Are you going through menopause, suffering from hot flashes, or maybe you’re just adversely affected by the hormonal changes that occur with your cycle? Many women struggle with hormone imbalance, and are often told that either the only way to balance their hormones is through hormone replacement therapy, or they need to just push through because it’s not possible to safely relieve their condition. Are these really the only options, or can you balance your hormones naturally?

In this episode, I am with Dr. Christiane Northrup, who is a board-certified OB/GYN physician and New York Times bestselling author. She's internationally known for her empowering approach to women's health and wellness, and her goal is teaching women how to thrive at every stage of life. Dr. Northrup shares her knowledge on hormone imbalance and answers the question of how to balance hormones naturally.

In today’s health sphere, there are piles of conflicting information; so much so that it’s easy to become confused. Furthermore, much of the information is often based on opinion and not backed by science. Are lectins good or bad for you? Does homeopathy really work? Can muscle testing actually tell you whether a certain product is healthy? What does science really say about food intolerance testing?

In this episode, we get the answers to all these questions and more as I speak with Dr. Alan Christianson. A New York Times bestselling author and a naturopathic medical doctor with a specialty in endocrinology, he’s just all around scientific badass.

Dr. Christianson has spent countless hours going through scientific studies on the topics we cover in this episode, and he is here to share his findings with you. So, if you wonder about whether lectins are truly dangerous, whether gluten actually causes autoimmune disease, or whether mycotoxins are unhealthy, then you should take the time to listen in.

Do you want to have younger looking skin? How about more energy? Do you need relief from pain or arthritis? Maybe you suffer from Hashimoto's, diabetes, or are at risk of brain-related diseases (Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s). Perhaps you have some stubborn fat or cellulite you can’t seem to shed. Believe it or not, there is a therapy scientifically proven in over 5,000 studies to do all that and more! It's red light therapy (and near-infrared light therapy). (You may be aware that I recently wrote a book on this subject, The Ultimate Guide to Red Light Therapy.)

As you have heard me discuss many times, sleep is essential to good health and energy levels. It’s a top priority for me and my family, and when we moved house last year, I set out to find the best bed for our needs. I had some simple criteria, it needed to provide the right comfort and support, it needed to be able to last long (as most mattresses are worn out within 1-2 years after purchase), and it needed to be a non toxic mattress. To be fair, it took me months to find the right mattress. So, why is a good mattress important? And how can you find the best non toxic mattress for amazing sleep?

Robert has made it his life’s purpose to develop mattresses that help people have amazing sleep (and great health and energy as a result), He will uncover the truth about mattresses and how they can affect your sleep and how to find the best non-toxic mattress for amazing sleep.
