Dr. Amanda is a chiropractor who focuses on Neuro-Optimization. Her tools and strategies aim to help people regulate and optimize their nervous systems.  

When people undergo pain and stressful events in their life, their nervous system can become dysregulated. This shifts their body from the parasympathetic to the sympathetic nervous system.

Over long periods of time, this could lead to various symptoms in one’s body.

In her chiropractic practice, Dr. Amanda uses revolutionary approaches that are gentle, light touch, and specific.  

Her motto is: "The doctor determines the diagnosis, the patient decides the prognosis". Dr.Amanda believes that patients have more power and control over their healing than they think. They simply need the tools and strategies to support them on their healing journey.

In this episode, we discuss what neuro-optimization is and how we can use it to help heal our bodies from the inside out. You'll learn techniques you can do on your own in the comfort of your own home like breathwork and meditation.

Marion Reinson is the executive director of Eating For Your Health by Suppers, a nonprofit in Princeton, New Jersey that takes nutrition out of the clinic and into the home kitchen, where real change happens.

Under Reinson, the group educates participants about how to source and prepare delicious, whole-food meals—without processed ingredients. She works meaningfully and inclusively with all stakeholders including schools, higher-education institutions, older adult communities, faith- and civic-based organizations, businesses, and other local nonprofits to deliver robust, judgment-free nutritional curriculums rooted in science and research.

She believes that with the right foods, anything seems possible—improved health, sharper focus, a stronger spirit. A better you. As the executive director of Eating For Your Health by Suppers, Reinson leads a team of experienced medical advisors and dietitians who tailor each program's curriculum to the specific dietary needs, tastes, budget, background, and culture of the course’s participants.

That's because Reinson knows every person is unique. No single approach to food is suitable for everyone. So, the nonprofit doesn’t tell you what to eat. Instead, it advises which foods are proven to strengthen your mind and body, leaving the rest up to you. You decide which foods are the best and most practical for you. And they don’t judge.

The organization is rooted in several key pillars. The most important one, perhaps, is ensuring a judgment-free environment. Eating for Your Health knows people don't learn well when they feel judged. Here, they never will be.

Prior to being appointed executive director, Reinson was an advisory board member for the group under founder Dorothy Mullen, who started the nonprofit by coordinating shared meal meetings in homes and public spaces.

Outside nutrition, Reinson has 20-plus years of experience in business consulting, designing strategies to meet the wide-ranging needs of businesses at distinct stages and challenges.

In this episode, we break down how to take the overwhelm out of healthy eating. With simple and actionable small changes to your meal planning, shopping, and cooking, you'll be able to discover a healthy food diet that works for you without added stress, expensive ingredients, or time-consuming planning and cooking!

Until the age of 45, Netta had always eaten "normally"... that is, 3 meals a day, sometimes a snack or two, and treats. She was a self-identified sweet tooth. Not a day went by without her eating chocolate, cookies, or some kind of sweet dessert. And she didn't have a problem with that. She was lucky in that she didn't have a weight problem. But weight isn't the only sign of health. From her early thirties, Netta had been suffering from very slow digestion, with bloating and pain, as well as infertility issues, depression, anxiety, mood swings, achy joints, and signs of a fatty liver. In July 2015, after months of resisting the idea, Netta tried the unthinkable: she cut out sugar, sweeteners, and flour for a period of two weeks - no more!

But after only a few days she started feeling so much more energetic! Within a few weeks, her extra weight and cravings disappeared, as well as her cellulite, PMS, and frequent headaches. She had better concentration and mental clarity, better digestion, less joint stiffness, less swelling (no more inflammation), clearer, more glowing skin, and her moods stabilized. 

Intermittent fasting came naturally as a result of appetite correction a few months after she cut sugar. Now she eats once or twice a day, is never bothered with cravings or the need to snack, and enjoys her food like never before. 
  
Netta now enjoys a more healthy relationship with food because she sees it as a delicious and fun way to nourish herself, not as a calculation of macros and calories. She also has better self-esteem (because she feels and looks so great!). And it's been almost 7 years!   

Netta also learned how to make her own probiotic (fermented) foods and drinks as a delicious way to look after her gut health. She makes her own yogurt, kefir, kombucha and lacto-fermented sauerkraut and kimchi.  

Netta has an online private community (the After Sugar Club), a website, a YouTube channel, and a podcast called Life After Sugar. In her community, Netta gives personal guidance based on her 7 years of living happily sugar-free. She teaches small but powerful mindset shifts to make your intermittent fasting lifestyle easy, natural, and sustainable so that you can feel healthier with more energy and confidence... and less sugar!

In this episode, we break down how to make the transition to living sugar-free, how intermittent fasting plays a key role in long-term success, and just how important it is to find community when starting and maintaining your sugar-free journey.
