Hello fascinating humans!
I’m so glad you’re joining me today. We’ve got a jam-packed episode where we dive deep into some pressing topics, from nutritional solutions for ALS to managing cholesterol naturally, and even exploring the power of affirmations.
Two more weeks until my new solo podcast and I have been busy recording and getting things ready behind the scenes. So, here is one of my favourite radio shows to share with you this week.
Show Notes
Nutritional Insights for ALS Relief, Cholesterol Solutions, and the Power of Affirmations
Segment 1: Nutritional Relief for ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis)
Listener Question: Randy Evans asks for help on behalf of his sister who has ALS. He's looking for natural, nutritional solutions to ease her symptoms.
Response: ALS is a rare, neurodegenerative disease that affects the motor neurons, and while there’s no cure, there are steps we can take to manage the symptoms and potentially improve quality of life. Nutrients like amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins such as B12, vitamin D, and magnesium play critical roles in nerve health. We also discuss the importance of genetic testing to identify possible deficiencies and SNPs (genetic variations) that may be affecting nutrient absorption.
Key Takeaways:
Focus on nutrient-dense foods: whole foods, leafy greens, fatty fish, pastured meats, and healthy fats.
Consider nutrient IVs if digestion is compromised.
Environmental factors like chemical exposure or living near harmful toxins can exacerbate ALS symptoms.
Emotional and spiritual wellness play a vital role in healing—create a timeline from childhood to present to uncover potential triggers.

Segment 2: Lowering Cholesterol Naturally
Listener Question: Mark wants to know what dietary changes can help lower his cholesterol levels.
Response: Cholesterol is essential for our health, but too much of the wrong type can be harmful. We break down the key dietary changes that can help you manage cholesterol levels naturally.
Key Takeaways:
Incorporate soluble fiber (found in oats, beans, lentils, and fruits) to help reduce cholesterol absorption.
Focus on healthy fats like olive oil, ghee, and fatty fish (salmon, sardines, etc.).
Avoid seed oils (canola, sunflower, soybean) which are linked to inflammation and cardiovascular issues.
Stay hydrated—dehydration can increase cholesterol levels. Make sure you’re drinking enough water, especially if consuming caffeine.
Regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and stress management are key to optimal cardiovascular health.
Segment 3: Do Affirmations Really Work?
Listener Insight: Affirmations have been a topic of intrigue for years, but do they really work? In this segment, I share my own experience with affirmations and how they played a role in my healing journey. From the power of setting intentions to the science behind neural pathways and quantum physics, affirmations might be more than just feel-good words.
Key Takeaways:
Affirmations help to set clear intentions, which can activate neural reward pathways.
Studies show that self-affirmation can trigger the brain’s reward circuits, potentially influencing how we feel and behave.
Being an open-minded skeptic might be the best way to approach affirmations—just give them a try and see what shifts occur.
