Ep 80. This week's episode is with none other than the amazing Michelle Shapiro! In this insightful conversation, Michelle, a Holistic RD and self-proclaimed "Queen of the Middle Ground," shares her expertise after years of working with over a thousand clients. Michelle's approach to functional nutrition involves understanding the unique story of each individual, their environment, and the timeline that led them to their current situation. By identifying the root causes, she aims to heal issues rather than just managing them superficially. For instance, there's a big difference between avoiding certain foods for acid reflux versus understanding the deeper reasons behind the issue.
Here's the juice:
- how Michelle lost 100lbs the WRONG way before becoming a dietitian (and how this led to hypothyroidism)
- how almost anything that happens emotionally manifests physically, giving a whole new level of validation to symptoms that are "all in your head”
- anxiety is a sacred messenger telling you something that needs to be addressed in your body (nutrient deficiencies, blood sugar dysregulation, etc.)
- the root causes of anxiety and digestive disorders
- what “intuitive eating” actually is + misconceptions
- the extremes in the nutrition world of “no foods are toxic everything is a chemical" vs “all food must be perfectly clean”
- why there are no “gut healing foods” that work for everyone
- emotional and physical factors that contribute to binge eating and how to have compassion for our bodies trying to cope with big emotions

Ep 82. This week Nick and I are on the mic basking in our wedding glow and answering some of the most common questions we've received. A year ago we had no idea where we wanted to have our wedding, how to find a planner, and what we wanted to do to make our day feel like "us". We pulled it off and managed to achieve our perfect day!
Here's the juice:
- what we loved and what we didn't love
- things worth spending on versus things we didn't need to spend on
- the ceremony and ritual elements that we worked into the flow of our day
- our private ceremony that we did all alone
- the rituals we did before the wedding day to help us step into our new roles as husband and wife
- the pros of having a welcome party the night before
- why we chose not to drink during our wedding and the benefits of being sober during your wedding day
- how we worked with our officiant beforehand to weave our own tradition into our ceremony
- the changes we felt after getting married and our post-wedding plans!

Ep 75. In this episode of What’s the Juice, I had the honor of chatting with brain-genius Louisa Nicola, Founder & Director of Neuro Athletics: a data-driven neuroscience company that provides athletes with scientific strategies to achieve peak performance. Tune in as we delve into the nitty gritty science of how the brain works, and what you can do specifically from home to optimize neuroplasticity and cognition, including:
SLEEP
- Minimum 8 hours each night, following the 80% rule
- Natural sunlight as soon as you wake up, for at least 5 minutes
- Avoiding and/or dimming artificial light come evening
- Pitch-black environment for optimal sleep
AEROBIC EXERCISE
- Zone 2 Training — achieve about 65% of your maximum heart rate
- For example: Walk an incline of ~8-10 around a speed of 3.8 mph for around 30 minutes
ANAEROBIC EXERCISE
- Focus on 70% of your 1-repetition max (find the maximum weight you can handle for 1 rep, then use 70% of that weight for at least 6 sets/4 reps each)
- Learn how to squat well and focus on compound movements
- Invest in a trainer over supplements
STRESS
- Inhale twice, then exhale (this mimics crying/hyperventilation)
- Infrared light to reduce neural inflammation
- Ice baths to create new mitochondria
- Two grams of both EPA and DHA daily

EP. #17 A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TO LYME DISEASE — Richard Mandelbaum’s powerful philosophy on treating chronic illness
What's The Juice
05/25/20 • 99 min
THIS WEEK ON WHAT’S THE JUICE PODCAST
Unless you’re new here, you’ve most likely heard me gush about my experience at ArborVitae School of Traditional Herbalism. Now, I haven’t always been a total herb nerd. This interest of mine was first ignited when I started buying supplements on Amazon and it quickly spiraled into a full-blown passion that just won’t quit!
A few years ago I followed my gut to ArborVitae and I can say with 100% certainty that it was the right choice for me. I’ve learned SO much since I first started my program and it’s all thanks to my incredible, inspiring, brilliant teachers.
This episode of What’s The Juice is a super special one for me because I get to introduce you to someone I’ve mentioned many times before: Richard Mandelbaum. Richard and Claudia Keel founded ArborVitae, and they’re the quintessential yin and yang team. In herbalism speak, where Claudia is the flower essence, Richard is the spleen qi... and they are both major herbalist GOALS.
Richard’s classes are full of Chinese Medicine (be still my heart), and he’s always encouraging his students to look at human health in a balanced way. He’s a Leo — so it’s no wonder that I resonate with him — but it’s his Aquarius moon AND Aquarius rising that make him such an innovator. Not only did he co-found an herbalism school in New York City, he’s also playing a vital role in shifting the way modern medicine approaches Lyme disease.
Ready to get schooled by Richard Mandelbaum? (You’re gonna love it — I swear!)

EP. #15 - WHO IS SHE? MEET THE HERB - Avena Sativa: to restore frazzled nerves & replenish your adrenals
What's The Juice
05/11/20 • 35 min
Welcome back to another installment of WHO IS SHE. This week we’re getting to know a plant I think we can all vibe with right now... it’s our girl, AVENA SATIVA.
So, technically our girl avena sativa isn’t an adaptogen but she totally moonlights as one. Avena is actually a nervine that responds well to adaptogens so she’s often combined with them so she can work her healing magic. She’s nourishing, lubricating, and gentle... so it shouldn’t be a surprise to learn that she’s one of the most comforting foods I can think of: Oatmeal.

EP. #13 — WHEN SPIRIT AND SCIENCE COLLIDE — Dr. Dani's journey to healing her brain tumor
What's The Juice
04/27/20 • 85 min
Episode #13 of What’s The Juice? is packed with real stories that I hope will inspire you to dig deep and get in touch with your intuition and inherent healing powers. To say I was moved AF barely scratches the surface of all the feels that came up for me during this conversation with Dr. Dani Olsen... and I just can’t wait for you to hear all about what she does and some absolutely incredible experiences she’s had.
Dr. Dani Olsen is a real-life unicorn. She’s a chiropractor, craniosacral therapist, reiki master, intuitive, qigong practitioner, and is currently studying somiatry (body/mind/spirit healing). Pretty legit, right?

EP. #14 - WHO IS SHE? MEET THE HERB - Agrimony: for liver health, gut dysbiosis, and jaw tension
What's The Juice
05/04/20 • 41 min
Well, the time has come and this episode is just me, my microphone, and my herbalism school notes.... And I gotta admit, I freaking loved recording this episode because it gave me the opportunity to spill the juice on something I’m so so SO passionate about. As if it wasn’t already clear that talking about herbs turns me into a serious Nerd with a capital N, this episode totally gives me away.
Okay, so here are some fast facts about agrimony...
Agrimony’s general profile:
- It’s a part of the rose family
- It’s a liver support herb (In fact, its common name is ‘liverwort’. Cute, right?)
- It’s an astringent, so it’s cooling and drying
- Its flavor is bitter, pungent, with a mild sweet and sour
Are you ready? Because I’m about to go into full-on herbalist mode and I hope you’re here for it!

EP. #12 — IS "DAMPNESS" MESSING WITH YOUR DIGESTION? - Traditional Chinese Medicine's take on gut dysbiosis & liver health
What's The Juice
04/20/20 • 64 min
This week, on What's the Juice, I'm joined by Dr. Kara of Aculand Acupuncture for a very timely episode all about the gut, digestion, dampness, and gut dysbiosis — exactly the topics we need to focus on right now. We also give a juicy introduction to the Qi. Qi is the term used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to describe your body’s vital life energy. It's necessary for all life processes: proper organ function, circulation of blood, metabolism of body fluid, warming the body, defending against illness, and transforming food into energy. This episode specifically covers liver Qi stagnation. What lifestyle choices are we making that disrupt our live Qi? What are the most common symptoms? What herbs have been shown to be beneficial?
We also cover several self acupuncture points that help us regenerate our Qi, plus tips on keeping our digestive fires going strong.
This is a concentrated episode with a lot of useful information packed into a nerdy conversation. I hope you love it!

Ep 68. Did you know you might be mal-illuminated? If you’re not getting enough exposure to full-spectrum UV light (aka soaking up some sun), your cells might not be working as well as they should. Here to *enlighten* us about how our bodies use UV light and how red light therapy can be beneficial is physical therapist and founder/CEO of BioLight, Dr. Mike Belkowski.
We’ll go over how red light and infrared light therapy works, some of the things it can be used for, and why we all probably need to get outside more. Let’s get juicy!
PS - Thanks to Dr. Mike, I started using a travel-sized red light device from his line called the Shine. I became a believer when my digestion was off the day we filmed this podcast, and he told me to put it directly on my stomach for 10 minutes and see if I felt a difference. Not only did my stomach ache get better – my mind felt calmer too, which he explained is because red light therapy works on the gut-brain axis. I’ve truly loved this device ever since and keep it next to my bed in case I wake up in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep (a few minutes on my forehead or stomach works like a charm to calm my mind down). I’ve also used it for headaches and a mood boost in the winter months!
If you feel inspired after hearing about red light and want to try the same device I use, BioLight extended code ORGANICOLIVIA (all caps) for a discount on any of their products.
