In today's episode, we detail the enteric nervous system and regulation of gastrointestinal motility. We discuss factors including dysautonomia, stress, microbial overgrowth, and more, with regards to potential effects upon gastrointestinal motility. We further detail symptoms of altered GI motility. Topics:1. Introduction to Gastrointestinal Motility- Orchestrated contraction of smooth muscles that propel contents along the digestive tract.  - Roles in mixing, absorption, and preventing bacterial overgrowth.- Disruptions in motility. 2. The Enteric Nervous System (ENS) and Its Role- Myenteric and submucosal plexus.- Coordinating contractions and relaxations for effective motility. - Mucosa includes epithelium, lamina propria, and muscle.  - Submucosa houses the submucosal plexus.  - Muscularis externa. - Inner circular and outer longitudinal muscle layers with the myenteric plexus in between.   3. The Role of Interstitial Cells of Cajal (ICCs)- Specialized pacemaker cells in muscular layers  - Generate slow-wave electrical activity to synchronize smooth muscle contractions  - Critical for peristalsis.- Work with neural inputs to fine-tune gut motility   4. Dysautonomia and Its Impact on Gut Motility- Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system (ANS)  - Motility impacts- Microbial overgrowth, SIBO 5. Gastrointestinal Dysmotility- Neurological dysregulation - Structural abnormalities and smooth muscle dysfunction  - Hormonal imbalances - Microbial overgrowth - Autoimmunity  6. The HPA Axis- Hypothalamus, pituitary gland, adrenal glands  - Central to the stress response and interlinked with gut function  - The amygdala and PVN of the hypothalamus  - CRH stimulates ACTH, leading to cortisol release from adrenal glands   7. Cortisol and Gut Barrier Function- Cortisol is a glucocorticoid that modulates immune function and gut physiology  - Chronic cortisol exposure can impair tight junction (TJ) integrity  - Increases paracellular permeability and allows passage of antigens and endotoxins   8.Stress-Induced Changes in Gut Motility- Slow gastric motility - Increased colonic motility  9.

In this episode, we explore some of the neural and cellular mechanisms underlying gastrointestinal motility, emphasizing the roles of the enteric nervous system (ENS) and interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) in coordinating smooth muscle contractions throughout the digestive tract. We detail disruptions in motility seen in dysautonomia, intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO), and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). And, we finish with a brief discussion on the impacts of low stomach acid. Topics: 1. Introduction to Gastrointestinal Motility - Coordinated contractions of smooth muscle that move food, liquid, and waste through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. - Neural, hormonal, and microbial factors. - Intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO) and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). 2. Neural Regulation of Gut Motility - The enteric nervous system (ENS) embedded in the walls of the GI tract. - The ENS, central nervous system (CNS), and vagus nerve. - The myenteric plexus governs motor control and peristalsis, while the submucosal plexus regulates secretion, absorption, and blood flow. - Stress and motility 3. Cellular Regulation of Gut Motility - Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs), pacemaker cells located near smooth muscle cells. - ICCs generate slow-wave electrical activity. - Acetylcholine enhances smooth muscle contraction. 4. Dysmotility and Potential Contributing Factors - Impaired ICC function, smooth muscle dysfunction, nervous system dysfunction. - Dysautonomia, a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. - External stressors, hormonal imbalances, and more. 5. Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth (IMO) - Characterized by an overgrowth of methane-producing archaea in the intestines. - Excess methane production affects smooth muscle activity and can slow intestinal transit. - Symptoms such as bloating, abdominal discomfort, constipation. - Breath testing. 6. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) - Excessive bacterial colonization in the small intestine, disrupting normal gut function. - Protective mechanisms including stomach acid and intestinal motility. - Low stomach acid (hypochlorhydria) reduces the acidic environment needed to inhibit bacterial colonization. - Bloating, diarrhea/constipation, and more. 7. Overlap Between IMO and SIBO - Excess hydrogen produced in SIBO can serve as a substrate for methane production in IMO. - Can exacerbate each other, creating a loop that worsens symptoms. 8. Addressing Dysmotility and Overgrowth - Determining the root cause of dysmotility. - Dysmotility can involve multiple regions of the GI tract. Thank you to our episode sponsors: 1.

The connection between Dysautonomia and the Upper Cervical Spine

In this episode, we explore the intricate role of the vagus nerve as a central regulator within the microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis, examining its neuroanatomical structure, signaling mechanisms, and interactions with microbial metabolites and immune pathways. We discuss how vagal afferent fibers relay sensory input from the gut to the brain, including signals mediated by short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and gut-derived hormones, and how efferent fibers modulate gut motility, intestinal barrier integrity, and inflammation through the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. Finally, we explore vagal dysfunction as well as associated conditions and symptoms, and we touch on just a few potential root causes. Topics: 1. Introduction Focus on the vagus nerve's role in the microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis. Bidirectional communication between the brain and microbiota. Overview of communication pathways: neural (e.g., vagus nerve), endocrine (e.g., HPA axis), immune (e.g., cytokines), and metabolic (e.g., SCFAs). 2. Overview of the Nervous System The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord - control centers for the body. The peripheral nervous system extends beyond the CNS The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. 3. Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) and Subdivisions Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) Enteric Nervous System (ENS) 4. The Vagus Nerve and Role in the PNS Principal component of the parasympathetic nervous system. Governs "rest-and-digest" activities Contains both afferent (80%) and efferent (20%) fibers. 5. Vagus Nerve Anatomy Fibers originate at the base of the skull and extend into the gut wall. Fibers distributed throughout the mucosa, submucosa, and beyond. Interact indirectly with gut luminal contents via specialized gut cells, including EECs and immune cells. 6. Interaction with Intestinal Cells Enteroendocrine cells (EECs) release gut hormones in response to microbial metabolites. SCFAs, such as butyrate, activate free fatty acid receptors on EECs, stimulating vagal afferents. Immune cells within the gut wall modulate vagal signals during inflammatory responses. 7. Review of Functions Sensory input (afferent fibers): Detects gut-derived signals like microbial metabolites and mechanical stretch. Motor output (efferent fibers): Regulates gut motility, secretion, immune responses, and more. 8. Impact of a Diverse Microbiome on Vagal Activity Enhanced SCFA production boosts vagal activity. SCFAs improve gut barrier integrity, reduce systemic inflammation, and assist in regulating stress responses. 9. Examples: Intestinal Barrier Function Releases acetylcholine (ACh) to modulate inflammatory pathways. Helps enhance tight junction protein expression, preserving gut barrier integrity. Helps prevent the translocation of microbial endotoxins like LPS into systemic circulation. 10. Dysfunction of the Vagus Nerve Reduced vagal tone disrupts gut homeostasis. Conditions such as IBS, IBD, chronic fatigue syndrome, anxiety, depression, and POTS. Chronic stress, infections, and dysbiosis are common contributors. 11. Root Causes 12. Tying Back to the HPA Axis Low vagal tone is associated with increased HPA axis activity. Highlighting the interplay between the gut, brain, and stress response systems. 13. Conclusion Identifying potential root causes. Contributing lifestyle factors.

In this episode I am talking to Sarah Ariela who was diagnosed with Dysautonomia in 2008. Sarah spent 15 years honoring strange requests from her body (no standing/walking for years, no sitting for years, no speaking for years). She underwent invasive treatments including plasma exchanges. Sarah has now remembered that if she is a human, she is also a healer. Her use of the Meridians has helped her understand and communicate with her body as she healed from illness. I loved her energy and the discoveries that she has made for herself - proof that we can all find a modality that speaks to us and will help us to heal.

One key theme in this episode of Raise the Line is that attention to details matters for both patients with post-acute infection syndromes and the clinicians helping them as they grapple with often debilitating symptoms caused by dysautonomia, cardiac complications and other disorders. For patients, it's about paying close attention to their bodies and diet, and being intentional about their use of energy. For providers, it's listening very carefully to patients as they describe their fatigue, pain, lightheadedness and other symptoms and keeping up with the latest research on  treatments so there are options to offer if there's little or no progress being made in physical therapy, which is sometimes the case. “Don't just assume therapy is gonna go smooth. It rarely goes smooth. So, have an answer for the patient who says, ‘I'm not feeling better, what should I try next,'” says Dr. David Putrino, director of the Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illnesses (CoRE) at Mount Sinai. It's also important to set expectations for patients who may think a few weeks of PT will resolve their issues, as is often the case with recovery from an injury. “What we're looking to do is reduce the number of flare-ups that happen, reduce the severity of those flare-ups, and ideally reach a point of symptom stability,” says Dr. Jenna Tosto, a leading expert in neurophysiological rehabilitation at Mount Sinai. To help patients understand the amount of progress happening, if any, host Dr. Raven Baxter, a long COVID patient herself, says keeping a daily journal and using fitness trackers can reveal important details. This expansive conversation includes valuable insights for patients and providers alike on breathwork, emotional regulation and other techniques to try during the search for improvement and recovery in complex chronic illnesses. Mentioned in this episode:Mount Sinai Health SystemSteven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel discusses the root causes of behavioral issues in children from a neurological perspective. He explains how a perfect storm of factors including high stress pregnancy, birth interventions/trauma, and early exposure to medications can lead to a child's nervous system becoming stuck in a sympathetic dominant, fight-or-flight state. This dysregulation of the nervous system manifests as behavioral issues, ADHD, anxiety, and other challenges. Dr. Ebel emphasizes the importance of identifying these root causes and provides guidance on seeking help from a nervous system focused chiropractor to address the underlying neurological imbalances.Key Topics Covered:00:05:00 - Common attempts to address behavioral issues (diet changes, supplements, etc.) 00:08:00 - The real root cause: overstressed, sympathetic dominant nervous system 00:11:00 - Behavioral issues stem from nervous system dysregulation and exhaustion 00:14:00 - Determining if a child's behavioral issues are a real problem vs. normal development 00:17:00 - The perfect storm: factors that trigger nervous system stress and dysregulation00:22:00 - Dysautonomia and dyskinesis: neurological terms related to nervous system imbalance 00:24:00 - Proprioception: the role of movement in regulating the nervous system 00:26:00 - Subluxation: the physical misalignment and tension causing nervous system dysfunction 00:28:00 - Identifying behavioral issues: severity, frequency, and the perfect storm factors 00:30:00 - Finding answers: neurological insight scans and nervous system focused chiropractic care 00:32:00 - The importance of sharing this information with other parents seeking help-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Diagnosing Post-Acute Infection Syndromes: Special Series from The Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illnesses at Mount Sinai“Tick-borne illnesses are incredibly stealthy and complicated and if I wasn't living and breathing it every day and seeing the intensity of these symptoms in patients, I would never believe it,” says Shannon Delaney, a psychiatrist in private practice in New York City. The complexity of such illnesses and the symptoms they cause is a key reason it can often take years to reach a diagnosis, which is the focus of this episode of Raise the Line, part of a special series on post-acute infection syndromes that Osmosis from Elsevier has created in partnership with the Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illnesses (CoRE) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital. In addition to Dr. Delaney, host Dr. Raven Baxter of CoRE welcomes Dr. Amy Kontorovich, an associate professor in Cardiology and Genomic Medicine at the Icahn School and Dr. David Putrino, director of Rehabilitation Innovation at Mount Sinai, to explore the limitations of current diagnostic tools and protocols and what changes are needed to improve patient care. Key themes include developing better tests for pathogens and educating providers to listen more carefully to patients. “In a typical medical encounter, the biggest dropped ball is completely disregarding an acute infection in the medical history,” stresses Putrino. All agree that providers need to be more comfortable with uncertainty and resist the urge to develop treatment plans that don't address root causes. “If more doctors could just say, ‘I don't know' I think it would do a great service to patients," adds Kontorovich. This is a candid and enlightening discussion about the importance of developing a collaborative, patient-centered mindset to provide the best care for those suffering with a range of post-acute infection syndromes.Mentioned in this episode: Mount Sinai Health SystemSteven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation

In this deep dive episode on anxiety, Dr. Tony Ebel discusses the anxiety epidemic impacting kids, teens and young adults today. He explains how anxiety has physical and neurological roots, often starting with triggers in pregnancy, birth trauma, and early childhood development that shift the nervous system into a stuck sympathetic "fight or flight" state. This leads to dysautonomia and an imbalance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.While factors like technology overuse, lack of movement, and toxins can worsen anxiety, Dr. Ebel explains that the core issue lies in subluxation and nervous system dysregulation impacting key brain areas like the cerebellum, vagus nerve, amygdala and prefrontal cortex. The solution lies in addressing the root causes through Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care that helps restore nervous system balance and function. This allows kids to get out of the anxiety storm and experience their optimal potential.Key Topics Covered:00:01:05 - The anxiety epidemic impacting kids, teens and young adults 00:10:34 - Symptoms and definition of anxiety 00:16:57 - Story illustrating the social/emotional challenges today's teens face 00:22:24 - Startling statistics on the dramatic rise in anxiety and depression 00:26:31 - Preparing kids to face adversity and build resilience 00:35:50 - Hannah's story - anxiety with physical manifestations 00:43:58 - Anxiety is a brain-based disorder with physical roots 00:53:51 - Three overlooked factors that trigger anxiety, starting in early development 01:07:14 - How the brain and nervous system are meant to develop from the bottom-up 01:13:32 - Subluxation, birth trauma and inhibited vagus nerve function as triggers 01:19:56 - How specific areas of the brain are impacted in anxiety 01:25:51 - Dysautonomia - the nervous system imbalance at the core of anxiety 01:28:08 - How neurologically-focused chiropractic addresses the root causes of anxiety 01:34:06 - The life-changing impacts of restoring optimal nervous system functionFor more information, visit PXDocs.com to read our “What is Anxiety?” article, as well as other informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Jilian: Hi Dr. Cabral, I have a strange question regarding my leg. I have a dent in my upper right quad that runs horizontally. It seems as if my quad muscle somehow split, however I have no clue why or how. I saw a doctor who said it's not fatty tissue but appears to be my muscle. The dent is pretty noticeable but not painful. I noticed it sometime after having my first child but it either went away or was not as significant. But since having my second child it's come back and more prominent. For reference I'm currently 10 months postpartum with my second and weight 125lbs (nearly pre pregnancy weight). My hormones according to a regular doctor test said everything looks fine, although I know in the past I've been told I have PCOS. Not sure what's causing this dent.   Leila: Hi Dr. Cabral! I work as a nurse in the hospital and our hospital is implementing new badges that track us throughout the hospital. Our badges clip to our shirt and hang over our chest and it makes me wonder if we should be doing something to protect ourselves. Thanks!   Dacia: My aluminum number is 43 nickel 5.9 and cadmium is high too …I've been tested by a doctor and have been doing chelations Thru an IV for a year ….I'm completely broke because I have spent over $10K on these treatments…I need a protocol I can do at home …I have a red light therapy machine and a doctor grade ionic foot bath at home …very interested in what i can do with products to take internally …my quality of life is about a 3 out of a ten …very fatigued and flared up from Rheumatoid arthritis (or the heavy metals ) please help !!!! Thank you !!!!!   Stacey: Hi Dr.Cabral , I just finished listening to your podcast on glp meds . It scared me because I'm on them , Not for weight loss but for dysautonomia. My blood sugar was all over the place even with a Perfect diet , your detoxes , protocols , big 5 , working with a coach ect .. I did have improvements but still did not have much energy, stamina and alway dizzy as well as fight or flight. My functional Med Dr. Suggested Ozempic & then Mounjaro. I can't believe how Amazing I feel ! I'm working out again , popping up in the morning with tons of energy , my blood sugar is perfect , my A1c is 4.6 now . I just feel like I have my life back . I don't have one bad side effect. I have 1 to 3 bowl movements a day , I'm still hungry and eat. Why do you think this Med has worked so well for my dysauto.   Yvonne: Interested in trying ALA for blood glucose and neuralgia but have a few questions: (1) one site says do not take if you are taking thyroid medication, which I am - I take desiccated thyroid (2) warns that taking may cause harm due to mercury not being removed from the body and (3) if ok to take, what is daily dosage that works without harm and does it matter what type of ALA (type S or R)?   Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2907 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Stacy: Hi Dr. Cabral I hope you are having a Blessed day . I have dysautonomia/POTS . I did the Big 5 and other labs over year and half ago . Worked with a coach , did several protocols ect . I. Have improved some but the sensory overload/ SEVERE Anxiety is still there . It's even stopped me from attending church and social events. I feel as though I'll have a seizure due to the over stimulation. I've exhausted all avenues besides SSRIs and my spinal issues from an ATV accident where I landed on head & neck . I have lots of issues with it but terrified to have my neck adjusted due to strokes that can occur . Do you think the dysautonomia could be from my cervical spine ? I'm at a loss of what to do besides possible surgery or SSRIs and I really don't want to do either but I've been suffering long   Annalize: I'm a healthy 47-year-old woman 6.0 ft tall 165 lb. I've struggled with recurrent vaginal yeast infections since high school, trying various treatments. I worked with a Clinical Nutritionist, adopting a paleo diet, my Candida tests were negative, and the infections persisted. I completed the Functional Medicine Detox and CBO protocol. My daily routine includes Fruit and Vegetable blend and Daily Nutritional Support, along with a healthy diet and lifestyle choices. We've been married 23 years, no STDs, 3 children. I'm open to any recommended tests or changes to my routine, as this ongoing issue is becoming increasingly frustrating. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!   Lindsay: Hello, Does stevia cause fertility problems? An influencer recently posted something along the lines of tribes used to use it as birth control?!   Alicja: Hi Dr. Cabral, I hope you are doing well and having a great day. Two years ago my blood work showed I had Hashimoto and hypothyroidism. I listen to your podcasts, I took your course about Thyroid, I implemented now foods to my diet, did heavy metal detox, made some changes and have been doing all the right things. My TSH numbers went lower over time, then fell into a healthy range, but my last labs showed my TSH being very low, it went down to 0.3. Does that mean that I went from hypothyroidism to hyperthyroidism? Also my anty-TPO are ok (very low) but I have still elevated anty-TG. What does that indicate now? Do I still have Hashimoto or is it Graves now? Thank you in advanced for clarifying that for me. You always are a big help!   Conny: Hi Doctor Cabral, Thanks so much for all the wonderful work you're doing. You've truly changed my life with all the great health information. I have a question about waking up hungry at 4am. I think it might be low blood sugar, because I do circadian fasting and my last meal is around 3 or 4pm. Is there anything I can take before bed to stabilize my blood sugar without breaking my fast? Thanks so much!
