Summary

In this episode, I’m speaking with Victoria LaFont, co-host of the Influenced to Death podcast, owner of The LaFont Agency, and someone I’ve been working with for a few years now and consider a friend and trusted peer.

It might seem strange that I’m recording a two-part podcast about another podcast, but the reason is very clear in my mind: There are many highly controversial topics in health science, and many experts cherry-pick and distort the evidence.

Influenced to Death is a podcast specifically about taking on these controversial topics and trying to systematically bring greater clarity to them, in a balanced, evidence-based way. Plus, it does so in a way that’s entertaining and actually fun to listen to.

I know you’ll enjoy my conversation with Victoria, and I highly encourage you to listen to Influenced to Death, as well, to get a new perspective on some of the most controversial topics in natural health and functional medicine.

0:12.5	Victoria LaFont, who is somebody I work with personally. And for the purposes of this podcast,
0:20.7	what you need to know about her is she is the co-host of the podcast Influenced to Death.

0:39.9	decided to just make it into two episodes because we had so much to talk about. So a little bit
0:44.3	about Victoria. She is, as I said, the co-host of the podcast Influence to Death, which is, in
0:51.7	her words, your guide to navigating the wild world of wellness influencing.
0:58.0	She's also the owner of the LaFont agency, whose mission is to improve integrated medicine with
1:03.5	marketing, and she serves on the teaching staff of the University of Western States' Human
1:08.8	Nutrition and Functional Medicine Program.
1:11.4	So as I said, I know Victoria very well.
1:14.3	I've worked with her very closely for, I believe,
1:16.8	maybe a couple years now.
1:18.7	And we've had, we've become friends,
1:20.9	we've had lots of conversations personally
1:24.8	about this world of, as she calls it,
1:27.4	the wild world of wellness influencing, more broadly,
1:32.0	apart from our work together and related to our work together, of course, because, you know,
1:37.3	I hate this term influencer. I guess you could conceptualize me as a health influencer.
1:45.0	I prefer the term teacher personally, but anyway, the point is that she is full of very insightful ideas and perspectives on this whole topic. I think as you'll hear from her personal
2:04.5	story and why she ended up starting this podcast, you know, there's a background to the
