Informed Consent

I am so beyond excited to be joined by the founders of WeNatal prenatal this week to chat all about their prenatal, why they are different, the importance of pre-conception care and SO much more. This episode is filled with so much information for anyone who is TTC or getting close to trying. Be sure to tune in to hear all they have to share! About  WeNatal Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim are the...

There is a lot of people I look up to in the health and wellness space, and if you were to ask me who I would say is in my top three, I would tell you Doctor Patrick Flynn.  Doc is not only a brilliant doctor and has an incredible way of approaching health, but he isn't afraid to use his voice, tell you the hard things, or even piss you off a little but.  That is what I love about him and wha...

Well 2024 is here, and I am welcoming it with open arms.  What a year 2023 was, but I am ready to close that door and look forward. In this weeks episode, I chat about the upcoming NEW season of this show, what is to come this year and also shared some New Year goal tips of my own. I am so excited for what is to come in 2024, in my life, and even on this show, and I hope you are too. xoxo Brooke S...

It is my honor to be joined on this episode by Olympia at Fertilysis to discuss all things unexplained infertility, reproductive immunology, microbiome and more. If you or someone you know is experiencing unexplained infertility or recurring loss, this episode is for you. A little bit about Fertilysis: FERTILYSIS - rooted at the words “FERTILE” and the Greek word “LYSIS”, which translates into “so...

Part two of our fertility episodes I want to do a deep dive into Ureaplasma, which is an infection no one seems to talk about that is VERY linked with infertility. I want to chat about what it is, how you know you have it, how to treat it and how its connected to fertility.

This podcast is not meant to be a podcast about me and my personal life. But with that being said, my husband and I are currently going through a season of infertility, and that season has taught me so much. 1 in 8 couples struggle with infertility and I truly believe there is root causes for that infertility. I want to use this episode, and a couple after to not only share our story, but share wh...

It is my honor to have back on the show, my pastor, Tyler Whitcomb, to talk about his upcoming book release, 26 Letters But Stuck On Y. On November 4th, his very first book (of many I am sure) is getting released to the public and I wanted to have Tyler on to share a little bit more about this book and why it can provide such value to anyone. If you are struggling in anything in life, this book ca...

I cannot believe we are here, where 3 years after the initial "freak out" of Covid19, there are rumors of the re-introduction of protection measures including masks, vaccine(s)/boosters, social distancing and more. While I of course have my opinions, this show is about informed consent, so I think its time we break down the informed consent of some of these "protection" measure...

All too often, I see and hear so many people actually do MORE damage to themselves by stressing out over every little "healthy" choice that could be made in life. While yes, our world is surrounded by toxins, we aren't fully informed on many things and our foods aren't even close to what they were back then. But, by trying to be too perfect you could be making yourself sicker....

For centuries, at the first sign of illness, many parents would immediately turn to castor oil, to naturally boost immune function and speed up healing. Today, castor oil is seen as a "holistic" / "natural-pathic" form of medicine.  In this weeks episode, I discuss all things castor oil and how adding something as simple as an oil like this to your daily routine can make huge i...

Just like the sun, as we discussed last week, salt is something that we are "told" is bad and that we should avoid, when in reality, it can be SO beneficial for our health. This week, I dive into the subject of Salt, and how the right salt can actually be extremely beneficial for you. Just like everything, quality is important.  Sources: https://www.survivopedia.com/why-you-should-consum...

So many people today are told to fear the sun, for the sun is causing skin cancer and other health related problems. I just have one question for that. How did our ancestors survive without skin cancer rates like we have today, when they were always outside.  As a generation, we are inside the most of anyone, yet we have more skin cancer rates then ever before. When you look at those numbers and c...

It is been a while since I continued through my "Vaccine Conversation Series," and I wanted to jump back in a share about a vaccine that I have not yet covered, and that is the Rhogam Vaccine. This is a immunoglobulin vaccine given to pregnant mothers who have RH- blood types with the risk of what a growing babies possible RH+ blood could do to the mother's future children. As I do...

With the recent release of the movie Sound of Freedom, there is a LOT of conversations being had about the realities of modern day slavery, also known as human trafficking.  Sadly - there are major media outlets bashing this movie claiming its a "Qanon" conspiracy theory, and that couldn't be further from the truth. This week, I want to do what I feel I can do to continue this conve...

This week, our "informed consent" is moving away from our recent medical topics and turning them towards being informed about yourself. I believe it is important to be informed about yourself, your life, even back into your childhood all the way though understanding why you self-sabatoge.  I am honored to be joined by upcoming author and just overall super inspiring individual, Hunter Ch...

In honor of 4th of July, the celebration of the United States of America, I wanted to use this episode to remind us all the freedoms that we have, including the freedom to be informed. We have the freedoms to make decisions, educated decisions at that, on our lives.  Sadly, so many Americans take this for granted. While you still can, embrace those freedoms, cherish them and be proud of them. Be P...

I talk about this ALL the time on this show, the importance of gut health and supporting the gut microbiome. Many people who have gut issues could very possibly have a Candida overgrowth.  While Candida is not always a bad thing to have, in fact a study done in 2004 shows over 70% of people have Candida present in their body, it can cause major issues if has overgrowth.  Candida overgrowth has bee...

I have been a bit quiet lately, not only on social media but even on my podcast.  I will admit, I have not been on my A game and have truly been struggling with content because of what my husband and I are going through. I figured it was time to use my platforms for what I started them to do, share and connect.  So on this weeks episode, I have a very personal conversation vs a conversation about...

Everywhere you turn, whether it be a famous celebrity, a social media influencer or a random individual trying to loose weight, it seems as if Ozempic is the new "weight loss drug" that everyone is seeming to do. While so many are taking this drug for a quick weight loss, that is not what it is actually FDA approved for. In this weeks episode, I am going to break down the popular diabeti...

Thinking about what I wanted to chat with you all this week, my heart was heavy on the fact that our fallen soldiers, that fought for OUR freedoms, only get "one" day of honor.  One day, that so many see as a day off off work, as a long weekend or as an excuse to BBQ and vacation. In the meantime, we are nearing a month long celebration of "pride."  An entire month is dedicated...

I am so excited and honored to be joined again by J Gulinello with Perpetual Health Co.  to dive deeper into the history of foods and break down the push behind "plant based meats." J truly is incredible at dissecting data and research and uncovering the "why" behind things.  In todays episode, we chat about the "war on foods," specifically whats actually happening in...

80% of processed foods sold in the United States are banned in other countries. Take a minute and think about that! America uses over 30 food ingredients which have now been banned in other countries.  Why is that? Why are so many ingredients allowed in our country that aren't allowed in others. In this weeks episode, we are going to break down some very common foods American's consume,...
