Natural Hygiene, the original name of the National Health Association, has a long and impressive history. Much of the health and nutrition advise being touted today as “new” and revolutionary—such as the advantages of a plant-based diet, the incredible healing powers of the body, the role of fasting in the recovery of health, and the importance of avoiding unnecessary drugs and surgery—were promoted by Natural Hygienists as far back as 150 years ago.

“You have so much more control over your health destiny than perhaps you’ve been led to believe.” — Dr. Kristi Funk

Our genetics can influence our health, but they don’t tell the whole story.

In this episode of the NHA Today podcast, Dr. Kristi Funk explores how everyday choices around nutrition, movement, sleep, and lifestyle can play a meaningful role in supporting our long-term health.

It’s a powerful reminder to focus on what we can influence—and recognize the impact those choices can have over time.

We hear a lot about the newest health trends and biohacks. Dr. Asa Frey suggests starting somewhere much simpler: the fundamentals.

On this episode of the NHA Today podcast, Dr. Frey shares the seven pillars he and Dra. Joanna Frey use as a framework for healthy living: presence, whole plant foods, movement, nature, sunlight, sleep, and healthy relationships.

None of these ideas are particularly complicated. But knowing what supports our health and actually creating a life that includes those things are two different challenges.

That’s where having a simple strategy can help turn healthy intentions into daily practices.

Pelvic pain after childbirth is common—but persistent pain deserves attention.

In this episode of the NHA Today podcast, pelvic floor physical therapist Laura Bunso discusses postpartum pelvic floor recovery and the importance of getting assessed rather than simply assuming ongoing discomfort is something you have to live with.

Her message for new mothers is important: amid all the attention given to caring for a new baby, make time to care for your own recovery, too.

Not all inflammation is the same.

Short-term inflammation is part of the body’s natural response to injury and helps us heal. But as Dr. Jeffrey Pierce explains in this clip from the NHA Today podcast, day-in and day-out low-grade inflammation is a different story.

Dr. Pierce discusses how chronic inflammation can contribute to organ dysfunction and why conditions such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and fatty liver are so often diagnosed in the same person, with many overlapping factors at their root.

“Don’t necessarily get lost in the last choice you made, but use the consequences of that choice to fashion what you do next.” — Dr. Frank Sabatino

Healthy living isn’t about getting every choice exactly right. It’s about paying attention, learning from our experiences, and allowing what we learn to shape the choices that follow.

In this episode of the NHA Today podcast, Dr. Frank Sabatino offers an encouraging reminder that there is always another opportunity to move your health in a better direction.

Taking care of our health can begin with something surprisingly simple: honoring what our bodies need

On this episode of the NHA Today podcast, Dra. Joanna Frey encourages us to align our daily choices with our natural physiology—from how we nourish ourselves to spending time outdoors, getting sunlight, and cultivating an inner practice that helps us move through life with greater presence.

And that care can extend beyond ourselves. When we’re supported physically and emotionally, we have more to give to the people around us.

How much can the food we eat influence our lives?

In this episode of the NHA Today podcast, Dr. Joel Fuhrman explains why nutrition plays such an important role in our health and quality of life. What we eat can affect the health of our bodies and brains throughout our lifetime, and he also discusses how parental nutrition around conception may influence a child’s future health.

It’s a fascinating look at why our everyday food choices can have effects that reach far beyond the present moment.

You are the CEO of your own health.

In this clip from the NHA Today podcast, Dr. Stephan Esser and registered dietitian Vesanto Melina remind us that healthy living isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Rather than simply being told what to do, we can learn to evaluate our own habits, recognize what’s already working, and make thoughtful adjustments where they’re needed. As Vesanto shares, sometimes an analysis shows that someone is already doing 95% of things incredibly well—and just a few small tweaks can make the difference.

That kind of knowledge can be incredibly empowering.
