Whether through a friend, on social media, or the most recent docu-series “Unwell” on Netflix- chances are you have been educated on the potent healing properties of these concentrated plant blends, called essential oils.

Today we sit with Immunologist, Dr. Steph, to learn more.

So what do we do about these major red flags for our future generations? What does alternative medicine look like for neurology?

 “Sleep is a time to reallocate our memories and a time to heal. We don’t actually heal a lot through the day, our body is planning on doing that during deep sleep.”

Sleep is one of the pillars of health, yet it is so bio-individual for everyone. While one person is struggling on 4 hours of sleep, someone else is finishing a marathon. So what gives? Is there the “perfect recipe” for sleep? Today we sit down with Todd and Tara Youngblood to discuss their findings on what it means to get good sleep.

We have heard the downfalls of conventional farming when it comes to human and planet health - So what do we do about this? What is regenerative agriculture? What is the true cost of the food we consume? How can we restore the nutrients back into our food and soil? Today we sit down with regenerative expert and cattle rancher Eric Perner to discuss the current condition of our agricultural practices and what changes we can make.  

Eric  is co-founder and CEO of REP Provisions, a CPG company solely focused on producing foods that are sourced from regenerative ranches and farms. It is their mission to regenerate grassland ecosystems and create healthy nutrient dense foods in the process. They believe that healthy lands lead to healthy lives, and that taste, nutrition, and convenience shouldn't be a compromise.

“Health is not just the absence of diseases, it’s being able to live the best life you know how to.”

-Dr Janna

We are not ultimately bound to the diseases that have been passed down to us, and we have the power to change our genes. Today we sit down with Clean Juice’s Naturopathic Doctor, Dr Jana, to explore what it is like to treat patients integratively.  Medicine should be about having options to heal and thrive, and that is the ultimate goal of integrative medicine.

Oils are a very important part of any diet, being that they can be the catalyst of health or culprit of inflammation. So when Greg Vetter set out to find a clean salad dressing on the market in 2009 and there was none, his mission was clear cut. Thus, he pulled his brothers together to launch Tessemae’s.. Today we sit down with all three Vetter brothers to talk on a personal note about the success of their products and the accessibility to clean good food for all. 

“I Went to all the local grocery stores to see if clean salad dressing existed, and it didn't. Clean salad dressing was not a thing and I was in shock. So I called my brothers, wife, and parents and said “We’re going to start a clean salad dressing.”
