EP 258: Q & A with Liz and Deep Dives into Caffeine, Sleep, Glutathione and Fertility

What if you could choose the sex of your baby? There are many existing sex-selection methods out there, but parents have come to find out that these methods are confusing and unreliable. Kathryn Taylor introduces a natural sex-selection approach known as *The Babydust Method,* which is based on the latest scientific evidence. This book details the science behind the method, and explains how you can dramatically increase your chances of conceiving the sex of your choice. This book reveals the flaws in the Shettles method, O+12, egg polarity, pH, and acidic/alkaline/ion diets, and offers a brand new approach involving a combination of precise timing and frequency that has been proven to work based on several published clinical studies. https://www.instagram.com/thebabydustmethod/ Buy The Babydust Method Book https://amzn.to/3J9ZyuF e: Elizabeth@ElizabethJoy.co w: www.ElizabethJoy.co fb: https://www.facebook.com/groups/311455916387591/?ref=bookmarks in: https://www.instagram.com/esandoz/ This podcast is sponsored by Dime Beauty, Green Chef and Lume!

Lisa Moskovitz, RD, is a registered dietitian, the CEO of NY Nutrition Group, a large group nutrition practice, and the author of The Core 3 Healthy Eating Plan, a personalized, science-based guide to finding your healthiest, happiest weight. She received a BS in nutrition from Syracuse University and then went on to complete an intensive dietetic internship at NYPresbyterian Hospital. Since then, she has accumulated over a decade of experience in private practice, providing nutrition workshops and working with the media. Lisa is regularly featured in major publications such as Well + Good, Eat This Not That, and Yahoo Health and is often interviewed for popular news channels such as Fox 5 NY, CBS News, and Inside Edition. Lisa is a diet-neutral dietitian: she believes weight loss diets can be helpful for some and harmful for others. Her approach is not diet-centered, it’s client-centered. She believes that when it comes to nutrition, there is no one-size-fits-all method and that personalization is paramount for sustainability and success.  This episode we are talking about how diet and other factors such as diet culture, eating disorders, nonfat diets, stress and other factors affect fertility. How you should NEVER throw away your yolk!  Lisa also shares how to set our kids up for success with eating.

EP 248: Welcome to Morning Chava

We are wrapping up this year with Dr. Sasha Heinz,Ph.D., MAPP.  She is an academic who went mainstream, using her background as a developmental psychologist to become a mindset coach. Her private coaching practice is grounded in psychological science, and she teaches clients the tools to change their lives for good. An expert in positive psychology and adult development, Dr. Heinz has based her entire career on helping clients make real transformations, giving them the tools to develop their mental fitness by facing challenges and breaking our mind’s default modes for stress, self-criticism, and anxiety. She was one of the first 33 people in history to receive a degree in Positive Psychology.  Dr. Heinz brings a fresh and desperately needed perspective to adult personal development. While all things “self-help” have skyrocketed in popularity in recent years, more than 60% of adults are still not high functioning in terms of their cognitive framework. With the proliferation of personal development experts, it’s more important than ever to center the conversation about growth and development in adulthood around compelling theory and research. Stay tuned for the new brand of the podcast launching Janurary 9th!
