In this episode, Dr. Kuba and Bethany talk about one thing that is plaguing practice owners, hygienists, RDAs, and business team members alike – working mom guilt. Bethany sits with so many women who are constantly beating themselves up. They want to be better employees but also want to be better moms. They pile expectations on their own shoulders and begin to crumble under the weight of it.

In this episode we're diving into all things protein recommendations for women, especially women over 40. The spoiler alert is this: RDAs are not in your best health's interest. In case you've slept through this, check out the latest episode of Dr Gabrielle Lyons with Donald Layman. It's a long hike or two walks to be sure. But in it you'll hear how nutritional guidelines came about. It will make you laugh. We have put so much stock in something that was basically, like, this sounds good or a compromise. And… the recommendations as we well know originally came from the dairy, beef and wheat councils who have government connections. Much of what you've been led to believe about animal protein and saturated fat is false. Much of what you believe about eating cholesterol causing cholesterol is false. But what you haven't heard about protein is also keeping you from optimal health. The only way to know for sure how you're affected is to: measure your body composition and skeletal muscle mass. Measure fat in a percentage and measure muscle in absolute lbs or kg. Log your energy, sleep, and hormone levels. Get the protein support you need with Flipping Fifty's protein powders.

That said, the hope is that it gives you reason to question and challenge the information presented to you or previous beliefs about nutrition, energy, food impact on health and performance. Key Guidelines on Protein Recommendations for Women: Based on the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) for healthy, exercising individuals. Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS): Both resistance exercise and protein intake boost MPS. Consuming protein before or after resistance exercise enhances this effect. Daily Protein Intake: For muscle building and maintenance: 1.4–2.0 grams of protein, per kg body weight, per day (g/kg/d) Example: 130 lb (59 kg) female would need 118 g of protein per day at 2.0 g/kg. For improved body composition (in resistance-trained individuals): 3.0 g/kg/day may help reduce fat mass. Example: 130 lb (59 kg) female would need 177 g of protein per day at 3.0 g/kg. Per-Serving Protein Intake:Recommendations vary by age and exercise routine. Generally, 0.25 g of high-quality protein per kg of body weight, or 20–40 g per serving, is ideal. Leucine Content: Effective protein doses should contain 700–3000 mg of leucine and a full range of essential amino acids (EAAs). Leucine content in proteins: Pea protein: 1.7 g Hydrolyzed beef (Paleo): 2–3 g High proportions of essential amino acids (EAAs) and adequate leucine, are most effective in stimulating MPS. Protein Distribution and Timing: Ideally, protein intake is evenly distributed every 3–4 hours throughout the day. However, the anabolic effect of exercise is long-lasting, at least 24 h. Continuing protein intake throughout this period is beneficial to reduce muscle breakdown Animal vs. Plant Proteins: Animal proteins provide all EAAs at high levels. Most plant proteins need to be combined to meet EAA requirements, except for hemp hearts, quinoa, and (if tolerated) soy products. Carbohydrate and Protein Recommendations for Women Endurance Athletes: Ensure adequate carbohydrate intake to enhance performance. Adding protein can reduce muscle damage and aid recovery. Pre & Post Menopausal Women: Protein Timing: Recent studies on men suggest timing is less important, but menopausal women benefit from more immediate post-exercise protein (40–60 g) to combat anabolic resistance. Carbohydrate Needs: Low Energy Availability (LEA) and Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) risks increase when energy intake is too low: Women: ~30–35 calories per kg of fat-free mass (FFM). Men: ~15 calories per kg FFM. Example: With 100 lbs FFM, a woman needs ~340 g of carbs/day. Risks of Low Carbohydrate Intake: Many women consume only 50, 100, or 150 g of carbs, which may lead to not just reduced performance but also endocrine dysfunction and low bone mass. Your Go-To Action Plan on Protein Recommendations for Women in Midlife Assess Current Intake: Track total calories and protein. Pre- and Post-Workout Nutrition: Focus on nutrient intake before and after high-intensity strength and interval training. Evaluate Progress: Monitor weight, body composition (body fat and skeletal muscle). Identify Caloric Needs: Check if you are undereating to maintain weight—especially if it has been ongoing. Prioritize Lean Muscle Gain: Eating more and building muscle may be necessary before metabolism supports fat loss. Protein Strategy for Postmenopausal Women: Aim for 1 g protein per lb of body weight. Distribute evenly at meals, targeting 30 g minimum, with 40+ g at meals and post-exercise. Track Results: Regularly evaluate the impact on body composition and overall health.

RFK has the following goals for healthcare reform in America: 1. Clean up the corruption 2. Get back to science-based evidence 3. End chronic disease He will be actively working against big food companies, big chemical companies, and big pharma, so naturally, he's getting a lot of pushback. The U. S. spends over 4.1 trillion dollars each year on healthcare, yet we're at the bottom as far as health. Why? Here's what I think can improve America's health! 1. Change the institutional foods Prepackaged foods are given to people in nursing homes, prisons, schools, hospitals, and other public institutions. These institutional foods are very low-quality, highly processed foods. The health of the people in these institutions would quickly improve by simply removing the refined sugars, starches, and oils from their diets. 2. Address the subsidized foods Subsidized foods are paid for by taxpayers. Corn, soy, wheat, sugar, and rice are the most highly subsidized foods. Changing the types of foods that are subsidized and investing in small farmers can significantly improve this problem. 3. Changing GRAS “Generally recognized as safe” is a term used by the FDA for products that have been safety tested by their own manufacturers. To avoid conflict of interest, these tests should be conducted by third-party independent companies. 4. Change food fortification Synthetic folic acid and iron fortification of food can cause serious problems for many people. 5. Disallow tax dollars from being used for drugs Every year, 40 billion dollars of taxpayer money is used to pay for medical research to develop new drugs. 6. The rounding rule If a product contains less than .5 grams of an ingredient, it can be rounded down to 0. This is misleading and should be eliminated. People need to be more aware of what's really in their food. Companies also need to be forced to raise the quality of the ingredients in their products. 7. End sun phobia Sun phobia paired with low RDAs for vitamin D is contributing to massive vitamin D deficiency in the population, putting people at risk for disease.

Is there a service in the dentistry field you're interested in learning more about — perhaps enough to add it to your practice? Tiff and Britt dive deep into how to go about expanding services. They give examples, how to tap into your creative side, hurdles that might come up and how to pivot, and more. Episode resources: Reach out to Tiff and Dana Tune Into DAT's Monthly Webinar Practice Momentum Group Consulting Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Become Dental A-Team Platinum! Review the podcast Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:01.134) Hello Dental A Team listeners, we're back today. You've got Tiff and Britt and I'm using your Britt nickname today. Always, I said Brittany Stone last time and like you mentioned, like it's always a little weird. It's so weird to me when people say, this is Tiffanie. And I'm like, it's Tiff. Tiffanie is like so formal. It makes me sound, it either makes me feel like a child or old. Like there's no in -between. It's not my age right now. Whatever, whatever this in -between stages is Tiff. So Britt.   Welcome back. I'm excited to be here with you today. I think we have a fun topic that is right up your alley. You love the clinical stuff and this one's diving into clinical. How are you this beautiful afternoon? Yeah.   Britt (00:44.197) different crowds. don't know about you, Brittany or like Brett or if you're Tiffanie or Tiff for me, like it just it depends on what crowds and like kind of like what phase of life did I go by my full name or my short name. So but I'm doing great today. I'm excited to be here. Agreed. I love chatting a variety of things, right? So it's always fun. We love it with clients because you never know what they're gonna throw at us, which just makes our life super fun, which I think we love about it. And I think we've got a fun one for everybody today.   The Dental A Team (00:54.293) Yes! I agree!   The Dental A Team (01:07.628) So true.   The Dental A Team (01:13.036) I agree. I agree. I do love I like have a love hate for it. I should say, right? Like I love being thrown curveballs. But then sometimes I'm like, Whoa, my brain. Like this is a big one or dang, I had 15 curveballs but five with five clients this just today like and sometimes it's exhausting but I do love it. I had a client yesterday. We were talking about   Britt (01:22.03) That's nice.   The Dental A Team (01:38.528) something I can't even I told the last podcast I told you I can't remember all that far. But we're talking about something and I was like, gosh, this is actually it was it's a different type of marketing. And it was two days ago. That's why I can't remember. But they're in a space they're in a they're in Texas. And they're in a community in Texas that is it's just oil fields like they're just it's the oil field industry. And   Initially, they're like, how do we stop cancellations? I'm like, fantastic. Like, here's some pieces, here's some things. And then we're like digging through and we're realizing, I'm like, listen, guys, like, let's put these pieces into play for sure. But sometimes you're just in a place that's like, you're going to experience cancellations. These people are getting sent out at midnight for three months to go work in a different oil field. Like they don't have the flexibility. And so it was really cool. And the conversation, the point I say this is like,   I had to really think outside the box and I said, you guys, your marketing, your systems, while I have systems that are tied and true and I know that they work, this is why doing it here is different. I may say this is why Dental A Team is different, because calling further in advance on your confirmations or telling them you're going to charge them or coming up with all of these solutions that work for many practices, let's implement those for sure, but you've got a different   type of community. I think changing your marketing to we're here when you need us, because that's what you're hearing. And more of that like same day, let's get patients in, hey, call us, switching the marketing efforts is going to work in your area. And the reason that was so cool was because it was so drastically different than majority of other clients. And it was really fun to   get that outside the box thinking and like, gosh, okay, let's put our hats on and we brainstorm together and the hygienist in that call was just like, she stood up at the end and she was like, I am so excited for this because at the end of every visit, when I walk them up and I do my NDTR, I tell them, if you need anything else between your appointments, we're here for you, please call. She's like, so this is expanding on that and I was like, you've already been priming your patients for it.   The Dental A Team (03:48.199) This is exactly what we need to do. But it was so cool, Britt, because that just highlights like the differences and really getting thrown those curve balls and having fun with it and really diving in and figuring out where are you and how can we expand on that. And that's something I think clinically that we want to talk about today even is really how to expand your range of services. And Britt, I know I didn't prep for this piece and I do this to you guys all the time.   I realized that but my brain just is like ping, ping, ping, ping, and I just go for it. So before we even get into like the super doctor clinical stuff, I know that you as a practicing hygienist before you were all into the state you guys, if I need any information on what the dental industry is doing and what's progressing, I know Britt's my girl. So she I know that you have always been so invested in that and I would love to pick your brain right now on.   Britt (04:34.747) Thank   The Dental A Team (04:44.87) Before we talk about doctor clinical, hygiene clinical, and how did you as a clinician or as being over the clinicians as a manager, how did you help hygiene to expand their services?   Britt (04:59.291) Yeah, so I mean, it's always fun. Doctor can do a lot more than the rest of the team, right? So when we get there, there's a lot more options. And for hygienist and even assistants, right? It's gonna be a little bit of like, what can you do within your state, right? That you're under your license, under your scope of practice that you can do. I'd say number one, be aware of that. And even if you want to be able to do more in your state, even I would say encourage you to like.   be involved if you want to, you know, you can give anesthesia now and that's something that hygienists want, you want to be able to do one day, be involved with your local associations and things and help move those things forward. Cause it'll help to expand and just make you a, like a more advanced clinician in the end of it. So that's my like one plug is like, cause I know every state's going to be a little bit different and then know what you can or can't do and explore it. And at the end of the day, hygienists and doctors, right? Whatever   and assistance, whatever we see that's gonna be a benefit to our patients, kind of like to what you were talking about, custom fit it, but what are the advancements? What are the new things? What can we do that would be beneficial to our patients and in line with our standard of care or something we might wanna evaluate and adding to our standard of care? What is there number one and just get familiar with it.   and then see if it's something that you want to be able to add to your practice. know I'm a big laser fan from like back in the beginning when I first got out of school, because it's something we could do in Arizona. I'm a big believer in it for those who can do it. If you're not doing it, it might be something worth considering and starting to look into to see if it'll benefit your patients. I love it. I know these days a lot of hygienists like Airway, Myofunctional are big things that are coming out now that can be super beneficial. And a lot of people are learning that.   Even things like for assistance, right? Being able to learn to do things that like maybe your doctor is doing now, but you could do. Those are also things that are expanding. Maybe it's not a new procedure for our practice, but you, it's expanding you and what procedures you can do, which is gonna help the practice overall. So I think just look, be aware of what's out there. Read your articles, be a part of groups, go to your CEs and just be aware of what.   Britt (07:14.477) exists so then you can determine what might be good. And I think for doctors, doctors are they've got a lot on their shoulders and they're they learn a lot and they're exposed to a lot. But team members bring stuff up to doctors all the time that they haven't heard about or they didn't know their team would be interested in doing and you can help to kind of have the practice progress and expand things.   The Dental A Team (07:36.275) I totally agree. I love all of that. I may you're gonna say laser, I think laser is huge. I think it's a giant benefit. And I think that got really hyped when it you know, first started and then people are like, I don't know. And I think it's something that kind of has fallen off. So I, I surely encourage hygienists to go do that. But something else that you mentioned was the like my functional space, the airway, the sleep apnea, those spaces, and I actually worked with a client over the summer.   who had a really fantastic, thriving sleep department. And she did it, it's taken years to get there and she's done it. They've got the systems and processes, everything's written down, write it down. But the interesting piece to me about it was that the doctor barely touched that department. She had a hygienist that loved it, that just saw the need. She, from a personal level, she connected with it.   Britt (08:09.317) Thank   Britt (08:26.171) Thank you.   The Dental A Team (08:34.826) She loved it, she wanted it to do well, and the doctor handed it over to her. So she had a hygienist that went and learned all of this stuff down to the medical billing. Like she's processing the claims for that department. So one of her top hygienists in her practice actually is now running her sleep department. And so expanding her range of services, and I'm not saying go pull a hygienist to start a sleep department. I'm saying look for the things that interest you guys and see how can you expand on that, even if it's something   you're already doing, how can you do more of that? I think is what Britt's saying, but watching them thrive in that personally, like she was so happy and she loves hygiene. She still does like a day or two of hygiene a month because she loves hygiene, but she was genuinely lit up talking to me about the sleep department. And so it expanded the services of the practice, but it expanded the services for her and the impact she can potentially make.   personally on on the community. So I love that you said that. That highlights a piece that I want to make sure we talked about was what interests you. So hygienists, RDAs, FDs, dental assistants, doctors, associates, all of you guys. What interests you? Like what do you look at and you're like, gosh, that would be cool. But maybe you're afraid to step your foot into and dip that toe in and kind of test the waters or you're like, gosh, it just seems so hard or whatever.   reason why aren't you doing it? What interests you? I've had a lot of practices this year that I that were like, gosh, I need to expand services. One PPL reimbursements suck you guys we know that and when you can expand services, you can do higher value things like obviously it makes the production the collections easier. So I had a lot of practices this year that were like, I can't and don't want to drop insurances, but how do I make more? So one space I had them evaluate   was to because most people don't put it in their system. I hope you are track, truly track what you're referring out and how many of those things you're referring out. So root canals, perio procedures, implants, oral surgery procedures. I love all of my specialists. I love you. But really if there's something in there for my dentists and FDs and RDAs and all of you guys, like, is there something   The Dental A Team (11:00.851) that you enjoy and you want to learn more about, look at what you're referring out. Kavya, I had an office Brit, she was like, I refer out a ton of root canals. I wanna do root canals in office. And I said, okay, we can do that. We can pull root canals back in office. There's courses all over the place that you can go get refreshers on. There's an hour -end course I know of that's fantastic. You can do this. She's like, okay.   I said, let's sit on this. Like, let's think about the work it's going to take and let's evaluate how many root canals you're going to do. I talked to her on our next two week call two weeks later. She was like, Tiff, I hate root canals. I was like, yeah, I didn't think you liked them, but I needed to go. We needed to go with it for a second. She's like, I don't want to do root canals. I send them out because I hate them. Cool. Then let's not do root canals. Let's look at the other pieces. So caveat is don't pull things in just to expand services, just to offer more, just to make more money. If you hate doing something, don't do it.   Do more of what you love. So we're evaluating here to look at what interests you and how can we do more of it? Are there things, Britt, you mentioned, you mentioned, right, you talked about, right, getting the things that the hygienist can do and within your state it's different, especially when it comes to FDAS, RDAs, dental assistants. It's all over the place, you guys. In Arizona, like, we don't get any special acknowledgement, we just.   do everything and you either know or you don't know and you learn it. So, Wild Wild West out here, California, Colorado, like they're Colorado's placing fillings, right? Like that's cool, Tennessee, they're placing fillings, they're like a provider. Here, I actually don't know anymore what that is. I mean, I know what is fine.   Britt (12:44.057) It depends. There's some places where it's rural and even hygienists can place fillings if they get certification for it. So sometimes there's some if it's an area in need. that's where it's like, know what's going on in your state.   The Dental A Team (12:50.182) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (13:00.246) Exactly, exactly. And to speak to that point, like once you do know, Britt, like you said, for those spaces, hygienists, for sure. But then you guys, my RDAs, my FDs, my dental assistants that are listening, I know what it's like to feel like such a big important piece of that appointment and feel like, gosh, I really helped this patient or I really helped my doctor. Go figure out what you can do. And where can you expand so that your   expanding your range of services because that adds value in. Britt, I'm sure you've seen it too. You've got practices too, or have worked with practices too, who have these expanded functions that they're able to do in hygiene and or assisting side. And what has that done when they take on those pieces and the support team will call them, right? The support team is like, no, like I can do this. Let me do it. What does that do for the doctors? What have you seen for the doctors? Like what are they available to do them?   Britt (13:57.371) Yeah, I want to say first, even for my assistant, I'm a big believer in anyone within a dental office. This is your profession. Like you are a professional. So by expanding your skills, you are just expanding yourself as a professional and what you can do. like, I want to throw that in. Number one is like, I hope you all view yourselves that way. That's how I view all of you because it's true. You have amazing skills. You do amazing things every day. And by working to like the highest level of your ability,   taking on those things, learning them from your doctor, getting the trust from your doctor where you're able to go and do it on your own, frees the doctor up to be able to do more of the things that only they can do. I always say doctors are our ultimate limiting factor, right? How many doctors do we have in the practice? How many of the rest of the team do we have? It's usually at least two to one, if not three to one when it comes to doctrine, we're pulling them in a million different directions. So the more we can do,   I'll tell you for hygiene, I'm like great when my assistants can do a lot, that means my exams are going to be more on time. So it helps a lot. We can fit in more patients for treatment because we can utilize our assistants and be able to take care of more patients throughout the day. And you guys know, like doctors do a great job of knowing our patients and building that relationship.   The Dental A Team (14:59.439) Yes.   Britt (15:13.603) hygiene assistant front desk, like you guys know those patients. So you also help to give them a great experience that you're there with them through most of that appointment. You're taking care of a good part of that appointment. Doctor gets to come in and do the part that they need to do. And then you take care of the rest of it. And I have seen for assistance, right? It's performing to the extent that you can on a lot of those things I talked about.   But I also have assistants who are helping to like manage team, manage supplies, find, you know, better prices for things. They're learning to design crowns or learning to mill crowns. is so much that you can learn to do. But like I said, just builds you up as a professional and makes it so we can take care of more patients within our office.   The Dental A Team (15:59.5) I love that. I love all of that. think one thing I didn't even think about that you mentioned was like learning how to do the crowns or learning how to do the 3D machines or the impressions or the scans that you need to send things out. Like that's, that's a space I didn't even think of. And I love that you said that.   Britt (16:10.055) Thank   Britt (16:17.5) 3D printers, right? Some of them, like, they're printing out, you know?   The Dental A Team (16:18.982) Yes.   Britt (16:22.511) retainers, or they're printing out dentures and all that stuff. And there's some cool, there's a lot of cool stuff that are advances if your office has it that like, if they do, or if you're looking into it, those are the things that the team helps drive the doctor so much because the doctor can't do everything right again, they're one person, even if we've got multiple doctors compared to how many team members we have. But if a doctor has a team member that's like, I'm here with you, I'm here to learn it with you, let's do it.   doctor is going to be a lot more confident to say all right let's do it and it helps everybody.   The Dental A Team (16:58.052) I totally agree. I did a podcast not long ago with the dentist on here. Dave Mogadam you guys can search for it somewhere and they might put them in notes, whatever. But he spoke on that about some advanced courses that he's taken this year, that he actually took some of his dental assisting team with him so that they could learn that stuff because he doesn't. He loves it. He gosh, this man is creative. Like he would sit all day. he has a 3d printer at home.   that he plays with that he makes toys with. He brought me a toy like the next day at the office, he brought me a little toy and made me this little octopus thing. But I was like, my gosh, he loves the creative side. But he sees the value in allowing his team to have a part to play in that and allowing his team to learn it. And I don't think you always have to go to the courses. A lot of those places will send somebody out to your practice too. But the value in that is huge. And now he's been able actually, I just talked to him today and he   Britt (17:25.435) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (17:53.894) had his first sedation day. And so he's been able to like implement other bigger, broader things into his practice to add value to expanding his range of services because his dental assisting team has been able to take things on like that. So I love that you said that. Now within the doctor space, I think it's super important, you guys, I'm gonna go back to the beginning on what interests you. What are you sending out that maybe you could keep in house if it interests you?   And why aren't you doing it? That's my biggest question. If it interests you, why aren't you doing it? Overcome that fear, overcome that hurdle, and go for it. I think right now is the perfect time, maybe even a little bit late, to choose your CE for 2025. Like, choose your CE whatever year you're listening to this in. Make sure next year your CE is already chosen by...   October. Know what you want next year to look like. And if you don't know, that's okay, like it'll it'll come. That's fine. But plan that out. Because one of the biggest hurdles that I hear from doctors, and the reason they're not expanding services, or they're not doing the thing they truly want to do is time, time, and money. And I have a doctor, we're working on next for next year, reducing the number of days it should take to hit his minimum goal, because he wants to do so much CE and his issue is time.   and being able to provide financially for his team. So taking off time at the office and seeing the impact that that has on his team, we've got to like, finagle some workarounds and some goals so that we can still pay the team, whatever, right? But that hurdle, we're working through it. So if you know what your hurdles are, what's holding you back from doing the thing that you truly want to do, now you can plan a workaround. Okay, great. If that's the hurdle,   How do we get you more time? And you get into this space, think, Britt, I know I get in this space and you help pull me out where it's just like, I can't see outside of the problem because I'm so in the problem. it is just like, sometimes I'm just like, no, it just sucks. And you're like, okay, it sucks today. We'll come back tomorrow. It's fine. And you navigate that really well with me. So kudos and thank you.   The Dental A Team (20:08.871) But sometimes that's the space I think that we get into with expanding services too. Like, gosh, yeah, that would be cool Tiff, but like, how am I supposed to do that? Brett, I have no time. And so, Brett, think something that we do really well is taking our doctors from that space. Like, where is it that you want to go? And this is, want to go, I want to do the service. And then we work backwards and say, cool, this is the path that's going to get you there. What are the hurdles that are going to come up that we can anticipate?   not all of them are anticipated, right? But what can we anticipate within this path? What hurdles may come that we can have a pivot ready for so we can work around it. And if it's the time or the money, fan -freaking -tastic, it's October and we're planning for next year. Guess what, guys? We can do anything with your goals. We just add it into your goals and we make the magic happen. that's the easy space of it. But what interests you? Why aren't you doing it? What are you sending out?   What are things that your support team can help with and do they want to? And then choose your CE for next year. Those are my biggest points. And Brit, for someone that's just like on the edge of their seat, gosh, this Brit and Tiff, are freaking amazing. And you've got me pumped up and ready to go. But they're like, ha. And then two weeks later, they forgot about this. What do you suggest for them? Like, how do they stay motivated in this space of potential busy and chaos? And I'm not ready to look at that. What would you say to your client?   today to keep that motivation.   Britt (21:39.163) Yeah, I think that right thoughts not written down or put into motion get lost, right? And so we've got to do something to where either   It's maybe going on a whiteboard in your office. So you see it there regularly and you know that that's something you want to work towards. Maybe it's like looking up the course and when's the next date and putting that up somewhere so that you know that that's what you're working towards or having some sort of accountability buddy. I think if you're normal, we all get to those spots where it's like, I can't see past my nose right now and I need someone to help me see past my nose and we've got to step away or get someone from an outside perspective to pull us out of it.   thing with treatment and so it's like make it something that's gonna put into motion. Don't make it just a thought, write it down somewhere, schedule the event, pick what you want to go to, something to move forward and you know what doctors? Go into a course about it.   It still doesn't tie you to anything right now. Like, so if you're like, hey, I'm interested in it, but like, my gosh, it seems like such a big thing to tackle. Start with one thing. Start with one thing and see if you're as interested as you are. And I say the same thing to...   I'll just add one last thing to sometimes it's the market we're in that's also going to drive you right. I've got some docs who are in areas where we may not have a lot of specialty around. And so they're like, my gosh, I feel for my patients. I want to be able to do more for them, but I don't know.   Britt (23:09.231) This is where Tiff and I are coaching you. Take the push, go take a course on it and just start to explore it and you get exposed to people who have done it. You can do whatever you want. Like at the end of the day, if you really want to do it, you can. And sometimes it's just explore it first, take the first step and that's all you need to do right now. And then take the next step.   The Dental A Team (23:28.787) Yeah, one step at a time. I love that. I love the whiteboard idea. Alright guys, I hope you feel motivated. I hope you feel powerful. I hope you feel excited to go find something. It doesn't have to be grandiose. It doesn't have to be something big. But go find something that excites you that you can learn or you can add and you can expand what you're offering in the next year. Go do it.   Drop us a review below five stars are always appreciated. Let us know what you decide I want to know what you guys are doing too because Britt I don't know about you but that's where a lot of our Knowledge base comes from is picking the brains of the people we work with so share that breadth of knowledge Leave us a review Reach out. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com we want to hear from you guys And if you need help working that backwards like if you're like gosh, I just can't see through it you guys We have coaches too. I have a coach that helps me   work through things in my life that helps me work through my health and fitness and mindful journey like all of those pieces. We all have coaches and we are here for you for those types of things. That's what we love. That's where our passion lies. And I want you guys to understand if you need it or if you just need a little smidgen of direction, reach out. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. are here to help you guys. And I hope you have a fantastic rest of your day.  

The discussion focuses on the role of economic development agencies, such as RDAs and CDAs, in the development process. RDAs, with state-granted powers, create CRAs to enable tax increment financing, aiming to boost job creation, sales tax, and city beautification. Developers should collaborate with these agencies, securing political and taxing entity support for success. The Salt Lake City RDA is noted for its significant resources, including a loan fund for affordable housing and downtown revitalization. The conversation also highlights the importance of relationships with site selectors, brokers, and developers, as well as using incentives like tax increment financing to attract businesses. Beautification, walkability, and high-quality buildings are emphasized as key factors in development projects.Chapters00:00Introduction and Setting00:38Different Government Agencies Involved in Development01:26Role of the Redevelopment Agency (RDA)04:24Community Reinvestment Areas (CRA) and Project Specifics07:10Utilizing Economic Development Tools for Impediments09:33City Goals: Jobs, Sales Tax, and Beautification10:31Different Economic Development Goals for Each Community13:02Sales Tax as the Main Revenue Generator for Cities14:24Involvement of Taxing Entities for Personal and Real Property Projects19:36Role of the Economic Development Director and Collaboration21:24Approaching Economic Development Agencies and Building Relationships24:06Political Buy-In and Involvement of Taxing Entities30:24Redevelopment Agencies and Low to Moderate Income Housing32:23Funding and Financing Options for Developers33:56Activating Downtown Areas and Reinvesting in Communities34:31Supporting Small Businesses and Economic Development38:38Attracting Businesses and Initiating Conversations39:08Understanding Motivators for Businesses and Developers47:45Incentives for Developers and Aesthetics of Projects49:51Beautification and Walkability in Community Development56:12Other Tools and Incentives for Economic Development

När drogbaronen Pablo Escobar styrde över den colombianska staden Medellín, ansågs den vara världens farligaste. Efter hans död lyckades staden förbättra sitt rykte, genom att satsa på linbanor och konstmuséer. Men sen kom Netflix-serien Narcos – och med det har sex- och kokainturismen exploderat Medellín. Nu har både USA:s ambassad och Tinder gått ut med varningar, efter att flera turister blivit mördade när de gått på dejt i staden. Programledare: Linnéa Hjortstam.

When it comes to protein consumption in menopause, there are several things to consider. Even though there's no science or medical evidence to show higher (than you grew up with or are used to) protein intakes cause kidney (renal) issues, many people still believe it's true. What is true is or anyone who has an existing renal issue, diabetes for instance, high protein diets should be discussed with and then monitored with your physician. Let's back pedal to what is “high protein.” It's very personal in interpretation. The recommended range of protein is 10-35A% of total calories. That's a large range. So, if you eat 2500 calories a day and consumed only 10% protein that would be 250 calories from protein. Protein contains 4 kcal per gram so that's 62 grams of protein. If you ate 35% of your diet from protein, you'd consume 875 kcals from protein. That would be 218 grams of protein. Anywhere between 62 and 218 grams of protein is within recommended daily amounts. That's nuts! RDAs are actually the “minimum to prevent deficiency.” Consider the meaning of that. Protein Consumption in Menopause The current recommended dietary allowance (RDA) to prevent deficiency in minimally active adults is 0.8 grams (g) of protein per kilogram (kg) of body weight. However, newer research suggests individuals trying to build muscle need more than this. It also makes sense that women over 50 with greater anabolic resistance trying to build muscle mass and lose fat will want to pay special attention to their need for protein. Consuming less protein than the body needs has been linked to decreased muscle mass. In contrast, increased protein intakes above the RDA may help increase strength and lean body mass when paired with resistance exercise. In order to build muscle, a person must consume more protein than what is broken down. This is often referred to as a net positive nitrogen balance, as protein is high in nitrogen. That is muscle protein synthesis must be greater than muscle protein breakdown for nitrogen balance to be achieved. According to the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, most healthy adults over 19 years old should get between 10-35% of their daily calories from protein. One gram of protein provides 4 calories. This means that a person who eats 2,000 calories per day would need to consume between 50 and 175 grams of protein per day. Doctors generally agree that healthy adults can safely tolerate a long-term protein intake of up to 2 g per kg of body weight per day without any side effects. However, some groups of people, such as healthy, well-trained athletes, may tolerate up to 3.5 g per kg of body weight. A 130 lb individual = 60 kg 2g per kg = 120g protein 3.5g/kg = 210g protein Varied Protein Consumption Recommendations Exist The World Health Organization in their official report on protein stated that "the most widely quoted potential problems of a high-protein diet relate to renal function and damage, but as discussed [above] the evidence for such claims in otherwise healthy individuals does not stand up to scrutiny." From Stanford Lifestyle Medicine Longevity: For adults aged 50+, we recommend consuming 1.2 – 1.6 grams of protein/kg of body weight per day (0.54 – 0.72 grams/pound body weight per day). For a 165-pound adult, this translates to roughly 90 – 120 grams of protein per day To build muscle past the age of 50, we need to eat enough protein AND do weight training and consume 30 – 35 grams of protein within two hours of the workout. Due to anabolic resistance, which increases as we age, it's recommended to increase protein intake per meal to roughly 30 – 35 grams. For those over 65, another study recommended 1.2 – 2.0 grams / kg of body weight per day. Data from the Health, Aging and Body Composition study support these findings, showing that intake of animal protein (with greater content of EAA), but not plant protein, was significantly associated with the preservation of lean body mass over three years in older adults. In dieting older adults (eating significantly below adequate caloric intake need) the loss of muscle percent was much greater in studies than in those adults consuming twice the recommended daily amount. Subjects with the highest protein intake had 40% less muscle loss than those with lowest protein intake. Muscle Mass, Body Composition and Protein Consumption in Menopause When the energy content of the protein source is accounted for, the caloric intake needed to meet the EAA requirements from plant sources of protein is considerably higher than the caloric intake from animal sources of protein. This is important to consider since obesity, especially with aging, is a major public health concern. Obesity is the most predominant factor limiting mobility in the elderly For anabolic response maximal anabolic response is ~35 g/meal For older adults it is 2x that of younger adults The amount of total intake (with at least 35 g per meal) but not the pattern of intake matters most. So, you could do a large protein intake at breakfast and dinner and moderate at lunch during the day. Or you could do a simple shake pre-workout followed by a high protein meal post workout and 2 additional meals For synthesis: 35g + at meals Weight training (with adequate rest between sessions) Movement/physical activity Sleep Optimal stress levels After just 5 days of bedrest older adults have reduced sensitivity to EAAs and greater muscle breakdown compared to young adults. Any illness or injury resulting in decreased muscle function, to be followed by decreased lean muscle mass and strength. There is a significant reduced effect of EAA synthesis with age. To maximize muscle protein accretion with resistance exercise, daily protein intakes should be approximately .7-1g per lb body weight and 35g or more per meal. To promote lean body mass retention during weight loss, protein intakes of ~2.3–3.1 g/kg/day have been advocated. The human body is capable of digesting large quantities of dietary protein. Protein Consumption in Menopause and Anabolic Resistance (H2) Reductions in LBM are primarily driven by reductions in postabsorptive rates of MPS and a reduced sensitivity to the presence of a protein bolus. To effectively prevent these declines in MPS during both postabsorptive and postprandial periods, daily protein intake have been recommended to be increased to ~2.3–3.1 g/kg/day, and leaner athletes may wish to aim for intakes at the higher end of this range. 130 lb = 60 kg 2.3 g/kg = 138 g/day 3.1 g/kg = 186 g/day Anabolic resistance in postmenopausal women There is no sex difference in basal or fed muscle protein metabolism in the young, but postmenopausal women have a greater anabolic resistance than older men. Anabolic resistance is also shown by the decreased phosphorylation in the PKB-mTOR-eIF4BP1 pathway in response to increased EAA. Peri and post-menopausal women are increasingly resistant to muscle protein anabolism due to a lack of response to exercise and amino acid uptake (due to the change in the ratio of estrogen:progesterone and sensitivity of receptor sites). Research also shows that with age, we also need more protein for the same training adaptations. Current recommended dietary allowance for protein (0.8 g/kg/day) might be inadequate for maintaining muscle health in older adults, probably as a consequence of “anabolic resistance” in aged muscle. In a report using data from 1,081 adults aged 55–85 years old, more frequent consumption of meals containing 30–45 g protein resulted in the greatest association with leg lean mass and strength. Total body strength, but particularly lower body strength is closely correlated with longevity or mortality rate. Consumption of higher protein diets does not have detrimental effects on health, including kidney function, bone health, or liver function and blood lipids according to multiple sources of research. Summary of Protein Consumption in Menopause  (H2) Women in the menopause transition should target the higher end of that range (2.2 to 2.4 grams per kilogram), aiming for the lower end on easier days and the higher end on very heavy training days. Research also indicates that when undergoing a calorie deficit, higher levels of protein intake help you keep your lean mass and lose body fat. That is, set your protein intake, and then if dieting or attempting to lose weight, create a reasonable deficit in calories but with increased protein beyond normal intake. As you reach peri and postmenopause, your anabolic resistance increases, so you want to aim to have that post-exercise protein closer to 40 grams. A protein intake of 1.0–1.2 g/kg/day has been recommended for the preservation of healthy aging muscles, while 1.2–1.5 g/kg/day of protein may be necessary in older patients with acute or chronic diseases. Elderly people with severe illness or malnutrition may need as much as 2.0 g/kg/day of protein. Very active and athletes have always been advised to consume additional protein. For midlife and older women, there's even more reason to adhere to this advice. To overcome anabolic resistance, active and menopausal women's Daily protein intake should fall within the mid- to upper ranges of current sport nutrition guidelines (1.4-2.2 g·kg-1·day-1). If you are an active woman, exercising intentionally 4 or more times a week these numbers apply to you. Using 2.2 g/kg/day is the equivalent of 1 g protein to a lb of body weight. (J Int Soc Sports Nutr. 2023 Dec) Athletes [and let's include, the very active] aiming to reduce fat mass and preserve FFM should consume protein intakes in the range of ∼1.8 - 2.7 g kg(-1) d(-1) (or ∼2.3-3.1 g kg(-1) FFM) in combination with a moderate energy deficit (-500 kcal) and the performance of some form of resistance exercise.

What's one piece of advice you can give us this Monday morning. Ali: All right, Michael, thanks for inviting me on here. You know, I'll tell you, you know, business owners, whenever you talk to these lenders, they always throw this statistic out at you. They say.You know, less than 1 percent of all dental practices, you know, fail. and they, they always throw that out there because they're excited to want you to kind of be energetic And, empower to start your own practice, um, or to buy a practice. but the reality is, is that it's really not 1 percent or less than 1%. you know, there may be very few practices that don't do well, But a lot of people suffer, right? A lot of people suffer. you know, the way to avoid suffering, the way to make the practice ownership kind of process, um, exciting and fulfilling is to limit and minimize your exposure to risk.Right? and so, with that, you know, if you're buying a practice, making sure you're doing all of your due diligence, right? you know, making sure you're looking at. you know, the patient, you know, charts, you know, looking at all the financials, looking at everything that you need to look at from a legal perspective to make sure that you're actually buying what you're buying.if you're doing a startup, you know, making sure that you have a lawyer or someone looking at your leases and making sure that's done well. Um, and then finally, I would say, you know, making sure in either scenario that you have your HR house in order, that you are hiring your employees correctly, you're giving them lunches and breaks when you're supposed to you're giving them overtime when you're supposed to doing all those things that you're supposed to do, you're actually doing from a legal perspective.And, And I think if you do those things, your risks will be minimized, and then you can not suffer. Right. And so, you know, it's a little bit unpopular, but people, people are like, Oh my gosh, less than 1 percent of dentists fail. So let's all go do it. And it's like, yeah, everybody should be in, you know, a practice owner.Absolutely. But I want to prevent you from suffering. Right. And the suffering is when You know, you don't do the right marketing, you don't have the legal, components done well, and then, and then over time you struggle and you grow not as fast as you should, you get sued, you know, you get all those things happen and, that can really impact your happiness and your drive to continue growing the practice and, uh, and, and that's one of the things, Michael, that's been my mission throughout my career has been to help young doctors get empowered to become practice owners.But doing it in a way where their risks are minimized so that they don't have those exposures long term. Michael: Got you. Okay. I like that. So one thing you mentioned is, which we appreciate that, right, the preventing the suffering, right? Because it is true. You can say you're not going to fail, but is it worth the, you know what I mean?All that, man, we've been suffering for like 20 years, 15, 10, five, right? But you mentioned have your house in order. And I know something right now, and maybe you've been seeing this, Ali, where it's like It's hard to maintain or retain those great employees sometimes and then sometimes it's even just hard to find Ali: yeah Michael: team members So what are your thoughts like on that when it comes to suffering in that sense?Ali: Yeah. Oh my gosh I'm, so glad you asked about this because this is like one of those areas that we get so many questions about here's the thing i'll tell you the number one recruiting tool hands down year over year over year Is not indeed. It's not monster. com.It's not Craig's list. It's none of those things. The number one recruiting tool for finding really good employees is your current team, Because guess what? They're going around saying to people. Yeah, because they have friends who are RDAs, DAs, hygienists, you know, whatnot and they're going to them and saying, you know what, I love where I work, you know, you know, my doctor does this and my doctor does that and, and we have so much flexibility in this regard where I get these benefits and then their friends want to join the practice, right?So I always say, It's really important from a recruitment perspective that you create an atmosphere that people want to come and the best way for people to come is by the current team recruiting them in, you know, inviting their friends. And so I always say, talk to your team and say, Hey, if you know anybody that's good, that's looking to change, please invite them in for an interview and whatnot.And you'll be surprised how many people do that if it's a good environment. If it's not a good environment, then they won't. Right. They don't want to do that. They won't invite people to come in and interview and whatnot. So, so I would say from a recruitment perspective, I would focus on that. from a legal perspective, I think, uh, you know, making sure you've got all the basic documents that you need when you're hiring everybody.Uh, you know, making sure you have an employment manual and things of that nature. I think those basics that companies like HR for health provide, I think are, great. You know, and if you do that. then that suffering goes down because the chance of a lawsuit also goes down dramatically. Michael: Well, that's interesting.Where do people normally, in your experience, drop the ball when it comes to the basics? Ali: I think they rely on companies that they shouldn't rely on for their HR. Like, for example, a lot of people will Rely on their payroll company to provide them HR documents. Well, the payroll company is a payroll company, they're going to provide you the basic documents they need for running payroll They're not an HR company, right? So so I think I think that's the first Um, the second is not having an employment manual that's up to date, and I think you know, especially with all the rule changes since covid it's super important to You To have an updated employment manual.Um, and then the third is what's called wage and hour and wage. An hour is something that's a problem nationwide because it's about paying people correctly for overtime, giving lunches at the right time of the day. Giving breaks when you're supposed to, making sure the paychecks are correct, you know, all the, things around the financial side of, payroll, um, that people make mistakes on.So, I think if you do those three things, and you do them well, you're well on your way. Michael: Ali: for health from a HR perspective. We'll make sure your hands down compliant from A to Z a hundred percent. Michael: Okay. Wow. That's amazing, man. I know you guys have a software too.Is that true? Ali: so HR4L is a SaaS based software, so it's all online, you know, the employees, you know, clock in and clock out, they sign things electronically, so everything's very sort of streamlined. Michael: Do you guys ever, if I needed like a person, you know what I mean? Like, can I need a consultant to talk about this type of like compliancy or something's happening a unique situation, right?Do you guys have that too? Ali: Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, we have a unlimited hr support actually, where they can be on the phone Uh with some one of our you know, hr experts at any time of the day Uh, really all day long, um and as many times as they need if for some reason they can't answer it then it goes one level higher to lawyers And depending on where they are in the country, they'll either be talking to, you know, our firm and someone like me or a friendly firm that does a lot of HR.but either way, you know, we take care. Michael: Yeah. Cause I know that's super important, Ali. I feel like sometimes maybe you might've seen this. We ask questions like on a forum, right? Like dental town or Facebook groups and things like that. Yeah. And people give their advice and opinions, but it's a different state.Right. Different rules, different things. And so like maternity leave, right. Or when it comes to, I don't know, like, depending on should we pay them for, lunch and learn, right. Kind of things like that. And so do you see that a lot? Ali: I do. Yeah. People, I like to think that people are good intention, Michael.And so when they go on these, uh, blogs and whatnot, whether it's Facebook groups or it's, uh, you know, like using like dental town or other things that they contribute. Because they want to be helpful, right? And they're using their own base of knowledge, but you hit it on the head. I mean, I can't tell you how many times somebody has given advice to someone else without even knowing what state they're in, you know, and if you don't know what state they're in, then you, how can you advise on any of these rules? But what people are doing is they're giving their own personal advice based on their experience, which may not be right. And what's scary is we see it sometimes where somebody takes that advice, And does something with it and then they get in trouble because it was the wrong advice, you know, and this, this happened actually recently where, you know, a young doctor coming out of school on the practice for a few years and, uh, hadn't been paying their, uh, assistance minimum wage.They weren't paying the minimum wage in the state that they were in. Why? Because they had gone on one of these groups and asked the question and the person replied with the minimum wage in their state, not in this person's state. and what's even worse, and you'll, you'll laugh at this. The payroll company that was running their payroll didn't even tell them, right? Wouldn't you think, Michael, that if you're using a payroll service and you're paying someone below state law in terms of minimum wage, they would tell you what that is? I mean, it's just like crazy. And they didn't, they didn't. And of course, You know, the employees got upset, and, uh, when they found out and it's funny because they went like almost a year, almost a whole year, like nine months without saying a word.And then that January, the law changed and, the minimum wage increased. And then the employees saw it in the news and they were like, Wait a second, like I'm being paid 14. 25. It says minimum wage went up to 16 from 15 like something like what the hell just happened, you know? Yeah, yeah.And so, so like it was a disaster, but that's what I mean by, you know, payroll companies are not HR companies. And there's so many ways of, doing this wrong. And, and remember what we were talking about in the beginning about suffering, like how bad does that doctor feel? Yeah. Right. Right. It's not like, I mean, you know, you work with doctors all the time.They're not trying to steal from employees. They're not trying to not pay them the minimum of what they, but they just make mistakes and like, it's just, you know, that's the suffering that I want to avoid. Michael: Yeah, that you want doctors to avoid. Awesome. Holly. I appreciate your time. If anyone has further questions or concerns, where can they find you?Ali: you can just go to our website if you'd like. It's, uh, d m council. com C O U N S E L. Uh, or you can call the office at 9 Um, and of course, if you just Google my name, you know, I'm everywhere. And so you guys can find me there so Michael: awesome. So that's going to be in the show notes below. If you guys want to.Go in the show notes below and check out and ask and pick Ollie's brain a little bit more. Right? Ask him any questions or concerns about this. So awesome, Ollie. Thank you so much for being with me on this Monday morning episode. Ali: Thanks, Michael. I appreciate it.‍

Året är 1573. En grupp skotska yrkessoldater har marscherat genom Sverige, från västkusten mot Stockholm. Klädda i traditionella skotska rutiga kläder och huvudbonader, och med säckpipa, trummor o dragna vapen i hand, vandrar de nu in i Stockholm. Stadsborna kantar gatorna och står häpna och hänförda. Ingen har sett en sådan syn tidigare.Skottarnas mål med resan är kriget i Baltikum där de ska delta på svensk sida, köpta som de är för att kriga för den svenske monarken, mot Ivan den förskräcklige, de ryske härskaren.Skottarna ses därför som ett välkommet tillskott, stridsvana soldater som kan krossa Ivans horder av män.På vägen till kriget har de alltså stannat till i Stockholm, den viktigaste och största staden i kung Johan III:s rike. Här ska de möta några av de mäktigaste militärerna, kungen själv, samt hålla en uppvisning med sin traditionella svärdsdans, till den speciella skotska musiken. Det kommer bli en spektakulär uppvisning. Med brinnande eldar, glimrande svärd, en dans till rytmisk musik, det delas ut gratis mat och vin till folket. Det kommer bli ett skådespel som både kungen och folket i Stockholm skulle komma att tala om i åratal framöver. Men det finns en befallning från skottarnas officerare som kretsar runt i de dansandes huvuden, en order som om den skulle iscensättas och bli verklighet skulle komma att förändra Sveriges historia för all framtid. I samband med svärdsdansen skulle nämligen kung Johan III mördas.

Acronyms: RDA = Recommended Dietary Allowance  AI = Adequate Intake  UL = Tolerable Upper Intake Level  EAR = Estimated Average Requirement About This Episode: Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) are a set of nutrient reference values, developed in the US, that are used to assess and plan the nutrient intake of healthy individuals. They provide guidelines for the recommended amounts of various nutrients to maintain health and prevent deficiencies or excesses. Different countries may have their own sets of dietary reference values or guidelines that serve similar purposes but may be named differently. DRIs include several different reference values: Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) Adequate Intake (AI) Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) DRIs play a crucial role in nutrition and public health for several reasons. DRIs provide specific recommendations for the intake of essential nutrients, helping individuals and health professionals understand the amounts needed to maintain good health. By establishing RDAs and ULs, DRIs help prevent nutrient deficiencies and toxicity, ensuring that individuals consume an appropriate range of nutrients. Governments and health organizations use DRIs to develop public health policies, nutrition programs, and guidelines for food fortification to improve the overall health of populations. For nutrition professionals, understanding DRIs is essential as it forms the basis for assessing and planning dietary recommendations for individuals and populations.   Note: This episode is one of our Premium-exclusive episodes.

Today we're going to talk about how potassium affects diabetes and high blood pressure. Diuretics are commonly used to treat high blood pressure. But, they come with side effects, including an increased risk of developing diabetes. On the flip side, ace inhibitors, also used to treat high blood pressure, protect against diabetes and lower the risk of diabetes. I believe the big difference between these two drugs, when it comes to diabetes risk, is what they do to potassium. Diuretics deplete potassium, and without enough potassium, insulin can't be released very well. A deficiency of insulin can then lead to diabetes. Ace inhibitors increase potassium by helping to prevent the loss of potassium. So why do we even need a drug—why aren't we just consuming more potassium? Many people support healthy blood pressure and healthy blood sugar levels by taking potassium. Benefits of potassium: • It protects the kidneys • It protects the heart • It helps protect against stroke • It helps protect against diabetes • It helps power the nervous system in connection with the muscles • It helps regulate sodium The RDAs for potassium are 4700 mg. It might surprise you, but bananas aren't a good source of potassium. A few of the best sources of potassium are: • Leafy greens • Potatoes • Avocado • Electrolyte powder DATA: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1619503/ https://ucfhealth.com/our-services/en... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...

Today, I want to cover some interesting information on iodine that goes way beyond what it does for the thyroid. Most of your iodine is stored in your thyroid. However, iodine is important for many other organs. The RDAs for iodine in the US are 150 mcg. But, in Japan, on average, people consume 1000 to 3000 mcg of iodine daily. They also have fewer problems associated with iodine deficiency than we do in the US. That being said, excess iodine can create just as many problems as a deficiency in iodine. I think it's most beneficial to get the iodine you need from food. Shellfish and sea kelp are rich in iodine. But there is also iodine in eggs, dairy, iodized salt, and sea salt. Unless you consume foods rich in iodine, either from the sea or from vegetables grown on the coastline, chances are you're not getting enough iodine in your diet. Iodine may help with various conditions, including: • Estrogen dominance • Heavy periods • Fibrocystic breasts • Ovarian cysts • Endometriosis • Fibroids • Prostate enlargement • PCOS • Cystic acne • TB • Croup • Asthma • Toenail fungus • Warts and skin tags • Thyroid conditions • Weight gain • Brain fog • Feeling cold (excessively) • Dry skin and hair • Constipation • Depression Top causes of iodine deficiency: • Consuming excessive amounts of raw cruciferous vegetables • Consuming millet, soy, or sweet potatoes • The vegan diet • Pregnancy and lactation • Low-salt diets • Fluoride • Bromide • Perchlorate in water • Nitrates

In this episode (which is Part 2 of our micronutrient series), Greg and Lyndsey discuss nutrient targets: where they come from, what they mean, and how to think about them. They also talk about the relative imprecision of micronutrient tracking, why micronutrient content can differ so much within a single food, and why it can be challenging to track your micronutrient intake in the first place.Want to get your question answered on the show?

We have a very, very special episode for you today. We have our friend, Julie Sawaya, and she is the co-founder of Needed. If you haven't heard us talking about Needed yet, go listen to the other episodes and get on Instagram. You guys, Needed is incredible. She is a mama of two young girls. We were just talking before the episode and her youngest is nine months. She is a lifelong nutrition nerd. I love that she calls herself this, a nutrition nerd. I'm a birth nerd. When we find ourselves passionate about something, we just nerd out, right? It's so amazing. Julie grew up in a family of medical doctors and learned at a young age the power of nutrition and how it can influence or help. Julie went on to study the issue of nutritional access in college and got her Master's in business from Stanford where she met her Needed co-founder, Ryan Of the most nutritionally aware of their friends, Julie and Ryan were shocked to realize that through nutrient testing, they were seriously major deficient in key nutrients. We don't think about it, Julie. We just don't think about this, I think, enough. We think we're taking something and we think that we're good. They found out that there was really much more needed for a healthy pregnancy. They dug into the research and they realized that they were not alone. 97% of women take a prenatal, yet 95% have nutrient deficiencies. Let me just say that again. 97% of women take a prenatal, yet 95% have nutrient deficiencies. Most prenatal vitamins just weren't cutting it and Julie and Brian started Needed to create a new, higher standard for perinatal health. Working alongside a collective of more than 3,000 perinatal nutrition and health experts, together they have redesigned the products, education, expertise, and experience that women need. Welcome to the show, Julie. I seriously am reading this and I'm like, “Oh my gosh.” This is amazing because like I was saying when I was pregnant years ago, I did not pay attention to anything. I got the bottle. I took it. Check mark.Julie: Yeah. No, I mean, I think it's a problem. The core underlying problem that we're solving at Needed is that women are nutritionally deficient in this life stage. It's a problem both with the products that are available. Most prenatal vitamins are designed to meet just the bare minimum nutrient needs, not to set you up for optimal health, and it's also an awareness or an education problem because, in some way, it's a problem that you don't know you have until you feel the effects of it. We're told it's normal to feel depleted, that it's normal to not feel your best, to feel like yourself during pregnancy or postpartum. So many of the complications of pregnancy have a nutritional root to it whether it's gestational diabetes or preeclampsia or hypertension or nausea even, or more severe nausea like hyperemesis. There is a nutritional component to it. Not to say that nutrition is a cure-all, but it's a reasonable first step in supporting your body optimally. Meagan: It's huge. Julie: What Ryan and I found when prior to starting the company is that despite how important nutrition is and yes, I am a lifelong nutrition nerd. Ryan and I are also trained nutritionists. It was truly and utterly shocking to us that we had these deficiencies but what we realized once we looked under the hood is that this problem is widespread and part of the problem stems from the fact that it's so common for women in the U.S. to see an OB. I come from a family of MDs and I have huge respect for the medical profession. But most doctors aren't trained in nutrition. It's actually not a requirement in most med schools. I think somewhere in the range of 50% of med schools don't require one nutrition course. The average OB appointment time in the US is 7 minutes long so even if an OB is trained in nutrition and has the intention to help educate their patients. OBs are generally very well-meaning. They're just people who are constrained on time and with the curriculum as we like to say, the curriculum is flawed, not the people. But even if all of the stars align in 7 minutes, you can't get all of your nutrition questions answered. What we hear again and again, the most common recommendation is, “Take a prenatal vitamin,” and then you ask, “What kind?” and then they say, “It doesn't matter. They're all the same.”Meagan: Just take one, yeah. Julie: “Just take one. Make sure it has folic acid in it,” which I'm sure we'll get into. That particular nutrient and nutrient form. But there is so much more to prenatal nutrition than vitamins and minerals. But even if you just focus on vitamins and minerals, it's really hard to pick a prenatal. There are over 100 on the market. There is a vast difference when it comes to quality. The quality of the nutrients, the quality of the nutrient forms, and dosages. We spent over three years formulating our first products with a collective of health and wellness practitioners that study perinatal nutrition and looking at all of the available clinical research on nutrient dosages and forms, and what pregnant and lactating women need. The reality is that there are a lot of nutritional gaps. That's where this collective of practitioners that are testing women's nutrient and hormone levels every single day really, really matters to understand in practice what does it take to dose? What dosing of Vitamin D do you need to give your patients to be in optimal nutrient ranges? It seems like such a basic question, but no prenatal company had done that legwork to understand what's actually optimal. Meagan: That is what I was going to say. There are so many things about Needed that I love. Honestly, one of them is how this company came about. It's two women that found that there was something lacking out there and had a passion from themselves and had passion to share it with the world. That's how The VBAC Link started. Myself and my old partner, Julie, same thing. We just found this passion so I love the heart that comes behind this company and then really what you guys have done. You've built it from somewhere where it was really mediocre if you could even call it that is incredible. Like you said, not only getting ingredients but the optimal amount. As I have compared in the past, there are so many out there that are even recommended on Amazon or wherever and they don't even have the ingredients at all let alone that optimal amount. I am so excited and honored for you to be here today and be talking to our community because I think that it is so important. Like you were saying, it's not that my provider had any ill intent to not give me that information, but it really was as I was walking out, he goes, “Oh, and by the way. Make sure to start a prenatal right now.” I was like, “Oh, okay.” That was it. That was it. I did. I found myself Googling it and found one. I was like, “Okay, cool. That one has some okay reviews.” I got it and I really didn't know the impact that it was leaving or lack thereof. Julie: Yeah, totally. I think some of that comes from there is misunderstanding that a prenatal vitamin is for the baby. By and large, unless you have massive nutrient deficiencies, the baby's going to get what he or she needs to develop properly, but often at the expense of your own nutrient reserves. As a mom of multiples, you know that oftentimes, women experience and understand the pain point more as a second-time or third-time mom than as a first-time mom because once you've been through pregnancy and birth and if you choose to breastfeed or pump, you can feel it viscerally how depleting that experience is maybe more so than a first-time mom that hasn't yet been through it all. In some ways, it's an experience that has to be lived to fully appreciate the problem probably much like the topic of VBACs. You go into a first birth maybe not fully understanding how one birth choice or one birth outcome will impact the second birth choice or birth outcome. What we're really trying to do at Needed is to raise awareness so that you can make the best choices possible with the information that you have. That's all that it's about. It's not about what I would have done differently with one pregnancy versus another. It's not at all. Any of the information we share is not in any way meant to shame or add guilt. There is so much of that mom guilt, so much of that fear-mongering out there. That is the antithesis of who we are as a company. But we find that when you're empowered with the right information, you can make better-informed decisions so that's a huge part of what our mission is here at Needed. Meagan: Yeah. Yeah, I mean we can relate to so much of that over here. I didn't know what I didn't know when I had through perinatal care to birth to recovering after a C-section. We grow from our journeys. Yeah. There's never any more shame. Mom guilt is way too thick. We lay it on way too thick, especially with social media. So here we are today to have this episode so you can start learning and growing and finding that information so you can make the best choice for you and your growing baby or maybe through your fertility journey or nursing journey or whatever part of the journey that you are in, Needed has so many incredible things, really it all. I'm sorry, but you kind of have it all out there. It's just amazing. So thank you so much. Yeah, let's get into some of these questions. Julie: Yeah, I'm excited. Meagan: Me too. Okay, so one of the questions is what is the importance of a prenatal vitamin? Really, why? We're being told to take these prenatal vitamins and we were just a little bit talking about how there are a lot of things that we need, but why do we really need them and does it matter if we don't take them?Julie: Yeah, that's a great question. I like to answer it with a look back at context from nature because first and foremost, I think people are right to have skepticism about supplements in general. Do I need them? Why do I need them? Is it just snake oil in general? I think something that was an aha moment for me as someone who was a little bit of a, “Food is my medicine, not supplements.” That's the perspective I came into before starting Needed. I think it's really helpful to understand that one of the main reasons we need supplements generally and then specifically at the life stage of pregnancy or the perinatal stage is because our soil is depleted. Food isn't as nutritious as it once was and it tends to take a lot longer to reach us than it used to. We're not generally growing our own food. We don't necessarily know who is growing our own food. Even if you shop at the farmers market as Ryan and I did at the time. We were testing our nutrients way back 6 years ago when we started Needed. Your food can still be depleted because the soil quietly is depleted. We're also subject to a lot more environmental toxins which that toxic load increases baseline nutrient requirements. Your body has to consume more nutrients to operate at homeostasis because of the burden of toxins it's trying to process effectively. Meagan: Yeah. Julie: We have a great book posted on our website. The title is “Why Your Grandmother Didn't Take Prenatal Vitamins But You Should.” It's really talking about these factors that are an evolution of modern life.We also now know as we didn't previously how important some nutrients are, especially nutrients like folate which is vitamin B9. It's really critical for babies' brain and neural tube formation. Folate's sister nutrient is choline. It's a super important nutrient for many of the same reasons– brain development, cognitive function, neural tube formation. Those are nutrients you don't want to skip out on in that even with your best intentions, you might be deficient it. 95% of women are deficient in– sorry about that. I have a rowdy dog. 95% of women are deficient in the nutrient choline. It's most abundant in eggs, liver, and foods like that but in the first trimester, many women have a food aversion to eggs. I certainly was not consuming any liver in my first trimester. Meagan: Yeah, I was going to say that liver never crossed the path of my pregnancy, unfortunately, or fortunately. Julie: Yeah, not at all. Yeah, but in any event, at a high level, prenatal vitamins are there to fill the gaps in your diet. I think that a misunderstanding and the way that prenatal vitamins have been formulated historically is that they're dosing around a concept called the RDA level which is basically a dosage framework that came out of World War II when the government was trying to determine how to set nutrient levels to avoid serious diseases like scurvy, like a significant deficiency of vitamin C. The entire concept of an RDA is rooted in this idea of, what's the bare minimum amount of a nutrient I need to give someone to avoid a disease or worse like famine or starvation. Minimalistic, not optimal. There's a big order of magnitude of difference of what amount of vitamin C your body needs to avoid scurvy versus what it needs to support postpartum tissue healing and repair and optimal immune health during pregnancy or optimal reference ranges. But at a high level, basically, prenatal vitamins are there to fill in the gaps in your diet. They are, unfortunately, a necessity because of our modern food system and they are especially important at a life stage like pregnancy and breastfeeding when your body will never have higher nutrient needs than it does in these life stages. It's really, really critical that you're getting the right nutrients. As I said earlier, it's not just for the baby. It's for you too. I think that a concept that we're really passionate about is centering women in this journey because ultimately, your baby is most likely going to get what they need but you might be left depleted and that depletion can have long-term impacts. If you want to have two kids or three kids or ten kids, your body has fewer nutrient reserves to give to the next baby with each sequential baby unless you are replenishing those nutrient stores. If your family feels complete, it's still important to supplement throughout the postpartum and a time period thereafter to support your hormone health and your thyroid health. Just general vitality and overall well-being. I think it's super common for women to say that it took them several years to feel like themselves post-pregnancy and a lot of that can be tied back to nutrient deficiencies. Meagan: Yeah, something that you said that resonated with me is that through each pregnancy, my life became busier because I had little toddlers and newborns. You know, all of these things around. So like you were saying at the beginning, you were like, “I can get it through my food. I can get it through my food.” Yes. Food definitely is impactful but obviously, as we know, is not as great as it used to be. Not only was it not as great as it used to be, but when I was really, really busy running around, I'm going to tell you right now that I was not eating correctly. I wasn't even getting enough calories at the time let alone the right foods. I was like, “Oh. There's a Nutrigrain bar. Let me just grab that because I'm hungry.” I wasn't grabbing the right things or enough. It just goes to show that as we keep going on too, it's so important. Julie: Yeah. That's absolutely the reality. I think where it's almost more important to take supplements with each subsequent pregnancy for that reason or even in the postpartum period because when you're pregnant with your first, you generally speaking have more time than you do in postpartum with your first. And in postpartum with your first, you generally have more time than pregnancy with your second or third or fourth so that's absolutely right. Meagan: Yeah. I would also remember breastfeeding my baby even in the middle of the day and just feeling sucked. Literally dry of energy and everything. Julie: Hydration and nutrients. Meagan: Hydration, yep. My mouth was getting dry. It just goes to show that you are feeling it. You are literally feeling your body change right there. Okay, so now we know it's definitely important to take prenatal vitamins in the perinatal/postpartum stage and everything. But what ingredients should we focus on? We talked a little bit about folate and choline. What should we be looking at when it comes to the back of our bottle? Are those really the two main ones or are there more ingredients that are like, “Hey, we really need to be focusing on these and if we don't see them on the back of our prenatal, we should have our alarms going off”? Julie: Yeah. There are really 24 vitamins and minerals that Needed has chosen to include in our prenatal vitamins because they are the ones that have the most clinically validated need for them. Choline and folate are two really important ones. I think they are really easy ones to scan a bottle for or a supplement facts panel and see not only does this have choline in it, but what's the dosage? The most common dosage of choline– it's a nutrient that has had an RDA. We talked about RDAs. It's a minimum amount. It's at an RDA of 450mg in pregnancy for 20+ years, 550 for lactation. The most common dosage of choline in a prenatal vitamin is 0, followed by 55mg which is 1/10 of the breastfeeding RDA. RDAs are the minimum. They're taking 1/10th of that in most prenatal vitamins. The reason for that isn't because you're getting all of the extra from your diet. It's because choline is a bulky nutrient that is hard to fit into a one-a-day prenatal. It's hard to fit into a gummy. You just really can't effectively do so. To dose it optimally, you need to include it in multiple capsules or in a powdered form like we offer. One of our options for a prenatal vitamin is a powder which is really, really great, especially for those bulkier nutrients like choline. The other bulky nutrients that are really important are calcium and magnesium. I would look for dosages of at least 200mg of those two ingredients. Ideally, magnesium and other minerals are in the glycinate form. Sometimes that's on a label as magnesium bis-glycinate or magnesium bound to glycine. Glycine is an essential amino acid that just helps with absorption, keylation basically, the usability of that nutrient in the body so that's a really important one. Other nutrients I suggest scanning a panel to see if they are in there– vitamin D is a telling one. I think nearly every prenatal vitamin will have vitamin D in it but the dosage matters and the form. Some prenatal use a less-absorbed form called vitamin D2. We recommend the D3 form. We also suggest looking for at least 2000 international units, IUs or more optimally would be 4000. Our prenatal vitamin capsules and multi-powder have 4000 and then our essentials multi which is a paired-down version in only three capsules has 2000. Those are the ranges that we typically like to see for vitamin D. Vitamin D is best absorbed with vitamin K. Make sure that vitamin K is on that supplement facts panel and 90 is the dosage that we tend to look for vitamin K. It should be in the K2 form. That's the best-absorbed one. Those are some key ones. The other things to look for are– I think we'll probably get into the question of what form of folate so let's have that's conversation. Meagan: Yeah.Julie: If you're told nothing else about prenatal nutrition, you're probably told to take folic acid which is the manmade synthetic form of the nutrient folate. Folate is naturally occurring in food. It's an essential nutrient. We talked about its use in the body. It's really important for babies' neural tube formation so for spina bifida. That's why it's emphasized usually in the first trimester because the neural tube fully closes during the first trimester. It's a nutrient that is so, so important and many women don't know they're pregnant until well into the first trimester so it's pretty common to hear that you should start taking it preconception which we definitely agree with, with one caveat which is that the synthetic form of folic acid is not readily used by the body. Many women have a genetic variation, MTHFR which makes it impossible for their bodies to convert synthetic folic acid into the usable form of folate. Instead, Needed uses methylfolate which is a naturally occurring form of folate. It's the active form meaning it doesn't have to go through the conversion process. It's been shown in clinical research to be better utilized by the body, especially for those with the MTHFR. There is controversy out there of folic acid versus methylfolate. Primarily what the controvery stems from is the fact that the clinical studies on folate for neural tube defects was done with folic acid. That's because the research is old. It's 30 years old. Now that we know how important folate is to neural tube defects, it would be unethical to do a clinical study with a double-blind placebo controlled study where you're putting women on a placebo that has no folate in it versus one that has folate in it. We know the risk factors. We don't want to induce spinal cord issues or neural defects. So a lot of those who are pro-folic acid are relying on stale research. Really, this argument is that all of the clinical research around neural tube formation is on folic acid. We're not arguing with that. That's actually a true statement. But there's a huge wealth of research showing that head-to-head comparing methylfolate versus folic acid, methylfolate is better absorbed by the body. 96% of the circulating folate in your body is methylfolate so that's pretty clear evidence in support of it. Mechanistically, in the body, how we're preventing neural tube formations is the serum folate status of mom. There is research showing that methylfolate raises serum folate status in mom in the same way or better than folic acid does. We have a really well-researched blog post on this topic on our website. It's dense. Maybe we can link to it in the show notes for those who want to learn more, but there is a reason why many of the higher-quality prenatal vitamins are including methylfolate, not folic acid. I would tend to distrust– there are some out there who are saying, “Oh, it's a designer prenatal vitamin. They're just trying to charge you more.” The reality is that methylfolate is so much more expensive than folic acid. You could make a lot higher profit margin if you used folic acid than methylfolate. I think it's around 100 times more expensive which is also why most of the clinical research is relying on folic acid. Folic acid is a nutrient that is often fortified in cereals and bread, so there's also a food lobby that has an interest in keeping folic acid in things and not methylfolate because it would be cost-prohibitive to include methylfolate in a $3.00 box of cereal. Meagan: Interesting. Julie: Yeah, there are a lot of factors. I don't want to bog listeners down in all of this information, but this is a really good nutrient to highlight how much information and nuance and research goes into selecting optimal nutrient forms and optimal nutrient dosages. It's a quick way of saying that we did a tremendous amount of research and there is a lot of evidence behind what we're including in the Needed prenatal. We include references for every single nutrient that we use for those who are, like me, nutrition nerds that want to go many layers deep. For those of you who are like, “Oh my god. This is over my head,” I would say that the core message is that we've done extensive research and these nutrients have been utilized in practice with perinatal nutrition and health experts for decades. This isn't newly redesigned. We did design our prenatal vitamin from the ground up, but the insights, expertise, and recommendations behind it have been put into practice for many, many decades. Really, what Needed did was bring together all of this inside of a single product instead of previously how practitioners were having to say, “Okay, go take this magnesium and this vitamin D and this prenatal and this amount of choline,” because no prenatal had everything that you needed in one package. Meagan: Right. That is another reason why I love and trust you guys so much. Literally, it's all of the research that has gone into creating such a solid product for the birth community so I love that. Thank you so much for explaining that because yeah, it definitely is a hot debate sometimes. Julie: Yeah. I think it's good to have that. We love a healthy debate. We work with practitioners. We actually have now almost 4000 practitioners in our community. It includes OBs. It includes reproductive endocrinologists but it also includes a lot of registered dieticians and naturopathic doctors and functionally-trained practitioners. We're collaborating with all of them when designing products. We appreciate that some people come from different training backgrounds. Some people might have different skepticism and all voices are welcome. We want to have a construction conversation on this specific topic of folate versus folic acid, sometimes, the status quo argument is unwilling to hear the other side. It's nuanced and that's why we have a great blog post on the topic. Also, if you're just early in your research and want a basic primer on what to look for in a prenatal vitamin, we also have that free resource available on our website as well as a review of over 75 of the prenatal vitamins on the market. It compares the pros, the cons, and overall recommendations. So if you love your prenatal, but it doesn't have choline or it doesn't have magnesium, we'll give you those recommendations on how to supplement or how to get more of those nutrients from your diet. Again, we're really not trying to tell you, “Everything you're doing is wrong.” It's really about how you can upgrade what you're doing or make small changes on the margin that can have a huge benefit for you and your baby. Meagan: Yeah. I was going to say, All I can see is that it's an improvement. We're making improvements. We grow and make improvements in everything in our day-to-day lives. This is one that is really important so that's why we're doing this today. We're sharing this so we can make improvements. Sometimes just it's just small tweaks to benefit ourselves. Okay, so now we're talking about all of the things that we really should be looking for nutrient-wise during pregnancy. Are there any nutrients we really should be avoiding taking during pregnancy and through your guys' research, have there been some of those ingredients even in prenatals out there? We were just talking about folic acid and folate, but are there any where you are like, “Okay, if you see this, this is one of those tweaks that you really should make”?Julie: Yeah, it's a great question. We talked about folic acid. We would suggest avoiding that nutrient. The other very common nutrient form that we suggest avoiding is a form of B12 called cyanocabalamin. It's easy to remember because it's actually derived from a cyanide molecule. There is just not research to substantiate. It's a synthetic nutrient form. It doesn't exist in nature and there's not safety data to suggest why you'd want to consume cyanocabalamin. We're leveraged the two naturally-occuring active forms, methocobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. We use those in a 50-50 ratio. Try to avoid cyanide if you can. Try to avoid synthetic folic acid. We're always using nutrient forms that exist in nature and we think that that's the best way to make sure that we're on the side of safety. It's often contrary to cost. Those synthetic nutrient forms tend to be cost-effective but they really don't necessarily perform as nature intended. Meagan: Right. Julie: And then another one that's maybe a little counterintuitive or nuanced is the nutrient iron. Most prenatal vitamins have iron in them. We chose not to include iron in our prenatal for a few reasons. Iron is absolutely an essential nutrient for pregnancy and postpartum. It supports your blood volume. Your blood volume effectively doubles in pregnancy and you lose blood postpartum. It's a super important nutrient for avoiding anemia and for just overall blood volume expansion during pregnancy. The reason to not include it in a prenatal is that your needs vary by trimester or by stage. We wanted to make a prenatal vitamin that was safe to take before, during, and after pregnancy and safe for all women to be taking. Iron also competes with calcium and other nutrients for absorption in the body. Oftentimes, prenatals will just include both calcium and iron and you can be pretty well-assured that the calcium that you're taking isn't going to be absorbed in that case. Or sometimes they just leave calcium but they don't tell you that you should take calcium at a different time of day. We've kept calcium in our prenatal and we offer iron as a separate add-on. The advantage of that is that you can take exactly what you need. If you've done any iron testing, which is pretty common in pregnancy, you can tailor the dosage to your ferritin levels. That's the type of iron testing we recommend. And then taking it at a different time of day ensures you're absorbing all of the calcium that you need as well as all of the iron that you need. We like delivering iron in the kelated form bound to glycine. It's much gentler on the stomach. A lot of prenatals have a really high dose of iron in a form that's not well-absorbed. It can cause GI issues and then women will stop taking their prenatal because they say it makes them nauseous. Meagan: Yes!Julie: There are many reasons why we think that iron in a prenatal is suboptimal. I think if you don't know that information, you might scan prenatals like Needed's and say, “Oh, it doesn't include iron. That's a problem,” and it's actually a really intentional choice so I like to call that nutrient out. Meagan: I love that you talked about that because as a doula, we actually do have a lot of clients who pee on a stick, see it's positive, and start looking for a prenatal. We have clients that do hire us in that stage and we're always there for our clients. They'll be writing us and be like, “We're just so sick and it seems to be after I take my prenatal,” so they stop taking their prenatal because it makes them sick or their nausea gets so intense when in fact, it's not what we should be viewing. Again, not to shame anyone if you've stopped taking your prenatal. We should be taking our prenatal, but we don't think about that. I love that you guys have done that. I've been sharing it since I learned about this. I've been sharing that with my clients really early on because I think it's really important. Something also I love about your products is that there is a lot that can help with nausea as well. Julie: Yeah. I'm glad you mentioned that because that's one of the key reasons why it's really, really beneficial to start taking a prenatal vitamin before you try to conceive. We suggest up to 6-12 months before conception getting on a high-quality prenatal vitamin for a couple of reasons. One is that it can support cycle regularity so ovulation and healthy ovulation. It can also support egg quality. We have now a separate add-on, egg quality support, which is amazing in helping your egg follicles as they mature into egg cells before ovulation which is great. And then it can help you to build up your nutrient stores. Oftentimes, and I've been there. I've had first-trimester nausea despite all of my best attempts and taking all of the right supplements. Sometimes it just happens. You can minimize nausea by having adequate nutrient stores prior to conceiving. And then if you do find yourself with severe nausea in the first trimester, if your nutrient levels are optimal pre-conception, it's more tolerable to skip a day or two of your prenatal vitamin because your levels were already in a great range before so your body has enough nutrient stores. I'm not advocating not taking your prenatal in the first trimester, but if life happens and you skip some days, the fact that you started early on means that your body is going to have enough of those nutrients to draw upon to get you through to the second trimester when hopefully you're feeling much better. Meagan: Right. If we have really bad nausea and vomiting and we're throwing up all of the time, we're also losing nutrients, so it's a whole cycle. It all goes together. Julie: Yep. It sure does. It sure does. Not to push our products, that's not what this is about, but I would say hydration, hydration, hydration for nausea. We have hydration support if you are interested at all in trying it, I suggest trying it. It has the right nutrient ratios for pregnancy. It's made without artificial sweeteners. It just has monk fruit which is naturally occurring. It comes in three flavors, three very first-trimester-friendly flavors. They are citrusy so grapefruit, lime, and lemon. But you can also make hydration stuff at home. You can just take a glass of water and put in some sea salt. You can add a squeeze of lemon. You can add in– you probably have your own recipe for a labor aid, but that's another use of our hydration support during labor. Hydration can really impact. It's like the chicken and the egg. “I'm nauseous. I don't want to drink water. Water makes me nauseous,” but also if you're dehydrated, nausea is worse. I would really recommend trying to stay hydrated during the first trimester if you can. Meagan: Yeah, absolutely. From the first trimester to the end, sometimes we can have early prodromal labor and stuff like that when we're actually dehydrated. Julie: Exactly. Meagan: It's just so, so, so important the whole time. Julie: And just to support that blood volume expansion that we were talking about that takes place in the second and third trimester. It has to come from nutrients but largely water. Your amniotic fluid levels increase. Sometimes they decrease too and they risk you out of a VBAC or a home birth and the things that you want for your birth outcome. So yeah. Hydration is key. It's your mom's advice, “Make sure you're drinking enough water,” but it's really true. Meagan: It really is true. My kids all roll their eyes at me. They're really big into sports and I'm like, “No, your body, your muscles, and everything needs that hydration.” Okay, so we've talked about when it's good. We've talked about taking it before. One of the questions is, “Oh, I've had my baby. I'm done with my prenatal vitamin, right?” But we talked a little bit and skimmed the surface about why it is important to take it during breastfeeding. We talked a little bit about how it's still depleting our bodies, but after having a baby, how long should we be taking these? Then if we want a close baby, is it something that we should just continue?Julie: Yeah. Yeah, great questions. The minimum that we would recommend is 6 months after delivery and that is whether or not you are breastfeeding. So from your choice or from how things turn out and you aren't lactating, it's still beneficial to give your body that time to replenish because pregnancy and labor are really depleting events on the body. It just takes time to rebuild those nutrient stores. That's the minimum. So yes. Please, keep taking a prenatal vitamin postnatally. There are postnatal vitamins on the market. Generally, that is a marketing differentiation, not a product-quality differentiation. Most postnatal vitamins are almost identical to their prenatal counterparts except for a couple of nutrients where they take maybe 25mg more vitamin C which is less than you would get from one strawberry. It's basically a marketing play. We skipped that step and we just offer one prenatal vitamin that's appropriate for the entire perinatal, before, during, and after stage. And then if you are breastfeeding or pumping or otherwise producing milk, we recommend staying on a prenatal vitamin for that full duration of time. If you can give your body a couple of months once you stop lactating, that's really beneficial for the same reasons we just discussed. It gives your body a chance to recuperate. There is a concept known as the recuperative interval when we're thinking about pregnancy spacing if you're having multiple kids. I myself did not do this. I breastfed my first daughter basically until the day my second daughter was born. Maybe not optimal– optimal in some ways, not optimal in others. Meagan: Really common, though. Julie: Really common. Yep. Meagan: A lot of people do it and then they want to feed both babies. Julie: Exactly. Or maybe you can breastfeed until you're pregnant with the second. In any event, that is a reason why you should keep taking your prenatal vitamin because it ensures that your body has enough nutrients to give to your baby. Basically, the order of operations is going to be growing baby gets first, older baby gets second, and mom gets last. So if you are nursing while pregnant, if you are tandem feeding, that's what your body is going to do. It's evolutionary. Your body is really smart. Except for in the example that we talked about in the recording about severe postpartum hemorrhaging, your body's first priority will be surviving but second to that, your body is going to give to baby before it gives to older baby before it gives to itself. Make sure to take your prenatal vitamin all throughout. I think that's a general misunderstanding. A lot of women are like, “I'm not pregnant anymore.” Men, when looking at the category when Ryan and I were starting the company, they're like, “It's 9 months. You're going to have a customer for a maximum of 9 months.” We were like, “Just frankly, you're wrong,” because this is a life stage that women are in for five years, or seven years, or ten years. It's a much longer life stage when you account for trying to conceive, pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, trying again, or preparing to conceive again. That's why this is a consequential decision and taking care of your body during those five or ten or one or two really intensive nutritional years can set you up for long-term health and your babies up for long-term health for the rest of their life. Meagan: Yeah, absolutely. I was one of those after my first. My provider didn't say, “Continue taking these vitamins.” That wasn't even a discussion. It was, “How are you feeling? What birth control would you like?” That's really the conversation that we had. Again, we're not shaming the provider for that but that's just following the script. “Okay. We're six weeks. This is what we're doing.” I just needed so much more. Julie: At six weeks, honestly, nutritionally depletion-wise, you are nowhere near recovered even if your scar is healing well from a Cesarean or if your stitches are healing well from a vaginal delivery. Emotionally and physically, we are very much postpartum at that point. Even at the stage I am now at 9 months postpartum, this is still postpartum. We call it the fourth trimester sometimes which at least allows for three months, but in a lot of years, it's two years after having a baby that your body is still returning to homeostasis, whatever that homeostasis is for you. Meagan: Right, and then by then, we're kind of entering that prenatal stage again. Julie: You could be. Exactly. Meagan: Right? A lot of people are. I love this. Okay, so a couple more questions. I know we are kind of running out of time, but collagen is a big thing that I never really heard about when I was pregnant. The words didn't even come out of anyone's mouth. I honestly didn't even read it online. You guys have prenatal protein collagen or collagen protein. I think it's important to talk about that too because it can impact us in a really positive way not only during but especially after healing from surgery or anything. We've got tissues that are healing so I don't know if you'd like to share a little bit about the protein. Julie: I'd love to. I think that this is something that we are super passionate about and something I learned a lot about when we were in the formulation stage. We know that protein requirements increase substantially in pregnancy. You need 80-100g of protein a day. That is the low end of the range. There is newer research showing that you need upwards of 140g of protein a day. That's a lot to hit when you're pregnant. Those needs are there because you're growing a baby obviously. Amino acids are the building blocks of life, the organ that you're growing, the placenta, and blood sugar regulation. Especially as your blood volume is expanding, protein is really important for stabilizing blood sugar and for a lot of other things. We love collagen proteins specifically because it's a single ingredient. It's really cleanly sourced. Plant-based proteins can be high in heavy metals whereas we don't find that to be the case with collagen protein. The amino acids in collagen protein are specifically really beneficial for pregnancy. Two of them, glycine and proline, are conditionally essential meaning that your body can't synthesize them on their own. They have to be consumed by food and many of us are not consuming the foods that are high in glycine and proline like the carcasses of animals and the skins and bones. It's just not very common, especially in pregnancy. We tend to eat boneless, skinless chicken breast. Maybe some even have animal protein aversions during pregnancy. Collagen is an awesome form of glycine and proline and overall meets your protein needs. It's effectively flavorless. You can blend it into smoothies. It blends really well with our prenatal multivitamin powder. You can mix it, especially for those first-trimester mamas, into mac and cheese. You can mix it into just about anything to get some protein in even when you're feeling a bit nauseous. Then for postpartum, why it's beneficial is that your skin tissue stretches. It needs to recover whether that's because you had a vaginal delivery or a Cesarean. Collagen can be really, really helpful for tissue healing and repair and recovery in that regard. The last thing I should mention is that the placenta is actually comprised of collagen so it really makes a lot of sense to be consuming those building blocks when you're making your new organ for pregnancy. Meagan: Yeah. I want to share with you guys that I love it in my oatmeal. Julie: Yeah, that's awesome. Meagan: I put it in my oatmeal. I'll put some apples and a little bit of cinnamon and it works really well. I actually put a little bit of yogurt. It's amazing. Julie: I sneak it into my daughter's oatmeal. She calls it sprinkles. Kids have lower protein requirements than adults of course, but it helps to balance out their blood sugar too in a really beneficial way. Making sure she's not bouncing off the walls more than necessary. Meagan: I love that. I love that. That's something too I love. A lot of this is really good for kids. We could go into it. There are so many other products. There are a lot that my kids love as well. Okay, so the last question, we kind of talked about this in the beginning how we can get this through food. It's hard to get that because we're not typically eating carcasses and skin and liver, right? Julie: Yep. Meagan: So what are some foods that we can drop for this audience to eat that help us during pregnancy just in general and in postpartum that will help us in addition to Needed and other products? Julie: Well, I would say that in general, we are huge advocates for food. You can't out-supplement a bad diet. Food should be a critical component of your nutrition plan. It's just really hard sometimes to eat optimally. But foods to focus on during pregnancy, are lots of organic if you can, leafy greens, vegetables, and fruits. Eat the rainbow. I think some people tend to be afraid of fruits because of the sugar content and gestational diabetes but there is fiber in fruit. Unlike fruit juice, there is actually fiber in fruit. You can pair it with something like nut butter to add a little bit of protein and fat to help with blood sugar stability. Other things to focus on are prebiotics and probiotic-rich foods like kimchi and depending on your stance on it, I drink kombucha during pregnancy. There is a tiny, tiny, tiny amount of alcohol in it but the benefits to me outweigh any potential risk of alcohol content. Sauerkraut is another really great one and fiber. A lot of women during pregnancy have hemorrhoids or they're constipated so foods that are rich in fiber are generally very good for you and your baby. Probably one of my favorites when I'm pregnant– I tend to fall off the wagon a little bit postpartum because you have a newborn and whatnot, but I'm usually really good at smoothies during pregnancy. Smoothies are a great way. You can put our collagen in it or our prenatal multivitamin powder. If you are not a capsules fan, you can even take our pre-probiotic and add it or vitamin D. You can add in a lot of our capsule products. Just break open the capsule and dump the powder contents into the smoothie. That's a really great way to put in greens and fruits and whatever else– nuts, seeds. That's a great way to get in your fat content. That's definitely one of my favorites as well as depending on the season. If you're pregnant more in the winter months, you can make soups. Stir the collagen protein into the soup. Try to load it with those other fruits, vegetables, and fiber-type-rich foods.But I think we're really, really passionate about debunking some of the concerns around pregnancy like pregnancy weight gain. You are eating for two. It doesn't mean you should go load up on ice cream and pretzels and chips. Some of that in moderation is totally fine, but think about nutrient density. That's what you're going for both for you and your baby. It's going to help you avoid depletion, to feel better. Pregnancy, even if you're eating well, is pretty uncomfortable so I think eating foods that are going to nourish you and leave you feeling good is definitely the priority. We do share some really great recipe ideas over on our Instagram. A couple of people in our network that you can check out if you're looking for more food recommendations, the prenatal nutritionist, Ryann Kipping, has a prenatal nutrition library that is full of really great food-based nutrition ideas. We also love the work of Lily Nichols. She's really popular with midwives and doulas also. She wrote a book called “Real Food for Pregnancy” that has some great, practical tips for nutrient-dense meals. A lot of what she's recommending is going to sound familiar from this podcast like collagen and eating more meat than you might think you need and eating more. Honestly, I say this coming from the perspective of having been a vegetarian and a vegan for a long time. I think that you can do that during pregnancy but you have to be really intentional about protein and about nutrients like vitamin D and choline. It's much more difficult but it's possible. I would not advise undergoing a vegetarian or a vegan pregnancy without working with a dietician or a nutritionist to help you figure out what those nutritional gaps could be. Meagan: That's a really good point because we do. We know we all eat differently and we all have different allergies and things that have developed so that is really, really important to know. We are going to have all of these links that she is mentioning like the blogs, the recipes, all of this linked in the show notes. So if you want to go and dive in–Julie: Nerd out with us. Meagan: Nerd out and get your teeth sinking into this, then check it out because you guys, Needed is just amazing. Really, it's such an honor to have had you on today to be talking about this. Julie: Thank you for having me. Meagan: Because it is so important. With my first and second pregnancies, I was healthy-ish but each pregnancy got better because I learned more. Julie: Isn't that amazing that there is this concept of, “Oh, you're too old or you're subsequent.” If I have a third, I'll be a geriatric mom but it's so much more about your health span or your health status than it is about age in some ways you can have your healthiest pregnancy at 40 if you're doing the right things and taking care of your body in the right way. Meagan: Yeah. Yeah. My best pregnancy was the older one. The oldest that I was. I was the oldest in my pregnancy and it was my best pregnancy. It just impacts. I wanted to touch a little bit on what you said that sometimes we hesitate to eat or we are eating the right things. Women of Strength, if you are listening, I know that as a person wanting to have a VBAC and as a mama wanting to have a VBAC, sometimes we get scared of the world out there saying, “Your baby is too big and you can't have a vaginal birth.” I saw just today three posts in our community, “A doctor said that my baby is too big.” Then we sometimes tend to hold back and not get the right nutrients, right? Not purposely, but purposely because we're trying not to make too big of a baby because we really want this vaginal birth. It's all twisted and I don't love it, but it's really important to remember like she was saying, get these nutrient-dense foods in you and don't be scared to supplement. Don't be scared to supplement because our bodies and babies deserve it. We deserve it. Julie: Yep. And on the other side of birth, I tend to feel that bigger babies sometimes sleep better. They sometimes eat better. My second daughter was almost 9 pounds, but the first daughter was late. She was born almost at 42 weeks. I was so nervous about it, but she was a champion sleeper and feeder. I think there is a lot of natural wisdom in that your body knows how big of a baby to grow and your body knows how long to carry that baby for. But I loved this conversation. I think it's so important. It might not be immediately intuitive why nutrition and birth outcomes go so hand-in-hand, but they do.Oftentimes, what risks women out of the birth that they want whether it's a VBAC or just a primary first-time vaginal birth is a factor that can be traced back to nutrition like preterm labor or gestational diabetes or whatnot. We are very aligned on the idea that nutrition for prevention and for optimal outcomes. Meagan: Yeah. Yeah. I had a client during COVID who had pre-eclampsia. She got it at 18 weeks. She had a home birth planned and all of these amazing things planned. She had to completely shift gears. The second one, she was like, “I'm going to start trying soon and I'm going to dive in.” She did. She dove in and changed so many things and had an incredible, incredible home birth with her second. She was like, “I really do feel that because I fed my body and fueled my body, it gave back.” We know that sometimes we do all of the right things, everything, and still, we have undesired outcomes. But if we can do everything within our control, if we can do what we can within our control– Julie: That's exactly it. Yeah, I'm nodding my head here because we keep saying to ourselves and are starting to say more externally that there is so much on this journey that you can't control. You can do everything right and still have things not go as you want. That's just a reality. But nutrition is a big one that you can control so why not focus on the things that you can control and let go of the rest? Meagan: Right. Absolutely. Well, we will end on that note because I think that is such a powerful ending point. I want to share with everybody that we are going to have the link in the show notes, but if you want to go check out Needed and all of the amazing products because we just barely touched on a few today, you can go to thisisneeded.com to learn more about Julie and Ryan and go learn about their partners. There are a lot of partners that we've actually had on the show. We just love you guys. We appreciate you so much so thank you for taking the time today.Julie: Absolutely.

The Root Cause Medicine Podcast is created by Rupa Health, the best way to order, track & manage results from 30+ lab companies in one place for free. The Root Cause Medicine Podcast is a weekly one-on-one conversation with renowned medical experts, specialists, and pioneers who are influencing the way we look at our health and wellbeing. This week we're joined by Chris Kresser, Founder and CEO of Kresser Institute. In this episode, Chris Kresser and Dr. Carrie Jones dive into nutrient deficiency and talk about vital macronutrients and micronutrients, nutrient testing, RDAs, and more. Chris Kresser is a globally-renowned expert, clinician, and practitioner of integrative and functional medicine. He is the creator of one of the world's most respected natural health sites, ChrisKresser.com, and a New York Times bestselling author of The Paleo Cure and Unconventional Medicine. Chris was named one of the 100 most influential people in health and fitness by Greatist.com and launched the supplement line Adapt Naturals. In 2014, he co-founded California Center for Functional Medicine and, in 2015, founded the Kresser Institute. Chris continues to tirelessly share evidence-based insights from reputable sources and renowned health practitioners and coaches through various channels such as his blogs, guides, webcasts, interviews, and his podcast, Revolution Health Radio. Key Takeaways: The perfect diet A healthy diet should meet your nutrient needs. There are two major nutrient categories, macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, and fat) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients). When you break down micronutrients, there are nutrients that we get from animals and nutrients that we get from plant-based foods. Animal nutrients include vitamin B12, iron, zinc, vitamin A, creatine, vitamin D, and high-quality protein. If you're eating an exclusively plant-based diet, that doesn't mean you can't get these nutrients in other ways. But you have to acknowledge that animals are a much better source of these essential vitamins and minerals. On the flip side, vitamin C can almost be exclusively found in plant foods, as well as phytonutrients such as carotenoids, lycopene, betaine, and lutein. The truth about nutrient testing The processing and storage of nutrients vary within the body, thus necessitating a thorough examination of each nutrient separately. Obtaining a bodily fluid or tissue sample such as blood, saliva, or urine is insufficient for determining what nutrients are present. Take calcium, for instance, which is kept within a very narrow range in the blood. Testing calcium levels in the blood may appear favorable, but it may not reflect reality. Therefore, we typically rely on a dietary assessment tool like MyFitnessPal to determine calcium intake. Similarly, iodine can be examined via a twenty-four-hour urine test to assess recent iodine consumption, but it is not indicative of long-term levels. To accurately assess all nutrients, you have to run different tests. Why does today's food have fewer nutrients? Soil quality degradation is a major factor impacting nutrient availability due to the disruption of the soil microbiome, which aids plants in extracting nutrition from the soil. Pesticides, herbicides, and industrial agricultural practices have restricted a plant's ability to obtain nutrients. Chris notes that consuming eight oranges today is equivalent to consuming just one orange for our grandparents in terms of nutritional value. Additionally, the globalization of the food system is also a contributor, as produce is often transported long distances and stored in unfavorable conditions, resulting in significant nutrient loss over time. Unpacking RDAs Recommended Dietary Allowances, or RDAs, are the levels of intake of essential nutrients that meet the known nutrient needs of a healthy person. RDAs were developed during World War II to create nutritious rations for soldiers. They have been updated over time, but the numbers still represent the minimum amount of a nutrient a person needs to avoid a malnutrition-triggered disease. However, RDAs don't take into account several factors that play a huge role in nutrient absorption and status, like gender, age, and health. Another issue with RDAs is that they don't consider bioavailability. When you see the amount of a nutrient listed on a food label, you might assume that you will absorb a hundred percent of that amount, but you would be dramatically wrong. RDAs also don't consider nutrient synergy. There are many cases where the presence of one nutrient helps with the absorption of another one. Magnesium is required for the bio utilization of vitamin D and vice versa. If you are getting enough vitamin D through sun exposure or supplements, but you are magnesium deficient, you will still have low biological activity of vitamin D. Also, check out Chris' recommended lab testing: intracellular magnesium test, iodine test, and blood, urine, and saliva tests for nutritional deficiencies.

Chris Kresser joins the show to talk about the hidden epidemic of nutrient deficiency, and what you need to do to keep your nutrient levels healthy. We talk about the foods that are the most nutrient dense, what you need to supplement with for optimal health, and the most common nutrient deficiencies. Chris also discusses the problems with RDA's, the many things in our environment working against absorption of nutrients, and the most bioavailable foods you need to be eating. So many great tips on how to level up your nutrients game, so make sure to tune in!   On today's podcast, you will learn: The hidden epidemic of nutrient deficiency. Why getting micronutrients in our diet is essential. The most common nutrients people are deficient in. Why so many people have nutrient deficiencies. The reason you can't trust RDAs. The most nutrient rich foods you can eat. Nutrient deficiencies in people following various diets. How to get more nutrient rich organ meats in your diet. The nutrient supplements people need to be careful taking. Is fiber important in our diet?

Animal protein, according to Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, is the key to preventing disease and promoting longevity. Plant protein can be one's alternative choice but it may be missing the mark for you in terms of total wellness potential. And what about body composition, chronic disease and illness? The common conception is that obesity is the root cause of most diseases. The reality is we don't have a body fat problem, we're just under-muscled… That's the concept that drives the work of this week's guest.  Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, DO is a physician who founded the concept and the Institute of Muscle Centric Medicine®.  In this discussion, Chase and Dr. Gabrielle Lyon have a transparent conversation about the history of food and nutritional science, the power of Muscle Centric Medicine®, and the non-negotiable science behind controversial health topics, including protein and RDAs. This is an info-packed episode that will either leave you speechless or running to share the news with your loved ones!   Follow Dr. Gabrielle Lyon @drgabriellelyon Follow Chase on Instagram @chase_chewning Follow him on Twitter @chasechewning   Key Highlights Dr. Gabrielle Lyon defines Muscle Centric Medicine® as the concept that muscle is the organ of longevity that determines everything about how we age.  “If we are muscle centric, we can change the trajectory of how we age,” Dr. Gabrielle says.  The primary drivers of disease are insulin resistance and skeletal muscle. Listen in as Dr. Gabrielle breaks down the definition of insulin resistance and explains the role of glucose, blood sugar, and skeletal muscle in maintaining health and longevity.  Humans' relationship with and understanding of food is rooted in religion and emotion, not just science. Many things have influenced what we eat and the way we eat it. Dr. Gabrielle details the history of food and nutritional science over the last 100+ years and what that means for us today. She shares the hard science you need to know behind controversial topics in nutrition including protein and the quality of protein, recommended dietary allowances (RDAs), and longevity. Should I go plant-based? What's the difference between animal protein and plant protein? How many grams of protein should I be eating in a meal/day? What supplements should I take as a vegetarian/vegan? Tune in to hear Dr. Gabrielle's science-backed answers!
