Welcome to an enlightening episode as we unravel the conundrums of feeding children with Joe Carr, the co-founder of Serenity Kids. A company that's created a ripple in the nutrition industry, Serenity Kids is recognized for its nutrient-packed baby food, toddler food, snacks, and toddler formula. As a doting parent himself, Joe, along with his wife, Serenity, embarked on this journey to fill the void in the market and provide balanced, non-sugary food options for children.

The conversation radiates a palpable sense of how much thought and effort goes into making every serving a nourishing feast for the little ones. Delving into the nitty-gritty of child nutrition, we illuminate the problems with the contemporary diet of babies and children. With carbs, protein, and fat having their own significant place in a balanced diet, we discuss the necessity of pairing carbs with protein and fat. What's more, we deliberate the 'one to one to two' ratio of protein, fat, and carbs that can be a game-changer in child nutrition. We also emphasize the importance of instilling the idea of pairing carbs with fat and protein in children from an early age, thereby enabling them to make informed dietary choices as they grow. As we walk through the creation of a family farmer-centric supply chain, Joe highlights the importance of regenerative agriculture. We touch upon how it can be instrumental in reversing climate change, supporting family farms, and most importantly, ensuring the health of our future generation. This episode is a treasure trove of insights and advice on feeding children, fostering healthy eating habits, and raising a nutritionally aware generation.

In this episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with Hilda Labrada Gore. She is the host and producer of the Wise Traditions podcast and the founder of Holistic Hilda. Hilda is not only a seasoned podcaster but also a certified health coach and an experiential anthropologist.  Hilda's passion for exploring ancient health traditions has taken her on a journey akin to that of Dora the Explorer 2.0. Her ultimate goal is to uncover ways to restore energy and vitality to humanity.  One of the beautiful stories Hilda is sharing with us today includes that of a midwife and healer from Ecuador whom she had encountered and imparted a profound lesson – that the human body is sacred. Struck by this message, Hilda thought about how she could share this with others and inspire them to treat themselves with greater care and respect. If more people understood that they were perfect and beautiful in their own right, perhaps they would nourish themselves differently. When we treat our bodies with reverence and care, we can experience greater health, happiness, and fulfillment in all areas of our lives. In this episode, you will hear: Looking to the past for good health today The story of the man with the walking stick Making the shift back to real foods The power of the body to heal itself The healing cycle between humans and the land The importance of looking to the past for good health Planning your travel and making connections Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

It's a disturbing thought - the billions of microplastics that pollute our oceans can seep into the fish that inhabit them. And when we consume these fish, we are inadvertently also ingesting these harmful microplastics. It's a vicious cycle that has serious implications for both our health and the environment.

The average margin for farmers and ranchers in the country is only one and a half percent, making it challenging to create a sustainable system. However, connecting with our food and having an understanding of the whole lifecycle of an animal can help us achieve food stability. In a conversation with Kate Kavanaugh, the owner of Ground Work Collective, we learn about her passion for animals and the land, which led her to open Western Daughters Butcher Shoppe in 2013. Three years ago, she and her husband bought a farm in upstate New York where they practice regenerative agriculture. Kate is also a nutrition therapist and the host of the Mind, Body, and Soil Podcast. Kate believes that promoting both environmental and financial sustainability for farmers and ranchers is crucial. She and her team created the Ground Work Collective, which connects consumers with farmers and ranchers who use holistic land management practices. With over 2,000 farmers and ranchers on the site, Ground Work Collective ensures that each farmer meets their standards to the best of their ability. By sharing stories of farmers and ranchers with their customers and their meat's impact on customers, Ground Work creates a space where urban and rural environments can connect. In this episode, you will hear: The decision to eat meat in her 20s Supporting regenerative agriculture in the front range The local aspect of meat through Ground Work The importance of connecting with our food What is a soil food web?

You might have heard the saying, "It's not about the destination, it's about the journey." But how often do we actually live by those words? We often focus so much on where we're trying to go that we forget to enjoy the ride. We hold ourselves back from being happy because we don't feel like we deserve it or we're not doing enough. Today, Cassidy Ceresa from Cassidy Eats is here to remind us that we are worthy of happiness. She shares some tips on how to simplify well-balanced living without making major sacrifices. As a behavior change coach, content creator, podcast host, and head of parties at Partytrick, Cassidy is all about empowering people to make positive changes. Cassidy believes that there is a world in which you can have a healthy, balanced lifestyle, where you don't have to sacrifice a single thing and not restrict yourself in any way. Simplifying well-balanced living is never going to be "either-or" – it's always going to be both. Living a balanced, healthy lifestyle is not so much about being on track or off track. It's about making the commitment to understand yourself and serve yourself in an authentic way. In this episode, you will hear: Balancing work and personal health and wellness Self-worth and self-love are important factors in weight loss Why tracking points do not work Overcoming the fear of diet culture and diet thinking Trusting yourself to know how to eat You're in charge of your own experience!

If you were to cut yourself, and you get a little scab, what you'll find if you put it under a microscope would be full of platelets. As that scab starts to remold itself you will find the platelets on the underside that you can't see. They are breaking open and releasing these things called growth factors and cytokines from platelets to instigate that healing process.  Hence, through PRP injections, they're harnessing that same power by pulling platelets out of your blood, in this instance a PRP, and causing that same kind of healing process in areas that don't usually have good blood flow.  In today's episode, let's have a talk with Chaz Fausel, MD, a Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) Specialist about the different stem cell and PRP injections available in the market right now and how they can impact your health over time.

If you've never heard of mistletoe therapy, well, you are not alone. Though it's not a widely known therapy in the United States, this has been used in Europe for over 100 years, to not only kill cancer cells, but to also help cancer patients deal with some of the adverse effects of both cancer and cancer treatment. In this episode, I'm joined by Ivelisse Page, executive director and co-founder of the nonprofit organization Believe Big, which helps cancer patients face, fight, and overcome cancer. Diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer at the young age of 37, Ivelisse has been busy doing so much with Believe Big, getting mistletoe therapy in the hands of anyone facing cancer. Currently, they offer grants to cancer patients to pursue and release the financial burden that thousands of families have to gain access to this care that's not typically covered by insurance. They're also working with Johns Hopkins to do a four-phase study on mistletoe therapy. Whether cancer is a first-hand experience of yours or you know of other family members and friends who have to deal with cancer, hopefully, this episode will shed light on mistletoe therapy as an affordable and effective treatment. In this episode, you will hear: Ivelisse's story of cancer diagnosis Getting individualized care instead of standardized care How mistletoe therapy is used in the realm of integrative medicine The effect of mistletoe therapy on the patients who are on it The basics of mistletoe therapy: mechanism, dose, and cost The future of mistletoe therapy in the U.S. Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

A lot of patients come to these GLP-1 medications thinking it's a magic pill for losing weight. However, this may not be a lasting solution for you.

You could be treating food sensitivities but if you're too focused on just that, you may be barking at the wrong tree. It's important that while you're looking to heal your gut, it's also important to make eating fun! In this episode, we're joined by Alison Marras of Food by Mars, as she talks about when and how to utilize healing diets like AIP and Paleo. Alison is a nutritional therapy practitioner who is passionate about supporting women dealing with food sensitivities, gut issues, and autoimmune stuff.  It's important to have a healthy relationship with food. However, diet is just one component of our overall health. Sure, it's extremely powerful. But if we keep overcorrecting with our diets, we're potentially getting way too much power to it that we fail to look at the other critical stuff (ex. movement, sleep, stress, etc.)  While food is medicine, all those things are medicine, too, so we need to pay attention to those as well. Listen in as Alison shares her wisdom and learn why you shouldn't feel so crazy around food and gut healing that you forget the other components of health that are just as important.  In this episode, you will hear: The need for supporting the foundation of our health What makes up an AIP diet Addressing the root cause of your health issues Advice for food allergies and food restrictions Focusing on what you can eat versus what you cannot eat Principles around healing your gut Understanding the individual differences in sensitivities The importance of a healthy relationship with food Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

People who have struggled with chronic illness can be so misunderstood, especially with Lyme disease that's like a “silent” illness. In this conversation, I'm going to share the mic with Brooke Geahan of the Heal Hive where she talks about bee venom therapy in curing Lyme disease and other chronic infections.  Brooke contracted Lyme disease that had infiltrated her immune system and the use of antibiotics wasn't helpful at all. For three years, she tried to find a way through, and that included losing her job and her home. She basically went from being a fully independent woman who had a lot of dreams ahead of her to literally losing everything. Every protocol she tried just made her sicker and more bankrupt in every way – emotionally, financially, and spiritually.  After a nurse who dealt with the same disease helped her out, she was able to walk within a week. Brooke dove into the science of bee venom, specifically, the actual mechanics of it and its health benefits, which eventually led to the creation of Heal Hive. In this episode, you will hear: Cultures where the bee venom therapy started and why it's not as popular in the U.S. How the bee venom works Best practices to prepare your body for the bee venom Why it's imperative to understand what's going on in people's systems Dealing with the trauma of chronic illness Other health benefits of bee venom therapy Creating a positive community of members Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

Celiac disease occurs in about 1% of the United States population, and only about half of women are diagnosed, which is a very low rate of diagnosis. Unfortunately, celiac disease has no cure. But by understanding this disease a bit better – its genetic and environmental components, risk factors, complications, and diagnosis – we can hopefully better manage celiac disease and still enjoy the life that we want.  In today's conversation, Dr. Peter Green, who runs the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University, joins us to talk more about celiac disease, particularly what triggers it and how it can be tested.  In this episode, you will hear: What is celiac disease?

Hey guys! We're actually overdue for a new healing update since the last one I did was back in Episode 39. Before jumping to today's episode (or even after), it would be helpful for you to listen to Episode 43, where I had my health coach, Cynthia Mathes, talk about the Best Ways to Lose Weight Naturally. I am working with Cynthia on this targeted approach to both healing and weight loss. We did a lot of healing work over the last four months on my gut and I'm going to share with you how we're treating it. The gut is connected to pretty much everything else in the body and keeping it healthy is definitely crucial. One challenge currently at hand is that I'm supposed to be in this weight loss portion of the process, yet it has not worked. However, I'm still very much encouraged by the sheer amount of healing that I have experienced over the last four years.  Today, I'm going to talk about the last piece of my healing and wellness journey: blood sugar. My blood sugar is higher than it should be and apparently, high blood sugar can make weight loss close to impossible. Listen in as I explain how we're approaching this. Hopefully, all the things that I'm learning are also going to help you learn more about your body, your health, and your wellness. In this episode, you will hear: Findings from my GI map How having a healthy gut is important for healing How blood sugar works How blood sugar affects metabolism Tips for managing blood sugar The benefits of a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) How Semaglutide works Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?
