What's The Juice Olivia Amitrano

What if you’ve never actually experienced your true personality? The truth is, when our hormones are out of whack, we’re totally different people. While there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, there are some key ways that we can all reduce inflammation and regulate our hormones, according to Dr. Corina Dunlap, a naturopathic women’s health and hormone specialist. In this episode, she gets juicy about the link between cortisol and ovulation (hint: we’re all too stressed out) and dives deep into the importance of relationships – with others, ourselves and mother nature. 
 
HERE’S THE JUICE:
What does it feel like when we’re safe in our bodies? This is what balanced hormones feel like! 
How inflammation can affect our mood, and make it hard to understand what our baseline or that “safe” feeling should feel like. 
What the “goldilocks hormones” are – we don’t want too little or too much of them! 
What the first line of action should be in addressing ovulation issues 
Why unplugging your wifi at night could be the best trick to getting better sleep
How chronic stress doesn’t allow your body to feel safe enough to digest properly or ovulate
The best practices that you can adopt day-to-day to help with inflammation.
Clear questions you can ask yourself, like: is this me, or is this my hormones?

Have you ever wondered if it’s possible to reverse the damage we have done to our earth? Have you been told that going vegan is the only way to do so? When Taylor Collins bought 900 acres of factory-farmed land, it was completely barren, desolate, and degraded. But by working with nature’s cycles and reintroducing animals in order to loosen the soil and give back to the land, Taylor transformed his farm into a thriving ecosystem that supports higher crop yields, healthier soil and more nutritious food. In this episode, we talk about the power of connection, the “green narrative,” and what we as consumers can do to help our earth today. The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now – let’s dive in! 
 
HERE’S THE JUICE:
How factory farming works against nature’s principles to yield a higher output yet lower nutritional value
Taylor’s belief that humans aren’t inherently destructive but our values of “more more more” absolutely are
Why monocropping as a “solution” to global food insecurity is promoting a broken system
How regenerative farming mimics the cycles of nature and creates community 
Why we don’t need to stop eating meat but we need to rethink how we do it
The idea that healthy soil is the KEY to nutrient-rich foods and why topsoil is so critical
Why “Impossible” Meat isn’t actually a better or more sustainable solution than regeneratively farmed meat
Why our farmers are in crisis – both personally and financially 
How to vote with our dollars when it comes to food and support the growing community of regenerative farmers

What if the key to weight loss isn’t actually about what’s on our plates? Today I’m chatting with a true gem of a human being as well as a kick-ass nutritionist. Nicki Parlitsis helps her clients achieve their goals but also understand WHY they might be harming themselves with food through binging or restricted diets. In this episode she unpacks how binging is often a deeper reflection on our lives, showing us exactly what we need to focus on within ourselves to ultimately heal our relationship with food. We also discuss why binging is both an emotional AND physical response for many of us and how we can tune into the signs our bodies are giving us before we start to go down toxic paths.
 
HERE’S THE JUICE:
The difference between physical and emotional binge eating
Why women tend to fear gaining muscle and what it actually means to “tone” your body
The importance of training your brain in steps and why intuitive eating is a graduate level course in dietetics
What an all-or-nothing mindset with food looks like and how it contributes to binge eating
The fact that something as simple as thinking about meals as events can help retrain your brain to get out of a snacking mindset and into a space of intentional eating
Nicki’s favorite client hack of meal prepping like a chef 
Why binge eating is not the problem and how to get to the root of what’s happening in your body
Why listening to your hunger cues is the first step to take even if it means abandoning your diet

When was the last time you did a radical 180 about a long held belief? Today I’m sitting down with a brilliant dentist who was once picketing in the streets for water fluoridation — yet was courageous enough to change her mind and speak out once she dug into the data once and for all. Meet Dr. Staci Whitman, a board-certified dentist who takes a whole-body, holistic and functional approach to oral health. In this episode, Staci unpacks the surprising factors that contribute to the decline of our oral health including mouth breathing, hormones, and gut dysbiosis. She explains why these underlying root causes are ignored by conventional dentistry and exactly what we need to be asking about and advocating for at our dentist appointments.
 
HERE’S THE JUICE:
Functional vs. conventional dentistry and the importance of both
Why dental professionals haven't introduced oral microbiome testing as a baseline for all patients 
How hormone imbalance is leading to an increase in cavities in women and the signs to look for in prevention
What LPS is and how it contributes to pathogenic bacteria overgrowth
The fact that we aren’t taught about healthy bacteria and are encouraged to wipe out all our bacteria with products like Listerine 
Why dentists are sometimes the first people to diagnose Crohn's disease and how your oral health can inform gut health
What a cavity is and how it forms
When we may be able to repair cavities without requiring fillings
Why mouth breathing is so detrimental to our oral health and how to retrain yourself into healthy breathing habits 
Resources and recommendations for the products and services we should be talking to our dentist about to be proactive about our oral health

Statistically, there are 15 core people in our lives who will show up when sh$# hits the fan – our mother’s funeral, a cancer diagnosis – they’re on the next plane. What if instead of filling our schedules working towards buying more things, we spent time nurturing the relationships that are truly all we have? In a modern day loneliness epidemic, lack of connection is becoming a disease, but our generation can turn it around. Sah D’Simone is here to say that even though relationships are hard, families are messy, and conflict is scary, this is the only path back to love and longevity. Sah is a spiritual leader, hospital chaplain who supports those at the end of life, and international best-selling author of Spiritually We. In this episode, he breaks down how to increase our capacity so that we can hold space for our people and right our relationships.
 
HERE’S THE JUICE:
Why human connection is a basic biological need (and how we’ve gotten so far away)
Why pop psychology is doing us a disservice by teaching us to cut off relationships with conflict instead of learning to face it
The difference between how easy it is to be spiritual alone in meditation vs. at the family dinner table when triggers come up
How to nurture true connection over complain culture and trauma-bonding relationships
Why your closest relationships are often the most triggering 
How to live with integrity and what a lack of integrity looks like in your closest bonds
Why “conflict is your lovers” how to resolve conflict in a healthy way
Why time away from your parents may be necessary to grow and heal, but the goal is to always bring it back around
Why intellectualizing your feelings and making meaning keeps you from feeling your feelings
How to support someone in grief and the magnitude of holding space for loss

What does “good nutrition” actually mean – and why have we built a BILLION dollar industry that only makes us more confused about how to feed ourselves? Why is it that one day the internet is telling you to be a raw vegan, and 5 years later carnivore is suddenly a panacea? Shyla Cadogan is a registered dietitian focused on making nutrition simple again. Shyla explores the extensive impact that processed foods have on our bodies, while at the same time not putting perfection, whole foods or ‘superfoods’ on a pedestal. She brings some much needed nuance (and humor) to the question: what the heck should I eat and who should I listen to?
 
HERE’S THE JUICE:
Shyla’s transition from intense vegan diets to an unattached, simple way of fueling The importance of finding the middle ground with nutrition rather than opting into extremes Why nutrition professionals have a duty to keep things professional rather than trying to be cutting edge or go viral How the concept of intuitive eating has gotten warped and why most of us are practicing it all wrong and feeling bad about it How you can be anti-diet-culture and still not eat a lot of processed foods Why Shyla says “a true relationship with food is having no relationship with it at all” The importance of not shaming people for being imperfect in their health decisions and educating in a considerate manner The history of “superfoods” and why the term is a bit of a scam The distrust that the public currently has in dietitians (ie. thinking they’re paid by big pharma!) How processed foods were originally created for war times and food corporations have used that opportunity to exploit us How cultural foods play a role in healthy eating
