In this episode, I’m chatting with Karalynne Call, the owner of Just Ingredients, a top-charting podcast host, certified nutritionist, mental health advocate, and mom of 6. She started her health journey over 15 years ago while battling severe depression. She turned her pain into her passion that she now shares on her social media platforms @just.ingredients and website justingredients.us to help other people make small changes for long-term benefits in their own health. In today’s episode, we talk about what role food can play in anxiety & depression and how to heal your body one step at a time.

 

[2:41] How Karalynne found herself with severe depression 16 years ago & how it started her mission with Just Ingredients

[3:39] Why doctors couldn’t help Karalynne’s body HEAL from her depression, only give her antidepressants to treat the symptoms (which she mentions were life-saving at the time, just not a long-term solution)

[4:44] How being “seat-belted in your emotions” meant Karalynne didn’t feel the extreme sadness but she also didn’t feel the joy, happiness, or laughter

[5:00] How a doctor FINALLY helped Karalynne’s body truly HEAL from the depression over a two-year journey

[6:27] How Karalynne took one simple step to make one small change at a time in order to TRULY heal her body and mind

[7:33] The importance of recognizing the BODY as having depression, and it not just being a mental/emotional symptom

[8:29] How the brain and body interact with each other every day & why finding YOUR root causes is the key to healing YOUR specific case of anxiety or depression

[9:41] Why functional medicine doctors or integrative doctors are your best place to start in finding YOUR root causes & getting ALL the tests you need to be done to find them

[11:25] How Karalynne can look back and recognize little symptoms that eventually added up to the onset of her severe onset of depression that hit once her third son became one year old

[12:45] What is COMMON in NOT NORMAL - terrible PMS, exhaustion all the time, etc.

[13:15] Learning how to LISTEN to your body will enable you to see the signs and symptoms before they become debilitating 

[14:41] Why HEALING takes TIME & how to find motivation during this process

[15:30] Why taking your prescriptions while finding the root causes are HELPFUL, but you may not start FEELING the improvements of healing until you wean off your prescriptions (because of their “seat-belting your emotions” effect)

[16:14] The moment Karalynne felt JOY again and how this MOTIVATED her to keep living this healthy lifestyle

[17:30] How to shift the mindset of us versus our body, TO our bodies fighting FOR us and not against us

[19:01] Why it’s hard to change & take the needed personal responsibility for your own health (the time it takes to eat healthy, the overwhelming factor of how many changes are needed, the confusion of loud, competing voices in the health field & needing to recognize how to simply nourish YOUR body)

[22:00] How looking at the ingredients in packaged food MATTERS & why simply seeing if the ingredients on the label are things you could have in your pantry can make the options healthier

[24:55] Why looking at what you CAN control (like the food you eat every day) can become the POSITIVE factor your need to heal 

[26:33] EDUCATING yourself in healthy lifestyle choices is EMPOWERING yourself

[27:22] Why we don’t need to link healthy eating & FUELING our bodies to diet culture and needing to lose weight

[29:02] Why nourishing our bodies enables our body to better DETOX all the toxins we live with every day (whether

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
