  • I love the incredible amount of detail I learn from a client’s genetic report. From there I create a DNA blueprint that takes all that technical knowledge and turns it into something they can understand and use to create real change in their lives.

    So many people come to me having spoken to other doctors or health professionals who suggest something generic - that doesn’t work for them. Meanwhile the health issues are accumulating and my client has no idea which one to address first, especially when they have to go see a different specialist for each one.

    But it’s so hard for me to show you how these actually work with clients - those old HIPAA rules mean I can’t just share any old report, and it’s so hard to explain without the context of how it works in someone’s life.

    Which is why I was delighted to be on Dr. Shivani Gupta’s podcast Fusionary Health recently. I’ve been working with Dr. Shivani on her health issues, and she recently took the 3x4 genetic test I use with all my clients.

    She was willing to share all the details (we actually read through it on the podcast) and I could explain exactly what those results mean for her health both now and in the future.

    If you’ve ever wondered just how useful genetic tests are, then you’re going to want to take a listen to this one! You’ll hear me break it down in real time, and get a real sense of the support I can provide clients to know what issue to deal with first.

  • Were you ever prescribed a medication and didn’t question why or for how long or even what it was for exactly? Did you have a say in this decision? Would you prefer to NOT be on any medications at all?

    Well if you answered yes to any of these you will want to listen to this podcast.

    Today I talk with Howie Kra, who has been on his health journey for 3 ½ years now and has made amazing progress. Howie was on three different medications, and like many of you, wanted to be off them but just didn’t know what he needed to do to get there.

    Howie shares his health challenges, where he started and how far he has come. If you want to hear about what Howie has done and the ups and downs of this process take a listen. He’s always an inspiration to listen to and is sure to get you thinking about your own health journey.

  • There’s a lot of buzz going around on social media about our food. Specifically around the quality of our food and how so many chemicals have made their way into the supply chain of the foods we eat.

    The impact of this is far reaching and has significant health consequences both for adults and children.

    The rise of serious health conditions such as certain cancers can also be linked to these toxic chemicals and if you want to know more about this you need to listen.

    If you are wondering how and why this is happening take a listen. Hear about the grassroots efforts taking place nationally to hold these companies accountable for their misleading actions.

    Awareness is key. Educate yourself about what is in your food so you can protect yourself and those you love.

  • With so many of our clients on the GLP-1 medications, we figured it was time to address the elephant in the room.

    How do you maintain weight loss once you come off of the medications? It is a well known fact that the majority of people on GLP-1 medications see rapid weight gain once they stop taking them. So how do you keep the weight off?

    This week I talked with one of our coaches, Michele Baron, and we took a deep dive into why people begin to gain weight after they cycle off of these medications. We talk about strategies to help offset this phenomenon and how to manage it before it gets out of control. We discuss ways to help control hunger and cravings and offer real time solutions.

    Our conversation covers a variety of topics such as the importance of resistance exercise and what that looks like as well as how to create lifelong habits that will help support long term weight management.

    This is a great episode, don’t miss it!

  • I am always inspired by the guests I get to interview for this podcast. Today was no different, but my conversation with Kelly Ryerson was particularly impactful for me. Kelly defines what it means to be an advocate for health and for industry transparency.

    Take a listen to how Kelly’s own health crisis led her down the path of exposing the dangerous chemicals in our food supply, specifically glyphosate. This is truly a must listen. If you care about your health, if you care about your childrens’ health, you need to tune into this one.

    Kelly and I cover so much ground here and discuss how the food industry “gets” away with poisoning us and our families.

    I encourage you to listen and share this information. It's vital to our health, that of our families and that of our planet.

  • I think you are going to love this conversation I had with Dr. Eva Brown and her husband Paul.

    This was Part 2 of my conversation with Eva, and having her husband Paul on the podcast to provide his insight, his perspective and his wisdom was fantastic.

  • Let's face it, raising kids can be challenging. We all want the best for our children, and teaching them how to take care of themselves is an important job for us parents. Speaking from experience, I know what it’s like to get the push back from not only my kids, but from society itself.

  • Is weight loss the key to healthy and wellbeing?

    One of my most favorite things to do is talk to clients about their amazing success stories with us. But, our success stories aren’t just about weight loss. As a matter of fact, most of the time, weight loss is the side effect of adopting new habits, a new way of looking at food and nourishment. More importantly it's about the time, effort and energy that you invest in yourself. The truest form of self care there is.

    Nope, no magic quick fixes here. If you want to hear about what the journey looks like then take a listen to this podcast. I chat with one of our amazing clients, Natalie, about her journey with us. Listen as Natalie's takes us through her process and her quest for transformation.

  • Protein, protein, protein. This topic is everywhere. And I literally mean everywhere. It is one of the most trending topics on social media, and people are talking about it wherever I go.

    Yet have you ever wondered where we get the recommendations that we do? Have you ever thought about whether or not what you have been told is correct? Seems like there are so many so-called experts out there, and so many studies that contradict one another, how do we even know where to start with all of it?

    This is the topic of our discussion today. Dr. Sherri Greene and I try to debunk the false “truths” and help you truly understand what is behind the protein debacle.

  • It’s 4th July week, and that means some of you will be hanging out with family, going to parties, and maybe having a tough time with regulating your emotions in relation to relationships or food. So I figured it was the perfect time to do a Rebel Rewind of this part 2 of this conversation I had with Shari Coltune in 2022.

    We talk about how we handle our emotions and the brain body connection. We consider how to nourish all of ourselves in an effort to get and stay healthy.

    Shari is a Master Certified Integrative Life Coach and Intuitive Healer who works with people with autoimmune issues, and with problems of estrangement and loss of identity.

    We discussed reframing how we see ‘fixing’ health problems, diet culture, and a tool Shari suggests to help when you’ve been making progress but then go back to your old, destructive habits.

    Take a listen as Shari and I discuss all this and more - I think you’ll love it!

  • I have a question for you — do you ever think about the food you eat? I mean really think about where it comes from and who is growing it?

    Have you ever had a garden or grown your own food? If you have you probably have a whole different appreciation for farmers, as it’s not always so easy tending to one’s garden! But you also know that food you have grown yourself tastes completely different than what you buy in the store.

    It has become more apparent to me that our freedom around food is becoming increasingly regulated and with that increasingly devitalized and toxic.

    Toxic food, that has been factory farmed, with chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides is unhealthy for our bodies and as we know from studies leads to disease.

    How do we protect ourselves from this? Amanda and I talk about the growing trend of regenerative farming, and how empowering farmers to take back control over their land can not only make a difference in our lives, but can also greatly impact our planet.

    Take a listen to this compelling conversation. It will have you looking at your food in a whole new light.

    I think that is pretty appropriate for the discussion I had with Dr Eva Brown, a licensed marriage and family therapist, owner and founder of Sacred Partners and the creator of her signature methodology Conscious Relationship Mapping™”
