Podcasts about autoimmune

Wellness entrepreneur and former Mr. America Dr. Chris Zaino joins me to unpack what happens when your body collapses—and how that crisis can become the catalyst for a completely different life.At 23, Chris had just won Mr. America. Magazine covers. A fitness career taking off. His identity was built on physical strength and appearance.Then he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Autoimmune. Incurable. Terminal. Surgery scheduled. Colon removal likely. No guarantee of surviving the procedure. No guarantee of having children.Within months, he lost 60 pounds and hit public rock bottom.This episode does not sanitize that moment.Chris walks through the humiliation, the fear, the failed treatments, and the turning point when someone challenged the belief that he had “tried everything.” That crack in certainty forced him to confront something deeper: responsibility.We explore the difference between symptomatic intervention and root-cause ownership. We talk about inflammation, food sourcing, nervous system regulation, and why most people wait for a health crisis before changing behavior. We also unpack the psychology of momentum — how improvement doesn't start with positivity, but with small evidence that you're moving in the right direction.The conversation expands beyond illness.We discuss autonomy in modern life. Cooking from scratch. Learning mechanical skills. Understanding what your food eats. Recalibrating internal economics. Choosing long-term capacity over convenience.Chris introduces the idea of “survival value” — structuring your days around actions that increase your long-term strength rather than immediate comfort.This is a candid conversation about health, masculinity, identity, discipline, divorce, financial setbacks, and the reality that ownership is rarely convenient.The lesson isn't anti-medicine or motivational hype.It's this: your health is your first business. And without capacity, nothing else scales.TL;DRHealth crises expose identity fragility.Momentum matters more than positivity.Most people change only when pain forces them.You are what your food eats.Autonomy compounds into resilience.Convenience erodes capability.Survival value is a daily filter for better decisions.Memorable Lines“If you had tried everything, you'd have your health.”“I didn't need perfect — I just needed progress.”“You are what your food eats.”“Once you see it, you can't unsee it.”“Health is your greatest asset.”GuestDr. Chris Zaino — Wellness entrepreneur, speaker, and founder of one of the largest holistic health clinics in the world.Former Mr. America turned performance health authority focused on inflammation, corrective care, and personal responsibility.Instagram: @drzainoWhy This MattersExecutives obsess over revenue dashboards while ignoring their own biomarkers.Founders track burn rate but neglect the biological system carrying the company.In volatile environments, the ultimate edge isn't intensity — it's capacity.If your health collapses, so does your optionality.This episode reframes health not as a lifestyle aesthetic, but as strategic infrastructure.Because rebuilding after the hit isn't only financial.It's physiological.

Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today is a very special one — episode 200

The surgeon who spent 12 to14 hours a day in the operating room developed diabetes, uncontrolled high blood pressure, and an autoimmune disease that was eating away at his skull and it forced him to confront what medical school never taught him about actually staying healthy. I sat down with Dr. Darshan Shah, board-certified surgeon, founder of Next Health (one of the largest longevity clinic networks in America), and a doctor who had to reverse his own chronic disease to understand the massive gap between Western medicine and the science of health. We explore why surgeons and physicians become some of the sickest people in healthcare, how functional medicine differs from what you learn in medical school, why biomarker testing matters more than your doctor's "you're fine" assessment, and what root cause medicine actually looks like in practice. Dr. Shah also breaks down the AI revolution happening in cardiovascular imaging with Cleerly scans, how his new AI health dashboard reads your bloodwork and medical records to give you proactive guidance, why Yamanaka factors could regenerate damaged nerves in the brain, and what the future of personalized, preventive medicine looks like when you combine AI with real biological data.

God didn’t make a mistake! What if our sickness isn't just by chance but a reaction to our own doing. What if the human body, brilliantly engineered, fiercely protective, and incredibly resilient, is reacting exactly the way it was designed to react? And what if the real problem isn’t our immune system… but what we’re putting into our bodies? In this episode of Stinchfield, we dive deep into the background behind a powerful clip that raises a question most in mainstream medicine refuse to even consider. Chronic disease is skyrocketing. Autoimmune disorders are exploding. Cancer rates in younger Americans are rising. Diabetes, neurological disorders, inflammation, everywhere you look, we are a nation battling illness. But instead of asking why, much of modern medicine focuses on managing symptoms. Pills for the pain.Injections for the inflammation.Prescriptions for life. Where is the urgency to identify root causes? Where is the incentive to cure instead of treat? When a system profits from lifetime customers, prevention becomes a threat. We examine the possibility that our immune systems may be fighting substances introduced into our bodies — things we were told were safe, normal, even necessary. Is the body malfunctioning… or is it responding appropriately to something foreign? isn’t about fear. It’s about accountability. It’s about scientific curiosity. It’s about asking questions that should never be off-limits. Prevention. Restoration. Root-cause medicine. Because masking symptoms isn’t health care. It’s maintenance. And Americans deserve better.

After my own autoimmune journey, I'm always inspired by stories of rapid healing. Wendy Presant went from struggling with dry eyes, fatigue, and joint pain to seeing major improvements in just two weeks on the Autoimmune Protocol. What struck me most was her message about protecting our kids: only 30% of autoimmune risk is genetic, meaning we can actually change our children's trajectory. She breaks down the gut-microbiome connection, shares which nutrient deficiencies directly cause symptoms like dry eyes, and gives you practical tools you can start using today. Whether you're dealing with Sjogren's or any autoimmune condition, Wendy's spider web analogy will change how you think about managing your health.

Clinical Insights Into CASPR1 and CASPR1/Contactin-1 Complex Autoimmune Nodopathies. Neurology. 2026;106(5):e214403. doi:10.1212/WNL.0000000000214403 Show transcript:  Dr. Alexander Menze: Hi, this is Alexander Menze. I just finished interviewing Divyanshu Dubey for the Neurology podcast. For today's Neurology Minute, I'm hoping you can tell us the main points of your paper. Dr. Divyanshu Dubey: Our paper talks about a rare form of autoimmune neuropathy associated with antibodies, CASPR1, as well as CASPR1/Contactin-1 complex IgG. These patients present with similar to CIDP, IDP, but tend to have more rapid progression, often a lot of sensory features preceding motor deficits including sensory ataxia in the contact and CASPR complex cases and presence of neuropathic pain in some of the CASPR1 cases. These patients, similar to other neuropathies are refractory to IVIg, but respond relatively well to rituximab.  Dr. Alexander Menze: Thank you.

You can follow a solid protocol for Hashimoto's and still feel like something is not fully clicking.Your labs may look better. Your inflammation markers may improve. But your body still feels braced, wired, or unable to truly settle.In this episode, Inna sits down with Dr. Karyn Shanks to talk about a layer of healing that rarely gets addressed, hypervigilance.We explore how overfunctioning, overworking, and constantly being on can become a stress pattern that keeps cortisol elevated and the immune system reactive. Not because you are failing, but because your nervous system has learned to stay alert.You will see how sensations like throat tightness, chest constriction, or a constant sense of urgency are not random. We talk about the difference between a sensation and the story your brain builds around it, and why giving a feeling space for even ninety seconds can shift your physiology.We also discuss trauma informed care, why safety has to come before deeper healing, and how overdoing can be tied to worthiness and performance rather than true resilience.Healing is not only biochemical. It is also nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, and learning when to say yes and when to say no.This episode will help you look at your thyroid healing through a wider lens and understand what might still be keeping your body on guard.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/hashimotos-protocol-karyn-shanks/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping If you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcallFor more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.com

"The internet loves lists. The click bait ones often choose to list the worst of something and choose the best of it just to upset the audience for engagement. I can usually ignore these but this one really bugged me for some reason. I'll tell you the list and debunk it and offer some of mine."

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into a series of breakthroughs and strategic maneuvers that are reshaping the landscape of this dynamic industry.Roche is making waves with its antibody Gazyva, initially recognized for cancer treatment. The company has successfully ventured into autoimmune diseases, targeting kidney conditions. Recent phase 3 trials have reinforced Gazyva's efficacy in treating immune-mediated kidney diseases, building on its prior approval for lupus nephritis. This marks a potential paradigm shift from oncology to autoimmune therapy applications, offering a promising new avenue for treating complex kidney disorders. Such advancements underscore the power of immune modulation in addressing severe health conditions.Turning to oncology, Eli Lilly is expanding the use of its cancer drug, Retevmo. Originally approved for specific lung and thyroid cancers with rare biomarkers, Lilly is now exploring its use in the adjuvant setting for non-small cell lung cancer. This effort reflects a broader trend in oncology: companies are increasingly looking to extend the application of targeted therapies beyond their initial indications. This expansion could significantly enhance treatment options and improve patient outcomes.In ophthalmology, Ocular Therapeutix is preparing for an FDA filing following positive phase 3 results for its wet age-related macular degeneration treatment. Their candidate, AXPAXLI, showed superior efficacy compared to Regeneron's Eylea in head-to-head trials. Despite investor skepticism, Ocular remains confident in its product's potential to impact retinal disease management positively. The competitive landscape in ophthalmology is fierce, and innovative treatments with substantial clinical benefits over existing therapies can redefine standards of care.Eli Lilly is also strategically stockpiling Orforglipron, its oral GLP-1 candidate, in anticipation of FDA approval for obesity treatment. This proactive measure aims to prevent supply chain issues seen during previous GLP-1 launches. It reflects an industry-wide focus on ensuring product availability at launch to meet growing market demand effectively.On the regulatory front, there are significant shifts as well. The Trump administration's renewed pilot of 340B rebates aims to optimize drug pricing frameworks. Novartis has secured a long-term supply agreement with Niowave for Actinium-225 (Ac-225), crucial for developing targeted cancer therapies. This highlights the sustained demand for radiopharmaceutical isotopes as part of precision medicine initiatives.Biopharma funding is expected to recover steadily by 2026, albeit with a cautious approach favoring de-risked assets over broader platform technologies. Venture capitalists prefer predictable returns amidst an evolving market landscape.Now, let's turn to Japan, where Innovacell is planning a $92 million IPO on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. This move signals a renewed interest in biotech within the region after a long drought in IPOs. Financial strategies like these are vital for advancing cell therapies that hold promise for treating conditions once deemed challenging.Gilead Sciences has acquired synthetic lethal therapy from Genhouse Bio through a $1.5 billion deal, further underscoring the growing interest in synthetic lethality as a novel cancer treatment approach. This strategy focuses on targeting tumors while sparing normal cells, offering more effective therapies with fewer side effects.In mental health innovations, Compass Pathways has reported positive results from its pivotal trial using psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression. The success of this phase 3 trial highlights the potential role of psychedelics in psychiatric care and could revolutionize mental health treatments by providing new options Support the show

Your weekly report from Abobolandia is here, it's hot, and it's served up fresh with a heavy dollop of snark. The attacks on the abortion pill mifepristone continue. HHS just said pharmacies don't have to stock abortion pills anymore. Cool cool cool. Totally normal functioning democracy stuff.Meanwhile, manufacturers of the pill are gearing up to fight what could become a national telehealth abortion ban, and for once we're actually rooting for Big Pharma. We won't make it a thing, we promise. GUEST ROLL CALL:Moji and Lizz sit down with Amy Hagstrom Miller, President & CEO of Whole Woman's Health, who is providing telehealth abortion care in 10 states while the federal government plays regulatory roulette with people's bodies. Independent clinics still provide the majority of abortion care in this country. Yes, indie clinics, not hospital systems, not corporations, and they are being squeezed from every direction. Then musician and activist Gwen Levey pulls up to talk to Moji about using her voice loudly in a moment when silence is complicity, and especially as the DOJ refuses to meaningfully pursue accountability for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. Her video, “Barefoot & Pregnant,” recently went viral for highlighting the atrocities of Project 2026. Institutions bending over backwards for predators and cracking down on bodily autonomy is all part of their plan. But never, fear! We have the info you need and the tools to fight back.Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all.

"The Rockin 1000 is a project that started in Italy as gag to create a video of 1000 musicians playing Learn to Fly in order to get the Foo Fighters to come and put on a concert. It has since grown into full scale concerts across Europe. On January 31 the Rockin 1000 played their first concert in America, in New Orleans, and I was part of the band. Let me tell you the story."

Autoimmune diseases like myasthenia gravis have long forced patients to trade daily function for chronic immunosuppression, but Cartesian Therapeutics is betting that its experimental RNA‑engineered CAR T cells can rewrite that equation. The company's lead experimental therapy, Descartes‑08, is designed to deliver deep, durable remissions through a short course of outpatient infusions that selectively eliminate the plasma cells driving disease, while sidestepping the toxicity and logistical hurdles of conventional DNA‑based CAR T therapies. We spoke to Carsten Brunn, CEO of Cartesian Therapeutics, about how the company's RNA‑engineered CAR T cells target the root cause of autoimmune diseases, data from its phase 2 study in myasthenia gravis, and the potential to expand the approach into myositis and other rare autoimmune indications.

Autoimmune diseases and allergies are no longer rare, they're becoming alarmingly common. Over the past few decades: Autoimmune diseases have increased by over 300% 1 in 3 people worldwide now live with allergies Childhood allergy rates have tripled in a single generation 90% of Sjögren's disease patients are women What used to be seasonal or mild reactions are now triggered by foods, fragrances, stress, heat, light, and everyday environments. So what changed? In this episode of Uncover Your Eyes, Dr. Meenal Agarwal sits down with Dr. Kara Wada, a board-certified allergist and immunologist, to unpack why the immune system is reacting more aggressively to a world it once tolerated — and why women are being disproportionately affected. This conversation takes a deeper look at allergies, autoimmune disease, and Sjögren's syndrome, one of the most underdiagnosed systemic autoimmune conditions, often dismissed as "just dry eyes" or "dry mouth."

Autoimmune disease affects 10% of the world population and poses significant challenges. Health and wellness coach Dr Amy Behimer explains how acquiring healthier, evidence-based habits helps her live well with MS and other diagnoses. Shifting one's focus to what one can control to create “autoimmune health” is doable - when approached strategically and with adequate support. amybehimercoaching.com · This episode's podcast notes and photograph · www.mariettesnyman.co.za · www.facebook.com · www.instagram.com · www.linkedin.com

Katlyn Nemani, MD, explores how autoimmune and inflammatory brain disorders can present as first-episode psychosis—and why some patients diagnosed with schizophrenia may actually have a treatable immune-mediated illness. She explains the clinical features that should prompt suspicion for autoimmune psychosis, including subacute onset, subtle neurologic signs, and poor response to antipsychotics, even when standard imaging and antibody tests are unrevealing.Dr. Nemani also discusses the limits of current biomarkers, how to think clinically when diagnostic certainty is incomplete, and why early immunotherapy can dramatically alter outcomes. The conversation closes with a forward-looking discussion of emerging research suggesting that a meaningful subset of schizophrenia-like illness may ultimately be reclassified as autoimmune in origin.Katlyn Nemani, MD, is a Research Assistant Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry and Neurology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and a graduate of NYU's combined Neurology-Psychiatry residency program.▶️ Watch Insights on Psychiatry on YouTube00:00 When Psychosis May Be an Autoimmune Disease01:18 Early Psychiatric Symptoms of Autoimmune Encephalitis02:47 Why Subtle Neurologic Clues Matter04:00 A Case of Rapidly Reversible Psychosis06:37 The Limits of Antibody Testing07:51 Why Early Treatment Changes Outcomes08:18 Rethinking the Heterogeneity of Schizophrenia09:31 How Common Is Autoimmune Contribution to Psychosis?10:48 Network-Level Brain Effects and Open Research QuestionsThis episode is intended for psychiatrists, neurologists, and other clinicians interested in psychosis, neuroinflammation, and complex diagnostic presentations at the psychiatry–neurology interface.This discussion is for educational purposes and does not substitute for individual clinical judgment or patient care.

You are moving your body, trying to be consistent, and still wondering if you are doing too much, not enough, or the wrong kind altogether.This conversation with Inna Topiler and Angela Brown sits right inside that uncertainty. The space between being told to push harder and starting to wonder if pushing harder is exactly why your body feels the way it does. They talk about why exercise can feel so confusing with Hashimoto's and why so many people end up second-guessing themselves instead of trusting what they are noticing.As the conversation unfolds, you will start to see how different types of exercise affect the Hashimoto's body in very different ways. You will hear how to think about recovery, fatigue, inflammation, and weight changes together, instead of as separate problems, and why what happens after your workout often matters more than how you feel during it.You will also see exactly how to tell whether the exercise you are doing is actually working for you, when it may be time to change your approach, and how to start making those decisions without swinging between doing nothing and doing too much. For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/exercise-hashimotos-fatigue-weight-gain-angela-brown/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training atInnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

Biannual Vizient publication projecting price trends across healthcare spend categories. Pharmacy headline: Inflation slightly lower than last edition Total spend still rising, driven by utilization growth and new technologies   01:49 — Top-Line Pharmacy Inflation Projection 2.84% projected drug inflation for purchases between July 2026 – June 2027. Down from 3.35% in the prior edition. Based on October 2024 – September 2025 wholesaler data. Heavily weighted toward highest-spend drugs. Contracted products show lower inflation; non-contract drugs still ~70% of spend.   02:45 — Inflation by Site of Care Acute Care 3.03% projected inflation Driven by: Sugammadex Kcentra Clotting factors Ambulatory Care 2.85% overall, but with key divergence: Provider-administered drugs: 3.35% Self-administered drugs: 2.43%   04:02 — Provider-Administered Drugs: What's Driving Growth Oncology infusions are the main drivers. Key agents: Keytruda Darzalex Faspro Continued growth due to: Expanded indications Increased outpatient infusion utilization Oncology split by site of care: Inpatient: High-cost CAR T (e.g., Yescarta) Outpatient: Infusions, bispecifics, emerging cellular therapies Emphasizes importance of site of care strategy.   05:14 — Self-Administered Drugs: Utilization Over Inflation Five key drivers: Autoimmune / inflammatory: Skyrizi, Dupixent, Rinvoq Diabetes / metabolic / weight loss: Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound Spend growth fueled by: Media exposure Expanded indications Increased patient demand Opportunity for: Retail & specialty pharmacy optimization Margin capture Patient support (adherence, counseling, benefits investigation)   06:45 — New Section: Dynamic Pharmacy Market Forces (2026–2030) Seven strategic forces influencing pharmacy practice: Growth in specialty and cell & gene therapies Expansion of value- and outcomes-based contracting Siteofcare shifts toward ambulatory and home Digital transformation & automation Supply assurance and resilience Expanded pharmacist clinical scope & workforce models Regulatory and policy efforts to lower drug prices 340B changes IRA Medicare Part D negotiations   09:37 — Practical Takeaways for Pharmacy Leaders Use 2.84% inflation as a baseline — then customize using Vizient Pharmacy Analytics. Leverage segmented views to prioritize: Acute vs ambulatory strategies Provider-administered vs self-administered drugs Identify top spend movers and align them with long-term market forces. Consider: Specialty pharmacy expansion Site of care optimization   10:48 — Biosimilar Therapeutic Insights: 2025 Recap Heather Pace highlights: Shift from biosimilar approval to active adoption management. Ustekinumab (Stelara) as defining example: Multiple biosimilars Uptake driven by payer and PBM strategy Utilization varies widely based on: Formulary design Benefit alignment Biosimilars now actively steered, not passively adopted.   11:50 — Why Stelara Was a Turning Point PBM-developed, private-label biosimilars drove adoption. Net cost and copay design outweighed: Interchangeability status Manufacturer differentiation Sets expectations for future biologic launches.   12:25 — Operational Impact for Health Systems Expect payer-specific product preferences. Frequent switching will become routine. Key considerations: Siteofcare mandates Product presentation Supply chain logistics Billing & reimbursement complexity Clinical barriers are decreasing; workflow flexibility is critical.   13:09 — What to Expect From Biosimilars in 2026 Faster adoption timelines Earlier payer-driven switching Fewer preferred products Less reliance on reference product trial periods   13:45 — Biosimilars With Major 2026 Impact Eylea — multiple launches expected post-litigation Xolair — expansion into asthma/allergy and retail specialty Perjeta — oncology pathway disruption expected late 2026 / early 2027   15:01 — 2025 Biosimilars Impacting 2026 Ustekinumab (Stelara): broader formulary shifts Denosumab (Prolia, Xgeva): full year of impact; all interchangeable Eculizumab (Soliris): first rare-disease biosimilar entry   15:58 — FDA Biosimilar Guidance to Watch Late-2025 FDA guidance: Reduced reliance on clinical efficacy trials Greater emphasis on analytical similarity Aims to: Reduce development cost Accelerate market entry   16:26 — Interchangeability: Where Things Are Headed Moving toward expectation that all biosimilars are interchangeable. Shifts responsibility to: Payers Health systems Pharmacists managing transitions and education   17:17 — Biggest Shift in the Biosimilar Landscape Faster launches Larger scale adoption Payer strategy more influential than timing of approval Success depends on: Formulary fit Channel alignment Operational simplicity   17:41 — Final Biosimilar Insight Biosimilar strategies must be molecule-specific. One-size-fits-all approaches are no longer effective.   18:13 — Final Thoughts on the SMO Inflation projections are a starting point. Leaders should: Focus on top spend drugs Understand siteofcare and specialty drivers Translate projections into actionable budgets   18:40 — Resources Winter 2026 Spend Management Outlook available on Vizient's SMO Hub.

In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we explore autoimmune conditions through a nervous-system and psychoneuroimmunology lens—moving beyond the idea that the body is "attacking itself." Instead, we examine autoimmunity as an adaptive output of a system that has lived in chronic threat for too long. Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof unpack how immune response, emotional expression, boundaries, trauma history, and social stress intersect at the level of physiology. Drawing on research from ACEs, chronic inflammation, the HPA axis, the inflammatory reflex, and shame-based immune activation, they explain how the brain's predictions—rather than isolated biology—shape immune behavior. You'll hear why autoimmune conditions disproportionately affect women and marginalized communities, how emotional suppression and boundary violations translate into inflammation, and why anger, shame, and safety are biological—not just psychological—processes. The episode closes with a grounded conversation on post-traumatic growth: what it means to live in partnership with the body, retrain predictions through sensory and interoceptive work, and expand resilience alongside medical care. This is an invitation to replace self-blame with curiosity—and to see regulation, expression, and safety as central to immune health.     Timestamps 00:00 – Intro: Autoimmune as protection, not self-attack 08:40 – Autoimmune, ACEs, gender, and nervous system prediction 21:05 – Chronic inflammation, HPA axis & the inflammatory reflex 35:20 – Boundaries, anger, shame & post-traumatic growth 52:00 – Closing reflections & integration     Key Takeaways Autoimmune responses can be understood as nervous-system outputs shaped by prediction and chronic threat. Early adversity, emotional suppression, and social stress significantly increase inflammatory load. Boundaries are physiological capacities rooted in interoception and proprioception—not just communication skills. Training safety, expression, and regulation can complement medical care and reduce flare frequency.     Call to Action:   Join us for a free NSI workshop Feb 11: Integrating the Nervous System with Precision and Purpose: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/integration-workshop/   Learn to work with Boundaries at the level of the body and nervous system at boundaryrewire.com Sacred Synapse: an educational YouTube channel founded by Jennifer Wallace that explores nervous system regulation, applied neuroscience, consciousness, and psychedelic preparation and integration through Neurosomatic Intelligence.  Wayfinder Journal: Track nervous system patterns and support preparation and integration through Neurosomatic Intelligence.

Send us a textIn this episode, I'm joined by Holly Bertone — a former FBI Chief of Staff turned Emotional Eating Profiler and coach — whose own journey through breast cancer, autoimmune disease, and high-pressure corporate life led her to completely rethink what health and success truly mean.Together, we explore why midlife can feel like a turning point for so many women, particularly when it comes to food, weight, and energy. Hormonal shifts, stress physiology, and years of pushing through fatigue often converge at this stage of life, leaving women feeling disconnected from their bodies and frustrated by habits that no longer make sense — especially emotional eating.Rather than framing this as a willpower issue, Holly offers a far more compassionate and scientific lens. We talk about the behavioural and biological drivers behind emotional eating, how chronic stress and immune dysregulation can influence cravings, and why learning to listen to your body's signals is often the most powerful place to start.This conversation is ultimately about trust — rebuilding trust with your body, moving away from rigid food rules, and developing the discernment to understand what genuinely nourishes you versus what depletes you. Because real, lasting change rarely comes from another plan; it comes from personalisation and paying attention.If you're navigating midlife changes, autoimmune symptoms, or simply feel like your relationship with food has become more complicated than it used to be, this episode will offer both clarity and reassurance.

Dr. Deb Muth 0:03There’s a quiet shift happening in healthcare right now, and most doctors aren’t talking about it yet. People aren’t chasing diagnoses anymore. They’re exhausted by them. I see it every single day in my clinic. People who come in with stacks of paperwork, portals full of results, and a list of diagnoses longer than their grocery receipt, yet they’re still not living their lives. And they’ll say to me, Dr. Deb, I don’t want another label. Dr. Deb Muth 0:32 I just want my life back. If you’ve ever been told this is just how your body is, if you’ve been diagnosed, rediagnosed, and then dismissed, if you’ve been handed labels but never handed a roadmap, today’s episode is for you. Because we are officially entering what I call the post diagnosis era and it’s changing everything about how healing actually happens. So grab your cup of coffee or tea and let’s settle in to let’s talk wellness. Now, before we dive in, we need to take a quick pause to thank today’s sponsor. And when we come back, we’re going to talk about why diagnoses are no longer the most important thing about you. Dr. Deb Muth 1:17Did you know sweating can literally heal your cells? And infrared saunas don’t just relax you, they detox your body, balance hormones, and boost mitochondrial energy. I’m obsessed with my health tech sauna, and right now you can save $500 with my code at healthtechhealth.com Dr. Muth req 25 so here’s some truth for me. Dr. Deb Muth 0:47It was three years ago Christmas that I received my Ms. Diagnosis. And I remember it very clearly. It was the day before, two days before Christmas Eve, that I got the call and I heard the words, you have white matter brain disease. That’s consistent with Ms. And I immediately stopped in my tracks and thought, okay, well, this is just the way it is. We’re gonna fight this. We’re gonna figure this out. And it led me down a deeper path of healing and spirituality and emotional growth. And there were some really difficult days ahead for me because I remember thinking, what am I gonna do? How am I gonna practice what’s going to happen in my life? And every year at this time, I reflect back to that day that I got the call that really changed my life. And not for the worse, but for the better. It changed the way I was thinking about life. Dr. Deb Muth 3:01It changed the way I was complaining about things being ungrateful for all the amazing things that I have in my life. Not intentionally, but just living the American life. Right. Dr. Deb Muth 3:14And striving for more and wanting more and chasing more and doing more, and never really having the opportunity to just be present and just really think about life and enjoy what the Lord has given us and enjoy what’s around me, the people in my life, the family that I have, the amazing practice that I have, and the amazing people I get to work with and change lives with. And it really changed me for the better. And I’ve watched diagnoses like this change people for the worse and for them to sink deep into a depression and give up and. And live to their label instead of living to their potential. And that’s why I think this episode is so important for us, because we all have a choice in life. When we get dealt something kind of difficult, we can let it consume us and let it take every ounce of life from us, or we can allow it to become the fuel that makes us better, makes us contribute to life maybe differently, but in a better way. So, you know, I know that this idea of letting diagnoses lose their power can be really uncomfortable for some people, because there’s people that are waiting for that diagnosis. I’m in some. Some social media groups, and I’m listening and reading to people who are saying, I’m so angry I didn’t get the Ms. Diagnosis today. I’m so angry I didn’t get the Lyme diagnosis today. I’m so upset that they can’t find anything wrong with me. And I understand. Dr. Deb Muth 5:20I know the feeling of wanting to put a name to what you’re feeling so that you have validation and you have power around this diagnosis, and you can prove to people that what you’re feeling is not in your head. I get all of that. But for many people, the original diagnosis is meant to help guide treatment in the conventional sense. It’s a created, shared language that we have, and it brings clarity. But for many people, you give that label and that name so much power and so much control over your life and who you are and what you’re being. And that’s not what the label is meant for. Somewhere along the line, medicine started confusing naming with healing. And today, we have more diagnoses than ever. We have more testing than ever. We have so many thousands of specialists, and yet people are sicker. They’re more inflamed, they’re more exhausted, they’re more confused than ever. And that’s not just a coincidence. That is how the system is meant to work. It’s meant to confuse you. Dr. Deb Muth 6:44It’s meant to keep you dependent on it. It’s meant to. Meant to keep you on medical management for the rest of your life. And by doing that, we enrich the pharmaceutical companies to the point where their whole role is to continue to create drugs that you need to be on for the rest of your life. And the hard truth about all of this that I’ve seen in my practice is for many patients, the diagnosis really becomes their identity. They own it, they gravitate to it. It’s who they are. It also becomes their prison because they only live confined inside the diagnosis. I can’t do this because I can’t do that, because if I do this, this will happen, because I have. They’ve capped their ceiling of life based on a couple of words that somebody gave them at a point in their life when they were so low and potentially so desperate that they needed that name to identify themselves and what was going on. And instead of asking, why is this happening? Dr. Deb Muth 8:05Why are these symptoms happening? What’s causing these symptoms? They’re told, this is what you have, and this is what you’re going to have to live with. And instead of restoring function, these people become managed. Like I said, they’re managed with drugs. They’re managed inside the system. And instead of healing, they’re monitored with this blood test and that blood test and this MRI and that mri. Instead of providing hope, they’re handed a lifelong prescription with expectations that do nothing but decline. So you walk out of that room with this expectation that your life is never going to be the same, that your function is going to decline, your neurological disease is going to take over eventually, you’re going to be put in a home, you’re going to lose everything you have because you’re not going to be able to afford the care that you need. And that’s the expectations of our healthcare system today. When you’re labeled with a chronic illness diagnosis, and for a woman, especially women, this is magnified because their symptoms are told to them as. It’s stress, it’s hormones, it’s anxiety, it’s aging, it’s motherhood, and then, of course, it’s perimenopause. Like that is some major traumatic thing that should disrupt your entire life. Yet it shouldn’t, and it does, and it doesn’t have to. And of course, my favorite is always, but your labs are normal. We don’t know what’s wrong with you. It must just be in your head. Dr. Deb Muth 9:53And this is why women are done being dismissed, why this shift is happening now that we are empowering women to take back Their lives, take back who they are and take back how they’re being treated in the healthcare system. And it is one of the most important things that we can do right now is to give women their power back so that they can stand strong in who they are and in their intuition and fight and say, no, this is not happening to me right now. I am not accepting this label. I’m not accepting this diagnosis. I will fight, I will find answers, and I will do what I need to do to be the woman that I want to be. So why is this conversation exploding right now? Well, there’s actually three big reasons, and first and foremost, it’s over. Diagnosis, burnout. People are collecting diagnoses without solutions. Autoimmune labels, syndromes, vague neurological names, but no one’s connecting the dots. Dr. Deb Muth 11:02You see, when you start to stack these labels on top of each other, one after the next after the next, you know, it’s celiac disease, it’s Hashimoto’s, it’s fibromyalgia, it’s autoimmune. You know, rheumatoid arthritis. It’s. Whatever it is, it’s long haul Covid. These days, no one is putting these connections together to say, why are you developing so many diseases that are so similar in nature, ones that just kind of domino after each other? Nobody’s looking at your immune system. Nobody’s measuring it, Nobody’s telling you how well it’s working. No one’s supporting it. They’re just throwing these biological drugs at you. And if there’s an autoimmune disease and sending you on your way and saying, this is what you have to look forward to for the rest of your life. But don’t worry, these side effects are rare, including cancer. It does not make sense to me that we are not looking at the root cause for all of these crazy diagnoses that we are labeling people with today. And I am guilty of it myself, because within the system that we work, we have to label something in order for you to receive the care that you need, for your insurance, to pay for the treatment, for the tests, for the visits. There has to be a label. And that’s what we call an ICD10 code. And if we don’t have the appropriate label, none of what we’re recommending gets covered for you. And that’s the label game began. The second thing is long haul Covid. And post viral illnesses. Dr. Deb Muth 12:47Millions of people were told, we don’t know why, and then we sent them home to figure it out by themselves. We don’t know why your immune system is failing, we don’t know why you’re having these clotting issues that are happening. But don’t worry, these clotting issues really are not that severe. They’re mild in nature. You’ll never have to worry about it. And we’re not going to treat it even though it’s four times the level that’s normal, because we’re going to wait until it’s 10 times the level of normal to even worry about it at this point. Dr. Deb Muth 13:19And it will take us 25 to 30 years before we understand any of the risks and barriers that have happened from these post viral illnesses that have occurred in our environment and the ones that are in the future to come. Because it takes time for us to study things, it takes time for us to figure it out, takes time for us to train the practitioners, and it takes time for us to accept something different than we thought was reality. And that is the problem that we have today with these post viral illnesses that are long acting, that are retriggering new viruses, retriggering old illnesses like Lyme, reactivating things like Epstein Barr virus. It will take decades before this becomes mainstream. And right now it’s fringe medicine and it’s not realistic. And those of us that are speaking about it are chastised and gone after, but by our medical communities and we are told that we are the crazy ones. And that is how medicine has always been. Way in the beginning, and I forget the doctor’s name, who started just observing that when medical students worked on cadavers and then came into the labor and delivery ward and delivered babies, these women were getting sick with infections and they were dying. And he said, what if we just washed our hands between the cadaver and the delivery? Would we save lives? And he did a small study and he was right. And over time he was made fun of and he was put into insane asylums and he was locked away. And now today we would never think of entering a room and working on a patient without washing our hands beforehand. But that took 30 years for that one concept of washing hands to be adopted. And it destroyed one man’s life because he simply asked the question, what if it’s a crazy society that we live in, It’s a crazy outlook that we have on medicine and asking questions. And sometimes I wonder, is it truly science or is it politically driven? And I think the answer is it’s both. And the third thing that we have is technology. And technology is outpacing wisdom by far. Hands down, AI, advanced labs and imaging can identify everything. Now using AI, but without context, it creates a fear. Dr. Deb Muth 16:08And instead of clarity, without context, using AI to interpret labs makes absolutely no sense. Without context and understanding and us actually training this LLM model, the AI doesn’t really know what it, what it means. And someday it will, I’m sure, but right now it doesn’t. So as everyone is taking to AI to treat themselves and create a protocol and diagnose themselves and understand their labs and know that it is without context that you are doing this, and research is wonderful, but without having somebody truly understand you and the art of healing and the art of medicine, this is going to get lost and you will not have the information that you truly need simply by using chat GPT. Now I’ve created my own version called Venari and I hope that this will be much better because it will have context. It will have 15,000 protocols that I have used for the last 25 years. It will have lots of research. It has all of the research databases that we can connect to. It has training that I have given it using my brain and how I see a client every single day in practice. So when you’re using our Venari app, you will be able to have that context. You will be able to have that pushback and that voice. And not only that, you will have the option then to work alongside someone to help you identify that context that you’re looking for. Does this make sense? Dr. Deb Muth 17:53I’ve seen this a lot in the peptide world, where in these Facebook groups, people are talking about the peptide stacks that they’re using and they’re telling people that it’s okay to use any peptide you want because they’re just small chain branch amino acids. And that can’t be farther from the truth because there are some peptides you would not want to use because they can stimulate the growth of cells. And if you have cancer or if you have a history of this, there are some peptides that we need to avoid. And unfortunately, AI doesn’t understand that yet and doesn’t know that yet. And it’s just creating stacks. And people are creating stacks without understanding what they’re doing. And I watched my best friend do this as she was learning peptides and she had cancer and it created an aggressive sarcoma. And I believe the peptides had a lot to do with that because it stimulated the growth of the cells. And it wasn’t until after she had passed away that we found this journal of hers that she was studying peptides and recognized that this could have contributed to her advanced cancer. And if you don’t have that context and you’re using AI to create these stacks for you, you can put yourself in harm’s way. And so AI technology, I think, is going to be fantastic in a lot of ways. It’s going to have its downfalls. And you’re going to need an expert when you’re using AI. You’re not going to just be able to treat yourself with this. You know, understanding that more data doesn’t always equal healing, and more data can be helpful. But again, you have to understand how to put those pieces together, how to ask the right question questions. And for that, you need somebody who has seen thousands and thousands of cases to find the missing pieces for you. Because AI is not going to do that unless it’s been trained to do that. Vanari has been trained to do that. Dr. Deb Muth 20:01It’s been trained to push back and look at lime and mold and toxins and chemicals and metals and all of those things. But there is no other AI bot out there, LLM that has been trained to do that using clinical data that I use every single day in my practice. And people are finally realizing that, you know, they’re understanding that although this world of AI and technology is amazing, it has its limitations, just like practitioners have their limitations. We don’t know everything. We are not perfect. We are human. And humans make errors and we miss things. With or without technology, we miss things. And part of it is because we just don’t know what we don’t know yet. And sometimes it’s because we have our blinders on, and sometimes it’s just simply because we don’t have the information today that we’re going to have five years from now. And here’s what I teach instead. I teach the seenet last. And that’s what we built it on. Restore and root. Rise and restore. Sorry, that is my methodology. And it’s in the scene at last book. And it starts with healing. It starts with asking better questions. So instead of asking, what do you have? We want to ask, what has your body been exposed to? What symptoms are underperforming? What’s driving the inflammation for you? When you have joint pain and you have muscle pain and you have achiness, that is not normal. Dr. Deb Muth 21:38I don’t care if you’re 20 or you’re 80, it is not normal. And yes, I did say 80, because we are not supposed to have that kind of inflammation at 80. And why are we underperforming? Why is our Brain not working correctly? Why is our mood not working? Why can’t my body push up a hill? Why can’t I lift 10 pounds? What’s going on? Why can’t I recover from that activity? What’s interfering with my ability to repair and heal after I’ve done some things that I need to do? What’s keeping your nervous system stuck in this survival mode, in this fight or flight mode? Why can’t I get past that? Sometimes that answer is really simple and sometimes that answer, it is so hard and so complicated and it is so many things that are causing this body to be stuck. And sometimes it’s a six month fix, and sometimes it’s a six year fix and sometimes it’s decades long. And it is one of the most challenging things as a practitioner to get clients to understand and to be on the other side of the table and not get you that quick fix. It is extremely difficult for us as well when we are not seeing the results that we think we should see. We need to focus on function over diagnosis, root cause over labels. Dr. Deb Muth 23:09What is driving all this inflammation and certainly restoration over resignation. Do not resign to the fact that you have this life altering disease that is never going to change. Because if we find the root and we restore the body, you don’t have to live in that death sentence that you’ve been given of a diagnosis, whether it’s fibromyalgia, MS, Alzheimer’s disease, celiac disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, it does not matter what that diagnosis is. We can change it, we can make it better, we can reduce the symptoms, we can improve your life. Maybe not in ways that you are absolutely looking for, maybe not in a perfect world, but we can change the trajectory of where your life is going. And it’s because you’re not an ICD9 code or an ICD10 code. You’re not a code, you’re not an MRI result, you’re not a lab result, you’re a human body asking support, not a name. And I say that with a little hesitation because so many people are looking for the name. So many people are angry that someone didn’t find the name. I have clients that come to me that are so angry that the conventional medicine system did not identify their Lyme disease, that they’re looking for someone to sue and there is no one to sue because they didn’t find it, because sometimes they just don’t know. You’re asking for conventional medicine, practitioner and system to provide for you a label that is not within their wheelhouse to do. Because the way they treat Lyme disease and the way an eyelads practitioner looks at Lyme disease and has. Has the ability to test differently are two very different things. Dr. Deb Muth 25:27You’re asking for a system to perform in a way that they are not trained and guided to do. Then you’re looking and asking for somebody to place blame for an illness that you have, that you have yet taken ownership for. And I know that sounds harsh, and I know there’s going to be a lot of people that are angry at me for saying that. But I sit in front of you as someone who had Lyme disease, who had mold mycotoxin illness, who had high viral titers, who had post Covid peripheral neuropathy, who had the diagnosis of ms, who has white matter brain disease, who treated all of it not in the conventional world, who has halted the white matter disease and regrew her brain by 1.5 standard deviations, which is unheard of in 18 months. So I can say this to you. There is no one to blame for your lack of diagnosis or your diagnosis. It is life. It is what happens to us. And you have a choice at the crossroad to either take the path of hatred and anger and bitterness and blame and never getting better a result of that, or you have the ability to take the path of curiosity and openness and willingness to change and willingness to walk down a path that is different than what the conventional medicine is telling you to do. And those are your choices and you get to make those choices. But what you don’t get to do is blame some someone else and try to destroy them for something that they are not able to do. That is not what we get to do in this life. Dr. Deb Muth 27:29It is not right and it is not fair. If someone has truly injured you, that’s different. That’s different. But this looking to blame somebody because they didn’t give you a label, Ridiculous in my opinion. And if you’re listening and thinking right now, I’ve been diagnosed, but I’m not better, I want you to hear this clearly. You are not broken. You are not crazy, and you are not done. Sometimes the most healing moment isn’t getting that diagnosis. It’s realizing that the diagnosis was never the whole story. And that’s where the real healing begins. When we look at the entire story, we look at your entire life from the beginning to where you are now and what has happened to get you there. And once we get that, then we can put you back together. Not in the old way, in a new way in an amazing way, in a way that you would cherish your life for every moment that you have of it. Good, bad and ugly. A diagnosis should not be the doorway. It’s not a dead end. It is just the beginning. Remember, you don’t need another diagnosis. You need your life back. And that’s what’s important. Dr. Deb Muth 29:19We are living in a moment where medicine is being forced to evolve not because systems want to, but because patients are demanding better. This post diagnosis era isn’t about rejecting science, it’s about using it wisely. It’s about restoring function, dignity and hope. And I hope that if this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who’s been labeled but not yet helped. Because sometimes the most powerful healing starts when someone finally feels seen.

I'm your host Stacey Simms and this is an In The News episode.. where we bringing you the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. We are less than one month from our first MNO of 2026. Please join us in Silver Spring MD Feb 20 and 21. It's going to be amazing. We're going to Nashville next March 6-7 and we're going to have a great event a Club 1921 we just added on Thursday March 5th for health care providers and patient leaders. All the info is over at diabetes-connetionss.com events/ Okay.. our top story this week: XX   All UK children could be offered screening for type 1 diabetes using a simple finger-prick blood test, say researchers who have been running a large study. This is the ELSA study - Early Surveillance for Autoimmune diabetes, a first of its kind UK study. They tested blood samples from 17,931 children aged 3-13 for autoantibodies, markers of type 1 diabetes that can appear years before symptoms. Families of children found to have early-stage type 1 diabetes received tailored education and ongoing support to prepare for the eventual onset of type 1 diabetes symptoms and to ensure insulin therapy can begin promptly when needed, reducing the chances of needing emergency treatment. Those with one autoantibody also received ongoing support and monitoring.   Some families were also offered teplizumab, the first ever immunotherapy for type 1 diabetes, which can delay the need for insulin by around three years in people with early-stage type 1 diabetes. The second phase has launched and will expand screening to all children in the UK aged 2-17 years, with a focus on younger children (2-3 years) and older teenagers (14-17 years). The research team aims to recruit 30,000 additional children across these new age groups. ELSA 2 will assess how screening can be scaled across the NHS and evaluate its cost-effectiveness. https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/news/2026/childhood-type-1-diabetes-screening-is-effective-and-could-prevent-thousands-of-emergency-diagnoses XX At the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference Dexcom CEO Jake Leach says they're going to launch a new product outside the US. I'll link up that interview, The full quote: "When you look at the outside the U.S., there are a lot of structures that are tiered. Patients have access to different types of products, so we've got a new one that we want to introduce that will add flexibility there. It's based on the G7 platform, just like Dexcom ONE+, but it has a unique experience that's tailored for a subset of users that, today, don't have access to Dexcom." Your guess is as good as mine, but sounds more like a pricing or ordering issue than a new bit of hardware or software. Dexcom will also bring Stelo to some international markets this year. And plans a new mobile app experience for the wearable biosensor meant for people who don't dose insulin. Leach also says G8 will be much smaller and with more capability. but is a few years away. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/dexcom-ceo-jake-leach-2026-roadmap-jpm/ XX A new international consensus statement provides guidance for the use of diabetes technology during pregnancy for women with type 1 diabetes (T1D), type 2 diabetes (T2D), or gestational diabetes (GD).   Organized by the diaTribe Foundation, the document was based on evidence where available, as well as opinion from an international group of experts in endocrinology, diabetes technology, and obstetrics & gynecology, among others.   This is the first set of recommendations specifically addressing the use of diabetes technology in pregnancy – and we'll link it up. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/new-consensus-statement-addresses-diabetes-tech-pregnancy-2026a100020d XX Bariatric surgery beats GLP-1s for type 2 diabetes across income levels. This study was published this month, looking at nearly 300 patients are 4 medical centers. Success here is measured by lower blood glucose levels, higher weight loss (28% vs. 10%), less use of diabetes medications, remission of diabetes to the point of no longer needing to inject insulin, and reduced risk factors for cardiovascular disease.     Bariatric surgery was better than medical therapy across all social backgrounds, they found, and not just in areas of higher deprivation. The ancillary study was smaller, and some of the participants randomized in earlier stages crossed over from medical to surgical treatment, and the reverse. The authors acknowledged and accounted for these limitations, along with the rapid development of more powerful obesity drugs not fully captured in the study. This was a long term study – more than 12 years – and by the end of the study more people were choosing GLP1 medications. One dividing line: If someone hopes to lose 100 pounds, that's more likely with surgery than with medications.  "Ultimately, we need large, long-term, well-designed studies to clarify the best strategy for a given patient." https://www.statnews.com/2026/01/19/diabetes-study-bariatric-surgery-better-than-glp-1s/ XX Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have reported for the first time that a father's exposure to microplastics (MPs) can lead to metabolic problems in his children, including diabetes. This is a mouse study, but it looks at a previously unrecognized way in which environmental pollution may influence the health of future generations. MPs are extremely small plastic fragments, measuring less than 5 millimeters, that form as consumer products and industrial materials break down. Metabolic disorders describe a group of conditions that include elevated blood pressure, high blood sugar, and excess body fat, all of which raise the risk of heart disease and diabetes. The team found that female offspring of male mice exposed to MPs were far more prone to metabolic disorders than offspring of unexposed fathers, even though all offspring received the same high fat diet.     The research team hopes the findings will guide future investigation into how MPs and even smaller nanoplastics affect human development.   https://scitechdaily.com/microplastics-can-rewire-sperm-triggering-diabetes-in-the-next-generation/ XX The FDA has finalized four new recalls for certain lots of Abbott's FreeStyle Libre 3 and FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors due to ongoing safety concerns. We told you about this in November when Abbott says some of its continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors were providing incorrect low glucose warnings. Internal testing identified the issue—carbon building up in the sensors during the manufacturing process—and determined that approximately 3 million CGM sensors were affected. The sensors were distributed in the United States, Canada and several European countries.  When Abbott shared that announcement, the FDA was still reviewing the situation. No recalls had yet been finalized. Now, however, the agency has announced four new Class I recalls.   https://cardiovascularbusiness.com/topics/clinical/heart-health/fda-confirms-recalls-abbott-cgm-sensors-new-lawsuit-alleges-company-concealed-information XX   Insulet brings back it's U.S. Pod recycling program, now making it available to all U.S. customers. The Pod recycling program, offered at no cost to customers, enables users to request a recycling kit online. This allows them to return their used Omnipods. Insulet then decontaminates the returned Pods before transporting them to a company specializing in recycling for electronics and medical products. Insulet began recycling pilot programs in Mass and California and are rolling it out nationwide. Insulet also has "Pod takeback" programs outside the U.S. in several international markets. These programs enable customers to request a takeback kit by contacting their local customer support team.   https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/insulet-expands-us-pod-recycling-program/ XX Up next a new resource for a population at three times the risk for diabetes, but without a lot of access to health information. I The first diabetes information website primarily in ASL has launched. The site includes GIFs and videos on diabetes management and an ASL glossary of diabetes-related terms. This is from University of Utah Health – Called Deaf Diabetes Can Together. Deaf and hard of hearing people are at three times higher risk for diabetes, but access to health information in ASL is limited. https://healthcare.utah.edu/newsroom/news/2026/01/first-diabetes-information-website-asl-launches XX Novo Nordisk ended all work on cell therapies, including a Type 1 diabetes program, in October – and now has found a buyer. Aspect has acquired rights to the assets and giving Novo an option to reengage for later-stage development and commercialization. Novo is helping bankroll Aspect's development of the assets, investing in the company and providing research funding. The arrangement gives Novo a chance to profit from the programs down the line. Novo is eligible for royalties and milestone payments on future product sales and, having handed the reins to Aspect for now, can expand its role in later-stage development and commercialization. The integration will involve the transfer of capabilities and expertise from Novo sites in Denmark and the U.S. to Aspect's Canadian operations. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/novo-nordisk-offloads-diabetes-assets-aspect-amid-cell-therapy-retreat XX XX Lucas Escobar has carved a role by proving that healthcare marketing can be culturally resonant, commercially powerful and deeply human. As director and head of U.S. consumer marketing at Insulet, he has redefined how the Omnipod tubeless insulin pump shows up in culture, transforming a medical device into a symbol of identity, inclusion and empowerment.   Under Escobar's leadership, Insulet launched three breakthrough initiatives: Dyasonic: Sound of Strength, a Marvel comic collaboration introducing a superhero who uses Omnipod; The Pod Drop, which turned the sound of a pod change into a celebratory music track; and Omnipod Mango x Pantone, medtech's first color partnership, honoring the vibrancy of the diabetes community. Each blended creativity with purpose while driving results, helping fuel Omnipod's consistent double-digit growth and its position as the most prescribed insulin pump in the U.S.   Living with type 1 diabetes himself, Escobar brings lived experience to his work, using storytelling not just to sell, but to make people feel seen.   Click here to return to the 2026 MM+M 40 Under 40 homepage.   From the January 01, 2026 Issue of MM+M - Medical Marketing and Media https://www.mmm-online.com/40-under-40/40-under-40-lucas-escobar-insulet/ -- FDA approves an update to the prescribing info for Afrezza inhaled insulin. This is a revision to the recommendations for the starting mealtime dosage when patients switch from shots or insulin pumps. This is aimed at healthcare providers - the updated labeling was supported by results from the INHALE-3 trial. The FDA is still considering approval of Afrezza for kids – a decision there expect by summer. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/01/26/3225442/29517/en/MannKind-Announces-FDA-Approval-of-Updated-Afrezza-Label-Providing-Starting-Dose-Guidance-when-Switching-from-Multiple-Daily-Injections-MDI-or-Insulin-Pump-Mealtime-Therapy.html   -- UK researchers have developed a calculator to predict whether someone is at risk for type 1 diabetes. They're hoping this helps in screening and in preventing DKA at diagnosis. They used the TEDDY study to create this calculator, which right now is in beta form and only for kids and teens ages 8-18. The current beta form of the calculator asks users to answer questions about four factors necessary to estimate a child's risk of developing type 1 diabetes: age, family history, number of confirmed autoantibodies, and genetic risk score. The calculator has been given regulatory approval as a diagnostic in the U.K., and he's working with a company that's hoping to bring it to the U.S. in the next few months in the form of a home genetic test kit. https://www.healthcentral.com/news/type-1-diabetes/new-calculator-might-help-predict-type-1-diabetes-before-symptoms-appear

Autoimmune diets are often marketed as the ultimate path to healing—but what happens when they actually make symptoms worse? In this solo episode, I unpack the hidden dangers of popular autoimmune diets, including nutrient deficiencies, metabolic stress, food fear, and burnout. We'll talk about why what works for one body can backfire for another, how restrictive eating can disrupt hormones and energy, and what to consider before jumping into the next "miracle" protocol. If you've ever felt confused, depleted, or discouraged by autoimmune dieting, this episode is for you.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Savanna: Hi Dr Cabral. My daughter was diagnosed with PANDAS through blood work after i noticed âlot of behavioral regression. She has also been recently diagnosed with level one, high functioning autism. I feel like a detective trying to figure out whats causing these flares. Some months she has seemingly zero symptoms. Then something sets it off (of course the sickness is one culprit causing the PANDAS) but over laps into autistic behaviors. I guess Im trying to ask for help in this mystery of triggers. Also suggestions of where to start to boost her immune system to prevent the sickness in the first place. I feel so discouraged as a parent not knowing how to help my child and watching her suffer. Just as I think I find a good supplement, it stops working. Such as valerian. We were using it as one calming aid and it worked for months and now all the sudden doesnt seem to be doing anything. This has happened with supplements in the past. I did your heavy metal detox and parasite cleanse with her a few years ago. Thnx                                                                                         Yvonne: As a post-menopausal woman, according to my gynecologist, I am not eligible for bioidentical hormones.  Is it ok to take DHEA after a certain age due to ongoing menopause symptoms of facial aging, insomnia, vaginal dryness etc and, if so, what dosage?                                                                            Emily: Hi Dr Cabral, I am currently working through an autoimmune face rash. I am working with a local integrative functional doctor who is recommending low dose naltrexone, and many other items. What are your thoughts on LDN? Harmful, helpful? How long should one stay on it?     Laura: Hi, I'm interested in what ingredients are ok in supplements and food.. for example, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose in baking or in supplements, different gums, which additives are ok? Thank you     Sheena: HI Dr.C! Hope you and your team are well. I'm a 45 year old in perimenopause and would like to prevent osteoporosis. Could you give me some advice on what's the best way to do this? I take foundational level 3 plus added vitamin D, magnesium, zinc and vitamin b. complex. I'm not not taking any calcium supplements except from my multi. Is this a prob? Do I need a special protocol for perimenopause support and osteo? Any advice and recommendations will be appreciated! thank you!     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3641 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

FREE Hashimoto's and Thyroid Type Training and Support CallThursday Jan 29 ,2026 @ 8:30pm EasternRegister here: https://innatopiler.com/zoomcall/Cooking with Hashimoto's often becomes the hardest place to stay consistent, not because you do not know what foods are supportive, but because figuring out how to cook in real life takes energy, planning, and the right setup.In this conversation Inna and Hypothyroid Chef Ginny Mahar talk about how to actually cook in a way that supports your body without turning food into another source of stress. You will see how anti inflammatory eating looks in real life, why personalization matters, and how to think about meal prep, leftovers, freezing, and cooking methods in a way that preserves energy instead of draining it.The episode also goes beyond food and into the kitchen itself, from pots and pans to utensils, cutting boards, and food storage. If cooking with Hashimoto's has felt overwhelming or unrealistic, this conversation will help it feel simpler, calmer, and more doable.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/cook-hashimotos-hypothyroid-chef-ginny-mahar/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall FREE Hashimoto's and Thyroid Type Training and Support CallThursday Jan 29 ,2026 @ 8:30pm EasternRegister here: https://innatopiler.com/zoomcall/
