001: Mindful Moments: Simple Practices for Cultivating Calm, Contentment and Care

“The only way you can balance the person is to find out what their balance or imbalance is and then work to correct it.” —Dr. Michael Biamonte

True optimization is a journey requiring an open mind, commitment to learning, and willingness to look beyond surface answers toward more complete wellness. When prevention and the whole person are priorities, much can be gained without dependence on the conventional system and its one-size-fits-all remedies. 

This week’s episode explores cutting-edge approaches to thyroid and diabetes care beyond traditional medical models with renowned clinical nutritionist, Dr. Michael Biamonte. Dr. Biamonte is the founder of the Biamonte Center for Clinical Nutrition and has over 30 years of experience as a practitioner. He is dedicated to improving patient health through a holistic, evidence-based approach to clinical nutrition focused on balancing the whole person.

Tune in as Dr. Michael Biamonte reveals how mineral ratios and additional testing provide deeper insights into thyroid function compared to bloodwork alone. Ann and Dr. Biamonte also discuss the importance of organic non-GMO diets, testing before supplementing, addressing root imbalances rather than just symptoms, how certain supplements can interact, and ways to support health naturally through functional and integrative approaches.

Excess sugar consumption can have negative health effects by causing blood sugar spikes and insulin surges over time. However, sneaky food manufacturers often hide added sugars under alternative names, making it difficult for consumers to monitor their intake. Even foods marketed as "healthy" are frequently loaded with hidden sugars. Therefore, raising awareness about hidden sugars in common foods is important for empowering informed choices.

In this episode, Ann shares an insightful article that uncovers the hidden sugars lurking in many supposedly "healthy" foods. The article explores marketing tricks used by the multi-billion dollar health industry to deceive consumers, the "healthy" foods highest in hidden sugars, how to identify alternative names for sugar on labels, and the importance of reading ingredient lists carefully.

“Your body's still making a ton [of stem cells]. But it's just using less and less of what it's making. And when you elevate the copper peptide in your body, your body starts using more, and what better way to do it, than about the price of a cup of joe!” —Michael Villines

This week, Ann welcomes Michael Villines on the show to share insights into stem cells and their role in overall health and anti-aging.

“Everybody is the master of their own body...Our physical reality is endless wisdom, to create a mind, a brain, a body, that functions so incredibly. In it, we don't interfere in the function of our body. It keeps on every night, millions and millions, billions of cells are being replaced by new cells. Now, that alone is genial — Etienne Peirsman

One of the most extraordinary machines in the world is the human body. How a single cell to its trillion works inside our body is beyond imagination. From our mind to our body's function is undeniably incredible! But more wonders are unleashed with CranioSacral Therapy!

Etienne Peirsman is one of the most respected CranioSacral teachers worldwide and founder of Peirsman CranioSacral. Craniosacral therapy claims to use a gentle touch manipulating the joints in the cranium and aiming to enhance the body's own healing capabilities. Moreover, it releases one's oxytocin and thus being relieved from stress and negativities.

 Be fascinated as Ann and Etienne talk about Cranio therapy and how it stimulates the human body's ability to heal itself. Etienne shares insights into how our births can be made less traumatic by avoiding cutting the umbilical cord prematurely, the concept of "liquid electricity", and how craniosacral therapy works by stimulating oxytocin release through conscious touch. Tune in and learn about intuitive abilities, spirituality without religion, and opening to our infinite potential.
