Full show notes: BenGreenfieldLife.com/gutsolution In this episode, you'll meet Josh Dech, a former paramedic turned Crohn's and colitis consultant who argues that all three things Western medicine says about inflammatory bowel disease are wrong: it's not genetic, not classically autoimmune, and not idiopathic. We walk the research trail from a 1988 Swedish twin study through the NOD2 gene to the genome-wide studies that mapped hundreds of risk loci and still explained only a sliver of the disease, and into the numbers that worry him most, where the West has 6% of the world's population but 60% of its bowel disease. You'll also get the practical half: his sequence to help stop the active cause first, then how he suggests opening the seven drainage pathways, why he takes a full history before ordering a single test, where peptides belong, what is really coming out of people during a parasite cleanse, and why $30,000 fecal transplants keep failing. Near the end, it turns personal and a little gross, into my own dairy problem and the biomechanics of a proper bowel movement.

From Patient to Pioneer: GIL LUXENBOURG Changed MedicalCannabis Forever#realconversations #medicalcannabis #educator #inventor#WIZDOM #CrohnsDiseaseCONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN — WE THE SPECIESHosted by Calvin SchwartzMeet GIL LUXENBOURG. “This interview evolved over the lastmonth.  I knew Gil is a medical cannabispatient, educator, and inventor. Rather brilliant, insightful, and caring. Oursynchronicity. I have a friend, Gaetano Lardieri, who is very much involved inthe cannabis space here in New Jersey. And I do know that the world of cannabisresearch, usage, and societal impacts is changing and evolving every month. AndGil received the 7th medical cannabis license issued by the IsraeliMinistry of Health. His life was dramatically impacted by coming down withCrohn's disease. And how medical cannabis helped him beyond. There is so muchdepth to Gil. He is currently building WIZDOM Coaching Circle for patientswhose medical treatment isn't working. His brilliance helps people with apersonalized protocol. Things we touched on. Patient education. AI and cannabis(fascinating). His US patent is an amazing idea. Guiding 10,000 patients. WIZDOMcoaching. Leadership. Terpenes (the stuff that makes things smell). I used tobe a pharmacist, so some things are within my grasp. But Gil is on anotherlevel. As I told him, I could listen for hours more. So fascinating. And yes,we even talked about the movie ‘Animal House' and the marijuana scene withDonald Sutherland. Maybe the universe is in my thumbnail.”  Calvin

What if the problem isn't that you need another diet, supplement, or protocol? What if you need to change the way you're approaching your healing in the first place? In this episode of the Pretty Well Podcast, I'm talking with Dane Johnson, naturopathic nutritionist and founder of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle, about his experience with severe Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and the foundational shifts he made to help him move from simply surviving to building a life he actually wanted to live. Dane's story is remarkable. After years of trying restrictive diets, supplements, fasting, and different approaches to healing, his inflammatory bowel disease became so severe that he was hospitalized and told his mother doctors weren't sure he would make it through the night. But what happened next is what makes this conversation so interesting. Dane didn't just change what he ate. He changed how he lived. He began journaling, getting outside, walking, reading, meditating, connecting with people, and deliberately creating more moments of joy and hope in his day. And instead of endlessly looking outside himself for the next answer, he started learning how to understand his own body, experiment, observe, and make adjustments. His philosophy can be summed up in one line: Get happy to get healthy. And no, that doesn't mean pretending everything is fine when you're sick. It means creating a foundation that makes healthy choices sustainable instead of turning your entire life into one giant healing project. We also talk about why copying someone else's diet or morning routine doesn't work, how to create a health plan that actually fits your life, the connection between stress and decision-making, why community matters when you're dealing with chronic illness, and how to turn the things that feel like sacrifices into investments in the life you want. If you've ever found yourself overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information about gut health, supplements, fasting, inflammation, or “the perfect” healing protocol, you'll want to hear this one. Often the next step isn't adding more. It's going back to the foundation.

A Crohn's disease diagnosis can feel like a life sentence, especially when you're told medication is the only option. I sit down with Jen Germain, a certified functional medicine health coach and founder of Compass Health Coaching, to share what changed when she started asking a different question: why is my body inflamed in the first place?Jen walks us through her health crisis in 2020, the fear and frustration of being dismissed, and the practical steps that helped her reclaim momentum. We break down functional medicine in plain English, talk gut health and root cause healing, and unpack the autoimmune protocol (AIP) as a structured way to reduce inflammation and identify trigger foods through careful reintroduction. If you've been searching for functional medicine guidance, autoimmune protocol tips, or a realistic path to chronic illness support, you'll hear what actually mattered day to day.We also go beyond food. Jen calls out sleep and chronic stress as two of the most overlooked drivers of stubborn symptoms, and she shares mindset tools that make change possible, including her powerful reminder: you can't heal a body you hate. We talk self-advocacy in healthcare, what to write down before appointments, and when it's time to find a provider who will go deeper.Connect with JenWebsite: https://www.compasshealthcoachingllc.com/ https://www.instagram.com/compasshealthcoachingllc/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifergermain/https://www.facebook.com/compasshealthcoachingllc Video Consultations https://compasshealthcoachingllc.practicebetter.io/#/62efebd9960d0837f69830ae/bookings?step=servicesLet me know what you'd like to hear more about on the showSupport the showI'm Carol Clegg, a life coach offering gentle accountability coaching and I am a curious conversationalist.If you enjoy reflection, fresh perspectives, and honest dialogue, this space is for you.If you'd like to experience this work in community, I host a complimentary monthly Accountability Circle  a supportive space to pause, gain clarity, and choose a gentle next step forward.

What happens when the foundational microbes responsible for helping establish the infant gut microbiome begin disappearing? In this episode of ReversABLE, Josh Dech sits down with microbiome researcher Stephanie Culler to explore one of the most overlooked factors in lifelong health: what happens to the gut microbiome during the earliest stages of life. Stephanie shares findings from the My Baby Biome study, described as the largest U.S. study of the infant gut microbiome, including the striking observation that 25% of babies in the study had no detectable Bifidobacterium at all. Even more concerning, the team found that approximately 76% of babies had low levels of these foundational bacteria, with low or absent levels by age two associated with substantially higher risk of conditions such as food allergies, eczema, and asthma. The conversation breaks down why Bifidobacterium—particularly Bifidobacterium infantis—matters, how human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) act as specialized prebiotics, and how microbial metabolites can influence immune-system development and inflammation. Stephanie explains how antibiotics, C-sections, feeding practices, ultra-processed foods, low-fiber diets, and broader modernization may be reshaping the infant microbiome across generations. Josh and Stephanie also explore whether the microbiome can be "rewilded," why some bacterial strains may be better adapted to the modern gut than older commercial strains, and the potential implications for adult gut health and inflammatory disease. They discuss research into microbiome restoration using targeted combinations of Bifidobacterium strains and HMOs. The episode also tackles a surprisingly nuanced question: is there one ideal diet for the microbiome? Stephanie explains why different microbiome configurations may respond differently to fiber-rich, mixed, or carnivore-style diets—and why personalized nutrition may ultimately depend on the microbial ecosystem already present in an individual's gut. For parents, prospective parents, and anyone interested in gut health, inflammation, the microbiome, immune function, and root-cause approaches to chronic disease, this conversation offers a provocative look at how early microbial exposure may influence health for decades to come.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: The Infant Microbiome And Loss Of Foundational Bifidobacterium Bifidobacterium Infantis, HMOs, Immune Development, And Inflammation Modernization, Antibiotics, C-Sections, Formula, And Ultra-Processed Foods Whether The Microbiome Can Be Restored Or "Rewilded" Stephanie's My Baby Biome Research And Microbiome Mapping Implications For Adult Gut Health, Crohn's, Colitis, Cancer, And Inflammatory Disease Microbiome-Adapted Bacterial Strains And The Persephone Product Diet, Fiber, Fermented Foods, Plants, And The Carnivore Debate Pregnancy, Maternal Microbiome, And Transmission To The Infant Microbiome Conservation, Extinction, And Banking Lost Species   More from Stephanie Culler: Website: persephone.bio Instagram: @persephone.bio TikTok: persephone.bio   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

You've read the books. You've done the workshops. You've got the strategy. So why does everything still feel like too much?Tess Rouse has a different answer than what you've been sold: you don't need more strategy. You need more capacity.In this episode, we sit down with Tess Rouse, breathwork facilitator and somatic practitioner, who spent 18 years managing rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease while building a 16-year executive leadership career on sheer drive. She's worked with individuals and organizations on one disruptive idea: burnout isn't fixed by doing more, it's fixed by building the body's ability to hold more. If you've ever wondered why you can have all the tools and still feel like you're running on empty, this episode is the conversation you need.What You'll LearnWhat "capacity" actually means and how low capacity shows up in your relationships, your rest, and your reactionsThe honest difference between someone who is genuinely regulated under pressure and someone who has gotten very good at masking dysregulationWhy the high-achieving, overperforming coping mechanism is one of the hardest to recognize because everyone is applauding you for itThe two specific steps to actually build nervous system capacity (and why everyone wants to skip the first one)What Hebbian law has to do with the automatic patterns running your daily life right nowWhy the nervous system doesn't update just because your circumstances do, and what it takes to actually rewire old patternsWhy the body cannot tell the difference between an imagined experience and a real one, and how breathwork uses this to help repattern the nervous systemWhat Tess is actually watching for in a session when she sees someone's nervous system shift in real timeWhy avoiding emotion doesn't dissolve it, it embeds it, and what that embedding looks like in the body over yearsYour Next Steps:Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eversiowellness/Shop Eversio Wellness and save 15% with code PODCAST15: https://www.eversiowellness.com/discount/PODCAST15?redirect=%2Fcollections%2Fall-productsTake our wellness quiz to find the right mushroom for you: https://www.eversiowellness.com/pages/take-our-quiz

Episode 14 of Waiting for Ascension, Gavin sits down with Severn for one of the most wide-ranging conversations yet.The episode starts with Severn opening up about his experience living with an ostomy, Crohn's disease, major intestinal surgery, dehydration, hospitalizations, and the road toward his upcoming reversal. They talk honestly about the realities of ostomy life, diet, recovery, medical care, and the things people rarely hear about until they experience them themselves.From there, the conversation takes a sharp turn into some much bigger questions: the security of America's power grid, foreign cyber threats, artificial intelligence, artificial brains, consciousness, digital worlds, brain uploading, and the possibility of technology eventually changing what it means to be human.They also discuss war and the increasingly blurred line between military operations and officially declaring war, China and nuclear threats, military policy, surveillance technology, Flock cameras, artificial womb research, and the strange direction modern technology appears to be heading.And, because this is Waiting for Ascension, the conversation eventually gets into Lindsay Clancy, upcoming episodes, personal stories, hospital experiences, and plenty of completely unplanned detours.This episode is a conversation about health, technology, war, consciousness, and the question underneath all of it:Where exactly are we going?#WaitingForAscension #AscensionHour #Podcast #OklahomaPodcast #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Technology #Consciousness #FutureTechnology #BrainUploading #ArtificialWomb #PowerGrid #CyberSecurity #Surveillance #Military #War #China #Geopolitics #CrohnsDisease #Ostomy #MedicalStories #LindsayClancy #Humanity #Faith #Christianity

In this heartfelt episode, Jed welcomes back filmmaker and author David Soren to celebrate Visible: The Sort of True Story of a Not So Hidden Disease, the powerful follow-up to his middle grade novel Invisible. Drawing from his own experience growing up with Crohn's disease, David shares how his fictional stand-in, JJ Sugar, navigates life with his biker-beast disease, Norm, and how their relationship slowly shifts from fear and resentment toward understanding and even a kind of friendship. David and Jed talk about the many kids living with hidden diseases—conditions like Crohn's, diabetes, and other invisible illnesses that don't show on the outside but shape a child's daily life. David describes emotional school visits and a moving moment at Camp Oasis, where a young camper asked, "What if I like my disease?"—a question that perfectly captures the heart of these books. The conversation also explores parental illness through David's father's experience with throat cancer, and how families can talk honestly with kids while modeling resilience and self-advocacy. Along the way, David reflects on turning pain into story, the joy of creating Norm, and the hope that Invisible and Visible will help kids and families feel seen, understood, and a little less alone.  We close the show by welcoming Christal M Cherry to celebrate her picture book Mac & Cheese, Being Different Is OK. In this wonderful story we meet Mac, a unique kid who is ready to make new friends! But when he tries to play with the other kids, they are rude and tease him. Mac is devastated until he finds a new friend that is a little different too.

What if managing Crohn's disease isn't only about treating symptoms, but understanding the deeper factors that may be affecting your gut health?In this episode of the Elemental Evan Show, I sit down with Dane Johnson, founder of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle, to talk about his personal journey with Crohn's disease and the lifestyle changes that transformed the way he approached his health.We go beyond the typical conversation about medications and restrictive diets and explore the bigger picture of gut health, inflammation, nutrition, stress, the gut-brain connection, lifestyle, and finding your individual path toward better health.Dane shares what he learned through his own experience with Crohn's, the mistakes he made early on, and why he believes we need to look deeper than symptoms when addressing chronic digestive conditions.In this episode, we discuss:• Dane's journey with Crohn's disease and his lowest point• The difference between managing symptoms and addressing potential root causes• The gut-brain connection and the role of stress• How nutrition and diet can influence gut health• Why there is no one-size-fits-all diet for everyone with Crohn's• The relationship between inflammation, lifestyle, and digestive health• The role of mindset in living with chronic illness• How to approach conventional medicine alongside lifestyle changes• Why fear around food can become its own problem• What Dane wishes he knew when he was first diagnosed• How to rebuild trust in your body• Practical steps for someone newly diagnosed with Crohn's or IBDWhether you're living with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, IBS, digestive issues, or simply want to improve your gut health, this conversation offers a different perspective on the connection between what we eat, how we live, how we think, and how we feel.- My Go-To Supplements

Find Rocky Lalvani @ www.ProfitComesFirst.com  or email him at rocky@profitcomesfirst.com Make more, work less video: https://youtu.be/   A professor at Wharton once told a C-minus undergrad: don't ever be irreplaceable, because if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted. That undergrad is now Ari Meisel, founder of Less Doing and creator of the Replaceable Founder framework, and he's spent fifteen years proving the same rule applies to founders. Most owners wear "nobody else can do this but me" as a badge of honor. This episode makes the case that it's actually the ceiling on the business. Ari and Rocky get into exactly how an owner gets out of that seat: the order of operations for deciding what to fix, automate, or hand off, the twenty-task inventory Ari uses to force real change within a year, and the specific dollar numbers behind doing it, including replacing a $235-an-hour bookkeeper and finding $140,000 in grants a nonprofit never had the capacity to chase.   In This Episode: Why being indispensable is a ceiling, not an achievement The exact order: optimize, automate, then outsource, and why skipping steps backfires The Ultimate KPI exercise: twenty tasks in, sixteen gone within a year, four that are actually yours Why most failed delegation is a failed instruction, not a broken system How Ari runs twenty-six AI agents across five organizations, and what each one replaced The verification habit ("pokayoke") that keeps delegation, human or AI, honest   Key Takeaways: Being irreplaceable isn't safety. It's a ceiling. List the twenty things you spend the most time on, and commit to eliminating sixteen within a year. Fix the process before you automate it, and automate it before you hire it out. Every delegated task, human or AI, needs a built-in check that it actually happened. Staying the bottleneck has a real cost: banks, buyers, and your own household can't tell what the business is worth if nothing works without you.   About Ari Meisel: Ari Meisel is the founder of Less Doing and creator of the Replaceable Founder framework — a system that helps entrepreneurs build businesses that run without them. After being diagnosed with Crohn's disease at 23, Ari became obsessed with optimizing, automating, and outsourcing everything — first his health, then his business. Today he works with founders to eliminate operational bottlenecks, reclaim their time, and build companies that scale without sacrificing their life. His work has been featured in the New York Times, Forbes, and Fast Company. He's the author of Less Doing, More Living and hosts the Less Doing podcast.   Links: Website: www.talktoari.com.    lessdoing.ai    Profit Blueprint Calculator I Profit Comes First: https://lp.profitcomesfirst.com/profitblueprintcalc-page   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

What if the foods you believe are nourishing your gut are actually preventing it from healing?   Monika Holland knows what it feels like to be told there are no options left. After years of debilitating illness, she was diagnosed with life-threatening Crohn's disease and given just months to live. Today, she helps people with some of the most severe digestive, neurological, and autoimmune conditions recover through the GAPS protocol—and a little-known therapeutic approach called No Plant GAPS.   In this first of a two-part conversation, Monika shares her remarkable healing story and explains why Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride developed No Plant GAPS for those with the most damaged digestive systems. She discusses why meat stock—not bone broth—is the foundation of healing, how the protocol aims to repair the gut lining and restore the microbiome, and why temporarily removing plant foods may help some people recover from chronic illness.   Monika also addresses common concerns about nutrient deficiencies, explains the concept of metabolic flexibility, shares dramatic recovery stories from her clinical practice, and discusses the powerful connection between emotional healing and physical health.   Whether you're struggling with digestive problems yourself or simply want to better understand the therapeutic side of the GAPS protocol, this episode offers a fascinating look at one practitioner's approach to restoring health from the inside out.   In Part 2, we'll explore another important piece of the healing journey: therapeutic enemas, detoxification, and practical strategies for continuing recovery.   WAPF Ad- Membership: Visit westonaprice.org and click on the "member yet" button.

Dane breaks down practical, kid-friendly strategies including customized elemental smoothies, the power of broccoli sprouts and microgreens, acacia fiber, and why reducing water intake during meals matters. He also shares his powerful "30-day challenge": only eat what you cook, track your symptoms in a healing journal, and focus first on what you're *not* doing before overwhelming yourself with what you are. This episode is a must-listen for any family navigating IBD, IBS, or chronic gut issues — offering real hope, simple action steps, and the empowering message that healing is possible, and you can end up healthier than the healthy. *Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.* --- Learn more about Dr. Madiha Saeed at https://holisticmommd.com, or follow her on social media @HolisticMomMD

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving into a series of fascinating updates that are shaping the future of medicine and patient care. First on our agenda is uniQure's ambitious step toward accelerated U.S. marketing approval for AMT-130, a gene therapy targeting Huntington's disease. This move signifies a potential breakthrough in treating rare neurological disorders with genetic roots. The approval of AMT-130 would highlight gene therapy's transformative power, not just for Huntington's disease but also for a broader range of genetic conditions, offering hope to patients where traditional treatments have fallen short. In the realm of oncology, Summit Therapeutics, in collaboration with Akeso, has reported that their bispecific antibody ivonescimab has surpassed Merck's Keytruda in a Phase 3 trial for non-small cell lung cancer. The trial revealed superior overall survival and progression-free survival rates, marking a significant milestone in cancer treatment. Bispecific antibodies like ivonescimab open new avenues for targeting multiple pathways simultaneously, potentially leading to more effective therapies with reduced side effects. Collaboration continues to be a pivotal strategy in drug development. GSK and Hutchmed have formed a licensing agreement for HMPL-A830, an innovative cancer therapy. This partnership involves an upfront payment of $110 million, with the potential to reach $1.3 billion based on performance milestones. Such alliances highlight the importance of strategic partnerships in accelerating therapeutic advancements and expanding the arsenal of available cancer treatments. Moving to regulatory milestones, Samsung Bioepis has secured approval in Japan for its biosimilar ustekinumab, aimed at treating moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease by targeting IL-12/IL-23 pathways. This approval is part of a larger trend towards biosimilars as cost-effective alternatives to biologics, increasing access to essential treatments for autoimmune diseases. In cardiovascular health, Everest Medicines has received China NMPA approval for Cardamyst (etripamil), a self-administered nasal spray for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. The approval underscores innovations in patient-centric drug delivery systems that offer easier administration methods and empower patients to manage their conditions effectively. On the business front, Fortrea has acquired Worldwide Clinical Trials' early-phase division for $45 million. This acquisition aims to bolster Fortrea's clinical research organization platform, reflecting the growing demand for comprehensive clinical pharmacology services that can accelerate drug development timelines. Meanwhile, Pfizer's divestment of its Seagen antibody-drug conjugate PF-08046031 to Medicus Pharma in a deal exceeding $1 billion exemplifies strategic realignments within large pharmaceutical companies. These transactions allow companies to streamline operations and focus on core therapeutic areas where they can make the most impact. Research advancements are also making headlines as Revolution Medicines reports promising Phase 1/2 data for Rasonque (daraxonrasib) in NSCLC patients with KRAS mutations. KRAS has been notoriously difficult to target, so these findings highlight Rasonque's potential as a breakthrough small molecule therapy addressing critical needs in oncology. Despite these strides forward, challenges remain evident. Ultragenyx's GTX-102 did not meet primary or secondary endpoints in its Phase 3 Angelman syndrome study. This setback highlights the complexities involved in developing effective treatments for rare neurological conditions and underscores the inherent risks in high-stakes clinical trials. Turning our attention back to regulatory dynamics, FDA deliberations over Replimune's melanoma treatment revealed nuanced decision-making processes balancing clinical evaluation with strategic considerations. Even amidst internal disagreements, FDA leadership endorsed an accelerated nod for Replimune's therapy—an illustration of how complex these processes can be. In terms of funding innovation, ARPA-H's substantial $125 million investment into personalized RNA-based drug production reflects a commitment to advancing RNA therapeutics despite recent challenges. The initiative could become a catalyst for new approaches in personalized medicine by leveraging RNA technologies to tailor treatments more precisely to individual profiles. Additionally, Roche is making headway in obesity treatment with its UCN2 analog, which shows promise in reducing weight without sacrificing lean muscle mass—an essential factor given obesity's global health implications. This development may introduce new mechanisms of action that could revolutionize existing therapies by overcoming metabolic challenges inherent in obesity treatment. Overall, these developments underscore a dynamic period within the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors characterized by rapid scientific progress and strategic realignments responding to evolving market demands. As companies navigate these changes, their ability to leverage new technologies and refine their strategic focus will be crucial in maintaining competitive advantage and driving future growth—all while aiming to improve patient outcomes globally.Support the show

In this Supplement Ingredient Series episode, Nurse Doza makes the case for the B vitamin nobody talks about: vitamin B6. Everyone knows B12 — the pills, the injections, the whole routine — but B6 is the cofactor your body leans on to build serotonin, dopamine, and GABA, the neurotransmitters behind mood, focus, and steady daytime energy. He covers who tends to run low, why intake alone doesn't guarantee good status, and where an adaptogen-plus-adrenal formula like Zen fits in. FEATURED PARTNER Zen (Stress Relief) by MSW Nutrition is the formula Nurse Doza reaches for when the B6 conversation turns practical. Each capsule delivers 15 mg of vitamin B6 as P5P — the already-active form your enzymes can use directly — alongside 125 mg of bovine adrenal gland (Argentina) and a five-botanical adaptogen blend: rhodiola, Asian ginseng, eleuthero, schisandra, and licorice, plus vitamin C and 150 mg of pantothenic acid. It's built to support the body's adaptogenic response to everyday stressors and support energy production and stamina.

Why does the immune system cause inflammation in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis? And what do the gut microbiome, intestinal lining, and genetics have to do with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)? In this episode of the Gastro Girl Podcast, host Jacqueline Gaulin talks with gastroenterologist and IBD expert Dr. Colleen Kelly about the important connection between the gut and immune system in IBD. Dr. Kelly explains how Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are immune-mediated diseases, why the immune system becomes involved in intestinal inflammation, and how interactions among the immune system, gut lining, genetics, and the trillions of microorganisms that make up the gut microbiome may contribute to IBD. You'll learn: How the immune system and digestive tract normally work together What happens to the immune response in IBD Why inflammation develops in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis How the intestinal barrier, or gut lining, fits into the picture What scientists understand about the gut microbiome and IBD Why IBD involves much more than digestive symptoms How understanding the biology of IBD can help you have more informed conversations with your healthcare team Whether you've recently been diagnosed with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, are living with IBD, or are supporting someone who is, this patient-focused conversation provides an accessible foundation for understanding what is happening inside the body and why it matters for managing IBD. This educational initiative is sponsored by Merck.  

In this episode, Haylie Pomroy is joined by Dane Johnson, founder and CEO of CrohnsColitisLifestyle, to explore what's really driving the rise in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and why healing inflammatory bowel disease often requires going far deeper than a diagnosis or a diet. Dane shares his own decade-long fight with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, why conventional treatment protocols and quick-fix diets failed him, and how rebuilding his health required addressing root causes like microbiome disruption, environmental toxins, and endotoxin overload. Together, they break down the symptom differences between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, the role of stress and the nervous system in gut healing, and why community and belief are just as critical to recovery as nutrition and supplementation. Discover why inflammatory bowel disease is rarely just a gut problem, and how a root cause approach can offer a path forward for anyone stuck cycling through diets, medications, and diagnoses, here on Fast Metabolism Matters.   If your body feels like it's running on empty, overburdened, or just not responding the way it used to, Haylie's latest book, Toxic Overload, tells you exactly what to do.

You'd think a 100% terminal diagnosis leaves you only one path, but Jordan Rubin proved otherwise, twice. I sat down with him to unpack how he clawed back from 104 pounds and 69 failed doctors with Crohn's at 19, then beat a 90-day cancer death sentence at 33, and the raw dairy, ancestral-eating, and faith-first framework that came out of both.

Chronic bloating is one of the most frustrating gut health symptoms—especially when you've already eliminated gluten, dairy, sugar, processed foods, or other suspected triggers and still feel swollen after meals. In this episode of ReversABLE, Josh Dech explores the potential contributors to persistent bloating and why simply removing more foods may not always address the root cause. The conversation examines five food categories discussed in the episode: gluten and refined carbohydrates, dairy, sugar alcohols and artificial sweeteners, ultra-processed "health foods," and highly fermentable foods such as legumes and cruciferous vegetables. The discussion then moves beyond diet into the mechanisms that may contribute to chronic digestive symptoms. These include stomach acid and digestion, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), gut motility, the gut-brain connection, stress, and the relationship between the nervous system and digestive function. A central theme is the idea of looking beyond individual foods toward the broader gut health "terrain"—including the microbiome, digestive function, nutritional status, inflammation, and other factors that may influence how someone responds to food. The episode is particularly relevant for people dealing with ongoing bloating alongside IBS or other chronic digestive complaints who feel as though they've already tried every elimination diet available. Josh also discusses why some foods commonly promoted as healthy can be difficult to tolerate during periods of digestive distress, and why personalized assessment can be more useful than endlessly restricting the diet. Importantly, several physiological and treatment-related claims made in the episode should be interpreted in the context of current medical evidence rather than as universal explanations for bloating.

Krista Tate recently moved to St. George from Utah Valley and is excited to begin a new chapter. A wife, mother of three, and grandmother of four, she enjoyed being active when she was young, though organized sports were never part of her life growing up. In her thirties, shortly after the birth of her youngest child, she was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Years of fatigue, inflammation, and medication made everyday activities challenging, and she wondered if those limitations would define the rest of her life. While these symptoms diminished over time, she still wasn't very active for over a decade.Everything changed when a friend invited her to try high-intensity circuit training at her gym at age 48. As her strength and confidence grew, so did her belief that she could accomplish difficult things. Since then, she has completed multiple Grand Canyon Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim hikes, hiked Half Dome despite a fear of heights, learned to ski at age 52, and even gone skydiving twice. Krista's story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to rediscover your potential and embrace new adventures.Send us Fan Mail

When you decide to grab a bite to eat, do you think about how to feed your gut microbes? Most of us don't. Even if we did, their only means of stating their preferences is somewhat after the fact. Do you end up feeling less than well? Perhaps the denizens of your gut aren't happy. In this episode, we consider how to support your microbiota and whether that can reduce the inflammation that seems to accompany modern life. At The People's Pharmacy, we strive to bring you up‑to‑date, rigorously researched insights and conversations about health, medicine, wellness and health policies and health systems.

Feed Your Gut Right to Fight Inflammation Dr. Will Bulsiewicz is a gastroenterologist who urges all of us to focus on a healthful fiber-rich plant-strong diet to maintain our microbiome in good shape. He has described his own evolution from a busy medical student relying heavily on processed food products to a whole-food plant-based enthusiast. Eating a wide variety of plants is one of the easiest ways to make sure we are getting the nutrients our gut microbes need. Why are the trillions of microbes in our large intestine so important? Dr. Bulsiewicz (aka Dr. B.) shares the story of a patient who was overwhelmed by a serious C. diff infection. A course of clindamycin for a skin infection had decimated her normal microbiome and left an open field for C. diff to flourish. Instead of treating her with surgery and even more potent antibiotics, Dr. B. and his colleagues utilized a fecal transplant. She got poop from a healthy person into her colon and left the hospital a few days later in good health herself. What Is the Link Between the Microbiome and the Immune System? Inflammation is one of the primary signs that the immune system has gone into action to fight off a perceived foe. There is a close relationship between the gut microbes, the gut barrier and the cells of the immune system. Between 70 and 80 percent of immune system cells are present in the gut (Nutrients, March 9, 2021).  There is just one layer of cells in the gut barrier, firmly attached to each other through tight junctions. If those tight junctions break down, pathogens and toxins can get from the gut into the bloodstream and activate the immune system into creating inflammation Medicines That Harm the Intestinal Barrier Diets that are high in salt have a negative impact on the integrity of the intestinal barrier (Nutrients, Nov. 25, 2025). In fact, a diet high in salt can reduce the number of Lactobacilli in the gut by 90%. This also affects the permeability of the gut barrier, which can contribute to auto-immune conditions. When we asked about inflammatory bowel disorders such as Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis, Dr. B. told us he thinks it's a mistake to classify them as auto-immune conditions. Instead, he suggests we should consider these conditions as due to the immune system rejecting the microbiome. Some of them might be initiated and perpetuated by failures in the gut barrier that allow certain organisms or their toxins into systemic circulation. A number of medications can also harm it, most notably the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Agents like ibuprofen, naproxen, celecoxib and meloxicam may disrupt the tight junctions that keep the intestinal barrier intact (Gastroenterology, Feb. 2018).  In some cases, they may also upset the balance of microbes. Four Keys to an Anti-Inflammatory Diet There are several different dietary patterns that allow you to feed your gut and fight inflammation. Good evidence supports a DASH diet, a Mediterranean diet, pescatarian, flexitarian, vegetarian and some vegan diets. We asked Dr. B. to summarize the four features healthful eating patterns share. They include adequate fiber, plenty of polyphenols, healthy fat and fermented foods (think of sauerkraut or kimchi). Fiber and Flatulence One drawback of a high-fiber diet is that when microbes in the colon ferment the fiber we can't digest, they produce gases. It has to go somewhere, or it will cause sensations of cramping and bloating. Consequently, fiber is often associated with flatulence. Dr. B. suggests that there may be more gas, and it may be loud, but it shouldn't be stinky. Smelly farts are born of sulfur, which is more common in a diet containing garlic, onions, crucifers like broccoli or cabbage, fish, eggs or meat. Plant-Powered Plus We wondered what might be included in the “plus” category when you feed your gut and fight inflammation. Dr. B. offers a few things that you might not expect in a book about diet, but they are related to reducing inflammation. One is to go outside early in the day, every day, to get your circadian rhythm in sync. Another is to maintain your emotional connections with family and friends. Still another, just as important, is to nurture your spiritual core. This Week’s Guest Dr. Will Bulsiewicz describes how a plant-powered diet can fight inflammation Will Bulsiewicz, MD, is a New York Times bestselling author, award-winning gastroenterologist and internationally recognized health expert. Dr. Bulsiewicz directs the Gut & Microbiome Center for Excellence, a physician-led executive medicine and telemedicine practice based in Mount Pleasant, SC.

If you want to feed your gut to encourage certain microbes, remember that consistency is crucial. You can't eat a specific food once and expect it to make a difference.

What if some of the organisms we've been taught to eradicate might actually play a role in regulating the human immune system? Autumn is sitting down with Kyla of Let's Heal IBD to explore one of the most unconventional therapies we've discussed yet: helminthic therapy, the controlled introduction of specific intestinal worms. After years of living with severe Crohn's disease, Kyla had endured chronic diarrhea, bleeding, extreme food intolerances, vomiting, multiple surgeries, abscesses, a fistula, and periods when simply eating became incredibly difficult. She tried dietary changes, stress reduction, meditation, yoga, and other approaches, but says her health continued to deteriorate.  Then she discovered helminthic therapy. Kyla shares why she decided to intentionally introduce specific species of intestinal worms into her body, what happened over the following months, and how she eventually reached clinical remission from Crohn's disease, according to her medical testing. In this episode, we discuss: What helminthic therapy actually is Why not every organism classified as a "parasite" behaves the same way The proposed relationship between helminths and immune regulation How modern sanitation may have changed our exposure to intestinal worms Kyla's 13-year journey with Crohn's disease Her experience with surgeries, abscesses, fistulas, food intolerances, bleeding, and chronic digestive symptoms Why dietary changes alone did not resolve her Crohn's symptoms The specific helminths used therapeutically How helminths are introduced into the body  Why Kyla believes modern humans may be missing an important piece of their ancestral gut ecosystem Resources Mentioned  Helminthic Therapy Wiki A community-created resource for information and personal experiences surrounding helminthic therapy.  Helminthic Therapy Facebook Support Group A community where people interested in helminthic therapy share experiences and resources. Kyla also offers a free Helminthic Therapy How-To Guide through her Let's Heal IBD platform. Reach out to her on Instgram to request that.  ✴️ Connect with Kyla on Instagram or Substack

Sorg and Dave Podnar are back for another AwesomeCast packed with Pittsburgh tech, gaming, streaming, photography, AI, retro media, and a surprisingly practical app for finding a bathroom when you really need one. The episode starts locally with Dave highlighting Stormfreak, a Pittsburgh-area weather enthusiast who has built a following on Reddit by offering practical, level-headed forecasts without the sensationalism that often accompanies severe weather coverage. That leads into a bigger conversation about how Reddit, YouTube, and independent creators increasingly fill information gaps once occupied by traditional specialty television. Sorg then takes a trip back to the video-store era with Binge Buster, a web experience that lets users browse movies available on their existing streaming subscriptions in an interface inspired by wandering through the shelves of a physical rental store. Gaming takes over a large part of the conversation, including EA going private in a massive Saudi-backed deal, Netflix getting an extended GTA 6 preview, Atari showing signs of financial improvement, the possibility of accessing Xbox and PC Game Pass titles on Linux and Mac through the XODUS project, new content for the original Quake, and Sorg's experience comparing Xbox cloud gaming with NVIDIA GeForce NOW. Then things get weird in the best possible way: Diablo is heading to amusement-park Halloween events, while a permanent Freddy Fazbear's Pizza experience complete with animatronics is planned for American Dream. Dave also shares his latest experience with Adobe Project Indigo, including computational photography, AI photo critiques, and the increasingly blurry line between traditional editing and generative AI. The episode wraps with two ideas that bring physical experiences back into a digital world: Pittsburgh's Lost Lizard renting VHS, DVD, and even Betamax tapes, and Nature Calls Run, an upcoming crowdsourced app designed to help runners, cyclists, travelers, and people with medical needs locate bathrooms, water, and other resources. Stories, Gadgets & Topics Discussed 300–600mm iPhone zoom lens — Dave points listeners toward iPhonography Podcast co-host Greg McMillan's detailed look at an enormous telephoto solution for iPhone photography. Stormfreak and Pittsburgh weather on Reddit — Dave highlights the local forecaster's calm, practical approach to Pittsburgh weather and the community that has formed around his posts. They discuss how independent online weather coverage can sometimes be more useful than national television coverage when people need highly local information. The changing role of specialty media — Sorg and Dave compare today's creator-driven information sources with the original promise of channels like The Weather Channel, Discovery, TLC, and Food Network. Binge Buster — Sorg tries a streaming discovery site that recreates some of the experience of browsing a video store. Users select the streaming services they already subscribe to and browse movies through virtual box art, descriptions, genres, trailers, staff picks, and more. https://bingebuster.net/ Awesome Person of the Week: Lewis Latimer — Dave profiles the inventor, draftsman, engineer, and patent expert whose work intersected with both Alexander Graham Bell's telephone patent and the development of more durable electric-light filaments. Slice on Broadway pizza sauce — Dave discovers jars of Slice on Broadway's original pizza sauce while shopping at Labriola's Italian Market. EA goes private — Chachi's Video Game Minute covers EA completing its reported $55 billion sale to a Saudi-backed buyer and what private ownership might mean for the future of EA's games and monetization. Netflix and GTA 6 — Netflix is set to feature an extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI on August 27, prompting discussion about whether GTA really needs any additional publicity. Atari's financial comeback — Atari reports its strongest annual revenue in roughly a decade, giving Sorg and Dave an opportunity to talk about the strange history of the Atari name, its changing ownership, and the collection of gaming properties associated with it over the years. Xbox games potentially coming to Linux and Mac through XODUS — Sorg discusses an open-source reverse-engineering project designed to make compatible Xbox and PC titles accessible beyond Windows, including the possibility of accessing portions of a user's existing Microsoft gaming library. Xbox backward compatibility — The conversation touches on original Xbox and Xbox 360 games potentially becoming increasingly accessible through Microsoft's PC ecosystem. New Quake content decades later — Quake continues receiving new content around its 30th anniversary, giving players another reason to revisit the classic first-person shooter. NVIDIA GeForce NOW vs. Xbox cloud gaming — Sorg compares his experience streaming games like Doom: The Dark Ages and Forza Horizon, finding GeForce NOW's higher-end hardware particularly impressive for demanding, fast-moving games. Do you still need a gaming PC? — Cloud gaming raises a bigger question: if a service already supports hundreds of games in your library and provides continuously upgraded hardware, does spending thousands on a dedicated gaming PC still make sense? Diablo invades Cedar Point and Six Flags — Blizzard's Diablo becomes part of the Halloween amusement-park experience, leading to a conversation about licensed haunted attractions and the changing amusement-park industry. Cedar Fair/Six Flags consolidation and disappearing amusement parks — Dave looks back at the history of older amusement parks, including Pittsburgh-area memories of White Swan Park and the larger trend of parks disappearing as land was redeveloped. Freddy Fazbear's Pizza becomes real — A permanent Freddy Fazbear's Pizza experience featuring animatronic stage shows is planned for American Dream in 2027. Naturally, Sorg and Dave wonder whether anybody involved has actually learned the lesson of Five Nights at Freddy's. American Dream as the modern destination mall — The conversation expands into how malls are evolving from shopping centers into entertainment destinations with theme parks, water parks, skiing, restaurants, attractions, wrestling events, and other experiences. Adobe Project Indigo — Dave continues experimenting with Adobe's computational photography app, particularly challenging lighting situations and shooting directly toward a sunset. AI-powered photography reviews — Project Indigo can analyze a photo and provide feedback, giving photographers another way to evaluate composition and possible improvements. When an AI edit becomes a different photograph — Dave demonstrates an AI edit that substantially changes clouds and the sky, prompting an important conversation about the difference between enhancing a photograph and generating new visual information. AI quietly becoming another editing tool — Sorg shares his experience using AI to quickly create client graphics and discusses how generative tools increasingly feel less like a separate novelty and more like another part of a production workflow. Lost Lizard brings video rentals back to Pittsburgh — A Lawrenceville business is renting VHS tapes, DVDs, Betamax tapes, and even retro video games. The concept triggers plenty of nostalgia for independent video stores and their wonderfully strange horror collections. Physical media versus digital ownership — Reports of purchased digital movies disappearing from user libraries lead to a larger discussion about what consumers actually own when they "buy" a digital movie. Movies Anywhere and fragmented digital libraries — Sorg discusses the usefulness of synchronizing eligible purchases across services while acknowledging that licensing can still make digital ownership complicated. Maybe it's time to buy DVDs again — The uncertainty of digital licenses gives physical media another unexpected advantage: nobody can remotely remove a disc from your shelf. Nature Calls Run — An upcoming Pittsburgh-created app will crowdsource public restrooms, water sources, and other useful resources for runners, cyclists, travelers, parents, and anyone suddenly asking the most important question of the day: "Where can I go?" https://naturecallsapp.com/ Restroom access as an accessibility and medical issue — The app also plans to educate users about restroom-access laws affecting people with conditions including Crohn's disease and IBS. GCXC running events — Dave also discusses upcoming Pittsburgh-area races and the community surrounding GCXC events. https://gcxc.com/events-pa Support AwesomeCast: https://www.patreon.com/awesomecast

This week we talk about Evo 2, bacteriophages, and antibiotics.We also discuss AI models, medical innovations, and the Red Army.Recommended Book: The Design of Everyday Things by Donald A. NormanTranscriptA bacteriophage, sometimes just called a phage, is a type of virus that only infects bacteria. “Phage” means to devour, and that's what bacteriophages do—they infect and replicate within bacteria that they target, injecting their own genome into that target's cytoplasm, which are all the materials contained within the bacteria's cell membrane.Phages are super-abundant, by some measures more abundant than every living organism, including bacteria, on earth, combined. And they're interesting in that they range from incredibly simple to quite complex, and have at times been used as alternatives to antibiotics, because they attack and feed on bacteria.The use of phages to counter bacterial infections was all but abandoned in the mid-20th century when antibiotics were discovered and commercialized, their production industrialized and the substances themselves proving a lot easier to mass-produce, and a lot more predictable in their utility than phages. Phages were kinda sorta almost understood, but we didn't really get what they were doing or why, so their application often felt more like folk remedies than real-deal science, despite the actual science underlying the practice.Also, phages were primarily used as antibiotic treatments by the Red Army, the Soviet Union's military. So throughout the West, which was rapidly scaling its production of antibiotic treatments, the use of bacteriophages was associated with Stalinist communism, and so the Red-scare, the demonization of anything associated with the Soviet Union, was partially responsible for the shelving of this approach and this realm of research, at least for a while.Much of that existing research was also done in the Soviet Union, and the published documents were thus published in Russian or Georgian languages. And because much of the rest of the scientific publishing world was reorienting around English at this time, that meant these published works were often either ignored or unintelligible to the rest of the scientific community.As with much of our microbiota, the invisibly small viruses, bacteria, archaea, and so on that make up the human microbiome, we have a general sense of how bacteriophages interact with some of what makes us, us, but only a general sense. We know that healthy individuals tend to contain a host of bacteriophages that people who have chronic conditions, like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis are less likely to have, for instance, and there's a chance that this lack is associated with those conditions—though each person's body composition is unique, and this facet of biology is still relatively obscure; we really don't know for certain what does what, because of how complex these interactions are.What I'd like to talk about today is a recent development in the world of bacteriophages, and why the researchers behind it are both celebrating their accomplishment, and warning about potential dangers associated with the same.—Back in 2025, a nonprofit called the Arc Institute, which has a stated goal of accelerating scientific progress and understanding the root causes of complex diseases, announced the release of a new language model, a new AI system, called Evo 2.The Evo family of foundation models—a foundation model being a type of AI model that's been trained on a huge corpus of data, but which is applicable for all sorts of purposes, including serving as the foundation of large-language models like ChatGPT or Claude—this family of foundation models is open-source and trained on raw genetic sequences, something like nine trillion nucleotides-worth of such sequences, making it distinct from other models in this space that have been trained on descriptions of biological systems, using human language.The initial version of Evo was released in early 2024, and the newest version, Evo 2, which is an upgraded version of the Evo 2 model that is more efficient, so it can be run on less powerful hardware, was released in February of 2026.So while many of the AI systems that non-biologists interact with on a regular basis have been trained on human language-based libraries, showing relationships and interactions between the words we use to communicate, these models have been trained on the fundamental building blocks of life; the nucleotides, Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine, ATCG of DNA, if you remember that from biology class, that are strung together into 64 different possible three-letter combinations. Chains of these nucleotides instruct cells to build proteins out of amino acids, and from that baseline, we get life.We also get non-living things like viruses, which have no cells, metabolism, or independent reproduction, and phages are viruses.And while other AI models have been shown to be great at designing proteins, before 2025 there was little evidence that such systems could design viable genomes: the combination of genetic information that makes up a complete, fully functional organism.That's what Arc decided to tackle with this Evo AI model. And back in 2025, Arc announced that it had successfully validated the first viable genome designs, created using generative AI.These designs were for 16 bacteriophages, which were modeled on a virus that infects E. coli bacteria, and some of them worked just as well or better at infecting E. coli when compared to the actual, real-world phage they were modeled on. They were produced in the real world, a bacteria coaxed into producing them, and then they went on to successfully gobble up the E. coli test subjects they were meant to gobble up, demonstrating that they worked in practice, not just theory.And a new paper published in early August of 2026 by the Arc Institute and Stanford University expounds upon this research, showing the results of an attempt to create entirely new viruses, not just altered existing viruses.Rather than mutating that E. coli gobbling phage, as with the last experiment, tweaking an existing virus, this time they tasked Evo 2 with modeling how that E. coli attacking and eating process works, and then told it to come up with entirely new viruses that operate on the same premise, but which are structured differently; new viruses that eat the same thing in a similar way, but which are distinct from the original model.Ultimately, it gave them 16 viable viruses of very different sizes and structure, all of which were created in a lab and successfully ate the targeted E. coli strain, as intended.This is being seen as a pretty big deal, because while creating viruses in a lab is very modern technology, and mutating those viruses shows a lot of potential for manipulating what we already know works and then tweaking virus behaviors to, perhaps, help us create new medical treatments, the ability to generate, from scratch, entirely new viruses that hold together, with genomes that don't just fall apart when they come into contact with the real world, and which can still do things, like attack bacteria—that opens a lot of new doors, potentially giving us the ability to say, okay, this bacteria is no longer responding to antibacterial drugs that we have available, so let's make a virus that will kill the bacteria instead, and let's make one that won't harm the human that's housing that bacteria.We might also be able to create phages that eat other things, or which in some other way help the human body, or other biological entities, fight off chronic conditions, or recover or rebalance; there's a lot of potential here, because this suggests AI systems trained on the right materials, on the building blocks of life, could generate all sorts of viable biological systems that we can then actually create. It's a huge step forward, compared to systems that are also impressive, but which mostly help us understand the biological world better—like Alphafold, which solved the protein folding problem.Those involved with this research have also been been flagging potential dangers with this development, though, including the potential for creating new viruses and other biological systems that could trigger unpredictable outcomes in other biological systems. There are a lot of potential hazards with this sort of research, and they've been very careful up till this point, sticking with test subjects that only target E. coli, but not everyone will necessarily be so careful, which might mean accidents, or it could mean people with less than benevolent intentions using these techniques to develop highly infectious viruses or other such pathogens; starting from smallpox to produce even more contagious and deadly ailments, for instance.The optimistic view of this research is that it could contribute to the surge in new discoveries and technologies that we're seeing around the world right now, that are resulting in new medical approaches and in some cases entirely new medical fields, which could help us do all sorts of things, including big-sky ambitions like curing cancer and doing away with chronic illnesses entirely.Like most major scientific developments, though, these are also big developments for those who might want to do harm, and it also creates new opportunities for very serious, dangerous, deadly accidents, which means we'll probably have to develop and implement more stringent safety protocols and regulatory efforts if we want to enjoy the full benefits of these innovations, without suffering significant new downsides, in the process.Show Noteshttps://press.asimov.com/articles/ai-phageshttps://arcinstitute.org/https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/aug/06/safety-fears-as-scientists-make-first-viruses-designed-by-aihttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y3j3ngevmohttps://www.cnn.com/2026/08/06/health/ai-viruses-bacteriophageshttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-07/ai-models-design-viruses-not-found-in-nature-for-first-time/107007854https://www.wired.com/story/scientists-used-ai-to-create-16-new-viruses/https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aec2657https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriophagehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evo_(AI)https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/science/ai-viruses-bacteria-arc.html This is a public episode.

Welcome back to Late Boomers! We're Cathy and Merry, and we're thrilled to bring you another inspiring and empowering episode that will challenge the way you think about your health, medications, and aging well.In this episode, we dive deep into the world of functional medicine with Jen Germain, a certified functional medicine health coach who has helped over 200 clients transform their lives through personalized lifestyle changes, nutrition, and whole-body healing. Jen brings her own powerful story of overcoming a daunting Crohn's diagnosis and shows us why a prescription for life doesn't have to be the final word.We open up the conversation about why so many of us end up on multiple medications as we age and why "managing symptoms" isn't the same as true healing. Together with Jen, we explore the surprising root causes of chronic illness that conventional medicine often overlooks, such as stress, poor sleep, and mindset, and learn actionable strategies for taking back control of our well-being.Whether you're struggling with a new diagnosis, feeling dismissed by conventional doctors, or just ready to create a new health chapter, this episode will give you hope, practical tools, and the motivation to be your own advocate.Key TakeawaysMedication is not always destiny: The conversation focused on how a chronic diagnosis does not mean you're sentenced to medication for life. Functional medicine investigates and addresses the root causes, not just the symptoms.Advocacy is essential: A key theme that emerged was the importance of self-advocacy in healthcare. The discussion explored sample questions to ask your physician and encouraged listeners not to settle if they feel dismissed or unheard.Lifestyle changes work: One concept discussed was the power of personalized changes in diet, stress management, relationships, sleep, and even light exposure. Small consistent changes can add up to big improvements—even later in life.Mindset matters: The discussion explored how mindset, self-talk, and beliefs (“I'll always be this way” or “I can't live without sugar”) can quietly sabotage healing. A positive mindset and self-love are critical to any health transformation.It's never too late: Several points were raised, including real-life examples from older adults who saw remarkable improvements in their health and quality of life proving it's never too late to start taking positive steps.If you've ever wondered if you could do more for your health or if “treating the root cause” instead of just managing symptoms sounds appealing this episode is for you!Be sure to:Listen now and become an active participant in your own healthcare journey.Share this episode with a friend or loved one who needs motivation or a fresh perspective.Subscribe to Late Boomers Podcast on your favorite platform and on YouTube so you never miss an inspiring conversation.Connect with Jen Germain at Compass Health Coaching LLC or find her on social media for more practical tips and support.Remember what we always say: It's never too late to rethink what's possible.

What if UFOs aren't extraterrestrials at all, but something far more profound?In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Chris Bledsoe (UFO experiencer known for his remarkable story of contact with unexplained phenomena, author of UFO of GOD) shares the full story behind his alleged contact with nonhuman intelligence, an encounter that transformed his life forever.After years of financial collapse, debilitating Crohn's disease, and personal despair, Chris claims he witnessed mysterious fireballs in the sky before being taken aboard a glowing "orb" or Tic Tac-shaped UAP. What began as a strange sighting quickly turned into a missing-time event in which he disappeared for four hours...only to return feeling as though no time had passed at all.The experience didn't just change his worldview - it miraculously cured his Crohn's disease and awakened an ability to heal others. Through hypnotherapy, he later recovered memories of what he describes as a guided "tour" of Earth and beyond, including encounters with the Egyptian pyramids, Mars, and revelations about humanity's place in the cosmos.Chris also recounts his encounters with mysterious portals and a divine feminine entity he calls "The Lady", experiences that he says attracted the attention of both government officials and representatives from the Vatican, leading to years of scrutiny and investigation.But the story doesn't end there.Chris reveals the five years of darkness that followed his encounter, how his life unraveled after speaking publicly about his experiences, and why those hardships ultimately strengthened his spiritual faith more than ever before. He also discusses continuing to witness these unexplained orbs to this day.Are UFOs aliens? Angels? Interdimensional beings? Spiritual entities? Chris shares what he believes UAPs truly are, and why he ultimately refuses to place a definitive label on the phenomenon.Chris also breaks down:- His traumatic childhood and two near death experiences that he believes prepared him for contact with the paranormal- Dramatic cultural shift from UFO ridicule to mainstream acceptance- Why he believes humanity is currently undergoing a global awakening- Future of telepathy, expanded consciousness, and "seeing without eyes"- Whether anyone can access the same spiritual abilities he claims to possess- How organized religion may limit humanity's direct connection to the divine- Why restoring the "divine feminine" is essential for humanity's future- How he manifests spiritual gifts and extraordinary experiences- Why he believes every person has the right to connect directly with GodWhether you view Chris Bledsoe as a mystic, experiencer, prophet, or one of the most fascinating figures in the UFO world, this conversation challenges conventional ideas about consciousness, spirituality, extraterrestrials, and humanity's future!Watch the Stuart Fails to Save the Universe Official Podcast on HBO Max, the HBO Max YouTube channel, or listen wherever you get your podcasts. https://link.mgln.ai/Stuart Feel less puffy, sluggish, and stiff with Lifepro.

The Rizzuto Show welcomes the Burton family into the studio for one of our favorite conversations of the year—a celebration of friendship, softball, community, and the legacy of our friend Jeff Burton.Jeff loved two things more than almost anything: his family and playing softball. Okay... maybe softball was tied for first. The guy practically lived at shortstop, and missing a game wasn't really in his vocabulary. After battling Crohn's disease and later cancer, Jeff's passion for helping others became just as legendary as his love of turning double plays.Now his family keeps that legacy alive with the annual 100 Innings Challenge, raising money for Siteman Cancer Center while giving everyone an excuse to spend an entire day playing softball, laughing with friends, eating great food, and yes... enjoying a little free beer along the way.This daily comedy show somehow manages to bounce between heartfelt stories and complete nonsense in record time. We learn how the event works, why anyone can play—even if your softball skills belong on the playground bench—and why Team Rizz will once again embarrass itself in public for a good cause.Melanie explains how solo players get matched onto teams, why the games move surprisingly fast, and how the Burton family somehow survives playing nearly half the innings themselves. Julie shares how the event began, the incredible support from the softball community, and why this year's move to Fenton helps honor Jeff's father and the Burton family's softball roots.Naturally, the conversation quickly derails into fake mustaches for underage beer drinkers, firefighters beating police officers, questionable coaching decisions from Rafe and Riz, dunk tanks, hepatitis jokes, and the realization that nobody listens to our coaching anyway.Whether you're planning to lace up your cleats or just show up to support an incredible cause, this episode reminds everyone that community events don't have to be boring—they can be hilarious, meaningful, and maybe just a little chaotic.It's another daily comedy show episode that perfectly captures why The Rizzuto Show has always been about more than just laughs. Sometimes it's about showing up for friends, keeping traditions alive, and helping make a difference while making fun of ourselves every step of the way.If you're anywhere near St. Louis on August 22, grab your team—or don't, because they'll find one for you—and come celebrate Jeff the way he'd want: with softball, laughter, cold drinks, and one ridiculously long day on the diamond.Thanks for listening to another daily comedy show from the crew that somehow turns charity softball into comedy gold.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It all starts innocently enough with a studio full of ponytails and a heated debate over whether the infamous 90s "butt cut" haircut deserves its comeback. Naturally, that conversation somehow turns into Jonathan Brandis nostalgia, Steven Seagal jokes, old-school Blockbuster memories, and the unmistakable smell of renting VHS tapes on a Friday night.From there, the crew dives headfirst into today's weirdest headlines. They react to shocking wildfire stories overseas, discuss why nostalgia keeps pulling everyone back toward analog experiences, and break down one of the internet's biggest viral hiking rescues after a woman had to be airlifted from Yosemite. The conversation becomes equal parts funny, sympathetic, and completely derailed—as only this crew can manage.Then comes the travel story nobody was emotionally prepared for.Let's just say a beach rope swing, a vacation in Honduras, and one incredibly unfortunate landing create what may be one of the most unbelievable medical stories the show has covered in a long time. If you've already heard people mention "the grapefruit story," yes... this is that episode.Along the way you'll also get movie talk, Christopher Nolan hype, Odyssey ticket frustrations, classic movie nostalgia, sarcastic observations about adulthood, and the kind of random conversations that somehow only make sense when the Rizz Show is having them.A debate over why Trader Joe's chocolate bread somehow smells exactly like chicken fingers while someone cracks open a Celsius and declares they're about to get "lit." From there, the rails disappear completely.The crew tackles one of humanity's most important questions: if civilization collapses tomorrow, who are you bringing with you? A combat medic? Engineer? Farmer? Navy SEAL? Jason Statham because apparently he's every profession? Or maybe just Monica Bellucci because if the world's ending, why not shoot your shot? Before long they're debating swimming zombies, Walking Dead logic, World War Z speed rankings, kayaks, Mississippi escape routes, island survival, and whether doctors or mechanics are the true MVPs of the apocalypse.Tom Jones' family drama sparks a genuine discussion about fathers and responsibility before everyone gets distracted trying to determine what people actually call Tom Jones' famously enormous... reputation. Jimmy Buffett fans get some good news, Quiet Riot looks for a singer, ZZ Top reshuffles tour dates, and the crew debates whether fans are owed the original lead singer at every concert.A celebration of friendship, softball, community, and the legacy of our friend Jeff Burton.Jeff loved two things more than almost anything: his family and playing softball. Okay... maybe softball was tied for first. The guy practically lived at shortstop, and missing a game wasn't really in his vocabulary.

Trent and Matt chat with Chad Alder, newly hired general manager of Born and Raised Outdoors and the first GM not named Trent, who is away at the Hoodoo bow shoot. Chad discusses joining a strong company community, his initial focus on learning the business through risk analysis and identifying strengths and weak points, and how he applied and first interviewed with CFO Ashley. Originally from Southern California, Chad moved to Utah for work and recently relocated to Oregon with his wife, a high school teacher, and their two daughters (ages 9 and 11). He describes family life, parenting lessons, and his oldest daughter's celiac disease prompting early self-sufficiency in cooking. Though not a hunter, Chad has outdoor product and e-commerce experience and shoots firearms and bows; Crohn's disease has limited backcountry hunting. He also shares a background in Hollywood Video, social work with at-risk youth, and behavioral work with autistic students, plus favorite films across genres.
