Fellow podcaster Vanessa Spina has experimented a lot with her diet and macronutrient ratios over the years. She started out as a vegetarian but felt lethargic and, at 38% body fat, knew it wasn’t working for her. From there she incorporated intermittent fasting, then implemented a ketogenic diet (and became well known as @ketogenicgirl), then found a sweet spot with a high-protein ketogenic diet. Somewhat recently, she experimented with a higher carb approach based on the recommendations of some of the experts she has interviewed, but found that higher fat works better for her as an energy source than higher carb. In this week’s episode, Vanessa shares the strategy and reasoning behind her experimentation and reminds us that it is ok and encouraged to experiment with your diet to find what works best for you, despite what the research or experts say. She also shares a lot of valuable insight she has learned from interviewing some of the top experts in the world. She is a wealth of knowledge - come listen!

Most women don’t realize how many body systems are affected by a loss of hormones as we move into the perimenopause and menopause years. Symptoms and signs include:

• Higher cholesterol

• Loss of bone density

• Joint pain and frozen shoulder

• Brain fog

• Poor sleep

• Anxiety 

• Weight gain

• Hypothyroidism 

• Loss of skin elasticity

• Low libido

• UTIs

• Hearing loss

Women are often offered a myriad of medications and supplements like statins and calcium as ways to address these various issues but are not actually addressing the root cause: hormonal decline. Although hormone replacement therapy has long been touted as dangerous, this week’s guests are here to bust that myth and share just how incredibly important HRT can be for women’s health and longevity. Their book, The Great Menopause Myth, dives deep into this topic and they are on the podcast this week sharing key points women need to know about how to be successful with hormones.

One of the questions I get often is: what do you think about eating freshly milled wheat flour if you have an autoimmune condition? Most functional health practitioners recommend removing gluten as part of an autoimmune dietary plan (that’s what I’ve always advised as well). But unless someone has Celiac, is it necessary? 

I’ve been conflicted on how to advise people who have an autoimmune condition because is freshly milled flour the thing that’s going to make it worse or make it better? In Michal Grappe’s case, it made it better. In fact, it was the thing that completely erased lupus from her bloodwork. She used a long-term restrictive diet to successfully manage herGuillain-Barré syndrome, but it wasn’t helping to prevent or manage lupus. When she saw a video explaining the benefits of milling wheat, she didn’t feel like she had anything to lose by giving it a try. Nine months later, the lupus was no longer showing on her bloodwork, her husband’s arthritis had improved, her son’s warts went away and her daughter no longer had a scalp condition.
Come listen to all of the details in this week’s episode, including how much the Lord guided her along the way.

When Jennifer Tucker’s daughter was diagnosed with an anxiety and panic disorder, she found herself facing her own struggle with anxiety. In a desperate moment in the hospital, Jenn found deep solace in breath prayer, a centuries-old practice that combines deep breathing and Scripture. This, along with another ancient approach called Lectio Divina, became tools that she used to navigate and care for her physical, mental and spiritual health. Even though she never dreamed of being an author, the Lord opened a door that led to publishing her books Breath As Prayer and Present In Prayer. In this week’s episode, Jenn shares the details of these ancient practices and how we can use them in our daily lives.

The peptide world seemed to explode onto the scene with the popularity of GLP-1s (like Ozempic) for weight loss. Although my initial reaction was skeptical (great, another weight loss “magic bullet” that’s going to fail people in the end), I’ve learned that GLP-1s and other peptides have been used therapeutically for decades. Although there can be abuse of application and poor guidance around peptide use, there’s no denying how helpful they can be when used appropriately.

In this week’s episode, peptide expert Dr. Stephanie Rimka is explaining the benefits of GLP-1s and peptide therapy. Come listen for important insight on who’s a good candidate for peptides and the best way to utilize them!
