| 12 Feb 2023 | 15: Low Cortisol - What You Need to Know | Part Three | 00:29:26 | |
Today we are continuing the conversation about cortisol. We are at the final episode of the cortisol series. We started this 3-part series with a deep discussion of what exactly cortisol is - a thorough understanding of this is key for management. Last week we focused on high cortisol. In our overstressed and overworked society, cortisol is a common issue and can be overlooked if we are only looking through a conventional medicine lens. I run cortisol testing often in my practice and have yet to see a “normal” result. How is this possible? How can every single test show adrenal dysfunction? What does that tell us? We need to be asking “why”.

| 07 Mar 2023 | 19: LDL & HDL - An In Depth Look At Cardiovascular Risk | Part Two | 00:16:13 | |
Today we are zeroing in on the two lipoproteins that are the key players of a lipid panel – LDL and HDL. We have all heard that there is good and bad cholesterol – but what is it that makes them good or bad? Are all LDL and HDL created equal? Last week we talked broadly about what exactly cholesterol is and why it matters. We went in depth about cholesterol synthesis, the role it plays with our hormones, why we need cholesterol – though of course it has to be in balance. We discussed that cholesterol cannot travel throughout the body on its own – it needs a friend. We are jumping into the deep end and today’s show will hopefully open your eyes to all of the things in healthcare we are not usually looking at – which may in fact be the biggest influence with regards to our cardiovascular health!

| 28 Nov 2022 | 5: What's The Deal with Sugar? | 00:34:23 | |
Today we are going to talk about sugar. What is sugar – what are the different types of sugars, how do they affect the body, our hormones, and also obviously how do they affect our blood sugar. We’re going to talk about “natural” sugars vs processed sugars. We’re also going to talk about carbohydrates. Why do they matter and how do they contribute to the total body’s sugar burden. We are also going to address why we should even care about sugar. This is going to be a fun and interesting topic, at least in my opinion. I feel like it is a necessary subject so we are better informed and can make informed decisions regarding our intake of sugar, especially as we are in full swing of the holiday season.

| 26 Feb 2023 | 18: Cholesterol - Is It Really All Bad? Part One | 00:19:09 | |
We are diving deep into a new series today talking all about cholesterol. We demonize cholesterol in conventional medicine – and there are valid points to be concerned about elevated levels. There are also very valid reasons to not treat a “borderline” level. I had to throw that word in there. If you know me then you know that I hate that word – borderline. All that means is we are waiting for diagnosable disease. I would rather not get a full blown disease. Today we are going to discuss what cholesterol actually is. Why should we care about cholesterol.

| 23 Oct 2023 | 52: Cracking the Code: Understanding Motivation: Healthy Habits, Happy Life | 1 Year Anniversary Special | 00:47:18 | |
Friends – today marks the one year anniversary of this podcast. I cannot believe we’ve already put out 52 episodes, well, 52 after today! I am beyond appreciative for YOU! Each week, coming back, sending me DMs, emails – all the love. I am forever grateful. Today, as we dive into a thoroughly fascinating topic, I wanted to share a little more about me. Give you a glimpse into my life, my journey. I want to share some background as to why I went into healthcare in the first place… I have always been a right brain individual – theater, singing, painting, photography, writing…. When I made a sharp left, towards healthcare… left because this was going to require much more left brain than I was ever used to utilizing…. It came as a shock. To my family and my friends. At first glance, it seemed so out of character. The deeper I submerged myself into nursing, the more “right” it felt, guiding me throughout the 13 years I’ve been on this mission. Today, I want to talk about motivation. And use my story as a possible inspiration for you. Are you feeling stuck? Do you struggle with feeling motivated? I hear this a lot!

Today we are continuing the conversation about cortisol. This is part two in a series discussing cortisol. We are going to focus on high cortisol in this episode. This is what I see most often in my practice. We are in a society of perpetual stress and overstimulation, so this is not surprising. We are going to zero in on signs and symptoms of high cortisol and what some of the triggers and mediators of high cortisol are, the downstream effects of high cortisol, then we're going to talk about the management of high cortisol.

| 19 Mar 2023 | 21: Apolipoproteins - Apo B, Apo A1 - What Are They & Why Do They Matter? Part Three | 00:23:54 | |
Today we are continuing our cholesterol series. In Part One we discussed what cholesterol actually is, as it is often vilified in conventional medicine. We learned that our body needs cholesterol in order to build healthy cells. Cholesterol is a part of the outer layer of our cells, the membrane of the cells. It is also the initial part of the steroidogenic pathway. In Part Two we dove deep into LDL and HDL. We discussed that cholesterol cannot travel throughout the body on its own – it needs a friend. LDL is responsible for moving cholesterol throughout the body to the tissues, whereas HDL’s role is to bring cholesterol from the tissues back to the liver. Today we are going to discuss apolipoproteins, in particular, Apo B and Apo A. We are going to talk about what they are – the role they play in the body – the cardiovascular risks or benefits associated with higher levels.

| 04 Apr 2023 | 23: Genetics and Cholesterol | Important Genetic Factors You Need To Know! Part Four | 00:30:22 | |
Today we are continuing our cholesterol series. In part one – we discussed what cholesterol actually is. We learned that our body needs cholesterol in order to build healthy cells. Cholesterol is a part of the outer layer of our cells, the membrane of the cells. It is also the initial part of the steroidogenic pathway. In part two we dove deep into LDL and HDL. We discussed that cholesterol cannot travel throughout the body on its own – it needs a friend. LDL is responsible for moving cholesterol throughout the body to the tissues, whereas HDL’s role is to bring cholesterol from the tissues back to the liver. If you missed either of those episodes, I highly suggest you go back and listen to episodes 18 and 19. The information discussed in those shows will help to build the foundation for better understanding your cardiovascular health. In part three, we dove deep into apolipoproteins. We talked about their role in the regulation of lipoprotein metabolism and their impact on atherosclerotic disease. We discussed the differences between apolipoprotein B and apolipoprotein A.

| 12 Feb 2023 | 16: PCOS | Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome - What You Need to Know | 00:43:23 | |
Today we are going to do a deep dive into polycystic ovarian syndrome – also known as PCOS. This is a common issue amongst reproductive aged women and is the leading cause of infertility, affecting roughly 6-12 percent of women in the US. This condition is oftentimes looked at as a gynecology concern, but more body systems are actually involved, and more risks/concerns. We are going to define what exactly is PCOS, then we will get into risk factors and downstream effects. We will be talking about signs and symptoms of this condition. We will touch on how PCOS is diagnosed – and then finally we will get into management of PCOS.

Today I want to talk about a very interesting topic, glutamine. I first learned about glutamine at IFM, the Institute of Functional Medicine, where I received my formal functional medicine training. Glutamine is something that I have used as a supplement and also have recommended that many of my clients use for a period of time. Today’s show was prompted by a question from Neal. Neal asked, “I think I have leaky gut and was doing a few google searches and came across glutamine. Can this help with leaky gut?” Thank you, Neal, for your question. As a reminder, if you have an idea for or show, a question or comment – send me a DM, email, comment on a YouTube video and I will give you a shout out!

| 07 Jan 2024 | 62: The Path to Well-Being: Aligning Health Goals with Life's Purpose | 00:25:28 | |
In today's episode, we delve into the profound connection between health and purpose. Our journey starts with understanding the pivotal role of purpose in our health. It's not just about following trends or achieving superficial goals; it's about aligning our health endeavors with our deeper values and life's purpose. This alignment transforms our health goals into intrinsic parts of our identity, driven by internal desires and values rather than external motivations. We'll explore this concept further in Segment 1, "The Power of Purpose in Health." In Segment 2, "Embracing Lifestyle Changes," we address the inevitable and often challenging lifestyle changes that accompany any health journey. Understanding the 'why' behind these changes is crucial. It's about more than just adhering to a new diet or workout regimen; it's about internalizing these changes as part of a bigger picture that reflects our deepest values. We'll discuss strategies for making these changes more manageable and meaningful and how to integrate them into our daily lives. Segment 3, "The Myth of the Magic Wand," confronts the alluring yet misleading notion of quick fixes in health and wellness. We emphasize the importance of personal accountability and the reality that health improvements come from consistent effort over time. This segment demystifies the idea of overnight success in health, underscoring the value of patience, persistence, and embracing the journey with all its ups and downs.

| 01 May 2023 | 27: Top 10 Reasons You Should Work with a Functional Medicine Practitioner | 00:29:20 | |
Today we are going to talk about why you should consider working with a Functional Medicine Practitioner! This is going to be a fabulous episode where we really dive into what is lacking in conventional medicine, and what you can expect when working with a functional medicine practitioner. Chronic disease is a serious issue that affects a significant portion of the US population. It’s alarming to know that 6 out of 10 adults are battling with a chronic disease, while 4 out of 10 are struggling with at least two. Unfortunately, the prevalence of chronic disease is on the rise, and it’s the leading driver of our nation’s staggering $4.1 trillion in annual healthcare costs. We believe that chronic disease requires a different approach, one that goes beyond conventional medicine and cookie-cutter treatments. Functional medicine offers a cutting-edge approach that seeks to uncover the underlying causes of your symptoms. Instead of just containing the fire, we strive to understand why the fire started in the first place. We need to dig deep and truly understand your unique story to unravel the disease and develop a personalized plan for your care.

Every day in my practice I go over this concept – how to read food labels – as it can shift our mindset and subsequently help us when we are looking to optimize our health. We are going to do a couple of side by side comparisons. We are going to talk about additives and preservatives. Then we are going to talk about better options – healthier choices for the times we want to snack.

Last week, we got into the nitty gritty of causes, triggers of anxiety. In today's episode, we are getting beginning the conversation on the management of anxiety. Today’s episode was inspired by a statement from Melanie. Melanie wrote in to the show and said “I was told I have anxiety and my doctor send in a medication for me. I am not even sure what they sent in. There was no discussion as to how to manage this new diagnosis. I am very disappointed in the healthcare system. To give context, I am a nurse. I have been a nurse for over 25 years. I felt so disregarded. There is something wrong with our healthcare system if a chart message is how I hear about this diagnosis and there is no other alternative choices”. Melanie – thank you so much for sharing your story.

| 23 Jan 2024 | 64: Mastering the Gluten-Free Lifestyle: 5 Key Considerations You Need to Know! | 00:16:59 | |
Today we delve into the complexities of adopting a gluten-free lifestyle, addressing common misconceptions and provide valuable insights for listeners worldwide. Prompted by a surge of interest and questions from so many listeners, this episode unpacks the nuanced relationship between gluten-free diets and health. We begin by debunking the myth that gluten-free automatically equates to healthy, highlighting that many gluten-free products are laden with sugar, fats, and unhealthy additives. Specific examples are dissected to reveal their true nutritional content, underscoring the importance of reading labels and understanding ingredients. Transitioning to actionable advice, the episode outlines five key considerations for those embarking on or navigating a gluten-free diet: 1. Gluten free does not equal healthy. Emphasizing that gluten-free does not inherently mean healthy, the host encourages listeners to scrutinize product labels and avoid items high in sugar, unhealthy fats, and artificial additives. 2. Focus on Whole Foods. The importance of basing one's diet on naturally gluten-free whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and nuts, is stressed, highlighting their nutritional benefits. 3. Addressing Nutritional Needs. The episode discusses the potential nutritional gaps that may arise from eliminating gluten and advises on how to ensure a balanced diet through careful food choices and possibly integrating a high-quality multivitamin. 4. Adapt Gradually. Recognizing the significant shift a gluten-free diet represents, the host advocates for a gradual transition, exploring gluten-free grains and flours and learning new cooking and baking techniques to enrich the diet. 5. Meal Planning and Preparation. The final point emphasizes the importance of planning and preparing meals in advance to maintain a balanced, gluten-free diet. Do you live in Indiana?
