In today's episode, I'm sharing about how one of my patients got rid of fatigue, muscle aches, bladder infections, and mood swings by changing their diet. This patient was a vegetarian but she wasnβt eating vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds and beans, instead she was eating processed foods, and lots of carbs.
No matter what type of diet or lifestyle you're following, if it doesn't include real, whole foods, then it's not supporting your health. It may support weight loss or some other goal, but not optimal health and vitality.
Could your health be a diet adjustment away from experiencing energy and vitality?
If you want to make a course correction in your food routine, join us for the 49 Day Supercharged Shake the Sugar Challenge starting May 1st. For less than $10/week you can get the knowledge, support, and accountability you need to supercharge your eating routine with real, whole foods!

In today's episode, I'm talking about the fruits and veggies you want to buy organicif you want to avoid excess pesticide exposure.
The following whole foods have the highest levels of multiple pesticides.
Peaches,nectarines Grapes Strawberries Cherries Spinach Apples Brussel sprouts Cucumbers Tomatoes Apricots Lettuce Bean podsConsuming these otherwise health promoting foods in a non-organic form can increase the risk of cancer, neurological disorders, hormone imbalance (PCOS, endometriosis), and reproductive problems (infertility, fetal death, birth defects). That's why it's important to buy organic.
The only exception is if your are buying them from a trusted, local source that doesn't use pesticides. The benefits of the fruit or vegetables do not outweigh the toxicity of the chemicals.

In today's episode, we're talking about ultra-processed foods.
I canβt think of a good reason to eat ultra-processed foods.
Manufacturing them destroys the environment and the human. The only people helped are those who own the companies. All the while, the uninformed human is duped by the perfectly manicured packaging thinking that life sustenance can be gathered from these pseudo foods.
The problem with processed foods is not just the flavour enhancers, food coloring, nitrates, sodium benzoates, foaming agents, anti-caking agents, bulking agents, and thickeners, though of course they promote dysfunction in the human body, it is also the fact that the natural matrix of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals have been removed.
Ultra processed foods require the body to use precious resources to digest, detoxify and extract what it can from this defunct food substance.

In today's episode, I'm talking about apple cider vinegar.
How many times have you heard about some miracle cure ingredient or food item that seems to help every disease state known to man? While most of these supposed "miracle products" are nothing more than good marketing, there are a few tried and true products that have proven themselves to be effective in catapulting our health.
One of these products is Apple Cider Vinegar. So today I am going to share 20 health benefit opportunities to capitalize on with apple cider vinegar.

In today's episode, I'm talking about healthy snacks. While there is no perfect meal routine for all of humanity, there is a real food routine. We snack because we want to, because it brings us pleasure, not because it is helping us build and sustain life.
If granola bars, candy bars, ice cream, doughnuts, breads, crackers, chips and salsa are your regular go-to snack, then your trajectory is towards fat accumulation, bone deterioration, depression, anxiety, arthritis and all the other degenerative conditions associated with pre-packaged, ultra processed foods.
However, if you are grabbing apples, berries, carrots, celery, cucumbers, slices of meat, nuts, and seeds, life is being seeded into your body and you can expect a profitable health trajectory.

In today's episode, we are talking about labels. Sadly on most packaged foods in 6-8 font type, youβll see bioengineered ingredients. Bioengineered food contains modified genetic material.
The reason itβs done is to make it easier to make lots of processed food and to give that processed food a longer shelf life. The most common genetically modified food crops in the U.S. are:
Canola Corn Soy Sugar beets Yellow squash ZucchiniThe thing is these bioengineered foods introduce novel organisms or proteins that trigger an immune response. One of the reasons why I recommend eliminating soy and corn products from your diet is because even on organic farms there is cross contamination since the bioengineered farm sits right next to the organic farm.

In today's video, I'm sharing some coffee creamers that won't derail your health and taste good too. Because coffee and coffee creamer is a daily habit for most people, it's important that they are leading us towards health and not compounding toward disease and dysfunction.
Coffee mate creamer and its 25 flavors have a market value of 18.5 billion dollars and are expected to climb to 28.39 billion dollars by 2030. This means that people are going to be moving away from real food and closer to artificial, chemically engineered pseudo foods.

In today's episode, I want to zero in on habits that likely affect us all on a daily basis. Because as you know, what we do daily, can compound in the direction of health or disease.
In light of that, I think we ought to make sure we are receiving all the benefits and none of the associated problems. Let's discuss water, coffee, and olive oil.

In today's episode, we're talking about how inflammation can block iron and general nutrient absorption.
Whether from stomach gastric cell atrophy due to an H. pylori infection or acid blocking medications used for heartburn, the lack of sufficient hydrochloric acid production makes it so that iron is not converted to a bioavailable form.
Not to mention when you turn off HCL, (the major incinerator of food) via a proton pump inhibitor, the pH of the stomach is only getting down to a 4 or 5 instead of 2, you canβt completely break down the food, let alone absorb the minerals in the food.
Iron deficiency for so many in the Western world is not due to a lack of iron input, unless perhaps you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, but it is because of chronic low grade inflammation induced by our Standard American Diet and high stress lifestyle.

In this episode, we're talking about what causes a disease state? What causes a person to end up in a situation where pharmaceutical interventions are being implemented?
This may come as a shock to you but protein, fiber, carbohydrates, fat and calories do not cause disease or the need for pharmaceuticals. All of these conditions are caused by and promoted via ultra processed food consumption and a sedentary lifestyle.
We have been duped over and over that counting calories, reducing fat, eating low carb is the answer, all the while we are not seeing results in blood sugar, cholesterol, cognition, and abdominal fat. It is because we are being taught to eat manufactured food broken up into macronutrients on a label.
How we style our life with food and drink is the bedrock for the symptoms our body manifests. What adjustment, tweak, positive forward movement can you take to style your life, so that you can experience the health state you say you want?

In today's episode, we're looking at a completely overlooked cause of iron deficiency and that is non-alcoholic induced fatty liver disease.
The body doesn't absorb iron in a state of inflammation and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a state of chronic low grade inflammation.
The liver supports detoxification and elimination clearance. Overcoming iron deficiency requires a holistic approach. Without removing yourself from the Standard American way of eating you will not resolve your fatty liver and you will find yourself suffering from iron deficiency.

In today's episode, we're talking about the power of mindset.
Have you labeled yourself as having poor willpower or no self control? In looking at addicts, their belief that they were powerless was just as significant in determining whether or not they succeeded in addiction treatment as their actual physical dependence on a substance.
I was with a gentleman this past week who had started up a reading plan and a wholesome food routine, who reiterated multiple times how he'll probably "fall off the wagon" so to speak when life gets busy.
This kind of thinking and speaking is premeditated self sabotage. It is like the person who does the Shake the Sugar Challenge and is planning the dessert they are going to eat the day the challenge is over.
We are literally planning our own demise. The challenge is a concentrated time to set yourself up for total liberation.
Physical exertion, consistent sleep, whole life giving food, is vital for health, but the thing that will actually pull it all together and enable a lifestyle where we get beyond doing challenge after challenge and perpetually accumulate health is our mindset.

In today's episode, we're talking about consumption in the context of habits.
What could you consume this coming year to set yourself up for massive health accumulation?
So many people jump straight to weight loss when they think of consumption.
But I think of the patient who stopped consuming social media 30 minutes after work and instead, drove 5 minutes to her local track and started walking for 30 minutes and has been doing this now for 7 months.
I also think of the patient who stopped consuming white chocolate mochas on the way to work each day and not only dropped 14lbs, but found they were not craving a sugar fix in the afternoon anymore.
What we consume produces and feeds our mindset. In my experience, the patients who go the farthest in their health and see lasting results are those who focus on adjusting their life inputs, rather than writing goals like, "I want to lose 30lbs or fit into a certain pair of pants".
We adjust our inputs and our body canβt help but manifest differently.
What consumption habit are you going to change this year?

In today's episode, we're talking about mindset.
Our mindset is our perspective and attitude towards life.
The words, activities and routines that flow from our life are the quickest way to recognize the state of our mind. As humans we tend to believe that our own self-assumed limitations based on our life experiences are hardwired into the rest of humanity.
They are not.
Can you relate to any of these limiting beliefs?
βI am an all or nothing kind of person.β
βI have never been able to get a break at my work.β
βI must get a college degree to get a good job.β
βMy skills are not adequate.β
βI have started 100βs of diets and always end up farther behind then the last time.β
βMy body sees food and gains weight.β
βI donβt like vegetables.β
βI canβt live without diet coke.β
βI have tried quitting tobacco or alcohol but my body needs it.β
βI just donβt like exercising.β
βI struggle with mental illness, just like my mom.β
Listening to 1000βs of patients and people at large, I have seen how we handicap our capabilities by our own self-imposed limitations.

In today's episode, we're talking about how to get the most from intermittent fasting.
A fasting routine is a great way to remind food who's boss. The beauty of time restricted feeding or eating within a particular window is that you can move the window around to meet the day's demands. If you are practicing the standard 8 hour feasting and 16 hour fasting windows and not feeling well, then it's time to readjust your fasting and feeding windows.
β‘οΈBreak up your fasting at least one time per week. For example, if you normally fast for 16 hours a day, then try fasting for 12 or 14. If you want this to be a lifestyle, having these breaks is high value as it releases the tension that can build up from thinking every day I donβt eat until this time and I stop at this time.
β‘οΈI think it goes without saying, but when breaking your fast, I would choose real food. This might seem like a no brainer, but to experience the magnitude of benefits wrapped up in a fasting window, real food is a must.
β‘οΈI would also note that in maximizing the effectiveness of fasting and getting the greatest long term health gains, it is paramount to make protein and resistance training a priority.
Those who don't do this, end up seeing significant reductions in bone density and lean body mass (i.e. muscle) as part of their weight loss, this can be remedied through consistent resistance training and a minimum of 60 grams of protein during your feeding window.

In today's episode, we are talking about how to transform your body from a stagnant pond to a raging river.
When your body is a pond, then you are collecting all the garbage from work, all the family tension, all the money tension, and all of llfe's stressors.
The tension, stress, anxiety, and worry have no place to go, and the algae and muck keep building up. Unfortunately, when this happens, dysfunction is going to manifest in the body.
On the other hand, if you train your body to be a river, all the junk flows downstream and you are being cleansed non stop as the water rushes over the rocks. This begs the question, "how do we become a raging river?"
The first and most valuable step is to physically move your body. Shoving life tension and stressors under the rug, pushing it into the closest, scrolling on social media only creates a more murky, potentially disease-infested pond.
Let's talk about some ways we can move our body.

In today's episode, we are talking about how to set our children up for success when it comes to their health.
A child doesnβt have fully developed executive function. This is the ability to make decisions that are in their best interest rather than based on emotion or what feels or tastes good in the moment.
Yet, we give them a phone at age 12-13 and expect them to not be glued to it and be able to handle it properly. Or consider what our children eat. At home they have highly palatable made-for-addiction foods sitting in the cupboard, but we are asking them to make their own lunch, loaded with whole foods.
I think the question we can ask ourselves before scolding our child about their media or food choices, is did I teach my child how to master food and media?
Am I modeling it for them? When we model it for them, the training becomes the easy part.
