Wellness DigestS4 EP5 THE HARMFUL IMPACT OF INFLAMMATORY OILS ON YOUR GUT & SKIN HEALTH - and what to use insteadYou've probably heard us mention either inflammatory, hydrogenated, or industrial seed oils on this podcast before, and it's always one of the #1 places we recommend people to start when trying to clean up their diet. That's because these oils are in SO MANY food products, and many people grew up cooking with them as well because they're cheap and accessible, or were told they're the better "heart healthy" option. Unfortunately, these oils have no nutritional benefit for our bodies and actually create a whole lot of inflammation and chaos for our organs and systems. Cutting these out of our...

This episode moreso aims to call out the fact that Adderall is super commonly prescribed even to people who aren't diagnosed with ADHD, and it's become more accessible and widely used for other purposes outside its original intent. Like any other health issue we talk about on this podcast, our body speaks to us in symptoms to let us know there's an imbalance - something deeper going on that requires attention and care. If you're...

2023-03-2227 minWellness DigestS4 EP3 HOW AND WHY TO DETOX - our take on juice cleanses, detox trends and moreDetoxing does not = deprivation. Any "cleanse" that immediately guarantees weight loss, instructs you to eat less, or really do anything extreme is likely not going to be a long term solution to the sub par health symptoms you're having. More often than not, our bodies just need a simple reset rather than a full blown intense detox, unless you're working 1:1 with a practitioner who is recommending something based on testing (i.e. parasites, infections). In this episode, we explain what detoxing even means, the organs involved in our body's natural detox processes, and an example of a healthy, holistic 5 day...

Part of our discussion included changes she saw in her health once she added animal products back in, but what we didn't dive too deep into is why or how avoiding animal products affects the body in the first place. Are we getting all the right minerals and nutrients if we exclude animal products completely? Does our body need these foods to function properly...

We believe our food system is the number one factor contributing to the rise of chronic illness for many reasons - the introduction of highly processed foods into our diets, the creation of food deserts in low income neighborhoods, inadequate production of nutrient dense foods, and industrialized chemical-dependent agriculture (to name a few). Sometimes the message in the health and wellness field is to just simply eat better - which totally misses the mark. Unfortunately, we have systems in place that prevent people from having the proper education...
