S2E4: NTP Student Roundtable PART II

Descripción

You'll often hear host Jamie Belz say that the Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) program changed her life. In this follow-up roundtable episode of the Body Wisdom Podcast, Jamie welcomes back three current NTP students, Michlind Wierman, Alyson Voltz, and Katie Lyche, for an honest, encouraging, and insightful conversation about what has changed since they last joined her on the show. When these women first appeared on the podcast, they were only a few months into their studies with the Nutritional Therapy Association's May 2025 cohort, sharing what they were learning and how the Foundations of Health were already beginning to shift their perspectives. Now, nearly a year later and just weeks away from graduation, they're back to reflect on how the NTP program has deepened their confidence, transformed their personal health, and equipped them to help others pursue true wellness. From blood sugar regulation and nutrient-dense eating to sleep, hydration, digestion, stress, movement, and bio-individuality, this conversation is full of simple but powerful reminders that health does not have to be complicated. In fact, some of the biggest changes came from the smallest, most practical shifts. Hear how these soon-to-be practitioners have experienced real-life transformation through foundational nutrition and lifestyle support: * Michlind shares how eating breakfast, balancing blood sugar, prioritizing protein, and improving sleep gave her more stable energy and renewed confidence in helping others reclaim their health. * Katie reflects on how the NTP program helped her better understand digestion, Crohn's disease, sleep struggles, nervous system regulation, and the simple habits that have made a meaningful impact in daily life. * Alyson talks about applying nutritional therapy principles to marathon training, hydration, electrolyte balance, blood sugar stability, and her future work in radiation therapy. Together, they discuss: * What surprised them most as they moved through the program and began working with practice clients. * How blood sugar regulation affects everyone, not just those with a diabetes diagnosis. * Why sleep is one of the most underrated foundations of health and how better sleep starts first thing in the morning. * The real-life power of simple habits like post-meal walks, grounding, balanced meals, hydration, minerals, and eating enough protein. * How the live classroom environment, instructors, discussion forums, and student community make the NTP experience so unique. * Why bio-individuality matters so much and how what works for one person may not work the same way for another. * The importance of making small, sustainable changes instead of chasing all-or-nothing health goals. This episode is packed with practical wellness takeaways, personal stories, and encouraging insight for anyone who wants to feel better but doesn't know where to start. If you've ever wondered whether small changes really matter, this conversation is your reminder that they do. Often, the most powerful shifts in health come from simple daily choices practiced with consistency and intention. Tune in for an inspiring look at what happens when people learn to honor bio-individuality, build on the Foundations of Health, and take ownership of their wellness one step at a time.

S2E9: What To Do When Everything Is Poison - with Michelle Perro

From ultra-processed foods and pesticides to environmental toxins, pharmaceuticals, and chronic disease, it can feel overwhelming to try to make sense of it all - - - especially when our health "authorities" seem to continuously change their minds about what's good for us and what's killing us - - - and everything seems to be poison now. In this eye-opening conversation, Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC, sits down with veteran pediatrician, integrative physician, author, speaker, and health freedom fighter, and author Dr. Michelle Perro, MD, DHom, to discuss one of the biggest questions of today: How do we pursue true health in an increasingly toxic world? Drawing from more than four decades of clinical experience, Dr. Perro shares her perspective on the growing health challenges affecting children and adults alike, why so many people are searching for answers outside conventional approaches, and what practical steps individuals can take to reclaim their health. Together, Jamie and Michelle dive into topics including: • What's making our children sick and how we can begin making them well • Glyphosate, GMOs, fluoride, and environmental toxic burden • The MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement and why it continues to gain momentum • Why curiosity is one of the most important skills we can develop in today's world • The importance of critical thinking and informed decision-making • Finding trustworthy health information in an age of information overload • Lyme disease, chronic illness, and environmental health concerns • The role of food as the foundation of physical and mental wellness • Transhumanism, AI, technology, and the future of human health • Why community matters when pursuing a different path toward wellness • How young people can become empowered advocates for their own health • Why the choices we make today may impact future generations One of the most powerful themes throughout this conversation is the idea that health is often visible. Spend time around people who prioritize nutrient-dense food, clean water, movement, sunshine, meaningful relationships, and foundational wellness, and you'll often notice a difference. There is a vibrance, energy, resilience, and optimism that stands out. Jamie and Michelle discuss how surrounding yourself with people who value health can accelerate your own journey and help you stay the course when the path feels unconventional. Whether it's attending a health conference, joining a local Weston A. Price chapter, connecting with practitioners, or simply finding friends who share similar values, this episode highlights the importance of finding community and support as you pursue a healthier life. Most importantly, this conversation is a reminder that lasting change starts with paying attention. Asking questions. Staying curious. Learning to think critically. And taking ownership of the choices that shape your health and the future health of those around you. Please subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode!
