You're tired all the time. Your joints ache. Your brain feels foggy. Your stomach is always off. You've been to multiple doctors, run the labs, and everything comes back "normal." So you're told it's stress, or aging, or maybe it's all in your head. It's not. It's chronic inflammation, and it's the hidden thread connecting most long-term diseases, from heart disease and diabetes to Alzheimer's, autoimmune conditions, and even cancer. That's chronic inflammation, and it's happening in your joints, your gut, your brain, your arteries, and your metabolism- quietly, invisibly, for years before symptoms force you to pay attention. You'll learn the 5R framework for gut repair, why sleep is the most underrated anti-inflammatory tool, how to eat to lower inflammation starting today, and which supplements actually move the needle when layered on top of solid habits. If you've been chasing diagnoses, collecting labels, or told your symptoms don't match anything "real," this episode is your roadmap out. Chronic inflammation is measurable, fixable, and under your control once you understand what's feeding it.

On this episode of Innovate & Elevate, Sharon sits down with Dr. Corinne Menn, an OB-GYN, menopause specialist, and breast cancer survivor, to unpack one of the most misunderstood topics in women's health: the relationship between breast cancer risk and hormone therapy. Recorded eight days after the FDA announced it will remove the long-standing black box language on hormone therapy, this conversation traces the legacy of the 2002 Women's Health Initiative press conference, what the data actually showed, and how modern evidence can better guide women and their clinicians today.What You'll Learn from this Episode:What really happened in July 2002, and why the WHI press conference (held eight days before doctors saw the full study) reshaped hormone therapy for a generation.The difference between estrogen alone and combined estrogen–progestin therapy, and why age, timing, and formulation matter.Why every major professional society (ASCO, ACOG, American Urological Association, The Menopause Society) agrees that local, low-dose vaginal hormones do not increase breast cancer risk, recurrence, or mortality.The role of tools like the Tyrer–Cuzick breast cancer risk model in understanding your baseline risk - and how Dr. Menn interprets those results in the context of HRT.Dr. Menn's own story: being diagnosed with ER/PR-positive breast cancer at 28 during OB-GYN residency, going through abrupt menopause, and later discovering a BRCA2 mutation after updated genetic testingHow she now counsels breast cancer survivors about menopause, quality of life, and when hormone therapy may or may not be appropriatePractical ways women can prepare for a time-limited doctor's visit to have more informed, individualized conversations about breast cancer risk and hormone therapyAs always, nothing in this episode is personal medical advice.

Are you still confused (or totally terrified) about hormone therapy because of what you heard that it causes cancer? Do you have breast cancer and have been told you cannot take hormone therapy, but still question if this is true? Then this episode is for you. Today I sit down with cancer survivor Dr. Lindsey Berkson, one of the most outspoken, evidence-driven voices in hormone science. She has been on the front lines for more than 40 years, challenging misinformation, teaching clinicians, and calling out the myths that have held women back from lifesaving care. We cover: What really happened in the 2002 WHI study and why the press release created global panic Why estrogen may be breast-protective…even for breast cancer patients What the 2024 NIH study of 10 million women revealed about HRT Why not ALL estrogen is proliferative The discovery of ER-beta and how it reframed estrogen's role in cancer biology What 25 human trials show about HRT use in ER+ breast cancer survivors What is oxytocin and how does this hormone help women in menopause   Dr. Lindsey Berkson is a pioneer in hormone and nutritional health with over four decades of clinical and research experience. She's triple board-certified in nutrition, a hormone scholar at Tulane University's estrogen think tank, and one of the first practitioners to bridge endocrinology, nutrition, and gut health into an integrated approach to healing. She's also the author of more than 20 books, including Hormone Deception and Healthy Digestion the Natural Way, and has developed physician-formulated nutraceutical lines and patented bioidentical hormone applications.   New book: Oxytocin Medicine https://amzn.to/3JWdDAm Recommended Reading: Hormones 101 by Dr. Jeffrey Dash Courses: https://drlindseyberkson.com/courses/ Contact Dr. Lindsey Berkson Website: https://drlindseyberkson.com/ Instagram: @dlberkson https://www.instagram.com/dlberkson/ Facebook: @Dr.LindseyBerkson https://www.facebook.com/Dr.LindseyBerkson/ Give thanks to our sponsors: Try Vitali skincare. 20% off with code ZORA here - https://vitaliskincare.com Get Primeadine spermidine by Oxford Healthspan. 15% discount with code ZORA ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - http://oxfordhealthspan.com/discount/ZORA Get Mitopure Urolithin A by Timeline. 20% discount with code ZORA at https://timeline.com/zora Try Suji to improve muscle 10% off with code ZORA at TrySuji.com - https://trysuji.com Try OneSkin skincare with code ZORA for 15% off https://oneskin.pxf.io/c/3974954/2885171/31050   Join the Hack My Age community on: YouTube: https://youtube.com/@hackmyage Facebook Page: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@⁠Hack My Age⁠     Facebook Group: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@⁠Biohacking Menopause⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠   Biohacking Menopause Private Women's Only Support Group: https://hackmyage.com/biohacking-menopause-membership/ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@⁠HackMyAge⁠    Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HackMyAge.com⁠    For partnership inquiries: https://www.category3.ca/  For transparency: Some episodes of Hack My Age are supported by partners whose products or services may be discussed during the show.

The discussion highlights the importance of hydration, nutrition, and recovery strategies for endurance athletes. Vitamin D and gut health also play an important role in decreasing risks. Takeaways-- Some research suggests that Ultramarathoning may increase the risk of colorectal cancer.- Hydration and nutrition are critical for endurance athletes.- Vitamin D levels should be regularly assessed, especially in athletes.- The gut microbiome can change with extreme endurance activities.- Recovery is essential for preventing long-term damage in athletes.- Training the gut to tolerate nutrition is important for performance.- Repeated extreme endurance events can lead to gut ischemia (lack of blood flow).- Nutrient deficiencies can exacerbate health risks in athletes with IBD.- A tailored approach to nutrition is necessary for athletes with IBD.- Understanding the mechanisms behind gut health can inform better training practices.Chapters:00:00- Introduction to Ultrarunning and Colon Cancer Risk02:37- Exploring the Connection Between Endurance and Colorectal Cancer05:17- The Role of Hydration and Nutrition in Endurance Sports08:07- Nutritional Considerations for Athletes with IBD10:48- The Importance of Vitamin D in Athletic Performance13:38- Understanding the Mechanisms of Gut Damage in Endurance Athletes16:23- The Impact of Recovery on Gut Health19:05- Conclusions and Recommendations for Athletes with IBDFollow us on instagram @crohns_and_colitis_dietitiansFollow us on youtube @thecrohnscolitisdietitiansWe love helping provide quality content on IBD nutrition and making it more accessible to all through our podcast, instagram and youtube channel.

Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest common cancer, with more than half of people dying within three months of diagnosis and 80% of people diagnosed at a late stage.In this episode of the Clinical Update podcast, part of MIMS Learning's ‘Patient, Presentation, Pathway for Cancer' campaign, Rhiannon speaks to Rachel Richardson, a pancreatic cancer specialist nurse at Pancreatic Cancer UK.During their discussion, they consider the common but often vague symptoms patients may experience, including abdominal/back pain, unexplained weight loss, and new-onset diabetes. Rachel says: ‘Research does highlight that over 90% of pancreatic cancer patients will actually visit their GP with relevant symptoms in the 2 years before they're diagnosed. So really this represents such a crucial window of opportunity for earlier detection.'The discussion also covers key risk factors, the important link between pancreatic cancer and type 3c diabetes, and new diagnostic tools in development – such as breath and blood tests – that could help GPs detect pancreatic cancer earlier.Educational objectivesAfter listening to this podcast, healthcare professionals should be better able to:Recall the common, but often vague symptoms, of pancreatic cancerIdentify key risk factors, including age, family history, smoking, obesity and pancreatic cystsUnderstand the link between type 3c diabetes and pancreatic cancerRecognise the challenges in diagnosis, including late presentation and non-specific symptomsDescribe promising new diagnostic tools in development, such as breath and blood testsYou can access the website version of this podcast, along with a list of key learning points, on MIMS Learning - and make notes for your appraisal.MIMS Learning offers hundreds of hours of CPD for healthcare professionals, along with a handy CPD organiser.Please note: this podcast is presented by medical editors and discusses educational content written or presented by doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals on the MIMS Learning website and at live events.MIMS LearningSubscribe to MIMS LearningPodcast: Professor Willie Hamilton on cancer risk assessment toolsPodcast: Dr Patrick Holmes on identifying type 3c diabetes in primary carePancreatic cancer - red flag symptomsOther resourcesPancreatic Cancer UK.

Send us a textCancer is the second leading cause of death, and while it sparks fear for good reason, 40% of cases are preventable. In this episode, I outline six practical, evidence-based steps that can help reduce your risk.We begin by understanding which cancers are most common based on gender—breast, colon, and lung in women; prostate, colon, and lung in men. While some rare cancers (like pancreatic or ovarian) evoke greater fear, the focus here is on the ones we're more likely to face and can meaningfully act on.Next, I break down risk factors into two categories. Some are unavoidable—your sex, age, or family history. For example, if a close relative had breast or colon cancer, early screening or genetic testing may be warranted. However, only about 5–10% of cancers are directly linked to inherited genetic mutations (American Cancer Society).The more empowering list? Avoidable risk factors—where our actions matter most. Smoking remains the leading modifiable cause of cancer, responsible for about 19% of all cases. Excess weight and obesity account for another 8% and are especially tied to hard-to-treat cancers like pancreatic and ovarian (ScienceDirect) and PubMed). Visceral fat appears more predictive than BMI alone. Alcohol, especially in large quantities, is also linked to liver, GI, and breast cancers.Some risks are cancer-specific. HPV causes nearly all cervical cancers, and melanoma is largely driven by UV exposure. Air pollution, especially particulate matter, may slightly increase lung cancer risk (ASCO Global Oncology).Step three is to act on what you can. Quit smoking, aim for a healthy weight, wear sun protection, and ensure your kids get their routine HPV and Hepatitis B vaccines. Exercise plays a major role too—high activity levels correlate with 10–20% lower risk of several major cancers (JAMA). In colon cancer survivors, regular exercise reduced recurrence by 30% (PubMed).Step four is awareness: don't ignore new symptoms like unexplained bleeding or lumps. Early detection can be life-saving.Step five is screening. If you're 45 or older, colonoscopy is now recommended. Women should get regular mammograms and PAP smears, and individuals with smoking history may benefit from lung CT scans. For rarer cancers with family history, targeted screenings may apply. I also address why whole-body MRIs and liquid biopsies aren't ready for routine use.Step six? Don't put your hope in supplements. Large trials show omega-3s, vitamin D, beta carotene, and vitamin C offer no real protective benefit (NEJM VITAL Study, Meta-analysis on Vitamin C, JNCI on aspirin).Takeaways: You can reduce your cancer risk by modifying lifestyle factors like smoking, weight, and activity. Don't delay screenings—they catch cancers early when treatment is most effective. And remember: no supplement replaces proven preventive strategies.Visit drbobbylivelongandwell.com for more evidence-based tools, and listen to the full episode for actionable steps to help you live long and well.

What if having the same gene as your sister doesn't mean you'll have the same outcome? What if trauma and nervous system dysregulation could be the difference between expressing a genetic disease—or not? In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie Apigian answers a question from Rachel in Texas, who discovered she carries the BRCA gene mutation. Despite making the same lifestyle changes as her sister—who also has the mutation—Rachel developed breast cancer while her sister remained healthy. Why? Dr. Aimie reveals the biological mechanism that connects nervous system dysregulation to genetic expression: oxidative stress. This episode offers a scientifically grounded yet hopeful perspective on why two people with identical genetics can have vastly different health outcomes—and what you can do about it. In this episode you'll hear more about: Why BRCA mutation carriers have a 45-72% lifetime breast cancer risk (versus 12-13% in the general population)—but not everyone with the gene develops cancer The biological link between nervous system dysregulation and oxidative damage to DNA How BRCA genes interact with NRF2 antioxidant pathways, creating increased vulnerability to oxidative stress Why both sympathetic activation (stress/anxiety) and dorsal vagal shutdown (depression/numbness) decrease your body's ability to clear oxidative stress The "calm alive" state: when your body naturally engages its healing and antioxidant repair mechanisms Dana's story from The Biology of Trauma—a physician with childhood trauma who found a breast lump and learned to repair nervous system dysregulation Practical tools: why vitamin C and antioxidant-rich foods (broccoli, blueberries) matter for genetic conditions How somatic self-practices can quickly shift your nervous system state and support cellular repair Why having a genetic condition doesn't mean you're powerless—epigenetics shows us DNA expression can change Genetics load the gun, but environment and nervous system state pull the trigger. This episode is a powerful reminder that even when you carry genetic risk, your nervous system regulation, oxidative stress levels, and daily practices can dramatically influence whether those genes are expressed. Your biology is not a life sentence.

Most conversations about fertility focus on women. But here's the truth: up to 50% of infertility cases are male and men's reproductive health is a powerful window into their overall wellbeing, longevity, and disease risk.This week's guest, Professor Suks Minhas, world-leading consultant urologist and expert in male fertility is here to change how we think about men's health. With decades of clinical and research expertise, he reveals why sperm counts are falling, what it really says about men's health today, and the practical steps every man can take to protect his future.Together we explore: – Why male infertility makes up half of cases and why it's rarely discussed – The surprising links between sperm health, testosterone, and metabolic disease – DNA fragmentation: the overlooked cause of “unexplained infertility” – How lifestyle, stress, alcohol, and obesity directly affect fertility– The role of endocrine disruptors and environmental toxins in declining sperm quality – Fertility preservation: should men also consider freezing their sperm? – Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT): who it helps, who it harms, and why it can act as a male contraceptive – Actionable, evidence-based ways to optimise male fertility and long-term healthThis isn't just a conversation about reproduction. It's a wake-up call for men's health, fertility, and longevity.

You'll hear why the issue isn't the pill itself, but the dosing, the conversion to T3, and how reverse T3 plays a hidden role in slowing down your entire system. I'll explain how T4 can mimic estrogen in certain cancers, why reverse T3 puts your body into “hibernation mode,” and the essential nutrients that can protect your thyroid and keep conversion running smoothly.

Aging is more than disease—it's the steady decline of function. In this episode of Longevity by Design, Dr. Gil Blander speaks with physicist-turned-biotech innovator Dr. Peter Fedichev about why resilience, not diseases, holds the key to longer lives.Peter explains how his background in theoretical physics shaped his approach to biology and aging. He outlines why startups, not large institutions, are now leading innovation in longevity science. Drawing from physics, he describes aging as a series of “jumps” between states, each leaving the body more fragile.The discussion moves from the limits of current drugs to the promise of new approaches. Peter argues that reducing fluctuations and increasing molecular fidelity could unlock far greater gains in healthspan and lifespan. Listeners gain a fresh lens on what drives aging, where the real breakthroughs may come from, and why the next frontier in longevity will require rethinking the problem altogether.  Guest-at-a-Glance
