S5E21 Why Carbs Are NOT The Cause Of Insulin Resistance, PCOS + Type 2 Diabetes | Calvin Scheller Jul 08, 2024

Calvin Scheller is an 18-year-old science extraordinaire who began studying and mastering medical literature in order to better communicate with his physicians after his own experience with autoimmune disease at the young age of 13. His courageous journey of self advocacy during a time when he felt alone and baffled by his symptoms led him to memorize, digest, integrate, and teach others about the complex mechanisms within our bodies (and how to heal through nutrition and lifestyle). He is a superb science communicator and now health coach – taking the difficulty out of reading medical studies, and putting the power of their information in our hands. Today, Calvin gives us a master class on insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, PCOS and why carbohydrates are NOT the cause of these conditions. We discuss the dietary factors that contribute to insulin resistance (and the many misconceptions you’ll find online), as well as the best ways to increase your insulin sensitivity and master your metabolic health well into old age.

HERE’S THE JUICE:

Why carbohydrates are not the cause of insulin resistance
How excess dietary fat is more problematic for insulin resistance than excess carbs or sugar
Why saturated fats can be more inflammatory within the context of insulin resistance than plant fats
The true mechanism behind insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome: excess fatty acids within our cells
How we can burn off the fatty acids that cause insulin resistance and why blood sugar spikes aren’t the FULL issue, they’re more of an effect
Why insulin resistance begins and how it’s actually an adaptation
How inflammation also drives insulin resistance and other holistic factors you need to take into account like chronic gut infections, to mineral deficiencies like zinc, to stress, processed foods, sleep issues and more
Why insulin resistance within the ovaries is specifically tied to PCOS and exactly how to target this with diet and lifestyle

S5E18 You Don’t Need to Be Vegan to Save the Earth | The Truth About Regenerative Agriculture with Taylor Collins Jun 17, 2024

Have you ever wondered if it’s possible to reverse the damage we have done to our earth? Have you been told that going vegan is the only way to do so? When Taylor Collins bought 900 acres of factory-farmed land, it was completely barren, desolate, and degraded. But by working with nature’s cycles and reintroducing animals in order to loosen the soil and give back to the land, Taylor transformed his farm into a thriving ecosystem that supports higher crop yields, healthier soil and more nutritious food. In this episode, we talk about the power of connection, the “green narrative,” and what we as consumers can do to help our earth today. The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now – let’s dive in!

HERE’S THE JUICE:

How factory farming works against nature’s principles to yield a higher output yet lower nutritional value
Taylor’s belief that humans aren’t inherently destructive but our values of “more more more” absolutely are
Why monocropping as a “solution” to global food insecurity is promoting a broken system
How regenerative farming mimics the cycles of nature and creates community
Why we don’t need to stop eating meat but we need to rethink how we do it

Why our farmers are in crisis – both personally and financially
How to vote with our dollars when it comes to food and support the growing community of regenerative farmers

S5E15 The Man Who Sits with Death on Why Relationships Make a Life | Sah D'Simone May 27, 2024

Statistically, there are 15 core people in our lives who will show up when sh$# hits the fan – our mother’s funeral, a cancer diagnosis – they’re on the next plane.

S5E14 A Real Conversation About Wellness Extremes, Cure-All Diets & How to Actually Find Balance | Shyla Cadogan, RD May 20, 2024

What does “good nutrition” actually mean – and why have we built a BILLION dollar industry that only makes us more confused about how to feed ourselves? Why is it that one day the internet is telling you to be a raw vegan, and 5 years later carnivore is suddenly a panacea? Shyla Cadogan is a registered dietitian focused on making nutrition simple again. Shyla explores the extensive impact that processed foods have on our bodies, while at the same time not putting perfection, whole foods or ‘superfoods’ on a pedestal. She brings some much needed nuance (and humor) to the question: what the heck should I eat and who should I listen to?

HERE’S THE JUICE:

Shyla’s transition from intense vegan diets to an unattached, simple way of fueling
The importance of finding the middle ground with nutrition rather than opting into extremes
Why nutrition professionals have a duty to keep things professional rather than trying to be cutting edge or go viral

How you can be anti-diet-culture and still not eat a lot of processed foods
Why Shyla says “a true relationship with food is having no relationship with it at all”
The importance of not shaming people for being imperfect in their health decisions and educating in a considerate manner
The history of “superfoods” and why the term is a bit of a scam
The distrust that the public currently has in dietitians (ie. thinking they’re paid by big pharma!)
How processed foods were originally created for war times and food corporations have used that opportunity to exploit us
How cultural foods play a role in healthy eating

This episode is a masterclass in all things breathwork, Kundalini, meditation, and deep emotional healing. When I did a trip to California this year I had this insane virus that was affecting the nerves in my neck. I was in so much pain and it was very much mirroring this emotional pain that I was in. I ended up having a one-on-one breath work session with Erika and I cried like a baby. It was the first time that I felt safe to actually let go and acknowledge how much pain I was in. I loved her technique and the way that she taught and held space for me felt so comfortable — I knew that I had to have her on the podcast so that she could give you guys a little bit of that magic that she shared with me and our one-on-one breathwork session.

S4E19: EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS WITHIN YOU – How to become more self aware, break free from limiting beliefs and love yourself wholeheartedly with Rebecca Leigh Nov 20, 2023

This week I have a fun, conversational episode for you that feels like a night of girl talk on the couch sprinkled with deep wisdom. Rebecca Leigh is a nutritionist passionate about all things holistic health and wellness.

In exploring holistic wellness, Rebecca learned the emotional and spiritual causes of her issues, examined them, and healed from them.

If you feel like you’re in a rut or need a motivational pep talk, this episode is for you! Doug Bopst is an award-winning personal trainer, author, and speaker. However, his young adult life couldn’t have been more different than his current reality. Around his 21st birthday, Doug was detoxing from opiates in a jail cell after years of drug addiction. He turned to physical exercise as an outlet which ultimately catalyzed him to face his demons head-on and completely reinvent himself. Doug’s mission today is to inspire others to overcome adversity, break free from destructive addictions, and become the best version of themselves.

S04E09: THE BINGE EATING EPISODE - addressing the root causes of disordered eating through nervous system regulation with Stephanie Mara Fox Sep 12, 2023

Welcome back to another episode of “What’s the Juice?”!. This week I’m chatting with Stephanie Fox, a Somatic Nutritional Counselor who has spent the past decade guiding women to feel empowered in their relationships with their food and their bodies. Stephanie specializes in disordered eating patterns, binge eating, emotional eating, chronic dieting, and body image concerns. She is the creator of Somatic Eating®, a body-oriented, sensation-focused therapeutic approach to connecting to your body while you are eating.

Here’s the juice:

how all of the gut protocols in the world couldn’t cure Stephanie’s chronic gut issues and what finally helped her
why if you're coming from a history of past trauma it’s hard to practice intuitive eating and how somatic eating must come first
how binge eating is really just your body communicating to you how unsafe it feels
it’s not about the food that we’re eating; it’s about the state that we’re in while we’re eating
how somatic psychotherapy is communicating with the body and learning the body’s language through sensation, emotion, urges, and impulses.
the questions we should be asking ourselves when we are feeling triggered
why we need to create “micromoments” of safety to slowly introduce that it’s okay to feel safe in our bodies
how we can confuse our own inner voice with the voices of others
why dieting is black and white and keeps us stuck in a box
ending relationships that don’t feel safe to our nervous systems can be pivotal in healing our guts

Today's guest, Dr. Anna Lembke, explains exactly how to reset your brain's reward system so that you can feel happy again — without reaching for something external. Dr. Lembke is a psychiatrist, author, and Chief of the Addiction Medicine Clinic at Stanford University. This incredible woman changed my life and I believe she is the antidote our world needs as we navigate never-ending stimuli from tech, social media, and dopamine-releasing pleasures.

addiction exists on a spectrum and we’re all affected by it; it’s so much broader than the extremes of alcoholism or drug addiction
Anyone can get addicted to ANYTHING and we don’t necessarily need to have a history of trauma or mental health obstacles to be impacted by addiction
there are proven benefits to doing a “dopamine fast” to reset your brain’s reward system
why delaying gratification in little ways, such as not checking your phone as soon as you wake up in the morning, leads to better outcomes of success in humans in life

S4E03: CAN WEIGHT LOSS & BODY POSITIVITY COEXIST? - Michelle Shapiro on restrictive diets, the “right way” to lose weight, and functional nutrition for anxiety & gut health Jul 21, 2023

This week's episode is with none other than the amazing Michelle Shapiro! In this insightful conversation, Michelle, a Holistic RD and self-proclaimed "Queen of the Middle Ground," shares her expertise after years of working with over a thousand clients. Michelle's approach to functional nutrition involves understanding the unique story of each individual, their environment, and the timeline that led them to their current situation. By identifying the root causes, she aims to heal issues rather than just managing them superficially. For instance, there's a big difference between avoiding certain foods for acid reflux versus understanding the deeper reasons behind the issue.

Here's the juice:

how Michelle lost 100lbs the WRONG way before becoming a dietitian (and how this led to hypothyroidism)
how almost anything that happens emotionally manifests physically, giving a whole new level of validation to symptoms that are "all in your head”
anxiety is a sacred messenger telling you something that needs to be addressed in your body (nutrient deficiencies, blood sugar dysregulation, etc.)
the root causes of anxiety and digestive disorders
what “intuitive eating” actually is + misconceptions
the extremes in the nutrition world of “no foods are toxic everything is a chemical" vs “all food must be perfectly clean”
why there are no “gut healing foods” that work for everyone
emotional and physical factors that contribute to binge eating and how to have compassion for our bodies trying to cope with big emotions

S3E26: HOW TO EMBRACE OUR GRIEF TO ACCESS JOY — Dr. Neeta Bhushan on the importance of emotional resilience through life's relentless hardships Dec 13, 2022

In this next episode of What’s the Juice, I had the opportunity to chat with the amazing Dr. Neeta Bhushan — former cosmetic dentist turned mental health coach, social entrepreneur, international speaker, and best-selling author behind the new book That Sucked. Now What? Before you tune in, I’ll let you know this — Neeta’s life has not been an easy one. She lost three immediate family members within the span of just three years, completely altering her life’s trajectory. Neeta later found herself stuck in an incredibly toxic marriage, resulting in a major wake-up call and healing journey that would redefine her life as she knew it. Our conversation is jam-packed with essential nuggets of information, like how imperative it is to find joy wherever you can, and a brief introduction to what’s known as the “Bounce Factor,” a four-step tool to determine your resiliency:

Examining your upbringing.
Leaning into “good” stress and doing what challenges/scares you.
Emotional capacity — i.e. your ability to “feel the feels.”
Radical self-awareness — i.e. your ability to tune into your life and see what’s going well or not going well.

S3E23: THE DOCTOR THAT CHANGED MY LIFE - preventing cognitive decline and insulin resistance, why muscle matters more than anything & the science behind a high-protein diet with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Nov 22, 2022

Today's guest, who has been my doctor for the last almost 6 years - is a physician with a passion for nutritional science and “muscle centric medicine” that has dedicated her life to helping ALL of us understand the importance of dietary protein. She's going to cover: ✔️How muscle improves metabolic markers relevant to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and PCOS - because skeletal muscle is our primary site for disposing of the glucose aka carbohydrates we eat in our diets (and if we don't have muscle, there's nowhere for it to go!), ✔️How this ties into the picture of preventing or delaying Alzheimer's, which is often called "type 3 diabetes of the brain" ✔️Why Alzheimer's starts 20+ years before it actually presents and is a disease of mid-life, not old age (plus what to do now in your 20s, 30s and 40s) ✔️Why muscle is an endocrine organ that just as important as your thyroid, and produces biochemistry-altering compounds just like the thyroid produces hormones! ✔️How muscle is essentially alive, and is a nutrient sensing organ - it quite literally senses the amino acids we consume via diet, and how this sensitivity decreases as we age ✔️What protein threshold per meal you need to build muscle ✔️The difference between plant and animal protein in terms of amino acid quality ✔️Why leucine is the most important amino acid and why we need more as we age ✔️How much protein you should be eating based on your body weight ✔️How hormone changes and menopauses affect this picture ✔️Why body composition matters and how excess adipose tissue affects the brain ✔️And EXACTLY what you can start doing TODAY to become healthier, sharper, and hormonally optimized as you age.

S3E22: HOW TO REVERSE YOUR (BIOLOGICAL) AGE — using “epigenetics”, food & herbs to change your genes and live longer with Dr. Kara Fitzgerald Nov 15, 2022

This season of the podcast, I’ve been working to define vitality and well-being through a framework I call the “10 Pillars of Health.” While many health experts boast a profound sense of knowledge in one or two pillars specifically, my next guest — the acclaimed Dr. Kara Fitzgerald — is incredibly well-versed in all 10.

Dr. Fitzgerald’s latest book, “Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better,” explores the science behind longevity and her discovery of a three-year reversal of biological aging, so you know I had to get the deets. In this revelatory conversation, we cover how the following can actually hack your epigenome:

Methyl-donor nutrients (found in whole foods like beets, eggs, leafy greens, mushrooms, seeds, etc.)
Methylation adaptogens (quercetin, circumin, resveratrol, green tea, etc.)
Exercise
Sleep
Oxytocin release

And more. As always, tune into the episode to dive deeper into these essential nuggets of information. And be sure to share your thoughts with me on IG: @shoporganicolivia.

S3E20. YOUR BRAIN DETERMINES YOUR HORMONES (not your ovaries alone) - why nervous system regulation and our identities are key for physical health w/ Zesty Ginger Nov 01, 2022

In this episode I’m sitting down with Megan Blacksmith and Dr. Alex Golden, the force behind Zesty Ginger, to talk about the power of subconsciousness and how brain chemistry is a deciding factor for everything in your daily life. After individually dealing with chronic hormonal imbalances, the duo developed what’s known as the Four Phase Cycle Approach to help women regain control over their health. In this episode, we had the opportunity to discuss an array of incredible topics, including everything from the irrefutable mind-body connection to seven practical steps you can take to “heal,” whatever that means to you. A big focus of this episode is looking at how to account for your complete health while trying to achieve a specific goal. This is where the “Four Bodies” come in: Physical, Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual. In order to reach total fulfillment where happiness and wellness merge, you must nurture the mind-body connection. Simply put, you could take the most amazing supplements in the world, but if you’re not nourishing your mental health, the effort is futile.

S3E18. ARE YOU MAL-ILLUMINATED? - using light as a tool for healing, what a lack of full-spectrum UV can do + how red light therapy can help with BioLight Founder Dr. Mike Belkowski Oct 18, 2022

Did you know you might be mal-illuminated? If you’re not getting enough exposure to full-spectrum UV light (aka soaking up some sun), your cells might not be working as well as they should. Here to *enlighten* us about how our bodies use UV light and how red light therapy can be beneficial is physical therapist and founder/CEO of BioLight, Dr. Mike Belkowski.

We’ll go over how red light and infrared light therapy works, some of the things it can be used for, and why we all probably need to get outside more. Let’s get juicy!

PS - Thanks to Dr. Mike, I started using a travel-sized red light device from his line called the Shine. I became a believer when my digestion was off the day we filmed this podcast, and he told me to put it directly on my stomach for 10 minutes and see if I felt a difference. Not only did my stomach ache get better – my mind felt calmer too, which he explained is because red light therapy works on the gut-brain axis. I’ve truly loved this device ever since and keep it next to my bed in case I wake up in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep (a few minutes on my forehead or stomach works like a charm to calm my mind down). I’ve also used it for headaches and a mood boost in the winter months!

If you feel inspired after hearing about red light and want to try the same device I use, BioLight extended code ORGANICOLIVIA (all caps) for a discount on any of their products.

S3E17. ASK THE HERBALIST: A CONVO ABOUT VICES + HOW TO START EATING HEALTHY - tips for having a healthier relationship with substances from cannabis to caffeine & how to implement better eating habits without feeling overwhelmed Oct 11, 2022

Every month on What’s The Juice Podcast, I’m doing a full episode dedicated to your personal health, wellness, and REAL LIFE questions that we receive through our hotline (929-591-6432 to leave a voicemail and be featured on our next one). This is my favorite series that we’ve done, not only because I get to connect with you guys & hear your voices, thoughts, questions, and struggles… but because it allows me to explore topics and get vulnerable about personal learning experiences that I wouldn’t normally cover but NEED to be shared. In this episode, I cover:

my “holistic” view of addiction in general from a root cause, nervous system perspective (due to my personal experience)
neutrality and curiosity vs. judgment
how to examine your relationship with ANY substance (whether nicotine, caffeine, other stimulants, sugar, food, cannabis, etc) with an eye of compassion for the ‘body wisdom’ aka: thank you body for finding a way to cope — can we dig deeper on what purpose this substance is serving so we can find the root?
nicotine and the connection to ADHD + how with most things, we’re likely self-medicating!
the traditional herbalism view on smoking, the lungs, grief, and herbal substitutes that calm “wind”/tension + regulate the nervous system
my personal journey with cannabis, caffeine, and food/sugar as my coping mechanisms of choice
the connection to dopamine and dietI also answer another listener question about where to start when eating healthy feels complicated and overwhelming, plus tips on finding purpose and fulfillment when life feels out of control.

This season is all about getting in touch with, listening to, and supporting your body—and that includes your skin. Did you know your skincare routine might actually be damaging your skin or preventing it from doing its job?

Here to help us pare down our routine to let our skin microbiome thrive is the lovely Nadine Artemis. Nadine is the creator of the natural beauty & lifestyle brand Living Libations and author of Renegade Beauty and Holistic Dental Care: The Complete Guide to Healthy Teeth and Gums.

Nadine will explain:

- why feeding and protecting our topical microbiome is the way to healthy skin

- why we're simply "hosts to a bacterial banquet" and need to preserve those little guys for long term, inside-out beauty

- why we don't just have one microbiome, we have different and unique types (oral, vgaginal, ear nose throat, gut, skin); and how the microbiome of the face is completely different from the palms or armpits

- how to "let bacteria be the beautician" and stop stripping our skin so we can build back up the bugs we were meant to have

- what products strip the microbiome and how to "stop, seal, and seed" to repopulate our bugs

- why oil cleansing is the best thing you can do for your skin and how to do it properly

- why our skin was designed to function and thrive with a healthy amount of exposure to sunlight

- the difference between getting real sun and supplementing Vitamin D + why we need all the wavelengths for our Vitamin D receptors and mitochondria

- how to avoid sunburn and sun damage by supporting your mitochondria with key nutrients, red light therapy, and gradual sun exposure

- everything you need to know about microbiome-friendly oral care

- how the lymphatic system interacts with our gums and teeth, and why brushing our gums and caring for the lymph within the mouth is key

- Nadine's 7 steps to a healthier oral microbiome

- how putting therapeutic oils on your floss can help deliver therapeutic ingredients to your gums + in between your teeth!

S3E14. WHY AUTOIMMUNITY IS ON THE RISE - root cause solutions + a refreshing take on both physical and emotional contributors with “Hashimoto’s Healer” Marc Ryan Sep 20, 2022

Autoimmune disease, including Hashimoto’s, seems to be on the rise these days. Why are autoimmune issues so common, what factors influence their development, and—most importantly—how can we best support our bodies on a root cause level?

Here to help us answer those questions is Marc Ryan, also known as “Hashimoto’s Healer,” a licensed acupuncturist & herbalist, author of two books on Hashimoto’s, and functional medicine expert.

Marc is going to break down:

- the best diet for autoimmune disease (especially thyroid conditions)

- the true root causes of autoimmune imbalances from a functional medicine perspective

- Traditional Chinese Medicine’s (TCM) take on what organs and meridians are affected, and how to help

- why each gland in the body (pineal, pituitary, thyroid) has an emotional and spiritual aspect relating to everything from feeling like we’re part of a community, to speaking our truth, to having a deep sense of purpose

- why TCM's pattern of "Liver Qi Stagnation" is important to understand with all autoimmune disease (and how the sun actually supports our liver meridian)

- why circadian rhythm is important for autoimmunity and the liver

- how to keep a food journal to understand what foods may be triggering imbalances in your gut microbiome (and why noting emotional reactions like feeling down after certain foods or tension in your jaw is just as important as physical reactions)

- why social connection plays a major role in thyroid and all autoimmune disorders

- why being a part of the cycle of your food (soil->plate->compost), instead of being disconnected from its origin, matters for your gut health just as much as what you eat

I love this episode because Marc is so knowledgeable about the tangible things we can do in terms of diet, gut health, and reducing inflammation -- and yet he isn’t afraid to get a little spiritual and explore the intangible things that drain the human spirit and end up manifesting physically.

S3E11. PARENTING OUR KIDS AND OURSELVES W/ BOUNDARIES + SELF REFLECTION - Dr. Siggie on using intuition, curiosity, and patience to approach our relationships with kids, adults, and our inner child Aug 23, 2022

This is the episode we didn’t know we needed– EVEN IF YOU’RE NOT A PARENT! I took so much value from this convo with Dr. Siggie Cohen because although she is a renowned parenting expert… what she’s really teaching us today is how to be a compassionate, boundaried human that knows how to meet another human (big or little) exactly where they are.

Parenting is one of the most challenging tasks we can take on; partially because raising a tiny creature with really big emotions takes a LOT of patience and energy, but also because of the way our reactions to those big emotions tell us about how we’re parenting our own inner child.

Dr. Siggie is a child and family therapist with over 35 years of experience. As a parenting expert who works with toddlers through teens, Dr. Siggie covers how best to connect with your kids in a way that benefits both you and them. By putting our egos aside and consistently asking “what’s underneath the surface of the conflict in front of me?,” we can experience healthier interactions with not only our children, but within all other relationships in our lives.

“Your goal is not to make your child's life easy, it's to show them they can do hard things.” Dr. Siggie believes that you don’t always want your child to be happy— in fact, they MUST learn to not only recognize but sit with other emotions as well (like frustration, jealousy, boredom and disappointment) in order to function through life’s challenges. By teaching our kids to be mindful and accepting of the full spectrum of difficulty and joy, we actually protect them from dismissing, denying, or being overtaken by any one of these complex feelings.

Likewise, when we’re feeling unhappy ourselves (perhaps we’ve “failed” at an important project or made a major mistake), Dr. Siggie talks us through how to both practice and model productive, solution-oriented self-reflection, using every bump in the road as a learning opportunity for ourselves and the little ones that look up to us.

Whether you have kids, are thinking about having kids, or simply want to reparent yourself, these tips should help you foster healthier relationships with yourself, your kids, and others in your life. Let’s get juicy!
