Stephanis was gutted. "Online now - DM me" is what her boyfriend's Match.com profile said. The man she was living with, the man that she talked about marriage and family with - was on the prowl. Not only that, but the profile said that he had just broken up with his girlfriend. It said she was not "the one". Shocked and heart-broken, Stephanie packed her things and moved out, but not before making an important observation. This was the fourth man who had cheated on her. The common denominator? Her. Why did she continually attract men into her life who wound up being unfaithful? Was it because she wasn't showing herself the unconditional love that she craved? A light switch went off and Stephanie went on a mission of seeking the truth, cultivating self-love practices, and learning how to rewire her subconscious mind to attract the things and people she truly wanted (and deserved) into her life. Can you relate? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live your life as a master of your mind and energy? What if you could manifest true love, happiness, and success in all areas of your life? What if you could become the best version of yourself possible? Every day, Stephanie is helping more and more people do this very thing. Through her innovative techniques as a Rewiring Coach, Hypnotherapist, NLP Practitioner, Breathwork Facilitator, and Host of the Rise Higher Podcast, Stephanie helps people just like you break through the invisible inner barriers holding them back from reaching their goals.

Are all probiotics created equal? We find out in today's episode with returning guest, Tina Anderson! Formerly an attorney working in the pharmaceutical field for 15 years, Tina found herself becoming more and more disillusioned with the industry. After seeing the overprescribing of medications, the terrible side effects people were experiencing, and the amount of money being made keeping people sick, Tina realized she had to make a change. At the same time, she found herself living an increasingly holistic lifestyle. She and her husband, Billy were avoiding antibiotics for both themselves and their three children, eliminating over-the-counter medications, living an active lifestyle, and eating more whole, real foods. Tina realized that the old adage was true, "All disease begins in the gut." Every time we eat or drink or expose ourselves to chemicals, toxins and hormones, we are either feeding disease or fighting it! With her newfound knowledge, Tina went on a mission to help others heal their guts holistically and choose probiotics over pharmaceuticals. She learned quickly that in order to rebalance your gut, you need to take a daily probiotic that actually works, meaning the friendly bacteria (probiotics) win out the every day battle over the bad bacteria – AND actually stay alive once it hits your gut, (not just in the fridge.) What Tina discovered was that the majority of probiotics on the market simply aren't working, they are not natural, and they are not alive. Tina and Billy worked closely with Dr. Simon Cutting, a world-renowned probiotic expert at London University Royal Holloway, to gain access to the most widely studied and used probiotic strains in the world. That's when Just Thrive Probiotic & Antioxidant was born! Think of your gut like a garden. When you add Just Thrive® Probiotic, you're enabling your gut to bloom into a beautiful garden of good, healthy bacteria! These probiotic strains go in like little gardeners, removing the weeds (bad bacteria and pathogens) and actively manage the soil by fertilizing it with potent and necessary antioxidants. In the end, you have a beautiful, healthy garden of gut health that makes the rest of your body happy, from the inside out. Tune in to learn: [5:25] The importance of gut health and the roles of good and bad bacteria [12:08] The truth about hand sanitizer [19:10] Eating soil?!

Quotables: "We have got to start not being so fearful or stressed out in order to protect our gut microbiome and therefore, protect our immune system." – Tina Anderson "To be a good probiotic it needs to be alive. The thing is, it doesn't need to be alive in the refrigerator or at the health food store. It needs to be alive when it's in your intestines." – Tina Anderson "It's hard to find any disease that's not associated with an imbalanced gut. And so, people may go to the product because they have gas or are bloated. But the side effects may include more energy, better weight management, better mood…" – Tina Anderson "We will only bring products that are missing and needed in the market." – Tina Anderson Thank you to our sponsors!

We know that the body is designed to heal itself when given the tools that it needs to do so. But, how do we trigger that healing response in the brain? Ashok Gupta has the answer.

With all the fear out there I wanted to put out a positive, motivational message this Sunday. If you know me well, or if you have listened to Food Heals for a long time, you know that just as passionate as I am about health and wellness, I am equally passionate about building a business and a life that you love. In the most challenging year of most of our lives, I have seen friends move away because they can't afford to live in their homes anymore; I have seen small businesses go out of business; there are "for lease" signs everywhere around my neighborhood. And, while things seem extremely dire right now, I want to be the messenger of hope. The biggest struggle that I see my clients and friends facing is that they have a strong desire to build something, but the thing that is holding them back is not necessarily WHAT they want to do, or even HOW they want to do it, but the feeling that they are NOT WORTHY of doing it; or they are scared to do it; or they are just in pure fear of failure. So in this BONUS EPISODE of Food Heals, I break down 9 fears that hold us back from our greatness, I bust the myths that we hold onto so that we can truly step into our power, and unapologetically build something beautiful, help others, heal the world, and get paid for it. Feel like a fraud? Worried you will be "exposed" at any moment? Have trouble accepting praise? You may be suffering from Imposter Syndrome. According to Psychology Today, people who struggle with imposter syndrome have an underlying belief that they are undeserving of their achievements. They feel that they aren't as competent or intelligent as others might think—and that soon enough, people will discover the truth. If you experience this - You are not alone. Turns out 70% of us experience impostor syndrome at some point in our lives. You may have found yourself asking yourself the same questions over and over. Who am I to start a vegan blog, youtube channel, or podcast? Who am I to write a book, become a coach, or create an online course? Who am I to charge for my work? Who will listen? Who will watch? Who will care? What will people think of me? The truth is you have a mission and a message to share with the world. And with big Pharma and Big Ag making billions of dollars keeping people sick, why shouldn't vegan entrepreneurs like us be making money keeping people healthy? Marianne Williamson says, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?" Who are you not to write that vegan book? Why shouldn't you become that next big vegan Instagram Influencer? Why can't you start the next vegan podcast? In this BONUS episode, Allison Melody, will break down the 9 myths that hold us back from being our greatest selves, so we can unapologetically share the plant-powered message with the world and overcome that imposter monster for good!

On today's episode we've got three pioneers in different aspects of the health space but one thing they share in common is their passion to help you live your best life. Living your best life may sound like an overused Instagram hashtag, but in this case it is three amazing individuals who overcame trauma, health challenges and more to learn how not just to survive in life, but to thrive no matter what life throws your way. You've probably seen Dutch fitness model and trainer Jill de Jong in the latest Peloton commercial, on the cover of Women's Health and in ads for L'Oréal, Avon and Izod. She was also the real-life body model for Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider video game. But before she was sought after model, actress and fitness expert, she was a calorie-counting teenager trying to fit in with the other calorie-counting models where together they created unrealistic and unsustainable ways to maintain their bodies. After years of feeling deprived, eating all the wrong things, and feeling completely uncomfortable in her skin, she knew things had to change. Jill's newfound passion for nutrition led her to become a health coach and certified personal trainer. Today, she shares her story and healthy recipes in her cookbook, Models Do Eat, and on her podcast Life Done Better. Jill is passionate about helping others to find better ways to move, eat, deal with stress, and design action steps for all that they want to achieve in life. Dr. Allen Lycka has been acknowledged as one of the leading cosmetic dermatologists in the world for three decades. He is a co-founder of Doctors for the Practice of Safe and Ethical Aesthetic Medicine and founder of The Canadian Skin Cancer Association. He has won the prestigious Consumers Choice Award For Cosmetic Surgery for 16 consecutive years. In 2003, Dr. Lycka's life changed drastically when he suddenly developed a right foot drop and then misdiagnosed as ALS (Lou Gherigs' disease). After being told he only had months to live he discovered the secret that would change his life. He did not have ALS, and he was able to treat his condition naturally and make a full recovery. Because of what he learned, he co-authored the book The Secrets of Living A Fantastic Life with Harriet Tinka. Harriet Tinka was a model-turned student at the University of Calgary. Featured on haute couture runways and in fashion magazines, she chose to turn her back on the soul-crushing pressure to be the "ideal female body." Instead she chose to go to school and focus on getting an education. During this time, one of her friends began to turn critical, mean and possessive, until one night he attacked her. She was beaten, abducted and sliced up with a butcher's knife. It was a miracle she survived, but the trauma left her with a big "why me?" As she faced her adversities, she was one day inspired by a little girl in a wheelchair who said to her, "Move forward and use your pain to inspire others." Harriet decided it was time to pay it forward. Ever since, she has inspired and touched the lives of over 500 teens!

Public health has been defined as the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and improving quality of life through organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, communities and individuals. Todays guests are pioneers in the health space who are disrupting the norms and taking new and innovative approaches to health and healing. First up we're talking medical cost sharing with John Iorillo. John and his partners started PureHealth in 2019 after discovering the solution to their own problem of finding affordable health insurance for both themselves and their clients. Their goal is to help you get high-quality healthcare for a cost that is up to 60% less than either your current health insurance, or any of the other options available in the marketplace, while also lowering your out-of-pocket costs. Then you'll hear from CEO and Founder of Music Changing Lives, Josiah Bruny. Josiah worked for some of the greatest stars in the music industry such as Master P and Ice Cube and learned the "ins and outs" of business in order to develop a path for at-risk youth to create music in their communities and learn entrepreneurial skills and help them retain their rights to their music. What started as a one-room studio inside his home garage has today grown into a robust after school program, serving more than 300 youth in three community centers and four schools in California. Finally, we're chatting with Rob Rast, a vegan entrepreneur who dropped out of college, moved to China, starred in a reality TV show, and launched multiple successful businesses. Rob's mission is to get people out of cars, and get them back onto bicycles with his one of a kind electric bike, The Babymaker which he crowdfunded over $12 million dollars for on IndieGogo. He believes caring for others starts with caring for yourself. "Invest in yourself, Make yourself powerful and you'll gain the power to change the world." Learn more about your ad choices.

Halloween is not just about pumpkin carving, ghost stories, and wearing spooky costumes. During this time when the veil is lifted there is an opportunity to release that which is no longer serving us, tap into our intuition, and create massive shifts in our lives. Get into the Halloween spirit with some spiritual, spooky, supernatural stories with Laura Powers and Elizabeth Tripp! Spiritual Teacher and Lifestyle Design Coach Elizabeth Tripp grew up seeing things others did not. Feeling "different" from her friends and family, she turned to food as comfort. After years of working at a job she didn't like and losing the person she thought was the love of her life, Elizabth realized it was time for a change. She transformed her life and realized her abilities were gifts that could help others. Her mission today is to guide you to break through old patterns and learn your soul's lessons so that you can believe in yourself, live in the truth of who you are, and design a lifestyle you're in love with. Ever since she was a child, Celebrity Psychic Laura Powers has seen and sensed ghosts and spirits. She now uses her gifts communicating with angels, spirits, and other energy beings to help her clients better understand and change their lives. Though Laura has always sensed the spiritual realm, it was not until adulthood that she opened up to her gifts and a life-crisis in which she was unemployed, going through a bad divorce, and physically ill. It was during the crisis that she shifted and opened up her focus to the spiritual realm and her life dramatically transformed from there. Her goal is to help others find the resources and tools for self-healing. Tune into today's episode and we'll take you on a journey of angels, ghosts, the other side, manifestation, and more! You'll learn how to tap more fully into your intuitive psychic abilities so you can design the life you love! Learn more about your ad choices.

At age 19, Marisa Imôn was diagnosed with bipolar type 1 and had to withdraw from school during a manic episode. All her life leading up to this she had been at the mercy of her emotions - never knowing if she'd wake up feeling suicidal or euphoric.

She was told that people with bipolar type one can go on to live happy, healthy, and successful lives, but only if they're medicated.

Current medical wisdom advises that anyone suffering from diabetes or prediabetes should eat a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. But today's guests, 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, such a 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. This is why Cyrus and Robby founded Mastering Diabetes, an online platform that helps people Reverse Insulin Resistance Permanently, Get your best A1c, achieve your ideal body weight, and lower your cholesterol in as little as 3 months through their summits, coaching, and books. Their brand new book, Mastering Diabetes is out now. As the creators of the extraordinary and effective Mastering Diabetes Method, Cyrus and Robby lay out a step-by-step plan proven to reverse insulin resistance-the root cause of blood glucose variability- while improving overall health and maximizing life expectancy. Armed with more than 800 scientific references and drawing on more than 36 years of personal experience living with type 1 diabetes themselves, the authors show how to eat large quantities of carbohydrate-rich whole foods like bananas, potatoes, and quinoa while decreasing blood glucose, oral medication, and insulin requirements. They also provide life-changing advice on intermittent fasting and daily exercise and offer tips on eating in tricky situations, such as restaurant meals and family dinners. Perhaps best of all: On the Mastering Diabetes Method, you will never go hungry. With more than 30 delicious, filling, and nutrient-dense recipes and backed by cutting-edge nutritional science, Mastering Diabetes will help you maximize your insulin sensitivity, attain your ideal body weight, improve your digestive health, gain energy, live an active life, and feel the best you've felt in years.

Did you know that since the war on cancer was declared by Nixon, cancer rates have increased from 1 in 21 people to 1 in 2.5? Clearly, our modern approach just isn't working. To make matters worse, now even children are being diagnosed with cancer. It was these insane statistics that spurred Dr. Kevin Conners to open his clinic. He's been practicing functional medicine since the 80's (way before it was ever trendy!). And he has a different approach to traditional medicine: he focuses on treating the cause of cancer, rather than the cancer itself. Cancer is multi-factorial. You can't point to one single thing and say "this is what caused your cancer". You can't even really just point to genetics, because only around 5% of cancers are due to certain genes. Cancer comes from a combination of issues: diet, nutrition, environment, emotions. These are the epigenetic factors involved - these are the things that change the expression of your genes, and will then either trigger or protect you from cancer and other diseases. And this is why there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Everyone is different, so cancer, ultimately, needs to be treated as such. After all, one person might do great on a raw food diet, while another may not have the digestive enzymes to cope with that. Instead of applying a standard treatment, Dr. Conners treats every single patient as an individual. That's where functional testing comes in, because it helps you work out exactly what's stressing your immune responses, and determines any food allergies, intolerances, deficiencies, which in turn helps you create the perfect anti-disease diet for you. Dr. Conners also works with people with autoimmune conditions and Lyme's disease. Just like cancer, these are multifactorial. And they're on the rise. It's not so much a case of if you get autoimmune, but rather which autoimmune condition will you get. We are constantly damaging our gut walls, which makes us vulnerable to these conditions. Even if you eat organic, we're exposed to many chemicals that damage our digestive system. And that's without mentioning another big topic: vaccination, which can damage the brain, increase inflammation, and lead to autoimmune disorders. So what can you do to protect yourself from cancer and autoimmune conditions? Unfortunately, it's not as simple as drinking green juice, you have to go deeper. Give up sugar, because sugar feeds into cell replication and therefore cancer. Do you have metal mouth? Depending on your health, you can work with a specialized dentist to replace or remove them. Start with healing and sealing the gut to stop undigested particles triggering inflammation. Get functional medicine tests to determine what is triggering your immune response and how your genes are reacting to your lifestyle. Get in touch with Dr. Conners - you can work with the Conners' Clinic whether you're local to Minnesota or not. Check out Dr. Conners' website for free book downloads - if you can't work with Dr. Conners this is the next best thing. You can take this information to your local doctor.

There is a common theme that happens at the beginning of every new year: We set resolutions and intentions to work out more, to lose weight, to eat better, and to get healthier. But unfortunately, even with our best of intentions the research shows that usually by February most people have fallen back into their old habits and forgotten their resolutions, or decided that whatever diet or exercise plan they chose to follow just didn't work. Very often we are not getting to the root cause of the original problem and so we are doing the surface level things (that in theory should work) but because these are temporary fixes or bandaid approaches, they are not lasting and sustainable lifestyle changes. So we are not actually dealing with the issues that got our bodies to be sick or tired or overweight in the first place. To create sustainable lifestyle changes we can take a mind body, and spirit approach to maintaining a healthy weight. On this episode of Food Heals, you'll hear some of our most inspiring weight loss stories chosen from almost 300 podcast interviews to help keep you motivated over the month of February.

Nicole Davidsohn is the cofounder and herbalist at Eva, a unique self-care company that uses organic superfoods and hemp flowers to give people a better quality of life. When Nicole was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, she thought things couldn't get much worse. Enter: Traumatic Brain Injury. Months of pain and pills, fatigue and struggle, Nicole was ready to give up. Until she discovered the plant that would play a critical role in her journey back to health. Enter: Hemp. The raw cannabis juice from hemp began to give Nicole her life back and she and her partner, Dane soon discovered a way to preserve the raw plant in its raw form while retaining 99% of all vitamins, minerals, cannabinoids, terpenes, and more. In October 2016, Nicole's dog Mary Jane was diagnosed with Lymphoma, a form of canine cancer, and given 90 days to live. Nicole and Dane decided to skip the expensive chemotherapy treatments, and began feeding Mary the raw cannabis juice. She immediately responded with energy and a decrease in symptoms. With high hopes, they continued the holistic treatment, giving her an additional 33 months of a happy, healthy doggy life. She was chasing geese 3 days before she passed away from old age, at 15. Nicole continues to educate people on the benefits of eating raw cannabis flowers, buds, and juice through her company Eva. Eva is the first company known worldwide to do the first ever nutrition test on Cannabis Flowers. They also recently launched a line of Hemp Seasonings that contain 2000mg of their proprietary Flower Powder™. These seasonings allow people to see cannabis as another vegetable/ herb, something to eat daily for nutrition. Eva is pairing up with chefs, restaurants, and grocery stores to supply hemp flowers as another food, similar to hemp seeds and hemp oil already found within stores.

Following the premature death of his mother from breast cancer, Dr. Platt began the journey of assimilating his knowledge about hormones and the importance of keeping them in balance for optimum health and wellness. Through the observation of thousands of patients, he uncovered secrets to the body's master system, namely hormones. In 1995, he opened a clinic in Palm Desert, California where he has been consulting with his patients and clients employing his Platt Protocol, a natural approach to hormone balance and wellness. Since 1997, the Platt Wellness Center has been a pioneer in the research and advancement of the therapeutic use of progesterone cream and other bio-identical hormones. Platt is considered an important pioneer in observational, functional, alternative, and allopathic medicine focused on bio-identical hormones and adrenaline overload. His award-winning books, "The Miracle of Bio-Identical Hormones", How I Lost My...fatigue, hot flashes, ADHD, ADD, fibromyalgia, PMS, osteoporosis, weight, sexual dysfunction, anger, migraines… and "Adrenaline Dominance, A Revolutionary Approach to Wellness", detail his Platt Protocol: solutions for conditions modern medicine considers 'incurable' and that are 'treated' with drugs, endless office visits and tests as well as billions spent on research. He has identified many conditions that respond positively to bio-identical hormones, especially progesterone. Conditions that affect millions of people worldwide such as: ADHD, fibromyalgia, autism, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, weight gain, anger, road rage, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and more.

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.

You already know meditation is incredible for your mental, spiritual and emotional health. You may have even tried to meditate before. But, you can't seem to get into the regular habit. You really want to and you know it's time to figure it out. Today's guest, Katie Krimitsos teaches us that a regular meditation practice doesn't have to look like getting up at 5am and meditating for an hour with incense burning every single day. It can be so much more simple! And completely customized for you. Creating your own regular meditation practice can make you feel more calm, reduce stress and anxiety, help you sleep better and ultimately help you connect to your inner wisdom...which all lead to a happier, more fulfilled life! Ready to feel more calm, connected and happier? Check out the Women's Meditation Network! The Women's Meditation Network is the home for guided meditations that are created for the very special journey that we women walk throughout this life. While we are all different and unique, there is an underlying connection and shared experience between us that is so beautiful, complex and deep. The intention of Katie's podcast and the entire network is to give you easy access to guided meditations and helpful products and services that will support you on your extraordinary journey in this world! Each week on Tuesdays, you'll receive a new meditation somewhere between 7-30 minutes that is intended to help you relax, let go, be present, find gratitude and ultimately, help you connect to the most brilliant, vibrant parts of your soul that so often feel dimmed. My hope is that this becomes a home for you to pick and choose the meditations that you need to hear in a particular moment, situation or feeling, over and over again. ABOUT KATIE: Katie has used the tool of meditation since she was 18 years old. First, as it was introduced to her during the last few minutes of yoga classes. Then at multiple Buddhist centers during regular meditation classes. Later in intimate group meditations. And eventually, through miraculous technologies like podcasts and apps that provided guided meditations, she could use during the darkest and lightest seasons of her life. Katie is a woman who is deeply interested in continually evolving herself, in becoming more mindful, trying to live the most vibrant life she can possibly live. She's a mom, a wife, a daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She has been a podcaster since 2014 and has had the privilege of supporting women in business under her Biz Women Rock banner. She's an athlete, a vegan, an adventurer, a recovering perfectionist and a gladiator. She doubts herself, has struggled with loving her body, has felt the pangs of comparing myself to others, let fear keep me from doing things she really wanted to do and has carried way too many things on her shoulders. She is perfectly imperfect and always searching to understand herself better.

Here are the highlights: Do a Parasite Cleanse! Bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites — there are many types of harmful organisms and nearly everyone is affected at some point in their life. Harmful organisms are ones that live off another by living on or in them. Alli recommends: Paratrex (Use the coupon code foodheals to get 20% off Paratrex) Cleanse with Clay! Diatomaceous earth is a naturally-formed sedimentary mineral rock. It's derived from the remains of diatoms, or oceanic unicellular algae. [1] Diatoms are over 30 million years old and are formed from the cementation of microscopic algae-like plant remains into the earth's surface. Alli recommends Earthborn Elements supplements for internal cleansing and Pure Organic Ingredients Diatomaceous earth for cleansing your home. Sweat it Out! Infrared saunas use infrared lamps (that use electromagnetic radiation) to warm your body directly. Infrared and infrared saunas have been researched and studied for decades. Doctors, chiropractors and physical therapists use infrared every day in clinics and hospitals around the world to ameliorate pain, heal skin conditions, increase flexibility and generally help heal the body. Alli recommends this Serene Life Portable Spa Release with Trigger Point Therapy! We all have stress. And when we put stress on a muscle, it can cause that muscle to tighten. And even after the stress is gone, that muscle tightness can remain. Many health issues and pain stem from this muscular stress, and that's where trigger point therapy comes in! Laura recommends the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook Detox with an Ionic Foot Spa This can be done at various spas and you can also get a machine for your own home! The machine works by ionizing the foot bath water to give the hydrogen a positive charge which is said to pull toxins out through your feet. Suzy has been doing it for years and loves it!
