In this episode Holly Jean and Dr. Jockers discuss chronic inflammation and how it contributes to the development of many diseases and various types of cancer. Genetic risk factors, a compromised immune system, stress, obesity, lack of sleep, and a poor diet all play a role in the onset of chronic inflammation.

How can keto, or feeding the body with ketones, help the body promote healing and recovering? Dr. Jockers explains it! We also discuss some of the common symptoms of chronic inflammation and the connection to gut health and the impacts of a leaky gut on entire body systems. This episode is full of wisdom from Dr. Jockers clinical experience – you don’t want to miss it!

Welcome to Low Carb Conversations with Leah Williamson and Holly Jean Barrett, Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners.

In this episode, Leah and Holly Jean enjoy a down to earth discussion with Jenn Kautsch. Jenn is the founder of SoberSis, a like-minded community of women who are renegotiating their relationship with alcohol w/o labels, shame, judgment or rules. Jenn supports women through practical tools and connection while breaking the wine o’clock habit and she does not hold back in this episode – we talk about all the feels, the mixed emotions, the tips and the tricks!

Between 2019 into 2020, reports of women binge drinking rose amid the pandemic. Now many of those women, particularly mothers, say they’re reevaluating their relationship with alcohol in hopes to put an end to the, potentially dangerous, trend.

We’ve all seen the memes floating around – joking about how “mommy needs her juice”, and while it may start as all fun and games, many women are discovering that the ritual of unwinding and relaxing with a drink turns into a slippery slope of needing a drink to cope with stress. If you have been questioning your relationship with alcohol, or curious about breaking free from that detox-to-retox cycle, this is the episode for you!
