Stevie Smith- Bloodwork Sep 18, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, I sit with Stevie Smith, a registered Dietitian from InsideTracker, to talk about all things bloodwork. I partnered with InsideTracker because I realized not all bloodwork is created equal, and InsideTracker met my high standards as they test optimal ranges for our biomarkers. I like the idea of optimal for myself and my clients. Hey, I've got my long-term health goals of no flares for life, and I want to ensure my biomarkers are on point.

I tried out InsideTracker on myself and was so taken by the experience that I signed on immediately to offer it to my wonderful clients! Also, tracking bloodwork for my clients was a great way to show how diet alone can make such a significant impact. I also love that InsideTracker has a great app and gives you food options for bringing up your biomarkers. As you know, I am food forward or food first. I have been off supplements for 10 years, and yep, food has been enough despite the rhetoric that our food is depleted of nutrients. Kinda wild, right? Anyway, I hope you enjoy our chat!

Ryan M- Healing Story. Aug 21, 2022

Show notes

Today's Podcast is a healing story from an Instagram LIVE I did with Ryan in 2020. Ryan began having symptoms in 2018 and was diagnosed with Crohn's soon after. Ryan started steroids and transitioned onto Remicade. It helped correct his downward spiral, but he was still struggling with gut and other health issues he wanted to clear up.At the urging of his wonderful girlfriend, he listened to my Podcast with Lacy Phillips on ToBeMagnetic and Soon after, he started my e-course. At first, Ryan started loosely, and as he saw results, he decided to set up his first call and go all in. Ryan wanted to feel great, build healthy habits and go into remission. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Ryan, and I hope it inspires you along your healing path.

Dr. Cassie Huckaby- Your Life Is Your Medicine. Aug 07, 2022

Show notes

Episode 13. Your Life Is Your Medicine.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Huckaby about her hard-earned philosophy and belief that your life is your medicine. She also points out the simple and undeniable truth that your body is always healing. I hope you enjoy our conversation. I resonate with her views of our amazing human body, as I have experienced firsthand my life as my medicine. A lot of my medicine was not adding in but simplifying and stopping behaviors that interfered with my body's ability to do the work it was already doing- healing.

Dr. Deanna Minich- Anti- Nutrients Jul 12, 2022

Show notes

Episode 11.

In this episode, we discuss the review paper Dr. Minich co-authored with Weston Petroski about anti-nutrients. In this review, they took a deep dive into the scientific literature and debated what they gleaned. They also suggest how to prep the foods in question if you are concerned or feel you don't respond well to certain foods. Nutrition is very individual at the end of the day.

We also discuss the emerging literature on the benefits of "anti-nutrients" for the gut lining, colon cancer, and inflammatory markers. And the more recent discovery that oxalates chelate heavy metals? Nature is so cool. I hope you enjoy this conversation!

Dr. Deanna Minich is an internationally-recognized teacher, author, scientist, speaker, and artist.

She has more than 20 years of diverse, well-rounded experience in the fields of nutrition and functional medicine, including clinical practice, research, product formulation, writing, and education. Her doctoral (Ph.D.) research focused on essential fatty acid absorption and metabolism, and her Master of Science degree (M.S.) allowed her to explore the health benefits of the colorful, plant-based carotenoids. She has authored six books on health and wellness and over forty scientific publications. Currently, she serves as advisor to various food, academic and health organizations and teaches as Faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine and the University of Western States. She has developed an online certification program for health professionals so that they can apply the color-coded 7 Systems of Full-Spectrum Health in their practice. Her lectures are heard by patients and practitioners throughout the world. Dr. Minich’s passion is teaching a whole-self approach to nourishment and bridging the gaps between science, spirituality, and art in medicine.

Unique Hammond- Thoughts on Healing Jun 27, 2022

Show notes

Today's Podcast is a solo podcast. In this episode, I share my thoughts and experience around healing my body.

Healing a body is much different than keeping a body well. Many in the social health space are putting out information helpful to healthy people. Balance? A fantastic idea, but seldom beneficial for those who are unwell. The unwell often need a complete course correction in diet, lifestyle, mind, and spirit to change the tides of disease. I hope my healing story helps illuminate the path ahead and provides some actionable insights. I was safely unwell for a long time before I got sick. Not knowing that my idea of balance was feeding my disease silently. These days I live well, eat well, and help others do the same.
