Ep. 90 - Almost 30 Recap Part 2

Daniela Kende, holistic health coach and natural birthing expert, joins us on today’s episode. Daniela runs her coaching programs on the foundation that no one knows your body better than you do– how refreshing is that? She asks her clients to set aside their self-judgements, and give themselves permission to rebel against the rules of the popular “diets” out there. Daniela believes that by strengthening your intuition, you will begin to actually hear what your body needs. In today’s conversation, we go deep into nutrition while pregnant and trying to get pregnant– what to eat, what to pay attention to, and ultimately figuring out what works best for you. Daniela also shares her own personal pregnancy journey, her labor story, what it’s been like since her daughter was born, and the conversation around having a natural birth at a hospital.   We also talk about…   Taking herbs during pregnancy Morning sickness What a doula is, and why Daniela decided to use one The different trimesters in pregnancy Other lifestyle changes and adaptations that she made while pregnant The benefits of delayed cord clamping + ingesting the placenta The effect on the pelvic floor Being a part of the motherhood community Daniela’s advice for moms and mom’s to be   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Learn more: danielakende.com Instagram: @danielakende Designs for Health vitamins Read: The First Forty Days by Amely Greeven ; Guide to Childbirth by Ina May ; Natural Hospital Birth by Cynthia Gabriel yourpodcastpro.com     Upcoming Events: March 26th: Rachel Rosen Event College Tour: Email events@almost30podcast.com    Hotline : 1 (424) 272-1853   Sponsors: Article | www.article.com/ALMOST30 for $50 off a purchase of $100 or more HUM Nutrition | Use code ALMOST30NATION for 15% off at humnutrition.com Alterra Pure | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off at alterrapure.com Daily Harvest | Use code ALMOST30 for 3 FREE Cups in your first box at www.daily-harvest.com The Almost 30 Podcast is edited by Podcast Masters This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

We are often asked what balance looks like for us, and honestly, we don’t know!  There is an incredible plus balance looks different to every person. We were part of an event put on by us, Youtube, and Dermalogica on International Women’s Day, surrounding the topic that balance is BS. Achieving balance in life is such a trendy thing to talk about, and at this event, we sat alongside other amazing women to debunk the idea of balance. The panel featured Danika Brysha, Sara Tan, Deepica Mutyala, and Jane Wurwand. Each woman offered so much value and insight to business, entrepreneurism, and this idea that balance is BS. We are so excited for you to give this episode a listen.   We also talk about…   Defining milestones for Jane What led Danika to the creation of Model Meals Deepica + Sara on creating boundaries The unsexy side of entrepreneurism and business Different missteps and mistakes we look back on How everyone balances work and personal life Advice for female founder just starting out     Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Follow each panelist on Instagram: @danikabrysha ; @saratan ; @deepica ; @janewurwand Danika’s self-care checklist   Upcoming Events: March 26th: Rachel Rosen Event College Tour: Email events@almost30podcast.com    Hotline : 1 (424) 272-1853   Sponsors: Article | www.article.com/ALMOST30 for $50 off a purchase of $100 or more HUM Nutrition | Use code ALMOST30NATION for 15% off at humnutrition.com Silver Fern | Use code ALMOST30 for 20% off your first order at silverfernbrand.com Robinhood | Robinhood is giving listeners a FREE stock like Apple, Ford, or Sprint to help build your portfolio!

Today we are joined by Dr. David Perlmutter, a Board-Certified Neurologist, Fellow of the American College of Nutrition, and author of the popular book, Grain Brain. He is recognized internationally as a leader in the field of nutritional influences in neurological disorders, and is a frequent lecturer at top medical universities. Dr. Perlmutter has helped so many people come to understand what excess grain consumption can do to our bodies, and what other ingredients, like sugar, can do as well. In this conversation, we talk about pushback that he’s received about his books and beliefs, the baselines of disease prevention that need attention, and women’s health. Dr. Perlmutter also shares his journey from neurology, into the spark for the work that led him to opening up his own practice, and ultimately to writing Grain Brain.   We also talk about…   What Dr. Perlmutter has learned The disconnection of knowing and acting on information Inflammation and paying better attention to it Maintaining diversity in the gut The wheat industry in America + gluten-free Dr. Perlmutter’s spiritual journey How relationships have played a part in his life and his practice What Dr. Perlmutter eats and how he moves The message that Dr. Perlmutter has for our generation   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Learn more: drperlmutter.com Instagram: @davidperlmutter Read: Grain Brain ; Brain Maker yourpodcastpro.com     Upcoming Events: March 26th: Rachel Rosen Event College Tour: Email events@almost30podcast.com    Hotline : 1 (424) 272-1853   Sponsors: Kopari | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% your first order at koparibeauty.com To Be Magnetic | Use code ALMOST30 for 10% off any workshop at www.tobemagnetic.com Perfect Keto | For 27% off site wide, visit PerfectKeto.com/almost30 and enter promo code ALMOST30 Honeybook | Use code ALMOST30 for 50% off the first year of Honeybook at honeybook.com The Almost 30 Podcast is edited by Podcast Masters This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
