You've probably heard us mention either inflammatory, hydrogenated, or industrial seed oils on this podcast before, and it's always one of the #1 places we recommend people to start when trying to clean up their diet. That's because these oils are in SO MANY food products, and many people grew up cooking with them as well because they're cheap and accessible, or were told they're the better "heart healthy" option. Unfortunately, these oils have no nutritional benefit for our bodies and...

**DISCLAIMER: NOT MEDICAL ADVICE** as we know ADHD symptoms can significantly impact people's quality of life and sometimes prescription medication is what's most helpful. This episode moreso aims to call out the fact that Adderall is super commonly prescribed even to people who aren't diagnosed with ADHD, and it's become more accessible and widely used for other purposes outside its original intent. Like any other health issue we talk about on this podcast, our body speaks to us in symptoms...

Detoxing does not = deprivation. Any "cleanse" that immediately guarantees weight loss, instructs you to eat less, or really do anything extreme is likely not going to be a long term solution to the sub par health symptoms you're having. More often than not, our bodies just need a simple reset rather than a full blown intense detox, unless you're working 1:1 with a practitioner who is recommending something based on testing (i.e. parasites, infections). In this episode, we explain what...

How can we, as a society and individuals, make organic and climate-friendly food more affordable and accessible for all people? What barriers need to be addressed and what are some viable solutions?

Madison McMullan joins Wellness Digest to talk about her work as a Quantum Hypnotherapist, whose passion is to help her clients see their true potential so they can heal themselves. She does this through a type of hypnotherapy called past life regression, where she helps people enter their subconscious mind to access not only their soul's past life, but also their self limiting beliefs, trapped emotions, and traumas. Sounds crazy - but you've gotta tune into this episode to hear just how...

Throwing it back to our VERY FIRST EPISODE EVER (WTF should I be eating?) and giving it a little makeover :) Diet is often the first place people start on a health journey because eating food is the one thing we do every single day that we have a decent degree of control over. We originally did this episode because we ourselves found it really f*cking confusing when it came to nutrition, what to eat for optimal health, and what to generally avoid. Our first episode still rings true, but it's...

Last week on the podcast we sat down with holistic health coach Molly McKenzie, who shared with us her experience being vegan and why she ultimately decided that it was no longer working for her body. Part of our discussion included changes she saw in her health once she added animal products back in, but what we didn't dive too deep into is why or how avoiding animal products affects the body in the first place. Are we getting all the right minerals and nutrients if we exclude animal...

Meet Molly - a holistic health coach and NTP in the works joins us on Wellness Digest to chat about her experience as a former vegan and how her mindset and health has shifted since then. From not consuming food cooked on the same surface as meat, to now eating meat with nearly every meal, Molly explains why she changed her mind regarding veganism and how this decision has strengthened her relationship with food and with herself. No matter what way of eating you subscribe to, a big takeaway...

While the holidays are meant to be joyful, relaxing, and carefree, it's actually often the time of year where our bodies are the MOST stressed out. With lots of social gatherings comes more energy exchange, less sleep, foods we don't normally eat, alcohol, etc. and even when spent with the most loved people in our lives, it can leave our bodies and minds depleted because it's just not how we live our lives the majority of the year! In this episode, we give our tips for having a balanced,...

Conventional, organic, pasture-raised, regenerative... what the heck is the difference? And what does it tell you about the way your food was grown or raised? And then once you know this info, how do you distinguish between the different types at the store or at your local farmers market? It can all be really confusing and labels aren't always the most helpful, so Tatum is giving us the run down on farming systems, food sourcing, and why she thinks regenerative is the way to go. This episode...

After being in the fitness industry for years, Illie (@healthillie) realized that counting her calories/macros, taking all the fitness supplements and playing into "everything in moderation" was no longer serving her. She was suffering from chronic migraines, hormonal acne, terrible bloating after every meal, heavy painful periods, eczema, you name it, and being ignored by doctors and specialists who told her that her blood work was normal and her diet was fine - we've been there once too!...

POV: it's somewhere around Fall of 5th grade year, you just finished your first sex ed class, and you're scared to death. If you look at a boy, you'll get pregnant and your life will be over. When you get your period, everything will change and you'll never be the same again.  Unfortunately, pretty much nothing we learned about our bodies as women, how they function, and how to take care of them came from sex ed. It wasn't until we were in our 20s that we truly understood how pregnancy...

Health and wellness can actually be really simple - we just tend to overcomplicate it with so many trends, products, methods, etc. especially when social media gives us access to millions of people and how they're all doing it differently. We wanted to give you guys an easy and simple guide for starting a healthy journey whether you're just getting into health and wellness or you've been at it for a while and things are just starting to feel like a bit much.

We're embracing the woo in this episode with our dear friend and talented reiki master, Nicole Scimia (@_loverof_). Everything around us is made of energy, even inanimate objects carry energy, and we're constantly affected by the vibrational frequencies around us. Reiki work is a way of allowing this energy to move through the body, releasing energy that no longer serves us and welcoming in the new. We also chat with Nicole about messages from the universe, dealing with triggers and...

Hot take -- gluten/dairy free does not automatically mean a product is healthier!! Gluten and dairy are two foods that are often villainized  - but why?

Why might these foods be triggers for you? These questions + more answered in this juicy episode!!  Mentions:  Mark Hyman MD - Food: What the Heck Should...

More often than not, acne is the body's last cry for help. By the time something has reached our skin, it's usually an indication that our body is overburdened with toxins and stressors, and it's now showing through our skin as a way of saying "hey look at me! i need help". There are a multitude of things that could be causing chronic acne - from leaky gut to blood sugar imbalances to liver congestion/poor drainage to something deeper like parasites or mold. In this episode, Liv opens up...

No one gets out of this life unscathed, but what you do with situations that bring...
