The First Lady of Nutrition Podcast with Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., C.N.S.

Ann Louise Gittleman Interviews Udo Erasmus

The legendary First Lady of Nutrition sits down with the legendary Udo Erasmus – forerunner of the health and wellness industry and father of the healthy oils and fats movement.  Join these two pioneers as they passionately discuss the alarming trend in the industry to diminish the use of the Essential Fatty Acids with the ‘new oils’ of convenience (MCT, coconut, macadamia nut, etc.).  Based on decades of peer review studies and efficacy, EFAs are known to be the building blocks for our body’s construction and energy production and cannot be replaced.  Ann Louise and Udo revisit the fats that heal and the fats that harm in this jammed packed and enlightening interview that finally sets the record straight.

Ann Louise Gittleman Interviews Pedram Shojai

Pedram Shojai is a former Taoist monk who is an accomplished physician of Chinese medicine and has lectured on wellness all around the world.  His no-nonsense approach teaches esoteric concepts to Western readers in an easy-to-understand way.  Ann Louise and Pedram jump in with both feet to discuss the reality of trauma in our personal lives, and in the world in which we live – “it hums in the background of our lives and robs us of the joy, faith, peace, and love we fully deserve.”  They discuss the difference between ‘big T and little t trauma,’ the ways that trauma can alter and impact the physical body if left unaddressed, and most importantly the ways we can halt the cycle of trauma today to prevent future generations from swimming in the trauma of their childhoods.  Pedram is the best-selling author of “Trauma: Healing Your Past to Find Freedom Now” and his popular podcast “The Urban Monk” invites you to join in the conversation exploring what it means to live with balance in the 21st century.

Ann Louise Gittleman Interviews Dr. Thomas Lewis

Ann Louise has always been a believer that without testing you are only guessing.   She has met her match with Dr. Thomas Lewis, a Ph.D. in Chemistry from MIT with a certificate from the Harvard School of Public Health.  Dr. Lewis emphatically believes that ‘good health isn’t a mystery – Its measurable.’  He is a believer, like Ann Louise, that chronic simmering infections like chlamydia pneumonia, mycoplasma, and Epstein-Barr may be the root cause of many incurable health conditions.  Tune in as Ann Louise and Dr. Lewis discuss how testing for chronic infections and hidden diseases can not only give you a new lease on life but give back to you the ‘stealth health’ you have always hoped for.  Dr. Lewis has created a software-based medical evaluation form that is designed to determine the current and future risk of accelerated aging and chronic disease in individuals, called the Chronic Disease Assessment.
