In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Autumn McLees to discuss her powerful journey navigating Lichen Sclerosus, a chronic inflammatory condition that affects many women but is rarely talked about openly. After experiencing painful symptoms and receiving conventional treatments that focused primarily on symptom management, Autumn began questioning whether there might be deeper root causes behind her condition. Her search for answers led her into the world of holistic health, functional medicine, and lifestyle-based healing. Autumn shares how her autoimmune diagnosis became a turning point—one that shifted her perspective from seeing her body as broken to recognizing it as a messenger asking for change. Throughout the conversation, she discusses the dietary and lifestyle shifts that helped reduce flare-ups, the mindset required to stay committed to healing, and the importance of surrounding yourself with practitioners who focus on root-cause healing rather than symptom suppression. Autumn also opens up about navigating new health challenges along the way and how staying proactive with nutrition, gut health, and vaginal microbiome support continues to play a key role in maintaining her progress. This episode offers hope and practical insights for anyone struggling with autoimmune conditions, chronic inflammation, or unexplained symptoms, especially women who may feel dismissed or unsupported in traditional medical settings. What You'll Learn in This Episode What Lichen Sclerosus is and why it can be so uncomfortable and disruptive Early symptoms many women overlook, including tearing and irritation Why conventional treatments often focus on symptom management rather than root causes How holistic and functional medicine approaches can help address underlying imbalances The role dietary changes play in reducing inflammation and preventing flare-ups Why maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential for long-term symptom management How mindset and motivation influence the healing process The importance of identifying dietary triggers How probiotics and microbiome support can benefit vaginal health Why sharing personal health journeys empowers others to advocate for themselves Key Takeaways Lichen Sclerosus can cause severe discomfort and symptoms like tearing and irritation. Holistic approaches may provide additional tools beyond conventional treatments. Dietary changes can significantly impact inflammation and symptom flare-ups. Long-term management requires ongoing attention to lifestyle and stress. Healing often begins when we start listening to our bodies instead of ignoring symptoms. Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing root causes. Support from knowledgeable practitioners and community can make the healing journey easier. Awareness of food triggers can help prevent symptom recurrence. Vaginal microbiome health is an often overlooked piece of the puzzle. Sharing personal stories can inspire others to take control of their health. About Autumn McLees Autumn McLees knows firsthand what it's like to feel stuck in a cycle of searching for answers in a system designed more for symptom management than true healing. After receiving an autoimmune diagnosis, she began questioning conventional approaches and exploring holistic alternatives. Through that journey, she realized her body wasn't failing her—it was asking her to pay attention. Today, Autumn helps others understand that healing doesn't require perfection or permission. It begins with the courage to question the norm, clean up lifestyle habits, and seek out practitioners who focus on the root causes of illness. Her mission is to empower people to reconnect with their bodies' natural ability to heal and provide the tools, resources, and support needed to make lasting transformation possible.

Dr. Peter Brukner is one of Australia's most decorated sports medicine physicians. He is former head of medical and performance at Liverpool FC, team doctor for Cricket Australia, Cathy Freeman's doctor at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, and now one of the most credible voices in the low-carb and diabetes reversal space.In 2012, at 60 years old and working in Liverpool, Brukner had a fatty liver, high triglycerides, elevated insulin, and a strong family history of type 2 diabetes. He tried a low-carb diet for 90 days. He lost 13 kilograms. Every blood marker normalised. The fatty liver (present for a decade) was gone.What followed was a complete reorientation of his career: founding Sugar by Half, writing the bestselling 'A Fat Lot of Good', developing the Defeat Diabetes program, and becoming one of the most persistent critics of dietary guidelines that he believes are built on fraudulent science.This is a wide-ranging, evidence-dense conversation covering the politics of how fat got demonised, why the medical system structurally cannot update itself, the real mechanism behind type 2 diabetes, the legitimate and illegitimate uses of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, athlete nutrition, injury recovery, and where AI is headed in medicine.Watch all of our interviews at https://discernable.io/interviews

What if inflammation isn't the enemy? For decades we've been told to suppress it, silence it, and eliminate it as quickly as possible. Anti-inflammatory diets. Anti-inflammatory drugs. Anti-inflammatory supplements. But what if the body is doing exactly what it's supposed to do? In this powerful solo episode, Darin breaks down the biology of inflammation and challenges the modern narrative that inflammation itself is the disease. Instead, he reveals a deeper truth: inflammation is a signal — an intelligent response to disruption in the body's environment. From gut health and modern diet to stress, sleep deprivation, environmental toxins, and movement deprivation, this episode uncovers the real drivers behind chronic inflammation and why suppressing the signal without addressing the cause may actually delay healing. This isn't about rejecting modern medicine. It's about asking a better question. Why is the fire there in the first place?     In This Episode Why inflammation is the body's emergency response system The difference between acute inflammation and chronic inflammation The chemical cascade that activates the immune response How the body naturally turns inflammation off through resolution molecules Why chronic inflammation is often a signal that the trigger hasn't been removed The gut microbiome and the connection between leaky gut and systemic inflammation Why Western diets dramatically alter inflammatory signaling The omega-6 to omega-3 imbalance in modern food systems How refined sugar activates inflammatory pathways in the body Chronic psychological stress and the HPA axis inflammatory response The gut-brain-inflammation connection and mental health Sleep disruption and the immune-sleep "crosstalk" cycle Why skeletal muscle acts as an anti-inflammatory organ Environmental toxins, PFAS, pesticides, and microplastics as immune triggers What ancient systems like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine understood about inflammation thousands of years ago The global reliance on NSAIDs and the culture of suppressing symptoms Research showing anti-inflammatory drugs may delay healing The cycle of gut damage and chronic inflammation created by long-term NSAID use Why removing triggers is the real path to resolving inflammation     Chapters 00:00:03 – Opening: Welcome to SuperLife and the mission of building health sovereignty 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Manna 00:02:16 – Introducing the topic: Why inflammation may be widely misunderstood 00:03:00 – The modern obsession with "anti-inflammatory everything" 00:04:14 – Reframing inflammation: the body's emergency response system 00:05:30 – What actually happens inside the body during inflammation 00:07:00 – Breakthrough research on the body's natural inflammation resolution system 00:08:01 – Acute inflammation vs chronic inflammation explained 00:09:14 – Chronic inflammation and its link to major diseases 00:09:45 – Why inflammation is often a symptom rather than the root cause 00:10:40 – The gut microbiome and its role in regulating inflammation 00:11:40 – How ultra-processed foods damage the gut and trigger inflammatory signals 00:12:23 – Sponsor: Our Place 00:14:53 – Omega-3 vs omega-6 fats and their influence on inflammatory pathways 00:15:48 – Sugar, insulin signaling, and metabolic inflammation 00:16:09 – Chronic stress and the inflammatory cascade 00:17:06 – The gut-brain-inflammation connection 00:18:00 – Sleep and the body's nightly inflammatory reset 00:18:31 – Muscle contraction and the release of anti-inflammatory myokines 00:19:16 – Environmental toxins and why the immune system responds with inflammation 00:20:04 – Ancient perspectives on inflammation, including Ayurveda's concept of "Pitta" 00:22:48 – The widespread use of NSAIDs and anti-inflammatory medications 00:23:50 – Research showing suppressing inflammation may delay healing 00:25:05 – The vicious cycle of NSAIDs damaging the gut and increasing inflammation 00:26:15 – Dietary patterns that reduce inflammatory triggers 00:27:18 – Why daily movement acts as natural anti-inflammatory medicine 00:27:50 – A better question to ask your doctor: Why is inflammation present? 00:28:09 – The final perspective: inflammation as communication from the body 00:29:07 – Closing message: inflammation is not the enemy: it's the conversation     Thank You to Our Sponsors Our Place – Non-toxic cookware that keeps harmful chemicals out of your food.

It is your body raising the alarm: responding to stress, toxins, injury, imbalance, and disruption. Suppressing the alarm without asking why it's ringing keeps the cycle going. Healing begins when we stop fighting the signal and start listening to what the body is trying to tell us. Your body isn't broken. It's responding to the environment it's been given. Change the environment and the biology follows.

A 2026 prospective cohort study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention investigated the impact of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) on the long-term survival of cancer patients. Tracking 802 cancer survivors over a median of 14.6 years within the Moli-sani Study, researchers discovered a stark correlation between the consumption of UPFs and mortality risk.The data revealed that individuals consuming the highest amount of ultra-processed foods (measured by weight ratio) experienced a 48% higher rate of all-cause mortality and a 57% higher rate of cancer-specific mortality compared to those in the lowest consumption tier. Crucially, this association persisted even after adjusting for overall diet quality, indicating that the industrial processing itself—rather than just a poor nutrient profile—plays an independent and harmful role in long-term health. The study identified that increased systemic inflammation and an elevated resting heart rate accounted for over 37% of this link, demonstrating how artificial additives and industrial processing disrupt metabolic function.Disclaimers• This information is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.• The findings are based on an observational study, meaning causality cannot be definitively inferred.• Dietary intakes were self-reported, which can be susceptible to misreporting or changes over the lengthy follow-up period.• Nutritional interventions and major dietary changes should always be managed by a qualified healthcare professional or oncology nutritionist.#CancerSurvival #UltraProcessedFoods #UPF #NutritionScience #OncologyNutrition #HealthyEating #DietAndCancer #ScienceUpdate #Alchepharma #Inflammation #FoodProcessing ultra-processed foods cancer survivors 2026, NOVA classification UPF mortality, diet for cancer recovery, Moli-sani study cancer research, inflammation UPF heart rate, 48% higher mortality processed food, AACR cancer epidemiology diet, artificial additives cancer risk, whole foods oncology nutrition, effects of food processing on health, ultra-processed food all cause mortality.

In this conversation, Jeff Sarris and Jill Harris discuss the implications of consuming almonds, particularly in relation to kidney stones. They explore the role of oxalates in kidney stone formation, the importance of dietary adjustments, and the need for proper guidance in managing kidney health. The discussion emphasizes the balance between healthy eating and the potential risks associated with overconsumption of certain foods, particularly almonds and spinach.TakeawaysAlmonds are often considered healthy but can contribute to kidney stones.Oxalates found in almonds can lead to high levels in urine, increasing stone risk.Dieticians may not always provide specific advice on oxalate levels.Many people overconsume healthy foods, thinking more is better.It's essential to monitor oxalate levels in urine to prevent kidney stones.Reference ranges for oxalate levels in urine may be misleading.Dietary changes can significantly lower oxalate levels and prevent stones.Almonds and spinach are commonly removed from kidney stone diets.Other nuts can be consumed in moderation as alternatives to almonds.Education on kidney health and diet is crucial for prevention.00:00 Understanding Almonds and Kidney Stones06:25 Dietary Recommendations for Kidney Stone Prevention——When you're ready, here's how I can helpSince 1998, I've helped thousands of patients prevent kidney stones.

This episode examines dietary fiber through the lens of a practical, clinically relevant question: if higher fiber intakes are consistently associated with reduced chronic disease risk, what intake level should we be aiming for to meaningfully improve health outcomes? The discussion deliberately spans from common online claims that fiber is "not essential" (and therefore unnecessary), through to mechanistic reasoning and the highest-quality evidence we have for hard outcomes and accepted intermediate cardiometabolic endpoints. Across the episode, we'll hear from six expert perspectives to integrate epidemiology, controlled feeding studies, and clinical guideline contexts. We will consider how the dose–response patterns, fiber type/source, individual tolerance, and the limitations of nutrition trials all influence what can be recommended with confidence.

Fiber isn't one-size-fits-all and for some people, more isn't better. In this episode, we explore why most people under-eat fiber, why certain fibers can worsen symptoms, and how to personalize intake in a way your body can actually tolerate. Dr. Heather Armstrong shares emerging insights on fiber function, microbiome capacity, and practical strategies for going low and slow. We also unpack new science explaining why fiber supports gut health in some individuals, while triggering issues in others with reduced fermentative activity. In this episode, we discuss: • The fiber gap, health risks, and minimum intake targets • How solubility, viscosity, and fermentability guide fiber choice • Matching fiber types to IBS, diarrhea, and constipation • Why whole foods matter more than isolates • Citrus peel pectin and simple kitchen hacks • Why “low and slow” dosing reduces gas and pain • How long microbiome changes and symptom relief actually take • When fiber supplements help (and when they don't) • Individualized fiber needs in IBD (and implications for IBS, MS, and liver disease) • Why dietitians are essential for precision nutritionThis episode is especially relevant if you've been told to “just eat more fiber”—and it didn't go well.Learn more about Dr. Heather Armstrong's novel research:Gut feeling: new test and precision diet could boost health for people with IBD.

Send us a textThis week we're heading into week three of the challenge, and I want to talk about something subtle that can quietly make everything feel harder—your energy, your focus, your patience, even your progress. I've been thinking a lot about how often we push through discomfort without ever stopping to ask why it's there. And how, as women who manage full lives and full calendars, we're incredibly skilled at overriding ourselves instead of listening.In today's shorty episode, I invite you to slow down just enough to notice what your body has been trying to tell you all along. This is about strength without force, awareness without judgment, and learning how to trust yourself again in a world that constantly asks you not to. If you've ever felt like something was “off” but couldn't quite put your finger on it, this conversation is for you.Quote of the Week:“The body is your instrument.

Urban residents are increasingly adopting dopamine fasting as a structured way to disconnect from the constant noise of modern life. In cities like Austin, New York, and Cleveland, residents utilize this practice to seek relief from digital distraction and overstimulation. According to the sources, here is how urban residents use these techniques to address overstimulation and burnout: Intentional Breaks from High-Stimulus Activities Residents in top-ranking cities for this trend engage in intentional breaks from activities associated with instant gratification. Rather than a literal "reset" of brain chemistry, the practice is focused on reducing the frequency of dopamine spikes triggered by modern behaviors. Common strategies include: Digital Detoxes: Taking multi-day or week-long breaks from social media and video gaming to break compulsive reward-seeking loops. Dietary and Lifestyle Changes: Avoiding sugary snacks, processed foods, and alcohol as part of a broader effort to manage stimulation. Reengaging with Low-Stimulus Activities: Using the time gained to focus on nature, reading, or direct social connection, which provides deeper satisfaction than digital inputs. Combatting Burnout and Enhancing Focus Urban residents utilize these breaks specifically to combat the "constant connectivity" that leads to burnout. By stepping away from incessant stimulation, they aim to achieve several psychological benefits: Mental Clarity and Productivity: Participants report increased focus and executive function, which are essential for navigating demanding urban work environments. Emotional Regulation: The practice is linked to improved mood, reduced anxiety, and a decrease in symptoms of depression. Present-Moment Awareness: By removing digital distractions, residents find they can cultivate greater mindfulness and intentional living. Integration into Workplace Culture The trend is also being recognized as a tool for holistic wellness in professional settings. Leaders and HR professionals are encouraged to support employees in setting boundaries with technology and taking intentional breaks to support long-term well-being and build healthier workplace cultures. Expert Cautions on Implementation While many see it as a healthy practice, experts in the sources suggest that the most effective way to address burnout is through moderation and purposeful reduction rather than total deprivation. Taking the practice to extremes can lead to isolation or decreased life satisfaction; therefore, it is often recommended as a component of a balanced lifestyle rather than a rigid "fast". Analogy for Understanding: Think of dopamine fasting like letting an overheated engine idle. The goal isn't to remove the oil or fuel (the dopamine) which the engine needs to run, but rather to stop redlining the motor so it can cool down and operate efficiently again without burning out.

Definition and Sources of Oxalates- Oxalates are natural compounds produced by plants and found in various foods. - High consumption of oxalates can lead to toxicity, particularly affecting calcium absorption. - Common sources of oxalates include sweet potatoes, spinach, and certain nuts, which can exacerbate health issues.Health Implications of Oxalates- Excessive oxalate consumption can correlate with numerous health problems, including kidney stones and connective tissue disorders. - Sally Norton shares her personal journey, linking her health issues to oxalate intake, particularly from sweet potatoes. - There is a growing recognition that many individuals may be affected by oxalate toxicity, often without awareness.Dietary Recommendations - A low-oxalate diet is crucial for managing health issues related to oxalates, especially for individuals with a history of kidney stones. - Increasing calcium intake can help mitigate oxalate absorption in the intestines, thus promoting excretion. - Foods high in citrate, such as lemon juice, can also support kidney health and help prevent stone formation.Role of Supplements- Vitamin C and collagen supplementation can elevate endogenous oxalate production, which can worsen oxalate-related health issues. - Calcium supplements are beneficial but should be approached cautiously to avoid exacerbating oxalate dumping symptoms. - Potassium is essential for restoring health impacted by oxalates, aiding in vascular and kidney function.Symptoms and Management of Oxalate Dumping- Oxalate dumping can cause a range of symptoms, including pain, fatigue, and changes in mood, often exacerbated by dietary changes. - Strategies for managing oxalate dumping include carefully timed oxalate intake and monitoring bodily responses. - Observing physical signs such as cloudy urine or skin irritations can indicate oxalate clearing and guide dietary adjustments.Long-Term Considerations and Conclusions - Understanding the long-term impact of oxalate consumption is still evolving, with limited longitudinal studies available. - The complexity of oxalate-related health issues necessitates a personalised approach, as individual responses vary. - Continuing education on oxalates is crucial, as many dietary guidelines may promote foods high in oxalates, potentially harming health.00:07 - Oxalates are natural compounds that can cause health issues when consumed in excess.02:24 - Dietitians are undervalued, leading to misperceptions about the importance of nutrition.06:39 - Health consequences of misunderstood dietary advice on oxalate-rich foods.08:43 - Oxalates can lead to connective tissue disorders and chronic pain.13:14 - Oxalates and uric acid contribute to kidney stones and gout inflammation.15:16 - Oxalate dumping can cause extreme discomfort and requires mitigation strategies.19:06 - Understanding oxalate management in a carnivore diet.20:53 - Tea strength and citrate are key for managing oxalate levels.24:30 - Dietary shifts impact metabolism and may lead to tooth sensitivity.26:21 - Oxalates can significantly impact heart and kidney health.30:02 - Calcium helps excrete oxalates but requires careful management.31:45 - Oxalate affects calcium regulation and can be managed with dietary adjustments.

Heart disease, dementia, depression, diabetes: what do these conditions have in common? Dr Will Bulsiewicz, a gastroenterologist and New York Times bestselling author, says the answer is inflammation. In today's episode, Will explains the four nutrition workhorses that can reduce inflammation, heal your gut and supercharge your immune system - in as little as 24 hours. We explore discoveries in Will's new book, Plant Powered Plus, that explain the central role inflammation plays in health. You'll learn which symptoms that seem unrelated, such as fatigue, skin breakouts, bloating, headaches, and joint pain, all share a common driver. You'll also hear why he believes the gut and the immune system rise and fall together, and how a weakened gut barrier may keep the immune system on constant alert. By the end of the episode, you will have a clear understanding of what inflammation is, how it can cause damage, and practical, food-first ideas to wrestle yourself from its clutches. What's one small change you could try this week? In your meals or your routine to help your body switch off “fight mode”? Unwrap the truth about your food

In this episode, Layne presents the evidence-based case that seed oils are not uniquely harmful under isocaloric conditions, while Peter steelmans the strongest versions of the opposing argument that seed oils are inherently harmful. They examine how scientific bias and evidence are evaluated, revisit the historical randomized controlled trials that shaped the seed oil controversy, and explore the mechanistic biology underlying LDL oxidation and atherosclerosis. Along the way, Layne unpacks the chemistry and processing of modern seed oils, assesses evolutionary and ancestral nutrition arguments, clarifies the relationship between seed oils, ultra-processed foods, and contemporary dietary patterns, and situates these questions within the larger context of lifestyle factors that drive cardiometabolic health. Layne concludes by offering practical considerations around dietary fats, cooking oils, and real-world food choices. We discuss: The idea behind this episode, biases, and evidence-based thinking [5:15]; The four core arguments behind claims that seed oils are harmful [12:30]; The Minnesota Coronary Experiment (MCE) [14:30]; The differences among saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and trans fats, and why those differences matter for cardiovascular disease [18:30]; Missing trans fat data as a confounder in the Minnesota Coronary Experiment, other limitations of that study, and the challenge detecting meaningful differences in hard outcomes through nutrition research [24:00]; The Sydney Diet Heart Study (SDHS): an attempt to address the "duration problem" by enrolling a much higher-risk population [28:30]; Debating whether evidence from randomized trials supports the idea that seed oils are uniquely harmful once major confounders are removed [34:00]; The Rose Corn Oil trial: an often-cited study used to argue against polyunsaturated fats [36:30]; Three studies where replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat produced different results than earlier trials [41:30]; Layne's explanation for why the evidence is pointing towards cardiovascular risk reduction when substituting polyunsaturated fat for saturated fat [47:30]; What Mendelian randomization says about the causal role of LDL cholesterol in ASCVD [56:45]; The compounding effects of life-long exposure to high LDL cholesterol [1:06:45]; Does the linoleic acid (omega-6) content of seed oils cause inflammation? [1:13:45]; Does the linoleic acid (omega-6) content of seed oils increase oxidized LDL? [1:19:30]; Layne's analogy to explain why lower LDL particle number outweighs higher per-particle oxidation risk when comparing polyunsaturated fats to saturated fats [1:26:15]; The role of oxidized LDL in CVD: exploring differences in a diet high in polyunsaturated fat (seed oils) versus high in saturated fat [1:28:00]; Examining whether industrial processing and solvent extraction of seed oils—especially residual hexane—could plausibly cause long-term harm [1:34:00]; The evolutionary and "ancestral diet" argument against seed oils [1:40:45]; Weighing concerns about industrial processing of seed oils against the totality of metabolic and cardiovascular evidence [1:47:30]; Practical considerations around dietary fats, cooking oils, and real-world food choices [1:50:00]; Comparing the health impact of seed oils with that of caloric intake and activity levels, and how to prioritize interventions [2:00:15]; More.

Is there a way to change our diet and lifestyle for the good of the planet?

Longevity isn't just about what you eat or how you train—it's really more about whether you believe your body is worth investing in. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I'm joined by my longtime friend and colleague Dr. Gabrielle Lyon to explore why muscle may be one of the most overlooked drivers of long-term health. We focus on practical, accessible ways to build strength as you age, and why muscle plays a much bigger role in your health than most people realize. We explore: • How strength training supports your blood sugar and metabolic health, beyond what the scale can show • Why muscle quality—not weight—is a stronger predictor of long-term health • How building strength helps you stay mobile, capable, and resilient as you age • What most people miss about protein and muscle health Aging well is something you can actively support, starting with how you care for your body today. And strength is one of the most powerful places you can begin.

Americans are getting their clearest picture yet of how thoroughly Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is remaking federal public health policy. In a move that's drawn widespread criticism, the health secretary announced a dramatic reduction in the number of vaccinations recommended for children. In a second initiative — one that's drawn qualified praise from public health experts — Kennedy unveiled new dietary recommendations that emphasize meat, dairy products and so-called “healthy fats.” We look at these changes in policy and what they may mean for you … and for overall public health.

Justine is a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach, certified personal trainer, and bodybuilding competitor whose health journey led her to a meat-based, animal-focused way of eating. Growing up, she faced significant health challenges, including Raynaud's syndrome, digestive issues, autoimmune-related symptoms, IBS, skin conditions, and pre-diabetes, despite having a "normal" BMI and following standard dietary advice. After years of frustration with conventional approaches, Justine began questioning nutrition guidelines and dove deep into ingredient awareness, movement, and ancestral nutrition. Her health transformation began with AIP and Paleo, followed by keto and carnivore, ultimately leading her to a meat-based lifestyle that brought relief from digestive distress, inflammation, skin issues, and chronic fatigue. Inspired by her own healing, Justine became a personal trainer in 2016 and has since continued her education in nutrition, women's health, corrective exercise, and primal health coaching. She is a Master Primal Health Coach and is currently expanding her expertise through advanced studies in advanced gut health and microbiome studies. Justine has worked primarily with women, helping them rebuild health from the inside out by meeting them where they are and creating sustainable, individualized approaches. She believes true health comes from simplicity, consistency, and reconnecting with how humans are designed to eat and live, ideally with a ribeye steak on the plate.
