  • 7: Community and Curiosity for Longevity w/ Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum

    By creating community and nurturing our innate sense of curiosity, we can improve our health and increase our longevity. I’m joined by the remarkable Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum, who started her Functional Medicine Coaching business at the age of 65, about how finding your passion, purpose, and community has helped her stay young and vibrant when others around her are slowing down.

    1. You can find your purpose and meaning when you dedicate your life to serving your communities, whatever that looks like for you. [14:00]

      “Focus on what’s right with you, not what’s wrong with you, as well as focusing on this with other people you encounter.” [37:38]

      • 6: Supporting the Mitochondria with NAD and Peptides w/ Dr. Amber Krogsrud

        Supplementing naturally occurring peptides and nutrients helps support your body’s mitochondria. I’m joined by naturopathic doctor, Amber Krogsrud, to talk about how she uses peptides to improve both her and her patient’s overall health.

         

        About Dr. Amber Krogsrud

        Dr. Amber Krogsrud is a naturopathic doctor who focuses on holistic hormone health. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Biology with a Minor in Chemistry from NDSU in Fargo, North Dakota. Prior to her undergraduate studies, she worked in a chiropractic clinic and discovered the beauty of natural medicine. She also developed a passion for nutrition and began pursuing a career that viewed health as a holistic lifestyle involving food as nutrition.

        To convert this passion to a career, Dr. Amber completed a four-year medical degree at the prestigious Bastyr University in San Diego, California. during her clinical years at BUC, Dr. Amber interned at an alternative health access campaign (AHAC) in Seattle, a clinic that focuses on bringing naturopathic treatment to at-risk youth and homeless adults. 

        As a medical student, Dr. Amber was handpicked as a member of the naturopathic medical student association (NMSA) as the professional development chair and was gifted the prestigious Bragg’s Foundation scholarship award.

         

        Key Takeaways

        1. NAD is a nutrient you can supplement that helps support your mitochondria. It increases your energy levels and helps clear brain fog. [18:00]
        2. You can use peptides in combination with diet and lifestyle changes to lose weight and improve your overall health [30:20]
        3. The average cost for including peptides in your health and wellness routine is $300 - $400 per month. [38:37]
        4.  

          Quotes

          “The overall effects of the NAD is to help the mitochondria. If they’re really in a depleted state, they might actually feel a little more tired; most people feel energized, but it’s hard to know how someone will respond to their first NAD IV.” [20:39]

          “There’s literally a peptide for most everything. There’s a peptide for everything! But they work through cellular signaling.” [28:26]

          “For the average person, what we want to do is refine their body’s ability to make more peptides themselves.” [32:57]

          • 5: Dirty Secrets of the Wine Industry w/ Todd White

            A low-alcohol, Keto-friendly wine that doesn’t leave you feeling worse for the wear sounds like something from your dreams. I’m joined by Todd White of Dry Farm Wines to talk about Natural Wine production and why it’s the best wine for you to drink.

             

            About Todd White

            Todd White is a serial entrepreneur and creator since the age of 17. Today, after 15 years in the wine business, he dedicates his life to educating and helping people make better choices about food, nutrition, and how they think about consuming alcohol. 

            As the founder of Dry Farm Wines, a writer, speaker, and a leader in the organic/Natural Wine movement, he has widely educated communities on conscious consumption. Todd is deeply passionate about bringing people together to share love and laughter through Natural Wine and the health benefits it provides. 

            Todd is a self-described biohacker who practices daily meditation, Wim Hof breathing, cold thermogenesis, a ketogenic diet, and daily 22-hour intermittent fasting.

His entire team gathers each morning for a meditation and gratitude practice.

             

            Key Takeaways

            • Just because a wine is labeled organic doesn’t mean it’s natural.
            • Women in menopause tend to have more headaches and other hangover symptoms when they drink red wine because of the additives in it.
            • The sugar content in Natural Wine is extremely low, so it’s not going to spike your blood sugar like other wines.

              • 4: How to Build Children's Health with Food w/ Dr. Ana Maria Temple

                Food is medicine, or it’s poison. The choice is yours and it affects not only yourself but your children. But to make the right choices, you need to have the right information and guidance. Today’s guest's mission is to equip her patients with knowledge. That way they can take control of the health and wellbeing of themselves and their families.

                Dr. Ana-Maria Temple is a pediatrician, award-winning speaker at Harvard Club of Boston, and a frequent guest on TV news and talk shows. In her 20 year career, she has treated over 36,000 patients. She owns her own practice, Integrative Health Carolinas in Charlotte, NC where she helps hundreds of families achieve wellness with less medication.

                There are many steps you can take now to prevent the emergence of chronic diseases in your children. Like so many things, this starts with nutrition. Dr. Temple takes us on her journey of discovery that led her to radically overhaul her pantry. Within just a few years or eating properly, her children’s chronic health conditions all but disappeared.

                Dr. Temple recommends that we all start with the basics. The body needs good nutrition to make healthy cells and hormones. Processed foods need to make way for more fruits and vegetables. Getting your kids to embrace this shift takes patience and a change in mindset. With that, they’ll be set up for a lifetime of healthy choices.

                What changes can you make to your pantry today? Share it with me in the comments on the episode page!

                • 3: Intermittent Fasting Truths w/ Cynthia Thurlow

                  It’s not uncommon to feel powerless over your health. This might be because modern lifestyles often drive our eating habits. Today’s guest took control of her health by changing her eating patterns with intermittent fasting. 

                  Cynthia Thurlow is a globally recognized expert in nutrition and intermittent fasting. She is a highly sought after speaker and CEO and founder of Everyday Wellness Project. Cynthia has been a nurse practitioner for over 20 years. Her TED Talk on intermittent fasting has been viewed nearly 6 million times. She has been featured on ABC, FOX5, KTLA, CW, and in Medium and Entrepreneur. She's also the host of the Everyday Wellness podcast, which was listed as "20 Podcasts That Will Help You Grow in 2020" by Entrepreneur magazine. 

                  Cynthia was skeptical of intermittent fasting at first. But the more she learned about this healthy eating pattern, the more she realized its power to optimize your health. Modern lifestyles have drastically changed the way we eat. However, for the great majority of human history, intermittent fasting was how we got nutrition. Returning to this process is a return to fueling our bodies the way they were meant to be.

                  Properly combining intermittent fasting with exercise is a powerful and safe weight-loss strategy. Cynthia explains how exercising on an empty stomach not only leads to weight loss but more energy and mental clarity as well. It also promotes autophagy, the body’s process of cleaning out damaged cells. This leads to healthier cellular health and many other benefits.

                  Overall, the strategy of intermittent fasting is about taking control. It’s going to look different for everyone. While this may seem like a big change, it can still fit your schedule, diet, and lifestyle. 

                  Have you tried intermittent fasting? Tell me about it in the comments on the episode page!

                  • 2: 5 Pillars of a Toxin-Free Lifestyle w/ Aimee Carlson

                    Toxins are everywhere. Typically, our bodies know how to handle these dangerous chemicals to keep us healthy. But if the toxic overload gets to be too much, serious problems will arise. Today’s guest is a recognized expert in helping people maintain their body’s detoxification systems and avoid these harmful compounds from the start. 

                    Aimee Carlson, aka “The Toxin Terminator”, is the host of her own podcast, a best-selling author, and featured expert guest on many podcasts and summits. Aimee has spent the last seven years removing hidden toxins from her home to be free of chronic disease. She has helped countless others do the same. 

                    Simply put, a toxin is anything that can enter the body that the body can’t put to good use. Sadly, these are everywhere you look. Instead of getting overwhelmed, Aimee urges us to focus on what we can control. This starts at home. Getting rid of products with artificial fragrances, eating natural foods, and getting fresh air into your home is a way to take control right away.

                    When toxins build up in the body, they affect organ function and change cell-structure. Chronic diseases are the natural effect of this. From fighting obesity to preventing cancer, reducing your toxic burden is central to longevity. 

                    Toxicity isn’t limited to physical health. It enters our thoughts and relationships too. This not only harms us physically but mentally and spiritually as well. There is a strong documented link between gut health and mental health. Aimee shares how we can all work to write a new narrative for ourselves to break out of these toxic habits.

                    What can you do today to reduce your toxic burden? Let me know in the comments on the episode page!

                    • 1: Anti-Aging Tips for the Skin w/ Rachel Varga

                      In my practice, I see many clients yearning for younger-looking skin. There’s so much that can be done, from a focus of gut health to laser treatments. First and foremost is the realization that you are deserving of the skin you want. Once you realize that, it’s only a matter of identifying the right treatment for you. 

                      Rachel Varga is a board-certified aesthetic nurse, an international clinical trainer, speaker, and academically published award-winning author in the field of plastic and aesthetic nursing. Through education on skin care, skin and laser rejuvenation, non-surgical solutions, and healing lifestyle practices, Rachel helps inspire others with her unique toolkit to navigate and strategize aging well using the science of beauty.

                      Today, Rachel and I discuss the interconnectedness of the body’s systems. In order for rejuvenation procedures to work and last, the whole person must be addressed. Often, signs of trouble on the skin start in the gut. Genetics play a role. So does lifestyle. That’s why Rachel looks beyond skin deep when working with her clients.

                      There are simple yet crucial things that you can start doing today for your skin. This includes morning and night cleansings, protecting yourself from the sun, and regular exfoliations. To maximize your results, it’s important to use quality products that are individualized to your specific needs and goals. This is crucial if you want more intensive treatments to work as best as they can.

                      With so many different treatments available, we talk about which options could be right for you. Whether it’s red light therapy, lasers, supplements, or derma rollers, there’s a lot that you can do. Taking care of your skin is a sign of self-respect. The first step is recognizing that you’re worth it!

                      What does skin rejuvenation look like to you? Let’s talk about it in the comments on the episode page!

                      • Male 2.0 w/ Dr. Tracy Gapin

                        We’re living in a low testosterone epidemic. Yet boosting testosterone is one way of increasing longevity. Today’s guest is an expert on this topic. He’ll tell you the most important steps that men can take to optimize their health and boost their testosterone levels. 

                        Dr. Tracy Gapin is a board-certified urologist, world-renowned men’s health and performance expert, professional speaker and author. He has over 20 experience providing Fortune 500 executives, entrepreneurs, and athletes a personalized health plan. Dr. Gapin combines his compassion and extensive experience with men’s health care and cutting-edge technology to offer patients individualized, state-of-the-art care.

                        Low testosterone affects every aspect of men’s health. It leads to drops in energy, mental acuity, bone density, and nutritional health. With this hormone being such a key piece of the puzzle, Dr. Gapin made it his mission to address the root causes of its decline. 

                        Dr. Gapin has seen how environmental impacts disrupt hormone production. Endocrine disruptors are everywhere these days. Plastics, personal care products, and more contain phthalates that disrupt proper hormone production. 

                        Since everyone’s genetic blueprint is unique, we all respond to our environment differently. Using data and the latest technology, Dr. Gapin helps his patients make informed decisions to address the root cause, not just symptoms. Sleep and epigenetics, being a central part of hormonal health, Dr. Gapin makes these a focus of his practice.

                        What can you do to avoid phthalates in your environments and get better sleep? Let’s chat about it in the comments on the episode page!

                      • 5 Supplements Myths Pt 2 w/ Tom Houle

                        Nutritional supplements and vitamins are the bedrock of supporting the immune system. But there are thousands of products and countless sources of information on what to take. Evidence does exist showing that many of these products are safe and effective. Just remember that not all supplements are created equal. 

                        Tom Houle is back to continue our discussion about the myths of supplements. Be sure to listen to part one if you haven’t yet. Tom is a self-described geek when it comes to mitochondrial support. As a representative of a premier dietary supplement manufacturer, Tom has a solid understanding of what makes a great product.

                        Contrary to what many people think, there are numerous studies into the efficacy and safety of supplements. There have been clinical trials. There are numerous studies. The best supplements will be formulated based on these. 

                        Some of the best nutritional supplements target mitochondrial health. Being the powerhouse of the cells, mitochondria play an essential role in immune support. They also provide critical energy. Tom and I discuss what the best mitochondrial supplements provide and what to look for in them.

                        We also deconstruct the myth that multivitamins are unnecessary. The sad truth is most of us are vitamin deficient. The way modern food is grown and processed removes a lot of the essential nutrition from it. Regularly taking a multivitamin helps compensate for this.

                        There is also the belief that eating fermented foods is enough to support your gut microbiome. It can certainly be helpful, but there just isn’t enough information to know exactly what you need. Probiotics can help fill the gap. With thousands of products to choose from, Tom explains that looking for genetic diversity and the stability of the product is key.

                        What do you do to support your mitochondria? Let’s talk about it in the comments on the episode page!

                      • 5 Supplements Myths Pt 1 w/ Tom Houle

                        There’s no pill, potion, or powder that’s going to replace lifestyle changes. But supplements can help. There are so many myths out there about supplements. That’s what makes it a hard topic to understand. To clear things up, I’ve brought in an expert to help bust through the myths surrounding this important topic.

                        Tom Houle represents a premier dietary supplement manufacturer which leads the way in proactive health and wellness as it relates to the healthcare industry. He has spent nearly a decade partnering with functional and integrative medical practices in order to get patients better faster through education and practice building. Through consultation, Tom specializes in custom strategies to increase patient compliance and improve outcomes. 

                        First off, Tom sheds some light on the varying quality of supplements. Not all are created equal. It’s important to understand the source of the product. Even the geographic location of the raw ingredients can make a difference. That’s why it’s critical to use a product that is sourced from the place where the original research was conducted.

                        To identify a high-quality supplement, it’s important to study the product’s label. Tom recommends looking for minerals. Avoid oxides and carbonates. Seek out amino acid chelates. Doing this will help your body better absorb the minerals in the supplements more efficiently. 

                        There is also a lot to understand concerning fish oil, another common supplement. The key is finding a product that is in the triglyceride form. Natural preservatives against oxidation and testing for environmental toxins are another sign of quality fish oil.

                        How do you use supplements to manage your health? Let’s chat about it in the comments on the episode page!
