Food Heals

Cancer. It's the kind of diagnosis that no one wants to hear. And yet, cancer doesn't have to be a death sentence. For our guests, cancer was an opportunity to build up their health from the inside, and be a force for positive change. Evita Ramparte - Healing ovarian cancer - Episode 57 When she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, Evita made the brave decision not to have surgery, radiation or chem...

Dr. Roy specializes in cancer prevention and reversal. But he doesn't do it in the traditional way. He combines his background as a Buddhist, western medical training, in depth research into alternative healing, mental health therapies, and meditation, into the House of Health, a scientifically backed up system you can use to heal yourself. In today's episode, Dr. Roy answers Food Heals Nation que...

Very few guests get us as excited as Dr. Roy Vongtama. He's doing the kind of work Alli wishes she'd known about when her parents were diagnosed with cancer. But back then, she lived in a small town with no access to green juices, no meditation studios, and no understanding of the emotional component in disease or the power of the body to heal itself. The connection between trauma and cancer is no...

Whether it's relationship anxiety, workplace anxiety, social media anxiety or general anxiety, it has the power to zap your quality of life. So, what can we do about it?

Millions of people across the country don't have access to proper healthcare. The results can be devastating. Given only a handful of expensive options, patients are faced with the possibility of bankruptcy, and don't even have the necessary information to make educated decisions about their treatment. Navigating the healthcare system can be a nightmare. But one person is changing all that. Meet M...

Like so many of us, Christina Roulund-Dennis was insecure about her body. Believing she would feel more confident, she saved up and got breast implants at 23. Back then, there was no real data about the surgery, it was supposed to be completely safe. And for five years, she was perfectly ok… even though the boost in confidence only lasted a few months. But then things started going wrong. Exhauste...

Sometimes it takes a traumatic experience to make us wake up to the power of food and take our health into our own hands. That's what happened to Adrienne. She was diagnosed with Lyme disease at just 11 years old. Back then, doctors didn't know much about it, or even how to recognize it. Antibiotics weren't working. But they rarely do, because Lyme disease is a spiral-shaped bacterium that acts li...

Most of us fail at dieting. Maybe we're doing it wrong. We're so busy following the latest fitness and diet trends that we completely forget to consider the most important factor in successful weight loss: who we are. It's time to forget what you think you know about dieting. Almost every diet and fitness trend can be a path to weight loss…. But is it YOUR path? If you're struggling to lose weight...

We all love a good outfit. But fashion is cruel to animals, cruel to people and cruel to the planet. Especially luxury fashion, which is synonymous with fur, cashmere, leather, angora and silk. Can fashion ever be compassionate? It can now. Meg and Komie were raised vegetarian. From a very young age they understood that animals are not here for food. Also from a young age, they loved nothing more...

The 5 Languages of Love with Leanne Linksy What makes a relationship strong? It's the little things. Going to the grocery store, taking out the trash. And the most important thing is to learn your partner's love language. What's your love language? For some, it's physical affection. For others, love is shown through the little gestures. Getting to know how you and your partner communicate love wil...

Diets don't work. Neither do New Year's resolutions. Just 3% of people who go on a diet successfully lose weight. Why? They're based on the idea that if you lose weight, you'll transform your life. In fact, you need to transform your life first, then the weight loss will happen. Alli was a healthy plant-based holistic salad eater by day…. sugar junkie by night. Sugar addiction ruled her life. Noth...

You can save animals from factory farms. You can shift culture. You can stop rainforests from being chopped down. You can help communities. You can create the kind of world you want to live in. This is the power of your fork. The food revolution is a revolution you can fight peacefully, and everyone wins: the animals, the people, and our environment. Food really matters. It's the foundation of goo...

World renowned keynote speaker, best-selling author, world traveler… and she recently got engaged in Bali after one of the most epic proposal stories we've ever heard! But Sahara Rose wasn't always a glowing picture of health and success. In fact, she went through a really tough time - she didn't have periods, lost her hair, suffered from bloating and constipation. No one could find the cause or c...

You're only 10% human. Yes, really. Just over a decade ago, doctors believed there were around 200 species of bacteria living on and in the human body. We now know there are over 30,000 species. We have a community of 100 trillion microorganisms in our gut. That is 10 times the number of human cells in the body. This basically means we're 10% human, 90% bacteria! The microbiome was an unknown enti...

Could mold be affecting your health? Mold is a tricky thing. It's affected people since the dawn of time - but conventional medicine rarely addresses it. But it is a serious issue. Mold produces mycotoxins that can drive up estrogen levels, overburden the body with toxicity and elevate inflammation - so if you're sensitive to mold (25% of people have the gene that make them sensitive) other sympto...

New year, new you! We always feel like a makeover is needed in January. So what better way to begin 2019 than with style coach Kimberly Seltzer? You might not realize it, but your outfits are more than just clothes. They say a lot about you. They can keep you feeling down, block love, and give away your power. Yes, really. Wearing muted colors, going for the bigger size, wrapping up in layers all...

Imagine being just 26 years old and being told you have stage 3 colon cancer. Just before Christmas. That's what happened to Chris Wark. What began as intermittent abdominal pain was actually a tumor the size of a golf ball. He was rushed into surgery, but woke up to the news that the cancer had spread to his lymph nodes. His options? He only had one: chemotherapy for 9 to 12 months. But poisoning...

Adam Schaeuble is a PHD. Not the kind of PHD you're thinking. It stands for Previous Heavy Dude. At his rock bottom, Adam weighed 327 pounds, and was over $40,000 in debt. But he had good friends who kept giving him the DVD of The Secret to watch. When he eventually did, Adam realized he needed to take his future into his own hands. Five years on, he's achieved everything he set out to - lost 100...

Can you reverse diabetes? Conventional science says no. Our favorite plant-based doctor says YES. And this is backed up by science. Dr. Neal Barnard grew up on a ranch in North Dakota, cattle county. He wanted to be a psychiatrist. But while working as an autopsy assistant, he made the connection between meat and a dead animal. The seed was planted. As time went on, he began thinking about veganis...

When Allison hired weight-loss expert David Zappasodi, he told her to stop exercising and go buy a bunch of junk food. This is a weight-loss strategy like no other. But, it WORKS. Did you know that out of all the people who try losing weight every year, only 3% succeed? From the moment David stepped into the health and wellness industry, over 20 years ago, he knew he had to find a new method that...
