266: If you struggle with anemia, leaky gut, low red blood cells, high LDL cholesterol, brain fog, fatigue—or if you bruise easily—this episode is for you. There’s a special fat that’s been shown to support all of these issues. It’s called C15:0, and it’s the first essential fatty acid discovered in over 90 years! Stephanie joins me today for an eye-opening conversation about this unique fat—an odd-chain saturated fatty acid that’s changing the game. She breaks down the difference between odd-chain and even-chain saturated fats and clears up the common misconception that all saturated fats are bad news. (Spoiler: they’re not.) We also dive into how C15:0 could benefit pregnant mothers and developing babies, and why there's growing interest in adding it to infant formula. So, what foods actually contain C15:0? Are there any that block its absorption? And why are so many of us deficient in it to begin with? If you’re curious whether you’re lacking this essential fat, good news—there are tests for that. And within just 3 to 6 months of supplementing with Fatty15 (a C15:0 supplement), people are reporting some incredible results. We definitely get a little nerdy in this episode—and I loved every minute of it!

247: Have you ever wondered if the foods you’re eating are secretly plotting against you? Okay, maybe not secretly, but when it comes to food combining, some people believe that certain combos could cause chaos in your digestive system. We’re talking about things like steak and potatoes, dairy and seafood, or even melons with anything at all.

In today’s episode I’m diving deep into the ancient (and still popular) world of food combining. We’ll break down what’s real, what’s wacky, and what might actually help (spoiler: some of these rules actually make sense). Is the idea of eating fruit alone really the key to good digestion?

In today's episode, Matthew Gay, creator of Fit Church United, joins me as we discuss the physical health needs of the church and ways to implement what the Bible says about health into daily life. A lot of Bible references are mentioned in this episode, and I realize many listening may not share the same biblical values and principles. It's certainly not a typical Digest This interview, but it may interest you because this topic isn’t discussed enough in today’s society. Many people in the church struggle with living a healthy lifestyle, and Matthew shares ways we can be a light in our communities to help influence change in our groups and personal lives. We talk about whether eating meat is prohibited, what the Daniel Diet actually is, and how you can apply biblical principles to your own health journey. I think this was an interesting take on health and fitness—one that could provide the motivation you need to jumpstart your healthy journey. Topics Discussed: The health of our potential military men Back to basics with health What the Bible says about food How to implement a healthy lifestyle in the church Tips to help others not struggle Getting accountability in your health journey The Daniel Diet Fasting Tips to make a healthy change in your church, community, and home As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].  And if you like this show, please share it, rate it, review it and subscribe to it on your favorite podcast app.  Sponsored By: Timeline Timeline is offering10% off your order of Mitopure Go to timeline.com/DIGEST.

243: Today’s episode is a deep dive into my latest obsession: methylene blue. Oh yes, you heard me right. I’ve been using it to fight off UTIs (it works wonders!) and trust me, it’s not just any supplement. Methylene blue is a potent antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial powerhouse that’s been around since the late 1800s. It’s a brain booster, improving memory, focus, and mood. It’s even being explored as a possible treatment for malaria and other infections. And, drumroll please… it’s got serious anti-aging effects too! We’re talking mitochondria, energy, and slowing down the aging process. I’ll break it all down for you: how it works in the brain, the anti-aging potential, and of course, the side effects (gotta keep it real). If you’ve been looking for something to support your health in 2025, you’re going to want to tune in. Oh, and if you’ve been hearing me rave about my blue tongue on Instagram? That’s all part of my methylene blue journey. Trust me, it's more than just a funky color.

It’s not something to take lightly, and sadly, there’s a lot of misinformation out there about treatment and detection. That’s why I have Dr. Jenn Simmons on the show today. She exposes and explains why mammograms can actually increase your risk of getting breast cancer, why soy doesn’t contribute to breast cancer, the connection between birth control and breast cancer, whether HRT is harmful or helpful, and the types of HRT we should be getting after breast cancer treatment. We also cover alternative options for mammograms. Plus, we go into how to do a self-examination, why every woman, young and old, should be doing this monthly, and the right time to examine yourself—because that matters too! This might be one of the most important podcast episodes you’ll ever listen to. Topics Discussed: Are mammograms causing cancer? How to detect breast cancer without radiation Do underwire bras contribute to breast cancer? Do mastectomies actually prevent you from getting breast cancer? What we’re getting wrong when it comes to breast cancer detection How to examine your own breasts Things women are doing that increase our risk for breast cancer and how to minimize that risk HRT myths Soy and breast cancer myths Caring for yourself or others AFTER breast cancer treatment IVF and hormonal birth control Stress and its link to breast cancer Becoming empowered As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].  And if you like this show, please share it, rate it, review it and subscribe to it on your favorite podcast app.  Sponsored By: Manukora Head to MANUKORA.com/DIGEST to get $25 off the Starter Kit Equip Foods Code DIGEST gets you 20% off at Equipfoods.com/digest Fatty15 For 15% off the starter kit go to fatty15.com/digest Our Place Go to fromourplace.com and use code DIGEST for 10% Connect with Dr. Jenn Simmons Go to Auria.care & use code DRJENN20 Website Instagram Podcast YouTube Get her book Check Out Bethany: Bethany’s Instagram: @lilsipper YouTube Bethany’s Website Discounts & My Favorite Products My Digestive Support Protein Powder Gut Reset Book  Get my Newsletters (Friday Finds)

240: If you are thinking about quitting alcohol or perhaps you just did Dry January and are considering "what now"? - this is the episode for you! Today I have Amanda Kudo on the show and she shares her own personal story about quitting alcohol when she never really was an alcoholic to begin with, but she experienced so many health benefits including not having "crunchy muscles" (and we'll get into what she means by that), more energy, weight loss, better sleep, clearer skins, and so much, more. Amanda was only drinking socially on the weekends but she still wasn't feeling well which led her on her journey to cut out alcohol and experience physical and emotional freedom and how you can too. Even if you yourself don't drink, I'm sure you know someone that does....perhaps it's your partner, friend, child, or parent. This episode teaches you how to encourage those around you to take a break from drinking and methods and tips to go about that without being "annoying" or like you are stepping over your boundaries.  We also talk about some really interesting non-alcoholic drinks on the market including dealcoholized wine and I share my favorite go-to alcohol free store bought drink as well. So if you're sober curious, grab a drink (alcohol free of course) and tune in and walk away with empowering tips and tricks to living less inflamed, more empowered, and mentally ready to  experience a non-alcohol way of life.  Topics Discussed: What crunchy muscles means Non-alcoholic drinks on the market (and my fav!) How EVEN social drinking can be hindering your health goals Tips to stop drinking Tips to help someone you know try to quit drinking The parent, child relationship between alcohol in the home Alternatives coping methods instead of drinking Why and what YOUR reason is for not drinking As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].  And if you like this show, please share it, rate it, review it and subscribe to it on your favorite podcast app.  Sponsored By: Black Lotus Shilajit Go to https://blacklotusshilajit.com/discount/Digest 15% will be automatically applied at checkout!

Have you heard of the gut circadian rhythm? We often talk about our overall circadian rhythm, and most of us automatically think about sleep—waking up in the morning and going to bed at night. But did you know your gut has its own circadian rhythm? It affects digestion and may be the key to addressing issues like constipation or weight gain. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Vincent Pedre, where we dive deep into how to align our metabolism with our circadian rhythm to improve sleep, support regular bowel movements, aid weight loss, and keep hunger cravings in check. We also explore the impact of microplastics—some of their surprising sources—and discuss how stress can contribute to constipation. We touch on how childhood antibiotics may be linked to IBS today, and offer practical ways to reduce the toxic load in our diets and daily lives. Don’t worry, this isn't an episode filled with doom and gloom! We’re here to provide actionable tips and resources to help you improve your health without breaking the bank. My goal is never to fearmonger, but to inform—because when we know better, we can do better. With the right knowledge and tools, we can all lead healthier, happier lives. Topics Discussed: You don’t have to have obvious gut symptoms to have a gut issue Non-gut issues that may actually be gut-related Common causes of constipation Natural ways to relieve constipation Why the timing of your meals matters How timed eating supports constipation relief, weight loss, and IBS The dangers of over-sanitization Microplastics: Beyond just plastic items How stress affects digestion, causing constipation and diarrhea The link between childhood antibiotics and IBS today Simple swaps and changes to reduce our toxic load in daily routines Sponsored By:  Manukora Head to MANUKORA.com/DIGEST to get $25 off the Starter Kit SuppCo100%  FREE access by going to supp.co/DIGEST.  LMNT  Get your FREE sample pack with any LMNT purchase at drinklmnt.com/DIGEST Seed Go to seed.com/digest and use code 25digest for 25% off Connect with Dr. Pedre Instagram Website Check Out Bethany: Bethany’s Instagram: @lilsipper YouTube Bethany’s Website Discounts & My Favorite Products My Digestive Support Protein Powder Gut Reset Book  Get my Newsletters (Friday Finds) As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].  And if you like this show, please share it, rate it, review it and subscribe to it on your favorite podcast app.

This episode is different from most as Dr. Austin Lake and I discuss how the feminist movement perhaps does more harm than good to women's health and WHY women are more prone to autoimmune diseases. We get into the nitty gritty of how our society has driven women into becoming the perfect storm in accumulating more stress and responsibilities than men and the domino effect that plays in our overall health as families. Dr. Austin and I also dive into our own faith and how that has been super important in our own lives and the question of "Why does God not heal us even if we have been praying for healing for years?" - the answer to this may not be definite, but it sure brings hope to those looking for healing and relief especially if you are a believer....but even if you're not, our conversation went beyond our faith as we also dove into if coffee was a friend or foe (especially for women), if fasting is healthy, how we can avoid toxins recirculating in our body, ideas to help you save money all while saving your health.  We went in all directions in our conversations and you will get a bite of everything in this episode, so I hope you listen all the way through because I have no doubt every person that does will get something out of it they can take away and apply to their own lives.  Topics Discussed: Why women have more health issues than men Saving money while prioritizing your health Why God doesn't heal us even when we have prayed for healing The importance of slowing down How society has made our health worse How coffee can be our friend Fasting (good or bad?)

223: In this episode, we not only discuss why you're experiencing unexplained, mysterious symptoms that no doctor can pinpoint, but I also share my own health struggles that I've been dealing with since 2020—struggles I haven't shared much about on Instagram or other social platforms. There seems to be a HUGE link between people who had COVID, like I did back in 2020, and current health issues that either haven’t gone away or only seem to flare up intermittently. If you've been dealing with symptoms like exercise intolerance, a racing heartbeat, anxiety that comes out of nowhere (even when you know you're not fearful or anxious about anything), insomnia, waking up to pee 3-5 times during the night, or symptoms of a UTI but the tests always come back negative, then keep listening. These side effects and reactions are just a few of the many random, mysterious issues that could be linked to histamine intolerance, which is also tied to COVID. I speak with Michelle Shapiro, who explains in more detail what histamine intolerance is, which foods and wellness routines trigger it (such as exercise, vitamin C IVs, drinking bone broth, and other popular “wellness regimens” many of us do) that could actually be hindering your health and causing these so-called “flare-ups.” We discuss why these symptoms may come and go in flares, and why some days or months we feel fine, but then suddenly experience a loss of energy, skin rashes, and chronic gut issues that last for weeks. Speaking of gut issues—if you feel like your digestion has never been the same since you had COVID, there could be a connection. Michelle breaks it all down and explains how we can take steps to get our lives back. There’s good news, though! Please save this episode to reference later, share it with a friend or family member, and post it on social media so others can benefit from listening. Topics and Issues Covered: - Long COVID (people are STILL suffering!) - Symptoms of histamine intolerance, such as:   - Increased heart rate   - Frequent urination   - UTI-like symptoms without a UTI   - Gastrointestinal issues   - Insomnia   - Joint pain   - Anxiety (even though you’re not anxious)   - Unexplained symptoms - Mysterious symptoms that no doctor can pinpoint - POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) - How wellness routines may actually be causing a “flare” - Foods to avoid if you have MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) - Supplements that may irritate MCAS - Supplements that help with MCAS (histamine intolerance) - How to get tested for histamine intolerance / types of tests - What causes histamine intolerance - The connection between long COVID, mold, and histamine intolerance - How to heal and get your life back! As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].  And if you like this show, please share it, rate it, review it and subscribe to it on your favorite podcast app.  Sponsored By:  Manukora Head to MANUKORA.com/DIGEST to get $25 off the Starter Kit Fatty15 For 15% off the starter kit go to fatty15.com/digest Pique Tea piquelife.com/digest for up to 15% OFF and freebies Nuzest Go to nuzest-usa.com/bethanyspantry Check Out Bethany: Bethany’s Instagram: @lilsipper YouTube Bethany’s Website My Digestive Support Protein Powder Gut Reset Book  Get my Newsletters (Friday Finds)
