Prop 65 Warning Isn’t What You Think + The Sad Reality Of Grocery Store Demands | Sharon Brown May 28, 2025

Show notes

274: From healing autism and autoimmune diseases with bone broth to the sneaky, sad truth about what it actually takes to get on grocery store shelves (spoiler: brands have to pay for shelf space—and they’re often required to go on sale multiple times a year, which eats into their margins), this episode is packed with eye-opening insights. We get into the GAPS diet—what it is and how it works—the realities of USDA regulations, and the little-known details about Prop 65: including how some brands voluntarily put that scary warning on their packaging even when their test results are well below Prop 65 lead levels. My dear friend and sister in Christ, Sharon Brown, founder of Bonafide Provisions, shares her powerful story of helping to heal her son with bone broth, and how that journey led her to create the first company to bring real, traditionally-made bone broth to the market. Plus, we talk about sneaky ingredients in many bone broth products and what to watch out for.

Topics Discussed:

Healing autism and autoimmune disease with bone broth
USDA regulations and challenges
The GAPS diet
Additives and hidden ingredients in bone broth
Prop 65 labels and what they really mean
Lead levels in produce
Why many brands can’t afford to be in stores
FODMAP-friendly bone broth options

Have We Been Lied To About Soy + Phytoestrogens? Benefits For Bone Health, Breast C@n3r, + What Science Says! | BOK May 26, 2025

Show notes

273: Is soy actually good for us? Have we been lied to about soy and phytoestrogens? Today I’m sharing some shocking studies on the health benefits of soy and other foods containing phytoestrogens. Soy may not be for everyone—however, it may actually help several women (and men!) in different ways. Here’s what the science says…

PLUS… foods that contain phytoestrogens beyond soy.

STUDIES:

This PubMed study found that Asian-Americans who ate tofu had a reduced risk of developing breast cancer. The more tofu they ate, the lower their risk.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8922298

Here are 11 PubMed studies highlighting how soy benefits our bones:

It appears that just taking a daily pill containing the isoflavone genistein may be enough to reap some of soy's bone density benefits:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17577003

People in Asia consume much, much, much more soy than those in the West:https://www.smart-publications.com/cancer/daidzein.php

Interestingly, men may benefit slightly more than women from eating foods rich in phytoestrogens. These compounds are linked to reduced risks of cancer, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, and several other conditions:

When I first started this podcast three years ago, my producer asked me to create a wishlist of the top people I wanted to interview—and Dave Asprey was #1 on that list. So it's such a treat to bring this interview to life and share our intellectual conversation with you all.

We also dive into some controversial topics, like peanuts, nutritional yeast, long COVID, Botox, and of course, his recent facial surgery—what he did, how he recovered, and why antibiotics are a necessary part of the process. He shares tips and tricks for recovery, including what supplements to take and what foods to eat. And if you're dealing with infertility, even after age 40, Dave has tips for that too!

The FAT That Can Help Anemia, Leaky Gut, Dementia, + What Pregnant + Nursing Women Should Be Taking | Stephanie Venn-Watson Apr 30, 2025

Show notes

266: If you struggle with anemia, leaky gut, low red blood cells, high LDL cholesterol, brain fog, fatigue—or if you bruise easily—this episode is for you. There’s a special fat that’s been shown to support all of these issues. It’s called C15:0, and it’s the first essential fatty acid discovered in over 90 years!

Stephanie joins me today for an eye-opening conversation about this unique fat—an odd-chain saturated fatty acid that’s changing the game. She breaks down the difference between odd-chain and even-chain saturated fats and clears up the common misconception that all saturated fats are bad news. (Spoiler: they’re not.)

We also dive into how C15:0 could benefit pregnant mothers and developing babies, and why there's growing interest in adding it to infant formula. So, what foods actually contain C15:0? Are there any that block its absorption? And why are so many of us deficient in it to begin with?

If you’re curious whether you’re lacking this essential fat, good news—there are tests for that. And within just 3 to 6 months of supplementing with Fatty15 (a C15:0 supplement), people are reporting some incredible results.

We definitely get a little nerdy in this episode—and I loved every minute of it!

Fatty15 | Get 15% off when you use code: DIGEST

Topics Discussed:

The essential fatty acid we’re missing
The difference between short, medium, and odd-chain fatty acids
What C15:0 is and where to find it
Why Americans are so deficient in it
Connections to anemia, leaky gut, and aging
Why pregnant and nursing moms need C15:0
The potential of adding it to infant formula
