Trigger warning: Lots of talk of pet death. Ok, y'all. It's gonna be heavy today. We're talking about veterinary hospice and euthanasia. Specifically, we're talking about a branch of veterinary medicine that helps people make the ends of their beloved pets' lives as smooth and painless as possible. My guest is Dr. Amy Myers. She's a hospice veterinarian with Lap of Love, which provides veterinary hospice care and in-home euthanasia in the Chicagoland area. I actually used Lap of Love when we made the decision to help Chester pass back in June and Dr. Myers was the person who came to the house. So this one's personal for me. Like I said, it's going to be heavy. So strap in. Quick note: Since two weeks from today is a holiday, the pod's taking a short break. We'll be back with a new episode on December 12.

Happy Throwback Thursday Squad! We are continuing the theme of healing autoimmune disease by bringing back a jam-packed episode with Dr. Amy Myers. She is a physician, functional medicine expert, and 2x NYT bestselling author - you may even remember her from previous episodes! One of the reasons why we love Dr. Amy Myers and all of her knowledge is because her journey isn't typical… After dealing with her own autoimmune disorder, gut issues her whole life, and being failed by modern medicine, she has a mission as a physician to share her insights and practices. In this episode, she shares the 5 factors of achieving the autoimmune solution and how hormones can have a lot to do with it! Also, when you're dealing with autoimmune disease, one of the things you can do is the elimination diet. With this diet you can slowly incorporate foods back into your life and see how your body reacts- the most important part is to listen to what your body is saying and how you are feeling. Dr. Myers shares the benefits in doing so, you don't want to miss this one!  Healers and Heal Liners:  There is a huge connection between emotional health and autoimmune disorders, there are holistic approaches to start the healing process.  Don't feel discouraged if traditional medicine doesn't have a definite answer for you to heal, take a different approach.  By listening to your body and what you are putting in it, you can prevent and heal inflammatory issues you may have with your autoimmune disease.  HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website: https://www.healsquad.com/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop my Macy's Wishlist OUAI: https://theouai.com/ use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 15% off Wonderful Pistachios: http://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/   DR.AMY RESOURCES: IG: https://www.instagram.com/dramymyers/?hl=en  https://www.instagram.com/amymyersmd/?hl=en  Website:https://www.amymyersmd.com/  Books: https://www.amymyersmd.com/books  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Happy Wednesday Heal Squad! Welcome back to part 2 of my conversation with renowned functional medicine physician Dr. Amy Myers. In today's episode, we learn about the inspiration behind Maria's real-life experiment where she traveled to the Dominican Republic for healing and the incredible results she got that further demonstrate the importance of taking an active role in your healthcare. Dr. Myers also unpacks the potential side effects of common medical procedures, shines light on the often overlooked impacts of gadolinium, and the value of modalities like coffee enemas for healing.  Throughout the episode Dr. Myers continues to empower everyone to take the reins of their well-being, diving into solutions for healing the gut, supporting thyroid function naturally, and establishing a daily detox routine because even in the face of discouragement, true healing is possible and it all starts with you. Healers and Heal-Liners Conventional medicine shuts down the immune system.  A leaky Gut is a precursor to cancer. If you are someone who needs to be on supplemental thyroid hormone, think of it the same way as someone who needs insulin to survive. Don't think of it as a medicine, but as a hormone that saves your life. Detoxing should not be a trend, or something we do once in a while. We should all be detoxing every day.

Happy Tuesday Heal Squad! Today we are welcoming back functional medicine physician Dr. Amy Myers for an incredible 2 part interview that will leave you ready to take charge of your health once and for all. In this episode, Dr. Amy Myers delves into a range of important health topics that disproportionately affect women. From the often-overlooked link between thyroid issues and digestive problems like SIBO to the hormonal shifts of perimenopause that can trigger autoimmune conditions, Dr. Myers shares crucial insights into our medical system. She also emphasizes the importance of self-advocacy, pointing out how doctors may mistakenly dismiss women's symptoms, and provides guidance on navigating tricky imaging tests like mammograms, MRIs, and alternatives that expose patients to less radiation. Trust us when we say, you will leave our conversation with a deeper understanding of how to take a proactive, comprehensive approach to your health and wellbeing. Healers and Heal Liners: One of the main causes for more autoimmunity in women than men is due to fluctuations in their hormones - specifically with estrogen.  If you have one autoimmune condition you are three times more likely to get another one. Having one mammogram gives the radiation equivalent of 100 X-rays. Melatonin at low doses makes you tired, but at high doses can prevent metastasis and inflammation.  A few alternatives to mammograms include Thermograms, QT scans, and blood tests to check for circulating tumor cells.  HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website: https://www.healsquad.com/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop my Macy's Wishlist OUAI: https://theouai.com/ use promo code: HEALSQUAD for 15% off Wonderful Pistachios: http://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/ Sign up for Marie Forleo's B-School: https://marieforleobschool.com/enroll/?partner=healsquadxmaria&banner=fec190fd Learn More About Dr. Amy Myers Dr. Amy Myers Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ Dr. Amy Myers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dramymyers/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

By embracing a holistic approach that considers not only the surgical procedure itself but also the patient's overall health and well-being, practitioners can optimize the recovery process and enhance long-term outcomes. Functional medicine emphasizes the interconnectedness of various bodily systems, recognizing the importance of factors such as nutrition, inflammation management, and stress reduction in promoting healing. When applied with conventional techniques, these can play a crucial role in supporting patients more comprehensively and effectively. In this compelling discussion with Taylor Dukes, we explore the various aspects of recovery in her brain tumor healing journey, shedding light on the importance of holistic approaches to healing, from addressing inflammation to optimizing restorative sleep. Join us as we unravel personal narratives, share valuable insights, and highlight the critical role of support systems in the recovery process. Functional medicine, integrating conventional and holistic approaches to healthcare Taylor recounts a period of significant stress and trauma in their life, exacerbated by working night shifts in an ICU in Austin, Texas. Despite being previously healthy, she found herself experiencing various health issues, including hair loss, joint pain, stomach problems, and skin inflammation. Despite consulting various specialists and undergoing invasive procedures, she struggled to find answers to her declining health. Her desperation to recover led her to seek alternative approaches, eventually leading her to functional medicine practitioner Ann Shippy, who significantly improved her health through testing and dietary changes. This experience propelled her into the field of functional medicine, where she subsequently worked as a nurse for Amy Myers and eventually opened her own practice. Brain tumor diagnosis, treatment, and healing journey Amidst her newfound health and career success, she received a Prenuvo scan – a full-body preventative scan. This led to the shocking discovery of a brain tumor, despite her lack of symptoms. Reflecting on her journey, she emphasizes the integrative approach of functional medicine, combining conventional and holistic practices to address illness at its roots. Her experiences highlight the significance of thorough patient history and consideration of factors like lifestyle, genetics, and environment for achieving optimal health outcomes. Following the unexpected discovery of a brain tumor, Taylor went through the stages of acceptance and preparation. She also explored the treatment options available. With an integrative approach to healthcare in mind, she sought complementary methods to address the tumor, emphasizing the importance of early detection and intervention. Utilizing a combination of diet modifications, alternative therapies, and stress reduction techniques, she diligently prepared her body for surgery over a span of five months. This proactive approach not only allowed her to explore various treatment modalities but also facilitated the remarkable feat of shrinking the tumor by half before undergoing surgery. Collaborating with healthcare professionals across different disciplines, including a neurosurgeon and integrative treatment centers, she took charge of their healing journey with determination and resilience. Integrative oncology and preparing the body for brain surgery Addressing inflammation is a cornerstone of my approach to health and wellness, and it's something I consistently highlight. Whether you're dealing with chronic health issues or simply striving for optimal well-being, managing inflammation is key. One of the most powerful tools in combating inflammation is through dietary intervention, and this is where the ketogenic diet comes into play. A strict ketogenic diet involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and focusing on clean, whole foods that are rich in healthy fats and nutrient-dense, low-glycemic vegetables. A keto diet can help to rebalance inflammatory responses and processes in the body. However, it's important to note that not all ketogenic diets are created equal. While some may opt for a more lenient approach, indulging in processed and inflammatory foods, we encourage individuals to have a strict, clean ketogenic diet instead. Brain surgery recovery, sleep issues, and the importance of sleep for healing The aftermath of surgery is often similar to a delicate dance, with patients backpedaling and preparing for the next set of events. In Taylor's case, her meticulous preparation undoubtedly paved the way for a more efficient recovery. However, the confusion among providers regarding surgical outcomes isn't solely due to technical advancements; rather, it's deeply intertwined with the patient's overall health status and risk factors. From pre-surgery preparations to post-operative care, every aspect plays a pivotal role in achieving optimal outcomes. In a time where trust in medical professionals is increasingly fragile, it's essential to provide patients with transparent explanations and evidence-based recommendations. Taylor's journey serves as a testament to the transformative power of proactive, holistic care, where surgery is just one piece of the puzzle. The period between surgeries wasn't merely a waiting game; it was a time of profound physical, mental, and emotional healing. From grappling with sleep disturbances to confronting the need for patience in the recovery process, every step brought its own set of challenges and lessons. Yet, through it all, Taylor remained steadfast in her commitment to her well-being, recognizing that true healing extends far beyond the operating room. That's why it's crucial to find a provider who not only understands your medical history but also approaches your treatment with empathy and intuition. Sleep, stress, and self-care after brain surgery Rest is also one of the major contributors to the healing process, particularly for the brain. There's often confusion about why we emphasize hormones and sleep so much, but it's crucial, especially after surgery. When someone finds themselves needing to take afternoon naps or experiencing disrupted sleep patterns, it's a sign that something's amiss. Adequate rest allows the brain to repair and regenerate, facilitating cognitive function and emotional well-being. For someone recovering from brain surgery, ensuring quality sleep is paramount, as it supports the body's natural healing mechanisms and helps mitigate potential complications. Taylor's experience highlights the importance of maintaining a consistent sleep schedule to facilitate deep, uninterrupted sleep, which is vital for the healing process. Without adequate rest, recovery can be prolonged, leading to increased fatigue and inflammation. She emphasizes the need for prioritizing self-care, including stress regulation, deep breathing, and unplugging from technology, as essential strategies to support healing. Taylor also addresses why she didn't remove her breast implants sooner, explaining that financial constraints and life circumstances played a significant role. She acknowledges that she wishes she had acted sooner but hopes her experience encourages others to take proactive steps for their health, especially if they have the means to do so. Ultimately, there are no shortcuts when it comes to self-care, and investing in these practices is essential for optimal recovery outcomes. Taylor hopes that sharing her story and the resources she provides will inspire others to prioritize their health. She emphasizes the importance of taking care of the body, managing stress, and eating clean, not as a chore but as a way to enhance overall well-being. Post-surgical care and diet for breast implant patients It is crucial for doctors to provide patients with comprehensive information so they can make informed decisions about their health. By ensuring that patients are fully informed about the potential risks and benefits of medical interventions like implants, doctors empower them to take an active role in their healthcare journey. Biofilm, which is found on various implants, has become increasingly prevalent. Unfortunately, its implications for implant recipients are often not adequately disclosed. As a result, many patients may not fully understand the risks associated with biofilm and its potential impact on their health. It is crucial for healthcare providers to ensure that patients are well-informed about biofilm and its implications before undergoing implant procedures. In my practice, I prioritize leveraging genetics to tailor treatment plans uniquely to each patient, aiming to optimize outcomes based on their genetic predispositions and responses to various interventions. This personalized approach allows for more targeted and effective care, as it takes into account individual differences and genetic factors that may influence treatment efficacy. Additionally, the support from loved ones throughout the decision-making process plays a vital role in patient well-being and recovery. Their encouragement and understanding can provide invaluable emotional support and contribute significantly to a patient's overall resilience and confidence in their treatment journey. After surgery, it's crucial to prioritize a low-inflammatory diet, including avoiding gluten, dairy, processed foods, refined sugars, and seed oils. The good news is that The Well in Austin is one of the few places that offers such options, providing patients with nutritious meals to support their recovery. Personalized healthcare and surgical recovery After surgery, it's crucial to prioritize rest and provide your body with the time it needs to heal. However, integrating gentle movement, spending time outdoors in the fresh air, and soaking up some sunshine can also play a significant role in facilitating recovery. These simple yet effective strategies can help boost mood, enhance circulation, and promote overall well-being during the healing process. In addition to rest and physical activity, proper nutrition is paramount for supporting the body's recovery efforts. Consuming nutrient-rich foods that are high in electrolytes, minerals, and protein can provide the essential building blocks necessary for tissue repair and regeneration. By fueling the body with the right nutrients, patients can optimize their healing potential and expedite the recovery process. Furthermore, post-operative care extends beyond the immediate aftermath of surgery. It encompasses ongoing support and guidance to address any underlying health issues and ensure a comprehensive approach to healing. Each patient's journey is unique, and personalized care tailored to their specific needs is essential for promoting long-term recovery and wellness. Central to this personalized approach is the recognition of bio-individuality – the understanding that every individual is unique and may respond differently to various treatments and interventions. By acknowledging and addressing these individual differences, healthcare providers can develop tailored treatment plans that optimize outcomes and support each patient's unique path to recovery. Moreover, emphasizing the importance of personalized care underscores the need for healthcare providers to consider a range of factors, including genetics, gut health, immune function, and dietary sensitivities. By taking a holistic approach that considers these diverse elements, healthcare providers can develop comprehensive treatment strategies that address the root causes of inflammation and promote sustainable healing. Preoperative testing and detox programs are also integral parts of our comprehensive approach to surgery and recovery. Again, I want to emphasize that we must prioritize reducing inflammation through a combination of methods tailored to each patient's unique needs.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1=======================================================================VIRTUOSADevoción Matutina Para Mujeres 2024Narrado por: Sirley DelgadilloDesde: Bucaramanga, Colombia===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================18 DE ABRILEL ESTRÉS Y EL SISTEMA INMUNE«No se aflijan por nada, sino preséntenselo todo a Dios en oración; pídanle, y denle gracias también. Así Dios les dará su paz» (Fil. 4:6-7).Hace sesenta años, el investigador Hans Selye descubrió, mediante experimentos, se los sometía a diversas molestias, es decir, a estrés. Hoy por hoy está comprobado que existe una relación directa entre estrés e inflamación, que es la respuesta de nuestro sistema inmune ante una amenaza. Ni la inflamación ni la actuación alocada de las células inmunitarias que se sienten bajo ataque, son buenos para nuestra salud. Al contrario, son altamente perjudiciales.Por «estrés» entiéndase no solo el físico (no dormir lo suficiente, sufrir una intervención quirúrgica, trabajar hasta acabar extenuadas, etcétera), sino también el emocional (una discusión con el cónyuge, una mala relación con los padres, un hijo con una dificultad física o mental, un problema laboral, estrechez económica, confinamiento por una pandemia...).*Conviene diferenciar entre dos tipos de estrés: 1) el estrés agudo, que es el que experimentamos ante una situación puntual y, una vez la situación pasa, el sistema inmune vuelve a su estado basal (¿recuerdas a la cebra de ayer?); este tipo de estrés tiene mecanismo de parada. El problema es el tipo 2), el estrés crónico, el estrés como estilo de vida. Para expresarlo en una frase sencilla: para quien vive continuamente estresada (preocupada, angustiada), la sensación de estrés no llega nunca a desaparecer. Esto significa que su sistema inmune también se mantiene activado, porque no tiene la oportunidad de volver a su estado basal. De aquí a una enfermedad autoinmune hay un paso.La ciencia nos abre los ojos a realidades a las cuales desde hace siglos viene señalando la Biblia; en este caso, la importancia de no afligirnos por nada, sino presentarlo todo a Dios en oración, para que él ponga en nosotras su paz. Y con respecto a la oración, también la ciencia tiene algo que decir: está demostrado que meditar y orar reducen los niveles de estrés. La paz de Dios se refleja en la mujer que confía en él, de tal manera que el estrés crónico no hace presencia en su vida.No permitas que tu mente intimide a tu cuerpo haciéndole creer que debes llevar constantemente la carga de tus preocupaciones; haz saber hoy a tu mente que esa carga la lleva Dios. Y repíteselo mañana. Y créetelo.«No permitas que tu mente intimide a tu cuerpo, que debes llevar la carga de tus preocupaciones». Astrid Alauda.* Amy Myers, La solución autoinmune (Madrid: Edaf, 2015).

Happy Throwback Thursday Heal Squad! As we continue to learn all about the gut we are bringing back our conversation with Dr. Amy Myers. What makes Dr. Myers story so incredible is the fact she has experienced a lot of the health issues that she now helps her patients heal from.

Having experienced dismissal and misdiagnosis herself, Dr. Myers is on a mission to prevent others from suffering the same fate at the hands of conventional medicine.
