In this episode, we stick close to home and highlight one of the many wonderful vendors that you'll find at Good Foods Grocery. I had the wonderful opportunity to chat with Steve and Mary Kennedy, owners of Clean Conscience Chocolates.

Mary is Co-Founder and Chocolatier Steve is Co-Founder and Head of Operations Bios: Mary started her career in high tech sales and after getting tired of corporate life, took the plunge to pursue a dream and became a personal chef for her local community in Fredericksburg, back in the very early days of personal 'chef-ing'.

Over time, her special homemade chocolate 'thank you' treats for her clients became so popular, she decided to pursue her passion of chocolate and became a chocolatier and soon opened her own shops and eventually, in partnership with Steve, decided to launch their own line of healthy chocolates that better aligned with their commitment to a healthy lifestyle - and Clean Conscience Chocolates was born.

Steve also had a long career in sales, business development and consulting for high-tech start-ups. After meeting Mary, they jointly decided to switch gears and apply their entrepreneurial spirit to their own venture and go into business together doing what they both love and helping other people find healthy chocolate snacks they don't need to feel guilty about eating.

If you're in the Richmond area, you'll find Clean Conscience Chocolates at Good Foods Grocery and you won't be disappointed because come on, who doesn't like chocolate? Except for maybe Steve...but that was only in the beginning.

The Good Foods podcast is hosted by Shardan Sandoval and it’s possible that you've heard my voice on a commercial here and there, particularly since I'm currently one of the many talented National Creative Production Designers for iHeartMedia and to date, I voiced and produced commercials that have aired from Hartford to Hawaii.

I created this podcast for Good Foods Grocery in March of 2023 and it is a joy to create this for you.

At the time of this recording, Dante was 51 years old.  When he turned 48 years old in November of 2020, he was in a bad place physically, mentally, and spiritually.  

At 6’1” tall and 285 lbs. He was overweight and had high blood pressure for which he was taking lisinopril, hydrochlorothiazide, and one other medication.  He was also on prescription strength Omeprazole for GERD symptoms, testosterone cypionate for low-T, Levocetirizine for severe allergies, and taking a vast number of supplements for better health.  

Dante had been trying to eat better by avoiding bread and junk foods as much as he could, but he was falling way short in retrospect. The main issue was with his gut area.  

Dante would wake up every morning in a type of pain that he can only describe as piercing pain, and then there was this feeling like it was sucking the life out of him, much like a blackhole captures light.  He also suffered from chronic insomnia, chronic constipation, and a few other aches and pains linked to inflammation.  

But just before his birthday he started following Jordan Peterson and his story about his all-meat diet.  Dante credits Peterson’s encouragement in helping him get back on his feet mentally.  Now he’s 100 pounds lighter and taking ZERO medications. I’m sure you’ll enjoy his amazing story.

I first read Dr. Crozier's first book years ago and you'll hear me mention the opening line of the book on this episode. I had never heard of someone contemplating such drastic action to try to alleviate their pain and suffering.

Luckily, Dr. Crozier didn't go that route, and we have his wisdom, expertise, and practice in Florida to be grateful for even considering such an operation. Dr. Crozier is truly someone that took all that pain and fear and transformed it into the next phase of his amazing life. 

Dr. Crozier takes integrative medicine a step farther by using genetic testing to develop a unique treatment plan for every one of his patients. Genetic testing allows Dr. Crozier to get to the root of illness and disease by examining his patients on a cellular level. Instead of using a cookie cutter approach to treatment, he allows your genes to tell him exactly what your body needs to heal.

Dr. Crozier then uses that information to recommend a combination of IV therapies, supplements, nutrition, and other natural therapies. Dr. Crozier has successfully treated a wide array of conditions and diseases, including chronic fatigue, tick-borne disease, parasitic infection, and mold (and other) toxicity.

He has also been enormously successful in reducing the symptoms of autism and ADD/ADHD in children. His underlying philosophy is to “optimize the body”. In his spare time, Dr. Crozier joins his wife Michelle as an active member in his local church and as a compassionate caregiver and volunteer in his community.

It was an absolute honor to be able to talk to the renowned Dr. Neal Barnard, who's latest book, The Power Foods Diet is available now.

We talked about how he began his career, why he chooses a vegan diet, the book itself and although I didn't mention about any tour dates that his band is on, we did talk about that.

Yes, he's been called 'Eddie Van Halen with a medical degree.' 

Neal D. Barnard, MD, FACC, is an adjunct faculty member of the George Washington University School of Medicine and president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, where he heads a research team investigating scientific issues in nutrition and health.

His work revolutionized the dietary approach to type 2 diabetes; he now does the same for weight loss. Dr. Barnard is editor-in-chief of the Nutrition Guide for Clinicians, a nutrition textbook made available to all U.S. medical students.

He is also editor of Good Medicine, a magazine with a circulation of 150,000. He is the New York Times bestselling author of Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes, Power Foods for the Brain, The 21-Day Weight-Loss Kickstart, and most recently Your Body in Balance, among many others.

I've suffered from fatigue in my life but not to the extent that I didn't have the energy to even lift the sheet off of my body while in bed. You'll hear that story from Dr. Sina McCullough and others, as well as how she came back from the brink to eventually heal her body.

That is her core message when you get right down to it, how the body has this amazing ability to heal itself, if you only pay attention, aid it in its process and let it do its work.

Dr. McCullough is the creator of the online program "GO WILD: How I Reverse Chronic & Autoimmune Disease," which teaches people how to reverse chronic and autoimmune diseases in a step-by-step manner.

Dr. McCullough is an expert in Nutrition, Disease Reversal, Functional Medicine, Exercise Physiology, and Energy Medicine, as well as a certified Natural Healer™, Master Herbalist, and Gluten Free Society Practitioner. She is the author of two books: HANDS OFF MY FOOD and BEYOND LABELS, which was co-authored with Joel Salatin from Polyface Farm.

Dr. McCullough is the co-host and co-producer of the Beyond Labels Podcast alongside Joel Salatin. She also hosts a cooking show titled Intuitive Cooking with Dr. Sina and writes for The Epoch Times. She earned a PhD in Nutritional Biology and a B.S. in Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior with a minor in Exercise Physiology from the University of California at Davis.

She also taught Biochemistry and Bioenergetics at UC Davis. Prior to becoming a homeschool mom, she was the Director of Research and Development for a nutraceutical company. Dr. McCullough nearly died from an autoimmune disease; however, through the grace of God, she was able to fully heal without the use of medication. Now she is dedicated to helping others find their second chance.

White Oak Pastures has been in Will's family for 6 generations and so you don't have to do the math, their place is a 158-year-old family farm situated in Bluffton, Georgia. Will Harris has been very blessed to have not only lived out his dream of taking over the family farm, but White Oak Pastures now boasts the fact that it's one of the largest employers in his county.

Will wrote A Bold Return to Giving a Damn and in it you'll live the history of his family and learn how he transformed how he approached farming and how that in turn, transformed White Oak Pastures.

It was an honor have Mr. Harris on the podcast and I hope that you'll enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed hearing his stories.

It was my honor to have Mary back and this time, since it is Mother's Day 'month', I wanted her to share more stories of her mom.

Sadly, Mary lost her mother suddenly late last year, but she holds her memories in her heart and Mary's laughter, along with her husband Ted and son Ben, have been a source of comfort to her.

You'll find about her recent YT Million Milestone and so much more. Mary Bryant Shrader is the best-selling author of The Modern Pioneer Cookbook and a self-described "former New York City girl" who discovered the simple life with her husband in the Texas hill country. 

Mary is a modern pioneer in the kitchen who has spent the last twenty years teaching friends and fans alike how to make nourishing recipes using traditional methods and whole, seasonal ingredients. Her mission is to teach her followers how to make nutrient-rich meals using traditional "pioneer" techniques like fermenting, canning, and drying. 

I know you will enjoy it thoroughly and like her You Tube video's, she introduces this episode with her signature salutation, "Hello, Sweet Friends!"
