    Cancer-Free and Thriving: Jenn's Alternative Cancer Treatment Journey

    Cancer-Free and Thriving: Jenn's Alternative Cancer Treatment Journey

    What does an integrative approach to cancer look like? Jenn shares the physical, mental, and spiritual steps she took to heal.

    In 2015, Jenn was diagnosed with breast cancer – and by that point, it had already metastasized to multiple parts of her body. Her lymph nodes were the size of golf balls.

    It’s a terrifying diagnosis for anyone, but all the more so as she thought of her four small children.

    Jenn lived near excellent cancer treatment centers and got multiple opinions – all pointing her to the standard of care for this type of diagnosis: surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy.

    Despite it all, her intuition strongly told her that wasn’t the right path for her. She ultimately decided to proceed with holistic approaches and only the minimal amount of surgery necessary.

    And in time, Jenn cleared her body of cancer and is living a vibrant life today.

    In our conversation, you’ll hear…

    • The details of the holistic path that Jenn took, including the therapies she used.
    • Why she followed a low-carb, keto diet.
    • How meditation played a major role in navigating decisions and healing
    • How you can tap into what Jenn calls your inner guru for guidance
    • How her health crisis inspired a shift away from her longtime, demanding banking career
    • And what plant stem cells are and their role in Jenn’s healing. You can find links to learn more about plant stem cells in the show notes.

    Jennifer Payeur is a passionate advocate for the healing power of nature. After experiencing a life-threatening health issue, she left a 29-year career as an executive in Financial Services. She embarked on a journey of self-discovery, reconnecting with the inherent healing properties of plants.

    In 2019, she founded Nature Provides, an innovative plant stem cell company. Her mission is to educate and empower others on how these unique plant remedies detoxify, strengthen and rejuvenate the cells in the body, bringing vibrant health to the individual.

    No matter what health challenges you might be facing, there’s rich wisdom in Jenn’s story. So much of it is about tuning in to intuition and slowing down.

    The Answer to Halting Chronic Pain – After Nothing Else Worked

    The Answer to Halting Chronic Pain – After Nothing Else Worked

    How did one woman end chronic pain, migraines, fatigue, hormone imbalances and other symptoms – without costly therapies, surgery, or medications?

    For Allison Samon, the answer was surprisingly simple: nutrition.

    For 10 years, it felt like she had tried everything and seen every type of practitioner. Then, one of them asked her what she had for breakfast that day. That question would change her life.

    In this episode, we’re talking about Allison’s powerful personal health turnaround and what I believe is the most underrated, underestimated approach to avoiding and also reversing illness - food.

    You’ll hear what worked for Allison and her advice now as a Certified Holistic Health Coach and Functional Nutritionist.

    In our conversation, you'll hear about…

    ·       What did and didn’t work for Allison’s chronic pain

    ·       How she finally found a solution that ended the pain and other symptoms

    ·       Why what she thought was a healthy breakfast actually wasn’t

    ·       Why nutrition is so powerful in reducing the inflammation that causes pain

    ·       Some nutrition changes that tend to help most people

    ·       Why compromised digestion may affect your nutrient absorption

    ·       And her thoughts on types of nutrition and food sensitivity testing

    About Allison Samon

    Allison Samon is a Certified Holistic Health Coach and Functional Nutritionist who works virtually with people to get out of chronic illness, escape mystery symptoms and help them to re-design their lifestyle so they can be fit, energized and pain free in ways that are easy, fun and sustainable. She offers 1:1 coaching and group programs like her Chronic Illness Recovery Blueprint and the Reboot from Chronic Illness Cleanse. She’s also a co-author in the Amazon international best selling book, “Teach Your Expertise.” And her proudest accomplishment is becoming a first time Mom, naturally over 40 and inspiring other women to have successful, healthy pregnancies despite being considered “geriatric” by conventional standards. 

    No matter what health struggles you’re facing, I know you’ll get a ton out of this conversation. I’m excited for you to listen. And if you have feedback or want to continue the conversation, reach out to me or Allie.

    Mold Warrior: How Emily Broke Free from Mold Illness and 7+ Moldy Homes

    Mold Warrior: How Emily Broke Free from Mold Illness and 7+ Moldy Homes

    What are the symptoms of mold illness and how do you clear your body and home from mold?

    My guest, Dr. Emily Kiberd, shares her story of recovering from mold illness symptoms and navigating more than a dozen moldy homes.

    A chiropractor, Dr. Emily Kiberd never expected to add “mold specialist” to her list of qualifications.

    But then, she also never expected to find herself in at least seven moldy homes over the past 14 years, from New York City to Colorado.

    Across the years, she’s repeatedly seen mold-related symptoms arise in herself and her family. Each time, she’s had to take a multi-pronged approach to detox her body and either leave her home or remediate.

    Emily shared her journey and what she’s learned along the way about recovery, inspection, remediation, and more.

    In our conversation, you'll hear about…

    • Her journey of escaping mold across multiple homes in two states
    • The mold-triggered symptoms she experiences and the symptoms she sees in her kids
    • How Emily has addressed her own and her family’s mold symptoms
    • Other symptoms that may be linked to mold
    • How she’s addressed mold in various homes
    • How you might approach finding mold in your own home
    • Types of mold testing for your body and home
    • Ways to save money by starting with your own visual inspection and some tools to do this on your own
    • When to hire mold inspectors and remediators
    • What happens if you can’t find the source?
    • How to decide whether to stay or go if your home is moldy
    • How certain molds like certain types of materials and how to correlate that with your lab tests

    About Dr. Emily Kiberd

    Dr Emily Kiberd is a chiropractor of 16 years, mama to Elvis and Brooklyn, and founder of Thyroid Strong, the only doctor-designed strength program for the Hashi ladies to work out without burnout. Thyroid Strong marries the functional movement workouts with functional medicine to heal Hashimoto’s symptoms.

     

    She put her own Hashimoto’s into remission with dietary changes, refinement in her exercise routine, and lifestyle changes, including addressing underlying environmental toxins. 

     

    She’s recovered from mold exposure numerous times and shares the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to mold detox, mold inspection, and remediation. She now helps her clients living with Hashimoto’s do the same to get rid of their brain fog and finally thrive.

    Thriving with MS: Insights from the Author of “Beating Multiple Sclerosis”

    Thriving with MS: Insights from the Author of “Beating Multiple Sclerosis”

    How did a New York mom transform her multiple sclerosis symptoms with lifestyle changes?

     

    In this episode of the Rebuilding My Health Radio podcast, Agota Nawroth shares her journey of significantly reducing the symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) through lifestyle changes and a mindset. And as a recent author of the book, Beating Multiple Sclerosis, she offers insights into some of the ways that others are also healing MS.

     

    In this episode, you’ll hear…

    1. Agota's journey from a life-altering multiple sclerosis diagnosis to a life filled with hope and vitality.

    2. The dietary changes that became a cornerstone of Agota's wellness plan and dramatically improved her MS symptoms.

    3. The game-changing steps she took to minimize her MS symptoms.

    4. The transformative power of a positive mindset and how Agota cultivated resilience.

    5. The importance of listening to your body and responding accordingly.

    6. How Agota's inspiring journey led her to write a book and become a beacon of hope for those seeking to take control of their health and well-being.

     

    About Agota Nawroth

    Agota Nawroth is a devoted mother, a certified health coach, and someone who has faced the unique challenges of living with multiple sclerosis (MS). She is also the author and publisher of the enlightening book “Beating Multiple Sclerosis,” which not only shares her own journey but also chronicles the stories of dozens of others who are conquering this disease. She is the founder of www.BeatingMultipleSclerosis.com, an online community committed to healing. You can find her on Instagram and YouTube at @BeatingMyMS.

     

    Agota's MS Journey: A Life-Changing Diagnosis

    Agota's journey with MS began in March 2019, a life-altering moment that turned her world upside down. “I was diagnosed in 2019, and now, looking back, I feel like I'm a different person,” she says. “So many things have changed in my life, and I think I can say the same for anyone diagnosed with a disease like multiple sclerosis."

     

    In those early days, she turned to Instagram as a way to document her journey, share her experiences, and find hope. Her platform, now known as "Beating My MS," quickly evolved into a source of inspiration and education for others battling MS.

     

    A Life Unraveled: The Sudden Onset of MS

    Agota's MS diagnosis came seemingly out of the blue. She had recently returned from her honeymoon and was eagerly preparing to start a family. Her initial symptoms were anxiety and unexplained depression, making it difficult to identify the impending storm. It wasn't long before she experienced numbness in her forehead and hearing loss in her left ear.

     

    At first, Agota attributed these symptoms to various factors such as altitude or the recent plane ride after a trip to Colorado.

     

    Her search led her through various doctors, including an ear specialist who couldn't find any definitive answers. Concerned that her symptoms could be connected to her brain, she asked for an MRI.

     

    When the MRI results came in, Agota received a call urging her to see a neurologist immediately, as she might have multiple sclerosis. 

     

    Agota's initial reaction was to turn to the internet, where she encountered a flood of information, some of which painted a grim picture of disability.

    She confided, "I don't know, I just felt like my life was collapsing. That day, I couldn't stop crying."

     

    A Determined Approach: Transforming Mindset and Lifestyle

    In the face of this daunting diagnosis, Agota decided to take matters into her own hands. As she learned more about MS, she discovered that diet and lifestyle play pivotal roles in managing the condition.

     

    She decided to start her journey to wellness by changing her diet and quickly realized the connection between her diet and her MS symptoms.

     

    She noted, "I was feeling better once I started eating better. Every time I was eating pizza or gluten, like anything that contains gluten, I was feeling face numbness. So those were signs that I was listening to."

     

    Initially, she began with dietary changes, eliminating gluten, dairy, refined sugar, and other potentially inflammatory foods. She focused on incorporating more fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins into her daily meals. This shift in her diet brought noticeable improvements in her health.

     

    Beyond diet changes, she explored meditation as a means of reducing stress and promoting mental well-being. She admitted that, at first, meditation was a struggle, but she persevered, and it has now become a daily practice that brings peace and clarity to her life.

     

    Agota also made the transition from intense workouts to gentler forms of exercise, such as yoga and walking, which were kinder to her body and helped her stay active while managing her condition.

     

    Sharing the Journey: Building a Supportive Community

    As Agota implemented these lifestyle changes and embraced a proactive mindset, she felt compelled to share her journey with others who were going through similar challenges.

     

    On Instagram, where she inspires tens of thousands of others with MS, Agota's posts are filled with inspiring interviews and insights. Over time, Agota's platform has grown into a beacon of hope, proving that lifestyle changes and a resilient mindset can significantly improve the quality of life for those with MS.

     

    Recently, Agota published a collection of inspiring MS success stories in Beating Multiple Sclerosis. It serves as a valuable resource and source of inspiring for those with MS and other chronic health conditions.

     

    Agota's remarkable transformation through lifestyle changes and an unwavering positive mindset is a testament to the potential within us all.

    Beyond Remission: An MD on Healing from Crohn's Disease

    Beyond Remission: An MD on Healing from Crohn's Disease

    In this episode of the Rebuilding My Health Radio podcast, Dr. Selvi Rengasami shares her journey of reaching remission and beyond from Crohn's disease. Since childhood, she had endured difficult digestive symptoms. But once she was in a stressful college environment, it soon advanced to Crohn’s disease.

     

    As she pursued her own lifelong dream of becoming a physician, she grappled with accepting and managing what would become a debilitating illness.

     

    In this episode, we discuss…

     

    • The challenging, and at times, life-threatening impact of Crohn’s on her health
    • Her experience with conventional Crohn’s treatment, including steroids and surgeries
    • Why this MD explored alternative approaches
    • How a paleo diet influenced her Crohn’s symptoms
    • The positive impact of acupuncture
    • Her mind-body approach to healing, including meditation, visualization, and inner child work
    • How she learned to listen to her body's signals and treat symptoms as invitations for deeper self-awareness
    • The importance of healing at the body’s own pace
    • How she reached remission from Crohn’s and beyond
    • Her advice for others on a healing journey

     

    Today, Dr. Selvi feels more alive, creative, and free than ever, and is helping others get there too. Dr. Selvi guides women with gut disease on the path to remission and beyond using her unique methodology of integrative nutrition, energetics and intuitive medicine. Having gone through her own personal journey with Crohn's disease and finding remission and beyond when western medicine failed her, Dr. Selvi's passion lies in sharing her wisdom and insights with women on a similar path. Her expertise and interests extend into the areas of rewiring mindset, energy healing and re-connecting women to their own intuitive guidance. Dr. Selvi lives in New York City and loves to dance, travel and explore in her free time.

     

    No matter what health challenges you may be facing, Dr. Selvi’s resilience will inspire you and her story will show the power of mind-body approaches, ways to look at your illness differently, and the importance of healing at your own pace.

    How I Ended Autoimmunity, Arthritis, Anxiety, and More

    How I Ended Autoimmunity, Arthritis, Anxiety, and More

    In this episode, I diverge from our typical format of interviewing others with health success stories. Instead, I’m sharing my personal health success story for eliminating autoimmunity, arthritis, anxiety, and more.

    I walk you through the “table legs” of what it took to rebuild my own health.

    In this episode, I discuss…

    • When my health crash hit and what that looked like
    • How I struggled with symptoms such as digestive issues, severe fatigue, anxiety, arthritis, inflammation, brain fog, and more
    • Why I turned to alternative health and a “root-cause” approach after trying conventional tactics
    • How diet changes affected my symptoms and gut health
    • The impact of addressing small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), Candida overgrowth, H. pylori, leaky gut, and dysbiosis
    • The role of clearing toxins and reducing toxin exposure
    • How mindset and mind-body practices mattered
    • What my health looks like today
    • And the types of practitioners who helped

     

    You’ll want to listen today if you’re dealing with any chronic or unresolved health issues.

     

    Find the episode home page.

     

     

    Practitioners I worked with:

     

    • Angela Privin of Do It Yourself Health, my gut-health coach
    • Dr. Jill Carnahan, a functional medicine MD, helped with gut health, hormone health, adrenals and some things that weigh me down such as lingering viral loads from past infections like Epstein Barr.
    • Sinclair Kennally and Michael Spandel of Detox Rejuvenation. They specialize in detox as a pathway to better gut health and overall health.
    • Dr. Robert Ray in Lafayette, Colorado for neurofeedback to help with balancing brain waves to reduce anxiety
    • Dr. Louise Swartswalter, who helped with energy and brain balancing and clearing past trauma

    How Meditation Brought Her Back from a Life-Altering Health Setback

    How Meditation Brought Her Back from a Life-Altering Health Setback

    Today I’m bringing you an inspiring story from a woman who found her way out of a life-altering health setback.

    After a series of major life stressors, Dr. Christine Smith saw her health unravel with injuries, hormone and skin issues, adrenal dysfunction, extreme food sensitivities and allergies, and mold toxicity.

    As a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner, she threw everything she knew of at the problem and sought help from her peers. But ultimately, to heal, she found she had to go inward and reach a sense of feeling safer in her body - with meditation.

    In this episode, we discuss…

    • How physical and emotional stressors compounded to gradually erode Dr. Christine’s health
    • How stress affected her digestion, hormones, adrenals, skin, and more
    • Why throwing more supplements at your body may not be the best avenue
    • How she used diet or food as a tool to control inflammation
    • How she realized that healing had to come from within
    • How meditation helped her feel safer in her body
    • Her experience with ketamine therapy for addressing trauma

    Dr. Christine Smith has focused her work on seeing the whole person through personalized, integrative healthcare and regularly works with other trusted providers to create holistic care plans. Her path has included many experiences outside the straight academic path, including working in different healthcare systems abroad, leading her to where she is today.

    As a Functional Medicine Practitioner and Doctor of Chiropractic with a background in Cognitive Neuroscience, she specializes in Holistic Injury Recovery and Chronic Inflammation Prevention to help active people come back stronger, uncover hidden injuries and prevent re-injury. She does this by teaching clients how to use recovery time as a gift to restructure lifestyle priorities, to learn to speak the language of their body through education rather than medication, and heal beyond the scars.

    Find her online and on YouTube.

    And find some of her meditations.

     

    Resources mentioned:

    Insight Timer (she likes Sarah Blondin)

    Dr. Joe Dispenza

    You’ll want to listen today if you’re dealing with any chronic or unresolved health issues.

     

    And just a reminder, this is the last episode before a short summer break. We’ll be back in August so stay tuned.

    Next-Level Healing by Clearing Parasites: Nicole’s Journey

    Next-Level Healing by Clearing Parasites: Nicole’s Journey

    If you have struggled with digestive challenges, skin issues, or anxiety, then you don’t want to miss today’s episode.

    I'm talking with Nicole Lavery, who finally solved three decades of health struggles via a natural route. Today, she’s talking specifically about parasites, which are a very common cause of digestive symptoms and a host of other symptoms.

    Nicole is a former ballerina turned writer and holistic wellness coach, based outside of Boulder, Colorado. After spending the better part of 3 decades battling IBS and a conventional health approach that left her without answers, she turned to functional medicine and Eastern methodologies – thus giving her the root cause answer she had been looking for: parasites. In addition to overcoming her gut challenges, Nicole also made the decision to have several preventive surgeries in 2021 and 2022 to offset her high risk (+45%) for breast and ovarian cancer, thus allowing her to take control of her health and related health anxiety that had dominated so much of her life previously. Hers is a story about digging in deeper to find answers, honing in on intuition, and leveraging a holistic approach in order to feel better - mind, body, and soul.

     

    In this episode, we discuss…

    • What Nicole’s early health struggles looked like
    • Her search for answers and how she found them outside of conventional medicine
    • The gut infections and dysbiosis behind her symptoms
    • How she uncovered and treated parasites
    • The link between parasites and mood
    • The parasite protocol that worked for her and her change in symptoms
    • And how Nicole navigated proactive medical decisions because of a family history of cancer

     

    You’ll take away fascinating insights on the role of parasites in Nicole’s journey and our overall health.

     

    You can find Nicole online, on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn.  

     

    Download Nicole’s free Parasites 101 Guide (use the password rebuildingmyhealth). It’s a brief yet comprehensive overview of how parasites might be at the root cause of your symptoms, along with helpful hints regarding cleansing and ongoing maintenance. 

     

    And be sure to schedule a complimentary 30-minute discovery call with Nicole to take the next steps to work through any existing gut health or stress management issues you may be facing.

    Oxalate Toxicity: The Unexpected Culprit Behind Pain, Digestive and Skin Issues

    Oxalate Toxicity: The Unexpected Culprit Behind Pain, Digestive and Skin Issues

    In this episode, I’m talking with Sally Aponte, who was finally on the road to recovery after diagnosing celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition where your body is not able to digest gluten, which is in so much of what we eat in the Western diet.

    Sally began a gluten-free diet and then later, a keto diet, and felt better for a while. But then, she started having a fresh set of health challenges to unravel. She ultimately discovered the cause behind it and has gone on to become an expert in this area.

    In this episode, we discuss…

    · How Sally finally linked digestive symptoms, hair loss, weakness, and skin issues to celiac disease

    · Why her symptoms and energy improved but then worsened again on a gluten-free diet and then a keto diet

    · The cause behind joint pain and new skin issues: oxalate toxicity

    · What oxalates are and some of the highest oxalate foods

    · Why a daily green smoothie may not be the healthiest option for everyone

    · The types of symptoms that might be linked to oxalate toxicity

    · How oxalates can contribute to kidney stones

    · The best type of testing for oxalate levels

    · Why it’s important to detox from oxalates slowly

    · And how oxalate buildup is not just about what you eat

    Sally’s experience inspired her to pursue alternative healing methods, which led her to become a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner. Sally Aponte is both a Physical Therapist Assistant and an FDN coach. Her mission is to empower individuals who suffer from chronic digestive problems and oxalate toxicity by providing them with the right tools and lifestyle choices needed to live a healthy life, free from disease, and enjoy their golden years to the fullest.

    How to find Sally:

    Breaking Free from Migraines: Dr. Doni Wilson’s Journey

    Breaking Free from Migraines: Dr. Doni Wilson’s Journey

    Welcome back to Rebuilding My Health Radio. It’s our 50th episode!

    Today I’m excited to bring you a really insightful interview with Dr. Doni Wilson, a naturopathic doctor and bestselling author whose latest book is “Master Your Stress, Reset Your Health.”

     

    For Dr. Doni, frequent and severe migraines began in her 20s. A single migraine could affect her for days. As she became a naturopathic doctor, she researched doggedly migraine causes and tried a slew of things that didn’t help. Finally, she found a combination of approaches that ended her migraines.

    In this episode, we discuss…

    • What worked and didn’t work for her in curtailing and ultimately stopping her migraines
    • What worked and didn’t work for her in curtailing and ultimately stopping her migraines
    • The dietary change that decreased her migraine frequency by half
    • Migraines relative to monthly cycles
    • The effect of stress on migraines
    • The genetic factors that increased her likelihood of migraines
    • How clearing toxins from her body and home further reduced migraines
    • How she calmed her nervous system and eliminated migraines for good with plant medicine (ayahuasca)
    • And how her search for her own answers helped her become a better doctor

    DR. DONI WILSON is a Naturopathic Doctor, certified professional midwife, certified nutrition specialist, and bestselling author of “Master Your Stress, Reset Your Health.”

    For more than 22 years, she has helped thousands of patients overcome health

    challenges and achieve wellness by using specific strategies that address the whole body and ultimately resolve the underlying causes of distress. Dr. Doni suffered from migraines for over 20 years, and in the process of solving them, she developed her Stress Recovery Protocol. Dr. Doni brings awareness to the impact of stress on our health and how it is possible to recover from burnout and become resilient to stress in the media and at public and professional events.

     

    You can find her blog, podcast, called How Humans Heal, and her Self C.A.R.E. program at http://www.DoctorDoni.com.

     

    You can also find Dr. Doni on Instagram and on Facebook.

     

    Check out Dr. Doni’s book, Master Your Stress, Reset Your Health: The Personalized Program to Calm Anxiety, Boost Anxiety and Beat Burnout. Dr. Doni Wilson shows that the key to breaking the cycle is finding and treating your unique stress type. After more than 20 years working with thousands of patients, Dr. Doni has found that people generally fall into one of five types based on their adrenaline and cortisol levels throughout the day.

    If you ever have migraines or even severe headaches, you don’t want to miss this episode. It’s packed with insights.

    How a Business Coach Engineered Her Way Back from Autoimmunity – and Her Stay-Healthy Strategy

    How a Business Coach Engineered Her Way Back from Autoimmunity – and Her Stay-Healthy Strategy

    Today I’m excited to bring you a really insightful interview with Kristin Thomas.

    No matter what health issue you might be facing, my guest shares the lifestyle approaches, self-care and boundaries that helped her heal and may just help you as well.

    Kristin Thomas is a Forbes-recognized top business coach with an inspiring health turnaround story. While she was working for fast-paced startups in her early 20s, lifelong gut issues became severe and led to an autoimmune diagnosis of ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease.

    After heavy duty medications failed to help, she eventually turned to a multi-layered lifestyle approach that stopped her symptoms and ultimately put her UC into remission.

    In this episode, we discuss…

    • The gut-health struggles that led to an autoimmune diagnosis of ulcerative colitis
    • The heavy-duty medications that failed to prevent flare-ups
    • Some of the conditions that accompanied UC for her, including anxiety and depression
    • The role of acupuncture and functional health coaching in her healing
    • The gut conditions she found behind her ulcerative colitis such as parasites, Candida and other bad bacteria
    • What a customized healing diet looked like for her
    • How she supported her body to heal, including addressing her adrenals and other hormones
    • How this driven woman learned to embrace self care – and build those habits into her schedule – to protect her health
    • The role of emotional healing
    • And how all this changed the course of Kristin’s career

     

    Kristin Thomas is the founder of Health & Wellness Business School and is a top marketing & business mentor to many of the leading experts in the health and wellness field. She’s been an entrepreneur for over 10 years: first she founded a sought-after marketing agency in the high tech industry, then after going through a multi-year journey with autoimmunity, she pivoted and started a highly successful functional health coaching practice focused on gut health, and now her work has come full circle where she mentors other top health practitioners to grow and scale their business for greater impact and income.


    Ultimately, her mission is to help make a measurable impact on today’s disease epidemic by giving her clients the industry-specific support and strategies they need to reach multiple more clients.

    Because of her extensive background and results, she’s been featured in publications including Forbes, Inc Magazine, Entrepreneur, Thrive Global, and more.

    You can find Kristin at https://www.healthwellnessbusiness.com/ and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/kristinelizabeththomas and on Instagram at @healthwellnessbusiness.

    Reversing Type 2 Diabetes: One Man’s Story

    Reversing Type 2 Diabetes: One Man’s Story

    Today I’m excited to bring you a unique episode with sister-brother due, Lori Balue and Mark Balue.

    I featured Lori in episode 37 for her dramatic health transformation. Previously, she had asthma, allergies, polycystic ovarian syndrome, infertility, brain fog, prediabetes (also known as insulin resistance) along with depression and anxiety, and she had been on a lifelong struggle to lose weight.

    Lori Balue ultimately went on to overhaul her health, primarily through lifestyle interventions. And now she’s aging adventurously and planning to celebrate her 60th birthday by hiking the Grand Canyon rim to rim – something she never could have done before. Her episode is my most popular, so check it out.

    Well, her transformation was a powerful inspiration for her older brother, who was struggling with his own very significant health challenges. At the time, Mark had pancreatitis, type 2 diabetes, was on cholesterol and blood pressure medication, and was well over 300 lbs. When the doctor wanted him to add insulin, that was the wake-up call he needed.

    Lori and Mark’s father had passed away in his 60s and so had another sister – and Mark felt he was on the same track.

    There are so many valuable insights in this episode.

    You’ll hear …

    • How his younger sister’s transformative health experience inspired Mark and how he worked with her to reverse type 2 diabetes
    • The lifestyle changes that Mark made to get his blood sugar under control, including swapping the standard American diet for a keto diet
    • The science behind the keto diet for reversing type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance
    • How Mark uses fasting for an extra boost
    • The exercise that works best for Mark
    • How finding food sensitivities contributed to his progress (for him, seemingly healthy foods like strawberries and peaches were a problem)
    • The gut dysbiosis and infections Mark had to address
    • The importance of mindset in making lifestyle changes
    • And how Mark is today, which is down to his goal weight of 175 lbs with dramatically improved diabetes numbers, off cholesterol medication and half the dosage of blood pressure medication (with his doctor’s blessing).

    He has effectively put his diabetes into remission.

    Mark Balue, 62, lives in Southern California. After returning from the Navy, he worked in Point Mugu, Antarctica, New Zealand, and Saudi Arabia for Lockheed before returning home and working the night shift for Lockheed, McDonald Douglas, and Boeing for 36 years in aircraft painting. A vacation with his family in 2020 made him realize that he wanted more out of life, leading him to reach out to his sister for help.

    The Mystery Illness that Hit a Health Entrepreneur

    Today I’m excited to bring you my conversation with Claire Rudolph. Claire was already the co-founder of the health startup WellTheory when she was hit with her own mystery illness and signs of autoimmunity. But Claire’s health really took a dive during the pandemic after she moved into a home that was later found to have toxic mold.

    Mold toxicity is, unfortunately, an increasingly hot topic.

    In this episode, we discuss…

    ·         The symptoms that led to uncovering autoimmunity and later mold toxicity for Claire

    ·         How Claire finally linked her symptoms to mold illness

    ·         The types of practitioners that were most helpful in her recovery

    ·         The key pieces of Claire’s treatment

    ·         The importance of lifestyle changes in Claire’s healing

    ·         The steps she took to heal her nervous system and limbic system

    ·         Some red flags for mold in homes, plus home testing

    ·         How Claire’s personal health experience influences her work at WellTheory

    ·         And Claire’s advice for others facing illness

    Linking Lifelong Health Struggles with Vitamin B12 Deficiency

    Linking Lifelong Health Struggles with Vitamin B12 Deficiency

    In this episode, I’m talking with Jamie Travathan about the power of addressing nutritional deficiencies, particularly vitamin B12.

     

    Jamie’s health story started as a child with digestive issues such as severe constipation and food sensitivities. In her 20s, she began having really irregular menstrual cycles. And oddly, it seemed like she was aging prematurely. Her hair was turning gray, she couldn’t think clearly and she lacked energy. At age 32, she could barely get out of bed.

     

    After seeing at least 10 conventional doctors, she began looking elsewhere for answers. She ultimately found she had pernicious anemia, an autoimmune condition that is one of the causes of vitamin B12 deficiency. Left untreated, it can cause serious neurological issues.

     

    In this episode, we discuss…

    - The gut dysbiosis Jamie found behind her digestive issues

    - What is pernicious anemia and the critical importance of vitamin B12

    - A vegetarian diet and pernicious anemia

    - How Jamie brought her B vitamin levels back up to healthy levels

    - The diet changes that helped Jamie heal her gut

    - The energetic, mental and physical causes of autoimmunity

    - The role of mindset in healing

    - And how the steps she took restored her gut, brain, energy and hormones

     

    Jamie’s health journey inspired her to become a health coach. She’s a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, a Certified Holistic Nutrition Consultant and an emotional Eating/Addiction Coach. With those credentials, she works as an Energetic, Mental and Physical Nutritionist + Mentor. Jamie helps her own clients one on one, and she mentors health and wellness practitioners who are seeking to transform their health by using a blend of science, nutrition, energy and archetypes. She uses a triad bio-individual approach to root cause healing that includes addressing our energetic, mental and physical health. 

    Jamie guides women who are experiencing gut pain, fuzzy brain and low energy to awaken their inner goddess and become fully confident in their bodies and soul’s wisdom.

     

    You can find her online at www.gut-goddess.com. And find Jamie on Instagram and Facebook at @thegutgoddess.

    Hashimoto’s, Hormones, and the Gut: An MD’s Unconventional Route Back to Health

    Hashimoto’s, Hormones, and the Gut: An MD’s Unconventional Route Back to Health

    In this episode, I’m talking with Dr. Farah Sultan, an MD who shares her personal health turnaround. In many ways, her story looks like what so many of us women experience: crushing fatigue, gut issues, weight gain, headaches, hair loss, skin issues, and more.

     

    Her OB/GYN said her symptoms were normal after having a baby and being a stressed-out medical resident, but her intuition told her otherwise. And like so many people we’ve interviewed, she was told her conventional lab tests looked normal.

     

    When she was able to get more extensive testing, she was ultimately diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and found underlying infections and food sensitivities.

     

    In the episode, we discuss…

    - The foundational steps she took to feel better and get her thyroid antibodies back to normal

    - How eliminating triggering foods reduced her inflammation and symptoms

    - The infections she had to address

    - The importance of reducing her exposure to toxins, including her mercury dental fillings

    - Why it’s critical to take bioidentical hormones versus synthetic hormones for hormone replacement therapy

    - And her tips for optimizing sleep so your body can heal

     

    Dr. Farah’s experience inspired her to change her approach to medicine. Dr Farah Sultan is a medical doctor, board certified in Family Medicine and Functional and Regenerative Medicine. She has trained and worked on three continents in India, the UK, and the US. She is the Founder of Vitalogy Wellness and Med-spa and the creator of the Mandala Method. She is an international award-winning speaker and expert in sleep and hormone balance and has helped thousands of women regain their sleep, energy, and youthfulness without the use of addictive prescription medications.
