Dotsie and Alexandra, who both fought back from severe food addictions in their twenties, interview expert nutritionists, pro athletes, innovative thought leaders, physicians and plant-based celebrities.

  • 324 - Menopause & Erectile Dysfunction: Hormones, Muscle Loss & Plant-Based Solutions | Dr. Brooke Bussard
    Apr 23 2025
    "Hot flashes are a canary in the coal mine for women. So, women who have more hot flashes, who have more frequent hot flashes, and more intense hot flashes, have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. People who are on a whole food, plant-based diet usually have fewer hot flashes, and the men have less erectile dysfunction. We lose between 3 and 8% of our muscle mass per decade after the age of 30. And then, for women, it speeds up after menopause, because we sort of are here, and we go off a cliff. Women should not be thought of as this delicate person that can’t lift heavy, that can’t partake in exercise that’s vigorous—like, we need to make sure that we keep our bodies as strong and functional as possible. If it takes you a year to learn how to squat, to learn how to lift some weights—like, there’s no rush—but it’s good to be on a path to getting stronger." -Dr. Brooke Bussard What if menopause isn’t the end of something, but a powerful new beginning? In this energizing and empowering conversation, Dr. Brooke Bussard joins us to challenge everything you think you know about aging, hormones, and what’s really possible in midlife and beyond. A physician turned plant-powered health coach, Dr. Bussard shares groundbreaking insights from her new book, Outsmarting Menopause, and reveals how food, movement, and mindset can radically reshape our experience of this hormonal transition. We dig into the real root causes of hot flashes, the surprising link between menopause and cardiovascular disease, how to build muscle and maintain bone mass without fear or frustration, and what men should know about their own aging journey too. Whether you're navigating menopause, supporting someone who is, this episode will leave you inspired, informed, and ready to take your health into your own hands! What we discuss in this episode: The root cause of hot flashes—and what they’re trying to tell us. Why maintaining muscle mass matters—especially during hormonal shifts. High reps vs. low reps: What’s best for building strength and protecting hormones. The surprising connection between hot flashes, erectile dysfunction, and cardiovascular disease. How menopause impacts the microbiome—and what you can do about it. The power of nuts and seeds in your diet, plus Dr. Bussard’s favorite ways to include them. The most harmful myths women are taught about aging and strength. How visceral fat affects your organs Dr. Bussard’s top tips for making meaningful, immediate health changes.

  • 323 - What Are the Signs of Burnout? How Chronic Stress Hijacks Your Hormones, Energy & Career
    Apr 9 2025

    "Burnout is why I left. I just started talking myself out of it, that we shouldn’t do it anymore. I just kind of ignored those feelings. It’s strange to fall out of love with something that you’ve done every single moment of every single day for a very long time. Maybe it’ll be too sooner than later, right? But right now, that is going to keep it fresh. I want to keep this feeling." -Dotsie Bausch

    “I’m talking about how important B complex vitamins are for stress, and yet I’m at home, in my hotel room, on the road, grinding so hard that I’m not taking my own advice. I just kind of ignored those feelings. I feel like I am the piece of toast that fell to the back of the toaster oven that we forgot about.” -Jason Wrobel

    Burnout shows up in many forms—it can build slowly and quietly over time, or seemingly strike all at once after a long period of strain. In this episode, Dotsie and Jason open up about their own experiences, from losing passion for what they once loved to finding the courage to step back and reevaluate everything. They share the first crucial steps toward recovery, the importance of protecting your health, and how to know when it’s time to make a change. Whether you're in the thick of burnout or just starting to feel the signs, this conversation offers real talk, practical guidance, and a spark of hope.

    What we discuss in this episode:

    • Dotsie’s go-to strategies for coping with burnout.

    • Understanding the connection between burnout and adrenal fatigue—and how to test for it.

    • The role of nutrition in healing from burnout.

    • Supplements that may help support and protect your adrenal glands.

  • 322 - Surprising Fiber Benefits, Heavy Metal Detox and Avoiding Gray Hair with Alexandra and Jason
    Mar 26 2025
    "A study that was done in 2022, it looked at over 4,000 adults over a 26-year span, and it found that just a 5-gram increase in fiber led to a lot less inflammation in the body. And they measured inflammation by C-reactive protein, which you can ask your doctor about when you get your next blood test to measure your CRP, or C-reactive protein, to see how inflamed you are. And when you have lower inflammation, this also lowers your heart attack risk. So, higher fiber in your diet can lower your heart attack risk by as much as 30%. Who knew, right?" -Alexandra Paul Today, we’re diving into the power of fiber—how it fuels gut health, reduces inflammation, and why most people aren’t getting enough. Alexandra breaks down the different types of fiber, why variety matters, and easy ways to boost your intake. Then, Jason shares his experience with heavy metal detox, revealing how hidden toxins affect your health, where they come from, and the best foods for natural chelation. Plus, we explore the surprising link between nutrition and gray hair. So, whether you want better digestion, detox support, or vibrant hair, this episode is a must-listen! Podcast sponsor: Vedge Vegan Collagen: vedgenutrition.com – use code S4G for 30% off your order. - https://www.vedgenutrition.com/ What we discuss in this episode: Why fiber is essential for overall health and how it supports the body.

The polyphenol with anti-aging effects and where to find it. How chelation works to remove heavy metals and the best foods to support this process. Common sources of heavy metal exposure and how they accumulate in the body. Symptoms of heavy metal toxicity and how to identify potential risks.
