Description
Dr. Ann Shippy is a powerhouse on a very important mission to help people across the world live their healthiest lives using cutting-edge science, really specific research, and genetic information to treat the root causes of disease. She left engineering to attend the University of Texas medical school and is now board-certified in internal medicine and a certified functional medicine physician with a practice in Austin, Texas. If you live there, I cannot recommend her highly enough.
While there are so many topics I would love to talk to Dr. Ann about, today we’re focusing on her personal story that got her into medicine in the first place. Ann noticed a significant decline in health despite a healthy lifestyle, and after much trial and tribulation traced it back to mold in her home. Now that she’s better, we go really deep into her hard-won expertise on mold exposure, mycotoxins, and what you can do if you suspect mold problems in your home.

21: The Problem with Sitting: A Solution: Chad and Brenda Walding join me on today’s podcast to explain how sitting can be one of the most harmful things you do each day. You’ve probably seen the headlines… “Sitting is the New Smoking” “7 Ways Sitting Will Kill You” “Sitting is Taking Years Off Your Life” …and you may have hoped it was media hype. Sitting is Worse Than Donuts… It isn’t hype. More and more studies have come out proving how bad sitting is EVEN if you work out regularly.

Alpa Patel (PhD), an epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society, tracked the health of 123,000 Americans between 1992 and 2006.

The death rate for women who sat for more than six hours a day was about 40 perc by The Wellness Mama Podcast
