EP285: The Most Nutrient-Dense Foods in the World & The Dangers of Micronutrient Deficiency with Ty Beal
Approximately 1 out of 3 women of reproductive age in America are suffering from a nutrient deficiency that can lead to fatigue, immune dysfunction, rapid aging and an increased risk of disease. And while we're often told a plant-based diet is the best diet for health - Dr. Beal, the guest of this week's podcast and a global nutrition researcher, found that animal foods (organ meats specifically) are actually the richest sources of nutrients that most people are deficient in. His research also found that refined grains, which most Americans consume copious amounts of, are the least nutrient dense. Which is clearly one reason nutrient deficiencies are rampant even in developed countries. Tune into this week's podcast to learn: ✔︎ The nutrients many of us are deficient in ✔︎ The prevalence, consequences and causes of nutrient deficiency ✔︎ The most nutrient-dense foods in the world ✔︎ Why fortified nutrients are different than whole food versions ✔︎ The problems with most nutrient density rating systems (Food Compass) ✔︎ The dangers of vegan diets for kids ✔︎ And so much more!

EP283: Plant vs. Animal Protein and The Truth About Daily Requirements with Dr. Ballerstedt
According to recent research, nearly 40% of older Americans are not getting enough protein. Current protein recommendations also represent a minimum rather than an ideal protein intake and the highest quality sources of protein (animal products) are often demonized. As a result, many of us are under-eating protein which can cause a number of deleterious symptoms such as cravings, overeating, weight gain and a loss of muscle mass. Tune in to this week's podcast with protein expert, Dr. Peter Ballerstedt, to learn all about the often-ignored nuance in the protein conversation and how you can leverage protein's superpowers to optimize your health and feel your best. Here are some of my favorite takeaways… Why the "meat is harmful" message is dangerousThe problems with our current protein recommendations How much protein you really need Crude protein vs. true protein (and why it matters for your health!)The health benefits of plant vs. animal proteinsSymptoms of protein deficiencyHow to identify a high-quality proteinThe link between amino acid deficiency and back pain Why tracking protein by percentage of calories is a bad idea Why processed food products contain less protein than the label saysThe surprising world's #1 source of proteinWhat taking your daily MEDS means to Dr. Ballerstedt Increasing the amount of protein in my diet has been a game changer for me and many of my clients so please listen in and share this information with anyone you think may benefit.

EP282: Carbohydrates, Vegetable Oils and the Silencing of Dr. Fettke
In 2014 Dr. Gary Fettke, an orthopedic surgeon in Tasmania, was reported to the medical board for suggesting his diabetic patients reduce their sugar intake despite sound scientific evidence and clinical experience to support his recommendations. He was the first doctor ever silenced from talking about nutrition. After years of litigation, Dr. Fettke was eventually exonerated but confusion regarding the role of carbohydrates and sugar in human health remains. Tune in to this week's podcast to hear all about Dr. Fettke's journey, the role of carbohydrates in pain management and human health, the problems with vegetable oils and the many invisible forces driving our mainstream dietary recommendations.

EP281: Why We Vilify Meat and the Truth About Our Nation's Dietary Guidelines with Belinda Fettke
We've all heard the misguided message that meat consumption is killing us, but what you might not know is that these beliefs originated from religion, rather than good science or historical evidence. In fact, Dr. John Harvey Kellog originally created cereal as a meat alternative because he believed it would reduce sexual desires in kids. Not to mention there has never been a truly vegan culture. Which is why in this week's podcast with researcher Belinda Fettke we delve into the surprising origins of our nation's Dietary Guidelines and the war on meat. Belinda's husband, Dr. Gary Fettke, an orthopedic surgeon in Australia, was reported to the medical board in 2014 for recommending his diabetic patients reduce the sugar in their diet. This attack prompted Belinda to dig into WHY the science on the benefits of low carbohydrate diets was being ignored. What she found was that it wasn't really about science at all. Tune in now to learn all about the surprising origins of our war on meat and share this podcast with anyone you think needs to hear it! Here are some of the fun facts you'll learn about… Why the first meat alternative was created Why "plant-based" does not equal healthy The role of religion in our nation's dietary guidelines Who was behind the attacks on Dr. Fettke The flaws in the Eat Lancet report The relationship between the Coke and religion The vested interests in the "eat less exercise more" message And much more!

EP280: Eating Psychology & Breaking the Dieting Cycle with Marc David
It's often cited that 95% of those who lose weight on a diet will gain it all back within one year. Why might this happen? Perhaps because most diets only address WHAT you are eating - but not WHY you are eating. How can you break the vicious dieting cycle? Listen to this week's podcast with eating psychology expert, author and founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, Marc David! Here are some of the fascinating tidbits we cover… What an eating psychologist eats for breakfast Why binge eating and emotional eating is on the rise Why willpower is not the issue Why we often reach for food when we are stressed 3 simple ways to reduce emotional eating Why food is not the issue Toxic nutritional beliefs and how to overcome them The antidote to binge eating Why how fast you eat matters Marc's #1 dietary rule Three ways to start improving your relationship with food And so much more!

EP279: The Dangers of Glyphosate with Dr. Stephanie Seneff
We've all heard about the controversy surrounding glyphosate, Roundup's main ingredient. In 2015 The International Agency for Research on Cancer concluded glyphosate may possibly cause cancer in humans. Thousands of lawsuits have also been filed against Bayer, the maker of Roundup, and in 2018 a groundskeeper, diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, was awarded $289 million. Yet, the EPA and FDA deem glyphosate safe, which is why it can still be found in our food and many paleo staples. Thankfully, Dr. Stephanie Seneff Ph.D., a senior research scientist at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, author, and glyphosate expert is on this week's podcast to cut through the controversy. We discuss the research regarding glyphosate's safety, how glyphosate exerts its toxic effects, foods most often contaminated with glyphosate (I think this will surprise you!), and what we can do to help our body detoxify. You do NOT want to miss this episode! Here are some of the other interesting tidbits we'll cover… Simples ways to detox glyphosate The most common foods contaminated with glyphosate The link between glyphosate, autism and neurodegenerative disease How glyphosate affects gut microbes and immune health How glyphosate affects mental health How glyphosate affects sleep The link between reproductive issues and glyphosate The link between vitamin D deficiency and glyphosate Why collagen is particularly vulnerable to glyphosate's destruction The animal products most often tainted with glyphosate The difference between non-GMO and organic Simple ways to improve immune health 3 ways you to reduce glyphosate in food and community And so much more!

EP278: The Nutritional Differences in Conventional vs. Pastured Meat with Fred Provenza
A recent human trial demonstrated that eating wild meat (kangaroo) caused lower levels of post-meal inflammation than eating conventionally-raised beef. In other words, how the animal was raised may have affected the level of inflammation in the body after eating it. When people ate wild meat they had lower levels of inflammation and when they ate meat raised in confinement, they had higher levels of inflammation. And while we don't yet know exactly why this happened, Dr. Fred Provenza, acclaimed author, professor and researcher believes it may have a lot to do with underrated, yet powerful nutrients called secondary compounds. In fact, though you don't hear much about them, secondary compounds have been shown to… Reduce inflammation Provide antioxidant protection Protect against cancer Improve mood Reduce the risk of diabetes Help control appetite And so much more! Most importantly, the levels of secondary compounds change dramatically in meat depending upon what the animal ate and how it was raised. Tune in to this week's fascinating podcast with Dr. Provenza to learn about the little-known, yet important, differences in grass-fed and conventionally raised meats and what it means for your health. Here are some of my favorite takeaways… The benefits of secondary compounds for human health The nutritional difference between pastured meats and CAFO meat The demonstrated changes in human health when you eat CAFO vs. pastured meat The difference between plant-based burgers and grass-fed beef The environmental issues with plant-based burgers Why (and how) animals benefit environmental health Simple ways to get more secondary compounds in our diet And much more! Dr. Provenza is one of my favorite people I've ever interviewed! He's passionate, educated, humble, kind and way ahead of his time! Please share this podcast with anyone you think it may benefit.

EP277: The Chicken Industry Exposed with Matt Wadiak
Over 99% of chicken in America is produced by two companies and raised in ways that can negatively impact human and environmental health. The worst part is, even labels like "cage free" and 'free range" don't actually mean what you think they do. Which is why in this week's podcast, with CEO of Cooks Venture and pioneering pastured chicken farmer, Matt Wadiak, we break down the major problems with the chicken industry and where you can find truly high-quality chicken. Here are the topics we cover… The main problems with the conventional chicken industry Free range vs. cage free vs. pasture-raised The #1 cause of death worldwide (and how conventional chickens contribute!) The 3 additives in the chicken industry you need to know about The problem with organic chicken The inhumane practices used in big chicken Why conventional chicken farmers suffer The company that helps verify chicken quality What chickens should actually be eating The uncommon chicken feed that regenerates the soil The nutrients that are higher in pasture-raised chicken Why and how chickens can improve environmental health Where to find truly pastured and regeneratively raised chicken And so much more!

EP276: Organ Meats: The Forgotten Superfood with Ashleigh VanHouten
Did you know that the most nutrient-dense foods in the world are not plants? Despite what you may have heard, organ meats are gram-for-gram the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. Which is likely why, whenever I eat them, my energy levels go through the roof! And given that most of us are deficient in at least one nutrient today (according to the USDA), organ meats are one of the most important things you can eat to ensure all of your nutrient bases are covered. The only problem? Most people are grossed out by the thought of eating organs or do not like the taste. Thankfully, there are ways to benefit from organ meats even if you do not like the taste, which is what today's fun podcast with author, speaker, health coach, and self-proclaimed muscle nerd, Ashleigh VanHouten is all about!

EP273: Root Cause Solutions for Mental Health Issues with Dr. Elena Villanueva
A 2010 study published in Plos One found that 5 of the 10 most violence-inducing drugs were antidepressants. Alongside antidepressants, 6 sedatives/hypnotics and 3 medications for attentional issues were also associated with increased violence. And while pharmaceutical therapies can work for certain individuals, they clearly cause (sometimes scary) side effects, do not work for everyone, and most importantly, do not address the root cause. Tune in to this week's fascinating podcast with Dr. Villanueva, Creator of the Healthy Body Restoration System and Balance your Brain Program, as we discuss the true causes of mental health issues, the limitations of conventional therapies and holistic strategies for better mental health. Here are some of the gems you'll learn: The limitations of mental health conventional treatments The true causes of mental health issues Commonly used meds that cause violence The link between antidepressants and school shootings How antidepressants alter brain function Her #1 strategy for better mental health The top 5 food triggers of mental health issues Why breathing deeply is not a solution Her powerful transformation out of anxiety and depression And so much more!

EP272: The Dangers of GMOs & Glyphosate with Jeffrey Smith
A 2019 survey of over 3,000 participants noted considerable improvements in the following conditions by avoiding genetically modified organisms (GMOs)...

According to Jeffrey Smith, GMO advocate and this week's podcast guest, novel developments in genetic engineering may possibly contribute to future pandemics. Listen in to learn why GMOs are dangerous, how to identify them, how to get involved in regulating their use and so much more!

EP271: A Breakthrough Natural Solution for Anxiety, Insomnia & Brain Fog with Cameron George
Several studies have shown a spike in anxiety, depression, and insomnia within the last year. In fact, people are 3x more likely to have anxiety or depressive disorders (vs. 2019) and insomnia rates are up 37%. And while many people turn to alcohol, drugs, or benzos to calm down, there's an evidence-based, natural solution that comes with side benefits rather than scary side effects. That solution is Tru Kava. I learned about Tru Kava in March of last year, and have been using it to help me chill out and get more deep sleep ever since! It works as an alcohol replacement and sleep tonic, AND it can also improve mental clarity. Please note: if you search "kava" in google you will most likely find that kava causes liver issues, but please know that the kava that caused liver issues was made by a pharmaceutical company and is NOT the same as Tru Kava or the kava that has been used and revered for over 3000 years in places like Vanuatu. It makes me so sad to think that people will miss out on the incredible benefits of this powerful plant because of this misunderstanding! Tune in to this week's podcast to learn all about the benefits of kava, the nuances in its production, and how to use it for best results with the founder of Tru Kava, Cameron George. Cameron's story of transformation made my hair stand on end and I hope you love this podcast as much as I did. Here are some of the highlights…. A morning tonic for better brain function The limitations (and dangers) of common medications The benefits of kava The difference between kava and alcohol The difference between kava and benzos The mechanisms by which kava reduces anxiety Reverse tolerance (and why it's a good thing!)

EP270: Transforming Your Menstrual Cycle Into a Superpower with Dr. Stephanie Estima
Many women today experience their menstrual cycle as a burden, rather than a superpower. (I know because that used to be me.)

And there is a surprisingly perfect time to reflect and reevaluate. When you don't understand your cycle, these changes can seem overwhelming and unpredictable, but when you do, you can feel empowered and effective. So if you're ready to turn your cycle into a superpower check out this week's podcast with the brilliant and beautiful, Dr. Stephanie Estima. Her knowledge is truly transformative.

"Those who are chronically sleep deprived, those who work lifetime night shifts, chronic insomniacs and those who take sleeping pills chronically die (on average) 12 years earlier and have a higher risk of disease earlier in life."

EP255: Why Some People Get Sick and Others Don't (and How To Find the Root Cause of Your Health Challenges) with Reed Davis
Jumping from diet to diet, pill to pill and/or protocol to protocol without relief can be exhausting. It's a cycle many people (maybe even you) are trapped in today. But the truth is - in order to feel vibrant long term (which is your birthright), you need to identify the root cause(s) of YOUR suffering. For example, breakouts can be caused by MANY things such as... Food allergies/intolerances Blood sugar/insulin imbalances Nutrient deficiencies Stress Hormonal dysfunction Gut issues Poor hygiene And more My cystic breakouts were tied to a garlic intolerance (of all things) which is why all of the other remedies I tried for YEARS (candida cleanse, lotions, microdermabrasion, face creams, etc.) didn't help. And why the paleo diet wasn't enough for me to heal my skin. In other words, different people with the same symptom may need different interventions AND sometimes lab testing can be invaluable for identifying your root issues. It was this realization that brought me to Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN). FDN is a training system that uses data-driven protocols and functional lab testing to help people identify the root cause (or causes) of their suffering. It teaches people to identify their contributors to "metabolic chaos" AND how to systematically cultivate health. I took this course nearly 2 years ago and it changed my life and the way I work with clients. So if you're someone who would love to learn what it takes to get to the root cause of your health issues OR someone who would love to learn how to take their wellness practice to the next level, please tune in to today's podcast with the founder of FDN (and expert in functional lab testing), Reed Davis. Here are a few of the gems you'll learn about... Why some of us get sick and others don't 10 reasons people get "sicker quicker" Why parasites and candida are not always the root issue The most common types of gut bugs The one belief I wish everyone had on their healing journey What vitalism is - and why it's so important The difference between not having symptoms and health The Wellness Meter (and why you should know about it!) The benefits of gut bugs One of the biggest contributors to gut issues The difference between common and normal symptoms Reed's favorite recommendations for gut testing The worst foods for gut health Reed's favorite food sensitivity test 3 steps to improve gut health How to become a health detective And so much more! The knowledge I gained from FDN was so empowering and helpful for me and all of my clients and I sincerely hope you love this interview as much as I did.

EP248: How to Identify and Heal Inherited Family Trauma with Mark Wolynn
Many of us suffer from symptoms and mental health struggles we can't explain. We feel anxious. We self-sabotage. We experience depression. We have illogical fears. And despite our best efforts to lead a healthy lifestyle, something still feels "off." According to new research, this may be due to inherited family trauma. In fact, recent research has revealed we can inherit trauma (just like we do our hair or eye color) that can cause measurable changes in our DNA for several generations. Which means you may be feeling or behaving in a certain way, because your parents or grandparents experienced a traumatic event rather than because there is something wrong with YOU. If this idea is as liberating and fascinating for you as it was for me, please tune in to this week's podcast with award winning author of It Didn't Start with You, Mark Wolynn! We discuss the science behind inherited family trauma, how to identify it and (most importantly) what you can do today to overcome it. The stories he shares will literally make your hair stand on end and I sincerely hope you love this conversation as much as I did. Don't forget to share this conversation with anyone you think it might benefit!
