The Roots & Fruits Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Toxicity is such a huge underlaying factor in all chronic diseases. It's no wonder things like autoimmunity, infertility, cancer, ADHD and other life-long health struggles are on the rise in step with the dramatic increase of toxins.

Our bodies were designed to eliminate them, but not at the rate at which they are coming in.

This season is ALL ABOUT TOXICITY!

Here's what's coming down the pipeline:

• Environmental toxins, especially glyphosate. We are so excited to welcome Stephanie Seneff this season to dive into the rabbit hole of the infamous pesticide.
• Mold and other air quality disruptors
• Toxins in beauty & skincare products, how it disrupts your microbiome, and what to do about it
• Pharmaceuticals in meat, tap water and more, slowly accumulating in the body contributing to gut dysbiosis, tipping toxic loads, and consequently more
• We will discuss links between parasites and toxicity (why they love it)
• Further, diving into the ADHD and toxicity connection
• And we can't forget the idea of emotions being stored in our organs and unresolved trauma being toxic to the body

Many of us have challenges eliminating toxins. We refer to this clinically as drainage issues.

The more you can reduce the burden on your body, the quicker your body will clear it out.

The lack of nutrients in our standard north American diet causes many problems with our natural detoxification system. Processes within require nutrients from the foods that we eat that are dramatically decreasing in quantity thanks to soil depletion, genetic modification and other agricultural advancements that focus only on yield and profit, not health of the planet and it's people.

Helllloooo Roots & Fruits Fam! And welcome to our first attempt at podcasting.

The audio quality is not where we want it, we maybe rambled a little, but we are HERE for the journey and stoked to have you ride along with us.

We are soooo stinkin' excited to have meaningful and informative conversations over the months and years to come, and hope you enjoy this first conversation between husband and wife, the faces behind Roots & Fruits, to get to know us and have some fun!

Trigger Warning: Birth Trauma, Covid Vaccines. Things didn't go as planned for the birth of our first son. Some of the things were beyond control, but most of our terrible experience was thanks to ridiculous policies that were clearly not about health at all. When our son needed medical attention, before we could even catch a glimpse of his face, he was taken away from us, and we were not "allowed" to be with him. We are grateful for the amazing individuals who crossed our paths during this crappy experience, but we are also sharing for awareness of the mistreatment that occurred within hospital walls during the height of the pandemic. For our full birth story, take a listen!

It's been a while since getting a fresh episode up!

Though it wasn't the plan for episode 8, we wanted to share vulnerably about why we have been MIA. This week's episode is not an easy one to share.

After sharing why we decided to shut down Roots & Fruits Market, despite it's amazing success, trigger warning we get into pregnancy loss & miscarriage.

Do not listen if this is something you don't want to hear about.

Some statistics suggest that nearly half of concussions go undetected or undiagnosed.

Today we learn from Natasha Wilch, Canadian Physical Therapist, brain clinic owner and clinician mentor.

She has a passion for changing the conversation around concussions and elevating care for those on a recovery journey by fostering an integrative environment to get to the root cause of persistent symptoms.

Natasha's clinic, Symphony Brain Performance, is located in beautiful Nanaimo, British Columbia. It's the only clinic of its kind in BC. A multi-disciplinary team of Physical Therapists, Kinesiologists, Clinical Counselors, and Occupational Therapists are there to support you.

Today we discuss her story, her approach to treatment, the 7 phenotypes of concussions and more! You won't want to miss this.

From a very young age, Dr. Spencer DeSanti knew he wanted to be a dentist. He went through all the right classes to set him up for the field, but when his (not yet) wife started to help him question the "norm" of modern medicine, he started opening his mind to other philosophies of dentistry.

Flash forward, and today he owns a thriving dental practice in Calgary, Alberta where patients come far and wide to experience the empowered health care he offers.

In this week's episode, get to know Dr. DeSanti as we just scratch the surface of some topics like the oral microbiome, mouth breathing and nano-hydroxyapatite.
