Dr. Ricklefs-Johnson talks about bone health and the cardiovascular health benefits of cheese. Calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins D, K, and B12 are all important for bone health, and cheese is a good source of each. In the past, saturated fat in cheese would have been demonized, but research is finding that saturated fat isn't created equally across all food types, and cheese has many unique fatty acids. Cheese consumption is associated with reduced risks of coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. Cheese contains bioactive peptides that appear to help lower blood pressure. (4:18) The panel discusses the mechanisms of action of cheese consumption on cardiovascular health, how much cheese is recommended daily, and whether different cheeses have different health benefits. Dr. Ricklefs-Johnson explains that the protein in cheese is primarily in the form of casein, rather than whey. Casein had been less utilized as it was thought harder to digest, but more research is showing the benefits of casein in muscle recovery and helping with sleep. (8:27) Research supports that calcium from cow milk sources is more bioavailable compared to supplements or fortified calcium in plant milks. Cheese is also unique as a dairy food that contains vitamin K, which works in conjunction with vitamin D and calcium for maintaining bone mass. (15:07) The panel visits about some of the other presentations at the symposium, including feeding cows to influence vitamin K or fatty acids in the milk and how to get the word out about the health benefits of cheese. (19:16) Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

Nobody Told You About Ferritin — And It's Costing You Everything Your hormones are optimized. Your thyroid labs came back fine. You're doing everything right. So why do you still feel exhausted, foggy, and like nothing is actually working? The answer might be a single number your doctor has never mentioned. Dr. Terri is joined by Dr. Cassie Smith — endocrinologist, hormone optimization expert, and EVEXIAS training faculty — fresh off a regional hormone provider refresher in Destin, Florida. What started as a conversation about why fully optimized patients still feel terrible turned into one of the most practical, eye-opening episodes the show has ever produced. This one is for anyone who's been told their labs are fine but their body is telling a completely different story. What you'll discover: Why ferritin below 70 means your thyroid hormone literally cannot enter the cell — no matter how much medication you take The ferritin level that starts affecting your heart's ability to contract (and why your doctor calls it "normal") Why low ferritin is behind more hair loss than any supplement on the market can fix How H. Pylori quietly destroys your iron absorption, your gut, and your hormone metabolism all at once The methylation problem affecting 60% of people that turns your B vitamins into toxins instead of fuel Why testosterone does not cause breast cancer — and actually decreases your risk Why optimal vitamin D is 60 minimum — and why a billion people walking around deficient is a public health crisis nobody is talking about The bottom line: Hormones are not an end-all be-all. Until you fix ferritin, vitamin D, B12, and the gut — nothing else is going to work the way it should. The Dr. Terri Show is presented by EVEXIAS Health Solutions.

Are you exhausted even though your lab work looks “normal”? Or are you taking B vitamins but not actually feeling the benefits? Bryana Gregory, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, breaks down the powerful role of methylated B vitamins and why the form you take truly matters. B vitamins are essential for energy production, brain function, mood balance, detoxification, and proper nervous system support. However, not all B vitamins are created equal. Genetics, gut health, medication use, stress, and environmental toxicity can all impact your ability to properly absorb and utilize standard or synthetic forms like folic acid or cyanocobalamin. When the body cannot properly methylate (or activate) these vitamins, symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, headaches, neuropathy, mood changes, and poor focus may persist. Join Bryana today as she explains how methylated B vitamins provide a more bioavailable, active form that supports detoxification, cellular energy, and healthy gene function. She also highlights the advantages of sublingual delivery, which allows for improved absorption and lower dosing by bypassing the digestive tract. If you struggle with low energy, poor concentration, high stress, neurological symptoms, or known B12 or folate deficiencies, this episode will help you understand whether methylated B vitamins may be right for you.

This segment is titled: The Plant-Based RevolutionImagine sitting down at a table laden with vibrant colors and intoxicating aromas—no steak or chicken in sight, yet the plate feels abundant, satisfying, and alive. That's the essence of plant-based cuisine, a way of eating that has quietly sustained civilizations for thousands of years and is now stepping into the spotlight with fresh energy. It isn't a modern fad or a restrictive diet; it's a rich, evolving tradition rooted in wisdom about the earth, the body, and the interconnectedness of all life.Its story begins long before anyone coined the term “plant-based.” In the high Andes, ancient peoples cultivated quinoa as their sacred mother grain, treasuring its complete nourishment in harsh mountain conditions. In Mesoamerica, the Aztecs and Mayans relied on chia seeds for endurance and vitality, grinding them into energy-packed drinks and doughs. Across India, Jain and Hindu traditions shaped meals around ahimsa—the principle of non-harm—turning lentils, grains, spices, and vegetables into intricate thalis that celebrate every part of the plant. In Buddhist monasteries from Japan to Korea, shojin ryori and sachal eumsik emerged as meditative practices in which chefs treated every root, leaf, and seed with reverence, avoiding even pungent alliums to keep the mind clear and the spirit gentle. Ethiopian Orthodox Christians observed long fasting periods, making lentil stews, injera, and spiced greens the everyday foundation of their tables. These weren't sacrifices; they were expressions of harmony with the land and respect for life.Over centuries, colonial powers and industrial shifts pushed many of these traditions to the margins, favoring high-yield crops and animal agriculture. Yet the knowledge never disappeared. It lingered in temple kitchens, family recipes, and indigenous communities. Then, in recent decades, something shifted. People began rediscovering these ancient foods—millets from Africa and Asia, jackfruit in tropical regions, mushrooms cultivated for their meaty texture—while modern ingenuity created approachable versions of familiar favorites. What started as a necessity and a spiritual practice evolved into a conscious choice for many, driven by a desire for lighter bodies, clearer minds, and a gentler footprint on the planet.Nutritionally, plant-based eating offers a quiet kind of abundance that surprises those who expect it to feel limiting. When you draw from a wide palette—beans, nuts, seeds, whole grains, leafy greens, roots, and fruits—you receive protein in complete forms, as quinoa and soy demonstrate so elegantly. Fiber arrives in generous waves, supporting steady energy and happy digestion. Antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals are found in abundance in colorful produce, helping the body fend off inflammation and maintain balance. Many who adopt this way of eating notice steadier moods, smoother skin, and a sense of lightness that comes from meals built on living plants rather than heavy animal fats. The variety itself becomes medicine: rotating between Indian dals one day, Korean temple-inspired namul the next, and Ethiopian lentil wats keeps the palate engaged and the body well-rounded.Of course, no way of eating is perfect, and plant-based cuisine has its own nuances to navigate thoughtfully. Some nutrients that occur naturally and abundantly in animal foods—particularly vitamin B12, certain forms of iron, and omega-3s—require a bit more attention, often through fortified foods or mindful pairings, such as combining lentils with vitamin C-rich vegetables to boost absorption. Highly processed plant-based substitutes, while convenient, can sometimes lean on additives and oils that echo the very convenience foods they aim to replace.

Wir haben das mal kurz für euch durchgerechnet: Eine durchschnittlich sportliche Frau deckt ihren Proteinbedarf mit täglich 2,3 Kilo Rosenkohl. Alternativ wären auch 12 bis 13 Eier denkbar. Wenn ihr ein 90 Kilo-Kerl seid, der gerade auf Masse pumpt, könnt ihr da noch ein paar Schälchen körnigen Frischkäse drauflegen. Kurz: Ja, man kann alle Nährstoffe über die Nahrung abdecken, das ist hier auch ausdrücklich erwünscht, in der Praxis gelingt das aber nicht immer, und da kommen die Nahrungsergänzungsmittel ins Spiel. Von Ashwagandha bis Zink ist fast alles in der Drogerie der Wahl verfügbar. Aber was braucht man? Wer braucht was? Braucht man überhaupt irgendwas? Und welche Supplements sind so überflüssig, dass man sich genauso gut den Inhalt des Staubsaugerbetels durch die Nase ziehen könnte? Haben wir Professor Dr. Jürgen Gießing gefragt. Als Sportwissenschaftler mit dem Schwerpunkt Muskelaufbau hat es ihm besonders das Kreatin angetan. Dieses Strukturprotein soll Sportler: innen unter die Arme greifen. Und tatsächlich hält das Pulver, was es verspricht, sagt Jürgen Gießing. Zu dem Thema hat er ein ganzes Buch geschrieben, als Einstieg könnt ihr euch aber auch erstmal diese Folge anhören. Als „Nutri-Licous“ berät Michelle Lang Frauen in Gesundheitsfragen, und da spielen vor allen Dingen die Hormone eine Rolle. Hormone, Frauengesundheit – das sind Wörter, die versprühen den Charme von Potpourri-Schalen und Farbberatung – aber zusammen mit Michelle holen wir die Hormone raus aus der Schmuddelecke und rücken sie ins Spotlight, in das sie gehören. Denn während sich der männliche Hormonzyklus durch ein morgendliches Aufbäumen und anschließendes Abflachen auszeichnen, ist bei Frauen ein ganzen Hormonorchester damit beschäftigt den Zyklus, die Stimmung, das allgemeine Wohlbefinden zu regulieren und oft genug ins Chaos zu stürzen. Aber auch da kann man mit Supplements gegensteuern, sagt Michelle. Hier hat Anne die Zahlen her: Nahrungsergänzungsmittel: Verbraucherverhalten und Gesundheitsversprechen Und hier unser Podcast-Tipp zum Thema Abnehmspritze: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:36f992e7e9427f31/ flexikon@ndr.de

Strong bones aren't built with a single supplement or prescription — they're the result of a beautifully choreographed "bone ballet" involving an omnivorous whole food diet, movement, and load-bearing activity. In this episode, we explore the complexity of bone health and why simplistic solutions often miss the bigger picture. If you've been told you have osteopenia, osteoporosis, or are at risk for fractures, this episode will help you understand what's really happening inside your bones — and what you can actually do about it. We also introduce our new Lifestyle Guide for Osteoporosis, available at GreatMed.org, which walks through the full strategy for building resilient, fracture-resistant bones: https://greatmed.org/lifestyle-tools/osteoporosis-bone-health/ Key Takeaways: • Bone is living, dynamic tissue — not a static structure • Strong bones require both mineral strength AND protein flexibility • Bone remodeling depends on osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocytes, hormones, and blood supply • Improving bone density is not the same as reducing fracture risk • Physical activity reshapes and strengthens bone architecture • Mediterranean-style diet patterns support bone health • Key nutrients include protein, calcium (primarily from food), vitamin D (preferably natural sources), vitamin K, B12, iron, and a healthy microbiome • Ask about underlying causes of osteoporosis — not just medication • The same habits that build strong bones improve heart, brain, and metabolic health Get your copy of Good Food Great Medicine, 4th ed.: https://a.co/d/1D6hIYM More references can be found at www.GreatMed.org Would you like Dr. Hassell to answer your question on the air?

POTS is a real diagnosis, but it isn't always the whole story. In this episode of Bendy Bodies, Dr. Linda Bluestein takes a deep dive into POTS imitators: conditions that can mimic, worsen, or coexist with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and quietly derail treatment progress. Inspired by listener questions and real-world clinical patterns, the episode explores why some people do “everything right” for POTS and still don't improve.The conversation breaks down overlooked contributors like nutrient deficiencies (including pernicious anemia and thiamine deficiency), endocrine and hormonal conditions, mast cell activation, medication effects, sleep disorders, post-infectious syndromes, and neurologic or autoimmune drivers. Dr. Bluestein explains how normal labs can be misleading, why symptoms often appear before classic test abnormalities, and how multiple factors can converge on the same autonomic pathway.Rather than encouraging self-diagnosis, this episode offers a framework for asking better questions, helping listeners recognize red flags, avoid medical ping-pong, and advocate thoughtfully without overwhelming themselves or their clinicians. For anyone living with POTS symptoms that don't fully respond to treatment, this episode provides clarity, context, and a more nuanced way forward. Takeaways: POTS is a pattern, not always a root cause, and multiple conditions can drive the same autonomic symptoms. Normal routine labs do not rule out nutrient deficiencies, including B12 or thiamine deficiency. Hormonal, endocrine, mast cell, and neurologic factors frequently overlap, complicating diagnosis and treatment. Symptoms that persist despite appropriate POTS care are a signal to look deeper, not push harder. Thoughtful pacing and prioritization matter, helping patients avoid burnout while still advocating effectively. Want more Dr. Linda Bluestein, MD?

Mental Health Nutrition Starts Here. When a patient opens up about their mood, we think therapy. We think medication. But do we ever pause and ask… are they eating enough to support their brain?In this episode, I'm joined by registered dietitian Jennifer Hanes, who specializes in nutrition and mental health. We unpack how food impacts mood, why under-eating can worsen anxiety and depression, and how clinicians can confidently talk about nutrition without oversimplifying it.You'll learn:Why the nutrition hierarchy of needs matters for patients with anxiety and depressionHow chronic under-eating can worsen brain fog, irritability, and low moodThe gut-brain connection and why IBS, inflammation, and mental health are so intertwinedWhich supplements (like fish oil, magnesium, vitamin D, and B12) may be helpfulResources:Listen to this next!

From high school breakouts to a low-dose of Accutane… to the massive hormonal flare-up I experienced after coming off birth control in 2020 — I know firsthand how consuming, painful, and isolating acne can be. It's not “just skin.” It affects your confidence, your relationships, your work, and your mental health.In this episode, I'm joined by Kayleigh and Danielle, the co-founders of CLEARSTEM, a brand born out of their own devastating acne journeys. Danielle battled cystic acne for decades, tried Accutane three times, and eventually left the corporate world to study skin and open her own acne clinic. Kayleigh found her after nearly going on Accutane herself and what she learned in that first appointment completely changed her life.We talk about the emotional toll of acne (and why no one talks about it) and why so many traditional acne treatments don't address the root cause. We get into the surprising supplement triggers that can worsen breakouts (vitamin D, B12, zinc, biotin… and more), hidden pore-clogging ingredients in skincare and makeup, and internal + external connections when it comes to clear skin, eggs, dairy, whey protein, blood sugar spikes — and how to test your personal thresholds. We explore over-exfoliating vs. under-exfoliating, hormonal acne, stress acne, and adult acne in your 20s and 30s, and what to do when you feel like you've “tried everything.”Tired of guessing what's causing your breakouts?

Right Total Knee Replacement My Physical and Emotional Fight Against Pain Hypersensitivity and Protective Muscle Guarding – written by Cathy Banovac – interview by Lisa Pelley and Mary Elliott – Cathy was coached by Erin Rempher, PTA My name is Cathy and I reside in Arizona. I am 57 years old, a homemaker, and have had a genetic history of chronic osteoarthritis.  From a very young age, I have always had a very low pain threshold.  Prior to the commencement of pain in my knee, I considered myself a fairly fit and active person…loved gardening, entertaining family and friends, cooking, crafting, playing golf, traveling with my husband, walking our dogs, and playing with our grandchildren. Life was good! Early Summer In addition to the normal aches and pains that come with aging, I began to experience more than usual pain in my right knee.  I was experiencing daily occurrences of popping/clicking, giving out when walking at times, difficulty negotiating steps or stairs, and nightly interrupted sleep due to pain.  Over the counter medications, icing, heat, etc. was no longer managing my symptoms.  Upon visiting an orthopedic surgeon for examination and subsequent imaging, I learned I was over 70% bone on bone in my right knee joint.  I was told I was looking at a total knee replacement.  I was preparing to head to Michigan for a family vacation on the lake with my kiddos in August, so was not happy to hear this news.  I convinced my doctor to give me a steroid injection just to buy me the time I needed to take my vacation.  He was reluctant and told me that he predicted it would do nothing to help my condition at the very least or, at the very most, last for a brief time.  I made it through the trip, yet 3 weeks post-injection the symptoms had returned. No More Injections My surgeon declined my request for another injection, instead reiterating my need for the TKR.  Over previous years, I had witnessed my mother, father, husband and a few friends have knee replacement surgeries.  All came through their surgeries with what appeared to me to be a fairly pain controlled, timely recovery and successful return to their regular daily activities.  I was told I was on the younger side for this type of procedure, nevertheless, would greatly benefit from extended quality of life and return to desired activity, given my current quality of life and daily activity was becoming more diminished by the day. My Knee Replacement I underwent RTKR on September 25.  All went well and as expected with the surgery.  I was up and walking, began some light physical therapy exercises, and maintained post-op range and motion through use of a CPM while in hospital.  I was discharged to home on the third day post-op, with a couple of narcotic pain medications (initially Percocet/Oxycodone and Morphine) and directions to commence in-home physical therapy the following day.  My follow-up visit with the surgeon was scheduled for 6 weeks post-op.  Day one at home began my challenging journey of recovery, both physically and emotionally.  I experienced difficulty managing my pain even with narcotics and over the counter medications.  My swelling was as expected and able to be kept in check with anti-inflammatory meds and icing.  I experienced annoying side effects from the narcotics, i.e., headaches, nausea, constipation, and thus was bounced from one medication and dosage to another, none of which seemed to be the right combination or solution to my pain.  Out of complete desperation and in uncontrollable pain, I went to the emergency room after being home for four days post-op, hoping to get some relief. A Problem with the Surgery? I thought surely there must be something wrong.  A few hours later, together with a lecture from the hospital PT and some morphine, I was discharged back to home.  Back on more medication, I failed to again find relief from pain.  I was averaging about 2-3 hours of sleep per night and little sleep during the day.  My home physical therapist had her work cut out for her.  Over the next 4 weeks (twelve 45 min. sessions of in-home PT), I had yet to reach better than 85 degrees flexion and 10 degrees extension.  My in-home therapist said she spent most of those 4 weeks strengthening my calves, hamstrings, and quad muscles, all which were extremely weak.  Therefore, already I was approximately 4 weeks behind in range and motion advancement.  My pain was still very much out of control, all while I feared becoming more and more dependent on the narcotics prescribed. At the first follow-up appointment (six weeks post-op), my flexion was below 90 degrees and extension still not at the zero degree mark.  I was informed by my surgeon that I needed a Manipulation Under Anesthesia (MUA).  My knee felt very stiff, pain was still unmanageable, and I was stuck without advancement in physical therapy. Manipulation Under Anesthesia He took x-rays and made sure the appliance was not loose or slipping out of placement.  All was found to be in proper order and an examination found no infection that could be causing pain or other symptoms.  My surgeon had done his job.  I was told however, that he believed I was stuck due to scar tissue build-up and thus was in need of the MUA to break up the scar tissue.  This would also permit the ability to continue physical therapy, working towards achievement of the desirable degree of range and motion outcomes.  I underwent the MUA six weeks and one day post-op and immediately resumed PT the following day.  I was told not to worry about a reduction in my flexion and extension after having the MUA.  An MUA tends to put patients back about 3-4 weeks, so it is almost like starting all over again.  However, the idea is that advancement in range and motion should become easier now that the scar tissue has been broken up by the procedure.  I went to PT for 5 days in a row the first week following the MUA, did my home exercises faithfully on my own twice a day, then returned to PT three times a week for the next several weeks. After the MUA At the two week follow-up appointment post the MUA, I was still in unmanageable pain, still getting only 2-3 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night, and running every gamut of emotion and temperament.  My poor husband was beside himself and wondering whatever became of the woman he married 27 years ago.  My flexion was still only reaching in the low 90's and my extension was no better either.  I was still experiencing great sensitivity to the touch anywhere on or around my surgical knee.  I couldn't stand wearing pants or having any sheet or blanket covering my knee.  My pain was the worst at night, just when I was settling in for some restful moments on the couch watching TV with my husband.  I would suddenly be lifted off my seat with either pain that mimicked touching a lit match to my knee, or the stabbing of a knife, or the shock of a taser. Dealing with the Pain This pain varied and sometimes was relentless for several minutes.  I was in tears most evenings and headed to bed to ice or apply heat, which calmed the nerve pain somewhat.  I would take meds (Hydrocodone/Norco, Extra-Strength Tylenol, Ibuprofen,  Zofran (for nausea) Vitamins, a stool softener (due to Hydrocodone) and Gabapentin aka Neurontin.  I was soooo sick of taking medications.  I think my surgeon was beside himself as to how to control my pain and sensitivity, therefore, he recommended I seek help at a Pain Management Clinic for possible sympathetic blocks, as well as my medicinal pain management.  Both he and my physical therapist told me I was forecasting pain neurologically before any exerted physical effort on their part was made to cause any pain.  My intolerance for any amount of pain was prohibiting any measurable progress in my range and motion, thus scar tissue was building at a rapid pace.  Physical therapy continued to be a challenge as I protective muscle guarded any force applied by my therapist to get better R&M.  I cried through most of my sessions. Pain Management At my first appointment with the Pain Management Clinic, I met with the doctor.  Most people have sympathetic blocks in their back to relieve nerve pain, but the doctor I was referred to chose to recommend a Genicular Neurotomy, accomplished through a procedure called Coolief Cooled Radiofrequency Ablation.  I first underwent a test which involved Lidocaine injections in four areas surrounding my new knee.  The patient then logs their pain and activities over the following 72 hours.  A follow-up appointment with a Nurse Practitioner then reviews the log and determines eligibility for the ablation procedure.  At this appointment she chose to cut my medication cold-turkey for a couple of days as she deemed I was dependent on them, even though I was getting little pain control.  I experienced severe withdrawal symptoms for two days. A Change in Medication I thought I was going to go out of my mind.  A change in my medication increased the Gabapentin I was taking, and I was found to be eligible for the ablation.  I underwent that procedure approximately 6 weeks post my first MUA, just before the Thanksgiving holiday.  I was told that I would still be experiencing pain for approximately 4-6 weeks, due to the fact that the ablation was going to make my nerves “angry” as they fought their temporary death.  I was also informed that this procedure is temporary as nerve endings most often regenerate themselves over a 6 month to 2 year period.  Some patients must undergo two or three of these procedures to get lasting relief. Unhappy News This was not happy news to my ears, yet I was still desperate for relief and reaching out for anything, and I mean anything, that would control my pain.  I returned to the pain clinic for a follow-up to the ablation procedure only to report pain still very bad and that I was still taking a boatload of medication, icing, heat to quad muscles to relieve cramping, and poor results in physical therapy sessions.  I was told to give it more time and come back in a few more weeks.   At my next follow-up approximately 3 weeks later, I discharged myself from the Pain Management Clinic.  I felt that their treatment plan was not successful for me and they had no other plan to offer other than continued reliance on prescription medication and time. When recovery goes wrong – Read More A Desparate Time After barely getting through the Christmas holidays, persisting in physical therapy and weaning myself down on prescription medications (since they didn't seem to be having any great effect on my pain), I began to explore the possibility of medical marijuana as a solution to my pain control.  I have never tried marijuana and had little desire to smoke or vape it, but was interested in edibles they have out now.  I was desperate and finding myself sinking into anxiety, panic attacks and, at times, depression.  My family and my husband were becoming very concerned as I was changing into a person they did not know and they were at a loss as how to help me through my circumstances. Medical Marijuana Since medical marijuana is legal in the State of Arizona, I sought out a doctor with whom I met and applied for a patient card.  This process took approximately 3 weeks, including approval of my application through the Arizona Department of Health and Human Services.  Upon receiving my card, I met with a licensed nurse at a dispensary to become educated about the various products and my specific needs.  She was recommended by the doctor who signed off on my patient eligibility and works with a number of cancer patients to help control their symptoms.  We met for over an hour.  She was extremely patient with me, educating me about cannabis (which I knew little of) and gave me recommendations to try.  I purchased three of her recommendations.  I also decided to try getting a light massage once per week.  The massages lasted for approximately three weeks before I decided to suspend them, as I found them not helpful enough to warrant the expense. Little if Any Improvement Having done everything I was asked to do in my recovery and still making little if any gains, I found myself in a very dark place emotionally, desperate to end my pain, and I was done!!  One day, I was occupying my time, in between home therapy and out-patient therapy sessions, searching the Internet for anything that might literally save me.  When in answer to my prayer, I came across several website postings about a therapy called X10.  I shared some of it with my husband, my parents and my kids.  They encouraged me to explore it more.  After reading some of the patient blogs and watching a few of the videos that I could access, I made my first contact with PJ Ewing by emailing him.  PJ responded very quickly telling me that the X10 Therapy and machine was not yet available in the State of Arizona, but he provided me with some other resources.  I was initially devastated by this news, but I almost immediately decided that I was not going to accept that response.  I instantly thought to myself, “Well, if it is not available in AZ, then maybe I can travel to wherever it is available. Not Taking ‘No’ for an Answer This time, I placed a phone call to PJ and we talked for over an hour.  As it so happened, in our conversation I discovered that the X10 headquarters is in Franklin, MI, and I had family who lived in Rochester, MI.  PJ was more than gracious in discussing all the parameters and specifics of the possibility of travel to Michigan to undergo the X10 program.  To say the least, after completion of my discussion with PJ, I heard God say “Not yet, Cathy, I still have a plan for you on this earth.”  I discussed the possibilities with my husband and shared them also with my son and daughter-in-law, exploring their permission to have me as a houseguest for 2-3 weeks.  Of course, they couldn't have been more gracious and welcoming. Pain Still a Big Problem My pain was still out of control, I continued out patient PT three times a week with slow or little advancement in my R&M, had my six week MUA follow-up with my surgeon only to be told I was facing a second MUA.  I told my surgeon and my physical therapist about the X10 Therapy website I had discovered, and PJ sent me the clinical data to share with them.  Each of them, I am grateful to say, told me they had looked at the data and were “intrigued” by the therapy plan.  Both encouraged me to pursue it as an option for me, yet both also strongly indicated that enough time had passed between my first MUA and the ablation, therefore, still recommended I have the second MUA before commencing X10 Therapy. Turning to X10 Therapy after a Second MUA Once my husband and I had made the decision to pursue this plan, the wheels began to roll quickly.  Initially, I scheduled the 2nd MUA and a flight out from Phoenix to Detroit by myself the next day following the MUA.  I notified PJ of my  plans and he began to put things in motion by placing me in contact with Mary Elliott, Melissa, Mike, a therapy Coach, Erin a Physical Therapist, and Marty, a technician for machine home delivery and set-up.  The X10 Therapy approach is really a “team” approach to wellness, in addition to the machine itself and the technological programs it delivers to the patient. The Second MUA Was Coming Up As the days approached the 2nd MUA, I became extremely anxious and experienced a couple of panic attacks.  I began to stress about the MUA pain, having gone through one already.  The thought of flying alone, even though my son would be there to meet me at the other end of my flight, and having to get through a 4 hour flight plus 1 hour car ride to his home in pain, had me scared beyond belief.  I was consumed with thinking about how I would manage my pain.  Should I just knock myself out to sleep on the plane?  What if that didn't work?  What meds could I then take if in pain?  What about my leg position – straightening and bending?  How would I get help from curb, through security, to gate, onto plane and the same again when arriving including a stop at baggage claim?  How am I going to sleep at night?  Is this therapy going to put me back in unmanageable pain again, even though the X10 Therapy information says I am in control?  What if it doesn't work?  Can this end my knee recovery nightmare? And on and on and on…! Making Plans After talking it over with my husband and doctor, it was decided that I would delay my trip to Michigan for one week following the 2nd MUA.  I would continue outpatient PT immediately following the MUA, but have some time to consult with a psychologist concerning my sleep depravation, fears, anxiety/depression and develop a plan to manage my pain, as well as talk to the airline for special assistance to help solve my transportation needs.  My husband decided to make the trip with me for a couple of days, just to get me settled and started with X10 Therapy.  Armed with a revised medication and travel plan, I notified the X10 Team of my change in start date and all were extremely understanding and accommodating.  I had the 2nd MUA  on January 18.  I continued outpatient PT for three more sessions, in addition to my own home exercises twice per day.  My daily sleep and pain control was managed better and I was counting the days until our departure date.  It simply could not arrive fast enough! Friday, January 19 This will remain a very important and pivotable day in my life.  My journey towards healing, life anew and well-being would begin that very day.  Having endured a comfortable flight and having managed all the transportation arrangements with ease (kudos to Delta Airlines), we arrived at my son's home ready to commence what I can now claim as my own personal miracle.  Within an hour, Marty arrived with a smile, this technological marvel known as the X10 machine, and a thorough first orientation/training session filled with words of encouragement and confidence.  I was on my way, although until I began to see results (which were really displayed within that first session), I Had Hope I was still cautiously optimistic about where I was headed.  Could I really achieve the flexion and extension goals I was unable to achieve thus far with any of my existing recovery methods?  Would this therapy really enable me to manage my pain comfortably with mild medications?  Could I trust my X10 therapist and her plan for me?  Would the X10 team really be there for me when I needed them?  Was the X10 therapy the answer to my prayers?  Would I really be returning home in as little as  just over 2 weeks time to see my surgeon's and physical therapist's jaws drop as they witnessed my flexion and extension reach what we all thought would be skeptical results, but instead blow them away with incredible success?  It would not be long before I could actually acknowledge to myself that the answers to each of those questions would be a resounding YES! 110º Flexion Once I was able to reach the 110 degree mark for flexion, it was decided that I would add 5 min a day on the stationery bike. As I felt comfortable, I was able to increase that time in small increments and add another bike session in the evening.  While my progress was measurable daily, I did experience some cramping in my right thigh and calf, dealt with some bursitis in my right hip for about two weeks, and waking with some right leg pain some nights. Taking Care of Myself I found icing and elevating regularly after each exercise session, icing my hip, heat on my upper thigh at night, Tramadol 50 mg. only twice a day with Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen alternated during the day, and Theraworx Relief foam massaged in the cramping areas once or twice a day helped keep my discomfort manageable.  In addition, I spent some resting time researching dietary recommendations for inflammation and pain.  I incorporated tumeric, magnesium, Osteo Bi-flex, 100% Cherry or Pineapple Juice, Vitamin B6 & B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Zinc, fresh berries and decaffeinated tea with ginger, lemon and honey in my daily diet.  I also decided to limit carbohydrates and sugar intake in an effort to keep my inflammatory response in check. One Week In After one week on the X10 and with constant reassurance and communication from all of my X10 team, I could actually begin to call this journey and the X10 Therapy my miracle.  I had breached the 100's for flexion after starting at 55 degrees, and reached 0 degrees at the end of the first session on my extension, previously at 8 degrees.  My fears, anxiety and uncertainty soon gave way to renewed love for life, joy at gaining confidence in doing daily activities again, sharing my daily success by telephone with family and friends, and hope for the future.  The almost daily contact from one or more of my X10 team members answered any questions that arose, provided authentic cheerleading for my cause, and motivated me to press on for better and better results. Working with My Coach Mary called often to check in with me and was my calm and steady encourager.  My conversations with her were uplifting and kind of like talking to an old friend, casual and comforting.  My PT, Erin, made a home visit to discuss my history and offered varied strategies for increasing my flexion degrees, as well as made adjustments in my therapy plan due to some bursitis that I had recently developed in my right hip.  She was careful to make the appropriate adjustments to my therapy plan.  She and Mike (my strengthening coach and with whom I also met in person to go over exercises), together modified my plan by delaying some of the exercises, while still permitting three sessions a day for range and motion growth. Conclusions As I approach my last day of sessions on the X10 Therapy machine and a return home to Arizona tomorrow, I write my story to encourage anyone who has experienced one or more of the circumstances that I experienced subsequent to a total knee replacement.  I am happy to report that I was successful in breaking through some of my scar tissue, reaching 0 degrees for my extension and 117 degrees flexion.  My gait is much improved and, as I have returned to walking without a limp or dragging my surgical leg, the pain in my hip and lower back has also improved greatly. My knee recovery nightmare has finally come to an end. Some Rehab Insurance I will continue outpatient therapy immediately upon my return home in order to solidify my current range and motion, and even further improve my flexion as I am able.  I write this also as a means of paying it forward to future patients of the X10 and in grateful appreciation to my X10 Team, my family and my friends who affirmed, guided, encouraged, and yes, celebrated, my X10 Therapy journey of success.  The proof, as they say, is in the pudding, which is said to mean that you can only judge the quality of something after you have tried, used, or experienced it.  I absolutely cannot wait to share my experience and demonstrate my range and motion achievement in person to my surgeon and PT Team back home in Arizona.

¿Y si llevas años evitando alimentos simplemente porque alguien te dijo que eran “malos”… pero nunca te explicaron bien por qué?En el episodio 125 me siento a charlar con Miguel López, dietista-nutricionista y doctor en Ciencias de la Alimentación, para hacer algo que creo que necesitamos mucho: poner orden. Orden en lo que se repite en redes, en lo que se escucha en el gimnasio, en lo que se da por hecho… y en lo que realmente dice la evidencia.Hablamos de la soja, de por qué sigue generando tanta polémica: que si baja la testosterona, que si afecta a la tiroides, que si aumenta el riesgo de cáncer, que si es transgénica, que si el impacto ambiental… También comentamos la noticia reciente de Francia y el debate sobre su consumo en población joven.Entramos en una pregunta que me hacéis muchísimo: si te falta hierro, ¿de verdad la única solución es “come más carne” o existen otras vías igual de válidas y bien planteadas?Y tocamos un tema que quizá incomoda un poco, pero es necesario: cuánta carne consumimos en España y lo poco que aparecen las legumbres en nuestros platos.Seguimos con dudas del día a día: la vitamina B12 (y por qué no es tan simple como pensar que “si suplementas es porque tu dieta es peor”), la obsesión con la proteína y si realmente se puede ganar masa muscular con proteína vegetal, el miedo al aceite de girasol, y la eterna guerra del azúcar blanco, el moreno y los siropes “más naturales”.Es una conversación con matices, sin dogmas, sin extremos. Con ciencia, pero también con sentido común. Si quieres aprender a pensar mejor tu alimentación, este episodio te va a gustar mucho :)Miguel López: https://www.instagram.com/nutreconciencia/Para mas información ya sabéis que me tenéis en mi instagram @isabelvina dónde te comparto contenido diario Mi TikTok @isabelvinabasEn mi canal de YouTube Canal YoutubeY los suplementos formulados por mi en mi web  Mi web

In today's episode, we talk about why bone density begins to decline and what actually builds strong, resilient bones — at every age and every stage of life, including perimenopause and postmenopause.Now, before you think, “Well, that's not me — I'm in my 20s… my 30s… my 40s,” please give this episode a listen, because the strength of your bones at 60 is determined by what you do at 25.This is Part 1, focused on nutrition and hormones — and it lays the groundwork for what comes next: Part 2, where we'll talk about mechanical stress, weight-bearing exercise, resistance training, balance work — and why movement is non-negotiable for long-term bone health.In this episode, we explore:* When we reach peak bone mass and why that matters* Why bone loss accelerates earlier than many women expect* What perimenopause is (and why it matters for bone remodeling)* How bone remodeling works — and the roles of osteoclasts and osteoblasts* Why estrogen is central to bone density in women* How to know where you stand: DEXA scans, blood work, and risk factors* Why “normal” blood calcium doesn't tell you what you think it tells you* The nutrition foundation for strong bones * What can work against bone health over time (and what to watch for)

Okay babes… this is a very special Free The Moms episode.This one is actually a replay-style webinar training that I hosted, and I decided to bring it to the podcast because this conversation needs to happen out loud. We are talking all things peptides. Yes, GLP-1s. And also NAD+, glutathione, B12, BPC-157 and more. But the main focus of this training is GLP-1s—why so many of my clients are taking them, why some are microdosing, why some are on a full weight-loss dose… and why I personally am on a microdose.I'll be honest with you. I was nervous to release this. There is still so much stigma around GLP-1s. And I don't love that. So we're de-stigmatizing it. We're having the conversation. Because my job is to bring you information, empowerment, and options—without shame.Inside this episode, I walk you through:- What peptides actually are (and why they're not some scary foreign thing)- The difference between microdosing a GLP-1 and using a full weight-loss dose- Why I chose to microdose—and how I think about it in the context of longevity and metabolic health- Semaglutide vs tirzepatide (single agonist vs dual agonist) and what that actually means- What my clients are experiencing on these medications- Side effects like nausea and how they're managing it- Why medical oversight matters and how to think about doing this responsiblyWe also talk about other supportive peptides like NAD+ and glutathione, and why this conversation is bigger than “just weight loss.” For many of my clients, this is about metabolic healing, inflammation, energy, and feeling like themselves again.If you're curious, skeptical, interested, or just want to understand what the heck everyone is talking about, this episode is for you. You get to decide what's right for your body. Always.If you want to explore further, you can check out the peptides portal here:https://lmd.com/LauraConleyAnd if you attended the webinar live (or signed up), you'll receive the replay, consult link, booking link, and all resources via email.I love you guys.

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston welcomes back Dr. Warren Lesser from Magna Pharmaceuticals to dive deep into the science behind the "winter blues" and Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). They explore why many people experience a "bummer and dumber" effect during the darker months, as reduced sunlight affects not only our mood but also our processing speed, memory, and cognitive function. The conversation highlights the critical role of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, and how a deficiency in L-methylfolate (B9) and B12 can hinder the body's ability to produce these "feel-good" chemicals. Dr. Lesser explains why traditional antidepressants often fail if the body lacks the necessary nutritional substrates to make them work. They also discuss how the De Novo Plus B12 supplement provides the high-dose, bioavailable nutrients needed to cross the blood-brain barrier and support mental health, energy, and overall longevity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, I unpack the most common criticisms of a vegan diet during menopause, from protein and leucine to calcium, B12, omega-3s, vitamin D, and bone health. You'll learn why these nutrients matter more in midlife, how to meet your needs on a plant-based diet, and when supplementation can make all the difference. We also explore the powerful ways a whole-foods, plant-based diet can support menopause, including: Reduced inflammation and chronic disease risk Improved heart health and cholesterol levels Better blood sugar control and metabolism Sustainable weight loss without restriction Stronger gut health and hormone balance Brain protection and cognitive health Relief from hot flashes and support from phytoestrogens Lower breast cancer risk and greater longevity Save 10% on Kion Aminos with the code BLISSFUL: https://www.getkion.com/ Free Quiz:  What's getting in the way of your weightloss in menopause Free 3-Day Vegan Menopause Meal Plan DISCLAIMER: This podcast's information is general in nature and for informational purposes only.

In this solo mini episode, Shawna walks through her plant based nutrition guide to the key vitamins and minerals. This episode covers: Vitamin B12 (including dosing ranges and supplement forms) Vitamin D3 and sun exposure Calcium on a vegan diet Iodine and thyroid health Iron and when supplementation is actually necessary Zinc intake on plant-based diets Omega-3s (ALA, EPA, and DHA) This guide is general info for healthy adults, and is not a substitute for individualized medical care. That said, it provides a foundation for the vitamins and minerals that people are the most curious about when going vegan or eating a plant based diet. If you'd like personalized support reviewing your diet or supplement plan, you can book a private nutrition consultation with Shawna. For listeners in Canada, essential supplements like B12 and vegan D3 are also available through her online supplement store. Whether you're new to plant based eating or simply want reassurance that you're covering your bases, this episode offers clarity and confidence. ____________________________________________________________________

(Originally recorded July 28, 2024 for another podcast Corinna once hosted, Nutrition Without Compromise — shared with permission.) Aging is often framed as inevitable decline. But what if much of what we call “aging” is actually preventable disease accumulation? In this essential re-release episode, Corinna Bellizzi sits down with Michael Greger, physician, internationally recognized speaker, and founder of NutritionFacts.org. Dr. Greger's latest book, How Not to Age, builds on the groundbreaking work of How Not to Die and How Not to Diet — translating peer-reviewed science into practical guidance for living longer and healthier. In this conversation, we explore: The difference between lifespan and healthspan Why excess protein may accelerate aging pathways The myth of “incomplete” plant proteins Fish consumption, pollution, and algae-based Omega-3 alternatives Autophagy, spermidine, and cellular repair The role of vitamin B12, vitamin D, and DHA The promise of lifestyle medicine in addressing Alzheimer's and chronic disease This episode launches a curated Care More Be Better re-share series highlighting foundational health conversations that remain deeply relevant today.

Why can one person drink coffee at night and sleep fine while another feels anxious and wired for 12 hours? Why do some people thrive on high-dose B vitamins while others spiral into panic and insomnia? Why does estrogen feel overwhelming for some but not others? The answer may lie in one powerful gene: COMT.In this episode of Wholistic Living, we break down the two COMT personality types and how they influence mood, stress response, sleep, hormones, and caffeine tolerance. Slow COMT is often the intense, driven, high-dopamine type. These individuals are focused and sharp but may be prone to anxiety, overthinking, insomnia, estrogen dominance, and caffeine sensitivity. Stress lingers in the system. Hormones feel stronger. B vitamins can overstimulate. Fast COMT is often the lower-dopamine, stimulation-seeking type. These individuals may feel less motivated or more fatigued and may rely on caffeine. They clear stress quickly but also clear dopamine quickly. Too many methyl donors like B9 and B12 can reduce dopamine even further and worsen low mood or lack of drive. In this episode, you will learn:How COMT regulates dopamine, adrenaline, and estrogen detoxWhy slow COMT can contribute to PMS, PMDD, histamine issues, and insomniaWhy fast COMT can affect motivation and moodHow methylated B vitamins influence each variant differentlyWhy caffeine tolerance is genetically influencedHow to structure your diet and lifestyle based on your COMT typeGenetics are not your destiny, but they are your blueprint. If you have ever felt wired and tired, anxious from supplements, hormonally intense, or chronically unmotivated, this episode will help you understand why. Root cause work begins with understanding your terrain.Equip Foods Grass-fed beef protein - Code: MARLAWant to work with me? email me to health@holisticspring.com

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans shape how a nation eats, but the science, politics, and industry forces behind them are rarely discussed. In this can't-miss episode, renowned nutrition scientist Dr. Christopher Gardner, Professor of Medicine at Stanford University and lead researcher of the Netflix Twin Experiment, pulls back the curtain on the latest update: how it was crafted, what's shifted, and where it diverges from the evidence. Dr. Gardner helps us separate fact from manipulation and noise, and offers practical, realistic takeaways for building a balanced, sustainable way of eating. What we discuss in this episode:  Dr. Gardner's experience working on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. What the dietary guidelines would look like if they strictly reflected current scientific evidence. The influence of the dairy and meat industries on the DGA. Ingredients and additives in processed foods that are designed to drive consumption. Tips for improving your diet. Research comparing Beyond Meat to pasture-raised organic red meat. How much vitamin B12 you actually need. Saturated fats in plant foods compared with saturated fats in animal products. The potential of diet to reverse harmful health patterns.

Simple Ways to Boost Kids' Nutrition (Even If Veggies Are a Struggle)This week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're diving into a refreshingly practical conversation about nutrition especially for families who feel stuck when it comes to vegetables.Inspired by a moment in the kitchen, this episode explores simple, realistic ways to add more nourishment to your family's meals without battles, pressure, or forcing extra greens onto the plate. Whether you have toddlers, school-aged kids, or teenagers who are increasingly eating outside the home, these ideas are designed to make everyday meals more nourishing even for picky eaters.In this episode, we explore:Why adding nutrition doesn't always mean adding more vegetables and what can have an even bigger nutritional impactHow certain everyday foods can support brain development, immunity, and gut healthWhy some nutrient-dense choices can be more effective than simply increasing portion sizesPractical ways to enhance meals without overwhelming kids or creating food stress

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston sits down with Jaclyn Downs, MS, a certified functional genomics expert and author of Enhancing Fertility Through Functional Medicine. While many people have heard of the "MTHFR" gene, Jaclyn explains to Dr. Pinkston why that is only the tip of the iceberg. They delve into how functional genomics—the study of subtle genetic variations you can actually influence through diet and lifestyle—holds the key to solving chronic issues like infertility, anxiety, migraines, and poor detoxification. In this episode, you’ll learn: Genetics vs. Genomics: The difference between fixed mutations and "snips" (SNPs) that you can optimize with nutritional cofactors. The "Folate Trap": Why taking high doses of methylfolate can sometimes backfire if your B12 levels aren't addressed first. Beyond MTHFR: Why looking at the big picture (including pathways like glucuronidation and histamine metabolism) is vital for hormone health and longevity. Personalized Medicine: Why "automated" genetic reports often lead to "analysis paralysis" and why a customized, practitioner-led approach is essential. Environmental Triggers: How toxins, stress, and poor soil quality interact with your unique genetic blueprint. Whether you are struggling with unexplained infertility, chronic fatigue, or just want to optimize your "healthspan," this conversation provides a roadmap for using your DNA as a tool for empowerment rather than a source of fear.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The GLP-1 insanity is a prime example of how all realms of the health world are once again completely in the dark on what causes unwanted weight gain, and even what causes all varieties of chronic mystery illness. The entire health movement falling for the fix-all GLP-1 theory alone, never mind the blatant stupidity of GLP-1 drug injections as a manner to control appetite and weight, is as bad as every other trend and great mistake that either didn't work or injured and harmed healthy and sick people for the last 100 years. Seeing these mistakes on repeat while watching future lives get destroyed is beyond disheartening. There are many reasons why the GLP-1 insanity is just outright wrong, and this won't be the only episode on the subject. Nevertheless, let's get down to one of the worst reasons about this trend: When you inject anything subcutaneously and not intravenously, like a B12 injection or injectable drugs such as an antibiotic shot, there is a chance, over time, for your body to react by creating an antibody to the substance being injected. In this case of GLP-1 injections, an antibody can develop over time that tags the hormone peptide agonist as an enemy, which then causes side effects and complications long-term, namely weight-control problems and other issues. Unfortunately, it is already transpiring in people today. In this episode, learn many of the reasons why the GLP-1 insanity isn't the right course of action, and stay tuned for future episodes on the subject… In this episode… Learn why you should avoid GLP-1 injections if you are using them for weight loss and control. Find out what happens to the adrenals when administering GLP-1 drug injections. Discover the truth about what really controls the emptying of the contents inside the stomach. Learn how medical research and science has missed the mark on the hormone that supposedly creates the hunger cutoff switch. See how the pancreas gets weakened by forcing it to perform on-demand. Learn about why someone would even develop any side effects from using GLP-1 injections. Uncover the truth about the health industry's warped direction of the GLP-1 trend. Learn how there are healthier ways to work naturally with your body's ability to lose unwanted weight and it doesn't involve the alternative trendy guessing games recommended to replace GLP-1 drugs. Discover how the high-fat diet everyone partakes in, regardless of how healthy it is believed to be, works against weight loss and causes adrenal problems, especially in women. All this and more, tune in and don't miss out on this important episode. You can revisit this episode anytime you need it. For more information visit www.medicalmedium.com

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 3-05-2026: >ul> Dr. Dawn presents a whimsical "theme park tour" of the upper gastrointestinal tract, from saliva production triggered by sight and smell of food, through the esophageal sphincter's iris-like opening, into the stomach's pH-1 acid bath where parietal cells produce 3,000 mg of hydrochloric acid per meal. She explains protective mechanisms including the bicarbonate layer beneath stomach mucus, H. pylori's role in ulcers, and how H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors work—cautioning about long-term PPI effects on B12 and calcium absorption. The tour continues through the pylorus into the duodenum where pancreatic enzymes and bile converge, then along the 23-foot small intestine with its tennis-court surface area of villi absorbing nutrients, iron in the duodenum, most nutrients in the jejunum, and B12 requiring intrinsic factor in the ileum. Dr. Dawn explains why pancreatic cancer—projected to become the second leading cause of cancer death by 2030—is so deadly, using a medieval castle metaphor. The tumor microenvironment acts as an impenetrable moat of desmoplastic stroma made of fibroblasts, collagen, and hyaluronic acid that blocks drugs and immune cells. Over 90% of cases have K-RAS mutations acting as growth accelerators that also thicken this protective barrier and increase CD47 "don't eat me" signals. She discusses emerging treatments including K-RAS inhibitors, PARP inhibitors for BRCA mutations, and combination immunotherapies showing 67% response rates, while noting that CAR T-cell therapy and checkpoint inhibitors alone fail because they cannot penetrate the stroma. Dr. Dawn summarizes Duke researcher Herman Ponzer's work using doubly-labeled water to measure total energy expenditure, revealing that humans burn 20-60% more calories than other great apes when adjusted for body mass. His surprising finding: Hadza hunter-gatherers walking 8-14 kilometers daily burn the same calories as sedentary Americans—the body compensates by reducing energy spent on inflammation and stress responses. This "constrained energy expenditure" model explains why exercise alone doesn't cause weight loss, though it remains crucial for preventing weight gain, reducing disease risk, and potentially tamping down harmful stress responses.

Dr. Aaron Zelikovich discusses recent survey findings highlighting the wide variability in how clinicians evaluate and diagnose small fiber neuropathy. Fill out the Neurology® Clinical Practice Current survey.  Show citation:  Thawani S, Chan M, Ostendorf T, et al. How Well do We Evaluate Small Fiber Neuropathy?: A Survey of American Academy of Neurology Members. J Clin Neuromuscul Dis. 2025;26(4):184-195. Published 2025 Jun 2. doi:10.1097/CND.0000000000000502  Show transcript:  Dr. Aaron Zelikovich: Welcome to today's Neurology Minute. My name is Aaron Zelikovich, a neuromuscular specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. Today, we will discuss a recent article, How Well Do We Evaluate Small Fiber Neuropathy? A survey of The American Academy of Neurology members, which evaluates small fiber neuropathy in clinical practice. The current landscape of evaluating and testing for small fiber neuropathy remains highly variable in regards to serum testing, skin biopsy, and nerve conduction studies. In this survey study, 800 members of The American Academy of Neurology were randomly selected and emailed a survey. 400 neuromuscular physicians and 400 non-neuromuscular physicians were selected. The overall response rate was 30% with half of the completed surveys coming from neuromuscular physicians. The most common overall initial blood work for this patient population was a CBC, vitamin B12, basic metabolic profile, TSH, and hemoglobin A1C. Other high yield blood tests included ESR, SPEP, immunofixation, and ANA. 70% of responders would also order a nerve conduction study as part of the initial workup. Second line evaluation had less consensus and included skin biopsies for intraepidermal nerve fiber density, hepatitis panel, HIV, and paraneoplastic testing. Responders noted that if the patient had acute onset of symptoms, had symptoms that were asymmetric, or being under 30 years old, they would order a more extensive workup. The authors discussed the importance of both clinical exam, history, and diagnostic workup in patients with symptoms compatible with small fiber neuropathy. They highlight that there is no current objective gold standard for a diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy. The current diagnostic recommendation by the AAN for distal symmetric polyneuropathy includes serum blood sampling for glucose, vitamin B12, SPEP, and immunofixation. Clinical practice in the diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy remains highly variable based on the provider and clinical context of the patient. Neurology Practice Current is currently accepting surveys on clinical practice patterns for patients with small fiber neuropathy. Please check out the link in today's Neurology Minute to complete the survey. Thank you and have a wonderful day. 

Mitochondria, Metabolism & Modern Medicine   When "Everything Looks Normal"… But You Don't Feel Normal The Cellular Health Conversation Most People Never Get Why Your Energy, Hormones, and Metabolism Start at the Mitochondria   You can be "doing everything right"… and still feel wiped out by 2 p.m.  You can have "normal" labs… and still feel like something is off.    In this episode of Richer Soul, Rocky sits down with Dr. William Haas to explore what modern medicine often misses: cellular dysfunction, mitochondrial health, gut integrity, hormones, toxins, and recovery tools like hyperbaric oxygen—especially for high performers who hit the wall despite clean living.  "Medical school is teaching how to manage disease. And that was a rude awakening."    5 Soul-Level Insights from Dr. William Haas: (This isn't about chasing more hacks. It's about understanding what your body is telling you.)  Mitochondria aren't just "energy." Dr. Haas explains mitochondria produce ATP (your energy currency) and influence inflammation and immune pathways—so mitochondrial dysfunction can ripple into far more than fatigue.  Some "normal" meds can quietly derail cellular performance. He specifically calls out antibiotics like Cipro and Levoquin as "terrible" for mitochondrial health, notes OTC anti-inflammatories can "uncouple" mitochondria, and discusses metformin potentially impacting mitochondria and contributing to B12 deficiency.  Food sensitivities may be a symptom, not the root cause. When people "light up like a Christmas tree" on food sensitivity testing, Dr. Haas says it often points to gut barrier issues ("leaky gut")—and that fixing the gut can make sensitivities go away.  Hormones don't fail in isolation—stress and sleep shape the outcome. He emphasizes starting with fundamentals like sleep, alcohol reduction, and stress management, and explains "cortisol steal" where high stress drives cortisol production at the expense of testosterone.  Metabolism isn't magic: build lean muscle. When asked how to increase metabolic rate, Dr. Haas gives the simplest (and most effective) answer: build lean muscle mass.    Why This Conversation Matters: Dr. Haas shares that in his 40s—while scaling his medical practice, starting another business helping other doctors, and growing his family—fatigue hit hard, even while he was "doing the right things." It became a wake-up moment that something at a cellular level was off.  That experience pushed him deeper into what he describes as cellular medicine: mitochondria, redox/repair pathways, hormones, toxins, and tools like hyperbaric oxygen.  And it highlights a hard truth for high performers: If your health collapses, your freedom collapses with it.    Money Learning: Dr. Haas also touches a reality most people don't think about: Becoming a doctor can delay earning for a long time. He says he was about 38 when he made his first "real" doctor paycheck—and contrasts that with his brother who started earning right after college.  Rocky adds an important point: sometimes the best decisions happen outside the traditional insurance-driven system—when you can get proactive testing and establish baselines, rather than waiting until the system says you're "sick enough" to qualify.    Key Takeaway: If you want more energy, better recovery, and a longer health span, you can't only focus on symptoms—you have to protect the foundations: mitochondria, gut function, hormones, and lean muscle mass.    Guest Bio: Dr. William Haas: Dr. William Haas is trained in family practice and describes his path into integrative medicine, which he frames as focusing on prevention, food as medicine, the mind-body connection, and pulling tools from different healing modalities. He also mentions training/mentorship with Andrew Weil.  In this episode, he discusses deeper evaluation beyond basic labs, including gut function/microbiome, micronutrients, hormones, inflammation, and toxins such as mycotoxins/mold, microplastics, and heavy metals.    Links: Website: https://vyvewellness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VYVEWellness/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vyvewellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VYVEWellness Blog: https://vyvewellness.com/blog/   Ready to Go Deeper?

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Linda: Hi Dr. Cabral, I listen to your podcast every morning when I drive my son to school. I love it! Recently, you mentioned the 4 things to do to add 14 years of life. Typically, I have a serving of aronia berries or goji berries every day. Does that count for one of the 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day? Or, does the fruit have to be fresh or frozen? Thank you!! Linda    Morgan: Hi Dr Cabral! I have fair skin and as I get older (currently in my mid-30s) I notice that I'm getting lots more freckles on my body- when I was younger I almost never got them. I'm curious if this is an indication of something health-related or if it's "just aging". Is there anything I can do to change this? Thank you!    Maria: Can you talk about watery eyes?. usually every morning , corner of my eyes get watery and I always have to wipe them sometimes 2 to 3 times before I put my mascara on. Thank you for all you do spreading your knowledge. I love listening to your podcast every day, especially on the weekends. I really love the way you recap the week. Thanks again!    S: I've been seeing xylitol nasal sprays being promoted lately. How is xylitol supposed to help nasal passages and is it safe and effective? When could this be helpful or not?    Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral, My son is 15 and has been grinding his teeth since age 6. It's not severe, but consistent. At 6, one craniosacral session reduced it by about half. Since then, he has had craniosacral therapy every few years, which helps but does not eliminate it. He also saw a physiotherapist specializing in neck and jaw, which helped slightly, though craniosacral was more effective. He likely has mild Scheuermann's based on posture, similar to his father and grandmother. None of them are diagnosed, but all show the same posture. Not sure if there can be a link. He has never had headaches or similar issues. He is active and happy. He takes daily: multivitamin, magnesium (Magnesium taurate, magnesium gluconate, zinc picolinate), vitamin D, and zinc picolinate. The multivitamin is either food-state or a highly absorbable formula with high-dose B12 (methylcobalamin & adenosylcobalamin), active vitamin D3 from lichen. We live in Denmark, which does not allow import of the lab tests used by EquiLife anymore, so that is not an option. What would you recommend? Thank you for your time.  Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3649 - - - 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?

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I'm a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist and CEO of the Healthy Heart Network, discusses the importance of vitamin B12. He explains how B12 supports red blood cell formation, DNA synthesis, brain function, and nerve health. Factors like diet, age, certain health conditions, and medications can increase the risk of B12 deficiency. Dr. Warrick highlights the significance of B12 testing and different forms of B12 supplementation, especially for individuals with genetic factors impacting B12 metabolism. He suggests incorporating B12 testing into routine blood work and seeking medical advice for replenishing B12 levels, especially in cases of deficiency.

Before we talk about symptoms, hormones, or interventions we have to examine the words we use to describe women, aging, and the most natural biological transitions of our lives. Because language doesn't just reflect our attitudes—it actively shapes how we experience our bodies, our worth, and our place in the world.Drawing from personal experience, cultural history, etymology, and media portrayals, I explore why menopause and women's aging have been shrouded in silence, stigma, and shame—and how deeply sexist assumptions are embedded in the very words we use.In this episode, we explore:* Why women “age out” of relevance while men “age into” status* The origins of words like spinster, crone, hag, hysterical, and old maid—and what they reveal about cultural bias* How euphemisms around menstruation and menopause reinforce secrecy and shame* Why even the word menopause frames it as a loss rather than a transition* The surprising animal origins of words (“animalogies”) like estrus, estrogen, and crone* How media has (rarely) addressed menopause* Why reclaiming language is a powerful act of self-respect, agency, and healingThis conversation is for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause—and for anyone who loves, lives with, or wants to better support them.
