Energized with Dr. Mariza

Like most kids, I grew up on an insane amount of sugar!

I started most days with a huge bowl of cereal and milk. And even as a young adult, I wasn’t concerned about high blood sugar or the metabolic impact refined carbs and sugar were having on my body. 

I thought as long as I ate healthily and worked out, I would be fine. But now I know how wrong I was.

Catch today’s eye-opening podcast for a look into some of the biggest misconceptions about blood sugar that we’ve been taught–and learn:

We have been led to believe that at the slightest symptoms of perimenopause and menopause, we should run out and get hormone replacement. 

But the truth is, estrogen levels do not fall significantly until AFTER a woman’s last period. 

And far more women actually suffer from “estrogen dominance” during the transition to menopause, starting around 35 years old–and those symptoms are the ones we should be addressing.

Catch today’s all-important podcast to find out what causes estrogen dominance, why it’s such a dangerous condition, and 13 ways to overcome it naturally–and learn:

When I first got super serious about my nutrition, I remember throwing a half banana or more into my morning smoothie and thinking, “This is the healthiest smoothie on Earth!”

But WOW was I wrong.

On today’s shortie, I’m going to share what makes certain fruits either good OR bad for you and which ones are the best AND worst for your blood sugar.

It’s never too late to start healing your gut microbiome and improving your gut health. So many adults and children have leaky gut syndrome without even knowing it, but healing the gut is the first step you need to take on any health journey you undertake. I’m joined by Tina Anderson, who is a wealth of knowledge about spore-based probiotics and many other unique probiotic strains, to talk about how probiotics can transform your health.

Tina Anderson’s journey into the world of health had a unique start and some unusual turns. She began her career as a trial lawyer specializing in settling cases by bringing both sides together, her personal passion.

Once her second child arrived, Tina left that high-stress job behind to focus on her family. Luckily, she could still use her considerable legal skills to point her career in a new direction as the in-house counsel for a family pharmaceutical company. 

But what Tina saw there made her change direction again. Frustrated by the many cases of abuse in the pharmaceutical industry, Tina turned toward the natural health field and found her life’s work. She channeled her energy into learning all she could about disease prevention and good health maintenance. That led her to discover the importance of gut health and how connected and crucial it is for overall health and wellness. 

To share her discovery with the world, Tina and her husband created a unique supplement that contains the superior probiotic strains of renowned researcher Dr. Simon Cutting. By promoting gut health and

probiotics, Tina shares her passion for wellness, helping others live their best physical and emotional lives.

Human Growth Hormone (HGH) isn’t just for super muscular male athletes or olympian warriors.

That’s actually a myth!

Numerous studies have shown that perimenopausal women actually have MORE of it than men–and the benefits are countless.
