Podcasts about nourishing

When you are trying to conceive, few topics feel more overwhelming, or more contradictory, than nutrition. In this episode, Michelle sits down with registered dietitian Lisa Moskovitz, founder of The NY Nutrition Group and author of The Core 3 Healthy Eating Plan, for a grounded and refreshingly realistic conversation about how food actually supports fertility. Lisa shares her own path to motherhood, which included irregular cycles, PCOS-like symptoms, pregnancy loss, and eventually three children through a mix of IUI, IVF, and natural conception. Drawing on that lived experience and years of clinical work, she offers a nuanced look at what truly moves the needle. Together they talk about why being too restrictive can work against fertility, the research behind Mediterranean-style eating and full-fat dairy, the nutrients that support egg quality, how digestion determines whether your body can even use the food you eat, and why meal timing and your circadian rhythm matter more than most people realize. This is a conversation about doing less of the wrong things, meeting your body where it is, and finding a middle ground you can actually live with. Key Takeaways: •  Nutrition genuinely supports fertility, but the aim is nourishment and balance, not perfection or control. •  Extremes on either end backfire. Being too restrictive, too underweight, or over-exercising can disrupt hormones as much as the opposite. •  Mediterranean-style eating with full-fat dairy has the strongest research behind it for fertility and hormone health. •  Digestion matters as much as the food. A food is only as healthy as your body can absorb it, so bloating and GI issues are worth addressing. •  Simple foundations move the needle most: a few fertility-friendly foods (avocado, whole eggs, lentils, wild salmon, leafy greens), a twelve-hour overnight window instead of aggressive fasting, and a prenatal started a few months before conceiving. Guest Bio: Lisa Moskovitz, RD, is the founder of The NY Nutrition Group, a large group nutrition practice in NYC, and the author of The Core 3 Healthy Eating Plan, a guide to finding your healthiest, happiest weight. As an experienced dietitian based in Manhattan, Lisa has first-hand insight into what people struggle with the most and what moves the needle. She has a no-nonsense, evidence-based, and realistic approach to nutrition that sets her apart from the average influencer. Lisa also speaks from personal experience, having navigated her own fertility journey through irregular cycles, pregnancy loss, and ultimately three children.

Send us Fan MailWhat if you have spiritual helpers around you—and you've been receiving their guidance without realizing it?In this episode of Nourishing the Soul, Dr. Sondra Adler and TNT SpiritWorks explore the fascinating world of angels, spiritual helpers, intuition, and inner guidance.Dr. Adler shares her spiritual perspective that each of us has helpers who support us throughout our journey and help us stay connected to our life purpose. But how do we recognize them? And how do we know when they're trying to get our attention?We explore experiences people often associate with spiritual guidance—from goosebumps, chills, warmth, first impressions, and intuitive knowing to those moments when something inside simply says, “Pay attention.”You'll also hear personal stories about communicating with spiritual helpers and why Dr. Adler believes children may naturally recognize their helpers before adults teach them to dismiss those experiences as imagination.This conversation invites you to explore:Are you listening to everyone else's opinions—or are you making space to hear your own inner guidance?Whether you call them angels, guides, helpers, or spiritual companions, this episode may inspire you to become more aware of the subtle ways you experience guidance in your everyday life.Readings with Dr. Sandra AdlerGet book 1 hereGet book 2 hereGet book 3 hereGet book 4 hereGet book 5 hereGet book 6 hereGet book 7 hereGet book 8 hereReAwaken Silver MembershipReAwaken Gold MembershipUse code TNT20 to get 20% off the membership.

This week, we're diving into the everyday food of two of the world's best food cities, Hong Kong and New Orleans. First, chef Lucas Sin joins us to talk about the iconic dishes found at a cha chaan teng, a casual Hong Kong-style food diner. Dishes like scrambled egg sandwiches, delicious milk teas, and golden rice, all born from limited pantry ideas and reinvented with kitchen hacks and techniques. Lucas Sin is the author of Cha Chaan Teng: Comfort Food from Hong Kong's Iconic Diners. He left us with his recipe for the Hong Kong classic, Baked Pork Chop Rice. Then, we turn to the origins of the food scene in one of America's great food cities, New Orleans, with historian Dr. Ashley Rose Young. She walks us through the history of the public markets, tells us about New Orleans' most iconic street vendors like Mr. Okra, and how street food shaped New Orleans' culture and cuisine.

On this episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I sit down with Ken Swartz, also known as Ken the Scientist, to explore a molecule that has quietly become one of the most fascinating topics in cellular health: Carbon 60, or C60. Ken shares his origin story, from directing a fusion research project to discovering C60 as a radiation protectant, and the unexpected shift in his own health that redirected the course of his work. We talk about what C60 actually is, a naturally occurring carbon molecule found in meteorite impacts and formed in the atmospheres of stars, and how it works at the level of the mitochondria, the tiny engines that power every cell in the body. From a fertility perspective, this conversation feels especially relevant. Ken explains how mitochondrial function connects to egg and sperm health, hormone production, inflammation, and metabolic balance, all areas that matter deeply when you are trying to conceive. We also explore the beautiful overlap with Chinese medicine and the way it understands Qi, the vital energy that moves through the body. Whether you are on your own path to conception or simply love understanding how the body works, this episode offers a grounded, science-based look at cellular health and why it matters. As always, this is a conversation meant to inform and support you, never to replace the guidance of your own care team. Key Takeaways: C60 is a naturally occurring molecule made of 60 carbon atoms. It forms in nature through meteorite impacts, lightning strikes, and the atmospheres of red stars, and is often described as one of the earliest antioxidants of life. It works at the cellular level as an SOD and catalase mimic, supporting the mitochondria, the energy centers inside your cells. Healthy mitochondria influence nearly everything: energy, hormone production, inflammation, and the quality of eggs and sperm. Because hormone precursors are made in the mitochondria, supporting mitochondrial function may help the whole endocrine system work more efficiently, which can matter for cycle regularity and fertility. Ken shares anecdotal reports connected to fertility, including unexpected pregnancies and healthy babies born to women in their 40s. C60 is not a cure and does not replace the basics. Nourishing food, clean water, rest, and nervous system care still do the foundational work. Ken describes it as one supportive tool in the toolkit. Purity and testing matter. Ken notes that many supplements are mislabeled, so third-party tested, high purity sourcing is essential. About the guest: Ken Swartz, known as Ken the Scientist, was working on radiation and fusion research when he experienced a result that did not fit the science he trusted. With a background in economics, education, and leading multiple research laboratories, his work led him into projects connected to radiation and the MOXY fusion reactor. During that time, he began using Carbon 60 as a radiation protectant, something he already understood from earlier scientific research. A few months in, he started noticing unexpected shifts in his energy and overall health. About eight months later, a routine eye exam revealed that a previously identified age-related vision issue was no longer visible, something his optometrist had never seen before. That moment, in 2016, led Ken to dedicate his work to the research, study, and production of Carbon 60. Today he is co-founder of C60 Power, a company focused on producing high purity C60 using certified organic oils and a clean, solvent-free process. At the core of his work is a simple belief: your health is your responsibility, and people have more influence over how they feel and function than they have been led to believe.

It's easy to feel like you're constantly getting new rules about what to eat, how much to eat, and what your body should look like, especially as you move through midlife and your body begins to change. But what if the answer isn't another diet or set of restrictions, but learning to listen to and nourish your body instead? That's exactly what I wanted to explore with registered dietitian and women's wellness expert Lee Cotton as we talk about how our relationship with food evolves, how our nutritional needs change in midlife, and what it looks like to nourish ourselves without all the rules and restrictions.Together, we unpack the noise around protein, carbohydrates, gut health, and supplements while exploring what a non-diet approach can actually look like in everyday life. You'll walk away with practical ways to advocate for your health, bring more variety and enjoyment to your plate, and let go of some of the food rules you may have been carrying for years.You'll Learn:How to recognize the food stories you may have carried from childhood and begin creating a different relationship with foodWhy your nutritional needs change with age and how to approach those changes without automatically turning to restrictionWays to move beyond the “protein is everything” mindset and make room for carbohydrates, fiber, fruits, vegetables, and varietyWhat gut health and the microbiome have to do with overall well-being and why variety mattersHow to stop using exercise as permission to eat and reconnect movement with enjoyment and self-carePractical strategies for becoming your own health advocate, including asking questions, understanding your labs, and seeking qualified nutrition adviceWhat a non-diet approach really means and how allowing all foods can create more freedom, awareness, and enjoyment around eatingLinks & Resources:Email me at amy@fearlesslyfacingfifty.com with the subject line LIST to get on the list so you'll be the first to know when my newest book Creating the Right-Sized Life comes out in the worldConnect with Lee:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leecottonnutrition/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Leecottonnutrition/Website: https://www.leecottonnutrition.com/ Get Lee's new book, Nourishing Perspective: Reconnect with Your Inner Voice and Harmonize Your Relationship with Food:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GTTTBDTK/ Get a copy of Amy's Best selling book: CANNONBALL!

In the previous episode, I talked about my first two philosophy shifts when it comes to how I feed my own kids and talk about picky eating. We dealt with the "no thank-you bite" and how/when to serve dessert. I'm truly grateful for the professionals who helped me change my thinking and my ways!Today, we'll dive into three other mindset changes I've had when it comes to feeding kids. The first has to do with introducing foods to babies, which isn't actually a part of The Picky Eater Playbook—but it's still something to consider and an important first step for parents!Then we will get into how our food looks (does it matter?) and briefly touch on kids who really WOULD starve themselves if they aren't served certain foods. You'll learn:why I think eczema and food sensitivities might have been caused by Paul and Leah's first foodswhat first foods I think work best for babieswhy I started rethinking "you don't taste with your eyes" and how cute foods might actually be more appealing to childrenwhat working with 20,000 families taught me about my stance that kids will eat eventually, they won't starveand why the laid-back way I wrote The Picky Eater Playbook means you will probably be able to adapt it for your family!I'm outlining all the pre-order bonuses for you, too, so make sure to listen or watch to the end of the episode. I sure hope you'll think it's worthwhile to pre-order a copy of the book and delve into making dinnertime a more peaceful time for your whole family.You deserve that, Mom, and so do your kids!

What kind of anger are you nourishing?In this week's readings, Sirach offers a striking image: “the sinner hugs” wrath and anger tightly. But not all anger is destructive. Sometimes anger wakes us up, moves us toward justice, gives us courage, or helps us speak up for ourselves and others. Other times, anger becomes resentment, bitterness, or rage—and the more we feed it, the more it takes hold of us.So how do we tell the difference?In this episode of the Providence Podcast, we explore the many flavors of anger and consider what might be underneath it: hurt, anxiety, sadness, fear, wounded pride, or even a call from God to act. When we can name what is stirring in us, we may be better able to discern whether God is calling us toward action, mercy, healing, forgiveness—or letting go.What kind of anger are you nourishing?

In this conversation, we explore self-worth, the inner critic, imposter syndrome, negative self-talk, emotional healing, and how to change the beliefs that keep you stuck.

Rather than allowing the mind to analyze and second-guess everything, she describes the intellect as an incredible tool that helps us organize, communicate, and bring our inner impressions into action.And this may be especially important for children.What if instead of always telling a child what to think, we asked:“What was your first impression?”Helping children recognize those first impressions can encourage greater self-trust, confidence, intuition, and independent thinking as they grow.And for adults, this episode raises an equally powerful question:Are you using your intellect as a tool—or has your intellect become the boss?Get book 1 hereGet book 2 hereGet book 3 hereGet book 4 hereGet book 5 hereFind out more about working with Dr. Sandra Adler hereSupport yourself spiritually and the next generation through your own exploration of yourself each day, week and month.Use code TNT20 to get 20% off the membership.

Episode Summary Should women with osteopenia or osteoporosis take calcium supplements? In this episode, Debi Robinson welcomes clinical pharmacist Jennifer Han, co-founder of Seen Nutrition, to explore why calcium remains one of the most important nutrients for bone health—and why the form of calcium matters. Jennifer shares her personal journey after experiencing pregnancy and lactation-associated osteoporosis in her thirties and explains how that experience inspired her to help create a food-based calcium option. Together, Debi and Jennifer discuss calcium intake, digestion, nutrient absorption, common supplement forms, and why whole-food nutrition should remain the foundation of bone health. What You'll Learn Why calcium is essential for bone health Jennifer Han's personal osteoporosis story The difference between dietary calcium and traditional calcium supplements Common forms of supplemental calcium Why digestion affects calcium absorption The potential impact of long-term acid-suppressing medications on nutrient absorption Why food provides more than calcium alone How food-based calcium differs from conventional supplements Why protein, vitamin D, vitamin K, and magnesium all support healthy bones Practical ways to increase calcium intake Action Steps Track your calcium intake from food for a few days. Prioritize calcium-rich whole foods throughout the day. Support healthy digestion by slowing down and eating mindfully. Review long-term medications with your healthcare provider if appropriate. Remember that calcium works alongside protein, vitamin D, magnesium, and vitamin K. Choose supplements thoughtfully and focus on quality. Debi's Takeaway Calcium is essential—but healthy bones require much more than one nutrient. Nourishing your body with whole foods, supporting digestion, and creating healthy daily habits gives your bones the best opportunity to stay strong throughout life.

WonderCow is running a Labor Day Sale! Don't miss out and go this this link https://affiliates.wondercow.com/HORMONEGENIUS. We recently recorded an episode with Erica Diebersloot of Wonder Cow, who is three months postpartum with her fifth child. The conversation centered around her postpartum experience, breastfeeding, colostrum, nutrition, and practical strategies for managing motherhood and a large family. Erica shared that she has experienced a particularly smooth postpartum recovery, which she attributes in part to prioritizing a nutrient-dense diet, supplements such as beef liver, postnatal vitamins and colostrum, and making sleep a priority. She also discussed using gentle sleep-training strategies and shared that her baby began sleeping through the night around six weeks. A particularly interesting part of the conversation was our discussion about breastfeeding and the remarkable biological communication between mother and baby. Erica highlighted the feedback loop that occurs during breastfeeding, where a baby's latch and interaction with the breast can communicate information to the mother's body and help support the production of immune components and antibodies that meet the baby's needs. We also discussed why colostrum is often called "liquid gold," including its distinctive golden color and concentrated nutritional and immune-supportive properties. Erica noted that components of colostrum can continue to be present in breast milk even months postpartum. The conversation also included some practical and creative uses for breast milk that Erica has incorporated into family life. She shared using it topically for things such as diaper rash and poison oak, as well as using it as a natural facial cream. She has also added breast milk to smoothies for older children as an additional nutritional and immune-supportive boost. Motherhood, Large-Family Life & Practical Strategies Erica emphasized that one of the keys to managing motherhood is learning to be present while also accepting personal limitations. Rather than trying to do everything perfectly, she shared practical strategies that help make life with a large family more manageable. These included keeping pre-boiled eggs available for a quick source of protein, teaching older children how to prepare simple meals and take on more responsibility, and creating what she calls a "Breastfeeding Basket." The basket contains a rotating selection of special toys that are brought out specifically during breastfeeding sessions, giving toddlers something engaging to do while Mom feeds the baby. These practical conversations helped reinforce the broader message of the episode: supporting women during pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, and motherhood requires not only good nutrition but also realistic strategies that make healthy choices more sustainable within the demands of everyday family life.

Send us Fan MailTogether, we explore a fascinating spiritual perspective on sleep, the soul, our spiritual home, and the connection between our physical and spiritual selves.Dr. Adler shares her perspective on the silver cord, the energetic connection believed in some spiritual traditions to remain with us while we sleep, and how children may naturally sense or understand aspects of the unseen world that adults have learned to question.We also explore how parents and grandparents can create space for children to talk about their dreams, intuitive experiences, spiritual awareness, and inner knowing—without immediately defining those experiences for them.In Episode Three of the Nourishing the Soul Podcast Series, Teresa Shantz continues her conversation with Dr. Sandra Adler, author of Me and My Universe: A Spiritual Encyclopedia for Children, as they explore Book Three: My Home.Together, they look at home from a spiritual perspective and explore how parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers can help children understand belonging, connection, their spiritual self, and their place within the larger universeRather than telling children what they should believe, this conversation encourages adults to become curious about what children already feel, sense, see, and know.What happens when we ask a child questions—and then truly listen to the answers?My Home offers another opportunity to create meaningful conversations with children while encouraging them to trust their own inner awareness.✨ Because perhaps home isn't only somewhere we live.

If you've wondered why moms feel more anxious, overwhelmed, and reactive after 40, you're not alone. Hormonal changes can affect your brain, stress response, and parenting in surprising ways. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge shares how Regulation First Parenting™ helps families navigate emotional dysregulation with confidence and calm.Parenting is already demanding, but when perimenopause enters the picture, many moms suddenly find themselves feeling exhausted, forgetful, short-tempered, and emotionally overwhelmed.In this episode with hormone expert Dr. Mariza, we unpack the science behind these changes and share practical ways to support your brain, hormones, and nervous system. It's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain navigating a major biological transition.Why do moms feel more anxious, overwhelmed, and reactive after 40?Perimenopause is more than changing hormones—it's a major neuroendocrine transition that directly impacts brain function, stress resilience, memory, and emotional regulation.As estrogen fluctuates, the brain has to work harder, making everyday parenting feel much more difficult.A mom who once handled school drop-offs, work meetings, and bedtime with ease may suddenly find herself snapping over spilled milk or forgetting simple words. That doesn't mean she's failing—it means her biology is changing.Key takeaways:Hormones affect the brain—not just reproduction.Irritability is one of the earliest signs of perimenopause.You didn't lose your ability to cope—your brain needs more support.

Can eating "healthy" actually make your thyroid symptoms worse? In this episode, Dr. Eric Balcavage continues his series on rhythms and thyroid physiology by exploring one of the most overlooked aspects of thyroid recovery: the signals your eating patterns send to your body. Many people with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's focus on what they eat... cutting gluten, dairy, carbohydrates, or calories... in hopes of improving their thyroid health. But what if the bigger issue isn't food quality... it's whether your body feels consistently nourished? Dr. Eric explains why meal timing, energy availability, carbohydrate intake, and overall fueling patterns can significantly influence thyroid physiology. He also discusses why strategies like intermittent fasting, chronic calorie restriction, low-carb diets, and training in a fasted state may be helpful for some people—but may reinforce a protective, energy-conserving state in others. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your body responds to food availability, not just food quality How meal timing and consistent fueling influence thyroid physiology Why intermittent fasting isn't appropriate for everyone The difference between nourishing your body and signaling scarcity How chronic calorie restriction and under-fueling can affect metabolism and thyroid function Why carbohydrates aren't inherently "good" or "bad" - context matters How blood sugar stability is about more than avoiding glucose spikes A practical nutrition hierarchy for supporting thyroid recovery Questions to help you evaluate whether your current eating pattern is building capacity or creating more stress If you've been eating "clean," cutting calories, or following strict nutrition rules but still struggle with fatigue, brain fog, cold intolerance, poor recovery, or stubborn thyroid symptoms, this episode offers a different perspective on what your body may actually need.

In this popular re-aired episode, Alison talks with Cathy Christen about self-care through the lens of energy, health, and intentional living and their conversation focuses on how nourishing ourselves can come from more than just sleep, food, and exercise.Cathy shares her background in entrepreneurship and explains that after years of pushing hard, she became burnt out and realized that success was not sustainable if she ignored her own wellbeing.They discuss the idea that energy has several parts: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Cathy describes how joy, meaningful relationships, mindfulness, and prayer all contribute to how she feels each day, along with practical habits like time blocking and choosing what matters most.She also explains how her approach changed after having children. Instead of following a rigid routine, she adapted her mornings to include meditation, affirmations, shared family time, and trade-offs with her husband so both of them can care for themselves.They close with practical guidance for listeners who feel overwhelmed. Cathy encourages starting with a clear reason for wanting better health, making a dreams list, finding support through a mentor or community, and being honest about what is draining versus what is life-giving.HIGHLIGHTS:0:06 Energy and Self-Care Reset3:39 Beyond Physical Energy6:04 New Mom, New Routine7:27 Four Kinds of Energy10:01 Fueling What Matters12:48 Finding Your Why15:03 Dream Big, Live Intentionally17:53 Life on Purpose19:22 Delegate the Drain22:04 Forgiveness and Healing25:01 Start With a Mentor27:25 Make Time by Choice29:30 Closing Thoughts on Prioritiesconnect with Cathywebsite: https://cathychristen.comLife As A Masterpiece book: https://a.co/d/06uMkQOWSPONSOR:Cellev8Discount code: THEALISONK ALISON'S LINKS:Website | Facebook | Twitter | InstagramGET MY FREE 4 part Pop-up Podcast SeriesJOIN Borderless Hybrid Innovators FB GroupINNOVATION AVENUE: Fitness and Self-Care Revolution

Proverbs 15:4 (NKJV)A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.I was struck by the picture in Proverbs 15:4. A wholesome, soothing, gentle tongue is compared to a tree of life. One commentary described it this way: "a properly nourished tree grows and provides shade and refreshment for all who seek its shelter."What a contrast to words that are reckless, deceitful, or harsh. Proverbs says they can break or crush the spirit. Most of us have experienced the sting of careless words, but hopefully we have also been strengthened by words that brought comfort, wisdom, and healing at just the right time.We probably all would like to get better with our words (even the ones we think). The good news is that we can learn to speak differently as we follow the example of Jesus. Isaiah describes Him as One Who listened to His Father morning by morning so that He would know “the word that sustains the weary.”As we receive His wisdom, comfort, and instruction, we learn to give the same away. May our words become a tree of life, offering shade, refreshment, healing, and hope to those around us.If you would like to support this podcast with a monthly or one-time gift, thank you!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.sherriyoungward.com/support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To find out about upcoming gatherings and new projects, please join my email list at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.sherriyoungward.com

And almost nobody is talking about it. Catharine Arnston is the founder of Energy Bits, a PhD holder, and the world's leading voice on spirulina and chlorella — the two algae she calls your nutritional and health insurance. She found this world trying to help her sister recover from breast cancer, spent 17 years going deeper into science than anyone else has, and is now nearly 70 years old with more energy, clarity, and vitality than most people half her age. The proof is in everything she says. In this episode, you'll discover:  • Why spirulina's amino acid profile is almost identical to mother's breast milk — and how it protects the mitochondria, clears brain fog, and rebuilds energy at a cellular level without stimulants or crashes  • What chlorella actually does inside the body: pulling out heavy metals, toxins, and excess iron while triggering serotonin production, improving mood, and getting your gut moving  • Why most algae on the market has had its most critical nutrients deactivated — and what to look for to make sure you're getting the real thing Aging is natural. Declining is not.
