In this episode of the Root Cause Medicine Podcast, Dr. Kate Kresge sits down with functional immunology expert and educator Dr. Samuel Yanuck to explore one of the most overlooked systems in chronic illness: the immune system. With clarity and compassion, Dr. Yanuck breaks down how immune dysregulation can contribute to complex conditions like depression, neuropathy, migraines, chronic fatigue, and even cardiovascular disease. From brain inflammation and mast cell activation to Epstein-Barr virus and mold, Dr. Yanuck offers a new way of thinking about biology—where inflammation isn't just a symptom, but a system that can be measured, understood, and treated. You'll here them discuss: - Why immunology could be at the root of nearly every chronic illness - The immune pathways that connect depression, anxiety, brain fog, and fatigue - What PANS, PANDAS, and autoimmune encephalitis really are—and why they're often misdiagnosed - How gut, brain, and immune health form a feedback loop - The labs you should run if you suspect chronic immune dysfunction - A framework for evaluating chronic viral infections like EBV and CMV - Natural immune modulators: Chinese skullcap, astragalus, quercetin, sulforaphane, and more - Why personalized immune workups—not protocols—create results Guest Bio: Dr. Samuel Yanuck is a functional medicine clinician and expert educator in functional immunology. He is the creator of Cogence Immunology, a comprehensive online training program that has educated over 9,000 clinicians in over 60 countries. His approach blends immunology, clinical experience, and systems thinking to help providers and patients uncover the true drivers of chronic illness. Dr. Yanuck is also the co-founder of the Yanuck Center for Life and Health in North Carolina, where he sees patients and helps clinicians find root-cause solutions to immune dysfunction through mentorship and collaboration. His work is helping reshape how the next generation of practitioners understand inflammation, autoimmunity, and healing.

Hand aufs Herz – CMV, sagt Ihnen das was? Zytomegalievirus, das bedeutet CMV, ist die häufigste virus-bedingte Ursache bei Schädigungen von Neugeborenen. Trotz dieser schwerwiegenden Folgen ist die CMV relativ unbekannt, nicht nur bei werdenden Müttern, auch viele Ärzte haben diese Erkrankung nicht auf dem Schirm. Daher haben wir uns für diese Episode einen erfahrenen Pädiater eingeladen, Prof. Volker Strenger, er ist an der Klinischen Abteilung für allgemeine Pädiatrie der Med Uni Graz tätig. Mit ihm sprechen über Epidemiologie, Diagnostik und Therapie dieser Infektionserkrankung, und wir beschäftigen uns mit Letermovir, einem rein CMV-spezifischen Virostatikum, das vor Kurzem von der europäischen Arzneimittelbehörde EMA zugelassen wurde. Strenger dazu: „Letermovir ist ein rein CMV-spezifisches Virostatikum, das seit einigen Jahren für Erwachsene zugelassen ist in einem sehr klaren Indikationsrahmen, nämlich zur Prophylaxe einer CMV-Reaktivierung oder Infektion im Stammzell- oder Knochenmarkstransplantations-Setting, einerseits, und in weiterer Folge auch im Nierentransplantations-Setting. Es ist erfreulich, dass das es jetzt für Kinder zugelassen ist." Zugelassen ist diese neue Prophylaxe für ein klar umrissenes Patientenkollektiv. „Ich rechne pro Jahr mit 50 bis 100 kleinen Patientinnen und Patienten, die davon profitieren können."

Dive into the fascinating world of cellular aging with Sebastian Conti, Sales Director at TA Sciences, as we explore the science behind telomeres—those tiny protective caps at the ends of your chromosomes that may hold the key to biological aging.Sebastian breaks down complex concepts into accessible insights, explaining how telomeres naturally shorten as we age and how this process connects directly to age-related diseases like cardiovascular issues, Alzheimer's, and cancer. What separates TA-65 from other supplements is its impressive scientific backing—twelve published clinical studies, including five double-blind trials—demonstrating its ability to activate telomerase and potentially lengthen telomeres.The conversation takes us through the practical benefits users experience: improved cognitive function, enhanced recovery after exercise, stronger immune response, and sometimes even improved eyesight in cases of early macular degeneration. Sebastian shares his personal journey with the supplement, noting improved mental clarity and faster physical recovery after about seven months of consistent use.We also explore who might benefit most from telomerase activation, from high-performance athletes looking for better recovery to adults over 50 experiencing the more noticeable effects of aging. The supplement's ability to reduce senescent cell load—particularly in CMV-positive individuals—and replenish naive T-cell reserves makes it a compelling option for immune health as well.Whether you're already deep into your wellness journey or just beginning to explore anti-aging interventions, this episode offers valuable insights into addressing aging at its most fundamental level—your DNA.

Contributor: Travis Barlock, MD Educational Pearls: Key clinical considerations when managing heart transplant patients due to their unique pathophysiology 1. Arrhythmias A transplanted heart is denervated, meaning it lacks autonomic nervous system innervation The lack of vagal tone results in an increased resting heart rate Adenosine can be used since it primarily slows conduction through the AV node  Atropine is ineffective in treating transplant bradyarrhythmia because its mechanism is to inhibit the vagus nerve - but the heart lacks vagal tone Allograft rejection can also cause tachycardia Consult transplant surgery - treatment is usually 500 mg methylprednisolone 2. Rejection Transplant patients are administered immunosuppressants Clinical presentation of acute rejection looks similar to heart failure with increased BNP, increased troponin, and pulmonary edema  Cardiac allograft vasculopathy is a form of chronic rejection Patients will not report chest pain due to denervated heart Symptoms are usually weakness and fatigue 3. High risk of infection due to immunosuppression Increased risk of infections which includes CMV, legionella, tuberculosis, etc Immunosuppressants have side effects such as acute kidney injury or pancytopenia 4. Radiographic Cardiomegaly A study found that radiographic cardiomegaly does not connote heart failure They hypothesized it is instead the result of a mismatch between the size of the transplanted heart and the space in the thoracic cavity  References Murphy JD, Mergo PJ, Taylor HM, Fields R, Mills RM Jr. Significance of radiographic cardiomegaly in orthotopic heart transplant recipients.

What happens when society builds systems that leave people with disabilities isolated, unemployed, and without essential services? Nick Comstock has lived that reality—and he's speaking up about it.Nick joins us to share his journey living with cytomegalovirus (CMV), a condition that's left him wheelchair-dependent with spasticity and dystonia. With remarkable candor and humor, he opens up about spending "a lot of time in my bedroom alone with a TV, phone and computer" after high school when services disappeared. This "services cliff" affects countless young adults with disabilities who suddenly lose their support systems and social connections.Only 22% of people with disabilities were employed in 2023, despite this being the highest rate since data collection began in 2008. Nick himself has been declared "unemployable" by authorities in multiple counties solely because of his disability. Yet he's defied these limitations by creating "Nick Speaks," a successful podcast dedicated to disability issues that's approaching 30 episodes.Transportation emerges as a critical barrier throughout our conversation. As Nick explains, needing to schedule rides 30 days in advance versus 30 minutes makes spontaneous outings, job opportunities, and dating nearly impossible. He challenges listeners to reconsider how we structure inclusion, noting that special programs sometimes unintentionally create bubbles rather than bridges.Nick leaves us with a powerful message for organizations and employers: people with disabilities "love passionately" and "want to work harder and contribute to their community." His story reminds us that beyond policies and programs are human beings seeking the same connections and purpose we all desire.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Andrea: Hi Dr. Cabral - I'd love your input on what steps when trying to conceive to have the healthiest pregnancy possible. I love your book, and I'm doing many of the practices in it (epsom baths, IR sauna, taking the greens and daily nutritional support, exercise, etc.). I have done some nutrient testing through a nutritionist, so I'm taking extra vitamin D, B12, and iron. Also, I'm doing the 7-day detox now so that I can do it before trying next month. What is your advice on what I should (and shouldn't) be doing pre-pregnancy, and if there are any other tests you'd recommend (like testing for the Congenital cytomegalovirus infection/CMV)?Thank you for consistently presenting content in a rational, unbiased, and non-fear-mongering way!                                                                                                                                                           Cara: My family does not eat a healthy diet, I know this, but its so hard to change. It's incredibly overwhelming. I have 2 young children and I would like to provide better meals for them but I just get overwhelmed with all the messaging and what to feed them and what not to feed them that I just sink back to what I know and what I know they will eat. Help! where do I start to make changes                                                                                                                                                  Sally: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you so much for your  willingness to help others! I am writing to you in regard of my dad. He is a 60 year old mechanic who has never really taken care of his body. About 4 years ago he was diagnosed with cancer and since has had treatment to essentially kill it. He has been cancer free since. Over the past few months he has been feeling chest tightness and arm pain, which landed him in the ER to get 3 stents put in his main left artery. He is healing and starting to slowly get back to work. I think this was a scare for him and he is going to start taking his eating habits seriously. Anyways, he has been saying for years now that drinking water gives him heartburn. I assume this is all connected back to his diet but wanted to get your thoughts if there is something specific we can look into further. We just ordered him the inflammation test from your site as a starting place. Thanks as always. Sally.                                Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I am a 63 year old female, eat a Mediterranean diet, do the big 5 annually, sauna daily and cold plunge 2-3 times per week. My exercise regimen includes, resistance, HITT and SIT 4-5 times per week. My question is, am I trying too hard? I often feel a wired when I should be tired and alternately run down for no apparent reason. My HRV can be as high as 65 when I'm detoxing and 20-30 when I'm living my normal life. I take a multitude of supplements, based on my IHP's recommendations (ie; all of the basics plus adrenal soothe, adrenal support, estrogen support, DHEA) , as well as several of the supplements you recommend, (ie; Berberine, functional mushrooms, metavolve.). Plus, I take 5 CBD gummies 3 x per day to control anxiety and NAC for mthfr gene. Please advise                                    Carrie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have heard there's some controversy around nano hydroxyapatite, specifically that it can lead to liver and kidney issues, is carcinogenic, etc. This is a great ingredient to build teeth and reduce cavities, but I don't want to give it to my child if it's toxic and builds up in the system. What has your research on this ingredient shown, and are there any safe brands such as Primal Life Organics. If not, what is an alternative.

The most common congenital viral infection in children is cytomegalovirus infection (CMV). Oftentimes the mother will experience little to no symptoms, but the virus can significantly affect the newborn, with outcomes ranging from no symptoms to severe systemic and intercranial complications. What if we could prevent this infection all together with a vaccine? A candidate MRNA vaccine against CMV has elicited promising immune responses to date and is on a pathway towards FDA approval. To learn more about this treatment, we are joined by one of the nation's leading experts in vaccine development for the prevention of congenital viral disease. Sallie Permar, MD, is the Nancy C. Paduano Professor and Chair of Pediatrics at Weill Cornell Medicine. She serves as pediatrician-in-chief at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. She is also a professor of immunology and microbial pathogenesis at the Weill Graduate School of Medical Sciences. Some highlights from this episode include:  The scale of impact of congenital CMV in children  Understanding how the virus originates with the mother and affects the baby  Where the CMV vaccine stands in the vaccine development process   Strategies for educating the public and primary care providers on this new treatment    For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

In 2011, Congress passed a resolution naming June "National CMV Awareness Month," to raise awareness about the most common congenital infection in the US, affecting 1 of 200 live births. It is the leading VIRAL cause of IUFD & miscarriage & the leading cause of neonatal hearing loss, second only to genetic causes. Furthermore, cCMV is more common than many other neonatal conditions, such as spina bifida and fetal alcohol syndrome. Neonates affected by the virus can experience a wide array of symptoms, from none to severe neurodevelopmental disability, & even death. However, public and healthcare provider awareness remains low. In this episode, which is part 1, we will cover the presentation, transmission, and work up of CMV in pregnancy.

The hosts dive into the nuanced recommendations, which state that while avoiding breastfeeding is still the only way to completely eliminate HIV transmission risk, breastfeeding can be supported in certain cases where the parent has a strong desire after comprehensive counseling and meeting strict criteria like sustained viral suppression.Next, they examine a study linking congenital CMV infection with an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder diagnoses, highlighting the importance of screening for this common congenital infection.A randomized trial comparing video laryngoscopy to direct laryngoscopy for urgent neonatal intubation is also discussed. While video laryngoscopy resulted in higher first-attempt success rates, the hosts note some adverse events to consider as this technology becomes more widespread for these critical procedures.The effectiveness of NICU music therapy on neurodevelopmental outcomes is also covered, with a study finding no significant language benefits at 24 months. The hosts question the impact and necessity of these programs.Practical coding tips for NICU consultations from a recent paper are shared, with an emphasis on the financial impact of proper billing.Lastly, the increasing frequency of heat waves and their association with preterm and early-term births is explored, underscoring the environmental factors that influence neonatal health.With insightful analysis and engaging discussion, Ben & Daphna provide a fantastic overview of some of the most noteworthy recent publications in neonatology.

Writer Megan Nix joins Zibby to discuss REMEDIES FOR SORROW, a compulsively readable memoir and urgent call to action about a hidden risk to pregnant women: the congenital cytomegalovirus. Megan shares the story of discovering her daughter's microcephaly at thirty-six weeks pregnant, and the subsequent challenges of raising a baby with CMV (against the dramatic landscape of Sitka, Alaska, where her husband is a salmon fisherman). The conversation delves into her advocacy work, the lack of awareness about CMV, and the importance of universal screening for newborns and support for affected families. She also discusses the writing process and the challenge of finding a publisher.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3u7ZZ5bShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!
