Stephanie Toups - Mica Mines Rely on Child Labor

Stephanie Toups is a consumer advocate professional, whose research focuses mainly on the personal care industry. Today she talks with us about recent news of children working in mines in Madagascar. Some as young as the age of four. Mica is used in make-up to add shimmer and sparkle, and electronics for its ability to transmit electric force without overheating. These children are working long hours in extremely poorly ventilated makeshift mines, and it is now being exposed.

How can you do your part to take a stand? Follow along with us. We will be providing information in our newsletter and Stephanie will be following up about this issue.

In today's holiday special, we talk with Mo Brossette about staying on track with your goals during the holidays, and how to go through a respectful divorce.

Staying on Track of your Goals

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. First, Mo talks with us today about staying on track of your goals during the holidays. A lot of people put pressure on themselves to not eat terribly during the holidays. And the other half seem to go crazy and eat whatever they want. But either way, it's your choice. Mo tells us exactly how to frame our mindset to keep our goals and enjoy our holidays at the same time.

How to go Through a Respectful Divorce

Next, Mo Brossette talks with us about something more personal - divorce. He and his wife have made the decision to separate however, they are trying extremely hard to remain close friends and keep the process as respectful as possible. A respectful divorce probably seems unheard of, as it can be a very daunting and ugly process. His advice speaks volumes to those who may be going through a divorce right now. Keeping respect for each other and the people you love around you can get lost during the whole process of a divorce. Mo talks about how each person has to acknowledge their own part in the failure of the marriage. And not letting your pride and ego get in the way, this can make a much more respectful divorce process.

In today's episode we talk with Mary Holland about the current legislation of vaccines. Jill Lane also joins us to talk about how to banish brain fog and sharpen your thinking.

Vaccine Legislation Update - Mary Holland

Mary Holland is a Research Scholar and Director of the Graduate Legal Skills Program, NYU School of Law. She actively speaks and fights for vaccine choice and for parents to gain back their role as decision makers for their children. Mary is also the co-author of the book, Vaccine Epidemic: How Corporate Greed, Biased Science, and Coercive Government Threaten Our Human Rights, Our Health, and Our Children.

She joins us today to talk about the current legislation on vaccines. We talk about how mandatory vaccines in New York have effected the people and the disease rates. We talk about how religious exemptions could soon be no more in many states, if we continue with the rate we are going at. Then, Mary talks about what 2020 is looking like for our children, and us adults. This is not a pro-vaccine/anti-vaccine conversation, it is simply a conversation about what is going on. We hope this makes you think and want to do some research so that we can be the healthiest nation we can be.

Banish Brain Fog and Sharpen your Thinking

Jill Lane is a pro-athlete health and nutrition coach. Daily, she works with people to help them fuel their bodies to perform and feel their best. Brain fog happens to most people at some point in their life. Or, it could happen every day. There are various things that can impact your brain and how well you think. The gut-brain connection is something that was discovered not too long ago, and we are seeing just how much our brain is impacted by what we eat.

Jill talks with us today about how certain foods can lead to more brain fog, and how to combat it with a healthy diet. Another huge component to fighting brain fog is exercise. This will increase blood flow to the brain and help for clearer and sharper thinking. Exercise is a great way to fight depression as well. Jill gives us all the tips to eat well, supplement well, and perform well.

In today's episode we talk with Dr. Nasha Winters about carcinogens in clothing and cosmetics. Kathy Gilbert joins us to talk about why she chooses joy, even in times of grief. And Stephanie Toups talks about how to follow the EWG's dirty dozen guide to food additives.

Carcinogens in Clothing and Cosmetics

Dr. Nasha was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer at the age of 19. She was given only a few months to live. Today, she is a leading doctor in the research of cancer, and author of the book, The Metabolic Approach to Cancer. Today we talk with her about how toxic our clothing and cosmetics really are. The mass amounts of ingredients in products, especially cosmetics, make it difficult to regulate. We talk with Dr. Nasha about how to tackle reading these labels and how to make the safest purchases for yourself and your family. 

* Dr. Nasha Winters is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor and a Fellow of the American Board of Naturopathic Oncology (FABNO). She is a global healthcare authority in integrative cancer research.

Choosing Joy

Kathy Gilbert writes for Paleo Magazine, and in the current issue she writes an article about choosing joy. Today she talks about how to choose joy in times of grief, without completely ignoring your grief. She is an inspirational writer who runs a blog called Wide Angle Lens: "living with perspective." We cannot wait to have her back!

Dirty Dozen Guide to Food Additives

Stephanie Toups is a consumer advocate professional, primarily focused on the personal care industry. Today we talk with her about the EWG's guide to food additives. If a food label reads "natural flavors" then you should run in the other direction. Food additives are in so many foods and to put it simply, we have no idea the long term effects. The regulation on food is almost as bad as that of cosmetics.

Stephanie talks with us about how to read nutrition labels, how to shop in the grocery store, and how we can do our part to enforce some change. By demanding safe and healthy products for us and future generations, we have to demand it. That means, leaving the bad stuff on the shelves. You can visit the EWG website to see the dirty dozen of food additives.

In today's episode we talk with Maura Davies about Thanksgiving pet safety, Dr. Brooke Kalanick talks about the top Keto diet considerations for women, and Cody Myler talks about the hardest part of keto.

Thanksgiving Pet Safety Tips

Maura Davies joins us for our weekly animal segment to talk about Thanksgiving pet safety tips. This may seem like an unimportant topic, but our pets can easily be at risk during the holidays. During the holidays there are parties happening everywhere. This means food and alcohol being passed around and more easily reached by pets. You have to make sure your pets are not eating human food and definitely not having alcohol.

Also, you need to make sure your pets are microchipped. If they get out of the house by accident, you are much more likely to find them if they are chipped. Maura tells us even more tips on keeping your pets safe at Thanksgiving, don't miss it.

Top 5 Keto Diet Considerations for Women

Dr. Brooke Kalanick, ND, is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor and functional medicine practitioner. Today she talks with us about the ketogenic diet, specifically for women. The Keto diet has taken the world by storm, and is one of the most popular diets right now. There are different ways to implement it into your diet, whether you are vegan, vegetarian, plant-based, etc. there is a way to be keto. The benefits are great, and Dr. Brooke talks with us today about what women need to look out for.

The top considerations for women are things like thyroid, estrogen levels, cortisol levels, and insulin resistance. To put it simply, we are not all created equally. Our bodies do not respond the same way to certain diets as others do. That's why Dr. Brook wrote her newest book, Hangry: 5 Simple Steps to Balance Your Hormones and Restore Your Joy. We have to get to know our bodies and what works for us before starting a diet. The keto diet is great! But, does it work the same for everyone? No. Listen in to hear Dr. Brooke break down these 5 considerations and how to know if a ketogenic diet is right for you.

The Hardest Part of Keto

Cody Myler is the owner and operator of NXT Rep Fitness, as well as the staff’s lead instructor. We talk with Cody about what the hardest part about a keto diet is. Cody talks about how he witnessed his parents join the keto movement a few years ago, and it seemed their diets consisted of merely bacon, eggs, and cheese. In his head, this did not seem like it could work or be healthy.

Then he did his own thorough research on the diet and figured out there were healthy ways to do it. We talk about things like protein intake, ketosis, and knowing how much to eat for your body size. We are not scientists or nutritionists, and there is a plethora of information out there. Figuring out what information is verified and safe for you is tricky. That's why we have guests like Cody on the show, to break it down and simplify it for us.

In today's episode we talk with Dr. Forrest Talley about essentials for a happy, healthy home. And we talk with Beth Reeder Johnson about reimagining the holidays.

Essentials for a Happy, Healthy Home

Dr. Forrest Talley

Dr. Forrest Talley is a clinical psychologist who has been helping adults, teens and children for over 30 years. He joins us today to talk about some of the essentials for a happy, healthy home. This includes things like discipline, favoritism, having meal time, and just having fun together. Families are full of diverse people with different interests and strong opinions. Disagreements and resentment can make families feel far from connected.

Dr. Talley talks with us today about how to ensure that these things are not going on in your home. And if they are, how to resolve them. Every family is different and unique, and at the end of the day they are your only family. So cherishing the good times, and hashing out the issues, will create a much more loving and inviting environment for all family members.

Reimagining the Holidays

Beth Reeder Johnson is a licensed individual, family & couples therapist as well as a certified Imago Therapist trained to help couples reconnect. She joins us today to talk about reimagining the holidays. Some of the biggest conflict that couples have happen during the holidays and revolves around extended family. Because you have to choose whose family you will see during the holidays, it can create a lot of resentment. Beth talks about how she works with couples more often during the holidays because of the drastic impact these issues have on the relationship.

She also talks with us about meditating to reduce stress and to reframe your mindset on the issues you and your partner are going through. Listen in to hear what else Beth has to say about this.

In today's episode we talk with Jared Ramirez, CEO of Enviromedica, about probiotics. Tina continues her conversation from last week about HEC, and Mo continues his series on holiday mindfulness.

Enviromedica CEO - Jared Ramirez: Do You Need a Probiotic?

So, do you really need a probiotic? Yes, everyone absolutely needs probiotics every day. In today’s modern world, there is so much going against us and we are overloaded with toxins. On top of that, we are a very heavily medicated society and our guts are simply out of whack. Things that affect our gut are: processed foods, pollutants in the air, chemicals in our products, and stress. This being paired with prescription medication or antibiotics will put your body into a state of confusion and gut dysfunction.

Jared Ramirez is the CEO of Enviromedica, a company whose products reflect symbiotic combinations that occur in nature. Today he joins us to talk about the need for probiotics. Our gut is full of micro-organisms, so many in fact that it is still being studied. But, one thing we do know is that a full-spectrum probiotic, like Terraflora made by Enviromedica, can fight off bad bacteria and strengthen your gut health and gut function. Terraflora is a combination of spore form probiotics and food-based prebiotics. Jared joins us today to talk about his inspiration for creating Enviromedica, and how Terrflora is helping people all over the world.

Is your HEC in Check?

Tina Bernet Allen is a top personal trainer in the DFW area. She has so much experience training people to feel and look their best. In today’s episode, we continue our talk with Tina about HEC. HEC stands for hunger, energy, and cravings. These are all influenced by our hormones. We cover things like blood sugar, differences in fasting for men and women, and when you should eat after a workout. This topic is so important because it helps us to understand the signs and signals from our bodies. And then, respond.  Tina and the team break down the fact that no diet and lifestyle is a one-size-fits-all and you should talk to a professional for the best personalized advice.

Holiday Mindfulness with Mo

Mo Brossette is the director of mindset and nutrition at the Adaptive Training Foundation. Today we continue our series with Mo about some of the stressors revolved around the holidays and how you can practice mindfulness to reduce your stress. The holidays are a time to gather with loved ones and to get overly stuffed on good food. But, along with that comes a lot of stress. Visiting family can be one of the biggest reasons the holidays are a stressful time. Mo talks with us today about how we can take some of that stress off and be completely present with the people around us during the holidays. Simple steps to incorporate mindfulness can completely change your mindset around the holiday's.

In today's episode we talk with Sam Morris about vulnerability in sobriety, and DeWone Bennett talks about coping with family estrangement.

Vulnerability in Sobriety

Sobriety is a healing journey. For those who struggle with addiction and are seeking recovery, today's episode can help put you in the right direction. Sam Morris is a recovery coach and addiction consultant. He has joined us a few times to talk about his own recovery journey and other topics revolving around addiction. Today we talk about the power of vulnerability. Sometimes saying something out loud can really help you understand the depth of that issue. This is the same when it comes to sobriety.

The practice of vulnerability by sharing your testimony with others can be intimidating, but also rewarding. Things like depression, addiction, and eating disorders are all too common, yet those who suffer can feel extremely alone. By being vulnerable, and putting your own struggles out there you are helping others to feel not so alone. Listen in to hear all of Sam's advice about this.

Coping with Family Estrangement

DeWone Bennett is a licensed professional counselor with over 10 years of experience. Today we talk with him about how to cope with family estrangement. Sometimes family members simply lose touch. Other times, family members remove themselves from the family. Either way, coping with this distance from family can be difficult. DeWone explains to us how family hurts cut a little deeper than non-family hurts. As well, they can be more difficult get through. Now that we have social media, it is much easier to keep up with family and friends.

However, it still hurts when you have holiday get-together's or family reunions and certain family members are not present. This affects so many people and can really damage the family dynamic. The impact of a tight-knit family can be dramatic to a person's health and wellbeing. We talk about the power of family along with how to cope with estranged family.

Today we talk with Dr. Stephanie Setliff and Dr. Mike McFarland about managing all the stress that comes along with the holiday season.

Managing Holiday Stress

Both of our experts today are perfect for this discussion. Being licensed in psychiatry and psychology, we dive into this topic talking about the food aspect and the mental and emotional aspects. The holiday's are great; they are a time to gather with family, break bread, and relax. But most of the time it is not that simple.

Along with the holiday's comes planning extravagant meals for many people. This can be time consuming, exhausting, and overall too much stress for one person. We talk about some of the alternatives you can do during the holiday's that will take all that pressure and stress off of you (if you are in charge of food.) Then we talk about the stress of getting together with family and there being no drama...HA. With family, comes family drama, so sometimes that is inevitable. What can be detrimental is comparing this years festivities with past years, and feeling like you were let down.

We also talk about how the holiday's can create stress and anxiety for someone struggling with an eating disorder. All of these holiday stressors add up, and managing them can seem impossible. Listen in to hear some practical and easy ways to manage holiday stress.

* Dr. Stephanie Setliff is a child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist. She is certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and has specialized in the treatment of eating disorders for over 20 years.

* Dr. Mike McFarland is a Licensed Psychologist in the state of Texas, with a private practice in Dallas.

Furry Friday: Winter Weather and Pets

Maura Davies is the VP of communications for the SPCA of Texas. With winter approaching, temperatures are dropping all over the country, even here in Texas y'all!

Dr. Jen also works with one of our sponsors, Sunwarrior, formulating their supplements and protein powders. Today she joins us to explain the endocannabinoid system and how CBD oil works and can benefit us. The endocannabinoid system is something that to this day, isn't taught in medical school. Even though it is a system we all have in our bodies, just like our central nervous system or respiratory system. And just like all the systems of our bodies, it serves an important and unique purpose.

Dr. Jen tells us how our endocannabinoid system keeps our body in a state of homeostasis. Along with this, she explains why CBD is so beneficial, and what scientifically is going on when we feed our endocannabinoid system with the cannabinoids it needs to function properly. Sunwarrior has released an amazing CBD product, that Dr. Jen herself helped to formulate, and if you use the code "OLR" at checkout you will receive 20% off!

Stay on Track During the Holidays

Cassie Bjork joins us to talk about how we can keep our diet and exercise routines on track during the craziness and carb overload that occurs during the holidays. Less sleep, added stress, excess sugar intake, and less sun exposure (vitamin D) are all reasons we feel run down during the winter months. All of the holidays can start to run together and your routine of getting back on track to health and wellness may get lost along the way.

Cassie Bjork is here to make sure that doesn't happen. She gives us tips on all the things, including some advice on alcohol choices. Get more info from our girl Cassie, here.
