Episode 275: How I lost 100 pounds! with Lindy Bulsterbaum
Today’s podcast guest, Lindy Bulsterbaum, lost 100 pounds and regained her health using a ketogenic diet. From her wake up call in 2017 to the first time she set foot in a gym to now waking up before the sun to get her workout in, hear about Lindy’s inspiring journey and how she has truly revolutionized her wellness!
In this episode, we interview Lindy, a teacher, personal trainer and health coach on finding keto and transforming her health, diet mishaps, and how her keto has evolved over time.

Plus learn about Lindy’s pre and post surgery protocol and her favorite Naturally Nourished Supplements!
More About Lindy:
Lindy is a 43 year-old teacher in San Antonio, Texas. She has 2 children, is the wife of a San Antonio fireman, and has spent the last 4.5 years revolutionizing her health and wellness.

She has become a certified personal trainer and began a health coaching business (COMPASS Wellness) with two of her dearest friends, Alyssa Rodgers and Terri Barrios. Together, they share their unique experiences and methods to help women of all ages navigate their wellness journeys!

Episode 274: H. Pylori and Upper GI Health
Are you dealing with nausea, heartburn, reflux or upper gut drama? It could be H. Pylori, a very common bacterial infection that affects upwards of 50% of the global population. Though common, left untreated H. Pylori can be serious, driving peptic ulcers as well as progression into stomach cancer. Tune in to hear us cover diagnosis and conventional treatment as well as functional medicine approaches, supplements and food-as-medicine solutions.
In this episode, we break down the symptoms, risk factors, and diagnosis of H. Pylori and why you should pay attention to what your gut is telling you! This bacteria is particularly contagious and can affect the entire household as well as be passed back and forth between family members. Learn how you can use natural compounds to prevent and treat infection, from sulforaphane to berberine to oil of oregano and beyond and how to approach gut healing from the root cause.
