    Episode 446: Thermography as an Assessment of Wellness

    Play Episode Listen Later May 27, 2025 45:33


    While mammograms are often pushed at age 40 as the gold standard for breast health screening, many women are questioning the risk-reward ratio and seeking safer, more holistic alternatives. Could thermography be a more proactive, less harmful approach to identifying early dysfunction in the body? This episode explores the topic of thermography as a non-invasive, radiation-free tool for wellness assessment.  In this episode, we are  joined by special guest Amanda Allen, owner of Austin Thermography, to break down the science, safety, and practical application of thermal imaging. We discuss how thermography differs from conventional screenings, what types of patterns it can detect—ranging from inflammation to hormonal imbalances—and how it may serve as an early warning system long before a disease manifests structurally. Whether you're looking to support breast health, monitor chronic conditions, or simply stay in tune with your body's signals, this episode will help you consider if thermography has a place in your wellness toolbox. More about Amanda Allen of Austin Thermography:  Amanda is trained and certified by the Professional Academy of Clinical Thermology as a Thermographic Technician. As the owner of Austin Thermography, she provides the highest quality thermographic imaging, using the latest, most advanced infrared camera available, so you can have a more complete picture of your health.  Amanda has 15 years of experience in patient care and takes great pride in putting her clients at ease throughout the screening process.   More information here:  Austin Thermography Breast Thermography International   Also in this episode:  Episode 313 Estrogen Metabolism and Breast Health Why Ali's opting out of mammogram Exposing the Mammogram Myth: A New Era of Breast Cancer Screening with Dr. Jenn Simmons Amanda's Story What is thermography?

    In today's episode of the Naturally Nourished Podcast, we're getting up close and personal with an 8-legged creature that's probably living on your face right now (yep, really). We're diving into all things Demodex—a microscopic parasitic mite that lives in hair follicles and sebaceous glands, especially around the eyes. While most of us cohabitate peacefully with these tiny freeloaders, an overgrowth can trigger all kinds of skin and eye concerns, from blepharitis and ocular eczema to acne-like breakouts and rosacea flare-ups. We'll unpack the science behind Demodex overgrowth, how it can drive inflammation and contribute to skin conditions that often go misdiagnosed or mistreated, and what to look out for if you're dealing with stubborn rashes or redness around the eyes, nose, or cheeks. Of course, we'll also walk you through food-as-medicine strategies and functional tools—from supporting the microbiome to choosing the right topicals—to help get things back in balance. Tune in for the nitty gritty (literally) and leave empowered with new ways to support clear skin and resilient immune function from the inside out.

    You likely have heard of regenerative agriculture or the approach that aims to improve soil health and uses a range of techniques to reduce the use of water and other inputs to create a more sustainable ecosystem, but what if this principle could be applied to your mind? What if you looked at life through a posture of humility and curiosity, asking why conditions good or bad emerge vs. focusing on the outcomes only? What if there isn't a formula to success? Have you romanticized the concept of regenerative agriculture but aren't a farmer or rancher and aren't sure how it could apply to your life?   In this episode, guest Tre Cates walks us through how to be a regeneratively minded human. We discuss how commodidized, institutionalized models of school, the American household, the corporate world have lost the interconnection of uniqueness and potentially the opportunity for better outcomes, harmony, or greater growth. By focusing on productivity and outcomes rather than exploring the conditions, we may be shortchanging our life experiences. In this episode, Ali digs into what happens when we step back and trust God vs. trying to “drive the formula” and how biodiversity in the landscape can extend into how you redefine beauty or success in your home or place of work. Tre is a wealth of information and we are sure you will have some a-ha moments in this one.   Other links mentioned in today's episode: $100 off FAM for the Whole family!

Tune in to hear us interview Laurie Johnson DVM, Integrative Veterinarian and cover all this and more!    In this episode, we pick Dr. Laurie's brain about everything from assessing your pet's constitution to how to transition to a raw or real food diet. We discuss supplementation when it comes to your pet, how you can individualize your pet's preventative regimen, and how to best work with your veterinarian to get the best care for your pet!    Dr. Laurie's Bio: Dr. Laurie Johnson is an integrative veterinarian practicing in Austin, Texas (AcuDog HerbalCat Vet). She is certified in Acupuncture, Food Therapy, and Tui Na from the Chi Institute, and Integrative and Chinese Herbal Medicine through the College of Integrative Veterinary Therapies.   She has over 15 years of experience with a diverse background in wildlife, emergency, shelter, small animal medicine, dermatology, soft tissue surgery and dentistry.    Find her at: AcuDog HerbalCat - Veterinary Medicine in Austin, Texas   Also in this episode:  Keto Reset Program Starts 8/21 Dr Laurie's Story TCM and Assessing ConstitutionEpisode 383: Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine Optimal Diet for DogsSoCal Raw Fed Dogs Instinct Dog Food Smalls (cats) A Pup Above Chi Dog Farmer's Dog Petdiets.com Nom Nom Barking Creek Kitchen Just Food for Dogs Why Consider Delayed Spay and Neuter Gut Health for DogsRebuild Spectrum Probiotic GI Immune Builder Supplementation for PetsNordic Naturals Omega 3 Liquid Herbsmith Heartworm Prevention Flea PreventionWondercide   More Resources from Dr. Laurie: VDIlab.com:  lab that has a lot of special testing that most integrative vets have access to. I use them most for GI vitamins and allergy screening. Much more affordable than a standard lab.  DNA heartworm testing-  I've sent to Canada in past- very tricky with customs. Apparently Auburn offers this test. Any vet can set up an account with Auburn's lab to be able to run the test. Ideal when pet parents choose not to use a preventative. Detects living heartworm DNA - positive much sooner than standard testing. Heartworm - Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. Animalbiome.com is an excellent company. tons of high quality research on microbiome health in dogs and cats and specific research on gut health with raw fed animals. Pet parents can test their pet's biome. I tend to recommend this with all of my GI cases, chronic skin, immune health cases. Results vary a lot. Some pets have severe e-coli overloads and practically zero beneficial bacteria so they need fecal transplants and specific pre/probiotic and fiber sources. Inulin might be a better fiber source than psyllium in some cases. Some pets don't have pathogenic bacteria but they have no good flora so they will also need fecal transplants. Best to work with a vet when this is needed as most of my patients need more support when they are undergoing fecal transplant. I reach for S boullardi /FOS a lot. This is not found in standard small animal formulas. Their product line is amazing! Vax/Titers: puppy /kitten vaccine protocol with titer testing recommendations from Dr. Jean Dodd's foremost authority on endocrine disease and immunology in small animals. One of her projects is the rabies challenge fund. vaccine protocol | HemopetPuppies and kittens need their vaccine series per the protocol to protect them from deadly diseases. We think of these as core vaccinations. We start them earlier in Texas because of the much higher risk here. These vaccines are extremely effective. I usually run titers when the pet has already had one 3 year vaccine because they tend to be better protected and if they are protected, we can run the titers every 3 years when the vaccine would be due.  Rabies is a legal requirement to prevent human exposure to this deadly disease. We have  a lot of rabies in Texas! Every year, there is at least one pet dog and multiple kittens or adult cats who test positive for Rabies in Austin. They are tested because of human exposure and they are euthanized so their brain tissue can be tested :( All healthy pets should be vaccinated at least twice before titers are run.  Titers can still be run but many clinics won't accept the titers. I am rabies vaccinated because I used to work with wildlife. We tested our titers regularly and when they were low, we got a booster. This is standard practice in the human field and may someday be the standard with small animals.  Interceptor dose example: Sharing this with y'all so you can see the calculation for Interceptor (milbemycin oxime) **Please note- the chewable pill cannot be broken because the medication is not evenly distributed** Jax weighs 80 # We convert his weight to kg= 36.4kg 36.4 x 0.1mg/kg = 3.64 mg- this is the bare minimum dose to prevent heartworms. I don't like to have such a narrow margin in case the dog gains weight or there is resistance to the drug and because we can't break the tablet, so I tend to dose at 0.2mg/kg - 0.3 mg/kg (instead of 0.5mg/kg)  So, his more appropriate dose is 7.3 mg- we round up to 8mg.  The 50- 100# dose is 23mg.  The 26-50 # dose is 11.5mg. It's the next size down.  11.5mg divided by 36.4 = 0.3 mg/kg dose so we're good!Note: The lower dose does not protect against hookworms according to the study, so you would need to be aware of this. Any dog with a history of hookworms needs the higher dose until 100% clear on antigen testing.    This episode is sponsored by: Noble Origins, an animal-based organs focused company serving up Nose-To-Tail Protein With Organs, Collagen, & Colostrum.

    Did you know that a 5 oz serving of french fries contains the same amount of carcinogens you would get from smoking 20-25 cigarettes? Join us as we interview Dr. Cate Shanahan about her new book DARK CALORIES: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Get It Back.    In DARK CALORIES, Cornell-trained biochemist-turned-family physician Cate Shanahan explains how a group of eight little-known oils cause the cellular damage that underlies virtually all chronic disease, exposes the corruption that deceives doctors and consumers into eating them, and gives us a clear roadmap to recovery and rejuvenation. We dig into the health implications including how vegetable oils cause mitochondrial toxicity and obesity, cancer, and more. We explore the nuances of the omega 3 vs omega 6 ratio, whether sunflower oil is a better choice, and how to navigate dining out!    About Dr. Cate Shanahan:  Cate Shanahan, MD is a Cornell-trained physician-scientist whose works have inspired entire movements involving bone broth, live-culture ferments, and seed oil-free business empires. Together with NBA legend Gary Vitti, she created the LA Lakers PRO Nutrition program, which has been emulated by elite championship teams around the world. She has dedicated her career to exposing the truth about a decades old campaign of health misinformation and opening the door to an honest conversation about how anyone can reclaim their health. She runs a health-education website, DrCate.com, a telehealth practice, and lives with her family on a peaceful lake in Florida.   NY Times Bestselling Author of Deep Nutrition and The FATBURN Fix @DrCateShanahan   Also in this episode:  Beat the Heat is on June 1-15th!
