The conversation centers around newly reported findings involving the use of ivermectin and mebendazole in cancer patients. Dr. McCullough explains how observational data collected through The Wellness Company and the McCullough Foundation showed an 84% positive response signal among participants, including cases of remission, disease stabilization, and reductions in tumor burden. He discusses the biological mechanisms being investigated, including effects on cancer cell proliferation, blood supply, and apoptosis. Beyond cancer treatment, Josh and Dr. McCullough explore the broader epidemic of chronic illness. They examine the dramatic rise in inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, the role of environmental exposures, immune dysregulation, microbiome disruption, and the growing evidence that many chronic conditions may be driven by root-cause factors rather than purely genetic predisposition. If you're interested in gut health, inflammation, the microbiome, immune function, cancer prevention, or root-cause medicine, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at some of the most important health conversations happening today.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Repurposed Medications & Observational Cancer Research Cancer Treatment Models & Oncology Practices Environmental Causes of Disease COVID-Era Medical Controversies Cancer Prevention Strategies & Nutrition Medical Institutions, Regulation & Research Funding Emerging diagnostic technologies for cancer detection   More from Dr. Peter McCullough: Website: thefocalpoints.com Instagram: petermcculloughmd Youtube: @petermcculloughmd X: @P_McCulloughMD Substack: Focal Points More About Dr. Peter McCullough: petermcculloughmd.com Get Dr. Peter's Book: Vaccines: Mythology, Ideology, and Reality Get Dr. Peter's Book: The Courage to Face Covid 19 Listen To Dr. Peter's Podcast: The McCullough Report   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

We do not use the Low Fodmap as a primary way to help those (like us) that have Crohn's, Ulcerative colitis or Microscopic colitis - in fact it can actually hold people back from experiencing symptom relief and even remission. In this video we will unpack that further.3 Things to Consider Before Considering a Low Fodmap Approach:

Send us Fan MailA gorgeous human put her hand up at an event a couple of weekends ago, and asked if she was too old to change her career, start a business, and go after what she actually wanted.She was 47 years old.Forty-f*cking-seven.And I watched her ask it with genuine uncertainty on her face, the years of conditioning sitting right there in the room with her, whispering in her ear that she'd already missed her window.She hadn't by the way. And if you've been secretly asking yourself the same question, neither have you.This episode is for her. And honestly, it's for every woman who has ever talked herself out of something brilliant just because she thought the timing had passed.In this episode I get into:The maths that completely reframes where you actually are in your adult life (this genuinely shifted something in my brain when I worked it out)Why "am I too old" is never really an age question, it's an identity questionThe Survival Self vs the Sovereign Self, and why the gap between them is exactly where the real work livesWhat my own reinvention has looked like this year, the surgery, the recovery, the Crohn's, the financial terror of leaving a senior salary behind, and the moments of what the fuck have I doneWhat actually changes when you do this identity work, and what life looks and feels like on the other sideYou're not in the second act of a life that's winding down. You're at the interval. The second half gets to be amazing if you design it that way.If this episode lands for you, send it to the woman in your life who needs to hear it today. The one who's been talking herself out of something. Be the person who finds her in the break and tells her she's not too bloody old.And if you're ready to stop waiting and start designing the identity that actually fits who you are now, find out more about The Queen Edit here.Loads of love, Sarah x 

Rooted and Whole Wellness: Brittany Hammers on Root-Cause Naturopathy in Rural Southern IllinoisJennifer Olson and Russell Williams host Small Town, Big Business from downtown Marion, Illinois, thank sponsors, and interview Brittany Hammers, founder of Rooted and Whole Wellness. Hammers shares that her business grew from her own Crohn's disease diagnosis in 2018/2019 and frustration with trial-and-error medications, leading her to pursue a doctorate in traditional naturopathy and focus on root-cause wellness through nutrition, lifestyle changes, detox support, and selective supplement recommendations. She emphasizes long, in-depth assessments (often 60–90 minutes or longer), listening, addressing trauma and stress, and guiding clients step-by-step with frequent portal access, while limiting to about five clients a month to maintain connection. She discusses faith, balancing roles as mom, student, and business owner, staying values-driven with low overhead, plans for a future physical space, and ways to contact her via the Rooted and Whole Wellness Facebook page, including in-person, virtual, and mobile options.Recorded at EThOs Small Business Incubator and Co-working Spaces in Marion, Illinois.https://members.ethosmarion.org/ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCASTOur guest: https://www.facebook.com/RootedandWholeWellness

I have a friend named Laney who genuinely does not experience mom guilt. Not because she's a perfect mom, but because she's decided her kids are lucky to have her — and she means it! I used to laugh when she said things like that. But, now, after working for years on myself (I've come so far!), I understand that what I was struggling with wasn't only guilt over my shortcomings as a mom, but it was also guilt over the resentment I felt for everything I was carrying that led me to not enjoy my motherhood very much. The guilt was coming at me from every direction! If any of that sounds familiar, this episode is going to feel like a very welcome exhale. This week's guest is JoAnn Crohn, certified life coach and author of The Best Mom is a Happy Mom. She helps moms go from martyr to model, and this conversation is full of honest, practical tools for getting there. ✨ Why JoAnn's husband didn't even realize the imbalance until they did this one exercise together ✨ The "guilt equation" from a psychologist that will completely change how you think about your own expectations ✨ The thing JoAnn's therapist said that cut through all the noise and told her exactly what being a good mom actually requires If you've ever felt like the mental load of your family's life is sitting entirely on your shoulders, and if you've ever felt the guilt coming from every side, this episode is for you.

Send us Fan MailSara Herring lived with stomach pain so long she thought it was just life, then at 21 she finally got the word that changed everything: Crohn's disease. Sara joins us for a raw, funny, and unexpectedly tender conversation about what it's like to be dismissed as a kid, spend months chasing negative tests, and reach the point where you're writing goodbye letters because you're not sure you'll make it. Sara walks us through the turning points of her IBD journey, from the relief of being believed to years of medication trial and error that end in a surgery she never expected. We talk about how chronic abdominal pain can become so “normal” you don't even notice the ways you're bending, bracing, and shrinking your life around it, and why learning to describe pain can be a powerful tool for self-advocacy with doctors. Then we shift into the practice that helped her reclaim her life: a bucket list book that's part scrapbook, part journal, part proof that small moments matter. We dig into presence over perfection, creativity, therapy, boundaries with social media, and the complicated truth about remission, including the guilt that can come with feeling better while others are still in the fight. If you're searching for Crohn's disease support, IBD mental health tools, or hope that doesn't ignore reality, this one's for you. Subscribe for more real talk, share this with someone who needs it, and please leave a rating and review so more people in the IBD community can find us.Let's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!

Have you ever been told that the thing you need to get better doesn't exist on the NHS but quietly, it does?This week I'm joined by Dr. Simon Erridge, medical doctor, UCL researcher, and one of the UK's leading voices in medical cannabis. Simon has a way of cutting through the stigma and the noise and what he shares isn't about getting high. It's about patients who've tried everything, suffered for years, and finally found relief.What we explore together:What medical cannabis actually is  and why it's nothing like what you probably picture when you hear the word cannabisWhy the UK is one of the highest opioid-prescribing countries in the world, and what that tells us about how we treat chronic painWhat's actually happening in the brain with PTSD and how medical cannabis can help decouple the trauma from the memory itselfThe shocking contamination rates in illicit cannabis, and why the black market route puts people at real riskWho shouldn't use medical cannabis, and the conditions where it's not appropriateThe full range of conditions being treated right now: from migraines, Crohn's disease and MS to anxiety, depression, OCD and cancer-related symptomsIf you or someone you love has been living with chronic pain, PTSD, endometriosis, or any condition that feels like it has no solution this one is for you.Love, Sarah Ann

Ilana Golant, Founder and CEO of the Food Allergy Fund, discusses the increasing prevalence and complexity of food allergies in people of all ages and the lack of research, funding, and diagnostics in this field. The Food Allergy Fund is taking a multifaceted approach to address these challenges, including funding microbiome research, exploring drug repurposing, and leveraging AI to develop better diagnostic tools.  The goal is to find a cure for food allergies to prevent life-threatening anaphylaxis and drive research into the connection between food allergies and gut and immune health. Ilana explains, "We launched a microbiome research collective recently because we really think the microbiome is the common denominator for many diseases. I mean, food allergy really no longer exists in isolation. It used to be 20 years ago, you would say someone had a peanut allergy. That patient doesn't really exist anymore. It is estimated that 40% of patients who have food allergies also have asthma, which is a significant comorbidity, but their other diseases overlap with Crohn's, juvenile diabetes, and atopic dermatitis, among others."   "We really think of food allergy as the canary in the coal mine for lifelong gut and immune health, and what the microbiome dysregulation could mean not only for food allergy, but for broader gut health. And so as part of our Microbiome Collective, we're right now funding studies at six different research institutions across the country to try to figure out what this gut dysbiosis means for food allergy and much more." #FoodAllergyFund #FoodAllergyResearch #FoodAllergyAwareness #Biotech #Immunology #PatientAdvocacy #HealthcareInnovation #FoodAllergy #Microbiome #AIinHealthcare #DrugRepurposing #AllergyResearch #Anaphylaxis #PrecisionMedicine #EmpoweredPatient foodallergyfund.org  Listen to the podcast here

It's the 22nd anniversary of Marvin Heemeyer's killdozer rampage through Granby, Colorado, and Frank welcomes back Jay to walk the timeline. Two acres at auction, a concrete plant blocking his access, a check stamped "cowards," and a year of secret welding inside a Komatsu D355A. The episode threads George Bernard Shaw, John Adams on studying war, and JFK on peaceful revolution into a single question: how unreasonable do good men have to be willing to get? From there, the grievances stack. New York is replacing mother and father with "gestating parent" on official documents. A Canadian doctor allegedly assessed a 45 year old man with Crohn's for medically assisted death in a Tim Hortons parking lot, then forgot a drug from the cocktail and the patient briefly came back to life. Oregon wants to ban hunting and fishing in a state with no late term abortion limit. AJ from Twitch calls in to ask where the line actually is. Frank reads excerpts from the Unabomber manifesto, Jay pushes back on Kaczynski's tidy leftist conservative dichotomy, and the night closes with sperm whales speaking Chinese.

Was the Poltergeist curse real, or did the world get Heather O'Rourke's story wrong for 38 Years?On February 1, 1988, Heather O'Rourke died at twelve years old. For nearly four decades the world has filled that silence with rumors. She Was Here, the new documentary produced by Brian Pocrass and directed by Nick Bailey, is the first authorized account of what actually happened, told by Heather's mother Kathleen, her sister Tammy, and the people who knew and worked with her.In Episode 279, Christian sits down with producer Brian Pocrass to talk about how She Was Here came together, what it cost to earn the trust of a grieving family that had been burned by Hollywood for nearly four decades, and why he believes Heather's death was completely preventable. Brian is a USC Film School graduate with fifteen years in the entertainment industry who later became an attorney. He calls this his first documentary.At the heart of She Was Here is a question Brian poses to himself as a producer: how much oxygen do you give a lie? Heather's death from a misdiagnosed intestinal condition, treated as Crohn's disease, became, in the tabloid press of the late 1980s, the foundation of what came to be called the Poltergeist curse. Brian's film is a working filmmaker's answer to that question, anchored in legal depositions, family archives, and the testimony of the people who loved her. It is also, as he tells Christian, a film about loss.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:Why Heather O'Rourke's family broke nearly four decades of silence to participate in She Was HereHow a misdiagnosis took Heather's life at twelve, and what her mother wants every parent to know about medical decisionsHow the Poltergeist curse rumor started, and why Heather's family is finally telling the real storyWhat it actually takes to earn the trust of a grieving family that has been burned by Hollywood for thirty-eight yearsWhy Brian Pocrass, a USC Film School graduate, returned to filmmaking after a fifteen-year career and a transition to lawHow Brian used his legal background to read sealed depositions from the 1991 lawsuit and uncover the real storyWhy directors like Gary Sherman and stars like Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams broke their "Heather Shield" silence for this filmThe first-hand account of the Poltergeist III set explosion in Chicago, told by an eyewitness who was thereHow Brian defines the "illusion of documentary filmmaking" and the rhythm that holds a non-fiction story togetherThe Steven Spielberg interview Brian could not get, and why he is willing to talk about it publiclyThe documentary Brian could not stop thinking about, his DocuView Déjà Vu pickCHAPTERS00:00 Her Death Was Completely Preventable: The Heart of She Was Here00:29 Welcome to Documentary First with Christian Taylor00:52 Meet Brian Pocrass: USC Film School Grad and She Was Here Producer02:25 The Childhood Crush That Fueled a Documentary07:11 The Tipping Point: Why Brian Made the Film09:48 Earning the O'Rourke Family's Trust After an Initial No12:40 The Full Circle Moment: Setting Heather Free14:52 Did Heather's Mom and Sister Feel Heard15:27 Craig T.

The cause was septic shock from an acute bowel obstruction, ultimately traced to a congenital intestinal abnormality that had been misdiagnosed as Crohn's disease. The misdiagnosis is the central tragedy of She Was Here — producer Brian Pocrass calls her death "completely preventable" with the correct diagnosis and a simple surgery. The film's authorized account ends decades of conspiracy speculation about her death.Is the Poltergeist curse real?The "Poltergeist curse" is a tabloid-era rumor that grew from the deaths of four Poltergeist trilogy cast members across the 1980s. Heather O'Rourke's family, who appear throughout She Was Here, reject the curse narrative as a painful misrepresentation of their daughter and sister. The documentary presents the authorized medical and legal record: Heather's death was a misdiagnosed congenital condition, not a curse.Where can I watch the Heather O'Rourke documentary?She Was Here is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. The 85-minute documentary was released on February 24, 2026, distributed in the United States by Virgil Films Entertainment and internationally by Indiecan Entertainment.

After her time on the sidelines, Carolyn opened a full-service salon at Mid America Plaza in Oak Brook, Illinois, the very building where Poltergeist III filmed its underground garage scenes. She was on the first floor when the on-set explosion happened and gives an eyewitness account in this...

If you have ever felt uneasy about a prescription but could not quite explain why, this episode is for you. Not because the goal is to scare you, but because you deserve to understand how the system actually works — from someone who worked inside it for years. Welcome I am a Registered Nurse and Christian holistic health coach, and before I ever coached women toward natural healing, I spent years inside the pharmaceutical industry working in drug safety and pharmacovigilance. I processed the reports. I saw the conflicts of interest. And eventually, I became the patient. This episode is for the Christian woman who has been dismissed, medicated, and sent home with a prescription and zero real answers. The woman who suspects there is a better way but does not know where to start. If that is you, keep listening. What the Drug Approval Process Actually Looks Like Most people assume that by the time a drug reaches your pharmacist, it has been tested on hundreds of thousands of people over decades. The reality is more sobering. Before a drug is approved, it goes through clinical trials. For your average drug, the median total number of participants across all clinical trials before FDA approval is 1,708 people. For orphan drugs — drugs created for rare diseases — that number drops to a median of 438 participants. That is the data your doctor's prescription is based on. The Conflict of Interest Nobody Talks About Here is what most people outside the industry do not know. When a patient has an adverse event during a clinical trial, a report gets sent to the drug safety department. A physician is then required to determine whether or not the drug caused that event. But that physician works for — or is contracted by — the pharmaceutical company. The chief medical officer, the person setting the tone for how reports are assessed, has a financial stake in the outcome. Even the most ethical physician in that position faces a fundamental conflict of interest. And in some cases, if the clinical trial investigator — the doctor actually watching the patient — determines the drug caused the adverse event, the pharmaceutical company's physician can override that assessment entirely. The Human Factor Inside the System The people who work in drug safety are largely detail-oriented, hardworking, and genuinely care about patient outcomes. That matters and it is worth saying. But the system itself has real limitations. High turnover rates mean institutional knowledge walks out the door constantly. Clinical trial teams spread across the globe sometimes do not understand their own reporting obligations. Physicians reviewing dozens of nearly identical reports daily are fighting boredom and burnout. And patients taking 10, 15, or even 30 medications at once make causality nearly impossible to determine with any real certainty. The science is not as clean as the packaging suggests. After FDA Approval — The Data Gets Even Thinner Once a drug is on the market, the primary way a pharmaceutical company learns about safety issues is through voluntary reports — from you or your doctor. Most patients have never heard of a pharmacovigilance department. Most healthcare professionals do not know they can or should be reporting adverse events directly to pharmaceutical companies. That means the post-market safety data is largely dependent on a system most people do not know exists. Vioxx is the example that opened this episode. FDA approved. Widely prescribed. Pulled from the market after data showed an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. The clinical trials passed. The stamp of approval was given. And people were still harmed. What This Means for Your Health Decisions None of this means every pharmaceutical product is dangerous or that every person working in the industry has bad intentions. That is not the point. The point is discernment. The safety profile of the drug you may be taking rests heavily on the worldview of one chief medical officer at one pharmaceutical company, filtered through a reporting system most people have never heard of, built on a data set far smaller than most people realize. That is not a conspiracy. That is just how the system is structured. Why God Must Come First My friend had Crohn's disease for roughly 15 years. One day she was healed. Her doctor's response? It must be that you never had Crohn's disease in the first place. That response reveals everything about a worldview that cannot make room for healing outside of its own framework. God is not limited by what the data set allows. He is not constrained by what the chief medical officer approves. His wisdom is complete, and He designed your body with purpose and precision. I am not here to get you off your medications. I am not here to tell you pharmaceutical companies are entirely bad. My mission is simpler and more important than that — to encourage you to go to God first. To seek His wisdom before you outsource your health to a system that was never designed to heal you. As one of my dear friends shared with me for my book, Discover God's Health Wisdom: Science and knowledge are gifts from the Almighty One, yet they are not God. When we believe the deception that academia, research, and humanity's partial understanding is more powerful than the One who created it all, then it controls us and leaves us susceptible to more deception. Time-Stamped Highlights 0:01 — The Vioxx story: what it reveals about FDA approval and drug safety 1:00 — What pharmacovigilance is and why most people have never heard of it 3:51 — The good inside the system: the people who genuinely care 4:17 — The chaotic human factor and the God complex in conventional medicine 7:08 — The conflict of interest at the heart of drug safety assessments 9:29 — The clinical trial data sets: how many people a drug is actually tested on 11:22 — Post-market reporting and why the data gets thinner after approval 13:15 — Why comorbidities and polypharmacy make causality nearly impossible to assess 16:31 — How a physician's worldview shapes the safety conclusions of an entire drug program 17:56 — The invitation: go to God first for your health Key Takeaways Drug approvals are based on smaller data sets than most people assume — medians of 1,708 participants for standard drugs and 438 for orphan drugs across all clinical trials The physician determining whether a drug caused an adverse event often works directly for the pharmaceutical company — a structural conflict of interest Post-market safety data depends largely on voluntary reporting from patients and doctors, most of whom do not know the system exists The science is real and has genuine value — but it is incomplete, human, and subject to bias like every other human system Seeking God's wisdom first does not mean rejecting medicine; it means approaching your health with discernment rather than blind trust True lasting healing is possible — and God's design for your body is more complete than any clinical trial Ready to Stop Outsourcing Your Health?

A Brand New Tool for Gut, Inflammation, and Brain Support: Holistic practitioner Jane Jansen details Essential Formulas' Dr. Ohhira's Postbiotic Fermented Food Concentrate, a non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, capsule-free fermented paste in travel-friendly, non-refrigerated sachets. She explains the difference between probiotics and postbiotics, emphasizing that this concentrate delivers postbiotic metabolites (including short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, plus enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, peptides, and growth/repair factors) created via a five-year fermentation of 14 fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, and seaweeds; the paste contains no live probiotics because they are heat-killed. The discussion highlights use cases for people who don't tolerate fiber or probiotics (IBS, SIBO, Crohn's, ulcerative colitis), potential benefits for leaky gut, systemic inflammation, gut-brain/mitochondrial health, insulin resistance, children, and pets, and suggests it can complement Dr. Ohhira's capsules and may be taken less than daily.

It can feel confusing when it comes to figure out food intolerances in IBD - but there is so much more to the conversation that isn't really talked about much online like....⏰ Timing - if you are getting symptoms immediately after eating a food (like bloating or racing to the bathroom) it might not actually be the food itself - but it can still be data that we can use to drive nutrition recommendations.

In this soulful and expansive episode, Anna speaks with Noga Shefi — musician, healer, and guide for sensitive creatives — about what it means to heal, create, and live from a regulated, intuitive, embodied place.Noga's personal story is profound. After being diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2010 and told she'd be suffering for life, she embarked on a deep healing journey that took her far beyond conventional medicine. From gut-brain healing to meditation retreats, from subtle energy work to dreamwork, from nervous system regulation to spiritual study — Noga followed her sensitivity inward and found a path to healing.Now she brings that wisdom to other creatives and sensitives who want to grow, create, and serve without burning out.In this episode, we explore:• What it's like to balance being a musician and a healer• How creativity feeds healing — and how healing expands creativity• The double-edged sword of being a sensitive creative (and how Noga navigates her own sensitivity)• Why sensitivity is not a liability, but an intelligence• How to recognize the early signs of emotional or nervous system overwhelm• The tools Noga uses daily to regulate, reset, and ground• The healing modalities that supported her Crohn's remission — and that she now shares with clients• What it means to live from intuition rather than fear• Her favorite practices for supporting sensitive creatives in their path of transformationThis is a grounding, nourishing, deeply validating conversation for anyone who identifies as sensitive, intuitive, creative, or easily overwhelmed — and who wants to learn to work with their sensitivity instead of against it.

Constipation is a huge pain in the ass...  and if you're not having at least 1 to 2 bowel movements a day, you're on the "constipation spectrum." Long term opioid use, antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and the newer weight loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro all slow your gut and put you on the same path that killed Elvis Presley.  So does chronic stress, mold exposure, parasites, and the kind of inflammation that drives most cases of IBS, Crohn's, and ulcerative colitis.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Defining constipation What actually causes it Why doctors miss the root cause The risks of long term constipation  How to fix constipation naturally   If you have Crohn's, Colitis or Diverticulitis, be sure to check out my second podcast: Reversing Crohn's and Colitis Naturally.   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Send us Fan MailFive years post J-pouch surgery sounds like a finish line, but our bodies do not read the brochure. We're together in person for a live catch-up with our favorite recurring guest and IBD Registered Dietitian, Stacey Collins, and we get real about what changes with time and what still blindsides you when you live with a J-Pouch after IBD.We talk through the wins that matter most day to day: more capacity, less urgency, and the quiet joy of doing normal things without panic, like waiting in line, taking long road trips, hiking, skiing, and traveling. Then we dig into the stuff patients whisper about but rarely get warned about, especially gas pain. We break down what it feels like, why it can block emptying, what actually helps (yes, including “toilet yoga”), and why travel, altitude, fasting, dehydration, carbonation, and food additives can make symptoms spike.We also cover the scary gray zones: when symptoms feel like a Crohn's flare but turn out to be SIBO, why antibiotics may be part of J-pouch life, and how to rebuild the gut microbiome afterward with food you can tolerate. Finally, we get blunt about the “surgery is curative” myth, the need for ongoing monitoring (iron deficiency anemia, B12, folate, fatigue), and what better post-op care should look like, including pelvic floor physical therapy and honest expectations at 3, 6, and 12 months.If you found this helpful, subscribe, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review.

Could lupus and Sjögren's symptoms improve in just weeks with the right diet and lifestyle changes? Dr. Brooke Goldner joins Chuck Carroll to share the remarkable stories of patients with autoimmune disease who experienced dramatic recoveries after following her Goodbye Autoimmune Disease protocol. This conversation is especially personal for me. There are people close to me who have struggled for decades with many of the same issues Dr. Goldner and I discuss in this interview. I shared this episode with one of them before releasing it publicly, and they were blown away by what she had to say. Dr. Goldner discusses her 2024 case series involving three women with both lupus and Sjögren's syndrome who reported symptom remission within weeks after following a raw, whole-food, plant-based nutrition protocol. She also shares her own story of being diagnosed with aggressive lupus as a teenager, facing kidney failure and mini strokes, and later living symptom-free for more than 20 years.

In this powerful episode of the What Are You Made Of? show, host Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Dr. Jill Carnahan, a board-certified family physician and integrative medicine expert, to explore the deep connection between physical health, emotional healing, and human connection. Known for her work in functional and holistic medicine, Dr. Jill brings both clinical expertise and lived experience as a survivor of breast cancer, Crohn's disease, and toxic mold illness—offering a rare, grounded perspective on what it truly takes to heal complex chronic conditions.The conversation goes far beyond conventional medicine as Dr. Jill explains how “grace” and self-compassion are often the missing foundations in healing. She shares how unresolved trauma, childhood patterns, emotional stress, and lack of self-love can manifest as physical illness, and why creating a “safe, sacred space” for patients is central to her practice. Together, Mike 'C-Roc" and Dr. Jill unpack how toxic load, infectious burden, and chronic stress impact the immune system, why loneliness has become one of the most overlooked health risk factors, and how modern life amplifies disease through disconnection. They also dive into emerging topics like GLP-1 microdosing, inflammation, and the evolving role of functional medicine in a world of increasing complexity. This episode is a compelling reminder that true healing begins from within—where science, mindset, and grace meet.Website-www.jillcarnahan.com Social Media Links/Handles:https://www.facebook.com/FlatironFunctionalMedicinehttps://www.instagram.com/drjillcarnahan/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillcarnahan//https://www.youtube.com/@DrJillCarnahan

Told donor eggs after failed IVF? There is a category of testing that your fertility clinic does not run. We rarely run a stool test and find nothing. The IVF cycle did not work. Maybe it was poor response. Maybe it was canceled before retrieval. Maybe you got embryos and they arrested. Maybe the transfer failed. Your clinic looked at your numbers and told you donor eggs. In this episode, Sarah Clark walks through the gut pattern the Fab Fertile team sees in women who come to us after failed IVF with a donor egg recommendation, and why this pattern changes the picture before the next decision. What this episode covers: H. pylori. One of the most common findings in the women who come to us after failed IVF. It impairs absorption of iron, vitamin B12, and zinc, the nutrients that affect egg quality, thyroid function, and hormone production. It is passed back and forth between partners through saliva. If you have it, there is a strong chance your partner has it too. Parasites, giardia, blastocystis. Common findings. Rarely tested at the fertility clinic. Bacterial overgrowth, including streptococcus. Fungal overgrowth and dysbiosis. The reason chasing an anti-candida diet without testing moves you in circles. Elevated calprotectin. A signal of gut inflammation, often present in women with IBD, Crohn's, colitis, and women with no formal diagnosis. Elevated zonulin. A marker of intestinal permeability. The pattern we see after rounds of antibiotics, sinus infections, UTIs, birth control, and high stress. Why this matters before a donor egg decision: H. pylori impairs iron absorption. Ferritin reads low or low-normal. The clinic says iron is fine because the lab range starts around 15. The fertility-optimized range is closer to 50. Iron is foundational to egg quality. The oxygen carrying capacity to your follicles depends on it. B12 affects methylation, the process your body uses to produce the co-factors needed for egg maturation. Zinc affects ovulation and progesterone production. Chronic gut inflammation affects ovarian response to stimulation, implantation, and miscarriage risk. When your clinic looks at a canceled cycle, arrested embryos, or a failed transfer and recommends donor eggs, they are responding to the outcome. They are not asking what is driving the outcome. This episode is for the woman sitting with a donor egg recommendation who is not ready to agree before she understands what was actually evaluated.

If you have autoimmune disease, you've probably been told to keep an eye on your bone density number. But here's the thing — that number only predicts fractures in about 44% of women with osteoporosis. Most of what's actually driving your fracture risk isn't showing up on that scan. I brought Dr. John Neustadt back to talk about his newly expanded book, Fracture-Proof Your Bones, and this conversation goes well beyond what we covered last time. We get into how gut inflammation — the kind that comes with autoimmunity, leaky gut, Crohn's, or celiac — directly triggers bone loss through inflammatory cytokines that activate the cells that break down bone. We also talk about the medications most doctors aren't warning you about (SSRIs, prednisone, PPIs) and how they're silently destroying bone tissue. Plus: what your diet is actually doing to your skeleton, a simple 10-second balance test that predicts fracture risk better than a bone scan, the surprising link between oxytocin and your osteoblasts, and which routine labs to ask for that most people never get. People with autoimmune disease face a 200–400% increased fracture risk. That's the reality — but there's a lot you can do about it.

This episode was sponsored by Cardiff & Energized Health   LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Today's Dropping Bombs episode features John Jubilee — health researcher and creator of the 88-Day Protocol who, at 65 years old, just set a world record bench pressing 555 pounds 14 times. He's spent 29 years measuring over 50,000 people, and in all that time, hasn't even found five who were properly hydrated.   John breaks down why drinking more water isn't solving anything, why cellular dehydration is the root cause of virtually every illness and disease (from Lyme and Crohn's to ED, low testosterone, joint degeneration, and hormone imbalances), and the simple protocol that's reversing what doctors call irreversible.   If you're tired of being told to manage your symptoms and ready to actually fix the root cause, this is the episode you've been waiting for.    

Ileocolic resection is one of the most common operations performed for Crohn's disease, yet the optimal approach to anastomotic construction and mesenteric management remains an active area of debate. From the configuration of the anastomosis to the extent of mesenteric excision, emerging evidence suggests that surgical technique may play a meaningful role in disease outcomes. Join Drs. Jared Hendren, Elissa Dabaghi, Joseph Trunzo, Ajaratu Keshinro, and David Rosen as they discuss methods for ileocolic anastomosis in Crohn's disease while reviewing the latest literature.Hosts: - Jared Hendren, MDInstitution: Department of General Surgery, Digestive Disease Institute, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, Ohio- Elissa Dabaghi, MDInstitution: Department of General Surgery, Digestive Disease Institute, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, Ohio- Joseph Trunzo, MDInstitution: Department of Colon and Rectal Surgery, Digestive Disease Institute, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, OhioX/Twitter @joseph_trunzo- Ajaratu Keshinro, MDInstitution: Department of Colon and Rectal Surgery, Digestive Disease Institute, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, OhioX/Twitter- @AJKesh- David Rosen, MDInstitution: Department of Colon and Rectal Surgery, Digestive Disease Institute, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, OhioX/Twitter- @davidrrosenmdLearning Objectives: By the end of this episode, listeners will be able to:1.     Evaluate the evidence for the Kono-S anastomosis in reducing postoperative recurrence after ileocolic resection for Crohn's disease2.     Describe the role of the mesentery in driving recurrence and discuss how mesenteric-targeting surgical approaches may influence outcomes3.     Interpret the results of recent randomized controlled trials on extended mesenteric excision and apply them to surgical decision-making in ileocolic resection for Crohn's diseasePlease visit https://behindtheknife.org to access other high-yield surgical education podcasts, videos and more.  If you liked this episode, check out our recent episodes here: https://behindtheknife.org/listenBehind the Knife Premium: https://behindtheknife.org/premiumOral Board Review: https://behindtheknife.org/oral-boardOral Board Simulator: https://behindtheknife.org/oral-board/simulatorGeneral Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/general-surgery-oral-board-reviewTrauma Surgery Video Atlas: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/trauma-surgery-video-atlasDominate Surgery: A High-Yield Guide to Your Surgery Clerkship: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/dominate-surgery-a-high-yield-guide-to-your-surgery-clerkshipDominate Surgery for APPs: A High-Yield Guide to Your Surgery Rotation: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/dominate-surgery-for-apps-a-high-yield-guide-to-your-surgery-rotationVascular Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/vascular-surgery-oral-board-reviewColorectal Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/colorectal-surgery-oral-board-reviewSurgical Oncology Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/surgical-oncology-oral-board-reviewCardiothoracic Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/cardiothoracic-surgery-oral-board-reviewDownload our App:Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/behind-the-knife/id1672420049Android/Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.btk.app&hl=en_US

There's a famous plague known as "the dancing plague" that infected over 400 people in Europe, over 500 years ago, and medical historians are still unsure what caused it. However, there are some strong suspicions that it was a mold realted illness due to what old can do to humans. It can affects your skin, eyes, nervous system, brain, immune system and even destroy your gut; and mold is in up to 70% of US homes, causing problems for you, right now.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: The dancing plague of 1518 What happened to the town's people What may have caused the dancing plague How mold might be making you sick today How to heal from mold illness   If you have Crohn's, Colitis or Diverticulitis, be sure to check out my second podcast: Reversing Crohn's and Colitis Naturally.   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Epi 352 What autoimmune disease REALLY does to your body goes far beyond occasional fatigue or inflammation. In this episode of the Our Sleeved Life Podcast, we sit down with resilience coach and medical professional Nikolett Demeter from Pop Recovery to have an honest conversation about chronic illness, lupus, gut health, bariatric nutrition, inflammation, and what it actually feels like to live in a body that's constantly fighting itself. We talk about why autoimmune diseases like lupus, Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Graves' disease, and other chronic illnesses can leave people exhausted, struggling with brain fog, digestive issues, nutrient deficiencies, chronic inflammation, and flare-ups that impact everyday life. Nikolett explains how inflammation works inside the body, why sleep and hydration matter more than most people realize, and how nutrition, protein intake, omega-3s, gut health, and stress management can help support healing and recovery. This conversation also dives into bariatric surgery recovery, vitamin deficiencies, immune system health, anti-inflammatory foods, hormone balance, and the powerful connection between the gut microbiome and overall wellness. Whether you're personally dealing with autoimmune disease or supporting someone who is, this episode is full of practical advice, emotional support, and real conversations about resilience and health. If you've been searching for ways to reduce chronic inflammation naturally, improve gut health, manage autoimmune symptoms, recover after bariatric surgery, or simply better understand chronic illness and fatigue, this episode is for you.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT): Beyond the Bends—Wounds, Stroke Recovery, Radiation Injury, and Performance. Nicole Garrett, founder and COO of Under Pressure Hyperbarics, details hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). She explains how HBOT treats divers' decompression sickness by recompressing nitrogen bubbles and reducing inflammation, and how therapeutic benefits depend on reaching adequate pressure (commonly around 2.0 atmospheres or more; diver treatment may begin at 2.8). Garrett describes HBOT's history, FDA-approved uses such as diabetic wound healing, radiation injury, and sudden sensorineural hearing loss (often combined with steroids), and off-label use for stroke/TBI recovery, cognitive issues, autoimmune flares, Crohn's disease, athletic recovery, anti-aging research (including telomere findings), and adjunctive cancer care. She contrasts “soft” chambers with higher-pressure medical chambers, discusses treatment courses (often 10–60 sessions), safety and contraindications (ears, pneumothorax, retinal bubble procedures), and practical barriers like cost, insurance coverage, and facility/oxygen regulations.
