Here are some of the topics we dive into...

• Medications that can deplete moms
• How to prevent morning sickness (and why it happens!)
• The link between nutrient deficiency, pregnancy, and mental health issues

• How many carbs do you really need for a healthy pregnancy? 
• The most important food for the third trimester
• 2 strategies for a healthy, happy postpartum period
• The 3 key ingredients for a simple, healthy meal
• How to lose the baby weight gracefully 
• How much weight to lose per week for sustainable weight loss
• Her 6 favorite supplements to replete nutrient stores
• The best forms of magnesium for digestion, brain health, and relaxation
• The one food you’ll want to focus on before pregnancy

It’s no secret that poor sleep can cause irritability, decreased productivity and sugar cravings, but it may surprise you that according to sleep expert (and former Navy Seal) Dr. Kirk Parsley... 

“Those who are chronically sleep deprived, those who work lifetime night shifts, chronic insomniacs and those who take sleeping pills chronically die (on average) 12 years earlier and have a higher risk of disease earlier in life.”

Why? 

Because sleep is literally one of the most (if not THE most) important thing you can do for your health.

Jumping from diet to diet, pill to pill and/or protocol to protocol without relief can be exhausting. 

It’s a cycle many people (maybe even you) are trapped in today.

But the truth is - in order to feel vibrant long term (which is your birthright), you need to identify the root cause(s) of YOUR suffering. 

For example, breakouts can be caused by MANY things such as...

• Food allergies/intolerances
• Blood sugar/insulin imbalances
• Nutrient deficiencies
• Stress
• Hormonal dysfunction
• Gut issues
• Poor hygiene
• And more

My cystic breakouts were tied to a garlic intolerance (of all things) which is why all of the other remedies I tried for YEARS (candida cleanse, lotions, microdermabrasion, face creams, etc.) didn’t help.  

And why the paleo diet wasn’t enough for me to heal my skin.

In other words, different people with the same symptom may need different interventions AND sometimes lab testing can be invaluable for identifying your root issues. 

It was this realization that brought me to Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN). FDN is a training system that uses data-driven protocols and functional lab testing to help people identify the root cause (or causes) of their suffering. 

It teaches people to identify their contributors to “metabolic chaos” AND how to systematically cultivate health. 

I took this course nearly 2 years ago and it changed my life and the way I work with clients. 

So if you’re someone who would love to learn what it takes to get to the root cause of your health issues OR someone who would love to learn how to take their wellness practice to the next level, please tune in to today’s podcast with the founder of FDN (and expert in functional lab testing), Reed Davis. 

Here are a few of the gems you’ll learn about...

• Why some of us get sick and others don’t
• 10 reasons people get “sicker quicker”
• Why parasites and candida are not always the root issue
• The most common types of gut bugs
• The one belief I wish everyone had on their healing journey
• What vitalism is - and why it’s so important
• The difference between not having symptoms and health
• The Wellness Meter (and why you should know about it!)
• The benefits of gut bugs
• One of the biggest contributors to gut issues
• The difference between common and normal symptoms
• Reed’s favorite recommendations for gut testing
• The worst foods for gut health
• Reed’s favorite food sensitivity test
• 3 steps to improve gut health
• How to become a health detective
• And so much more!

The knowledge I gained from FDN was so empowering and helpful for me and all of my clients and I sincerely hope you love this interview as much as I did.

Today people are waking up to the fact that many diseases begin in the gut. 

And while changing the foods we eat, the water we drink and taking supplements can make a world of difference for some people, it’s just not enough for everyone. 

Which is why today I want to share the fascinating work of Dr. Jason Klop regarding a breakthrough gut-healing therapy called Fecal Microbiota Transplant, or FMT. 

(And YES, it does involve what you think it does...)

Now FMT is clearly not for everyone, but recent research and clinical experience has shown it can be INCREDIBLY beneficial for certain populations like…

• Autism
• C. Difficile
• IBS
• SIBO
• Crohn’s Disease
• Neurological Conditions such as Parkinson’s

In fact, research out of Arizona State University revealed that those with autism who received FMT experienced an 80% reduction in digestive symptoms and a 40% reduction in autism-related symptoms like hyperactivity, sleep issues and cognition. 

Pretty impressive, right?

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Tune in now to hear more about the incredible benefits of FMT and several other unique gut-healing strategies with Dr. Klop. Here are some of my favorite takeaways...

• His 3 simple steps for better gut health
• Why he doesn’t always avoid gluten
• Why he had to delete his social media accounts
• The true cause of food sensitivities
• The #1 assault on our gut health 
• Why eating 100 different foods a week is an important health strategy
• Where he believes 100% of SIBO begins
• Why grass fed dairy can be beneficial 
• The #1 mistake when it comes to FMT
• The biggest risk with FMT
• How to know if you’re a good candidate for FMT
• Whether FMT help with autoimmune conditions
• And much more

Many of us suffer from symptoms and mental health struggles we can’t explain. 

• We feel anxious.
• We self-sabotage.
• We experience depression.
• We have illogical fears.
• And despite our best efforts to lead a healthy lifestyle, something still feels “off.”

According to new research, this may be due to inherited family trauma. 

In fact, recent research has revealed we can inherit trauma (just like we do our hair or eye color) that can cause measurable changes in our DNA for several generations. 

Which means you may be feeling or behaving in a certain way, because your parents or grandparents experienced a traumatic event rather than because there is something wrong with YOU.

If this idea is as liberating and fascinating for you as it was for me, please tune in to this week’s podcast with award winning author of It Didn’t Start with You, Mark Wolynn! 

We discuss the science behind inherited family trauma, how to identify it and (most importantly) what you can do today to overcome it. 

The stories he shares will literally make your hair stand on end and I sincerely hope you love this conversation as much as I did.

Anxiety. Resentment. Sadness. Overwhelm. 

Feelings so many of us are experiencing right now. 

And feelings that can negatively impact our health if left unaddressed.

Fortunately, there is a SIMPLE research-backed way to work through negative emotions and shift your body into relaxation mode in under 5 minutes. 

It’s called tapping, or the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).  

EFT has been empirically shown to reduce cortisol (stress hormone) levels more than talk therapy AND reduce cravings for foods like chocolate.  

So if you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, sad, and want to learn about a simple way to feel more relaxed anytime, anywhere, please check out today’s podcast with co-owner of The Tapping Solution, Alex Ortner. 

Here are some of the things you’ll learn:

• What is EFT?
• How to consciously shift from the stress response to relaxation response (and why it matters)
• How to access your full brain to make your best decisions
• Why tapping can rewire the brain and reduce cravings
  HOW to tap
• A fun way to teach kids to tap
• And so much more!

Learning to relax is one of the most important things we can do for our health! I hope this conversation inspires you to make it part of your daily routine...

By now you've likely heard that enzymes can improve digestion.

It may surprise you, though, to know that enzymes can support optimal health in MANY empirically documented ways.

Certain enzymes support healthy levels of inflammation.

Others have been shown to reduce blood sugar and triglycerides. 

There are even enzymes that can support immune function.

BUT, not all enzymes are created equally.

Some support health beautifully, while others can actually detract from it. 

Tune in to today's fascinating podcast with health engineer and creator of HealthyGut.com, Steven Wright, to learn about how to tell the difference. 

You’ll also learn why enzymes are one of the most powerful and often overlooked health strategies, how to identify high quality versions and where to try some of my favorites on the market! 

Here are some highlights from our chat:

• A simple, super cheap supplement for a healthier brain, bigger muscles and better sleep
• Why enzymes are critical for optimal health\
• The difference between systemic and digestive enzymes
• Signs that you have low levels of enzymes
• The enzymes that may help lower your blood sugar and triglycerides
• Why certain enzymes can deplete your minerals (and why that matters)
• Steve’s favorite anxiety hack
• What brush border enzymes are - and why they are SUPER important
