Often times someone will blend a bunch of fruits and vegetables up thinking they are making an awesome, super nutrient dense “meal to go”. But, there might be more to the story.

Our Standard American Diet keeps glucose high, creates insulin resistance and so much systemic inflammation. All of this is a recipe for mental health dysfunction. FAT is good for your brain CHOLESTEROL is good for your brain KETONES are amazing for your brain (clean fuel) Part of it is about removing the source of the dysfunction, the other part is about adding NOURISHMENT into your body and specifically your brain! Lisa Parker, FNP, is a metabolic specialist and in this episode she dives in to this topic. We touch on how some of this can drive eating disorders, how medications can make this blood sugar/insulin problem worse and how we have kids on this cycle of crappy food, medications and mental health issues with them are through the roof. We need to do better! And we can!

I'm hearing a lot of health and fitness people on social media say things like “you shouldn't remove an entire food group from your diet” or “low carb/keto is way too restrictive”. I get it, I used to say the same things. But when it comes to “food freedom”, sometimes you need to trade through in for “health freedom”. Let's dive into this together!

There are two different ways to define “keto foods”. Let's define those and strategize about how to have a smart approach to this that helps you actually reach your goals and feel AMAZING!! Find me here: www.thatvibrantlife.com FB/thatvibrantlife IG/that_vibrantlife

There are some very common things I see people doing with keto (I'm raising my hand here because I am not immune to these mistakes) that really trip them up and hold them back from reaching goals! It might surprise you that sometimes adhering too much to certain “keto rules” can be part of these mistakes! Join my 8 week virtual Keto for Woman group that starts MONDAY, June 6th!! Details and signup here: https://healthwithjessacademy.teachable.com/p/ketoforwomen-virtualprogram   Find me here: www.thatvibrantlife.com FB/thatvibrantlife IG/that_vibrantlife

There are many approaches to the ketogenic diet and yours should depend on your goals! A higher fat protocol works well for some and can be quite therapeutic if there are any neurological or neurodegenerative issues one is trying to combat. If losing weight is your focus, you might want to zero in on the protein. Listen in for the “why” behind this and some of the things you should consider when it comes to protein! My next KETO FOR WOMEN group starts June 6th! Find out more here: https://healthwithjessacademy.teachab... Find me at www.thatvibrantlife.com IG: that_vibrantlife FB: thatvibrantlife

Let's talk about some big reasons that validate making your own health decisions! We are used to this protocol: “identify a problem, diagnose, prescribe”! There' is such a better approach and I believe we have the right to choose how we address our own health issues!   Listen in! I have some things to kind of "chew on" when it comes to why this should really be the case for people. WHY we should weigh our options and perhaps even look at our health differently! I am a firm believer in being our own advocates! Find me here: www.thatvibrantlife.com FB/thatvibrantlife IG/that_vibrantlife

I have been on a huge spiritual journey these past few years and it has led me to get involved in government! That might sound crazy…but listen in! It is NOT a time to just sit back or live in fear!

Commercials, grocery stores, politics, schools…you see the “plant based push” EVERYWHERE. I understand the “why”…but let's talk a little deeper about science and the possibility that getting rid of meat is not necessarily the right direction. I was vegetarian for several years; this is not about bashing someone's choices…let's be clear on that!

I want to talk about our children, their overall health, including mental health, and the fact that none of what has been done concerning them and the “vid” has been good. Let's focus on getting them healthier than they were even pre-pandemic. If we have learned anything from these past two years (when it comes to health), it should be that our health in the US is horrible and deserves a TON of attention!! This goes for kids and adults.

I used to think KETO was a horrible fad that would ruin health! I had zero understanding of how it works and it had never donned on me that it could be done in a holistic manner. Once a bunch of holistic practitioners that I've followed for years and really respect started talking about the health benefits of it, my ears perked up! I then spent a ton of time researching it and have now followed a ketogenic protocol myself for about 4 years. Listen in for some details on all of this, plus information on how my virtual KETO for Women group works! This is an 8 week program and we start January 10th! You can sign up now for instant access to the materials and the private FB group will start on 1/10. This allows you time to get your head in the game and prepare your kitchen for the program!

No one would argue that the world had been a little weird the last couple of years. I believe there is a lot to this and that this is a Spiritual battle above anything.

I've been on a very long journey trying to figure out what's been going on with my body since June of 2018. I have been to mainstream doctors and neurologists who offer very little…well…very little of anything except frustration.   I have been told by a couple of medical practitioners that I could be facing an MS diagnosis and the symptoms match (it can take YEARS for this diagnosis).   HOWEVER, I have decided to dive into this myself from a functional, root cause approach and am addressing the mercury in my body as the next and biggest task on my list.   Please join me for my journey! This episode gives you a snapshot of 2018 to now for me and next week I will have the first of my dental procedures done with a biological dentist to SAFELY remove the mercury amalgams from my mouth.   EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! You MUST have amalgams removed safely. NO amount of mercury is safe in the human body and any disruption without careful precautions will lead to acute exposure.   ALSO: you cannot detox mercury safely from your body until all of the amalgams are out.   Please tune into this episode for details!   www.thatvibrantlife.com FB/thatvibrantlife IG/ that_vibrantlife

I have seen people hyper focus on ketones while following a ketogenic protocol.   Ketones are quite therapeutic for many reasons. However, if your goal is to lose weight, you might want to track blood sugar instead.   Please tune in for my 5 reasons for tracking blood sugar instead of ketones!   www.thatvibrantlife.com FB: thatvibrantlife IG: that_vibranife

My friend Laurie shared her story recently (bad reaction to put it mildly) in Episode 27. She was told the medical practitioners don't know how to treat the people that are having these issues and being referred to rheumatology, so they aren't taking these new patients. In today's episode I dive into MY perspective and how I would encourage us all to step away from how we are being told to react, and instead listen, research and at the very least honor the fact that real human beings are actually having these experiences.

This is kind of a part 2 from episode 26 when I went in more detail on what my covid experience was like and how I handled it. This goes a little more into what I personally could've done better for prevention and recovery. There are things, though, that I did that I would urge anyone to do if you have not yet had it! Find me here: www.thatvibrantlife.com FB/vibrantlife IG/that_vibrantlife Sponsored by: www.oregonvalleyfarm.com FB/oregonvalleyfarm IG/oregonvalleyfarm

It's been over 80 days since Laurie has gotten *sauced*. Her journey has been frightening, frustrating and depressing at times. She is finally going back to work after almost 3 months of dealing with these symptoms, getting test after test done and still not having much actual help. Thankfully Laurie is a strong advocate for her own health and well-being, knows how to research and has done so much to gradually gain some normalcy back. She's still dealing with a lot and some of this might be a lifelong journey; but she shared the positive side of her growth through it all as well. One quite interesting thing to note is that her experience was recognized and documented in her charts. Meaning, doctors acknowledged that what she is dealing with is indeed from the sauce. I was surprised by that.

Bridget is the perfect example of having all the challenges to make healthy choices hard, but doing it anyway!!!

Magnesium is responsible for over 300 enzymatic reactions in your body!! It is ESSENTIAL. Your body does not make it, therefore we must get it exogenously.

There are so many daily issues people deal with that range from very minor to very serious that absolutely stem from electrolyte imbalance. Unfortunately we don't talk enough about this. I really only knew about electrolytes growing up in relation to playing a sport or getting sick and that they were important then…but I didn't exactly know why. Electrolytes impact our hearts, our brains, our bone health, as well as regulating fluid balance and promoting nerve and muscle function. Very important little guys! Listen in for an overview of electrolytes, why they get depleted, symptoms of this, what to do about it, etc. In upcoming episodes we will dive into individual electrolytes since they are each so specialized in what they do and it's important to understand in terms of YOUR body and health. I can't stress enough how important this is. It is very common for me to encounter a client with some concerning issues that often come down to this very thing: electrolytes. _________ Vibrant Life is sponsored by Oregon Valley Farm www.oregonvalleyfarm.com IG/oregonvalleyfarm FB/oregonvalleyfarm   You can find me at www.thatvibrantlife.com IG/healthwithjessica FB/healthwithjess

I know: super controversial topic.   My point in discussing this is to hopefully have people understand that there are personal reasons for being hesitant. Enough of the name calling and finger pointing. Also, let's talk about those who have had it and have immunity! That should be a huge topic right now. Why isn't it??   Remember that at the end of the day we are bio individuals with very distinct bodies, health, reactions, etc. Let's get back to having respect for one another and also some actual critical thinking rather than all the divisiveness.

We are being told to cover our faces and get injected, and I have seen a bunch of incentive by using junk food and fast food. We have political figures telling us they cover their face even when they don't need to because it sets an example, but there are also those eating crap food and encouraging it as a “reward” for getting injected.   Stop.

In this episode I mention several people with large followings that I would highly suggest you go follow and support as part of the “what to do”!
