If you take a trip to the grocery store, you'll find that the most popular foods are the ones that come in a package (chips, cookies, cereals, etc.). With the wide use of industrially processed seed oils, these foods are very high in Omega-6s and essentially depleted of Omega-3s.  This shift from whole foods to processed foods has created a sharp increase in chronic illness over the years. In today's episode, we talk abou...

Upon entering your local gym, you are likely welcomed by an overly-enthusiastic employee along with a fridge full of energy drinks, promising to take your workout to the next level. But one pre-workout drink that doesn't get enough attention is beet juice (a.k.a beetroot juice).

Yep, the nectar from that root vegetable that no one really enjoys. Some people refer to it as "nature's Viagra" due to the w...

The topics of nutrition and mental health independently get a lot of attention, but rarely do we hear about how those two are linked. We don't often talk about the food we eat impacts our mental health, despite the strong connection between the two.

In today's episode, we dive into the world of Nutritional Psychiatry by looking at how diet directly impacts the brain.

When it comes to burning fat, most people depend primarily on a low-carb/ketogenic diet. And while diet certainly serves an important role in metabolic flexibility, one major factor in our ability to burn fat vs. carbs is exercise.

Exercise plays a big part in how metabolically flexible we are. And although it may seem that the more we exercise, the more fat we'll burn, it's not that simple. In fact, exercise ca...

    Are You A Charlotte?

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
