    Episode 391: Microplastics

    Episode 391: Microplastics

    What are microplastics and where are they found? How dangerous are they to human health? How can we reduce exposure and impact? Tune in to hear us discuss how we eat, drink and breathe microplastics, how they can affect human health, and what we can do to offset the effects! 
     
    Microplastics are literally everywhere and we are only seeing more being produced daily. Beyond avoiding exposure, a high phytocompound diet is the best way to protect the body from the impact on an immunological, endocrine, inflammatory, and oxidative stress response while protecting cells and even DNA. Learn about specific foods and supplements that can support detox of microplastics and ways to reduce your exposure in your own household.

    Episode 390: 5 Ways to Beat the Bloat

    Episode 390: 5 Ways to Beat the Bloat

    Bloating is so common that it is often accepted as the norm, but we’re here to tell you it is NOT normal to feel bloated, distended, and uncomfortably full all the time. Bloating can indicate a deeper root cause of microbiome imbalance, food sensitivities, digestive enzyme inadequacy and more. In this episode, we unpack some of the drivers of bloat as well as tried and true solutions, plus we’ll talk through a typical day of eating on a gut cleanse. 
     
    In this episode, we discuss 5 ways to beat the bloat, including of course our Beat the Bloat Gut Cleanse. You still have time to join us if you’re listening live (and if not, there’s always the archive option!). Learn about the function of digestive enzymes and whether replacing them will cause your body to produce less on its own, how probiotics in and of themselves can reduce bloating, and how to discern whether food sensitivities might be causing your bloat.

    Episode 389: Are Parasites Wreaking Havoc on Your Gut Health?

    Episode 389: Are Parasites Wreaking Havoc on Your Gut Health?

    Do you have a parasite? Are all parasites bad and does everyone need to do a parasite cleanse? In this episode we talk all about parasites! We cover what they are, symptoms of infection, how to treat them…and quite frankly how many people in the wellness space are going overboard with the topic! 
     
    In this episode, we cover how common parasitic infections are, types of parasites, and symptoms of infection. We discuss testing for parasites, how some can actually benefit the human body, and our favorite research backed natural compounds to treat a parasitic infection. Plus we discuss our thoughts on coffee enemas, colonics, and how many cleanses are too harsh or go on for too long and can wreak havoc on the microbiome!

    Episode 388 Almond Deep Dive!

    Are you using almond butter, almond milk, or almond flour as a household staple? We don’t want to burst your bubble, but in this episode we discuss concerns with glyphosate and almonds as over 85% of almonds are treated with this chemical. Go down the rabbit hole with us as we discuss glyphosate, oxalates, the environmental impact of almonds, and so much more. 
     
    In today’s episode we will cover our honest take on almonds and how we plan to make shifts in our households as well as covering concepts of oxalates and anti-nutrients, if blanching matters and some potentially better alternatives.

Grateful

I’m fairly new to your podcast and so far enjoying it. Your review on Glyphosate and Almonds was fabulous, I just go crazy over the fact that Almonds are a superfood. The crop has pretty much drained the water in the CA Central Valley. One thing you mentioned is Kale in your smoothie, please get kale out of your diet, it’s full of forever chemicals. Please investigate.

Amazing Educational Content

This podcast is full of the most valuable information. Ali puts so much work and time into putting together so much good information. She breaks everything down for just about all things health. I’ve made so many changes in my life because of her content and am forever grateful.

One of the best!

I am a huge fan of the Naturally Nourished podcast and of all the work that Ali & Becki do. They are very informative and I love how they geek out on the science of health but also present things in an understandable, relatable and actionable way. Highly recommend!
