Podcasts about biodynamic wellness

I'm thrilled to introduce you to my second mom, Kim Schuette! She established Biodynamic Wellness and is not only the reason that I'm even in the nutrition field, but she was a key part of our holistic team when my son was fighting cancer!    Our conversation is focused on detoxification, why it's an important part of healing the body when it comes to cancer, and three specific therapies that can be foundational in most people's cancer healing journey. Plus, we discuss the importance of having a team outside of your oncologist and the difference between drainage therapies and detox therapies.    This was such a precious conversation, and I'm sure you're going to appreciate her wisdom as much as I did!   Links: Biodynamic Wellness Resources to Find Your Holistic Team Episode 16: Let's Talk About Coffee Enemas Thriving Through Cancer Program The KICKcancER Movement - To make a donation, go here.

As thyroid health issues are on the rise, it’s more important now than ever to understand what a proper diagnosis looks like and how to get started on a healing journey. My guest today is someone who, like me, has experience healing Hashimoto’s. Carrie Vitt is a Nutritional Therapist and thyroid, nutrition, and non-toxic living expert. She currently treats patients struggling with thyroid issues as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and provides healthy diet lifestyle resources on her website Deliciously Organic.  Carrie and I are talking today about healing your thyroid.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a topic that we consider the “ultimate form of preventative health” — preconception nutrition!  This episode is one of my favorites so far. It’s serious, it’s deep, it’s encouraging and it has the potential to be life changing for those in this beautiful stage of life.  No, this isn’t an episode on sex ed, rather on the powerful impact good nutrition plays on creating a human. In today’s episode, we interview Kim Schuette, a Clinical Nutritionist, certified GAPS practitioner, owner of Biodynamic Wellness and board member with the Weston A. Price Foundation. Kim shares a very beautiful and mindful take on making babies. From what foods to eat and what to avoid to optimize fertility (in both men and women) to the importance of supporting emotional health and creating immense love between both partners, Kim shares her incredible knowledge and encouragement for couples planning to conceive.  What I love most about this episode is the change in perspective that Kim presents on preconception preparation. Her wisdom is a gift and we are beyond excited for you to listen in on this episode.  We understand this topic can be a touchy subject for many women so we hope that today’s episode will bring some light around this subject and encourage your beautiful heart.  If the thought of making a baby has got you running for the hills, can we ask you to share this episode with someone in your life who may benefit from the information? Maybe a couple who has been struggling to conceive, the newly weds in your life or even those just dating...it’s never too early to start nourishing your body for game day.  We understand that oftentimes this topic needs a little extra support, so we want to remind you that as Nutritional Therapy Practitioners, this is one of our favorite areas to support in our practices and we’d love to support you on your preconception journey.

Lots of groups promote detox plans that involve serious fasting, special products, or costly programs. In contrast, nutritionist Kim Schuette gives us detox home therapies that are simple, effective, and inexpensive. Her practical tips include eating nutrient-dense foods and drinking raw apple cider vinegar. Listen in for details that will help your body cope with toxin overload, and give you better digestion and glowing skin, as well.  Kim has been in private practice in the field of nutrition since 1999. In 2002, she established Biodynamic Wellness where she and her staff address digestive disorders, ADD, autism, and other health concerns.

*One of the consequences of high-tech, modern life is that for the first time in history, we are constantly battling the effects of exposure to estrogenic compounds.* While this is an emerging field of scientific study, you may want to be on the safe side, as we are dealing with an assortment of environmental estrogens from a variety of different sources, and make moves to avoid and eliminate the following offenders: * *Eliminate all plastics touching your food or drink and avoid high estrogenic foods like soy, corn, flax.* Use all-natural skin and personal care products, and eco-friendly home cleaners and laundry detergents. * *Monitor and limit sources of EMF,* by doing things like turning Wifi off at night, using an ethernet cable instead, and staying far away from your cell phone. Otterbox phone cases are also helpful, as are grounding mats or sheets or shields. * *Combat indoor blue light* by using things like bug bulbs, Tungsten soft lights, and anything on the yellow/red spectrum (like a salt lamp or candles). * If you want to *neutralize outgassing from toxic consumer products and stale indoor air* , get a *houseplant* or two! Also, the HEPA filter/deionizer captures 99.9% of particles (outdoor fires, pet, dust, allergens, etc.). *Avoiding Estrogens:* * *Plastics:* Implement zero tolerance for any plastic touching your food or drink. Nothing is worse than microwaving foods in plastic containers or drinking from disposable plastic water bottles that get heated in the sun. The result? Man cans and cancer. Use stainless steel or glass containers instead. * *Personal Care products:* Be vigilant against chemicals that touch your body like skin care products, cosmetics, perfumes and colognes, and laundry detergent. Use eco-friendly products made without chemicals, such as Dr. Bronner’s castile soap. ( https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Bronners-Pure-Castile-Liquid-Value/dp/B000HKPV8E/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Dr.+Bronner%E2%80%99s+castile+soap.&qid=1601661400&sr=8-3 ) Almost all sunscreens are pretty offensive, with common ingredients like oxybenzone and octinoxate that are harmful for both your health and the environment. Look for something simple with zinc oxide and try to prioritize using clothing and hats. Remember to expose large skin surfaces, but that it’s ok to protect yourself. * *Household cleaning products:* Antibacterial products are nasty, because they compromise immune function and can make you resistant to antibiotics when you need them for infections or surgeries. Mrs. Meyers Clean Day ( https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/9EC98B69-B8E1-4577-9CD6-4B00C6B648AB?hsa_cr_id=1980952830601&lp_asins=B01IQ9R37E%2CB01N1N6FMZ%2CB01MDPI0JM&lp_mat_key=meyers+clean+day&lp_query=meyers+clean+day&lp_slot=auto-sparkle-hsa-tetris&pf_rd_p=44fc3e0f-4b9e-4ed8-b33b-363a7257163d&sb-ci-n=shopNow&store_ref=SB_A05522622ETK7WXO68UX3 ) is a good natural brand with a diverse product line. * *Food:* You shouldn’t be eating *soy, corn, or flax* anyway, but note that these foods have *100x more phytoestrogens than other plants.* For more information, read Anthony Jay’s book Estrogeneration: How Estrogenics Are Making You Fat, Sick, and Infertile ( https://www.amazon.com/Estrogeneration-Anthony-G-Jay-audiobook/dp/B06XGZVKXT/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=dr+anthony+jay&qid=1600401890&sr=8-1 ) , and be sure to check out this great article from BioDynamic Wellness called *Top 10 Estrogenics and Ways to Minimize Exposure.* ( https://www.biodynamicwellness.com/top-10-estrogenics-ways-to-minimize-exposure/ ) *TIMESTAMPS:* Number 8 of your MOFO mission is called to protect yourself. Eliminate all plastics touching your food or drink. [01:49] Look for eco-friendly skin products and home cleaning products. [02:32] Beware the dangers of the electromagnetic field.

[13:49] Household cleaners are another place to pay attention to the eco-friendly need. [15:59] Try to stay away from soy, corn, flax which have 100 times more phytoestrogens. [16:46] Stay away from grains and source grass-fed meat. [18:08] Brad talks about many chemicals that are sprayed on our food that are outlawed in Europe. [18:51] Read carefully the ingredients in your sunscreen. Avoid food that has been artificially colored red. [19:51] Parabens are found in cosmetics and disguised in the ingredient list name. [20:50] Birth controls pills contain harmful chemicals. [22:17] Brad lists nine ways to minimize estrogenic exposure. [23:27] A dry sauna is an excellent way to detox your body. [24:41] Other herbs and botanicals are recommended for detoxing. [25:57] Consider the water you are drinking. [27:24] It’s important to have pasture-raised meats and eggs.
