Taylored Talks Taylor Sappington

If you are currently consuming cottage cheese, you may want to finish it before pressing play. Just a friendly heads-up as we enter into a true and potentially graphic cycle health discussion but news flash... it's your body. You should know what's going on and this episode could potentially be a wake-up call for you. I want to share with you how you can naturally track your menstrual cycle and why it's important whether you are wanting to conceive right now or not.

We are talking Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS for short today and I hope the title grabbed your attention because this topic is one I love to cover and by that I mean debunking the diagnosis. IBS only needs symptoms to reach a "diagnosis" and it comes from a process of elimination and not actually pinpointing what's actually going on. If you know me, this annoys me to not end which is part of the reason why I left the hospital setting and I hope through today's episode you'll understand the concept of IBS from a better lens.

Does organic matter? I want to approach this topic by looking at it through food consumption with children. I also want to take cost, quality and the research into consideration while also sharing my practices and experiences.

Our kids are suffering from the events that took place 2 years ago and no one is talking about it. I will though because this deserves the spotlight and what we need to do going forward. I want to share some frightening statistics on the decline of childhood development, reading and math scores, social decline issues, and much more we need to be a lot more cognizant of.

The FDA has failed us at every turn recently and it's time you know the truth. I'm not going to stop exposing the truth and the change will have to come from us. I'm going to share how the FDA has failed us in enforcing science and what that means for you and your health.

Taking a minor break from ruffling the f*cking cages and feathers of what we call modern society these days and I wanted to talk about something a bit more conventional but important nevertheless and that is sleep. I have a multitude of studies for you to do your own research as I want to present this topic as clear cut as possible.
