    From McNuggets to Mystery Ingredients: What's Really in Your Food w/ Itay Shechter

    In this episode, I’m sitting down with Itay—and we’re talking about what’s actually in the foods we’re eating every day. If you’ve ever picked up a product thinking it was a “better-for-you” option, this conversation might change the way you look at your pantry—in the best way. This isn’t about fear or perfection, it’s about becoming more aware and making more intentional choices. Here’s what we talk about: Ultra-processed foods aren’t always obvious So many foods that are marketed as “healthy” are still highly processed. Itay breaks down ingredients and helps us understand what’s really in these products—and why it matters. We talk about why I always encourage focusing on whole, real foods as much as possible. The truth about “natural flavors” Just because something says “natural flavors” doesn’t mean it’s simple or clean. Itay explains how vague that term can be and why it’s something to pay attention to when you’re reading labels. Learning to read labels without overwhelm It’s not about doing everything perfectly. It’s about starting somewhere. Itay shares how learning about ingredients completely changed his health journey, and I really think it will inspire you to start looking at labels a little differently too. My biggest takeaway: You don’t have to change everything overnight. Just start paying attention. Start asking questions. That’s where real change begins. I can’t wait for you to listen to this episode. It’s such a good one and I know you’ll walk away feeling more confident the next time you’re at the grocery store. If you loved this episode, it would mean so much if you shared it with a friend or left a review. It helps us keep bringing you these conversations each week.

  2. The Real Reason Gut Disease Keeps Getting Worse w/ Dane Johnson

    The Real Reason Gut Disease Keeps Getting Worse w/ Dane Johnson

    I’m excited to share our latest podcast episode featuring Dane Johnson, an expert in inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis. This conversation is filled with hope, practical tools, and insight for anyone dealing with chronic illness or wanting to better support their gut health. Here are a few of my biggest takeaways: 1. You can take ownership of your healing journeyDane shares his personal story of going from being housebound and severely ill to rebuilding his health and life. A major turning point for him was stepping into the mindset of becoming the “CEO of his health.”  2. Food philosophy plays a big role in gut healingWe talk about how important it is to think intentionally about food choices. Dane encourages a “food philosophy” approach—looking at the potential impact of every food and how it’s prepared. For those with IBD, this can mean starting with softer, easier-to-digest foods and being mindful with things like raw foods and alcohol, which can be harder on an already inflamed gut. 3. Managing stress is foundational for healingStress has a profound effect on gut health and overall inflammation. Dane talks about building your “shield” against stress by identifying triggers and taking real, practical steps to support your nervous system. This isn’t just about mindset—it’s about action: creating boundaries, making adjustments where needed, and intentionally adding in things that bring calm, joy, and regulation. I really loved this conversation and the hope it brings for anyone navigating chronic illness. There is so much more potential for healing when we start addressing the root pieces. Listen now and let us know your thoughts—we love hearing how these episodes resonate with you. Bio: Dane Johnson is naturopathic nutritionist and the Founder of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle, a premier telehealth company on a mission to naturally reverse Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis and other forms of inflammatory bowel disease. He turned his own near-fatal Crohn's/Colitis crisis in 2014 into a lifelong mission of self empowered & fully customized healing solutions. When conventional medicine failed, he fully embraced natural healing—and has stayed surgery-free, medication-free, and symptom-free for the past 11 years.  Through his signature S.H.I.E.L.D.

  3. What Do Peptides Do—Besides Help with Weight Loss? w/ Dr. Stuart Porter

    20 AVR.

    What Do Peptides Do—Besides Help with Weight Loss? w/ Dr. Stuart Porter

    In this episode, I’m excited to bring you my conversation with Dr. Porter, an expert in peptides and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). This is an eye-opening discussion, especially if you’ve been dealing with things like fatigue, brain fog, or just not feeling like yourself and haven’t been able to find clear answers. We talk about CIRS and how it comes back to chronic inflammation in the body. Dr. Porter explains how so many common symptoms we experience are actually connected to this ongoing inflammatory response and how our immune system, gut health, and overall wellness are all deeply linked. We also dive into peptides—what they are and how they work as signaling molecules in the body. I loved how he broke this down in a simple way. Peptides basically help cells communicate and regulate different functions in the body.  And something I really appreciated from this conversation is Dr. Porter’s reminder that foundations matter most. Before anything else, we have to focus on the basics—eating an anti-inflammatory diet, managing stress, and prioritizing good sleep. Peptides can be supportive, but they’re not a replacement for those core lifestyle pieces. I think you’re really going to love this episode. It’s practical, empowering, and gives a new way to look at chronic health challenges. Let me know what you think after you listen. Bio: Stuart B. Porter, D.O. is a distinguished leader in functional medicine and regenerative therapies. He is board certified in Family Medicine and a Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians. A graduate of Brigham Young University (B.S., Design Engineering, 1984) and Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O., 1988, graduating first in his class), Dr. Porter went on to complete his Family Medicine Residency at Madigan Army Medical Center in 1993. From 2003 to 2021, he served as Regional Dean for A.T. Still University’s Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in the Utah Region, mentoring hundreds of medical students over decades of academic leadership. He is certified in peptide therapy through the Seeds Scientific Research & Performance (SSRP) Institute and has become a trusted voice in integrating advanced peptide science with functional and regenerative medicine. Dr. Porter is the founder of Integrative Medical Associates in Provo, Utah, and co-founder of Xage Medical Spa, a regenerative aesthetics practice. His clinical protocols have helped elite athletes, entertainers, and individuals from all walks of life achieve peak performance, longevity, and optimal health. Beyond medicine, Dr. Porter is an accomplished endurance athlete. He has competed in numerous Ironman Triathlon races, qualifying for the Ironman World Championship five times. In 2017, he was ranked first in the US and fourth in the world for full-distance Ironman competition. His passions include backcountry skiing, mountain biking, boating with family and friends, and embracing the outdoors as part of a lifelong commitment to fitness and vitality. He loves serving in his religious community and spending time with his wife of 43 fabulous years, his 5 children and 9 (2 of those are on their way!) grandchildren.

    Healthy Hormones From Puberty to Perimenopause w/ Brooke Welsh

    I’m excited to share our latest podcast episode featuring Brooke Welsh, a women’s health nurse practitioner. This conversation is filled with insights about hormonal health that every woman (and even men!) should hear. Here are a few of my biggest takeaways: Understanding Hormonal ImbalancesBrooke breaks down hormones as the chemical messengers of our bodies and explains how imbalances can show up in so many ways. Social media has made us more aware than ever of these shifts, but awareness is just the start. Brooke talks about root causes—like diet, stress, and environmental toxins —and how they impact our hormonal health. The Role of Diet in Hormone HealthShe talks about how the foods we eat affect our hormones. Brooke points out that the typical American diet is heavy in omega-6s and low in omega-3s, which can contribute to earlier puberty in girls and hormonal issues in both boys and girls. Navigating Hormonal Changes Across Life StagesFrom puberty to postpartum and beyond, Brooke shares her wisdom on how hormones shift at every stage of life. We talk about girls starting periods as early as nine years old and how nutrition can make a difference, as well as postpartum hormone changes and why it’s so important to address them instead of just “waiting it out.” Whether you’re a mom, a young woman navigating puberty, or just curious about your health, there’s something here for you. Bio: Brooke Welsh MSN, WHNP-BC is the owner and practitioner at Avail Wellness serving the greater American Fork, Lehi and surrounding areas. She has been in the medical field for over 24 years with over 16 years as a nurse practitioner. Brooke began her career in healthcare as a registered nurse working in labor and delivery, then decided to further her education by advancing to a master’s degree. She graduated from the University of Utah with her Women's Health Nurse Practitioner degree.  After graduation Brooke had the opportunity to work in reproductive endocrinology (infertility), learning under multiple highly respected and successful reproductive endocrinologists. Brooke has also had the opportunity to work in family medicine, Ob/Gyn, and medical spa throughout her career. These career opportunities have given her extensive knowledge and training in working with hormones, weight loss, infertility, general health conditions, mental health, and obstetrics/ gynecology. Brooke is passionate about helping her patients feel more like themselves, and integrative medicine has allowed her the freedom to treat patients the way they should be treated. She loves that this field of medicine allows her to spend more time with her patients in order to achieve their wellness goals.

    In this episode, I sit down with Kelly and Allison, the founders of Branch Basics, to talk about safer products for your home and why they matter for your health. Kelly and Allison’s journey started with their own health struggles and a desire to create safer living spaces for their families. Through research and learning about the chemicals in everyday products, they discovered how much our homes can impact our well-being—and they’ve made it their mission to help others make smarter choices.

    Why Everyone is Talking About Hydrogen Water w/ Dr. Paul Barattiero

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Paul Barattiero about hydrogen water—what it really is, how it works, and why it might make a difference for your health. Dr. Barattiero’s interest in hydrogen water began with a personal story: his wife struggled with thyroid issues and severe menstrual pain, but her health dramatically improved after drinking hydrogen-infused water on a cruise. That experience inspired him to explore the science behind it—and he shares what he’s learned in this episode. We cover: What Hydrogen Water Really Is: The difference between regular water (H₂O) and hydrogen-infused water, and why the gas matters. The Benefits for Gut and Overall Health: How hydrogen water supports beneficial gut bacteria, mood, energy, sleep, and even cognitive function. Real-Life Applications: Stories of people experiencing improvements in digestive issues, inflammation, ADHD, depression, and more. Spotting Gimmicks vs. Real Benefits: How to identify hydrogen water products that actually work. If you’ve ever wondered if your water could do more for you—or are looking for natural ways to support your gut, mood, and overall well-being—this episode is for you! Bio: Dr. Paul Barattiero is a pioneering advocate for molecular hydrogen therapy with over two decades of experience in the health and wellness industry. As the founder of Echo Water, he has also held C-level executive positions at prominent wellness companies. His career is marked by a commitment to advancing the benefits of hydrogen therapy and holistic health solutions.  His journey into hydrogen therapy was deeply personal, driven by his desire to alleviate the severe gynecological issues and debilitating anemia his wife suffered from during the first ten years of their marriage. In his research, Paul discovered the potential of hydrogen water to address health issues similar to those his wife was facing. After she began consuming hydrogen water, her health improved dramatically, including a full resolution of her anemia condition.  Inspired by these results, Paul created the Echo Water Hydrogen System designed to harness the power of hydrogen water to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation—key contributors to many chronic diseases. Echo Water now offers a range of products dedicated to supporting detoxification, cognitive function, immune health, and gut recovery.  In addition to his work with Echo Water, Paul is also the visionary behind LumaNova, a groundbreaking company focused on light therapy for wellness. With a range of products, including the LumaNova Vitamin D Light™, Paul is bringing scientifically backed light therapy into homes and wellness centers. LumaNova's mission is to help individuals improve mood, sleep, and overall well-being by tapping into the regenerative power of light—one of the most effective, natural tools for improving health and vitality.  A passionate educator, Paul has been featured on prominent television and radio programs in the USA, Germany, and Switzerland, including The Jeff Krilley Show, WTH? The Doctor’s Chat, the Dr. Mindy Pelz Podcast, The Lourdes and Chris Show, The Swell Score, The Ultimate Human Podcast, and more.  His life mission is to spread awareness of how hydrogen water can enhance quality of life by helping to prevent disease by neutralizing harmful free radicals and mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation.

  7. Is Your Body Running Low on Power? w/ Dr. Chase Faldmo

    Is Your Body Running Low on Power? w/ Dr. Chase Faldmo

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Chase from The Healing Playbook to talk about something we don’t hear about enough—your body’s power and how it impacts your ability to heal. We dive into how nutrition, emotional trauma, dental health, and even environmental factors like EMFs all play a role in your body’s energy at a cellular level. I loved his perspective that real, nutrient-dense foods actually increase your body’s power, while things like unresolved emotions, toxins, and even dental issues can drain it. We also talk about the connection between emotions and organs—like how grief affects the lungs, anger impacts the liver, and worry can disrupt digestion—and why working through emotional health is key for physical healing. The biggest takeaway: your body is designed to heal, but it needs the right support. By focusing on what you’re eating, how you’re processing emotions, and reducing everyday stressors, you can help restore your body’s natural energy and function. This episode is such a powerful reminder of how connected everything in our body really is. Bio: Dr. Chase Faldmo is a chronic illness survivor, chiropractor, author, entrepreneur & public speaker. He looks at the body from an electrical perspective and specializes in solving the most unique health conditions around the world using physics, frequency and nerve connections.

The Power of Natural Remedies: From honey to probiotics and vitamin D, Phil shares natural ways to support your immune system. He even explains why real honey can be more effective than traditional cough syrups for soothing coughs—simple, natural, and effective.
