Episode 105: All Your Vitamin D Questions Answered!
Right now, everyone’s going gaga over Vitamin D. You’ve most likely heard about Vitamin D deficiency and COVID complications, but the truth is a whole lot is not quite certain. Given the integral role that Vitamin D plays in your immune system functioning, it makes sense. In this episode I cover topics like foods and nutrients to support Vitamin D, how to supplement, and how to know if you may be deficient. Tune in to have all of your Vitamin D questions answered!
Episode 104: Immune Health, Gut Health & Nature (including Lyme Prevention)
This episode is so relevant to everything that we’re all experiencing right now, so I decided to re-release it. Even if you’ve heard it before, I would recommend listening again - I feel like there’s a lot of really important points that need to be underscored. It’s not just what we’re doing at this time, it’s also a mindset shift. So, I go into germ theory as we all try to shift from a mindset of fear to a mindset of understanding, empowerment and control over our bodies, minds, and health.
Episode 103: All About Digestive Enzymes with Dr. Devin Houston
In this episode I have an interview with Dr. Devin Houston PHD, who is the founder and CEO of Houston Enzymes. We’re answering so many questions about enzymes, like: Is it possible to have an enzyme deficiency? How can lactose intolerance increase with age? How quickly do enzymes work? We also discuss other topics like reflux at night, the problem with food sensitivity testing, why it’s important to get a “headstart” on food breakdown, and more.
Episode 102: Your Wellness Business in the Time of Covid
There is this collective freak out happening with most small business owners about what to do with their businesses moving forward. So, I’m talking about something different - business - which is why this is a bonus episode. I’m sharing some of what’s in my head, like how to be a leader and why you need to be a leader, what NOT to do on social media, where to invest your time, and what to watch out for. I also cover how my mid-pandemic program launch went. Tune in if you’re a small business owner!
Episode 101: Intermittent Fasting Part 2
We’re continuing to dig into intermittent fasting in this episode (continued from last week) and we get into intermittent fasting as a weight loss tool, who should NOT do intermittent fasting, what fasting does to your hormones, and much more. I also answer some listener questions that came in about this particular topic.
Episode 100: Intermittent Fasting Part 1
This episode is a deep dive into metabolic health and why it’s so important. Can intermittent fasting be a therapeutic tool? What are the different ways to approach intermittent fasting? What are the pros & cons of a fat fast?
Episode 99: Mixed Bag Episode - Weight Loss, Booze, Weighing Yourself, Bloating & More
I cover so many topics in this episode that’s impossible to give it a specific title! This is actually something I recorded as a part of the Carb Compatibility Project, where I offer Q&A sessions. In this particular session there were SO many great questions that I just had to share it. There’s something in this episode for everyone and many universal topics, so tune in!
Episode 98: On Boundaries & Burnout with Audrey Holst
If you struggle with setting boundaries, and end up burnt out, this episode is for you. I’m interviewing Audrey Holt, who is the founder of the Fortitude & Flow® Process which fuses movement and mindfulness to create sustainable action. We talk about how burnout builds, why anxiety is contagious, and why it’s so hard to set boundaries.
Episode 97: Optimizing Gut Health to Optimize Your Immune Function
This episode is all about optimizing your gut health and ultimately optimizing your immune function. This is a time in everyone’s lives where we know we want a strong and healthy immune system, but may not be sure how. What’s more - this is a perfect environment for ‘quarantine snacking’ and emotional eating, which may not be the best for our gut microbiome.. especially if you’re not sure what foods to eat + avoid! I cover all of this and much more, so have a listen if this sounds like you.
Episode 96: Breathwork for Resiliency with Robert van der Heyden
"The whole goal of this, besides inoculating your immune system & helping you transition from a fight-or-flight state to a more relaxed state, is you’re creating space for yourself.”
Robert van der Heyden is a resilience coach and he helps people to create more energy, better habits, and become resilient through movement, recovery training, and primarily breathwork. Tune in as we discuss why all stress isn’t bad, cultivating more presence, and how to create resiliency with a daily practice.
Episode 95: COVID-19 & Autoimmunity Mini-sode
In this ‘mini-sode’ at the start of the pandemic, there is a LOT of information flying around. For some who are looking for information, I’m covering auto-immunity with COVID - are you at a greater risk? And if so, how do you balance your immune system?
Episode 94: Fear Response & Nervous System Down-regulation
Tune in to hear why your digestive issues might be kicking up right now, pain flares & fear, how to groom your relaxation response (and why you must), practices for downregulating the nervous system during high stress times, and why extra nervous system support can help.
Episode 92: COVID-19 Plan
In today’s episode I cover why I'm disappointed with a lot of people in the health community, parts of the immune system, what does it mean to boost the immune system? (and a 4 step plan on how to do it), herbs for coronavirus infection, and what’s up with elderberry syrup? Why isn’t it safe for COVID-19?
