Without good digestive health, you will experience a host of uncomfortable symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, indigestion, and more. Additionally, you may also get a lack of proper nutrition from the food you eat, which can negatively impact your health and wellbeing. This is why digestive health is so important.

Show your lymph some love! Dayna Marsh joins the show today to talk about the benefits of lymphatic massage. Dayna is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and owner of Body Therapy Salt Lake, in Salt Lake City, UT. She offers in person massage therapy sessions and in person or virtual nutritional therapy services. Lymph, is like blood in that they both are liquids circulating in the body. Unlike red blood’s circular, pumped by the heart movement, lymph moves just one way: out. However, lymph has no organ pump so it’s up to individuals to help move it along. Lymph is the body’s liquid trash can. It picks up waste products formed from all the chemical reactions needed to keep people alive, ushering them out of the body. Besides the congested head, puffy eyes, and swollen ankles that signal lymphatic dysfunction, there are more signs and symptoms of lymph blockages that may not be as obvious as fluid buildup. However, they can be severe lymph-related issues just the same. These signs include: Key takeaway from this episode: If you have one or more of these signs of lymphatic blockage, you can’t eliminate toxins, and you’d benefit from supporting your lymphatic system with massage and a variety of other techniques.

“We are suffering unnecessarily because our physical bodies are out of balance.” Dr. Vora Our guest this week is Dr. Ellen Vora, a board-certified psychiatrist, acupuncturist, and yoga teacher, and she is the author of The Anatomy of Anxiety. She takes a functional medicine approach to mental health—considering the whole person and addressing imbalance at the root. Dr. Vora received her B.A. from Yale University and her M.D. from Columbia University. It’s normal to occasionally experience anxiety, such as when we’re faced with a high-stakes meeting, a stressed-out boss, or a conflict with a colleague. But according to the National Institute of Mental Health, in any given year, 19% of U.S. adults are suffering from an anxiety disorder, and 31% will deal with a disorder at least once in their lifetime. Dr. Vora explains false anxiety – avoidable anxiety, causes real suffering but can have a straight forward, physical basis. When anxious, we tend to get trapped in false or limited ways of thinking – not that the feelings we are experiencing aren’t real or valid. However, these thought patterns create a debilitating negative spiral that can take over our lives by convincing us of impending doom and further exacerbating our sense of helplessness. Dr. Vora shares her tips to learn how to translate anxious feelings into purposeful action.

It may be small, but your thyroid is a mighty organ that is responsible for many important functions that can make a huge difference in your health. Metabolism, hormones, digestion, brain, and so much more are all affected by how well (or not) the thyroid is functioning. When the thyroid is not working well, you may feel pretty miserable. Thyroid disorders are common, affecting over 20 million Americans every year, and even more common in women (1 in 8 women will have a thyroid disorder at some point in life).

“There is SO much information about food and exercise circling about, and it’s often conflicting or confusing. Perhaps you’ve tried a diet and failed, started an exercise routine and stopped, lost weight and then gained it back. I can relate because I’ve done all of those things.” Who can relate? I sure can. Our guest today is Lindsay Young a certified transformational nutrition coach and strength and conditioning coach, a business owner, a wife, and a busy mom of 3 and she has mastered the balancing act of taking care of herself and her health as well as all of her other responsibilities. By including herself in her list of priorities, she is able to easily say no to the things that don’t fit the vision she has for herself, her family, and her life. In this episode, she breaks it down for us and how we can do the same. As you know, as we age our bodies change – and what has always worked for us, might not always work – and the frustration comes from the trying to figure out the next thing that will work for us. Did you know that managing blood sugar could be the silver bullet to so many health challenges, as well as a huge obstacle for managing consistency? Lindsay explains how our blood sugar controls hormones and hunger cues and could be sabotaging your progress. If you have been in a health rut or are burnt out on striving but falling short from thriving, this episode might be just the spark of inspiration you need to look at it with a different perspective.

Home is a place that should be safe and comfortable, not the place we want to associate as a source of health issues and potential problems. However, the truth is out – your home environments could be negatively affecting you and your family’s health. Luckily, there are solutions! There are ways to minimize exposure or avoid the risk altogether. In this episode I am presenting directly from my FREE Healthy Home Guide that I created just for you. I’ve taken all of the questions I’ve heard over the years – What is Toxic Load? How can I tell if I’m (or my children/family) are being negatively affected by environmental toxins? Where/How do I get started with cleaning up our home environment? I have been listening!!! I hear you. I know you know this is important, I know it has been in the back of your mind, on your to-do list, for quite some time. Getting started is the hardest part so I’m going to make this really easy for you. This is not a daunting task when you have your plan. Overwhelm is not even an option when you see how simply I break it down for you. You are going to feel so much better knowing that you are taking pro-active steps to clean up your home environment. It is better to be empowered with knowledge, so you can make healthier and informed decisions, than to be unaware of the risks. With each hazard, there are actions you can take to help fix the issue. You don’t have to do everything at once! A simple place to start is by choosing to commit to addressing one area of your home each month. Another way is to simply replace items with healthier and safer choices as needed – we call this the ditch and switch! I also recommend starting with the items and products you use most. These are the things you use daily or frequently, and the chemical and toxic load adds quickly. By starting here, people often see the most benefit the fastest.

She has been a leader in child sexual abuse prevention since 1985 and has educated nearly one-hundred fifty thousand schoolchildren, parents and youth professionals. Her well-regarded workshop, Parenting Safe Children, empowers adults to keep children safe from sexual assault. Feather co-authored Off Limits, a parenting book that will change the way you think about keeping children safe. It is available on her website at parentingsafechildren.com Sexual abuse of children is a difficult topic to discuss, but that is why these conversations need to take place. The manipulative behaviors perpetrators use to set children up for sexual abuse are designed to be subtle and often appear innocent. As parents, nothing is more important than the health and safety of our children. What we, many parents, don’t know or realize, is that in these unsettling situations, the perpetrators are also working the parents. Abusers will often groom a family, and not just a child.

Welcome to Real Health Conversations with Leah Williamson and Holly Jean Mullen, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners. This week on the Real Health Conversations Podcast Holly chats with guest Dr. Caroline of Native Sun Nutrition & Functional Medicine Center Dr. Caroline Williams is a Chiropractic Physician and owner of Native Sun Nutrition & Functional Medicine Center in Las Vegas. Since 2001 she has been working with patients holistically to determine the cause of dysfunction whether it be physical, mental, emotional, or chemical. Unlike supplements, photo-biomodulation (PBM), also known as phototherapy, helps the body repair cells and tissue by using a light source of a specific wavelength. This type of therapy has excellent efficacy in wound healing and pain relief. Dr. Caroline and I specifically talk about stem cells and glutathione in terms of light therapy. We talk about, how in our increasingly toxic world, it is vital to our health to ensure our bodies are properly detoxing. Glutathione is the body’s master antioxidant and primary antioxidant for detoxification. Stem cells can help to lower inflammation, regulate the immune system, and regenerate damaged or diseased tissue in your body. By allowing tissue repair and reduced inflammation, stem cell therapy can help patients to live a healthier and better quality of life.

This week on the Real Health Conversations Podcast, Holly takes a look at the spiritual aspects of fasting. People of all walks of life are rediscovering the wisdom of fasting and feasting, the circadian rhythms of nature, and tuning in to the ancestral and spiritual aspects of primal health cycles. This episode looks at fasting, specifically fasting from sugar and the so-called socially acceptable addictions – sugar and caffeine – and how those two crutches may be holding us back from the true health and spiritual transformations that many are seeking. Sugar, refined carbohydrates, ultra processed foods, and refined grains are at the root of inflammation and many disease pathways yet they are the hardest, most addictive foods to give up. Some call them addictions, others may see them as strongholds. Fasting is a powerful tool to leverage a food addiction, or an over-reliance on foods for comfort, support, and sustenance. In this episode we look at the benefits of fasting for mental function, healing rejuvenation, and increased willpower. Fasting from sugar – the source of sickness for so many – is the first step in healing your body physically and spiritually.

Welcome to Real Health Conversations with Leah Williamson and Holly Jean Mullen, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners. This week on the Real Health Conversations Podcast, Lonestar Keto Girl, Amber Wentworth, joins us to share the not-so-sweet realities of sugar addiction. Amber is a food addiction and sugar specialist with a personal health and weight-loss story that many can relate to – trying every diet program, repeatedly gaining and losing, unable to maintain weight loss, and frustrated with the entire process. Her life changed when she discovered the keto diet and sugar addiction at the root of her struggles. Just like any other addiction to caffeine or cocaine, sugar is pretty addictive in nature too. We have modern science to prove that sugar is indeed one of the strongest addictions known for humans, but how do we know if we are addicted or just having cravings? Amber shares her SUGAR assessment and shares her methods for quitting sugar for good.

Welcome to Real Health Conversations with Leah Williamson and Holly Jean Mullen, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners. This week on the Real Health Conversations Podcast Leah and Holly take on coffee and cholesterol! Is the sophisticated sexiness of French Pressed coffee worth the alleged risk of negatively impacting cholesterol levels? This real health conversation was inspired by an article in the Huffington Post that very loosely links the two by inconclusive results from a weak study. In this episode you’ll hear about why cholesterol is important and why we may not always have to be so concerned with lowering it. Cholesterol is necessary for healing and protection and not necessarily the bad guy it is made out to be. Article: Can Drinking French Press Coffee Raise Your Cholesterol?

Welcome to Real Health Conversations with Leah Williamson and Holly Jean Mullen, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners. This week on Real Health Conversations, we take a look at the policies and regulations that govern the ingredients in our food (USA). The label “FDA Approved” is believed to be synonymous with tested and safe, but is that really the case? Inspired by recent news headlines regarding a recent lawsuit against food company Mars, this episode looks deeper into the claims that Skittles candies were “unfit for human consumption” because of the presence of a “known toxin” called titanium dioxide.
