  • Summary

  • Educational, motivational and conversational! Functional and Integrative healthcare providers diving deep into the latest in integrative healthcare and pushing listeners to build the best and most fulfilling version of themselves "their Ultimate Self". Special guests along the way to share their unique stories in health, business and self-development, their ups and downs and their pursuit of their vision and mission.


    This podcast was motivated by over a decade of patients telling and encouraging us to record our conversations and perspectives on various health subjects. For years we kept talking about needing to do it and finally after kicking the can down the road long enough we launched our podcast in January of 2023. Over the years, we would have conversations over the phone on our commute home. We would talk about the various things we would see in our office that day, discuss all the potential complexities of a case, the patient history that was missed from other providers. This would eventually lead to us ranting and going on and ultimately passionately discussing and advocating for a better path going forward for those patients. We would often end those calls saying that we should have recorded that! These conversations and our daily strive to help educate and empower our patients and community made this launch into a podcast not only make sense but ultimately inevitable.


    We pride ourselves on fighting for patients to get better care, better answers and empowering them to take control of their health and life. This podcast is an extension of this wider push for empowering more people through education and asking for nothing in return (well maybe a share and pass long to those who would benefit from listening).


    In the world of functional and integrative health there are varying shades or providers. The hope is our podcast will help listeners be better interviewers of providers out there and weed out the ones that like the sound of being an "integrative/Functional provider" but are still practicing an outdated, protocol driven and non specific model of healthcare. The world of chronic disease is growing by the minute and more and more are being impacted by chronic conditions and need providers who are willing to listen, dig deep, be humble and be willing to put the patient first above all else to figure out why the individual is where they are.


    We found our way into the functional health world first with functional neurology and becoming experts in brain and neurological health. Quickly into this journey you realize the brain can not thrive without proper metabolic and cell health, Immune and cardiac function and optimal biochemistry...ultimately leading us to layer both functional and integrative medicine and functional neurology into our clinical approach. If you are going to retrain and rehab the brain you better home you can fuel it and feed it to see the best outcomes for neuroplasticity.


    Our episodes are going to span across any and every top we can imagine. From mitochondrial health, anti-aging, functional medicine, functional neurology, concussion care and post concussion syndrome to mast cell activation, auto immune disease, weight gain and metabolic disease to name a few. Over the years we have been blessed to meet and work with incredible individuals and we will invite them on to share their perspective....From former pro athlete to business owner to author to renowned educator in the field, we plan to touch on it all.


    We hope you enjoy our shows and discussions on functional and integrative health and we hope it can help serve you in becoming your best and strongest version of yourself. Please join in our mission to help educate and empower and ultimately force a new standard in healthcare that is about patient-centered care targeting the cause and not the symptom(s). Please share far and wide and join our mission!

    Featuring Dr. Courtney Gowin, DC. Pediatric and Maternal Health Expert, Entrepreneur & Author
    Jun 25 2024

    In this episode we had the pleasure of interviewing and hosting Dr. Courtney Gowin, a pediatric chiropractor and maternal health expert as well as a serial entrepreneur and soon to be author. We have known Dr. Gowin for years and when ever we had a pediatric case that needed her expertise she was always our referral of choice for our patients.


    In our episode we discuss the her journey into specializing into pediatric and maternal health. We touch on the areas that is lacking for pediatric and maternal health and how she is trying to improve the community approach to maternal health.

    We discuss her entrepreneurship and how this area continues to expand and how she started dreaming beyond just having a pediatric and maternal health practice.

    Dr Gowin a couple years ago started a travel related business where she helps other host and provide retreats to their respective communities as a way to help people heal, optimize their health and get in touch with their purpose. We touch on Wanderlearn retreats and how this has continued to grow and morph into something truly special. We discuss our partnership in our upcoming retreat to Maui in February of 2025.


    We hope you enjoy our episode with Dr. Gowin and her uplifting and energetic and creative spirit.

  • Are Oxalates Behind Your Chronic Complaints? Featuring: Sally K. Norton, Author of "Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalates are Making You Sick-and How to Get Better"

    Are Oxalates Behind Your Chronic Complaints? Featuring: Sally K. Norton, Author of "Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalates are Making You Sick-and How to Get Better"
    Jun 18 2024


    Podcast Episode Description:

    In this episode, we are thrilled to welcome a special guest, Sally K. Norton, MPH, also known as The Ivy-League Nutritionist. Sally is the esteemed author of "Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload is Making You Sick—and How to Get Better" and "Data Companion to Toxic Superfoods" (visit her at sallyknorton.com).

    Join us as we delve into Sally's journey to becoming an expert in the world of oxalates and their significant role in human health. Despite the limited discussion in the medical world—beyond kidney stones—oxalates can be a hidden cause of various symptoms. Unfortunately, many individuals remain unaware that oxalates are at the root of their health issues and are often treated only for the symptoms.

    In our conversation, we explore how oxalates can contribute to gut issues, joint pain, fibromyalgia, fatigue, and more. We discuss the dietary sources of oxalates, the impact of changing dietary trends on oxalate exposure, and the resulting health problems.

    We share real-life stories from our patients, illustrating how addressing oxalate overload has alleviated chronic pain, fibromyalgia, arthritis-like symptoms, and stubborn weight gain. Additionally, we cover other factors contributing to oxalate accumulation and the subsequent health issues.

    We hope you enjoy our enlightening discussion with @sknorton as much as we did and look forward to having her back to further explore the fascinating world of oxalates and their impact on human health and chronic disease.

    Please like, share, and help us spread this valuable information if you know someone struggling with chronic health issues. Be sure to check out sallyknorton.com and her book, "Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload is Making You Sick—and How to Get Better," a tremendous resource for our patient base.

    In this episode we interview a colleague and local entrepreneur that I hold tremendous respect for. A new business opening during the chaos of COVID and all the hurdles that comes with a new business, our guess walks us through what helped him get through this to where he is today...a thriving and expanding business.

    I have known of Scott for almost 8-10 years if I had to guess but it was not until the past few years where I was fortunate to get to know him on a personal level. We have mutual patients and the patients that see and work with him rave about him and the care his business, Greater Than Performance, delivers. His gym providers an amazing approach to athletic performance and training as well as all the providers that you would want supporting you.

    The more I got speaking with Scott, I couldn't help but appreciate that one of his biggest strengths was his mindset and mental approach to personal and business growth.


    In our episode together we touch on various topics. Exploring forming a business through COVID, to morning routines, functional care and health optimization to the role of religion and spirituality in serving in one's pursuit of growth and optimization of one self.


    I hope you enjoy our conversation and discussion.
