For years we have been told that our genes determine our health. If something “runs in the family,” many people assume it is only a matter of time before they face the same diagnosis. But what if that belief is only part of the story?

In this podcast episode, Dr. Holly Carling and Alicia explore the science of epigenetics and explain how your daily choices influence how your genes express themselves. From nutrition and stress to sleep, mindset, and environment, the body is constantly receiving signals that either support health or contribute to disease.

Dr. Carling shares personal stories about changing her own health trajectory despite strong family patterns of obesity, thyroid disorders, and cardiovascular disease. She explains why a genetic predisposition does not mean a guaranteed outcome and how consistent lifestyle changes can shift your future in powerful ways.

This episode offers a hopeful reminder that you are not a victim of your genetics. With intentional choices, you can influence how your body functions and support long-term health and vitality.

As we get older, we often hear more about varicose veins, especially in women (though men get them, too!). But what we don’t often hear about is what causes them and how we can try to prevent them. You might be surprised to learn that nutrition plays a big role in varicose veins, but it’s true. So many of our ailments can be attributed, at least in part, to poor nutrition and lifestyle choices. In this podcast episode, we talk about what varicose veins are, what causes them, how we can try to prevent or resolve them, and how nutrition and hydration can affect varicose veins.

Eating on the run is something we all do. With our busy lifestyles, it can be really hard to avoid it. Eating on the run can impact your body and mind negatively and is not encouraged. But there are ways to eat healthier while you’re on the go in order to mitigate those stressors. In this podcast episode, we talk about why eating on the run isn’t healthy for you, the negative impacts to your body from eating fast, and some snack and meal prep ideas to help you eat as healthy as you can when you’re not at home.

Convenience is a big factor in eating on the run, but that can lead to consuming sugary drinks and snacks that are not good for you. Instead, think about healthy options that you can take with you to be prepared when you’re out and about. It really doesn’t have to be complicated. Eating should be fun and satisfying, even when you’re in a rush. If you’re juggling a busy lifestyle, and still want to eat healthy, this is the episode for you.

In this powerful testimonial episode, Dr. Holly Carling and Alicia share the story of a woman who had reached a breaking point. She was exhausted, emotionally numb, unable to sleep, and felt disconnected from joy and meaning in her life. After trying conventional medications without relief, she turned to holistic care and experienced profound changes in a short period of time.

Dr. Carling and Alicia explore what this story reveals about the true roots of what is often labeled as “depression.” They discuss how emotional fatigue, nutrient depletion, lack of sleep, and chronic stress can drain the body’s ability to produce healthy brain chemistry. Dr. Carling explains how nutrition, acupuncture, rest, and compassionate care help the body and mind heal together.

This podcast episode is a reminder that healing is possible when we treat the whole person and address the underlying mechanisms, not just the symptoms.

We’ve heard so often in the past that bacon is bad for us and we should avoid eating it. Well, here’s permission if you need it: bacon is healthy for you! It’s sad that there’s been so many misconceptions and so much bad advice about bacon, but there are lots of benefits to eating it. In this podcast episode, we talk about the health benefits of bacon, why lard really is good for you, and why saturated fats and cholesterol are needed in our diets.

We’ve been thinking about bacon all wrong in our society and it’s time to advocate for more bacon in our lives. As long as you are eating responsibly and in moderation, you can add bacon to your diet. It’s a great source of protein. Plus, everything tastes better with bacon, doesn’t it? If you’ve ever heard the warnings against this delicious meat in the past, this episode will change your mind. Happy eating!

Pain isn’t just something to silence—it’s information.
And when we listen to it, the body can heal.

Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to relieve pain, and modern research helps explain why it works so well—especially for orthopedic pain like back pain, knee pain, joint stiffness, and arthritis.

In our latest article, Acupuncture for Pain Relief – How It Works, we break down how acupuncture:
• Stimulates the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals
• Improves circulation to injured tissues
• Reduces excess inflammation
• Releases muscle and connective-tissue tension
• Addresses the root cause of chronic pain rather than masking symptoms

We also explore why combining acupuncture with targeted nutrition can dramatically support healing of muscles, joints, discs, and bones.

If you’ve been living with pain—or managing it without real answers—this article is worth your time.
