Today’s topic is something every parent can learn from – how to raise our kids to value themselves for who they are, not what they accomplish. I’m thrilled to welcome Jennifer Wallace, an award-winning journalist and social commentator who covers parenting and lifestyle trends.Jennifer is a contributor to The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post. She is the author of Never Enough: When Achievement Pressure Becomes Toxic — And What We Can Do About It. This is the definitive book on toxic achievement culture and the impact it has on parents and kids. Jennifer tells us all about the groundbreaking findings she uncovered in her book, explaining the societal and economic factors that contributed to the rise of achievement culture. We talk about the prevalence of anxiety and depression in children who go to high-achieving schools. And most importantly, we explore how to combat this phenomenon and support our kids. Jennifer shares fantastic advice on how to teach your kids about their unconditional worth, help them process envy and comparison, and foster a healthy sense of self. We chat a lot about mattering, and why it, well, matters so much, highlighting the importance of healthy interdependence. School might be in session for them, but it is for you (and me!) too. Jennifer recommends getting a PhD in our kids; I will definitely be implementing her advice in my home. The LeVeque family meetings start now! I’m so excited to share Jennifer’s research and perspective, so you can learn from her too.

Blood sugar regulation isn't just for a select few; it's a universal key to health, vitality, and the enjoyment of life. As humans thriving in our beautifully complex world, our goal is to be realistic, and not restrict ourselves.Today, we’re revisiting conversations with previous guests who've shared invaluable tools on how to maintain this crucial balance, helping us lead a healthier, more energetic life. The concept is simple, but the effects are profound; it all comes down to managing your blood sugar levels.&nbsp;Whether it's quinoa or cake, the breakdown of any carbohydrate we consume produces glucose – our primary energy source. The trick is to balance our blood sugar levels, not too high and not too low, to avoid those insulin spikes and crashes. This balance allows for consistent energy and effective fat burn throughout the day.&nbsp;But how do we achieve this balance? It's not about eating less or skipping meals. Rather, it's about focusing on the "#fab4" in each meal – fat, protein, fiber, and greens. This approach helps to naturally stabilize our blood sugar, offering us the gift of vitality and wellbeing.&nbsp;On this roundtable journey, we draw insights from previous episodes featuring brilliant minds like:•&nbsp;Dr. Casey Means:&nbsp;Level Up your Metabolic Health #103•&nbsp;Dr. Ben Bikman:&nbsp;How to Fight Chronic Illness at its Source #83•&nbsp;Dr. Mariza Snyder:&nbsp;Eating to Support Your Hormones and Blood Sugar #195•&nbsp;Dr. Lauren Kelley-Chew:&nbsp;How to use a CGM to Master your Metabolic Health #217•&nbsp;Jessie Inchauspe:&nbsp;Balance Your Blood Sugar, Feel Your Best #144&nbsp;and&nbsp;Join the Glucose Revolution &amp; Hack Your Blood Sugar #176We also cover…00:02:00 — Why Insulin Is the Metabolic Boss (Dr. Ben Bilkman)•&nbsp;Introduction to blood sugar•&nbsp;What is insulin and why is it produced?•&nbsp;Insulin’s role in the brain and brain disorders00:06:00 — Healthy Levels &amp; Development of Insulin Resistance (Dr. Casey Means)&nbsp;•&nbsp;Why we need to keep insulin in a narrow range•&nbsp;How insulin resistance happens•&nbsp;How to become metabolically flexible•&nbsp;Using fat versus glucose for energy consumption•&nbsp;How your gut microbiome influences how your body breaks down carbohydrates00:10:00 — How to Identify if Our Insulin Levels Are Off (Dr. Lauren Kelley-Chew)&nbsp;•&nbsp;Oatmeal isn’t as good for you as you think•&nbsp;Symptoms of blood sugar drops•&nbsp;Recognizing the impacts of sugar on focus and retention•&nbsp;Smart food choices to feel more satisfied and balanced throughout the day•&nbsp;Using&nbsp;Levels&nbsp;to understand how your food is impacting blood sugar00:19:00 — Insulin’s Role in PCOS (Dr. Ben Bilkman)•&nbsp;Why insulin inhibits ovulation for

Dr. Mansor serves as research lead for the wellness product brand, HVMN, where he oversees the company's initiatives and collaborations with universities and research institutions.He's made significant contributions in understanding the role of exogenous ketones, work which forms the basis of our conversation today. I've been using exogenous ketones since 2017, and the technology has improved vastly, starting as salts and moving to esters. Now, the best-of-the-best on the market is a diol.Dr. Latt explains the use and role of exogenous ketones in everything from lowering inflammation to supporting healing through a traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's, and dementia; how exogenous ketones work in the body and their benefits; and why the United States government has contracts with him to provide energy to our elite men and women on the front line.I also share my own experience with ketones and how I’m using them, postpartum, to feel my best.

In today's episode, I interview my friend, the founder, and CEO of Zero Acre Farms, Jeff Nobbs. Jeff is on a mission to create a food company that will replace destructive, inflammatory vegetable oils with healthier, more sustainable oils and fats made through fermentation.&nbsp;Not only has Jeff created a low Omega-6 cooking oil that's neutral in taste with a high smoke point and low oxidation, but it also is more environmentally friendly&nbsp;– just the kind of win-win we look for and love in the food and nutrition space.&nbsp;In this episode, we talk about how widespread the use of seed oils has become, especially in industrial kitchens throughout the country.

Today’s amazing guest is Elise Loehnen, brilliant writer, editor, and podcast host of Pulling the Thread, a podcast focused on pulling apart the stories we tell about who we are and then putting those threads back together. Ultimately, Elise is a seeker and synthesizer pulling together wisdom, traditions, cultural history, and a deep knowledge of healing modalities to unlock new ways to contextualize who we are and why we're here.While she's also co-written 12 books, including five New York Times bestsellers, her first book under her own name is here, and it's called On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and The Price Women Pay To Be Good. The book weaves together history, memoir, and cultural criticism to explore the ways the patriarchy lands in our bodies and embeds itself in our consciousness and what we then police in ourselves and in each other.With awareness, we can begin to recognize these patterns of self restriction, break the story, and move ourselves and each other towards freedom and balance.

Dr. Chris Palmer is taking the internet by storm and for good reason. He's a Harvard psychiatrist and researcher, and his new book, Brain Energy, proposes a comprehensive theory of what causes mental illness, integrating existing theories and research into one unifying theory, the brain energy theory of mental illness, in which he argues that mental disorders are really metabolic disorders of the brain.&nbsp;In today’s conversation, Dr. Palmer shares the science behind how the mitochondria functions in the body, and ultimately affects brain health. He shares how we can support healthy mitochondria and what the recent research in the last 20 years tells us about healing mental illness with metabolic interventions, like the ketogenic diet, and lifestyle strategies like exercise, a good sleep routine, reducing inflammation, and more.It is really amazing to think about the healing and regeneration that can happen for your mitochondria when you use these metabolic interventions, and hearing the life-changing impacts of implementing these practices with amazing stories like he shares in this episode brings so much hope for the future.&nbsp;I can’t thank Dr. Palmer enough for concisely putting this theory into a book that anyone can read. It is such an important message, affirming our ability to really have control over our life and live the best version of it.We also cover…00:02:00 — An Introduction to How Mitochondria Functions in the BodyWhy Dr. Palmer became a psychiatrist and his mother’s struggleHow the mitochondria can influence mental illness&nbsp;The role of mitochondria in the body: Neurotransmitters and hormonesWhy women are more susceptible to mental illnessThe new research backing up his theory00:22:00 — How Metabolic Interventions like the Ketogenic Diet Impact Brain HealthWhat we can do proactively support mental healthMetabolic strategies for improving mitochondrial healthHow COVID can cause mental health challengesCase study: Recovering from chronic schizophrenia using metabolic treatmentsWhy the ketogenic diet is so effective at treating seizures and other brain illnessesHow the brain can use ketones as a fuel source to support and regenerate mitochondria00:46:00 — Lifestyle Strategies That Support Mental HealthDangers of prescription medications that harm metabolismMitochondrial biogenesis through exerciseThe importance of a good sleep routineDr. Palmer’s perspective on supplements&nbsp;Effects of the ketogenic diet on women’s hormonesDr. Palmer and Kelly’s experiences with the ketogenic dietResources:Website: brainenergy.comWebsite: chrispalmermd.comWebsite: The Mental and Metabolic Health Assessment&nbsp;Instagram: @chrispalmermdTwitter: @chrispalmermdFacebook:.facebook.com/ChrisPalmerMDYouTube: Chris Palmer MDRead: Brain Energy: A Revolutionary Breakthrough in...

Today's guest is Laura Vanderkam. She's the author of several time management productivity books, and her TED Talk garnered over 13 million views. Her newest book, Tranquility by Tuesday, gives us nine ways to calm the chaos and make time for what matters most.&nbsp;In today's podcast episode, you are going to learn how to look at your time in weeks, in the 168 hours you have in a week, versus your days.

Dr. Izabella Wentz is an internationally acclaimed thyroid specialist and a licensed pharmacist who has dedicated her career to addressing the root cause of autoimmune thyroid disease after being diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in 2009. She's the author of three books on Hashimoto's and is a New York Times bestseller. Her new book, Adrenal Transformation Protocol, is available now.&nbsp;In today's episode, you're going to learn about the thyroid gland, the adrenal glands, how they play together in the body to balance hormones. Our hormones play such a huge role in how we feel, and it’s so important to understand how our diet and lifestyle choices influence them. We get into everything from how to have better sleep, manage your caffeine intake, and natural ways to balance your circadian rhythm, to how your workouts and work-life balance can impact your hormones. You're also going to get some tips on supplements to take and blood markers to ask your doctor to call for if you think you may have any type of thyroid disease, specifically looking out for Hashimotos.&nbsp;I'm so excited for the book to come out and for people to get their hands on this protocol because it has already helped and impacted thousands of women. I love that Dr. Wentz’s lifestyle recommendations really push back against intermittent fasting and over-caffeinated hustle culture so you can live with more peace and alignment from the inside out. It's a form of self-care and it doesn't happen overnight, but if you can really dedicate your time and energy to it, you can get relief and begin healing.

Dr. Shefali offers a profoundly practical and groundbreaking parenting solution that helps parents actualize their deepest desires for their children. This step-by-step guide disrupts toxic inherited patterns and replaces them with authentic connections that allow us to see and respond to our children for who they are, and who they can become.&nbsp;The book is a minimalist approach to parenting, which is truly getting to the basics, knowing they are good enough, and actually more important than all the other things that we've built up to be important milestones for our children. Focusing on healing ourselves, letting go of control, and allowing for the playful, fun of childhood will lead to the most resilient adults. In this conversation, Dr. Shefali opens my eyes to the incredible opportunity in ditching the rules and need for control.&nbsp;Thank you to Dr. Shefali for spreading this message to parents that doing a good job doesn't mean being perfect, it really just means getting the basics right.

It was released on January 24th of this year and features over eighty global recipes to take you through the heritage of cooking and how healthy food can look (and taste) wildly different for different people in different places.Backed by Goop Press, Maya’s powerful message of accessibility and education sets her apart in a general health-food conversation that gets noisier every day.Her commitment to meeting people where they are promises a seat at the table for so many who’ve gone without one – I so respect and revere her work and community impact.

Today's guest is known as The Spa Doctor and she was the first licensed female naturopathic doctor in California. She’s also the author of two literary standbys in the natural health space, especially as it relates to skin care: Natural Beauty Reset and Clean Skin from Within.&nbsp;It’s an honor to have the esteemed Dr. Trevor Cates on the show today.After years of struggling with skin problems and imbalanced hormones in her teen years, Dr. Cates decided to pursue a career in natural medicine to educate the masses on the intersection between hormones and healthy skin. This led her to Utah, where she’s applied her refined skills and expertise in renowned hotels like the Waldorf Astoria and the St. Regis.Specializing in hormone balance and a holistic approach to skincare, she’s built a practice teaching clients and patients how to support healthy skin through research-backed diet, lifestyle, and product choices – an ethos which forms the basis of our hyper-informative conversation today.We also cover…00:02:10 — Dr. Trevor’s Path to Natural MedicineDealing with the physical and psychological impact of skin issues as a childChanging her college path to focus on natural medicine&nbsp;Becoming the Spa Doctor in UtahSide effects of antihistamine medications&nbsp;Her first experience with a (female) naturopathic doctorImportance of getting to the root cause00:14:46 — How Seasons &amp; Sun Impact Skin HealthHow our skin care needs change with the seasonsThe role the sun plays in our mood, hormones, skin, and sleepSunscreen vs. healthy sun exposureCovering hands, face, and neck – even when drivingHarmful chemical sunscreen ingredients &amp; her zinc-based recommendations00:27:49 — &nbsp;Redefining ‘Clean’ and ‘Natural’ Skincare&nbsp;Plant oils vs. petroleum-based mineral oils&nbsp;Supporting the skin’s natural acidity, barrier oils, and microorganismsWhat to look for (and avoid) in your skincare productsExpiration dates for skin care products &amp; identifying rancid oilsStandard two-year shelf life on Spa Doctor skin care productsEssential oils, oxidation, and photosensitization&nbsp;Credo Beauty and The Detox MarketImportance of testing the pH value in skin care product&nbsp;00:40:30 — Supporting a Healthy Skin MicrobiomeImportance of testing the pH value in skin care product&nbsp;The two biggest skin care mistakes&nbsp;Most cleansers are stripping your skinSwitching from high-Ph cleansers to oil-basedSimplifying your skincare routineExfoliation 101: Finding balance with natural cell turnover00:49:57 — Clearing Up Acne From the Inside OutHormonal changes and gut microbiome as key influences&nbsp;Acne is an inflammatory skin conditionWhat to avoid &amp; what to add to your diet to treat acne from withinAdult acne – what’s happening?How our lifestyle impacts our hormones&nbsp;Natural Beauty Reset and Clean Skin from...

Today's guest is Dr. Thomas Hemingway. He is a holistic and integrative medical doctor, but like so many guests on this show, he didn't start that way. He worked for two decades in ER medicine before making the move to integrative practices that we discuss&nbsp; today.With so much first-hand experience with chronic illness, he committed himself and his career to finding ways to prevent them. And as of February, he has a new book on the shelves that does just that, PREVENTABLE: 5 Powerful Practices To Avoid Disease And Build Unshakeable Health.&nbsp;We unpack those five powerful practices – Food, Movement, Sleep, Gut Health, and Stress – and apply them to family life, the imperfect, impatient, always-something-new lifestyle that keeps parents of young children like us on the lookout for practical, easily applicable advice wherever we can get it.As you’ll hear in this one, Dr. Thomas Hemingway is full of energy and you can be too.I love the motivation and hope that Dr. Hemingway shares with our community today.

You all know I’m a big supporter of healthy, ethically raised animal proteins – and today we get another serving of the good stuff.Today's guest is Farmer Paul Grieve. Paul is the founder of Pasturebird, the largest pasture-raised chicken operation in the world, focused on making true pasture-raised, nutrient-dense chicken, more accessible and affordable to you and me.Paul never set out to be a farmer. His journey began after contracting Lyme disease from a tick bite during his marine corps training, a seemingly innocuous event that would shape the rest of his life. Going Paleo as a means to treat his symptoms, he identified a glaring gap in the market for natural, pasture-raised chicken – especially in Southern California.Soon, his backyard-based business maintained wholesale accounts with both the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dodgers. He was onto something big, and hasn’t slowed down since.I'm so inspired by Paul, his wife Lynsey, the community they've created, and all the good they're putting into this world. It's such a pleasure to introduce you to Pasturebird in the hopes that this knowledge empowers you with a better way of taking care of your family, and the planet as well.We also cover…00:02:55 — Catching Up With Farmer Paul GrieveReliving happy memories at Pasturebird’s farmRemaking the land from 50 years of soil depletion&nbsp;&nbsp;A surprising shift from the marines to farmingContracting Lyme disease from a tick bite and his resulting symptoms&nbsp;How Paleo changed his outlook on health and nutrition&nbsp;Identifying a gap in the market for pasture-raised chickenThe 50 tiny baby chicks that started it allCreating Pasturebird and Primal Pastures thanks to the help of Joel Salatin&nbsp;00:13:45 – Paul’s Shift in Diet &amp; Mindset around Nutrient-Dense Food&nbsp;Paul’s delicious local diet as a Marine in IraqAmerica’s lack of nutrient-dense foods and recommendations&nbsp;Indigenous wisdom around regenerative farmingInspired by the work of Joel SalatinSoil quality over the generationsRoaming vs. stationary livestockKiss The Ground (film)Harms of monocropping and factory farming00:24:34 — Scaling A Regenerative FarmMission to be widely available and affordable&nbsp;Pasturebird is at Sprouts!The key to scaling an eco-friendly chicken business&nbsp;Welcoming technological solutions to inefficiency problems&nbsp;Inventing the Automated Range Coop to support 6,000 chickens00:35:10 – How Healthy Soil Grows Healthy FoodAllowing chickens to forage on pesticide-free landBugs, not drugs – raising clean poultryThe ‘flaws’ in a conventional chicken operationFind Real Chicken Near YouCarbon sequestration in plants, water infiltration, &amp; biodiversity from regenerative farmingSupporting an evolving ecosystem with the reintegration of crops and animalsReimagining and reinventing the future of our food system00:57:54 — Paul’s Health &amp; Home HacksPaleo-forward family diet&nbsp;Education pods and garage learning for their kidsLiving amongst a large family support...

Dr. Lindsey Elmore is a former pharmacist, author, speaker, podcaster, and network marketing leader with a knack for cutting through the confusion and sharing the truth about the myriad of health and wellness choices available. She shares her passion for natural wellness on stages around the world and reaches countless others through her lively social media platforms.We talk about her journey into, and away from, traditional medicine – inspired by her own patient’s journey after tearing her ACL. Leaning into non-traditional practices, she became an expert on the history of both branches of wellness, those defined as “medicine” in 1906, and the expansive natural world of “everything else”.We dabble all over the spectrum in this one, going from the recorded history of pharmacy and healthcare into more modern issues seen in marketing, dosages, drug pricing, evidence-based research, and so much more.Dr. Lindsey is a vibrant truth teller, a guest who’s energy and inspiration for the subject matter can be seen, felt, and heard in every word she speaks.

Her latest workbook, How To Meet Yourself, hits bookstores on December 6th. It's now up for pre-order, and I highly recommend it.In this one – we outline the three levels of her workbook and the impact each has on our understanding of self, jump on the story loop for a ride through human neurology, learn ways to connect a disconnected nervous system, and so much more.If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or even underwhelmed by your life and the world around you, this is the perfect episode for you.

My guest today is Michael Easter, a leading voice on how humans can integrate modern science and evolutionary wisdom for improved health, meaning, and performance. He travels the globe to embed himself with brilliant thinkers and people living at the extremes. He's the author of the bestselling book, The Comfort Crisis, and a professor of journalism at UNLV.We spend this one unpacking the comfort crisis and the complex experiences that seeded this concept in Michael’s mind as something more than an observation of his own life.&nbsp;He covers his nutrition journey, why learning how much he was eating was the key to understanding his own metabolic equilibrium, highlights a few fascinating teachers and researchers that have inspired him along the way, and applies his crisis lens to another, more surprising, neurological gem under siege – creativity in kids.His application of learned lessons is a breath of fresh air. Backed in research, but avoidant of the weeds – his POV is heart-filled and psychological, but not out of reach. Big thanks to Michael for sharing his deep wisdom with us today.We also cover…&nbsp;00:01:24 — Unraveling The Comfort CrisisInspiration for The Comfort CrisisStruggling with drinking and getting soberLearning the reward of walking through discomfortWorking with Donnie VincentHow an extreme excursion outlined his bookNutrition work with Trevor KasheyWhy you eat vs. what you eat with Trevor KasheyPitfalls of enforcing rigid eating rules&nbsp;00:21:55 — Doing the Work: Lifestyle ChangesChoosing foods that are ingredients &gt; foods that have ingredients&nbsp;Positive effects of spending time in nature&nbsp;The Nature Pyramid by Rachel Hopman&nbsp;Working with our&nbsp; hands vs. our heads00:36:54 — Growth Through ChallengeWhat exactly is a misogi challenge?Commenting on the sports science work of Marcus Elliot&nbsp;Inventing a challenge to push past limiting beliefsThe developmental significance of rites of passage&nbsp;Hard things are the ultimate teacher00:48:27 — Creativity &amp; Happiness Across CulturesRemembering the research of Ellis Paul TorranceIQ vs. creativity testing with regard to life outcomes&nbsp;The commercialization of ideas and the creativity crisis among kidsHappiness research in Buton (not a single stoplight)Life is impermanent: Find joy in experiences over material thingsAmerica’s false happiness checklist&nbsp;Get out there and do hard things!Resources:Read: The Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter&nbsp;Shop: The Comfort Crisis by Micheal EasterWebsite: eastermichael.comInstagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/michael_easter/?hl=en" rel="noopener...

You know Dave Asprey. He’s the father of biohacking, a bestselling author and serial entrepreneur – and he is proud to be leading the charge against Kale. Dave unmasks the popular health food as expensive, bitter, and toxic – but it’s far from the only thing to catch heat from this world class truth teller today.We hear all about his new clean coffee brand, Danger Coffee, which is produced with strict anti-mold protocols and enriched with important minerals that are both not seen in most processed, popular American foods and which are actively removed from our systems by harmful ingredients and chemicals.&nbsp;Dave rails against the systematic decline in testosterone across young men, a concerning trend that has ripples throughout every level of society. We hash out the science of soil, why mineral depletion plays such a big part in widespread sickness and disease. And we also learn of his latest high-tech biohacking projects, where he’s deploying AI to train our brains, and bodies, with less time and effort required by traditional methods.&nbsp;Mitochondria and mold are two more hot topics as Dave weaves science and levity into his vast life experience for a direct and to-the-point delivery of the facts.He’s right, we don’t need to be scared. We need to be informed.&nbsp;You will learn about...Getting started in biohacking&nbsp;The 300lb man in the photoThe only good ways to eat kale and spinachDeep dive on the science of soil and the need for trace mineralsDanger Coffee’s role in solving mineral depletionThe testosterone decline among menDave’s low testosterone journey&nbsp;Oxalic acid and phthalic acidRice cakes suckPrioritizing our mitochondria&nbsp;Making clean power in your body&nbsp;Dave on restriction dietsBulletproof diet in a nutshellmoldymovie.comPrevalence of mold toxins in coffeeAflatoxin and other food mold risksEuropean wine and activated charcoal&nbsp;Testosterone is the hormone of desireThe science of good sleepsleepwithdave.comtruedark.comThe future of stem cell banking&nbsp;40 Years of ZenA day in the life of Dave AspreyResources:Website: daveasprey.comInstagram: @dave.aspreyPodcast: The Human Upgrade with Dave AspreyRead: Smarter Not HarderRead: Dave’s booksDanger Coffee: dangercoffee.comFacebook: Danger Coffee OfficialInstagram: @dangercoffeeofficialInstagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/upgradelabs/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer"...

Dr. Tina Bryson is the author of The Bottom Line For Baby and the co-author, with Dan Siegel, of The Yes Brain, The Power of Showing Up, as well as two New York Times bestsellers, the Whole Brain Child and No Drama Discipline. Her body of work has had an immense impact on my parenting journey, which is only part of the reason I’m so excited she’s sharing her time with us today.We touch on many of Dr. Bryson’s core concepts of well-adjusted parenting, most tied to the fact that our little ones are actually brilliant – that their brains create automatic associations, just like ours. Still, we need to be mindful of our explicit and implicit messaging; just because they can make associations doesn’t mean they’re right (or logical), after all.She also gives some amazing and actionable advice on a couple specific behavioral challenges we’re seeing with Bash at home, and blesses us with some other quick tools on empowering kids to be brave, name their feelings, and build resilience. .&nbsp;&nbsp;If you are a new parent or even thinking about having children, I would start reading her books and practicing on your partner. Dr. Bryson’s techniques are revolutionary and she is spearheading an important change in parenting that we are now seeing all over the internet – and she has been for a decade.

Our guest today is Michelle Tam, founder and co-creator of the renowned Nom Nom Paleo universe. Dubbed the Queen of Paleo Cooking, she’s co-authored several cookbooks, The New York Times bestselling Nom Nom Paleo, Food for Humans, Ready or Not, and her most recent Nom Nom Paleo: Let's Go!.&nbsp;She is devoted to sharing paleo, gluten-free and Whole30 recipes, kitchen tips and tricks with a focus on ancestral health, quick and easy eats, and staying paleo while on the go.We chat about her initial discovery of paleo and how it successfully addressed digestion issues earlier in her life before delving into the ways the wide-reaching career that’s come from it has impacted how she and her family eats on a daily basis.Along the way, we also get some great kitchen gadget recommendations, talk about boundaries and social media expectations, and hash out a Cracklin’ Chicken recipe that will work for any busy family.More than a pure paleo evangelist, she thinks people should figure out what works for them in terms of diet, and actually pay attention to how food makes them feel. It’s a fresh take, and one that we’re hearing more and more of in the space as we move away from strict regimens and all-for-one wellness advice.You will learn about...Connecting on episode #201 with Dr. Stacy SimsHow Michelle discovered paleo in 2010The at-home fitness revolution that was P90XRemembering the olestra nightmare&nbsp;Good results with the “primal” diet&nbsp;Becoming a paleo evangelist&nbsp;Shortcuts to deliciousness&nbsp;Singing the praises of Magic Mushroom PowderQuick cooking gadgets and recommendationsCooking with kids in the kitchenThe digestion issues Michelle overcame&nbsp;Knowing yourself and being a mindful eaterAppreciating the Glucose Goddess and her blood sugar hacksLifestyle for diet – and diet for lifestyleInfluencing kids to eat healthy, real foodsBeing frugal with grocery shopping&nbsp;Recommending Costco, Thrive Market, and Trader Joe’sMichelle’s go-to recipes (Cracklin Chicken’)Glass, stainless steel, plastic, and silicone&nbsp;How her books are written and illustrated&nbsp;Being content to wind down the hustle&nbsp;Loving on the Smitten KitchenPutting boundaries on social media expectationsSocial media and connection, or lack or it&nbsp;&nbsp;Resources:Website: nomnompaleo.comBooks: Nom Nom PaleoInstagram: @nomnompaleoTwitter: @nomnompaleoApp: Nom Nom PaleoShop: Nom Nom Paleo Spice BlendsCook: Nom Nom Paleo Recipes&nbsp;Cook: <a...

If you’re anything like me and my family, you may already be familiar (and appreciative!) of the innovative and delicious food brand we’re spotlighting today, Siete Family Foods, a company dedicated to sharing Mexican-American cuisine with those who want or need grain-free options.Today's guests are sister and brother – Veronica Garza, Siete’s Co-Founder, President, and Chief Innovation Officer, and Miguel Garza, Co-Founder and CEO. They’re here to talk about their first cookbook, The Siete Table, which features over a hundred gluten free Mexican-American dishes that span every course and occasion.Of course, we cover the brand’s backstory – after Veronica Garza had many autoimmune issues&nbsp; show up, including lupus, she started to do CrossFit with her family in her parents' backyard. After switching to a grain-free diet, she noticed her joints weren't bothering her anymore, which was the catalyst to starting this company.Miguel and Veronica discuss the recipes they can't wait to share, why sharing these recipes is so special to them, and the inspiring story of how Veronica (as well as other family members) took a huge risk in order to get Siete off the ground.You will learn about...The start of it all: the almond flour tortillaVeronica’s struggles with autoimmune issuesHow her diet restrictions clashed with her cultureComing together as a family: support is everythingPushing through the pain of lupusSix to nine months of diet and lifestyle changes to resolve her&nbsp; symptomsRisking Veronica’s insurance coverage to get startedThe Garza family captures&nbsp; an entrepreneurial spark&nbsp;Expanding the product (chips, seasonings, crunchy shells, etc.)Ethos and mission of Siete Family FoodsFamily first, family second, business thirdAn admittedly bad first company name revealed&nbsp;Seven members of the family: “Siete”Building a soul-aligned companyThe Siete Table: writing a cookbookFavorite recipes from the bookInspirations for The Siete TableResources:Order Siete Table: sietefoods.com/pages/siete-tableFind Siete products near you: sietefoods.com/pages/locatorInstagram: @sietefoodsFacebook: Siete FoodsTwitter: @SieteFoodsConnect with Kelly:kellyleveque.comInstagram: @bewellbykellyFacebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykellyBe Well By Kelly is produced by Crate Media.Mentioned in this episode:BWBK Protein Powder | Grass-fed protein powder OR vegan chocho protein powder with organic monk fruit has exactly what you need to make delicious, blood sugar balancing, nutrient dense smoothies—and nothing you don’t.

Dr. Elisa Song is an integrative pediatrician, pediatric functional medicine expert, and a mama. In her integrative pediatric practice, Whole Family Wellness, she's helped thousands of kids get to the root cause of their health concerns, and she's helped their parents understand how to help their children thrive – mind, body, and spirit – by integrating conventional pediatrics with functional medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and essential oils.Grab your notepad for this one, as we cover all the science, and the just-as-important implementation, of personalized medicine and how important it is to take a custom integrated approach to wellness. Talking through a few examples, including the always-pesky ear infection, Dr. Song describes how a reliance on antibiotics is selling us short.We also do a nearly three-year update on COVID (and long-COVID), the vaccines, what was promised, and what now seems like the more likely reality of it all – that making an informed decision as a family is everyone’s best option.There is so much more information out there than even a couple of years ago. It’s so important that we find as many sources of evidence-backed data as we can – and we’re glad to bring you one of those sources today.

You open Instagram and it hits you right away, a sense of perfection or idealism that seems just a little too shiny, a little too great to be real. And guess what? Most of the time, it isn’t. Today's guest, Dr. Whitney Goodman, assures us of that much and more. She's the radically honest psychotherapist behind the popular Instagram account, @sitwithwhit, the book Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real in a World Obsessed with Being Happy, and the owner of the Collaborative Counseling Center, a private therapy practice in Miami. She helps individuals and couples heal past wounds and create the life they've always wanted.We spend this episode unpacking the false perception of perfection all around us, the world’s constant striving for “happiness,” and why finding center in your life is so much more complicated than that – and should be! Whether it’s content-friendly or not – feeling all the feelings, really embracing them and chershing them, can be as healthy for us as a diverse and nutrient-rich diet.Dr. Goodman offers up a more diverse experience, more layers to really dive into and learn about ourselves and the people we love. We get tips on listening (it’s more than just hearing!), recognizing toxic positivity and understanding why it sells, the importance of values over happiness, and prioritizing focus time – even thirty minutes a day – to help keep your mind sharp.It’s time to get honest about – well, everything! There’s no time to waste striving and stressing over goals that only move further into the distance the harder we work at them. Life is perfect as it is, we’re so glad Dr. Goodman took the time to share this message with us today.You will learn about...Pitfalls of toxic positivityHow to respond instead → Really, truly listening to someoneFinding room for validation beyond happiness&nbsp;Seeing the world in black and whiteSetting realistic goals to actually feel fulfillmentValues &gt; happinessWhitney’s personal experience and growthFeeling all the feelings and that’s okThe power of 30-minute focus blocks&nbsp;Recognizing toxic positivityHow to give feedback to someone who’s “toxically positive”Setting boundaries with friends/family in a compassionate wayHow to find a therapistThe flaw with “time heals all wounds”The “Good Enough” communityUnpacking the perfection trendSocial’s media place in all of thisThe truth about most influencers&nbsp;Resources:Website: sitwithwhit.comInstagram: @sitwithwhitTwitter: @sitwithwhitCollab Counseling: collabcounseling.comRead: Toxic Positivity by Whitney Goodman“Good Enough” Community: sitwithwhit.substack.comConnect with Kelly:kellyleveque.comInstagram: @bewellbykellyFacebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykellyBe Well By Kelly is produced by

The esteemed Dr. Jeffrey Bland, an internationally recognized leader in the nutritional medicine field, joins the show today. He’s a biochemist by training, co-founding the Institute for Functional Medicine in 1991 while coming to be known to many as The Father of Functional Medicine.&nbsp;Dr. Bland invites us into his deep wisdom and vast experience as we explore his path to, and away from, traditional medicine, before delving into the issues we see in modern healthcare and what the rapidly changing space might look like in the near future.&nbsp;Today’s healthcare ills, as he points out, can be tied to money’s omnipresence in the market, which has urged the prioritization of disease treatment – for profit’s sake, mostly – rather than focusing on promoting societal wellness as its table-stakes mission.We also talk about his latest project, Big Bold Health, which launched in 2018, through which he's on a mission to transform the way people think about one of nature's greatest innovations, the mighty immune system. That’s right, the gut remains front and center as Dr. Bland breaks down the differences between boosting and balancing, benefits to eating the rainbow, and much more.By advocating for the power of immuno-rejuvenation to enhance immunity at a global level, he’s really doing some important work for the world – work that generations in the future (and today!) can look back upon and be so thankful for.You will learn about...When Dr. Bland started to think for himselfCircumventing traditional medicineDiseasecare vs. healthcareMoney as the pitfall of modern medicineFocusing on what it means to be wellBig Bold HealthThe super system: nervous system and immune system&nbsp;Balancing vs. boosting your immune systemWhat are zombie cells?Exploring the link between damaged cells and inflammationThe benefits of autophagy and how to activate it in your bodyWriting your own “book of life” - your genes are not your destinyGene plasticity and epigeneticsDiet as the unlockLearning about phytonutrientsBenefits of Himalayan tartary buckwheatWhy we should be eating the rainbowLooking ahead to the future of healthcareResources:Website: jeffreybland.comThe Institute for Functional Medicine: ifm.orgBig Bold Health: bigboldhealth.com&nbsp;Instagram: @drjeffreyblandLinkedin: Jeffrey Bland PHDEnjoy 20% off Big Bold Health with code BEWELL20 [Expires 11/30/2022].

Dr. Anthony Jay is the President of the International Medical Research Collaborative, a nonprofit organization based in Boston that trains medical students from around the globe. He is also an author and renowned expert on estrogenics, substances that merely act like estrogen in our body, oftentimes tricking it into negative chain reactions in our health – even cancer.So, where are these tricky imposters in the products around us? And, how can we avoid them in the future? Dr. Anthony details the long list in his book, and is kind to share many examples in our conversation today. Specifically, he touches on fragrances, petroleum products, soy products, and mold, which is so much more common in shelf products like coffee, grains, and peanuts than you might imagine.We also talk about the role that the gut microbiome, an old familiar friend, plays in our processing of these chemicals, and draw a very real connection between the harms of estrogenics and everyday plastics like water bottles and shower liners.If you’re listening to this and looking around your life with a newfound stress, know that you’re not alone in this collective journey to a more natural, non-toxic, and simple life. Knowledge is key. Understanding complexities like those presented today is the first step toward making positive changes. And we’re here to help you get there, every step of the way.You will learn about...What are estrogenics?&nbsp;Estrogenics vs. testosteroneLink between estrogenics and an increased risk of cancer&nbsp;Common products and ingredients to avoid broken into three categories: food, plastics and personal careMajor players to know: mold, red dye, flax and soyChemical risks of plastic water bottlesSources of other plastics to avoidWhy “BPA-free” isn’t good enoughThe science of estrogen in plasticHigh estrogen leading to early puberty in girlsCommon home products to be aware ofWhat these chemicals do to your hormonesBenefits of sweating and sauna use to expel chemicals&nbsp;Resources:Linkedin: Anthony G.

It’s no secret that school lunches have been in decline for decades. Chances are, the food you remember from school would give you nightmares if your child’s cafeteria served it in 2022. Yes, Michelle Obama did some good work in the space – and progress has been made. But as we learn today, there’s a lot of work left to do when we’re talking about truly healthy school lunches.My guest today, Barbara Mechura, school nutrition director and holistic health coach, has dedicated her career to shifting this narrative toward scratch-made meals. We learn that, while it’s certainly more work, these mindfully prepared meals lead to a better outcome for everyone involved (students and staff).&nbsp;It’s time we stopped taking the easy way out with pre-packaged convenience foods that create serious long-term problems for students’ health. Barbara shares how we can get involved in our school district’s food decisions, and that they probably need our help.You will learn about...Barbara’s backgroundNegative impact of processed school lunches&nbsp;The work that goes into from-scratch school mealsWhat parents can do to help their school systemTips for distracted eatingFocusing during mealtimeResources:LinkedIn: Barbara MechuraTwitter: @bmechuraThe Lunchbox from Chef AnnConnect with Kelly:kellyleveque.comInstagram: @bewellbykellyFacebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykellyBe Well By Kelly is produced and published by Crate Media.Mentioned in this episode:BWBK Protein Powder | Grass-fed protein powder OR vegan chocho protein powder with organic monk fruit has exactly what you need to make delicious, blood sugar balancing, nutrient dense smoothies—and nothing you don’t.

Feeding kids is hard, even when you’re an expert in the field. Jennifer Anderson is a registered dietician and has a Master's of Science in Public Health from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Her journey with childhood feeding started when her 3-year old, as she says, fell off the growth chart. What she discovered included more questions than answers – at first.In 2017, she founded Kids Eat In Color, a popular online resource that helps children and families from all backgrounds have better nutrition and mental health via access to expert, actionable information. Prior to starting Kids Eat In Color, she coordinated youth nutrition programs at a food bank, performed research in inner city food deserts, and consulted for the USDA.Our conversation is another mom-centric goldmine of real world advice and reliability. Jennifer and her brand take all parents as they are; no food is good or bad – and if you did your best, what you did was good. Even if our hurdles, and those of our kids, seem unique at the moment – we’re all in this together.You will learn about...How Jennifer got into children’s nutrition&nbsp;Strategy vs. control with eating habits&nbsp;Raising competent eaters&nbsp;Using positive framing and avoiding confrontationParenting with a thick skin&nbsp;Emergency meals (eggs are a safe bet)Discussing nutrition with your kidsKnowing that your best is good&nbsp;&nbsp;Resources:Kids Eat in ColorLearn: BetterBites® CoursesInstagram: @kids.eat.in.colorLinkedIn: Jennifer Anderson MSPH, RDNConnect with Kelly:kellyleveque.comInstagram: @bewellbykellyFacebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykellyMentioned in this episode:Drink LMNTThank you LMNT for sponsoring this episode!

It took years of trial and error for Dr. Becky Campbell to discover she suffered from Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, a condition which meant her body couldn’t break down histamines. Certain foods – even the “healthy” ones – would leave her with a crippling migraine or feeling exhausted. Extreme heat and cold were also big no-nos.&nbsp;The game changed when she began to explore histamine intolerance through a functional lens. She cured her body and formulated the four phase histamine reset plan that helps you identify your lifestyle and food triggers and eliminate the ingredients causing you to feel bad.&nbsp;We discuss how you can spot if you have histamine intolerance, the dietary steps that will combat a myriad of issues such as vertigo, allergies, migraines, and the supplements that can support your system.

It’s hard to believe that holistic psychiatrist, Dr. Kelly Brogan, spent the initial segment of her career connecting mental issues to the “right” pharmaceutical prescriptions. After a U-turn in 2010, she replaced the prescription pad for a root-cause resolution approach to psychiatric syndromes and symptoms. Now, she encourages her community to turn inward, using nutrition, lifestyle, and meditation as a springboard for the profound, emotional shedding that leads to deeper healing.&nbsp;In this episode, we examine what it looks like to reparent your emotions and nurture your own safe container as a path out of victimhood.

Dr. Austin Perlmutter builds the bridge between traditional health education and execution by examining how our ability to make good choices, not only has a knock on effect on dietary decisions but on our mental health as well.

Dr. Ana-Maria Temple's personal journey is an inspiring pain-to-purpose tale so many mothers out there can relate to. Exhausted from the dead end approach of traditional medicine to treat her young children's allergies, asthma, and severe eczema, she purged her family pantry, much to the disapproval of the medical and mommy world, and transformed her family's food and lifestyle habits.

It took Dr. Will Siu 15 years of medical training and a slew of certifications from UCLA, the University of Oxford, and Harvard Medical School before realizing he was not truly happy. After years chasing happiness and career gratification through hoops dictated by what he defines as “perceived values,” he found himself depressed, empty, and searching for true purpose.&nbsp;After encountering the world of psychedelics through a friend, he decided to explore their potential for healing – first for himself, and now for his patients. After my traumatic birth experience with Sebastian, I turned to Dr. Will Siu for the emotional release I couldn’t get from sitting on a couch. The guttural shrieks and cries I expressed during that 90-minute session in his LA office finally closed the circle to the traumatic loop I had been locked in.&nbsp;In this episode, we unfold Dr. Will Siu’s fascinating career trajectory and enlightening perspective on therapy and psychedelics, debunking a few myths along the way.

In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones demystifies female and male hormonal issues by shining a light on the most common symptoms and challenges she sees her clients go up against.&nbsp;We’re a generation of hormonally-challenged individuals who’ve spent too long brushing symptoms off as “just the way things are.” To make matters worse, testing is time sensitive and so the hormonal cycle can find itself in a perpetual state of dysregulation. Add toxins, stress-inducers, and technology into the mix, and it’s not surprising that our bodies get overwhelmed and stuck in a yo-yo state of fight or flight.&nbsp;Plus: we break down circadian rhythms and the knock-on effect they have on your insides.

MD, midwife, and herbalist, Dr. Aviva Romm, is lifting the lid on the hidden hormone pandemic. With over 80% of American women reaching out to a doctor with hormone concerns, it’s a subject that needs to be front and center of the collective health conversation. Instead, all too often, women are overwhelmed by a spectrum of health issues swept under the rug – by society and the medical field – as part and parcel of “being a woman.”Your gender is not a diagnosis. Painful periods and menopause, endometriosis,&nbsp; PCOS, and fertility problems are cues telling us something is out of balance in the body. Thankfully, Dr. Romm is helping women self-assess their internal landscape, empowering us with the knowledge, data, and actionable steps to rewire our hormonal health.&nbsp;In this episode, she explains the symptoms to look out for from puberty to menopause, and the lifestyle tools to employ to nourish your body – and hormone levels – from the inside out.&nbsp;You will learn about...The hidden hormone pandemic&nbsp;The symptoms to look out forDecoding the term “hormonal”Food and environmental triggersReprogramming taste buds&nbsp;Ways to balancing your hormonesResources:Website: avivaromm.comInstagram: @dr.avivarommRead: “Hormone Intelligence: The Complete Guide to Calming Hormone Chaos and Restoring Your Body’s Natural Blueprint”Thanks to Sound Tea for sponsoring this episode!

Dr. Afrouz Demeri is a naturopathic doctor focused on women’s health. The more women she saw, she started to realize that the root cause of most women’s health struggles was in their childhood, whether it was how physical they were, how they ate, their medical treatment, emotional status, or any other number of issues. She started to focus on pediatrics, but there were still issues, so she started to look at pregnancy and the parents to help prevent many of the issues she was seeing. During her own pregnancy, she became aware of all the personal health issues she had that nobody was testing for, and she became passionate about helping couples have healthy children — starting before they try getting pregnant.You will learn about...How we can impact the future health of children before birthGiving children the best chance for successWhat you can and can’t control—and being okay with thatHow who you are impacts what you should eatGetting a full hormone assessment to see where you standIncreasing sperm qualityMaking one change at a timeSimplifying and minimizing your lifeResources:trimesterzerocourse.comAimforwomen.comInstagram: @drdemeripristinehydro.comConnect with Kelly:kellyleveque.comInstagram: @bewellbykellyFacebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykellyBe Well By Kelly is a production of Crate MediaMentioned in this episode:BWBK Protein Powder | Grass-fed protein powder OR vegan chocho protein powder with organic monk fruit has exactly what you need to make delicious, blood sugar balancing, nutrient dense smoothies—and nothing you don’t.

Today’s guests are two friends and people I have looked up to for a long time, Diana Rodgers and Robb Wolf. Diana Rodgers is a registered dietitian with a clinical practice helping people recover their health through real food. Her blog, Sustainable Dish, started as a healthy, locally-sourced recipe site, but has grown into a much deeper dive into food systems. She has also spent the last 18 years living and working on an organic farm that grows vegetables and raises pasture-raised meat. She met Robb Wolf in 2011 after reading his book, “The Paleo Solution,” which has sold nearly a million copies. Robb trained as a research biochemist, and he discovered that the optimal human diet is one that most closely mimics our ancestral ways of eating before the invention of ultra-processed foods.&nbsp;Both of them have dealt with severe digestive issues, have minds that question everything, and are always looking to find the truth behind commonly held beliefs. In addition to their firsthand production and deep backgrounds in science, they have read many books, interviewed experts, and attended a remarkable number of conferences around agriculture. Their new book and film “Sacred Cow” is going to debunk, using real science, the lies you’ve been told about red meat. I truly believe that our bodies — and the world — will be healthier because of them.You will learn about...(04:01) Talking about the health risks and nutrition of red meat(13:39) The protein leverage hypothesis(16:37) Body composition or blood test changes after increasing protein intake(22:44) Lowering carb intake while breastfeeding(28:05) Debunking some of the myths causing guilt around red meat(45:33) The social justice benefits of meat(52:45) About Diana’s farm(56:52) Sourcing the right protein and feeling better about it(01:01:54) Eating like a nutrivore(01:06:14) The case against TMAO and MTORResources:Learn more: sacredcow.infoRead: “Sacred Cow”sustainabledish.cominstagram.com/sustainabledishtwitter.com/sustainabledishrobbwolf.comjoin.thehealthyrebellion.comtwitter.com/robbwolfinstagram.com/dasrobbwolfRead: “The Paleo Solution”Connect with Kelly:kellyleveque.comInstagram: @bewellbykellyFacebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bewellbykelly/" rel="noopener noreferrer"...

After healing their own health problems by eliminating sugars and processed foods from their diets, Serenity and Joe Carr set out to change the baby food industry — and they have. They found that there was a hole in the market and that the availability of healthy baby food was… well, they didn’t exist. This led to co-founding the family-owned and operated Serenity Kids. So many baby foods are deficient in protein while being packed with processed sugars and grains, plus lacking in brain-healthy fat, but Serenity Kids isn’t one of them.

Hello, new friends! My name is Kelly LeVeque. I’m a certified clinical nutritionist, celebrity health coach, and bestselling author. I am a surfer’s wife, a new mom, and a female entrepreneur trying to juggle it all.I created Be Well by Kelly in 2012 on a mission to help simplify the science of nutrition. I created the Fab Four to help my clients take ownership of their food choices, feel good in their bodies, and achieve their goals. Instead of eliminating, depriving, and restricting, we shift that energy and focus on adding to our plate, nourishing ourselves, and caring for ourselves instead. The Fab Four Lifestyle embodies a spirit of positivity around food and nutrition.&nbsp;I want to make choices, not cheats. I want to live in balance, quiet my inner perfectionist, and never feel like my goals are out of reach. I want to love the way I look AND feel. I want to be proactive about my long-term health and wellness. I want to have a positive relationship with food for the rest of my life.On this show, I will interview my favorite people — doctor, researchers, farmers, entrepreneurs, moms, my best girlfriends, and family — with the goal of giving you the good stuff: the positive takeaways, the tools and tips that will help you feel and be well, and a dose of motivation to keep you going.Connect with Kelly:KellyLeVeque.comInstagram: @bewellbykellyFacebook: facebook.com/bewellbykellyTwitter: @bewellbykellyBe Well By Kelly is a production of Crate Media
