Podcasts about Chronic

This week on Comics and Chronic we're marking our milestone 300th episode with Zack Snyder's 300 based off the cult classic graphic novel by Frank Miller.  In 480 B.C. a state of war exists between Persia, led by King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro), and Greece. At the Battle of Thermopylae, Leonidas (Gerard Butler), king of the Greek city state of Sparta, leads his badly outnumbered warriors against the massive Persian army. Though certain death awaits the Spartans, their sacrifice inspires all of Greece to unite against their common enemy.We made it to episode 300 despite Cody's sabotage attempts at a comedy festival & Anthony's desire to change our name.  But first Jake learns how to correctly pronounce Bon Iver.  This movie is stacked with actors such as Gerard Butler, Lena Headey, Dominic West, Michael Fassbender, & others.  Is this movies ableist?  This is a dude's DUDE movie.  Men killing, sweaty CGI and, boobies, murder, blood, wolves, cripples everything a man needs to see to feel like a man.  Also gave rise to one of cinema's most famous lines:  “THIS IS SPARTA!”  This is easily o e of or if not Zack Snyder's best movie.  Some great fight scenes and cinematography even with the CGI.  It's also almost page for page the comic 300.  Could the Hot Boys have held the hot gates?  Where does 300 rank on Zack Snyder's movies with fans?  Anthony's childhood is similar to that of a boy's childhood in 300?  Did this movie destroy what the ideal male body should look like?  How does this movie age now that we're no longer hormonal teenage boys?  Tune in today for our milestone 300th episode!New episodes every THURSDAYFollow us on social media!

PelviCon Speaker Series: Fiona Rogers on Chronic Pelvic Pain, Modalities & 40+ Years in the FieldWe're kicking off our PelviCon Speaker Interview Series with none other than Fiona Rogers—a legend in the field of pelvic health!With more than 40 years of experience as a physiotherapist, Fiona has spoken all over the world and helped shape how we treat pelvic pain today. In this episode, we dive into:

Natural alternatives for Trump's chronic leg swelling problems; How certain blood and urine tests can help predict osteoporosis; Dark chocolate enhances cognitive function—with lasting effects; caffeinated black coffee reduces risk of death by 14%; NY Times misses the boat again on supplements for immunity; Man dies after being pulled into MRI machine.

Chronic pain affects 1 in 4 adults globally, and women are disproportionately affected. We're often told it's in our head, even by our doctors. But what if it's in our nervous system? In this powerful episode of the Uncover Your Eyes podcast, Dr. Meenal Agarwal explores the groundbreaking topic of Central Sensitization with guest Dr. Shabita Teja, a dual-trained Naturopathic Doctor and Pharmacist who shares her deeply personal and medical journey with chronic abdominal pain. Dr. Teja was one of the first patients in British Columbia to receive a spinal cord stimulator for Central Sensitization—a nervous system condition that continues to fly under the radar of traditional healthcare. Whether you're a healthcare professional, a patient living with chronic pain, or someone passionate about mental health, physical health, and healthcare innovations, this episode will expand your understanding of pain, the mind-body connection, and the power of self-advocacy in healing.

In Part 2 of this series, we shift from understanding how chronic stress disrupts your vagus nerve—and everything downstream like hormones, digestion, immunity, and brain function—to learning how to rebuild from the inside out. If you're feeling burnt out, bloated, foggy, or emotionally reactive, this episode is for you. Chronic stress isn't just in your head—it rewires your biology. But you can rewire it back. You'll learn: The science behind vagus nerve dysfunction in chronic stress Daily practices to rebuild vagal tone (breathwork, fascia release, cold/heat, mindset shifts) How to calm the nervous system before jumping into gut or hormone protocols The path to better sleep, mood, motility, and energy through nervous system repair Your health doesn't just depend on what you eat or how you move—it depends on your state. Let's help you shift out of fight-or-flight and into healing mode.

 Insights (TED) of a 93-year-old man who makes bodybuilding …When we had been hunters to find food, we had only a chance to survive when we tried our best physically and mentally … After we killed that animal, we had to eat as much as possible to sustain our body as long as possible; and to relax to be inactive to gain our power back…So what, overeating was a must …Inactivity was a must to relax…And these necessary habits are destroying us today.And today we overeat and be inactive even we didn't do any exercise…Successful aging is possible:Three factors are contributing to successful aging and guess that are using the Japanese with the highest longevity… (50000 Japanese are over 100 years old)1.) work hard2.) right diet3.) body exerciseThe aged person is suffering from inactivity, poor diet, overweight, diabetes …And this happened through retirement.Retirement is voluntary or involuntary unemployment for up to 30 years…Unemployment cause:1.)

Episode Summary: In recognition of World Brain Day (July 22), this Think Thursday episode is a deep dive into the powerful, daily practices that shape your brain's future. While most of us worry about cognitive decline, far fewer realize how much influence we actually have. Molly introduces SHARP—a simple, science-backed framework for protecting and enhancing your brain's longevity, clarity, and resilience. From reducing dementia risk to boosting neuroplasticity, this episode gives you the tools to keep your mind vibrant for years to come.What You'll Learn – The SHARP Framework:S – Sleep & Stress Regulation: Sleep is when your brain clears out toxins linked to Alzheimer's. Chronic stress, meanwhile, shrinks memory-related regions and floods your system with cortisol. Molly shares realistic strategies to optimize both sleep and stress management.H – Health Management: Hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol aren't just heart issues—they directly impair blood flow to your brain. Molly encourages listeners to know their health metrics and embrace preventive care, not just reactive treatment.A – Activity (Physical & Cognitive): Regular movement and mental challenge increase BDNF and hippocampal volume—both key for memory and learning. Learn how to find the right mix of cardio, strength, and cognitive novelty to protect your brain.R – Relationships & Recovery: Human connection is vital for long-term brain health. So is purposeful mental rest. Molly outlines ways to build deeper relationships while incorporating daily mental “micro-rests” to reset your attention and creativity.P – Plant-Forward Nutrition & Preventive Living: Diets like MIND and Mediterranean are clinically linked to younger brain age. Molly explains how building meals around plants, healthy fats, and fiber—while minimizing alcohol and ultra-processed foods—can provide neuroprotective benefits.Mini Challenge: Pick just one area of the SHARP framework to focus on this week. Your brain will thank you—and it will reward you with energy, clarity, and peace of mind.Resources & Mentions:Mel Robbins Podcast featuring Dr. Vonda WrightOfficial MIND Diet WebsiteStay Connected:Website: www.mollywatts.comJoin the Facebook Community: Alcohol Minimalists – Change Your Alcohol HabitsInstagram: @alcoholminimalist ★ Support this podcast ★

This week on Comics and Chronic we're following the blockbuster movie Superman (2025) with a titular story Superman For All Seasons by Jeph Loeb & art by the late great Tim Sale.  Lettering by Richard Starkings & coloring by Bjarne Hansen“Told through the course of four seasons in the Man of Steel's adolescent life, this collection illustrates that it is the person, not the powers, that makes Superman a hero."SUPERMAN FOR ALL SEASONS is emotional and insightful, humanizing the alien from another planet so that he is not only realistic but also relatable. It also features in-depth characterizations of Lana Lang, Lex Luthor, Lois Lane and the Kents.”But first Cody gives an assessment on his second go around on James Gunn's Superman.  This is some of Tim Sale's finest most gorgeous artwork.  Does Jake hate Kansas and rural America?  Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale capture the golden age of superheroes perfectly.  A lot of this team's comics have bitter sweet and open endings, they're never quite a “happy ending”.  Jake drops some his take on Hope.  Superman is a CHONKY Boy in this story.  There's very little action this story but only because the story is what drives it and allows the art to shine.  Lex Luthor utilizes Super COVID-19 to attack Metropolis. Are there vague whispers of another season of Sopranos September?  Cody reveals he's part Italian and therefore hates himself?  Tune in this week to learn more about Superman For All Seasons and stay tuned next week as we reach our milestone 300th episode!  And of course you already know, we'll be discussing 300!  New episodes every THURSDAYFollow us on social media!

1. Although benign, skin tags are common in people with diabetes or prediabetes. Reverse diabetes by decreasing carbohydrates and increasing high-quality protein. 2. Itchy private parts are often caused by fungal overgrowth. Take vitamin D to strengthen your immune system and stop the itching. 3. Nighttime restlessness is related to vitamin B1 deficiency, typically caused by a high-carb diet. 4. Tingling or numbness in the toes or bottoms of the feet is a nerve problem. Benfotiamine, taken four times daily, can help correct this problem. 5. Bleeding gums are related to vitamin C deficiency.6. Chronic cough can be caused by a calcium deficiency or acid coming up the esophagus. 7. Carpal tunnel syndrome is often related to a vitamin B6 deficiency.8. Brittle nails are usually caused by a biotin deficiency. 9. Cold feet and hands signify that you need more iodine.10. Early morning problems such as leg cramps, migraines, and chest pain are related to magnesium deficiency. Take magnesium glycinate before bed as a remedy.11. Ulcers and gastritis result from zinc deficiency. Zinc carnosine is the best form of zinc for this problem.12. Nose bleeds are sometimes caused by high blood pressure, but can also be caused by a vitamin K1 or vitamin C deficiency.13. Chest pain or pain down the left arm or shoulder is related to a vitamin E deficiency. Tocotrienols are the best remedy for these symptoms.14. Raised bumps on the back of the arms are a classic vitamin A deficiency. Retinol, the active form of vitamin A, is only found in animal products such as liver, egg yolk, cheese, and cod liver oil.15.

Explore the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching Certification: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/ Chronic pain isn't just about injury, it's a whole-body experience shaped by your brain, nervous system, and unresolved trauma. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace are joined by Matt Bush, educator and founder of Next Level Neuro, to unpack the neuroscience of pain. Together, they explore how chronic pain is often a protective output from a dysregulated nervous system, not a sign of damage, but of danger. Through stories, science, and powerful reframes, you'll learn why pain persists even when tissue damage has healed, and how complex trauma and emotional suppression play a major role. The conversation covers neurotags, interoception, perfectionism, dissociation, and the tools needed to rewire the brain's pain pathways — offering hope for those living in pain and practitioners looking for deeper healing frameworks. This is a must-watch for anyone who experiences chronic pain, works with trauma, or wants to understand the body's hidden survival strategies. Topics discussed in this episode: Why chronic pain is an output, not just a symptom The neuroscience of pain: neurotags, predictions, and protection How trauma wires the brain for pain Why people with high ACE scores are more likely to develop chronic pain The link between dissociation, perfectionism, and pain Emotional repression as a driver of chronic pain What interoception tells us about the pain loop Central sensitization and why the brain gets “louder” over time The connection between complex PTSD and somatic symptoms Why emotional expression is key to nervous system healing How somatic work, movement, and neuro tools can rewire pain pathways Why chronic pain relief is possible — but multifactorial

Let's get real for a moment. Not “do you feel overwhelmed?” but how overwhelmed are you… right now? If your answer is “way more than I used to be,” you're not alone. In fact, that's the norm for so many women I speak to—feeling maxed out, overstimulated, and constantly on edge. And here's the wild thing: most of us don't even realize how deep into burnout we've gotten until our bodies shut down.  Think about it: every day you juggle thousands of decisions, from “What's for dinner?” to managing family schedules, careers, social commitments, and digital overload. Our brains weren't designed for this 24/7 flood of input. Yet, here we are—expected to handle it all with a smile.  Compare that to 60 years ago: a black-and-white TV, a single daily paper, and meal plans based on “meat of the day.” Simpler? Yes. Less overwhelming? Definitely. Fast forward to today: social media, constant notifications, and a culture of doing more with less time have pushed us past our biological limits. And the effects are showing up in our nervous systems, hormones, and health. What Overwhelm Actually Does to Your Body That lingering fog, the irritability, the weight that won't budge? It's not in your head. It's in your hormones. Chronic stress triggers a cortisol rollercoaster that can derail your entire endocrine system. Over time, this shows up as: Fatigue and brain fog Irregular cycles and hormonal imbalances Poor sleep Skin and gut issues Immune dysfunction Weight gain and insulin resistance Mood swings or anxiety Here's the truth: you can't fix chronic overwhelm by pushing harder, working out more, or “trying to be positive.” You need the right tools for the job—and that starts with data. That's why I love the DUTCH Hormone Test. It gives a detailed view of what's actually happening in your system, so we can target your healing accurately. No more guessing. No more trying every supplement under the sun. In the Female Hormone Solution Program, we walk you step-by-step through this process: Test your hormones (Dutch Test) Interpret your body's stress and hormone story Build a personalized, science-backed plan to heal with meal guides and coaching Get ongoing support from me and my expert team Most women wait until they're absolutely fried before they reach out. I get it. We're taught to just keep swimming. But if you haven't had six months of calm, uneventful life in the last few years? It's no wonder you feel stuck. Your body is not broken. It just needs time, support, and the right conditions to heal. That's what we do.

Visceral fat, insulin resistance, and metabolic dysfunction are driving the chronic disease epidemic—and yet, they're still misunderstood. In this compelling conversation, former FDA commissioner Dr. David Kessler, MD, explains why he believes visceral adiposity is the greatest public health failure of our lifetime.Dr. Kessler brings decades of experience (as a pediatrician, legal expert, policy leader, and author of “The End of Overeating” and “Diet, Drugs, and Dopamine”) to explore how ultra-formulated foods impact our biology, why GLP-1 drugs are only a short-term tool, and how we've misunderstood addiction when it comes to food. He also opens up about his own struggles with weight gain and metabolic health, despite having all the professional knowledge and discipline in the world.This interview covers:The link between processed food, dopamine, and metabolic diseaseWhy insulin—not just glucose—should be front and centerThe role of ketogenic and lower-carb diets for people with visceral fat or food addictionWhat went wrong with the dietary guidelinesAnd what it will take to reverse course and reclaim our healthIf you're a clinician, researcher, or someone navigating your own metabolic journey, this conversation is compelling viewing.

Chronic stress can lead to a range of health issues, from anxiety and depression to heart disease and weakened immunity. By mastering stress, we can enhance our quality of life, improve our physical and mental health, and foster a more positive outlook. Here are some effective strategies and tips to help you manage stress and lead a healthier life.   1. Identify Your Stressors The first step in managing stress is to identify what triggers it. Keep a stress journal to track situations, events, or people that cause you stress. Note your reactions and any patterns that emerge. Understanding your stressors helps you develop strategies to avoid or mitigate them.   2. Practice Mindfulness and Meditation Mindfulness and meditation are powerful tools for reducing stress. These practices help you stay present, focus on your breath, and cultivate a sense of calm. Even just a few minutes of daily meditation can significantly lower stress levels and improve emotional regulation.   3. Exercise Regularly Physical activity is one of the most effective ways to combat stress. Exercise releases endorphins, which are natural mood lifters. Whether it's a brisk walk, a yoga session, or a workout at the gym, regular exercise can help reduce stress, improve sleep, and boost overall health.   4. Maintain a Healthy Diet What you eat can affect your stress levels. A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains provides the nutrients your body needs to function optimally. Avoid excessive caffeine and sugar, which can exacerbate stress and anxiety.   5. Get Enough Sleep Adequate sleep is crucial for stress management. Lack of sleep can increase stress levels and make it harder to cope with everyday challenges. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night. Establish a bedtime routine, create a comfortable sleep environment, and avoid screens before bed to improve sleep quality.   6. Learn to Say No Overcommitting yourself can lead to increased stress. Recognize your limits and learn to say no when necessary. Prioritize your tasks and delegate when possible. Setting boundaries helps you manage your time and energy more effectively.   7. Connect with Others Social support is vital for stress management. Spend time with family and friends, join a support group, or engage in community activities. Talking about your stressors with someone you trust can provide relief and new perspectives.   8. Practice Relaxation Techniques Incorporate relaxation techniques into your daily routine to manage stress. Deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, and visualization can help you relax and reduce stress. Find what works best for you and make it a regular practice.   9. Manage Your Time Effectively Time management is key to reducing stress. Plan your day, set realistic goals, and prioritize tasks. Break larger tasks into smaller, manageable steps and avoid procrastination. Effective time management helps you feel more in control and reduces stress.   10. Seek Professional Help If stress becomes overwhelming, don't hesitate to seek professional help. A therapist or counselor can provide support and teach coping strategies. Sometimes, just talking to a professional can provide relief and help you develop a plan to manage stress.   Mastering stress is essential for leading a healthier, happier life. By identifying your stressors, practicing mindfulness, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, learning to say no, connecting with others, practicing relaxation techniques, managing your time effectively, and seeking professional help when needed, you can reduce stress and improve your overall well-being. Remember, managing stress is a continuous process, and finding what works best for you is key to achieving lasting peace and balance.

What if everything we've been told about viruses… is wrong? In this episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor sits down with Jacob Diaz, aka UnderCoverVirologist—a naturopathic practitioner and outspoken advocate of terrain theory. But this isn't your typical echo chamber. Kaylor puts Jacob in the hot seat, pushing back hard on the wild claims that viruses don't exist, COVID was never real, and STIs aren't contagious. From chlamydia to spike proteins, Kaylor challenges the theories with his own lived experiences—asking the tough questions our audience is already thinking. Jacob doesn't back down, delivering a deep dive into the origins of germ theory, the manipulation of testing, and why he believes modern medicine has it all wrong. Whether you're skeptical or curious, this fiery and thought-provoking episode will shake up everything you think you know about health.     Episode Highlights: terrain theory, germ theory, virus myth, COVID-19, spike protein, STIs, chlamydia, immune system, emotional health, natural healing, body detox, medical freedom       Takeaways: Germ theory is the foundation of allopathic medicine, but terrain theory challenges its core beliefs No virus has ever been isolated directly from a human Bacteria and fungi live in us all the time—they don't cause disease on their own COVID symptoms were real, but likely due to environmental and toxic factors, not contagion STIs may be terrain responses, not infectious transmissions Chronic stress and fear can make your terrain more susceptible to disease Clean food, emotional regulation, and low-tox living are keys to health     If this episode lit a fire under you, don't keep it to yourself.

Episode 198: Fatigue.  Future doctors Redden and Ibrahim discuss with Dr. Arreaza the different causes of fatigue, including physical and mental illnesses. Dr. Arreaza describes the steps to evaluate fatigue. Some common misconceptions are explained, such as vitamin D deficiency and “chronic Lyme disease”. Written by Michael Ibrahim, MSIV, and Jordan Redden, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Edits and comments by Hector Arreaza, MDYou are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Dr. Arreaza: Today is a great day to talk about fatigue. It is one of the most common and most complex complaints we see in primary care. It involves physical, mental, and emotional health. So today, we're walking through a case, breaking down causes, red flags, and how to work it up without ordering the entire lab catalog.Michael:Case: This is a 34-year-old female who comes in saying, "I've been feeling drained for the past 3 months." She says she's been sleeping 8 hours a night but still wakes up tired. No recent illnesses, no weight loss, fever, or night sweats. She denies depression or anxiety but does report a lot of work stress and taking care of her two little ones at home. She drinks 2 cups of coffee a day, doesn't drink alcohol, and doesn't use drugs. No medications, just a multivitamin. Regular menstrual cycles—but she's noticed they've been heavier recently.Jordan:Fatigue is a persistent sense of exhaustion that isn't relieved by rest. It's different from sleepiness or muscle weakness.Classification based on timeline:    •   Acute fatigue: less than 1 month    •   Subacute: 1 to 6 months    •   Chronic: more than 6 monthsThis patient's case is subacute—going on 3 months now.Dr. Arreaza:And we can think about fatigue in types:    •   Physical fatigue: like muscle tiredness after activity    •   Mental fatigue: trouble concentrating or thinking clearly (physical + mental when you are a medical student or resident)    •    Pathological fatigue: which isn't proportional to effort and doesn't get better with restAnd of course, there's chronic fatigue syndrome, also called myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), which is a diagnosis of exclusion after 6 months of disabling fatigue with other symptoms.Michael:The differential is massive. So, we can also group it by systems.Jordan:Let's run through the big ones.Endocrine / Metabolic Causes    • Hypothyroidism: A classic cause of fatigue. Often associated with cold intolerance, weight gain, dry skin, and constipation. May be subtle and underdiagnosed, especially in women.    • Diabetes Mellitus: Both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia can cause fatigue. Look for polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, or blurry vision in undiagnosed diabetes.    • Adrenal Insufficiency: Think of this when fatigue is paired with hypotension, weight loss, salt craving, or hyperpigmentation. Can be primary (Addison's) or secondary (e.g., due to long-term steroid use).Michael: Hematologic Causes    • Anemia (especially iron deficiency): Very common, especially in menstruating women. Look for fatigue with pallor, shortness of breath on exertion, and sometimes pica (craving non-food items).     • Vitamin B12 or Folate Deficiency: B12 deficiency may present with fatigue plus neurologic symptoms like numbness, tingling, or gait issues. Folate deficiency tends to present with megaloblastic anemia and fatigue.    • Anemia of Chronic Disease: Seen in patients with chronic inflammatory conditions like RA, infections, or CKD. Typically mild, normocytic, and improves when the underlying disease is treated.Michael: Psychiatric Causes    • Depression: A major driver of fatigue, often underreported. May include anhedonia, sleep disturbance, appetite changes, or guilt. Sometimes presents with only somatic complaints.    • Anxiety Disorders: Mental fatigue, poor sleep quality, and hypervigilance can leave patients feeling constantly drained.    • Burnout Syndrome: Especially common in caregivers, healthcare workers, and educators. Emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment are key features.Jordan: Infectious Causes    • Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV):Mononucleosis is a well-known cause of fatigue, sometimes lasting weeks. May also have sore throat, lymphadenopathy, and splenomegaly.    • HIV:Consider it in high-risk individuals. Fatigue can be an early sign, along with weight loss, recurrent infections, or night sweats.    • Hepatitis (B or C):Can present with chronic fatigue, especially if liver enzymes are elevated. Screen at-risk individuals.    • Post-viral Syndromes / Long COVID:Fatigue that lingers for weeks or months after viral infection. Often, it includes brain fog, muscle aches, and post-exertional malaise.Important: Chronic Lyme disease is a controversial term without a consistent clinical definition and is often used to describe patients with persistent, nonspecific symptoms not supported by objective evidence of Lyme infection. Leading medical organizations reject the term and instead recognize "post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome" (PTLDS) for persistent symptoms following confirmed, treated Lyme disease, emphasizing that prolonged antibiotic therapy is not effective. Research shows no benefit—and potential harm—from extended antibiotic use, and patients with unexplained chronic symptoms should be thoroughly evaluated for other possible diagnoses.Michael: Cardiopulmonary Causes    •   Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): Fatigue from poor perfusion and low cardiac output. Often comes with dyspnea on exertion, edema, and orthopnea.    •   Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Look for a smoking history, chronic cough, and fatigue from hypoxia or the work of breathing.    •   Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Daytime fatigue despite adequate hours of sleep. Patients may snore, gasp, or report morning headaches. High suspicion in obese or hypertensive patients.Jordan:Autoimmune / Inflammatory Causes    •   Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE): Fatigue is often an early symptom. May also see rash, arthritis, photosensitivity, or renal involvement.    •   Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): Fatigue from systemic inflammation. Morning stiffness, joint pain, and elevated inflammatory markers point to RA.    •   Fibromyalgia: A chronic pain syndrome with widespread tenderness, fatigue, nonrestorative sleep, and sometimes cognitive complaints ("fibro fog").Cancer / Malignancy    •   Leukemia, lymphoma, or solid tumors: Fatigue can be the first symptom, often accompanied by weight loss, night sweats, or unexplained fevers. Consider when no other cause is evident.Michael:Medications:Common culprits include:    ◦   Beta-blockers: Can slow heart rate too much.    ◦   Antihistamines: Sedating H1 blockers like diphenhydramine.    ◦   Sedatives or sleep aids: Can cause grogginess and daytime sedation.    •   Substance Withdrawal: Fatigue can be seen in withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, or stimulants. Caffeine withdrawal, though mild, can also contribute.Dr. Arreaza:Whenever we evaluate fatigue, we need to keep an eye out for red flags. These should raise suspicion for something more serious:    •   Unintentional weight loss    •   Night sweats    •   Persistent fever    •   Neurologic symptoms    •   Lymphadenopathy    •   Jaundice    •   Palpitations or chest painThis patient doesn't have these—but that doesn't mean we stop here.Dr. Arreaza:Those are a lot of causes, we can evaluate fatigue following 7 steps:Characterize the fatigue.Look for organic illness.Evaluate medications and substances.Perform psychiatric screening.Ask questions about quantity and quality of sleep.Physical examination.Undertake investigations.So, students, do we send the whole lab panel?Michael:Not necessarily. Labs should be guided by history and physical. But here's a good initial panel:    •   CBC: To check for anemia or infection    • TSH: Screen for hypothyroidism    • CMP: Look at electrolytes, kidney, and liver function    • Ferritin and iron studies    • B12, folate    • ESR/CRP for inflammation (not specific)    • HbA1c if diabetes is on the radarJordan:And if needed, consider:    • HIV, EBV, hepatitis panel    • ANA, RF    • Cortisol or ACTH stimulation testImaging? Now that's rare—unless there are specific signs. Like chest X-ray for possible cancer or TB, or sleep study if you suspect OSA.Dr. Arreaza:Unaddressed fatigue isn't just inconvenient. It can impact on quality of life, affect job performance, lead to mood disorders, delay diagnosis of serious illness, increase risk of accidents—especially driving. So, don't ignore your patients with fatigue!Jordan:And some people—like women, caregivers, or shift workers—are especially at risk.Michael:The cornerstone of treatment is addressing the underlying cause.Jordan:If it's iron-deficiency anemia—treat it. If it's depression—get mental health involved. But there's also: Lifestyle Support: Better sleep hygiene, light physical activity, mindfulness or CBT for stress, balanced nutrition—especially iron and protein, limit caffeine and alcoholDr. Arreaza:Sometimes medications help—but rarely. And for chronic fatigue syndrome, the current best strategies are graded exercise therapy and CBT, along with managing specific symptoms. Beta-alanine has potential to modestly improve muscular endurance and reduce fatigue in older adults, but more high-quality research is needed.SSRI: fluoxetine and sertraline. Iron supplements: Even without anemia, but low ferritin [Anecdote about low ferritin patient]Jordan:This case reminds us to take fatigue seriously. In her case, it may be multifactorial—work stress, caregiving burden, and possibly iron-deficiency anemia. So, how would we wrap up this conversation, Michael?Michael:We don't need to order everything under the sun. A focused history and exam, targeted labs, and being alert to red flags can guide us.Jordan:And don't forget the basics—sleep, stress, and nutrition. These are just as powerful as any prescription.Dr. Arreaza:We hope today's episode on fatigue has given you a clear framework and some practical tips. If you enjoyed this episode, share it and subscribe for more evidence-based medicine!Jordan:Take care—and get some rest~___________________________Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

In today's episode, we explore the groundbreaking intersection of addiction, biology, and cancer with internationally recognized scientist Dr. Rafael Cuomo. Drawing on insights from his book Crave, Dr. Cuomo reveals how addiction is not simply a behavioral or psychological issue—it's a biological condition that reshapes the terrain of our health and directly contributes to the development of chronic disease, including cancer. Dr. Cuomo introduces the concept of “molecular scars”—long-term physiological changes left behind by repeated addictive behaviors, even low-grade ones like screen use or ultra-processed food consumption. He explains how these behaviors disrupt key systems in the body, including the dopamine, opioid, GABA, glutamate, cortisol, and the endocannabinoid systems, ultimately weakening immune surveillance, fueling inflammation, and accelerating cellular damage. From the anticipatory nature of craving to the role of trauma and adverse childhood experiences, this episode invites clinicians, patients, and everyday listeners to reconsider addiction not as a character flaw, but as a biologically driven imbalance with profound public health implications.

Welcome back to Think Thursday, where we explore the intersection of neuroscience, behavior change, and mindset, all in service of your beautifully brilliant human brain. In today's episode, we're diving into brand-new research from UCLA that uncovers how chronic stress physically alters the brain—and why that matters deeply for your habits, memory, and sense of self.You'll learn:Why your brain doesn't record life as one continuous stream, but as segmented “chapters”The critical role of a tiny brainstem region called the locus coeruleus in organizing your memoriesHow chronic stress dulls your brain's ability to mark important transitions—leading to foggy recall, disorientation, and burnoutWhy this memory blurring reinforces old, unhelpful habits (and what to do instead)Actionable strategies to reset your brain and support better event segmentation, focus, and resilienceThis isn't just neuroscience—it's deeply relevant to anyone trying to make meaningful change, especially around alcohol. If stress is hijacking your ability to grow and evolve, this episode will help you see why—and what's in your power to shift.Resources Mentioned:Recent UCLA study on stress and the locus coeruleus (via Neuroscience News)Monday's main podcast episode on chronic stress and emotional burnoutThink Thursday: How Stress Changes the BrainThink Thursday: Where Burnout LivesAction Steps You Can Take Today:Support event segmentation: Create natural breaks in your day—change environments, move your body, shift tasks.Reduce background stress: Focus on consistent, gentle actions that help your nervous system downregulate.Practice attention shifts: Mindfully mark transitions between tasks and environments.Embrace restorative structure: Build routines that signal safety and meaning to your brain.A Final Thought: You're not broken.

Boost your CO2 tolerance and improve your breathing by practicing nose breathing techniques. In this episode of The Movement Movement, Steven Sashen talks with Dr. John Douillard, DC, CAP, founder of LifeSpa and a respected figure in Ayurvedic medicine, who discusses how he's been combining ancient wisdom with modern science for over forty years. His groundbreaking work, particularly in his book Body, Mind, and Sport, examines the benefits of nose breathing versus mouth breathing during physical activity. Dr. Douillard's research indicates that nose breathing enhances nitric oxide production, a crucial factor in efficient oxygen intake and stress relief. It also significantly improves overall health and performance, as demonstrated in his work with elite athletes and firefighters. A strong advocate of the health benefits of nasal breathing, Dr. Douillard encourages making it a daily habit to enhance respiratory health, immune function, and overall well-being. Key Takeaways: → Nose breathing improves oxygen intake and carbon dioxide removal, enhancing respiratory fitness. → Engaging the diaphragm and rib cage through nose breathing leads to better respiratory health. → Breathing through your nose during exercise lowers your breathing rate and enhances performance. → Proper nose breathing techniques can enhance athletic performance and recovery by activating the lower lung lobes. → Chronic mouth breathing in children can negatively impact facial and airway development. Dr. John Douillard, DC, CAP, is a globally recognized leader in the fields of Ayurveda, natural health, nutrition, and sports medicine. With 40 years of experience, he has helped over 100,000 patients. Dr. John is a renowned Ayurvedic educator, host of the Ayurveda Meets Modern Science podcast, and bestselling author of seven health books, including Eat Wheat and 3-Season Diet. He is the creator of LifeSpa.com, where he proves ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern science in articles published weekly.

Hey Heal Squad! Today, Maria sits down with physician and researcher Dr. William Makis to explore the deeper patterns emerging in our health! They discuss topics like why so many people are experiencing unexplained fatigue, chronic inflammation, and even earlier cancer diagnoses (what?!). Dr. Makis shares why our immune systems are more overwhelmed than ever, and how environmental stressors are taxing the body's natural ability to heal. He breaks down what's changed in the past few years, what warning signs to look for, and how to support your body so it stays resilient and strong. You'll learn how to recognize the early red flags of immune dysfunction, what lifestyle choices could be feeding inflammation, and what it really takes to create an internal environment where your body can protect and restore itself. This is your sign to take care of your wellness from the inside out! Tune in!!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Chronic inflammation is a warning sign. Many cancers and autoimmune conditions begin with low-level inflammation that goes unchecked, tuning into early symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or skin changes can help you take action before bigger issues arise. Your immune system is your greatest defense. When supported properly (through sleep, light, nutrition, and detox), your immune system can identify and destroy abnormal cells before they become disease. The “new normal” isn't normal. More people are experiencing mystery symptoms, early cancer, and immune dysfunction, Dr. Makis will help you understand why it's happening and how to reverse course. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi   code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wmakismd/?hl=en  Website: https://www.twc.health/  For anyone wanting more information on how Ivermectin, fenbendazole, and mebendazole works, or need dosing protocols, connect with Dr. Makis makisw79@yahoo.com Or visit his Substack makismd.substack.com ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

Chronic pain affects millions of people who've been told their symptoms are just from stress. They've tried relaxation techniques, stress management, and lifestyle changes, but nothing really seems to work. They're left feeling stuck, exhausted, and frustrated that their body just won't heal. But why does the body stay in pain even when the injury has healed? In this episode, Dr. Aimie look at what most people believe about chronic pain. Instead of blaming stress, she shows how chronic pain actually comes from trauma stored in the body, and explores what's really going on and why this matters so much for healing. Drawing from her own experience with chronic shoulder pain after a collarbone fracture, Dr. Aimie explains how her body was storing trauma, not just stress. Even after surgery and treatments, the pain wouldn't go away until she discovered what was really happening in her body. You'll discover the difference between stress and trauma responses, why your body might be stuck in a chronic trauma response, and the hidden biochemical imbalances that make some people more likely to develop chronic pain. You'll learn: [1:45] Why stress does NOT cause chronic pain (and what actually does!) [5:20] The critical line of overwhelm that turns stress into trauma [11:34] What happens in the nervous system when you feel trapped and powerless [16:33] Why unresolved trauma keeps your body stuck in a danger response [21:15] The role of biochemical imbalances and why they increase pain sensitivity [26:06] How oxidative stress and mitochondria contribute to functional freeze [30:12] The hidden link between copper excess, anxiety, and chronic pain [34:52] Practical steps to repair your biology and help your body feel safe again Whether you're someone struggling with chronic pain or a practitioner seeking better tools to help clients, this episode reveals why understanding trauma biology, not just stress management, is the key to breaking free from chronic pain and reclaiming your life.   Helpful Links Related To This Episode: Biology of Trauma book - how the body experiences and holds fear, pain and overwhelm, and how to heal.
