A hair mineral analysis is an incredibly powerful tool in revealing your heavy metal toxicities, mineral deficiencies, adrenal and thyroid function and so much more. A hair mineral analysis is the basis upon which a customized Nutritional Balancing program is designed. This is one of the best programs I have encountered to recover your health, energy and vitality. The hair is tested because it is one of many places the body dumps excess minerals and heavy metals for storage away from vital organs. The amounts of minerals deposited in the hair reveal all kinds of things about your body chemistry. Get your own personalized Nutritional balancing program designed today!

Liz Wolfe of Realfoodliz.com talks to Leigh and Wendy about her new book, Eat the Yolks, a hilarious take on eating real food that bashes many health myths pervading our food culture. She is also cohosts one of the top ten health podcasts on iTunes and one of my favorites, the Balanced Bites Podcast.  Transcript Click here to view the full transcript for #48 Why you need to eat the yolks with Liz Wolfe. About Liz Wolfe Liz Wolfe, of Realfoodliz.com, is a Real Food lover, an amateur homesteader, a natural skincare enthusiast, and a published author. Most importantly, she's got goats. Liz is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) certified by the Nutritional Therapy Association. She co-hosts the top-rated Balanced Bites podcast. She has a regular column in Paleo Magazine. She wrote the Skintervention Guide, based around her experiences healing longstanding skin issues. She's a city gal who went from CrossFit n’ Paleo to Farm Fit n’ homesteading. After spending 4 years in New Jersey, Liz, the Husband and the Pooch moved “back home” to a 15-acre homestead in the midwest. They’ve got goats, chickens, guinea fowl, stray puppies, and lots of crazy wildlife, and soon, 2 hogs. She and her husband are trying to be more sustainable and less stressed, and we’re working on producing as much of their own Real Food as possible. Her New Book! Worry about cholesterol. Avoid red meat. Eat whole grains. Could it all be a lie? We live in an era of health hype and nutrition propaganda, and we’re suffering for it. Decades of avoiding egg yolks, choosing margarine over butter, and replacing the real foods of our ancestors with low-fat, processed, packaged substitutes have left us with an obesity epidemic, ever-rising rates of chronic disease, and, above all, total confusion about what to eat and why.This is a tragedy of misinformation, food industry shenanigans, and cheap calories disguised as health food. It turns out that everything we’ve been told about how to eat is wrong. Fat and cholesterol are harmful to your health? Nope—they are crucial to your health. “Whole grains” are health food? Not even close. Counting calories is the way to lose weight? Not gonna work—nutrients are what matter. Nutrition can come from a box, bag, or capsule? Don’t count on it! In Eat the Yolks, Liz Wolfe debunks all these myths and more, revealing what’s behind the lies and bringing the truth about fat, cholesterol, protein, and carbs to light. You’ll be amazed at the tall tales we’ve been told in the name of “healthy eating.” With wit and grace, Wolfe makes a compelling argument for a diet based on Paleo foods. She takes us back to the foods of our ancestors, combining the lessons of history with those of modern science to uncover why real, whole food—the kind humans ate for thousands of years before modern nutrition dogma led us astray—holds the key to amazing health and happy taste buds. In Eat the Yolks, Liz Wolfe doesn’t just make a case for eating the whole egg. She uncovers the shocking lies we’ve been told about fat, cholesterol, protein, carbs, and calories and brings us the truth about which foods are healthy—and which foods are really harming us. You’ll learn truths like: fat and cholesterol are crucial, not harmful . . . and why - “whole grains” are processed foods . . . and what to eat instead . . .counting calories is a waste of energy and what we actually should be tracking. . . all animal products are not created equal and which ones we truly need . . . nutrition doesn’t come in a box, bag, or capsule . . . and why there’s no substitute for real food! Her Old Book Countless people around the world struggle with skin and body issues of all kinds: acne, eczema, psoriasis, scarring, weak hair and nails, and – most importantly – frustration with commercial products filled with unnecessary, harsh chemicals. Not to mention the confusing territory of dealing with cellulite, anti-aging strategies, intimate care, Are toxic metals causing your fatigue and health issues?

In 1960, Roy began America’s very first call in show for personal and spiritual guidance called “Advice Line”. Still on the air today, it is broadcast nationwide on 190 radio stations and on the internet. He has written 16 acclaimed books and produced numerous meditation CD’s.

Benefits of Meditation Better Focus Because meditation is a practice in focusing our attention and being aware of when it drifts, this actually improves our focus when we’re not meditating, as well. It’s a lasting effect that comes from regular bouts of meditation. Less Anxiety This point is pretty technical, but it’s really interesting. The more we meditate, the less anxiety we have, and it turns out this is because we're actually loosening the connections of particular neural pathways. What happens without meditation is that there’s a section of our brains that’s sometimes called the Me Center (it’s technically the medial prefrontal cortex). This is the part that processes information relating to ourselves and our experiences. Normally the neural pathways from the bodily sensation and fear centers of the brain to the Me Center are really strong. When you experience a scary or upsetting sensation, it triggers a strong reaction in your Me Center, making you feel scared and under attack. When we meditate, we weaken this neural connection. This means that we don’t react as strongly to sensations that might have once lit up our Me Centers. As we weaken this connection, we simultaneously strengthen the connection between what’s known as our Assessment Center (the part of our brains known for reasoning) and our bodily sensation and fear centers. So when we experience scary or upsetting sensations, we can more easily look at them rationally. For example, when you experience pain, rather than becoming anxious and assuming it means something is wrong with you, you can watch the pain rise and fall without becoming ensnared in a story about what it might mean. Better Memory One of the things meditation has been linked to is improving rapid memory recall. Catherine Kerr, a researcher at the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging and the Osher Research Center found that people who practiced mindful meditation were able to adjust the brain wave that screens out distractions and increase their productivitymore quickly that those that did not meditate. She said that this ability to ignore distractions could explain “their superior ability to rapidly remember and incorporate new facts.” This seems to be very similar to the power of being exposed to new situations that will also dramatically improve our memory of things. Less Stress Mindful meditation has been shown to help people perform under pressure while feeling less stressed. A 2012 study split a group of human resources managers into three, which one third participating in mindful meditation training, Are toxic metals causing your fatigue and health issues?

Transcript Click here to view the full transcript for #44 College Primal Challenge with Monica Bravo. College Primal Challenge So many young people surprised Monica with their interest and fascination in the Paleo diet. Many said, “I’d love to start eating that way, but I wouldn’t know where to start.” And simple as that, she started her blog BravoforPaleo.com. Then she found it wasn’t quite enough; people need rules and they need motivation to succeed! That’s why she created the College Primal Challenge eBook. What’s included in the eBook? The Stop Light Grading System What to Eat, What Not to Eat (The Guidelines) Eating at the School Food Court Eating at the School Cafeteria The 411 on ALCOHOL 5 Breakfast Recipes 5 Lunch Recipes 5 Dinner Recipes 5 Microwave Meals Snack Ideas AND 30 days of motivational emails About Monica Bravo Hi, I’m Monica Bravo! Nice to “Meat” You. I’m from a small town called Covington, Louisiana. I am currently a student at LSU in the Honors College with a Biochemistry major and Anthropology and Business minors. I enjoy cooking, hiking, ballet, snow skiing, traveling, spending time with family and friends, and am also part of Phi Mu Sorority at LSU. The Paleo Diet became my interest within the past two years and I have been hooked on nutrition and health ever since. My plans are to become a doctor and treat patients holistically using food as the greatest form of medicine. I created Bravoforpaleo.com to help other people make a commitment to their health and understand the oldest diet known to man –  the diet of our ancestors. I believe our food can be the most powerful form of healing, and I believe our bodies were meant to move. I have been a ballerina my whole life and have recently found new forms of exercise that I’ve come to love like lifting weights, interval training, yoga, lots of walking, zumba, or whatever exercise I’m in the mood for. My goal for my website is to change people’s lives by changing their relationship with food, body movement, and their attitudes.

Jonathon Bailor of Thesmarterscienceofslim.com talks to Leigh and I about his new book, The Calorie Myth. We are going to discuss his theory that you can eat more and exercise less and still lose weight. Jonathon studied thousands of pages of academic research on weight loss over the last decade and will be sharing his expertise today on the show. Transcript Click here to view the full transcript for #43 The Calorie Myth with Jonathan Bailor. As Bailor proves, when you eat more of the right foods – whole plants and nutritious proteins (think Paleo) – your body will find its normal “set point” weight by automatically balancing calories in and calories out. Eat the right foods and your weight will settle into the weight you are genetically destined to have. Eat as recommended in his SANE program and let the cards fall where they may. Hopefully, the end result will be your pants falling off your skinny hips where they may – on the floor. The Calorie Myth shows us how exercising less – but at a higher intensity – is actually the key to burning fat, balancing hormones, boosting metabolism, and creating long-term weight loss. Bailor offers readers a step-by-step action plan, including a food plan and simple recipes based on non-starchy vegetables, proteins, fruits, and nuts and seeds and a detailed exercise program that requires a commitment of just 10-20 minutes per week! About Jonathan Bailor Jonathon Bailor, is an accomplished inventor, entrepreneur, philanthropist, researcher, author and public speaker. He holds more than 25 U.S. patents, invented the marqee feature in Microsoft Office 2010. He has started two successful companies and the non-profit nutrition education effort SlimIsSimple.org. He hosts a top ranked iTunes health and fitness podcast fittingly called The Calorie Myth. His first book, The Smarter Science of Slim, was endorsed by top doctors at the Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins, and UCLA.
