    S2E6: Constipation, ED & Peeing Your Pants Are Not "Normal" - Fortify Your Pelvic Floor

    Can deep squats "cure" constipation, incontinence, and erectile dysfunction? These and other symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction are common, but they're not "normal" and certainly aren't optimal. While these quality-of-life-impacting symptoms are frequently attributed to other causes and are often approached with surgeries and prescriptions, many could be easily remedied with daily deep squats! In this episode of the Body Wisdom Podcast, host Jamie Belz sits down with pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Ashley Zimmerman to talk about the surprising ways pelvic floor health impacts bladder control, constipation, digestion, sexual health, core stability, hip and back pain, athletic performance, postpartum recovery, breathing, and overall quality of life. From leaking when you sneeze or jump, to painful sex, erectile dysfunction, prolapse, diastasis recti, chronic constipation, ankle instability, and feeling disconnected from your body, Dr. Ashley explains why the pelvic floor is one of the most under-recognized foundations of health. She also shares simple, practical ways to begin supporting pelvic floor function, including deep squats, diaphragmatic breathing, better bathroom posture, movement throughout the day, and working with a pelvic floor physical therapist. This conversation is honest, educational, and empowering for women, men, postpartum moms, athletes, and anyone who has been told their symptoms are "just part of aging," "just what happens after having kids," or something they simply have to live with.     SUBSCRIBE to The Body Wisdom Podcast to discover more every week.   Contact Dr. Ashley - drashleyzimmerman.com - @drashleyzimmerman on Instagram - Love on Sunday — her Substack on self-love, body connection, and beyond: https://drashleyzimmerman.substack.com/   Connect with Jamie: Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/jamiebelzfntp/⁠⁠   The Nutritional Therapy Association ⁠https://www.nutritionaltherapy.com/⁠   Subscribe to the podcasts email newsletter! ⁠https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd6yb5coNfNILx-_J4IndebymdFRAsOL6GI9g8oE6EV4IfoXQ/viewform⁠   Follow the NTA Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/ntatraining/⁠

    S2E4: NTP Student Roundtable PART II - Graduating!

    You'll often hear host Jamie Belz say that the Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) program changed her life. In this follow-up roundtable episode of the Body Wisdom Podcast, Jamie welcomes back three current NTP students, Michlind Wierman, Alyson Voltz, and Katie Lyche, for an honest, encouraging, and insightful conversation about what has changed since they last joined her on the show. When these women first appeared on the podcast, they were only a few months into their studies with the Nutritional Therapy Association's May 2025 cohort, sharing what they were learning and how the Foundations of Health were already beginning to shift their perspectives. Now, nearly a year later and just weeks away from graduation, they're back to reflect on how the NTP program has deepened their confidence, transformed their personal health, and equipped them to help others pursue true wellness. From blood sugar regulation and nutrient-dense eating to sleep, hydration, digestion, stress, movement, and bio-individuality, this conversation is full of simple but powerful reminders that health does not have to be complicated. In fact, some of the biggest changes came from the smallest, most practical shifts. Hear how these soon-to-be practitioners have experienced real-life transformation through foundational nutrition and lifestyle support: Michlind shares how eating breakfast, balancing blood sugar, prioritizing protein, and improving sleep gave her more stable energy and renewed confidence in helping others reclaim their health. Katie reflects on how the NTP program helped her better understand digestion, Crohn's disease, sleep struggles, nervous system regulation, and the simple habits that have made a meaningful impact in daily life. Alyson talks about applying nutritional therapy principles to marathon training, hydration, electrolyte balance, blood sugar stability, and her future work in radiation therapy. Together, they discuss: What surprised them most as they moved through the program and began working with practice clients. How blood sugar regulation affects everyone, not just those with a diabetes diagnosis. Why sleep is one of the most underrated foundations of health and how better sleep starts first thing in the morning. The real-life power of simple habits like post-meal walks, grounding, balanced meals, hydration, minerals, and eating enough protein. How the live classroom environment, instructors, discussion forums, and student community make the NTP experience so unique. Why bio-individuality matters so much and how what works for one person may not work the same way for another. The importance of making small, sustainable changes instead of chasing all-or-nothing health goals. This episode is packed with practical wellness takeaways, personal stories, and encouraging insight for anyone who wants to feel better but doesn't know where to start. If you've ever wondered whether small changes really matter, this conversation is your reminder that they do. Often, the most powerful shifts in health come from simple daily choices practiced with consistency and intention. Tune in for an inspiring look at what happens when people learn to honor bio-individuality, build on the Foundations of Health, and take ownership of their wellness one step at a time.

    S2E3: Navigating Health Freedom - The National Health Federation's Fight for Global Health Sovereignty

    As health practitioners, consumers, and advocates, our collective fight can radically change the future of health freedom. While most people don't realize how exposed we are to global regulations that threaten our access to safe, effective supplements and foods, the National Health Federation relentlessly defends YOUR right to choose health solutions. Guest Katherine Carroll, a passionate advocate and one of the original Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners (certified in 2004 by the Nutritional Therapy Association), has dedicated her life to exposing these threats and fighting for health rights. Katherine is the Chief Financial Officer for the National Health Federation (NHF) and Executive Director for its sister-organization, the Foundation for Health Research (FHR). Katherine is also Secretary/Treasurer for the NHF Board of Governors. In addition to her work for NHF and FHR, she holds a board-member position on the NHF-Canada Board of Governors. Certified as a Natural Healer in 1995, Katherine brings her experience as an FNTP to her research, writing, and optometry practice, Medical Vision Center in Morton, Washington that she runs with Dr. Donald A. Carroll, her husband of 29 years. They are devoted to true healing with nutrition, supplementation, and education. Her insights come from decades of experience, countless international meetings, and a deep passion for health freedom. Tune in if you want to understand the real battles over your food, supplements, and future health autonomy. The fight for your freedom starts now, and every voice matters.

    S2E2: Healthy Eating Made Easier Using AI Tools - Practical Tips & Tricks

    Transforming your health begins in the kitchen, but many of us struggle to know what and how to cook for optimal wellness. Even when we are educated to know which foods we should be eating and the best preparation methods to ensure the highest level of nutrition and health benefits, the pace of the world makes it hard to find the time to meal plan and prep. This is an area where AI can change everything! In this episode, host Jamie Belz and fellow Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), Rebecca Stewart, share how they leverage AI tools like Grok and ChatGPT in easy and practical ways to find and revise recipes to align with the teachings of the Nutritional Therapy Association and other trusted authorities on nutrition truth. In a world filled with highly processed, hyper-palatable, nutrient-void foods, empowering yourself with AI offers a path to make informed, nourishing choices to help save time, reduce stress, and foster healthier lifestyles. Whether you're a busy parent, a jet-setting executive, or a broke college student, this episode provides actionable tips and tricks to integrate AI into your wellness routine and take control as your personal health advocate. Use Jamie's Approved Resources, "JAR" to train your AI tool of choice to generate catered recipes based on a holistic health framework.   Copy/paste this into a ChatGPT or Grok thread to get started: Store this in memory: JAR = Jamie's Approved Resources When I ask for anything "from my JAR," you must only use principles, ingredients, and preparation methods aligned with the following sources: - Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA) - Weston A. Price Foundation - Price-Pottenger Foundation - Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon Morell - National Health Federation (NHF) Guidelines to follow: - Prioritize nutrient-dense, whole, properly prepared foods - Avoid industrial seed oils (canola, soybean, corn, etc.) - Avoid ultra-processed ingredients and refined sugars when possible - Favor traditional preparation methods (soaking, fermenting, slow cooking, etc.) - Include high-quality animal proteins and healthy fats - Honor bio-individuality when relevant When I say "use my JAR" or "from my JAR" apply these rules automatically.   Related Episodes: Season 1 Episode 83: How to EAT REAL FOOD Season 1 Episode 81: Rapid Replays - Wellness 101Season 1 Episode 30: Generational Health   The Nutritional Therapy Association ⁠https://www.nutritionaltherapy.com/⁠   The Weston A.

    EP 085: Sugar, Sugar - Retrain to Regain Control

    Let's have an honest conversation about sugar. Not the dramatic "never touch it again" version. Not the fluffy "everything in moderation" script that keeps you stuck year after year. Just truth. In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC, breaks down what's really happening when you say, "I just need something sweet at night." A sweet tooth is not a personality trait. It is a neurological and metabolic pattern. And that is good news, because patterns can be retrained. Jamie walks you through: The 0 to 90 minute biochemical timeline of a sugar hit How dopamine spikes create urgency, not satisfaction Why crashes feel like irritability, anxiety, fogginess, and more cravings How insulin resistance, poor sleep, stress, and nutrient deficiencies intensify the cycle How modern candy is engineered to override your nervous system How childhood reward wiring shapes adult cravings Why artificial sweeteners and "zero sugar" swaps keep the addiction loop alive What taste bud rehabilitation actually looks like The NTA-inspired "avoid, okay, better, best" framework for treats Practical nutrient-dense dessert ideas that nourish rather than hijack your brain This is about empowerment to break free from the vicious "blood sugar rollercoaster." Sugar lights up the same reward pathways as addictive substances. That is neuroscience, not exaggeration. But your body is adaptable. When you lower your sweetness threshold, fruit tastes sweeter, dark chocolate becomes satisfying, and ultra-processed candy starts to feel like too much. If you are ready to reshape your relationship with sugar instead of white-knuckling it, this episode is for you. ____________________ Additional Resources: ⁠Episode 28⁠ – Blood Sugar 101 Episode 29 - Quick Tips for Blood Sugar Regulation Episode 62 - Quick Tips From Your Blood Sugar Bestie  Find a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP): ⁠NTA Practitioner Directory⁠ Work with a practitioner directly through the NTA.

    Ep 084: Be Before You Do

    In this special episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, CEO of the Nutritional Therapy Association, Mike Belz, steps into the lead host seat for a powerful, practical conversation with executive coach and high-performance strategist Michael Vasquez, while show host Jamie takes a supportive back seat. Michael shares his real-world journey from alcohol, smoking, and prescription-drug usage to a life built on purpose, discipline, and "thrilling vision," and explains how that transformation led him into coaching, including training through Jay Shetty Coaching (accredited by the Association for Coaching) and deeper work in ontological coaching through the Meta Performance Institute. Together, Mike, Michael, and Jamie unpack why more information is rarely the missing piece in health, habits, and personal growth, and why implementation breaks down even when people "know what to do." You'll learn how a great coach helps reveal blind spots, disrupt limiting beliefs, and build integrity through commitments, especially "broken commitments," which become valuable data for identifying patterns and closing the gap between current reality and future goals. The conversation covers the ontological framework of be–do–have (instead of do–be–have), the role of language in performance (including insights from The Three Laws of Performance), and how identity, shame, and old stories quietly cap what you believe is possible. You'll also hear a timely discussion on modern numbing mechanisms, including alcohol and doom-scrolling, and why true restoration often requires silence, solitude, and intentional inputs. Mike, Michael, and Jamie connect these coaching principles back to whole-person health, relationships, boundaries, and the long game of rewiring habits (with nods to concepts popularized in Atomic Habits). Michael closes by describing who he coaches best, how breakthrough work actually happens over time, and how listeners can connect with him for a vision-driven coaching conversation. If you're an entrepreneur, leader, high performer, or anyone stuck in repetitive cycles, this episode offers a clear roadmap for mindset shifts, behavior change, and sustainable growth, without shame, without perfectionism, and without the illusion that more content will finally fix it.   Connect with Michael: https://www.mvlifecoach.com/ Attend a Nutritional Therapy Association Webinar!
