259: If you’ve ever gotten a surprise medical bill, you need to stop everything and listen to my interview with Andy Schoonover. He founded CrowdHealth, a company that’s taking a crowdfunding approach to healthcare - that means you pay into a community instead of giving your money to a big corporation, and that fund helps cover your medical costs upfront (so no expensive bills down the line). And it ends up being way cheaper than health insurance. If you’ve ever been frustrated with your insurance, you’re going to want to hear this.  Topics Discussed: → What a crowdfunding approach to health insurance looks like   → Difference between CrowdHealth and insurance   → How the healthcare system got so broken   → Why doctors hate dealing with insurance  → Incentivizing healthy lifestyles  Sponsored By: → FPOO | Get your free $39 bottle for just $1 shipping and taste the difference freshness makes at http://www.GetFresh324.com. → Seed | Ready to experience a probiotic that actually works?

256: Is your makeup killing you? On this episode of Realfoodology, I’m joined by Attorney Whitney Ray Di Bona (or the LowToxLawyer on Instagram) who has represented women who developed terminal cancer due to asbestos in their cosmetics. We talk about why even the ‘clean products’ can’t always be trusted, and the regulations that could prevent this from happening in the future. Trust me, I know this sounds overwhelming. But I hope you can take away one or two tips from Whitney to start cutting back on the most toxic products so you don’t end up in one of these lawsuits.

255: On today’s episode of the Realfoodology Podcast, I sit down with returning guest Dr. Joel Warsh - aka Dr. Joel Gator on Instagram - to talk about his new book Between A Shot and A Hard Place. I’ve been doing more episodes on vaccines lately, and before you tune out, I just want to say: this is not an anti-vax conversation. It’s about asking questions. Dr. Joel is a pediatrician who started digging into the research for his book and was shocked by how little we actually know. We talked about the lack of liability in vaccine development, the censorship around this topic, and how we can create space for real, open dialogue. I hope you’ll listen with an open mind.

253: In this special episode recorded live from the White House, I sit down with some of the most influential voices shaping the future of health in America to discuss the newly released Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Report. Guests include Dr. Oz, Kyle Diamantas, Vani Hari, Anthony Geisler, Brigham Buhler, and Max Lugavere. We dive into key topics like food policy, GRAS regulations, Medicaid and SNAP reform, PBMs, Alzheimer’s research, and the push for preventative care, movement, and accountability in federal health initiatives. This is a behind-the-scenes look at how the MAHA coalition is working to make real change—and what it means for your health. Topics Discussed:  What is the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Report, and how does it aim to transform public health policy? How is the FDA planning to update GRAS regulations and food safety standards under the MAHA initiative? What changes are being proposed for Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP benefits to support preventative health care? Why are PBMs (pharmacy benefit managers) under scrutiny, and how is the MAHA movement addressing prescription drug pricing? What are the latest findings on Alzheimer’s disease research, and how is fraudulent science being addressed in national policy?

252: In this episode, I sit down with my own doctor, Dr. Kelly McCann, to go over some of my recent test results and the detox protocols I’m doing to prep my body for pregnancy. We talk about glyphosate, mold, and other environmental toxins—and most importantly, what you can actually do about them. Dr. McCann is a total expert in helping people uncover mystery illnesses, like MCAS and hidden infections, especially when conventional doctors come up short. If you’ve been feeling off and haven’t found answers yet, I hope this episode gives you some clarity, hope, and actionable steps to feel better. Topics Discussed:  What are the symptoms of glyphosate exposure and how can you detox from it? How do environmental toxins like mold and “forever chemicals” impact fertility and overall health? What is MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) and how is it diagnosed and treated? What kind of functional medicine testing can uncover hidden infections or chronic illness? How can you reduce your toxic load at home and support your body’s natural detox pathways?

247: Did you know public schools serve more meals than any restaurant chain in America? And yet, many of those meals come from fast food giants instead of farms. This week, I’m joined by the CEO of Real Certified—a company on a mission to change that.

244: This week, I’m joined by Lindsey Meehleis, a certified midwife, doula, lactation consultant, EMT, CPR instructor, and neonatal resuscitation provider. Lindsey brings a truly holistic approach to birth, and our conversation dives deep into the importance of honoring the natural physiology of labor. As someone on my own fertility journey, I asked all the questions I’ve been curious about — from how to find a midwife to what real support during birth looks like. We explore the over-medicalization of birth in the Western world, how to prepare for a more empowered and informed birthing experience, and why individualized care matters so much. Lindsey’s wisdom and passion for supporting women through this rite of passage is incredibly inspiring — I left this conversation wanting her by my side when I give birth someday. Topics Discussed: What is the difference between a midwife and a doula? How can I prepare for a natural birth in a medicalized world? Are epidurals and Pitocin necessary for every labor? What are the risks of relying on baby formula over breastfeeding? How to find a trustworthy midwife or doula?

243: In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jennifer Simmons, a former top breast cancer surgeon turned functional medicine expert. We discuss her journey from conventional medicine to a root-cause-focused approach, and what inspired her to launch Real Health MD and perfeQTion Imaging. I had the incredible opportunity to visit her imaging center in Philadelphia for a breast scan, and it was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced—non-invasive, painless, and completely radiation-free. We talk all about this alternative to traditional mammograms and the many ways women can take proactive steps toward better breast health without fear or discomfort. Topics Discussed: What is perfeQTion Imaging and how does it compare to traditional mammograms? Are there non-invasive and radiation-free options for breast cancer screening? How does functional medicine approach breast cancer prevention and treatment? What are the side effects of traditional breast cancer treatments and are there alternatives? How can lifestyle and diet influence your risk for breast cancer?

In today’s solo episode, I’m exploring some hot-button topics surrounding RFK Jr. and the Obama administration, especially in relation to food policy. I’ll unpack the criticism currently surrounding RFK Jr. and share why I’ve been a long-time fan of his environmental and health activism. Then, we’ll examine the Obama administration’s handling of GMOs, school lunch programs, and processed foods. While many praise the Obamas for their efforts to improve public health, I’ll reveal the lesser-known policies that may have hindered true progress, especially when it comes to our food system.

EP. 223 Renowned fitness expert Jillian Michaels joins me, Courtney Swan, for a candid exploration of the often turbulent relationship between politics and health. Jillian opens up about her lifelong journey as a Democrat in California, sharing her personal experiences and insights into the unsettling political shifts she has observed. As we exchange stories, I recount my own evolution from a Republican upbringing in Texas to embracing progressive causes, only to feel a sense of disillusionment with recent political developments. Together, we navigate our political dissonance, emphasizing respect, empathy, and the quest for clarity amidst a polarized world. The episode also delves into the pressing concerns about corporate influence and media manipulation. We confront contentious topics such as the use of drugs like Ozempic for weight loss, the obesity narrative, and the urgent need for regenerative farming. Through personal reflection and insightful discussion, we underscore the importance of remaining informed and open-minded, encouraging listeners to engage critically with the narratives that shape our lives.
