307: The Public Health Crisis We Will Solve in Our Lifetime: How to Advocate For Black Lives Matter
Food Heals
06/11/20 • 16 min
All lives can't matter until black lives matter. Their house is on fire. Their children, brothers, sisters and parents are dying. We have to put out that fire NOW.
This is the Food Heals Podcast. Our mission is to teach people that the body is designed to heal itself when given the tools it needs to do so. To stop outsourcing our health to doctors and to take out health into our own hands. I promote nutrition and alternative medicine and healing yourself mind body and spirit.
But what about the people who can't afford healthy food? When people in low income communities of color cannot afford to eat well, cannot afford to go to a holistic doctor, do not even have access to healthy food because they live in a food desert, there is something very wrong in our society. And it is up to us to fix it.
We have to be activists, now more than ever. The systemic racism in our country has gone on far too long and it is time to stop being sad about it and start taking massive action.
So what can we do?
Listen, Love, Educate, Donate, Volunteer, March, Say Their Names, Use Our Platforms for Good, Amplify Voices of Color, and Vote for the World We Want to See.
We have to be willing to learn and listen. We must be willing to change. We have to act.
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."- MLK, Jr."
Stand up, Say your piece. Shine your light.

Food Heals
06/11/24 • 61 min
Do you struggle with IBD or severe IBS? Constant pain and chronic fatigue? Always worrying about where the bathroom is? Medication dependence? Being unable to enjoy food? Then this episode is for you.
Approximately 1.6 million Americans currently have IBD, an increase of about 200,000 since the last time the CCFA reported this figure in 2011. And these are just the reported cases, so the actual number is much higher.
The truth is that medications don’t fix IBD. But my guest today does.
Josh has perfected what he calls The Gut Health Solution. His proven process works so well that even doctors have said, “That’s impossible!”
Today's guest, Josh Dech, shares exactly how and why it IS possible. Josh is an ex-paramedic, holistic nutritionist, medical lecturer, and physician’s consultant for IBD and other complex digestive diseases. He lives in Calgary, Alberta, and works with clients all over the world to help them naturally repair their gut and stay healthy.

Tina realized that the old adage was true, “All disease begins in the gut.” Every time we eat or drink or expose ourselves to chemicals, toxins and hormones, we are either feeding disease or fighting it! With her newfound knowledge, Tina went on a mission to help others heal their guts holistically and choose probiotics over pharmaceuticals.
She learned quickly that in order to rebalance your gut, you need to take a daily probiotic that actually works, meaning the friendly bacteria (probiotics) win out the every day battle over the bad bacteria - AND actually stay alive once it hits your gut, (not just in the fridge.) What Tina discovered was that the majority of probiotics on the market simply aren’t working, they are not natural, and they are not alive. Tina and Billy worked closely with Dr. Simon Cutting, a world-renowned probiotic expert at London University Royal Holloway, to gain access to the most widely studied and used probiotic strains in the world.That's when Just Thrive Probiotic & Antioxidant was born!
Think of your gut like a garden. When you add Just Thrive® Probiotic, you’re enabling your gut to bloom into a beautiful garden of good, healthy bacteria! These probiotic strains go in like little gardeners, removing the weeds (bad bacteria and pathogens) and actively manage the soil by fertilizing it with potent and necessary antioxidants. In the end, you have a beautiful, healthy garden of gut health that makes the rest of your body happy, from the inside out.Tune in to learn:
[5:25] The importance of gut health and the roles of good and bad bacteria
[12:08] The truth about hand sanitizer
[19:10] Eating soil?! Find out how spore-based probiotics can significantly enhance your immune system!
[24:20] Antioxidants, probiotics, prebiotics... What are they and how do they help our gut health? How much do we actually need every day?
[30:37] The probiotic that WORKS: Why is Thrive Health so different and what makes spore-based probiotic so important
[32:40] OMG! How spore-based probiotics saved a marriage!
[37:10] Your little fluffy ones are vulnerable too! Learn how to heal your pets’ gut from the inside out!

Quotables:
“We have got to start not being so fearful or stressed out in order to protect our gut microbiome and therefore, protect our immune system.”
– Tina Andersen
“To be a good probiotic it needs to be alive. The thing is, it doesn’t need to be alive in the refrigerator or at the health food store. It needs to be alive when it’s in your intestines.”
– Tina Andersen
“It’s hard to find any disease that’s not associated with an imbalanced gut. And so, people may go to the product because they have gas or are bloated. But the side effects may include more energy, better weight management, better mood...”
– Tina Andersen
“We will only bring products that are missing and needed in the market.”
– Tina Andersen

Today she is an herbalist, nutritionist, health educator, and a dedicated mother of three with a passion for food, herbs, medicinal mushrooms, sustainability, and community.
