What is your perception of mushrooms? Have you ever read any studies or listened to any podcast episodes explaining the health benefits of mushrooms?

 

If not, this is the episode for you because Jeff Chilton is joining me to tell us all about his career, his journey, how he learned about everything to do with the mushroom industry, and more.

 

With over 40 years of experience in the medicinal (non-hallucinogenic) mushroom industry, Jeff is looking to spread his wealth of knowledge about our fungi friends and their incredible health benefits! 

 

In the late 60s after studying Ethno-mycology (the study of human-fungal interactions) at the University of Washinton Jeff began a career as a large-scale commercial mushroom grower. From there, with a lack of medicinal mushrooms and extracts available in the US market, he founded Nammex, the first certified organic mushroom extract and supplement company in the US. To this day Jeff continues to spread awareness of all the incredible health benefits mushrooms can have on the human body and to inform the public that most mushroom extracts on the market aren’t even real!

 

We cover the nutritional and medicinal benefits of mushrooms, why everyone should use mushrooms as preventative medicine, how to make sure you choose the right mushroom, and more, so listen closely because mushrooms might be something you need to consider on your own health journey!

How do you know if you have parasites?

 

Symptoms can include unexplained constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating, nausea, joint pain, skin issues, and more, so Dr. Jaban Moore is joining me in this episode to talk about how to know if parasites are the cause of your symptoms and then what to do about it.

At age 25, he went from being an award-winning top athlete in college to feeling like he couldn’t even get out of bed.

He later was diagnosed with Lyme disease and dedicates his practice to helping clients get to the root cause of their chronic illness. Dr. Moore specializes in Lyme disease and co-infections, PANS/PANDAS, autism, heavy metals, parasites, gut health, mitochondrial support, and other viruses and pathogens.

Do you have thyroid imbalances or know a woman who does?

Shannon Hansen has quickly become a leader of Holistic Nutrition. She has certificates as a Holistic Wellness Practitioner, Functional Nutrition Practitioner, and Life Coach. Shannon has co-authored a book, and she passionately educates women with thyroid imbalances to gain freedom from fatigue by removing chronic triggers and replenishing their bodies so that they can restore their health quickly and stop sleeping their way through life.

 

We are covering some of the things that can stop your thyroid from working properly, certain foods that can help restore thyroid function, and how to get your thyroid hormones back to normal.

 

We've done several episodes discussing the thyroid, but I don’t think we can do enough of them because it's so prominent in women's health.

Yoga has helped me become better equipped to deal with life’s stressors, and I know a lot of people and some of my patients can say the same thing!

 

My guest in this episode is one of those people! Emily Vendemmia, an extraordinary yoga instructor and studio owner in Annapolis, is joining me to talk all about it.

 

Emily discovered yoga in 2005, and she began taking classes at a local studio. At first, she would join class twice a week, but within six months, she was practicing every single day and sneaking out of work early to catch sessions. That’s when she realized that yoga had become the most important thing in her life.

 

We talk about why yoga had such a large impact on Emily’s life but also about the benefits of exercise in general. If yoga is not your thing, you will love this episode too because we get into why exercise is such a vital piece of self-care.

 

From the physical benefits to the emotional and mental benefits of exercise, we get into it all. This episode will leave you inspired and excited for your next workout, no matter what you choose to do!

Have you or someone you know experienced a miscarriage?

 

This is so common, but unfortunately, it isn’t talked about nearly enough. So many women go through this event in their life and often don't feel like they can share it with their friends or family.

 

In this episode, we are changing that. Allison Schaaf is back on the show to talk about miscarriage. We cover Allison’s story, the lack of tools and resources for women, the pressure and overwhelm of healing after miscarriage and so much more.

 

Chef & Dietitian Allison Schaaf is the founder of Prep Dish, a gluten-free, paleo & keto meal planning service that helps busy moms get dinner on the table with ease. She is also the founder of Miscarriage Hope Desk, a hopeful space for those struggling with recurrent pregnancy loss. 

 

Allison holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Culinary Nutrition from Johnson & Wales University, a Master’s Degree in Nutrition Communications from Tufts University, and became a Registered Dietitian at New England Medical Center. Allison has been featured on 50+ podcasts including Asian Efficiency, Entrepreneur on Fire, Smart Passive Income, Food Blogger Pro and more!

 

This is a difficult thing to talk about, but I think it's a really important topic to listen to. Listen in to learn more and if you have suffered, to know you’re not alone.
