318: Today's taboo topic involves wiping our butts. I'm just gonna say it to get it out of the way - but it's something we all do and for many, we do it at least once a day. And if you're female, we are wiping more than just our rear ends! That's why I invited Lee Reitelman to join me in today's episode. I recently switched over to a non-toxic toilet paper and fell in love with it so I had to personally invite the CEO and founder to talk about the negative effects conventional toilet paper has on the human body. You may be listening and asking, "what's wrong with toilet paper?" - but what many fail to realize is that several on the market contain formaldehyde, bleach, PEG 40, and forever chemicals. These ingredients in toilet paper are touching our most sensitive areas regularly on the daily, causing health issues we may not realize until years later. In this interview, we talk about bidets and some personal experiences we've had with them and why they may not be for everyone, the environmental aspect of tree based toilet paper, and how toilet paper is actually made and all the steps it takes to make a roll. After this episode you'll think twice about your TP!  Topics Discussed: → Formaldehyde in toilet paper → How conventional toilet paper is made → What is considered “conventional” TP? → Ingredients in conventional toilet paper → Regulations around listing ingredients in TP → Bidets - They’re NOT for everyone!  → Bamboo TP v Tree TP → The environmental aspect of conventional TP → Misconceptions around non-toxic TP As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].

294: If you struggle with candida, are low in iron or have been diagnosed with anemia, or perhaps you're pregnant and have been told to take iron supplements, I urge you to listen to this episode before taking additional steps. Morley Robbins is back after 2 years of initially being on my podcast back in 2023 and we dive into the confusing topic of why so many are anemic despite getting iron infusions, taking iron supplements, and even eating red meat and liver without any improvements. This episode may be the answer you're looking for when it comes to iron deficiency. In fact, you probably have an overload of iron but are missing other elements in your diet that facilitate iron absorption and iron in the blood vs. iron in the tissue. Just like certain vitamins are fat soluble which means you need fat to be able to absorb those vitamins, iron needs other co-factors to be able to be utilized properly.  Oh, and I know I mentioned candida! And if you have candida, most likely you are anemic and if you're anemic, you probably have candida! This is not a doom and gloom episode, but quite an inspiring one because this gives hope and insight to those looking for answers.  Topics Discussed: → Why iron isn’t the cause of anemia → The difference between iron in the blood vs iron in the body tissue → Iron recycling  → The role our spleen has on the body and iron → How to support the spleen naturally → What causes our spleen to not function properly  → Mind body connection → Heme iron vs non-heme (synthetic) iron → Why fortified products are not good for you → Why iron infusions could do more harm than good → The role copper plays in iron absorption → Why donating blood is beneficial for our bodies → Why getting iron tests while pregnant is inaccurate → Why we need retinol and beta-carotene → The candida and iron connection   As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].

292: Having mold automatically means you have parasites too? This was something new I learned in today’s episode with Jessica Rauscher, a holistic practitioner who healed from mold toxicity herself and now helps others do the same. Her experience with both parasites and mold has led her to support countless clients through a natural approach and education on what to look for if you suspect mold exposure, how to address it physically, and the mental and emotional aspects that often get overlooked. Sometimes, having any diagnosis is harder on our mental state than our physical one, so we talk about both…plus the symptoms of mold, how to get tested (both yourself and your environment), whether a vegan or carnivore diet is best when dealing with mold and parasites, and how to address your employer if you think your workplace might be the source. Jessica also offers free first consultations from anywhere in the U.S., so stay tuned until the end of the episode where she shares her personal email so you can contact her directly. Topics Discussed: → Symptoms of mold → How to spot mold → How to test for mold in your body and home → How to confront your employer if you suspect mold at work → The emotional toll of mold exposure → Why mold and parasites are connected → Supplements that support detox → Food and diet protocols for detoxing → The best binders for mold and parasites → What biofilms are and why they matter → The top food to break up biofilms → Where to find help if you think you have mold and parasites As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].

290: In this episode, I sit down with herbalist and healer Mourab Maraby to discuss the powerful connection between what we eat, how we digest, and how our bodies naturally heal. Mourab shares some seriously cool tools from Chinese medicine (like a ginger powder test that might predict hair regrowth!) and breaks down why getting to the root cause, rather than just masking symptoms, is key for long-term health. We also get into fruit-based detoxing, lymphatic drainage, and natural ways to support your body if you’re dealing with things like headaches, UTI’s, or digestive struggles.

286: We are talking about abortion, but not only about whether it's right or wrong, but about both the mental and physical health effects abortion has on the mother. These effects aren't just temporary, but lifelong, and may not even appear until decades after the woman has the abortion. I have Seth Gruber on the show, who is THE top pro-life activist in my opinion, and founder of The White Rose Resistance, author of the book and movie The 1964 Project, as well as a husband and father. Whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, this episode exposes hidden facts about how abortion affects a woman's health FOREVER. We are talking about breast cancer, sepsis, mental issues, and so much more that most, if not all, women are not aware of nor informed about prior to getting an abortion. Topics Discussed: → Protecting women's health! → Breast cancer linked to abortion → Mental health → Is the abortion pill more dangerous than giving birth? → Financial ties in planned parenthood  → Increased risk for miscarriages later in life → Is having an abortion to save a mother required?  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 | They’re offering my audience a 20% discount on all first-time purchases!

282: If you suffer from asthma, allergies, chronic coughs, or are sensitive to smoke and pollution... heck, even if you have gut issues, this episode will blow your mind! I bet you didn’t know that our gut health affects our lung health and vice versa! But think about it—if our gut impacts our brain, our skin, and even our mouth, why wouldn’t it also affect our lungs? In fact, our lungs require certain probiotics that our gut does not, and that’s exactly what we’re diving into today: how to support our lungs by supporting our gut with specific probiotics and GLP-1-supporting products. Not GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic! These are natural products that support the GLP-1 our bodies already produce, without side effects. I’m joined by Kara from ResBiotic to help shed light on the connection between lung health, gut health, and weight management. Topics Discussed: → The gut-lung axis → Our lung microbiome → How SCFAs (short-chain fatty acids) aid in lung health → Where SCFAs come from → Probiotics for our lungs → Signs and symptoms of compromised lungs → Foods that support lung health → GLP-1 support → Why gut health influences weight loss or gain → How to lose weight by changing our gut microbiome 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: → resbiotic | https://resbiotic.com/ and use code DIGESTTHIS for 20% off 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)
