Did you know that fasting is like sleep and not a diet fad?
In this episode, Kashif is joined by best-selling author Dr. Mindy Pelz. Mindy is a holistic health expert whose focus is on fasting and women's health. Dr. Mindy Pelz currently has four books authored in which she shares her expertise, the latest being "Fast Like a Girl". Her work has allowed people to get to the root cause and unlock their bodies' healing capabilities by simply making proper lifestyle choices and changes to the way they view health.
Women's health is one of the biggest gaps in healthcare even in this day and age. Written data mostly focus on studying data on biologically male patients, leaving the rest of the population with health practices that are not optimized for their biological framework. This is where Dr. Mindy comes in as she tackles fasting, diets, and hormones of women, and eagerly looking for topics that haven't been tackled yet with regards to women's health.
Kashif and Dr. Mindy discuss how important it is to understand each day of the menstrual cycle, and how a woman should fast and work towards improving her health. They dive deep into "Fast Like a Girl" which contains all the information that Dr. Mindy has garnered throughout her years in the healthcare industry dedicated to accomplishing a women's health revolution. This includes the intimate connection among estrogen, dopamine, and serotonin, as well as hormonal dips throughout a woman's cycle and proper fasting and diet. This episode will guide you in managing stress levels that are affected by hormones, and will also contribute to getting rid of waste in your body that prevent you from doing things that bring you joy.

He has a Bachelor of Human Kinetics, a Masters of Chiropractic, is about to complete his Masters of Research and has just started his PhD at the University of Sydney. Adam specialises in a soft tissue technique called Active Release Techniques® (ART) and is a full body certified ART provider.
Adam is a certified member and specialist instructor of the Swiss DolorClast® Academy, and has trained practitioners in the use of shock wave therapy internationally since 2016.

Kashif and Adam discuss the wonders that Shock Wave Therapy is able to bring to the table - having both experienced it themselves, and Adam certified to implement the practice for over 7 years.
Shock Wave Therapy takes chiropractic services a step above with sound waves that travel to your body that bring beneficial effects on soft tissues. The way that this functions is through the release of cavitation bubbles which Adam discusses with Kashif, explaining that this was first discovered when it was used for internal methods that breaks kidney stones with the side effect of making back pain better.
Throughout the episode, here are the other points that were discussed by Kashif and Adam:

  • The story behind Adam and how chiropractic practice and shockwave therapy has helped him
  • How Adam implements shock wave therapy
  • What a 'normal' body feels like
  • Pain as your body's signal to indicate something wrong
  • Treating symptoms instead of masking
  • Back pain, and all other aches in the body

There are some health issues that come from where you least expect it!
In this episode, Kashif is joined by Ivy-league Nutritionist Sally K. Norton, MPH. Sally holds a nutrition degree from Cornell University and a master’s degree in Public Health. Her path to becoming a leading expert on dietary oxalate includes a prior career working at major medical schools in medical education and public health research. Her personal healing experience inspired years of research that led to her book, Toxic Superfoods, which was released in January 2023 from Rodale Press and is available everywhere books are sold.
The term superfoods is usually known to refer to food that keep us healthy but what if these superfoods actually do the exact opposite? That is where Sally and Kashif's discussion takes you as they delve into what these superfoods contain. Oxalate is the specific chemical that may be found in food. It is rarely discussed but it greatly impacts our health as soon as it diffuses into our body's cells.
Some of the aspects that oxalates may affect include membrane damage, oxidative strains on cells, inflammation, metabolism, and the lining of the gut. When these go unnoticed they may lead to fibrosis, cyst problems, and other autoimmune problems.
With this in mind, Kashif and Sally touched on the following points to contribute to the knowledge of why it is important to be keen on what we consume:

  • Toxic Superfoods such as almonds, chocolates, pseudo-grains, and some vegetables.
  • How molds produce oxalate
  • Oxalate solubility and its relation to health and oxalate poisoning
  • Sally's pantry and food intake advice
  • Ways to get around oxalated food
  • When symptoms show and the actions that must be taken
  • How to be mindful of mistakes and evaluating your overall consumption throughout your whole life

Breast cancer diagnoses in younger women (under 50) have been steadily increasing over the past two decades, with a notable rise in recent years. From 2010 to 2019, there was an 8% increase in breast cancer diagnoses in women under 50. During this age, the early 40s, breast cancer is more aggressive and more challenging to detect early. With that in mind, what are the markers to watch for and preventive strategies to ensure you and your family won't develop breast cancer?
In this episode, Dr. Stephanie Nielsen is joined by Alison Myers, founder of AIVM Consultants, a distinguished figure in the realm of personal growth and business development – a visionary whose unique blend of experience, insight, and unconventional methods have marked a pioneering presence in the coaching and consulting landscape.

Together, they discuss the importance of looking into family history, lifestyle choices, and the importance of genetic testing in order to explore common genetic markers such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. They dive deeper into this by looking into the case of Olivia Munn to look into how advanced screening led to her diagnosis and what you can do better as compared to a mastectomy.
