  • 🌱 Episode Summary

    In this episode, Cody sits down with Megan Hall, an educator, gardener, and homesteader, to explore how reconnecting with nature—through gardening, going outside, or simply noticing little things—can significantly improve our mental health and sense of empowerment. Together, they reflect on the challenges of modern life, the limits of the school system, and how small actions like growing a pea plant or cooking a homemade meal can foster joy, resilience, and deeper connection.

    Why being outside—even without a garden—can lift your mood and boost mental clarity

    How children are natural mindfulness teachers, and what we can learn from their sense of wonder

    The historical roots of our school system and how it’s conditioned us away from creativity

    Realistic ways to get started with gardening or food self-sufficiency, even in small apartments

    How food preservation and cooking from scratch can build confidence and emotional grounding

    The link between self-reliance and reduced anxiety or fear of uncertainty

    Reconnect with childlike curiosity—notice a flower, watch a bird, feel the sunshine

    Don’t be a victim of circumstance; reclaim your power by engaging with what you can control

    Megan is the voice behind Heal With Me Homestead, where she offers one-on-one coaching and holistic healing resources focused on reconnecting with food, nature, and intuitive living.

With over two decades of experience, Blanca explains how she integrates modalities like myofascial release, hot stone therapy, lymphatic drainage, and reflexology to support each client's unique journey.

    We explore the vital connection between physical touch and emotional healing, the power of rest and integration (especially those final moments in a massage or yoga class), and how trauma-informed care plays a role in helping clients with complex histories—including breast cancer survivors.

  • Episode Summary:
    In this episode, I dive into some clarification on my philosophy for nutrition as some of my guests may have given the wrong idea. I also discuss what it means to be truly holistic rather than integrative or functional. I talk about the modern medical system and explore whether many common medical procedures, surgeries, and pharmaceutical treatments are truly necessary. I share my personal experiences with the healthcare system, including my journey with dentistry, surgery, and homeopathy, and discuss how nutrition and lifestyle changes can often prevent and even reverse health issues.

    We’ll examine the problems with allopathic medicine’s symptom-focused approach and how alternative and holistic methods can be a safer, more sustainable option. Whether it’s questioning routine dental procedures, avoiding unnecessary medications, or embracing homeopathy, this episode is all about empowering you to take control of your health with knowledge and informed decision-making.

    Key Topics Discussed:

    The overuse of surgery and pharmaceutical drugs in Western medicine

    The impact of nutrition on chronic conditions like joint pain and inflammation

    The connection between oral health, diet, and overall wellness

    Homeopathy as a non-invasive and effective alternative approach to healing

    The business side of healthcare and how it influences medical recommendations

    The importance of questioning authority figures in the medical field

    Personal experiences with holistic dentistry and avoiding unnecessary medications

    The role of epigenetics in disease prevention and how lifestyle changes can make a difference

    Notable Quotes:

    “Many of these surgeries and medications are unnecessary. It’s about understanding what lifestyle and nutritional changes you can make first.”

    “The allopathic model hyper-focuses on symptoms rather than root causes—it’s time we shift our approach.”

    “Only 6% of diseases are truly hereditary; the rest are influenced by diet and lifestyle.”

    “Homeopathy is an entirely different system of medicine—not illegitimate, just different.”

  • 📣 This is a special episode for Podcasthon! 🎙️This episode is dedicated to the Weston A. Price Foundation.

    In this enlightening episode of Real Food Mental Health, we welcome Sally Fallon Morell, president of the Weston A. Price Foundation. Sally shares the wisdom of Dr. Weston A. Price, a pioneering researcher who studied traditional diets across the world. Her insights shed light on the power of nutrient-dense foods and ancestral eating practices for achieving optimal mental and physical health. We specifically discuss anxiety, depression, autism, fats, and gut health.

    The Wisdom of Traditional Diets: Sally explains how traditional diets, rich in whole, unprocessed foods, promote well-being. These diets emphasize animal fats, organ meats, and raw dairy, all of which are nutrient-dense and key to supporting brain health and vitality.

    The Importance of Fat-Soluble Vitamins: Sally emphasizes the crucial role of vitamins A, D, and K2 — nutrients abundant in traditional foods. These vitamins play vital roles in immune function, bone health, and neurological well-being.

    Rethinking Modern Food Practices: Sally warns against the dangers of industrialized food products, such as processed oils and refined carbohydrates, which she connects to rising rates of chronic disease and mental health challenges.

    The Role of Nutrient Density: The Weston A. Price Foundation advocates for nutrient-dense foods, particularly organ meats, seafood, and properly prepared grains, as the cornerstone of a thriving body and mind.

    Prioritize traditional animal fats such as butter, lard, and tallow for cooking.

    Choose grass-fed meats, pasture-raised eggs, and raw dairy for their superior nutritional profiles.

    Seek out local, organic sources of produce and animal products to ensure nutrient density and environmental sustainability.

    Sally’s message is clear: by embracing traditional wisdom and nourishing our bodies with whole, nutrient-dense foods, we can support vibrant mental and physical health. Tune in to this episode to learn practical ways to incorporate these principles into your everyday life.

Our guest, Lilly Rachels delves into the role of emotions, medication, stress, and personal growth in shaping our mental and relational well-being. We discuss the societal tendency to suppress emotions, the over-reliance on medication without accompanying therapy, and how shifting our mindset about discomfort can help build resilience. We discuss how relationships can falter by not following sound self-care principles such as eating well and exercising, and using motivational interviewing in relationships.

    Key Topics Covered:

    The impact of antidepressants on emotional regulation

    The importance of experiencing and understanding all emotions, rather than suppressing them

    Medication as a temporary tool rather than a long-term solution

    The societal discomfort with unpleasant emotions and how to reframe them as signals rather than problems

    The role of stress in personal growth and resilience, distinguishing between distress and eustress

    The benefits of yoga and mindfulness in developing self-awareness and emotional resilience

    The historical shift from holistic health practices to modern Western medicine

    The pressures placed on romantic relationships and the misconceptions about love "healing" past trauma

    How understanding childhood relationships can provide insight into romantic relationship patterns

    Memorable Quotes:

    "Pills don’t teach skills."

    "Being uncomfortable isn’t bad for you—it’s a signal for growth."

    "You’re not going to meet someone who can love the trauma out of you."

    "Holistic health was the norm for centuries—only recently did we shift away."

  • This is Part I of a short series on genetic testing and health!

    Episode Summary:
    In this episode, we discuss functional medicine and fertility with Jaclyn Downs, MS, CHC, CD, a Functional Medicine Practitioner and author of Enhancing Fertility Through Functional Medicine: Using Nutrigenomics to Solve Unexplained Infertility. Together, we explore the critical connection between lifestyle, environment, and reproductive health. Jaclyn shares actionable insights on balancing blood sugar, detoxifying from environmental toxins, and leveraging genetics to empower proactive health choices.

    Key Topics Discussed:

    The Root Causes of Fertility Challenges:
    Jaclyn sheds light on often-overlooked factors like blood sugar dysregulation, histamine balance, and fatty acid utilization. These are crucial for hormone balance and fertility.

    Toxins and Their Impact on Hormonal Health:
    We discuss the role of endocrine disruptors, including plastics, pesticides, and mold exposure, in disrupting metabolic and reproductive pathways. Jaclyn highlights practical steps to minimize exposure and detoxify effectively.

    Blood Sugar and Hormone Balance:
    Simple strategies like starting your day with a protein-based breakfast, pairing carbs with fats and proteins, and incorporating supplements like chromium and berberine can help stabilize blood sugar and improve overall health.

    Liver Detoxification Pathways:
    Jaclyn emphasizes the importance of supporting phase two liver detox pathways, particularly glucuronidation, to clear mycotoxins and hormone-mimicking substances. Tips include consuming dandelion root, cruciferous vegetables, and foods rich in ellagic acid, like berries and chestnuts.

    Genetics and Proactive Health:
    Understanding your genetic predispositions is not a doom-and-gloom approach but a tool to empower you. Jaclyn explains how knowing your genetics can guide lifestyle adjustments and prepare you for future health challenges.

    Actionable Takeaways: Balance blood sugar through diet, movement (especially strength training), and targeted supplements. Reduce toxin exposure by avoiding plastics, microwaving in plastic, and touching receipts. Swap to glass or stainless steel for food and beverages. Incorporate detox-supportive foods like cruciferous vegetables, dandelion root, and berries. Use genetic testing as a tool for empowerment and proactive health management. Advocate for your health and make informed decisions about your environment, diet, and lifestyle.
