In this episode, Bayleigh opens up about the reality behind picture-perfect friend groups often portrayed in the media. From "Sex and the City" brunch squads to tight-knit trios that fall apart, she shares the real struggles of navigating friendship, loneliness, and growing pains—both in the past and now. She dives into her own experiences: messy fallouts, being left out, and the feeling that maybe she was the problem. But through that, Bayleigh learned how to enjoy solitude, build meaningful one-on-one connections, and appreciate the “mod podge” of people who truly show up. If you've ever felt like the only one without a girl gang or are trying to make peace with being in your own lane—this one's for you.

For clinicians in functional medicine, these cases are all too familiar. While antibiotics, herbal medicines, biofilm disruptors, and immune support are key in managing Lyme disease, restoring quality sleep is just as essential. Without sleep, healing stalls. It is during deep sleep that glymphatic clearance occurs, immune cells regenerate, and the nervous system resets. Herbal solutions can help patients with Lyme-related insomnia achieve deep, restorative sleep. This article explores how Lyme disrupts sleep physiology and how Moss Nutrition's new Sleep Select Herbal—a blend of saffron, valerian, American skullcap, passionflower, and Ziziphus spinosa—can help restore calm and rest. These botanicals are supported by clinical trials and tailored to address the unique neuroimmune dysregulation seen in Lyme disease. The Limits of Conventional Sleep Aids Many Lyme patients are prescribed benzodiazepines, sedative antihistamines, or off-label antidepressants for insomnia. While these may offer temporary relief, they rarely address root causes. Over time, they can disrupt sleep architecture, desensitize GABA receptors, and create dependency or withdrawal problems. By contrast, botanical nervines and adaptogens support endogenous pathways—enhancing GABA, modulating cortisol, and recalibrating circadian rhythm—without suppressing natural neurotransmission. This is the core strategy behind Sleep Select Herbal. How Lyme Disease Disrupts Sleep and Creates Nervous Tension 1. Neuroinflammation and Cytokine Overload Borrelia and its coinfections invade the central nervous system, triggering microglial activation and the release of inflammatory cytokines like IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IL-1β. These cytokines interfere with the function of sleep-promoting areas in the brain, such as the hypothalamus and suprachiasmatic nucleus. Impact: Reduced sleep drive, disrupted circadian signaling, and altered neurotransmitter synthesis. 2. Cortisol Dysregulation and HPA Axis Dysfunction Patients with chronic Lyme disease often exhibit abnormal cortisol rhythms—typically low in the morning and elevated at night. This flipped curve perpetuates insomnia, often manifesting as nighttime awakenings or difficulty falling asleep. Impact: Low melatonin, nighttime anxiety, impaired parasympathetic tone, and reduced vagal tone. 3. GABA and Serotonin Imbalance Lyme disease inflammation can disrupt the synthesis and receptor sensitivity of GABA and serotonin—the primary calming neurotransmitters. This leads to hyperarousal, panic, and light, unrefreshing sleep. Impact: Reduced GABAergic tone increases muscle tension, rumination, and sympathetic dominance. Five Botanicals to Restore Sleep in Lyme Disease Each herb in Sleep Select Herbal addresses a distinct but overlapping mechanism contributing to insomnia and nervous tension. Clinically formulated Sleep Select Herbal supports deep, restorative sleep for patients with Lyme-related insomnia and nervous tension. 1. Saffron (Crocus sativus) – The Circadian Calibrator In a 2021 double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 120 adults with poor sleep, saffron (affron®) at 14–28 mg improved sleep quality, reduced insomnia severity, and increased evening melatonin levels without next-day sedation (Lopresti et al., 2021). Mechanisms: Increases nighttime melatonin Reduces evening cortisol Improves sleep onset and continuity Patient Profile: Individuals with delayed sleep phase, high evening cortisol, or mood disturbances upon waking. 2. Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) – The GABAergic Grounder Valerian root enhances GABA signaling by inhibiting its breakdown and modulating GABA-A receptors. A clinical trial showed valerian significantly improved total sleep time, reduced latency, and enhanced sleep efficiency (Shekhar et al., 2024). Mechanisms: Binds GABA-A receptors without habituation Reduces anxiety and muscle tension

In this episode, we're shifting gears from lighthearted storytelling to something much deeper and more personal. I'm opening up about what it's really like to live with the loss of a parent—something I've talked about before, but a topic that deserves continued attention. Grief isn't a one-time experience, and every time I revisit it, new layers come to the surface. We'll talk about the awkwardness that comes with navigating conversations around death, the unexpected jealousy that can arise, the slow and non-linear process of grieving, and how many more holidays, moments, and days are affected than people might think. This is just the beginning of an ongoing conversation, and I hope it brings comfort, connection, or even just a sense of being seen to those who need it.
In this unforgettable episode, bestselling author Rosemary Thornton shares the astonishing true story of her near-death experience (NDE) after bleeding to death during a medical procedure. Her heart stopped for over 10 minutes — and during that time, Rosemary left her body and crossed over into a heavenly realm filled with peace, light, and the loving presence of angels. But this was no ordinary NDE. Still grieving the tragic suicide of her husband and battling a devastating cancer diagnosis, Rosemary entered the other side with a shattered soul. What happened next was beyond miraculous: she was told that if she chose to return to Earth, her emotional, spiritual, and physical wounds would be fully healed. And they were. In this moving and deeply spiritual interview, Rosemary shares:

In this episode, I break down one of the biggest myths in real estate investing — that bigger is always better. After 18 years in the game, I've learned that chasing more leads, building bigger teams, and spending more on marketing doesn't automatically mean more profit. In fact, it can crush your margins. I share how focusing on lead conversion, leveraging tech like LeadDetector.io, Rocketly CRM, and AI-driven data, and running a lean, efficient operation can make you way more money with fewer people. My goal is to show you that you don't need a massive team or huge overhead to hit $100K months — you just need the right systems, the right mindset, and the discipline to focus on profit over vanity metrics. -- Resources & Tools Mentioned: ✅ LeadDetector.io — Capture 20-30% more leads that never opt in: https://leaddetector.io✅ Rocket Sites — Done-for-you investor websites that convert: https://rocketsites.com✅ Rocketly CRM — AI-driven CRM with lead nurturing automation: https://rocketlycrm.com✅ REI Lead Machine — Pull high-quality, AI-enhanced seller lists: https://reileadmachine.com -- Thank you to our partners for supporting today's episode!

We all experience distressing or intrusive thoughts at some point in our lives but for around two to three per cent of us these can be incredibly difficult to ignore and can begin to have a significant debilitating effect on our lives. Clinically this is known as obsessive compulsive disorder or OCD – a condition that many of us will have heard of but few understand. In this episode, we speak to Dr Marjan Biria, a psychologist and neuroscientist based at University College London. She tells us about some common obsessions and compulsions experienced by those with OCD, why thoughts are not actions and why people who say they are ‘a little bit OCD' because they like cleanliness or order are significantly misunderstanding the condition.

Inflammation isn't just about redness and irritation—it's a driving force behind premature aging. In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Ekta sits down with Joshua Britton, CEO of Deinde, to explore how inflammation accelerates skin aging and how cutting-edge biotechnology is changing the skincare game.Britton, a scientist-turned-beauty entrepreneur, founded Deinde under the biotech powerhouse Debut, with a mission to bring lab-driven skincare to consumers. With a team of 80 scientists and a platform screening 50 billion molecules, Deinde is developing targeted solutions for inflammatory aging, a process where chronic, low-grade inflammation breaks down collagen, deepens wrinkles and worsens conditions like rosacea, eczema, and acne.One of their breakthrough discoveries? Naringenin—a potent anti-inflammatory compound that outperforms niacinamide in reducing inflammatory markers by 15 times. Clinically tested at a precise 0.45% concentration, it significantly improves skin elasticity, reduces deep wrinkles, and restores baseline skin health—without the irritation caused by higher concentrations of traditional actives.Britton also debunks skincare marketing myths, calling for science over hype. With trends like exosomes dominating the conversation, he emphasizes the importance of clinical validation over buzzwords, urging consumers to choose evidence-backed formulations over marketing gimmicks.This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to future-proof their skincare routine with biotech-driven solutions that work at the molecular level. Tune in to discover how Deinde is redefining the way we fight aging—starting with inflammation.To learn more about Deinde, visit their website and social media.

N Engl J Med 2013;369:1115-23Background: The COURAGE trial was published in 2007. It compared up-front PCI to medical therapy alone in patients with stable CAD. Preventive PCI did not reduce the chance of dying or having a heart attack over a median follow up time of 5 years. The results rocked the cardiology world because for years prior to the publication of COURAGE, the standard of care called for revascularization of obstructive coronary stenosis. Despite what we would consider minor criticisms of COURAGE, the results have held over time as a preventive PCI strategy has failed repeatedly to reduce death or MI compared to medicine alone in subsequent large trials (BARI 2D, FAME 2, ISCHEMIA and ISCHEMIA-CKD) involving patients with stable CAD. But what about patients with acute coronary syndromes who have, a clearly defined “culprit” lesion and stable coronary stenosis of a non-infarct vessel? On the surface, the answer might seem simple - treat the “culprit” lesion with PCI and leave the stable disease alone. Continue optimal medical treatment of stable CAD indefinitely with consideration of revascularization only if new symptoms arise. But what if a stable coronary stenosis behaves differently in a patient with an acute coronary syndrome than in patients without it? Are these patients predisposed or particularly susceptible to acute plaque rupture and thrombogenesis to such an extent that they would benefit from a preventive revascularization strategy? The Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction (PRAMI) trial sought to test the hypothesis that immediate preventive PCI of non-culprit vessels plus the culprit vessel compared to culprit vessel only PCI would improve outcomes in patients with a STEMI and coronary stenosis of a non-infarct related artery.Cardiology Trial's Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support our work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Patients: From 2008 through 2013, patients were enrolled from 5 coronary care centers in the United Kingdom. Patients could be any age with acute STEMI and multivessel CAD detected at the time of emergency PCI. The trial was limited to patients with STEMI because ST-segment elevation, unlike ST-segment depression, localizes the area of ischemia in the myocardium and an “infarct-artery” is usually easy to distinguish. Clinically stable patients were considered for eligibility after undergoing PCI of the infarct artery while they were in the catheterization lab. They were eligible if successful PCI of infarct artery was performed and there was stenosis of 50% or more in one or more non-infarct arteries. Exclusion criteria included cardiogenic shock, previous CABG, had left main or significant disease in the ostia of both the LAD and circumflex vessels, or if the only non-infarct stenosis was a chronic total occlusion.Baseline characteristics: The trial screened 2,428 patients and randomized 465 patients (19%) with 234 to preventive PCI and 231 to no preventive-PCI. The majority of patients were excluded for single vessel disease (1122/1922 [58%]). The average age of patients was 62 years and more than 75% were men. Close to 50% were current smokers. The infarct artery was anterior in 35%, inferior in 60% and lateral in 5%. Approximately 65% of patients had 2 vessel disease and 35% had 3 vessel disease.Procedures: After completion of PCI in the infarct artery, eligible patients were randomized and those assigned to the preventive-PCI group underwent the procedure immediately in all non-infarct arteries with a coronary stenosis >50%. PCI was discouraged at a later date (sometimes this strategy is referred to as “staged PCI”) in the no preventive-PCI group unless it was symptom driven. Any patient in the trial with subsequent symptoms of angina that were not controlled with medicine was required to undergo objective assessment of ischemia to secure a diagnosis of refractory angina. Follow-up information was collected at 6 weeks and then yearly thereafter.Endpoints: The primary endpoint was a composite of death from cardiac causes, nonfatal MI, or refractory angina. Secondary outcomes included the individual components of the composite endpoint along with noncardiac death and repeat revascularization. Myocardial infarction was defined as symptoms of cardiac ischemia and a troponin level >99% URL. However, within 14 days after randomization, MI diagnosis also required ECG evidence of new STE or left bundle branch block and angiographic evidence of coronary artery occlusion (essentially this makes it so only in-stent thrombosis or spontaneous STEMI count and other causes of peri-procedural MI do not - this would bias the trial in favor of the preventive-PCI group).Refractory angina was defined as angina despite medical therapy and objective evidence of myocardial ischemia (i.e., ischemia on ECG during spontaneous episode of pain or abnormal results on functional testing).It was determined that 600 patients would be needed to achieve 80% power to detect a 30% relative reduction in the preventive-PCI group, at a 5% level of significance, assuming an annual rate of the primary outcome of 20% in the control group. Stopping criteria were prespecified if the results from the trial showed a primary outcome difference at the 0.001 level of significance. Results: The trial was stopped early based on a significant difference (P50%, preventive PCI significantly reduced a primary composite outcome of cardiac death, nonfatal MI and refractory angina in the PRAMI trial with an estimated NNT of 7 patients over 2 years. Individual components of the primary endpoint that were significantly reduced included nonfatal MI and refractory angina by similarly large margins. These results may seem impressive at first glance but we urge extreme caution in their interpretation. First, this is a relatively small trial with a historically large effect size, especially when considering hard endpoints like cardiac death and nonfatal MI were included. Such results are often later found to be falsely positive when larger, confirmatory studies are conducted. Second, the trial was stopped early and early stopping is prone to yield false positive and/or exaggerated results. Third, inclusion of refractory angina in the primary endpoint, an endpoint susceptible to bias in an unblinded study (see earlier discussion of “faith healing” and “subtraction anxiety” in FAME 2; consideration also must be given to nocebo effects in patients who know they have “untreated blockages”), clouds the main findings by inflating the effect size and making the trial susceptible to large differences in underpowered endpoints before sufficient data can be accumulated on hard outcomes. For example, if the trial had sought to detect a conservative difference of 30% in a primary composite endpoint that only included cardiac death or nonfatal MI, based on an event rate of 12% in the control group (the actual event rate in the trial), over 2,200 patients would be needed for 80% power at a 5% level of significance. The estimated number of actual events would be around 230. However, only 47 events occurred in PRAMI making the results highly susceptible to noise.While results of PRAMI suggest a beneficial role for preventive-PCI in patients with STEMI, more evidence is needed to confirm the results.Thanks for reading Cardiology Trial's Substack!

Recorded at Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine (EBPOM) in London last year this presentation is part of a series of talks given under the session heading: “Implementation – what works and what doesn't?”. This piece is part one of four, with two more presentations to come and then a fascinating panel discussion to conclude. This first session focuses on the implementation of clinical trials, covering research methodologies, clinical implementations, and their challenges, and looking at the lengthy process of translating medical discoveries into clinical practice, emphasizing the ethical obligation to disseminate trial results effectively. The under-representation of certain demographics in trials, the gap between research findings and clinical practice, and the need for better communication strategies is stressed alongside solutions, including training for researchers, involving key stakeholders from the start, and the role of funders in supporting effective dissemination and implementation of research findings.

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause. If you think today's episode is a "diet" episode, think again! We are talking about food for nourishment aside from the macros and micros of food. Barb Sheldon is a food literacy instructor, social activist, podcast host and author who has a profound belief in the therapeutic power of food. This is a conversation about what nourishes us. Barb teaches us about "radical hospitality" and the act of sharing our wisdom with others as what can give us purpose at menopause. Our experience, our wisdom becomes deeply useful for others and what better way to share than around a pot of homemade soup? This conversation was eye-opening and deeply nourishing for me, and I hope you find it the same. You can find out more about Barb Sheldon and her work here and on Instagram here.

She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause. February is Women's Heart Health month and for today's episode, I am joined by the extraordinary Dr. Jayne Morgan, Cardiologist and VP of Medical Affairs at Hello Heart. Heart health for women is a hot topic and Dr. Morgan and I speak about the importance of women being aware of their heart heath throughout life but particularily at menopause. Listen in and learn how your pregnancy experience can predict future heart concerns. Dr. Morgan also tells us exactly how to ask our doctor for necessary tests to keep our heart health in mind. Estrogen affects cardiovascular health and how perimenopause is a time of great change for our heart. We discuss how a heart attack presents for women (hint: it's different from the classic presentation that men can experience!) and what symptoms you shouldn't ignore. These are common symptoms that might make you wonder if you, too, should ask your doctor to check out your heart! You can find more from Dr Jayne Morgan and see her Stairwell Chronicles on IG here. Go to helloheart.com for more info on Dr Morgan and her work. Get your ECG, ladies! ❤️ Thank you to our sponsors for this episode:

In today's episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Alec Watson, MD, a thoracic oncology fellow in the School of Medicine in the Division of Medical Oncology at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora. In our exclusive interview, Dr Watson discussed the rationale for and key findings from a retrospective analysis examining the ways that oncogene overlap could identify clinically relevant thresholds for MET, KRAS, and HER2 gene copy number gain in non–small cell lung cancer; next steps for this research; and the future implications of these findings.

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine. She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause. When Susie Stonefield emailed us and said "I make people cry with art supplies" we knew we had to follow up and ask questions! Susie is a Creativity and Grief Coach, and teaches us how to art journal; using art supplies to help us express the feelings we cannot necessarily put words to. Something she calls "the wordless heart". Susie gives us permission to kindness, to compassion and to treat ourselves gently. Grief is an obstruction, Susie teaches us. And it prevents us from finding balance, and experiencing the lovely parts of life often. We shared our own experiences in this conversation - grief, midlife, holding on tight to keep the wheels on the bus, like so many of you. I know you will find yourself and sweet relief in this beautiful conversation, just like I did. Susie created a gorgeous workbook for us, I loved playing with the exercises within.
