EP 8: Are you getting 7-13 servings of fruits and veggies a day? Tune in and learn how we do so effortlessly.

A diet rich in vegetables and fruits can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, prevent some types of cancer, lower risk of eye and digestive problems, and have a positive effect upon blood sugar, which can help keep appetite in check. The recommended daily allowance is 7-13 servings a DAY. Are you getting that many in? Are your kids?  We eat pretty healthy around my house but even we struggle with getting that many servings in and my mom guilt was getting annoying so after meeting Loretta I became serious about putting my money where it was important - nutrition.  Tune into this episode to learn all about health, nutrition and prevention with guest speaker Loretta Wilkins.

Ep. 5- One Vaccine Is All It Took- SIDS surviving mom Leigh of Brooks Mission Shares her story of losing her son

This episode may include some triggers for individuals that have suffered with infant loss. The purpose of this episode is to bring awareness around SIDS and the potential risks of vaccines.  "There are unansewered questions about vaccine safety. No one should be threatened by the pursuit of this knowledge" Bernadine Healy, MD, former director, National Institutes of Health (NIH)  Leigh of Brooks Mission [https://www.brooksmission.com/], shares her heart wrenching journey of losing her son 20 days after the DTAP (whooping cough) vaccine. She knew the risks of vaccines, she did not give any vaccines in the hospital, her plan was to space them out and he got his first and only vaccine at 3 months old. In a devestating turn of events they found out that for some children, one shot it all it takes and their sweet Brooks never woke up from his nap on May 20th 2021. He was a perfectly healthy and thriving baby in every way prior to his death. They soon found out that the nightmare they were living occurs to approximately 2000 babies a year.  SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is the leading cause of death in infants from 1 to 12 months.  Despite the significance of this statistic, researchers know as much now about the causes as they did 50 years ago.  There are no treatments.  There are no tests.  They are determined to have Brooks remembered as having made a difference in this world. In his name, they have helped over 60 families navigate through the loss of a child. Through a variety of events, they have also raised awareness surrounding SIDS as well. Since October 2021, they have helped over 60 families. Many families do not have employers who stand behind them while they grieve. Many families do not have the type of community surrounding them that we had at our lowest points. Your support of Brooks Mission will help families at their lowest moment. Your support will allow families the opportunity to grieve uninterrupted, without the additional stressors of life. Your support will hopefully allow researchers to continue to look for ways to prevent the tragedy our family endured in the future.  You can find Leigh on Instagram @authenticleigh_ and @brooks_mission.

Ep. 4- Order your own lab testing, skip the middle man and stop outsourcing your health!

This might be the shortest podcast episode of all time but I like to get straight to the point when it's needed Members of The Crunchy Club now have the ability to order their own lab tests at practitioner pricing! SAY WHAT? I am so excited to be offering this, you can literally save HUNDREDS of dollars on tests for leaky gut, mold, SIBO, mold, lyme, mineral analysis, heavy metals, nuerotransmitters, toxicity levels, auto-immune, allergy testing...I mean it's insanely exciting. Cut out the middle man (sorry, not sorry doctors) and order what YOU want to when YOU want to at a fraction of the cost! I also give a quick story of my struggle with anxiety/excessive worry and my 6 year olds struggle with it as well. It turns out for us, a big part of the puzzle was we were low in GABA and now we supplement with it. I am beyond thankful that we ordered the nuerotransmitter test and discovered that was a huge root cause for us. In all of my years battling anxiety not ONE doctor mentioned to do a nuerotransmitter test. NOT ONE. That truth can be disheartening and they use to make me feel hopeless, but I no longer outsource my health to white coats and have regained my health and hope because of it. I want the same for you friends.  Quick 4 min video below to show how the process works: https://www.loom.com/share/35fc7c2388c543c38319ffb9f9fd7f37 [https://www.loom.com/share/35fc7c2388c543c38319ffb9f9fd7f37] You can also find the video link in my bio over on instagram @thecrunchy.club
