August 23, 2021 S 4 Ep 7 - Running Ultramarathons While Plant-Based with Dr. Madeline Hardacre
Join me as I interview Dr. Madeline Hardacre as we talk all things about running, ultramarathons, being a plant-based athlete, and why she left her Ob/GYN practice to pursue women's coaching! WATCH THE YOUTUBE VERSION HERE: https://youtu.be/P_myuGQA9qo
---
Her bio: "I am a physician, board-certified in gynecology and lifestyle medicine. I am also a Wellcoaches Certified Health and Wellness Coach. My practice, Women’s Health Elevated, is focused on coaching women to optimal health and well-being through long-term, sustainable lifestyle change. I understand the challenges of busy family life. With a physician husband and 3 children (now teens and young adults), I appreciate the struggle that unfolds when we try to juggle schedules and family obligations while also prioritizing our health. I work with my clients to develop management strategies regardless of what else is going on in their life. I practice what I preach when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle. I am a strong advocate for the benefits of plant-based nutrition. I am an avid distance runner and ultramarathoner, and plants fuel me for all of my running adventures on the trails of Tahoe."

Plant-Based TeleHealth co-founders, Anthony Masiello, Laurie Marbas, MD, Christina Miller, MD, and Michael Klaper, MD, have launched a national telemedicine service focused on the prevention and reversal of chronic disease utilizing lifestyle medicine. This new service provides access to plant-based lifestyle medicine across the United States; using secure video conferencing and patient portal technologies, a doctor in one location delivers “in-person” care to a patient at a distant site.
Plant-Based TeleHealth (PBTH) provides medical care for patients who have a chronic disease and other medical conditions, including, but not limited to, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, obesity, autoimmune diseases, inflammation, and digestive issues. These conditions are addressed through lifestyle medicine—the powerful, evidence-based practice of promoting healthy behaviors and lifestyle modification, including a whole-food, plant-based diet.
Doctors are now available to see patients in all 50 states across the US, and internationally for lifestyle medicine consultations.
Plant-Based TeleHealth is making plant-based lifestyle medicine available nationwide, using telemedicine to remove many of the barriers that prevent people from accessing this type of care.

August 09, 2021 S 4 Ep 5 - What‘s Love Got To Do With It? Creating The Next Dating App with Dr. Chrystene Nguyen
Come and join us as we talk about love, medicine, relationships, and why/how the importance of having social connections now more than ever with Dr. Chrystene Nguyen! WATCH THE YOUTUBE VERSION HERE: https://youtu.be/SqHDo_7ybBY

Dr. Chrystene Nguyen is a double board-certified physician in Southern California in family and lifestyle medicine. She believes a major part of optimal health includes having supportive relationships and positive community and social connections, so during Covid-19 quarantine, she started a Facebook group called White Coat Romance. This is a space for single healthcare professionals to virtually mingle, get to know one another as friends and potential romantic partners and provide support among a group that understands the unique challenges and demands of the various healthcare professions. She is a hopeless romantic who desires to make a bigger impact so has been in the process of developing the White Coat Romance Dating App for a larger audience consisting of single white coat professionals with healthcare doctorate and master’s degrees, health science/research PhDs, and doctoral candidates (students), with its unique feature of NPI verification or other verification.

With this lifestyle, she has seen a reversal in almost all of the conditions and she continues to see improvement. Now, she is an advocate for the plant-based lifestyle and incorporates plant-based nutritional counseling with her patients.

Dr. Ann founded Happi Hippo Plant Organics in 2017, which is an eco-friendly, all-natural, vegan dental and body care company. The combination of her holistic plant-based lifestyle, love of animals, and passion to help fight climate change is how this company was born.

As a Chef, I manned the helm of many 4-5 diamond restaurants, wineries, cafes, and hotels, but still was not satiated and craved more from life.
I went back to school and studied plant-based nutrition as well as enrolled in a Vegan High end cooking program to reteach myself how to cook without dairy, refined sugars, and gluten.
During this time I steepled in the culture of regenerative farming, food is medicine philosophy, and started to understand the ways of ancient principles of food.
Essentially I started to cook and eat with the intention to prevent disease.
In 2020 I became Chef Collin the Culinary Coach and have now dedicated my life to learning and teaching others to cook healthy, by changing their Food Relationship through my D2R Method.

BUY YOUR GREEN TEA HERE: https://bit.ly/SHOPGREENTEA
This season of Thrive Bites will now be on YouTube in addition to all podcast platforms! We are going to host a LIVE Q&A format and my first guest is scheduled to air July 7th, Wed 5 pm PST, and she is a green tea expert.
Kiyomi's Bio: Desperate to help her husband survive stage III cancer, Kiyomi researched intensively to find a better way of getting the health benefits of green tea. Kiyomi's mission is to share her discoveries with American folks by offering the purest and simplest form of "Ground Green Tea." When asked "why Green Tea," she answers, "Because Green Tea Powder is the simplest and easiest addition anyone can make to his or her diet in order to improve health." She believes a small habitual change could lead to a significant outcome in the long run.
EGCG Correction: "An observed safe level of 704 mg EGCG/day could be considered for GTEs consumed in beverage form."
