Find Your Model Health!

I am reposting this friends because this topic of people wanting to test their thyroid and how to understand their thyroid health is popping up a lot in my community again. This is a GREAT episode will lots of information that you can implement immediately. Its very very common that I speak to someone who believes (or I believe) they have low thyroid function or "hypothyroidism", and they are not getting help from conventional medicine. You may get TSH tested, which is almost irrelevant, and then sent home after being told "everything looks normal". But I believe many of us know our own body better then any doctor - we have lived here for many years. So I wanted to remind you of these tests that I have spoken of before. These 4 tests can be done at home with low cost and are non invasive/pain free. You can do these tests, track your data and then discover your thyroid health for yourself. Then you can take action on supporting your body, confidently, after listening to what it is trying to tell you. These te

The old idea of “good” and “bad” cholesterol is outdated. And I know many of you are trying your best to understand what it all really means! In this powerful conversation with Dr. Jonny Bowden, we explore what truly matters for heart health and cholesterol. While our perspectives differ on certain points, this conversation offers valuable insights worth considering. I do hope you find it helpful. What you will learn in this conversation; ✅ Why "Good" and "Bad" cholesterol labels are misleading ✅ The cholesterol tests you should actually ask for ✅ Why triglycerides and inflammation are key indicators for heart disease risk ✅ How insulin resistance is the real underlying cause of most cardiovascular disease ✅ The truth about statins – when they help and when they don’t And lots more. If you’ve ever worried about cholesterol, heart disease, or whether you should take a statin, I think this interview will change the way you think about your cholesterol and heart health. Jonny Bowden, PhD, a renowned expert in

In this solo podcast episode I discuss why I believe Pure Krill oil is SUPERIOR to Fish oil and have done for almost 10 years now. Pure Krill oil has a phospholipid backbone which makes the DHA and EPA it contains more bioavailable and efficacious. I recommend avoiding nearly all commercial fish oil supplements, because the DHA and EPA are delivered in the form of ethyl esters. Ethyl esters are the least bioavailable and cheapest form of omega-3. But a new lysophospholipid form of DHA found in Krill oil shows promise for preventing macular decline that often occurs alongside chronic inflammation and diseases like Alzheimer’s and diabetes. Whereas the DHA in most fish oil supplements cannot reach the retina, where DHA concentrates, LPC-DHA crosses into the retina from the bloodstream easily. Krill oil also counteracts neuroinfammatory processes, due to its phospholipids and additional antioxidant "astaxanthin". Find out more in this newest episode. Also the link to my previous video on krill oil is here; h

I’m joined by biological dentist Dr. Toni Engram to explore the critical connection between oral health, hormones, aging, and whole-body wellness. We cover how inflammation and poor nutrition impact the mouth, how oral health changes as we age, and why hormonal shifts - especially in perimenopause and menopause - can directly affect your gums, teeth, and jaw. The importance of oral health is often overlooked when we think of "optimizing health", I hope this conversation encourages you to take your oral health more seriously and helps you understand what your oral health might be telling you about your body.
