The Truth About Food Nobody Told You with Matt Beaudin | with Lyndsay Dowd   Some chefs chase fame. Matt Beaudin chased truth. From riverbank fires in Vietnam to volcanic soil in Rwanda, he learned from people whose kitchens often had no walls—only stories, culture, and purpose. Today, he shares that journey with us. In this cinematic and eye-opening episode, we sit down with Chef Matt Beaudin, a world-class culinary leader whose career has been built not in glossy kitchens—but in the kitchens of villagers, fishermen, farmers, and cultures most chefs have only read about. Matt's journey has taken him from the volcanic slopes of Rwanda to riverbank fires in Vietnam, from hidden markets in Hong Kong to back-porch grills in the Caribbean and small island kitchens in Barbuda. He didn't travel to collect stories—he traveled to earn them. Today, Matt is a leading voice in sustainability and conservation, using food as a platform for purpose. In this conversation, he shares how consumer choices shape global supply chains, why real sustainability requires truth—not marketing—and how partnering with the right suppliers can uplift communities and protect the environment. We also dive into his journey from barely graduating high school in a small New Hampshire town to attending the Culinary Institute of America, often called the "Harvard of cooking schools," and becoming a globally respected culinary storyteller. If you care about food, culture, leadership, conservation, or making an impact, this is a must-listen.

In this transformative episode, Lyndsay Dowd sits down with Dr. Iris Crawford, the world's leading authority on the Pre-Hormone System and one of the most trusted voices in women's hormonal health. Known as The Hormone Boss, Dr. Crawford reveals the truth about menopause, perimenopause, burnout, fatigue, and why conventional medicine is still operating from outdated hormonal science. Dr. Crawford opens up about her journey from growing up in poverty to becoming a nationally recognized naturopathic physician dedicated to empowering women with real answers. She explains why most women enter menopause already hormonally imbalanced—and why a "just do HRT" approach is not only incomplete but can be ineffective or harmful. This episode breaks down the stress response system, the pre-hormone system, and why accurate hormone ratio testing is the missing key to helping women reclaim their energy, mood, and mental clarity. Dr. Crawford outlines her proven six-month protocol, designed to repair hormone production at the root. Whether you're navigating hormonal changes, burnout, or searching for answers your doctor can't explain, this episode will leave you informed, empowered, and hopeful.

She shares her lifelong struggle with weight despite being sporty and active in her early years. Significant weight gain occurred during a high school exchange in Japan, leading to an ongoing battle with maintaining a healthy weight, exacerbated by knee injuries and surgeries. Joanne explored a few diets, including calorie counting and hypnotherapy, with little success. Her breakthrough came in August 2022, when she discovered intermittent fasting through Gin's book, Delay, Don't Deny, leading to a steady and sustainable weight loss journey. Joanne highlights the psychological and physical benefits she experienced, including improved emotional balance, stronger physical fitness, and the ability to enjoy activities like stick fighting and yoga. Her story also touches on family support and how intermittent fasting has fit seamlessly into her lifestyle. Joanne's advice for newcomers to intermittent fasting is to approach the journey with self-love and patience. It is essential to adopt intermittent fasting for oneself and not others, finding a supportive community can be invaluable. While the weight may not fall off quickly, the non-scale victories and improved well-being are worth the effort. Be kind to yourself, give it time, and remember that persistence is key.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html. Good news!
