How often do you factor travel into your clinical assessment? In this episode of the IRH Clinician's Corner, Margaret Floyd Barry sits down with Dr. Monisha Bhanote, a world-renowned expert in integrative longevity medicine. In today's conversation, we uncover a surprisingly critical topic for functional health practitioners: how to support clients during travel. Whether it's work trips, family vacations, or overseas adventures, travel can wreak havoc on even the best clinical protocols—derailing digestion, lowering immunity, and adding layers of physiological stress. Together, they dive into the biology of travel-related challenges, exploring the stacked physiological stressors your clients face and the evidence-based strategies that can keep their healing on track when they're far from home. Inside this episode, we explore: Why travel can quietly derail even the best clinical protocols The five biological pathways most impacted when clients leave home What really happens to the gut during air travel How disrupted sleep, stress, and time zone changes affect immunity and recovery Simple interventions that can dramatically improve travel resilience The overlooked conversation every practitioner should be having with their clients before they travel The Clinician's Corner is brought to you by the Institute of Restorative Health.

When looking into tethered oral tissues, it is easy to focus entirely on visual structural appearance. However, judging a restriction by looks alone frequently misses the true clinical picture. Real progress happens when healthcare providers shift the diagnostic paradigm away from what a tie looks like and focus entirely on how it affects dynamic function over a patient's lifespan.In this episode, Hallie sits down with Dr. Richard Baxter, DMD, MS, FAAPD, a board-certified pediatric dentist, founder of the Alabama Tongue-Tie Center, and lead author of the bestselling book Tongue-Tied. Dr. Baxter shares his personal and professional insights into the complexities of identifying oral restrictions, moving past basic anatomical definitions to explore how a tiny string under the tongue can alter systemic, long-term health.About the Guest: Dr. Richard BaxterDr. Richard Baxter is a board-certified pediatric dentist, a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), a Diplomate of the American Board of Laser Surgery, and the founder of the Alabama Tongue-Tie Center.

In part two of this series, Sarah explores what healing actually looks like after years of living in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn mode. Why can calm feel uncomfortable? What does a regulated nervous system actually feel like? And how do you stop treating emotional chaos like chemistry? This episode breaks down the biological opposites of survival mode: rest, digest, connect, and create. Sarah also discusses boundaries, co-regulation, people pleasing, emotional safety, and how healing changes the way we experience love, conflict, and connection. If you've ever struggled to relax in relationships, felt emotionally addicted to inconsistency, or wondered why healthy love can feel unfamiliar, this episode is for you.Download HILY Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit https://hily.go.link/d31uDDISCLAIMER: This podcast offers information for educational and entertainment purposes only and is not a substitute for professional advice.

If you've ever felt like your energy, digestion, or metabolism just isn't what it used to be, Ayurveda offers a very different way of understanding what may be driving those changes.     On today's show, I'm breaking down the concept of Agni, your digestive fire, and why it may be one of the most important factors in how well you age, feel, and function every day.     We'll explore how this foundational system views digestion not just as how you break down food, but as something much deeper that influences how your body creates and uses energy at a cellular level.     You'll also learn how certain everyday patterns and habits can quietly disrupt this process over time, and why this may show up in ways like low energy, digestive discomfort, or changes in how you feel as you age.     Most importantly, I'll share how this perspective can help you better understand your body and begin making simple shifts that support better long-term health and vitality.     So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3751 as we explore Agni: the Ayurvedic secret to energy, digestion, and longevity.

I am delighted to connect with Sachin Patel today. Sachin is a father, husband, philanthropist, functional medicine practice success coach, speaker, author, breathwork facilitator, and plant medicine advocate. He is passionate about helping people activate their “inner doctor” through lifestyle medicine, breathwork, and greater self-awareness. Having had the privilege of knowing Sachin both personally and professionally, what stands out most is his unwavering commitment to helping people better understand their physiology so they can heal more effectively and live more intentionally. In today's conversation, we explore the connection between the autonomic nervous system, the vagus nerve, and overall health. Sachin shares insights on breath dynamics, diaphragm function, coherent breathing, CO₂ tolerance, the Bohr effect, the physiologic sigh, and the often-overlooked role of repressed emotions in physical well-being. We also discuss the importance of nature, circadian rhythms, sunlight, temperature regulation, and Sachin offers his recommendations for women in midlife and beyond. I also highly recommend his new book, Breath, Balance, and Burn, which was recently released. Stay tuned for a fascinating conversation on breath, healing, and the daily habits that shape how we feel, function, and age. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How spending too much time in fight-or-flight mode prevents the body from entering a healing state How women's multiple roles and chronic stress, combined with midlife hormonal transitions, can create a “perfect storm” of sympathetic dominance and nervous system dysregulation How your breath reflects your emotional state  Why healing becomes difficult when the body remains in a fight-or-flight state The benefits of coherent breathing for oxygen delivery and nervous system regulation How the diaphragm serves as an access point to emotional regulation and nervous system control How our breathing patterns and nervous system state can influence the emotional state of others Sachin outlines practical techniques to help regulate stress, improve focus, increase energy, and prepare for sleep How modern indoor living disconnects people from their natural rhythms Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website.

First, I'm surely not saying that what you are or are not eating doesn't matter. But after a decade of my own involvement in functional medicine, I see the biggest culprit for gut and digestion issues to be our minds more than anything else. I continue to meet people who are doing “all the right things,” eating clean, taking all the great supplements, exercising, getting good sleep, and they are still dealing with gut and digestive discomfort. I was the same. And I don't have a magic solution like meditating or something for the mind. But I'm concerned that the normal lifestyle of busyness and fast paced and constant stimulation is going to overpower all your other efforts. So a few years ago I sat down with Dr Will Cole. I became aware of Dr Cole through Gwyneth Paltrow, as he is her functional medicine doctor and one of the providers in her Goop wellness and lifestyle brand and company. Will has admittedly become the health and wellness resource for a lot of influential people and if you visit his IG page with over 800k followers you'll see many people you recognize. Will has a book called, Gut Feelings: Healing the Shame-Fueled Relationship Between What You Eat and How You Feel, and it gets more into the philosophy of our wellness than just clinical, prescriptive aspects. Which to me is the foundation. Your health and wellness will ultimately be a result of your own philosophy on health and wellness. Will actually coined the term, “Shameflammation”, which I encourage you to listen into. I find that shame is a reality with most men, and one they are ignorant of and prone to avoid even looking into.

Subscribe in: Apple Podcast | iPhone | Spotify | Pandora | Amazon Music | iHeartRadio  | YouTube If you have ever finished a round of EFT tapping and found yourself yawning uncontrollably, you are not imagining things. In 18 years of working with clients, this question lands in my inbox almost every single month. It is actually one of the top search terms that brings new readers to TappingQandA.com. TL;DR / Key Takeaways Yawning, burping, and stomach gurgles after a tapping round are all signs that your body shifted out of fight-or-flight mode and into its natural rest-and-restore state. The human nervous system operates in two distinct modes: the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) and the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest). EFT tapping moves you from the first into the second. When the digestive system comes back online after a stress response, it produces physical signals including yawns, burps, farts, and stomach rumbles. You do not need to yawn for tapping to have worked. The absence of a yawn is not evidence that nothing changed. These physical responses are among the most common questions people search before finding this site, which tells us that tappers everywhere share this experience and wonder what it means. Why Do I Yawn After Tapping? The Short Answer Yawning after a round of EFT tapping means your nervous system just made a real, measurable shift. It moved out of sympathetic activation (the stress state) and into parasympathetic activation (the recovery state), and your body is announcing that transition out loud. EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), commonly called tapping, involves tapping on specific acupressure points on the face and upper body while focusing on an emotional issue. Some of the earliest peer-reviewed research on tapping demonstrated that it reduces cortisol, the primary stress hormone produced during fight-or-flight activation. When cortisol drops and the sympathetic response de-escalates, the parasympathetic nervous system takes over. That handoff produces a cascade of physical changes, and yawning is one of the most visible. Key insight: "The yawn is your body's way of resetting its state. It is the system literally changing shape from the inside to signal that the danger has passed." What Are the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems? The human nervous system runs in two modes that cannot operate simultaneously. Your body is always choosing between them based on its read of your environment. The sympathetic nervous system governs fight or flight. When the brain perceives a threat, physical or emotional, it floods the body with adrenaline and cortisol. Heart rate climbs. Pupils dilate to take in more visual information. Oxygen is pushed to your limbs so you can run or fight. Digestion shuts down almost entirely, because processing food is a waste of resources when a threat is nearby. Some people experience the extreme version of this when they go blank before a presentation or job interview. The capillaries in the brain constrict as oxygen is rerouted to the muscles, which is why all the answers you forgot come flooding back the moment you walk out the door and the threat passes. The parasympathetic nervous system governs rest, repair, and digestion. Heart rate drops. Pupils contract to sharpen focus. The digestive system powers back on. Growth and maintenance processes resume. You can learn more about how the nervous system connects to emotional healing in Pod #482, where I talked through the full picture with Dr. Jen Cincurak, a naturopathic doctor whose work centers on nervous system maturation and somatic tools including tapping. Why Tapping Triggers the Shift from Stress to Rest Tapping moves the body from sympathetic to parasympathetic activation by sending a calming signal through the acupressure system while you hold a stressful thought or feeling in mind. The combination of cognitive focus and physical tapping interrupts the fight-or-flight loop. Key insight: "What tapping does is give the nervous system new information. It says: you can be present with this emotion without being in danger because of it." The early body of scientific research on tapping, including studies that measured cortisol in saliva before and after sessions, showed measurable decreases in the stress hormone within a single session. That biological change is not metaphorical. It is the same shift the body makes when a frightening situation resolves and you let out a long exhale. Tapping makes it available on purpose, for emotional material the nervous system has been holding in stress mode for days, months, or years. For a deeper look at the evidence behind why tapping produces these effects, Why Tapping Works: Six Evidence-Based Premises covers the research base in plain language. What Causes the Yawning, Burping, and Stomach Gurgles? When the parasympathetic nervous system takes over, every system that was put on hold during the stress response comes back online at once. That re-activation is not silent. The yawn is a physical resetting of the throat and airway, part of the body recalibrating its breathing pattern as it relaxes. It is not about being sleepy (though it can feel that way). It is the airway itself changing shape as surrounding muscles release tension. The burps, farts, and stomach gurgles are the digestive system restarting. During fight or flight, digestion goes essentially offline. The moment the parasympathetic system takes over, digestion turns back on like an engine starting up after sitting cold. It makes noise. It produces gas. That is not a malfunction. That is the machinery doing exactly what it is supposed to do. This connects to broader patterns around what happens in the body during emotional healing, a topic I explored in depth with Julie Schiffman in an early episode on physical body signals. Does Not Yawning Mean Tapping Did Not Work? No. The absence of a yawn after tapping does not mean nothing happened. Key insight: "The yawn is one sign that the shift occurred. It is not the only sign, and its absence is not evidence of failure." Yawning signals the sympathetic-to-parasympathetic transition when it is large enough to produce a physical response, but subtler or more gradual shifts may not trigger visible physical signals. Some sessions produce a quiet settling rather than a dramatic physical announcement. Some people rarely yawn at all, regardless of what their nervous system is doing. I have worked with clients who felt genuinely deflated after a session because they did not yawn the way they had in earlier rounds. They assumed that meant the session did not work. In most cases, they had already done significant work on the issue previously, and the remaining shifts were quieter. Quieter does not mean smaller. If you are wondering whether your tapping is actually producing results, Pod #703 on why you might feel worse after a round of tapping addresses exactly that concern in detail. Other Physical Signs That Tapping Is Working Yawning is the most commonly noticed signal, but it belongs to a larger family of parasympathetic indicators. After a productive tapping round, you might also notice a deep sigh or a long exhale that seems to come out of nowhere. A shift in the weight of your shoulders or a release of tension in your jaw. A brief wave of tiredness as the nervous system moves out of high alert and the body relaxes toward its resting state. Occasionally a sudden need to use the bathroom, which is the GI tract re-engaging. None of these are problems. They are the body doing its job, communicating in the language it was designed to use. If you have ever felt oddly emotional right after a round of tapping and wondered whether something went wrong, Pod #695 on why you feel sad after tapping walks through the same nervous-system logic applied to emotional release. The Five Stress Responses and What They Mean for Tapping Most people know fight or flight, but the sympathetic nervous system actually produces five distinct stress responses, sometimes called the five Fs: fight, flight, freeze, flop, and fawn. Fight and flight are the most familiar. Freeze is what happens when the threat is so overwhelming that movement seems impossible. Flop is a more extreme collapse response. Fawn is the social version, appeasing and accommodating to neutralize the threat through relationship. All five of these states share the same underlying biochemistry: cortisol, adrenaline, constricted digestion, elevated heart rate, redirected blood flow. And all five can be the state your nervous system is carrying when you sit down to tap on an emotional issue. Key insight: "Every one of those five stress responses is the body trying to keep you safe. Tapping gives the system the signal that the danger has passed and it is safe to stand down." This is why tapping can produce the same yawning and digestive reset regardless of whether the original stress was acute fear, chronic people-pleasing, or old frozen shock. The body's exit route from all five states runs through the same parasympathetic doorway, and the yawn on the other side is the same yawn. What to Do When You Notice These Physical Signals After Tapping When you notice a yawn, a burp, or a gurgle during or after tapping, you do not need to do anything special. Simply acknowledge it as confirmation that your nervous system is responding. A few practices that support this process: Pause after the physical signal. When you yawn or feel a release, give yourself 30 seconds to breathe and let the shift settle before moving on. Notice what changed emotionally. After the signal, check in with the issue you were tapping on. Does it feel different? Smaller? More distant? This is your informal SUDS (Subjective Units of Distress Scale) check, which is the standard 0 to 10 measure of emotional intensity used in EFT. Do not chase the yawn. Tapping longer or harder specifically to produce more yawning is unnecessary. If the yawn happened, the shift happened. Trust it. Keep a short log. Some tappers find it helpful to note physical signals alongside their emotional observations after a session. Over time this builds self-knowledge about how your particular nervous system signals change. If you want a structured way to use tapping consistently and build on these kinds of shifts day by day, 365TappingLessons.com offers a full year of guided sessions built around exactly this kind of body-informed practice. Frequently Asked Questions Why do I yawn so much when I do EFT tapping? Yawning during or after EFT tapping is your nervous system shifting from sympathetic activation (fight or flight) to parasympathetic activation (rest and digest). This shift causes a physical reset in the throat and airway, which produces yawning. Frequent yawning during tapping typically means your sessions are moving significant stored stress through your system. Is yawning after tapping a good sign? Yes. Yawning after tapping is a positive indicator that your nervous system made a genuine transition from a stress state into a recovery state. It is not coincidence. It is the body responding to the biochemical shift that tapping creates. What does it mean when my stomach gurgles during tapping? Stomach gurgles during tapping mean your digestive system is coming back online after being suppressed by a stress response. During fight or flight, digestion essentially shuts down to conserve energy. When tapping moves you into a parasympathetic state, digestion restarts and produces audible sounds. This is a healthy, normal response. Does not yawning mean tapping is not working? No. You can have a highly effective tapping session with no yawning at all. Yawning signals the parasympathetic shift when it is large enough to produce a visible physical response, but subtler shifts may not trigger it. Judge the effectiveness of a session by how the emotional issue feels afterward, not by whether you yawned. Can tapping make you feel tired? Yes, and for a good reason. Coming out of a sustained stress state, even a low-grade chronic one, requires the nervous system to recalibrate. When the parasympathetic system takes over after tapping, the body sometimes relaxes into a brief wave of tiredness. This is normal and typically passes within a few minutes. What are the five F stress responses and how does tapping address them? The five stress responses are fight, flight, freeze, flop, and fawn. All five are expressions of the sympathetic nervous system triggered by perceived danger. Tapping works across all five because it addresses the underlying biochemistry (cortisol, adrenaline, restricted digestion) rather than any one specific behavioral expression of stress. Is there research showing tapping reduces the stress response? Yes. Some of the earliest peer-reviewed studies on EFT measured cortisol levels before and after tapping sessions and found significant reductions within a single session. This physiological evidence supports what tappers report experientially: that tapping produces a measurable shift in the body's stress state, not just a change in perspective.

On this week's episode, host Caryn Antonini is joined by Jessica Davidoff, Founder and CEO of Cob, a corn-free popcorn alternative made from the ancient, nutrient-rich grain sorghum. Jessica's journey began with a deeply personal challenge: when her son developed a severe corn allergy, she set out to create a better, safer snack—one that didn't compromise on taste or nutrition. The result was Cob, a light, cravable puffed sorghum snack that's naturally gluten-free and rich in prebiotic fiber, plant-based protein, and antioxidants. What started as a solution at home quickly gained traction at local farmers' markets, where Cob built a loyal following. Along the way, it caught the attention of Novak Djokovic, who shares Jessica's passion for clean, functional foods. Impressed by both the product and its mission, Djokovic joined the company as a co-founder and investor. Before launching Cob, Jessica built an impressive career as a turnaround CEO for several high-profile, celebrity-led brands. Today, she's channeling that expertise into a new mission: elevating sorghum from an ancient grain to a modern pantry staple.For more information on our guest:Cob | Sorghum-Based Snack Food for Energy, Digestion & Performancecobfoods.com@cobfoodsCaryn Antoniniwww.cultivatedbycaryn.com@carynantonini@cultivatedbycarynshow###Get great recipes from Caryn at https://carynantonini.com/recipes/

Clinical neuroscientist and nutrition researcher Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas returns to The Hidden 20% to challenge one of the most persistent myths in ADHD: that it's just about the brain.In this conversation, Ben and Dr Miguel explore ADHD through a whole-body lens - from nervous system regulation and eating patterns to capacity, sensory sensitivity and the gut–brain axis.They unpack why food isn't just fuel but a regulatory tool, why so many ADHDers struggle with inconsistent eating, and why “just eat better” advice often misses the point entirely. The conversation then goes deeper into why the same food can feel fine one day and intolerable the next, and how what we often label as “food sensitivities” may actually be linked to stress, overload and nervous system state.Join us at hidden20.org/donate.________Host: Ben BransonProduction Manager: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergHead of Marketing: Kristen Fuller00:00 Introduction: ADHD Beyond The Brain01:42 Why ADHD Is a Nervous System Condition05:18 Fight, Flight, Freeze: ADHD & Regulation09:12 Why Food Impacts ADHD More Than You Think13:40 ADHD Eating Patterns: Skipping, Binging & Dopamine18:25 Why “Just Eat Better” Doesn't Work for ADHD22:10 Regulation Before Optimisation: Rethinking Food26:30 Simple Food Changes That Support ADHD Brains31:05 Food, Mood & Energy Crashes Explained35:22 Why The Same Food Feels Different Day to Day38:40 Understanding Capacity in ADHD42:15 Sensory Sensitivity, Stress & The Body45:50 The Gut–Brain Axis Explained Simply49:10 “Food Sensitivities” vs Nervous System Overload53:05 Stress, Digestion & ADHD Explained56:10 What Actually Helps: Supporting Regulation First59:30 Dr Miguel's Green Dot BadgeThe Hidden 20% is a charity founded by AuDHD entrepreneur, Ben Branson.Our mission is simple: To change how the world sees neurodivergence.No more stigma.

If eating feels impossible, like your body shuts down, pushes back, or feels worse after you try, this episode explains why. For many autistic adults, eating challenges are shaped by POTS, nervous system differences, and misunderstood patterns that often get labeled as eating disorders. Here's what's actually happening and small steps that can help. What POTS Is and Why It Changes Eating POTS, or Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, affects how your body regulates heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation. When you move from lying down to sitting or standing, your body may struggle to move blood efficiently. This can lead to dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and a racing heart. Eating adds another layer. Digestion requires blood flow and energy. After you eat, your body redirects resources to your digestive system. If your system is already working hard to manage circulation, this shift can increase symptoms. You might feel more dizzy, more fatigued, or more nauseous after meals. Over time, your body can start to associate eating with feeling worse, which makes it harder to initiate or sustain eating. Autism, Interoception, and Why Hunger Cues Can Feel Unclear Many autistic adults experience differences in interoception, or the ability to read internal body signals. Hunger, fullness, thirst, and early signs of nausea can feel inconsistent, delayed, muted, or overwhelming. When interoception is already variable and you add POTS, where internal signals can shift quickly and intensely, it becomes harder to know when to eat, how much to eat, or what your body needs. You might not feel hunger until you are already depleted, or you might feel a mix of signals that are difficult to interpret. Sensory Overload and Why Food Can Feel Like Too Much Eating is a sensory experience. Texture, temperature, smell, taste, and the physical act of chewing and swallowing all require processing. If your nervous system is already managing dizziness, nausea, or a racing heart, sensory input can quickly become overwhelming. Foods that once felt manageable can start to feel like too much. Eating can shift from neutral to overstimulating or even unsafe. This is a nervous system response, not a character trait. Fatigue, Energy Limits, and Why Meals Get Skipped POTS fatigue can feel like your body loses access to energy, especially when upright. Many autistic adults already navigate energy limits across the day. When eating requires planning, preparing food, sitting upright, tolerating sensory input, and managing symptoms afterward, it can exceed what your body has available. So meals get delayed, minimized, or skipped. Not because you do not care, but because the cost is too high in that moment. When This Gets Misread as an Eating Disorder Low appetite, early fullness, avoiding food because it makes you feel worse, or going long stretches without eating can look like restriction from the outside. Sometimes these patterns are diagnosed as anorexia or another restrictive eating disorder without fully understanding the physiological and neurological context. At the same time, someone can experience both. You can be autistic, have POTS, and have an eating disorder. These experiences can overlap and reinforce each other, which means support needs to reflect the full picture. Why Eating Can Feel Worse Before It Feels Better After eating, blood shifts toward digestion. For someone with POTS, this can increase dizziness, fatigue, and nausea in the short term. Your body learns quickly that eating leads to discomfort. At the same time, not eating can worsen symptoms over time by affecting blood volume and blood sugar stability. This creates a loop where both options feel hard. Small Steps That Can Make Eating More Accessible Instead of raising expectations, this is about lowering the barrier to entry. Start with smaller, more frequent eating opportunities. Even a few bites, a snack, or a drink with calories can be a meaningful step when full meals feel like too much. Experiment with position. If sitting upright increases symptoms, try eating in a more supported or slightly reclined position, or resting before and after eating. Simplify food choices. Repeating foods that feel predictable and manageable can reduce decision-making and sensory load. Convenience foods are valid. Use gentle external cues if hunger signals are unclear. Timers, visual reminders, or pairing eating with another activity can help create structure without pressure. Notice timing. Are there moments in the day when your symptoms feel slightly more manageable? Those windows can support eating. Hydration and electrolytes, if part of your care plan, can support your body's ability to tolerate both standing and eating. Shifting the Question If eating feels impossible, the question is not “What is wrong with me?” It becomes “What is my body responding to, and what would make this easier?” This shift opens the door to more flexible, compassionate approaches that work with your nervous system instead of against it. The Bigger Picture: Being Seen in the Complexity Autistic adults are often misunderstood in healthcare settings. POTS can be underdiagnosed or dismissed. Eating disorders are frequently overlooked in people who do not fit expected presentations. When these experiences overlap, needs are often minimized or misinterpreted. Your lived experience matters. Your body is communicating something real.

In this episode, I sit down with Cynthia Thurlow, nurse practitioner, TEDx speaker, and author of The Menopause Gut, to unpack what is really happening inside the body during this transition. We get into why so many women suddenly feel bloated, constipated, reactive to foods, inflamed, and resistant to weight loss, even when they are eating well and doing all the "right" things. Cynthia breaks down the gut-hormone connection in a way that is smart, practical, and incredibly eye-opening. We also go deeper into leaky gut, digestive enzymes, bile, hydrochloric acid, short-chain fatty acids, fiber, stress, trauma, mitochondria, and why simply putting a woman on HRT is sometimes not enough. This is one of those conversations that makes you realize menopause is not just about your ovaries. It is a full-body shift, and the gut is right in the middle of it. In this episode, we cover: Why the gut is one of the most overlooked systems affected by menopause How declining estrogen and progesterone impact digestion and motility Why women often experience more bloating, constipation, and food sensitivities in midlife The connection between gut health, inflammation, immune changes, and weight loss resistance Why digestive enzymes, stomach acid, and bile production can all become compromised What leaky gut is and why it may become more common during perimenopause and menopause How stress, trauma, and the nervous system can worsen gut and hormone symptoms Why fiber still matters, even if your gut is struggling The role of mitochondria, sleep, movement, and lifestyle foundations in gut recovery Why HRT can help, but often is not the whole story   Visit Cynthia's website here.     Sponsors Try Mito Q Hormone and metabolic control mitoq.com/karenmartel Code: MARTEL10 Get 30% off BATCH Gummies.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, I explore a frequently overlooked but fundamentally important driver of hair health — fat digestion.While much of the conversation around hair loss focuses on nutrients, hormones, and stress, what is often missed is whether your body is actually able to digest, absorb, and utilise those nutrients effectively.We look at how bile production, liver function, and gallbladder activity influence the breakdown and absorption of fats — and why this matters so much for fat-soluble vitamins essential for hair growth.I also explore the role of gut health, including how certain bacteria and endotoxins such as LPS can disrupt digestion and contribute to inflammation, alongside the impact of toxins and mould exposure on bile flow and detoxification pathways.This episode will help you understand why you might feel like you are doing everything right, yet still not seeing progress — and how supporting digestion at a foundational level can shift that. Key Topics Why fat digestion is essential for hair growth and follicle resilience  The role of bile, the liver, and the gallbladder in nutrient absorption  How hormonal shifts, including perimenopause and menopause, influence bile flow  The impact of gut bacteria, dysbiosis, and LPS on inflammation and hair health  How toxins — including mould — are processed and excreted through bile  Why sluggish bile flow can lead to toxin recirculation  Signs that fat digestion may not be working optimally  Practical ways to support digestion, absorption, and detoxification

Everybody wants AI. AI adoption conversations are dominated by tools, models, and metrics. Far fewer organizations have figured out what to do with it once it's inside the building.

Rethinking Inflammation: How ‘Rest And Ice' Is Sabotaging Your Healing Everything you know about inflammation may be wrong. While standard protocols like rest and icing aim to suppress inflammation, new research suggests that an intense, short-term inflammatory response is actually essential for the body's natural healing process. Our expert explains how to rethink our relationship with inflammation and leverage our own biological systems to heal joints and nerves.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers reveals why ginger is one of the most effective natural tools for gut health, joint pain, and heartburn.

In this episode, we revisit bloating through a Chinese medicine lens with Ellen Goldsmith, focusing on digestion as a process of movement, not just intake. We explore how patterns like stagnation, dysregulation, and impaired “downward flow” contribute to symptoms like distension, brain fog, and discomfort. The conversation highlights common contributors such as stress, irregular eating, cold foods, and dietary excesses. We also discuss practical strategies like meal timing, warming foods, and simple dietary adjustments to support more efficient digestion. It's a systems-based approach to understanding why bloating happens and how to address it in a more individualized way.Music provided by Blue Dot.

What if the reason you feel bloated, exhausted, or stuck with weight that won't move has less to do with what you're eating—and more to do with the way you're talking to yourself all day long? If you're dealing with low energy, bloating, hormone imbalance, or feeling like your metabolism just isn't working anymore, this episode connects a piece most people miss—the link between self-judgment, stress, and your physical health. Here's what we explore: • Why your gut health and digestion can shut down before you even take a bite • The surprising way cortisol and stress impact weight loss resistance and hormone balance • How perimenopause and hormonal shifts amplify brain fog, fatigue, and bloating • The hidden "loop" keeping you stuck—and why most solutions aren't working Inside the episode, I explain how your nervous system, gut, and hormones are constantly communicating—and why your body needs safety, not more pressure, to heal. When you're stuck in self-judgment, your body shifts into survival mode. Digestion slows, metabolism becomes inefficient, and symptoms like IBS, exhaustion, and weight gain start to build. But when you change the signal, everything starts to shift. This episode will help you understand why your body feels stuck—and what needs to change so your energy, digestion, and hormones can finally start working for you again. Stop wasting time (and money) on products that don't work.

The world is full of food, but in order to make the most of it, living organisms need to be able to break it down and extract the useful nutrients. This episode, we explore the fundamental process of digestion and the many, many ways that life has adapted this process to various diets. And we'll take a look at what the fossil record has to tell us about ancient diets and the evolutionary history of digestive systems.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Steven Cabral to unpack how gut health, stress, and lifestyle habits impact everything from your immune system to your metabolism.

Episode Highlights With KatieWhy chronic fight-or-flight is not an emotional problem but a physiological state driven by your biologyHow the nervous system decides whether you're safe or unsafe — often without your conscious awarenessThe specific ways stress, trauma, overwhelm, and modern life keep the body stuck in survival modeWhy you can't heal digestion, hormones, immunity, energy, or inflammation until your body feels safeHow your brain, vagus nerve, mitochondria, and hormones respond when your body is in a threat stateThe difference between “danger physiology” and “safety physiology” — and how each shapes your symptomsWhy mindset alone can't regulate your nervous system (but the right habits can)The real role of light, minerals, hydration, movement, and sleep in telling your body it's safeHow to recognize when your body is signaling overwhelm vs. when it's ready for expansionDaily practices that help shift your system from fight-or-flight into repair, digestion, fertility, and resilienceHow rewriting internal language (“I am sick” ? “I am healing”) sends safety cues at a cellular levelWhy expanding your capacity is more effective than trying to “eliminate stress”Practical steps to build a physiology of safety — one that supports long-term health, joy, and adaptabilityResources MentionedJaspr air scrubberWater filters I love and recommend HiyaHiya created a super powered chewable vitamin for kids that packs twelve organic fruits and vegetables plus fifteen essential vitamins and minerals into every dose.
