Podcasts about chronic illness

214: In this episode, I'm diving into all things histamine—what it is, how it functions, and why it might be the missing link in your hormone and immune health journey. After sharing insights on the connection between histamine sensitivity and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), the response was massive.  I'm unpacking why histamine issues are more than just food reactions, how they relate to estrogen, menopause, and chronic inflammation, and why there's no one-size-fits-all solution. I've dealt with histamine challenges my whole life and supported countless patients through it.  This episode is a deep, honest look at the bigger picture behind histamine imbalance. Topics Discussed:  What are the symptoms of histamine intolerance and how is it connected to hormone imbalances? How does histamine affect estrogen levels and hormone replacement therapy (HRT)? What causes high histamine levels and how can you support balance naturally? What is the difference between histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)? How do lifestyle factors, diet, and gut health influence histamine sensitivity? Sponsored By: Nutrisense | Head over to nutrisense.io/drtyna to get 30% off your Nutrisense plan.

Most people battling chronic illness are stuck in a loop—symptoms, meds, side effects, more meds—and they still don't get better. Today's guest, Dr. Paul Savage, is a pioneer in plasma exchange therapy, and his work is honestly game-changing. Plasma exchange isn't new. It's been used in hospitals for over 50 years. But Dr. Savage is using it in a whole new way, and his results are nothing short of groundbreaking. We're talking about a 70–95% improvement in biomarkers. Up to 90% toxin reduction in just 3 months. Real reversal (yes, reversal) of cognitive decline, autoimmune flares, long COVID, and even pre-cancer markers.  So, what is plasma exchange? Think of it like an oil change for your blood. This therapy removes virtually all toxins by filtering them out of your plasma and replacing it with clean albumin. No other therapy can do this. And here's what blew me away: This isn't just for people who are already sick. It's for anyone who wants to stay healthy, especially if chronic illness runs in your family. Toxin accumulation breaks your DNA, suppresses your immune system, and speeds up aging before you feel anything at all. We also dive into how toxins fuel obesity, heart disease, infertility, autism, and neurological issues, and why detoxing needs to happen before symptoms hit. If you've tried “everything” and you're still not getting better, or you want to protect yourself and your family for the long haul, this is the episode you don't skip.   “ Toxicity is not something coming in the future. It's here today. Look at the evidence, it's around you. And if you don't think you've been impacted by this yet, your number just hasn't come up." ~ Dr. Paul Savage   In This Episode: - Dr. Savage's dramatic health transformation story - What is plasma exchange, and how does it work? - Why we're all toxic now: the 250 billion ton problem - MD Lifespan clinics — dispelling the myth of single toxin problems - Why chelation therapy isn't enough anymore - The complete MD Lifespan protocol explained - Cost of plasma exchange and locations - Real patient success stories - Diabetes, obesity, and the toxic connection - Fertility issues and protecting future generations - The top-most dangerous toxins (and hardest to remove) - Plasma donation misconceptions   For More: Visit https://mdlifespan.com/myersdetox    Products Mentioned: MD Lifespan Plasma Exchange Program – https://mdlifespan.com/myersdetox  Toxin Testing Kit – Available at: https://mdlifespan.com/myersdetox MDL CLEAN Guidebook – Available at: https://mdlifespan.com/myersdetox Puori PW1 Protein Powder: Get 20% off at https://puori.com/wendy  with code WENDY.

EPISODE DESCRIPTIONLisa Shufro is the storyteller's storyteller. A musician turned innovation strategist, TEDMed curator, and unapologetic truth-teller, Lisa doesn't just craft narratives—she engineers constellations out of chaos. We go way back to the early TEDMed days, where she taught doctors, scientists, and technocrats how not to bore an audience to death. In this episode, we talk about how storytelling in healthcare has been weaponized, misunderstood, misused, and still holds the power to change lives—if done right. Lisa challenges the idea that storytelling should be persuasive and instead argues it should be connective. We get into AI, the myth of objectivity, musical scars, Richard Simmons, the Vegas healthcare experiment, and the real reason your startup pitch is still trash. If you've ever been told to “just tell your story,” this episode is the permission slip to do it your way. With a bow, not a violin.RELATED LINKSLisa Shufro's WebsiteLinkedInSuper Curious ArchiveEight Principles for Storytelling in InnovationStoryCorps InterviewCoursera Instructor ProfileWhatMatters ProjectFEEDBACKLike this episode?

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, I sit down with Lynn Oberstein Feder, a passionate mother, baker, and wellness advocate whose lifelong health journey led her to profound transformation—both personally and professionally.Lynn shares her early struggles with chronic illness and the cascade of misdiagnoses and overuse of antibiotics that left her searching for answers. We talk about the toll of conventional medicine, the power of homeopathic remedies, and the critical importance of finding a provider who truly listens.Her journey to healing began with food—specifically, the gut-healing power of bone broth and a complete shift in her dietary habits. Through her experience, Lynn discovered not just better health, but a calling. Motivated by her daughter's dietary restrictions, she began developing nutrient-dense, gluten-free breads that eventually blossomed into her business, Lynn's Life Breads.We explore how food quality impacts the microbiome, why ingredient transparency matters, and how healing can happen when you return to your kitchen with purpose and intention. Lynn also opens up about the energetic component of food preparation, and how family-centered cooking can transform health outcomes—especially for children.This episode is about more than bread—it's about reclaiming your health, trusting your intuition, and turning adversity into empowerment.Key Takeaways:Chronic illness often begins with overlooked or misdiagnosed symptomsOveruse of antibiotics can have long-term health effectsHomeopathy and integrative medicine can offer powerful alternativesHealing often starts in the kitchenThe microbiome is foundational to overall wellnessUnderstanding food quality is essential for lasting healthFamily-friendly, accessible recipes can bring everyone to the tablePassion projects can become healing businessesListening to your body is the first step toward true healthBe sure to Rate and Subscribe so we can continue bring you these life-changing conversations!00:00 Introduction to Lifelong Health Struggles02:53 Lynn's Early Health Challenges06:10 The Role of Antibiotics in Health08:51 Homeopathic Remedies and Cultural Differences12:00 Sister's Battle with Breast Cancer15:06 A Lifetime of Misdiagnoses17:55 Finding the Right Healthcare Provider21:03 Turning Point: Dietary Changes23:59 The Impact of Bone Broth Diet28:10 The Journey to Healthier Bread Alternatives31:04 Creating Bread for Dietary Needs35:00 The Science Behind Bread and Health39:52 From Kitchen to Business: The Birth of Lynn's Life Breads45:57 Making Bread Accessible for EveryoneTo talk to a member of Dr. Jenn's team and learn more about working privately with RHMD, visit: https://jennsimmons.simplero.com/page/377266?kuid=327aca17-5135-44cf-9210-c0b77a56e26d&kref=vOKy0sAiorrKTo get your copy of Dr. Jenn's book, The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, visit: https://tinyurl.com/SmartWomansBreastCancerGuideTo purchase the auria breast cancer screening test go here https://auria.care/ and use the code DRJENN20 for 20% Off.Connect with Dr. Jenn:Website: https://www.realhealthmd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJennSimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmons

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- On Thursday, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released its Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) commission report investigating chronic illness—determining that the health of children nationwide has been negatively impacted by ultra-processed foods, chemical exposures, the over prescription of pharmaceutical drugs, and a lack of emphasis on exercise. From the White House, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and President Donald Trump announced the results of the report and spoke to the press. Kennedy explained: “never in American history has the federal government taken a position on public health like this”—noting that it had been an ambition of his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, before he was killed. 4:45pm- During Thursday's White House briefing, reporter Peter Doocy asked Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt if unelected Biden Administration staffers concealed the former president's decline so that they could use the levers of power for their own personal gain.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Tamara R. Jackson. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and passionate advocate for autoimmune disease awareness. As the founder of HopeFull Therapy and Consulting, LLC, Tamara provides holistic mental health care for individuals living with autoimmune diseases, emphasizing trauma-informed care, stress management, and emotional wellness. Tamara is also a filmmaker, having created the award-winning documentary, The Invitation, which shares the stories of women living with autoimmune diseases. Company Description *On Autoimmune Diseases and the Need for Awareness:Autoimmune diseases occur when the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues and organs. Conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and celiac disease affect more than 50 million people in the U.S. alone, with women disproportionately impacted. Despite their prevalence, autoimmune diseases are underrepresented in mainstream health discussions. Many individuals living with these conditions struggle to find proper care and support. Raising awareness about autoimmune diseases is crucial for early diagnosis, effective treatment, and mental health support, ultimately improving quality of life for those affected. Tamara’s Approach to Holistic Wellness:Tamara integrates mental health care with physical health for a truly holistic approach to wellness.

Company Description *On Autoimmune Diseases and the Need for Awareness:Autoimmune diseases occur when the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues and organs. Conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and celiac disease affect more than 50 million people in the U.S. alone, with women disproportionately impacted. Despite their prevalence, autoimmune diseases are underrepresented in mainstream health discussions. Many individuals living with these conditions struggle to find proper care and support. Raising awareness about autoimmune diseases is crucial for early diagnosis, effective treatment, and mental health support, ultimately improving quality of life for those affected. Tamara’s Approach to Holistic Wellness:Tamara integrates mental health care with physical health for a truly holistic approach to wellness.

Bonnie is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Washington state as well as a nationally registered and board certified art therapist.  As an undergrad in psychology and art, Bonnie knew she wanted to help people but was initially hesitant to take on the graduate school needed to become an art therapist.  After years of working with organizations helping connect people with the resources they needed, Bonnie was tired of referring clients to others for help and took the plunge on her own education.  After 3-4 years of grad school and 2 more years of post graduate training she was able to provide art therapy services to those in need, with a focus on chronic illness and cancer care.  She now works with adults providing art therapy services to help those with chronic conditions process their experience in a new way. Alongside Katie, another therapist working with patients with chronic pain (including the host of this program), Bonnie co-founded Dream Big Wellness.  This 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization was dedicated to helping people with chronic pain, chronic illness, and cancer care access art therapy and mental health care services as they navigate the healthcare system.  Today, with a team of 7 clinicians and 4 board members, they provide services to Washington state focused in the Seattle area.  Through Dream Big Wellness, they provide unique opportunities for patients to express their emotions, struggles, and symptoms using art instead of words.  This process can often help find new ways to express hard to convey truths and a new way to think about experiences through different perspectives. In this episode of the Major Pain Podcast we talk with Bonnie about the many benefits of art therapy and mental health care for those dealing with loss, grief, depression, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and anxiety.  Chronic illness can be such a large part of a person's lived experience, and art therapy can help escape that sense of isolation.  Patients can gain understanding of their own experiences and new ways to communicate them to loved ones and care providers alike. Connect with Dream Big Wellness online at https://www.dreambigwellness.org/ While Dream Big Wellness serves patients within Washington state, there are many great organizations throughout the rest of the US. Arttherapy.org, the Art Therapy Credentials Board (ATCB.org), the American Psychological Association (APA.org), and Psychology Today all provide ways to find the right therapist for you.

In a world where chronic illness is skyrocketing and people are spending thousands on supplements and labs with little relief, what if we've been focusing on the wrong thing? In this episode, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Mel Hopper Koppelman, Program Director at Synthesis Health Lab, to talk about a radically different — and incredibly effective — approach to healing. Instead of chasing symptoms or optimizing labs, Mel focuses on repairing the foundation of the nervous system and working with the first principles of health. The result? A 50%+ reduction in symptoms for many chronic illness sufferers without endless supplements or constant testing. Mel blends ancient healing wisdom with modern neuroscience and has helped thousands recover from chronic fatigue, autoimmunity, fibromyalgia, and more — especially those who felt like they had “tried everything.”

Summary: *Ron Jones discusses treatment resistant depression (TRD), which occurs when multiple classes of antidepressant medications fail to provide relief. *TRD is described as a subcategory of major depressive disorder, unrelated to therapy but linked to the ineffectiveness of psychotropic medications. *Ron shares his personal experience with TRD, highlighting the frustration and discouragement of ineffective treatments and the lengthy process of testing medications. *He suggests that emotional and mental needs, when unmet, can lead to chemical imbalances, and treating only the symptoms without addressing underlying issues is insufficient. *Jones emphasizes the importance of understanding one's identity in relation to God, suggesting that misalignment can contribute to mental health issues. *He recounts a pivotal moment in a church service where he felt the Holy Spirit's guidance, leading to a significant change in his depression. *Jones discusses the role of community, vulnerability, and addressing lies or misconceptions about oneself as crucial steps in the healing process. *He advocates for the recognition of negative emotions as truthful indicators and encourages seeking the Holy Spirit's guidance for healing. *Jones stresses the importance of relational accountability and having supportive people in one's life to provide honest feedback. *He concludes by affirming the possibility of finding hope and new life even after experiencing deep depression, through a relationship with Christ and understanding one's true identity. PODCAST INTRO: My guest today, Ron Jones, is a pastoral counselor and mental health advocate and he stopped by to share his first-hand experiences and insights into his victory over treatment-resistant depression (TRD). This discussion touches on the complexities of living with TRD, the challenges of traditional treatment methods, and the importance of having a strong identity in Christ and growing in faith throughout the healing process. What is Treatment-Resistant Depression? Treatment-resistant depression is a severe form of major depressive disorder. Ron explained that clinically, it is defined as depression that does not respond to at least three different classes of antidepressant medications. Ron also shared that this condition is not merely about resistance to therapy but is specifically linked to the ineffectiveness of psychotropic medicines. The Struggle with Traditional Treatments Ron describes the frustration of navigating the medical system, which often prioritizes treating symptoms over addressing root causes. He likens the process to taking aspirin for a headache without investigating the underlying cause. He even pointed out that this approach can be disheartening, especially when medications take weeks to show results, if at all. A Journey of Identity and Faith Throughout his journey, Ron emphasizes the importance of understanding one's true identity. He believes that much of mental illness stems from a misalignment between who we are and who we perceive ourselves to be. For Ron, this journey of self-discovery was deeply intertwined with his faith, which provided a foundation and a source of hope. This foundation withstood 13 years of struggling AND also provided room for growth and intimacy with Christ as he searched how to get out from under his depression. As shared in then opening clip….Ron was desperately clinging to hope God and yet had no hope. Steps Toward Healing Ron offered practical steps for those struggling with depression: Evaluate Your "Have To's": Examine the non-negotiables in your life that might be contributing to your stress and consider whether they are truly necessary. Identify Primary Lies: Reflect on the negative emotions you feel most often and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the first time you felt this way. Listen for the Holy Spirit: Spend time in silence, asking the Holy Spirit, "What's We most important thing I could hear right now?" and be open to whatever answer comes without editing it. Something I added, only because I have to do this: when I'm seeking God for an answer I have learned that I need to write it down. It is very commen for me to forget the details of what He spoke into my spirit. If you want to add a #4: Write down what you hear the Holy Spirit speak into your spirit and refer to it as often as you need to. Conclusion Ron's story gives us a deeper revelation about Treatment Resistant Depression because it's from his personal experience; his 13 year battle to find relief. His faith, community, and self-reflection was instrumental in overcoming his TRD. While traditional treatments may fall short mainly because they're go to is to fix things with medicine vs looking at a more holistic approach that would include a deep dive into one's identity. So Ron's journey offers hope and encouragement to those facing similar struggles, reminding us that there is always a path to discovering the benefits of knowing the truth and having a stronger identity.

In this episode of the RWS Clinician's Corner, Margaret sits down with Ashok Gupta for a deep dive into the brain's pivotal role in chronic illness—exploring how conditions like Long Covid, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, mold toxicity, and persistent inflammation can often be rooted in neural and nervous system dysregulation. They discuss the distinction between hardware (the body) and software (the brain and nervous system), the science and process of limbic retraining, and practical ways clinicians can integrate these approaches into their practices.   In this interview, we discuss:       -Brain retraining vs. meditation/stress reduction      -The concept of creating and rewiring neural pathways      -Acute vs. chronic illness: transition due to overactive protective responses      -The role of genetic predispositions (e.g., detox ability, immune differences)      -The three “R”s of brain retraining: regulate, retrain, re-engage       -Practical considerations for implementation, maintenance, and long-term success      -Strategies for integrating these techniques/the Gupta program in clinical practice The Clinician's Corner is brought to you by Restorative Wellness Solutions.  Follow us: https://www.instagram.com/restorativewellnesssolutions/   Connect with Dr. Ashok Gupta: Website: http://www.guptaprogram.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guptaprogram/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/guptaprogram/   Special Offer to RWS Listeners:  We offer all practicing clinicians free access to our brain retraining program for one year -  worth $499 - they can sign up/apply at: https://guptaprogram.com/health-professionals/ Timestamps:    00:00 Mind-Body Healing Hypothesis 09:27 "Integrating Brain-Gut Axis Approaches" 12:59 "Brain Retraining for Chronic Issues" 18:18 Chronic Illness: Break the Vicious Cycle 26:26 Reengage with Joy Program 32:23 "Commit to a Healing Journey" 36:17 Acute vs. Chronic Treatment Approaches 43:50 "Brain Retraining Effectiveness Factors" 49:53 Brain Retraining for Clinicians 52:55 Clinician Co-Branding Service Launch 56:10 Incorporating Nervous System in Health 01:06:22 "Neuroplasticity Healing Success Stories" 01:10:42 Clinician's Corner: Episode Recap Speaker bio: Ashok is an internationally renowned Speaker, Filmmaker & Health Practitioner who has dedicated his life to supporting people through chronic illness, and achieving their potential.   Ashok suffered from ME, or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, around 25 years ago when he was studying at Cambridge University.

Have you ever found yourself scrolling through social media, seeing others with your same diagnosis seemingly thriving while you struggle to get out of bed? That gnawing feeling of "why them and not me?" isn't something we talk about enough in the chronic illness community.The Spoonie Sisters dive deep into the complicated emotions of competition and comparison that silently impact many people with chronic conditions. Hosts Jen Weaver, Andi Byers, Linnea Knisley, and Angelic Ingram share their raw, honest experiences with jealousy, anger, and the overwhelming feelings that come when we measure our journeys against others.Each sister reveals their personal turning point - from Andi's sixteen years of fighting for diagnosis validation while serving in the military to Linnea's realization that social media only shows highlight reels of chronic illness, not the full 24-hour reality. These powerful stories illuminate how comparison steals our joy and delays our healing, while community support transforms our experience.For those newly diagnosed, this episode offers priceless wisdom: focus on your own journey, give yourself grace for small accomplishments, set healthy boundaries, and most importantly, let go of yesterday's struggles to embrace today's possibilities. As Linnea beautifully summarizes, "Compete in kindness instead of competing in suffering."

Pamela breaks down the four types of narcissistic parents (grandiose, covert, malignant, and communal) and explains how growing up with narcissistic caregivers creates hypervigilance that extends beyond scanning the environment to scanning the body internally, amplifying pain perception and contributing to conditions like fibromyalgia, IBS, and migraines. She discusses why many high-achieving adults don't recognize their childhood experiences as traumatic, how complex PTSD manifests in successful people who come to therapy for seemingly unrelated issues, and why addressing the underlying trauma through therapy can significantly improve both emotional well-being and physical pain symptoms. Pamela emphasizes that healing begins with repairing the relationship with oneself and recognizing that you deserve care and are worthy of good things, rather than existing solely to benefit others.MEET DESTINY: Website / Instagram / BlueSky / YouTube / TikTokMEET GUEST: Website / Instagram / FacebookPamela is the owner of Sea Change Therapy, where there is a variety of specialties in the office with accessible building and easy parking access.

Cystic Fibrosis and obesity?  Until recently this has not been a topic of conversation for the CF community. The reason for obesity in the CF community is better health and longer lives, so the concern is now a reality.  University of Michigan CF doctor, Carey Lumeng is researching the issue.  As he says in this podcast, researchers have a lot to learn about the connection between better health in CF and obesity.  We also talk about The Bonnell Foundation fellowship program. A few years ago we started the program to encourage doctors to work in the specialty field of cystic fibrosis. Dr. Lumeng is one of the doctors who oversees this program.Dr. Lumeng is the Frederick G.L. Huetwell Professor for the Cure and Prevention of Birth Defects and Professor in Pediatrics and Molecular and Integrative Physiology. Dr. Lumeng is the Division Chief of Pediatric Pulmonology at the C.S. Mott Children's Hospital and Associate Director of the Michigan MSTP Program.He grew up in Indiana and graduated from Princeton University in Molecular Biology. He received his PhD in Human Genetics and MD from the University of Michigan and completed residency training in Pediatrics in the Boston Combined Pediatrics Residency Program at Boston Children's Hospital and Boston Medical Center. He then completed fellowship training in Pediatric Pulmonology at the University of Michigan and started as faculty in 2006.  He runs a research lab focused on the health effects of obesity and the links between metabolism and lung health. The laboratory participates in both basic science and translational research projects in adult and pediatric obesity. He is funded by the NIH and the CF Foundation for new projects studying the changing causes of diabetes in people with CF.To contact the CF pediatric department (the Bonnell girls are pictured on this page): https://www.mottchildren.org/conditions-treatments/cystic-fibrosis-pediatric?pk_vid=6ff46bd2d38fe04c1739891353f5b28b Please like, subscribe, and comment on our podcasts!Please consider making a donation: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/donate/The Bonnell Foundation website:https://thebonnellfoundation.orgEmail us at: thebonnellfoundation@gmail.com Watch our podcasts on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurabonnell1136/featuredThanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comViatris: https://www.viatris.com/en

Our healthcare system treats us like it's one size fits all, yet that's not how true healing works, especially when it comes to chronic conditions. Today's guest will help us understand how to fill the gap we experience with Western medicine, including the difference between signs vs. symptoms, and empowers our individualized healthcare. On this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck welcomes Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator Andrea Nakayama to explore why chronic conditions require more than just a diagnosis and a prescription. They unpack Andrea's “three roots, many branches” model, revealing how digestion, inflammation, and genetics lie at the heart of chronic illness—and how nurturing the "soil" around them can lead to true healing. From nutrition habits to the importance of bio-individuality, this conversation empowers you to become an informed partner in your health care.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE:(00:00) Intro: Our healthcare system is one size fits all(05:08) Andrea shares her motivation for her journey into functional nutrition, and a discussion of Western medicine(07:41) Should every person receive the same treatment for the same chronic condition(11:45) How to choose a guide in the health equation(16:40) Knowing the difference between your signs vs. symptoms(21:59) Andrea walks us through the “three roots and many branches” model(28:36) The roles digestion and inflammation play in our health(33:37) Tiers to nutrition mastery. Tier one is our non-negotiables(36:40) Don't neglect your passion and purpose(38:48) Andrea's non-negotiable trifecta: Sleep, poop, and blood sugarKEY TAKEAWAYS:Chronic health conditions must be understood through a systems-based lens, not just symptom management. Every chronic issue has three core roots—genes, digestion, and inflammation. Healing begins by nurturing these “roots” and the surrounding “soil,” rather than chasing individual symptoms alone. Western medicine excels in acute care but often falls short in managing chronic conditions. Patients are frequently seen through the lens of their diagnosis rather than as whole individuals, resulting in treatments that overlook their unique health histories and personal needs.One of the most powerful tools patients can use is specific, emotion-free communication based on personal health tracking. By clearly distinguishing between signs (measurable indicators like fever or rash) and symptoms (subjective experiences like fatigue or pain) and offering detailed timelines of when and how issues arise, patients empower providers to better understand and address their unique health needs.Supporting foundational health can start with three simple, non-negotiable nutrition habits: include fat, fiber, and protein at every meal or snack to help stabilize blood sugar; eat the rainbow to boost fiber and phytonutrient intake while feeding your microbiome; and know your yes-no-maybe list to understand better how specific foods impact your body. Tracking what makes you feel great, what doesn't, and what you're unsure about builds awareness and equips you to have more productive, personalized conversations with your healthcare provider.QUOTES:         (07:41) “The first two gaps I encountered were that people are treated like their diagnosis. So, when you are in the medical system, you are your endometriosis, your fibroids, your breast cancer, your PMS. You are your symptom. The other gap was that everybody with the same symptom or diagnosis was treated the same.” - Andrea Nakayama(09:34) “A chronic condition means you're sick and you're not getting better. There's things going on for a long time, and our medical system isn't trained to address chronic conditions.” Andrea Nakayama(25:32) “The three roots of any chronic condition are always our genes, digestion and inflammation.  All three need to be tended to for the branches to express themselves more fully.” - Andrea Nakayama(36:53) “We have an episode called the Longevity Equation, and one about Blue Zones and one of the big factors there that everybody seems to overlook is community and connection.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramNutrition Nugget: Genes and EpigeneticsSalad With a Side of Fries: The Longevity EquationSalad With a Side of Fries: Blue Zones: A Blueprint for Physical and Mental HealthSalad With a Side of Fries: The Down and DirtyGUEST RESOURCES:Andrea Nakayama - WebsiteFunctional Nutrition Alliance  - WebsiteAndrea Nakayama - InstagramFunctional Nutrition Alliance - YouTubeAndrea Nakayama - PinterestAndrea Nakayama, Functional Nutritionist & EducatorAndrea Nakayama - Functional Nutrition Alliance | LinkedInGUEST BIOGRAPHY:Andrea is a Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator who has led thousands of clients and teaches even more coaches and clinicians worldwide. Together, they are revolutionizing the ownership of their own and their clients' health. As the 15-Minute Matrix Podcast host and the founder and former CEO of Functional Nutrition Alliance, Andrea draws on systems biology, mental models, root-cause methodology, and therapeutic partnerships to offer long-awaited solutions for the rapidly growing chronic illness epidemic.After losing her young husband to a brain tumor in 2002, she discovered a passion for using food as personalized medicine and is now regularly consulted as the nutrition expert for the toughest clinical cases in the practices of many world-renowned doctors. She trains nearly four thousand practitioners each year in her methodologies so that they can, too, become the last stop for their clients and patients and a trusted referral partner for doctors in their area.

In this conversation, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Jennifer Brower as she shares her personal journey through chronic illness, including Lyme disease, mold toxicity, and the aftermath of COVID-19. She discusses the challenges of misdiagnosis and the emotional toll of navigating the healthcare system. Jennifer emphasizes the importance of finding the right healing modalities, building a supportive community, and advocating for oneself in medical settings. She also highlights the significance of emotional health and the need for personalized approaches to wellness. We dive deep into:

Episode DescriptionAudra Moran is the President and CEO of OCRA—Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance—which means she spends her days doing things most of us wouldn't survive five minutes doing: merging nonprofits, leading national patient support programs, funding lifesaving research, surviving pharma grant hell, and trying to reach every woman in America who might be slipping through the cracks. We talk about her time working with the Helen Keller National Center (yes, she knows finger spelling), her accidental journey into cancer nonprofit leadership, the weirdness of dermoid cysts, the ridiculousness of writing grants, and the absolute hellscape of diagnosis delay. Oh, and the fallopian tubes. You'll never look at them the same way again.This episode is funny, raw, deeply personal, and loaded with Gen X movie references and random facts about Paul Rudd, Terminator 2, and flipbook apps at 3am. Audra drops wisdom, humility, and a few hot takes on AI, advocacy, and what it really means to lead when the boulder keeps rolling downhill.RELATED LINKSAudra Moran on LinkedInOvarian Cancer Research Alliance (OCRA)Audra's profile on OCRACURE Today interview: Leading the FightOCRA + AI & Data: Overlooked PodcastFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Getting a diagnosis should feel like the beginning of healing—but for many living with chronic illness, it's just the start of a much longer, messier road.In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Angel Parker from the Netflix documentary Diagnosis, for a raw, honest conversation about what it really means to live with chronic pain and illness. From the emotional exhaustion of being dismissed by doctors to the quiet heartbreak of not being believed by the people closest to you, this conversation doesn't shy away from the hard stuff. They talk about what happens when your body betrays you, when your mind starts to spiral, and when your world gets smaller because of pain.But this isn't just about struggle—it's about survival. About building your own village when the system fails you. About learning to advocate for yourself, even when your voice shakes. About navigating the anxiety, the food triggers, the family dynamics, and the invisible weight you carry every single day.Lyndsay and Angel also touch on the global gaps in healthcare, the mental toll of feeling alone in your illness, and the little things—like community, connection, and shared experience—that make all the difference. It's not tied up in a bow. It's real. And it just might make you feel a little more seen.Find Angel Parker Online Here:Instagram: @angelbangelllInstagram: @evolvetherapylvFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Healing(02:35) The Journey to Diagnosis(10:18) Living with Chronic Pain: Personal Stories(16:45) Mental Health and Chronic Illness(20:32) Navigating Healthcare Systems(26:49) Understanding CPT2 and Dietary Needs(31:22) The Power of Community and Support(37:23) Final Thoughts and Encouragement

Christine Verini is a pharmacist by training, a nonprofit CEO by title, and an unapologetic empath by design. She now leads CancerCare, one of the oldest, least-known, and most impactful organizations in the country that actually helps real cancer patients deal with the practical garbage no one likes to talk about—like paying rent, affording a ride to chemo, or feeding their kids.We talk about her career pivot from industry to impact, what it's like trying to scale empathy without losing your soul, and the daily gut-punch of knowing there are millions of people who still have no idea that CancerCare exists. Christine gets real about leadership, advocacy, burnout, and why being “pan-cancer” matters more than ever in a world obsessed with biomarkers, buckets, and branding.She also dishes on what AI gets dead wrong, what patients actually want when they call for help, and why “ghosting” someone with cancer is still a thing. Buckle up. This one's packed with heart, brains, and a little righteous rage.RELATED LINKSCancerCareChristine Verini on LinkedInChristine's CEO Announcement – PR NewswireCancer Health 25: Christine VeriniChristine on HealthyWomenBIO Convention Speaker ProfileFEEDBACKLike this episode?

What if mitochondria weren't just energy engines — but conscious beings guiding your survival and evolution? In this episode, Dave Asprey sits down with Zach Bush, MD, to uncover a radical new science of cellular intelligence. Together, they reveal how your mitochondria, microbiome, and genetic memory do far more than support survival—they actively shape consciousness, drive healing, and accelerate human evolution. You'll discover why chronic disease, fatigue, brain fog, and emotional trauma often trace back to lost cellular communication—and how restoring that network can unlock radical resilience, deeper energy, and true longevity. Through the lens of soil health, vibrational biology, light frequencies, and ancient microbial wisdom, Zach Bush shows why the future of biohacking demands reconnection to the deeper intelligence already alive inside you. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • How mitochondria act as conscious messengers—not just energy factories—and why that changes everything about health and aging • Why rebuilding gut microbiome intelligence strengthens immune function, brain health, and emotional resilience • How disrupted cellular communication fuels chronic inflammation, autoimmune disease, and premature aging • How emotional trauma imprints onto genetic expression and triggers mitochondrial collapse • Why viruses and bacteria serve as evolutionary partners—not enemies—and how they upgrade your biology • How “cellular safety” activates healing, regeneration, and peak human performance • How carbon cycles, soil health, and light frequencies repair DNA and extend human lifespan • Simple daily practices that rebuild cellular coherence, boost energy, and reconnect you to your innate intelligence This conversation will rewire how you think about health, disease, and human potential—giving you the tools to upgrade your biology at the deepest level. **Check out Zach's exclusive offer for The Human Upgrade listeners at https://intelligenceofnature.com/ and use code ‘DAVE10” for a discount!** SPONSORS - ARMRA | Go to https://tryarmra.com/ and use the code DAVE to get 15% off your first order. - Apollo Neuro | To get an Apollo wearable, go to https://apolloneuro.com/Dave and save 15%.
