Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” for your health but still not feeling your best? Maybe it’s the brain fog that won’t lift, the energy crash mid-afternoon, or the bloating that seems to happen no matter what you eat. It’s frustrating, right? But what if those symptoms weren’t “just normal” but rather signals your body is craving something deeper—like a reset?
In this episode of Rooted in Wellness, I sit down with Dr. James DiNicolantonio, a cardiovascular research scientist, to explore the silent ways our diet and lifestyle might be holding us back. From the dangers of seed oils to the surprising impact of nutrient deficiencies, Dr. James and I dive into the science behind optimizing your energy, digestion, and mental clarity.
We also discuss the critical role of salt in brain function, how to manage sugar cravings without complete restriction, and why your morning coffee might be draining your body more than fueling it.
Dr. James DiNicolantonio is a leading expert in cardiovascular health and nutrition science, with over 300 publications in medical literature and bestselling books like The Salt Fix and Superfuel. He is also the Medical Advisor for IM8, and provides exclusive insights into the groundbreaking science driving IM8’s mission—a company dedicated to revolutionizing health and wellness through cutting-edge, evidence-based solutions designed to enhance vitality and longevity.

Most of us brush our teeth, floss, go to the dentist, and get the procedures done that our dentists tell us we need. Many of us never stop to wonder what else we could be doing for our oral health and whether or not we actually need these procedures done. It’s time we get educated on what our oral microbiome needs from us and why procedures don’t need to be the first thing we do to improve our oral health.
That’s why in this episode of Rooted in Wellness, I chat with Dr. Leedia Riman on how to heal and optimize our teeth and entire oral microbiome in a holistic way - using dental procedures as a last resort. Dr. Leedia also explains how our oral microbiome is integral to all systems of our body and the natural remedies and habits we can adopt in our daily lives that will make a drastic difference in the health of our teeth, mouth, and entire body.
Dr. Leedia is a holistic dentist who provides a mindful, integrative, whole-body approach to dental care. She is also the creator of Koracare, a lifestyle brand for all women to raise awareness about the importance of dental care during pregnancy, and thereafter, for mommy and baby. She’s also the creator of Little Jules, a unique candy line that will not give children and adults any dental cavities - only joy and healthy smiles!
