On this episode of The Health Detective Podcast, host Evan Transue, AKA, Detective Ev, is talking with guest Matty Lansdown, a scientist, nutritionist, and coach specializing in emotional eating and self-sabotage.
Matty's journey began with a career in disease research and nutritional epigenetics, leading him to a profound understanding that most diseases are not a consequence of bad luck, but rather poor nutrition and lifestyle choices. He emphasizes the significance of mindset and behavior change over mere dietary adjustments.
Throughout the podcast, Matty shares his personal development journey, including challenges from his upbringing and how it propelled him towards personal growth and helping others. The discussion covers the misconceptions around medicine and nutrition, the impact of sugar on health, and how individuals continue to struggle with food psychology. Matty offers insights into his approach to helping clients overcome eating issues by addressing the root causes of their habits and emphasizes the importance of understanding one's relationship with food. The podcast also touches upon the critical role of nutrition and lifestyle in preventing diseases like cancer and diabetes, bringing to light Lansdown's mission to help people not just to diet better but to live healthier, more mindful lives.

On this episode of The Health Detective Podcast, we're talking to Jake Kocherhans, who went from chronic bloating to gut health guru!
 
Jake is the founder of Atlas Functional Wellness, a virtual health clinic focusing on chronic bloating and other gut-related issues. Jake's journey into the health and wellness space escalated when his girlfriend, Callie, experienced severe health problems after moving to Austin, Texas. From brain fog and fatigue to severe anxiety and digestive issues, Callie's health significantly deteriorated, sparking Jake's interest in Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN).
 
Through FDN, Jake and Callie discovered the root cause of her health problems was mold exposure in their home, along with high levels of Candida. This discovery led Jake to pursue FDN certification and run the necessary tests to diagnose and treat Callie's condition, which ultimately led to her recovery. The podcast also delves into Jake's transition from focusing on weight loss to specializing in gut health, driven by his personal experiences and a passion for helping others with similar issues. The discussion includes the impact of gut health on overall wellness, including weight management, and details about specific protocols used to address gut health issues like SIBO, candida, and mold exposure.Where to find Jake:
