I recorded this on the first leg of my trip backpacking through Poland while in Lublin. Let me tell you, Warsaw is a vegan paradise! There are so many delicious vegan options there and way more affordable than what you can find in LA. Traveling like this is actually pretty cool because it's like a brain workout. Every new city brings new challenges to solve and things to learn.

Bruce Willis’ family recently announced that he is suffering from frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a form of dementia for which there are currently no treatments. They are encouraging people to spread awareness in hopes that maybe potentially one day there will be a cure. On this episode of the Raw Food Health Empowerment Podcast, I talk about SPECT single photon emission computed tomography, which can be used to diagnose different types of dementia. We explore the two areas of the brain that Bruce Willis is having issues with and how a non-famous person could be impacted. By being aware of these issues, we can take steps to optimize brain health and improve our overall quality of life. One way to do this is by diversifying our gut microbiome, which is ground zero for the health of our body and brain.

I’ve created a checklist just for you. Download it here: https://rawfoodmealplanner.com/how-to-diversify-your-gut-microbiome/ The immune system counts on the microbiome for functionality. By taking care of the gut, we can recover better from COVID, per the studies, but it goes beyond this. A healthy gut = a healthy brain! So, how do we keep the gut healthy? The first thing to do is to get rid of all antibiotic-antimicrobial products (including hand sanitizers and antibacterial soaps). This needs to be done, as soon as possible, even though you may not feel sick. Many products don't give the bacteria time to get back to some baseline, and killing off both the good and the bad bacteria can result in a very bad situation. The key thing here is to go back to basic hygiene. Use hand soap, not 'hand sanitizer', and wash your hands with soap and water. Eat only organic foods. Learn more on this episode as we dive deeper in how to diversify the gut so you can be as healthy, energetic, mentally sharp, and happy as possible.

I asked my mom this question and she answered, “Yes, but not worried.” We dive into this on today’s episode of the Raw Food Health Empowerment Podcast. I don’t watch prices but my family has shared with me that the price of apples has increased by 75% in Orlando. The big bag of organic frozen blueberries at Whole Foods used to cost $8 and are now $10, a 25% increase. Food prices overall have climbed by 8.8% yearly, while the cost of agricultural chemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides has increased by approximately 50% in the previous year. A lot of those chemicals come from Russia. Folks are concerned obesity may be on the rise as a result of rising food expenses. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the percentage of the population classified as obese has grown by 11.4%, affecting almost 42% of Americans. In this episode, we discuss how we’re handling this inflation.

Six years into Jeannette Donofrio’s raw vegan journey, she went to the dentist's office, and the dentist was shocked. The dentist told her that she had the teeth of a 75-year-old. That’s how soft they were. Jeannette realized that it must be her habit of eating dried fruit daily in the quantity in which she was eating them that made her teeth degrade so quickly. Jeannette drops so many gems of wisdom from her 10+ years of living a fruit-based vegan lifestyle on today’s Raw Food Health Empowerment Podcast episode.

The vagus nerve is your body's longest nerve. It links your brain to a number of vital organs throughout your body, including your gut, heart, and lungs. In fact, the Latin word "vagus" means "wanderer," which aptly describes how the nerve travels throughout the body and connects to various organs. The vagus nerve is also an important part of your parasympathetic nervous system, which helps you relax and digest food. It has an impact on your respiration, digestion, and heart rate, all of which have a significant impact on your mental health.

If you follow health trends, you may have noticed that skinimalism is a new trend that has emerged. I find it funny since it is something I've been talking about forever although I did not coin the term. The trend is all about less is more when it comes to skin care products - buying less, wearing less and using less. The trend is all about loving yourself as you are and using only the necessary products to enhance what God blessed you with instead of hiding behind the mask of makeup.

Today, we are showing you how my mom made zucchini fritters with a raw vegan sweet and sour dip and vegan saltfish inspired by The Mindful Plate on YouTube. But before we get there, I will take you in the kitchen with me as I make a salad using nori. Nori was what helped make the heart of palms in the vegan saltfish taste fishy. Nori is a seaweed that comes from the ocean. It is high in prebiotic fiber that you don’t get in other land plant foods. Nori is an excellent source of iodine for thyroid health and vitamin B12.

We are all different. We think and behave differently. Our gut bacteria is distinct and our gut bacteria affects our brain and mood so it makes sense that our brains would be distinct as well. This is my understanding of neurodiversity. According to Wikipedia, “neurodiversity refers to variation in the human brain regarding sociability, learning, attention, mood and other mental functions in a non-pathological sense. It was coined in 1998 by sociologist Judy Singer, who helped popularize the concept along with journalist Harvey Blume.” Today, I am talking with Anuradha Kowtha, a catalyst, educator, and consultant, who works with individuals, small businesses and organizations. Anuradha’s journey working across both public and private sectors has led Anuradha to see systemic issues like hierarchy and exploitation and find ways to address systemic issues at their root cause. The thread that runs through Anuradha’s work is illuminating and liberating individuals and small teams from the indoctrination and cookie-cutter thinking that comes from capitalism and colonialism, so they can provide bold and innovative solutions rooted in justice to their clients and communities.

My mom laughs whenever I say she will live to 120. I am convinced it's possible due to the Blue Zones study and how my mom lives but what the book left out was racism and how it affects the Black community and our longevity potential. A study of 55 Black women in the U.S. found that those with more racial discrimination experiences showed proportionally greater response in brain regions associated with threat vigilance and regulation of threat response. This is what chronic stress looks like. This is something nutrition cannot fix. Racism has a trauma-like effect on Black women's health. The researchers concluded from the study that being regularly attuned to the threat of racism can tax important body-regulation tools and worsen brain health. Per other studies, this kind of chronic stress can increase the risk of mental health disorders and additional future brain health problems. It’s one thing when we have to deal with this stress out in society and at work but when we have to deal with it within our own families and in our home, it really works against longevity. On this episode of the Raw Food Health Empowerment Podcast, I have a special guest Hannah Pillow who has spent a large part of her life living amongst a wide range of cultures. She was married into a Pakistani family, grew up in a South African Indian family, lived in Istanbul, Turkey for two years and now she’s married into a British family and living in the UK. Having not just traveled, but immersing herself in other cultures, she has learned that we are all a lot more similar than we realise. This is why she started a podcast. She wants us all to open our eyes to how similar we all are while appreciating the things that make us unique. I met Hannah in a community I am a part of full of women of color business owners and I resonated with her story of having hard conversations about race with her mother in law and other family members.

I had my biz bestie, Brianna Wilkerson, come on the show to talk about essential oils that can give you the energetic boost you need without the crash and damaging effect of energy drinks and other sugary beverages. I understand that essential oils may not help you pull an all-nighter but all-nighters are the worst. They rob you of brain cells and decrease cognitive function. Lack of sleep robs you in every way possible. However, if you are in a situation where emergency energy is needed, I have talked on the podcast before about yerba mate tea. On this episode, we also discuss essential oils to help curb burnouts and stress so make sure to share this with the folks in your family who are in need of a mini vacation. Make sure to register for the Summit Brianna is hosting, Your Healthiest Years Yet Summit happening October 18th-22nd.

Today, I’m giving you a sneak peak of my interview with the dynamic duo of Blend of Soul in North Carolina. Margo and Ki are guest speakers on the Raw Food Health Empowerment Summit talking about how they handle running a juice bar and manage such an amazing social media presence. In this clip, they mentioned the idea for the business came while driving on the interstate listening to Boss by the Carters on the Everything is Love album. On that same song Beyonce mentions a line about representation on the Forbes list. It had me thinking, what if that list had a diverse group of people promoting health and wellness for all?

The keys to longevity are stress reduction, finding purpose, and giving back to the community. Are you doing all the things for a long healthy life but don’t have the will to live beyond 70? We have research showing us the way to live to 120 and beyond but if you don’t want to live that long, all the healthy habits won’t make a difference. Our mind is super powerful. Yogis can decide when they leave their body and folks die within the time frame the doctors tell them how many days they have left to live. This is the power of the mind. Dr. Joe Dispenza has written many books about this among other doctors and scientists in the wellness space. Why choose to stay? I say stay because if God has not deemed it fit that it’s your natural end then you still have work to do on this planet. I have spoken to some women in my community who don’t have the will or energy to continue because they’ve had a really bad, nasty divorce.

Sustaining a healthy lifestyle can be difficult especially when you don’t have the support system around you or you have peer pressure to do the things that don’t make you feel like your best healthiest self. When I started my high raw vegan journey, I did it with a husband who had gone vegan a little bit before me, he knew how to make delicious tasting plant rich meals, and we lived on our own and had the funds and desire to eat as clean as possible. We even invested in our first juicer together in our first year of marriage. Folks following a raw vegan and vegan lifestyle find dating to be very difficult. One woman said, “finding a good, honest, mentally stable, no substance issues partner that’s also vegan (raw vegan) feels like needle in a haystack for real”. Today on the podcast to discuss this is Karine, the Vegan Cupid. Karine is a  Vegan Dating Expert, who helps her clients meet their veg match. She lives and breathes vegan dating, love, and relationships and has been helping vegan and vegetarian singles find love for over ten years.

Women have said many times to me that their work makes it difficult for them to find the time to meal prep and exercise but now the world of work has changed where major corporations have had to have their staff work from home during the pandemic and have realized it is more cost effective to keep people at home working as opposed to paying commercial rents. This is a positive thing, especially for Black women who are leaving large corporations in high numbers due to the workplace being toxic and stress inducing and having great job opportunities in other companies that are working to diversify. Today on the podcast to discuss this is Watchen Nyanue, Founder and CEO of I Choose the Ladder, a career development agency that helps corporations develop and retain their high performing Black female talent through professional development workshops, curated events, and digital resources. She has worked with clients such as Nike, Best Buy, and Walgreens.

I have never been a fan of hand sanitizer, that’s until I started going hiking and I noticed Dr Bronner’s made some healthier versions using essential oils. I was always concerned about the chemicals in conventional sanitizers. Sanitizers are full of toxic chemicals, like phthalates, which mimics hormones and disrupts the endocrine glands. Endocrine disruptors have been linked to diabetes and obesity. Using sanitizers also disrupts our hand microbiome, the “good” bacteria that keep our skin, and our bodies, healthy. But once we hit COVID, all the news had folks in fear and people really went crazy with sanitizing solution. I took a plane from NYC a couple months ago and all the passengers on the plane, which was packed by the way, had out disinfectant sprays and sanitizer spraying everything and wiping down everything. I love a clean environment but this was overboard. I started coughing from all the sprays. The irony is that the sanitizers have triclosan which can damage the immune system. Ultimately, soap and water is the best and only way to clean yourself in the least harmful and most effective way. When you are out hiking or in an environment where you need to disinfect your hands, opt for phthalate-free and triclosan-free sanitizers.

When you have type 2 diabetes, there are no cheat days, but the good news is that most people are able to reverse their type 2 diabetes with a whole foods vegan diet within 2 weeks. The best accountability buddy you could have is a produce delivery box because once your kitchen is full of produce, you will eat it all to make sure the food does not go bad.

If you want to get off metformin, the answer is nutrition. The Self Care Salon was created for folks looking to reverse type 2 diabetes and prediabetes and prevent type 2 diabetes. You create the environment from within yourself to allow healing to take place. It starts with a decision. Decide you want to eat clean. I’ve always taught that you setup your kitchen for success but folks get really caught up in their heads before they can even take that step. Don’t complain about your condition. Use it as an opportunity to do better. There is always room for improvement. Bob Marley said complaining is prayers to the devil. Here’s another way: Isaiah 33:10 says “But the LORD says: “Now I will stand up. Now I will show my power and might.” You have it within you to do a different thing, to show up more fully in your life. Type 2 diabetes is an opportunity to do that. It is a wake up call. Below is a sneak peak into one of our recent check-ins in the Self Care Salon where we talk about what more the Bible has to say to motivate us on our wellness journey.

Did you know childhood trauma creates inflammation in the body? Research shows that abuse in childhood and even in adulthood can trigger emotional and physical reactions that can make you more prone to a series of health conditions, including heart attack, stroke, obesity, diabetes, and cancer.

April Arlene Owens joins me today on the Raw Food Health Empowerment Podcast to discuss how she is helping women release the trauma and become more confident in their bodies.

This is a much delayed post because I wanted to spend more time and gather more information and personal experiences of Haiti. Haiti is the most disrespected of all the Caribbean islands and I don’t understand why since they played such a huge role in Black liberation history. Today, on this episode of the Raw Food Health Empowerment Podcast, my friend from high school, Elizabeth, shares some insight on why Haiti has been crippled financially and her experiences and memories of the food from her home country. Join us on this journey.

Our bodies run on a circadian rhythm, which is an internal clock or schedule of which all the important processes that happen in our body run on and it is dictated by our wake, eat and sleep cycles. But we also have an internal clock and rhythm for productivity and energy.  For peak energy and performance, it doesn't serve us or our mission/life’s purpose to work for hours straight throughout the day and 7 days a week. We have to take breaks - mental breaks and digital breaks. My guest on today’s episode, Stephanie Redcross West, started Vegan Mainstream based on a simple idea: to build a pro-vegan world, we need a solid infrastructure of successful businesses and brands to ensure that an ethical lifestyle is accessible to everyone, everywhere. This is her mission and she shares today how she is working towards this goal while practicing self care by setting healthy boundaries. If you get fatigued, spacey, irritable, distracted, or fidgety at 2 pm in the afternoons, this is the episode to listen to. You are not to blame. Our bodies are not meant to sit for long hours looking at screens. We need to walk and we need to take breaks.

“Black women are three to four times more likely to die due to pregnancy-related causes than white women and often report experiencing mistreatment during care.” ~ Fast Company We have a broken healthcare system, which I often refer to as a sick care system but it does not have to be this way. There was a time when black women got the care and support they needed from other black women and had healthy babies. It is still happening now on a small scale. My guest on today’s episode, Ameka Ali, is making this opportunity more accessible by creating an app to connect pregnant women with midwives and doulas to assist them in a healthy pregnancy and childbirth experience. See what she had to say on the Raw Food Health Empowerment Podcast regarding the difference between a midwife and a doula and how to setup an amazing birth experience for you and your baby at home.

At this point, I think most of us have wised up to how sick this country is and we are in a healing phase at the moment, which will be painful for most of us who are conscious beings. Many folks want to know how do we get through this and in my opinion, the answer is to have hard conversations with folks who do not look like you and may not think like you. We are all in our silos and what that will do is breed more division. We only get to a place of having love and empathy for all when we can listen and sit in understanding on some level. You may not have understanding with lived experience but you can find points of commonality. We also need to educate ourselves so we are having intelligent conversations. These are the weapons of change. I’m joined today by Jonnah Baker, founder of Raw Christian Living, on this special bonus episode of the Raw Food Health Empowerment Show to discuss how we are dealing with all that’s happening in our country right now.

I had the pleasure of having an awesome sistah in the fight against chronic disease plaguing our community, Dr Ruby Lathon, on the Raw Food Health Empowerment Show. Dr. Lathon is a certified holistic nutritionist, wellness coach and an advocate for the life-saving benefits of plant-based nutrition. She inspires with a powerful story of recovering from thyroid cancer through alternative treatment focused on a whole foods, plant-based diet and has worked as a researcher and an award winning engineer, and now teaches others how to re-engineer their health and live disease free. I have been following her ever since I saw her on the documentary What the Health, which was a huge hit. Then, she was on the Roland Martin show. I actually saw the Roland Martin episode recently after COVID hit and was so disappointed and I had to talk to Dr Lathon about it. See what she had to say on the Raw Food Health Empowerment Podcast.

If you’re using food for comfort, consider these self reflecting questions and journal on them, ponder them.  Relax in a comfy space and mull over them. Think about the thing that is exhausting you, let’s say it’s work for example. Why do you do the work that you do? What are you missing in your work and in life? If we are eating for comfort, there is something we probably feel we are lacking in that moment that the food fills for us even temporarily. Can you find happiness and comfort beyond food? Here are some ideas: Read a novel or a good book Write your thoughts and emotions in a journal. Take a long walk outside. Watch a favorite movie or television show. Sing and dance. These are all examples of self care practices that will help you overcome food addiction or using food not to nourish your body but to comfort or quell an emotion. They are also ways in which you can infuse play in your day. Listen as we go into detail on this on the Raw Food Health Empowerment Podcast.

Dieters experience strong cravings for the foods they are trying to restrict, which is why diet is not the answer to sustainable weight loss. The moment you are forcing yourself, you have lost the battle. A better and easier way is to focus on crowding out unhealthy foods and eating more healthy foods. Even healthy foods can work against you if they are not prepared in a healthy manner. Take irish moss for example, which is a staple food of Jamaicans. It has so many health benefits yet Jamaicans and Jamaican Americans are not uplifted as the healthiest group. It’s because of how the food is prepared.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that around 700 women die from complications related to pregnancy or childbirth every year. Black mothers are three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than White women. Currently, we are seeing similar trends with the effects of COVID-19 on the Black community, with Black counties having infection rates nearly three times higher and death rates that are about six times higher than majority white counties. Disparities around maternal mortality and COVID-19 death rates are impacted by pre-existing conditions that, per the reports, Black people are more likely to experience, like hypertension and cardiovascular issues, due to social and structural inequalities and food choices. There is a food fix to these pre-existing conditions of which Dr Greger goes into detail in his book How Not to Die.

As I’ve been working in public health, I find the theory of motivation by Maslow particularly interesting. His pyramid depicting the hierarchy of human needs is the framework that helped him depict what he felt were the motivating factors of human beings.

Financial resources beats knowledge sometimes when it comes to healthy eating for some people. The way I manage to eat high raw on a budget is by not depending on expensive foods. I rarely use dates.

A 2016 report by ReFed estimated that the U.S. wastes 30% of the food supply representing 126 billion pounds of wasted food annually with a street value of over $161 billion dollars.  In 2017, the EPA determined that more food than any other single material was the largest contribution to landfills in the U.S. While I think it’s better to have more than enough healthy food at home and waste than to not have enough and you end up eating trash because you’re hungry or you consistently run out to buy prepared food instead of saving and investing your money, there is a third and fourth option. Turn your food waste into ingredients for a new recipe or compost it.

My mother has always said happiness is a choice. Sometimes it feels hard to make that choice, especially if you are surrounded by unhappy people. I think that’s why I have always rejected negative people from my circle of friends. It sounds harsh but I knew I did not have the capacity to help them so I focused on making sure the bubble I lived in was a positive one. It helped me see possibilities and potential in life. It made (and continues to make) for a joyful life of promise and potential. To be happy, you have to focus on self-care. This may mean getting a massage, practicing emotional freedom technique (EFT), practicing daily meditation, yoga, tai chi, etc. Pick something that resonates with you. Research has shown that tai chi has tons of beneficial psychological impacts, ranging from increased self-esteem to reduced stress, anxiety, and mood disturbances (including depression). Yoga, laughter, dance, gardening and even music can be fun and effective at lifting your mood. Research has also shown that gardening also decreases the severity of depression and disrupts negative rumination that can keep us in a dark place emotionally. Finding personal peace is foundational. Then, to maintain that peace while in a union is the advanced level of spiritual growth. This episode we talk about how to maintain your personal happiness while in a marriage. ALERT! There is a spoiler in here on the show Greanleaf Season 4 so if you have not seen it yet, do not listen.

Thanksgiving is coming up and I am remembering the massacre of Native Americans. I would rant about this every Thanksgiving as a youth at the table with my family. While the holiday is a family one for me because traditionally we’ve always gathered, cooked and ate together, I could not eat without acknowledging the lives lost and the fact that we celebrate the killers. In our world today, we are still abusing living beings for sport in this country. Not just humans but animals that also deserve the right to live out their lives in peace. We grant it to our pets but not other animals we cannot domesticate and cuddle up with on the couch. It’s quite interesting to me.

Hi, I'm Christine McDonald. 4 years ago I was really sick and couldn't lose the 65 lbs I gained from my 3rd son. I was a half marathon runner with arthritis, gout, IBS-D, hereditary high blood pressure, high cholesterol, migraines, anxiety and more. One day, I was running and asked God for the truth about health. He told me to go back to the beginning. The beginning meant the Garden of Eden. That is where the healing is. God's first intentions for us.  So I began doing research and began to baby step at changing my diet. I started with 21 days of alkaline eating cutting out the acid foods. Then I reintroduced the acid foods one by one so I could see which ones triggered me. Sure enough meat, eggs and dairy brought back my pains from arthritis, gout and migraines and also brought back anxiety. The wheat products brought back IBS-D. Etc etc. As I continued to baby step, I finally got to doing raw challenges and juice fasts.  I have wanted to be fully raw, but I find it easier to sustain on raw till dinner. Then have an alkaline cooked dinner meal. I consider myself still baby stepping and hope to one day be fully raw. But I never beat myself up. I love myself to health.

Poor digestion can manifest in different ways, like excessive gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux and fatigue. Proper food combining can alleviate these symptoms. On this episode of the RawFood Health Empowerment Podcast, we talk about food combining and how to do it properly. I have to make a clarification about something I said on the episode. I said have fruit for breakfast only but this is only if you’re eating cooked food. The main point is to not do fruit after cooked food. Cooked food takes longer to digest so eating fruit after cooked food will create gas. If you are 100% raw throughout the day, you will not have this issue. In this podcast episode, you’ll learn: 🗣️ Why you may want to keep a food diary 🗣️ What could be causing your excessive gas issues 🗣️ How food combining works for optimal digestion Episode Resources on the blog at https://rawfoodmealplanner.com/how-to-do-proper-food-combining 🥭 I get Imperfect Produce delivered to my door.

I’m a huge supporter of Marianne Williamson. She is the candidate I have waited for my entire career. She is also a huge inspiration because she is so well-rounded. She is spiritually wise and well-versed on all the national and international issues of the POTUS position. Most of all, personally she inspires me how she is able to have conversations about highly charged topics and combat it with historical facts, patience, and peacefulness.  I’m constantly in political debates with my family, but I admit, I often end up yelling and being annoyed and frustrated that the other person is saying stuff that I beyond grossly disagree with. Being the passionate person that I am, part of my spiritual journey has been to get skillful with engaging in conversation of disagreement without being annoyed by it. Marianne seems to do this and still stay peaceful and calm.  In this podcast episode, you’ll learn: 🗣️ Why you should leave a review of the podcast 🗣️ How to select the right juicer 🗣️ More about Marianne Williamson Episode Resources on the blog at http://rawfoodmealplanner.com/MarianneWilliamson 🦷 Hey, check out Bite!

On this episode of the Raw Food Health Empowerment Show, we discuss why vitamin B12 deficiency should not be an issue for health conscious vegans.  Beyond B12 though, there are some critical things we do need to be mindful of for our health and well-being, which includes eating out at restaurants, even vegan restaurants.  Teflon is made up of fluorochemicals and is used to make non-stick, water resistant and oil repellent products and chemicals. Many restaurants could be using teflon coated pots and pans and this is an issue because this carcinogenic chemical leaches into food and the particles get released in the air.  These fluorochemicals have been linked to many diseases such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon and rectal cancer, liver tumors, birth defects and infertility.  In this episode, you’ll also learn: 🗣️ What we’re putting in our smoothies this season 🗣️ How my mom got over her sugar addiction 🗣️ How to avoid nutritional deficiencies Episode Resources on the blog at http://rawfoodmealplanner.com/why-i-don’t-worry-about-a-vitamin-b12-deficiency 🥭 Have amazing produce, delivered to your door.

Food is not the only thing being genetically engineered.  Parents are using IVF and preimplantation genetic testing and choosing to implant embryos less likely to have certain genetic diseases and chromosomal disorders. Others are using prenatal testing to detect genetic abnormalities and, in some cases, choosing to terminate pregnancies. Gene editing tools will allow for designer babies where parents can remove or add characteristics with sophisticated levels of detail. You can select a baby who is tall, has a high IQ, and is an extrovert. The time is here where we need to think about our values and ethics around this. Where do we stand on this genetic manipulation? How much of taxpayer dollars should we allow for everyone to have access to this technology? What are the implications for implicit bias and it’s effect on the population with people having access to make these God-like decisions? We discuss this and more on today’s episode.

Did you know using aluminum foil and consuming fish can lead to cognitive decline, or even worse, Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s disease? I’ve seen women in my family use the foil to bake fish a lot growing up. Symptoms like low energy, mood imbalances and cognitive issues could be stemming from heavy metal poisoning from fish, silver dental fillings that slowly release mercury into the body, environmental pollutants (think cigarette smoke and air pollution), tattoos, vaccinations, and household products (like air condition filters, cosmetics, antiperspirants, aluminum foil, and fabric softeners). This episode, we run through all the foods and spices that can support your body in removing heavy metals, like mercury, lead, arsenic, aluminum, etc. Heavy metal toxicity can be deadly, but if you eat the foods we recommend on this episode on the regular and minimize exposure to the source of the toxins, you should be in good shape. In this episode you’ll learn: 🗣️ How to portion control in a way where you don’t feel deprived 🗣️ The 1 area of my health I tend to neglect 🗣️ The shocking technique Dr Sebi used to heal his eyes Read the full podcast notes on the blog http://rawfoodmealplanner.com/how-to-support-heavy-metal-detoxification // HOST Samantha Salmon Certified Holistic Health Coach // CO-HOST Dorrell Hylton Salmon Mom, Wife, Hair Doctor, Beauty Parlor Counselor, Prayer Warrior The information provided in this broadcast is for educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

Halloween is coming up and there will be a lot of folks putting on makeup. This is all fun and games until it’s not. I am not and have never been a fan of makeup. Primarily because I value and respect authenticity. I also feel like self-love comes from embracing yourself as you are instead of bending to other people’s perception of beauty. These days, I am anti-chemicals in and on the body and makeup is full of them. Now, this position on makeup is not really shared among all health coaches. I brought my colleague, Mishra, on the show to share her views, which is the polar opposite of mine.
