#45 - Healthy Beds, Mattress Reviews, & Guest Tyler Jean | Heal Thy Self w/ Dr. G

Knowledge bomb: Toxic beds and what to look for in buying a new one Special guest: Tyler is a Naturopathic doctoral candidate whose journey in medicine began in college when he fell in love with food. Tyler believes that physicians have the unique opportunity to be a teacher and a mentor that encourages others to take self-responsibility for their health and empower their patients and the general public with the knowledge necessary for living a healthy, happy, and sustainable lifestyle. Tyler believes that we, as a society, are starting to move toward a more preventative and integrative approach to medicine. With the rise in chronic disease and the increased patient frustration from minimal treatment options, now, more than ever, people are starting to get second opinions from alternative medicine practitioners. While it can be easy to get caught up in the latest fads and dietary trends, Tyler believes that the food we eat creates the foundation for life. When it comes to food choices, his golden principle is this: Eat nutrient-dense, unprocessed foods, that celebrate plant diversity, emphasize quality, and encourages a balanced, adequate, and varied diet. By making this simple shift, you can make a profound impact on your health and vitality. Tyler joins the show to share his expansive knowledge on inflammation. He explains how it is a root cause too many diseases and how to identify the factors driving it. Through his passion with functional foods he speaks of the top foods to heal from chronic inflammation as well as what else contributes to blocking us from fully healing. Heal Thy Self is a show based on empowerment. Empowerment of you, the viewer such that you can be your highest self on every level.
