Discover the Anti-Aging Potential of Human Growth Hormone with Dustin Baker May 07, 2024

"Human growth hormone is the overlooked master hormone governing metabolism, recovery, skin health, sexual function, and more. Yet low levels of its direct metabolite insulin-like factor-1 (IGF-1) are linked to diseases like Parkinson's, diabetes, and erectile dysfunction.

Science is constantly searching for ways to age gracefully.

While bioidentical hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone receive considerable attention, there is one that is much lesser known: Human Growth Hormone (HGH).

Raising Our Sons to Become Divine Masculine Men with Dr. Elia Gourgouris and Ryan Grover Mar 05, 2024

“The best way to raise resilient children is to be the safe space where they can express every emotion freely, knowing they are loved no matter what.”

Do you dread the day your bubbly boy stops expressing his feelings?

Unfortunately, society often pressures boys to adhere to rigid rules of masculinity - suppress emotions and avoid sensitivity. This promotes anger, anxiety, and isolation instead of authentic self-expression.

Our children deserve the chance to develop into their most wholehearted selves, don't they?

What if we parented to encourage ongoing emotional openness? What if sensitivity became their superpower rather than weakness?

Joining us is Dr. Elia Gourgouris, “The Happiness Doctor” and father figure to Juanique, plus her husband Ryan Grover – two stellar models of strong yet sensitive men leading by example. In this episode, they discuss "divine masculinity" – transforming harmful norms around manliness into empathy and emotional intelligence instead. Explore practical tools to nurture healthy self-expression in our kids while modeling openness ourselves.

Let’s equip the next generation with the emotional awareness and skills they need to thrive. Tune in to Episode 4 of Season 3 today!

Sweetness Redefined: How Sweet Proteins Could Revolutionize our Relationship with Sugar with Ali Wing and Jason Ryder Oct 03, 2023

Show Summary:

“Sweet proteins are proteins; they just taste sweet like sugar. But the big difference is unlike sugar and alternative sweeteners, they don't spike your blood sugar and don’t give you gut microbiome issues.”

Imagine a world where you can enjoy the sweetness of food without worrying about the harmful effects of sugar. It may sound too good to be true, but today, we're diving into a groundbreaking solution that has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach sweetness.

Joining us on the podcast today are Jason Ryder, CTO, co-founder, and brilliant biochemical engineer, and Ali Wing, the visionary CEO of Oobli, a pioneering food technology company. Together, they aim to redefine sweetness and transform the food and beverage industry using naturally sweet proteins.

In this episode, we explore sweet proteins, how they help bend the global curve on diabetes and obesity, and their connection to positive impacting climate change.

Indulgence doesn't have to come at the expense of your well-being. Learn how taste and health can go hand in hand by tuning in to Episode 84 of the Gutsy Health Podcast!

Sweet proteins like Brazzein from the Oubli fruit in West Africa are 500 to 2,000 times sweeter than sucrose, heat-stable, highly soluble, and require only a minuscule amount to deliver the desired sweetness.

Substituting sugar with these natural compounds can help control cravings, enhance nutritional value, and promote a feeling of fullness, offering a healthier way to enjoy sweetness.

Peel Back the Layers of Self-Sabotage and Embrace Healing From Within Aug 08, 2023

In this episode, we invite you to take a step back and reconnect with your higher self. Discover why information alone is not enough for healing, the reasons behind our self-sabotaging behaviors, and why taking a slower approach can result in a lasting recovery.

Unveiling the Hidden Impact of Root Canals on Health with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen May 30, 2023

Show Summary:

“Your health should always be top priority. If a tooth that has had a root canal is causing health issues, it might be necessary to remove the entire tooth to eliminate the infection and safeguard your well-being. While teeth can be replaced, your overall health cannot be compromised.”

For years, root canals have been viewed as a standard dental procedure aimed at preserving teeth and relieving pain. But what if there's more to them than meets the eye? Could these seemingly harmless dental procedures hold hidden dangers or elusive links to other health conditions?

Recent studies have unearthed captivating connections between root canals and systemic diseases like heart disease, autoimmune disorders, and even certain types of cancer. How does this happen? What is the underlying link between dental root canals and our overall well-being?

Join us in this engaging episode as we welcome Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, a Functional Integrative Dentist and passionate advocate for root canal removal. Together, we delve into root canal procedures, their potential impact on our bodies, and the strategies to address this issue.

Become an advocate for your own dental health. Tune in to Episode 71 of the Gutsy Health Podcast and embark on a journey of discovery!

Exceptional Highlights:

Root canals may not fully eliminate infection as bacteria and debris can persist inside tooth tubules, causing ongoing issues.
Metals, like titanium implants, can be impacted by frequencies, causing temperature increases and bone melting around them.
Long-grade dental infections weaken the immune system, leading to exhaustion in a constant battle. This can contribute to serious conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and autoimmune diseases.

Reclaiming Your Relationship with Food: Breaking Free from Diet Culture with Stephanie Dodier May 09, 2023

Show Summary:

“Trusting your body as the guide is at the heart of any non-diet approach. Become a partner to yourself and allow your body to lead the way on what to eat. As you teach your brain and body that restricted food is not the enemy, you can learn to savor food mindfully and in a truly connected way.”

For centuries, we have been conditioned to believe that our appearance defines our worth, and have been exposed to diet culture’s toxic messaging. Despite our attempts to change our eating habits, we often feel more disconnected and frustrated with our bodies.

It's no wonder we have a complicated connection with food. But can we ditch the diet mindset and embrace a healthy relationship between eating and our bodies?

Stephanie Dodier, a Clinical Nutritionist CNP, and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor joins us to share her journey with diet culture and body shaming, and how she transformed her relationship with food. In this episode, we'll explore the beauty of intuitive eating, how emotions impact our digestion, and honoring our bodies without rigid dieting.

Break free from food guilt and shame. Tune in to Episode 68 of the Gutsy Health Podcast!

Exceptional Highlights:

Diet culture has taught us that emotional eating is terrible when it is a gift from your body asking you to pay attention.
75% of women report controlling food compared to 31% of men due to the targeting of women by diet and beauty culture. The "good girl syndrome" has led to women being raised to please their environments, emotionally, mentally, and physically.
Emotions can cause discomfort and contractions in the body, particularly in people with eating disorders. Anxiety about food is often the cause of these sensations, not the food itself.

Show Highlights:

11:44 - Stephanie’s journey of years of dieting & how it led to her physical collapse at the age of 39

16:30 - The harmful impact of weight stigma & fat phobia in the medical industry

Redefining Life with Lyme Disease Mar 21, 2023

Show Summary:

"I’m not waging war against my body. Lyme is not my identity. I am not a diagnosis, and I am not a disease.”

Living with Lyme disease can be a frightening and isolating experience. It is often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and mistreated, leaving people with symptoms that can make them feel unsafe in their bodies.

Neurological symptoms such as extreme brain fog, ice pick headaches, difficulty articulating thoughts, and stinging and numbness throughout the body can cause you to question your personality and identity.

Healing Begins in the Mind: Rewiring Your Brain for Health Mar 07, 2023

Show Summary:

“Learning about my body's physiology has been empowering. I now understand how small changes in my environment and consumption can greatly impact my well-being. As a result, I don’t rely solely on experts to take control of my health.”

Illness can often feel like nothing more than a hindrance, weighing you down and disrupting your daily life. But what if it could be the catalyst for transformative healing?

We’ll explore this unconventional perspective with our guest and Gutsy Health member, Kristina Funk. Kristina had always been interested in healing the body, but after experiencing a series of stressful events, she fell into emotional eating and felt ashamed of her body.

It wasn't until experiencing severe irritable bowel syndrome that Kristina took her health seriously. Despite testing negative for parasites, she instinctively knew to do a parasite cleanse and thus began her healing journey.

In this episode, discover how changing your mindset and slowing down can lead to a more profound healing experience.

Let’s rewire your brain for health. Tune in to Episode 60 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

Illness can be the best teacher if we listen to what it's trying to tell us.
You can be safe in your body even if you feel uncomfortable, and your worth is innate.
It is not your symptoms causing you stress but the stories you create around those symptoms that cause the problem.

Show Highlights:

We subject ourselves to emotional torture when cognitive dissonance exists between our knowledge and our behaviors.

Kris Funk 6:26

By listening to the podcast, Kris approached her relationship with food and body with gentleness and compassion.

When you feel negative or go into a shame spiral, pause and recognize the inner child in you that needs love and healing.

Kris Funk 19:33

When physical symptoms arise, remember that your body is trying to tell you something, which is your cue to listen.

Instead of judging sickness as bad, view it as a signal for your body to slow down and take a break.

Kris Funk 29:16

We should stop tying our worth to productivity and remind ourselves that it’s okay to rest and take up space.

Shifting your internal dialogue from “I have to heal” to “I get to nurture my body” can be life-changing.

Juanique Roney 44:14

The body is capable of healing, so we no longer have to identify as sick anymore.

You are the expert of your own body.

Juanique Roney 55:18

Learning to tap into your internal source and power is possible, yet a supportive community that understands and reinforces this power can be precious.

Anyone can contract parasites in various ways, including exposure to contaminated water, soil, or food.

Juanique Roney 09:33

Juanique shares her story growing up with 15 pets, swimming in lakes, and not washing produce properly, which could all be ways to contract parasites.

Parasites can be grouped into three types: ticks and lice, roundworms and flatworms, and protozoan parasites.

Juanique Roney 20:55

Several of these can cause diarrhea, IBS, IBD, Crohn's disease, autoimmune dysfunction, and liver or gallbladder issues.

Digestive issues are a common sign of hosting parasites, but symptoms can also include anxiety, brain fog, lethargy, eczema, teeth grinding, anemia, and hormonal imbalances.

Juanique Roney 27:31

A parasite cleanse might be worth considering for people who have tried various remedies, including dietary changes and supplements.

Tapping Into Our Body’s Wisdom Through Medical Intuition Feb 21, 2023

Show Summary:

“I grew a benign tumor, but instead of surgery, I tried to visualize healing it with my mind. In two weeks, the tumor shrank by half, surprising my doctor and teaching me about the mind-body connection.”

There is no denying that science has made remarkable strides in helping us understand our bodies’ inner workings. However, despite this wealth of knowledge, we still struggle to grasp the complete picture of our health and wellness.

Missing pieces in our current healthcare system cannot be resolved by scientific knowledge, integrative functional medicine, and energy work alone. Enter medical intuition, which bridges the gap between science, heart, and soul.

We welcome Wendie Colter to the Gutsy Health Podcast, a Medical Intuitive and Founder of the Practical Path who shares her expertise on this transformative approach to healing.

We'll examine the evidence supporting this intuitive system, explore its role in healing, and discover how it can enhance all healing modalities.

Learn to harness this essential skill for optimal health. Listen to Episode 58 of the Gutsy Health Podcast!
Exceptional Highlights:

Medical intuition is the art of listening to your body's wisdom. By paying attention to your physical sensations, emotions, and energy levels, you can make smarter decisions for your health.
We are all born highly intuitive and energetic beings but tend to sublimate and ignore this gift as we age.
Anyone can develop a mind-body connection by learning to tune into their own thoughts and bodily sensations.

Show Highlights:
There are different types of intuitive skill sets, but the most common for highly sensitive people is clairsentience, the ability to feel the emotions of others.
Wendie Colter 04:09

Nurses, in particular, are so clairsentient that they quickly pick up on the collective energy of the room they’re in and act on it, which can sometimes be overwhelming.

Medical intuition is not a healing modality or a medical intervention but rather a foundational skill that can be used to support all forms of medicine.
Wendie Colter 11:50

Using this skill set, individuals learn what their bodies are telling them and work in partnership with their healthcare team to create a better path to health.

Trained medical intuitive are highly skilled at accurately identifying the health problems of their patients.
Wendie Colter 39:30

Colter's study found that students who completed her Certification Program had 94% accuracy in identifying primary health problems, 98% in describing life events, and 93% in connecting life events to health problems.

Think and Advocate Your Own Way of Healing Feb 14, 2023

Show Summary:

"This should be a fundamental business lesson for everyone; No matter what people say to you or promise you when they tell you not to bring a lawyer to a contract signing, don't listen. I made that mistake, and it cost me everything. It represented my lack of self-confidence in doing this on my own and my lack of self-love and boundaries.”
Controversy is brewing in the medical industry, and it’s time we pay attention. Finally, the lies and misinformation perpetuated by the so-called "medicinal matrix" are being exposed, thanks to the bravery of a few medical professionals speaking out.
Gutsy Health Podcast is honored to welcome our guest, Dr. Jess Peatross, a former hospitalist and internal medicine physician turned certified Gerson practitioner and functional medicine expert.
Frustrated with the modern medical industry's reliance on drugs, Dr. Jess Peatross sought alternative solutions to help her patients heal at the root cause of their diseases. She shares her eventful journey, why she gave up her medical license, and how she heals others without needing pharmaceuticals.
In a world where truth can be hidden behind a veil of secrecy, it's inspiring to see individuals like Dr. Peatross stepping forward to make a difference. By bringing attention to the medical industry’s issues, she is helping create a future where people can take control of their own well-being.
Wake up to your power and innate healing ability. Join us and listen to Episode 57 of the Gutsy Health Podcast today!

Exceptional Highlights:

How stepping away from the familiar world of medicine can be daunting, yet taking on the risks of entrepreneurship offers the most potential for rewards.
California Senate Bill 276, passed in 2018, requires all children in public schools to have a total of 72 mandatory vaccine doses.
Healing is an inside job. Outsourcing power and knowledge to social media, health professionals, and pharmaceuticals will only create codependency.

Show Highlights:

The widespread over-prescription of medication, conflicts of interest with corporations, and disregard for patient well-being plague the mainstream medicinal system today.

Dr. Jess Peatross 03:51

Despite Dr. Jess’s concerns, no one else questioned the multiple cracks in the system. This led to her exiting the hospital and practicing integrative medicine and Gerson therapy instead.

Dr. Jess was given a very poignant learning opportunity to step into her full-blown power right after leaving hospital medicine.

Dr. Jess Peatross 06:19

After being lured by former pharmaceutical executives into signing away her successful supplement business venture, Dr. Jess faced two and a half years of legal battle only to lose her company.

Physicians could get their medical licenses revoked for granting childhood vaccine exemptions because of violating SB 276 and spreading misinformation.

Dr. Jess Peatross 17:50

A San Diego publication revealed the names of unvaccinated children in the San Diego Unified School System and the doctor who provided the exemption in the guise of safety.

People are flooding emergency departments because they lack information on improving their natural immunity.

Dr. Jess Peatross 30:07

Healthcare providers should advise on vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, zinc, and vitamin D, instead of solely promoting pharmaceutical drugs.

The Power of Slowing Down - Juanique Roney's Journey to Healing Feb 07, 2023

Show Summary:

"Tristan's death taught me my power. But my illness taught me to be gentle and submissive to what it actually takes to honor yourself and your boundaries. I thought I knew what ease and grace were, but the dysfunction literally disabled me so I could learn my lesson."
Losing a loved one is one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. The emotional weight of watching someone you care about fade away is excruciating and can cause a heavy toll on the body and mind.
In today's episode, we have the privilege of hearing Gutsy Health Founder, Juanique Roney, share her powerful story of overcoming adversity and reclaiming her health. A year after her husband's death, she felt as though an atomic bomb had gone off in her body, leaving her struggling with a multitude of symptoms, including those similar to Lyme disease, MCAS, Epstein-Barr syndrome, multiple sclerosis, depression, and anxiety.
Despite the harrowing nature of her situation, she refused to give up. Follow along as she pulls the curtain to her recent past and reveals her profound insights after a year of self-discovery and healing.
Draw comfort and inspiration from Juanique’s journey. Tune in to Episode 55 of the Gutsy Health Podcast!

Exceptional Highlights:

All disease begins in the gut. The microbiome plays a critical role in maintaining gut health and the rest of the body, and an imbalance can wreak havoc on the immune system.
The most self-loving thing you can do is to slow down and ground yourself.
Always seek the company of those who uplift you and remind you of your potential.

Show Highlights:

Stress influences gut health, and it is impossible to heal from a stressed state.

Juanique Roney 11:32

Despite her tireless efforts to recover, the intense mental and emotional stress manifested in physical symptoms throughout her body.

Taking a proactive approach and a different perspective on healing significantly improved her health.

Juanique Roney 20:16

Hyperbaric treatment, cryotherapy, and HOCATT (Hyperthermic Ozone and Carbonic Acid Transdermal Therapy) proved to be excellent solutions for halting the fast decline of her health.

Kambo medicine provided a powerful reminder to give her body the needed rest and care.

Juanique Roney 32:19

When the body is in service to the mind, we get disease and dysfunction. But when the body is in service to the heart and soul, we can experience health, pleasure, joy, love, excitement, and inspiration.

As women, we live with the societal pressure to conform to the masculine energy of constant achievement and forward momentum, which can be detrimental to our well-being.

Gina Worful 40:30

True feminine power comes from embracing and honoring the natural flow of life, and this can be achieved by being mindful of one's energy and seasons in work and business.

By paying attention to your body's physical sensations and emotions, you can understand what aligns with your true self.

Juanique Roney 51:19

Take a moment to breathe deeply and release any tension in your mind. Then, practice identifying what brings you contraction and expansion in your life, and make adjustments accordingly.

Sarah Williams - Her Remarkable Healing Journey Jan 31, 2023

Show Summary:

"After I finished my second liver cleanse, my eczema and acne were completely gone. My hair started growing, and my energy was back. I could get out of bed in the morning and wasn't falling asleep at one o'clock anymore. At last, I could see many significant shifts happening.”

Motherhood can be a lonely and difficult journey, especially if societal expectations bombard women about how they should look and feel. After each childbirth, one may experience extreme fatigue, postpartum depression, chronic yeast infections, thyroid dysfunction, weight gain as well as other ailments.
The harsh reality is that when most mothers seek answers for various symptoms, doctors often dismiss their health issues as normal, and worse, they are not trying hard enough to lose weight. This experience can leave desperate mamas feeling isolated and frustrated, not knowing where to seek help.
Today, our guest is Sarah Williams, one of the pioneer Gutsy Health members. She shares her life-changing journey after committing herself to the initial process of liver cleanse. Giving birth to her third child has caused her to suffer from disruptive changes to her mind and body. And after a heart-wrenching doctor's appointment, she became determined to take charge of her health.
In this episode, you'll learn how she became an expert on her body by studying how it works and paying attention to its signals. Hence, it is also essential for other moms to realize how knowing their post-birth bodies can be empowering.

A decrease of 1.5 points in the Hemoglobin A1C marker is considered significant as it indicates a substantial improvement in blood sugar control.
Parasites can change brain function, sex hormone production, and thyroid function, reducing testosterone levels in men and impairing fertility in women.

Show Highlights:

The liver plays a role in regulating blood glucose levels and processing sugar, as well as controlling the immune system.

A liver detox helps reduce symptoms such as eczema, autoimmune issues, spikes in blood glucose, and changes in eye size.

Ketamine therapy has drastically improved her relationship with her body, her perspective on weight, and overall wellness.

Aside from improving digestion and elimination, parasite cleansing has other powerful benefits.

Sarah Williams 27:28

Feel Your Way To Heal Jan 24, 2023

Show Summary:

“I became numb because it was so heavy. Yet one of the Gutsy Health coaches taught me to feel my body and process my emotions, not look and hold on to the pain as a bad thing. It was hard, but it’s now a beautiful part of me.”

Your body is your temple. And when it's functioning as expected, taking it for granted, ignoring its subtle signs for help, and altogether shoving its needs aside is a path all too easy to take. Until it gets ugly it catches your attention.
You may not know it yet but your body is doing its best to keep you alive. When you educate yourself and begin to grasp the depth of that sentence alone, you would definitely love and appreciate your body more.
Our guest, Taylor Herrera, is an expert of her own healing journey. After undergoing the ordeal of irregular cycles then two life-threatening ectopic pregnancies, she took matters into her own hands by signing up to the Gutsy Health Membership. Here she shares the amazing support of mentors and fellow members, as well as the profound realizations and breakthroughs she is longing to have for her own body.
Connect and hear what your body is telling you. Join us and listen to Episode 54 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

Ectopic pregnancy happens when the fertilized egg implants itself in one of the fallopian tubes. This is a pregnancy risk because the embryo cannot grow outside of the uterus and it causes bleeding.
Connecting with your body and trusting that it’s on your side is one of the most important mindset shifts you’ll ever make.
Emotions develop by the age of seven and this is why talking to your younger self will guide you to address unresolved issues that you had no words for at the time.

Show Highlights:

The serious agony of forming two ectopic pregnancies in a short period of time.

Taylor 10:35

From her first ectopic pregnancy, the surgeon removed her left fallopian tube and left a little horn on her right fallopian tube. So when she got pregnant again, the embryo floated up into that little horn which caused her to bleed.

Being part of the Gutsy Health Membership is the best thing that happened to her.

Taylor 19:44

If not for the losses, she wouldn’t be able to know herself and she owes her healing to the support she had inside the community.

Other takeaways from the program that she’ll bring with her forever.

Taylor 24:52

Learning different ways to cook food empowered her body to cope with the aftermath of her surgeries.

Your body just needs you to acknowledge, honor and recognize the message that it’s sending you.

Juanique 33:55

Normal tendency is to set aside, escape or get rid of negative feelings. Instead, slowing down and just going through the whole spectrum of emotions, thoughts and sensations is what your body needs to heal holistically.

Easing Menopause with Bioidentical Hormones Jan 17, 2023

Show Summary:

"About 30 years ago, a patient stomped into my office. She wanted me to pay attention because she said she was going crazy, which was a surprise. After all, this is a very successful woman who retired in her mid-40s. She was in perimenopause, so I gave her some progesterone. Three weeks later, I got a letter from her saying, 'Oh my god, I can't believe this. I'm myself again, thank you so much.' That caught my attention because this was a dramatic result. It happened with so little time."
Women who undergo midlife crises are often punctuated with the unpleasant effects of menopause. Aside from hot flashes, mood swings, sleeping disorders, body aches, muscle loss, osteoporosis, and incontinence can easily diminish their confidence and self-esteem. At the ripe age when knowledge, experience, and wisdom are supposedly at their peak, the sudden hormone shift can cause their life to fall over the cliff.
Our guest, Dr. Daved Rosensweet, M.D., is a world-renowned menopause expert. Guided by a deep sense of purpose and passion for holistic medicine, his mission is to heal and turn the tide of this planet. Specializing in women's hormones for the past 30 years.
In this episode, we shall know of the elegant benefits of bioidentical hormones in supporting the menopausal stage. Aside from easing the dreaded symptoms, women now have a choice to significantly extend and live out their gifts even past their prime years.
Be empowered from needless suffering. Listen to Episode 53 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

For about 1000 years, Chinese aristocrats replenish their hormones by collecting the pee of young men and women. Rich in metabolites, dried urine served to maintain health and youthfulness.
Premarin was the most popular and profitable hormone supplement in the US from the 1960s. Its name also comes from its origin known as pregnant mare urine.

Show Highlights:

The Women's Health Initiative study in 2002 has caused the majority of 18 million American women to miss out on the benefits of taking Premarin.

Dr. Daved Rosensweet 13:31

Horse-derived urine alone reduces the risk of breast cancer, heart attack, and stroke. But in the study, it was combined with the problematic artificial progestin. Despite the statistically insignificant 1.26 relative risk, the media sensationalized the findings that were redacted later on.

Breast cancer is rare in pregnant women, whose estrogen and progesterone are a hundred times higher compared to non-pregnant women.

Dr. Daved Rosensweet 21:23

Though high levels of estrogen and progesterone have been linked to breast cancer, as a multifactorial disease, genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors also contribute to its development.

The best time to consider bioidentical hormones is as early as possible. Women's estrogen and progesterone levels peak during their 20s, then decline.

Dr. Daved Rosensweet 30:46

Start paying attention to hormonal balance if symptoms include brain fog, irregular periods, breast tenderness, headaches, or PMS.

BioIdentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Jan 10, 2023

Show Summary:

"So my sister was diagnosed with LCIS, and there were areas of concern on her breast. The doctor recommended 'watch and wait' or mastectomy, and she was in turmoil. I asked her to take progesterone hormones, and after a month, she went back for her MRI, and the abnormal cells were undetectable."

Conventional medicine entails treating patients already in the end stages of their diseases. However, even if this is the norm, it pays to ask if there is anything we can do to correct or arrest an illness before it becomes chronic or fatal.

What if we can prevent sickness? Are there destructive lifestyle habits or seismic life shifts that are worth noting? What other factors contributed to today's results? When it comes to health, these are the underlying questions that beg for answers.

Our guest, Sharon Miller Keller, is a nurse practitioner and gives custom consultations on female hormones at Provo Health. With a long history in patient care, she gained hands-on medical experience in the Navy and later became a surgical oncology nurse for 17 years. After raising her kids, she also finished the Family Nurse Practitioner program at Gonzaga University.

In this episode, she is our in-house resource on Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. On top of real-life experiences, Sharon shares her in-depth research on why hormone supplementation could spell the health breakthrough you need.

Live life's goodness by having the right hormones. Listen to Episode 52 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

Progesterone is an anti-inflammatory hormone that protects the heart, brain, and breast from diseases like cancer. It also minimizes bleeding caused by menopause and childbirth.
Intense regular workouts are detrimental for women. During the monthly luteal phase, the sex organs receive the most resources from the body in preparation for procreation.

Show Highlights:

Traditional medicine tends to avoid hormones because of their potential to cause cancers.

Sharon 06:46

Synthetic hormones such as synthetic progesterone and conjugated equine estrogens were prevalent in the seventies. While they alleviate symptoms, they can also cause unwanted side effects.

Low levels of progesterone can affect your overall well-being.

Sharon 19:19

Symptoms of low progesterone can affect your moods and mental health, such as anxiety, depression, irritability, trouble sleeping, inflammation, painful joints, gut disturbances, and osteoporosis.

Explanation of different hormone tests and their respective pros and cons.

Sharon 27:34

The saliva test is the most expensive because it gives you the most accurate and expansive picture of your health. The more affordable serum test comes from your blood but only gives you a limited view. The DUTCH test measures a person's ability to metabolize and methylate estrogen so the body can use or dispose of it properly.

Integrative Cancer Care with Chinese Medicine Jan 03, 2023

Show Summary:

"I started working at her second ovarian cancer recurrence, and there's more metastasis. She cried and said, 'My cancer came back because I had chocolate cake at my daughter's birthday.' That was a pivotal moment in my practice, so I said, 'I think it's more important that you focus on the joy of your daughter's birthday and that you enjoyed that chocolate cake."
Confirming a cancer diagnosis can feel like a death sentence. The fear surrounding it, on top of pity and well-meaning suggestions from family and friends, adds to the confusion and stress of the situation.
That is why navigating a clear path to healing can be challenging, and finding a cancer care plan that is compassionate and humane is a breath of fresh air in nursing the patient back to vibrant health.
Our guest, Dr. Bianca Di Giulio, L.Ac., is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. Co-authoring a book on Integrative Oncology with her husband, they established two clinics in the Bay Area, California, where the medical paradigms and practices of the East and West are married for a safe, holistic and natural way of healing.
Beat the Big C with a plan. Listen to Episode 51 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

Chinese Medicine is highly individualized, where aside from herbs and nutritional advice, recommendations consider a person's habits, lifestyle, and even state of mind and emotions.

Acupuncture is a pivotal gateway toward integrative cancer care. Aside from empirical research based on 5000 years of Chinese Medicine, PubMed also has thousands of studies supporting it.

Consuming cold food, especially in the morning, is like taking a cold bomb. It inhibits the absorption and metabolism of food and fluids, which generates the powerful chi energy in the body.

Show Highlights:

Integrative is a beautiful blend of multiple principles, approaches, and therapeutics to optimize health and wellness.

Dr. Bianca Di Giulio 08:56

Western oncology requires labs, scans, and blood work to monitor tumor progression. At the same time, it’s translated into Chinese medicine principles and theories, such as asking if there's an emotional component.

Slowly developed over fifteen years, Acupuncture headlines the six-week formula of her Insight Cancer Program.

Dr. Bianca Di Giulio 29:01

By targeting specific acupuncture points in combination with chemotherapy and radiation, the synergy among those points is where the medicine is.

Chinese herbal medicine entails putting together multiple herbs that harness their synergy.

Dr. Bianca Di Giulio 35:02

Astragalus, or Huáng qí, increases the white blood cells and strengthens the immune system. Danshen breaks down the cells' fibrin barrier to synthesize and potentiate the radioactive component of chemotherapy. Cordyceps offers a protective mechanism for breast cancer patients who receive Herceptin.

Unpacking the Superfood Moringa Dec 20, 2022

Show Summary:

"Based on the scientific research of Dr. Jed Fahey, who started the Chemo Protective Institute at Johns Hopkins University, cruciferous Moringa and Broccoli share closest properties such as the NRF2 pathways and sulforaphane, which detoxifies and fights off cancer."
Moringa is the phenomenal superfood you never thought you needed. A humble yet miraculous tree found in third world countries, its leaves are the locals' secret that keeps their bodies healthy and strong.
Declared the national vegetable in the Philippines and a staple of ancient Ayurvedic medicine, it is a source of 49 vitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids, not to mention the abundant medicinal benefits of its tiny leaves and the entire tree.
Our guest, Lisa Curtis, is the CEO and Founder of Kuli Kuli Inc. She was a former Peace Corps assigned to Niger, Africa, and as a vegetarian, she survived only through the subsistence of rice and millet. Feeling terrible, she soon learned of the amazing Kuli Kuli, or what is globally known as Moringa Oleifera.
After including Moringa in her daily diet, she dramatically felt energized, and her joints hurt much less. Then, through more profound research, she knew that bringing it to America would positively impact more people and even help save the planet. As a result, they distribute 90% of their products with post-consumer recycled plastic and have planted 24 million trees in their supply chain.
Combat malnutrition and hunger in your own home through Moringa. Join us and listen to Episode 49 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

Offering a wide range of health benefits, the Moringa has high fiber, helps with satiety, weight management, blood sugar, and cholesterol control, and even lactation enhancement for breastfeeding moms.
Moringa has nine times more protein than yogurt, ten times more vitamin A than carrots, 15 times more potassium than bananas, 17 times more calcium than milk, and 25 times more iron than spinach.
Moringa is more bioavailable than Turmeric, which means that the absorption rate of its potent active ingredients is higher.

Show Highlights:

Pickers communities in the US are obsessed with Moringa because it provides everything the body needs.

Lisa Curtis 09:32

Composed of 80% water, it has more space to carry macronutrients and phytonutrients in its leaves. It's also anti-inflammation, anti-cancer, and a cruciferous vegetable.

Kuli Kuli products contain 400 to 500 milligrams of active Moringa ingredients.

Lisa Curtis 18:03

Moringa can be mixed in for lattes, oatmeal, and pancakes. Superfood shakes, peanut butter, chocolate bars, and gummies are also perfect for kids. Use the code GUTSY to get 30% off when you order.

Kale's origin as a superfood example of how it took time before it became widely accepted

Lisa Curtis 28:04

Kale was a backyard weed that Pizza Hut only purchased as a garnish or a salad bar ornament fifteen years ago. Since then, the American palate has evolved and is more open to bitter tastes due to its superior nutritional content.

The Soul and Science of Healing - Gina Worful's Story Dec 13, 2022

Show Summary:

"If there is anything we would have changed in our healing journey, before going into the body, we would have gone to the emotions and worked on the heart and soul first. Mindset includes being mindful, regulating your nervous system, processing your feelings, and connecting to your body."
As a society, we are hardwired to base our worth on our achievements. Driven daily by motivation and other people's successes, we take pride in overworking to exhaustion. Our bodies beg for pause and rest, yet we cannot sit still, even for a moment.
The mind, body, and soul are created to be connected. And if this connection is severed, like an engine out of alignment, it is only a matter of time before it conks out with weird, uncontrollable issues.
Today we feature our beloved Gutsy Podcast co-host, Gina Worful. As a certified dietitian and holder of a Master's in Human Nutrition, she narrates the story of her traumatic birth and the lifelong impact of that experience imprinted on her body.
Gina has always been obsessed with health through her mom's influence. Coming from a cheerful, tight-knit family, she even formed her identity by building a company with her sister, which, as it turns out, she would leave later.
Such fateful events led to her rock bottom, which also embarked her on an inward journey of identifying the root cause of her troubles and finally having a deeper understanding of the true meaning of wholeness to living a healthy, happy life.
More than just following and researching protocols, know first there is a soul and science of healing. Join us and listen to Episode 49 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

Birth trauma leaves an indelible imprint on a newborn's subconscious, influencing how they will live and cope with life.
Stress has become so normalized to the point of numbing us from discomforts and disconnecting our hearts and minds from our bodies.
Perceive healing as a lifelong gift where leaning into and listening to your body feels joyful and effortless.

Show Highlights:

Ask your mother about your birth to know your origin and yourself fully.
Gina Worful 6:51

As a newborn, she received 25 needles to draw blood from her tiny body, including two spinal taps where her nervous system was. Her mother cried out of pity after hearing her horrific screams, not knowing that it was her infant daughter experiencing the ordeal.

Unresolved anxieties can become physical manifestations when not recognized and treated early on.
Gina Worful 13:48

Built-up stress has desensitized her to the uncomfortable sensations her body was feeling - stiff neck, clenched jaw, tension headaches, and imbalanced hormones.

The psychology of fear and terror is why we betray our bodies.
Gina Worful 24:10

Pleasure drives the ego, and it exists on its own. If intense pain happens, it splits from the body for 'self-preservation.'

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.
Gina Worful 36:39

At the peak of her body raging against her in the form of weight gain and crazy hormones, she crossed paths with her life mentor at a San Diego conference.

Show Summary:

"Let's talk about staying healthy during the holidays. Hopefully, maintaining healthy habits is not overwhelming but fun to do. You are excited to do it for the 'future you'. So when Thanksgiving, Christmas, and work parties come by, you are bombarded with sweets and fun food. What do you do?"
The holidays have arrived. And since 'tis, the season for gatherings with family and friends, equating free-flowing food with happiness and connection seems to be automatic.

Have an ideal future self in mind to help you make healthy choices when the moment to decide arises.
Supplementing with magnesium curbs sugar cravings because of ATP production and other beneficial enzymatic activities.

Show Highlights:

Comparison of the effectiveness of the cold turkey method versus the 1% method.

Juanique 06:23

Cold turkey is usually effective when a life-threatening situation warrants immediate change. For the general majority, continuously improving in 1% increments offers less friction and stacks up over time.

Couple your healthy chores with your favorite leisure activities.

Juanique 10:29

Habits should be easy and attractive. For example, when shifting to a healthier lifestyle, look forward to pre-chopping your vegetables while simultaneously listening to an audiobook.

Overriding your body's chemistry is close to impossible.

Juanique 17:35

It's not a question of willpower. Consuming green smoothies or other nutrient-dense meals replenishes your body's nutritional deficiencies, stabilizing your energy and stopping uncontrollable cravings.

Start new traditions and involve the family in your lifestyle change

Juanique 25:32

Which celebrations serve and spark joy? Instead of sitting down all night to catch up and gorge on food, starting new traditions like creating ornaments or hosting games encourage interaction and tighten family bonds.

Biological billionaires don't count pennies when it comes to eating food.

Juanique 28:19

Biological billionaires who followed the 70/30 rule could afford to eat whatever they wanted without taking a major inflammatory hit. But for those who lived off the opposite negative 30/70 ratio, the Digestion Restoration workshop will greatly help overturn that.

Enjoy Symptom-Free Periods Now Nov 29, 2022

Show Summary:

"Women have been lied to over and over again. It's common to assume that period symptoms are normal because everybody has them. But imagine a life where you're no longer planning around your monthly cycle. You're not falling apart, your energy is consistent, and your mood is good and stable."
Most women expect a dreadful Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) every month. Nausea, cramping, and migraines are just a few symptoms that female adolescents expect, and there's no other way to deal but through pain relievers and birth control pills.
Suffering from dramatic periods as an adolescent, she is unwilling to accept conventional medicine as the final solution. Yet, without a logical explanation from her doctor, she refused to believe this was her fate.
Our guest, Dr. Annie Savage, is a naturopathic physician trained in female hormones, functional endocrinology, and bio-identical hormone therapy. For her, symptom-free periods are possible as long as the four pillars of hormone health are in place. And through her profession and TikTok presence, she continues to educate and bust myths about women's health and monthly cycles.
Enjoy life with balanced hormones. Listen to Episode 47 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

Birth control pills have health ramifications, such as higher chances of breast cancer and decreased microbiome, which is crucial for gut health.
In general, doctors are not holistic nutritionists. Their expertise lies in prescribing the drugs or medicines that help relieve a symptom.
The liver metabolizes excess estrogen as solid waste. But when bad estrogen rises due to inflammation, indigestion and constipation clog our system. This literal toxic cycle is the root cause of numerous diseases.

Show Highlights:

Hormone imbalances can cause you to feel like a different person.
Dr. Annie Savage 09:40

Prescribed birth control pills lower your testosterone, impacting your mood, libido, and energy levels.

Toxic load mostly comes from cosmetics, cleaning, and body care products.
Dr. Annie Savage 28:25

Women put on five pounds of toxins per year. Marketing pushes chemical products for the hair and face, and many forget that the skin absorbs these easily.

DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) method explained
Dr. Annie Savage 34:43

Extracting metabolites that measure estrogen forms and wastes, saliva, or urine, is ideal for hormone testing. It helps us see how much estrogen goes to the liver and the support needed for bio-identical hormones.

Mainstream medicine's lack of holistic perspective
Dr. Annie Savage 41:27

The mainstream medical system says, "Ignore your body. This drug covers up what's going on. Don't worry, and it's all good." On the flip side, functional medicine, naturopathic doctors, and holistic nutritionists focus on physiology, biochemistry, and addressing vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Resetting Your System with Cryotherapy Nov 22, 2022

Show Summary:

"Cold therapy is one of the best things you can do for vagal tone. When people are chronically in fight or flight, it gets you out of that and helps you get you into parasympathetic states again.”

Despite our earnest attempts for vitality, no one is exempt from experiencing stress, depression, inflammation and other kinds of neurological disturbances. When your body is groaning in agony and your mind is buried in a deep, dark place, you may not realize it but getting shocked to reset your system is just what you desperately need.

Weight loss can be a benefit as the body reheats itself and burns calories as a result.

Show Highlights:

Health struggles and healing protocol she prescribed to herself

Empowering Yourself After Covid-19 Nov 15, 2022

Show Summary:

"Whether you get the vaccine or natural infection from COVID, the spike protein destroys the blood vessels which causes clots that restrict oxygen flow. Numbness and systemic inflammation occur to critically-high functioning organs like your heart and brain. The immune system also produces abnormal lymphocytes, so you get deranged responses that last for months."

COVID-19 has shaken the world since 2020. Encountering medical cases that were previously unheard of, the future may seem bleak and frightening. And with the threat looming to wreck our bodies in unpredictable ways, prioritizing our overall health is of utmost importance.

Since COVID is a new virus, we are still in the early stages of understanding and having information about it. Therefore, doctors also collaborate and share data from their on-the-ground experiences so they can have an answer for every patient that struggles with weird, post-recovery symptoms.

Our guest, Dr. Elise Mecham, MD, is a plastic surgeon specializing in microvascular reconstruction for breast cancer patients. As a daughter, wife, and mom of five from Utah Valley, she wanted to ensure the health and safety of her loved ones with co-morbidities. Driven by curiosity and personal duty, she relentlessly researches about Covid during her free time.

Learn helpful insights from her as a doctor, including her private protocol and recovery experience from COVID, by listening to Episode 45 of the Gutsy Health Podcast!

Exceptional Highlights:

Healthy, normal children are at low risk for COVID because their tiny bodies cannot carry ACE receptors in their passageways and airways.
Intermittent fasting between the 14 to 16-hour mark clears spike protein due to cellular turnover.
A Utah law protects physicians from using safe, repurposed medications to treat illnesses off-label.

Show Highlights:

The medical dichotomy among doctors
Juanique 03:42

The first group of doctors ascribes to a dogmatic and authoritative science, especially from what they learned in medical school. The second group is pragmatic and unafraid to question the status quo when met with conflicting data from the ground.

The COVID-19 definition as a Coronavirus variant
Dr. Elise Mecham 19:07

As a common cold or gastrointestinal virus, the COVID-19 version has a specific spike protein responsible for causing microvascular damage to the blood vessels that turn into tiny and massive clots all over the body.

Ivermectin is a Nobel Peace Prize medication required by the World Health Organization.
Dr. Elise Mecham 51:00

Initially developed as an antiphrastic cure for river blindness, recent studies that portrayed it as dangerous used lethally high doses.

From Infertility to Becoming a Mother Nov 08, 2022

Show Summary:

"When you go on a conception journey, your husband becomes invested. I try not to get my hopes up, so I took a pregnancy test the next morning without telling him. Then I jumped on the bed and woke him up because it says, ‘We're pregnant!’”

Many couples now face the difficulty of conceiving babies. Along with the textbook PCOS symptoms, the rise in infertility issues has made it an emotionally charged topic among women who desperately need to regulate their period so they can finally get pregnant.

Exactly a year ago, a Gutsy Health member shared the breakthrough of having her period back after being on birth control for 13 years. After trying IVF and other methods with no results, she sought knowledge to heal herself and overhaul her way of life.

Our guest, Katie Vaal, is back. After inspiring listeners on how she spurred her fertility, she now shares the exact steps that she took to become a soon-to-be mom to her firstborn.

Find out more about her journey from struggling with infertility to being an expectant mother. Tune in to Episode 44 of the Gutsy Health Podcast!

Exceptional Highlights:

There are many factors that contribute to infertility such as parasitic invasion, stress, and even dehydration
Aside from the physical factors, having a healed mind is also the key to complete healing
The road to pregnancy can be arduous, but becoming healthier in the process makes it worth taking

Show Highlights:

Trying to get pregnant again after her newfound learnings

Katie 06:41

There is no single protocol nor secret, it’s an entire lifestyle adjustment that includes Core Cell Parasite cleanse, EVA Band to monitor ovulation, taking the best quality of supplements and following the unconventional advice of other fertility experts

The revolutionary bottom-up approach of Brainspotting Therapy

Katie 15:50

By identifying activation spots or ‘discomforts’ as clues, its goal is to bring someone from a state of dysregulation to regulation.

Addressing the underlying, tethered emotions of sadness and anger

Juanique 21:34

After the mindset workshops and other modalities, you become ready to repattern your brain. Processing emotions heal triggers and trauma that sever the mind-body connection.

Influential gurus and the “Yes, Please” game

The Correlation of Post-Covid Syndrome to Brain Dysfunction Nov 01, 2022

Show Summary:

"Without pharmaceuticals and surgery, we use external methods to rehab an injured brain. And I reached that point where we see semblances of post-concussion syndrome with these long COVID cases. It mimics brain injury."

Covid-19 is originally known as a respiratory disease. And since it broke out, there have been growing studies and anecdotal evidence from the ground that it also hurts the other body systems.

Experiencing its devastating effects months after her recovery, Juanique has hypothesized that Covid-19 acts like the Epstein-Barr virus, where it awakens other dormant viruses in your body. As a related result, it has caused mood disorders and absurd neurological symptoms that unaware doctors would dismiss with a prescription of antibiotics or antidepressants.

Holding a niche practice, Dr. Kenneth Oliver is a chiropractic neurologist who rehabilitates brain injuries and neurological dysfunction through external modalities such as electromagnetic impulses, radiofrequency, and low-level laser therapies. He will also shed light on the latest findings in post-Covid cases based on medical journals and his daily patient consultations.

If health has worsened since you or a loved one had Covid, you can't miss Episode 43 of the Gutsy Health Podcast!

Exceptional Highlights:

Patients with unexplainable issues tend to point to their history of being stricken with Covid, having an adverse reaction to its vaccine, or a combination of both.
Doctors have learned and are willing to share more about this destructive virus, but censorship of public information has also been challenging.
Covid causes a loss of microbiome diversity which hastens the spread of spike protein in other body systems.

Show Highlights:

PubMed is a MeSH database that provides access to medical abstracts

Dr. Oliver 08:40

After typing 'Covid AND Neurological Dysfunctions', it pulled up 5000 articles that are accessible to learn about these two topics together.

Journal finding of how Covid can critically cause nervous system dysfunction

Dr. Oliver 19:05

The biggest issue with the virus is that it destroys the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB), which leads to susceptibility to brain inflammation.

A compromised BBB can severely affect random parts of the brain

Dr: Oliver 33:06

A BBB Permeability Test identifies the exact areas of damage, which can come in various neuropsychiatric forms such as ADHD, cognitive deficits, suicidality, seizures, epilepsy, and psychosis.

The Science of Food Cravings Oct 25, 2022

Show Summary:

"Everybody wants to change. But we can’t because we are all addicts. Our drug is sugar and we have food that gives pleasure to our brain, so we can’t let go of it.”

We all desire to be healthier. And when we actually attempt to, our usual resolutions would be to cut down on anything ‘unhealthy’ that we can think of. Sipping coffee less in the morning and taking out carbs in the evening. This path becomes an uphill battle that only backfires on us.

Food addiction has always been an in-demand subject. Even though we have listened to and agreed to all the experts’ advice, we just can’t seem to get past these cravings. It’s like answering the call of nature, and we have no logical control over it.

Gutsy Health Podcast Co-host, Gina Worful, is a schooled dietitian that struggled with her own food cravings. Thanks to her experience, she is the best resource to unpack the secret of how to satisfy it while sticking to your goal of being healthy.

Satiate your cravings and know the science behind them. Listen to Episode 42 of the Gutsy Health Podcast!

Exceptional Highlights:

It’s not a question of your willpower. Cravings are a sign of imbalance that can’t be pushed away by thoughts but rather, by having the right chemistry in your body.
Stress hormones trigger the adrenaline and nervous system to be overactive and dysregulated. This induces our brain to have cravings because it’s in survival mode.
When you start learning and loving your body, it naturally comes back into alignment and in optimal health.

Show Highlights:

Fight or flight has become a baseline mode in today’s society

Juanique 07:01

Most of us are stressed yet unaware of it. Being anxious and alert all the time becomes so normalized in our modern pace, and this has contributed to our uncontrollable cravings.

The relationship of feel-good hormones to our food addictions

Gina 11:2

Sugar, carbohydrates, and salty food give us temporary serotonin and dopamine boosts. Consuming protein and other minerals sustainably satiate these cravings because it replenishes our deficiencies.

Change your palate by nipping it in the bud

Gina 16:18

Gradually eating healthier is a waste of time. Because our palates have become used to processed food, continuing to eat it would make it taste better compared to cleaner options.

Extreme dependence on food versus enjoying it in moderation

Juanique 22:11

Instead of giving up your favorite food entirely, it can still bring joy and happiness when enjoyed in bite-size pieces.

Conquering cravings likened to surfing waves

Gina 28:04

Like slow waves starting to build, it’d be better to lean forward and embrace your cravings because it helps us be attuned to our bodies so we can give them what it needs.

S2E6 - The Powerful Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Feb 08, 2022

Show Summary: "With hyperbaric oxygen therapy, it's not just about healing wounds. It gives you cellular energy to have more physical energy."

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a treatment for several severe conditions that make you breathe 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber. The pressure helps the body absorb oxygen and hyperoxygenates blood plasma, which then helps fight bacteria and promotes healing. It is a powerful yet underutilized therapy that is unknown to many.

That's why we are lucky to have with us in this episode a powerful woman with whom I share a love for HBOT. A sponsored triathlete and an ambulance EMT, she was bound for a career in law enforcement. A torn shoulder from a wrestling match paved the way for her to discover the power of HBOT by how it had helped her heal faster.

So today, Alex Williams of The Holistic Hyperbarics Wellness Clinic will discuss her advocacy for HBOT and her mission of making this therapy more accessible and affordable for those who need it, even fighting her way for funding and accreditation. Her passion for helping others through this therapy and helping them live better lives through healing is genuinely remarkable.

Tune in to our episode and find out if you may also need this kind of therapy in your healing journey. Or you can also help spread the word about it.

PROVO HEALTH PROMO FROM FEBRUARY TO MARCH- 70 USD ONLY PER TREATMENT

FLOWPRESSO AT 70 USD
HOCATT AT 70 USD

GO TO PROVOHEALTH.COM/PAGES/SERVICES AND USE THE CODE GUTSY20

Exceptional Highlights:

The one-size-fits-all Western way of thinking is no longer adequate for health care.
With HBOT, you can sleep better, make better nutritional choices, do more exercises, and have a positive cycle in life.
Your only limitation in life and healing is how much energy you have to do it.

Show Highlights:

What's the difference between hard-shell and softshell chambers?

Alex Williams 8:11

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers come in two distinct categories, a hard-shell chamber, and a soft-shell chamber. Soft-shell chambers allow you to go to 1.3 atmospheres, which is around 10 ½ to 11 feet of diving, and you can dive from 10 ½ feet to 66 feet with a hard-shell chamber. So it gives you a lot more variability depending on the patient's presentation and what they need.

What does it do to our body for those who have just heard about HBOT?

Alex Williams 11:48

You probably all have already been in a hyperbaric chamber for your listeners who are all new. It's called an airplane. We put you in a controlled space. And we increase the amount of pressure in that control space. And what that does is it takes oxygen molecules and compacts them into a more controlled space.

Tell us more about your holistic hyperbaric's expansion plans. How are you getting this to more and more people?

Alex Williams 23:48

We are manufacturing our own chambers. They'll be available next year. And we have patented technology to work inside the chamber. And so we're excited about that.

S2E5 - Sleep Sanctuary - Debunking EMF Harmonizers and Blocking Devices with Ryan Blaser (Test My Home) Feb 01, 2022

Show Summary: "Sleep is when our bodies are taking a break. It's healing. It's repairing. It's resting. It's getting you ready for the next day. "

Today, we tackle two topics for today's episode with our good friend, Ryan Blaser of Test My Home. Ryan is an electrical engineer who specializes in the health hazards of the environment. He helps people protect and reclaim their health by eliminating the dangers of EMF or Electric & Magnetic Fields from their homes and workplace.

Exposure to EMF radiation can have adverse effects on our health, such as headaches, body pains, and anxiety. Constant use of our digital devices exposes us to EMF radiation. Many people believe they protect themselves by using harmonizers to block EMF exposure. And in this episode, we find out if that belief is true or false.

We spend ⅓ of our entire lives sleeping, and we should honor this daily activity, which is an essential aspect of good health. Ryan explains what we can do to have a sleeping sanctuary to experience excellent and deep sleep daily.

Listen to our episode right now as we debunk harmonizers and share with you simple steps on how you can turn your bedroom into a sleep sanctuary.

Exceptional Highlights:

Harmonizers and EMF blocker cell phone cases don't block or mitigate EMF.
Changing the lighting in your home could change your energy.
Watching the sunrise and the sunset boosts your mitochondrial function. Our mitochondria thrive off of healthy lighting.

Show Highlights

What has been the conclusion about harmonizers?

Ryan Blaser 6:09

A lot of people do think that these devices are eliminating EMFs. And they're not. It's more of a therapeutic device.

So how do we get rid of the EMF? What are some things that we can do and not spend thousands of dollars?

Ryan Blaser 9:27

A lot of this is just about changing our habits and turning our devices off when we're not using them.

What can we do to improve our sleep quality?

Ryan Blaser 25:19

Keep all the wireless devices away from the bed, turn off your circuits at night. So basically, we should sleep in a low EMF zone in the house. The second big part of it is lighting. The blue light suppresses melatonin. Those cool white lights are the worst blue lights if we have those cool white lights. That's going to tell our brain, "Hey, it's the middle of the daytime, it's not time for sleeping!" and stop producing melatonin. And you're going to have a hard time getting to sleep.

S2E4 - Headaches & Migraines - What are the causes? Jan 25, 2022

Show Summary: "To people who are chronic headache sufferers, believe in your healing. Don't just give up hope and feel like you have to live like this."
Are you one of the many people who suffer from chronic headaches and constant migraine? They are so persistent that you accept them as a part of your life, no matter how debilitating and frustrating they are. Even your family and coworkers see it as something normal to you, and you start to believe that it will never go away.

Taking pills like candies or rubbing balms on your forehead can definitely soothe you. But it doesn't address the root cause. That's why in this episode, we help you identify the underlying causes of chronic headaches and constant migraine with Dr. Meg Mill, a functional medicine practitioner who helps people restore mental clarity and reclaim energy without drugs or injections.

Listen carefully as Dr. Meg shares actionable tips and inexpensive tools you can use to start eliminating the pain. Know what Juanique and Gina's personal experiences are and what they did to stop their headache struggles. Don't forget to share this with your loved ones who want to free themselves from the continuous discomfort of migraines.

Exceptional Highlights:

Hydration is an independent trigger for headaches.

Prioritize your sleep because there's a correlation between REM sleep and incidences of migraine.

Heavy metals like lead and cadmium found in our homes and things we use daily trigger migraines.

Show Highlights

Do antibiotics and gut flora play into headaches and migraines?

Dr. Mill 12:58

Gut flora is a factor, an independent trigger for headaches. So if you do have some dysbiosis, or different things going on, that can be something that we can dig in.

What would be some of your recommendations for getting a good night's rest for listeners who suffer from migraines?

Dr. Mill 14:12

I recommend turning off all full-spectrum lights an hour or two before bed. Try to keep your phone in another room.

Have you found any supplements to be helpful for people when they have an acute headache or migraine?

Dr. Mill 32:04

Peppermint oil can relieve an acute migraine. Magnesium is also very helpful in preventing headaches.

S2E3 - Raising Healthy Eaters with Healthy Boundaries Jan 18, 2022

Show Summary: "You can't force children to eat anything, but you can choose what foods are being put in front of them."

Teaching children how to eat healthy food is a challenge for parents of every generation. And today, we are exposed to more and more junk food, making us lose our healthy boundaries with our kids. We succumb to whatever they want to eat, which leads to long-term ramifications, like getting sick or getting different kinds of autoimmune diseases at significantly younger ages.

So today, we have Mariah Sage, a family coach who helps families set up systems that support their dynamics to create more ease and flow in the family unit. She helps families honor, navigate, and understand each other gently. Her goal is to help parents teach and train their children to make healthy food choices at the earliest age possible.

Listen to the episode and discover how to make positive changes in our kids' food approach. Let's make them understand that we come from a place of love and connection, and let's show them that we respect their choices so they can proactively participate in being healthy eaters.

SUBMIT AN ENTRY FOR THE GIVEAWAY, MECHANICS BELOW ⬇️

Exceptional highlights:

Having clear boundaries with your kids is not the same as controlling them.
Being wishy-washy about your children's food boundaries can create confusion and a lot of contention.
We can show our love & understanding to our children by educating them about their food.

Show highlights:

What are some ground rules and boundaries that you think every single family in America and worldwide should have in their family dynamics?

Mariah 7:39

The first thing I would say is to try to get away from making different meals for different people.

How can you train your child to choose healthy food?

Mariah 10:05

I think it's really important for parents to know that it takes a lot of exposure to new foods before kids are willing to try them, like them and feel comfortable with them.

What are your thoughts around boundaries with family dinners?

Mariah 17:53

It's really up to your values as a family or what feels important to you.

You can ask them to sit and spend more time together at the dinner table, then work up to it gradually, and don't try to make an expectation that your kids go from running wild to sitting still.

S2E2 - Spore Based Probiotics - Why is it superior to probiotics? Jan 11, 2022

Show summary:"If your microbiome is decimated, your immune system is blind, and that is how your immune system would attack everything."

Today's episode unpack frequently asked questions and correct the numerous misinformation about probiotics, gut health, and gut flora with our special guest Kiran Krishnan. Kiran is the co-founder and chief scientific officer of Microbiome Labs, and he is a frequent lecturer on the human microbiome at health and nutrition conferences. Kiran is a brilliant person who's like a walking dictionary. That's why we've been wanting him to be on the podcast.

Kiran shares more understanding about symbiogenesis - the forced relationship between different species because of the proximity in a given area. He explains further how microbes reside in every part of our body, especially in our gut, providing an array of benefits so we can live harmoniously.

However, the misinformation about the symbiotic relationship of these probiotics in our body brings us to something scary. As we lose microorganisms from our microbiome, we lose functionality, capability, and resilience. As a species, we are passing these down to our kids in depleted ecosystems, losing body functionality, making them sicker every generation.

Listen closely to this episode as we deep dive into the benefits of spore-based prebiotics and share this with your loved ones to help break the misinformation.

SUBMIT AN ENTRY FOR THE GIVEAWAY, MECHANICS BELOW ⬇️

Exceptional highlights:

It's really about understanding how nature functions and being smart enough to utilize it.
The immune system is the only system in your body that is continuously adapting to the environment that you're in.
Today, nine out of ten people have digestive issues, and more and more are seen in children.

Show highlights:

How did we come to know about the microbiome?

6:48 Kiran

We didn't know anything about the microbiome until only 7 or 8 years ago. Years ago, we thought we might have something like 8 or 10 species of microbes that live in our gut. Now, we know that there are 24,000 possible species that could live in our gut.

What is the link between pregnancy and probiotics and gut health?

Kiran 1:03:17

The baby's brain in utero also contains receptors and transporters for bacterial peptidoglycan. So the mom's gut bacterial byproducts are such important stimuli for the baby, the placenta. The baby's brain has receptors to find and receive these compounds. So the development of the human brain and central nervous system is dependent on bacteria.

S2E1 - Getting Through Infertility - A Gutsy Health Member's Real Life Story Jan 04, 2022

Show Summary: “If you're dealing with infertility, you probably have some form of PTSD, and you got to take care of yourself. You got to see where your triggers are.”

In this episode, we're so happy to share with you the story of Katie Vaal, a member of the Gutsy Health Program who is now on her way to being a self-healing champion. Katie had infertility and the early signs started when she was young. When she had her first period, the bleeding didn't stop, and she thought it was normal. Together with her mom, they visited an OBGYN, and the solution given to her was to go on birth control to help regulate her period.

Katie was on birth control for 13 years. And when she got married, she decided to stop it, which prevented her from having a period, resulting in no pregnancy. But her journey started to shift when she got rid of all of the endocrine disruptors; chemically-based products. Through the help of the Just Ingredients podcast & Gutsy Health Program, she started to have her first proper period. And now, we're all looking forward to her having a baby in the future.

Tune in as she tells us how she made small steps daily to change her mindset, nutrition and even create radical but healthy boundaries in her life. If you have family or friends struggling with infertility, give them hope by sharing this episode with them.

That was around Christmas time when I hit my ultimate low. That was also the time when my sister recommended your podcast. I then started listening and made external changes in our house. I stopped using products that are chemically based and switched to brands like Force of Nature.

Infertility usually starts from childhood

Juanique 16:16

We want listeners to understand that if you have infertility, your problem didn't start when you had your period. It began in childhood, like early childhood, and exposure to chemicals & inflammatory foods messed up your hormonal balances.

What is Katie’s advice to listeners?

Katie 47:15

Go slow. Don't feel like you have to know all the answers right away. Believe that everything you're learning, you have it too.

Tristin's Life Purpose-The Healing Power of Self Love Nov 03, 2021

Show Summary: “Demonstrate The Healing Power of Self Love”

It is the 100th episode of The Gutsy Health Podcast! Listen as Juanique and Gina remember Tristin's life purpose, the history of this podcast, and the most eye-opening events they had in the journey of empowering people to be their own healers. Their mission to teach you to be an expert on your own body and heal it through the power of self-love and soul connection never stops, so you get out of the vicious cycle of disease and decay.

To live by their purpose and mission, they vow to continuously grow and improve Provo Health & The Gutsy Health podcast, making it more exciting! That's why Juanique persists in bringing in more experts who'll talk about specific modalities and tools that'll make your healing journey much easier to approach.

We invite you to be with us in 2021's 100th and last episode as we prepare for a more life-changing season of the show next year. Listen until the end, and please share this with your friends and family to hear Tristin's message for his children and YOU about why you should prioritize love to have peace and acceptance.

Exceptional Highlight:

You can't heal a body you're at war with.
Ask your body what it needs instead of asking your doctor about it.
Emotional healing can resolve gut issues.

Show Highlights:

What is Tristin’s mission statement?

Juanique 4:55

Earlier this year, Tristin and I did a Find Your Purpose workshop. Tristin's purpose was so beautiful. His mission statement was, “I am here to demonstrate the healing power of self-love”. I think that's so true and beautiful because we talk about the Science, Biochemistry, and Biology of healing the physical-chemical body in this podcast &, most importantly, the healing power of self-love.

Emotions can show in your hair analysis

Juanique 31:26

When you pull the hair follicle, protein synthesis or fatty acid metabolism will show up. It can show emotions in your hair analysis. When I see emotions, I know that my client and I have to talk. I'm not a therapist, but I want to see what we can impact. With my first consult, I saw emotions come up in brain health. And I knew immediately that there was deep trauma there.

The Direction of Provo Health

Juanique 50:11

I've been talking with investors, and I want to grow Provo Health into something that I call a "Conscious Healing Clinic." I wanted to be this prototype for clinics worldwide, go up on a global level, and take healing to another level of consciousness.

I can't wait to talk about that in the next season of the podcast. We will be bringing in experts who talk about certain modalities that'll help you rewire your brain, unpack trauma and heal it in a few sessions. I want these modalities in Provo Health clinics and integrate them with nutrition and lifestyle.

Tristin’s message to his children

Tristin 1:03:30

Make love your priority and never lose sight of that. And if you do that, everything is going to be fine.

Big Fat Lies about Fats-Part 2 Sep 14, 2021

Show Summary: “Every cell in your body has fat, your nerves, and brain. Your brain is 60% fat; that's why fat is crucial for everything.”

Cholesterol is the backbone you need to make all of your sex hormones. Every cell in your body has a phospholipid membrane that is made up of fat. That's why fats are so healthy and essential. But many started to fear consuming fats because of the epidemiological research done by Ancel Keys back in the 50s and 60s that demonized fats and said people who eat high fat die younger. But sadly, epidemiological studies are unreliable.

People who take their vitamins on an empty stomach in the morning do not absorb vitamins A, D, E, and K without fats. Fat-soluble vitamins are delivered to damaged tissues in your body to heal & repair and to have healthy neural tissue and brain function. This is why lower total cholesterol is not helping your health in any way.

Listen closely to this episode to know if saturated and unsaturated fats are good for your health. Discover what high-fat foods are incredible and nutritious to your body. And please help your friends and family remove their fear of cholesterol by simply sharing this with them.

Exceptional Highlight:

When you are healing, slow down because you're a human being. The pressure that we put ourselves under is not good for our nervous systems, bodies and souls.
You have to have fats in order to absorb vitamins A, D ,E and K.
Saturated fats are very tasty. If you eat these more and eat protein more, you're going to eat less carbs..

Show Highlights:

The update on Juanique

Juanique 0:00:52

It's been a while since we've podcasted. I haven't been on Instagram a ton lately. It's been tough for me to show up. I share this because many people have been following this journey of Tristin's passing. And what my process looks like and how our family is trying to heal from it. I want people to understand and know that healing and mourning are very up and down, it comes in cycles.

Why is it so important for us to eat fat?

Gina 21:15

First of all, so much of our bodies are made up of fat. So much of our brains, our hormones, our lipid membranes, it's incredible. And I think whenever we talk about hormones; especially, we see so many people so afraid of cholesterol and the egg yolks, right? But when you look at how hormones are made, it's that initial building block. Cholesterol is the first thing that you need to make all of your sex hormones.

What happens when you eat saturated fat or unsaturated fat or trans fat?

Juanique 28:42

When you eat saturated fat or unsaturated fat, or polyunsaturated fat, these are all found in nature and foods. When you're exposed to natural fats not made by man, your body has enzymes and the ability to break those down and utilize them. When it comes to trans fats, something made in the lab, your body hasn't got any capability of breaking this down in your body. So it creates a lot of inflammation and a lot of problems.

Healing The Unhealable- Updating Childhood Beliefs That Made You Sick Aug 17, 2021

Show Summary: “Our real work is to teach our kids to trust themselves.”

Human beings develop their belief systems and formulate how they see the world primarily by seven years old. That's why our upbringing greatly influences our perspectives in different life situations. Childhood experiences play a significant role in how we view things as an adult.

Therefore, we must teach our kids and be with them as they process various emotions triggered by several events. We must show them how to trust themselves and be creative in communicating positive possibilities whenever they feel broken and sad. Be their guide and empower them with the view of curiosity so that you can train them to steer clear from limiting beliefs unconsciously.

Listen closely to this episode as Britt Lefkoe, an amazing business and personal development coach, shares multiple ways how to guide the heart and mind of a child as they grow old. Find out how she worked with Tristin and how she helped him shift his pain into happiness.

Exceptional Highlight:

Self trust comes in so many ways from the ability to see that we can figure out our own answers.
Once we trust ourselves, life becomes so much easier.
The mindset is the most important part of your healing.

Know more about Britt Lefkoe’s program:

Healing the Unhealable

This four part course will teach you the keys to unlocking your own health, so you are empowered to release your mind's attachment to being sick and develop a mindset that supports your healing.

“After seeing the impact my work had on Tristin, Juanique asked me to create a masterclass to help her clients experience the breakthroughs she watched Tristin have.” -Britt Lefkoe

In the past decade, research has changed our understanding of the mind-body connection.

Countless studies have proven that both conscious and subconscious belief systems can create and heal disease within the body.

What Will I Learn?

- Why being sick is self-protective and how it has served you

- How illness has been self-love in disguise

- How to use your mind to create the neurochemicals that heal your body

- What mindset is right for you to feel strong and empowered in a healthy body?

Is This For Me?

- You have felt frustrated, hopeless, or powerless around your ability to heal

- You have felt like healthcare providers have failed you or been unable to help you

- You are confused and need help and support around your healing

- You want to take control of your mind to create health and wellness for yourself

Program:

Week 1: Our attachment to being sick

Week 2: Healing happens in a healthy environment

Week 3: Neuroscience and repatterning to what we want

Week 4: Breakout Sessions and Integration

How to Heal: From deprivation to Inspiration Aug 10, 2021

Show Summary: “Presence is the greatest present.”

We often see pain as a red flag. When we were young, we were taught that it was a bad feeling. But actually, it can be beautiful as it can teach us a lot of things. When we feel it, it tells us to slow down and be with our body because pain is a compass to return to our true north and higher self.

Your body feels different emotions for different reasons, and listening to them and letting them flow through you, is your medicine. Loneliness, defeat, and despair are painful, and crying it out is OK because it makes you feel better. And surrendering allows those triggers to heal.

In this episode with Gina and Raj, they discuss masculine and feminine energy & how emotions change our physical chemistry towards healing. Listen as Juanique also shares the beautiful things she learned through Tristin's death that help her create a safe space for their children.

If someone you know is in deep pain, please share this with them to help them process what they feel through the golden nuggets mentioned in this podcast.

Exceptional Highlight:

When you're present and slow with your body, it can magically do its work.
Let the pain be your teacher and guide into your body.
Children are one of our greatest teachers because they teach us to slow down and play.

Show Highlights:

How are Juanique and Tristin's loved ones doing four weeks after his passing?

Raj 1:00

I can still feel the amount of love from him in every moment, in the kids and the house. He randomly pops into my mind all the time. Gina and I talk about him quite a lot.

Gina

He's a part of our lives. He's not a memory; he's an active part of our lives.

How are Juanique’s children doing?

Juanique 7:41

I don't think there is a right way to prepare your children. The only thing you can do for them is doing the work to hold a really safe space that is loving and gentle for them. I think I've done a great job of letting them feel the sadness. And then we'll hold each other in love and let it move through them.

Intentions help you do things with love and energy

Raj 16:27

It doesn't matter if it's a workout or a desire to have a healthier life. The origin of the intent is the seed that heals. If you think that you're not enough, you will be in this rat race or the hustle culture that gives you more stress and makes you do more. It puts you in this place where your mind is in the driver's seat instead of your mind being in service to the heart.

Our bodies will not heal in fear and stress

Gina 20:17

The researchers at the Heart Math Institute look at heart rate variability and other health indicators that predict longevity and aging. They look at how joy, love, and gratitude directly change heart rate variability. They're all these different keys to longevity. So we have to have love and joy for our bodies to heal. Otherwise, we're out of sync and coherence.

Unpacking Death Through Life - Juanique's Story About Tristin's Life Transition Jul 27, 2021

Show Summary: “If you can get to the heart, the universe will pour itself into you because the universe loves you. You just have to be open to receiving it.”

As most of you know, Tristin, Juanique's husband, life partner, best friend, the brains of Provo Health and Gutsy Health Podcast, passed away two weeks ago. And in this episode, Juanique shares how they turned a total-wrecked world into the most magnificent event in their lives.

When Tristin's cancer came back, it became a very dark and painful experience for them. Tristin was so traumatized that he kept all his wounds to himself and chose to suffer in silence. But Juanique figured that all the heavy emotions cancer had caused them should be addressed so they can heal.

Tristin underwent different therapies like Ketamine, Sanga & EMDR therapy to rewire the brain and help him deal with his battle. Juanique, who had been grieving from the very beginning, used techniques and tools throughout the past few months that helped her release her pain.

It had been a tough journey for Juanique and Tristin, but their choice to undergo mental and emotional healing made their situation exquisite. The overflowing love from their family and friends made his passing so peaceful and calm. The beautiful synchronicities made his memories & legacy so remarkable like he truly was.

Exceptional Highlight:

You are not your body, you are the love that encompasses your body.
Death showed us that we are not our body and that we are not the things we cling to.
Love goes everywhere. There's nowhere where love can't go.

Show Highlights:

How is Juanique’s story different from others?

Juanique 2:18

Tristin actually hasn't gone. I feel him every, every single day. And it's so amazing. Trust me, the first week, I could feel him so big as he passed. And when he passed, it was palpable you could feel the peace in the house. It was like his energy was being transmuted through me, and I could feel him around me and in me,

The night Tristin died

Juanique 09:58

It was around 9:45 PM, and I walked into the room. I checked Tristin and looked for his chest to see movement, and there was none. My friend Jalen, a nurse, was in the room, and we locked eyes. And I said, "Tristin's not breathing."

What were the things Tristin and Juanique did for healing?

Juanique 29:14

He did Ketamine and Sanga therapy, and it was amazing. He also did EMDR therapy, and what it does is helps rewire your brain and move traumatic memories to a different part of your brain so that it doesn't have that emotional charge anymore.

The goose bumping beautiful synchronicities of Tristin's death

Juanique 53:14

He was really close with his sister Brittany. She said as she came to drive to her house the following day; as soon as she entered the canyon, she heard Tristin say to her, "I love you, sister. It was peaceful entering in. "

15 Easy Steps To Create A Healthy Living Environment Jun 22, 2021

“Stop bringing in chemicals that are harmful to you and your family's health. Your home should be clean and safe because it is your SANCTUARY.”

Your home is your safest place. That's where you rest, eat healthy and fun foods, spend time and build dreams with your loved ones. And because of the restrictions caused by the pandemic, sometimes there is no other choice for you but to stay home. But it can be quite alarming to know that even the simple things around your home can give you inflammation and worse, can poison you.

The world runs differently right now, and many things are created to make your life much easier but can destroy your health faster even if you're at home relaxing, like the gadgets you use daily. Devices help you reach people who are far from you, and it automates your activities. Some products help you clean your house but slowly deteriorate your body. And without proper guidance and awareness from the real experts who care, you might get sick without knowing the root cause.

That's why Ryan Blaser, the owner of Test My Home Building Solutions, is back to discuss what EMF is and give you Fifteen easy, actionable, and no-cost ways to protect your family from it. And just by simply sharing this with the people you care about, you can save a life and help us heal the world.

Exceptional Highlight:

The problem is, the more effective a pesticide is, the more harmful it is.
If you have plastic in your kitchen, get rid of it and reuse glass, wood, stainless steel, and silicone. They are all good options.
Practical Avoidance is lowering all the artificial energies that are traveling through our bodies that are affecting the brain, heart & nervous system.

Show Highlights:

Ways To Protect Yourselves from EMFs

Starting at 7:36

Take the time to open up doors and windows, get some cross-ventilation because AC causes high CO2 levels inside the homes.
Take off your shoes out of the door. Make it a rule to take off your shoes to prevent bringing in so much nasty stuff from the outside.
Ensure you use the vent in your bathroom and not let the moisture condensate in your doors and walls.
Ensure you're using the ventilation in your kitchen to prevent creating carbon monoxide whenever you're burning petroleum products.
Use good clean products instead of products with high chemical content which are deadly.
Prevent using fragrances that have chemicals in them. Learn to love the smell of neutral because that's a healthy smell.
Get rid of plastics for cooking because they are toxins, and they can get into your system.
Stop using super effective pesticides because they are toxic to your gut biome.
Stop using herbicides on the lawn because they are cancerous.
Go to your attic, check it once or twice a year and clean it.
Turn off your electronic devices when not in use to minimize EMF exposure.
When you're sleeping, turn the circuits off to your bedroom.
When you use grounding mats, you have to be in a zero electric field.
If you can't turn off your devices, make sure to put them from a distance.

Neurological Effects Of Sugar & Insulin Jun 15, 2021

Show Summary: “Give your brain a break, let it be the true hybrid engine that it wants to be, and quit depriving it of this alternative or additional fuel, namely ketones.”

A lot of people have requested for Dr. Benjamin Bikman to be in the podcast again, and he's back with more valuable information that can save you and your family's lives! In the 89th episode, he discussed how glucose could kill and how it triggers different diseases when it goes up. Now, he'll discuss how it could affect the human body's neurological health.

When the brain is hungry, it can cause neurological problems. It's because the brain can't get enough energy from glucose, and there are simply no ketones around to provide the alternative fuel. Sadly, people usually eat sugary & starchy foods that don't have ketones, depriving the brain of what it needs.

Also, reductions in brain glucose use have been detected in those suffering from migraines which are also evident in Epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease. Listen carefully as Dr. Benjamin breaks down the lethal effects of glucose & lack of ketones in the brain. Share this with your friends and family and learn how to protect yourself from neurological illnesses by trimming down your sugar intake.

Exceptional Highlight:

If someone's eating french fries that have been fried in soybean oil, they are getting every fat molecule on there because the oil has become an oxidized or a peroxide version of itself.
Insulin may take up to three hours or more to come back down to where it was before. If we can never stop eating, we bump it back up again before insulin gets back down to fasting or baseline levels.
When ketones are available in the blood, the brain will get 75% of all of its energy from ketones.

Show Highlights:

Quick Recap: What is Insulin?

Dr. Benjamin 3:52

Insulin is a peptide hormone. It is released from our pancreas, and it tells every cell in the body to do something. And every cell in the body will respond to insulin in some way. Its most famous effect is what it does at fat cells and muscle cells, and that is to stimulate the uptake of glucose.

How insulin and sugar affect neurological disorders?

Dr. Benjamin 20:16

When the glucose metabolism rate in people's brains with mild cognitive impairment is measured, it is significantly down. It happens even with the early stages of Alzheimer's disease (even if it's not diagnosed yet), yet we see these detections. We can detect this reduction in glucose use; however, ketone use was normal.

The best and easiest way to take care of your brain

Dr. Benjamin 49:56

You don't have to go on some strict ketogenic diet or multi-day fasting. You don't have to be that extreme. Eat a reasonable dinner that isn't an overindulgence. It should have fat, protein, and even carbohydrates, then stop eating after dinner.

Mindset - The First Order of Healing Jun 08, 2021

Show Summary: “When you do the work, and you don't bypass your mindset, your life shifts for the better and you start to channel your inner power”

The Master Your Subconscious Workshop has finally wrapped up. Twenty women learned to channel their inner power and discovered that they could do amazing things and effortlessly heal. The workshop taught them how important mindset is in healing that helped them shift their energy and frequency.

Working on your mindset can be challenging if you do it alone. But it can be easier if you work on it from the inside out instead of outside in. And in this episode, Dr. Elizabeth Rogers, a master healer, and expert in custom holistic health services, shares some simple exercises you can consistently do every day to start manifesting powerful energy and regain control of your life.

Please share this with your family and friends who need emotional healing and gradually discover the higher version of you. And if you want to be a part of The Master Your Subconscious Workshop, watch Juanique's Instagram for an update on the class.

Exceptional Highlight:

We are emotional beings and we can't keep bypassing that.
The old version of you kept you alive, so thank her/him and let them go.
You have to learn how to love yourself. If you fill your love cup, then you can graciously fill other people's love cup. Asking others to fill your cup without you filling it is transactional love, selfish love.

Show Highlights:

Dr. Elizabeth Rogers’ story

Dr. Elizabeth 3:01

I lived on the receiving end of what mainstream medicine can do to you when you become chronically ill. Fifteen years ago, I ended up getting rushed to the hospital in the morning while I was getting ready for class because I collapsed on my bathroom floor. I was admitted to the hospital because of kidney stones. My surgeon said, "We're gonna blast out your stones." So I had surgery, and ten days later, I was in the hospital, declining, and no one could figure out why.

How perception can shift your energy?

Juanique 14:09

You know that feeling when you fall in love with someone, and you're energized? You're so inspired, and you feel like you're floating on clouds. It's not because of that person. It's because of your perception of that person. That was all your energy shifting, and you shifted that energy because of your perception.

How can you shift your energy?

Dr. Elizabeth 19:59

Ask yourself these questions:
- Who would I be if I had blank?
- What would I do if I already had blank?
- Then the last question is, how would I feel if I already had blank?

You fill in the blank with what feels right to you.

Dental Health - How It Relates To Autoimmune & Other Body Health Issues Jun 01, 2021

Show Summary: “When you improve gut health, you also improve dental health. Adding minerals back to our body helps heal the teeth.”

A beautiful set of teeth makes you more attractive and confident. And dentists have different ways to do that. One of those is dental amalgam or silver fillings. You can also buy toothpaste with high fluoride content everywhere because it can prevent cavities or tooth decay.

However, silver fillings and fluoride may not be the best solution to your tooth problem. Silver fillings have fifty percent mercury which is dangerous to your health, and fluoride makes your bones very brittle. Sadly, tooth decay is not the only dental issue that exists. Mouth structure can also be a dental health problem that can affect your breathing seriously.

In this episode with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, an author, speaker, teacher, biologic/holistic dentist, and health and wellness provider, you'll find out why malnutrition is a reason for your child's inability to develop healthy teeth. Don't forget to share this with your friends and family for tips on how to understand and take care of your teeth better.

Exceptional Highlight:

Unfortunately, Fluoride makes the bones brittle, leading to higher rates of bone fracture.
An unhealthy diet can lead to long skinny, narrow faces & noses during growth and developmental changes, making it very difficult to get air into our bodies.
The tongue's job is to form the upper jaw. If the tongue is unable to go up because it's tied down to the floor of the mouth, the upper jaw then becomes narrow because it doesn't have the force of the tongue going up and spreading the job.

Show Highlights:

Dr. Michelle Jorgensen’s story

Dr. Michelle 1:39

I was a general dentist, but I was getting worse and worse while I was taking great care of people. MRIs, doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, nobody could give me an answer. Until finally, I met another practitioner. He asked me if I had looked into mercury poisoning. He said, "It's the ones that you've been drilling out for the last 15 years with no protection, breathing it all in."

What are dental silver fillings made of?

Dr. Michelle 4:49

The silver fillings have 50% percent mercury. If you have one today, it's 50% mercury. Everyone says silver is one of the lowest percentage ingredients, like 20% silver, 50% mercury.

What is Dr. Michelle's opinion on fluoride?

Dr. Michelle 21:01

People started using fluoride because they found that societies with higher fluoride in their water suddenly had fewer cavities. But what they don't tell you is it also had an increased incidence of hyperfluorosis, which is this high fluoride level that also affects the bones and makes bones more brittle.

How does malnutrition affect your child's teeth development?

My son's teeth were so messed up when we adopted him. I found out that the maxilla, the upper jaw, is the first bone impacted by malnutrition. So his jaw didn't grow because he didn't have enough nutrition to help it grow.

Insulin, Sugar & Blood Sugar - An Explanation May 25, 2021

Show Summary: “When blood sugar stays in the bloodstream, it causes inflammation and damage to other organs.”

Last week's episode with Dr. Benjamin Bikman was a very beneficial & comprehensive education about insulin and blood glucose. He spoke about the biochemistry of what happens in the body when we overeat sugar and how we get sick from hormone dysfunction and inflammation.

But for those who find it quite overwhelming and technical, Juanique and Gina created a short bonus episode for you, which explains the mechanism of glucose & insulin. They use different and simple analogies to help you understand better how to monitor the food you eat, the daily activities you do, and familiarize yourself with the terminologies you can use to educate your loved ones.

Don't forget to share this with your family and friends who have listened to the Megamind episode with Dr. Benjamin Bikman. Also, be sure to subscribe and follow us on our social media accounts, where we create more content that you need to live a better, healthy, and happy life.

Exceptional Highlight:

Even though coconut sugar, maple syrup & honey are nature-made, they still have tons of sugar and no fiber to stabilize blood glucose.
If you have a 20-year-old liver versus the liver of an 80-year-old, the 20-year-old liver is going to handle the fruit beautifully. But if you have the liver of an 80-year-old, you are not going to regulate all the sugar from the fruits you eat.
Check your protein bars because many of them are around 20-25 grams of sugar, while your standard Snickers bar is 25 grams of sugar.

Show Highlights:

What is blood glucose mainly about?

Juanique 2:00

When talking about blood glucose, we're mainly talking about carbohydrates. And the most simple form of carbs is the monosaccharides.

A great analogy of how carbohydrates work

Gina 12:09

If you eat carbohydrates, they get digested and broken down. They're all linked together like a pearl necklace. Then each little pearl is like a little molecule of glucose. So when you eat a lot of carbohydrates, they get flooded in the bloodstream really fast.

What foods are high in sugar?

Juanique 17:33

Table sugar, any pastries, icings, cakes, cookies, fruit juices have tons of sugar. Soda has tons of sugar, even the healthy sources, I hate to say this, but coconut sugar, maple syrup, honey, even though they are nature-made, they still have tons of sugar & no fiber to stabilize the blood glucose.

What to check first in the food label?

Juanique 23:41

When you're looking at labels, you need to look at sugar first, carbohydrates second. So if it has zero sugars, but it has 60 carbs, that's still going to break down into sugar, and you'll still need a lot of insulin to break that down.

Insulin - The Root Cause of Disease May 18, 2021

Show Summary: “When glucose goes up, it can kill you.”

Essentially, human metabolism is fueled by two energy sources, those are glucose and fat. But too much intake, especially of glucose, puts your health at risk. That's where insulin comes in, which keeps your blood glucose within the normal range.

Every cell responds to insulin differently. So if a person has insulin resistance, it means that some of his cells are resistant (ex. muscle). While, some are sensitive as they were (ex. cells in the ovaries or on the adrenal gland), which sends the wrong signal to the body to produce more hormones and causes a vast dysfunction.

In this episode with Dr. Benjamin Bikman, the author of the book Why We Get Sick, they break the misconception about insulin resistance. They also discuss why monitoring your insulin (not just your glucose) can be your lifesaver. Please share this with your family and friends to help us spread the word and save more people suffering from Diabetes and insulin resistance.

Exceptional Highlight:

Rather than looking at insulin as an anabolic hormone at the muscle, look at it as anti-catabolic. It prevents the breakdown of the muscle protein. And you don't need a big insulin spike to do that.
If the mitochondria aren't working well, then there's no question. Virtually every chronic disease is waiting for you.
We should be very grateful. Every time we're putting something in our mouth, we should realize that this came from something that was once alive. Whether it was a plant or animal and now its death can enrich us and help us live longer.

Show Highlights:

What is the book, “Why We Get Sick” about?

Benjamin 1:32

The premise of the book is maybe a good way to start. The idea is that metabolic health essentially underlies good health or disease, that when our metabolic health is in disarray, then the consequence will be chronic diseases.

What would happen if glucose is high?

Benjamin 12:09

If glucose is high around the 200 milligrams per deciliter range for several hours, you will start to lose plasma volume or water from your blood as that glucose in that water is getting pulled into your urine.

What is insulin resistance?

Benjamin 16:55

It is the process where insulin is simply less able to do what it used to do in a cell. And, of course, every different cell responds to insulin differently. And so it's no surprise that when I say insulin isn't working well, that affects some cells more than others.

What are the causes of insulin resistance?

Benjamin 22:26

One is chronically elevated stress. The other is inflammation. And then the third is you're eating a diet that is forcing your insulin levels to be up all the time. So chronically elevated insulin is a cause of insulin resistance.

Lies You've Been Told About Salt May 11, 2021

Show Summary: “We need sodium to help us adequately maintain our blood pressure. We need it to support our brain, our adrenals, and our digestion.”

We need salt in our bodies. Studies from the American Journal of Medicine show that low salt intake causes more cardiovascular disease risk factors than extremely high intake. The adrenal, which produces cortisol, needs sodium to help our bodies adapt to stress.

But we should know which type of salt to consume and not. Like other processed foods, salt can also be manufactured. Sadly, other manufacturers pull out the nutrients from it to make the cost cheaper, which you have to get rid of to avoid certain diseases.

In this episode with Darryl Bosshardt, one of the founders of the Redmond Red Salt, you'll discover what natural whole salt is and its difference from the one you see in the market. In addition, you'll find out how the human body reacts to a salt substitute.

Exceptional Highlight:

Throw out the idea of looking for sea salt, and start looking for natural whole salt.
Every single cell in the body requires sodium.
Salt is a very inexpensive preservative, and it's even cheaper if it's manufactured because they've already pulled out the nutrients. So if you're eating processed foods, you're getting high amounts of processed salt, which is a bad combination.

Show Highlights:

Is salt really bad for us, and should we eliminate it from our diet?

Darryl 5:00

Salt's job in the body is to regulate intracellular and extracellular fluids. So when those fluids are out of balance, it does cause, or it can cause problems. So these doctors did a study on rats and fed them copious amounts of sodium, and sure enough, they had some problems. And that'd be true for everything.

Does lack of salt affect your food digestion?

Juanique 9:42

If you're decreasing your salt intake, you don't have enough sustenance to create hydrochloric acid in the stomach to break down your food. Therefore, you're not absorbing your food and would have malabsorption. Consequently, you start to get sick. So we need this salt to get the chloride to pump it into our stomach to break down our food.

What should we know about the world of iodized salt?

Darryl 20:27

Most people, especially women, are iodine deficient for several reasons, whether that's halogen toxicity, diet, or many different factors involved. Most people should be going out of their way to seek good sources of iodine, be that food or a good clean iodine supplement. But salt is not the way to get iodine.

Why We Lose Libido As We Age Apr 20, 2021

Show Summary: “Women have such delicate hormones. They experience shifts at different times that make them feel that their body is at war against them.”

Women are natural nurturers. They are great at multitasking, particularly in taking care of their children, working, and doing household chores. But as they age, they experience different issues in their bodies, such as weight gain, loss of libido, and loss of energy.

These issues cause mood changes, difficulty to stay in shape, and usually have crazy cravings. And it doesn't only happen with moms, even in single and younger women, which is quite alarming, especially for the younger generation.

In this episode, Juanique and Gina discuss the other possible reasons why you don't feel like yourself because of these shifts in your body, their personal experiences and how you can prevent it from happening. Listen as they talk about the program they created for you to heal yourself using the tools they have in the roadmap.

Exceptional Highlight:

There can be a time and a place for cardio, but from a hormone balance perspective, keeping it short and doing things like Yoga, Pilates, strength training might be a lot better.
If your hormones are all over the place, you should take an honest look at your stress. If you're stressed, that's going to take priority, and all your other hormones will drop.
Sleeping resets everything; it brings inflammation down.

Show Highlights:

Why do we gain weight and lose our libido as we age?

Gina 2:14

I think for me, it was a combination of trying to heal my body from birth control, being under so much stress. I remember waking up in the morning, and I don't even feel like myself anymore. I don't feel positive anymore. And I was using caffeine and coffee to get me into a good mood.

How our hormones and organs work together

Gina 11:05

The main ones that I'm thinking about are your sex hormones. You have your estrogen or progesterone, your testosterone. These hormones are like a symphony. Your estrogen, that's what's going to drive you for reproduction, that's what's going to support you to have sex & have a baby; that very juicy hormone there. Your testosterone is more like your metabolism.

What happens to your cortisol level when you're not sleeping?

Juanique 27:22

When you're not sleeping well, you will have a higher cortisol level in the morning.

Gina 27:45

There's a research study where they deprived mice of sleep, and I can't remember how long it took. But after a certain amount of time, they all get diabetes.

Master Your Subconscious To Heal Yourself Apr 13, 2021

Show Summary: “Take the reins of your subconscious; The embodiment of your power.”

All human beings have experienced stress, toxicity, or trauma, which changed their perception of life. Some survived it, but some are still living in their dark past, which negatively affects their way of thinking and ability to make decisions.

Implanting different subconscious programming to human beings' minds since childhood takes them away from knowing their real identity, contributing to someone's suffering. But to heal is to grow; to grow is to heal. No matter how difficult or challenging it may sound, it can be simply done if you know the right tools and steps.

That's why Juanique, together with Audrey Taylor, have created a workshop to help you change your current mindset and thought patterns and help you reclaim your power back and take charge of your life. Their goal is to teach you how to fill your love and energy cup and attract the caliber of relationship & results you have with yourself.

We’re offering you a 50USD discount on the workshop, during this episode!

Exceptional Highlight:

Trauma doesn't come through intellectually; It comes in emotionally and energetically.
Your trauma is not your fault, but it's your responsibility to heal it.
I create my future by releasing the past.
All betrayal is self-betrayal.

Show Highlights:

What kind of workshop are Juanique and Aubrey putting up?

Aubrey 4:30

We are designing for you all a beautiful Master Your Subconscious Workshop. We have been talking about the tools that people are using that are getting them a little bit of progress, but then maybe they plateau, flatline, or fall flat on their face, and they feel like they try, but it just doesn't work. So we wanted to talk about some of those things that maybe have a little bit of positive change but aren't like the full shebang, and you feel stuck.

What do we do to heal?

Juanique 8:23

Something that you've mentioned to members in the past is that we have to have an identity crisis for us to heal. And that is terrifying. In fact, for most people, that's probably scarier than facing your disease because your disease feels tangible. The identity crisis is who you are, and this is your ego. We have to go back to the beginning and recognize our part in playing out these stories and energy.

What is the victim-villain-hero analogy?

Juanique 17:54

Often, when we are in a situation that doesn't serve us, we play the victim, and there's a villain out there who's attacking you, and you want a hero. Part of the identity crisis is saying there are no victims, and there are no villains, there are no heroes, there's just being accountable for your part.

Three things to do in the workshop to solidify change

Aubrey 29:14

We need something that is going to initiate a real subconscious shift. That would be an immersive workshop, not a seminar, not something where you are a passive participant and recipient of all this information.
We’ll be (1) teaching you, and then (2) you’ll be teaching each other and (3) we’ll be standing by as you practice independently.

Healing- How We Are Doing It Wrong Apr 06, 2021

Show Summary: “When I'm sitting down with my five coaches and we're going over training and cases, they say, everyone's foundational issues are almost identical. You actually are very unique, please embrace your uniqueness. But disease is not. Disease oftentimes all stems from the same root causes. People don't implement the basics because they don't understand them and they don't see the value behind implementing basics because it's too basic.”

Gutsy Health started when Tristin was diagnosed with cancer a few years back. It became their motivation to study and open a clinic to help and educate people about healing; It also sparked Juanique's mission to save Tristin. They created courses, memberships, and the podcast to spread their word and make micro changes worldwide.

Despite all the great things they have built, their uphill battle continues. When Tristin's cancer came back, and his body was giving up because of the tumor, his doctor told Juanique that he only had two weeks to live. But like what they say, "You can't put a good man down!". Miraculously, Tristin is gradually bouncing back and is now doing great!

Fueled by their mission, Juanique, and Tristin, together with their good friend, Gina Worful, a Registered Dietitian, created a program that consists of complimentary classes, a new membership, and consultations that break down everything you should know, even the basic components, so you can get a clear grasp of what's truly going on inside your body. Listen until the end of the episode and find out how to be a part of the program.

Juanique 1:23

This business is an extension of me, and it's my passion project. It's not even a business; it's who I am. And it started because of Tristin's cancer. It began with the burning fire because the doctor told us that he wouldn't live past two years.

What idea keeps Juanique awake at night?

Juanique 22:09

I want to explain this diagram to you guys because I think I did it at 1 AM. I literally stay up at night, trying to figure out the world's problems and I was thinking, "How can we help people heal themselves?"

Let your body be your trainer

Gina 35:00

Let your body be your trainer. I think a lot of people have a fear of, "Well if I just listened to my body, it'll be just sitting on the couch." But truly, we need to check in on it. When I got honest with what my body wanted, it wanted to move in so many different ways.

What’s in the program?

Hydrogen Water - The New Water Craze You Need To Know Of Mar 30, 2021

Show Summary: The research behind hydrogen water is that it can act as antioxidant in the body and help nurture a healthy gut biome as well as help normalize any kind of dysbiosis. It can also help with other diseases, like diabetes and neurological dysfunctions

Hydrogen water has a lot of miraculous benefits to the human body. Even people with diabetes typically experience normalization of glucose levels within three to five days of drinking it. Juanique's tremor has reduced by ninety percent three days after installing it in their home.

People who visit Dr. Paul's booth at trade shows who couldn't hold a glass of six to eight ounces of water come back to him with their hands still after ten minutes of consuming it. His wife, who was in extreme menstrual cycle pain and was anemic, is now free from all of those discomforts. Again, thanks to hydrogen water.

But, how does it help heal a human body?

In this episode, Dr. Paul Barattiero, a certified naturopathic doctor and the CEO and founder of Synergy Science, discusses its mechanisms and success stories showing its power to heal. Listen as he tells about the places on Earth where you can naturally get water with hydrogen gas and find out where you can buy Echo Water machines for you and your family.

Exceptional Highlight:

All disease starts with gut dysfunction
Putting hydrogen into the gut will not repair the gut. Changing the electrical potential of the tissue in the gut will repair it and its functions. Hydrogen will help feed healthy anaerobic gut bacteria
When we use antibiotics inappropriately or appropriately, it can destroy our gut tissue's polarity or the epithelial tissue in the gastrointestinal tract

Show Highlights:

How did Dr. Paul discover hydrogen water?

Dr. Paul 3:06

As a thank you, our friends took my wife and I on a nine-day cruise to the Panama Canal. But they brought a suitcase of 1 gallon water jugs with them for us, filled with special water - After drinking the water my wife almost completely recovered from debilitating health issues

Why is hydrogen water so good for us?

Dr. Paul 21:08

Our bodies were designed to digest food and during digestion, we have fermentation in the gut. When fermentation happens, we have these beautiful bacteria called hydrogen tropes that will consume fiber, water soluble or beneficial fiber as well as short chain fatty acids, medium chain fatty acids, and convert those things into hydrogen gas in the gut. But because of our lack of whole food consumption, antibiotic use and herbicide/pesticide exposure our gut biome is constantly being destroyed which then decreases its ability to produce hydrogen which then decreases the body's ability to then utilise it as an antioxidant

Stress, Neuroinflammation and Digestive Issues Mar 23, 2021

Show Summary: “When you're bloated and have a super noisy gut, you might not be making enough enzymes to break down your food because you're stressed out.”

Stress and digestive issues can create neuro-inflammation. The vagus nerve attaches to every organ in a human body's digestive tract, keeping you in balance and maintaining your homeostasis. But, viruses can potentially hijack the vagus nerve and the immune system depending on how well the body can balance different life stressors.

The neck area has a direct connection with the brain. When someone has Epstein Barr or food sensitivities, they get swollen lymph nodes. Poor posture and stress can cause tight neck, preventing proper circulation and getting rid of toxins to help the body heal.

Dr. Jannine Krause, a Naturopathic Doctor, Acupuncturist, and Podcaster, shares how strengthening the parasympathetic system can combat this issue. Listen well as she gives tips and actionable practices on how to start to calm your nervous system to prevent inflammation.

Exceptional Highlight:

Stress creates inflammation in the nervous system and we get infections because of it.
You can't run from a bear and digest food. The brain literally cannot do that. Your nervous system is either in a parasympathetic state (rest and digest) or it’s in a sympathetic state (fight or flight) but it can’t be in both.
Your oral health is related to your systemic health. When your gums keep bleeding or getting cavities, that is related to gut health.

Show Highlights:

The belly is your first brain

Jannine 3:06

We also have all these nerves that are connected, they go all the way down the spine, so can potentially affect every single part of your body, every organ in your body..

How do we help ourselves with neuro-inflammation?

Jannine 14:41

It's not because we need to calm the sympathetic nervous system, we need to strengthen the parasympathetic. I'm doing a lot more lifestyle stuff now and working on how we get more calm and there's this great thing called parasympathetic breathing.

What does food sensitivities have to do with it?

Jannine 19:46

With food sensitivities, what's happening is we've got two things. One is the neck bottleneck issue here. Part of it is if your neck is dealing with stuff, you're putting food in, your neck’s already inflamed - we're adding histamine. Histamine is a neurotransmitter that comes out in response to inflammation. So if you're struggling with rashes, or hives, or any of that stuff, and you can't figure it out, this could be neuro-inflammation.

Lead: The Silent Epidemic Mar 16, 2021

Show Summary: “It causes so many things because it's one of the most potent neurotoxins known to man, and it also impacts pretty much every biological system, but there's no outward symptom.”

Moms are known for being very protective of their little ones. But the question is, how far are they willing to go to give the best life to their kids? How much effort can they give to raise awareness to their fellow moms about the toxins contributing to children's brain damage?

In this episode, Juanique and Gina ask Tamara Rubin everything she knows about the harmful effects of Lead. Tamara is a child health advocate, author, environmental activist, and documentary filmmaker. Her son was acutely poisoned when a painter they hired used an open flame torch to burn the paint off their house's exterior. Now, he has severe OCD, has ADHD and Dyslexia, and all sorts of learning disabilities. This ignited her mission even more, to tell the world, specifically moms, to protect their kids from the dangers of Lead.

She publishes new blogs almost every day and educates people where it exists, such as toys and even cooking dishes. Listen as she shares tips on properly choosing the best materials you can use at home to minimize your family's exposure to Lead.

The same people who worked on the tobacco industry campaigns to make sure that you think cigarettes are safe are those people who also initially designed the Lead poisoning obfuscation campaign, making you think that Lead paint is safe.

Show Highlights:

Why is Lead a silent epidemic?

Tamara 1:08

But the reason it's a silent epidemic or a secret epidemic is because there's no outward symptom.

Do any toys have any kind of metal in it?

Tamara 8:38

I do want to give people some hope. As much as there's Lead in everything, we also need to not be afraid and we need to not live in fear.

The Role of Neurotransmitters and Mold Mar 09, 2021

Show Summary: “Neurotransmitters are basically neuro chemicals in your body that control every aspect of it - your digestion, muscles, mood, and are very related to anxiety, depression, sleep, and peristalsis of your gut. They are involved in every single function of the body.”

Dopamine and Serotonin are neurotransmitters and are very powerful. Being deficient in it can make you feel exhausted, unmotivated and can cause anxiety and depression. Medical professionals see it as something critical because it can contribute to hormone dysregulation.

Another thing that can trigger depression and anxiety is mold as it is often invisible and misdiagnosed.

What's even trickier about this is people often think that they don't have mold in their homes. Surprisingly, it can cause an illness in any organ or our thyroid glands and create symptoms like brain fog. That's why Dr. Ann-Marie Barter believes that every household needs to address this and that more people need to be tested for mold toxicity.

In this episode, Dr. Ann-Marie Barter, a Chiropractor and Functional Medicine practitioner in private practice in Denver, Colorado tells us more about hormonal issues, its causes and effects and how we can address it initially. Listen as she breaks down every aspect you need to know about what could be causing your stress, anxiety, depression or some other illnesses.

Show Highlights:

How do you usually address Neurotransmitters when people come to you with health issues?

Ann 6:43

I think two things are really important to address before you deal with neurotransmitters. The gut - it’s very important. If you have all this gut dysregulation, then guess what? You have to fix that first.

What are Catecholamines?

Ann 9:09

When we're looking at dopamine, basically you’re fight or flight, (which are catecholamines), this helps us run from a bear. But you need to be able to transition between being motivated, focused and feeling worthwhile and hopeful to be unable to run from that bear. Because that pathway for dopamine, is the same as your catecholamines pathways that fight or flight. And you have to be able to transition between the two seamlessly.

Covid-19 Vaccine — Should You Take It Feb 23, 2021

Show Summary: "Vaccines are meant to stimulate your immune system."

The pandemic has been testing the mental, physical and emotional well-being of people worldwide since it started. Many felt the fear of losing their lives or their loved ones because of how dangerous it has become. Wearing masks, face shields, and social distancing are now the new norm. Restrictions are everywhere to prevent the virus from spreading and taking the lives of many. The decrease in economic growth has been felt, especially in third-world countries.

But the question is, until when do we suffer from this? Now that vaccines are developed, many believe and hope that the pandemic is soon coming to an end. However, it sparks multiple reactions and emotions from different people. Some are afraid to get it, while others can't wait to be vaccinated.

"Is it safe for all ages?"

"Will it prevent the transmission?"

"If taken, does it mean your 100 percent protected from the virus?"

In this episode, Dr. Bradley Campbell of Integrated Holistic Healthcare in Wilmette, IL, and author of "Do I Have Adrenal Fatigue" book, shares his experiences with vaccines since he was a child up to the present. As a kid, he and his sister were doing a regular vaccine schedule, but they had different reactions to it, which made him more curious about its risks and benefits. However, many people in the natural community are skeptical about it, so find out what he has to say about the effects of vaccines.

Sugars' Many Forms and Triggers — The “Perfect” Root Beer Float Feb 16, 2021

Show Summary: "We allow people to consume as much sugar as possible without them recognizing it and, it leads to a lifetime of health issues."

Sugary foods are yummy and inviting, but they are also addicting and dangerous. Its availability in the market without any limitations makes it accessible to everyone without recognizing the harm in the long run. Almost all foods contain sugar, but not all are aware of properly looking at the label or nutritional facts.

However, your cells, your body, and your brain use sugar as energy. So the question is, is sugar good or bad?

In this episode, Juanique, shares a story about Tristin's craving for root beer float and how it triggered their Instagram followers' curiosity about its sugar content. Together with Gina Worful, a registered dietitian and master of human nutrition, they discuss:

Juanique 2:14

It's been really hard. Everyone is probably thinking 2020 was like the worst year of their lives, 2021 is potentially the worst year of my life..

How did the root beer float trigger start?

Juanique 8:08

There was one day where he's just craving root beer floats. So his dad went out and bought him some ice cream, which is like a keto ice cream. It has low sugar, but a whole bunch of other ingredients. And then we got the zevia root beers and they taste really good, but they're sweetened with stevia. So I showed everyone online, I'm like, “Hey, this is how I make Justin's root beer floats.”

Is eating protein bars the same as eating Snickers??
Gina 11:19

Seeing some of these bars, well, they’re healthy. It's a protein bar but it has 25 grams of sugar.

Are artificial sweeteners safe?

Juanique 37:00

Artificial sweeteners do actually cause gut dysbiosis, which leads to obesity (long term), and it also leads to immune system dysfunction.

Overcoming Emotional Eating with Tricia Nelson Jan 12, 2021

Show Summary: "To heal your hunger, you have to feel some hunger because that hunger informs you of what's going on."

Do you feel defeated because of your Yoyo diet?

Do you feel frustrated from preventing yourself from binge eating unhealthy foods, but you still end up feeling guilty after a stressful day?

Have you always been disappointed because of overeating?

Tricia Nelson, the author of Heal Your Hunger book and a transformational speaker, shares her roller coaster experience in being an emotional eater.

She tried many ways like diet, pills, programs, and consulted an eating disorder therapist to find solutions, but unfortunately, nothing worked for her. She would always go back to her yoyo diet, which broke her hope of finding the real problem.

Being focused on food and weight symptoms is not the key because it is just a symptom. What you have to dive into and deal with are the underlying causes, like the emotional factors. Good thing, Tricia overcame this through the help of her spiritual healer by addressing the real cause of her eating disorder.

Her journey has been her inspiration in educating people about food addiction or any health issues where the diet is involved. Listen as she breaks down the common misconceptions about food, emotional, and physical hunger.

What is Tricia’s story?

Tricia 2:21

I started out as an emotional eater, I think from the get go like as far back as I can, I remember food was a big highlight for me.

How did she figure out the missing piece to her problem?

Tricia 5:1

I was still young. I tried so many things, I'd actually lost some weight. And I was about to go back up the scale again, because that was my habit.

How did she start to heal her hunger?

Tricia 24:55

I did a lot of intense work. After a year or so I was in so much of a better place, and I didn't have the cravings anymore. I was in a thin body and I could handle being in a thin body, feeling worthy of being seen or feeling comfortable.

How does one differentiate between emotional hunger and physical hunger

Tricia 37:4

I've been doing this work for over 30 years now and it amazes me as a motivator, like I'll get off a phone call that's really stressful and I’d be like, “I'm hungry”.
And I'll think, “What can I eat?” And then I'll have this conversation with myself. And I'd be like, “Wait, you know, you just had breakfast a couple hours ago. Are you really that hungry?”

Hot yoga and Vinyasa yoga, and all these styles came from Ashtanga Yoga, a more vinyasa style, practice and Ashta means eight.

Did she study Ayurveda in India?

Claire 24:55

Well, I started doing some studies in India. And then when I had come back, I was still really having the raw foods trip. "If I can just eat all raw, I'm gonna find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow." and somewhere around that turning point, I realized, “Okay, this isn't quite the path I want to take.”

That's when I really started diving into my Ayurveda studies.

Exercise and Brain Health Interview with Jennifer Etnier Dec 29, 2020

Show Summary: “There's one organ in the body that's designed to benefit off of movement and that's the brain.”

Jennifer Etnier, a fellow at the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Academy of Kinesiology, focuses on physical activity's cognitive benefits. Her mom inspired her mission to spark awareness about the ability of exercise to improve brain functions.

It started when she noticed the difference in his mom's ability to problem-solve, mostly around technology, compared to his father's. At the age of 80, her mom still plays pickleball for two to three hours a day, which is not a regular activity for adults. She also hikes a lot, and she stays active with gardening and all sorts of activities.

Right now, they're doing a clinical trial that's supported by the National Institute of aging. They're looking at the potential benefits of a one-year commitment to physical activity for 40 to 65 years old and have a family history of Alzheimer's disease. They believe that if cognitively normal and healthy people participate in exercise for a year, they'll get behavioral benefits, brain structure, and brain function benefits.

Look For The Good - Jason Mraz

Podcast Services
Exceptional Highlight ( A quote that Juanique read during the recording) :

“Every action taken by human beings is based on love or fear.

Decisions affecting business, industry, politics, religion, the education of your young, the social agenda of your nations, the economic goals of your society, choices involving war, peace, attack, defense, aggression, submission, determinations, to covet or give away to save or to share to unite or to divide.

Every single free choice you have ever undertaken arises out of one of the only two possible thoughts there is - A thought of love or a thought of fear.

Fear is the energy which contracts, closes down, draws in, runs, hides, hoards, harms. Love is the energy which expands, opens up, senses out, stays, reveals, shares, heals.

Fear wraps our bodies enclosed. Love allows us to stand naked fear clings to and clutches all that we have. Love gives all that we have away.

Fear holds close, love holds dear.

Fear grasps love lets go.

Fear rankles love suits, fear attacks, love amends.

Every human thought, word or deed is based on one emotion or the other. You have no choice about this, because there's nothing else from which to choose but you have free choice about which of these to select.”

Tristin 16:01

One out of two people in their lifetime will contract cancer, which means that 30% of it would be a very, very rare incident where a person does not know somebody who has cancer.

What can you do for people who are battling with cancer?

When we get a craving, it's actually just your body telling you, “Hey, there's something that I really need”.

A lot of times cravings do come from nutritional deficiencies.

What is the process revolutionary for Tristin?

Tristin 38:02

In my mind, it feels very revolutionary because you're not really talking about nutrition, you're talking about deeply embedded psychological processes, you're talking about working through trauma.

The Truth About Tristin Dec 08, 2020

Show Summary: We have different battles. Others may look like they are the happiest when behind the laughter and smile is a heart full of sadness and pain.

No one exactly knows what each person is going through, whether it's financial, family, or health problems. Because sometimes, it's part of being a loving & caring person; we choose to hide what we feel and spread positivity even if we know that it's taking the toll on us

Our mentors, coaches, healers, or consultants are no exemption to this. The amazing people who empower and guide us also experience challenges in life. But to push you to move forward, they sometimes have to cry in silence, keep their problems to themselves just to see you grow and prosper.

Like Tristin and Juanique, their mission is to save lives by making a holistic lifestyle change. Behind it is a roller coaster ride of different emotions, anxiety, and stress because of Tristin's battle with cancer. However, this doesn't stop them from raising awareness about taking full responsibility for what you eat and do for long, healthy, and happy lives.

In this episode, they tell you how their journey has been in this year and

What symptoms has Tristin been feeling
What his current state is
Treatments that he undergoes
What realizations they have as a married couple with business and health struggles

What was their business struggle?

Juanique 17:45

How To Heal Your Gut- The Gut Restoration Protocol Nov 24, 2020

Show Summary: Many people have gut dysfunction because we live in a very harmful and antagonistic society towards our gut biome. What’s worse is some scientists say that it is totally fine when it’s not. Childhood allergies are one of the harmful effects, and it has now tripled, which is why we have to be cautious of what is detrimental to our health.

Other factors contributing to gut dysbiosis are stress, which increases inflammation and makes it a hostile environment for healthy bacteria to populate. Second is antibiotics and birth control. Third are the foods containing glyphosate, mostly found in bread, pasta, or processed food that uses wheat.

Learn some practical steps on how to start restoring your gut biome with Juanique, as she also discusses her top six list of most inflammatory foods on the planet. Find out what superfoods you can eat to feed the good bacteria and help them grow exponentially.

Juanique 3:45

There were a lot of very triggered people, and I apologize, but it basically said that those born in the 90s I think are like five times more likely to get colon cancer in their 30s.

What is a healthy gut?

Juanique 9:38

A healthy gut has a nice strong lining epithelium lining so it's not broken down.

How does inflammation start?

Juanique 14:30

When we don't have enough healthy good bacteria to protect the mucous lining, the epithelial lining starts to break down. And when it breaks down with that mucosal lining starts to kind of dry up, and vaporize.

What is rebalancing?

Juanique 21:32

Rebalance is stress management, yoga, exercising self-care, deep breathing, meditation.

How to repair and repopulate?

Juanique 21:47

If you have insane gut dysbiosis if you potentially have cebo you might not want to start with this one. And I'll tell you why. Because there might be a lot of competition in your gut and it might make you more bloated and gassy.

Mold Contamination - Recognize and Remediate with Ryan Blaser Nov 17, 2020

Show Summary: Molds are a fungus that feeds off of organic material, and it can make you sick. Its existence in the household makes it dangerous for human health, especially if people are unaware of what it does to our immune system. Sadly, eighty percent of American families have toxic mold problems that affect the occupants' health.

It doesn't exempt dry areas when there is a leaky pipe, water damage, or drainage issues. Itchy throat, cough, or runny nose that doesn't go away are toxic molds' symptoms. It also has psychological effects like headaches, brain fog, fatigue, depression, nausea, and in some cases, even hallucinations; if it's bad enough.

To get rid of it, listen to Ryan Blaser, the owner of Test My Home, a company aiming to create healthy, toxic-free work and home environments through mold remediation. Find out what other recommendations he has to prevent molds from spreading to your house.

3 Exceptional Highlights:

The reason that it's toxic is that mold is fighting for its territory. They're not necessarily doing that to harm humans, but they're trying to fight off the other mold species that are in the area.
Proper mold remediation, according to the standards, is removing the mold physically. So either sanding, if it's in a porous material, it needs to be thrown away.
Our number one goal is to build a healthy home and to have mold-free, toxin-free. And let's take our time, let's do it right. It might take a little bit longer, but in the end, you're going to have a home, that's going to be a sanctuary for you.

Show Highlights:

What is Mold?

Ryan 3:50

Mold is a fungus, it's a fungus in its own kingdom. And it feeds off of organic material. So if you have water and you have organic material, mold spores are in the air everywhere. So you give it a little water, something to eat, and you're gonna have mold growing.

What's the difference between bad mold, black mold & mold on our cheese??

Ryan 4:21

There are several hundred different kinds of mold in their molds that are much worse than others just like they're different kinds of animals. So a tiger might be more dangerous than a bunny.

How do you know if you have a mold problem?

Ryan 11:31

There are a couple of things you can do. Mold needs water to grow. One of the first things you can do is look for water leaks. If you had a water leak, do you currently have any water spots or water damage?

Are there certain materials or ways you can build to minimize your risk of mold?

Ryan 22:28

Using magnesium boards instead of drywall, it doesn't have the paper on it. There's nothing for the mold to grow on and it's breathable.

Can we use bleach on it or paint over it?

Ryan 28:05

It’s the worst thing you can put on mold. It actually makes it worse for two reasons:
- Bleach is 90% water or one,
- It doesn't kill it right away. When you put bleach on it, it gives it enough time for it to realize it's under attack and it releases a lot of mycotoxins and a lot of spores before it has a chance to die.

Gut Health During the Holidays - Interview with Andrew Colombini Nov 04, 2020

Show Summary: Juanique and Tristin share their interview with Andrew Colombini as a part of the Healthy Holiday Summit, which aims to raise awareness about getting through the holidays by choosing delicious, regret-free treats that power over your cravings while making sure you're staying healthy.

Holidays are supposed to be fun and exciting because you celebrate it with your family. You get to eat delicious foods and treats that your mother, aunt, or grandmother prepared for you. But the sad part of being unconscious of what you eat is it takes you away from a healthy lifestyle that can eventually ruin your body's first brain, which is (evolutionary speaking) the gut.

Listen as they give tips on how to maintain your healthy lifestyle while enjoying the rest of the holidays.

How did Juanique and Tristin discover what true health is?

Juanique 3:33

It was really interesting because we were at the same hospital, I was getting my 20 week ultrasound. And then I went three floors up to pick him up from his colonoscopy. And I thought like, the worst news of my day would be, oh, something's wrong with my baby. But I realized, nope, something's wrong with my husband.

Heal the gut, heal the mind

Juanique 9:07

Because you're either in fight or flight or rest and digest, and most of us are chronically in fight or flight. We can't fight or flight and rest and digest at the same time. We really need to work on healing the gut, but then also healing our mind.

We have bad gut health

Andrew 11:00

That's why I really wanted to present this because especially the holidays. We already have bad gut health and now we're gonna add all this other stuff up.

Why are the holidays tough on our gut?

Juanique & Tristin 11:52

Well, it's interesting that you mentioned gluten, because if there's one thing that tends to be associated with holiday foods, it's gluten. It's bread, it's cakes, its rolls. It's all of those things. And the reason why it's super hard on our guts is just because of how wheat is manufactured these days.

Show Summary: In this episode with Dr. David Minkoff, an alternative healthcare expert and the author of BodyHealth Fitness Newsletter and the Optimum Health Report, talks about his journey in starting his practice and clinic. He mentions how Jeffrey Bland, the father of Functional Medicine, inspired him to pursue his career and mission to help people heal from different illnesses.

He shares the possibilities of Prolozone and IV Ozone and how it makes a difference in many problems. It makes athletes run faster, makes sick people feel better, and helps get over their infections and fatigue. He says one special thing about it is the patient's response rate. Eighty percent of his patients who underwent four to six treatments due to chronic long-term back pain, knee pain, or neck problem had extreme pain relief.

Ozone can be used at home too. It clears the air of odors and viruses, and other types of particles. It also improves mitochondria which are the area in the cell where energy is made.

3 Exceptional Highlights:

Ozone is good as a detoxifier, will tailor-bind with things and neutralize them
If the NAD is not ready to get an NADH, if the NADH is still stuck on there, it can't take a new particle to make energy. Ozone resets that so you see people get more energy and you see their brain and their kidneys and their livers function better because the cell can actually make energy better.
There are things in the body that shouldn't be there. And there are things missing from the body that should be there. And if you can figure out what those things are and restore them, then the physiology gets back to the way it's supposed to be.

Show Highlights:

How did Dr. Minkoff start his practice and clinic?

1:58 Dr. Minkoff

When I finished medical school, I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I went to the University of Wisconsin, and I thought I would do a rotating internship.

How do they do Prolozone and what is the effect?

10:30 Dr. Minkoff

We did prolozone, which is injecting ozone into joints and soft tissue areas where there's pain. And we started putting it into bladders for people who have like interstitial cystitis bladder pain.

How do his patients respond to Ozone treatments?

13:18 Dr. Minkoff

In four to six treatments, 80% of the patients that I saw had extreme alleviation of their pain or no pain.

How does Ozone retain the good bacteria while killing the bad ones?

22:34 Dr. Minkoff

Our own cells have in the cell membrane, an enzyme which is called peroxidase. It is able to neutralize ozone. So if ozone comes in as a free radical, it's neutralized by the peroxidase.

If Ozone is a pollutant, why are we wanting to put it all over ourselves??

24:27 Dr. Minkoff

Well, it's not really pollutant, it actually helps with pollution. The ozone layer is actually a protectant.

Heal Your Mitochondria to Heal Your Body Oct 14, 2020

Show Summary: In this episode, Tristin and Juanique discuss the importance of mitochondria, how to make sure that it’s optimally functioning and what destroys and enhances it. All the other treatments and things you do can even make you worse if you don’t pay attention.

They mentioned that a holistic approach is more exponential and beneficial to your health than working out for two hours a day for seven days a week. Extreme workout can destroy your mitochondrial function because our bodies are not designed to carry so much work and stress.

Connecting with nature helps us heal and improves our body function even more. Seeing the sunrise has a physiological effect on our bodies because it stimulates melatonin production, which is very anti-inflammatory and helps boost the immune system, brain function, sleep, and neurological regulation.

8:29 Juanique

How many people listening here are just hitting the gym two hours a day, like seven days a week? They're thinking, What is gonna make me healthy? And then they're sicker, their hormones get worse, they keep gaining weight.

Why do we need to get back to what our species evolved to do?

10:10 Tristin

We need to get back to what our species evolved to do. And the further we get away from what our ancestors did, and the environment they lived in, the sicker we get.

What is a normal stress response cycle and sympathetic state?

17:25 Tristin

Why zebras don't get ulcers. Zebras, if you think about it, they live a very stressful life. They're constantly on the hunt for food, looking for water, oh, and the water is filled with crocodiles that want to eat them.

The Evolution of Mitochondria

21:35 Juanique

I want to talk about the evolution of the mitochondria for a second. Sure, it is theorized by scientists that the mitochondria was the first part of the cell to ever be like to ever be, actually because it is morphed from bacteria.

The Earth heals us

30:02 Tristin

We need positive and negative charge, they need to be balanced. And one of the ways that the human body has traditionally accomplished that is through contact with the Earth.

Show Summary: In this episode, Dr. Anna Cabeca, the Girlfriend Doctor, a certified gynecologist and the author of the books The Hormone Fix and Keto-Green 16, tells us about how we can empower our hormones and restore its balance naturally.

At the age of thirty-nine, she was diagnosed with permanent irreversible infertility and early menopause & she was told she’d never be able to have another child. It made her feel the massive devastation many couples experience because of the inability to produce offspring. But it motivated her to pursue functional medicine, and now through her knowledge and expertise, she had amazingly helped hundreds of women get pregnant.

She mentioned that just by cleaning up the diet, taking out the sugar, the endocrine disrupters, the preservatives, and eating organic foods create a vast difference in our lives and make us feel ninety percent better.

Bread That Won't Kill You - How to Safely Reintroduce Grains Sep 15, 2020

Show Summary: In this episode, Nathan, the founder of Time Traveler's Bakery, shares his health history & journey on how he started his company. He tells why he should watch every food he eats because of his autoimmune disorder. His chronic fatigue began when he was 14 years old up to the mid-20s. He experienced full-body pain from his back, lower and upper shoulders, neck, and head, which made him think that by the time he was 35, he'd probably have some assistance with a walker or wheelchair.

He then decided to go to a therapist and had some elimination diet, where he gradually felt that the pain was decreasing. He cut out some food that helped him overcome his depression and chronic fatigue, but he figured he still lacked the nutrients he needed. He knew he had to do something to get back to gluten and wheat without experiencing extreme pain, and that's how the Time Traveler's Bakery started.

They call their bakery "Time Traveler's bakery" because they believe in the phrase "Back In Time, Back In Health." He says if we go back in time and make it that old way, then autoimmune disorders might not exist anymore.

My body has worth, my spirit has worth, my brain has worth. I need to honor them and let them speak to me.
It’s a balance thing, because we used to care about balance. And now it's all about marketability, right? So they are willing to sacrifice a lot of the underlying function and quality to get a more marketable product. It's like what we do with dogs, right? We breed them into this state where they have hip problems and back problems, nasal problems, eyesight issues, and all of that, but they look really good.
It's so important to reintroduce foods again, and make sure that you are feeding multiple species, multiple foods and you're rotating your foods, and you're eating like 50 different kinds of foods, 100 different kinds of foods, because that's what we did in the old days.

Show Highlights:

Why should you get rid of Glyphosate?

16:00 Nathan

Modern wheat sometimes contains what are called desiccants, which we have referred to one of them as glyphosate. Glyphosates are commonly marketed under the name Roundup. Roundup is weed killer, we do apply it directly to our wheat supply in America.

We're eating the Chihuahua of wheat now.

19:58 Nathan

Think about who dogs’ ancestors were. They wolves righ? Now, think about a Chihuahua. Our modern wheat is literally called dwarf wheat. Our ancient wheat grew tall. I'm six two and it grew almost as tall as me sometimes.

What is Frankenstein food?

21:09 Nathan

Hybridization is very closely linked with GMO. Hybridization is going to be where we take wheat as a type of grass. So we're going to take this type of grass that grows really short and then we're going to crossbreed it with the natural normal wheat that grows really tall.

Just because it's organic, that doesn't mean it can't be heavily hybridized and heavily crossbred.

24:44 Juanique

So it's still hard to digest. It will still tear up your gut. It'll still cause a leaky gut, even though it's organic. Because now you don't have the glyphosate but you still have the high amount of phytic acid which is shelf stable, but not digestible.

Getting To Know Environmental Toxins Sep 01, 2020

Show Summary: Tristin is back! And in this episode with Juanique, they discuss toxins and their burden on human bodies. They mentioned that humans have always been exposed to it since the beginning of time because of the harmful chemicals on pesticides, cosmetics, and perfumes that cause severe illnesses like cancer.

According to Juanique, our bodies should have a high functioning liver to deal with toxins back in the day, not today's toxins. Not feeding the liver with the nutritional food it needs causes dysfunction. Nowadays, the invention of different unhealthy products with harmful chemical content puts our health at a greater risk.

They also shared a story about one of their clients who couldn't find a brand that produces organic spinach with no heavy metal. They said eating leafy greens helps feed your gut and gives you tons of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, but make sure to buy ethically sourced products.

Prevention is so inexpensive compared to treatment.
Bio-organic produce doesn’t allow toxic pesticides when they grow the food. For meats, dairy and egg production, choose pasture raised, organic, grass fed, grass finished and ethically farmed.
If you're buying all the organic things, and then you're feeding your children really crappy food and you're not supporting their liver function, if we are doing all of these things, and we're just going nuts in the organic stuff department, and we are not eating leafy greens, drinking Collagen, taking B vitamins or eating foods with B vitamins like there's no point.

Show Highlights:

The standard American diet doesn't give our livers any support to handle this toxic overload.

3:14 Juanique

Well, in the past hundred years, our exposure to toxins has increased by 2,000%.

The system doesn’t care about our health.

8:27 Tristin

This is not because it's just so difficult and complex. It's not because there's no Science behind it. What we're doing is very scientific. It's very research based.

Fen-phen was dissolving heart valves

17:57 Tristin

Fen-phen was a weight loss drug. They were using it like crazy in the 90s. And then they found out because of people reporting, that it was basically dissolving heart valves.

Chemicals that we are heavily exposed to

20:16 Juanique

But pesticides, guys, this is herbicides, fungicides, insecticides. rodenticides. These are largest like, this is one of the things we're so largely exposed to. And maybe you don't spray your house, like how many people have companies come and spray their homes for pests?

Babies are not safe from toxins

How To Use Essential Oils Properly With Cecilia Salvesen Aug 20, 2020

Show Summary: In this episode, Juanique and Cecilia, talk about what Honestly Essential is and its purpose. They discussed why it is important to properly educate oneself about essential oils before inhaling, drinking, and using it directly onto the skin.

Because of misinformation, different skin conditions arise when using it. Lack of knowledge in understanding which one to use for pregnancy, mental health, stress, and pain separates you from its advantages and benefits and can also harm your health when abused.

The formulation of essential oils should not be complicated, it should be simple. It doesn’t have to contain all the antivirals, antibacterials, antiparasitics. There are proper measurements and limits of each of its content when creating it.
Description: This episode educates you about Essential Oils Formulation. It describes what happens when you use the wrong oil for the wrong reason, and it creates awareness about being vigilant in choosing what you buy and consume because not all Essential Oils are suitable for everyone.

Factors Affecting Male & Female Fertility Aug 11, 2020

Show Summary: In this episode, Juanique and Katie Baker, talk about general guidelines on how to boost the fertility of women and men, which is the struggle of many couples. Many women are getting stressed because of their inability to get pregnant without knowing that male sperm is a massive contributor to it.

Juanique mentioned that a comprehensive meta-analysis of data collected between 1973 and 2011 shows that men from Western countries have a decrease in sperm production of more than fifty percent with no evidence of leveling off, which creates a slim chance of conception.

This problem may have been caused not only by what people eat as adults but also by their childhood food consumption patterns. Fat & protein demonization, exposure to pesticides/herbicides, and too much sugar intake are all significant contributing factors.
Description: This episode educates you about the advantages of knowing the short and long-term effects of every food you take, the importance of checking its label and getting rid of processed goods that are high in sugar.

Illnesses are not only caused by your current food intake but your holistic lifestyle as a kid. Parents are encouraged to teach their children to live a happy, healthy and long life by training them as early as now.

Dr. Elia Gourgouris | How to Navigate A Crisis With The Happiness Doctor Aug 04, 2020

The Covid-19 pandemic has been affecting people at an increasing rate. Drug and alcohol use, as well as suicide rates, have been at an all time high. This crisis has brought on a lot of fear in people’s lives. Due to social distancing, people are more distanced now than they have ever been in our time. The most vulnerable of our population are suffering the most. There are four personality types. The first is the victim who says “Why me?” The second is the critic. The one who criticizes whatever instructions they are given such as wear or don’t wear a mask. The third is the bystander. They are the ones who just watch, are frozen in fear, and do nothing. These first 3 personality types all have something in common, which is they offer no solutions. The fourth type is the navigator. They face issues with positivity. They practice self care, they’re aware of their environment, they’re aware of their surroundings, they’re adaptable and flexible, and then ultimately they take initiative and therefore are able to help others. You don’t want to be stuck in the first three types, but transition to type 4 after the first hour. We have to be able to adapt and get out of our comfort zone in order to get through a trial such as the Coronavirus. People will pay anything for fear and the media uses fear to drive sales and consumption. Unplugging from the media can help you adapt. His book is a masterclass in overcoming a crisis. Physicians weren’t trained for this situation and are oftentimes facing situations they’re not used to. Companies are having to adjust while bringing their employees in to work again. Dr. Elia comes in and helps these companies navigate through getting everything back to how it needs to be. Our job is to reach out to those around us and help them. There is always someone worse off than you. 7 keys for getting through a crisis: 1. Self Care 2. Awareness 3. Flexibility 4. Preparation 5. Initiative 6. Positive attitude 7. Kindness. It’s ok to be in the first three personality types, but just for an hour. Make sure you transition out of it and move forward in life.

Your Liver Needs a Reset | Detoxification and Liver Function Jul 28, 2020

Juanique and Tristin discuss the importance of detoxification, why it can stop working very efficiently, what happens to you when it stops working efficiently, and how you can supercharge it to get yourself back on a healing pathway. The liver is an essential piece of hormone management. The liver has over 500 functions in the body. Our modern environment seems to be terrible at making us healthy. Many foods that we eat have plenty of added chemicals and pesticides that our bodies are not meant to digest. Living a heavily stressful lifestyle can affect your liver negatively. Not only are foods unhealthy for us in modern society, but are also highly addictive. Three phases of detoxification. Phase 1) Bioactivation. Liver sends out enzymes to tag the toxins in your system letting your body know they are present. Phase 2) Conjugation phase. Your liver adds little molecules to the tagged toxins, so they are either water soluble or fat soluble. Phase 3) Flush toxins out of your body through urination or defecation. In some people, their phase two is not working properly, so their body will try and find the nearest exit, which can often be the skin. Phase 2 is very dependent on the foods you eat. When we eat unhealthy foods, oily, sugary foods, we aren’t giving our bodies the necessary tools it needs to digest properly, so things begin to shut down. Either you’re eating things that can contribute to eliminating toxins, or you’re eating things that your body needs to eliminate. Fiber is absolutely essential to the digestive system. If you don’t defecate regularly, your body is marinating in your feces. You need to get rid of those toxins. The liver produces bile, and bile is an emulsifier for fats, which help us to absorb fatty acids. So things can get caught in a vicious cycle when the liver isn’t doing well. Liver damage can happen from unhealthy fats and sugars. Your ears can indicate issues with your liver, such as ringing. Many issues around your body can be linked back to your liver. Even your sex hormones can be negatively impacted. There are three parts to healing your liver. Part 1 is nutrition. Start your first week eliminating fruits to help the liver get back on its feet because it will lighten the workload on your liver. Our program comes with meal plans for you. The other thing you’re eliminating is other things that are putting a lot of strain on your liver, such as coffee. Part 2 is supplements. SP Cleanse is an incredibly food based liver nutrient rich product that is entirely food based. You will be taking 7 of these per day. Part 3 is lifestyle factors. How are you taking care of what is in your heart and in your mind? Emotional toxicity in your life can create stress, which directly affects your physical health. The liver is the anger organ. When you get angry, your liver is impacted. Connect with people. Go outside. Do what will improve your mood and mental health. If you want meaningful and fundamental changes in your health, then you have to make meaningful and fundamental changes in your whole life. Not just in your digestive health.

“A blood test is not going to tell you [if something is wrong with your liver]… Your liver enzymes only get elevated when there is already damage going on. It is not a measure of liver function. It’s a measure of liver damage. So just because your liver isn’t damaged doesn’t mean your liver is doing what it’s supposed to do. So if your liver enzymes look totally normal, but all of your inflammation markers like CRP, Homocysteine, Fibrinogen, Ferritin. If they’re all super elevated, there’s a decent chance there’s something going on with your liver.

Why Doctors Dont Listen | Interview With Dr. John Sanders Jul 21, 2020

We have a culture of doctors who just don’t listen. It’s partially their fault and partially not. He’s a family physician. Has done dermatology, pediatrics, chiropractic work. About 70% of his energy is put to a computer rather than to a patient and understanding them. We don’t have doctors running the hospitals. Instead they’re run by business men, which can be a conflict between doctors, who focus more on patients, and administrators, who focus more on the system. In some states it’s illegal for non physicians to own clinics. The corporations running the health systems tend to be more concerned about the investor than the patients. The typical doctor feels restraints of the system. The problem is there is no time to create trust. There are usually multiple patients waiting in the next room, so the doctor has no time to linger or listen to you for long. As doctors own their own practice, they will have more time to meet with patients and really find out what’s going on with each individual patient. We have to change the whole model in order to provide the care that people need. By giving quick diagnoses, doctors have made themselves obsolete in a way. The system prevents them from having a higher quality diagnosis. Each office visit pays the same whether the doctor addresses 2 things or 10 things, so in this way the system doesn’t support the patient. Most Docs are risk averse and not entrepreneurial. They need a better model to better help the patient. The art of medicine is spending more time with and taking better care of people. It makes the life of a doctor so much better and more fulfilling. It takes more than just a few to change the system. We need the middle class and upper class to bring about change. The middle class needs to invest in their local direct primary care (DPC) clinic. Every dollar you put towards your local DPC is money that will help them grow and therefore help your community. Dr. John Sanders doesn’t charge another copay if they haven’t gotten to the bottom of his patients’ problem, even if you have spent an hour trying to find the problem. Sometimes patients can even send him a text with a picture of the issue, and he can reply to them letting them know if it’s a bigger deal or not. America consumes 45% of the medication in the world, even though it only contains 5% of the overall population. DPC’s can prevent you from having too much medication shoved in your face.

Dr. Ronda Nelson and Pregnancy | Best Health Practice During Pregnancy Jul 14, 2020

In this episode, we meet Dr. Ronda Nelson, an expert on keeping yourself healthy during pregnancy. Talking negatively about your body can affect your mental state, and therefore affect your physical health. What you say and what you say can negatively or positively affect your physical well being. Foods which contain folic acids and other vitamins are always better than supplements. Avoid synthetics. Her rule for her first trimester is to focus only on food rather than supplements. Find a prenatal that comes from food. Eat beets during the first trimester. Egg yolks are great for pregnancies. Postpartum depression comes from a lack of minerals in your brain. Using Bentonite clay will help a lot with indigestion. Salt can help prevent eclampsia during pregnancy. Vaginal microbiome is a mirror of the rectal microbiome. Change the PH of the vaginal canal by using coconut oil or using a probiotic inserted vaginally. Anything we consume or that occurs more than is in nature is too much.

Sustainable Food Production and the Argument for (Better) Meat | Diana Rodgers Jul 07, 2020

On today’s episode, we talk with Diana Rodgers, registered dietitian (https://sustainabledish.com/). We begin our conversation by talking about the myths surrounding the consumption of meat that are dispelled by Diana’s new book, Sacred Cow: The Case for (Better) Meat: Why Well-Raised Meat Is Good for You and Good for the Planet (https://www.sacredcow.info/book). These are that meat is unhealthy, that meat is bad for the planet, and that the consumption of meat is unethical. She speaks about her life on an organic farm, and her observations about sustainable food production. We discuss how you can get nutrients out of meat that you can’t get out of plants, and how researched is misinterpreted and misused. In terms of nutrition, we talk about the evidence against meat (including The China Study published by BenBella Books, the same publisher of Sacred Cow), and how population studies that adjust for confounding factors are the most accurate. The findings of these studies show that links to meat and health defects like colon cancer are very weak. We talk about the “faux science” behind the EAT-Lancet Commission Summary report and common narratives that vilify eating meat. The average steer gets their diet from actual grains, but from grass and up-cycled materials, so the issue of “good meat, bad meat” isn’t as black and white as we think. We explain how beef is a low source of Omega 3’s, and how the argument for eating only better meat is less accurate from a nutritional standpoint than it is from an environmental standpoint. We discuss what questions we should be asking when it comes to buying meat. Diana refers us to http://eatwild.com/, https://www.localharvest.org/, and her own course, Meat Curious (https://www.sacredcow.info/), which includes the ultimate guide to ethical sourcing. We then talk about regenerative agriculture and the effect of biogenic methane on the environment, showing that well-managed cattle are a net carbon gain for our environment and figure part of the water cycle. Grazing animals are one of our best tools for mitigating climate change, because they sequester more carbon than they give off in greenhouse gasses, and most U.S. land is better suited for grazing than crop production, which produces a lot of greenhouse gasses. We talk about how the most significant ethical argument should be against the massive destruction of life from large-scale crop production. We talk about how we should push for well-managed herds of animals instead of barren land. We warn against uninformed bias impacting policy like “Meatless Mondays.” We talk about the bonus material that you can receive when you pre-order Sacred Cow before July 14th (https://www.sacredcow.info/book)! Please support better health, ethics, and the environment by pre-ordering!

Go Outside | How To Feel Better and Reduce Exposure to Indoor Toxins Jul 02, 2020

In this episode, we talked to Ryan Blaser (https://testmyhome.com/ryan-blaser), a specialist in EMF’s. He was featured on previous episodes, EMFs and Environmental Stressors and EMFs Revisited. We talk about all the synthetic materials that surround us in our homes, adversely affecting our health by off-gassing harmful frequencies. We focus on the harm that can come from artificial lighting. We discuss the adverse effects of too much exposure to light from screens, CFLs, and fluorescent lights, explaining how it has proven to cause sleep disorders, ADD and ADHD, depression, seizures, melanomas of the eye, etc. We talk about how artificial lights can alter our circadian rhythms, talking about their potential influence on adrenal fatigue, cortisol production, and mitochondrial function, as demonstrated by the 2pm slump. We give suggestions for reducing exposure to artificial blue light and getting more exposure to natural lights. We talk about ways to reduce screen time or make it more healthy (through screen time apps or apps like https://justgetflux.com/). We discuss addictions to digital media because of artificial, immediate, endorphin-producing rewards. We talk about how social media and gaming are shaping social interactions. We talk about the rewards of outdoor activity, as well as the benefits of media fasts (including how we have included it in our liver reset program at Provo Health). We urge parents to consider the development of the brain chemistry of your kids, and limit their screen time accordingly. We invite you to keep the windows open for a couple hours every day to flush out stale air and harmful particulates. We give you an important tip to open the window and use the exhaust fan when cooking with a gas stove to reduce carbon monoxide exposure. We advise that you change your HVAC filters at least every 3-4 months, and look for a quality filter with a MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rating of at least 13. We recommend that you avoid all chemical or synthetic fragrances like Febreze. We recommend you look up and review the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) of all household products you use. We discuss how, while some are only concerned with high concentrations of toxic ingredients, the micro doses we receive across all the synthetic products are making us sicker than we’ve ever been before. Products are never tested in combinations like these -- only individually. We talk about titanium dioxide, used in beauty products, and even supplements, and how it can cause gut inflammation and other diseases. We warn that synthetic materials can be endocrine-disruptors, stunting growth in children and causing infertility and hormonal imbalances in growing people. We talk about the micro toxins that can come from molds, and how easily mold can develop in our homes.

“The problem is a lot of homes these days are built with unnatural building products, synthetic products, products that don’t breathe, that off-gas VOC’s (Volatile organic compounds). So, one of the big ones is lighting -- you know, unnatural lighting. Our eyes need the sun. And when we use these unnatural lights -- like CFLs that flicker, and they have liquid mercury in them -- they put off EMSs. And then fluorescent lights the same way. That’s a big one. And then the chemicals that we bring into the house. All of our cosmetics, beauty supplies, all of the furniture we bring in is off-gassing. And since Covid has gone on, some people aren’t leaving their house at all.” 6:24

Educating Yourself to Help Your Children | Patient Participation in Health Care Jun 23, 2020

Today, we talk with Rachel, one of our clients, who has been fighting to learn about her son, Boston’s unique medical condition, and advocating hard for proper medical diagnosis and treatment for him. It began with two lumps on his neck and face, which started to swell and pus. She shares the development of Boston’s condition, including how her pediatrician’s recommendation of antibiotics made no change, and how, seeing her son’s condition worsen, she tried to boost his immune system, change his diet, and search for more answers. She went to a naturopath, who figured it was a lymphatic issue, and first recommended a homeopathic approach to drain and rebound the lymph system. When that didn’t work, the naturopath recommended antibiotics, which were also ineffective. Rachel also cut dairy and gluten out of Boston’s diet. Finally, when she was a new naturopath, she learned about the option of culturing the lumps, and discovered that it was a staph infection. As she continued looking for a solution, she didn’t want to continue with antibiotics, because they had already failed twice, and this pushed her to look for natural treatments that reach the source of the issue without compromising his immune system in the long term. That’s where she found Provo Health, where a DNA hair test showed the unique weaknesses in his immune system, and they were able to begin their treatment with the autoimmune protocol. He was also put on the stealth pathogens protocol, and they saw more change over 6 weeks than there were over a year. The inflammation has gone down and there are just scars left. We talk about the personal change that occurred in Rachel over the course of her journey towards health and healing, allowing her to adapt to the overhaul of her lifestyle that came with it. We emphasize the importance of giving yourself time and grace, so that a change to a healthier lifestyle is at a proper pace that doesn’t add to anxiety. We recognize the importance of a supportive community, focusing on the positive and avoiding shaming when striving for a healthier lifestyle. We invite you to look into our cookbook, which you can order here: gutsy.ch/howtoheal. We then discuss how we should all be active participants in health care as opposed to passive recipients. We talk about how Provo Health can help with all these things.

Staying Safe in the Sun | Health Benefits of Sun Exposure and How To Avoid Sun Damage Jun 16, 2020

Today’s episode is all about sun safety, debunking myths and promoting the healthiest practices for keeping safe during hot summer days. We begin our conversation by discussing the history behind why the sun is commonly viewed as dangerous and detrimental to our health, focusing on how modern medicine has blamed the sun for causing cancer and melanoma. We explain how this fear of cancer from the sun is unfounded and illogical, and how it is more important to focus on how much our body benefits from the sun by increasing vitamin D levels and strengthening our immune system. We take you through the things that actually cause melanoma and skin cancer, such as irregular sun exposure and improper filtering of artificial light, as well as the blocking of the endocannabinoid system and endorphin pathways, which are both stimulated by being out in the sun. Another is tissue calcium depletion, and that leads us into a discussion of the best ways to supplement calcium, as well as the ingredients to efficient calcium absorption. We explain how sunblock is not the most effective preventative measure, because it only filters out UVB rays, whereas UVA rays are the ones that cause cancer. We also talk about how it can limit vitamin D absorption, and point out that, while it is good for preventing burns in the moment, it is not a long-term solution because people have been using sunblock for years and skin cancer rates are still going up. We instead recommend working your way up to longer periods of sun exposure, as well as the use of an infrared sauna or a Sperti Vitamin D lamp (https://www.sperti.com/product/sperti-vitamin-d-light-box/). We also recommend limiting your exposure to artificial light by spending more time outside, using blue light filters, and timing your sleep with the rising and setting of the sun. We talk about the best supplements to help your body prevent sun damage (you can find a list here: http://gutsy.ch/sun). We recommend supplementing Vitamin E, Vitamin C, collagen, and using chlorophyll complex (watch out, it stains green!) and USF ointment (the paste form of Cataplex® F).

That is the perfect recipe for melanoma.” 34:04

The Dangers of Glyphosate | How to Limit Your Exposure to Harmful Pesticides Jun 09, 2020

In today’s episode, we talk about glyphosate, which is a systemic herbicide and crop desiccant. We begin our discussion by sharing a negative review of our show and discuss the questions it brings up about medical authority. We reaffirm that our platform is to firmly advocate medical freedom and personal choice when it comes to their own health. We then encourage anyone who believes in freedom or has been the victim of oppression (at the hands of medical professionals or otherwise) has the obligation to listen to the voices crying for freedom as part of the Black Lives Matter Movement. We talk about the effects of the Mansfield Amendment in 1969, which took away all of the neutral funding set aside by the government and military for 3rd party scientists to research health topics. We explain how this has introduced bias (most of the time subconscious) into the reports and findings of scientists in the favor of the agendas of those who are now funding them. We discuss the evidence for harmful effects of glyphosate and all the ways it can be manifest in what we consume. One example is that glyphosate affects pituitary functions in the body by disrupting manganese levels. We then focus on how you can reduce your exposure to glyphosate, inviting you to find out which foods have the highest exposure to pesticides and other chemicals (search for the “dirty dozen” on https://www.ewg.org). As part of this, we give you a list of foods sprayed mostly with glyphosate, which includes a lot of grains. We emphasize the importance of buying organic and growing your own foods. We invite you to follow Zach Bush (https://zachbushmd.com/), or go ask questions on https://scholar.google.com/ or https://duckduckgo.com/ to learn more about this and similar subjects.

“I would say 9 out of 10 of our clients that come to us have an inability to digest food properly. They have heartburn, they’re bloated, they’re gassy all the time, they’re uncomfortable when they eat, they have indigestion, and they ask, ‘why? Why do I have this?’ And, in a nutshell, I say, well, aging and inflammatory foods. Glyphosate is an inflammatory molecule on these inflammatory foods.” 27:37

The Antinutrients Strike Back | Choosing and Preparing Foods to Improve Digestion Jun 02, 2020

Today’s episode is all about antinutrients. We define them as substances found in foods that cause problems in the body sometimes -- meaning, they are not always harmful to everyone. We talk more in-depth about the food sources and potential harmful effects of specific antinutrients such as Phytic Acid, Lectins, Goitrogens, and Oxalates. We discuss how to prepare foods high in antinutrients to reduce digestive issues. We give you tips on how to adjust your diet if you are particularly sensitive to one of these antinutrients, as well as how to determine whether you do have a sensitivity. We give options for those who have high sensitivities to many antinutrients, such as using certain diets -- like autoimmune paleo and elemental -- as stepping stones to rebalance.

Information Censorship and Health Freedom May 19, 2020

Most episodes we talk about healing the body and at times we also talk about healing the mind. Today we talk about healing our country. There is a lot of heated debate and contention within our country and we want to talk about how to have a more open dialogue. Less separation and more coming together. We talk about how we can try to fix the system rather than blaming those that are putting their life on the line. We also talk about how our health system is rather broken right now. We hope that this episode can motivate you to become active and stand up for what you believe.

Children's Nutrition and Behavioral/Emotional Health Feb 04, 2020

In this episode Gutsy Health, we further the discussion on children’s behavior. As parents, we often see their behavior through adult eyes and don’t notice the hidden messages that our children are giving. They don't always know how to express their emotions in words, so instead, they show it through their behavior. We talk about how food and exposure to man-made creations can affect the behavior and mental health of our children. Let’s find healing at the root of the problem and stop putting a bandaid on the issue.
