You probably recognize that name right? If you’re new to the show we had a very special guest today! Sports chiropractor, co-owner of JS Strength & Conditioning, expert in training athletes and every day women like you all AND Sarah’s husband, Dr John Fragoso was in the house. We talked about his perspectives on women and lifting, where to look for root causes with common injuries from neck to knees and how to find the right practitioner if you need one on one help. Oh and you know we talked about what it’s like to be Mr. Sarah Fragoso. John was a great sport and shared some amazing insights we think all women need to hear.

This week we’re bringing you once again our second ever episode and our most downloaded episode: Paleo – Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down? We’re revisiting this episode to commemorate that release of the cover of our upcoming book HANGRY! You can actually pre-order copies right here (crazy right?).

We’re over the moon with how this book turned out and in this show you’ll see our rationale for what we deemed a Paleo-Mediterranean nutrition plan that we developed for HANGRY. We discuss the pros and cons of Paleo, who it works for and who may need something more, Paleo and women’s hormones and how we’ve both evolved our position and utilization of this nutrition philosophy.

AND this week we’re celebrating nearly 500,000 downloads on our podcast! Thank you all so much for being here, there’s no show without you! SO keep those questions coming to bettereverydaypodcast@gmail.com.

Thank you, thank you!

So often both of us see the same questions and challenges come up in both our private clients and our online coaching group. Recently the theme has been how to deal with overwhelm and what to do when the same habits stay challenging. Often in the group we coach women to figure out the one thing that if they could do that, would make the rest of the habits easier. Hear what all we have to say about that in this episode! As well we talk about how to migrate back to your everyday life aft you’ve done any 30 day plan. We also share our thoughts, fears and musings on the emotional events of the past week.

On a much lighter note, is our retreat October 4-8, 2018 in Chico! We’re hosting a workshop style retreat with a ton of hands on time with both of us, plenty of working out and exercise coaching with Sarah as well as digging in to your health and even lab work with Dr Brooke.

We’re back in this episode answering your questions! We kick off the show with a question about parasites and “cleanses” and cover how you can expect to feel, testing and how to know if you should work with someone vs. treating on your own. Next, we took a pretty deep dive into various causes of histamine intolerance, what symptoms can be related to high histamines (some will surprise you such as acne and menstrual cramps!) and what supplements can help. Most importantly, we talk about how long do you have to do that crazy restrictive low histamine diet before you feel better??

Perhaps most exciting in this episode those is the announcement of our next retreat! October 4-8, 2018 in Chico! We’re hosting a workshop style retreat with a ton of hands on time with both of us, plenty of working out and exercise coaching with Sarah as well as digging in to your health and even lab work with Dr Brooke.

On a request from our Better Everyday Inner Circle group we didn’t do Q&A today, no health expert guest and no talk of the gym or hormones. Instead we are pulling back the curtain – by about twenty years! We both share very personal stories about lessons we learned in our early twenties thanks to two really bad marriages. You will want to pour a glass of wine or make a cup of tea and be sure you have almost two hours to listen cuz we spill it all! Our mistakes, our rising from the ashes and how it all impacts who we are and what we do today.

It’s juicy, it’s fun and we feel so grateful that we’re able to share this type of story with you all – our tribe is simply the best. We hope you laugh, cry and stay tuned till the end when we talk about the very different marriages we’re in now and how lucky we both feel to be there! So tune in and buckle up because there’s sex, drugs, not much rock and roll but there is a bank robbery…

Answering some great hormone questions today!

Holy guacamole do we get into it in this meaty episode! (Sorry, couldn’t resist.) In this episode we are joined by co-founded of Butcher Box, Mike Salguero who gave us the inside scoop on the meat we eat. Not only did we cover up confusion around what grassfed even means for beef these days but also got clarification on other common marketing descriptors like free range, pasture raised and heritage breed. We hear Mike’s story on why he started Butcher Box, a company we love that makes healthier proteins accessible to all by delivering these quality products right to your door. Tune in and learn what labels to look for when buying chicken (it’s more than free range!), how pastured raised animals are helping the planet and why pork got deemed “the other white meat” in the first place.

We’re back with Q&A today and our first one was a doozy! We discussed what a saliva cortisol panel can and can’t tell you, when you should be digging into the deeper causes or stress vs. when it’s more related to lifestyle and how to know if your stress management tools like exercise may be causing MORE stress. We recapped what our ACES (appetite, cravings, energy and sleep) acronym is all about and how it’s the language of your hormones so we need to tune in and heed that message! In the case of this question her hormones were saying peanut butter and chocolate chips,  other days they say wine, but either way they are signals we can use to do better and stop fighting our hormones. We also tackled a great question on PCOS and intermittent fasting.

Warning: this episode does deal with the subject of sexual, physical and emotional abuse.  In this episode we are joined by the lovely Dr Meg Haworth who has personally and professionally dealt with all of the various forms of abuse.  Having been abused as a child, nearly downed, struck by lightning it’s no wonder her professional path led to a PhD in Interpersonal Psychology so she can help other women that have survived abuse as well.  We touched on which type of chronic health issues in adulthood are correlated with which specific types of abuse from childhood as well as how we can best support abuse survivors whether that be ourselves or other women we care about. And of course we talked a ton about self-care for all of us, abused or not.

In this episode we were lucky enough to have wine enthusiast and entrepreneur, Todd White of Dry Farm Wines, the only health quantified wine club in the world. What this means is that their wines have no sugar, are low alcoholer, are keto-diet and Paleo friendly and boast no headache and no hangover. We know women are especially sensitive to sleep disruptions, headaches, sniffles and generally feeling like garbage when they drink wine – especially over the age of 40. In this show we not only talk about the biogenic amines in most wines that give women so much grief but how wine is made with a staggering amount of additives that can add to the negative impact of wine for women. And Todd shares his approach to drinking wines with food, small pours, good conversation and the notion that wine can help us be more present instead of the common notion that wine is a distraction or a way to escape stress and overwhelm. Super interesting episode, we hope you love it! As if chatting about wine with us wasn’t enough, check out Dry Farms Wines using this link and learn about their wines, how to get healthier wine delivered right to your door as well as how to snag a bottle of wine for just a penny! Check it out here.
