Dr. Nicole Rivera breaks down the real root causes behind the diabetes epidemic and why simply “managing numbers” isn’t enough. She exposes the hidden dangers of processed foods, the limitations of conventional bloodwork, and shares what it actually takes to heal pancreatic function and reclaim your energy, mind, and long-term health. This is a wake-up call for visionary families and leaders who want to create generational health—by getting proactive, not just reactive.

3 Key Takeaways:

1. Most “normal” bloodwork is missing the full picture.Glucose and even A1C aren’t enough—you need a comprehensive look at insulin, amylase, and lipase to truly assess pancreatic health and diabetes risk.
2. Processed foods and chemical additives are sabotaging your pancreas. It’s not just about sugar; it’s about the hidden chemicals in your everyday foods that disrupt your body’s natural ability to regulate blood sugar.
3. You can heal and even reverse blood sugar issues—if you address the root cause. Sustainable results come from real food, lifestyle shifts, and understanding your unique biology—not just popping a pill or chasing “magic” solutions.

Quotes:

1. “Don’t be the person that sits around saying, ‘My glucose has been great,’ but you feel like shit. If you relate to the energy crashes, the cravings, the brain fog—there’s an opportunity to actually do something about it.”
2. “Are we just manipulating numbers so you feel better about the situation, or are we more interested in solving the root cause and expressing true health so that we don’t have to fear disease and dysfunction?”

Ever wonder why social media posts about food, fashion, or travel get so much love, while the deep stuff barely gets a like? In this episode, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick get real about what’s actually behind our scrolling habits, how moving to Italy flipped their perspective, and why living in alignment with your values—not someone else’s Instagram highlight reel—is the real flex. They dig into the difference between “should” and “want,” how to turn envy into inspiration, and why it’s time to stop waiting for “someday” to start living.

3 Key Takeaways:

1. Social media is a mirror: What grabs your attention online is usually a reflection of what you crave or suppress in real life. Instead of feeling “less than,” use it as feedback to uncover what you truly want.
2. Living in alignment beats living for the ‘gram: The most fulfilling choices come from knowing your own (and your family’s) values—not copying someone else’s journey or highlight reel.
3. Don’t wait for permission to live: Whether it’s moving to Italy or just making time for joy, stop playing the “I can’t because…” game. Anything is possible when you decide your desires are worth acting on.

Quotes:

• “You can sit there and say, good for them, I wish I could do that—and further that scarcity—or you can say, I’m going to make that happen because anything is possible.”

• “If you think you can or you think you can’t, either way, you’re right.”

Dr. Nicole flies solo to unpack the overlooked root causes behind pet health issues, especially in dogs. She shares personal stories, challenges conventional veterinary practices, and empowers pet owners to seek deeper answers beyond quick fixes and invasive procedures. Nicole highlights how environmental toxins, outdated norms, and fear-driven decisions are at the core of chronic pet conditions, and she offers practical, holistic approaches for truly vibrant animal health.

3 Key Takeaways:

1. Root Causes Over Band-Aids: Chronic pet issues like ear infections, eye irritation, and paw licking often stem from environmental toxins and not just bacteria or fungus—address the source, not just the symptoms.
2. Question the Norms: Mainstream pet care advice (kibble, excessive meds, unnecessary surgeries) is often profit-driven and outdated. There’s a better way—trust your intuition and don’t be afraid to go against the grain.
3. Holistic, Proactive Pet Care: What works for human health applies to pets—think clean food, filtered water, toxin binders, and alternative therapies like homeopathy and red light therapy. Build a support network of holistic vets and always get a second opinion before resorting to drastic treatments.

Quotes:

1. “Less is more, people. We’ve been fed so much bullshit about how to protect our dogs—it’s all driven by fear and really bad science.”
2. “Don’t normalize things just because your environment tells you this is the norm—there are plenty of other parts of the world where it is completely not the norm.
