    Stop the Stimulation Noise, Down Regulate Your Nervous System & Get Quiet with Elaine Glass MLC

    Stop the Stimulation Noise, Down Regulate Your Nervous System & Get Quiet with Elaine Glass MLC

    Rest, relax, listen, less, be. Sounds simple, yet it’s not. In this modern plugged in, digital day so many of us our stuck in rush, push, argue, more and do. But where are we rushing to? What are we pushing for? Why are we doing what we do? When I ask people those why and who questions, you know what I get back? Silence. Ironically so because the answer to those fundamentally important questions are exactly there - in the silence and in the quiet.

    Elaine Glass is a visionary author and highly experienced Master Life Coach renowned for her transformative retreats tailored for women navigating intricate midlife transitions. She has a new book release on April 30th called “GET QUIET- 7 Simple Paths to the Truth Of Who You Are”. Guided by her mission of helping people live their BEST life, she trusts her unique approach - "The Get Quiet Way" - to be the roadmap of discovery people need to find their inner treasures and bringing them fully up to the surface and out into the world.

    Join us as we explore:

    How the power of quiet is the spark we need to be healthy in the midst of a world saturated with sickness, and how the first step would be to find your labyrinth.

    How the speed of technology is over stimulating the human nervous system and leaving us disconnected and disease prone.

    The 7 paths to getting quiet and finding yourself.

    Why “getting quiet” permits us to hear our truest purpose and start living our authenticity and mission.

    Why therapy may not be the first step in a healing journey because what you may need is often so much simpler.

    Where in the human body Elaine has found people carry most of their pain and disappointment, and how to shift it.

    Fatty Liver Disease: 33% of Global Adults Suffer With This. BUT it is Reversible with Dietary and Lifestyle Changes! Dr Hanouneh MD & Kirkpatrick MS RDN

    Fatty Liver Disease: 33% of Global Adults Suffer With This. BUT it is Reversible with Dietary and Lifestyle Changes! Dr Hanouneh MD & Kirkpatrick MS RDN

    Whether NAFLD or MASLD, the facts remain the same - livers are sicker than they’ve ever been. And the reason why is the crux of this episode. It’s not the ills of old like hepatitis or alcohol that’s actually why the majority of liver transplants are done - it’s fatty livers. And the saddest part - fatty liver disease is a completely avoidable and reversable disease that requires no more than the basics of eating well, sleeping well and moving our body enough.

    Kristin Kirkpatrick is the President of KAK, Consulting, LLC, a dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic Dept of Department of Wellness & Preventive Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio, and a Senior Fellow at the Meadows Behavioral Healthcare in Wickenburg, Arizona. She is a best-selling author, an experienced presenter, and an award-winning Dietitian. She is the co-author of “Skinny Liver”, and the co-author of her newest book “Regenerative Health: Discover Your Metabolic Type and Renew Your Liver For Life”.

    Dr. Ibrahim Hanouneh completed his internal medicine residency and gastroenterology and hepatology fellowship training at the Cleveland Clinic, before moving in 2015 to Minnesota to join MNGI Digestive Health on the board of directors. Dr. Hanouneh has spent a great deal of time in liver disease. He has a passion for studies related to fatty liver. He co-authored the “Regenerative Health” book, and the "Skinny Liver" book. He has presented at several national and international meetings and has been an author on over seventy papers as well as numerous abstracts.

    Join us as we explore:

    NAFLD and MASLD - why did the name change, the number one drivers of fatty liver disease, signs and symptoms to watch out for, and the most important remediations.

    Why fatty liver is the forgotten disease, and why catching it early improves odds of reversal significantly.

    Why seeing children as young as 8 years old led Kristin to approach fatty liver lifestyle changes through a family lens.

    The connection between fatty liver and liver cancer.

    Why it’s not only about BMI and waist circumference, it’s about your unique metabolic type.

    The interesting dietary concept of competition for digestion.

    Toxic Superfoods. Oxalates and Nutritional Myths, and Why You Need to Stop Your Spinach and Kale. Sally Norton MPH

    So nice, I had to do it twice. Or rather - so down beat, I had to do a repeat.  I have done back to back episodes on the anti-nutrients in our food, especially the nasty nature of oxalates, because the topic is hugely unknown of. This was a truly mind-opening episode with Sally Norton. I saw so many interrelated health problems that may have oxalates as their root cause.

    This is a wow episode, do not miss it.

    Sally K. Norton is an expert in the art and science of healthy eating and healthy living. She received her degree in Nutrition from Cornell University and her Masters degree in Public Health from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Throughout her long career as a health and nutrition educator.

    Sally’s interest and expertise in dietary oxalates originated from personal experience in healing pain and fatigue for herself and many clients. She is the author of “Toxic Superfoods: Learn How Oxalate Overload is Making You Sick—and How to Get Better”.

    Join us as we explore:

    Why so many healthy or even superfoods are in fact not healthy and are full of an unknown compound called oxalates that are in fact a toxic compound that in the past was used to bleach leather and remove rust.

    What foods to avoid if you suspect you may be oxalate overloaded - this list is shocking!

    How we are getting osteoporosis all wrong!

    How we are getting juicing all wrong!

    The 3 most powerful steps you can take today to counteract oxalate overload.

    Eating For Your Genes. Amyloids, Histamine, & Oxalates. Nutritional Gems That You’ve Never Heard of. Teri Cochrane: The Wildatarian Diet

    Eating For Your Genes. Amyloids, Histamine, & Oxalates. Nutritional Gems That You’ve Never Heard of. Teri Cochrane: The Wildatarian Diet

    Protein, carbs or fat? That’s what 99% of us are thinking about when it comes to food. But there is so much more to food, and that is what this episode is all about. Is your food nutritious? That’s what we wonder, but are we asking if it’s anti-nutritious!? A true pain to purpose story is why Teri Cochrane is on the show today sharing the science about food you have never heard of!

    Teri Cochrane is the founder of Teri Cochrane - Beyond Nutrition, an international thought leader in longevity and a pioneer in personalized wellness. A mother of two, an entrepreneur and, some say, a spiritual scientist, over decades of clinical work and unprecedented client results, Teri has developed my own approach to integrative health that focuses on the ever-shifting needs of the individual.

     Her patented practitioner model, The Cochrane Method®, examines the intersection of genetic tendencies, energy, and current state of health and speaks the motto - whatever your condition, we will figure you out - simply & elegantly.

    A health crises with her children led to the development of The Wildatarian® Diet, and then the creation of a gene-smart supplements range. She works with clients globally from athletes to top doctors and anyone wanting her skills as a medical intuitive to help maximize their human potential.

    Join us as we explore:

    The four big nutrition hijackers! Is your nutrition being stolen from you? Dimensions of food you have probably not paid any attention to.

    How a significant health crisis of her 3 year old and the failed attempts with traditional medicine was the catalyst to Teri Cochrane figuring out the food her son was eating was “poison”.

    Why your genetics truly are at the foundation of your eating plan.

    Reversing MS, MAST, Hashimoto’s and more. And when you hear Teri tell these stories, you will believe it.

    Have we gone KETO crazy?!? Teri thinks so.

    The Hundred Monkey syndrome and what that means to the food supply chain.

    It keeps coming up over and over again. It’s the reason why after a lifetime of eating it I cannot eat garlic anymore.

    Cancer, Holistic Oncology, The Cancer Diet & Detox. Dr Katie Deming: The Conscious Oncologist

    Cancer, Holistic Oncology, The Cancer Diet & Detox. Dr Katie Deming: The Conscious Oncologist

    This episode about cancer is a game-changer. 99% of anyone who listens to this will encounter concepts around cancer they have never heard before. Not only does Dr Katie Deming throw ideas about cancer being a genetic disease well and truly into the dustbin, she is putting forth a cancer ideology that breaks every medical mold. And that’s why I loved this episode.

    Dr. Katie Deming is a holistic oncologist approaching the treatment of cancer from an integrative perspective.  In 2020, the height of her career in oncology, Dr Deming had an event similar to a near-death experience that changed everything, leading her to leaving traditional oncology.

    Although she recognized the value of traditional cancer treatments such as radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery, Dr Deming then realized that there was so much more that patients needed to cure their cancer and become well.

    She then spent the next several years researching the underlying causes of cancer, studying the conditions that facilitate healing in the body, learning what it means to become truly well and using her expertise to help patients bridge the world between conventional cancer therapies and healing on a deeper level.

    Join us as we explore:

    How the story of a river and a village changed Dr Deming’s perspective about cancer, traditional oncology and her shift to becoming an integrative, conscious oncologist.

    Is cancer actually a metabolic disease? Is it a disease about our body water!?

    A cancer doctor advising people to expose their skin to the sun without sunblock? Yes, you heard that right.

    A cancer fighting diet that is not about keto or paleo or vegan but electrical charge!

    Why detoxing is at the crux of cancer, from prevention to healing.

    The role of exercise and movement in cancer, and how specific personalities hold emotional frequencies that could be cancer causing.

    The Testosterone Crisis for Men and Women. TRT, Viagra, Peptides, & Testosterone Biohacks that Optimize Performance

    The Testosterone Crisis for Men and Women. TRT, Viagra, Peptides, & Testosterone Biohacks that Optimize Performance

    People don’t want to believe it but men are in trouble. From college and university attendance to suicide and friendship, the men are not alright. Why? Well, there is no one single answer but I suspect a significant cause underlying men’s ills is because they don’t have the testosterone they need.

    So that’s what today’s episode is about with Dr Tracy Gapin - testosterone, why it’s declining, why it’s so destructive and what you can do about it.

    Dr. Tracy Gapin is a board-certified urologist with 25 years of experience as a men’s health & performance expert. He is the founder and CEO of the Gapin Institute, the global leader in Precision Medicine.

    His passion and expertise is providing entrepreneurs, executives and athletes a personalized path to optimize their health and performance and fulfill their highest potential.

    Dr Gapin is also the best selling author of “Male 2.0” and “Codes of Longevity”, a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging (A4M), Age Management Medical Group (AMMG) and International Peptide Society, and creator of the proprietary G1 Health Program.

    Join us as we explore:

    The war men are losing against testosterone decline, fertility and sperm count. It is absolutely frightening yet people are complacent. Why? The answer is truly insightful.

    Why low testosterone itself IS NOT the actual problem. That’s right - it’s a symptom! And why a shot of TRT and a viagra is NOT sufficient.

    How one testosterone study in 1941 led to misguided prostate cancer treatment for more than 70 years!

    The number one reason Dr Tracy believes testosterone is in free fall, why “normal” testosterone is NOT optimal testosterone and why you should measure your testosterone today.

    Why testosterone is not only about your muscles - it’s about your brain and mental performance!

    And why testosterone is not only important for men but as important for women too!

Dr.zeek ,

Testosterone Show is BRILLIANT

The podcast with Dr Gapin (sp?) is THE BEST I have ever heard on the topic of testosterone.

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

First time listener of this show after listening to dozens of others (all the usual names - Huberman, Williamson, Bartlett etc.)

Fred Roed ,

Great show for hacking one’s health!

This is a fantastic listen. Steve is empathetic, sincere and knowledgeable. Steve covers a broad range of subjects, and he really cares about his topics. The interviewer honours his guests by doing necessary research and Steve really does knows the subject. Steve also allows his guests to speak without interrupting, which is rare these days. The show notes contain loads of information and helpful links. I have subscribed to the show and look forward to listening to more episodes in the future.
