293: I’m joined by my husband Hector for an important conversation about what’s happening right now with glyphosate, the Supreme Court case involving Monsanto (Bayer), and the recent executive order that’s sparked major concern. We break down how these chemicals are used in our food system, why so many farmers rely on them, and what this means for our health and the future of our food supply. We also talk about the upcoming rally in Washington, DC, why public awareness matters, and how you can get involved. This episode is about understanding the bigger picture, asking questions, and recognizing the power we have when we come together.

288: I’m joined by Iman Hasan, host of the podcast “Biohack-it” to talk about something I don’t think we’re discussing enough: the link between healthspan, fertility and women’s health. After losing her mom to cancer, Iman began questioning the medical system and embarked on a mission to understand aging, fertility, and whether menopause can be reversed. We dive into ovarian aging, lipid replacement therapy, functional fertility doctors, and how chronic stress is pushing women into early perimenopause. This episode will challenge you to reframe your daily routines to promote healthy aging. Topics Discussed: ➝ Can you reverse menopause naturally? ➝ What does healthspan vs. longevity look like for women? ➝ Do NAD shots actually improve fertility and hormone health? ➝ How can chronic stress push women into early perimenopause? ➝ What is lipid replacement therapy for cellular detox?

287: I’m joined by Dr. Daniel Pompa, health coach, author, and founder of the Pompa Program, to break down the truth about intermittent fasting, cellular detox, and inflammation. We explore how fasting actually works at the cellular level, what a real feast day looks like, and how toxins, seed oils, and even dental issues can drive chronic inflammation (and bigger health issues down the line). Dr. Pompa also shares how mercury poisoning reshaped his approach to health and why cholesterol is so misunderstood. If you’re doing all the “right” things but still feel off, this episode connects the dots.

286. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Natalie Crawford, a board-certified fertility doctor with a nutrition background, to talk about what women aren’t being taught about fertility and hormonal health. She breaks down how to understand your menstrual cycle, and explains the benefits of learning this even before you’re ready to have kids. We also talk about how mindset, lifestyle, exercise and sleep can contribute toward fertility, especially if you’re in your late 30s and 40s. This conversation shifts the narrative away from fear and age and back to the health of the woman. Topics Discussed: → How does hormonal birth control impact fertility and the menstrual cycle? → Why should you track your cycle naturally? → When does health matter more than age when trying to get pregnant? → What is AMH and when should you check your levels? → What is the biggest factor impacting fertility?

285: In this episode, I’m joined by Baran Dilaver, cofounder of Wonderfeel Biosciences, to break down one of the most important molecules for aging and longevity: NAD. We talk about what NAD actually is, why it declines as we age, and how that impacts everything from energy and cognition to skin health and sleep. Baran explains the difference between healthspan and longevity, how to spot low-quality or fake NAD supplements, and why going back to nature - not pharmaceuticals - is key for long-term health. We also cover diet, exercise, sleep, Blue Zones, and simple lifestyle shifts that can help you age better, not just longer. Topics Discussed: → What is NAD and why does it decline as we age? → How do NAD supplements support longevity and healthspan? → What’s the difference between healthspan and longevity? → How can you avoid fake NAD products? → Can boosting NAD levels improve energy, cognition, and skin as you age?

284: In this episode, I’m joined by Louisiana State Senator Patrick McMath, Chairman of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, to break down one of the most ambitious state-led health initiatives we’ve seen yet. We dive deep into Louisiana’s MAHA bill, SB14, which tackles everything from seed oil disclosures and ingredient regulation to nutrition training for doctors. This conversation is about reframing health, challenging political division, and proving that eating real, nutrient dense food doesn’t have to be expensive - it just has to be prioritized. Topics Discussed: → What is Louisiana’s MAHA bill (SB14) and how will it change the food system? → Why is Louisiana requiring seed oil disclosures? → How does nutrition education for doctors impact healthcare outcomes? → Can food-first, root-cause care reduce chronic disease in children? → How is Louisiana prioritizing local food and farmers in school meals?

283: UFC World Champion, mother and nutrition activist Miesha Tate is here to talk about what women actually need when it comes to food, strength, and recovery. We break down why calories in vs. calories out doesn’t always work for women, how hormones completely change the nutrition conversation, and why nutrient density matters more than restriction. Miesha shares her journey in a male-dominated sport, how she rebuilt her health and performance after having kids, and what she’s learned about food as fuel, and how to raise healthy kids in an unhealthy world.

282: In this episode, I’m joined by Brian Sanders, founder of the Food Lies docuseries, to break down how we ended up trapped in a culture dominated by ultra-processed foods and confusing diet options. We unpack why so many popular diets fail, how to actually find satiety, and what human cultures around the world reveal about the link between plant-based diets and longevity (it’s not what you think). Brian also exposes the truth about seed oils, cholesterol, and why his health markers improved when he embraced a more animal-based approach. If you’re overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice, this episode will help you finally make sense of it all. Topics Discussed: → Why are ultra-processed foods making us sick and hungry all the time? → Do plant-based diets really lead to longevity? → What do hunter-gatherer diets reveal about the best human diet? → How do harmful industrial oils stack up to traditional fats like olive oil and tallow? → Is cholesterol actually bad for you?

281: Erin W. Martin is an aging expert and advocate for food-based healthcare. I am so excited to have her on the show - we’re going deep into nutrition’s role in longevity, health and wellness, and exploring how programs like FreshRx Oklahoma (which Erin founded) are literally prescribing organic produce to help lower-income families reverse conditions like type 2 diabetes and learn more about nutrition. You’ll hear the latest on health policies nationwide and what you can do to get involved with a Food Is Medicine movement in your local community. Topics Discussed: → Can food treat chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes? → How can the Food Is Medicine Act change healthcare in the U.S.? → What is FreshRx? → Can we reinvent what aging looks like? → How can growing and buying local food improve longevity?

280: Today I’m joined by Aaron Siri, Managing Partner of the law firm Siri & Glimstad LLP and a leading voice in the vaccine safety movement. He takes an evidence-based approach to the world of vaccinology, and is presenting a practical look at why vaccines have become more like religion than science. You may recognize him from the documentary “An Inconvenient Study” produced by Del Big Tree and the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN) - now Aaron is answering questions about lawsuits over vaccine safety and whether we can legally consider these doses “safe and effective.” Topics Discussed: → What is the latest litigation over vaccine safety? → Why are there so few studies on vaccines' long term effects? → What does the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 actually mean for pharmaceutical companies’ liability and protection? → How has public trust in vaccines shifted? → Should the government be involved with vaccine regulations?
