Thirty-two doctors. That’s how many Jess saw while her son was vomiting nightly, losing his hair, and covered in eczema, and not one of them would consider that food might be the cause. She trusted her gut anyway, and she was right. If you’ve ever been dismissed by a doctor, you need to hear this story. What really got me was how deep corn runs in our food system, from carriers and processing aids to natural flavors, and how none of it has to show up on a label. This is exactly why I’m so passionate about label transparency. Jess is a fierce, loving mom who turned her family’s hardest season into a company, and I think you’ll walk away inspired and a little more label-savvy. Here are a few of my biggest takeaways from our conversation: Trust your gut. Jess was dismissed by doctor after doctor when she suspected food was the root cause of her son’s symptoms. Her advice to parents: a mother’s (and father’s) intuition matters, so hold your ground when something doesn’t feel right. Corn hides almost everywhere. With 1,800+ corn derivatives, it can show up in maltodextrin, citric acid, natural flavors, vitamin D carrier oils in milk, enriched flour fortifications, and even machine processing aids that never have to be listed on a label. “Natural” doesn’t mean what you think. Terms like “clean” and “no fluff” aren’t regulated, and many brands don’t even know what’s in their own natural flavors. Jess’s rule for Cob is simple: if you wouldn’t find it in your own kitchen, it doesn’t go in the product. Sorghum is an ancient grain worth knowing. It’s naturally gluten-free and non-GMO, pops just like popcorn, can be made into tortilla chips, and is a low-resource, drought-resistant crop.  Listen and share this one with anyone you know struggling with food allergies.  Meet Jessica: Jess Davidoff is the founder and CEO of Cob, a snack brand making corn-free, gluten-free snacks from the ancient grain sorghum.  A serial entrepreneur and Princeton graduate, Jess developed the concept after her son’s corn allergy diagnosis led her to overhaul her family’s entire diet. After testing her popped sorghum at a Hamptons farmers market in 2024, she brought on tennis champion Novak Djokovic as co-founder. Djokovic also led the company’s $5 million seed round.  Today Cob offers popped sorghum in four flavors and a sorghum tortilla chip. Jess lives in Sag Harbor, New York, with her husband and two sons.  Connect with Jess Davidoff:Website: cobfoods.comInstagram: @cobfoodsAlso available on Amazon and in specialty stores nationwide Shop our show sponsor:  Active Skin Repair: Get 20% off your order at ActiveSkinRepair.com with code JUSTINGREDIENTS.

Doctors told Ashleigh Di Lello she wouldn’t live past her teenage years. She went on to become an elite athlete and Broadway performer, and today she teaches how the brain-body connection affects stress, pain, and emotional healing. In this conversation, she opens up about her first and second health journeys that brought her to a place of real surrender, and how she chose to rewire again. I loved how she explained the brain in such a simple, practical way, and how beautifully she ties neuroscience and faith together. I think this episode will give you a lot of hope. Here are a few of my biggest takeaways from our conversation: The brain does what it practices. Ashleigh compares the brain to AI: it's only as good as the prompt we give it. The thoughts and responses we repeat become the pathways our brain defaults to. Our bodies hold onto emotional experiences. Stress we carry emotionally doesn't just stay in our minds. It can show up in how our bodies feel day to day. Regulating and rewiring are not the same thing. Regulation is like turning down the volume on a loud stereo. The stress is still there, but it's not overwhelming. Rewiring goes deeper and changes the way we habitually respond to stress, trauma, and conditioning over time. Knowing the "why" makes your practices more powerful. Tools like breathing, grounding, and cold therapy can support your nervous system, and understanding what you're doing and why helps magnify their impact. Healing starts with compassion. Ashleigh reminds us to meet ourselves with kindness, especially in the hardest seasons.

Meet Ashleigh: Ashleigh Di Lello is a Brain Coach and the founder and creator of Bio Emotional Healing®, a neuroscience-based method that helps clients around the world work through emotional trauma, limiting beliefs, anxiety, and the effects of chronic pain and illness. Despite being told by doctors she wouldn't live past her teenage years, she refused to give up and discovered the power of rewiring the brain-body connection. She went on to become an elite athlete, TV and Broadway performer, entrepreneur, Brain Coach, and keynote speaker. Ashleigh's mission is to bridge neuroscience, faith, and human transformation.

This episode was such a fun change of pace. Instead of a doctor or scientist, I sat down with three health and wellness friends, Wasim, Jazz, and Amanda, who flew in from across the country to be here. Each of them shared how they got started, and I learned things I never knew, like the accident that completely changed Jazz’s path. We talked about what drives us crazy in the health world, how to sort through all the noise, and what you can stop stressing about. Here are a few of my biggest takeaways from our conversation: Ingredients matter, not just calories. Calories only tell part of the story. What’s actually in your food matters just as much. Ditch the all-or-nothing mindset. You don’t have to change everything at once. Jazz and Amanda both encourage starting where you feel comfortable and keeping a few simple health habits you can lean on when life gets busy. Use common sense to cut through the noise. Ask who funded the study, look up how a food is actually made, and pay attention to how your own body responds. Even healthy foods don’t work for everyone. Small changes at home add up. Simple shifts in your environment, like your lighting, your water, or keeping a calm, tidy space, can make a bigger difference than you’d expect. Tune in now and share this one with a friend! About Wasim Syed: Wasim, known online as @imjustwasim, is a lifestyle and wellness content creator focused on helping people make cleaner, more informed choices about food, ingredients, and everyday products. Through simple, easy-to-understand content, he shares healthier swaps, ingredient education, and practical ways to live a more intentional, non-toxic lifestyle. About Jazz Leaf: Jazz ditched the 9-to-5 grind after years in corporate America to pursue her passion: cooking. She is a Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and a former private chef for NBA athletes. After years of meal prep, catering, cooking classes, and private cheffing, she is now a full-time recipe creator. Jazz specializes in quick, beginner-friendly healthy recipes that take 30 minutes or less and use 10 ingredients max. She’s also a mom to a 3-year-old! About Amanda Rocchio Amanda Rocchio (Meixner), aka @MeowMeix, is a nutrition creator who started MeowMeix while meal prepping for work. She spent years thinking “healthy” meant restriction and dieting. After recovering from an eating disorder in high school, she realized real health is about fueling your body with the right foods and understanding why they matter, and that’s what she loves most about what she does.

This conversation is one I truly believe can change lives. Dr. Stephanie Culler helped me see that a baby's gut bacteria are one of the most overlooked pieces of their health. The first 1,000 days of life shape so much more than I ever realized. What struck me most is that so few parents, and even pediatricians, are hearing about this research. I walked away wishing every pediatrician could hear it, and every mom too. Share this one with all your friends with littles! Here are a few of my biggest takeaways from our conversation: The first 1,000 days matter more than we realize. A baby's gut microbiome is built during this early window. What happens there is connected to their digestion, immune system, and brain development, and its effects can reach into adulthood. Babies today have different gut bacteria than babies a generation ago. Stephanie led the My Baby Biome study, the largest U.S. study to profile the infant gut microbiome. It found that many babies today are missing key bacteria that used to be common. C-sections, antibiotics, and feeding choices all shape a baby's gut. Knowing how they affect gut bacteria simply helps parents make informed decisions. Gut bacteria are the missing piece alongside nutrition. Gut bacteria play an important role in how a baby digests and uses that nourishment. We talk about how to make sure a baby's gut microbiome is in a good place! Gut health matters at every age. We also talked about adult gut health, why fiber is so important for feeding good bacteria, and why researchers are paying close attention to the rise in colorectal cancer among younger adults. Tune in now and share this one with a parent friend who needs to hear it! About Dr. Stephanie Culler Stephanie Culler, Ph.D., is the co-founder and CEO of Persephone Biosciences, where she is pioneering microbiome-based medicines to transform human health. She is the lead author of the My Baby Biome study, the largest U.S. study to profile the infant gut microbiome, and her work spans applications from infant health to oncology.

I loved having two of my internet friends here in Utah to record this episode! Hunter and Jasyra's stories reminded me so much of how I got started on Instagram. None of us set out to become "health influencers." We each just wanted to share what had helped us on our own health journeys. They both started out struggling with their own health, and they used those struggles as the push to learn, make changes, and share what they found with all of us. This episode is a good reminder that everyone starts in a different place., what matters is that you start. I loved this conversation and learned so much more about both of them than I knew before. I know you'll walk away feeling encouraged instead of overwhelmed. Here are a few of my biggest takeaways from our conversation: Your health struggles can become your motivation. Hunter and Jasyra each share the personal health stories that started their journeys, and how those hard seasons turned into the reason they now help others live healthier. Everyone starts in a different spot, and that's okay. There's no perfect starting line. Wherever you are right now is a good place to begin, and comparing your journey to someone else's only gets in the way. Small swaps at home add up. We talk about the simple changes they've each made at home that ended up making a bigger difference than they expected. It's proof that you don't have to overhaul everything at once. How to decide who to listen to when the health world gets loud. With so much conflicting information online, Hunter and Jasyra share how they sort through the noise and decide which voices they trust. What to stop stressing about. They share the one thing they wish their followers would stop worrying about, plus what they're most excited about in the health world right now. Tune in now and share this one with a friend who needs to hear it. About Hunter Stoler Hunter Stoler is a New York City–based certified health coach and the creator behind @healthwithhunter. After his own health struggles, including weight gain, stubborn acne, and constant fatigue, Hunter changed his lifestyle and went from studying information science to becoming a health coach.

I feel like Heidi and I have lived parallel lives — there were so many moments in this conversation where I found myself nodding along, thinking "that's exactly how it happened for me too." We have so many similarities in our stories, and some really interesting connections along the way. I'm so grateful for her vulnerability in sharing her story with us — she's just so real and relatable. If you're looking for a little inspiration to take your next step, or you're standing at the very beginning of your own health journey, Heidi's wisdom is exactly what you need to hear. Here are a few of my biggest takeaways from our conversation: Health advice isn't the problem — the approach is. We all know we should sleep more, drink water, eat protein, and move our bodies. Heidi digs into why sleep in particular is often the first thing to go for women in midlife, and why "knowing better" so rarely translates into "doing better." "Shifts" instead of goals. Heidi's program is built around small, sustainable changes she calls "Shifts" — and she explains why this approach works so differently than a traditional goal, resolution, or restrictive fitness plan. Self-forgiveness over self-judgment. Instead of grading a habit pass/fail, Heidi teaches women to grade their efforts and extend themselves the same forgiveness they'd offer a friend. It's a small mindset shift that changes how sustainable change actually feels. Identity change comes before behavior change. Heidi walks through what happens when a woman moves from "I need to exercise" to "I'm someone who takes care of her body" — including her recent thinking on happiness itself as a habit you can build. Community changes everything. Heidi shares why building and sticking with new habits is so much easier when you're not doing it alone, and how community becomes one of the biggest predictors of lasting change. Tune in now and share this one with a friend who needs to hear it. About Heidi Heidi Swapp is a creative entrepreneur, designer, author, and storyteller who has spent more than 25 years inspiring women to embrace creativity and tell their stories. Through @heidiswapp, she continues to share her passion for creativity, connection, and living a meaningful life. Now, Heidi is bringing that same curiosity and energy to women’s health and longevity. Through @joinshiftcollective, she is passionate about helping women in midlife see their future differently—not as a time to slow down, but as an opportunity to feel stronger, healthier, and more alive. Heidi’s philosophy is simple: lasting change happens through small “shifts.” She now works privately with women, helping them make realistic changes in their daily habits, mindset, movement, nutrition, and overall wellness.

Dr. Cheryl Lee Eberting is paving the way in the functional medicine world. Her focus on nutrition first and prescriptions second is a mission I really align with, and I'm so glad she's tackling this challenge head-on. I think this is going to become a powerful tool for my listeners and honestly, it's an approach I hope the rest of the medical world follows one day. If you've ever left a doctor's appointment feeling unheard or frustrated you don’t have access to the tools you need, this conversation is just for you! Here are a few keys from our discussion: "Normal" labs don't mean optimal health. Cheryl Lee breaks down why so many moms get told everything looks fine on paper while still feeling exhausted, foggy, or just "off" and why that gap is exactly what nutrition-first care is designed to close. Functional medicine doesn't have to be out of reach. Through AZOVA, she's built a way for regular families to access functional medicine doctors, labs, and ongoing monitoring without the traditional cost and access barriers. Monitoring matters more than a one-time test. Instead of a single snapshot of your health, AZOVA's ongoing monitoring piece lets you actually track how your body responds over time, and adjust from there. Supplements should be personal, not generic. Recommendations are built around each person's actual labs and needs, not a one-size-fits-all protocol. You don't have to wait to start. Cheryl Lee shares small, practical steps a mom can take this week to start moving toward nutrition-first health, even before signing up for anything. Tune in now and share this one with a friend who is looking for access to more “whole”istic wellness.  About our Guest: Dr. Cheryl Lee Eberting is a former NIH scientist, physician, and serial entrepreneur who founded AZOVA, a patented digital health platform helping people access affordable, personalized preventive care — from at-home lab testing to integrative primary care. She's been named Utah's #1 Female in Technology, an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year, and led AZOVA to be named Utah's fastest-growing company in 2023. Her mission is simple: build a healthcare system that's accessible, affordable, and actually helps people extend their healthy lifespan.

I first met Amber earlier this year at an expo, and I was completely amazed by her story. From there, I knew I had to have her on the podcast. In this episode, we get into how she built her company from the ground up, but also the beautiful role her faith has played along the way, including the story of her husband. I left this conversation feeling so uplifted and inspired, and I know you will too. Amber is doing so much good in the world, and I can't wait for you to hear her heart behind it. Here are a few of my biggest takeaways from our conversation: Period freedom is real, and it changes everything. Amber breaks down what actually shifts for a woman once she stops dreading her cycle and why that freedom is worth pursuing. Buy One Give One isn't just a giving program. Amber shares what she's witnessed firsthand on trips to give women access to safe period products, and why access impacts everything from health to education. The conversation around periods needs to change, starting at home. Amber offers real, practical guidance for moms introducing this topic to their daughters for the first time. Faith can shape how you build a business. Amber opens up about her faith journey in building her business and with her husband's story.

I've been on my non-toxic /less-toxic journey for almost 20 years now, and clothing is still one of the areas I'm just barely getting into. That's the thing about a health journey, everyone is at a different step. Maybe this episode is old news for you, or maybe it's the first time you've ever thought about what's touching your skin all day long. Wherever you're starting from, just take it one step at a time. The more we as consumers ask questions and demand better, the more this industry has to change. I loved this conversation with Hannah and everything she's doing in this space. It's such a good reminder of the power of one voice. What she's built started with her just asking questions, and now she's working to change an entire industry. Here are a few of my biggest takeaways from our conversation: Check your underwear! Hannah's research points to our undergarments — especially bras and sports bras — as some of the most important pieces to reconsider, since they sit directly against sensitive tissue for hours at a time. Sweat changes everything. When our pores open up during a workout (or just a hot day), our skin absorbs more of whatever our clothes are made of and treated with — which makes workout gear one of the first places to upgrade. Not all "certified clean" labels mean the same thing. GOTS certification actually tests the finished garment for over 100 different chemicals, which is a much higher bar than a lot of the sustainability buzzwords on clothing tags. "Natural" fabric isn't always the full story. Hannah walked us through why Tencel lyocell tends to be a cleaner process than conventional bamboo, even though both get marketed as eco-friendly. Our clothing laws haven't caught up. The regulations governing what's allowed in American clothing are decades old, which is part of why Hannah is working directly with brands, manufacturers, and even House Representatives to push for the country's first clothing safety bill. Share this with a friend looking to upgrade their closet! Bio: Hannah Dunning is a textile health advocate, founder of the world's first Clean Fashion Consulting firm, and founder of The Clean Clothing Coalition.

I love this conversation so much. At its core, it's about empowerment — education, knowing your options, and taking charge of your own health instead of waiting for someone else to hand you a plan. Dr. Jenn Simmons has spent her career cutting through mainstream noise around breast health, and I love how committed she is to creating something new instead of just accepting the way things have always been done. If you've ever felt confused or scared by the conversation around breast cancer risk, hormones, or screening, this episode will change the way you think about all of it. Here are a few of my biggest takeaways from our conversation: You need a health plan, not just a treatment plan. Conventional medicine is built to treat sickness — it's rarely built to help you build actual health. Dr. Jenn breaks down why so many women are missing this piece entirely. Mammograms miss more than you'd think. Standard mammograms miss up to 40% of breast cancers, and Dr. Jenn explains why the diagnostic difference between mammogram and non-mammogram screening isn't as clear-cut as we've been led to believe. Not every cancer cell becomes cancer. Roughly 25% of the time, cancer cells found in breast tissue never actually progress into cancer — a fact that changes how we should think about diagnosis and next steps. Screening needs to look at the whole picture. Dr. Jenn points out that similar numbers of women die from fractures as from breast cancer, yet our screening conversations rarely account for context like this. You can't make an informed decision without information. From dense breast tissue to hormone replacement therapy, Dr. Jenn walks through what women actually need to know — not just what they've been told — before making decisions about their own health. Send this to a women in your life who needs it! Bio of the guest: Dr. Jenn Simmons didn't just step away from breast cancer surgery — she walked out and sparked a revolution. As the founder of PerfeQTion™ Imaging, she's disrupting the fear, confusion, and medical dogma that have controlled women's breast health for generations. At PerfeQTion™ Imaging, she's transforming how women are screened for breast cancer with technology that's safer, smarter, and kinder to the body — no radiation, no compression, no trauma, because peace of mind shouldn't hurt. She's the author of The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer and host of the Keeping Abreast podcast, and she's on a mission to open PerfeQTion™ Imaging centers across the country and around the world — giving every woman access to safe, painless breast cancer screening, and the power to prevent a diagnosis instead of just reacting to one.

In the coming months, you're going to see some really exciting collaborations coming to Just Ingredients. We're partnering with world-class athletes who understand that when performance matters, ingredients matter — and there is no better place to start than with Amanda Anisimova. Amanda has been so open about her mental health journey, including her decision to step away from professional tennis in 2023 at the height of her career. That kind of vulnerability is rare in the professional athlete space, where the pressure to push through no matter what often runs so deep. I appreciate how honestly she talks about that season of her life, and I think this conversation is going to mean a lot to anyone who's ever felt like they needed permission to stop and take care of themselves first. This episode is coming out right before the US Open, and we are cheering Amanda on every step of the way! Here are a few of my biggest takeaways from our conversation: 1. Stepping away can be the strongest move you make. Amanda opens up about walking away from tennis in 2023 for her mental health, and what that journey looked like for her. 2. Rest looks different than we think. She shares what genuine rest looked like during her break, and the changes she made during that season that she still holds onto today. 3. Coming back on her own terms. Amanda talks about what made her feel ready to return to the court, and how she manages pressure differently now. 4. Fueling a body built for the world stage. From what "clean ingredients" means to her as a professional athlete to the routines she leans on most for training and recovery, Amanda gets real about what it actually takes behind the scenes. 5. Redefining success. She opens up about her support system, what she'd tell a young athlete, life on tour, and how her definition of success has changed since her comeback. Share this episode with your favorite tennis fan! Bio of the guest: Amanda Anisimova is a professional tennis player and one of the top-ranked women in the sport today. After stepping away from the tour in 2023 to prioritize her mental health, Amanda made a powerful return — reaching back-to-back Grand Slam finals at Wimbledon and the US Open in 2025 and climbing into the world's top 10. Known for her powerful, aggressive playing style, Amanda has become just as respected for her honesty about burnout, rest, and what it really takes to build a sustainable career at the highest level of professional sports.

This might genuinely be my favorite episode I've ever recorded! Dr. Craig Manning completely shifted how I think about stress, fear, and the stories we tell ourselves every single day. I walked away from this conversation seeing my own mind differently, and I think you will too — especially if you're a parent trying to raise kids who talk to themselves with kindness instead of criticism. Here are a few of my biggest takeaways from our conversation: Fear isn't real — we create it. Dr. Manning explained that fear doesn't exist in reality; it's something our brain manufactures. Once you understand that, you can start choosing a different response. Learning is the opposite of fear. The more we're in a state of genuine learning and curiosity, the less room fear has to take over — and chronic stress makes learning (and remembering) so much harder. Self-talk is neuroscience, not just a buzzword. We hear "self-talk" everywhere on social media, but Dr. Manning breaks down what's actually happening in the brain — and how inaccurate self-talk quietly reshapes our behavior. Discipline and self-criticism are not the same thing. One builds you up, one tears you down, and most of us have been mixing them up for years. Kids learn their self-talk from watching us. One small shift in how we speak to ourselves tonight could start rewiring how our kids talk to themselves for life. Everyone could benefit from listening to this podcast! Bio of the guest: Dr. Craig Manning is a Human Performance Consultant and bestselling author of The Fearless Mind: Five Essential Steps to Higher Performance. He's been an Adjunct Professor of Performance Psychology at Brigham Young University for over fifteen years and serves as a Mental Strength Coach for the university's athletic department. His clients include the Milwaukee Bucks, US Ski and Snowboarding teams, Red Bull High Performance, and organizations around the world.

I love episodes like this one, because they remind you that the answers we're looking for are usually simpler than we think. We talk to a lot of experts on this show, but what stood out most about this conversation with Dr. Sheila Kilbane is how practical it all is — real, everyday solutions for something so many parents deal with and rarely talk about. If your child struggles with constipation, mood swings, sleep issues, or just seems "off" and you can't quite figure out why, this episode connects the dots in a way that actually makes sense. No complicated fixes here,  just real answers, rooted in simple everyday practices.  Here are a few of my biggest takeaways from our conversation: Constipation is way more common than we think. It's not some rare issue,  it's affecting a huge number of kids and adults, often quietly. The gut and the brain are constantly talking to each other. Backed-up digestion can show up as irritability, meltdowns, anxiety, or trouble focusing, long before there's an obvious tummy complaint. Most of our serotonin is made in the gut, not the brain. Which means gut health has a direct line to how our kids actually feel, day to day. Sleep, mood, and poop are more connected than you'd guess. Restless nights and rough moods often trace back to what's happening in the gut. The warning signs aren't always digestive. Things like dark circles or skin bumps can be early gut clues most parents never learn to connect. Tune in now and share this one with a friend who needs to hear it!  About Dr. Sheila Kilbane Sheila Kilbane, MD, is a board-certified pediatrician, TEDx speaker, best-selling author, and founder of Infinite Health in Charlotte, NC. For more than two decades, she has been on the leading edge of transforming pediatric healthcare through an integrative medicine approach that addresses the root causes of eczema, asthma, allergies, and gut issues. Her book, Healthy Kids, Happy Moms, outlines her seven-step process, demonstrating that nutrition, combined with conventional medicine, offers a powerful tool to slow the epidemic of chronic illness in our children.

Noelle Pikus Pace was ranked #1 in the world in skeleton when a freak accident shattered her leg and her Olympic dream in an instant. Most people would have walked away right there. Noelle came back the very next season and won the World Championship by the largest margin in the sport's history, and years later stood on an Olympic podium with a silver medal around her neck, her husband and kids by her side. We talked through what that whole journey taught her about consistency, mindset, and taking ownership of your very next decision. If you've ever felt "stuck," waiting for the right moment to start showing up for yourself, this conversation is a must listen for you! In this episode: From #1 in the world to a shattered leg. Noelle walks through the freak accident that ended her Olympic dream in 2005 — and the season that followed, when she came back to win the World Championship by the largest margin in the sport's history. Why "stuck" is usually a waiting problem. Noelle unpacks her central belief that we stay stuck because we're waiting for life to calm down, for confidence to show up, or for someone else to change and why progress actually starts with your very next decision. What consistency is really built on. Noelle and Karalynne dig into why motivation runs out and what actually holds up when life gets busy  plus where most people go wrong when they're chasing better health or bigger goals. The Daily 3 and the 60-second rule. Two simple tools Noelle uses to turn tiny daily decisions into lasting identity change  and why she believes small moments shape us more than big goals do. Mindset on the track and at home. Noelle shares how the way she chooses to see hard situations has shaped outcomes in both her sport and her family life. Noelle also opens up about how becoming a mom changed her definition of winning.  About Noelle Pikus Pace Noelle Pikus Pace is an Olympic silver medalist, two-time World Champion, and 26-time World Cup medalist in the sport of skeleton. In 2005, ranked #1 in the world, she was struck by a runaway bobsled in a freak accident that shattered her leg and her Olympic dreams — only to come back the next season and become the first American woman to win the Skeleton World Championships, by the largest margin in the sport's history. At the 2010 Vancouver Games she competed on a sled built by her husband, finishing just shy of the podium, before returning one final time in 2014 to win Olympic silver with her husband and two children by her side; her celebration leap into the stands was named the USOPC's "Moment of the Games." Outside of sport, Noelle is a best-selling author (Focused and No Excuses), holds an MBA, and is a mother of four. She now speaks to corporate audiences around the world, helping teams and leaders turn setbacks into comebacks through focus, resilience, and intention.

This is one of the episodes that has stayed with me since we hit record. Dr. Antonio "Dr. Tony" Jimenez has spent more than 30 years in integrative oncology, and getting to sit down with him and learn about his approach to cancer care was genuinely one of the most inspiring conversations I've had on this podcast. We talked through his 7 Key Principles of Cancer Therapy, and dove deep into nutrition, detoxification, and the connection between emotions and cancer — topics I know so many of you are curious about. If you know someone walking through a cancer diagnosis or treatment right now, please send them this episode. I think it will give them hope that there are so many options out there. Note: this episode was recorded in a different setting than usual, and you may notice a few small technical differences along the way, but we think our editor worked her magic, making it almost unnoticeable! In this episode: 1. The 7 Key Principles, explained. Dr. Tony breaks down why he believes cancer can't be approached from just one angle, and introduces the framework that guides his entire practice: non-toxic therapies, immunomodulation, detoxification, restoring the microbiome, full-spectrum nutrition, oxygenation, and emotional/spiritual healing. 2. Full-Spectrum Nutrition. Karalynne and Dr. Tony talk through what "full-spectrum nutrition" actually means, common mistakes people make with food and cancer risk, and where to start if you want to eat in a way that supports your body 3. The emotional side of healing. Dr. Tony shares what he's observed in patients who do the inner emotional work, and what he tells someone who's just been diagnosed and might be scared for the road ahead. 4. Light, sound, and hope. Dr. Tony explains the light and sound therapies he's worked with for over two decades Dr. Antonio Jimenez, M.D., N.D., is the Founder and Chief Medical Officer of the Hope4Cancer Treatment Centers, with locations in Tijuana and Cancun, Mexico. For more than 30 years, Dr. Jimenez has focused his work on the study, clinical research, and implementation of integrative strategies related to cancer, chronic infections, and immune disorders. Known to his patients and colleagues as "Dr. Tony," he developed the 7 Key Principles of Cancer Therapy®, the framework detailed in his book Hope for Cancer: 7 Principles to Remove Fear and Empower Your Healing Journey. Dr. Jimenez and Hope4Cancer were featured in the Truth About Cancer docuseries, watched by millions worldwide, and he received the organization's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016. He is also featured in the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) docuseries. His latest book is Cancer Outsmarted: 11 Integrative Hallmarks of Cancer to Minimize Risk and Optimize Health.

This one has been two years in the making. I sit down with Ricardo and Halie, the husband-and-wife team behind Mico's Micro Farm, to finally tell the full story of how Just Ingredients' new microgreens drink came to life. What started as their own family's search for healing and health turned into a farm, a friendship, and now a greens drink flavored with only real food. In this episode, Ricardo and Halie on to walk through the whole journey: the health scare that started it all, what it really takes to grow microgreens the right way, why heavy metals are such a big deal in this category, and what it took to scale a small farm up to something that could supply this product. If you've been waiting for this drink, you're going to want to hear the story behind it before you try your first sip. In this episode: From family struggle to farm. Ricardo and Halie share how watching one of their kids struggle with their health pushed them to search for answers, and how that search turned into Mico's Micro Farm. The connection. Long before this greens drink idea came to be existed, Ricardo was personally delivering microgreens to Karalynne. Hear how that relationship grew into a 2+ year journey to bring this product to life. Why growing environment matters. Ricardo and Halie break down what makes their growing process different from typical produce farming, and why soil quality has such a direct impact on the nutrition and safety of what ends up in your kitchen. The heavy metal problem in greens powders. Not all greens powders are created equal. They explain why heavy metals are such a common concern in this category, and what their process does differently to address it. Scaling without losing quality. Going from local deliveries to a national product isn't simple. Ricardo and Halie talk through the unexpected hurdles of scaling up, and what they're most proud of in the quality they've maintained along the way. The Just Ingredients Difference. We talk about the many ways that this new drink is unique to any other greens on the market. We are so excited to get this microgreens drink into your hands. About Ricardo & Halie: Ricardo and Halie are the co-founders of Mico's Micro Farm. They started this after watching one of their kids struggle with their health and realizing how hard it was to find food they could actually trust to nourish them. Together they grow microgreens and turn them into powders and wellness blends that make real nutrition simple to add to your day. What began as their family's search for better food now supplies fresh product and ingredient-grade powders to brands they believe in, including the microgreens powder behind Just Ingredients' own products.

Are you wondering if fasting will actually work for you, or why it hasn't worked the way you hoped? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Daniel Pompa, a leading expert on cellular health and fasting, who shares the personal health crisis that first sent him down this path. He breaks down why fasting is doing something so much deeper in the body than most of us realize, and why it isn't a one-size-fits-all approach — especially for women. Here are a few of my biggest takeaways from our conversation: 1. Fasting is about a lot more than weight lossDr. Pompa breaks down what's actually happening on a cellular level when we fast — and why the number on the scale is really just a side effect of something much bigger. We also get into autophagy: what it is, when it kicks in, and how the body uses fasting to clear out old, damaged cells to make room for new ones. 2. Why eating less all day can actually backfireThis one might surprise you. Dr. Pompa explains why "grazing" and constantly under-eating can send the body into a stress response that actually works against fat loss and detox — the opposite of what so many of us have been taught. 3. Fasting as a form of detox We talk about how fasting helps the body release stored toxins as it burns fat, what "detoxing the cell" really means, and why your body won't prioritize burning fat or detoxing if it doesn't feel safe first. 4. Finding the right fasting approach for youFrom feast-famine cycles to block fasting to partial fasting, Dr. Pompa lays out the different protocols and who each one is actually for, plus the practical, real-life stuff: what breaks a fast, how to ease into it, and how to fit fasting into a life that includes kids, travel, and busy seasons. This episode is a must-listen if you've ever felt confused, discouraged, or even a little afraid of fasting. My hope is it helps you feel more confident about whether, and how, fasting fits into your own health journey. About Dr. Daniel Pompa:Dr. Daniel Pompa is a respected leader in the health and wellness space, educating practitioners and the public on the origins of inflammation-driven disease and the therapeutic applications of diet variation, fasting, cellular healing, and detoxification. Although trained as a chiropractor, his authority is rooted in his own battle, having overcome neurotoxic illness and heavy metal poisoning using his own unique cellular detoxification strategies. Dr. Pompa's journey back to health led him to a voracious passion for research and learning beyond what is often readily understood. A relentless self-experimenter with a passion for healing others, he speaks about removing the cause of illness and inflammation, going upstream, and following a multi-therapeutic approach to achieve healing. Dr. Pompa and his wife, Merily, live in Park City, Utah, with their 3 dogs and 2 cats. Their 5 grown children all professionally fulfill the Pompa purpose (and promise) as well.

In this episode, I sit down with Ruston Pack, our Food Scientist and Director of Quality and Regulatory at Just Ingredients, who's spent 7 years in R&D, manufacturing, and food science, and has seen firsthand some of the wildest things that happen behind the scenes in the supplement industry. Ruston pulls back the curtain on what's actually happening inside a supplement bottle between the day it's made and the day you take it, and some of it might surprise you. Here are a few of my biggest takeaways from our conversation: Supplement labels don't work like you think We talk about the difference between a Nutrition Facts Panel and a Supplement Facts Panel, and why that distinction matters. Ruston breaks down whether the amount listed on a label is exactly what's in the product, and whether companies only have to hit that number on day one, or all the way through the expiration date.  Why supplements break down over time Light, oxygen, moisture, heat — supplements are fighting a slow battle against all of it from the moment they're manufactured. We get into why certain ingredients are especially hard to keep stable, and what you can look for as a consumer.  Gummies are the hardest format to get right If you've ever wondered why your gummy vitamins taste a little different bottle to bottle, this is why. We talk about why water is the enemy of stability, what actually happens to melatonin and other actives as gummies sit on a shelf, and why some companies use large overages to compensate. Ruston also gets into the creatine conversation, and why the gold-standard powder form gets tricky the moment it's mixed into a gummy or a drink. How to shop smarter We close out with the practical part: what to actually look for on a label, what separates a company that's cutting corners from one that's genuinely trying to do formulation right.  This one is a must-listen if you've ever tossed a supplement in your cart without a second thought. My hope is it helps you feel a little more confident reading labels and asking better questions about what you're actually giving your family. Tune in now and share this one with a friend who needs to hear it. Bio: Ruston is a chemist by education and a food scientist by profession. He has worked in multiple food and supplement co-manufacturing facilities as an R&D scientist and has extensive experience in formulation, ingredient validation, supplement facts panel verification, and batch corrections for major brands in the industry. He is deeply familiar with the ways companies use deceptive marketing, hide ingredients, and cut corners. Ruston has also studied analytical testing methods used to validate label claims and ensure product integrity. At Just Ingredients, Ruston serves as the Quality and Compliance Manager. He oversees and audits our co-manufacturers, protects product quality, and creates scientific substantiation files to ensure our supplement claims are accurate, compliant, and backed by strong research.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Anna Maria Temple for a conversation every parent needs to hear. We talk about what’s really going on beneath the surface when it comes to kids’ health—and how symptoms like eczema may be pointing to much deeper root causes. Here are a few of my biggest takeaways from our conversation: 1. Glyphosate exposure and children’s health We talk about glyphosate, a common herbicide found in many conventional foods, and why reducing exposure matters—especially for kids. Dr. Temple shares how environmental toxins like this can impact development and long-term health, including concerns around inflammation and chronic conditions. Choosing more whole, organic foods can be a simple but powerful step for families. 2. Eczema is not just a skin issue Eczema isn’t just something to manage with creams and topical treatments. It’s often a signal that something deeper is going on in the body—like inflammation, gut imbalance, or nutrient deficiencies. We discuss why it’s so important to look at the full picture, including diet and possible lab testing when symptoms persist. 3. The connection between eczema and other conditions We also talk about the patterns Dr. Temple sees in practice, including links between eczema, ADHD, and other immune-related challenges. This conversation is such an eye-opener for any parent who’s trying to better understand what their child’s body is communicating. My hope is that it helps you feel empowered to ask better questions and look deeper when something doesn’t feel right. Tune in now and share this one with a friend who needs to hear it. Bio: Dr. Ana-Maria Temple is a holistic pediatrician, eczema specialist, and founder of Integrative Health Carolinas. With more than 25 years of experience caring for children, she helps families raise kids with less medications by addressing the root causes of chronic health issues through nutrition, lifestyle, environmental awareness, and integrative medicine.

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Jared St. Clair, owner of Vitality Nutrition, to talk about the connection between cortisol, metabolism, sleep, gut health, and overall wellness. Cortisol is often called the “stress hormone,” but as Jared explains, it’s not inherently bad. In fact, healthy cortisol patterns are essential for energy, focus, and helping our bodies respond to everyday stressors. The problem arises when chronic stress disrupts those natural rhythms, leading to imbalances that can affect everything from sleep to blood sugar regulation. We also dive into the powerful relationship between sleep, cortisol, and gut health. Jared shares how even one night of poor sleep can negatively impact insulin sensitivity and why ongoing stress may contribute to issues like leaky gut and metabolic dysfunction. Finally, we discuss GLP-1 and its role in appetite regulation, blood sugar balance, and metabolic health. Before turning to medications, Jared encourages listeners to address foundational factors like stress management, sleep quality, and gut health. We also cover lifestyle strategies and nutrients that may help support healthy GLP-1 production naturally. Here are a few key takeaways from our conversation: Why cortisol is essential for health—and what happens when levels are too high or too low How chronic stress can impact metabolism, blood sugar, and overall wellness The connection between poor sleep and reduced insulin sensitivity How elevated cortisol levels may contribute to gut health challenges The role GLP-1 plays in appetite regulation and metabolic health Natural ways to support healthy GLP-1 production, including prioritizing protein intake and key nutrients like berberine and bitter melon Practical tips for improving sleep and managing stress Whether you're struggling with energy, weight management, sleep, or blood sugar balance, this conversation offers practical tools to help you better understand your body and support your long-term health. Bio: Jared St. Clair has spent his life helping people optimize their vitality through education and supplementation. He grew up behind the counter of his family's health store, started managing it at 15, and bought it from his parents at the age of 22. Thirty-plus years later, Vitality Nutrition is one of Utah's most respected independent supplement retailers. As the host of Vitality Radio Podcast and formulator of his own supplement line, including the nationally recognized Vital Five, Jared has built a reputation for translating complex health science into real, actionable answers. With well over 30 years of one-on-one experience working directly with real people, his knowledge isn't built in a lab or lifted from a textbook. It's been earned across tens of thousands of conversations with real people chasing real results. His gift is making the complex simple, so you can stop guessing and start making supplement decisions with real confidence.

In today’s episode I’m sitting down with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, and we’re taking a closer look at dental health and how it can have a much bigger impact on overall wellness than most of us are ever taught. Here are a few key takeaways from our conversation: 1. Mercury fillings and what to know: Dr. Jorgensen shares her experience and what she’s learned about silver fillings and mercury exposure. We talk about why the removal process matters and why it’s so important to only work with a dentist trained in safe protocols like SMART removal to help minimize exposure during the process. 2. Root canals and hidden infection risk: We also dive into root canals and why they’ve become a point of concern for some practitioners. Dr. Jorgensen explains how trapped or residual tissue in the tooth structure can sometimes become a source of chronic, low-grade infection. 3. Wisdom teeth removal and proper healing: Another important topic we cover is wisdom teeth extraction and how technique can influence long-term healing. Dr. Jorgensen shares what to look for in a provider and why things like proper tissue removal and supportive therapies (like ozone) can play a role in reducing complications and supporting recovery. This episode is such an important one for anyone who wants to understand the connection between dental procedures and whole-body health. Bio: Today’s guest is Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, a former traditional dentist turned holistic health pioneer, who helps exhausted, health-conscious people finally feel like themselves again—by starting where health actually begins: your cells. She’s the founder of Living Well with Dr. Michelle and author of her newly released book by the same name, which reveals how to decode your symptoms and give your body exactly what it needs to heal, thrive, and stay energized—without the fads, overwhelm, or guesswork.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with my friends Ashley and Kara for an honest, lighthearted, and powerful conversation about healing, resilience, and what it actually looks like to move through hard seasons of life. We laughed, we got vulnerable, and we talked through the real-life tools that have supported us through mental health challenges, business pressures, and everything in between. I left this conversation feeling so grateful for their openness—and I think you will too. Here are a few key takeaways from our conversation: The power of being a problem solver: One thing that really stood out is the mindset of “we’ll figure it out.” Whether it’s in business, motherhood, or personal struggles, approaching challenges with curiosity instead of panic can completely shift the outcome. There’s something powerful about not getting stuck, and instead choosing to move forward one step at a time. Healing is not one-dimensional: We talked a lot about how healing rarely comes from just one thing. It’s often a combination of supports—nutrition, movement, therapy, rest, community, and more. When we think of health as “multiple hoses on a fire,” it removes the pressure of needing one perfect solution and instead opens the door to a more holistic approach. You are not alone: Both Ashley and Kara shared parts of their mental health journeys, including seasons of depression and the long process of finding what truly helps. One of the most important reminders from this conversation is that your struggle does not define you—and there is hope, support, and help available even when it feels far away. I’m so grateful for this conversation and the reminder that healing looks different for everyone, but no one has to walk it alone. I hope this episode meets you where you are and gives you encouragement for your own journey.

In this episode, I sit down with four-time bestselling author and natural health advocate Liana Warner-Gray to hear her powerful story of healing and transformation. Liana shares how being diagnosed with early-stage cancer at just 21 became a turning point that changed everything. Raised in the Australian outback on real, whole foods, she eventually drifted into years of binge eating and processed foods—until a serious health crisis brought her back to the foundations she grew up with. She walks us through the holistic steps she took to heal, including working with a naturopath, detoxing her body, and focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods. One of the most impactful tools she shares is “Replacement Therapy,” where she recreated healthier versions of her favorite junk foods, helping her break cravings and support her healing journey. We also dive into her upcoming book The Truth About Seed Oils and talk about how industrial seed oils may contribute to inflammation, gut issues, hormonal imbalance, and chronic disease. Liana breaks down how to spot them on labels and why the type of fats we eat truly matters. Her story is a powerful reminder that healing is possible when we get back to real food and start paying attention to what’s in our everyday diet. Bio: Liana Werner-Gray is a certified nutritionist, natural food chef, and four-time best-selling author of The Earth Diet, Cancer-Free with Food, 10-Minute Recipes, and Anxiety-Free with Food. Cancer-Free with Food has a foreword by Mark Hyman MD and is one of the top 100 cancer books of all time. She founded Liana’s Organics, a supplement line for anxiety, and overcame various health issues including a golf-ball size tumor, digestive issues, chronic fatigue and parasites through nutrition, faith and believing food is medicine. After healing Liana started a blog called The Earth Diet in 2009 which went viral. Liana frequently appears on TV shows like ABC News, Fox News, KTLA and has been featured on Dr Oz, Dr’s TV and more. Born and raised in Outback Australia, Liana has been a dual citizen to America since 2010.  Connect with Liana Werner-Gray:   Instagram: lianawernergray   We love Active Skin Repair!

I’m so excited to share this conversation with you—this episode features Juanique, founder of Provo Health. We take a closer look at Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) and what so many people are still missing when it comes to chronic illness, unexplained symptoms, and underlying immune system dysfunction. Here are a few key takeaways from our conversation: 1. What CIRS actually is (and what triggers it) Juanique shares her personal story with CIRS and explains how it’s not just “mold illness.” It’s an immune system dysregulation that can be triggered by multiple stressors—viruses like COVID, environmental toxins like mold, and more. If you’re dealing with symptoms like chronic fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, or just feeling “off,” this conversation will help you better understand what might be happening underneath the surface. 2. Why proper testing matters so much One of the biggest issues with CIRS is that it’s often missed. Standard labs don’t typically look at the inflammatory markers needed for diagnosis, which means many people are left without answers. 3. Turning off the “faucets” Once you identify CIRS, the next step is finding what’s driving the inflammation—whether that’s mold exposure, chronic stress, or hidden infections. But healing doesn’t stop there. We also talk about the importance of actually repairing the body and calming the immune system through a more comprehensive approach. This episode is such an important one for anyone navigating chronic health challenges or trying to make sense of persistent symptoms that haven’t been explained elsewhere.

In this week’s episode, I’m sitting down with Becky to talk about her incredible journey through cancer, mold exposure, infertility, and adoption. Becky was diagnosed with lymphoma at just 26 years old, and she shares how that experience completely changed the way she approached her health, healing, and life moving forward. We talk about the connection between diet and chronic illness, how discovering celiac disease helped her better understand her body, and why nutrition became such a huge part of her healing journey. Becky also opens up about navigating the healthcare system, advocating for herself after misdiagnoses, and learning to trust her intuition when something didn’t feel right. Another powerful part of this conversation is Becky’s experience with hidden mold exposure and how environmental toxins were impacting her health in ways she didn’t even realize. She shares what she learned through that process and why awareness around mold and toxins matters so much. We also dive into her beautiful journey to motherhood after infertility caused by cancer treatments. Becky shares the emotional story of adopting her daughter, Violet, and how that experience brought so much purpose and joy into her life. This episode is full of hope, resilience, and encouragement for anyone walking through health challenges or searching for answers. Becky’s story is a reminder that even in the hardest seasons, healing and purpose are possible.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ben Bikman to discuss the science behind our new sports line, focusing on ketones, creatine, and endurance nutrition. We break down how these ingredients support energy production, brain function, and athletic performance—grounded in real science, not hype. 1. Ketones as an alternative fuel source Ketones are naturally produced when the body burns fat for energy. Dr. Bikman explains how they can serve as a powerful alternative fuel for the brain, especially in situations where glucose metabolism is less efficient. Exogenous ketones may help support mental clarity and steady energy without requiring a strict ketogenic diet. 2. Creatine supports both brain and body energy Creatine plays a key role in recycling ATP, the body’s primary energy currency. While commonly associated with muscle performance, it also supports cognitive function. The combination of creatine and ketones is designed to support both physical output and mental performance. 3. Dual-fuel strategy for endurance performance Our new Endurance drink combines glucose and ketones to help sustain energy during prolonged activity. This approach may help spare glycogen stores while supporting consistent performance. Additional ingredients like S7 (for nitric oxide support) and PeakO2 (for mitochondrial efficiency) are included to further support endurance and recovery. Tune in now to learn more—this episode is perfect for anyone looking to improve their health and elevate their performance. Bio: Benjamin Bikman earned his Ph.D. in Bioenergetics and was a postdoctoral fellow with the Duke-National University of Singapore in metabolic disorders. Currently, his professional focus as a scientist and professor (Brigham Young University) is to better understand the role of elevated insulin and nutrient metabolism in regulating obesity, diabetes, and dementia. In addition to his academic pursuits, Dr. Bikman is the author of "Why We Get Sick” and "How Not to Get Sick" as well as the upcoming book “The Carb Crisis”.  Exciting news!

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Itay—and we’re talking about what’s actually in the foods we’re eating every day. If you’ve ever picked up a product thinking it was a “better-for-you” option, this conversation might change the way you look at your pantry—in the best way. This isn’t about fear or perfection, it’s about becoming more aware and making more intentional choices. Here’s what we talk about: Ultra-processed foods aren’t always obvious So many foods that are marketed as “healthy” are still highly processed. Itay breaks down ingredients and helps us understand what’s really in these products—and why it matters. We talk about why I always encourage focusing on whole, real foods as much as possible. The truth about “natural flavors” Just because something says “natural flavors” doesn’t mean it’s simple or clean. Itay explains how vague that term can be and why it’s something to pay attention to when you’re reading labels. Learning to read labels without overwhelm It’s not about doing everything perfectly. It’s about starting somewhere. Itay shares how learning about ingredients completely changed his health journey, and I really think it will inspire you to start looking at labels a little differently too. My biggest takeaway: You don’t have to change everything overnight. Just start paying attention. Start asking questions. That’s where real change begins. I can’t wait for you to listen to this episode. It’s such a good one and I know you’ll walk away feeling more confident the next time you’re at the grocery store. If you loved this episode, it would mean so much if you shared it with a friend or left a review. It helps us keep bringing you these conversations each week.

I’m excited to share our latest podcast episode featuring Dane Johnson, an expert in inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis. This conversation is filled with hope, practical tools, and insight for anyone dealing with chronic illness or wanting to better support their gut health. Here are a few of my biggest takeaways: 1. You can take ownership of your healing journeyDane shares his personal story of going from being housebound and severely ill to rebuilding his health and life. A major turning point for him was stepping into the mindset of becoming the “CEO of his health.”  2. Food philosophy plays a big role in gut healingWe talk about how important it is to think intentionally about food choices. Dane encourages a “food philosophy” approach—looking at the potential impact of every food and how it’s prepared. For those with IBD, this can mean starting with softer, easier-to-digest foods and being mindful with things like raw foods and alcohol, which can be harder on an already inflamed gut. 3. Managing stress is foundational for healingStress has a profound effect on gut health and overall inflammation. Dane talks about building your “shield” against stress by identifying triggers and taking real, practical steps to support your nervous system. This isn’t just about mindset—it’s about action: creating boundaries, making adjustments where needed, and intentionally adding in things that bring calm, joy, and regulation. I really loved this conversation and the hope it brings for anyone navigating chronic illness. There is so much more potential for healing when we start addressing the root pieces. Listen now and let us know your thoughts—we love hearing how these episodes resonate with you.

In this episode, I’m excited to bring you my conversation with Dr. Porter, an expert in peptides and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). This is an eye-opening discussion, especially if you’ve been dealing with things like fatigue, brain fog, or just not feeling like yourself and haven’t been able to find clear answers. We talk about CIRS and how it comes back to chronic inflammation in the body. Dr. Porter explains how so many common symptoms we experience are actually connected to this ongoing inflammatory response and how our immune system, gut health, and overall wellness are all deeply linked. We also dive into peptides—what they are and how they work as signaling molecules in the body. I loved how he broke this down in a simple way. Peptides basically help cells communicate and regulate different functions in the body.  And something I really appreciated from this conversation is Dr. Porter’s reminder that foundations matter most. Before anything else, we have to focus on the basics—eating an anti-inflammatory diet, managing stress, and prioritizing good sleep. Peptides can be supportive, but they’re not a replacement for those core lifestyle pieces. I think you’re really going to love this episode. It’s practical, empowering, and gives a new way to look at chronic health challenges. Let me know what you think after you listen. Bio: Stuart B. Porter, D.O. is a distinguished leader in functional medicine and regenerative therapies. He is board certified in Family Medicine and a Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians. A graduate of Brigham Young University (B.S., Design Engineering, 1984) and Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O., 1988, graduating first in his class), Dr. Porter went on to complete his Family Medicine Residency at Madigan Army Medical Center in 1993. From 2003 to 2021, he served as Regional Dean for A.T. Still University’s Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in the Utah Region, mentoring hundreds of medical students over decades of academic leadership.

I’m excited to share our latest podcast episode featuring Brooke Welsh, a women’s health nurse practitioner. This conversation is filled with insights about hormonal health that every woman (and even men!) should hear. Here are a few of my biggest takeaways: Understanding Hormonal ImbalancesBrooke breaks down hormones as the chemical messengers of our bodies and explains how imbalances can show up in so many ways. Social media has made us more aware than ever of these shifts, but awareness is just the start. Brooke talks about root causes—like diet, stress, and environmental toxins —and how they impact our hormonal health. The Role of Diet in Hormone HealthShe talks about how the foods we eat affect our hormones. Brooke points out that the typical American diet is heavy in omega-6s and low in omega-3s, which can contribute to earlier puberty in girls and hormonal issues in both boys and girls. Navigating Hormonal Changes Across Life StagesFrom puberty to postpartum and beyond, Brooke shares her wisdom on how hormones shift at every stage of life. We talk about girls starting periods as early as nine years old and how nutrition can make a difference, as well as postpartum hormone changes and why it’s so important to address them instead of just “waiting it out.” Whether you’re a mom, a young woman navigating puberty, or just curious about your health, there’s something here for you. Bio: Brooke Welsh MSN, WHNP-BC is the owner and practitioner at Avail Wellness serving the greater American Fork, Lehi and surrounding areas. She has been in the medical field for over 24 years with over 16 years as a nurse practitioner. Brooke began her career in healthcare as a registered nurse working in labor and delivery, then decided to further her education by advancing to a master’s degree. She graduated from the University of Utah with her Women's Health Nurse Practitioner degree.  After graduation Brooke had the opportunity to work in reproductive endocrinology (infertility), learning under multiple highly respected and successful reproductive endocrinologists. Brooke has also had the opportunity to work in family medicine, Ob/Gyn, and medical spa throughout her career.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Paul Barattiero about hydrogen water—what it really is, how it works, and why it might make a difference for your health. Dr. Barattiero’s interest in hydrogen water began with a personal story: his wife struggled with thyroid issues and severe menstrual pain, but her health dramatically improved after drinking hydrogen-infused water on a cruise. That experience inspired him to explore the science behind it—and he shares what he’s learned in this episode. We cover: What Hydrogen Water Really Is: The difference between regular water (H₂O) and hydrogen-infused water, and why the gas matters. The Benefits for Gut and Overall Health: How hydrogen water supports beneficial gut bacteria, mood, energy, sleep, and even cognitive function. Real-Life Applications: Stories of people experiencing improvements in digestive issues, inflammation, ADHD, depression, and more. Spotting Gimmicks vs. Real Benefits: How to identify hydrogen water products that actually work. If you’ve ever wondered if your water could do more for you—or are looking for natural ways to support your gut, mood, and overall well-being—this episode is for you! Bio: Dr. Paul Barattiero is a pioneering advocate for molecular hydrogen therapy with over two decades of experience in the health and wellness industry. As the founder of Echo Water, he has also held C-level executive positions at prominent wellness companies. His career is marked by a commitment to advancing the benefits of hydrogen therapy and holistic health solutions.  His journey into hydrogen therapy was deeply personal, driven by his desire to alleviate the severe gynecological issues and debilitating anemia his wife suffered from during the first ten years of their marriage. In his research, Paul discovered the potential of hydrogen water to address health issues similar to those his wife was facing. After she began consuming hydrogen water, her health improved dramatically, including a full resolution of her anemia condition.  Inspired by these results, Paul created the Echo Water Hydrogen System designed to harness the power of hydrogen water to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation—key contributors to many chronic diseases. Echo Water now offers a range of products dedicated to supporting detoxification, cognitive function, immune health, and gut recovery.  In addition to his work with Echo Water, Paul is also the visionary behind LumaNova, a groundbreaking company focused on light therapy for wellness.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Chase from The Healing Playbook to talk about something we don’t hear about enough—your body’s power and how it impacts your ability to heal. We dive into how nutrition, emotional trauma, dental health, and even environmental factors like EMFs all play a role in your body’s energy at a cellular level. I loved his perspective that real, nutrient-dense foods actually increase your body’s power, while things like unresolved emotions, toxins, and even dental issues can drain it. We also talk about the connection between emotions and organs—like how grief affects the lungs, anger impacts the liver, and worry can disrupt digestion—and why working through emotional health is key for physical healing. The biggest takeaway: your body is designed to heal, but it needs the right support. By focusing on what you’re eating, how you’re processing emotions, and reducing everyday stressors, you can help restore your body’s natural energy and function. This episode is such a powerful reminder of how connected everything in our body really is. Bio: Dr. Chase Faldmo is a chronic illness survivor, chiropractor, author, entrepreneur & public speaker.

Here are some highlights from our conversation: Understanding Colds vs. Flu: Phil breaks down the difference between colds and the flu. Colds usually hit the sinuses and throat, with low fevers and congestion, while the flu can affect the whole body, causing high fevers, fatigue, and body aches. This is especially helpful for parents who want to know when it’s time to seek medical attention. The Power of Natural Remedies: From honey to probiotics and vitamin D, Phil shares natural ways to support your immune system.

In this episode, we explore the journey of healing, hope, and holistic wellness. I had the opportunity to sit down with David as he shared his personal story of overcoming addiction and finding purpose on the path to recovery. David opened up about the power of vulnerability and how being willing to share our struggles can help us heal. He shared that vulnerability not only supported his own recovery but also helped others feel less alone.  We also talked about the role of spirituality in recovery. David shared moments of wrestling with God and asking for guidance during some of his darkest times. His experience highlights how faith, prayer, meditation, or simply seeking meaning can provide stability and hope during challenging seasons. Another key theme was the importance of holistic health. David shared how physical health, including nutrient balance and hormonal health, can influence mental and emotional well-being. Healing isn’t just about addressing one part of life—it’s about supporting the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. This conversation is a reminder that healing is possible and that resilience, faith, and intentional self-care can make a real difference.

In this week’s episode of the Just Ingredients Podcast, I sit down with my niece, Lindsey, to talk about her healing journey after the tragic loss of her mom. This conversation is tender, honest, and full of hope. Here are a few key takeaways: It’s okay to ask for help.Lindsey shares how Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) helped her process the trauma she experienced. Grief can feel overwhelming, and seeking support is not weakness — it’s strength. Trauma can be reframed.Through ART, Lindsey was able to reprocess painful memories and shift her emotional response.

Today I’m joined by Dr. Mallorie Cracroft, an OBGYN turned functional medicine expert. We talk about perimenopause, menopause, postpartum health, hormone balance, and what’s really happening in your body during these major transitions. So many women are told that their symptoms are “normal” — but just because something is common doesn’t mean you have to suffer through it. Dr. Cracroft helps us break down what’s actually going on hormonally and how to support your body in a more holistic way. In this episode, we talk about: • The different phases of perimenopause and how to recognize the signs.• What hormone balance really means and when HRT may or may not be appropriate.• How to tell the difference between high estrogen and low estrogen symptoms — and why that distinction matters.• The role of lifestyle factors.• Annual screenings — including pap smears and mammograms — and understanding your options so you can make informed decisions.• Preconception health and important lab tests to consider before trying to conceive, so you can set yourself (and your future baby) up for the best possible start. We also touch on postpartum health — a season that is often overlooked — and why ongoing hormone and nutrient support matters long after the six-week checkup. If you’re navigating perimenopause, walking through menopause, thinking about getting pregnant, recently postpartum, or just wanting to better understand your hormones — this episode is for you. Bio: Dr. Mallorie Cracroft is a board-certified OB/GYN, integrative women’s health specialist, mom, wife, and busy woman—just like many of the women she cares for. After nearly 15 years of practicing in a traditional clinical setting, she founded Uplift For Her, a groundbreaking clinic in Salt Lake City that delivers integrated, whole-woman care. Her goal? To revolutionize what healthcare looks like for women who are tired of feeling dismissed or misdiagnosed. At Uplift For Her, Dr. Cracroft leads a collaborative team of providers, dietitians, health coaches, and mental health professionals—all working together to provide individualized support that helps driven women feel well and stay well. Her approach is bold, entrepreneurial, and deeply evidence-based, blending the best of conventional and functional medicine to get to the root of symptoms and restore true wellness. As a doctor and a woman navigating the same demands of life, Dr. Cracroft understands how hard it can be to build healthy habits while juggling everything else. But she also knows that when we don’t prioritize our health, everything else feels harder. That’s why she’s passionate about helping women understand how their bodies work and feel empowered to make the best decisions for themselves. Because when you feel your best, you can be your best.

In this episode  I sit down with Emily Stembridge — a mom-turned-lobbyist who is making waves in public health and food safety. This conversation left me inspired, and I know it will do the same for you. Emily’s story is such a beautiful reminder that you don’t need a perfect background or a political title to make a difference. You just need a heart for change and the courage to speak up. Here are a few of the biggest takeaways from our conversation: Emily shares how she went from being a stay-at-home mom to advocating for real change on Capitol Hill. With a background in public health and guidance from her father-in-law, who has been a lobbyist for decades, she found herself stepping into a role she never imagined — and now she’s helping shape policies that protect families. One of my favorite parts of this conversation was hearing just how much everyday people can influence legislation. Emily explains how simple actions like sending a text, making a phone call, or leaving a public comment truly matter. She also shares how community voices helped pass the Utah food additives bill, which works to remove harmful chemicals from school lunches.  Emily is currently working on several impactful bills, including one that would require labeling heavy metals in menstrual products and another that would create no-spray zones for pesticides around schools. This episode is such an encouragement that your voice matters more than you think. Emily’s passion for protecting families and children is contagious, and I can’t wait for you to hear her story. Bio: Emily Stembridge graduated with a degree in Public Health and is a policy advocate and lobbyist. She has tailored her work to focus on the food system, health, holding government agencies accountable, and social impact. Driven by a deep passion for root-cause health, Emily helped champion Utah’s food dye bill in 2025. Emily has expanded her efforts to the federal level and strives for policies that support long-term public health. She loves empowering everyday people to engage with policy to drive meaningful and lasting change.  Emily was raised in a health-conscious family that questioned the status quo, did their own research, and felt inspired to use natural healing –especially through food- to heal her mother’s breast cancer. This has greatly influenced how Emily approaches health. After diving deep into the root cause of her perioral dermatitis over 5 years ago, Emily fell down the rabbit hole of true, holistic health. This turned into diligently swapping out many of the foods and products her family consumed, and the realization that she wanted to help reform the system that continues to allow so many toxic exposures in our everyday environment.

In this episode, I’m joined again by Dr. Jared Price, a functional medicine doctor who helps patients find the root cause of their health issues. We talk about his “four-door system,” a framework he uses to simplify healing and help people understand where their body is truly struggling instead of chasing the wrong problem. We start with the nervous system and vagal nerve regulation, and how chronic stress can keep the body stuck in fight-or-flight. Dr. Price shares simple tools like humming, breathing techniques, and understanding cortisol to support adrenal health. Next, we discuss gut health, methylation, and how B vitamins and protein play a role in energy, brain health, and hormone balance. Dr. Price also explains how stress and poor gut health can contribute to estrogen dominance. We then move into drainage and detox pathways, including the lymphatic system, kidneys, and bowel health. He explains why you should never detox unless your body can properly drain, and shares ways to support lymphatic flow through movement, magnesium, and sleep. This episode is full of simple, practical ways to understand what your body truly needs so you can start healing with clarity and confidence.

In today’s episode of the Just Ingredients Podcast, I’m joined by Heidi McKay, a certified foot zoner, to talk all about foot zoning—what it is, how it works, and why it’s helped so many people heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Heidi explains how the feet act as a map of the body, with specific zones corresponding to different organs and systems. We talk about the ancient roots of foot zoning, why it’s often misunderstood in Western medicine, and how this gentle modality has been used across cultures for thousands of years to help the body reset and restore balance. We also dive into powerful stories of healing—how foot zoning has supported people through chronic health issues, emotional blocks, grief, and even helped Heidi’s own family through some very difficult seasons. If you’ve ever been curious about foot zoning—or felt skeptical about it—I think you’ll really appreciate this thoughtful and eye-opening conversation. What we cover in this episode: How foot zoning works and why the feet reflect the entire body The science and anatomy behind foot zoning points Emotional and spiritual healing through releasing stored stress and trauma Why foot zoning can feel intense—and why that can actually be a good thing Real-life stories of transformation and healing Simple ways to try foot zoning at home, including a free app Heidi recommends Guest Bio Heidi McKay is a certified foot zoner and the founder of The Foot Zoning Method, a foot zoning certification program focused on resetting the body through the reflex points of the feet. She also created a foot zoning app to help people practice this healing modality at home. Heidi discovered foot zoning nearly a decade ago at the suggestion of a close friend while her daughter was struggling with anxiety and depression. After years of hesitation and trying many different approaches, foot zoning became a life-changing—and life-saving—tool for her daughter. Since then, Heidi has been on a mission to teach how this gentle healing modality can bring peace and alignment to the body, mind, and spirit.

In this episode, I’m joined by Ruston, food scientist at Just Ingredients, and our Director of Product Development, Lindsey, to unpack one of the most confusing and misleading parts of modern food labels: natural flavors. We break down what “natural flavors” really mean, why they’re so widely used, and how much can legally hide behind that single term. Ruston explains how these flavors are often made up of many components and why they’re designed for consistency, shelf life, and cost rather than true nutrition. We also share why Just Ingredients chooses to use real food instead, even when it makes formulation far more challenging. From failed batches and clogged machines to last-minute reformulations before launch, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to avoid shortcuts. We talk about why flavors like strawberry are especially difficult to work with, the bone broth protein journey, and why real food will never taste exactly the same batch to batch. Finally, we discuss why real ingredients matter, from preserving nutrients like polyphenols, fiber, and antioxidants to changing our relationship with food. This episode is an honest look at how food is made today, why most companies don’t do it this way, and why we believe the harder path is always worth it. Guest Bio Ruston is a chemist by education and a food scientist by profession. He has worked in multiple food and supplement co-manufacturing facilities as an R&D scientist and has extensive experience in formulation, ingredient validation, supplement facts panel verification, and batch corrections for major brands in the industry. He is deeply familiar with the ways companies use deceptive marketing, hide ingredients, and cut corners. Ruston has also studied analytical testing methods used to validate label claims and ensure product integrity. At Just Ingredients, Ruston serves as the Quality and Compliance Manager. He oversees and audits our co-manufacturers, protects product quality, and creates scientific substantiation files to ensure our supplement claims are accurate, compliant, and backed by strong research.

In this episode, I’m welcoming back Dr. Ben Bikman, a leading expert in metabolic health, to break down insulin, glucose, and what’s really driving insulin resistance and so many chronic health issues today. We dive into the growing popularity of continuous glucose monitors and why glucose spikes are often just a signal, not the root problem. Dr. Bikman explains insulin’s role in a way that finally makes sense—describing insulin as the “hero” that helps move glucose into our cells. We unpack how insulin resistance develops, why insulin levels can stay chronically high, and how this state is linked to weight gain, inflammation, and long-term metabolic dysfunction. We also discuss common contributors to insulin resistance, including stress, inflammation, poor sleep, and modern eating patterns. Dr. Bikman explains why focusing solely on calories often misses the bigger picture and why improving insulin sensitivity is key for sustainable metabolic health. We talk through carbohydrates, mixing macros, and how different foods impact insulin differently. One of my favorite parts of this conversation is our discussion around fasting—especially how it can affect women differently than men. Dr. Bikman shares practical guidance for women on how to approach fasting in a way that supports hormones, including how different phases of the menstrual cycle may call for different strategies. His biggest reminder: listen to your body instead of following rigid rules. This episode is packed with eye-opening insights and practical takeaways for anyone who wants a clearer understanding of insulin, glucose, and how to support long-term wellness. Guest Bio Dr. Benjamin Bikman earned his Ph.D. in Bioenergetics and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Duke–National University of Singapore, focusing on metabolic disorders. He is currently a scientist and professor at Brigham Young University, where his research centers on the role of elevated insulin and nutrient metabolism in obesity, diabetes, and dementia.

In today’s episode, Dr. Cabral and I discuss inflammation, omega-3s, and how they impact our overall health. Here are three key takeaways that you won't want to miss.  The Importance of Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratio: Did you know that the typical American diet has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of about 18:1? This imbalance can lead to chronic inflammation, which is linked to various health issues, including heart disease and autoimmune disorders. Dr. Cabral emphasizes that ideally, we should aim for a ratio of 3:1 or even 5:1. He shares practical tips on how to incorporate more omega-3-rich foods like wild fish, chia seeds, and flax seeds into our diets to help achieve this balance.  Inflammation as a Root Cause: Inflammation is often misunderstood. While it plays a crucial role in healing, chronic inflammation can lead to a host of health problems, including migraines, anxiety, and hormonal imbalances. Dr. Cabral explains how identifying the root causes of inflammation—such as food sensitivities or gut health issues—can lead to effective solutions. The Power of Nutritional Supplements: We also discuss the significance of key nutrients like omega-3s, vitamin D, and magnesium in managing inflammation and supporting overall health. Dr. Cabral highlights that many people may not be getting enough of these essential nutrients from their diets alone, especially if they aren't consuming fish regularly. This episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice that can help you take charge of your health. Whether you're dealing with inflammation, looking to improve your diet, or just curious about functional medicine, you won't want to miss this conversation! Bio: Dr. Stephen Cabral, is a Board Certified Doctor of Naturopathy and founder of the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute and EquiLife. At 17 years old, Stephen Cabral was diagnosed with a life-altering illness and given no hope for recovery. Everyday, he suffered endlessly for many years.

As of this podcast release, Pluvicto is officially FDA-approved for stage 4 prostate cancer without the need for chemo first! At the time of this recording, it was not yet approved. But it is now officially approved, providing access to more people!  In today’s episode, Andy, a stage four prostate cancer patient, shares his experience undergoing three Theranostics treatments. Joining us is Lynn Hiestand, a registered nurse who has been guiding Andy through his journey. Together, we discuss what Theranostics is, how it works, and the impact it’s had on Andy’s health. Here are three takeaways:  Theranostics vs. Traditional Chemotherapy: Unlike chemotherapy, which affects both cancerous and healthy cells, Theranostics specifically targets cancer cells, reducing side effects like hair loss and nausea. This leads to a better quality of life for patients. Andy described feeling "weird" during chemotherapy but much better with Theranostics, calling it a game-changer.  Accessibility and Insurance Challenges: Insurance coverage for Theranostics varies, making access difficult for some patients. Lynn emphasizes the need for self-advocacy and exploring options, including international clinics. This discussion is crucial for those navigating cancer treatment.  The Importance of Education and Awareness: Both Andy and Lynn emphasize the need for greater awareness and education about Theranostics among healthcare professionals and patients alike. Many doctors may not be familiar with this treatment, which can lead to missed opportunities for patients seeking alternatives to traditional therapies. By sharing stories like Andy's and discussing the benefits of Theranostics, we can help spread the word and potentially save lives.

In today’s episode, Dr. Ritchey and I discuss weightlifting, muscle building, and the misconceptions that often surround them. Here are my top three takeaways from our conversation:  We debunk the myth that weight training can turn fat into muscle. Dr. Shannon explains that while you can build muscle and lose fat at the same time, they don’t convert into each other. Fat loss comes from diet, while muscle gain requires strength training and sufficient protein. This is key for achieving a "toned" look!  We talk about how many women fear becoming "bulky" from weightlifting. Dr. Shannon emphasizes that building muscle is crucial for women, especially as they age, as it supports healthy body composition and hormone regulation, including insulin sensitivity. Strength training can reduce the risk of conditions like gestational diabetes and improve overall health.  If you're a soon-to-be mom or know someone who is, this part of the episode is a must-listen! Dr. Shannon shares her insights on the benefits of strength training during pregnancy. Contrary to popular belief, lifting weights while pregnant can be incredibly beneficial, helping to maintain muscle mass and improve recovery postpartum. She provides practical advice on how to safely strength train, emphasizing the importance of exercise selection and stability.

In today’s episode, Whitney, Brandon, and I explore the hidden dangers of synthetic dyes and their impact on health—especially in children. Here are three key insights every parent and health-conscious individual should know:  Did you know synthetic dyes in processed foods can impact children's health? Whitney and Brandon share how their son's behavioral struggles improved after eliminating them. Research shows these dyes can trigger hyperactivity, irritability, and aggression—an important reminder for parents to be mindful of ingredients!  We discuss the lack of public knowledge surrounding synthetic dyes and their potential health risks. The Cawoods emphasize the importance of educating ourselves and others about the ingredients in our food. They encourage listeners to read labels and advocate for change at the local level, especially in schools.  We then dive into the differences in food regulations between the U.S. and other countries, particularly in Europe, where synthetic dyes are heavily regulated or banned. Whitney and Brandon discuss how companies often prioritize profit over health, using cheaper synthetic dyes instead of natural alternatives. This is a crucial moment for us as consumers to vote with our dollars and support brands that prioritize our health.  I encourage you all to listen to this episode and reflect on the food choices we make for ourselves and our families. Bio: After discovering their child’s sensitivity to synthetic dyes, Brandon and Whitney Cawood, parents-turned-filmmakers, embarked on a journey to uncover the hidden impacts of these additives.

In today’s episode, Rob and I discuss the connections between soil health and our personal health. Here are three key takeaways that I think you'll find interesting:  Did you know the health of our soil directly impacts our health? Rob explains how microorganisms in healthy soil are vital for nutrient exchange with plants. Prioritizing quantity in agriculture has reduced nutrient density in our food, but regenerative practices can restore its nutritional value.  Glyphosate, a widely used herbicide, is not just harmful to the environment; it also poses risks to our health. Rob discusses how glyphosate disrupts the soil microbiome, which in turn affects plant health and ultimately our gut health. With rising concerns about gut-related issues and chronic diseases, it's crucial to be aware of what we’re consuming. Choosing organic and non-GMO foods can help reduce our exposure to harmful chemicals like glyphosate.  Rob highlights the concept of "forest bathing," which involves immersing ourselves in natural environments to reap mental and physical health benefits. Studies show that just a couple of hours in nature can boost our immune system and improve our overall well-being. In a world where many of us spend over 90% of our time indoors, reconnecting with nature is more important than ever. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!

In today’s episode, Dr. Gray and I discuss all things related to eye health that I think everyone should hear. Here are my top three takeaways from our conversation:  Dr. Gray highlights that eye health is more than prescriptions, emphasizing a holistic approach with proper nutrition and lifestyle choices. Key nutrients like vitamins A, C, E, and omega-3s combat oxidative stress and inflammation, helping prevent eye diseases. Our bodies are designed to thrive without over-reliance on medication!  With rising screen time, many parents worry about its impact on their kids. Dr. Gray explains that excessive screen use can lead to myopia but balancing it with outdoor activities helps. Studies show kids who spend more time outside have slower myopia progression. So, let’s encourage outdoor play and sunlight.  Regular eye exams are crucial, even without glasses. Dr. Gray shares a story of a young girl whose eye exam detected an invasive cancer early, highlighting the importance of routine exams to catch potential issues. Bio: Dr. Collin Gray was born and raised in Lehi Utah. He attended Lehi High school where he played for the state championship soccer team in 2010.

In today’s episode, Dr. Mayer and I discuss a topic that many parents are curious about but often feel overwhelmed by: vaccines. Here are my top three takeaways from our conversation: Did you know that babies are born with their mother's immune system? Dr. Mayer explains how the innate immune system develops and adapts over time, especially through breastfeeding and exposure to the environment. This foundational knowledge is crucial for parents to understand how to support their child's health from the very beginning.  One of the most important points we discuss is the significance of informed consent when it comes to vaccinations. Dr. Mayer emphasizes that every child is unique, and the standard vaccine schedule may not be suitable for everyone. Parents should feel empowered to ask questions and do their research to assess their child's immunity before making vaccination decisions.  We touch on the challenges parents face when seeking medical advice about vaccines. Many pediatricians may not have the time or resources to provide personalized guidance, which can leave parents feeling lost. Dr. Mayer has created a national provider list to help parents find healthcare professionals who support informed consent and medical freedom. This resource can be a game-changer for families looking for guidance that aligns with their values. Bio: Dr. Ashley Mayer, NMD, is a practicing physician, taking care of families for the past 12 years. In 2014, she founded Dr. Green Mom®, a now global brand passionate about foundational healthcare for children. As a leader in the field of Vaccine Safety and Awareness education, Dr. Mayer teaches parents how to not only recognize and manage the current risk/benefit of their child’s vaccine schedule, but also how to support the child’s Neurological and Immune Systems through the vaccination process. VaccineStrategy.com launched in 2019, empowering parents to make informed vaccine decisions because the current vaccine schedule is not a one-size-fits-all for our children. Dr. Mayer has diligently kept up with a National Medical Freedom Healthcare Provider List for parents needing access to providers who believe in Medical Freedom and Informed Consent. Dr. Mayer’s true passion lies in formulating safe, natural products for Mothers, Infants, and Children. Your child’s healthcare begins in the womb, so mamas need to take care of themselves, too!

In today’s episode, Simon and I discuss health biomarkers and their significance in optimizing our health span. Here are three key takeaways that you won't want to miss:  Understanding Biomarkers: Simon explains that biomarkers are measurable health indicators that can predict chronic disease risks, like cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Monitoring them early allows proactive steps to improve health and prevent serious issues, as many chronic diseases develop silently over time.  The Importance of Blood Pressure: One of the most accessible biomarkers is blood pressure. Simon emphasizes that nearly half of the population has suboptimal blood pressure levels, which can significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Regularly monitoring your blood pressure at home can empower you to take control of your health and make necessary lifestyle changes.  Dietary Impact on Metabolic Health: We also discuss the critical role of diet in managing biomarkers like ApoB and insulin levels. Simon highlights that saturated fats can negatively impact our lipid profiles, while polyunsaturated fats can help improve them. He encourages listeners to adopt a Mediterranean-style diet, which is rich in healthy fats and has been shown to support heart health.

This model simplifies health, emphasizing the importance of meeting our cells' needs for better well-being.  Dr. Michelle connects our health to the changing seasons, explaining that our bodies have different needs at different times. Through her seasonal assessment, you can identify what your body requires, such as using seasonal foods and practices to address symptoms like water retention or coldness in winter. This approach encourages adapting health strategies based on what your body needs. Dr. Michelle advocates for a holistic approach, viewing the body as a whole rather than focusing solely on symptoms. Sharing her journey, she highlights the influence of environment, nutrition, and lifestyle on health, encouraging natural solutions and addressing root causes before turning to medications or invasive treatments.

In today’s episode, Dr. Tyna and I discuss GLP-1 peptides, their benefits, and the misconceptions surrounding them. Here are my key takeaways that I believe everyone should consider:  Personalized Dosing is Key: Dr. Tyna emphasizes the importance of individualized dosing for GLP-1 peptides, noting that a one-size-fits-all approach is ineffective. Factors like weight, metabolic health, age, and lifestyle determine the appropriate dosage, helping to mitigate side effects and enhance therapeutic benefits. It’s a reminder that healthcare should always be tailored to the individual!  The Broader Benefits Beyond Weight Loss: While GLP-1s are known for weight loss, Dr. Tyna highlights their potential in areas like neuroinflammation, cardiovascular health, and autoimmune conditions. This shift in focus encourages us to consider the holistic benefits of these peptides for overall health and wellness.  I encourage everyone to listen to this episode for a deeper understanding of GLP-1 peptides and their potential impact on health. Dr. Tyna’s insights are invaluable, and I believe they can help many navigate their health journeys more effectively.

Here are three key takeaways from our conversation that you won't want to miss: Testosterone is often seen as just a muscle-building hormone, but Lucas debunks this myth.

In today’s episode, David and I discuss pesticides, phthalates, and the impact of chemical toxins on our health, especially for our children and more. Even though DDT was banned decades ago, it’s still found in some foods like apples and strawberries. David explains that newer pesticides, like glyphosate (Roundup), are now widespread in our food supply and pose serious health risks. He highlights the importance of choosing organic options to reduce exposure to these chemicals. Phthalates, common in cosmetics and personal care products, can disrupt the endocrine system. David reveals how they may impact fertility and children’s cognitive development, stressing the need for consumers to check labels closely. Terms like “made without phthalates” can be misleading; look for “phthalate-free” instead. One of the most inspiring messages from David is that we, as consumers, have the power to drive change. By voting with our dollars and choosing organic and safer products, we can influence the market and encourage companies to prioritize our health.  This episode is filled with great information that can help us all make more informed choices for our families and ourselves. Tune in now to learn more! Bio: In order to help readers see the connection between their shopping choices and their power to influence communities, David also reports from the frontlines of global warming and politics as he shares what is happening in Cancer Alley, Louisiana, Ground Zero for climate change, environmental justice, anti plastic and antitoxic movements. In addition, never-before-seen test results are revealed for major brands like Johnsons & Johnsons, Kellogg, Tide, and Clairol, and General Mills that identify exactly which products contain dangerous ingredients. David shares the connection between beauty products, food items, and myriad consumer products as well as environmental exposures and how they can have a profound impact on babies and children’s development, adult reproductive health, cancer, gender identity, and IQ, just to name a few of the most pressing health issues parents face. David’s mission is to empower consumers with knowledge to make safer choices. As the Director of the non-profit Chemical Toxin Working Group (Healthy Living Foundation), he advocates tirelessly on behalf of consumers by bringing legal action and litigation to remove chemical toxins from products.

Here are three key takeaways that you won’t want to miss: Understanding Sleep as a Biological Process Devin shares that sleep is a natural biological process that should happen effortlessly. If you’re struggling to sleep, it’s your body’s way of signaling that something is out of balance. This could be related to stress, anxiety, or even your daily habits. Recognizing that sleep issues are often a reflection of our daytime behaviors is important for finding effective solutions. The Importance of Morning Routines Did you know that a great night’s sleep starts the moment you wake up? Devin suggests that instead of reaching for that morning coffee or diving into emails, we should prioritize hydration, sunlight, and grounding ourselves in nature. These simple actions can set the tone for a restful night. By managing our stress levels and being mindful of our morning routines, we can improve our sleep quality. Breaking the Cycle of Insomnia For those who find themselves tossing and turning at night, Devin shares a strategy: if you can’t fall asleep within 20 minutes, get out of bed and engage in a relaxing activity away from screens. Remember, it’s not about forcing sleep; it’s about creating an environment where sleep can happen naturally. This episode is filled with information that can help your relationship with sleep. Whether you’re dealing with insomnia, stress, or just want to optimize your sleep quality, this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, Dr. Fellus and I discuss brain and mind health through integrative approaches. Here are the top three takeaways: One of the key distinctions we discussed is the difference between the brain and the mind. Dr. Fellus explains that the brain is the physical part of our body, while the mind is influenced by our experiences. Knowing this difference is important for improving brain health. Dr. Fellus stresses the value of a comprehensive, integrative approach to brain health, comparing it to a toolbox with various tools like neurofeedback, nootropics, and lifestyle changes. This strategy allows us to customize our methods based on individual needs, addressing the brain's complexity. He also teaches the concept of neuroplasticity, which is the brain's remarkable ability to reorganize and adapt. Dr. Fellus shares how techniques like neurofeedback and even psychedelic therapies can help break maladaptive thought patterns, allowing for healthier connections in the brain. This means that even if someone is struggling with conditions like anxiety or OCD, there are effective ways to reshape their brain's pathways and improve their mental health.

In today’s episode, Dr. Miraglia and I discuss sleep-disordered breathing, mouth breathing, and the impact it can have on our overall health.  Dr. Miraglia highlights the detrimental effects of mouth breathing on our health. From obstructive sleep apnea to fragmented sleep cycles, mouth breathing can lead to a host of health issues, including bedwetting, anxiety, mood disorders, and even behavioral problems like ADHD.

Contrary to popular belief, Dr. Hill shares how the impact of birth control on weight gain is not a simple yes or no answer. Research shows that the effects of birth control on weight can vary depending on factors like starting weight and individual metabolism. Additionally, the pill can also affect the physicality of oneself due to the absence of the natural rise in estrogen. Dr. Hill later highlights the potential risks of putting teenagers on hormonal birth control, especially during a crucial period of brain development. The pill's impact on hormonal flexibility and oxytocin signaling could have long-term effects on mental health and attachment, raising concerns about postpartum depression and other mood disorders. This episode is a must listen as it teaches about the complex relationship between birth control and women's health.
