Primal Diet - Modern Health

Jason Seib is a professional fitness trainer and health coach who partners with Sarah Fragoso for podcasts, coaching and seminars.  You know Sarah from her best-selling books, "Everyday Paleo" and "Everyday Paleo Family Cookbook". But did you know she and Jason also host the Everyday Paleo Lifestyle and Fitness Podcasts? Jason and I talk about Fitness, Fat Loss, body image, change, and his new book "The Paleo Coach:  Expert Advice for Extraordinary Health" in this episode.  He's a great blogger and writes with depth and insight on all things weight, nutrition and fitness.  You'll learn something new hearing (and reading) Jason! Here's a Timeline to the show! 3:15 What makes this book different and how following "Rules" brings failure 6:02  How Everyday Paleo Lifestyle and Fitness got started 10:15  Why Diet alone won't bring sustainable Fat Loss. 19:55  Body Image, and throwing the scale away! 28:35  What is the Paleo Lifestyle anyway??

A passionate activist for Health, Women, the Environment, Justice and Sustainability, Lierre Keith is an amazing writer. Her controversial book "The Vegetarian Myth" is deeply thoughtful and provocative, with passages that are often lyrical and sometimes hard to hear. Her writings on the consequences of the Agricultural Revolution go far beyond the short summaries we hear from low-carb bloggers and Paleo writers. Formerly a vegan, Lierre digs deep into the destructive  role of grain-based diets on people and on the land. Like Michael Pollan and Joel Salatin, she offers a vision of truly well-rounded farming, where each part of the farm helps feed and maintain the next, restoring the land, the topsoil, and the health of the animals and people as it works. I loved reading this book, and I think you'll love hearing our interview. We talk about veganism, how to properly define agriculture (it's not as easy as you think!), and whether plant-based diets are sustainable to people and to the environment.  Listening to Lierre is a treat!  Check out her books and other work at www.lierrekeith.com. .

The Diet For Human Beings - my version of the Paleo Diet - is a simple diet. Cook plenty of clean proteins and veggies, adding the right kind of fats to everything!  Condiments such as garlic, herbs, curry, hot sauce, avocado, olives and more keep recipes fresh each time you make them. In this podcast, I share my cooking goals, such as how to plan ahead to cook enough food for the week at one time!  If I do that, I'll have my meals ready in minutes, either to eat at home or to pack up to go.  I'll tell you how I get my planning, shopping and cooking done in just a few hours, once a week.  NOTE: I live alone so cooking for a family will be a bit different.  The principles are the same though. If you don't have my FREE EBOOK, click to get it now and follow along with the show.  It's called "Planning and Preparing Multiple Paleo-Inspired Meals at Once". This way of cooking is so simple, even "I hate to cook" people can get inspired.  As well as the "I'm afraid of the kitchen" people.  No more excuses!  

Here's a winter weather podcast for mind and body.  Follow your natural instincts to eat seasonally too, replacing fruits with more fats and proteins.  Fat will fulfill your sugar cravings and keep you warmer and craving-free. 2:18  At two minutes into the podcast, I talk about Seasonal Affective Disorder - making us tired, hungry, depressed and sleepy.  Different types of light therapy can be used, including sunlight in the correct way. 3:45  Maintaining Vitamin D levels in the winter, and why testing is so important. 9:20  Breathing cold dry air is hard on us.  I share some ideas on the Buteyko Breathing Method and taping the mouth at night   And no, I don't use duct tape! 15:50  Maintaining indoor humidity levels at 45 to 50 helps us lower the thermostat and be more comfortable.  I discuss the difference between humidifiers and air-washers. 20:29  Here's some Cold/Flu natural prevention support and a few words on flu shots and other vaccines. 27:20  Dry Skin Care - we all need to feed our skin, and here are some ideas for better moisturizing as well as toxic-free skin care.  

Author Janie Bowthorpe of "Stop the Thyroid Madness" joins Beverly for this lively podcast discussion on thyroid dysfunction - how to recognize it, run correct labs, look for contributing factors such as adrenal and gluten problems, and much more. (Click below to listen or go to iTunes). Her book, blog and Facebook groups offer patient-to-patient problem solving and solutions from around the world. Have YOU been told your thyroid is "fine"?  Relying on the TSH test as the primary method of diagnosing and dosing thyroid concerns is incorrect.  Natural Health practitioners have been saying this for many years, and patients are finally learning how to talk to their doctors about this. You deserve better therapy than T-4 synthetic thyroid alone.  The body makes other thyroid hormones, as well as calcitonin, and these are better taken as Natural Dessicated Thyroid such as NP Thyroid, ERFA, Naturethroid or compounded T4/T3.  Armour is a natural dessicated product but the company has not confirmed it is gluten-free. And remember, always check the adrenals too!!  Saliva testing (not blood) is mandatory for anyone suspecting a thyroid problem, to rule out the adrenals as the cause of that concern.

The "Grass Fed Girl" (Caitlin Weeks) joins me to get personal about losing weight, breaking through the weight loss plateau, and learning HOW to keep fit and healthy. We talk about keeping a food journal, what amounts of carbs are OK to eat, and the importance of reducing your biggest stressors. Caitlin coaches clients on nutrition, fitness, and thyroid issues, based on her own experiences with Hashimoto's thyroid.  Find her at www.grassfedgirl.com. This is the first show on my new podcast system without my previous network.

"Everything I Know About Health in a One-Hour Podast" is my last show on Voice America!   I will be podcasting from my own website network before Thanksgiving 2012, so you'll need to go to iTunes or to my website and RESUBSCRIBE to the show to get it. Don't miss my one year plan for changing your life forever.  I'll lay out a to-do list that starts with FOOD FIRST (of course), but includes infection, sleep, hormones, auto-immune, dental health, toxins and more.  I've been in naturopathic practice as a Nutritionist in San Antonio for 25 years, so I've got a lot to say! For the 50,000  listeners I will be losing on my current network, please also take a moment to subscribe to my newsletter to stay in touch. Did you catch last week's show with world-famous Dr. Udo Erasmus?  He did amazing research on Flax Oil in the 1980's, and his Udo's Oils and Udo's Flora are in every health store.  Here's a couple of tips from our show: If you have no gallbladder, your bile constantly drips into the intestine, instead of being released during a meal. Solution?  Eat more frequently to use this precious bile. Try 4 meals a day. The oat germ oil in his blend is Gluten-Free, as is any Wheat Germ oil.  Any refined oil will not have the gluten protein remaining. Probiotics help your gut make Vitamin K, essential for the correct transport and utilization of calcium.  If you're low on K, calcium can deposit in your eyes (cataracts), arteries (atherosclerosis), joints (arthritis/bone spurs) or make stones in the gall bladder or kidneys. Take Probiotics at the end of a meal, when stomach acid is already absorbed by food and will not affect the flora. Omega 6 deficiencies are fairly common in those eating a super-clean Paleo Diet.  We may get plenty of Omega 3's from fish and flax, but we need the balance of other oils in his Flax Blend to provide the correct ratio.  There's more on the show itself.  Listen here. Primal Diet - Modern Health has been a spectacular journey, with 35 LIVE one-hour shows, and amazing guests such as Sarah Fragoso, Whole 9's Melissa Hartwig, Dianne Sanfilippo, Dr. Kaayla Daniel and Sandrine Hahn from WAPF, Juli from PaleOMG, Dr. Davis of Wheat Belly and many more.  The show has brought tens of thousands of listeners and many supportive emails. You can listen to all shows from my website, and hopefully I can keep them on iTunes once I go (not sure about that yet). Tune in LIVE at 11 AM CST this Wednesday, or listen to the farewell show after Thursday on iTunes or from this link or from my website.  Enjoy!  And please feel free to comment or dialog with others in the comment section. I'd like to start using that now, so get your name and ideas in print!
