    Allie Chandler talks about her healing journey through functional medicine

    We would love to hear from you. Click here and let us know what you thought of this episode. What an incredible healing story from Allie Chandler.  Allie Chandler is the founder of Upsell Health, where she helps functional medicine practitioners and supplement companies grow through heart-centered marketing strategies.   Allie's path into wellness marketing began in the most unexpected way. In 2013, while teaching high school creative writing, she took what was supposed to be a liberating trip to Europe. Instead, she found herself mysteriously ill in Amsterdam, beginning an eight-year journey through chronic Lyme disease, mold toxicity, and the frustrating world of "everything looks normal" test results. Those years of being bedbound, losing 35 pounds in two months, and navigating complex health protocols taught her exactly what patients are looking for—and how to help practitioners reach them.

  5. Why do women's health and nutrition differ from men's? Dr. John Lewis joins me to discuss

    Why do women's health and nutrition differ from men's? Dr. John Lewis joins me to discuss

    We would love to hear from you. Click here and let us know what you thought of this episode. Nutrition and fitness expert Dr. John Lewis says there are many questionable marketing practices when it comes to women's health. The dairy industry is a prime example of that. The research shows that countries with the highest consumption of dairy have the highest rates of osteoporosis; the US being one of them! While cow’s milk is high in calcium, it is also high in protein and low in magnesium, making the calcium from dairy food poorly absorbed. Visit drlewisnutrition.com John E. Lewis, Ph.D. is the Founder and President of Dr Lewis Nutrition® and past full-time Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and now Voluntary Associate Professor in the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. He is also a Diplomate, Faculty Member, and Advisor of the Medical Wellness Association. He has been the principal investigator of over 30 different studies in his research career. During that time, he either directly raised or indirectly supported raising over $23 million in grants, gifts, and contracts for research studies and clinical trials and educational programs for medical students.

    We would love to hear from you. Click here and let us know what you thought of this episode. I really enjoyed talking with Meenal.  She is on a mission to remove food allergies in children. Her product Lil Mixins is a great start. She talks about how it can help young parents get through the first year with their newborns. Meenal addressed many questions on the topic such as: *Have we stalled in terms of nutrition science or what is needed in the industry to keep making breakthrough discoveries? *Why is it important to think about nutrition from an early age and how can it prevent problems later in life? *Why aren’t more parents aware of the data and the best practices for allergen introduction? *What strides have been made in informing and empowering parents to make smart decisions for their children? Meenal Lele is an entrepreneur with multiple patents, several published clinical studies, and over a dozen profitable medical products. Lele is the founder and CEO of Hanimune Therapeutics which owns Lil Mixins, the only insurance covered brand for food allergy prevention, and Top9Proteins, a B2B suite of patented proteins for allergists treating food allergies. She is also the author of The Baby and the Biome, a book written to educate parents on the true causes of and solutions to allergic disease. As a food allergy parent, Meenal's mission is to end the food allergy epidemic in America. Thanks for listening. Join us for our other Podcast, Tonia's Kitchen.
