    Ep. 271 Raising Healthy Kids--The Nutrients That Matter Most

    Today I am joined by Dr. Abby Kramer a trained Chiropractor and Medical Director at Fringe Heals. In this episode we’re talking about the current state of kids nutrition and why so many children’s supplements have turned into glorified candy loaded with sugar, dyes, artificial flavors, and unnecessary additives. We dive into how growing bodies need real nourishment—not just trendy marketing—and the importance of focusing on foundational nutrition to support development, immune health, energy, brain function, behavior, and overall wellness. This episode is all about simplifying kids nutrition, reducing the overwhelm, and helping parents better support their children’s growing bodies with a more foundational approach to health.

    Ep. 269 Healthy Sun Exposure, Clean Sunscreen & Protecting Your Skin From the Inside Out

    Today we’re talking all about building a healthier relationship with the sun—without fear. I break down why I focus on gradually working up to sun exposure, prioritizing early morning and later afternoon sunlight, and paying attention to UV intensity rather than avoiding the sun altogether. We also discuss how I personally use the dminder app to monitor UV levels, estimate vitamin D production, and better understand when the sun is strongest. We also dive into my thoughts on mineral and tallow-based sunscreens for prolonged exposure, why I avoid the “burn now, deal with it later” mentality, and the nutrition strategies I focus on to support healthier, more resilient skin from the inside out.

    Ep. 268 Prenatal & Postpartum Nutrition-Women Deserve Better

    This episode dives into why women deserve a far higher standard of care during pregnancy and postpartum. Pregnancy is one of the most nutrient-demanding phases of life, yet many women are entering it already depleted, stressed, undernourished, and running on empty. I discuss how inadequate nutrition may contribute to a more symptomatic pregnancy, harder recovery, hormone imbalances, blood sugar dysregulation, fatigue, hair loss, anxiety, postpartum depletion, and long-term health struggles beyond birth. This episode is about moving beyond the “survive motherhood” mentality and supporting women with truly optimal nourishment. I also break down my top prenatal rankings and why quality, nutrient forms, choline, iron, methylation support, and bioavailability matter so much.

    Ep. 266 Akkermansia: The Gut Bacteria Linked to Metabolism & Longevity

    There’s one gut bacterium getting a lot of attention in the research world—and for good reason. In this episode, we’re diving into Akkermansia muciniphila, a key microbe that plays a major role in gut lining integrity, metabolic health, and overall inflammation balance. Often referred to as a “beneficial” bacteria, Akkermansia has been linked to improved insulin sensitivity, weight regulation, and a stronger gut barrier.

    Ep. 265 Sound Healing w/ Tina Pierce

    Sound healing—especially sound baths—works by using acoustic vibrations to affect the body and mind. These sounds can actually influence brainwave patterns and the nervous system. Research shows that slow, rhythmic, low-frequency tones can help shift the brain into alpha and theta states, which are linked to deep relaxation and a calmer response to stress. This down regulation of the sympathetic nervous system can help to lower cortisol levels, support vagal tone, and create optimal physiological conditions that are more conducive to recovery, regulation, and overall homeostasis.  Tina Pierce is an Intuitive Sound Practitioner, Spiritual Life Guide, and Certified Yoga Teacher from the Finger Lakes Region of New York. She is deeply passionate about sound frequency in relation to cellular healing, self discovery, stillness, and activation energy work, having seen their power first-hand through her own transformative journey. Her work weaves together sound, movement, and intuitive guidance to support you in slowing down, releasing what no longer serves you, and reconnecting with your own inner clarity. Tina's website

    Ep. 264 Low Iron? It Might Be Your Gut

    Iron deficiency is often treated with supplements—but what if that’s only addressing part of the picture?

We’ll cover: Why iron deficiency isn’t always a dietary issueHow gut health impacts iron absorptionThe connection between bacterial overgrowth and low ironSigns your gut may be contributing to your deficiencyA more root-cause approach to restoring healthy iron levelsIf you’re ready to take a deeper look at your nutrition and uncover what might be holding your body back, I’m now offering a Nutrition Audit—a personalized review of your diet, patterns, and potential gaps to help you optimize your health from a root-cause perspective.
