This Unmillennial Life

DYK that the Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals we eat, drink and breathe each day interfere with our normal body functions, including our risk for Obesity?

Here’s a likely scenario: Someone recently offered you sourdough starter and you thought “I love sourdough! Why not? How hard can it be?” Then, you start reading and get overwhelmed. Don’t toss out that starter just yet. This guide to getting started with starter can help.

Joining me in this episode is Dr. Chris Mohr, a frequent guest on the podcast who – along with his wife Kara – specializes in the importance of sleep for overall health and wellness. Recently, Chris wrapped up an article for Men’s Health that involved testing products geared toward helping us recover during sleep, especially following exercise but also following the daily stresses of life.

“Do you need to take a supplement if you have an otherwise healthy diet?” It’s a question I get asked a lot and my very simple answer is “Yes!” But what you take, what brand you buy and in what dose can differ from person to person.

Today’s episode is all about Magnesium — the mineral that every body needs to run better. In this episode, you’ll learn about assessing your current total nutrition to see if you give your body enough magnesium to help your sleep, bones, digestion, hormones, metabolism, and muscles work better.

As we all settle in to this new routine, I'm popping into your podcast app to give a quick update on what to expect from me moving forward. Have a listen and please... connect me with me outside of the podcast. I'd love to see you in the Facebook Group and/or on Instagram. Take care. Stay Safe. And Stay Home if you can. ~Regan

Today's bonus episode is a discussion of the recommendations I and fellow registered dietitians recently shared with Janet Helm for a U.S. News and World Report article entitled "Would You Be Ready If You Needed To Self-Quarantine?" 

no. 83 - The Enneagram Growth Episode

I'm changing the release schedule this week and airing what would normally be the {wednesday rewind} today instead. On Wednesday, I'll release a new episode that builds on this Enneagram episode.

Tons of scales on the market may say they offer up body fat analysis, but experts agree most of them are riddled with inaccuracies. The gold standard DEXA-scan offers a much truer picture of body composition, but up until recently had been fairly difficult to access for the average, everyday athlete or weekend warrior. DexaFit locations across the country are changing that. Disclosure: I was provided the testing done in this episode at no cost.

What’s arguably lost in the discussion about the film, The Game Changers Movie, is a discussion of what the film gets right. At least that’s the opinion of today’s podcast guest, Sharon Palmer, MSFS, RD — The Plant-Powered Dietitian. With more than 18 years of experience in the field of plant-based nutrition and sustainability, Sharon has authored more than 1000 articles on plant-based eating in various publications, including Better Homes and Gardens, Oprah Magazine, and LA Times.

If a friend told you her aging mother had found a new salve that eased arthritis pain in her hands, you’d be happy for her, right? What if you noticed a co-worker missing fewer days from work after trying a new migraine prevention protocol – a good thing, no? What if both of them told you the treatment involved cannabis or “medical marijuana”? Would you feel the same?

Joining me in this episode is Holistic Cannabis Practitioner and fellow Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Janice Bissex. I interviewed Janice in Season 1 of the podcast in The Cannabis Episode. Today she’s back to focus solely on CBD — its benefits, uses, and recommendations for dosing.

Up first in this second episode of the series, I'm interviewing Dr. Michael Lewis -- founder of Brain Health Education and Research Institute and a global expert in nutritional interventions for brain health, particularly the use of omega-3 fatty acids for the prevention, management, and rehabilitation of concussions and traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Experts say nearly 45 million kids play sports in the U.S. and of those, 3 to 5 million experience some form of brain injury like a concussion each year. In this two-part podcast series, one mom shares her son's story following a traumatic brain injury suffered during a basketball game. In Part 2, I interview the nation's leading expert on targeted nutritional therapy for concussion protection and recovery.
