EAT THIS with Lianne

After a bit of break...which Lianne will open up about in this episode...We are back with an episode dedicated to the plethora of questions we have received from our LLLs (Lovely Loyal Listeners) recently...ALL ABOUT MAGNESIUM. You might be surprised to know all the different forms of this 'super' supplement and, even more so, just how much it can help our overall health. From sleep to energy production...blood pressure to bones...and even our brains...magnesium could be a real step in the right direction. So, on this episode of Eat This with Lianne, we'll dive into which forms of Magnesium are best for what situation or symptom? How does it help? How much should you take? And so much MORE!

When was the last time you bought a pair of shoes?

These days, with online shopping, we are drowning in a sea of footwear choices. Some offer direct links to better health, while others only function is to look good. Outside of the "normal names" we are all used to seeing...how does one figure out just how comfortable a shoe really is? With such vast improvements in technology when it comes to materials and functionality...are the 'old' choices really the best? or are there better fish swimming in this 'sea of souls' we should try on for size?

On this episode of Eat This with Lianne, we invited the Co-Founder of the Barefoot Shoe Company to talk about the new trend towards BAREFOOT or MINIMALIST shoes!  Do they truly offer health benefits like better posture and balance? 

Let's find out! Join us.

I have been interviewed several times on the seemingly magic pill effects of the drug Ozempic for weight loss. NOT SO FAST...it does come with its fair share of side effects and health issues. It does mimic insulin production and suppress appetite and more.

On this episode of Eat This with Lianne, we'll delve further into the over consumption of over processed foods and the growing obesity issues with 5 specific changes or choices we all can make...instead of leaning on a quick chemical fix.

Join us!

With so much information floating around us, through the internet and social media platforms...how does one decipher what's real? what's wrong? what's a fad? or worse...what's dangerous? 

It's not like we're dealing with our health and well-being here? ...wait?!

Hence why we have gathered up some of your concerns and questions for our own resident "smarty pants" and Functional Medical Expert...highly educated...and highly respected in his field...and ours. 

Join us as we welcome back Dr. Davis Brockenshire, or more affectionately known...Dr "B" as he answers those questions, dispels some of the the misinformation out there, and helps us all build towards felling better. 

After recently going through her own minor surgery procedure, Lianne realized what a process it is and the fact there are so many supportive ways of getting through it – both physically and mentally.

From the supplements you take to the food you eat, every little decision you make can really make a difference in how you bounce back from what can be a very draining situation. And that drain will affect everything from your mental status to your physical abilities...to the loved ones around you. 

On this episode of Eat This with Lianne, we'll discuss pre- and post-surgery and, hopefully, a whole lot of helpful conversation.

Join us!

Nutritional Support and Supplements

Post-surgery, keep these supplements handy:

In our continuing quest to understand health at a deeper level and think outside the boundaries of FOOD—while we believe food is the foundation of good health—there is a limit. Think of it as the combination, or synergy, of good food choices and other incredible ideas and ways to think about health, as The Human Garagedoes. 

About eight months ago, Lianne started following The Human Garage on social media and committed to trying some of their fascial maneuvers to better understand her body and, in turn, better health. 

On this episode of Eat This with Lianne, we have invited the co-founder of The Human Garage, Garry Lineham, to explain the "F" is fasciaand how this has the potential to impact your overall health and lifestyle moving forward.

After several recent compliments of Lianne's salads being the "best ever"! What makes them so good? We believe its the EXTRAS. The extra sprinkle here or there that takes a normal salad to a 'super nutritious' side and start to a nutrient packed meal. Amping up your meal with amazing flavour, we are maximizing the nutrients on your plate and what goes into our bodies!

On this episode of Eat This with Lianne, we focus on "maximizing" your meal...throwing in extra greens...nutrients...you name it. Not only does it make things taste better but it improves our fibre intake and in turn our stomachs micro-biome.

After going to see her local medical doctor the other day (a RARE occurrence indeed), Lianne came away with the realization of the many restrictions of our Canadian medical system, the restrictions levied on our medical professionals, making it difficult to get all the answers you seek about your overall health. 

Over the past few weeks, we have received many questions from our lovely, loyal listeners about optimizing health and well-being, hair loss, rosacea, AND SO MUCH MORE!

On this episode of Eat This with Lianne, we have invited our favourite Functional Medicine Expert back to help us, help you... to answer your questions from the mind of a brilliant man with a 'patient-first' mentality!

Hydrogen Enriched Water?!! H2O...H2O...H??? H3O...??? Isn't there already Hydrogen in water? Yes, but this water and its benefits as an antioxidant are different. Is it better? Does it truly help you and your body the way the data states? And most importantly...how does it taste? 

We've invited Canada's own "Waterboy" on the show to tell his story and help us delve deep into this world of hydrogen-enriched water. So, before you turn on the hose and grab a sip...listen in, and let's learn together.

Hello 20-24...its great to meet you!

A new year for opportunity, possibility...with everything INCLUDING your health! This year we want to be more intentional. A recent post first theres an intention...then there's a behaviour...then, it becomes a habit...then, a practice...then second nature...then, it's simply WHO YOU ARE.

So let's talk 'INTENTIONS". How will you be intentional? Will those intentions be in how you feed your body? How you treat your body? How you treat you mental health? There are so many aspects to our lives we could go in many directions. For now, lets just choose ONE. One new step...one new mouthful...

Join us and lets talk about it!

As we round out 2023, looking back we reflect on what was talked about, what we learned, and what moved the needle to better health! As we approach 200 episodes, theres a tonne of information, suggestions, tricks, tips, and expert advice to sort through...its never a bad idea to stop and filter through some of our favourite moments, whether they be funny, emotional, or just full of great information.

So, on this episode of Eat This with Lianne, join us as we look back at some highlights full of healthy habits, bell laughs and even a few tears!

If your think of a 'Hallmark' card, it sets us up to think the holidays are this perfect picture of peace, love, and joy! and YES, those things are there...but may be buried beneath the CHAOS and gluttony of frenzied family get togethers, over-indulgent office parties, and so much more. The holidays can be a stressful and bloated mess! BUT they don't have to be. 

Lets all take a deep breath, and join the conversation. On this weeks episode of Eat This with Lianne, we'll talk our way through ideas and options to help bury the bloat and ease the stress of this time of year by the food we eat, and the preperations and choices we make before, during, and after the first stocking is hung!

These days, it takes little more than a good WiFi connection to be able to call oneself an "expert" in just about anything. With the deluge of social media platforms and performers, it's hard to figure out and filter through the good, the bad, and the ugly...

The world of healthy choices in food, exercise, and supplements is not immune to this phenomenon of online 'experts'...so it is important to do your homework when it comes to figuring out who is genuinely backing their information with good hard science and who is just looking for 'likes' to pad their wallets.

It's possible you take one or more supplements every day. We have talked at length, study after study, about all kinds of Natural Health Products or NHPs right here about their effectiveness in combination with good food and an overall healthy lifestyle. In Canada, NHPs are defined as naturally occurring substances used to restore or maintain good health. Whether it's capsules, creams, solutions, ointments, tinctures, or drops... there are many choices out there. It's a heavily regulated world to be sure if they're on the shelf, they're all safe, and they work.

Health Canada and the government want to change our natural health products and create legislation and bills that treat these NHPs like pharmaceutical drugs, and that's not what we want. On this episode of Eat This with Lianne, we invited a lawyer, ShawnBuckley, President, NHPPA.org, Constitutional Lawyer, who has been battling on the front lines of these initiatives to help us all understand what is going on behind the scenes and how your natural health products are at risk, and what you can do about it.

You asked for it…more about vitamin and nutrition DEFICIENCIES! Our bodies always tell us what we need...but sometimes, we don’t listen.

On this weeks episode of Eat This With Lianne, we continue to decipher those clues….cracked hair and nails, bleeding gums, or maybe, bad eyesight!? We’ll talk about them all and more.

Guess what?! there’s more to be said on “Deficiencies”, specifically deficiencies in your mid-section, your gut!

From burning, to bloating, to belches, too bumps… in this episode on Eat This with Lianne, we’ll talk all about your belly because, believe it or not, nutritional deficiencies are the culprit for ALL of them!

You wake up…in a good mood, ready to take on the day BUT something feels….off. Your body is reminding you that it’s not all tip top inside.

Deficiencies! Your body is deficient of something and it tells you by developing uncomfortable symptoms like warts, cracked lips, corners of the mouth and feet, and mouth ulcers (canker sores).

On this episode of Eat This with Lianne, signs and symptoms of vitamin deficiencies! So let’s talk about what to do, what to eat to get rid of them!

The ‘ebb and flow’ of this summer…technically, the last 6 months… has likely had very little structure for you and your family. Your kids get up later, meals may have turned into a more ‘grazing’ affair…sound familiar?

Now, as we head into fall, and with school coming back (in some form), it will force us back into some sort of routine.

This week on the Eat This with Lianne Podcast, we welcome family therapist, TV personality, author, and parenting expert Alyson Schafer. She will help us sift through the many questions and fears we, as parents, have over how to find our new rhythm.

When you hit the grocery store, are your eyes drawn to the brightly coloured packaging? Do the words “Gluten FREE” or “Low in Sodium” splashed all over the cover draw your interest…your attention???

…And how much do you trust those claims?

On this episode of Eat This with Lianne, we’ll explore those questions and ideas. Lianne will also be joined by Dana McCauley, a Canadian Chef, a food writer, and food trend tracker. Dana will add her vast knowledge and perspective to the question, “what do hungry people want?”

About 12 years ago, a registered nutritionist appeared on a local breakfast TV show whipping up some home-made baby food. Now years later, regular appearances on radio and television, a supplement line, a book deal and more….here we are.

This week on Eat This with Lianne, we talk about humble beginnings and we lighten the mood with a fun “Q and A” about us.

Enjoy!

Overweight? Stout? Pudgy? If Lianne had a dollar for every time someone said, “I know i need to lose weight…but….”

….she would be a thousand-aire…

"I’m hormonal…I’m on pain medication…my thyroid is acting up…"

On this episode, we look into what Lianne believe’s is the true root of excess weight, and more important, what can we do about it.

Think about the last meal you ate? How many vegetables were on your plate? And how many miles did those veggies have to travel to get there?

Shopping “Locally” is not a new thing…but shopping “Seasonally” might be….

This week on the podcast, we talk about shopping local and shopping throughout the 4 seasons and how the two ideas may or may not affect you….physically and mentally.

Have you ever said, “It’s 5 o’clock somewhere…” as you tip yourself a cold beer or a generous glass of wine?

This week on EAT THIS with Lianne, we leave the virtues of whether we should or should not OUT of the conversation.

It’s all about what happens to that sinful, yet satisfying sip of alcohol as it makes its way through our bodies.

Join us as we discuss this and more with special guest Dr. Davis Brockenshire (Dr. B) of Innovations Health Solutions in Plymouth, Michigan.

You walk past the bedroom mirror and catch a glimpse of your body out of the corner of your eye….instead of thinking “hey there good looking”…we tend to judge…to allow that toxic self-talk to take over, leading to depression, or worse…

How you feel about your body, about yourself…can be a real battle. This week, we battle with the idea of Body Image. And speak with 2 special guest; Certified Intuitive Eating Councillor and Coach, Tara Whitney, and Wine Specialist and Radio Producer, Andre Proulx.

Diet Culture is all about weight loss. A rigid belief system on a lack of eating…nourishment…and maybe a lack of happiness….

So, this week we feel our way around the concept of “Intuitive Eating”. Lianne is joined by Tara Whitney, a certified Intuitive Eating Councillor and Coach…to talk about listening  to your internal wisdom, and learning how to respect and nourish your body…without the diet!!

Sometimes you hear something that “clicks” with you. Suddenly you feel informed…confident.

So, on this weeks podcast we’ll touch on a buffet of “Usefull Information” and “Useful Foods”…

Lianne’s goal is to share information and knowledge that helps to improve your life... So, let’s sit back, listen in…and learn something new and extremely useful!!

This week, it’s going to be a fun ride…a different kind of self care called “laughter”.

Don’t miss out on the chance to learn something...the best way we know how; the fun way!

Mindful Eating… what does that mean exactly? What does it mean to be “present” …in mind and body…while you eat?!

In part 2 of our self care theme…we’ll talk about concrete strategies that you can put into practice by the end of this episode. So, Let’s slow down and take care of ourselves as we navigate ideas like meditative eating. Believe or not, our mind and tummy’s have more in common than you might think. Let’s learn together.

Is eating really a form of SELF CARE?! How do we use food to slow down and appreciate what we have?

There’s a lot to talk about when it comes to the topic of SELF CARE…so, we’re joined by Master Mood Coach and Spiritual Councillor, Gayle Murray, to talk tactics in healing and wellness. Lianne even opens up about her own struggle. Join us!

Dinner! The biggest “Mac Daddy” meal of the day….correct?! Maybe you think it should be? BUT is that the right way to think about it?

So many questions…and thanks to this podcast on Dinner REHAB….a few answers! A few ideas! and even a few laughs!

Join Lianne as she shares some dinner ideas from her social media community, and shares some of her own thoughts and favourites.

Breakfast! The MOST IMPORTANT meal of the day! Right! …right?!

Some folks love it…and some just don’t. Is it because it takes effort? Or is it a timing thing?

In this episode, Lianne reaches out to her EAT THIS community to ask how you do the first meal of the day? We’ll talk food ideas, healthy choices, and de-bunk some of those breakfast myths. Join us….

Lunch!!! …that dreaded midday meal that disrupts the flow of work, play, and focus…

Sometimes lunch never happens, or maybe it's a half-hearted attempt at nourishment…

Either way, we’re starting to find a new sense of normalcy, so what does your lunch look like these days!? Join Lianne, and some of her social media friends and listeners, for a full episode of ideas, fun and a heaping helping of LUNCH REHAB!

Do you ever wake up excited when you’ve slept through the night? Or maybe you feel like a champ on only 4 hours of sleep…Some people adhere to the philosophy, “I can sleep when i’m dead”.

They might want to rethink that option. Next to eating the right foods, SLEEP is the best way to live a long, and healthy life.

On this episode…Lianne talks about how sleep is the true path to the fountain of youth, and speaks with sleep expert Alanna McGinn about ways to improve your nightly trip to dream land.

How are you handling the “Quarantine 15”?? Do you know what it is? On this episode of Eat This with Lianne, she’ll explain what the Quarantine 15 is, how it may be effecting you, and more importantly, how you can deal with it.

You’ve shopped….stood in line to get in the store…maybe you’ve tried online ordering. No matter how you got your food, now the trick is what to do with it so you don’t end up throwing half of it out because its gone bad before you can eat it!

On this week’s episode…

Let’s talk about making the most of your fresh fruits and vegetables so they don’t go bad. From storage to using up some of that produce teetering on the edge of fresh, you may only need to make a few good choices!

There’s never been a more important time to AMP UP your immune system...do what’s necessary to “bulletproof your immunity”.

On this episode of Eat This with Lianne, we’ll discuss the food, the supplements, the mental checks necessary to help us all go from powerless…to tapping into our inner super powers! So lets line up your immune army and let’s EAT THIS.

We are in an uncertain, intense time…a time of fear and worry. With all the changes as we discover how to cope with our new ‘normal’, a number of emotions come with it; loneliness, sadness, anger, anxiety, aggression, isolation…and fear.

On this episode, we talk about ways to navigate these emotions through movement and diet.

Have you been on an early morning flight and the person behind you is either kneeing the back of your seat or messing with their tray table, and all you want to do is turn around and scream at ‘em or better yet, smack ‘em upside the head? Or you’re walking down the street and someone is in front of you hogging the sidewalk and you’d like for a lightning bolt to knock ‘em down so you can get past? Seen any road rage lately… well, you wouldn’t be wrong to chalk any of this up to the beautiful marriage of the words HUNGRY and ANGRY…otherwise known as HANGRY!  

I bet you could blame a lot of your short, irritated and frazzled behavior on a lack of food if you thought about how long ago it was since you put food in your mouth…

This week’s EAT THIS with Lianne... all about “HANGER”.

In this episode,

In light of the recent health situation in Canada and around the world, we are joined by Functional Medical Expert, Dr Davis Brockenshire (Dr B) to help better understand the Corona Virus and hopefully alleviate some fears.

What can be as thin as a millimeter and can bleed, ooze, burn, tear, swell, wrinkle, hurt, itch, sag, stretch, scar, regenerate, heal, blister, and peel? Yep, it’s your skin. 

Is there some magical elixir that can make it all better? Turn back the clock to earlier days, or get rid of your acne, rosacea, and dark circles under your eyes, heal your scars or stretch marks…. 

… it all starts with food. 

Today, on EAT THIS from the scarred to the acne'd, and the wrinkled, let’s talk about skin.

All fats are bad for you…Milk makes your bones strong…You must eat meat for protein…margarine is better than butter…

In episode 7, I did a deep dive into all about sugar, why we LOVE it, why we crave it and why you’d want to do better. This week, I thought we’d hear from someone who has been living a sugar-free lifestyle for 8 YEARS!!

Is he crazy, has he lost his mind? Let’s find out. 

Barry Friedman is a 4-time World Juggling Champion, who has appeared on over 200 local, national, and international television shows including the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and Jay Leno, the Presidential Command Performance on NBC, and a Showtime Comedy Special.

He now speaks and writes extensively about something that has had a profound impact on his life… A SUGAR-FREE DIET.

Are you an addicted, got to have it kinda person when it comes to sugary and sweet foods? Do you look at others who bypass the chocolates, donuts, and cakes wondering how on earth they don’t stop and stuff their face, because that’s just what you want to do. As humans, don’t we have this innate need for sugar?

In This episode…we discuss SUGAR.How there is a disconnect between what the brain knows and what your body tells you it wants! 

Is your job throwing more balls at you can juggle? Are you feeling the burn of a family schedule that makes you run from one thing to the next? You may not be able to change the workload…You may not be able to change everything you feel is best for your family…but you can choose how you navigate it all and of course what you put onto your fork and into your mouth to get you through it all.

In this episode…We’re joined by successful business woman, author and founder of Red Lily Life.com, Kerrie Lee Brown. We’re going to learn what happens when you push too far, the consequences and how you can avoid the effects of stress - and survive.

You’ve heard it said by me and other health experts..."...eat more fruits and vegetables, every day..." Yes, it's easier to grab and go…a bagel, muffin, croissant, or a coffee to give you a spring in your step. But it’s like pumping normal gas in a Ferrari. It’ll go but performance, speed and function won’t hit its full potential. 

In this episode, my goal is NOT to turn you into a vegetarian or vegan, it’s to get you to eat more fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans, legumes, nuts, and seeds - aka PLANTS.

In the age of Instagram, the next big food fad or trend might be determined more by the way it looks rather than the way it tastes. Over the years, food fads have often been influenced by what’s happening in the world around us.

In this episode, Lianne is joined by reluctant ‘foodie’ and radio host Jerry Agar (Newstalk 1010, Toronto) to look at and chat about food trends from the past and present, to see where they came from, why they became popular, and where they might be going.
