Show notes

I'm a day late but I'm back with another Q&A episode of the podcast! This week I'm focusing on what I'm doing to stay healthy (including mental health!!) during this pandemic/quarantine.
I also go over some foods that have been touted as being really healthy but in my opinion, don't hold up.
Here's the Canola Oil video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfk2IXlZdbI (gross!)
Another question I got was about being constantly thirsty and not having thirst quenched by water. While this is a symptom of Diabetes, there are some things we can do to improve our hydration.

Episode 15: 11 Holistic Tips for Improving your Immune System + Tips for Binge or Emotional Eating during Stress from COVID-19 Mar 19, 2020

Show notes

In this special edition of the podcast, I discuss some of my best tips for improving your immune system. It is a better time than ever to really take care of your immune system. To do that, we can't just take Vitamin C and think we are good to go! We need to adjust our diet and lifestyle by removing inflammatory and irritating foods & substances, and also adding in healing, nutrient-rich foods and supplements along with critical lifestyle pieces like sleep, stress management and movement.
Over the past few days, many of my clients and Instagram followers have been reporting that they have been emotionally eating more than usual. And I have been too! It's a difficult time and it's important to forgive ourselves and not shame or guilt ourselves for how we are responding to this increase in anxiety and fear.
Here is the body scan meditation that I have really been enjoying over the past several days: https://open.spotify.com/track/7DtlWpQFHLKSfyy3mKr8Sg?si=_WOE4I2UTlWfQVYg8Fxsyw

Episode 12: Part I - The path to avoiding Type II Diabetes: Signs your blood sugar is dysregulated Mar 02, 2020

Show notes

This is the first episode in a two part series all about Diabetes. About half of the adults in the United States have Prediabetes or Diabetes, but about a quarter of those individuals don't know they have it!
How can this be?! It's not the fault of the individuals; we have a broken system. My goal is to help you learn what having dysregulated blood sugar feels like and looks like so then you can start taking steps to improve your blood sugar and insulin levels.
Blood sugar is a spectrum. One one end we have regulated blood sugar and on the other, type II Diabetes. Diabetes is completely preventable (and it is reversible too!). Preventing it is easier than reversing it though. Tune in to today's show to learn to identify the signs so your blood sugar can stay or return to healthy levels instead of advancing toward Diabetes.
I also discuss why it's so important to avoid getting Diabetes. It's my understanding that most people don't know what the consequences of having diabetes is. Did you know that Diabetes is the lead cause of blindness and kidney disease in adults? Did you know that even having prediabetes increases your risk of having cardiovascular disease, stroke, and dementia?! This is some serious stuff.
My top goal is to help all of you understand why blood sugar regulation is so important, how to recognize the signs, AND how to test for it and begin to improve it (which we will cover in Part II of this series).
Thanks so much for listening! Please be sure to subscribe to the show & leave a rating (and a review if you are so inclined!) It helps others find the show.
Every Friday I do a Q&A episode. Please submit all questions to me via Instagram, facebook or my website. Keep in mind, my brand is changing after March 7, 2020!

Episode 10: The 11 Reasons You're Not Losing Weight - How to bust through weight loss plateaus Feb 24, 2020

Show notes

This episode is near and dear to my heart. I have struggled with my weight for just about my entire life. This episode is not meant to shame or judge anyone who is overweight. We need to love our bodies at all stages of our journey. However, I know what it's like to feel like you're "doing everything right" and the scale won't budge. I've actually been in a situation where I was eating well and exercising and not only was I not losing weight, I was actually GAINING! It was so heartbreaking and discouraging.
In this episode, I discuss 11 reasons you might not be losing weight. In those 11, I didn't mention eating sugar and processed carbs (like cupcakes and bagels and pizza). I figured that one was a given!
Here is my list:
1. You’re insulin resistant

2. You slowed your metabolism by cutting calories or yo-yo dieting

3. You’re eating foods you’re sensitive to

4. You’re not fasting/you’re eating too often/You snack

5. Your body is stressed

6. You’re not eating real food

7. Your body is toxic

8. You have hormonal imbalance

9. You’re eating when you’re not hungry

10. You’re doing the wrong type of exercise for your body

11. You’re trying too hard and/or you’re not mentally ready for it

Episode 8. Fasting: The most effective (& FREE) way to reverse diabetes, prevent Alzheimer's, balance hormones, lose weight, & reduce inflammation. Feb 17, 2020

Show notes

Fasting is the oldest dietary intervention ever used. It is a practice used in every single major world religion. Fasting is the opposite of feasting. Fasting is free, convenient, flexible, and powerful. It is where we step aside and give our body a chance to heal itself. When we cut our skin, we don't need to do anything for our skin to heal. Our body immediately begins healing. Yes, we might put on a band-aid to avoid dirt from entering the wound, but we essentially are getting out of the body's way so it can do it's thing. This is the same concept with fasting.
On this week's episode, I talk all about fasting and how you can begin to implement it. I discuss:
-The benefits of fasting
-Who shouldn't fast
-Who should fast
-The types of fasting
-Questions about hunger
-What you can have and can't have during a fast
-Considerations for supplements/medications
-Things to be mindful of while fasting and before fasting
-What to expect as you begin your fasting journey
Please be sure to work alongside your healthcare practitioner if you are currently taking medications or before embarking on a fast longer than a day. Start slowly! And HYDRATE!
