Can something actually be “proven safe” for everyone or does that go against what we know to be true about bioindividuality?  In this empowering episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz sits down with Nolan Gleich, NTP, Certified Fertility Awareness Educator, and Digital Marketing Strategist at the Nutritional Therapy Association, to unpack the headlines linking Tylenol (acetaminophen) to autism and explore what true health freedom really means. Together, Jamie and Nolan zoom out from fear-based headlines to the bigger picture: how chronic illness, toxic load, and bioindividuality shape health outcomes, and why foundational, root cause wellness is the future of healthcare rather than quick, Bandaid fixes that only mask the symptoms of deeper, underlying issues. Inside this episode, you'll discover: Why “proven safe” isn't a universal truth—and how bioindividuality challenges one-size-fits-all medicine The role of epigenetics, toxicity, nutrient deficiencies, and gut health in chronic illness and autism risk RFK's recent $50 million autism research initiative and what it could mean for families Practical, foundation-first alternatives for pain and fever support in pregnancy and childhood (hydration, digestion optimization, nutrient-dense foods, rest, immune support) How education empowers us to be confident and trustworthy advocates for our health This conversation isn't about blame—it's about hope, empowerment, and solutions. Wherever your thoughts are regarding the Tylenol and autism topic, this episode will leave you inspired to trust your body's innate wisdom, learn more about the foundations of health, and embrace the freedom that comes with bioindividuality.

You can't buy the feeling of laughing until you cry with someone you haven't seen in decades, or the clarity that comes from meeting your past with your present.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening. How much do we need to worry about body scans and tests?  It seems our bodies are on autopilot until our forties.  Then there comes the recommended screenings and testing.  Our we doomed to our genetics so that we need to start screening to detect the inevitable at the earliest stage possible? What happens when we find an abnormality?  Intuitively, it seems we should put things to rest before they become a problem like getting new tires.  Some people think once you break the imaginary body seal, the problems all come rushing out.   Today I will discuss when to be worried and when to maintain.  Overall, it is better to use your body than keep it on the couch and wonder if it will work when you need it.   Eat clean plant based food and move outside is a much better choice than looking for imperfections that need to be eliminated.  Enjoy the podcast.  Thanks for listening.  Websitehttps://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Email: jami@doctordulaney.com Ebook:https://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/ Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney. discount code: cleanwaterforsophie

We'd love to hear from you about this episode.Few clichés have had as profound an impact on human development as the phrase “You are what you eat.”Our dietary choices have a significant impact on our overall health and wellness, shaping the composition and function of our bodies. The foods we eat supply the nutrients our bodies need to maintain brain, muscle, bone, nerves, skin, blood circulation, and immune system functioning. Proper nutrition also helps protect us from various illnesses and diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and osteoporosis.Nutrition is one of the most popular topics on social media, with programming and experts dominating the market. However, following a healthy eating plan is one of the first things we sacrifice when life feels busy or overwhelming. With so many challenges, where do we turn for the most accurate advice? Welcome to Episode Seventy-One of the Nature of Wellness ™️ Podcast!!! In this episode, we spoke with registered dietitian and health designer Beth Machnica. A leader in designing spaces and systems to maximize human health, Beth is the Director of Health and Well-Being at the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, where she created and oversees a portfolio of Food as Medicine programs.Join us as we talk to Beth about her relationship with nature, the role and function of a registered dietician, the meaning of “food as medicine,”  and the role proper nutrition plays in both lifespan and health span. Beth discusses the barriers to proper nutrition, the health inequities and disparities associated with food insecurity, the importance of nutrition and lifestyle changes for women's health, and practical tips for anyone wanting to begin eating healthier.This was a conversation we could really sink our teeth into.Please subscribe, rate, and leave a review anywhere you listen to this podcast. We appreciate you all.Be Well-NOW ™️ BNMC website: https://bnmc.org/Beth's website: https://linktr.ee/bethmachnica?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=98989085-1575-4c83-8408-8770c75642d5Beth's email: emachnica@bnmc.orgWork with Beth at this link, insurance accepted:https://www.flourishnutrition.io/providers/beth-machnicaAgenda to the 5th Annual Food as Medicine Symposium:https://bnmc.org/health-and-wellbeing/health-and-wellbeing-food-as-medicine-2025/Get tickets for the hybrid (virtual + in-person) Symposium:https://theticketing.co/e/famsymposium2025* The unbelievable Shawn Bell produces the Nature of Wellness Podcast, making us sound good.** The NOW theme song was penned, performed, produced, and provided by the dynamic duo of Phil and Niall Monahan. *** This show wouldn't exist without our amazing guests and all of you who listen.

What happens when we face the hard reality of childhood obesity with solutions-focused honesty, grace, and hope? In this episode, Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast host, Jamie Belz, jumps into the passenger seat and releases the reins as a guest on The Liberty Wellness Podcast, hosted by Rebecca Stewart.  Rebecca is a National Board-Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), a homeschool mama of two, and the founder of Liberty Wellness & Co.—a virtual practice supporting clients through complex chronic illnesses like Lyme disease, Hashimoto's, and autoimmune conditions. She's also the creator of the Liberty Wellness Homeschool High School Health Curriculum, giving families a solid foundation for health education at home. Her heart for parents, children, and future generations shines through every word. After listening to Episode 35 of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Rebecca invited Jamie to be a guest on her platform for a real conversation to help parents and kids understand: The biology behind childhood obesity - why it's not just “baby fat” and how early patterns set lifelong health trajectories. Parental guilt, shame, and fear—how to forgive ourselves and look forward with positivity as we help heal our families.  The impact of sugar, dopamine hits, screen time, and nutrient-deficient foods on kids' developing bodies. Why bio-individuality matters: every child is unique, and healing isn't one-size-fits-all. Generational cycles of health decline, including the eye-opening research of Dr. Francis Pottenger and the warnings of Dr. Weston A. Price nearly a century ago. How simple, doable changes—nutrient-dense meals, family modeling, stress reduction, and connection—can rewrite the story for our kids and grandkids. The powerful reminder that it's never too late to shift course, heal, and create meaningful change, redemption, and hope for healthier generations. ⁠Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon⁠ ⁠Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast – Episode 35: Childhood Obesity⁠ ⁠Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast – Episode 4: Bio-Individuality⁠ ⁠Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast – Episode 6: Pottenger's Cats⁠ ⁠Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast - Episode 30: Generational Health⁠ From Rebecca: Website: ⁠Liberty Wellness & Co.⁠ Homeschool Health Curriculum: ⁠Liberty Wellness High School Health Course⁠ Instagram + Facebook: ⁠@libertywellnessandco⁠ This episode is raw, informative, and filled with loving laughter.

Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive. Have you ever felt something in your body, like a tightness, a sense of unease, a quiet knowing, and brushed it off?In this solo episode, Blaine explores the powerful (and often ignored) language of the body. We dive into the Ayurvedic concept of Prajnaparadha, which translates to “a crime against wisdom,” the very moment we override what we know to be true in our hearts, guts, and bones.Our bodies are always sending signals, a “yes,” a “no,” a pause, a symptom, a whisper. But we live in a culture that praises productivity over presence, and so often, we stop listening.Through energy testing, meditation, and simple practices of self-awareness, Blaine shows us how to reconnect to this inner intelligence and avoid the chronic imbalances that come when we ignore it.The episode closes with a powerful reminder: your body already knows how to heal, you just have to listen.Tune in wherever you get your podcasts! Episode Resources:Sign up for FREE weekly Newsletter: https://www.energymedicineyoga.net/Listen on Spotify: Energy WorksListen on Apple Podcasts: Energy WorksFollow us on Instagram: @EnergyMedicineYogaFollow us on Facebook: @EnergyMedicineYoga#EnergyMedicineYoga #EnergyWorksPodcast #WellnessPodcast #EnergyMedicine #BodyWisdom #SelfHealing #EnergyHealing #TrustYourBody #Prajnaparadha

Blood sugar impacts everything—your energy, your sleep, your hormones, your brain, your heart, your thyroid, EVERYTHING. Yet most of us only hear about it in the context of diabetes.  In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host, Jamie Belz, and fellow NTP, Ashley Lawrence, open the curtain on the real story behind why blood sugar is often the hidden root behind symptoms like PCOS, anxiety, insomnia, weight struggles, and even long-term risks like cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's. Ashley—known as the “Blood Sugar Bestie”—shares her personal journey of misdiagnosis, failed quick fixes, and finally discovering that blood sugar balance changes everything. Ashley shares: Her hopeful testimonial story and what she did to “lose her PCOS diagnosis.” Why PCOS is more than “just a hormone disorder”—and how insulin resistance drives much of the imbalance. Why some researchers call Alzheimer's “type 3 diabetes,” and what that really means. How early warning signs like skin tags and darkened patches can show up years before a diagnosis. The reality that blood sugar issues can simmer silently for a decade or more before being labeled diabetes. Practical, joy-filled strategies: pairing carbs with protein, food + mood journaling, hydration hacks, and short-term CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) experiments to see what works for your bio-individual body. CLEAN FATS make healthy hormones! (ALL natural fats are healthy - they need to be unadulterated and from clean sources.) This episode isn't about restriction. It's about freedom—learning how simple, everyday choices restore balance, resilience, and joy. Want to go deeper?

We'd love to hear from you about this episode.According to 2025 data released by the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 1 billion people are living with mental health disorders. US survey data collected in March and April 2025 indicate a substantial portion of adults experienced a mental health crisis in the past year, with many facing barriers to accessing help. The US is experiencing a significant shortage of mental health providers, which has led to a reduction in access to care. We must find proactive ways to manage the rising mental and emotional challenges that we consistently face. Creativity and wellness are deeply connected. Engaging in creative activities like art, music, and writing has been shown to reduce stress and lower symptoms of anxiety and depression. Making time for creative outlets as a form of self-care allows for emotional management and expression, stimulates brain function, and promotes a sense of connection to oneself and others. Welcome to Episode Seventy-One of the Nature of Wellness ™️ Podcast!!! In this episode, we spoke with artist, mental health advocate, and keynote speaker Jeffrey Sparr. Diagnosed with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder as a college athlete, he struggled to live a "normal' life. Jeff co-founded PeaceLove Foundation, a nonprofit that promotes mental health through creative expression.Join us as we talk to Jeff about his journey with mental illness, how a friend's suggestion to try painting changed the course of his life, and how his new digital teaming tool, Scribl,  is reshaping human connection through creativity.Jeff discusses the challenges mental illness can impact health and wellness, how creativity can serve as a superpower, and how any creative endeavor has a profound impact on quality of life.This conversation is a work of art (pun intended).Please subscribe, rate, and leave a review anywhere you listen to this podcast. We appreciate you all.Be Well-NOW ™️ Jeffrey's Website: http://www.jeffreysparr.com/ScriblLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/scribl-coInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/scribl.co/PeaceLoveLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/peacelovefoundationInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/peacelovefoundation/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/peacelovestudios* The unbelievable Shawn Bell produces the Nature of Wellness Podcast, making us sound good.** The NOW theme song was penned, performed, produced, and provided by the dynamic duo of Phil and Niall Monahan. *** This show wouldn't exist without our amazing guests and all of you who listen.

We all know how important taking care of a newborn is, but what about taking care of a preborn baby? What about taking care of yourself BEFORE even conceiving?  The BrainStim Gang is discussing a new study that looks at the impact having a healthy diet has on the next generation - REAL generational change! It's an eye-opening discussion - and it's not just for the ladies. Men's nutritional health plays a huge role in this process too. As always, if you have questions, please visit www.invisionchiropractic.com/schedule to speak with Dr. Aplin.

Episode Description: It's been a while since I've done a solo episode, and this felt like the right moment to sit down and share a little life update. A lot has changed for me this year — some of it amazing, some of it challenging, and plenty of it somewhere in between. In this episode, I'm talking about what day-to-day life looks like right now, how I'm finding my footing in a new season, and the little shifts that are making a big difference. Think of this as us catching up over coffee — honest, a little messy at times, and hopefully a reminder that none of us have it all figured out. Key Takeaways: A peek into what life has looked like for me these past few months. The real highs and lows of adjusting to big changes. How I'm keeping routines simple and flexible. What I'm learning about asking for help and letting go of “shoulds.” Some updates about where the podcast is headed next.  …and more! If you're in a season of transition (or just curious about the behind-the-scenes of my life lately), I think you'll feel right at home in this one.

Think You're Alone? Think Again: Faith, Fitness & the Elijah MomentEver feel like you're the only one chasing health, faith, or purpose? Elijah felt that too—until God revealed an entire army of prophets standing strong (1 Kings 19).In this episode of the Word & Wellness Podcast, I share how a simple trip to the library with my daughter shattered my own “I'm the only one” mindset. I met other homeschooling dads—Black dads building strong families and showing up for their kids.Just like Elijah, I discovered you are never as alone as you feel.You'll learn:How God meets you in burnout and whispers hopeWhy community is essential for lasting faith and fitness transformationPractical ways to find your people and stay consistent with spiritual and physical healthIf you're ready to trade isolation for inside-out change, join the Word & Wellness online community—where monthly workouts, devotions, and real support keep you strong in every season.

Parents are asking a fair question: is what's on the school tray really food? In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz and guest Shari Gilford, NTP (Full Table Nutrition) open the lunchbox and get practical about raising healthier kids—at school and at home. The conversation swings from frustrations to solutions. Listeners will hear why many “kids' foods” are hyper-processed, hyper-palatable, and nutrient-void—and how families can pivot to real, brain-fueling meals without perfectionism or overwhelm. Shari Gilford is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner who helps children and families build nutrition habits for lifelong health. Through Full Table Nutrition, she educates and inspires families to enjoy fresh, whole foods and be nourished for life. Diagnosed with hereditary kidney disease at age 11, she understands how poor health can disrupt childhood—and why preventing obesity and type 2 diabetes (a leading cause of kidney disease) matters. Her mission is to help transform the health of an entire generation. In this episode, expect: Clear, compassionate guidance on sugar, dyes, and ultra-processed “food-like products,” including why kids average ~17 teaspoons of added sugar/day, how that relates to focus, mood, and classroom behavior, and why protein-first breakfasts change the school day. Practical lunchbox wins: muffin frittatas; meatball “muffins”; leftover taco meat with crunchy chips; tuna or salmon salad for omega-3 brain power; beef sticks; hard-boiled eggs; colorful produce that packs and keeps. Picky-eater strategies that actually work: involve kids in choosing veggies (beet or grated carrot salads, jicama “dippers”), taste-training away from constant sweetness, and fun “compare & prepare” nights to find favorite veggie textures. Smart swaps & step-downs: the sugar-cube visual (4 g = 1 cube), gradual transitions from sweetened to unsweetened peanut butter and yogurt, and moving from juice to whole fruit. A simple at-home experiment kids love: three days of protein-strong breakfasts vs. one high-sugar morning—then track energy, mood, focus, and “battery level.” Parent empowerment: how to teach kids the “why,” build a two-week rotation of packable meals, and make real food doable on busy school mornings. This conversation is hopeful and hands-on—less about guilt, more about doing the next right thing with real food that steadies minds, builds bodies, and sets kids up to thrive. Resources & Related Episodes: Episode 35: Childhood Obesity Shari's Web Page For Recipe Book Recommendations Shari's Book Recommendation: Getting to Yum: The 7 Secrets of Raising Eager Eaters by Karen Le Billon When looking for quality recipes, I always check to see if they use whole, nutrient-dense, properly prepared foods: quality proteins (grass-fed meats, pastured eggs, wild-caught fish), traditional fats (butter, coconut oil, olive oil, tallow), and a colorful variety of vegetables, with limited natural sweeteners and no refined/processed ingredients. Be sure to cook with saturated fats and add the olive oil later!  NOTE: To date, NTA/Jamie are neither affiliated nor receiving compensation of any kind for this or any other product or service featured on The Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast.

Send us a textEmotional triggers—or as we've come to reframe them, "emotional traps"—are those experiences that send us spiraling into strong reactions that we sometimes regret. We're diving deep into understanding these patterns and how to respond more effectively when they arise.The term "triggered" has become diluted in everyday language. Originally a clinical term associated with PTSD, it's now used casually in ways that sometimes diminish genuine trauma responses. This doesn't mean our emotional reactions aren't valid—they absolutely are—but framing them as "traps" helps distinguish everyday emotional responses while still honoring their significance.What makes these emotional traps particularly challenging is that we often set them ourselves. Maybe you become reactive when important conversations are avoided or when action plans aren't followed through. Perhaps you spiral when situations make you feel that you're "not enough"—that fundamental human fear that drives so much of our behavior. During midlife, particularly through perimenopause, these physical and emotional factors can be amplified, creating what feels like a constant state of emotional volatility.The ultimate goal isn't to eliminate emotional traps entirely—that's not possible as humans. It's to develop awareness of our patterns and prepare thoughtful responses instead of knee-jerk reactions. Join us as we explore this daily work of emotional regulation that builds resilience and ultimately leads to more fulfilling relationships throughout midlife and beyond.Please be sure to checkout our website for previous episodes, our psych-approved resource page, and connect with us on social media!

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  What I have admired this week: Doing Hard Things with Grace and Humility We learn and grow more from doing hard things.  We all want to be healthy but want and desire alone does not get us that outcome.  Would you be willing to get healthier for free if a little effort was required? Have you ever stopped to ask if common practices make any difference at all in our health?  Take a multivitamin? Wear sunglasses? Wear sunscreen? Get a yearly physical?   Have a listen and then go do something hard and don't forget to smile.  Thanks for listening.

You'll often hear host Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC say that the Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) program changed her life. In this fun, personal, and insightful roundtable episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Jamie sits down with three current NTP students to share how the program is already transforming their health, their families, and their futures. Just over three months into their studies with the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA), these students are proving how powerful it is to learn the Foundations of Health—digestion, nutrient-dense diet, blood sugar regulation, sleep, stress, movement, and hydration. No band-aid fixes here—this is about getting to the root cause of health and disease, and honoring the truth of bio-individuality: there is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellness. Discover how nutrition and lifestyle foundations are changing lives in real time: Michlind shares her passion for filling the nutrition gap in youth who have aged out of foster care, parents reuniting with their children, and anti-human-trafficking recovery programs. Katie, a culinary pro living with Crohn's disease, explains how bio-individual nutrition transformed her gut health and daily life. Alyson opens up about her journey from residential eating disorder treatment to vibrant health through nutrient-dense, whole foods and the power of bio-individuality. Together, they open up about: The sleep stages and circadian rhythm hacks that blew their minds. Why digestion truly is the cornerstone of health—and how even chewing changes everything. The myths of the low-fat movement, the truth about fats and gallbladder health, and how diet culture has failed us. Simple, practical wins you can try today—like apple cider vinegar before meals, soaking and sprouting grains, or turning off screens before bed. What it really means to be your own health advocate when mainstream solutions fall flat. This episode is packed with nutrition tips, digestion insights, and inspiring stories of transformation. If you've ever thought, “It's all too much—where do I start?” this conversation will offer a variety of starting points as well as some of the science backing the foundational teachings of the NTA. Tune in, laugh with us, and get inspired by the next generation of Nutritional Therapy Practitioners who are already changing the world with the truth that food really is medicine and while "UNhealth" might be normal, it's certainly not the only way to go.

Welcome! and thank you for listening.
