HYDRATE with Tracy Duhs

Are you wasting money on fake food? Is eating healthy real food actually expensive or is that what you’re made to believe? We are sold LIES by big food brands, and we continue to buy these lies every time we consume beautifully packaged food with nothing to offer but poison. In this week's episode of HYDRATE, I chat with my good friend Gretchen about the transformative role of REAL FOOD in achieving OPTIMAL HEALTH. Real food is whole, non-processed, natural food dense with nutrients our body needs. It had kept our ancestors strong and healthy for hundreds of years until food companies introduced us to hybridized junk made in laboratories and popularized by TV ads. Why should you avoid that box of chemicals disguised as ‘healthy' food? Gretchen and I tell you why. We also cover her journey from veganism to a nutrient-dense diet; grain fermentation; cheap real food choices + recipes; and the timeless benefits of natural food preparation. Gretchen Hackman Adler is the founder of the health and lifestyle brand, ‘Gretchy.’ Believing that health transformation begins in the kitchen, she organized an online course called ‘Nourishing Your Kitchen Master Class’ to lead thousands of people toward their best and healthiest selves.   What we discuss… 2:37 - Gretchen's transition from veganism and plant-based diet to a nutrient-dense diet 6:04 - The lies food companies sell 9:33 - The secret to glowing skin, high energy, and active mind is in your kitchen 11:53 - How to practice the ancient and healthiest way of food preparation 13:22 - Why veganism and a carnivore diet are never sustainable 14:55 - How to activate your kitchen and source good ingredients 18:05 - What is einkorn wheat? 20:10 - DIY sourdough starter and grain fermentation 30:50 - The importance of proper food sourcing and preparation 34:58 - Why real food is worth your attention and money   To learn more about Gretchen...

LADIES! Can’t figure out what’s causing your skin breakout, anxiety, insomnia, mood issues, and excruciating monthly cycle? Your derailed hormones may be the culprit! “Your hormones are like children. They can’t be unattended at any time.”  - Dr. Carrie In this episode of HYDRATE, Women’s Health and Hormone expert Dr. Carrie Jones and I dive deep into hormone health and imbalance. We’ve always known hormones as signaling agents in our body, but many of us don’t fully understand how hormones work and how they can perform miracles once we learn to optimize them.  Working like a symphony of messengers, hormones transport signals throughout the body and regulate our physiology. However, as in a symphony, one miscue can derail the system and trigger an imbalance. Plus, Dr. Carrie covers what causes hormone imbalance and what we can do to avoid them. She claims that our lifestyle, diet, hobbies, thoughts, stressors, hydration, and medications are vital in hormonal disruption. Sadly, there’s no magic pill to restore balance, but the good news is, there are tons of practical ways to keep our hormones happy, healthy, and thriving!  Dr. Carrie Jones is a Naturopathic Physician with expertise in women’s health and hormones. She’s an internationally acclaimed educator sharing her healing wisdom to patients and health care practitioners across the globe.   In this episode, we discuss… 5:10 - What is a hormone? 14:20 - The importance of consulting a hormone specialist rather than burning money on supplements 17:40 - How hormonal health is about pathology and your personal story 19:00 - What is aldosterone and its role in salt and water balance? 22:36 - What tests are best for which hormones: urine, saliva, or blood test? 27:51 - Dr. Carrie’s thoughts on hormone supplementation, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, and hormone replacement therapy 31:29 - Risks and benefits of progesterone cream and oral progesterone 36:00 - How liver and gall bladder health impact hormonal health 38:12 – Why alcohol consumption and liver cleansing make hormone issues worse 40:10 - Tips on resetting the clock genes and keeping your hormones healthy   To learn more about Dr. Carrie: Website: drcarriejones.com Instagram: @drcarriejones   Related Links: Get 20% off with code HYDRATE at organifishop.com/hydrate

How do you define a healthy person? Is eating quality food enough to stave off sickness? What’s the best way to absorb the nutrients from the food we consume?  “If you’re deficient in one thing, that will make certain systems break down…and that’s how disease happens.” - Matt In this week’s episode of HYDRATE, I chat with ‘Mad Marketing Scientist’ and Life Optimizer Matt Gallant about nutrient optimization and why consuming good food is NOT enough to keep us healthy. While eating organic, fresh, mineral-rich food is the way to go, our bodies don’t automatically absorb the nutrients from them – we need digestive enzymes to do that. Enzymes ensure that carbs convert into glucose, proteins into amino acids, fats into essential fatty acids. But here’s the catch: normal food can’t do all that, and thus the need for supplements. Here, Matt and I dive into the Nutrification process, fat emulsification, and the transformative role of digestive enzyme supplements, probiotics, magnesium, and more! Ultimately, we talk about how biological optimization takes us to a higher level of vitality we’ll never have with food alone. A walking encyclopedia on the digestive system, Matt Gallant is a Practical Spirituality Student, Author, Serial Entrepreneur, and the CEO of BiOptimizers who has spent decades working with topnotch scientists to produce world-class health and nutrition supplements.   In this episode, we discuss... 3:10 Rethinking the mainstream definition of health and nutrition 3:55 The impact of gut health and good digestion on our everyday life 5:10 The three phases of Nutrification and the importance of amino acids and proteolytic enzymes 14:58 Signs and symptoms that the body isn’t emulsifying fats properly 19:10 How enzymes catalyze Assimilation 25:05 Why loading up on magnesium stimulates brain function 27:45 The secret to becoming “super” healthy and reaching 100+ years old 30:30 Different forms of magnesium and how to maximize its absorption 33:17 Calcification and Aging: Why too much calcium and not enough magnesium is bad for you 38:40 Hacks on absorbing any fat-soluble vitamins better 45:35 What you need to know about probiotics and weight loss   Connect with Matt on Instagram: @mattgallant Or visit their website: bioptimizers.com

Have you ever thought that eating plants is negative to our bodies? In this week’s episode of HYDRATE, I talk with the ‘Carnivore MD’, Paul Saladino all about the impact of food on our diet. We discuss his journey to fighting back on western medicine, and the impacts of food to our body. We are taught that plants are good and that we need lots of vegetables in our diets, some experts even say only vegetables is the best option, but what if the opposite is actually the most beneficial? Paul Saladino breaks down the science of eating plants versus eating meat, as well as the history of why meat is made for us to eat.  Dr. Saladino is the leading authority on the science and application of the carnivore diet. He has used this diet to reverse autoimmunity, chronic inflammation and mental health issues in hundreds of patients, many of whom had been told their conditions were untreatable. He hosts the podcast, Fundamental Health and released his first book in 2020 titled, “The Carnivore Code: Unlocking the Secrets to Optimal Health by Returning to our Ancestral Diet.” We talk about his supplement brand, “Heart and Soil” where he designed supplements based on all the nutrients found in meat.   What we discuss…  0:23- The Problems with Western Medicine 2:57- What started Paul’s journey to find the cure for autoimmunity 7:04- Thinking like a plant 15:16- Preparation of food making a difference 16:26- Hunter-gatherer diet 22:24- Veganism and quiet guts 24:58- Different diets and their benefits 27:23- Eating food purely & on its own 33:11- Diet fallacies 43:59- Nutrients in organs 47:09- Difference between real organs and supplements 50:56- Vegetarians are fooling themselves 53:31- Ethics of eating meat 1:03:30- How much meat do you need to eat per day?   Website: heartandsoil.co Instagram: @CARNIVOREMD

Did you know that 70-80% of the immune system is in the gut? In this episode of HYDRATE, Dr. Will Cole and I talk about all things skin, from causes of inflammation, to meditation, to intermittent fasting.  Each and every one of our bodies is different, and knowing exactly what works for you is important. A clean diet is the start, but pin-pointing what foods and lifestyle choices are the culprit is the goal. The idea that there is one quick fix that works for everyone is a lie. Whether its dairy, gluten, certain grains, or caffeine, many different things can be the problem. What does your health puzzle look like? Staying in tune with your body can enable you to understand what is best for you.  Dr. Will Cole embodies so much of the beauty that comes with skin and anything that has to do with hydration.

Did you know over 2 billion people on this earth have a mineral deficiency? But what is mineral deficiency exactly? What are the common symptoms of it? How can we reverse a mineral deficiency?    In this episode of HYDRATE, Barton Scott and I chat about mineral deficiency and mineral toxicity.  The reality is the majority of us, if not all, are actually deficient in magnesium. A deficiency in this mineral usually explains most of our feelings of unease, such as brain fog, poor sleep quality, forgetfulness, constipation, and so much more. In fact, almost any disease or discomfort we experience is simply a symptom of a deficiency or toxicity of a certain mineral in our body.    Plus, Barton also talks about how important salt is for our body. We’ve been sold the idea by modern medicine that salt is dangerous for our health, but the reality is getting our salt fix is necessary for our health. However, it is important to be consuming the right sort of salt, as not all salt is created equal. As Barton explains, celtic sea salt and iodized table do not have the same impact on your body.   Barton Scott is a Chemical Engineer, Nutritionist and the Founder of Upgraded Formulas– A nanotech company focused around performance and longevity–specifically with a focus on correcting mineral deficiency with a new category of supplementation to increase health span, focus, blood sugar management, and sleep quality.    What we discuss…   03:36: How Barton Scott became a magnesium formulater 09:30: How Barton started Upgraded Formulas 16:00: Why does particle size matter? 19:43: What does it mean to reverse a deficiency? 21:39: What are the common symptoms of mineral imbalance? 28:56: How to get balance in your minerals? 42:00: How does LSD affect the adrenal system? 47:11: What happens when we take too much calcium? 52:50: What is a calcium shell and what does it do? 56:51: What are the different forms of magnesium and which forms are recommended? 58:48: Three actionable steps to getting the right minerals into your bloodstream 1:01:19: What’s difference between iodized table salt and celtic sea salt? 1:06:37: What form of iodine should we be intaking? 1:10:59: How can you strengthen your adrenals? 1:12:10: How does self-pleasure affect ejaculation? 01:17:10: Do we really need coper supplements?   To learn more about Barton:   Website: upgradedformulas.com Instagram: @askbarton and @upgradedformulas YouTube: upgradedformulas
