Real Health Conversations

Welcome to Low Carb Conversations with Leah Williamson and Holly Jean Barrett, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners. Our guest today is Dr. Don Clum, a chiropractor and specialist in advanced metabolic nutrition. Dr. Clum has a cutting edge, integrative programs for insulin resistance specifically focusing on diabetes, diabetes prevention, metabolic syndrome, weight loss resistance, obesity, and cardiometabolic issues. Don is a bit of a health rebel in the way he challenges the narrative and standard of care in his field and brings light, through first hand experience, to how the medical profession generally mishandles metabolic syndrome and related illnesses. This episode has so much in it – eating windows, meal times and how the majority of people who practice intermittent fasting are doing so incorrectly in terms of metabolic health. We cover weight loss, blood sugar management, the importance of variance in routines for a thriving body. We close out the episode Don talking about how to simplify autophagy to reap the benefits of cellular regeneration.

Welcome to Low Carb Conversations with Leah Williamson and Holly Jean Barrett, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners. On this episode we are joined by Jeanne David, Founder and CEO of Outer Aisle Gourmet. Jeanne initially created her cauliflower-based sandwich thins and pizza crusts to help her family remove processed carbs and sugars from their diet, while still enjoying comfort food classics like pizza and tacos. Jeanne is passionate about bringing a low carb, grain and gluten-free bread alternative to those looking to improve health and maximize longevity by reducing chronic, systemic inflammation caused by overconsumption of processed carbohydrates and excess sugar. As a product of the “low fat” diet generation, Jeanne had an eye opening interaction with a life insurance actuary who referred to her generation as one that will “live short and die long”. It was then that she began to learn how inflammation plays is an underlying factor that plays a role in the 5 leading diseases – diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and cancer.

Welcome to Low Carb Conversations with Leah Williamson and Holly Jean Barrett, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners. In this episode, Leah and Holly Jean enjoy a down to earth discussion with Jenn Kautsch. Jenn is the founder of SoberSis, a like-minded community of women who are renegotiating their relationship with alcohol w/o labels, shame, judgment or rules. Jenn supports women through practical tools and connection while breaking the wine o’clock habit and she does not hold back in this episode – we talk about all the feels, the mixed emotions, the tips and the tricks! Between 2019 into 2020, reports of women binge drinking rose amid the pandemic. Now many of those women, particularly mothers, say they’re reevaluating their relationship with alcohol in hopes to put an end to the, potentially dangerous, trend. We’ve all seen the memes floating around – joking about how “mommy needs her juice”, and while it may start as all fun and games, many women are discovering that the ritual of unwinding and relaxing with a drink turns into a slippery slope of needing a drink to cope with stress. If you have been questioning your relationship with alcohol, or curious about breaking free from that detox-to-retox cycle, this is the episode for you!
