[90] Ditching Diet Labels, Owning Your Truth + Flowing Through Transitions with Lily Diamond from Kale & Caramel
January 30, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 99.6 MBSign-up for my FREE masterclass: http://bit.ly/masterclass-biz I love when I meet readers and people who follow The Healthy Maven and they're surprised that I'm pretty much the same human in person as I am online. I suck at lying so even if I wanted to live an alternate persona, there's no way anyone would buy it. Of course, I tend to have the same reaction when I meet people in real life. I'm not going to lie, I've been disappointed a few times, but most of the time it's pretty much as ex...

[88] Breast Health + Getting Diagnosed with Breast Cancer + Being Your Best Health Advocate with Paige More
January 16, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 67.2 MBThis is a topic that is near and dear to my heart and one that I think as women (and men!) we need to be talking about more. I could not have asked for a better or more knowledgable guest to come on the show and share her wisdom. Paige More (better known as Paige Previvor on the 'gram) never meant to become an advocate for breast health. It wasn't until she was diagnosed in her early 20s with the BRCA 1 gene mutation that she even considered the health of her breasts. From there her life fli...

[85] Things I'm Afraid to Tell You About 2018 + Intention Setting for 2019
December 19, 2018 10:00 - 48 minutes - 66.9 MBMentioned in this episode: Curt's Dad's article: http://bit.ly/2Lj7FH8 I'm having a hard time believing 2018 is coming to an end. At the same time I also feel a deep sense of relief that it is and am looking forward to welcoming in a new year and a clean slate. Though to be fair, I don't necessarily believe that come Jan 1 everything resets, but just by nature of having some time off around this time of year I have more time for reflection and brain space to consider what changes I migh...

[79] Removing Limiting Beliefs + Tackling Feelings of Lack + Self-Worth with Taylor Simpson
November 07, 2018 10:00 - 1 hour - 49.2 MBI've spent the last couple of years making a concerted effort to follow and be surrounded by people who promote positivity, or better yet, exude it. I've found that the more positivity I surround myself with, the better I feel. We weirdly all have this innate instinct to be attracted to things that we do not have and in the process follow and surround ourselves with those people who in the end we just don't feel all that great about. We focus on our lack, rather than our abundance. If you're...
[78] Voting for the Environment + Feeding the World, Organically with Gary Hirshberg

While I had a sense of the importance of organic food and the organic movemen...
[77] Traditional Chinese Medicine + The Benefits of Acupuncture, Cupping and Acupressure with Karinn Gallagher
October 24, 2018 09:00 - 58 minutes - 47.8 MBPerhaps one of the most requested episodes of the podcast has been one focused on Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture in particular. While I have wanted to jump into this topic for a while now, the timing just hasn't been right. I knew I wanted to speak to someone I really trusted and knew would be able to answer my questions in an easy to understand manner and until I got connected to Karinn Gallagher, that wasn't a possibility. Luckily, a few months ago the stars aligned I finally...
[76] Life After an Eating Disorder + How to Embrace Your New Body As It Changes with Rini Frey
October 17, 2018 09:00 - 55 minutes - 45.2 MBIf you aren't following Rini on Instagram, I urge you to do it RIGHT NOW. Her growth this year has been explosive, and for good reason. After battling an eating disorder for many years, she has single-handedly taken on the BS messaging we are fed by social media and digital marketing about what our bodies should look like. She is, quite simply, an inspiration. For anyone who has or continues to struggle with body image, this episode is for you. For anyone who has or continues to compare th...
[75] Reiki Healing + "Tapping" Into Our Own Emotional Energy with Kelsey Patel
October 10, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 60 MBI originally invited Kelsey J Patel onto the show to chat about reiki, EFT and energy healing. While we definitely jump into these topics, the episode kept coming back to me and some struggles that I've been having. Without me knowing, Kelsey was helping me tap into my energy and some things I need to work on. I'm forever grateful to her for tuning into this and most importantly, reminding me to tune into myself. Here are a few things we talked about in today's episode: Kelsey's upbringin...
[74] What Does "Mindfulness" Really Mean + When It's Time to Shift Careers with Nkechi Njaka
October 03, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 59.6 MBMindfulness - what do you know about it? I feel like these days there so much talk about living more mindfully and embracing mindfulness but what does that actually mean? Today I'm chatting with neuroscientist and mindfulness expert, Nkechi Njaka all about this. I met Nkechi after attending one of her classes and knew immediately that I wanted her on the show. Not only was it one of the most blissful 30 minutes of my week, but I just had this feeling that she was a wealth of knowledge. Gla...
[73] Thyroid Health, Living in a Blue Zone + How To Grow Your Yoga Business
September 26, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 60.7 MBTo be honest, I went into today's episode with Fern Olivia with somewhat of an expectation. I knew we'd talk about Thyroid Yoga and how to support our thyroid health, but what I got in return was so much more. As you guys know, I completed Yoga Teacher Training last spring and have begun my journey of teaching yoga. It has been a STEEP learning curve (if you think yoga teaching is easy - well I urge you to give it a try!) and one that left me with a lot of knowledge but an equal amount of qu...

September 12, 2018 09:00 - 59 minutes - 53.8 MBMentioned in this episode: Episode 27 with Bess Matassa from Mojave Rising Mission Loft in San Francisco Any great season requires a great kick-off episode and I could not be more excited to share today's LIVE podcast recording with dosist. A few weeks ago in SF, a group of 25 of us gathered in the most beautiful home (hi Mission Loft!) for an evening of community, conversation and cannabis. Yes, you read that correctly: cannabis.

[68] Period Health, Why Menstruation is Good for You + Should You Be on the Birth Control Pill? with Lara Briden
July 11, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 85.8 MBLadies! Buckle up because today we're chatting all about PERIODS. Yup, every woman's favorite monthly gift. But in all seriousness, menstruation is a huge indicator of a woman's overall health and when things are off, well the whole body is off. So I figured, let's not tip toe around the subject and get down and deep into women's menstrual health. Who better to bring on to talk about it than the author of Period Repair Manual and women's health naturopath Lara Briden. Over the course of th...
[67] Taking Risks, Starting a Business from Nothing + Living Beyond the Algorithm with Bettina Bogar
July 04, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 83.8 MBIt's been a long time coming getting this beautiful human on the show today.

Allow me to introduce you to Candice Kumai, the epitome of these traits. Candice is someone who I have admired from afar both for her compassion and willingness to grow but also because she doesn't glaze over the hard stuff. I'll be honest, I'm about to quote from a Queer Eye episode I watched this weekend but the sentiment resonates exactly with who Candice is: "Failure is not the opposite...

Dr. Will Cole made his first appearance on the show in episode #37 where we discussed a whole range of topics including what functional medicine is all about, adrenal fatigue and hormone health. We also discussed a little bit about inflammation, but since...

Speaking of which, this week's guest has spent the last year seeking out her own support system. Cassie Johnston, the blogger and entrepreneur behind Wholefully started developing some strange symptoms la...

[59] Letting Go of Perfectionism + Eating Disorder Recovery with Simi Botic
April 25, 2018 09:00 - 1 hour - 100 MBIt's been a while since an episode has made me emotional. Maybe it's the PMS but after listening back on the episode I found myself crying. It felt cathartic to let out some things I've been keeping in. I have today's guest, Simi Botic to thank for that. Simi is a health coach, author and speaker who helps women struggling with disordered eating, overexercise and other perfectionist tendencies learn to let go of control and accept and love yourself exactly as we are.

January 24, 2018 10:00 - 49 minutes - 70.6 MBThis is a topic of conversation that has come up frequently in my friend groups lately, so I figured it was about time we discuss it on the show. I know there are a lot of opinions around cannabis use and all I ask is that you go into this episode with an open mind. So much research has come out in the last 20 years showing the benefits of cannabis use so we'll be focusing on those, but also some of the reasons cannabis-use has been stigmatized. As more and more countries and states legalize...
