228. Will Cole: Intuitive Fasting, the Inflammation Spectrum, Healing & Functional Medicine

03/17/21 • 74 min

Dr. Will Cole's tailored, integrative approach to functional medicine has helped thousands worldwide find the root causes of chronic disease and autoimmune issues. As Jordan continues to heal & gets ready to unleash her long-anticipated Celestial Diet to the world, it's been hugely expansive to have experts on the podcast sharing their insights into holistic food, health, and happiness.

Dr. Will is a proponent of finding homeostasis in the body to reset our fast-and-furious relationship with food and educate ourselves on how we interact with eating and our bodies. This episode dissects the scientific benefits of INTUITIVE intermittent fasting in great detail, separating the facts from the fad and reframing any triggering aspects that could have scared you away from leaning into what is a very natural and inclusive lifestyle. The great news is that you can integrate so many food modalities into the fasting framework (including plant-based), enjoy your coffee with oat milk (like Jordan does!), and still reap the rewards.

So many people suffering from chronic illness turn to Dr. Cole for guidance. His second book, “The Inflammation Spectrum,” was transformative for Jordan’s battle with inflammation, and he has so many tools listeners can start implementing right away. It’s incredible to hear that, even after all this success, multiple book deals, and media presence, he still packs his day with consultations and spends a year and a half with most patients on their journey to healing.

As always, there’s a sprinkle of spirituality as Dr. Cole opens up about integrating mindfulness into his everyday life, his recent foray into astrology, business goals, and so much more!! Plus, they are both Libras. ;)

Ep 227 ft. Annie Lawless: Founder of Suja Juice & Lawless Beauty on All Things Entrepreneurial, Wellness, Motherhood & Clean Makeup

Jordan’s longtime friend and incredible creative entrepreneur Annie Lawless joins the show today in this episode about creating brands, healing, wellness, family and the OG blogging life. Annie is the co-founder of Suja Juice & founder + CEO of Lawless Beauty, as well as a new mama and a true wellness guru.

If you’re looking for the go-ahead on your business idea, then Annie’s incredible insights and tips will inspire you to no end. Suja Juice was born from a pure passion for clean living. It started as a home delivery service, which coincidentally is how she met her now-husband, which we talk about! Now it’s a nation-wide company & a household name. Her most recent clean makeup venture, Lawless Beauty, snowballed from a petite lipstick collection to a full-on portfolio that’s taken Sephora by storm. You’ll get all the inside scoop on the latest products and the magic happening behind the scenes.

There’s a nostalgic walk down memory lane as “grad-school dropouts,” with flashbacks to their blogging days and being part of the wellness scene when it was in infancy. Annie gives us an update on how her life has changed since becoming a mother to a darling daughter, Daisy, and her newfound appreciation for a quiet and fulfilling family life.

229. Jane & Byron Younger: My Parents on Healing, Spirituality, Plant Based Life, & My Awakening

FAN FAVORITE ALERT! Jordan’s parents Jane & Byron Younger are back on the show!

In this deep and intimate chat, Jane & Byron take a walk down memory lane and talk all about what it was like raising Jordan. They open up about their unique parenting styles, the spiritual lifestyle hacks they’ve adopted from their adventurous daughter, and how it’s been watching her evolve into the creative entrepreneur and “cosmic” being (Byron’s actual words!) she is today.

Like so many last year, their lives were touched by Covid and they both had a difficult recovery journey. They discuss how they found the physical and mental strength to heal, and how the experience shifted their perspective on alternative medicine and chronic illness.

They’re now both seeing Jordan’s Chinese medicine doctor, eating plant-based, drinking celery juice, and watching Ayahuasca documentaries. ;) It just goes to show that we’re constantly evolving and becoming bigger and versions of ourselves in all stages of life. We hope this inspires others to have these deep conversations with their parents and that people are open to evolving at any age.

Thanks to everyone for sending positive energy while they were healing. They’ve both been such influential guides and mirrors to Jordan’s life, so it’s incredible to share a snapshot of their family with Jordan’s other family – all of you!

Thanks to Pure Synergy for sponsoring this episode. This all-natural, organic, and sustainable supplement resource has supported Jordan’s healing journey in so many ways. Their carefully curated whole-food formulas are a wonderful way to upgrade your health and make you look and feel amazing.
