Today, we're diving into a topic that's as vital as the air we breathe but often overlooked: the water we drink. And not just any water—coherent water. You might be thinking, "Water is just water, right?" But what if I told you that the quality of the water you consume could drastically change not only your health but also the quality of your life?

Imagine this: 98.6% of the molecules in your body are water. That means water isn’t just something you drink; it’s essentially who you are. But here's the kicker: the state of that water matters. It’s not just about being H2O—it’s about how that water is structured, how it’s energized, and how it interacts with every cell in your body. When we change the state of the water we consume, we change our entire biology, boosting our energy, enhancing brain function, balancing our gut microbiome, and even reversing the signs of aging.

That’s where our guest today comes in. Meet Mario Brainovic, the CEO of Analemma, a revolutionary company that’s transforming the way we think about water. Mario is on a mission to change the world one sip at a time by upgrading your everyday tap or bottled water into something truly remarkable: coherent water. This isn’t your average filtered or purified water. Coherent water is structured and charged to mirror the natural, harmonious state found in untouched nature.

So, what exactly is coherent water? Think of it like this: regular water is chaotic and disorganized at the molecular level. It’s like listening to a symphony where all the instruments are out of tune—it’s still music, but it’s not pleasant, and it’s certainly not optimal. Coherent water, on the other hand, is like that same symphony but perfectly in sync, every note harmonizing beautifully. And when you drink that symphony, every cell in your body starts to perform at its best.

The technology behind Analemma isn’t just about filtering out impurities—it’s about transforming the water’s molecular structure, restoring it to a state that can significantly enhance our health. Clinical studies have shown that drinking this water can increase your cellular energy by boosting ATP production—essentially the battery that powers your body. Imagine having 20% more energy simply by changing the water you drink! It’s like giving your cells a power-up, making them work more efficiently so you can feel more vibrant, focused, and alive.

But it doesn’t stop there. Analemma water has been shown to improve brain function, enhance gut health, and even slow down the aging process. In one study, participants who drank coherent water daily for three months showed up to 12 years of biological age regeneration. That’s right—just by drinking better water, you could potentially turn back the clock on your cellular age.

And if you’re still skeptical, (I get it I was too!) consider the groundbreaking work of Dr. Masaru Emoto, whose studies revealed that water can change its structure based on the energy and intention it’s exposed to. Water exposed to positive thoughts and words formed beautiful, symmetrical crystals, while water exposed to negativity became disordered and chaotic. This tells us something profound: the water we consume holds a kind of memory, an energy that can either enhance or disrupt our body’s harmony.

So today, Mario is here to unpack all things coherent water: what it is, why it matters, and how you can start upgrading your water—and your life—today. Whether you’re dealing with low energy, brain fog, gut issues, or just want to optimize your health in every way possible, this conversation will open your eyes to the power of water like never before.

Today, we're diving deep into something that so many of us are grappling with right now—our mental and emotional well-being. If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or trapped in patterns that don't serve you, then this episode is for you.


Lately, I've had countless conversations with friends who are struggling. They keep asking the same questions:

  • Why am I still suffering?
  • Why can't I break out of these unhealthy patterns?
  • Why don't I have the career, the body, the relationship I want?

If these questions resonate with you, then you're in the right place. In this episode, we're talking about How to Rewire Your Brain For Success: 4 Core Beliefs to Adopt to Upgrade Your Life.


This is for you if:

  • You want to stop the negative thinking and fear-based thoughts.
  • You struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, or "I'm not good enough-itis."
  • You're ready to upgrade your life in every way—spiritually, mentally, physically, financially, and emotionally.
  • You're tired of feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns, or as my friend Ashley calls it, "quicksand."
  • You know deep down that you're meant for more and you're ready to step into that.


The Four Core Beliefs to Upgrade Your Life

In this series, we're going to cover four essential beliefs that will transform your life. I'll give you a sneak peek now, and then we'll dive deeper into each one.

  1. You Can Rewire Your Brain to Change Your Patterns
  2. Yes, you can! It's possible to reprogram your mind to overcome fear, anxiety, self-hate, and overwhelm. Imagine waking up each day with self-love and joy. That's the upgrade we're aiming for.
  3. You Can Live in the Present Moment
  4. We often get stuck in negative programming from the past or anxiety about the future. But when you live in the present moment, you can become the person you're meant to be and fully experience your life.
  5. You Have the Power to Change
  6. And guess what? That change can happen instantly. By harnessing your inner power, you can make the shifts necessary to upgrade your life right now.
  7. You Can Do Hard Things
  8. Growth happens when we push ourselves out of our comfort zones. By doing hard things, we create new neural pathways that lead to an upgraded life.


Breaking Free from the Mental Shackles

I know this might sound impossible to some of you. Your brain might be telling you, "This isn't possible for me." But that's your brain trying to protect you, keeping you in a loop of unhealthy thought patterns. Today, we're going to talk about how to break that cycle.


You're Not Alone

If any of this resonates with you—if you feel like a prisoner to your circumstances, overwhelmed by negative thoughts, or just exhausted from trying to stay positive—know that you're not alone. I've been there, and I understand how hard it can be. But I also know that change is possible.

This episode is for anyone who feels ready to give up, who has tried everything and still feels stuck. We're going to explore the neuroscience behind how our brains work and how we can rewire them to create lasting change.


What If You Could Shift?

What if I told you that you could:

  • Have real, authentic love for yourself no matter your body shape or level of success?
  • Overcome depression and anxiety and rise above your fears?
  • Experience true freedom in how you think, feel, and live?
  • Follow your dreams with confidence and thrive every day?


You can have all of this and more. By adopting the four core beliefs we'll discuss, you can rewire your brain, break free from past limitations, and start living the life you've always dreamed of.

Today marks the fifth episode of The Upgrade series, where we continue our journey of self-empowerment and personal growth. In our last episode, we explored the first five of ten fears that often keep us from realizing our true potential. If you haven't listened to that episode yet, be sure to go back and catch up!


This episode is for all of you current and aspiring thought leaders, creatives, visionaries, influencers, entrepreneurs, and business owners. Whether you're already established or still dreaming of making your mark, this episode is your guide to breaking through those final barriers that hold you back.


One of the most common fears is the fear of bad reviews, trolls, and haters. When you're doing something worthwhile, negativity is almost inevitable. The key is not to let it affect your energy or mission. Learning to forgive, block, and bless those who bring negativity into your space is essential to maintaining your positivity and focus. Remember, it's the people who resonate with your message that truly matter.


Another significant fear is the fear of failure. But failure is not the end—it's merely a stepping stone to success. Every setback offers an opportunity to learn and grow. Many of the world's most successful people faced significant failures before they achieved greatness, and your journey can be no different.


The fear of being too old can also be paralyzing, but age is just a number. Whether you're 30, 40, 50, or beyond, it's never too late to start something new and impactful. The world is full of examples of people who found success later in life, and you can be one of them.


Often, we feel that we need permission to pursue our dreams. But stop waiting for external validation—the only permission you need is your own. Everything you need to start making a difference is already within you, and the time to act is now.


Lastly, there's the fear that you won't convince people of your message. It's important to remember that your message isn't for everyone, and that's okay. Focus on those who need to hear your story and who will be moved by it. When you're passionate about what you're sharing, the right people will find you and be inspired by your journey.


This episode is dedicated to helping you gain the confidence you need to live a life filled with passion, purpose, health, and wealth. If you’re ready to overcome the imposter syndrome once and for all, this is the episode you can’t afford to miss. Let’s leave those fears in the past where they belong and step into the greatness that 2024 and beyond have in store for us.

In the fourth episode of the Upgrade series on Food Heals, we dive deep into the myths and fears that fuel imposter syndrome and keep us from achieving our full potential.


Today, we're going to debunk five common fears that hold us back from our greatness, so we can overcome the imposter monster for good and leave our fears in the past.


While we often focus on healing the physical body here on Food Heals, by talking about functional medicine, food, supplements, etc., we also need to address our emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being to truly heal. That’s why I’m so passionate about overcoming imposter syndrome!


One of the biggest fears is worrying about what others will think. It's just part of life that people will judge us, but how we respond is what matters. Instead of letting their opinions stop us, we need to focus on those who support and understand us. Remember, be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.


Another fear is the fear of our own greatness. Marianne Williamson nailed it when she said our deepest fear isn't that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. When we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. We're meant to live in truth, love, and abundance, not to play small.


We also fear being exposed as a fraud. It's about changing our mindset and embracing our authentic selves. When we're genuine and accept our imperfections, we connect more deeply with others and build a supportive community. It's impossible to be a fraud of oneself.


Another common fear is thinking others are already doing what we want to do. Your unique perspectives and experiences make your contributions valuable. There's enough room for everyone to succeed, and adopting an abundance mindset can help you move forward with confidence.


Lastly, there’s the fear that we’re not expert enough. But remember, if you’ve lived it, you’re an expert in it. Your life experiences and the knowledge you’ve gained from them are incredibly valuable. You don’t need a degree to validate your expertise.


By facing these fears head-on, we can overcome imposter syndrome and achieve our dreams. So, let's leave those fears behind and step into our greatness together in the Upgrade Mastermind.

In the second episode in The Upgrade series on Food Heals, I share the gripping and emotional story of how I almost lost everything - not once but twice - but ultimately emerged stronger than ever. After losing both of my parents to cancer and discovering that my father's estate was being mismanaged by a trusted family friend, I found myself on the brink of homelessness and financial ruin. Despite these overwhelming challenges, I was determined to rebuild my life.


With no safety net and fueled by a mission to honor my parents' legacies, I launched a video production company that thrived for 15 years. However, it was my passion for health and wellness that led me to start the Food Heals podcast, where I interviewed people who had healed themselves through alternative medicine and a plant-based diet. The podcast quickly gained popularity, allowing me to live a life aligned with my purpose.


Despite facing setbacks during the pandemic, including a painful divorce and the near collapse of my business, I pivoted once again. I began coaching others, writing a book, and embracing the digital nomad lifestyle. Through it all, I learned that self-belief and resilience are key to overcoming adversity and achieving success.


Join me on this incredible journey as I share the highs and lows of my entrepreneurial path, offering inspiration and practical advice for anyone looking to turn their own struggles into triumphs.


I’m also excited to announce the launch of something bigger and better than ever before:


THE UPGRADE MASTERMIND:

In the first episode of the The Upgrade series on Food Heals, we explore the transformative power of incantations and why they are more effective than affirmations. This series is designed for purpose-driven people, creators, influencers, entrepreneurs, and rebels who are ready to live without limits and upgrade their health and wealth.


The big news is that I’ve moved back to LA, the city where I built my adult life and career. After a period in Florida, North Carolina, and two years in Nashville, I felt a strong calling to return home. While I loved my time away, especially in Nashville, I faced daily anxiety from a troublesome neighbor. This experience taught me the importance of setting boundaries and using powerful incantations to reclaim my peace. Affirmations weren’t enough; I needed the certainty that incantations provided.


Certainty has been a cornerstone in my life, even in the most uncertain times. In this series, we’ll delve into how to act with certainty, gain confidence, overcome imposter syndrome, and tackle anxiety, overwhelm, and depression to rewire our brains for success. I’ll share stories from my entrepreneurial journey, and share how confidence in my convictions and belief in myself have helped me achieve what once seemed impossible. And, how you can do the same!


On the next episode, I’ll dive deeper into my entrepreneurial journey and discuss how certainty has been crucial to my success, even during the most uncertain circumstances. This series is about more than just sharing stories; it’s about offering tools and insights to help you upgrade your own life.


I’m also thrilled to announce the launch of something bigger and better than ever before: THE UPGRADE MASTERMIND. This high-energy, year-long group coaching program combines everything I’ve learned and practiced over the past 18 years. It’s designed to help people achieve health and success in every area of their lives—spiritually, emotionally, mentally, financially, and physically.


Imagine being part of a community where you can dream big, be deeply listened to, and be pushed out of your comfort zone. As Walt Disney said, “If you can dream it, you can do it.”

In our final episode of the "Doctors Gone Rogue" series, we’re paying tribute to a true legend in the field of holistic medicine. Today, we honor the remarkable legacy of Dr. John McDougall, who passed away last month. I'm also excited to feature the incredible work of Dr. Joel Kahn, known as "America’s Healthy Heart Doc." Both are plant-based doctors who believe in food as medicine.


First up, let’s talk about Dr. Joel Kahn. Dr. Kahn transitioned from traditional cardiology to holistic practices after experiencing the profound benefits of a plant-based vegan diet himself. Believing in the power of nutrition for heart health, he now focuses on non-traditional diagnostic tools and prevention tactics. This interview feels more like a night at the Laugh Factory than a conversation with a cardiologist! Dr. Kahn’s blend of facts and humor had us in stitches as we covered topics like nutrition, longevity, sex, stress, and “how not to die!”


Next, we turn our attention to the beloved Dr. John McDougall. A physician and nutrition expert, Dr. McDougall dedicated his life to teaching the power of a whole-food, starch-based diet in preventing and reversing chronic diseases. His journey began after a massive stroke at age 18, which led him to embrace holistic, plant-based nutrition as a path to true healing.


Dr. McDougall’s legacy is monumental. He founded the renowned McDougall Program, authored best-selling books, and passionately advocated for dietary therapy as a cornerstone of health. His impact on the medical community and the lives of countless patients is immeasurable.


On June 25th, Dr. McDougall’s daughter, Heather McDougall, announced his passing. Dr. McDougall leaves behind quite the legacy, and we re-play this interview to honor that legacy today.


So, let’s dive into this special episode, the final episode of the "Doctors Gone Rogue" series, honoring the legacies of Dr. Joel Kahn and Dr. John McDougall. These two plant-based doctors are living proof of the healing power of nutrition. They have bucked the traditional route of medicine and truly embody the notion that food heals.

Today we honor the Mavericks in Herbology, Holistic Healing, & Traditional Medicine.


In this limited series, we’re diving into the stories of the game changers—the outcasts and outliers who dared to think differently. They went against their traditional training and faced skepticism from their peers. But their persistence paid off. Their patients healed, their families thrived, and they themselves found renewed health.


These are their stories. Stories of courage, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of healing. Join us as we celebrate the doctors who dared to go rogue and, in doing so, changed the landscape of medicine forever.


This is episode three of "Doctors Gone Rogue" on the Food Heals Podcast. 


Dr. Bill Rawls

Meet Dr. Bill Rawls, MD, a fourth-generation physician who bucked tradition after facing a personal health crisis with Lyme disease. Realizing the limitations of conventional medicine, he discovered the healing power of herbs and embraced integrative health. Now a leading expert, Dr. Rawls shares his knowledge through his book, The Cellular Wellness Solution, helping others transform their health with science-backed herbal therapies. His journey from crisis to advocate for natural wellness is truly inspiring.


Learn more about Dr. Bill Rawls at RawlsMD.com. And my interview with Dr.Rawls was so good, that we made it a two-parter. Listen to two full episodes on episodes 427 and 428 of Food Heals.


Dr. Gil Kajiki

Meet Dr. Gil Kajiki, a chiropractor and Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner who revolutionized the treatment of hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s Autoimmune Thyroid without pharmaceutical drugs. When his wife's health deteriorated and conventional medicine failed her, Dr. Kajiki discovered natural solutions through supplements, lifestyle changes, and diet. Now, at the Valley Thyroid Institute, he helps patients worldwide overcome thyroid issues drug-free, inspired by his wife's journey to wellness.

Dr. Angela DeBord Henriksen 

Meet Dr. Angela DeBord Henriksen, a board-certified physician who transformed her approach to medicine by embracing holistic health. When a misdiagnosed patient improved dramatically through dietary changes rather than pharmaceuticals, Angela realized the profound impact of nutrition on health. Now, she passionately helps patients heal and prevent disease by focusing on root causes and empowering them to make healthier food choices, embodying the philosophy that "food heals."

Today we celebrate the innovators, the mavericks, and the rebels who went rogue. 

In the words of Steve Jobs, “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

That iconic quote by Steve Jobs perfectly captures the essence of our new limited series, "Doctors Gone Rogue." These are the trailblazers who saw beyond the confines of traditional medicine. They believed in the body’s incredible ability to heal itself when given the right tools and environment.


Dr. Edward Group

Meet Dr. Edward Group, a chemist on the path to becoming a heart surgeon who realized that allopathic medicine treated symptoms but not the root cause. After losing both parents to cancer, he shifted his focus to holistic health, founding Global Healing to help people heal naturally.

Faced with rising cancer rates in even young animals, he ditched traditional methods for a mix of herbs, vitamins, and acupuncture. Now, he's improving and extending the lives of pets other vets had given up on.


Learn more about Dr. Marty at DrMartysPets.com. And my interview with Dr. Marty was so good, that we made it a two-parter. Listen to two full episodes with Dr. Marty Goldstein on episodes 439 and 440 of Food Heals.


Dr. Juli Kramer

Finally, Meet Dr. Juli Kramer, who defied conventional medicine when her doctor suggested microwaving her body to treat her severe gynecological problems. Unsatisfied with merely treating symptoms, Juli sought a deeper solution and discovered the healing power of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Do you struggle with IBD or severe IBS? Constant pain and chronic fatigue? Always worrying about where the bathroom is? Medication dependence? Being unable to enjoy food? Then this episode is for you.

Approximately 1.6 million Americans currently have IBD, an increase of about 200,000 since the last time the CCFA reported this figure in 2011. And these are just the reported cases, so the actual number is much higher.

The truth is that medications don’t fix IBD. But my guest today does.

Josh has perfected what he calls The Gut Health Solution. His proven process works so well that even doctors have said, “That’s impossible!”

Today's guest, Josh Dech, shares exactly how and why it IS possible. Josh is an ex-paramedic, holistic nutritionist, medical lecturer, and physician’s consultant for IBD and other complex digestive diseases. He lives in Calgary, Alberta, and works with clients all over the world to help them naturally repair their gut and stay healthy.

In the last two episodes of Food Heals, we introduced you to Dr. Jeremy Ayres and John Gusty, the authors of The Red Pill Revolution: Exposing The Illusion and Hidden Agendas. Today, you'll hear a reading from Chapter 8 of their book, entitled, "Dis-ease"

In this episode, you'll learn how even health, one of the most sacred human rights, has been corrupted by the System.

Ask anyone from any country if people are healthier or sicker than fifty years ago, and the answer is always "Sicker!" Chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, obesity, cancer, and mental health issues are skyrocketing, even in developing countries adopting modern lifestyles.

There's no question that modern humanity is getting sicker. This suggests two things: our current way of living is causing more health problems, and modern medicine is not effectively treating chronic conditions. These points are hard to dispute, but could this situation be deliberate?

Why would anyone want to cause or allow widespread illness? And why offer ineffective medical treatments? The answer lies in the System, which benefits from our sickness. It turns out, sickness is good business.

Next up, Chapter 8 of The Red Pill Revolution. Get the book on Amazon and join the membership at NaturallyBetter4you.com.

In our last episode, we introduced you to Dr. Jeremy Ayres and John Gusty, the brilliant minds behind The Red Pill Revolution: Exposing The Illusion and Hidden Agendas. Today, we delve deeper into their groundbreaking work.

In this episode, you'll get a sneak peek into the book's powerful content. We start with Chapter One, setting the stage for the revelations that follow. Stick around until the end, where we reveal an all-natural treatment for osteoporosis and arthritis that actually works!

Why are alcohol and tobacco legal, but psychedelics outlawed? Why are antidepressants handed out like candy? Why is something as addictive as sugar promoted on the “healthy eating” guide?

We are constantly reminded that our noble leaders and institutions are busy working on solutions. Surely, the scary world of today must give way to a future of peace and prosperity... someday soon!

But of course, it never happens, does it? New wars are justified, countries are bombed, citizens flee around the world, epidemics and famines come and go, oil is spilled, rainforests are cleared, stocks go up, and all the while people everywhere seem to be getting sicker and weaker.

The same question always hangs over everything: with all the taxes we pay and all the great advances in technology and learning, why doesn’t it ever seem to get better?

The most obvious answer must be that a better world was never the intention. If you look carefully, the situation everywhere seems to be getting worse. That can only be deliberate.

We are told that the world is making progress, but the reality is that it gets better only for a select few. By any sensible measure, the rest of us are constantly slipping further into physical, mental, and spiritual sickness.

Illness must be part of the plan.

Enter Dr. Jeremy Ayres and John Gusty, co-authors of The Red Pill Revolution and today's guests on Food Heals. This book may be a hard pill to swallow, but it's a necessary conversation for anyone wishing to sanely navigate the chaotic and predatory culture we all find ourselves in. We all know something is just not right. We all sense the imbalance, injustice, and insanity. But what can we actually do about it? Who and what can be trusted?

We all know something is just not right. We all sense the imbalance, injustice, and insanity. But what can we actually do about it? Who and what can be trusted?

Most of what is discussed in this book would never make its way into mainstream corporate media. This is not only the problem but also the solution.

Be prepared to become a very different human being after listening to this episode.

What if I told you our metabolism is under attack?

88% of Americans are “metabolically unhealthy.”

75% of Americans are overweight or obese.

34% of Americans are pre-diabetic, and 9.4% are diabetic.

Metabolism, or the body’s process of converting food into energy, is vital to our health. A strong metabolism can help promote better sleep, control mood, manage weight, and improve energy levels. An unhealthy metabolism can have the opposite effect.

People who are metabolically unhealthy have less-than-ideal biomarkers, like blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels. Chronic diseases, such as diabetes or cardiovascular issues, are linked to poor metabolic health. These conditions are among the leading causes of death in the United States.

Luckily, there is hope. Enter Ketones.

Ketones are a natural source of fuel for your body. They are often created when your stored carbs are depleted, triggering your body to convert fat into ketones for fuel. Unlike fats, ketones can cross the blood-brain barrier, allowing ketones to fuel both the brain and the body.

Compared to other sources of energy like glucose or fat, ketones are a more efficient fuel that can produce more power while using less oxygen.

Ketone levels can be measured in a number of ways and are a key biomarker to assess metabolic health.

Ancient humans relied on ketones for fuel, not sugar. But due to modern diets and sedentary lifestyles, we often eat more carbs than we need and store the excess. This prevents our bodies from running on ketones, often leading to reduced energy levels, unwanted weight gain, and chronic metabolic diseases.

My guest today believes that the best version of yourself starts with good metabolic health—and ketones are the answer. Michael Brandt is the Co-founder of H.V.M.N., who makes the shot, Ketone IQ, a little shot of ketones you can take on a daily basis.

The advantages of taking ketones include sustained energy, mental clarity, endurance and recovery, weight management, metabolic health, longevity, and more.

Have you ever tasted something so good, so fresh that you can never go back to your old ways of eating? That's how I feel about olive oil. And today, I'm excited to share this culinary revelation with you for just $1. But let me take you back to where it all began.

The first time I went to Italy, I experienced fresh olive oil for the first time. It wasn't that I had never tasted olive oil before in the States, but the difference was profound. I was savoring olive oil made fresh from olives grown on the property we were staying at, in Ravello, off the Amalfi coast. It was an unforgettable experience, and I knew I couldn't go back to store-bought olive oil, so I ended up shipping six bottles of it home.

The same thing happened to T. J. Robinson, also known as the Olive Oil Hunter. He also had a transformative encounter with olive oil in Italy. He discovered that olive oil packs the most flavor and health benefits when it's fresh from the farm. That's the issue with typical supermarket olive oils—they lack freshness, sitting on shelves for months and growing stale.

Known for his “platinum palate,” T. J. is one of the few Americans invited to serve as a judge in prestigious Italian olive oil tasting competitions and he knew he was the one to solve this problem. And so he did! That's when Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club was born.

And now you and I get to experience this olive oil from small, award-winning farms, thanks to T. J., our guest on today's Food Heals podcast. When I tasted T. J.'s farm-fresh oils, I fell in love with their vibrant, grassy flavors. They elevate salads, veggies, pasta, and make exquisite salad dressings.

Today, T. J. is dedicated to importing rare fresh-pressed olive oil, the most flavorful and healthiest extra virgin olive oil available. Until now, obtaining such quality year-round in the U.S. has been nearly impossible. Rest assured, all of T. J.'s oils are independently lab-tested and certified for 100% purity.

The freshness, flavor, and health benefits of this just-pressed oil will astonish you ... it will utterly blow away any olive oil you can find in the U.S. And that’s for one simple reason: This is fresh-pressed supreme extra virgin olive oil—raced here by jet straight from the olive harvest and it's independently certified to be 100% pure extra virgin.

As an introduction to his Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil Club, T. J. offers a remarkable opportunity. For just $1, you can receive a full-size $39 bottle of one of the world's finest artisanal olive oils—fresh from the new harvest. This offer isn't tied to any commitment to purchase anything, now or ever.

Weed killers like Roundup are literally killing us by poisoning our farmers and our food supply and the same company that makes the poison makes the cure. (I'll take things that make you go hmm for 500, Alex!) Luckily the filmmakers behind the new documentary Common Ground are exposing it all and you can watch it live on Earth Day April 22nd. 

By fusing journalistic exposure with deeply personal stories from those on the front lines of the food movement, Common Ground unveils a dark web of money, power, and politics behind our broken food system. The film reveals how unjust practices forged our current farm system in which farmers of all colors are literally dying to feed us. I've got director Rebecca Tickell here today to tell us more about it.

A hopeful and uplifting story of the pioneers of the “Regenerative Movement” who produce tremendous quantities of nutritionally dense food and are working to balance the climate – all while bringing our entire ecosystem back to life. The film explores how Americans from different walks of life, different political backgrounds, and different parts of the country share one thing in common –the very soil beneath their feet.

The film investigates the power of “regenerative” farming systems –from large to small-scale farmers who are the champions of soil health as the key to unlocking more (and healthier) food to feed America and the world. Stars Laura Dern, Rosario Dawson, Ian Somerhalder, Jason Mamoa, Woody Harrelson, etc.

Common Ground is the highly anticipated sequel to the juggernaut success documentary, Kiss the Ground, which touched over 1 billion people globally and inspired the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to put $20 billion toward soil health.The film profiles a hopeful and uplifting movement of white, black, and indigenous farmers who are using alternative “regenerative” models of agriculture that could balance the climate, save our health, and stabilize America’s economy – before it’s too late.

Media, commercials, medspas and advertisements would have us believe that we need the latest facials, skincare, botox, filler and skin tightening lasers to anti-age ourselves and while I am no stranger to a facial, I would argue that anti-aging starts from within and that we have a lot more control over the cellular age of our bodies and our abilities to live longer stronger lives than we think we do.

Chronic diseases claim millions of lives prematurely each year, striking indiscriminately across the globe. The tragedy is compounded by the fact that many of these diseases are preventable, through changes in lifestyle, diet, detoxification, and fostering a positive mindset.

And supplementing what we are losing - doing what the biohackers do

One of these anti-aging bio hacks is NAD+.

NAD+—the elusive molecule often hailed as "the aging molecule"—holds profound sway over the trajectory of our aging process. Its decline with age is believed to underpin several key mechanisms of aging, from mitochondrial function to genetic repair and stem cell renewal. By maintaining or augmenting NAD+ levels, we have the potential to fortify the cellular processes that dictate how we age.

So for those of us who are intent on preventing chronic disease, healing our traumas and living long healthy lives well into our 90s and maybe even hundreds without regrets.. One of the solutions lies in bolstering our NAD+ levels. And that is what today's guest  Director of Product Development at Neurohacker Collective, and naturopath Dr. Gregory Kelly is here to discuss 

Enter Qualia NAD+: a multi-dimensional approach to NAD+ optimization that represents a quantum leap in the quest for longevity and vitality. With a meticulously crafted blend of NAD+ precursors and supporting ingredients, Qualia NAD+ offers a comprehensive strategy to enhance NAD+ production and support cellular health.

Three crucial precursors—NIAGEN® (NR), niacin, and niacinamide—form the backbone of Qualia NAD+, ensuring that your body has the necessary building blocks to synthesize NAD+ effectively. But it doesn't stop there. With an array of supporting ingredients—from organic coffeeberry to marine-derived magnesium and fermented B vitamins—Qualia NAD+ addresses the intricate web of factors that influence NAD+ metabolism and cellular energy production.

The results speak for themselves. In a pilot study at Neurohacker, participants experienced marked improvements in their Healthy Aging Scores, indicating enhanced physical health, emotional well-being, and sexual function. With an overwhelming majority expressing a desire to continue using Qualia NAD+, coupled with high ratings for product experience, the efficacy of this formulation is undeniable.

In Part 2 of our series with JJ Flizanes, we delve deeper into the transformative process of Core Wound Mapping. Building upon the foundation laid in Part 1, we embark on a vulnerable journey of self-discovery and healing.

Guided by JJ, I open up about my personal experiences and explore the core wounds that have shaped my life. Together, we navigate through layers of emotions and memories, uncovering patterns and triggers that have held me back.

The process of Core Wound Mapping involves peeling back the layers of past traumas and childhood experiences to identify the roots of our emotional struggles. With JJ's guidance, I confront these core wounds head-on, recognizing their impact on my thoughts, behaviors, and relationships.

Through this introspective journey, I gain valuable insights into my own psyche and begin to understand the underlying beliefs that have been limiting my growth. JJ's expertise in helping individuals transmute struggle into joy shines through as she offers compassionate support and practical advice.

As we unravel the complexities of my core wounds, I am reminded of the power of neuroplasticity and somatic healing practices. By rewiring our brains and releasing stored trauma from our bodies, we can break free from the cycle of functional freeze and step into our full potential.

Sharing this vulnerable experience with our listeners, I hope to inspire others to embark on their own journey of self-discovery and healing. By confronting our core wounds and embracing the process of rewiring our brains, we can transform our lives and create a future filled with joy, abundance, and fulfillment.

Food Heals Nation, I invite you to join JJ in exploring the transformative power of Core Wound Mapping and experience a consciousness upgrade for yourselves.  Mark your calendars for the Consciousness Upgrade Summit, April 17th and 18th.

Have you heard about NAD+? It’s one of the most important molecules in the human body to age well. NAD+ helps promote cellular energy, maintain healthy DNA, detect nutrients efficiently, supports detoxification, and supports your cellular health. Simply put, keeping your NAD+ levels high is VITAL to helping the body feel youthful. 

But did you know NAD+ levels plummet with age? By age 50, most people’s NAD+ levels are only HALF of what they were at age 20.

Luckily, science has discovered a way to boost your NAD+ levels up to 50%!*

It’s called Qualia NAD+, a groundbreaking supplement from Neurohacker Collective. The reason so many health experts are partnering with Neurohacker and the reason I’m proud to have them sponsor this podcast is you’re simply not going to find more carefully researched, life-changing nutritional formulas, especially for aging well.

Have you heard of neuroplasticity? In simple terms, it's the brain's ability to change and adapt due to experience.

In more complex terms, it's the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization. These changes range from individual neuron pathways making new connections to systematic adjustments like cortical remapping or neural oscillation.

What it means for us is that when we feel stuck, we can break free by challenging ourselves to do something different, which in turn rewires our brains. Cool, right?

My guest today helps people rewire their brains through a process she calls Core Wound Mapping. JJ Flizanes works with conscious, spiritual truth-seekers who want to remove emotional blocks to success. She helps people identify sabotaging patterns and transmute struggle into joy.

In this episode, JJ shares that by discovering our core wounds, which usually occur in childhood, we can rewire our brains as adults and break free of old wounds and patterns that are holding us prisoner.

This is a two-part episode. Part One is my interview with JJ, and in part two, I am volunteering as tribute! That's right, I'm getting vulnerable. You'll hear JJ take me through a process of uncovering my core wounds and give me some advice on how to let go of the past and move forward with grace and ease and show up better in the world for myself and others.

If you like this content, JJ does have a free event where you can learn more. It's an online summit - mark your calendars for April 17th and 18th for her Consciousness Upgrade Summit.

What if there was an evidenced-based, food-as-medicine protocol for kick-starting weight-loss and keeping it off permanently?


That's what my guest, Dr. Neal Barnard is back on the show to discuss!


To remind you, Dr. Barnard is President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and was featured in Forks Over Knives, What The Health, Plant Pure Nation, Supersize Me, and many more incredible films, and has been a guest on this podcast probably 4-5 times now.


His brand new book, The Power Foods Diet: The Breakthrough Plan That Traps, Tames, and Burns Calories for Easy and Permanent Weight Loss just released Tuesday, I was honored to get a copy and I am just pouring over every single word.


Weight loss is one of our top health concerns, so much so that we keep looking for good ways to lose weight, preferably a way that is easy, effective, and permanent. It turns out that, when properly  chosen, certain foods cause weight loss, with no need for the deprivation and planning that most weight-loss regimens require. 


In the book, Dr. Barnard reveals three breakthroughs that are supported by research, revealing that certain foods:

1.  can reduce the appetite

2.  trap calories so they are flushed away and cannot be absorbed, and,

3.  increase the body’s ability to burn calories for about three hours after each meal. 


These breakthroughs make weight loss incredibly easy, without calorie counting or deprivation. This diet encourages people to eat, not to stop eating. Dr. Barnard also reveals that some of the foods we think are good for us can actually be harmful, like salmon, goat cheese, and coconut oil, all of which pass easily into body fat...and often overstay their welcome. 


To make it easy, Dr. Barnard includes a simple to follow meal plan that includes delicious, and even indulgent plant-based recipes which include foods we have often been told to avoid, like potatoes and pasta, so you can eat real food, and still lose real weight.
