If you've been with me for a while, you know I've often sung praises about the benefits of functional mushrooms. And today, we're back in the fungi kingdom with Adam Bramlage of Flow State Micro; shedding light on the intriguing world of psilocybin mushrooms and microdosing.

From boosting your mental health to rejuvenating your physical well-being, mushrooms seem to do it all. With tens of thousands of fungi species known (and many more yet to be discovered), there's a lot more to this kingdom than meets the eye. Adam's journey through the world of mushrooms is both enlightening and fascinating, and you'll gain a new understanding of how to work with mushrooms in an approachable way.

Adam pivoted into psychedelics after successfully using microdosing to cure his own treatment resistant depression and enhance his physical and mental performance, and today he works to educate and offer resources to help people around the world achieve positive results with these tried and true practices.

Adam discusses:

• His background and journey into microdosing and how therapeutic it was for him
• Where to start – psilocybin over LSD, the importance of understand strains, and how much to take
• Microdosing vs. Minidosing, consuming alcohol while microdosing, and other considerations

Today, we’re diving deep into a topic that's not just crucial but also alarmingly on the rise in our society- neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and Lewy body dementia. These aren’t just concerns in old age anymore; they’re a growing reality for many, even hitting a bit too close to home for yours truly, and early detection can make a world of difference.

Enter Dr. Kellyann Niotis. A trailblazer in her field, Dr. Niotis is the first fellowship-trained preventative neurologist specializing in risk reduction strategies for neurodegenerative disorders. She spearheads the neurology program at Dr. Peter Attia’s acclaimed medical practice and is a fervent brain health researcher. Surprisingly, she’s somewhat of a lone wolf, given that preventative neurology isn’t yet recognized as a medical specialty – a fact that is both shocking and a damn shame, considering the escalating prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases.

Dr. Niotis is here to share her groundbreaking strategies and research, shining a light on a field that’s calling out for attention and innovation. We’ll explore why preventative neurology is an unsung hero in medicine, discuss the impact of early detection, and share invaluable knowledge on battling neurodegenerative diseases. Dr. Niotis’s insights are not just enlightening; they’re essential in a time when these disorders are on the rise.

Correction: Alzheimer's is expected to double again by 2040, not 2030 as stated during the interview.

Dr. Kellyann discusses:

• Why early intervention is so important with neurodegenerative diseases and what you can do to catch the signs
• Understanding the factors that drive neurodegenerative diseases personally
• The link between hormone replacement therapy and breast cancer/Alzheimers
• Maximizing your brain’s real estate

Real talk minisode!  I’m sitting down with my longtime friend Nicole Fiscella, to chat about what’s on our minds these days – from teaching kids about truly healthy eating to the struggles of discovering new food allergies as adults. Sucks! Beyond food, we dig into my recent chat with Bea Dixon, expanding on the topic of medical gaslighting. As women, how many times have we felt unheard in the medical world? And that’s just the tip of the iceberg – there’s so much more I can’t wait to explore with Nicole.

Guest Bio:

Since wrapping her character, Isabel Coates, on the iconic television show Gossip Girl, actor-model Nicole Fiscella, MS, CNS has lived internationally, earned a Master’s degree in nutrition, and started a family. Nicole - a New Yorker in heart and origin - changed pace and now resides in Boulder, Colorado with her husband of 13 years and 3 young children.

Nicole is on a mission for herself and like-minded women who feel ready for a new chapter. In order to navigate the path towards overall health and wellness, Nicole leans into connecting her nutrition background with current mental health modalities.

Nicole discusses:

• The challenge of deciphering misleading food labels and ensuring our kids eat truly healthy snacks.
• Issues women face in the medical system, from systemic challenges to medical gaslighting.
• The vital role of self-advocacy and preparation in medical appointments for improved care.

Hey, people with vaginas – we are GOING there.  Have you ever found yourself in a situation with a doctor where you know something is wrong and you're just not being heard? Sad to say it, but you’re not alone. Bea Dixon– the CEO, Co-Founder, and Chief Innovation Officer of The Honey Pot Company, the personal wellness brand made by humans with vaginas, for humans with vaginas ®-created her company’s hero product after being misdiagnosed and deprioritized until she took matters into her own hands.  

We delve into the often-overlooked issue of medical gaslighting and misogyny. It’s alarming how many women find their concerns trivialized or dismissed by medical professionals, and women of color face this even more frequently. It’s time to talk about it!  We swap some horror stories and some hilarious moments, and I’m grateful that Bea is creating all the products for keeping everything downtown clean and sparkling.  

Today, The Honey Pot Company’s plant-derived products can be found in 4.6 million U.S. homes and in retailers nationwide.  BRAVO, BEA!
