In today's episode, we're talking about the gut-brain connection. What if I told you that your gut bacteria might be controlling your focus, mood, and even your ability to sit still? Unbelievable, right? Well, like gravity, you don’t have to believe it for it to be true.

Research is becoming more and more convincing that the symptoms or disease states we medicate like, depression, ADHD, and even anxiety are not actually starting in our brain... but in our digestive tract!

Today, we’re breaking down the science behind the gut-brain connection, how your 40 trillion bacteria in your gut are controlling neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, and what you can do to improve focus and mood—naturally!

Today we are talking about our home, excess, climate-controlled environments and what behavior is equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

4 non-negotiables for a health-accumulating life:

Step 1 make your home a sanctuary.

- It should be the easiest place in your life to eat whole nutrient dense foods. - The best place to get a great night of sleep.

- A place where you watch, listen to, and talk about uplifting things. Consider all the things outside of your control already, why not set your home up to be a peaceful place, where you eat your meals, sleep, relate with your family and demonstrate hospitality?

I'll walk through all four of these non-negotiables in today's episode.

In today's episode, I'm talking about how weight loss medications work in the body and what happens if there are no coinciding lifestyle changes. Ozempic, or semaglutide, mimics a hormone called GLP-1, which your body naturally produces after eating.

Patients come to me having started on these medications with the promise of easy weight loss, yet they are consuming processed foods, not given any strength training plan and sent out the door with their weekly injection.

This not only leads to failure to thrive, but sabotages the potential benefits that could come from using a drug that makes it easier to improve food habits, since appetite is suppressed.
