Navigating the Nutritional Maze: A Pragmatic Approach to Optimal Health
In this enlightening episode, we break free from the shackles of dietary dogma and embrace a sensible, balanced approach to nutrition. Elanie advocates for steering clear of rigid dietary labels like keto, paleo, or vegan, instead encouraging listeners to adopt a more flexible mindset. Drawing inspiration from the paleo diet as a guiding template, we explore the importance of making common-sense nutrition decisions, such as avoiding gluten, refined sugars, and vegetable oils. Our discussion highlights the inclusion of legumes and dairy within the paleo framework for those who tolerate them, while also acknowledging that grains can have a place in moderation. Emphasizing the consumption of whole foods, pasture-raised meat, dairy, and ample vegetables, this episode empowers listeners to prioritize health without getting bogged down in dietary extremes.

Tune in to discover how embracing polyphenol-rich foods can pave the way for a longer, healthier life.

Antinutrients: Debunking Myths and Maximizing Nutrition
In this episode, we delve into the world of antinutrients, those compounds found in certain foods that have garnered a reputation for being harmful to our health. While antinutrients can interfere with the absorption of nutrients in our bodies, the truth is they're not as harmful as many health influencers make them out to be. We explore the science behind antinutrients, debunking common myths and misconceptions. Instead of demonizing these compounds, we shed light on their potential benefits and how our bodies can adapt to them.
We also discuss traditional food preparation methods which have been practiced for centuries to minimize the presence of antinutrients in foods. These techniques not only reduce antinutrient levels but also enhance the overall nutritional value of the foods we consume. By understanding how to prepare our meals properly, we can enjoy a balanced diet without worrying excessively about antinutrient content. Join us as we uncover the truth about antinutrients and learn practical tips for optimizing our food preparation methods.

The Key to Weight Loss - How to Optimize Leptin, the Master Fat Hormone
Hormone optimization is essential for maintaining a healthy weight, and one of the most important hormones for fat loss is leptin. Leptin helps our bodies maintain a healthy weight by communicating with the brain when fat mass is accumulating, so that the brain can respond by reducing hunger and increasing energy expenditure. Unfortunately, leptin-resistance can develop, causing our brain to stop responding to leptin appropriately, causing the body to gain more and more fat.
In this episode, we will discuss the role of leptin and other hormones in the accumulation and loss of fat, and how to optimize these hormones naturally, without the use of harmful weight loss drugs.

The Truth About The Placebo Effect And What It Can Tell Us About Optimal Health - with Dr. Jeff Crippen
Jeff Crippen was a child living like so many others a standard American lifestyle, until he developed a migraine that essentially lasted 15 years. Yes - 15 YEARS. Despite seeking the best that medical care had to offer, from renowned doctors to pharmaceutical drugs, his headaches persisted and intensified, as did his frustration levels as he sought answers, empathy, and relief from a system that saw him as a collection of symptoms and not a whole person.
Through the frustration, he knew there must be a better way to create and maintain health. Born out of his own pain as a patient, he embarked on a journey to rid himself - forever - of headaches that had impacted his life for decades. Today, now a healthy, thriving naturopathic doctor, chiropractor, and nutritionist, Dr. Jeff Crippen shares how our thoughts can drastically influence our health, why the placebo effect is real, and how our physical and emotional health intertwines in the quest for longevity.
