Be Well by Kelly Leveque

Today's guest is my friend Maya Feller, a Brooklyn-based RD who graduated from New York University. Maya's always been absolutely approachable and real food-based. You can find her on TV shows like Good Morning America as her private practice provides medical nutrition therapy and nutrition coaching for the management of, and the risk reduction of, non-communicable diseases.She's also the author of a fantastic new book called Eating From Our Roots, which is where we spend most of our time today. It was released on January 24th of this year and features over eighty global recipes to take you through the heritage of cooking and how healthy food can look (and taste) wildly different for different people in different places.Backed by Goop Press, Maya’s powerful message of accessibility and education sets her apart in a general health-food conversation that gets noisier every day.Her commitment to meeting people where they are promises a seat at the table for so many who’ve gone without one – I so respect and revere her work and community impact. It's a joy to welcome Maya to the Be Well By Kelly podcast today.We also cover…00:04:52 — Maya’s Path to Community Nutrition Bonding over a shared mission to make healthy food relevant and accessible Dabbling in theater and philosophy on her way to study nutrition at NYUInspired to study the science of hydration while training for the Boston MarathonWorking with a marginalized and disenfranchised populationServing for access vs. privilege Maya’s powerful lessons from working in the community Learning by listening to her patients’ needs 00:19:34 — Eating From Our RootsEating from Our Roots (Goop Press)Early inspirations and ideas for the bookCulture, history, race, and ethnicity through the lens of foodExpanding your family’s palette with worldly foods and flavorsWorking with Chef Silvia BarbanRoadblocks of recipe testing during the pandemicIntentional use of additives and natural sweeteners00:32:52 — Recipe Modifications for Health Conditions & AccessibilityLevels CGMMoving away from an all-or-nothing approachCreating sustainable shifts to fit individual needsHaving the ability to personalize Eating From our Roots recipesAt-home tips for elevating limited-access eatingRemoving shame from the conversation00:41:05 —Healthy Eating At Home with MayaBe sure to check out the seafood in Eating From Our RootsBreakfast yogurt hacks Prioritizing family & home cooked mealsEating the (seasonal) rainbowOne golden rule at Maya’s house – season everything!00:54:36 — Simplifying Health with The Daily 5 Daily 5: water, fruit, veg, protein, and sleepRestoring the mind in nature Kelly shares her sleep-deprived journey to 6-phase meditationMaya’s moving meditation + love for the outdoorsRunning the parks of NYCResources:Read: Eating from Our Roots: 80+ Healthy Home-Cooked Favorites from Cultures Around the World: A Cookbook (Goop Press)Website: mayafellernutrition.comInstagram: @mayafellerrdConnect with Kelly:kellyleveque.comInstagram: @bewellbykellyFacebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykellyBe Well By Kelly is produced by Crate Media.Mentioned in this episode:Cozy Earth | Get 35% off sitewide when you use the code 'BEWELL' at CozyEarth.com.BWBK Protein Powder | Get $10 off your order with PODCAST10 at bewellbykelly.com.

Today's guest is known as The Spa Doctor and she was the first licensed female naturopathic doctor in California. She’s also the author of two literary standbys in the natural health space, especially as it relates to skin care: Natural Beauty Reset and Clean Skin from Within. It’s an honor to have the esteemed Dr. Trevor Cates on the show today.After years of struggling with skin problems and imbalanced hormones in her teen years, Dr. Cates decided to pursue a career in natural medicine to educate the masses on the intersection between hormones and healthy skin. This led her to Utah, where she’s applied her refined skills and expertise in renowned hotels like the Waldorf Astoria and the St. Regis.Specializing in hormone balance and a holistic approach to skincare, she’s built a practice teaching clients and patients how to support healthy skin through research-backed diet, lifestyle, and product choices – an ethos which forms the basis of our hyper-informative conversation today.We also cover…00:02:10 — Dr. Trevor’s Path to Natural MedicineDealing with the physical and psychological impact of skin issues as a childChanging her college path to focus on natural medicine Becoming the Spa Doctor in UtahSide effects of antihistamine medications Her first experience with a (female) naturopathic doctorImportance of getting to the root cause00:14:46 — How Seasons & Sun Impact Skin HealthHow our skin care needs change with the seasonsThe role the sun plays in our mood, hormones, skin, and sleepSunscreen vs. healthy sun exposureCovering hands, face, and neck – even when drivingHarmful chemical sunscreen ingredients & her zinc-based recommendations00:27:49 —  Redefining ‘Clean’ and ‘Natural’ Skincare Plant oils vs. petroleum-based mineral oils Supporting the skin’s natural acidity, barrier oils, and microorganismsWhat to look for (and avoid) in your skincare productsExpiration dates for skin care products & identifying rancid oilsStandard two-year shelf life on Spa Doctor skin care productsEssential oils, oxidation, and photosensitization Credo Beauty and The Detox MarketImportance of testing the pH value in skin care product 00:40:30 — Supporting a Healthy Skin MicrobiomeImportance of testing the pH value in skin care product The two biggest skin care mistakes Most cleansers are stripping your skinSwitching from high-Ph cleansers to oil-basedSimplifying your skincare routineExfoliation 101: Finding balance with natural cell turnover00:49:57 — Clearing Up Acne From the Inside OutHormonal changes and gut microbiome as key influences Acne is an inflammatory skin conditionWhat to avoid & what to add to your diet to treat acne from withinAdult acne – what’s happening?How our lifestyle impacts our hormones Natural Beauty Reset and Clean Skin from Within Resources:Read: Natural Beauty Reset by Dr. Trevor CatesRead: Clean Skin from Within by Dr. Trevor CatesPodcast: The Spa Dr.Schedule an Appointment: drtrevorcates.comThe Spa Doctor: thespadr.comInstagram: @thespadrYouTube: The Spa Dr.Connect with Kelly:kellyleveque.comInstagram: @bewellbykellyFacebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykellyBe Well By Kelly is produced by Crate Media.Mentioned in this episode:BonCharge | Go to boncharge.com/kelly to save 20% on their red light devices.BWBK Protein Powder | Get $10 off your order with PODCAST10 at bewellbykelly.com.Cozy Earth | Get 35% off sitewide when you use the code 'BEWELL' at CozyEarth.com.

Today's guest is Dr. Thomas Hemingway. He is a holistic and integrative medical doctor, but like so many guests on this show, he didn't start that way. He worked for two decades in ER medicine before making the move to integrative practices that we discuss  today.With so much first-hand experience with chronic illness, he committed himself and his career to finding ways to prevent them. And as of February, he has a new book on the shelves that does just that, PREVENTABLE: 5 Powerful Practices To Avoid Disease And Build Unshakeable Health. We unpack those five powerful practices – Food, Movement, Sleep, Gut Health, and Stress – and apply them to family life, the imperfect, impatient, always-something-new lifestyle that keeps parents of young children like us on the lookout for practical, easily applicable advice wherever we can get it.As you’ll hear in this one, Dr. Thomas Hemingway is full of energy and you can be too.I love the motivation and hope that Dr. Hemingway shares with our community today. There's a lot of doomsday talk with an increase in obesity, heart disease, diabetes, chronic lifestyle diseases, and the like – but every day is a fresh new start, an opportunity to start a new healthy habit and get back on track to a full and vibrant life.We also cover…00:02:50 — Dr. Hemingway’s Path to Integrative MedicineGraduating top-of-class from UCSD’s MD programBeing inspired by Doogie Howser and ERSeeing a rise in sick young people Leaning into the preventative side of healthCDC’s latest troubling guidelines on child obesity 00:10:46 — Powerful Food & Diet Practices To Prevent DiseaseBenefit of adding vs. subtracting things from our dietMaking healthy food choices around the worldCorn, wheat, soy, and rice = 60% of plant-based food3 things to avoid in your diet (sugar, seed oils, and processed grains)Make it easy – try one new food a weekTips for intuitive eating for the family Kelly gives a look into her kids-in-the-kitchen dynamic at home00:26:02 — Benefits of Mindful Movement & SleepWalking after meals and blood sugar monitoring Staying active without a gymSitting is the new smokingUnderstanding sleep and the human brain (glymphatic system)How natural sunlight resets our circadian rhythm Avoiding screen time before bedBest practices for a good’s night sleep00:43:41 — Balancing Your Gut Health & Managing Stress60% of our immune system lives in the gutSupporting gut bacteria with fiber and fermented foods 2012 stress study with 180,000 subjects Stress, perception, and resilience Tips and tools for optimizing stress Teaching kids that stress is normal and healthy ways to copeSimplify your miracle morning routineResources:Read: PREVENTABLE: 5 Powerful Practices To Avoid Disease And Build Unshakeable HealthWebsite: thomashemingway.comInstagram: @drthomashemingwayPodcast: Unshakeable Health with Thomas Hemingway, M.D.Courses: Health Optimization Courses Kids Knives: Kid’s Safe Plastic KnivesKitchen Tower: KidzWerks Child Standing TowerConnect with Kelly:kellyleveque.comInstagram: @bewellbykellyFacebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykellyBe Well By Kelly is produced by Crate Media.Mentioned in this episode:LMNT | Go to DrinkLMNT.com/Kelly to order a free sample pack of LMNT electrolytes.

My guest today is Dr. Terry Wahls, a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa where she conducts clinical trials testing the effect of therapeutic diet and lifestyle to treat MS and related symptoms.

In this deeply moving and informational conversation, Dr. Wahls shares stark first-person memories from the painful early stages of her healing journey, details the nutrient-dense diet that changed everything, and looks into the future of MS treatment – spotlighting the important role that nutrition has to play in it all.If you have MS, or know someone who does, I definitely recommend her book, The Wahls Protocol: How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles & Functional Medicine, where she details her story at length.We also cover…00:03:12 — Early Symptoms & MS DiagnosisInto the experience – Dr. Wahls details her diagnosisPrioritizing mitochondria health with supplements  Developing a custom Paleo-inspired dietGoing from a tilt recline wheelchair to completing an 18.5m bike ride Realizing that recovery was possible00:11:34 — Exploring Different Treatments for MS Background on MS discovery in the 1800sMS in the brain – rapid decline usually seen between 45 and 50Supporting your body through MS with nutrient-dense foodsInspired by Loren Cordain’s workBreaking 20 years as a vegetarian 00:16:52 — Healing Through Nutrition Which nutrients Dr. Wahls chased in her custom dietBenefits of a meditation practice Switching to organic ingredients Why she relied so heavily on leafy greens and liverHow her diet  evolved throughout her healing journey Leveraging healthy fasting strategies Eating every other day – what, why, and how?00:31:18 — Forging a New Path & Sharing Her MessageRunning the research to make her protocol official in 2010Being threatened with loss of her medical license Working up to 26 scientific peer reviewed MS-related publicationsEfficacy of Diet on Fatigue and Quality of Life in Multiple SclerosisLifestyle changes vs. medication Treatment recommendations based on # of brain lesions Remyelination online coursesJoin Dr. Wahl’s research study on quality of life Resources:Website: terrywahls.comCourses: Remyelination WorkshopsResearch: Dr. Wahl’s MS research studyInstagram: @drterrywahlsRead: The Wahls Protocol: How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles & Functional MedicineYouTube: Terry Wahls M.D.Connect with Kelly:kellyleveque.comInstagram: @bewellbykellyFacebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykellyBe Well By Kelly is produced by Crate Media.Mentioned in this episode:BWBK Protein Powder | Get $10 off your order with PODCAST10 at bewellbykelly.com.Cozy Earth | Get 35% off sitewide when you use the code 'BEWELL' at CozyEarth.com.

You all know I’m a big supporter of healthy, ethically raised animal proteins – and today we get another serving of the good stuff.Today's guest is Farmer Paul Grieve. Paul is the founder of Pasturebird, the largest pasture-raised chicken operation in the world, focused on making true pasture-raised, nutrient-dense chicken, more accessible and affordable to you and me.Paul never set out to be a farmer. His journey began after contracting Lyme disease from a tick bite during his marine corps training, a seemingly innocuous event that would shape the rest of his life. Going Paleo as a means to treat his symptoms, he identified a glaring gap in the market for natural, pasture-raised chicken – especially in Southern California.Soon, his backyard-based business maintained wholesale accounts with both the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dodgers. He was onto something big, and hasn’t slowed down since.I'm so inspired by Paul, his wife Lynsey, the community they've created, and all the good they're putting into this world. It's such a pleasure to introduce you to Pasturebird in the hopes that this knowledge empowers you with a better way of taking care of your family, and the planet as well.We also cover…00:02:55 — Catching Up With Farmer Paul GrieveReliving happy memories at Pasturebird’s farmRemaking the land from 50 years of soil depletion  A surprising shift from the marines to farmingContracting Lyme disease from a tick bite and his resulting symptoms How Paleo changed his outlook on health and nutrition Identifying a gap in the market for pasture-raised chickenThe 50 tiny baby chicks that started it allCreating Pasturebird and Primal Pastures thanks to the help of Joel Salatin 00:13:45 – Paul’s Shift in Diet & Mindset around Nutrient-Dense Food Paul’s delicious local diet as a Marine in IraqAmerica’s lack of nutrient-dense foods and recommendations Indigenous wisdom around regenerative farmingInspired by the work of Joel SalatinSoil quality over the generationsRoaming vs. stationary livestockKiss The Ground (film)Harms of monocropping and factory farming00:24:34 — Scaling A Regenerative FarmMission to be widely available and affordable Pasturebird is at Sprouts!The key to scaling an eco-friendly chicken business Welcoming technological solutions to inefficiency problems Inventing the Automated Range Coop to support 6,000 chickens00:35:10 – How Healthy Soil Grows Healthy FoodAllowing chickens to forage on pesticide-free landBugs, not drugs – raising clean poultryThe ‘flaws’ in a conventional chicken operationFind Real Chicken Near YouCarbon sequestration in plants, water infiltration, & biodiversity from regenerative farmingSupporting an evolving ecosystem with the reintegration of crops and animalsReimagining and reinventing the future of our food system00:57:54 — Paul’s Health & Home HacksPaleo-forward family diet Education pods and garage learning for their kidsLiving amongst a large family support systemEnrichment from traveling the worldPaving his own path and doing hard things Resources:Shop: Pasturebird is at Sprouts!Website: pasturebird.comInstagram: @farmerpaulgPasturebird: @pasturebirdPrimal Pastures: primalpastures.comReal Chicken Near You: getrealchicken.comConnect with Kelly:kellyleveque.comInstagram: @bewellbykellyFacebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykellyBe Well By Kelly is produced by Crate Media.Mentioned in this episode:LMNT | Go to DrinkLMNT.com/Kelly to order a free sample pack of LMNT electrolytes.
