| 169: The Immunity Code Diet and why dairy isn't the enemy with Joel Greene | 08 Aug 2024 | 00:56:21 | |
Hi friends! I have a new podcast episode live and I’m so excited for you to hear this one. Joel Greene is today’s guest, and I felt like I could have talked to him for hours. Here’s what we talk about in today's episode: - Nutritionl for metabolism and reducing inflammation - How to navigate conflicting health info - Whey and dairy and how they can actually be superfoods - How GMOs and industrial seed oils affect gut health and inflammatory fat cells and so.much.more. 169: The Immunity Code Diet and why dairy isn't the enemy with Joel GreeneJoel Greene is the author of The Way: Immunity Code Diet and The Immunity Code, the very first gut-health protocol teacher, and the original biohacker that utilizes the family of insulin hormones and the immune system to create lasting health. In 2007, Joel published the very first article to the public on the microbiome and the relationship to weight loss, creating a name for himself in the wellness space. By 2009, he had created the first nutrition system based on gut health to help people lose weight and feel better, called the VEEP Nutrition System, and it was used by large cities, like Phoenix and Houston, as well as large corporations, like Technicolor and a major hospital chain. This proprietary system was also featured on Dr. Phil. By 2013, before any present day gut health gurus existed, he had over 16,000 research outcomes targeting the microbiome for health and weight. Joel’s work has also been featured in several well known media outlets like Muscle and Fitness, CBS online, 24 Hour Fitness Digital Magazine, among others. In late 2019, he published The Immunity Code, widely regarded as one of the most influential health books of this decade. The book launched several biohacking practices trending in the mainstream health and biohacking narrative today, like mouth taping, targeting Akkermansia for gut health, HMO’s, no warm up sprints, microdosing exercise, the use of supplements like berberine and apigenin, and many other biohacks. Joel has been featured on top podcasts like Ben Greenfield, Mark Bell Power Project, the Minimalists and others, for his deep inquiries and unique discoveries known for optimizing health. Joel’s new book, The Way: The Immunity Code Diet, introduces an entirely new framework diet to achieve real and lasting health, and finally puts an end to the dietary confusion of this age. About The Way: The Immunity Code Book: The Way is the sequel to the influential biohacking book, The Immunity Code, highlighting a framework for a simple diet that optimizes the immune system and insulin family of hormones to achieve lasting health. The Way creates clarity around what, when, and how to eat, resulting in reduced inflammation, weight loss, and a longer life span. The diet comprises 48-hour cycles of eating that mimic natural eating plans—the first 24 hours are for foraging, and the second 24 hours are for fasting, and high protein/fats, as well as taking into account seasons, scarcity, social interaction, sleep, and balance. Joel’s mission with The Way—to put an end to dietary confusion and restrictive food-exclusionist approaches, and instead re-introduce simplicity and dietary diversity.

| 166: The power of the microbiome with Seed co-founder, Ara Katz | 18 Jul 2024 | 00:42:37 | |
I’m so excited to be chatting with Seed Co-founder Ara Katz today. Here’s what we discuss: - The microbiome and how we can best support it - The creation of Seed - The importance of the vaginal microbiome and supporting this delicate ecosystem — we’re going to hear more and more about this - Her tips for being Healthy in Real Life and so much more. 166: The power of the microbiome with Seed co-founder, Ara KatzHere’s more about Ara and her background: You might already be familiar with Seed from their flagship product, DS-01®, which has garnered mass attention and the title of the #1 selling probiotic, gaining attention from celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Karlie Kloss, and Cameron Diaz. But the story behind Seed and Ara herself extends far beyond their acclaimed product. Ara is a dynamic three-time founder (recently named to CNBC’s inaugural Changemakers list) who has built, advised, and invested in some of the most notable consumer brands across consumer, health, and tech. Her path to science began not in a lab but with personal challenges –– 20 years ago, her mom’s pancreatic cancer diagnosis ignited her passion for health and science. Later, Ara was introduced to the microbiome by way of a miscarriage, struggles with breastfeeding, and the realization of how little science informed the products she turned to. It was this journey that led her to found Seed Health. Seed has seen 800+% revenue growth in the last 3 years, but it isn’t just a commercial success story; it’s the culmination of Ara’s lifelong passion for technology, storytelling, and design, all harnessed to leverage science for humanity's benefit. In addition to her role as CEO, Ara oversees the company’s environmental research under SeedLabs, and co-directs LUCA Biologics, the company’s venture targeting the vaginal microbiome for the future of women’s health. Now, Ara is expanding Seed’s impact beyond the gut, with its first innovation targeting the vaginal microbiome –– a watershed moment for women’s health.

| 176: How to fix your sleep and transform your health with Dr. Peter Martone | 12 Dec 2024 | 00:39:49 | |
Sharing a new podcast episode with Dr. Peter Martone about sleep, how sleep posture affects your health, and tips you can implement right now. We talk about: - How sleep posture impacts your health - The ideal sleep posture - Keys to getting a great night’s sleep and so.much.more. 176: How to fix your sleep and transform your health with Dr. Peter Martone Here’s more about Dr. Martone and his background:Dr. Peter Martone is an educator and patient care practitioner who has been focused on improving patient’s biomechanics for over 23 years during his private practice as a chiropractor. Dr. Martone always believed that the structure of your spine effects the function of the central nervous system, and this principle is the cornerstone of his practice. Dr. Martone’s core belief is that the central nervous system controls every function in the human body and in order to be able to express true health you have to keep your nervous system healthy. When your spine falls out of alignment due to poor spinal mechanics, it interferes with the proper function of the nervous system thus throwing the body out of balance. Peter’s mission is to help as many people as possible achieve optimal health function and performance so they can reach their full potential in life. During his 23 years of practice, Dr. Martone found it harder and harder to keep his patients aligned due to the stress of the modern-day lifestyle on their posture. His patients were coming in with the same problems which inspired him to come up with an innovative solution to help correct patients spines while they sleep. He worked with designers and engineers to create the Neck Nest, his newest product that helps correct patients spines while they sleep. Dr. Martone’s revolutionary concepts are designed to help restore proper biomechanics of the spine by adopting a neutral sleeping position, helping you sleep better, live longer and be healthier. His techniques have been featured on CBS, NBC, Fox News, Dave Asprey’s Upgraded Conference, and over 50 podcasts as he travels the world teaching people how to regain their health by mastering the art of sleeping. Check out Neck Nest here (I can’t wait to try this) and connect with Dr. Martone on Instagram. Take your sleep avatar test here.

| 132: Tongue posture and nasal breathing with Ashley Palin, The Tongue Therapist | 27 Apr 2023 | 00:35:00 | |
Hi friends! How are you?? I have a new podcast episode up today with an important topic: nasal breathing and tongue posture. This is a world that I stumbled upon accidentally a couple of years ago, when I was wondering why tongue posture improves facial posture. I went down a rabbit hole and started to learn about how tongue posture impacts our facial development, why it’s important to breathe through our nose, and how our tongue posture and breathing habits can affect so many systems in the body. This information is starting to become more well-known, and I’m so thankful for experts like Ashley Palin sharing their knowledge on this subject. I love following her Instagram and have learned a lot from her, so I was thrilled when she said she’d join me on the podcast. 132: Tongue posture and nasal breathing with Ashley Palin, The Tongue TherapistHere’s what we talk about in today’s episode: - Mouth breathing! Why should we pay attention to nasal breathing? Why is it important? - Ideal tongue posture - what does it look like? - Mouth taping. Should we do it? What about if we have a deviated septum? - Do you think it's worth getting deviated septums, tongue ties, and lip ties corrected as adults? - How do we model good tongue posture for our kids and do you think it's worth seeking out help when they're young? and so.much.more. Here’s a bit more about Ashley: Ashley is a registered dental hygienist who, after discovering her own issues with mouth breathing and oral-ties, pivoted to become a myofunctional therapist and help others with the same issues. She’s done additional trainings through The Buteyko Clinic, MyoMethod, Tongue-Tied Academy and more. She helps people to breathe, sleep, and feel better by correcting their oral function, tongue posture, and breathing habits.

| 131: 5 things to support healthy weight loss (that have nothing to do with calories or macros) | 12 Apr 2023 | 00:25:57 | |
Hi friends! I’ve got a new podcast episode up for ya. For today’s post, I wanted to talk about a few weight loss strategies that have nothing to do with calories or macros. I think it’s so common to hear, “calories in vs. calories out” but there are so many other strategies and things to consider that can impact our goals. Disclaimer: this is not medical advice and not intended to treat, prevent, cure, or diagnose any medical conditions. Talk to a doctor or your practitioner for individual concerns.
Also, this is my friendly personal trainer reminder to NOT focus on weight as much as body composition. Focus on the variables you can’t SEE: how do you feel? Is your schedule realistic for you? Is this something you can maintain? What’s your performance and energy like? Immune system function? Hormone function? These are all indicators of a happy body that a scale is unable to measure. 131: 5 things to support healthy weight loss (that have nothing to do with calories or macros) Here’s what I talk about in this episode:- Why the topic of weight loss can be taboo, finding your body’s set point, and why body composition is more important than weight - 5 things to support your healthy weight loss goals (and health in general) - How to set up your plate - Adding more daily steps - How alcohol affects weight loss (or weight loss resistance) and so much more! The digestive enzymes I love are from Sakara (they are the probiotics; use XOGINAH) and Now Foods (use FITNESSISTA) More resources from this episode:I’ve been loving Athletic Greens!

| 127: Cultivating a winning mindset with Charles D'Angelo | 02 Mar 2023 | 00:55:28 | |
Today I’m excited to have author and celebrity weight-loss coach Charles D’Angelo on the show! Definitely take a listen to this one and let me know about your biggest takeaways on Instagram. <3
Here’s what we talk about: - Mindset: how can you cultivate a positive mindset, especially when you feel defeated - His mindset tips for achieving health and fitness goals - Any resources that he loves and would recommend (books, podcasts, websites, etc)
Here’s more about Charles D’Angelo: At 16, Charles was 360lbs, bullied, eating lunch alone, and unhappy. Following a health scare, he took his life into his own hands and turned the very thing that he was bullied about into his own empire. He lost 160lbs, went to college, and created a life for himself. During his own weight loss journey, Charles dug deep, figuring out why he chose to find solace in food and make himself a victim, rather than live life with the hand that he’d been dealt. Learning to take the emotion out of food pushed Charles into a new way of living. Connect with Charles on his website and check out his books here.
