About the episode:
"Water is virtually ignored, but it is the backdrop of everything happening in the body."- Dr Clinton comes onto the podcast today to talk about water in ways youâve never heard it discussed.
Water makes up 70% of our bodies and influences our biological functions, cellular communication, and our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Cultivating a relationship with water is essential.
Our discussion about water takes us into a discussion about Quantum Parenting - a way we might parent when we understand the effects of light, sound, electricity, and coherence on relationships.
Guest Bio:
Dr. Catherine Clinton is a licensed naturopathic physician with over 16 years of experience with complex health conditions. Through the years she discovered that true health and healing rise out of our relationships and now teaches about quantum biological systems and the powerful medicine that lies in rekindling our intimate connection with the world around us. She is at the forefront of a medical paradigm shift we desperately need in an age of separation and chronic illness.

About the episode:
Is Kombucha safe for kids? What about the sugar? The caffeine? The alcohol? Is it ok to buy or does it need to be homemade? If we buy it, what do we look for on the label? What is âsugar freeâ kombucha? Is Kombucha really as healthy as people say? What if you have candida overgrowth? Or histamine intolerance?
On this episode we invited The Kombucha Mama herself, Hannah Crum, to answer all this and more.
Did you know that the sugar in Kombucha has a lower glycemic impact than normal sugar?
The health impact of Kombucha goes far beyond gut health. In this episode, we discuss the benefits and misconceptions of Kombucha.
Some takeaways:
Kombucha - a fermented tea - has the capacity to nourish us beyond the body. âKombucha is abundance in actionâThe sugar in kombucha, while necessary for the fermentation process, has a lower glycemic impact on the bodyThe caffeine content in kombucha can actually have a calming effect due to the synergy of the acids in the drinkPeople with histamine intolerance may have trouble with kombucha until gut health is improved in other waysMaking kombucha at home allows for more control over the yeast/bacteria balance but there are some good ones on the market Kombucha has detoxifying effects on the liver and can support sugar metabolism.The alcohol content in kombucha does not have an intoxicating effect. In fact, it may help curb alcohol cravings.Guest Bio:
Hannah Crum, aka âThe Kombucha Mamma,â pioneered Kombucha Kamp, an educational workshop, in 2004 out of her small Los Angeles kitchen. Along with husband Alex LaGory, they created the top educational site with a mission to âchange the world, one gut at a time,â by providing quality information, cultures and customer support. Through Kombucha Kampâs videos, blog posts, online support communities, and award-winning Amazon Best Seller, âThe Big Book of Kombucha,â they serve as mentors and the leading experts in Kombucha to millions of Kombucha lovers from all corners of the earth. A popular speaker about Kombucha, fermentation and bacteriosapiens, Hannah frequently tours and can be found speaking at corporate and health conferences, fermentation festivals and events throughout the US and abroad. As an extension of Hannah and Alexâs mission, they also co-founded Kombucha Brewers International in 2014 to unite and advocate for the commercial Kombucha bottling industry worldwide.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of knowing what is in and on our food so we can make educated quick decisions at the grocery store. Marketing tactics and product creep in stores have become harder and harder to navigate and we need to be savvy shoppers if we want to nourish our kids while also finding healthy shortcuts! We talk about food labels and the things we each consider hard âNOsâ when it comes to convenience foods.

About the episode:
As we wrap up season one of Feeding Families I want to address the elephants in the room - those feelings of guilt, shame, and not-enoughness that too often slide in alongside when we learn about nourishing our families.
Weâve covered a lot this season to emphasize the powerful force food and nourishment exert on the health of our kids. But if that sense of overwhelm is creeping in, this episode is for you.
I want to close out this year with words of encouragement and empowerment so you can confidently march into the new year with a solid plan for nourishing your family you feel good about.

About the episode
In this episode Jenn and Jess tackle female hormones and teen girls. Many parents roll their eyes when the topic of teenage hormones comes up. Thereâs general confusion about how to help girls move through puberty and a general resignation to the idea that periods can be painful and moods are bound to be volatile. But Jenn is changing all that. She helps girls and women take control of their health and hormones by understanding the power of their bodies and their cycles. Since she uses food as an integral tool for helping people manage their hormones, we talked about how we can motivate girls to embrace their bodies and support their health as they move through the teen years. Jenn drops some golden advice for any mother trying to help their teen girls make healthy choices.

About the episode:
âRegenerating health will start when the burden of toxic chemicals begins to lift. Without addressing this underlying burden on the body, the effort to consume nutrient-rich food is simply a way to plug the holes of vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by glyphosate.â- Kathleen DiChiara.
In this episode, Kathleen describes her dramatic journey feeding her family, how she figured out that chemicals in the food were a major trigger for her and her familyâs health issues, and how she turned things around. We have a straightforward and honest conversation about food quality, making decisions about where to spend our money, the value of keeping chemicals out, and how the phrase âlet food be thy medicineâ might be steering us in the wrong direction.
Guest Bio:
Kathleen DiChiara is a Functional Diagnostic NutritionÂź Practitioner, BioIndividual Nutrition Practitioner, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, health advocate, and trained chef. She is the founder of Rhode to Health, Inc., an internationally-recognized nutrition educator, author, researcher, speaker, mom of three, and health advocate.
Kathleen broke into the field of nutrition when at age 35, she went from being a competitive triathlete working in capital markets at a Fortune 500 company to completely disabled. At the same time, her son was diagnosed with autism and she counted 25 chronic illnesses just in her family of 5 alone! These events served as inspiration for Kathleenâs career change and commitment to reeducation.
Her most recent award-winning book, End Chronic Disease: The Healing Power of Beliefs, Behaviors, and Bacteria explores the intersection of mindset, daily habits, and the microbiome.

About the Episode
Nourishing Exceptional Kids - getting beyond âfixingâ and truly helping kids thrive
In this episode Jess invites Susan Baker to talk about her journey with her now 13 year old son Andrew who has autism and communicates without speaking. Susan shares her journey - from the early days to now - and talks about the impact of food and the challenges of feeding her son, along with how she came to understand and accept who he is so he could truly thrive as his best self.
Susan Bakerâs Bio
Susan Baker is the mom to two beautiful children, Andrew, 13, and Abby, 10. She is the author of Life, Love & Autism, a blog that chronicles her familyâs journey of growth and challenge, including love, loss and an autism diagnosis. Often hilarious, sometimes hard, but most certainly inspiring, Life, Love & Autism is raw, real, and relatable, even to those without autism in their lives. The stories are about the human connection and what brings us togetherâ the joy, the challenge, and the learning that comes from it all. Susan is a holistic nutritionist by training and has been in the natural health industry since 2001.
