Beyond The Pain

In this week's episode, Daina shares her journey from being a civil engineer to becoming a nutrition therapist, driven by her own health issues. She discusses the connection between food and health, particularly in relation to skin conditions. 

Daina emphasizes the importance of gut health in overall well-being and shares her personal experience in healing her own acne through holistic approaches. She expresses frustration with conventional medicine and the conflicting information she encountered. 

Daina concludes by highlighting the positive changes in her life and her focus on helping others with their skin issues.

It was really great for me to have a dialogue with someone who is as passionate as I am to help people overcome acne, so they can regain their self-esteem and confidence and help avoid a life-threatening disease in the not too distant future.

This week's episode I had the great pleasure to speak with Sally Norton, author of "Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Super Foods Are Making You Sick ' and How to Get Better".

"Toxic Superfoods" stands out to me as one of the best and most important books ever written on nutrition and believe me, I have read many nutrition books.

In this week's episode, I share the amazing, inspirational story of fitness expert, Fitz Koehler.

Fitz shares her story of how she overcame breast cancer, including the story of how she successfully got through 15-months of torturous treatment with the aid of exercise, nutrition, a positive mindset, a great outlook on life and seeking joy. 

We also had an interesting debate over red meat and whether the science supports the claim that red meat consumption causes cancer. Suffice to say, we respectfully agreed to disagree like adults on that subject. 

After the interview, Fitz kindly sent me a link to the science that suggests that red meat increases the risk of colon cancer by 28%. I have included the link in the show notes. I have also included a link to a critique by Dr Paul Saladino of the research that makes those claims.

I would never suggest you believe anything I or my guests say, but would always suggest you do your own research and come to your own conclusions.  The links provided are good place to begin research into that subject, should you wish to do so.

I really hope you enjoy this episode and take inspiration from it.

She is passionate about sharing the message that our bodies can heal from serious health issues… when we have the right support.
