  • 56: The Shocking Consequences of Outsourcing Your Food Supply
    Jul 31 2024
    Outsourcing food production is not only foolish but downright irresponsible, considering how vital food is to our health and well-being. In this episode of the Primal Shift Podcast, I’ll explain why growing your own food — as opposed to blindly trusting faceless corporations with your nourishment — is crucial for truly healthy living. In short, many staples of the standard American diet are produced in ways that deeply degrade their nutritional value (and in some cases, actually make the food harmful). For example, store-bought chicken is often bathed in chlorine and contains high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from the birds’ diet, leading to inflammation in your body. Pasteurized dairy, stripped of bioactive ingredients and beneficial bacteria through the pasteurization process, amounts to junk food. Raw honey isn’t exempt either, as it’s often contaminated with microplastics and chemicals from plastic foundations and treatments used in commercial beekeeping. Even the best store-bought pastured eggs have been washed in chemicals, and the porous eggshells can allow residues to seep into the eggs you consume. Join me in this episode as I talk about how to get involved in growing your own food, including tips and practical steps you can take to start your journey towards a healthier, more self-sufficient lifestyle.

  • 55: Overcoming Sugar Cravings | Expert Tips from Danielle Daem
    Jul 24 2024
    Why is sugar so addictive, and how can you break free from its grasp? In this episode of the Primal Shift Podcast, we explore the complex relationship between sugar, cravings, and our overall well-being. It’s not just about diet. Emotional and psychological factors play significant roles in how we interact with food, and particularly sugar. In fact, today’s guest Danielle Daem says that sugar’s impact on our brain’s dopamine centers can be as powerful as hard drugs like cocaine and heroin, leading to cycles of cravings and crashes that affect our mood, energy levels, and our long-term health. A certified health coach who specializes in sugar addiction recovery, as well as the host of the Beyond Sugar Freedom podcast, Daem explains why processed foods and simple carbohydrates wreak havoc on our metabolic health, causing issues like blood sugar dysregulation, hormonal imbalances, and even mental health challenges. Importantly, she also shares practical strategies for overcoming sugar cravings by addressing both the physical and emotional roots of sugar addiction. This episode is packed with valuable information about why sugar is harmful, how to stop eating it, and what to eat instead.

  • 54: How Diet Impacts Your Body Odor!
    Jul 17 2024
    In this episode I dive into the fascinating connection between diet and body odor, sharing personal anecdotes and scientific insights to help you understand how what you eat can influence how you smell. There are two main types of sweat glands: eccrine glands and apocrine glands. Eccrine glands produce a watery, odorless sweat that helps regulate body temperature, while apocrine glands (found in areas like the armpits and groin) secrete a thicker fluid that’s rich in proteins and lipids. When the fluid produced by apocrine glands interacts with skin bacteria, it leads to body odor. Diet can influence which glands are more active and how their secretions interact with your skin. Consuming a diet high in processed foods and sugars can lead to increased activity of apocrine glands, whereas a diet that’s rich in meat and low in processed foods supports a healthier skin microbiome (and thus, less smell). Plus, certain foods (like garlic and onions) can add sulfur compounds to sweat, exacerbating your BO. In my personal experience and experiments, following an animal-based diet — combined with cutting out antibacterial soaps that can disrupt the skin’s microbiome — has reduced my body odor so significantly that I no longer have to wear deodorant. For those still needing a deodorant, I’ll share my experience with a natural, beef tallow-based deodorant from Nose to Tail that is effective and made from non-toxic ingredients. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with body odor or who is looking to understand the deeper connections between diet, bacteria, and personal hygiene. In this episode: 00:00 - Intro 02:30 - Understanding sweat glands and bacteria 04:19 - Chemical compounds responsible for body odor 05:53 - Impact of diet on body odor 06:50 - Kummer bootcamp 11:01 - Bad bacteria vs. good bacteria 12:44 - Misconceptions about meat and body odor 14:30 - Safe deodorant recommendations 17:00 - Final thoughts 🔔 Don’t forget to like & subscribe for more insights into health, nutrition, and well-being!
