249: On today’s episode of Realfoodology, we’re rethinking how we approach healing, immune health, and the everyday products we trust — especially for our families. Courtney sits down with Carly Kremer, founder of Beekeeper’s Naturals, to explore how bee-based remedies like propolis and raw honey can help reinvent the medicine cabinet with functional, natural ingredients that actually support the body.
They also discuss why synthetic additives like dyes and corn syrup still show up in OTC meds, why Flonase might not be the best choice, and the emerging science behind nutraceuticals that work with your immune system — not against it.

How do I heal my relationship with food and body image?
What is conscious eating and how can it improve my health?

247: Did you know public schools serve more meals than any restaurant chain in America? And yet, many of those meals come from fast food giants instead of farms. This week, I’m joined by the CEO of Real Certified—a company on a mission to change that. Through their initiative Eat Real, they’re working with school districts to replace ultra-processed cafeteria food with fresh, locally-sourced meals that kids actually enjoy.
In this episode, you’ll learn how Real Certified is empowering parents, partnering with real farmers, and making it easier than ever for schools to serve real, nutritious food. If you’ve ever looked at your child’s lunch tray and thought, “There has to be a better way,” this conversation is your answer.
Topics Discussed:
How can parents help improve school lunches in public schools?
What is the Eat Real program and how does it work in school cafeterias?
Why are ultra-processed foods still being served in American school lunches?
What are the health impacts of poor nutrition in school-aged children?
How can schools transition from processed food to real, locally-sourced meals?

244: This week, I’m joined by Lindsey Meehleis, a certified midwife, doula, lactation consultant, EMT, CPR instructor, and neonatal resuscitation provider. Lindsey brings a truly holistic approach to birth, and our conversation dives deep into the importance of honoring the natural physiology of labor. As someone on my own fertility journey, I asked all the questions I’ve been curious about — from how to find a midwife to what real support during birth looks like.
We explore the over-medicalization of birth in the Western world, how to prepare for a more empowered and informed birthing experience, and why individualized care matters so much. Lindsey’s wisdom and passion for supporting women through this rite of passage is incredibly inspiring — I left this conversation wanting her by my side when I give birth someday.
Topics Discussed:
What is the difference between a midwife and a doula?
How can I prepare for a natural birth in a medicalized world?
Are epidurals and Pitocin necessary for every labor?
What are the risks of relying on baby formula over breastfeeding?
How to find a trustworthy midwife or doula?

239: In this episode, I sit down with the founders of WeNatal to talk all about fertility and the nutrients our bodies need for a healthy pregnancy. As many of you know, I’ve already declared 2025 my year of fertility, and I’m on a mission to learn everything I can to prepare for pregnancy.
We talk about fertility myths, so-called "geriatric pregnancies," and the biggest factors affecting conception today. Both founders have experienced miscarriages, which led them to create a prenatal that truly supports the body’s needs. If you’re hoping to get pregnant this year or next, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
Topics Discussed:
What nutrients are essential for a healthy pregnancy?
How do stress and sleep impact fertility?
What are the biggest misconceptions about "geriatric pregnancies"?
How can men improve their fertility?
What lifestyle changes support conception and a healthy baby?

234: I am excited to welcome Paul Saladino to the podcast, as this conversation was long overdue. We recorded while we were both in Washington, D.C., for the Make America Healthy Again ball, and I’m so excited to share it with you. Paul is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to nutrition and preventative health, and I’ve been following his work for years.
In this episode, we take a deep dive into cholesterol myths, the role of saturated fat, and how metabolic dysfunction—not cholesterol—is the real issue. Paul shares a fascinating analogy that helped me fully grasp these concepts. We also discuss the benefits of an animal-based diet, the history and controversy around raw milk, and the broader implications of nutrition policy and education.
Topics Discussed:
Raw vs. pasteurized milk
The role of saturated fat in health
Cholesterol myths and metabolic dysfunction
Pharma companies, statins, and LDL levels
Meat consumption and heart disease
Fasting insulin and ancestral diets
Food deserts and nutrition policy
Calorie counting and eating disorders
Stay tuned for part two!!!
