    Consumer Advocacy in the Food Industry - Savage Style

    Can you imagine how food shopping would be if you knew every brand on the shelf had been developed under the direction of a consumer advocate? What would it be like to have food companies creating educational videos about their ingredients and labeling instead of creating commercials designed to entertain and distract you? On today's episode, my business partner and one of my best friends, Meghan Nardone joins me to discuss why food costs so much, what goes into developing products for the consumer, how our brand, Savage Snacks, has been created based on consumer advocacy and transparency and a whole lot more. This conversation has something for everyone. If you eat food, buy food, or make food, you will want to listen! If you have a business, are in a start-up phase or are looking for motivation to create change in your own sphere of influence, you will want to listen!

    Counterfeit Cues: How Synthetic Fragrances Silently Sabotage You

    There is a saying, "What you don't know won't hurt you", but after this recent product development and lengthy research into synthetic fragrances, I would beg to differ. These seemingly innocent chemicals are in the bulk of consumer products and they are wrecking havoc in some exceptionally significant ways right under our nose! If you have concerns with allergies, sensitivities, migraines, weight gain (seemingly for no reason) hormone imbalance, depression, anxiety, low testosterone and fatigue. DO NOT MISS THIS EPISODE! I do believe there is a solid amount of info on the dangers of synthetic fragrances out there but there is a lot more than what has been talked about. Some of what I discovered about this ingredient is just recently begun to be studied and quite a lot seems to be still slipping through the cracks. What we don't know IS hurting us. Here are links to the brands I mention in the show: Thistle Farms Candles - https://thistlefarms.org/ Alabaster Fragrance - https://www.alabasterfragrance.com/ (Discount Code WHF10 for 10% off) One Seed Perfume - https://oneseedperfumes.com/ Dr Bronners - https://www.drbronner.com/collections/all Also, our sponsor for this podcast is Guardian Angel Desserts!

    Prebiotics, Probiotics, Psychobiotics and All Things Gut Health!

    There is no denying the gut health conversation is just getting started. We have much still to learn about this complex system that stretches far beyond probiotics. In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Aicacia Young from Silverfern Brand. When I discovered Silverfern and noticed the products were intelligently and strategically combining strains of bacteria (no, this is not usually the case in most probiotic blends) AND introducing psychobiotics into their formulations, I KNEW this was a brand I needed to talk to and that there must be a game changing, genius formulator behind some of the blends. I was right! Aicacia is an extraordinary scientist with expertise and knowledge about gut health, bacteria strains and the role these microorganisms play in our overall wellness. I am thrilled to share this episode with you that is chock full of information, tools and solutions for optimal gut health.

    Supplement Like An Athlete: Fuel Your Inner Elite

    What is an elite performer? Without question, professional athletes are in a class of their own! There are some phenomenally talented people in this world! After years of working with them in their grueling schedules and demanding lifestyles, business executives and entertainment industry professionals are also high level achievers, which I like to call Business Athletes and Artist Athletes. Also on the roster are moms, teachers, social workers, construction workers and many others that are elite performers in their own right looking to push their personal boundaries day in and day out. From my perspective, it is the mindset that set these people apart, not the profession or title. I have a passion to remind people of their own high level potential and equip them with the tools to be exceptional in their field. On this podcast I am joined by Craig Dinkel. Craig is a sprint freestyle and fly swimmer, he trained and competed for years on a world-class level, was coached by two different Olympic coaches as well as the second winningest swim coach in NCAA's history in all divisions. Some of his accomplishments are: * He twice qualified for Olympic Trials * Earned 23 All-Americans * Set 4 NCAA records * Won 3 NCAA Team Titles * Competed in several International competitions * Won 3 gold medals at Jr. Olympics * Was the fastest inductee into his collegiate Hall of Fame * AND One of his records held for 20 years, the same record that qualified him as the 2nd fastest sprint freestyler in the world at one time. In addition to his exceptional and elite athleticism, Craig is owner of Biotropic Labs, a supplement brand that I love! He and I discuss his brand, some of the formulations and how it all came to be. I had such a great time talking with him and hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!

    Nature's Remedies: An Ethnobotany Inspired Medicine Cabinet

    The general perception is that herbs, bark and roots are just weird teas and capsules that are ineffective and unimpressive -- when in fact, plants were the original remedy and science has copied nature. Most people are unaware of the profound influence natural remedies have had on the development of modern pharmacology. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but in this case, is it? In today's episode, I discuss ethnobotany and pharmacognosy from a researchers and consumers perspective shedding light on the true value of nature and plants as medicine. I will shed light on some of nature's best anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic and anti-viral items, share some of my personal staples in my natural medicine cabinet and other random stories, as usual. Here are some links mentioned in the show: WHO list of essential medicines https://list.essentialmeds.org Clean Chlorella https://www.healthrangerstore.com/products/organic-clean-chlorella-sl-200mg-400-tablets If you would like to learn more about what I do or work with me, please head over to: www.wendimichelle.com or instagram https://www.instagram.com/1wendimichelle/ If you enjoy this content, I would highly recommend taking my Creating Wholeness Course which covers ways YOU can best apply Nutrition, Movement, Stress, Sleep, Emotional and Mental Wellness practices to your life for optimal health and wellbeing! https://wendimichelle.learnworlds.com As always, thank you for listening and sharing this content with people you know and love.
