Dr. Becky Plotner is a Board Certified Naturopathic Doctor through the American Naturopathic Medical Certification Board. She is a traditional naturopath, Certified GAPS Practitioner, Doctor of Pastoral Sciences, and was deemed “The GAPS Expert” by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride in 2017. She is classified as a practitioner literate in Lyme,  Iodine and chelation. She serves on Dr Natasha's GAPS Board of Directors, is on the GAPS Staff as an instructor teaching Certified GAPS Practitioners in Training, as well as Certified GAPS Coaches in training. Becky begins our conversation by talking about the healing power of natural medicine and how she has relied on it to treat her own health condition.  For Becky, food is truly medicine.  From meat stock and fermented foods to organ meats, these old ways of cooking are the best way of cooking. Over the last few decades, many of the foods that are the most nourishing have also been demonized.  She explains that animals fats and meats are deeply nourishing.  In fact, for most tribal communities, the organ meats are the most prized and given to the tribal elders and shamans.  These are the foods that are the most nutrient dense. Becky says that real healing happens in the kitchen.  She also says that food is love, and it's a gift that we can give to our loved ones. It's been said that the root of all illness is toxicity and deficiency.  This modern world is a toxic soup and more polluted than ever before in our history. Beneficial microbes are critical for helping to facilitate detoxification. Later, Becky explains the impact of microbes and the status of the gut on mental health.  Many people don't see the connection between microbes and the psyche, but these microbes can literally cause negative thoughts and emotions. For Becky, the time for action is right now.  She wants people to feel empowered and to just get started - one meal at a time.  Enjoy this wonderful conversation with the always inspiring Becky Plotner!

Welcome to Low Carb Conversations with   and , Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners. Our Guest today is Elyse Comerford – Integrative Nutritionist and Certified GAPS Practitioner, Holistic Health Coach, Exercise Scientist, Keynote Speaker, Mentor, and most importantly, a mother! In today’s episode Elyse shares her health journey with Leah and Holly Jean and does some myth busting on some misconceptions about the GAPS diet. It’s not as big and scary as some people would like to you believe. Spoiler alert: the benefits diet pros can outweigh the cons; the truth lies in the context of bio-individuality and unique healing needs. The conversation also gets personal as we discuss the pressure of motherhood and our experiences with mom shaming. We think you will enjoy hearing about the importance of self care and the relationships we cultivate to support us in nourishing our bodies and souls. We wrap up this episode with a chat about how nutrition has changed over the last three decades, including probiotics and the microbiome, whole food diets, omega 3 fatty acids, and the rise of nutrition information in the age of the internet.

My guest this week is Tara Hunkin, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Certified GAPS Practitioner, Restorative Wellness Practitioner, mother and founder of My Child Will Thrive and host of the ‘Autism, ADHD and SPD Summit'. Tara is passionate about helping parents because she has been in their shoes. After doctor visits left her with more questions than answers, Tara realized that it was up to her to figure out how to get her daughter the help she needed.  She went on to pursue an education in nutrition with the Nutritional Therapy Association and trained with Natasha Campbell-McBride, MD as a Certified GAPS Practitioner. She is also a student of Julie Matthews, CN with the Bioindividual Nutrition Institute and has completed the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs training, as well as, training with Dr. Mellio through IAFNR to better understand the brain and the applications of functional neurology. In this episode, Tara and I discuss the fundamental foundations for success when parents are setting out on an integrative approach for the treatment of their child's neurodevelopmental disorder. Children diagnosed or suspected with disorders such as autism, ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and other learning disabilities can greatly benefit from a guided framework of the integrative approach. To learn more about Tara and access an entire community of support click here.   Episode Highlights The Internet & Information Overload The internet provides us with so much information it can be extremely overwhelming for parents searching for ways to help their struggling children As a parent you need to learn many different avenues but using a framework to approach them all will save you time, money, and a lot of excess stress   Framework and Tools  By beginning an integrative approach with a framework set in place, parents are able to organize and confront treatment with more ease Remember: “There is no clear one solution for every child.” - Tara Hunkin   Fundamental Foundations of Healing  It is easy to forget or disregard fundamental practices before going straight into advanced healing strategies and therapies - the two must go hand and hand to prevent as many setbacks as possible Nutrition is key Keeping the body well-nourished literally feeds every cell in our body and brain Maintain optimal hydration with good quality water sources Ensure that your child is getting enough outdoor time in the fresh air and sunlight igniting their five senses   Address your environment, such as the possible toxins in and around your home Finding and implementing appropriate neuro-rehab programs Neuro rehab examples: listening, vision, occupational, and neurofeedback therapies   Multiple Protocols & Record-Keeping You are your child's best advocate and record-keeper Having records to refer to for yourself and your practitioner will save you time, money, and grief To help Tara has created a ‘Protocol and Therapy Worksheet' It sets out objectives to help track practice, advice from your practitioner and expectations These kinds of record-keeping are essential to approaching an integrative model of treatment The more thorough the history recorded the better you and your practitioner can prepare for and execute treatment plans   Working With The Right Practitioner Make sure the practitioner is able to explain to you the aim and goals of the treatment at hand You shouldn't walk out of their office more confused than when you went in When you understand the possibilities and outcomes you are more equipped to push through When you have older children who are able to comprehend the goals and outcomes - they will feel more empowered to make the right decisions if they understand why of the situation   Where to learn more about Tara Hunkin...

It is to be loved, celebrated, anticipated, and welcomed as a gift of love and nurturance to you. Can you envision pleasure with food with this much potency? So, how to get out of the stressed-state (the battle) and in the pro-active pleasure state of eating? Let’s get practical: 1. Slow way, way down. Relaxation and slowness are key to increasing attentiveness, sensuality, and pleasure. This then optimizes your ability to truly taste, digest, and set up the proper hormonal cues for pleasurable satiation (in contrast to feeling bloated and engorged from unaware-hurried eating). 2. Notice fearful thoughts and/or body sensations. Pause and send some thanks to these thoughts and feelings. They are your cues for you to get on track to joy, peace, and pleasure again. But, in no way are the fears going to drive and determine your actions this season. Instead, breathe into them instead of fighting them. Then try some gentle challenges to shift the energy…”Is this really true?”, “What is that I do want?”, “How do I want to feel?” 3. Eat food with increased sensuality. Pick up one holiday treat, find a beautiful plate, sit down, and look at it for awhile. What is happening in your mind and body? Smell the treat, take one bite, set the treat down, and chew it as sensuously and slowly as you can. How does it really taste? What is happening in your body? Breathe deeply and chew some more. Pause and look at the treat again. Notice how enticing it is. Take another bite. 4. Trust. Your body was designed for pleasure around food. This is a primal mechanism designed to help you find that which your body needs. The cues get distorted with all the food and lifestyle chaos around us. But the internal cues of pleasure are still there and can be fine-tuned the more we slow down and heed them. About Margaret: My name is Margaret and I eat naked. That’s really all you need to know about me, but if you’re curious to know more… I love food and everything about it: growing it, cooking it, eating it, healing with it, talking about it, understanding it, relating to it. Food is such an integral part of our life. We have to eat it multiple times a day just to survive and, as one of my teachers said, “We are, at our most basic level, walking food.” True that. I had my first powerful experience with the fundamental importance of food in my mid-20s when a change to my diet resolved a chronic skin condition I’d struggled with for years. At the time I was deeply immersed in the world of social ventures and business consulting, first with the boutique consultancy Spark Strategies and then as VP Member Development withCanadian Business for Social Responsibility. Fast forward a few years and I realized my true calling was food and health, and, more specifically, using the former to achieve the latter. I became a Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) and Certified Nutritional Therapy Consultant (NTC) at the Nutritional Therapy Association (a school I recommend highly if you’re considering a career in nutrition) and then drew inspiration from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition where I learned from some of the top minds in the field (personal favorites were Sally Fallon of the Weston A Price Foundation, Dr. Mark Hyman, and Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way). Since then, I’ve become a Certified GAPS Practitioner, a Certified Healing Foods Specialist and also studied with the incredible Mark David at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. www.eatnakednow.com

Margaret will share some of the clinical insights she’s been finding with her clients to get at the root of even the most stubborn chronic issues. It could be hidden in what you’re eating and, more importantly, how your body is (or isn’t) digesting it. About the guest: Margaret Floyd is a nutritional therapist, writer, and real food advocate. She’s has been on the pursuit of the ideal, nutritious, and delicious way of eating for the better part of her adult life. Margaret received her Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) certification from the Nutritional Therapy Association and was certified as a Holistic Health Counselor by the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. She is also a Certified GAPS Practitioner, a Certified Healing Foods Specialist, is certified by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, and has a thriving private practice in Los Angeles, California through which she supports clients throughout North America and Europe to achieve true health and vitality through diet and lifestyle changes. Margaret is the author of Eat Naked: Unprocessed, Unpolluted, and Undressed Eating for a Healthier, Sexier You published by New Harbinger Publications in 2011. She is also the coauthor with Chef James Barry of the follow-up cookbook, The Naked Foods Cookbook, released May, 2012.

As a child, Renee suffered from constant migraines, nausea, and sinus infections as well as other health issues. Renee originally earned her degree in Manufacturing Systems Engineering, and worked for many different companies. Realizing that this industry was an contributing factor in her state of health, Renee left the manufacturing realm in 1995 and took a job as a veterinary technician. In doing so, Renee lowered her stress level enough to become pregnant!  Raising a family and seeking to honor the natural desires of her children, Renee sought out a more holistic lifestyle. By altering diet, lifestyle, and attitude Renee came to know a greater sense of wellness and began to experience life without physical suffering.  Realizing the impact food has on overall health, Renee pursued an education in nutrition. She completed her Masters in Holistic Nutrition, passed the National Association of Nutrition Professionals boards, and became a Certified GAPS™ Practitioner in 2011.

This will be her fourth time on my show. I love having Margaret on regularly to keep us on track (or get us back on track) with making healthy food choices. Our relationship with our body is one of our most important relationships and Margaret is an invaluable resource. Eat Naked is the genesis of years of learning, reading, seeking, and teaching about nutrition, cooking, and health. No matter your dietary preference—vegetarian or omnivore, raw or cooked, macrobiotic, traditional, or modern—eating naked will only enhance the health benefits, simplify the process, and help you look great, even without your clothes on! It’s time to enjoy “naked” foods—whole foods that are fresh and organically grown, prepared in ways that allow each food’s naturally delicious flavors to shine through. Margaret Floyd shows you how to choose the nutrient-dense foods that will make you look and feel so gorgeous, you’ll want to take it all off. Why go out to eat? Cooking at home is easy, healthy, delicious, and affordable—and with the right techniques and ingredients, preparing a home-cooked meal can be quicker than picking up take-out. The Naked Foods Cookbook, the anticipated follow-up cookbook to Margaret Floyd’s Eat Naked, shows readers how they can create whole, organic, and fresh “naked” meals that maximize the natural nutritional value of food. Unlike commercially available prepared foods and restaurant dishes, naked meals contain no harmful additives, preservatives, or empty-calorie fillers. Readers who seek to control the quality of ingredients and nutrients in their food will turn to this cookbook time and time again for affordable, naturally delicious meals they can feel good about eating and serving to others.
