Are you interested in learning more about your health issues?  Have you been worried about your chronic conditions? In this episode I talk with Evan Transue, AKA Detective Ev. Evan is the host of The Health Detective Podcast and owner of Bucks County Light Therapy and Functional Medicine Center. He graduated from Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) in 2017. Prior to finding FDN he, and his mom, had suffered with a variety of health challenges for over a decade. The FDN system transformed his and his mom's lives so profoundly that all of his work is now centered around spreading its teachings. Evan speaks professionally to middle and high school students about mental health challenges and to date has spoken to 50,000 students. We discuss his journey with mental health struggles, sickness, drug use and so much more. He describes his struggles and his journey into functional wellness to heal himself.

 

Questions I asked:

·      Can you tell us your story?

·      What happened with your drug use?

·      What was the catalyst for you trying to figure out what was wrong?

·      How did you figure out what was wrong?

How does gut health play a role in this?

What changed in your diet?

What advice do you have for anyone listening?

Where can people find you?

 

Topics Discussed:

·      Chronic conditions.

·      Natural foods.

·      Immune issues.

·      Gut health.

·      Mental health.

·      Depression and Anxiety.

·      Finding out what’s wrong.

·      Overcoming challenges.

·      Drug abuse.

 

Quotes from the show:

·      “Due to the mental health struggles, I started abusing drugs at the age of 15.” @evantransuespeaks @SisterhoodSweat

·      “I have a PhD, I got it at age 18 and it’s called blaming other people for my problems.” @evantransuespeaks  @SisterhoodSweat

·      “After heavy drug use, your brain is not working the way it used to, and your personality isn’t the same.” @evantransuespeaks @SisterhoodSweat

·      “The worse I got mental health wise, the more I embodied the idea that I’m the problem.” @evantransuespeaks @SisterhoodSweat

Ep 586: Building Beautiful Muscle with Kim Rahir


Are you interested in a more natural way of living?  Have you been worried about the quality of your food? In this episode I talk with Kim Rahir. Kim is a 60 year old mother of three who was diagnosed with MS 10 years ago and decided to ignore her then doctor's advice and muscle her way back to a happy life. This year she became European Champion in Masters Weightlifting in her age and weight category. Her journey inspired her to leave her career in journalism in her 50s and become a health coach for middle aged women - with a big focus on reactivating and rebuilding muscle. She helps women start strength training wherever they are at and get rid of diet culture conditioning to eat to nourish and flourish. We discuss weightlifting for women, and why it’s considered such a masculine thing. We also discuss the importance of building muscle and keeping yourself healthy and injury free.

 

Questions I asked:

·      Can you tell us your story?

·      What is your mission?

·      Why muscle for women?

·      How are muscle and health related?

·      Why is it particularly important for women?

·      What about running or Pilates?

·      What can women do to start building muscle without getting hurt?

·      How can we overcome the stereotypes of: muscle building is “pumping iron” and will make women bulky?

·      Where can people find you?

 

Topics Discussed:

·      Health.

·      Natural foods.

·      Immune issues.

·      Weightlifting.

·      The science behind aging.

·      Higher energy levels.

·      Healthy.

·      Diet and Exercise.

 

Quotes from the show:

·      “If you view food as your fuel, then everything will become easier.” Kim Rahir @SisterhoodSweat

·      “You can hit your bodies calorie needs so easily with healthy fats.” Kim Rahir @SisterhoodSweat

·      “It was a full MS releapse.” Kim Rahir @SisterhoodSweat

·      “You train the body to recover.” Kim Rahir @SisterhoodSweat
