Episode 177: Why You Need Supplements Part 1

Monday Feb 24, 2020

Monday Feb 24, 2020

One of the most common questions we hear both in clinic and from podcast listeners is “but I already eat a squeaky clean keto or paleo diet, do I really need supplements?” The answer is YES as even individuals with the “perfect” diet can see micronutrient deficiency based on demand of their body during times of increased stress, injury, illness, pregnancy and beyond. There are so many factors that contribute as well to inability to absorb or utilize the nutrients we are consuming from genetic variants like MTHFR to gut integrity issues. Not to mention that we can even see inadequate intake of certain nutrients if restricting specific foods or based on changes in farming practices and sourcing. Tune in to hear Ali and Becki tackle common reasons for deficiency and how use of high dose nutrients can accelerate outcomes, support metabolic pathways and ultimately lead to optimal health! 

 

In this episode, we cover the multitude of reasons that you need supplements to thrive in your body and how we use strategic supplementation both clinically and personally to get into superhuman mode. Whether looking to drive remission with autoimmune disease, optimize hormones, or just feel more resilient to stress, you will learn how we use functional targeted nutritional supplementation to yield clinical results. Plus learn how supplements can replace potentially harmful over the counter and prescription medications and actually address the root cause for ongoing resolution versus a bandaid quick-fix that will likely drive dysfunction down the line!

Episode 168: Normalize Keto

Monday Dec 23, 2019

Monday Dec 23, 2019

The ketogenic diet is often seen as a “radical” approach but in actuality ketosis is a natural metabolic state that is necessary for survival. Not only that, ketosis enhances quality of life and whole body health via its neurological, inflammatory and metabolic benefits. Tune in to hear Ali and Becki break down their approach to real food keto and how you can use ketosis as medicine to achieve optimal health. 

 

In this episode, Ali and Becki discuss the polarizing nature of the ketogenic diet and break down why keto is NOT a new or novel approach. In reality, getting into a state of ketosis is an adaptive mechanism and human beings are designed to be hybrids in order to survive in times of lack of food. That said, not all ketogenic diets are created equal and the use of keto products riddled with non-caloric sweeteners and GMO corn derivatives have no place in a real food diet. Learn about new research in the application of the ketogenic diet for neurological conditions, mood disorders and beyond and how our balanced approach to keto can support your health goals!
