Do you feel like stress has become your norm?  Or that you are way too busy but can't see how to reduce your load?  Do you have trouble letting go of stressful events, and end up in constant anxiety?

Mira and Jayson Calton are super passionate and knowledgable about micronutrients, and my podcast recording with them is a taste of the fun and adventure they've created in their lives. Mira was a busy, super thin publicist in New York City, living the dream, except for increasing, debilitating pain.  She was diagnosed with advanced osteoporosis, and advised to move home with her family and recuperate.   In her search to figure out her osteoporosis, she met Jayson Calton, a clinical nutritionist who did not specialize in osteoporosis,  but agreed to dive into this project with Mira.  Her osteoporosis became completely reversed, and meanwhile she and Jayson fell in love and got married. The podcast covers the tenets of their new book, The Micronutrient Miracle:  The 28 Day Plan to Lose Weight, Increase Your Energy, and Reverse Disease. In this episode, we talk about: How BPA is in more places than you'd think, and how it raises your insulin levels How adequate vitamin C can moderate your stress response Why iron should be taken away from most other supplements The best form of chromium (it's polynicotinate) The most important nutrients for thyroid health Their new book is highly educational, but also very practical.  There are quizzes to find out where you might be deficient, and plans to follow (including meals for a whole month) for different health goals.   Click here to check out the book.

Our little adrenal glands (we've got a one sitting atop each kidney) are getting more attention nowadays.  Why?  In one word - stress.  The stresses of modern life- whether it's traffic, deadlines, pollution, processed food, or late night tv- are really taking a toll on our adrenals.   In today's interview, Dr. Saman Rezaie, NMD of the Integrative Health clinic in Scotsdale, AZ, explains: How our adrenal glands work The difference between adrenal disorder and adrenal disease The stages of adrenal disorder Why getting tested for adrenal fatigue is not performed in a standard MD's office A few simple things you can do to be nice to your adrenals Please visit us at bridgitdanner.com to join our newsletter and stay up to date with all our happenings!

We were both at health conference with a party event, and there were a few of us who clearly shared a love of dancing full on, late night.   Tom is a certified Functional Medicine Practitioner through the Institute of Functional Medicine, and he holds a master's degree in Nutritional Science.   He co-authored a new book with his wife, Ali Segersten, called The Elimination Diet:  Discover the Foods that are Making You Sick and Tired, and Feel Better Fast.
