Today’s episode is all about the vaginal microbiome, and I’m joined by Dr. Jacques Ravel, a leading expert in microbiology and immunology. Dr. Ravel has been deeply involved in research on the vaginal microbiome and co-chairs the Seed Health Scientific Advisory Board. We dive into the science behind Seed’s new VS-01™, a vaginal symbiotic probiotic that introduces Lactobacillus crispatus to promote a healthy vaginal environment. Dr. Ravel explains why vaginal acidity is key to preventing infections and how a balanced microbiome can help prevent common issues like bacterial vaginosis and UTIs. We also touch on how everyday practices like douching, lubricants, and even antibiotics can disrupt the delicate balance of the microbiome.

| 297. Raising Resilient Kids: Unlock the Magic of the Microbiome & Find the Stress Sweet Spot with Dr. Elisa Song #FabulousFriends | 10 May 2024 | 01:15:02 | |
In 2005, the New England Journal of Medicine predicted that, for the first time in history, our kids are expected to have shorter lifespans than us – their parents. To address this startling statistic and figure out how to help our kids be more happy and healthy, we're joined by Dr. Elisa Song, a Stanford, NYU, and UCSF-trained integrative pediatrician and pediatric functional medicine expert. Also a mother of two thriving children, Dr. Song has dedicated her career to helping parents and practitioners bridge the gap between conventional and holistic pediatrics with an evidence-based, pediatrician-backed, parent-approved approach. Acknowledging the rise in mental health issues and chronic illnesses in the younger generation, we tackle the tough conversation around how to help our kids make better food choices and manage stress to support their gut health and overall wellbeing. From dissecting the impact of diet choices to connecting the dots between stress and gut health, Dr. Song offers research-backed practical strategies for nurturing resilience in children and encouraging informed food choices. Through empowering discussions on nutrition education, stress management techniques, and navigating the influence of the food industry, this episode will give parents a guide to teaching their children tools for living their most healthful and happy lives. If you're a parent who wants to know that you're doing everything you can to help your kids be well and stay well, look no further. Dr. Song has you covered with her practical, proven steps to raising resilient kids one microbiome at a time. For more information and support on this topic, make sure to preorder Dr. Song’s new book, Healthy Kids, Happy Kids. We also cover: (00:01:11) Why Kids Today Aren’t Happy or Healthy (00:13:12) The New Normal: Links Between Stress & Gut Health (00:23:40) The Stress Performance Curve & Nervous System Regulation (00:35:04) Practices to Help Parents & Kids Manage Stress (00:47:01) Helping Kids Build Gut Health & Resilience Through Informed Choices Resources: • Click here for full show notes • Website: healthykidshappykids.com • Instagram: @healthykids_happykids • Read: Healthy Kids, Happy Kids by Elisa Song, MD • Whole Family Wellness: Helping Our Kids Thrive with Dr. Elisa Song #208 Connect with Kelly: • Instagram: @bewellbykelly • Facebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykelly * Content from this podcast is provided for information and education purposes only, and is not intended as a substitute for the advice provided by your physician or other healthcare professional.

| 207. Sit With Whit: Living Through Honesty with Dr. Whitney Goodman #FabulousFriends | 14 Oct 2022 | 00:43:40 | |
You open Instagram and it hits you right away, a sense of perfection or idealism that seems just a little too shiny, a little too great to be real. And guess what? Most of the time, it isn’t. Today's guest, Dr. Whitney Goodman, assures us of that much and more. She's the radically honest psychotherapist behind the popular Instagram account, @sitwithwhit, the book Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real in a World Obsessed with Being Happy, and the owner of the Collaborative Counseling Center, a private therapy practice in Miami. She helps individuals and couples heal past wounds and create the life they've always wanted. We spend this episode unpacking the false perception of perfection all around us, the world’s constant striving for “happiness,” and why finding center in your life is so much more complicated than that – and should be! Whether it’s content-friendly or not – feeling all the feelings, really embracing them and chershing them, can be as healthy for us as a diverse and nutrient-rich diet. Dr. Goodman offers up a more diverse experience, more layers to really dive into and learn about ourselves and the people we love. We get tips on listening (it’s more than just hearing!), recognizing toxic positivity and understanding why it sells, the importance of values over happiness, and prioritizing focus time – even thirty minutes a day – to help keep your mind sharp. It’s time to get honest about – well, everything! There’s no time to waste striving and stressing over goals that only move further into the distance the harder we work at them. Life is perfect as it is, we’re so glad Dr. Goodman took the time to share this message with us today. You will learn about...

| 206. Fixing Our Relationships with Cooking & Eating with Vanessa Rissetto | 12 Oct 2022 | 00:57:49 | |
Today’s super informed guest on the podcast is Vanessa Rissetto MS, RD, CDN, the co-founder of Culina Health. Her magic lies in her realistic and personalized approach to nutrition with science as her first love. She's most interested in helping clients take an active role in their health journey through personalized lifestyle plans backed by evidence-based, science-driven nutrition counseling, adult weight management, and building a better relationship with food. We start our conversation touching on the role of Culina Health in today’s medical world and how the rapid need for telehealth services created huge opportunities, and challenges, for the new company. The world is still changing on a daily basis it seems, but we have innovators like Vanessa to thank for keeping us in mind as it does. Vanessa’s perspective on the space ranges from the past, where vast differences in family culture made for a different at-home eating experience in most cases, to the present, where shame and fear too often poison the well of wellness – even toward the future, where she encourages us to take small steps toward a cleaner life with actionable tips for doing so. Her main advice is sound, and it always will be – sometimes simple is better! Especially when time is limited, opting for something that is easy, quick, and nourishing for your family is totally possible; you just have to know where to look (Hint: not Instagram).

| 205. Finding Hope in Immune Rejuvenation with Dr. Jeffrey Bland | 07 Oct 2022 | 01:02:36 | |
The esteemed Dr. Jeffrey Bland, an internationally recognized leader in the nutritional medicine field, joins the show today. He’s a biochemist by training, co-founding the Institute for Functional Medicine in 1991 while coming to be known to many as The Father of Functional Medicine. Dr. Bland invites us into his deep wisdom and vast experience as we explore his path to, and away from, traditional medicine, before delving into the issues we see in modern healthcare and what the rapidly changing space might look like in the near future. Today’s healthcare ills, as he points out, can be tied to money’s omnipresence in the market, which has urged the prioritization of disease treatment – for profit’s sake, mostly – rather than focusing on promoting societal wellness as its table-stakes mission. We also talk about his latest project, Big Bold Health, which launched in 2018, through which he's on a mission to transform the way people think about one of nature's greatest innovations, the mighty immune system. That’s right, the gut remains front and center as Dr. Bland breaks down the differences between boosting and balancing, benefits to eating the rainbow, and much more. By advocating for the power of immuno-rejuvenation to enhance immunity at a global level, he’s really doing some important work for the world – work that generations in the future (and today!) can look back upon and be so thankful for.

| 204. Toxins in Disguise: Dr. Anthony Jay on Estrogenics #WellnessWednesday | 05 Oct 2022 | 00:56:37 | |
Dr. Anthony Jay is the President of the International Medical Research Collaborative, a nonprofit organization based in Boston that trains medical students from around the globe. He is also an author and renowned expert on estrogenics, substances that merely act like estrogen in our body, oftentimes tricking it into negative chain reactions in our health – even cancer. So, where are these tricky imposters in the products around us? And, how can we avoid them in the future? Dr. Anthony details the long list in his book, and is kind to share many examples in our conversation today. Specifically, he touches on fragrances, petroleum products, soy products, and mold, which is so much more common in shelf products like coffee, grains, and peanuts than you might imagine. We also talk about the role that the gut microbiome, an old familiar friend, plays in our processing of these chemicals, and draw a very real connection between the harms of estrogenics and everyday plastics like water bottles and shower liners. If you’re listening to this and looking around your life with a newfound stress, know that you’re not alone in this collective journey to a more natural, non-toxic, and simple life. Knowledge is key. Understanding complexities like those presented today is the first step toward making positive changes. And we’re here to help you get there, every step of the way. You will learn about...

| 203. A Balanced Approach to Gut Health and Detoxification with Dr. Vivian Chen | 28 Sep 2022 | 01:03:57 | |
Dr. Vivian Chen was practicing conventional medicine in the UK when her own debilitating symptoms of fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, and acne were dismissed as “normal” by the medical community. Then, she took matters into her own hands, becoming her own health detective and uncovering a holistic approach to understanding health at a whole body level. With this new informed practice, Vivian, like so many in our space, healed herself. These days, she's a certified integrative health practitioner and the founder of Plateful Health, through which she helps her clients find true long lasting vitality of body and mind. This one is packed with relatable experiences and stories, like her daughter’s scary allergy event; deep dive clinical data and scientific reasoning, particularly as they connect to the gut’s microbiome and detoxing; and actionable real-life advice, from prepping your body for a detox to supplement use and daily routine tips.

We talk about her introspective and insightful new book, Liking Myself Back: An Influencer's Journey from Self-Doubt to Self-Acceptance, and the (very public) journey of self-discovery she’s experienced while building a business and growing a family. Of course, parenting is a big piece of our focus, but we also touch on the importance of nurturing intimate relationships, work/life balance, and the pressure on moms to juggle it all. Jacey gets real on the impact that her pregnancy had on her business prospects but provides a shining example of someone, with support from her partner, who’s found that perfect balance.

| 190. Revolutionizing the School Lunch System with Barbara Mechura | 24 Jun 2022 | 01:02:17 | |
It’s no secret that school lunches have been in decline for decades. Chances are, the food you remember from school would give you nightmares if your child’s cafeteria served it in 2022. Yes, Michelle Obama did some good work in the space – and progress has been made. But as we learn today, there’s a lot of work left to do when we’re talking about truly healthy school lunches. My guest today, Barbara Mechura, school nutrition director and holistic health coach, has dedicated her career to shifting this narrative toward scratch-made meals. We learn that, while it’s certainly more work, these mindfully prepared meals lead to a better outcome for everyone involved (students and staff). It’s time we stopped taking the easy way out with pre-packaged convenience foods that create serious long-term problems for students’ health.

Feeding kids is hard, even when you’re an expert in the field. Jennifer Anderson is a registered dietician and has a Master's of Science in Public Health from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Her journey with childhood feeding started when her 3-year old, as she says, fell off the growth chart. What she discovered included more questions than answers – at first. In 2017, she founded Kids Eat In Color, a popular online resource that helps children and families from all backgrounds have better nutrition and mental health via access to expert, actionable information. Prior to starting Kids Eat In Color, she coordinated youth nutrition programs at a food bank, performed research in inner city food deserts, and consulted for the USDA. Our conversation is another mom-centric goldmine of real world advice and reliability. Jennifer and her brand take all parents as they are; no food is good or bad – and if you did your best, what you did was good. Even if our hurdles, and those of our kids, seem unique at the moment – we’re all in this together. You will learn about...

JJ also shares her personal wellness routine, including her go-to meals, protein intake, and recovery practices. We also talk about menopause, hormone replacement therapy, and adrenal health. We wrap up with quick fire questions about her takes on caffeine, alcohol, and more. JJ is an inspiration as a wellness leader, mom, and example of how to age powerfully, and I know you’ll learn as much from her as I have.
