Have you heard of sulforaphane? Want to know how to harness the benefits of this powerful compound? Tune in to learn all about sulforaphane—a powerhouse phytonutrient that activates detox and antioxidant pathways to protect your cells. 

In this episode, we will unpack how this potent compound supports the body’s natural defense systems, working through the NRF2 pathway to reduce oxidative stress, enhance cellular detoxification, and promote resilience against modern day toxin exposure. We also discuss how food preparation impacts sulforaphane yield, why gut health matters for its conversion, and how to maximize levels through broccoli sprouts, seed extracts, and targeted supplementation. We also unveil the exciting reformulation of Cellular Antiox, featuring clinically validated broccoli seed extract for enhanced cellular protection alongside glutathione support!

Episode 468: Sulforaphane

Are you low in glutathione? Feeling sluggish, inflamed, or more sensitive to toxins than you used to be? Maybe you’re catching every bug that goes around or noticing your recovery just isn’t what it used to be. Today on the Naturally Nourished Podcast, we’re talking about the body’s master antioxidant, glutathione, and why it’s essential for immune resilience, detoxification, energy, and longevity.

We’ll unpack what glutathione is, why modern life so easily depletes it, and how low levels have been linked to everything from fatigue and joint pain to accelerated aging and chronic disease. Plus, we’ll share simple strategies to help you raise your levels naturally and introduce our newly reformulated Cellular Antiox, now featuring NAC, Setria® glutathione, and broccoli seed extract for enhanced cellular protection and glutathione production.

Episode 464: Thermography, Mammograms & Dense Breast Tissue with Guest Patricia Luccardi

In this episode of the Naturally Nourished Podcast, we focus on three key hormones that can significantly impact metabolism: insulin, leptin, and cortisol. Each of these hormones plays an essential role in regulating energy, hunger, and stress, and when imbalances occur, they may be the underlying cause of a metabolic stall or plateau.

The conversation explores how insulin resistance can block fat burn, how leptin resistance can interfere with satiety signals, and how cortisol dysregulation can drive cravings and fat storage. We discuss practical strategies for identifying when these hormones are out of balance, along with food-as-medicine approaches, lifestyle modifications, and targeted supplementation to help restore harmony and support optimal metabolic function.

Episode 460: 5 Keto Myths & Why You Need a Keto Reset

In this episode, we shine a spotlight on insulin—an often overlooked but crucial hormone that plays a central role in metabolism and overall health. While blood sugar gets a lot of attention, insulin is the key regulator behind it, influencing energy storage, fat metabolism, and cellular function. We explore how insulin resistance develops, the early signs to watch for, and why it’s so important to address this root issue to prevent chronic disease.

We also discuss how ketogenic and low-carb diets can help regulate insulin levels, improve metabolic flexibility, and support weight management. This episode provides clear, functional insights into insulin’s role and practical strategies for balancing it through nutrition and lifestyle, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in metabolic health and disease prevention.

Episode 459: Why Insulin Matters

Why are humans mismatched for our current environment and what can we do about it? How can we re-wild our kids? You’ve heard us talk about our favorite products from Wild Foods for years now, so we figured why not have Colin on the podcast to talk about how he got started with this company, what he’s learned along the way, and share his obsession with longevity, real food, and so much more. 

 

In this episode, we go deep with Colin Skuckert on everything from entrepreneurship to favorite supplements in his current stack to red light therapy and beyond. We talk red light therapy, fulvic minerals, animal-based nutrition and even jive on Bitcoin!
