ReThink Health with Dr. Autumn Smith

The incidence of food reactions (allergies, intolerances, sensitivities) is on the rise. But what many people don't know is that it is possible to heal certain types of food reactions. (Celiac Disease and food allergies, being a notable exception:) When my son was younger he reacted to several foods like wheat, corn, dairy and sometimes even chocolate. And while the elimination diet did help us manage his symptoms - avoiding so many foods was stressful, especially as he started going to school. Thankfully, my dear friend Steven Wright (engineer, gut expert and founder of Healthy Gut) helped me heal my son's food sensitivities from the root. Today, my son can essentially eat all foods except for those that contain gluten. This change was so miraculous for our family, that I invited Steven on to the podcast this week so that he can teach you all how to heal food sensitivities from the root. Here are some of the fascinating tidbits we cover: What causes food sensitivities? The difference between food sensitivities and food allergies 3 little known reasons the incidence of food reaction is rising Why PPIs can be dangerous Why stomach acid is not the enemy The most common food reactions 3 issues that underlie food sensitivities The incredible importance of short chain fatty acid (and how to find them) Why food elimination diets are not enough The 4 steps for healing food reactions The best supplements for healing food sensitivities How to prevent food allergies and sensitivities in kids And so much more!

Did you know that, as a woman, your cholesterol and blood sugar levels will be higher at certain times of your menstrual cycle? Which can not only affect how you feel and what you should eat, but may also affect whether or not you're prescribed medication. Women are also stronger, smarter and calmer during certain periods of the cycle, and should eat more carbs and avoid fasting at other times. Sadly, because most health-based research has been based on men, most women never understand these important nuances. Which is why in today's podcast with bestselling author, keynote speaker, nutrition and functional health and fasting expert, Dr. Mindy Pelz, we talk all about why women MUST approach their health differently and how to customize your diet and lifestyle to leverage your hormone-centric advantages. Here are some of the fascinating takeaways: How cholesterol levels change during your cycle Why glucose levels are higher at certain times in your cycle Is higher cholesterol dangerous for women? A little-known underlying cause of high cholesterol in women The negative impact of statins on the brain What women MUST know to fully understand their health When you are the strongest and most capable during your cycle When to eat more carbs during your cycle The hormone that protects your brain What to eat at different parts of your cycle What a hormone feast is and how to do it When you should always avoid alcohol The 4 components of a fasting lifestyle When to do a carnivore diet and when to eat more veggies When to use the sauna, red light and cold therapy during your cycle Hyperbaric oxygen and its utility for healing hormones And so much more!

Current protein recommendations also represent a minimum rather than an ideal protein intake and the highest quality sources of protein (animal products) are often demonized.
