Are you exhausted from chasing endless supplements, protocols, and "root causes" without seeing real results? What if I told you that true healing doesn't require thousands of dollars in lab tests or a complicated regimen of supplements? In fact, the answer might be as simple as stepping outside to catch the morning sun.

In today's episode, I'm diving into an honest and refreshing conversation about health and healing with Josh Rubin of EastWest Healing. We tackle why the wellness industry is increasingly resembling the Western medicine system it often criticizes, and why so many people are stuck in cycles of endless supplements, detoxes, and protocols without seeing real improvement.

Josh shares his direct, no-BS perspective on:

• Why disconnection from nature is profoundly impacting our health
• How even healing itself can become toxic
• The myth of root cause medicine
• How our modern lifestyle works against our biology

After following Josh and his wife Jeanne's work for four years, I've witnessed their unique approach to healing that focuses on reconnecting with our bodies and living in alignment with our biology. While tools like red light therapy and Dutch testing can be helpful, we discuss why it's more important to first look at your environment and how it makes you feel.

Don't miss Josh's powerful insights on why healing doesn't have to be complicated, expensive, or stressful. This conversation might just change how you think about your health journey.

Why are food companies keeping dangerous dyes in American products while offering healthier options in other countries?

Ever wonder why Fruit Loops look different in Canada than they do in the US? Here's the disturbing truth: major food companies are deliberately using harmful artificial dyes in American children's cereals while selling safer versions in other countries. Let's break down exactly why this matters for your family's health.

In this episode, I'm diving into the explosive "Cancel Kellogg's" campaign and the scientific evidence that food companies don't want you to see. We're talking about petroleum-derived food dyes that have been linked to ADHD, behavioral issues, and learning problems in children - dyes that haven't been properly reviewed by the FDA in over 40 YEARS.

Here's what we're covering:

• The real reason these artificial dyes are still in our food (spoiler: it's not because they're safe)
• Why food companies make safer versions for other countries but won't do the same for US kids
• The shocking levels of artificial dyes in popular cereals (hint: it's WAY more than you think)
• How to read labels to spot these sneaky ingredients
• The groundbreaking California law that could change everything
• What you can actually DO about this issue (including a specific bill you can support right now)

Whether you're a parent, educator, or just someone who cares about food safety, this episode will arm you with the knowledge you need to protect yourself and your loved ones. Plus, I'm sharing exactly how to make your voice heard in this fight for safer food.

Because here's the truth: pissed-off moms are how we change this. And I'm going to show you exactly how to channel that anger into action.
