The longer I run my clinic, the more convinced I am that hidden parasitic infection may be at the root of many chronic conditions. In this talk with thyroid specialist Dr. Eric Osansky, we discuss how parasites may be triggering symptoms of Graves’ Disease and Hashimoto’s.
Could inflammation be holding you back from reclaiming your health?
Listen in to the Simply Jewel podcast as she and I discuss all the ways inflammation could be affecting you without you even knowing it!
Doesn’t “plant-based eating” really mean “following a whole foods-based diet”?
That’s the argument I made recently as a guest on “The Lisa Show” on BYUradio.
In a nutshell, all life on this planet comes from the sun. The sun shines down on plants, the plants photosynthesize and grow, people and animals eat the plants and transfer the sun’s energy into our own bodies.
When we focus on whole foods, we receive the energy from the sun through the food that we eat. On the other hand, the heavily processed foods full of petroleum-based chemicals that populate our grocery stores no longer contain the energy of life.
While many would argue that “plant-based diets” means “no meat”, I would suggest that it means simply “more plants than meat” since plant-eating animals play a role in the transfer of energy through food. In other words, a plant-based diet is the familiar Mediterranean-type diet.
This was my second appearance on “The Lisa Show”; on my first visit we discussed the benefits of meal prep.
Is chronic pain ruining your life?
I recently joined Megan Van Buren on her “Painless Pain Management” podcast to discuss a different approach to pain management by focusing on reducing inflammation.
Since most–if not all–symptoms are due to inflammation, addressing the underlying inflammation by identifying and eliminating the personal inflammatory triggers is not only a scientifically valid approach, it’s also super effective.
Megan and I had a wide-ranging conversation where I shared my theory of autoimmunity (it’s not what we’ve been told!) and how parasites can trigger chronic inflammation.
We talk about how I use the Mediator Release Test to design a customized oligoantigenic dietary therapy for the clients in my virtual clinic, and how and why that’s more effective in reducing inflammation than traditional elimination diets, guesswork, or diet fads.
