213. Biohacking the Human Experience with Dave Asprey #FabulousFriends

You know Dave Asprey. He’s the father of biohacking, a bestselling author and serial entrepreneur – and he is proud to be leading the charge against Kale. Dave unmasks the popular health food as expensive, bitter, and toxic – but it’s far from the only thing to catch heat from this world class truth teller today.We hear all about his new clean coffee brand, Danger Coffee, which is produced with strict anti-mold protocols and enriched with important minerals that are both not seen in most processed, popular American foods and which are actively removed from our systems by harmful ingredients and chemicals.&nbsp;Dave rails against the systematic decline in testosterone across young men, a concerning trend that has ripples throughout every level of society. We hash out the science of soil, why mineral depletion plays such a big part in widespread sickness and disease. And we also learn of his latest high-tech biohacking projects, where he’s deploying AI to train our brains, and bodies, with less time and effort required by traditional methods.&nbsp;Mitochondria and mold are two more hot topics as Dave weaves science and levity into his vast life experience for a direct and to-the-point delivery of the facts.He’s right, we don’t need to be scared.

212. Parenting & the Power of Showing Up with Dr. Tina Bryson #WellnessWednesdays

Dr. Tina Bryson is the author of The Bottom Line For Baby and the co-author, with Dan Siegel, of The Yes Brain, The Power of Showing Up, as well as two New York Times bestsellers, the Whole Brain Child and No Drama Discipline. Her body of work has had an immense impact on my parenting journey, which is only part of the reason I’m so excited she’s sharing her time with us today.We touch on many of Dr. Bryson’s core concepts of well-adjusted parenting, most tied to the fact that our little ones are actually brilliant – that their brains create automatic associations, just like ours. Still, we need to be mindful of our explicit and implicit messaging; just because they can make associations doesn’t mean they’re right (or logical), after all.She also gives some amazing and actionable advice on a couple specific behavioral challenges we’re seeing with Bash at home, and blesses us with some other quick tools on empowering kids to be brave, name their feelings, and build resilience. .&nbsp;&nbsp;If you are a new parent or even thinking about having children, I would start reading her books and practicing on your partner. Dr. Bryson’s techniques are revolutionary and she is spearheading an important change in parenting that we are now seeing all over the internet – and she has been for a decade.

It’s so important that we find as many sources of evidence-backed data as we can – and we’re glad to bring you one of those sources today.

207. Sit With Whit: Living Through Honesty with Dr. Whitney Goodman #FabulousFriends

You open Instagram and it hits you right away, a sense of perfection or idealism that seems just a little too shiny, a little too great to be real. And guess what? Most of the time, it isn’t. Today's guest, Dr. Whitney Goodman, assures us of that much and more. She's the radically honest psychotherapist behind the popular Instagram account, @sitwithwhit, the book Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real in a World Obsessed with Being Happy, and the owner of the Collaborative Counseling Center, a private therapy practice in Miami. She helps individuals and couples heal past wounds and create the life they've always wanted.We spend this episode unpacking the false perception of perfection all around us, the world’s constant striving for “happiness,” and why finding center in your life is so much more complicated than that – and should be! Whether it’s content-friendly or not – feeling all the feelings, really embracing them and chershing them, can be as healthy for us as a diverse and nutrient-rich diet.Dr. Goodman offers up a more diverse experience, more layers to really dive into and learn about ourselves and the people we love. We get tips on listening (it’s more than just hearing!), recognizing toxic positivity and understanding why it sells, the importance of values over happiness, and prioritizing focus time – even thirty minutes a day – to help keep your mind sharp.It’s time to get honest about – well, everything! There’s no time to waste striving and stressing over goals that only move further into the distance the harder we work at them. Life is perfect as it is, we’re so glad Dr. Goodman took the time to share this message with us today.You will learn about...Pitfalls of toxic positivityHow to respond instead → Really, truly listening to someoneFinding room for validation beyond happiness&nbsp;Seeing the world in black and whiteSetting realistic goals to actually feel fulfillmentValues &gt; happinessWhitney’s personal experience and growthFeeling all the feelings and that’s okThe power of 30-minute focus blocks&nbsp;Recognizing toxic positivityHow to give feedback to someone who’s “toxically positive”Setting boundaries with friends/family in a compassionate wayHow to find a therapistThe flaw with “time heals all wounds”The “Good Enough” communityUnpacking the perfection trendSocial’s media place in all of thisThe truth about most influencers&nbsp;Resources:Website: sitwithwhit.comInstagram: @sitwithwhitTwitter: @sitwithwhitCollab Counseling: collabcounseling.comRead: Toxic Positivity by Whitney Goodman“Good Enough” Community: sitwithwhit.substack.comConnect with Kelly:kellyleveque.comInstagram: @bewellbykellyFacebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykellyBe Well By Kelly is produced by

205. Finding Hope in Immune Rejuvenation with Dr. Jeffrey Bland

The esteemed Dr. Jeffrey Bland, an internationally recognized leader in the nutritional medicine field, joins the show today. He’s a biochemist by training, co-founding the Institute for Functional Medicine in 1991 while coming to be known to many as The Father of Functional Medicine.&nbsp;Dr. Bland invites us into his deep wisdom and vast experience as we explore his path to, and away from, traditional medicine, before delving into the issues we see in modern healthcare and what the rapidly changing space might look like in the near future.&nbsp;Today’s healthcare ills, as he points out, can be tied to money’s omnipresence in the market, which has urged the prioritization of disease treatment – for profit’s sake, mostly – rather than focusing on promoting societal wellness as its table-stakes mission.We also talk about his latest project, Big Bold Health, which launched in 2018, through which he's on a mission to transform the way people think about one of nature's greatest innovations, the mighty immune system. That’s right, the gut remains front and center as Dr. Bland breaks down the differences between boosting and balancing, benefits to eating the rainbow, and much more.By advocating for the power of immuno-rejuvenation to enhance immunity at a global level, he’s really doing some important work for the world – work that generations in the future (and today!) can look back upon and be so thankful for.You will learn about...When Dr. Bland started to think for himselfCircumventing traditional medicineDiseasecare vs. healthcareMoney as the pitfall of modern medicineFocusing on what it means to be wellBig Bold HealthThe super system: nervous system and immune system&nbsp;Balancing vs. boosting your immune systemWhat are zombie cells?Exploring the link between damaged cells and inflammationThe benefits of autophagy and how to activate it in your bodyWriting your own “book of life” - your genes are not your destinyGene plasticity and epigeneticsDiet as the unlockLearning about phytonutrientsBenefits of Himalayan tartary buckwheatWhy we should be eating the rainbowLooking ahead to the future of healthcareResources:Website: jeffreybland.comThe Institute for Functional Medicine: ifm.orgBig Bold Health: bigboldhealth.com&nbsp;Instagram: @drjeffreyblandLinkedin: Jeffrey Bland PHDEnjoy 20% off Big Bold Health with code BEWELL20 [Expires 11/30/2022].

204. Toxins in Disguise: Dr. Anthony Jay on Estrogenics #WellnessWednesday

Dr. Anthony Jay is the President of the International Medical Research Collaborative, a nonprofit organization based in Boston that trains medical students from around the globe. He is also an author and renowned expert on estrogenics, substances that merely act like estrogen in our body, oftentimes tricking it into negative chain reactions in our health – even cancer.So, where are these tricky imposters in the products around us? And, how can we avoid them in the future? Dr. Anthony details the long list in his book, and is kind to share many examples in our conversation today. Specifically, he touches on fragrances, petroleum products, soy products, and mold, which is so much more common in shelf products like coffee, grains, and peanuts than you might imagine.We also talk about the role that the gut microbiome, an old familiar friend, plays in our processing of these chemicals, and draw a very real connection between the harms of estrogenics and everyday plastics like water bottles and shower liners.If you’re listening to this and looking around your life with a newfound stress, know that you’re not alone in this collective journey to a more natural, non-toxic, and simple life. Knowledge is key. Understanding complexities like those presented today is the first step toward making positive changes. And we’re here to help you get there, every step of the way.You will learn about...What are estrogenics?&nbsp;Estrogenics vs. testosteroneLink between estrogenics and an increased risk of cancer&nbsp;Common products and ingredients to avoid broken into three categories: food, plastics and personal careMajor players to know: mold, red dye, flax and soyChemical risks of plastic water bottlesSources of other plastics to avoidWhy “BPA-free” isn’t good enoughThe science of estrogen in plasticHigh estrogen leading to early puberty in girlsCommon home products to be aware ofWhat these chemicals do to your hormonesBenefits of sweating and sauna use to expel chemicals&nbsp;Resources:Linkedin: Anthony G.
