This is for the days, or times in our lives where we just feel like something's off. Where maybe things are fine, but you just don't feel "like you" and you're not sure why.

There can be a lot of reasons - and in today's episode, we're taking stock of one of them. And we're narrowing in on a visual that might help us become aware of how valuable our energy actually is . . . and who we spend that energy on.

Another word for energy . . is magic (which, let's be honest, is just more fun to think about). If magic is too corny a thought, you can use light, or that spark - whatever fuels the best version of yourself.

Today - we're getting honest, and delving into what might be taking your magic away.

We're covering:

• breaking down the concept
• 3 examples of magic-drainers
• next steps
• today's feelgood thing

Who would have thought that Bone Broth Hot Chocolate could be a thing.

Well, apparently, it can be - and Beck’s Broth is leading the game with MASSIVE growth in under a year of business.

Here's the thing - I’ve worked in the CPG space before (consumer packaged goods) - and let me tell you, it’s a tough TOUGH grind. So after seeing this company blow up this past year, I wanted to have a chat . . .

We’re talking with Beckie Prime, founder of Beck’s Broth, and Dom Mastronardi, the COO, about what they’ve learned so far, and how we can take a couple lessons from their books.

• a hot toddy email
• benefits of bone broth
• how the idea of bone broth hot chocolate came to be
• struggles of a start up, and what people may not know
• how fate helped them get a distributor
• tips if you’re thinking about starting a business
• Beck and Dom’s feelgood things
• what’s next for Beck’s Broth

Beckie is now leading the bone-broth movement! Over the past few years, Beck’s Broth has grown significantly, and Beckie has built a loyal following while gaining traction across the country. The products are now carried in almost 100 stores with partners and online retailers across Canada including Well.ca, Natura Market and Healthy Planet. Beckie was recently awarded ‘One to Watch’ by CHFA (Canadian Health Food Association) at their West Expo and will be appearing in the next season of Dragon’s Den.

Whether you’re on Tik Tok or not, sometimes Tik Tok trends become mainstream - and everyone begins talking about it.

That was definitely the case with Oatzempic, the oatmeal-based Tik Tok drink reportedly helping dozens if not hundreds of people ‘drop weight fast.’.

But can it actually work? Is it bad for you? Is there a catch?

In today’s episode, I’m breaking it all down and giving my thoughts on this viral beverage.

We’re covering:

• What the Oatzempic drink is
• How it helps you lose weight (in theory)
• the Pros for it
• the major drawbacks of it, including potential gastric issues
• how to improve upon the recipe
• my thoughts and preferred alternate

THANKYOU!

If this headline made you do a double take, you're not alone.

We know that the nutrition world can be incredibly confusing, and frankly, incredibly annoying.

Part of the reason I do this podcast is to vent about my frustrations about the industry, because sometimes it really is exhausting to see all of the contradictory information out there. And it can leave us feeling like there’s not even a point in trying, which doesn’t serve us.

Recently, a headline came out stating that intermittent fasting might be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular death . . . which is a very dramatic statement. So in today’s episode, I want us to eat a major grain of salt and really break this all down, so you feel equipped to come to your own conclusions.

We're covering:

• what I did immediately when this article was sent to me
• what was the study that made this claim? was it a published study?
• why are observational studies tricky?
• let's play devil's advocate . . . what could be a reason for this finding? why could intermittent fasting increase the risk of cardiovascular death?
• why it could be more important that ever to focus on this one macronutrient
• the takeaway
• today's feelgood thing

We’ve covered a lot in a year - we’ve talked better ways to poop, natural ways to reduce anxiety, how to reduce seasonal allergies naturally, how to sleep better - and we've spoken with wonderful wonderful guest who’ve offered fantastic insights about worry, caffeine, homeopathy and more. It's been a great ride so far, and we're just getting started.

In today’s episode though, it’s just you and me. And in honour of our one year, I’m breaking down my feelgood blueprint and the philosophy for how I work.


And then, I want to ask you 3 very specific questions.

We’re covering:

• Why I put l-theanine in my coffee
• 3 Pillars or Roots I use in Practice
