In this episode, we talk with independent researcher and health coach, Danny Roddy, who has been involved in the bioenergetic health space for some time now, after years of prior experimentation with his own health. We discuss Danny's greatest takeaways from working on his own health plus helping others, what a full day of eating looks like for Danny and how this has evolved, fiber, gut health, environmental toxins, supplements, tuning into yourself, WiFi/EMFs, and what Danny would do if he lived in the city.

This episode is all about CIRS: Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome. Sarah shares her experience being diagnosed with CIRS, and reviews the Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker Biotoxin Pathway that manifests in the body once CIRS is triggered.

Male Infertility is on the rise and In today's episode we talk with Georgi Dinknov, independent researcher and founder of IdeaLabs and blogger at Haidut.me, about why this is happening. Georgi provides his insight into the decline in testosterone in males, why we're becoming more estrogen dominant as a society and then we discuss what we can do about it, so environmental, lifestyle and dietary factors that we can implement in order to increase testosterone (if you are a male). This information heavily applies to females, as well, who are dealing with estrogen dominance.

A deep dive into home births, preconception prep, c-sections, the practice of circumcision, and more with Lindsey Meehleis, a traditional midwife whose been practicing midwifery for nearly 2 decades.

Seed oils are intricately laced within our society. Every time you eat out, the food is more than likely cooked in seed oils if not containing an ingredient list that includes seed oils to begin with. In this episode, we talk with the Seed Oil Scout who created an invaluable resource for us all to better scout out and avoid seed oils while still enjoying eating out via the app, Seed Oil Scout (SOS).

In this episode we cover the importance of balancing detoxing with nourishment, different forms of detoxing, Adam's experience with liver flushing (aka the liver and gallbladder cleanse), coffee enemas, why we may consider placing emphasis on detox and who could benefit as well as how to properly nourish yourself along the way. Adam is the founder of LifeBlud, a supplement company out of Canada that provides supplements free of additives and stabilizers to support a bioenergetic lifestyle. His background of unhealthy eating and drinking brought him to a radical realization in his 20s that in order to continue to feel great and enjoy life the way he wanted to, he needed to make some changes. Adam's long journey through different detox diets led him to the "pro metabolic" world where he recognized the importance of supporting his metabolism. He now has a unique appreciation for both detoxification + supporting the metabolism and in this episode we tried our best to dive into the nuances of how we can do both at the same time, and how both of these modalities actually work together. 

Please keep in mind that this podcast is just a discussion and not medical advice. Everything we discuss is based on our own research and experience + Adam's research and experience and is not applicable for everyone. We will be having a separate conversation between the two of us (Sarah and Ashley) next to address some of the nuances that were not discussed and also provide a bit more insight on different forms of detoxification and our personal experiences, outcomes, suggestions/tips, and more.

A conversation with Georgi Dinkov about the connections between elevated estrogen, histamine, serotonin, and endotoxin - four components to what often becomes a viscous cycle of estrogen dominance, gut issues, mood issues, histamine issues, and more. Learn why serotonin is not simply "the happy hormone" and excess serotonin produced in the gut is actually a bad sign. Estrogen is not simply the female hormone, and elevated levels of estrogen are often missed due to low or normal blood levels, but high levels stored in the tissues. Histamine intolerance should be addressed with the greater picture in mind. improving the metabolic rate and addressing estrogen dominance. Elevated endotoxin is toxic to the entire body and often exists in states with higher levels of estrogen, serotonin, and histamine.

Georgi provides some details regarding the corruption within big pharma, SSRIs, and other drugs. We also discuss the benefits of aspirin and progesterone, progesterone and thyroid during pregnancy, chicken health, and a few other random topics.

Towards the end, you'll learn some practical steps you can take to break the estrogen-histamine-serotonin-endotoxin cycle to start alleviating many symptoms and further along your healing journey.

Understanding what foods to eat, how much food to eat, what macros (how much protein, fats, and carbs) and so on can be tough, especially in today's diet-culture. In this episode, we provide our perspective on what it means to follow just another fear-based "diet" with rules, versus actually starting eating intentionally to heal your body and reach your goals. We go over macro tracking and who would benefit from tracking their macros, what macros are, what good macronutrient splits look like and how to determine the optimal macros for yourself. We also talk about determining whether seasonal eating is realistic and if it truly is the optimal way to eat + whether or not intuitive eating works, especially for those that have dieted in the past or have an altered metabolic state (like hypothyroidism, hormonal imbalances, weight to lose or gain, etc.) + more.

Hopefully this episode provides a little more hope in regards to exiting the never ending and ever evolving diet-culture, and finally becoming in tune with your individual body's needs and preferences to start healing and thriving.

With that said, in today's episode, we both share the 5 most influential experiences or mistakes along our individual journeys that have gotten us to where we are today. Hopefully this will help listeners understand where we are coming from, and what we'll talk about into the future on this podcast.
