292: Having mold automatically means you have parasites too? This was something new I learned in today’s episode with Jessica Rauscher, a holistic practitioner who healed from mold toxicity herself and now helps others do the same. Her experience with both parasites and mold has led her to support countless clients through a natural approach and education on what to look for if you suspect mold exposure, how to address it physically, and the mental and emotional aspects that often get overlooked. Sometimes, having any diagnosis is harder on our mental state than our physical one, so we talk about both…plus the symptoms of mold, how to get tested (both yourself and your environment), whether a vegan or carnivore diet is best when dealing with mold and parasites, and how to address your employer if you think your workplace might be the source. Jessica also offers free first consultations from anywhere in the U.S., so stay tuned until the end of the episode where she shares her personal email so you can contact her directly. Topics Discussed: → Symptoms of mold → How to spot mold → How to test for mold in your body and home → How to confront your employer if you suspect mold at work → The emotional toll of mold exposure → Why mold and parasites are connected → Supplements that support detox → Food and diet protocols for detoxing → The best binders for mold and parasites → What biofilms are and why they matter → The top food to break up biofilms → Where to find help if you think you have mold and parasites As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.

288: Can you heal autoimmune disease, gut issues, asthma, sinus issues and restore vitamin efficiencies all from making your own freshly milled bread? That's the claim of Sue Becker who has disrupted the industrial bread making industry with her freshly milled bread recipes. Sue and her family are living proof that you can eat gluten, carbs, and enjoy bread again all while improving your health and immune system by the way you make your bread, even if you can't have gluten. Industrial bread and flour on the store shelves are not what you think and today we're exposing and explaining why that is. We talk about how enriched flour is a scam and actually making your health worse and creating an imbalance, not to mention these "vitamins" added are actually synthetic. Sue also shares her secret in how to make freshly milled bread and all you need is a grain mill to make muffins, tortillas, pancakes, waffles, and yes, bread!

286: We are talking about abortion, but not only about whether it's right or wrong, but about both the mental and physical health effects abortion has on the mother. These effects aren't just temporary, but lifelong, and may not even appear until decades after the woman has the abortion.

Whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, this episode exposes hidden facts about how abortion affects a woman's health FOREVER.

Topics Discussed: → Protecting women's health! → Breast cancer linked to abortion → Mental health → Is the abortion pill more dangerous than giving birth? → Financial ties in planned parenthood  → Increased risk for miscarriages later in life → Is having an abortion to save a mother required?  As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.  And if you like this show, please share it, rate it, review it and subscribe to it on your favorite podcast app.  Sponsored By: → Timeline | They’re offering my audience a 20% discount on all first-time purchases!

282: If you suffer from asthma, allergies, chronic coughs, or are sensitive to smoke and pollution... heck, even if you have gut issues, this episode will blow your mind! I bet you didn’t know that our gut health affects our lung health and vice versa! But think about it—if our gut impacts our brain, our skin, and even our mouth, why wouldn’t it also affect our lungs? In fact, our lungs require certain probiotics that our gut does not, and that’s exactly what we’re diving into today: how to support our lungs by supporting our gut with specific probiotics and GLP-1-supporting products. Not GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic! These are natural products that support the GLP-1 our bodies already produce, without side effects.

274: From healing autism and autoimmune diseases with bone broth to the sneaky, sad truth about what it actually takes to get on grocery store shelves (spoiler: brands have to pay for shelf space—and they’re often required to go on sale multiple times a year, which eats into their margins), this episode is packed with eye-opening insights. We get into the GAPS diet—what it is and how it works—the realities of USDA regulations, and the little-known details about Prop 65: including how some brands voluntarily put that scary warning on their packaging even when their test results are well below Prop 65 lead levels. My dear friend and sister in Christ, Sharon Brown, founder of Bonafide Provisions, shares her powerful story of helping to heal her son with bone broth, and how that journey led her to create the first company to bring real, traditionally-made bone broth to the market.

273: Is soy actually good for us? Have we been lied to about soy and phytoestrogens?Today I’m sharing some shocking studies on the health benefits of soy and other foods containing phytoestrogens. Soy may not be for everyone—including me (I share why in this episode)—however, it may actually help several women (and men!) in different ways. Here’s what the science says… PLUS… foods that contain phytoestrogens beyond soy. STUDIES: This PubMed study found that Asian-Americans who ate tofu had a reduced risk of developing breast cancer. The more tofu they ate, the lower their risk. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8922298  Here are 11 PubMed studies highlighting how soy benefits our bones: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19367115 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11095177 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16763748 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14557449 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12920508 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15018488 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10757817 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15702593 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10479216 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15309425 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10966908 It appears that just taking a daily pill containing the isoflavone genistein may be enough to reap some of soy's bone density benefits:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17577003 People in Asia consume much, much, much more soy than those in the West:http://www.smart-publications.com/cancer/daidzein.php Interestingly, men may benefit slightly more than women from eating foods rich in phytoestrogens.
