"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.

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

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.

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.”

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!

“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.”

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.

“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.”

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

“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.”

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

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
