The Cancer Diet Debate: What Really Works? With James Templeton May 13, 2026

Listen Online: About this episode:

Together, The First Lady of Nutrition and James Templeton, CEO of UNI KEY Health, author of I Used to Have Cancer, and a 40+ year stage 4 cancer survivor, tackle one of the most debated questions in health: What is the best diet to beat cancer?

Drawing from his personal journey and decades of experience, James shares why he believes diet is the most critical factor in healing—and why removing sugar (including excess carbohydrates) is absolutely essential. He explores the pros and cons of popular approaches like vegan, paleo, keto, and macrobiotic diets, and explains why he ultimately leans toward an anti-fungal, anti-candida style of eating—focused on clean protein, healthy fats, and minimal sugar. Listeners will also hear his take on fermented foods like sauerkraut and kimchi, the role of fruit, and why grains and dairy can be problematic for some individuals.

James also reflects on the diet that helped him recover—and why it wasn’t the same diet he used to maintain long-term health.

From Trauma to Transformation: The Christopher Lee Maher Story Apr 29, 2026

Listen Online:
About this episode:

The First Lady of Nutrition recently interviewed Christopher Lee Maher, a retired U.S. Navy SEAL with a powerful story. He explores whether issues like anxiety, persistent patterns, or stress responses may have origins beyond ourselves.

In this candid conversation, Christopher shares with Ann Louise how years of unresolved trauma and deeply rooted beliefs led to his body literally shutting down—and what it took to rebuild from the inside out. They talk about generational patterns, including addiction and alcoholism, and how they can quietly shape your life until you recognize them.

Christopher also explains a fascinating turning point that often happens between ages twenty-seven and thirty-one—a time when many people are unknowingly forced to confront the emotional patterns they’ve carried for years. Move through it, and life can shift. Avoid it, and those same struggles can repeat. He also connects the dots between stress and the body—how it can show up as anxiety, depression, fatigue, or even chronic illness—and why changing your internal “programming” may be one of the most overlooked keys to healing.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns you can’t explain… this conversation may give you a completely new way to look at your health—and your future.

Could a Simple Misalignment Change Your Life? Apr 15, 2026

Listen Online:
About this episode:

In this not-to-be-missed interview, The First Lady of Nutrition sits down with Dr. Scott Crawford, her personal practitioner and a leading upper cervical chiropractor, to uncover how a subtle misalignment in the atlas—-the top vertebra that supports the skull—-may be at the root of a wide range of symptoms.

With an estimated nearly 65% of people affected by some degree of atlas misalignment, this issue is far more common than most realize. Dr. Crawford explains how it may contribute to headaches, migraines, vertigo, and even behavioral challenges such as ADHD and schizophrenia—while also revealing why “tech neck” is becoming increasingly common in today’s screen-driven world.

About this episode:

In this engaging conversation, The First Lady of Nutrition talks with Dr. David Brownstein—one of the world’s leading authorities on iodine—to unpack a topic that’s quietly impacting millions. If you’ve ever been confused about iodine, this is the interview you can’t afford to miss. Dr. Brownstein explains why iodine is an essential nutrient the body simply cannot function without, why modern diets are no longer supplying enough, and how iodine levels today are dramatically lower than they were just a few decades ago. He breaks down the critical role iodine plays in thyroid function, breast health, brain health, and even cancer prevention—while addressing the alarming rise in thyroid disorders and thyroid cancer.

Ann Louise and Dr. Brownstein also dive into the practical side—what forms of iodine actually work, including the history and clinical relevance of Lugol’s Solution, the difference between iodine and iodide, and why a combination approach may be key. They discuss how proper iodine support may reduce the need for thyroid hormone medication in some cases, how much iodine the average adult truly needs, and why individuals with glandular conditions may require more.

You’ll also learn the best ways to test iodine levels, the surprising dietary factors that enhance iodine absorption, and the far-reaching consequences of deficiency—from fatigue and weight gain to neurological issues. This is a must-listen for anyone serious about optimizing thyroid health and understanding one of the most overlooked nutrients in modern medicine.

Can Oxygen Therapy Help REVERSE MS? Mar 04, 2026

Listen Online:
About this episode:

In this powerful episode, the First Lady of Nutrition sits down with Juliette Harch — multiple sclerosis survivor and wife of renowned hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) pioneer Dr. Paul Harch — to explore one of the most under-discussed tools in neurological recovery: oxygen under pressure.

Juliette shares how her eyesight was failing, her energy collapsing, and her body quietly signaling that something was very wrong. She opens up about the possible triggers behind her diagnosis — including heavy diet soda consumption and mercury dental fillings — and how targeted hyperbaric therapy helped restore her vitality. Ann Louise and Juliette also discuss today’s growing wave of concussions and traumatic brain injuries in both children and adults, and why untreated head injuries can quietly alter behavior, cognition, and long-term brain health.

Juliette explains why dose and precision matter profoundly in HBOT — and how the right protocol can mean the difference between incremental change and meaningful neurological recovery. Ann Louise adds insight from her own injury experience, deepening the discussion even further.

If you or someone you love is navigating MS, brain injury, or cognitive decline, this conversation may shift how you think about healing.

The Forgotten Toxicity of MSG and the New Breed of Poisons Feb 18, 2026

Listen Online:
About this episode:

What begins as a conversation about MSG quickly expands into a much larger discussion. The First Lady of Nutrition welcomes back board-certified neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock to explore excitotoxins — compounds such as glutamate that overstimulate brain cells and often appear on labels under disguised names. He explains how these additives may influence addiction, neurological health, and why they are far more common in the U.S. food supply than in many European countries.

The interview also covers neurodegenerative disease, the role of glutamate in cancer growth, and ways to calm excess glutamate activity. Ann Louise and Dr. Blaylock also discuss key nutrients, including high-dose benfotiamine and other B vitamins, and why many neurological conditions like Parkinson’s may be linked to thiamine deficiency.

The conversation then broadens to immune function and COVID-related concerns, including neurological effects and post-illness immune changes, along with nutrients and flavonoids involved in regulating the p-53 gene. What starts with food additives ultimately becomes a wider look at how modern exposures may be shaping brain health today.

The Promise of Lithium for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and MS Feb 04, 2026

Listen Online:
About this episode:
In this thought-provoking conversation, Ann Louise Gittleman sits down with neurologist Dr. Thomas Guttuso, Jr., author of The Promise of Lithium, to explore the emerging role of carefully dosed lithium in neurodegenerative disease. Why is Parkinson’s now the fastest-growing neurological disease? Dr. Guttuso explains what’s driving the surge, how Parkinson’s differs from Parkinsonism, and why men are diagnosed more often than women. He also introduces what he calls the brain’s “Bermuda Triangle” — a vulnerable region tied to progressive neuron loss — and shares insight into a promising blood marker, neurofilament light (NFL), that may help track early damage. From there, the conversation turns to why dose and form are everything when it comes to lithium — and how the small amounts he uses clinically differ dramatically from the psychiatric doses most people associate with the mineral. He also addresses timing, prevention, L-Dopa, and whether early support could change the trajectory of these conditions. If you’re concerned about Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, stroke, MS, or simply protecting long-term brain health, this interview offers a grounded and science-driven perspective on a mineral that may hold broader implications than many realize.

A Rare Conversation with One of the Longest-Living Stage 4 Cancer Survivors — And the Mineral Secret That Changed Everything Jan 21, 2026

Listen Online:
About this episode:
What if one of the biggest reasons we age faster, feel weaker, and lose resilience has nothing to do with hormones or calories — but with minerals? In this rare and deeply personal interview, Ann Louise Gittleman sits down with James Templeton, founder of UNI KEY Health and one of the longest-living Stage 4 melanoma survivors in the world, to reveal why minerals may be the missing link to cellular strength, energy, and longevity.

James shares why, after decades of studying nutrition and formulating supplements, he became convinced that minerals are more important than almost anything else we put into our bodies. He explains why modern soil depletion has left most people unknowingly deficient, how mineral loss weakens our cells like a drained battery, and why he went on a global search for the purest mineral source on Earth — ultimately leading to the creation of Mineral-Key, a liquid blend of more than 72 ancient trace minerals from a prehistoric mineral bed millions of years old.

Along the way, James opens up about his own cancer journey, what he’s learned from interviewing top cancer experts and survivors through the Templeton Wellness Foundation, and the rare trace minerals most people have never heard of — yet desperately need. If you’ve ever wondered how to help your body stay younger, stronger, and more resilient at the cellular level, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

The Secrets of the Perfect Protein Jan 07, 2026

Listen Online:
About this episode:

In this episode, The First Lady of Nutrition sits down with Dr. David Minkoff, author of The Search for the Perfect Protein, for a deep and eye-opening conversation about why protein may be one of the most misunderstood—and underestimated—nutrients in modern health. A former vegetarian and lifelong athlete, Dr. Minkoff shares what decades of clinical experience have taught him about amino acid deficiency, protein malnourishment, and why so many people struggle with fatigue, weight gain, weak bones, and poor recovery despite “eating enough.”

Together, Ann Louise and Dr. Minkoff explore how the body actually uses protein, why absorption matters more than intake, and how gut health, stomach acid, and even acid-blocking medications can quietly interfere with rebuilding muscle, skin, bone, and nerve tissue. Dr. Minkoff explains his concept of “protein turnover”—the idea that your body is constantly rebuilding itself—and why amino acid sufficiency becomes more critical with age, especially for women concerned about bone density and balance.

They also touch on the carnivore diet, leaky gut, pre-digested amino acids, and why protein isn’t just for athletes—it’s fundamental at every age and stage of life. It’s a practical, science-based conversation that may change how you think about protein, healing, and what your body truly needs to repair and thrive.

About this episode:

The First Lady of Nutrition welcomes Lauren Vaknine, and for anyone living with rheumatoid arthritis, this is a story you won’t want to miss. Diagnosed with juvenile RA just before her second birthday, Lauren was wheelchair-bound by 18 with every joint in her body locked. Most people would have lost hope—but not Lauren, and not her mother.

Lauren’s mom had already defied convention years earlier, saying no to steroids and choosing homeopathy instead. That decision opened the door to a lifetime of natural healing. At 21, Lauren had her own turning point: realizing her recovery was in her hands, she committed to rebuilding her health one choice at a time.

Now, more than 11 years in remission, Lauren shares with Ann Louise the practices that made the difference—whole, organic foods instead of processed ones, key supplements like magnesium, cod liver oil, and black seed oil, and daily rituals with turmeric and frankincense that continue to keep her strong.

From a child defined by illness to a global voice in holistic health, Lauren’s message is both simple and powerful: the body knows how to heal when we give it what it needs.

The New Truth About Mold: The Silent Saboteur Behind Many Common Health Problems – Episode 197: Doug Kaufmann Jun 25, 2025

Listen Online: About this episode:

Since 1999, Doug Kaufmann’s TV show Know the Cause has warned millions about the fungus factor most doctors overlook. Hot on the heels of Ann Louise’s viral Facebook post—where she told her followers about her personal battle with mold—the two leading edge pioneers dive straight into the latest evidence about how fungi and their poisons, mycotoxins, may be fueling everything from rising PSA scores to stubborn skin flare-ups and even those stubborn coughs. Kaufmann walks listeners through a 2022 pan-cancer study that found fungal DNA in every one of 35 tumor types, explains why corn tops the mycotoxin list, and shows how our antifungal defenses weaken with age.

Kaufmann outlines a no-nonsense plan: slash the sugars and refined carbs mold lives on, fortify with binders like psyllium plus immune staples such as vitamin D-3 and zinc, and confirm the problem with smart testing. His first choice is an IgM antibody screen—a quick blood draw that flags an active fungal fight—followed by a RealTime Labs urine panel and targeted cultures to pinpoint the load before treatment.

If aches, brain fog, or “mystery” lab numbers refuse to budge, this conversation offers a new lens—and an action plan—to clear mold from the shadows and reclaim your health. Catch the episode, grab the steps that resonate, and learn more at KnowTheCause.com.

Join Ann Louise Gittleman, the First Lady of Nutrition, as she delves into a thought-provoking conversation with Sally Norton, a distinguished educator, speaker, and health consultant.

According to Norton, if you’re eating a healthy diet and you’re still dealing with fatigue, inflammation, anxiety, recurrent injuries, or chronic pain, the problem could be your spinach, almonds, sweet potatoes, and other trusted plant foods. And your key to vibrant health may be quitting these so-called superfoods that are filled with oxalates.

Ann Louise Gittleman Interviews Brian Hoyer

Over ten years ago, pioneering nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman wrote a groundbreaking book called “Zapped: Why Your Cell Phone Shouldn’t Be Your Alarm Clock and 1,268 Ways to Outsmart the Hazards of Electronic Pollution.” At that time, she had her own home mitigated for EMFs and environmental toxins. She recently decided to invite Brian Hoyer, a leading EMF mitigation specialist, to update and access any new findings. Interestingly enough, Brian’s findings were jaw dropping for Ann Louise and family. While the house was fairly clean environmentally, the only issue that was a red flag was the bedroom window where there were strong EMF emissions from a radio tower across the river where Ann Louise’s house is built. The EMF emissions registered extremely hazardous on Brian’s scale and were known to incite oxidative stress, issues with neurotransmitters, and blood brain barrier leaks. Needless to say, with Ann Louise’s history of a concussion and a traumatic brain injury, this was a huge aha moment! Join Ann Louise and Brian Hoyer as they delve into a fascinating discussion, covering topics such as EMF shielding and its importance, the negative effects of EMF exposure, the need for a healing environment, dealing with ‘dirty electricity’, controlling EMF exposure, and most crucially, how to shield oneself while sleeping. After extensively testing homes for EMF around the country, Brian established Shielded Healing in 2017. The aim of his team is to help modern society recreate electromagnetic environments that closely resemble historic human habitats. Brian works closely with functional medicine doctors, hospitals, and clinics worldwide, providing EMF shielding solutions and building protocols to reduce patient EMF exposure.

Intermittent Fasting for Females – Episode 140: Laurie Lewis Apr 19, 2023

Listen Online: Episode Overview:

Ann Louise Gittleman Interviews Laurie Lewis

The First Lady of Nutrition welcomes intermittent fasting coach and author, Laurie Lewis. For Laurie, menopause dealt a crushing blow — brain fog, lack of balance, memory loss, and the sudden gain of 50 pounds of stubborn hormonal fat. She tried everything she knew to feel better, and the methods that worked in the past made no difference. After four years of struggle, Laurie stumbled upon intermittent fasting and started fasting that very same day. The menopausal fog lifted in less than one week, she had more energy and felt more “like herself,” and lost 51 pounds in 15 months which she has kept it off for years! Join Ann Louise and Laurie Lewis as they discuss how intermittent fasting, or time restricted eating, is simply a pattern of eating and not eating, and how taking a conscious pause from eating allows the body a much-needed healing rest for the gut, organs, brain, blood, and hormones. It’s the digestive, hormonal, and metabolic rest our bodies require and the opportunity for our hormones to balance and function optimally. According to Lewis, the good news is that whether you’re a woman in your 40s, 50s, 60s, or beyond, intermittent fasting can make a huge difference not just for weight loss, but for the autophagy (deep cellular repair), gut health benefits, and mental clarity that comes with time restricted eating.

Ann Louise Gittleman Interviews Tamara Rubin

The First Lady of Nutrition welcomes Tamara Rubin, aka ‘Lead Safe Mama,’ an internationally recognized and award winning Lead-poisoning prevention advocate. A proud mother of four sons, Tamara took on the cause of childhood Lead-poisoning (and consumer goods safety advocacy) after her children were acutely Lead-poisoned by the work of a painting contractor in 2005. As Tamara and Ann Louise discuss, childhood Lead poisoning is both the single-most costly and the single-most preventable environmental illness in the world today. Lead-poisoning was not “solved” with the 1978 “ban” on Lead in residential paint; more than 1 out of 3 children in America (and worldwide) today have had an unsafe level of Lead in their blood in their lifetime. Lead-poisoning causes permanent brain damage in young children and yet – still today – costs the United States more than $50.9 Billion annually! Through her public advocacy work and private consulting, Tamara has personally helped tens of thousands of families create safer homes and environments for their children and continues to personally help families every day. For those of you who have children, grandchildren or know people who do – this is a must listen to podcast to get educated about this preventable illness.

Detox and Heavy Metals expert, Wendy Myers, has left her comfort zone and recently moved into the arena of emotional detox.

I have lost so many friends and associates this year, and they are just like family.” She told me something very interesting.

When people are suffering any kind of emotional trauma, whether it be sadness, anger, disappointment, bitterness, resentment, fear, or any emotion that impacts their lives, they probably need an emotional detox or a clearing of energy fields.

A Sneak Peek at My Inner Circle Sep 08, 2019

Exciting things are happening in my Inner Circle, and I want you to join me!

Because of our hectic, busy lives, there’s never been more of a need for self care than there is right now. And I don’t mean scheduling a pedicure or a massage (which are both wonderful things), I’m talking about following through on the promise you made to yourself to be the healthiest you can be. Maybe you hit midlife and the shape of your body completely changed, or you could be one of the many who is struggling with a mystery disease. Whatever it is you’re dealing with, I want to help!

I’ll let you in on a little secret – my Inner Circle is my happy place. As a New York Times Bestselling author with more than 35 books in print now, the demands for my time are great. This is why I created my Inner Circle. It’s my place where I can meet with you personally, share proprietary information that’s not available to the public, and mentor you through your health issues.

Each month, I pick a new health topic to focus on, and all of my live videos and downloadable materials I share with you are centered around this theme, to give you a thorough knowledge so you can help yourself and help others find their way back to health. For example, last month I had a guest who is an expert in the art of face mapping. With roots in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and mainstream western medicine, this valuable technique teaches you how your health is written all over your face. Through the reading of each Inner Circle member’s face, tongue, and nails, she showed us how to recognize signs of a congested liver, digestive issues, nutrient deficiencies, and so much more.

The knowledge you gain builds from month to month. This month we’re learning about liver cleansing, because so many of the faces that were read last month showed signs of a congested liver. Previous topics have included rainforest herbs, learning to read your own blood tests for optimal health, energy medicine, and Radical Longevity – with a sneak peek at my new book. But, I don’t just want to tell you what it’s like, I want to show you!

Here’s the introduction video for this month on liver cleansing:
