BIO: My name is Steph Jackson and together with you I'm changing the way we think about holistic digestive health... Yes I’m a little hard core. I hike barefoot. I’ve done water fasts, juice fasts and pumpkin fasts. I’ve quit jobs, left partners and relocated for my health. I’ve read everything from Spiritual Nutrition to Chinese Medicine Formulations to Advanced Phytotherapy to the Textbook of Clinical and Functional Medicine. I’ve studied Herbalism, Aromatherapy, Color therapy, Functional Nutrition, Nutritional Endocrinology… And I STILL got sick! And I got better… Not by fighting with my biochemistry but by harnessing the power of my own body to heal itself with the help of the microbiome. I created a yogurt so that there would be a product in the store I was willing to buy.At the time I didn’t realize the tremendous healing potential of probiotic rich, living foods. Since applying everything I learned through designing my own yogurt to MYSELF my life has completely changed. After decades of searching for a community of like minded individuals I’ve come to realize… I am so FAR from the mainstream most “normal” people couldn’t begin to understand what I do, who I am and how I heal. So I’m creating my own community. Thank goodness for you. Or I’d be here alone. I believe it is through working with ALL of our bacteria that we will achieve dynamic, lasting health. I don’t believe in homeostasis. I believe we are adaptable, changeable and beautiful beings through which wellness can manifest if we get out of WAR with OURSELVES and our internal/external environment. I believe that without addressing the DIVERSITY of the microbiome we will never achieve lasting and robust health.

| From Sweet Treats To Sticky Arteries | 24 Apr 2024 | 00:16:07 | |
In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, I talk about the truth behind the role of sugar and insulin resistance in cardiovascular disease, exploring the prevalence of insulin resistance, its detrimental effects on the cardiovascular system, and practical strategies for early detection and management. Get ready to rethink your approach to nutrition and lifestyle as we unveil the keys to protecting your heart and optimizing your overall well-being. Make sure to listen to the whole episode to learn more. Key Points: Prevalence of Insulin Resistance: Insulin resistance, characterized by the inability of the hormone insulin to escort sugar into the cells, is widespread and underdiagnosed. Lifestyle factors such as diet, stress, exposure to toxins, and lack of sleep contribute to insulin resistance, which can lead to various cardiovascular complications. Effects of Insulin Resistance on Cardiovascular System: Insulin resistance damages the endothelium, leading to plaque buildup in the arteries. It also induces arterial wall thickening and stiffness, increases blood pressure, and disrupts lipid metabolism, contributing to atherogenic conditions and increasing cardiovascular risk. Need for Early Detection and Intervention: Detecting pre-insulin resistance and insulin resistance before they progress to diabetes is crucial for preventing cardiovascular complications. The symptoms, the side effects, the negative things that can happen with diabetes start decades before diabetes is diagnosed. Education and awareness about the risks associated with high glycemic foods, inadequate sleep, and chronic stress are essential. Important ReInvent Healthcare Links

| From Carnivore to Herbivore: Exploring the Science Behind Diet Choices | 17 Apr 2024 | 00:23:32 | |
In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, we explore the difference in protein in various diets. So many people are debating which type of diet is best, but what are they actually comparing? We'll explore the various aspects of different diets, what we should be looking at when discussing diets and the needs of our clients, and considerations to use in order to get the best results for our patients and clients. Listen to the full episode to learn more. Key Points: Nutritional Superiority of Plant-Based Proteins Plant-based proteins offer a denser nutritional profile compared to animal-based proteins. They provide a broader range of essential nutrients, antioxidants, and phytochemicals per calorie, supporting overall health and disease prevention. Environmental Impact and Sustainability Plant-based proteins are more environmentally friendly and sustainable than animal-based proteins. They contribute to a lower environmental footprint by reducing land use, resource consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions, highlighting their ecological benefits. Customization and Health Considerations There is no “one size fits all” when it comes to protein intake. Although animal-based proteins are not discouraged, plant-based diets are a great source of proteins, vitamins, and minerals for optimal health. Personalized dietary approaches prioritize whole, organic plant foods as well as the health needs and culture to ensure adequate nutrient intake and address individual health needs.

| Navigating Protein Facts and Fiction | 10 Apr 2024 | 00:36:54 | |
In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, we examine the world of proteins and their role in human health. From building tissues to supporting immune function and enzyme activity, proteins are indispensable for our well-being. We'll explore the various aspects of proteins, including their sources, essential amino acids, and considerations to use in order to get the best results for our patients and clients. Listen to the full episode to learn more. Key Points: The Role of Proteins in the Body Proteins serve as the fundamental building blocks of the human body, playing a myriad of vital roles in health and function. They are needed for the construction and repair of various tissues, including muscles, bones, skin, and the lining of the digestive system. Moreover, proteins form the foundation of enzymes, necessary for biochemical reactions crucial for digestion. Additionally, proteins contribute to the synthesis of hormones, neurotransmitters, and transport molecules, underscoring their diverse and indispensable functions in maintaining overall health and bodily processes. Understanding Amino Acids Proteins, constructed from a complex array of amino acids, encompass 20+ identified variants, categorized into essential, non-essential, and conditionally essential types. While essential amino acids must be consumed in the diet due to the body's inability to produce them, non-essential amino acids are synthesized internally. Understanding individual amino acid requirements is important, accounting for factors such as impaired metabolic pathways, genetic predispositions, and overall health conditions, allows us to create nutritional strategies to optimize well-being and address specific needs effectively. The Power of balanced Protein Intake While animal proteins are commonly perceived as complete sources of protein, plant-based alternatives offer substantial nutritional advantages. Foods like lentils, lupini beans, broccoli, and kale not only provide notable protein content but also contribute additional essential nutrients to a balanced diet from vitamins and minerals to fiber. Functional practitioners should evaluate protein requirements considering individual factors such as activity level, body weight, metabolic health, recent illnesses or injuries, and dietary preferences, striving for an intake that is optimal without being excessive. By incorporating diverse plant protein sources into clients' nutritional plans, practitioners can promote overall health and wellness effectively. Important ReInvent Healthcare Links

| DNA to Diet: Crafting Personal Nutrition Plans with Joe Cohen of SelfDecode | 03 Apr 2024 | 00:58:06 | |
In this episode of ReInvent Healthcare, we dive into the world of personalized genetics with Joe Cohen, the founder and CEO of SelfDecode. SelfDecode empowers clients to understand their unique DNA and unlock its potential for optimizing personalized health and wellness. Join us as we explore the exciting world of genetic testing, learn how SelfDecode can help you take control of your health, and discuss the future of personalized medicine. Key Points: The Importance of Genetic Testing Genetic testing holds immense promise for revolutionizing healthcare. A personalized approach to precision health that includes genetic insights,could transform medicine from a reactive system to a proactive one. With the right tools and knowledge, genetic testing has the potential to empower clients to take charge of their health, optimize their well-being, and pave the way for a future of preventive and personalized medicine. Methodology of Polygenic Risk Scoring in Understanding Health Conditions Many diseases aren't caused by a single faulty gene, but rather a combination of smaller genetic variations. Polygenic risk scoring tackles this complexity by analyzing numerous genetic markers across your DNA. By considering these variations together, it creates a score that estimates your overall genetic susceptibility to a particular health condition. This approach provides a more nuanced picture than traditional genetic testing and can help identify clients at higher risk, allowing for earlier intervention, preventive measures, and personalized strategies. Analyzing Genes To Make Effective Health Recommendations Genetic testing offers a wealth of information, and translating it into actionable health advice requires validation. Environmental factors, lifestyle choices, and even interactions between different genes can significantly influence how genetic codes play out. To make effective recommendations, we have SelfDecode to validate these genetic predictions. Important ReInvent Healthcare Links
