Dr. Cate Shanahan's groundbreaking work has inspired entire movements involving bone broth, live culture ferments, and seed-oil-free business empires. In this episode, I welcome Dr. Cate back on the podcast to chat about the latest research in her new book, Dark Calories: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Can Get It Back.We covered Seed Oils 101 in our last conversation (episode 210); so here, we take it even deeper, talking about seed oil's connection to cellular damage, uncontrollable hunger, blood sugar instability, and gut inflammation.

Carolina and her team are disrupting the outdated anti-aging skincare industry with their groundbreaking research on our largest organ and its longevity. I've seen the results firsthand.

I've been so impressed – my skin looks more youthful, softer, and has a new glow!On today's episode, we get into the science behind their topical skin products. We talk about what causes aging and if it's reversible. Carolina explains what peptides are and how they work, sharing her revolutionary research into the OS-O1 peptide.

Today's topic is something every parent can learn from – how to raise our kids to value themselves for who they are, not what they accomplish. I'm thrilled to welcome Jennifer Wallace, an award-winning journalist and social commentator who covers parenting and lifestyle trends.Jennifer is a contributor to The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post. She is the author of Never Enough: When Achievement Pressure Becomes Toxic — And What We Can Do About It. This is the definitive book on toxic achievement culture and the impact it has on parents and kids. Jennifer tells us all about the groundbreaking findings she uncovered in her book, explaining the societal and economic factors that contributed to the rise of achievement culture. We talk about the prevalence of anxiety and depression in children who go to high-achieving schools. And most importantly, we explore how to combat this phenomenon and support our kids. Jennifer shares fantastic advice on how to teach your kids about their unconditional worth, help them process envy and comparison, and foster a healthy sense of self. We chat a lot about mattering, and why it, well, matters so much, highlighting the importance of healthy interdependence. School might be in session for them, but it is for you (and me!) too. Jennifer recommends getting a PhD in our kids; I will definitely be implementing her advice in my home. The LeVeque family meetings start now!

He's here for an open and honest conversation about his latest study and passion: Mindset as medicine. He's also a bestselling author, and his latest book is due out this April.

At seventeen, Dr. Cabral was diagnosed with a life-altering illness and given no hope for recovery.

You know Dave Asprey. He's the father of biohacking, a bestselling author and serial entrepreneur – and he is proud to be leading the charge against Kale. Dave unmasks the popular health food as expensive, bitter, and toxic – but it's far from the only thing to catch heat from this world class truth teller today. We hear all about his new clean coffee brand, Danger Coffee, which is produced with strict anti-mold protocols and enriched with important minerals that are both not seen in most processed, popular American foods and which are actively removed from our systems by harmful ingredients and chemicals.  Dave rails against the systematic decline in testosterone across young men, a concerning trend that has ripples throughout every level of society. We hash out the science of soil, why mineral depletion plays such a big part in widespread sickness and disease. And we also learn of his latest high-tech biohacking projects, where he's deploying AI to train our brains, and bodies, with less time and effort required by traditional methods.  Mitochondria and mold are two more hot topics as Dave weaves science and levity into his vast life experience for a direct and to-the-point delivery of the facts. He's right, we don't need to be scared. We need to be informed.  You will learn about...Getting started in biohacking  The 300lb man in the photo The only good ways to eat kale and spinach Deep dive on the science of soil and the need for trace minerals Danger Coffee's role in solving mineral depletion The testosterone decline among men Dave's low testosterone journey  Oxalic acid and phthalic acid Rice cakes suck Prioritizing our mitochondria  Making clean power in your body  Dave on restriction diets Bulletproof diet in a nutshell https://moldymovie.com/ (moldymovie.com) Prevalence of mold toxins in coffee Aflatoxin and other food mold risks European wine and activated charcoal  Testosterone is the hormone of desire The science of good sleep http://sleepwithdave.com/ (sleepwithdave.com) https://truedark.com/ (truedark.com) The future of stem cell banking  https://40yearsofzen.com/ (40 Years of Zen) A day in the life of Dave Asprey Resources:Website: https://daveasprey.com/ (daveasprey.com) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dave.asprey/?hl=en (@dave.asprey) Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-human-upgrade-with-dave-asprey-formerly/id451295014 (The Human Upgrade with Dave Asprey) Read: https://www.amazon.com/Smarter-Not-Harder-Biohackers-Getting/dp/006320472X (Smarter Not Harder) Read: https://www.amazon.com/Dave-Asprey/e/B00A1VAH5Q (Dave's books) Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/ (dangercoffee.com) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dangercoffeeofficial/ (Danger Coffee Official) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dangercoffeeofficial/ (@dangercoffeeofficial) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/upgradelabs/?hl=en (@upgradelabs)   Connect with Kelly:https://kellyleveque.com/ (kellyleveque.com) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bewellbykelly/ (@bewellbykelly) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bewellbykelly/ (www.facebook.com/bewellbykelly) Be Well By Kelly is produced by http://crate.media/ (Crate Media).

Dr. Tina Bryson is the author of The Bottom Line For Baby and the co-author, with Dan Siegel, of The Yes Brain, The Power of Showing Up, as well as two New York Times bestsellers, the Whole Brain Child and No Drama Discipline. Her body of work has had an immense impact on my parenting journey, which is only part of the reason I'm so excited she's sharing her time with us today. We touch on many of Dr. Bryson's core concepts of well-adjusted parenting, most tied to the fact that our little ones are actually brilliant – that their brains create automatic associations, just like ours. Still, we need to be mindful of our explicit and implicit messaging; just because they can make associations doesn't mean they're right (or logical), after all. She also gives some amazing and actionable advice on a couple specific behavioral challenges we're seeing with Bash at home, and blesses us with some other quick tools on empowering kids to be brave, name their feelings, and build resilience. .   If you are a new parent or even thinking about having children, I would start reading her books and practicing on your partner.

Our guest today is Michelle Tam, founder and co-creator of the renowned Nom Nom Paleo universe. Dubbed the Queen of Paleo Cooking, she's co-authored several cookbooks, The New York Times bestselling Nom Nom Paleo, Food for Humans, Ready or Not, and her most recent Nom Nom Paleo: Let's Go!.  She is devoted to sharing paleo, gluten-free and Whole30 recipes, kitchen tips and tricks with a focus on ancestral health, quick and easy eats, and staying paleo while on the go. We chat about her initial discovery of paleo and how it successfully addressed digestion issues earlier in her life before delving into the ways the wide-reaching career that's come from it has impacted how she and her family eats on a daily basis. Along the way, we also get some great kitchen gadget recommendations, talk about boundaries and social media expectations, and hash out a Cracklin' Chicken recipe that will work for any busy family. More than a pure paleo evangelist, she thinks people should figure out what works for them in terms of diet, and actually pay attention to how food makes them feel. It's a fresh take, and one that we're hearing more and more of in the space as we move away from strict regimens and all-for-one wellness advice.

Dr. Cate Shanahan is the world's leading authority on seed oils and she's on a mission to spread the word on the damage they're doing to us, both individually and as a species. We start by identifying the hateful eight – eight toxic factory-made seed oils – but this conversation takes us all over the nutritional spectrum.  She helps us parse fact or fiction on numerous murky subjects, from the blatant corruption at the root of all nutritional research data past 1948, to the benefits and pitfalls of restrictive dieting, how and why the modern food landscape has evolved to be so harmful for our health, and the risks (or not) involved with consuming raw milk. Come for Dr. Cate's deep wisdom on seed oils and her truly clean snacking and diet tips, stay for a shout out to the brilliant Anthony Bourdaine and Cate's fascinating perspective on global cuisine – a showcase of nutrient-rich delicacies that do not exist in our modern American food lexicon.

If you're anything like me and my family, you may already be familiar (and appreciative!) of the innovative and delicious food brand we're spotlighting today, Siete Family Foods, a company dedicated to sharing Mexican-American cuisine with those who want or need grain-free options. Today's guests are sister and brother – Veronica Garza, Siete's Co-Founder, President, and Chief Innovation Officer, and Miguel Garza, Co-Founder and CEO. They're here to talk about their first cookbook, The Siete Table, which features over a hundred gluten free Mexican-American dishes that span every course and occasion. Of course, we cover the brand's backstory – after Veronica Garza had many autoimmune issues  show up, including lupus, she started to do CrossFit with her family in her parents' backyard. After switching to a grain-free diet, she noticed her joints weren't bothering her anymore, which was the catalyst to starting this company. Miguel and Veronica discuss the recipes they can't wait to share, why sharing these recipes is so special to them, and the inspiring story of how Veronica (as well as other family members) took a huge risk in order to get Siete off the ground. You will learn about...The start of it all: the almond flour tortilla Veronica's struggles with autoimmune issues How her diet restrictions clashed with her culture Coming together as a family: support is everything Pushing through the pain of lupus Six to nine months of diet and lifestyle changes to resolve her  symptoms Risking Veronica's insurance coverage to get started The Garza family captures  an entrepreneurial spark  Expanding the product (chips, seasonings, crunchy shells, etc.) Ethos and mission of Siete Family Foods Family first, family second, business third An admittedly bad first company name revealed  Seven members of the family: “Siete” Building a soul-aligned company The Siete Table: writing a cookbook Favorite recipes from the book Inspirations for The Siete Table Resources:Order Siete Table: https://sietefoods.com/pages/siete-table (sietefoods.com/pages/siete-table) Find Siete products near you: https://sietefoods.com/pages/locator (sietefoods.com/pages/locator) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sietefoods/?hl=en (@sietefoods) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SieteFoods/ (Siete Foods) Twitter: https://twitter.com/SieteFoods (@SieteFoods) Connect with Kelly:https://kellyleveque.com/ (kellyleveque.com) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bewellbykelly/ (@bewellbykelly) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bewellbykelly/ (www.facebook.com/bewellbykelly) Be Well By Kelly is produced by http://crate.media/ (Crate Media).

Dr. Elisa Song is an integrative pediatrician, pediatric functional medicine expert, and a mama. In her integrative pediatric practice, Whole Family Wellness, she's helped thousands of kids get to the root cause of their health concerns, and she's helped their parents understand how to help their children thrive – mind, body, and spirit – by integrating conventional pediatrics with functional medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and essential oils. Grab your notepad for this one, as we cover all the science, and the just-as-important implementation, of personalized medicine and how important it is to take a custom integrated approach to wellness. Talking through a few examples, including the always-pesky ear infection, Dr. Song describes how a reliance on antibiotics is selling us short. We also do a nearly three-year update on COVID (and long-COVID), the vaccines, what was promised, and what now seems like the more likely reality of it all – that making an informed decision as a family is everyone's best option. There is so much more information out there than even a couple of years ago. It's so important that we find as many sources of evidence-backed data as we can – and we're glad to bring you one of those sources today. Huge thanks to Dr. Elisa Song for taking the time with our community.

You open Instagram and it hits you right away, a sense of perfection or idealism that seems just a little too shiny, a little too great to be real. And guess what? Most of the time, it isn't. Today's guest, Dr. Whitney Goodman, assures us of that much and more. She's the radically honest psychotherapist behind the popular Instagram account, @sitwithwhit, the book Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real in a World Obsessed with Being Happy, and the owner of the Collaborative Counseling Center, a private therapy practice in Miami. She helps individuals and couples heal past wounds and create the life they've always wanted. We spend this episode unpacking the false perception of perfection all around us, the world's constant striving for “happiness,” and why finding center in your life is so much more complicated than that – and should be! Whether it's content-friendly or not – feeling all the feelings, really embracing them and chershing them, can be as healthy for us as a diverse and nutrient-rich diet. Dr. Goodman offers up a more diverse experience, more layers to really dive into and learn about ourselves and the people we love. We get tips on listening (it's more than just hearing!), recognizing toxic positivity and understanding why it sells, the importance of values over happiness, and prioritizing focus time – even thirty minutes a day – to help keep your mind sharp. It's time to get honest about – well, everything! There's no time to waste striving and stressing over goals that only move further into the distance the harder we work at them. Life is perfect as it is, we're so glad Dr. Goodman took the time to share this message with us today. You will learn about... Pitfalls of toxic positivity How to respond instead → Really, truly listening to someone Finding room for validation beyond happiness  Seeing the world in black and white Setting realistic goals to actually feel fulfillment Values > happiness Whitney's personal experience and growth Feeling all the feelings and that's ok The power of 30-minute focus blocks  Recognizing toxic positivity How to give feedback to someone who's “toxically positive” Setting boundaries with friends/family in a compassionate way How to find a therapist The flaw with “time heals all wounds” The “Good Enough” community Unpacking the perfection trend Social's media place in all of this The truth about most influencers  Resources: Website: https://sitwithwhit.com/ (sitwithwhit.com) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sitwithwhit/?hl=en (@sitwithwhit) Twitter: https://twitter.com/sitwithwhit (@sitwithwhit) Collab Counseling: https://www.collabcounseling.com/ (collabcounseling.com) Read: https://www.amazon.com/Toxic-Positivity-Keeping-World-Obsessed/dp/0593418271 (Toxic Positivity by Whitney Goodman) “Good Enough” Community: https://sitwithwhit.substack.com/ (sitwithwhit.substack.com) Connect with Kelly: https://kellyleveque.com/ (kellyleveque.com) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bewellbykelly/ (@bewellbykelly) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bewellbykelly/ (www.facebook.com/bewellbykelly) Be Well By Kelly is produced by http://crate.media/ (Crate Media).

Today's super informed guest on the podcast is Vanessa Rissetto MS, RD, CDN, the co-founder of Culina Health. Her magic lies in her realistic and personalized approach to nutrition with science as her first love. She's most interested in helping clients take an active role in their health journey through personalized lifestyle plans backed by evidence-based, science-driven nutrition counseling, adult weight management, and building a better relationship with food. We start our conversation touching on the role of Culina Health in today's medical world and how the rapid need for telehealth services created huge opportunities, and challenges, for the new company. The world is still changing on a daily basis it seems, but we have innovators like Vanessa to thank for keeping us in mind as it does. Vanessa's perspective on the space ranges from the past, where vast differences in family culture made for a different at-home eating experience in most cases, to the present, where shame and fear too often poison the well of wellness – even toward the future, where she encourages us to take small steps toward a cleaner life with actionable tips for doing so. Her main advice is sound, and it always will be – sometimes simple is better! Especially when time is limited, opting for something that is easy, quick, and nourishing for your family is totally possible; you just have to know where to look (Hint: not Instagram). You will learn about...

The esteemed Dr. Jeffrey Bland, an internationally recognized leader in the nutritional medicine field, joins the show today. He's a biochemist by training, co-founding the Institute for Functional Medicine in 1991 while coming to be known to many as The Father of Functional Medicine.  Dr. Bland invites us into his deep wisdom and vast experience as we explore his path to, and away from, traditional medicine, before delving into the issues we see in modern healthcare and what the rapidly changing space might look like in the near future.  Today's healthcare ills, as he points out, can be tied to money's omnipresence in the market, which has urged the prioritization of disease treatment – for profit's sake, mostly – rather than focusing on promoting societal wellness as its table-stakes mission. We also talk about his latest project, https://bigboldhealth.com/ (Big Bold Health), which launched in 2018, through which he's on a mission to transform the way people think about one of nature's greatest innovations, the mighty immune system. That's right, the gut remains front and center as Dr. Bland breaks down the differences between boosting and balancing, benefits to eating the rainbow, and much more. By advocating for the power of immuno-rejuvenation to enhance immunity at a global level, he's really doing some important work for the world – work that generations in the future (and today!) can look back upon and be so thankful for. You will learn about...

Dr. Anthony Jay is the President of the International Medical Research Collaborative, a nonprofit organization based in Boston that trains medical students from around the globe. He is also an author and renowned expert on estrogenics, substances that merely act like estrogen in our body, oftentimes tricking it into negative chain reactions in our health – even cancer. So, where are these tricky imposters in the products around us? And, how can we avoid them in the future? Dr. Anthony details the long list in his book, and is kind to share many examples in our conversation today. Specifically, he touches on fragrances, petroleum products, soy products, and mold, which is so much more common in shelf products like coffee, grains, and peanuts than you might imagine. We also talk about the role that the gut microbiome, an old familiar friend, plays in our processing of these chemicals, and draw a very real connection between the harms of estrogenics and everyday plastics like water bottles and shower liners. If you're listening to this and looking around your life with a newfound stress, know that you're not alone in this collective journey to a more natural, non-toxic, and simple life. Knowledge is key. Understanding complexities like those presented today is the first step toward making positive changes. And we're here to help you get there, every step of the way. You will learn about... What are estrogenics?  Estrogenics vs. testosterone Link between estrogenics and an increased risk of cancer  Common products and ingredients to avoid broken into three categories: food, plastics and personal care Major players to know: mold, red dye, flax and soy Chemical risks of plastic water bottles Sources of other plastics to avoid Why “BPA-free” isn't good enough The science of estrogen in plastic High estrogen leading to early puberty in girls Common home products to be aware of What these chemicals do to your hormones Benefits of sweating and sauna use to expel chemicals  Resources: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonygjay/ (Anthony G.

Dr. Vivian Chen was practicing conventional medicine in the UK when her own debilitating symptoms of fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, and acne were dismissed as “normal” by the medical community. Then, she took matters into her own hands, becoming her own health detective and uncovering a holistic approach to understanding health at a whole body level.  With this new informed practice, Vivian, like so many in our space, healed herself. These days, she's a certified integrative health practitioner and the founder of  Plateful Health, through which she helps her clients find true long lasting vitality of body and mind. This one is packed with relatable experiences and stories, like her daughter's scary allergy event; deep dive clinical data and scientific reasoning, particularly as they connect to the gut's microbiome and detoxing; and actionable real-life advice, from prepping your body for a detox to supplement use and daily routine tips.

In today's episode, Ron Belldegrun and Devon Kuehn, CEO and CMO of ByHeart no-compromise nutrition infant formula, spotlight their amazing formula brand and discuss the critical importance of high quality baby nutrition in a world increasingly filled with, well – filler products and other junk ingredients. In fact, ByHeart is the first new formula brand in fifteen years, breaking down sturdy barriers in an industry that hasn't kept up with the latest in science. Their willingness to invest time and money for the sake of a better product for better health is something I can stand behind with my full support. We also chat about the recent formula shortage, the clinical process of replicating breast milk as closely as they can, laying the foundation for baby growth and development, and the importance of owning your supply chain and inspecting your own ingredients – two pillars of good business that I am also very familiar with.
