I explain what Whole30 is, why it’s considered an elimination program rather than a long term diet and how the reintroduction phase can help you identify food sensitivities or reactions. I also cover the foods you can and cannot eat, including added sugar, grains, legumes, dairy, alcohol, and processed foods.  I share practical tips for preparing, eating out, traveling, and making Whole30 easier including Whole30 friendly options at Chipotle, CAVA, and Urban Plates. I also talk about breakfast ideas, snacks, meal prep, protein, eating at Disneyland, and the biggest challenges I experienced. Finally, I share why I did Whole30, how it affected my habits, sleep, inflammation, skin, and relationship with food, what I missed most, and whether I plan to do it again. Find Jess below!

    191: Creating Energy and Reclaiming Your Health with Tim James

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I’m talking with Tim James, host of Tim Talks Energy and founder of Chemical Free Body. Tim shares the health crisis that changed the direction of his life, including severe digestive issues, painful skin problems, low energy, and an emergency appendectomy while traveling in Peru. We talk about how processed foods, poor nutrition, and chronic stress affected his health and what inspired him to take a more active role in his healing journey. We also talk about creating more energy in midlife, becoming more intentional about the foods we eat, shopping for simple ingredients, finding local farmers, and building supportive health communities. One of my favorite parts of this conversation is our discussion about the connection between physical healing, emotional stress and nervous system regulation. Tim explains why nutrition is only one part of the healing process and why we also need to look at the stressors and relationships affecting our bodies. Tim shares practical ideas for reading labels, choosing nutrient dense foods, reducing processed ingredients, and creating daily habits that support better energy and deeper rest. He also explains how he uses his Organic Energy formula and the protocol he recommends to his community.

    190: Getting to the Root Cause for Gut Healing, Mold Toxicity and Peptides with Amanda Soukoulis

    Send us Fan Mail Amanda Soukoulis shares her personal health collapse in her 20's and how it led her into helping others with functional medicine and nutrition. This conversation focuses on why symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, and poor sleep often trace back to deeper root causes rather than willpower. Amanda also shares the importance of testing in the right order, how gut health connects to hormones and detoxification, and why peptides can be a useful tool when the body is ready for them. Key topics Amanda shares her own turning point: waking up with hives, body aches, severe bloating, and 35 pounds of sudden weight gain after appearing outwardly very healthy.We discuss how high performance, heavy training, emotional stress, and under-fueling can overwhelm the body even when labs initially look normal.She outlines the main issues uncovered in her own case: bacterial pathogen in the gut, postmenopausal-level estrogen in her 20s, adrenal fatigue, sluggish thyroid, and later mold toxicity.Amanda shares how mold toxicity can show up as low energy, brain fog, sleep problems, inflammation, and weight-loss resistance, even when the source is not obvious.Amanda also introduces peptides, how they work as signaling molecules, and why she sees them as an advanced tool that works best after foundational healing.Find Amanda Soukoulis: Here Custom Session with Amanda!
