On this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Corinne Trimarchi shares the story of her son's very challenging start to life - having struggled with a complex case of food allergies.

Corinne is a wife, mom of two boys, a board-certified holistic nutrition practitioner, and a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach. Corinne received her nutrition training from the Nutritional Therapy Association and coaching training from the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy. She specializes in allergies, eczema, digestion, and gut health in babies, children, and adults.

As Corinne tells of having her world turned upside down following the birth of her second son, she discusses working with various specialists, a long list of prescription medications, various diagnoses, referrals to more specialists, and still - no answers. She has committed her life to helping other parents navigate the challenges of childhood allergies, offering hope for the reversal of these conditions which were once considered a life sentence.

Corinne honors the bio-individual approach, taught through the Nutritional Therapy Association while working with her clients. She says, "We are all biochemically unique and our wellness should be approached with that in mind." Corinne helps families better understand how food and environmental factors influence the expression of genes and the trajectory of health.

In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC, and fellow FNTP, Stephanie Ewals, CNS, Licensed Nutritionist, owner of Out of the Woods Nutrition, and host of the Help For Hashimotos podcast talk about the end product of digestion - poop. Talking about pooping is a total taboo, but it's an important topic.

The prevalence of GI disorders such as diarrhea, constipation, and alternating diarrhea and constipation is extremely common, with 3-5% of the U.S. population experiencing chronic diarrhea. Globally, 16% of adults experience chronic constipation - up to 19% of adults in the U.S. and a whopping 33% of adults over the age of 60 experience chronic constipation.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) with Alternating Diarrhea and Constipation, characterized by symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and variability in bowel habits, affect 10-15% of the global population. Among those with IBS, a significant portion (around 25-30%) experiences alternating diarrhea and constipation (IBS-M, mixed type).

In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz and Svein Erik Haugmo, Co-founder and CEO of ORIVO, a third-party testing laboratory in Norway, discuss the high level of fraudulence in the fish oil industry.

80% of the best-selling fish oil supplements on Amazon are NOT what the companies selling them say they are. Eighty percent of label claims were found to be inaccurate representations of the product found in the bottle.

After realizing the abundance of unethical and immoral, greedy business practices within this area, Svein and his team at Orivo developed a one-of-a-kind, revolutionary origin verification technology to test consumable fish products for people and pets. They collaborate with supplement companies to help promote transparency, fight fraudulence, and protect consumers around the globe.

In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Mike throws Jamie a pop-quiz-style twist to the format as they dive into what's been coined "greenwashing" or "health halos" as the buzzwords Big Food uses to convince you to buy their foods because these words have become known to signify or indicate healthier food options. The problem is, the front of the package doesn't always align with what you see on the back when you flip it over to read the nutrition facts and ingredients.
