Your food is nutrient-dead. Here's why you MUST supplement. In this eye-opening continuation with Dr. Victor Dedaj, Dr. Brad reveals the soil depletion crisis that began 90+ years ago and continues destroying your health today. The shocking truth:Soil is depleted of 150+ critical minerals, yet we only use 3 (NPK fertilizers)Calcium deficiency alone is linked to ~150 diseases (from heart disease to cancer)You cannot "eat your way" to health anymore, supplementation is NON-NEGOTIABLEModern wheat bread spikes blood sugar HIGHER than table sugar (glycemic index: 100+ vs. 65)Organic junk food is still junk food, "organic canola oil" is still a toxinThe FDA announces FDA inspections in advance, they know when it's coming The Calcium-Magnesium Lie: Most people are severely deficient in BOTH. But here's what matters:You need BOTH minerals, they work as a team (calcium contracts, magnesium relaxes)The optimal ratio is 1.7:1 to 2.6:1 (calcium to magnesium)Most supplements are dangerously imbalancedIt's not what you take, it's what you ABSORB The Real Solution:Stop eating processed foods (especially modern wheat)Eat cruciferous greens, legumes, and whole foodsTake the RIGHT mineral-based supplements in the RIGHT ratiosMinerals FIRST, then vitamins (vitamins don't work without minerals)Be patient, health improvement takes 90-120 days This isn't optional.

Dr. Brad and Dr. Victor Dedaj expose the agriculture industry's hidden truth: 95% of wheat in America is sprayed with Roundup (glyphosate) just days before harvest. Not to increase yield, but to kill the plants faster for uniform harvesting.What you need to know: Glyphosate destroys your gut wall and kills beneficial bacteria (your immune system)This triggers fatty liver disease (40 years ago only alcoholics got it, now most Americans have it)Ultra-processed foods contain 1200+ hidden names for corn and sugar, you have NO IDEA what you're eatingYour detox organs (liver, gut, kidneys) are overwhelmed and failingMedications mask symptoms instead of addressing the root causeDoctors see 80-100 patients per day and don't have time to actually help you This isn't conspiracy theory.

Your erectile dysfunction, low libido, and sexual pain aren't your fault, your NERVOUS SYSTEM is stuck in protection mode. In this eye-opening continuation, Pauline Ryeland explains the somatic sex therapy techniques that disconnect your head from your genitals (literally), rewire your nervous system, and restore sexual function that medications can't fix. Discover the shocking truth about:Why porn isn't about sex, it's a dopamine/oxytocin addiction and disconnection IssueThe 4-6 session protocol that gets men and women connected from head → heart → genitals (neurological alignment)Why pelvic floor muscle training changes EVERYTHING (for both men and women)How gentle hand movements can flood your brain with healing chemicals while processing trauma Real stories: Couples having their first satisfying intimate experience after 30 years of "birthday sex"Why the lie you tell yourself about sex is more damaging than the physical dysfunction The real problem: Your body is disconnected from your mind. And your mind is disconnected from pleasure. Blue Zones data shows people in their 90s have sex 2-3 times per week (same as 30-year-olds in America). It's not age, it's disconnection, trauma, and broken beliefs. If you're watching porn as a distraction instead of arousal, if you can't maintain an erection, or if sexual connection feels impossible, your nervous system needs a reset, not another medication.

After 30 years of dieting, Nan Saysana discovered the truth: Willpower isn't the problem. Your hormones are.When you restrict calories to 1200 per day, you're not on a diet, you're in starvation mode. Your body panics and stores EVERYTHING as fat. Even when you quit eating.This episode reveals why every fad diet (Keto, Paleo, Carnivore) fails the same way, and why your emotional eating isn't a character flaw, it's your brain's survival mechanism.What This Episode Covers:How extreme calorie restriction triggers hormonal dysregulation (thyroid, reproductive hormones, leptin/ghrelin)Why dieting loses 33 pounds of muscle but only 2 pounds of fat (the real tragedy)The toxic oil industry secret: cottonseed oil in 90% of fried foods (and why it destroys hormones)Why 1200 calories = starvation mode (and how your body responds)The binge-restrict cycle: Why Monday diets fail by WednesdayHow fad diets like Keto kill people (the science is damning)Why Paleo and Carnivore damage your health (pH imbalance, fiber deficiency, rectal fissures)The emotional root behind 95% of overeating (it's NOT about cupcakes)Why Mediterranean women have different health outcomes (clean olive oil + whole foods)The "curiosity not fury" breakthrough that changes everythingHow self-compassion REWIRES your brain for lasting changeThe triggers: Boredom, stress, loneliness, anxiety (not hunger)Why you can't outrun a bad diet: The hormonal truthThe Real Solution:Stop treating the symptom (what you eat). Start addressing the root cause (why you eat). When you're bored, stressed, or lonely, that's when real change begins. Not with willpower. With curiosity.This isn't about diet perfection. It's about emotional intelligence.Nan transformed from a frustrated teacher struggling with food for 30 years to a life coach helping thousands break the diet cycle. Her message: Be curious, not furious with yourself.Your hormones aren't broken.

Nan Saysana spent 30 YEARS dieting and nothing worked. Until she discovered it wasn't about willpower. It was about her RELATIONSHIP with food.After 30 years of struggling with:Binge eating and emotional eating cyclesVegetarian diets, raw food diets, calorie counting, all failedStarting days with "no more food" then ending in cake and chocolateThe shame spiral of willpower depletionNan discovered the ONE thing diets never address: Why you turn to food when stressed.In this episode with Dr. Brad, Nan reveals:The psychological shift from willpower to mindset (and why it works)Why traditional diets are DESIGNED to failThe comfort food trap: dopamine, cortisol, and stress responseHow changing your THOUGHTS changes your eating habitsHer coaching method: From English teacher to food relationship expertThe Truth About Emotional EatingIt's not laziness. It's not a lack of discipline. When you're stressed, your brain releases cortisol and seeks serotonin. Food delivers that hit. Diets ignore this. Coaching addresses it.This isn't about calorie counting or perfection. It's about rewiring how you THINK about food, stress, and yourself.Stop fighting willpower.

Your digestive system isn't just about avoiding bloating. It's literally the foundation of every health outcome, from immunity to hormones to mental health. Dr. Lynn Anderson and Dr. Brad expose what functional medicine practitioners know that most doctors ignore: the colon decides your health destiny. What This Episode Reveals: Why bowel function determines 80% of chronic disease outcomes (and nobody talks about it) The 3-part digestive process that fails in modern medicine: Digestion → Assimilation → Elimination Why supplements can't save you if your elimination is broken How the microbiota in your colon decides whether toxins get excreted or recycled The elimination frequency that correlates with zero gastrointestinal disease (hint: it's 3-5 times daily) Why whole foods work synergistically—and isolated nutrients don't The energy field in food (Kirlian photography proof) Why a salad with dressing isn't healthy nutrition How carnivore diet followers are breaking their bodies (and don't even know it) The connection nobody makes: Your uterus location + colon health = cycle problems Why adding 20 pounds during detox is the worst advice in wellness The toxic burden stored in fat tissue (and why clean elimination matters first) The Real Fulcrum: Most people are walking around half-full of waste. No wonder they're sick. Your colon isn't a pit stop, it's mission control for your entire endocrine system, immune system, and metabolic health. 40 Years of Naturopathic Wisdom Dr. Lynn Anderson isn't angry about missed connections. She's strategic. She'll teach you the basic nutritional science that conventional medicine abandoned decades ago: proper digestion, proper assimilation, and proper elimination aren't optional, they're non-negotiable.

But Do Doctors Listen? For decades, functional medicine practitioners have relied on intuition, observation, and genuine human connection skills that were systematized out of healthcare.

This is the pivotal moment in personal transformation. Michael Esposito reveals why giving yourself grace when you fail, not perfection, is what actually changes your life. And why your belief system is literally shaping your health. The Secret They Don't Tell You About Personal Development: Most people quit on the first failure. They expect perfection. They set a goal, mess up, and think they're broken. But what if failure is actually the moment you become unstoppable? This episode reveals: Why failure is the ONLY way to rewire your brain (neuroplasticity science) The grace moment: Why self-compassion beats self-criticism for lasting change How your childhood taught you to handle stress (and how to unlearn it) The belief system trap: Why willpower fails without addressing beliefs Why you're not broken, you're learning The difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset How speaking positively to yourself literally changes your immune system The "bus stop analogy": How to observe your anxiety without getting stuck in it The Real Story: Michael grew up with a screaming, yelling father. At age 12, he got fired from his last job and realized he needed to change, not the world around him, but HIMSELF. He locked himself in a hotel room for 8 hours listening to Tony Robbins. That's when transformation started. But here's the truth: It took him 9 YEARS to fully rewire his stress response. And he STILL struggles sometimes. That's not failure, that's mastery in progress. Reframe Your Relationship with Failure: Failure ≠ broken Failure = feedback Failure = your greatest teacher If you're stuck in perfectionism, beating yourself up for mistakes, or wondering why positive thinking isn't "working", this episode changes everything. Your belief system is literally controlling your health. Start rewiring it today.Join thousands reclaiming their power through grace, not perfection.-------------------00:00 Letting Go in Meditation02:12 The Journey to Self-Worth04:44 Positive Self-Talk and Its Impact07:56 The Power of Spoken Words10:40 Belief Systems and Change12:09 Learning to Deal with Stress15:40 Grace and Time in Personal Development19:31 Embracing Failure as a Learning Tool25:45 The Non-Linear Path of Healing-------------------Follow & Connect with Dr. Brad:📲 Instagram: @healthfullyu🌐 Website: healthfullyu.com▶️ YouTube: Your Health ReclaimedFollow & Connect with Michael Esposito:🌐 Website: michaelespositoinc.com 📲 Facebook: www.facebook.com/michaelespositoinc 📲 Instagram: www.instagram.com/michael.a.esposito/?hl=en▶️ YouTube:
Your job isn't just stressing you out. It's actively destroying your immune system. Dr. Brad and Michael Esposito reveal how working outside your purpose creates chronic illness, autoimmune disease, and burnout and how meditation and self-worth can reverse it. The Truth About Chronic Illness:Most doctors miss this: 75% of your immune system is in your gut. When chronic stress reduces blood flow to your gut lining, it atrophies and "leaks like a sieve." This dumps toxins into your bloodstream, overwhelming your immune system. This episode covers: Why doing work that doesn't align with your purpose makes you chronically ill The meditation practice that scared Michael more than any risk: facing yourself How imposter syndrome (and burnout) literally dysregulate your hormones The "bus stop meditation" technique for handling anxiety without getting stuck in it How babies develop ADHD and anxiety IN THE WOMB from maternal stress Why your gut microbiome is identical to your reproductive tract (and why this matters for your health) The role of self-worth in immune function and healing The Science: Stress → Reduced gut blood flow → Leaky gut → Immune system overload → Chronic disease If you're constantly sick, tired, or fighting autoimmune issues, you might be working the wrong job for the wrong reasons. Listen as Michael shares his firing story and how recognizing his lack of self-worth became the first step to transformation. Then discover how meditation (not medication) can reset your nervous system and restore your health. Your health isn't just physical.
