Podcasts about nutrition professionals

Welcome to the Women's Health Series! We're going beyond our usual focus on nutrition and fitness with five special guest interviews covering a range of holistic health and well-being topics.I am so glad I came across Kristin and Maria while looking for resources to support women's hormones in their 40s, 50s ,and beyond.  I read their book, The Great Menopause Myth, which opened my eyes to the misunderstandings and support women really need during this time. This goes beyond just feeling our best.  The Wise and Well team aligns with the nutrition and fitness I already teach and in this episode, they expand on that with the use of HRT.  Kristin Johnson and Maria Claps are the co-founders of the women's health and hormone education practice, Wise and Well, as well as the Instagram account @wise_and_well_.Kristin Johnson, JD, BCHN FNTP is Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition through the National Association of Nutrition Professionals, is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner through the Nutritional Therapy Association, and is a “recovering corporate attorney.” Maria Claps, FDN-P is a certified health coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. Together, Kristin and Maria have developed a deep specialty in perimenopause and menopause health through their clinical mentorships with multiple medical doctors and naturopaths specializing in hormone replacement therapy. In addition, they have both completed advanced training in various functional testing modalities which they actively use in their robust clinical practice educating and helping midlife women. Kristin and Maria are also the co-creators of a professional training program for other midlife women's health practitioners.In addition to their busy client work and peer mentorship program, Kristin and Maria serve as faculty lecturers for the Women's Hormone Network, a non-profit comprised of medical professionals dedicated to advancing the most accurate, scientific and medically advanced information on women's hormone health.

Navigating the complex and often underemphasized requirements of professional standards, legal considerations, and insurance can be challenging for sports nutrition practitioners and personal trainers. Many professionals, especially early in their careers, may overlook or minimize these responsibilities, focusing primarily on the practical and enjoyable aspects of helping clients achieve their goals. However, staying informed and adhering to these standards is not only essential for providing ethical, competent service but is also crucial for minimizing liability. Ignoring or misinterpreting scope-of-practice guidelines and insurance limitations can leave well-meaning professionals exposed to significant legal and financial risks that could have lasting consequences on their careers. In this episode, Alex Thomas joins Danny Lennon and Eric Helms to discuss the essential, if often overlooked, responsibilities that define a successful and resilient career in sports nutrition. Together, they explore best practices for insurance, scope of practice, and the importance of aligning with professional organizations that provide educational and legal support.

Does the legal jargon make your head spin as a health coach? Do you wish running your business was as easy as sipping a green smoothie?    Lisa Fraley, an attorney and legal coach, shares some great insights on the legal landscape of the health and wellness industry. She provides valuable advice on avoiding common legal pitfalls and setting up compliant health coaching practices. She demystifies the complex legal issues to help you understand the legalities that come with the health coaching business so you can focus on helping clients without legal worries. Whether you are a health coach, a doctor or any other licensed medical professional, this episode has some great insights for you!   In this episode, they talk about: How can a burned-out psychologist hire health coaches to work while complying with HIPAA How can doctors hire health coaches to work with their patients Differences between functional medicine and functional wellness coaching Can health coaches work with labs HIPAA compliance requirements for health coaches working with medical practices Changes in telemedicine laws, especially post-pandemic  Risks of using medical titles (e.g., Dr.) in health coaching practices Difference between licensed medical professionals and health coaches Can licensed medical professionals sell their books on a health coaching website Rules for health coaches practicing online in green and red states How to get a free 20-minute legal chat with Lisa's team   Memorable Quotes   “It's frustrating when we want to be holistic and help people holistically and reach people farther and wider. But the law just isn't still quite there yet.”   “Doctors are doctors, and health coaches are health coaches. If a doctor wants to become a health coach, they need to go get trained as a health coach and become a health coach. Or they can educate people from their medical background, but they can't cross the two. They have to be separate because one is licensed and one is not.”   BIO: Lisa Fraley, JD  is an Attorney, Legal Coach®, and Holistic Lawyer®.

Julie Matthews is a Certified Nutrition Consultant that holds a masters degree in medical nutrition. She is a globally respected nutrition expert, published researcher, award-winning author, and inspirational educator. Her guidance is backed by over twenty years of clinical experience and scientific research with complex neurological and physiological needs; particularly autism. She has lectured in more than 60 cities across three continents, been on television, radio, newspaper, blogs/podcasts and more, and published scientifically referenced articles in journals and websites. Julie's been featured by Price-Pottenger, honored by the National Association of Nutrition Professionals, sits on two scientific advisory boards including the Autism Nutrition Research Center. Julie is co-author of “gold standard” scientific research published in the journal Nutrients, demonstrating the efficacy of diet and nutrition intervention for autism spectrum disorder and a study on “The Effectiveness of 13 Therapeutic Diets for Autism” published in the Journal of Personalized Medicine. Julie is a dynamic speaker that's educated professionals at trainings for Integrative Medicine for Mental Health, Autism Research Institute/DAN!, Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs, and the MINDD International Forum in Australia. During her early nutrition studies in 2001, Julie discovered that food and nutrition influenced the disorder of autism. She committed to investigate the connections and to explain them to parents and clinicians that can make a difference helping children recover. Her final research paper at Bauman College became the basis for her award-winning book Nourishing Hope for Autism, which won the gold metal in 2009 for “Most Progressive Health Book.” It explains WHY food and nutrition affects the varied systems and biochemical pathways routinely occurring in autism and HOW to strategically apply a specialized diet to help children heal. After many years in practice, it became evident to Julie that the dietary approaches that helped the most difficult clients, were useful in healing most chronic conditions. And because autism is one of the most complex disorders (with underlying immune/autoimmune, digestive, neurological, and metabolic dysfunction issues), it provides a unique perspective on chronic disease that helps Julie teach others to see hidden connections between symptoms, circumstances, and effective healing dietary strategies for a wide variety of complex conditions. She founded Nourishing Hope in 2005 to stand for the efficacy of improved diet and nutrition for autism, and the BioIndividual Nutrition Institute in 2014 to share the synthesis of her knowledge with cutting edge clinicians to help improve their effectiveness with therapeutic diets. Julie has concurrently been focused on Nutrition for Healthy Pregnancy and Baby, putting all of her research, knowledge, and experience into teaching prevention/promoting health. She's created a program and website at NutritionForPregnancy.com. After twenty total years of dedication, Julie's global Nourishing Hope Community comprises families in over 146 nations, and BioIndividual Nutrition Practitioners in 48 nations.

The laws around what health professionals can and can't do can be complex.

She calls her method legal love — blending her expertise in healthcare law with coaching care and support.   In this episode, we talk about:   Options for psychiatrists/psychologists who want to build their business online but are afraid to hire anyone due to HIPAA requirements The difference between functional medicine and functional wellness coaching If a doctor wants to start an online business, should it be separate from their clinical practice Can a doctor hire a health coach from another state Story of a doctor who was investigated by the medical board in Colorado for practicing medicine without a license Ways for doctors to hire health coaches to work with people while staying compliant Lab testing laws  Tips for doctors to structure their online health coaching business   Memorable Quotes “If a doctor wants to become a health coach, they need to get trained as a health coach and become a health coach.” “Lab testing laws are state-specific, just like nutrition laws.” “There are so many ways you can do both medicine and coaching; you just have to set it up properly.” BIO: Lisa Fraley, JD is an Attorney, Legal Coach®, and Holistic Lawyer®. She takes a holistic approach to law and business by blending her expertise as a former health care attorney in a large corporate law firm with the care and support as a Health & Life Coach.

Allulose is getting lots of press and is even being promoted by well respected doctors and nutrition experts. But is it actually good for us? Mira uncovers the truth behind this ingredient and the detrimental effects it can have on our health and metabolism.Where to find Mira:https://theingredientguru.com/https://www.instagram.com/theingredientguru/https://www.facebook.com/theingredientguruTake Mira's First Aid Preparedness Seminar!Because the best time to prepare for an emergency is before there is one.https://thekitchentable.thinkific.com/courses/TKT-first-aid-preparedness-seminarStudies mentioned:From Mira: I'd like to point out that studies claiming a certain amount is "safe" usually fail to take into account the fact that no one is keeping track of how much you're eating. If you're getting something in a number of different products throughout the day it's easy to go far past the tolerable amount.This one has a positive slant for allulose however I'd like to point out that they specifically mention that it alters the microbiome - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32013116/ - Fecal short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production analysis revealed that ALL induced elevated total SCFA production compared to the other groups. Also, ALL supplement induced the change in the microbial communityhttps://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/british-journal-of-nutrition/article/allulose-in-human-diet-the-knowns-and-the-unknowns/74020152A1262DF4D7942A4DB54B6E37- in vitro studies have shown that certain bacteria such as Klebsiella pneumonia are able to utilise allulose as a substrate. This finding has been a subject of concern, since Klebsiella pneumoniae represents an opportunistic human pathogen.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6315886/pdf/nutrients-10-02010.pdf- A correlation analysis of the GI tolerance test for D-allulose and sugar revealed significantly higher...

[4:50] The importance of optimizing wellness rather than diagnosing disease and the functional testing that promotes optimal health. [7:20] Oscar's preferred tests address three categories — organic acids, gastrointestinal, and genomics. [8:36] An algorithm-based approach to GI spotlight testing has the potential to guide clinicians to improved outcomes. [10:54] The ideal practitioner candidate for the benefits of algorithm-based testing includes anyone who is committed to finding answers for their patients. [13:19] The test covers several categories including gut bacteria in the microbiome, inflammatory indicators, gut barrier integrity, inflammation, and fungal factors. [15:00] Markers that comprise the gut barrier integrity, LPS, and coordinating supplements. [20:38] Determining when to use nutrients and herbs versus serum bovine immunoglobulins or colostrum. [23:55] Balancing intuition and lab testing results when approaching functional testing. [30:01] Oscar's recommendations for the timing of each phase of testing and GI health change maintenance once the program is ‘complete'. [36:53] Tactics for boosting and maintaining healthy levels of akkermansia in gut health, including intermittent fasting. [42:34] Insights into the link between LPS levels and anxiety and depression, the gut-brain connection, and the multifactorial inflammation model. [47:07] Testing possibilities for patterns in bacteria metabolomics and Vitamin B production. [51:18] Markers that indicate a need for more butyrate and tactics for a gut diversity dietary approach. [56:00] Resources for in-depth information about marker research and implementation. [57:31] Oscar's favorite personal supplement recommendations. [59:20] Probiotics, gene expression, and antimicrobial protocol recommendations. [1:08:30] Oscar's personal health practices and the pharmaceutical approach he has changed his mind about in recent years.   Episode Resources:   Dr. Oscar Coetzee   Spotlight Teachable Online Training   Design for Health Resources:   Designs for Health   Spotlight Test Information   Webinar: Spotlight Suite Functional Wellness Tests   Blog: Serum-derived Bovine Immunoglobulins and Gut Barrier Function   Blog: Recent Review Explores Biochemical Relationship Between Gut Metabolites and Metabolic Health   Blog: Supportive Role Probiotics Play on Gut-Brain Axis and Mood Health, According to Recent Review   Blog: Recent Review Explores Relationship Between Berberine and the Gut Microbiome   Blog: Anti-inflammatory Effects of Supplemental Butyrate Visit the Designs for Health Research and Education Library which houses medical journals, protocols, webinars, and our blog.

Recently, at a nutrition conference, I met Dane Johnson, the owner and founder of CrohnsColitisLifestyle. His passion, transformative healing story, and the uniqueness of his holistic approach were so fascinating that I knew I had to get him on the show. Dane's passion for holistic nutrition began after his own life-threatening battle with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. At 19 years old, Dane experienced his first symptoms of IBD, with blood in his stool and multiple uncontrollable bowel movements daily. He nearly died at 27 years old while taking many different traditional medicines. Determined to create a better life for himself, Dane made a deep commitment to himself not to be a victim of this disease and sought out natural healing modalities. Dane is a leading practitioner in the holistic community with more than ten years of experience in the health and wellness industry. He received his Holistic Nutrition degree from the Energetic Health Institute and has since helped others find natural solutions to their battles with Crohn's/colitis. Dane has been featured in fitness magazines such as "Fitness for Men." Dane is the creator of the proprietary healing program S.H.I.E.L.D, a personalized, natural approach to reversing Crohn's and colitis. The co-founder of the non-profit Nutrition Heals foundation, the founder of CCLifestyle, and a member of the National Association of Nutrition Professionals, Dane is an established leader in the field. Throughout his battle with Crohn's/colitis, Dane always wished there was a place where he could connect with others who suffer and help build a healing plan, and he is now making that possible for others.
