239: In this episode, I sit down with the founders of WeNatal to talk all about fertility and the nutrients our bodies need for a healthy pregnancy. As many of you know, I’ve already declared 2025 my year of fertility, and I’m on a mission to learn everything I can to prepare for pregnancy. We talk about fertility myths, so-called "geriatric pregnancies," and the biggest factors affecting conception today. Both founders have experienced miscarriages, which led them to create a prenatal that truly supports the body’s needs. If you’re hoping to get pregnant this year or next, this episode is one you won’t want to miss. Topics Discussed: What nutrients are essential for a healthy pregnancy? How do stress and sleep impact fertility? What are the biggest misconceptions about "geriatric pregnancies"? How can men improve their fertility?

EP. 223 Renowned fitness expert Jillian Michaels joins me, Courtney Swan, for a candid exploration of the often turbulent relationship between politics and health. Jillian opens up about her lifelong journey as a Democrat in California, sharing her personal experiences and insights into the unsettling political shifts she has observed. As we exchange stories, I recount my own evolution from a Republican upbringing in Texas to embracing progressive causes, only to feel a sense of disillusionment with recent political developments. Together, we navigate our political dissonance, emphasizing respect, empathy, and the quest for clarity amidst a polarized world. The episode also delves into the pressing concerns about corporate influence and media manipulation. We confront contentious topics such as the use of drugs like Ozempic for weight loss, the obesity narrative, and the urgent need for regenerative farming. Through personal reflection and insightful discussion, we underscore the importance of remaining informed and open-minded, encouraging listeners to engage critically with the narratives that shape our lives.

153: I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with the remarkable Monica Yates, a trauma healer, feminine masculine embodiment coach and period whisper. We dove into an enlightening conversation about femininity, masculinity, and how modern movements have unintentionally devalued the inherent aspects of our biological identity. Monica shed light on her personal journey of growing up in a society where femininity was seen as a weakness, leading her to suppress her inherent feminine energy. Through our discussions, we explored the complex dynamics of feminine and masculine energies and how they influence our relationships, self-perception, and overall wellbeing. We delved into the importance of women's communities, the ramifications of toxic femininity, and how the fight for women's rights has changed our perception of domestic roles and tasks. Monica shed light on the importance of understanding the differences between men and women and how this understanding is crucial for nurturing healthier relationships.

Public pressure matters—and your voice can make a difference.

Welcome to Realfoodology, a podcast with Courtney Swan!  Episode 1 will be released September 9th, 2020.  Subscribe now!

1: Welcome to Episode 1 of The Realfoodolody Podcast!  I thought I’d start out this podcast giving you my background into how I got into health and ultimately pursued it as a career.  It started with childhood and an undergrad in communications.  I then took a detour through band tour managing with bands like 3OH!3, Third Eye Blind and Tove Lo which finally lead me to where I am today.  I'll be using my Masters of Science in Nutrition & Integrative Health to break it down with you, make it more digestible and easier to navigate.  Let’s get back to real food!

2: Today's subject is something that I consider to be the most important topic when it comes to food and our health: Organic vs Conventional food.There is a lot of confusion around the subject so I brought on my friend Max Goldberg for a candid conversation to clear things up and make it more digestible. Max has been called “an organic sensation” by The New York Times and named as “one of the nation’s leading organic food experts” by Shape Magazine. Max is the Founder & Editor of Organic Insider, a newsletter read by many of the most influential CEOs in the industry today. He also runs the Organic Food Industry group on LinkedIn, which counts more than 25,000 members from around the world. Max received his BA from Brown University and his MBA from the Columbia University Graduate School of Business.
