Chances are high that when you hear the word “omega-3”, you think of fish. This is completely understandable, as fish is one of the best sources of this essential fatty acid. But why do we need it? And what is it? Why does it have a Greek letter in the name? Maybe you’re wondering what to do if you don’t eat fish?

Omega-3s are absolutely vital to our health, with benefits ranging from heart health to cognitive function and so much more. In this episode, we dive into the science of omega-3s, how they differ from other fats, their benefits, and how to increase your omega-3 levels.

Join me as I sit down with Kristina Jackson, director of research at OmegaQuant, as we shed some light on this particular fat and explain what makes it so special.

Cholesterol. This word may spark a twinge inside of you for a variety of reasons. Maybe your doctor told you your cholesterol is high, maybe your immediate family has high cholesterol, maybe you grew up in the era that unnecessarily demonized fat and cholesterol. Well, here’s something you might find surprising…we NEED cholesterol. And even crazier, our bodies MAKE cholesterol! If this is news to you, you’re not alone. There is such a thing as too much cholesterol, and that can in fact increase your risk for certain medical conditions. But the progression of disease almost always involves many diet, genetic, and lifestyle factors, not just one.

Our episode today is focused on reducing the fear around cholesterol by explaining what it is and offering some practical tips to keep cholesterol in a healthy range. To complete this task, I’ve brought on the founder of Step One Foods and cardiologist, Elizabeth Klodas, to offer her wisdom on the topic.

The past 3 years have brought about significant changes in the way we view health and where we spend our money. The combination of “social distancing” and an increased awareness on illness prevention have led Americans to spend more on individual, isolated health products than ever before. For example, dietary supplement sales increased by a whopping 44% in the six weeks preceding April 5th, 2020, that’s a massive jump! While supplements definitely have their place, we are losing the big picture of what it means to be “healthy” and isolating the different areas of our wellness.

Today’s guest has made it his mission to combat this trend and is encouraging people to think about all areas of their health span working together, instead of working in isolation. Join us as author, CEO, and speaker Andrew McConnell shares his wisdom on the isolation epidemic and how we can increase our health span using 5 distinct pillars.

We’ve all heard of circadian rhythms. The 24-hour cycle that dictates everything from body temperature, to sleep, to digestion. But mother nature is extremely complex and precise, so of course there must be other regular rhythms and patterns that exist. One of these rhythms you may not have heard of before is the infradian rhythm. This rhythm is reflected in plenty of different examples in nature, including humans, particularly in the female menstrual cycle.

There are certain habits that have the potential to disrupt the natural state of hormones and the infradian rhythm. When one or both of these is out of alignment, the whole system can be affected, resulting in a cascade of negative side effects. To help us understand this further, I’ve brought on the amazing Kasia Stiggelbout, host of the Nourish podcast. Kasia shares her personal story, some potential causes of misalignment, and what can be done to resolve it.

I am not a parent. However, I work with plenty of clients who ARE parents, and we frequently discuss the challenges they face feeding not only themselves, but also their children. Raising a human is hard, the best way to feed them and in what amounts is just one layer of that onion. If you’re fortunate enough to have access to food basically 24/7, how are you supposed to know what to keep stocked in the house? Especially when we live in a time where younger and younger kids have the behemoth that is the internet flooding their moldable minds?

 

To help us tackle some of these hard questions, I’ve brought on author, nutrition expert, and mother, Frances Largeman-Roth. We discuss her own experiences as a mother, her “Food Philosophy” she uses with her family, and some tips for all you parents out there who might be trying to tackle these questions.

The pharmaceutical industry as we know it today didn’t come around until the second half of the 19th century. Before that, humans were mainly relying on mother nature’s bounty of nutrients to help with different ailments and remain as healthy as possible. Of course, the progression of modern science and pharmacy has saved countless lives and definitely has its place, but its important to remember that humans have developed using what the Earth naturally has to offer. The consumption of whole, unprocessed foods is constantly being studied for its benefits on humans as well as the specific study of certain foods and their affects on different medical conditions.

This is where our guest for today comes in. I’ve brought on Moreyah to give her own personal health story and provide us with some natural remedies she recommends for her clients based on a variety of health issues. And before we begin, I’d like to add its always important to consult your doctor before beginning any new health or fitness regimen.
