Green Living with Tee

This week Tee was delighted to welcome Dr. Terri DeNeui to the podcast for an in-depth look at how hormones affect our health. Dr. Terri DNP, ACNP, APRN-BC is the founder of EVEXIAS Health Solutions and creator of the EvexiPEL method. She leads the EVEXIAS Medical Advisory Board, hand-selecting leading experts from around the globe to support the education and knowledge resources that provide the opportunity to experience a whole new way to practice medicine that is truly transformational for patients and practitioners. Dr. Terri is a board-certified nurse practitioner, nationally renowned speaker, author, and entrepreneur. She holds advanced certifications in Hormone Replacement Therapy, Preventive Wellness Medicine, and Functional Medicine. Dr. DeNeui earned her bachelor’s degree in Nursing from Texas Woman's University, and achieved both her master’s and doctorate degrees in nursing from the University of Texas at Arlington. Her career in medicine began as a hospitalist in emergency medicine, where she quickly realized that day in and day out, the focus was on disease management instead of disease prevention. She felt saddened and frustrated—she wanted to do more for patient care and for that, she had to know more. In this episode, Tee and Terri explore a number of issues addressed in Dr. Terri’s new book, Hormone Havoc: Dispelling the Myths and Misconceptions about Hormones in Women and Men. When describing her hopes for her patients, Dr. DeNeui says, “At EVEXIAS, we believe in an integrated approach to wellness that includes not only education but evaluation of the individual patient as a whole rather than just a specific problem that he or she may present.” Connect with Dr. Terri  Website Book  Facebook  Instagram LinkedIn Book  __________________________________ Follow Therese "Tee" Forton-Barnes and The Green Living Gurus: Tee’s Organics - Therese’s Healthy Products for You and Your Home:  The Green Living Gurus Website  Instagram Youtube Facebook Healthy Living Group on Facebook Tip the podcaster!

This week Tee is honored to welcome Dr. Dominic Brandy to the podcast to dive deep into the many ways that we can both prevent and fight cancer using diet, exercise, and detoxifying methods that we champion week after week on the show. Dr. Brandy is the Founder of Natural Insights Into Cancer. He has been a practicing medical doctor for 42 years running a plastic surgery / medspa / anti-aging practice during that time. He has published 76 peer-reviewed scientific articles and 9 textbook chapters in the medical literature and written many consumer articles and 2 lay books while also giving over 200 lectures at international medical meetings.  Five years ago Dominic was diagnosed with a blood cancer called Multiple Myeloma. Like all cancer patients, after the shock, he started to get his life and spiritual priorities in order. “We all know we are going to die, but when it’s right there in front of your face, it’s a lot different.” Dr. Brandy had one advantage over the rest of us…medical school and a lifelong history of reading and studying about diet, exercise, and supplements and their relationship to good health.  Because Dr. Brandy had directed The Skin Center’s anti-aging division for the past 25 years, he already had a solid foundation of knowledge about health and nutrition before his diagnosis. Moreover, health and nutrition have been a passion of Dr. Brandy since the age of 10. In this episode, you will be getting information from a medical professional with an intense passion for learning as much as possible about health, nutrition, and ways to fight cancer naturally. In addition, Dr. Brandy shares his knowledge through his website and Instagram and is the author of Beat Back Cancer Naturally which includes 5 Scientifically Proven Natural and Plant-Based Ways to Prevent, Survive, and Thrive with Cancer.   Connect with Dr. Dominic Website Books Instagram  __________________________________ Follow Therese "Tee" Forton-Barnes and The Green Living Gurus: Tee’s Organics - Therese’s Healthy Products for You and Your Home:  The Green Living Gurus Website  Instagram Youtube Facebook Healthy Living Group on Facebook Tip the podcaster!

This week Tee was delighted to welcome Tom Volinchak to the podcast for a deep dive into the world of water and what you need to know about it. Tom is a globally recognized authority on the science behind water purification technology and water science. Tom’s love affair with science began as a young boy going through three chemistry sets at age 10 and learning 5 different ways to blow things up by the age of 12. By the age of 15 Tom was creating homemade electronic gadgets to alter the sound of his guitar and accordion kicking off a lifelong love affair with engineering and technology. Tom received a BS in Biology focused on Microbiology and Virology, with a minor in Chemistry.

His designs have found homes with entities such as Drexel Chemicals, PMC Biogenix, Georgia Pacific, Hardy Bottling, St. Jude Children’s Hospital, The Cleveland Clinic, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Tennessee, and many more. Tom was Recognized for designing the first US Deionized water system for Honda Motors and also created a company around the world’s first-ever, 100% green water purification media. His company manufactures a patented technology that turns previously carbon-rich rice husk (bio-waste) into an ultralow cost, carbon-reducing, pollution-reducing water purification.  In addition to his technical accomplishments, Tom has also authored 2 books on the subject of water: What You Don't Know About Water, But Should, and Open Tap: Drink Poison / Let's Fix It. In this conversation, he shares his enormous knowledge of our water systems and how he believes the process of manufacturing our homes needs to change in order to protect citizens from the increasingly polluted water supply here in America.

This week Tee was delighted to welcome Ania Markiewicz for an enlightening talk about healing your body with the mind. Throughout her life, Ania has been on a quest to discover how to lead a happier, healthier life and to share that knowledge with others. Her parents instilled in her the importance of natural cures and unorthodox therapies from a young age. They surrounded her with energy healers who taught her about the innate capacity for healing that exists in each of us. These experiences inspired her to pursue various modalities to advance her body, mind, and spirit while setting her on a path. Initially, her goal was to help people feel relaxed through massage, but soon she realized that she wanted to learn more about how the body functions and heals. This led her to study Integrative Manual Therapy - which includes muscles testing and listening to the body’s needs - and explore concepts like chakras, the energy field, and the effects of everyday products on our health. She also realized that looking at the patient as a whole is crucial. The body, mind, and spirit are intertwined, and treating only the symptoms or one area of the being is not sufficient for achieving true healing. This is why she emphasizes the importance of freeing ourselves from restrictive beliefs, outdated programming, and social conditioning, in addition to treating the physical manifestations of negative emotions stored in our bodies. By treating the patient as a whole, including their mind and spirit, we can achieve optimal health and well-being. As a result, she has made it her life's mission to empower and educate others about their innate ability to heal and live their best lives.

This week Tee is excited to welcome Maya Rommwatt for an investigation into the chemical footprint of plastic bottles on our health and environment. As Senior Market Campaigner at Defend Our Health, Maya persuades corporate policymakers to slash the use of dangerous chemicals and petrochemical plastics in popular products and packaging. She has also worked to clean up greenhouse gas emissions in supply chains and to protect critically endangered species, and she has been continuously advocating for a just climate transition in her hometown Portland, Oregon.  Maya received a M.S. in Environmental Studies and a B.S. in Biology from the University of Oregon and she loves to explore the intersection between human organization and biological processes in order to improve our communities, health, and the world we live in. She believes in punching up and holding the most powerful to account, advocating for change through lobbying and holding our politicians and regulatory agencies to account to change the current policies on plastics and toxins in our environment. In this episode, Maya unpacks a study that Defend Our Health has recently released on tracking the environmental and toxic effects of manufacturing plastic Coke bottles. This is an eye-opening conversation about both the impact of plastics on our health but also the devastating effect that the multi-stage process of making such bottles has on low-income and minority communities as well as our environment.

This week Tee was delighted to welcome Natasha Trenev to the show for an in-depth look at the many health benefits and essential characteristics of probiotics and gut health. Known as The Mother of Probiotics, Natasha has significantly contributed to the evolution of the probiotics industry as the Founder and President of Natren Inc. Natren’s probiotic products come with 40 years of focused, rigorous scientific research and technology from leading scientists and researchers in the field. Prior to her work, consumers had limited knowledge about probiotics and their many benefits. Natasha’s extensive experience and knowledge of the industry began with her family’s 750-year history of producing the most beneficial yogurt prized by the royal family of Yugoslavia. She was the first person in (1980) North America to introduce the category of Probiotic dietary supplements for human use. After graduating from UCLA in 1970, a decade of research led to Natasha’s development of the first revolutionary method of producing an effective and scientifically validated single-strain probiotic bacteria product. Her efforts helped to establish the entire probiotics category worldwide! For 40 years, Natasha has stated that the properly selected precision probiotic beneficial bacteria supplementation will have profound effects on every aspect of human health including physical, mental, emotional, skin, and organ health.  In this episode, Tee and Natasha discuss the current confusion existing in the field of probiotics while unpacking how her products aid to optimal health as opposed to generic off-the-shelf probiotic supplements that contain none of the life-giving bacteria and cultures that she has worked her entire life to perfect!   Connect with Natasha: Website Instagram  Natren Instagram Facebook Toll Free Number: (866) 462-8736 __________________________________ Follow Therese "Tee" Forton-Barnes and The Green Living Gurus: Tee’s Organics - Therese’s Healthy Products for You and Your Home:  The Green Living Gurus Website  Instagram Youtube Facebook Healthy Living Group on Facebook Tip the podcaster!
