Episode 130: Why You Are Reacting to Everything Including The SUN - Bioenergetic Intolerance Elimination
Have you reached the point where you feel like you're reacting to almost everything you eat, breathe or touch? In this episode, we’re talking about the connection between mold exposure, food sensitivities, extreme dietary restrictions, and Bioenergetic Intolerance Elimination (BIE).I share examples from my practice of clients who have developed incredibly restrictive diets after dealing with severe mold exposure and environmental sensitivities, sometimes getting down to only a handful of foods they feel safe eating. While elimination diets can be helpful temporarily, avoiding large numbers of foods for years or even a lifetime is not necessarily the ideal goal.We’ll talk about why some people can become increasingly reactive, the importance of looking beyond simply eliminating another food, and the role that gut health, inflammation, the immune system, the nervous system and environmental factors can play in overall sensitivity.I also explain Bioenergetic Intolerance Elimination (BIE), what it is, how a session works, why some people use it for food and environmental sensitivities, and where it may fit into a broader holistic approach.If you’re struggling with mold-related illness, food sensitivities, environmental allergies, digestive issues, or an increasingly restrictive diet, this episode will help you look at your symptoms from a different perspective and consider whether the goal should be lifelong avoidance or finding ways to support greater resilience and tolerance.Save 15-30% OFF my favourite protein with code 'MARLA': https://www.equipfoods.com/MARLAClearly Filtered water filters (code CFPartner for 10% off): https://get.aspr.app/SH1oJ3 Beef organ sticks and beef tallow(code 'MARLA'): https://lineageprovisions.com/MARLAWork with me: https://holisticspring.com/contact

We also examine CDC biomonitoring data showing how widespread glyphosate exposure is among Americans, including children.You’ll learn about the potential mechanisms researchers are investigating, including oxidative stress, DNA damage, immune dysfunction, inflammation, and gut microbiome disruption, and why reducing unnecessary pesticide exposure may be an important part of a long-term approach to health.In this episode:Glyphosate use across the United StatesIowa, agricultural regions, and cancer ratesGlyphosate and non-Hodgkin lymphomaThe research on glyphosate and leukemiaCDC findings on glyphosate exposure in adults and childrenHow glyphosate may contribute to oxidative stress and inflammationPotential effects on the gut microbiome and immune systemPractical ways to reduce everyday pesticide exposureIf you've ever wondered how environmental chemicals may influence cancer risk, immune health, and chronic disease, this episode is for you.Save 15-30% OFF my favourite protein with code 'MARLA': https://www.equipfoods.com/MARLAClearly Filtered water filters (code CFPartner for 10% off): https://get.aspr.app/SH1oJ3 Beef organ sticks and beef tallow(code 'MARLA'): https://lineageprovisions.com/MARLAWork with me: https://holisticspring.com/contact

Episode 126: Is Childhood Obesity a Form of Child Neglect?
Childhood obesity has become so common that many of us have stopped recognizing it as the serious health issue it is. In this episode, I'm tackling one of the most controversial conversations in modern parenting: what responsibility do adults have when it comes to the health of the children they raise?This isn't about body shaming or blaming parents. It's about understanding that children don't buy groceries, prepare meals, or control the food environment they're raised in. As parents and caregivers, we have an incredible opportunity and responsibility to nourish growing bodies with foods that support healthy brains, hormones, immune systems, and lifelong metabolic health.We'll discuss why childhood obesity is about far more than appearance, how ultra-processed foods are affecting children's health, and the small changes families can make to set their kids up for a healthier future.If you're a parent, grandparent, caregiver, or simply someone who cares about the next generation, this is an episode that will challenge you to think differently about what it truly means to care for a child's health.In this episode, you'll learn:Why childhood obesity is a health issue, not a cosmetic one.How the home food environment shapes lifelong eating habits.The hidden health consequences of ultra-processed diets in children.Practical ways to nourish your family without striving for perfection.Why leading by example is one of the most powerful things a parent can do.This episode may be uncomfortable, but the conversations that matter most often are.Save 15-30% OFF my favourite protein with code 'MARLA': https://www.equipfoods.com/MARLAClearly Filtered water filters (code CFPartner for 10% off): https://get.aspr.app/SH1oJ3 60 Day Gut Reset ($200 OFF) - https://checkout.teachable.com/secure/1716725/checkout/order_52y48hdz?coupon_code=SECRETOFFER

Episode 125: Your Home Has a Microbiome. Don't Destroy It
Your home has a microbiome, just like your gut, and trying to sterilize it may actually be working against your health. In this episode, we explore the science behind the home microbiome, why overusing antibacterial cleaners can disrupt beneficial microbial communities, and how this may contribute to allergies, asthma, poor indoor air quality, and the recolonization of more resilient microbes. You'll learn why "clean" doesn't have to mean sterile, simple ways to support a healthier indoor environment, and practical cleaning habits that work with nature instead of against it. This episode may completely change the way you think about cleaning your home.Clearly Filtered water filters (code CFPartner for 10% off): https://get.aspr.app/SH1oJ3 60 Day Gut Reset ($200 OFF) - https://checkout.teachable.com/secure/1716725/checkout/order_52y48hdz?coupon_code=SECRETOFFER

Episode 124: The Art of Contentment: Finding Peace Without Waiting for Life to Be Perfect
We spend so much of our lives waiting to be happy. Waiting until we're healthier, wealthier, more successful, or finally have everything figured out. But what if peace isn't something we find in the future? What if it's something we can practice today? In this episode, we explore the art of contentment and why it's one of the most powerful mindsets for supporting your health, relationships, finances, and overall well-being. We discuss the difference between contentment and complacency, how comparison keeps us stuck, the connection between gratitude and nervous system regulation, and why emotional maturity allows us to find peace even when life isn't perfect.If you've ever felt like you're constantly chasing the next goal or waiting for life to feel "enough," this conversation is your reminder that healing and happiness don't have to be postponed. You can continue growing while also appreciating the life you're living right now.Clearly Filtered water filters (code CFPartner for 10% off): https://get.aspr.app/SH1oJ3 60 Day Gut Reset ($200 OFF) - https://checkout.teachable.com/secure/1716725/checkout/order_52y48hdz?coupon_code=SECRETOFFER
