In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Dr. Bill Rawls to explore how stealth microbes reactivate under stress and quietly drive autoimmune issues, Lyme, and even long COVID. You'll learn why addressing inflammation alone won't lead to lasting healing.   Discover how your lifestyle, diet, and sleep patterns may be silently weakening your immune defenses, allowing dormant infections to take over. Dr. Rawls breaks down the real root causes of chronic conditions and what needs to happen at the cellular level to reverse them.   You'll also hear how herbs—often dismissed as “weak” remedies—actually provide powerful antimicrobial and immune-modulating support. Learn which specific herbal compounds can strengthen your cells, reduce microbial load, and help your body restore balance naturally.

Lexi Silver is 15 years old. She lost both of her parents before she turned 11. That should tell you enough—but it doesn't. Because Lexi isn't here for your pity. She's not a sob story. She's not a trauma statistic. She's a writer, an advocate, and one of the most emotionally intelligent people you'll ever hear speak into a microphone.In this episode, Lexi breaks down what grief actually feels like when you're a kid and the adults around you just don't get it. She talks about losing her mom on Christmas morning, her dad nine months later, how the system let her down, and how Instagram trolls tell her she's faking it for attention. She also explains why she writes, what Experience Camps gave her, how she channels anger into poems, and what to say—and not say—to someone grieving.Her life isn't a Netflix drama. But it should be.And by the way, she's not “so strong.” She's just human. You'll never forget this conversation.RELATED LINKS• Lexi on Instagram: @meet.my.grief• Buy her book: The Girl Behind Grief's Shadow• Experience CampsFEEDBACKLike this episode?

This week on Walk and Roll Live – Disability Stories, we sit down with Liv Kneller, a courageous young woman whose life took an unexpected turn from an active, healthy childhood in the UK to navigating the complexities of chronic illness. Liv opens up about the long road to receiving her diagnosis of POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), dysautonomia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and other overlapping health conditions. From a back injury in her teens to a series of debilitating symptoms that forced her to take leave from work, Liv shares her emotional and physical journey—including moments of hope, grief, healing, and transformation. She talks candidly about how she's learning to live with her “new normal,” the mental health challenges that have run parallel to her physical symptoms, and what keeps her going on the hard days. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating invisible illnesses or supporting someone who is. Liv's story is a powerful reminder that healing is not linear—and that acceptance, community, and self-compassion can carry us through the darkest times. Walk and Roll Live Instagram

We talk about why that viral "78% improvement" elimination diet study is actually BS, why you shouldn't be afraid of fruit, and the truth about Red 40 and food additives (spoiler: the US actually has stricter regulations than the EU). We talk about what stress really does to our bodies, why community is the secret ingredient most people ignore, and practical tips that actually work for ADHD brains. If you're tired of conflicting nutrition advice and want to know what the research actually says, this one's for you.

This conversation is an invitation to reconnect with the parts of you that have long been silenced. To reconnect with the truth of who you are. And to feel what your body is really saying through symptoms and sensations. It also serves as a reminder that healing isn't about fixing — it's about coming home to yourself through the power of somatic healing, emotional awareness, and embodied safety.   In this transformative episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with my dear friend, Dr. Christian Gonzalez — naturopathic doctor, host of Heal Thy Self, and founder of the Emotional Liberation Method — to explore the powerful connection between the body, trauma, and true healing. I've personally had the honor of working with Dr. G, and I can tell you — his work is nothing short of profound. His understanding of the body, trauma, and emotional expression has shifted the way I see healing, both in myself and in others.   From the brilliant role of fascia to the energy of repressed emotion, Dr. G offers a fresh lens on why we get sick — and what it actually takes to get well. Together, we dive into how childhood patterns shape adult identities, how the nervous system underpins nearly every chronic condition, and why voice and vibration — not just breath — may be the missing link in somatic healing.   We also touch on the emotional profiles often overlooked in cancer care, the unspoken shame many women carry, the truth about self-abandonment, and how co-regulation can become a portal to profound transformation.   Whether you're on a healing journey or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, this conversation is a powerful reminder: What if your chronic symptoms weren't random — but messages from a body that's been trying to speak to you all along?

On this episode, Cheryl & Eileen talk with sleep expert and researcher D. Deborah Da Costa about evidence based interventions to improve sleep in people with rheumatic conditions. Dr. Da Costa explores how sleep challenges are deeply entangled with social and emotional wellbeing as well as pain, fatigue and cognition for those living with rheumatoid arthritis and related conditions. She also overviews Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI), which is the the gold standard for treating sleep disturbances. Whether it's resisting social pressure to stay up late or coping with fatigue while caregiving, this episode explores sleep-related struggles and provides specific tips for improving sleep.Episode at a glance:Sleep Is a Critical Yet Underrecognized Component of Arthritis Care: Despite its profound impact, sleep is often neglected in both patient and provider conversations. Poor sleep can worsen arthritis symptoms such as pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and cognitive dysfunction—even when the disease is otherwise well-managed.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI) Is a Promising Non-Pharmacological Treatment: CBTI is considered the gold standard for treating insomnia without medication.

Michelle Andrews built a career inside the pharma machine long before anyone knew what “DTC” meant. She helped launch Rituxan and watched Allegra commercials teach America how to ask for pills by name. Then she landed in the cancer fun house herself, stage 4 breast cancer, and learned exactly how hollow all the “journey” slide decks feel when you're the one circling the drain.We talk about what happens when the insider becomes the customer, why pill organizers and wheat field brochures still piss her off, and how she fired doctors who couldn't handle her will to live. You'll hear about the dawn of pharma advertising, the pre-Google advocacy hustle, and what she wants every brand team to finally admit about patient experience.If you've ever wondered who decided windsurfing was the best way to sell allergy meds—or what happens when you stop caring if you make people uncomfortable—listen up.RELATED LINKSMichelle Andrews on LinkedInTrinity Life Sciences – Strategic AdvisoryJade Magazine – Ticking Time Bombs ArticleNIHCM Foundation – Breast Cancer StoryFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Longevity isn't just about adding years to life—it's about adding life to those years. At the heart of lasting vitality are the often-overlooked essentials: deep social connection, a clear sense of purpose, and a mindset filled with optimism. These emotional and relational foundations are just as critical as what's happening inside the body. Thanks to emerging diagnostics and the growing field of functional and longevity medicine, we now have the ability to detect subtle shifts in biology—long before symptoms arise—giving us the chance to course-correct with personalized strategies. By combining cutting-edge science with time-tested lifestyle practices like nourishing food, regular movement, restful sleep, and meaningful relationships, we can not only slow the aging process but begin to reverse it—unlocking a future where growing older means growing stronger, wiser, and more vibrant. In this episode, I explore, along with Peter Diamandis and Dr. Jeffrey Bland the keys to living a longer, healthier life by combining cutting-edge longevity science with the power of mindset, purpose, and meaningful connection.  Peter Diamandis is the founder and executive chairman of the XPRIZE Foundation, which leads the world in designing and operating large-scale incentive competitions. He was recently named by Fortune as one of the “World's 50 Greatest Leaders.” He is also the executive founder of Singularity University, a graduate-level Silicon Valley institution that counsels the world's leaders on exponentially growing technologies. Dr. Jeff Bland is the founder of Big Bold Health, a company on a mission to transform the way people think about one of nature's greatest innovations—the immune system. Through Big Bold Health, Dr. Bland is advocating for the power of Immuno-Rejuvenation to enhance immunity at a global level, often through the rediscovery of ancient food crops and superfoods. To get there, he is building a network of small farms and suppliers throughout the US that take a clear stance on regenerative agriculture, environmental stewardship, and planetary health. Dr. Bland's career in health spans more than 40 years. A nutritional biochemist by training, he began in academia as a university professor. He then spent three decades in the natural products industry, working alongside other pioneers. A lifelong educator, Dr. Bland has traveled the world many times over in his role as the “father of functional medicine.” In 1991, he and his wife, Susan, founded The Institute for Functional Medicine. In 2012, he founded another educational nonprofit called the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute. Dr. Bland is the author of The Disease Delusion: Conquering the Causes of Chronic Illness for a Healthier, Longer, and Happier Life, as well as countless additional books and research papers.

Your body never forgets and it keeps track of every thought, mood, trauma and emotion, storing them inside your body's tissues. Over time, as these things accumulate in your body, they cause inflammation and contribute to chronic disease and even autoimmune conditions.  This has been well understood by other cultures for thousands of years and is only now being proven by modern science.   TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: Why stress and trauma is not just a psychological event How your body stores emotions and memories in its tissues How these emotions can be released by manioulating the physical muscle, fascia or other tissues Functional medicine, sound and red light therapy How stored emotions can create symptoms that just won't go away - no matter what you do Takeaway action steps so you can begin releasing these emotions to heal your physical body   More from Dr. Eboni Cornish + the Amen Clinics: Website: jadeteta.com Books: jadeteta.com/jade-teta-books Instagram: @jadeteta YouTube: @drjade Email: support@jadeteta.com     Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

In our third week with our couple in their 80s, we consider options to obtain the most LTC benefits from annuities. If you already own annuities, check for a Chronic Illness rider or LTC rider.  If there is one, read it carefully as different rules apply to access enhanced benefits for care.  If you need help understanding your rider, ask me for guidance Some pay the LTC benefits tax-free and some don't.   Some require your need to be permanent, some don't. Some will enhance benefits for both cognitive and physical needs, and some don't. If you own an annuity (non-IRA) with a good amount of earnings, it can be repositioned to an annuity that can pay potentially three times the account value of the annuity, or more, tax-free when used for care.  This eliminates all the taxable gains your current annuity has earned over the years. If your annuity IS your LTC plan, there are wiser ways to use it than simply withdrawing the earnings and paying taxes on the gains. Schedule with me to learn more   

Many people struggling with chronic illness, fatigue, brain fog, or unexplained symptoms never find real answers because they're not addressing the root cause: cellular toxicity. In this episode, Dr. Robert Whitfield sits down with Dr. Daniel Pompa, a leading voice in cellular detox and functional medicine, to explore why so many people stay sick despite trying countless protocols. They break down how inflammation, toxic overload, and chemical exposure disrupt your body at the cellular level and what it actually takes to start healing. Whether you're dealing with hormonal imbalances, autoimmune symptoms, or post-explant recovery, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in root-cause healing and natural detox strategies that work.

“I was pumping in the NICU, feeling completely disconnected—and my husband looked at me and said, ‘Can you invite her in?' That moment changed everything. A nurse handed me a swab, I gave my baby colostrum for the first time, and I thought, ‘I'm a mommy.'” – Tanisha NICU mom and advocate Tanisha shares her deeply moving journey through an unexpected fetal diagnosis, a 157-day NICU stay, and the powerful moments that helped her reconnect with motherhood. Diagnosed at 20 weeks with Lower Urinary Tract Obstruction (LUTO)—a rare, life-threatening condition—Tanisha's son Jaleel faced impossible odds. From transferring care to Cincinnati Children's Hospital, navigating in-utero surgery, to forming a life-saving care team that included her husband and child life specialists, Tanisha's voice is a beacon of strength, love, and resilience.

Welcome back to Ditch the Lab Coat, the podcast where we break down the fascinating world of medicine with a blend of scientific skepticism and real-world insight. In today's episode, we dive deep into the mysteries of the vagus nerve—a nerve so ancient and essential, it's been called the “conductor” in the symphony of human physiology.Join host Dr. Mark Bonta as he sits down with Dr. Kevin Tracey, neurosurgeon, president and CEO of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, and a pioneer in the world of bioelectronic medicine. Dr. Tracey's breakthrough research has shown us that the vagus nerve is far more than just a conduit for signals—it's a key player in managing inflammation, regulating our immune system, and maybe even shaping the future of medicine.In this conversation, you'll explore the mind-bending complexity of the nervous system, discover how cutting-edge science is redefining how we treat diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and long Covid, and learn how a tiny chip implanted in the neck might one day replace whole classes of immune-suppressing drugs. Dr. Tracey shares metaphors, straight talk about medical myths, and a vision for a future where reprogramming the body's reflexes could offer relief to millions.Get ready for a journey that's equal parts awe-inspiring and practical, as we unpack the true potential (and real-world considerations) of harnessing the vagus nerve's power. Whether you're a healthcare professional, a science nerd, or just someone searching for new answers, this episode invites you to see medicine in a whole new way. Resources : ( https://feinstein.northwell.edu/ )Episode HighlightsVagus Nerve Complexity Unveiled — We're only scratching the surface of understanding the vagus nerve's vast, intricate network and its essential bodily roles.Inflammation: Friend and Foe — Inflammation is vital short-term, but when uncontrolled, it's destructive and underlies many autoimmune and chronic diseases.Nervous-Immune System Interplay — The nervous and immune systems communicate reflexively, with nerves directly capable of controlling immune and inflammatory responses.Bioelectronic Treatments Emerge — Vagus nerve stimulation—via implanted chips—shows promise for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis without full-body immunosuppression risks.Individualized Nerve Fiber Functions — Each of the 200,000 vagus fibers controls specific functions, forming a body-wide symphony of precision responses.Not All Self-Help Fits — Lifestyle hacks can support vagus health, but serious disease often requires targeted nerve stimulation, not general wellness.Caution Against Online Misinformation — Vagus nerve advice online is often oversimplified or inaccurate; nuance and scientific backing are essential.Lifestyle Still Matters — Balanced diet, sleep, exercise, and community all help regulate vagus nerve tone and reduce chronic stress.Future Disease Applications Possible — Vagus stimulation may treat IBD, MS, and neurodegenerative or psychiatric conditions as research evolves.Episode Timestamps6:25 — Exploring Nervous System Complexity9:08 — Vagus Nerve Controls Inflammation11:05 — Vagus Nerve: Brain Signals Control Inflammation15:45 — Nervous System's Role in Immunity20:43 — Understanding Your Vagus Nerves23:25 — Vagus Nerve Health and Research25:12 — Vagus Nerve Stimulation Insights29:36 — Vagus Nerve Stimulator: Inflammation Therapy32:13 — Neurotransmitter Effects on Cytokine Production38:22 — Minimizing Nerve Damage in Surgery39:30 — Vagus Nerve Stimulation Benefits43:42 — Exploring Vagus Nerve Mysteries46:42 — Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Autoimmune Diseases50:52 — Cold Plunges & Bioelectrical Future DISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Dr. Anne Marie Morse walks into the studio like a one-woman Jersey Broadway show and leaves behind the best damn TED Talk you've never heard. She's a neurologist, sleep medicine doc, narcolepsy expert, founder of D.A.M.M. Good Sleep, and full-time myth buster in a white coat. We talk about why sleep isn't a luxury, why your mattress does matter, and how melatonin is the new Flintstones vitamin with a marketing budget. We unpack the BS around sleep hygiene, blow up the medical gaslighting around “disorders,” and dig into how a former aspiring butterfly became one of the loudest voices for patient-centered science. Also: naps, kids, burnout, CPAPs, co-sleeping, airport pods, the DeLorean, and Carl Sagan. If you think you're getting by on five hours of sleep and vibes, you're not.

Can you really heal your body from within—without medication or expensive treatments? In this powerful episode of The Science of Self-Healing, Dr. Odell explores one of the most overlooked keys to physical and emotional wellness: the vagus nerve. Known as the "wandering nerve," the vagus connects your brain to your heart, gut, lungs, and more—regulating digestion, immune response, inflammation, and even your ability to feel calm and connected. He'll also explain the anatomy and function of this remarkable nerve, how it influences the autonomic nervous system, and why it's essential to your body's natural healing process. You'll also discover the latest on polyvagal theory, how to improve vagal tone, and practical, accessible ways to stimulate the vagus nerve naturally—like breathwork, cold exposure, chanting, laughter, and even meaningful eye contact. This episode isn't just science—it's an invitation to slow down, tune in, and awaken your body's deep wisdom to heal, restore, and thrive.

What does it mean to live in a body that doesn't always do what you wish it would?A body that's unpredictable, maybe in pain, maybe exhausted — a body shaped by chronic illness, disability, or the long echoes of medical trauma?This week on the podcast, I'm joined by the brilliant and deeply compassionate Dr. Jennifer Caspari, a psychologist who specializes in health psychology and lives with cerebral palsy. Her personal and professional wisdom come together in such a powerful way — this conversation felt like a breath of fresh air in a world that so often asks us to override, fix, or fight our bodies.We talk about what it means to be in relationship with your body when it doesn't feel like it's on your side — and how to cultivate self-compassion, presence, and joy even in the midst of that. (Her new book is a beautiful read, by the way).Jen shares her own story — how she came into therapy, what it's like navigating the world in a disabled body, and the mindset shifts that have helped her most during painful or difficult seasons.We explore:* How societal body image pressure intersects with disability and illness* Why we don't have to wait for symptoms to go away in order to start living* The role of values-based living and gentle courage in hard moments* Practical strategies for coping with chronic pain* What it really means to practice radical acceptance* Why chronic illness often involves grief — of function, identity, possibility* Navigating relationships and communicating needs with loved ones* Finding agency, even when so much feels out of your control* Living fully with a body that's chronically ill — and maybe always will beSupport the show: Enjoying this podcast?

Text your thoughts and questions!Living with a chronic illness can make traditional self-care advice feel impossible or out of reach. Many struggle to prioritize their well-being when dealing with unpredictable symptoms, fatigue, and the constant demands of managing a condition. It can be hard to know what "self-care" even means when your primary focus is often just getting through the day.This week, in episode 270 of the Positively Living Ⓡ Podcast, I sit down with Amber Tresca, an advocate and activist in the chronic illness community, to discuss practical, low-cost (or even no-cost!) self-care strategies. Amber, who lives with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), shares her insights on adapting self-care to fit your energy levels and lifestyle, helping you prioritize recovery, build resilience, and move toward a future where thriving is truly an option.Amber Tresca is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patient who was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 1989 at the age of 16 and underwent 2-step j-pouch surgery in 1999. Today, she is a speaker, facilitator, and advocate for people with IBD and works as a medical writer and editor, focusing on patient-facing content in the digestive and rare disease spaces.Amber and I cover the following topics:Why self-care, especially with chronic illness, is primarily about managing your condition and supporting your future self.How accessible self-care doesn't have to cost money; many powerful practices are free or low-cost.Simple actions like hydrating, listening to music, or stepping outside can significantly impact your well-being.The benefits of decluttering your physical and digital spaces, and "letting things go," to reduce mental load and stress.Why connecting with a trusted support system and even seeking professional financial advice are important, often overlooked, forms of self-care.Remember that even on days you feel completely disengaged, these tools will be waiting for you when you feel better. You won't always feel this way. Which of these self-care strategies will you try first to support your well-being?Learn more about Positively LivingⓇ and Lisa at https://positivelyproductive.com/podcast/Could you use some support?

What if the key to healing chronic illness wasn't found in a pill bottle, but in the same frequencies that naturally flow from the sun? In this illuminating episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with Robby Besner, Chief Science Officer and co-founder of Therasage, whose personal journey from desperate father to wellness pioneer has revolutionized how we think about detoxification and healing. Over 25 years ago, when his daughter was diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease, Robby watched conventional treatments drain their finances while providing minimal relief. Frustrated and determined, he dove deep into research and discovered the profound healing power of infrared frequencies — the same therapeutic wavelengths our bodies have evolved to receive from natural sunlight. You'll learn how infrared sauna therapy works differently than traditional sauna therapy, why regular detoxification practices are paramount in today's toxic world, and how subtle shifts — like sequencing your healing protocols — can make a profound impact on outcomes. Robby also unpacks the science behind bio-resonance, vibrational healing, and the hidden link between inflammation, toxicity, and cellular repair.   Whether you're dealing with chronic illness, seeking daily wellness optimization, or simply curious about the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern technology, this conversation will transform how you think about your body's innate ability to heal.
