Podcasts about Nutrient density

Are you one of the millions of Americans who eat the Standard American Diet? Even if you're not, you're likely at risk of developing pre-diabeties, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation. But, DON'T panic, because today's episode is packed with simple steps to help you take control of your blood sugar and lower your risk of diabetes and chronic disease.On this Salad with a Side of Fries episode, host Jenn Trepeck tackles the hard truth: many people are already pre-diabetic and don't even know it. From hidden insulin resistance to chronic inflammation, Jenn breaks down how the American diet and lifestyle are fueling a national health crisis. You'll learn how poor sleep, stress, a lack of fiber, and nutrient-depleted foods undermine your metabolic health—and what you can do today to take control and manage your risks. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE:(00:00) Why is the Standard American diet the recipe for pre-diabetes and diabetes, and what is insulin resistance(04:18) Metabolic health connects to every system, and the ultra-processed food dilemma(09:48) Why supplements are important(14:30) Everyone is pre-diabetic, unless. Nutrition: protein, fiber, quality fat(21:31) America's fiber problem and the role of the microbiome(26:55) Our society is sedentary(30:35) The impact stress and loneliness can have on your health(34:56) Are you sleep deprived(37:30) Let's talk about the environment and toxins(42:07) If you don't like it, don't eat it and focus on preventionKEY TAKEAWAYS:Most people eating the Standard American Diet are already pre-diabetic due to high consumption of ultra-processed foods, even if their labs don't reflect it yet. Modern farming, soil depletion, and long-distance transport have stripped our food of nutrients, making quality sourcing and supplementation essential.Staying ahead of metabolic disease means taking daily action—moving your body, managing stress, eating well, sleeping, and staying connected.  Even a short walk after a meal can significantly reduce blood sugar spikes. Daily activity improves energy and focus, builds muscle, enhances insulin sensitivity, and monitors glucose levels.Just because a drink is labeled “prebiotic” doesn't mean it replaces real vegetables. Whole fruits and vegetables provide a variety of fibers that support gut health more effectively than most supplements or processed drinks. You can't supplement your way out of poor nutrition. Supplements are only as good as their quality. Many synthetic options don't break down or absorb adequately, making them useless. Food first, then smart supplementation.Chronic stress triggers hormonal changes that lead to insulin resistance and fat storage. The damage builds over time because most people don't recognize their stress. Managing stress is just as crucial as managing diet and exercise.QUOTES:         (08:56) “Our food supply is ripening while in transit, not connected to the vine where nutrients come from.” - Jenn Trepeck(18:54) “Variety is your friend. Eat the rainbow.” - Jenn Trepeck(23:30) “I'm a big fan of supplements, but you cannot supplement your way out of poor nutrition. Food first, then mart supplementation.” - Jenn Trepeck(39:36) “Next time you need to replace a mattress or a pillow. Let's make sure it's a material that isn't going to off-gas toxins.” - Jenn Trepeck"It comes down to default vs design because the way our world is set-up around us, the default would easily be the recipe for pre-diabetes and diabetes. That's why we're here...unless you do this now." - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramMovember: Men's HealthReal People, Real Results: Shannon Nutrition Nugget: Ultra-Processed FoodGMO, Organic, and Local, Oh My!How to Cheat8 Domains of HealthAmerica's Fiber ProblemQ & A: SupplementsTick…Tick…BOOM

Welcome to the last portion of our long form discussion with Dan Kittredge.  In this last third we navigate the need for Generational Healing and Cultural Shifts in our collective culture. The unavoidable reality that the healthiest food for you as an individual can never be bought. Steps for building resilience and Self-Sufficiency, before then going back to Dan's own Journey to Farming and interest in Nutrient Density as well as his current Challenges and plans for the future. 

In this episode we speak with Kish Johnson from Advancing Eco Agriculture about how data-driven tools like SAP analysis and foliar sprays are transforming regenerative farming. Kish shares how farms are eliminating pests and diseases through optimized plant nutrition and improved photosynthesis. The conversation dives into the connection between soil biology, profitability, and nutrient density. Kish also addresses skepticism around ag “products” and offers a humble, science-based approach to farm improvement. The episode wraps with news of a research partnership between AEA and the Market Gardener Institute to adapt these tools for small-scale growers.SponsorsTessier: Use promo code MGI10 for 10% off and free shipping on your first purchase for the Eastern North American regions Farmhand: CSA farmers can set up a complimentary 1:1 strategy session with founder Ari at Timestamps[8:37] The hopeful message of regenerative agriculture[12:17] Understanding the economic “J curve” in farming transitions[19:08] What Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA) actually does for farmers[24:23] Fighting orchard disease with SAP analysis[27:17] Why SAP analysis is like a blood test for plants[31:04] The power of foliar sprays for nutrient uptake[43:27] Increasing photosynthesis for crop resilience and yield[48:23] Nutrient corrections that boost photosynthesis[52:01] The role of seed inoculants and microbial colonization[1:04:16] Insect pressure and the myth of “holes mean healthy”[1:06:00] How protein synthesis deters aphids[1:13:47] Giving farmers real decision-making power through data[1:21:04] Collaboration between AEA and the Market Gardener Institute[1:28:58] Making nutrient density measurable and marketable[1:33:59] “There's no such thing as cheap food” – nutrient density and health[1:36:20] The most common global farming issue Kish observesLinks/ResourcesMarket Gardener Institute:  https://themarketgardener.com/ Masterclass:  https://themarketgardener.com/courses/the-market-gardener-masterclass/ Newsletter:  https://themarketgardener.com/newsletterBlog:  https://themarketgardener.com/blog Books: https://themarketgardener.com/booksGrowers & Co: https://growers.co/Heirloom: https://heirloom.ag/The Old Mill: https://www.espaceoldmill.com/en/Follow UsWebsite: http://themarketgardener.com Facebook: http://facebook.com/marketgardenerinstitute Instagram: http://instagram.com/themarketgardeners Guest Social Media LinksAdvancing Eco Agriculture:Website: https://advancingecoag.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/advancingecoag/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/advancingecoag/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRApdrU3BA0Pzo6MNWTD2jg Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/advancingecoag Podcast: https://regenerativeagriculturepodcast.com/ JM:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeanmartinfortierFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jeanmartinfortier

Giving spotlight to a game-changing snack company that's literally saving our livers one chip at a time (while tasting incredible) — Ancient Crunch. Founder Steven Rofrano started his journey with a simple question: why are we still putting seed oils in everything? This led to Steven challenging himself to create chips that actually nourish, rather than destroy cellular health. Remember: Americans used to spend 30% of their income on food in the 1950s. Today, it's just 11%. We've sacrificed quality for quantity, and our health is paying the price.  MASA CHIPS - GET 20% OFF YOUR FIRST ORDER: https://bit.ly/40LVY4y Join the Ultimate Human VIP community and gain exclusive access to Gary Brecka's proven wellness protocols today!: https://bit.ly/4ai0Xwg Connect with Steven Rofrano: Instagram: https://bit.ly/435ybxf TikTok: https://bit.ly/4j0p9WP X.com: https://bit.ly/3GSTZmS LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/454xu8v Thank you to our partners: H2TABS - USE CODE “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4hMNdgg BODYHEALTH - USE CODE “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: http://bit.ly/4e5IjsV BAJA GOLD - USE CODE "ULTIMATE10" FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3WSBqUa EIGHT SLEEP - SAVE $350 ON THE POD 4 ULTRA WITH CODE “GARY”: https://bit.ly/3WkLd6E COLD LIFE - THE ULTIMATE HUMAN PLUNGE: https://bit.ly/4eULUKp WHOOP - GET 1 FREE MONTH WHEN YOU JOIN!: https://bit.ly/3VQ0nzW VANDY - USE CODE “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: https://bit.ly/49Qr7WE AION - USE CODE “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4h6KHAD HAPBEE - FEEL BETTER & PERFORM AT YOUR BEST: https://bit.ly/4a6glfo CARAWAY - USE CODE “ULTIMATE” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3Q1VmkC HEALF - GET 10% OFF YOUR ORDER: https://bit.ly/41HJg6S BIOPTIMIZERS - USE CODE “ULTIMATE” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4inFfd7 RHO NUTRITION - USE CODE “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: https://bit.ly/44fFza0 GENETIC TEST: ⁠https://bit.ly/3Yg1Uk9 Watch  the “Ultimate Human Podcast” every Tuesday & Thursday at 9AM EST: YouTube: https://bit.ly/3RPQYX8 Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3RQftU0 Connect with Gary Brecka: Instagram: https://bit.ly/3RPpnFs TikTok: https://bit.ly/4coJ8fo X.com: https://bit.ly/3Opc8tf Facebook: https://bit.ly/464VA1H LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4hH7Ri2 Website: https://bit.ly/4eLDbdU Merch: https://bit.ly/4aBpOM1 Newsletter: https://bit.ly/47ejrws Ask Gary: https://bit.ly/3PEAJuG Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:20 Steven Rofrano's Story and Journey to Masa Chips 08:23 Why Remove Seed Oils in Our Diet? 19:27 Non-Organic & GMO-Foods Toxicity  20:34 Founding of Ancient Crunch (Masa Chips) 28:08 Nutrient Density in Foods 32:41 From 30% to 11% Household Budget for Food 35:02 Masa Chips Production vs. Big Snack Industry 39:28 Avoidance of Using Artificial Additives & Preservatives 49:20 Where is Ancient Crunch Going? 52:53 Sourcing of Raw Ingredients 57:07 Final Question: What does it mean to you to be an “Ultimate Human?” The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Today we'll be continuing with the second portion of our long form discussion with Dan Kittredge. In this second third we mostly get into Principles of Biological Systems and how to apply Nature's Patterns in Business. Dan talks about his experience Engaging with Farmers and Large Businesses alike. We dig into his personal Journey, the influence that Eastern Paradigms and Consciousness have had on his world view, the connection of Nutrient Density and Spirituality, and the potential of Technological Tools to be transformed for Empowerment.

One of the discussions that have propelled the awareness of regenerative agriculture in recent years has been that of nutrient density in food, a term coined by Dan Kittredge of the Bionutrient Food Association. The idea that our food varies widely in its quality and levels of nutrients has caused many people to look into the factors that lead to these wide discrepancies. Dan in particular has been leading research, one ingredient at a time, into the causes and correlations that accompany differences in levels of vitamins, minerals, fats, proteins and almost every other known component in the food we eat. Though I've been watching the conversation and developments of this concept and research for years now, I have been waiting to build a decent enough grasp of the topic to be able to guide a meaningful conversation about what has been learned, where the research is going, and what are the potential pitfalls or opportunities for corruption of knowledge and technology that tells us the details of the nutrients in every ingredient we consume. Then a few weeks ago, my good friend Andre Antunes in Portugal introduced me directly to Dan Kittredge through email urging us to connect and have a conversation. I know that Dan does interviews all the time and so I asked him what he would want to talk about that he often doesn't get to explore. He got back to me by saying he'd be most interested in doing a long form discussion in which we have the time to discuss all of the concepts and ideas around the core of his work with the Bionutrient Food Association that both inform the purpose and research but that go into the bigger motivations and theory behind it all…so, that's exactly what we did. Earlier this week Dan and I set aside time to really leave the space open and see where the chat could end up. Almost two and a half hours later, time which absolutely flew by for me, I have a deep dive for you that explores all that I mentioned and more. Given that I don't tend to do long form conversations, I've broken things down into three 45ish minute episodes. If however you prefer to listen in all one uninterrupted go, I published the video version in its entirety on the regenerative skills YouTube channel. In this first third you'll hear us discuss Dan's seven-month global tour focused on nutrient density, the importance of understanding its true definition, and its critical role in social movements turning into industries. He elaborates on the BFA's perspective, emphasizing that nutrient density is a continuum of quality rather than a binary concept. The conversation underscores the need for a universal standard of nutrient density, the correlation between soil health and nutrient levels, and the use of spectroscopy technology to measure and improve food quality In the second third we mostly get into Principles of Biological Systems and how to apply Nature's Patterns in Business. Dan talks about his experience Engaging with Farmers and Large Businesses alike. We dig into his personal Journey, the influence that Eastern Paradigms and Consciousness have had on his world view, the connection of Nutrient Density and Spirituality, and the potential of Technological Tools to be transformed for Empowerment.   In the last third we navigate the need for Generational Healing and Cultural Shifts in our collective culture, the unavoidable reality that the healthiest food for you as an individual can never be bought. Steps for building resilience and Self-Sufficiency, before then going back to Dan's own Journey to Farming and interest in Nutrient Density as well as his current Challenges and plans for the future.  The other two sections will come out on Friday in the next two weeks, which actually suits me really well because I'm just getting ready to leave for a water restoration job in La Mancha here in Spain and then to the University of Reading to start a Regen Ag transition and agronomist training that I'll be building with a diverse team, all of which I'll tell you about in future episodes. 

Two fine-dining chefs moved to rural Portugal to build a regenerative agriculture project focused on market gardening, nutrient-dense food, and soil health. Meet The Farming Chefs!

A check- in conversation with Ethan Soloviev, Chief Innovation Officer at HowGood, about how regenerative agriculture is truly taking off, its position within large food and agriculture companies, and whether we risk watering it down or falling into greenwashing (Spoiler: Surprisingly, we're doing a lot about it!). We also get an update on HowGood—they're doing well and focusing more on nutrient density-, plus, we talk about Regen House, which is revolutionizing the way good food fosters meaningful conversations at major events like COPs, climate summits, and Davos, bringing farmers, indigenous community members, and global executives together around regenerative food experiences. By centering conversations on actual good food rather than panels and PowerPoints, these gatherings forge authentic connections that move regeneration forward. And, of course, no conversation with Ethan would be complete without diving into AI—what currently does and what it could do for regeneration—not just through efficiency gains, but through innovative applications like predicting deforestation before it happens. The real breakthrough will come when we develop "large ecological models" trained on nature's patterns rather than just human texts, enabling truly regenerative landscape design.As Chief Innovation Officer at HowGood, Ethan offers a glimpse into how sustainability data is transforming food systems. Their database tracks environmental and social impacts for 33,000 ingredients and nearly 4 million products globally, enabling everything from carbon footprinting to supplier engagement. What's particularly encouraging is how this data influences consumer behavior—when sustainability information is presented clearly at the point of purchase, sales of sustainable products consistently increase across diverse markets.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/ethan-soloviev-4.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

From aging to genetics, we're exploring the balance between nutrition and metabolism in this four-part series.On this episode, Chuck Gaidica is joined by Registered Dietitian for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Shanthi Appelö. Together, they explore how the nutritional value of food plays a bigger role than just calorie count.In this episode of A Healthier Michigan Podcast, we explore:How nutrient-dense foods such as vegetables, whole grains, and legumes are high in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other beneficial nutrients, beyond just calories.How consuming nutrient-dense foods can support overall health, immune function, and disease prevention, beyond just weight management.How it's still possible to overeat even nutrient-dense foods, so calorie awareness is still important.Examples of high-calorie, low-nutrient foods.Calories aren't the full story, but timing our nutrients could be the next big piece of the puzzle. Tune in for our final episode, where we'll break down nutrient timing and if it can optimize our long-term health.

What if the solution to America's health crisis is buried in the soil beneath our feet? In this episode of Remnant Finance, Hans and Brian are joined by Kevin Muno, first-generation rancher and founder of Perennial Pastures Ranch.Kevin shares his remarkable journey from college baseball player to regenerative agriculture advocate, explaining the principles behind soil health and discussing the controversial world of raw milk. From his initial permaculture experiments to managing thousands of acres of rangeland, Kevin provides insights into how properly managed grazing can transform degraded landscapes.The conversation explores how regenerative practices not only create healthier ecosystems but also produce meat with superior nutritional profiles compared to conventional farming. The discussion extends to investment opportunities in regenerative agriculture and how consumers can support this growing movement.Journey to Regenerative Ranching: After a baseball career-ending injury, the path to regenerative agriculture began with permaculture and homesteading, eventually growing into a cattle operation on 16,000 acres of leased land in San Diego County.Regenerative Agriculture Principles: Conventional farming practices have degraded soil quality, while regenerative methods rebuild soil health through animal integration, plant diversity, and maximizing photosynthesis. This approach mimics natural ecosystems to create nutrient-dense food while healing degraded landscapes.Factory Farming vs. Regenerative Practices: The conversation contrasts conventional factory farming with regenerative practices, highlighting how properly managed cattle create healthier meat with optimal omega-6 to omega-3 ratios (sometimes as low as 0.8:1 compared to the Standard American Diet's 16:1).Raw Milk Revolution: The history and benefits of raw milk are discussed, including plans for launching a dairy herd share program. The group explores how government agencies have disproportionately targeted raw milk producers despite their strong safety records.Investment Opportunity: Expansion through ranch acquisition and regeneration is underway. Using advanced technologies like satellite imagery and walkover weighing scales allows for precise management decisions years in advance, creating resilient operations even in drought conditions.▶️ Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction and Background03:00 - Baseball Career and Transition to Agriculture09:00 - Permaculture and Gardening Beginnings14:00 - How Regenerative Agriculture Heals the Land21:00 - Military Health and American Nutrition Crisis26:00 - Managing Land with Animals and Crops32:00 - Single Focus vs. Diversity in Farming34:00 - Factory Farming vs. Regenerative Practices39:00 - Nutrient Density in Food43:00 - Raw Milk History and Benefits52:00 - Government Overreach in Food Regulation59:00 - Regenerative Ranching Investment Opportunity01:12:00 - Advanced Metrics and Drought-Proofing Techniques 01:20:00 -  How to Support Perennial Pastures RanchCheck out Kevin's regenerative ranching work and explore his nutrient-dense food offerings at https://campsite.bio/perennialpasturesranch - your gateway to better health through better agriculture!Got Questions?

Introduction: The Problem We Can't Ignore We live in a world where the food we eat is supposed to nourish us, but what if it's actually making us sick? Pesticides, soil degradation, and nutrient-depleted crops are all part of our modern food system, contributing to rising cases of neurological disorders, metabolic diseases, and immune dysfunction. The research is clear: exposure to certain pesticides has been linked to cognitive decline, Parkinson's disease, and an increased cancer risk. At the same time, the way we farm today is stripping our food of the vital nutrients our ancestors took for granted. So, the question isn't just about avoiding chemicals—it's about finding food that truly fuels life. The solution? Organic, regenerative, and locally grown produce. Let's break down the science and give you real reasons why it's never been more important to care about where your food comes from.     The Science Behind Pesticides and Health Risks  The Hidden Dangers of Conventional Farming Pesticide residues in conventional food contribute to long-term health risks, including cognitive decline and neurodevelopmental disorders in children. According to Holzman (2012) in Organic Food Conclusions Don't Tell the Whole Story, "Pesticide dietary risk is a function of many factors, including the number of residues, their levels, and pesticide toxicity." (Holzman, 2012).  Organophosphate pesticides, commonly used in industrial agriculture, have been directly linked to Parkinson's disease. As Mie et al. (2017) state in Human Health Implications of Organic Food and Organic Agriculture, "Epidemiological studies have reported adverse effects of certain pesticides on children's cognitive development at current levels of exposure." (Mie et al., 2017).  Pregnant women consuming conventional produce showed higher levels of pyrethroid insecticides in their bodies compared to those eating organic. Curl et al. (2019) in Effect of a 24-week Randomized Trial of an Organic Produce Intervention found that "3-Phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA, a biomarker for pyrethroids) concentrations were significantly higher in conventional produce consumers compared to organic consumers." (Curl et al., 2019).      The Cancer Connection The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified several pesticides used in conventional farming—such as glyphosate and malathion—as likely carcinogens. Hemler et al. (2018) in Organic Foods for Cancer Prevention—Worth the Investment? found that "Participants with the highest frequency of organic food consumption had a 25% lower risk of being diagnosed with cancer during follow-up compared with those with the lowest frequency." (Hemler et al., 2018).     The Nutrient Density Solution: More Than Just Pesticide-Free  Higher Nutrients in Organic & Regenerative Foods  Organic fruits and vegetables contain higher levels of vitamin C, essential minerals like magnesium and iron, and more powerful antioxidants. Maloney (2014) in Comparative Study on Nutritional Quality and Detection of Pesticide Residues states, "Organic foods are better in taste, appearance, firmness, and nutrient content when compared to conventional foods." (Maloney, 2014). Organically grown produce has 20-40% higher levels of antioxidants than conventionally grown produce, which help protect against inflammation and chronic diseases. According to Mie et al. (2017), "Differences in the composition between organic and conventional crops include a modestly higher content of phenolic compounds in organic fruit and vegetables." (Mie et al., 2017).     The Simple Steps to Better Food Go Organic Whenever Possible – Reduce your pesticide exposure and increase the nutrient density of your food.  Support Local & Regenerative Farms – Look for farmers using soil-restoring practices that make food healthier.  Grow Your Own – Even a small backyard garden or balcony pot can produce pesticide-free, nutrient-rich food.  Buy Seasonal Produce – Seasonal food is fresher, richer in nutrients, and often grown closer to home. Prioritize the Dirty Dozen – If you can't go 100% organic, at least choose organic versions of the most pesticide-laden produce, like strawberries, spinach, and apples.     Conclusion: Take Back Control of Your Health  Our food choices today impact our health for decades to come. Science shows that organic, regenerative, and locally grown food isn't just a trendy choice—it's a necessity. From reducing pesticides to boosting essential nutrients, switching to better food sources is one of the most powerful steps you can take to live a longer, healthier life.  So, are you ready to make the change?     Bibliography: Holzman, D.

Episode Summary In this episode of the Empowered Nutrition Podcast, Erin is joined by Julia Mitchell, a functional nutritionist, bison rancher, and mother of two. Julia combines her expertise in Muscle-Centric Medicine® from her work with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon's Clinic, regenerative agriculture, and food quality to help individuals optimize their health. As a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) and Licensed Dietitian-Nutritionist (LDN), Julia discusses the importance of building muscle mass and consuming nutrient-dense foods like grass-fed animal proteins to improve body composition and support longevity. She also shares insights from her experience raising grass-fed bison in Alberta, where she practices regenerative agriculture to promote personal health and improve land quality. Throughout the episode, Julia emphasizes the need for sustainable nutrition strategies, understanding macronutrient needs, and the role of resistance training in enhancing metabolic efficiency. Episode Highlights The Muscle Metaphor for Blood Sugar Management: Julia explains how muscle acts like a "sponge" for glucose and fatty acids, emphasizing that larger muscle mass means better capacity to absorb and store nutrients efficiently, preventing excess in the bloodstream. Why Cutting Carbs Alone Isn't Enough: While reducing carbs can help lower blood sugar, it doesn't improve your body's ability to handle glucose in the long term. Resistance training is crucial for building muscle mass and improving metabolic efficiency. The Danger of Crash Diets and Caloric Restriction: Prolonged caloric restriction or crash dieting can lead to muscle loss, reducing metabolic capacity and making it harder to maintain weight loss in the future. The importance of preserving lean mass while losing fat is emphasized. Macro Tracking as a Tool for Awareness: Tracking macronutrients, particularly protein, can help individuals understand their eating habits and ensure they're meeting their nutritional needs. However, it's not for everyone and should be used as a learning tool, especially for those without a disordered relationship with food. How Tracking Can Prevent Overeating: Julia explains how tracking food intake can help individuals avoid mindless overeating, a common problem in today's food environment, where calorie-dense foods are easily accessible. The Balance of Nutrient Density and Caloric Control: While eating nutrient-dense foods is important, it's also necessary to be mindful of calorie intake to avoid weight gain. Being curious about your nutrition and learning how to optimize it is key to achieving long-term health goals.

Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD is a name you may know if you've been in the ancestral or paleo circles for any length of time. This woman is now considered straight-up blasphemous in these circles for her bold willingness to challenge her own biases and go back to the research to revisit some strongly held beliefs in the health and wellness communities. In today's conversation, Dr. Sarah shares how she came to realize she needed to go back to the drawing board, the never-before revealed moment she made a decision that would forever change the trajectory of her career, what she discovered, and how she manages to stay strong in the face of all the hate and vitriol from the community that once held her dear.  She clears us some cognitive dissonance I had regarding vegetable oils and we dive into what she, myself, and others have experienced when we started taking a nutrient-first approach to what we eat and how we can increase our nutrient density without breaking our food budget. You won't want to miss this!"Foods are chemically complex. There's lots of different things in them. And just because one compound might not be beneficial, that doesn't mean the whole food is bad." - Dr. Sarah Ballantyne"If someone with a PhD in medical biophysics who was a medical researcher can fall for nutrition misinformation and pseudoscientific thought patterns, then anyone can." - Dr. Sarah BallantyneResources:Nutrivore.com5 Free Nutrivore GuidesThe Nutrivore bookDr. Sarah's Social MediaTikTokInstagramThreadsFacebookYouTubePinterestWork with AimeeCHAT ME UP: let me know what's on your mind by texting here!

Did you know beets can boost your heart health and energy levels? In this episode on the Wellness Revolution podcast, I am joined by Joel Kocher, a successful tech executive turned health entrepreneur. Joel shares how he discovered the power of nitric oxide and beets to support cardiovascular health, leading him to start SuperBeets.  We discuss that as we women age, our natural nitric oxide production declines significantly, but supplements like SuperBeets can help restore levels to support healthy blood pressure, circulation, and energy. We also dive into valuable insights on entrepreneurship in midlife, the importance of passion and having the courage to "take the shot" even if you're afraid of failure. Joel Kocher has over 20 years of senior leadership experience in the technology industry in companies ranging from $100 million in revenue to multi-billion. He is recognized for presiding over Dell's explosive growth in the early to mid 1990's as its number 2 executive behind founder Michael Dell during the company's meteoric rise to the Fortune 500. After he left Dell, he held a broad set of leadership positions in both private and public companies before co-founding Humann, the makers of SuperBeets, America's #1 Beet Brand and the #1 Doctor, Pharmacist, and Cardiologist Recommended Beet Brand for Heart Health Support. Humann is a recipient of the 2017 Nutrition Science Award by NBJ and a 9-time Inc. 5000 America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies Honoree.

Today I'm peeling back the curtain to discuss a very nuanced topic that definitely deserves a spotlight of it's own: the role of vitamins and minerals in your gymnast's diet. I'm taking you into the world of minerals for gymnasts and the impact they have on their overall long-term health. Here at The Gymnast Nutritionist, I talk a lot about addressing adequate fueling first; and that will never change. Too many gymnasts are underfueled and are ticking time bombs as a result. But once the underfueling issues are fixed, the work doesn't stop there...We know that minerals are the spark plugs that influence everything in the body, especially hormone function, muscle function, neurochemicals and so on and so forth. And there is a delicate balance of how these minerals interact and are absorbed by the body. So it's not just a simple fix of buying ALL the supplements at the store and hoping to see results. In this episode you'll hear get a quick primer into minerals for gymnasts: Understanding overall mineral needs in athletes Iron deficiency and it's implicationsThe connection between minerals and hormonal health Links & Resources   The Balanced Gymnast® Program for level 5-10 female gymnasts Episode 104: Nutrient Density, Real Food and GymnasticsEpisode 08: Gymnast Nutrition + EnduranceConnect with Christina on Instagram @the.gymnast.nutritionist or christinaandersonrdn.com

Hello everyone! In today's episode, I delved into the relationship between a plant-based diet and diabetes management. As a physician who primarily treats diabetic patients, I shared insights on how transitioning to a whole food plant-based diet can significantly improve metabolic health. Key Points Discussed: Transitioning to a Plant-Based Diet: When I first adopted a plant-based diet 12 years ago, I was enthusiastic about the science behind it. However, I realized the importance of providing more detailed guidance to my patients. Many patients initially focused only on fruits and vegetables, neglecting other essential plant-based foods like whole grains, nuts, seeds, beans, and legumes. This led to fatigue due to insufficient calorie intake. Importance of a Balanced Plant-Based Diet: A well-rounded plant-based diet should include a variety of foods to ensure adequate calorie intake and nutrient diversity. Incorporating all types of plants, including fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains, nuts, and seeds, is crucial for sustained energy and overall health. Fiber and Gut Health: Whole plant foods are rich in fiber, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and supports gut health. Newcomers to a plant-based diet might experience bloating and gas initially. To mitigate this, I recommend starting with easier-to-digest foods like lentils and gradually increasing fiber intake. Nutrient Density and Antioxidants: Plant-based diets are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, which combat oxidative stress and inflammation, common complications in diabetes. It's important to avoid processed plant-based foods and focus on whole, natural foods. B12 Supplementation: B12 is a critical supplement for those on a plant-based diet, as it's not naturally found in plants. I recommend taking 500 to 1000 micrograms of B12 daily and regularly testing blood levels to ensure adequate absorption. Monitoring Blood Sugars: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is beneficial for both diabetic and non-diabetic individuals to understand how different foods affect blood sugar levels. I offer a glucose mastermind program where I prescribe CGMs and guide participants in managing their blood sugars effectively. Medication Adjustments: As patients adopt healthier eating habits and lose weight, they may need to reduce their diabetes medications. It's crucial to monitor blood sugars closely and consult with a healthcare provider to adjust medications appropriately.
