Podcasts about certified primal health coach

Thank you for tuning in for another episode of Life's Best Medicine. Michelle Hall is a Certified Primal Health Coach and Human Intestinal Microbiome Specialist who strives to help others suffering from similar health issues she did. Through an integrative approach, Michelle assists people by creating sustainable changes in their lives to become their most vibrant, healthy, and fulfilled selves. She began her own journey towards health and wellness in July, 2020, after years of unhealthy living and even more unhealthy relationships with food and exercise. The overwhelming desire to help others learn how to change their unhealthy patterns and heal their bodies grew as her journey progressed, so in the summer of 2022, she enrolled in Primal Health Coaching Institute to learn about proper, ancestral living. She refers to herself as a “weight loss surgery survivor.” Through that ordeal, she discovered her underlying issues with food did not resolve by going under the knife. Having experience and knowledge and making proactive, healthy changes has resulted in significant healing in almost all other aspects of life as well. In this episode, Dr. Brian and Michelle talk about… Michelle's personal health and weight-loss journey Michelle's experience getting bariatric surgery Emotional eating and food addiction Michelle's discovery of keto and the multitude of benefits she experienced from following this diet Why Michelle became a health coach and coaching philosophy Michelle's work with Coach Bronson Tips for stress eaters The upcoming low carb cruise to Alaska For more information, please see the links below.

Laura Rupsis  As a working mother of 4 children, Laura understands the demands of today's busy lifestyle and the detrimental impact that the dietary and lifestyle choices so many of us make in the interest of convenience can have. After spending over 20 years in the financial industry and about 5 years of hard work and planning, Laura was able to leave that world behind to pursue her passion for ancestral health and fitness.  Laura earned her first nutrition/health coach certification through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2012 after suffering severe health issues that were only alleviated through diet and lifestyle changes, rather than conventional medical interventions. She then aligned herself with the Primal Health Coach Institute in 2013 to coach others through long term lifestyle change using the ancestral health model that has helped her maintain her health and optimal weight effortlessly.  Laura also became a CrossFit affiliate owner and trainer in 2013 and has been using Primal Health Coaching since the gym opened as a way to add more value, differentiate her box from all the others and to add additional sources of revenue. She is committed to coaching others into a healthy, real food, holistic lifestyle that best suits the unique metabolic and lifestyle needs of each individual. Laura joined the Primal Health Coach Institute as a team member in 2016 as The Director of Admissions. She is also a faculty member and coach supporting, guiding and educating new Primal Health Coaches. In 2020 Laura and her family moved to Florida where she continues to coach and is rebuilding her private practice while also supporting others who want to build a career out of their passion for health and fitness with the Primal Health Coach Institute.  Laura's Certifications Include: CF Level 1, MovNat Level 1, Certified Primal Health Coach, IIN Certified Holistic Health Coach, NASM Certified Personal Trainer and NASM Women's Fitness Specialist. Laura's Top Tips Be very clear as to what you want but also why you want it - dig deep. Satiety first - build a meal that keeps you full for as long as possible. Exercise - ideally prioritise strength training but more important is something you will do consistently.

They might seem common but that's not normal.” “I kept asking my doctors “Why does this keep happening?” - Nobody could answer why it was happening.” “At this point, I was willing to resort to human sacrifice.” “That's the biggest scam going is this whole - kids have to eat something different.” “Women were told that eating meat was bad for you.” “Let's eat for nutrients, let's learn how to eat rather than diet, let's learn how to train to be fit for the life you want to live.” “More broccoli and plant based protein shakes is not going to do it.” “Muscle is the longevity organ.” “Unless you are already dead, it is literally never too late.” “Snacks is where the traps are.” “I am a big believer in your very first meal being as nutritious as you can.” “It's about finding something that works for you, your lifestyle and your preferences that is replicable regardless of the environment you are in.” “It's about building a better habit, one habit at a time.” Connect with Laura Rupsis on social media Facebook Profile: https://www.facebook.com/Laura.Puglisi.Rupsis/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachlaura.fit Website Details: https://coachlaura.fit If you have enjoyed listening to this episode - Leave us a review By leaving us a review on your favourite podcast platform, you help us to be found by others.

Today we're visiting with Dr. Al Danenberg.  Dr. Al suffered a stroke at the age of 59 and was doing okay for the next few years, but he was still on 7 medications. At the age of 66, he discovered the Paleo lifestyle and was able to lose 30 pounds and get off of all of his medications.   Fast forward a few more years, and he started having some pains that he thought was a sprain or tear.  An MRI showed multiple fractures and a mass on his spine, and soon he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma.  This brought him to research more kinds of unconventional cancer protocols, which had much better results than chemo would have.  He had a horrible accident with his brittle bones and went into hospice, intending to die.  After being evacuated to his home in the midst of Hurricane Dorian, his wife gave him some tough love and he rallied.  By the next month he was able to walk back into his oncologist's office and start a new medication.  His next PET scan showed no active cancer cells through his entire body.  Today, he's thriving, although he has many limitations and is not cured. As a dentist, Dr. Al has been exposed to a lot of low-level radiation, which is known to turn lymphocytes cancerous, as well as using mercury amalgam fillings for many years.  Dentists in his age range have a much higher occurrence of cancer than other professions. Mercury fillings are a health time bomb.  If you have mercury fillings, IAOMT.org to find a dentist in your area certified in removing mercury fillings safely.

He is a periodontist and was in private practice for 44 years. He incorporated ancestral nutrition & lifestyle with his leading-edge laser protocol to treat periodontal disease.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Dr. Manon Bolliger, ND, chats with "Dr. Al" Danenberg, Periodontist, Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, Certified Primal Health Coach, ADAPT Trained Health Professional & Author of CRAZY-GOOD LIVING!  Listen to the full story today! https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/dr-al-denenberg   Highlights from today's episode include: Dr Al Danenberg (10:09): The studies are basically four weeks. They were designed differently, but they serve the same purpose and showed the same facts. And that is the subjects in the study did not, and could not brush or floss or cheat for four weeks. They were only allowed the experimental group was only allowed to eat a healthier diet that consisted of very low carbohydrates, no added sugars and a variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts seeds, and basically good fats. The control group continued with their standard American diet eating, lots of carbs, lots of sugar and so on and so forth. Basically the entire group had active gum disease starting the program after four weeks without brushing and cleaning their mouth. Dr Al Danenberg (14:27): That's true. I'm here to scream my story. That's the story of how the gut, really the gut is actually the cause of almost every chronic disease that you can imagine. And if we can treat the gut appropriately, that means not only treat the damage in the gut, but put the food that your body needs into your body and remove the irritants, or at least avoid the irritants that are going to damage the gut. And there are other factors of damage to the gut It's not just what you eat. It's, you know, it's electromagnetic fields, it's chemicals. It's stress, it's poor exercise to over-exercise will damage the gut. Poor sleep habits will damage the gut. So there are a variety of things that will damage the gut. But if you can understand what's causing the damage and you can get control over that, you can control your life amazingly well without, without supplements and all kinds of gimmicks and gadgets that everybody wants to sell you. Dr Al Danenberg (25:04): Actually, dental plaque serves three main functions. It serves as a gatekeeper to actually allow minerals from the saliva, get into the root surface. So if there's any need for it to remineralized the tooth root surface, it can do that. Now, minerals, if you just have a toothpaste with added minerals in it, it has no value whatsoever. And you take supplements with minerals, probably no real value whatsoever, but we need to eat food that has the minerals that are bioactive, that gets absorbed into your blood system. And a lot of it gets deposited into your soul salivary glands. So when you salivate, which you do 24 hours a day, seven days a week, of course, different flows for different times of the day. This mineral, these minerals that are in the saliva can get into the root surface, but the plaque kind of distributes the minerals as is necessary.   About Dr. Al Danenberg “Dr. Al” Danenberg is a periodontist and was in private practice for 44 years.

I know that that is a very, very condensed version of what you do with your bio. And before we unpack everything that you're doing and all of the resources that you have, I'm Marisa Moon .COM. I'm hoping you can kind of tell us a little bit about your journey, your your personal history with fasting and kind of what brought you to launching your company?   [00:04:04] Yeah, I was probably in my late twenties, around twenty nine years old, and I had terrible IBS. I didn't know it was IBS at the time. I was just like, what the heck is going on in my gut? And it's really embarrassing. And I was determined to find answers and I somehow I don't know how far of looking to podcast's and I found a nutrition podcast dishing up nutrition. I think they're still in production led by these amazing dietitians and nutritionists telling me things I had never heard before about, you know, gluten sensitivities, your microbiome eating healthy fats like butter. I was like, wait a minute, because I did not eat fat and I did not even know what gluten was and I didn't know I had a microbiome, etc. They just sent me down this beautiful rabbit hole and gave me the confidence to attempt a gluten free diet to see if that was what was causing my IBS. And sure enough, it was. And all that brought me to the paleo ancestral world. And I learned while the way that I am eating now are trying to eat now is like a paleo diet. And it was just kind of like a match made in heaven for me and all made so much sense. And I was like, why is nobody talking about this and why are we not waking up to the fact that our food system has changed so much that it's destroying us. And that passion led me to blogging about my gluten free journey, my longevity kitchen dot com. And I started collaborating with some really incredible companies like Hi Vibe Superfood Usery in Chicago and my six method of really incredible weight loss program. And over time, I realized, wow, I could make this into a career. At first it was really for fun. And I became a certified health coach with the Primary Health Coach Institute. And fasting came into my life early in that journey because I was diagnosed with ADHD in my late 20s. And when I kept learning about it in the paleo literature and ancestral health literature, at first I was like, I would never do that.   [00:06:18] I love eating. Like, why would I ever skip a meal? That's crazy. Food means so much to me. I mean, I know it means a lot to everyone, but I'm like, that's like my hobby is food, you know, cooking.   [00:06:28] Cooking shows, reading cooking magazines. I went to culinary school just for fun. That's how much I love it. So I was like, OK. I don't think I'm going to skip meals on purpose. But then I started connecting the dots and I was like, wow, this is really tremendous for the brain. And I was always looking for natural remedies for my EGD brain. And I was like, I really skipped breakfast anyways on accident. So let me just try this thing out. And it was like perfect for me. It was exactly what I needed. Gave me that extra edge, that extra available mental energy so that I can be noticeably more productive. And now I really believe that this is an unspoken therapy or natural remedy or support. Like vehicle for ADHD reigns and no one's talking about it.   [00:07:16] Yeah, and it's interesting that it affected you in that way. I think a lot of people come at fasting from a myriad of different ways. But I think that the top one is health and exercising things. Did the paleo diet have a relationship with fasting or did it just. It was that just your gateway into kind of exploring diet as it is, as it helped your IBS and and at the subsequent, like, gluten sensitivity, like, did this go hand in hand or did one lead to the other?   [00:07:46] Well, some of the earliest works in the paleo diet kind of area of health and nutrition, like Mark Sissons Primal Blueprint or NORGAARD Goddesses, primal body, primal mind. They all mention the importance of intermittent fasting and how we are just constantly eating in modern times. And our body is not prepared for this constant, laborious process of digestion all day long. And how do we expect to burn body fat if we never allow our body to go without food like our ancestors always have? So even though it made logical sense to me when I was reading it at the time, I just it was kind of intimidating. I didn't even think find it appealing, you know.   [00:08:33] Yeah. I mean, I ended fasting. I think you've spoken on a few of your podcasts about like, you know, it's a very abrasive term. You know, it speaks of like deprivation and punishment to a lot of people. You know, it just doesn't have the most positive connotation.   [00:08:48] Whereas when you look at it as resting and allowing your body to take care of these other forums, it seems much more genteel, I think. And what you do in educating, you know, your clients for fasting when you personally started out, do you recall your favorite form? And I also want to get into the different fast that you personally have experienced. Have you done. Oh, Mad's 24 16. Like what? Which ones did you start out with and which ones have you experimented with?   [00:09:14] Well, in the beginning I just didn't care about the rules then, and I don't care about them now. And I think that's how I ended up in my own lane and this whole fasting arena. I just it didn't. It was never going to work for me. If I had strict rules, it wouldn't. And I didn't understand why there needed to be rules anyway. I was like, I feel great now. I'm doing it at a different time every day. I feel great. Some days I'm not doing it. Some days I am. Why does all that other stuff matter? And it just worked for me because 80 years we like novelty. We don't like routine. We don't like anything too ritualistic or predictable. And perhaps that's why I realized maybe that's not the key to it. And so to answer your question, I have and I still do. Changed my fasting routine constantly based on my needs, my social circumstances, my mood, my energy levels. The food that's in my fridge doesn't doesn't really matter. I've the longest I've gone without any food at all. Our 24 hour fast. And I've done five day low sugar juice cleanses. And those are awesome, too. They included bone broth. They were with high vibe Chicago. And I really I don't find it appealing to do longer fancy. No, I know it's the results are tremendous. And I have clients who like doing them. It's just perhaps for me, something I don't want to do when I'm older and I really want to experience that almost like spiritual or personal challenging kind of thing. I mean, right now I'm like, dude, 24 hour fast. I feel like a champ on me. Yeah. You know, you feel great. But then you're also like, wow, I don't need food. That's amazing. Like, I really don't need food. Right.   [00:11:03] The relationship and I think a lot of what you're talking about with your own personal journey is it's it's an interpersonal dialog. Right. It's not just on paper. It's not just something written out. I think you start to have a very different conversation with yourself, you know, over fasting and what we have been taught, you know, inadvertently or straight up about diet and eating and, you know, and how those were all fueled by industries that had no business talking to us about her family, things of that nature. So I think that that is it's a key point. I'm curious about that. When you get into. I want to kind of unpack your site and things like that. And a lot of what you do is, you know, this consultancy and coaching. Do you have a narrative where you begin talking with your clients about, like, you know, having an interpersonal dialog? I kind of I feel like there should be an intake form. Like, how do you feel about food, like all of these different things so you can kind of gauge and measure wherever one is at. Can you talk to us a little bit about that process?   [00:12:02] Well, there's always an intake form, even when someone just wants to hop on a quick strategy call, which is what I call them. It's like a quick consultation. They're not sure if they want a health coach. They think they want a health coach. They don't even know what the health coaches and. So just a brief form that I asked them for that call is what's not working in your life right now regarding your health and well-being? What's your vision for health and well-being? What top three things you want to change in your life regarding your health and well-being? And do you cook? And just a couple other questions. And then that kind of gives me an idea. Are there goals, like really pressing for them? Are there goals like really clearly defined? Are they ready to commit to such a change? And. Are they are they dealing with challenges that I can help them with? Because I can't help everybody. I'm not even qualified to help certain people. I know what I can do. And the whole point of that strategy calls to see if we're a match. And then if they do decide to work with me as their coach, there's a way, a longer intake form, because I need to know so many details about their life, their support system, what motivates them was worked in the past. What hasn't the the things that they crave, the foods that they miss or love, what their food experiences were like growing up. If they have any negative thoughts around food or ever had negative body image issues or things that they feel like are standing in their way of progress with their health goals. There's so many things that I get into on that form so that when it's time for the sessions and I'm working with them one on one, I already know which things from the intake form would be nice to discuss and go deeper on. But actually coaching calls are really led by the client because I want to know what you want to work on. When we get on the phone, I want to know. So, Patricia, what are you looking forward to talking about today or working on this week? Because you know what you need to do or what's weighing on your shoulders or what you think about every single day when you wake up and when you go to bed. And that's what we need to work on first, because it will be the most rewarding and it will be the most motivating and we can start moving forward in it in a more confident direction.   [00:14:12] Nice. Yeah. And to that end, you have. I like your your site actually really does a great job of describing your philosophy and the nature. I think a lot of coaches struggle ironically with really conveying like the parameters in which they'll be functioning under and on your side. You have these five elements. You've got diet, gut, brain, sleep, mobility and stress. And within those, you've passed out even further terms. But you present it as this kind of, you know, harmonious environment, all of which affects each other and things of that nature. And I like that because it seems very holistic. It seems like your piece of the individual out when you start advising people and helping them and coaching them and talking with them about fasting, whatever version that looks like for them. What area of those five do you find fasting affects most quickly?   [00:15:03] Well, that's a good question. First, I just want to say I don't tell my clients to fast unless they want to fast. So you would think that because I'm a fasting coach, I would be telling everyone to fast. But I really don't know. It just depends if they're dropping the bread crumbs that make me think that's ideal for them or will work well for them. Otherwise, you know, some people just come to me for fasting, coaching, and I love that. Now, how that affects which areas regarding sleep, brain function, gut diet, stress is so hard to say because it depends on the individual. Almost everyone feels freer right away, which is crazy.   [00:15:48] You would never think that you feel freer when someone's telling you you can't have something. But it's like one less thing to do in the morning, one less thing to worry about if you're doing it right.   [00:15:57] And it's kind of like, good. There's no decision making there. I don't have to worry. Like, should I have this or should I have that? Do I need to cook? Do I need to go shopping? It's like so much easier. And then from that, you get the confidence boost, you get the energy boost, and it makes you start thinking about other things like, wow, what I thought about food or eating or breakfast was wrong or. You know, misguided. What else do I need to learn? What else can we do? Let's do more.   [00:16:24] And a lot of people aren't even ready for fasting more than 12 hours a day until they fix their stress, until they fix their sleep. And I personally went through a bout of chronic fatigue that was so debilitating I couldn't even, like, stand up for longer than five minutes without feeling like I got to put my arm and body weight on the countertop to support me and constantly taking naps throughout the day. It was great. I thought I was losing my mind. I thought there was some Romi and I mean, there was something wrong with me. But ultimately, if you don't have your sleep figured out, that is already such a huge burden on the body in so many ways, it just affects everything that you do.   [00:17:09] And without that being something that you prioritize or start to improve, your diet is not going to be giving you the changes that you hear everybody else is experiencing. Your exercise program is not going to be giving you the results that everybody else is getting. And your stress is going to be worse. Your gut is going to be worse. Your brain's going to be worse. And so that's why those things are all on one holistic kind of graph. It's it's inevitable that one will always suffer because of the way our lives are in the modern world. But they all need your attention at one point in your life or another. Otherwise, you're wasting your time and energy on things that we'll never really realize. Right.   [00:17:56] Yeah, absolutely. I'm wondering the online course. So you've got this health focus for clients. It's interpersonal, this coaching. But the online course with intermittent fasting freedom. Can you give us, like, some of the core tenants? First of all, how long does it last? Is it is it based on live episodes like the structure of it? And then also kind of the core tenants that it's meant to deliver to the recipient?   [00:18:22] Yeah, well, I called it intermittent fasting freedom because the whole purpose is to free someone from dieting that sucks. And just finally create a lifestyle that makes sense for you, helps you achieve the life you imagined and feels like it makes sense and something you want to continue. And the course is a multimedia course. It's got videos, slideshows, and it's got text based modules and tons of worksheets.   [00:18:51] For me, worksheets are so important because I'm not there with you to kind of personalize this journey and understand your personal challenges necessarily because I'm not coaching you one on one.   [00:19:03] You're taking this online, although you do have contact with me throughout the course and can leave comments and questions for me, etc.. The worksheets help you kind of work through a lot of these things, like, for instance, in the very beginning, everyone goes on a 21 day carbohydrate reduction phase. It's nothing like low carb. It's nothing like HITO. It's just more realistic for the body so that you're not requiring so much insulin production and you're not addicted to carbohydrates.   [00:19:31] So everyone goes under one hundred thirty grams of carbs for 21 days. And in that process, we have to talk about a lot of things, the worksheets, rock walking through foods that spin you out of control, foods that you feel like you can eat in moderation. We go through circumstances in your life, places that you go or people that you're around that trigger those cravings, an appetite that are out of control. And slowly together, we learn a lot about fasting. In the meantime, we start twelve hour fast just to see how that feels, because if you can't do twelve hours, it's a sign that your metabolism needs a little while to fix the mess that you've made over the years. And everyone starts experimenting with 14 to 16 hours to kind of find their sweet spot, because I don't think anyone should be trying a 16 eight or an 18 six if they don't already feel really good at the 15 hour mark or the 14 hour mark.   [00:20:25] And there's just no rush that we're talking about, something that could pay off for the rest of your life. And it is already going to be paying off when you're doing twelve hours, when you're doing 13 hours, when you're doing 14 hours, you're gonna feel it. And that's why you're going to want to jump in. All matter. Jump in the 18 six. But I teach everyone really the signs to look for. I mean, even just as women, some of us can't do that so fast. It just doesn't come naturally to us as it does to managers jumping sixteen, eight or 18, six. And if it's affecting your menstrual cycle or if you're especially hungry during your ovulation phase, these are important biological signals that are happening to remind you of what really matters. And if we don't have that intuitive relationship with fasting, it'll be just like every other diet we've tried that we quit in the end.   [00:21:12] Right. Miserably, too. I think that, though, the worst part about failed diets are ways of trying to obtain health for any reason, weight loss, you know, disease, abrasion, things of that nature is that when you lose it, something you kind of leave more dejected than you ever came into it. There's that added horrifying aspect.   [00:21:35] And I'm sorry. I just want to say that I think the fasting industry does that to a lot of people, too, because you join a Facebook group that's for mad or you see everybody says you got to do 18 six or you're not going to get autophagy and you can't do it. And you feel like a failure or you feel like you're not doing a good enough or you want to have some cream in your coffee and everyone's telling you you're not really lose weight. Is that going to happen? And that's not true. I see it all the time. You will still lose weight if you might have a different route, a different path to get there. It might take longer.   [00:22:06] I mean, there are just so there is so much flexibility and fasting. I wish more people were talking about it because that's what will help us share it with the world.   [00:22:15] Yeah, I agree. I think that that's true. And it's funny to talk about flexibility and fasting because, again, even with my what I think is a storied history with it, you know, my initial thought is black and white, open or closed.   [00:22:29] You know, you're fasting. You're not. And I think you're right there. If there isn't flexibility, then it won't be appropriate for the masses. It will only be for a very Taipei, you know, individuals like myself who are aren't scared at that prospect. And I don't think that it should exist that way because not just between genders and and all of those things, but we're all so varied and storied, you know, lifestyle, ethnicity, gender, all of these things vary from every single person to the next. And there's got to be flexibility within it.   [00:22:57] You know, all black or white thinkers, like we're all all or nothing. So many of us are like, if I can't do it the best, I'm not going to do it at all. Or people just don't fast on the weekends because they can't do the 18 six on the weekends. And I'm like, what about 14?   [00:23:12] What's the other one, 10, 14 time? What about Pat? That's still good. It's better than not fasting at all. Because trust me, Monday is going to be a lot harder when all you've been doing is eating and drinking on weekend. Oh.   [00:23:24] Absolutely. And that actually ties into a lot of what I want to discuss about trends and things that you've seen over your clients and things of that nature going back into a fasting lifestyle after not, as you mentioned, being difficult. But before we get to that, I want to look at your podcast.   [00:23:41] And I just want it unpacked for everyone listening. It's called the Foundation Wellness Podcast. And really quickly, just some logistics. When was it started? What was the impetus and how many do you release a month or a week?   [00:23:55] Well, the foundation of wellness is something I created just about three years ago. I can't believe it's been that long and I've wanted to do one forever. But I knew that I wouldn't be consistent with it or have like the ongoing motivation or confidence to really realize this dream. If I didn't have a co-host and through working with High, I met a registered dietitian, Jessica Doga, who I adore and is still my best friend today. And she helped me in the first couple years of the podcast co-host it. And it was a great dynamic because we each offered something the other didn't. We have opposite personalities and voices and it was just such a great way to kick off the show. And the concept of the show was something I always wanted. The Foundation of Wellness is really about offering listeners a refreshing take on diet and lifestyle that helps to diffuse the intimidation factors about so many things around dieting and wellness. And then also just being really relatable. That's so important because so many of the nutrition and wellness podcasts are like sometimes even over my head and I'm in the field and it's like sounds like everyone's got something to prove. And I'm like, well, who are we really talking to? I want to talk to people who might need a health coach one day. I want to talk to people who are frustrated and but they're still looking for answers because they're on the edge, man. They're like this cause they're like, I know something is out there that can make me feel better. I just haven't found it yet. But, you know, they could give up at any time. So many people do. And so I hope the foundation of wellness makes learning about health and wellness fun and also feels relatable. And I think we've we've begun to achieve that. We published shows every single week until I got to run the 80th episode or or something. And now I'm just trying to keep up do it all myself. I finally hired an editor and so that helps a lot. I was doing all the production myself and the promotions, graphics, everything. And it's hard. It's hard when you have a business that you're running to because I wasn't making any money on the park, as it were. I was literally just to provide a library of content for my audience, followers and clients.   [00:26:08] Nice. Yeah, it is. It's a lot of work. I think that people are discovering that somewhere. I feel like about a year ago it got advised on some massive Tony Robbins kind of platform where everyone was advised that everyone started podcast because 90 percent of the people that bring me on their podcast, you know, are talking about, you know, how difficult it is and and asking me to speak to it. And I was like, yeah, I never thought it was going to be easy. But I think that a lot of people go into it thinking it's just this very simple platform. There's so much post-production work and preproduction. If you're doing one well with research and things of that nature, it is. It's a labor of love, even if you're making money off of it. I've never heard there's very few that are actually making like parts of America, like these kinds of, you know, massive figures off of it. And that's what I love about it. It's, you know, it's information sharing and things of that nature. How many do you so do you shoot to release one a week or is it just kind of varied? Given your business schedule?   [00:27:03] Well, right before the pandemic, it was still once a week. And I slowly had to figure out, you know, how am I going to keep managing everything like I'm in school right now for the second level certification at the Private Health Coach Institute to qualify for the board certification exam. And I realize I just can't keep doing it all. And so now, you know, I've told my listeners a couple times through the pandemic, like it's been hard for me. I even went through a stage of depression. I didn't know what was going on. My husband's an emergency room physician. I didn't know what to expect and I had to work from home. All of a sudden, my Internet sucks at home. It was just too many changes, like for me too fast and too many unknowns. And in that I told my podcast listeners, like, the only thing like I truly have control over is the podcast. And I feel like I need to be more reasonable with my expectations regarding that. And so now I'm just kind of there's always gonna be at least one or two a month, always right now, even while I'm in school. But if I feel like I need to be satisfied with two a month right now, because once a week is just not going to happen. And I just went through like my long advance booking of guests. And so if I'm creating the content myself or I have to find, I guess there's like this whole nother, you know, amount of work that needs to happen. So right now, the. Expect to hear from me once or twice a month.   [00:28:24] Yeah, and it's great. I like how candid you are. I've listened to several of your podcasts and you mentioned, you know, this depression. And one of your episodes very, very candidly lays out this feeling of depression and and, you know, kind of working through that moment with your husband and things like that. And I think it's important because particularly with fasting and all dietary research, it doesn't exist on paper. It exists in a living organism. You know, that we call human beings. And so when you when you go to correlate or translate something that's being studied on paper, I theorized on paper and you apply it to a living creature, you have to have the flexibility that you're talking about and the authenticity to experience, you know, depression or anxiety which the world over, you know, has been suffering through these things. And so I really appreciate that you have that very transparent lens for your audience. You're able to kind of walk through it. It's I think it's very unique and really necessary. I'm wondering as you've gone along. So we had a lot of move. Rapid fire questions are coming up and we have a lot of people that really want coaches to be asked with fasting coaches and things like that. A lot of what you speak to, which is the particulars of someone being an individual. And so I want to start off with a couple of my questions and then we'll get into the rapid fire. But you've had because you deal with people on this very level, you have, you know, your podcast where you advise you have this consultancy and coaching with one on one. And then you also have these online resources and classes. So you've come across people on a myriad of different platforms. And I'm wondering if you yourself have kind of recognized trends or anything like that that you can speak to different client profiles like, you know, people who prior to the pandemic, of course, work nine to five struggle in these areas, more with fasting as opposed to those that don't front that women and fathers of mothers and fathers of young children. You know, the fasting can vary for them. Do you have any, like, kind of summaries of different client profiles for fasting that you can proffer up for us today?   [00:30:27] Yeah, you know, I kind of wish I took a minute to gather these thoughts because it's such a great question and I need to work on that. But I just hear you give a couple examples was perfect because it triggered a few memories for me, like people with small children that have a really hard time with fasting because they're constantly around children snacks, which are often not even the foods they usually will eat like goldfish crackers, pretzels and just cookies and things that they know are not really going to contribute well to their goals.   [00:31:00] But they can't help themselves. They're always around and they're always preparing their children's food and all these snacks in between. And, you know, I've I've learned that if it takes some real determination to make the changes at home that support your fasting goals, because you can have all of that stuff already prepared for your kids the day before while you're in your eating window.   [00:31:26] And you can also get the kids involved once they're at a certain age. I mean, they don't have to be very old to grab their own goldfish crackers and put them in a baggie. And I don't have children, so I'm not usually giving a lot of ice in that area. But over time, I have seen like, hey, there are certain things where we need to put our foot down. Like if your family doesn't want, you stop buying ice cream and donuts and Doritos, but you need that in order to move in the right direction and just kind of get through this phase of breaking those bad habits.   [00:31:56] Then you either need to put those foods in a separate part of the pantry, your own food on a different shelf, put their stuff in that weird cabinet above the fridge that nobody uses and, you know, get it out of the house if you can.   [00:32:09] I mean, if you're the one who buys the groceries and does all the cooking and I say you're the one who makes all the rules. And I think you can put up with your family being annoyed with you for like two weeks. And anytime they want Doritos or pizza or donuts, they can just go get it. You're asking them to please support you in these one or two weeks while you help break the habit. I think that's one of the hardest things. And the people that come to me, I'm starting to notice, have a history of disordered eating in a way where they're like obsessive around dieting and trying to do everything right and feeling like they have to be careful of every single thing. And it starts to become like this fear based relationship with food. And they come to me because I'm so like laidback or flexible in my approach that they're like, I need to get some of that. And then together we start to achieve that somehow.   [00:32:58] I honestly, I can't give you the formula, but all I can say is when you're working with a coach, they start to make you more self-aware and you start to just realize the things that you are doing without any real reason. Besides that, it became a habit. And together they we realized that fasting actually gives them more.   [00:33:21] Um, because like I said earlier, they don't have to think about if they're doing it right or wrong, if they're eating at the right time in the morning or having too much carbs or too much protein or whatever, it's like they're free. Then they can just eat whatever they want within reason when the eating window opens.   [00:33:40] And I think that's surprised me. I didn't imagine that someone with a history of disordered eating would take to fasting in such a healthy way. Well, I'm starting to see that more and more is the case.   [00:33:52] Yeah, absolutely. And I think you're right. I think it could be nothing more than a long novel about, you know, the different observations to be made among those groups of people. There you go. That's your next assignment. Write a book for us. All right. Well, we're back down to our Rapid Fire section of the podcast. And for everyone listening, I want everyone to know that I love you writing in. I adore our audience. Feisty and calm as they come. And I want you to know that I will continue asking your questions to the experts that we have on in the areas that they pertain. So the first question we have is what what for you? What is the most unexpected benefit that you personally received from fasting that you hadn't anticipated?   [00:34:39] My appetite decreases. I didn't even think that was possible.   [00:34:43] I was already kind of achieving that. With the paleo type diet. But food was just always on my mind. Like, that's all I ever wanted was to eat. Even if I had just eight, I wanted to eat again. If somebody else was eating around me and nowadays, I don't remember the last time I said, I'm starving, like, you know how that's just kind of part of our language casually today. Like we're just having eat and we're like, I'm starving. And really, you you just eat lunch like five hours ago, like you're fine. But I don't even get that feeling anymore.   [00:35:11] That was probably the biggest shock to me was that food became less of a, I don't know, dictator of my my day to day mood and appetite. It's just incredible.   [00:35:26] Yeah, it is. And it's crazy how beholden we are to it on so many levels. You can say it, but it feels like the words just put out there don't really convey, you know, what a slave. I think that the majority of people, at least in the United States, are to it. What are the top triggers that for you that you advise, that you find for yourself or for CLY and clients that make fasting difficult?   [00:35:50] So social or it wasn't really clarified, but that the triggers of their delineate fasting.   [00:35:57] Well, honestly, if you haven't slept on a biological level, you're getting hormones that signal for you to eat.   [00:36:05] And for you to eat carbs. And for you eat them very soon. And so you might not even usually crave carbs. But all of a sudden, you find yourself like you just got to have something or you've just got to eat. And that's because you don't sleep.   [00:36:18] And so that's number one. Number two, if you're smelling somebody heat up, their like tacos at work.   [00:36:25] It's going to make you want to eat. If you're scrolling social media and there's food pictures, all in your feed is going to make you want to eat and being extremely emotional or for women,   [00:36:35] Those few days leading up to our period, the day that it actually starts, I mean, we are seeing like a huge plummet in our hormones right before that happens. And it can be such a shock to you emotionally and hormonally in a way that really affects your appetite. And if you don't give into that a little bit and really understand what's going on there, it can even happen in the ovulation phase. Then you start thinking that you screwed up or you just can't do it or you're not good enough. And really what's going on is your brain logy is like, hey, excuse me. Now is not the time for this whole 18 six thing. Can you relax a little bit?   [00:37:11] Yeah, exactly. We had people right in asking the things that enable fasting. So I guess, conversely, the other side of that, do you find that there are techniques that people can easily implement that kind of enable them to do a daily fast?   [00:37:28] Yeah, you have to eat more nutrient dense foods and bring your carbohydrate intake down to something more reasonable for the human body. I mean, never before in history did humans have so much access to readily available shelf stable carbohydrates made from flour and that we could eat anytime day or night.   [00:37:47] And if you're eating those carbohydrates at night, especially, you can have 25 to 50 percent more of an insulin response to the same exact food. If you eat it at night than if you were to eat it during the day. And that means you're packing on more weight and you're gonna crave more food fast, there's going to be more difficult the next day. And fasting come so much easier when you start to cut out some of those flowerings foods and some of the sugar sugary drinks especially. That is a tough habit to break. But man, does it pay off.   [00:38:17] Yeah, there. And this goes along with we had several questions to this train of thought. So we'll I'll ask further. We had people ask if you recommend a specific diet or lifestyle. And also can fasting in European humble opinion, can it be done in this? You know, there's there's people writing in who are vegans. There are people who are trying the paleo. Do you feel like fasting is better suited to one of them? Can it be done under all diets?   [00:38:47] I'm starting to see that it can't be done under all diets, although I just. I guess I don't really get it, so I don't understand how fruitarian is for innocent people who only eat fruit. Are fasting like I just don't get it. But it's not like I really care to get it. It's not my area is not my arena. I believe in an ancestral diet and an ancestral diet is focused on eating the foods that have been available to humans for tens of thousands of years and before civilization. So before we were farming for the masses, before we had refrigeration, grocery stores, convenience. Before that, humans diet consisted of things that you could hunter-gatherer or grow or catch. And that's important because our genes have adapted or evolved to expect certain nutrients and to you know, they can't necessarily deal with the onslaught of toxins and sugar and carbs that we have now. And so I think that that's one of the most important things, is eating a well-rounded, diverse, like variety packed plant heavy. But digestion, friendly diet that is filled with adequate fats from healthy animals so that you can feed the myelin around your cells, especially the brain cells. Man, we really need that. That healthy cholesterol. Cholesterol. We've all been so afraid for so long of eating healthy fats or eating saturated fats or eating cholesterol or animal products. And I believe it's all misguided. And the science has really misled us in a direction that just goes so far from commonsense and human wisdom. And we can really look at all of these time tested lifestyle factors and dietary influences that that are right there for the taking. Like if we just sit and think for a moment what has always worked for humankind. I really believe it's a Whole Foods diet that includes a huge variety of plants and wild or pastured animal foods. Yeah, we have people asking, what is the most common misperception regarding fasting that you come into contact with, that you have to do it perfectly, that it has to be clean and can't be dirty, that you have to do it longer. And that's why you're not losing weight. Like, there's just the rules are let me say this. The people who are screaming the rules are usually one of two things that are really, really science driven people who are just looking at the research. And so they're like, this is what the research says. So this is the way you have to do it. But nutrition research sucks. It's just hard to to consider all the variables that really affect our bodies, reaction to nutrition. And then there's also the other group of people are people who are in the minority.   [00:41:45] They're the two percent of people who can't have stevia during a fast or it's going to trigger insulin. They're the people who can't have any dairy in their coffee because it's going to make them hungrier and make fasting harder. But we're talking about a small percentage of the population or if people have to lose over 100 pounds. Those aren't the people that I work with. Again, I usually don't attract people like that, probably because I didn't get into fasting for my weight loss journey. And I've helped plenty of people lose 40 pounds, 50 pounds. And that's pretty remarkable.   [00:42:15] But I think it might change when your metabolism, you know, your whole metabolic health history is so far from optimal because of years and years of damage or living with obesity or Type two diabetes. I think that really takes a different, more strict approach than the type that I and I believe in. Right.   [00:42:37] Yeah. And finally, we had people talk. You you speak a lot about this as well. Breaking habits of sugar and refined carbohydrates and things like that. Do you have a set group of time that you advise people to break these habits with people like inquire like is it one week away from it? Is it two days away from it? And can fasting help speed that up?   [00:43:03] It depends where it is. I mean, I love this concept by Gretchen Rubin, she calls it abstainer or moderator and what she's getting at. She's habits. And happiness expert. And she explored that some people can eat certain things in moderation. And that's what we've all been taught, like Jews in moderation. You can have it in moderation, but some of us can't.   [00:43:22] It depends on the food. So I teach my clients to go through this whole abstainer moderator worksheet that makes them think like which things actually spinning out of control and make you like have an eating frenzy and dream about the food every single day from that point forward. Or which ones do you feel better when you have just a bite or just a piece? And just having that permission makes you have more control. And that is moderation.   [00:43:46] Now, for me, I can't eat French fries in moderation. You got to be kidding me. I can not. OK. So I just don't eat them. I'm better off abstaining from French fries personally, like I'll have them on my birthday or like for a big celebration. You know, every few months. But the day that I have those fries grama be dreaming about those fries the next day, I want to every single day that follows. And so I know I can't have them my reason, but I can have ice cream in moderation. I can have, you know, like a sweet drink in moderation. Now, once you figure that out about yourself, you can see where you find the freedom.   [00:44:24] Do you find the freedom from abstaining or do you find the freedom for moderation? And then you really have to probably go at least two weeks of breaking a habit that is so ingrained.   [00:44:35] And it's easier than you think because it's not always just about getting rid of it. It's like what triggers the habit? Where are you when you do that habit? Are you eating popcorn every single night after dinner because you go sit on the couch and you watch your show, just go watch your show in a different room, use your phones that you have to use both hands and your hands aren't free to eat popcorn. Do that for two weeks. Go for a walk instead.   [00:44:57] And before you know it, you broke that habit. And is it gonna be harder? Someone's eating popcorn right next to you. Yeah. But I mean, within reason, it's totally doable and easier than people think.   [00:45:08] Yeah, I agree. And I think you're right, it's an interpersonal dialog. Along with this theorist about, you know, moderation versus abstaining. I agree. Well, Marisa, so we're out of time. But I want to say thank you so much for giving us your time and your expertize today. I really appreciate it.   [00:45:23] Oh, yeah. It's been a blast.

#88: Fasting for Adult ADD/ADHD and Mental Energy(full video of this episode/interview here: https://youtu.be/-wnG91Ewnwg or tinyurl.com/FOWyoutube)Brief Summary and Bio:Today I'm sharing the interview I had on The Fasting for Freedom Summit in early 2020, where I shared my theory on Intermittent Fasting for the ADHD Adult and Distracted Brains. We discuss my own ADHD diagnosis, how our brains differ from neurotypical brains, and how fasting helps me with mental energy. I go into more of the supporting evidence I have collected over time, and I also share my brain mapping results with Dr. Sam Effarah which demonstrated that my ADD symptoms were indeed worse after I broke my fast. You'll want to listen to this one no matter who you are because it really is incredible all the benefits we gain from fasting, and the way it improves mental energy is undeniable.

(NOTE: There's a video for this episode you can find on YouTube: https://youtu.be/o4uJmvaA2L4Or on our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/FoundationofWellnessPodcast). I feel like there's something missing in the content out there right now; a vulnerability and authenticity that represents how many of us are feeling lately.

And my most recent one was just last week. My depression seems to always turn up in one of two cases. Primarily, it's when my big plans get interrupted. Secondarily, it's around my cycle. Listen to this episode to learn what it was like for me, what I believe the trigger to be, and how I got out of it.Host: Marisa Moon is a Certified Primal Health Coach and host/producer of The Foundation of Wellness podcast.

This information and recording is for informational and educational purposes only.Points of Discussion:5 Key Markers for Metabolic Syndrome (3 qualifies you):1. Low HDL Cholesterol (40 for men, 50 for women)2. High Triglycerides (over 150, standard lipid panel)3. Obesity - Waist Circumference4. High Blood Pressure5. High Blood Sugar (elevated A1C, or elevated fasting glucose; pre-diabetic or diabetic)- High “Waist Circumference” - fat around abdomen, visceral fat, is most dangerous - Insulin Resistance is a big driver- What is Insulin Resistance - Analogy - Insulin is building or “anabolic” - Fat Storing Hormone - Eating Carbohydrates (and protein) raises blood sugar and requires more insulin. - Cells become resistant to insulin. - Body keeps producing insulin, sugar levels stay high, cells don't use insulin - Can increase blood pressure and inflammation and leads to other Metabolic Syndrome problems- The biggest thing to consider with Metabolic Syndrome is “Is Insulin a Factor Here” because it could be other things like nutrient deficiencies, oxidative stress - Insulin Resistance is the #1 factor and needs to be addressed first- What are the signs of Metabolic Syndrome or Insulin Resistance? - Obesity or Beer Belly, it's just a matter of “when” not “if” - Dr. Kraft (not like the foods) lab documentation comparing fasting insulin numbers and A1C showing insulin resistance 10 years in advance (60% tested with normal A1C and fasting glucose still had some degree of insulin resistance) - By the time you're diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, you're in stage 4 of insulin resistance- “Fasting Insulin” is an additional lab you'll have to request from your doctor (most are only running fasting glucose and A1C) - Score ideally under 8 (standard US units) but doctor will say you're normal under 15- Waist Circumference - Across the belly button, not the hips. - > 40 inches for men, > 35 inches for women; slightly less for Asians because they get obesity/metabolic syndrome at a lower waist circumference.- How does Metabolic Syndrome affect your life? - puts you at a much higher risk for type 2 diabetes - higher risk for strokes, heart attacks, alzheimer's, dementia, death - Alzheimer's is still without a cure - Dale Bredesen “The End of Alzheimer's” - testing alone is $3-5K, supplements $200-300 a month, and additional intervention costs - Best thing is prevention- Even with only 1 or 2 of the Metabolic Syndrome criteria, you still need to worry and take action- Estimated that more than half of the population is either pre-diabetic or diabetic- Lack of sleep, chronic stress, chronic inflammation, environmental toxins, processed foods; so many factors working against us in modern life- Are these conditions reversible? - Yes, and quickly - Off diabetic drugs and without diabetic labs in 6 months- Michael works with a difficult population segment: truck drivers - Even people with double-digit A1C; normal is in the low “5's”. Even people with numbers off the charts. - Hundreds of people reversing diabetes with his help - People reversing high blood pressure, getting off statin drugs- American Diabetes Association, new journal of care 2020, new definition for “remission.” Finally admitting that's possible. - Remission is Normal A1C with no drugs for 12 months, is full remission; a pre-diabetic with no drugs is partial remission- The #1 Thing anyone can do is simple but not easy: - Lower your carbohydrates, get rid of processed foods- “The 3 Public Enemies of Health” - Processed Oils, canola, soybean, corn oil, safflower - Processed Sugars - Grains - IF he could only pick 2 it would be grains and processed oils - Grains are lacking nutrition, they're inflammatory, destructive to gut health and insulin - Processed oils are so inflammatory and disrupting hormones - Focus on those two and you'll end up cutting sugars too - Maybe you're not low carb yet, but to take it to the next level you go “Keto” to reverse your conditions - Fasting is another strategy to try- What to eat on the go? - Canned Seafood (canned seafood is always wild caught) without toxic oils (olive oil, salt, water, okay) - Pressure Canned grass-fed meats - avocados - nuts and seeds - leafy greens - fermented foods - Rotisserie Chicken (spend on organic wherever possible like at Whole Foods Market $9.99) - Use the carcass to make bone broth - Seek out Salad Bars (make olive oil + vinegar dressing)- What's the motivation? - Truck drivers can lose their commercial license without good medical records/lab results - Up until recently, if you were insulin-dependent you couldn't drive on the interstate but they're loosening the restrictions because so many people have it - Michael's Dad's radio show: Trucking Business and Beyond on XM Sirius 146 (monday through friday) - How many people in your life suffer when your health suffers? - Annual average cost of care for type 2 diabetic is over $10K (this cost alone can bankrupt the US) - When your health declines you will take more sick days, can't play with your kids or grandkids - you don't want your loved ones to have to take care of you or help pay your bills- Exercise - A single bout of heavy lifting increases insulin sensitivity for 48 hours- Michael's team has an online course about resolving Metabolic Syndrome completely - Learn.letstruck.comResources:- Learn.letstruck.com- Dale Bredesen Book: “The End of Alzheimer's”- Instagram @rutherford_ntp: https://www.instagram.com/rutherford_ntp - healthytribe.com The Fasting for Freedom summit starts March 2nd, 2020, and it's totally Free.

He is board certified by the American Association of Psychiatry and Neurology with a focus on anti-aging, as well as body and brain wellness.You can learn more from Dr Cohen on our previous interview where he explained the benefits of IV vitamin therapy and concerns about increased oxidative stress in our bodies, and that interview is on episode #57 on The Foundation of Wellness.… Join me inside my new facebook group: “The Foundation of Wellness - a Refreshing Diet & Lifestyle Chat”facebook.com/groups/FOWpodcastFor professional Inquiries contact - Marisa Moon, Certified Primal Health Coach: marisa@marisamoon.com;Disclaimer: Consult with your doctor or functional medicine practitioner before trying any of the remedies or dietary interventions mentioned in this episode. This information and recording is for informational and educational purposes only.Points of Discussion:- Oxygen, how can we use it for medical therapies?- Hyperbaric Chambers are similar to the pressure you experience inside an airplane during flight - The increase in pressure will increase the amount of oxygen distributed into your body- In Medical school, Dr. Cohen always believed a pill can solve everything, but now he realizes there are more things we can do to improve our health.- Father was diagnosed with alzheimer's dementia, sparked his interest in research for hyperbaric therapy- Thousands of international articles and research on hyperbaric therapy online at pubmed.gov- Marisa inquires about why we can't just breathe in more oxygen by taking deep breaths, and what the pressure does to help? - You can't just breathe in more air because oxygen concentration in the air is always 20% - Boyle's Law: Absorption of gas is directly proportionate to pressure of the gas. Thus, lower pressure makes it more difficult to absorb oxygen, higher pressure makes it easier. - Hyperbaric chambers start with 100% Oxygen Concentration in the air- Benefits range from decreasing inflammation, higher oxygen concentration in the blood and free radical scavenging and prevention/reduction of disease. - Does Hyperbaric therapy work after just one session?- FDA approved for a few conditions including Carbon Monoxide poisoning- Anemia patient story- Cancer patient, post-radiation example- Is this treatment covered by insurance?- First FDA approved condition was the “Bends” or Caisson disease- Story: Child with traumatic brain injury- Ideal candidates include brain injury, neurological disorders and autism, lyme disease, diabetic wounds, and circulatory conditions or cardiovascular events - Cardiovascular patients are shown to improve with conventional treatment combined with hyperbaric therapy- Science shows that stem cells are produced in the blood after hyperbaric treatments- Hip replacement surgery might be unnecessary if treated with hyperbaric therapy- Hyperbaric therapy can reduce amyloid plaque and possibly prevent alzheimer's and dementia - Dr. Cohen recommends starting in your 50's, decades before a diagnosis- Hyperbaric therapy works directly and indirectly - stimulates collagen growth in your body - stimulates stem cells or bone cells - indirectly affects intracellular signaling to allow cells to function more optimally - Studies show it can help parkinson's disease, stroke recovery, fibromyalgia, mood and decrease in depression, and enhance neuronal activity- Lakeshore hyperbaric uses Hard chamber, plexiglass, but other places use soft chambers and Dr. Cohen doesn't recommend it- Dr. Cohen shares a story of child on the autism spectrumResources: Lakeshore Hyperbaric Center: http://www.chicagohyperbaric.com RevIVeDoc Chicago: https://www.therevivedoc.com >> Looking for Toxin-Free Low-Sugar Natural Wine??

#64: Heart & Cholesterol Confusion, Dr. Stephen Hussey Demystifies Heart Attacks & High CholesterolShort Summary & Bio:Today we're here to get clear on what is causing heart attacks and heart disease, and what do we need to know about cholesterol in our bodies and cholesterol levels on our blood tests. Our guest, Dr Stephen Hussey is a repeat expert we love to have on, find his other interviews on episodes #40 and #61.Dr Hussey is a Functional Medicine practitioner and Chiropractor. He attained both his Doctorate of Chiropractic and Masters in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from the University of Western States in Portland, OR. He is a health coach, speaker, and the author of two books on health; The Health Evolution: Why Understanding Evolution is the Key to Our Health; The Heart: Our Most Medically Misunderstood Organ (ebook)>> Looking for Toxin-Free Low-Sugar Natural Wine??

This information and recording is for informational and educational purposes only.Points of Discussion:- How conventional medicine is missing major understandings about heart health and heart disease- Dr. Hussey's ebook- Blood clots, heart attacks, confusion - Georgio Baraldi Researcher vs Ancel Keys' Diet-Heart Hypothesis- Baraldi found people died of heart attacks with no blood clot - less than 50% of people with heart attacks had a clot - in the 50% of people with clots, the clot did not induce the heart attack - plastic cast study: found that when narrowing of arteries 70%+, the body built a collateral system of arteries to bypass it. - Biraldi's work is not studied in cardiology or medical school- Bypass surgery doesn't seem to prolong life or prevent future heart attacks- Dr. Hussey's take on Cholesterol and Plaque in Arteries - cholesterol is a miracle molecule with lots of benefits in the body - Leiden 85-Plus Study and Lothian Birth-Cohort Study show people with higher cholesterol have less disease and longer life - Cholesterol is distributed evenly in the body, even in veins, but we only find build-up in certain areas/arteries - The artery gets damaged from free-radicals, toxins, high carb diet, and other poor lifestyle choices - The body uses cholesterol to “patch” up the damage so cholesterol shouldn't be reduced- Having a discussion with your doctor - “There's no evidence that dietary saturated fat or cholesterol results in increased blood levels of cholesterol” - Look at triglycerides, HDL, and LDL. - High LDL is okay provided HDL is also high (> 50) and Triglycerides are low (< 100) - Look at markers of inflammation because it causes damage of arteries and deposits of cholesterol and calcium - High sensitivity C-Reactive protein - Homocysteine levels - Lipoprotein (a), pronounced “L.P. Little A” (a protein that gets attached to cholesterol molecule when it's damaged) - NMR lipid profile may be helpful - Insulin-Resistance Score - Instead of trying to lower cholesterol, try lowering inflammation instead - Prevent heart attacks and plaque in arteries by lowering intake of processed seed oils like canola, corn oil, soybean oil, sunflower oils with damaged fats. Lower sugar, refined carbohydrates, flour-based foods, and lower lifestyle-related stress.- Back to heart attacks and why many heart attack victims don't have a blood clot - What causes heart attacks with no clots present? - Not being fat-adapted whereas your body cannot use fat for energy - Increased oxidative stress - Imbalance in autonomic nervous system - Why is heart disease so common today? - Most-people are using mostly carbs for fuel, but the heart prefers fatty acids for fuel - Burning carbohydrates for fuel is pro-inflammatory and makes more free radical waste products; this increases oxidative stress - Signs of oxidative stress - general fatigue or lack of energy because mitochondria are damaged - chronic disease, especially fibromyalgia - heavy metal toxicity - eating lots of fried foods or charred meats - Oxidative stress depletes nitric oxide which is responsible for dilating blood vessels and plays key role in communicating our stress response to cells - Autonomic nervous system controls breathing, heart rates, dilation of arteries, stress response, etc… - requires balance to go from stress/threatening state to a relaxed state - If it's imbalanced, it can contribute to heart disease/heart attack - anxiety is a direct symptom of autonomic nervous system imbalance - heart-rate variability is a great way to track imbalances in your stress response - imbalance leads to other issues like insomnia, IBS or IBD, and more.- Dr. Hussey walks us through the cascade of events leading up to a hypothetical heart attack- What about people who run marathons or love endurance training? - Origin of the word Marathon - Book “Born to Run” about primitive runners in mexico - Be sure you're fat-adapted and only use glucose when you need to supplement during a race - Exercise is most beneficial when it's short term - Read “Primal Endurance” book to become fat-adapted- Why does LDL shoot up if you eat a paleo/primal/keto diet? - When you start to become fat-adapted, you make ketones and make more cholesterol - When your liver makes more cholesterol, it leaves more cholesterol in the blood - When you're fasting, it can increase cholesterol by 69% because we're making ketones and cholesterol - If you're a “lean mass hyper responder”, you will see even more cholesterol increase - All of the above is not something to worry about, but it is wise to look at the rest of your bloodwork like inflammation and oxidative stress, triglycerides under 100 and HDL above 50Resources: - Book an Appointment or Find Dr. Hussey at https://www.resourceyourhealth.com - Dry Farm Wines (Low Sugar Natural Wines) Penny Bottle: www.dryfarmwines.com/fowpodcast- The Health Evolution, Book by Dr. Stephen Hussey: https://amzn.to/2o0zGfh (amazon affiliate link)- The Heart, Ebook, by Dr. Stephen Hussey: https://amzn.to/2ppwnys (amazon affiliate link)- Primal Endurance book: https://amzn.to/2pidY7j - Born to Run book: https://amzn.to/36fQDU9 Get in touch with Dr. Stephen Hussey:Resourceyourhealth.com Instagram @drstephenhussey: https://www.instagram.com/drstephenhussey/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrStephenHussey/ Youtube “Resource Your Health”: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEHJGZ17zRDZ9rn7yYrC-bQ?view_as=subscriber Marisa's site: https://www.marisamoon.comLearn about *Intermittent Fasting Freedom* at marisamoon.com/iffreedomFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/FoundationofWellnessPodcastInstagram: @foundationofwellness_podcast https://www.instagram.com/foundationofwellness_podcast@marisa_moon_ https://www.instagram.com/marisa_moon_Intro/Exit Music  - "Ukulele Whistle" by Scott Holmes

Today's episode is Marisa's reflection on a popular Instagram post that states: “Drinking Kombucha for probiotics is like drinking soda for hydration”This post's caption claimed that a certain keto and fasting expert regularly experiences a 40+ point-rise in his blood glucose levels over 2 hours that follow drinking a bottle of kombucha (with various types of kombucha, even low sugar) and many other people have this problem too.Marisa was alarmed because she thought the entire post was an exaggeration.

There's a whole confusing world out there when you first discover holistic health and herbal. I know how it feels to be completely boggled by natural health solutions and the ingredients you can barely pronounce or recognize whatsoever. I thought it would be great to bring someone special onto the show to help us understand what adaptogenic herbs are, and which ingredients really deserve our attention.Sage Dammers studied raw and superfood nutrition and traditional herbal systems, especially Taoist tonic herbalism. He has worked with and trained under the world's leading master herbalists and nutrition and longevity experts in Costa Rica, Australia, Bali, China, and America.Sage has developed products internationally and given lectures on peak performance nutrition all over the world. Together with his partner AnnaBlanca, they've created Addictive Wellness superfood chocolates and powders because they believe that being healthy does not mean giving up your favorite treats!—SAVE 10% on Addictive Wellness products with code “FOWPODCAST” at addictivewellness.com —Learn more about Marisa's intermittent fasting method, and grab your free guide, at: marisamoon.com/iffreedom—For professional Inquiries contact - Marisa Moon, Certified Primal Health Coach: marisa@marisamoon.com;Disclaimer: Consult with your doctor or functional medicine practitioner before trying any of the remedies or protocols mentioned in this episode. Mickey Trescott and Marisa Moon are not physicians or medical practitioners. This information and recording is for informational and educational purposes only.Points of Discussion:Sage's journey discovering supplemental herbs and nutrition through his own experience.Fascinating Details about Chocolate:- a superior vehicle for superherbs and nutrition- high antioxidants and polyphenols- MAO-inhibitor drives the nutrients in and keeps them workingWhat are adaptogens- history of adaptogens, thousands of years ago- indian, ayurvedic, russian, chinese and Daoist/Taoist3 levels of herbs in Taoism or Daoism- poisonous- medicinal, taken for short period as treatment (like echinacea or other stimulants)- and Tonic herbs, superior herbs that build life-force taken regularlyMaca, raw vs gelatinized 3 treasures theory in Daoism/Taoism- Jing: inherited wellness “bank” or health reserve (cordyceps, eucommia, he shot wu, shilajit) - Qi: fleeting wellness “bank” needs replenishment (cordyceps, astragalus, abhwagandha, tai chi, sleep, breathing practice)- Shen: the ultimate treasure, your higher self and spiritual self that you can share once your Jing and Qi are taken care ofHow/Why to address your Jing- helps open your QI, and prepares you for Shen- Jing herb: romania- schizanda, reishi help Jing, Qi, and Shen at onceReishi mushroom- decreases stress and anxiety- not a sedative although helps you relax- inner peace- improved energy and endurance- supportive of the kidney systemsThe kidney system in Chinese medicine- includes not only kidneys, but brain, adrenal glands, and bone marrow- kidney organ plays an important role in detoxification - activated charcoal can help with kidney function impairment, filtering out toxinsAre adaptogens just a trend?- it's much more than a trend, justified by historical use for thousands of years- deserves the attention because of the ability to help long term health (small amounts, regular basis, course of one's life)Ashwangandha (one of Sage's favorites) but not good for hyper-thyroid or overactive thyroid; or if someone is taking coumadin (for blood clotting disorders)- It's important to do research for contraindications and compatibility to your medications when taking any herbs or adaptogensMarisa inquires about Rhodiola Rosea - it increased her issue with rapid heart rate (coupled with caffeine intake)- Sage has COMT++ gene that has an effect on the way he detoxes from certain neurotransmitters like norepinephrine, so Rhodiola is a problem for him too. But it's great for so many other people Try new herbs: - empty stomach with 2-4 ounces of hot water + 1/8-1/2 tsp of the new herb- sit quietly and notice how it makes you feel (spend time with the herb one-on-one, like a quiet first date)Do you need to cycle on and off of adaptogens?- depends on the person, what benefits you're looking for- Maca is sometimmes stimulating (less in gelatinized maca), which is one reason you're better off cycling on and off.- Most herbs are not this way, but some you get more benefit going on/offWhat goes into quality sleep?- Starts moment you wake, get sunlight first hours of the day- cardio in the morning, weight-lifting in afternoon (don't exercise within 2 hours of bed)- Evening: limit blue light because it mimics sunlight, use red/warm fire-looking light (try f.lux or “night mode” to tint computer screens warm/red)- Try Reishi Mushroom or Holy Basil to help bring down stress/anxiety and help sleep- Magnesium glycinate helps sleep and is easy on the gut, Magnesium l-threonate to help the brain and sleep- Sleep cycle, same sleep/wake time helps establish circadian rhythm Reishi Mushroom tips- many forms of Reishi, some powdered “mycelium” (some are bad) which is grown on a gluten-free grain medium- lots of mycelium is done poorly and ends up being primarily grain instead of mushroom- mycelium products are qaulity verified when they test for alpha-(grains) & beta-glucans (medicinal mushrooms)- Ultimate Reishi is wood-grown like they are in nature, and in Addictive Wellness products.- Some mushrooms are just water-extracted and that's fine. But for Reishi, you need alcohol AND water extractions. - You can buy dual-extracted reishi in tincture form or dried powder form- Reishi should have a strong bitter taste, that's a good sign (The “Bitterer the Betterer”)- Nighttime drink of 4 ounces hot water, 1/4 abhwagandha + 1/2 tsp reishi; optional add stevia- Reishi and Cacao couple together so well, making reishi taste less bitter- Try Cacao Elixir Blend by Addictive WellnessResources: 10% off Addictivewellness.com with code “FOWPODCAST”Addictive Wellness Products:- Reishi (Dual-Extracted Wood-Grown)- Cacao Elixir Blend - Energy Chocolate - Tranquility ChocolateAdditive Wellness YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/addictivewellnessSages Ultimate Guide to Healthy Sleep: https://youtu.be/0NvoZ61RP6g Video “How to Block All Blue Light on your iPhone for Free”: https://youtu.be/iHBJK85vXNQ Video “Benefits of Red Light at Night & Sunlight During the Day”: https://youtu.be/wNtS1XPF5Iw Always check with your doctor before starting new herbal supplements or remedies to be sure you do not have any contraindications or medications that will negatively combine with these natural ingredients. When trying a new herb, take it on an empty stomach and sit for a short while paying attention to how it makes you feel.

Mickey Trescott is a chef and certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner who helps people succeed on allergen-free diets like the Autoimmune Protocol, otherwise known as the AIP elimination diet. Mickey is a former vegan and has an amazing story to share about her journey discovering that she had two autoimmune diseases and finding her way to recovery. She's a leader in the community of the autoimmune paleo protocol. Her first book is called The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook which has won awards and became a national best-seller. She runs a website called AutoimmuneWellness.com and a podcast called The Autoimmune Wellness Podcast. She also helped co-write a guidebook called “the Autoimmune Wellness handbook” which helps you through so much more than the diet, like how to be an informed patient and address all areas of your life than can affect your autoimmune condition.Mickey and Angie now teach and certify other healthcare practitioners to become AIP certfiied coaches, so needless to say Mickey is an absolute EXPERT in the field of autoimmune wellness and dieting. Her new book just came out and it's called “The Nutrient-Dense Kitchen” which focuses on an often overlooked but vital element of the AIP diet which is to eat foods that are rich in nutrients so that you can support the healing process with great success.For professional Inquiries contact - Marisa Moon, Certified Primal Health Coach: marisa@marisamoon.com;Jessica Dogert, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist: jessdogert@gmail.comDisclaimer: Consult with your doctor or functional medicine practitioner before trying any of the remedies or protocols mentioned in this episode. Mickey Trescott and Marisa Moon are not physicians or medical practitioners. This information and recording is for informational and educational purposes only.Points of Discussion:What is an autoimmune disease?Mickey's story experiencing symptoms at age 26- 6 doctor's later she was diagnosed with 2 Autoimmune Diseases: Celiac Disease and Hashimotos Thyroiditis- “Normal” thyroid panel test results even with a thyroid autoimmune disease- Needed to request specific tests for Thyroid such as Free T3 and Free T4- Vegan Gluten-Free Diet made her conditions worse- Eating meat for the first time made her feel good right away - Mickey started autoimmunewellness.com to share what she's learned about eating and cooking for autoimmune diseaseWhat's the AIP Diet?- More than a Diet, it's a process or protocol to identify foods that trigger symptoms for you as an individual- Starts with an elimination phase (research based): grains, legumes, nuts, eggs, dairy, seeds, nightshades and foods derived from those groups- Take those foods out 1-3 months and then reintroduce to see what works and what doesn't (starting with least inflammatory foods first)- Elimination stage is so important, 100% compliance, to calm the immune system- Nutrient-density is the other half of the equation (besides elimination) because they provide materials to heal your bodyNutrient Dense Foods that are often left out:- organ meats, bone broth, colorful/seasonal fruits and veggies, cold-water fatty fish, shellfish, grass-fed pasture-raised meats, fermented foods.Some of the signs to look for when you reintroduce foods during the protocol:- any symptoms return, skin issues and digestive changes are big ones. Mood changes and sleep disturbances, fatigue, joint pain, and brain fog or hangover feelings. The Gut is Skin and includes our digestive tract.- Our skin reflects the health of our digestive tract. Unexpected symptoms:- When Mickey accidentally eats gluten she notices a change in her mood, she's more irritable, irrational and emotionally unstable.- When Marisa drinks coffee too regularly it makes her more stressed out and emotionally unstable.Mickey shares her story about weaning off of a major coffee addiction.- You can be sensitive to caffeine and not the coffee bean or vice versa. (the former is often for people with adrenal and thyroid disorders)Nutrient-Density:- The amount of nutrients in relation to the amount of energy/calories in a certain food- Our food system is flooded with nutrient-poor foods that fill us up but don't offer anything regarding nourishment.- When you have autoimmune disease you especially need nutrients to heal whatever your immune is damaging in your condition.- She wrote “The Nutrient Dense Kitchen” because the importance of nutrient-density has gotten lost in the growing field of AIP and Paleo.- Nutrient Density is important for everyone, not just autoimmunity. - Seasonal (and local) foods are most dense with nutrients, such as local wild berries - Wild plants have to defend themselves which means more nutrients - The most nutrient-dense animal proteins are cold-water fatty fish and shellfish. Next is grass-fed beef. Pork ranges widely depending on if the pig ate a foraged (pasture) diet. Regenerative farmers raise animals in a way that yields the most nutrient-dense meat and protects the earth and environmentRegenerative farms:- raise animals in a way that yields the most nutrient-dense meat, good for animals and humans, and protects the earth/environment- (sources named under “resources” below)Supplements vs. food nutrients - homemade liver supplementNames of common Autoimmune conditionsMost people with autoimmunity need to stay off of gluten foreverResources:- Autoimmunewellness.com- Mickeytrescott.com- Instagram @mickeytrescott and @autoimmunepaleo- Facebook @autoimmunepaleo and Autoimmune Wellness- The Paleo Approach by Dr Sarah Ballantyne, scientifically-backed AIP book on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YwiNu0 (affiliate link)- The Autoimmune Paleo Cookbook (Mickey Trescott) Amazon: https://amzn.to/2Ywjaoo (affiliate link)- Autoimmune Wellness Handbook (Mickey Trescott) Amazon: https://amzn.to/31kLZkt (affiliate link)- The Nutrient Dense Kitchen (Mickey Trescott) Amazon: https://amzn.to/2Kxo5vk (affiliate link)- Learn more about Nutrient-Density in The Foundation of Wellness podcast episodes #31 and #32- Order local and grass-fed pasture-raised meats from - Marisa's loves Seven Sons Farms (regenerative farm collective in the midwest).

This is episode #45 and we're chatting with Melissa Strahan a co-founder of Joovv Red Light Therapy to dive into a very confusing, but totally NOW topic that is infrared saunas and red light therapy. Joovv is taking the wellness space by storm thanks to famous biohacker Ben Greenfield, and even Dr. Sarah Ballantyne who you hear us quote research from quite regularly on our podcast. Dr Ballantyne endorses Joovv and swears by the positive effects it has had on her fibromyalgia pain.Joovv is huge with athletes everywhere ranging from the Olympians and NFL, NBA, UFC athletes, and more. And we think the biggest reason Joovv is gaining immense popularity is because it is extremely customizable and modular and affordable. They have tabletop and back-of-the-door models, they've got it all. AND, Joovv uses a special LED coating that helps you achieve the best results in a shorter amount of time.For professional Inquiries contact - Jessica Dogert, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist: jessdogert@gmail.com; or Marisa Moon, Certified Primal Health Coach: marisa@marisamoon.comDisclaimer: Consult with your doctor, a biological dentist, or functional medicine practitioner before trying any of the remedies or protocols mentioned in this episode. This information and recording is for informational and educational purposes only.Points of Discussion:In 2014 Melissa started light treatment at a spa. Engineer husband Justin, made infrared at home. - Warning “pet shop” red heat lamp bulbs don't workScience:- NASA funded Red light therapy research for astronaut health- Light therapy is all about the wavelengths, and LED allows that specific wavelength to be achieved- Red light is in the mid-600 nanometer range- Near infrared is in mid-800 nanometer range- Therapeutic wavelengths help mitochondria, ATP cellular energy, and anti-aging mechanisms- Joovv combines red light and near infraredJoovv Tips:- Full body treatment or rotate to expose entire body - Joovv is more customizable and affordable compared to other brands, and it allows you to work your way up to a full-body treatment center.Red Light Vs Infrared:- The red color and lack of heat is anti-aging but doesn't penetrate the body as deeply- Near infrared penetrates deeper, helps organs and muscle recovery. - Not targeted results, the body decides what to work on first (seeking homeostasis)Story #1: how infrared Joovv lights helped a family member gain peripheral eyesight What can you expect? - Benefits are instinctual and feel good- Journaling to track changes over time- Relaxation and better sleep, but everyone's different deepening what their body needsWhy Light, Why Now:- Most American's spend 90% of their life indoors- infrared and red light therapy help to counteract blue light (indoor lighting and electronics), & provide more wavelengths like sunlight. (learn about blue light in our podcast episode #22)- Red Light/Infrared primes skin to help sunburn prevention and boost vitamin D - Families like using Joovv for evening lighting at home, circadian rhythm and sleep better.Kids:- Considered safe for children, no studies done on that yet. Ask your pediatrician.- Kids benefit from wearing orange/red/amber glasses (AKA blue-light-blocking glasses) at night when they watch TV or electronics.Safety & Guidelines:- Start out slow, like 3 minutes per day, to avoid abrupt detox symptoms.- 10-minutes per treatment area per day, at a distance of 6 inches or more, try to treat as much of your body as you can- Can replace pre-workout drinks) and after workouts to regenerate and prevent injuriesInteresting rumor: - NFL might have considered banning infrared therapy because it gives players such a performance advantage.Hot Sauna Vs Infrared Light Therapy- Sauna therapy uses heat, getting a cardiovascular response via heat shock proteins in the body.- Sauna is completely different therapy from red light therapy (AKA photobiomodulation) where there is no heat.Story #2: Mother who used Joovv light on her child who has downs syndrome helped him walk after a week.Story #3: friends who use cold red light laser therapy to heal from arthritis in the knee and neck injury from car accident.Facts:- Joovv is FDA approved to be used on humans (others are intended for plants)- Now considering red and near infrared light therapy to act as an anti-fungal in the gut (may help with candida or SIBO in the gut) in the field of medicine.Melissa's results & final tips:- Melissa's eczema is gone and never came back, no stress-induced flareups. She thanks Joovv and primal living principles like *grounding*.- As a mother of 6, light therapy helps her to look young in her late 30's. She suggests taking photos once a month to track your improvements.Resources: Joovv.com Check out Joovv's learning section to continue the education or start a live chat with a representative and ask questions.

This is episode 44. We sat down with Chris Husong to talk about CBD at the paleo f(x) conference in Austin TX. He's the VP of marketing and communications at Elixinol - a colorado based company committed to extracting & providing the highest quality CBD Hemp products in the world.Try Elixinol with this 10% off code: “first10” at https://elixinol.com/For those of you thinking What the heck even is CBD? here's a brief overview: Cannabidiol (CBD) is a plant compound derived from hemp that regulates our body's endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS helps regulate important actions in the immune system, nervous system and all of the body's organs - it's literally the bridge between your body and mind that maintains your overall wellbeing. Once CBD enters our body, it attaches to ECS receptors in the brain, organs, and immune cells to quickly begin regulating the body's optimal balance. When the mind and body is in this state of homeostasis, stress and anxiety levels lower, sleep improves, and pain + inflammation is reduced.In this episode we go into even greater explanation of what CBD is, why it's so beneficial for us, as well as proper daily dosage and the different delivery methods. We also chat about drug testing, what to look for when purchasing CBD products [full spectrum vs isolate, mg of CBD] and our personal experiences using CBD. Wait. Is CBD legal in the US?

We were first introduced to his brand back in 2015 at the Bulletproof conference in Pasadena CA with the Hi Vibe Superfood Juicery tribe, and have been obsessed with Alitura ever since.Fun fact: “Alitura” is Latin for “feeding and nourishing.”  Their mission: “To provide customers with an exciting healthy experience from superior ingredients in a fine selection of high quality skin care products.” They were recently named 2018 Dirty Thinkers Choice Awards for 3 of their products: Clay Mask, Gold Serum and Moisturizer.Andy was in a horrific accident back in 2011 when he was struck by a vehicle while he was standing near the road, and this led to a compound fracture in his jaw which was broken in five places. You should all know Andy was someone who made a living based on appearance - he's an actor, model, athlete. He recognized that he had the power to choose, as we all do when faced with stressful events, and he was determined to bounce back even stronger. That's when Alitura Natural's was born. In this episode Andy shares what the trendy term clean beauty is, why we should care and how we can take action to finding the best skincare products that'll heal our skin from things like rosacea, acne, scars, fine lines and wrinkles.For professional Inquiries contact - Jessica Dogert, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist: jessdogert@gmail.com; or Marisa Moon, Certified Primal Health Coach: marisa@marisamoon.comDisclaimer: This information and recording is for informational and educational purposes only.Points of Discussion: Andy's Accident that inspired him to start Alitura NaturalsThe idea behind what we go through are blessings in disguiseClean beauty - what is it?
