The 7 Pillars of Biohacking Health with Janet Benton Gaillard

The Hidden Dangers in Our Food and Water: A Deep Dive with Janet Benton Gaillard In this episode of the Roots to Riches podcast, I, Justin Benton, am thrilled to welcome back a very special guest and co-host from the Miracle Plant podcast days, my mom, Janet Benton Gaillard. Janet has been deeply immersed in writing a book that encapsulates her decades of work in health, and today she shares some of the invaluable insights she's gathered. We dive into the critical connection between health and wealth, emphasizing that true riches are unattainable without good health. Janet discusses the alarming rise in health issues among children in America over the past few decades, including neurological problems like ADHD and autism, as well as cancer and obesity. She highlights the importance of preventive measures and real solutions rather than temporary fixes. Janet introduces her upcoming book, "Safe Journey Through Childhood: Biohacks to Maintain Optimal Health," which aims to provide parents with actionable steps to ensure their children's health. We explore some of the book's key chapters, including the importance of an organic diet, limiting hard-to-digest and low-nutritional foods, and maintaining an alkaline over acidic diet. Janet also stresses the significance of drinking clean, distilled water and the detrimental effects of processed foods and environmental toxins. Throughout the episode, Janet shares her extensive background and credentials, from growing up in a healthy, organic environment to her advanced degrees in psychology and integrative nutrition. Her personal experiences with her family's health challenges further underscore her expertise and dedication to natural healing methods. We also touch on the broader issues of food and pharmaceutical industries, the impact of environmental toxins, and the importance of doing thorough research to make informed health decisions. Janet's holistic approach and practical advice offer listeners valuable guidance on improving their health and the health of their children.   ASK THIS EPISODE ANYTHING TIMESTAMPS 00:00:00 - Introduction to the Podcast 00:00:09 - Pharmaceutical Profits vs. Organic Foods 00:00:43 - Welcome to the Miracle Plant Podcast 00:01:02 - Introduction to Roots to Riches Podcast 00:01:12 - Special Guest: Janet Benton Gaylord 00:01:55 - Importance of Health for Wealth 00:02:29 - Health Issues in Children 00:03:01 - Book Title: Safe Journey Through Childhood 00:03:43 - Increase in Health Issues Since the 1970s 00:04:04 - Obesity and Cancer Crisis in America 00:04:25 - Autism Epidemic 00:05:08 - Comparative Health Data: US vs. Other Countries 00:06:01 - Personal Connection to Autism 00:06:22 - Biohack: Use of CBDA 00:07:04 - Global Consultations on Autism 00:07:18 - Janet's Background and Credentials 00:08:05 - Growing Up Healthy in a Rural Family 00:08:59 - Importance of Purpose and Community 00:09:20 - Emphasis on Reading and Learning 00:09:53 - Physical Activity and Organic Living 00:10:25 - Academic Background and Degrees 00:11:08 - Professional Experience with Autism and Developmental Delays 00:12:44 - Integrative Nutrition and Herbal Medicine 00:13:37 - Book Chapter: Eating an Organic Diet 00:14:00 - Book Chapter: Limiting Hard-to-Digest Foods 00:17:11 - Importance of Organic Foods 00:19:00 - Processed Foods and Health 00:23:29 - Book Chapter: Alkaline vs. Acidic Diets 00:25:05 - Importance of pH Balance 00:29:00 - Plant-Based Diet Benefits 00:33:04 - Research and Transparency in Health 00:35:04 - Pharmaceutical Influence on Food and Health 00:37:27 - Book Chapter: Importance of Water 00:39:01 - Contaminants in Water Supply 00:41:07 - Benefits of Distilled Water 00:43:05 - Daily Water Intake Recommendations 00:45:10 - Water and Health 00:47:01 - Fundamentals of Health: Water and Nutrition Thank you for tuning in to the Miracle Plant Podcast.
