From healing our inner child to the power of female friendships, we cover everything from daily self-care rituals to overcoming isolation. Plus, we swap tips on balancing wellness routines, making friends in a new city, and Fi even spills on her experience with semaglutide. Join us for this heart-to-heart girl chat!

We talk about entrepreneurship and the challenges of being a female owned company. Kristina and Sara share their own journeys, from securing their first round of funding to the rewarding experiences of working together.

Ep. #116: On today’s episode of Pursuit of Wellness, I’m back for another solo in between traveling. Greg and I recently traveled to Arkansas to meet with the team at Walmart to discuss our exciting new Bloom product, and now we’re getting ready to jet off to New York! With travel comes a lot of workout, health, and habit adjustments that I share with you all today. I also have some updates on my H Pylori journey! I answer some of your questions such as updates on fertility and how to be a good support system for a friend going through fertility struggles. Additionally, I touch on managing relationships and business partnerships, and dealing with imposter syndrome. Tune in for practical tips on staying healthy while traveling, and get the latest updates on new Bloom products.

I know Thursdays are usually solo episodes, but this conversation was just too jam-packed with wisdom to keep to ourselves. In part two, we cover even more captivating topics. From strategies for combating acne through dietary tweaks to the transformative potential of ozone therapy on our mitochondria, this episode is an absolute goldmine of insights. We'll also be navigating through discussions on toxin binders, unraveling the mysteries of mold exposure, and glutathione. And of course, we’ll be sharing top-notch skincare secrets, fertility hacks, and the healing power of mastering your circadian rhythm.

We are beyond excited for 100 more. To mark this milestone, we're thrilled to host the legendary Dave Asprey, the Father of Biohacking.

Our conversation was so full of knowledge that we actually had to split it in two. In this first installment, Dave shares his pioneering journey, thoughts on mold toxicity and coffee, and nuances of veganism, keto, and protein-based diets.

Ep. #94 Today on the Pursuit of Wellness, I’m thrilled to have Mimi Bouchard, the innovator behind the Superhuman App.  It’s easy to lose ourselves in the daily grind, but today's enlightening discussion about her unique activations that extend beyond traditional meditation was a revelation. We explored the concept of resilience, not just as bouncing back but as a pathway to gaining strength, wisdom, and empowerment, while shifting away from a victim mentality towards a future of success and abundance. We also examined how an entrepreneurial spirit can harmoniously blend with personal care, and discussed strategies for podcast marketing that might offer transformative opportunities. Joining this conversation with Mimi might just be the stepping stone you need to transform your self-image and embrace a life of abundance.

As I navigate my own path, I aim to pass along valuable insights from experts that could support you on your journey. We'll explore a variety of tests for both you and your partner, discuss lifestyle choices to reconsider, and emphasize the significance of nurturing your general health.

Known for his Carnivore Diet, Paul talks to us about all things nutrition today, including heavy metals in the body, the negative effects of the vegan diet, and how to eat an intentional diet. Finally, we dig into EMFs and how our electronics may be negatively affecting us.

Studies and Links From Simon:

1) Saturated fats versus unsaturated fats

2) High saturated fat rich low carb diet in healthy women markedly raises LDL-C and ApoB in just 4 weeks

3) Plant-based dietary patterns typically lower LDL-C by 0.3 mmol/l which equates to about 20% reduction in risk of atherosclerotic CVD

4) The hadza

5) Red meat does increase LDL-C and ApoB

6)Swapping animal protein for plant protein improved LDL-C levels

7) LDL-C is causal in development of atherosclerotic CVD

8) All cells produce their own cholesterol and the brain does not rely on systemic cholesterol

9) Low cholesterol does not negatively affect sex hormones

10) When optimal protein is achieved (1.6g per Kg), there is no difference in strength/hypertrophy between animal and plant protein

11) Total protein and plant protein are associated with reduced mortality. Swapping animal protein for plant protein is associated with reduced mortality

12) Two clinical studies looking at soy foods, or soy isoflavones, fed to men that measured semen parameters and/or sex hormones:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11352776

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19819436/

13) Meta-analysis of 38 clinical interventions looking at soy foods/isoflavones and sex hormones:

14) Danish dietary guidelines and 3 other evidence-based nutrition guidelines
