Sunburns aren't just about forgetting your sunscreen—they're often the result of deeper imbalances rooted in what you're eating, how your cells are built, and whether your body is equipped to handle the heat.

In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Jamie Belz unpacks the science behind sunburn, seed oils, and vitamin D deficiency—and how what you eat may be making your skin more vulnerable to UV damage. You'll learn how omega-6 PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids) from common seed oils get embedded in your skin's cell membranes and oxidize under sunlight, leading to inflammation, skin damage, and slower healing.

Jamie breaks down how to build true sun resilience using the Foundations of Health—including nutrient-dense fats, zinc, vitamin C, magnesium, and functional sun exposure strategies.

You'll walk away with a fresh perspective on:

• Why French fries and chips might be making you burn faster
• How to ditch toxic sunscreen without sacrificing protection
• The critical role of vitamin D synthesis and how to support it safely
• How to balance omega-6 and omega-3 fats for better skin and lower inflammation
• What your cell membranes are really made of—and how to nourish them naturally

Sunshine doesn't just make vitamin D—it makes you happy. And it might just save your skin, if you support it from within.

We've all heard women older than us talk about the hot flashes and hormonal mayhem that makes menopause a dreaded decade on the horizon, but what if it didn't have to be that way?!

In this eye-opening, laugh-filled, and incredibly practical episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz is joined by Patti McCoy—Assistant Instructor at the Nutritional Therapy Association, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP), and Certified Dietary Supplement Specialist (CDSS)—for a powerful conversation on navigating perimenopause, menopause, and midlife hormone shifts with grace, knowledge, and bio-individual strategy.

As an educator and wellness expert who's in the trenches of perimenopause herself, Patti brings wisdom, humor, and lived experience to this candid discussion about:

• Unexpected symptoms of perimenopause—what's "normal" vs. what needs support
• Weight gain, belly fat, and blood sugar dysregulation during hormonal shifts
• The truth about cholesterol, dietary fat, and hormone production
• Common misconceptions about libido, vaginal dryness, and mental health in midlife
• Practical, natural solutions including adaptogens, herbal support, and other
• How to decide if hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is right for you—and how to do it safely
• The importance of functional lab testing, personalized care, and supportive practitioners

Whether you're in your early 40s and just starting to notice changes or fully immersed in the "menopausal moments", this episode delivers clarity, strategy, and encouragement rooted in functional nutrition and clinical insight. Perhaps those younger than 40 stand to gain the most in that a properly calibrated, nutrient sufficient body will triumph the transition.

"Menopause is inevitable—but suffering is not."

– Patti McCoy, FNTP, CDSS

Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says, "I don't want to tell you what you can and cannot eat. I just want you to know what you're eating."

Today's episode is about providing solutions to help you cut out the middleman and take control so you KNOW what you're feeding your family - and can support local, small family farms along the way.

In this information-packed episode of the Nutritional Therapy & Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz welcomes Alexia Kulwiec, Executive Director of the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund, for a solution-focused conversation on how to legally source raw milk, pasture-raised meat, and nutrient-dense whole foods directly from local farmers.

We're not just talking about what not to eat—this is your real-world roadmap to clean food access in a system that often seems stacked against us and our access to nutrient-dense foods from local farmers.

From raw cheese loopholes and herdshares to custom meat processing, cottage food laws, and buying club tips, we explore how families can cut through red tape and bring real, nutrient-dense, ethically raised, and legally protected food to the table. Whether you've been making "egg deals in gas station parking lots" or just trying to figure out how to find a trustworthy source for raw milk, this episode is both empowering and practical.

Alexia explains:

• Why it's so hard to legally access raw dairy and clean meat in many states
• How federal and state food laws are designed to favor industrial agriculture over local farms
• What legal loopholes consumers and small farms are using (herdshares, custom exempt meat, cottage food laws)
• The truth about organic certification (and why it's not the gold standard)
• What you need to know about raw cheese, pastured poultry, and produce exemptions
• Where to start if you're ready to vote with your dollar and support regenerative food systems

You'll also hear actionable tips on:

• Navigating state-specific food laws
• Understanding the difference between "grass-fed" and "pasture-raised"
• How to talk to your farmer—and what questions to ask
• How to legally join or form a food buying club, private membership association, or herdshare

This episode is packed with legal insight, food freedom advocacy, and practical strategies for any parent, health-seeker, or food rebel looking to build a better grocery cart—one local farm at a time.

If you've been nodding along with the wellness movement but still aren't sure how to take your first real step—this episode is your warm welcome in.

People everywhere are waking up to a simple truth: real health doesn't come from pills, shakes, or short-term programs. Most of us have tried them—spent the money, followed the plans—only to end up frustrated or right back where we started. The missing piece? A strong foundation. And the good news is, it's not complicated—just a few practical, common-sense shifts can spark real, lasting change.

Join Jamie Belz, host of the Nutritional Therapy & Wellness Podcast, and Mike Belz, CEO of the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA), as they break down the Foundations of Wellness into common-sense, doable action steps for anyone just beginning their health journey.

This episode is packed with real talk, science-backed wisdom, and practical tips to help you pick your own adventure in a doable way. No more "all or nothing" attempts. Start over for the last time with one or a few of the easy but effective action steps you can incorporate today.

If you're ready to stop feeling overwhelmed and finally start your wellness journey, this episode breaks it down into six simple, sustainable categories—what we call the Foundations of Wellness. You'll learn how to:

• Eat a nutrient-dense diet rooted in real, whole foods (not calorie math), following Weston A. Price principles and honoring your bio-individual needs.
• Optimize digestion, the root of all health, by chewing thoroughly, practicing mindful eating, and supporting stomach acid and enzyme function (see Episode 11 for more).
• Balance blood sugar with small, daily habits like walking after meals and pairing carbs with protein and fat (see Episode 28).
• Improve sleep through calming evening routines, avoiding stimulants before bed, and aligning with your circadian rhythm.
• Reduce stress with tools like the 4-7-8 breath, gratitude practices, and brain dumping— (see Episode 42).
• Incorporate movement you actually enjoy—walking, dancing, or strength training—while supporting lymph flow, bone density, and energy.

You'll also hear real-life strategies like Mike's "gas station rule," how to track wins without perfectionism, and why home-cooked meals and community support are game changers. Most importantly, we'll help you find your why—the motivation that keeps you going when things get hard.

Whether you're trying to lose weight, heal your gut, regain energy, or just understand what "healthy" actually means, this episode gives you a practical, welcoming place to begin.

What would you say if I told you the reason we circumcise our boys is not about preventing UTIs - - - but to prevent masturbation?

I know. WHAT?!

It's historically accurate that the circumcision movement in the U.S. was aggressively promoted in the late 1800s by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg—yes, the cereal guy —to curb masturbation. Kellogg believed that removing the foreskin - which contains over 20,000 specialized nerve endings - to permanently expose the glans, which then becomes scarred, calloused, and desensitized, would reduce sexual pleasure and therefore discourage what he saw as immoral behavior.

They're literally cutting off what many consider the male equivalent of "the G-Spot."

Yes - it's uncomfortable to talk about the sexual implications of a procedure performed on infants, but every adult male was once an infant - and it gets deeply personal for adult men when they learn what they lost without consent because their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents were lied to.

This episode is personal for me. In 2008, I blindly handed over my newborn son for this "routine" procedure. Saying that now saddens my soul. I grew up in the Midwest. Circumcision is "normal." It's heart-wrenching to know THAT'S IT - cosmetic normalcy and smoke-and-mirror, for-profit, pseudo"science." That's why we do it - a cultural blind spot.

The AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS even SAYS there's NO SUBSTANTIAL HEALTH BENEFIT.

I heard my brand new baby boy's torturous screams as they performed - without anesthesia - this truly barbaric procedure billed to insurance as "circumcision." It changed me. This became a truth I had to tell.

My guest is Eric Clopper, an attorney and former employee of Harvard University. Eric gained international attention with his viral lecture, "Sex & Circumcision: An American Love Story," performed at Harvard in 2018. It cost him his job, but created a platform to expose the cultural, religious, and medical forces keeping parents in the dark.

Through his legal practice, The Clopper Law Firm, P.C., and as the founding president of Intact Global, Eric challenges the constitutionality of laws permitting male genital cutting while prohibiting female genital mutilation, arguing that such laws violate the Equal Protection Clause.

Thank you for reading, listening, and sharing. This conversation isn't easy - and it isn't about blame or shame. It's about waking up to truth.

Good news: Change is happening. Circumcision rates in the U.S. have dropped to below 55% today—and even lower in some regions. Your son or grandson won't be alone. Being intact is becoming the new normal. The fear of being "different" or bullied in a locker room is fading fast as many parents are choosing to protect wholeness over conformity.

It takes some serious testicular fortitude to be the dad willing to say, "My son doesn't have to look like me." - That's how healing begins. That's how cycles end.

I'm so thankful you're here. May this conversation stay with you—not as judgment, but as clarity. Not as fear, but as freedom.

With so much love, empathy, and hope,

—Jamie

Eating crickets and meat grown in a lab with cancer-like cells - WHO APPROVED THAT?!

Scott Tips, president of the National Health Federation (NHF) and internationally recognized health freedom attorney, joins host, Jamie Belz, to help us understand the deeper mechanisms of Codex Alimentarius, the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the global regulatory web that threatens access to nutrient-dense food, natural health remedies, and therapeutic supplements.

As the only health-freedom organization with official INGO (International Non-Governmental Organization) status at Codex, NHF is uniquely positioned to stand up for the public's right to safe, informed, and autonomous healthcare choices on the global stage.

Over the last 70 years, NHF has defended medical choice and challenged the federal government's overreach into nutrition, supplementation, and holistic healing.

Some quick topics/snippets from this episode:

• Codex creates international food law—affecting everything from vitamin dosage limits to whether or not your meat contains drug residues.
• Most people don't even know Codex exists. And yet, decisions made there determine what shows up in your grocery cart, your supplement bottle, and your child's plate.
• The U.S. can now force genetically modified foods into countries that don't want them — not through diplomacy, but through international tribunals using Codex standards as their weapon.

• Ractopamine is a drug with zero therapeutic value. It makes animals fatter, faster — but it's banned in the EU, China, and Russia. In the U.S., you're probably eating it.

• When you hear 'scientific consensus,' be cautious. The phrase is used to bulldoze public concern.
• You can be banned for calling out corruption at Codex.
• At CODEX, NHF is the only one defending your right to natural health freedom.

• The EU, Russia, even Iran — they've stood up for consumer safety at Codex more than the U.S. delegates have.
• The scary thing isn't just what the FDA is doing. It's how many people still trust them, blindly — even when their actions have harmed more people than every U.S. war combined.

• We need advocacy from the ground up. Most parents feeding their kids toxic food don't even know it — because the truth has been buried.
• "Frankenmeat", insect protein, and natural flavoring cover-ups, all of which bypass transparent labeling laws while being quietly introduced into the food supply.

• They're trying to outlaw homeopathy—while promoting lab-grown meat and insect protein as sustainable alternatives.
• We don't want to be right. We want to get it right.

"Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship… To restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic." - Dr. Benjamin Rush, Declaration of Independence signator and Surgeon General of the Continental Army

"If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as the souls of those who live under tyranny." - Thomas Jefferson

Health freedom is necessary. As government and corporate interests grow more entangled, grassroots advocacy is no longer optional. It's essential. Join the NHF and become part of the movement to reclaim sovereignty over what we eat, how we heal, and what we're allowed to know.

In this rich and revealing episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz welcomes the legendary Sally Fallon Morell, author of Nourishing Traditions and founding president of the Weston A. Price Foundation, for an eye-opening conversation that blends ancestral nutrition, holistic health, and spiritual alignment in today's toxic food and medical culture. Together, they unpack the roots of nutritional wisdom, challenge mainstream health narratives, and dive into controversial yet essential topics including raw milk, vaccine injury, the decline of small family farms, and why butter (not margarine) belongs on your plate. Sally also shares the spiritual significance of honoring the body as a temple, discusses the dietary crisis facing modern society, and offers practical advice to reclaim your family's health.

Critical topics include:

• The difference between raw milk vs. pasteurized milk and the science behind why raw milk supports digestion, immunity, and childhood development

• The impact of vaccines on child health, including SIDS, chronic illness, and Sally's perspective on medical freedom

• The decline of small family farms and why local, regenerative agriculture must be preserved

• Why traditional animal fats like butter, liver, and fish eggs are essential for hormonal health, fertility, and brain development

• How processed foods, protein powders, and synthetic vitamins are silently damaging our population

• Sally's perspective on the spiritual roots of nourishment, including Biblical insights into food, the sacredness of the body, and how nutrition aligns with God's design

• The legacy of Dr. Weston A. Price and the principles behind his research on indigenous diets and generational health

• Practical tips to start your real food journey, like the one-minute fix that could radically improve your family's health: making your own salad dressing

Jamie also opens up about her personal transformation from following mainstream health advice to finding healing through the Nutritional Therapy Association and Weston A. Price teachings—especially after a vaccine injury in her own family. The episode ends with a bold, hope-filled vision for the future of food, faith, and functional nutrition, including Sally's call for churches to reawaken to the importance of the body as the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Whether you're an NTP, parent, homesteader, church leader, or just someone seeking truth in a world of health confusion, this episode will inspire and empower you to live nourished, informed, and aligned—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
