15 minute matrix by Andrea Nakayama

For the final episode of the 15-Minute Matrix (sad, but true!) I finalize our deep dive into the topic of satiety, continuing the conversation from my first episode, linked below. As a bonus, I answer questions I received regarding the what, why and how of satiety. 

Can there be growth within suffering? If you know me and my story, you know that Posttraumatic Growth is an important way that I frame my experience.

Dushyanthi walks us through a beautiful journey of suffering and healing with compassion, awareness, and acceptance. 

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is commonly looked at as the “end point” in a client or patient’s diagnosis. But Dr. Diane Mueller helps us to flip the script and challenges practitioners to ask “WHY” someone may be experiencing chronic fatigue. (Hint: It’s multifactorial!)

Bioindividuality matters. We know this in health and nutrition. Yet increased protein consumption is a hot topic in today’s health space and it can be easy to lose sight of where individuality may play a role in our recommendations — even when it comes to protein intake. Dr. Lamming joins me on this episode to discuss if the early clinical findings support a higher protein diet inclusive of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), or not, and for whom. 

Dr. Warren Bishop joins me on this episode to discuss the important topic of heart attacks and heart disease.
