Finding Health

Lindsay is joined by Salveo's Director of Clinical Education, Dr. Anastasia Katany for a conversation about food sensitivity testing that connects the dots between food sensitivities, inflammation, and your overall gut health. It could shed light on many of the most common symptoms people experience, from migraines and eczema, to brain fog, constipation and more.(00:54) Dr. Katany's professional career path, and why she is passionate about Functional Medicine. (2:39) What is functional medicine? (5:30) Let’s talk about inflammation: What is it? What's the difference between acute and chronic inflammation? How does it show up in patients you see? What are the major causes? (11:09) Cooking as a chore, and the importance of food prep. (14:18) Asking, “how does exercise make you feel?” as a way to check if something mitochondrial might be going on. (15:00) “Test don’t guess” when it comes to your own food sensitivities. (18:20) Differences between food sensitivity and gut health tests. What is ELISA?

(25:46) 35 year old woman with 10 year history of migraines and tired of symptom guessing. “She now has the freedom to participate in life without worrying about getting sidelined from a migraine.” (30:53) How you can learn more about food sensitivity testing and turning this knowledge into action.

The goal of this inaugural episode of the Finding Health Podcast is two-fold... (1) to let you know what to expect from us going forward, and (2) to help you get to know our host, the lovely Lindsay Tobias. Phil Beene, co-founder of Nudge and Salveo's Chief Marketing Officer, joins this week to help us get inside Lindsay's head and learn what this show is going to be all about, straight from the source.(1:41) Why she is here, and the "why" behind launching this new podcast. (2:39) Who she is hoping to reach and connect with through these episodes, what she hopes listeners will do with the information from these conversations, and how she plans to translate insights from leading experts so they are relatable and actionable for more of us who have interest in gaining knowledge and improving our health.(8:04) Lessons and insights Lindsay has already gained from speaking to some of the experts that she will be interviewing for upcoming episodes of Finding Health. (11:10) Getting to know Lindsay on a more personal level, including what sparked her fascination with personal health, and her subsequent career path. (15:15) And we couldn't let her go without sharing a few fun (and some embarrassing) facts about herself... including her strange version of "minimalism" (shout-out to The Minimalist podcast guys), and her trip down the Cardi B instagram wormhole right before we started recording.
