Podcasts about Chronic

Chronic stress keeps cortisol elevated, which disrupts sleep, slows physical recovery, blunts training progress, and prevents your body from fully resetting day to day Clinical research shows ashwagandha consistently lowers cortisol, helping shift your body out of constant defense mode and back into repair and recovery Benefits extend beyond stress relief, including improvements in sleep quality, energy stability, hormonal balance, endurance capacity, and post-exercise recovery Ashwagandha works best when paired with stress-lowering habits like consistent sleep timing, appropriate exercise volume, and steady blood sugar from adequate carbohydrate intake Consistent daily use over eight weeks or longer aligns with the strongest improvements, allowing stress signaling to calm so performance and resilience rebuild naturally

Why does T3 feel life-changing for some people — and destabilizing for others? In this episode of Thyroid Answers, Dr. Eric Balcavage explains why the answer isn't about the medication itself, but about the physiologic state of the person receiving it. You'll learn why T3 can support recovery in some cases and create symptom volatility in others, and why labeling T3 as "good" or "bad" misses the real issue entirely. This episode introduces a clear, state-based framework: Resiliency — regeneration and adaptive capacity Chronic strain — long-term repair and compensation Overload — defensive, survival-focused physiology Dr. Balcavage explains how T3 interacts differently in each state, why adding T3 can suppress TSH and reduce T4 reserves, and why labs can look better even as physiology becomes less stable. Topics Covered T3 medication benefits and risks Physiologic state and thyroid response Why T3 works for some but not others TSH suppression and T4 reserve depletion Adaptive vs forced thyroid output Why thyroid research produces mixed results This episode is essential for anyone taking T3, considering T3, or trying to understand why thyroid medication responses vary so dramatically.

In this episode of the PurrPodcast, Dr. Susan Little and Dr. Jolle Kirpensteijn welcome Dr. Katie Tolbert from Texas A&M University for a practical and science-driven discussion on chronic pancreatitis in cats, with a strong focus on the critical role nutrition plays in long-term management. Together, they explore why chronic pancreatitis is often subtle and multifactorial, how dietary composition influences inflammation and gastrointestinal stability, and—perhaps most importantly—how treats, supplements, and small “extras” can quietly unbalance a carefully formulated therapeutic diet. Even a few treats can dilute nutrient density, disrupt macronutrient balance, and compromise clinical progress, making owner education and dietary consistency essential parts of successful case management. This episode is packed with clinical pearls for veterinarians who want to optimize nutritional strategies, improve compliance, and better understand how precision feeding can significantly impact outcomes in feline chronic pancreatitis.Thanks for tuning in to the Purr Podcast with Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle!If you enjoyed today's episode, don't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave us a review—it really helps other cat lovers and vet nerds find the show.

A lot of women are stuck in a cycle of eating less, pushing harder, and starting over every Monday, only to feel more frustrated each time. The surprising part is that this isn't a lack of discipline, but a predictable outcome of years of under-eating and following advice that was never built for women's physiology.We dive deeper into this in the Broads podcast with Finley. We talk about why intermittent fasting often backfires for women, how sugar cravings are usually a fueling issue, what chronic under-eating does to your metabolism, and what sustainable nutrition actually looks like without diet culture noise.Finley Amato Funsten is a nutrition and strength coach, the founder of Unfuck Your Diet, and the owner of MADabolic Charlotte. Her work focuses on evidence-based nutrition, behavior change, and sustainable training practices.What's Discussed:(05:53) Diet Coke, aspartame safety, and why fear-based nutrition science still sticks(07:12) Why intermittent fasting often backfires for active women hormonally(09:04) How hunger hormones adapt when breakfast is skipped for years(11:04) Why named diets fail women by ignoring physiology and skill building(14:32) Skinny culture's return and how wellness marketing keeps women shrinking(19:20) Sugar cravings explained through protein and fiber deficiencies(24:39) Why detoxes and cleanses don't work the way people think(32:03) Chronic under eating signs including low energy, poor recovery, and cycle disruptionCheck out more from Broads:Website: www.broads.appInstagram: @broads.podcast @broads.appCheck out more from Tara LaFerrara:Website: http://taralaferrara.com  Instagram: @taralaferraraYoutube: https://youtube.com/@TaraLaferraraCheck out more from Finley Amato Funsten:Website: https://unfuckyourdiet.coInstagram: @unfuckyourdiet Check out some of Finley's favorite accounts for nutrition, fitness, and real talk:Tara LaFerrara: https://instagram.com/taralaferraraSheridan Skye, MSc: http://instagram.com/sheridanskyefitBeth Wilkas Feraco: http://instagram.com/bethferacofitnessAmanda Howell, MPH: http://instagram.com/amandahowellhealthJessica Knurick, PhD: http://instagram.com/drjessicaknurickDr. Stacy T.

Chronic pain is often treated as a problem to suppress with medication or surgery, but what if it's actually a signal from a complex system that needs to be addressed holistically?In this episode of The Mind–Gut Conversation, Dr. Mayer is joined by Jared E. Katz, author of Retrain the Brain: Self-Help for Traumatic Brain Injury and creator of the pain management app Painless. Jared's story begins more than twenty years ago, when a traumatic brain injury left him with cognitive impairment and two rare, painful conditions: Chiari malformation and syringomyelia.Rather than accepting a life defined by pain, Jared spent years quietly experimenting with how he eats,sleeps, moves, and thinks. He developed what he calls a “brain health algorithm” — a set of daily practices spanning nutrition, cognitive activity, movement, sleep, and social engagement. The result is not just a book, but a blueprint for anyone living with chronic pain or seeking to understand whatbrain health truly looks like in practice.This episode is slightly different from our usual focus on the gut microbiome, but the principles align closely with the holistic, systems-based thinking Dr. Mayer teaches. Jared's experience demonstrates that the brain is not a machine with one broken part — it's a dynamic, interconnected system capable of adaptation and healing when given the right conditions.Topics discussed include:• What a “brain health lifestyle” actually involves• How anti-inflammatory nutrition and eating patterns affectpain and cognition• Why chronic pain requires addressing multiple systems, notjust one symptom• How cognitive exercises like writing can help rewire thebrain• The future of personalized pain managementThis is a practical, deeply human conversation for anyoneinterested in chronic pain, brain health, and the power of self-directed healing.Chapters:0:00 - Introduction6:04 - Jared's Story: The Injury & Living With Chronic Pain11:30 - Nutrition, Diet & the WAH Principle16:57 - The Painless App & the Future of Pain Management22:30 - The Five Pillars of a Brain Health Lifestyle27:48 - Resilience, Recovery & the Gut-Brain Connection35:11 - Psychedelics, Neuroplasticity & Closing Thoughts

Okay ladies… this episode is for every woman who has looked in the mirror and thought:“What is happening to my body?”The weight that won't budge.The belly fat you've never had before.The exhaustion doesn't match your effort.The cravings, anxiety, bloating, low libido, and inflammation.Doing everything “right” — and nothing works.And then the quiet thought:Is this just aging… or is something actually wrong?Today I wanted a woman on the couch with me because there are things we just don't want to talk about with men. Things only another woman can understand, normalize, and validate.So I brought on Lauren Douglas, Family Nurse Practitioner and longevity-focused women's health provider at NuLevel Wellness. Lauren works with women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who feel tired, inflamed, stuck, dismissed, and disconnected from their bodies — and helps them understand what's happening beneath the surface.This conversation covers perimenopause, menopause, hormones, metabolism, and aging — but it's also about identity, trust, and learning to support your body instead of fighting it.We talk about why women's bodies change after 35, why “healthy” stops working the same way, and why so many women blame themselves for shifts that are not their fault.This is not a quick-fix episode.It's a you're not broken episode.In this episode, we talk about:Why weight gain, belly fat, and insulin resistance show up in midlifeCravings, food noise, and nighttime hungerDeep exhaustion — even when you're eating well and exercisingMuscle loss and protecting strength as you ageGLP-1 medications and peptides — where they fit (and where they don't)Chronic inflammation, joint pain, and “mystery symptoms”Gut issues and bloating during hormone shiftsCortisol, stress weight, and wired-but-tired sleepLibido changes, dryness, and relationship impactHow to know whether you need hormones, peptides, GLP-1s, lifestyle shifts or none of the aboveMost importantly, we talk about agency — advocating for your health, asking better questions, and refusing to accept “this is just how it is.”This season isn't a decline.It's a transition.And transitions deserve education, compassion, and real support.Gentle content note:Hormonal changes, weight gain, sexual health, anxiety, inflammation, and medical dismissal are discussed.After listening:Notice where you've been blaming yourself instead of listening to your body.Ask: What if my body isn't failing — it's asking for something different?Start one conversation you've been avoiding.You're not crazy. You're not broken. You don't have to navigate this alone.Key moments from the episode:00:00 When You Don't Recognize Your Body03:20 Why These Changes Feel Sudden07:05 Early Signs of Perimenopause10:45 Why Weight Won't Budge14:40 Belly Fat & Insulin Resistance23:55 Hormones, BV & the Gut Link28:20 When Healthy Eating Stops Working37:10 GLP-1s for Women Explained45:55 Brain Fog & Hormones50:10 Libido & Dryness58:50 Inflammation & “Mystery” Symptoms1:03:20 Gut Issues & Hormones1:11:05 Choosing the Right Support PathConnect with Heidi:Website: https://heidipowell.net/Email: podcast@heidipowell.netInstagram: @realheidipowellFacebook: Heidi PowellYouTube: @RealHeidiPowellTrain with Heidi on her Show Up App: https://www.showupfit.app/Connect with Lauren Douglas:Website: https://nulevelwellness.com/Instagram: @laurendouglas_fnp (https://www.instagram.com/laurendouglas_fnp/)About Lauren Douglas:Lauren Douglas, FNP-C, is a Family Nurse Practitioner specializing in longevity, hormone, and metabolic health.

What if your power returns the moment you return to the core of your impeccable being? On this week's episode of Love University, we continue the exploration of the Hara, your psychological and energetic centerpoint of balance, intuition, and grounded strength. In Part 1, we introduced the Hara as your internal anchor. In Part 2, we go deeper into the discipline of living from that anchor. Focus is not accidental. Stability is not random. Inner authority is cultivated. When you operate from your Hara, your life gains direction and steadiness without strain. You stop chasing energy and begin conserving and directing it. Here are three ways to deepen your Hara focus and strengthen your inner command: Guard Your Attention and Direct Your Energy Hara focus begins with disciplined attention. The people you associate with often influence your emotional baseline. Calm, patient, purpose-driven individuals strengthen your center. Chronic exposure to outrage, sensationalism, and negative narratives fractures it. Your concentration is a finite resource. When it is scattered across gossip, endless scrolling, or catastrophizing, your power weakens. Every deliberate action rebuilds realignment. When you make each move purposeful, you begin to concentrate your forces. Nervous energy decreases. Your breathing steadies. You think more clearly. Over time, your presence gains power. Instead of reacting to every stimulus, you become selective about what deserves your response. Energy that once leaked into distraction gathers into strength. Create a Hara Focus Statement and Live From It Power increases when direction becomes clear. A Hara Focus Statement is a short declaration of what your life is organized around. It may center on service, creativity, leadership, faith, family, or mastery of a craft. When you define it and revisit it daily, your decisions simplify. Competing impulses lose intensity. You stop drifting. History shows us that focused individuals concentrate their energy around one guiding aim. Lincoln focused on freeing the slaves. Martin Luther King Jr. concentrated on civil rights. Florence Nightingale dedicated herself to healing with compassion. Their clarity multiplied their force. The same principle applies personally. When your mission is defined, setbacks no longer scatter you. They refine you. Each obstacle becomes part of the path rather than proof of defeat.   Stand in the Centerpoint and Integrate Your Extremes The Hara is your emotional midpoint. Between arrogance and insecurity lies grounded confidence. Between aggression and passivity there is self-respect. Between despair and fantasy you find mature optimism. Living from the Centerpoint allows you to hold these opposites without being torn apart by them. Before long, you begin to see that disappointment and fulfillment are connected. High expectations create the possibility of both. Small expectations reduce risk but also limit expansion. When you stand in the middle, you stop fearing either outcome. Time loosens its grip. You no longer feel chased by the future or haunted by the past. You live in the present moment with full awareness, drawing from memory and vision without being dominated by either. When you return to the core of your impeccable being, distractions lose their pull and pressure loses its grip. What remains is steadiness, clarity, and the quiet authority of someone who knows exactly who they are.   Also, make sure you pick up a copy of Invincible You on Amazon at https://tinyurl.com/3y3szh27.

In this insightful conversation, endocrinologist Dr Rocio Salas-Whalen joins Bahar to demystify the science and emotional journey behind GLP-1 medications. They explore how these drugs—originally developed for diabetes—have become a cornerstone of modern metabolic and hormonal health. From microdosing pitfalls to the importance of muscle preservation, protein intake, and hydration, Dr Salas-Whalen explains why these medications can be transformative when used responsibly under medical supervision. The discussion also touches on the psychological side of weight loss, the future of obesity treatment, and how GLP-1 might even influence brain health and addiction recovery. Dr Salas-Whalen’s new book Weightless offers practical guidance for women navigating midlife metabolism with compassion and science. Key Takeaways GLP-1 medications were discovered in 2005 and have redefined metabolic health. Chronic inflammation is a central issue in obesity and ageing. Microdosing doesn’t work—therapeutic dosing under expert care is essential. Muscle mass is the engine of metabolism and longevity. 100–110 grams of protein per day supports muscle, bone, and skin health. Hydration is often neglected but vital. GLP-1 may support addiction recovery and emotional stability. Sustainable change requires both science and emotional awareness.

Chronic diseases now affect nearly 6 in 10 adults — and they're no longer just adult diseases. Type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, high blood pressure, and inflammatory conditions are rising in children. Yet research suggests that up to 80% of common chronic diseases are preventable, and many are even reversible, when we address root causes instead of just symptoms. So why are we seeing them earlier than ever? After more than 20 years in emergency medicine, Dr. Ritu Saluja-Sharma began noticing a troubling pattern: preventable diseases were filling hospital beds — and showing up younger and younger. In this episode of Uncover Your Eyes, Dr. Meenal Agarwal sits down with Dr. Saluja-Sharma, double board-certified physician trained in Lifestyle Medicine, to unpack why this is happening.

Chronic levels of stress, be it from food, relationships, physical exertion, thought patterns, or the environment, all tax the adrenal glands. Karen tells us how and why this happens. With taxed adrenals we are left feeling burnt out and reach for coffee and stimulants, forcing us to push past our bodies need to rest. Luis and Karen talk about cultural conditioning around resting in the age of a DO MORE culture. They also address cancer, viruses, and chronic fatigue. We always love exploring the science with Karen behind why our bodies do what they do! You can read more about Karen's work, and register for her courses, here: https://karen-r.mylearnworlds.com/pages/homeYou can listen to previous episodes with Karen Hurd here:[Ep. 256] How Stress Affects Your Hormones, Digestion, & What To Eat About It w/ Karen Hurd[Ep. 218] The Biology Of Your Emotions & How Food Helps w/ Karen Hurd[Ep. 8] Healing Your Body With Beans | Karen Hurd[Bonus Episode] The Sugar-To-Adrenaline PipelineYou can read more about, and register for, the Embodied ADHD 6-month program, here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/slow-practice-adhd You can read more about, and register for, Camille's Embodying My Cycles & Rhythms 6-month group here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/cycles-and-rhythms-slow-group You can register for the FREE Food Therapy session here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/events/recover-from-burnout----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/ You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?

That's why I love working with herbal allies that support the nervous system, immune system, and sleep naturally, instead of forcing or overriding the body. These three legendary blends from WishGarden Herbs are ones I personally trust and come back to again and again: Deep Stress Daily Calm is my go-to when life feels relentless. Chronic stress impacts hormones, immunity, energy, and mood — not just mentally, but physically. This blend features ashwagandha and nourishing nervine herbs that help calm the stress response both in the moment and over time. It supports healthier cortisol patterns, steadier energy, improved sleep quality, and a more balanced mood — helping the body shift out of constant high gear and back into regulation. When stress shows up as a racing mind at night, Sleepy Nights & Fresh Mornings is such a gentle yet powerful support. I love that it's formulated without melatonin, valerian, or kava, so it supports natural sleep rhythms without dependency or morning grogginess. Whether taken before bed or during unwanted night wakings, it helps calm the mind so the body can settle into deeper, more restorative sleep. And when you start to feel that familiar "something's coming on" feeling, Kick-Ass Immune Activator is what I reach for. This fast-acting blend supports immune and respiratory health right when the body needs it most — helping you respond early instead of waiting until you're already depleted. Because supporting your immune system proactively makes a massive difference. What I love most about WishGarden Herbs is that their formulas are USDA Certified Organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan, and crafted to work with the body's innate intelligence. These aren't quick fixes — they're true herbal allies. Discover the natural power of WishGarden Herbs' legendary blends and save 20% on your order with code NOSUGARCOATING.

The quality of your closest relationships influences heart health as strongly as conventional risk factors by shaping daily stress levels, recovery capacity, and long-term resilience Couples who approach heart health together exercise more consistently, reduce smoking more effectively, and follow treatment plans better than people working alone Chronic relationship conflict and emotional disconnection keep stress hormones elevated, quietly straining blood vessels, heart rhythm, and metabolism over time Supportive connection lowers stress signaling, stabilizes heart rhythm, improves sleep quality, and reinforces healthier daily habits that protect your heart Addressing relationship strain alongside key lifestyle factors like daily walking, adequate carbohydrates, and eliminating vegetable oils removes a constant biological load from your heart and makes healthy behaviors sustainable

What if chronic inflammation—not aging itself—is the real reason energy fades, disease risk rises, and resilience declines as the years go by? Today's conversation challenges the idea that inflammation is just something that "comes with age." Instead, we explore how targeted science, smart biology, and informed choices can dramatically reshape how you age. Chronic inflammation is the silent driver behind many of the diseases we associate with aging—cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, metabolic dysfunction, autoimmune disorders, and even cancer. Yet most people don't understand why inflammation persists, how it accelerates biological aging, or what actually works to control it at the cellular level. Samuel Shepherd is an award-winning physicist, inventor, and biomedical innovator with multiple patents in applied health science. After surviving a rare and aggressive bone-marrow cancer, Sam redirected his scientific expertise toward understanding inflammation at its molecular roots. He is the inventor behind ValAsta, the only patented glycosidic form of astaxanthin designed to improve cellular uptake and therapeutic impact. In this episode, you'll learn why inflammation is a root cause of aging, how bioavailability determines whether supplements help or fail,  what makes targeted antioxidants fundamentally different and practical steps to reduce inflammatory load and promote healthspan extension.

"Even now, many patients remain misunderstood and mislabelled by their clinician and their family, and even by our society." In this instalment of the ERS Monograph podcast, Guido Marchi (Early Career Member representative for the Monograph) meets with the Guest Editors of Chronic Cough: Woo-Jung Song, Lorcan McGarvey, Peter S.P. Cho and Kian Fan Chung. They reflect on the way in which chronic cough has evolved from being just a symptom of other diseases to an independent condition recognised for its complexity. In a lively and informative discussion, they cover topics such as antitussive development, the key tools and methods of chronic cough assessment, and the importance of a multidisciplinary team in the cough clinic.

Marking 5 months since Charlie Kirk's execution on Sept 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University, Stew dismantles the Zionist cover-up shielding his killers. JD Sharp joins Stew to discuss the illusion of American democracy exposed by the latest Epstein files drop. Trump shows up over 38,000 times, linked to unspeakable crimes against kids, with survivors naming him directly in assaults.  

Chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity are killing more people than ever before. Could your diet be the biggest driver of this risk? Today, Dr Mark Hyman explains why food matters more than genetics for long-term health, and how one diet change can make the biggest difference.  Alongside Professor Tim Spector, Mark, a 15-times New York Times bestselling author and a practising family doctor, explores how modern eating is linked to chronic disease and what the science says reduces risk. We break down how food is designed to make us eat more, how this affects metabolism, insulin and inflammation, and why this matters more than your genes. By the end of the episode, you'll understand the single most important dietary change Mark believes can lower chronic disease risk, based on clinical experience. If the modern world is driving these conditions, what's one small change you can make to take back control of your future health?

Is America angry enough right now? Is Spectators one of the best comics to come out in recent years? Was this first released on Substack? Is this the kind of book you wanna read in one sitting? Are we allowed to drink beer on YouTube? Do we want a Bud Light or Coors sponsorship? Is this comic violent and horny? Does Brian K. Vaughan like Family Guy? Who is #LEADERBOARD?  What are the rules for the afterlife in this story? What did we look like at half our current ages? Is Anthony the runt of the Comics and Chronic litter? Does this comic mostly take place in the future? What is Pride of Baghdad about? Is The Lion King a war movie? Is Black Panther just a live action version of The Lion King? Are there Josh Gad haters on the pod? Is Spectators a love letter to movies? Do movies define the characters of Val and Sam? What's the significance of The Terminator and The Great Train Robbery to this comic? Should we cover Runaways? Does this comic have a 9/11 reference?

In this episode, I sit down with Daria Mochly-Rosen to explore the powerful role mitochondria play in our energy, brain health, metabolism, and long term resilience. We talk about the science behind sleep, strength training, stress, and nutrition, and how simple daily habits can support better healthspan without falling into burnout or extreme biohacks.We also cover the cultural pressure to hustle nonstop, why slowing down is not a weakness, and how connection, family, and meaningful conversations can actually support your biology. She breaks down the fascinating truth about how we inherit mitochondria, how lifestyle choices influence cellular health, and why it is never too late to start building stronger, more resilient energy from the inside out.→ Leave Us A Voice Message!

Trump's named 38,000+ times in the Epstein files he swore to release—yet he lies, obstructs, attacks Massie, and buries millions more pages to hide his pedophile accomplice role. Full truth exposes the child-sacrifice network he protects at all costs. They murdered Charlie Kirk with a military-grade exploding lavalier mic rigged by insiders who sold him out for rejecting Israel's blood money – forget the 30-06 fairy tale, John Bray is dismantling it piece by piece with motion mapping, explosive gas analysis, shrapnel forensics, and custom ballistic dummies that replicate the exact brain-stem-killing blast.  

Living with a chronic illness can impact every area of life—physically, emotionally, and mentally—but it doesn't have to define who you are or limit what's possible. For many, the journey involves navigating pain, medical systems, unanswered questions, and the challenge of advocating for yourself when symptoms aren't always visible. This conversation explores what it really means to reclaim agency, seek holistic support, and redefine what “living well” can look like alongside a diagnosis. It's about empowerment, curiosity, and taking ownership of your healing journey one step at a time. In this episode of The Inside Story Podcast, April sits down with Wendy Bjork, known as The Empress of MS, to talk about living with Multiple Sclerosis and refusing to let chronic illness dictate her identity or her life. Wendy shares her personal journey, the lessons she's learned navigating the medical system, and how holistic approaches and self-advocacy have transformed the way she manages her health. Join me and Wendy as we talk about: Chronic illness doesn't have to become your identity—you can live with it without letting it define you Being dismissed by doctors is common, which makes self-advocacy a non-negotiable skill Healing isn't just about medication—your environment, stress levels, and daily habits matter more than most people realize The products you use in your home and on your body can quietly fuel inflammation and symptoms Small, consistent changes often create bigger results than dramatic “overnight fixes” You don't have to choose between traditional medicine and holistic care—you get to decide what works for you Empowerment begins the moment you stop ignoring your body and start listening to it Wendy's story is a powerful reminder that a diagnosis doesn't get to write the ending of your story—you do. If this episode resonated with you or someone you love, share it with them and help spread this message of empowerment and possibility.

That's why I love working with herbal allies that support the nervous system, immune system, and sleep naturally, instead of forcing or overriding the body. These three legendary blends from WishGarden Herbs are ones I personally trust and come back to again and again: Deep Stress Daily Calm is my go-to when life feels relentless. Chronic stress impacts hormones, immunity, energy, and mood — not just mentally, but physically. This blend features ashwagandha and nourishing nervine herbs that help calm the stress response both in the moment and over time. It supports healthier cortisol patterns, steadier energy, improved sleep quality, and a more balanced mood — helping the body shift out of constant high gear and back into regulation. When stress shows up as a racing mind at night, Sleepy Nights & Fresh Mornings is such a gentle yet powerful support. I love that it's formulated without melatonin, valerian, or kava, so it supports natural sleep rhythms without dependency or morning grogginess. Whether taken before bed or during unwanted night wakings, it helps calm the mind so the body can settle into deeper, more restorative sleep. And when you start to feel that familiar "something's coming on" feeling, Kick-Ass Immune Activator is what I reach for. This fast-acting blend supports immune and respiratory health right when the body needs it most — helping you respond early instead of waiting until you're already depleted. Because supporting your immune system proactively makes a massive difference. What I love most about WishGarden Herbs is that their formulas are USDA Certified Organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan, and crafted to work with the body's innate intelligence. These aren't quick fixes — they're true herbal allies. Discover the natural power of WishGarden Herbs' legendary blends and save 20% on your order with code NOSUGARCOATING.

In this week's episode of Medicine: The Truth, hosts Jeremy Corr and Dr. Robert Pearl examine a sweeping set of developments shaping American healthcare. From the first state-approved use of generative AI to prescribe medications without human oversight to rising healthcare costs, from worsening vaccine misinformation to the stubborn persistence of preventable disease, this show focuses on biggest stories in medicine today. The episode opens with a groundbreaking and controversial pilot program in Utah that allows a generative AI system to renew prescriptions for chronic disease without physician involvement. From there, the conversation turns to the relentless rise in healthcare spending. New federal data show Americans now spend more than $15,700 per person annually on medical care, with costs growing twice as fast as the economy. While insurance coverage remains high for now, Pearl warns that expiring subsidies, Medicaid restrictions and rising premiums are already pushing millions out of coverage. For many families, healthcare affordability has become a top issue and, increasingly, a political fault line heading into the midterm election cycle. Here are more major storylines from MTT episode 103: Exercise as medicine for depression: A large meta-analysis finds that regular exercise can be as effective as antidepressant medication for many patients. Trump's healthcare plan fades quickly: Pearl explains why the president's proposal disappeared from the headlines. Measles returns in force: Cases are nearing 1,000 and outbreaks concentrated in under-vaccinated communities. Vaccine battles intensify under RFK Jr.: New appointments to federal advisory committees raise alarm among scientists, as anti-vaccine voices gain influence. Chronic disease remains America's top killer: Cardiovascular disease continues to claim nearly one million lives annually. Generative AI's biggest promise: Pearl makes the case that AI-driven, at-home monitoring could finally transform chronic disease management. Cancer trends turn ominous: Colorectal cancer deaths among Americans under 50 are rising sharply, becoming the leading cancer killer in this age group. Genetics vs. lifestyle revisited: New research suggests genetics may account for half of lifespan variation but lifestyle still determines how many of those years are lived in good health. High-deductible health plans: New data show cancer patients with high-deductible insurance have significantly higher mortality. GLP-1 weight-loss pills arrive: The first oral GLP-1 drug launches to record demand. A devastating flu season for children: Despite the availability of safe vaccines, pediatric flu deaths reach alarming levels among unvaccinated kids. As the episode closes, Dr. Pearl delivers a stark warning about the resurgence of pseudoscience in medicine. Tune in for more fact-based coverage and analysis of healthcare's biggest stories.   * * * Dr. Robert Pearl is the author of the new book “ChatGPT, MD: How AI-Empowered Patients & Doctors Can Take Back Control of American Medicine” about the impact of AI on the future of medicine.

Get your free 14-Day Rapid Start Fat Loss Guide to set up a sustainable approach that protects your testosterone and performance instead of the chronic restriction that tanks your hormones. Go to:https://witsandweights.com/fatloss--Struggling with low T?The testosterone supplement industry wants you to believe your T levels require exotic herbs, pills, and "testosterone booster" powders.The TRT industry wants you to believe your hormones are the root cause.Many men over 40 with suboptimal testosterone don't have (primarily) a hormone problem.They have a lifestyle problem. Chronic under-sleeping, chronic dieting, and chronic stress suppress testosterone far more than you might think.Learn the 7 evidence-based lifestyle factors that affect testosterone levels in men, why strength training is non-negotiable for hormone health, how chronic calorie restriction backfires (even if you're trying to lose fat), and the BIGGEST factor that is lowering your testosterone by 10 to 15 percent.You'll also discover why popular supplements like ashwagandha and tongkat ali are the last thing to focus on, and how to reframe testosterone optimization as a natural byproduct of doing the fundamentals right for building muscle and losing fat after 40.Timestamps:0:00 - Why testosterone boosters fail and what actually works3:39 - Testosterone as a signal of how you treat your body7:19 - How the HPG axis regulates hormone production9:31 - 7 natural, evidence-based testosterone boosters11:31 - Strength training as the foundation for hormone health15:30 - Chronic dieting vs. strategic fat loss for men over 4019:11 - Sleep deprivation and the testosterone crash study22:23 - My 14-day rapid start fat loss approach23:12 - Body fat, aromatization, and when losing fat helps vs. hurts26:19 - Stress, cortisol, and the recovery connection

If you've ever felt like dieting turns into an all-out mental and physical battle, you're not broken, and you're definitely not weak. In this episode, we're unpacking the real reason fat loss feels so hard for so many people, and it has a lot less to do with discipline than you've been told. Your body is wired for survival, not aesthetics. When you diet, powerful biological systems kick in to protect you. Hunger hormones rise. Fullness signals weaken. Your metabolism slows down to conserve energy. Even your brain changes how it responds to food. These aren't flaws!! They're evolutionary features designed to keep you alive during times of food scarcity.On top of that, modern life stacks the odds even further against you. Chronic stress, poor sleep, constant exposure to hyper-palatable food, and years of ingrained habits all make long-term dieting feel like swimming upstream.In this episode, we'll break down:• How leptin and ghrelin shift during fat loss• Why metabolic adaptation is normal (and not permanent damage)• How stress and sleep directly affect hunger and fat loss• Why dieting failure is rarely about willpower• How to work with your biology instead of constantly fighting itIf you've ever wondered why you can follow a plan perfectly and still feel obsessed with food, exhausted, or stuck... this conversation will help you understand what's actually happening inside your body and what to do about it.Subscribe for more conversations on training, physiology, identity, and sustainable progress for women.

Dr. Redd, author of The 30-Day Anti-Inflammatory Reset and a leader in functional and personalized medicine, explains to Maria how tiny, chronic inflammatory responses in the body are quietly driving these fatigue-ish flare-ups. The big aha? Inflammation isn't random! It's often your immune system reacting to everyday triggers. The good news: you can calm it. Dr. Redd breaks down how stress, blood sugar, movement, and food can either fuel inflammation or help heal it. For instance, Maria's jaw literally dropped when Dr. Redd explained how coffee could be contributing to her puffiness! You'll also learn why sunlight is a powerful anti-inflammatory tool, which key lab tests can reveal hidden inflammation, and the top two foods most commonly linked to flare-ups. If you've tried everything and still can't figure out why your body feels off, this episode could be the answer you've been waiting for. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Inflammation isn't just swelling, it's your immune system stuck on high alert: Chronic inflammation can quietly drive fatigue, brain fog, puffiness, hormone issues, and autoimmune flare-ups long before you feel “sick.” Your environment may be as inflammatory as your diet: Sunlight, stress, air quality, water, and even simple habits (like wearing shoes indoors) can either inflame your body or help it heal. Stabilizing blood sugar & removing top trigger foods can change everything:  Keeping glucose steady,  and addressing gluten and dairy,  can dramatically reduce inflammation, improve energy, and calm autoimmune activity.

Tonight on The Stew Peters Show, Jeff Berwick joins me to expose how Bill Gates, Epstein, and their demonic cabal plotted pandemics since 2011 for trillion-dollar profits, laundered billions through the Gates Foundation, obsessed over gene-editing Africans while testing deadly jabs on black kids, and engineered COVID as a global blood sacrifice ritual. Joining me tonight is E. Michael Jones to blow the lid off the Zionist Super Bowl psyop that's erasing the Epstein files proving our leaders are kid-eating pedophiles dragging us into nuclear war for Israel against Iran, ready to wipe out our troops. Epstein's alive, still eating child jerky in hiding. Files prove PizzaGate, Zorro Ranch kid farms, human jerky shipments, and acid baths—this cannibal network runs bolder than ever.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Dr. Jack Wolfson, board-certified cardiologist and founder of Natural Heart Doctor, to challenge everything you think you know about heart disease. You'll discover why the "100-year heart" isn't a myth but a design principle. They unpack how true health is built through eat well, live well, think well — and why testing, not guessing, changes everything.   You'll learn why lowering cholesterol or blood pressure with medication isn't the same as addressing root causes. Dr. Wolfson explains the real role of inflammation, oxidative stress, metabolic health, and advanced biomarkers in cardiovascular risk. They also discuss fasting, nutrient-dense ancestral nutrition, and why seafood and organ meats play a powerful role in heart longevity.   You'll also explore overlooked drivers of heart disease, including sleep quality, sunlight exposure, mold toxicity, oral health, nervous system alignment, and mental well-being. The conversation reveals how purpose, community, and emotional resilience directly impact cardiovascular outcomes. This episode reframes heart health as a whole-life strategy, not just a lab number.   In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction: The Myth of Sudden Health Decline 00:26 Welcome Back: Introducing Dr. Jack Wolfson 00:57 The 100 Year Heart: A Natural Approach to Cardiovascular Health 04:05 Conventional Medicine vs. Natural Health 07:51 The Importance of Lab Testing and Biomarkers 14:07 Optimal Nutrition for Heart Health 19:11 Lifestyle Strategies for Longevity 25:28 The Power of Positive Thinking and Community 29:12 Conclusion: Resources and Final Thoughts   If you want practical, natural strategies to balance your hormones, heal your gut, boost your energy, and slow aging, don't miss The Dr. Josh Axe Show.

When 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her home, investigators were quickly faced with blood evidence and ransom claims that did not align with standard abduction patterns. In this episode of Zone 7, Sheryl McCollum, retired NYPD homicide detectives Dan Murphy and Tom Smith, and forensic pathologist Dr. Priya Banerjee assess why blood at the scene, a prolonged presence inside the home, and Nancy’s medical vulnerabilities undermine the ransom narrative. The panel also examines investigative decisions and evidence handling that may shape accountability. For those looking to catch up further as the situation develops, additional coverage and updates can be found on Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.

Appearing strong is often praised as discipline, resilience, and maturity. But what happens when strength never softens? In this episode, we explore the hidden biological and emotional cost of always holding it together. Chronic vigilance, digestive dysregulation, emotional isolation, and fatigue that rest doesn't fix aren't personal failures — they're signals from a nervous system that never learned it was safe to stand down. This conversation unpacks how strength becomes armor, why the body compensates when rest feels unsafe, and how true regulation begins not with effort — but with restraint. Show Notes ➝ Why appearing strong keeps the nervous system in survival mode ➝ The difference between resilience and chronic vigilance ➝ How digestion, sleep, and fatigue reveal hidden stress ➝ Why rest can feel unsafe for high-achievers ➝ Strength vs. regulation: the biological distinction ➝ How restraint becomes a higher form of discipline ➝ What it means to soften without collapsing Be sure to subscribe to our podcast and YouTube channel so you never miss an episode of the EASE OS: Less Effort, More Power!

Send us a textThe brain's mysterious claustrum region, its role in cognitive flexibility, and how substances like alcohol and psychedelics affect neural circuits and behavior. Not medical advice.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Cerebral cortex structure: Described as a six-layered structure with pyramidal neurons and inhibitory interneurons; information flows between layers and regions to process sensory input and enable complex behaviors.Claustrum anatomy & connectivity: A sheet-like subcortical structure embedded in white matter, bidirectionally connected to cortical areas, especially prefrontal regions in rodents, with broader connections in primates and humans suggesting an integrative role.Claustrum function in cognition: Experiments show claustrum activation during task switches from easy to demanding modes, synchronizing cortical networks via inhibition and rebound excitation, potentially enabling flexible behavior.Mouse models in neuroscience: Mice are used for genetic tractability to manipulate and monitor specific circuits, revealing claustrum's role in vigilance tasks but not simple ones.Alcohol's effects on brain circuits: Chronic alcohol promotes inflexible behaviors by altering striatal interneurons and inhibitory inputs, leading to compulsive drinking despite aversive consequences.Psychedelics & brain networks: Psilocybin disrupts default mode and other networks, inhibits claustrum via serotonin 1B receptors, with effects persisting 24 hours, possibly contributing to therapeutic benefits.Evolution of claustrum: Connectivity expands from rodents to humans, shifting from cognitive-specific to broader network control, including anti-correlated states like default mode versus task-engaged.Integration of claustrum & basal ganglia: Claustrum funnels prefrontal signals to basal ganglia for action selection; alcohol may impair this, exacerbating inflexibility in addiction.ABOUT THE GUEST: Brian, PhD is a professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, where he leads a neuroscience lab studying brain circuits underlying flexible and inflexible behaviors using mouse models, with a focus on alcohol use disorder.Support the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

Gia Santos joins Stew to dismantle the myth of Trump's mass deportations. Over a year into his second term, less than 350,000 illegals deported in 2025—far from the promised 50 million. Instead, DHS, ICE, and Border Patrol, backed by Palantir, are building a facial recognition dystopia to track Americans. Jake GTV exposes Trump's sellout betrayal, buried Epstein child rape tapes, and the AI surveillance grid Talmudic perverts are forcing on Americans to destroy us while pushing Netanyahu's Iran war.
