If you've been nodding along with the wellness movement but still aren't sure how to take your first real step—this episode is your warm welcome in.   People everywhere are waking up to a simple truth: real health doesn't come from pills, shakes, or short-term programs. Most of us have tried them—spent the money, followed the plans—only to end up frustrated or right back where we started. The missing piece? A strong foundation. And the good news is, it's not complicated—just a few practical, common-sense shifts can spark real, lasting change.   Join Jamie Belz, host of the Nutritional Therapy & Wellness Podcast, and Mike Belz, CEO of the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA), as they break down the Foundations of Wellness into common-sense, doable action steps for anyone just beginning their health journey.   This episode is packed with real talk, science-backed wisdom, and practical tips to help you pick your own adventure in a doable way. No more "all or nothing" attempts. Start over for the last time with one or a few of the easy but effective action steps you can incorporate today. If you're ready to stop feeling overwhelmed and finally start your wellness journey, this episode breaks it down into six simple, sustainable categories—what we call the Foundations of Wellness. You'll learn how to:   Eat a nutrient-dense diet rooted in real, whole foods (not calorie math), following Weston A. Price principles and honoring your bio-individual needs. Optimize digestion, the root of all health, by chewing thoroughly, practicing mindful eating, and supporting stomach acid and enzyme function (see Episode 11 for more). Balance blood sugar with small, daily habits like walking after meals and pairing carbs with protein and fat (see Episode 28). Improve sleep through calming evening routines, avoiding stimulants before bed, and aligning with your circadian rhythm. Reduce stress with tools like the 4-7-8 breath, gratitude practices, and brain dumping— (see Episode 42). Incorporate movement you actually enjoy—walking, dancing, or strength training—while supporting lymph flow, bone density, and energy.   You'll also hear real-life strategies like Mike's “gas station rule,” how to track wins without perfectionism, and why home-cooked meals and community support are game changers. Most importantly, we'll help you find your why—the motivation that keeps you going when things get hard.   Whether you're trying to lose weight, heal your gut, regain energy, or just understand what “healthy” actually means, this episode gives you a practical, welcoming place to begin.   Podcast Episodes Mentioned ⁠Episode 4⁠ – Bio-Individuality ⁠Episode 11⁠ – Digestive Hell with Gray Graham ⁠Episode 28⁠ – Blood Sugar 101 ⁠Episode 31⁠ – The Cold Turkey Episode ⁠Episode 42⁠ – Cultivating Joy   Find a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) ⁠NTA Practitioner Directory⁠     Please hit SUBSCRIBE, leave a 5-Star Review, and connect with us on Spotify comments!

You must check out this fascinating and illuminating conversation with Rohini Walker, British-Indian writer and devoted practitioner of soul-body liberation. Rohini moved to the desert of Joshua Tree, California with her husband from London, England in 2013 and began a creative journey of writing, mentoring, and consulting. Rohini co-founded the arts and cultural print periodical Luna Arcana, with Martin Mancha (Ted's cousin) Ted was inspired to have Rohini as a guest because of her article titled “Committing to Digestion in the Information Age.” In this article from her newsletter Letters from Luna, Rohini discusses the over-consumption of information that has become addictive and normalized. Like going from one all-you-can-eat buffet to another without allowing anything to digest, this incessant consumption of news and social media keeps us distracted, anxious, and uncomfortable in our bodies with “hot heads and cold bellies.” Drawing from Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine and other indigenous wisdom traditions, Rohini shares how she works with her clients to have greater connection with one's body as well as to the natural world, allowing us to cultivate “Cool heads and warm bellies”.  This episode is guaranteed to give you some things to think about.

In this week's episode Natalie is joined by registered Menopause Nutritionist & Author Emma Bardwell to talk all about her brand new book The 30g Plan and how our nutritional needs change as we head towards mid life. From slower digestion to decreasing muscle mass Emma unpacks the varying transitions our bodies face as we enter perimenopause and menopause and how our diet can have a significant impact on the intensity of symptoms. Emma details the need for more protein and fibre as we age and notes how her own experience with entering perimenopause and the concerns her patients expressed inspired her to create her brand new book The 30g Plan. Explaining that, in an age of misinformation and click bait she felt women entering midlife needed a resource that was scientifically backed whilst being easy to follow when it came to understanding their nutritional needs. During the conversation Emma also notes how our hormonal changes impact digestion and how it is vital that we pay attention to this often taboo area of our health in order to maintain optimum wellbeing as we begin to experience perimenopause, highlighting that many women can suffer with bloating and other uncomfortable symptoms that lead to lack of confidence and decreased vitality. In a highly informative part of the chat Emma gives her verdict on the use of supplements to boost overall wellness alongside helpful advice on getting the best nutrition on a budget.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers and Steve Wright explain why many people stay inflamed even after removing toxins and eating clean. The real issue isn't exposure—it's lost immune tolerance, and the solution is rebuilding resilience.   You'll learn about the five gut defense layers that regulate your immune system. Fixing oxygen balance, mucus layers, and gut cell mitochondria is key to restoring proper function.   They also cover how para-probiotics—dead bacteria—can retrain an overactive immune response. If you're sensitive to foods, histamines, or your environment, this episode lays out what to do next.   In This Episode: 00:00 Introduction to Early Childhood Exposure and Health Benefits 02:59 Interview with Steve Wright: Retraining a Broken Gut Immune System 05:26 Understanding the Immune System and Its Connection to the Gut 08:02 Challenges in Modern Health and the Importance of Gut Resilience 10:50 The Role of the Gut in Immune Function and Balance 23:04 Layers of the Gut and Their Functions 26:36 Mitochondria and Gut Health 27:59 Impact of Antibiotics on Gut Microbiome 28:47 The Role of Stomach Acid in Digestion 31:51 Resetting Gut Health 33:27 Individualized Diets and Food Tolerance 36:44 Repairing Gut Health: Steps and Supplements 40:32 Para Probiotics: An Overview 44:51 Healthy Gut Products and Protocols 48:46 Final Thoughts and Recommendations     Still cooking with seed oils?

We often think of gut health as a matter of diet. What we eat, how we digest, and how we eliminate. But what if your digestive issues, bloating, or IBS symptoms aren't just physical? What if your gut is holding onto unprocessed emotional trauma, stress, and nervous system dysregulation? In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we're joined by Christy Nault, a root cause health practitioner and founder of Hormone Glow Up and Microflow Healing. Christy sits down with Elisabeth and Jennifer for a powerful conversation about the connection between trauma and gut health, and how healing begins not with food, but with safety in the nervous system. Together, we explore how chronic stress, childhood trauma, and perfectionism deplete our minerals, disrupt digestion, and throw off our hormones, metabolism, and mental health. Christy shares her own story of living with POTS, IBS, endometriosis, and mass cell activation syndrome, and how her recovery began through parasite cleansing, circadian rhythm regulation, and somatic healing. This episode isn't about a one-size-fits-all gut protocol. It's about understanding the gut-brain connection, why your symptoms may keep returning, and how nervous system regulation, emotional integration, and personalized healing can restore your health from the inside out. If you've struggled with leaky gut, autoimmune symptoms, histamine intolerance, or protocols that didn't work, this conversation offers a grounded, compassionate path forward. Topics discussed in this episode: ● The gut as an emotional and sensory organ ● How chronic stress depletes minerals and slows digestion ● Parasite cleansing and root-cause gut healing ● Why top-down protocols often fail without nervous system regulation ● The impact of childhood trauma on long-term health ● Gut-brain axis, emotional suppression, and vagal tone ● Circadian rhythms, blue light, and hormonal regulation ● Emotional digestion vs. food digestion ● Somatic tools for safe and effective healing ● Why small daily shifts create the deepest change Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching program: neurosomatic.com/leadership   Learn more about Christy Nault's work at: Website: christynault.com Instagram: instagram.com/itschristynault Learn more about the Neuro-Somatic Intelligence Coaching program and sign up for the fall cohort now: neurosomaticintelligence.com Get started training your nervous system with our FREE 2-week offer on the Brain Based Membership site: rewiretrial.com Find Trauma Rewired on YouTube: YouTube.com/@TraumaRewired Connect with us on social media: @trauma.rewired Join the Trauma Rewired Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/761101225132846 FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use our exclusive offer: drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

Eating clean but still feeling off? In this episode, Nurse Doza breaks down how a bad diet can still sneak into your routine—even when it looks “healthy.” Learn the hidden signs your body is reacting to the wrong foods and how to course-correct using simple, powerful strategies. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Not all “healthy” foods are healthy for you—bio-individuality matters. Bloating, fatigue, and brain fog may be signs of food sensitivities. Bad diet patterns can persist even on whole food diets. Gut symptoms often point to deeper imbalances in the liver and gallbladder. You can reset your digestion by supporting detox pathways and microbiome health. FEATURED PRODUCT Good Poops Protocol – A targeted gut, liver, and gallbladder support bundle. As discussed in this episode, symptoms of a bad diet often trace back to poor digestion and sluggish detox.

Your body is always giving you signals – and after 40, those digestive whispers often become impossible to ignore. If you've been wondering why your gut feels different than it did in your 30s, or if you're tired of being told that bloating, irregular digestion, and energy crashes are just "part of getting older," this episode is for you. I'm sharing my own journey with digestive challenges alongside the clinical insights I've gained working with hundreds of women navigating this exact phase of life. Because here's what I know to be true: this is not your new normal. In this conversation, we're going beyond surface-level solutions to explore the root causes of why digestion shifts after 40, how hormonal changes create a ripple effect throughout your entire system, and most importantly – what you can actually do about it. What we'll explore together: The Power of Decision and Action (02:21) Why the moment you decide to partner with your body instead of fighting against it changes everything Building Resilience Through Challenges (03:25) How our digestive struggles can become our greatest teachers when we approach them with curiosity instead of frustration A Journey with Digestive Issues (05:59) My personal story of navigating gut health challenges and what I learned about listening to my body's signals The Role of Nutrition in Overcoming Health Issues (07:48) Quality over quick fixes – why sustainable nutrition approaches create lasting digestive healing The Disconnect in Conventional Medicine (12:31) Why traditional approaches often miss the interconnected nature of digestive health and what to look for instead Understanding Hormonal and Gut Health (34:54) It's all connected – how your changing hormones after 40 directly impact your digestive function and what this means for your daily experience Introducing Advanced Testing: GI MAP and Dutch Tests (43:29) Empowered by knowledge – how comprehensive testing can reveal the root causes behind your symptoms and guide personalized solutions This isn't about perfection or following someone else's protocol. It's about understanding your unique body, honoring where you are right now, and taking impeccable care of yourself through informed, compassionate choices. Your digestive health is the foundation for everything else – your energy, your mood, your ability to show up fully in your life. You deserve to feel empowered by food, not controlled by digestive uncertainty. Ready to dive deeper?

This week on the podcast, I sat down with gut health dietitian Megan from Grounded Nourishment to unpack this wildly overlooked connection between your nervous system, digestion, and hormones. Because if you're on the path to period recovery or trying to get pregnant naturally—healing your gut and regulating your stress response isn't optional. It's essential. Here's what we got into:

What if improving your gut health didn't require expensive supplements, fancy tests, or endless trial and error? In today's episode, we dive into the often-overlooked lifestyle foundations that can significantly improve digestion, reduce bloating, and help you finally feel good after meals without needing a single lab result. We start with meal hygiene: how you eat is just as important as what you eat. Digestion begins in the brain, and simple changes like slowing down, turning off distractions, and chewing thoroughly can kickstart your gut's natural processes. You'll learn how stress and multitasking at meals divert blood flow away from the gut and how to set the stage for digestion by being present, cooking your own food, and even doing a quick breathing exercise. Next, we cover meal timing, and how aligning your eating habits with your body's natural rhythms can support the "housekeeping" system of your gut. You'll learn how a consistent eating schedule and small shifts like starting your day with warm lemon water can make a big impact. We also tackle what to eat specifically for constipation and diarrhea. From fiber types and fluid intake to soothing herbal teas and smart food swaps, you'll walk away with real strategies that work. Plus, we share our go-to cheat sheets for stool consistency and explain when it is time to use supplements or run labs. Even if supplements become part of your long-term plan (like they are for some of our clients), these lifestyle shifts are the groundwork for sustainable gut health.  Listen in and take the first step toward better digestion naturally.  Time Stamps: (3:32) GI Issue Call Recently (6:56) The Three Big Pillars of Gut Health (7:19) How You Eat and Meal Hygiene (13:47) Duration of Eating and Slowing Down (16:52) Drinking Too Much Water During Meals? (18:02) Deep Breaths Before Eating (18:57) Lowering The Intensity of Exercise (20:03) Meal Timing (22:24) My Preferred Tea Blend (24:57) What To Eat (26:40) Working Through Constipation (31:06) One Supplement We'll Discuss (37:57) Reach Out If You're Interested In Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Our healthcare system treats us like it's one size fits all, yet that's not how true healing works, especially when it comes to chronic conditions. Today's guest will help us understand how to fill the gap we experience with Western medicine, including the difference between signs vs. symptoms, and empowers our individualized healthcare. On this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck welcomes Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator Andrea Nakayama to explore why chronic conditions require more than just a diagnosis and a prescription. They unpack Andrea's “three roots, many branches” model, revealing how digestion, inflammation, and genetics lie at the heart of chronic illness—and how nurturing the "soil" around them can lead to true healing. From nutrition habits to the importance of bio-individuality, this conversation empowers you to become an informed partner in your health care.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE:(00:00) Intro: Our healthcare system is one size fits all(05:08) Andrea shares her motivation for her journey into functional nutrition, and a discussion of Western medicine(07:41) Should every person receive the same treatment for the same chronic condition(11:45) How to choose a guide in the health equation(16:40) Knowing the difference between your signs vs. symptoms(21:59) Andrea walks us through the “three roots and many branches” model(28:36) The roles digestion and inflammation play in our health(33:37) Tiers to nutrition mastery. Tier one is our non-negotiables(36:40) Don't neglect your passion and purpose(38:48) Andrea's non-negotiable trifecta: Sleep, poop, and blood sugarKEY TAKEAWAYS:Chronic health conditions must be understood through a systems-based lens, not just symptom management. Every chronic issue has three core roots—genes, digestion, and inflammation. Healing begins by nurturing these “roots” and the surrounding “soil,” rather than chasing individual symptoms alone. Western medicine excels in acute care but often falls short in managing chronic conditions. Patients are frequently seen through the lens of their diagnosis rather than as whole individuals, resulting in treatments that overlook their unique health histories and personal needs.One of the most powerful tools patients can use is specific, emotion-free communication based on personal health tracking. By clearly distinguishing between signs (measurable indicators like fever or rash) and symptoms (subjective experiences like fatigue or pain) and offering detailed timelines of when and how issues arise, patients empower providers to better understand and address their unique health needs.Supporting foundational health can start with three simple, non-negotiable nutrition habits: include fat, fiber, and protein at every meal or snack to help stabilize blood sugar; eat the rainbow to boost fiber and phytonutrient intake while feeding your microbiome; and know your yes-no-maybe list to understand better how specific foods impact your body. Tracking what makes you feel great, what doesn't, and what you're unsure about builds awareness and equips you to have more productive, personalized conversations with your healthcare provider.QUOTES:         (07:41) “The first two gaps I encountered were that people are treated like their diagnosis. So, when you are in the medical system, you are your endometriosis, your fibroids, your breast cancer, your PMS. You are your symptom. The other gap was that everybody with the same symptom or diagnosis was treated the same.” - Andrea Nakayama(09:34) “A chronic condition means you're sick and you're not getting better. There's things going on for a long time, and our medical system isn't trained to address chronic conditions.” Andrea Nakayama(25:32) “The three roots of any chronic condition are always our genes, digestion and inflammation.  All three need to be tended to for the branches to express themselves more fully.” - Andrea Nakayama(36:53) “We have an episode called the Longevity Equation, and one about Blue Zones and one of the big factors there that everybody seems to overlook is community and connection.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramNutrition Nugget: Genes and EpigeneticsSalad With a Side of Fries: The Longevity EquationSalad With a Side of Fries: Blue Zones: A Blueprint for Physical and Mental HealthSalad With a Side of Fries: The Down and DirtyGUEST RESOURCES:Andrea Nakayama - WebsiteFunctional Nutrition Alliance  - WebsiteAndrea Nakayama - InstagramFunctional Nutrition Alliance - YouTubeAndrea Nakayama - PinterestAndrea Nakayama, Functional Nutritionist & EducatorAndrea Nakayama - Functional Nutrition Alliance | LinkedInGUEST BIOGRAPHY:Andrea is a Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator who has led thousands of clients and teaches even more coaches and clinicians worldwide.

Story at-a-glance Ghost poops — bowel movements that leave no residue when wiping and sink in the toilet — are indicators of excellent gut health and proper digestion, showing your body is efficiently processing nutrients Many digestive issues that prevent ghost poops stem from poor diet, stress, dehydration or insufficient physical activity, all of which disrupt your gut microbiome Contrary to popular belief, healing your gut often requires increasing digestible carbohydrates (200 to 350 grams daily) rather than focusing on fiber-heavy foods that might worsen symptoms in an unhealthy gut Proper toilet posture significantly impacts elimination — using a footstool or leaning forward opens your colon for more complete evacuation Floating or sticky stools signal issues with fat absorption or gut inflammation, while regular ghost poops indicate your digestive system is functioning optimally

In this episode of Better Than Before Breast Cancer™, we're talking about a common and little-talked-about side effect of breast cancer treatment and day-to-day living: digestive changes. If you've experienced bloating, reflux, fatigue, or that uncomfortable feeling of fullness after eating, this episode is for you. You'll learn why hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid) is often misdiagnosed as high stomach acid, how breast cancer treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and hormonal therapy contribute to poor digestion, and why treating symptoms with acid-blocking medications might be doing more harm than good. Most importantly, we'll cover simple, nurturing steps — like mindful eating habits and nutrient support — to help you feel better, absorb more nutrients, and reconnect with your body's healing capacity.  

Brain fog, cravings, bloating, anxiety, and even stubborn weight gain may all trace back to one powerful system: your gut-brain connection. In this episode, I'm breaking down how your gut and brain communicate—and how that impacts your hormones, mood, and metabolism during perimenopause. We'll talk about the science behind the gut-brain axis (in a way that actually makes sense), the signs your gut may be out of balance, and simple, no-BS strategies to support your digestion and start feeling like yourself again. If your energy, focus, or mood has been all over the place lately—this one's a must-listen.

In this rich and revealing episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz welcomes the legendary Sally Fallon Morell, author of Nourishing Traditions and founding president of the Weston A. Price Foundation, for an eye-opening conversation that blends ancestral nutrition, holistic health, and spiritual alignment in today's toxic food and medical culture. Together, they unpack the roots of nutritional wisdom, challenge mainstream health narratives, and dive into controversial yet essential topics including raw milk, vaccine injury, the decline of small family farms, and why butter (not margarine) belongs on your plate. Sally also shares the spiritual significance of honoring the body as a temple, discusses the dietary crisis facing modern society, and offers practical advice to reclaim your family's health.   Critical topics include: • The difference between raw milk vs. pasteurized milk and the science behind why raw milk supports digestion, immunity, and childhood development • The impact of vaccines on child health, including SIDS, chronic illness, and Sally's perspective on medical freedom • The decline of small family farms and why local, regenerative agriculture must be preserved • Why traditional animal fats like butter, liver, and fish eggs are essential for hormonal health, fertility, and brain development • How processed foods, protein powders, and synthetic vitamins are silently damaging our population • Sally's perspective on the spiritual roots of nourishment, including Biblical insights into food, the sacredness of the body, and how nutrition aligns with God's design • The legacy of Dr. Weston A. Price and the principles behind his research on indigenous diets and generational health • Practical tips to start your real food journey, like the one-minute fix that could radically improve your family's health: making your own salad dressing   Jamie also opens up about her personal transformation from following mainstream health advice to finding healing through the Nutritional Therapy Association and Weston A. Price teachings—especially after a vaccine injury in her own family. The episode ends with a bold, hope-filled vision for the future of food, faith, and functional nutrition, including Sally's call for churches to reawaken to the importance of the body as the temple of the Holy Spirit.   Whether you're an NTP, parent, homesteader, church leader, or just someone seeking truth in a world of health confusion, this episode will inspire and empower you to live nourished, informed, and aligned—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.   Resources Mentioned: • Weston A.

Our favorite biochemist, Karen Hurd, joins us again to discuss the difference between adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline gives us strength to fight or run, while cortisol reduces inflammation. These hormones are released simultaneously. We are meant to experience short bursts of adrenaline and cortisol in emergency situations, not prolonged baths in them all day every day while we sit at a desk, immobile. Luis and Karen discuss estrogen production after menopause, exercise and chronic pain, high testosterone in female bodies, and estrogen in male bodies. Stress is an endocrine disorder. If your diet is nourishing and balanced, but you are still stressed, consider your lifestyle, purpose and perception. Something has to shift when the mentality isn't connecting to biology in a way that is balanced.You can read more about Karen's work, and register for her courses, here: https://karen-r.mylearnworlds.com/pages/home[Ep. 256] How Stress Affects Your Hormones, Digestion, & What To Eat About It w/ Karen Hurd[Ep. 218] The Biology Of Your Emotions & How Food Helps w/ Karen Hurd[Ep. 8] Healing Your Body With Beans | Karen Hurd[Bonus Episode] The Sugar-To-Adrenaline PipelineYou can read more about, and register for, the Sugar-To-Adrenaline Sequence webinar here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/events/the-sugar-to-adrenaline-pipeline-webinar To read more about, and register for, the 2025 Menla retreat, click here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/menla-retreat----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/ Learn more about the self-led course here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/self-led-new Join the waitlist to pre-order Luis' book here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-book You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?
