Today, Heather Creekmore explores the concept of sustainability in our approach to weight loss, health, and spiritual growth. She unpacks how our cultural obsession with quick fixes and urgent physical transformation is often driven by fear, impatience, and even greed—rather than lasting, loving stewardship of our bodies. Heather Creekmore shares her own experiences with unsustainable health practices, lessons learned through her journey, and why so many common diet strategies fizzle out in the long run. She encourages listeners to shift focus toward habits that will support lifelong health—mentally, physically, and spiritually—rather than falling for every “latest trend” diet that comes along. Key topics in this episode: What does true sustainability look like in health and weight loss? Why rapid body change can often signal unsustainable and unhealthy patterns The dangers of fear, urgency, greed, and lust driving our self-care choices How to align your goals with patience, love, and long-term thinking Questions to ask yourself: Is this habit something I can keep up for life? How to invite God into your health and wellness decisions rather than just following the cultural noise Take the Next Step: Join the 40 Day Journey! Are you ready to rethink your approach and start building sustainable, God-honoring habits around your body image and health? Heather Creekmore is inviting you to join her 40 Day Journey beginning right after Easter in April! This journey dives deep into sustainable practices for your mind, body, and soul while helping you process body image from a biblical perspective. You’ll find actionable guides, daily support, and a like-minded community ready to walk this out together.
In this episode of the Health Coach Academy Podcast, we sit down with therapist, entrepreneur, and somatic practitioner Helen Malinowski to explore how she transformed her private practice from $150,000 to over $1 million in revenue in just five years. Helen shares the powerful story of how burnout forced her to rethink the traditional one-on-one service model and ultimately led her to build a thriving multi-clinician practice with nearly 30 clinicians and multiple locations. If you're a health coach, therapist, or wellness practitioner, this conversation will challenge the belief that helping professions must equal exhaustion. Helen explains how listening to your nervous system, setting boundaries, and building community can unlock both impact and financial success. You'll also learn why expanding beyond the solo practitioner model may be the key to building a sustainable and scalable health or coaching business. What You'll Learn in This Episode How Helen grew her practice from $150K to $1M in five years The burnout trap many therapists and health coaches fall into Why the traditional one-on-one client model isn't sustainable How nervous system regulation can guide better business decisions The mindset shift that allowed Helen to start saying no to clients How building a team and group practice created freedom and impact Why community and mentorship are essential for practitioners Marketing strategies that actually work for wellness professionals The power of local networking with doctors, chiropractors, and other providers How health coaches fit into the holistic healthcare ecosystem Helen Malinowski's Origin Story Helen grew up in a family of research scientists in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and originally believed science was her only career path. But after discovering psychology and later social work, she found her calling helping people through counseling and trauma therapy. As her private practice grew, so did the demands. Like many practitioners, Helen struggled with: Business skills Marketing and finances Boundaries with clients Overwork and emotional fatigue By 2019, she realized something was wrong. She was experiencing classic burnout symptoms: Exhaustion Irritability Dreading work Feeling overwhelmed Ironically, she was burning out doing the work she loved most. The Turning Point: Discovering Somatic Experiencing Helen enrolled in somatic experiencing training, initially believing it would help her clients. Instead, it changed her life. Through this training she began to understand: How the nervous system affects decision making Why burnout happens in helping professions How to listen to internal signals of stress and capacity This new awareness helped her build a practice that aligned with her energy, values, and nervous system regulation. Why One-on-One Coaching Can Lead to Burnout One of the biggest insights Helen shares is that many practitioners get stuck in the one-on-one client model. While rewarding, it has limits: Your time is capped Your emotional energy gets drained Growth becomes impossible without burnout Helen realized she couldn't continue saying yes to every client. Instead of turning people away, she restructured her entire business model. Today, her practice includes: Nearly 30 clinicians Multiple therapy locations A dedicated children's mental health center Occupational therapy services Coaching and practitioner training programs The Power of Listening to Your Nervous System A major theme of this episode is body awareness in business decision-making. Helen explains that many professionals rely purely on logic and numbers. But your body often knows the answer first. She recommends asking: Does this opportunity feel expansive or draining? Does my body say yes… or hesitate? Am I making this decision from alignment or obligation? Learning to pause and check in with your nervous system can transform both business strategy and personal wellbeing. Marketing Strategies That Work for Wellness Practitioners Helen also breaks down the different marketing strategies she uses for her businesses. For her therapy practice: Psychology Today listings Insurance panels Local physician referrals Networking with healthcare providers Relationships with chiropractors, acupuncturists, and pediatricians For her coaching and training programs: Instagram content Blogs and educational articles Email newsletters Free workshops and trainings Online community building The key takeaway? Visibility + value = trust. Consistently sharing helpful content builds long-term relationships with your audience. Why Health Coaches Are Critical in the Healthcare Ecosystem One of the most important discussions in this episode is the role of health coaches in trauma-informed care. Helen explains that many therapy clients struggle with physical health issues related to stress and trauma, including: Chronic illness Autoimmune conditions Cardiovascular disease Hormonal imbalances Nervous system dysregulation While therapists address emotional healing, health coaches help clients implement daily lifestyle changes that support recovery. This makes health coaches an essential partner in a holistic health ecosystem. Advice for Health Coaches and Wellness Entrepreneurs Helen's biggest advice for practitioners: Slow down before making big business decisions. Instead of rushing into growth, ask: Is this aligned with my energy and values? Does this support my long-term sustainability? Am I building something that truly supports my life? When your business aligns with your nervous system, growth becomes more natural and sustainable. Helen's story is proof that helping people and building a profitable business are not mutually exclusive. By trusting your body, building the right team, and surrounding yourself with supportive community, it's possible to create a practice that flourishes financially while protecting your wellbeing. If you're a health coach, therapist, or wellness professional, this episode will inspire you to rethink what's possible in your career.

I see you... you are a high-functioning Christian woman tired of powering through constant fatigue, brain fog, autoimmune flares, and that deep exhaustion no amount of coffee fixes. You're driven, faith-filled, and called to impact your family and kingdom...yet overwhelm, confusion, and non-answers from the mainstream medical model leave you feeling stuck, dismissed, and questioning what's truly needed for you to truly have good health. In this powerful episode of Treasured Wellness, Dr. Ben Rall (host of Designed to Heal podcast) joins me to remind us of God's intentional design for healing in body, mind, and spirit. We explore why the church often mirrors the world's sickness levels, the spiritual roots of disease (especially fear that steals our power, love, and sound mind -2 Timothy 1:7), and the deceptions keeping so many women trapped in cycles of fatigue and brain fog. Dr. Ben pulls back the veil on conventional health pushes...including vaccines and prescriptions... and equips you with biblical discernment to navigate lies, fear, and misinformation. You'll discover the most important step right now if you're fed up and ready to OWN your health: reclaiming wisdom from the One who fearfully and wonderfully made you. Our bodies are designed to heal when we give them what they truly need. Good health is your birthright in Christ Jesus and it has generational impact for God's glory. You know I'm passionate about YOU being your own best advocate because God has given you His Spirit of power, not fear.

Today, we are bringing you a live episode recorded in Sydney that celebrates the strength, resilience and brilliance of women everywhere. This conversation is our tribute to that journey and a vital call to action to finally close the gender pain gap. Why are women consistently told that pain is "part and parcel" of the female experience? Following our chat with Kate Walsh, her and Claire are joined on the sofa for a panel discussion with four leading experts; PROFESSOR CAROLINE GARGETT: A world-leading reproductive and stem cell science researcher and Group Head of Endometrial Stem Cell Biology Laboratory with 28 years research experience in gynaecological research with a focus on endometriosis and developing a cell based therapy for Pelvic Organ Prolapse. THEA BAKER: Thea has treated women with complex trauma and co-morbid pain conditions as a Psychotherapist in Australia for over 10 years. She also has her own lived experience of chronic pain herself from endometriosis and osteoarthritis A/ PROFESSOR SUSAN EVANS: A specialist, researcher, educator, innovator, advocate and CEO in pelvic pain for over 20 years. As a gynaecologist, laparoscopic surgeon and pain physician, A/Prof Susan Evans Co-founded the Pelvic Pain Foundation of Australia, co-developed the Periods, Pain and Endometriosis Schools Program, and is now working with Alyra Biotech developing innovative new treatments for pelvic pain. PROFESSOR MARIA FIATARONE SINGH: A geriatrician whose research, clinical, and teaching career has focused on the integration of medicine, exercise physiology, and nutrition as a means to improve health status and quality of life across the lifespan. (Physical & Metabolic Longevity) We dive deep into why women’s symptoms are still frequently dismissed as psychological, the revolutionary potential of menstrual fluid in diagnostics and why "looking normal" on a scan doesn't mean the pain isn't real. From the first period to the complexities of ageing, our experts provide a roadmap for women to reclaim their health and advocate for their own bodies. We explore the "Pain Scale Paradox", revealing why the traditional 1-10 measurement fails those with chronic conditions, while unpacking the biological "amplifier" that predisposes women to persistent pain. It’s time to strip away the historical stigma of "hysteria" and replace it with a medical system that finally validates the female experience!

Women were were excluded from federally funded medical research until 1993. Health journalist Meghan Rabbitt interviewed over 100 female experts to create a manifesto for women's healthcare everything from why we're still learning anatomy named after dead men to why your gynecologic history affects your heart disease risk decades later.Meghan is a health journalist who's been translating complex medical topics into accessible language for 25 years. She's spent her career asking doctors the questions patients want answered and helping women understand their bodies better. When Maria Shriver asked her to write a manifesto about women's healthcare, even with all that experience, she was shocked by what she learned. Women weren't included in federally funded medical research until 1993. Autoimmune diseases disproportionately affect women, but we still don't know why. Heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined, yet awareness is declining.We talk about what it means to become the CEO of your own healthcare and why that mindset matters. Meghan shares practical strategies for making the most of short doctor visits and navigating the flood of health information online. We discuss why shame keeps women from getting care, why we need to stop normalizing pain, and how perimenopause can be a window of opportunity instead of something to fear. The conversation covers everything from why your pregnancy complications matter for heart health decades later to why medical devices are still designed without women's bodies in mind.HighlightsMost doctors don't proactively discuss lifetime breast cancer risk with patients.70% of autoimmune disease patients are female, but research is severely underfunded.Anatomical eponyms like "fallopian tubes" actually increase cognitive load for medical students.Making a prioritized symptom list before appointments helps maximize limited doctor visit time.80% of the 10 million Americans with osteoporosis are women.Gynecologic history like preeclampsia impacts heart disease risk decades later.Start thinking of yourself as the CEO of your own healthcare. That means educating yourself, showing up to appointments with a prioritized list of what matters most to you, and stopping the apologizing. Your body isn't something to be ashamed of. Your symptoms aren't an inconvenience. If you're a woman of color facing additional barriers in the healthcare system, bring someone with you to appointments who can advocate alongside you.Make sure to subscribe to the podcast and share this episode with any woman who needs permission to stop normalizing pain and start demanding better care.Get in Touch with Meghan:WebsiteInstagramSubstackLinkedInGet in Touch with Me: WebsiteInstagramYoutubeSubstack
In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Shivani Gupta to talk about Ayurveda, inflammation, and what this 5,000 year old system of medicine reveals about Hashimoto's and thyroid health.There are moments in clinical practice where you realize the conversation around inflammation has been too narrow. We measure antibodies. We look at gut markers. We talk about nutrients. But there is another layer that often gets overlooked, the way daily rhythm and nervous system patterns shape immune behavior.Ayurveda does not separate digestion from stress or stress from immune signaling. It looks at the entire terrain. It asks how your constitution influences the way you burn through energy, hold onto it, or stagnate it. It challenges the idea that everyone should follow the same rules for healing.What I appreciate about this discussion is that it does not add complexity. It adds perspective. It reframes inflammation as something influenced by pace, timing, and consistency, not just inputs.If you have ever felt like you were doing everything on paper and still missing something deeper, this episode will help you see your thyroid in a more integrated way.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/ayurveda-inflammation-hashimotos-thyroid-dr-shivani-gupta/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

In this episode of Joy Lab, we'll explore the Sixth Gate of Grief: the grief we carry for harm done to ourselves and others. We'll draw on the expanded framework of Francis Weller's gates of grief to unpack why this gate is one of the most challenging and most liberating to work with. It's important to note that this isn't about guilt-tripping or self-flagellation. It's about honest reckoning, releasing unconscious burdens, and reclaiming inner freedom. Because grief (not shame) is what actually moves us toward healing, repair, and becoming people who cause less harm. This episode is part of a 10-part series on grief.

Full transcript available here Like and follow Joy Lab on Socials: Instagram TikTok Linkedin Watch on YouTube Key moments: [00:00:00] — Sixth Gate: Grief for Harm Done, popularized by Sophy Banks and Azul Thomé alongside Weller's original framework. [00:01:00] — What this gate includes: harmful thought patterns like corrosive self-talk, choices that felt necessary but caused harm, inaction when we could have intervened, and participation in collective harms like racism, classism, ableism, and environmental destruction. [00:02:00] — A critical disclaimer: this gate asks us to see these harms — not soak in them. Grief is meant to flow through us, not become a stagnant pool. Henry emphasizes the difference between grieving well and getting stuck. [00:03:30] — Three reasons this gate is especially challenging: (1) the scope of harm we participate in is nearly infinite; (2) the thin line between acknowledging harm and collapsing into shame and guilt; (3) the defensiveness this topic can trigger — and how to touch that lightly and let it go. [00:05:00] — This is about inner freedom, not atonement. Genuine inner freedom requires an honest look at how we affect those around us. [00:05:30] — Aimee and Henry on the word releasing vs. "getting over it." You can leap over a thing and still be carrying it. Releasing requires first being able to see what's there. [00:06:00] — Quote from Sabaa Tahir: two kinds of guilt — the kind that drowns you until you're useless, and the kind that fires your soul to purpose. Working with grief can move us from one to the other. [00:06:30] — Introduction of moral injury: the psychological wound that comes from betraying our own values, or witnessing others do it. Research shows moral injury is more strongly associated with PTSD symptoms than direct exposure to danger. [00:07:30] — Moral injury shows up everywhere — not just in war. Healthcare rationing, kids being detained, someone cutting you off in traffic. Untended grief in this gate can mean we snap at small things because they echo larger unprocessed wounds. [00:09:00] — Henry: grief helps us heal these deep, often invisible wounds. [00:10:00] — How harm to others haunts us for years, even decades. As social creatures, we're wired to repair harm and strengthen bonds. When we don't act, buried harm turns into guilt and shame — and shame isolates. Grief, by contrast, calls us into community and toward repair. [00:11:00] — Autoimmune disease analogy: shame is the emotional equivalent of an immune system attacking itself. A healthy response addresses the problem; an overreaction causes more damage than the original harm. [00:13:00] — Turning to harms we cause ourselves: negative self-talk, lifestyle choices, addictions. No matter the cause, we deserve healing from it. The challenge: in this case, we are both perpetrator and victim. [00:14:00] — Grief opens us up rather than closing us down. It can hold both the hurt experienced and the compassion for causing that pain. [00:14:30] — Connection to post-traumatic growth: not about psychological comfort, but awakening. Grief is the ride between pain and gain — and there's no bypassing it. [00:15:00] — Henry on the role of equanimity (this month's Element of Joy): balance is what allows us to hold two seemingly opposing truths at once. You fully acknowledge the harm and hold yourself with compassion. Neither minimizing nor drowning. [00:16:30] — Quote from Sister Helen Prejean (Dead Man Walking): "People are more than the worst thing they've done." The goal isn't no harm — it's less harm. And believing that you are more than your worst moment fosters humility, compassion, and healing that ripples outward to others. [00:17:30] — Preview of the next episode: the Seventh Gate — Trauma, and how grief and trauma intersect in the work of healing. [00:17:45] — Closing wisdom from Maya Angelou: "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better."

I had no idea my blink rate drops from 21 times per minute to just 7 when I'm on my computer! Dr. Pam Theriot, a dry eye specialist, opened my eyes to how our digital world is quietly damaging our vision, and what we can do about it. In this conversation, she breaks down her 4-step daily eye care protocol, shares essential makeup rules, and explains why people with autoimmune conditions need extra protection. We cover everything from recognizing symptoms beyond just "dryness" to nighttime strategies that can prevent long-term damage. This isn't just about comfort - it's about protecting the one part of our body we can't replace. For the complete show notes, links and transcripts, visit inspiredliving.show/233
Send a textIn this Friday 5 episode of The Autoimmune RESET Podcast, I'm talking about something that many people with autoimmune conditions experience, but that isn't always discussed in enough depth — hand health.For many individuals, the hands are one of the first places symptoms show up. Cold fingers, colour changes, stiffness, pain, weakness, or reduced dexterity can all reflect deeper processes happening in the body, including circulation instability, nervous system dysregulation, connective tissue vulnerability, or immune-driven inflammation. Conditions such as Raynaud's phenomenon, inflammatory arthritis, hypermobility syndromes, and autoimmune connective tissue disorders often manifest visibly in the hands long before other symptoms fully develop.In this episode, I share both clinical insights and personal observations, alongside five practical strategies that can make a meaningful difference. We explore how stabilising circulation supports tissue health, why nervous system regulation plays a central role in blood flow, and how connective tissue and joint support influence long-term hand function. I also discuss the importance of warmth, sensory stimulation, and daily micro-practices that help maintain mobility and comfort.This conversation emphasises that supporting hand health is not only about external measures — creams, braces, or heat — but also about addressing internal physiology, including nutrient status, inflammation, and nervous system balance.As always, the goal is not perfection, but consistency. Small daily practices layered over time can create significant improvements.If you experience persistent pain, colour changes, numbness, or reduced function in your hands, it is always worth investigating underlying drivers rather than simply accepting symptoms as inevitable.Key TakeawaysThe hands are often an early indicator of immune and connective tissue issues.Circulation stability is fundamental for tissue health and comfort.Nervous system regulation directly influences blood flow to the extremities.Supporting connective tissue and joints improves strength and resilience.Warmth and sensory stimulation can significantly improve microcirculation.Consistent daily care matters more than occasional interventions.Persistent symptoms should prompt deeper investigation.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Hand Health and Autoimmune Clues 02:25 Stabilising Circulation 05:49 Nervous System Regulation 07:49 Supporting Connective Tissue and Joints 10:41 Keeping Hands Warm 12:07 Sensory Tools for Microcirculation 14:24 Final Thoughts and Support→ I personally use and recommend Shakti, because it's one of the simplest ways to shift out of “fight or flight” and into a calmer state — supporting relaxation, body awareness, and better sleep quality over time.Use my code: VJ10 for 10% off at checkout: https://www.shaktimat.co.uk/vj
In this episode, Nancy Griffin welcomes author and SuperAgerSusan Salinger to discuss the hidden barriers women face regarding health and aging. Sue shares her journey of research, personal stories, and practical advice for women to prioritize their well-being, dismantle stigma, and embrace later life with purpose and connection.About SusanSusan Salenger is a non-fiction writer, an avid reader, and a passionate foodie with a particular love for dark chocolate. For more than 25 years, she and her husband owned Salenger Films, a company that produced and distributed corporate training films worldwide.Her book, Sidelined: How Women Can Navigate a Broken Healthcare System, was published by She Writes Press on April 12, 2022. The book explores the barriers women face inobtaining the best possible medical care. Salenger examines the persistent gender bias within the healthcare system and the ways in which women are often treated differently from men. Even in recent years, inequities remain.Sue also addresses the internal barriers many women face.Women frequently put their own health behind the needs of their families, and some experience guilt when they become ill, which can influence critical medical decisions and lead to regret. Through extensive research and in-depth interviews, she uncovers the emotional conflicts many women experience when navigating complex healthcare choices.Sidelined includes a comprehensive resource directory offering services and support to help women determine the best path forward for their healthcare needs.Key Takeaways:Self-blame and shame impact women's health decisions. Women often withhold illness due to stigma and cultural expectations. They are ashamed to go to the doctor and embarrassed to ask questions. For many diseases, women have different symptomsfrom men. Autoimmune diseases and Illnesses like heart attacks and chronic pain often have had trouble getting diagnosed. The doctor says “It's all in your head” because there is no data to support women's symptoms, which reinforces women's proclivity to blame themselves. This creates a vicious circle. Many times, Illnesses are random, but we tend to give disease a meaning. There are alcoholics that don't have a liver problem and people with lung cancer that have never smoked. De-stigmatization is the first step on the road to transparency and health. Self-advocacy and soliciting second opinions in critical to navigate a broken healthcare system. Do your research. Understand your diagnosis. Get a second opinion. Social connections, purpose, and community are paramount for mental and physical health. Find something that gives you self-satisfaction and makes you feel good about yourself. Prioritize meaningful connection.
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.

For more than a decade, CAR-T therapy has been the miracle of oncology, turning end-stage blood cancers into curable diseases. But the application of these engineered cell therapies is expanding to reset the immune system for patients living with lupus, stiff person syndrome and other autoimmune conditions. And with new frontiers come new rules. In this week’s episode of "The Top Line," Fierce Pharma’s Angus Liu chats with Harpreet Singh, M.D., chief medical officer at Precision for Medicine and a former director of the FDA's Division of Oncology, about a recent article by FDA officials led by CBER Director Vinay Prasad, M.D., laying out the agency’s perspective on its regulation of autoimmune CAR-T therapies. Singh discusses how the agency’s "case-by-case" approach, as indicated in the article, could be similar to—and different from—CAR-T for oncology indications. She also talks about how drug developers should follow existing development experience, as well as prepare for specific requirements for long-term patient follow-up and potential new clinical endpoints from the agency.

"Luminate is a company that tracks the Entertainment Industry pointing out data analytics and trends. Their 2025 report has come out and it points to overall listenership being up. Listening to new music is way down. There are also some interesting data points regarding AI."
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.

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

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
Ep194: Ansu Satpathy on Cancer and Autoimmune Drug Discovery by Timmerman Report
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. We gotchu.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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
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!

Send us a textSome years don't just challenge you—they level you. After losing my dad and a dear friend, my body crashed, my energy evaporated, and work I love got painfully scarce. The worst part? I couldn't name why. Steroids, sleep hacks, strict routines—nothing touched the deep, whole-body ache or the fog that made simple tasks feel like mountains. So I did the uncomfortable thing: I kept asking questions until I got real answers.What finally clicked was a second diagnosis layered on my rheumatoid arthritis—fibromyalgia. Suddenly the relentless fatigue, unrefreshing sleep, and unpredictable pain made sense. With my doctor, I started Cymbalta and doubled down on an anti-inflammatory approach to food, cutting sugar and refined carbs and trying carnivore short-term. Within days, my mood lifted and the pain dialed down just enough to start moving forward. Not cured, but hopeful. Not sprinting, but finally walking without shame.That's where a new motto was born: Stack Gold Bricks In 26. Each brick stands for a pillar—health, family, faith, finances, real estate deals, learning, generosity. Big wins are big bricks. Small habits are coins. Both count. I refuse to live in all-or-nothing mode that burns you out and leaves you with nothing to show. This year I'm leaning into practical education—tight YouTube trainings, focused half-day workshops, and back-to-basics real estate strategies for lead generation, fair offers, creative exits, and disciplined follow-through. The market is noisy, but the fundamentals work when you do.If last year bruised you too, you're not alone. Start with one brick you can place today: book the test, ask for help, prep a low-inflammation meal, or do ten minutes of focused work. We'll build momentum together—patiently, honestly, and on purpose. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs a lift, and leave a review to tell me your first brick for 2026.
