Books by Dr. Raymond Francis:
Never Be Sick Again - http://amzn.to/2gH7zIM
Never Be Fat Again - http://amzn.to/2fJjVz5
Never Fear Cancer Again - http://amzn.to/2fJs7PM
Never Feel Old Again - http://amzn.to/2g3H54d
The Great American Health Hoax - http://amzn.to/2ghoi8E

I highly recommend buying his books for your friends and family this Christmas!  The best gift you will ever give them.

Raymond Francis has been cited as “one of the few scientists who has achieved a breakthrough understanding of health and disease.”

On the cutting-edge of health science, Raymond is an internationally recognized leader in the field of optimal-health maintenance. He is a chemist by training, a graduate of M.I.T., a bestselling author, a world-class speaker, a pioneer in health education, and an internationally recognized leader in the field of optimal health maintenance.

At the height of his career as president of a management consulting firm, Raymond’s health began declining. What began as chemical sensitivities and allergic reactions, ended up as several autoimmune syndromes, chronic fatigue, and acute liver failure. At age 48, his imminent death was considered a medical certainty. With days to live, he used his knowledge of biochemistry to save his life and restore his health. Decades later, Raymond enjoys an extraordinary level of health and vitality.

Since his recovery, he has devoted himself to helping others to get well and stay well. To teach others how to achieve the level of health he has achieved, Raymond devised a health model (the Beyond Health Model) that cuts through the confusion, takes the mystery out of disease and makes health simple, enabling the average person to take charge of their health. This model is so simple it can be taught to a child, yet so powerful that many have used it to cure themselves of terminal illnesses.
He has written five breakthrough books, the international bestseller Never Be Sick Again, Never Be Fat Again, Never Fear Cancer Again, Never Feel Old Again, and his newest The Great American Health Hoax.
Raymond has addressed health conferences all over the U.S. and in Germany, Switzerland, Greece, Egypt, Canada, Fiji, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, and Mexico.

Raymond is a former U.S. Army officer who served in a combat infantry division. He is a member of the American Chemical Society, the National Health Federation, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, the Orthomolecular Health Medicine Society and the Institute for Functional Medicine. He is listed in standard references including Who’s Who in the World, Who’s Who in America, Who’s Who in Medicine and Healthcare, Who’s Who in Science and Engineering and Who’s Who in Finance and Industry. Raymond was a syndicated radio talk-show host for 16 years. He has made over 2,000 television and radio appearances. He is Chairman of The Project to End Disease and president of Beyond Health International, a supplier of health-supporting products and advanced health education.

Nov 29, 2016

For some women, menopause sucks! You might be dealing with any combination of seemingly uncontrollable issues like weight gain, boiling hot flashes, soaking night sweats, or mood swings so severe they can take over your life.  Not to mention the mental fog, dry skin, and low energy.

Dana LaVoie, my guest today, is an expert in helping women gain health naturally so their hormones balance and their nasty menopausal symptoms diminish or even vanish completely!

Dana LaVoie is the founder and creator of Menopause Basics. Dana is a licensed acupuncturist and tonic herbalist.

Her passion is helping women find relief from the hormonal symptoms of menopause. Using her 13+ years of clinical experience, Dana will provide you with simple, smart, and natural techniques based on the best of Asian Medicine and modern science.

Through online courses and consultations, Dana will tailor her approach to your individual experience until she finds the perfect intervention for you. She works with clients both in-person in Eugene, OR or over the phone or Skype.

Dana has a BA from Wesleyan University in Middletown CT, and a Masters in Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine from The Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in Portland, OR, and have been a licensed Acupuncturist in the state of Oregon since 2004.

Dana's website is:

Free Download for Learn True Health listeners:
The 4 Steps To Hormonal Balance http://bit.ly/Hormone-Foundation

Dana's online course is called "Menopause Basics: What To Eat". It's an online mini-course on how to get all the right building blocks into your diet for hormonal balancing during menopause.

"I'm most passionate about discussing how setting the right foundation for diet & lifestyle paves the way for a woman's body to balance hormones naturally during menopause. It's then easy to add a few herbs on top of that for fantastic relief from Menopausal symptoms.

I have a 4-Step plan that sets the foundation for hormonal balance. For many women, these 4 steps are enough to relieve hormonal symptoms.

With this foundation in place, it becomes much easier to get relief by adding herbs, acupuncture, supplements, or any other method of hormonal balance.

I also love to discuss herbs in general and the difference between medicinal and Tonic Herbs, whether it's for hormonal balancing, the immune system, or one of my favorite topics - anti-aging and longevity."

Dana LaVoie's 4 steps to hormonal health:
1. Step 1 is that what you include in your diet is more important that what you leave out. (and I'll explain why and most important things to add in first)

2. Step 2 is lifestyle. By practicing stress management and eating protein and healthy fat often enough throughout the day, you can help balance cortisol and insulin levels, which helps your other hormones immensely.

3.Step 3 is avoiding the worst of the hormone disrupting chemicals. I would love to talk about where to find some of the really bad sneaky ones like the phthalates in artificial fragrance!

4. Step 4 is adding my favorite adaptogenic superfoods into the diet.

Nov 22, 2016

My guest today is Justin Ledford, an expert in visualization, he is on the show to teach us how to use visualization to live a more fulfilled and healthy life. Justin used these techniques of visualization and goal setting to overcome major obstacles and achieve great success, all before the age of 30.

After he realized the power of visualization he started to give back by teaching it to as many people as he could. Many also achieved their life's biggest dreams following his system. This motivated him to write his book so he could help as many people as possible.

In our interview, he gives us his simple step-by-step method to begin using visualization each day, and for those who have been using visualization for a while, he teaches his unique techniques for going deeper.

He speaks regularly at personal growth seminars in order to share his mastery of balancing goal achievement with living a healthy dream fulfilled life.

"When we tap into what our WHY is, the how becomes easy! I teach people to always live life as if they are in the "Front Row"
I love inspiring people to make their own "Dreams List" and most importantly infuse their dreams list in their daily calendar.
I am also very passionate about teaching people the DAILY V.I.S.I.O.N.S™ method to live their dream life and the "5 Phases of Visualization".

These topics are important because they help people to realize that they are ultimately responsible for everything in their life. I feel that we can all have an incredibly healthy life, fulfilling life, if we have a simple road map or blueprint."

In our interview Justin goes over:

1) The power of being intentional with your health. We will go over using a weekly calendar. Write down the exact time you will work out, what physical activity you will do that day, and how long your physical activity will be (to the exact minute).

2) 30-day visualization Challenge using the 5 Phase of Visualization. Every time you do your visualization we will incorporate how you wish to look and feel as if you knew for SURE they would get the results of your dreams. You can do mental rehearsal/visualization at any time in the day, I have found it work best in the morning. This practice can last from 5 minutes-30+ minutes.

3) The Power of a Vision Board. How using a vision board + persistent effort will ultimately give them exactly want you want in life.

Justin's favorite books on the subject of visualization are
"The Magic of Believing" by Claude Bristol http://amzn.to/2gHabLt
"Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" by T Harv Eker http://amzn.to/2fo3KdH
"Visions To The Top" by Justin Ledford http://amzn.to/2ghdllL

Nov 22, 2016

Retirement planning expert, Jan Elliott, works with women in close-knit workshop settings, to offer motivation and guidance in creating a vision and plan for retirement.

Jan is the author of the book Faith Full Retirement: The Woman's Guide to Finding Joy in Her Later Years.

"I like to think retirement planning (actually all areas of life) falls into four categories. They are:
1. Money Matters and Mindset
2. Passion, Purpose, and Prayer
3. Health and Wellness
4. Relationships."

In our interview, Jan teaches powerful keys to living an empowered life. A big lesson is forgiveness. When we hold onto anger, resentment or judgment we are poisoning our own life.

Jan also teaches the importance of letting things go so we are not "offended". Being offended can create a disconnect from joy and drain our energy, creativity, and passion in our life.

Jan gives 4 more keys to living a happy, healthy life:

"1. Eat clean. Which of course means organic fresh wholesome foods. Within 3-5 days you will have more energy and over-all just feel better. Start searching Pinterest and make boards with healthy 3-5 ingredients. Planning ahead is key
Then pull the recipes up on your phone, get the ingredients and get cookin'.

2. Smoothies for breakfast or an anytime snack. PLEASE, no more cereal, bagels, donuts or the wrong kind of smoothies as not all smoothies are the same. There are some great recipes in the book, The Omni Diet, by Tana Amen and also on Pinterest. I am currently working on a list of my favorites that will be posted on the website.

3. Last but NOT least. Essential oils. Frankincense is the most powerful of all the oils. But make sure all oils are therapeutic essential oils.

4. One more, if I could mention it. Little pricey, but so valuable. Have all of your metal fillings replaced and never allow another metal filling in your mouth or in the mouth of anyone you love. This mercury has been linked to many diseases including cancer and inflammatory aches and pains."

Andrew Warner is the founder of Mixergy, where proven entrepreneurs teach.

Because holistic health is about finding balance and achieving success in all areas of our life I knew interviewing Andrew would offer you value.

I have been listening and learning from Andrew for several years now. I consider him one of my mentors and one of my heroes.

Andrew has an incredible story.

He built a highly successful company that did $30 million in sales annually and after selling it began his journey as an interviewer.

Through his website Mixergy.com, he teaches how to be a successful business owner through interviewing highly successful entrepreneurs.

What I have always loved about his interviews is I end up learning the mindset of what it takes to become successful and, best of all, what NOT to do by learning from the mistakes of others.

Andrew isn't just a business guy. He is an inspiring mentor who teaches several courses on mindset and gaining tools for success. He is also a wicked long distance runner.

The main point we discuss in our interview is why empathy is so important to gaining results in our life and how we can learn to become more empathetic in our personal and professional relationships.

Andrew also shares how setting up a daily routine can take your results, in health and wealth, to a whole new level. He gives some great pointers for how to implement new daily habits for success.

What is the difference between seeing a doctor and a health coach?  Everyone knows the obvious differences like diagnostics and prescriptive rights. What about results?  What kind of long term health results can one achieve with a health coach that they couldn't with an average doctor?  Is there a time when seeing a health coach can lead to better results or is seeing a doctor your only best option?

The best person to answer this question would be a doctor who became a health coach!  Nicole Calloway Rankins, MD, MPH is a physician (OB/GYN), and integrative health coach.  

Dr. Nicole Rankins joins us today to discuss what an integrative health coach is, how to find the right one for you and when to see one.

She has a strong background in women's health. As an OB/GYN hospitalist, she is passionate about making sure mom feels heard, honored and respected while she goes through the most significate time in her life.

In our interview, Dr. Rankins also shares her unique perspective, as an MD with a scientific background in research and her passion for holistic health as an Integrative Health Coach.  Above all, when she works with her clients as an Integrative Health Coach she is looking to make sure they feel fully supported and empowered to achieve their health goals.

After several years of practicing medicine and engaging in clinical research, Nicole became frustrated that she could make recommendations to improve the health of her patients, but due to lack of time and training, was not actually helping women implement those recommendations into their busy lives.

She also came to appreciate that health is much more than what happens in the doctor’s office. She understands that to be truly healthy and well, an integrative approach is needed that considers how emotional, social, environmental, spiritual, and physical health interact.

In support of this whole-person approach to health, Nicole completed a science grounded and evidence-based training program in integrative health coaching at Duke Integrative Medicine.

She now helps women reach their best health and wellness through both her health coaching practice and her work as an OB/GYN hospitalist.

As an integrative health coach, she is an advocate, collaborator, accountability partner and trusted confidant in helping women reach their health goals like losing weight, eating better, exercising more or reducing stress.

As an OB/GYN hospitalist, she specializes in the care of hospitalized women, where most of her work is helping ensure women have a safe, enjoyable, and fulfilling experience during labor and delivery.

"As an integrative health coach, I am most passionate about helping women understand what integrative health coaching is and how it can be a tremendous help in achieving and sustaining behavior change to improve health. The key is that it utilizes a whole person approach to health and it is individualized to fit each woman's unique life circumstances.

Regarding my practice as an OB/GYN hospitalist, I am most passionate about discussing tips for women to have a safe and fulfilling experience while giving birth."

In our interview Nicole teaches 3 keys to health:
1- Connect your health goals to what you truly value. When you do that it is easier to accomplish the goal.
2- Understand that you will probably have setbacks. Be prepared that it will happen, forgive yourself and get back in the game.
3- Meditate. This simple activity has so many benefits - reducing stress, anxiety, pain, and depression; and increases your compassion, self-control, focus, and memory.

Five Books That Dr. Nicole Rankins Recommends:
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho http://amzn.to/2g3rLrO
Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert http://amzn.to/2eQ87Oa
The Seeker's Guide: Making Your Life a Spiritual Adventure by Elizabeth Lesser http://amzn.to/2eQ0Ii6
The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself by Michael A. Singer http://amzn.to/2fJ74xh
The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle  http://amzn.to/2g3jX9w

My guest today is passionate about helping you remove the barriers to your true health.

Kristi Acuña was born with a severe case of psoriasis, a skin condition that causes red, patchy skin from head to toe.

Her childhood was filled with frequent visits to pediatricians, dermatologists, and alternative health care practitioners to help cure – or at least control – her psoriasis. She was given many drugs and prescription creams but nothing the doctors had would heal her body.

Sound familiar?

Each doctor visit became one disappointment after another. All the medical professionals focused on treating her symptoms instead of getting to the root cause of the problem, which as you might guess, is what she was putting into her body!

When Kristi was 19 years old, her mother, a Registered Nurse for 27 years, studied to become a Traditional Naturopath. She was able to uncover the root cause of Kristi’s psoriasis (her diet) and introduced her to high-quality supplements. This holistic approach caused her psoriasis to go away.

Holistic Nutrition gave Kristi back her LIFE!

Fueled by her gratitude for holistic medicine and desire to help people Kristi earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Holistic Nutrition from Clayton College of Natural Health in Birmingham, Alabama.

Kristi has practiced Holistic Nutrition for over 11 years in Newport Beach, CA.

Kristi’s main objective is to find the root cause of her clients’ ailments and address them through nutrition and supplements. She uses these techniques to help guide her treatments:

Nutrition Response Testing - A non-invasive system for analyzing the body in order to determine the underlying causes of ill health. When these are corrected through safe, natural, nutritional means, the body can repair itself in order to attain and maintain more optimum health.

Applied Kinesiology – A system that evaluates the structural, chemical, and mental aspects of health using manual muscle testing.

Foundational Evaluating – A physical examination by which a practitioner feels for inflammation and pressure in the body through palpation.

"I love talking about digestion and understanding that "doing it all" must mean that you have to fuel your body and adrenals with stress coping nutrients."

Nov 4, 2016

It makes sense that because you are unique your diet should be customized to best fit your body. Often we think that we should change our ways to fit into a diet but really it's the other way around. The latest in nutrition science shows foods that are healing to you may be toxic to someone else. And my guest today is here to share what you can do to customize the best healing diet plan for you!

Annette Hottenstein is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and a professional taste tester (aka Sensory Scientist) from Baltimore, MD. Her podcast is called The Food Sommelier where she teaches listeners about the hidden flavors of healthier foods.

She has worked for 15 years as a scientist specializing in the sensory properties of foods and beverages. A sought-after speaker, Annette has presented at the Society of Sensory Professionals, various Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics affiliate organizations, and for corporations such as McCormick & Company, McDonald’s and General Mills.

Annette leverages her background in nutrition and food science to help her clients "discover the taste of good health".  She completed her B.S. in Nutrition from The Pennsylvania State University and completed her dietetic internship at Texas A&M University with clinical rotations completed at Scott and White Memorial Hospital and the Olin E. Teague Veterans Medical Center.  She also holds a Master's in Food Science and Technology from Texas A&M University.

In the last few years, Annette has become passionate about utilizing blood work to help her clients create a  unique diet plan that is healing to their body.

In our interview, she shares her system for helping people craft their diet that eliminates foods their immune system is reacting to and helps them to heal their gut and immune system so they can live healthier, more vibrant, lives!

By going through her program her clients shed unwanted pounds, heal their gut and find they have more energy!

On today's show Annette teaches:
1) The 6 most common types of foods that can cause food intolerance.
2) How to leverage sensory specific satiety for weight management
3) How to appreciate kale like a glass of fine wine

The 6 common foods to avoid are:
1) All cow dairy
2) Gluten (Barley, wheat, rye, and oats)
3) Nightshade vegetables (white potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, goji berries, tobacco)
4) Tyramine foods (chocolate; alcoholic beverages; and fermented foods, shrimp, soy sauce, sauerkraut, etc.)
5) Soy
6) Foods with sulfites (baked goods, soup mixes, jams, pickled and canned foods, dried fruit, potato chips, wine, etc.)
