Ep 067: The "Sober Curious" Movement and Foundational Health

Episode 67

Tuesday, October 28, 2025 • Duration 01:10:22

In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC sits down with Kristin Rowell, JD, FNTP, PHWC—former trial lawyer, marathon runner, and professional bodybuilder turned Functional Nutrition Coach, Energetic Healer, and Spiritual Advisor to executives, professionals, and other high-performing humans. Kristin is the founder of Energetically Efficient and co-owner of Discover Strength Nashville, where she helps clients align their physiology and frequency to live with power, clarity, and purpose.

Together, Jamie and Kristin take an unfiltered look at alcohol, health, and consciousness—from the cultural normalization of drinking to the biological, emotional, and spiritual toll it quietly takes. They explore:

How alcohol impacts each of the Foundations of Health—digestion, blood sugar regulation, nutrient density, sleep, stress, movement, and hydration..
Why your liver halts everything to process alcohol first—and what that means for fat metabolism, detoxification, and hormonal balance.
How alcohol damages gut integrity and microbiome diversity, disrupts circadian rhythm, and amplifies inflammation in the brain and body.
The truth about how alcohol interacts with stress chemistry, depletes key nutrients like B vitamins and zinc, and sabotages recovery and muscle repair.
The emotional and energetic dimension—how alcohol lowers vibration, clouds intuition, and distances us from spiritual clarity and self-trust.
Why the "Sober Curious Movement" isn't about restriction or perfection—it's about awareness, agency, and living more fully alive.

Spoiler alert: Both Jamie and Kristin have come to the same realization—alcohol no longer serves them. This isn't an episode about how to cure hangovers or find a cleaner cocktail. It's an invitation to step back, get curious, and truly see what alcohol might be doing to your body, your foundations of health, and your life.

If you've ever wondered what's on the other side of "normal drinking," or how to live with more energy, alignment, and clarity—this honest, science-backed, and spirit-filled conversation will meet you there

Ep 066: SIBO Symptoms and Solutions

Episode 66

Tuesday, October 21, 2025 • Duration 01:07:35

Struggling with bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, or "food baby" bloat after meals has become so common it's considered "normal." In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC, sits down with Dr. Arland Hill, DC, MPH, DACBN—Director of Clinical Education at Biotics Research and a 25-year leader in functional medicine—to demystify SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth). You'll learn what SIBO is, why it keeps relapsing, and how a root-cause, functional approach can calm symptoms and restore, not just gut health, but overall vitality, for the long haul.

They cover the classic SIBO symptoms (bloating, abdominal pain, gas, constipation/diarrhea), how gut inflammation fuels brain inflammation (the gut–brain axis), and why quick fixes—like "nuking" the microbiome or leaning on a low-FODMAP diet—often miss the mark. Dr. Hill explains the body's three antimicrobial digestive secretions—stomach acid, pancreatic enzymes, and bile—plus motility and stress regulation, and how a phased strategy (reduce overgrowth → rebuild defenses → replete what SIBO depleted) can break the relapse cycle. They also discuss targeted probiotics (including Saccharomyces boulardii), when botanicals or antibiotics like rifaximin enter the picture, and why "just eating real, nutrient-dense food" and how you eat (meal spacing, slow, mindful chewing) can be as powerful as what you eat.

Whether you've tried "everything" or you're just starting to connect the dots, this conversation gives you a practical roadmap to move beyond masking symptoms and start building foundations.

What you'll learn

SIBO 101: definition, symptoms, and why it's so common
The gut–brain connection: how stress and inflammation impact motility & mood
Why long-term low-FODMAP isn't a SIBO solution
The role of acid, enzymes, and bile in controlling overgrowth
Relapse prevention: phased protocols, motility support, and targeted probiotics
Real-food nutrition, meal timing, and simple lifestyle upgrades that help

Tuesday, October 14, 2025 • Duration 41:24

Many were feeling whiplash from the headlines about Tylenol, pregnancy, and health, so Episode 64 was born. Then, questions flooded in, prompting this follow-up episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, which covers the most common questions listeners asked. Join host Jamie Belz and fellow NTP Nolan Gleich in this foundations-first, bio-individuality-driven practitioner and parent advocate response to cut through the noise with practical, hopeful, and doable steps for real families.

Food-first options to support wellness: Plus sneaky ways to add organ meats to meals!

Fever guidance for moms & kids: "When is comfort care enough, and what are simple hydration/electrolyte strategies that actually help?"

Ep 064: Tylenol, Autism, and Bioindividuality

Episode 64

Tuesday, October 7, 2025 • Duration 55:28

Can something actually be "proven safe" for everyone or does that go against what we know to be true about bioindividuality?

In this empowering episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz sits down with Nolan Gleich, NTP, Certified Fertility Awareness Educator, and Digital Marketing Strategist at the Nutritional Therapy Association, to unpack the headlines linking Tylenol (acetaminophen) to autism and explore what true health freedom really means.

Together, Jamie and Nolan zoom out from fear-based headlines to the bigger picture: how chronic illness, toxic load, and bioindividuality shape health outcomes, and why foundational, root cause wellness is the future of healthcare rather than quick, Bandaid fixes that only mask the symptoms of deeper, underlying issues.

Inside this episode, you'll discover:

Why "proven safe" isn't a universal truth—and how bioindividuality challenges one-size-fits-all medicine
The role of epigenetics, toxicity, nutrient deficiencies, and gut health in chronic illness and autism risk
RFK's recent $50 million autism research initiative and what it could mean for families
Practical, foundation-first alternatives for pain and fever support in pregnancy and childhood (hydration, digestion optimization, nutrient-dense foods, rest, immune support)
How education empowers us to be confident and trustworthy advocates for our health

This conversation isn't about blame—it's about hope, empowerment, and solutions. Wherever your thoughts are regarding the Tylenol and autism topic, this episode will leave you inspired to trust your body's innate wisdom, learn more about the foundations of health, and embrace the freedom that comes with bioindividuality.

Tune in to learn, unlearn, and take back your power.

Ep 063: Liberating Generations from Childhood Obesity – with Rebecca Stewart (Liberty Wellness Podcast) and Guest Jamie Belz (Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast)

Episode 63

Tuesday, September 30, 2025 • Duration 58:58

What happens when we face the hard reality of childhood obesity with solutions-focused honesty, grace, and hope? In this episode, Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast host, Jamie Belz, jumps into the passenger seat and releases the reins as a guest on The Liberty Wellness Podcast, hosted by Rebecca Stewart.

Rebecca is a National Board-Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), a homeschool mama of two, and the founder of Liberty Wellness & Co.—a virtual practice supporting clients through complex chronic illnesses like Lyme disease, Hashimoto's, and autoimmune conditions. She's also the creator of the Liberty Wellness Homeschool High School Health Curriculum, giving families a solid foundation for health education at home. Her heart for parents, children, and future generations shines through every word.

After listening to Episode 35 of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Rebecca invited Jamie to be a guest on her platform for a real conversation to help parents and kids understand:

The biology behind childhood obesity - why it's not just "baby fat" and how early patterns set lifelong health trajectories.
Parental guilt, shame, and fear—how to forgive ourselves and look forward with positivity as we help heal our families.
The impact of sugar, dopamine hits, screen time, and nutrient-deficient foods on kids' developing bodies.
Why bio-individuality matters: every child is unique, and healing isn't one-size-fits-all.
Generational cycles of health decline, including the eye-opening research of Dr. Francis Pottenger and the warnings of Dr. Weston A. Price nearly a century ago.
How simple, doable changes—nutrient-dense meals, family modeling, stress reduction, and connection—can rewrite the story for our kids and grandkids.
The powerful reminder that it's never too late to shift course, heal, and create meaningful change, redemption, and hope for healthier generations.

Ep 062: Quick Tips From Your Blood Sugar Bestie

Episode 62

Saturday, September 27, 2025 • Duration 17:31

In Episode 61, we learned that blood sugar dysregulation is a compounding factor at the root of nearly every metabolic disease or condition. While the science behind that statement can get complicated, balancing blood sugar doesn't have to be. In this "Quick Tips" episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Ashley Lawrence, NTP—your "Blood Sugar Bestie"— returns to share her top five blood sugar tips you can start using today.

Ashley is the founder of Magic and Wellness and a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner passionate about helping women finally crack the code on their energy, mood, and hormones by addressing blood sugar first. Her approach blends science, strategy, and sparkle—making healthy habits not only doable but actually fun.

In this episode:

Protein-rich, savory breakfasts that stabilize energy, reduce cravings, and stop the 2:30 slump
Why you should avoid eating naked carbs—and how to pair carbs with protein, fat, or fiber for steady glucose
Simple movement after meals like squats and pushups during bathroom breaks or 15-minute power walks after meals
How stress and poor sleep drive insulin resistance, plus practical hacks to calm cortisol and get better rest
Why front-loading carbs earlier in the day improves sleep, energy, and overall metabolic health

They also get real about practical swaps—like leftovers for breakfast, smarter chip and chocolate choices, and even adding butter or flax to balance out carbs. Remember, it's not about perfection; it's about small, consistent upgrades that add up to lasting freedom.

If you've ever wondered how to fix fatigue, cravings, mood swings, or PCOS symptoms at their root, these simple steps are where to start for practical, real-life strategies to balance your blood sugar without the overwhelm.

Ep 061: PCOS Root Cause - It's Blood Sugar, Not Just Hormones

Episode 61

Tuesday, September 23, 2025 • Duration 24:47

Blood sugar impacts everything—your energy, your sleep, your hormones, your brain, your heart, your thyroid, EVERYTHING. Yet most of us only hear about it in the context of diabetes.

In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host, Jamie Belz, and fellow NTP, Ashley Lawrence, open the curtain on the real story behind why blood sugar is often the hidden root behind symptoms like PCOS, anxiety, insomnia, weight struggles, and even long-term risks like cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's.

Ashley—known as the "Blood Sugar Bestie"—shares her personal journey of misdiagnosis, failed quick fixes, and finally discovering that blood sugar balance changes everything. Ashley shares:

Her hopeful testimonial story and what she did to "lose her PCOS diagnosis."
Why PCOS is more than "just a hormone disorder"—and how insulin resistance drives much of the imbalance.
Why some researchers call Alzheimer's "type 3 diabetes," and what that really means.
How early warning signs like skin tags and darkened patches can show up years before a diagnosis.
The reality that blood sugar issues can simmer silently for a decade or more before being labeled diabetes.
Practical, joy-filled strategies: pairing carbs with protein, food + mood journaling, hydration hacks, and short-term CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) experiments to see what works for your bio-individual body.
CLEAN FATS make healthy hormones! (ALL natural fats are healthy - they need to be unadulterated and from clean sources.)

This episode isn't about restriction. It's about freedom—learning how simple, everyday choices restore balance, resilience, and joy.

Ep 060: Super Foods, Super Kids - Nutrition for Healthy Brains, Bodies, and Behavior

Episode 60

Tuesday, September 16, 2025 • Duration 44:04

Parents are asking a fair question: is what's on the school tray really food? In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz and guest Shari Gilford, NTP (Full Table Nutrition) open the lunchbox and get practical about raising healthier kids—at school and at home.

The conversation swings from frustrations to solutions. Listeners will hear why many "kids' foods" are hyper-processed, hyper-palatable, and nutrient-void—and how families can pivot to real, brain-fueling meals without perfectionism or overwhelm.

Shari Gilford is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner who helps children and families build nutrition habits for lifelong health. Through Full Table Nutrition, she educates and inspires families to enjoy fresh, whole foods and be nourished for life. Diagnosed with hereditary kidney disease at age 11, she understands how poor health can disrupt childhood—and why preventing obesity and type 2 diabetes (a leading cause of kidney disease) matters. Her mission is to help transform the health of an entire generation.

In this episode, expect:

Clear, compassionate guidance on sugar, dyes, and ultra-processed "food-like products," including why kids average ~17 teaspoons of added sugar/day, how that relates to focus, mood, and classroom behavior, and why protein-first breakfasts change the school day.
Practical lunchbox wins: muffin frittatas; meatball "muffins"; leftover taco meat with crunchy chips; tuna or salmon salad for omega-3 brain power; beef sticks; hard-boiled eggs; colorful produce that packs and keeps.
Picky-eater strategies that actually work: involve kids in choosing veggies (beet or grated carrot salads, jicama "dippers"), taste-training away from constant sweetness, and fun "compare & prepare" nights to find favorite veggie textures.
Smart swaps & step-downs: the sugar-cube visual (4 g = 1 cube), gradual transitions from sweetened to unsweetened peanut butter and yogurt, and moving from juice to whole fruit.
A simple at-home experiment kids love: three days of protein-strong breakfasts vs. one high-sugar morning—then track energy, mood, focus, and "battery level."

Ep 059: Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Student Roundtable

Episode 59

Tuesday, September 9, 2025 • Duration 01:10:14

You'll often hear host Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC say that the Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) program changed her life. In this fun, personal, and insightful roundtable episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Jamie sits down with three current NTP students to share how the program is already transforming their health, their families, and their futures.

Just over three months into their studies with the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA), these students are proving how powerful it is to learn the Foundations of Health—digestion, nutrient-dense diet, blood sugar regulation, sleep, stress, movement, and hydration. No band-aid fixes here—this is about getting to the root cause of health and disease, and honoring the truth of bio-individuality: there is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellness.

Discover how nutrition and lifestyle foundations are changing lives in real time:

Michlind shares her passion for filling the nutrition gap in youth who have aged out of foster care, parents reuniting with their children, and anti-human-trafficking recovery programs.
Katie, a culinary pro living with Crohn's disease, explains how bio-individual nutrition transformed her gut health and daily life.
Alyson opens up about her journey from residential eating disorder treatment to vibrant health through nutrient-dense, whole foods and the power of bio-individuality.

Together, they open up about:

The sleep stages and circadian rhythm hacks that blew their minds.
Why digestion truly is the cornerstone of health—and how even chewing changes everything.
The myths of the low-fat movement, the truth about fats and gallbladder health, and how diet culture has failed us.
Simple, practical wins you can try today—like apple cider vinegar before meals, soaking and sprouting grains, or turning off screens before bed.
What it really means to be your own health advocate when mainstream solutions fall flat.

This episode is packed with nutrition tips, digestion insights, and inspiring stories of transformation. If you've ever thought, "It's all too much—where do I start?" this conversation will offer a variety of starting points as well as some of the science backing the foundational teachings of the NTA.
