If you are thinking about having a baby in the next year or two, or you have been trying for a while and wondering if your nutrition could be doing more, this episode is a genuinely useful place to start. And if you are in your 20s or 30s and have not had a blood test recently because you feel fine and assume everything is probably okay, Leanne and Susie have something to say about that too. This week on The Nutrition Couch, they dig into the nutrition and lifestyle strategies that actually move the needle on fertility outcomes, what the research says about diet patterns, key nutrients, and male fertility, and the common mistakes that quietly work against conception that most women have never been told about. In this episode: The Australian longitudinal study of over 5,000 women linking anti-inflammatory dietary patterns to better fertility outcomes, and what that actually looks like on a plate day to day The key nutrients that appear time and time again in fertility research: omega-3s, vitamin D, vitamin E, and natural folate, why food sources beat supplements in almost every case, and the one supplement Susie did take during pregnancy The MTHFR gene mutation: what it is, how common it is, why women with this mutation should not be taking synthetic folate in standard prenatal supplements, and how to find out if you have it Why male fertility contributes to 40 to 50% of fertility challenges and is chronically overlooked, and what partners should actually be doing differently The under-eating and overtraining pattern that silently disrupts ovulation and hormonal health even in women who appear to be doing everything right The truth about caffeine and fertility: the research does not say what most people assume, and Susie explains exactly how much is genuinely safe if you are trying to conceive The blood tests Leanne recommends for every woman in her 20s and 30s, including the ones most GPs do not automatically order, and the vague symptoms that are easy to dismiss but might actually signal something easily fixed Why low ferritin is one of the most underdiagnosed and undertreated issues in young Australian women, and Susie's case study of a client whose iron had been dangerously low for two decades without anyone properly addressing it The Harvest Pantry Protein Smoothie reviewed: clean ingredients, impressive packaging, and a protein claim on the front of the pack that requires an asterisk the size of a footnote to actually be true The nine-month-old baby and solids question: how much milk is too much, why iron should be the focus of every meal at this age, and the feeding order that makes a bigger difference than most parents realise Shop Designed by Dietitians: Looking to support your protein, creatine, magnesium, or collagen intake with evidence-based supplements made in Australia?

Why do some people appear to age faster than others, even when they are the same age? Researchers increasingly believe that chronological age tells only part of the story. Biological age attempts to capture how well the body's systems are functioning and may provide a more meaningful picture of overall health. A research paper on this topic was published in Volume 18 of Aging titled “Blood biochemical and gut microbiotic neural network models forecasting human biological age.” In the study, Russian researchers explored whether information from routine blood tests and the gut microbiome could be used to estimate biological age.

In this episode of It Takes Balls, testicular cancer survivor Tony Salas shares how his cancer journey led him into one of the newest and most rapidly evolving areas of cancer surveillance: MicroRNA-371 testing and Signatera ctDNA monitoring.Tony opens up about the symptoms and diagnosis that changed his life, including the whirlwind of appointments, surgery, and learning how quickly testicular cancer treatment decisions have to be made. But what makes his story especially unique is what came after treatment—navigating surveillance while trying to avoid chemotherapy and gain greater confidence in whether his cancer was truly gone.Throughout the episode, Tony discusses using MicroRNA 371, an emerging blood test showing major promise in detecting active germ cell tumors, along with Signatera, a personalized circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) test designed to monitor for residual disease and recurrence. He shares what it was like balancing traditional surveillance methods like CT scans and tumor markers with these newer technologies, and how the uncertainty of recurrence can weigh heavily on survivors mentally and emotionally.The conversation also explores the emotional side of survivorship, including scannxiety, the fear of recurrence, and the challenge of moving forward after treatment while still feeling tied to constant monitoring. Tony speaks candidly about the importance of self-advocacy, staying informed about evolving cancer research, and finding ways to regain a sense of control during survivorship.This episode is not only a powerful survivor story, but also an insightful look at the future of testicular cancer surveillance and personalized cancer monitoring. Whether you're navigating a diagnosis, currently in surveillance, or interested in the latest advances in testicular cancer treatment and recurrence detection, Tony's experience offers both hope and perspective.Provide your feedback on the podcast:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/itbsurveyJoin The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

Send us Fan MailIn this week's Friday Five, I'm breaking down some of the standard blood markers I commonly look at in clinic when somebody is dealing with autoimmune disease, inflammation, fatigue, or hair loss — including alopecia.One of the biggest misconceptions I see is that “normal” blood tests automatically mean everything is functioning optimally. But in reality, many people continue to struggle with symptoms despite being told their results are fine.In this episode, I explain why interpretation matters just as much as the numbers themselves, and why looking at patterns across the body can often reveal far more than one isolated marker.I discuss:• Ferritin, transferrin and the wider iron picture• Why ferritin alone may not tell the full story in inflammatory conditions• Thyroid markers beyond TSH, including Free T3, Free T4 and thyroid antibodies• The role of thyroid hormone conversion in energy, metabolism and hair health• Vitamin D and immune regulation• Zinc and its role in immune resilience, skin and hair health• White blood cells, neutrophils and lymphocyte patterns in autoimmune disease• What triglycerides can tell us about metabolism, blood sugar regulation and inflammation• Why markers like serum B12 or HbA1c may not always reflect the full picture• The importance of interpreting symptoms alongside laboratory testingThis episode is not about becoming fearful of blood tests or obsessing over numbers. It's about understanding the body more deeply and recognising that subtle shifts in markers can sometimes provide important clues long before symptoms become more significant.If you've ever been told “everything looks normal” but still feel that something is off, this episode is for you.

Your doctor orders a lipid panel every year — but 3 cheap blood tests predict heart disease, diabetes, and even dementia far better than cholesterol, and most doctors never order them. In this episode, Robert Lufkin MD walks through fasting insulin + HOMA-IR, homocysteine, and high-sensitivity CRP — three tests that together cost about $60, take one blood draw, and catch the metabolic dysfunction a standard lipid panel systematically misses.

A new Alzheimer's blood test was just approved by the FDA and it changes everything about how families get answers. For years, confirming Alzheimer's disease meant expensive brain scans or invasive procedures most people couldn't access. Now a simple blood draw can detect Alzheimer's markers in the body... up to 3 to 4 years before symptoms even begin. In this episode I break down what the Alzheimer's blood test actually measures, how accurate it is, and what you can ask your doctor right now.

Ferritin looks “fine” on your blood test, yet you still feel wiped out, breathless, flat, and foggy. Or you take iron faithfully and nothing moves. That gap between symptoms and pathology is where iron gets genuinely confusing, so we brought in naturopath Laura Taylor, who specialises in gut health and iron deficiency, to explain what's actually happening beneath the numbers. We walk through iron absorption in plain language, then zoom in on inflammation and hepcidin, the hormone that can shut the ferroportin gate and trap iron where you cannot use it. From there, we unpack the difference between true iron deficiency and functional iron deficiency, why ferritin can rise during inflammation, and how relying on ferritin alone can lead to missed clues. We also talk transferrin and transferrin saturation, plus the inflammatory markers that help you spot when iron is being sequestered rather than replenished. On the practical side, we get into modern iron supplementation strategies, including alternate day dosing and why lower elemental doses can outperform the old high-dose approach. Laura shares why iron bisglycinate is often better tolerated, how too much iron can irritate the gut and feed unwanted microbes, and which cofactors matter most for results, including vitamin C, B12, folate, copper, and zinc. We finish with a clinician-style framework for finding the driver of low iron, from coeliac disease and IBS to heavy bleeding, NSAID use, thyroid changes, and the shifting hormone landscape of perimenopause and menopause. If you want clearer answers from your iron studies and a smarter plan that matches your body's biology, hit play, subscribe, share this with someone who keeps being told “your iron is normal”, and leave a review to help more people find the show.PROMO OFFER: $50 off The Iron Code – an on-demand training to help practitioners feel confident treating iron deficiency.

A 96% accurate blood test for ME/CFS just dropped. And yes, it matters. But not for the reason you think. Today, I'll break down exactly what the new EpiSwitch test found, what it cannot tell you, and why no single lab result has ever been what actually gets people better. After a decade of working with long COVID and chronic fatigue syndrome patients, I've seen one consistent pattern: the people who recover are not the ones with the best test results. They're the ones who addressed all five root causes, no matter what the labs showed. In this episode, you'll learn: What the EpiSwitch test actually measures and why 96% accuracy is not the full story Why a negative result does not mean you are well What the "Toxic 5" are and why missing even one keeps people stuck How imperfect lab tests have fooled even experienced clinicians Why nervous system dysfunction is now confirmed in 57% of long COVID patients Discover your fatigue score and the root causes keeping you stuck: https://myfatiguescore.com Free Fatigue Masterclass: https://www.energymdmethod.com/masterclass-registration See real client results: https://energymdmethod.com/results Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 00:28 - What Is the New ME/CFS Blood Test? 00:57 - How the EpiSwitch Platform Works 01:27 - Epigenetics Explained Simply 01:56 - The Helmholtz Center Study and the LCMO Cell 02:21 - Why This Validation Matters 02:50 - What the Headlines Are Leaving Out 03:19 - Why ME/CFS and Long COVID Are Not One Single Disease 03:48 - Evan's Personal Story and the Diagnosis Gap 04:46 - The Mold House Analogy 05:16 - CIRS and the Limits of Inflammatory Markers 05:46 - What Actually Drives Recovery: The Toxic Five 06:15 - Why Lab Tests Are Imperfect and What to Do About It 07:09 - Root Causes 11:53 - The Pattern Evan Has Seen in Every Recovery 12:23 - What the New Test Cannot Give You 12:51 - Celebrate the Science, But Don't Wait for It 13:43 - Three Things to Take Away from This Episode 14:40 - Free Masterclass Invitation 15:10 - Share This with Someone Who Needs It Subscribe to the EnergyMD Podcast for weekly conversations with leading experts on resolving ME/CFS and Long COVID by addressing the real root causes. .

A recent study published in Nature Medicine claims a blood test can predict when you'll develop Alzheimer's disease, and it got a lot of attention. But how well does it actually work, and should you rush out and get tested? In this episode, we break down the study behind the headlines to understand what it really shows, where the major limitations lie, and what it means for anyone thinking about getting this kind of test. Topics and Questions Covered What P-Tau 217 is and why it's become the leading blood-based biomarker in Alzheimer's research. How researchers built a predictive "clock" from blood test data and what that process required. The important distinction between having pathology in your brain and actually developing dementia. Who should and should not be getting tested. What a large Norwegian population study reveals about the overlap between pathology and normal cognitive function. How biomarkers like this might eventually fit into a broader, more personalized approach to prevention. and more! -------------- To submit a question for us to answer on the podcast, go to brainjo.academy/question.

Using AI to diagnose your own business is like Googling your blood test results and treating yourself. In this episode, I share what seven years of post-transplant care taught me about pattern recognition, and why the same principle applies to the WHO and WHAT decisions most tech business owners are avoiding. I walk through the difference between a tool that helps you execute and someone who has seen your situation hundreds of times and knows exactly where the problem is. If AI is giving you polished output but no real direction, this one is worth your time.Resources and LinksNeed help with your WHO and WHAT decisions?

Send a textA splenic mass is one of those findings that can flip a normal day into a crisis. You may have an older Labrador or Golden Retriever, an ultrasound that shows a splenic tumor, and an owner asking the question you cannot fully answer yet: “Is it cancer?” We sit down with Dr. Janet Grimes to unpack why that gap between suspicion and certainty is so hard in canine medicine and why better preoperative diagnostics for splenic masses could change everything from emergency decisions to long-term screening.We walk through what veterinarians currently juggle when counseling clients, including the role of hemoabdomen, the wide spread in prognosis between benign lesions and canine hemangiosarcoma, and how rules of thumb like the double two-thirds rule fit (or do not fit) in different clinical scenarios. Then we zoom in on the science of microRNAs: tiny non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression and can be detected in circulation, making them promising minimally invasive biomarkers for veterinary oncology.Dr. Grimes explains how a multi-marker microRNA panel is built from blood samples and measured with quantitative RT-PCR, why panels can be more specific than single markers, and what it could look like to use this as a send-out test today with the longer-term goal of a cage-side diagnostic. We also discuss the real-world barriers: differentiating hemangiosarcoma from other splenic malignancies, avoiding misleading results in sick dogs, and integrating any new test as an adjunct to physical exam, imaging, and standard lab work.If you care about earlier cancer detection in dogs, smarter decision-making around splenectomy, and the future of blood-based cancer diagnostics, listen through to the end and share this with a colleague.

Advances in predictive medicine are starting to raise a fascinating question: what if we could estimate our longevity with much greater accuracy? New blood tests and biomarkers are being developed that may help identify risks for diseases years—or even decades—before symptoms appear. Some researchers believe these tools could eventually provide meaningful clues about how long we might live. If that happens, it could have major implications for retirement planning. Should information about your potential lifespan influence when you retire, how much you spend, or how you invest? In this episode, we explore how predictive medicine is evolving, what scientists are learning from advanced blood testing, and whether this kind of information could one day reshape how people plan for retirement.

Ever been told your blood tests are “normal”, but you’re still exhausted, flat, foggy, struggling with weight changes, or just not feeling like yourself? In this episode of The Nutrition Couch, Leanne and Susie unpack the difference between normal and optimal blood test results, and why women need to look beyond a quick “everything’s fine” from the doctor. They break down the key markers worth tracking over time, including glucose, HbA1c, ferritin, vitamin D, cholesterol, thyroid, and estrogen, especially for women in their 30s, 40s and beyond. They also dive into a new warning linked with GLP-1 medications, including how appetite suppression can reduce diet quality and increase the risk of nutrient deficiencies if you are not actively protecting your intake. Plus, they review a high-protein granola topper and answer a listener question on the healthiest takeaway options. In this episode, we cover: Why normal blood tests are not always optimal The blood markers women should track over time Low ferritin, fatigue, brain fog and poor exercise tolerance Glucose, HbA1c and the early signs of insulin resistance Vitamin D, cholesterol, thyroid and estrogen changes to watch Why women in perimenopause and menopause need to pay closer attention The new GLP-1 nutrient deficiency concern Why eating less can still mean poor nutrition Product review: Coastal Crunch Protein Crunch Listener question: the healthiest takeaway choices If you’ve ever felt dismissed by “normal” results, this episode will help you ask better questions and understand what to look at more closely.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hidden Hunger: The Importance of Micronutrients: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin focuses on the critical role of micronutrients—vitamins and minerals—in overall health. Leyla highlights the global issue of 'hidden hunger,' a deficiency in essential micronutrients that silently affects billions worldwide. She explains the impact of this deficit on immune function, growth, energy metabolism, and chronic disease prevention. The discussion includes key micronutrients like vitamins A, C, D, E, B complex, iron, zinc, iodine, and selenium, and their sources. Leyla underscores the need for dietary diversity, fortification, targeted supplementation, and nutritional awareness to combat this pervasive issue. She also advises on recognizing symptoms of deficiencies and the importance of individualized nutrition plans guided by healthcare professionals.

Most people think lab tests are only useful once something is wrong. But what if your blood work could show you where your health is headed—years before disease ever develops? In today's Office Hours, I break down how to read your labs through a functional medicine lens—so you can spot early dysfunction, connect the dots between symptoms and biomarkers, and take control of your health before problems escalate. In this episode, I walk you through: • Why “normal” lab ranges often miss early warning signs • The key markers that reveal the most about metabolic health, inflammation, thyroid function, nutrients, and cardiovascular risk • How functional medicine focuses on optimal ranges, patterns, and trends—not just disease thresholds • What your labs can tell you about symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, and gut issues • How to track your numbers over time and ask smarter questions to shift from reaction to prevention Labs aren't just for diagnosing disease—they're a roadmap to optimizing your future health. When you understand your numbers, you stop guessing and start making data-driven decisions that build resilience and longevity. Visit ⁠functionhealth.com for 160+ lab tests at just $365 a year.

Millions live with chronic pain, fatigue, and brain fog—yet are told their tests are “normal.” In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan speaks with Dr. Bruce Gillis about what changes when fibromyalgia is treated as a measurable, immune-linked condition. This conversation is for anyone living with fibromyalgia symptoms, long COVID–like fatigue, or persistent pain who feels dismissed or unheard. Dr. Gillis explains the science behind immune cell dysfunction, why symptoms can be body-wide, and how objective testing may support better care and self-advocacy—without relying on guesswork. About the Guest: Dr. Bruce Gillis is a physician and researcher, and the founder of Epic Genetics. He discusses the FM1 diagnostic blood test for fibromyalgia and his research connecting fibromyalgia symptoms to immune system abnormalities. Key Takeaways: Fibromyalgia may involve measurable immune dysfunction, not “all in the head” symptoms Chronic pain, brain fog, sleep issues, and GI distress can share a common underlying pathway Objective testing can help patients advocate for themselves and clarify next steps Viral triggers and epigenetic changes may play a role in symptom onset for some people Patients who feel stuck may benefit from reviewing peer-reviewed research, not internet noise How to Connect With the Guest: FM1 test info: https://fm1test.com/ IMBIX info: https://www.imbxx.com   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

We got our big juicy pumps for this amazing episode! We started by talking about a couple pieces of personal news, including a shockingly cool number 4 ranking in the Ultra Runner of the Year voting... and some tough health findings from an MRI. The newest shoe review is a medical boot. It's still better than most trail shoes.The big science discussion was on a pair of studies on advanced female runners, with both finding low carbohydrate intake on training days. One of the studies on elite athletes found that 94.3% had low energy availability! We broaden out the discussion into nutritional approaches generally. And David tries to broaden it out into a thinkpiece about the food pyramid. At a certain point, maybe your thinkpiece is so wrong that you eventually loop around and become right? Don't answer that.And this one was full of great topics! Other topics: our approach to training and health with the foot, a study on using heat training to substitute for other types of training, what we'd spend with $200 a month, how we are making money off AI, the Burrito League, some quick thoughts on continuous lactate monitors, Shelby Houlihan and Molly Seidel setting records at trail races, Raya for trail and ultra runners, sleep and FKTs, blood tests and training for downhills in a flat place.We love you all!
