The food we eat is structurally different from our ancestor’s food which has a detrimental effect on our physical and mental health. Teri Cochrane, the creator of The Wildatarian Diet, talks about developing the diet, avoiding mycotoxins, and improving our connection to our body. Some of the Foods to Eat on The Wildatarian Diet Squash of All Kinds Grass-Fed Meats Cornish Hen and Guinea Fowls Organic and Natural Wines About Teri Cochrane Teri Cochrane is an integrative practitioner and thought leader in sustainable health and longevity. She is the founder of The Global Sustainable Health Institute and has developed “The Cochrane Method” which integrates a multi-level, bio-individualized, metabolic health modality. Teri specializes in complex health conditions. She also serves to maximize the human potential in ballerinas, professional athletes, and Olympic hopefuls. Teri has a private clinical practice in the metro Washington DC area. She launched her groundbreaking and Amazon bestselling new release book in 2018 - The Wildatarian Diet - Living as Nature Intended. Teri received her Bachelor of Science from the University of Florida and an advanced degree from Huntington School of Health Sciences. She is trained in Cranio-Sacral, Herbology, Healing Touch, and is a Certified Coach Practitioner. Teri has also spent nearly 20 years as an executive for a Fortune 500 company. Teri believes longevity starts in the womb. What’s in our Food Teri Cochrane explains why she created The Wildatarian Diet and what exactly it means. Basically, it’s about eating all foods in as natural and organic a form as possible. She briefly explains why our vegetables and meats are almost unrecognizable from what our ancestors ate. Teri talks about why the change in our food supply has had such an adverse effect on our bodies. Not only does the change in nutrient profile and toxic load impact our physical health, but our stress levels also alter as well. Much of our food also contains mycotoxins. Teri describes what type of mold this is and what foods it’s most commonly found in. She shares why it’s vital we avoid foods containing high levels of mycotoxins. Food Impacts Physical and Mental Health Teri talks about other food elements we need to be aware of and the effects they have on our bodies. She describes some of the symptoms of poor sulfur metabolism while also explaining why we need to have sulfur, or more accurately sulfates, in our diet. Teri also explains the problem with glyphosates. Foods high in glyphosates hinder our body’s ability to digest protein, which can not only lead to physical problems but also impacts our mental health. Finally, Teri shares what she eats while following The Wildatarian Diet. She explains how no matter what type of foods you prefer to eat (plants, fish, meat, or combo), you can find a wilder way to eat them. Have you found that certain foods bother you more than others? Have you found any correlation yourself? Call the Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic today and schedule your first appointment at 319-363-0033. Quotes “This is what I love about The Wildaterian Diet. I call it an equal opportunity diet because you can be plant-based, sea, land, or you can be a combo platter. It really speaks to what your body needs right now.” [14:33] “Glyphosate has impaired our body’s ability to digest protein. It also acts as an analog to L-Serine which is so important for mental health. And then, it has impaired the body’s ability to convert sulfur to its wonderful end product of sulfate. We get stuck in this spin cycle and these vegetables, which used to be so healthy for us, are now potentially becoming our enemies.” [26:46] “As we become sustainable in our health profile, there is a lot more that we can do. We can dance with a bounty of foods that we may not have been able to touch before.” [46:44] In This Episode What the Wildaterian Diet is [4:15] How food supply and stress can impact your body [15:00] What mycotoxins are and why we should avoid them [16:00] What foods are highest in mycotoxins [16:30] Some of the symptoms of poor sulfur metabolism [24:00] Why Glyphosate is so bad for our bodies [25:45] What to eat on The Wildatarian Diet [39:30] Links & Resources Read Why Antioxidants Are Important Get 10% Off Mitochondrial Complex with Code ENERGY Use code LIVERDETOX for 10% off Either Chocolate or Vanilla Core Restore Order Your Meat from D’Artagnan Today Start The Wildatarian Kickstart Detox for Free Buy The Wildatarian Diet: Living as Nature Intended: A Customized Nutritional Approach for Optimal Health, Energy, and Vitality by Teri Cochrane on Amazon Find Teri Cochrane Online Find The Global Sustainable Health Institute Online Follow Teri Cochrane on Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube Find Your Longevity Blueprint Online Follow Your Longevity Blueprint on Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube | LinkedIn Get your copy of the Your Longevity Blueprint book and claim your bonuses here Find Dr. Stephanie Gray and Your Longevity Blueprint online Follow Dr. Stephanie Gray on Facebook | Instagram | Youtube | Twitter | LinkedIn Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic Podcast Production by the team at Counterweight Creative Related Episodes Episode 31: Gut/Brain Connection With Dr. Lauryn Lax Episode 32: Happy Hormones For Life With Dr. Deb Matthew Episode 43: Liver Cleansing With Steven Dake
Sorry, interference has slightly impaired the sound in some parts of this podcast.This week we talk to John Tomsett, Headeacher at Huntington School and Jonny Uttley, CEO, The Education Alliance about the book they co-authored ‘Putting staff first’. We discuss some practical ways that leaders can create a school culture that nurtures staff so they can better support their pupils. We also talk about the role of high quality staff development, research-informed practice, meaningful performance management and reduced workload can all play in establishing such a culture. Finally, we consider the qualities required to lead teaching and learning as a Headteacher or CEO, and the system changes John and Jonny would like to see in the next 10 years.
We’ve travelled a whole mile away from campus for this episode, for the very first ResearchED Cymru event. ResearchED is an organisation aimed at bringing educational research to teachers in a way they can use, promoting the idea that knowing about the clues to ‘what works’ that current research gives us as teachers can save us chasing myths or getting stuck in practice that’s not the best for our pupils. ResearchED events happen on Saturdays, and this year the organisation came to Wales for the first time. There was a star-studded list of speakers for teachers to choose from… and us! While we waited to give our presentation on cross-curricular pedagogies in the expressive arts (see episode 2 of this season of the podcast for details of what we were talking about), we attended some interesting presentations, watched a video message from the mighty Dylan Wiliam, and grabbed some informal interviews with some of the big-name speakers. Now we’ve glued it all together, along with an interview with Gareth Rein who organised the event, and our own musings on the day, to give a flavour of ResearchED to anyone who hasn’t managed to attend the real thing. Our grateful thanks to everyone who contributed to this episode, and to ResearchED for inviting us to speak! Our contributors this episode, in order of appearance: Gareth Rein (Headteacher of St Joseph’s RC Primary School, Penarth) Dylan Wiliam (Emeritus Professor of educational assessment at UCL, co-author of the seminal Inside the Black Box and AfL guru) Mary Myatt (author of The Curriculum: Gallimaufry to Coherence) David Didau (author of Making Kids Cleverer: A Manifesto for Closing the Advantage Gap and loads of other books) We also feature a blog post by John Tomsett, headteacher of Huntington School in York, which you can find here.

He is the co-founder of John’s Crazy Socks which has a mission to spread happiness through socks. Part of our goal at John’s Crazy Socks is to empower people and demonstrate the possibilities that each of us possesses. John serves as the face of the company and embodies those qualities in all he does. To prepare for his current role, John underwent years of schooling. He began his education in the pre-school program at ACDS and still remembers those days fondly. John moved onto the Huntington School system which he completed in June 2017. John’s school work included life skills classes as well as electives such as fashion and photography and he was a proud member of the school chorus. During his last three years, John split his days between Huntington High School and Wilson Tech where he studied office skills and retailing. After school, John participated in the Grand-Friends Club and the Relay for Life events. Wilson Tech named John their Outstanding Student of the Year. For a young man, John has strong work experience. In the summer of 2016, he worked in the kitchen of a local day camp, Camp Alvernia. For several years, he worked as the mail clerk at the Schlitt Law Firm. Arriving at the office every day after school, John maintained the mail supplies and stamps and made the daily run to post office, sorting envelopes and packages for the fastest delivery. He also assisted in general maintenance of the office, handling the shredding, running errands and lending a hand whenever he could. Since an early age, John devoted himself to Special Olympics activities. He engages in snowshoe, basketball, track, soccer, floor hockey and bowling. His efforts have won John numerous medals and invitations to the New York State Games for soccer, track and snowshoe. In fact, John was named an alternate to the U.S. National Snowshoe Team for the Special Olympics World Games in March 2017. John is both the co-founder and inspiration for John’s Crazy Socks. It was John’s deep and abiding love for his “crazy socks” that gave rise to this venture. John has long maintained his personal style that does not confirm to whims of the fashion industry or dictates of others: it is a style he makes manifest with his spirit and personality. His colorful, fun and often whimsical socks (Bacon!) are just part of who he is. Here at John’s Crazy Socks, John does a little bit of everything. He writes thank you notes to customers, does thank you videos, helps fill orders and helps pick out the socks that we will carry in the store. And he’s our ambassador, extoling the virtues, beauty and wonders of socks. John has appeared on numerous television shows and videos for interviews. He’s got his name above the door, so you know he’s checking to make sure we fulfill our promises. Mark X.

Earlier in his career, Mark served as the Director of Medicaid Health Services in New York City where he led a major Medicaid reform initiative that included groundbreaking legislation in Albany and improvements in care while restraining costs. While with the City, Mark worked under two mayors and won an award as Manager of the Year. Mark went on to work with hospitals and health centers that created some of the best known managed care organizations in New York State. He has a background in education having taught graduate studies at NYU and lectured on management at Columbia’s School of Public Health. Early in his career, Mark taught school in Queens and worked for Congressman Joseph P. Addabbo. Mark received his undergraduate degree from Holy Cross and a Masters of Public Policy at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. He has also studied literature at the Graduate Center for the City of New York and spent a year studying at Trinity College in Dublin. Mark was the co-leader for the Barack Obama Grassroots Campaign on Long Island and served as one of President Obama’s appointees on the Rules Committee at the Democratic Convention in 2008.
