  • Inflammation Reset: Ditch Quick Fixes—Build Habits That Actually Stick
    Oct 12 2025

    “When you stop ‘managing’ symptoms and start reversing inflammation, your body finally exhales—and your energy, sleep, and labs follow.”- Kylie Buckner, RN

    Episode Summary

    We kick off with spooky-season shenanigans (Ellie the Skelly is back!) and then slide into the good stuff: how to stop white-knuckling your symptoms and start reversing the root cause—systemic inflammation. Kylie (RN, MSN) and Cyrus (PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry) share the surprisingly fun, science-backed tools that help you sleep better, think clearer, and watch your blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight trend the right way.

    You’ll get their playful rebrand of “AI” (Anti-Inflammation), why nitrate-rich veggies are basically capes for your mitochondria, and how mindset and unresolved emotional patterns quietly steer your habits. PLUS a peek inside their new 12-month group program, The Inflammation Reset—built around the 3 Cs: Coaching, Course, and Community—so you can collect quick wins now and build results that actually stick.

    If you’re over fad fixes and into real physiology, this episode is your permission slip to think big, act slow, and glow up.

  • “It’s The Food”: Dr. Niki Davis on Lifestyle Medicine, Deprescribing, and Heart-Healthy Habits
    Oct 5 2025
    “Not being afraid to stop medications day one—because you believe in your patient—is part of the work. When people change their lifestyle, blood pressure and blood sugar can improve fast. We get out ahead of it so they’re not overmedicated."- Dr. Niki Davis Episode description Dr. Niki Davis, a board-certified family and lifestyle medicine physician, joins Kylie to share her journey from space shuttle engineer to “food-as-medicine” clinician. She explains how lifestyle medicine differs from traditional primary care, why longer telehealth visits unlock real behavior change, and how patients can safely reduce medications as health improves. They dig into practical, evidence-based strategies for cardiovascular health, the power of fiber, mindset, and community support—plus Dr. Davis’s favorite quick meals and a gorgeous Utah hike. Key takeaways Lifestyle medicine vs. traditional care: Longer, focused visits center on prevention, behavior change, and root-cause reversal—while still using labs and medications when needed.Deprescribing done safely: As patients improve diet and habits, blood pressure and glucose can drop quickly. Skilled clinicians proactively adjust meds to avoid overmedication.Your “why” drives consistency: Clarify goals (labs, energy, weight, function) and personal reasons (family, longevity, adventures) to navigate social pressure and marketing.Big rocks for heart health: A whole-food, plant-based pattern, daily movement, restorative sleep, stress management, strong social connections, and no tobacco.Cholesterol basics: Reducing saturated fat and dietary cholesterol (primarily from animal foods) lowers LDL; fiber helps remove excess cholesterol.Fiber is foundational: Most Americans fall short. Emphasize legumes, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables to support cardiometabolic health and the microbiome.Telemedicine advantages: Convenient access anywhere, no waiting room, and the ability to personalize guidance (even a “show me your pantry” moment).Progress over perfection: It’s a lifelong skillset—plan ahead, learn from lapses, and build supportive community (yes to plant-based potlucks and walking buddies).

  • The Boomer Dilemma: Adaptability, Resilience & Modern Wellness
    Sep 28 2025

    "Adaptability is the muscle, resilience is the strength, and wellness is the gift we grow when we choose to embrace change." – Kylie Buckner, RN

    Show Description

    Change is hard — especially when it disrupts our “systems” we’ve relied on for years. From upgrading an iPhone to learning new health apps, many Baby Boomers (and others, too!) feel overwhelmed by today’s fast pace of technology and lifestyle shifts. But what if these challenges aren’t just frustrations? What if they’re actually opportunities to build adaptability and resilience that empower us in every part of life?

    In this episode of the Green Glow Podcast, Ember shares the concept of The Boomer Dilemma — how it shows up across generations — and offers compassionate, practical ways to navigate change. You’ll learn why adaptability is like a muscle, how resilience grows from life’s disruptions, and how to use these qualities to fuel your modern wellness journey.

    This isn’t about tech or trends. It’s about strengthening who you are, at any age, so you can live with confidence, vitality, and presence.

    After listening, you’ll come away with:

    • A clear understanding of what “The Boomer Dilemma” is and why it resonates across generations.
    • Compassionate insight into how Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z each approach change differently.
    • Practical tools for building adaptability in everyday life.
    • Why resilience matters — and how to strengthen it through “resilience reps.”
    • How all of this connects back to health, wellness, and holistic living.
    • An empowering reframe: change doesn’t have to break us, it can actually make us stronger.

  • From The Exam Room to The Green Room: Chuck Carroll on Nutrition, Community & Hope
    Sep 21 2025
    🌱 Episode Summary

    In this lively and heartfelt conversation, Kylie sits down with Chuck Carroll, host of the renowned Exam Room Podcast from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. Chuck opens up about his unique journey from radio producer to the "weight loss champion," his transition into a plant-based lifestyle, and his ongoing health challenges. With humor, vulnerability, and real talk, Chuck shares what he’s learned from interviewing leading doctors, researchers, and everyday heroes in the wellness space—and why community, compassion, and balance matter more than absolutes when it comes to health.

    From playful debates on olive oil to insights on navigating medical care with dignity and kindness, this conversation is equal parts hot goss and deep wisdom.

    🔑 Key Takeaways
    • No absolutes in nutrition: Context matters—foods like olive oil or nuts may be helpful for some but not others, depending on goals and conditions.
    • Plant-based lifestyle as empowerment: Both Chuck and Kylie emphasize the stability and consistency of plants as a foundation for health, resilience, and energy.
    • The importance of bedside manner: A doctor’s compassion and delivery can make all the difference in helping patients feel empowered instead of shamed.
    • Community as medicine: Podcasts and live events like Wellness Weekend highlight the value of support systems for health and healing.
    • Even “doing everything right” isn’t an insurance policy: A plant-based lifestyle can reduce risk, but genetics and environment still play a role. The focus is on risk reduction, not absolutes.
    • Laughter + authenticity heal: Conversations, vulnerability, and a touch of humor (yes, even onion aversions and banter about “ash” in nutrition labels) are powerful forms of connection.

  • Fall Reset: Detox Tips for Gut Health, Autoimmunity & Glowing Skin
    Sep 14 2025

    “We can’t control the world we live in, but we can control the products we use, the food we eat, and the choices we make for our health.” - Kylie Buckner, RN

    Are the everyday products in your home quietly fueling inflammation, hormone disruption, and chronic illness? In this episode, I dive deep into oxidative stress, toxins, and inflammation—and reveal how the chemicals in our food, household products, and skincare are impacting our health more than you think.

    • What oxidative stress and inflammation really are (and why they matter for chronic conditions)
    • How the U.S. vs European Union regulate chemicals differently—and why health outcomes are proof it matters
    • The rise in autoimmune and gut disorders (like celiac and endometriosis) and their links to pesticides & endocrine disruptors
    • My personal journey with stage 4 endometriosis and the role toxins played in my healing
    • Simple, practical steps you can take TODAY to reduce your toxic load—from your food to your skin to your household

    This isn’t about living in fear—it’s about empowering you with knowledge and giving your body the support it needs to thrive.
