175. God Save The Bees: Nature’s Best Medicine With Carly Stein

Many of us health enthusiasts have dropped insane amounts of money on natural products that don’t work. Carly Stein, founder of Beekeeper’s Naturals, has found some that actually do.As it turns out, bees make some incredible things. I’m not talking about wasps or yellow jackets (bees’ jerk cousins), but rather honeybees, those benevolent little insects which create propolis, pollen, royal jelly, and - of course - honey.Carly Stein grew up with a weakened immune system due to an autoimmune condition. She got sick incredibly easily and didn’t really have options; because of her condition, she couldn’t take antibiotics. Unfortunately, all of the natural treatments that she tried weren’t effective enough. As a kid, a common cold could land her in the hospital.While traveling in Italy as an adult, Carly experienced an especially awful bout of tonsillitis. Desperate for a solution, she went to a local Italian pharmacist and discovered a bee product called propolis - the first natural product that actually truly helped her.Since that moment, Carly has been a woman on a mission to save the bees and change the face of healthcare.She left her high-powered, high-paying, and high-stress corporate job and founded Beekeeper’s Naturals, a collective of small farms creating completely organic, effective bee products like propolis, pollen, honey, and royal jelly. Beekeeper’s Naturals makes it infinitely easier for us all to find natural health products that actually work. Topics Discussed In This Episode: How propolis saved Carly in Italy How to care for your immune system even if you’re allergic to antibiotics Europe’s incredibly progressive medical methods People-pleasing Canadians The spellbinding, meditative effects of beekeeping Carly’s happiness spreadsheet Our choices define us (not our capabilities) How the pay-it-forward principle can build your business Queen Cleopatra’s bee-filled beauty routine Propolis: Defender Of The City Why we eat bee puke Honey: the only product on the planet that never goes bad Go full beast mode during your workout with bee pollen Bee pollen: more protein per weight than any animal source The darker the honey, the higher the antioxidant content Why the “organic” label for honey is bullshit How to maintain your keto status and still utilize the power of bee products Honey: the carbs Pollen: the protein Propolis: the medicine Royal Jelly: the superfood Avoiding trash honey Bee sting therapy Wasps and yellow jackets: bees’ jerk cousins More about this episode.Watch it on YouTubeConnect with Luke on social media to learn how to take your lifestyle to the next level, plus catch exclusive live interviews & events:INSTAGRAM - @lukestorey // https://www.instagram.com/lukestorey/FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/MrLukeStorey/TWITTER - @MrLukeStorey // https://twitter.com/MRLUKESTOREYYOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/c/LukeStorey THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY:Joovv.
