"For women over 40, there is a lot we can do before we start or stop taking so many things. Get your hormones tested, understand your baseline, and then make decisions." — Renee Fitton In this episode of Turmeric & Tequila™, host Kristen Olson sits down with Renee Fitton, Vice President of Healthcare and Sales at ProLon, to unpack the often-overlooked but critical topic of women's health. From perimenopause to menopause, Renee shares her evidence-based approach to hormonal optimization and the science behind fasting mimicking diets (FMD). This conversation goes beyond surface-level wellness advice. Renee discusses the significant research gap between women's and men's health studies, the importance of establishing hormone baselines before making health decisions, and practical strategies for women over 40 to optimize their health naturally. The episode also touches on breaking free from restrictive eating patterns, the role of adaptogens and supplements, and what true success means in 2026. Whether you're in perimenopause, navigating menopause, or simply interested in longevity and hormone health, this episode offers actionable insights grounded in nutritional science and compassionate wellness guidance.

On this episode, Jared starts a new series - Mighty Minerals! He kicks the series off by exploring lithium from a completely different perspective—not just as a psychiatric medication, but as a naturally occurring trace mineral that may play a role in mood balance, stress resilience, sleep rhythm, and cognitive support. You'll learn the difference between high-dose pharmaceutical lithium and low-dose nutritional lithium, why dosage and intent matter, and how integrative practitioners are using micro-doses as part of a broader wellness strategy. Jared also breaks down how lithium interacts with circadian rhythm, neurotransmitter signaling, and brain stability, plus how nutrients like magnesium, omega-3s, B vitamins, inositol, and adaptogenic herbs may complement it. This episode is educational and empowering, designed to help you think critically about mental wellness, trace minerals, and personal responsibility for your health.Products:KAL Lithium OrotateSolaray Lithium AspartateVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

That "wired but tired" feeling isn't a sleep problem or even a stress problem. It's your HPA axis stuck in overdrive. Your body can't tell the difference between a work deadline and a life-threatening emergency, so your stress response never shuts off. The supplement industry knows you're burned out. That's why they're pushing adrenal cocktails, proprietary blends with pixie dust dosing, and adaptogens stacks with zero human research behind them. Dr. Christian Gonzalez cut through the noise to find the five most clinically validated adaptogens—herbs proven in randomized controlled trials to actually restore your stress response. In this episode, Dr. G breaks down: • The adaptogen that reduced cortisol by 27% in a meta-analysis of 25 human trials • Which Soviet-era herb improved VO2 max and is still used by athletes today • The "Queen of Herbs" that lowered inflammatory markers by 28% in stressed adults • Why one popular adaptogen might cause emotional flatness in certain people—and who should avoid it • The Arctic root that pulled people out of burnout in just four weeks He's ranking each adaptogen by strength of clinical evidence, walking through the mechanisms, exact dosing, who it's for, who it's not for, and the brands that actually test their products. Your adrenals aren't broken. They just need the right support. This episode gives you the clinical roadmap to get there.

As pharmaceutical companies begin rolling out anti-aging drugs for dogs, many pet parents are being told these medications can extend lifespan and prevent cognitive decline. But what are these drugs actually doing inside the body, and at what cost?In this episode, Angela sits down with Carter Easler, Director of Research and Education for CBD Dog Health and MycoDog, to break down the science behind emerging longevity drugs like rapamycin and Loyal. Carter also shares insights from coordinating the Senior Dog Study on cognitive decline, as they explore how pharmaceutical interventions compare to natural strategies that work with the body's own repair systems, including fasting, adaptogens, medicinal mushrooms, and support for the endocannabinoid system.If you have a senior dog, or want to learn about supporting your aging dog before their golden years, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Episode Recap:Angela and Carter talk about the rise of anti-aging drugs for dogs on the market, and why aging is at its core, a loss of homeostasis. (00:00)Rapamycin for dogs, what it does and why it was originally developed. (04:41)Do anti-aging drugs support longevity, or interfere with the body's natural repair processes like autophagy and cellular balance? (07:48)How fasting and restricted feeding windows naturally activate autophagy, support cellular cleanup, and may help extend lifespan in dogs. (11:10)Telomeres, “zombie cells,” and mTOR: how adaptogens, medicinal mushrooms, and hemp modulate aging pathways to support cellular balance instead of blocking the body's natural repair systems. (16:41)Why pharmaceutical “one-target” drugs can create a narrow therapeutic window and unintended side effects, while adaptogens and medicinal mushrooms support all 12 hallmarks of aging. (20:59)The 12 hallmarks of aging explained, from telomere shortening and mitochondrial dysfunction to microbiome imbalance, and how these anti aging drugs are targeting just one of these. (26:06)Why supporting the endocannabinoid system becomes increasingly important as pets grow older. (31:09)Loyal, the upcoming “anti-aging” injection for dogs, undisclosed mechanisms of action, and the importance of informed consent before new veterinary drugs reach the market. (35:20)Why proactive pet wellness should prioritize food, lifestyle, and adaptogenic plant support first, and where pharmaceuticals truly belong in veterinary care. (41:20)They dive into the science behind specific adaptogens and plant compounds, from mitochondrial support and telomere health to metabolic balance and autophagy, and why full-spectrum, whole-plant synergy matters more than isolated compounds.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared introduces the “Magnificent Mushrooms” series. This first show gives you an overview of why medicinal mushrooms may be some of the most misunderstood tools in natural health. Instead of forcing body systems, mushrooms help educate and modulate them—supporting immune balance, gut health, brain function, and overall resilience. Jared explains the differences between fruiting body and mycelium, powders vs. extracts, fermented vs. concentrated forms, and how to choose between single and multi-mushroom formulas based on your health goals. You'll also learn why mushrooms have been used in traditional wellness practices for centuries and how to use them intelligently in modern supplementation. If you've been curious about medicinal mushrooms but feel overwhelmed by the options, this foundational episode will help you understand what they do, how they work, and how to choose wisely.Products:20% off ALL mushroom products at Vitality Nutrition until March 18, 2026 - use code: mushroomsVitality Radio POW!

Adaptogens vs. Nervines: What's the Difference? Our nervous systems are overloaded — and not all stress-support herbs work the same way. In this episode, we break down the difference between adaptogens, nervines, and mood-supporting herbs, including calming vs. stimulating adaptogens and relaxant vs. tonic nervines. We also touch on herbs like St. John's Wort, mimosa, and lemon balm for seasonal blues and low mood. If you've ever tried an herb and wondered why it didn't work, this episode will help you understand which category might actually fit your current season — and how to use them safely and thoughtfully.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared sits down with returning guest Jamie Cotter, national educator for WishGarden Herbs, to break down immunity in a way that actually makes sense. Instead of treating the immune system as a one-size-fits-all problem, Jamie explains the four distinct phases of immunity—daily immune maintenance, early onset, active illness, and recovery—and why each phase benefits from a different herbal strategy. You'll learn how tonic herbs support baseline immune resilience, why timing and dosing matter when symptoms first appear, and how targeted herbal formulas can support the body during active immune challenges and lingering recovery phases. This episode empowers listeners to better understand their own immune responses and make informed choices about herbal support, seasonal wellness routines, and immune preparedness—without fear, hype, or guesswork.Products Discussed:Daily ImmuneKick-Ass ImmuneSerious V-FighterDeep LungKick-Ass BioticGet Over It!Buy 4 or more Wishgarden products from HERE and get 25% off through March 7, 2026!Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

As we enter 2026, the global beverage industry is undergoing a seismic shift. Consumer demand has moved beyond simple hydration toward functional benefits, mindful consumption, and flavor sophistication. Tony Vieira, Founder of Mocean, is leading the conversation on how brands must pivot to meet these changing expectations. Vieira is available to provide expert commentary on: * The Rise of Beverage Alternatives: Why "sober-curious" culture is no longer a niche market but a primary driver in product development. * Adult-Centric Formulation: Moving away from the high-sugar, neon-colored energy drinks of the past toward sophisticated, performance-based ingredients. * The Moderation Movement: How shifting consumer habits around alcohol and caffeine are creating a new "Middle Ground" in the beverage aisle. * Flavor Profiles for the Mature Palate: Why modern consumers are trading artificial sweetness for complex, botanical, and fruit-forward profiles like White Peach and Strawberry Guava. Designing for the "Real World": Energy with Intent While the traditional energy drink market has long focused on extreme sports and gaming, Mocean has identified a significant white space: the high-achieving adult. "Our drinks are designed for people with real jobs, real responsibilities, and real goals," says Vieira. "We aren't just selling energy; we're selling the ability to stay sharp and balanced throughout a demanding day without the crash associated with legacy brands." Starting the New Year with Purpose As millions of consumers participate in "Dry January" and set wellness-focused New Year's resolutions, the demand for "better-for-you" alternatives is at an all-time high. Mocean provides a bridge for those looking to maintain their social rituals and energy levels without compromising their health goals.

Pregnant and wanting to learn how to optimize your health, prepare for birth, learn to breastfeed, and heal during postpartum? Come take Dr. Morgan's pregnancy class!Not every supplement in pregnancy is harmless. Some can actually increase risk for you and your baby.Pregnancy supplements can be sorted into clear buckets: hard yes, maybe, and hard no. In this episode, you're going to learn our core essentials, the optional add-ons that depend on your labs and symptoms, and the products that sound helpful online but clash with how a pregnant body actually works. We draw the line on some popular herbs, powders, and nervous system helpers, and for good reason—these decisions are shaped by both research limits and real clinical experience.If you're pregnant and staring at a cabinet full of bottles scratching your head, the real challenge isn't finding more options; it's knowing which few are worth taking and when. You'll receive insights on how we think about risk, timing, and dose, when we'll push harder on something like immune support to avoid medications, and where we'd rather you do nothing than experiment.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Maggie Frank, the national educator for CV Sciences, makers of PlusCBD Oil.

Exploring the Benefits and Science of CBD and Canna Mimetics with Expert Maggie Frank, the national educator for CV Sciences, makers of PlusCBD Oil. She has a deep-dive into the latest updates on CBD (cannabidiol) products, their benefits, and distinctions from THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Frank explains the endocannabinoid system and how phytocannabinoids like CBD can help achieve homeostasis in the body, aiding in stress management, inflammation, and gut health. They discuss the nuances of different cannabis plants, the current landscape of CBD research, and the misconceptions around THC use. Additionally, Maggie introduces some innovative CV Sciences products, including those that do not contain CBD but offer similar benefits through canna mimetics—natural compounds that mimic the effects of cannabinoids. Among these products are a focus-enhancing gummy and a metabolic support formulation called ReShape. They also touch upon upcoming legislation and how it impacts the hemp industry. The discussion highlights the broad-spectrum potential of CBD and related compounds in promoting overall health and addressing various conditions.

Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comThis week on the podcast, Mikki speaks to Dr Lise Alschuler — a naturopathic oncologist, professor of clinical medicine, and one of the most respected voices in integrative cancer care worldwide. Dr Alschuler is known for bridging rigorous evidence with deeply human practice, helping people navigate not just cancer treatment, but the long arc of survivorship that follows. Her work spans circadian biology, metabolic health, botanical therapeutics, lifestyle medicine, and the psychology of living well after cancer.Their conversation travels through the evolving landscape of survivorship, delves into what high-quality follow-up care actually looks like, how to integrate whole-person philosophy within a conventional and often fragmented medical system, and what an ideal post-treatment care pathway would include. From insomnia to fatigue, melatonin to magnesium, morning light to meal timing, they unpack the practical tools that genuinely help restore circadian regulation — and why circadian disruption is far more consequential than most oncology guidelines acknowledge.They also explore exercise as a survival enhancer, how to guide intensity safely for those wary of over-exertion, and why maintaining muscle may be one of the most under-recognised cancer-prevention strategies. Adaptogens, botanicals, and supplement selection all feature, with clear insight into what works, for whom, and where caution is needed.They close with a deep dive into insulin resistance, nutrition strategies, carbohydrate restriction, soy, alcohol, processed food, vitamin D, and the broader metabolic terrain influencing recurrence risk.Dr. Alschuler is past-President and past-Board member of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians and a founding board member and Past-President of the Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians. She has been an invited speaker to more than 350 scientific/medical conferences, published over 27 peer-reviewed articles, been an investigator on 8 research studies, written 9 chapters for medical textbooks, and has co-authored two books, Definitive Guide to Cancer, now in its 3rd edition, and Definitive Guide to Thriving After Cancer.

What Your Blood Really Says: Using Blood Tests for Preventive Health. Blood tests can reveal far more about your health than most people realize, often long before symptoms appear. In this episode, I explain how blood work can be used as a powerful preventive tool, not just to diagnose disease. We talk about what common blood tests can tell you about your metabolism, thyroid, hormones, nutrient status, and cardiovascular risk, and why “normal” lab ranges don't always mean optimal health. You'll learn why some nutrients need to be tested in whole blood or red blood cells rather than serum, which markers are often overlooked, and how to choose the right tests without overtesting. This episode is for anyone who wants to move beyond guesswork and use blood tests to gain clarity, track progress, and make more informed health decisions.Takeaways:Blood tests can reveal new health information.Early detection through blood tests aids in prevention.Doctors often check for severe health issues, not optimal health.Optimal ranges in blood tests are crucial for overall health.TSH is just one parameter for assessing thyroid health.Vitamin D levels should ideally be between 60 and 80.Magnesium should be tested in red blood cells for accuracy.Cortisol levels significantly affect energy levels throughout the day.Supplement dosages vary from person to person.Retesting is essential to confirm the effectiveness of health protocols.(blood tests, health insights, optimal ranges, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal health, cortisol, supplements, retesting)Would you like to book a health consultation for yourself or a loved one?

Send me a text! I'd LOVE to hear your feedback on this episode!Menopause can feel like your body changed the rulebook without warning. One day you're handling pressure just fine; the next, a slammed door spikes your heart rate and your mind won't quit. I pull back the curtain on why stress tolerance can collapse at midlife and how to rebuild it with smarter hormone care, steadier blood sugar, and nervous system-aware tools that actually fit real life.I grow tired of experts telling us to control our stress.  Or limit our stress.  This is nonsensical to me because we can only mitigate the effects stress has on our bodies and we can't make it disappear.  Ignoring it, numbing it, also doesn't work at menopause. I have MANY different tools to help mitigate the effects of stress. NuCalm is a tool I've been using for many years now.  I was one of their early supporters and affiliates, and I remain a big believer.  Use this link for a free trial!!  And if you love it, use SANDYK for a discount.https://nucalm.com/free-trial?ref=sandy54Email me your questions, topics, or comments to be featured on my show - whether anonymous or not - your choice.  sandy@sandyknutrition.ca.Follow me on all of my socials - @sandyknutrition everywhere.Who am I? I don't define myself by my past, but it's a big part of my story. In 2010, my five-year-old daughter was diagnosed with cancer, and just a year later, I was too, but with thyroid cancer at 41. Fast forward to now, at 55, I'm navigating menopause and constantly learning what it truly means to thrive - body, mind, spirit and soul - to this next chapter of my life.Along the way, I went back to college, became a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, earned numerous certifications, and started this podcast just before the pandemic. I come to you not only as a practitioner and a podcaster, but as a woman who's lived it, someone driven by passion over profit, and a genuine desire to help others heal, grow, and live with more vitality, purpose, and joy.Beyond the basics, I spotlight underused supports. Adaptogens can help some, but they won't fix trauma or misaligned hormones. I also lean into the deeper layer: how menopause can surface old beliefs and hypervigilance, and  about BEAM Therapy.

We'll look at what the latest science and WHO guidance actually says, and the best way to approach it long term. We then dive into fibre, the difference between soluble and insoluble, how they work together in the gut, and whether you really need to worry about getting the perfect balance between the two. Next up, calcium. If you eat little or no dairy, how can you still meet your needs? We'll cover the top plant-based sources, from sesame seeds and hummus to calcium-set tofu and fortified milks, plus why vitamin D is just as important for absorption. We also unpack the growing trend for adaptogens like ashwagandha, maca and lion's mane, asking how much evidence there really is behind the hype and whether they're worth the spend. And finally, how to keep your healthy eating habits going as the seasons change. We'll explore habit stacking, the behavioural science behind linking new habits to ones you already do, and share practical ways to boost the nutrition of your favourite autumn comfort foods so you can carry your summer momentum through the darker months.
