July 02, 2020 The Microbiome and Obesity or The Gut Butt Connection | Ep. 9
In this episode we discuss how the microbiome directly impacts your weight and your health. It is essential to understand this connection for your health and any weight issues that you might be having. As Hippocrates said over 2000 years ago "All diseases begin in the gut". Your weight issues are a symptom of metabolic derangements and systemic inflammation. As we always say "if you want to lose your butt, you have to heal your gut".

June 25, 2020 How to find the perfect diet for you | Ep. 8
There is no successful one-size-fits-all diet plan. There are many things to consider when trying to determine what foods you should (and should not) be eating: food sensitivities and intolerances, gut health needs, activity levels, toxin exposures, stage of life, GI surgeries, and many other things. The "perfect" diet is one that is perfect for you and you only. You are unique, and your dietary needs should reflect and accommodate your lifestyle, environmental exposure, and genetics (to a small degree). We discuss our strategy for determining the "perfect" diet.

June 15, 2020 Weight Loss Series: Top 10 Common Pitfalls Overview | Ep. 7
This is the first in a series of podcasts explaining the common mistakes and misconceptions regarding weight loss. There is a TON of misinformation out there on the internet. Overcoming obesity and weight-related issues requires a holistic approach and a sound understanding of how lifestyle choices and environmental exposures contribute to metabolic derangements and systemic inflammation. MDs were not taught this, and many well-meaning health enthusiasts know just enough to be dangerous.

June 09, 2020 The First Step In Overcoming Any Chronic Inflammatory Disease | Ep. 6
A look at the first steps that are needed to overcome chronic inflammation that is associated with most of today's chronic health issues. No matter the "ism", "itis" or ICD-10 code, gut health should always be a key focus when reducing systemic inflammation and regaining immune balance. Hippocrates got it right over 2000 years ago when he said, "All diseases begin in the gut." And there are many lifestyle behaviors and environmental exposures that impact gut health other than what you put into your mouth. It's much more than taking a probiotic. Much, much more.

May 29, 2020 Med School Brainwashing and Why Your Doctor Can't Fix You | Ep. 5
Not many understand the education, training, and culture of medical school. If they did, they would better understand the poor health outcomes, especially when it comes to treating chronic disease. Root causes of disease, which are most often lifestyle-related, are rarely addressed in medical school and residency. The culture of medical school is one of elitism, blown-up egos, and dismissiveness of anything deemed "natural" or anti pharmaceutical. Don't you dare go talkin' about herbs, vitamins, food as medicine! Bow ties go hand-in-hand with the term "idiopathic."

May 18, 2020 Censorship, Misinformation and Always Follow the Money | Ep. 3
It's difficult to know who to trust. That's why it is always important to do your own research and to be cognizant that we have been lied to before and it's going to happen again and again. You must learn to have a healthy amount of skepticism with any advice that is being given. Especially from the "experts". The story line is always influenced by money, special interest and confident ignorance. When it comes to your health or really anything that directly effects your life, remember to "love many, trust few and paddle your own canoe"
