  • Is Your Green Smoothie Doing You More Harm Than Good?

    Often times someone will blend a bunch of fruits and vegetables up thinking they are making an awesome, super nutrient dense “meal to go”. But, there might be more to the story.

  • Episode 56: How Keto Can Help Mental Health!

    Our Standard American Diet keeps glucose high, creates insulin resistance and so much systemic inflammation. All of this is a recipe for mental health dysfunction. FAT is good for your brain CHOLESTEROL is good for your brain KETONES are amazing for your brain (clean fuel) Part of it is about removing the source of the dysfunction, the other part is about adding NOURISHMENT into your body and specifically your brain!

    Lisa Parker, FNP, is a metabolic specialist and in this episode she dives in to this topic. We touch on how some of this can drive eating disorders, how medications can make this blood sugar/insulin problem worse and how we have kids on this cycle of crappy food, medications and mental health issues with them are through the roof.

    We need to do better! And we can!
