    Mick Emandi & Dr. Greg Carder: Breakthrough Stem Cell Technology: A New Path to Healing Chronic Pain and Disease

    This week, Tee is joined by Mick Emandi, CEO of Regen MDs, and Dr. Greg Carder, Medical Director of Regen MDs, for a fascinating conversation about one of the most exciting frontiers in modern healthcare: regenerative medicine. Mick has spent more than three decades in healthcare and now leads a regenerative medicine practice dedicated to helping individuals suffering from chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, neurological conditions, cardiovascular disease, and other difficult-to-treat illnesses. Together with Dr. Greg, he explains how advances in molecular hydrogen therapy and next-generation stem cell technology are changing the way practitioners approach healing, recovery, and longevity. In this conversation, Mick and Dr. Greg break down the science behind regenerative medicine in an easy-to-understand way, explaining how it differs from conventional medicine by focusing on repairing the body rather than simply managing symptoms. They discuss why chronic inflammation and oxidative stress are at the root of many diseases, how molecular hydrogen supports mitochondrial function and cellular energy production, and why reducing inflammation is often the first step toward meaningful healing. The discussion also explores how functional medicine seeks to uncover the "why" behind illness and how restoring optimal cellular function can improve both healthspan and quality of life. The episode also takes a deep dive into a new generation of stem cell technology that utilizes regenerative signaling molecules derived from all six regions of the placenta without containing living stem cells or DNA. Mick and Dr. Greg explain how these biological signals help guide the body's own repair processes and discuss why they believe this approach represents a significant advancement over earlier stem cell therapies. They also share real-world examples involving chronic pain, Alzheimer's disease, sports injuries, and recovery, while discussing the growing role regenerative therapies may play in helping people recover from injury, maintain mobility, and age more successfully. If you're interested in longevity, functional medicine, cutting-edge health technologies, or natural approaches to improving quality of life, this episode offers an insightful look at where regenerative medicine may be headed.

    Cindy Anderson: Food, Inflammation, and the Chemicals We Consume Every Day

    This week, Tee is joined by Cindy Anderson, the founder of Manny's Choice, the company behind The Good Gluten®. After surviving breast cancer and struggling with severe gluten intolerance, Cindy discovered she could enjoy food again when using clean, European Flour. Inspired by that experience, she created Manny's Choice to help others enjoy real food without the discomfort often associated with modern wheat products. Her mission is to challenge the conversation around gluten and explore how processing, additives, and food quality may be impacting gut health and overall wellness.  In this conversation, Cindy explains the key differences between European and North American wheat, from farming practices and milling methods to food regulations and ingredient standards. She discusses how modern agricultural practices, food processing, and chemical additives may contribute to digestive discomfort, inflammation, and food sensitivities that many people mistakenly attribute solely to gluten. Cindy also shares why so many travelers find they can comfortably enjoy bread and pasta while visiting Europe, and why she believes nutrient-dense heritage wheat deserves a closer look. The discussion also explores practical ways to reduce your exposure to unnecessary food additives by reading ingredient labels, choosing minimally processed foods, and making small, sustainable changes in your kitchen. Tee and Cindy discuss why clean ingredients matter for the entire family, the importance of supporting gut health, and how simple pantry swaps can make healthy eating both convenient and enjoyable. Whether you're living with gluten sensitivity, curious about food quality, or simply looking to make healthier choices, this episode offers an eye-opening perspective on one of the most common foods in our diet.

    Dr. John E. Lewis: The Importance of Polysaccharides for Brain Health, Immune Function, and Quality of Life

    This week, Tee is joined by Dr. John E. Lewis, PhD, founder and president of Dr. Lewis Nutrition, clinical nutrition researcher, and author of more than 180 peer-reviewed scientific publications. With a career spanning decades in nutrition, exercise science, and human health, Dr. John has dedicated his life to studying how nutrition can influence aging, cognitive function, and overall wellness. In this fascinating conversation, he shares how his journey from competitive bodybuilding to scientific research led him to discover the powerful role of polysaccharides—complex carbohydrates found in plants such as aloe vera and rice bran. In this chat, Dr. John explains why not all sugars are created equal and breaks down the science behind polysaccharides, which he describes as some of nature's most sophisticated and beneficial compounds. He discusses how these plant-derived nutrients support immune regulation, reduce chronic inflammation, nourish the gut microbiome, and influence cellular communication throughout the body. He also shares why aloe vera has earned the title of "the plant of life" in his research and how both aloe and rice bran have been used for centuries for their healing properties. The conversation also explores Dr. John's groundbreaking research at the University of Miami involving individuals with moderate to severe Alzheimer's disease. He discusses findings that showed significant improvements in cognitive function, reductions in inflammatory markers, enhanced immune function, and increased adult stem cell production. In addition, Dr. Lewis shares his personal journey to a plant-based lifestyle, challenges common misconceptions about nutrition and protein, and explains why he believes food remains one of the most powerful tools available for improving healthspan and quality of life. If you're interested in brain health, healthy aging, nutrition science, and natural approaches to wellness, this episode offers an eye-opening look at emerging research that could reshape how we think about aging and disease prevention.

Dr. Gary is the founder and medical director of the Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine and author of two books, Total Recovery: A Revolutionary New Approach to Breaking the Cycle of Pain and Depression and Why You Are Still Sick: How Infections Can Break Your Immune System & How You Can Recover. A pioneer and leader in the field of integrative medicine, Dr. Gary is one of only 19 physicians in the country to be board-certified in both family Medicine and pain medicine. In this chat, Dr. Gary shares how chronic inflammation, not simply aging itself, is the common thread behind many of today's most common health challenges, including chronic pain, fatigue, autoimmune disease, cognitive decline, and Alzheimer's. Dr. Gary also explains why extending your healthspan matters just as much as extending your lifespan and reveals the often-overlooked factors that quietly accelerate aging.

    Martha Carlin: The Gut-Brain Connection

    This week, Tee is once again joined by Martha Carlin, entrepreneur, researcher, microbiome advocate, and author of Connected: Love, Loss, and the Unseen Forces Behind Chronic Disease. Martha's journey into health research began after her husband John was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at just 44 years old. Determined to understand why a seemingly healthy, active man developed a neurodegenerative disease, Martha spent more than two decades investigating the links between gut health, environmental toxins, nutrition, and chronic illness. Her work has led her to explore the emerging science behind the gut-brain axis and how the microbiome may influence neurological health. Martha shares the deeply personal story that inspired her new book, explaining how John's diagnosis launched a lifelong quest to uncover potential root causes of Parkinson's disease. She discusses the role of environmental exposures such as pesticides, herbicides, water contaminants, and processed foods, as well as the impact these factors may have on the gut microbiome. Martha explains why the digestive system functions as a communication hub for the immune system, neurotransmitters, hormones, and brain health, and how disruptions in the microbiome may contribute to inflammation, depression, and chronic disease. In this conversation, Tee and Martha explore the growing body of research connecting gut health to Parkinson's disease, mental health challenges, and other chronic conditions. They discuss practical ways to reduce toxic burden, improve water quality, support the microbiome through nutrition, and make healthier lifestyle choices without becoming overwhelmed. Martha also shares insights into detoxification, emotional healing, and the often-overlooked connection between unresolved grief, stress, and physical illness. Throughout the discussion, she emphasizes the importance of addressing root causes, supporting the body's natural resilience, and empowering individuals to take small steps toward better health.   Connect with Martha: Blog/Substack The BioCollective Instagram BiotiQuest Website   📔 EXCLUSIVE BOOK BONUSES   Pre-order CONNECTED and receive $247 in limited-time bonuses designed to help you apply the action items from Martha:   Get the book + bonuses   Where to order: Amazon (Digital) Barnes & Noble (Paperback)   Follow Therese "Tee" Forton-Barnes and The Green Living Gurus: Austin Air Purifiers: For podcast listeners, take 15% off any Austin Air product; please email Tee@thegreenlivinggurus.com and mention that you want to buy a product and would like the discount.

    Barbara Ann Briggs: From Toxins to Balance: Simple Ayurvedic Keys to Natural Health

    This week, Tee is joined by Barbara Ann Briggs, an author, certified consciousness advisor, spiritual teacher, and longtime practitioner of Ayurveda and Transcendental Meditation. Barbara has dedicated her life to studying and sharing ancient Ayurvedic wisdom that helps individuals cultivate greater health, balance, and longevity. Through her work, she teaches practical ways to strengthen immunity, reduce the impact of modern environmental stressors, and reconnect with the body's innate intelligence. Barbara shares her personal journey into Transcendental Meditation and Ayurveda, explaining how both practices transformed her understanding of health and wellness. She discusses Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's revival of Ayurveda and how this ancient system approaches health through the interconnected relationship between consciousness, mind, body, behavior, and environment. Barbara explains why strengthening the body's natural defenses is often more effective than focusing solely on avoiding toxins, and how daily habits can support resilience in an increasingly polluted world. In this chat, Tee and Barbara explore the growing concerns surrounding chemical exposure, environmental toxins, multiple chemical sensitivities, and chronic stress. They discuss why digestion is considered the foundation of health in Ayurveda, how the body's ability to process food and sensory experiences affects overall well-being, and why individual constitutional types influence dietary and lifestyle recommendations. Barbara also shares insights into Panchakarma cleansing therapies, the importance of seasonal routines, and how meditation can help reduce anxiety, improve emotional balance, and support the body's natural healing processes.

    Vincent D'Alessio: Why the Federal Government Is the Most Dangerous Toxin to Us All

    This week, Tee sits down with Vincent D'Alessio, better known online as Guido Vinny, a real estate investor, real estate agent, business owner, and outspoken advocate for personal responsibility. Although he doesn't work in the health industry, Vinnie has spent years researching government regulation, environmental toxins, food safety, and the growing influence of corporate lobbying on public policy. Together, Tee and Vinny explore the role federal agencies such as the EPA and FDA play in regulating chemicals, food additives, and environmental contaminants. They discuss concerns about industry influence, regulatory loopholes, labeling transparency, glyphosate, fragrance chemicals, and the challenges consumers face when trying to make informed health decisions. Throughout the conversation, both emphasize the importance of becoming your own health advocate, paying attention to what you eat, drink, and put on your body, and taking personal responsibility for reducing toxic exposures in everyday life. They also examine how local food systems, consumer awareness, and civic engagement can help individuals regain control over their health and communities.

    Jodi Scott: Plants With Purpose: Rethinking First Aid, Wellness, and Chemical Exposure

    This week, Tee is joined by Jodi Scott, co-founder and CEO of Green Goo, a plant-based first aid and herbal wellness company dedicated to helping people reduce unnecessary chemical exposure in their everyday lives. With a master's degree in health psychology and more than two decades of experience in health and wellness, Jodi combines her passion for holistic health, herbal medicine, and consumer education to empower individuals to make healthier choices for themselves and their families.  Jodi shares the story behind Green Goo's creation, explaining how she discovered that many of the products sitting in her medicine cabinet contained synthetic ingredients she no longer felt comfortable using on herself or her future child. Alongside her sister, an herbalist and midwife, she began formulating herbal remedies using whole-plant ingredients grown in their own backyard. Their mission was simple: create effective first aid solutions that work with the body's natural healing processes while eliminating unnecessary chemicals, preservatives, and endocrine-disrupting ingredients commonly found in conventional products. Tee and Jodi explore the growing concerns surrounding chemical exposure, endocrine disruptors, synthetic fragrances, and the cumulative impact of personal care products on overall health. They discuss how the Industrial Revolution transformed the products we use every day, why chronic skin conditions and inflammation are becoming increasingly common, and how the skin's connection to the nervous and endocrine systems affects everything from sleep and mood to hormone balance and immune function. Jodi also shares practical advice for reducing toxic load through simple product swaps, rebuilding the skin's natural barrier, and embracing the healing power of plant-based ingredients.  Connect with Jodi:  Website  Instagram Facebook LinkedIn Use Promo Code Welcome15 for 15% off Your Order  Follow Therese "Tee" Forton-Barnes and The Green Living Gurus: Austin Air Purifiers: For podcast listeners, take 15% off any Austin Air product; please email Tee@thegreenlivinggurus.com and mention that you want to buy a product and would like the discount.
