Show Summary: "With hyperbaric oxygen therapy, it's not just about healing wounds. It gives you cellular energy to have more physical energy." 

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a treatment for several severe conditions that make you breathe 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber. The pressure helps the body absorb oxygen and hyperoxygenates blood plasma, which then helps fight bacteria and promotes healing. It is a powerful yet underutilized therapy that is unknown to many. 

That's why we are lucky to have with us in this episode a powerful woman with whom I share a love for HBOT. A sponsored triathlete and an ambulance EMT, she was bound for a career in law enforcement. A torn shoulder from a wrestling match paved the way for her to discover the power of HBOT by how it had helped her heal faster.  

So today, Alex Williams of The Holistic Hyperbarics Wellness Clinic will discuss her advocacy for HBOT and her mission of making this therapy more accessible and affordable for those who need it, even fighting her way for funding and accreditation. Her passion for helping others through this therapy and helping them live better lives through healing is genuinely remarkable. 

Tune in to our episode and find out if you may also need this kind of therapy in your healing journey. Or you can also help spread the word about it.

Show Highlights:

What's the difference between hard-shell and softshell chambers?

Alex Williams 8:11

• Hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers come in two distinct categories, a hard-shell chamber, and a soft-shell chamber. Soft-shell chambers allow you to go to 1.3 atmospheres, which is around 10 ½ to 11 feet of diving, and you can dive from 10 ½ feet to 66 feet with a hard-shell chamber. So it gives you a lot more variability depending on the patient's presentation and what they need.

What does it do to our body for those who have just heard about HBOT?

Alex Williams 11:48

• You probably all have already been in a hyperbaric chamber for your listeners who are all new. It's called an airplane. We put you in a controlled space. And we increase the amount of pressure in that control space. And what that does is it takes oxygen molecules and compacts them into a more controlled space.

Tell us more about your holistic hyperbaric's expansion plans. How are you getting this to more and more people?

Alex Williams 23:48

• We are manufacturing our own chambers. They'll be available next year. And we have patented technology to work inside the chamber. And so we're excited about that.

Show Summary: "Healing doesn't happen overnight. And the stress around your Healing could be more detrimental than the toxins that you're exposing yourself to."

Contrary to popular belief, maintaining good health habits is not as expensive as you think. We have to keep things simple, and we just have to go back to basics. 

So for this episode, we have our frequent flier once again, Ryan Blaser of Test my Home, discuss the different life aspects that we should always keep in check for us to stay in good shape. Holistic Healing is not just about exercise and food; it also includes the environment and mindset.

We do not have to follow complicated procedures to be healthy, and we just have to learn essential habits. We do not have to pressure ourselves into doing things that are hard for us to accomplish. We have to be comfortable with our bodies, love what we do, and always choose joy. 

Listen to our sharing as good friends and pick up a few lessons on keeping yourself and your family's good health. We do not want to keep this knowledge to ourselves. Please share this episode with all of your family and loved ones who you know can benefit and live a happier and healthier lifestyle.

Exceptional Highlights:

• Movement stimulates your brain. It creates neurotransmitters that make you feel good &  motivated.
• Eat to live; not live to eat..
• When you analyze dust, it's made up of dead skin cells, insect parts, insect feces, broken down foams, and plant material. If you ingest that, it will be a toxic load in your body. 

Show Highlights:

Where should we start?

Ryan 6:17

• We should start with fitness. I'm no fitness instructor, but I used to be quite overweight. You can get detailed with how you work out and what you do. When should you do cardio, when should you do the lifting, but,  get simple with it and move your body and do what makes you happy. Do what you feel good doing.

What about nutrition? 

Juanique 13:45

• Get eight servings of vegetables a day. People say that's so hard, and eight servings are like half a cup of compacted veggies. You can start with four cups of vegetables.

What about mental health and spirituality?

Ryan 37:13

• I know that in my life, when I start to feel stressed out or feel overwhelmed or sad, one of the things that help is to think of 12 things you're thankful for. Or do a random nice thing for somebody else.

Show Summary: "The Gutsy Membership's Order of Healing is purely based on science; it's the depths of science and healing into a simple roadmap." 

You, becoming self-healing champions, has always been our top priority since the beginning of this podcast. This is why we continuously create content and programs that will help you better understand how to heal your body with less struggle, confusion, & frustrations. 

We know how challenging it is for others to heal, from a mind level & cellular level. Because from the past years, we have been programmed to address only the symptoms, not the root cause. And here at the Gutsy Health podcast, we always want to figure out what possible reasons contribute to one's current sickness on a deeper level. May it be the endocrine disruptors you had when you were still a child.

This inspired the creation of the Gutsy Membership's "The Order of Healing," which has the simplest & most straightforward approach to healing. And in this episode, Juanique & Gina share its importance up to the energetic & cellular level so healing can smoothly flow without band-aiding everything & feeling like you’re carrying a boulder uphill. 

Please share this with your friends and family who have been looking for simpler ways to heal. Join our membership program if you are ready to become a self-healing expert this year!

Exceptional Highlights:

• You got to get your gut running like a well-oiled machine to set you up for healing.
• If you're eating a lot of fiber and a lot of highly nutritious foods, you're already detoxing. Still, our issue is that the standard American diet doesn't supply those foods that give the liver the necessary molecules to detoxify.
• When the body controls the mechanisms, it will most likely win because the body's designed to do that.

Show Highlights:

First order of healing — Mindset

Juanique 12:12

• Mindset is exploring your shadow self & your subconscious belief systems that your body is programmed to run from. Mindset is diving into traumas that have put your brain into a fight or flight response almost 24/7.

Second order of healing — Mitochondria

Juanique 16:22

• Mitochondria are the batteries to your cells. The healthier the mitochondria are in your body, the more energy and resources you will have to have your body heal itself.

Third order of healing — Gut

Juanique 20:08

• Your gut is the root system of the rest of your body. And if the roots in a tree are dying, it dies. So if you have inflammation in your gut, if your gut is on fire, that's like the root system to a tree is on fire.

Show Summary: "Ketamine allows us to feel safe. It is really powerful medicine that gets us into a sense of well-being & enables us to do the inner healing work or inner growth work we're longing to do." 

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression are now experienced by more people, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Contracting the disease or having the pain of losing loved ones from it triggers these on people. These can be debilitating and cause people to feel powerless, unmotivated, and worthless. 

So today, we are lucky to have Dr. Michael Sapiro, a clinical psychologist, psychedelic-assisted therapist, Dharma teacher, meditation researcher specializing in utilizing therapies and modalities, who helps retrain the brain and heal people from these psychological problems.

Dr. Sapiro shares how Ketamine can be used for therapy in helping people deal with these psychological problems. Listen as he walks us through the process of how the Boise Ketamine Clinic facilitates Ketamine-assisted Psychotherapy. He explains how this can promote faster healing than traditional psychotherapy, thus helping more people claim back their power over their lives.

Tune in and find out how this therapy can help lots of people. Please share this episode with someone you know who needs it, too.

Exceptional Highlights:

• The ego will hold on to its defenses for survival. Those of us who want to change and are so ready to do the healing and the growth work, with Ketamine, we dissolve the hold that we have over our ego. 
• I work with people with severe trauma, and I've never seen a flip out on Ketamine. And I have seen some flip-outs on DMT. But that's because the egos are dissolving and dying. 
• Our bodies are not our own; we can do our best to take care and love our bodies, strengthen them, and keep them fit and healthy as best as we can at the same time knowing that they will decay and die.  

Show Highlights:

What is Ketamine Therapy?

Dr. Sapiro 6:34

• Ketamine was used initially as an anesthetic. What they found was people who were put under, like dental surgeries, reported that their depression was gone for months at a time. 

Can you explain what Ketamine does to the ego?

Dr. Sapiro 17:28

• How Ketamine functions is it puts the nervous system in a state that we would consider more parasympathetic, a little bit downregulated. Because your body is on its own, you're essentially dissociated, but you can still feel and be in the body. But it has a sense of freedom and ease.

Show Summary: "We have psychological problems that food alone cannot fix. But if we get to the belief systems that created a neurological pathway in our brains that set us up for failure, we can reverse it. "

We do not have a guest for this episode as Gina and I catch up on what's happening with our lives. People were asking how I was after Tristin died, so I want to share my healing journey around this trauma. I know that a lot of you out there are dealing with hardships on your own.  

And so we discuss how you can face your trauma and your shadow self to heal truly. Because there are problems that food alone can't fix, and our greatest fears give us the feeling of being unsafe and unloved. We have to dig deeper into our beings to heal truly. But we can't do this alone, and we need someone to guide us. And sometimes, we also need substances like Ketamine which we discussed in Episode 8, to facilitate faster processes. 

If you are experiencing trauma, tune in to this episode. We are here to help you by opening the Gutsy Health Membership soon, and we’ll have the mindset ninja, Britt Lefkoe with us, who’ll guide us in facing our shadow self. Please follow our Instagram account for more information.

Exceptional Highlights:

• If you have brain fog, that is a sign that your body and your brain have been burnt out. And it didn't start a year ago; it has been probably for a couple of years. Because your brain wasn't meant to be in such a high provision, say it's kind of an adrenal burnout.
• We’re hoping that these beautiful therapies are going to be legalized next year. Psilocybin is another one, so doctors can use it in clinical settings for cancer studies.
• 90% of hormonal issues and health issues could be resolved with good sleep and nutrition. 

Show Highlights:

What does not yawning anymore say about our body?

Juanique 30:00

• Yawning is a parasympathetic response we're supposed to do. So sad that many of us have stopped doing it. 

How about not dreaming when you sleep? 

Juanique 30:54

• If you're not dreaming, your body is not relaxed enough to go into that deep REM to do some serious healing. 

What happens when we don't sleep well?

Juanique  41:43

• If you have sleep disturbances, you have an overstimulated nervous system. You're in fight or flight all the time, and being in that state is disrupting your digestion, absorption, cortisol levels, sex hormones, and the way your body detoxifies.

Show Summary: ”The power of how we feel emotionally & physically is at the end of our fork.”

The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted physical effects on those who caught the virus. But physical effects are for those who got sick. Meanwhile, the rest of the world struggles with psychological impacts like depression and anxiety. What can we do to address these physical and psychological issues? Do we meditate, change our routines, and take medicines to cope? Or can we also turn to our natural medicine - food? But it isn't about fad diets or being an extreme vegan or an extreme carnivore or even restricting yourself from eating certain foods. It is just about knowing which foods are good for your body. 

In this episode, we are super thrilled to have Dr. Uma Naidoo. She is the first woman "triple threat" in the food and medicine space since her skills are the perfect mix of the professionals that this world needs at our present time: a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, a professional chef, and a trained nutrition specialist. Simply one of a kind, she shares how we can have healthy lifestyle changes starting with food to reverse our illnesses and optimize our physical and mental health. 

Listen now and remember to share the episode with your family and loved ones.

Exceptional Highlights:

• Proper gut-healing takes about 28 days. 
• Fermented foods are extremely helpful in lowering inflammation. 
• Fast food and restaurants use processed vegetable oils, which are more cost-effective but pro-inflammatory for our bodies. 

Show Highlights:

How important is nutrition in dealing with mental health issues? 

Dr. Naido 09:21

• It is a well-known fact that in many physical conditions, if you work on a nutritional plan and change up your diet, that can impact change.

Can you dive into that a little bit more about the gut-brain connection?

Dr. Naido 10:18

• The gut and brain, organs that are far apart from the body but originate from the same cells in the embryo, divide up to form organs, and then they remain connected throughout life. 

Are there specific nutrients or specific foods for mental health?

Dr. Naido 32:46

• Prebiotic foods because most people think they have to take a supplement. But prebiotic foods nurture those gut microbes, and they can be found on simple foods like garlic, leeks, onions, the allium family, bananas, oats.

Show Summary: "Having healthy, firm, loving boundaries around food is not punishing your child. It's teaching them a skill that will keep them healthy throughout their lives." 

In our fast-paced world, we have gotten used to eating instant or processed food or food that is easy to prepare. Most of the time, we order from fast-food restaurants. If we go to the grocery, we skip checking labels and shoot whatever we think is delicious inside our grocery carts. But are we aware of the content of these foods and their effects on mental health? Especially with children who are still developing their brains? 

For this episode, we have Dr. Joel "Gator" Warsh with us, who discuss mental development in children. He is an integrative and holistic pediatrician who also has a Master's Degree in Epidemiology and Community Health. He balances Western medicine and natural medicine in treating his patients. Listen as he unravels why mental health issues in children are doubling these past few years and what we can do to better care for our children. 

Tune in to this episode to learn how to better care for you and your children's mental health. Please share it with people you care about, too!

Exceptional Highlights:

• Stress influences mental health.
• We weren't programmed to be stressed out all day, every day. That changes your body, your hormones.
• We have to go back to the kitchen and practice that skill. We have to learn and become friends with cooking again.

Show Highlights:

Is there some holistic regimen that you can put together with medication to address sensory disorders? What are their commonalities, and how are they different?

Dr. Gator 15:04

• Every child is different, and every diagnosis is different. So there's not one thing that works for everyone. But there's one commonality across these which is inflammation - the leading cause and contributor to all of these,

Do you think some kids get misdiagnosed with disorders like ADHD and things like that? What if they just needed to clean up their diet?

Dr. Gator 33:11

• For sure. ADHD is a label. There's no specific test where you have these lab numbers in there for you. 

Can we do detoxification for kids?

Dr. Gator 41:40

• Whenever we're doing detoxification for kids, the place to start is with natural detoxification. So you first think about the three ways you get things out of your body- poop, pee and sweating.

Show Summary: "This is the future, and it is how I see our world changing: by becoming our own healing experts."

We talk about our favorite topic: healing the gut, in this episode. This episode is similar to the first class of our Gutsy Health Membership, where we help our members understand how the nervous system and the gut are intertwined. For our long-time listeners, we bet you already know what you should prioritize in the gut-healing, but let's discuss it even more.

Nowadays, we normalize gut imbalances, which is not what most people should experience, like being bloated after every meal. Here in the Gutsy Health podcast, we always tell you the symptoms of a leaky gut. And we'll never get tired of reminding you about it because it is not normal, and normal is having a well-functioning & healed body. 

Remember, stress ruins your gut. And in our modern world, we always sit in front of our computers while we work the whole day. Sadly, it puts our bodies in a fight or flight response. And this does not go well in helping our body heal. 

So hop on and listen to this episode and continue the education on being a self-healing champion!

Exceptional Highlights:

• Eight out of 10 people have digestive issues.
• Check your poop because your poop is a great sign and tell of what's going on internally.
• If we want to reverse health problems, we need to ensure our absorption is on point. 

Show Highlights: 

What are the most improperly prescribed medications?

Juanique 1:58

• PPIs (proton pump inhibitors) are antacids. These are one of the most improperly prescribed medications in America. It puts you at higher risk for cancer if taken for so long. 

 What are some signs of gut dysfunction?

Juanique 5:13

• Skin disorders like if you have eczema or psoriasis; then there's the lump in your throat feeling; another one is burping. A lot of people get really burpee. And so that's a sign of low hydrochloric acid and digestive dysfunction.

What is a way to know you're not digesting your protein correctly?

Juanique 16:53

• If you have stinky gas. 

What should we be introducing more of as we try to heal our guts?

Gina 32:09

• Things like aloe vera, bone broth, turmeric are good anti-inflammatory foods and compounds that heal the gut.

Show Summary: "I want to provide incredible services for cancer patients and help fund the means for their treatments and let them realize they're not alone."

Most of Juanique's followers and listeners know that Tristin reveals himself to her through rainbows, and she always sees rainbows. She sees them everywhere. During a friend's funeral, she saw an upside-down rainbow that seemed to be going around the sun. That same day, she received a DM from someone on Instagram who was also present at the funeral, and she thanked her for all the things she had done for the cancer community. 

But here are Juanique's thoughts. "I have done nothing but run from the cancer community because I was still healing from mental trauma. But I won't be running anymore. Seeing the rainbow and the sun fueled me to have bigger plans for the cancer community."

So in this episode, Juanique shares her vision - her plans and dreams for cancer and Lyme patients - by opening the Provo Health Clinic. There is not enough good mental support for people struggling with cancer and their families, and it's appalling. Having cancer in the family feels like your world is being completely shattered, and your sense of safety is ripped from you. But Juanique is here for you. We hear you, so you will never be alone in your battle.

Do you have cancer or know someone who has cancer? Listen to this episode because there is hope, and we can help each other get through the challenges of this sickness.

Exceptional Highlights: 

• The brain is the body's thermostat.
• One of the most underestimated keys to healing lies in the nervous system.
• My friend Krista, who has finished her cancer and radiation treatments for Stage Three breast cancer, will help me create a ketamine clinic. 

Show Highlights: 4 

What is a conscious healing clinic?

Juanique 15:50

• A conscious healing clinic integrates consciousness with nutrition and lifestyle changes that empower people to learn how to heal themselves.

Why are there not more hyperbaric clinics?

Juanique 17:34

•  It is way too hard and too expensive to open up a hyperbaric clinic.

Why do you want to open a hyperbaric clinic?

Juanique 17:47

• This isn't about business. This is about helping people promote health. It's for a purpose. It's for a cause.

Why do you feel the need to help families of people with cancer? 

Juanique 18:45

• I understand that when cancer families are feeling desperation, they need a team, a support system, and need help. They don't need to mortgage their house; they don't need to feel like they will become bankrupt from this.

Show Summary: "There is a lot of mindset shifting when people embark on a healing journey. It can sometimes be scary or isolating, and we want to break down those barriers for our members."

Our mission here at the Gutsy Health Podcast has always been to help people become self-healing champions. And a champion is always a hero, never a victim. Being sick, especially with a debilitating disease, can cause negative thinking, insecurity, and loneliness. We are here to delete all of the negativities that cause you to get more sick by helping you change your mindset and making you feel that you are not alone. 

The current model for our health care is just not working. As we are truth seekers, we only want the best for you, and certain practices cause harm rather than good for our bodies. We want to empower more people with knowledge and skills that allow them to think about their health critically. We share whatever knowledge we have through this podcast and the Gutsy Health Academy. 

We believe that people just need guidance on the basics when it comes to healing. Please tune in to this episode to know when we are once again opening doors for our Gutsy Health Academy.

We invite you to join us and be a hero in your self-healing journey.   

ENROLL NOW IN THE GUTSY HEALTH ACADEMY & START BEING AN EXPERT OF YOUR HEALTH WITH JUANIQUE & GINA !

Exceptional Highlights: 

• Our body is a complex system that all works together. Our gut influences our hormones, our mindset affects our hormones, and all these things work together. 
• The present medical model is just like a machine - for doctors to see as many people as possible in a short amount of time. But that's not sufficient to help people understand their bodies and to help them know what they need to do to heal and reverse a lot of their ailments. 
• Healing should be in flow. If you want to go from victim to hero in your healing journey, it has to excite you. It has to come from a place of joy and wonder.

Show Highlights: 4

What are your credentials that would back up this program?

Juanique 7:41

• I was in school for nutrition therapy to become a master nutrition therapist; halfway through the program, Tristin's health started to decline, and he died.

What is our mission here?

Juanique 10:54

• It's to empower you with knowledge and a skill set that allows you to think critically about your health and recruit doctors to be on your team but you're the head coach; you're not taking direction from them.

When can we sign up for the Gutsy Health Academy? 

Juanique 30:20

• You can sign up from April 11 to June 1. 

The Gutsy Health Academy is more fun!

Show Summary: "If we believe something is dangerous, it creates fear. If we believe something is safe, it creates calmness in our body."

Mindset is everything. It is the way that we experience the world. Mindset is the very first item in the order of healing. Without the proper mindset, healing will take a longer time to happen. Our conscious and subconscious belief systems can build up or deteriorate our bodies. Whatever we think of happens to our bodies. That is why our special guest for today gives us a glimpse of the fantastic possibilities that could happen when you join us in the Gutsy Health Academy. 

Britt Lefkoe is one of the most amazing mindset coaches we've ever met. She continues the groundbreaking work of her father, Morty Lefkoe. Their belief-based and neuro-scientific approach to personal development has been of great help to individuals and organizations around the world. I have personally witnessed what she can do in an hour as she has helped Tristin change from being bent over and in a dark place to being upright and in a positive mood again. 

We are so honored and thrilled to have her on board with us as we open another season and continue our healing journey together at the Gutsy Health Academy. So please sit back and listen to this episode so that you can take a peek at what's possible for you and your loved ones to heal.

• Love and attention are tied to safety. 
• When you're in that space of self-love and when you're in that space of flow, that is when you start to heal.

Why is mindset important?

Britt 13:20

• I think that mindset is so important because it's about updating the software. Mindset is about getting rid of these old generalizations to see the world as it actually is instead of as you believe it to be.

ENROLL NOW IN THE GUSTY HEALTH ACADEMY & START BEING AN EXPERT OF YOUR HEALTH WITH JUANIQUE & GINA !

So how do you update an app that you haven't updated? 

Britt 16:50

• I think coming with curiosity to your childhood is important to understand that if our beliefs are developed during our first seven years, we can start to ask the questions like, 'What did I think I learned?', 'What did I feel about having a parent who was a worrier?' 

What happens when someone starts doing mindset work?

Britt 19:31

• When you start doing mindset work, you start to have this superpower where these beliefs simply are midpoints; there's a step along the way.

Show Summary: "Healing can be fun. It can be inflow, and it can be easy. It's not hard work. You just need to set your intention."

If you have been used to being sick or depressed, Healing may look like hard work. In our modern world filled with Transformation Tuesdays, it isn't easy to talk about one's healing journey from the point of view of our guest for this episode. 

From suicidal ideation to embracing her Healing timeline, join our discussion with Jasmine Dulin, one of our Gutsy Health Academy members. Jasmine grew up with her mom, who used food as medicine. But upon finishing college, she started getting weird health symptoms. She couldn't exercise because she was injury-prone, and she has since struggled with terrible anxiety. She discovered the Gutsy Health Podcast when she badly needed something to take her mind off of suicidal ideation. And ever before, she decided to change her habits and learn all that she could, especially with food and nutrition, to become a self-healing champion. 

If you are currently nursing a sickness and would like to be inspired by Jasmine's story, sit back, relax and tune in to this episode. Invite a loved one or a friend with you, too! Believe in the power of Healing! And just like Jasmine, all you need to start is to believe that you can.

Show Summary: "EMDR targets part of the past; then, it targets current triggers, and then it does the future template.”

Getting your mindset right is the first important step in starting your healing journey. Suppose your brain isn't working for you but is working against you, or if you have this neuro wiring for trauma, PTSD, or highly intense emotional reactions, it's because that's what protected you or saved you many years ago. 

Sadly, if that's how your brain still works, your body won't feel good. It'll be in a fight or flight response, and you need to get out of that dominant sympathetic response and get into a parasympathetic state, which is rest & digest, to heal. But some people think that it's difficult to do because it'll take years to get past their trauma.

We all know that talk therapy is helpful, but other therapies can also help you resolve one traumatic memory at a time so your brain can start rationalizing negative events or experiences and prevent you from getting into a fight or flight response. And with Gregory Salvesen, we'll talk about what EMDR is, how it works, and how effective it is in dealing with traumatic experiences without spending years of a lifetime going to therapy sessions.

Don't forget to share this with your loved ones who need to hear this!

Exceptional Highlights: 

• The goal is whenever you feel negative emotions; you calm yourself down without needing all the other tools because your rational brain can now tap into that negative emotion & rationalize it out. 
• We drop off the emotions attached to every experience; We filter that out and place the information where it belongs.
• We resolve one memory at a time. Some need more than one session because it depends on what is the significant trauma.

Show Highlights: 

What is REM Sleep?

Greg 3:16

• A lot of information processing occurs while we're asleep, specifically when we're in REM sleep. REM means rapid eye movement. That's because our eyes do a little bit of a flicker & that's when you know people are dreaming.

What is EMDR?

Greg 10:04

• EMDR works on the same mechanism as REM sleep. But it targets those problematic experiences and memories that have shifted and neutralizes them. We use a mechanical eye movement, and we target & stimulate the memory & negative thoughts associated with that. And then we use the eye movements while you're awake to help the brain reexamine and file it correctly. 

How Dr. Greg discovered that his road rage comes from the underlying cognitions of power and control

Greg 23:10

• My road rage had nothing to do with a car, and it was about underlying cognitions of power and control. It was related to my childhood experience in detention. I was planning to go to a dental appointment, and the teacher grabbed me into detention, and she wouldn't let me go to the parking lot and tell my mom, and I had this awful trapped power control thing.

Show Summary: "Ketamine creates the death of the ego. It takes those things you've been keeping alive with your ego and says they no longer serve a purpose."

Cancer patients and their caregivers go through many challenges that lead to psychological problems like anxiety and depression. And the standard talk therapy that happens between patients and psychiatrists isn't enough. In recent years, some people put up Ketamine clinics. But these clinics are just cash cows and still do not help in addressing the psychological experiences that cancer patients and their caregivers go through. 

So in this episode, I am deeply honored to have Krista Andersen, my partner, in putting up our Ketamine clinic. She has been dealing with cancer as a caregiver at an early age since her mom was diagnosed with lung cancer when she was ten years old. Then her sister, and then her. But amazingly, she is now at the stage of moving forward to being in remission. 

Please tune in and listen as Krista and I share with you our shared journey of being a cancer patient and a caregiver and how we will be putting up our ketamine clinic so that we can help more people in their healing journey.

Exceptional Highlights: 

• Cancer is a very lonely experience. Even if a lot of people surround you, it is still isolating, very lonely, and very helpless.
• Ketamine helps you see things from different perspectives. You're seeing it from a much higher level; you are not seeing it from a place of trauma.
• Ketamine therapy can help people with all sorts of depressive disorders: PTSD, addiction behaviors, suicidal ideations, disease, trauma, and end of life. 

Show Highlights: 

Do you think people understand what cancer patients or even their caregivers are going through?

Krista 9:53

• Until you are in that place as a caregiver or patient, there is no way to understand the experiences fully.

How was your first experience being under Ketamine?

Krista 16:20 

• In my first few moments of being under Ketamine, my conscious cognitive thought was if this is what dying is like, I would be okay with it. There was a lot of peace. 

Why are we creating our clinic?

Juanique 19:52

• Because we see these cash cow clinics, and they're just pumping people in and pumping them out. And can you imagine someone starting to have that experience? And it's a very scary experience for them.

Why do you believe in Ketamine therapy?

Krista 25:47

• I believe that we can revolutionize how these medicines are being used to treat mental health or help improve mental health.

Show Summary: "Parasites can change your personality."

When was the last time you did detoxification?

When was the last time you made yourself aware of what could possibly be in the food you're eating & water you're drinking?

When was the last time you felt like you were not yourself?

If you don't know the answers to these questions, you should listen to this episode!

Imagine pulling 12-inch dead worms out of your rear end & discovering that there are many parasites inside your body! That was Dr. Jay's experience when taking Mimosa pudica seeds for cleansing. Dr. Jay Davidson is one of CellCore Biosciences and Microbe Formulas' founders that ensures patients build a strong foundation before entering periods of deeper detoxification. 

Listen as he deeply educates about different types of parasitic worms that could affect how you think and act. He also shares how Lyme is being treated incorrectly and why it is important to identify its root cause. 

Please share this with your loved ones because it is so essential to be aware of how different parasites can get to your bodies and how to get rid of them.

Exceptional Highlights: 

• The most important thing for your water is to make sure there are no chemicals in it.
• Lyme disease is most often in places with radioactive elements in their water supply.
• Parasites can literally change your brain chemistry.

Show Highlights: 

Does the stool test detect parasites?

Dr. Jay 13:27

• The chance is very little. I know that upsets people, especially those working in a lab or huge fans of stool tests. And there are two pieces to unpack here. The first one is they've done research where they take a stool analysis and look at the bacteria on the stool, and then they probe up into the intestinal tract and take a sample of the bacteria. And they were completely different.

Parasites can change your personality

Dr. Jay 17: 49

• There's a book called Your Brain on Parasites. Their research finds that when a parasite is there, it actually changes your personality. So when you do certain things, and you feel that that's not you, there's probably something else that is modifying who you really are.

How often should you do a parasite cleanse?

Dr. Jay 19:16

• It depends on the person. The idea is we're not trying to eliminate every single worm or parasite within your body. Just like we're not trying to kill every bacteria. Parasite load will build up. One of the most important things to do is to bring that load down and then do some periodic cleansing to keep it down, so it's not as if you're going to get rid of it. We're not eliminating everything, and we want to keep that in check because it's al

Show Summary: "Healing is a marathon, not a sprint."

Do you know someone who has autoimmune diseases? There are about 110 types of autoimmune diseases, and most people who have them are not aware that they have them. Checking your food intake and what foods you should avoid eating can help you heal these diseases.

We have Dr. Donna Mazolla, a.k.a Dr. Autoimmune Girl, to discuss elimination diets and autoimmune diseases with us for this episode. For someone who has had Hashimotos for several years, Donna is the perfect person who can tell us what works and what does not work with the food we eat. Plus, she is a doctor of pharmacology! She shares all she knows through her book "Immunity Food Fix." 

Donna teaches people what she has been practicing. Like us, she realized that there is a gap in health care that other medical professionals do not address that much - nutrition and lifestyle. Instead, they prescribe medication and let their patients go about their way without being adequately advised or educated about what they should eat or avoid. 

So please tune in to this episode and share it with as many people as possible to be your healing champion by simply addressing your nutrition and making the necessary lifestyle changes. If we could do it, you can do it, too! We are here for you. 

Exceptional Highlights: 

• No wonder people are so traumatized by food because all these quote-unquote experts are all yelling at each other, saying each other is wrong.
• There is a science to back up that food will make or break you.
• We need to figure out which buttons to push and which foods to eat to help our bodies heal themselves.

Show Highlights: 

Can you add something about the effects of antibiotics on our microbiome?

Donna 13:33

• It's impacted our immune system; it's decreased our oral tolerance. We see a rise in allergies as a result.

Suppose people are starting to incorporate food after an elimination diet. What are the effects that they should look out for?

Donna 18:38

• It could be fatigue, something you're not even thinking about. But like your typical bloating, diarrhea, or gas, these let you know something is going on with the gut. 

What about these people that can't even handle vegetables?

Donna 21:10

• For those people, the question is, have you removed all inflammatory foods first? And now you're eating vegetables and can't tolerate it. We have to give it time. 

Can we get your opinions on the different types of elimination diets?

Donna 32:50

• I am a pro vegetable and not vegan or vegetarian. I'm not anti-animal protein. But I recognize the need, like the phytochemicals present in plants. Looking at Keto and being a carnivore, I'm against these diets because of the disruption and the gut microbiome.

Show Summary: "Healing isn't a destiny. It's a journey." 

Have you ever had Lyme disease? Or do you know someone who had it? Unfortunately, Lyme is more prevalent than we realize. And some people are not even aware that they have it. Such is the case with our guest for this episode. It took her almost fourteen years to find out that she had Lyme disease, setting aside the daily fatigue and headaches she was experiencing. 

So today, one of my golden babies, Ashley Church, who is now one of our private coaches at Provo Health, is joining us for this episode. She was my note-taker before she finally graduated to become a coach. Listen as she shares her healing journey with us and affirm that healing takes time. Ashley is proof of our mission in helping everyone to be their healing champions as she advises all of you listeners to be your health advocate. 

No one cares as much about your health as you do. So be inspired by Ashley as she tells about her healing journey from having Lyme disease to being a Provo Health coach. 

Exceptional Highlights: 

• Antibiotics are not the way to attack Lyme disease. 
• Give your body what it needs to heal you.
• There's always help; there's always light; there's always hope. For me, it was the hope and the desire to have my future.

Show Highlights: 

What symptoms did you experience that led to Lyme disease?

Ashley 4:39

• More headaches, and they were pretty constant every single day. I was taking Advil to get through the day every day. Also, having low energy. I couldn't wake up early. 

If the listeners here had Lyme disease and were sitting in consultation with you, what would you tell them?

Ashley 12:50

• I would probably want to see how severe their symptoms are and what symptoms they have. 

What are cavitations?

Ashley 21:04

• Cavitations are actually pockets on teeth that hold a lot of bacteria. And they can harbor things like Lyme and infection from when your teeth are pulled. 

Are there any other lessons you feel it's taught you along the way?

Ashley 28:53

• One thing I would say is, "Never give up." I mean, there were many times when I felt I was done. But I had some amazing support from my family and friends that I never felt I was in a really scary place.

Show Summary: "Don't be content with being sick. And don't ever give up." 

Have you ever felt like giving up on your sickness or life? If yes, then don’t!

There is a way, and we are here to tell you that you don't have to waste your time, money, and medicines to get well. Instead, you can reverse your disease through food.

Coining the term "nutritarian" and publishing 12 best-selling books aside from his medical practice, our special guest, the amazing Dr. Joel Fuhrman, shares with us that proper diet indeed is the cure for all diseases. Would you like to get rid of your diabetes and high blood pressure and get back to your ideal weight? Would you like to live a long, healthy life as possible? You can do it!

With all the advanced research, we can live longer and healthier. And Dr. Fuhrman shares how we can achieve this goal. So please tune in to our latest episode so that you can be a self-healing champion. 

Exceptional Highlights: 

• When you take drugs, it's just these short-term gains but long-term deficits.
• The nutritional calorie density of your diet is a major factor affecting your health.
• It's a big process and art to motivate a person to change their diet. 

Show Highlights: 

How did you realize that nutrition is the way to go if people want to find healing?

Dr. Fuhrman 5:20

• I found that out before I went to medical school. I was dating this woman who went to medical school and said that if I'm so passionate about this, why don't I become a doctor myself?

What are you seeing in the literature in the research these days around health and nutrition?

Dr. Fuhrman 26:56

• The most surprising finding in the scientific literature is that more plant protein in the diet extends the human lifespan and slows aging. And more animal protein accelerates aging and promotes cancer.

Can you tell us something about your nutritarian philosophy?

Dr. Fuhrman 27:33

• A diet that has a sufficient amount of green vegetables, beans, nuts and seeds, and other vegetables, of course, is the basis of a nutritarian diet.

Show Summary: “The body has all the mechanisms necessary to heal itself. “

As you embark on your healthy lifestyle goals, you first need to learn how to heal. So, how do you heal to recognize the significance of what health means?

Complete healing is a process, and we created the Order of Healing so you can easily absorb the essence and importance of each step and how these steps are interconnected. 

This series introduces the first and second steps in the order of healing, Mindset, and Mitochondria. 

Mindset is number one over anything. It is phenomenal when you dive into the power of the mind and how it acts as a conductor of the body to create healing. You may not recognize it, but even science can prove that having subconscious thoughts of self-doubt and fear can sabotage your healing process. 

Once you have established a strong mindset, you can focus on the next step in healing, your Mitochondria. If you have no idea what this word is, now is the time to learn how essential it is in your healing process. To give quick hindsight, the Mitochondria are the powerhouse of your cells and are responsible for powering up your body in creating energy that we need in our everyday lives. 

Please tune in to this episode as we deep dive into how you can improve your mindset and learn how easy it is to rejuvenate and produce healthier Mitochondria as you prepare for the next steps in your self-healing journey. 

Exceptional Highlights: 

• Your body is literally a portal for life.
• If you have autoimmune disease in your genes, you can turn the genes on and off through mindset and lifestyle changes. 
• If you want health from a long-term or longevity standpoint, go deep into the cellular level.

Show Highlights: 

How does the energy of self-doubt transmute into a chemical response in your body

Juanique 7:48

• If your conscious value is, I'm going to heal. But you're not unpacking those thoughts of "I'm not worthy of this, or I'm unlovable" your body is going to create chemicals like cortisol, which is the wear and tear hormone, and it will start breaking down your body. 

Heart Math research shows how thoughts can change your physical body

Gina 11:58

• Findings show that people who feel fear, worry, and frustration, have very erratic heart rate variability. Their health markers are lower, and their stress hormones are higher. While people who feel gratitude, love, and appreciation have excellent, smooth rhythmic heart rates and have better health markers.

What are Mitochondria?

Gina 18:08

• Almost all your cells have hundreds to thousands of Mitochondria. And they power up our body and give us energy that creates our lifeforce. 

What heals the Mitochondria?

Juanique 19:09

• Don't count macros; instead, count micros. Because the micronutrients are what heal and help the mitochondria function.

Juanique 25:13

• Mitochondria needs Magnesium, as well as 200 other enzymatic functions.

Show Summary: “Good oral health is good gut health.”

How often do we consider the relationship between our oral health and gut health? Turns out, that lots of our oral activities affect the nature of our gut health – from brushing our teeth, flossing, and even the kind of food that we eat.

There are also many things to take into consideration: what should we be looking for when it comes to dental products? Are we protected enough? How can we take care of our oral and gut health while being mindful of the impact of these products on our environment?

In this week’s episode, we are joined by our special guest Dr. Jim Ellis, an amazing dentist in Ogden and owner of The Oral Care Club. He shares with us the different chemicals to look out for that are harmful to our teeth, good habits that nourish our oral environment, and the difference between cleaning our teeth versus creating good oral health.

We were also able to talk about the features of his amazing dental health resource, The Oral Care Club, wherein you can browse through his sustainable and environmental-friendly dental products and other brands that truly care about our dental hygiene.

So please tune in and invite as many people as possible, as we take on a fascinating conversation with Dr. Ellis that leads to a positive change in our overall oral and gut health.

Exceptional Highlights:

• If our oral health is poor, we’re essentially damaging our gut health and our ability to digest food correctly.
• Cleaning off the gunk is one thing, but nourishing the tissues and the oral microbiome is a great reward all the way downstream.
• Make the habit of brushing and flossing teeth a family affair to get kids involved so they can enjoy taking care of their teeth.

Show Highlights:

Aside from brushing and flossing, how else can we contribute to a healthy oral microbiome?

Dr. Ellis 7:45

• Getting the garbage out of your mouth is number one. But you must also look at your overall health, are there prescriptions you’re taking that affect your salivary flow rate? Are you getting yeast infections in your mouth? Do you have a dry mouth?

Chemicals in our toothpaste are bad for us

Dr. Ellis 6:19

• Sodium lauryl sulfate is the number one foaming agent found in toothpaste. Big manufacturers put these harsh chemicals in our toothpaste because they’re cheap.

Get the MOST COMFORTABLE SLEEP YOU NEED! Get your Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheets now with a 35% discount using the code "GUTSY"

Dr. Ellis 19:48

• Titanium dioxide makes things bleach white. You don’t want that. And a lot of toothpaste has artificial sugars like saccharides.

Causes of bad bacteria in our mouths

Dr. Ellis 1 10:03

• Unnatural added sugars in our daily diet. Bad bacteria thrive in sugar and we’re basically feeding the bad bacteria in our mouth and stomach with sugar.

Dry mouth epidemic

Dr. Ellis 13:58

• Your mouth needs to be wet and moist, otherwise, your tissues are going to dry out and you’re going to get cavities and fragile teeth.

Show Summary: “Energy moves through us. Just because we feel certain emotions doesn’t mean it’s us.”

Oftentimes our thoughts create our emotions. And our emotions lead to our moods. And when we put these moods on repeat long enough, we feel like we are stuck in an endless loop and they eventually become our identity. That’s how powerful our mind is.

Everything begins in our minds and our healing journey starts with it as well. Mindset is always number one.

In this week’s episode, we welcome back one of our fantastic frequent flyers in the Gutsy Health Podcast, Britt Lefkoe, to talk about the relationship between our mind and body, and how our mindset is tied to the energy and emotions that flow through us. 

Britt is an exceptional mindset coach. We’ve worked with her in the Gutsy Health Academy and I have personally witnessed her brilliance when it comes to personal development. 

The path to our healing may not always be an easy one. You may also have heard that healing is not linear. But there are many ways in which we can make it a lot more bearable - may it be in the form of positive affirmations, therapy, or medications. 

We choose what’s best for us and luckily, Britt is here with us to guide us on how to bring lightness and empowerment, and create love and joy not just for ourselves, but for our loved ones too. 

Come and join us in this enlightening conversation and sign up for the Gutsy Health Academy to become a health healing champion.

Exceptional Highlights:

• Don't ask why emotions are there, because it puts you in an endless story. Rather, question yourself about what to do and how to move forward.
• There’s a difference between negative thoughts and emotions. There are no negative emotions but there are negative thoughts. 
• Sometimes our expressions of symptoms are not an actual illness. We’re not as sick and tired as we thought we were.

Show Highlights:

Positive affirmations

Britt 4:11

• Thoughts do not change emotions. Only emotions can change emotions.

The person we needed as a child

Britt 13:06

• We have become the person our little self needed and our development has been dedicated to honoring who our little self was. We’ve become that which we didn’t have.

Fear and anxiety are not feelings

Britt 18:43

• Unlike sadness, despair, joy, and love - fear and anxiety are not feelings. Those are reactions we don’t know how to feel.

Energy moving through our body

Juanique 23:41

• As humans, we are not sad. We just have sadness flow through us. These emotions are energy just moving through. And just because energy moves through me, it doesn’t mean it’s me.

Show Summary: “You will not heal until your mind aligns with your healing. You can only heal if you stop what’s causing your pain in the first place. Never give up hope; you are your best healer.”

**********Trigger warning: Cancer story and suicide ideation.**********

It’s been a year since Tristin's passing, and Juanique is here with us today to share her journey that spans over five years.

It all started when she was 28 years old and 20 weeks into her pregnancy when the world seemed to have stopped revolving the moment they found out that her husband was diagnosed with stage 4 Lung Cancer. 

Throughout those years, she has been nothing but a solid support system for Tristin, her children, and her friends. She carried all the emotional and psychological weight of the situation while refusing to show vulnerability. Not for selfish reasons, but to continue taking care of everyone around her. 

As a trauma response, Juanique buried herself in tons of work and advocacies in helping others on their healing journey. That is until her own body showed signs of many unusual neurological symptoms lately. It even came to a point where she just wanted it to end. Her mind and body shut down which made her stop and slow down. As if her body’s telling her that she has taken care of everybody enough, and now is the time to take care of herself too.

Here in the Gutsy Health Podcast, we always aim to share with you the many ways we can heal ourselves in a holistic way. And Juanique, as brave as she is, stands to be an example that no matter how hard we repress all our pain, we can still recover and create a healing space - not just for everyone that we care about, but for ourselves too. After all, the healing journey begins with us, and only us. 

We hope that by listening to this special podcast episode, you’ll pick up a thing or two and go about your day feeling like you’ve gained optimism and strength to know that no matter how hard your situation is right now, there is always hope. And there is always help along the way. 

Exceptional Highlights:

• Our body will start to process all the fear, emotions, and things we’ve held on to for so long when it feels safe to do it.
• Our disease and dis-ease are our internal mirror of the imbalance within our mind, body, and soul.
• If we can create disease, we can create health. If we can create darkness, we can create light.

Show Highlights:

About repressed emotions for the past six years

Juanique 5:55

• Because I was trying to protect everyone and make them feel comfortable, there was no space for me to feel my emotions. And as I’ve been going back to work, for the first time I felt sadness for myself.

Trauma response and survival

Gina 12:46

• You lived in your mind for survival. If you didn’t disconnect from your emotions and physical exhaustion at the time, you wouldn’t be able to survive and take care of your kids and Tristin.

Realizations while meditating, doing EDMR, and Ketamine Therapy

Juanique 13:43

• By pushing all my emotions down, that’s where I dishonored myself. That’s where I lost myself and safety in this life.

Show Summary: “Eating healthy: let’s pop the myth that it’s expensive and hard. Inexpensive healthy meals can be done right with proper skills and knowledge.”

Healthy habits can begin with the food that we eat. And sometimes, we’re daunted by the tremendous amount of tasks before us just to achieve our health goals.

What kind of food should we buy? Where can we access inexpensive organic fruits and vegetables? Are healthy meals complicated to make?

One way or another, we’ve asked ourselves these questions many times, and more often than not, these questions can be intimidating - and then we start to doubt ourselves.

Worry not! Episode 28 of the Gutsy Health Podcast is here to lay down all the recommendations for you to become a meal planning Pro. And it doesn’t have to be tricky. It doesn’t take a lot of work either. You don’t necessarily have to be a Michelin Star chef to create sumptuous and healthy meals for you and your family.

In this episode, we emphasize the importance of meal planning and food prepping, and that leftovers are more nutrient-dense than what we get from big fast-food restaurants. I guarantee you that this will make your meal planning a lot easier and hassle-free!

Tune in to this episode and become an advocate of healthy healing for you and your family. Because shifting away from the mindset that eating healthy is time-consuming and that it takes a lot of work may seem unthinkable but this is the best way to nurture, nourish, and heal our bodies.

Exceptional Highlights:

• Information and knowledge about healthy eating are pointless without proper implementation.
• Changing your health isn’t just about information: it’s ingraining it in your mind, body, and soul
• Eating is a habit. We need to break old habits in order to create new healthy ones.

Show Highlights:

Food and meal planning

Juanique 7:40

• Get everyone in your family involved in food prepping and washing fruits and vegetables.

Changing old habits

Juanique 9:10

• You need to get out of your way to prioritize eating healthy and make a habit of it, just like how brushing your teeth and showering are part of your daily habits. 

Inexpensive healthy food

Gina 23:04

• The sandwiches that we pick up in coffee shops may seem reasonably priced. But if we replace it with an omelet with spinach and avocado, we will find that those ingredients are much cheaper and healthier than those store-bought sandwiches.

How is eating inexpensive healthy food related to our health?

Juanique 24:57

• The amount and effort it takes for us to prepare organic and healthy meals are a lot cheaper than when we get hospitalized and under medications because of an illness that resulted from our neglect of food consumption.

Show Summary: “We want to prevent Osteopenia and Osteoporosis. It’s easier to slow down and prevent bone loss than to build what’s lost.”

Osteoporosis is commonly known to affect only women in their forties to sixties, but did you know that it could start at an earlier age? 

Studies have shown that approximately 10 million Americans have Osteoporosis, and not only women but men can also suffer from it. It also shows that one in two women and one in four men will break a bone in their lifetime because of low bone density.

Oftentimes, we hear about this condition when people have already been diagnosed and are suffering - only then do they start taking medications, and supplements, and changing their diet and exercise. But it shouldn’t be the only way. And believe us when we say that there are lots of different ways we can prevent Osteoporosis from happening.

Bone Coach™ Kevin Ellis is a Forbes-featured certified Integrated Nutrition Health Coach, and he’s here to talk to us about what causes Osteoporosis, the tests we can take to check our bone density status, and what we can do to proactively prevent Osteoporosis from happening. 

Listen to the newest episode of the Gutsy Health Podcast and be the best advocate of yourself for your healing journey.

Show Summary: “Olive oils must be single-origin. The land where the olive trees grow should be non-invasive, and the fruits must be hand-picked so as not to damage the quality in the process.”

You've all heard olive oil is probably the holy grail among oils. Not only does it taste good but it's also been proven many times that it has a lot of health benefits. Now, the question is how certain are you that you're getting the good quality ones - considering many large olive oil brands are out there just for profit?

How can you distinguish between virgin and extra virgin olive oil? What are the tell-tale signs that the bottles displayed in grocery stores came from multi-sourced locations? How does a clear olive oil bottle affect its overall quality?

It seems like a lot of stuff to consider just to consume oil, doesn't it?

But when it comes to our health, we should always be mindful of the quality of products that we consume. A little research goes a long way too.

That’s why we're thrilled to be joined by Tony Kasandrinos, the founder and CEO of Kasandrinos Olive Oil. In this episode, we discuss the history of their olive oil which originated in Greece. He also gave us some advice on how to spot a good quality product in our nearest grocery stores and the health benefits that come from it.

So please join us as we discover facts about one of our favorite and most important ingredients in our kitchen, and begin to be a positive healthy influence among your friends and family!

Exclusive Gutsy Health discount on Kasandrinos Olive Oil - Use the code GUTSY

Exceptional Highlights:

• The olive oil industry has become one of the largest health and food scams in the past years.
• Aside from vitamin E, olive oil is packed with polyphenols and antioxidants that are good for our skin, cells, brain, and heart. 
• Most large olive oil companies source their ingredients from different countries, which creates a less quality product.

Show Highlights:

What’s the problem in the olive oil industry?

Tony 3:27

• The vast majority of olive oils are not organic and the fruits are sprayed with pesticides. At the same time, you can have high-quality olive oil that was produced, but due to its distribution process and by the time it gets into consumers’ households, its freshness degrades over time.

Preserving the quality directly from the source

Tony 10:42

• We want to get Kasandrinos Olive Oil to the customer as soon as we can because that’s what olive oil should taste like.

What’s the difference between virgin olive oil and extra virgin olive oil?

Tony 12:00

• When a chemical analysis or acidity test is done, anything above point A is virgin olive oil, and anything below is extra virgin olive oil. It can be tested out the day it’s pressed, but the acidity level rises over time.

Show Summary: “To get healthy and stay healthy, you’ve got to be your own investigator. You’ve got to be inquisitive.”

Many “healthy food” products in supermarkets are marketed as whole and organic food. They claim that they have anti-inflammatory ingredients and are suitable for your heart and blood sugar. 

A couple of hundred years ago, people didn't die from diseases such as type 2 diabetes, dementia, and heart attacks. And this is because we weren’t eating the types of highly processed food that we eat now. 

So, how can you make sure that you’re truly getting the products that are good for you?

In this episode, Dr. Thomas Hemingway laid down the 5 simple pillars of health practices you can learn from to take care of your body. His holistic health philosophy is backed by numerous studies and one that many of you are already familiar with.

Dr. Hemingway believes that health and wellness are sustainable by addressing the root cause of the problem, long before symptoms start to manifest.

We invite you to listen to Episode 31 of the Gutsy Health Podcast and make sure to invite all your loved ones. Now is the time to take charge in making significant decisions that promote healthy living!

Get the MOST COMFORTABLE SLEEP YOU NEED! Get your Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheets now with a 35% discount using the code "GUTSY"

Exceptional Highlights:

• 90% percent of your genetic diseases can be prevented by changing your lifestyle.
• Most food that we buy in supermarkets is marketed as healthy food. But they’re not actually healthy.
• The five pillars of health are FOOD, MOVEMENT, STRESS, SLEEP, and GUT HEALTH.

Show Highlights:

Food is medicine

Dr. Thomas 6:51

• Food is the best medicine or it can be a slow poison. One of the biggest levers that we have is treating food as the powerful medicine it can be.

Plant-based oils

Dr. Thomas 9:14

• Giant corporations funded the American Heart Association. They got us to believe that man-made plant-based oils are healthier for us than what we’ve been eating for millennia. 

Why is sleep important?

Dr. Thomas 23:47

• Sleep enables our brain to flush all the toxins away. If these toxins are built up over time, they can cause chronic inflammation the same way our joints start to ache.

Importance of our lifestyle choices

Dr. Thomas 44:19

• Our lifestyle is within our control. And by having a sustainable healthy lifestyle, we can prevent the manifestation of over 90% of our genes that have diseases.

Show Summary: “Bioregulators can trigger the body’s healing mechanisms to reverse biological aging.”

It’s a known fact that our bodies can cleanse and heal themselves. But did you know exactly how the mechanisms of our body do just that? 

Peptides and Bioregulator Peptides are types of small proteins and strings of amino acids that help heal and rejuvenate our DNA.

In this episode of the Gutsy Health Podcast, Nathalie Niddam dishes out Peptide Therapy and Bioregulators, and how these helpful compounds trigger not only our body’s natural healing mechanism but also reverse our biological aging. 

Nathalie is a Certified Holistic Nutritionist and Epigenetic Coach whose passion is to guide people on how these strings of amino acids can help decrease inflammation, aid weight loss, and potentially reverse our natural aging. 

As we go along, we dive deeper into the science of Peptide Therapy and how Bioregulators cross through our nuclear membrane to upregulate proteins in our bodies.

Peptide Therapy is a subject not yet known to many people. But worry not! We are here to guide you all the way so you too can become a citizen scientist, your self-healing advocate, and the CEO of your body and healing process. 

Exceptional Highlights:

• Peptides and Bioregulator Peptides are proteins and strings of small amino acids that could penetrate our nuclear cells and help upregulate our DNA.
• Upregulating our DNA is known as rejuvenating and restoring the functions of tissues.
• One of its (Peptides) functions is to restore the telomere length on DNA.

Show Highlights:

How to administer Bioregulators?

Nathalie Niddam 9:50

• Bioregulators naturally occur in food. And the bioregulator supplements can be taken orally because they are so small and our body has a mechanism to recognize them.

What organs can benefit from Bioregulators?

Nathalie Niddam 13:12

• Bioregulators can target and improve the health of specific organs such as the liver, pancreas, lungs, muscles, and bone marrow.

What is the appropriate prescription for Bioregulators?

Nathalie Niddam 19:16

• The answer is evolving. The oral bioregulators are classified as nutritional supplements because they’re essentially food.

Show summary: “You have to eat the right materials in order to heal your body. Even though there is so much deep science, you can do it. It’s just a willingness to do it.”

Just over a month ago, we introduced the first and second steps in the Order of Healing: Mindset & Mitochondria.

Today, we discuss steps 3 and 4 in the Order of Healing: Gut & Liver.

It is no mystery how important the gut is in our overall health and healing. After all, the gut and the lining of your intestines act as the border between the food you eat and your immune system.

The process of breaking down nutrients starts within your gut. And so the repair your body needs starts within your gut. 

On the other hand, the liver may be undervalued and unrecognized whenever you think about your health. But it is just as important. The liver is closely connected to your gut and digestion. It plays a fundamental role in creating hormones and regulating blood sugar and cholesterol.

In this episode, we dive deep into the science of the roles your gut and liver play in your health healing. 

Healing happens, and we invite you to become the experts because it is one of the most empowering tools you can utilize for your healing journey.

Exceptional Highlights:

• To heal your autoimmunity, brain fog, and fatigue, you have to heal your gut.
• It’s important to know the whys and hows of healing protocol so you can stick with the process longer.
• The highest concentrations of mitochondria are in the brain and liver because they are that important.

Show Highlights:

What are the benefits of healing the gut?

Juanique 3:29

• We have to heal our gut in order to heal autoimmunity, brain fog, fatigue, thyroid, anxiety, depression, PCOS, inflammation, and immune dysfunction.

What are the symptoms of gut issues?

Juanique 10:24

• You have to look out for bloating, gassiness, and burping. Questions to consider: does your meal kind of sit in your stomach for an hour or two? Do you feel heavy? Bloating and gassiness shouldn’t be normalized.

Why does bloating and gassiness happen?

Juanique: 17:02

• You’re eating food that is rotting in your gut. Bloating and gassiness are a sign of inflammation. And bad bacteria thrive in inflammation.

Sugar is highly inflammatory

Juanique: 25:01

• Sugar is highly inflammatory not only in the gut but also in the liver. It releases aldehydes that are toxic to your body.

Healthy foods for liver

Juanique: 45:58

• Eat vegetables, and food with lots of fiber, protein, and antioxidants.

Show Summary: “The best thing you can do for your mitochondria is to lessen the consumption of blue light sources, and utilize devices that decrease blue light. Watch the sunrise and sunset as it boosts your mitochondrial function.”

As we progressed in the dominance of the digital age, our gadgets such as smartphones, laptops, smart TVs, and many more had been prevalent in our lifestyle. It’s safe to say that they make our lives easier and it would be a lot harder to live without them. 

But, are you protecting yourself from the harmful effects of blue and artificial lights that come from these devices? Not everyone knows why and how they affect our brain health. 

And in this episode, we dive deep into the whys and hows of the relationship between blue light and our overall health - from the brain to skin, to our mental and physical health.

We are joined by Dhruvin Patel, an eye expert and founder and CEO of Ocushield, to discuss the ins and outs of blue lights, how to maintain eye health, and prevent blue light from harming our health.

Becoming the captain of your well-being doesn’t have to be complicated. We’re here to guide you throughout your self-healing journey. Join us and listen to Episode 34 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

• Blue light from screens affects the eyes; causing eye strain and fatigue, leading to headaches.
• Artificial blue lights suppress the melatonin hormone, which affects the quality of sleep.

Show Highlights:

What does blue light do biologically to our bodies?

Dhruvin Patel 8:30

• Our eyes are very smart; they can see lots of light sources so you want to reduce the flicker in lighting. Flicker rate is something called Hertz. Aim to use devices with a lesser flicker rate. 

Why should the younger generation lessen their screen time?

Dhruvin Patel 11:56

• Children’s eye lenses don’t develop until they are teenagers, and the lens is an important natural filter for UV and blue light. Long-term exposure to blue light can eventually cause macular degeneration, which affects your central vision. 

Get 20% discount when you buy Ocushield products using  the code GUTSYHEALTH20

Two recommended steps to lessen the impact of blue light:

Dhruvin Patel 13:15

• The proximity of the device. Position your device or light source farther away from the eyes. 
• Turn down the brightness.

Frequent usage of devices

Dhruvin Patel 14:13

• Try not to use your devices the first hour when you wake up and the last hour before you sleep. Especially when you wake up and your body is in an alpha state, which means you’re more susceptible to what you’re taking in.

Show Summary: "Outsourcing your health recovery to supplements or treatments, will rarely give you answers. To hasten healing, mindset and nutrition are intrinsic factors that you can control."

Health issues are inevitable and unfortunate events that we face. Coming in forms of brain fog, panic attacks, inflammations, or other chronic diseases, experiencing these can debilitate or slow us down from living our best lives.

And in our effort to bounce back, instead of focusing first on intrinsic, controllable factors such as our thoughts and food choices, most of us search for healing outside through popular supplements or undergoing treatments prescribed by a doctor.

If you’ve been listening to the Gutsy Health Podcast, you know by now that there’s a chronological order of recovery protocol that you must follow. Skipping this may spell the difference in achieving the breakthrough that you need.

In this episode, we’ll reveal why a sound mindset and proper nutrition are of utmost priority, and supplementation and treatment, even though helpful, fall to the bottom of that list.

Optimize and hasten the momentum of your self-healing. Join us and listen to Episode 35 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

• Follow the chronological order of protocol to expedite healing. First is the Mindset, second is Nutrition, Supplementation is third, and last is Treatment.

• To recuperate, you should prioritize sleep and rest because that's when eighty percent of healing happens. 

• Inflamed bodies are like burning buildings, while Proper Nutrition is the big hose that kills the fire.

Show Highlights:

Direct Effect of Mindset in Healing

Juanique 10:29

• If your mind is not in alignment with healing, it is going to trigger your body to be in a fight or flight response, which wears and tears your body and creates more disease and dysfunction.

Nutrition as the Primary Source for Healing

Juanique 11:42

• Nutrient-dense foods like vegetables, leafy greens, fruits, proteins, and healthy fats are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants -  these are the big hoses that put out the fire. 

Supplementation & Treatments as Support to Healing

Juanique 15:17

• Using the analogy of someone sick, they go to the doctor who prescribes supplementation. Did they talk to you about the big hose of nutrition in the first place? Why would you invest in a small hose of supplementation when the big hoses exist? You tend to outsource your power to supplements and treatments because it's easy, but invest in your nutrition first.

Juanique 27:33

• If you want to accelerate healing, that's when you incorporate treatments. When starting a healing protocol, most people ask, “How long does it take to heal?”. People get frustrated when they hear 6 to 12 months. if you want to make it a three-month process, you could speed up that timeline with treatments.

 “Weight loss should be easy. Knowing your body's Metabolic Ecosystem allows you to burn fat, even while relaxing and eating the food that you want.

After following a rigid weight loss plan, it’s frustrating to see unsustainable results. Hour-long cardios? Check. Clean eating? Check. Reduced calories? Check. But how come we are not seeing any obvious progress?

Meet our guest, Megan Hansen, a ‘cool dietitian’ that helped 6,000 people drop the fat and find food freedom by repairing their metabolism. Having struggled with bulimia and packing on the pounds, she felt like a fraud. In her search for answers, she found out about the Metabolic Ecosystem platform that she's known for today.

In this episode, discover the six (6) interdependent factors that affect your metabolism rate - yet overlooked by most in the industry today.

Educate yourself and combat weight gain for good. Join us and listen to Episode 36 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

• Limiting calorie intake is a lie. Instead, a holistic approach on metabolism is the key behind permanent weight loss.
• Controlling blood sugar gives you more flexibility in your diet. It supports our hunger and satiety hormones that influence our energy and  cravings.
• Stress and lack of sleep are major factors that affect and slow down your metabolism.

Show Highlights:

A balanced take on carbohydrates

Megan Hansen 16:52

• “I’m not anti-carbs in any way. I'm pro-eating carbohydrates with protein, fat and fiber that keep your blood sugar steady.”

Burn calories even on downtime

Megan Hansen 20:43

• “So lean muscle tissue is the one thing that's going to use our basal metabolic rate. So if you want to increase the calories you're burning per day, at rest and doing nothing, put on some lean muscle tissue by lifting weights.”

Consequences of sacrificing sleep

Megan Hansen 32:43

• “Sleep deprivation leads to eating anywhere from four to 500 extra calories a day, it affects our stress levels, the way that we're able to manage stress, and how much we live everyday.”

Show Summary:

“Renewal starts with the mind. When you understand your Core Energy and the impact of psychedelics for healing, awareness means half of the battle is won already."

‘Energy’ is indeed a meaningful word. A term loosely used around, it can connote different meanings that may pertain to our health, vibrancy, and even abstract ideas connected to the spiritual or ‘woowoo’ realm.

Though the Gutsy Health platform leans more towards science-based advice and findings, we are open to discuss new concepts that push the boundaries of our long-held beliefs, as long as it helps us reach our peak performance. 

Our guest, Lana Pribic, is a certified life coach and podcast host of Modern Psychedelics. She lets us into the two-fold topics of Core Energy and Psychedelics. Having used psychedelics recreationally, she experienced what it’s like to have barriers removed and be connected to her higher self. Later on, she studied at the prestigious Institute for Professional Excellence and Coaching (iPEC) to learn their trademarked Core Energy program.

In this episode, you’ll understand why psychedelics can be helpful, and be aware of your own level within the hierarchy of the seven (7) types of Core Energy.

Is psychedelics something you’d try for self-awareness? Find out and listen to Episode 37 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more.

Exceptional Highlights:

• Core Energy can either be one of two things. Catabolic is destructive, tearing down, and works against you. While Anabolic is supportive, constructive, fuelling and expansive. 
• Discovered on the same year as the atomic bomb, psychedelics has become the atomic bomb for the mind. It allows you to see the world in a completely different way.
• Psychedelics are nonspecific amplifiers. They bring to the forefront your suppressions while tearing down your mind’s defense mechanisms.

Show Highlights:

Origin of Core Energy 

Lana Pribic 3:21

• Core energy lies as the root of our thoughts, belief systems, and our actions. It’s a default programming from everything as we grew up. Like in a cell’s nucleus - that’s where it all begins.

Beliefs differentiated from Energy

Lana Pribic 4:51

• Beliefs are not core energy. Your core energy determines whether a set of beliefs are going to hold you back or move you forward.

50% of Change comes from Awareness

Lana Pribic 16:56

• When it comes to change, knowing is already 50% of the work. We can’t come to choice without awareness and it all starts in the head.

Show Summary: 
"Imagine your body as a tree trunk with termites burrowing and leaving a bunch of holes. Lyme loves to attack neural tissues that keep you stuck in a PTSD loop - even if the ‘termites’ aren’t alive anymore.”

Lyme is a mysterious illness that not all people know of. Showing up in symptoms like migraine, anxiety, acidic stomach and other unidentified malaise, your body feels at its worst.

But, once doctors check, they find nothing serious and suggest that it's your imagination. Is it? Or did they miss identifying Lyme disease as the true and hidden culprit?

Join our guest, Hailey Scarbrough, as she takes us through her holistic victory with Lyme disease. She tells her story about finding her trusted medical practitioners. Not to mention, the long-lasting protocol that doesn't have to include antibiotics.

Indeed, knowledge is power. Let’s decode Lyme disease by listening to Episode 38 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

• Lyme is an expensive disease to diagnose. The average patient spends tens of thousands of dollars for therapy and antibiotics.
• Post-traumatic stress disorder is a common effect of Lyme disease even after treatment.
• The gut and immune system may play a role in why some people are symptomatic and asymptomatic.

Show Highlights:

Cortisol worsens Lyme

Juanique 11:19

• As Lyme deteriorates your body, the stress hormone cortisol exacerbates it. From anxiety to depression, it turns into a PTSD feedback loop that turns your body against you.

Anyone can have Lyme yet be asymptomatic

Juanique 13:48

• Many of us could have Lyme yet be asymptomatic. To get better, the soil of the body, like your microbiome, must be a place where Lyme can't thrive.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as a dual purpose treatment

Juanique 28:38

• Lyme is an anaerobic bacteria that thrive in non-oxygenated environments. Thus, a hyperbaric chamber saturates your body with megadoses of oxygen. It kills off the parasites, while hastening your healing process.

Show Summary:  "If women aren’t ovulating, isn’t it counterintuitive to put them on a pill that reinforces non-ovulation? When they think they’re on their menstrual cycle, it’s not a period but a chemically induced bleed by synthetic hormones.”

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the nastiest of all hormonal imbalances. Yet in the absence of ovary cysts, doctors would rule it out - even if some of its glaring symptoms like irregular periods, infertility, unwanted weight gain, acne, and chest and facial hair have already appeared. 

And with the meteoric rise of crazy hormonal issues happening as of latter years, it’s easy for women to feel alienated and misunderstood. Pills have been a normal prescription to manage PCOS, but did you know that it disrupts your monthly ovulation cycle and what you’re only experiencing could be ‘fake bleed’?

Our ‘unicorn’ guest, Meg Richichi, is a rare PCOS expert who doesn’t only deal with its symptoms - she gets to the bottom of it. Her fascinating backstory of world travels gave her a balanced East and West perspective. Plus, her reveal on the basic cause of PCOS and how it’s mishandled by mainstream medicine is mind-blowing.

Let’s put an end to hormonal imbalances. It’s time to heal and understand PCOS by listening to Episode 39 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

• Elevated androgen is a hallmark symptom. Most receive diuretics that reduce testosterone but do not cure PCOS.
• Women with PCOS are at higher-risk of estrogen-related cancers. And if unresolved, it also makes them susceptible to other illnesses. 
• Hormonal imbalance is a direct result of our bodies’ inability to flush out toxins in our system.

Show Highlights:

How Hormones Affect Our Creativity Cycles

Meg Richichi 12:49

• When you start paying attention to your cycle, your sense of awareness, creativity and confidence increases. Every month, you have the beautiful opportunity to give birth to something in your life aside from a baby. 

Cumulative Effect of Androgens and Chemical Exposures

Meg Richichi 16:54

• In the womb, excessive androgen from mothers is passed on through the umbilical cord. And as we grow older, the toxicity buildup from chemicals in our environment blocks the healthy lymphatic flow and drainage in our bodies.

The Connection of Detoxification to Balanced Hormones

Juanique 20:03

• Parasites harbor heavy metals and plastics. Women who have done cleansing protocols unexpectedly heal their endometriosis and begin to have normal eight-day cycles.

The Red Flags of Infertility and Rough Pregnancy

Juanique 25:23

• Women who struggle getting pregnant or experience extreme morning sickness are most likely fighting with their hormones and are not getting the support that their bodies need.

"The pillar of fixing hormones is balancing your blood sugar before you do anything. Even with supplements, if fluctuating blood sugar is not addressed, you will fail because you’re constantly inflamed and not fueling your cells properly.”

Confusing and outdated health advice crowds the industry today. Too much emphasis has been given on limiting carbs, calorie counts and diets. Most certified dietitians also do not understand metabolism, or how fast our bodies burn fat or manufacture sugar into energy that we could actually use.

Stabilizing blood sugar is THE topic that we all ought to talk about. Aside from the dreaded diabetes, did you know the high correlation of unchecked glucose with cardiovascular disease, cancer and other maladies? Also, not to mention that insulin resistance is a huge factor behind stubborn belly fat, excessive food cravings, brain fog, low energy and inflammation, just to name a few.

Gutsy Health Podcast Co-host, Gina Worful, is a blood sugar expert. Imparting knowledge like our bodies’ ‘manual’, her upcoming ‘Mastering Blood Sugar’ workshop empowers us to love and take care of ourselves much better.

Exceptional Highlights:

• Our ancestors only had five tablespoons of sugar in a year. Average consumption today is about 125 pounds of sugar annually.
• Avoiding carbohydrates is a myth. There are other factors at play for blood sugar stability.
• Fix fluctuating blood sugar first to heal a host of other related diseases such as thyroid, hormones and immunity issues.

Show Highlights:

Her roadmap to understanding her own body

Gina 03:23

• Experiencing ironic health struggles as a dietitian, she discovered gap-filling information that her licensed education never gave her access to.

Eating healthy doesn’t equate to a balanced blood sugar

Juanique 11:12

• Our bio-individualities must be considered in meal planning because of our unique responses to glucose.

Microbiomes and blood sugar control

Juanique 14:16

• Having diverse microbiomes in our system is important because it directly affects the way our body handles glucose.

Insulin is the key that opens the doorway to cells

Juanique 22:39

• When there is too much sugar in the bloodstream, the insulin receptors become tired and defective in accepting fuel for the cells.

Reversing blood sugar damages

Gina 25:06

• Berberine and Fenugreek are common herbal supplements that improve insulin resistance which replenishes the energy that our cells need. Small hourly movements also help lower glucose levels.

"The heart is infinite. When going through a heavy, traumatic experience, it is easy to shut down your heart and mourn. But since the universe is infinite, you can always try to remind yourself that when one door closes, another one might open. There’s always opportunity for growth and movement.”

“Healing happens” is a phrase we use to remind people that their bodies are capable of miraculous things when given the right tools. But so are hearts. They heal too when given the right tools, circumstance and people. It just takes the right person to come and touch hearts and bring it back to life again.

Today’s episode is a very special one. At the onset, it may seem personal and not health-related, yet since healing is the core premise of Gutsy Health Podcast, we also believe that stories of love are healing for people. Love heals.

So if you have been an intimate follower of Juanique, our guest Ryan Grover needs no introduction. But for all the listeners meeting him for the first time, he is here to share their soul-binding story of opening up, being consumed by love and being a huge catalyst of healing for the Roney family after Tristin’s passing.

Ryan Grover is the CEO, founder and owner of HelpCloud. Before meeting Juanique, he was twice divorced, once a vegan, and has been living a full, athletic life. He also enjoys precious times with his son and longed for a family that he can completely take care of.

Explore the heart’s infiniteness and how it can hold so much space for more love by listening to Episode 41 of the Gutsy Health Podcast!

Show Summary: 

"Everybody wants to change. But we can’t because we are all addicts. Our drug is sugar and we have food that gives pleasure to our brain, so we can’t let go of it.”

We all desire to be healthier. And when we actually attempt to, our usual resolutions would be to cut down on anything ‘unhealthy’ that we can think of. Sipping coffee less in the morning and taking out carbs in the evening. This path becomes an uphill battle that only backfires on us. 

Food addiction has always been an in-demand subject. Even though we have listened to and agreed to all the experts’ advice, we just can’t seem to get past these cravings. It’s like answering the call of nature, and we have no logical control over it.

Gutsy Health Podcast Co-host, Gina Worful, is a schooled dietitian that struggled with her own food cravings. Thanks to her experience, she is the best resource to unpack the secret of how to satisfy it while sticking to your goal of being healthy. 

Satiate your cravings and know the science behind them. Listen to Episode 42 of the Gutsy Health Podcast!

Exceptional Highlights:

• It’s not a question of your willpower. Cravings are a sign of imbalance that can’t be pushed away by thoughts but rather, by having the right chemistry in your body.
• Stress hormones trigger the adrenaline and nervous system to be overactive and dysregulated. This induces our brain to have cravings because it’s in survival mode.
• When you start learning and loving your body, it naturally comes back into alignment and in optimal health.

Show Highlights:

Fight or flight has become a baseline mode in today’s society

Juanique 07:01

• Most of us are stressed yet unaware of it. Being anxious and alert all the time becomes so normalized in our modern pace, and this has contributed to our uncontrollable cravings.

The relationship of feel-good hormones to our food addictions

Gina 11:2

• Sugar, carbohydrates, and salty food give us temporary serotonin and dopamine boosts. Consuming protein and other minerals sustainably satiate these cravings because it replenishes our deficiencies.

Change your palate by nipping it in the bud

Gina 16:18

• Gradually eating healthier is a waste of time. Because our palates have become used to processed food, continuing to eat it would make it taste better compared to cleaner options.

Extreme dependence on food versus enjoying it in moderation

Juanique 22:11

• Instead of giving up your favorite food entirely, it can still bring joy and happiness when enjoyed in bite-size pieces.

Conquering cravings likened to surfing waves

Gina 28:04

• Like slow waves starting to build, it’d be better to lean forward and embrace your cravings because it helps us be attuned to our bodies so we can give them what it needs.

"Without pharmaceuticals and surgery, we use external methods to rehab an injured brain. And I reached that point where we see semblances of post-concussion syndrome with these long COVID cases. It mimics brain injury."

Covid-19 is originally known as a respiratory disease. And since it broke out, there have been growing studies and anecdotal evidence from the ground that it also hurts the other body systems.

Experiencing its devastating effects months after her recovery, Juanique has hypothesized that Covid-19 acts like the Epstein-Barr virus, where it awakens other dormant viruses in your body. As a related result, it has caused mood disorders and absurd neurological symptoms that unaware doctors would dismiss with a prescription of antibiotics or antidepressants.

Holding a niche practice, Dr. Kenneth Oliver is a chiropractic neurologist who rehabilitates brain injuries and neurological dysfunction through external modalities such as electromagnetic impulses, radiofrequency, and low-level laser therapies. He will also shed light on the latest findings in post-Covid cases based on medical journals and his daily patient consultations.

If health has worsened since you or a loved one had Covid, you can't miss Episode 43 of the Gutsy Health Podcast!

Exceptional Highlights:

• Patients with unexplainable issues tend to point to their history of being stricken with Covid, having an adverse reaction to its vaccine, or a combination of both. 
• Doctors have learned and are willing to share more about this destructive virus, but censorship of public information has also been challenging.
• Covid causes a loss of microbiome diversity which hastens the spread of spike protein in other body systems.

Show Highlights:

PubMed is a MeSH database that provides access to medical abstracts

Dr. Oliver 08:40

• After typing 'Covid AND Neurological Dysfunctions', it pulled up 5000 articles that are accessible to learn about these two topics together.

Journal finding of how Covid can critically cause nervous system dysfunction

Dr. Oliver 19:05

• The biggest issue with the virus is that it destroys the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB), which leads to susceptibility to brain inflammation. 

A compromised BBB can severely affect random parts of the brain

Dr: Oliver 33:06

• A BBB Permeability Test identifies the exact areas of damage, which can come in various neuropsychiatric forms such as ADHD, cognitive deficits, suicidality, seizures, epilepsy, and psychosis.

"When you go on a conception journey, your husband becomes invested. I try not to get my hopes up, so I took a pregnancy test the next morning without telling him. Then I jumped on the bed and woke him up because it says, ‘We're pregnant!’”

Many couples now face the difficulty of conceiving babies. Along with the textbook PCOS symptoms, the rise in infertility issues has made it an emotionally charged topic among women who desperately need to regulate their period so they can finally get pregnant.

Exactly a year ago, a Gutsy Health member shared the breakthrough of having her period back after being on birth control for 13 years. After trying IVF and other methods with no results, she sought knowledge to heal herself and overhaul her way of life.

Our guest, Katie Vaal, is back. After inspiring listeners on how she spurred her fertility, she now shares the exact steps that she took to become a soon-to-be mom to her firstborn.

Find out more about her journey from struggling with infertility to being an expectant mother. Tune in to Episode 44 of the Gutsy Health Podcast!

Exceptional Highlights:

• There are many factors that contribute to  infertility such as parasitic invasion, stress, and even dehydration
• Aside from the physical factors, having a healed mind is also the key to complete healing
• The road to pregnancy can be arduous, but becoming healthier in the process makes it worth taking

Show Highlights:

Trying to get pregnant again after her newfound learnings

Katie 06:41

• There is no single protocol nor secret, it’s an entire lifestyle adjustment that includes Core Cell Parasite cleanse, EVA Band to monitor ovulation, taking the best quality of supplements and following the unconventional advice of other fertility experts

The revolutionary bottom-up approach of Brainspotting Therapy

Katie  15:50

• By identifying activation spots or ‘discomforts’ as clues, its goal is to bring someone from a state of dysregulation to regulation.

Addressing the underlying, tethered emotions of sadness and anger

Juanique 21:34

• After the mindset workshops and other modalities, you become ready to repattern your brain. Processing emotions heal triggers and trauma that sever the mind-body connection.

Influential gurus and the “Yes, Please” game

Katie 29:51

• Realizing the negativity surrounding menstrual cycles to shifting to a positive outlook each time there’s another pregnant woman passing by

Show Summary: 

"Whether you get the vaccine or natural infection from COVID, the spike protein destroys the blood vessels which causes clots that restrict oxygen flow. Numbness and systemic inflammation occur to critically-high functioning organs like your heart and brain. The immune system also produces abnormal lymphocytes, so you get deranged responses that last for months."

COVID-19 has shaken the world since 2020. Encountering medical cases that were previously unheard of, the future may seem bleak and frightening. And with the threat looming to wreck our bodies in unpredictable ways, prioritizing our overall health is of utmost importance.

Since COVID is a new virus, we are still in the early stages of understanding and having information about it. Therefore, doctors also collaborate and share data from their on-the-ground experiences so they can have an answer for every patient that struggles with weird, post-recovery symptoms.

Our guest, Dr. Elise Mecham, MD, is a plastic surgeon specializing in microvascular reconstruction for breast cancer patients. As a daughter, wife, and mom of five from Utah Valley, she wanted to ensure the health and safety of her loved ones with co-morbidities. Driven by curiosity and personal duty, she relentlessly researches about Covid during her free time.

Learn helpful insights from her as a doctor, including her private protocol and recovery experience from COVID, by listening to Episode 45 of the Gutsy Health Podcast!

Exceptional Highlights:

• Healthy, normal children are at low risk for COVID because their tiny bodies cannot carry ACE receptors in their passageways and airways.
• Intermittent fasting between the 14 to 16-hour mark clears spike protein due to cellular turnover.
• A Utah law protects physicians from using safe, repurposed medications to treat illnesses off-label.

Show Highlights:

The medical dichotomy among doctors

Juanique 03:42

• The first group of doctors ascribes to a dogmatic and authoritative science, especially from what they learned in medical school. The second group is pragmatic and unafraid to question the status quo when met with conflicting data from the ground.

The COVID-19 definition as a Coronavirus variant

Dr. Elise Mecham 19:07

• As a common cold or gastrointestinal virus, the COVID-19 version has a specific spike protein responsible for causing microvascular damage to the blood vessels that turn into tiny and massive clots all over the body. 

Ivermectin is a Nobel Peace Prize medication required by the World Health Organization.

Dr. Elise Mecham 51:00

• Initially developed as an antiphrastic cure for river blindness, recent studies that portrayed it as dangerous used lethally high doses.

"Cold therapy is one of the best things you can do for vagal tone. When people are chronically in fight or flight, it gets you out of that and helps you get you into parasympathetic states again.”

Despite our earnest attempts for vitality, no one is exempt from experiencing stress, depression, inflammation and other kinds of neurological disturbances. When your body is groaning in agony and your mind is buried in a deep, dark place, you may not realize it but getting shocked to reset your system is just what you desperately need.

And because it happens even to the most health conscious of us, knowing the advanced modalities out there gives you an edge especially when you’re a case that doctors can’t point a finger to. Along with the famed Hyperbaric Chamber available at Provo Health, there’s also the Cryotherapy Chamber which is also a game changer in making you feel amazing once again - for only three minutes.

Our guest, Michelle Chambers, is the owner of the fascinating wellness center, Soul Inception. Briefly sharing how she intentionally paused her first business to pursue the ultimate goal of helping people, this zen den has been built beside Provo Health and the rest is history.

Find out more about her full-body Cryotherapy Chamber and other phenomenal healing modalities by listening to Episode 43 of the Gutsy Health Podcast!

Exceptional Highlights:

• Cold therapy induces the release of happy hormones such as endorphins, serotonin and dopamine, while relieving pain and inflammation instantly.
• Electric cold therapy is better than ice baths and cold plunges because it penetrates the tissues better. You also leave the chamber dry, so it’s comfortable and not bone-chilling cold.
• Weight loss can be a benefit as the body reheats itself and burns calories as a result.

Show Highlights:

Health struggles and healing protocol she prescribed to herself
Juanique 00:57

• Experiencing neurological issues that almost left her debilitated and unable to live a normal life, ketamine, hyperbaric chamber, and cryotherapy dramatically got her back on her feet.

System reset through Cryotherapy
Juanique and Michelle 05:27

• When experiencing negative energy and the general feeling of malaise, popping inside the chamber instantly lifts mood and tones down inflammation and pain.

Other benefits of Cryotherapy
Juanique 17:04

• Hashimoto’s, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis patients have experienced immediate relief from their symptoms. It also improves immune function and post-surgery recovery.

Show Summary: 

"Women have been lied to over and over again. It's common to assume that period symptoms are normal because everybody has them. But imagine a life where you're no longer planning around your monthly cycle. You're not falling apart, your energy is consistent, and your mood is good and stable."

Most women expect a dreadful Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) every month. Nausea, cramping, and migraines are just a few symptoms that female adolescents expect, and there's no other way to deal but through pain relievers and birth control pills.

Suffering from dramatic periods as an adolescent, she is unwilling to accept conventional medicine as the final solution. Yet, without a logical explanation from her doctor, she refused to believe this was her fate.

Our guest, Dr. Annie Savage, is a naturopathic physician trained in female hormones, functional endocrinology, and bio-identical hormone therapy. For her, symptom-free periods are possible as long as the four pillars of hormone health are in place. And through her profession and TikTok presence, she continues to educate and bust myths about women's health and monthly cycles.

Enjoy life with balanced hormones. Listen to Episode 47 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

• Birth control pills have health ramifications, such as higher chances of breast cancer and decreased microbiome, which is crucial for gut health.
• In general, doctors are not holistic nutritionists. Their expertise lies in prescribing the drugs or medicines that help relieve a symptom.
• The liver metabolizes excess estrogen as solid waste. But when bad estrogen rises due to inflammation, indigestion and constipation clog our system. This literal toxic cycle is the root cause of numerous diseases.

Show Highlights:

Hormone imbalances can cause you to feel like a different person.
Dr. Annie Savage 09:40

• Prescribed birth control pills lower your testosterone, impacting your mood, libido, and energy levels.

Toxic load mostly comes from cosmetics, cleaning, and body care products. 
Dr. Annie Savage 28:25

• Women put on five pounds of toxins per year. Marketing pushes chemical products for the hair and face, and many forget that the skin absorbs these easily. 

 
DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) method explained
Dr. Annie Savage 34:43

• Extracting metabolites that measure estrogen forms and wastes, saliva, or urine, is ideal for hormone testing. It helps us see how much estrogen goes to the liver and the support needed for bio-identical hormones.

 
Mainstream medicine's lack of holistic perspective
Dr. Annie Savage 41:27

• The mainstream medical system says, "Ignore your body. This drug covers up what's going on. Don't worry, and it's all good." On the flip side, functional medicine, naturopathic doctors, and holistic nutritionists focus on physiology, biochemistry, and addressing vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Show Summary: 

"Let's talk about staying healthy during the holidays. Hopefully, maintaining healthy habits is not overwhelming but fun to do. You are excited to do it for the 'future you'. So when Thanksgiving, Christmas, and work parties come by, you are bombarded with sweets and fun food. What do you do?"

The holidays have arrived. And since 'tis, the season for gatherings with family and friends, equating free-flowing food with happiness and connection seems to be automatic.

This is why extending healthy eating during festivities can be so challenging. Instead of looking at it as a diet or restriction, flipping your perspective on how to make it a lifestyle will make it more sustainable for the long term.

Here at the Gutsy Health Podcast, we teach you the tools and mindset to avoid binge eating, pacify those cravings, and have zero guilt and shame regarding food. 

In this episode, we reveal these helpful steps so that the food you eat leaves you satisfied and glowing as you enter the new year.

Stay sane and healthy even during holidays. Join us and listen to Episode 48 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

• Living off the diet ratio of 70% healing food and 30% fun food helps avoid the feeling of deprivation and the need for self-indulgence.
• Have an ideal future self in mind to help you make healthy choices when the moment to decide arises.
• Supplementing with magnesium curbs sugar cravings because of ATP production and other beneficial enzymatic activities.

Show Highlights: 

Comparison of the effectiveness of the cold turkey method versus the 1% method.

Juanique 06:23

• Cold turkey is usually effective when a life-threatening situation warrants immediate change. For the general majority, continuously improving in 1% increments offers less friction and stacks up over time.

Couple your healthy chores with your favorite leisure activities.

Juanique 10:29

• Habits should be easy and attractive. For example, when shifting to a healthier lifestyle, look forward to pre-chopping your vegetables while simultaneously listening to an audiobook.

Overriding your body's chemistry is close to impossible.

Juanique 17:35

• It's not a question of willpower. Consuming green smoothies or other nutrient-dense meals replenishes your body's nutritional deficiencies, stabilizing your energy and stopping uncontrollable cravings.

Start new traditions and involve the family in your lifestyle change

Juanique 25:32

• Which celebrations serve and spark joy? Instead of sitting down all night to catch up and gorge on food, starting new traditions like creating ornaments or hosting games encourage interaction and tighten family bonds.

Biological billionaires don't count pennies when it comes to eating food.

Juanique 28:19

• Biological billionaires who followed the 70/30 rule could afford to eat whatever they wanted without taking a major inflammatory hit. But for those who lived off the opposite negative 30/70 ratio, the Digestion Restoration workshop will greatly help overturn that.

Show Summary: 

"If there is anything we would have changed in our healing journey, before going into the body, we would have gone to the emotions and worked on the heart and soul first. Mindset includes being mindful, regulating your nervous system, processing your feelings, and connecting to your body."

As a society, we are hardwired to base our worth on our achievements. Driven daily by motivation and other people's successes, we take pride in overworking to exhaustion. Our bodies beg for pause and rest, yet we cannot sit still, even for a moment.

The mind, body, and soul are created to be connected. And if this connection is severed, like an engine out of alignment, it is only a matter of time before it conks out with weird, uncontrollable issues.

Today we feature our beloved Gutsy Podcast co-host, Gina Worful. As a certified dietitian and holder of a Master's in Human Nutrition, she narrates the story of her traumatic birth and the lifelong impact of that experience imprinted on her body.

Gina has always been obsessed with health through her mom's influence. Coming from a cheerful, tight-knit family, she even formed her identity by building a company with her sister, which, as it turns out, she would leave later.

Such fateful events led to her rock bottom, which also embarked her on an inward journey of identifying the root cause of her troubles and finally having a deeper understanding of the true meaning of wholeness to living a healthy, happy life.

More than just following and researching protocols, know first there is a soul and science of healing. Join us and listen to Episode 49 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

• Birth trauma leaves an indelible imprint on a newborn's subconscious, influencing how they will live and cope with life.
• Stress has become so normalized to the point of numbing us from discomforts and disconnecting our hearts and minds from our bodies.
• Perceive healing as a lifelong gift where leaning into and listening to your body feels joyful and effortless.

Show Highlights: 

Ask your mother about your birth to know your origin and yourself fully.

Gina Worful 6:51

• As a newborn, she received 25 needles to draw blood from her tiny body, including two spinal taps where her nervous system was. Her mother cried out of pity after hearing her horrific screams, not knowing that it was her infant daughter experiencing the ordeal.

Unresolved anxieties can become physical manifestations when not recognized and treated early on.

Gina Worful 13:48

• Built-up stress has desensitized her to the uncomfortable sensations her body was feeling - stiff neck, clenched jaw, tension headaches, and imbalanced hormones.

The psychology of fear and terror is why we betray our bodies.

Gina Worful 24:10

• Pleasure drives the ego, and it exists on its own. If intense pain happens, it splits from the body for 'self-preservation.'

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

Gina Worful 36:39

• At the peak of her body raging against her in the form of weight gain and crazy hormones, she crossed paths with her life mentor at a San Diego conference.

 Show Summary: 

"Based on the scientific research of Dr. Jed Fahey, who started the Chemo Protective Institute at Johns Hopkins University, cruciferous Moringa and Broccoli share closest properties such as the NRF2 pathways and sulforaphane, which detoxifies and fights off cancer."

Moringa is the phenomenal superfood you never thought you needed. A humble yet miraculous tree found in third world countries, its leaves are the locals' secret that keeps their bodies healthy and strong. 

Declared the national vegetable in the Philippines and a staple of ancient Ayurvedic medicine, it is a source of 49 vitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids, not to mention the abundant medicinal benefits of its tiny leaves and the entire tree.

Our guest, Lisa Curtis, is the CEO and Founder of Kuli Kuli Inc. She was a former Peace Corps assigned to Niger, Africa, and as a vegetarian, she survived only through the subsistence of rice and millet. Feeling terrible, she soon learned of the amazing Kuli Kuli, or what is globally known as Moringa Oleifera.

After including Moringa in her daily diet, she dramatically felt energized, and her joints hurt much less. Then, through more profound research, she knew that bringing it to America would positively impact more people and even help save the planet. As a result, they distribute 90% of their products with post-consumer recycled plastic and have planted 24 million trees in their supply chain.

Combat malnutrition and hunger in your own home through Moringa. Join us and listen to Episode 49 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

• Offering a wide range of health benefits, the Moringa has high fiber, helps with satiety, weight management, blood sugar, and cholesterol control, and even lactation enhancement for breastfeeding moms.
• Moringa has nine times more protein than yogurt, ten times more vitamin A than carrots, 15 times more potassium than bananas, 17 times more calcium than milk, and 25 times more iron than spinach.
• Moringa is more bioavailable than Turmeric, which means that the absorption rate of its potent active ingredients is higher.

Show Highlights: 

Pickers communities in the US are obsessed with Moringa because it provides everything the body needs. 

Lisa Curtis 09:32

• Composed of 80% water, it has more space to carry macronutrients and phytonutrients in its leaves. It's also anti-inflammation, anti-cancer, and a cruciferous vegetable.

Kuli Kuli products contain 400 to 500 milligrams of active Moringa ingredients.

Lisa Curtis 18:03 

• Moringa can be mixed in for lattes, oatmeal, and pancakes. Superfood shakes, peanut butter, chocolate bars, and gummies are also perfect for kids. Use the code GUTSY to get 30% off when you order.

Kale's origin as a superfood example of how it took time before it became widely accepted

Lisa Curtis 28:04 

• Kale was a backyard weed that Pizza Hut only purchased as a garnish or a salad bar ornament fifteen years ago. Since then, the American palate has evolved and is more open to bitter tastes due to its superior nutritional content.

Show Summary:

"I started working at her second ovarian cancer recurrence, and there's more metastasis. She cried and said, 'My cancer came back because I had chocolate cake at my daughter's birthday.' That was a pivotal moment in my practice, so I said, 'I think it's more important that you focus on the joy of your daughter's birthday and that you enjoyed that chocolate cake."

Confirming a cancer diagnosis can feel like a death sentence. The fear surrounding it, on top of pity and well-meaning suggestions from family and friends, adds to the confusion and stress of the situation.

That is why navigating a clear path to healing can be challenging, and finding a cancer care plan that is compassionate and humane is a breath of fresh air in nursing the patient back to vibrant health.

Our guest, Dr. Bianca Di Giulio, L.Ac., is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. Co-authoring a book on Integrative Oncology with her husband, they established two clinics in the Bay Area, California, where the medical paradigms and practices of the East and West are married for a safe, holistic and natural way of healing.

Beat the Big C with a plan. Listen to Episode 51 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

• Chinese Medicine is highly individualized, where aside from herbs and nutritional advice, recommendations consider a person's habits, lifestyle, and even state of mind and emotions.

• Acupuncture is a pivotal gateway toward integrative cancer care. Aside from empirical research based on 5000 years of Chinese Medicine, PubMed also has thousands of studies supporting it.

• Consuming cold food, especially in the morning, is like taking a cold bomb. It inhibits the absorption and metabolism of food and fluids, which generates the powerful chi energy in the body.

Show Highlights:

Integrative is a beautiful blend of multiple principles, approaches, and therapeutics to optimize health and wellness.

Dr. Bianca Di Giulio 08:56

• Western oncology requires labs, scans, and blood work to monitor tumor progression. At the same time, it’s translated into Chinese medicine principles and theories, such as asking if there's an emotional component.

Slowly developed over fifteen years, Acupuncture headlines the six-week formula of her Insight Cancer Program.

Dr. Bianca Di Giulio 29:01

• By targeting specific acupuncture points in combination with chemotherapy and radiation, the synergy among those points is where the medicine is.

Chinese herbal medicine entails putting together multiple herbs that harness their synergy. 

Dr. Bianca Di Giulio 35:02 

• Astragalus, or Huáng qí, increases the white blood cells and strengthens the immune system. Danshen breaks down the cells' fibrin barrier to synthesize and potentiate the radioactive component of chemotherapy. Cordyceps offers a protective mechanism for breast cancer patients who receive Herceptin.

Show Summary: 

"So my sister was diagnosed with LCIS, and there were areas of concern on her breast. The doctor recommended 'watch and wait' or mastectomy, and she was in turmoil. I asked her to take progesterone hormones, and after a month, she went back for her MRI, and the abnormal cells were undetectable."

Conventional medicine entails treating patients already in the end stages of their diseases. However, even if this is the norm, it pays to ask if there is anything we can do to correct or arrest an illness before it becomes chronic or fatal.

What if we can prevent sickness? Are there destructive lifestyle habits or seismic life shifts that are worth noting? What other factors contributed to today's results? When it comes to health, these are the underlying questions that beg for answers.

Our guest, Sharon Miller Keller, is a nurse practitioner and gives custom consultations on female hormones at Provo Health. With a long history in patient care, she gained hands-on medical experience in the Navy and later became a surgical oncology nurse for 17 years. After raising her kids, she also finished the Family Nurse Practitioner program at Gonzaga University.

In this episode, she is our in-house resource on Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. On top of real-life experiences, Sharon shares her in-depth research on why hormone supplementation could spell the health breakthrough you need.

Live life's goodness by having the right hormones. Listen to Episode 52 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

• Progesterone is an anti-inflammatory hormone that protects the heart, brain, and breast from diseases like cancer. It also minimizes bleeding caused by menopause and childbirth.
• Intense regular workouts are detrimental for women. During the monthly luteal phase, the sex organs receive the most resources from the body in preparation for procreation.

Show Highlights:

Traditional medicine tends to avoid hormones because of their potential to cause cancers.

Sharon 06:46

• Synthetic hormones such as synthetic progesterone and conjugated equine estrogens were prevalent in the seventies. While they alleviate symptoms, they can also cause unwanted side effects.

Low levels of progesterone can affect your overall well-being.

Sharon 19:19

• Symptoms of low progesterone can affect your moods and mental health, such as anxiety, depression, irritability, trouble sleeping, inflammation, painful joints, gut disturbances, and osteoporosis.

Explanation of different hormone tests and their respective pros and cons.

Sharon 27:34

• The saliva test is the most expensive because it gives you the most accurate and expansive picture of your health. The more affordable serum test comes from your blood but only gives you a limited view. The DUTCH test measures a person's ability to metabolize and methylate estrogen so the body can use or dispose of it properly.

Show Summary: 

"About 30 years ago, a patient stomped into my office. She wanted me to pay attention because she said she was going crazy, which was a surprise. After all, this is a very successful woman who retired in her mid-40s. She was in perimenopause, so I gave her some progesterone. Three weeks later, I got a letter from her saying, 'Oh my god, I can't believe this. I'm myself again, thank you so much.' That caught my attention because this was a dramatic result. It happened with so little time."

Women who undergo midlife crises are often punctuated with the unpleasant effects of menopause. Aside from hot flashes, mood swings, sleeping disorders, body aches, muscle loss, osteoporosis, and incontinence can easily diminish their confidence and self-esteem. At the ripe age when knowledge, experience, and wisdom are supposedly at their peak, the sudden hormone shift can cause their life to fall over the cliff.

Our guest, Dr. Daved Rosensweet, M.D., is a world-renowned menopause expert. Guided by a deep sense of purpose and passion for holistic medicine, his mission is to heal and turn the tide of this planet. Specializing in women's hormones for the past 30 years.

In this episode, we shall know of the elegant benefits of bioidentical hormones in supporting the menopausal stage. Aside from easing the dreaded symptoms, women now have a choice to significantly extend and live out their gifts even past their prime years.

Exceptional Highlights:

• For about 1000 years, Chinese aristocrats replenish their hormones by collecting the pee of young men and women. Rich in metabolites, dried urine served to maintain health and youthfulness.
• Premarin was the most popular and profitable hormone supplement in the US from the 1960s. Its name also comes from its origin known as pregnant mare urine.

Show Highlights:

The Women's Health Initiative study in 2002 has caused the majority of 18 million American women to miss out on the benefits of taking Premarin.

Dr. Daved Rosensweet 13:31

• Horse-derived urine alone reduces the risk of breast cancer, heart attack, and stroke. But in the study, it was combined with the problematic artificial progestin. Despite the statistically insignificant 1.26 relative risk, the media sensationalized the findings that were redacted later on.

Breast cancer is rare in pregnant women, whose estrogen and progesterone are a hundred times higher compared to non-pregnant women.

Dr. Daved Rosensweet 21:23

• Though high levels of estrogen and progesterone have been linked to breast cancer, as a multifactorial disease, genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors also contribute to its development.

The best time to consider bioidentical hormones is as early as possible. Women's estrogen and progesterone levels peak during their 20s, then decline.

Dr. Daved Rosensweet 30:46

• Start paying attention to hormonal balance if symptoms include brain fog, irregular periods, breast tenderness, headaches, or PMS.

Show Summary:

“I became numb because it was so heavy. Yet one of the Gutsy Health coaches taught me to feel my body and process my emotions, not look and hold on to the pain as a bad thing. It was hard, but it’s now a beautiful part of me.”


Your body is your temple. And when it's functioning as expected, taking it for granted, ignoring its subtle signs for help, and altogether shoving its needs aside is a path all too easy to take. Until it gets ugly it catches your attention.


You may not know it yet but your body is doing its best to keep you alive. When you educate yourself and begin to grasp the depth of that sentence alone, you would definitely love and appreciate your body more.


Our guest, Taylor Herrera, is an expert of her own healing journey. After undergoing the ordeal of irregular cycles then two life-threatening ectopic pregnancies, she took matters into her own hands by signing up to the Gutsy Health Membership. Here she shares the amazing support of mentors and fellow members, as well as the profound realizations and breakthroughs she is longing to have for her own body.


Connect and hear what your body is telling you. Join us and listen to Episode 54 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

• Ectopic pregnancy happens when the fertilized egg implants itself in one of the fallopian tubes. This is a pregnancy risk because the embryo cannot grow outside of the uterus and it causes bleeding. 
• Connecting with your body and trusting that it’s on your side is one of the most important mindset shifts you’ll ever make.
• Emotions develop by the age of seven and this is why talking to your younger self will guide you to address unresolved issues that you had no words for at the time.
  
  
  

Show Highlights: 

The serious agony of forming two ectopic pregnancies in a short period of time.

Taylor 10:35

• From her first ectopic pregnancy, the surgeon removed her left fallopian tube and left a little horn on her right fallopian tube. So when she got pregnant again, the embryo floated up into that little horn which caused her to bleed.

Being part of the Gutsy Health Membership is the best thing that happened to her.

Taylor 19:44

• If not for the losses, she wouldn’t be able to know herself and she owes her healing to the support she had inside the community.

Other takeaways from the program that she’ll bring with her forever.

Taylor 24:52

• Learning different ways to cook food empowered her body to cope with the aftermath of her surgeries.

Your body just needs you to acknowledge, honor and recognize the message that it’s sending you.

Juanique 33:55

• Normal tendency is to set aside, escape or get rid of negative feelings. Instead, slowing down and just going through the whole spectrum of emotions, thoughts and sensations is what your body needs to heal holistically.

"After I finished my second liver cleanse, my eczema and acne were completely gone. My hair started growing, and my energy was back. I could get out of bed in the morning and wasn't falling asleep at one o'clock anymore. At last, I could see many significant shifts happening.”

Motherhood can be a lonely and difficult journey, especially if societal expectations bombard women about how they should look and feel. After each childbirth, one may experience extreme fatigue, postpartum depression, chronic yeast infections, thyroid dysfunction, weight gain as well as other ailments.

The harsh reality is that when most mothers seek answers for various symptoms, doctors often dismiss their health issues as normal, and worse, they are not trying hard enough to lose weight. This experience can leave desperate mamas feeling isolated and frustrated, not knowing where to seek help.

Today, our guest is Sarah Williams, one of the pioneer Gutsy Health members. She shares her life-changing journey after committing herself to the initial process of liver cleanse. Giving birth to her third child has caused her to suffer from disruptive changes to her mind and body. And after a heart-wrenching doctor's appointment, she became determined to take charge of her health. 

In this episode, you'll learn how she became an expert on her body by studying how it works and paying attention to its signals. Hence, it is also essential for other moms to realize how knowing their post-birth bodies can be empowering.

"Tristan's death taught me my power. But my illness taught me to be gentle and submissive to what it actually takes to honor yourself and your boundaries. I thought I knew what ease and grace were, but the dysfunction literally disabled me so I could learn my lesson."

Losing a loved one is one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. The emotional weight of watching someone you care about fade away is excruciating and can cause a heavy toll on the body and mind.

A year after her husband's death, she felt as though an atomic bomb had gone off in her body, leaving her struggling with a multitude of symptoms, including those similar to Lyme disease, MCAS, Epstein-Barr syndrome, multiple sclerosis, depression, and anxiety.

Despite the harrowing nature of her situation, she refused to give up. Follow along as she pulls the curtain to her recent past and reveals her profound insights after a year of self-discovery and healing.

Kambo medicine provided a powerful reminder to give her body the needed rest and care.

Juanique Roney 32:19

• When the body is in service to the mind, we get disease and dysfunction. But when the body is in service to the heart and soul, we can experience health, pleasure, joy, love, excitement, and inspiration. 

As women, we live with the societal pressure to conform to the masculine energy of constant achievement and forward momentum, which can be detrimental to our well-being. 

Gina Worful 40:30

• True feminine power comes from embracing and honoring the natural flow of life, and this can be achieved by being mindful of one's energy and seasons in work and business.

By paying attention to your body's physical sensations and emotions, you can understand what aligns with your true self. 

Juanique Roney 51:19

• Take a moment to breathe deeply and release any tension in your mind. Then, practice identifying what brings you contraction and expansion in your life, and make adjustments accordingly.

"This should be a fundamental business lesson for everyone; No matter what people say to you or promise you when they tell you not to bring a lawyer to a contract signing, don't listen. I made that mistake, and it cost me everything. It represented my lack of self-confidence in doing this on my own and my lack of self-love and boundaries.”

Controversy is brewing in the medical industry, and it’s time we pay attention. Finally, the lies and misinformation perpetuated by the so-called "medicinal matrix" are being exposed, thanks to the bravery of a few medical professionals speaking out.

• California Senate Bill 276, passed in 2018, requires all children in public schools to have a total of 72 mandatory vaccine doses.
• Healing is an inside job. Outsourcing power and knowledge to social media, health professionals, and pharmaceuticals will only create codependency. 

Show Highlights: 

The widespread over-prescription of medication, conflicts of interest with corporations, and disregard for patient well-being plague the mainstream medicinal system today.

Dr. Jess Peatross 03:51

• Despite Dr. Jess’s concerns, no one else questioned the multiple cracks in the system. This led to her exiting the hospital and practicing integrative medicine and Gerson therapy instead.

Dr. Jess was given a very poignant learning opportunity to step into her full-blown power right after leaving hospital medicine. 

Dr. Jess Peatross 06:19

People are flooding emergency departments because they lack information on improving their natural immunity.

Dr. Jess Peatross 30:07

• Healthcare providers should advise on vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, zinc, and vitamin D, instead of solely promoting pharmaceutical drugs.

“I grew a benign tumor, but instead of surgery, I tried to visualize healing it with my mind. In two weeks, the tumor shrank by half, surprising my doctor and teaching me about the mind-body connection.”

There is no denying that science has made remarkable strides in helping us understand our bodies’ inner workings. However, despite this wealth of knowledge, we still struggle to grasp the complete picture of our health and wellness.

Missing pieces in our current healthcare system cannot be resolved by scientific knowledge, integrative functional medicine, and energy work alone. Enter medical intuition, which bridges the gap between science, heart, and soul.

We welcome Wendie Colter to the Gutsy Health Podcast, a Medical Intuitive and Founder of the Practical Path who shares her expertise on this transformative approach to healing.

We'll examine the evidence supporting this intuitive system, explore its role in healing, and discover how it can enhance all healing modalities.

Learn to harness this essential skill for optimal health.  Listen to Episode 58 of the Gutsy Health Podcast!

• Medical intuition is the art of listening to your body's wisdom. By paying attention to your physical sensations, emotions, and energy levels, you can make smarter decisions for your health.
• We are all born highly intuitive and energetic beings but tend to sublimate and ignore this gift as we age.
• Anyone can develop a mind-body connection by learning to tune into their own thoughts and bodily sensations.

Show Highlights: 


There are different types of intuitive skill sets, but the most common for highly sensitive people is clairsentience, the ability to feel the emotions of others.

Wendie Colter 04:09

• Nurses, in particular, are so clairsentient that they quickly pick up on the collective energy of the room they’re in and act on it, which can sometimes be overwhelming.

Medical intuition is not a healing modality or a medical intervention but rather a foundational skill that can be used to support all forms of medicine.

Wendie Colter 11:50

• Using this skill set, individuals learn what their bodies are telling them and work in partnership with their healthcare team to create a better path to health.

Trained medical intuitive are highly skilled at accurately identifying the health problems of their patients.

Wendie Colter 39:30

• Colter's study found that students who completed her Certification Program had 94% accuracy in identifying primary health problems, 98% in describing life events, and 93% in connecting life events to health problems.

"Parasites can overgrow due to an unhealthy diet, chemical exposure, and an unnatural lifestyle, leading to illness. Parasite protocols can help decrease their numbers drastically and restore balance in the body.”


Are you struggling with unexplained health issues and a feeling that something isn't quite right with your body? Then, it's time to consider a possible source you may have overlooked - parasites.


These insidious invaders can enter the body unnoticed and wreak havoc on our health, leading to a range of debilitating symptoms that may seem unrelated. However, the damage caused by parasites is very real and can have long-lasting effects if not appropriately addressed.


Thankfully, armed with the proper knowledge and tools, we can reduce their numbers, restore balance to the body, and potentially feel better than ever.


Join us as we explore the fascinating world of parasites, reveal the latest insights, and learn how parasites impact your health. Listen to Episode 59 of the Gutsy Health Podcast!

Show Highlights: 

According to the terrain theory, our modern lifestyle can be a perfect breeding ground for parasites.

Juanique Roney 06:08

• Artificial foods, chemical exposure, toxins, and heavy metals make a parasitic environment extremely conducive.

Anyone can contract parasites in various ways, including exposure to contaminated water, soil, or food. 

Juanique Roney 09:33

• Juanique shares her story growing up with 15 pets, swimming in lakes, and not washing produce properly, which could all be ways to contract parasites.

Parasites can be grouped into three types: ticks and lice, roundworms and flatworms, and protozoan parasites.

Juanique Roney 20:55

• Several of these can cause diarrhea, IBS, IBD, Crohn's disease, autoimmune dysfunction, and liver or gallbladder issues.

Digestive issues are a common sign of hosting parasites, but symptoms can also include anxiety, brain fog, lethargy, eczema, teeth grinding, anemia, and hormonal imbalances.

Juanique Roney 27:31

“Learning about my body's physiology has been empowering. I now understand how small changes in my environment and consumption can greatly impact my well-being. As a result, I don’t rely solely on experts to take control of my health.”

Illness can often feel like nothing more than a hindrance, weighing you down and disrupting your daily life. But what if it could be the catalyst for transformative healing?

We’ll explore this unconventional perspective with our guest and Gutsy Health member, Kristina Funk. Kristina had always been interested in healing the body, but after experiencing a series of stressful events, she fell into emotional eating and felt ashamed of her body.

It wasn't until experiencing severe irritable bowel syndrome that Kristina took her health seriously. Despite testing negative for parasites, she instinctively knew to do a parasite cleanse and thus began her healing journey.

In this episode, discover how changing your mindset and slowing down can lead to a more profound healing experience.

Let’s rewire your brain for health. Tune in to Episode 60 of the Gutsy Health Podcast to learn more!

Exceptional Highlights:

• Illness can be the best teacher if we listen to what it's trying to tell us.
• You can be safe in your body even if you feel uncomfortable, and your worth is innate.
• It is not your symptoms causing you stress but the stories you create around those symptoms that cause the problem.

Show Highlights: 

We subject ourselves to emotional torture when cognitive dissonance exists between our knowledge and our behaviors.

Kris Funk 6:26

• By listening to the podcast, Kris approached her relationship with food and body with gentleness and compassion.

When you feel negative or go into a shame spiral, pause and recognize the inner child in you that needs love and healing. 

Kris Funk 19:33

• When physical symptoms arise, remember that your body is trying to tell you something, which is your cue to listen. 

Instead of judging sickness as bad, view it as a signal for your body to slow down and take a break.

Kris Funk 29:16

• We should stop tying our worth to productivity and remind ourselves that it’s okay to rest and take up space.

Shifting your internal dialogue from “I have to heal” to “I get to nurture my body” can be life-changing.

Juanique Roney 44:14

• The body is capable of healing, so we no longer have to identify as sick anymore.

You are the expert of your own body. 

Juanique Roney 55:18

• Learning to tap into your internal source and power is possible, yet a supportive community that understands and reinforces this power can be precious.

Show Summary:

“I struggled with depression, anxiety, and substance abuse for most of my adult life. While traditional medication and ayahuasca helped, they failed to address all of my issues. Working with my therapist on ketamine-assisted psychotherapy mostly cured my PTSD.”

Mental health is a major health concern in our world today, affecting 1 in 3 Americans who suffer from anxiety and depression, costing billions to the economy. Despite this pressing issue, mental health treatment has seen little change in the past 50 years. Patients receive disjointed care, with very limited interaction between their therapist and prescriber, resulting in inadequate treatment.

But there is hope. Psychedelics are a game-changing development in mental health treatment, representing the first significant shift in this field in half a century.

Jonathan Sabbagh, founder of Journey Clinical, knows firsthand the transformative benefits of plant medicine and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). After experiencing burnout and receiving a difficult PTSD diagnosis, he left the world of finance to focus on his mental health. Now, his mission is to help licensed mental health professionals deliver KAP on a larger scale.

Join us in this episode as we explore the power of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and psychedelics to revolutionize mental health treatment and offer much-needed support to those in need.

“Cortisol is highly anti-immune support. It can cause cells to shut down and trigger a cell danger response or create inflammation by over-stressing them. This excessive stress on the body leads to so much immune dysfunction, creating the perfect storm for nasty things to thrive.”

Have you ever experienced a sudden breakdown in your immune system, leaving you feeling sick and helpless? It's a frustrating and debilitating experience, often made worse by doctors dismissing our symptoms or attributing them to our imagination.

Show Summary: 

“Trusting your body as the guide is at the heart of any non-diet approach. Become a partner to yourself and allow your body to lead the way on what to eat. As you teach your brain and body that restricted food is not the enemy, you can learn to savor food mindfully and in a truly connected way.”

For centuries, we have been conditioned to believe that our appearance defines our worth, and have been exposed to diet culture’s toxic messaging. Despite our attempts to change our eating habits, we often feel more disconnected and frustrated with our bodies.

It's no wonder we have a complicated connection with food. But can we ditch the diet mindset and embrace a healthy relationship between eating and our bodies?

Stephanie Dodier, a Clinical Nutritionist CNP, and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor joins us to share her journey with diet culture and body shaming, and how she transformed her relationship with food. In this episode, we'll explore the beauty of intuitive eating, how emotions impact our digestion, and honoring our bodies without rigid dieting.

“Your health should always be top priority. If a tooth that has had a root canal is causing health issues, it might be necessary to remove the entire tooth to eliminate the infection and safeguard your well-being. While teeth can be replaced, your overall health cannot be compromised.”

For years, root canals have been viewed as a standard dental procedure aimed at preserving teeth and relieving pain. But what if there's more to them than meets the eye? Could these seemingly harmless dental procedures hold hidden dangers or elusive links to other health conditions?

Recent studies have unearthed captivating connections between root canals and systemic diseases like heart disease, autoimmune disorders, and even certain types of cancer. How does this happen? What is the underlying link between dental root canals and our overall well-being?

Join us in this engaging episode as we welcome Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, a Functional Integrative Dentist and passionate advocate for root canal removal. Together, we delve into root canal procedures, their potential impact on our bodies, and the strategies to address this issue.

Become an advocate for your own dental health. Tune in to Episode 71 of the Gutsy Health Podcast and embark on a journey of discovery!

• Metals, like titanium implants, can be impacted by frequencies, causing temperature increases and bone melting around them.
• Long-grade dental infections weaken the immune system, leading to exhaustion in a constant battle. This can contribute to serious conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and autoimmune diseases.

In this episode, we invite you to take a step back and reconnect with your higher self. Discover why information alone is not enough for healing, the reasons behind our self-sabotaging behaviors, and why taking a slower approach can result in a lasting recovery.

Show Summary: 

“Sweet proteins are proteins; they just taste sweet like sugar. But the big difference is unlike sugar and alternative sweeteners, they don't spike your blood sugar and don’t give you gut microbiome issues.”

Imagine a world where you can enjoy the sweetness of food without worrying about the harmful effects of sugar. It may sound too good to be true, but today, we're diving into a groundbreaking solution that has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach sweetness. 

Joining us on the podcast today are Jason Ryder, CTO, co-founder, and brilliant biochemical engineer, and Ali Wing, the visionary CEO of Oobli, a pioneering food technology company. Together, they aim to redefine sweetness and transform the food and beverage industry using naturally sweet proteins.

In this episode, we explore sweet proteins, how they help bend the global curve on diabetes and obesity, and their connection to positive impacting climate change.

Indulgence doesn't have to come at the expense of your well-being. Learn how taste and health can go hand in hand by tuning in to Episode 84 of the Gutsy Health Podcast! 

Exceptional Highlights:

• Sweet proteins like Brazzein from the Oubli fruit in West Africa are 500 to 2,000 times sweeter than sucrose, heat-stable, highly soluble, and require only a minuscule amount to deliver the desired sweetness. 
• Unlike sugars and some artificial sweeteners, they don't trigger insulin responses beyond the stomach and have no negative impact on the gut microbiome.
