Rooted in Resilience

In this groundbreaking episode, Georgi Dinkov shares astonishing updates on his cancer research that directly challenges the mainstream cancer treatment model. We dive deep into the real role of estrogen and androgens in cancer development, why modern treatments may be doing more harm than good, and how Georgi’s self-funded studies are showing tumor regression — without relying on toxic therapies. If you're interested in true root-cause healing, bioenergetics, and the future of cancer therapy, this conversation is a must-listen. Stay tuned for how vitamins, aspirin, pregnenolone, progesterone, and a different perspective on energy metabolism are changing everything we thought we knew. 👉 Support Georgi’s research by visiting idealabsdc.com. ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe To The Rooted In Resilience Podcast: ⭐ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCSpofOL75STGMvUUlD5em7g  ⭐ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3NTIxm2iqgIdnqI2j2FICr?si=477cfb0440fe40ce ⭐ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rooted-in-resilience/id1663060063 ______________________________________________________________________ Keep Up With Us! 🖥️ Website: https://www.armstrongsisters.com/ 🗞️ Newsletter: https://www.armstrongsisters.com/newsletter-signup 👩🏼‍🌾 Our Farm CoOp, Nourish: https://nourishcooperative.com/  {The highest quality food you can find, delivered directly to your door.

In this empowering follow-up to their previous episode on breast milk, Sarah and Ashley take a deep dive into how the modern diet has transformed the fatty acid composition of breast milk—and what that means for a child’s lifelong health. From allergies and immune suppression to metabolic issues, cognitive development, and even cancer risk, the girls explore how polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) are impacting babies from day one. But it’s not all doom and gloom. They break down the science behind breast milk composition, share real studies, and most importantly, offer practical, hopeful strategies for how moms (and future moms) can shift their diet—even within days—to radically improve their baby’s nourishment and resilience. Whether you're already breastfeeding, planning for pregnancy, or just curious about food’s generational impact, this episode will leave you informed and inspired. 00:00 – Coming Up 00:47 – Mother's Breast Milk Has Undergone a Radical Transformation 02:31 – Explanation of How Breast Milk Now Mimics Formula in Fatty Acid Profile 04:14 – Historical Data on Rise of Linoleic Acid in Breast Milk 05:53 – Allergies and Breast Milk Composition 09:20 – Metabolic Suppression and PUFAs as Immunosuppressants 11:59 – Consequences of PUFAs in Milk: Cognitive Impairments, Autism, and ADHD 14:03 – Childhood Obesity and Early-Life PUFA Exposure 16:30 – Body Fat and Metabolic Impact of High PUFA Diets 18:14 – Trans Fats in Breast Milk 20:00 – Breast Milk: Fat- vs Mineral-Derived Content 22:04 – Linoleic Acid and Mammary Tumors 24:14 – 1985 Study: Diet Changes Breast Milk Fat in 3 Days 25:38 – Low-Calorie Diets During Breastfeeding and Fat Stores 27:52 – How to Optimize Fat Quality in the Maternal Diet 29:10 – Saturated Fat vs Carbs During Breastfeeding 31:57 – Beneficial Saturated Fats: CLA and C15:0 From Dairy 34:10 – Raw Milk, History, and Ancestral Practices 36:42 – Milk vs Milk Replacements: Nutrient Comparison 39:00 – Fast Shifts in Milk Composition—Encouraging Data 41:00 – Central Nervous System Risks From High PUFA Exposure 42:21 – Prioritizing Whole Food Fats Over Added Fats 44:25 – Calorie Balance and Metabolic Consequences 48:22 – Total Fat, Type of Fat, and Weight Timing Matters 49:57 – Fertility Focus: Prepping Body and Family Health 51:32 – Closing Message: Empowerment Through Better Food Sourcing

In this powerful episode, Ashley and Sarah dive deep into the science behind breast milk and how a mother’s nutrition—*before and during pregnancy*—can shape the gut health, cognitive development, and immune system of her baby. From Human Milk Oligosaccharides (HMOs) to the rise of PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids) in modern diets, they explore how we got so far from nature, and what we can do to get back.Discover why breast milk composition isn't fixed, how the fatty acids in your body impact your child, and what recent research is saying about the connections between diet, autism, metabolism, and more.Whether you're already a parent, planning for the future, or just passionate about reclaiming real health—this conversation will leave you informed and inspired.________________________________________________________Subscribe To The Rooted In Resilience Podcast:⭐ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCSpofOL75STGMvUUlD5em7g ⭐ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3NTIxm2iqgIdnqI2j2FICr?si=477cfb0440fe40ce⭐ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rooted-in-resilience/id1663060063____________________________________________________________ Keep Up With Us!🖥️ Website: https://www.armstrongsisters.com/🗞️ Newsletter: https://www.armstrongsisters.com/newsletter-signup👩🏼‍🌾 Our Farm CoOp, Nourish: https://nourishcooperative.com/ {The highest quality food you can find, delivered directly to your door.

In this episode of *Rooted in Resilience*, we welcome our first guest of the season—health coach and bioenergetic researcher Jay Feldman—for a deep dive into the world of ice baths, hormesis, and stress-driven health trends. From the truth about fat burning and cold exposure to how our metabolism adapts (or shuts down) under chronic stress, we unpack the biochemical realities behind popular biohacks. We also explore how short-term boosts might come at the cost of long-term metabolic health—and what a truly sustainable health approach looks like.Whether you’re a cold plunge fan or someone navigating the aftermath of restrictive diets, this episode is a must-listen. ______________________________________________________________________ Subscribe To The Rooted In Resilience Podcast:⭐ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCSpofOL75STGMvUUlD5em7g ⭐ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3NTIxm2iqgIdnqI2j2FICr?si=477cfb0440fe40ce⭐ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rooted-in-resilience/id1663060063 ______________________________________________________________________ Keep Up With Us!🖥️ Website: https://www.armstrongsisters.com/🗞️ Newsletter: https://www.armstrongsisters.com/newsletter-signup👩🏼‍🌾 Our Farm CoOp, Nourish: https://nourishcooperative.com/ {The highest quality food you can find, delivered directly to your door.
