In this podcast episode I had an insightful conversation with Dr. Dale, aka The Wild Doc, about our healthcare experiences. Dr. Dale emphasizes his role in helping patients understand their bodies rather than claiming to "heal" them. We delve into the significance of addressing thoughts, traumas, and toxins in health. I share my positive experience with Dr. Dale's holistic approach.We discuss the concept of functional medicine, with an emphasis on addressing root causes rather than just symptoms. During the episode, we also explore the importance of liver function, the role of essential nutrients, and the idea of aligning our diet with human biology. The conversation takes a deep dive into the potential risks associated with the use of exogenous testosterone, underscoring the necessity for a holistic approach to health. We conclude our discussion by addressing the concerns surrounding healthcare costs and the profit-driven healthcare model. We touch on topics like raw milk, synthetic meats, and the significance of being well-informed about healthcare choices. Throughout this episode, we encourage our audience to ask questions and think critically about their health and nutrition.

Ohio native Jimmy Feeman graduated from Belmont in 2015 with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance. Prior to NoBaked, Jimmy worked at Jackson National in the sales and marketing department. Jimmy was also a consultant for the Tennessee Treasury Department. Jimmy’s experience combined with his knowledge of business has led the way for NoBaked to grow from a small pop-up into a thriving multi-store operation. When he is not helping Megan run the company, Jimmy enjoys craft beer, outdoor activities, watching hockey, and hiking. In early 2017, Megan Feeman began making NoBaked Cookie Dough in Nashville, TN.

Since then, Megan and her husband, Jimmy, along with their team, have been shipping cookie dough all over the United States. 

NoBaked is cookie dough that you can eat AND bake. It's prepackaged in a jar but tastes like you just made it in your own kitchen & are eating it straight out of the bowl.

Their delicious product combined with their relatable brand is something you won't find in your local grocery store.
