My name is Abigail Green and I am so excited that you have decided to tune in to my podcast. I am currently a junior in high school and for as long as I can remember, science has always been my favorite subject throughout school. Growing up in a small beach town fostered my love for learning about nature, our environment, and ways our communities can contribute to it. During sophomore year, it fascinated me when my chemistry teacher taught us about the science of food additives and the chemistry behind how carbohydrates work in the human body. This is where I started to think about the science behind what we put into our bodies and how it affects our health and wellness. After learning about these topics, I decided to go on a personal health journey to improve my own nutrition. Shopping at different farmers' markets became a hobby for me as I navigated them for the freshest produce I could find. Along with personal changes, I also researched different supplements, diets, and read novels about how simple nutritional changes can protect our bodies from disease. In this podcast, you will find all sorts of topics in nutrition, ranging from studies on probiotic foods to natural remedies! Scientific research is used in each episode to explain how important good nutrition is to keep our bodies healthy and in the best shape to perform daily life tasks. This podcast is for anyone of all ages trying to learn more about overall health, health trends, and wants to either improve their health or spread the information to someone else. I really hope that you enjoy each episode and learn as much as I do.
In the 6th episode, I cover the amazing cycle all women go through: the menstrual cycle! Even though today's episode pertains more to women, I highly suggest for men to tune into the conversation. I discuss how to cycle sync with the 4 phases of the menstrual cycle and what to do to get the most out of each phase. This includes what foods to eat, how to exercise, how to balance your social life, and what to do to minimize unfavorable symptoms. For those with uncomfortable, long periods,...

I go in-depth about different studies done on ginseng and specifically ginsenosides (which are the basis of much of the pharmacological and medical studies that have been conducted on ginseng). With the help of scientific studies, I uncover the known health benefits of ginseng.

Diets and Diabetes
In my fourth episode, I cover the science behind diabetes, a major health problem in the United States. I take a look at the blood cell and its different glucose transporters to help give listeners an understanding of what really goes on in the cell. Attention is also brought to the liver as I discuss what the liver does in order to be the body’s storage house of nutrition. In the last portion of the episode, I go over debated diets and if they are optimal for diabetics!

Minerals
In the third episode of my podcast, I researched minerals and what role they play in the human body. I discussed the function of macrominerals juxtaposed with the function of trace minerals. With this, I included the importance of these and incorporated which foods to eat to ensure that we have the correct balance of macro to trace minerals. Next, I explained the effects of Iron Deficiency/Iron Toxicity and the chemistry behind iron in our bloodstream.

Probiotics and Fermented Foods
In the first episode of my podcast, I researched Probiotics and fermented foods. I discuss how probiotics are live forms of bacteria that when consumed, directly increase the population of good bacteria in our microbiome. I talk about the three most common strains of probiotics: Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus brevis, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, and give an explanation of where these probiotics live in our bodies. I also include examples of probiotic foods and how we can incorporate the...

At the start of the episode, I give a scientific explanation of what carcinogens are and how they relate to our cells' ability to function and reproduce. I also include the three main problems that can lead to cancer in our cells: excessive glucose, high levels of certain hormones, and DNA damage. I look at different types of harmful chemicals in our food and discuss which harmful additives are banned in Europe vs. T...
