About this episode:

The First Lady of Nutrition welcomes Dr. Jeremy Chatfield, DDS of Northwest Natural Dentistry, for a fascinating deep dive into one of the most overlooked foundations of detox and overall health: sleep.

Dr. Chatfield (a/k/a The Sleep Dentist) explains why activating the brain for peak detoxification begins with high-quality sleep—and how hidden sleep-breathing disorders can quietly push the body into a constant fight-or-flight state. Together, Ann Louise and Dr. Chatfield unpack the surprising role of tongue ties (a major yet often missed cause of sleep apnea and snoring), why nasal breathing is essential for brain and body repair, and how airway dysfunction can ripple into everything from fatigue to inflammation.

Listeners will learn how modern solutions like orthodontics, laser therapy, and myofunctional exercises can restore proper breathing—and why nutrition plays a pivotal role in calming airway irritation. Ann Louise also highlights her go-to natural antihistamine, Luteolin, which outperforms many over-the-counter options without the unwanted side effects.

If you’ve been struggling with poor sleep, snoring, mouth breathing, or unexplained fatigue, this episode offers practical, actionable insights you won’t want to miss.

In this jam-packed episode, the First Lady of Nutrition sits down with world-renowned fat expert Dr. Udo Erasmus, author of the groundbreaking classic Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill: The Complete Guide to Fats, Oils, Cholesterol and Human Health.

With more than 45 years of research under his belt, Dr. Erasmus brings clarity to one of the most confusing topics in nutrition—the truth about seed oils. Together, Ann Louise and Dr. Erasmus explore the delicate balance between Omega-3 and Omega-6 fats and reveal why it’s not the seeds themselves that cause harm—but rather the way oils are processed. You’ll discover how high-heat, solvent extraction methods damage fragile oils, destroy essential nutrients, and leave behind toxic residues that can wreak havoc on your health.

Dr. Erasmus also explains why more health damage comes from damaged oils than from any other single factor—and how using the right oils in the right way can transform your energy, metabolism, and longevity. Learn why fresh, organic, cold-pressed oils are vital, why you should never fry with them, and how to store them properly to protect their healing power.
This spirited discussion is packed with “truth bombshells” that will forever change the way you look at fats and oils.

Tune in and find out how to get your oils straight—and your health back on track.
