198: THERE’S ACTUALLY SH*T IN OUR BLOODSTREAM?! - The Founder of Primal Kitchen Mark Sisson and the author of 12 books including The Primal Blueprint and The Keto Reset Diet joins us today as as he shares about how to become fat adapted, what that even is, how collagen helped change his life by sparing him from invasive surgery, what removing grains for 30 days did to his body and overall gut health, and how the shoes we are wearing are actually causing more harm than good to our health. We also dive into the myth that you need carbs because yes, there's essential nutrients we need, essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, and essential proteins.....there's actually no such thing as "Essential Carbs" - And if you cold plunge or have been curious about cold plunging we dive into that as well (no pun intended!). I hope you guys enjoy this episode as much as I did.

196: Dr. Heather Stone is a functional practitioner who specializes in thyroid dysfunction and is the author of the book *Thyroid Transformation Blueprint*. In this episode, we discuss the common symptoms of thyroid issues, what to look for to determine if you need testing, how to get tested, and what to do if you are experiencing low thyroid symptoms. We cover key signs such as weight gain, difficulty losing weight, constipation, hair loss, and other related factors. 

Dr. Heather also sheds light on how blood sugar is influenced not only by the foods we eat but also by other lifestyle factors, which can lead to spikes in blood sugar. We delve into topics like diet, what to eat and avoid, medications, and resources for women, as well as why it's important to look beyond the thyroid to effectively manage thyroid health.

This episode is packed with valuable information that I believe everyone will find beneficial. I truly hope you enjoy the conversation I had with Dr. Heather Stone.

192: IS TOPICAL COLLAGEN A SCAM? Is putting animal fat on our face the best solution for acne and anti-aging? Emilie Toups from Toups & Co. chimes in on today's conversation as we talk all about putting animal fat on our face for skincare. There's a huge movement of beef tallow skincare and I'm sure you've heard of it, so we talk about the WHY and how plant oils, even coconut oil, is not the best option when it comes to skincare.

190: WANT TO AVOID ANTIBIOTICS? I do! Today Emily and I talk about how CBD has actually been shown as a natural antibiotic without any of the side effects. We also discuss the differences between full spectrum and broad spectrum what that means, if CBD shows up on drug tests, if children and pregnant and nursing woman can take CBD, how many brands do offer 3rd party testing BUT are not current with them which can be misleading to the current batch you have in your home, plus all the benefits CBD offers including anxiety, digestion sleep, reducing inflammation, migraines, nerve pain, and so much more. CBD can also even be given to your pets!
