Did you know that 70% of your immune system can be found in the lining of your gut? Your gut impacts your entire body, especially how your immune system responds, which is why it is extra important to take care of your gut health now so that your body can focus on keeping your immune system in tip-top shape.

Dr. Pedre is here to shed some light on how your body, gut, and hormones work together and provide practical ways that you can boost your immune system to achieve excellent health.

Episode Summary:

Fluoride has been widely accepted as a ‘healthy’ additive to our water and air pollution since 1945, but did you know that it can have dangerous side effects when building up over time? Melissa Gallico went from being an FBI analyst to a podcast host and author focusing on the detrimental effects of fluoride through her own personal experience with acne breakouts when consuming fluoride and is here to share her knowledge with you today.

Excessive exposure to fluoride can have a negative impact on everything from your reproductive issues to your cognitive development and decreased thyroid function, and sadly it is up to us to take control of our fluoride exposure. Everything from your water to your wine could have fluoride in it, which is why Melissa is here to explain the science behind fluoride and how you can protect you and your family from its damaging effects.

If you are curious about the most common sources of fluoride exposure that you may be surprised by, want to learn about the connection between fluoride and severe acne or other chronic health issues, or just want to set you and your family up for success when it comes to decreasing your fluoride intake, this is the episode for you.

There is a physical answer to the changes your body experiences when you travel, and if you have experienced the clearing of your skin, mind or just all-around better bodily functioning when you are abroad, this could be a sign that fluoride is one of your root cause issues. Melissa wants to set you up for success by providing you with simple things that you can do right now to start to get to the bottom of your fluoride exposure.

Episode Summary:

Today is a very special day as we celebrate the 2 year anniversary of the Essentially You Podcast. I am so grateful for this platform to bring you what you want from top experts in the field, and I can’t wait to see where the next year brings us. Today we are living in a very different world than we were last year, or even last month, which is why I want to provide you with ways that you can reduce your levels of stress, boost your immune system and stay focused on keeping you and your family healthy.

In this unprecedented time, many of us are justifiably scared or worried. However, we need to focus on instant wins to avoid falling into the addictive stress response patterns and instead find solutions that provide relief, reduce stress, stop sleeplessness and sugar cravings, and decrease your brain fog.

When you are able to take a deep dive into understanding how stress impacts your immune, reproductive and digestive systems, you can find solutions to help get you out of that constant state of chronic stress. By implementing safety signals that you can use throughout the day to stop yourself from being instantly triggered, to embracing a morning and evening ritual such as my ‘Power of the Pause’, which I share with you on this episode, you can actively reduce your stress response system today.

I am here to support you throughout these uncertain times and my goal is to provide you with ways that you can fight the stressors that plague your body, improve your immune system and balance your mood so that you can move your body from a stress state to a state of relaxation.
