Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Jeffrey Bland, founder of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and Big Bold Health, about fish oil and omega-3 science.

Fish Oil, Full-Spectrum Omega-3s, and Immunometabolism with Dr. Jeffrey Bland: Dr. Ronald Hoffman interviews Dr. Jeffrey Bland, founder of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and Big Bold Health, about fish oil and omega-3 science. Bland recounts becoming involved with commercial fish oil in 1980 while promoting MaxEPA amid the “fat is bad” era and discusses Greenland Inuit research showing high omega-3 blood levels and low heart disease. They contrast whole-food omega-3 intake with highly refined EPA/DHA products, highlighting additional constituents in minimally processed oils (vitamins A and D, astaxanthin) and precursor compounds related to specialized pro-resolving mediators. Bland describes Omega-3 Rejuvenate's Alaska line-caught sourcing and low-heat, chemical-free processing, and addresses concerns about mercury, microplastics, and vitamin A dosing. The conversation also covers PLMI's focus on immunometabolism, a CBC-derived SIRI marker, omega-3 insufficiency data from Fullscript, mitochondrial membrane support by DHA, and Bland's upcoming book, “The Nourished Gene.”

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with clinical pharmacist and nutritionist Jim LaValle about cardiovascular risk factors beyond total cholesterol.

Cholesterol Beyond the Basics: ApoB, Lp(a), Stress, and Aged Garlic Extract for Cardiovascular Risk: Dr. Ronald Hoffman interviews clinical pharmacist and nutritionist Jim LaValle about cardiovascular risk factors beyond total cholesterol, emphasizing that blood tests measure lipoprotein particles and subfractions rather than cholesterol itself. They discuss limitations of relying on surrogate markers, the role of lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep, stress, glucose control), and advanced markers such as ApoB, Lp(a), oxidized LDL, and Lp-PLA2, noting that lowering Lp(a) or improving markers doesn't always improve outcomes. LaValle highlights ApoB as a key risk barometer, reviews evidence for aged garlic extract lowering ApoB, slowing coronary artery calcification, regressing vulnerable plaque, and improving vascular function, and supports combining supplements with appropriate medications. They address lean-mass hyper-responders on ketogenic diets, debate broad statin use in seniors, and cover stress/cortisol dysregulation, hormone effects, and appropriate use of GLP-1 drugs for weight and metabolic risk.

Ep 120 | If the CPSC issued infrared sauna recall affecting nearly 42,000 units caught your eye and left you wondering what the fuss was about, this one's for you. Jen's got the rundown, and a little reassurance. This is the sauna conversation nobody wanted to need, but here we are. Jen breaks down which brands got swept into the Sauna360 recall and why Clearlight sits completely outside of it. Then she gets into the question she wishes more people asked before buying: what does the warranty actually cover? If you own a sauna or you've got one in your cart, this is the no-influencer-spin rundown on what to look for.

We take the keys away from older drivers—why not older doctors? Nearly 3 in 4 Americans battling this health problem—fatigue! What super-agers over 100 have in common—a hyper-vigilant immune system guarding against cancers and infections. How does “anabolic resistance” contribute to frailty—and what to do about it? Recurrent bouts of “burning sensations” on the face—diagnosis please?

Sleep, Growth Hormone, and Autophagy: How Rest, Diet, and Fasting Support Metabolic Health and Longevity: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses how deep, early non-REM sleep boosts growth hormone for muscle, bone, fat burning, and metabolic health, and reviews a Cell study in which UC Berkeley researchers mapped hypothalamic circuits and feedback through the locus coeruleus showing a tight balance between sleep, growth hormone release, and wakefulness, with implications for metabolic disease and neurodegeneration. She connects poor sleep to higher blood sugar, insulin, and cortisol, which can suppress growth hormone, and advises avoiding sweet post-workout foods (e.g., smoothies, bananas, fruit yogurt) that stimulate insulin and blunt growth hormone, recommending protein and fat instead. She then explains autophagy and mitophagy as cellular cleanup processes linked to longevity, noting autophagy peaks after 12 hours of fasting, highlighting roles in mitochondrial quality control, immunity, and neurodegenerative disease, and mentions interventions such as fasting, exercise, ketogenic diets, and investigational inducers like rapamycin and urolithin A.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Nate Wood, MD, inaugural director of Culinary Medicine at Yale School of Medicine.

Teaching Nutrition to Doctors: Dr. Nate Wood, MD, inaugural director of Culinary Medicine at Yale School of Medicine, discusses the persistent lack of nutrition education in medical training. Wood defines culinary medicine as combining nutrition science, medicine, education, and culinary skills to help patients and trainees cook health-promoting food. He reviews diet's broad impact on chronic disease (cardiometabolic disease, dementia, cancer, mental health, MS), challenges in nutrition research, and Yale's approach emphasizing plant-forward, minimally processed foods while addressing controversies. Barriers to adoption include crowded curricula, lack of trained faculty, unclear competencies, and limited exam coverage, though nutrition is being added to Step exams. Wood describes free patient classes, community outreach, research showing culinary training boosts counseling confidence, GLP-1s as complementary to lifestyle change, and his upcoming book, “Food Figured Out,” due in 2027.

Ep 119 | After a stroke left Jen's left side paralyzed, ten minutes a day standing on a vibration plate became one of the things she credits with getting her strength back.In this episode, Jen sits down with Caroline Pearce, a former Great Britain heptathlete and 20-year Power Plate Master Trainer, to get into how whole body vibration supports the body at every stage of life. They talk bone density and osteoporosis through perimenopause, how vibration wakes up muscles that have gone quiet after an injury, what it does for cortisol and hormones, and why nine minutes can be plenty. This one speaks straight to women keeping an eye on their bone density and osteoporosis risk through perimenopause. It's just as useful for anyone rebuilding strength after an injury or illness, or short on time and looking for a workout that fits into a real day.

Concurrent Training for Healthy Aging and the Overlooked B12 Risk of Metformin: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses how concurrent training—combining cardio and strength work—supports healthy aging by building endurance, preserving muscle, and maintaining independence and “healthspan.” She explains that aerobic exercise improves cardiorespiratory efficiency while resistance training preserves lean tissue and functional strength, and offers practical scheduling tips: place strength sessions on two non-consecutive days, add moderate cardio around them, separate hard sessions, prioritize recovery with rest days, sleep, and adequate protein, and avoid pairing heavy lifting with hard endurance work if explosive power is important. She then summarizes evidence that clinicians often fail to check vitamin B12 levels in diabetic patients on long-term metformin, despite guidelines; metformin can impair B12 absorption, leading to deficiency, anemia, and potentially reversible neuropathy, with higher risk in the elderly, high-dose users, vegans, and PPI users. She urges proactive B12 monitoring and supplementation, such as a multivitamin with at least 100 mcg B12.

What if the answer to better health isn't always another prescription?In this episode of the Revelations Podcast, Reagan welcomes back Dr. George Kramer for a fascinating conversation about the history of medicine, the rise of the pharmaceutical model, and the growing return to natural and whole-person approaches to health.Dr. Kramer shares how his experience at Mayo Clinic and decades of practicing physical and integrative medicine shaped his approach to healing. They discuss how medicine moved from an emphasis on prevention, nutrition, lifestyle, and the body's natural ability to heal toward a system increasingly focused on diagnosing disease and treating symptoms with medication.They explore the importance of diet, exercise, sleep, morning light, breathing, stress reduction, gut health, vitamins and minerals, and spiritual health. Dr. Kramer also explains why he believes the mind, body, spirit, and soul should all be considered when looking at a person's health.You'll also hear personal stories about magnesium, migraines, atrial fibrillation, chronic pain, hormone health, prayer, and the surprising ways seemingly simple changes can make a difference.Dr. Kramer explains why he believes medicine is beginning to rediscover some of the principles that natural and integrative practitioners have emphasized for decades—and why patients can take a more active role in understanding and caring for their health.Most importantly, this conversation points back to a biblical perspective: our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and caring for our health can be part of caring for what God has entrusted to us.Find more from Revelations Podcast hosted by Reagan Kramer: Website | Instagram | Apple Podcast | YoutubeBecome Part of Our Mission!

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with functional medicine practitioner Robert Rountree, MD, medical director of Boulder Wellcare, in Boulder, Colorado, and long-time educator at the Institute for Functional Medicine.

Innate–Adaptive Balance and BWH 85 Beta-Glucan with Functional Medicine Physician Dr. Rob Rountree: He brings a nuanced view of immunity that rejects the simple “immune boosting” dimmer-switch model and emphasizes immune regulation and readiness. He reviews innate immunity as sentinel cells using pattern recognition receptors (e.g., macrophages) and explains how innate and adaptive systems interface, with innate signaling training adaptive responses; chronic inflammatory disease is framed as rooted in innate dysregulation. He reveals how immune responses can both protect and harm (candida, cytokine storm concerns during COVID) and why test-tube “stimulation” doesn't equal human effects. The focus is a purified brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) beta-1,3/1,6-glucan (BWH 85, 85% purity), its triple-helix structure, receptors (Dectin-1, CR3), dosing (100–500 mg), evidence for improving vaccine response in elders, and potential relevance for autoimmunity, athletes, and cancer surveillance alongside lifestyle and key nutrients like vitamins A, C, D and zinc.

What if the life you want is possible, but your current beliefs are keeping you from becoming the person who can create it? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Jim Curtis, author of The Book of Possibility, to explore how the subconscious mind, emotional regulation, and the stories we tell ourselves can shape our identity, health, relationships, and future.After developing a lesion on his spinal cord and struggling with chronic pain and mobility, Jim began searching for answers beyond the conventional medical system. His experience led him to study belief patterns, visualization, self-hypnosis, and the connection between our emotional and physical well-being.Jim also guides Dr. Taz through a powerful live exercise to uncover one of her own limiting beliefs. Together, they reveal how greater awareness can help you release an old story, align with a new possibility, and begin acting as the person you want to become.In this episode, you'll discover:• How subconscious beliefs influence your identity and behavior• Why repetition and action help you become a new version of yourself• How to recognize and rewrite the stories holding you back• The difference between meditation and self-hypnosis• How emotional regulation can support greater calm and resilience• Why information overload and doomscrolling can keep you dysregulated• A simple 10-minute morning and evening practice• How to move from releasing old beliefs to creating a new reality• Why the life you want may be more possible than you thinkLearn more about Jim Curtis:Website: https://jimcurtiscoaching.comInstagram: @jimcurtis1Book: *The Book of Possibility* https://link.amazon/B054c3uJJ About Dr. Taz:Dr. Tasneem Bhatia (Dr. Taz) is a triple board-certified integrative medicine physician,bestselling author, and founder of hol+ a multi-location integrative medicine practice.Learn more: https://doctortaz.com/aboutStay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Book a Hol+ Consultation: https://holplus.co/locations/virtual/Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseFollow Dr. Sue Morter: https://drsuemorter.com/https://www.instagram.com/drsuemorter/Get your copy of The Anatomy of AwakeningHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)

Dr. Ross Pelton, Director of Science & Education for Essential Formulas Incorporated, maker of Dr. Ohhira's premium probiotic products, reveals how the gut microbiome affects metabolism, appetite, weight regulation, and overall health. He emphasizes the importance of microbiome diversity, supported by eating a wide variety of plant foods rich in fiber and polyphenols, and discusses how fermented foods and postbiotic metabolites help maintain a healthy gut environment. Pelton explains Dr. Ohhira's multi-year fermentation process and the idea that postbiotics may be key health regulators. He reviews studies suggesting benefits from Dr. Ohhira's probiotics for athletic performance markers, reduced fatigue, and improved bowel regularity, and notes research showing antibiotic-related losses in gut diversity can persist for years. He also mentions a higher-dose “Reset Challenge,” a postbiotic paste concentrate, and an ME-3 product aimed at increasing glutathione.

Ep 118 | When Ryan Schiff set out to buy an infrared sauna for his home, he was after better heart health, deeper stretching, and a little more recovery in his day. What he didn't expect was that the quiet inside it would become the place he wrote his first book.In this conversation, Jen and Ryan talk through what it looks like to bring wellness into your home, from choosing the right infrared sauna (and why heater placement matters far more than the sale price) to the daily cold plunge habit that tests his willpower every single morning. At almost 60 and feeling better than he did in his 30s, Ryan is proof that slowing down and staying consistent can open doors you never saw coming.This one's for you if you've been thinking about buying an infrared sauna and don't know where to start, or if you're chasing a goal and quietly wondering whether it's the thing that matters.

What if some of the healing approaches you've been told are “unproven” are actually backed by far more science than you realize?Alternative medicine and holistic healing are often treated as either miracle cures or pseudoscience. But what happens when we actually look at the research?In this episode, we explore remarkable recovery stories alongside studies showing measurable changes in heart disease, cancer outcomes, cognition, inflammation, immune function, and chronic disease from approaches that are often dismissed. You'll learn why not proven and disproven are very different things, why some holistic therapies receive far less research funding than drugs, and why conventional and alternative medicine don't necessarily have to compete. Most importantly, you'll learn a practical three-part framework for deciding what deserves a place in your healing plan—based on the evidence, the risks, the potential benefits, and what actually happens in your own body.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin answers a listener question about taking many supplements with oolong tea, explaining that tea tannins can interfere with vitamin and mineral absorption; because oolong is partially oxidized, its tannin level falls between green and black tea, so she recommends taking supplements with water and separating them from tea or coffee by at least an hour (ideally 1.5–2 hours). She then reviews research in Nature Communications from USC on how gut signals via the vagus nerve may influence which food experiences become memories: in rats, nutrient-rich foods increased acetylcholine signaling to the hippocampus, supporting memory for food location, while sweetness without calories did not. Over time, high-fat/high-sugar diets weakened this gut–hippocampus communication and memory performance, with implications for obesity, diabetes/prediabetes, and cognitive decline, and possible future vagus-nerve-based approaches.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with integrative medicine physician, board-certified internist, and researcher Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum about his new book, "Pain Relief in 4 Simple Steps."

Renowned integrative medicine physician, board-certified internist, and researcher Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum discusses his new book, "Pain Relief in 4 Simple Steps," and the growing chronic pain epidemic (one in four U.S. adults; about 7% debilitating). Teitelbaum argues most pain is treatable by addressing root causes and describes four biochemical pain types—muscle pain from low energy, inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain, and brain pain (microglial activation)—alongside structural, biophysical, and mind-body contributors. They discuss risks of NSAIDs and Tylenol, diet's role (processed foods, sugar, seed oils), and strategies such as an Energy Revitalization Drink Mix, SHINE protocol, curcumin with turmeric oils plus boswellia (Curamin), omega-3 support, magnesium, B12 issues with metformin/GLP drugs, lipoic acid for neuropathy and burning mouth syndrome, and migraine support with high-dose riboflavin and magnesium. He also cover CRPS treatments (including ketamine and bisphosphonates), low-dose naltrexone and PEA, compounded topical options, and pelvic pain/prostatitis approaches including quercetin and antibiotics like fosfomycin when appropriate.
