The Joel Evan Show

Today, I've got the Biohacker Babes, Lauren Sambataro and Renee Belz. They both grew up in a health-driven family that prioritized the fundamentals of wellness and self-care (don’t worry, there was lots of mac n’ cheese and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!). Their father, Gene Sambataro, The Original Biohacker and pioneer of Holistic Dentistry, taught them the importance of individualization and experimentation from a very young age.

Coming together as health entrepreneurs, Renee a Certified Nutritional Consultant and Holistic Lifestyle Coach with a Master’s degree in Nutrition, and Lauren, a Broadway performer, Corrective Exercise specialist and Functional Health Coach, feel a strong passion and drive to not only share each of their journeys towards wellness, but their strategy and motivation to discover our unique bodies through the world of biohacking.

Their podcast, the Biohacker Babes, aims to create insight into the body’s natural healing abilities, strengthen your intuition, and empower you with techniques and modalities to optimize your health and wellness.

Extremely blessed to have Desiree De Spong on the podcast today, the founder/creator of Flowpresso. Desiree was struck by the benefits of full-body lymphatic therapy and drainage and saw life-changing results in a wide variety of people. Desiree couldn't find a device that could do what she wanted, so she developed her own.

The Flowpresso uses non-invasive natural therapy that enhances overall health which delivers a 3-in-1 sensory treatment, comprising: compression, deep pressure, and thermodynamic heat. This unique combination of therapies releases toxins and puts the body into a ‘rest and restore’ state, working with our physiological processes to switch off fight or flight mechanisms, and facilitate healing and repair.

Desiree said, "yes detoxing and removing the garbage from your body is important, but restoring the lymphatics has much more dramatic changes in sleep, stress, and anxiety.

Excited to have Dana Kay on the show to talk about a really important topic that is effecting a lot of families these days, ADHD. Dana is a Board-Certified Holistic Health and Nutrition Practitioner and the CEO and founder of the ADHD Thrive Institute, and the creator of the ADHD Thrive Method 4 Kids program. She also just published the book THRIVING WITH ADHD: A Guide to Naturally Reducing ADHD Symptoms in Your Child. 

More than 6 million children in the United States have been diagnosed with ADHD with more than 60% of those children solely relying on medication for treatment. Following her son’s diagnosis, Dana did what many parents do: began her son on medication. Unfortunately, while helping her son focus, the medication also led to increased anxiety, weight loss, and sleepless nights. Eventually, the side effects became too big to ignore. Leaning on her training in holistic health and nutrition and all of the research she could find, she and her family changed course to an all-natural approach that has enabled her son to thrive. Dana’s son is now in middle school, he is happy and thriving and has not been on medication for years.

In this interview, we talk about:

• What are some of the worst foods for children with ADHD? 
•  What do children with ADHD need to eat MORE of?
• Beyond changing the foods our children eat, what are other necessary steps to support ADHD naturally? 
• What are some of the common underlying stressors you see in children with ADHD? 
• What functional lab tests are your favorites in working with children with ADHD? 
• What are some of the beneficial dietary supplements?
