What if eating nutritious food isn't enough because what really matters is what your body can actually digest, absorb, and utilize?In Episode 150 of The Dr. Haley Show, Dr. Michael Haley sits down with Dr. Ryan Jones, a Doctor of Oriental and Complementary Medicine with decades of experience spanning traditional healing systems, nutritional medicine, supplement formulation, and manufacturing.The conversation begins with monolaurin—the monoglyceride of lauric acid at the heart of Lauricidin®—and expands into a much bigger discussion about gut health, the microbiome, food sensitivities, probiotics, fermented foods, immune health, supplement quality, and why improving health usually requires much more than simply adding another pill or supplement.Dr. Jones explains why Lauricidin comes in tiny pellets, why he recommends starting with small amounts and gradually increasing intake, and how he believes monolaurin fits into a broader approach to digestive and immune health.Michael and Ryan also dig into coconut oil and lauric acid, leaky gut, Candida, probiotics, homemade sauerkraut and kefir, food sensitivities, topical products, and what Ryan has learned from working inside the supplement and cosmetic manufacturing industries.In This EpisodeWhat monolaurin and glycerol monolaurate areLauric acid, coconut oil, and MCT oilsWhy Lauricidin is made as small pelletsWhy Dr. Jones recommends starting low and increasing slowlyDigestion, absorption, and the idea that "it's not what you eat—it's what you absorb"The gut microbiome and dysbiosisWhy there may be no single "magic bullet" for chronic health problemsFood sensitivities and Dr. Jones' experience with NAETWhat may contribute to increased intestinal permeability or "leaky gut"Probiotics, fermented foods, kefir, and homemade sauerkrautColloidal silver and topical antimicrobial approachesOral health, toothpaste, lotions, deodorant, and other Lauricidin productsLow-potency supplements and what Dr. Jones calls the "pixie dust effect"What decades of supplement formulation have taught him about the industryHow Dr. Jones personally incorporates Lauricidin into his lifestyleEpisode Timestamps00:00 — You Can't Drug the Body Back to Health00:48 — Meet Dr. Ryan Jones03:39 — What Is Lauricidin and Monolaurin?06:36 — Monolaurin, Lauric Acid & Breast Milk08:43 — Coconut Oil vs. Concentrated Monolaurin10:48 — Why Lauricidin Uses Pellets13:18 — Eastern Medicine Meets Modern Formulation15:22 — Caprylic, Capric & Lauric Acid Explained19:50 — It's Not What You Eat—It's What You Absorb21:48 — Monolaurin and the Gut Microbiome24:08 — What Research Would Dr. Jones Fund?27:35 — Why One Intervention May Not Be Enough31:14 — Colloidal Silver & Topical Approaches32:27 — Wounds, Scarring & Secondary Infection35:44 — Herpes, Shingles & Viral Load Discussion38:28 — Monolaurin, COVID & Immune Health40:26 — Food Sensitivities and NAET42:06 — Why There Is No Health "Magic Bullet"44:20 — Which Microorganisms Are Most Susceptible?48:23 — What Causes "Leaky Gut"?50:46 — Dr. Jones' Gut Health Approach54:19 — Probiotics, Kefir & Homemade Sauerkraut58:15 — Oral Health, Toothpaste & Lauricidin Products1:02:57 — Natural Deodorant & the Skin Microbiome1:05:00 — What the Supplement Industry Gets Wrong1:06:33 — Low Potency & the "Pixie Dust" Problem1:09:47 — How Dr. Jones Uses Lauricidin Personally1:11:23 — Final ThoughtsDr. Ryan Jones & LauricidinDr. Ryan Jones: https://www.lauricidin.com/collections/dr-ryanLauricidin®: https://www.lauricidin.com/Dr. Jones' Gut Health Protocol: https://www.lauricidin.com/pages/expert-protocol-series-br-protocol-for-gut-health-using-monolaurin-by-dr-ryan-jonesDr. Jones' Leaky Gut Support Protocol: https://www.lauricidin.com/pages/expert-protocol-series-br-leaky-gut-support-using-lauricidin-by-dr-ryan-jonesLauricidin Pro — Health Professional Resources: https://www.lauricidin.pro/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauricidin/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Lauricidin/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/lauricidinX: https://x.com/lauricidinFull Episode ResourcesShow notes, video, resources, and additional information: https://drhaley.com/monolaurin-gut-health/About The Dr. Haley ShowThe Dr. Haley Show explores health, nutrition, natural medicine, longevity, the microbiome, lifestyle, and unconventional ideas about human health.Hosted by Dr. Michael Haley. https://drhaley.com/Haley Nutrition: https://haleynutrition.com/Medical Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not medical advice.

Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, PhD, is a professor of nutritional medicine at Columbia University School of Medicine and an expert on the bidirectional relationship between nutrition and sleep. We discuss how even moderate sleep loss increases appetite, changes hunger-related hormones, and causes weight gain, even when calories are not increased. We also explain how meal timing and specific foods, like fiber, ginger, saturated fat, and various oils, affect sleep onset, sleep quality, and metabolism. Throughout the conversation, we discuss specific foods and diets that directly support weight loss, better sleep, and long-term cardiometabolic health. Read the show notes at hubermanlab.com.

I've been bugging Elizabeth Bruckner for months to come back on the podcast, because I've been listening to her other podcast guest episodes and feeling like we've been missing out, and I finally wore her down. I'm kidding - she's been wanting to go deep about Kefir with someone, and I've been interested in learning about it, and finding a fermented food I can actually ingest. And boy oh boy, did we get an education!Elizabeth was a guest in 2025 (episode 148) to talk about her book, The Homesteader Mindset, that had just published. We talked about homesteading and how you don't have to have a certain look or property to be a homesteader. Kefir is a part of Elizabeth's journey to health. She very vulnerably shares that she was bed bound for weeks, housebound for months, and unable to work for years, due to an illness.  She began to heal as she started researching herself; she is now an Oriental Medicine Practitioner and Acupuncturist. She learned about organic foods and fermented foods, among many other things. Elizabeth's message is to start small, and add on as you feel comfortable - with kefir, and homesteading, or any new habits. When talking to friends, someone asked for an easy step to take to make an impact, and her answer was quickly KEFIR. It's a really easy thing to add to your routine! I've been doing it for a few weeks now - not sure if I'm seeing benefits yet, but there definitely aren't any bad things. I have terrible eyesight, but my nose and ears make up for that - I had to trick my nose with a taste of jam or cranberry sauce with kefir to help it go down... I do like that it's not sweet - I'm not a yogurt person, because it's always very sweet (and I don't like the "tang" of plain yogurt).Access to Elizabeth's Kefir course: http://www.createwellnessproject.com/kefir - remember, use code Grounded for 25% off!Her website: https://createwellnessproject.com/Send me a message!Support the showLike this episode?

I love it when a conversation feels like it's been years in the making. This one really has!Today's guest is someone who has quietly, faithfully shaped the way I think about food for a long time—my friend Wardee Harmon from Traditional Cooking School.And if you've ever felt like the world of “healthy eating” is a swirl of contradictions…one expert says this, another says that…you are not alone. (Honestly, it can make your head spin before you even get dinner on the table.)Wardee has this rare gift of bringing clarity to all that noise.Her Eat God's Way plan isn't just another list of rules or trendy swaps. It's a grounded, thoughtful look at the foods humans were designed to eat, paired with traditional methods that real families have used for generations. Things like soaking, fermenting, sourdough…not because they're fancy, but because they work.And I've seen firsthand how she teaches. She doesn't overwhelm. She connects the dots.She makes it feel doable, even if you're starting from “we eat cereal for dinner sometimes and I'm just trying to survive.”I also love that her perspective is rooted in faith, but she holds it with such grace. If that resonates with you, you're going to feel right at home. And if it's new or not quite your thing, there's still so much practical wisdom here to take and run with.Wardee is also one of our incredible leaders for #LifeSkillsNow! This year she is teaching a delicious gluten-free Blueberry Oat Cake.So whether you're curious about traditional foods, wondering if sourdough is worth the hype, or just hoping to feel a little more grounded in what you feed your family…You're in the right place.Resources We Mention for Eating God's WayGet the Eat God's Way booksCheck out Wardee's book Fermenting: Pickles, Kimchi, Kefir, Kombucha, Sourdough, Yogurt, Cheese and More!

Most people think yogurt, kefir, and skyr are basically the same…But one simple step changes everything. In this episode, I'm going to show you how straining transforms fermented dairy — increasing protein, lowering lactose, and changing how full and satisfied you feel. We'll talk about kefir, Greek yogurt, skyr, and Yogurt Plus… and how each one works differently in your body. Because when you understand this, you can start choosing foods that truly support you.

For thousands of years, people in Eastern Europe have been drinking Kefir, a fermented dairy drink. Now, people around the world are waking up to its incredible health benefits, and for one US company, that presents a tremendous opportunity.Julie Smolyansky is the CEO of Lifeway Foods. When she took over Lifeway in 2002 at just 27 years old, she became the youngest female CEO of a publicly traded company.

Kathleen destroys the myth that eggs are harmful, Peter talks about the benefits of Kefir, and a story about Remembrance Day in a small town in Holland. Kathleen's Deep Dive Eggs got a bad rap for years for supposedly increasing bad cholesterol.  Actually, the opposite may be true. Go figure! A published study showed eating 2 eats daily lowered LDL cholesterol. Eggs provide cholesterol without overloading the liver, allowing it to clear LDL efficiently.  So go eat some farm-fresh eggs from pasture-raised hens! Peter talks about the benefits of kefir and his experience after eating it every day for five weeks. He mentions how the schoolchildren of Oosterbeek in Holland have been placing flowers on Allied paratroopers' graves every Remembrance Day for 80 years to honour their sacrifice in WWII.

Yogurt is touted as a health food that can help support the gut microbiome, but really, how healthy is yogurt? In this video, discover all the things you didn't know about yogurt. Your gut health depends on this!0:00 Introduction: Is yogurt bad for you? 0:10 Fermented foods 1:00 Yogurt side effects and benefits 3:10 Commercial yogurt vs. homemade yogurt5:11 Unhealthy facts about yogurt6:45 Processed yogurt ingredients 8:59 Probiotics, kefir, and sauerkraut The benefits of yogurt and other fermented foods do not lie in their ability to reseed the gut. The real benefit is the change in environment. Fermented and cultured foods change the pH and oxygen levels in the gut. They also provide food and metabolites for the gut microbes, which can also help activate dormant microbes. Many microbes have been suppressed by antibiotics, junk food, and other factors. Many of them are keystone microbes, which are vital for your gut health. Unless your yogurt says it contains live and active cultures, it's been double-pasteurized. Commercial yogurt typically ferments for 1 to 2 hours, whereas traditional homemade yogurt ferments anywhere from 8 to 36 hours. By the time you eat commercial yogurt, there are significantly fewer CFUs of bacteria than stated on the label.Sugar in yogurt can kill the friendly bacteria and feed pathogens in your gut. Added ingredients, such as pectin, gels, and guar gum, inhibit bacterial movement. Yogurt fermented for only 1 to 2 hours will not have the right texture or thickness, so ingredients such as modified food starch, carrageenan, and polysorbate 80 are added. These ingredients can destroy the mucosal layer of the gut, leading to leaky gut and inflammation. Many commercial yogurts contain artificial sweeteners, which are known to alter the gut microbiome.Many processed yogurts contain bioengineered food ingredients that may contain traces of glyphosate, a patented antibiotic. This means the very product you're consuming to support your gut health could be destroying your gut microbes. Probiotics contain significantly more microbes than yogurt. These freeze-dried microbes are often able to reach the large intestine and reseed the gut, especially when taken repetitively. Kefir, which contains both bacteria and yeast, is also a better option than yogurt.Sauerkraut is an excellent food for gut health. It contains polyphenols, postbiotics, SCFAs, sulforaphane, organic acids, glutamine, and the compound s-methylmethionine.

Our guest is Julie Smolyansky, CEO of Lifeway Foods, the company that pioneered the kefir market in America and today produces 95% of the kefir sold in the U.S. Julie's story begins in 1976, when her parents immigrated from Kiev ( the former Soviet Union)  to Chicago. Her mother opened a deli, while her father, a mechanical engineer, missed the kefir he had back in the Soviet Union so he started making his own, and from that, Lifeway Foods was born. In 2002, tragedy struck. Julie's father, Michael Smolyansky, died suddenly of a heart attack. At just 27, Julie stepped into the CEO role, becoming the youngest female CEO of a publicly traded company. Under her leadership, Lifeway expanded its product lines and grew internationally. Today, with revenues topping $200 million, Julie has proven herself a powerhouse CEO—while also raising two daughters, running marathons, reading voraciously, and giving back through philanthropy and community leadership. This is the kind of conversation we love: a woman courageously living a full, multidimensional life. In this episode, we cover her parents' immigrant journey, the rise of kefir in America, the science of gut health, and Lifeway's latest innovations, including kefir with collagen and creatine.   This conversation is about courage, resilience, and building a full life. We get into: ✨ Her family's immigrant journey from Kiev to Chicago ✨ How kefir conquered America ✨ The science of gut health ✨ Lifeway's bold new products (yes—kefir with collagen + creatine!)   Check out our website: https://meantforyoupod.com Reach out to us: meantforyoupod@gmail.com Follow us on IG

In this episode of HHH, Anthonee Yim returns to share his powerful journey of qualifying for the CrossFit Games for the first time. Over the past year, Anthony transitioned from juggling a full-time job in California to moving across the country and joining Proven Fitness in Tennessee. He talks about the sacrifices of leaving his family and sunny SoCal, the demands of elite training, and the mental resilience it takes to perform at the highest level. From nutrition and attention to detail to redefining success, Anthony's story is packed with lessons for athletes and everyday people chasing big goals.

We're diving into one of the most overlooked—but surprisingly important—parts of family nutrition: drinks. In this final episode of our “What Can I Eat?” series, we're talking about what's really hydrating (spoiler: it's not just water), why juice boxes aren't the solution, and how ancestral wisdom can help us rethink what we offer our kids and ourselves to drink each day.   We chat about everything from raw milk and herbal teas to fermented beverages like water kefir and kombucha. You'll hear practical tips, stories from our own families, and the deeper “why” behind nutrient-dense drinks. If you've ever wondered what's actually worth sipping—or how to ditch the dye-filled sports drinks—this episode is packed with insight.  

Sleep detoxifies our brains! Refined sugars, junk food, and late-night snacking can interfere with sleep. If you want better sleep, eat earlier in the day. For the best sleep, have your last meal around 5:00 p.m. If you're waking at night to urinate, intermittent fasting and a low-carb diet can help. Inflammatory foods, such as grains, can also interfere with your sleep. High carbohydrate diets increase your need for vitamin B1, which reduces anxiety and tension.Kefir contains probiotics that can build up serotonin, which turns into melatonin, the sleep hormone. L. reuteri yogurt also contains helpful probiotics to improve sleep. Consume ½ cup daily; it doesn't have to be before bed.Try the following tips for better sleep to help you wake up early feeling refreshed and energized!

Blue light from your computer or phone stimulates energy, while infrared lighting helps you wind down. Around 50% of the sun's rays are infrared and can penetrate several inches into the body. Infrared light helps you make vitamin D, which is vital for sleep and increasing melatonin. Since culture has pushed us away from sun exposure, sleep quality has declined. Alcohol will make you feel tired, but it interferes with deep sleep. Caffeine, tea, coffee, and chocolate act as stimulants and prevent sleep. Increase exercise to improve sleep. Stretching and massage can also help you relax. Here are a few more deep sleep tips that can significantly improve sleep quality:•Sleep on your right side•Focus on nose breathing •Reduce stress for better sleep•Ensure adequate sodium intake to maintain healthy cortisol levels •Increase potassium intake •Consume magnesium glycinate powder 1 hour before bed •Sound machine •Binaural beats •Use essential oils (Spikenard, vetiver)Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Kefir changed my life—and I've watched it do the same for thousands of others. In this episode, I'm sharing how this powerful, probiotic-rich drink helped restore my health from the inside out. From lowering blood pressure and balancing blood sugar, to calming the nervous system and boosting immunity, kefir is a living food with ancient roots and modern-day miracles. If your body is crying out for help, kefir may just be the answer it's looking for.

In this bitesize episode, I speak to gut health expert Tim Spector about the link between the microbiome and mental health. Tim explains how the bacteria in your gut produce key brain chemicals like serotonin and GABA — and how what you eat affects stress, mood, energy and even sleep. We also talk about the hidden signs of poor gut health, why 'five-a-day' advice isn't enough anymore, and how ultra-processed foods are quietly reshaping our national health. I share a personal story of how fermented foods helped turn around my own anxiety — and why the gut is a good place to start if you're feeling off balance.
