Episode 120: Pamela Salzman on the Italian-Inspired Art of Cooking Clean, Nutritious, and Delicious Meals Sep 15, 2020

In this episode of Nateurious, you’ll learn from a fellow Italian and expert on quick, nutritious cooking, Pamela Salzman. With a popular blog, two cookbooks, online cooking classes, and a 4-week plant-based bootcamp, Pamela has shown that healthy meals can be made in just 30 minutes, so long as you use the proper ingredients and cookware.

Many people don’t realize the amount of toxins present in their daily diets. By making some simple changes—like opting for tomatoes packaged in glass jars instead of aluminum cans, using unrefined oils, and steering clear of non-stick pans—you can dramatically reduce your exposure to heavy metals. Not only will this improve your overall health, it will give you youthful, glowing skin (an absolute must for my Agent Nateur women).

Needless to say, this episode is guaranteed to change the way you think about healthy eating. Tune in to learn all about Pamela’s new book, Quicker Than Quick, her efficient approach to making family meals, the secret to purchasing clean ingredients without breaking the bank, key ways to streamline the way you cook, and more.

Episode 118: Rick Allen on the importance of water filtration in the entire home and what you can do to improve your health Aug 25, 2020

The story of how fluoride became added to the drinking water in the United States is shocking. Even more outrageous, though we now know the dangers of fluoridated water (osteoporosis, cancer, bone lesions, etc.), there is still little that can be done to stop the lobbying that forces municipalities to put untested fluoride in their community’s water.

This is why it’s so important that we take our health into our own hands and work with someone we trust to filter all of the water coming into our homes, not just our drinking water. In this inspiring episode of Nateurious, Rick Allen shares the ugly truth about our nation’s tap water and offers valuable tips on how to find the best filtration system for your lifestyle and budget.

Episode 113: Dr. Carrie Jones on how understanding your hormones will revolutionize your health Jul 07, 2020

Women’s health has been left out of the conversation in Western medicine for too long. Fortunately, naturopathic MDs—like Dr. Carrie Jones—are here to change that. Dr. Jones describes herself as a “modern doc with a holistic bent who can appreciate the best of both worlds,” and I think that attitude is precisely what we need to find the harmonious middle ground between functional and Western medicine.

I have so much respect for Dr. Jones and her approach to women’s health, and I can’t wait to share her brilliance with you. In this conversation, we cover a wide range of pertinent topics including natural and hormonal methods of birth control, how gut health affects reproductive health, how to prepare for menopause, and why your cycle may be out of whack when you’re stressed (something I think many of us can relate to right now).

Episode 112: Michael Nourse on what vedic astrology has to say about COVID, American politics, and human destiny Jun 30, 2020

Michael Nourse is a vedic astrologer who believes his role is to create a forum where people can align with their highest selves. With a science-based mind and a passion for understanding, Michael first began studying astrology as a hobby. But once he became acquainted with his own astrological grid, it was clear that it was his destiny.

I had my first reading with Michael in late 2018, and what he told me has shaped the course of my life. At the time, I was using my social media to speak hard truths about vaccines and monsanto. This came with a lot of backlash, which is something Michael picked up on immediately when he looked at my chart. He advised me to protect my energy and speak with diplomacy, which has since allowed me to discover new ways to use my voice that are more in alignment with who I am.

Episode 110: Lauren Napier on racial economic inequality and how we can make a difference Jun 16, 2020

Lauren Napier, founder of Lauren Napier Beauty, is no stranger to racism in her personal life and as a business-owner in the beauty world. When she first came up with the idea to create eco-friendly makeup wipes, she knew her products would be for all people, no matter their race—but, unfortunately, this business model isn’t unanimously practiced in the wellness industry.

Lauren is on a mission to educate people on the realities of systemic racism and use her experience to help Black Women-led businesses get the funding they need with the Consider Something Better initiative.

In this timely conversation, Lauren tells us just a few of her many experiences with racism and offers insight on how we can stand in solidarity and make a meaningful difference. She touches on the history of racism, policing, and protesting while offering tangible ways you can support, speak out, and be anti-racist from an economic perspective.

Episode 109: Wade Lightheart on how to supplement your nutrient-deficient diet and take back your health May 26, 2020

Meet Wade Lightheart, the president of BiOptimizers, 3-time bodybuilding champion, author, and expert on gut health and fitness optimization. I’m thrilled to have Wade on today’s episode to talk about all things diet and nutrition for holistic wellbeing… and to get his take on the main thing on everyone’s mind right now: COVID-19.

This conversation was a personal one for me. Much like my own health issues guided me to the world of natural medicine, Wade went through a series of formative experiences that sparked his interest in supplements and nutrition. At age 15, Wade’s family moved to a remote village in New Brunswick and his older sister was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease. As a coping mechanism, he channeled his time and energy into bodybuilding, a decision would fundamentally change the course of his life.

In this episode of Natuerious, we have the opportunity to glean knowledge from a gut-health virtuoso. You’ll learn about the importance of enzymes in digestion, which supplements all Americans should be taking, why you shouldn’t trust every single medical study, plus some behavioral and attitudinal changes you can make that will dramatically improve the quality of your life — both today and in the uncertain future.

Episode 108: June Florence on the importance of trusting your intuition in a society dominated by Western medicine May 18, 2020

June Florence’s personal battle with breast cancer gave her all the proof she needed to trust in her body’s intuition. After a round of chemo treatments and two lumpectomies, she followed her instinct to Maui where she pursued alternative medicine, changed her diet, and ultimately recovered.

It was my struggle with endometriosis and adenomyosis that first brought us together. Since June and I began working together, I’ve embraced natural enzymatic treatment methods that have broken down some of the scar tissue caused by my endometriosis, resulting in pain-free monthly cycles and improved digestion. Her presence in my life has taught me so much about holistic medicine, and in this episode of Nateurious, I invite her to share her learnings with you. We cover the impact of enzymes on genetic expression and inflammation, lifestyle changes that may slow signs of aging, and the reasons you are qualified to make instinctual decisions when it comes to your own body.
