Nadine N. Bone lives, loves, and works in Paris, France. She is a "by-referral-only" web designer & "by-application-only" brand consultant who facilitates the breakthroughs her clients need to create the visuals that represent their brand. Most of these clients want to show up as leaders and thought leaders in their community. They come to Nadine because their web designer is about to fire them! Here's what we covered on the episode: How I knew who Nadine was because she worked with Rachel Luna, and how I've been a fan of Nadine's work since we connected back in 2012 Nadine talks about how male dominated the design field was when she first started in 2011 and how it was all about databases, WordPress, code and the back end of things, so she wanted to bring a more feminine side to what they were already doing and add visuals When Nadine decided she wanted to make a statement and help improve people's lives with design she turned to technology and shares there were a few courses you could take at the time to help you level up your design skills and that's when she started integrating that expertise into her practice Because Nadine does a wide variety of services in her business, she says it's important to think about a website as a product that makes your business tangible on something that is intangible, which is the internet How people are going to decide in a split second whether or not they like something, so the design needs to be more about storytelling than just fonts and colors When Nadine designs a website and starts off with the HTML, code or core parts of the website she likes to add the storytelling layer with the strategy, thinking about why people are on the website, where are they going next, etc. to help build a foundation where they keep coming back Nadine shares that when she first got started, Rachel Luna was the first person who gave her a shot; Nadine saw that she was launching a book and asked to get together because she had some ideas for it and talks about how she was able to help Rachel reach her goals After helping Rachel with her book, Nadine was on other's radar who wanted the same experience for themselves and in their business How Rachel introduced Nadine to a lot of influential people and how she ended up working with a 6 figure entrepreneurs and most recently worked with Miss Universe 2019 Nadine knows no two clients are the same, so when getting to know them she has her clients share why they do what they do, what their next challenge is, etc. and if there is consistency between what they are saying and what they are capable of doing, it's probably a good fit When working with a client, Nadine says it's your responsibility to help them decipher their priorities because sometimes as entrepreneurs we tend to take on more than we can handle Nadine shares that she always does custom proposals for clients because each project is different and because she takes clients by application only, so it's a lot of returning clients and clients that come from referrals Because Nadine does the design, development, SEO, etc. she likes to really understand her clients so she can personalize every single item on the list for them Why it never worked for Nadine to charge for calls before the proposal is because she likes to build a rapport and have a free-flowing conversation to see if they would make a good fit for each other first Nadine explains that our biggest strength as entrepreneurs is that we can fire our clients, that's why it's important we are clear on boundaries, how fast response times are and to ask them what their experience was like working with other designers so we can get a better understanding Because Nadine is more established, she likes to take time with her calls and shares she does close to an hour for sales calls because she treats them like an easy coffee conversation, where they can get to know each other Even though Nadine has a relaxed approach, she still pays attention to red flags that can come from bad attitudes, or from someone talking negatively about people they worked with on a recent project To keep things on track during a call, Nadine likes to have the clients assets available, like their website or brochures so she can go through a critique with them Nadine gives an example of a critique she did for her current clients, who are in real estate and says their brochure was using stock images of homes, so she suggested adding a more human dimension to the brochures, which they loved How Nadine used to take on up to 12 clients at a time, doing a wide range of projects but has since scaled down to taking on 2 or 3 because she just got engaged and is starting to plan the wedding When you first start as an entrepreneur or creative Nadine says the number of clients is important, but when you're more established having seasoned clients is more important and shares that she works with clients anywhere from 2 months to 3 years, depending on what they need Nadine explains that the creative process is not linear and that people get inspired in different ways — she gets inspired by music, TV shows, video games To stay current on what's going on Nadine shares that she's subscribed to the bigger websites like, Fast Company, and award design blogs Nadine wants to remind people that even though we are in a world crisis, it's important to stay in touch with your why and ask yourself the same questions you ask your clients — why did you start this business, why do you keep taking on challenges, etc. How as designers we think that the only important work we do is going to happen during our peak years but Nadine reminds us that we are creating something beyond that, we are building a legacy Nadine designed a eulogy exercise as a way to be more appreciative of everything you've accomplished and everything you've survived and shares that sometimes we get so caught up in moving forward in life and business that we forget about the kind of mark we want to make and leave behind How during these times it's especially important to sit down and think clearly about the difference you are trying to make in the world Connect with Nadine on nadinenbone.com, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest — email her and reach out to say hello   Links mentioned: Nadine's Website Fast Company Connect with Nadine on Facebook  Connect with Nadine on Instagram Connect with Nadine on Pinterest   Like what you heard?

Standard practices in healthcare are constantly evolving as we learn more about our bodies. It’s shocking to think back on the history of common treatments. Through the 19th century, leeches were a typical medical treatment, and less than 100 years ago, lobotomies were standard practice.  When we know better, we can do better. Emerging studies shape the way we care for our bodies, but now more than ever, we’re realizing our bodies’ systems are much more interconnected than we originally thought. It’s easy to compartmentalize different body parts and systems, but humans are holistic beings. Everything from your nervous system to your cardiovascular system and even your teeth are connected. Today’s guest, Nadine Artemis, is one of the top experts in the world on holistic dental care. She’s here to share some of her best tips for cultivating healthy teeth and gums. You’ll learn about how cavities are created (and reversed!), how to choose your oral care products, and how to become the expert on your own dental care. Enjoy!  In this episode you’ll discover: How Nadine became interested in creating clean beauty products. The process in which essential oils are created. What the dentinal lymph system is. Why a tooth is similar to a tree in structure. How cavities are actually formed. Food that discolor the teeth. The dangers of teeth bleaching, and how to naturally whiten your teeth. What leaky gums are. The potential downsides of using conventional toothpaste. Which essential oils are beneficial for oral care. How the mouth’s microbiome works.  Natural treatments to eradicate bad breath. The benefits of tongue scraping. How gum disease and heart disease are related.  The dangers of amalgam dental filings.  Why a cavity is like an infection (and how it can heal!) How to choose the right toothbrush, and how to brush for gum health. Items mentioned in this episode include: Organifi.com/Model ⇐ Use the coupon code model for 20% off!

People are suffering. From a feeling of hopelessness. From depression and anxiety. Add to that a despair that no one supports them, and you have a desperate individual at an increased risk of committing suicide. This topic hits close to home for Nadine, as she lost a nephew to suicide in 2007. Ian struggled with addiction issues, and he took his life at the age of 19. Because her family is predisposed to celiac disease, Nadine wonders if undiagnosed celiac disease may have been partially to blame for her nephew’s issues. Today she explores the mental health disorders that are associated with gluten getting through the blood-brain barrier. She also explains how undiagnosed celiac disease puts patients at an increased risk for morbidity, and stresses the fact that celiac disease can—and will—kill you if it goes untreated. Listen in as the Gluten Free RN tells her own story of improved mental health on a gluten-free diet. She also covers the types of cancers that might be prevented by going gluten-free, the connection between AFib and celiac disease, and how dermatitis herpetiformis affects patients. Listen and learn the best diet to help you get better, faster, and why medical professionals need to pay more attention to the intestines! What’s Discussed:  How to define morbidity and mortality Morbidity = sickness Mortality = death People with undiagnosed celiac disease have increased risk for morbidity How morbidity presents itself in undiagnosed celiac patients Chronic anemia Fatigue Osteoporosis Failure to thrive, grow Infertility Thyroid issues Autoimmune disorders Type 1 diabetes Lupus MS Sjögren’s Information from the World Health Organization (WHO) Diarrheal diseases are #1 killer of children Only funded one celiac study 1:19 rate in pediatric patients of Sahrawi descent The prominent mental health issues associated

When boys are hurt, we tell them to ‘rub some dirt on it’ and get back in the game. So it comes as no surprise that men have a tough time admitting weakness, especially to something as innocuous as a slice of bread. Perhaps this explains why celiac disease is considered a women’s issue, when in reality the male-to-female ratio is closer to 1:1. Today the Gluten Free RN discusses the large numbers of men in the US who go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, sharing several anecdotes of patients whose symptoms resolved on a gluten-free diet. She covers the particular social challenges for men with celiac disease, the laundry list of symptoms men may encounter, and the specifics of nutrition she recommends for gluten-sensitive patients. Through it may be difficult to give up pizza and beer with the guys, it is worth the effort to go from sick and struggling to happy and healthy. Listen in and learn how to make going gluten-free simple and easy, even for men with limited culinary skills. Add bacon fat to your greens AND regain your abs with advice from the Gluten Free RN!

We typically associate liver disease with alcoholism. But the liver functions as a filter, and over time it can be damaged by certain pharmaceuticals and even food. In fact, research suggests a strong correlation between undiagnosed celiac disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The Gluten Free RN shares a number of case studies in which a diet change reversed liver damage and prevented the need for an organ transplant. She also takes us through the alarming statistics regarding NASH in children and discusses her approach to treating NASH patients.  Listen to understand the obesity trends in the US and how a sedentary lifestyle plays a part in liver disease. Join Nadine’s campaign to educate the population about the benefits of a gluten- and dairy-free, whole food diet – and prevent NASH! What’s Discussed:  Nadine’s introduction to NASH in children Videoconference of pediatricians Discovered NASH on autopsies Few had signs/symptoms The fundamentals of NASH Liver failure caused by changing environmental factors Dietary culprits (e.g.: sodas, fast food, processed foods, alcohol, high fructose corn syrup, nutrient-deficient carbs) Up to 90% of patients undergoing bariatric surgery have fatty liver disease Only diagnostic tool is liver biopsy Obesity trends in the United States 60% of people in 13 states will be obese by 2030 Link between poverty and obesity Why starving people are obese Lack of nutrient-dense food results in low nutrient levels Body compensates for deficiencies by storing fat as cheap energy The correlation between undiagnosed celiac disease and NASH Celiac disease found in 10% of patients with unexplained abnormal liver panels and 3.5% of patients with NASH Anyone with bump in liver enzymes should be screened for celiac disease and given gluten-free diet option The 2015 Canadian study re: liver transplant NASH as most common indication for liver transplant in North America NASH projected to be leading cause by 2025 Identified obesity, sedentary lifestyle, highly processed foods, undiagnosed celiac disease, MS and type 2 diabetes as causes The basics of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFL) Buildup of fat in liver cells Largely asymptomatic until have profound liver/organ failure Which populations are at increased risk for NASH Obese Hispanic Native American Pediatric Liver transplant statistics 16,000 people on waiting list for liver transplant Only 6,000 liver transplants performed each year Case study demonstrating the reversal of liver damage on gluten-free diet 19-year-old woman referred for emergency liver transplantation Recovered quickly on gluten-free diet, normal liver and small intestines after 20 months No surgery required The correlation between celiac disease and liver disease Celiac patients at increased risk of NAFLD compared to general population Most common cause of chronic liver disease in children and adolescents in western nations How Nadine approaches a patient with NASH Examine diet (food as medicine/poison) Replace highly processed fats Leverage minimally processed foods How to combat obesity Educate people about the value of nutrient-dense food Provide medical and social support The liver as a detoxing organ Functions as a filter Can be damaged over time by foods, acetaminophen, alcohol What a good, whole food diet looks like Gluten- and dairy-free (ideally Paleo) Includes meat and fish, nuts and seeds, organic fruits and vegetables The need for access to accurate nutritional information Not influenced by politics, food corporations, agribusiness or pharmaceutical companies Resources: PubMed “Sonographic Diagnosis of Coeliac Disease in a Case with Suspected Acute Liver Failure” in the European Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology “Non-Invasive Diagnostic Biomarkers” by Dr. Rohit Loomba of UC San Diego “Acute Cryptogenic Liver Failure in an Untreated Coeliac Patient” in the European Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology “Increased Risk of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease After Diagnosis of Celiac Disease” from the Journal of Hepatology Connect with Nadine:  Instagram Facebook Contact via Email ‘Your Skin on Gluten’ on YouTube Books by Nadine: Dough Nation: A Nurse's Memoir of Celiac Disease from Missed Diagnosis to Food and Health Activism

This week on ‘Gluten Free RN,’ Nadine explores gluten intolerance in pets. She looks at the health problems pets have experienced in increasing numbers in the last several decades and contends that a Paleo Diet is more appropriate for your furry friends than a diet that includes grains. Nadine also explains the risk of cross-contamination and the importance of removing all products containing gluten (including pet food) from your home if you have a sensitivity to it. Listen and learn the ways in which a gluten-free diet is more appropriate to your pet’s biology and get pet food brand recommendations from Nadine! What’s Discussed:  How Nadine discovered the benefits of a gluten-free diet for pet health As her gastrointestinal issues improved, so did Slugs’ Why grains are not appropriate for dogs and cats Historically, dogs and cats are omnivores by instinct A Paleo Diet including meat and plant matter will improve your pet’s health The diseases pets have developed over the last several decades Many of these conditions are similar to the health problems humans have developed Why it’s difficult to test pets for gluten intolerance and celiac disease A clinical trial is often the only way to determine if gluten is causing your pet’s health issues The symptoms your pet might exhibit that could point to a gluten intolerance The risks of cross-contamination for people who are exposed to the grain in their pet’s food For a celiac patient, exposure to a bread crumb can trigger the same auto-immune reaction as an entire piece of cake The foods you should never give your pets The pet food brands with zero or very low (less than 10 ppm) gluten content Animal Crackers has a huge selection of grain-free, high-quality pet food How to test food for the presence of gluten   Resources Mentioned:   “Gluten-sensitive enteropathy in a family of Irish setters” by Sylvie C.
