Have you struggled to get your doctor on board with your desire to use food as medicine to heal your own body? Having trouble bridging the gap between conventional and functional medicine on your journey to optimal health?

He also uses biohacking techniques as part of a virtual health system to optimize human performance for athletes and high functioning individuals.

September 18, 2017 Naturally Nourished Episode 51: What the Hell?! A Rebuttal to What the Health
Curious to hear our take on the recent controversial documentary, What the Health? Confused by the “facts” presented and not sure what to believe? Tune in to hear Ali and Becki debunk the Top 5 Myths presented, discuss research flaws and scare tactics used, as well as give props to a couple of items the film got right!

As conscious consumers, it is important to take the “too good to be true” claims of this documentary with a grain (or a teaspoon!) of salt and to be our own detectives of how evidence is presented and skewed in favor of the film’s vegan agenda. Learn about our take on the link between processed meat and cancer, whether sugar is the true culprit of diabetes and insulin resistance and whether protein deficiency is possible!

August 29, 2017 Naturally Nourished Episode 49: PCOS Part 2
Did you listen to our PCOS Part 1 Episode and have more questions about this complex hormonal condition? Hungry for more information about the hows and whys of PCOS manifestation and treatment approaches? Tune in to hear Ali and Becki go even deeper into this complex topic and address HPA axis dysfunction, the role of toxicity in development of PCOS as well as micronutrient deficiency trends with PCOS and how managing these three areas can have you feeling back in your body!

In this episode, Ali and Becki jump into the role of the HPA vs. HPO access and how stress and adrenal fatigue can make you more susceptible to PCOS. In addition to stress, toxicity and micronutrient deficiency can lead to expression of PCOS. A nutritionally supported detox with adequate phase 1 and phase 2 support can help to reduce xenoestrogens and other compounds that disrupt optimal hormone function. Micronutrient deficiency can also play a role in PCOS, from Inositol to Vitamin D to Chromium and beyond.

August 23, 2017 Naturally Nourished Episode 48: PCOS Part 1
Are you or someone you know diagnosed with PCOS? Curious about the symptoms or diagnosis of this hormonal condition and whether this might be you? Tune in to hear Ali and Becki discuss the criteria for diagnosing PCOS, the underlying mechanisms that drive this hormonal imbalance as well as compare the conventional medical treatment with functional medicine approaches to treating the root cause.

In this information-packed episode, Ali and Becki discuss how PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) develops and how it manifests in the body, with symptoms ranging from irregular periods and loss of cycle to increased body hair to acne. Women with PCOS have abnormalities in the metabolism of androgens and estrogen and in the control of androgen production. There is also the common thread of insulin resistance, obesity and metabolic syndrome--though not all women present the same way!
