This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, ButcherBox, and HigherDOSE. Not only is protein a vital component of healthy skeletal muscle, but it also is an essential lever in weight loss, stabilizing blood sugar, and reversing metabolic syndrome. And when it comes to animal-based protein, we can’t just say all meat is good or no meat is good; it’s a matter of what types and sources of proteins you’re eating and what the rest of your diet looks like too. In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Gab...

This episode is brought to you by Paleovalley, AG1, and Bioptimizers. Difficult times and experiences happen to all of us. They can often leave us not feeling good enough, not feeling worthy of love, not being able to trust others, and more. And it can be easy to put self-care on the back burner, even when we know we need to face our struggles. Yet, when we make the time to be radically honest with ourselves, sit with our discomforts, and take action to change our state, we open up the door to h...

This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and AG1. About 30 years ago, when I became seriously ill with chronic fatigue syndrome, I felt like I simultaneously had dementia, depression, and ADD. My brain felt broken! That’s when I discovered Functional Medicine. One huge benefit I experienced when I reversed my chronic fatigue syndrome was how well my brain improved. Over the years, I fine-tuned my approach for a sharper, faster, and better brain. In today’s episode of my series I’m calling He...

Three of those areas are what we eat, our quality of sleep, and our energy production. We eat pounds of food every single day that act as information for our cells and influence our DNA expression. When we sleep, our brain’s immune system (the glymphatic system) clears away damaged cells. And increasing our energy will ...
