A recent 12-week randomised controlled trial involving healthy adults aged 55-70 yielded significant positive findings regarding pomegranate extract's effect on blood pressure. While the study might not have shown significant differences compared to placebo across all initially measured markers, it revealed important reductions within the group taking pomegranate extract daily. Specifically, participants supplementing with pomegranate extract saw a statistically significant average decrease in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) by 5.22 mmHg and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) by 3.6 mmHg. The researchers highlight the potential clinical relevance of the SBP reduction, noting that a 5 mmHg drop is associated with an estimated 10% decrease in the risk of major cardiovascular events. These findings align with previous research and meta-analyses confirming pomegranate's blood pressure-lowering effects, suggesting pomegranate extract could be a supportive strategy for hypertension prevention in older adults."This information is for educational purposes only and should not be interpreted as medical advice.""The study discussed was a randomised controlled trial in healthy adults aged 55-70.""The significant positive findings highlighted are the reductions in Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure observed within the group taking pomegranate extract.

Pomegranate [Case Report] is a Q&A style podcast developed by trainees, for trainees. In our debut episode, we hear about w a who man presented to the emergency department reporting sudden onset vision loss in his right eye lasting several hours. He was 68 year old with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Three differential diagnoses being considered were optic neuropathy, vitreoretinal disease, or corneal oedema following from potential uveitis. In this podcast consultant ophthalmologist, Dr Sumu Simon, walks through an approach to this presentation and an exploratory therapy.GuestsDr Sumu Simon FRANZCO (Queen Elizabeth Hospital; Royal Adelaide Hospital) Dr Brandon Stretton (Royal Adelaide Hospital) Dr Stephen Bacchi (Lyell McEwin Hospital)ProductionProduced by Mic Cavazzini DPhil.

Thorough history taking and clinical acumen are still key elements in establishing a diagnosis of GCA.2.      The patient's initial response and subsequent decline in vision illustrate the need for ongoing monitoring and readiness to adapt the treatment approach. It also shows the necessity of close monitoring of inflammatory markers and clinical symptoms.3.      Amaurosis fugax warrants urgent referral to an ophthalmologist.4.      High index of suspicion for GCA and prompt referral of GCA suspects will ensure best outcome for patients.5.      Progressive visual loss and elevated inflammatory markers should alert the clinician to glucocorticoid-resistant GCA.6.      The effectiveness of tocilizumab in this case highlights its role as a valuable treatment option for refractory GCA, especially when traditional therapies are not sufficiently effective. Targeted biologic agents may open up new treatment approaches in the future particularly in patients with progressive visual loss despite administration of intravenous methylprednisolone. 7.      Managing complex cases like GCA often requires a collaborative approach involving rheumatologists, ophthalmologists, and other specialists to ensure comprehensive care and optimal outcomes.8.      There is often value in case reports to start the evidence cascade that is required to bring new, life altering treatments to the forefront.

[If you enjoy this podcast, please give us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, so more people will find The Rational Wellness Podcast. Also check out the video version on my WeitzChiro YouTube page.]  Podcast Highlights 1:48  Dried urine testing or DUTCH testing uses a dried sample for convenience, which is a big advantage over the other leading type of urine hormone testing, which is the 24 hour urine test that requires carrying around a jug of urine that you keep in the refrigerator all day.  This is very inconvenient and you lose the the changes in those hormones levels, esp. cortisol, that vary throughout the day using a 24 hour sample.  The dried urine test you collect samples throughout the day so you can look at the cortisol pattern, which correlates with what is seen on saliva in studies that have been published.  And the urine testing of hormones allows you to see the metabolites of estrogens and androgens that you can't see on blood testing.  And there is a DUTCH complete test that includes markers in urine for melatonin and B12 and B6, etc. that allows us to see a fuller picture of the hormone story.  For example, this complete testing is helpful if you have a patient who has fatigue you can find out if it is related to testosterone or cortisol or B12. 4:57  On the other hand, dried urine testing does not allow you to measure SHBG, which can be measured through blood, such as when a woman is on birth control and this drives up her SHBG, which drives down her free hormones. Urine testing is also not a good way to measure thyroid hormones. Also, if your kidneys are not functioning well, then you are not excreting urine as well as you should and this can impact urine testing. Also, saliva has some advantages for the cortisol awakening response (CAR), so DUTCH plus includes saliva for the first two samples of cortisol, since for the CAR you need an instantaneous sample when you first wake up within the first five minutes.  DUTCH uses a cotton swab that soaks up saliva instead of having to spit into a tube like other labs use and fill it with 3 ml of saliva after waking up without rinsing your mouth and without drinking any water and for most people this takes 15-20 min, which negates the value of the CAR test.                                Mark Newman, MS is a recognized expert and international speaker in the field of hormone testing. Mark spent nearly 25 years developing and directing urine, blood, and saliva-based hormone testing along with other biomarkers like organic acids. His unique experience led him to pursue a revolutionary way to test hormones; so Mark began his own lab, Precision Analytical Inc., to create the latest innovation in hormone testing, the DUTCH Test® (a Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones). In pursuit of the most accurate, evidence-based testing and best practices, Mark has co-written multiple peer-reviewed research papers and abstracts, highlighting the accuracy and clinical utility of dried urine hormone testing. Mark's primary educational goal is to find and communicate truths about HRT monitoring to help providers care for their patients. He understands that each form of testing has its own strengths and weaknesses, which is why he encourages clinicians to follow the evidence even when lab testing isn't clinically helpful. For clinicians to learn more about the DUTCH test, go to DUTCHtest.com.  Patients can find a referral to a DUTCH Lab provider to order and interpret the testing for them.

Kim:                     Thanks for having me. Excited to get into this. Dr. Weitz:            Good. So what are some of the biggest challenges that clients have when they're trying to lose weight? Kim:                     The noise, I would say, in the rest of the world, outside of themselves. I think most people forget to listen to what's going on with their own body, and there's so much confusion with what everyone else is doing. Dr. Weitz:            But how do you know what your body's really saying? Kim:                     You got to be mindful, you got to be grounded. And most people are walking around emotionally triggered and they don't even recognize it. I mean our rational mind knows that food is fuel. Our irrational mind thinks food is comfort, joy, entertainment, the enemy, fun. And so, if you think food is anything other than fuel, it's time to check in with what's going on. Take some deep breaths and figure out where the discomfort is in your body or in your life that could be causing your mind to seek some pleasure from something that is outside of yourself. Dr. Weitz:            Now, you say that we should think of food as fuel, which is what I have always done, but a lot of people criticize me and say, "Well, you don't really enjoy your food, but yet one of your six principles is to eat what you love." Kim:                     Yeah. So, I understand what people are saying when they say that to you, and I think you do too, right?

Thanks for joining me, and let's jump into the podcast.                                 Hello Rational Wellness podcasters. Today, we will be speaking about leaky gut with Dr. Jess Armine. Leaky gut is a controversial concept in the functional medicine world. No, I'm not talking about the controversy in conventional medicine about whether leaky gut exists at all. Most of us understand that there's tons of research substantiating that leaky gut exists and that it's a problem, but there are differences about how to test for leaky gut. There's the old lactulose mannitol intestinal permeability test, but most of us today are either using a serum test for zonulin or a stool zonulin test, or a serum test for zonulin antibodies, and there's a lot of controversy whether any of these are accurate.  I personally run a stool zonulin as part of a stool test, but quite frankly, I assume that most of my patients with gut problems have leaky gut. There's also controversy about the best strategies for healing leaky gut and whether probiotics, and which ones, prebiotics, which ones, bone broth, et cetera, et cetera. How should we heal leaky gut? I'm hoping that Dr. Jess Armine can give us some clarification and guidance for how to understand leaky gut and how to treat it. Dr. Jess Armine is a doctor of chiropractic. He graduated in 1986, a year before me, and a registered nurse. He has specialized training in methylation, genetic research, neuro-endo immunology, functional medicine, nutrigenomics applied kinesiology and nutrition.

Commentary by Dr. Candice Silversides

Here Dr Tan talks about tocotrienols in bone health, what an appropriate dosage is and it is better not to take alpha tocopherol with the tocotrienols. Dr. Barrie Tan was formerly an assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst (Chemistry, Food Science & Nutrition). His mission at American River Nutrition is to deliver the highest quality nutritional products based on sound scientific research. Today, his research focuses on lipid-soluble nutrients that have the potential to slow chronic conditions. For the last 35 years, Barrie has immersed himself in the world of Vitamin E and is considered one of the world's foremost experts, credited with commercializing tocotrienol in 3 major natural sources – palm, rice and annatto. His first discoveries were in palm & rice, but due to their high levels of tocopherol, they also lacked potency. Barrie continued his research and was soon rewarded when he found the best-in-class tocotrienol in the annatto plant!

[If you enjoy this podcast, please give us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, so more people will find The Rational Wellness Podcast. Also check out the video version on my WeitzChiro YouTube page.]    Podcast Highlights 0:32  I'm going to make some comments, pose some questions, and discuss some recent podcasts that we've done on SIBO and IBS. We had a discussion with Drs. Rahbar and Gurevich on SIBO and IBS: Discussion on SIBO and IBS with Dr. Sam Rahbar and Dr. Ilana Gurevich: Rational Wellness Podcast 298.  We also had a presentation by Dr. Mark Pimentel on the latest research that his group has recently published on SIBO and IBS:  SIBO: New Research Findings with Dr. Mark Pimentel: Rational Wellness Podcast 311.   I also recommend that you listen to the interview that Shivan Sarna and Dr. Allison Siebecker conducted with Dr. Ali Rezaie of Dr. Pimentel's group:  Digestive Disease Week 2023 Research Update by Dr. Ali Rezaie (June 2023)    3:42  Irritable bowel syndrome or IBS is the most common gastrointestinal disorder occurring in up to 20% of the US population.  It is a functional digestive disorder marked by the following symptoms: gas and bloating, stomach pain, diarrhea, constipation, or alternating diarrhea and constipation.  IBS is considered a functional disorder because if you do a scope or do a CAT scan, you won't see any structural problems in the intestines.  By contrast, if you have Crohn's or ulcerative colitis and you do a scope or a scan, you'll likely see damage to the lining of the intestines, possibly bleeding, and erosions.  Because it's a functional disorder, IBS was often considered to be a stress-induced disorder.  Dr. Pimentel has now proven that approximately 60% of cases of IBS are caused by Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth or SIBO.  5:35  The large intestine, aka, the colon, is a large and very elastic tube and it contains the trillions of bacteria, archea, and fungi that compose our microbiome. When these bacteria in the colon ferment and produce gas, this is not a problem. But the small intestine is a smaller tube and doesn't stretch as much and doesn't contain anywhere as much bacteria as the large intestine.  The small intestine is where most nutrients are absorbed from our food, so there need to be a smaller amount of bacteria lining its mucosa or this would interfere with this.  If you consume fermentable fiber and there is an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine, this can lead to gas and bloating, which can cause pain and a change in bowel habits.  Hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen gas are usually associated with diarrhea, while methane gas is usually associated with constipation.    Dr. Ben Weitz is available for Functional Nutrition consultations specializing in Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders like IBS/SIBO and Reflux and also Cardiometabolic Risk Factors like elevated lipids, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure.  Dr. Weitz has also successfully helped many patients with managing their weight and improving their athletic performance, as well as sports chiropractic work by calling his Santa Monica office 310-395-3111. Dr. Weitz is also available for video or phone consultations.     Podcast Transcript Dr. Weitz:            Hey, this is Dr. Ben Weitz, host of the Rational Wellness Podcast.

Commentary by Dr. Candice Silversides

Jeffrey Smith discusses The Dangers of GMOs and Glyphosate with Dr. Ben Weitz. [If you enjoy this podcast, please give us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, so more people will find The Rational Wellness Podcast. Also check out the video version on my WeitzChiro YouTube page.]    Podcast Highlights 2:27  Jeffrey Smith has been dedicated to speaking out about the potential dangers of genetically modified organisms since he heard a lecture 27 years ago by a genetic engineer who was blowing the whistle on Monsanto that was about to release its first genetically modified crops into our food supply.  Jeffrey runs the ResponsibleTechnology.org website and if you go to ResponsibleTechnology.org/takeaction before May 21 you can take action and add your voice to the discussion in the U.S. Department of Agriculture about how to regulate genetically modified organisms so we can prevent an apocalypse. Now Jeffrey is also speaking up about the dangers of GMO 2.0, which is the subject of the documentary Don't Let the Gene Out of the Bottle, which is a 16-minute film, which happens to be at the website above. 6:26  GMO Foods.  Traditional GMO foods have a gene from another species transferred into that plant, but we now have have GMO 2.0, which utilizes the new gene editing tools to knock out genes or gut the genome in a place or two and hoping that when the thing gets reattached, it either adds what you want in or leaves out what you want and doesn't bring anything in extra that you don't want.  This involves a lot of wishful thinking and obviously a lot could go wrong.  Jeffrey has a six minute film at responsibletechnology.org/takeaction that discusses some of these dangers: Seven Reasons Why Gene Editing Is Dangerous and Unpredictable.  The biotech industry has been licking its wounds because the movement to limit and ban GMO foods has been successful at informing consumers, and doctors that it is not safe that we have been able to contain it to 12 genetically engineered food crops as opposed to Monsanto's stated goal by this time to have 100% of all commercial seeds genetically engineered and patented.  What's even scarier is that it used to take a long period of time and was expensive to genetically engineer foods, but now you can buy a gene editing kit from Amazon for a few thousand dollars and create your own GMO every day. 9:41  Monsanto convinced the White House that GMOs were safe and that GMOs were going to increase US exports and domination by the US in world food trade and they should be allowed on the market.  Monsanto were able to get a former attorney of theirs--Michael Taylor--into the FDA to create a pro GMO policy.       Jeffrey Smith is a global thought leader on the health dangers of genetically modified organisms for over 27 years. He has written 2 bestselling books, Seeds of Deception and Genetic Roulette, directed 5 documentaries, the most recent of which is Don't Let the Gene Out of the Bottle in 2023 and Secret Ingredients in 2018. Jeffrey has given thousands of lectures all around the world and has counseled world leaders on six continents.  He is the founder and CEO of the Institute of Responsible Technology and he is now sounding the alarm not only about about GMOs and glyphosate but about GMOs 2.0. Dr. Ben Weitz is available for Functional Nutrition consultations specializing in Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders like IBS/SIBO and Reflux and also specializing in Cardiometabolic Risk Factors like elevated lipids, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure and also weight loss and also athletic performance, as well as sports chiropractic work by calling his Santa Monica office 310-395-3111.

Dr. Dominic Brandy discusses Natural Insights into Cancer with Dr. Ben Weitz. [If you enjoy this podcast, please give us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, so more people will find The Rational Wellness Podcast. Also check out the video version on my WeitzChiro YouTube page.]    Podcast Highlights 2:25  Dr. Brandy explained that his journey started in September 2017 when he and his wife were on a Viking cruise and he read the book, How Not To Die by Dr. Michael Greger.  How Not To Die has lots of scientific references and shows that eating a plant based diet is associated with lower rates of cancer and other chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and dementia. Gregor also discusses the Blue Zones where Dan Buettner looked at regions in the world where people lived the longest, including Loma Linda, California, where most people are Seven Day Adventists and they are vegetarian, don't drink alcohol, and exercise a lot. The average woman there lives 10 years longer and the average man lives 14 years longer than the average American.  Dr. Brandy started right then to eat a plant based diet. 6:25  When Dr. Brandy came home the last week of September he was doing a surgery case and he felt a pop in his right collarbone.  This pain then got worse and worse and on November 10th he went to pick up a container of water and his clavicle cracked in half.  He went to the Urgent Care center and got an x-ray. Then he got an MRI and his orthopedic surgeon told him that he either had multiple myeloma or a cancer metastasis. He had a biopsy and lab work, which confirmed IgA multiple myeloma free Kappa chain. Dr. Brandy's oncologist recommended a triple drug regimen of a common medication for myeloma, a corticosteroid and Velcade, a proteasome inhibitor. Dr. Brandy accepted with the first two medications but rejected Velcade, because its common side effects include peripheral neuropathy, which is bad for a surgeon.  Then Dr. Brandy researched every thing he could do from a diet, lifestyle, and nutritional supplement perspective and started employing them.  He started taking various herbs, employed exercise, stress reduction, sleep, intermittent fasting, detoxification, and every month his numbers kept getting better and by six months he was in a complete remission.     Dr. Dominic Brandy is a plastic surgeon and anti-aging expert, but after being diagnosed in 2017 with multiple myeloma, an incurable blood cancer, he plunged himself into cancer research. He is now coaching cancer patients.  In addition to conventional therapy, he has adopted a natural approach to fighting cancer that includes a whole food plant based diet, daily exercise, and targeted nutritional supplements.   And now he has written a book, Beat Back Cancer Naturally, and he wants to share his approach with patients looking to prevent or treat cancer.   His website is NaturalInsightsIntoCancer. Dr. Ben Weitz is available for Functional Nutrition consultations specializing in Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders like IBS/SIBO and Reflux and also specializing in Cardiometabolic Risk Factors like elevated lipids, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure and also weight loss and also athletic performance, as well as sports chiropractic work by calling his Santa Monica office 310-395-3111.

Dr. Tania Dempsey discusses Mast Cell Activation Syndrome with Dr. Ben Weitz. [If you enjoy this podcast, please give us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, so more people will find The Rational Wellness Podcast. Also check out the video version on my WeitzChiro YouTube page.]    Podcast Highlights 0:30  Mast cell activation syndrome.  Mast cells are immune cells found throughout the body that contain granules that contain various chemical mediators, including histamine and heparin.  Mast cells are involved in allergies and in various inflammatory and immune functions, including wound healing, angiogenesis, immune tolerance, and defense against pathogens. In mast cell activation syndrome, mast cells are inappropriately and excessively release chemical mediators, resulting in a range of symptoms that are grouped into cardiovascular, dermatological, GI, neurological, and respiratory in nature.  These include flushing, hives, a reddish complexion, itchiness, burning, lightheadedness, dizziness, arrhythmia, diarrhea or constipation, stomach pain, nausea, acid reflux, difficulty swallowing, headaches, fatigue, lack of concentration, and other cognitive problems, congestion, coughing, and even anaphylaxis. 2:47  Dr. Dempsey first started to focus on mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) when researching trying to understand a patient who had a flare of this condition.  She spoke with Dr. Lawrence Afrin, who was a recognized expert on mast cell activation syndrome, who explained the mechanism for this condition.  She recognized that patients she had treated in the past probably had some elements of this condition as well. 12:05  MCAS is a multisystemic process and the most common symptoms include genital urinary complaints, hormonal complaints like endometriosis, painful periods, and excessive bleeding, migraines, interstitial cystitis, pain syndromes, high or low blood pressure, etc.. 13:36  Diagnosis of MCAS.  One test that Dr. Dempsey will do with patients is to take a tongue depressor and scrape it across the back of the patient.  If there is a skin reaction, that indicates that mast cells are releasing histamine and that the patient may have MCAS.  This is called dermatographism.  The lab testing for MCAS is tricky, since some of the mediators that can be measured are very short lived, so she has a refrigerated centrifuge in her lab to be able to specially process the samples.  There are a number of markers but there is no one marker that is definitive for making a diagnosis. Tryptase, histamine plasma or whole blood, chromagranin A, and C-reactive protein are markers that can be measured.  If the patient has had an endoscopy or colonoscopy, we can biopsy a sample of the intestinal mucosa and see if there are more than 20 mast cells in the field. You may see elevated eosinophils. 21:52  The QEESI is a validated questionaire that Dr. Dempsey recommends, that stands for The Quick Environmental Exposure and Sensitivity Inventory that is available here: QEESI.         Dr. Tania Dempsey is an internationally recognized expert in chronic disease, autoimmune disorders and mast cell activation syndrome.  Dr. Dempsey received her MD from Johns Hopkins and she is Board Certified in Internal Medicine and a Diplomate of the American Board of Integrative and Holistic Medicine.  Dr. Dempsey is the founder of the AIM Center for Personalized Medicine, in Purchase, New York, where she practices with Dr. Lawrence Afrin.  Her website is DrTaniaDempsey.com.

Have you heard the new guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics on childhood obesity? If you have, you are likely as astounded and outraged as we are to hear drug therapy and bariatric surgery recommended to children as a way to manage the growing problem of childhood obesity. Tune in to hear us break down the new guidelines and offer sustainable, cost-affordable solutions for families.    Obesity currently affects about 20% of children and 42% of adults, and we agree this is a problem that needs to be faced head on. However, recommending drugs and weight loss surgery to children without offering any guidance on diet and exercise is just not a sustainable solution. In fact, the AAP guidance could have devastating effects on children while, no surprise, driving big profits for pharma. Learn how carb awareness, low carb, and detox support can be appropriate for overweight and obese children, creating whole body wellness for a lifetime. Plus we discuss the role of nutrient deficiency, essential supplementation, exercise and more in combating this multifaceted issue.    Also in this episode:  American Academy of Pediatrics Childhood Obesity Recommendations Episode 323: Ozempic, Wonder Drug or too Good to be True?

This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and InsideTracker.As hunter-gatherers, we ate the equivalent of only 20 teaspoons of sugar a year. Today, we eat over 150 pounds per year per person, or half a pound per day. The average school kid eats 34 teaspoons of sugar a day.

La dieta del grupo sanguíneo surge de los trabajos del naturópata Peter D’Adamo, que propone sus ideas sobre la dieta y el grupo sanguíneo en su libro Eat Right 4 Your Type. Se basa en seleccionar aquellos alimentos que dicho libro indica que son adecuados para el grupo sanguíneo de cada individuo.- A los individuos del grupo O como “cazadores“, ya que su grupo se creó hace 40.000 años. Las personas de este grupo deben ingerir principalmente carne, pescado, verdura, semillas y fruta (menos kiwis, naranjas, melón y coco). Con moderación pueden tomar cereales. También pueden tomar legumbres, pero nunca en sustitución de la proteína de la carne roja, que es importantísima para este grupo.- A los del grupo A como los “agricultores“, porque el grupo A surgió hace 25.000 – 10.000 años. Es al único grupo sanguíneo al que se le recomienda ser vegetariano, aunque les conviene también comer pescado y marisco, así como legumbres y productos a base de soja.- A los del grupo B como los “nómadas“, ya que surgieron hace 15.000 – 10.000 años. Es el único grupo al que se le recomienda tomar lácteos a voluntad. También pueden tomar carne, pescado, legumbres, cereales, fruta y verdura.- A los del grupo AB como una mezcla entre A y B (ya que surgieron hace 1.000 años)La dieta del grupo sanguíneo se basa en que estos diferentes tipos se han ido creando en distintas épocas de la humanidad, por lo que conociendo en qué momento apareció cada uno y sabiendo lo que comían nuestros ancestros en ese momento tendremos el listado de alimentos aptos para una persona de ese grupo sanguíneo.Sin embargo, este planteamiento ha sufrido tres grandes críticas:- Los mecanismos que emplea D’Adamo para datar la aparición de cada tipo de sangre no están demostrados. De hecho, muchos expertos piensan que algunos grupos podrían haber aparecido en momentos muy diferentes o que podrían existir desde hace millones de años. (Genetic of the ABO blood system and its link with the immune system | Evolution of the O alleles of the human ABO blood group gene).- No existen evidencias que permitan confirmar que las especificidades del metabolismo de cada persona se correlacionen con su grupo sanguíneo.- Existe un estudio ABO Genotype, ‘Blood-Type’ Diet and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors que demuestra que la dieta según el grupo sanguíneo no tiene ningún efecto sobre el individuo.A pesar de que es una dieta milagro, falsa y sin base científica no es de las más descabelladas ya que dada la pésima alimentación de hoy en día, seguro que al seguirla se conseguirían mejoras para la salud de la persona, pero ni que ver tiene el grupo sanguíneo que sea.
