If you've ever felt caught in a cycle of symptoms without real solutions, this eye-opening interview will shift your entire perspective on health and healing.

Vårens primörer är inte bara sparris utan kan också vara kirskål, nässlor och maskrosor. Och efter hårt arbete kom större vattensalamander tillbaka till Judarskogen i Bromma.

Denna majlördag går vår fältreporter Lisa Henkow på en örtavandring hemma hos Ann-Louise, och lagar till något grönt och gott av vårens ogräsprimörer. Frågan är om en grön nässelsmoothie bränns i munnen?Och så får vi senaste nytt om hur det går för den större vattensalamandern och hur ekologen Martina Kiibus efter hårt arbete fick den tillbaka till en damm i Judarskogen i Stockholm.I början av maj förra året satt Naturmorgons lyssnare Gunnel Larsson vid en asp och plötsligt hände det. Som på en given signal slog den ut alla sina blad, samtidigt! Hur är det möjligt? Och är det läge att sätta sig vid samma asp, vid samma tid, och hoppas på att det händer igen? Vi ber botanist Sofie Olofsson svara på det.De är inte lätta att skilja åt, gässen! Vem kacklar egentligen hur? Äntligen finns det en fågelsånglektion för hur de olika gässen låter. Även om alla inte kallar deras läten för just sång...Och i Thomas Öbergs kråkvinkel får vi svaret på varför en renskötare visade bilder på när Notre Dame brann i Paris, när det skulle handla om Sápmis fjäll och skogar. Helighet är den gemensamma nämnaren.Programledare är Jenny Berntson Djurvall.

The First Lady of Nutrition welcomes the creator of one of the most popular natural health web sites in the world, Jonathan Landsman. Ann Louise and Jonathan waste no time discussing an increasingly disturbing trend. Did you know that over 100 million people in the U.S. alone are currently grappling with liver problems? This vital organ isn't just a filter for toxins; it intricately impacts our hormone balance, blood sugar regulation, emotional regulation, and even our heart and brain health. A malfunctioning liver sends out subtle SOS signals such as high liver enzymes, unexplained chronic fatigue, obesity, brain fog, high heart rate, and more. Jonathan Landsman walks us through these distress signals, unraveling the intricate relationship between our lifestyle choices and liver health. From dietary pitfalls like excessive sugar and processed foods to the often-ignored processed vegetable oils—our choices matter.

Diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis at twenty-seven, Dr. Wentz is renowned for her commitment to translating cutting-edge research into actionable solutions for patients.

The discussion delves into adrenal dysfunction, a situation in which the body struggles to produce essential hormones in response to mismanaged stress. While this dysfunction can manifest in various ailments, the episode brings a hopeful message—addressing and reversing these issues doesn't need to be complex. By supporting the adrenals through modest dietary and lifestyle adjustments and appropriate supplements, significant improvements can emerge within a matter of weeks or even days. Dr. Wentz emphasizes the importance of identifying adrenal triggers, balancing stress responses, and gradually building resilience to prevent future stress from overwhelming the adrenals. The goal, as outlined by Dr. Wentz, is to establish and maintain homeostasis even in turbulent and challenging times. For additional information, visit: https://thyroidpharmacist.com/.

Can a plant heavy diet be toxic? The surprising answer is YES according to Sally Norton who has uncovered oxalates, those culprits in plants which are often found lurking within organic plant heavy diets. Join Ann Louise Gittleman, the First Lady of Nutrition, as she delves into a thought-provoking conversation with Sally Norton, a distinguished educator, speaker, and health consultant. After suffering for decades from chronic health problems, Sally discovered that the offenders that plagued her were chemical toxins called oxalates within her “healthy,” organic plant-based regimen. Ann Louise and Sally waste no time in diving into a fascinating discussion as to how the foods you're eating to get healthy might just be making you sick!  According to Norton, if you're eating a healthy diet and you're still dealing with fatigue, inflammation, anxiety, recurrent injuries, or chronic pain, the problem could be your spinach, almonds, sweet potatoes, and other trusted plant foods. And your key to vibrant health may be quitting these so-called superfoods that are filled with oxalates. In her 2023 blockbuster book, “Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload Is Making You Sick--and How to Get Better” Norton presents a complete, research-backed program to safely reverse your oxalate load and comprehensive charts and resources on foods to avoid and better alternatives.  As Ann Louise and Sally conclude, the popular dictum to "eat more plants” can be misleading. “Toxic Superfoods” gives health-seekers a chance for improved energy, optimum brain performance, graceful aging, and true relief from chronic pain. For more information check out https://sallyknorton.com/.

Ron's mission is based on the development of an innovative treatment that addresses the primary contributions of poor posture as a result of maladaptation by one or multiple tissues within the human movement system. Join Ann Louise and Ron as they explore topics such as why everything you know about ‘good posture' is wrong and how to correct it; the different dynamics of the right and left sides of our body; how major sensory points like our feet and even our teeth profoundly impact our posture; the secrets of breathing that relieve stress and boost energy; how improper shoe wear can quickly defeat any Physical Therapy program; and much more!

Over ten years ago, pioneering nutritionist Ann Louise Gittleman wrote a groundbreaking book called “Zapped: Why Your Cell Phone Shouldn't Be Your Alarm Clock and 1,268 Ways to Outsmart the Hazards of Electronic Pollution.” At that time, she had her own home mitigated for EMFs and environmental toxins. She recently decided to invite Brian Hoyer, a leading EMF mitigation specialist, to update and access any new findings. Interestingly enough, Brian's findings were jaw dropping for Ann Louise and family. While the house was fairly clean environmentally, the only issue that was a red flag was the bedroom window where there were strong EMF emissions from a radio tower across the river where Ann Louise's house is built. The EMF emissions registered extremely hazardous on Brian's scale and were known to incite oxidative stress, issues with neurotransmitters, and blood brain barrier leaks. Needless to say, with Ann Louise's history of a concussion and a traumatic brain injury, this was a huge aha moment! Join Ann Louise and Brian Hoyer as they delve into a fascinating discussion, covering topics such as EMF shielding and its importance, the negative effects of EMF exposure, the need for a healing environment, dealing with 'dirty electricity', controlling EMF exposure, and most crucially, how to shield oneself while sleeping. After extensively testing homes for EMF around the country, Brian established Shielded Healing in 2017. The aim of his team is to help modern society recreate electromagnetic environments that closely resemble historic human habitats. Brian works closely with functional medicine doctors, hospitals, and clinics worldwide, providing EMF shielding solutions and building protocols to reduce patient EMF exposure.
