228: This episode is different from most as Dr. Austin Lake and I discuss how the feminist movement perhaps does more harm than good to women's health and WHY women are more prone to autoimmune diseases. We get into the nitty gritty of how our society has driven women into becoming the perfect storm in accumulating more stress and responsibilities than men and the domino effect that plays in our overall health as families. Dr. Austin and I also dive into our own faith and how that has been super important in our own lives and the question of "Why does God not heal us even if we have been praying for healing for years?" - the answer to this may not be definite, but it sure brings hope to those looking for healing and relief especially if you are a believer....but even if you're not, our conversation went beyond our faith as we also dove into if coffee was a friend or foe (especially for women), if fasting is healthy, how we can avoid toxins recirculating in our body, ideas to help you save money all while saving your health. 

We went in all directions in our conversations and you will get a bite of everything in this episode, so I hope you listen all the way through because I have no doubt every person that does will get something out of it they can take away and apply to their own lives. 

Topics Discussed:

→ Why women have more health issues than men

→ Saving money while prioritizing your health

→ Why God doesn't heal us even when we have prayed for healing

→ The importance of slowing down

→ How society has made our health worse

→ How coffee can be our friend

→ Fasting (good or bad?)

→ Individual health needs

227: Why are we seeing more “made with bioengineered ingredients” on food packages? HINT: Nothing has changed with the ingredients—the law has changed! Companies are now required to disclose if their products contain or are made with GMOs (whereas, in the past, it was not mandatory to disclose this). Today, I’m going over how to spot a non-GMO item, even if it’s not certified “non-GMO,” and tips to help you make the best decision for you and your family while grocery shopping. 

Topics Discussed:

⁠⁠→ WHY we are seeing more “bioengineered” ingredients in food  

→ Label laws and mandates  

→ List of bioengineered foods  

→ GMOs vs selective breeding  

→ Organic certifications  

→ Non-GMO Project certification  

→ Why certifications aren’t a “free pass”  

→ Why certain brands don’t have certifications  

→ How to choose the best foods in grocery stores  

→ Tips for buying non-GMO foods (how to spot them)

225: In this episode, you'll discover all the benefits propolis can offer for your body and immune system. If you're looking for an alternative to antibiotics, antiviral medications, immune support, digestive support, sleep aids, and even help to combat and detox your system from microplastics, keep listening. In this interview, I sit down with Carly Kremer, the founder of Beekeeper's Naturals, a holistic supplement company that integrates and uses bee-derived products such as propolis, royal jelly, raw honey, and bee pollen synergistically to support the immune system, as well as address issues like PMS, menopause, sleep, energy, leaky gut, brain health, and even fertility.

We also debunk the myth of glyphosate in honey, discuss whether organic honey really exists, explore whether the sugar in honey causes blood sugar spikes, and so much more. It's flu season, and if you're someone who always gets sick or struggles with an autoimmune system, this episode might provide the information you need for better health. I can't wait for you to listen! And remember to share this episode with anyone you think could benefit from it—we all can benefit from better health.

223: In this episode, we not only discuss why you're experiencing unexplained, mysterious symptoms that no doctor can pinpoint, but I also share my own health struggles that I've been dealing with since 2020—struggles I haven't shared much about on Instagram or other social platforms. There seems to be a HUGE link between people who had COVID, like I did back in 2020, and current health issues that either haven’t gone away or only seem to flare up intermittently.

If you've been dealing with symptoms like exercise intolerance, a racing heartbeat, anxiety that comes out of nowhere (even when you know you're not fearful or anxious about anything), insomnia, waking up to pee 3-5 times during the night, or symptoms of a UTI but the tests always come back negative, then keep listening. These side effects and reactions are just a few of the many random, mysterious issues that could be linked to histamine intolerance, which is also tied to COVID.

I speak with Michelle Shapiro, who explains in more detail what histamine intolerance is, which foods and wellness routines trigger it (such as exercise, vitamin C IVs, drinking bone broth, and other popular “wellness regimens” many of us do) that could actually be hindering your health and causing these so-called “flare-ups.” We discuss why these symptoms may come and go in flares, and why some days or months we feel fine, but then suddenly experience a loss of energy, skin rashes, and chronic gut issues that last for weeks.

Speaking of gut issues—if you feel like your digestion has never been the same since you had COVID, there could be a connection. Michelle breaks it all down and explains how we can take steps to get our lives back. There’s good news, though!

Please save this episode to reference later, share it with a friend or family member, and post it on social media so others can benefit from listening.

→ ⁠Long COVID (people are STILL suffering!)
