Much like processed junk food, there are SO many JUNK skin care products on the market.
Ones that promise fewer breakouts, softer, wrinkle-free skin and a radiant glow, but are filled with so many chemicals that they make things worse.
Believe me, I used to have the worst skin. I spent my twenties trying product after product.
The good news? I’ve found a few skincare tricks and tips (as well as products) that have helped me get the kind of skin I’ve always wanted. So in today’s podcast, we’re talking all things skin with the COO of one of my all-time favorite organic, natural skin care companies, Annemarie Skin Care. Here are some of the enlightening tidbits you’re in for:
I hope you love this short and sweet episode as much as I did.

There was a time I struggled to get out of bed in the morning. I had lingering thyroid issues I couldn’t seem to fix and I felt like I had hit a wall HARD with my keto diet.
I didn’t know it then, but I desperately needed an adrenal recode.
What is an adrenal recode, you ask?
It’s an amazing system my friend Christa Orecchio, founder of the Whole Journey, created to banish unrelenting fatigue and heal the thyroid, adrenals and nervous system for good.
Not enough people talk about it, but adrenal and thyroid issues go hand-in-hand and until your nervous system is balanced, long term vibrant health will elude you.
So tune in today to find out what you can do to find balance and thrive for GOOD.
And, as always, please share this info with anyone you know who is stressed or fighting fatigue daily.
There IS a better way.

Many prescription medications deplete key nutrients. Birth control, for example, can deplete nutrients like vitamin B9, vitamin C, zinc and magnesium.
Which scares me because if a woman stops taking birth control and gets pregnant right away, she could still be depleted in nutrients (like B9) required for fetal development because of the birth control she was taking.
The side effects of common meds can also be the result of this nutrient depletion.
If you’ve ever felt anxious or moody on birth control (like I did) it might be because about 80% of women taking birth control pills experience altered tryptophan metabolism.
Which is why I could not wait to share a line of products created by my brilliant friend Sarah Morgan, that address the nutrient deficiencies associated with common medications.
So if you’re taking birth control or statin medications (or know someone who is) please tune in (and share) today’s awesome podcast to learn how individuals taking prescription medications can feel good and support their health while still getting the benefits of their medications.

Cravings.
Overeating.
Excess weight.
Three things many people experience that can stand in the way of the vibrant health they deserve. And sadly, many times even the best of intentions (coupled with conventional strategies) are not enough for lasting change.
But what if I told you that even if you’ve tried EVERYTHING, there is still a system that could be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.
And that it involves eating ice cream (or whatever food you crave most), overeating and zero exercise (at least at first).
You’d probably think I was CRAZY, but you’d be wrong because best selling author (and personal friend), David Zappasodi, has worked with hundreds of people using this cutting-edge approach and the results speak for themselves.
People who couldn’t stop eating ice cream, don’t even think about it anymore.
People who couldn’t stop overeating, eat ½ of what they used to in a typical day and feel satisfied.
And people who simply couldn’t lose weight, lose it steadily and keep it off.
So if you’re ready to learn what it takes to free yourself from unhealthy cravings, overeating and stalled weight loss for good, tune in now!
I promise, this is nothing you’ve ever heard before and it might be just what you need to change your life. <3

I was shocked when I learned over 90% of the vitamin C on the market today is NOT true vitamin C, but a synthetic form called ascorbic acid.
And that most of the time, ascorbic acid is derived from GMO corn in China and processed using volatile acids.
How do you know the difference between real vitamin C and the synthetic kind?
All you have to do is check the ingredient label on your vitamin C supplement. If it says “ascorbic acid” you’re definitely going to want to learn the important differences from the founder of the Root Cause Protocol, Morely Robbins in this podcast!
Ascorbic acid is NOT the same as vitamin C.
There are important differences that you need to know about!
So listen in and share this podcast so we can spread the good word!
P.S. Don’t let the big words at the beginning of the podcast scare you, it’s critically important to understand the nuances and we get to the suuuper practical take-home message at the end. You’re not going to want to miss it! <3

When Dr. Steinberger (a former clinical psychologist) was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, she never filled her prescription. Taking medication just didn’t feel right to her.
After a little digging, she learned that contrary to what conventional medicine generally believes, type 2 diabetes is reversible ... even preventable. With this newfound wisdom, she embarked on a mission to take back her health naturally.
What did she do to reverse her disease naturally? Tune in right now to learn all about the 3 most important steps she took to take her health back!
And as always, do share this life-changing info with anyone you think it could benefit.

You wouldn’t know it today given all of the lives Dr. Masterjohn has powerfully transformed via the healing power of food, but there was a time he did not feel well. In fact, according to Dr. Masterjohn…
“My experience with veganism was pretty bad...terrible anxiety, borderline psychotic, teeth fell apart, digestion fell apart… 6 or 7 times I ended up in the emergency room at the height of a panic attack.”
It wasn’t pretty. But today Dr. Masterjohn is one of the most respected minds in the wellness space and one of my all-time favorite podcast guests.
(Which is why we’ve had him on 3 times).
So if you’re wondering how he made his remarkable recovery, whether or not veganism can be done safely, the truth about anemia and how to improve mental health via food, don’t you dare miss this chat!
And share this with anyone you know who may benefit pretty please…<3
Are you sick of being sick? If so, do yourself a favor and listen to this week’s podcast with Dr. Brenda Walding to find out how she finally healed from a multitude of health issues including an antibiotic-resistant infection, chronic fatigue and breast cancer. Her unique approach is powerful and includes steps you can take TODAY, from home to finally take your health back. <3
Many people today are told that they have low iron levels.
But that often isn’t the whole truth. In fact, according to today’s podcast guest, founder of the Root Cause Protocol, Morley Robbins…
“There is not one person on Earth that has a true deficiency of iron.”
According to Morley, most of us are not lacking iron but the co-factors (namely copper) that allow us to USE the iron properly. The sad result?
Many people today have too much iron in the wrong place which can cause oxidative stress (aka internal rusting).
So if you want to learn about 6 simple steps you can take today to avoid iron issues, age gracefully and reduce your risk of disease, tune in now!
By now you’ve probably heard that medicinal mushrooms (think reishi, chaga, cordyceps, shiitake) have a WEALTH of health benefits (increased energy, improved immunity, anti-aging, etc.) but you probably didn’t know that most mushroom supplements aren’t actually mushrooms. Often times half of the supplement is actually GRAIN. I wish I were joking. So if you’re spending your hard-earned dollars on mushroom supplements or just want to know how to choose the highest quality mushrooms then listen to this week’s podcast with the founder of Nammex, Jeff Chilton! You’ll be glad you did. <3
I know by now we’ve all heard that sitting is bad, but I was shocked to learn that for every hour we sit, we lose two hours of life.
Yes, it’s THAT bad. In fact, according to the World Health Organization, sitting too much is the 4th biggest preventable killer - contributing to 3.2 MILLION DEATHS annually.
Did you know that there is a gut - oral health connection?
In fact, when our oral microbiome is healthy, bacteria and viruses (H.pylori, salmonella, the flu) will not flourish.
The only problem?
Most of our mouthwashes and toothpastes contain ingredients like triclosan, fluoride and glycerin that DESTROY the oral microbiome.
So if you’re still using conventional oral care products (or want 50% off all-natural whitening system) check out this week’s podcast with the CEO of Primal Life Organics, Trina Felber!
Confession time: I am NOT great in the kitchen.
I mean, I LOVE food and am fascinated by its incredible potential for transforming our health, but when it comes to preparing it…I’ve got a lot of room to grow. And honestly, being intimidated by cooking is a common complaint I hear from the people I work with.
Thankfully, I have finally found a solution for us all!
My good friend Leanne Ely (aka the dinner party QUEEN) and the creator of Saving Dinner is on a mission to bring dinner back to American dinner tables via her NutriCoach School Program.
This program consolidates her 30 years of nutrition + kitchen experience and provides instructional videos so you can learn the kitchen skills you need to feel like a kitchen goddess and prepare nutritionally-intelligent nourishing meals.
And because every single meal you feed to your family literally has the power to positively (or negatively) impact their genetic and future health, there is almost nothing more important.
She has decided to take me under her wing (she even bought my little Maverick a kid-friendly knife set for his 4th birthday) and you can learn all about her incredible program and how to get your little ones excited about healthy food in this week’s podcast, Cultivating Kitchen Confidence with Leanne Ely!
