Real Life Pharmacology - Pharmacology Education for Health Care Professionals
Naltrexone is often a first-line medication for AUD. It works as an opioid receptor antagonist, reducing the rewarding effects of alcohol and decreasing cravings. Patients frequently report that alcohol becomes less pleasurable while taking the medication. Oral naltrexone is typically dosed at 50 mg daily, while a long-acting injectable formulation is also available. Avoid use in patients taking opioids and use caution in significant liver dysfunction. Acamprosate helps maintain abstinence by modulating glutamate and GABA neurotransmission. Chronic alcohol use disrupts the balance between excitatory and inhibitory pathways in the brain, and acamprosate helps restore equilibrium. It is primarily eliminated renally, making it a useful option in patients with liver disease. The most common adverse effect is diarrhea. Disulfiram works through a completely different mechanism. It inhibits aldehyde dehydrogenase, causing acetaldehyde accumulation when alcohol is consumed. This can lead to flushing, nausea, vomiting, headache, and hypotension. Because of this aversive reaction, patient motivation and adherence are critical for success. Be sure to check out our free Top 200 study guide – a 31 page PDF that is yours for FREE!

Have you ever heard of the term “shared-creation” or wondered how it applies to effective collaboration for school-based SLPs?Guest: Mary Mitchell, PhD, CCC-SLPEarn 0.10 ASHA CEUs for this episode with Speech Therapy PDWatch on YoutubeIn this episode of First Bite, Michelle Dawson, MS, CCC-SLP, CLC, BCS-S, FNAP, is joined by Mary Mitchell, PhD, CCC-SLP to explore the many ways collaboration can look in practice and define what true shared-creation collaboration involves for the school-based SLP. Michelle and Mary discuss how the SLP's role shifts across settings, why meaningful collaboration goes far beyond quick conversations or shared paperwork, and how intentional teamwork can help create stronger support systems for students. They share ideas for building authentic partnerships with classroom teachers, navigating common collaboration challenges, and using evidence-based resources to strengthen collaborative practice in schools.About the Guest: Mary Mitchell, PhD, CCC-SLP, is a Clinical Associate Professor in the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Pacific University.

Episode: 3382 Thoughts about coping with the disorder in our lives and the disorder in our world. Today, disorder.
In this deeply transformative episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely welcomes Jeffrey Tambor, a seasoned healer and co-founder of The Thriving Institute™, who has dedicated over two decades to understanding and resolving trauma at its deepest roots. Alongside his partner, Dr. Valerie Rein—who pioneered the concept of Patriarchy Stress Disorder (PSD)—Jeffrey brings a unique perspective on how inherited stress and conditioning live in women's bodies, often without their conscious awareness. Jeffrey shares his personal journey from a debilitating depression in his youth to becoming a guide for women navigating the often turbulent waters of perimenopause and menopause. Together, they explore the concept of PSD - Patriarchy Stress Disorder, explaining how trauma from this life and from generations past—both the big "T" and little "t" varieties—gets passed down epigenetically and manifests as that nagging feeling of never being enough. He discusses why traditional talk therapy and mindset work often fall short when addressing these inherited patterns and offers hope that healing can be faster and more accessible than most women realize. Jeffrey reframes perimenopause not as a crisis to be managed, but as a powerful invitation to shed old identities, reclaim sovereignty, and step into a life of full aliveness. The conversation also touches on how men can show up as conscious allies, the liberating power of rage, and why the world desperately needs awakened grandmothers leading the way. Episode Highlights: What Patriarchy Stress Disorder (PSD) is and how it differs from personal trauma. Why the feeling of "never being enough" often has nothing to do with you personally. How perimenopause serves as an invitation to shed old conditioning and step into authentic power. The difference between processing trauma personally versus addressing inherited ancestral patterns. How to begin moving from survival mode into a state of true thriving and embodiment.

Some kids are picky eaters, but when does it become something more?Feeding challenges can feel overwhelming for families, especially when mealtimes become stressful, food choices become extremely limited, or concerns about nutrition start to grow. That's why I was excited to welcome feeding specialist Margaryta Kuzmin to the podcast. Together, we unpacked the difference between typical picky eating and pediatric feeding disorders, and why early support can make such a meaningful difference.Margaryta shares the developmental reasons many children go through selective eating phases, along with important red flags that may signal a deeper concern. We also explore why feeding difficulties are rarely about food alone. Medical, nutritional, motor, sensory, and social factors can all play a role. I especially loved our discussion about how providers can approach these conversations with families in a supportive, compassionate way.Whether you're a speech-language pathologist, BCBA, educator, or parent, this conversation highlights the power of collaboration and why feeding concerns deserve attention early on.#autism #speechtherapyWhat's Inside:The difference between picky eating and pediatric feeding disordersCommon feeding red flags that professionals and parents should watch forWhy medical, nutritional, sensory, and motor factors all matterThe professionals who make up a strong feeding team and how they work togetherMentioned In This Episode:Feeding MattersKuzmin SLPMargaryta Kuzmin on InstagramEarn CEUs with a community of peers.

Fibromyalgia and adrenal fatigue go hand in hand — and most people are never told why. In this episode, Nurse Doza breaks down five things you need to understand: why fibromyalgia is a nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight, how your adrenals burn out first, why DHEA-S is the one lab that reveals severity, and how to restore rest-and-digest mode with targeted adrenal and neurotransmitter support. Featured Product: Zen Years stuck in fight-or-flight leave your adrenal glands running on empty — and that burnout is the fatigue, poor recovery, and wired-but-tired feeling at the center of fibromyalgia. Zen is an adaptogen formula built for exactly that. It pairs bovine adrenal glandular tissue with a comprehensive blend of botanical adaptogens, B vitamins, and vitamin C to support your stress response, steadier energy, and a calmer nervous system. Take one capsule twice daily to start supporting the system from the inside.

Don't you just love when decency interjects and sometimes people do the right thing, the orderly thing, the sane thing? Well voters of Makerfield have chosen order and unity over disorder and division, and now Starmer has done the right thing. The Orderly Transition to Burnham is on its way and it is an example of a prime opportunity for the institutions of Britain to showcase themselves to the domestic and international publics as orderly and functional. So Jason starts by introducing this existing moment and then pivoting to regularly scheduled programming about international ordering that still works: NATO. With the NATO Summit in Ankara fast approaching, will the fractures between Europe and America be on full display? Or will one of the world's most successful alliances in human history come together and make a show of unity? To preview the summit and survey global affairs from peacemaking to defence spending, Jason is joined by Ambassador Alessandro Minuto-Rizzo, the President of the NATO Defense College Foundation and former Deputy Secretary General of NATO (2001-8). The duo discuss what will come out of the Ankara communique, the future of Italian politics, and as they Order the Disorder - the role of NATO in the years to come. Ambassador Minuto-Rizzo puts forth his solutions to the Ukraine war, various ideas why giving up territory might not be that important these days, and his overall philosophy of optimism and keeping calm and carrying on. It might not be how everyone would look at global affairs, but it is very interesting that a man with five decades of high level diplomatic experience has this approach. Hope you enjoy.

A lot has changed for Palestine Action since our last recording on the topic in February. Last week, the Court of Appeal ruled that the Government ban on the pro-Palestine direct-action group was lawful, and just days before, a group of Palestine Action activists, 'the Filton 25', were jailed for targeting Elbit Systems, Israel's largest weapons manufacturer, in protest against the war in Gaza. Charlie and Nicholas unpack the law around the recent events and share their expert thoughts on the respective rulings.

This moment in America is living proof that the path to a just society requires the shedding of false narratives that demonize people and communities for social currency and political gain. These narratives influence how elected officials expend fiscal resources and which policies and regulations they enact. And it takes education, organizing and relationship building by nonprofits and people with lived experience to dispel myths and adopt new-found truths. In this episode of Power Station, Damien Cabezas, President and CEO of Community Connections DC, the largest nonprofit provider of mental health services in the nation's capital, offers a powerful example of how an historically maligned community remains stigmatized and profoundly misunderstood. While the public perceives that 70% of people with mental illness are violent the reality is that people with mental illness are more likely to be victims than perpetrators of crime. And as he explains, treatment, along with access to stable housing and community-based supports, leads to recovery and the capacity to thrive. Damien is an exceptional leader and advocate for people navigating mental illness and substance abuse disorders. He knows the costs to families, our economy and society when we embrace stigma over solutions.

Does Nature really need us to organize forest floors? And do we all suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) to some extent? We often think of OCD as being a personal affliction, but as Thom explains in this episode, it's much broader than that, reflecting a general lack of trust in Nature's organizing power. Thom explores OCD through the lenses of entropy, control, addiction, and inner order, and how we can collectively display OCD-like traits. Thom explains how Vedic Meditation can complement existing treatments by helping the brain settle into a more orderly state., and he also shares a simple coming-to-your-senses technique that can help quiet obsessive momentum in the moment. Listen or watch to learn how a deeper experience of inner order can change the way we relate to the world around us.

We've finally made it - the pivotal Post Punk year of 1979. Well, sort of. It wouldn't be LITM without a little extra detail, so Jeremy and Tim cue up our arrival with a couple of tracks from '78 for good measure. They talk Tom Robinson Band, Undertones and the Only Ones, exploring ‘dole queue rock', everydayness and the limits of politically self-conscious music of the period. Later in the show they tuck into a couple of indie disco staples to examine emergent New Wave, de-masculination, Manchester and the Iron Lady. Finally, for the first time on the show, the guys spend time on perhaps the most iconic post punkers of all: Joy Division. This is our last main feed episode for a little while - we'll be back in mid-August.

A special parliamentary committee is recommending that the federal government "indefinitely exclude" people whose sole underlying condition is a mental illness from applying for medical assistance in dying (MAID). Recent polling from Angus Reid found the country is divided when it comes to expanding MAID, while some legal experts say it is a violation of people's constitutional rights.

Cara Altimus, the CEO of BD², and Emily Baxi, the Program Director of BD²'s Integrated Network, are focused on integrating research and clinical care to improve outcomes for people with bipolar disorder. They emphasize the gaps in diagnostics and effective treatments and the need to collect comprehensive biological and clinical data to enable a precision medicine approach. Their Integrated Network is a longitudinal, large-scale study that complements their investments in new therapeutics, moving away from a trial-and-error approach to effective interventions for individuals. Cara explains, "When we think about the mission of BD², it's that we're bringing innovators and patients and the world together to drive new discovery, new understanding, and improved outcomes for people with bipolar disorder so that all people with bipolar disorder can thrive. And that thrive piece is critical to what we do. We're not just thinking about how we will change symptom outcomes, but we are thinking about how we engage across the whole life and all of the components of life, with science at the forefront of what we do." Emily elaborates, "I think it's important to acknowledge here that the tools and the technologies that we have today are quite different from even those that we had 20, 15 years ago, and they've really set the stage for how we can bring research and clinical care together. So we didn't have electronic health records in the past. We didn't have the ability to understand both from a phenotype level, meaning, can we understand the biology? Can we understand the clinical trajectory, the course of somebody's illness?" "We just didn't have the same tools to really bring clarity and understanding to that. So one of the reasons we're so excited about the Integrated Network is that it represents a framework where we're bringing those components together so that research and clinical care are really sitting side by side. So, in practice, that looks like a longitudinal cohort study." #BipolarDiscoveries #BipolarDisorder #MentalHealthResearch #PrecisionPsychiatry #LearningHealthSystem #IntegratedCare #Psychiatry #HealthcareInnovation #ClinicalResearch #DataDrivenCare #PopulationHealth bipolardiscoveries.org Download the transcript here

Today, I am thrilled to connect with Dr. Linda Bluestein, a board-certified anesthesiologist and integrative pain medicine physician specializing in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, hypermobility spectrum disorders, and related conditions, including POTS, mast cell activation, and chronic pain. In our discussion, we discuss the invisible illness problem and complex medical illnesses, and Dr. Bluestein shares how being diagnosed with EDS in her 40s prompted her to pivot her career to focus on what is missing in medicine regarding those complex illnesses. We explore different types of hypermobility conditions and why women are disproportionately more affected by those conditions than men. We clarify what hypermobility means, the cluster of EDS, POTS, and MCAS, what to do when you have unexplained multi-system symptoms, and how AI can be beneficial. We also examine pain science, hypermobility, sympathetic overdrive, kinesiophobia, anesthesia considerations in connective tissue disorders, and the impact of midlife transitions, HRT, medical gaslighting, nervous system regulation, movement, nutrition, and validation and hope for patients with complex medical illnesses. I am delighted to share this informative conversation with Dr. Linda Bluestein with the Everyday Wellness community, and look forward to having Dr. Bluestein back to explore this topic further. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How patients with complex symptoms often go from specialist to specialist, yet none of them connect the dots. How patients tend to be blamed when treatments fail How POTS diagnosis is often based on heart rate changes, even though it's not primarily a heart rate condition How dysautonomia affects multiple body systems How, apart from joint flexibility, hypermobility can also involve skin, tissues, organs, and multiple body systems. How EDS, POTS, and MCAS can overlap The value of AI tools for helping patients organize complex symptom histories How sympathetic overdrive and kinesiophobia can worsen chronic pain The impact of medical gaslighting Bio: Dr. Linda Bluestein Dr. Linda Bluestein is a board-certified anesthesiologist and integrative pain medicine physician who specializes in Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes, hypermobility spectrum disorders, and related conditions, such as POTS, mast cell activation, and chronic pain. She is the founder of Hypermobility MD and the host of the internationally recognized Bendy Bodies Podcast, where she bridges the gap between patients and clinicians by unpacking complex medicine through a pattern-based, whole-person lens. Dr. Bluestein is also an EDS patient herself, bringing both clinical expertise and lived experience to conversations about diagnostic delays, medical gaslighting, and compassionate, effective care.

Every June, one of the most common questions that floods gardening groups, emails, and extension offices is some version of: “My tomato leaves are turning brown — do I have blight?” The confusion is completely understandable, because there are two diseases that get lumped under that word — and they are caused by completely different organisms, show up in different ways, and require completely different responses. Treating late blight like early blight — or vice versa — can mean the difference between saving your plants and losing your entire harvest. In this episode, horticulturist and market farmer Karin Velez breaks both diseases down in plain language: what they look like, where they show up on the plant, what conditions favor them, how fast they move, what happens if you ignore them, and exactly what to do when you find either one. Whether you're seeing spots on your lowest leaves or a whole section of your garden that looks like it got hit by frost overnight, this episode will help you figure out what you're looking at — and what to do next. Let's dig in.

Embodied Faith: on Relational Neuroscience, Spiritual Formation, and Faith
Geoff continues talking with regular guest David Clayton about how the Desert Fathers and Mothers understood sin as discorder (of all kinds) and how asceticism was a path toward freedom to love God and others. They discuss sin not merely as rule-breaking but as patterns that impair clear seeing, free choosing, and loving well. Asceticism is presented as training that frees the heart by reshaping habits, while emphasizing grace, mercy, and the hope to “begin again” each day. They particularly focus on the concept of "watchfulness" and the neuroscience of "paying attention."

A former cop moves into a close-knit neighborhood, hoping for a quieter life and a clean break from his past. Used to command and control, he pushes back hard, and the tight-knit community closes ranks in response. What begins as curt exchanges over fences and driveways steadily escalates into surveillance, accusations, and calculated intimidation. As pride hardens and tempers flare, every slight becomes ammunition in a simmering feud that spirals beyond reason. Eventually, guns are drawn, loyalties are tested, and blood is spilled on a street that once prided itself on peace. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In Part 2 of this special two-part series on genetic lipid disorders, Susan Robbins welcomes back renowned lipidologist Dr. Tom Dayspring for an eye-opening discussion on Lipoprotein(a), often written as Lp(a), one of the most common yet overlooked genetic cardiovascular risk factors in the world. While many people focus on standard cholesterol numbers, Dr. Dayspring explains why Lp(a) deserves far more attention and why major cardiovascular organizations now recommend that every person be tested at least once in their lifetime.Together, Susan and Dr. Dayspring break down the science behind Lp(a), how it differs from traditional cholesterol markers, and why elevated levels can significantly increase the risk of atherosclerosis, stroke, and aortic valve disease. They discuss the role genetics play in determining Lp(a) levels, why lifestyle changes remain important even when they do not directly lower Lp(a), and how advanced testing can provide a more complete picture of cardiovascular risk.This conversation also tackles common misconceptions surrounding cholesterol, statins, and influencer-driven health advice. Dr. Dayspring shares practical guidance on what to do if you discover you have elevated Lp(a), how to advocate for yourself within the healthcare system, and why understanding your unique biology is essential for protecting long-term health.In this episode:What Lipoprotein(a) or Lp(a) is and why it mattersWhy Lp(a) is one of the most common genetic lipid disorders worldwideThe connection between elevated Lp(a), heart disease, stroke, and aortic valve diseaseWhy every person should consider being tested for Lp(a) at least onceHow genetics determine Lp(a) levels throughout lifeThe difference between Lp(a), LDL cholesterol, and ApoBWhy standard cholesterol testing may miss important cardiovascular risk factorsThe role of oxidized phospholipids in cardiovascular diseaseIf you've ever been told your cholesterol is "normal" but still have a family history of heart disease, stroke, or unexplained cardiovascular events, this episode offers critical information that could help you ask better questions, pursue the right testing, and become a stronger advocate for your own health.Learn more about Dr. Tom Dayspring on the website shownotes!https://healthyawakening.co/2026/06/15/episode128/RESOURCES:Connect with Dr. Tom DayspringX: https://x.com/drlipidhttps://familyheart.org/https://healthyawakening.co/2026/06/15/episode128/Connect with Susan: https://healthyawakening.co/Visit the website: healthyawakening.co/podcastFind listening links here: https://healthyawakening.co/linksP.S.

We have talked already about the link between autism and dementia, however a lesser known association is the one between autism and another disorder of aging: Parkinson’s Disease. A recent presentation at INSAR revealed what is known about the relationship, why they are related, what causes the association and what people with autism can do to possibly mitigate the onset of dementia and Parkinson’s Disease. Thank you to Dr. Blair Braden and Samantha Harker and Manuela Velez Galindo from the Autism and Brain Aging Lab at Arizona State University (@autismbrainaginglab @asuresearch) for joining this podcast and explaining the findings so far and what they mean for individuals and families with autism. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25911091

In this episode, I explain why PCOS is now better understood as Polyendocrine Metabolic Syndrome (PMOS). While the traditional name focuses on the ovaries, the reality is that this condition often extends far beyond reproductive health. I discuss why many women with PCOS don't actually have ovarian cysts, how the condition can affect everything from insulin and metabolism to cortisol, inflammation, gut health, and hormone balance, and why this updated framework may lead to more accurate diagnoses and more personalized care. I also walk through the different patterns I commonly see in clinical practice, including insulin-resistant, lean, inflammatory, adrenal, post-pill, postpartum, and mixed presentations. We explore why women are so often overlooked when they don't fit the typical PCOS profile, the lab markers that can provide a more complete picture of what's happening beneath the surface, and why understanding the root drivers of symptoms matters. Whether you're dealing with irregular cycles, fertility challenges, acne, weight changes, hair loss, fatigue, or simply feel like something isn't adding up, this episode offers a broader way to think about a condition that has long been oversimplified. Topics We Cover in This Episode: Why many experts believe the term PMOS better reflects the reality of this condition The key reasons PCOS has historically been misunderstood and underdiagnosed How insulin resistance can influence hormone symptoms long before blood sugar becomes abnormal Why women who are thin can still experience significant metabolic dysfunction The different patterns that can contribute to PMOS symptoms and why they matter How stress, cortisol, inflammation, and gut health may influence hormone balance Which lab markers can help uncover what is driving symptoms beneath the surface Why individualized treatment strategies often produce better outcomes than a one-size-fits-all approach If you found this conversation helpful, be sure to subscribe so you don't miss future episodes on hormones, metabolism, and whole-body health.

According to the American National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders, around 9% of the US population are affected by an eating disorder. We've all heard of anorexia, bulimia and binge eating, which are among the most commonly diagnosed. But there is also orthorexia. It's called orthorexia, coming from the Latin words “orthos”, meaning correct and “orexis”, meaning appetite. American doctor Steven Bratman coined the term in 1997. To put it simply, orthorexia is a need to eat healthy at all costs, to the extent that it becomes an obsession. Those affected start cutting out certain foods completely, or even seeing them as dangerous when they're not really. Scientifically speaking, orthorexia isn't recognised as an eating disorder in its own right, at least not yet. So it's hard to find any precise data on how many people are affected. But it's still more dangerous than you might think. Isn't eating healthily recommended by medical professionals? How can I find out if I suffer from orthorexia?

What does bipolar disorder look like at work? In this candid and relatable conversation, Shaley sits down with mental health advocate Brandon to talk about the realities of navigating employment while living with bipolar disorder. From thriving in creative environments to struggling with organization, depression, anxiety, rejection sensitivity, and workplace expectations, they share personal stories of jobs that worked, jobs that didn't, and the lessons they've learned along the way. Together, they explore how bipolar disorder can impact productivity, communication, confidence, relationships with coworkers, and even the way we organize our desks, calendars, and lives. They also discuss the overlap between bipolar disorder and ADHD, the pressure of fitting into traditional workplace structures, and why understanding your strengths can be a game changer. This episode is a reminder that success doesn't have to look like everyone else's version of success. Sometimes "organized chaos" is still success, and sometimes the key is finding environments that allow you to work with your brain instead of against it. Whether you're struggling at work, supporting someone who is, or trying to better understand how bipolar disorder impacts employment, this conversation offers honesty, hope, and practical insights. 6 Important Timestamps (00:00:00) Introduction and discussion about bipolar disorder, employment, and finding work environments that fit your strengths.

In this episode of The Visible Voices Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Scott Weiner, emergency physician, associate professor at Harvard Medical School, and founder of system-wide substance use disorder programming. Dr. Weiner shares the patient cases that set his life's work in motion, including a fatal overdose on Boston Common that changed how he understood both medicine and advocacy. Scott addresses the troubling gap in opioid education in American schools, the promise of wearable technology for monitoring patients in recovery, and the real reasons overdose deaths are finally starting to decline. Opioid use disorder is not a moral failure — it is a public health crisis. ▶ Subscribe on YouTube @resaelewissmd — new Visible Voices episodes Wednesdays.

Why do so many people continue to struggle with thyroid symptoms, hormone imbalances, fatigue, weight gain, digestive issues, and poor health even when their lab work looks "normal"? In this episode of The Thyroid Answers Podcast, Dr. Eric Balcavage sits down with board-certified endocrinologist Dr. Cassie Smith to discuss her new book, Fix Your Gut, Fix Your Hormones, and the critical role gut physiology plays in hormone health. Dr. Smith shares her journey from traditional endocrinology to a more physiology-based approach after recognizing that many of her patients continued to get sicker despite receiving standard medical treatment. Together, they explore how gut health, chronic stress, inflammation, lifestyle factors, and cellular physiology influence hormone production, hormone metabolism, thyroid function, insulin regulation, estrogen balance, and overall health. The conversation highlights why optimizing lab values alone often fails to resolve symptoms and why addressing the underlying physiologic patterns affecting the body may be a more effective path toward lasting health improvements. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why many patients continue to struggle despite "normal" lab results How gut health influences thyroid hormone conversion and utilization The connection between chronic stress, gut dysfunction, and hormone imbalance Why insulin resistance is often driven by more than just diet The role of the gut microbiome in estrogen metabolism and detoxification How inflammation can affect hormone signaling at the cellular level Why hormone replacement does not always resolve symptoms The importance of addressing lifestyle, sleep, stress, nutrition, and gut function alongside hormone optimization How chronic physiologic strain may contribute to ongoing thyroid and hormone symptoms Why understanding physiology may be more important than chasing lab numbers Key Topics Discussed Gut microbiome and hormone metabolism Thyroid physiology and T4 to T3 conversion Insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction GLP-1 physiology Estrogen metabolism and the estrobolome Chronic stress and allostatic load Inflammation and cellular hormone signaling Leaky gut and immune activation Functional medicine and root-cause approaches Hormone replacement therapy considerations Lifestyle factors that influence hormone health About Dr. Cassie Smith Dr. Cassie Smith, MD is a dual board-certified endocrinologist, Founder of Modern Endocrine, and Chief Medical Officer of Renthyroid. She also serves on the medical faculty of Evexias Medical, a bioidentical hormone company. Dr. Smith is known for helping patients uncover why they still feel unwell despite "normal" lab results by using a holistic, root-cause approach to gut, metabolic, thyroid, and hormonal health. After completing her fellowship at the Harold Hamm Diabetes Center and being named a Top Doctor by 405 Magazine, Dr. Smith grew frustrated with the limitations of conventional care and built a model focused on treating the whole person—not just symptoms. She is the author of Fix Your Gut, Fix Your Hormones: The Critical Connection Your Doctor Is Missing… and Why You Still Feel Bad Despite Normal Labs, and through her popular podcast, Hormones, Metabolism, and You, she translates complex endocrinology into practical, actionable guidance. Today, Dr. Smith and her team help thousands of patients each year get to the root cause of gut health issues, hormone imbalances, thyroid disease, and weight resistance. She is licensed to provide telehealth and in-clinic care across 47 states, based in Oklahoma. She is the author of Fix Your Gut, Fix Your Hormones and host of the Hormones, Metabolism, and You podcast. Resources & Links
This is my personal favorite topic, but probably your least favorite: strength training. Before you run away, hear me out! Because whether you’re bed-bound, housebound, or just convinced your body can’t handle it right now, this episode is for you. I’m breaking down exactly WHY resistance and strength training isn’t just helpful for vestibular disorders—it’s essential. You Have to Move Your Body to Manage Your Dizziness From the dizzy-anxious-dizzy cycle to blood sugar regulation to better sleep to reduced inflammation, strength training touches virtually every struggle vestibular warriors face. I’m not letting anyone off the hook, but I am meeting you exactly where you are. Starting with 3 minutes? That counts. Walking to the mailbox and back? That counts too. Because the goal here is progress, not perfection. And you know I have the science to back every single word of it! In this episode, we'll dig into: Why strength training is non-negotiable for vestibular disorder management How exercise helps break the dizzy-anxious-dizzy cycle “In the moment” vs. “hangover” dizziness and how to adjust your approach Why EDS, HSD, or MCAS makes building muscle even more critical The truth about the fear of getting “bulky” How to start exercising when you’re bedbound or couch-bound What physical activity guidelines actually say, and where most people fall short How functional movements like the deadlift directly support vestibular patients How Vestibular Group Fit makes strength and resistance training accessible Whether you start with 3 minutes or 30, the most important thing is that you start. Because your vestibular system, your mood, your balance, and your future self are all counting on it.

In this episode, Dr. K explores the intersection of psychiatry and spirituality to answer the profound question of whether individuals with multiple personalities share a single soul. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory, neuroscience, and yogic philosophy, he explains how severe trauma can shatter the psyche. He argues that the resulting dissociation is a desperate attempt by the mind to protect a person's vital spark of aliveness from an overwhelming tsunami of negativity. What to expect in this episode: The Consensus on the Soul: An exploration of how various traditions define the soul not as a religious concept, but as the central witnessing and experiencing force that exists beyond the ordinary mind. The Pokemon Trainer Analogy: A look at how a healthy person manages different aspects of their personality like connected "Pokemon," whereas in Dissociative Identity Disorder, the unifying "trainer" is lost and personalities switch without coordination. The Siege of Helm's Deep: A breakdown of how overwhelming childhood trauma forces the mind to wall off its "vital spark" of joy and innocence to protect it from annihilation. Depersonalization vs. Derealization: Understanding the difference between feeling like an "empty shell" with no internal self and feeling like the outside world is trapped behind a "glass wall" or fog. Avatars of the Ultra-Real: Why individuals who have been heavily traumatized often develop an uncanny capacity for mystical experiences and access to a non-ordinary reality that better-adapted people cannot perceive. The Brain Bisection Debate: Exploring neuroscience experiments where severing the connection between brain hemispheres creates two independent consciousnesses, challenging the idea of a single, transcendent soul. The "Dark Side" of Spirituality: Why internal protectors can sometimes turn into malevolent persecutors or "demons" that resist the healing process in psychotherapy. Standing in the Spaces: A technical look at how healing involves moving from defensive switching to the capacity to feel like oneself while being many, maintaining continuity across all aspects of life. Rewiring the Narrative: Practical insights on using autonomic rewiring and identity formation to help the mind handle high emotional energy without fracturing.
