Let's set the stage and talk about Good Digestion vs. Bad…To understand what goes wrong with digestion, it is important to understand how it works. As food mixed with saliva enters the stom­ach, it is broken down into small particles by stomach acid, then by enzymes produced by the pancre­as and bile produced by the liver. “Good” bacteria (flora) in the small intestine complete the job of break­ing down nutrients so that they can be absorbed. Indigestible parts of food, such as fiber, and other waste products are pushed into the colon where they remain until eliminated.It also serves as a barrier to prevent undigested food, large molecules and foreign substances, such as harmful bacteria and yeast, from getting through. When the lin­ing of the small intestine becomes irritated and inflamed, it is unable to do its job properly.  As a result, bacteria and undigested food “leak” into the bloodstream.  Officially this is called increased intestinal perme­ability, but more often the problem is called leaky gut syndrome.Learn more about Dr. Mark Stengler, NMDLearn more about The Holistic Guide to Gut HealthEmerald Labs Leaky Gut Health can be found at Sprouts, Natural Grocers, and other Natural Health retailers nationwide.Buy direct and  get 20% off at Emeraldlabs.com when using the code: Forever

Keeping these gateways to the body clean is of utmost importance during allergy season if you want to reduce symptoms and not rely on antihistamines. There are other products out there, such as Xlear Nasal Spray with xylitol, which can help keep the nasal passage clean and clear of seasonal allergies, all without the negative side effects that antihistamines can cause. The addition of xylitol allows Xlear to be hypertonic, without causing the uncomfortable burning sensation that accompanies traditional saline nasal sprays. This hypertonicity means that more moisture is being pulled into the nose to help wash out contaminants and ensure the nose and sinuses are hydratedIf you're on the lookout for an antihistamine-free remedy to your allergies this season, give Xlear a try.Xlear Nasal Products are available at Walgreens, CVS, Vitamin Shoppe, Rite Aid, Target, Kroger, Publix, Sprouts, Natural Grocers and most natural products retailers nationwide.

Jane has the unique perspective as a medical professional who, prior to becoming a naturopathic practitioner, spent years in Radiology and Ultrasound doing research and performing tests on patients with varying types of health problems.We look forward all year to family traditions enjoying our favorite recipes for food, beverages and treats during the holidays. Traveling to see friends and family or hosting special events. But during the holidays our digestive systems can take a beating.But let's be real, most of the daily habits that keep our digestion healthy during the year, get put on hold during the holidays. Over-indulging, staying up late, and stress physically and emotionally is part of most holidays as there are so many things to do!So, what do practitioners recommend to keep our digestive system balanced, yet still be able to enjoy the rich treats this holiday season?According to Jane Jahnsen, a Naturopathic practitioner, I often advise my patients to practice moderation and balance their holiday food and drink choices, On the actual holiday don't worry about enjoying yourself, unless you have specific health concerns that your doctor says otherwise. But don't give yourself excuses to overindulge every day leading up to or every day after the holiday. That includes food, treats, and beverages. Be mindful of becoming over stressed, or not sleeping well too. Your body talks to you all the time, listening to it and it will tell you when you, and your microbiome, are out of balance.Let's remind everyone that Dr. Ohhira's Probiotics are available at Natural Grocers, Sprouts, Vitamin Shoppe, Whole Foods,and other natural health retailers across the U.S. Also available online.Visit www.essentialformulas.com for a retailer near you.Learn more about Jane

Mayor Mike Johnston just hit his goal of getting 2,000 people off the streets before the end of the year. However, the housing fight is far from over — he's also been hard at work pushing Ballot Issue 2R, which, if passed, would increase the city's sales tax to fund a new affordable housing plan. But with Mile High residents already struggling with the cost of living, is a regressive tax really the answer? The mayor joins host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi for his regular check-in to make his case for higher taxes. Plus, Mayor Mike wades into the minimum wage debate, explains why he thinks adding more police officers to the force will mean fewer people of color being incarcerated, and answers listener questions about crime on Colfax and dangerous drivers.  Are you going to vote for Mayor Johnston's sales tax hike to fund affordable housing?

First, Natural Grocers announced the closure of its Capitol Hill location at the end of the month, citing crime and safety issues. But a look at the crime data points to a more complicated situation on Colfax. Then, employee ownership is on the rise in Colorado and has emerged as a big issue in the debate over the proposed slaughterhouse ban in Denver. So host Bree Davies and producer Paul Karolyi are taking a look at what employee ownership really means — for the contested Globeville slaughterhouse, but also Fancy Tiger Crafts Co-op and Beau Jo's.

Prebiotics, Probiotics, & Postbiotics and their Importance to health.Your digestive gut (intestinal tract) is the largest immune system organ, containing up to 80% of your body's immune cells. Therefore, the healthier your digestive system the healthier you generally are and vice versa. Factors like diet, exercise, genes, trauma, illness, lifestyle, medications, infections, and mental health all can influence the state of your gut microbiome. Prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics all play an important role in maintaining a microbiome, considered essential to the human body.Everyone is born with a miniature microbiome (eco system) inside the intestines. This ecosystem is populated by trillions of microscopic organisms which include over a thousand species of bacteria, as well as viruses, fungi, and parasites. Most are good, some are bad.According to the Mayo Clinic, “Probiotics are foods or supplements that contain live microorganisms intended to maintain or improve the good bacteria (microflora) in the body. Prebiotics are foods (typically high-fiber foods) that act as food for human microflora.” Postbiotics are healthy by-products after the probiotic strains digest the prebiotics. Joining us today is Naturopathic Practitioner, Jane Jansen of the Tree of Life Wellness Center in Massachusetts.

#152: Alan Lewis  delivers deep insights into the growing number of reasons small and mid-sized farms can't find shelf space within American grocery stores. With the arrival of AI and its impact on purchasing systems, even food coops and small Mom and Pops are  aiming to stock convenient-to-order over real, local food.Alan Lewis is the VP of Government Affairs, Stakeholder Relations, and Organic Compliance at Natural Grocers. His 2019 talk at the first annual Real Organic Symposium blew a lot of minds, as he described the massive consolidation in the natural foods industry, which has been boiled down to two distributors. In addition to his roles with IFOAM North America, the  Non-GMO Project, and the Organic + Natural Health Association,  Alan serves on the Real Organic Advisory Board.To watch a video version of this podcast with access to the full transcript and links relevant to our conversation, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/alan-lewis-food-system-betrayal-episode-one-hundred-fifty-twoThe Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce, and pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs from products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/farmsWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be, but that the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing the ability for small farms who adhere to the law to stay in business. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

The discussion included some key takeaways and memorable moments including:Lewis noted that respect is necessary for both men and women when having these conversations in addition to setting boundaries and also mentioned that many men may lack respect because they fear that, “if they are vulnerable, they will suffer at the hands of other people, specifically men.”Lambertson has noticed, from her experience in the natural products industry, that men are less likely to invest in female entrepreneurs because there is concern that women must split their time between work and being a caretaker at home.

#044:  Alan Lewis of Natural Grocers shares some (pretty disturbing) insights about the effects consolidation in our distribution and supply chains are having on small farmers. Long gone are the days of your local food co-op unloading just-picked produce from the back of pickup truck! Here instead is more industrial food than ever, that's been engineered for delivery and storage with zero loss - and zero flavor. Alan Lewis is the VP of Government Affairs, Stakeholder Relations, and Organic Compliance at Natural Grocers. His 2019 talk at the first annual Real Organic Symposium blew a lot of minds, as he described the massive consolidation in the natural foods industry, which has been boiled down to two distributors. In addition to his roles with IFOAM North America, the  Non-GMO Project, and the Organic + Natural Health Association,  Alan serves on the Real Organic Advisory Board.To watch a video version of this podcast please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/alan-lewis-real-farm-food-rare-in-stores-episode-forty-fourThe Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce. It also identifies pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs as compared to products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/farmsWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be. But the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing small farms that follow the law. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but are still paying a premium price. The lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Friends!https://www.realorganicproject.org/1000-real-fans/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

We recently had the honor and pleasure of facilitating a talk for Natural Grocers on Food Quality. We talked a little about how upgrading your quality can impact your results. We also went into a spectrum of quality for most common foods we purchase. Remember what you want from your health efforts: Improved body composition. Improved health. Remember why you're eating food in the first place: For nutrients to contribute to structure, form, and function. These nutrients build the body and contribute to all the functions of the body. For metabolic flexibility and fat burning. You want to eat food in a way that nurtures your body's ability to use fat for fuel. Eating this way contributes to and optimal body composition and metabolic health - the absence of metabolic syndrome = an ideal body composition, normal blood pressure, blood sugar handling capacity, low triglycerides, and high HDL.

Standing apart from your competition is something we hear a lot about as entrepreneurs, but it can be easier said than done. This is especially true when you’re in a market with heaps of competition from industry giants.   Even so, there are people making it happen, including this week’s guest, Tyler Ornstein, founder of Tylers Coffees®. Coffee is the second largest industry in the world, second only to petroleum, so there’s no shortage of “giants” to compete against. Yet Tylers Coffees® has been around for sixteen years, is available in 500 retail locations as well as online, and now ships 40,000 units of coffee a month. Clearly, being the David in an industry packed with Goliaths didn’t prevent Tylers Coffees® from becoming a mass success.   Tune into this episode to hear Tyler’s tips, lessons, and strategies that any entrepreneur in any industry can use to successfully wage war on a business battlefield full of “giants.” It’s Not The Coffee, It’s The Acid Tylers Coffees® were conceived when Tyler was just 14 years old. He and his father often bonded over coffee, until his dad was told, by his doctors, that he couldn’t drink coffee anymore. It was due to his stomach issues. The acid in the coffee was  exacerbating those issues. Instead of simply rolling over, however, Tyler’s dad, a chemist, figured out a way to brew organic, acid-free coffee that he could drink. Validate Your Idea First Even at age 14, Tyler recognized that other people with stomach and digestive issues who had to avoid acidic foods might be interested in his dad’s acid-free coffee. So, he rode around the neighborhood on his bike, knocking on doors and offering free samples to neighbors. Tyler remembers following up with a particular little old lady, who told Tyler the coffee did not hurt her stomach. She asked how she could obtain more, and what it cost. Tyler continued to hear from people with similar experiences, which gave him proof of concept and inspired him to start selling Tylers Coffees®. What Tyler did--testing his offer’s viability--is a step new entrepreneurs often skip, to their detriment. In this episode, Tyler describes a simple, affordable way to test your product’s viability. How Do You Compete With Starbucks And Folgers? You Don’t! Attempting to directly compete with the “giants” usually leads to price wars, since there’s really nothing differentiating you from the competition. Instead of competing directly with the major coffee brands, Tylers Coffees® caters to health conscientious coffee drinkers--specifically, people with digestive issues who can’t tolerate the acid in normal coffee. As a result, Tyler can charge more for Tylers Coffees®, help people enjoy a beverage they may not otherwise be able to, and provide a superior product. You Don’t Need Money, You Need Customers When an aspiring entrepreneur tells Tyler they “need money,: his next question is usually, “Do you have customers?” These days there are lots of ways to acquire money for product creation, but what good is any product if there aren’t people willing to buy it? It may sound counterintuitive, but the more you focus on a market you can serve, the better your odds of creating a product people want to buy. Retail Is Dead...Or Is It? Because lockdowns and COVID restrictions make shopping at a retail location challenging, many retail sectors are suffering. Online shopping as a whole contributes to this dynamic as well. But that still doesn’t mean retail, as a whole, is dead. In this episode Tyler offers tips on getting your products into retail stores, including whether it’s currently worth the effort to do so with your particular product. He also shares what it took to get Tylers Coffees® into Natural Grocers. Outline of This Episode How to tell whether you’re “entrepreneuring” correctly [4:01] Why growing a business is like raising a child [7:24] Shipping coffee from a bedroom [14:21] The one question Tyler asks aspiring entrepreneurs [19:05] An easy way to test your product’s viability [27:17] The retail side of selling [37:17] From sixty employees to two [49:18] Resources & People Mentioned https://tylerscoffees.com/ Tylers Coffees on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tylersacidfreecoffee/ Tylers Coffees on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TylersCoffee/ Tylers Coffees on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tylerscoffees Email Tylers Coffees at contact@tylerscoffees.com Music for “Just The Tips” is titled, “Happy Happy Game Show” by Kevin MacLeod (http://incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License Connect With James and Dean James P.

With all of the speculation about which way the FDA is going with CBD, we invited Michael McGuffin, president of the American Herbal Products Association for the last 20 years (minus 2 days as of today) to talk with us about his interaction with the FDA and his thoughts on the topic. Michael shared his insight with us and how the FDA can help both the industry and the consumer through using the dietary supplement regulations to govern CBD and how it actually already covers it in the existing regulations.

https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/killercells My guest on today's podcast, Jonathan Clinthorne, PhD, has an intimate knowledge regarding the role that diet plays in immune function. Although it flies under the radar in nutrition science, the idea that certain nutrients can interact with the function of a type of cell known as a natural killer (NK) cell is very unique, an enchanting concept and certainly cutting edge, especially when you consider the role of mTOR activators such as leucine, and mTOR suppressors such as calorie restriction and intermittent fasting on NK cell maturation and function. Dr. Clinthorne is an ultra-endurance athlete who was awarded his PhD in Human Nutrition from Michigan State University.

Tim Joseph had no farming experience. He had never even milked a cow. In 2004, he received a fast education when sixty-four cows stepped off the trailers onto his land. Thrown into the fire, Tim and his wife Laura started selling milk while Tim worked a full-time corporate job from home. In 2009, they went "all in", opened a storefront and transitioned to making dairy products, like yogurt and cheese. And the company started to grow.. Over a two-year span from 2011-2013, Maple Hill Creamery went from being on shelf in about 600 stores—mostly independents in the Northeast—to over 6,000 stores, including Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, Target, Walmart, Ahold, Safeway, Natural Grocers, EarthFare, and many others. Tim is also committed to building the Maple Hill Milkshed, the community of nearly eighty 100% grass-fed dairy farms in New York. A fun, incredible success story. I had a lot of questions for Tim: Working from home and dairy farming on the side, how did you manage your time? How did you make the transition from conventional dairy to organic grass-fed dairy? How did you manage the fear of stepping out and doing something different? What's a day like on the farm? Cow milking 101? Why does grass fed dairy make sense? What was the initial response to "grass fed dairy? How did you manage growth from 600 to 6000 stores? What were the keys to such rapid growth? How do you view trade shows from a P/L perspective? How is yogurt made? What about Greek yogurt? When is it time to go "all-in" with your food startup? What questions do you need to ask yourself? Will you hire robots to milk cows? (note: this is already happening!) Selected links from the show: Maple Hill Creamery Pennsylvania Certified Organic This is Maple Hill

How Much Sun Is Too Much? David says: Firstly, thank you for all the great information you provide. Secondly, he has a question in relation to dermatology. Being summer, he's started to spend more time in the sun to make sure his vitamin D levels are on point. He rarely uses sunscreen, instead deciding to titrate up his sun exposure as the season goes on. Lately he's been noticing he's not getting burnt but developing nice coloring when he spends 1-2 hours in the sun. However, he is noticing a growth in freckles and moles. Can you speak to how this happens and the mechanisms that drive the growth of moles and freckles on the skin. In my response, I recommend: Does A Sauna Shrink Your Sperm?

He's been testing and trying to see where it's at as far as particle size goes, and was told today he has high count of small particles size, the ones that cause problems. His 9 year old son was in for his yearly checkup and they tested his cholesterol and it was also high. The doctor said if they don't get a handle on it in the next 6 months they want to put him on statan drugs, which Rick went on 10 years ago and experienced bad side effects. They refuse to put their child on it, so they're just trying to figure out how to stack the deck in their favor as they navigate the healthcare system. Any advice on how to live a long and healthy live with the elevated cholesterol levels? In my response, I recommend: - How To Stop Grinding Your Teeth Gina says: She's a long time listener. She was recently diagnosed with grinding her teeth at night, and western medicine's only solution to that is to design a plastic mouth guard, so she's still grinding her teeth, just not on the enamel. If you google the average recommendations are reduce caffeine, alcohol and levels of stress, and she's already working on all three.

Toxins in Your Deodorant with Sarah Isley is the topic on Exploring Mind and Body. I asked Sarah to come on because after designing your own clean product like Sarah has you know the ins and outs of the industry, you know the time and effort it takes to develop a product and you know the ingredients it takes to find out what works, what others are using and how you can improve on what's out there today. Who is Sarah Isely? We are 8 siblings raised with the philosophy that what you do to your body matters. Everything you put in or on your body either nourishes or sabotages your health. Our grandma was a pioneer in health in the 50's and she taught us well. Because of this legacy, health and sustainability became more than a passion for us, it's become the only way to live. One problem has been finding products that don't compromise beauty for health, let's face it! they both matter. We were unwilling to smell bad no matter what, and we could not find a natural deodorant that worked at all. We decided to make one, and make sure it worked so well that we could quit drugs (aluminum, triclosan) and still have a social life. We did it. We now hand it over to you for the same purpose. In life we believe in being real, and really caring. Always being passionate and keeping the balance. Healthy is our lifestyle, people are our passion. More details about Sarah and her company Lone Deodorant. Show Notes: how grandma started the family into healthy living and ignited a family run chain of health food stores (LOVE this story) what you surround yourself with is what your health will be Vitamin Cottage to Natural Grocers why to stay away from conventional deodorants what toxins are in regular deodorants what you put under your arms toxic substances and lymph nodes *** This Show is Brought to you in part by: Detoxify Yourself  Thank you so much for your interest in this show of Exploring Mind and Body, if you haven't done so already please take a moment and leave a quick rating and review of the show in iTunes by clicking below.
