Summary
Today’s guest is naturopathic doctor Dr. Saman Faramarzi. Dr. Sam is someone who has guided me physically and spiritually through a lot of my acne journey and completed her naturopathic medical training at Bastyr University. Dr. Sam studied cutting-edge research on mindfulness at the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Harvard Medical School. She incorporates her knowledge into private practice and witnesses profound changes in patients just after a few visits. I thought this episode would be an awesome opportunity for my POW audience to have an “appointment” with a naturopath as I recognize that these tests may not be readily available or accessible to everyone - as always take what works and leave what doesn’t and I hope you learn something new along the way. On this episode, we get into the seven different tests we ran on me and my results, how health relates to trauma and mental/emotional health, stress roadblocks and clearing pathways to live optimally, principles of Chinese medicine, the importance of healthy gut and liver function as well as microbiome diversity, hormone health and thyroid issues, why food sensitivity is controversial, environmental toxins and how to properly detox, parasites, and simple tips and hacks that can make a huge difference to your health and overall happiness long term. I also address some recent feedback as well as give updates to the protein bar formulation before we get into the episode, so make sure to listen - this ep is full of valuable insights and I can’t wait for you to hear it!

| 0:00.0 | I have posted about this brand a number of times on my social media, truly because I love |
| 0:24.9 | the products I've been using them for a long time. |
| 0:28.0 | And I am obsessed with using things that are good for my body and my hormones. |
| 0:32.0 | And that's why I love branch basics. |
| 0:35.1 | It is one of the first cleaning companies I have found that I truly trust the products. |
| 0:40.5 | And I know that they are non-toxic, hypoallergenic, free of fragrance, free of hormone disruptors |
| 0:46.0 | and harmful preservatives, their baby and pet safe, clean and cost effective. |
| 0:51.8 | So I actually have these cleaning products not only in our house in LA, but also in the rental |
| 0:57.9 | house I have in Laguna because I love it that much. |
| 1:01.2 | Their premium starter kit will provide you with everything you need to replace all of your |
| 1:04.6 | toxic cleaning products in your home. |
| 1:07.1 | It's really a no-brainer. |
| 1:08.7 | When I took a look at everything I use in my house, I became so aware of the amount of toxins |
| 1:13.4 | I was breathing in and eating off of every single day. |
| 1:17.1 | And these things really do have an effect on our hormones and overall health. |
| 1:21.4 | So if you suffer from eczema, allergies, acne, really consider making the switch to branch |
| 1:26.6 | basics. |
| 1:27.6 | I love the fact that they're pet safe. |
| 1:29.9 | We have two dogs now, Lulu and our new puppy Arnold and they are sniffing all over |
| 1:34.0 | the floor, licking things off the floor. |
| 1:36.5 | I want to make sure that they are not being harmed by our cleaning products as well. |
| 1:40.5 | And if you have kids, I think this is so important. |
