Episode 352: IV Nutrients vs. Oral Supplements
Have you ever gotten an IV nutrient drip? Tempted by the promises of better energy, clearer skin, clearing a hangover, or improving your immunity? Before you go out and spend hundreds of dollars on an IV drip at one of the trendy “drip bars”, you need to listen to this episode! We discuss the health claims and evidence (or lack thereof), risks and safety concerns, and whether or not we are on board with IV nutrient therapy.
In this episode, we discuss the buzzworthy trend of IV nutrient therapy. While it may sound promising to have a megadose of vitamins infused directly into your veins, there are some serious drawbacks and limitations to this type of infusion. Some nutrients in these infusions are in poor quality forms, while others are coupled with preservatives and parabens that may do more harm than good. Learn about risks and benefits, who should absolutely not get an IV drip, and why we prefer high quality oral supplementation.

Episode 351: Chrononutrition and Melatonin Updates
Have you heard of chrononutrition? Are you optimizing your body’s circadian rhythm? How does when you eat, sleep and fast impact your body’s clock? Tune in to hear us discuss the topic of chrononutrition and how you can time your food, exercise, sleep and other activities to best sync up to your natural rhythm.
Chrononutrition is the focused study of the relationship between food, metabolism, meal timing, and the circadian system. Your body actually has a central circadian “clock” located in the hypothalamus of the brain as well as additional clocks throughout peripheral tissues including the liver, heart, intestines, retina and more. In this episode we discuss sleep cycles, the actual best time to fast, as well as tips to reduce the pesky bluelight that is messing up your melatonin production!

Episode 350: What the BLEEP is Going on in our Food System?!
What the BLEEP is actually going on in our food system? How can you protect your household from rising prices, unhealthy and unnatural food, and food shortages? Between cell cultured meat, gene-editing technology, GMOs, and fires occurring in processing plants on a regular basis, our food system is under attack like never before. Tune in to hear us discuss our concerns as well as what you can do to prepare your household.
If you’ve been following the headlines, lab grown meat just got full approval from the USDA over the weekend and is about to hit the market in the US. Between this, GMOs, gene-editing technology and vaccinations given to livestock, it can be a scary time to even go to the grocery store. In this episode, we encourage you to “be prepared, not scared”, and take the reins of your family’s food security.
