  • Good info but…

    The guests are amazing, and such good information. However, the new host has some room for improvement. She sounds very unrefined and doesn’t ask deep, insightful questions. It’s just a lot of exclamatory responses and very valley girl. “Like, OMG, wow! Hard to listen to now.

    Dr. Kate has so much personality, and her episodes with guests feel like two friends just chatting. Her episodes on the connection between mental health and blood sugar were very enlightening. Definitely worth the listen!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Missing Piece in Youth Sports: Building Healthy, High-Performing Teen Athletes
Q: How do you respond to teens asking for peptides, and what's your approach to hormone optimization in teens?
Peptides are discussed cautiously; the focus is on nutrition, sleep, and safe, evidence-based practices. Testosterone testing is used to demystify expectations and redirect toward controllable factors like diet and sleep; any peptide use would require rigorous consent and research participation.
The Missing Piece in Youth Sports: Building Healthy, High-Performing Teen Athletes
Q: What are you using to help your athletes in terms of nutrition and supplements, and where do you start?
The foundation is calories and consistency, with protein and scheduling around workouts; supplements are individualized and not the sole driver of progress. Emphasis is placed on NSF-certified products, proper timing, and a strong parental involvement plan.
How to Build a Thriving Practice Without Burning Out
Q: Where can people find you and what different types of offerings do you have?
Lesli points people to her website and social channels for courses, private consulting, and a membership program, including a low-cost Income Accelerator option with group sessions and tech support.
Root, Leaf, Extract: What Matters in Ashwagandha
Q: What documentation should a practitioner request when the plant part or extract is unclear?
Request a COA that lists all testing performed, and ensure it shows the plant part, the standardization (including whether glycosides are included), and CGMP certification.
Root, Leaf, Extract: What Matters in Ashwagandha
Q: What exactly has been verified when a material is authenticated?
Authentication typically uses HPTLC to confirm plant part identity, followed by comparison to authenticated reference materials; third-party testing and CGMP conformity are also checked to ensure correct plant part and purity.
