Eat This With Lianne: Maximize Your Meal (Ep 191)

Dopamine and Serotonin!! Bless you! ...these are 2 very interesting brain chemicals that we need to talk about! Why? Not only is science SEXY...but it can help us understand our bodies, emotions, and health that much MORE! Helping us to figure out why we feel the way we feel. Is what we EAT affecting the "Neurotransmitters" in our heads? Is how we THINK also causing 'spikes' in Dopamine and/or Serotonin? And how do those 'spikes' affect how we behave, react, or go about our day?  Lianne asks ALL the really important questions we will ask listeners' favourite Dr "B" on this episode of "Dr. In The House."  Check out the show notes over on liannephillipson.com  Join Us!

After a bit of break...which Lianne will open up about in this episode...We are back with an episode dedicated to the plethora of questions we have received from our LLLs (Lovely Loyal Listeners) recently...ALL ABOUT MAGNESIUM. You might be surprised to know all the different forms of this 'super' supplement and, even more so, just how much it can help our overall health. From sleep to energy production...blood pressure to bones...and even our brains...magnesium could be a real step in the right direction. So, on this episode of Eat This with Lianne, we'll dive into which forms of Magnesium are best for what situation or symptom? How does it help? How much should you take? And so much MORE! Join us!

It's that TIME!  Time to invite our resident genius, information connoisseur, medical mind masseuse... Dr "B" back on the show to answer your questions. From Irritable Bowel Syndrome to PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and so much more...we invite Dr Davis Brockenshire on because of his experience, knowledge, his approach to medicine that always puts the patient first. If you haven't already fallen in love with his wit and wisdom, listen up and you soon will! Join us! 

When was the last time you bought a pair of shoes? These days, with online shopping, we are drowning in a sea of footwear choices. Some offer direct links to better health, while others only function is to look good. Outside of the "normal names" we are all used to seeing...how does one figure out just how comfortable a shoe really is? With such vast improvements in technology when it comes to materials and functionality...are the 'old' choices really the best? or are there better fish swimming in this 'sea of souls' we should try on for size? On this episode of Eat This with Lianne, we invited the Co-Founder of the Barefoot Shoe Company to talk about the new trend towards BAREFOOT or MINIMALIST shoes!  Do they truly offer health benefits like better posture and balance?  Let's find out! Join us.

I have been interviewed several times on the seemingly magic pill effects of the drug Ozempic for weight loss. NOT SO FAST...it does come with its fair share of side effects and health issues. It does mimic insulin production and suppress appetite and more. On this episode of Eat This with Lianne, we'll delve further into the over consumption of over processed foods and the growing obesity issues with 5 specific changes or choices we all can make...instead of leaning on a quick chemical fix. Join us!

With so much information floating around us, through the internet and social media platforms...how does one decipher what's real? what's wrong? what's a fad? or worse...what's dangerous?  It's not like we're dealing with our health and well-being here? ...wait?! Hence why we have gathered up some of your concerns and questions for our own resident "smarty pants" and Functional Medical Expert...highly educated...and highly respected in his field...and ours.  Join us as we welcome back Dr. Davis Brockenshire, or more affectionately known...Dr "B" as he answers those questions, dispels some of the the misinformation out there, and helps us all build towards felling better. 

After recently going through her own minor surgery procedure, Lianne realized what a process it is and the fact there are so many supportive ways of getting through it – both physically and mentally. From the supplements you take to the food you eat, every little decision you make can really make a difference in how you bounce back from what can be a very draining situation. And that drain will affect everything from your mental status to your physical abilities...to the loved ones around you.  On this episode of Eat This with Lianne, we'll discuss pre- and post-surgery and, hopefully, a whole lot of helpful conversation. Join us! Nutritional Support and Supplements Post-surgery, keep these supplements handy: Bio Boost: A probiotic to support your gut microbiome and immunity. Alka C: Helps with healing and constipation (from meds) and contains zinc for wound healing and immunity. NAC: Helps with detoxification. Collagen Liquid Enhanced and Skin Boost superfood powder: For internal and external skin repair. Digestive enzymes and Bio A Curcumin: To aid digestion and support as an anti-inflammatory. Sunshine D3+K2: Vitamin D3 has been shown to be useful for better surgical outcomes and Arnica Montana 30C: To manage inflammation and pain.    

In our continuing quest to understand health at a deeper level and think outside the boundaries of FOOD—while we believe food is the foundation of good health—there is a limit. Think of it as the combination, or synergy, of good food choices and other incredible ideas and ways to think about health, as The Human Garage does.  About eight months ago, Lianne started following The Human Garage on social media and committed to trying some of their fascial maneuvers to better understand her body and, in turn, better health.  On this episode of Eat This with Lianne, we have invited the co-founder of The Human Garage, Garry Lineham, to explain the "F" is fascia and how this has the potential to impact your overall health and lifestyle moving forward. Join us!

After several recent compliments of Lianne's salads being the "best ever"! What makes them so good? We believe its the EXTRAS. The extra sprinkle here or there that takes a normal salad to a 'super nutritious' side and start to a nutrient packed meal. Amping up your meal with amazing flavour, we are maximizing the nutrients on your plate and what goes into our bodies! On this episode of Eat This with Lianne, we focus on "maximizing" your meal...throwing in extra greens...nutrients...you name it. Not only does it make things taste better but it improves our fibre intake and in turn our stomachs micro-biome.

After going to see her local medical doctor the other day (a RARE occurrence indeed), Lianne came away with the realization of the many restrictions of our Canadian medical system, the restrictions levied on our medical professionals, making it difficult to get all the answers you seek about your overall health.  Over the past few weeks, we have received many questions from our lovely, loyal listeners about optimizing health and well-being, hair loss, rosacea, AND SO MUCH MORE! On this episode of Eat This with Lianne, we have invited our favourite Functional Medicine Expert back to help us, help you... to answer your questions from the mind of a brilliant man with a 'patient-first' mentality!
