The Gutsy Health Podcast

Show Summary: “We want to prevent Osteopenia and Osteoporosis. It’s easier to slow down and prevent bone loss than to build what’s lost.”

Osteoporosis is commonly known to affect only women in their forties to sixties, but did you know that it could start at an earlier age? 

Studies have shown that approximately 10 million Americans have Osteoporosis, and not only women but men can also suffer from it. It also shows that one in two women and one in four men will break a bone in their lifetime because of low bone density.

Oftentimes, we hear about this condition when people have already been diagnosed and are suffering - only then do they start taking medications, and supplements, and changing their diet and exercise. But it shouldn’t be the only way. And believe us when we say that there are lots of different ways we can prevent Osteoporosis from happening.

**********Trigger warning: Cancer story and suicide ideation.**********

It’s been a year since Tristin's passing, and Juanique is here with us today to share her journey that spans over five years.

It all started when she was 28 years old and 20 weeks into her pregnancy when the world seemed to have stopped revolving the moment they found out that her husband was diagnosed with stage 4 Lung Cancer. 

Throughout those years, she has been nothing but a solid support system for Tristin, her children, and her friends. She carried all the emotional and psychological weight of the situation while refusing to show vulnerability. Not for selfish reasons, but to continue taking care of everyone around her. 

As a trauma...

Show Summary: “Eating healthy: let’s pop the myth that it’s expensive and hard. Inexpensive healthy meals can be done right with proper skills and knowledge.”

Healthy habits can begin with the food that we eat. And sometimes, we’re daunted by the tremendous amount of tasks before us just to achieve our health goals.

What kind of food should we buy? Where can we access inexpensive organic fruits and vegetables? Are healthy meals complicated to make?

One way or another, we’ve asked ourselves these questions many times, and more often than not, these questions can be intimidating - and then we start to doubt ourselves.

Worry not! Episode 28 of the Gutsy Health Podcast is here to lay down all the recommendations for you to become a meal planning Pro. And it doesn’t have to be tricky. It doesn’t take a lot of work either. You don’t necessarily have to be a Michelin Star chef to create sumptuous...

Show Summary: “Energy moves through us. Just because we feel certain emotions doesn’t mean it’s us.”

Oftentimes our thoughts create our emotions. And our emotions lead to our moods. And when we put these moods on repeat long enough, we feel like we are stuck in an endless loop and they eventually become our identity. That’s how powerful our mind is.

Everything begins in our minds and our healing journey starts with it as well. Mindset is always number one.

In this week’s episode, we welcome back one of our fantastic frequent flyers in the Gutsy Health Podcast, Britt Lefkoe, to talk about the relationship between our mind and body, and how our mindset is tied to the energy and emotions that flow through us. 

Britt is an exceptional mindset coach. We’ve worked with her in the Gutsy Health Academy and I have personally witnessed her brilliance when it comes to personal development.

Show Summary: “Good oral health is good gut health.”

How often do we consider the relationship between our oral health and gut health? Turns out, that lots of our oral activities affect the nature of our gut health – from brushing our teeth, flossing, and even the kind of food that we eat.

There are also many things to take into consideration: what should we be looking for when it comes to dental products? Are we protected enough? How can we take care of our oral and gut health while being mindful of the impact of these products on our environment?

In this week’s episode, we are joined by our special guest Dr. Jim Ellis, an amazing dentist in Ogden and owner of The Oral Care Club. He shares with us the different chemicals to look out for that are harmful to our teeth, good habits that nourish our oral environment, and the difference between cleaning our teeth versus creating good oral health.

We were also able to talk about the features of his...

Show Summary: “The body has all the mechanisms necessary to heal itself. “

As you embark on your healthy lifestyle goals, you first need to learn how to heal. So, how do you heal to recognize the significance of what health means?

Complete healing is a process, and we created the Order of Healing so you can easily absorb the essence and importance of each step and how these steps are interconnected. 

This series introduces the first and second steps in the order of healing, Mindset, and Mitochondria. 

Mindset is number one over anything. It is phenomenal when you dive into the power of the mind and how it acts as a conductor of the body to create healing. You may not recognize it, but even science can prove that having subconscious thoughts of self-doubt and fear can sabotage your healing process. 

Once you have established a strong mindset, you can focus on the next step in healing, your Mitochondria. If you...

Show Summary: "Healing isn't a destiny. It's a journey." 

Have you ever had Lyme disease? Or do you know someone who had it? Unfortunately, Lyme is more prevalent than we realize. And some people are not even aware that they have it. Such is the case with our guest for this episode. It took her almost fourteen years to find out that she had Lyme disease, setting aside the daily fatigue and headaches she was experiencing. 

So today, one of my golden babies, Ashley Church, who is now one of our private coaches at Provo Health, is joining us for this episode. She was my note-taker before she finally graduated to become a coach. Listen as she shares her healing journey with us and affirm that healing takes time. Ashley is proof of our mission in helping everyone to be their healing champions as she advises all of you listeners to be your health advocate. 

No one cares as much about your health as you do. So be inspired by Ashley as she tells...

Show Summary: "Healing is a marathon, not a sprint."

Do you know someone who has autoimmune diseases? There are about 110 types of autoimmune diseases, and most people who have them are not aware that they have them. Checking your food intake and what foods you should avoid eating can help you heal these diseases.

We have Dr. Donna Mazolla, a.k.a Dr. Autoimmune Girl, to discuss elimination diets and autoimmune diseases with us for this episode. For someone who has had Hashimotos for several years, Donna is the perfect person who can tell us what works and what does not work with the food we eat. Plus, she is a doctor of pharmacology! She shares all she knows through her book "Immunity Food Fix." 

Donna teaches people what she has been practicing. Like us, she realized that there is a gap in health care that other medical professionals do not address that much - nutrition and lifestyle. Instead, they prescribe medication and let their patients go...

Show Summary: "Parasites can change your personality."

When was the last time you did detoxification?

When was the last time you made yourself aware of what could possibly be in the food you're eating & water you're drinking?

When was the last time you felt like you were not yourself?

If you don't know the answers to these questions, you should listen to this episode!

Imagine pulling 12-inch dead worms out of your rear end & discovering that there are many parasites inside your body! That was Dr. Jay's experience when taking Mimosa pudica seeds for cleansing. Dr. Jay Davidson is one of CellCore Biosciences and Microbe Formulas' founders that ensures patients build a strong foundation before entering periods of deeper detoxification.
