#112. Discover the Root Cause of Your Health Issues with BASE20 Sep 202100:50:45

From medical school, to working at Facebook, Instagram and Amazon as a software engineer, Lola Priego's background and own health struggles were the catalyst for her to launch BASE. BASE is affordable at home testing technology that helps you get to the root cause of your issues with a data driven perspective, testing for Diet, Stress, Energy, Sex Drive & Sleep.

Feeling fatigued, Lola started the keto diet but still felt off so she went to the Dr and learned from her lab work it was due to B12 and folate deficiency, among other health issues. Once she discovered where her issues stemmed from and she could take her health into her own hands, it sparked an idea to solve a much larger issue: people do not know what is going on with their bodies. BASE was created to help us figure it out, get to the root cause, optimize our health and track it - all within the BASE app.

#101. Why Calories Don't Count and We Shouldn't Count Them14 Jun 202100:23:47

I also share how the FDA regulates (or leaves room for error) for calorie counts on packaged food and why you won't ever know how many calories you are consuming if you try to live by labels and numbers. I hope this episode brings you knowledge, food freedom and ultimately, a healthy sustainable way of living.

This episode is a Supplement Spotlight on a supplement we are all familiar with - probiotics.

#79. Simple Plantbased Lunch Ideas11 Jan 202100:28:33

One of the most requested questions I’ve been receiving lately during the #pbnprevamp Challenge is needing inspiration for easy and filling plantbased, not perfect lunch options. In this episode, I share how I plan and prepare lunch ideas for the week, along with tons of savory and sweet lunch ideas to give you inspiration and motivation while basing your meals around real whole plantbased foods that will give you energy, instead of relying on to-go or packaged foods that cost more money and lead to a mid-day slump. I also share some grocery shopping hacks I have picked up over the years to get a healthy plantbased lunch at some of our favorite stores without spending $30 at the hot bar.
