          This week I welcomed Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD on my show to talk about the power of nutrient density through the lens of her new book, Nutrivore: The Radical New Science for Getting the Nutrients You Need from the Food You Eat. Nutrivore is the revolutionary yet simple dietary concept: get all the nutrients our bodies need from the foods we eat. To Dr. Sarah, Nutrivore represents a completely new way to think about foods.

Dr. Sarah shares insights from her transition from medical research to health advocacy, underlining the importance of nutrient density, debunking dietary myths, and proposing a balanced, informed way of living.

Drawing from her extensive experience as an integrative oncologist, breast surgeon, and founder of PerfeQTion Imaging, Dr. Jenn shares insights from her new book, The Smart Woman’s Guide to Breast Cancer, which was released earlier this month.

Her own illness led her to discover functional medicine. So enamored with the concept of creating health rather than killing disease, she left traditional medicine in 2019 and founded Real Health MD to help women along their breast cancer journey truly heal.

          Tune in to hear Dr. Jenn share her passion for transforming breast cancer care, honoring the memory of her cousin Linda Creed, and advocating for a holistic approach to breast health.

              • 10. The Power of Mitochondria in Health and Medicine (with Todd LePine, MD)

                This week I welcomed Todd LePine, MD to my show to talk about the critical role of mitochondria, the cell's powerhouse, impacting virtually all bodily functions from movement to brain activity. Beginning with an overview of what mitochondria is and its importance, Dr. LePine looks ahead to share the potential of mitochondrial medicine in shaping the landscape of future healthcare.


                Dr. Lepine, a veteran in functional and integrative medicine, shares the surprising story that led him to his medical practice (that includes the famous Norman Rockwell painting, “Before the Shot”). Our conversation spans the importance of lifestyle choices, dietary habits, stress management, and environmental factors on mitochondrial health. We discuss strategies like intermittent fasting, high-intensity interval training, and exposure to natural light as opportunities to enhance mitochondrial function. Dr. LePine also shares an overview of things to avoid to preserve mitochondrial integrity and underscores the importance of connecting with nature for overall well-being. 


                Dr. LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. Additionally, he has advanced clinical training through the Institute for Functional Medicine and is a certified Functional Medicine physician. The focus of his practice is to help patients achieve optimal health by restoring balance to nutritional biochemistry in the body and to teach patients how to adopt healthy lifestyle habits.


                Tune as we discuss the profound interconnectedness between mitochondrial health and our broader quality of life, including encouragement to build a strong community, find a movement practice you enjoy, and spend more time in nature.

                This week, I welcomed Dr. Darin Ingels on my show to discuss all things Lyme disease, from getting a diagnosis to finding effective treatments. Dr. Ingels, himself a former Lyme patient, shares his remarkable journey of overcoming a three-year battle with the disease through a holistic approach, incorporating dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, and natural and herbal therapies tailored to his body's needs.

Despite the growing prevalence of Lyme disease, Dr. Ingels shares a message of hope as he has treated nearly ten thousand Lyme patients and his goal remains helping people regain their health. 


                Together, we discuss the importance of taking an innovative approach to treatment that emphasizes diet, lifestyle, and natural therapies. Dr. Ingels, with extensive experience treating Lyme patients, shares insights into the complexities of Lyme disease, including its autoimmune aspects and how it can intertwine with conditions like mold toxicity. We also share actionable health tips from Dr. Ingels aimed at individuals possibly facing Lyme disease or other chronic conditions.
