In this episode, I sit down with Maggie Nick, founder of Camp Lovable, to unpack the deep conditioning so many women carry around being liked, chosen, and “enough.” We talk about people-pleasing, nervous system safety, and why hustling for your worth keeps you stuck.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how we talk about food, bodies, and health with our kids…and with ourselves. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Lauren Hartman to explore how parents can model kindness, trust their instincts, and help kids develop a healthy relationship with food without shame or rules.

Whether you’re navigating mealtimes, worried about eating habits, or just want practical ways to support your child’s well-being, this conversation is full of insights you can actually use. We also touch on early intervention, balancing nutrition with life’s realities, and why rest, self-compassion, and awareness can make all the difference. → Leave Us A Voice Message!  Topics Discussed: → How do I spot teen eating disorders? → Picky eating vs ARFID → What causes eating disorders in teens? → How should parents talk about food? → When should I worry about eating?

What if perimenopause isn’t a cliff, but a seven to ten year hormonal shift we were never properly taught about? Dr. Amy Shah returns to break down what’s actually happening during the hormone “havoc” phase, from fatigue and brain fog to mood changes and body composition shifts. We dive into the 30-30-3 nutrition framework, why protein and fiber matter more than ever, how fermented foods support estrogen balance, and the 4-3-2-1 movement plan to build strength, resilience, and longevity.

In this episode, I sit down with neuroscientist Louisa Nicola to unpack what women actually need to know about Alzheimer’s risk, cognitive decline, and long term brain protection. We break down APOE genetics, advanced blood biomarkers that can now detect amyloid and tau with remarkable accuracy, and why brain health is inseparable from metabolic health. Louisa explains how muscle acts as a metabolic sink for glucose, why resistance training and high intensity intervals stimulate BDNF, and how sleep drives the glymphatic system to clear amyloid from the brain.

In this episode, I sit down with Daria Mochly-Rosen to explore the powerful role mitochondria play in our energy, brain health, metabolism, and long term resilience. We talk about the science behind sleep, strength training, stress, and nutrition, and how simple daily habits can support better healthspan without falling into burnout or extreme biohacks. We also cover the cultural pressure to hustle nonstop, why slowing down is not a weakness, and how connection, family, and meaningful conversations can actually support your biology.

We talk about fertility through a completely different lens, not as a last stop after things go wrong, but as a powerful reflection of whole body health.

I’ll be honest, menopause used to feel like something I would deal with later, distant and a little intimidating. This conversation with Dr. Mindy Pelz completely reframed that for me. We talk about menopause as a neurological and metabolic reset, not a decline, and why so many women feel raw, overstimulated, or suddenly done with people pleasing when estrogen drops. Dr. Pelz explains what’s happening in the brain, why that shift can feel uncomfortable at first, and how it often signals clarity, stronger boundaries, and a deeper sense of self. → Leave Us A Voice Message!  Topics Discussed: → How can women boost energy during menopause? → What’s the best exercise for postmenopausal health? → How do sleep and light affect menopause symptoms? → Can intermittent fasting help during menopause? → How do lifestyle changes replace lost estrogen?

I sit down with Joe Hudson, the executive coach behind some of Silicon Valley’s most successful leaders, to explore the hidden emotions driving anxiety, disconnection, and high performance.

She is the director of the Women's Brain Initiative at the Alzheimer's Prevention Program at Weill Cornell Medicine, New York Presbyterian Hospital.

In 2005, the New England Journal of Medicine predicted that, for the first time in history, our kids are expected to have shorter lifespans than us – their parents. To address this startling statistic and figure out how to help our kids be more happy and healthy, we're joined by Dr. Elisa Song, a Stanford, NYU, and UCSF-trained integrative pediatrician and pediatric functional medicine expert. Also a mother of two thriving children, Dr. Song has dedicated her career to helping parents and practitioners bridge the gap between conventional and holistic pediatrics with an evidence-based, pediatrician-backed, parent-approved approach. Acknowledging the rise in mental health issues and chronic illnesses in the younger generation, we tackle the tough conversation around how to help our kids make better food choices and manage stress to support their gut health and overall wellbeing. From dissecting the impact of diet choices to connecting the dots between stress and gut health, Dr. Song offers research-backed practical strategies for nurturing resilience in children and encouraging informed food choices. Through empowering discussions on nutrition education, stress management techniques, and navigating the influence of the food industry, this episode will give parents a guide to teaching their children tools for living their most healthful and happy lives.

Today’s topic is something every parent can learn from – how to raise our kids to value themselves for who they are, not what they accomplish. I’m thrilled to welcome Jennifer Wallace, an award-winning journalist and social commentator who covers parenting and lifestyle trends. Jennifer is a contributor to The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post. She is the author of Never Enough: When Achievement Pressure Becomes Toxic — And What We Can Do About It. This is the definitive book on toxic achievement culture and the impact it has on parents and kids. Jennifer tells us all about the groundbreaking findings she uncovered in her book, explaining the societal and economic factors that contributed to the rise of achievement culture. We talk about the prevalence of anxiety and depression in children who go to high-achieving schools. And most importantly, we explore how to combat this phenomenon and support our kids. Jennifer shares fantastic advice on how to teach your kids about their unconditional worth, help them process envy and comparison, and foster a healthy sense of self. We chat a lot about mattering, and why it, well, matters so much, highlighting the importance of healthy interdependence. School might be in session for them, but it is for you (and me!) too. Jennifer recommends getting a PhD in our kids; I will definitely be implementing her advice in my home. The LeVeque family meetings start now! I’m so excited to share Jennifer’s research and perspective, so you can learn from her too.

I am so excited to welcome Dr. Josh Axe, leadership expert, entrepreneur, physician, husband, father, co-founder and CVO of Ancient Nutrition, back to the show. He’s here for an open and honest conversation about his latest study and passion: Mindset as medicine.  He's also a bestselling author, and his latest book is due out this April. We outline the research and personal anecdotal content baked into Think This, Not That, the title, among many, which Dr. Josh is most proud of and most excited to see in the hands of people around the world. We hear about how Josh spent ten months in bed suffering from a debilitating spine condition, the practices – mental and physical – which set him free from that reality, how he and Kelly approach parenting in the modern world, identity dynamics, masculinity vs. femininity, and so much more. But the key question in play is… Who could you become? As we learn today, the answer is limited only by your own imagination, but it can be amplified through community, self-development, and spirituality. It’s an important lesson for all of us to remember as a means to continue one’s growth as a person – and even more important as parents, as we seek to challenge our little ones to be the best versions of themselves they can be.

For my 40th birthday, I decided to invest in my health by undergoing a full body MRI scan through Ezra, a New York based healthcare AI startup utilizing medical imaging and artificial intelligence to provide individuals with a full body cancer screening service that's fast, accurate, and more affordable than ever. Ezra is on a mission to create a new standard of preventative care and provide people with necessary knowledge to make decisions about their health. They look at 14 organs to advocate for early cancer detection as part of an annual health care screening. In today's podcast, I chat with Emi Gal, the CEO and founder of Ezra, Dr. Carol DerSarkissian, who is the medical director, and Dr. Daniel Sodickson, who is the scientific advisor (you can find their full bios at the end of the episode).  We cover Ezra's full body MRI diagnostic process, how MRIs work, the common question regarding false positives, the use of AI and the future of imaging, Ezra's goal to reduce costs, as well as my own test results, and a lot more!  This is not a sponsored podcast, but since early detection is the most effective cure for cancer we currently have, I felt like this technology was important to highlight in podcast form. If you're interested in going through with this type of an investment for your health, you can head to ezra.com/bewell to learn a little bit more about this technology – and use code BEWELLBYKELLY for $150 off.

We don’t have to fear Alzheimer’s and cognitive decline like generations before us. Thanks to dedicated researchers and doctors like today’s guest, we know why Alzheimer’s happens – and how to prevent it. Dr. Dale Bredesen received his undergraduate degree from Caltech and his medical degree from Duke University. In 2013, he returned to UCLA as the director of the Easton Center for Alzheimer's Disease Research. The Bredesen Laboratory studies the basic mechanisms underlying the neurodegenerative process and the translation of the knowledge into effective therapies for Alzheimer's disease. He has published over 230 papers and has written two New York Times bestselling books, The End of Alzheimer's: The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline, and The End Of Alzheimer's Program.  In today's episode, he fills us in on everything he knows about how to protect your brain from this disease, what Alzheimer's is, how we can reverse and prevent it, and blood tests that can indicate our odds of getting it.  Dr. Bredesen is a beacon of hope for so many of us and for families that have been affected by this disease. Knowing that we have the tests to catch early signs of cognitive decline and can harness the power of the Bredesen Protocol to fight inflammation through diet and lifestyle changes in our earlier years means that we can end Alzheimer’s.

Over the last 12 years, he served as the Director of Education at Stanford's renowned Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (aka the D School), where his courses have been experienced by nearly a million students worldwide. Jeremy advises corporate leaders on how to embed the methods and mindsets of design into their organization and works with professionals to cultivate a robust personal creative practice.

Blood sugar regulation isn't just for a select few; it's a universal key to health, vitality, and the enjoyment of life. As humans thriving in our beautifully complex world, our goal is to be realistic, and not restrict ourselves. Today, we’re revisiting conversations with previous guests who've shared invaluable tools on how to maintain this crucial balance, helping us lead a healthier, more energetic life. The concept is simple, but the effects are profound; it all comes down to managing your blood sugar levels.  Whether it's quinoa or cake, the breakdown of any carbohydrate we consume produces glucose – our primary energy source. The trick is to balance our blood sugar levels, not too high and not too low, to avoid those insulin spikes and crashes. This balance allows for consistent energy and effective fat burn throughout the day.  But how do we achieve this balance? It's not about eating less or skipping meals. Rather, it's about focusing on the "#fab4" in each meal – fat, protein, fiber, and greens. This approach helps to naturally stabilize our blood sugar, offering us the gift of vitality and wellbeing.  On this roundtable journey, we draw insights from previous episodes featuring brilliant minds like: • Dr. Casey Means: Level Up your Metabolic Health #103 • Dr. Ben Bikman: How to Fight Chronic Illness at its Source #83 • Dr. Mariza Snyder: Eating to Support Your Hormones and Blood Sugar #195 • Dr. Lauren Kelley-Chew: How to use a CGM to Master your Metabolic Health #217 • Jessie Inchauspe: Balance Your Blood Sugar, Feel Your Best #144 and Join the Glucose Revolution & Hack Your Blood Sugar #176 We also cover… 00:02:00 — Why Insulin Is the Metabolic Boss (Dr. Ben Bilkman) • Introduction to blood sugar • What is insulin and why is it produced? • Insulin’s role in the brain and brain disorders 00:06:00 — Healthy Levels & Development of Insulin Resistance (Dr. Casey Means)  • Why we need to keep insulin in a narrow range • How insulin resistance happens • How to become metabolically flexible • Using fat versus glucose for energy consumption • How your gut microbiome influences how your body breaks down carbohydrates 00:10:00 — How to Identify if Our Insulin Levels Are Off (Dr. Lauren Kelley-Chew)  • Oatmeal isn’t as good for you as you think • Symptoms of blood sugar drops • Recognizing the impacts of sugar on focus and retention • Smart food choices to feel more satisfied and balanced throughout the day • Using Levels to understand how your food is impacting blood sugar 00:19:00 — Insulin’s Role in PCOS (Dr. Ben Bilkman) • Why insulin inhibits ovulation for women of reproductive age • How glucose and insulin is related to PCOS  • Understanding the pivotal role of fat cells and fertility 00:22:00 — Why Insulin Sensitivity & Blood Sugar Balance Is Important for Hormone Balance (Dr. Mariza Snyder) • Why it’s more common to have insulin resistance in your 40’s • Cultivating metabolic health and flexibility in your 40’s • Why blood sugar balance is important for hormone balance 00:30:00 — Plagues of Prosperity: Diseases Caused by Insulin Resistance (Dr. Ben Bikman) • Read: Why We Get Sick by Benjamin Bikman  • Insulin resistance causing brain disease • Impact on men’s fertility 00:40:00 — Hacks For Blood Sugar Balance (Jessie Inchauspe & Dr. Casey Means) • How eating your food in the right order can reduce glucose spikes • Ideas for how to eat more veggies • What happens when you start a meal with bread or high glucose foods • Read: Glucose Revolution: The Life-Changing Power of Balancing Your Blood Sugar • Why you should start your day with a savory breakfast • Benefits of food pairing for blood sugar balance Resources: • Dr. Ben Bikman, Website: pdbio.byu.edu/bikman-lab • Dr. Ben Bikman, Instagram: @benbikmanphd • Dr. Casey Means, Instagram: ‎@drcaseyskitchen • Dr. Lauren Kelley-Chew, Instagram: @drkelleychew • Dr. Mariza Snyder, Website: drmariza.com • Dr. Mariza Snyder, Instagram: @drmariza  • Jessie Inchauspe, Website: jessieinchauspe.com • Jessie Inchauspe, Instagram: @glucosegoddess • Levels, ‎Website: levels.link/kelly (2 free months of membership) • Levels, Instagram: ‎@levels Connect with Kelly: • kellyleveque.com • Instagram: @bewellbykelly • Facebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykelly Be Well By Kelly is produced by Crate Media.

Today's guest is Dr. Stephen Cabral, a board-certified naturopathic doctor and founder of the Cabral Wellness Institute. He's on a mission to help people understand that there is always a reason why you have not achieved your wellness goals and that you can get well again.  At seventeen, Dr. Cabral was diagnosed with a life-altering illness and given no hope for recovery.

In this episode, we get extra personal – decoding my own minerals and metals test to uncover strengths, and yes, areas which can be improved.  Dr. Cabral and his team have seen over a quarter of a million clients; through their functional medicine, lab testing, and personalized wellness plans, they’ve helped people regain and rebalance their mind and body to recover from autoimmune issues, thyroid, fatigue, hormone, weight gain, digestive, childhood, mood, skin, and dozens of other hard to treat health conditions.

In today's episode, we’re joined by Dr. Latt Mansor, a distinguished researcher and world-renowned expert in physiology and metabolism, holding a PhD from Oxford where he conducted pioneering research. Dr. Mansor serves as research lead for the wellness product brand, HVMN, where he oversees the company's initiatives and collaborations with universities and research institutions. He's made significant contributions in understanding the role of exogenous ketones, work which forms the basis of our conversation today. I've been using exogenous ketones since 2017, and the technology has improved vastly, starting as salts and moving to esters. Now, the best-of-the-best on the market is a diol. Dr. Latt explains the use and role of exogenous ketones in everything from lowering inflammation to supporting healing through a traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's, and dementia; how exogenous ketones work in the body and their benefits; and why the United States government has contracts with him to provide energy to our elite men and women on the front line. I also share my own experience with ketones and how I’m using them, postpartum, to feel my best. I'm so impressed with how the technology has improved, how much better it tastes, how great you can feel, and all of the amazing benefits.

I’m so excited to introduce you to my favorite clean plant-based protein source and the founder of Mikuna, Ricky Echanique. With a mission to change the future of food by nourishing people and the planet, Ricky has deep roots in agriculture and in Latin America.  He is a fifth generation Ecuadorian farmer and former professional athlete. At the onset of his athletic career, Ricky faced health and digestion issues, which set him on a new path: to find a better form of plant-based nutrition. This journey led him back home to Ecuador where he found Chocho, the “Andean super protein.” In today's episode, we're talking about Ricky’s journey to bringing chocho to market in the United States, what the chocho bean is, how it stands out against other plant-based proteins, its nutritional profile, how it’s used in farms and tables in Ecuador, and how this very special bean healed Ricky's chronic fatigue and immune issues.  We also share my struggle to find clean plant-based proteins to recommend clients, and why I love this protein source so much. It's a pleasure to bring my friend Ricky onto the show. We also cover… 00:01:00 — Ricky’s Self-Healing Journey that Led to an Amazing Discovery • Ricky’s journey from growing up in Ecuador to college at UC Santa Barbara • How Ricky discovered the chocho plant while on a mission to heal himself • The regenerative and protective properties of the chocho plant • The impact of selling the chocho plant for the local farmers in Ecuador 00:24:00 — Chocho: A Regenerative Crop That’s Good To The Earth & Our Bodies • The process of growing and harvesting the chocho plant • How chocho is traditionally eaten by Ecuadorians • What’s special about chocho compared to other plants • The debittering process of the chocho seed 00:34:00 — Mikuna’s Stand Out Nutrient Profile & How to Use It in Your Kitchen • Why I recommend Mikuna protein for vegan/vegetarian clients • What’s unique about the Mikuna chocho beans as a high quality plant based protein source • How I use Mikuna and chocho in my kitchen • The application and use of Mikuna in different recipes • What’s coming next for Mikuna and the chocho bean • Hume: humesupernatural.com Resources: • Website: mikunafoods.com • Store Locator: mikunafoods.com/pages/store-locator  • Instagram: @mikunafoods  • Ricky’s Instagram: @rickyechanique • Facebook: facebook.com/mikunafoods Connect with Kelly: • kellyleveque.com • Instagram: @bewellbykelly • Facebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykelly Be Well By Kelly is produced by Crate Media.

In today's episode, I interview my friend, the founder, and CEO of Zero Acre Farms, Jeff Nobbs. Jeff is on a mission to create a food company that will replace destructive, inflammatory vegetable oils with healthier, more sustainable oils and fats made through fermentation.  Not only has Jeff created a low Omega-6 cooking oil that's neutral in taste with a high smoke point and low oxidation, but it also is more environmentally friendly – just the kind of win-win we look for and love in the food and nutrition space.  In this episode, we talk about how widespread the use of seed oils has become, especially in industrial kitchens throughout the country. We also cover the destructive nature of industrial and vegetable seed oils, detail their negative impact on human and environmental health, learn about the toxic aldehyde that comes only from Omega-6 fats, called HNE, discuss why fermented oil is a better choice than Avocado and Olive oils, and so much more. Tune in and learn how you can improve the ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 in your body and for your family. This is definitely one to take notes on – let's make a change!

Today’s amazing guest is Elise Loehnen, brilliant writer, editor, and podcast host of Pulling the Thread, a podcast focused on pulling apart the stories we tell about who we are and then putting those threads back together. Ultimately, Elise is a seeker and synthesizer pulling together wisdom, traditions, cultural history, and a deep knowledge of healing modalities to unlock new ways to contextualize who we are and why we're here. While she's also co-written 12 books, including five New York Times bestsellers, her first book under her own name is here, and it's called On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and The Price Women Pay To Be Good. The book weaves together history, memoir, and cultural criticism to explore the ways the patriarchy lands in our bodies and embeds itself in our consciousness and what we then police in ourselves and in each other. With awareness, we can begin to recognize these patterns of self restriction, break the story, and move ourselves and each other towards freedom and balance.

Dr. Chris Palmer is taking the internet by storm and for good reason. He's a Harvard psychiatrist and researcher, and his new book, Brain Energy, proposes a comprehensive theory of what causes mental illness, integrating existing theories and research into one unifying theory, the brain energy theory of mental illness, in which he argues that mental disorders are really metabolic disorders of the brain.  In today’s conversation, Dr. Palmer shares the science behind how the mitochondria functions in the body, and ultimately affects brain health. He shares how we can support healthy mitochondria and what the recent research in the last 20 years tells us about healing mental illness with metabolic interventions, like the ketogenic diet, and lifestyle strategies like exercise, a good sleep routine, reducing inflammation, and more. It is really amazing to think about the healing and regeneration that can happen for your mitochondria when you use these metabolic interventions, and hearing the life-changing impacts of implementing these practices with amazing stories like he shares in this episode brings so much hope for the future.  I can’t thank Dr. Palmer enough for concisely putting this theory into a book that anyone can read. It is such an important message, affirming our ability to really have control over our life and live the best version of it. We also cover… 00:02:00 — An Introduction to How Mitochondria Functions in the Body Why Dr. Palmer became a psychiatrist and his mother’s struggle How the mitochondria can influence mental illness  The role of mitochondria in the body: Neurotransmitters and hormones Why women are more susceptible to mental illness The new research backing up his theory 00:22:00 — How Metabolic Interventions like the Ketogenic Diet Impact Brain Health What we can do proactively support mental health Metabolic strategies for improving mitochondrial health How COVID can cause mental health challenges Case study: Recovering from chronic schizophrenia using metabolic treatments Why the ketogenic diet is so effective at treating seizures and other brain illnesses How the brain can use ketones as a fuel source to support and regenerate mitochondria 00:46:00 — Lifestyle Strategies That Support Mental Health Dangers of prescription medications that harm metabolism Mitochondrial biogenesis through exercise The importance of a good sleep routine Dr. Palmer’s perspective on supplements  Effects of the ketogenic diet on women’s hormones Dr. Palmer and Kelly’s experiences with the ketogenic diet Resources: Website: brainenergy.com Website: chrispalmermd.com Website: The Mental and Metabolic Health Assessment  Instagram: @chrispalmermd Twitter: @chrispalmermd Facebook:.facebook.com/ChrisPalmerMD YouTube: Chris Palmer MD Read: Brain Energy: A Revolutionary Breakthrough in Understanding Mental Health--and Improving Treatment for Anxiety, Depression, OCD, PTSD, and More by Dr. Chris Palmer Connect with Kelly: kellyleveque.com Instagram: @bewellbykelly Facebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykelly Be Well By Kelly is produced by Crate Media.

Today's guest is Laura Vanderkam. She's the author of several time management productivity books, and her TED Talk garnered over 13 million views. Her newest book, Tranquility by Tuesday, gives us nine ways to calm the chaos and make time for what matters most.  In today's podcast episode, you are going to learn how to look at your time in weeks, in the 168 hours you have in a week, versus your days. This allows us to prioritize the things that are most important to us, make meaningful memories and take time for ourselves. Laura also shares the research and data behind her nine rules for time management, and provides tangible ways we can upgrade our lives by being more intentional with our time. When you think about women who have multiple hats to wear, whether they're at their job or with their family life and friends, it’s easy to become reactive throughout the day. Taking control of your schedule and living the life that you want to is so important to so many of us, and yet we don't have the tools to do it.

Dr. Izabella Wentz is an internationally acclaimed thyroid specialist and a licensed pharmacist who has dedicated her career to addressing the root cause of autoimmune thyroid disease after being diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in 2009. She's the author of three books on Hashimoto's and is a New York Times bestseller. Her new book, Adrenal Transformation Protocol, is available now.  In today's episode, you're going to learn about the thyroid gland, the adrenal glands, how they play together in the body to balance hormones. Our hormones play such a huge role in how we feel, and it’s so important to understand how our diet and lifestyle choices influence them. We get into everything from how to have better sleep, manage your caffeine intake, and natural ways to balance your circadian rhythm, to how your workouts and work-life balance can impact your hormones. You're also going to get some tips on supplements to take and blood markers to ask your doctor to call for if you think you may have any type of thyroid disease, specifically looking out for Hashimotos.  I'm so excited for the book to come out and for people to get their hands on this protocol because it has already helped and impacted thousands of women. I love that Dr. Wentz’s lifestyle recommendations really push back against intermittent fasting and over-caffeinated hustle culture so you can live with more peace and alignment from the inside out.

Today's guest is New York Times bestselling author and clinical psychologist, Dr. Shefali. She's an expert in family dynamics and personal development and teaches courses around the world. She's written a multitude of books, including The Conscious Parent, The Awakened Family, and her newest book, The Parenting Map, with step-by-step solutions to consciously create the ultimate parent-child relationship. Dr. Shefali offers a profoundly practical and groundbreaking parenting solution that helps parents actualize their deepest desires for their children. This step-by-step guide disrupts toxic inherited patterns and replaces them with authentic connections that allow us to see and respond to our children for who they are, and who they can become.  The book is a minimalist approach to parenting, which is truly getting to the basics, knowing they are good enough, and actually more important than all the other things that we've built up to be important milestones for our children. Focusing on healing ourselves, letting go of control, and allowing for the playful, fun of childhood will lead to the most resilient adults. In this conversation, Dr. Shefali opens my eyes to the incredible opportunity in ditching the rules and need for control.  Thank you to Dr. Shefali for spreading this message to parents that doing a good job doesn't mean being perfect, it really just means getting the basics right. I took lots of notes during this conversation, and I know other parents out there will get a lot of value from it as well. I’m so excited to welcome Dr. Shefali to the show!

Kelly Starrett is the co-author of the New York Times bestselling book, Becoming a Supple Leopard, Ready to Run, and The Wall Street Journal bestseller, Deskbound. In his career as a physical therapist, Kelly has worked with athletes and coaches from the NFL, MBA, NHL, MBL, and the US Olympic team. I've been following his work since 2014 and would consider Kelly to be the first functional physical therapist in practice where he merged activity, physical therapy, and holistic living together to not only improve and heal his patients, but to watch them thrive. Juliet Starrett is an entrepreneur, attorney, author, and podcaster. She's also the CEO of The Ready State, the go-to mobility program for over 100k recreational and professional athletes, coaches, and personal trainers. She is the co-author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller, Deskbound, and was a professional whitewater paddler winning three world championships and five national titles.  It's a pleasure to bring them both on the show today to talk about their newest book, Built to Move: the 10 Essential Habits to Help You Move Freely and Live Fully. The book offers an easy-to-use formula for basic mobility maintenance: 10 tests + 10 physical practices = 10 ways to make your body work better. It's been so fun to follow along their journey for so many years, and to finally talk to them about all the work that they have done together and the amazing power team that they are. I'm so excited to introduce them to you all and for their new book, which I know will be a helpful guide for anyone looking to overall feel physically and build sustainable habits for long term wellness.

On today's podcast, we chat with two amazing women about a nonprofit that has quickly grown near and dear to my heart, Eat REAL. I’m joined by Nora LaTorre, the CEO of Eat REAL. Nora is currently working with over 500 schools to solve the root cause of the health crisis facing our children, and has a rapidly scaling climate change solution to boot. Joining her is Erin Primer, Director of Food and Nutrition Services at SanLuis Coastal Unified School District, located in Central California. Erin brings over fifteen years of experience in the food industry, ranging from high quality catering to hospitals and universities. With two young children of her own, she is passionate about upgrading the food that is served in cafeterias across the country.  Together, they have removed fifteen pounds of consumed sugar per kid in Erin's school district while reallocating funds to local vendors supplying one hundred percent grass-fed beef burgers (served up every week), local olive oil, kiwis, and more. Eat REAL has a goal to shift $1B of school food purchasing power by 2025 to greener, more sustainable, healthier meals so every child can flourish.

Today's guest is my friend Maya Feller, a Brooklyn-based RD who graduated from New York University. Maya's always been absolutely approachable and real food-based. You can find her on TV shows like Good Morning America as her private practice provides medical nutrition therapy and nutrition coaching for the management of, and the risk reduction of, non-communicable diseases. She's also the author of a fantastic new book called Eating From Our Roots, which is where we spend most of our time today. It was released on January 24th of this year and features over eighty global recipes to take you through the heritage of cooking and how healthy food can look (and taste) wildly different for different people in different places. Backed by Goop Press, Maya’s powerful message of accessibility and education sets her apart in a general health-food conversation that gets noisier every day. Her commitment to meeting people where they are promises a seat at the table for so many who’ve gone without one – I so respect and revere her work and community impact. It's a joy to welcome Maya to the Be Well By Kelly podcast today.

Today's guest is known as The Spa Doctor and she was the first licensed female naturopathic doctor in California. She’s also the author of two literary standbys in the natural health space, especially as it relates to skin care: Natural Beauty Reset and Clean Skin from Within.  It’s an honor to have the esteemed Dr. Trevor Cates on the show today. After years of struggling with skin problems and imbalanced hormones in her teen years, Dr. Cates decided to pursue a career in natural medicine to educate the masses on the intersection between hormones and healthy skin. This led her to Utah, where she’s applied her refined skills and expertise in renowned hotels like the Waldorf Astoria and the St. Regis. Specializing in hormone balance and a holistic approach to skincare, she’s built a practice teaching clients and patients how to support healthy skin through research-backed diet, lifestyle, and product choices – an ethos which forms the basis of our hyper-informative conversation today.

Today's guest is Dr. Thomas Hemingway. He is a holistic and integrative medical doctor, but like so many guests on this show, he didn't start that way. He worked for two decades in ER medicine before making the move to integrative practices that we discuss  today. With so much first-hand experience with chronic illness, he committed himself and his career to finding ways to prevent them. And as of February, he has a new book on the shelves that does just that, PREVENTABLE: 5 Powerful Practices To Avoid Disease And Build Unshakeable Health.  We unpack those five powerful practices – Food, Movement, Sleep, Gut Health, and Stress – and apply them to family life, the imperfect, impatient, always-something-new lifestyle that keeps parents of young children like us on the lookout for practical, easily applicable advice wherever we can get it. As you’ll hear in this one, Dr. Thomas Hemingway is full of energy and you can be too. I love the motivation and hope that Dr. Hemingway shares with our community today. There's a lot of doomsday talk with an increase in obesity, heart disease, diabetes, chronic lifestyle diseases, and the like – but every day is a fresh new start, an opportunity to start a new healthy habit and get back on track to a full and vibrant life. We also cover… 00:02:50 — Dr. Hemingway’s Path to Integrative Medicine Graduating top-of-class from UCSD’s MD program Being inspired by Doogie Howser and ER Seeing a rise in sick young people  Leaning into the preventative side of health CDC’s latest troubling guidelines on child obesity  00:10:46 — Powerful Food & Diet Practices To Prevent Disease Benefit of adding vs. subtracting things from our diet Making healthy food choices around the world Corn, wheat, soy, and rice = 60% of plant-based food 3 things to avoid in your diet (sugar, seed oils, and processed grains) Make it easy – try one new food a week Tips for intuitive eating for the family  Kelly gives a look into her kids-in-the-kitchen dynamic at home 00:26:02 — Benefits of Mindful Movement & Sleep Walking after meals and blood sugar monitoring  Staying active without a gym Sitting is the new smoking Understanding sleep and the human brain (glymphatic system) How natural sunlight resets our circadian rhythm  Avoiding screen time before bed Best practices for a good’s night sleep 00:43:41 — Balancing Your Gut Health & Managing Stress 60% of our immune system lives in the gut Supporting gut bacteria with fiber and fermented foods  2012 stress study with 180,000 subjects  Stress, perception, and resilience  Tips and tools for optimizing stress  Teaching kids that stress is normal and healthy ways to cope Simplify your miracle morning routine Resources: Read: PREVENTABLE: 5 Powerful Practices To Avoid Disease And Build Unshakeable Health Website: thomashemingway.com Instagram: @drthomashemingway Podcast: Unshakeable Health with Thomas Hemingway, M.D. Courses: Health Optimization Courses  Kids Knives: Kid’s Safe Plastic Knives Kitchen Tower: KidzWerks Child Standing Tower Connect with Kelly: kellyleveque.com Instagram: @bewellbykelly Facebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykelly Be Well By Kelly is produced by Crate Media.

My guest today is Dr. Terry Wahls, a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa where she conducts clinical trials testing the effect of therapeutic diet and lifestyle to treat MS and related symptoms. Through her custom protocol, Dr. Wahls overcame her own diagnosis of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, which had confined her to a tilt recline wheelchair for four years. Now, she bikes to work, plays with the dog, and generally thrives as a health and wellness messenger of critical importance to our world. In this deeply moving and informational conversation, Dr. Wahls shares stark first-person memories from the painful early stages of her healing journey, details the nutrient-dense diet that changed everything, and looks into the future of MS treatment – spotlighting the important role that nutrition has to play in it all. If you have MS, or know someone who does, I definitely recommend her book, The Wahls Protocol: How I Beat Progressive MS Using Paleo Principles & Functional Medicine, where she details her story at length.

You all know I’m a big supporter of healthy, ethically raised animal proteins – and today we get another serving of the good stuff. Today's guest is Farmer Paul Grieve. Paul is the founder of Pasturebird, the largest pasture-raised chicken operation in the world, focused on making true pasture-raised, nutrient-dense chicken, more accessible and affordable to you and me. Paul never set out to be a farmer. His journey began after contracting Lyme disease from a tick bite during his marine corps training, a seemingly innocuous event that would shape the rest of his life. Going Paleo as a means to treat his symptoms, he identified a glaring gap in the market for natural, pasture-raised chicken – especially in Southern California. Soon, his backyard-based business maintained wholesale accounts with both the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dodgers. He was onto something big, and hasn’t slowed down since. I'm so inspired by Paul, his wife Lynsey, the community they've created, and all the good they're putting into this world. It's such a pleasure to introduce you to Pasturebird in the hopes that this knowledge empowers you with a better way of taking care of your family, and the planet as well.

The Health Babes brand was created by Drs. Becky Campbell and Krystal Hohn, functional medicine practitioners with a passion for helping people get to the root cause of their health issues after overcoming complex symptoms of their own during grad school. As board-certified physicians of natural medicine, these ladies are a dynamic duo of research knowledge and lived experience. If they can’t tell us all the ways we can get our hormone levels under control, no one can. Besides working together in their functional medicine practice, they have recently published a super actionable book called The Health Babes Guide to Balancing Hormones – which is just one resource among many from these two designed to help people on a larger scale. Dr. Becky Campbell and Dr. Krystal Hohn created this fundamental resource manual to explain the various ways your hormones can affect your body and what you can do to balance them for a happier, healthier life.

Dr. Lindsey Elmore is a former pharmacist, author, speaker, podcaster, and network marketing leader with a knack for cutting through the confusion and sharing the truth about the myriad of health and wellness choices available. She shares her passion for natural wellness on stages around the world and reaches countless others through her lively social media platforms. We talk about her journey into, and away from, traditional medicine – inspired by her own patient’s journey after tearing her ACL. Leaning into non-traditional practices, she became an expert on the history of both branches of wellness, those defined as “medicine” in 1906, and the expansive natural world of “everything else”. We dabble all over the spectrum in this one, going from the recorded history of pharmacy and healthcare into more modern issues seen in marketing, dosages, drug pricing, evidence-based research, and so much more. Dr. Lindsey is a vibrant truth teller, a guest who’s energy and inspiration for the subject matter can be seen, felt, and heard in every word she speaks. We’re so thankful she took the time to educate our community today on so many important, and overlooked, issues.

We find ourselves back in the all-important microbiome in today’s extra-informative episode of the Be Well By Kelly podcast.  We’re joined by Dr. Megan Rossi, a fellow boy mom, gut-obsessed nutritionist who founded the Gut Health Doctor and is considered one of the most influential gut health specialists in the world. She's also a registered dietician with an award-winning PhD in gut health – my kind of expert!

Today's guest is so impactful to the millions of people that she supports online, it only made sense to bring her back for a second session. Dr. Nicole LePera, also known as The Holistic Psychologist, started as a clinical psychologist in private practice, but often found herself frustrated by the limitations of traditional psychotherapy, wanting more for her patients and for herself. Nothing short of a paradigm shift, Dr. LePera's teachings empower the individual to break free from trauma cycles and create who they want to become. Her latest workbook, How To Meet Yourself, hits bookstores on December 6th. It's now up for pre-order, and I highly recommend it. In this one – we outline the three levels of her workbook and the impact each has on our understanding of self, jump on the story loop for a ride through human neurology, learn ways to connect a disconnected nervous system, and so much more. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or even underwhelmed by your life and the world around you, this is the perfect episode for you. Dr. LePera’s voice breaks through the noise with clarity and purpose that will leave you inspired and ready for more. We also cover… 00:02:52 — Please, Feel Your Feelings!

My guest today is Michael Easter, a leading voice on how humans can integrate modern science and evolutionary wisdom for improved health, meaning, and performance. He travels the globe to embed himself with brilliant thinkers and people living at the extremes. He's the author of the bestselling book, The Comfort Crisis, and a professor of journalism at UNLV. We spend this one unpacking the comfort crisis and the complex experiences that seeded this concept in Michael’s mind as something more than an observation of his own life.  He covers his nutrition journey, why learning how much he was eating was the key to understanding his own metabolic equilibrium, highlights a few fascinating teachers and researchers that have inspired him along the way, and applies his crisis lens to another, more surprising, neurological gem under siege – creativity in kids. His application of learned lessons is a breath of fresh air. Backed in research, but avoidant of the weeds – his POV is heart-filled and psychological, but not out of reach. Big thanks to Michael for sharing his deep wisdom with us today. We also cover…  00:01:24 — Unraveling The Comfort Crisis Inspiration for The Comfort Crisis Struggling with drinking and getting sober Learning the reward of walking through discomfort Working with Donnie Vincent How an extreme excursion outlined his book Nutrition work with Trevor Kashey Why you eat vs. what you eat with Trevor Kashey Pitfalls of enforcing rigid eating rules  00:21:55 — Doing the Work: Lifestyle Changes Choosing foods that are ingredients > foods that have ingredients  Positive effects of spending time in nature  The Nature Pyramid by Rachel Hopman  Working with our  hands vs. our heads 00:36:54 — Growth Through Challenge What exactly is a misogi challenge?

Wearing the device, users unlock a wealth of knowledge about how their body works, helping people understand how their food directly impacts their health and quality of life. We talk about how she went from being on the waitlist for Levels, to being recruited to work there. At the time, reckoning with a surprising (but not surprising) prediabetes diagnosis – she was looking for answers. She found them in the data. We spend most of this one deep in the science, getting granular on how Levels works, ways people can use its scores to improve their blood sugar, and their lives as a result, and how her research could change the way people view nutrition forever. It is that simple, and it is that complex. Blood glucose is one our favorite topics to dissect – and we manage to break new ground each time another expert shares their perspective.

Candace Nelson is a wildly successful entrepreneur known for co-founding Sprinkles, purveyor of the world's first cupcake ATM, and most recently, Pizanna, a fast-growing chain of award-winning high-end pizzerias. She continues to expand her portfolio of investments with CN2 Ventures, a family office and venture studio which invests in early stage consumer companies. But you may know her as a regular contributor to the Wall Street Journal, author of the New York Times bestseller, The Sprinkles Baking Book, co-creator and executive producer of Hulu's Best in Dough, executive producer and judge on Netflix’s Sugar Rush, and/or as a featured judge over a hundred episodes of Food Network’s hit show, Cupcake Wars. More than all of that, she’s my friend! A mentor and inspiration to my own career, Candace is the total package – mommy, business builder, investor – not to mention, an exquisite baker. That’s where we kick this one off, as she elects to attend pastry school instead of business school (a decision we can all be thankful for). Her entrepreneurial journey from there takes twists and turns, but always comes back to passion. We chat about her latest book, Sweet Success, the behind-the-scenes story of building Sprinkles, from the very first cupcake through the eight years she spent scaling it across the country – and everywhere in between. She encourages us all, and encourages me all the time, to go for our dreams, to put them out into the world and build on the positive momentum from there. If you have an idea, or even if you’re just curious about starting a business in the future, this is the podcast episode for you.  You will learn about... Kelly and Candace’s early relationship Deciding on pastry school instead of business school Reinventing the cupcake a la Sprinkles Making the call to sell stake in Sprinkles Advice: Prove your thesis on a smaller scale, first Getting the product and branding right Putting your biggest dreams out into the world What’s next?

You know Dave Asprey. He’s the father of biohacking, a bestselling author and serial entrepreneur – and he is proud to be leading the charge against Kale. Dave unmasks the popular health food as expensive, bitter, and toxic – but it’s far from the only thing to catch heat from this world class truth teller today. We hear all about his new clean coffee brand, Danger Coffee, which is produced with strict anti-mold protocols and enriched with important minerals that are both not seen in most processed, popular American foods and which are actively removed from our systems by harmful ingredients and chemicals.  Dave rails against the systematic decline in testosterone across young men, a concerning trend that has ripples throughout every level of society. We hash out the science of soil, why mineral depletion plays such a big part in widespread sickness and disease. And we also learn of his latest high-tech biohacking projects, where he’s deploying AI to train our brains, and bodies, with less time and effort required by traditional methods.  Mitochondria and mold are two more hot topics as Dave weaves science and levity into his vast life experience for a direct and to-the-point delivery of the facts. He’s right, we don’t need to be scared. We need to be informed.  You will learn about...

Dr. Tina Bryson is the author of The Bottom Line For Baby and the co-author, with Dan Siegel, of The Yes Brain, The Power of Showing Up, as well as two New York Times bestsellers, the Whole Brain Child and No Drama Discipline. Her body of work has had an immense impact on my parenting journey, which is only part of the reason I’m so excited she’s sharing her time with us today. We touch on many of Dr. Bryson’s core concepts of well-adjusted parenting, most tied to the fact that our little ones are actually brilliant – that their brains create automatic associations, just like ours. Still, we need to be mindful of our explicit and implicit messaging; just because they can make associations doesn’t mean they’re right (or logical), after all. She also gives some amazing and actionable advice on a couple specific behavioral challenges we’re seeing with Bash at home, and blesses us with some other quick tools on empowering kids to be brave, name their feelings, and build resilience. .   If you are a new parent or even thinking about having children, I would start reading her books and practicing on your partner. Dr. Bryson’s techniques are revolutionary and she is spearheading an important change in parenting that we are now seeing all over the internet – and she has been for a decade. Thank you, Dr. Tina Payne Bryson, for being on the show. You will learn about...

Our guest today is Michelle Tam, founder and co-creator of the renowned Nom Nom Paleo universe. Dubbed the Queen of Paleo Cooking, she’s co-authored several cookbooks, The New York Times bestselling Nom Nom Paleo, Food for Humans, Ready or Not, and her most recent Nom Nom Paleo: Let's Go!.  She is devoted to sharing paleo, gluten-free and Whole30 recipes, kitchen tips and tricks with a focus on ancestral health, quick and easy eats, and staying paleo while on the go. We chat about her initial discovery of paleo and how it successfully addressed digestion issues earlier in her life before delving into the ways the wide-reaching career that’s come from it has impacted how she and her family eats on a daily basis. Along the way, we also get some great kitchen gadget recommendations, talk about boundaries and social media expectations, and hash out a Cracklin’ Chicken recipe that will work for any busy family. More than a pure paleo evangelist, she thinks people should figure out what works for them in terms of diet, and actually pay attention to how food makes them feel. It’s a fresh take, and one that we’re hearing more and more of in the space as we move away from strict regimens and all-for-one wellness advice. You will learn about...

Dr. Cate Shanahan is the world's leading authority on seed oils and she’s on a mission to spread the word on the damage they're doing to us, both individually and as a species. We start by identifying the hateful eight – eight toxic factory-made seed oils – but this conversation takes us all over the nutritional spectrum.  She helps us parse fact or fiction on numerous murky subjects, from the blatant corruption at the root of all nutritional research data past 1948, to the benefits and pitfalls of restrictive dieting, how and why the modern food landscape has evolved to be so harmful for our health, and the risks (or not) involved with consuming raw milk. Come for Dr. Cate’s deep wisdom on seed oils and her truly clean snacking and diet tips, stay for a shout out to the brilliant Anthony Bourdaine and Cate’s fascinating perspective on global cuisine – a showcase of nutrient-rich delicacies that do not exist in our modern American food lexicon.

If you’re anything like me and my family, you may already be familiar (and appreciative!) of the innovative and delicious food brand we’re spotlighting today, Siete Family Foods, a company dedicated to sharing Mexican-American cuisine with those who want or need grain-free options. Today's guests are sister and brother – Veronica Garza, Siete’s Co-Founder, President, and Chief Innovation Officer, and Miguel Garza, Co-Founder and CEO. They’re here to talk about their first cookbook, The Siete Table, which features over a hundred gluten free Mexican-American dishes that span every course and occasion. Of course, we cover the brand’s backstory – after Veronica Garza had many autoimmune issues  show up, including lupus, she started to do CrossFit with her family in her parents' backyard. After switching to a grain-free diet, she noticed her joints weren't bothering her anymore, which was the catalyst to starting this company. Miguel and Veronica discuss the recipes they can't wait to share, why sharing these recipes is so special to them, and the inspiring story of how Veronica (as well as other family members) took a huge risk in order to get Siete off the ground. You will learn about... The start of it all: the almond flour tortilla Veronica’s struggles with autoimmune issues How her diet restrictions clashed with her culture Coming together as a family: support is everything Pushing through the pain of lupus Six to nine months of diet and lifestyle changes to resolve her  symptoms Risking Veronica’s insurance coverage to get started The Garza family captures  an entrepreneurial spark  Expanding the product (chips, seasonings, crunchy shells, etc.) Ethos and mission of Siete Family Foods Family first, family second, business third An admittedly bad first company name revealed  Seven members of the family: “Siete” Building a soul-aligned company The Siete Table: writing a cookbook Favorite recipes from the book Inspirations for The Siete Table Resources: Order Siete Table: sietefoods.com/pages/siete-table Find Siete products near you: sietefoods.com/pages/locator Instagram: @sietefoods Facebook: Siete Foods Twitter: @SieteFoods Connect with Kelly: kellyleveque.com Instagram: @bewellbykelly Facebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykelly Be Well By Kelly is produced by Crate Media.

Dr. Elisa Song is an integrative pediatrician, pediatric functional medicine expert, and a mama. In her integrative pediatric practice, Whole Family Wellness, she's helped thousands of kids get to the root cause of their health concerns, and she's helped their parents understand how to help their children thrive – mind, body, and spirit – by integrating conventional pediatrics with functional medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and essential oils. Grab your notepad for this one, as we cover all the science, and the just-as-important implementation, of personalized medicine and how important it is to take a custom integrated approach to wellness. Talking through a few examples, including the always-pesky ear infection, Dr. Song describes how a reliance on antibiotics is selling us short. We also do a nearly three-year update on COVID (and long-COVID), the vaccines, what was promised, and what now seems like the more likely reality of it all – that making an informed decision as a family is everyone’s best option. There is so much more information out there than even a couple of years ago. It’s so important that we find as many sources of evidence-backed data as we can – and we’re glad to bring you one of those sources today. Huge thanks to Dr. Elisa Song for taking the time with our community. You will learn about...

You open Instagram and it hits you right away, a sense of perfection or idealism that seems just a little too shiny, a little too great to be real. And guess what? Most of the time, it isn’t. Today's guest, Dr. Whitney Goodman, assures us of that much and more. She's the radically honest psychotherapist behind the popular Instagram account, @sitwithwhit, the book Toxic Positivity: Keeping It Real in a World Obsessed with Being Happy, and the owner of the Collaborative Counseling Center, a private therapy practice in Miami. She helps individuals and couples heal past wounds and create the life they've always wanted. We spend this episode unpacking the false perception of perfection all around us, the world’s constant striving for “happiness,” and why finding center in your life is so much more complicated than that – and should be! Whether it’s content-friendly or not – feeling all the feelings, really embracing them and chershing them, can be as healthy for us as a diverse and nutrient-rich diet. Dr. Goodman offers up a more diverse experience, more layers to really dive into and learn about ourselves and the people we love. We get tips on listening (it’s more than just hearing!), recognizing toxic positivity and understanding why it sells, the importance of values over happiness, and prioritizing focus time – even thirty minutes a day – to help keep your mind sharp. It’s time to get honest about – well, everything! There’s no time to waste striving and stressing over goals that only move further into the distance the harder we work at them. Life is perfect as it is, we’re so glad Dr. Goodman took the time to share this message with us today. You will learn about... Pitfalls of toxic positivity How to respond instead → Really, truly listening to someone Finding room for validation beyond happiness  Seeing the world in black and white Setting realistic goals to actually feel fulfillment Values > happiness Whitney’s personal experience and growth Feeling all the feelings and that’s ok The power of 30-minute focus blocks  Recognizing toxic positivity How to give feedback to someone who’s “toxically positive” Setting boundaries with friends/family in a compassionate way How to find a therapist The flaw with “time heals all wounds” The “Good Enough” community Unpacking the perfection trend Social’s media place in all of this The truth about most influencers  Resources: Website: sitwithwhit.com Instagram: @sitwithwhit Twitter: @sitwithwhit Collab Counseling: collabcounseling.com Read: Toxic Positivity by Whitney Goodman “Good Enough” Community: sitwithwhit.substack.com Connect with Kelly: kellyleveque.com Instagram: @bewellbykelly Facebook: www.facebook.com/bewellbykelly Be Well By Kelly is produced by Crate Media.

Today’s super informed guest on the podcast is Vanessa Rissetto MS, RD, CDN, the co-founder of Culina Health. Her magic lies in her realistic and personalized approach to nutrition with science as her first love. She's most interested in helping clients take an active role in their health journey through personalized lifestyle plans backed by evidence-based, science-driven nutrition counseling, adult weight management, and building a better relationship with food. We start our conversation touching on the role of Culina Health in today’s medical world and how the rapid need for telehealth services created huge opportunities, and challenges, for the new company. The world is still changing on a daily basis it seems, but we have innovators like Vanessa to thank for keeping us in mind as it does. Vanessa’s perspective on the space ranges from the past, where vast differences in family culture made for a different at-home eating experience in most cases, to the present, where shame and fear too often poison the well of wellness – even toward the future, where she encourages us to take small steps toward a cleaner life with actionable tips for doing so. Her main advice is sound, and it always will be – sometimes simple is better! Especially when time is limited, opting for something that is easy, quick, and nourishing for your family is totally possible; you just have to know where to look (Hint: not Instagram). You will learn about...

The esteemed Dr. Jeffrey Bland, an internationally recognized leader in the nutritional medicine field, joins the show today. He’s a biochemist by training, co-founding the Institute for Functional Medicine in 1991 while coming to be known to many as The Father of Functional Medicine.  Dr. Bland invites us into his deep wisdom and vast experience as we explore his path to, and away from, traditional medicine, before delving into the issues we see in modern healthcare and what the rapidly changing space might look like in the near future.  Today’s healthcare ills, as he points out, can be tied to money’s omnipresence in the market, which has urged the prioritization of disease treatment – for profit’s sake, mostly – rather than focusing on promoting societal wellness as its table-stakes mission. We also talk about his latest project, Big Bold Health, which launched in 2018, through which he's on a mission to transform the way people think about one of nature's greatest innovations, the mighty immune system. That’s right, the gut remains front and center as Dr. Bland breaks down the differences between boosting and balancing, benefits to eating the rainbow, and much more. By advocating for the power of immuno-rejuvenation to enhance immunity at a global level, he’s really doing some important work for the world – work that generations in the future (and today!) can look back upon and be so thankful for. You will learn about... When Dr. Bland started to think for himself Circumventing traditional medicine Diseasecare vs. healthcare Money as the pitfall of modern medicine Focusing on what it means to be well Big Bold Health The super system: nervous system and immune system  Balancing vs. boosting your immune system What are zombie cells?

Dr. Anthony Jay is the President of the International Medical Research Collaborative, a nonprofit organization based in Boston that trains medical students from around the globe. He is also an author and renowned expert on estrogenics, substances that merely act like estrogen in our body, oftentimes tricking it into negative chain reactions in our health – even cancer. So, where are these tricky imposters in the products around us? And, how can we avoid them in the future? Dr. Anthony details the long list in his book, and is kind to share many examples in our conversation today. Specifically, he touches on fragrances, petroleum products, soy products, and mold, which is so much more common in shelf products like coffee, grains, and peanuts than you might imagine. We also talk about the role that the gut microbiome, an old familiar friend, plays in our processing of these chemicals, and draw a very real connection between the harms of estrogenics and everyday plastics like water bottles and shower liners. If you’re listening to this and looking around your life with a newfound stress, know that you’re not alone in this collective journey to a more natural, non-toxic, and simple life. Knowledge is key. Understanding complexities like those presented today is the first step toward making positive changes. And we’re here to help you get there, every step of the way. You will learn about... What are estrogenics?  Estrogenics vs. testosterone Link between estrogenics and an increased risk of cancer  Common products and ingredients to avoid broken into three categories: food, plastics and personal care Major players to know: mold, red dye, flax and soy Chemical risks of plastic water bottles Sources of other plastics to avoid Why “BPA-free” isn’t good enough The science of estrogen in plastic High estrogen leading to early puberty in girls Common home products to be aware of What these chemicals do to your hormones Benefits of sweating and sauna use to expel chemicals  Resources: Linkedin: Anthony G.

Dr. Vivian Chen was practicing conventional medicine in the UK when her own debilitating symptoms of fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, and acne were dismissed as “normal” by the medical community.

Today’s special episode is a family affair. I’m joined by my sister, Krissy Zilli, the Director of Finance and Operations of our little slice of the wellness world. We chat about rebranding Be Well By Kelly and spotlight the development of our new vegan protein powder. How did it come together? What’s the true test of quality? And what’s next? You’ll learn about the mighty chocho bean protein, where we managed to source them from, and why I was so picky about the final product. At the end of the day, it all comes down to quality; we won’t budge on that. We also go back to the beginning of BWBK to give a little behind-the-scenes of early launches and tough decisions.

We talk about how important diet is to oral health and highlight the mini immune system in our mouths, kids’ health tips as they relate to bone density and learning healthy oral care habits, tooth decay during pregnancy, and a surprising study – with cats as the subject – that illustrates generational harm caused by the degradation of food fresh quality, affordability, and availability.  You will learn about...

Dr. Snyder is a functional practitioner, a woman's health expert, and the author of eight books. Her latest; The Essential Oils Menopause Solution: Alleviate Your Symptoms and Reclaim Your Energy, Sleep, Sex Drive, and Metabolism; focuses on tangible advice for women in perimenopause and in menopause.

It’s no secret that school lunches have been in decline for decades. Chances are, the food you remember from school would give you nightmares if your child’s cafeteria served it in 2022. Yes, Michelle Obama did some good work in the space – and progress has been made. But as we learn today, there’s a lot of work left to do when we’re talking about truly healthy school lunches. My guest today, Barbara Mechura, school nutrition director and holistic health coach, has dedicated her career to shifting this narrative toward scratch-made meals. We learn that, while it’s certainly more work, these mindfully prepared meals lead to a better outcome for everyone involved (students and staff).  It’s time we stopped taking the easy way out with pre-packaged convenience foods that create serious long-term problems for students’ health. Barbara shares how we can get involved in our school district’s food decisions, and that they probably need our help. You will learn about...

Feeding kids is hard, even when you’re an expert in the field. Jennifer Anderson is a registered dietician and has a Master's of Science in Public Health from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Her journey with childhood feeding started when her 3-year old, as she says, fell off the growth chart. What she discovered included more questions than answers – at first. In 2017, she founded Kids Eat In Color, a popular online resource that helps children and families from all backgrounds have better nutrition and mental health via access to expert, actionable information. Prior to starting Kids Eat In Color, she coordinated youth nutrition programs at a food bank, performed research in inner city food deserts, and consulted for the USDA. Our conversation is another mom-centric goldmine of real world advice and reliability. Jennifer and her brand take all parents as they are; no food is good or bad – and if you did your best, what you did was good. Even if our hurdles, and those of our kids, seem unique at the moment – we’re all in this together. You will learn about...

It took years of trial and error for Dr. Becky Campbell to discover she suffered from Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, a condition which meant her body couldn’t break down histamines. Certain foods – even the “healthy” ones – would leave her with a crippling migraine or feeling exhausted.

She cured her body and formulated the four phase histamine reset plan that helps you identify your lifestyle and food triggers and eliminate the ingredients causing you to feel bad.  We discuss how you can spot if you have histamine intolerance, the dietary steps that will combat a myriad of issues such as vertigo, allergies, migraines, and the supplements that can support your system.

It’s hard to believe that holistic psychiatrist, Dr. Kelly Brogan, spent the initial segment of her career connecting mental issues to the “right” pharmaceutical prescriptions.

Collaborating with the founders of Drybar and Squeeze, Okay Humans is normalizing seeking help by helping people embrace therapy as part of their wellness journey.  It’s ok to not be ok, but you don’t have to be a victim to your circumstances or past trauma. Both Christy and I share how therapy has helped us heal along different touchpoints of our lives, and why the future of talk therapy should be a “feel good” experience, even if you’re not quite there yet internally.  Going to your therapist should be as normal as going to the hairdresser or dentist, and thanks to gamechangers like Christy it can be.

Dr. Austin Perlmutter builds the bridge between traditional health education and execution by examining how our ability to make good choices, not only has a knock on effect on dietary decisions but on our mental health as well.

Dr. Ana-Maria Temple's personal journey is an inspiring pain-to-purpose tale so many mothers out there can relate to. Exhausted from the dead end approach of traditional medicine to treat her young children's allergies, asthma, and severe eczema, she purged her family pantry, much to the disapproval of the medical and mommy world, and transformed her family's food and lifestyle habits. She single-handedly turned everything around in five years, and today, she helps hundreds of patients implement changes that solve the root cause of so many chronic illnesses.  We unpick how the standard American diet (doused in dairy, gluten, stress, and unnecessary distractions) created a generation of burned-out kids.

There’s no shaming or shortcuts in her slow-and-steady solution that puts our minds on track to make the food decisions that make us happy and healthy.  Today we uncover how societal conditioning around food sets us up for failure, how companies profit from cravings, and the long-term tactics we can employ to untangle ourselves from dangerous fast food messaging and addictive habits.  You will learn about...

It took Dr. Will Siu 15 years of medical training and a slew of certifications from UCLA, the University of Oxford, and Harvard Medical School before realizing he was not truly happy. After years chasing happiness and career gratification through hoops dictated by what he defines as “perceived values,” he found himself depressed, empty, and searching for true purpose.  After encountering the world of psychedelics through a friend, he decided to explore their potential for healing – first for himself, and now for his patients. After my traumatic birth experience with Sebastian, I turned to Dr. Will Siu for the emotional release I couldn’t get from sitting on a couch. The guttural shrieks and cries I expressed during that 90-minute session in his LA office finally closed the circle to the traumatic loop I had been locked in.  In this episode, we unfold Dr. Will Siu’s fascinating career trajectory and enlightening perspective on therapy and psychedelics, debunking a few myths along the way. Finally, we reflect on the different ways we can give ourselves permission to feel, express ourselves, and live an existence that’s authentically ours.  You will learn about...

In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones demystifies female and male hormonal issues by shining a light on the most common symptoms and challenges she sees her clients go up against.  We’re a generation of hormonally-challenged individuals who’ve spent too long brushing symptoms off as “just the way things are.” To make matters worse, testing is time sensitive and so the hormonal cycle can find itself in a perpetual state of dysregulation. Add toxins, stress-inducers, and technology into the mix, and it’s not surprising that our bodies get overwhelmed and stuck in a yo-yo state of fight or flight.  Plus: we break down circadian rhythms and the knock-on effect they have on your insides. As always, you’ll come out of this episode with actionable and accessible changes you can implement in your routine, from getting your lymphatic system into gear to choosing the right deodorant prepping your body to glide easily through menopause.  You will learn about...

Denise Vasi has always refused to be put in a box. As a highly successful model, actress, and the founder of Maed, an inclusive wellness community, she has continuously sought to carve out a space that allows her to shine fully.  Motherhood flipped a switch for Denise, and she began exploring – and sharing – her experience as she sought to detox her skin, body, and surroundings while being an inspirational and intentional mother to her daughter and son. Her content struck a chord with her ever-evolving, online community, and Maed was launched (from her bathroom) in 2018.  She reveals the secrets to self-care and mindful beauty that she inherited from her grandmother and how she creates time for herself, despite a jam-packed schedule.

MD, midwife, and herbalist, Dr. Aviva Romm, is lifting the lid on the hidden hormone pandemic. With over 80% of American women reaching out to a doctor with hormone concerns, it’s a subject that needs to be front and center of the collective health conversation. Instead, all too often, women are overwhelmed by a spectrum of health issues swept under the rug – by society and the medical field – as part and parcel of “being a woman.” Your gender is not a diagnosis. Painful periods and menopause, endometriosis,  PCOS, and fertility problems are cues telling us something is out of balance in the body. Thankfully, Dr. Romm is helping women self-assess their internal landscape, empowering us with the knowledge, data, and actionable steps to rewire our hormonal health.  In this episode, she explains the symptoms to look out for from puberty to menopause, and the lifestyle tools to employ to nourish your body – and hormone levels – from the inside out.  You will learn about...

Today’s guests are two friends and people I have looked up to for a long time, Diana Rodgers and Robb Wolf. Diana Rodgers is a registered dietitian with a clinical practice helping people recover their health through real food. Her blog, Sustainable Dish, started as a healthy, locally-sourced recipe site, but has grown into a much deeper dive into food systems. She has also spent the last 18 years living and working on an organic farm that grows vegetables and raises pasture-raised meat. She met Robb Wolf in 2011 after reading his book, “The Paleo Solution,” which has sold nearly a million copies. Robb trained as a research biochemist, and he discovered that the optimal human diet is one that most closely mimics our ancestral ways of eating before the invention of ultra-processed foods.  Both of them have dealt with severe digestive issues, have minds that question everything, and are always looking to find the truth behind commonly held beliefs. In addition to their firsthand production and deep backgrounds in science, they have read many books, interviewed experts, and attended a remarkable number of conferences around agriculture. Their new book and film “Sacred Cow” is going to debunk, using real science, the lies you’ve been told about red meat. I truly believe that our bodies — and the world — will be healthier because of them. You will learn about...
