In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Dr. Bill Rawls to explore how stealth microbes reactivate under stress and quietly drive autoimmune issues, Lyme, and even long COVID. You'll learn why addressing inflammation alone won't lead to lasting healing. Discover how your lifestyle, diet, and sleep patterns may be silently weakening your immune defenses, allowing dormant infections to take over. Dr. Rawls breaks down the real root causes of chronic conditions and what needs to happen at the cellular level to reverse them. You'll also hear how herbs—often dismissed as “weak” remedies—actually provide powerful antimicrobial and immune-modulating support. Learn which specific herbal compounds can strengthen your cells, reduce microbial load, and help your body restore balance naturally.

In this solo podcast episode I discuss why I believe Pure Krill oil is SUPERIOR to Fish oil and have done for almost 10 years now. Pure Krill oil has a phospholipid backbone which makes the DHA and EPA it contains more bioavailable and efficacious. I recommend avoiding nearly all commercial fish oil supplements, because the DHA and EPA are delivered in the form of ethyl esters. Ethyl esters are the least bioavailable and cheapest form of omega-3. But a new lysophospholipid form of DHA found in Krill oil shows promise for preventing macular decline that often occurs alongside chronic inflammation and diseases like Alzheimer's and diabetes. Whereas the DHA in most fish oil supplements cannot reach the retina, where DHA concentrates, LPC-DHA crosses into the retina from the bloodstream easily. Krill oil also counteracts neuroinfammatory processes, due to its phospholipids and additional antioxidant "astaxanthin". Find out more in this newest episode. Also the link to my previous video on krill oil is here; https://youtu.be/JGJ4M8sVU3M As always, please like share and subscribe if you haven't already. :)
In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explore the biology and psychology of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and discuss both prescription and non-prescription treatment options. I discuss the neural circuits involved in attention and concentration, emphasizing dopamine's role in regulating and coordinating focus. I explain how common prescription stimulants like Ritalin, Adderall, and Modafinil act on the brain to treat ADHD, and discuss non-drug approaches, including supplements and behavioral training to support focus. The episode offers tools and insights beneficial not only for those with ADHD but for anyone seeking to improve attention and focus. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

Omega-3 fatty acids have long been lauded for heart health benefits. Yet, emerging research now points to an even more profound impact, directly on our most complex organ: the brain. Today, we delve into the critical, often misunderstood, role of omega-3s in cognitive function, mental well-being, and even the prevention of neurodegenerative conditions like dementia. We are joined by Dr. Bill Harris, a globally recognised authority in omega-3 fatty acid research. Bill is a Professor at the University of South Dakota and has over 300 peer-reviewed publications. His foundational work includes pioneering studies on fish oil in the 1980s and shaping American Heart Association scientific statements. In this episode, Dr. Harris - along with ZOE's Chief Scientist Professor Sarah Berry - illuminate why most individuals may be operating with suboptimal omega-3 levels, and the tangible implications this has for mood regulation, anxiety, and long-term brain resilience. We navigate nuances between omega-3 types like EPA and DHA, debunk common misconceptions surrounding plant-based sources and mercury content in fish, and explore the precise methods for assessing and improving your own "Omega-3 Index."

In this episode, Dr. Jockers and Christian Yordanov expose a hidden driver behind chronic illness: endotoxins. These toxic fragments from gut bacteria can leak into the bloodstream and ignite widespread inflammation. If you're dealing with fatigue, brain fog, or gut issues, this conversation could change everything. You'll learn how inflammation—though meant to protect—is often hijacked by endotoxins, leading to immune overload and long-term damage. Christian explains how this silent process affects your energy, heart, brain, and more, revealing just how deeply gut health impacts the rest of your body. We also challenge some popular health advice—like whether fiber is always a good thing. Christian shares why “feeding your gut” could backfire in certain cases, and offers practical strategies to lower endotoxin load, repair the gut barrier, and restore mitochondrial health through diet, supplements, and smart lifestyle changes.

AI is popping up everywhere in healthcare. The problem is that there is a lot of vaporware out there which talks of leveraging AI, but hasn't actually implemented it yet. That's why it was refreshing to learn about Xsolis leveraging generative AI to help Beacon Health System with the challenge that is medical necessity reviews.To really dive into the details, I sat down with Heather Wagner, MBA, BSN, RN, Director of Utilization Review and Case Management at Beacon Health System and Wendy Reynolds, DHA, MBA, BSN, RN, Director of Clinical Consultants at Xsolis. We kick off the interview by learning about why Beacon Health System originally chose to partner with Xsolis a number of years ago. Wagner shared the details of that decision and some of the impact their organization experienced moving the largely paper processes into electronic ones. For example, Xsolis enabled their utilization review team to work remotely and serve a higher volume of patients. Plus, she shared how the move to Xsolis benefited their organization as they added new hospitals – applying Xsolis' standardized processes to achieve more consistency.Learn more about Beacon Health System: https://www.beaconhealthsystem.org/ Learn more about Xsolis: https://www.xsolis.com/Healthcare IT Community: https://www.healthcareittoday.com/

Can fish oil really transform your health? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Charles Sefcik, a board-certified chiropractic neurologist and certified clinical nutritionist, to explore one of the most powerful and underrated tools in functional medicine: omega-3s. We break down how EPA and DHA support your brain, hormones, metabolism, and inflammation pathways—and why most people aren't getting nearly enough from food alone. We also share what to look for in a quality fish oil supplement, how to avoid common pitfalls like oxidation and poor sourcing, and why testing your fatty acid levels can make all the difference. Packed with clinical insight and real-world advice, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone looking to use nutrition as a foundation for long-term health Key Takeaways: Omega-3 fatty acids are critical for cell membrane fluidity, reducing inflammation, and enhancing cognitive function. Fish oil quality matters; choose supplements devoid of contaminants like mercury and PCBs and go for third-party certified products. Omega-3s have a profound impact on reducing neuroinflammation and supporting hormone function, influencing overall brain health and longevity. Regular testing, like the OmegaQuant, can provide valuable insights into your fatty acid balance, guiding effective supplementation and dietary adjustments. Combining omega-3 supplements with a healthy diet and lifestyle can prevent chronic diseases, promote muscle synthesis, and ensure optimum brain health.

#173: Summer's approaching, and for those of us blessed with fair skin, the struggle to achieve that sun-kissed glow without damaging UV exposure is real. As a redhead who spent years pursuing the "perfect tan" through harmful methods, I've become something of an expert on self-tanners – from the orange disasters of decades past to today's sophisticated formulations.This episode dives deep into the world of self-tanners with honest reviews of two leading brands: my longtime favorite Tanologist and the viral sensation Peta Jane. I break down everything from application techniques and development time to longevity and the dreaded DHA smell that can linger on everything from your sheets to your dog. If you're pale-complected and looking for a safer alternative to tanning beds or sun exposure, this comparison might save you both money and disappointment.Between beauty reviews, I share the hilarious story of my 10-pound Chihuahua who decided to chase geese (with predictably terrifying results), heartwarming interactions with patients (including a 97-year-old WWII veteran with the sweetest advice about teeth), and an update on my ongoing journey with filler complications and the importance of ultrasound-guided dissolution procedures.You'll also hear about my late-to-the-party obsession with Real Housewives of Atlanta and previews of upcoming interviews with Light on Yoga in Huntsville and Needles with Natty from the Collective on South Jefferson. Whether you're here for the beauty tips, healthcare insights, or just enjoy listening to someone babble nonsense while you multitask, this episode offers plenty to smile about.Have questions for our upcoming guests?

This week, we're taking a look inside the writing life of Hanna Thomas Uose, author of 'Who Whats to Live Forever'.Hanna won the Morley Prize for Unpublished Writers of Colour, was shortlisted for Orion and DHA's Space to Write project, selected for the Asian Women Writers Mentorship Programme, and went back to study for an MA in Prose Fiction.Her new novel is 'Who Wants to Live Forever', and it comes from the simple question - how would the world change if we didn't have to die? We discuss how Hanna expanded on that idea, yet also narrowed down the focus to the other questions she really wanted answered. It's about Yuki and Sam who are soulmates, destined to spend the rest of their lives together. However, when a miracle drug is created that can extend your life indefinitely, what happens when Sam decides to live forever, rather than love Yuki forever?You can hear about the pressure of delivering a good ending, also how Hanna feels with a one-book deal. We discuss why she went back to University, what she does to get ready to tell the story, and why she is in two minds when getting feedback for the edit.You can support the show atpatreon.com/writersroutineko-fi.com/writersroutineSubscribe to the newsletter - writersroutine.substack.comGet a copy of the book - uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutine@writerspodwritersroutine.com Hosted on Acast.

It helped shape development, block unwanted commercial growth, and give residents a say in what happened next. Now, Tim Brown is stepping back into leadership with renewed energy after a challenging year. He shares why the DHA still matters, how Dunwoody is evolving, and how the organization will be there to stand up for you when it counts. Check out the DHA website to learn what a $40 membership means for the community and why it should matter more than a meal at Tim's favorite spot, Joey D's Steakhouse. https://dunwoodyga.org What's Up Dunwoody Links:

So, the show today, it's sort of an encore but not really an encore because I recorded this whole new introduction that you are currently listening to. And I also did a few inserts that we popped into the show itself. Inserts from the future, you might say. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. But why did I pull this episode from 2021, you might be wondering, as an immediate follow-on to the show from last week (EP469) about possible Medicaid cuts? Well, for one thing, the show last week about Medicaid cuts was about how the cuts might impact plan sponsors. And it left me feeling a little bit like part of the story was going unsaid. So much of what happens in healthcare, we see numbers on a spreadsheet but can easily lose track of human beings. I was reading something the other day. It reminded me of the people behind these numbers. I don't know if this happened in rural America, but it easily could have. Here's the link. Someone could not get a needed surgery. This surgery had all of the medical necessity boxes checked, except the hospital would not perform the needed surgery without cash up front in prepayment. This patient, he did not have enough money to cover the prepayment. So, somebody in the hospital finance department gave him a solution: Just wait until the situation becomes life-threatening, and then I guess you can go to the ER with your newly life-threatening condition, and they will have to perform the surgery without the money up front. And here we have the theme of people not being able to afford or not being able to access primary care or, in this case, I guess something more than that—a surgery—and they wind up in the emergency room. As John Lee, MD, put it, the healthcare system in this country is like a balloon. And the way we are currently squeezing it, everybody is getting squeezed into the emergency room—which is the very most expensive place to obtain care, of course, especially when that care is non-emergent. In rural America, this is particularly true. Now, by no means am I suggesting any kind of magic bullet to this Medicaid situation. As we all know, health and healthcare are not the same thing as health insurance; and we all know enough about the issues with Medicaid. That is not what the show is about. The episode that follows with Nikki King, who is my guest today, offers some great advice when there's just such a scarcity of clinicians available; and she does a great job of it. So, I am going to spend my time with you in this intro talking about rural hospitals in rural areas—the place where many patients wind up when they cannot get primary care in their community, just exacerbating all of the issues we have with Medicaid and affording Medicaid. But yeah, even if there is adequate or even great primary care, you still kind of need a hospital. The thing is, if an economic situation emerges where, say, for example—and this is the case in a lot of rural places—let's just say a factory or two or a mine or whatever closes down. It might mean the local hospital also closes down if that local hospital was dependent on commercial lives and cost shifting to those commercial lives. Like, this is not higher math or anything. It's easy to see how a doom loop immediately gets triggered. Recall that one big reason—and Cynthia Fisher (EP457) talked about this in an episode from a few months ago—one reason why employers in rural areas are choosing to move facilities somewhere else or overseas is that hospital costs are too high in the USA in these rural areas. So, they are closing their factory down because the hospital is charging too much. The lower the volume of commercial lives, the higher the hospital winds up raising their prices for the other employers in the area. Now, there's a point that comes up a lot in 2025 in conversations about rural hospital financials or just hospital financials in general, I guess. I had a conversation with Brad Brockbank about this a while back, and I've been mulling over it ever since. There are many who strongly suggest the reason why rural and other hospitals are in trouble is squarely because they don't have enough patients with commercial insurance in their payer mix. As Nathan Kaufman wrote on LinkedIn the other day, he wrote, “The ‘tipping point' is the percent of commercial gross revenues. When most hospitals hit 25%, if they don't have commercial rates in the high 300% [over Medicare] range, things begin to unravel.” And look, I'm not gonna argue any of the points here. How would I know? For any given hospital, it could be a financial imperative to try to get 300% over Medicare out of the local employers. I don't doubt it. The question I would ask, if someone knows that hospital finances are currently dependent on cost shifting, especially in a rural area with unstable industry, what are the choices that are made by hospital boards or leadership? Is this current dependency used as a justification to level up the cost shifting to local employers just as volume diminishes keep charging more, which is ultimately going to cause even more employers to leave the area? Which seems to be kind of a default. It's like the safety valve is, charge the local employers more. The point I'm making here is not all that profound, actually. It's just to point out that safety valve, taking advantage of it, comes with downstream impact that actually worsens a situation. So, what do we do now? And similar to the Medicaid, what I just said about Medicaid, I'm not showing up with any silver bullet here. And running a hospital is ridiculously hard. So, I do not wanna minimize that. And I certainly do not wanna minimize Medicare advantage paying less than Medicare going on and the mental health crisis and the just crippling issues that a lot of rural hospitals face. Here's a link to a really interesting report by the Center for Healthcare Quality & Payment Reform (CHQPR) about the ways hospitals can restructure and rethink how they deliver services, but I will take a moment to point out some case studies of success for what happens when people crossed off go get more money from the local employers off the list. Then there's also FQHCs (Federally Qualified Health Centers) doing some amazing things even in rural areas. Listen to the episode a while back with Doug Eby, MD, MPH, CPE (EP312) about the Nuka System of Care in Alaska, serving areas so rural, you need to take a prop plane to get to them. Their patients, their members have some of the best outcomes in the entire country. Their secret: yeah … great primary care teams that include behavioral health, the doctor, the nurse, a whole crew. And look at us. We've come full circle. Primary care (good primary care, I mean) is an investment. Everything else is a cost. Lastly, let me just offer a very large update: Today, you cannot just say rural hospital anymore and automatically mean a hospital in dire financial straits struggling to, like, make the rent. Large consolidated hospital systems have bought up so many rural hospitals for all kinds of reasons that may (or maybe not) have less to do with mission and more to do with all the things I discussed with Brennan Bilberry (EP395) in the episode entitled “Consolidated Hospital Systems and Cunning Anticompetitive Contracts.” Here is the original episode with Nikki King. Nikki, let me just mention, has gotten a new job since she was on the pod. She is now the CEO of Alliance Health Centers in Indiana. Also mentioned in this episode are Alliance Health Centers; John Lee, MD; Cynthia Fisher; Patient Rights Advocate; Brad Brockbank; Nathan Kaufman; Doug Eby, MD, MPH, CPE; Nuka System of Care; and Brennan Bilberry.

Omega-3 DHA is an essential and incredibly vital nutrient for health. In recent years, its importance during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and infancy has been widely recognized and supported. This is great! But, does the need for DHA stop as your child grows and reaches maturity? Not at all! Daily intake of omega-3 DHA remains essential throughout life. Are you and the children in your life getting enough DHA?This week George discusses how important DHA is not only for children's growth but use as an anti-aging nutrient. www.georgebatista.com
Did you know that the more you wear your glasses, the stronger prescription you'll need?Contrast sensitivity loss is an eye problem doctors don't commonly check for. This condition affects the ability to differentiate between shades of grey, causing blurry vision, especially in low light. Carotenoids are antioxidants that protect the eyes against blue light, chemicals, damage from diabetes, and more. However, as we age, carotenoids decrease, so eye protection also decreases. Full-spectrum light can be helpful but will not solve the problem. To improve eyesight, you need to increase the efficiency of the retina. Sunlight is vital for eye and retina health. It allows UV and infrared light into the eye and can also help build up the eye's melatonin.You can increase carotenoids in the eye by consuming foods with lutein and zeaxanthin. Both carotenoids are found in egg yolks.If you choose supplements with lutein and zeaxanthin, look for one with at least 10 mg of lutein and 2 mg of zeaxanthin. Research has shown significant improvement in macular degeneration and contrast sensitivity loss in people who took lutein and zeaxanthin for 12 weeks. Ophthalmologist Dr. Chris Knobbe stresses the importance of removing seed oils from the diet and moving towards an ancestral diet for improved eyesight and eye health. Fatty fish like salmon contain omega-3s, which support eye health and reduce inflammation. DHA is vital for the brain and retina and is found in fish oil and cod liver oil.Vitamin D is critical for every part of the eye and can help with conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinopathy. Take at least 10,000 IU of vitamin D every day. Vitamin A is essential, especially for night vision. Zinc can also help!DATA:https://www.sciencedirect.com/science...
