HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS EPISODE:
[01:19] Our Swiss Mountain Clinic. This is the best clinic (out of 20!) that I’ve visited for research over my lifetime. I send my own family members there. And it’s the host of our liver detox retreat, where we spend an amazing time together getting a liver flush and directions for our health. There’s saunas, Bemers, coffee enemas, and much more!
[04:28] Your information for next year. You can join me for one or two weeks in the Swiss mountains to concentrate on your health. Go to greensmoothiegirl.com/swissmountainclinic to reserve your spot!
[06:04] People just like you have gone (and loved it). The inspirational stars of our retreat, my reason for this episode today. I highlight the courageous people who came all the way across the world to spend this time with me and the wonderful medical team to have a healing experience as a group. And a doctor with a plan to change everything (everything parasites, that is).
[22:08] I listen to you and give answers where I can. A big part of this retreat for me is getting to know you and what you struggle with, worry about, and want help with. Or, what you just want to know! I gave one official talk per week, with a little on some helpful products and supplements.

September 11, 2019Ep. 148: Love is Medicine! A Chat with Razi Berry
My friend Razi Berry has managed a naturopathic medicine journal for 15 years, but the past few years she’s been diving into the science of how love is medicine, and how high vibration emotions and actions have the power to transform and save us. If you loved my Bruce Lipton interview, you’ll love this, too.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS EPISODE WITH RAZI BERRY:
[04:44] Razi Berry: Her Transformational Experience. Planted by her spontaneous healing of heart failure at just 14, the question “Where does healing come from?” began a quest for understanding our own body’s incredible (and beautiful) power.
[09:15] It’s not rocket science, it’s connection. In over 2000 case studies for her journal Naturopathic Doctors News & Review, Razi Berry has found there’s always a place of disconnection that leads to disease. Choosing love (of self, food, others, nature) always leads to a healing.
[11:07] The Science of Intuition. Intuition is a full-body physiological response, innate in you whether you believe it or not. Molecules of emotion – chemical substances that your body produces – help you connect to your greater non-local consciousness
[17:45] Your intuition and your emotions. We are the carriers of emotion. Emotions are not felt because they’re “in our heads,” but can be measurable molecules even in our tears. Your body is the tool you have experience that outer world and each other. When you’re unsure of a feeling, the answer is inside you. Trust that.
[22:02] Love is Vibration. Love is the highest vibration you can be at. Your thoughts are energy, but they also create chemical substances that move throughout your entire body. They mediate this vibration. Your thoughts can heal you when you operate through love.
[25:54] The “Love Is Medicine Project.” A seven-day journey to self-healing, Razi Berry gives interviews from experts sharing their story and giving evidence towards your innate ability to heal. Vibration, the vital force, God, love – all are synonyms for this ability within you. Connect with nature and community for even stronger access.

September 04, 2019Ep. 147: Part 2 of “How to Get the Remarkable Benefits of Fasting–Without Going Hungry” with Robyn Openshaw
Part 2 of my reading of my new book about how you can get the benefits of fasting, without actually being hungry. The clinical evidence is incredible, and I think modified fasting is possibly the greatest health discovery of this century so far!

Theflashfast.com is where you can get an incredible price on a 3-day Flash Fast, covering all your bases to get the autophagy and regeneration and abdominal weight loss of fasting, while carrying on with life as usual, and eating 5 small meals a day, made for you.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM EPISODE:
[01:54] Feed a child in Africa. For every purchase of the Flash Fast, you feed a child in an African village for three days through Mothers Without Borders. While you eat less, you feed a child. less for three days, we feed a child for three days in Africa in these villages Where Mothers Without Borders work.
[03:41] Let’s dive back in. I jump back in to the major categories of health benefits from fasting and modified fasting, such as improving immune function against cancer cells, improves markers associated with diabetes, neurological health (like multiple sclerosis), heart disease, and increasing your life span.
[08:15] Should you fast to lose weight? Weight loss is a natural byproduct of fasting, but using it with the intent to cleanse the cells in your body and promote needed autophagy for a better, healthier life is a higher vibration intention. (And, what is autophagy?)
[10:17] You don’t have to starve with modified fasting. You don’t have to limit yourself to water to obtain the health benefits associated with fasting. Undergoing our 26-day detoxification program can result in biological rewards without the feelings associated with starvation.
[12:32] You can detox emotionally, too. After major detoxes like fasting, your body can bring up and release emotions that have long been buried. Welcome them to pass through and leave you forever.
[12:53] Have you heard of a herxheimer? In a fast, your body cleans out toxins. These toxins need to pass through the bloodstream to flush from your body, which can result in cleansing symptoms known as a herxheimer reaction. But, there are ways to help speed this process along.
[15:06] I tried water fasting without food for 40 days. Here’s what I learned.
[20:37] Should I try water fasting? There are numerous scientifically-documented benefits of fasting. But, if you undergo a water-only fast or dry fast longer than a day, do it under the supervision of a trusted functional medicine practitioner.

August 29, 2019Ep. 146: “How to Get the Remarkable Benefits of Fasting–Without Going Hungry” with Robyn Openshaw
I’m reading from my brand-new book, about how you can get the benefits of fasting, without actually being hungry. The clinical evidence is incredible, and I think modified fasting is possibly the greatest health discovery of this century so far!

Theflashfast.com is where you can get an incredible price on a 3-day Flash Fast, covering all your bases to get the autophagy and regeneration and abdominal weight loss of fasting, while carrying on with life as usual, and eating 5 small meals a day, made for you.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS EPISODE:
[00:31] My latest book, the Flash Fast program, and why they are healthful to you. The book is called How To Get the Remarkable Benefits of Fasting Without Going Hungry and is a companion to our new Flash Fast health program. You can lose weight while maintaining all the right nutrients and without going hungry. Purchasing the fast donates to the charity Mothers Without Boarders and feeds a child in Africa for three days.
[10:19] You benefit by fasting. Something called “Autophagy” gets kick-started when you fast, and cannot be oversold by how much it helps your body, protecting you from cancer and more. And, you lose weight!
[19:04] Six types of fasting and you. My book defines six different types of fasting, what they entail, and how they can help and reward your body by making time for this healthful (and sometimes spiritual) dietary practice.
[26:45] Three incredible benefits of fasting. These benefits of fasting are backed by studies and include mental clarity and energy, cellular renewal, and clearing the body of toxins, mucous, yeast and bacteria (all necessary in this modern toxic soup we live in daily!)

August 21, 2019Ep. 145: The Real Scoop on My Experience on “ABC’s Wife Swap” with Robyn Openshaw
I finally tell the story of what it was like to be on a reality TV show “Wife Swap” that 21 million people watched (the first time. It’s aired dozens of times as a re-run since then), and how it accidentally gave birth to one of the greatest miracles of my life.

EPISODES HIGHLIGHTS:
[06:07] How did GreenSmoothieGirl come to be? I was the subject of a TV show in 2007, ABC’s “Wife Swap,” and my eating habits got aired on national television. But how did that happen, too?
[08:32] How “real” is reality TV? We know by now that reality television is scripted, manipulated, and downright false at times. How did the show’s formula for “Robyn Openshaw: Mean Mom” impact me?
[24:34] My most painful moment. The show had one lie that was very hurtful to me: it told the world I was “so obsessed with efficiency” that I force all my children to celebrate their birthdays on the same day. Here’s the truth.
[42:34] What did I learn from ABC’s “Wife Swap?” I learned there are always silver linings (GreenSmoothieGirl is a big one!) and two main things: 1) be you. Don’t let anyone change you. And 2) don’t judge people harshly. Give people, and what comes through your eyes and ears and heart, benefit of the doubt.

August 14, 2019Ep. 144: How Much Attention Should We Give Our Genetics? with Dr. Ben Lynch
I’ve brought Dr. Ben Lynch back to ask him more detailed questions about what’s going on in functional medicine, using people’s personal genomic information.
LINKS AND RESOURCES:
Listen to Episode 70
Get the book Dirty Genes
EPISODES HIGHLIGHTS WITH DR. BEN LYNCH:
[08:23] My genes are confusing! Genetic testing can be a great tool to optimize your lifestyle, but it’s usually being used incorrectly because the results are hard to understand, or even frightening.
[12:47] You have more tools than genetic tests. Your genes are not the only thing determining your fate. What’s your lifestyle like? Do you really need radical treatment based on your results?
[19:13] Let’s talk Alzheimer’s and APOE. APOE is a gene implicated in the early onset of Alzheimer’s. But if your test shows up positive for this, you actually have more power to make safer life decisions and put the power of your genes in your hands.
[29:44] Your genes are not a scapegoat. A lot of people are using genetic testing to find a reason why they’re sick. But most often, your genes are not to blame and it’s pointing you down the wrong road. Have you checked your lifestyle fundamentals recently?
[30:53] What are the doctors doing about this? Most practitioners look at genetic reports and prescribe supplements based on that. But if you’re not “working” that genetic variant very hard, you may not need the supplement, despite what your report says.
[38:35] Who really benefits from all these supplements? Supplement companies are utilizing genetics to promote the sale of supplements. And they seem like the easy answer. But the easy answer is rarely the best one for our bodies and minds.
[42:43] Should I get my gene report or not? The answer depends on who you are. Can you talk to an expert, and spend time getting to know your results? If you’re anxious, it might not be in your best interest. Do what fits you best.

August 07, 2019Ep. 143: What You Need to Know About Food Sensitivity Testing with Robyn Openshaw
Getting tested for your “food sensitivities” is all the rage these days. Are food sensitivity tests giving you any legitimate information? What do other experts have to say about it? In this episode I evaluate the various tests, working towards helping you decide if you want to invest in these types of tests.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:
[02:48] What “Food Sensitivity” means for you. Food sensitivity wasn’t a term until seven years ago and isn’t medically recognized. So how do you get tested for it? And are the tests accurate?
[05:22] Let’s compare this to Food Allergy. The physiological differences between food sensitivities and food allergies can be deadly. But that doesn’t mean the less severe reactions should be ignored.
[07:36] The IgG test and you. The IgG test is most likely to be used when testing your food sensitivities, although there’s no scientific proof that it works. Incorrect results can lead to stress in your diet.
[07:36] How about IgE? The IgE test is more accurate and consistent than IgE, but there’s still a drawback to be had.
[20:48] You can reverse your food intolerances. Rebuilding the gut through a mostly plant-based diet (starchy foods, eliminating acidic ones, probiotics) can reverse the symptoms of an unhappy system.
[21:48] Let’s talk about alternative tests. Some accurate labs IgG/IgG-4 include KBMO, Meridian Valley, and US BioTek, recommended by naturopathic medical doctor Alan Christianson, alongside skin tests.
[25:28] The Elimination Diet works. Getting rid of some foods in your diet and taking careful note of your reactions is often a lot easier than undergoing the expensive and uncomfortable testing (that may not even work).

July 31, 2019Ep. 142: Are Genetic Tests Worth Your Money? with Robyn Openshaw
Are genetic tests worth your money? Today we’re taking another dive into genetic testing. These tests, like 23andMe, are all the rage; but what happens when that data is sold to pharmaceutical companies? Let’s discuss implications most don’t think about before they get the test, and some interesting Brave New World ethical conundrums that are arising from knowing the entire genetic code, for tens of millions of us.
____________________________________________________________________
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:
[01:40] Other people use my genetic information? Big pharmaceutical company Glaxosmithkline partnered with 23andMe to create better drugs, which means they access and own your genetic code
[02:53] Genetic crime stories, anyone? Crime and court cases are being impacted by our genetic material linking us to locations we’ve been. Sometimes it’s good! Other times, perhaps not.
[06:43] Your cost, doubled. While on the surface there’s nothing wrong with using DNA to develop medicines, what about ethical problems that arise when this medicine is then sold back to the public at exorbitant rates?
[09:53] Your (complicated) family tree. Genetic testing helps find long-lost family members, and family members who would rather stay hidden. What are the ethics behind unwilling participants and their privacy?
[11:32] Our society misrepresented. If the pharmaceutical companies only use data gleaned from people who can afford the test, underprivileged neighborhoods will be left out of the genetic equation. This reinforces the issue of who’s going to get the benefits of mapping the genome.
[12:24] Pros and Cons in ABC. There are many points on both sides of the genetic aisle, but does one side justify the other? Relief, knowledge, and opportunity compared to anxiety, non-elimination, quality of results, and over-diagnosis.

July 24, 2019Ep. 141: Are Microbiome Tests Legit or Fraud? with Robyn Openshaw
Today we’re getting back into fine-tuning our critical thinking skills and taking a good look at the validity of microbiome tests: Viome, Ubiome, 2ndDay, etc.
Warning: This is a somewhat graphic topic because I say the word “poop” a lot.
These up-and-coming companies that test your poop for inferences about the microbiome claim you can know specifically what to do and eat and how to live based on your fecal matter alone. So put you critical thinking caps on and come join me in a deeper look at our microbiome to decide for yourself what it all means.
____________________________________________________________________
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:
[03:16] Should I get my microbiome tested? The microbiome wasn’t heard of until 20 years ago, yet some companies are assured they can test yours and give you all the answers to your health questions… via a poop swab.
[05:22] We change every day. Our microbiome changes depending on what we eat. Standard-of-care doctors push medication that change our microbiome in addition to that; what are the testing consequences?
[7:54] Where’s the science? The scientific evidence behind the microbiome testing is thin at best, and nonexistent at worse. Remember, correlation does not imply causation.
[16:32] Something smells rotten… The behind-scenes dealings between the microbiome companies and their founders have cause to be suspected; based on their promises, should investors or you be handing over your money? A little history lesson from Silicon Valley.
[31:04] What’s the verdict? The test results from two companies don’t line up, even with an exact sample. The nutritional science is almost nonexistent; a UC Davis professor says it best.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS WITH DR. JOEL KAHN:
[00:8:24] Nutrition and our lives. Why does nutrition these days seem to be about everything but actual nutrition? Dr. Kahn talks about the importance of air, water, and food quality in our communities (and the research on what happens if it’s bad).
[00:13:49] Just a touch more protein, please. Should we increase our protein uptake when we get older? And can we stay plant-based?
[00:15:57] The drawbacks to fish protein. The bio-accumulators on trial: toxins, atherosclerosis, and the molecule trimethylamine oxide. What does this metabolite do?
[00:21:31] Fish oil: Does it hurt me? Some research, testing, and evidence on mercury levels and atherosclerosis. And a side note, what is carrageenan?
[00:27:25] Cool vitamins on the market (and they’re vegan!) Three brands of vitamins to try, and what the whole-food plant-based dieter can do about getting enough B12. Just beet it!
[00:32:27] When are green smoothies not enough? A look at Dr. Esselstyn’s argument against the health drink, his Spectrum of Health, and the Sausage Egg McMuffin test. Insights on, how much oil should we eat? And the Nitric Oxide and Dietary Nitrate systems that come out to play when we drink our green smoothies.
[00:47:34] “You go head-to-head with who?” Lectins, legumes, and beans. Oh my! Dr. Joel’s truthful assessment of heart surgeon Dr. Gundry and his Plant Paradox.
[00:59:22] The Paleo diet was bad enough, but Keto… Let’s talk about it. Some of the keto diet research explained, and what risks increase the longer you’re on it.
[01:08:52] Dr. Kahn and his Green Space. Locations of his vegan restaurants and food truck. Bon Appétit!
