Episode 390: 5 Ways to Beat the Bloat Apr 08, 2024

Show notes

Bloating is so common that it is often accepted as the norm, but we’re here to tell you it is NOT normal to feel bloated, distended, and uncomfortably full all the time. Bloating can indicate a deeper root cause of microbiome imbalance, food sensitivities, digestive enzyme inadequacy and more. In this episode, we unpack some of the drivers of bloat as well as tried and true solutions, plus we’ll talk through a typical day of eating on a gut cleanse.

In this episode, we discuss 5 ways to beat the bloat, including of course our Beat the Bloat Gut Cleanse. You still have time to join us if you’re listening live (and if not, there’s always the archive option!). Learn about the function of digestive enzymes and whether replacing them will cause your body to produce less on its own, how probiotics in and of themselves can reduce bloating, and how to discern whether food sensitivities might be causing your bloat.

Show notes

Do you have a parasite? Are all parasites bad and does everyone need to do a parasite cleanse? In this episode we talk all about parasites! We cover what they are, symptoms of infection, how to treat them…and quite frankly how many people in the wellness space are going overboard with the topic!

In this episode, we cover how common parasitic infections are, types of parasites, and symptoms of infection. We discuss testing for parasites, how some can actually benefit the human body, and our favorite research backed natural compounds to treat a parasitic infection. Plus we discuss our thoughts on coffee enemas, colonics, and how many cleanses are too harsh or go on for too long and can wreak havoc on the microbiome!

Episode 385: Reducing Exposure and Impact of Glyphosate Mar 04, 2024

Show notes

We’ve alluded to glyphosate and Roundup Ready GMO crops in many episodes but we haven’t taken the time to really dig deep and ensure our audience is well educated on true exposure, health risk, and most importantly that we are able to leave them empowered with how to use nutrients and food-as-medicine to defend against the likely exposure.

In today’s important episode we explain the molecular structure of glyphosate, its use in big ag, the impact on the human body, increases in exposure over these last two decades and most importantly what you can do to protect your body and your household. From fulvic acid and soil play, to rebooting your microbiome, to glycine supplementation, to broccoli sprouts and beyond we will cover how to be resilient from this man made disaster!

Episode 384: You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment Feb 26, 2024

Show notes

Have you heard the buzz about the new Netflix docuseries, You Are What You Eat? Has another friend told you they are thinking about going vegan “for health reasons”? Not to worry, we watched the docuseries and read the study so you don’t have to! Tune in to hear us give our hot take on the Vegan vs. Omnivore Identical Twin study.

In this episode, we respond to the Stanford Vegan Twin study and the docuseries that came out of it. We cover the actual results of the study which were not impressive, how the results were misconstrued in the docuseries, and what actually happened to study participants in terms of their metabolic health and body composition! Plus we discuss B-12 deficiency, why TMAO isn’t as simple as the docuseries makes it out to be, and why we always have to follow the money when it comes to pieces like this.
