Dr Austin Perlmutter, neurobiology, mood and decision-making expert, joins our ambassador Dr Adrian Lopresti as they explore the biological basis of “stuckness” in the mind and how the brain is influenced by inflammatory/immune triggers which results is certain behaviours and health outcomes. Together they discuss the relationship between sickness behaviour, neuroinflammation and their effect on the brain leading to our inherent tendency to return to “default”. Nature vs nurture is discussed where exposures from foetal development, childhood trauma and genetic influences can impact our mental and cognitive flexibility much later in life. Austin explains “disconnection syndrome” a modern conundrum where our brains tend to latch onto impulsive behaviours leading to cognitive decline. It's not all doom and gloom as Austin and Adrian bring practical solutions to the table in the form of simple lifestyle adjustments that promotes behavioural change and reduce neuroinflammation.

How Liver Congestion Impacts Brain Function In this episode, we dive into the connection between liver congestion and brain health, focusing on how toxin buildup and blood-brain barrier dysfunction can contribute to brain fog, cognitive decline, and neuroinflammation. A congested liver allows toxins to leak into the bloodstream, which can reach the brain, impairing function. We also explore the gut-liver-brain axis, the role of vagal tone in detoxification, and how chronic stress exacerbates liver dysfunction, leading to cognitive issues. We discuss holistic strategies to support liver and brain health, such as: Supporting bile flow and liver detox with nutrient-dense foods (cruciferous vegetables, bitter greens, and lemon water). Strengthening vagal tone through breathwork, deep breathing, and cold exposure. Supporting gut health and reducing toxin load with probiotics and digestive aids. D.R.E.S.S. Protocol for Liver Health FDN Practitioners use the D.R.E.S.S. for Health Success® framework to restore liver function naturally: Diet: Focus on nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory foods, like cruciferous vegetables and bitter greens, while reducing liver stressors like processed foods and alcohol. Rest: Ensure 7-9 hours of quality sleep to optimize liver detoxification. Exercise & Movement: Encourage daily movement (walking, strength training) to support lymphatic drainage and avoid overtraining. Stress Reduction: Use techniques like breathwork and meditation to lower cortisol and reduce stress on the liver. Supplements: Targeted liver detox support with Milk Thistle, NAC, Glutathione, B vitamins, and herbs like dandelion and burdock root. Functional lab testing, including GI-MAP, DUTCH, and Organic Acids Test, helps uncover root causes of liver congestion and cognitive dysfunction. These insights allow for personalized health protocols to optimize liver-brain-gut function and improve overall health. Key Takeaways – FDN Practitioner Approach to Liver Health: Investigate root causes using functional labs (GI MAP, DUTCH, OAT, CMP, Lipid Panel). Correlate lab markers with symptoms (fatigue, skin issues, hormone imbalances, digestion). Apply D.R.E.S.S. principles to restore detoxification pathways. Monitor progress and adjust protocols for personalized liver support. Tune in to learn how functional medicine and holistic strategies can improve brain clarity, mood, and overall health.

About the Guest(s): Dr. Kristin Hieshetter is the host of Functional Health Radio and a seasoned chiropractor specializing in the nervous system. She is passionately dedicated to integrating alternative health modalities, notably low level laser therapy (LLLT), into clinical practice to improve patient outcomes. Dr. Hieshetter has extensive experience in utilizing LLLT to treat various conditions, particularly focusing on nervous system disorders, and she actively participates in a community of healthcare providers advocating for the benefits of such technologies. Episode Summary: In this captivating episode of Functional Health Radio, Dr. Kristin Hieshetter delves into the fascinating domain of low level laser therapy (LLLT), tracing its roots, applications, and immense potential in modern healthcare. Introducing listeners to a classified 1983 document by Wayne M. McDonnell, Dr. Hieshetter uncovers the early explorations into how frequencies and light pulses can modulate brain function and alter states of consciousness.

Here in episode 186 - Why We Care what Other People Think, we are going to discuss this topic because It's a question that comes up a lot, especially for missionaries and young adults navigating big life transitions. In this episode, I dive into the fascinating reasons behind our innate desire to compare ourselves to others and worry about their perceptions of us. The truth is, this tendency to organize people into hierarchies and constantly assess our standing is a protective function of the brain - it has deep evolutionary roots in helping us ensure our survival. But just because it's natural doesn't mean we have to let it control us. I share practical strategies for managing comparison, like focusing more on what you think of yourself than what you imagine others are thinking. The key is recognizing that your worth isn't defined by anyone else's opinions - you get to decide what you believe about yourself. Whether you're preparing for a mission, currently serving, or adjusting to life after, this episode will help you understand why the comparison game is so tempting, and empower you to stay in your own lane. Your mission and your life are unique to you - focus on your own strengths and goals, and let go of the need to measure up to anyone else. I hope these insights help you embrace your potential with confidence. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

I explain how many of the positive effects of exercise on brain function occur through the action of specific neurochemicals that increase alertness. I also cover how to best time exercise and which specific types of exercise to include in your weekly routine to maximize benefits for your brain. Additionally, I explain how certain types of exercise trigger the release of a hormone from your bones called osteocalcin, as well as brain-derived neurotrophic factor. Together, these substances increase neuroplasticity and enhance learning. The positive effects of exercise on brain oxygenation, blood supply, and fuel utilization are also discussed. Listeners will learn how to design a weekly exercise program that optimizes physical fitness, brain health, longevity, and performance, along with the mechanistic logic behind those recommendations.
