I had to figure out how to decrease the amount of blue light (screens, iPad & phone) I saw at night. The more blue light you see, the more it slows down your production of melatonin (among many other things), and the next thing you know, you're getting a second wind at midnight. No, thank you.
I have this shield on my phone and iPad. It lowers the blue light, and I can't tell it's on my devices; win-win!

55: Things I Wish I Would Have Known 30 Years Ago, Episode 4: Taking Better Care of My Teeth Can Lower My Risk of Cancer.

55: Things I Wish I Would Have Known 30 Years Ago, but I know them now!
Episode 4: Taking better care of my teeth can lower my risk of cancer.
And according to Dr. Kelly Blodgett, that doesn’t only mean brushing or flossing. He explained in our podcast that high-quality saliva leads to a healthier body. How do I improve the quality of my saliva? Find ten to fifteen minutes per day of peace. How does this help your oral health? When you start to relax, your blood flow is better all over your body, including your mouth. When the blood flow is good to your mouth, your saliva improves, which will then impact your gut health. When your gut health is better, YOUR HEALTH IMPROVES!
I encourage you to listen to our episode, Can Root Canals Contribute to Cancer Risk?
In our interview, we discuss holistic dentistry and how the health of your mouth can impact every cell in your body.
Ensure you follow Dr. B.; he posts thought-provoking content on his social channels.

The second podcast I unpacked in this episode is with Keith Bishop, a clinical nutritionist and retired pharmacist. The title is Daily Habits to Prevent and Fight Cancer!
My takeaway today was that let's not make cancer prevention too complicated; there are simple habits we can incorporate daily that can knock down our risk.
Move a bit more each day.
Cut back on sugar and alcohol.
Don't drink super-hot beverages (darn it! I love my piping hot tea :)
Keith also told me that while colon cancer risk seems to be going down for older folks, colon cancer in younger people is on the rise. Why?
Keith believes a sedentary lifestyle is a significant contributor.

54. Is the air in your home making you sick? A surprising conversation with an air quality expert.

54. Is the air in your home making you sick? A surprising conversation with an air quality expert.
I admit that after thirty years in this field, I assume that most of my "health decisions" are correct.
Yet, whenever I record a podcast, I discover more things I'm doing wrong!
GRRRRR….
At this point, I have two options:
Get frustrated at everything "I've yet to do…"
OR
Understand that knowledge is power, and one day at a time, incorporate new habits that can help lower disease risk.
Of course, I'm choosing choice number 2! The small changes I make will eventually create a more significant impact.
Fast forward to my conversation today with air quality expert Michael Rubino.
Michael shared some recent studies that discovered a link between many cancers and air quality. My first thought was, "Sure, I can understand poor air quality and the link to lung cancer," but no, the study suggested that poor air quality can contribute to breast, pancreatic, and many other types of cancer.
What?!
The authors explained that pollution can impact our DNA and alter our immune response. This can increase inflammation, which contributes to cancer growth. The authors also suggested that in the case of digestive cancers, pollution can affect gut health and influence cancer development.
Okay, now what? How do we make our homes safer without breaking the bank?
Michael suggested some easy fixes, such as changing out your HVAC filter more regularly and having a good air purifier in the house.
Give today's podcast a listen to learn how to test your home for air pollution and get more of Michael's great tips!

07. Chris Beat Cancer, attitude is everything!

07. Chris Beat Cancer, attitude is everything!
Chris and I discussed the power of attitude in healing. 
 
In a world gone mad, attitude and outlook are the only things you have control over. You are in control of your reactions to other people, and situations-that's it!
 
When we begin to realize that our outlook is the only factor we can control, then we have the opportunity to manage our stress in a more powerful way.
 
According to Chris, stress is the single most important factor--the one barrier to healing cancer--that is most often ignored. You can do everything right: diet, supplements, and every therapy under the sun, but you need to address the stress to get well.
 
Chris was diagnosed with stage IIIC colon cancer in 2003, at 26 years old. He had surgery but refused chemotherapy. Chris chose faith over fear and changed his entire life; he used hardcore nutrition and natural therapies to heal. His doctor told him he was "Insane," but he was wrong. Today, Chris is a best-selling author, blogger, global health & cancer coach, and speaker.

53: Can Grass-Fed Meat be Healing for You and the Planet? A Conversation with ButcherBox Founder Mike Salguero

53: Can Grass-Fed Meat be Healing for You and the Planet? A Conversation with ButcherBox Founder Mike Salguero
I'm always interested to understand a person's WHY.
 
WHY did you start that business, or WHY do you feel that way about a topic?
 
It's no secret how I feel about ButcherBox, and last week; I got to sit down with the founder, Mike Salguero.
 
His WHY made me a bit emotional. His wife was ill, and they were trying to find grass-fed beef for the recommended anti-inflammatory diet. They couldn't it so they bought half a cow! They couldn't eat it all, so they sold the meat to friends, and ButcherBox was born.
 
Mike is a visionary who genuinely wants to make high-quality protein available to everyone, no matter their budget.

40: Why Does God Allow Suffering?

40: Why Does God Allow Suffering?
A candid conversation with Tara Leigh Cobble of the Bible Recap
 
Confession time! This seems fitting since I just interviewed one of the most popular bible teachers on the planet. 😊
I bought my first bible when I was in my thirties. I tried hard to understand it, but I often got more confused. Finally, I connected with proverbs; that chapter was easy to understand because I could quickly apply it to my daily life.
I discovered today's guest, Tara Leigh Cobble (TLC), a few months ago; she has a podcast where she makes the bible both fun and interesting, all in less than ten minutes a day! I can do that!
I had many questions for God during my cancer journey, like why did this happen to me? I exercise and eat healthy food, and I'm nice to people. Why, why, and more why?
I wanted to see what God had to say about suffering, so I went to the top to get answers about what God says about cancer and other diseases. Can it make us better people? Is there a reason we suffer?
I must tell you that Tara Leigh has had more than her fair share of suffering, including being electrocuted during surgery to repair her heart.
Give today's episode a listen; it might answer some questions you didn't even know you had!
 
Tara-Leigh Cobble (taraleighcobble.com) is the creator and host of The Bible Recap podcast and the author of the book by the same name. She founded D-Group, an international network of weekly discipleship and Bible study groups, and she hosts a daily radio show called The God Shot. She lives in Dallas, TX.

I love using Bison! It's very nutrient dense and contains conjugated linoleic acid (I know, what the heck does that mean?), which means Bison has anti-inflammatory properties.
Here are the other reasons why I love using Bison in place of ground beef:
Higher amounts of omega three fatty acids.
More b12, zinc, iron, and selenium than beef.
Some studies show it's got four times the vitamin E compared to beef.
Lower in calories and cholesterol.
It is lower fat, so it will cook faster than ground beef.

52: Does Glyphosate Contribute to Cancer?

52: Does Glyphosate contribute to cancer?
This podcast made me both sad and MAD. I interviewed Glyphosate Girl, Kelly Ryerson about the damage glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup) does to our environment and our bodies.
Kelly Ryerson has spent years in the trenches explaining to anyone who would listen why this chemical is so dangerous. It’s such an easy default to just use a heavy load of chemicals to kill weeks. Did you know that there are simple alternatives to using such a large amount of chemicals in farming?
Kelly also explained to me that while this product is sold in Europe, the company that makes Roundup has created a less toxic alternative for sale in Europe. This to me is mind-blowing! If they can make a less toxic version for Europe that still works, can’t one be made for the US as well?
Kelly Ryerson works at the intersection of agriculture and health. She regularly collaborates with farmers, scientists, policymakers, and media to address agrochemical damage to our soil and bodies. She also started the news site Glyphosate Facts, which explains the link between chemical agriculture and the explosion in chronic disease. Kelly has contributed to several documentaries and news publications, co-hosts the morning show on CHDtv, and is a frequent podcast speaker. She is an Ambassador for The Rodale Institute. She has a BA from Dartmouth College, an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and completed training in integrative health coaching at Duke Integrative Medicine. 
Check out Kelly’s website GlyphosateFacts.com, where she has multiple studies listed.
Please see Kelly’s list below for more information on glyphosate and health:

37: Daily Habits to Prevent and Fight Cancer!

37: Daily Habits to Prevent and Fight Cancer!
 
Today's podcast episode with Keith Bishop is a simple reminder that we can fight cancer or lower cancer risk through our daily habits.
My takeaway today was that let's not make cancer prevention too complicated; there are simple habits we can incorporate daily that can knock down our risk.
Move a bit more each day.
Cut back on sugar and alcohol.
Don't drink super-hot beverages (darn it! I love my piping hot tea 😊)
Keith also told me that while colon cancer risk seems to be going down for older folks, colon cancer in younger people is on the rise. Why?
Keith believes a sedentary lifestyle is a significant contributor. 
What that means to me is Get Up and Move, even if you add only a few sets of stairs or a quick walk after dinner.
My biggest takeaway from this conversation with Keith is that small changes can make a HUGE health impact!

51: Can Eating Organ Meats Help Prevent Cancer or Other Diseases? Getting Past the ICK FACTOR With Celebrity Chef, James Barry.

51: Can eating organ meats help prevent cancer or other diseases? Getting past the ICK FACTOR with celebrity chef, James Barry.
Did you know that eating organs can be good for you?
PLEASE KEEP READING!
Trust me, I get it. When people mentioned eating organ meat, I had flashbacks to my childhood and my grandma making liver and onions.
Believe me when I say it wasn't a positive experience.
Humans have eaten organ meats since prehistoric times, and they're rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids – including some that aren't commonly found in plant foods.
Today's podcast guest is James Barry, celebrity chef to George Clooney and Barbra Streisand (to namedrop a bit). James knows the power of eating organ meats but he also understands the ICK FACTOR.
That's why he created a super yummy way to include organ meats in your daily diet by using salt! He created a savory salt (to me it tastes like a healthy version of Lowery's season salt), and I use it on eggs, salads, and popcorn.
Listen to today's podcast to get the inside scoop on WHY organ meats are so important to consume and DID James cook organ meats for George Clooney.
James Barry’s 16 + years in the culinary field started as a private chef cooking for celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Mariska Hargitay, George Clooney, Gerard Butler, Sean “Puffy” Combs, Barbra Streisand, and John Cusack. Most recently, James launched his first functional food product, Pluck, an organ-based seasoning. It's the first of its kind and an amazingly easy and delicious way for people to get organ meats into their diet.
Follow James Barry on Instagram (@chefjamesbarry), and add more organ meat into your diet with Pluck!

18. Protect Your Peace to Prevent Disease (with Dr. Gregg Jantz)

18. Protect Your Peace to Prevent Disease (with Dr. Gregg Jantz)
 
Mental health, stress, and anxiety: we've all experienced these feelings.
 
I work to protect my peace.
 
What does that mean?
 
I'm careful about who is in my life, and I'm cautious about what I listen to because that goes directly to my mind.
 
Listen to today's podcast with Dr. Gregg Jantz to learn his easy tips to help you protect your peace. He was very clear with me that there are things we can do daily to have more peace and, thus, better health. Here are some of my favorite tips that I do daily to create more peace in my life (all of my tips received a big thumbs up from Dr. J!). I've worked hard to surround myself with encouraging and kind people.
I've also canceled our television cable, which allows me to choose how and when I hear the news.
 
I had to recognize what I could control to guard my peace.
 
What I can control today:
What I'm hearing.
What I'm eating and drinking.
How did I respond to negative situations or people?
My attitude.
That. Is. It.
 
Once I realized that I could control these things and only these things (newsflash, I had to learn I couldn't control people), my stress levels started to change, and I found my joy returning.
 
Here's the daily ritual I do to protect my peace:
I start my day with a glass of water while I look out my window and not at my PHONE.
I make a cup of coffee and walk outside, rain or shine, and look toward the sun, not at the sun as that can damage your eyes.
I return inside and read my Bible and write in my gratitude journal.
I take five deep breaths and do a little bit of stretching at the top of every hour.
 
Dr. Jantz is the founder of The Center A Place of HOPE in Edmonds, Washington, voted a Top Ten facility for Depression Treatment in the United States. Dr. Jantz pioneered Whole Person Care in the 1980s and is a world-renowned expert on depression, anxiety, eating disorders, technology addiction, and abuse.
Dr. Jantz is a best-selling author of 40 books and a go-to media authority on mental and behavioral health afflictions, appearing on CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, and CNN.
