Could Root Cause Healing for Chronic Fatigue start with something as simple as rethinking the food on your table?     On this episode of the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa Fischer sits down with Monica Corrado for a lively conversation about raw milk, traditional dairy cows, A1 and A2 casein, and why the way milk is produced may matter as much as the milk itself.     Monica breaks down the differences between raw, pasteurized, and homogenized milk and explains what the cream line can reveal about milk quality. She also explores why some people may struggle when introducing raw milk, how fermented foods can support the microbiome, and why homemade yogurt and kefir can be different from commercially produced versions.     The conversation then expands into the GAPS Diet, gut health, fermented foods, and Monica's belief that real food can provide a powerful foundation for wellness. They also discuss access to raw milk and the changing landscape of food regulations.     👉 Subscribe to the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, join the newsletter at https://lisafischersaid.com/podcast/, and follow @lisafischersaid for more.     Here's where to find Monica:   Website: https://simplybeingwell.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mcsimplybeingwell Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/simplybeingwell/     Here are more ways you can connect with Lisa:   Website:  https://lisafischersaid.com/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/lisafischersaid/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/lisafischersaid/ Health Coaching:  https://lisafischersaid.com/healthcoaching/ Lisa Fischer Said Academy:  https://lisafischersaid.com/academy/     Support our wonderful sponsors:   Ralston Family Farms:  https://www.ralstonfamilyfarms.com/ Akel's Carpet One:  https://www.akelscarpetone.com/ David's Beef:  https://davidsbeef.com/ Marlsgate:  https://marlsgate.com     The Lisa Fischer Said Podcast is produced by https://clantoncreative.com/

Could Mitochondrial Health and Cellular Aging be connected to the bigger metabolic picture behind PCOS? Christine Horton joins Lisa Fischer to challenge the way we think about polycystic ovarian syndrome and explain why the conversation may need to expand beyond the ovaries.     Christine breaks down the emerging PMOS terminology, why PCOS can look completely different from one woman to another, and why a diagnosis can remain lifelong even when symptoms improve.

Mitochondrial Health and Cellular Aging may sound complicated, but could better health really start with just three essential supplements?     In this episode of the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, Lisa Fischer sits down with supplement expert and clinical nutritionist Dr. Luke Bucci to break down the foundational supplements he believes can provide the most benefit: vitamin D3, omega-3s, and magnesium.     Dr. Bucci explains why vitamin D matters far beyond bone health, how vitamin K2 fits into the picture, and why testing your vitamin D levels can help you make smarter decisions. He also reveals why he prefers krill oil over traditional fish oil, how to recognize rancid omega-3s, and what makes omega-3 phospholipids so important.     The conversation also explores magnesium forms, magnesium-rich foods, calcium supplementation, bone remodeling, gut health, plant foods, polyphenols, and the connection between nutrition and healthy aging.     👉 Subscribe to the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, join the newsletter at https://lisafischersaid.com/podcast/, and follow @lisafischersaid for more.     Here are more ways you can connect with Lisa:   Website:  https://lisafischersaid.com/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/lisafischersaid/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/lisafischersaid/ Health Coaching:  https://lisafischersaid.com/healthcoaching/ Lisa Fischer Said Academy:  https://lisafischersaid.com/academy/     Support our wonderful sponsors:   Ralston Family Farms:  https://www.ralstonfamilyfarms.com/ Akel's Carpet One:  https://www.akelscarpetone.com/ David's Beef:  https://davidsbeef.com/ Marlsgate:  https://marlsgate.com     The Lisa Fischer Said Podcast is produced by https://clantoncreative.com/

Menopause weight loss resistance is often misunderstood as lifestyle failure—but it's really hormonal signaling.     In this powerful conversation, Lisa Fischer sits down with Bria Gadd to unpack the hidden hormonal shifts happening in perimenopause and menopause. They break down why symptoms like heart palpitations, insomnia, brain fog, and sugar cravings often start as early as a woman's 30s—not her 50s.     Bria explains how declining progesterone and fluctuating estrogen act as early warning signals, while Lisa shares her lived experience navigating thyroid dysfunction that conventional medicine initially missed. Together they reveal why standard lab work often fails women and how functional testing like GI-MAP, Dutch hormone testing, and full metabolic blood panels provide a more complete picture.     The conversation also explores estrogen metabolism pathways, gut-liver detox balance, and why hormone replacement therapy—when personalized—can be protective for the brain, heart, and long-term vitality.     👉 Subscribe to the Lisa Fischer Said Podcast, join the newsletter at https://lisafischersaid.com/podcast/, and follow @lisafischersaid for more.     Here's where to find Bria:   Website:  https://www.briatheperiodwhisperer.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BriaThePeriodWhisperer Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bria_period_whisperer/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@bria_period_whisperer Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-period-whisperer-podcast-perimenopause-menopause/id1617315546   Here are more ways you can connect with Lisa:   Website:  https://lisafischersaid.com/ Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/lisafischersaid/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/lisafischersaid/ Health Coaching:  https://lisafischersaid.com/healthcoaching/ Lisa Fischer Said Academy:  https://lisafischersaid.com/academy/     Support our wonderful sponsors:   Ralston Family Farms:  https://www.ralstonfamilyfarms.com/ Akel's Carpet One:  https://www.akelscarpetone.com/ David's Beef:  https://davidsbeef.com/ Marlsgate:  https://marlsgate.com     The Lisa Fischer Said Podcast is produced by https://clantoncreative.com/
