We are bombarded with *extra* waste from things like air pollution and pesticides that add an extra burden on your liver. That’s where herbs come in! Herbs like Milk Thistle and Oregon Grape Root in our Liver Juice formula work to support the livers detoxification pathways. ✨ Click here to shop Liver Juice: https://www.organicolivia.com/products/liver-juice </video> <video> Can Weight Loss & Body Positivity Coexist ft. Michelle Shapiro Description: This week's episode is with none other than the amazing Michelle Shapiro! In this insightful conversation, Michelle, a Holistic RD and self-proclaimed "Queen of the Middle Ground," shares her expertise after years of working with over a thousand clients. Michelle's approach to functional nutrition involves understanding the unique story of each individual, their environment, and the timeline that led them to their current situation. By identifying the root causes, she aims to heal issues rather than just managing them superficially. For instance, there's a big difference between avoiding certain foods for acid reflux versus understanding the deeper reasons behind the issue. Here's the Juice: - Michelle's background as a Registered Dietitian and Certified Functional Nutrition and Lifestyle Practitioner - The importance of understanding the unique story and timeline of each individual in functional nutrition - The personal patterns and internal voices associated with binge eating - Exploring root causes of health issues instead of just managing symptoms - Addressing hot topics like gut issues (bloating, acid reflux) with a nuanced approach - How biological and genetic factors play a role in the functional approach - Debunking misconceptions about food avoidance and restrictive diets Connect with Michelle online: https://michelleshapirord.com/private-practice Follow Michelle: https://www.instagram.com/michelleshapirord/ Connect with Olivia: https://www.instagram.com/organic_olivia/ Shop herbal formulas: https://www.organicolivia.com/ </video> <video> Nature's Role In Our Mental Health ft. Jaskrit Bhalla Description: Today’s guest, Jaskrit Bhalla, is a permaculture designer, California Naturalist, and student of herbal medicine. At such a young age, her work is making a major impact on the environment and her local community. Jaskrit has a way of inspiring those around her to take action wherever they can whether it’s composting at home, making broth with food scraps, or reducing waste in tiny ways. I think you're going to find this episode super inspiring and actionable! Here's the juice: - how to use herbal medicine to replenish your mineral stores after being on psycho-pharmaceuticals - ways you can incorporate healing foods, kitchen medicine, and herbs into your daily routine - what “permaculture” is, and what “healthy soil” means - how we’ve gotten so far away from what our land needs - why local, decentralized food systems are crucial - and how can we do our part in our own backyard, even in urban environments, to bring diversity back to the soil and ecosystem She is so wise and poetic when it comes to both how she tells her story and how she lives her life… you’re going to want to compost and go outside to touch plants immediately after listening to this episode!

The Lactobacillus genus of bacteria particularly works to help your body produce the right amount of lactic acid. ✨ Lactic Acid is responsible for a number of things when it comes to your skin including stimulating cell renewal and helping the skin retain its moisture to keep you glowing. And while many skincare products contain lactic acid, one of the best ways to support your body’s intrinsic production of lactic acid is through probiotics. Our Probiotic formula not only helps you digest your food better so that you feel less bloated but also supports glowing skin! 😊 Click to shop: https://www.organicolivia.com/products/not-your-average-probiotic </video> <video> Are You Addicted To Dopamine? with Dr. Anna Lembke Description: Today's guest, Dr. Anna Lembke, explains exactly how to reset your brain's reward system so that you can feel happy again — without reaching for something external. Dr. Lembke is a psychiatrist, author, and Chief of the Addiction Medicine Clinic at Stanford University. This incredible woman changed my life and I believe she is the antidote our world needs as we navigate never-ending stimuli from tech, social media, and dopamine-releasing pleasures. Here's the juice: - your brain has pain and pleasure "scales"– any tip towards pleasure has an equal cost toward pain - addiction exists on a spectrum and we’re all affected by it; it’s so much broader than the extremes of alcoholism or drug addiction - Anyone can get addicted to ANYTHING and we don’t necessarily need to have a history of trauma or mental health obstacles to be impacted by addiction - there are proven benefits to doing a “dopamine fast” to reset your brain’s reward system - why delaying gratification in little ways, such as not checking your phone as soon as you wake up in the morning, leads to better outcomes of success in humans in life Links from the ep: - Take 10% off Adrenal Recovery and/or Focus Juice with code DOPAMINE10 on organicolivia.com - Get Dr. Lembke's book, Dopamine Nation, on her site annalembke.com Connect with Dr. Lembke: https://www.annalembke.com/ Connect with Olivia: https://www.instagram.com/organic_olivia/ Shop herbal formulas: https://www.organicolivia.com/ Follow: https://www.instagram.com/shoporganicolivia/ </video> <video> How To Live A Low Tox Life with Dr. Vivian Chen Description: We're back with another exciting episode of "What's the Juice?"!

In today’s episode, she really breaks down why muscle is SO much more than just fitness or looking good. In this episode, we cover: ✔️ How muscle improves metabolic markers related to insulin resistance, diabetes, and PCOS ✔️ Why Alzheimer’s starts 20+ years before it actually presents a symptom picture ✔️ How much protein you should be eating ✔️ What you can start doing TODAY to become healthier, sharper, and hormonally optimized as you age ✔️ And so much more… This episode on Libsyn: https://whatsthejuice.libsyn.com/the-doctor-that-changed-my-life-preventing-cognitive-dec[…]a-high-protein-diet-for-every-age-with-dr-gabrielle-lyon A full blog post on this episode: https://blog.organicolivia.com/podcast/obesity-vs-muscle-why-we-got-it-wrong-why-muscle-[…]cience-behind-eating-more-protein-with-dr-gabrielle-lyon/ Follow us on social media: https://www.instagram.com/shoporganicolivia/ </video> <video> A TCM APPROACH TO HAIR LOSS 👀 Description: In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) it is said that the hair is actually an extension of the blood.🩸 So healthy blood flow and quality leads to healthier hair follicles, skin, and nails. Some symptoms of blood deficiency include brittle hair and nails and dry skin. From a lifestyle perspective, you can support blood deficiency by reducing your stress, eating high-quality protein sources, cooked foods, and dark leafy greens. 👉🏼 You can also use the support of blood-building herbs like the ones found in our Mane Magic formula.

Dr. William Li Description: In this juicy episode of What's the Juice, I'm sitting down with Dr. William Li, author of "Eat to Beat Disease," to challenge common perceptions of body fat and explore practical strategies for maintaining a healthy balance. Here are the key takeaways: - Essential role of body fat: Fat cells act as a fuel tank during development, storing energy for future use. - Consequences of overeating: Excessive calorie intake leads to fat accumulation, metabolic issues, and inflammation. - Listening to your body: Pay attention to hunger and fullness cues to avoid overeating. - Quality of food matters: Choose nutritious options to fuel your body effectively. - Understanding visceral fat: Excess visceral fat surrounding organs can impact health negatively. - Practical strategies: Avoid late-night snacking and incorporate fasting periods for effective fat-burning. - Hormonal imbalances: Balancing hormones through food choices and lifestyle practices is essential.

Our tongues have bitter taste receptors that trigger your body to produce adequate stomach acid and digestive enzymes…. Kind of like a wake-up call that would sound something like this: “Hello, food is coming… get ready!” If you struggle with feelings of indigestion with certain meals, gas, or bloating, then bitters are for you. They truly make a notable difference with just a few simple sprays! Shop Digestive Juice here: https://www.organicolivia.com/products/digestive-juice </video>
