Ash enjoyed sitting down with our friend, Dr. Chris Knobbe, to discuss PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids). We dive into the specific health consequences that occur when PUFAs become a high % of your diet. These fats aren’t toxins, but the dose makes the poison. We discuss why you should not try to increase your Omega 6 or Omega 3 consumption - prioritize saturated fats!

Chris Knobbe, MD, is a physician, researcher, ophthalmologist, public health advocate, and Associate Clinical Professor Emeritus, formerly of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Texas.   Dr. Knobbe’s research has focused greatly on the “vegetable oil hypothesis” as the primary driver of overweight and chronic disease.  In 2016, Knobbe formally introduced the hypothesis that processed foods and vegetable oils are the primary drivers of AMD, which is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss and blindness in people over the age of 50, worldwide.

We were blessed to sit down and talk with Kate Kavanaugh today, the founder of Western Daughters Butcher Shop in Colorado, the host of Mind, Body and Soil Podcast, and an overall badass farmer/butcher/woman - you’re going to want to hear her story!

The bulk of the conversation is centered around the idea that farming, butchering, and every step of the process of “farm to table” is not without hardships. Kate shares her own struggles keeping Western Daughters afloat, and brings up important considerations regarding the food and farming systems in America, and the struggles this not only brings upon the farmer, but the consumer. Learn how you can do your part to support local farmers with smaller, more realistic steps that go a long ways. We also talk about community, how most of us are seeking to “find our tribe” and feel a part of something greater, which involve the food that is placed at our tables. The importance of having conversations, being open minded, and finding individuals whom seek to evolve and expand their horizons with you cannot be overlooked. We hope you enjoy this candid conversation and we’ll absolutely have Kate back on to talk more about her dietary influences and her perspective on healing.

We had the pleasure of talking with Dr. Tom Cowan in this episode intended to challenge your current beliefs about the human body, what makes us sick, and consider a new outlook on healing. It may seem simple, but in Dr. Tom’s eyes, it is. Or at least, things are not as complex (or maybe more complex) than what we’ve been led to believe. Basically, Dr. Tom challenges us all to question everything, and in doing so, we are prompted to look at beliefs we’ve formed based on evidence that may not be substantial enough to warrant entire theories or our working knowledge on topics to stem from.

Tune in to learn more why Dr. Tom gave up his medical license, whether he believes “viruses” are indeed what makes us sick, whether the heart is a pump, his thoughts on cellular structures within the body (you know, like the endoplasmic reticulum pictures you’ve seen in your high school textbooks), genetics, cancer, structured water, immune system, EMFs, light, etc… At the end, we try to simplify this discussion down into what Dr. Tom believes is crucial for the human body to heal. It was a refreshing outlook when things can seem so complex and scary at times. 

Hope you enjoy!

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).
