Raising Healthy Eaters with Healthy Boundaries

S2E12 - Every Child Is Different with Dr. Joel Gator Mar 22, 2022

Show Summary: "Having healthy, firm, loving boundaries around food is not punishing your child. It's teaching them a skill that will keep them healthy throughout their lives."

In our fast-paced world, we have gotten used to eating instant or processed food or food that is easy to prepare. Most of the time, we order from fast-food restaurants. If we go to the grocery, we skip checking labels and shoot whatever we think is delicious inside our grocery carts. But are we aware of the content of these foods and their effects on mental health? Especially with children who are still developing their brains?

For this episode, we have Dr. Joel "Gator" Warsh with us, who discuss mental development in children. He is an integrative and holistic pediatrician who also has a Master's Degree in Epidemiology and Community Health. He balances Western medicine and natural medicine in treating his patients. Listen as he unravels why mental health issues in children are doubling these past few years and what we can do to better care for our children.

Tune in to this episode to learn how to better care for you and your children's mental health. Please share it with people you care about, too!

Exceptional Highlights:

Stress influences mental health.
We weren't programmed to be stressed out all day, every day. That changes your body, your hormones.
We have to go back to the kitchen and practice that skill. We have to learn and become friends with cooking again.

Show Highlights:

Is there some holistic regimen that you can put together with medication to address sensory disorders? What are their commonalities, and how are they different?

Dr. Gator 15:04

Every child is different, and every diagnosis is different. So there's not one thing that works for everyone. But there's one commonality across these which is inflammation - the leading cause and contributor to all of these,

Do you think some kids get misdiagnosed with disorders like ADHD and things like that? What if they just needed to clean up their diet?

Dr. Gator 33:11

For sure. ADHD is a label. There's no specific test where you have these lab numbers in there for you.

Can we do detoxification for kids?

Dr. Gator 41:40

Whenever we're doing detoxification for kids, the place to start is with natural detoxification. So you first think about the three ways you get things out of your body- poop, pee and sweating.

S2E11 - Healing Your Body Through Whole Foods with Dr. Uma Naidoo Mar 15, 2022

Show Summary: ”The power of how we feel emotionally & physically is at the end of our fork.”

The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted physical effects on those who caught the virus. But physical effects are for those who got sick. Meanwhile, the rest of the world struggles with psychological impacts like depression and anxiety. What can we do to address these physical and psychological issues? Do we meditate, change our routines, and take medicines to cope? Or can we also turn to our natural medicine - food? But it isn't about fad diets or being an extreme vegan or an extreme carnivore or even restricting yourself from eating certain foods. It is just about knowing which foods are good for your body.

In this episode, we are super thrilled to have Dr. Uma Naidoo. She is the first woman "triple threat" in the food and medicine space since her skills are the perfect mix of the professionals that this world needs at our present time: a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, a professional chef, and a trained nutrition specialist. Simply one of a kind, she shares how we can have healthy lifestyle changes starting with food to reverse our illnesses and optimize our physical and mental health.

Listen now and remember to share the episode with your family and loved ones.

Exceptional Highlights:

Proper gut-healing takes about 28 days.
Fermented foods are extremely helpful in lowering inflammation.
Fast food and restaurants use processed vegetable oils, which are more cost-effective but pro-inflammatory for our bodies.

Show Highlights:

How important is nutrition in dealing with mental health issues?

Dr. Naido 09:21

It is a well-known fact that in many physical conditions, if you work on a nutritional plan and change up your diet, that can impact change.

Can you dive into that a little bit more about the gut-brain connection?

Dr. Naido 10:18

The gut and brain, organs that are far apart from the body but originate from the same cells in the embryo, divide up to form organs, and then they remain connected throughout life.

Are there specific nutrients or specific foods for mental health?

Dr. Naido 32:46

Prebiotic foods because most people think they have to take a supplement. But prebiotic foods nurture those gut microbes, and they can be found on simple foods like garlic, leeks, onions, the allium family, bananas, oats.

S2E10 - Facing Trauma & Your Shadow Self To Truly Heal Mar 08, 2022

Show Summary: "We have psychological problems that food alone cannot fix. But if we get to the belief systems that created a neurological pathway in our brains that set us up for failure, we can reverse it. "

We do not have a guest for this episode as Gina and I catch up on what's happening with our lives. People were asking how I was after Tristin died, so I want to share my healing journey around this trauma. I know that a lot of you out there are dealing with hardships on your own.

And so we discuss how you can face your trauma and your shadow self to heal truly. Because there are problems that food alone can't fix, and our greatest fears give us the feeling of being unsafe and unloved. We have to dig deeper into our beings to heal truly. But we can't do this alone, and we need someone to guide us. And sometimes, we also need substances like Ketamine which we discussed in Episode 8, to facilitate faster processes.

If you are experiencing trauma, tune in to this episode. We are here to help you by opening the Gutsy Health Membership soon, and we’ll have the mindset ninja, Britt Lefkoe with us, who’ll guide us in facing our shadow self. Please follow our Instagram account for more information.

Exceptional Highlights:

If you have brain fog, that is a sign that your body and your brain have been burnt out. And it didn't start a year ago; it has been probably for a couple of years. Because your brain wasn't meant to be in such a high provision, say it's kind of an adrenal burnout.
We’re hoping that these beautiful therapies are going to be legalized next year. Psilocybin is another one, so doctors can use it in clinical settings for cancer studies.
90% of hormonal issues and health issues could be resolved with good sleep and nutrition.

Show Highlights:

What does not yawning anymore say about our body?

Juanique 30:00

Yawning is a parasympathetic response we're supposed to do. So sad that many of us have stopped doing it.

How about not dreaming when you sleep?

Juanique 30:54

If you're not dreaming, your body is not relaxed enough to go into that deep REM to do some serious healing.

What happens when we don't sleep well?

Juanique 41:43

If you have sleep disturbances, you have an overstimulated nervous system. You're in fight or flight all the time, and being in that state is disrupting your digestion, absorption, cortisol levels, sex hormones, and the way your body detoxifies.

S2E9 - Ketamine Therapy- How It's Changing PTSD, Anxiety & Depression Healing Mar 01, 2022

Show Summary: "Ketamine allows us to feel safe. It is really powerful medicine that gets us into a sense of well-being & enables us to do the inner healing work or inner growth work we're longing to do."

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression are now experienced by more people, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Contracting the disease or having the pain of losing loved ones from it triggers these on people. These can be debilitating and cause people to feel powerless, unmotivated, and worthless.

So today, we are lucky to have Dr. Michael Sapiro, a clinical psychologist, psychedelic-assisted therapist, Dharma teacher, meditation researcher specializing in utilizing therapies and modalities, who helps retrain the brain and heal people from these psychological problems.

Dr. Sapiro shares how Ketamine can be used for therapy in helping people deal with these psychological problems. Listen as he walks us through the process of how the Boise Ketamine Clinic facilitates Ketamine-assisted Psychotherapy. He explains how this can promote faster healing than traditional psychotherapy, thus helping more people claim back their power over their lives.

Tune in and find out how this therapy can help lots of people. Please share this episode with someone you know who needs it, too.

Exceptional Highlights:

The ego will hold on to its defenses for survival. Those of us who want to change and are so ready to do the healing and the growth work, with Ketamine, we dissolve the hold that we have over our ego.
I work with people with severe trauma, and I've never seen a flip out on Ketamine. And I have seen some flip-outs on DMT. But that's because the egos are dissolving and dying.
Our bodies are not our own; we can do our best to take care and love our bodies, strengthen them, and keep them fit and healthy as best as we can at the same time knowing that they will decay and die.

Show Highlights:

What is Ketamine Therapy?

Dr. Sapiro 6:34

Ketamine was used initially as an anesthetic. What they found was people who were put under, like dental surgeries, reported that their depression was gone for months at a time.

Can you explain what Ketamine does to the ego?

Dr. Sapiro 17:28

How Ketamine functions is it puts the nervous system in a state that we would consider more parasympathetic, a little bit downregulated. Because your body is on its own, you're essentially dissociated, but you can still feel and be in the body. But it has a sense of freedom and ease.

S2E8 - The Order of Healing Feb 22, 2022

Show Summary: "The Gutsy Membership's Order of Healing is purely based on science; it's the depths of science and healing into a simple roadmap."

You, becoming self-healing champions, has always been our top priority since the beginning of this podcast. This is why we continuously create content and programs that will help you better understand how to heal your body with less struggle, confusion, & frustrations.

We know how challenging it is for others to heal, from a mind level & cellular level. Because from the past years, we have been programmed to address only the symptoms, not the root cause. And here at the Gutsy Health podcast, we always want to figure out what possible reasons contribute to one's current sickness on a deeper level. May it be the endocrine disruptors you had when you were still a child.

This inspired the creation of the Gutsy Membership's "The Order of Healing," which has the simplest & most straightforward approach to healing. And in this episode, Juanique & Gina share its importance up to the energetic & cellular level so healing can smoothly flow without band-aiding everything & feeling like you’re carrying a boulder uphill.

Please share this with your friends and family who have been looking for simpler ways to heal. Join our membership program if you are ready to become a self-healing expert this year!

Exceptional Highlights:

You got to get your gut running like a well-oiled machine to set you up for healing.
If you're eating a lot of fiber and a lot of highly nutritious foods, you're already detoxing. Still, our issue is that the standard American diet doesn't supply those foods that give the liver the necessary molecules to detoxify.
When the body controls the mechanisms, it will most likely win because the body's designed to do that.

Show Highlights:

First order of healing — Mindset

Juanique 12:12

Mindset is exploring your shadow self & your subconscious belief systems that your body is programmed to run from. Mindset is diving into traumas that have put your brain into a fight or flight response almost 24/7.

Second order of healing — Mitochondria

Juanique 16:22

Mitochondria are the batteries to your cells. The healthier the mitochondria are in your body, the more energy and resources you will have to have your body heal itself.

Third order of healing — Gut

Juanique 20:08

Your gut is the root system of the rest of your body. And if the roots in a tree are dying, it dies. So if you have inflammation in your gut, if your gut is on fire, that's like the root system to a tree is on fire.

S2E7 - Keep It Simple & Let's Go Back To Basic with Ryan Blaser Feb 15, 2022

Show Summary: "Healing doesn't happen overnight. And the stress around your Healing could be more detrimental than the toxins that you're exposing yourself to."

Contrary to popular belief, maintaining good health habits is not as expensive as you think. We have to keep things simple, and we just have to go back to basics.

So for this episode, we have our frequent flier once again, Ryan Blaser of Test my Home, discuss the different life aspects that we should always keep in check for us to stay in good shape. Holistic Healing is not just about exercise and food; it also includes the environment and mindset.

We do not have to follow complicated procedures to be healthy, and we just have to learn essential habits. We do not have to pressure ourselves into doing things that are hard for us to accomplish. We have to be comfortable with our bodies, love what we do, and always choose joy.

Listen to our sharing as good friends and pick up a few lessons on keeping yourself and your family's good health. We do not want to keep this knowledge to ourselves. Please share this episode with all of your family and loved ones who you know can benefit and live a happier and healthier lifestyle.

Exceptional Highlights:

Movement stimulates your brain. It creates neurotransmitters that make you feel good & motivated.
Eat to live; not live to eat..
When you analyze dust, it's made up of dead skin cells, insect parts, insect feces, broken down foams, and plant material. If you ingest that, it will be a toxic load in your body.

Show Highlights:

Where should we start?

Ryan 6:17

We should start with fitness. I'm no fitness instructor, but I used to be quite overweight. You can get detailed with how you work out and what you do. When should you do cardio, when should you do the lifting, but, get simple with it and move your body and do what makes you happy. Do what you feel good doing.

What about nutrition?

Juanique 13:45

Get eight servings of vegetables a day. People say that's so hard, and eight servings are like half a cup of compacted veggies. You can start with four cups of vegetables.

What about mental health and spirituality?

Ryan 37:13

I know that in my life, when I start to feel stressed out or feel overwhelmed or sad, one of the things that help is to think of 12 things you're thankful for. Or do a random nice thing for somebody else.

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.

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.

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.

Katie 14:00

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. "

Do you always feel like eating ice cream when you're alone at home?

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?

Dr. Michelle 32:22

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!

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.

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.

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.

Tamara 13:25 -

If your readers or listeners go to eBay and look for a used XRF instrument, they're going to find used ones from 5 to $10,000. The problem is that's not the right instrument. The instrument I use is the one specifically used by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

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.

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:

What the body's threshold for sugar intake is

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.

They stopped testing for quite some time, but this year, 2020, things got terrible. His cancer got back unknowingly.

It was real devastation for both of them, but the reason why they want to share Tristin’s journey with you is because of the life-lessons they discovered behind the anxiety and panic they went through.

Look For The Good - Jason Mraz

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

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”.

Whenever I consult with people, people have this shame around food, and I have to remind them, this is a safe space, I am not going to judge you here.

Where do mostly cravings come from?

Juanique 24:40

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

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.

Show Highlights:

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.

Every cell in my body vibrates with energy and health and is in communication with all other cells.

With every exhale, I release stress and disease. With every inhale, I channel connection, love, and health to every cell.

All of my body’s systems and organs function perfectly.

My body communicates with me and I pay attention and give my body what it needs.

I am a daughter of God who has entrusted me with this earthly body as a temple for my soul.

I am worthy of healing and thriving, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

I release and forgive whatever part of my past brought me to this point. My body is divinely designed to heal, and I invite that divinity within me to take the reins."

Ozone Healing with Dr. David Minkoff Oct 20, 2020

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.

Body Health Website

Dr. David Minkoff’s Book
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.

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.

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.

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.
