The Clinician's Corner

In this episode of the RWS Clinician's Corner, Margaret sits down with Ashok Gupta for a deep dive into the brain's pivotal role in chronic illness—exploring how conditions like Long Covid, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, mold toxicity, and persistent inflammation can often be rooted in neural and nervous system dysregulation. They discuss the distinction between hardware (the body) and software (the brain and nervous system), the science and process of limbic retraining, and practical ways clinicians can integrate these approaches into their practices.   In this interview, we discuss:       -Brain retraining vs. meditation/stress reduction      -The concept of creating and rewiring neural pathways      -Acute vs. chronic illness: transition due to overactive protective responses      -The role of genetic predispositions (e.g., detox ability, immune differences)      -The three “R”s of brain retraining: regulate, retrain, re-engage       -Practical considerations for implementation, maintenance, and long-term success      -Strategies for integrating these techniques/the Gupta program in clinical practice The Clinician's Corner is brought to you by Restorative Wellness Solutions.  Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/restorativewellnesssolutions/   Connect with Dr. Ashok Gupta: Website: http://www.guptaprogram.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guptaprogram/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/guptaprogram/   Special Offer to RWS Listeners:  We offer all practicing clinicians free access to our brain retraining program for one year -  worth $499 - they can sign up/apply at: https://guptaprogram.com/health-professionals/ Timestamps:    00:00 Mind-Body Healing Hypothesis 09:27 "Integrating Brain-Gut Axis Approaches" 12:59 "Brain Retraining for Chronic Issues" 18:18 Chronic Illness: Break the Vicious Cycle 26:26 Reengage with Joy Program 32:23 "Commit to a Healing Journey" 36:17 Acute vs. Chronic Treatment Approaches 43:50 "Brain Retraining Effectiveness Factors" 49:53 Brain Retraining for Clinicians 52:55 Clinician Co-Branding Service Launch 56:10 Incorporating Nervous System in Health 01:06:22 "Neuroplasticity Healing Success Stories" 01:10:42 Clinician's Corner: Episode Recap Speaker bio: Ashok is an internationally renowned Speaker, Filmmaker & Health Practitioner who has dedicated his life to supporting people through chronic illness, and achieving their potential.   Ashok suffered from ME, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, around 25 years ago when he was studying at Cambridge University.

In the world of functional health, we frequently find ourselves standing on the uncomfortable edge of pioneering thought and “proven” mechanisms and therapeutic strategies. Oftentimes we're working with tools that are a long ways from being accepted by conventional healthcare and it can feel like we're working in the wild west. And yet, there is a substantial and growing body of research that supports the functional approach. That said, our relationship with research and the latest science isn't always an easy one. Just like with mainstream medicine, it can take some time for new findings to make their way into the functional clinical practice.    In this episode of the RWS Clinician's Corner, we have a nuanced conversation on this extremely important topic with Dr. Jordan Robertson, a Canadian Naturopathic Doctor and founder of The Confident Clinician, a practice resource and database for Naturopathic Doctors to help elevate their professional practice by offering clinical practice guidelines, patient resources, and ongoing training for health professionals in the functional space.   In this interview, we discuss: How to navigate new, innovative approaches that get exceptional results in practice but that don't yet have substantive evidence.   When is it appropriate to lean on the research? And how do we continue to pioneer within that context?  Bias - how do we detect our own, that of the researchers, and how do we navigate this in the context of making clinical decisions for our clients?  How do we navigate the research itself - what is credible and what is not?  How and when should we change clinical practice based on new evidence? How much new evidence is necessary before we change our ways?    The Clinician's Corner is brought to you by Restorative Wellness Solutions.  Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/restorativewellnesssolutions/    Connect with Dr. Jordan Robertson:   Website: www.confidentclinicianclub.com  Instagram: @drjordannd and @theconfidentclinicianclub   The Confident Clinician is the first resource for clinicians of its kind. With a complete database and clinical decision-making tool built for integrative medicine clinicians, there's no more digging through studies on your own or wishing nutrition information was included in the major databases from the past.    You can get a sneak peek of the full power of The Confident Clinician by unlocking access to the AI search tool for 24 hours.

Not only is Dr. Robertson is the founder of The Confident Clinician, she is also the founder of Clarity Health, a Naturopathic Clinic in Ontario, Canada that has served over 20,000 patients, a podcast host with ambitions of making accurate women's health information accessible to all, the off-site ND for the Endometriosis Clinic at McMaster hospital and instructor for the undergraduate Health Sciences program. And perhaps most importantly, Dr. Robertson is a fierce advocate for evidence-based approaches in functional health.    Dr. Jordan is changing the way Naturopathic Doctors practice and integrate in medicine, with the Confident Clinician currently supporting over 600 NDs in North America and worldwide. She could see all of the problems in her industry that were holding practitioners back and built the program to solve them.

Did you know that underneath all the root causes we support as functional health professionals, there's something that connects them all… and that something is disrupted in 20% of the population? In this episode of the Clinician's Corner, we do a deep dive with Dr. Aaron Hartman on the topic of hypermobility, a key and unsung contributing factor to many of the health issues we see in practice - from gut health, to autoimmune disease, to ADHD. It's a connective tissue disorder that quite literally connects these and many other issues - and one that is almost always overlooked by health professionals. In this interview, we dive deep into the important and wildly underdiscussed topic of hypermobility with one of the world's experts: What is hypermobility? What's the spectrum of disorder? How does hypermobility affect other things we think of as the “root causes” of chronic disease? How do we identify if a client is dealing with hypermobility? Most importantly, what do we do about it? Dr. Aaron Hartman is a clinical researcher, founder of the Virginia Research Center, and currently is serving as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Family Medicine at the VCU School of Medicine. He has been involved with over 60 clinical studies. In 2016 he founded Richmond Integrative and Functional Medicine, and he now helps patients identify leverage points in key areas of their lifestyle & health that harness their body's remarkable power to heal and begin living the vibrant life they deserve. He has become the ‘go to' doctor for difficult and hard cases in central Virginia.

In this episode of the Clinician's Corner we have Research Microbiologist and Chief Scientific Officer at Microbiome Labs (one of our very favorite probiotic companies), Kiran Krishnan, sharing some of the most compelling research connecting the gut and the brain. As we all know, we are currently living in the “era of the microbiome”, and there is daily development in understanding the complex and bi-directional relationship between our digestive system and our brains. This is evolving into the popular concept of the Gut-Brain Axis (GBA). Kiran explains how the microbiome ecosystem can influence central nervous system physiology through production of anti-inflammatory compounds, maintenance of a strong intestinal barrier, production of neurotransmitters, regulation of stress response, and vagal nerve stimulation.
