I met Hope in the Love Your Liver forum at Nutrition Detective, created by Dr. Garrett Smith who I've interviewed here as well. When I first started the course I had a lot of questions and Hope often popped up to generously assist, as did many there. Because when you learn a good thing, and you have a Nurturer's spirit, you often want others to have it too.In this interview Hope is going to share her personal experience of having transformed her health. As the mother of six young ones she will share first hand what loving your liver does for a pregnancy, birth, and the health of the child. She will share what has changed over the years she's been on a low poison diet, and what inspired her to become a practitioner helping others with it.Because I've heard her talk about making DIY low-toxin body products, I'm also going to get her to share a few guidelines on making your own, because detoxing can be hell on the skin in the shorter term, and low toxin products are just not available except as single ingredients.Hope's bio:I am a mother of six, a homesteader, and a health facilitator for Nutrition Detective. Health has been a big part of my life and I have always wanted to help people truly heal. I lost faith in conventional medicine at a young age because they never knew how to help me. As a researcher I like to know the why's, the causes of things, and how things work.

In this episode, we're exploring what it means to truly nourish what you've planted—energetically, emotionally, and physically. If you've been feeling like you're in a season of waiting or wondering if your intentions are taking root, this is your reminder that growth often happens in the unseen. I'm sharing the simple practices I've been returning to lately—like drinking more water, getting to bed earlier, and feeding my mind with inspiring books and audiobooks—as ways to come back into alignment and embodiment. We'll also talk about Gemini season and how its energy invites us to get curious again, to nourish the mind, and to explore the sacred in the small steps.

Episode 2574: Rachel Jones highlights how a minimalist playroom not only reduces clutter but also boosts children's creativity, attention spans, and emotional wellbeing. Drawing from personal experience and research, she shows that fewer toys lead to more imaginative play, less sibling conflict, and a deeper appreciation for each item they own. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://nourishingminimalism.com/minimalist-playroom-better-kids/ Quotes to ponder: "Every night we would pick-up, tossing toys in the closet and into the toy box so I didn't suffer from a Lego-related accident in the middle of the night." "The quality of the children's play seemed to be better when fewer toys were available." "It was really quite amazing how much time kids can play with one toy and the only difference was removing the 50 other similar toys from their room." Learn more about your ad choices.

Feeling stuck AF? You're not broken — your intuition's just been on mute. Today, I'm chatting with the amazing Isabel Chiara to uncover how to stop sabotaging yourself, trust your gut again, and actually nourish your mind, body, and soul — without feeling like you're a DIY project that needs constant fixing. We're swerving off the usual path and getting real about what's actually driving your behaviors. (Hint: It's not your willpower, it's not your macros, and it's definitely not a broken metabolism.) Inside this episode, Isabel and I dig into: ✨ Why ignoring your gut keeps you stuck (and how to trust it again) ✨ How one playground insult can haunt you for decades (and how to finally let it go) ✨ How to shift your vibe from "I suck" ➡️ "I'm magical AF" ✨ Why the scale needs to lose your number (and how to break up with it for good) ✨ How “nourish” became Isabel's power word for radical mindset shifts ✨ The real reason you reach for unlimited carbs (spoiler: it's not because you're weak)   PLUS — Isabel shares her Nourish App — a simple, powerful way to rewire old patterns without spending the next 10 years in therapy. (She's even giving you a FREE month to try it out — don't sleep on this!) If your brain's been stuck on the same struggle-bus loop, this episode is the permission slip you didn't know you needed.

Send us a textAt a time when anxiety and depression rates are soaring across all age groups, Dr. Mark Pettus cuts through the noise with revelatory insights into how our daily choices shape our mental landscape. This compelling exploration connects the dots between what's on your plate, how you move through your day, and the remarkable resilience of your brain.Dr. Pettus introduces the concept of allostatic load—how our bodies interpret and respond to environmental stressors—and reveals why our modern lifestyle creates the perfect storm for mental health challenges. Rather than viewing mood disorders as purely psychological phenomena, he presents compelling evidence that insulin resistance, inflammation, and disrupted circadian rhythms form the physiological foundation of many mental health struggles.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Dr. Pettus explains how rapid blood sugar fluctuations can trigger symptoms indistinguishable from anxiety attacks. That afternoon panic might actually be the aftermath of your lunch choices! Through practical nutritional principles focused on whole foods, lower glycemic options, and nutrient density, he offers actionable strategies to support neuroplasticity—your brain's remarkable ability to generate new cells and neural pathways throughout life.Beyond diet, we discover how Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF)—essentially "miracle grow for the brain"—can be boosted through movement (especially dancing!), natural light exposure, time in nature, and specific foods. The gut-brain connection emerges as another critical pathway, with our microbiome directly influencing neurotransmitter production and mood regulation. Most empowering is the concept of metabolic flexibility—how developing your body's ability to efficiently switch between fuel sources enhances both cognitive function and emotional stability.Weaving together ancestral wisdom with cutting-edge neuroscience, Dr. Pettus presents a holistic framework that honors our evolutionary design while navigating modern challenges. This isn't about quick fixes or magic pills—it's about building sustainable resilience through aligned lifestyle choices that activate our innate capacity for wellbeing.Ready to rewire your approach to mental health? Listen now and discover how small, strategic shifts in your daily habits can transform your mind, mood, and quality of life. Your brain was designed to thrive—learn how to give it what it truly needs.For PowerPoint slide deck: www.thehealthedgepodcast.comFor Essential Provisions Meals Ready to Eat (MREs): www.essentialprovisions.com

Welcome Ginny Noce, the Women's Health RN with a masters in nutrition science & functional medicine, to The Hormone Genius Podcast. In Ginny's own words from a blog she wrote below, here is why Ginny became passionate about helping women balance their hormones! If her story speaks to you then you will NOT want to miss this episode. Ginny is a genius, really. She has an incredible amount of practical wisdom to share and free information that you can start implementing in your health journey today. It all started with a desire to: – Lose a little weight – Clear up my skin – Have regular bowel movements Back in high school, I was breaking out regularly, trying to lose ten pounds, and relying on laxatives just to go to the bathroom. That's what led me down the rabbit hole of conventional medicine, where I experienced things like: -Appointments with a gastroenterologist who told me to eat more Cheerios and take Miralax daily – Being prescribed birth control by my PCP for acne – Eating 1,200 calories a day and running 1–2 miles daily to drop weight And honestly, those things kind of worked. Yes, I lost weight—but my digestive issues got worse. My skin was only clear as long as I stayed on the pill. And overall, I just felt awful. So I stopped birth control cold turkey. That's when everything fell apart. My face broke out into full-blown, inflamed cystic acne. My cycles never regulated themselves. And I was still dependent on Miralax just to go to the bathroom. After two more years of struggling, I was finally diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and given three options: – Go back on birth control – Start spironolactone – Try a keto diet I was overwhelmed and frustrated. I didn't want to go back on medication, and I certainly didn't want to keep treating symptoms without getting to the root. I thought to myself, There has to be a better way. And it turns out—there was. That's when I discovered food as medicine. I won't get into every diet or supplement I experimented with, but from the start, I focused on real, whole foods. Slowly but surely, my symptoms began to improve. That progress ignited my deep, burning passion for nutrition and women's health. Some major turning points from there: – Reading Dr. Jolene Brighten's Beyond the Pill Learning about cycle charting through FEMM—and eventually working for them as the lead nurse in their endocrinology and fertility telehealth clinic, where I also became a certified Fertility Awareness Instructor. Diving deeper into functional medicine and root cause approaches, which led me to earn my Master's Degree in Functional Medicine and Human Nutrition from the University of Western States After years of struggling and researching endlessly, I can now say: – My skin is 99% clear, with only the occasional breakout – My digestion is solid—I haven't dealt with constipation or bloating in over two years – My cycles are regulated, my PCOS is in remission, and I was able to conceive naturally—twice (I now have 2 girls ages 4 & 1.5) Link to where you can find guides & applications to work with my team. https://www.instagram.com/thewomenshealthrn/ Get a ton of Ginny's Freebie Hormonal Health Guides here! https://thewomenshealthrn.myflodesk.com/freebie ✨MASTERING YOUR HORMONAL HEALTH

These fabrics leach hormone-disrupting chemicals and microplastics straight into our skin, right over our reproductive organs. It's not just fashion—it's fertility warfare." What are your thoughts on this??

Feel like nothing's changing no matter how hard you try? Before you give up, listen to this. In this episode, we talk about the quiet kind of healing—the kind that starts beneath the surface. You'll learn what's actually happening in your body when you start changing your habits, even if you don't see results yet. Because just because you can't feel it, doesn't mean it's not working.

Are you a little tired of talking about all the foods you shouldn't eat?I know I am! (Even if I'm guilty of it from time to time.)Today, on Episode #149 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, I'm talking with award-winning holistic nutritionist, speaker, writer, and researcher Lorene Sauro.Lorene is known for her ability to read, interpret, and translate research into practical, usable solutions that help her fellow practitioners support their clients with more confidence.With a BA from the University of Waterloo and substantial culinary training, Lorene brings both science and soul to the world of food and wellness.We are exploring:Why we might be eliminating entire food groups based on fads or fear, and how that affects our joy and nutrient intake.How our awareness during eating (taste, texture, satisfaction) can transform our relationship with food.How so many nutrition studies miss the real picture: We don't eat foods in isolation. It's the combinations, the context, and our unique biology that matter.What I loved most about this conversation is how deeply we dive into our relationship with food — especially during this chapter of life when we finally have more time and wisdom to question, explore, and reconnect with how food truly nourishes and satisfies us.Join us for an informative and empowering chat!Love,Lorrie xoxoxConnect with Lorene:LinkedIn: Lorene Sauro RNSubstack: @sauroInstagram: lorene_sauroLoving the show?

This week's show is with Dr. Daniel M. Ingram, MD MSPH, a retired emergency medicine physician who works to improve the global relationship of science, clinical practice, mental health and the public to the phenomena that might be referred to as spiritual, meditative, energetic, mystical, psychedelic, magical, and related phenomena. To those ends, he is currently the founder, philanthropic supporter, and volunteer CEO and Board Chair of the Emergence Benefactors registered charity, and chief organizer and co-founder of the global Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium. He is currently involved in neurophenomenological research of advanced meditative states with colleagues at Harvard and has been a participant in numerous fMRI and EEG studies of advanced meditators, including at Harvard, Yale, U Mass, and Vanderbilt. He has published scientific articles in Pediatrics, Child Abuse and Neglect, and the Journal of Medical Toxicology. He is the author of Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha, co-author of The Fire Kasina, and co-founder of the Dharma Overground. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Esquire, Vice, Wired, BBC Radio 4, Evolving Dharma, American Dharma: Buddhism Beyond Modernity, Dan Harris' 10% Happier Podcast, Slate Star Codex Blog, Buddha at the Gas Pump, Meaning of Life TV, Deconstructing Yourself, Spiritual Explained website, Guru Viking, Buddhist Geeks, Cosmic Tortoise, Startup Geometry, Imperfect Buddha Podcast, and many others. In this conversation, Lian and Daniel explore what awakening really means, weaving between the modern non-duality and Neo-Vedanta ideas such as "you're already awake" and the more structured progressive paths, filled with stages, techniques, and deepening insights. They gently reveal the hidden challenges and the powerful gifts each path offers, opening up a conversation that's both timeless and deeply relevant. Lian shares how awakening can happen spontaneously, profoundly reshaping lives, while Daniel draws from his extensive experience in various spiritual communities and traditions. Together, they explore the subtle nuances of spiritual growth, shadow integration, and the vital practice of staying present to this very moment. Their personal experiences effortlessly blend with mythic and traditional wisdom, highlighting the beautiful paradox of human growth. They also discuss practical tools like the five Buddha families, attachment styles, and why working with our shadows is essential. Daniel stresses how important personalised practice and honest community feedback are on this journey. Their conversation gently challenges the seductive myth of spiritual perfectionism, offering instead a grounded, compassionate invitation towards continual transformation and deeper self-awareness. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What You'll Learn From This Episode: How clearly seeing the strengths and limits of modern non-dual teachings and progressive spiritual approaches helps you create a spiritual practice that's deeply meaningful, nourishing, and aligned with who you really are. Why recognising and embracing your shadows—those hidden emotional patterns and parts of yourself—is essential for reclaiming your wholeness, bringing more emotional freedom and a deeper sense of authenticity.
