| Algae Might Be The Most Powerful Food You’re Not Eating | 12 May 2026 | 00:55:18 | |
Algae is often overlooked, but it may be one of the most powerful tools for supporting energy, detoxification, and cellular health. In this episode, Dr. Jen sits down with Catharine Arnston, PhD, founder of ENERGYbits, to unpack the science behind spirulina and chlorella and why these ancient organisms are gaining attention in modern health. They explore how algae supports mitochondrial function, reduces oxidative stress through compounds like superoxide dismutase (SOD), and helps the body manage toxins and nutrient deficiencies. Catharine also explains the key differences between spirulina and chlorella, how each impacts the body, and how to incorporate algae into a daily routine for sustained energy, metabolic resilience, and long-term wellness. Catharine Arnston, PhD, is the Founder, CEO, and Chief Scientific Officer of ENERGYbits, a premium algae nutrition company. After a 25-year corporate career, she pivoted into health and wellness following her sister’s breast cancer diagnosis, which led her to discover the powerful benefits of algae. Now a Board-Certified Health Coach with a PhD in Natural Health, Catharine has spent nearly two decades researching spirulina and chlorella and their impact on mitochondrial health, oxidative stress, and longevity. She is a leading voice in algae nutrition and a frequent guest on top health podcasts. Website: https://energybits.com PODCAST: Thank you for listening please subscribe and share!

| The Missing Vitamin Behind Fatigue, POTS, And Brain Fog | 05 May 2026 | 00:33:41 | |
Thiamine may be one of the most overlooked nutrients in modern health, yet it plays a critical role in energy production, nervous system regulation, and mitochondrial function. In this episode, Dr. Jen sits down with wellness educator Bonnie Thiele to unpack the science behind vitamin B1 and why deficiencies may be far more common than most people realize. They explore the connection between thiamine and dysautonomia, fatigue, gut health, Parkinson’s disease, pregnancy complications, and chronic stress, while also breaking down the confusing world of thiamine supplements and derivatives. This conversation offers a fascinating look at how one nutrient can profoundly impact energy, resilience, and overall health. Bonnie Thiele is a longtime wellness educator with over 40 years of experience in nutrition and integrative health education. She has worked extensively in the field of dietary supplementation and currently serves as a product educator for Ecological Formulas. Mentored by pioneering thiamine researcher Dr. Derrick Lonsdale, Bonnie specializes in educating practitioners and the public about the role of thiamine in mitochondrial health, autonomic nervous system regulation, and chronic illness.

| Why Seed Oils Are Driving Obesity and Metabolic Dysfunction | 03 Mar 2026 | 00:48:30 | |
Seed oils are not just a modern cooking swap — they represent a dramatic shift in how we fuel our bodies. In this episode, Dr. Jen sits down with Steven Rofrano, founder of Ancient Crunch, to explore how vegetable oils moved from industrial products to dietary staples and why that change may be contributing to oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and insulin resistance. They discuss the historical roots of seed oil adoption, the metabolic consequences of unstable omega-6 fats, the importance of ancestral food preparation methods like nixtamalization, and practical ways to reduce seed oil exposure without feeling restricted or extreme. Steven Rofrano is an entrepreneur and founder of Ancient Crunch, the company behind MASA chips and Vandy potato chips. After reversing his own chronic health issues through diet and lifestyle changes, Steven began educating others about ancestral eating and seed oil avoidance. His work focuses on bringing traditionally prepared, tallow-fried snacks to market while challenging modern food industry practices and promoting ingredient transparency.

| Episode #40 How to advocate for yourself in a medical setting | 03 May 2023 | 00:28:49 | |
How to advocate in the medical setting. Do your research on the physician, NP, PA or whomever you are seeing. It would be good to know before hand if they are a good fit for you. Not only that make sure you like the office staff and any partners they have in their practice that might also be in contact with you. Examples- peds/ob Get a second opinion. Your practitioner should not be offended by this. They should be fine with having another set of eyes on the situation or the fact you want to maybe see if someone is a better fit. Are you a part of a team or does it seem one sided. The healthcare team- includes the most important person- the patient! If you aren’t feeling heard- get a patient advocate, a family member or change practices. Find someone in the hospital that will listen and voice your concerns. Regarding ob care. You need to like and know everyone that can be on call for your birth. Questions to ask: Will you let me labor naturally? For how long? What if my water breaks? Can I walk the hospital? Can I be allowed to eat? Can I birth in any position I would like? Can I have my doula there? Do I need an IV or can I have a saline lock? What happens if I refuse a medication? Can we do delayed cord clamping? Skin to skin directly after? How do you close a c section? All the layers? (This is important if you want a Vbac- some obs don’t close all the layers because the research says it doesn’t make a big difference but I know obs that say it’s best care to suture all the layers- it takes longer) Also, ask around to see which L and D hospital nurses get the best reviews. When you arrive at the hospital tell the nurse you want a natural labor and ask if they can support you, they might switch with another nurse on staff. In the end your medical experience might not be ideal, however you can set the mood and tone by being in control and advocating for yourself (or have an advocate there). What is the best way to do this? Practice scenarios with a partner, a doula or out loud with yourself. This way you will be more calm with the situations that might come up and also be more comfortable. This can also work for example with refusing certain things at a peds office. Be prepared, practice and stay firm. In the end please realize most doctors want the best for you, yes we are human, and we care deeply. PODCAST: Thank you for listening please subscribe and share!

| Why Weight Loss, Low Estrogen, and ‘Healthy Aging’ Are Failing Women | 17 Feb 2026 | 00:46:10 | |
In this episode of the Integrative Health Podcast, Dr. Jen sits down with Dr. Sundeep Dugar—renowned medicinal chemist, co-inventor of the drug Zetia, and industry pioneer with over 40 years of experience—to explore the foundational role of mitochondrial health in aging, hormones, and energy. Dr. Dugar shares why he transitioned from Big Pharma into the nutraceutical space, explaining that while pharmaceutical drugs often target isolated diseases, mitochondria are central to nearly every aspect of human health. Because mitochondrial dysfunction underlies conditions ranging from fatigue to muscle loss, brain fog, and chronic disease, supporting mitochondria offers broad, system-wide benefits. The conversation dives deeply into why mitochondrial health is especially critical for women. Dr. Jen and Dr. Dugar explain how mitochondria are inherited exclusively from the mother and play a central role in hormone production, including estrogen. During perimenopause, declining estrogen levels impair mitochondrial biogenesis, creating a “bioenergetic deficit” that drives hallmark aging symptoms such as fatigue, cognitive decline, and muscle loss. Dr. Dugar introduces epicatechin—a specific flavonol derived from green tea and cacao—and explains how it acts as an “exercise mimetic,” signaling the body to create new mitochondria. He clarifies how epicatechin differs from common green tea extracts like EGCG, outlines proper dosing, and discusses why more is not better. They also cover the broader implications of mitochondrial health for bone density, muscle preservation, organ failure, sleep quality, and the risks associated with rapid weight loss from GLP-1 medications. Dr. Jen speaks with medicinal chemist Dr. Sundeep Dugar about mitochondrial health, estrogen decline, epicatechin from green tea, perimenopause, muscle loss, and healthy aging. Dr. Sundeep Dugar is a renowned medicinal chemist with over 40 years of experience in drug discovery and development. He is the co-inventor of Zetia and has worked extensively in cardiovascular, metabolic, and mitochondrial research. Dr. Dugar now focuses on translating cutting-edge science into safe, effective nutraceuticals that support foundational cellular health.

| Motherhood, Faith & Joy | 10 Feb 2026 | 00:42:02 | |
In this episode of the Integrative Health Podcast, Dr. Jen is joined by Abigail (Abby) Halberstadt—author, homeschooling mother of ten, and cultural commentator—for an honest and hope-filled conversation about motherhood, faith, and joy. Together, they explore how modern culture and social media have normalized chronic complaining and resentment around parenting, often framing motherhood as something to survive rather than something to embrace. Dr. Jen and Abby challenge this narrative, discussing why “misery does not like company” and how constant negativity shapes not only maternal mental health, but family culture as a whole. Abby shares why she believes guidance for mothers must be grounded in Scripture and timeless Christian principles such as gratitude, self-giving love, and choosing others over self. She explains how these values—while faith-based—are universal truths that foster fulfillment, resilience, and peace, even for those outside the Christian faith. Drawing from her personal experience and her latest book, You Bet Your Stretch Marks, Abby reframes the physical, emotional, and spiritual demands of motherhood as a meaningful calling rather than a burden. This episode offers encouragement for women who desire a deeper sense of purpose, joy, and alignment in their homes and daily lives. Dr. Jen speaks with Abigail Halberstadt about faith-based motherhood, reframing parenting culture, finding joy, gratitude, and purpose through Scripture and daily life. Abigail (Abby) Halberstadt is an author, homeschooling mother of ten, and homeschool graduate herself. She is a fitness instructor and former high school Spanish teacher who writes and speaks from a Christian perspective to help women rediscover joy, balance, and fulfillment in motherhood. Abby is the author of You Bet Your Stretch Marks, which encourages women to see motherhood as a meaningful vocation rather than a burden.

| Airway Dentistry, Jaw Development & The Hidden Root of Chronic Symptoms | 03 Feb 2026 | 00:49:05 | |
In this episode of the Integrative Health Podcast, Dr. Jen sits down with Dr. Paige Prather, a leading expert in airway and biological dentistry, to explore why dentistry must “zoom out” beyond teeth and aesthetics to consider the airway, jaw development, and whole-body health. Dr. Prather explains how modern dentistry and orthodontics—especially extraction-based treatments—can unintentionally shrink the airway and contribute to lifelong breathing issues, sleep disorders, and chronic sympathetic dominance. They discuss how changes in modern diet, bottle feeding, and reduced breastfeeding have altered jaw development compared to our ancestors, leading to narrower palates and compromised airways. This episode dives into common compensation patterns like clenching and grinding, TMJ pain, headaches, neck tension, sleep apnea, and behavioral challenges in children that are often misdiagnosed. Dr. Prather also highlights the role of biological dentistry in addressing hidden stressors such as cavitations and tongue ties, and how advanced appliances can guide growth and healing—often without invasive surgery. If you or your child struggle with sleep, chronic pain, anxiety, sensory issues, or fatigue, this conversation may reveal a critical missing piece. Dr. Jen talks with Dr. Paige Prather about airway dentistry, jaw development, clenching, grinding, sleep apnea, tongue ties, cavitations, and holistic dental solutions for whole-body health. Dr. Paige Prather is a leading expert in airway and biological dentistry. She specializes in evaluating jaw development, airway volume, and oral restrictions that impact sleep, nervous system regulation, and systemic health. Her work focuses on identifying root causes—such as tongue ties, cavitations, and cranial strain—and using holistic, growth-guiding dental approaches to support long-term healing in both children and adults.

| Episode #13 TEDS: Holistic Approaches to Sports Injuries and more! | 16 Feb 2021 | 00:55:27 | |
The TEDS Foundation was started by Brenda Schultz-McCarthy and her husband Sean McCarthy. Brenda is a former top 10 ranked professional tennis player, 2x Olympian & World Record Holder. Sean is a holistic health coach and peak performance expert. When Brenda was at the height of her career, she suffered a major back injury and was told she would never play tennis again. They tried everything from chiropractic, deep tissue massage, yoga, anti-inflammatory supplements, therapeutic diets and even surgery. While each of these methods offered some relief, Sean & Brenda still knew something was missing. Brenda and Sean discovered that the missing link was unconscious stress. They found that unless this stress is released, the body and mind can not fully heal. They began learning and developing various techniques to identify and eliminate unconscious stress. Seven years after she was told that she would never play again, Brenda returned to professional tennis and broke the world record for fastest serve in the world (130 MPH). After this incredible comeback, Sean & Brenda realized that the best way to address unconscious stress is by taking a holistic approach, focusing on every area of life, including:
Brenda and Sean developed the TEDS approach to life to share this holistic approach by which people can get connected in all areas of their lives and learn to Think the right way, Eat the right way, Do the right things and be a person of Service. Since then, Sean and Brenda have taught these TEDS principles to hundreds of families, athletes and individuals to help them overcome major obstacles in their lives.
