Health & Wellness Show On The Relentless Search f=For Truth

70% of Americans who are in the hospital are there because of their dietary habits and lifestyles. The U.S. adult obesity rate is at 42.4%. It’s the first time the national rate has passed the 40% mark. Since 2008 it has increased by 26%. And they are calling it an obesity crisis. Today on Discovering True Health we are going to learn successful healthy ways to reduce our weight without going on a diet or calorie counting. We are also going to be learning how to properly read labels on packaged food, the harmful ingredients to look out for, and how to not be duped by these health gimmick marketing ads and labels that are completely manipulative, dishonest, and false. My guest is David Medansky, an international award-winning best-selling author, Founder of 21-Day Jumpstart Weight Loss Program, and a former divorce attorney.
David teaches how to improve your eating habits so you can lose weight, have more energy, feel better, look better, and enhance your overall health without going on a diet. The foods we consume are so important and most of us take our health for granted until we loose it.. An extensive new study on diet trends around the globe ties poor eating habits to 11 million deaths around the world in 2017. Check out the show to learn how to avoid foods that even I thought were healthy!

Recent research shows that 1-10 people experience gastrointestinal symptom after a meal. Over the last decade the amount of people experiencing theses issues have been exponentially increasing. Also one of the biggest ways that mold exposure affects your gut health is by changing your gut microbiota. The mycotoxins not only increase harmful bacteria but it also decreases your beneficial bacteria. Mold exposure can also cause a decrease in the levels of short-chain fatty acids that your intestines produce. Today Discovering True Health we’re going to talk about what can cause gastrointestinal issues, and specifically how mold exposure can damage gut health. We’ll also be learning about some great natural at home interventions to help restore our gut lining. Leslie Cannon is creator of KePro, a supplement that supports the body and gut health.

There is an estimated 46 million people held in modern-day slavery today in what we call the human trafficking business...which is more than any other time in human history. 21% are being sex trafficked which is rape for hire. And the remaining 79% is physical labor held by force or terror. The victims of this are overwhelmingly the poor and especially poor women and children. This is happening right underneath our noses. There are approximately 125k ads online everyday in the US for people being advertised for purchase.The cities in the US that report the most incidents are California, Texas, Florida, and New York. A report from the Freedom Thought Project shows that 88% of missing sex trafficked children come from the US foster care system. This is something we all need to be aware of, and bring more awareness too, and have a lot more conversations about. And not only awareness but each of us needs to take action in any way we can. My guest, Angela Featherstone is founder of The Fostering Care Healing School. Which is a non profit healing school for youth aging out of foster care, who’s goal is to not only help these children heal but to thrive.

His first book, where he received a scholarly award, “My Health is Your Wealth” is based on Ayurveda and candida.

The anthocyanins in boysenberry and blackcurrant are well documented in internationally science reviewed papers for their positive effects on the lungs and immunity in general. Fortunately, our lungs are the first out of any of our body’s organs to receive the benefits of consumed and absorbed bioactives (after our liver). This means that consumption of powerful bioactives will result in benefits to the lungs early. My guests are Anna Campbell who has her PhD in plant biotechnology and has extensive scientific and commercial experience and Darcy Schack who suffers from an inflammatory autoimmune disease and has done extensive research into looking for plant compounds that would complement and sometimes replace the pharmaceuticals he was taking. They will be sharing how to how bioactives can help rehab damaged lungs from chronic illness and the science behind it. Plus they will be sharing practices we can all implement to improve our lung health. Anna and Darcy are founders of Zestt Wellness and together they have worked to develop natural products to support immunity, lung health, and general health. Their first product is a nutraceutical called EXhale that has immune boosting bioactives that help reduce inflammation, phlegm and support your immune system and help improve lung damage.

Hormones are fundamental to all the systems of your body. A recent study of 2,000 women found that 47% experienced the symptoms of a hormone imbalance. And 72% of the women in that study were unaware of the potential implications of hormones, and the causes and symptoms of hormone imbalances. Also, low testosterone affects almost 40% of men aged 45 and older. On today’s episode we are going to learn all about hormone imbalances, signs and symptoms, testing and root causes, and actionable steps to take to help rebalance our hormones and prevent imbalances with my guest Naturopathic Physician Dr. Clayton Bostock. 
 In his work his approach is an integration of naturopathic & functional medicine with biohacking principles of environment, lifestyle, mindset & nutrition to reverse chronic conditions and create vibrant, long-term well-being. He uses a simple and straight forward approach that focusses not on treating disease, but rather treating and recognizing each person as a unique individual.
