    199 - Protecting Kids' Plates: Battle for Better School Food w/ Congressman Mike Kennedy

    In today’s episode, Congressman Mike and I dive into the details of the Healthy Lunch Kids Act, discussing its importance in providing healthier school lunches free from harmful artificial ingredients. 


    The Importance of Healthy School Lunches: Congressman Kennedy shares his passion for improving school lunches, emphasizing that the food our children eat directly impacts their focus, learning, and overall health. He highlights how many kids are consuming excessive amounts of sugar and artificial ingredients, which can lead to behavioral issues and hinder their academic performance. 


    The Legislative Process: We discuss how a bill gets passed in Congress. Congressman Kennedy explains the steps involved, from sponsorship to committee reviews and ultimately to the President’s desk. It’s a lengthy and often challenging process, but understanding it empowers us as citizens to engage and advocate for the changes we want to see. 


    Overcoming Opposition: One of the most surprising aspects of our conversation was the pushback that healthy food initiatives face, even when they seem like common sense. Congressman Kennedy discusses the financial interests that often oppose such bills. It’s a reminder that while we may think everyone wants healthier options for our kids, there are significant hurdles to overcome.

    197 - Beating Cancer Differently: Andy’s Journey with Theranostics w/ Lynn Hiestand and Andy

    As of this podcast release, Pluvicto is officially FDA-approved for stage 4 prostate cancer without the need for chemo first! At the time of this recording, it was not yet approved. But it is now officially approved, providing access to more people! 


    In today’s episode, Andy, a stage four prostate cancer patient, shares his experience undergoing three Theranostics treatments. Joining us is Lynn Hiestand, a registered nurse who has been guiding Andy through his journey. Together, we discuss what Theranostics is, how it works, and the impact it’s had on Andy’s health. Here are three takeaways: 

    Theranostics vs. Traditional Chemotherapy: Unlike chemotherapy, which affects both cancerous and healthy cells, Theranostics specifically targets cancer cells, reducing side effects like hair loss and nausea. This leads to a better quality of life for patients. Andy described feeling "weird" during chemotherapy but much better with Theranostics, calling it a game-changer. 

    Accessibility and Insurance Challenges: Insurance coverage for Theranostics varies, making access difficult for some patients. Lynn emphasizes the need for self-advocacy and exploring options, including international clinics. This discussion is crucial for those navigating cancer treatment. 

    The Importance of Education and Awareness: Both Andy and Lynn emphasize the need for greater awareness and education about Theranostics among healthcare professionals and patients alike. Many doctors may not be familiar with this treatment, which can lead to missed opportunities for patients seeking alternatives to traditional therapies. By sharing stories like Andy's and discussing the benefits of Theranostics, we can help spread the word and potentially save lives.

    Tune in now to learn more! 



    Bio:

    Lynn Hiestand holds a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Brigham Young University and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from East Tennessee State University. She began her healthcare career at the Nevada Fertility Center, where she worked as a registered nurse and patient coordinator, guiding patients through fertility treatments—particularly frozen embryo transfers—and helping them realize their dreams of becoming parents.

    In her current role with Privado Health, Lynn serves as both an RN and a patient coordinator/nurse navigator. She is dedicated to helping prostate cancer patients understand and access theranostic treatment options, providing compassionate support and guidance at every step. Lynn’s commitment to patient care, combined with her clinical expertise, makes her an invaluable resource in delivering effective, personalized treatment plans for those facing cancer.

    196 - Could Skipping Breakfast Be Messing with Your Hormones? w/ Dr. Austin Lake

    In today’s episode, Dr. Lake and I discuss all things women’s health. If you're looking to reclaim your health naturally, this episode is a must-listen! Here are three key takeaways that I found particularly interesting: 


    Intermittent Fasting for Women: A Different Approach: Dr. Lake challenges conventional intermittent fasting, especially for women. He advocates for a nutritious breakfast and lunch while shortening the evening eating window, aligning with circadian rhythms to improve insulin sensitivity and hormonal balance. His approach prioritizes listening to our bodies and nutrient-dense meals.

    The Role of Inflammation in Hormonal Imbalances: Inflammation plays a key role in women's health issues like PCOS and estrogen dominance. Dr. Lake highlights its link to insulin resistance and hormone imbalance, urging listeners to identify triggers like processed foods and toxins. Reducing inflammation supports better hormonal health and well-being. 

    Detoxing: More Than Just a Trend: Detoxing is often misunderstood, but Dr. Lake explains that our bodies detox naturally. For those with chronic issues, supporting these systems through exercise and sweating is key. He emphasizes that simple lifestyle changes, not extreme diets, can enhance detoxification.

    Tune in to the full episode for a deeper understanding of how to approach your health naturally and effectively. 



    Bio: 

    Dr. Austin Lake is a functional medicine practitioner and founder of Wholly Health, a wellness approach rooted in biblical principles and root-cause healing.

    192 - Muscle Myths Busted and Why Women Need to Lift w/ Dr. Shannon Ritchey

    In today’s episode, Dr. Ritchey and I discuss weightlifting, muscle building, and the misconceptions that often surround them. Here are my top three takeaways from our conversation: 


    We debunk the myth that weight training can turn fat into muscle. Dr. Shannon explains that while you can build muscle and lose fat at the same time, they don’t convert into each other. Fat loss comes from diet, while muscle gain requires strength training and sufficient protein. This is key for achieving a "toned" look! 


    We talk about how many women fear becoming "bulky" from weightlifting. Dr. Shannon emphasizes that building muscle is crucial for women, especially as they age, as it supports healthy body composition and hormone regulation, including insulin sensitivity. Strength training can reduce the risk of conditions like gestational diabetes and improve overall health. 


    If you're a soon-to-be mom or know someone who is, this part of the episode is a must-listen! Dr. Shannon shares her insights on the benefits of strength training during pregnancy. Contrary to popular belief, lifting weights while pregnant can be incredibly beneficial, helping to maintain muscle mass and improve recovery postpartum. She provides practical advice on how to safely strength train, emphasizing the importance of exercise selection and stability.

    Bio:

    Dr. Cheryl Lee Eberting is a board certified dermatologist, former NIH Scientist, wife, mother, and an award-winning entrepreneur and digital health visionary. With nearly 30 years of experience in transforming healthcare and leveraging technology, Dr. Eberting is a recipient of the prestigious Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award, she was named the number one woman in technology and innovation in Utah, and she led her company, AZOVA, to win the Mountain West Capital Network’s Fastest Growing Company in Utah in 2023. Back in 2014, Dr. Eberting launched a skincare line, CherylLeeMD Sensitive Skincare, for all of us who have sensitive skin. Within days of launch, people from all over the world began emailing her sales team asking to be diagnosed and treated online. This is when the idea for AZOVA was born–a way for all of us to access all of our healthcare providers, lab work, pharmacy, and even our yearly preventive exam–everything through a single app, from home. Dr. Eberting’s dream is to one day use digital health technologies to cure diseases and make healthcare accessible to everyone who needs it. To date, over one million patients have accessed care through AZOVA and Dr. Eberting says she is just getting started.
