Grief doesn't wait for loss to arrive. Sometimes it shows up early — sitting beside you while someone you love is still right there. That's anticipatory grief, and if you've ever felt your mind drift to a future without someone while they're still in the room, you already know it. In this episode of Joy Lab, Dr. Henry Emmons and Dr. Aimee Prasek explore the Eighth Gate of Grief: the grief, stress, anxiety, and dread that can accompany an expected loss — whether that's a terminal diagnosis, a parent's cognitive decline, a marriage ending, or even broader fears about the world your kids will inherit. Anticipatory grief can be a mentally and emotionally exhausting experience, and it doesn't get nearly enough airtime in conversations about mental health. Importantly, this episode won't tell you how to stop anticipatory grief — because you shouldn't. Research suggests it can actually support healing. What it will give you: science-backed tools for staying present, a simple framework for saying what matters most before it's too late, and honest guidance on sustaining yourself through anticipatory grief. If anxiety, depression, or stress around future loss is weighing on you — or someone you love — this one's for you. This episode is part of a 10-part series on grief.

I forgive you. Thank you. I love you. [17:15] — Why saying these things — even imperfectly — creates completion and reduces regret [19:15] — The gift anticipatory grief offers that sudden loss cannot: the chance to share grief with someone, say the four things, have the conversation together [20:00] — Tending to your own wellbeing during anticipatory grief; checking your energy and nourishment levels; you have to take breaks, let people help, do nourishing things for yourself — it's not selfish, it's sustainable [21:45] — Small ways to refuel: a walk, a phone call, sitting outside, noticing breath; don't wait until you're depleted — build it in now; Letting people support you; they often want to help but don't know how — be specific; "Can you bring dinner Tuesday? Can you sit with her while I go to the store?" [22:30] — Anticipatory grief is a marathon, not a sprint; pace yourself; stepping back to breathe and enjoy lightness is not denial — it's wisdom [23:30] — Closing quote from Rilke: "Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going.

A Seed Chat with Bill McDormanJoin our live monthly Seed Chat at SeedChat.orgIn This Podcast: Greg Peterson and Bill McDorman explore why building a local seed economy is essential for resilient food systems. They share the origin story of the Great American Seed Up, how communities can distribute seeds affordably, and why seed diversity matters in the face of climate change and fragile global supply chains. The discussion highlights grassroots strategies—from seed libraries to neighborhood seed events—that empower communities to grow their own food. They also dive into the science of epigenetics and local adaptation, explaining why saving seeds from your own garden improves future crops.Key Topics & EntitiesLocal seed economiesThe Great American Seed UpSeed Up in a BoxCommunity seed distribution modelsSeed libraries and the Seed Library NetworkLocalSeeds.orgRegional seed companies and seed exchangesClimate change and food system resilienceSeed saving and landrace gardeningEpigenetics and plant adaptationJoseph Lofthouse's Landrace GardeningBarbara McClintock and epigenetics researchCommunity gardening and food securityCowpeas and volunteer plantsKey Questions AnsweredWhat is a local seed economy and why does it matter?A local seed economy means seeds are produced, saved, and shared within a region. This strengthens food resilience because local varieties adapt to local conditions and communities are not dependent on global supply chains.Why isn't storing seeds in one “seed bank” enough?A centralized seed bank doesn't build resilience. The real solution is thousands of people growing and saving seeds. When many gardeners are involved, knowledge spreads and communities collectively maintain crop diversity.How did the Great American Seed Up begin?The idea emerged from a conversation about getting seeds into as many homes as possible. Inspired by a community seed distribution organized by a church group in Idaho, Greg Peterson created a large event where gardeners scoop bulk seeds into their own packets—dramatically lowering costs and increasing access.How can communities distribute seeds affordably?Buying seeds in bulk eliminates most packaging costs. At seed events, participants scoop seeds from bowls into small bags, often receiving 3–10× the amount found in retail packets for less money.What is Seed Up in a Box?Seed Up in a Box is a packaged kit that enables small groups to run their own mini seed distribution events, making it easy for neighborhoods, libraries, and community groups to share seeds locally.Why are seed libraries important?Seed libraries allow gardeners to borrow seeds, grow them, save new seeds, and return them to the community. This builds regional adaptation and spreads genetic diversity.What role does epigenetics play in seed saving?Plants can adapt to environmental stresses like heat or drought within a single generation. Through epigenetics, those adaptive traits can be passed to the next generation, meaning seeds saved from resilient plants become better suited to local conditions.Why do volunteer plants often grow better?Volunteer plants come from seeds already adapted to the local environment. Over several seasons, natural selection and epigenetic responses help them become more resilient.Episode HighlightsA single church community in Idaho organized a bulk seed distribution so hundreds of families could access seeds cheaply.The Great American Seed Up events allow hundreds of gardeners to scoop bulk seeds into their own packets.Eliminating packaging reveals that many seed packets contain only about 13 cents worth of seeds.During COVID, the Seed Up concept evolved into Seed Up in a Box so small groups could run their own seed distribution events.Seed libraries and local seed exchanges are growing worldwide as grassroots solutions for food resilience.Volunteer plants and locally saved seeds often outperform commercial varieties because they adapt to specific climates.Epigenetics shows plants can quickly adjust to stress and pass those adaptations to future generations.Even a few plants can produce abundant food—three volunteer cowpea plants produced three pounds of beans.ResourcesAttend Seed Chat LiveSeed Chat — https://seedchat.orgUrban Farm PodcastPodcast episodes and archives — https://urbanfarmpodcast.comSeed Up in a BoxCommunity seed distribution kits — https://seedupinabox.comSeed Library MovementSeed Library Network — https://seedlibrarynetwork.orgRegional Seed SourcesLocal Seeds directory — https://localseeds.orgSeed Community ResourcesGoing to Seed — https://goingtoseed.orgVisit UrbanFarm.org/974 for the show notes and links on this episode!Need a little bit of advice or just a feedback on your design for your yard or garden?The Urban Farm Team is offering consults over the phone or zoom.

Her path led her deep into the Yucatán rainforest where she studied a private research project blending Mayan agricultural wisdom, plant medicine, microbial fermentation, and ancient water practices. We talk about how many chronic health issues may stem from environmental toxins, emotional stress, inflammation, and disruptions in the body's internal terrain, and why ancient cultures focused on restoring balance through nature, detoxification, and cellular regeneration.Dr. Lara Wegener also shares insights into her upcoming project Forest in a Bottle and explains how fermented rainforest botanicals and microorganisms may support cellular health, detoxification, and regeneration. In our conversation we explore the concept of water memory, the energetic imprint of food and epigenetics, and simple daily habits that can support health such as hydration, movement, and choosing clean whole foods. We also dive into my fascination with ancient civilizations and discuss powerful sacred sites like Giza, Chichén Itzá, Chaco Canyon, and Göbekli Tepe and what these places may reveal about the deeper connection between nature, consciousness, and healing.IN THIS EPISODE:(02:59) Meet Dr. Lara Wegener and her unconventional path(04:35) Leaving conventional medicine after Oxford and Stanford(05:52) Rainforest research and Mayan healing discovery(07:41) Forest in a Bottle and rainforest plant medicine(08:04) DMSO fermentation and the science behind it(10:00) Mayan healing encounter and powerful plant medicine(13:04) Detox, toxins, inflammation and root cause disease(19:38) Ancient healing traditions across cultures explained(21:28) Self sovereignty, intuition and true health(22:59) Why modern food and the US diet disconnect us(26:55) Morning wellness routine and daily health foundations(27:29) Water memory, sacred springs and hydration(28:59) Food energy, epigenetics and microbiome health(29:59) Meat, protein and regenerative food sourcing(32:01) Hidden dangers of sugary drinks and artificial sweeteners(35:11) Daily movement habits that transform health(36:46) Forest in a Bottle products and cellular regeneration(38:17) Miracles, consciousness and ancient site activations(41:45) Sacred sites, pyramids and ancient energy(45:38) Gobekli Tepe, lost technology and ancient civilizations(47:51) Final reflections, gratitude and where to learn moreCONNECT WITH DR.

Have you felt yourself revert back to a child in the way you react to your kids, or a particular situation?Watching from the sideline, Josh recently had a moment where his inner child wounds collided with the reality of the his son's experience on the soccer field. When we come face-to-face with the dissonance between the way we REACT, and the way we want to ACT, something deeper is often at play. Becoming mindful of those moments, and how we respond to them, influences what we pass onto our kids. In this episode, Josh & Christi talk about how to identify an unhealed inner child “part” of yourself, give examples of redeemed and unhealed epigenetic transmission, and provide a beautiful example of how Jesus meets us right where we are. Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction1:15 The messages we picked up in childhood in order to fit in6:15 How to identify an unhealed inner child “part” of yourself9:13 Examples of epigenetic transmission of unresolved inner child pain17:37 The motivation of our parental decisions20:30 Disappointment, condemnation, and the feelings of Holy Week28:56 How Jesus' restoration of Peter is for all of us Show Notes:Easter is coming up!

Today's conversation sits right at the edge of what many consider the next era of medicine — regenerative, precision-based, and centered on restoring function at the cellular level rather than simply managing symptoms.To guide us through this rapidly evolving field, I'm joined by Dr. Jeff Gross. Dr. Gross is a spine fellowship-trained neurological surgeon, an internationally recognized speaker in regenerative and biohacking medicine, and the founder of ReCELLebrate. With a background spanning biochemistry at UC Berkeley to a medical degree from George Washington University, he has spent years working at the intersection of surgical medicine, stem cell science, and cutting-edge biologics.We're diving into exosomes — tiny extracellular vesicles that act as biological messengers, carrying proteins, lipids, RNA, and signaling molecules between cells. Once dismissed as cellular debris, exosomes are now recognized as key regulators of inflammation, tissue repair, immune modulation, and possibly even aging itself. In other words, they don't just participate in healing — they help coordinate it.In this episode, we explore how exosomes differ from stem cells, what the current evidence actually shows, where they're being used clinically — from sports injury recovery to chronic inflammatory conditions — and what their role may be in extending health span, not just lifespan. We also discuss safety considerations, dosing questions, regulatory realities, and the future trajectory of regenerative therapeutics as patient demand for non-pharmaceutical solutions continues to grow.If you're a clinician, a biohacker, or simply someone interested in where medicine is heading over the next decade, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

Your Arcline stores your family's trauma in your energy field. Let's talk about the Akashic Records, epigenetics & a Kundalini Yoga meditation to clear generational healing now.The Arcline is the 6th energetic body in Kundalini Yoga. It runs ear to ear across your forehead and — for women — across the heart center. It is the energy field that projects your reality. When it is loaded with generational trauma, you repeat your family's patterns without knowing why. When it is clear, you break the cycle.In this episode of the ten energetic bodies series for generational healing, I breaks down exactly what the arcline is, where generational trauma lives inside your energy field, how the Akashic Records connect to your Arcline, and what the science of epigenetics proves about healing seven generations before and after you.You will also learn why Jesus Christ's teaching "Before Abraham was, I AM" and Yogananda's Christ consciousness perspective on time are the missing piece most generational healing and nervous system healing work never addresses, and why quantum healing and energy field reorganization are the same thing.Plus: a full step-by-step Arcline Kundalini YOga meditation using the HAR mantra you can do right now to strengthen the arcline an reorganize the akashic quantum filed. ⏱ SKIP TO THE MEDITATION → 31:32WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:→ What the Arcline is and how a weak one keeps you living from your family's past→ Why women have TWO Arclines — and what the heart one is storing from past relationships→ The Akashic Records explained without the mystical fluff — it is where energy and memory live beyond the brain→ Epigenetics: the science proving your ancestors' trauma is switching your genes on right now→ Jacobo Grinberg's Syntergic Theory — the neuroscientist who proved the brain is a receiver, not a generator→ Why time is an illusion is the most practical thing you will ever hear for generational healing→ The HAR Arcline Meditation — complete step-by-step instructions, do it with me→ What "Before Abraham was, I AM" really means for your healing right now→ Why you do not need your family to change, apologize, or even know you are doing this work→ Real story: how one woman stopped screaming at her kids after 40 days of this practiceThank you for liking and sharing!

In Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sana (filling in for Avik), we ask a simple question: What if your symptoms aren't random—what if they're signals? This episode explores how trauma can keep the stress response “switched on,” shaping sleep, digestion, immunity, and the way the body holds tension. This conversation is for anyone living with chronic stress, fatigue, pain, brain fog, or health patterns that feel hard to explain—especially listeners curious about mind-body healing without shame. Christina breaks down PTSD vs. complex trauma, how collective trauma can show up across communities, and why healing often needs more than talk therapy alone. About the Guest: Christina Simmons, LCSW-C is an integrative trauma therapist and educator. She supports Black women and women of color with trauma healing through mind-body approaches, including nervous system regulation and somatic work. Episode Chapter: 09:33 — The real theme: trauma as a root system of illness 12:25 — When the stress “switch” won't turn off 14:43 — How trauma shows up: sleep, digestion, immune changes 16:52 — PTSD vs. CPTSD: why developmental trauma matters 20:20 — Why systems treat symptoms instead of roots 28:13 — Epigenetics + collective trauma in the body 37:31 — Why talk therapy alone often isn't enough Key Takeaways: Notice “always on” signs: poor sleep, gut issues, fatigue, brain fog, inflammation patterns Replace self-blame with curiosity: “What has my body had to survive?” Understand the difference between single-event trauma and long-term developmental trauma Consider trauma healing as part of a wider health plan, not the only explanation Start with regulation: track your breath and gently shift it to support nervous system safety Explore modalities beyond talk therapy when reconnection is the goal How to Connect With the Guest: https://www.risemdllc.com/    Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of Joy Lab, we'll explore the Sixth Gate of Grief: the grief we carry for harm done to ourselves and others. We'll draw on the expanded framework of Francis Weller's gates of grief to unpack why this gate is one of the most challenging and most liberating to work with. It's important to note that this isn't about guilt-tripping or self-flagellation. It's about honest reckoning, releasing unconscious burdens, and reclaiming inner freedom. Because grief (not shame) is what actually moves us toward healing, repair, and becoming people who cause less harm.   This episode is part of a 10-part series on grief. You can jump in here and circle back to Episode 248 when you're ready.   p.s. Find a Simple Joy practice for this episode right here at our blog.   About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, ease anxiety, and uplift mood.

[00:01:00] — What this gate includes: harmful thought patterns like corrosive self-talk, choices that felt necessary but caused harm, inaction when we could have intervened, and participation in collective harms like racism, classism, ableism, and environmental destruction. [00:02:00] — A critical disclaimer: this gate asks us to see these harms — not soak in them. Grief is meant to flow through us, not become a stagnant pool. Henry emphasizes the difference between grieving well and getting stuck. [00:03:30] — Three reasons this gate is especially challenging: (1) the scope of harm we participate in is nearly infinite; (2) the thin line between acknowledging harm and collapsing into shame and guilt; (3) the defensiveness this topic can trigger — and how to touch that lightly and let it go. [00:05:00] — This is about inner freedom, not atonement. Genuine inner freedom requires an honest look at how we affect those around us. [00:05:30] — Aimee and Henry on the word releasing vs. "getting over it." You can leap over a thing and still be carrying it. Releasing requires first being able to see what's there. [00:06:00] — Quote from Sabaa Tahir: two kinds of guilt — the kind that drowns you until you're useless, and the kind that fires your soul to purpose. Working with grief can move us from one to the other. [00:06:30] — Introduction of moral injury: the psychological wound that comes from betraying our own values, or witnessing others do it. Research shows moral injury is more strongly associated with PTSD symptoms than direct exposure to danger. [00:07:30] — Moral injury shows up everywhere — not just in war. Healthcare rationing, kids being detained, someone cutting you off in traffic. Untended grief in this gate can mean we snap at small things because they echo larger unprocessed wounds. [00:09:00] — Henry: grief helps us heal these deep, often invisible wounds. [00:10:00] — How harm to others haunts us for years, even decades. As social creatures, we're wired to repair harm and strengthen bonds. When we don't act, buried harm turns into guilt and shame — and shame isolates. Grief, by contrast, calls us into community and toward repair. [00:11:00] — Autoimmune disease analogy: shame is the emotional equivalent of an immune system attacking itself. A healthy response addresses the problem; an overreaction causes more damage than the original harm. [00:13:00] — Turning to harms we cause ourselves: negative self-talk, lifestyle choices, addictions. No matter the cause, we deserve healing from it. The challenge: in this case, we are both perpetrator and victim. [00:14:00] — Grief opens us up rather than closing us down. It can hold both the hurt experienced and the compassion for causing that pain. [00:14:30] — Connection to post-traumatic growth: not about psychological comfort, but awakening. Grief is the ride between pain and gain — and there's no bypassing it. [00:15:00] — Henry on the role of equanimity (this month's Element of Joy): balance is what allows us to hold two seemingly opposing truths at once. You fully acknowledge the harm and hold yourself with compassion. Neither minimizing nor drowning. [00:16:30] — Quote from Sister Helen Prejean (Dead Man Walking): "People are more than the worst thing they've done." The goal isn't no harm — it's less harm. And believing that you are more than your worst moment fosters humility, compassion, and healing that ripples outward to others. [00:17:30] — Preview of the next episode: the Seventh Gate — Trauma, and how grief and trauma intersect in the work of healing. [00:17:45] — Closing wisdom from Maya Angelou: "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better."   Sources and Notes for this full grief series: Joy Lab Program: Take the next leap in your wellbeing journey with step-by-step practices to help you build and maintain the elements of joy in your life.  Grief Series: The Grief Series: The Wholeness of Being Human [part 1, ep 248] Everything We Love, We Will Lose: Navigating the First Gate of Grief[part 2, ep 249] Welcoming Back the Parts of You That Have Not Known Love [part 3, ep 250] Why You Can't Escape the Sorrows of the World (and why that's a good thing) [part 4, ep 251] Born to Belong: Grieving What Should Have Been There From the Start [part 5, ep 252] Breaking the Cycle: Ancestral Grief, Epigenetics, and the Power to Change Your Legacy [part 6, ep 253] Wild Edge of Sorrow by Francis Weller Sabaa Tahir's website Beckes & Sbarra, Social baseline theory: State of the science and new directions. Access here Beckes, et al.

Hey Transformers, as we close out our longevity series,  I'm bringing back a powerful TYM Classic — and I'm re-airing this episode very intentionally. When we recorded this episode on epigenetics, it completely reframed the way I think about health, longevity, and regenerative health. It wasn't just science — it was empowerment. So many of us have been told that our genes determine our future. That if something “runs in the family,” it's inevitable. But this discussion opened up a different narrative — one rooted in research, lifestyle choices, and the power we actually have to influence how our genes express themselves.Summary: Myrna Young engages in an enlightening conversation with Dr. Matthew Dawson about the transformative influence of epigenetics on health. Understanding the pivotal role of epigenetics in shaping our DNA destiny, Dr. Dawson elaborates on how lifestyle choices markedly influence gene expression, highlighting that genetic predispositions only contribute a fraction to overall health outcomes compared to epigenetic factors. The episode delves into the importance of personalized healthcare plans, as demonstrated through case studies such as Dr. Dawson's mother, who effectively managed her risk of Alzheimer's through personalized lifestyle adjustments. Key Takeaways:Epigenetic Influence: Lifestyle choices, such as diet and exercise, are crucial in turning genes on or off, significantly affecting health outcomes.Personalized Healthcare: Utilizing genomics and epigenetics can lead to tailored healthcare plans that can mitigate genetic risks.Biological Age Understanding: Biological age tests offer a more precise measure of health and longevity than chronological age.Resource Utilization: Tools like Wild Health and True Diagnostic can aid in personalized health planning and prolonging health span.Sponsors of this episode: NOCD: If you're struggling with OCD or unrelenting intrusive thoughts, NOCD can help.

What if some of the grief you carry isn't entirely yours? In this episode we'll open what Francis Weller identified as the Fifth Gate of Grief: ancestral grief. We're talking about the unacknowledged, untended sorrows of those who came before us: lost languages, severed connections to land and ritual, collective traumas like war, displacement, and genocide. But we're also talking about the science; specifically, epigenetics and how it can help explain how those experiences literally get woven into our biology and passed down through generations, even when we don't know the stories. The good news? What gets passed down can also be healed. You don't have to carry rancid snacks in your backpack forever (you'll get that reference when you listen). And this gate, like all the others, ultimately opens into something more expansive — resilience, power, and the steady ground of equanimity. This episode is part of a 10-part series on grief.

Can the aging brain still make new neurons?   A landmark 2026 Nature study analyzed 355,997 human hippocampal nuclei using single-nucleus RNA sequencing and ATAC sequencing. Neurogenesis persists into adulthood—but chromatin accessibility collapses early in Alzheimer's disease.   SuperAgers showed a 2.5-fold increase in immature neurons and a preserved resilience signature.   Epigenetics may be the earliest battlefield in cognitive decline.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Dr. Joe Zundell — aka “Cancer Daddy” — for a wide-ranging conversation on cancer science, early detection, and what's actually moving the field forward. We cover: • Multi-cancer early detection (MCED) testing and the promise of liquid biopsies • Accuracy, limitations, and clinical decision-making • Metabolic vulnerabilities in cancer (Warburg effect, glutamine dependence) • Epigenetics and tumor biology • Immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and radiopharmaceuticals • Translational research and the bench-to-bedside gap • Drug resistance and evolutionary pressure in cancer treatment • Personalized risk reduction and prevention strategies We also get very personal in this episode — discussing loss, integrity in academia, career pivots, and what truly drives Dr. Zundell's mission in cancer research. This is an honest, science-first, and deeply human conversation about cancer, prevention, innovation, and responsibility in modern medicine.

In this episode, I dive deep into one of my favorite topics—bio-individuality—and why your genes may hold the missing key to your health struggles. Kashif Khan joins me to unpack how his own health crisis at 38, marked by eczema, psoriasis, gut issues, depression, and debilitating migraines, sent him down a rabbit hole that ultimately led to genetics. What he discovered completely reframed the way he thought about wellness.We explore how two people can eat the same food, live the same lifestyle, and experience radically different outcomes—and why that discrepancy often comes down to gene expression. Kashif breaks down dopamine pathways, addiction tendencies, trauma imprinting, and how certain genetic profiles can be both a superpower and a liability depending on context. If you've ever wondered why you're wired the way you are or why certain habits feel nearly impossible to break, this conversation will hit home.We also get into estrogen metabolism, detox pathways, hormone replacement therapy, environmental toxins, and the shocking role negative emotions play in turning disease-related genes on. One of the biggest takeaways for me was how ancestral habits, geography, and even generational trauma can influence which genes are expressed.This episode is a powerful reminder that health isn't about chasing trends—it's about understanding your unique blueprint. If you're tired of guessing and ready to personalize your approach to fitness, supplements, hormones, and longevity, this one is going to open your eyes in a big way.Join the free DNA Five Pillar Program webinar and live Q&A with Kashif and me on March 4 at 7:30 pm Eastern Time/6:30 pm Central Time.

What if chronic illness isn't permanent—and your body is far more adaptable than you've been told?   In this powerful episode of Lisa Fischer Said, Lisa sits down with Dr. Aaron Hartman to unpack how epigenetics, nutrition, and personalized medicine are rewriting what we believe about "incurable" diagnoses. Drawing from his daughter's extraordinary healing journey and decades of clinical experience, Dr. Hartman explains why genetics load the gun—but environment pulls the trigger.   You'll learn why conventional medicine often overlooks root causes, how inflammation, trauma, and toxin exposure shape long-term health, and why one-size-fits-all treatments fail so many patients. From gut health and glutathione to GLP-1 medications and muscle loss, this conversation bridges functional medicine and real-world clinical wisdom—without dogma.     If you've ever been told "this runs in your family," struggled with chronic symptoms, or felt dismissed by the healthcare system, this episode offers clarity, empowerment, and science-backed hope.    

In this deep‑dive conversation, Dr. Krista Kostroman and Dr. Richard Horowitz explore what may be one of the most comprehensive frameworks for understanding chronic disease today: Dr. Horowitz's 16‑point MSIDS model (Multiple Systemic Infectious Disease Syndrome).Dr. Richard Horowitz is an internationally recognized physician practicing in Hyde Park, NY. He is an award-winning author of two bestselling books on Lyme disease and chronic illness, and co-author of the 2018 HHS Tick-borne Disease Working Group report to Congress. He has received humanitarian awards from the Turn the Corner Foundation and Project Lyme, has appeared on numerous local and national media outlets—including the Today show and Fox News, for his work on Lyme disease and COVID-19—and is now providing novel solutions for our climate emergency.Across 40+ years and 13,000+ chronically ill patients, Dr. Horowitz has repeatedly seen that chronic illness is never caused by just one thing. Instead, it's the collision of infections, toxins, gut disruption, hormonal imbalance, immune dysregulation, and more. Together, they break down:Why the “one cause, one cure” medical model no longer fits modern chronic diseaseHow inflammation is the central biological event behind most conditionsWhy the same 16 factors appear across Lyme disease, long‑COVID, Alzheimer's, autoimmune disease, mood disorders, metabolic disorders, and beyondThe role of genes and epigenetics in both illness and healingWhy younger and younger people now present with high inflammation markersHow we can meaningfully reverse disease trajectories — including cognitive declineWhat a future “Chronic Disease Center of Excellence” could look likeAnd why patient advocacy is reshaping the medical system more than ever beforeIf you wish to learn more from Dr. Richard Horowitz, check out the following links:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drrichardhorowitz/Book Website: https://cangetbetter.com/ending-chronic-illness/Contact him at medical@hvhac.com______________________________________________________Keep yourself up to date on The DNA Talks Podcast!

There is a national push for rapid weight loss with drugs like Ozempic. These drugs carry a high risk of adverse health issues and create a dependency that injects artificial agents into the body to mimic what that body does naturally. Our nation is in a health crisis. Big Pharma's solution is to override your body systems with their poisons. A whole body health approach helps the body reset  its systems and naturally restore and rejuvenate the body temple. It also allows the genes of the body to express their full potential... known as epigenitics. The goal is to give the body what it needs to over come sickness and restore itself to its fullest potential.  #BardsFM_HealthAndWellness #WeightLoss #Epigenetics Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com EnviroKlenz Air Purification, promo code BARDS to save 10%: www.enviroklenz.com EMPShield protect your vehicles and home.

ANN ARBOR —News, advice and research about what we eat - and drink - and how it influences our health is inescapable.What we hear less about is exactly what's taking place inside the body when nutrition is considered bad or toxic, say ultraprocessed foods like our favorite packaged cookies, chips or frozen pizza, or good and healthy, those whole, methyl-donor-rich leafy veggies, beefs and eggs.If you want a deeper understanding, ask Dana Dolinoy. The answers are in epigenetics, her specialty.As a nutritional and environmental scientist and professor at the School of Public Health, she studies the changes that take place in response to nutrients. Her work digs deep down to the genes and DNA, at the epigenome, where the controls that turn genes on and off are located.Dolinoy is also director of the NIH-supported Michigan Life Stage Environmental Exposures and Disease Center and Michigan Medicine's Epigenomics Core, teams that advance research and understanding of the environmental causes of chronic diseases and conditions. She is also on the team that launched MI-CARES, the Michigan Cancer and Research on the Environment Study, which is recruiting 100,000 Michigan residents to find causes of and solutions to disease. More on the study.As Dolinoy discusses in this episode of Michigan Minds, epigenetics, "is actually a relatively new science. The term was first coined in the 1950s as a way to talk about the intersections of our genes in the environment."Michigan Minds is produced by Greta Guest and hosted by Michigan News staff. Jeremy Marble is the audio engineer and Hans Anderson provides social media animations. Listen to all episodes of the podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What if your “age” isn't just the number on your driver's license? In this episode of Everyday Epigenetics: Raw, Real, Relatable, Susan Robbins pulls back the curtain on epigenetic age testing, what it measures, why it matters, and how it can be one of the most empowering tools in your optimization toolbox. Joined by Dr. Lauren Clark of TruDiagnostic, Susan breaks down epigenetics in a way that finally makes sense: your genes are the hardware, but your epigenome is the software, shaped by stress, sleep, movement, nutrition, environment, and the life you've lived.Then Susan brings you behind the scenes of her own TruAge results with Jess Bonthius (medical science liaison at TruDiagnostic), including a real-time walkthrough of her report and what it means for longevity, healthspan, and the pace at which you're aging. If you've ever feared what a test might reveal, or assumed results would be doom-and-gloom, this conversation offers a different lens: data as a guide, not a verdict. You'll leave understanding how these markers can help you make better decisions now, without panic, perfectionism, or expensive “biohacking” extremes.In This EpisodeA clear “Epigenetics 101” explanation (and what DNA methylation actually is)Genetics vs. epigenetics: why your DNA isn't your destinyWhat epigenetic age testing measures, and why different tests can give different insightsThe three key TruAge clocks: biological age, healthspan-focused aging, and pace of agingSusan's personal results walkthrough (and why lifestyle still matters especially during a hard season)Why low percentile can be a good thing in biological age reportingHow inflammation, recovery, and training load can show up in epigenetic biomarkersThe truth about “optimization”: simple lifestyle changes vs. expensive protocolsLearn more about our guests in the show notes below!Jessica Bonthius and Loren Clarke, M.D. RESOURCES:Shownotes: https://healthyawakening.co/2026/02/16/episode111/Discount code: https://shop.trudiagnostic.com/discount/SUSANGENESConnect with Susan: https://healthyawakening.co/Visit the website: healthyawakening.co/podcastFind listening links here: https://healthyawakening.co/linksP.S.

The collective energy is loud, erratic, and for many of us, it feels like our internal wiring is being hit with a massive surge of electricity. This isn't just "stress"—it is a fundamental shift in our epigenetics and our consciousness frequency. In this episode, we dive deep into the theme of Nervous System Regulation as the ultimate tool for manifestation and peace. With the massive New Moon Eclipse in Aquarius on February 17th approaching, we are moving into a "lightning bolt" energy of innovation and quantum leaps. But to catch that lightning, your "vessel" must be grounded. In this episode, we discuss: The Global Reset: Why the collective nervous system is deregulated and how to stay in your "lane of peace." Ancestral Coding: How to stop running on inherited programs of fear, lack, and limitation. Epigenetics & Consciousness: Turning on the cells and "junk DNA" that have been dormant for generations. Practical Somatic Tools: Vagus nerve stimulation, lymphatic drainage, and the breathwork technique to find the gap of pure potential. The Aquarius Eclipse: How to funnel this electric energy into innovation rather than shutdown. Stop letting the outside world mess with your internal energetic state. It’s time to devote yourself to the brilliance of your biology. What have you been noticing with your energy field lately? Are you feeling the "crawling out of your skin" sensation or a surge of new inspiration? We want to hear your stories.

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston sits down with Jaclyn Downs, MS, a certified functional genomics expert and author of Enhancing Fertility Through Functional Medicine. While many people have heard of the "MTHFR" gene, Jaclyn explains to Dr. Pinkston why that is only the tip of the iceberg. They delve into how functional genomics—the study of subtle genetic variations you can actually influence through diet and lifestyle—holds the key to solving chronic issues like infertility, anxiety, migraines, and poor detoxification. In this episode, you’ll learn: Genetics vs. Genomics: The difference between fixed mutations and "snips" (SNPs) that you can optimize with nutritional cofactors. The "Folate Trap": Why taking high doses of methylfolate can sometimes backfire if your B12 levels aren't addressed first. Beyond MTHFR: Why looking at the big picture (including pathways like glucuronidation and histamine metabolism) is vital for hormone health and longevity. Personalized Medicine: Why "automated" genetic reports often lead to "analysis paralysis" and why a customized, practitioner-led approach is essential. Environmental Triggers: How toxins, stress, and poor soil quality interact with your unique genetic blueprint. Whether you are struggling with unexplained infertility, chronic fatigue, or just want to optimize your "healthspan," this conversation provides a roadmap for using your DNA as a tool for empowerment rather than a source of fear.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Together, they gently unpack the difference between loneliness and conscious solitude, inviting listeners to reconsider aloneness not as a deficit, but as a sacred initiation. This episode speaks directly to those who have felt pressure to constantly give, perform, or stay connected at the cost of their inner truth and are quietly yearning for something more authentic and whole.Andrea and Mazona dive deeply into boundaries as an act of love for self and for others, revealing how overgiving and self-sacrifice often lead to a slow loss of identity. Through stories and reflections, they illuminate the importance of sitting in silence, listening beneath the noise, and allowing space for the Self to be known rather than having to perform. Ritual and creativity are explored as essential pathways back to our essence and healing our wounds, ways humans have remembered who they are beyond roles, expectations, and survival patterns inherited through lineage and culture.As the conversation broadens, the episode shifts toward the collective moment we are in, with 2026 being framed as a threshold year, one that calls us to reclaim our true gifts and step into our divine purpose. While solitude is honored, so too is the essential need for community rooted in authenticity rather than obligation. This episode offers both grounding and inspiration for anyone navigating identity shifts, spiritual awakening, or a longing to live more aligned with their soul's truth, reminding us that when we return to ourselves, we become better able to show up for one another and for the world.Mazona Shahar     https://www.instagram.com/mazonashahar?igsh=dGpmcXA5NDc1a2Rthttps://www.facebook.com/share/1Fyk3ygwPw/?mibextid=wwXIfrhttps://medium.com/@peace30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Christina Bjorndal ( @drchrisbjorndal), a naturopathic doctor, author, and mental health expert, for a powerful and deeply honest conversation about healing beyond diagnoses. Dr. Christina shares her personal journey through depression, bipolar disorder, suicide attempts, and recovery, and how those experiences shaped her integrative approach to mental health and whole-person healing. Together, we explore the profound connection between the mind, body, nervous system, and spirit, and why true healing requires more than symptom management. In this episode, we talk about how trauma, nutrition, gut health, stress, and unexamined thought patterns can influence mental health and fertility. Dr. Christina also explains why labels can be limiting, how epigenetics shapes our health beyond genetics, and why cultivating self-compassion and safety in the body is foundational to healing. This conversation offers hope, perspective, and practical insights for anyone navigating mental health challenges, fertility struggles, or the pressure to "fix" themselves instead of understanding what their body is asking for. Key Takeaways:  Mental health diagnoses describe symptoms, not root causes Healing requires addressing the nervous system, not just the mind Thoughts directly influence physiology through stress hormones and immune function Epigenetics explains how environment, trauma, and lifestyle shape health outcomes Digestion and nutrition depend on nervous system regulation, not just food choices Self-compassion and self-acceptance are essential, not optional, for healing Hope and possibility are powerful forces in recovery and fertility journeys Guest Bio:  Dr. Christina Bjorndal ( @drchrisbjorndal), ND is a naturopathic doctor, mental health advocate, gifted speaker, and best-selling author who blends clinical expertise with lived experience. Drawing from her personal journey through depression, anxiety, bulimia, bipolar disorder type 1, cancer, and surviving multiple suicide attempts, she offers a deeply compassionate and integrative approach to mental health. Trained in naturopathic and mind-body medicine, Dr. Christina focuses on whole-person healing, addressing the nervous system, nutrition, trauma, and self-compassion. She is the author of Beyond the Label: 10 Steps to Improve Your Mental Health with Naturopathic Medicine and the creator of two educational programs supporting both individuals and clinicians in moving beyond mental health labels.

It has been mistakenly suggested that severe trauma/great accomplishment changes our DNA. Instead, it is the role of Epigentics to determine how our genetic code is used to respond to situations, and the responses are what are passed on. We can each make a conscious decision to change those responses through various therapies and modalities, effectively healing generational trauma and breaking cycles for our own lineage. Learn more about Personal Rewilding online at www.rhnaturereconnect.com Join the Personal Rewilding with Robert Hensley community on Patreon at www.patreon.com/cw/roberthensleynaturereconnectBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/truth-be-told-paranormal--3589860/support.

Epigenetics is real. In other words, there's a trickle down effect onto our kids based on our beliefs, feelings, and the environment in which we raise them. In this episode, Pastor Max Lucado joins the show to talk about helping parents meet children in their anxious thoughts. Having written multiple books on anxiety, Pastor Lucado has a new 90-day devotional called Calm Thoughts for Kids, and joins the show to talk about what he's seeing as a grandparent and how parents today can help their kids with their anxious days. Having just become a grandparent for the sixth time, and about to be the seventh time, Pastor Lucado also talks about how grandparents can come alongside their adult children in raising their grandchildren. Time Stamps:0:00 Introduction3:51 Max Lucado talks about fear and kids9:50 How raising kids has changed13:40 How grandparents can support their adult kids in raising their grandkids19:00 How parents can disciple their kids and meet them in fear23:45 The power of story to help kids grow28:07 What is your strategy?Show Notes:Get Calm Thoughts for Kids: 90 Devotions for Anxious Days by Pastor Max Lucado by clicking here: https://amzn.to/3Maf13l Get Traveling Light: Releasing the Burdens You Were Never Intended to Bear by Pastor Lucado: https://amzn.to/49YHtgp Get What Do I Do With Worry by Dr. Josh and Christi: https://amzn.to/4k3UGJD Download the Famous at Home app from Apple, click here. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/famous-at-home/id6502221394 Download the Famous at Home app from Google Play, click here. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kj2147486660.app2&hl=en_US Sign up for our email list: https://www.famousathome.com/newsletter Download NONAH's single Find My Way Home by clicking here: https://bellpartners.ffm.to/findmywayhome

Stefan Molyneux digs into what he calls "Gene Wars," looking at how r and K selection strategies in reproduction shape human societies. He describes r-selected types as those that reproduce quickly with little effort put into raising the young, while K-selected ones focus on having fewer kids but investing more in them. Molyneux ties this to modern problems like abortion and spending habits, suggesting these strategies affect how people view duties to others and keeping systems steady. He wraps up by urging people to pay more attention to these biological factors when dealing with today's issues.GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Nathan Riley about how modern systems shape pregnancy and birth — not just medically, but psychologically and culturally.This conversation isn't about rebellion or nostalgia. It's about responsibility, trust, and what happens when we're trained to hand those over.We talk about natural birth, home birth, and the power of doing less instead of more. C-section rates keep climbing and fear is introduced early through institutional rituals. Education, compliance, and credentialed authority train us to outsource knowing, especially during pregnancy and birth. From midwifery to birth trauma, from holistic health to reclaiming responsibility, this conversation connects dots most people never think to question.If you're interested in birth sovereignty, health sovereignty, and the deeper implications of how humans enter the world, this episode will challenge you.

Abbie is joined by Christyna Johnson, a registered dietitian whose work sits at the intersection of nourishment and social justice (a perfect fit for Full Plate, as you all know).They unpack the way systems have weaponized hunger. And why that matters so much at a time where extreme thinness is being celebrated, hunger suppression is being normalized, and health is feeling more like a performance than ever.Tune in for more on:* Hunger as a tool of control—historically, politically, and culturally* Growing up with limited food variety, dieting, and respectability politics* Diet culture as a cult (yes, it's fascinating)* Why appetite suppression is being framed as “health”* GLP-1 medications, food noise, and informed consent* Epigenetics, famine, dieting, and intergenerational impact* The difference between the performance of health and actual well-being* Pleasure, nourishment, and why enjoying food matters* Why younger generations give us real reasons to hopeThis episode is honest, funny, gentle, and deeply unsettling in the best way. It invites us to ask bigger questions:Who benefits when we're disconnected from our bodies? And what becomes possible when nourishment takes up less brain space—so we can look up and care for one another?Make sure you're following Christyna on Instagram.

Stefan Molyneux kicks off his "Gene Wars" series by diving into r/K selection theory, using it to unpack how genetics and evolution shape human behavior and the way societies are built. He breaks down the r strategy—lots of offspring with minimal parental effort—against the K approach, which involves fewer kids but more resources poured into each one. Drawing from animals, he shows how surroundings push species toward one path or the other in reproduction. Molyneux then applies this to people, suggesting that social environments can encourage either set of traits, and he ties it to current political and cultural tensions. He argues that getting a handle on these biological ideas helps explain splits in ideology, while hinting at deeper looks ahead into their genetic roots and effects on society.Remastered from the original 2015 presentation!GET FREEDOMAIN MERCH! https://shop.freedomain.com/SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025
