#119 Stop Dieting and Start Living: The Answers You’ve Been Looking For with Coach Ali Sempek - VIDEO EPISODE!!

What does it really mean to be healthy? In this episode, we're chatting with Ali Sempek, an internationally certified wellness coach and the founder of Ask Coach Allie. Ali's journey from struggling with disordered eating to becoming a beacon of women's empowerment is nothing short of inspiring. After spending a decade trapped in a cycle of self-loathing and diet culture, she realized there had to be more to life than just fitting into a smaller pair of jeans. Now, she's on a mission to change the narrative of what healthy looks like.

Ali shares her personal story of discovering she had body dysmorphia, a revelation that came a decade into her struggles. Her journey wasn't easy, but it led her to a powerful realization: true wellness comes from within. Today, Ali helps women transform their relationships with food and their bodies, guiding them toward a more intuitive approach to health. She encourages her clients to "stop dieting, start living," a mantra that has resonated with countless women looking to break free from the constraints of diet culture.

Throughout our conversation, Ali emphasizes the importance of intuitive wellness, a philosophy that prioritizes listening to your body over following restrictive diets. She believes that by tuning into our own needs and desires, we can achieve a healthier and more fulfilling life. Ali's approach is all about empowerment, helping women to not only feel better in their bodies but to also see themselves in a positive and loving light. If you're ready to redefine what healthy means for you, this episode is a must-listen.

# 117 Are Green Drinks Actually Worth All of The Hype?

Wondering what all the rage is about green drinks? Green drink powders have gone from being on the fringe to enjoying the mainstream. Thanks to social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, as well as advertisements on podcasts and YouTube, green powder drinks have skyrocketed in popularity as a convenient way to boost daily nutrition.

Join me today as I unpack the pros and cons of green drinks and, most importantly, how to personalize the best green drink for you!

# 99 - Worried About Osteoporosis? 6 Must-Do Remedies to Improve Your Bone Health… Naturally

How often do you think about your bone health? Osteoporosis is a major public health issue affecting more than 10 million Americans. It’s a condition that affects bone density and strength, and it can have significant implications for your overall well-being.

Getting the right kind of bone-building nutrients, along with weight bearing exercise, is the key to preventing and reversing this disease.

In this episode, we're diving into why bone health is a crucial topic for everyone—whether you're a young adult, middle-aged, or older. 

We'll explore the causes of osteoporosis and the different types you need to know about. And we’ll unpack the many natural methods you can incorporate to help rebuild bone and reverse bone loss.

98 - Sidelined: Simple, Essential Steps to Improve Outcomes in Healthcare Appointments with Susan Salenger

Have you ever felt like you had to fight tooth and nail just to get the medical care you deserve? You're not alone. In today's episode, we're diving deep into the broken healthcare system, particularly as it pertains to women. We'll be chatting with Susan Salenger, author of "Sidelined: How Women Can Navigate A Broken Healthcare System," as she sheds light on the barriers women face in accessing quality medical care.

Susan opens our eyes to the harsh reality that, even in 2021, gender bias still runs rampant in the medical community. But here's the kicker – some of the barriers women encounter stem from within themselves. It's a double-edged sword, really. Women often find themselves prioritizing the health needs of their families over their own. Can you relate?

Navigating the healthcare system as a woman is no easy feat. But armed with knowledge and awareness, we can begin to dismantle these barriers and advocate for the quality care we all deserve. Tune in today as Susan Salenger shares her invaluable insights with us. Your health matters – find out how to make sure no one sidelines it!

# 97 - Are Electronic Devices Secretly Ruining Your Health? Nature's Brilliant Solution with Justin Frandson

Ever feel that something is “off” no matter what you do? Your energy never seems to rally and you can’t drop stubborn weight even though you’re doing “all the things”? 

Today, I’m joined by an incredible guest, Justin Frandson, Athleticism Performance Coach, founder of EMF Rocks, and author, who's here to shed light on the fascinating link between your environment and your ability to feel and perform your best.

In working with his athletes, Justin noticed that many were experiencing problems with performance, and he began to connect the dots to the effects of technology.

For example, he noticed that when one of his athletes stopped wearing his smartwatch, his performance dramatically improved. 

In his research, Justin found that the EMFs we’re exposed to from 5G, technology wearables, Wifi, and other various forms of electricity, are harming the human body in many ways.

In this episode we dive into EMFs and their effects on our natural sleep patterns, hormones, energy, and performance, along with lifestyle tips to reduce EMF exposure.

We also dive deep into EMF rocks and how they can reduce EMF toxicity that significantly affects your health. 

Justin shares easy changes we can make that reduce our EMF exposure. He also shows us how his innovative solution – EMF Rocks – can reduce EMF toxicity that you’re exposed to.

#94 - Food-Addicted? Unraveling the Food Industry's Grip: A Journey to Health with Eric Edmeades

Have you ever wondered how much power the food you eat holds over your health and well-being?

Shedding 35 pounds and bidding farewell to acne and infections without the need for surgery, Eric's remarkable recovery sparked a lifelong mission to empower others to reclaim their health.

#92 - Hormones or Horrible-mones? Wondering if Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy is Right for You? Interview with Dr Daved Rosensweet 

HORMONES - Ugh! If they are out of balance, everything in your body is unhappy. 

Hormones are complex, intricate, and unique to you. Low or high estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone can cause miserable symptoms and make you feel crazy. 

Thankfully, there are things you can do. 

My amazing guest on today’s episode, Dr. Daved Rosensweet, is an expert in women’s hormones, particularly bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) - a powerful and natural treatment for hormonal imbalances. Hormone replacement therapy has gotten a bad rap over the years - primarily due to faulty research. 

Dr. Rosensweet sets the record straight.

He is also a master of perimenopause and menopause, authoring the books Menopause and Natural Hormones and Happy Healthy Hormones: How to Thrive in Menopause. 

Dr. Rosensweet shares what led him to become so passionate about helping women to heal their hormones naturally and feel like themselves again. He also dives into why women are being UNDER-prescribed bioidentical hormone therapy and feeling overwhelmed. He gives excellent insight into whether or not you may benefit from BHRT. AND he’s giving away his free book, if you would like to learn more!

Check out this episode to get your hormone questions answered!
