    How The Structure Of Food Impacts Their Calories | Dr. Sarah Berry

    226: In today's episode, Dr. Sarah and I discuss the food matrix and how the structure of our food actually impacts the way we digest and absorb the nutrients, how calories actually change in a food depending on their structure, and if negative calories actually exist. We dive into smoothies and the proper way to consume them, and also how fast we eat matters. And if you're peri or post menopause, Dr. Berry explains the reasons why women experience weight gain even though they haven't changed their eating habits or exercise routine and why we actually crave more food after a bad night's sleep.

    • Food matrix
    • How the structure of food impacts the calories
    • Negative calories (do they exist?)
    • Eating slower to stay fuller

    The Constipation Conversation: Get Relief By Timed Eating | Dr. Vincent Pedre

    Have you heard of the gut circadian rhythm? We often talk about our overall circadian rhythm, and most of us automatically think about sleep—waking up in the morning and going to bed at night. But did you know your gut has its own circadian rhythm? It affects digestion and may be the key to addressing issues like constipation or weight gain.


    In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Vincent Pedre, where we dive deep into how to align our metabolism with our circadian rhythm to improve sleep, support regular bowel movements, aid weight loss, and keep hunger cravings in check.


    We also explore the impact of microplastics—some of their surprising sources—and discuss how stress can contribute to constipation. We touch on how childhood antibiotics may be linked to IBS today, and offer practical ways to reduce the toxic load in our diets and daily lives.

    Don’t worry, this isn't an episode filled with doom and gloom! We’re here to provide actionable tips and resources to help you improve your health without breaking the bank. My goal is never to fearmonger, but to inform—because when we know better, we can do better. With the right knowledge and tools, we can all lead healthier, happier lives.


    Topics Discussed:

    • You don’t have to have obvious gut symptoms to have a gut issue
    • Non-gut issues that may actually be gut-related
    • Common causes of constipation
    • Natural ways to relieve constipation
    • Why the timing of your meals matters
    • How timed eating supports constipation relief, weight loss, and IBS
    • The dangers of over-sanitization
    • Microplastics: Beyond just plastic items
    • How stress affects digestion, causing constipation and diarrhea
    • The link between childhood antibiotics and IBS today
    • Simple swaps and changes to reduce our toxic load in daily routines

    Are You Prone To Autoimmune Disease? Stress, Weight Management + Feminism

    228: This episode is different from most as Dr. Austin Lake and I discuss how the feminist movement perhaps does more harm than good to women's health and WHY women are more prone to autoimmune diseases. We get into the nitty gritty of how our society has driven women into becoming the perfect storm in accumulating more stress and responsibilities than men and the domino effect that plays in our overall health as families. Dr. Austin and I also dive into our own faith and how that has been super important in our own lives and the question of "Why does God not heal us even if we have been praying for healing for years?" - the answer to this may not be definite, but it sure brings hope to those looking for healing and relief especially if you are a believer....but even if you're not, our conversation went beyond our faith as we also dove into if coffee was a friend or foe (especially for women), if fasting is healthy, how we can avoid toxins recirculating in our body, ideas to help you save money all while saving your health. 


    We went in all directions in our conversations and you will get a bite of everything in this episode, so I hope you listen all the way through because I have no doubt every person that does will get something out of it they can take away and apply to their own lives. 



    Topics Discussed:


    • Why women have more health issues than men
    • Saving money while prioritizing your health
    • Why God doesn't heal us even when we have prayed for healing
    • The importance of slowing down
    • How society has made our health worse
    • How coffee can be our friend
    • Fasting (good or bad?)
    • Individual health needs

    Topics Discussed:


    - WHY we are seeing more “bioengineered” ingredients in food  

    - Label laws and mandates  

    - List of bioengineered foods  

    - GMOs vs selective breeding  

    - Organic certifications  

    - Non-GMO Project certification  

    - Why certifications aren’t a “free pass”  

    - Why certain brands don’t have certifications  

    - How to choose the best foods in grocery stores  

    - Tips for buying non-GMO foods (how to spot them)
