December 27, 2017 #36 with Amanda Upson: Lawyer turned filmmaker, Do-er, and on Women Supporting Women in Buisiness
Unleashed in Denver, Colorado, Amanda Upson began her film and media career in 2013 after fleeing big firm law practice and setting out for the wilder west of film production. Her outstanding reputation in the legal field and her unparalleled ability to get stuff done led to a serendipitous partnering with Little Turtle Pictures. Over the past 5,280 unbillable hours, she and her partners at Little Turtle Pictures have been responsible for developing the future of film and television’s most acclaimed features and series. Amanda excels at developing a strategy and revels in executing its details. After graduating from UVA, she earned her JD (cum laude). She co-founded the Denver chapter of Mother Attorney Mentoring Association, which has grown to a mentoring and networking group of more than 300 attorneys. The best evidence of her persuasive abilities can be found on the days Amanda serves as Lunch Lady, when she convinces each kid passing through the line to eat two servings of vegetables.

December 13, 2017 #34 with Guillermo Ruiz on Herbs, Thyroid health, and Anemia
Living in Arizona, the home of the Valley of the Sun, Dr. Guillermo Ruiz is breaking new barriers through the world of Naturopathic Medicine. With a specific specialty in thyroid disease, Dr. Ruiz explains why it may be harder for most people with thyroid issues to see progression in their journeys to health. Even with Guillermo’s extensive background knowledge and expertise, he stays true to his motto of self-training when helping others. “I don’t want to tell you what to do. I want to work with you and help you get to where you need to be.” In this episode of Meathead Hippie, an assortment of topics are covered, ranging from anemia, the benefits of iron and favorite herbs -- all the way to a little tangent of mutual love for Harry Potter. With so much helpful advice to offer, he finishes the episode with an insightful analogy on balancing life like it has its own personal Venn diagram. “The inside of the Venn diagram is true health. You need to take into consideration all of the circles in order for you to be the best version you can be.” It is no secret that Dr. Guillermo Ruiz brings a new source of light in Naturopathic Medicine to the home of the Valley of the Sun.
