Faithful Fitness With Coach Alex VanHouten

What if there was one key ingredient in a healthy metabolism?

What if it was dirt cheap - or in many cases - FREE?

What if we told you that studies show up to 80% of folks aren’t getting enough of it —despite it being mostly FREE?

In this episode, Health Coach Alex VanHouten covers the science and practical application of Vitamin D in your life with a special emphasis on the upcoming COVID and Flu season!

Here's the one I recommend!

When I meet people who are putting out light and life in the social media world, I get excited.

They are hard to come by and worth knowing.

Coach Matt Johnson is someone I've appreciated for awhile and with our kiddos going back to school in such an uncertain climate, I thought it was time to hear some thoughts from someone with "boots on the ground".

Join us as we talk through setting up our kids for success at breakfast, good training practice, and "keto culture".

Fish oil was a key component of the human diet for hundreds of thousands of years.

Here we will talk about what role the Omega 3s EPA and DHA play in the formation of healthy cells, mediating inflammation, and promoting appropriate tissue function!

The only question isn’t whether you should be getting them in your diet - but HOW is best for you!

Let’s talk!

This one’s personal.

In February, my nutrition world was rocked when I experience my first “Flare Up” with Ulcerative Colitis. This IBD is often comorbid with Ehlers Danlos - unbeknownst to me - and was beginning to rear its ugly head in my digestive tract.

Awesome. More on that saga here

Writhing in pain at 2am for the 3rd night in a row, I found some helpful, well-researched knowledge on a friends’ podcast that I know my audience would find valuable too.

So I brought him on the show to talk about the 5 Pillars Of Gut Health!
