This show features the incredibly inspiring story of Dr. Terry Wahls, a clinical professor of medicine, author, and living testament to the power of healing your body with real food.

A few years ago, Terry was sentenced to a tilt-recline wheelchair with progressive Multiple Sclerosis. Today, she bikes to work, speaks all over the country, and teaches others to reverse degenerative conditions through the Wahls Protocol.

On today's show, we talk about:

• When you should question your doctor's advice
• How to mentally adjust from a loss of athleticism
• How to reverse degenerative disease using the power of real food
• Changing your diet to combat “aging diseases”
• How body chemistry is like legos
• and much more!

Alright, let's go hang out with Dr. Wahls.

This show is with a personal friend of mine who I think has the best name ever for a brain and learning expert—Jim Kwik.

We'll be talking about how you can tune up your brain, on the spot, in real time... and what it was like to hang with the entire cast of X-Men.

On this show, author and expert in developmental psychology Karly Randolph Pitman teaches us how to heal the emotional roots of eating disorders through unconditional self love, a path she calls, “Growing human kindness.”

Karly struggled with bulimia, binge eating, sugar addiction, emotional eating, body hatred, and weight obsession for over 20 years. A speaker, coach, and workshop leader, her passion is practicing, teaching, living and spreading the message of unconditional love.

Karly is the author of several books and programs on gentle healing, including Overcoming Sugar Addiction, The 30 Day Lift, and Heal Overeating.

In today’s show, we chat about:

• How to confront and defuse rabid sugar cravings
• What to do when you encounter a cookie in the conference room
• How to come to terms with a history of eating disorders and body imageissues
• And the no willpower way to build impulse control

Can praying over your food change the way you eat?

This show with Nick Polizzi will turn your idea of alternative healing on its head.

In the heart of the Amazon, “alternative” medicine healing ceremonies can produce baffling results (even for skeptics of the Western World like me).

Nick Polizzi is the director of the documentary, The Sacred Science. His work explores holistic alternatives to conventional medicine. His most recent film is The Sacred Science, which follows a group of terminally ill patients who searched for healing in the Amazon jungle.

Why do we eat when we’re not hungry?

Can a tomato change a child’s life?

“Yes,” says artist and designer Ron Finley, also known as the Gangsta Gardener.

Ron lives in South Central Los Angeles and quips that it’s “home of drive-thrus and drive-bys.” But Ron wanted to change that.

A few years ago, Ron planted a curbside garden in the strip of soil in front of his house in LA. The city tried to shut it down. So Ron accidentally started a revolution and changed the game of urban gardening. Now he’s teaching others to grow real food in urban landscapes and it’s transforming “food deserts” into “food forests”... one garden at a time.
