feelgoodery Kyle Buchanan

Bee's are magical creatures. And we know that honey is good for us  - but what about all of that other stuff we hear about, but might not know how to use, like: 
-Bee Propolis
-Bee Pollen, and
-Royal Jelly? 

What ARE those things, HOW do they benefit our health, and how can we use them?

In today's episode, we are talking with  someone who comes from a Beekeeping legacy. 
We're chatting with  Angela Ysseldyk of Dutchman's Gold, and she's breaking it all down for us. 

We cover a lot in this episode, from bee products, to sustainability and how you and I can support the bees, to the trials and hardhships of navigating change and running a small business. 

Here are some of the things we cover today:
Why are bees so special?What's the difference between pasteurized vs unpasteurized honey? What is bee proplis, royal jelly and bee pollen?How can honey or bee pollen help with seasonal allergies? Sustainability when it comes to bees and bee products - and what to look forHow you and I can help the bees on a daily basis Angela's Bee Friendly PromiseWhat Angela does on tough days running a small businessAngela's feelgood thing About Angela:

THANKYOU!

If this headline made you do a double take, you're not alone. 

We know that the nutrition world can be incredibly confusing, and frankly, incredibly annoying.

Part of the reason I do this podcast is to vent about my frustrations about the industry, because sometimes it really is exhausting to see all of the contradictory information out there.  And it can leave us feeling like there’s not even a point in trying, which doesn’t serve us. 

Recently, a headline came out stating that intermittent fasting might be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular death  . . . which is a very dramatic statement. So in today’s episode, I want us to eat a major grain of salt and really break this all down, so you feel equipped to come to your own conclusions. 

We're covering:
what I did immediately when this article was sent to mewhat was the study that made this claim?  was it a published study? why are observational studies tricky? let's play devil's advocate . . . what could be a reason for this finding? why could intermittent fasting increase the risk of cardiovascular death? why it could be more important that ever to focus on this one macronutrient the takeawaytoday's feelgood thing Want to stay in the loop about upcoming announcements and ways in which we can work together?

And then, I want to ask you 3 very specific questions.

You know those days where you get sidetracked and swept away with anxiety, or self doubt or your brain starts going wild with the comparison game?

It's those days where you just can't seem to get perspective, where you can't quite see it . . .  and you just want someone ELSE to tell you that it's all going to work out.
    
Today’s episode is for those days. For when I - and you (if you’re in the mood) - could use a few reminders to get our brains back on track. 


It’s a different sort of episode, but it’s one from the heart.
