Is your home secretly making you sick?

How would you even know?

Today, Dr. Z sits down with Dr. Peter Osborne to uncover a terrifying truth: mold exposure is silently wrecking the health of millions. And most people don’t even know it’s happening.

Dr. Osborne the “Gluten-Free Warrior,” shares how mold devastated his family, caused the heartbreaking loss of their dog, and near-death of his wife. This personal and professional journe...

If you aren't thinking detox for heart health, you're missing a major health obstacle in your life. It’s no secret that toxins are everywhere, but what if your cookware, chocolate, or even sea salt was quietly sabotaging your heart health?

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Z sits down with environmental detox expert Warren Phillips to uncover the hidden dangers of heavy metals and the simple swaps that can help protect your body a...

It’s been five years since our last podcast episode—and so much has changed. In this special “coming back” episode, Dr. Z and Mama Z (that’s us!) share what’s been happening behind the scenes, from adding three precious little ones to our family, to running races (literally!) and redefining what it means to live healthy, naturally, and Biblically in today’s world.

We open up about why we took a break in 2020, how burnout led us to ...

At Christmastime, people often give gifts that are not-so-healthy and we want to empower you to give the gift of health instead! Just think about it: loads of sugar (tasty treats) and lots of chemicals (smelly body care & perfumes) are just the tip of the iceberg.

This year, join us in starting a NEW tradition and let’s bless the people around us with healthy gifts that will truly be appreciated!

In today’s episode, we’ll explore t...

Showing holiday hospitality, especially at this time of year, is a great way to serve and show your love for others. However, for some of us, hosting holiday events can be intimidating, stressful or downright scary -but it doesn’t need to be!

If you don’t know how to get started, we’re here to help make it easy. In this week’s podcast, we will provide expert tips from Mama Z’s years of experience as a “hospitality pro.” Tune in to ...

Thanksgiving can be a stressful time of year and tax your health but if you plan ahead, you can manage that stress, stay healthy and still enjoy the holiday.

Our family has spent years learning what to do – and what not to do – so that we can share the joy of the season without ruining our diet or fitness routines, or causing additional stress to our loved ones.

In Part 2 of “Healthy Happy Holidays,” we will share the last 3 of our...

For some of us, the holidays can be a time of extreme stress or unpleasant memories - but it doesn’t have to be that way. You have the power to create your own holiday traditions and make this a time of peace and joy.

Jesus is the reason for this entire holiday season! With this perspective in mind, you can take practical steps to relieve holiday stressors, avoid negative family situations, and even boost your immune system to redu...

Anyone can become a person of influence, even if your sphere of influence is small, like family and friends. As Christians, we believe that God mandates us all to be people of influence. But how can begin to impact someone’s life for good?

It starts with recalling the people who have positively impacted you. This can happen in any part of your life: school, sports, work, family, even your favorite authors and famous figures who hav...

This week, we have a very special podcast: our first interview ever on our show! Up until now, it's just been us hanging out in our basement studio chatting away about our lives and about the things the Lord has put on our hearts.

But this episode, we interviewed Angie Lima, Mama Z's close friend and pageant sister, and the star of the upcoming documentary, Hope For Breast Cancer.

Today’s chat is an inspiration for anyone strugglin...

In our new documentary, the Hope for Breast Cancer, we walk alongside Angie Lima as she battles breast cancer. During this journey, we learned many valuable insights into the business side of cancer treatments and what patients must do to protect their lives.

During today's episode, we'll share the second and final part of our findings and we'll cover everything from preventative mastectomies, reconstruction complications, implant ...

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. In fact, 1 in 8 women will be affected by it. That’s why we decided to create the documentary, Hope for Breast Cancer, after Mama Z’s good friend, Angie, was diagnosed.

Despite these staggering statistics, we believe that there is hope and healing, not just for breast cancer patients but for women of all ages. You can take steps towards preventing cancer by making smart life...

Have you been touched by a cancer diagnosis? Whether it’s you or a loved one, this news is devastating. We have dealt with cancer and loss among our loved ones many times ourselves.

So when Mama Z’s close friend, Angie, was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years back, it touched us to our core. We had already experienced so much heartache relating to cancer – and we’d heard so many stories from you as well -  that we had to do so...

Have you ever felt like your situation was hopeless? When God is our Savior we can hold onto hope, but that doesn’t make things smooth sailing.

When circumstances are darkest, we are often tempted to give up hope. But hopelessness comes with a price: It can lead to poor mental health and that can have dangerous consequences.

It’s important to stay hopeful but how do we maintain that outlook when something really bad happens to us o...

Welcome to part 2 of The Three Most Important Things in Life: A Year In Review. As we discussed in last week’s podcast, there are 3 things that satan will attack the most: your walk with God, your relationships, and your health.

This week, we are focusing on health. When life is difficult, it’s tempting to abandon healthy living. We may succumb to fast food, skip workouts, or give in to other unhealthy “shortcuts.” But if we do, ev...

It’s critical to know and expect that the enemy of your soul will attack the most important things in your life, especially during hectic or difficult times. In John 16:33, Jesus clearly states that in this world we will have trouble, however, He also says, “But take heart! I have overcome this world.”

Knowing that we can expect these attacks allows us to prepare in advance to weather these challenges with the Lord’s help. In fact,...

Do you have a big dream that you feel God is calling you to follow? Are you curious about what it took Mama Z to participate in something as challenging as the Mrs. America pageant? Are you wondering what it’s like to follow your heart and still live the abundant life, especially with your family?

Here at Natural Living Family, we’ve been up to a wonderful and hectic summer! So this week, we thought we’d share our experience as Mam...

The Bible says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” We know that people hurt or help us with the power of words, but do you realize that the words you say to yourself have power too? They can be as edifying – or destructive – as the words of a friend or enemy.

Positive thinking starts with removing destructive words in your life: gossip, self-criticism, profanity, deceit, etc. The words of your mouth reveal the state o...

Do you struggle to get things done? Work, family, prayer time – it can be difficult to manage all our responsibilities without becoming overwhelmed.

Many of us are also faced with challenges that make it hard to get even the basics done. Sleeplessness, health issues, and more can make us feel inundated and leave us struggling to get things accomplished.

A lot of people ask us how we get everything done. It’s true that life can get ...

Have you ever lashed out at a loved when life gave you bad news? Or found yourself struggling to work your job or business when crisis crops up? When you are feeling badly, do you cope by indulging in things that are bad for you? Getting up when life knocks you down is a skill to master.

When we are overwhelmed by life’s circumstances, many of us unintentionally lash out at those we love, struggle with our work, and give in to temp...
