Ep 130. Welcome to Season 6, and the mark of a brand new chapter for What’s The Juice Podcast. Wellness is changing, humanity as a collective is changing… each and every one of us are going through huge internal shifts right now. When I sat with the question, ‘how can I be of maximum service to my community at this very moment?’ I realized that at least for right now, that doesn’t look like another episode about your circadian rhythm. It doesn’t look like another complicated protocol to add to your to do list. In the age of information overload, we now know what we “should” be doing to take care of ourselves – I’m more interested in unpacking the deeper, not-so-palatable reasons as to why we sometimes can’t or don’t. The things we think we’re alone in carrying, like shame or guilt, that prevent us from hearing our own inner wisdom and voices about what our bodies actually need separate from an IG perfect morning routine. 

I’m ready to show up as a fuller, wiser version of myself and speak even my ugliest truths because telling our stories is what free us from that shame. This means I also get to speak to the fullness of YOU, and the big life you’re working so hard to create by facing your deepest layers. Let’s talk about all the things we struggle with behind closed doors: how to build a real relationship with yourself after a lifetime at odds, candid chats about vices, friendship breakups, and rediscovering your inner child so that she can get you through this often magical but sometimes extremely difficult life. Come along for solos, Q&As, conversations between everyone from thought leaders to my very best friends.

Starting off strong, today we’re chatting about periods of death and rebirth. Massive transitions are a part of life, but how do we best care for ourselves during a time when it feels like the world we once knew is ending? What do you do when you wake up one day and your life no longer fits – you know you need to say goodbye to the way things are, but you’re terrified of jumping when you don’t know what’s next? I'm breaking down my last couple of years and the terrifying experience of letting go, sitting in nothingness, and trusting that something new will be born. I’ll be sharing the very best wisdom I learned from the pain. Whether you're ready for a change in your career, relationships, or sense of identity, this episode is a comforting reminder that growth is necessary, nonlinear, and ultimately SO worth it. 

HERE'S THE JUICE

• Why we’re so afraid of change and how to understand that the “death” before a rebirth is necessary

• What to do when you know a part of your identity has expired, but you can’t quite see what’s next yet

• How to know when you're entering a period of restructuring and change (and the signs your life might be giving you that it's time to course-correct)

• Why major life pivots are essential even if our society doesn't value us during them – how to train your brain to know that discomfort and pain come before growth and birth

• Embracing the idea that your worth isn't dependent on your creations and productivity, but rather your innate ability to create in the first place

• How to navigate misalignment and have patience for ourselves when we don’t listen to our inner voice and fall off our path

• The power of the unknown and why jumping into it is sometimes the only way forward 

• How to create space for rest and reflection in small ways on a day-to-day basis & why nature can be an influential teacher and source of comfort during transitions

Ep 129. Have you ever wondered why homeopathy and plant medicine have so many success stories? Are you curious about the magic that occurs when we connect with the soul of a plant? Lauren Baca, an herbalist and bioresonance practitioner, dives into the science behind what’s happening on a cellular level when we harness the healing power of plants. She explains how your body can literally tell you which plants and dosages are meant for you, shares her personal experience finding herbalism, and offers an immense amount of tangible herbal wisdom along the way. I fully believe that Lauren’s deep understanding of bioenergetic medicine can help so many of you and I can’t wait for you to hear this powerful conversation between two plant lovers.

HERE’S THE JUICE:

• Why herbalism is really about connecting with the souls of plants, just as we would with other human souls.
• How Lauren got started in herbalism and the herbs that have impacted her the most
• How plant medicine (our oldest medicine) can help us come back into right relationship with ourselves
• What suppressed physiology is and why can plant medicine is so great at treating the root cause
• The exact herbs that can help with codependency
• What bioenergetic testing and biofeedback are and how you can effectively match yourself with the plants you need most

Ep 120. Have you ever wondered if it’s possible to reverse the damage we have done to our earth? Have you been told that going vegan is the only way to do so? When Taylor Collins bought 900 acres of factory-farmed land, it was completely barren, desolate, and degraded. But by working with nature’s cycles and reintroducing animals in order to loosen the soil and give back to the land, Taylor transformed his farm into a thriving ecosystem that supports higher crop yields, healthier soil and more nutritious food. In this episode, we talk about the power of connection, the “green narrative,” and what we as consumers can do to help our earth today. The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now – let’s dive in! 

HERE’S THE JUICE:

• How factory farming works against nature’s principles to yield a higher output yet lower nutritional value

• Taylor’s belief that humans aren’t inherently destructive but our values of “more more more” absolutely are

• Why monocropping as a “solution” to global food insecurity is promoting a broken system

• How regenerative farming mimics the cycles of nature and creates community 

• Why we don’t need to stop eating meat but we need to rethink how we do it

• The idea that healthy soil is the KEY to nutrient-rich foods and why topsoil is so critical

• Why “Impossible” Meat isn’t actually a better or more sustainable solution than regeneratively farmed meat

• Why our farmers are in crisis – both personally and financially 

• How to vote with our dollars when it comes to food and support the growing community of regenerative farmers

Ep 30. This week’s episode features Dr. Aviva Romm—an MD, midwife, herbalist, and a bestselling author with her latest book: Hormone Intelligence. Do you have (or suspect you might have) a hormone imbalance, whether that’s endometriosis, PCOS, or you’re struggling with fertility? How about insomnia, or other complaints that are seemingly unrelated to hormone health but tend to come and go with your cycle? Today we’re talking about some potential root causes of all of these, and getting into simple and extremely tangible changes (herbs and beyond) that can impact your hormones on a foundational level. Let’s get juicy!

Ep 29. Our Season 2 premiere features a long-awaited couples Q&A! We rounded up all of your most frequently asked questions on Instagram about how we’ve kept things juicy for the last decade and why friendship, respect, personal space and music are the keys to our union. We throw it back to when we first met (hint: it wasn’t love at first sight) and move through the last 10 years—growing and learning both together and as individuals. Juicy topics include how we approach communication, how therapy has helped us both separately and together, how our “childhood attachment styles” play a role in arguments and conflict resolution, and our dreams for the future. Stay tuned for a special surprise at the end—this season is off to quite the start ;)

This week’s episode features world renowned “fertility goddess” Dr. Jill Blakeway — an acupuncturist, clinical herbalist, and the author of 3 books including ‘Making Babies: A Proven 3-Month Program for Maximum Fertility.’ Instead of talking about fertility, which we’ll save for a part II, we’re taking a step back to basics by doing a deep dive into SEX ITSELF, where alllll of the juicy magic happens. Do you want to nourish your libido and improve your connection with your partner, even if it feels taboo or shameful to talk about at first? Nothing is off limits on today’s episode, where we’re having a REAL conversation offering actual solutions, including herbs, exercises you can do alone or with your partner, and even making a point to THINK about sex more throughout the day. We get into why many of us simply feel too exhausted, and what you can do from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective to boost your Qi and stop feeling stuck.

A lot of skeptics question psychics, mediums, and energy workers because it’s like, “why does this person think they’re special?” or “why should they be able to access it and not me?” But it’s not that at all! We’re all capable of connecting with energy—we just have to learn how to trust this gift within ourselves. Alea Lovely is our guest on today's "out there" episode where we don't hold back about spirituality, psychic dreams, how plants "speak to me", unexplainable experiences (including that time Nick went into space and spoke to his grandmother and grandfather about the meaning of life) and the deeper lesson behind the chaos of 2020. We're going there today, discussing angel numbers, how to recognize signs, getting in touch with your intuition and sixth sense, and so much more.

This episode is a little more spiritual than most of our others, and I think it's just what we all need to finish out the year.

This week on What's the Juice Amrit Singh and I nerd out about cosmetic acupuncture as an alternative to botox, how to stimulate production of your OWN collagen (instead of just supplementing), hot baths for acne, and other uncommon techniques from Traditional Chinese Medicine. We're covering several of my favorite topics: how emotional states can affect your physical meridians, how to protect your immune system, your lymphatic system, and the importance of your "Shen". BTW your "Shen" symbolizes your spirit; it’s a combo of happiness, alignment, fulfillment, energy, and how you deeply nourish yourself. Amrit and I get specific about how you can improve your skin using a whole body perspective, because the truth is, even the priciest serum won't give you that GLOW if your "Shen" isn't nourished.

We're going more than skin deep with this episode, so get your notebooks ready and let's get juicy!

Life update: my mama is FINALLY home after 6 grueling months and we're adapting to her post-COVID needs with help from her wonderful caregivers. It truly does take a village, and there's no way I'd be able to cope without my community. That's why this week, I decided to release my episode with Dr. Robin Berzin of Parsley Health where we explore the very real gaps in healthcare that have only become more apparent over this past year. How can we move to a prevention-focused model of medicine where patients genuinely feel heard and supported? How do we advocate for ourselves and our loved ones so that we're seen as the complex humans we are with unique and individual needs? Dr. Berzin's goal with her practice is to help us stop "living ourselves sick" by genuinely getting to know each patient for their unique lifestyle and needs, and identifying early symptoms related to common conditions like PCOS, hormonal/thyroid imbalances, autoimmune diseases, and more. I've said it before and I'll say it again: modern medicine is incredible on so many levels, and yet there's still room for improvement and integration as chronic disease only continues to rise. Dr. Berzin and her team are in the middle of a healthcare revolution, and I'm HERE FOR IT.

Friendly reminder: I am an herbalist, not a medical doctor. I love plants, PubMed, and combining tradition with science. My mission with this episode is to break down everything I know about post-COVID syndrome and get to the root of how we can fully heal our bodies after experiencing infection or prolonged periods of stress. In this episode I will share what I’ve learned from other professionals who are currently treating post-COVID syndrome.

Post-COVID hair loss is something we’ve been hearing more and more about over the past few months, and has been at the top of my mind after hearing experiences from so many in the OO community. Today I’m going to share my perspective as an herbalist on the what, why, and how we can support our bodies as we recover and convalesce. We’ll chat about “Telogen Effluvium” (hair loss that shows up several months after a fever or infection), the effects of stress and how B vitamins get depleted, and why mushroom broth may help with post-infection immune dysregulation.

If you've been trying to get your gut right without understanding the role your oral microbiome plays in overall health—this episode is for you. As it turns out, at lot more than just food goes down every time we swallow and we're talking about it all with Dr. Mark Burhenne, aka Dr. B. Dr. B is a functional dentist who didn't stop learning after he graduated from dental school. Instead, he chose to study the root cause of dental issues and get super familiar with one part of the body: The mouth. At the core of his learnings is the fact that the state of our oral microbiome directly affects our overall health. 

Dr. B’s bottom line: You can’t be healthy unless you’ve addressed your oral health.

Ever since getting COVID from my dad and experiencing GI symptoms as my main presentation, the microbiome has clearly been at the top of my mind. I just got my GI Map results back from my doctor (which is an advanced DNA based stool test that looks for overgrowths of different pathogens), and we found some interesting bugs which reinforce that oral/gut connection I’ve been stressing in recent episodes. We even found a bug that may actually be contributing to my recent neck pain - I’m telling you, it’s alllll connected!

This episode could not come at a better time, as Dr. Stephanie Canestraro is here to bless us with some juicy tips on how she treats pesky gut infections and why the vagus nerve (the largest nerve in your body) is the key to keeping them away. After coming close to a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis and making a full recovery, Dr. Stephanie became passionate about the gut-brain connection, and is here to give us all the straight #facts about SIBO, bile salts, your microbiome and why oral care is imperative. Not only has she learned how to THRIVE with a sensitive system, she’s here to help us see the crucial connection between the gut and literally everything else — so buckle up for a deeply informative episode.

Ep 119. What if the key to weight loss isn’t actually about what’s on our plates? Today I’m chatting with a true gem of a human being as well as a kick-ass nutritionist. Nicki Parlitsis helps her clients achieve their goals but also understand WHY they might be harming themselves with food through binging or restricted diets. In this episode she unpacks how binging is often a deeper reflection on our lives, showing us exactly what we need to focus on within ourselves to ultimately heal our relationship with food. We also discuss why binging is both an emotional AND physical response for many of us and how we can tune into the signs our bodies are giving us before we start to go down toxic paths.

HERE’S THE JUICE:

• The difference between physical and emotional binge eating

• Why women tend to fear gaining muscle and what it actually means to “tone” your body

• The importance of training your brain in steps and why intuitive eating is a graduate level course in dietetics

• What an all-or-nothing mindset with food looks like and how it contributes to binge eating

• The fact that something as simple as thinking about meals as events can help retrain your brain to get out of a snacking mindset and into a space of intentional eating

• Nicki’s favorite client hack of meal prepping like a chef 

• Why binge eating is not the problem and how to get to the root of what’s happening in your body

• Why listening to your hunger cues is the first step to take even if it means abandoning your diet

Most of us are taught to brush 2-3 times a day and floss regularly, but what we aren’t told is the whole story on WHY these practices are so important. Taking care of our mouths is more than just protecting our smile… it about boosting our immunity, protecting against autoimmune conditions, and preventing infection.

Since Dr. Victoria has been furloughed during the COVID crisis, she’s dedicated her time to educating herself on the infection. Over the past few months, she’s connected the dots between the virus and common oral bacteria, leading her to create some compelling hypotheses about the role of bacterial superinfection in COVID complications.

This is an episode that I've been ferociously putting off for months because honestly, I'm still actively processing everything that happened. This episode of What's the Juice wasn't premeditated. It wasn't a scheduled recording, or part of our season one production plans. And yet, nothing over the past six months has gone "as planned"... so here we are.

This episode is a raw recount of exactly what went down in March 2020 when BOTH of my parents almost lost their lives to the first wave of the novel Coronavirus. Our story kicks off at the beginning of the first COVID outbreak in New York and this makes it all the more unnerving. None of us knew anything back then. I was trying to figure this virus out in real time as my mom was being put on a ventilator and my dad was terrified for his life. I was called to rely on everything I've ever learned as a humbled herbalist with a newfound, deeper appreciation for Western Medicine to get them through.

This is the next chapter of my growth. I told you guys What's the Juice would be an extension of our community, so Nick and I are here today, on the mic, recording all the wild details about how relentless patient advocacy, experimental drugs, round the clock prayer, and a few earth-side angels saved both my parents lives. You'll hear how facing the potential loss of my loved ones changed me as a person forever and helped me to realize my own mortality (and thus, what's truly important in life). You'll learn how hard it was to advocate for them in the hospital system, and why finding out what was in my mom's feeding tube formula (hint: corn) helped me make decisions that were better for her health and survival. You'll get our side of how the virus presented in our own bodies once we contracted it from my father.

But most of all, you'll hear how LOVE for your family can give you the power to fight even when you don't have an ounce of strength left. This is a story about family coming together and deeeeep generational healing far beyond the virus.

It was the worst time of my life, but it also showed me my relentless will to fight for the people that I love. And I'm a much better person for it today.

THIS WEEK ON WHAT’S THE JUICE PODCAST

Unless you’re new here, you’ve most likely heard me gush about my experience at ArborVitae School of Traditional Herbalism. Now, I haven’t always been a total herb nerd. This interest of mine was first ignited when I started buying supplements on Amazon and it quickly spiraled into a full-blown passion that just won’t quit!

A few years ago I followed my gut to ArborVitae and I can say with 100% certainty that it was the right choice for me. I’ve learned SO much since I first started my program and it’s all thanks to my incredible, inspiring, brilliant teachers.

This episode of What’s The Juice is a super special one for me because I get to introduce you to someone I’ve mentioned many times before: Richard Mandelbaum. Richard and Claudia Keel founded ArborVitae, and they’re the quintessential yin and yang team. In herbalism speak, where Claudia is the flower essence, Richard is the spleen qi... and they are both major herbalist GOALS. 

Richard’s classes are full of Chinese Medicine (be still my heart), and he’s always encouraging his students to look at human health in a balanced way. He’s a Leo — so it’s no wonder that I resonate with him — but it’s his Aquarius moon AND Aquarius rising that make him such an innovator. Not only did he co-found an herbalism school in New York City, he’s also playing a vital role in shifting the way modern medicine approaches Lyme disease.

Ready to get schooled by Richard Mandelbaum? (You’re gonna love it — I swear!)

Here’s the juice on this week’s pod guest: Alisa Vitti. Alisa is a wellness queen, researcher, and author, and in this episode of What’s The Juice, we talk all about biological cycles and something super eye opening: The Infradian Rhythm.

Here’s what’s up with the infradian rhythm...

Unlike the 24-hour circadian rhythm (which is the single natural rhythm for men), the infradian rhythm is a secondary 28-day cycle that affects six key systems in the reproductive-aged female body.

The infradian rhythm impacts our:

• Brain
• Metabolism
• Immune system
• Microbiome
• Stress response system
• Reproductive system

So yeah… It affects preeetty much everything. And because of this second natural rhythm, we are literally not the same person week after week. In any given month, we will experience four different biological phases that can be embraced and optimized, making us the most creative, productive, badass versions of ourselves!

Welcome back to another installment of WHO IS SHE. This week we’re getting to know a plant I think we can all vibe with right now… it’s our girl, AVENA SATIVA.

So, technically our girl avena sativa isn’t an adaptogen but she totally moonlights as one. Avena is actually a nervine that responds well to adaptogens so she’s often combined with them so she can work her healing magic. She’s nourishing, lubricating, and gentle… so it shouldn’t be a surprise to learn that she’s one of the most comforting foods I can think of: Oatmeal.

Well, the time has come and this episode is just me, my microphone, and my herbalism school notes.... And I gotta admit, I freaking loved recording this episode because it gave me the opportunity to spill the juice on something I’m so so SO passionate about. As if it wasn’t already clear that talking about herbs turns me into a serious Nerd with a capital N, this episode totally gives me away. 

Okay, so here are some fast facts about agrimony…

Agrimony’s general profile:

• It’s a part of the rose family
• It’s a liver support herb (In fact, its common name is ‘liverwort’. Cute, right?)
• It’s an astringent, so it’s cooling and drying
• Its flavor is bitter, pungent, with a mild sweet and sour

Are you ready? Because I’m about to go into full-on herbalist mode and I hope you’re here for it!

Episode #13 of What’s The Juice? is packed with real stories that I hope will inspire you to dig deep and get in touch with your intuition and inherent healing powers. To say I was moved AF barely scratches the surface of all the feels that came up for me during this conversation with Dr. Dani Olsen… and I just can’t wait for you to hear all about what she does and some absolutely incredible experiences she’s had.

Dr. Dani Olsen is a real-life unicorn. She’s a chiropractor, craniosacral therapist, reiki master, intuitive, qigong practitioner, and is currently studying somiatry (body/mind/spirit healing). Pretty legit, right?

This week, on What's the Juice, I'm joined by Dr. Kara of Aculand Acupuncture for a very timely episode all about the gut, digestion, dampness, and gut dysbiosis — exactly the topics we need to focus on right now. We also give a juicy introduction to the Qi. Qi is the term used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to describe your body’s vital life energy. It's necessary for all life processes: proper organ function, circulation of blood, metabolism of body fluid, warming the body, defending against illness, and transforming food into energy. This episode specifically covers liver Qi stagnation. What lifestyle choices are we making that disrupt our live Qi? What are the most common symptoms? What herbs have been shown to be beneficial? 

We also cover several self acupuncture points that help us regenerate our Qi, plus tips on keeping our digestive fires going strong. 

This is a concentrated episode with a lot of useful information packed into a nerdy conversation. I hope you love it!

In episode #11 we learn all about the foundation of Human Design from a true expert, Erin Claire Jones. To get every last ounce out of this episode, you need to do one quick thing before we dive in… Get your free personal Human Design Chart HERE. To kick things off, Erin Claire Jones gives us an overview on what Human Design is and what it does. In short, it’s a self awareness tool that can help you make decisions and show you if you’re on the right path. One thing I LOVE about Human Design is that it’s basically a gateway to knowing yourself. It’s similar to astrology in the sense that it peels back the layers to reveal who we are and how we work, allowing us to get into a flow where we can exist with less pushing and resistance … and damn, if I don’t need more of that in my life! 

Human Design draws from other systems like astrology, Kabbalah, quantum physics, genetics, bio physics, and MORE. I absolutely love this because it totally reflects my personal philosophy as an herbalist. I don’t practice just one thing! I pull from Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, Western herbal medicine, etc. and create my own way of doing things.

Ep 118. When was the last time you did a radical 180 about a long held belief? Today I’m sitting down with a brilliant dentist who was once picketing in the streets for water fluoridation — yet was courageous enough to change her mind and speak out once she dug into the data once and for all. Meet Dr. Staci Whitman, a board-certified dentist who takes a whole-body, holistic and functional approach to oral health. In this episode, Staci unpacks the surprising factors that contribute to the decline of our oral health including mouth breathing, hormones, and gut dysbiosis. She explains why these underlying root causes are ignored by conventional dentistry and exactly what we need to be asking about and advocating for at our dentist appointments.

HERE’S THE JUICE:

• Functional vs. conventional dentistry and the importance of both

• Why dental professionals haven't introduced oral microbiome testing as a baseline for all patients 

• How hormone imbalance is leading to an increase in cavities in women and the signs to look for in prevention

• What LPS is and how it contributes to pathogenic bacteria overgrowth

• The fact that we aren’t taught about healthy bacteria and are encouraged to wipe out all our bacteria with products like Listerine 

• Why dentists are sometimes the first people to diagnose Crohn's disease and how your oral health can inform gut health

• What a cavity is and how it forms

• When we may be able to repair cavities without requiring fillings

• Why mouth breathing is so detrimental to our oral health and how to retrain yourself into healthy breathing habits 

• Resources and recommendations for the products and services we should be talking to our dentist about to be proactive about our oral health

I'm back and this week I'm sharing a life-changing conversation I had with an incredibly healing woman. Matisse and I talk about a ground-breaking treatment she's been using on her horse farm up in Garrison, NY: Horse Constellation Therapy. This episode is a deep dive into the soul of this modality that is a potent blend of ancestral therapy, ceremony, and western psychotherapy. Matisse is cooking up some serious magic over at Two Moons Ranch and we get into the details of how she uses soulful space to offer equine-assisted facilitation work for leadership development, creativity, and deep ancestral healing. 

We live in a culture where some would say that we overshare, in a sense… but I think we’re so tired of repressing things that we’re ready to let things go. We’re ready to talk about them. And this gives us a really wonderful, structured way to do that and a safe place.

In Episode 5 we learned that 2020 is a year of completion — the year to wrap up old stories and patterns, and close the door on anything that is holding us back from our next level. Today’s episode is an honest yet daringly playful guide to HOW you can let go of fear and start your new story. If you’ve been feeling stuck or frustrated, like you’re standing in your own way but just can’t take the first step, this is for you. Katharine Hargreaves, founder of The Fearless Experiment teaches us (with full-on gusto) that so much of our fear is actually just blocked excitement. That there’s a part of us just dying to run and jump into the unknown even if we find a million reasons not to. She explains her method of challenging yourself to simply take action by (a) starting with the smallest first step possible, and (b) telling people you trust to hold you accountable. She explains why pressuring yourself to be the “problem solver” is really just a mechanism of survival that we got stuck in along the way; that we should care a lot more about getting to KNOW the problem first rather than judging how well we employ a solution. We need to learn how to hold ourselves in the mystery… experimentation is valuable play, and if we could stop taking ourselves so seriously, we’d do it a lot more. Sometimes the solution you’re seeking looks a lot different than originally expected, but you’ll never know until you act.

Introducing herbal medicine into your life doesn't have to be intimidating! Simply understanding the basics of “herbalism 101” — including the different “classes” of herbs — will empower you to understand your body in a whole new way. Today, Olivia sits down with fellow herbalist Traci Donat of Simples Tonics, to talk about the most nourishing way to get started in your kitchen: by making herbal infusions. We go over the top plants we like to use and what each of them benefits most (for example Schizandra infusions for ‘leaky energy’ and ‘mental diarrhea’ where the brain can’t fully “form” thoughts, Oatstraw infusions for dry skin and joints, and Burdock infusions for liver and lymphatic health). More than anything, we emphasize how simple it is to steep these herbs in a mason jar overnight and reap the incredible nutritional benefits. As a bonus, at the top of the episode Olivia covers a mini lesson where she explains the three ways that herbalists meet a plant and get to know its actions. What can a bitter taste in a plant tell you? What does it mean if a plant is pungent and spicy? What’s the difference between an adaptogen and a nervine? Fellow plant enthusiasts and lovers of learning, this one is for you!

Get ready for part two of our debut episode, The Stress Bible. This week we’re diving even deeper into “sympathetic dominance” (chronic fight or flight mode) and what impact this has on the body physiologically. When you can’t calm down, you can’t “secrete” properly (both hormones and fluids) meaning you may have issues sleeping, digesting, eliminating, or getting horny. Olivia and Nick get personal and candid about what puts them in fight or flight mode and how they cope — especially when they feel guilty for resting. We discuss our generation’s obsession with productivity plus the oh so nuanced PERCEIVED stress (and how to flip the script mentally). Stress can be a huge catalyst for change, so using it wisely and seeing it differently is key to overcoming it. Throughout the episode, we’re constantly talking about hacks and tools you can use to spend more time in PARAsympathetic mode (rest and digest – which is the opposite of sympathetic dominance). These range from CBD and herbs all the way to simply using your own breath. This episode is for those of you who simply can’t relax and feel like you’re always “on.” As a society, we’re forgetting how to slow down and sit with ourselves, so give yourself an intentional break and listen to this episode while taking some deeeeeep belly breaths. You deserve it.

#06 On this episode I sit down with another lovely leo, Lisa Levitt Gainsley of The Lymphatic Message. We’re learning about the lymphatic system. What it is (your body’s largest circulatory system), what it’s responsible for, how it plays a role in digestion, brain detox, waste clearance, hormone health…. AND the major connection between the lymph and diseases like Alzheimer's, Crohn’s, and Ulcerative colitis. Lisa and I have a natural chemistry, so join us as we get the juice on how to move your lymph.

Mainstream wellness trends are only beginning to talk about the life changing Lymphatic system, but ancient systems of medicine such as TCM or Ayurveda, have always seen it as one of the first places to look for stagnation when the body is ill. This episode will help you detect signs of Lymph stagnation/dysfunction, and you’ll learn how to make sure it’s optimized through food, exercise, and at-home self massage. Plus, I list some amazing Ayurveda herbs and foods at the top of the show.

Ep. #05: On today’s episode, I sit down with astrologer Danielle Paige to talk about all things energy, astrology, and the not-so-hidden messages behind our dreams. Have you ever wondered what’s “written in the stars,” aka your birth chart, beyond your zodiac sign? Do you feel a bit psychic, like your intuition is a little TOO spot on? Have you been warned about the famous “Saturn Return” in your late 20s? We’re exploring these topics and more as Danielle gives me a live reading, shares a 2020 energy update (including why January was SO INTENSE), and breaks down astrology far beyond a simple horoscope. We’re getting esoteric today, so get ready for a juicy ride. (Oh, and I hope you get a laugh out of Nick and I roasting the zodiac signs at the top of the episode. Love you all no matter what I said about your sign xoxo)

Ep. #04: On this episode, I sit down with Tana Espino, a licensed therapist and relationship coach. My personal goal is to become a healthier person all around — healthier in terms of my habits, my diet, and perhaps most importantly, my behavior & relationships. On this episode we cover codependency (aka “people addiction”), boundaries, attachment, and control. How attached is too attached? How can we learn to self-soothe and decrease anxiety in our relationships? How can we become happier individually so that we can come together as an even stronger unit? We’re going deep today, so get ready for a juicy ride.

Ep 3. What role does spiritual wellness play in the healing of the physical? In this week's episode Olivia sits down with Dr. Zelina Medina, who became a doctor of acupuncture after being diagnosed with the autoimmune disease lupus. Together we explore the steps she took to heal, and chat about the root cause of autoimmunity through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine. While changing her diet made a huge difference, she credits her progress even more so to shamanic medicine ceremonies such as soul retrieval in order to tackle the many layers of disease. Dr. Z explains that a part of the soul gets lost, or detached from the self, when we experience childhood trauma — this affects us physically, and even gets passed on generationally. Luckily the science is catching up, and thanks to tools like the Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) questionnaire, we now have concrete evidence that early emotional trauma can increase your risk for chronic illness later in life. If you’re someone who likes to connect the dots, this episode will validate and hopefully inspire you.

Olivia interviews naturopathic doctor Dr. Christian Gonzalez to better understand the importance of hormone balance when it comes to cancer prevention. Why should we look out for hormone disruption early in life? What are some common signs of estrogen dominance in women? What are the simple steps we can take TODAY to foster balance? Dr. G shares his top 5 tips for cancer prevention (including why green tea is so important), and gives us the juice about everything from heavy metals, food industry corruption, and tampons all the way to telomeres, eating late and breast self-exams. We also go over your best options for hormone testing and why he recommends yearly thermography.

Ep 117. Statistically, there are 15 core people in our lives who will show up when sh$# hits the fan – our mother’s funeral, a cancer diagnosis – they’re on the next plane. What if instead of filling our schedules working towards buying more things, we spent time nurturing the relationships that are truly all we have? In a modern day loneliness epidemic, lack of connection is becoming a disease, but our generation can turn it around. Sah D’Simone is here to say that even though relationships are hard, families are messy, and conflict is scary, this is the only path back to love and longevity. Sah is a spiritual leader, hospital chaplain who supports those at the end of life, and international best-selling author of Spiritually We. In this episode, he breaks down how to increase our capacity so that we can hold space for our people and right our relationships.

HERE’S THE JUICE:

• Why human connection is a basic biological need (and how we’ve gotten so far away)

• Why pop psychology is doing us a disservice by teaching us to cut off relationships with conflict instead of learning to face it

• The difference between how easy it is to be spiritual alone in meditation vs. at the family dinner table when triggers come up

• How to nurture true connection over complain culture and trauma-bonding relationships

• Why your closest relationships are often the most triggering 

• How to live with integrity and what a lack of integrity looks like in your closest bonds

• Why “conflict is your lovers” how to resolve conflict in a healthy way

• Why time away from your parents may be necessary to grow and heal, but the goal is to always bring it back around

• Why intellectualizing your feelings and making meaning keeps you from feeling your feelings

• How to support someone in grief and the magnitude of holding space for loss

Ep 1. **Podcast Offer** Use code whatsthejuice for 15% off Peace Juice and my Adrenal Recovery Formula as a thank you for listening.

Class is in session with this foundational episode that will help you understand the importance of every topic and interview ahead. We always hear that “stress” and “inflammation” are at the root of every illness, and that’s why we believe there’s power in learning the actual mechanisms by which they affect us. When we know what “stress” is and how to recognize it in the body, only then can we understand the steps needed to flip the script (and why genuine lifestyle changes are more valuable than any pill). Wellness doesn’t need to be expensive, and more than anything we need to change the way we treat ourselves. In this episode, Olivia unpacks the FOUR TRIGGERS that impact your body’s built-in stress response system, the “HPA axis.” This system includes your adrenals, and helps us explain why chronic fatigue is exploding. Expect to hear advice on sleep hygiene, optimizing melatonin production, brain detoxification, strengthening herbs for empathic people who are drained by their environment, as well as some eclectic takes on blue light, sunglasses, and your chakras.

Ep 116. What does “good nutrition” actually mean – and why have we built a BILLION dollar industry that only makes us more confused about how to feed ourselves? Why is it that one day the internet is telling you to be a raw vegan, and 5 years later carnivore is suddenly a panacea? Shyla Cadogan is a registered dietitian focused on making nutrition simple again. Shyla explores the extensive impact that processed foods have on our bodies, while at the same time not putting perfection, whole foods or ‘superfoods’ on a pedestal. She brings some much needed nuance (and humor) to the question: what the heck should I eat and who should I listen to?

HERE’S THE JUICE:

• Shyla’s transition from intense vegan diets to an unattached, simple way of fueling
• The importance of finding the middle ground with nutrition rather than opting into extremes
• Why nutrition professionals have a duty to keep things professional rather than trying to be cutting edge or go viral
• How the concept of intuitive eating has gotten warped and why most of us are practicing it all wrong and feeling bad about it
• How you can be anti-diet-culture and still not eat a lot of processed foods
• Why Shyla says “a true relationship with food is having no relationship with it at all”
• The importance of not shaming people for being imperfect in their health decisions and educating in a considerate manner
• The history of “superfoods” and why the term is a bit of a scam
• The distrust that the public currently has in dietitians (ie. thinking they’re paid by big pharma!)
• How processed foods were originally created for war times and food corporations have used that opportunity to exploit us
• How cultural foods play a role in healthy eating

Ep 115. Are you struggling with chronic, unexplained symptoms that no treatment seems to alleviate (and actually makes worse)? Do you feel like your body reacts abnormally to stress or changes in your environment with ‘flares’ of symptoms that come in cycles? Understanding histamine intolerance, also called MCAS or Mast Cell Activation Syndrome may help guide you in the right direction. Michelle Shapiro is a functional dietitian who has helped over 1000+ clients reverse their anxiety and heal long-standing gut and immune issues. In this episode, Michelle unpacks what it means to live in a highly sensitive body (spoiler, she lives in one!) and shares hopeful solutions for those of us who struggle with largely ignored autonomic disorders such as MCAS, POTS and hypermobility.

Ep 113. Have you ever wanted to experience spiritual growth from psychedelics but don’t actually want to trip? Are you stuck at a crossroads in life and not sure which path you’re meant to take? Meet the woman who connects you with specific rituals you can do in nature to find your deepest answers without ever having to take Ayahuasca. Katherine Hargreaves is a practitioner of West African divination, an ancient method of translation that helps people tap into information, messages, and ancestors on the other side by reconnecting us with the elements of nature. As you complete the rituals you're assigned (whether that’s throwing milk and honey into the ocean with a prayer, or screaming your anger into a hole in the woods to give it back to the earth), you quiet your mind, clear your physical channel, and are able to hear the guidance of your soul, your ancestors, and the spirits of the earth.

HERE’S THE JUICE:

- The wild ritual that Olivia did on a mountainside to help her get clarity on her career

- How rituals prepare us to receive messages and transformation in the years after

- Chronological vs deep time and why we can’t expect things to happen on our timelines  

- How to incorporate elements into rituals for specific purposes (like ocean water, honey, dirt, etc.)

- How to complete a honey ritual if you’re looking for a new place to live

- How Katharine got initiated into the closed practice of West African shamanic tradition

- The idea that nature can be JUST as powerful as psychedelics 

- Exactly how to start noticing nature speaking to you 

- Easy, tangible ways to work with your ancestors, like creating an altar 

- The importance of asking for guidance out loud – to nature and your ancestors

- How to know if divination work is right for you in this moment

Are you struggling with creating the space to feel your emotions instead of numbing them? Krista Williams is a coach, podcast host, and close friend who shares how the “mother wound” shows up in our social dynamics and the way we feel safe in the world, why codependency extends far beyond our partner, and the impact of Internal Family Systems (IFS) also known as ‘parts work’ on getting in touch with your inner mother.

HERE’S THE JUICE:

• What the “mother wound” is and how it is crucial for developing female friendships & feeling safe in the world

• Why codependency stems from a desire for safety, stability, and connection in intimate relationships

• How using internal family systems (IFS) can help us hear our true “inner mother” who has acceptance for all parts of us

• How to recognize your inner voices like the critic, perfectionist, child, and rebel

• The challenges of adjusting to different versions of yourself, especially as we change and grow in the context of long term relationships

• Exactly how to create space to feel your emotions and the questions to ask yourself to start processing them

• The power of curiosity & asking questions in supporting your friends to come to their OWN conclusions, instead of going into fixer mode

• How a darkness retreat taught Krista how to self regulate and process her emotions for the first time
