Episode Description
Many were feeling whiplash from the headlines about Tylenol, pregnancy, and kids, so Episode 54
was born. Then, questions flooded in, prompting this follow-up episode of the Nutritional Therapy
and Wellness Podcast covering the most common questions listeners asked. Join host, Jamie Belz,
and fellow NTP, Nolan Gleich in this foundations-first, bio-individuality-driven practitioner and parent
advocate response to cut through the noise with practical, hopeful, and do-able steps for real
families.
You’ll hear root-cause thinking (not band-aids), how to build your “wellness web” of aligned
practitioners, and simple daily changes that can make a meaningful difference—hydration and
minerals, protein, sleep, movement, and targeted nutrients where appropriate.
This episode is encouraging and actionable—perfect for any parent who wants clarity and calm.
Questions answered:
-Tylenol & neurodevelopment: “How could acetaminophen be associated with
neurodevelopmental concerns, and what might be happening biologically?”
-Glutathione support basics: “If acetaminophen depletes glutathione, what foundational
supports (like NAC, vitamin C, selenium) are commonly discussed?”
-Folate forms, decoded: “What’s the difference between folate, folic acid, L-methylfolate, and
folinic acid (leucovorin)?”
-Leucovorin & the FRAT test: “What is leucovorin and why do some clinicians use it in kids?
-What is the folate receptor autoantibody test (FRAT) and what does it screen for?”
-Prenatal picks: “Why do some parents look for prenatals with folate instead of folic acid?”
-Food-first options: “How can nutrient-dense foods like beef liver (or sneaky ways to add
organ meats) help support B vitamins?”
-Pregnancy comfort without Tylenol: “What are gentle ways to handle headaches, nausea,
and body aches—magnesium, movement, chiropractic, herbal teas in moderation, heat/cold,
sleep?”
-Fever guidance for moms & kids: “When is comfort care enough, and what are simple
hydration/electrolyte strategies that actually help?”
-Dyes & behavior: “Why do some families trial an artificial-dye-free week (think Red 40,
Yellow 5/6) and what swaps make it easy?”
-Smart med use: “If acetaminophen is needed, what should parents consider (like dye-free
options, lowest effective dose, shortest duration, and talking with your provider)?”
-Building your support team: “How do I find practitioners aligned with a foundations-first
approach and navigate conflicting advice with confidence?”
