I sit down with Dr. Kevin Smith, a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner from the Pittsburgh area, to talk about what happens when you stop settling for “here’s a pill” and start digging into why your body is breaking down.

Dr. Smith walks me through how he went from treating back and neck pain to dealing with “weird, mysterious problems” that chiropractic alone couldn’t solve, which pushed him into clinical nutrition, functional blood chemistry, and deeper lab work. He explains, in very straightforward terms, the difference between allopathic care that manages symptoms and functional medicine that looks for hidden root causes behind high blood pressure, thyroid disease, gut issues, chronic fatigue, and more. We also talk about the reality of short primary care visits, the constant “come back later” cycle, and why managing is not the same as curing.

You’ll also hear why AI chatbots can backfire for people with serious mental health conditions, what a GRAS loophole means for hidden food chemicals, and how biological age, keto, and exercise tie into brain health and blood sugar.

]]> Valentine’s Day, Ghosting, and Mental Health Marvin Bee 00:05:56 Feeling drained by dating apps or Valentine’s Day expectations? This episode breaks down what new research says about anxiety, depression, and burnout from ghosting, swiping, and situationships—and what you can actually do about it. You’ll also get quick-hit updates on relationship rituals, group exercise for mental health, and simple, sane nutrition advice. Feeling drained by dating apps or Valentine’s Day expectations?

She talks about her grandmother’s journey from an unschooled girl in El Salvador to a beloved businesswoman and community anchor, and how those roots inspired Nancy to use her voice and multiply the blessings she was given. They also touch on the power of being still (with a nod to Psalms 46:10), the mental side of letting loved ones go, and the quiet suffering that comes from staying in situations just to protect the status quo.

Takeaways: 

  • Painful seasons (like divorce and grief) can position you to show up more fully for the people who need you most.
  • You may only recognize you were “right where you were supposed to be” after the storm has passed.
  • Staying in a relationship, job, or role just to protect others’ feelings can lead to silent suffering for everyone involved.
  • Unhealthy coping—like heavy drinking—can be a signal that your life feels out of control and something deeper needs to change.
  • Asking “What am I avoiding?” can reveal the exact things keeping you stuck in the wrong situation.
  • Families sometimes need to give loved ones permission to let go at the end of life so they don’t suffer longer than necessary.
  • Being still—rather than constantly distracting yourself—creates space to see what’s really important now.

Marv offers his own framework from a Lou Holtz story—WIN: “What’s Important Now”—and explains how that guides his choices when work collides with caring for his mom and other family responsibilities. The conversation becomes a real-time example of prioritizing stress management, emotional health, and boundaries over non-stop productivity.

Takeaways

  • You can’t take care of everyone else if you never put your own “oxygen mask” on first.​
  • It’s okay—and sometimes necessary—to step back from business growth and focus on survival and capacity.​
  • “What’s Important Now” is a powerful filter for making decisions when work and family collide.​
  • Listening to your body when it demands rest is a crucial health habit.​
  • Unresolved grief and fear of loss can keep you stuck in unhealthy partnerships and coping strategies.​
  • It’s possible to look back on hard decisions without regret, recognizing that you did the best you could with what you knew.​
  • Part of healing is growing your capacity to hold more without collapsing—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

  • Lori’s “core four” focus—culture, communication, connection, and community—guides short, weekly 15‑minute internal episodes that employees can easily consume.
  • These internal shows are especially powerful for midsize companies and distributed teams (remote workers, people in trucks, manufacturing staff) who can’t always attend live meetings.
  • Gratitude and grounding practices can be woven into workplace content, helping people reset before or after stressful meetings and stay more centered.
  • Lori’s own shift from nomading to settling in Charlotte highlights the importance of intentionally building community and creating a “nest” for emotional health.
  • Relationships change as people grow; part of staying healthy and authentic is accepting when certain friendships are no longer aligned.
  • Social connection and a sense of purpose are major contributors to longevity and wellbeing, often outweighing purely nutritional or medical factors.

In this episode, Marv takes on five big misconceptions that keep us from enjoying food and life—starting with the idea that you have to stop eating certain foods to lose weight. Spoiler: elimination diets are not the answer, and moderation is the real key. He also tackles the myth that organic foods are always healthier, referencing the “Dirty Dozen” and “Clean 15” lists to show that sometimes, organic is just more expensive, not more nutritious.

But wait—there’s more. Marv busts the myth that detoxes and cleanses are necessary for health, reminding us that our bodies are already expert detoxers. He challenges the notion that thin equals healthy, emphasizing that well-being is about so much more than body weight. And for anyone who’s ever felt guilty about late-night snacking, Marv sets the record straight: it’s what and how much you eat, not the time of day, that matters most. As a bonus, he touches on gluten-free diets, explaining why they’re only necessary for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

]]> Sat, 7 Jun 2025 18:46:22 +0000 marvin@mbsystems.net (Marvin Bee) https://www.unhealthypodcast.com/63 Uncle Marv is back after a whirlwind of tech conferences and client moves, and he’s got a bone to pick with the most persistent health myths out there. In this episode, Marv takes on five big misconceptions that keep us from enjoying food and life—starting with the idea that you have to stop eating certain foods to lose weight. Spoiler: elimination diets are not the answer, and moderation is the real key. He also tackles the myth that organic foods are always healthier, referencing the “Dirty Dozen” and “Clean 15” lists to show that sometimes, organic is just more expensive, not more nutritious.

But wait—there’s more. Marv busts the myth that detoxes and cleanses are necessary for health, reminding us that our bodies are already expert detoxers. He challenges the notion that thin equals healthy, emphasizing that well-being is about so much more than body weight. And for anyone who’s ever felt guilty about late-night snacking, Marv sets the record straight: it’s what and how much you eat, not the time of day, that matters most. As a bonus, he touches on gluten-free diets, explaining why they’re only necessary for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Introducing the Guest:
Jennifer Gularson is a board-certified physician assistant and functional medicine practitioner specializing in holistic, root-cause approaches to health. Her unique background allows her to blend traditional diagnostics with lifestyle and hormone therapies, giving patients the time and validation they often miss in mainstream medicine.

The Philosophy Behind 21st Century Medicine: At the heart of Melanie’s approach is the belief that thriving health is everyone’s birthright.

Karen, a former attorney who now works as a divorce coach, offers a unique perspective on the divorce process, emphasizing a heart and happiness-centered approach.

The discussion kicks off with Karen explaining the role of a divorce coach. She clarifies that while divorce is never easy, a coach can make the process more manageable, helping people navigate it with less conflict, expense, and damage to themselves and their children. 

Karen introduces her "Divorce Road Map 3.0," an educational program designed to guide people through the ten steps of divorce. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the process and being prepared for what's to come, which can lead to better decision-making and a smoother experience overall. 

The conversation then shifts to common mistakes people make during divorce, with Karen highlighting the misconception that the court system will provide fairness or justice. She explains that the legal system isn't designed to handle the emotional aspects of divorce and that people often have unrealistic expectations about telling their story in court. 

Karen also discusses the concept of no-fault divorce, which exists in all 50 states, and how it impacts the legal process. She shares a story about a contentious divorce case involving landscaping rocks to illustrate how emotions can drive conflict and prolong the process unnecessarily. 

The episode concludes with a discussion about tying up loose ends after a divorce, including updating beneficiaries, closing joint accounts, and thinking about the future beyond the divorce. Karen emphasizes the importance of dealing with these tasks promptly to avoid potential issues down the line.

However, he has since lost 10 lbs without major exercise or a specific program, likely due to changes in his eating habits. 

He discusses the Yuka app, which he has been using to evaluate food choices for the past month. The app provides a rating system from 0-100, with green being good, orange being poor, and red being bad. The app also provides information on additives and nutrients in scanned foods. 

Uncle Marv received feedback from a listener about potential issues with the Yuka app, including concerns from a cancer researcher about the app's recommendations not aligning with dietary needs for cancer patients. He also discusses a video from "Food Science Babe" critiquing the app. 

Uncle Marv plans to spend three weeks with Diana Feinstein, working through her Max Health program. He intends to record this experience and share it with listeners, either through the podcast or a video segment. 

The episode also covers Uncle Marv's research into the science behind clean eating, including studies on the effects of phosphorus in foods. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the science behind food recommendations and the need for transparency from app developers about their sources of information.

Diana Feinstein, the founder of Max Pact Health, joins Uncle Marv to discuss his experience trying a cauliflower pizza crust. Marv admits he was initially skeptical but decided to give it a try after Diana sent him the recipe. 

Instead of making the crust from scratch, Marv and his wife found a pre-made cauliflower crust at the store. They topped it with their favorite toppings, and Marv found it to be a tasty and healthier alternative to regular pizza. 

Diana explains that cauliflower pizza crust is a staple in her clients' diets as it allows them to enjoy a beloved food like pizza while making a healthier choice. She emphasizes the importance of not restricting foods entirely but rather making gradual shifts towards better options. 

Using the example of chips, Diana suggests replacing half the bag with a healthier option like hummus and carrots. This approach, known as the "science of behavioral change," involves creating new habits by slowly crowding out unhealthy behaviors with positive reinforcement. 

Diana also mentions that cauliflower crust can be used for various bread-like products, such as calzones, flatbreads, and pita chips, providing versatility in incorporating healthier alternatives.

Key Takeaways

  • Cauliflower pizza crust is a healthier alternative to regular pizza crust.
  • Making small, sustainable dietary changes is more effective than complete restriction.
  • Gradually crowding out unhealthy behaviors with healthier options can lead to lasting change.
  • Cauliflower crust can be used for various bread-like products, adding versatility to healthier eating.

He clarifies that the show explores various topics related to health and wellness, including mindset and alternative approaches.

She addresses the legality of psilocybin, which is currently classified as a Schedule 1 drug, despite its non-addictive nature and potential medical uses. Julie advocates for accurate information and safe practices, emphasizing that microdosing is not about "shoving mushrooms down anyone's throat."

She addresses the legality of psilocybin, which is currently classified as a Schedule 1 drug, despite its non-addictive nature and potential medical uses. Julie advocates for accurate information and safe practices, emphasizing that microdosing is not about "shoving mushrooms down anyone's throat." 

Julie shares details about her coaching program, which includes a structured course, small group calls, one-on-one sessions, and a supportive community. She emphasizes the importance of thoroughly vetting potential clients to ensure a good fit and create a safe, intentional environment.

Key Takeaways: 

  • Microdosing with psilocybin involves taking small, sub-perceptual doses to improve focus, mood, and reduce anxiety without causing a "trip."
  • Proper guidance and integration are crucial for maximizing the benefits of microdosing and ensuring lasting effects.
  • Microdosing can be a viable alternative for those seeking mental health support or an alternative to pharmaceutical drugs.
  • Psilocybin is currently classified as a Schedule 1 drug, despite its non-addictive nature and potential medical uses.
  • Julie's coaching program provides a structured approach, community support, and personalized guidance for those interested in microdosing.

Uncle Marv kicks off by acknowledging his lack of knowledge about microdosing but openness to learn. Julie explains microdosing means taking tiny amounts of substances like psilocybin, cannabis or LSD - enough to provide benefits without cognitive impairment or losing control. 

She shares how she initially tried microdosing psilocybin out of curiosity from a trusted friend who was investing in a microdosing company. After researching and combining it with her coaching skills, Julie started offering microdosing mentorship when she saw interest from sharing her experience online. 

Julie differentiates microdosing from a full psychedelic dose, which causes cognitive distortion and an inability to operate machinery safely. With microdosing, you remain grounded in reality while experiencing reduced mental burdens like anxiety, depression and PTSD. 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Microdosing involves taking tiny, sub-perceptual amounts of psychedelics for benefits without impairment
  • It can help with mental health issues like anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction
  • Combining microdosing with coaching/therapy can provide additional benefits
  • Start slow and have an intention/goal for your microdosing practice

Clean Eating Explained

Clean eating focuses on whole, minimally processed foods while avoiding artificial ingredients, preservatives, and refined sugars. The goal is to eat nutrient-dense foods as close to their natural form as possible. This could involve cutting out entire food groups like dairy or grains, but Marv plans to take a more balanced approach.

While some promote extreme versions, clean eating doesn't necessarily require eliminating entire food groups or only eating "pure" foods for significant health benefits. A balanced diet with a variety of whole and minimally processed foods can be sufficient.

Marv's Clean Eating Plan 

Marv won't go to extremes but will choose foods he understands, with pronounceable ingredients. His plan includes:

  • Loading up on fruits, veggies, lean proteins, healthy fats
  • Choosing complex carbs like whole grains over refined grains
  • Avoiding sugars, sodium, unhealthy fats
  • Drinking more water, unsweetened tea instead of sugary beverages

He'll make simple swaps like veggie stir-fries over brown rice, baked salmon with roasted veggies, and turkey chili. For snacks, he'll have fresh fruits, veggies, hummus, and homemade trail mix.

Key Takeaways:

  • Clean eating focuses on whole, minimally processed foods
  • Avoid artificial ingredients, preservatives, refined sugars
  • Marv plans a balanced approach without cutting out food groups
  • Simple swaps like lean proteins, complex carbs, healthy fats
  • Potential benefits: better digestion, mood, weight, disease risk

He shares his experience with adding cacao powder to his coffee as a healthier alternative. However, after seeing numerous ads promoting "coffee tricks" and supplements for weight loss, Uncle Marv did extensive research but could not find any peer-reviewed scientific studies to back up these claims. He emphasizes that while coffee can provide a modest, temporary metabolism boost due to caffeine, sustainable weight loss requires a balanced diet and regular exercise. The cacao powder may have some benefits due to its antioxidants and fiber, but Uncle Marv is unsure if he will continue using it due to the taste.

  • He has started grinding his own organic coffee beans and adding cacao powder instead of sugar and creamer.
  • Despite claims of "coffee tricks" for weight loss advertised online, Uncle Marv found no peer-reviewed scientific studies supporting these claims.

She explains that the tattoos were a way for her to rebel against her parents' disapproval and to assert her identity, especially as a female business owner in a male-dominated industry. 

As Nancy's career progressed, the tattoos became a defining part of her image and reputation, with Uncle Marv even dubbing her "the girl with a thousand tattoos." However, Nancy reveals that this was also a way to overcompensate for the imposter syndrome she felt, as she was often talked down to or made to feel like an outsider in the tech world. It was during a particularly difficult conference that Nancy decided to seek therapy, which helped her unpack the deeper roots of these feelings and work towards greater self-acceptance. 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Tattoos can be a form of self-expression and identity, but can also be a way to overcompensate for deeper insecurities
  • Imposter syndrome is a common challenge for underrepresented groups in male-dominated industries
  • Therapy can be a valuable tool in addressing the root causes of imposter syndrome and building self-esteem

As Nancy's career progressed, the tattoos became a defining part of her image and reputation, with Uncle Marv even dubbing her "the girl with a thousand tattoos." However, Nancy reveals that this was also a way to overcompensate for the imposter syndrome she felt, as she was often talked down to or made to feel like an outsider in the tech world. It was during a particularly difficult conference that Nancy decided to seek therapy, which helped her unpack the deeper roots of these feelings and work towards greater self-acceptance. 

Key Takeaways: 

  • Tattoos can be a form of self-expression and identity, but can also be a way to overcompensate for deeper insecurities
  • Imposter syndrome is a common challenge for underrepresented groups in male-dominated industries
  • Therapy can be a valuable tool in addressing the root causes of imposter syndrome and building self-esteem

In this continuation, they explore the remaining three elements. 

The third element is Clarity and Dynamics, which addresses the repeating patterns and unresolved issues that couples often struggle with. Emma explains that these patterns are often rooted in past wounds and unfinished emotional business that get triggered in the present. By gaining clarity on the underlying drivers of these dynamics, couples can start to break the cycle and make lasting changes. 

The fourth element is Connection and Intimacy. Emma emphasizes the importance of finding the right balance between togetherness and individuality in a relationship. Couples need to nurture their connection while also maintaining their own sense of self and independence. This can involve creating shared rituals, activities, and quality time together, as well as respecting each other's need for space and autonomy. 

The fifth element is Collaboration and Partnership, where the couple actively collaborates to design the relationship they want. This involves setting shared goals, mapping out responsibilities, and regularly checking in to ensure both partners' needs are being met. Emma stresses that this process needs to be tailored to the unique preferences and lifestyles of each couple.

Key Takeaways: 

  • Unresolved past wounds and emotional baggage often drive repeating negative patterns in relationships
  • Balancing connection and separateness is crucial for a healthy, thriving relationship
  • Couples should actively co-create the relationship they want through shared goal-setting and regular check-ins

Uncle Marv and Lori begin by discussing Lori's podcast, "Fine is a Four-Letter Word," where they explore the idea that people often say they're "fine" when they're not. Lori explains that she decided to give up her apartment in Northern Virginia and embrace a nomadic lifestyle, primarily house-sitting for others, particularly cat owners. She cites the rising rent in her area and the recent loss of her own cats as the main factors that inspired this change. 

Lori describes the fluidity of her schedule, as she books house-sitting gigs in different locations, often with gaps in between that require her to stay in hotels or Airbnbs. She acknowledges that this uncertainty can be challenging, as she has to research each potential accommodation to ensure it is clean, safe, and affordable. However, Lori views this as an adventure and an opportunity for growth, trusting that everything will work out as it's supposed to. 

The conversation takes an interesting turn when Lori recounts a recent incident where her car experienced brake issues while she was driving in Wilmington, North Carolina. Despite the unexpected $1,900 repair bill, Lori maintains a positive outlook, focusing on the fact that the situation could have been much worse and that she was able to get the car fixed in time to make it to her next house-sitting gig. This leads to a discussion about the importance of cultivating gratitude, even in the face of challenges.

Key Takeaways:

  • Lori embraced a nomadic lifestyle, giving up her apartment and primarily house-sitting for others, particularly cat owners.
  • She views this as an adventure and an opportunity for growth, despite the challenges of uncertainty and the need to constantly research accommodations.
  • Lori maintains a positive outlook, focusing on gratitude and the belief that everything will work out as it's supposed to, even in the face of unexpected setbacks.
  • The importance of cultivating gratitude, even in the midst of complaints or criticism, is a key theme throughout the conversation.

Join me on a journey through the intricacies of relationship health and wellness with my esteemed guest, Emma Viglucci from Metropolitan Marriage and Family Therapy. 

We open the conversation by acknowledging that even long-term relationships can experience challenges as the initial "honeymoon phase" fades and daily life takes over. Emma agrees, explaining that it's common for couples to stop investing the same level of effort into their relationship as they did early on. This can lead to a sense of disconnection and increased conflict if the relationship is not actively nurtured. 

Emma shares that she started her private practice, Metropolitan Marriage and Family Therapy, in 2000 with a focus on working with busy professionals. She found that these individuals often struggle to maintain a healthy work-life balance, leading to strained relationships and neglect of personal needs. 

Emma and I dissect the habits that can deteriorate a bond, emphasizing the transformative shift from 'me' to 'we' thinking and the indispensable roles of grace and understanding. Emma's goal is to help her clients re-prioritize their relationships and personal well-being amidst the demands of their careers. 

When couples first seek Emma's help, they often report feeling disconnected, fighting frequently, and unsure if their relationship can be saved. Emma explains that her Successful Relationship Strategy addresses five key areas: communication, alignment, clarity and dynamics, connection and intimacy, and collaboration and partnership. By working through these elements, Emma helps her clients develop the tools and mindset to sustain a healthy, thriving relationship. 

Key Takeaways

  • Relationships can become strained over time as couples stop investing the same level of effort
  • Busy professionals often struggle to maintain a healthy work-life balance, leading to relationship challenges

Dr. Carrie Johansson is back with us, too, and her story is one you won't want to miss. We don't just talk about physical health; we get into the nitty-gritty of what really nourishes the spirit. Together, we unspool the threads of happiness, questioning the common trap of equating it with what we own rather than what we've earned. It's a mix of tales and truths, with the aim of steering our ship from the rocky shores of entitlement to the serene waters of appreciation.

The conversation between Uncle Marv and Dr. Carrie touches on the misconception that happiness is tied to perfection and entitlement. They share personal anecdotes about appreciating past struggles and how putting in effort can lead to greater satisfaction and contentment in life.

Powerlifting Journey

Dr. Carrie recounts her unexpected journey from feeling old and frumpy to discovering a passion for powerlifting, despite not being naturally athletic or coordinated. Growing up as the bookish sibling contrasted with my athletic brother, she carried a self-narrative of being non-athletic into her initial gym experiences. Hiring a trainer who specialized in the intersection of neurology and physiology helped her challenge and change these long-held stories about herself. By making the gym experience accessible and finding a trainer who was the right fit, she made significant progress, eventually leading to an invitation to compete in powerlifting.

She emphasizes the importance of setting realistic goals and breaking them down into manageable steps. She uses the example of weight loss, suggesting that instead of setting a goal to lose a large amount of weight all at once, it's more effective to focus on losing smaller amounts consistently.

Keysa also hosts the "Lose Your Cravings" podcast, where she takes a different approach to reducing cravings. The podcast covers various topics related to cravings and emotional eating.

The book provides information on how to find safe, gluten-free food options while traveling. Elikqitie has traveled to over 18 countries with Celiac disease and shares her experiences on her Instagram page and podcast. 

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, triticale, barley, spelt, and a few other grains. To be gluten-free means not eating anything that has the gluten protein in it. The wheat we eat today contains 20 times more gluten than the wheat we used to eat, which can trigger autoimmune diseases like celiac disease.

The Travel Gluten Free Podcast is a podcast that provides practical information on how to travel gluten-free safely and enjoyably.

The program includes seven lessons in week one, starting with expanding capacity and ending with preparing your home or space for love. One of the exercises in week one is to imagine being with your beloved and how it feels like, tastes like, and all the emotions that come with it. The program is focused on self-discovery and understanding oneself to attract the right partner. 

The first lesson that we explore in this episode is about expanding your capacity to love and be loved. It's mainly understanding what the intimate relationship means to you today.  We highlight the importance of understanding our needs for companionship and creating authentic relationships by embracing our beauty, failures, and flaws. Coach Elle shares her insights on how to complete your past, providing advice and exercises to create meaningful relationships based on trust and understanding. 

We also explore the importance of self-reflection to create a balanced, fulfilling relationship. Understanding our own needs and emotions is key. We discuss how to be honest with ourselves when exploring our needs and how to set intentions for our ideal partner. We also explore the idea that while we may not need somebody else, we still should recognize the importance of honoring our needs for others.

Listen in as Lori shares her journey from marketing expert to stress eradication specialist, discussing the significant impact stress has on our physical and mental health. She shares tips on how to remain grounded in stressful situations, underlining the power of meditation and yoga to help foster a more relaxed state. Lori's firm belief in the possibility of reversing the effects of stress hormones and increasing the feel-good hormones in our bodies is not just inspiring, but also life changing. 

Our conversation took an exciting turn as Lori shared her personal journey back to meditation after a long break and how it equipped her with the tools to stay calm amidst chaos. She discusses the pivots she made in her business from baking to teaching networking strategies, then finally to teaching gratitude and creating the business Zen Rabbit. Lori passionately talks about the concept of 'Fuck Being Fine', and how it's about seeking joy in life. She asserts the power of positive thinking and how we, as energetic beings, attract what we put out. 

In the latter part of our discussion, we explored a practical exercise designed to help us cultivate a more positive outlook by practicing gratitude. We discussed replacing the word 'but' with 'I'm grateful for' in all aspects of life to help us focus on gratitude. We wrapped up our enlightening conversation by discussing Laurie's changes to her podcast, why she stopped doing the meditations after the first season, and how she has adapted her show to focus on helping people realize that they are not alone in their desire for more out of life. So, tune in to our discussion and learn how to stay calm, centered, and healthy even in the midst of chaos.
