8. Breaking Down Popular Diets Jun 09, 2021

Show notes

For the season 1 finale, we are going out with a bang & discussing POPULAR DIETS! We polled our audience to see which diets you guys wanted to hear about most, and the winners were Paleo, AIP, Keto, Whole30, and Intermittent Fasting. Our heart behind this episode is to paint the whole picture when it comes to these restrictive diets, and the whole picture includes the fact that going on one of these diets can leave you more depleted & further into dysfunction than where you were before you began. They do not address the root cause of symptoms, and they can also trigger orthorexic thoughts, food fears, & MORE food sensitivities. On this episode, we will break down each of the 5 diets by what they get right, what they get wrong, the missing minerals & nutrients, & why they feel "good" at first. Lastly, we're here to share that there IS a different way on your health pursuit, and one that supports your body on the most basic physiological level.

Join us as we sit down & discuss the following:

Why restrictive diets don't address the root cause of symptoms
How restrictive diets can trigger orthorexia & food fear
Food sensitivities - the inaccuracy of popular tests, & what we recommend instead
The Paleo diet
The AIP diet
The Keto diet
The Whole30 diet
Intermittent fasting
A bonus secret diet

Ashlee's Course: Bare Naked Hormones

7. PCOS to Pregnant: Healing Infertility | Ashlee Rowland May 26, 2021

Show notes

It's estimated that 1 in 8 couples are struggling with infertility, and it's clear that the mainstream health + wellness approach to infertility is not identifying & addressing the issue at its root. In this episode, we sit down with Ashlee Rowland, who spent 4 years trying ALL the popular "health" diets [fasting, keto, paleo, AIP... you name it - she's tried it]. The end result was further depletion, deeper imbalances, & even a PCOS diagnosis. By God's grace, a friend introduced her to the idea of her minerals & metabolism. After only 2 months of working to restore her metabolism & all that had been depleted from birth control + fad diets, Ashlee healed her infertility & got pregnant with her baby boy! She has since developed an online course called Bare Naked Hormones, which provides her own personal blueprints to turn down the noise of the wellness world & balance hormones holistically.

Join us as we sit down & discuss the following:

Ashlee’s health story & how she regressed into hormonal imbalance, PCOS, & infertility while doing all the “right” things
How Ashlee learned that her metabolism was the root of all her health issues
Ashlee’s infertility journey & why she realized she needed to stop trying to get pregnant while healing
The failure of mainstream health + wellness to address infertility at its root
