Digest This

302: If you avoid corn due to it being GMO, full of mold and mycotoxins, or it's just hard to digest - enter corn back into your life! Today's episode we are diving deep into how you can enjoy corn again, specifically corn chips, with the maker and co-founder of MASA Chips. Steven Rofrano explains the differences between organic and non-GMO once and for all, and that even if corn is organic, it doesn't necessarily mean it's easy to digest and mold free. 

Nixtamalization....have you heard of it? Well that's what we discuss in today's episode and why you want Nixtamalization done to your corn to get rid of mold, lectins, and antinutrients. Plus, Steven goes hard on Siete Chips at the very end and bashes....or should I say, exposes, what's really in Siete chips! So stay tuned until the very end!

294: If you struggle with candida, are low in iron or have been diagnosed with anemia, or perhaps you're pregnant and have been told to take iron supplements, I urge you to listen to this episode before taking additional steps. Morley Robbins is back after 2 years of initially being on my podcast back in 2023 and we dive into the confusing topic of why so many are anemic despite getting iron infusions, taking iron supplements, and even eating red meat and liver without any improvements. This episode may be the answer you're looking for when it comes to iron deficiency. In fact, you probably have an overload of iron but are missing other elements in your diet that facilitate iron absorption and iron in the blood vs. iron in the tissue. Just like certain vitamins are fat soluble which means you need fat to be able to absorb those vitamins, iron needs other co-factors to be able to be utilized properly. 

Oh, and I know I mentioned candida! And if you have candida, most likely you are anemic and if you're anemic, you probably have candida! This is not a doom and gloom episode, but quite an inspiring one because this gives hope and insight to those looking for answers. 

Topics Discussed:

→ Why iron isn’t the cause of anemia

→ The difference between iron in the blood vs iron in the body tissue

→ Iron recycling 

→ The role our spleen has on the body and iron

→ How to support the spleen naturally

→ What causes our spleen to not function properly 

→ Mind body connection

→ Heme iron vs non-heme (synthetic) iron

→ Why fortified products are not good for you

→ Why iron infusions could do more harm than good

→ The role copper plays in iron absorption

→ Why donating blood is beneficial for our bodies

→ Why getting iron tests while pregnant is inaccurate

→ Why we need retinol and beta-carotene

→ The candida and iron connection
