A 2010 study published in Plos One found that 5 of the 10 most violence-inducing drugs were antidepressants.
Alongside antidepressants, 6 sedatives/hypnotics and 3 medications for attentional issues were also associated with increased violence.
And while pharmaceutical therapies can work for certain individuals, they clearly cause (sometimes scary) side effects, do not work for everyone, and most importantly, do not address the root cause.
Tune in to this week’s fascinating podcast with Dr. Villanueva, Creator of the Healthy Body Restoration System and Balance your Brain Program, as we discuss the true causes of mental health issues, the limitations of conventional therapies and holistic strategies for better mental health.

A 2019 survey of over 3,000 participants noted considerable improvements in the following conditions by avoiding genetically modified organisms (GMOs)...
And while this survey was conducted in a group that may be more sensitive to GMOs, I think it’s important to acknowledge that GMOs do have health and environmental risks.
According to Jeffrey Smith, GMO advocate and this week’s podcast guest, novel developments in genetic engineering may possibly contribute to future pandemics.
Listen in to learn why GMOs are dangerous, how to identify them, how to get involved in regulating their use and so much more! Here are some highlights from our important discussion…

Several studies have shown a spike in anxiety, depression, and insomnia within the last year.
In fact, people are 3x more likely to have anxiety or depressive disorders (vs. 2019) and insomnia rates are up 37%.
And while many people turn to alcohol, drugs, or benzos to calm down, there’s an evidence-based, natural solution that comes with side benefits rather than scary side effects.
That solution is Tru Kava.
I learned about Tru Kava in March of last year, and have been using it to help me chill out and get more deep sleep ever since!
It works as an alcohol replacement and sleep tonic, AND it can also improve mental clarity.
Please note: if you search “kava” in google you will most likely find that kava causes liver issues, but please know that the kava that caused liver issues was made by a pharmaceutical company and is NOT the same as Tru Kava or the kava that has been used and revered for over 3000 years in places like Vanuatu.
It makes me so sad to think that people will miss out on the incredible benefits of this powerful plant because of this misunderstanding!
Tune in to this week’s podcast to learn all about the benefits of kava, the nuances in its production, and how to use it for best results with the founder of Tru Kava, Cameron George. Cameron's story of transformation made my hair stand on end and I hope you love this podcast as much as I did. Here are some of the highlights….

Many women today experience their menstrual cycle as a burden, rather than a superpower.
(I know because that used to be me.)
But the truth is, when we understand our cycle and the natural rhythm and hormonal shifts it creates, we can leverage those changes to accomplish some pretty amazing feats.
For example, there is a GREAT time of the month to eat more protein and build muscle.
There’s also an ideal time to be social and work for tips.
And there is a surprisingly perfect time to reflect and reevaluate.
When you don’t understand your cycle, these changes can seem overwhelming and unpredictable, but when you do, you can feel empowered and effective.
So if you’re ready to turn your cycle into a superpower check out this week’s podcast with the brilliant and beautiful, Dr. Stephanie Estima. Her knowledge is truly transformative.
Here are some of the fascinating tips we cover...

A recent Stanford study revealed that 80% of healthy people had blood sugar spikes.
Why does this matter?
Because blood sugar spikes are dangerous when they occur often enough or for long periods of time and can cause...
...and increased risk of conditions such as insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, reproductive issues, and cancer.
But the silver lining is there is now a way for EVERYONE to see exactly what is happening with their blood sugar in real-time using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).
Wearing a CGM allows you to identify the foods that are not working for you and find YOUR perfect diet. This is exactly what we talk about in today’s podcast with glucose expert and Lead Dietician at Nutrisense, Carlee Hayes. Here are some of the valuable insights we discuss...
Understanding your unique blood sugar response is one of the most important things you can do to improve your health and prevent disease so don’t miss this one, friends! And do not forget to share this important information with anyone you know might benefit.

We’ve all heard the benefits of melatonin for sleep, but it may surprise you to know that melatonin can also support…
And maybe even immune health.
Its impressive antioxidant potential is thought to be the reason for its many benefits, but what most people don’t know is that there are certain types of melatonin that research has shown are far more potent (in their ability to reduce oxidative stress) than others.
There are also certain supplements (hello Essential C Complex) that have been found to make melatonin even more effective in terms of its antioxidant potential.
So if you want to learn more about the best way to use melatonin to improve your health please tune into this week’s podcast with hormone expert and Director of Clinical Services at the Bastyr Center for Natural Health, Dr. Mona Fahoum!

We’ve all heard about the impressive benefits of intermittent fasting, but did you know the benefits of fasting (detox, fat burning, anti-aging, immune support) kick in at different times?
A “gut health” fast, for example, should be a little longer than one for fat burning or detox.
And if you’re a woman, there are certain times in your menstrual cycle where you may want to stop or limit fasting.
In other words - in order to experience the many benefits of fasting - you need a sound strategy.
Which is why in this week’s podcast with fasting expert Dr. Mindy Pelz, we talk all about how to create a fasting rhythm that supports your unique health goals.
Dr. Mindy is brilliant, energetic and her science-backed approach will inform and inspire you, I promise

Most importantly, we are now better able to provide targeted interventions that help people get well and stay well.
And in today’s podcast, one of my dear friends and a 15 year veteran of functional medicine, Dr. Stephanie Davis, teaches us about 4 genetic markers you can monitor to assess your immune function and simple strategies for building your resilient immune system.
