  • 564. This Is Your Brain on Food: Connecting Mental Health & Nutrition with Dr. Uma Naidoo

    Our guest today is the brilliant Uma Naidoo, MD, a Harvard board-certified psychiatrist, professional chef, author, and nutrition specialist. Dr. Uma's book is called This is Your Brain on Food. It's a full guide to the surprising foods that fight things like depression, PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, and more. 

    We go super cutting edge in this one as we talk about the undeniable relationship between our mental health and diet/nutrition.

    We start with her own health journey and integrated practice before getting honest with a few familiar faces in our cupboards at home – coffee, alcohol, sugar, seed oils, etc. – myth busting and truth telling on what’s good, and what isn’t, for our mental wellbeing.

    We all know the difference between feeling good after eating good, and feeling bad after eating poorly. Listen in to get the science on why that happens, and how we can design our diets (not restrict them) to unlock our best selves. 

    We also talk about:

    • Relatively new field of nutritional psychiatry 
    • A lesson from a patient 
    • Uma’s cancer diagnosis and treatment
    • Precision-based integrated nutrition 
    • Connection between mental health and food
    • Toxicity of a leaky gut (and fixing it)
    • The brain chemistry of stress and sugar
    • Fast food and marketing messages
    • The serotonin hypothesis
    • Pros and cons of coffee
    • Nutrition in schools, then and now
    • Gaps in the current medical system 
    • Eat the rainbow

        • 563. What Are You Using To Build Boundaries – Love or Fear?

          Are you building healthy boundaries, or putting up restricting walls? With the former taking center stage amongst the collective, it’s an important question to ask. 

          This episode was inspired by the journey Krista’s been on to have deep and real intimacy in her relationships – a growing desire to untangle defensive mechanisms that create negative static between people and move toward a more heart-centered exchange with the people in and around her life. 

          The truth is that some forms of boundary building have evolved into a method for gaslighting ourselves, a means to create a cozy victimhood to hide away in, an excuse for closing ourselves off from things, situations, or people that may expand us.

          We also talk about:

          • A different angle of boundary building 
          • What boundaries are meant to be
          • Honesty and open heartedness
          • Building walls makes a victim 
          • How to receive a boundary
          • The need for control
          • Wall building instance from Krista’s life
          • Good friction between two people
          • Bad examples from The Hills
          • Leaning into love and connectedness

            • 562. Meet The Z’s: An Intimate Channeling with Lee Harris (PART 2)

              Earlier this week on the podcast, K+L spoke with Lee Harris, renowned channel and author of Conversations with The Z's. With luck, and maybe some divine intervention, Lee received a second download – a message from The Z’s urging him to channel, live, here on the show. 

              This episode, part two of our conversation, presents his channeling of The Z’s in full – a very special honor and one we’re so thrilled to share with you today. 

              Expecting and prompting them for a general message to the collective, K+L are surprised with an intimate and intuitive perspective on their own relationship (and relationships) past, present, and future. As specific as some of their observations are, The Z’s share paradigm-breaking lessons which ring true for all of us.

              We also talk about:

              • The Z’s address K+L
              • Poking and stoking the fire
              • Grounding the energy
              • Extraordinary sisterhood 
              • A message to the collective 
              • Symbology of the number 30
              • Resonance of community
              • Influence of the collective
              • Healing the divine feminine
              • The love shared between K+L

                  • 561. The Energetics of the New Human Soul with Lee Harris (PART I)

                    Today, we welcome back a cosmically gifted former guest to the podcast. Lee Harris is a channel to higher, multidimensional voices known as The Z’s. They’re responsible for his current work, a book series titled Conversations with The Z's, and for his incredibly informed and introspective perspective on the world around us – seen and unseen. 

                    The energetic give-and-take among these three activated hearts flows like music. He’s truly a mind-blowing conversationalist, and seems to pick up on a few psychic vibrations throughout the session. 

                    K+L interview the Z’s through Lee in this, part one, of their expansive conversation. Look out for part two on Thursday of this week to hear a live channeling, which takes us even deeper into the energetics of the new human soul – and beyond.

                    • A channeling meant for a book series
                    • Honoring divine timing in life

                        • 560. Decoding the Universe and Tapping Into Ancient Wisdoms

                          Things are about to get very galactic, friends, as world-renowned cosmic spirituality expert, Dr. Jude Currivan, joins the show for a very special, very expansive conversation.

                          Dr. Currivan is a cosmologist, a planetary healer, a futurist, and an international bestselling author, lauded for The Cosmic Hologram and now celebrating her latest release, The Story of Gaia, which also sounds like a must read. 

                          This conversation takes us to the truly endless, through the galaxies and cosmos – and back to the small, the simple, as we seek to understand and apply the science of unity, and the innate oneness that connects us all. 

                          This one really helps us to incorporate science and research into modern consciousness and allows us to see it from a different angle than I think we do now – all the angles at once, really. As we learn today, it’s not always easy, but it is very simple. Enjoy.

                          We also talk about:

                          • Her first supernormal experience as a child
                          • Studying quantum physics at six 
                          • Becoming an accountant! (and then back to the mystic)
                          • Studying the ancient wisdoms

                          • Cracking open an evolved consciousness
                          • Seeing the universal patterns 
                          • Cosmic reset
                          • The science of unity 
                          • Bringing connection into our lives
                          • Honoring the story of Gaia

                              • 559. The Clearing Conversation: A Practice for Improving ALL of Your Relationships

                                In this intimate solo episode, Lindsey unpacks clearing conversations – what they are, why we should have them, and how they can evolve our relationships. You’ll learn all about what clearing conversations are as she opens her heart about how the practice has helped her own relationships evolve and expand for the better.

                                Let’s be honest, it can be challenging to initiate clearing conversations; Lindsey shares how she overcomes these fears out of a place of love for the person on the other side. We also hear about how K+L use this practice to keep their own relationship strong.

                                Be prepared to take several mental notes from this one as we get a living example of the high value that K+L place on their connection with one another, and several actionable takeaways that we can apply in our own lives to build a stronger bridge of trust with the people closest to us.

                                We also talk about:

                                • Who we should have clearing conversations with
                                • Realizing relationship patterns
                                • Working through the hard part 
                                • Processing your side beforehand
                                • How to prepare for a conversation
                                • Benefits of movement 
                                • Understanding the other person’s perspective

                                  • 558. Kundalini Awakenings, A Course in Miracles and Infinity with Aaron Abke

                                    Today on Almost 30, we welcome our amazing friend, Aaron Abke, back to the pod. Aaron is a teacher, a Youtuber, and a conscious influencer who helps people free their mind, empower their heart, and expand their consciousness. 

                                    Aaron’s vast knowledge of spirituality stems from his own awakenings and deep research on the topics he shares with us in this episode. On a mission to help others embody their true nature, Aaron recently released 4D University, an online academy for consciousness expansion guiding its students to attain 4th density consciousness.

                                    This one touches on all of our favorite topics in the realm of the mystic, and although Aaron is a guru, he’s also excellent at helping others digest these dense topics by taking the time to explain while understanding and holding the listener’s perspective in his heart.

                                    No wonder he’s an incredible teacher! 

                                    Before hitting play, we suggest taking a deep breath and opening your mind to what Aaron has to share with the world. We have no doubt you’ll be encouraged by this one!

                                          Today, we are thrilled to welcome back our brilliant friend and whole-body wellness expert, Dr. Stephen Cabral, founder and CEO of EquiLife, one of the fastest online functional medicine practices in the world offering the ability to purchase at-home lab testing and nutritional supplements previously only available through your doctor.

                                          He’s also a naturopathic doctor, Ayurvedic functional medicine and integrative health practitioner, and the author of The Rain Barrel Effect.

                                          Dr. Cabral’s contagious passion for wellness was developed out of his own health journey, facing challenging and severe health complications at the young age of 17. Now, on a mission to uncover the root causes of why his own patients feel stuck and unable to attain their goals, he guides them through the Cabral Concept of "Change Your Body - Change Your Life.” 

                                          By first seeking to rebalance both body and mind, he helps put others on a path of healing.

                                                      In this episode, Krista shares her journey with alcohol consumption, and why she stopped drinking alcohol during her spiritual awakening when she was 26 years old.
