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.

Topics Discussed:

→ Toxic ingredients in skincare and beauty products 

→ Whether clean products are actually safe

→ The truth about botox and filler 

→ Biggest lawsuits against cosmetics companies

→ Regulation in the makeup/skincare industry in the U.S. vs. abroad

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.

Topics Discussed

→ Why Dr. Joel wrote Between A Shot and A Hard Place

→ Vaccine propaganda, censorship, and open dialogue

→ The 1986 Vaccine Injury Liability Act

→ Autism, risk factors, and vaccine hesitancy

→ Informed consent and questioning medical norms

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.

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?

249: On today’s episode of Realfoodology, we’re rethinking how we approach healing, immune health, and the everyday products we trust — especially for our families. Courtney sits down with Carly Kremer, founder of Beekeeper’s Naturals, to explore how bee-based remedies like propolis and raw honey can help reinvent the medicine cabinet with functional, natural ingredients that actually support the body.

They also discuss why synthetic additives like dyes and corn syrup still show up in OTC meds, why Flonase might not be the best choice, and the emerging science behind nutraceuticals that work with your immune system — not against it.

248: In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend Krista Williams, cofounder of Almost 30, for a vulnerable conversation about body image, conscious eating, and healing our relationship with food. We explore how waking up to the way we nourish ourselves can shift how we show up in every area of life.

Krista and I also talk about the danger of hustle culture, over-exercising, and the pressure to “fix” our bodies. Her insights are deeply grounding, and I’m so excited for you to hear this conversation that left me feeling more connected, present, and whole.

Topics Discussed:

• How do I heal my relationship with food and body image?

• What is conscious eating and how can it improve my health?

• Is over-exercising harmful to your body and mental health?

• How does hustle culture impact women's health and self-worth?

• What’s the connection between emotional eating and mental health?
