#227 - The in's and out's of continuous blood glucose monitors with Kate Deering Jun 13, 2023

Show notes

Should you use a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM)? What is a CGM? Why does blood sugar regulation matter anyway?

In our latest podcast episode, Kate Deering (Author of How To Heal Your Metabolism) and I dive deep into when a CGM makes sense and what kind of data it provides (as well as how you can interpret this data!).

Happy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield. Each month I choose someone who has shared and they get a tub of Saturée Premium Collagen valued at $79.

#224 - The power of red light with Bryan Thomas Jun 05, 2023

Show notes

Once you get the basics down, adding scientifically-proven wellness tools, like red light, can further your health journey.

I use red light to wind down and found it really helped with scarring and recovery after having my implants removed. Craig and I both have the red light face mask as well, and we’ve noticed a difference in our skin (and it’s just so relaxing).

So! Let’s dig into everything about red light. We welcome Bryan Thomas back on the podcast to shine the light on this wellness tool.

#221 - Losing 40lbs and fixing her digestive issues with Madisen Smith May 24, 2023

Show notes

If you’ve experienced persistent digestive issues, you can likely relate to Madison. In our latest podcast episode, Madison, who is 30 years old, single, and has no kids, describes her journey of overcoming gut problems.

From the vegan diet to the carnivore diet, Madison had been cycling through restrictive diets for years, trying to find the diet that solved her gut issues. From 2020 to 2022, due to stress and more, Madison gained 50 lbs and knew she needed more help.

After being in our program for a year, Madison has seen incredible changes, specifically in her body composition (even losing 40 lbs!). She says she’s more confident and worries less about food than before, now knowing she has a plan and food ready to eat.

#220 - Toxic diet culture with Danny Roddy May 22, 2023

Show notes

Have you listened to our new podcast episode with @thedannyroddyweblog? We talk about everything toxic diet culture.

Finding Dr Ray Peat's work has been a game-changer for me. I’m no longer afraid of food, and I now understand how to properly nourish my body. Before, I would never have eaten sugar or carbs and feel I’ve gained so much food freedom.

So, let’s talk about the problems with diet culture and how this way of life is vastly different from all the diet fads and quick-fixes out there.

Our podcast guests always have the best way of clarifying common myths and misconceptions! And @dr.alexorton is no exception.

We chatted about what detoxification actually means (Hint: It’s not drinking juice all day or doing crazy sh*t like taking herbal laxatives). Surprisingly (or potentially unsurprisingly), giving your body enough energy is essential for detoxification! Dr Alex Orton and I discuss all of this and more in our latest episode.
