Today we talk with Dr. Will Cole about his book, The Inflammation Spectrum. Then we talk with Jill Lane about The Mood Cure.

The Inflammation Spectrum with Dr. Will Cole

Dr. Will Cole is a leading functional-medicine expert who specializes in clinically investigating underlying factors of chronic disease. Today he joins us to talk about his book, The Inflammation Spectrum. His book explains how inflammation is at the core of most common health woes and exists on a continuum: from mild symptoms such as weight gain and fatigue on one end, to hormone imbalance and autoimmune conditions on the other. Physiologically, inflammation is a natural bodily process. But the problem is when it gets out of control or chronic.

The foods we eat directly impact how our inflammatory response activates. And, every person is different. This makes pinpointing what your triggers are a little bit of a process. Listen in to hear what Dr. Cole has to say about this and get his book here.

The Mood Cure with Jill Lane

Jill Lane is an expert in the fields of nutrition and exercise physiology. She is extremely knowledgeable on the effects that food has on the body, and this includes the brain. Doctors are finally starting to realize and implement the importance of how our physical health and mental health are connected. Did you know that depression and anxiety have tripled in the last 10 years? Jill talks with us today about how to find out your food triggers, remove them, and add in the certain foods and supplements to support your mood and your overall mental health. A lot of this information can be found in the book, The Mood Cure, by Julia Ross.

Today we talk with Katherine Lawrence about her story of how food saved her life and led her to start her own business. Then we talk with Stephanie Toups about extreme prepping for any situation.

Food Saved Me with Katherine Lawrence

Katherine Lawrence's story begins back in 2006. She was suffering from severe abdominal pain and was receiving multiple misdiagnosis. Finally, her doctor determined she had severe endometriosis. He told her she was most-likely infertile and recommended she have a hysterectomy. From there, Katherine's story only goes uphill. She discovered nutrition as her medicinal healer and started to see amazing things happen to her body. She made significant diet changes, and the results were undeniable. Even her doctor was amazed.

Katherine's story doesn't end there. Listen in to hear how she overcame her diagnosis, and even birthed 3 healthy and thriving boys. Now, Katherine's passion is to empower people to improve their health, their perspective and their lives through healthy eating. Find Katherine here.

Extreme Prepping with Stephanie Toups

Stephanie Toups is a consumer advocate professional who is particularly focused on safety in food and personal care products. Another thing Stephanie is an expert in, is prepping. Have you ever heard of a doomsday prepper? Yes, they are real and Stephanie is one of them. She has a whole survival guide in the event of an emergency. It's actually very impressive. She talks with us today about where to start when prepping. In a situation like a fire, flood, power outage, economic collapse, etc., Stephanie and her family are prepared for it. But, where did she begin?

This is what we talk with her about today. We talk about packing a go-bag, which you would have in the event you have to evacuate your home. Next, we talk about in case of a fire. And lastly, we talk about essential items you should stock up on for yourself and your family and where to keep them. This is such an interesting and important topic. We never know when a crisis can hit, that's why we prep!

Today we talk with Adrianna Stephenson about her story of being a brain tumor parent. Her and Shawn Wells talk about how the Ketogenic diet is working miracles in her home and in the lives of so many.

Brain Tumor Parent with Adrianna Stephenson & Shawn Wells

Adrianna Stephenson is a brain tumor parent, ketogenic diet advocate, and real food crusader. Her now 5 year old son, Parker, is a brain tumor survivor. At the age of 19 months, Adrianna noticed her son being a bit more wobbly on his toes and having trouble gripping with his right hand. Her mama instinct told her, something is not right. She took Parker to his pediatrician who then recommended they go see a neurologist. It was then that her life as she knew it, would change forever.

After being diagnosed with a very large brain tumor, Adrianna and her son Parker were helpless at the hands of the doctors. They performed surgery, and began chemotherapy. Adrianna started researching to find out why this had happened to her son and how she could help him heal, from home. She came across the ketogenic diet and thought to herself, why not. After 3 months of being on the ketogenic diet, coupled with chemotherapy, Parker's tumor was down 30 percent! She then knew that the ultimate power of healing her son was going to be the food.

Feeding a young child a specific diet sounds difficult. Kids are picky eaters, if they even eat much at all. But, for Adrianna and Parker, making the switch to keto was not that difficult. She talks with us about what kinds of foods she prepares for him, along with what the long-term plan is for her son Parker. At Parker's last MRI there was no evidence of disease and he is currently thriving on a ketogenic diet!

Shawn Wells is a registered dietician, certified sports nutritionist, and has been implementing keto in his own life for over 20 years. He and Adrianna talk about how the ketogenic diet works in situations like Parker's.

Today we talk with Wild Foods CEO/Founder, Colin Stuckert, about what eating real foods means. Then we talk with Von Eaglin about the thoughts of a disrespectful man.

Eating Real Food with Wild Foods CEO - Colin Stuckert

Colin Stuckert founded Wild Foods with a passion to get quality products to the masses. He answers some of these questions on the podcast today:

* "Real Food" is a term we hear a lot lately, but what exactly does it mean?

* What foods qualify as real food?

* What are your best recommendations for go-to real foods?

Colin Stuckert is the Founder and CEO of Wild Foods Co. Wild Foods specializes in Real Foods from small producers around the world. They believe food is the most important aspect of health and longevity, which is why knowing where ingredients come from and how they are made is the most important thing. They believe the food system is broken and people are suffering in sickness because of it.

Thoughts of a Disrespectful Man with Von Eaglin

Von Eaglin is a licensed professional counselor who is currently pursuing his Ph.D., and is a soon-to-be dad. We talk with him today about what goes on inside the head of a disrespectful man. This can apply to both men and women, but today we focus on the man. Disrespect in a relationship can be the catalyst for a list of other problems. But where does a man learn this disrespectful behavior, and what are the inside motives? Von answers some of the tough questions today and also gives advice for those who might be in a relationship with someone who is disrespectful.

Today we talk with Tina Bernet Allen about the benefits of doing both strength training and cardio. Then we talk with Mo Brossette about mindset and self-talk.

Workout Wednesday with Tina Bernet Allen

Tina Bernet Allen is one of the top personal trainers in the DFW area, and has been in the fitness industry for over 30 years. Most of us believe that a great way to lose weight is by adding in cardio. This is true, to an extent. Cardio is great for getting your heart rate up and building your endurance, but doing cardio on it's own will not give you the weight-loss goals you are most likely looking for. Tina talks with us about a new study that was done where they combined cardio and strength training. The findings show just how important it is to do some sort of strength/weight training. Listen to Tina's segment to hear more about this.

Mindset and Positive Self-Talk with Mo Brossette

Mo Brossette is an expert on human behavior, mindset, movement, and nutrition and has been in the health and fitness industry for 24 years. Today we talk with him about self talk, intention, and negation. A negation is a negative word like: can't, try, maybe, won't, etc. These words set the tone for whatever it is you are talking about.

For example, if you are setting a goal you wouldn't say, "I'm going to try not to eat sugar this week."

Rather you would say, "I'm not going to eat sugar this week."

This makes the goal definitive. You know exactly what you need to do and you have defined your intention. There are a lot of words that we use on a daily basis that might be hindering our full potential. This is a great topic, and it goes right in line with being healthy and exercising regularly as well.

Today we talk with DeWone Bennett about a couple of different things including: sex, relationships, and impostor syndrome.

What is Impostor Syndrome?

DeWone Bennett is a licensed professional Counselor and has extensive training and certifications as a Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. We open up the show by talking with him about sex. Specifically we talk about what special occasions men expect they are going to be intimate with their significant other. Do women feel the same way? We also talk a little bit about relationships that decide to invite another person into the mix. This is very common in relationships, and DeWone talks about the kinds of questions he asks as a counselor to a couple who are thinking about doing this.

Then we talk about impostor syndrome. If you have never heard of this, here is the definition:

Impostor syndrome (also known as impostor phenomenon, impostorism, fraud syndrome or the impostor experience) is a psychological pattern in which one doubts one's accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a "fraud".

According to DeWone, this is more common in women than men. Where does this stem from? Listen in to hear what DeWone has to say about the details of this syndrome.

In today's show we first talk with Patti Dawson from Dallas DogRRR. Then we talk with Zen Honeycutt, founder of Moms Across America. Last but not least, we talk with Shawn Wells about fasting and supplements.

Moms Across America with Zen Honeycutt

Zen Honeycutt is the Founding Executive Director of Moms Across America, a non-profit National Coalition of Unstoppable Moms. Moms Across America empowers and amplifies the voice of the mom locally and nationally to create healthy communities by raising awareness about GMOs and related pesticides in our food. Today we talk about which foods have the highest numbers of GMO's and the importance of buying organic. Zen also talks with us about what inspired her to start the organization and how it has grown.

Fasting and Supplements with Shawn Wells

Shawn Wells is an expert in the fields of performance nutrition, longevity, fitness and supplementation. He is a Registered Dietitian and a Certified Sports Nutritionist who is dubbed “The World’s Greatest Formulator.” Today he joins us to talk about his upcoming fasting challenge, in which he will be fasting for 72-hours from February 16th to February 19th, 2020. He is doing this alongside as many people that want to join, so if you're interested in joining you can read more about it here.

We continue talking about fasting and its many benefits and purposes. Then we talk a little bit about supplementing for optimal performance. This topic probably can't be covered enough because so many people are confused about which supplements are the most beneficial. On top of that, which brands are the most trusted. Shawn is an expert in all of these areas, we are so happy to be talking with him about this today.

In today's "Galentine's" special, we talk with Beth Reeder Johnson about 6 steps for a loving connection. Then we talk with DeWone Bennett about coping skills.

The Big Love with Beth Reeder Johnson

Beth Reeder Johnson is a Dallas area licensed Individual, Family & Couples Therapist. She specializes in counseling children, adolescents, adults, and families. She is also a Certified Imago Therapist trained to help couples reconnect. In honor of Valentine's Day coming up, we decided to talk with her about how to get that "big love" with your partner. These 6 steps that Beth gives us today are so insightful, and can really help to turn a relationship around. We all get comfortable with our significant others, but why do we tend to treat them the worst sometimes? Beth gives us all the ways to love our partners the best we can, and show them how much they mean to us.

Coping Skills with DeWone Bennett

DeWone Bennett is a licensed professional Counselor and has extensive training and certifications as a Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. Today we talk with him about coping skills, or lack there of. A lot of people have trouble with coping; they might  turn to alcohol, drugs, sex, pornography, shopping, you name it. Some of these things are completely acceptable to be dabbling in, unless you are running to them during or after hardships. That's when you know your coping skills may not be where they should be. DeWone talks with us today about learning how to better cope, and still enjoy your vices here and there.

In today's episode we talk with Diane "V" Capaldi about vulnerability, and Mo Brossette talks about resilience through gratitude.

Vulnerability with V Capaldi

Diane "V" Capaldi, also known as the PaleoBOSS Lady, has a masters degree in psychology and is a sought-after speaker. She considers herself a miracle since self-healing from multiple sclerosis in 2012 using food and movement as medicine. Today we talk with V about what it means to really be vulnerable. This information is coming from experience and life lessons that V has been through. Health challenges, childhood adversities, and anything else that life throws at you will be your most vulnerable pieces that make you, you. Embracing these "flaws" and showing the world your deepest scars can be so healing. Listen in to what V has to say about vulnerability.

Resilience through Gratitude with Mo Brossette

"This too, shall pass."

Mo Brossette is an expert on human behavior, mindset, movement, and nutrition. He has been in the health and fitness industry for over 24 years, and is currently the Director of Mindset and Nutrition at The Adaptive Training Foundation. This topic is something we all need reminding of daily. Practicing gratitude has been shown to alter the chemistry of your brain, it is extremely powerful. Going through hardships can put your mind in a very pessimistic state. These are the times when practicing gratitude will reap the most benefits. Finding the good in the not so good situations can be difficult, but it is possible. Mo talks a little bit about vulnerability and teaches us how to frame our mindset and change our thoughts to become stronger and more resilient.

Jill Lane Gives us the Hottest Health & Wellness Trends of 2020

Jill Lane is an expert in the fields of nutrition and exercise physiology and she is a pro-athlete health and nutrition coach. We covered the hottest health and wellness trends of 2019 in this episode, and today we are covering them for 2020 so far. There are some new and upcoming trends this year that were not on the list last year. For example, intermittent fasting. Jill talks with us about intermittent fasting and how it is properly done along with how you can benefit.

Another that wasn't so much on the list last year is nootropics. Jill breaks down what these are and which ones she personally takes daily. Supplements are SO important, but there are way too many out there. If you shop through our One Life Radio/Thorne dispensary, you will receive 20% off and free shipping. Their products are top of the line, and personally endorsed by Jill.

Having youthful skin, less wrinkles, and fuller lips all have a common theme - anti-aging. So many products on the market claim to be "anti-aging" and we want to know more about it. Health trends are ever-changing, but one thing stays the same; we all want to be healthier, live longer, and look better than ever. We talk with Jill about all of this and so much more in today's episode.
