  • Episode 2: Birth Control, Fertility, and How to Support Your Body

    This episode Brooke takes us DEEP into the topic of hormonal birth control- why are so many people ditching the pill, how can you support your body through this transition, and what steps would be best to stabilize hormones after and prepare for healthy pregnancy if that’s the goal.

     

    There can be a down side to life post-birth control, BUT it doesn’t need to be extreme or last for very long. In fact if you are doing it right, you should quickly swing to the upside and all the juicy pro’s of life after birth control.

     

    The key is understanding what is happening to your body, preparing AHEAD of time, and then supporting on a deeper level with lab testing if needed. All of which is covered in this deep dive today!

  • Snack Time Episode 1: Red Light Therapy

    Welcome to our first episode of Snack Time!! In this episode. Dr. Realzola talks about photobiomodulation - a fancy way of saying red light therapy. This is a crash course on how PBM is thought to work, what the benefits of it are, and what the research says on how effective it is. Rogelio talks about how there isn't consistency in what red light therapy works best, or when/for how long to use it. Does he think you should use it? You'll have to listen to the whole episode to see what he thinks!

     

    Have you ever used light therapy? Let the Health Unfiltered Podcast know!

  • How To Combat Aging

    he whole gang is HERE, and we are diving into aging. It’s happening no matter what, but how this process goes down- well, that’s up to YOU.

     

    We bust some myths like, “my metabolism is slowing down as I age.” The answer might hurt some feelings TBH. 

     

    We go deeeep into sarcopenia and other biological processes that will naturally occur the older we get. 

     

    But don’t you worry, we wrap it up nicely with a bow and give you the keys to aging like a fine wine VS curdled milk.

  • Cultivating Body Trust

    In this episode, Nicole leads us through a conversation about body trust. We’ve talked a lot about how the wellness world, especially fitness and nutrition, gets reduced to a rigid list of BS rules to follow. And how almost always…this *never* works for creating and sustaining healthy habits. 

     

    The gang dives into:

     

    • Messaging we’ve received growing up and through social conditioning that create distrust in ourselves and our innate intuition
  • How messaging leads to changes in the way we related to our own bodies
  • Sharing how body trust has been an evolution and personal experiences that helped us move through it
  • Characteristics of body trust and the how the relationship with our body is just as important as trust in relationship with someone else
  • How we have strengthened our relationships with our bodies and other words of wisdom you can start implementing for a better relationship with your body


  • The relationship with your body is the MOST important relationship you will ever have. This is truly the foundation of having a healthy and balanced life. Listen in to the conversation with open mind. 

     

    BONUS journal prompts to explore your body relationship with trusting your body:

     

    1. When did you first receive the message that your body could not be trusted? That you needed to have some sort of control over it?
  • What ways did you all try to change your body? How did this impact the trust you had with yourself over the years? 
  • How has your relationship with yourself and your body changed over the years? 
  • What time period did you notice when you had the least amount of trust with your body? What time period did you have the most? 
  • What was a time when you had full trust in your body? What were you doing? What were you feeling? 
  • What are the characteristics you associate with trust? How do you practice these characteristics toward yourself? 


  • Cheers y'all!
