Join us as we dive into a topic that's becoming more and more concerning—how plastics are seeping into our food system and affecting our bodies. Not just plastic wrappers or containers; but microplastics and nanoplastics—tiny, almost invisible particles—are ending up in our foods and, eventually, inside us. So, in this episode we're going to explore how these plastics get into our bodies and brains and the potential health risks they pose, especially for those of us recovering from the effects of ultra-processed foods.

Today, we're looking at a topic that is often woven deeply into the journey of recovering from ultra-processed food addiction—and that is healing past trauma. For many of us, our relationship with food isn't just about hunger or cravings. It's about emotions, past wounds, and unresolved pain that we carry with us, sometimes without even realizing it? But how do you know when those past traumas are truly healed? How can you measure it? And what is the best way to approach that healing process? If you're wondering these same things, listen in, because this episode is for you!

Join us as we dive into a hot topic: GLP-1 hormones—what they are, why they're essential, and how you can naturally boost them without relying on external GLP-1 Agonists like Ozempic or Mounjaro. We'll dive into how our bodies create these GLP-1, (glucagon-like peptide-1) hormones that play a key role in regulating blood sugar, appetite, and even weight. They are our body's amazing built-in support system for keeping cravings and energy levels in check and it can be enhanced naturally by making smart lifestyle and dietary changes. In this episode, we'll walk you through those changes step by step.
