The Gutsy Health Podcast

Show Summary: "Every substance has an impact on our brain, body, and our mind. If you overeat sugar, your mood does something, and if you have too many stimulants like coffee, your mind does something." 

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression are now experienced by more people, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Contracting the disease or having the pain of losing loved ones from it triggers these on people. These can be debilitating and cause people to feel powerless, unmotivated, and worthless. 

So today, we are lucky to have Dr. Michael Sapiro, a clinical psychologist, psychedelic-assisted therapist, Dharma teacher, meditation researcher specializing in utilizing therapies and modalities, who helps retrain the brain and heal people from these psychological problems.

Dr. Sapiro shares how Ketamine can be used for therapy in helping people deal with these psychological problems. Listen as he walks us...

Show Summary: "Healing doesn't happen overnight. And the stress around your Healing could be more detrimental than the toxins that you're exposing yourself to."

Contrary to popular belief, maintaining good health habits is not as expensive as you think. We have to keep things simple, and we just have to go back to basics. 

So for this episode, we have our frequent flier once again, Ryan Blaser of Test my Home, discuss the different life aspects that we should always keep in check for us to stay in good shape. Holistic Healing is not just about exercise and food; it also includes the environment and mindset.

We do not have to follow complicated procedures to be healthy, and we just have to learn essential habits. We do not have to pressure ourselves into doing things that are hard for us to accomplish. We have to be comfortable with our bodies, love what we do, and always choose joy. 

Listen to our sharing as good friends and pick...

Show Summary: "With hyperbaric oxygen therapy, it's not just about healing wounds. It gives you cellular energy to have more physical energy." 

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a treatment for several severe conditions that make you breathe 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber. The pressure helps the body absorb oxygen and hyperoxygenates blood plasma, which then helps fight bacteria and promotes healing. It is a powerful yet underutilized therapy that is unknown to many. 

That's why we are lucky to have with us in this episode a powerful woman with whom I share a love for HBOT. A sponsored triathlete and an ambulance EMT, she was bound for a career in law enforcement. A torn shoulder from a wrestling match paved the way for her to discover the power of HBOT by how it had helped her heal faster.  

So today, Alex Williams of The Holistic Hyperbarics Wellness Clinic will discuss her advocacy for HBOT and her mission of making this therapy more...

Show Summary: "Sleep is when our bodies are taking a break. It's healing. It's repairing. It's resting. It's getting you ready for the next day. "

Today, we tackle two topics for today's episode with our good friend, Ryan Blaser of Test My Home. Ryan is an electrical engineer who specializes in the health hazards of the environment. He helps people protect and reclaim their health by eliminating the dangers of EMF or Electric & Magnetic Fields from their homes and workplace. 

Exposure to EMF radiation can have adverse effects on our health, such as headaches, body pains, and anxiety. Constant use of our digital devices exposes us to EMF radiation. Many people believe they protect themselves by using harmonizers to block EMF exposure. And in this episode, we find out if that belief is true or false.

We spend of our entire lives sleeping, and we should honor this daily activity, which is an essential aspect of good health. Ryan explains what...

Show Summary: "To people who are chronic headache sufferers, believe in your healing. Don't just give up hope and feel like you have to live like this." 

Are you one of the many people who suffer from chronic headaches and constant migraine? They are so persistent that you accept them as a part of your life, no matter how debilitating and frustrating they are. Even your family and coworkers see it as something normal to you, and you start to believe that it will never go away.

Taking pills like candies or rubbing balms on your forehead can definitely soothe you. But it doesn't address the root cause. That's why in this episode, we help you identify the underlying causes of chronic headaches and constant migraine with Dr. Meg Mill, a functional medicine practitioner who helps people restore mental clarity and reclaim energy without drugs or injections. 

Listen carefully as Dr. Meg shares actionable tips and inexpensive tools you can use to start...

Show Summary: "You can't force children to eat anything, but you can choose what foods are being put in front of them."

Teaching children how to eat healthy food is a challenge for parents of every generation. And today, we are exposed to more and more junk food, making us lose our healthy boundaries with our kids. We succumb to whatever they want to eat, which leads to long-term ramifications, like getting sick or getting different kinds of autoimmune diseases at significantly younger ages. 

So today, we have Mariah Sage, a family coach who helps families set up systems that support their dynamics to create more ease and flow in the family unit. She helps families honor, navigate, and understand each other gently. Her goal is to help parents teach and train their children to make healthy food choices at the earliest age possible.

Today's episode unpack frequently asked questions and correct the numerous misinformation about probiotics, gut health, and gut flora with our special guest Kiran Krishnan. Kiran is the co-founder and chief scientific officer of Microbiome Labs, and he is a frequent lecturer on the human microbiome at health and nutrition conferences.

However, the misinformation about the symbiotic relationship of these...

Show Summary: “If you're dealing with infertility, you probably have some form of PTSD, and you got to take care of yourself. You got to see where your triggers are.”

In this episode, we're so happy to share with you the story of Katie Vaal, a member of the Gutsy Health Program who is now on her way to being a self-healing champion. Katie had infertility and the early signs started when she was young. When she had her first period, the bleeding didn't stop, and she thought it was normal. Together with her mom, they visited an OBGYN, and the solution given to her was to go on birth control to help regulate her period.

Katie was on birth control for 13 years. And when she got married, she decided to stop it, which prevented her from having a period, resulting in no pregnancy.

Episode 99: Gutsy Health Podcast 

Show Summary: “Every cell in your body has fat, your nerves, and brain. Your brain is 60% fat; that's why fat is crucial for everything.”

Cholesterol is the backbone you need to make all of your sex hormones. Every cell in your body has a phospholipid membrane that is made up of fat. That's why fats are so healthy and essential. But many started to fear consuming fats because of the epidemiological research done by Ancel Keys back in the 50s and 60s that demonized fats and said people who eat high fat die younger. But sadly, epidemiological studies are unreliable.

People who take their vitamins on an empty stomach in the morning do not absorb vitamins A, D, E, and K without fats. Fat-soluble vitamins are delivered to damaged tissues in your body to heal & repair and to have healthy neural tissue and brain function. This is why lower total cholesterol...
