I'm excited and honored to introduce my friend and fellow entrepreneur, Katina Mountanos, founder and CEO of Kosterina, a wellness brand that embraces the Mediterranean lifestyle through its high antioxidant, extra virgin olive oil, and more. Katina's vision with Kosterina is not only to offer delicious products but also to prove that healthy options can indeed be delectable.

Katina was inspired by the authentic taste of real olive oil from her family's home in southern Greece. Launched in 2020, Kosterina aims to enrich lives by sharing the benefits of the Mediterranean lifestyle. The brand offers a full line of vinegars, olives, olive oils, and an olive oil-based skincare line, with more innovative products on the way.

In this episode, Katina and I dive into the science-backed nutrition of olive oil, discuss her entrepreneurial journey, and explore how she ensures the delivery of high-quality, antioxidant-rich olive oil to consumers at an affordable price. We also touch on the new research on polyphenols and smoke points, how to choose high quality olive oils at the grocery store, and how we use olive oil and vinegar at home to elevate our family meals.

JJ Virgin is a triple board-certified nutrition expert and four-time New York Times bestselling author. She’s on a mission to change the narrative from aging gracefully to aging powerfully.

As moms, we want to do everything we can to help our kids prevent sickness and feel better faster, which is why I'm thrilled to welcome a very special guest today, Dr. Elana Roumell, a renowned pediatric naturopathic doctor, mother of three, and the brains behind the innovative Med School for Moms.

Dr. Roumell not only co-hosts the popular Doctor Mom Podcast, but she's also the founder of Nourish Medical Center in San Diego, California. Her Doctor Mom Membership program helps moms feel calm, competent, and confident when their kid gets sick, and ultimately helps parents feel empowered with their family's healthcare decisions.

In today's episode, we delve deep into the world of children's health, exploring holistic and homeopathic remedies. Dr. Roumell shares her expert knowledge on treating common childhood conditions, like ear infections, with natural methods by helping parents understand their causes.

We discuss the different types of natural medicine, their roles, and easy home hacks – particularly in managing fevers and colds without traditional medication.

A topic that has been a source of anxiety for me and many moms, especially in states with mandates, is vaccines. Dr. Roumell provides incredibly helpful insights into vaccine education, including delayed schedules and strategies to prevent adverse reactions.

She also emphasizes the importance of informed dietary choices during illness, particularly avoiding sugar and dairy, and even shares her top recommendations for pediatric supplements to enhance immune response and gut health.

I'm incredibly grateful to Dr. Roumell for sharing her expertise and for her unwavering advocacy in the realm of pediatric healthcare. Her dedication to empowering parents is truly inspiring. If you're eager to learn more and feel empowered in your role as a parent, I highly encourage you to explore Dr. Roumell's course.

I’m excited for you to listen to today’s episode with Ali Miller, a registered dietitian and author of the international bestseller The Anti-Anxiety Diet and The Anti-Anxiety Diet Cookbook. Ali’s “food is medicine” philosophy is supported by the latest research for a functional, integrative approach to healing the body.

We talk about how stress can mess with the body – from your hormones, to your mood, to your reproductive health. Ali shares tangible tools to help our bodies process cortisol and transmute stress. We also talk about the HPA Axis, and why it’s so crucial to regulating the body.

We explore foods to decrease inflammation, restoring micronutrient deficiencies, and rebalancing neurotransmitters. Plus, Ali shares her personal practices for living a balanced life. We close with a discussion on how to educate and empower our kids to embrace food as medicine.

This episode is filled with so many gold nuggets that I’m going to implement in my own life. I love how Ali encourages everyone to ditch diet doctrines and embrace an individualized approach. And that mission serves as the foundation of our chat today – so get ready to be motivated through emotional connection as opposed to shame and guilt.

Meet the new face of age-reversal skincare. I’m thrilled to welcome Carolina Oliveira, the CEO and co-founder of OneSkin. Carolina and her team are disrupting the outdated anti-aging skincare industry with their groundbreaking research on our largest organ and its longevity.

I’ve seen the results firsthand. You know that I’m a skeptic when it comes to commercial skincare products. But after digging into OneSkin’s research, I started using their products about a year ago. I’ve been so impressed – my skin looks more youthful, softer, and has a new glow!

On today’s episode, we get into the science behind their topical skin products. We talk about what causes aging and if it’s reversible. Carolina explains what peptides are and how they work, sharing her revolutionary research into the OS-O1 peptide. This peptide has been shown to improve barrier function, increase collagen biosynthesis, and reduce “zombie cells” which are a central cause of aging.

Plus, Carolina answers questions about retinol, exfoliation, and how to simplify your skincare routine. Don’t miss this insightful and educational look into the latest research on skin health.

Today’s topic is something every parent can learn from – how to raise our kids to value themselves for who they are, not what they accomplish. I’m thrilled to welcome Jennifer Wallace, an award-winning journalist and social commentator who covers parenting and lifestyle trends.

Jennifer is a contributor to The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post. She is the author of Never Enough: When Achievement Pressure Becomes Toxic — And What We Can Do About It. This is the definitive book on toxic achievement culture and the impact it has on parents and kids.

Jennifer tells us all about the groundbreaking findings she uncovered in her book, explaining the societal and economic factors that contributed to the rise of achievement culture. We talk about the prevalence of anxiety and depression in children who go to high-achieving schools. And most importantly, we explore how to combat this phenomenon and support our kids.

Jennifer shares fantastic advice on how to teach your kids about their unconditional worth, help them process envy and comparison, and foster a healthy sense of self. We chat a lot about mattering, and why it, well, matters so much, highlighting the importance of healthy interdependence.

School might be in session for them, but it is for you (and me!) too. Jennifer recommends getting a PhD in our kids; I will definitely be implementing her advice in my home. The LeVeque family meetings start now! I’m so excited to share Jennifer’s research and perspective, so you can learn from her too.
