Inflammation can manifest itself in the form of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, depression, and more. Typically, inflammation has been wreaking havoc inside one's body well before it leads to noticeable symptoms. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Ryan Greene, an osteopathic physician with many years of experience in human performance, sports medicine, nutrition, and the most cutting-edge recovery methods. Dr. Greene is also the co-founder and medical director of Monarch Athletic Club, a medically centered health club. In today's conversation, Dr. Greene and I discuss the biggest drivers of inflammation, the difference between acute vs chronic inflammation, early warning signs of excess inflammation, how to measure your inflammation levels by analyzing certain metabolic markers, the best dietary approach to reduce inflammation, and much more.

When it comes to treating cancer, conventional medicine is good at cutting it, burning it, and poisoning it, but many oncologists fail to address the root cause. Join me as I speak with Dr. Nasha Winters, ND, FABNO, about the importance of a terrain-based approach when it comes to treating cancer. Dr. Winters shares the ten key elements of a patient’s “terrain” that are crucial to preventing and managing cancer. We discuss the importance of listening deeply to the cells of the body (with labs, molecular profiling, epigenetic testing, and more), metabolically supporting the body’s terrain (with a therapeutic diet, oxidative therapies, and stress reduction), and recognizing that the body has an inherent ability to heal.

What you'll learn from this episode: 

• Why addressing the body’s internal terrain is not only critical in prevention but also in the treatment of cancer
• How to address metabolic dysfunction 
• Limitations of conventional cancer treatment
• Lifestyle strategies integral for not only prevention but also better treatment outcomes
• The importance of emotional healing in the cancer journey
• & So much more!

Today's episode is very special to me because I get to sit down and chat with my cousin Gina. I always joke with her that any of our phone conversations would make great podcast episodes, so I figured we might as well record one. In this episode, Gina and I discuss how to trust God when our feelings suggest otherwise, what to do when our thoughts don’t align with scripture, how to make decisions when we feel like we aren't getting a clear answer from God, and the power of speaking the word.

If you’ve struggled with finding high protein bars that actually taste good, you are going to really appreciate this episode. Join me as I sit down with Jake & Rachel Beaudry, the founders of Rawr Organics, as we discuss their journey in creating what I think is one of the tastiest, healthiest protein bars on the planet. Rawr Organics was born out of the pain point in that it was hard to find high protein bars that actually tasted good and didn't have fillers, binders, fake sweeteners or dairy. The bars range from 18-20 grams of protein and come in tasty flavors from cookie dough and birthday cake to lemon poppy and dark chocolate raspberry. Jake and Rachel are not only incredible entrepreneurs, but they are mission-minded, with beautiful hearts and a strong desire to help people.

Cardiovascular disease continues to be the leading cause of death for both men and women. One major factor may be low levels of nitric oxide, a molecule that promotes vasodilation and smooth blood flow. By recognizing the signs of deficiency, we can raise our levels and lower our risk. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Nathan Bryan, a Nitric Oxide Scientist, inventor, and author, as we to explore the importance of nitric oxide for our long-term health. Dr. Bryan discusses the four key characteristics of disease, the effects of excessive antacid use, and the link between reduced nitric oxide levels and an increased risk of Alzheimer’s. He also shares insights into lifestyle factors that can either diminish or enhance nitric oxide production, how to assess your levels, and symptoms that may indicate a deficiency. Dr. Nathan Bryan is a distinguished biomedical researcher recognized for his pioneering work on nitric oxide biology. His research has greatly contributed to our understanding of nitric oxide's vital functions in cardiovascular health, immune response, and neurobiology. Beyond his academic contributions, he is dedicated to promoting public health by translating his findings into practical health solutions.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that affects 5 to 10% of women of reproductive age. Despite many women struggling with difficult symptoms like irregular or absent periods, excessive hair growth, acne, and weight gain, we still know little about it.

That’s why I’m excited to sit down and speak with Tallene, a PCOS Weight Loss Registered Dietitian, and her husband Sirak, a PCOS-focused personal trainer, to talk about all things PCOS! We discuss the root causes of PCOS, common symptoms, what a PCOS-friendly diet looks like, the best exercise routine for PCOS, and much more!
