High Finance: Deciphering Cannabis Economics with Guillermo Rodriguez, the Virtual CFOWhen the pandemic struck, it presented an opportunity for Guillermo to reassess his priorities. Like many others, he saw it as a blank slate to reflect on what truly mattered. As events unfolded, he felt compelled to adopt a more preventative approach to health, well-being, and his response to the pandemic. However, he found himself constrained by corporate and government restrictions and mandates.During this transformative phase, a significant connection was made with the cannabis industry. Guillermo was drawn to an industry that empowers people to embrace their own freedom in choosing unconventional medicine. This newfound passion led him to make the decision to become an activeparticipant in this industry, as he recognized the potential for positive impact and the opportunity to be part of a movement promoting individual autonomy and well-being. Using his accounting and financial background, Guillermo advocates for the cannabis industry as a Virtual CFO, helping guide cannabis operators down the path of profitability through dynamic forecasting, understanding KPIs, and profit-focused accounting.https://www.linkedin.com/in/guillermo-rodriguez-cpa/https://anderscpa.com/virtual-cfo-cannabis/

“Conventional medicine doesn't stand a chance of turning the tide against chronic disease”. When Chris Kresser got sick on a surfing trip to Indonesia he never expected it to catapult him into becoming a leader in the Functional Medicine space but after a decade-long struggle with what became a chronic illness, he learned first hand where health care succeeded—and where it came up short.  After seeking the help of more than 30 healthcare practitioners and, ultimately, having to learn and implement behavioral change on his own with limited support, Chris emerged with his health—and a vision and drive for changing and improving the practice and education of his field. A renowned expert, leading clinician, and top educator in the fields of Functional Medicine and Ancestral Health, Chris has treated thousands of patients with chronic health challenges over the last 15 years. Author of the New York Times-bestselling book “The Paleo Cure”; his latest book is Unconventional Medicine. In this week‘s episode, he shares candidly his own story and experience and how that served as the crucible for the evolution of his approach, from a dedicated root-cause Functional Medicine practitioner to an explorer of what it means to thrive and flourish in the modern world.  Over time, he developed his Adapt Framework, a collaborative model of care, to offer you what he calls “counterpoints” to help you navigate or avoid these pitfalls.  Learn how to identify and work with limiting beliefs and ideas, like “health is simply the absence of symptoms or disease” or “that we, as individuals, are in full control of our health and well-being” or that “the ONLY way to improve health is to address the root-cause” Here are some things you'll discover in this episode: Why you would benefit from a more inclusive and holistic definition of health (the ability to live your dreams).The role of what Chris calls “radical self-care” in a world where it's increasingly difficult to find time for oneself.How to zoom out and look at health as a process we engage in, rather than an outcome.How to understand the ecosystem of health and disease. Turns out our illness, pain, and challenges aren't purely individual.and more… Connect with Chris Kresser here: Website: https://chriskresser.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chriskresserlac Instagram:: https://www.instagram.com/chriskresser/ Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/company/chris-kresser-l.ac/ Podcast: https://chriskresser.com/category/podcast/ Quick note, I just want to say thank you for listening to this episode.

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.

There are a lot of options out there when it comes to medical care. This book takes a look at functional medicine outside of the “traditional” medical model. The book outlines what functional medicine is and how the approach is comprehensive in looking at the patient and not just one symptom or system. We discuss how functional medicine might benefit you and how you can use it to compliment any medical care you are currently getting. Interesting read and a unique way to look at health.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, InsideTracker, and Cozy Earth.If you've ever wondered if supplements are worthwhile or just create expensive urine, this is the podcast episode for you. While I wish it wasn't the case, I do believe we need supplements to make up for the nutrients we can no longer get through food alone. It's extra important to note, though, that not all supplements are created equal. And please keep in mind they're called “supplements” for a reason, not “replacements”—they are meant to supplement a healthy diet and lifestyle to provide the most impact.Today, I'm excited to take a deeper dive into this topic with one of my most trusted sources when it comes to nutrition and dietary research, Chris Kresser.

“Conventional medicine doesn't stand a chance of turning the tide against chronic disease”. When Chris Kresser got sick on a surfing trip to Indonesia he never expected it to catapult him into becoming a leader in the Functional Medicine space but after a decade-long struggle with what became a chronic illness, he learned first hand where health care succeeded—and where it came up short.  After seeking the help of more than 30 healthcare practitioners and, ultimately, having to learn and implement behavioral change on his own with limited support, Chris emerged with his health—and a vision and drive for changing and improving the practice and education of his field. A renowned expert, leading clinician, and top educator in the fields of Functional Medicine and Ancestral Health, Chris has treated thousands of patients with chronic health challenges over the last 15 years. Author of the New York Times-bestselling book “The Paleo Cure”; his latest book is Unconventional Medicine. In this week‘s episode, he shares candidly his own story and experience and how that served as the crucible for the evolution of his approach, from a dedicated root-cause Functional Medicine practitioner to an explorer of what it means to thrive and flourish in the modern world.  Over time, he developed his Adapt Framework, a collaborative model of care, to offer you what he calls “counterpoints” to help you navigate or avoid these pitfalls.  Learn how to identify and work with limiting beliefs and ideas, like “health is simply the absence of symptoms or disease” or “that we, as individuals, are in full control of our health and well-being” or that “the ONLY way to improve health is to address the root-cause” Here are some things you'll discover in this episode: - Why you would benefit from a more inclusive and holistic definition of health (the ability to live your dreams).-The role of what Chris calls “radical self-care” in a world where it's increasingly difficult to find time for oneself.How to zoom out and look at health as a process we engage in, rather than an outcome.How to understand the ecosystem of health and disease. Turns out our illness, pain, and challenges aren't purely individual. and more… Connect with Chris Kresser here: Website: https://chriskresser.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chriskresserlac Instagram:: https://www.instagram.com/chriskresser/ Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/company/chris-kresser-l.ac/ Podcast: https://chriskresser.com/category/podcast/ Quick note, I just want to say thank you for listening to this episode.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Athletic Greens. There's no doubt that factory farming should be illegal, but that is a far cry from stating that all meat is bad. Grass-fed beef is extremely different from conventionally raised beef. In other words, the way your meat is raised matters. In today's episode, I talk with Chris Kresser, Robb Wolf, Diana Rodgers, and Nicolette Niman about the myths and stigmas surrounding red-meat consumption, how to choose sustainably raised meat, and much more.

Today I talk to the CEO and founder of Advanced Integrated Medicine and Surgery (AIMS), Asher Milgrom. There are many remedies for ailments out there that have a much more natural approach and Dr. Milgrom states that the 2nd leading cause of death in the US comes from medical treatments. These deaths otherwise could have been avoided if people never got the treatment in the first place. He explains why non-conventional medicine is seen as taboo and held back from being recommended by the grand majority of doctors. There are countless ailments and illnesses out there that could be prevented if the modern medical world would be willing to talk about it. Unfortunately most people aren’t educated about these things and just do what their doctor is telling them to do, which is the thing that will make their doctor the most money. Asher intro 4:48 Before Conventional Medicine and why it’s held back 19:13Does Western culture teach that we can’t survive without modern medicine? 30:48The regulatory environment keeps alternative medicine from moving forward 40:59 “So rather than doing invasive procedures can you work with the body to augment and support its natural regenerative and healing capacity. Our bodies are engineered to heal and we’re not focused on that oftentimes. Oftentimes Western medicine is simply focused on managing the disease rather than actually curing and healing it.” 29:11https://www.linkedin.com/in/asher-milgrom-3047a726/https://www.amaskincare.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why Health Coaches Are Behavior Change Ninjas | This episode is brought to you by SwanwickMost health plans, whether they’re about losing weight, exercising more, or quitting bad habits, aren’t designed to last. This is because they’re based on an incorrect assumption that all you need is willpower and motivation. In truth, we all need a support system to help guide us toward sustainable behavior and lifestyle change. And the reality is that the majority of healthcare actually happens outside of the doctor’s office.In this mini-episode, Dr. Hyman speaks with Dr. Rangan Chatterjee and Chris Kresser about why behavior change recommendations from healthcare providers are largely ineffective, and why having the support of a health coach can make all the difference in achieving your health goals.Dr. Rangan Chatterjee is regarded as one of the most influential medical doctors in the UK and hosts the most listened to health podcast in the UK and Europe, ‘Feel Better, Live More’. His first three books have all been #1 Sunday Times Bestsellers and his latest, Feel Better in 5, shows people how to transform their health in just 5 minutes. It has been a smash hit in the UK, selling almost 100,000 copies in just 7 months, and has just been published in the United States. Professor BJ Fogg, the world’s leading expert in human behavior, calls this book, "one of the best habit change programs he has seen—deceptively simple but remarkably effective.” Dr. Chatterjee regularly appears on BBC News and Television and has been featured in numerous international publications including The New York Times, Forbes, The Guardian and Vogue, and his TED talk, How To Make Disease Disappear, has been viewed almost 3 million times.Chris Kresser M.S., L.Ac is the co-director of the California Center for Functional Medicine, founder of Kresser Institute, and the New York Times bestselling author of The Paleo Cure and Unconventional Medicine. He is one of the most respected clinicians and educators in the fields of Functional Medicine and ancestral health and has trained over 1,500 clinicians and health coaches in his unique approach.

Reversing Metabolic Disease | This episode is brought to you by PaleovalleyOnly 1 in 8 Americans are considered metabolically healthy (think obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension). Our poor metabolic health is driving our chronic disease epidemic and putting people at higher risk of experiencing severe complications from COVID-19, if they are to get the virus. The good news is that it is possible to become metabolically healthy in a matter of months, if not weeks.In recent conversations with Dr. Aseem Malhotra and Chris Kresser, Dr. Hyman discusses the drivers of poor metabolic health and how, with the right support, making changes to your diet and lifestyle can rapidly optimize your health.Dr. Aseem Malhotra is a founding member of Action on Sugar and was the lead campaigner highlighting the harm caused by excess sugar consumption in the United Kingdom, particularly its role in type 2 diabetes and obesity. In 2015, he coordinated the Choosing Wisely campaign by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges as lead author in a BMJ paper to highlight the risks of overuse of medical treatments. In the same year, he became the youngest member to be appointed to the board of trustees of UK health think tank, The King's Fund, that advises government on health policy. His first book, co-authored with Donal O' Neill, The Pioppi Diet, has become an international bestseller.Chris Kresser M.S., L.Ac is the co-director of the California Center for Functional Medicine, founder of Kresser Institute, and the New York Times bestselling author of The Paleo Cure and Unconventional Medicine.

Most Americans today understand the state of our health is in trouble.  According to recent statistics, a whopping HALF of Americans (and 27% of kids) have a chronic disease and this will be the first generation of kids to live lives shorter than their parents.  And while our quality of life is clearly suffering, the other scary part is chronic disease will generate $47 trillion in healthcare by 2030 if the epidemic remains unchecked.  Which means, we won’t feel well AND our country will be overwhelmed by health care costs.  Clearly, we need a new direction. Thankfully, New York Times best-selling author (and one of the most influential people in health), Chris Kresser, has created a revolutionary approach that focuses on cultivating health rather than simply managing disease.  Tune in today for all the juicy details, and don’t forget to share this important information with anyone who can benefit!

However, this becomes harder when misdiagnosis enters the scene, and time, money, and resources have been wasted. Today, in the first episode of the Healthy Brain Podcast, Carrie Miller gets down to the essentials about how you can find the right choices... The post 001 Why You Seek Unconventional Medicine to Battle Dementia appeared first on My Texas Table Blog.

We’re always hearing extreme results from nutritional research. Ranging from the “dangers” of coconut oil and eggs to completely contradictory statements, like that a low-carb diet shortens lifespan and also increases it, we are bombarded with confusing information that can make deciding what to eat totally overwhelming. But with the right knowledge and resources, we can learn to decipher dietary studies to get the real truth. In this mini-episode, Dr. Hyman sits down with Chris Kresser, an expert in Functional Medicine and a leader in nutritional research, to dissect what you need to evaluate to understand nutrition research.Chris Kresser M.S., L.Ac is the co-director of the California Center for Functional Medicine, founder of Kresser Institute, creator of ChrisKresser.com, and the New York Times bestselling author of The Paleo Cure and Unconventional Medicine.

We are suffering from the worst chronic disease problem the world has ever seen, and traditional medicine is not set up to address the issue. In fact, a full 50% of Americans are dealing with at least one chronic disease right now, and by 2030, healthcare spending to treat chronic disease is projected to hit a mind-bending $47 trillion. Chris Kresser is on a mission to address chronic disease by way of a collaborative practice model that affords patients a healthcare team consisting of a general practitioner as well as a health coach, personal trainer, counselor, etc.—all working together to prevent chronic disease before it starts. Chris is a global authority in the realm of ancestral health, Paleo nutrition and functional medicine. His website is among the top 25 natural health sites in the world, and he was recently named one of the 100 most influential people in health and fitness by Greatlist. Chris is also the founder of the Kresser Institute, a functional medicine training platform that offers practitioners the best tools for preventing and reversing modern chronic illness. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Paleo Cure, and his new book, Unconventional Medicine, presents a three-step plan to reinvent healthcare and reverse chronic disease. Today, Chris shares the collaborative practice model and offers insight around how the healthcare paradigm is already shifting. He explains how to identify a qualified health coach, who else might be involved in a healthcare team, and how the Kresser Institute is promoting the collaborative model.

Having a coach or community to support your health journey can be instrumental in creating and sustaining lifestyle and behavioral change. In this mini-episode, Dr. Hyman talks with Functional Medicine practitioner, Chris Kresser, about the challenges involved in altering behaviors that affect your health, and how external support can be the key to making lasting change. He also talks with Dr. Sean Lucan about the power of shared medical visits in overall health outcomes.Chris Kresser M.S., L.Ac is the co-director of the California Center for Functional Medicine, founder of Kresser Institute, creator of ChrisKresser.com, and the New York Times bestselling author of The Paleo Cure and Unconventional Medicine.

When it comes to looking at studies on nutrition, we need to ask the right questions. What type of study is it? Who funded it? What kinds of variables were and weren’t accounted for? And so much more. There is a lot of information out there to sort through in order to truly understand what the science says about diet and health. One of the most important things to remember, that is often taken out of context in the nutritional studies shared by the media, is that correlation does not equal causation. Part of being a Functional Medicine doctor is staying up to date with the latest research from sources I know and trust, and there’s no one better to break down the science than today’s guest on The Doctor’s Farmacy, Chris Kresser. Chris Kresser M.S., L.Ac is the co-director of the California Center for Functional Medicine, founder of Kresser Institute, creator of ChrisKresser.com, and the New York Times bestselling author of The Paleo Cure and Unconventional Medicine. He is one of the most respected clinicians and educators in the fields of Functional Medicine and ancestral health and has trained over 1,500 clinicians and health coaches in his unique approach. Chris and I dive right into this episode, discussing good versus bad research and what to keep in mind when reading the latest news.

 When it comes to being your own health advocate, we must look at doing so both in our patient/practitioner relationships as well as in our own day to day practices for maintaining good health overall.

In this episode of The Dr. Hedberg Show, I interview Chris Kresser about his new book "Unconventional Medicine" as well as "The Paleo Cure."  We discussed many topics including how to reform our healthcare system, functional medicine, gut health, SIBO, social isolation, diet, psychoneuroimmunolgy, social media, ancestral diets, and eating seasonally.  I think you'll find many excellent takeaways from this interview whether you're a healthcare practitioner or someone interested in health. Dr. Hedberg: Well, welcome, everyone, to the "Dr. Hedberg Show." This is Dr. Hedberg, and I'm really excited today to have Chris Kresser on the show, been following his work for a long time. And Chris is the CEO of the Kresser Institute, he is a licensed acupuncturist and he's also the co-director of the California Center for Functional Medicine. And chriskresser.com most of you who do any kind of reading on the internet have most assuredly come across Chris's website for some excellent health information there. And he recently published a book called "Unconventional Medicine" as well as "The Paleo Cure" and this was a New York Times best-selling book. And Chris was also named one of the 100 Most Influential people in Health and Fitness by greatist.com. So Chris, welcome to the show.   Dr. Kresser: Thanks, Nick. It's a pleasure to be here. Dr. Hedberg: Great. So why don't we jump in and just talk a little bit about conventional health care because obviously there are some big issues there with conventional medicine. And so what are the areas that you see in conventional medicine that really need to really be changed and really worked on to get people in this country you know, much healthier. Dr. Kresser: Yeah, I think the biggest issue with our current system is that it's not set up to address chronic disease. It was...the conventional medical system really came out of a time and a place where acute challenges were the biggest issues that we face. So if you look at the turn of the 20th century top three causes of death were all acute infectious diseases: typhoid, pneumonia, and tuberculosis. And you know, conventional medicine today is remarkably effective for those kinds of problems. If you...I always say if I get hit by a bus, I definitely wanna be taken to the hospital. You know, we have pretty amazing medical technologies and interventions that allow us to even reattach severed limbs. You know, we're starting to maybe be able to restore sight to the blind. And you know, if I get an infection, I'm grateful that I can, if necessary, take antibiotics that might save my life. So there have been some incredible developments in conventional medicine that have extended our lifespan and, you know, basically eliminated certain causes of death that were the scourge of humanity for many years. Unfortunately, that's not the biggest problem today. Today we are suffering from an epidemic of chronic disease, in fact, seven of 10 deaths are caused by chronic diseases. Things like cardiovascular disease and lung disease and cancer and now Alzheimer's and dementia at a growing rate. And our conventional medical system was really never set out to deal with those conditions because they weren't as big of an issue at the time when the medical system developed. So now we have this huge burden of chronic disease and the conventional health care system really, its main approach is to prescribe medication. And these medications though they might be somewhat helpful in addressing the symptoms of these diseases, they almost never address the underlying causes of chronic disease. And that's why we see the rates of these conditions just continue to rise each year. Dr. Hedberg: Yeah, we had a major overhaul to our health care system, but it was just sort of a different way to pay for the same model. Dr. Kresser: Exactly. Dr. Hedberg: So that aspect is disturbing, you know, we can find a lot of different ways to pay for h...

We are suffering from the worst chronic disease problem the world has ever seen, and traditional medicine is not set up to address the issue. In fact, a full 50% of Americans are dealing with at least one chronic disease right now, and by 2030, healthcare spending to treat chronic disease is projected to hit a mind-bending $47 trillion. Chris Kresser is on a mission to address chronic disease by way of a collaborative practice model that affords patients a healthcare team consisting of a general practitioner as well as a health coach, personal trainer, counselor, etc.—all working together to prevent chronic disease before it starts. Chris is a global authority in the realm of ancestral health, Paleo nutrition and functional medicine. His website is among the top 25 natural health sites in the world, and he was recently named one of the 100 most influential people in health and fitness by Greatlist. Chris is also the founder of the Kresser Institute, a functional medicine training platform that offers practitioners the best tools for preventing and reversing modern chronic illness. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Paleo Cure, and his new book, Unconventional Medicine, presents a three-step plan to reinvent healthcare and reverse chronic disease. Today, Chris shares the collaborative practice model and offers insight around how the healthcare paradigm is already shifting. He explains how to identify a qualified health coach, who else might be involved in a healthcare team, and how the Kresser Institute is promoting the collaborative model.

Available On: iTunes  | Google Play  | Stitcher  | Spotify Jimmy Rosenberg was looking for a way to make some dough in the summer of 1983. He got this idea…sell juice on the beach. So he got some fruit, blended it in his kitchen, and started selling the juice by the cup (poured from a jug) on the beach in Santa Monica. Little did he know that inauspicious start would lead to the formation of two mega juice companies – Naked Juice and Evolution Fresh. His first attempt, a pretty impressive first attempt by the way, was a company called The Naked Juice Company. After growing it to a size that allowed him to serve most of California, he sold it and got out of the juice business entirely. But not for long. Two years later, with a renewed commitment to delivering the highest quality juice possible to consumers, he started Evolution Fresh. He steered this company for 19 years before being acquired by Starbucks in 2011.  Before I sat down with Jimmy, I didn’t tell him that I’d be asking him for photos and a bio, or that I’d be posting his story about this podcast on social media. He’s a very private person. He’s never been on social media and has never shared these incredible stories about the two companies he’s championed. Fortunately for us all, and in spite of this, he agreed to proceed. I’m incredibly grateful for his willingness to share his story, and trust me, you will be too! From Andy: Before I sat down with Jimmy, I didn’t tell him that I’d be asking him for photos and a bio, or that I’d be posting his story about this podcast on social media. He’s a very private person. He’s never been on social media and has never shared these incredible stories about the two companies he’s championed. Fortunately for us all, and in spite of this, he agreed to proceed. I’m incredibly grateful for his willingness to share his story, and trust me, you will be too! The thing I relate to most about Jimmy – he’s just an ordinary guy like you and me. But for some reason, he was willing to listen, to experiment, to put in the hard work, to be open to learning on the job, and to be steadfast in his commitment to never sacrifice the quality of his product. These have all be part of his journey, all part of the reason he’s been so successful, twice! Listen. Love. Learn. This story has it all. Enjoy!

Available On: iTunes  | Google Play  | Stitcher  | Spotify How do you describe Ronnie Teasdale? Figuring out how to capture him in conversation and in writing, that’s the problem I ran into after spending a few hours with him recording the podcast. Ronnie grew up in Michigan playing hockey practically every day of his life until he was 23 years old. At the height of his hockey “career,” he was what I’d call an “enforcer” — the guy you’d put in to take out (by brute force) whatever player on the other team was scoring goals or causing problems. Sports, to him, were a zero-sum game. Someone wins, someone loses — and doing anything necessary to win was just part of the game. When he moved west to California, he did so to pursue a more holistic calling. With degrees in psychology and exercise science from Oakland University, Ronnie opened a gym, started studying yoga, and left his hockey and win at all costs mindset behind. Then he discovered CrossFit, the sport of fitness. Since he already knew how to win, this was a way to combine his prior-life mindset with his newfound passion for fitness. He opened a new gym called CrossFit Mean Streets, and became known in the world of CrossFit as a fierce competitor, bad boy, and also a super-fit human.  But there was a side to Ronnie that no one really knew — a side that he talks about a lot in our conversation. His quest has always been to optimize human performance, and he has been able to achieve that since leaving hockey with quite unorthodox methods involving recovery, rejuvenation, and optimization rather than super hard or aggressive training. Ronnie now is finishing up his Kundalini Yoga teacher training, has just changed his name to his new spiritual name, Ravi Chander, and spends much of his time reading, studying, and developing expertise and personal experience in what he calls “humanology.” This is the longest podcast I’ve ever recorded, and it’s a conversation I enjoyed thoroughly. We get into “weird” stuff right out of the gate, though Ronnie is about as un-weird as it gets. It opened my eyes to many new intriguing concepts such as optimizing performance without training, as well sound healing and sunlight. Enjoy!

When Chris Kresser, M.S., L.Ac, was in his early twenties, he traveled the world surfing and learning to meditate. Along the way, he fell ill — and when he returned to the States he discovered that the conventional medical paradigm had little to offer when it came to treating complex, chronic illness. So he embarked on his own healing journey, studying acupuncture and Chinese medicine and learning about ancestral health. Today he is a globally recognized leader in the fields of functional and integrative medicine. In this podcast, he talks with Dr. Fitzgerald about being one of the first holistic practitioners to establish a solid online presence; why blogging and writing about functional, ancestral, and integrative approaches to health matter today more than ever; and how the current medical paradigm needs to be reinvented both to prevent and reverse chronic disease and to prevent the collapse of the entire healthcare system. His new book Unconventional Medicine is available now.

Chris Kresser Shares Importance of Health Coaching During Interview with Jesse Cannone: Using a health coach takes a more proactive, preventative, and affordable approach to improving your health and wellness than learning alone. As Chris Kresser explains during his recent interview with Jesse Cannone, “Information is not enough to change behavior.” Most people know what they should be doing, Chris explains. They know they should get seven to eight hours of sleep per night, eat healthy, remain physically active, quit smoking, etc. Yet the latest CDC statistics show only 6% of U.S. adults engage in all five key healthy habits. Successful health coaches help their clients tap into their own motivations for change and develop their own strategies for change. When health coaches train people to take responsibility for their own lives in this way, they become empowered to make successful health behavior changes more likely to last over the long term. Jesse adds that his own experience as a health coach taught him that we all have unique behavior patterns. Knowing these subtle yet significant differences can improve our personal approach to better health. “The real key to successful change, and coaching,” Jesse says, “is being aware of that and having tools to identify the differences from Person A to Person B and then altering your approach.” A health coach who understands these differences and uses tools like the Myers-Briggs Personality Test or another personality profile quiz can help them tailor their interactions and recommendations for a greater chance of success. Chris agrees, saying, “That’s yet another reason to focus more on supporting a client in developing their own strategies for change, because that then guarantees that whatever strategies the client comes up with are most likely to work... because ultimately, they are the experts in their own life.” About Chris Kresser, M.S., L.Ac.: Chris is the CEO of Kresser Institute and the co-director of the California Center for Functional Medicine. He’s also the creator of ChrisKresser.com and is the New York Times best-selling 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 his blog is one of the top-ranked natural health websites in the world. About Jesse Cannone: Jesse is the co-founder and visionary CEO of The Healthy Back Institute®, the world-leading source of natural back pain solutions. Recognized worldwide as an expert on back pain, health and fitness, Jesse’s Live Pain Free® print publication along with his free Less Pain, More Life email newsletter are read by a combined 400,000 readers looking for natural solutions for pain and improved health every month. Over the past decade, Jesse has introduced millions of people in over 100 countries around the world to a better way of living pain free through improvements in mind, body and diet. His desire to help even more led him to write and publicly offer 1 MILLION free copies of his groundbreaking book, The 7-Day Back Pain Cure. A loving father of eight, Jesse understands the importance of balance in life. When he’s not hunting down new products and ways to eliminate pain, improve fitness and excel in every area of life from business to personal relationships, you’ll likely find Jesse mountain biking, practicing Muay Thai or out looking for adventure and wisdom near his home in Austin, TX.

Modern industrial medicine treats disease with medication or surgery. That’s what it is designed to do, and when it comes to emergency interventions it is still the best medicine in the world. When someone comes into the emergency room with a severed leg, conventional medicine treats the problem with incredible efficacy. But when it comes to chronic illness, this approach simply doesn’t work. Here’s why conventional medicine tends to break down in the face of chronic illnesses like diabesity … Most medicine today is based on clear-cut, on-or-off, yes-or-no diagnoses that often miss the underlying causes and more subtle manifestations of illness. Most conventional doctors are taught that you have a disease or you don’t; you have diabetes or you don’t. There are no gray areas. Instead, I suggest taking a radically new and unconventional approach to treating chronic illness. Some might call this approach Functional Medicine. Functional Medicine is the future of conventional medicine–but available now. It seeks to identify and address the root causes of disease, and views the body as one integrated system, not a collection of independent organs divided up by medical specialties. It treats the whole system, not just the symptoms. In his new book, Unconventional Medicine, my friend Chris Kresser, M.S., L.Ac, discusses the challenges with conventional medicine, and why the future of medicine is unconventional. In this interview, Chris and I talk about what it takes to get to the root cause of dis-ease. I hope you enjoy it. Wishing you health and happiness, Mark Hyman, MD

He is the creator of ChrisKresser.com, one of the top 25 natural health sites in the world, and the author of the New York Times best seller, Your Personal Paleo Code (published in paperback in December 2014 as The Paleo Cure). Chris was recently named by Greatist.com as one of the 100 most influential people in health and fitness, along with Michelle Obama, Michael Pollan, Dr. Andrew Weil, Tim Ferriss, Mark Sisson, Robb Wolf and Dr. Mercola—and his work is frequently cited in national publications such as Time, The Atlantic, and NPR, and on Dr. Oz and Fox & Friends, where he has appeared as a guest. Chris has been studying, practicing, and teaching alternative medicine for more than fifteen years. He did his undergraduate work at UC Berkeley, and studied Chinese and integrative medicine at the Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine College, also in Berkeley. He has trained with world-renowned healers and educators in a variety of disciplines throughout the U.S., Thailand, and Indonesia. Chris’s work is informed by his own experience recovering from a chronic, complex illness which began while he was traveling in Southeast Asia in his early 20s. After seeing more than twenty doctors around the world and spending thousands of dollars in an effort to diagnose and treat his condition, Chris decided to take his health into his own hands. Through extensive study and research, continual self-experimentation, and formal training in integrative medicine, he recovered from this debilitating illness and went on to share what he learned with others through his popular blog, podcast, and private practice. Chris teaches and practices functional medicine, a personalized approach to health care that recognizes the biological uniqueness of each patient. In contrast to conventional care, which is almost entirely focused on suppressing symptoms, functional medicine eliminates symptoms by addressing the underlying cause of a problem. It is an evidence-based field of health care that views the body as an interconnected whole, and recognizes the importance of these connections in health and disease.

Chris' new book, Unconventional Medicine. The world is facing the greatest healthcare crisis it has ever seen. Chronic disease is shortening our lifespan, destroying our quality of life, bankrupting governments, and threatening the health of future generations. Sadly, conventional medicine, with its focus on managing symptoms, has failed to address this challenge. The result is burned-out physicians, a sicker population, and a broken healthcare system. Chris Kresser, as detailed in his new book Unconventional Medicine, presents a plan to reverse this dangerous trend. He shows how the combination of a genetically aligned, ancestral diet and lifestyle, Functional Medicine, and a lean, collaborative practice model can create a system that better serves the needs of both patients and practitioners. The epidemic of chronic illness can be stopped, if patients and practitioners can adapt.

The Paleo View (TPV), Episode 271: Chris Kresser Practices Unconventional Medicine News and Views (0:41) Our guest today is Chris Kresser! He's a practicing functional medicine doctor, blogger, author and "voice of reason" we really admire. He was a guest on Episode 86 as well. Chris's new book is about changing how we approach healthcare. It's titled Unconventional Medicine and comes out November 7th Stacy discovered Chris Kresser through Robb Wolf's podcast where he challenged Robb Wolf on Fish Oil. It was refreshing to see two thought leaders debating a topic and one change his mind. Chris's old book was called The Paleo Cure. Chris was interested in how he could change health care practices through his own work in his clinic. Conventional medicine doesn't treat chronic disease very well and it could be disastrous for the economy of the United States. Doctors give the recommendation of "eat better, exercise" but don't really give details, follow up, or help you get there. Chris got very sick from parasite infections in his early 20s and while he recovered from the acute infection easily, the chronic remnants of the disease continued until he figured out how to heal himself. Functional medicine is a systems biology approach to medicine. Chris's analogy: If you have a rock in your shoe, conventional medicine diagnoses you with foot pain and gives you a tylenol. Functional medicine tells you to dump out the rock. People are on all kinds of medicine when better approaches might lead to fewer. Instead of suppressing systems, Functional medicine tackles the causes of disease, especially diet and lifestyle factors. Stacy recently had an experience with a regular doctor that made her wonder if patients are part of the problem: they want a pill to fix it rather than working on their diet and lifestyle. Chris's practice follows up and provides resources to help patients do it. One in Two people has chronic disease and one in four have multiple chronic disease. We have to reverse this! Meanwhile, Sarah is very concerned that she wasn't getting enough interventions with conventional medicine. Chris says doctors are upset with modern medicine as well. They're burned out, don't have enough time, and half want to quit! Doctors are being pushed too hard. They see twice as many patients as they did a few decades ago. Chris envisions a system where someone who comes in with pre-diabetes is assigned a nutritionist and a personal trainer and a gym membership rather than pills and no follow up. He sees this as cost effective: $1 million over the course of a lifetime vs. $10000 Chris sees this as a virtuous cycle rather than a vicious cycle. Things actually get better over time. We spend 3.2 trillion dollars per year on healthcare. That's $10000 per person, or 1/3 of the median income. We need to stop accepting chronic illness as normal. It's not normal, its common. As Angelo Coppola says, "Humans are not broken by default." The health insurance model has only been around for 60 years or so and people paid for their own. This kept costs down. Catastrophic Care gives the example of people giving the options of either taking statins covered by insurance or paying on their own to change diet and lifestyle and exercising. These are not equivalent choices and few would not choose the "free" pill option. Rate and review us. Goodbye! Outro (1:01:21) Support us by shopping through links on our sidebars, please!
