Radio Naturopath Episode 298: Happy Spring! More Women's History, Sleep Better During the Pandemic

Today we welcomed in Spring and encouraged people to enjoy it.

It's still Women's History Month, so today we honored a former teacher and researcher in naturopathic medicine, Anna MacIntosh, Ph.D., N.D. There is a research scholarship named for her. She managed to make physiology, nutrition, and biochemistry interesting and fun!

I also honored Mayim Bialik. Ph.D., who has a great podcast, Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, in which she discussed mental health and some neuroscience, which is her background.

The main topic of the day: getting better sleep during the pandemic! Stressors of all kinds are high right now, and that leads to issues that affect sleep. We talk about some healthy habits that can help you to sleep better despite the pandemic.

A little about the circadian cycle: should EVERYONE sleep from 10/11 pm to 7/8 am, or are there genetic variations? Stress can be GOOD for you. Rise to the challenge! Did you know there's a probiotic that may help with weight loss? And a nut? And Biotin can help you in so many ways. It's not a good thing to be without! 

Radio Naturopath Episode 149: Melatonin, Meningitis, Forskolin and Weight Loss, Eat the Peel, More Cold and Flu Prevention

This week was kind of a hodgepodge. We answered some listener's questions and went down roads they took us. Is sublingual melatonin helpful for sleep? How is meningitis spread? If you drop a forskolin capsule in organic apple cider vinegar, will it help you lose weight? Can you eat orange and banana peels, and are they good for you? Turns out, orange peels are great for reducing respiratory inflammation, and bananas are nutritional powerhouses, full of fiber, vitamins B12 and B6, plus potassium and magnesium! Plus once again, we review cold and flu prevention and treatment. Alwyas a great topic this time of year!
