Sponsor: OrganifiI want to share a hack with you that I have been super consistent with over the past few months and that is a product I use from Organifi called Organifi Red. It is 100% organic and contains 13 superfoods in powder form.
I don’t know if you’ll remember this, but during my mold detox, I was consuming pomegranate powder daily for detox support. I love Organifi Red because it has pomegranate powder in it for my daily dose and things like Cordyceps, Rhodiola, cranberry, and ginseng. It’s caffeine-free while being energizing, which is a major plus for most of us.
Every morning I put a scoop in my smoothie or a glass of water and it gives me a dose of herbs, medicinal mushrooms, and a comprehensive berry blend. It’s really yummy, it contains zero crap and it has definitely become a go-to product for me. If you want to try it out, which I think you do, you can go to www.organifi.com/carly and use code “Carly” for 15% off all products.

Tue, 23 Mar 2021 - 1h 06min - 190 - 043: How the Texas Winter Storm Changed How We're Preparing For Disaster
If you lost power, water, and cell phone service, and all gas stations and grocery stores were closed, how long could you survive?
A snowstorm took over Texas in February and shut nearly everything down. Austin and I lost power, heat, and cell phone service for nearly an entire week and our surrounding communities had to rally together to pull through. The winter storm really made us all evaluate how we’re preparing for disaster moving forward and how passionately we feel that everyone should do the same.
We were fortunate enough to have our friends Jake Grosek and Allegra Moet Brantley nearby to brave the storm with and today they are joining Austin and me to talk all about it. We dive into what the storm was like, how we’re preparing for disaster in the future, and our advice for those who don’t have a prep plan.
Enjoy!
Episode Highlights: 6:03 What we thought the snowstorm was going to be like 9:19 Waking up the morning of the storm 14:38 Bursting pipes, helping neighbors, and saving tiny homes 20:54 All of the home damage and repairs Jake and Allegra are dealing with 24:33 Why preparing for disaster is so important 27:55 Giving ourselves a personal preparedness rating 30:18 The most useful tools we had during the storm 36:04 Things we wish we had thought to have handy 44:23 Is the government coming to save you? 51:12 How we’re going to prepare our homes differently 54:02 Disaster gear we’re keeping in our car at all times 55:48 Preparing for disaster when living in a small space 56:45 Checking in with your emotions when things are a little crazy 1:00:11 Our advice for people without a prep planLinks and Resources: Beprepared.com Podcast 013: How To Take Charge of Your Personal Finances: An Interview With The Financial Guru Who Changed My Life Podcast 040: The Beginner’s Guide to Building Wealth Through Real Estate InvestingSponsor: OrganifiI am so excited to share my love for Organifi with you all. You know that quality is incredibly important to me and Organifi is so thoughtful in their ingredients, dosing, and in the products they create and they're now supporting this show.
I am addicted to Organifi Gold which is 100% organic. I mix a scoop with warm coconut milk and collagen before bed to support my blood sugar while sleeping, but also to help me wind down. It reminds me of an Ayurvedic golden milk which is traditionally sipped on as a sleep tonic. Gold has lemon balm, magnesium, Reishi, which are all known to aid sleep, and it also contains warming herbs like turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and tastes so good. I look forward to this concoction every night after dinner.
I also love the Organifi Red powder and add it as an antioxidant boost to my smoothie each morning. If you want to try it out, which I definitely would recommend, you can go to www.organifi.com/carly and use code “Carly” for 15% off all products.

Tue, 12 Jan 2021 - 56min - 180 - 033: Do You Have Parasites? How To Test For and Treat Them with Dr. Jessica Peatross a certified Gerson Practitioner
About 70% of people have parasites living in their body today. Are you one of them?
There’s a misconception that parasites are only found in developing countries or exotic places. The truth is that parasites are everywhere. They are on the food you buy at the grocery store, on your pets, and in the lakes and rivers you splash around in during the summer. Even though they are so prevalent, most people have no idea they are living with them.
Today Dr. Jessica Peatross - board-certified hospitalist turned functional medicine leader - joins us to discuss these stealthy infections. Dr. Jess is a true visionary for the future of healthcare and is committed to uncovering the root causes of the diseases people are living with. Her approach to medicine is both inspiring and encouraging and I know you're going to learn so much from this episode.
Stay tuned as we dive into what exactly parasites are, the most common symptoms that hint at them and protocols for parasite testing and cleansing.
Enjoy!
Episode Highlights: 4:27 Why Dr. Jess quit her job at a conventional hospital 7:02 A startling statistic about how common parasites are 9:08 Where parasites choose to live in your body 10:33 Common symptoms of parasites 12:56 How parasites are harming your body 16:05 What parasites need to thrive in your body 20:02 Conventional vs functional approaches to parasite testing 22:03 When it might be a good time to do a parasite cleanse 26:02 How to prepare for a cleanse 28:15 What a parasite cleanse actually looks like 30:39 The best ways to support your body while cleansing 35:14 How to know when you’re done cleansing 37:53 Supporting your gut wall during a cleanse 40:23 Managing parasites and pregnancy 43:32 Treating worms and parasites in your eyes 44:01 Helping your child work through parasites 45:27 When Epstein Barr can become most prevalent in your body 48:54 What Dr. Jess looks like when testing for Epstein-Barr 50:39 How to address EBV and other relating factors 53:29 Get in contact with Dr. JessLinks and Resources: Dr. Jess’ Website Dr. Jess on Instagram Genova Diagnostics Diagnostics Solutions CellCoreGuest Bio:Dr. Jess is a former hospitalist, internal medicine based medical doctor and a certified Gerson Practitioner. She is an expert in the areas of stealth infections, environmental toxicity, regenerative medicine, ozone, and cannabis. Her passion lies in uncovering the mystery behind the chronic illness, whether that be stealth infections, heavy metals, stress/trauma or other environmental toxicities. There are real, root cause answers for WHY the body might be malfunctioning.
Trained in medicine at the University of Louisville, Dr. Jess experienced what many of her patients experienced: deep anxiety, hormonal imbalances, and adrenal dysfunction. She sought answers to uncover the root cause of disease – something she thought she had learned in medical school.
After working as an M.D. in a hospital for 6 years, Dr. Jess realized that she needed to investigate alternatives to today’s modern medical industry, which “treats every ill with a pill.” She became trained in Gerson Therapy, functional medicine, nutrigenomics, and ozone in her efforts to help her patients with chronic disease solutions. She now is an expert in the field of Lyme, parasites and the health hazards of mold. She is an international keynote speaker with her own former line of Dr Jess products.
Recently Dr. Jess made the choice not to continue her board certification with the AMA as she no longer practices pharmaceutical-based medicine and is able to get to the root cause TO HEAL people without the need for narcotics, immunosuppressants, antidepressants, antibiotics, or steroids.

Having made a name for herself in nutrition, Cazayoux has worked with elite athletes such as Katrin Davidsdottir, Jessica Lucero and Tia Clair-Toomey, just to spotlight a few.
Beyond being a coach to the pros, Cazayoux is a textbook lifelong learner. She completed her Bachelors in Honors Psychology and a Masters in Teaching and is working toward a Masters in Nutrition and Human Performance.
Beyond being an entrepreneur and student of the nutritional sciences, Cazayoux is also an accomplished athlete herself, having competed in the National Pro Grid League, CrossFit Open, and won the Bronze Medal in the 2016 Canadian National Weightlifting Championships. Cazayoux currently lives in Austin, Texas with her loving husband Michael and her Labradoodle, Otis and they’re expecting their first child this year.
Michael Cazayoux: Michael Cazayoux, president of WAG, specializes in helping his team and clients “get out of their own way” by identifying self-limiting beliefs and ineffective behaviors.
In fact, the back-to-back CrossFit World Cup Champion is no stranger to this unique process of self-examination. At the impressionable age of 17, Cazayoux confronted his own limiting beliefs and ineffective behaviors head on, attending drug rehabilitation to overcome his addiction to opiates. It’s this experience that inspired a love of health and fitness on a personal level, which later translated into a passion for coaching and mentoring inside and out of the gym.
Prior to joining WAG, Michael cofounded Brute Strength, an online fitness training company, where he continues to contribute to operations and remains as the podcast host.
Beyond “the office,” the young entrepreneur is most proud of his marriage to Adee Cazayoux, his partner in love, life and fitness. In his free time, Cazayoux enjoys backpacking, snowboarding, woodworking, bow shooting, hunting and creating enormous value in people’s lives — especially his closest family and friends.
Tue, 16 Jun 2020 - 59min - 149 - 003: The Fertility Awareness Method and Why It’s My Natural Birth Control of Choice with Lisa Hendrickson-Jack author of The Fifth Vital Sign
What if you could have unprotected sex the majority of the month, without worry, and without having to be on hormonal birth control?
Sound too good to be true? Well, you might be surprised to find out that more and more women are taking control of their fertility without hormonal or potentially invasive methods of contraception.
The reality is that many women are looking for alternatives to hormonal birth control. And, with the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM), you can take back control of your fertility.
Reproductive health practitioner Lisa Hendrickson-Jack explains what FAM is, who it’s for, how it works, how it’s backed by science, and what it looks like on a daily basis.
We talk about what you really need to know about cervical fluid, how you can use FAM to get pregnant, or prevent pregnancy, and how you can get your partner onboard with FAM.
Fertility awareness can be incredibly empowering, whether you’re trying to get pregnant or not.
I’ve been using the FAM for about 3 years now and love the relationship with my body it’s provided me. I can’t imagine preventing pregnancy any other way.
Enjoy!

With well over a million downloads, Fertility Friday is the #1 source for information about fertility awareness, and menstrual cycle health, connecting women around the world with their cycles and their fertility -- something our education systems have consistently failed to do.
When she's not researching, writing, and interviewing health professionals, you'll find her spending time with her husband and her two sons. To learn more, visit fertilityfriday.com and thefifthvitalsignbook.com.
