Dr. Saman Faramarzi, a naturopathic doctor, discusses various topics including detoxing mold and parasites, leaky gut, Chinese medicine, hormone health, food sensitivities, stool tests, and cortisol. She emphasizes the importance of a healthy gut and liver, microbiome diversity, and proper detoxification. She also shares simple tips for improving health and happiness. Additionally, she addresses the principles of Chinese medicine, the gut-brain connection, hormone imbalances, and the controversy surrounding food sensitivity tests.

Ep. #34On this week’s episode, I’m thrilled to have my good friend Alyssa Lynch join me on the show. Alyssa is a former actress turned wellness enthusiast with a focus around health, mindfulness, and spiritual practices. Alyssa and I actually first recorded back in November, but so much has happened in her life that I wanted to have her back on to address this pivotal transitional moment, and we get into all the juicy details - many of which she’s addressing publicly for the first time. We talk her breakup and the aftermath, her healing process, learning you can’t fix someone, hormone health/gaining healthy weight, masculine vs. feminine era, living a bright and fun life, *those* spicy rumors, what she’ll look for in a future partner, if her DMs are really open to the ladies, and so much more. Loved this girlfriend chat and welcoming Alyssa into her new feminine era - will definitely be having her on for more!For Mari’s Instagram click here!For Pursuit of Wellness Podcast’s Instagram click here!For Alyssa’s Instagram click here!To shop Bloom Nutrition Greens click here! To download Mari’s workout plan & recipes click here!Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

Ep. #33Today on the show we have an amazing guest, Thomas Delauer. Thomas is an American author, health expert, YouTube star, and performance coach best known for his work on personal health transformation. Like me, Thomas went through a radical transformation and lost 110 pounds, but learned just as much about his own mental health alongside his physical journey to overcome unhealthy habits and thought patterns. Today, he helps clients around the world transform their lifestyles and I was inspired by our motivational conversation. In this episode, we discuss eating disorder development in kids, body dysmorphia and mental health, OCD & obsessive thinking as an adult, when exercise can become self-harm, shame around food, Thomas’s rock-bottom story, intermittent fasting for women and men, keto diet, misconceptions about food and fitness, prioritizing muscle gain while being diet conscious, potential effects of gluten and dairy on autoimmune conditions, and so much more.For Mari’s Instagram click here!For Pursuit of Wellness Podcast’s Instagram click here!For Thomas’s Instagram click here!For Thomas’s Youtube click here!To shop Bloom Nutrition Greens click here! To download Mari’s workout plan & recipes click here!Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

Ep. #30Today on the show I had an incredible conversation with Paul Saladino MD, one of the leading experts and authorities on the science and application of the animal-based diet. We covered so many valuable topics, specifically for women, that we plan to release the interview in two parts. Dr. Saladino is board certified as a physician nutrition specialist and completed residency at the University of Washington. He attended medical school at the University of Arizona where he focused on integrative medicine and nutritional biochemistry. He has used these diets to reverse autoimmune issues, chronic inflammation and mental health issues in hundreds of patients, many of whom had been told their conditions were untreatable. In this episode, we discuss the importance of food quality, what western medicine doesn’t teach us about nutrition, the connection to plants and autoimmune issues, healing skin issues, benefits of creatine and animal protein, ethical farming, the problem with oats and coffee, SIBO and the gut, why raw dairy, and much more. This conversation can serve as educational regardless of your diet preferences and discusses how anyone can have access to making better consumption choices.

Ep. #27Today on the show we are joined by my friend Neeloo Fathi, who has an incredibly inspiring story of survival and perseverance after suffering a horrific accident in 2017 that forever altered the course of her life. After months of physical and mental challenges during her healing journey, Neeloo emerged from the experience with a new perspective on what values she prioritized to create a life worth living when tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. On this episode, we discuss the physical and mental impacts of her accident, overcoming trauma, changing her relationship with alcohol, embracing her immigrant roots, microdosing & anxiety, her Ayuahsca experience, the joys of solo travel and tips for women who want to travel alone, and so much more. I was so inspired by her story and think there are so many takeaways for anyone listening that is working to overcome trauma and rebuild their optimal life.For Mari’s Instagram click here!For Pursuit of Wellness Podcast’s Instagram click here!For Neeloo’s Instagram click here!For Neeloo’s podcast Order in Chaos click here!To shop Bloom Nutrition Greens click here! To download Mari’s workout plan & recipes click here!Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
