  • Why Your Sleep Score STILL Sucks

    I have a lot of folks in my life who love to share their sleep scores with me...

    and to be honest...

    I spend a lot of energy keeping my mouth shut about how I really feel.

    Until now.

    Now, I used to track my sleep as well: rings, heart rate monitors, cell phones apps, etc.

    And all the numbers lead me down the path of more sleep supplements than I thought was possible.

    Did it get me anywhere?

    Has it been getting you anywhere?

    Sure... but have those tactics gotten you to sleeping through the night without supplements?

    That's why we need to chat about your sleep score, so join me in this episode!

    (Even if you don't track a sleep score... make sure to catch this episode where we go deep on sleep!)

  • Brain fog hits at work... What do you do?

    I just spoke with someone who had brain fog that was making his work day a struggle.

    (I could probably say the above every single day as nearly all our clients have brain fog)

    The struggle is real.

    You stare at that email... and still don't comprehend it.

    You sit in meetings hoping no one asks you a question because you can't follow the conversation.

    You have to spend more time double checking your work for mistakes.

    And... trading your short-term memory for sticky-note reminders that have infested your desk like termites.

    Brain fog is a seriously misunderstood and underestimated problem.

    Let's gain some clarity on what causes brain fog and what to do about it, shall we?

  • Why do I wake up early (and can't fall back asleep)?

    Staring at 4AM on your alarm clock is how many of our clients used to start their days (me included).

    It's... annoying.

    It's almost as if your body is playing a cruel joke on you.

    "Oh... I figured I would wake you up early so that you can enjoy this surge of fight or flight hormones!"

    But the effect on you and your life is no joke.

    You have a pharmacopeia of supplements and even prescription medications that haven't worked.

    You drag through your day with brain fog and heaviness that coffee doesn't help with anymore.

    That's why we need to get your day started at a more reasonable hour. Heck... even 6AM sounds like heaven.

    So, that's why we're going to cover what's going on when you wake up early and what to do about it. Join us live!

  • Why You're Really Having IBS and Other Gut Issues... and What to Do About It

    Everyday I'm talking about gut issues with our clients.


    (Which is weird because I'm not proclaiming myself as a "gut guru")


    Nonetheless, our clients ditch their IBS, leaky gut, SIBO, fungal overgrowth, debilitating gut pains, and more.


    Now, they can all say NO to all the poop tests, restrictive diets, and probiotics that cost more than groceries.


    And the best part?


    Eating the foods you love and living life uninterrupted by gut issues (🚽).


    That's what happens when you address the real root issues of your gut issues!


    Join me in cutting through the crap (pun intended) in this episode!

  • How to Reduce Inflammation in Your Body Without the Usual Foods and Supplements

    Many of our clients have been told they have inflammation issues.

    Is that the case?


    (the answer is "no" with a rhetorical question that early, let's be real)


    Inflammation is the boogeyman of illness.


    Inflammation "causes" chronic fatigue, adrenal fatigue, autoimmune issues, gut issues, and even your high school break up.


    (I'm not so sure about that last one...)


    All the functional and integrative folks craft their crazy diets and supplement protocols to 


    fight inflammation.


    But, this approach hasn't gotten you very far.


    In fact, it's been keeping you stuck and even worse.


    You deserve some clarity.


    Let's introduce some new truths on inflammation and what you can do about it in this episode!

  • The Truth on Tinnitus (Ear Ringing) and Why You Must Fix It

    A few clients have complained of tinnitus (known as ear ringing) recently.


    It's one of the most aggravating issues you can be stuck with.

    Why?


    It often "pops up" as the 5th, 6th,... or even 10th new symptom or condition.


    Night time now becomes a nightmare with incessant ringing.


    And, when the ringing bleeds into the daytime... 


    That's when you do everything possible to fix it.


    And yet... 


    No matter how many primary care doctors and ENT doctors you see...


    or how many herbs and supplements you try...


    You can't silence this pervasive menace.


    It's time for some clarity and peace of mind.


    Join me for the "Truth on tinnitus and why you must fix it!"

  • How to Sleep Better: A Review of Sleep Supplements and Food, including Melatonin

    A potential client just got done telling me how awful her sleep is:


    Waking up 3-4 times a night and feeling like a trainwreck 😪 in the morning: limbs heavy, brain foggy, and the feeling of “UGH” resonating through every cell in her body.


    When that’s how you're waking up, then the upcoming day is filled with dread along with 2 cups of coffee ☕ to get to a semi-functioning state, a midday nap to remain conscious the rest of the day, and ending up as a heap on the couch after you struggle through the workday. 👨‍💻


    Having been there myself for many years, I can confidently say miserable sleep = miserable life.

    Here’s the tricky part… fixing sleep is not easy.


    I wish it was.


    And, if fixing sleep were easy… then there wouldn’t be a multi-billion dollar market around sleep medications and supplements.


    That’s why I want to help you steer clear of the nonsense out there that’s going to have you hooked on pills. 


    So, heard this episode to learn how to improve your sleep based on what I’ve learned about all the different foods and supplements (including melatonin) because you deserve to wake up feeling refreshed and excited for the day ahead!

  • The Key to Overcoming Your Fatigue: Mitochondria and Circadian Rhythms

    Not a client call goes by without discussing what they thought were the root issues:

    Thyroid, gut, adrenals, infections, autoimmunity… and the list goes on and on.


    At the end of the day there’s only one root cause: mitochondria and circadian rhythms.

    (Yes… I know I just put two things as a single root cause. Hear me out)


    Each and every one of our clients is shocked and relieved to learn how simple eliminating 

    exhaustion and all the other symptoms and conditions truly is.


    That’s why this episode is a MUST hear so that you can learn EXACTLY what the core issues are and how to fix it!

  • Can the Keto Diet Help Fatigue?

    Keto is a diet most nearly everyone I work with has tried and it makes sense on paper:

    You get more energy out of fat…  so eat more fat! 🥓🍟🍔


    Sugar puts you on a roller coaster of energy… so cut out the carbs!


    But, what happens, in reality, is that many end up crashing hard (and, no, it ain’t the “keto flu”)

    Or, you do great for a few days… until that carb craving kicks in and you’re off to the pantry (... or freezer for ice cream).


    Now, don’t get me wrong, a keto diet can work great for some folks… but you need to understand exactly how it works and if it’s right for you at this moment in your healing journey.


    So, make sure to catch this episode to know how much butter you may need to stock up on when you go grocery shopping this week. 🛒
