247: Have you ever wondered if the foods you’re eating are secretly plotting against you? Okay, maybe not secretly, but when it comes to food combining, some people believe that certain combos could cause chaos in your digestive system. We’re talking about things like steak and potatoes, dairy and seafood, or even melons with anything at all. These food combos have been labeled “bad,” but is there any truth to these claims, or are we just overthinking it?

In today’s episode I’m diving deep into the ancient (and still popular) world of food combining. We’ll break down what’s real, what’s wacky, and what might actually help (spoiler: some of these rules actually make sense). Is the idea of eating fruit alone really the key to good digestion? Or is it just a recipe for a very lonely snack? We’ll explore the science, the myths, and the occasional stomach ache, all while figuring out what works for YOU.

Topics Discussed:

→ What food combining actually means and where it came from

→ Common “bad” combos like steak and potatoes, dairy with seafood, and melons with anything

→ The science behind digestion and why some combos might cause discomfort

→ The case for eating fruit alone 

→ How food combining might improve digestion for some people

→ Real-life tips for balancing your meals without stressing over every bite

→ Myths debunked and practical takeaways for everyday eating

244: In today's episode, Matthew Gay, creator of Fit Church United, joins me as we discuss the physical health needs of the church and ways to implement what the Bible says about health into daily life. A lot of Bible references are mentioned in this episode, and I realize many listening may not share the same biblical values and principles. It's certainly not a typical Digest This interview, but it may interest you because this topic isn’t discussed enough in today’s society.

Many people in the church struggle with living a healthy lifestyle, and Matthew shares ways we can be a light in our communities to help influence change in our groups and personal lives. We talk about whether eating meat is prohibited, what the Daniel Diet actually is, and how you can apply biblical principles to your own health journey. I think this was an interesting take on health and fitness—one that could provide the motivation you need to jumpstart your healthy journey.

Topics Discussed:

→ The health of our potential military men

→ Back to basics with health

→ What the Bible says about food

→ How to implement a healthy lifestyle in the church

→ Tips to help others not struggle

→ Getting accountability in your health journey

→ The Daniel Diet

→ Fasting

→ Tips to make a healthy change in your church, community, and home

243: Today’s episode is a deep dive into my latest obsession: methylene blue. Oh yes, you heard me right. I’ve been using it to fight off UTIs (it works wonders!) and trust me, it’s not just any supplement. Methylene blue is a potent antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial powerhouse that’s been around since the late 1800s.

It’s a brain booster, improving memory, focus, and mood. It’s even being explored as a possible treatment for malaria and other infections. And, drumroll please… it’s got serious anti-aging effects too! We’re talking mitochondria, energy, and slowing down the aging process.

I’ll break it all down for you: how it works in the brain, the anti-aging potential, and of course, the side effects (gotta keep it real). If you’ve been looking for something to support your health in 2025, you’re going to want to tune in. Oh, and if you’ve been hearing me rave about my blue tongue on Instagram? That’s all part of my methylene blue journey. Trust me, it's more than just a funky color.

Topics Discussed:

→ The surprising benefits of methylene blue

→ Brain booster: memory, focus, and mood

→ Anti-aging effects and mitochondrial support

→ How methylene blue fights infections and promotes neuroprotection

→ Potential side effects and safe usage tips

242: If you have breast cancer, know someone who does, if it runs in your family, or perhaps you or someone you know has already gone through breast cancer treatment, this episode is one to save and definitely listen to. Breast cancer affects EVERYONE—not just the person who has it. Because if we don’t have it, we most likely know someone who does or will. It’s not something to take lightly, and sadly, there’s a lot of misinformation out there about treatment and detection. That’s why I have Dr. Jenn Simmons on the show today. She exposes and explains why mammograms can actually increase your risk of getting breast cancer, why soy doesn’t contribute to breast cancer, the connection between birth control and breast cancer, whether HRT is harmful or helpful, and the types of HRT we should be getting after breast cancer treatment. We also cover alternative options for mammograms. Plus, we go into how to do a self-examination, why every woman, young and old, should be doing this monthly, and the right time to examine yourself—because that matters too!

This might be one of the most important podcast episodes you’ll ever listen to.

Topics Discussed:

→ Are mammograms causing cancer?

→ How to detect breast cancer without radiation

→ Do underwire bras contribute to breast cancer?

→ Do mastectomies actually prevent you from getting breast cancer?

→ What we’re getting wrong when it comes to breast cancer detection

→ How to examine your own breasts

→ Things women are doing that increase our risk for breast cancer and how to minimize that risk

→ HRT myths

→ Soy and breast cancer myths

→ Caring for yourself or others AFTER breast cancer treatment

→ IVF and hormonal birth control

→ Stress and its link to breast cancer

→ Becoming empowered

240: If you are thinking about quitting alcohol or perhaps you just did Dry January and are considering "what now"? - this is the episode for you! Today I have Amanda Kudo on the show and she shares her own personal story about quitting alcohol when she never really was an alcoholic to begin with, but she experienced so many health benefits including not having "crunchy muscles" (and we'll get into what she means by that), more energy, weight loss, better sleep, clearer skins, and so much, more. Amanda was only drinking socially on the weekends but she still wasn't feeling well which led her on her journey to cut out alcohol and experience physical and emotional freedom and how you can too. Even if you yourself don't drink, I'm sure you know someone that does....perhaps it's your partner, friend, child, or parent. This episode teaches you how to encourage those around you to take a break from drinking and methods and tips to go about that without being "annoying" or like you are stepping over your boundaries. 

We also talk about some really interesting non-alcoholic drinks on the market including dealcoholized wine and I share my favorite go-to alcohol free store bought drink as well. So if you're sober curious, grab a drink (alcohol free of course) and tune in and walk away with empowering tips and tricks to living less inflamed, more empowered, and mentally ready to  experience a non-alcohol way of life. 

Topics Discussed:

→ What crunchy muscles means

→ Non-alcoholic drinks on the market (and my fav!)

→ How EVEN social drinking can be hindering your health goals

→ Tips to stop drinking

→ Tips to help someone you know try to quit drinking

→ The parent, child relationship between alcohol in the home

→ Alternatives coping methods instead of drinking

→ Why and what YOUR reason is for not drinking
