While most listeners to this podcast have found ways to make changers in their lives in order to live in more earth-sustaining ways, how often do we pay attention to what we eat as a critical factor for an earthkeeping lifestyle? Think about the foods that made up the last meal you ate: Do you know where those foods came from? How they were produced? How those foods impacted your carbon footprint?  

In this episode, Forrest talks to nutritionist Leslie Aaron—a person who helps people answer such questions for a living. Leslie works to promote community nutrition in places all around the world. She and her husband Douglas also work as contractors with global nonprofits in disaster relief and have their own organization called Fulcrum Missions, which supports local churches and ministries through context-appropriate projects. In one of their most recent endeavors,  they’ve been working in Nicaragua  to set up aquaponics systems—an approach to farming both fish and vegetables in sustainable, environmentally sound ways.

Dr. Sheila Carroll, a board-certified pediatrician and certified life coach, discusses her transition from clinical medicine to helping parents and families navigate childhood obesity and promote healthy lifestyles. She emphasizes the importance of understanding emotional eating and finding natural pleasures as alternatives to unhealthy food choices. Dr. Carroll also provides practical advice on creating healthy shopping lists, reading food labels, and avoiding added sugars. She encourages parents to focus on health rather than weight when discussing these topics with their children and highlights the significance of unconditional love in promoting positive change.

• Understanding emotional eating and finding natural pleasures can help promote healthier food choices.
• Creating a healthy shopping list, with whole, real foods over processed foods and reading food labels can help reduce the consumption of added sugars.

• Unconditional love and acceptance from parents are crucial in supporting children's well-being and promoting healthy habits.
• Genetic factors can contribute to obesity, but lifestyle choices still play a significant role.

We are currently facing a public health crisis. In this episode, you'll hear the story of Andy Welsh, the ambitious founder of SRSLY Low Carb. After a wake-up call, he left the corporate world to enter the challenging world of health-focused entrepreneurship. 

Picture this: You're trying to offer healthier food options in a market that is dominated by six conglomerates producing ultra-processed food. Quite a challenge, right?  

 What's his secret weapon? It's listening to his customers. Their feedback and loyalty have been his guide and his driving force, reinforcing the power of customer-centric businesses. 

Key Takeaways

- Resilience is at the Heart of Entrepreneurship: Andy's experience reminds us that overcoming obstacles, such as personal financial risk and market resistance, requires a strong support system and an ability to adapt under pressure.

- The Power of Quality and Customer Loyalty: Prioritising product integrity and building close customer relationships can lead to organic growth and brand trust, often reducing the need for heavy marketing investment.

- Financial Literacy is Fundamental: The conversations underscore the essential need for entrepreneurs to understand their financials deeply. Money problems in business can't be ignored and must be managed proactively to ensure stability and growth.

Statistics show nearly 2 in 5 U.S. adults have high cholesterol, the excess of fat in the blood that can raise the risk of heart disease. For decades, people were told that foods high in cholesterol — eggs and butter, for example — were the major culprits. Now dietary cholesterol is thought to play only a minor role. So what are the real causes of high cholesterol, which lab results are most meaningful and what can you do to improve your numbers? In this episode, we talk to a preventive cardiologist about the revolutionary new thinking regarding cholesterol.

Expert: Dr. Khurram Nasir, Cardiologist

Interviewer: Todd Ackerman

Notable topics covered:

• The essential functions cholesterol serves in the human body
• How too much cholesterol sticks to the arteries and wreaks havoc
• Shocking statistics about people's lack of cholesterol awareness
• LDL, HDL, triglycerides: what they mean, how important each is
• Are high levels of so-called good cholesterol actually not good?
• How often is cholesterol a result of genetics? How much is under your control?
• New kid on the block: lipoprotein(a) as an emerging risk factor
• What are the best diets for keeping cholesterol in the desired range?
• The heart scan that tells whether you might not need cholesterol testing
• Statins: Should more people be on them? Can you ever get off them?

Most everyone knows acute inflammation, that short-lived redness and swelling that characterizes the healing process in response to injury or infection. But you may not be so familiar with chronic inflammation, a low-grade, insidious condition linked to the biggest killers of Western world, including heart disease, stroke, cancer and Alzheimer's disease. A constant state of immune system overactivity, chronic inflammation is all but invisible, meaning people typically don't know they have it until disease has developed. Are there telltale signs? And what can you do to prevent it? In this episode, we learn about the condition the World Health Organization ranks as the greatest threat to human health.

Expert: Dr. Joshua Septimus, Primary Care Physician

Interviewer: Todd Ackerman

Notable topics covered:

• What we know about how chronic inflammation causes disease 
• Why it took so long for low-grade inflammation to come into the chronic disease spotlight 
• Do the "-itises" (sinusitis, colitis, tendonitis) have anything to do with chronic inflammation? 
• The link between processed food and the risk of low-grade inflammation 
• The best test to determine if you have chronic inflammation 
• Are there pharmaceutical treatments targeted at chronic inflammation? 
• It's not just what you eat — the other factors that can promote low-grade inflammation 
• Does being significantly overweight always predispose a person to chronic inflammation? 
• The best dietary approach to prevent chronic inflammation

Welcome to another episode of the Natural Super Kids Podcast! Today's topic is a continuation of last week's discussion on the Australian Dietary Guidelines for Children. If you missed that episode, be sure to check it out because it sets the stage for today's conversation.

We’re talking about another tool provided by the Australian government for parents seeking to make healthier food choices for their children: the Health Star Rating. It aims to rate similar food products’ overall nutritional profiles, to help parents determine the best food options. This system is designed to simplify the process of choosing nutritious foods by assigning a rating from half a star to five stars, with five stars indicating a very healthy choice. It's like a nutritional compass for busy parents.

In today’s episode, I will discuss:

• What the Health Star Rating is;
• The 4 main nutritional factors considered by the Health Star Rating when rating products;
• Why the Health Star Rating is flawed:
  • It often ranks processed foods above wholefood options;
  • It doesn’t distinguish between natural and added sugars;
  • Manufacturers can tweak their scores by adding ingredients;
  • It is not mandatory to have a rating on food products.
• The most common food labelling tricks that can mislead us;
• Practical tips for ensuring your kids get the best nutrition possible.

We understand that parenting is a challenge, and we're here to support you in making those healthy choices. Tune in NOW — this episode is packed with vital information that can have a big impact on your family’s health.

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-size, bonus episodes offering tips, tricks, and approachable science. This week, Jenn's talking about ultra-processed food. The statistics show that 57% of adults' diets come from ultra-processed foods, and 67% of children’s daily calories come from empty calories. To identify ultra-processed foods, they are typically wrapped in plastic and contain at least one ingredient you don’t usually find in a kitchen, like emulsifiers and additives. Although there are some benefits to ultra-processed foods, such as being less expensive and more economically accessible, it’s essential to weigh the options to make the right choice for you. Like what you're hearing? Be sure to check out the full length episodes; new releases every Wednesday.  Have an idea for a nutrition nugget?  Submit it here: https://asaladwithasideoffries.com/index.php/contact/

In this episode of "The Holistic Hot Seat," we welcome our debut resident, Jayna Davis, a passionate advocate of holistic health and wellness.

We kick off the episode with a lively discussion about the impact of parenthood on child development and mental health. Jayna shares her informed opinions, stories, and the joys and challenges of raising kids.

The conversation then turns to postpartum mental health, and Jayna shares her own experiences and insights on this important topic. We discuss the importance of self-care and support, and laugh over some of the craziness that comes with being a new parent.

Next, we delve into the topic of processed foods and their negative impact on mental and overall health. This part gets pretty spirited, so buckle up friends! 

The conversation is engaging, relatable, and informative throughout, and we hope you come away with some new insights and inspiration for your own wellness journey.
