In this episode, we’re digging into a topic that underlies everything we do in functional medicine but rarely gets the airtime it deserves: somatic ways to reduce stress. We step outside the usual conversations about labs, supplements, pathophysiology, and food as medicine to talk about what it actually looks like to regulate your nervous system in real life. Because while “reduce your stress” is one of the most common recommendations in a healing protocol, very few people are ever taught how to do that in a tangible, embodied way. This is a deeply practical episode focused on helping you release stored tension and trapped stress from the body using simple somatic tools. We explore why trauma and chronic stress don’t just live in your brain--they can show up as disease, pain, and symptoms in your body and can get in the way of healing. You’ll walk away with approachable techniques you can start using immediately to calm your nervous system, improve resilience, and support your body’s ability to heal.

This week on the Naturally Nourished Podcast, we’re digging into the newly released governmental nutrition guidelines. If you’ve been around here for any length of time, you know our core message has always been simple: eat real food. So imagine our surprise when these updated guidelines actually move closer to that exact philosophy, emphasizing whole foods, nutrient density, and fewer ultra-processed ingredients. It’s not perfect, but it’s a meaningful shift in the right direction, and one we never thought we’d see from official policy. In this episode, we break down what the guidelines got right, where they still miss the mark, and what this all means for real families navigating grocery stores, school lunches, and confusing nutrition messaging. We also revisit Ali’s Optimal Eating Wheel she developed back in 2014 and compare it side-by-side with today’s recommendations — and yes, she was about a decade ahead of her time. We share our top critiques from a food-as-medicine lens and unpack the potential ripple effects on schools, SNAP, and institutional food systems so you can understand how these changes may actually show up in everyday life.

Are you intimidated by eating organs or unsure how to add more nutrient density to your diet without it feeling overwhelming? In this episode, we sit down with chef James Barry to take the “yuck” factor out of preparing and eating organ meats. We break down why organs are truly nature’s multivitamin, how sourcing and preparation make all the difference, and how simple tools—like James’s organ-based seasoning, Pluck—can make this powerful superfood an easy, delicious part of everyday meals. In this conversation, we also dive into why organ meats fell out of favor, how modern food culture has disconnected us from nutrient-dense eating, and why mindfulness around food matters just as much as what’s on your plate. James shares practical, real-life strategies for getting organs into the diet without overwhelm—from beginner-friendly swaps and family-approved recipes to the best ways to season, cook, and source organs for optimal flavor and nutrition. Whether you’re organ-curious or just looking for smarter ways to upgrade your meals, this episode is packed with approachable education and takeaways you can actually use. More about James Barry:  James Barry’s 20 years in the culinary field started as a private chef cooking for celebrities such as Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Gerard Butler, Mariska Hargitay (of Law & Order:SVI fame), Barbra Streisand, and John Cusack. James is CEO & Founder of the organ-based, superfood seasoning, Pluck. It's the first of its kind and an amazingly easy and delicious way for people to get organ meats into their diet.   James is also a published cookbook author having co-authored the recipes in Margaret Floyd’s book Eat Naked and Dr. Alejandro Junger’s book, Clean 7. He authored the cookbook The Naked Foods Cookbook. He is the host of the podcast, Everyday Ancestral.   Also in this episode:  James’s Story Why people are intimidated by eating organs Why real food, nutrient density, and mindfulness are so important Why sourcing organs matters How to get organs into the diet Favorite organ recipes Grilled Chicken Hearts  Organ Pate and Puree Seeking Whole Health Conference (meet James and Ali here!)

Are you ready to feel grounded, energized, and confident in your wellness this year? Are you tired of starting January with restriction instead of nourishment? Do you want habits that actually stick and support your metabolism, hormones, and mental health? In this episode, Ali and Becki kick off the new year by sharing five foundational ways to invest in your wellness so your routines feel craveworthy, not forced. We discuss how pleasure, satisfaction, and real food are essential for sustainability, how to navigate cravings without shame, and why creating routines your body desires leads to lasting change. We also dive into supporting detox pathways, balancing blood sugar, and understanding how hormonal shifts—especially changes in estrogen—impact insulin sensitivity and metabolism as women age. Ali and Becki cover practical strategies for metabolic flexibility, the role of gratitude in nervous system and metabolic regulation, and why getting outside daily may be one of the most powerful (and overlooked) tools for stress resilience and healing.  Also in this episode:  Keto Reset Masterclass: 1/7/26 at 12pm CST  10-day Detox Masterclass: 1/5/26 at 12pm CST Keto Reset Program use code RESET75 Make your wellness craveworthy Super Greens Cubes FOND Bone Broth use code ALIMILLERRD Red Light Mask LumeBox Red Light use code BECKIYOO PEMF & Red Light Mat use code BeckiYoo10fs Addressing food cravings Naturally Nourished Episode 472 Good, Better, Best with Brenda … You Glow Girl Tea Support Your Detox Pathways E3 Live Beam Minerals Cellular Antiox Balance Your Blood Sugar The Role of Estrogen in Insulin Resistance: A Review of Clinical and Preclinical Data - ScienceDirect Naturally Nourished Episode 395 Testing Women's Hormones KetoMojo Nutrisense Practice Gratitude Naturally Nourished Episode 164 Make Positivity Louder and Keto … Work with Becki use code BECKIPACK for 10% off Get Outside Naturally Nourished Episode 424 How Daily Walking Can Transform … Naturally Nourished Episode 322 Nature as Medicine | Ali Miller RD Ali & Becki’s Words for the Year Emerging Trends in the Wellness Space EMF Mitigation Aires Tech This episode is sponsored by the Naturally Nourished Food-as-Medicine Keto Reset.

SSRI prescriptions are more common than ever—but how much do we really understand about how they work, their true efficacy, and their potential downsides? In this episode, we take a deep dive into the world of SSRIs, breaking down their mechanism of action and why their use has skyrocketed in recent years.   We unpack the growing concern around emotional blunting, a well-documented effect that can leave individuals feeling flat, disconnected, or lacking drive. You’ll learn why the serotonin deficiency model falls short, what SSRIs actually do in the brain, and why so many people are placed on them without a root-cause approach. We also explore powerful food-as-medicine and lifestyle strategies proven to support mood: from low-glycemic eating and amino acid repletion, to gut health, micronutrients, and more. If you're looking to understand the full picture of SSRIs and discover evidence-backed alternatives for mental wellness, this episode is a must-listen.   Also in this episode:  Free Detox Webinar Naturally Nourished Black Friday Starts Now - use code SAVE10 for 10% off all supplements Naturally Nourished Academy Now Enrolling with Early Bird Pricing Through 12/31 Give the Gift of Wellness with Naturally Nourished Gift Cards Episode 160: Neurotransmitters Part 1 The Anti Anxiety Diet What is Serotonin Sleep Support Low vs. High Serotonin What are SSRIs?

In this episode of the Naturally Nourished Podcast, we focus on three key hormones that can significantly impact metabolism: insulin, leptin, and cortisol. Each of these hormones plays an essential role in regulating energy, hunger, and stress, and when imbalances occur, they may be the underlying cause of a metabolic stall or plateau. The conversation explores how insulin resistance can block fat burn, how leptin resistance can interfere with satiety signals, and how cortisol dysregulation can drive cravings and fat storage. We discuss practical strategies for identifying when these hormones are out of balance, along with food-as-medicine approaches, lifestyle modifications, and targeted supplementation to help restore harmony and support optimal metabolic function.
