    Dr. Cate Shanahan Breaks Down the Dark Truth About Seed Oils

    Dr. Cate Shanahan Breaks Down the Dark Truth About Seed Oils

    Today we have a fascinating conversation with Dr. Cate Shanahan, author of the new book DARK CALORIES: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Get It Back, released on June 11th.   DARK CALORIES explains how a group of eight little-known oils cause the cellular damage that underlies virtually all chronic disease, exposes the corruption that deceives doctors and consumers into eating them, and gives us a clear roadmap to recovery and rejuvenation. In this episode we learn about the science behind WHY vegetable oils can compromise our health, and the latest research from top experts in the field, what seed oils  are, and how they do damage. We also discuss how to get vegetable oils out of our diet, the history of the science that misled doctors and consumers into buying these oils, and much more.
    Dr. Cate is a board-certified Family Physician and Cornell-trained biochemist. She is the author of 4 books including the New York Times bestseller Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food. Her books have taught a generation of ancestral health influencers and nutrition-oriented MDs about the benefits of bone broth, organ meats, fermented foods, and the damaging effects of a collection of 8 common seed oils (The Hateful 8) that are the single worst ingredient in the food supply.  She cocreated the PRO Nutrition program for the LA Lakers and runs a telehealth practice and health education website.

    Elaine Lin Hering Discusses Unlearning Silence and How Silence Effects Our Bodies, Our Workplaces and Our Society

    Elaine Lin Hering Discusses Unlearning Silence and How Silence Effects Our Bodies, Our Workplaces and Our Society

    Today we welcome Elaine Lin Hering to the podcast. In her new book, UNLEARNING SILENCE: How to Speak Your Mind, Unleash Talent, and Live More Fully,  Elaine takes our culture of silence to task. Each of us has a unique gift to offer our community: our voice. But despite our distinct and valuable perspectives, many of us choose to stay silent. Family norms, workplace hierarchies, and biased cultures can make us think twice about expressing ourselves, sharing new ideas, and even speaking out when we know something is wrong.  Elaine Lin Hering has worked with mental health professionals, political officials, religious communities, and leaders at companies including American Express, Google, Nike, Pixar, and the Red Cross to build skills in communication, collaboration, and conflict management. In her work, she’s seen the pervasive influence of silence in many forms. Elaine has developed strategies to recognize and unlearn unconscious patterns so we can make intentional choices about how we want to show up at home and at work.

    Kristina Kuzmic Shares About Parenting Her Struggling Teen and Her New Book ‘I Can Fix This’

    Kristina Kuzmic Shares About Parenting Her Struggling Teen and Her New Book ‘I Can Fix This’

    This episode contains talk of depression and suicidal ideation. Please listen responsibly. Today on the podcast we have world-renowned speaker Kristina Kuzmic. Kristina went from being a single mom living on food stamps to supporting her child through severe depression.  She has been lucky enough to thrive on social media, juggling all of life’s challenges and encouraging her audience to prioritize their mental health. She has quickly become a viral sensation with 2.9 million Facebook followers and well over 600,000 Instagram followers. . Even as the platforms evolve, her message continues to resonate with parents who need to hear that it's okay to be less than perfect. In her new book, I CAN FIX THIS, And Other Lies I Told Myself While Parenting My Struggling Child, Kristina shares what she learned the year her son's life seemed to unravel. These revelations helped her not only bear witness to his journey to healing but transformed the way she talks and thinks about parenting and showed her the unhealed wounds  in herself that must be addressed. We have a powerful conversation today on Kristina’s journey, her experience dealing with her son’s depression, how she navigated the experience, and ended up writing a book with the support of her son – on the other side of some of the most turbulent years. Watch the video of Kristina and her son Luca, that we reference in the episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAiUpIvuY4o
