Exposing the Broken Healthcare System: How It’s Failing You w/ Dr. Marty Makary Nov 11, 2024

Ep. 149 On today’s episode of Pursuit of Wellness, I sit down with Dr. Marty Makary, a healthcare advocate, surgeon, and New York Times best-selling author, to dissect the complex web of our current healthcare system and its impact on everyday health. Dr. Marty pulls back the curtain on major blind spots in healthcare, from women's health to food safety issues like food dyes and seed oils in baby formula. We dive into the powerful effects of chronic illness and lifestyle choices, discussing the influence of school lunch programs, hormone disruptors, and the hidden dangers of ultra-processed foods. Dr. Marty also shares how cultural obedience within the healthcare system can delay necessary change and offers practical steps for optimizing family health, especially for children. This episode is an eye-opener on preventative care, the root causes of chronic issues, and the importance of community and purpose in maintaining overall well-being.

How to Become The Highest Version Of You: Achieve Abundance and Overcome Victim Mentality W/ Mimi Bouchard Apr 29, 2024

Ep. #94 Today on the Pursuit of Wellness, I’m thrilled to have Mimi Bouchard, the innovator behind the Superhuman App. It’s easy to lose ourselves in the daily grind, but today's enlightening discussion about her unique activations that extend beyond traditional meditation was a revelation. We explored the concept of resilience, not just as bouncing back but as a pathway to gaining strength, wisdom, and empowerment, while shifting away from a victim mentality towards a future of success and abundance. We also examined how an entrepreneurial spirit can harmoniously blend with personal care, and discussed strategies for podcast marketing that might offer transformative opportunities. Joining this conversation with Mimi might just be the stepping stone you need to transform your self-image and embrace a life of abundance.

Studies and Links From Simon:

1) Saturated fats versus unsaturated fats

2) High saturated fat rich low carb diet in healthy women markedly raises LDL-C and ApoB in just 4 weeks

3) Plant-based dietary patterns typically lower LDL-C by 0.3 mmol/l which equates to about 20% reduction in risk of atherosclerotic CVD

4) The hadza

5) Red meat does increase LDL-C and ApoB

6)Swapping animal protein for plant protein improved LDL-C levels

7) LDL-C is causal in development of atherosclerotic CVD

8) All cells produce their own cholesterol and the brain does not rely on systemic cholesterol

9) Low cholesterol does not negatively affect sex hormones

10) When optimal protein is achieved (1.6g per Kg), there is no difference in strength/hypertrophy between animal and plant protein

11) Total protein and plant protein are associated with reduced mortality. Swapping animal protein for plant protein is associated with reduced mortality

12) Two clinical studies looking at soy foods, or soy isoflavones, fed to men that measured semen parameters and/or sex hormones:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11352776

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19819436/

13) Meta-analysis of 38 clinical interventions looking at soy foods/isoflavones and sex hormones:

14) Danish dietary guidelines and 3 other evidence-based nutrition guidelines

Leave Me a Message - click here!

Ep. #55

On this episode, we have the pleasure of hosting Mark and Carrie Sisson, powerhouses in the wellness industry. Together, they reveal their individual journeys into health and fitness, which has now spanned over two decades. The discussion moves into the realm of diets, from keto to paleo, and even touching on the often controversial topic of veganism. The Sissons share their personal experiences and views on these diets, highlighting the importance of sustainability and individuality when it comes to dietary choices. But we don't just stop at diets and workouts, we also venture into the sphere of endurance training, the benefits of quality wines, and foot health.

Lastly, we delve into the world of entrepreneurship, with a particular focus on the Sisson's latest venture, Peluva - a shoe company revolutionizing footwear for health and comfort. The Sissons explain how conventional shoes may not be the best choice for foot health and how they're seeking to change this with Peluva. We also explore the interconnectedness of various industries, such as food and medicine, and the common trend of addressing symptoms rather than root causes. From health and fitness to relationships and entrepreneurship, this episode covers a lot of ground.

Ep. #54

Joining me this week is my guardian angel, Emily Morrow, an Integrative Health Practitioner and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. Emily saved me from a life of acne and hormonal imbalances and now she's here to share her wisdom, insights, and candid tales of her own health battles. She taught me the importance of digging deeper, of looking beyond the symptoms to the root cause of our health concerns - a lesson that has transformed my life.

We delve into often misunderstood topics like cholesterol, hormones, and diets. We also discuss gut and liver health, an often overlooked aspect, especially in adolescents. We focus on skincare, supplements, and lifestyle changes for acne management, and the significant connection between mental health and acne. Emily shares her knowledge on how to use dietary switches for improved wellness, addressing acne with individualized approaches, and managing stress for overall health

Make sure you listen all the way to the end for some rapid Q & A, where we learn about acne safe makeup, fragrance in candles, deodorants to use, red light therapy, body acne and eczema.

Gabby Bernstein: “All Of Us Are Traumatized,” Finding Inner Peace & Spirituality, Struggling w/ Extreme Addiction, Shame, Codependency, Dissociating & How To Heal. Nov 13, 2023

Ep. #50

Imagine stepping into the shoes of someone who has faced life's darkest corners, battled addiction, confronted trauma and emerged on the other side, not just surviving, but shining with spiritual wisdom. Welcome to our space, and today, we have the privilege of having Gabby Bernstein (to speak about her book Happy Days), a spiritual teacher and author who embodies resilience and transformation, sharing her life's journey with us. She unveils her battle with addiction, her path to sobriety, and a traumatic childhood event that laid concealed for years, providing insight into how extreme behaviors, good or bad, can serve as shields protecting us from our internal struggles.

Have you ever pondered how our past traumas, feelings of shame and relationship styles can affect our physical health? Together with Gabby, we delve into this fascinating territory, examining how these elements can manifest into physical issues, from digestive problems to brain fog. Gabby's insights reveal that our biologically designed shame responses, which are meant to tether us to safety, can lead to debilitating issues when suppressed. Moreover, we shed light on the enduring physical impact of trauma and stress the importance of embarking on the healing journey in a safe and timely manner.

Everyday Products That Are Making You Sick, Fatal Conveniences, Living Plant Based, Invisible Toxins and Ways to Detox Your Life w/ Darin Olien Oct 16, 2023

Ep. #45

Have you ever considered the invisible dangers that could be lurking in your everyday products? In a riveting discussion with our guest, Darin Olien (Author of Fatal Conveniences), we uncover the pitfalls of what he terms 'fatal conveniences' and how they can negatively impact our health. Drawing from his father's experience with multiple chemical sensitivity, Darren emphasizes the potential harm of the approximately 60,000 largely untested chemicals present in products we use daily. Whether it's your deodorant, clothing, furniture, sunscreen, or even the air you breathe, every personal choice can be a stepping stone towards better health and wellness.

Darin guides us through the contrasts between regulations in the US and EU, shedding light on how products are often pushed to market stateside without sufficient safety tests. He encourages us to take action, support companies that prioritize health, and become informed consumers. We also delve into the serious health implications tied to our exposure to these chemicals, and how small and simple changes, like switching to natural skincare or growing our own food, can contribute to a healthier lifestyle. Don’t forget to check out Darin’s new book Fatal Conveniences.

How To Get Through Hard Times Oct 12, 2023

Ep. #44

Today on the show, we are having our first ever Mini Motivational Solo Episode. I am really excited about this new segment of the show where we can really dive deep on topics I think will help so many of you thrive and live your dream life. On the first episode of this series, I open up about the fear that once dominated my life. Through personal stories of running from problems and avoiding my true potential, I take you on a journey that ultimately leads to the realization of the importance of facing your issues head-on. I explore the depths of my lowest point—hitting rock bottom. And while it may seem dark and desolate, I show you how it is in these abyssal depths that I found a fertile ground for rebuilding and transformation. I share how taking charge of my life, focusing on what I could control, and making small yet significant changes propelled me towards becoming the person I aspired to be.

KK Fit Twins On Their Mental Health Transformation, From Extreme Dieting to Intuitive Eating, Binge Eating Struggles, Finding Self Love & Redefining Fitness Oct 09, 2023

Ep. #43

Meet Kathryn and Kendra, better known as the KK Fit Twins. From cardio bunnies to heavy lifters, their journey is nothing short of inspiring. This episode explores their transition from a hardcore bodybuilding lifestyle to a more holistic, wellness-focused approach. We trace their steps from wanting to look the part, to cultivating a genuine passion for health and wellness.

We take a leap into the deep end discussing mental health, a topic often neglected within the fitness industry, especially for public figures. Can you imagine the pressure of maintaining a certain body type while grappling with an internal identity crisis? Kathryn and Kendra open up about how they dealt with these challenges, applauding each other’s willingness to evolve and be vulnerable.

Finally, the KK Fit Twins share their personal struggles, the unique pressures of twin fitness, and how their upbringing influenced their previous extreme bodybuilding approach. We also examine how their view on health and fitness has evolved, the obstacles faced, and the powerful lessons learned. Let's delve into the enlightening conversation that marks a significant shift from the traditional fitness narrative to a more wholesome perspective.

From Homeless To $400M: Tobi Pearce On How To Find Your Purpose, Mindset & Motivation, Overcoming Adversity, Self-Judgement & Criticism and Learning From Failures. Oct 02, 2023

Ep. #42

Today we have an incredible guest, Tobi Pearce - tech founder & ex-CEO of SWEAT, investor, and now an advisor to other founders. Tobi’s inspiring journey from homelessness to finding success through fitness and ultimately a $400 million dollar record-breaking sale of the massive SWEAT app - all before his 29th birthday - is full of inspiration and wisdom beyond his years. He also happens to be the partner of one of my dear friends, Rachel Dillon, so check out her episode below. On this episode, we talk about hitting rock bottom and finding purpose through pain, if business and passion really need to align, why timing is everything, why the best leaders have the experience in the game to make better decisions, learning from failures, how Tobi saw an opportunity in the female fitness market, values and qualities in relationships that change after finding success (yes, he was a multi-millionaire sleeping on an air mattress), becoming a parent, dealing with self-judgment and criticism, why achieving your goals actually makes things harder, sitting in stillness and learning to be alone with your thoughts, why being unrelatable makes your circle tighter, and more. There were so many parallels in my own journey through business, fitness, and learning about changing relationships along the way. Regardless of where you are in your journey or career, whether you are an entrepreneur, work for a business, or are simply trying to find your future purpose, this episode is for you.

We hope to see you on Sunday 10/8 for our POW x Bloom community walk, listen to the episode for more details!

From A Drug Addict in Jail To An Award Winning Personal Trainer: Childhood Trauma, Recovery, Fitness as Medicine, Doing the Work & Learning to Love Yourself Again with Doug Bopst Sep 18, 2023

Ep. #39

Today’s guest is Doug Bopst, award winning personal trainer, author, speaker, and podcast host. Doug has an incredible transformation story from a former incarcerated drug addict to where he is today and says he is lucky to have survived his 25th birthday. Through perseverance and a complete mindset shift, Doug turned his pain into purpose to become a successful, multifaceted individual. In this episode, we discuss childhood trauma, how his choices that lead him down a dark path were driven by a need for acceptance, addiction to the validation of being wanted or needed, why drugs created a false sense of confidence at his most insecure point in life, coping with anxiety and depression, understanding that no one is coming to save you, finding the strength to push past rock bottom and the pivotal moment that turned his life around, fitness as medicine for physical and mental health, tips for staying disciplined and becoming your own biggest advocate, doing the work and saving your own life. I was so inspired after talking to Doug and I think conversations like these are so important to have, whether it's my own rock bottom story or someone else's. Even though all of our stories are different, I hope to anyone listening who may be struggling that this shows that there's a light at the end of the tunnel and you CAN find the strength to push yourself past your adversity.

Ep. #38

On today’s episode, we are joined by Pasturebird Farm’s founder & farmer,Paul Greive. Paul transitioned from city life as a corporate accountant without a background in agriculture when an illness required him to change the course of his life. After serving in the Marine Corps and contracting Lyme disease during sniper school, Paul began to look more closely at what he was putting into his body to focus on healing, but wasn’t able to find pasture-raised chicken that fit his Paleo needs. His family ordered 50 chicks as part of an experimental hobby when they first moved to Temecula, and now Pasturebird is the largest pastured poultry farm in the world and official supplier of chicken to the LA Clippers and Dodgers. On this episode, we get into the problems with our food system, why pasture raised chicken is important, industry myths, sustainability, how to read labels at grocery stores, regenerative vs. factory farming and what this means for both plants and animals, glyphosate and its long lasting impact, the importance of buying directly from farmers, hidden truths about farmers markets, soil health and the environment, ancient wisdom from indigenous practices, and getting back to our roots by finding the joys of nature at any age. Paul was kind enough to share a discount code exclusively for the POW community so be sure to check out their website below and listen to the full episode if, like me, you’re inspired to get your own chickens and want to know where to start!

Ep. #37

On today’s episode, I’m chatting with Paige Lindgren, a Certified Hormone Specialist and Pilates Instructor who is passionate about helping women feel their best and find balance, hormone health optimization, and healthy lifestyle choices. Paige also co-founded From Force to Flow, a cycle syncing platform that's full of hormone knowledge and tips for each phase of the menstrual cycle. Together we discuss the different phases of the menstrual cycle & optimization for each one, hormone imbalances and conditions (PCOS, Hashimotos, etc.) and how to test for them/manage symptoms, the impact that cortisol has on feeling safe in our bodies, why getting more protein is so important, long-term effects of blue light exposure, social media & screentime breaks, healthy sleep patterns, the difference between a healthy and dysfunctional thyroid, why over-exercising can cause more harm than good, managing environmental stress, natural vs. hormonal birth control options, exposure to elevated amounts of BPAs and microplastics, honoring cravings during menstruation, and so much more! I love how Paige presents these findings in a way that's both approachable and easy to understand, while creating a safe space for women with shared experiences to discuss their journeys.

Appointment with a Naturopath: Detoxing Mold & Parasites, Leaky Gut, Chinese Medicine, Hormone Health, Food Sensitivities, Stool Tests & Cortisol with Dr. Saman Faramarzi Aug 21, 2023

Ep. #35

Today’s guest is naturopathic doctor Dr. Saman Faramarzi. Dr. Sam is someone who has guided me physically and spiritually through a lot of my acne journey and completed her naturopathic medical training at Bastyr University. Dr. Sam studied cutting-edge research on mindfulness at the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Harvard Medical School. She incorporates her knowledge into private practice and witnesses profound changes in patients just after a few visits. I thought this episode would be an awesome opportunity for my POW audience to have an “appointment” with a naturopath as I recognize that these tests may not be readily available or accessible to everyone - as always take what works and leave what doesn’t and I hope you learn something new along the way. On this episode, we get into the seven different tests we ran on me and my results, how health relates to trauma and mental/emotional health, stress roadblocks and clearing pathways to live optimally, principles of Chinese medicine, the importance of healthy gut and liver function as well as microbiome diversity, hormone health and thyroid issues, why food sensitivity is controversial, environmental toxins and how to properly detox, parasites, and simple tips and hacks that can make a huge difference to your health and overall happiness long term. I also address some recent feedback as well as give updates to the protein bar formulation before we get into the episode, so make sure to listen - this ep is full of valuable insights and I can’t wait for you to hear it!

Breakups, Sexuality & Intimacy, Getting A Period Back, Body Image, and *That* Italy Trip with Alyssa Lynch Aug 14, 2023

Ep. #34

On this week’s episode, I’m thrilled to have my good friend Alyssa Lynch join me on the show. Alyssa is a former actress turned wellness enthusiast with a focus around health, mindfulness, and spiritual practices. Alyssa and I actually first recorded back in November, but so much has happened in her life that I wanted to have her back on to address this pivotal transitional moment, and we get into all the juicy details - many of which she’s addressing publicly for the first time. We talk her breakup and the aftermath, her healing process, learning you can’t fix someone, hormone health/gaining healthy weight, masculine vs. feminine era, living a bright and fun life, *those* spicy rumors, what she’ll look for in a future partner, if her DMs are really open to the ladies, and so much more. Loved this girlfriend chat and welcoming Alyssa into her new feminine era - will definitely be having her on for more!

Thomas Delauer on his 110lb Weight Loss, Insulin Resistance, Protein vs Carb Intake, Keto, Intermittent Fasting, Exercise Addiction, Male Mental Health, OCD & more. Aug 07, 2023

Ep. #33

Today on the show we have an amazing guest, Thomas Delauer. Thomas is an American author, health expert, YouTube star, and performance coach best known for his work on personal health transformation. Like me, Thomas went through a radical transformation and lost 110 pounds, but learned just as much about his own mental health alongside his physical journey to overcome unhealthy habits and thought patterns. Today, he helps clients around the world transform their lifestyles and I was inspired by our motivational conversation. In this episode, we discuss eating disorder development in kids, body dysmorphia and mental health, OCD & obsessive thinking as an adult, when exercise can become self-harm, shame around food, Thomas’s rock-bottom story, intermittent fasting for women and men, keto diet, misconceptions about food and fitness, prioritizing muscle gain while being diet conscious, potential effects of gluten and dairy on autoimmune conditions, and so much more.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of food quality, what western medicine doesn’t teach us about nutrition, the connection to plants and autoimmune issues, healing skin issues, benefits of creatine and animal protein, ethical farming, the problem with oats and coffee, SIBO and the gut, why raw dairy, and much more.
