megan's story is truly amazing. Despite feeling healthy and energetic while living on a diet of burgers and junk food, her chance meeting with John Salley changed her life. After going vegan and making major lifestyle changes, Megan discovered her body was full of parasites, causing severe acne and other health issues. With perseverance and a parasite cleanse, Megan's skin cleared up and she continues to thrive on her healing journey. Both John and Megan offer incredible insight into the power of nutrition and lifestyle changes to transform our health and wellbeing. So sit back, relax, and enjoy these inspiring conversations on Food Heals. Thank You to Our Sponsors!

In today's episode of Food Heals, you'll hear from two incredible undercover investigators from Mercy For Animals who endured witnessing animal cruelty to shed a light on animal abuse and change the laws around factory farming. In our first clip we hear from Mercy For Animals Undercover Investigator, Cody Carlson. Cody heard about Mercy For Animals when he was a private investigator for a business intelligence firm. Moved by their work, he reached out to the founder, Milo (Nathan) Runkle. Before he knew it, Cody had quit his job, grown a goatee and become an undercover animal rights investigator. It was a wild ride. Working undercover as a farm hand is exhausting physical work and emotionally intense. He witnessed how over 4,000 cows were kept constantly pregnant, saw newborn calves torn from their mothers and left to die, or sold for slaughter. He saw how much the animals wanted to play, to be loved. His footage of workers' cruelty and the atrocities committed in the farm was broadcast by the media and resulted in legislation that changed how these animals are treated. And that was it. He was hooked. He went to law school and is now one of Mercy for Animal's attorneys. In our second clip, we hear from the Founder of Mercy For Animals, Milo Runkle. Milo grew up on a farm in a small town. At 15 years old, after witnessing the brutal murder of a piglet, he founded Mercy for Animals. He started by carrying out open rescues: going into farms' undercover and rescuing injured animals. Trawling through manure pits, witnessing first-hand the cruel conditions, and investigating the horror of slaughterhouses made him even more determined to give animals a voice and drive positive change in the world.

Throughout the years, we have heard some crazy and sometimes shocking stories on Food Heals. In this series, we're sharing the best of the best. You'll hear about a woman who had only 11 hours to escape from an abusive husband with her daughter in tow without letting him find out. You'll also hear from an actress who survived not one but TWO near-death experiences, a basketball player who proved that you don't need meat for muscle and can be a healthy, athletic vegan, a health coach who discovered where parasites really live in the body and how to remove them for good (hint: it's not pretty), and undercover investigators who endured witnessing animal cruelty to shed light on animal abuse and change the laws around factory farming. In the first episode in the series, the Alli and Suzy throw it back to episodes 194 and 126, where they interview two inspiring women who have overcome shocking, difficult challenges in their lives. In Part 1, they speak with Rosie Aiello, a survivor of an abusive relationship who eventually made "the great escape" from her abusive husband with her daughter in tow. Rosie is now a successful entrepreneur, coach, and author who is on a mission to help other women escape abusive relationships and thrive. In Part 2, they interview Maura Knowles, a survivor of two near-death experiences who turned her health struggles into a musical comedy and a line of healthy treats. Maura Knowles lay on the operating table, awake. A routine procedure that should have taken a few minutes had turned into a life-threatening operation. She was only 20. Everything that could have gone wrong in hospital, did—pancreatitis, infections, misdiagnoses, you name it. She survived not one near death experience, but two! Her fighting spirit and the support of her family pulled her through. Thank You to Our Sponsors! Athletic Greens Who else wants free Vitamin D for a year?

Could your household skincare and beauty products be destroying your health? Today's guest found out the hard way and after healing herself made it her mission to help others do the same. Stephanie Greenwood was suffering from a whole host of hormone related conditions including PCOS. After discovering that many environmental toxins mimic estrogen in the body, and these xenoestrogens were present in the personal care products she was using on her skin, Stephanie went on to create her own company Bubble and Bee with safe, organic products that will not disrupt our hormones. In his episode of Food Heals, Stephanie shares her personal journey of overcoming hormone imbalances, healing from trauma, and starting her own business. She also provides insights on her four pillars for healing PCOS, which include dietary principles, environmental toxins, the best supplements for PCOS, and emotional/trauma healing. Stephanie's Story: Stephanie shares how, at the age of 28, she was diagnosed with adenomyosis, a condition that causes heavy menstrual bleeding and painful periods. Her doctors suggested that she either undergo a hysterectomy or have a baby to cure the condition. Feeling frustrated with the lack of options, Stephanie began researching the root cause of her hormonal imbalances. She discovered that many environmental toxins mimic estrogen in the body, and these xenoestrogens were present in the personal care products she was using on her skin. Stephanie searched for products without harmful chemicals, but even the products in health food stores contained parabens and phthalates. As a chemist, Stephanie decided to take matters into her own hands and started making her own products. After receiving rave reviews from friends and family who tried her products, she decided to start selling them at farmer's markets. In 2007, Bubble & Bee Organic was born, and within a year, they landed their first wholesale account with Whole Foods and launched their website. Bubble & Bee Organic Today: Today, more than 15 years later, Bubble & Bee Organic is still going strong. They manufacture everything in-house in their USDA-certified organic processing facility in the Rocky Mountains of Utah. By manufacturing in-house, they can ensure that their products are of high quality, and they can ship out small, fresh batches. Stephanie and her team take pride in their work, and they strive to never compromise their standards, even if it means staying small.

Lyme disease can cause a range of symptoms, including fever, rash, joint pain, and fatigue, even arthritis, heart problems, and neurological issues. In the last two episodes, we spoke to Devon Dionne, Adrienne Nolan-Smith, and Robin Shirley who all used varying combinations of nutrition, detoxification, and alternative medicine to heal their Lyme disease. In this episode, you will hear Dr. Stephan Cabral give a listener advice on her Lyme disease. Then we chat with Aimee Valpone, who shares her harrowing story of overcoming Lyme and how changing her diet and learning how to detox saved her life when she was at death's door. Dr. Stephen Cabral is a board-certified Naturopath, Ayurvedic, Functional Medicine and Integrative Health Practitioner. He is the founder, creator and teacher of the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute. In today's episode Dr. Cabral answer's a listener question about Lyme, Sibo and the FODMAP diet. Then we will hear from Amie Valpone and her journey to heal. For years, Aimee suffered from various ailments, including Lyme disease and PCOS, and conventional medicine failed to provide a diagnosis. Doctors treated her symptoms with pill after pill, but nothing seemed to work. Even when she was lying in a hospital bed with morphine dripping into her arm, her HR department contacted her to say they thought she was bluffing, because she was blogging. This was the moment when Aimee decided that if she survived, she would dedicate her life to helping others. And that's exactly what she did. As Aimee began detoxing, many emotional issues surfaced, including the trauma from years of looking for someone to diagnose her, not being believed, and searching for answers. She started to detox her entire life, including holistic practices such as cranial sacral therapy and energy healing. Aimee shares her story on her blog to help others heal themselves. She guides them through health tests, including one that checks for the MTHFR gene, without which the body cannot properly detoxify. She emphasizes that high toxicity is one of the main reasons the body gets ill. This is where detoxing is incredibly powerful because it essentially gets the bad stuff out of your body. Eating organic foods helps the body cope with the bombardment of toxins. If you're interested in learning more about Aimee's journey and the power of detoxing, be sure to check out her book, Eating Clean: The 21-Day Plan to Detox, Fight Inflammation, and Reset Your Body.

Robin was diagnosed with Systemic Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis and chronic Lyme disease when she was just 11 years old. She suffered from painful joints, inflammation, rashes, fatigue, fevers. The heavy medication she was prescribed caused digestive problems, nausea and hair loss. The drugs also suppressed Robin's immune system, causing frequent infections and affecting all parts of her life. At just 23, Robin's life looked set towards pain and disability. However, now 27, she's healthy, free from pharmaceuticals and running the company of her dreams. The journey to health wasn't simple—at the time, childhood autoimmune disorders weren't common and doctors were unsure what to do. Robin's family was into healthy living and tried many different therapies to alleviate her symptoms – from juicing to acupressure to consultations with healers. But nothing worked. "We weren't doing the right things," says Robin. She soon realized there was a definite link between her illness and the foods she ate; wanting to commit to a healthy holistic life, she left college to study at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Within a few months of starting at the Institute, Robin was giving cookery lessons, which soon evolved into one-on-one sessions and weekend yoga retreats. She was helping others whilst also helping herself. "The career and my health happened simultaneously," she says, reflecting on how coaching others keeps her committed to a healthy lifestyle. Determined to get better, she started by giving her immune system what it was craving, what it needed to function optimally. She included plenty of antimicrobial and antibacterial foods, such as herbs and spices, in her diet, in combination with other holistic treatments like aromatherapy. Although this helped her to feel better, the real turning point in her health was when she was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease and began a Lyme-specific treatment protocol. Changing her diet and taking herbs from the Cowden protocol got Robin back on track with her health, but she still struggled with fatigue and depression. When she started detoxing her body from heavy metals, her body healed and her health improved dramatically. Where she once found it hard to walk up a flight of stairs, Robin can now work 12 hour days, go out afterwards and still feel full of energy. She talks us through heavy metal chelation, the key issues to watch out for and how to detox safely. Thank You to Our Sponsors!

Let's talk about Lyme disease. It's a bacterial infection caused by the bite of an infected tick and it's pretty prevalent in the US with over 300,000 cases reported each year. But here's the thing, conventional medicine usually only treats the symptoms of Lyme disease with antibiotics, which can have negative side effects and don't address the root cause of the disease. That's where functional medicine comes in. It offers an alternative approach to treating Lyme disease that focuses on supporting the body's natural healing processes. Functional medicine practitioners use a variety of tools and techniques to identify the underlying factors contributing to a patient's Lyme disease, such as genetic predispositions, environmental toxins, and nutritional deficiencies. That's why today I am bringing you some of the most inspiring stories of people who have healed themselves of lyme disease through functional medicine testing, nutrition, detoxification and alternative medicine. This is the Lyme series: This is the series to listen to or send a loved one who is suffering with Lyme and has exhausted all other options. There is hope. You can heal. First up, we roll a clip from episode 199 with Devon Dionne. Devon's wellness journey dates back to her late 20's. Despite being a dancer and appearing slim and healthy, she had a disordered relationship with food, and was pre-diabetic and pre-menopausal: her blood sugar and hormones were completely out of balance. And, she was suffering from Lyme disease. Through a combination of Gyrotonic training, holistic anti-aging strategies and nutrition, Devon completely healed her Lyme disease, balanced her hormones and now feels healthier than ever. Then we're throwing it back to episode 247 with Adrienne Nolan-Smith. Adrienne was diagnosed with Lyme disease at just 11 years old. Back then, doctors didn't know much about Lyme, how to recognize it, much less, how to treat it. Antibiotics weren't working, but Adrienne did not give up. She went on a route to heal herself and between a whole foods diet, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, alternative medicine and more Adrienne healed her body from Lyme disease. Thank You to Our Sponsors!

Did you know that chronic disease is the number one thing killing us in 2023? Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) kill 41 million people each year worldwide, equivalent to 71% of all deaths globally. That statistic is staggering. Don't become a statistic! Instead listen to today's episode of Food Heals with Katherine Maslen, Naturopath and Founder of The Shift Clinics in Australia. When addressing the cause of chronic disease, the number one thing we need to talk about is gut health. What do cancer, autoimmune diseases, allergies, mental health and fertility all have in common? The gut. That's right! Your microbiome does everything from digesting food to absorbing minerals to regulating your immune system and your hormones. All disease begins in the gut… and that's where healing begins as well! So in this week's episode we couldn't wait to interview an international expert on the topic of gut health, Katherine Maslen. Katherine got into nutrition after witnessing a close friend's journey through lupus, an autoimmune disease. As she got sicker, her medicine cabinet grew, yet none of these medications had any positive effect on her health. She passed away at just 52. Katherine knew there just had to be a better way. This is what led her to create the Shift Clinic, an international wellness company that is changing the face of health and empowering people to take control of their healing journey. Check out Katherine's book Get Well Stay Well to discover the secrets to get back in touch with your body and start thriving. Listen to the Shift Podcast. Thank You to Our Sponsors!

What is Vitamin L and why is it important? What are cover crops and what do we need to know about them? How can we grow wheatgrass, sprouts, microgreens and more at home? In episode 412 of Food Heals, Allison Melody interviews Parker Garlitz, co-founder of True Leaf Market, an independent non-GMO seed company that has been curating premium seed brands since 1974 to answer these questions and more. Parker says, the modern diet often lacks food that is actually alive when you eat it, as even grocery store produce has been off the vine for days to weeks before it gets to you. Living foods such as sprouts, microgreens, wheatgrass juice, and fresh garden produce eaten right after harvest can provide valuable nutrition. "We believe that everyone should have access to indoor and outdoor growing," said Garlitz. "We want to build and rebuild communities through growing by making it an accessible practice for all. We hope everyone can experience the joy of growing." Garlitz also discussed the benefits of growing cover crops, which he says is the most affordable and naturally sustainable way to revitalize garden soil for the coming growing season. True Leaf Market curates premium brands such as Mountain Valley Seeds for conventional, Sustainable Seeds for organics, Kitazawa Seeds for Asian varieties, Mountain Valley Hybrids for F1 varieties, and Handy Pantry for sprouting. The company is dedicated to helping anyone begin growing and provides customer support and online growing information. "We are intent on building strong relationships with suppliers, customers, and the home garden seed industry alike, to ensure that we are providing the best seed possible," said Garlitz. "We hope you'll make us your seed company of choice." Thank You to Our Sponsors!

Emotional eating is a common phenomenon that many people struggle with, but often goes unnoticed. It involves turning to food to cope with difficult emotions, rather than eating because you are hungry. Emotional eating can lead to consuming more calories than your body needs or can use, which can cause health problems. However, there are ways to overcome emotional eating and manifest true health by setting healthy boundaries and cultivating self-love. In this 2-part series, we will discuss mindful eating, emotional healing, self-doubt, and setting healthy boundaries. We'll explore some behaviors and thought patterns that may increase your likelihood of becoming an emotional eater, and how to change them. In the first two clips, Allison will discuss an overview of how to get healthy AF, then we'll talk about how to become aware of your emotional eating habits and how to change them with a food and mood journal. Then, we have JJ Flizanes discussing self-doubt, avoiding self-sabotage, emotional healing, and the law of attraction. JJ says we can't create long-lasting change when we are doing it from a place of "I'm not good enough" or "I'll be good enough when I am fit, healthy, thin." Instead, she encourages us to get healthy AF from a place of self-love. Learn more about JJ at JJFlizanes.com. Finally, we end with Laura Powers talking about how to set healthy boundaries. Laura emphasizes that whatever we are choosing, we get sent more of that. Therefore, it's essential to show the universe what we want more of by creating more of that in our lives every day.

Today we've got the health hazards that are not making enough headlines and what you need to know to keep yourself healthy after a disaster. Then I'm talking about the future of plant-based protein with Jonathan Golan and how his company Brevel is making microalgae for the masses. How to Detox After A Chemical Exposure: It's been 13 days since a train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in East Palestine. Fires broke out and residents evacuated. Officials had to burn off a dangerous chemical called vinyl chloride before it could explode, causing a toxic pillar of smoke to tower over the town for days. Unfortunately, the aftermath of the accident is still being felt, with dead fish appearing in the creeks, and local residents reporting sudden deaths of chickens and illnesses in their pets. If you have been affected by this disaster, it is imperative that you take your health back into your own hands and start a detox protocol. Make sure to drink filtered water, which can remove some of the contaminants. Using an air purifier in your home with an UltraHEPA filter, can also help reduce exposure to the dangerous chemicals in the air. Taking supplements like nascent iodine, superfoods, and probiotics can assist your body in the detoxings. We may not be able to control the disaster itself, but we can control our own health and safety by taking steps to limit our exposure to dangerous chemicals. The Future of Protein is Microalgae: Yonatan Golan is passionate about making the world a better place through sustainable nutrition, social change and cutting edge science. With his brothers he founded the company Brevel. Brevel makes microalgae alternative protein which is affordable, flavor and color neutral, highly functional, sustainable and scalable. Brevel is providing microalgae based alternative protein which is affordable, flavor and color neutral, highly functional, sustainable and at consistent and scalable production. Today we discuss why the future of protein is microalgae, colonizing Mars, and the truth about The Martian film with Matt Damon. Thank You to Our Sponsors!

Still suffering from the holiday blues? Is anxiety and depression holding you back from living the life of your dreams? What if a simple age-old practice could change everything? That's right, we're talking about meditation. Specifically, The Women's Meditation Network and how Katie Krimitsos created a meditation empire that can help you heal - emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Anxiety and depression are two of the most widespread mental health issues faced by people today. They can be overwhelming and make it difficult to live a happy and fulfilling life. Fortunately, meditation is an ancient practice that can help you overcome these challenges and promote overall health and wellbeing. The history of meditation dates back thousands of years, with its roots in ancient India. Over time, it has been adopted by different cultures and religions, each adapting it in their own unique way. Today, meditation is experiencing a resurgence in popularity, and there are numerous forms of meditation available, including mindfulness meditation, loving-kindness meditation, and body scan meditation. Meditation has been scientifically proven to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. By slowing down the activity of the mind and body, meditation can help reduce stress and anxiety, while also increasing feelings of happiness and wellbeing. These positive effects can counteract the negative effects of depression and lead to improved mental health. In addition to its mental health benefits, meditation has also been shown to have positive effects on physical health. It can help reduce pain, lower blood pressure, improve heart health, and enhance sleep. By promoting physical and mental wellness, meditation can help individuals live healthier lives. Katie Krimitsos is a leading advocate for meditation and its many benefits. Through her podcasts, Katie provides women with resources and guidance to help them incorporate meditation into their daily routines. Katie encourages people to "act as if" they already have what they want to manifest in their lives, and helps them not just survive, but thrive in all areas of their lives. Thank You to Our Sponsors!

Black mold, also known as Stachybotrys chartarum, is a type of fungus that can grow in damp or humid environments. It is commonly found in homes, and can have serious health effects on those who are exposed to it. Exposure to black mold can cause a wide range of symptoms, including allergic reactions, respiratory problems, headaches, cold and flu-like symptoms and so much more. People who have a weak immune system, such as children, the elderly, and those with chronic health conditions, are particularly at risk. Long-term exposure to black mold can even lead to serious conditions such as neurological damage and cancer. To detox your body after exposure to black mold, it is important to see a functional medicine practitioner and/or allergist. They will recommend a specific detox protocol based on your body to bring you back into balance. Additionally, it is important to focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including eating a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, and reducing stress. When it comes to mold remediation in your home, it is essential not just to have the mold cleaned up and removed, but also to address the source of the problem. This means finding and fixing any leaks, dampness, or other sources of moisture that may be contributing to the growth of black mold. It is also important to have professionals clean and disinfect any areas where mold is present, and to properly ventilate your home to reduce humidity levels. It is also necessary to bring in a professional mold remediation company to address a severe mold infestation. They will have the expertise and equipment necessary to safely remove mold and prevent its return. It is important to note that black mold should not be taken lightly. Take the necessary steps to remove it and keep it from coming back. It is crucial to take the necessary precautions and to take care of your health and well-being! In this episode, Laura Powers and Allison Melody share their mold exposure stories and what they are doing to detox their homes, offices and bodies and prevent future exposure.

What do you do when you go to your doctor for help with a chronic condition and he says microwaving your body is your own option to feel better? In my opinion you get the f**k out. That's exactly what today's guest Juli Kramer did and luckily - lived to tell about it! During her early 40s, Juli Kramer experienced severe gynecological problems with debilitating physical symptoms. Her doctor's solution was microwave treatment. Juli asked, "But aren't my symptoms telling me something?" Her doctor's reply shocked her. Juli was told her symptoms didn't matter, and that the microwave treatment would eliminate them. This made no sense to her. (This is a girl who doesn't even microwave her food, much less her body!) Juli realized that her body was desperately trying to tell her that something was seriously wrong. But, all her doctor cared about was treating the symptoms instead of getting to the root cause of the problem and resolving that. She knew there must be a better way and she set out to find it. Little did she know, the answers would be found in the ancient secrets of chinese medicine. Today, Dr. Juli Kramer is a certified qi gong, meditation, and TCM beauty secrets instructor. She holds a diploma in Chinese Medicine Nutritional Therapy and multiple certificates in Chinese medicine. Juli also has a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Counseling Psychology. Her goal is to help you feel happier, look better and live longer by sharing with you the health benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Thank You to Our Sponsors!

Could toxic mold be affecting your health? Mold is a tricky thing. It's affected people since the dawn of time – yet conventional medicine rarely addresses it. But make no mistake: it is a serious issue. Mold produces mycotoxins that can drive up estrogen levels, overburden the body with toxicity and elevate inflammation – so if you're sensitive to mold (25% of people have the gene that make them sensitive) other symptoms will appear, like frequent illness, excess allergies, exhaustion, hormonal issues, and more. In this episode, I share the story of discovering toxic black mold in the vents of every room in my house, getting mold toxicity poisoning after an HVAC worker left the vent covers off - exposing me to more toxic mold, and mold spores - and what I am doing about it. Then, I am speaking with Jenn Malecha who has her own harrowing mold toxicity story - and it is a must-listen! Jenn Malecha had a pretty healthy up-bringing – garden, vegetables, an active lifestyle. But when she got to college, the long hours and stress caused by studying and working crazy hours caused her health to decline. Then, at just 25 (and having never been a sun-worshipper), Jenn was diagnosed with skin cancer… She knew it had to be caused by her environment and lifestyle. Functional tests revealed that she had high oxidative stress, a clogged-up liver, and adrenal dysfunction. So she tackled all those things, and felt like herself again…until five years later. She began gaining weight, her periods were all over the place, she had candida overgrowth and inflamed breasts. She went to experts, who were unable to tell her what was going on. One day later on she opened the cupboard near her work desk, and guess what? Black mold everywhere. The Toxic mold had been what devastated her health. Having understood what was causing these issues, she began rebalancing her health. She became the boss of her health instead of relying on doctors. She now empowers others to have that same connection with their body. Screen for Mold at Home: Visual contrast screening – You can take the test for just $15 Even if you pass this test, take an at home microscopy mold test by Citrisafe. This is a small Petri dish that collects mold spores. Once sent to the lab, researchers will analyze the type of mold present in your home. The other test is called an ERMI test and is available from Mycometrics . This is a cloth with which you dust surfaces around your house. The cloth is then analyzed for mold – this test can be good to do because, unlike the microscopy test, it doesn't depend on the mold spores being alive. Getting Rid of Mold: Hire professionals to remove and remediate the mold (really important!) Clean air ducts and HVAC system. Buy anti-mold solution Bio-Balance. This is a natural toxin-free solution to remove mold from your home. Get rid of mold on your carpet and your pets – products available at www.citrisafe.com. After 30 days, retest your home for mold. Get some functional tests done – if you're sensitive to mold, it will trigger a chronic inflammatory response. Detox Your Body and Feed Yourself Right: Biotoxins can make the body hyperreactive to wheat. So avoiding gluten is essential. Eat more natural detoxifying foods like beets, dandelion tea, grapefruit, lemon. Keep an anti-inflammatory diet – remove grains, dairy, soy, sugar, and processed foods from your diet. Run a food sensitivity test to find out which foods to stay away from. Check your personal care products – do they contain allergens like oats or almonds? Start a food journal – this will help you identify what triggers your symptoms. Listen to your body – tune in and see what the body is telling you rather than just trying to follow protocols. Think yourself healthy – mindset and health are absolutely linked. Make time to switch off and relax. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices.

Current medical wisdom advises that anyone suffering from diabetes or prediabetes should eat a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. But today's guests, Dr. Neal Barnard, Cyrus Khambatta, PhD, and Robby Barbaro, MPH, rely on a century of research to show that advice is misguided. While it may improve short-term blood glucose control, this type of diet also increases the long-term risk for chronic diseases like cancer, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, chronic kidney disease, and fatty liver disease. The revolutionary solution is to eat a low-fat plant-based whole-food diet, the most powerful way to reverse insulin resistance in all types of diabetes: type 1, type 1.5, type 2, prediabetes, and gestational diabetes. First up, Chef Leslie Durso and I talk to Dr. Neal Barnard, author of Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes without Drugs. In this interview, he shares why he got into preventative medicine and diabetes research, and the cutting edge solutions to reversing it naturally with a plant-based diet. Then, Suzy and I sat down with Cyrus Khambatta, PhD, and Robby Barbaro, MPH authors of Mastering Diabetes: The Revolutionary Method to Reverse Insulin Resistance Permanently in Type 1, Type 1.5, Type 2, Prediabetes, and Gestational Diabetes. They are here to discuss their step-by-step plan that has been proven to reverse insulin resistance-the root cause of blood glucose variability- while improving overall health and maximizing life expectancy.

What is peptide therapy and what does it have to do with weight-loss? What role do peptides play in improving chronic conditions, anti-aging, and longevity? Gabriella Woldman is the Director of operations and the Patient care coordinator for Alegro Health & Wellness, who is here to answer these questions, and more, on today's episode of Food Heals. Peptides are short-chain amino acids found naturally in the body. The GLP-1 peptide hormone that we are talking about today is produced in the small intestine. It increases the body's ability to produce insulin, inhibits glucagon, and decreases appetite, resulting in healthy and effective weight loss. It is self administered as a small subcutaneous injection which is injected into the subcutaneous fat weekly. Peptide therapy has been shown to assist patients with losing weight, reducing chronic pain, improving immune function, hormone regulation, cardiovascular health, and so much more. Today we are specifically speaking about Semaglutide and B-12 which is what Allison has been taking to lose 16 pounds in 9 weeks. We are not discussing Wegovy or Ozempic which are the brand names of this peptide. Allison has not tried those and cannot speak to their side effects, nor effectiveness.

What do you do when your thyroid medications don't work and your doctor doesn't listen to you? Today's guest has the answer. Dr. Gil Kajiki is a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, Chiropractor (C.F.M.P., D.C.) and patient educator with clients across multiple continents. At the Valley Thyroid Institute, he and his staff are revolutionizing the way that hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's Autoimmune Thyroid are diagnosed and corrected using drug-free solutions. It all started when Dr. Kajiki's wife became ill with what at first appeared to be Epstein Barr. As he watched his wife's health deteriorate under the care of several doctors, Dr. Kajiki began a relentless search for answers to why his healthy wife could become so ill and yet no one seemed to know how to care for her. After more than two years of tests, medication, B12 shots, and finally hospitalization, it was her husband - and not her medical provider - who came to her rescue. After countless hours of study, consultation with colleagues, and testing, Dr. Kajiki diagnosed his wife with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition that attacks the thyroid. He spent the next several months treating her autoimmune condition through natural supplements, lifestyle modifications, and dietary changes. Today, she is now symptom free and doesn't take any thyroid medication. Dr. Kajiki couldn't stand to think that perhaps somebody else was having to go through the prolonged struggle with this condition as he and his wife had. Because of this experience, he dedicated his practice to helping Hashimoto's and low thyroid patients overcome their symptoms naturally. Dr. Kajiki still works from his office in Tarzana, California, however his patients are from countries and cities all across the globe—many as far away as Canada, Romania, London and New Zealand. He is available to his patients in person, via skype or phone. Dr. Kajiki also has more than 100 video testimonials of successful outcomes from happy patients that implemented his Low Thyroid Protocol and are thrilled to tell the world of their success.

Today's guest didn't sign up to be the spokesman for survivors of child abuse. In fact, he says the Universe chose him for this role. He was born to parents of drug addicts and abusers; molested by family friend; his mother cut off his finger; he was homeless by 10; a drug addict by 12; an alcoholic by 19; and morbidly obese with no where to turn and no one to rely on. In today's episode of Food Heals, Michael Unbroken shares his harrowing story of going from trauma survivor, to trauma warrior, to trauma mentor. From homeless to hero, Michael Unbroken, is the Founder of Think Unbroken, best-selling author, award-winning speaker, podcast host, coach, and advocate for adult survivors of childhood trauma. Since 2016, Michael has empowered over 100,000 trauma survivors to get out of "the vortex", learn to love themselves, and become the hero of their own story. Michael has spoken in over 80 countries, won investments from Undercover Billionaire Grant Cardone, and is on a mission to end generational trauma in his lifetime.

Are you ready for a total health transformation? In today's episode of Food Heals we're talking all about how to get healthy AF with 4 simple steps. Did you know that most of us gain extra weight between Halloween and the New Year? Let's be honest - it makes sense! This time of year is full of fall celebrations, family get-togethers, gift giving, and a two month food fest - one that often ends in weight gain and feeling worse on January 1st than you did just two months ago. The problem is that weight gained during the holiday season usually takes months to lose according to the New England Journal of Medicine. And many of us never lose the weight, packing on extra pounds that stay on and accumulate, year after year. In fact, researchers found that it took much longer to lose the weight than to gain the weight. So I don't know about you but our goal at Food Heals over the holiday months is to have fun, and enjoy the holidays, but not become a statistic! That's why on today's episode we'll go over four steps to completely transform your health with functional medicine, peptide therapy, daily habits, and emotional healing. Today's show was created to inspire you that you can absolutely reach your health, wellness, and weight loss goals - now matter what time of year it is! Because, remember, the body is designed to heal itself when given the tools it needs to do so. So let's give it the tools for transformation! Tune in to learn: How to find the perfect diet that is right for you A brand new weight loss secret that for everyone who has tried everything to slim down and nothing has worked (Hint: it is Elon Musk approved) Four small daily habits that can completely change your life - and your body Why we have food addiction and how to heal it for good - Hint: it's emotional How to get healthy AF in 2023 And more To have a total transformation together and get healthy in 2023, go to: FoodHealsNation.com/Transformation Thank You to Our Sponsors!

Whether it's wealth, the perfect car, the perfect house, or the perfect partner, all we are really seeking is happiness. We all have the ability to unlock happiness at will. Today's guest believes the way to do that is by growing in four pillars of our lives: relationships, business, spirituality, and wellness. If there was a high school senior superlative for Least Likely to Succeed, that would have been Justin Schenck. At 18 years old, he found himself with a 1.7 GPA, while his mom was in the middle of a 20 year opioid battle and his dad was in jail. All signs pointed to no hope and Justin believed he was destined to fail. At 19 years old, Justin got introduced to personal development by a mentor of his and became wildly obsessed with the idea that he had full control over the outcome of his life simply by choosing to grow. The realization that it didn't matter where he came from or what had happened to him in the past, but instead that he could shape his future with the choices that he makes in the present. This realization would set him on the path that would lead to The Growth Now Movement, which is a podcast, an annual in-person event, and of course: a movement. Today Justin speaks across the country about overcoming adversity and creating the lives that we desire. His podcast plays in over 100 countries every single week and his forthcoming book will be released sometime next year. 🎤 Available on @iHeartRadio, @Spotify, @ApplePodcasts, or wherever you listen to your #podcasts!

For many of us, our hair is an integral part of our identity. Imagine a drummer who was a member of hair bands in his youth facing rapid hair loss in his early 50's. That was Solopreneur Hour Host's Michael O'Neals' story before he flew all the way to Turkey to have a hair transplant. While pharmaceutical solutions for hair loss do exist, they can have debilitating side effects such as erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, swelling in face, arms, hands, legs, or feet, dizziness,headaches, skin rashes, hives, and even male breast cancer Hair transplantation on the other hand uses your own hair follicles to regrow hair on your scalp in combination with techniques like PRP (platelet-rich plasma) which uses your bodys' own own healing system to repair itself. In today's episode of Food heald we will hear the riveting story of Michael's trip to Istanbul and a natural way to regrow hair using your own hair follicles - without drugs without harsh side effects and how you can go from balding to a beautiful head of new hair too!

Continuing on our theme of hormone health this month, Alli's got Solopreneur Hour Host Michael O'Neal in the Nashville studio to talk about men's health and why - it might be time to get your testosterone checked! Testosterone is pivotal for multiple functions in the body like building stronger bones, creating muscle and increasing strength, facial and body hair. Testosterone increases sex drive, promotes fat burning, is required for memory and heart health, and is involved in producing red blood cells and sperm. In other words, it's absolutely crucial for feeling our best. In today's episode Michael shares how getting his hormones balanced completely changed his life, increased his libido, and gave him the energy he needed to thrive. Stay tuned for Part 2 with Michael, where we'll be discussing a natural way to grow back hair - drug free. PLUS - exactly how he went from balding to a beautiful head of hair. (And how you can too!)

In 2012, JJ Virgin was in a hospital room next to her sixteen-year-old son who was struck by a hit-and-run driver and left for dead. She was told by doctors that he wouldn't last through the night and to let him go. With every reason to give up, JJ chose instead to invest her energy into the hope that her son would not just survive, but thrive. In the latest episode of Food Heals, she shares the journey of overcoming the worst moment of her life. It's a story of western medicine and holistic healing modalities working together to heal a young man and a mom that wouldn't take no for an answer. During this difficult time, JJ learned valuable personal lessons that helped her rebuild her life and find success and purpose in herself, her work, and teach her sons and community how to face their own obstacles and trials. JJ believes that inside every mother is a fierce, resilient, intuitive woman who has the ability to tap into an indomitable mindset and create heroic outcomes—for her children, her family, her community and for herself—she is a Warrior Mom!

What is the true impact of Stress and Fatigue on aging, recovery and metabolism? And how can reverse the negative effects of stress? That's what today's guest, Janoah Van Kekem, is here to share with us! Janoah is a Meditation Coach and the Founder of two businesses, Mind Maverick and The Momentum Lifestyle Project. Janoah takes a slightly different approach to his coaching than many of the 'purests' you see in the space and is not your average meditation teacher… (and don't call him a guru!) A former self-proclaimed, "directionless party boy," Janoah re-invented himself as an Entrepreneur, Mentor and Meditation Teacher (who still loves a good time.)

Life is more than the hustle – life's about community. It's about finding your tribe, the people with keys that open up parts of yourself you never knew were there. Lori Harder grew up without that tribe… …in a small town, in an overweight family who believed they were victims of their genes. She was home schooled and had zero friends outside of her family religion. She was lonely, repressed and depressed. And even though fitness eventually set her free, both in her diet and in her spirit, it was a long journey and full of obstacles. Despite changing her body, winning competitions, and being successful, Lori still couldn't shake how miserable she felt. This is something so many of us struggle with. We think we'll be happy when we get that job, lose 10 pounds, get married, buy a house…but if we don't confront and heal the inner stories that run in our mental background, happiness will always be elusive and short-lived. Lori had to stop and figure out what was blocking her from feeling true joy and lasting happiness. Suddenly she knew she wanted something she'd never had: community. She wanted to give women somewhere to go, a place to feel accepted and connected. As host of the Earn Your Happy podcast, founder of the Bliss Project, and author of A Tribe Called Bliss, Lori now helps women to find their tribe, connect with their communities, and manifest their dream life.

Imagine a world where instead of 1.6 billion coke drinkers, there are 1.6 billion (and more) people drinking green juice. Today's guest is passionate about making that a reality. So in episode 378, we're throwing it all the way back to 2017 to our interview with Founder of Organifi, Drew Canole! Twelve years ago Drew was 45 pounds overweight, pretty unclear about what his life purpose was, going out all the time, and drinking too much. But we all have a wake-up moment, and once Drew had his, there was no turning back. He knew he had to contribute to the world and make a positive difference. Drew went on a 90-day juice cleanse, lost 40 pounds, gained clarify, focus, energy, and a ton on online support! He's on a mission to help people experience radical joy, connect to oneness, live their purpose, and be the healthiest, fittest version of themselves. He recommends a delicate blend of self-love, listening to what your body is telling you, and cellular nourishment. Drew created a delicious brand of superfood powders, Organifi. We can't get enough of them and Drew has very generously given Food Heals Nation a hefty 20% off with the coupon code FoodHeals! The range of products includes green powder for cleansing and fat burning (with spirulina, chlorella, moringa, matcha, ashwaganda, chlorophyll and more… all the greens without the "green" taste), reishi gold drink for immunity (with reishi and antioxidant turmeric), red anti-aging juice (with acai and cordyceps), protein powder (with added enzymes for better digestion), probiotics, and everything you need to rebalance your body and enjoy a happy, healthy, fit life.
