    About this Episode

    One of the most common health issues I get asked about are thyroid problems. More and more people have heard of the thyroid, and how it can impact weight, energy levels, and having an increased sensitivity to the cold.

    But it’s rare to find someone who really knows what the thyroid is and what it does.

    That’s why this week I decided to re-release a podcast from last summer, where I delved into the details of this organ and what it means to have a thyroid imbalance. Even in the medical community, there are doctors who misdiagnose or mistreat thyroid conditions.

     

    I am always delighted to share my insights, clarify the role of the thyroid gland, and look at many of the common misconceptions. I think it’s important to understand the lab values associated with properly diagnosing thyroid issues. Only once we understand all of these can we take a deeper dive and assess thyroid imbalances and talk about next steps.

    Ep151: Who’s the Medical Medium?

    Ep151: Who’s the Medical Medium?

    You are going to find today’s podcast fascinating if not a bit “out there.” That is what I first thought when I was introduced to the teachings and principles behind the Medical Medium, Anthony William. While you might not recognize the name, he is the mastermind behind the celery juice craze that took America by storm many years ago.

    Today I got to talk to Dr. Sherri Greene, a restorative medicine practitioner who is a Medical Medium practicing doctor.  

    If you want to know more about what and who the Medical Medium is, take a listen. More importantly, if you are out there suffering from an illness or serious medical condition, you are going to want to hear what Dr. Sherri has to say about it all.

    We cover so many topics and I just can’t say enough about Dr. Sherri's vast knowledge about this work and how it’s healed millions of people around the globe.

    Be sure to tune in for a memorable conversation.

    Ep150: The Tools To Reawaken Your Authentic Self

    Ep150: The Tools To Reawaken Your Authentic Self

    I just loved my conversation with Dr. Tamy Faireman. Dr. Tamy, a former plastic and reconstructive surgeon for over 25 years now refers to herself as a SOUL surgeon, which could not be more fitting for the work she has become so passionate about.

    We had an amazing discussion about mindfulness and what that means and how we go about “getting” there.  We talked about so much including how she now supports women in a very different and powerful way.

    We hear so much about mindfulness and since the pandemic, the term gets thrown around endlessly. But do you find time to cultivate and explore this?  If you are feeling as though you want more out of life, if you feel stuck, if you feel defeated or perhaps out of balance, then you will want to listen to this podcast. Dr. Tamy has an absolutely wonderful way about her and I know that you will love listening

    Ep145: How To Pick The Right Foods For Your Body

    Have you found that you are more confused than ever about what to eat and how to achieve optimal health?

    Never has there been a time where knowing what to eat and how to take care of your health and wellbeing was more baffling than it is now.

    In a time of never ending influencers, misleading research and  corporate agendas, it’s no wonder we are lost in a sea of uncertainty.

    Today I had the privilege of speaking with Nikalus Gustafson,author and host of the Hungry for Change Podcast.  As a self proclaimed social influencer and creator,  Niklaus is among the few individuals that have no true underlying agenda around educating people about how to pay attention to their health and focus on what feels good to them.

    While Nikalus studied nutrition in school, and continues to dive into the research in many areas, he does say that he is not an expert in this field. Take a listen to hear what his motivation is in providing the information he shares and how and why he keeps doing it!

    Ep142: Immune Course

    Ever since my cancer journey, I have  been fascinated by the immune system. The more I learn, the more intrigued I become.  I had the good fortune of attending Stacy Seslowsky’s immune course this past fall, and I found the information invaluable. Both on a personal and professional level.

    I was thrilled to be able to interview Stacy and have a discussion all about the importance of balancing our immune system and why keeping it in check is crucial to our health and longevity.

    Did you know our metabolism is directly connected to our immune system?

    Did you know that intermittent fasting is connected to our immune system?

    Did you know that your gut health is connected to your immune system?
