Integrating the Kalish method and the science of nutritional genomics into her work, she named her practice 23 Nutrition Therapy.

In this episode, she emphasizes the gut hormone detox connection and how it can lead to symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, sleep issues, and gut problems. Saldivar shares her approach of comprehensive root cause analysis and testing to help clients rebalance stress hormones, heal the gut lining, and support detoxification for sustainable wellness. The episode also explores various testing methods, including gut testing, hormone testing, conventional lab work, and micronutrient testing, as well as the significance of personalized nutrition and lifestyle changes. Practical tips are provided to support gut healing, hormone balance, and detox pathways, while debunking diet misconceptions. Key Points: • Comprehensive testing is crucial in identifying imbalances in stress hormones, gut health, and detoxification. • Correcting the gut hormone detox connection in the right order can lead to significant progress in healing and overall well-being. • Detox pathways are evaluated, with a specific emphasis on liver function and glutathione levels. • A clear and structured plan is developed to address specific concerns in a phased approach. • Misconceptions exist on both extremes: thinking diet alone can solve everything or dismissing diet as unrelated to health problems. • Struggling with gut breakdown due to a poor diet but still wanting to consume trigger foods or drinks creates a disconnect. • Quick wins for gut, hormone, and detox health include focusing on chewing food properly and ensuring adequate protein intake.

* * * * * Hey there, welcome back to the Empowered Nutrition Podcast. I'm Erin Skinner, your host, and I'm excited to take you on a journey into the incredible world of Berberine in this episode. Together, we'll discover the superpowers of this natural plant compound and its profound impact on our digestive, metabolic, and hormonal health. BERBERINE: THE UNSUNG HERO Imagine Berberine as the unsung hero of the supplement world. It's not a prescription drug, but it's gaining superstar status for its unique ability to kickstart the release of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). These GLP-1 superpowers are a game-changer in the realm of metabolic health. SAFETY FIRST: NAVIGATING THE BERBERINE UNIVERSE Let's navigate the safety of Berberine. Most adults can embrace its benefits, but we need to be cautious. Expect some minor side effects like mild abdominal discomfort, constipation, or the occasional bout of nausea. But a word of advice, Berberine is best suited for those facing health challenges. For healthy individuals, it may not be the supplement you're looking for. WITNESS BERBERINE'S BREATHTAKING FEATS Prepare to be wowed by Berberine's breathtaking feats. It swoops in to save the day in the battle against diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), high cholesterol, and the formidable obesity villain. It's a powerful ally, but having healthcare professionals as your sidekicks when introducing Berberine to your health journey is a smart move. DOSING DRAMA AND CAUTIOUS CALM Let's dive into the dosing drama. The script reads 500 milligrams, two to three times a day, for one to six months. Berberine may be a powerful ally, but long-term alliances should be approached with caution. Especially if your medication squad is already on standby. BERBERINE'S SECRET WEAPONS Discover Berberine's secret weapons as I unravel the six primary mechanisms through which it conquers the battlefield. From rallying nitrate-reducing bacteria to amping up short-chain fatty acid production, this hero doesn't back down. It's all part of the grand plan to reduce inflammation, optimize bile metabolism, foster Akkermansia bacteria growth, and control hormones to slay the dragons of appetite and sugar cravings. CALLING ALL HEALTH WARRIORS Berberine steps into the spotlight when health warriors face particular adversaries. When weight loss resistance, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and PCOS are the battlegrounds, Berberine is your trusty sword. For other quests, consult your healthcare professionals for guidance. ENDURING LEGACY The awe-inspiring aspect of Berberine? Its enduring legacy. Even after Berberine exits the stage, its impact on the gut microbiome continues to shine. It's like having a guardian angel looking out for your health, long after the final bow. THE FINAL ACT As we wrap up this episode, I hope you've gained a newfound appreciation for the superpowers of Berberine. This superhero in supplement form may be your ticket to a healthier, happier future.

Welcome to another episode of the Empower Nutrition Podcast! I'm your host, Erin Skinner, and I'm so excited to delve into today's topic with you: gut health 101. It's not just about avoiding bloating or discomfort – a healthy gut is essential for overall well-being. If you've been enjoying the podcast, please take a moment to leave us a positive review. It really helps us spread the word to those seeking nutritional solutions for chronic challenges related to digestion, metabolism, and hormones. Today, we're going to explore why gut health is so crucial. While most people understand the connection between gut health and digestion, there's a lot more to it. The gut is often referred to as the "second brain" due to its wide-ranging influence on various bodily systems. It produces neurotransmitters and plays a vital role in mental health, immune function, hormonal balance, and even metabolic health. Mental health is closely tied to gut health, and there's well-documented evidence supporting this connection. Additionally, the gut's impact on the immune system is significant, contributing to autoimmune conditions, allergies, asthma, and skin reactivity like eczema and psoriasis. Hormone imbalances also stem from gut health, particularly the estrobolome which affects estrogen levels. Unhealthy gut health can lead to hormone-related symptoms such as PMS, fertility issues, and mood swings. Furthermore, gut health is intricately linked to metabolic health. Many individuals in the modern world suffer from metabolic endotoxemia, where inflammatory elements from the gut enter the bloodstream due to a compromised gut lining. This leads to systemic inflammation affecting insulin sensitivity and hormone signaling, contributing to obesity and metabolic syndrome. The implications of poor gut health don't stop there. It's closely tied to the two main causes of death in Western societies: cardiovascular disease and cancer. Inflammation triggered by gut health issues plays a significant role in the development of arterial plaque and cancer. Even dementia is connected to gut health through the release of inflammatory compounds into the bloodstream, increasing the risk of cognitive decline. Considering these dire consequences, it's clear that prioritizing gut health is vital. While genetics, nutrition, and lifestyle also contribute to health challenges, the gut is a primary driver behind many chronic conditions. Here are some actionable steps you can take to improve your gut health: __ __ While working on these positive changes, it's also important to minimize factors that harm gut health. Antibiotics, certain medications, alcohol, refined flour, sugar, and excessive use of NSAIDs can negatively impact gut health. Remember, gut health is a multifaceted endeavor, and addressing it requires a holistic approach. By incorporating fermented foods, prioritizing fiber, consuming nutrient-dense foods, and making informed choices about medications and lifestyle, you can significantly improve your gut health and overall well-being.

Adrenal fatigue is not a real medical diagnosis. However, the phenomenon is alluding to an imbalance in terms of the levels of your adrenal hormones, related to the signaling between your brain, adrenal glands, thyroid, and gut. Adrenal hormones include cortisol, aldosterone, adrenaline, and noradrenaline.There are actual medical diseases that involve very abnormal levels of adrenal hormones such as Cushings disease – high cortisol. However, the term ‘adrenal fatigue’ refers more to a departure from optimal levels that doesn’t reach an extreme. If you suspect adrenal fatigue or an imbalance of adrenal hormones and ask your conventional provider to check you, they will likely test your cortisol levels and tell you that you’re normal. That’s becaue they’re using the reference ranges for the traditional, overt adrenal disease. However, Empowered Nutrition, we acknowledge that many people have imbalances of their adrenal hormones that impact their health, yet do not meet the traditional cut-offs for overt disease. Here are some of the things we see with adrenal imbalance: __ __ Remember, the adrenals are the foundation that then impact the sex hormones and thyroid so you will see symptoms related to any of the three. Some of the most common scenarios where we see adrenal dysregulation are: __ __ If you suspect adrenal imbalance, there are a few ways to test: __ __ Whether you test or not, there are few tried and true steps that you can take to support your adrenal health.

In this episode of the Empowered Nutrition Podcast, we dive into the topic of Sucralose, a non-caloric sweetener commonly known as Splenda. Join me as I discuss a recent article published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, shedding light on the potential dangers associated with Sucralose. 🔸 Claim 1: Stability and Digestion Sucralose was believed to pass through the gut undigested and unchanged. However, research shows that Sucralose breaks down in the gut, releasing chlorine into the system and raising concerns about its potential health risks. 🔸 Claim 2: Impact on the Gut Microbiome Initial claims suggested no effect on the gut microbiome, but subsequent studies have demonstrated that Sucralose disrupts and damages the microbiome in both humans and animals, leading to a compromised gut barrier and systemic inflammation. 🔸 Claim 3: Intestinal Barrier Integrity Sucralose was believed to have no impact on the intestinal barrier, but it has been found to damage the gut lining, leading to increased permeability, epithelial scarring, and bacterial infiltration. These effects are associated with inflammation and increased risk of colon cancer. 🔸 Claim 4: Bioaccumulation Contrary to initial claims, Sucralose does bioaccumulate in the body, particularly in adipose tissue. Studies have shown that it persists in fat tissue even after discontinuing its consumption, and it can lead to increased lipid accumulation in fat cells. 🔸 Claim 5: Metabolic Effects Early claims stated that Sucralose had no effect on metabolism, blood glucose, or insulin. However, research over the past two decades has revealed that Sucralose alters glucose and insulin concentrations in humans, impairs liver metabolic health, and blunts thyroid function. 🔸 Claim 6: Biological and Toxicological Impact Initial claims suggested no toxicological impact or consequences on genes. However, studies have shown that Sucralose increases the risk of genotoxicity, DNA damage, and cancer. Heating Sucralose produces toxic compounds, further exacerbating its potential harm. 🔬 Listen here as I conclude that the six original safety claims of Sucralose have been debunked by scientific evidence, emphasizing the need to be aware of the potential risks associated with this commonly used sweetener. 🎧 Listen to the full episode on the Empowered Nutrition Podcast to learn more about the research findings and gain insights into making informed choices about sweeteners and their impact on your health.

Curious about genetic testing and how beneficial it can be for your health? No…we’re not talking about the ancestry testing that told you that you are 99.9% likely to prefer vanilla ice cream over chocolate. On this week’s podcast, I have the pleasure of talking about nutrigenetics with Dr. Yael Joffe, the founder of 3x4 genetics! Think of your genetics as a blueprint that gives you an idea of who you are and how you respond to the world around you. Nutrigenetics, as you have put together is personalized nutrition based on our genetics and how our DNA influences the choices we make in life. Why start your healthcare journey with a genetic test? You only have to test once in your lifetime because genes don’t change! What changes is how genes switch on and off based on our environment. How is this test different from another DNA test? 3x4 uses root cause analysis to view pathways that affect the cell (inflammation, metabolism, and detoxification processes) and groups together multiple genes and using a polygenetic risk score to measure your disease risk based on your genome. This week, Dr. Yael Joffe and I discuss: · FOUR ways genetics can be used as a screening tool: __ __ · Red flags and questions to ask the genetic testing companies. · And so much more!

This week’s podcast episode features Dr. Barrie Tan – a world renowned expert in the chemical and biochemical world, known for his discovery of the most potent form of Vitamin E, tocotrienol! A little background on Vitamin E: Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin (absorbed with dietary fats and stored in fatty tissue and the liver) and is made up of 8 related molecules, collectively grouped together as Vitamin E. The mechanism of Vitamin E acts as an important antioxidant to help protect our cells from free-radical damage. As many forms of Vitamin E exist, our focus today is tocotrienol, and shouldn’t be confused with alpha-tocopherol, the most common form of Vitamin E you see on the back of most vitamin bottles. Because tocotrienols are a (fairly) recent scientific discovery, prior studies for Vitamin E supplementation used alpha-tocopherol- which turned out to have some unfortunate downsides for cardiac and cancer research. However, the discovery of pure tocotrienol from annatto plants have continuously made an impact on Vitamin E and antioxidant research. Some health benefits of supplementing with tocotrienol are reduction of fat in the liver as well as overall reduction in inflammatory biomarkers, as well as improvement of bone health, cardiovascular health, insulin sensitivity, brain health, and so much more! Bottom line: the type of Vitamin E you are supplementing with matters! It’s nearly impossible to get adequate antioxidant protection from diet alone. Watch our interview here! Interested in learning more about Vitamin E? Dr. Tan has so graciously offered us a link to his free e-book! You can also head over to Dr. Barrie’s website to check out his research with annatto and tocotrienols! Lean for Life Membership Check out more details on our website!

Ready or not, Artificial Intelligence is taking over our world and the way we receive information. AI chatbots such as Chat GPT allows you to have human-like conversations and can answer questions to assist you with tasks, custom workout plans, etc…you name it! On today’s podcast episode, I tested Chat GPT’s responses to basic nutrition questions to determine how reliable the responses are in comparison to a dietitian’s evidence-based recommendations. AI is not perfect, and ChatGPT is always programmed to find you an answer, so think of the chatbot like a “Super google” to get one synthesized answer. Listen to hear how Chat GPT responded to the following questions! - “How much fish oil is safe to consume?” - “What supplements should I take for PCOS?” - “Is it healthy to follow a carnivore diet?” - “Is saturated fat unhealthy?” - “Are vegan diets healthy?” As always, AI is not a replacement for a healthcare practitioner’s advice.

Unless you’ve been living off-grid for the last few months, chances are you’ve heard of Ozempic (or semaglutide)– the newest FDA approved miracle injection for weight loss. Social media has ignited feeds across the world with weight loss transformation posts from semaglutide injections- and 812 million views on TikTok to be exact. Tailored to diabetes, this drug works by stimulating insulin secretion and therefore lowering fasting and postprandial glucose levels in four mechanisms. During the Ozempic drug trials, it was noted that weight loss was such a consistent and dramatic side effect that the FDA approved semaglutide for weight loss under the brand name Wegovy in 2021. In this episode, I discuss: __ __ __ To sum it up, weight loss medications like Ozempic cannot have substantial results without compromise (i.e. losing lean muscle mass). Most importantly, NONE of the weight loss medications are fixing the root cause of the problem. The purpose of this podcast is to help you make an informed decision about your options for weight loss. If you are considering semaglutide injections for weight loss, talk to your doctor about the pros and cons! LOVE IT? HATE IT? WE’D LOVE TO HEAR YOUR FEEDBACK!

What’s a wellness hack that no one talks about? Wearing a CGM! A CGM is the common abbreviation for a continuous glucose monitor – a wearable device that uses real-time data to help you understand and manage your blood sugar spikes from food after meals. Typically, most CGM devices are worn on the upper arm or abdomen for 7-10 days and provide continuous glucose readings every 5 minutes to a Bluetooth-enabled smart device. As you might expect, a CGM graph could determine if you are experiencing frequent blood sugar spikes after meals, however, there are other factors that can lead to blood sugar imbalances like stress, poor sleep quality, medications, and dehydration. Long term blood sugar dysregulation can lead to insulin resistance, which drives inflammation, chronic diseases, excessive hunger, immune suppression and fat storage. In this week’s podcast episode, I discuss my favorite insider tips and tricks to optimizing blood sugar and give you a sneak peek into the process of how our dietitians interpret data from your device, including: __ __ READY TO DIVE IN?

COULD A FUNCTIONAL HORMONE PANEL EXPLAIN YOUR FATIGUE AND RESISTANCE TO WEIGHT LOSS? The answer is yes, but it’s really difficult to find a solution to hormonal imbalances through conventional testing. Here’s why: Hormonal imbalances can cause a multitude of symptoms such as weight loss resistance, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and common menstrual cycle symptoms like mood swings, breast tenderness and PMS. Evaluating hormones through conventional hormone labs are equivocally comparable to looking at a small part of a bigger picture. So, what’s the preferred approach for hormone health and what are the reasons why you should get a functional hormone panel? Stay tuned as I unravel the mystery of hormone testing and why the basic conventional markers such as TSH, T4, estradiol, etc., will not give you the whole picture.

IBS Case Study Ever wonder a functional dietitian could help heal gut dysfunction? The microbiome is considered the powerhouse of our health, and when there is an imbalance of good commensal bacteria, your digestive health is likely to be compromised. Interestingly, Most of our GI-focused clients come to us as a last-ditch effort to find relief from chronic intestinal symptoms that may have been previously diagnosed by a gastroenterologist (IBS, SIBO, Crohn’s, etc.). While the diagnosis is important, it is vital to know that the root cause of diagnosis might not be addressed and your symptoms may still be a hinderance - this is where a functional dietitian comes in. The benefits of working with a functional dietitian to help you heal your gut would include: __ __ We are so excited to use this podcast episode as an opportunity to explain our clinical and functional approach to IBS.
