Podcasts about nutritional therapy association

In this rich and revealing episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz welcomes the legendary Sally Fallon Morell, author of Nourishing Traditions and founding president of the Weston A. Price Foundation, for an eye-opening conversation that blends ancestral nutrition, holistic health, and spiritual alignment in today's toxic food and medical culture. Together, they unpack the roots of nutritional wisdom, challenge mainstream health narratives, and dive into controversial yet essential topics including raw milk, vaccine injury, the decline of small family farms, and why butter (not margarine) belongs on your plate. Sally also shares the spiritual significance of honoring the body as a temple, discusses the dietary crisis facing modern society, and offers practical advice to reclaim your family's health.   Critical topics include: • The difference between raw milk vs. pasteurized milk and the science behind why raw milk supports digestion, immunity, and childhood development • The impact of vaccines on child health, including SIDS, chronic illness, and Sally's perspective on medical freedom • The decline of small family farms and why local, regenerative agriculture must be preserved • Why traditional animal fats like butter, liver, and fish eggs are essential for hormonal health, fertility, and brain development • How processed foods, protein powders, and synthetic vitamins are silently damaging our population • Sally's perspective on the spiritual roots of nourishment, including Biblical insights into food, the sacredness of the body, and how nutrition aligns with God's design • The legacy of Dr. Weston A. Price and the principles behind his research on indigenous diets and generational health • Practical tips to start your real food journey, like the one-minute fix that could radically improve your family's health: making your own salad dressing   Jamie also opens up about her personal transformation from following mainstream health advice to finding healing through the Nutritional Therapy Association and Weston A. Price teachings—especially after a vaccine injury in her own family. The episode ends with a bold, hope-filled vision for the future of food, faith, and functional nutrition, including Sally's call for churches to reawaken to the importance of the body as the temple of the Holy Spirit.   Whether you're an NTP, parent, homesteader, church leader, or just someone seeking truth in a world of health confusion, this episode will inspire and empower you to live nourished, informed, and aligned—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.   Resources Mentioned: • Weston A.

In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz is joined by Allison Mädl, FNTP, educator, and long-time contributor to the Nutritional Therapy Association. Together, they unpack one of the most overlooked keys to vibrant health: minerals.   Allison shares how her personal health journey, combined with her years of teaching English to indigenous students in the U.S., led her to uncover the deeply rooted nutritional wisdom found in traditional cultures—especially the mineral-rich diets of the Misteco people of southern Mexico. From the science of how minerals regulate everything from inflammation to thyroid function, to the ancestral food practices like foraging and nixtamalization (soaking corn in alkaline solutions) to create more bio-availability in nutrient profiles, this episode explores how returning to whole, mineral-dense foods can transform our health at a cellular level - - - and may even slow graying hair!   You'll learn:   Why mineral balance is more important than isolated supplementation The role of minerals in muscle contraction, bone strength, and gene expression How trace mineral deficiencies may be linked to premature graying and chronic inflammation How reverse osmosis water could be depleting your mineral stores—and what to do about it Practical, ancestral ways to infuse more minerals into your life (yes, including tortillas)   Whether you're struggling with cramps, fatigue, inflammation, or just want to feel more resilient in your body, this conversation is packed with both inspiration and actionable wisdom rooted in tradition, science, and bio-individuality.   Don't forget to tune in Thursday for a follow-up "Quick Tips" episode on mineral-rich foods and simple ways to incorporate them into your routine.   Subscribe, give us a five-star review, and leave comments (if listening on Spotify!).

CLICK HERE! Transcription: It's time to escape the health monopoly and end the government's stranglehold on wellness. I'm your host, Jamie Belz - - - and THIS is the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast. Today's episode is a rallying cry—a call to action to break the chains holding back holistic wellness practitioners and, most importantly, to give YOU the freedom to choose your bio-individual path to optimal wellness.  The Nutritional Therapy Association is on a mission to reverse the trend of preventable poor health. Right now, we're living in a nation plagued by chronic illness, obesity, and skyrocketing healthcare costs. Meanwhile, millions of people are searching for solutions—but instead of finding freedom, they're stuck navigating a failing system that prioritizes government-controlled insurance dollars, surgeries, and pharmaceuticals over personalized care pathways that promote sustainable change and truly transformative healthful outcomes. It's an absurd contradiction we face. We're mandated to pay sky-high insurance premiums and hefty deductibles to maintain a safety net for catastrophic health issues—which most of us - THANKFULLY - never need. - - - That money - ((thousands and thousands of dollars for my family each year)) - is just gone. It's a carnival game we're forced to play, and the insurance companies win every year. Yet, at the same time, we're paying out of pocket for the wellness modalities and practitioners we truly value. These professionals offer personalized, preventive care that keeps us healthy and helps us avoid those catastrophic situations altogether. It's a frustrating system that forces us to invest in reactive care while actively limiting our ability to choose proactive, holistic approaches that align with our values and promote lasting wellness. Here's the kicker: the very professionals who can help—highly trained, deeply passionate practitioners—have been targeted, silenced, and even prosecuted in some states simply for doing what they do best: helping people live healthier lives.  Today, we're breaking this down - - - We desperately need an overhaul of how we do things. What we've been doing - our current "health care" system - IS NOT WORKING. The health of our nation is absolutely unacceptable. - **42% of U.S. adults are obese.**  - **6 in 10 adults** have at least one chronic illness, and **4 in 10 have two or more.**  In the U.S. alone - $400 BILLION dollars are spent on prescriptions each year - - - and we're getting sicker and sicker. We spend $4.1 trillion on healthcare in the U.S. each year - if that $4.1 was making us the healthiest humans have ever been - I'd be all for it!! - - - but 90% of that 4.1 trillion dollars is going toward managing chronic diseases. Here's the hard truth: most of these conditions are preventable. They don't need another prescription—they need a personalized, holistic approach that addresses the root causes of dysfunction. People are desperate for solutions tailored to their unique needs—their bio-individual path to wellness—but they're stuck in a system that's failing them. And that's where Nutritional Therapy Practitioners and holistic practitioners step in to fill the gap.  As Nutritional Therapy Practitioners (NTPs), we undergo rigorous, science-based training to support individuals on their wellness journey. We specialize in:  Anatomy, physiology, and the body's interconnected systems. Root cause analysis—not just managing symptoms but understanding and addressing the foundational imbalances that cause dysfunction. Empowering people with bio-individual strategies, recognizing that no two bodies are the same. Providing education in nutrition truth. We're not owned by big food or big pharma - we'll tell you the truth about that ingredients lists and help enlighten you about why certain foods - like most of the 10,000 industrially produced chemicals the FDA has approved for human consumption in the United States - should be avoided. We're a threat. What we teach is real, and it can't be patented for profit. We discovered this on our own after being exhausted - or sometimes even injured by - the BIGs - big food, big ag, big pharma - the BIG Money Machine. Most of us found this path because of our own life-changing experiences. Most holistic wellness providers - many NTPs - discovered this work after a personal health breakthrough or helping their child recover from a debilitating condition. We've lived it. We've felt the frustration of a system that didn't have answers - we were told, "you can't, you won't, you'll never," - "when in doubt, cut it out" - "where do you want me to send this prescription?" - - - but we pushed back on the prognosis - and we realized that there is another way! You have to be willing to take off the blinders and look. There are incredible licensed medical professionals who have done exactly that - - - they've come over to this side and have seen, felt, and heard what cannot be unseen, unfelt, or unheard - and we're all passionate about sharing what we've learned. Let's be clear: this isn't about demonizing any one group - and it's not about competition. This is about collaboration and abundance.  The health crisis is far too big for any one group of professionals to handle alone. We need registered dietitians, doctors, NTPs, health coaches, and more—all working together to create a system where everyone has access to the care they need.  When there are no more sick people left to help, THEN we can talk about competition. Until that day comes, we need boots on the ground. We need practitioners working in communities, meeting people where they are, and providing diverse options for care.  We're all allies in this fight. And the more offerings we have, the more likely each person will find their bio-individual path to wellness.  Here's the reality - the big problem - and why I need YOUR help. In some states, Nutritional Therapy Practitioners (NTPs) and other holistic practitioners - including RNs, functional medicine doctors, Chiros, NPs, MDs, DOs, and other licensed professionals, as well as alternative practice practitioners - are facing absurd restrictions and fear-driven enforcement. These are highly trained professionals offering alternative and innovative approaches to health, yet anyone challenging the status quo or “the machine” is met with unnecessary roadblocks, intimidation, and legal threats - fear of financial repercussions - the swipe of a pen can pull someone's license - their entire career gone if they don't get in line and play the conformity game. It's a system that stifles solutions and prevents people from accessing the personalized care they need and deserve. We have an NTP in Minnesota who was working alongside a naturopathic doctor, providing nutrition education to a mere five or six clients. She was given a cease and desist from the Minnesota Board of Dietetics because someone called in an anonymous phone call complaint, which was apparently enough to launch a taxpayer-funded investigation - - - and I am telling you - they had nothing - she did NOTHING wrong. Nothing even close to wrong - - - but because of an anonymous phone call and the current laws - she was immediately shut down and forced to spend her precious time and her family's money to fight back - - - ultimately conceding. Think about how absurd that is. We're trained, we're educated, and we're passionate—but the law ties our hands while the public suffers.  This isn't just frustrating—it's wrong. It limits your choices, perpetuates the health crisis, and prevents qualified practitioners from helping people who desperately need it.      The MAHA movement has ruffled some feathers - but I don't understand that - because EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. should want to see Americans - all people - everywhere - get healthy again.  This is a Non-Partisan Issue. This fight for health freedom isn't about a specific politician —it's about people, plain and simple. And let's be clear: this isn't about saying that licensed professionals or hospitals are bad. Dietitians, doctors, and hospitals are absolutely essential, and many people rely on them for life-saving care. But this is about freedom—the freedom for every individual to choose the approach and the professional that resonates with their values, aligns with their goals, and helps them meet them. Whether you prioritize personal liberty, innovative healthcare solutions, or reducing the overwhelming strain on our medical system, this issue affects us all. Chronic illness doesn't discriminate by political affiliation, and neither should the solutions. This is bigger than party lines; it's about breaking down barriers and creating a system where everyone can access the tools, resources, and guidance they need to achieve optimal wellness. By lifting these restrictions, we're not undermining traditional healthcare - we're expanding the choices available to empower people to take control of their own health. Every ethical provider should be able to get behind that. This is about escaping the health monopoly that drove us to the health crisis we're in. This is about ending the government's stranglehold and unlocking bio-individual pathways to wellness. Here's where YOU come in. This isn't just about practitioners - it's about YOU and your right to access care that works for your bio-individual needs.  I'm asking you to take action. Click THIS LINK and sign the petition to lift the legal restraints on holistic and functional health practitioners. By signing this petition - you're supporting empowered health - a system that champions true preventative care, like nourishing the body with nutrient-dense, whole foods! - and focuses on addressing root causes rather than masking symptoms with bandaid solutions that trap patients in a cycle of lifelong dependency and side-effect management - - - another pill - another surgery - - - - spoiler alert - that vicious cycle never stops. No one on a list of prescriptions is ever as happy as those in the pharmaceutical commercials portray. By signing this petition - you're supporting a more healthful future for generations to come - one where practitioners can work without fear, everyone has access to the kind of health care they desire and deserve, and they're aware of their options so they can actually find what works for them! Signing this petition means you support a future of true autonomy - where our hard-earned money isn't being held in the purse of the insurance companies, and like children, we have to beg them for our fractional allowances, which the government ultimately dictates. You're signing to support the freedom of choice - the right to seek care that aligns with your unique, bio-individual needs and preferences - to spend your wellness money where you want to spend it. With all the training I've received in anatomy, physiology, and the science of how the foods we eat literally are the building blocks of our bodies—the intricate interplay of nutrients to fuel every function- and the miraculous healing capabilities of a nutrient-sufficient body—I've dedicated over a decade to mastering this knowledge. And yet, despite all of that, I'm not legally allowed in some states to create a simple meal plan for your family for next week. Let that sink in.     Then sign that petition, yeah? After you sign, don't stop there. Share the petition with your family, friends, and community. Send this podcast to everyone you know. Post it on social media. Talk about it. We need you to help build momentum. Momentum is the silent force of greatness - - - every signature is a step closer to creating extraordinary outcomes.  Click Here or copy/paste the link below to sign the petition - right now - it takes a few seconds. Don't say you'll do it later - let's go!! Thank you for gifting your precious time to hear what I had to say and for being part of this movement. The time for change is now. Together, we can push back against conformity - change the way we think - and, in doing so - change the world. Together, we are reversing the trend of preventable poor health. ___ https://www.change.org/p/freedom-to-practice-supporting-the-right-to-holistic-care?recruiter=1358342049&recruited_by_id=e22b9240-a849-11ef-b3a9-450f8dfb38a4&utm_source=share_petition&utm_campaign=petition_dashboard&utm_medium=copylink ___   www.nutritionaltherapy.com

Everyone expressed discomfort to suggested she take a medicine like Tums. She didn't like the idea of this without understanding why the symptoms were happening in the first place.Because of her own persistent symptoms, she sought help from a certified Nutrition Specialist.

She taught her everything she knew in her clinic, where she saw her resolve hundreds of her patients' problems, who often weren't able to get relief elsewhere.  She discovered a Nutrition program offered by the Nutritional Therapy Association and even more encouraging accounts and surprisingly effective methods of healing.

On this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Corinne Trimarchi shares the story of her son's very challenging start to life - having struggled with a complex case of food allergies. Corinne is a wife, mom of two boys, a board-certified holistic nutrition practitioner, and a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach. Corinne received her nutrition training from the Nutritional Therapy Association and coaching training from the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy. She specializes in allergies, eczema, digestion, and gut health in babies, children, and adults. As Corinne tells of having her world turned upside down following the birth of her second son, she discusses working with various specialists, a long list of prescription medications, various diagnoses, referrals to more specialists, and still - no answers. She has committed her life to helping other parents navigate the challenges of childhood allergies, offering hope for the reversal of these conditions which were once considered a life sentence. Corinne honors the bio-individual approach, taught through the Nutritional Therapy Association while working with her clients. She says, "We are all biochemically unique and our wellness should be approached with that in mind." Corinne helps families better understand how food and environmental factors influence the expression of genes and the trajectory of health.   Resources: Corinne's Website: www.holisticnutritionnj.com Instagram: theautoimmunesolution https://documentinghope.com ________________________ Please remember to hit "SUBSCRIBE" and tell a friend you're listening. https://nutritionaltherapy.com

Could a simple change in diet hold the key to transforming pediatric cancer care? Today, we have a truly special guest, Season Johnson, a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner dedicated to working with pediatric patients. I discovered Season on Instagram and was immediately drawn to her compelling story and expertise.  Season's own son was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, and her family's journey through this experience has shaped her mission to help others navigate the complexities of cancer treatment and nutrition.  In today's episode, we dive into Season's unique approach to nutritional therapy for children battling cancer. We'll look at rising pediatric cancer rates and how environmental factors like food toxins and EMFs might play a role. Season also shares practical tips for parents, including the benefits of sunlight, outdoor play, and a balanced diet to create a healthier environment for their children. Hit play and get inspired—because fighting cancer just got a whole lot smarter! In this episode: Season shares her son's diagnosis with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Season talks about her initial resistance to traditional medicine and how she balanced it with alternative treatments to support her son's health.  Season opens up about the emotional rollercoaster her family experienced — from sleepless nights in the hospital to the constant worry about her son's health.  “It was a choice I had to make: am I going to let this define me, cross my arms, and sit back as a victim of our circumstances, or am I going to step up, realize I have a role to play, and not be passive?” - Season Studies show that environmental factors are a major contributor to cancer cases, including in kids, making up about 95-97% of cases. While genetics play a role in how we deal with toxins, the increased exposure to pollutants like electromagnetic fields from tech and various chemicals is a big concern. Simple steps that parents can take now to create an environment for their kids where cancer cannot survive in. How morning light affects our bodies' natural healing rhythms. Tips to manage nutrition for picky eaters during cancer treatment. How activities like bouncing on a trampoline help with detoxification and waste removal in the body. Season explains that while everyone produces cancer cells daily, whether these cells develop into tumors depends on our immune system and genetic predispositions. The good news is that 99% of these genetic variations can be influenced by our nutrition and detox efforts. Season shares some key practices to ensure our detox pathways are functioning properly, including staying hydrated, regular bowel movements, and using a sauna. Key nutritional benefits of organ meats for overall health and cancer support. Creative ways to incorporate organ meat into your family's diet, especially for kids.  What does "chemo-protective" mean in the context of foods and their effects on the body during cancer treatment? How often should you replace the things you do to effectively reduce toxins and improve overall health? How chlorella and chlorophyll protect us against radiation damage and support detoxification.  “God has given me this incredible ability, and it's deeply rewarding. The pediatric cancer field may not be lucrative, but it offers the profound opportunity to give families hope. Having walked this path myself years ago, it is an honor to turn that experience into a source of hope and support for others.” - Season Season highlights the vital role of community during cancer treatment. About Season Johnson Season Johnson is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Founder of The KICKcancER Movement, and a cancer mom who transitioned from having one child with cancer to supporting thousands worldwide. After her son's cancer diagnosis at age two and enduring a 3.5-year battle with daily chemotherapy and numerous surgeries, she developed an unwavering mission to help others thrive through cancer using real food, supplementation, detoxification, and environmental adjustments. She has received the Weston A. Price Foundation Activist Award and the Children's Health Advocate Award from the Nutritional Therapy Association for her work with pediatric cancer. In 2019, she earned the doTERRA Elevation Award for her commitment to aiding families through cancer via her non-profit, The KICKcancER Movement. Season has also served as the Health and Wellness Expert for the Oscars and collaborated with the San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Braves, and Washington Nationals to integrate natural solutions into their healing protocols. Through private nutrition coaching, online programs, speaking engagements, and a podcast, she continues to educate and empower others to use real food and healthy living principles to achieve vibrant health and thrive through cancer.

Welcome to the SYNC Your Life podcast episode #266! On this podcast, we will be diving into all things women's hormones to help you learn how to live in alignment with your female physiology. Too many women are living with their check engine lights flashing. You know you feel “off” but no matter what you do, you can't seem to have the energy, or lose the weight, or feel your best. This podcast exists to shed light on the important topic of healthy hormones and cycle syncing, to help you gain maximum energy in your life. In today's episode, I'm interviewing Kelsey Jack, Nutritional Therapist and founder of Wholly Well Academy. We dive deep into adrenal burnout, blood sugar regulation, mineral deficiency, how many women eat as opposed to how they should eat, and so much more. Kelsey's health issues started young when she struggled with chronic ear infections and was prescribed too many antibiotics to count. Later in life, she started noticing erratic energy, chronic sports injuries, and skin issues. Her health issues spilled into college while long distance running at Baylor University. Soon before getting married she became medically injured.  She broke out in full body skin lesions, developed chronic anxiety, chronic UTIs, and severe adrenal fatigue. After getting pregnant with her daughter, she developed severe insomnia, and after a traumatic labor, noticeable PTSD. Completely fed up with the traditional medical model of care, and getting an “answer” that always included a prescription or bandaid, she went on a quest to get real answers and find true healing. After finding some answers and doing self-healing work, she started implementing solutions from several holistic practitioners and listening to every podcast she could about adrenals and how they affect mood, anxiety, sleep and so much more. She saw a naturopath and chiropractor consistently, and her panic attacks and sleep started to resolve slowly. But there was one missing component: Nutrition. Her health difficulties sparked a whole new interest in learning and listening to our bodies, how nutritional deficiencies manifest in the body, and so much more. A friend recommended the Nutritional Therapy Association and she enrolled the next day.  Her passion is now to help others save hours of research, trial and error, and guessing, and really get to the root cause of their chronic fatigue, mood and sleep imbalances. She teaches others about the serious effects of HPA Axis dysregulation and blood sugar imbalance in the body and how it can lead to common struggles like anxiety, depression, hormone imbalance, fatigue, insomnia, inability to properly manage stress, and so much more.  She recently launched The Fatigue Blueprint Program, a 3 month telehealth program with a high level education portal, specialty functional lab testing, 2x/month private consultations, and live and post recorded group coaching. (thewhollywellacademy.com/client-application) In this episode, we discuss: Previous SYNC Your Life episodes, including PCOS Deep Dive Gaslighting in Women's Health  Sober for the Health of It with Stacy Miller Benefits of Clean Coffee If you feel like something is “off” with your hormones, check out the FREE hormone imbalance quiz at sync.jennyswisher.com.

Optimal digestion is crucial for overall health and well-being. It ensures that the body efficiently breaks down food into nutrients, which are then absorbed and utilized for energy, growth, and cellular repair. Proper digestion supports a strong immune system, maintains a healthy gut microbiome, and helps prevent gastrointestinal disorders. Additionally, it plays a significant role in mental health, as the gut is often referred to as the "second brain" due to its impact on mood and cognitive function. Therefore, maintaining optimal digestion is vital for sustaining physical and mental health, enhancing quality of life, and preventing chronic diseases. In this episode of The Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC, continues along the journey of digestion, explaining that if someone is not properly digesting their food, they will not be able to absorb and assimilate the nutrients from the foods they are eating, regardless of how healthful those foods are. Jamie brings back another historical audio clip from a lecture initially given by the founder of The Nutritional Therapy Association, Gray Graham. In Episode 10, Gray discussed the optimal function of digestion. This time, he walks you through “Digestive Hell” – the myriad of diseases, conditions, and other unpleasantries that arise from a suboptimal digestive system. The health of the organism is dependent upon the health of the organ systems, which are dependent upon the health of the organs, which is dependent upon the health of the tissues, which is dependent upon the health of the cells, which is dependent upon digestion. Thus, all wellness begins with digestion. Therefore, does all disease stem from digestive dysfunction? Not exactly, but you can eat the healthiest diet possible for your bio-individual needs, and if you're not breaking it down to the necessary molecules your body can utilize, what's the point? Every single cell in all tissues, organs, and systems of an organism relies on the ability to properly absorb nutrients from food. Factors such as stress, poor eating habits, gallbladder removal, and reduced levels of stomach acid (HCl) can hinder digestion. Given the critical role of nutrition in maintaining healthy cells, any disruption in digestion can be harmful in various ways. When the digestive system is compromised, it can lead to a domino effect, impacting the functioning of other bodily systems, 02:35 – Recap of optimal digestion 04:07 – Start of digestive dysfunction 05:23 – “Where's ‘Digestive Hell'?” 06:56 – Distraction, stress, sympathetic state 13:22 – Pancreatic amylase 13:30 – Dysbiosis, yeast, pathogens (Also at 19:50) 13:55 – It's all about acid/pH levels 15:17 – Macronutrient degradation 15:47 – Inputs for the production of HCl  16:20 – Things that cause hypochlorhydria (stress, too much protein, zinc, other nutrient deficiencies, allergies…) 17:13 – Dr. Jonathan Wright, the use of the Heidelberg Test for diagnosis of hypochlorhydria, pH for proper hormone function and enzymatic action 21:37 – Pasteur vs. Bechamp / Microorganisms vs. Terraine (Which is to blame?) 23:34 – Hpylori 26:53 – Heartburn, acid reflux, GERD, ulcers 37:50 – Homework/experiment 39:40 – Chyme into the duodenum, secretin, pancreas, bicarbonate, incomplete digestion, whole food particles in the small intestine 42:11 – Gallbladder, bile, fats, cholecystokinin, liver, fat-free or low-fat diet as the cause of gallstones and gallbladder dysfunction, cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) 52:06 – Burping up fish oil and delayed release fish oil 55:04 – Undigested proteins, microvilli, leaky gut/gut permeability, immune dysfunction 56:03 – Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, healing her autistic child, GAPS Diet 58:04 – Large intestine/colon, ileocecal valve, dysbiosis, inflammation diverticulitis, irritable bowel, Crohn's disease, celiac disease/gluten reactivity, hormones/endocrine system, enzymes, heart health, allergies, butyric acid and foul-smelling feces   Please SUBSCRIBE and Click Here to record a message for Jamie, ask a question, suggest an interviewee, or record an intro for the show!

In this episode of The Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC, brings back historical audio clips from a lecture originally given by the founder of The Nutritional Therapy Association, Gray Graham. Gray discusses the optimal function of digestion in a way you've never heard it explained. Listen to this, then hit the “subscribe” button to catch the next episode where Gray explains digestive dysfunction. Many embark upon their wellness journey by cleaning up their diet. While this is a necessary step, the healthiest diet according to everyone's bioindividual needs doesn't do much good for them if they're not properly breaking down the food into molecules that can be absorbed and utilized within the body. The health of the organism is dependent upon the health of the organ systems, which are dependent upon the health of the organs, which is dependent upon the health of the tissues, which is dependent upon the health of the cells, which is dependent upon digestion. Thus, all wellness begins with digestion. 06:41 – Overview of digestion 08:59 – Digestive inputs/volume 15:42 – Six digestive functions 17:09 – Digestion is a north-to-south process – where does it begin?  20:48 – Digestion is fundamental to Nutritional Therapy  21:45 – How's it all supposed to work? – Deep dive into optimal function   ________________________ Visit www.nutritionaltherapy.com/podcast or click here to record an intro or ask a question you'd like answered on the show!

What is a Professional Health and Wellness Coach, and Why Should I Become One or Work With One?   In this episode, your host, Jamie Belz, interviews Shanna Nemrow, FNTP, NBC-HWC, and developer and lead instructor for the PHWC course about the Nutritional Therapy Association's hottest new credential.   Shanna teaches why the health coach service industry is one of the fastest growing career fields globally and how to earn your PHWC credential through the NTA, qualifying you to become NBHWC board certified. You'll learn why the most industry versatile health coaches are NBHWC certified.   Shanna shares her story in finding healing after years of struggling with her health, to the point of saying, "goodbye," to her family in her dire condition. Fortunately, she was able to recover and became an Instagram "beacon on the hill" in her own quest to find others who shared similar struggles.   Through her journey/battle of over a decade, Shanna suffered from complications during pregnancy and postpartum sepsis which took a major toll on her organs. As someone who had once enjoyed CrossFit workouts and ran Tough Mudder races, she was reduced to needing to rest while climbing the stairs. She struggled with fatigue, joint pain, and brain fog, and her hair was falling out. Over the years, Shanna felt like something had to be wrong, but at each annual appointment, her doctor told her she was "fine." At 36 years old, Shanna saw an endocrinologist who diagnosed her with Hashimoto's Disease, an autoimmune disease impacting her thyroid. She heard words like "incurable" and phrases like "there's nothing you can do," but Shanna refused to accept that she would continue to struggle "to barely function" for the rest of her life. She persevered with the heart of a warrior and found great improvement by changing her mindset, diet, and lifestyle.   Shanna became a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and, later, a health coach. She is now an inspiration to all who seek answers and no longer wish to feel alone or hopeless in their battles against disease. _________________________________________   Please hit "subscribe" and remember to record your voice message at www.nutritionaltherapy.com/podcast.

Andy James, owner and creator of SlimLogix is joining us to discuss the modern, smart way to approach weight loss using timeless lifestyle interventions with advanced technology.Andy James has a background in both finance and real estate. He completed his Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) certification in June 2019 at the Nutritional Therapy Association. The passing of his father from cancer in 2011 prompted Andy to believe that lifestyle factors and diet had a significant role in both the formation of his cancer as well as the rapid decline of his health. Committed to not taking the same path as his late father, Andy was determined to better his own health, leading him to make dietary modifications. As a result of simply adjusting what he ate, Andy was able to eliminate his anxiety, lift himself from depression, achieve better sleep, and a whole other host of positive changes. On top of all of that, Andy was able to shed 40 pounds in the process and has maintained this weight loss ever since, simply because of the knowledge he gained. After formalizing his nutrition and weight loss knowledge, he is determined to help others gain the very same knowledge for themselves to make a positive difference and see just how simple weight loss can be.Now enrolling for the August Session.

Welcome to the SYNC Your Life podcast episode #111! On this podcast, we will be diving into all things women's hormones to help you learn how to live in alignment with your female physiology. Too many women are living with their check engine lights flashing. You know you feel "off" but no matter what you do, you can't seem to have the energy, or lose the weight, or feel your best. This podcast exists to shed light on the important topic of healthy hormones and cycle syncing, to help you gain maximum energy in your life.  In today's episode, I'm interviewing Kelsey Jack, Nutritional Therapist and founder of Wholly Well Academy. We dive deep into adrenal burnout, blood sugar regulation, mineral deficiency, how many women eat as opposed to how they should eat, and so much more.  Kelsey's health issues started young when she struggled with chronic ear infections and was prescribed too many antibiotics to count. Later in life, she started noticing erratic energy, chronic sports injuries, and skin issues. Her health issues spilled into college while long distance running at Baylor University. Soon before getting married she became medically injured.  She broke out in full body skin lesions, developed chronic anxiety, chronic UTIs, and severe adrenal fatigue. After getting pregnant with her daughter, she developed severe insomnia, and after a traumatic labor, noticeable PTSD. Completely fed up with the traditional medical model of care, and getting an “answer” that always included a prescription or bandaid, she went on a quest to get real answers and find true healing. After finding some answers and doing self-healing work, she started implementing solutions from several holistic practitioners and listening to every podcast she could about adrenals and how they affect mood, anxiety, sleep and so much more. She saw a naturopath and chiropractor consistently, and her panic attacks and sleep started to resolve slowly. But there was one missing component: Nutrition. Her health difficulties sparked a whole new interest in learning and listening to our bodies, how nutritional deficiencies manifest in the body, and so much more. A friend recommended the Nutritional Therapy Association and she enrolled the next day.  Her passion is now to help others save hours of research, trial and error, and guessing, and really get to the root cause of their chronic fatigue, mood and sleep imbalances. She teaches others about the serious effects of HPA Axis dysregulation and blood sugar imbalance in the body and how it can lead to common struggles like anxiety, depression, hormone imbalance, fatigue, insomnia, inability to properly manage stress, and so much more.  She recently launched The Fatigue Blueprint Program, a 3 month telehealth program with a high level education portal, specialty functional lab testing, 2x/month private consultations, and live and post recorded group coaching.

This week I am diving into one of the most requested episode topics I have had in the past few months - my schooling through The Nutritional Therapy Association. The core belief of the Nutritional Therapy Association is in the foundations of a whole food, nutrient dense food diet. They believe in bio individuality in that there is no one size fits all approach to health. The purpose of an NTP is to take an extensive look at everyones personal and individual needs instead of working with a one size fits all approach. In this episode: The one thing that has surprised me so far Some of the things I have learned What I have changed in my own life and diet as a result of the things I have learned and so much more!

Meghan Tynes believes in addressing the root cause of symptoms to achieve optimal wellness by focusing on the importance of nutrient-dense food, lifestyle choices, and culinary wellness. Her mission is to help those who are struggling with things like fatigue, mood swings, and weight challenges to get to the root cause, rather than masking symptoms with medications. Meghan has been in your shoes. Poor digestion, “hangriness”, daily acid reflux, hormonal acne, bloating, and obesity were just a few of her struggles in her younger life. Her diet from childhood through college consisted of things she could grab in a drive-thru, and heavily processed meals at home. Convenience trumped quality and her body paid for it. Meghan discovered the Nutritional Therapy Association and she fell in love with their approach to the foundations of health. She decided to enroll to learn more about her own health, not knowing it would put her on a new career path.Steve Mallett and Michelle Lewis meet the most interesting people, and discover the places and events that make Dripping Springs, Texas, a Hill Country oasis.

She has seen both sides of medicine - allopathic and homeopathic, and has taken a more homeopathic/holistic approach in her private practice by addressing disease with more natural remedies and by using food as medicine.

In episode #093, Tori shares her personal story of loss as well as her expertise as a nutritional therapy practitioner (NTP). After her miscarriage, Tori was not satisfied with her doctor's explanation that miscarriages were just "becoming more common". She dove into her own research on nutrition and lifestyle, and she start implementing some changes. This eye-opening information led her to seek professional education, and Tori became a NTP through the Nutritional Therapy Association. Today she has her own business, and she educates and supports women struggling with fertility issues. Tori helps her clients to prepare their bodies for conception and pregnancy by optimizing egg quality and regulating hormones and menstrual cycles. Some women come to her on hormonal birth control, and Tori helps them to get off of it and remedy any underlying issues that contributed to them getting on the pill in the first place. Healthy nutrition and lifestyle isn't just for women, though - we also talk about sperm quality and what the men can do to improve the chances of healthy conception and pregnancy. Topics Discussed: missed miscarriage, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), egg quality, sperm quality, nutritional therapy, nutritional therapy practitioner (NTP), pre-conception care, bio-individuality, recurrent pregnancy loss, infertility, hormone imbalance, hormone balancing, estrogen dominance, hormonal birth control CONNECT WITH TORI- torisauernutrition.com instagram.com/torisauernutrition facebook.com/profile.php?id=100075601939225 MISCARRIAGE HOPE DESK RESOURCES- Miscarriage Hope Desk aims to help women struggling miscarriage, pregnancy loss and recurrent miscarriages (RPL), by providing the following resources- - Library of Articles, found here- https://miscarriagehopedesk.com/library/understanding-why/ - Instagram Community- https://instagram.com/miscarriagehopedesk - Facebook Community- https://www.facebook.com/groups/1617075958466247/ - Free Miscarriage Lab Checklist- https://miscarriagehopedesk.com/labs - Free Weekly Newsletter- http://miscarriagehopedesk.com/newsletter FREE MEAL PLANS Do you need help getting healthy, tasty meals on the table?
