What's The Juice Olivia Amitrano

Hello and welcome to the final episode of season 3 of What's the Juice podcast. What better way to complete the season than with my favorite type of episode: “Ask An Herbalist”. I love these call-in episodes because I get to talk human-to-human with you guys and help answer the questions that are top of mind within our Organic Olivia community. This week, your questions span from how to manage chronic physical pain, to how to deal with jealousy, to how to change the subconscious mind. I did my best to give as many tangible tips, resources, and perspective shifts as I possibly could in an hour-long episode so I hope my personal experience helps you in some capacity. I also want to take a moment to reflect on how amazed I am by this community. This show would not be the same without your thoughtful questions and your commitment to self-growth. It’s an honor to be part of your healing journey. Thank you for trusting me with your questions and for turning in every week to support the show. We have some incredible guests lined up for season 4, so, until next season, Stay Juicy!

In this next episode of What’s the Juice, I had the opportunity to chat with the amazing Dr. Neeta Bhushan — former cosmetic dentist turned mental health coach, social entrepreneur, international speaker, and best-selling author behind the new book That Sucked. Now What? Before you tune in, I’ll let you know this — Neeta’s life has not been an easy one. She lost three immediate family members within the span of just three years, completely altering her life’s trajectory. Neeta later found herself stuck in an incredibly toxic marriage, resulting in a major wake-up call and healing journey that would redefine her life as she knew it. Our conversation is jam-packed with essential nuggets of information, like how imperative it is to find joy wherever you can, and a brief introduction to what’s known as the “Bounce Factor,” a four-step tool to determine your resiliency:
Examining your upbringing. Leaning into “good” stress and doing what challenges/scares you. Emotional capacity — i.e. your ability to “feel the feels.” Radical self-awareness — i.e. your ability to tune into your life and see what’s going well or not going well.  Press play now and let me know what you think via IG:

In this episode of What’s the Juice, I had the honor of chatting with brain-genius Louisa Nicola, Founder & Director of Neuro Athletics: a data-driven neuroscience company that provides athletes with scientific strategies to achieve peak performance. Tune in as we delve into the nitty gritty science of how the brain works, and what you can do specifically from home to optimize neuroplasticity and cognition, including:
SLEEP
Minimum 8 hours each night, following the 80% rule Natural sunlight as soon as you wake up, for at least 5 minutes Avoiding and/or dimming artificial light come evening Pitch-black environment for optimal sleep AEROBIC EXERCISE
Zone 2 Training — achieve about 65% of your maximum heart rate For example: Walk an incline of ~8-10 around a speed of 3.8 mph for around 30 minutes ANAEROBIC EXERCISE
Focus on 70% of your 1-repetition max (find the maximum weight you can handle for 1 rep, then use 70% of that weight for at least 6 sets/4 reps each) Learn how to squat well and focus on compound movements Invest in a trainer over supplements STRESS
Inhale twice, then exhale (this mimics crying/hyperventilation) Infrared light to reduce neural inflammation Ice baths to create new mitochondria  Two grams of both EPA and DHA daily Use code ROSEHIP10 for 10% off your first order of rosehip relief on organicolivia.com

Today's guest, who has been my doctor for the last almost 6 years - is a physician with a passion for nutritional science and “muscle centric medicine” that has dedicated her life to helping ALL of us understand the importance of dietary protein.

She's going to cover:
✔️How muscle improves metabolic markers relevant to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and PCOS - because skeletal muscle is our primary site for disposing of the glucose aka carbohydrates we eat in our diets (and if we don't have muscle, there's nowhere for it to go!),
✔️How this ties into the picture of preventing or delaying Alzheimer's, which is often called "type 3 diabetes of the brain"
✔️Why Alzheimer's starts 20+ years before it actually presents and is a disease of mid-life, not old age (plus what to do now in your 20s, 30s and 40s)
✔️Why muscle is an endocrine organ that just as important as your thyroid, and produces biochemistry-altering compounds just like the thyroid produces hormones!
✔️How muscle is essentially alive, and is a nutrient sensing organ - it quite literally senses the amino acids we consume via diet, and how this sensitivity decreases as we age
✔️What protein threshold per meal you need to build muscle
✔️The difference between plant and animal protein in terms of amino acid quality
✔️Why leucine is the most important amino acid and why we need more as we age
✔️How much protein you should be eating based on your body weight
✔️How hormone changes and menopauses affect this picture
✔️Why body composition matters and how excess adipose tissue affects the brain
✔️And EXACTLY what you can start doing TODAY to become healthier, sharper, and hormonally optimized as you age.

This season of the podcast, I’ve been working to define vitality and well-being through a framework I call the “10 Pillars of Health.” While many health experts boast a profound sense of knowledge in one or two pillars specifically, my next guest — the acclaimed Dr. Kara Fitzgerald — is incredibly well-versed in all 10. 
Dr. Fitzgerald’s latest book, “Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better,” explores the science behind longevity and her discovery of a three-year reversal of biological aging, so you know I had to get the deets. In this revelatory conversation, we cover how the following can actually hack your epigenome: 
Methyl-donor nutrients (found in whole foods like beets, eggs, leafy greens, mushrooms, seeds, etc.) Methylation adaptogens (quercetin, circumin, resveratrol, green tea, etc.) Exercise Sleep Oxytocin release  And more. As always, tune into the episode to dive deeper into these essential nuggets of information. And be sure to share your thoughts with me on IG: @shoporganicolivia.
