"Nutrition is feeding your skin from the inside out, no question. And I, again, I have practiced this lifestyle for the bulk of my career.

| What's In My Travel Bag: How to Stay Nourished and Balanced When You Travel | 18 Oct 2022 | 00:11:24 | |
I'm on the road in New York City for this week's episode of The Girlfriend Doctor to talk about how to stay healthy and balanced when traveling, no matter what your itinerary is. My first tip is to always travel with a water bottle to stay hydrated. It has to be emptied of course before getting on the plane, but once you've landed, it becomes a lifeline to eliminate toxins and keep bowels regulated. I always take along my Mighty Maca Plus to support the adrenals, detoxification and alkalinization. Plus, I have my Keto Green Shake on hand for some good nutrition if I'm stuck in an airport. For sleep, I use Night-Zzz for a nourishing night of rest, and Balance cream to moisturize and keep hormones balanced. I have many more tips to share with you, so please listen to the podcast! But before I go, I want to emphasize that the most important thing to do when traveling is to prioritize yourself. That includes nourishing yourself, being kind to yourself and forgiving yourself when you go off plan. Happy travels!
KEY TAKEAWAYS [2:38] The importance of hydration while traveling [3:06] Mighty Maca benefits [4:24] How to get good sleep while traveling [6:45] What's in Dr. Anna's Wonder Woman pack [8:26] The importance of collagen while traveling [10:27] Being kind to yourself while traveling

| The Miracle of Algae: The Future of Fast Food And Reversing the Aging Process With Catharine Arnston | 11 Oct 2022 | 00:45:13 | |
On this episode of The Girlfriend Doctor, I look at why algae is so important in your diet, and acts as a superfood. Joining me today is Catharine Arnston, the founder and Chief Scientific Officer of ENERGYbits. She is an expert in algae for wellness in nutrition, beauty, biohacking, mitochondria, and longevity. Algae was actually the first life on earth 4 billion years ago and is now known to be the most nutrient-dense food in the world. Two forms of algae in particular are considered superfoods -- spirulina and chlorella. You can take these in a dried pill form but they must be raw algae, dried at low heat for the nutrients to survive. They offer a multitude of benefits -- your hunger will be cut, your energy will be increased and your brain fog will go away. They contain zero carbs, and contain the critical antioxidants that can stop free radical damage in your mitochondria, promoting anti-aging. Spirulina and chlorella work harmoniously together. Spirulina works in the morning for energizing, appetite control and mental focus, and chlorella works to cleanse, detox, repair and restore during sleep.
KEY TAKEAWAYS [4:15] How Catherine's sister's breast cancer brought about exploring algae [5:15] Why algae is the most nutrient-dense food in the world [28:42] Why an alkaline diet is so important and how it can fight cancer [34:38] The role of mitochondria in the body and free radicals [35:20] The four most important antioxidants in your body [37:09] How to reverse the aging process with algae

MEMORABLE QUOTES "When I started the company, it was to really make a difference in the world and people's health. We chose spirulina and chlorella because they are the two nutrient-dense algaes that are around and available and have been grown for 50 years." "One tablet has the same nutrition as an entire plate of vegetables, except you didn't have to carry it home from the grocery store, clean, cook, and eat it. It's instant." "It's the future of fast food because if you can swallow water, you can take five or ten of these spirulina tablets in the morning. Your hunger will be cut, your energy will be increased, your brain fog will go away. It's ketogenic, zero carbs. It's the answer to everything." "All the Asian countries, particularly Japan, they don't leave their house without taking chlorella, algae, probably spirulina too. And they're world recognized for having the best longevity, lowest cancer rates, lowest obesity rates, and great skin and hair." "The average adult in America now has 800 toxins in their body. But even if you lived in a bubble, your body constantly is regenerating its cells. We have 30 trillion cells and dead cells are toxic. They clog up your lymphatic system."

| Clean Skin From Within: Balancing Your Hormones to Maintain Your Healthy Glow with Dr. Trevor Cates | 04 Oct 2022 | 00:40:40 | |
On this episode of The Girlfriend Doctor, Dr. Trevor Cates joins me to talk about hormones and nutrition. Dr. Cates is the author of the USA Today bestselling book Clean Skin From Within and the founder of The Spa Dr. natural skincare line. In order to obtain hormonal balance, we should look at many factors, including diet and seasonal changes. Our needs change with fall, winter, spring and summer and changing up your diet is important to get the freshest food with the most nutrients. Eating the same diet every day is not optimal. So if you're used to eating the same chicken salad every single day, try replacing it with something seasonal. Even adult acne can be traced back to our gut health and metabolism because there is a gut-skin connection. Using the right skincare products without harmful chemicals is essential because those chemicals can pass through into our bodies. We get a healthy glow when your hormones are balanced. Dr. Cates suggests eating a little more fiber, a little less sugar, and trying to find ways to reduce your stress and have a more positive mindset. Look in the mirror and love what you see as much as you can!
KEY TAKEAWAYS [4:41] Why Dr. Cates wrote her 2 books [8:11] Why it's important to change eating habits with the seasons [11:29] Adult acne in perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause [15:05] How we can support ideal digestion and gut health [15:43] Our gut-skin connection [18:28] What to look for when choosing a skincare line [19:46] Endocrine-disrupting chemicals [25:21] Testing of skincare products and regulation [31:26] The 3 key beauty tips [33:07] Where to buy Dr. Cates' new book, The Natural Beauty Reset

MEMORABLE QUOTES "Our needs change with each season and so should our approach. So with my patients, I change things up with their food movement, mindset and skincare." "For most people, there are changes in season. And with that change in the sun, that changes the way our food grows, it changes our sleep patterns, it changes our skin, it changes our mood, it changes our hormones." "What a lot of people don't realize is the gut skin connection. Our skin has a group of microorganisms that live on it and protect it. And when our skin microbiome gets out of balance, then that's what happens with acne breakouts." "How can you optimize your health? A lot of it has to do with the food, your mindset and your skincare."

| The Secret to Maintaining Your Best Self with Martin Silva | 27 Sep 2022 | 00:41:02 | |
On this week's episode of The Girlfriend Doctor, I talk with Martin Silva, personal trainer, competitive natural bodybuilder and online transformation coach. When it comes to maintaining weight loss or healthy living habits, many of us get stuck. We might attain a goal but find it hard to maintain that result over time. One of the keys is not changing more than two things at a time, and not going from zero to 100 when setting goals. When you make one or two small goals at a time and stay consistent with those, then the chance to get overwhelmed or fall back on bad habits is minimalized. It's also important to add instead of restrict when setting goals. For example, in nutrition, add more protein or whole foods to your diet rather than restricting other foods. Eating more protein blunts your appetite, and then you can start replacing sugars and processed foods naturally. Add a reasonable exercise component that's a little different to mix up what you've always done. It always comes down to the fundamentals. Be sure that sleep is a priority and devices are not near you when you sleep. Keep a food diary to track your food intake. Looking at the whole process of building muscle, eating more protein, making healthier choices and getting good sleep will have a good effect on the metabolism and help you reach your goals and sustain that optimal health over time. And remember to practice self-compassion and always remind yourself that you don't have to be perfect.
KEY TAKEAWAYS [9:48] The effect of eating more protein [10:25] The importance of switching up your training and exercise [17:06] How to deal with setbacks [17:59] The importance of self-compassion [21:33] Why environment is important [23:03] Binge eating and binge drinking [29:04] Benefits of Magnesium L-Threonate [31:26] Beef organ supplements [33:02] Using creatine supplements

MEMORABLE QUOTES "The worst program in the world done consistently is going to get better results than a world-class coaching program like mine done inconsistently." "When you're aware and you actually shine a light on certain calories and certain foods, you naturally start eating less. This has been proven in research." "It's the whole process of actually building muscle, eating more protein, making healthier choices and having good sleep that has a good effect on the metabolism." "Taking ownership for your actions is key." "I always say to my clients, your relationship with food really says more about your relationship with yourself than it does anything else." "It's substitution versus deprivation. It is always finding something to replace or to add versus subtract. Because then we feel deprived and for whatever reason, we don't like that."

| The Benefits of Eating Organ Meat with James Barry | 20 Sep 2022 | 00:36:32 | |
On this week's episode of The Girlfriend Doctor, I talk with James Barry, a private chef who's been in the culinary field for nearly two decades and believes in the benefits of eating organ meat, otherwise known as offal. Our ancestors ate parts of animals that gave them lots of nutrient-dense food. The foods we eat today are not as nutrient-dense as the food our grandparents ate, so the majority of Americans are nutrient deficient, but not calorie deficient. 72% of men and 63% of women are obese or overweight in the US because they're eating a lot of food, but that food is low in nutrients. Barry believes that organ meats can really help people to get the nutrients they need. He calls them Mother Nature's multivitamins and considers animal organs some of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. He cites beef liver as being one of the healthiest foods you can eat, chock full of vitamins and minerals. Other animal organs like hearts and tongue are also high in nutrients. Barry has created a freeze-dried seasoning made from a variety of animal organs called Pluck. He also addresses how we can buy organs that are available to us and consume them in microdoses. The most important thing we can do for a healthy diet is eat foods that are ingredients, instead of those that have ingredients.
KEY TAKEAWAYS [4:24] Why our ancestors ate more nutrient-dense foods [7:20] Why food today is not as nutrient-dense and link to obesity [18:51] James Barry product called Pluck containing freeze-dried organs [20:08] How to use Pluck on foods [20:45] How to microdose beef liver [22:49] How to eat chicken hearts [26:14] How to eat beef tongue [30:55] More ideas on how to flavor foods with Pluck

MEMORABLE QUOTES "Every trend kind of changes its name, rebrands. You had vegan back in the day and now it's called plant-based. You can change everything you want, but the one to me that does not die is we have to eat real foods." "We have to eat foods that are an ingredient, not that have ingredients. And that's the very important distinction." "I really look at organs as mother nature's multivitamin. What I love about organ meats is that they are one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet." "I have a product called Pluck, it's an organ-based seasoning. I took powdered liver, heart, kidney, spleen, and pancreas. I took five organs and it's the same freeze-dried powdered stuff."

| Hormone Replenishment with Dr. Sahar Swidan | 13 Sep 2022 | 00:52:07 | |
On this week's episode of The Girlfriend Doctor, I talk with Dr. Sahar Swidan about the pros and cons of bioidentical hormone replenishment. Dr. Swidan is president and CEO of NeuroPharm and former CEO of Pharmacy Solutions. She is board-certified and an advanced fellow in anti-aging and regenerative therapies. Hormones can play a part in so many health issues throughout our lives, including neurological ones. For example, why do women get migraines and asthma attacks during menstruation? It's all related to hormonal imbalances in the body. Hormone replacement or replenishment can often go by many different terms, like body identical, bioidentical, natural, synthetic, and these terms can be confusing. Body identical and bioidentical mean what your body makes, and what we are replenishing. Women should make sure that whatever they're being given is FDA approved, and that they're working with reputable compounding pharmacies that don't use solvents or chemicals. Diet is also important when embarking on a hormone replenishment program, with a keto green diet being optimal. And B vitamins are depleted in hormone replacement therapy, so it's important to supplement that loss. Not everyone is a good candidate for hormone replacement, so check with your doctor on hormone replacement levels to come up with a tailored plan.
KEY TAKEAWAYS [8:35] The different names for hormones and terms used in hormone replacement therapy [9:21] The role of estrogens in the body [13:00] The role of cortisol in the body [30:05] How diet plays a role in hormone replenishment [30:33] What vitamins need to be supplemented in hormone replacement [31:58] The role of estrogen in the body [41:14] Hormones and the vagina

MEMORABLE QUOTES "You have to know what the entire body is doing, and not just what your testes are doing or what your ovaries are doing." "Body identical and bioidentical basically means what your body makes and what we are replenishing." "Every woman is very different and every man's hormonal replacement journey is very different." "When our progesterone drops, memory loss and mood swings and brain fog increase and become symptoms of low progesterone."

| The Importance of a Keto Green Diet with Kristina Hess | 06 Sep 2022 | 00:43:26 | |
On this week's episode of The Girlfriend Doctor, I had a conversation with Kristina Hess, a premier health coach and licensed clinical nutritionist who's passionate about a ketogenic approach to treat inflammation and restore metabolic health. She's also the host and founder of Keto Symposium, the first low-carb conference in New York City. Adapting a ketogenic lifestyle can prevent diabetes, heart disease, cancer, menopausal symptoms, brain fog and mood swings. It can also help with weight loss and autoimmune disorders. Having a keto green diet is mandatory for brain health and cognitive function. A keto green diet promotes a metabolic state where you're burning fat preferentially over sugar. Eating a lot of protein is key, along with lots of greens and other vegetables. Once you reach a state of ketosis, you no longer experience hunger cravings for carbs and sugar. It's also important to drink lots of water between meals and keep your greens intake high as well.
KEY TAKEAWAYS [3:22] Bio-individuality and the importance of keto for menopause [6:39] Auto-immunity and the keto diet [8:13] How to handle carb cravings [9:21] Details about upcoming low-carb conference in New York City [22:34] How to build muscle with a keto diet [26:10] The importance of staying hydrated [41:43] How the keto diet can reverse diabetes

MEMORABLE QUOTES
"It's really important every morning to not just greet the day, but to visualize yourself in that optimized, ideal body that's super healthy and then give gratitude for what is working, as opposed to focusing on all the things that we are still seeking to improve."
"80% of making lifestyle changes is really mindset, but 20% is having a really good strategy that works for you in your bio-individuality."
"When we reach a goal, let's set another goal and let's set another goal. We have an endless opportunity in our lives to really shine and it's all about progress, not perfection. Progress is what gives us juice in life."
"The time to hydrate is in between meals, typically two hours after you've eaten. Stop 20 minutes before you eat and drink no more than four to six ounces with your meal."

| The Benefits of Intermittent Fasting with Gin Stephens | 30 Aug 2022 | 00:48:29 | |
On this week's episode of The Girlfriend Doctor, I had a conversation with Gin Stephens, a former elementary school teacher who turned to fasting as a way to lose weight after becoming obese. She is the author of the New York Times bestseller, Fast Feast Repeat as well as Cleanish and other books. Fasting is not about what you eat, but when you eat. It's become a healthy way to lose unwanted pounds and maintain optimal weight and health. Generally, intermittent fasting means not eating for 16 hours between dinner and breakfast, and then eating regularly for those other 8 hours. The hours may vary per person. When you first take on intermittent fasting, you have to allow your body to get "fat-adapted" and then you can tailor your fasting so it's easy. It's all about learning to listen to the body and what rhythm feels good, and practice "intuitive eating." Intermittent fasting will not cause a lot of weight loss fast, in fact, in most cases, not for the first 28 days. But from that point forward, you can expect to see steady weight loss and better overall energy and health.
KEY TAKEAWAYS [4:57] Gin's story of obesity [12:24] Going through the adaptation period [14:24] Figuring out how many fasting hours work for your body [29:26] How fasting helps to identify intolerant foods [37:10] Choosing what to eat while fasting
HOW TO CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST https:// https://www.ginstephens.com/ https://www.intermittentfastingstories.com/ https://www.ginstephens.com/all-blog-posts/
MEMORABLE QUOTES "We can learn to tune into our hunger and satiety signals. We can be intuitive eaters. The weight will just fall off."
"I'm just teaching about intermittent fasting because that's what teachers do. I'm not a historian, but I can teach history. I'm not a mathematician, but I can teach math. I'm not a doctor or medical professional, but I can learn the information, do the research and then bring it to you."
"During the adaptation period when your body is learning to be metabolically flexible, you have to kind of push through some of the harder feelings because your body is not fat-adapted when you begin. So it doesn't know how to tap into your fat stores for fuel."
"I've gotten really great at listening to my body and knowing when I need to eat a little more or when I've had enough. So I like to eat when I eat, I really like to eat."

| Healing From the Inside Out: A Holistic Approach to Breast Implant Health with Dr. Robert Whitfield | 23 Aug 2022 | 00:44:46 | |
On this week's episode of the Girlfriend Doctor Show, I had a conversation with Dr. Robert Whitfield, a world-renowned cosmetic surgeon and breast implant illness expert. Dr. Whitfield takes a holistic approach to breast implant illness that includes genetic testing, mold toxicity, and hormone balancing to help patients heal from the inside out. In this episode, Dr. Whitfield talks about how many women with breast implants come to him with common symptoms including brain fog, mold exposure, and memory loss. Additionally, they can suffer from increased anxiety, depression, cognitive decline, respiratory issues, dry eyes, sinusitis, gut dysfunction, swelling, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, recurring UTIs, bacterial vaginosis, and muscle and joint pain. These symptoms can also align with mold toxicity or Lyme disease Breast implant illness may also be connected to genetic pathway problems, dietary issues, hormonal imbalance and endocrine dysfunction, so it's important to get comprehensive testing done. Dr. Whitfield recommends DNA testing to detect different types of bacteria and fungus that might be causing a breast implant infection. And he says that anyone who has implants from 1996 or older should definitely get tested because there is probably some form of rupture that has occurred. After having breast implants removed, it's also critical to balance your hormones and maintain a good diet and a positive attitude. Remember -- no one is a greater advocate for your health than you are.

MEMORABLE QUOTES "What breast implant illness really is to me is out-of-control inflammation. The inflammation that drives breast implant illness drives a lot of the symptomology. Now I have genetic testing that reveals defects in their immune pathways." "I encourage clients, if you're super sick, if you're super symptomatic, an explant will be a step to help you, but it will not be the only step that solves the problem because it's usually a multi-factorial problem."

At this stage in your life, you can really take a step back and take inventory of all your experiences, so that you can move into a new relationship free of your own destructive habits. All the romantic notions of love that our culture pushes on us, tend to be counterproductive. Bela Bela Gandhi will teach you not to chase the butterflies and instant chemistry; what you really want is a slow burn, enjoy really getting to know someone, dating is an adventure!

[10:38] "Chemistry can come later in the game, it doesn't have to be there right away, in fact, Ladies!, if you feel chemistry with someone right, right right away most likely it's because this person reminds you of an ex."

| Marc David and the Psychology of Eating | 02 Aug 2022 | 00:53:53 | |
In this week's episode I had an enlightening conversation with Marc David from the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. Marc shares his insight into your relationship with the experience of eating. Willpower is not the only factor contributing to failed dieting, there is a biological and psychological influence to your eating behaviors and the first step to breaking free from that is awareness! Marc encourages you to recognize where your bad eating habits started and points out how common it is that these habits start in adolescence. Sometimes, the associations you make when you are a child end up hijacking your impulses as you experience stress. If you are always rushing through dinner and never pausing to enjoy your food you subconsciously will crave more and more based off these associations of food being an escape from everything that is stressful in your life.. Marc explains that digestion begins in the brain, it is the anticipation, the full experience from thought, to cooking, to sitting down to enjoy the food that satisfies a craving; so without that, you live in perpetual longing. Emotional eating is rooted in dissatisfaction, so really giving yourself the time to experience the pleasure of eating can really change your relationship with food. Ultimately, creating passion, outside of food, in your day to day life will alleviate the temptation of emotional eating.
Key Takeaways: [3:10] Knowing the difference between Biological or a Psychological problem [4:30] Which archetype within you is steering you towards instant gratification? [5:57] The rebel in us needs a cause, find a good place to put that energy [9:45] How do I make better choices when I am bored: Invite awareness and find an alternative [15:19] Cortisol will desensitize you to pleasure [21:40] Sitting down and experiencing the pleasure of eating [27:27] Digestion begins in the mind [33:25] Tackling emotional eating by creating more passion in your life [35:02] Our relationship with food connects us to our lineage [42:30] Transitioning into Menopause: What are you letting go of and what are you embracing into the future
Resources: https://psychologyofeating.com/ https://www.youtube.com/c/Psychologyofeating
Memorable Quotes: " If you can just notice, When did it first start for me? There is a good chance That that's the young person that we are invoking often times when we are making food choices that go against our own wishes." [7:22]
"In that state of anxiety, my brain takes over, my primitive physiology takes over and I want to seek pleasure. I want to be out of pain and we need something to take us out of pain in the moment and I think what happens is the mind instinctively goes to food." [13:46]

The panel of speakers I was a part of consisted of high-caliber people and the talk revolved mainly around food supply and how the quality of our food has been gradually declining. Terri Cochran, a past guest here on the Girlfriend Doctor, emphasized how not only is the food quality decreasing, but the way in which we manage and waste it is slowly leading our manmade emissions here in our home, earth. Overall, the discussion was very fun but also essential because we need to become more aware of our actions. 70% of food is actually wasted in the home, and though it may only seem like a waste of money, wasting food is also a huge contributor to climate change. We need to come together and find solutions to the problems humanity is facing, and it starts with discussions like these. Tune in to find out how we can overcome these global issues!

Once again, we are informed that the food we eat can be the main cause for our health problems. Many people talk about how refined sugars and carbs are the main causes for inflammation in the body and how it can be detrimental to our health.

"In acne in particular, and of course for hormone health, in general, we know that a high glycemic diet is not benefitting us and it's really important to maintain a low glycemic diet; I would say that's one of the most important things we can do for our skin." "The research is really showing that what's going on in our gut can manifest into our skin, and so people with acne or other inflammatory skin conditions tend to have gut dysbiosis." "The research now all points to, for the last twenty years, is pointing to inflammation as really the spark that lights your acne on fire, so to speak." "So that's why focusing on gut health, repairing the gut, repairing leaky gut, making sure you have a good balance of bacteria in there that's going to support reducing inflammation in the body, that's going to be key to clearing acne." "Definitely more plants. We want to consume more fiber; that's going to help keep our blood sugar stable. We want a variety of different fruits and vegetables, and depending on where you are with your digestion, you might want to tread really slowly." "Starting your day with an arugula salad is going to help your body better digest whatever comes after it." | |||

| Exploring Kenetik, the Ketone Drink that's Changing the Way We See Keto with Devon Price and Peter Bayne | 03 Jun 2022 | 00:44:51 | |
On this week's episode of the Girlfriend Doctor Show, we had a conversation with the founders of Kenetik, Devon Price and Peter Bayne. On their journey of finding a sustainable diet and exercise regime, they tried the keto diet and found that ketones were the key to sustainable and healthy energy levels and mental clarity. But as we know, keto foods don't always taste the best so Devon and Peter decided to take matters into their own hands and produce this effective and tasty ketone drink! In this talk, we discuss the many benefits that come from ketones and how they can help with curbing the appetite, intermittent fasting, and how ketones can prevent and possibly reverse Alzheimer's and other serious neurological diseases and illnesses. Kenetik has now been tested by many groups of people and organizations and many have seen positive results in their daily routine, especially in their fitness regime. In this vast culture of consumerism, we consume things that are not healthy at all and actually cause harm to our bodies so a drink like Kenetik that is sugar-free, doesn't break fast, enhances our energy levels, as well as balances out our mood receptors, is a home run for me. I for one love the drink, and now, viewers of the Girlfriend Doctor can get 50% off their first purchase with the code, DRANNA50 at drinkkenetik.com! Tune in to find out more about this ketone drink that changes the way we see keto! KEY TAKEAWAYS (with timestamps):

| Reversing Autoimmune Diseases Through Restorative Wellness with Margaret Floyd Barry | 31 May 2022 | 00:40:45 | |
On this week's episode of The Girlfriend Doctor Show, we had a very special conversation with Dr. Margaret Floyd Barry. Margaret is a functional nutritionist, author, and co-owner of Restorative Wellness Solutions. But more than that, she is a master communicator, and she details how she got started on her journey in the world of functional nutrition. As someone who has studied hormonal health for quite some time, she shares her story of how she got introduced to the world of functional medicine through battling her own autoimmune disease when she was in her twenties and then again in her diagnosis during her 2nd pregnancy. Margaret emphasizes that diversity always rules, so there's not going to be a one-size-fits-all as far as cures for autoimmune diseases goes. Everybody's physiology is different and we truly need to find out what triggers are causing the most disruption in our microbiome. Margaret also details how one should start in the gut when starting their road to curing the thyroid and other hormonal disruptions. Margaret is truly a knowledgeable doctor and the jewels she drops in this episode are some you do not want to miss, so make sure to tune in! KEY TAKEAWAYS [8:25] How Margaret became involved in her journey with functional nutrition [21:11] Identifying the triggers for autoimmune disease [24:55] Digestive process is one of the most moments in our physiology [27:05] The difference between hypothyroid and hyperthyroid [32:00] Margaret got her own autoimmune diagnosis when she was pregnant with her second daughter HOW TO CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST https://restorativewellnesssolutions.com/ IG: @restorativewellnesssolutions MEMORABLE QUOTES "Diversity rules… from the stock portfolio, to you garden, to your gut, diversity rules. And this idea that one paradigm, one way of eating, can support diversity, it's just not possible." "I followed her advice, I took all the supplements (I didn't have a clue what any of it was doing), I changed my diet profoundly, and within three weeks, every spot of that eczema was gone and it has never come back." "Identifying what is constantly engaging that immune system and removing those things systematically. And ill tell you where you always want to start, and that's in the gut." "The vast majority of the immune system lives in and around the gut. Even if you're that rare person with no digestive symptoms, that doesn't mean that your digestion functioning perfectly." "If you think about it, our digestion tract, basically one big long tube, is still the outside of the body in many ways. I sort of describe ourselves as one very complicated donut, and the giant hole in the middle is our digestive tube." "With thyroid, thyroid regulates metabolism and many other things… a hypothyroid means an under-functioning thyroid; that means you do not have enough thyroid hormones to do the things it needs to do." "A hyperthyroid means it's up-regulated, so too much hormone… it can get life-threatening quickly because it can increase heart and blood pressure and things like that." "It was quite a moment because I specialized in Hashimoto's, worked with a lot of women who wanted to conceive… so this was my land and here I was pregnant, getting the diagnosis during a pregnancy, which is unusual because autoimmune sort of goes into remission during pregnancy." | |||
| Detoxing from Mold Toxicity, Stress, and Stressor with Misty Williams | 24 May 2022 | 00:28:04 | |
On this episode of the Girlfriend Doctor Show, we had a conversation with entrepreneur extraordinaire, Misty Williams. Misty is a successful businesswoman/marketing strategist. After facing many physiological hardships like hypothyroidism and premature ovarian failure, she made it her duty to heal herself from these illnesses, with the main contributors being mold toxicity and stress. Mold toxicity definitely does not get the recognition it deserves. Misty dives deep into the dangers of mold toxicity and how it can lead to other illnesses or diseases and how accessing the parasympathetic tone of our nervous system can be the key factor in restoring and repairing our body. Misty talks about undergoing many meetings with doctors only for them to tell her she needed pills or surgery. She refused to go down that path so she decided to take a holistic approach to heal and has not looked back since. Now she works with many different medical specialists and is now even hosting a summit called the Radical Healing Masterclass Summit 2022! Tune in and check out the link attached to find out more!

| From Saving Ecosystems to Saving Immune & Hormonal Systems with Reed Davis | 17 May 2022 | 00:46:34 | |
On this week's episode of the Girlfriend Doctor Show, we had a delightful conversation with Reed Davis. After helping thousands of plants as an Environmental Paralegal, and then thousands of people as a Certified Nutritional Therapist and Health Coach, he observed what works and what doesn't when it comes to underlying health issues. He integrated his professions to become president of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, where he specializes in rebuilding and maintaining the stability of the hormone, immune, digestion, and detoxification systems. In this episode, we also discuss the dangers of thyroids, as well as exterior factors that may exacerbate our brain and gut health, such as toxins in the air and artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. Almost every guest we have on here always seems to circle around a topic that we discuss quite frequently on The Girlfriend Doctor, and that is the idea that we are what we consume. We have to monitor our nutrition on a daily basis in order to reverse or prevent chronic disorders and illnesses, not only for ourselves but for our children as well. Tune in and find out exactly how Reed got his start in the world of functional nutrition and how people being healed, heals him! KEY TAKEAWAYS (with timestamps):

| Healing Our Inner-Child to Reverse Autoimmune Diseases with Dr. Keesha | 13 May 2022 | 00:52:59 | |
On this episode of the Girlfriend Doctor, I had a conversation with Dr. Keesha Ewers. Dr. Keesha is an Autoimmune Wellness & Integrative Medicine Medical Provider as well as a Doctor in Sexology. She specializes in digestive and hormonal health, and in this show, she gives us the key tips to reversing and preventing autoimmune diseases, maintaining sexual health, and more! Dr. Keesha details how unexpressed emotions as a child can linger in our bodies until they are fully purged out of our system. Specific events in our childhood can have a significant amount of trauma related emotion, which can lead to several illnesses and diseases like RA (rheumatoid arthritis), an autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, one which Dr. Keesha was able to heal from, fortunately. As adults, what we think is trauma is much different from what we thought it was as children. Most kids (Dr. Keesha being one of them) have no idea what trauma even looks like, let alone how deeply it affects our bodies later on in life. Taking the time to focalize on what causes specific triggers in our lives as adults is key to healing the trauma we endured as a child. Dr. Keesha makes it immensely evident that we have to be the parent/protector that we always needed to our younger, inner self. She's a gem in the world of integrative and hormonal health, so you won't want to miss this crucial talk! KEY TAKEAWAYS (with timestamps):

| The Keys to Longevity and Spirituality with Teri Cochrane | 09 May 2022 | 00:40:47 | |
On this episode of The Girlfriend Doctor, we had a conversation with the lovely Teri Cochrane. Teri is the CEO and Founder of the Global Sustainable Health Institute. But more than that, she is a international thought leader in longevity and some would even call her a "spiritual scientist", and if you tune in, you will find out why! Teri and I discussed many important topics regarding menopause like the dangers of endocrine disruptors like DES, to the emotional and generational traumas that are passed down from mother to fetus. But one topic of discussion that was different was how important it is to do the spiritual work for the inner-body. Our bodies are literally made up energy and when we take good care of our energy, it radiates. When we radiate, we are operating at a high vibrational frequency, and Teri puts a strong emphasis on this because many of us are not conscious enough of our energy. We need to constantly be conscious of what we are consuming, not just physically but mentally as well. Everything from the food we eat, to the water we drink, to the stuff we consume through our phones and computers, everything needs to have a meter! If one really wants to take a deeper dive into the world of inner-body work you should definitely check out Teri' website and book, The Wildatarian Diet, sold everywhere books are available!

| The Wonders of Hormone Reset Programs with Robin Nielsen | 03 May 2022 | 00:37:39 | |
On this week's episode of The Girlfriend Doctor, we had a conversation with my very good friend/colleague of many years, Robin Nielsen. Robin is a hormone expert, Certified Clinical Nutritionist, and Board Certified in Holistic Health. Robin has been helping women with menopausal health for many years now and she gives us her secrets to maintain a healthy and thriving life! Robin discusses the importance on not only focusing on sex hormones because they're miniscule compared to the other main hormones, which are cortisol and insulin. She explains why that these are the main hormones women should focus on because they are the main factors that either contribute or deprive our gene expression. These factors essentially control the trajectory of our success. We also talk about her different programs made to help deal with the issues that come with menopause like weight gain, mood destabilization, and more. Robin emphasizes that ladies need to not only attend the hormone reset program but maintain it after it's done. Consistency is key when it comes to repairing our molecular integrity, and our lifestyle choices are the formula. This talk is too interesting to not tune in, so listen, learn, and grow!

| Fasting for the Mind, Body, and Soul with Dr. David Jockers | 29 Apr 2022 | 00:52:03 | |
On this week's episode of the Girlfriend Doctor Podcast, I had a wonderful conversation with Dr. David Jockers. David is a natural health doctor, functional nutritionist, author, and certified strength and conditioning specialist. We dive into many topics regarding the benefits of intermittent fasting, strategies to adapt to eating less, knowing your "Why", and much more. I'm sure that you've probably heard or seen something regarding the benefits of fasting but in this conversation, we discuss the details on how to ease into a fasting routine without causing getting burnt out too quickly. Food is just as addicting, if not more, than any substance out there, so we should be more careful on what we are ingesting into our bodies and at what time. Dr. Jockers also details how he does a 24-hour fast once a week and how blood sugar and insulin levels impact sex drive and hormones. We are literally what we consume, and if we constantly eat foods that are not good for our body, we transmute that low energy into our daily lives. We go in depth on the importance of fasting but if you would like to really go deep-sea diving into the topic, make sure to purchase Dr. Jocker's book, The Fasting Transformation. And while you're at it, purchase his other books that will help you improve your physical, mental, and emotional body! KEY TAKEAWAYS (with timestamps):

| Innercising before Exercising with Keto Guru, Ben Azadi | 27 Apr 2022 | 00:44:34 | |
On this episode of the Girlfriend Doctor Podcast, we had a delightful conversation with keto guru, Ben Azadi. Ben is a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, author, and founder of Keto Kamp. He shares his journey coming from being a depressed, obese 24-year-old to being a very healthy and extremely successful entrepreneur. Our food is slowly losing its quality and we need to be aware of this issue. We can't just get our nutrients and vitamins from our food like we could've twenty years ago, so Ben has solutions for these problems: ketogenic diet. He shares his experience being a vegan and then switching to keto and talks about how he started his course, Keto Kamp, helping people of all ages and sizes achieve physical, mental, and spiritual health. Very often, people get too fixated on following all the exercises and diet protocols but fail to fixate on the things that feed the soul like hugging and talking to family and friends, going on an adventure, and learning how to live in gratitude. Ben emphasizes the importance of these innercises as well as finding a nutrition plan that works for you individually, because we all have molecular differences in our DNA, even if they're very slim. Tune in and join to learn the secrets of finding a balance that works for you when it comes to nutrition and inner healing. KEY TAKEAWAYS (with timestamps):

| The Dangers of Toxic Mold in the Body with Bridgit Danner | 21 Apr 2022 | 00:36:25 | |
In this week's episode of The Girlfriend Doctor Podcast, we had Bridgit Danner. Bridgit is a certified Functional Diagnostic Practitioner and author. This conversation covered topics such as gut bacteria, immune disorders, and birth defects, and how many of these issues derive from toxic mold levels in the body.
Bridgit's interest in natural health grew from an interest in protecting the environment. She's very educated on the environment, so when an environmental illness was developed at her home in Portland, Oregon, and they lost everything in their home due to toxic mold, she knew she had to get to the bottom of this serious issue.
Bridgit covered many ways one can prevent and treat toxic mold levels in the body in this episode but one can truly go in-depth on the subject in her new book, The Ultimate Toxic Mold Recovery Guide.

"Most of these tests are not available, you know, going to your pcp type of thing. You may be able to use your health savings card to pay for them, if you have a card that allows for that, but a lot of people are just paying out of pocket."
"There's a great movie, I think it's called Blackwater, and I highly recommend that. It's in Delaware. It's about the runoff from the company making Teflon. And so, it was creating cancers, birth defects, miscarriages, and it's just a really well-done movie."
"Just like functional medicine for the body, functional medicine for the home means you find the source."
"And in the body, I love lymphatic movement. That probably made the most difference to me in healing. So, I love the sauna, dry rushing, Epsom salt baths, coffee enemas, lymphatic massage, rebounding, just getting outside and getting some exercise and getting some sun.
