エピソード

  • 240: If you are thinking about quitting alcohol or perhaps you just did Dry January and are considering "what now"? - this is the episode for you! Today I have Amanda Kudo on the show and she shares her own personal story about quitting alcohol when she never really was an alcoholic to begin with, but she experienced so many health benefits including not having "crunchy muscles" (and we'll get into what she means by that), more energy, weight loss, better sleep, clearer skins, and so much, more. Amanda was only drinking socially on the weekends but she still wasn't feeling well which led her on her journey to cut out alcohol and experience physical and emotional freedom and how you can too. Even if you yourself don't drink, I'm sure you know someone that does....perhaps it's your partner, friend, child, or parent. This episode teaches you how to encourage those around you to take a break from drinking and methods and tips to go about that without being "annoying" or like you are stepping over your boundaries. 

    We also talk about some really interesting non-alcoholic drinks on the market including dealcoholized wine and I share my favorite go-to alcohol free store bought drink as well. So if you're sober curious, grab a drink (alcohol free of course) and tune in and walk away with empowering tips and tricks to living less inflamed, more empowered, and mentally ready to  experience a non-alcohol way of life. 


    Topics Discussed:


    What crunchy muscles means

    Non-alcoholic drinks on the market (and my fav!)

    How EVEN social drinking can be hindering your health goals

    Tips to stop drinking

    Tips to help someone you know try to quit drinking

    The parent, child relationship between alcohol in the home

    Alternatives coping methods instead of drinking

    Why and what YOUR reason is for not drinking

  • 226: In today's episode, Dr. Sarah and I discuss the food matrix and how the structure of our food actually impacts the way we digest and absorb the nutrients, how calories actually change in a food depending on their structure, and if negative calories actually exist. We dive into smoothies and the proper way to consume them, and also how fast we eat matters. And if you're peri or post menopause, Dr. Berry explains the reasons why women experience weight gain even though they haven't changed their eating habits or exercise routine and why we actually crave more food after a bad night's sleep. 

    Topics Discussed:


    Food matrix

    How the structure of food impacts the calories

    Negative calories (do they exist?)

    Eating slower to stay fuller

    Whole nuts vs nut butters

    Whole oats vs ground oats

    Pureed food vs whole

    Menopause

    How estrogen affects our hunger signals

  • Have you heard of the gut circadian rhythm? We often talk about our overall circadian rhythm, and most of us automatically think about sleep—waking up in the morning and going to bed at night. But did you know your gut has its own circadian rhythm? It affects digestion and may be the key to addressing issues like constipation or weight gain.

    In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Vincent Pedre, where we dive deep into how to align our metabolism with our circadian rhythm to improve sleep, support regular bowel movements, aid weight loss, and keep hunger cravings in check.

    We also explore the impact of microplastics—some of their surprising sources—and discuss how stress can contribute to constipation. We touch on how childhood antibiotics may be linked to IBS today, and offer practical ways to reduce the toxic load in our diets and daily lives.
    Don’t worry, this isn't an episode filled with doom and gloom! We’re here to provide actionable tips and resources to help you improve your health without breaking the bank. My goal is never to fearmonger, but to inform—because when we know better, we can do better. With the right knowledge and tools, we can all lead healthier, happier lives.

    Topics Discussed:

    You don’t have to have obvious gut symptoms to have a gut issue

    Non-gut issues that may actually be gut-related

    Common causes of constipation

    Natural ways to relieve constipation

    Why the timing of your meals matters

    How timed eating supports constipation relief, weight loss, and IBS

    The dangers of over-sanitization

    Microplastics: Beyond just plastic items

    How stress affects digestion, causing constipation and diarrhea

    The link between childhood antibiotics and IBS today

    Simple swaps and changes to reduce our toxic load in daily routines

  • Do you know there are actually low-carb potatoes?
    Do you avoid carbs because of gut issues like SIBO, IBS, or blood sugar spikes, and wish you could incorporate them back into your diet? Well, today I have Phoebe Lapine on the show, and she shares ways we can still enjoy carbs in the right way. It all comes down to preparation, quantity, and combining carbs with other foods, as well as experimenting to find what works for you. Phoebe is the cookbook author of SIBO Made Simple and has recently released her newest book, CARBivore. Phoebe has personally experienced SIBO, Hashimoto's, and several other health challenges I think we can all relate to. In this conversation, she shares some tips and tricks to help us expand our diets with carbs while still keeping blood sugar and IBS in check. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!


    Topics Discussed:


    How to prepare carbs to benefit you

    What to look for when buying pasta

    Elimination dieting

    Fiber: Helpful or harmful?

    Trigger foods to avoid

    Helpful foods for a SIBO diet

  • 228: This episode is different from most as Dr. Austin Lake and I discuss how the feminist movement perhaps does more harm than good to women's health and WHY women are more prone to autoimmune diseases. We get into the nitty gritty of how our society has driven women into becoming the perfect storm in accumulating more stress and responsibilities than men and the domino effect that plays in our overall health as families. Dr. Austin and I also dive into our own faith and how that has been super important in our own lives and the question of "Why does God not heal us even if we have been praying for healing for years?" - the answer to this may not be definite, but it sure brings hope to those looking for healing and relief especially if you are a believer....but even if you're not, our conversation went beyond our faith as we also dove into if coffee was a friend or foe (especially for women), if fasting is healthy, how we can avoid toxins recirculating in our body, ideas to help you save money all while saving your health. 

    We went in all directions in our conversations and you will get a bite of everything in this episode, so I hope you listen all the way through because I have no doubt every person that does will get something out of it they can take away and apply to their own lives. 


    Topics Discussed:


    Why women have more health issues than men

    Saving money while prioritizing your health

    Why God doesn't heal us even when we have prayed for healing

    The importance of slowing down

    How society has made our health worse

    How coffee can be our friend

    Fasting (good or bad?)

    Individual health needs

  • 227:Why are we seeing more “made with bioengineered ingredients” on food packages? HINT: Nothing has changed with the ingredients—the law has changed! Companies are now required to disclose if their products contain or are made with GMOs (whereas, in the past, it was not mandatory to disclose this). Today, I’m going over how to spot a non-GMO item, even if it’s not certified “non-GMO,” and tips to help you make the best decision for you and your family while grocery shopping. 

    Topics Discussed:

    - WHY we are seeing more “bioengineered” ingredients in food  
    - Label laws and mandates  
    - List of bioengineered foods  
    - GMOs vs selective breeding  
    - Organic certifications  
    - Non-GMO Project certification  
    - Why certifications aren’t a “free pass”  
    - Why certain brands don’t have certifications  
    - How to choose the best foods in grocery stores  
    - Tips for buying non-GMO foods (how to spot them)

  • 225: In this episode, you'll discover all the benefits propolis can offer for your body and immune system. If you're looking for an alternative to antibiotics, antiviral medications, immune support, digestive support, sleep aids, and even help to combat and detox your system from microplastics, keep listening. In this interview, I sit down with Carly Kremer, the founder of Beekeeper's Naturals, a holistic supplement company that integrates and uses bee-derived products such as propolis, royal jelly, raw honey, and bee pollen synergistically to support the immune system, as well as address issues like PMS, menopause, sleep, energy, leaky gut, brain health, and even fertility.

    We also debunk the myth of glyphosate in honey, discuss whether organic honey really exists, explore whether the sugar in honey causes blood sugar spikes, and so much more. It's flu season, and if you're someone who always gets sick or struggles with an autoimmune system, this episode might provide the information you need for better health. I can't wait for you to listen! And remember to share this episode with anyone you think could benefit from it—we all can benefit from better health.

  • 223: In this episode, we not only discuss why you're experiencing unexplained, mysterious symptoms that no doctor can pinpoint, but I also share my own health struggles that I've been dealing with since 2020—struggles I haven't shared much about on Instagram or other social platforms. There seems to be a HUGE link between people who had COVID, like I did back in 2020, and current health issues that either haven’t gone away or only seem to flare up intermittently.

    If you've been dealing with symptoms like exercise intolerance, a racing heartbeat, anxiety that comes out of nowhere (even when you know you're not fearful or anxious about anything), insomnia, waking up to pee 3-5 times during the night, or symptoms of a UTI but the tests always come back negative, then keep listening. These side effects and reactions are just a few of the many random, mysterious issues that could be linked to histamine intolerance, which is also tied to COVID.

    I speak with Michelle Shapiro, who explains in more detail what histamine intolerance is, which foods and wellness routines trigger it (such as exercise, vitamin C IVs, drinking bone broth, and other popular “wellness regimens” many of us do) that could actually be hindering your health and causing these so-called “flare-ups.” We discuss why these symptoms may come and go in flares, and why some days or months we feel fine, but then suddenly experience a loss of energy, skin rashes, and chronic gut issues that last for weeks.

    Speaking of gut issues—if you feel like your digestion has never been the same since you had COVID, there could be a connection. Michelle breaks it all down and explains how we can take steps to get our lives back. There’s good news, though!

  • 221: For anyone trying to conceive now, planning to in the next year or two, or even considering having kids in 5 or 10 years, or perhaps you're over 40 and have lost hope in having children—this episode is exactly for you! So basically, if you're a woman, this episode is a must-listen. In today’s interview, I sit down with Ronit and Vida, best friends and the co-founders of WeNatal, a prenatal supplement designed not only for women but also for their male partners.  

    We bust a lot of myths about fertility, such as improving egg quality, the misconception that fertility is only a woman’s issue, conceiving after 40, and even how some "health routines" may actually be hindering egg and sperm quality and count. Many people don’t realize that practices like saunas, cold plunges, and even something as simple as touching receipts could make it more difficult to conceive.  

    We also discuss what to avoid when trying to get pregnant, as well as foods to consume and other things to implement to support conception and a growing baby. Most importantly, this episode truly empowers and gives hope to any couple trying to conceive—whether later in life or after several miscarriages. So many women feel alone in this journey and struggle to figure things out, and this interview could be the podcast episode that helps turn things around for you. I hope you enjoy it and that it brings some light to your day and life.  

    Topics Covered:

    - Misconceptions about infertility  
    - Egg and sperm myths  
    - Conceiving after 40  
    - The decline in fertility rates  
    - Common factors inhibiting fertility and what to avoid

    - Lifestyle factors that help and harm fertility  
    - What men SHOULD and SHOULD NOT be doing to help fertility  
    - Miscarriages  
    - Ways to increase egg quality

    - Postpartum depression links
