Your Nutrition Prescription Podcast

I have a special interview with one of my former clients Stephanie Potter. I met Stephanie a little over a year ago and when we met she was diagnosed with endometriosis, fibromyalgia, IBS, she also had chronic fatigue and chronic join pain as well.  We worked together for about 5 months, we worked on her gut, then she continued her commitment to her health on her own and over the last year she has completely transformed her health. 

In this episode, I am going to cover 6 evidence based natural approaches to inflammatory bowel disease.  Some of these approaches have been shown to put IBD in remission in a subset of patients.  This is an absolute MUST LISTEN for anyone suffering from IBD, or anyone who is generally interested in digestive health. 

Today, I have Jonathan Medina on the show to discuss his journey from being diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis less than 2 years ago to being completely symptom and medication free today.  We discuss Jonathan's experience with the disease, the options that he was offered by his doctor and his decision to do whatever it takes to heal. This is a very inspiring story that you don't want to miss.

When Dr. Stephen Cabral was a teenager, he was a 3 sport athlete, and a high achieving student.  He was a healthy kid, or so he thought.  In a short span of time he completely lost his health. It got so bad that he had a hard time climbing a flight of steps and some days he barely got out of bed.  The journey to get well, sent Dr. Cabral on a healing journey and it has led to Dr. Cabral to found and grow the biggest Functional Medicine practice in the world so that he can do the same for others.

After a long break from publishing episodes it is GREAT TO BE BACK with a lengthy, but important episode. Today on the show we discuss Five Shocking Truths about Healthcare in the US. I want to warn you ahead of time, some of what we cover in this episode is going to disturb you.  This episode is packed with statistics that are so far fetched some of them sound made up.  Tune in to inform and protect yourself and your family.

I am going to be taking a break from the podcast for a few weeks while I work on a slightly different direction and format for future episodes.  I want to start incorporating:  1) Interview episodes 2) Highlights of people who have overcome chronic illness with healthy living 3) More in depth comprehensive classes on specific topics This is going to require more time per episode, so the show will be released with less frequency. Tune in to the episode to find out more about the changes.

Science and technology have advanced rapidly over the last two decades, but unfortunately medical practice has not kept pace.  In a previous episode, I talked about markers beyond LDL and HDL cholesterol that were important for determining heart disease risk.  In that episode, I focused mostly on LDL particle #, but today I want to talk about another risk factor that is also frequently missed: Lipoprotein a or Lp (a).  Tune in to learn all about Lp(a) 

Many of us spend so much time focusing on the small things or we place all of our attention into one area of our lives that we forget to invest daily into what really matters.  Today on the show, I am going to share with you a simple method that I read about in a book recently that I have found value from in my life and think that you might find value from as well.

I don't usually listen to the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, but recently Joe invited Dr. Chris Kresser and Dr. Joel Kahn to have a debate about Paleo nutrition vs. Vegan nutrition and I was curious to hear the discussion.  It was a great discussion, but I found it to be lacking in some respects. Given that Joe Rogan runs one of the most popular podcast in the world and I know that this podcast reached several million people (and probably some of you), I want to give my take on the discussion.

Is there really no harm to eating massive amounts of protein when it comes to longevity? That is a difficult question to answer, but today on the show, I am going to present a few studies that provided some insight.  We are also going to discuss why I believe (and the science supports) that basically doing the opposite of what Paleo diet rules recommend in terms of protein sources is probably a wise move. We are going to cover some interesting science that you definitely don't want to miss out on.

It is great and very important to make an effort to maintain a positive mindset ALL OF THE TIME. But, sometimes we just get a funk and this can be difficult to snap out of.  Today on the show, I want to share with you seven strategies for how to get out of a funk that I use with myself and with my private coaching clients. I hope that this episode is helpful for you in some way.
