Calvin Scheller is an 18-year-old science extraordinaire who began studying and mastering medical literature in order to better communicate with his physicians after his own experience with autoimmune disease at the young age of 13. His courageous journey of self advocacy during a time when he felt alone and baffled by his symptoms led him to memorize, digest, integrate, and teach others about the complex mechanisms within our bodies (and how to heal through nutrition and lifestyle). He is a superb science communicator and now health coach – taking the difficulty out of reading medical studies, and putting the power of their information in our hands. Today, Calvin gives us a master class on insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, PCOS and why carbohydrates are NOT the cause of these conditions. We discuss the dietary factors that contribute to insulin resistance (and the many misconceptions you’ll find online), as well as the best ways to increase your insulin sensitivity and master your metabolic health well into old age.  HERE’S THE JUICE: Why carbohydrates are not the cause of insulin resistance How excess dietary fat is more problematic for insulin resistance than excess carbs or sugar Why saturated fats can be more inflammatory within the context of insulin resistance than plant fats The true mechanism behind insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome: excess fatty acids within our cells How we can burn off the fatty acids that cause insulin resistance and why blood sugar spikes aren’t the FULL issue, they’re more of an effect Why insulin resistance begins and how it’s actually an adaptation How inflammation also drives insulin resistance and other holistic factors you need to take into account like chronic gut infections, to mineral deficiencies like zinc, to stress, processed foods, sleep issues and more Why insulin resistance within the ovaries is specifically tied to PCOS and exactly how to target this with diet and lifestyle   Watch the full episode on What’s The Juice YouTube Channel  To shop our new PCOS protocol “The Cysters Kit” at 15% off, click HERE   To support our ad-free show, shop Olivia’s line of herbalist-formulated supplements for digestion, anxiety, thyroid support, and more by visiting www.organicolivia.com.   Connect with Calvin: Instagram YouTube Connect with Olivia: Follow Organic Olivia  Olivia’s personal IG Organic Olivia on TikTokRead Olivia’s blog posts   Links Mentioned: Alan Aragon’s Research Review Papers  
We’re kicking things off with an impromptu hello and life update from Olivia — then diving into the nitty gritty with Courtney Swan, a real food activist who is on a mission to fix our broken food system. Today she’s answering the question: are GMOs safe for consumption? There are five genetically modified crops on the market that have become so abundant that they’re used in almost all packaged foods… knowing what they are and where they’re found is the key to learning how to eat your way around corruption in our food supply. In this episode, Courtney articulately breaks down the practices being used in agriculture today – clarifying ways we can be supporting farmers doing things right (and tangible ways to not fall victim to our current food system).   HERE’S THE JUICE: What are the five genetically modified foods? WHY do we have such an overabundance of them on the market? What food lobbying is and why soda is more accessible on food stamps than produce How monocropping is negatively affecting farmers   How food hybridization and genetically modifying our crops are not the same practice What the problem with corn is now, and why we are continually overfed and undernourished Why seed oils are in so many of our foods – creation from industrial waste products  The best practices that you can adopt day-to-day to help decrease your consumption of seed oils and reduce inflammation    Connect with Courtney: https://www.realfoodology.com/ IG & TikTok: @Realfoodology The Realfoodology Podcast: https://www.realfoodology.com/podcast Connect with Olivia: Organic Olivia Instagram  Olivia’s Instagram TikTok   Shop my full line of herbalist-formulated medicinal blends: HERE   Mentioned Documentaries: Genetic Roulette (GMO documentary): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnhB99I86G8 Kiss the Ground (soil documentary): https://kissthegroundmovie.com/ Common Ground (regenerative farming doc): https://commongroundfilm.org/
What if you’ve never actually experienced your true personality? The truth is, when our hormones are out of whack, we’re totally different people. While there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, there are some key ways that we can all reduce inflammation and regulate our hormones, according to Dr. Corina Dunlap, a naturopathic women’s health and hormone specialist. In this episode, she gets juicy about the link between cortisol and ovulation (hint: we’re all too stressed out) and dives deep into the importance of relationships – with others, ourselves and mother nature.    HERE’S THE JUICE: What does it feel like when we’re safe in our bodies? This is what balanced hormones feel like!  How inflammation can affect our mood, and make it hard to understand what our baseline or that “safe” feeling should feel like.  What the “goldilocks hormones” are – we don’t want too little or too much of them!  What the first line of action should be in addressing ovulation issues  Why unplugging your wifi at night could be the best trick to getting better sleep How chronic stress doesn’t allow your body to feel safe enough to digest properly or ovulate The best practices that you can adopt day-to-day to help with inflammation.

Have you ever wondered if it’s possible to reverse the damage we have done to our earth? Have you been told that going vegan is the only way to do so? When Taylor Collins bought 900 acres of factory-farmed land, it was completely barren, desolate, and degraded. But by working with nature’s cycles and reintroducing animals in order to loosen the soil and give back to the land, Taylor transformed his farm into a thriving ecosystem that supports higher crop yields, healthier soil and more nutritious food. In this episode, we talk about the power of connection, the “green narrative,” and what we as consumers can do to help our earth today. The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now – let’s dive in!    HERE’S THE JUICE: How factory farming works against nature’s principles to yield a higher output yet lower nutritional value Taylor’s belief that humans aren’t inherently destructive but our values of “more more more” absolutely are Why monocropping as a “solution” to global food insecurity is promoting a broken system How regenerative farming mimics the cycles of nature and creates community  Why we don’t need to stop eating meat but we need to rethink how we do it The idea that healthy soil is the KEY to nutrient-rich foods and why topsoil is so critical Why “Impossible” Meat isn’t actually a better or more sustainable solution than regeneratively farmed meat Why our farmers are in crisis – both personally and financially  How to vote with our dollars when it comes to food and support the growing community of regenerative farmers    Watch the full episode on What’s The Juice YouTube Channel  To support our ad-free show, shop Olivia’s line of herbalist-formulated supplements for digestion, anxiety, thyroid support, and more by visiting www.organicolivia.com.   Connect with Taylor: Instagram Force of Nature Website Force of Nature Instagram Connect with Olivia: Follow Organic Olivia  Olivia’s personal IG Organic Olivia on TikTok Read Olivia’s blog posts
What if the key to weight loss isn’t actually about what’s on our plates? Today I’m chatting with a true gem of a human being as well as a kick-ass nutritionist. Nicki Parlitsis helps her clients achieve their goals but also understand WHY they might be harming themselves with food through binging or restricted diets. In this episode she unpacks how binging is often a deeper reflection on our lives, showing us exactly what we need to focus on within ourselves to ultimately heal our relationship with food. We also discuss why binging is both an emotional AND physical response for many of us and how we can tune into the signs our bodies are giving us before we start to go down toxic paths.   HERE’S THE JUICE: The difference between physical and emotional binge eating Why women tend to fear gaining muscle and what it actually means to “tone” your body The importance of training your brain in steps and why intuitive eating is a graduate level course in dietetics What an all-or-nothing mindset with food looks like and how it contributes to binge eating The fact that something as simple as thinking about meals as events can help retrain your brain to get out of a snacking mindset and into a space of intentional eating Nicki’s favorite client hack of meal prepping like a chef  Why binge eating is not the problem and how to get to the root of what’s happening in your body Why listening to your hunger cues is the first step to take even if it means abandoning your diet   Watch the full episode on What’s The Juice YouTube Channel    To support our ad-free show, shop Olivia’s line of herbalist-formulated supplements for digestion, anxiety, thyroid support, and more by visiting www.organicolivia.com.    Connect with Nicki: Instagram Website  Just Start Somewhere Application   Connect with Olivia: Follow Organic Olivia  Olivia’s personal IG Organic Olivia on TikTok Read Olivia’s blog posts
When was the last time you did a radical 180 about a long held belief? Today I’m sitting down with a brilliant dentist who was once picketing in the streets for water fluoridation — yet was courageous enough to change her mind and speak out once she dug into the data once and for all. Meet Dr. Staci Whitman, a board-certified dentist who takes a whole-body, holistic and functional approach to oral health. In this episode, Staci unpacks the surprising factors that contribute to the decline of our oral health including mouth breathing, hormones, and gut dysbiosis. She explains why these underlying root causes are ignored by conventional dentistry and exactly what we need to be asking about and advocating for at our dentist appointments.   HERE’S THE JUICE: Functional vs. conventional dentistry and the importance of both Why dental professionals haven't introduced oral microbiome testing as a baseline for all patients  How hormone imbalance is leading to an increase in cavities in women and the signs to look for in prevention What LPS is and how it contributes to pathogenic bacteria overgrowth The fact that we aren’t taught about healthy bacteria and are encouraged to wipe out all our bacteria with products like Listerine  Why dentists are sometimes the first people to diagnose Crohn's disease and how your oral health can inform gut health What a cavity is and how it forms When we may be able to repair cavities without requiring fillings Why mouth breathing is so detrimental to our oral health and how to retrain yourself into healthy breathing habits  Resources and recommendations for the products and services we should be talking to our dentist about to be proactive about our oral health   Watch the full episode on What’s The Juice YouTube Channel  To support our ad-free show, shop Olivia’s line of herbalist-formulated supplements for digestion, anxiety, thyroid support, and more by visiting www.organicolivia.com.    Connect with Staci: Website  Instagram Oral Microbiome Reset Course Her Kid's Dental Practice Fygg - code ORGANICOLIVIA20 for 20% off Connect with Olivia: Follow Organic Olivia  Olivia’s personal IG Organic Olivia on TikTok Read Olivia’s blog posts
Statistically, there are 15 core people in our lives who will show up when sh$# hits the fan – our mother’s funeral, a cancer diagnosis – they’re on the next plane. What if instead of filling our schedules working towards buying more things, we spent time nurturing the relationships that are truly all we have? In a modern day loneliness epidemic, lack of connection is becoming a disease, but our generation can turn it around. Sah D’Simone is here to say that even though relationships are hard, families are messy, and conflict is scary, this is the only path back to love and longevity. Sah is a spiritual leader, hospital chaplain who supports those at the end of life, and international best-selling author of Spiritually We. In this episode, he breaks down how to increase our capacity so that we can hold space for our people and right our relationships.   HERE’S THE JUICE: Why human connection is a basic biological need (and how we’ve gotten so far away) Why pop psychology is doing us a disservice by teaching us to cut off relationships with conflict instead of learning to face it The difference between how easy it is to be spiritual alone in meditation vs. at the family dinner table when triggers come up How to nurture true connection over complain culture and trauma-bonding relationships Why your closest relationships are often the most triggering  How to live with integrity and what a lack of integrity looks like in your closest bonds Why “conflict is your lovers” how to resolve conflict in a healthy way Why time away from your parents may be necessary to grow and heal, but the goal is to always bring it back around Why intellectualizing your feelings and making meaning keeps you from feeling your feelings How to support someone in grief and the magnitude of holding space for loss    Watch the full episode on What’s The Juice YouTube Channel  To support our ad-free show, shop Olivia’s line of herbalist-formulated supplements for digestion, anxiety, thyroid support, and more by visiting www.organicolivia.com.    Connect with Sah: Website  Instagram Youtube Connect with Olivia: Follow Organic Olivia  Olivia’s personal IG Organic Olivia on TikTok Read Olivia’s blog posts
What does “good nutrition” actually mean – and why have we built a BILLION dollar industry that only makes us more confused about how to feed ourselves? Why is it that one day the internet is telling you to be a raw vegan, and 5 years later carnivore is suddenly a panacea? Shyla Cadogan is a registered dietitian focused on making nutrition simple again. Shyla explores the extensive impact that processed foods have on our bodies, while at the same time not putting perfection, whole foods or ‘superfoods’ on a pedestal. She brings some much needed nuance (and humor) to the question: what the heck should I eat and who should I listen to?   HERE’S THE JUICE: Shyla’s transition from intense vegan diets to an unattached, simple way of fueling The importance of finding the middle ground with nutrition rather than opting into extremes Why nutrition professionals have a duty to keep things professional rather than trying to be cutting edge or go viral How the concept of intuitive eating has gotten warped and why most of us are practicing it all wrong and feeling bad about it How you can be anti-diet-culture and still not eat a lot of processed foods Why Shyla says “a true relationship with food is having no relationship with it at all” The importance of not shaming people for being imperfect in their health decisions and educating in a considerate manner The history of “superfoods” and why the term is a bit of a scam The distrust that the public currently has in dietitians (ie. thinking they’re paid by big pharma!) How processed foods were originally created for war times and food corporations have used that opportunity to exploit us How cultural foods play a role in healthy eating   Watch the full episode on What’s The Juice YouTube Channel  To support our ad-free show, shop Olivia’s line of herbalist-formulated supplements for digestion, anxiety, thyroid support, and more by visiting www.organicolivia.com.   Connect with Shyla: Follow her on Instagram Sign up for her newsletter Connect with Olivia: Follow Organic Olivia  Olivia’s personal IG Organic Olivia on TikTok Read Olivia’s blog posts

Join the Highly Sensitive Body (HSB) Hub HERE’S THE JUICE: Michelle’s own story of being sick with a mysterious cluster of symptoms after COVID and mold exposure (and how she healed) What MCAS is, the symptoms caused by histamine intolerance and why it’s SO hard to get diagnosed The connection between long COVID and MCAS that’s not talked about Why MCAS is really a physical “allergy to stress” and nervous system disorder that pushes the immune system into overdrive How seemingly healthy treatment plans actually make things worse in people with histamine issues What it might mean if you get dizzy easily, have trouble concentrating or experience a racing heart Why hypermobility, POTS and MCAS often go together How histamine intolerance magnifies anxiety, depression, ADHD and PMDD in women Michelle’s loving approach to healing histamine issues and supporting your body gently The exact foods to avoid if you have histamine intolerance and how to reduce flares  Her favorite supplements and herbs that can lower histamine levels How to strength train in a way that doesn’t cause more harm  Why we can’t completely discount pharmaceutical tools like antihistamines when initially healing The next steps to take if you think you may have a highly sensitive body   Watch the full episode on What’s The Juice YouTube Channel  To support our ad-free show, shop Olivia’s line of herbalist-formulated supplements for digestion, anxiety, thyroid support, and more by visiting www.organicolivia.com.    Connect with Michelle: Join the Highly Sensitive Body (HSB) Hub Get 1:1 support from Michelle and her team Follow her on Instagram Listen to the Quiet the Diet podcast Connect with Olivia: Follow Organic Olivia  Olivia’s personal IG Organic Olivia on TikTok Read Olivia’s blog posts
