Check our upcoming events: https://bit.ly/3whDgVo Tweetable quote from Kelly “You can't change the system from within; you have to build a new one that renders it obsolete.” Summary So, you've heard about functional medicine and how it offers a holistic approach to health and well-being. But what exactly does that mean, and how can you benefit from it? In this episode, Dr Espen is joined by Dr. Kelly Brogan, a well-known authority in functional medicine. Dr. Kelly Brogan discusses her transition from traditional psychiatry to holistic health, emphasizing the mind-body connection and the power of lifestyle choices in healing. She shares her experience with an autoimmune condition and her path to recovery through diet, detox, and meditation. They also explore the importance of self-responsibility, emotional awareness, and avoiding victimhood.

There are a lot of things happening in the world right now that can make you feel vulnerable and concerned for yourself and for your child's future. Yet, living in a place of fear is exhausting, damaging to your vibrancy and totally unnecessary. Today I want to share what I mean by this and give you ideas you can use right away to start reclaiming your power and moving forwards fearlessly.

There’s a new feature documentary in town called The Pathological Optimist. It’s about Dr. Andrew Wakefield. You know, the British gastroenterologist who’s credited/blamed with linking vaccines and autism to millions of parents and thereby single-handedly birthing the modern anti-vaccine movement. Yes, that Andrew Wakefield. Andy inspires… hyperbole. Mention his name and it’s likely to provoke a fight. In a 2015 New York Times article: he was alternately described as “one of the most reviled doctors of his generation” and “Nelson Mandela and Jesus Christ rolled into one.”  I mean, Mengele or Mandela… seriously? There’s gotta be more than meets the eye here, right? We live in Tabloid Nation, after all, where paparazzi roam free and no one is immune. Why hasn’t someone been curious enough to take a closer look? Who is Andrew Wakefield really? And he’s a family man? How could any family survive this kind of circus? What do his wife and kids make of all this?    Miranda Bailey is a mom and a smart cookie. She’s a Hollywood actress who’s drawn to great, revelatory stories. Stories that teach us a little bit more about who we are. She also happens to be a very good filmmaker. Miranda wanted to know. She contacted me when she started doing research on the MMR vaccine scandal and we became friends. “Louise, can you introduce me to Andrew?” This was almost 10 years ago. Miranda has been making her “Wakefield doc” for a while now. I don’t want to think about the number of times she rued the day she met me (and Andy).  Like most good things, this movie took time. Miranda spent weeks following Andy all over the country and in Austin, TX with the Wakefield family. The storyline evolved real time multiple times as she filmed and filmed. And edited and edited. It was almost done when Tribeca happened. It’s a testament to her stubbornness.  I saw an early version last year and the final version in April, so I can tell you what you need to know.  No matter how you feel about vaccines or autism or Andrew Wakefield, this film is for you. It’s a character portrait so intimate that you can’t look away. It raises all sorts of questions that you get to ask and answer in the privacy of your own mind because attending this movie is not a statement of anything. Except the virtues of curiosity. And an appreciation for the genre of documentary filmmaking. The Pathological Optimist is not a pro-vaccine take-down or an anti-vaccine anthem. It stands squarely in that narrow sliver of real estate that dares to present an exceptionally controversial person without taking a position. It asks the question — who is this man? — and respects you enough to leave you alone to wrestle with it.  ps. Buy tickets now. It’s going to sell out and you’re going to want to watch. #pathologicaloptimist #liarhealer #monstersavior #TPO #dontmissit  Miranda Bailey is a passionate producer, actor, and director known for bringing a diversity of strong, well-crafted stories to the screen. Miranda has delivered 20 films over 15 years, including the Oscar-nominated THE SQUID AND THE WHALE; the Spirit Award-winning THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL; James Gunn’s SUPER; the Sundance hit SWISS ARMY MAN; and the critically acclaimed NORMAN. She has directed two documentaries: GREENLIT, which premiered at SXSW and is available on iTunes, Amazon, and Hulu; and now THE PATHOLOGICAL OPTIMIST opens September 29 at the Angelika Film Center in NYC and can be seen on VOD November 14. Read more about Miranda here. Andrew Wakefield MB.BS. is a co-founder of the Autism Media Channel and director of the film VAXXED. An academic gastroenterologist, Andy received his medical degree from St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School, London in 1981. He qualified as Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1985 and trained as a gastrointestinal surgeon with a particular interest in inflammatory bowel disease. He was awarded a Wellcome Trust Traveling Fellowship to study small-intestinal transplantation in Toronto. He was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists in the U.K. in 2001. Andy has published over 140 original scientific papers, reviews, and book chapters. Louise Kuo Habakus is the founding director of Fearless Parent™. She is a bestselling author; runs two non-profits, Center for Personal Rights and Health Freedom Action; lectures widely; and has appeared in numerous media outlets, including ABC World News Tonight, Fox & Friends, and The New York Times.

#105 — What is Transhumanism? ** August 23, 2017Guest // Zoltan Istvan ** Host // Pratik Chougule, JD  Look around and you’ll see humanity not just engaged with technology but integrated in ways that are unexpected, sophisticated, fascinating, and for many of us, fundamentally alarming. There’s a nostalgia for the simplicity of the pre-internet past… for the time that my teenage kids call “ye olden days.” It’s pretty clear, however, that we aren’t stuffing tech back into the box anytime soon. And humanity is beset with all sorts of problems. Development of these technologies is accelerating and impacting human intelligence and physiology in ways that might transform what it means to be… human.  How do we wrap our heads around these ideas? How can we explore, plan, and lead responsibly? Join co-host Pratik Chougule and guest Zoltan Istvan as they discuss: What is the transhumanism movement (often abbreviated as H+)? Is transhumanism just an extension of human progress or something more radical? Why pursue a transhumanist future through the political system?  Zoltan Istvan is a Libertarian candidate for California Governor in 2018. He is often considered one the world’s leading transhumanists after his popular run in the 2016 US Presidential race as a science and technology candidate. Zoltan began his futurist career by publishing The Transhumanist Wager, an award-winning, #1 bestseller in Philosophy that has been compared to Ayn Rand’s work. Zoltan is also a leading technology journalist, a successful entrepreneur, and a former filmmaker and on-camera reporter for the National Geographic Channel. His futurist work and promotion of radical science has reached over 100 million people. He is a graduate of Columbia University, and lives in San Francisco with his physician wife and two young daughters. Learn more at ZoltanIstvan.com.

Homeoprophylaxis  http://learntruehealth.com/homeoprophylaxis/ Homeoprophylaxis: Safe Alternatives To Vaccines Today’s topic is close to my heart. Dr. Cilla Whatcott has a very deep understanding about educating our immune system how to combat disease without the use of vaccines and instead use homeoprophylaxis. Slow Realization Whatcott grew up in New Jersey, and her dad was an immigrant from Italy. Her mother died when she was 16 years, and she watched that process with what occurred within Western medicine surrounding her illness and her death. Whatcott’s father died when she was in her 20s, and she observed the same thing. Their death sowed the seeds of her interest in medicine. Whatcott wanted to have a large family. But when she married, she found out she couldn’t have kids, so Whatcott started adopting. She adopted a child from Taiwan, another from mainland China and Russia. So it was a surprise when Whatcott did end up having a biological child. Taking Matters At Her Hands Whatcott’s four kids had different illnesses. Nothing in conventional medicine completely cured them. Finally, she had a pediatrician in Washington who advised Whatcott to try homeopathy, particularly for her son’s asthma. Within six months, his asthma disappeared.   Whatcott took her son with migraines, and it also disappeared. Her daughter who had kidney reflux never had a kidney infection anymore after getting healed by homeopathy.   Whatcott was fascinated by homeopathy and decided to go back to school. She studied for four years in homeopathic school. The Power Of Homeopathy Whatcott’s father didn’t understand what the medical doctors told him. At one point, he misunderstood the doctor and thought the doctor said to him that he was cancer-free. So he came home and told Whatcott he was cured. He had a prognosis which gave him another year to live, but because he believed he was cured, he lived another fifteen years. “I saw the power of the doctor’s words being the medicine. People believe what they are told. Our health is not only physical. It involves our thoughts, emotions and our mind,” said Whatcott. Discovering Homeoprophylaxis With this information, homeopathy is such a deep curative form of medicine. I went on to study a subset of homeopathy which is homeoprophylaxis. When Whatcott adopted her daughter from China, she was 10 pounds at a year old and could barely hold up her head. Her pediatrician administered all her vaccines and one night got a high fever, had meningitis, and she almost died. Whatcott researched and found out that meningitis is the side effect of some of the vaccines. The MMR, that’s one of the side effects. So Whatcott went back to the pediatrician, and she denied it. That’s when Whatcott realized only she could really look out for what’s best for her children. “Based on a recent statistics, pediatricians make an average of half a million dollars or more if they vaccinate all their kid patients by the age of two,” Whatcott shares. “It cost around $400 per child.” Dr. Isaac Golden’s Program Dr. Isaac Golden developed a program in Australia. Homeoprophylaxis has been subjected to a 15-year ongoing trial and clinical study. The outcome of this research, including the efficacy and safety of homeoprophylaxis, are published in Dr. Golden’s Homeoprophylaxis – A Fifteen Year Clinical Study. “The aim of homeoprophylaxis is to introduce into the human system safe, homeopathic versions of particular diseases to naturally stimulate the immune system,” Whatcott said. “As a result, susceptibility to targeted diseases can be reduced.”   The Program These are the components of the program developed by Dr. Golden: Four years of homeoprophylaxis remedies for the most commonly vaccinated diseases Individualized, 1-hour appointment, to explain the program Can be started at any time even if some vaccines have been given No more needles Additional remedies for individual needs (foreign travel, or disease outbreaks) No toxic substances Any necessary consultation during the program No side effects Homeopathy and Homeoprophylaxis Homeopathy is a complete system of medicine. It treats all chronic and acute disease very effectively. Homeoprophylaxis is a different principle. “Homeoprophylaxis is the use of diluted and potentized disease products which we call nosodes or materials from an animal, mineral or vegetable source,” said Whatcott. “It is to educate the immune system, before encountering the disease. Hence, there’s no such thing as a homeopathic vaccine. That does not exist.” Within classical homeopathy, the belief is, we look for something that is called genus epidemicus. And a genus epidemicus is when there’s an outbreak of an epidemic, you collect the data from a certain number of cases and you see what remedies work well with that epidemic. The problem is, you have to wait for everyone to get sick. Then you have to organize and coordinate data amongst homeopaths to determine genus epidemicus. After that, you distribute the homeopathic remedy to people who are ill. “Homeoprophylaxis precludes getting the disease. It educates the immune system before the disease comes around. You know you’re training the immune system because you see the results,” explained Whatcott. Side Effects Of Homeoprophylaxis First of all, we don’t see side effects but rather the immune response. Hence, after getting homeoprophylaxis, you are going to see the immune system wake up. And the way that it will look may be rosy cheeks, longer or shorter nap, runny nose or extra stool in the diaper. But after 24 hours, that will come down to a baseline. I see that in vaccinated children. Furthermore, when giving to adults, they usually say they have swollen glands, throat is itchy, and it will all be gone in 24 hours.   Getting A Headstart to Good Health 1. Trust your gut. You have the ability to make wise choices for yourself and your children. 2. Reframe your view of viruses, fevers, and minor illnesses. We need these microorganisms to be healthy. 3. Pay attention to your diet and your thoughts – these are two mainstays of health. Cilla Whatcott is a board-certified classical homeopath with a B.A. from Arizona State University, a diploma from the four-year professional program at Northwestern Academy of Homeopathy, Minneapolis, MN and a Ph.D. in Homeopathy. She is an instructor at Normandale Community College and the author of “There Is a Choice: Homeoprophylaxis,” and co-author of “The Solution – Homeoprophylaxis.” Cilla is the executive director of Worldwide Choice – an organization undertaking evidence-based research with homeoprophylaxis (HP) and training medically licensed providers to administer HP. She offers individualized homeoprophylaxis programs for adults and children. Cilla has been a guest lecturer in France, Scotland, Ireland, Indonesia, the USA, and Canada, and was featured in episode 7 of The Truth about Vaccines. She has organized and directed international conferences in 2015 and 2016 about homeoprophylaxis with leading researchers from around the world. Cilla has published articles in Pathways, Homeopathic LINKS, Organic Lifestyle Magazine, Holistic Mom’s Magazine, Natural Health365, GreenMedInfo, Fearless Parent, HealthyHomeEconomist, and WAPF’s Wise Traditions. She has over 10,000 hours of post-graduate research and education including certification as a CEASE therapist for reversing vaccine injury. As the mother to children adopted from Russia, Taiwan and China, and one biological child, her deepest desire is to see families everywhere heal and thrive. Get Connected with Cilla Whatcott!

Free speech is the right to articulate one’s opinion without fear of retaliation or censorship or societal sanction. The First Amendment of the US Constitution states: “Congress shall make no law… abridging freedom of speech.” Universities have traditionally been a place where burgeoning, radical, heated ideas are first expressed and take hold. Student activism has given rise to important political, economic, and social change. Think civil rights and the Vietnam era protests, for example. It’s not news for self-righteous students to express such vehement certainty that they are not interested in hearing other perspectives. But how do we feel when college administrators cave to their demands to shut down dialogue and the open exchange of ideas… you know, free speech? It’s a trend that has USA Today and others asking, What happened to American universities?  There’s a provocative new documentary that’s probing a profoundly unsettling question: Is the University Killing Free Speech and Open Debate? Flmmaker Rob Montz wants to understand how and why his alma mater, Brown University, and other prestigious universities have been run down by this kind of “nasty censoring species of student activism.” Why can’t we just have a conversation? What does this say about our country today and where we’re headed?  Rob Montz is a fellow at the Moving Picture Institute and a director at We the Internet TV. His work has been featured in the New York Times, BBC World News, the Economist, USA Today, and the Washington Post.  He lives in Washington, DC with his wife, daughter, and genius corgi, Bronson.

The Politics of a Vaccine Safety Commission ** February 21, 2017Guest // Pratik Chougule, JD ** Hosts // Robert J. Krakow, Esq and Louise Kuo Habakus Is it a good idea to convene a presidential vaccine safety commission? We just finished reading a cogent, probing, and well-researched article: “Why the Kennedy-DeNiro Vaccine Challenge Matters” whose author says, “Yes.” Pratik Chougule, JD, executive editor of The American Conservative, eschews the usual trashing of advocates who challenge the government’s vaccine safety program. Curious about this compelling voice emerging from the fray of naysayers, we were eager to hear more from Pratik. Some the questions we’ll address include: What are the historical origins of the American vaccine safety movement? Why are vaccine safety advocates dismissed in the mainstream press? How did Trump become interested in the vaccine/autism issue? What factors will influence Trump’s decision to tackle the vaccine issue? What political impact will a vaccine safety commission make? Pratik Chougule, JD is an executive editor at The American Conservative magazine. He served as the policy coordinator on the presidential campaigns of Donald Trump and Gov. Mike Huckabee. From 2008-2009, Chougule was a Bush administration appointee at the State Department in the Office of the Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security. Chougule graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Brown University and holds a JD from Yale Law School. His relevant writings include: My political journey; My piece on the decline of small-government conservatism in the Republican Party, which, I think, will influence the vaccine debate; and An op-ed on the alt-right, which may be an ally in the vaccine safety movement. Robert J. Krakow, Esq is an attorney in private practice in New York City focusing on the trial of civil and criminal cases, and specializes in the representation of persons injured by exposure to environmental toxins and vaccines.

#101 — The Power of Pussy and Sister Goddess Activism ** December 28, 2016Guest // Laura Brayton, DC ** Host // Louise Kuo Habakus We’re ending 2016 with a bang and kicking off the new year with a gift to our sisterhood of women (and the men who love us). it’s time to take back what’s rightfully ours, the full responsibility and embodiment of our radiance, our power, and our joy. Mother Earth has been waiting for us. She knows it is the divine feminine that creates, gives, and protects life. Laura has been patiently asking to do a podcast with me. As much as I love connecting with our tribe of holistic healers, I just wasn’t so jazzed about doing another empowered mama wellness talk. But, I admitted, I did have a twinkle in my eye about something. I had just finished reading Pussy by Regena Thomashauer. Was she willing to go there? Laura was game. And I knew we were going to have some fun. This book is, imo, required reading for all women. The title is the portal and the message inside is even more provocative and revolutionary. Mama Gena has a recipe for true healing for what ails us. Heal the women, heal the world: What does the shame around this word, pussy and her sister the C- word, have to do with the reasons we push away compliments, play small, don’t ask, and keep a lid on it in a world where we feel worried and wrong? Who is the Goddess, the powerful woman?  Why does Thomashauer say our truth is present when we know desire? What does it matter if our culture does not honor grief, and her kinswomen: rage, longing, jealousy, frustration? What happens when we don’t feel our feelings? Women no longer need to trade sex for food. We are breadwinners and supermoms. Congresswomen and CEOs. Our partners are more egalitarian than ever with housework and childcare. So what’s wrong? Mama Gena has lots of homework assignments. Laura and I will do some of them together, on the air. Through our discussion, you’ll get to know this passionate and brave healer.

When she was told that her 20-month-old son had autism, Andrea Libutti MD was devastated. Therapists said he would never communicate with others, nor would he ever form meaningful relationships. Still, Andrea refused to accept that dim prognosis and instead embarked on a years-long journey of discovery and healing. Using her position as a physician to gain access to a variety of specialists, she explored every promising biomedical and behavioral therapy. Eventually, she came to see that we must consider autism not just from a physical perspective but from an emotional and spiritual one as well. In Awakened by Autism, Andrea distills the results of the research she undertook and relays her personal experiences as she tried one treatment after another in search of a way to help her son. From the interview you will learn: The multifactorial nature of autism and the problems inherent in how many health-care professionals view the disorder. How each child has unique needs and requires a personalized plan for healing. How changing our beliefs about the possibilities for those with autism allows us to uncover their hidden brilliance, while taking steps to improve their well-being. What she learned from her many intriguing interviews with shamans, energy healers, homeopaths, and educators from her “Awaken to Autism” webinar which aired just a few weeks ago. Andrea Libutti, MD is a board-certified emergency medicine physician and spent several years in private practice treating children with autism from a mind-body-spirit perspective. Her book Awakened by Autism  (Hay House, April 2015) is a culmination of her extensive knowledge and a guide for viewing autism from a new mindset. Her greatest hope is to empower families to embrace their special children with love and acceptance, while taking useful action to restore their well-being. Her own son with autism has been her greatest teacher.

#99 — How to Raise A Healthy Child In Spite of Your Doctor April 27, 2016 Guest // Sally Mendelsohn, CNM : Host //  Maya Shetreat-Klein, MD Do you have a pediatrician you love? Do you even know what that could look like? In the current polarized medical climate, finding a like-minded — or even open minded — pediatrician is not always easy. But… there was one pediatrician who was willing to swim against the tide — loudly and proudly — even back in the 1970s. In this episode, homebirth midwife Sally Mendelsohn and Dr. Maya discuss Dr. Robert Mendelsohn’s “renegade” ideas, including his books How To Raise a Healthy Child In Spite of Your Doctor and Confessions of a Medical Heretic. How did Dr. Mendelsohn start on his visionary path and how was it received by the medical establishment? What were his thoughts about birth, ultrasound, breastfeeding, and vaccination? What, if any, practices and attitudes have changed since he wrote his books? Robert Mendelsohn, MD (1926-1988) was one of the first outspoken, renegade pediatricians. A graduate of University of Chicago for both his undergraduate studies as well as medical school, he went on to write numerous books including How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor, Confessions of a Medical Heretic, Male Practice: How Doctors Manipulate Women, and more. He was selected by President Johnson to lead Project Head Start’s Medical Consultation Service. He publicly questioned the mainstream attitudes about medication, parenting, birthing, ultrasound, immunizations, hospitalization and surgery. He appeared on over 500 television and radio talk shows. Sally Mendelsohn, CNM is the daughter of Dr. Robert Mendelsohn and a leader for women in her own right. After getting her undergraduate degree at Brandeis College, she graduated from Georgetown and Cornell Universities to eventually became a Certified Nurse Midwife in 1982. During her 25 year career, she delivered babies both in home and hospital settings. Most recently, she taught midwifery in the graduate program at New York University. Sally and her family have recently launched a new website to more broadly share the ideas of her father. Learn more at www.thepeoplesdoctor.net.

Do you feel like they are sometimes lost to you, immersed in a world of blue lights and virtual relationships? Do you want your teenager to have communication and social skills and healthy real-life relationships with their peers, family, and themselves and are worried about the power technology has over them? Uh, yes!!! Please… This whole new world of texting and the world wide web of the internet has made it such a massive challenge for parents to keep their kids safe. It is an added challenge to teach them healthy boundaries around what the internet exposes them to and what influences their choices, both of which influence the formation of their very self-esteem and self-image. BIG stuff! Technology isn’t going away. How can we allow our children to use technology as a tool rater than become enslaved while still allowing them space for self-expression and connection?

Since the HPV vaccine was introduced to the public in 2006, it has been surrounded in controversy:conspicuously fast tracked by the FDA;speedily endorsed by the CDC;rapidly introduced to be mandated by nearly every state in the US;unusually challenged by some of the media and medical establishment, including the New England Journal of Medicine, the New York Times, and even one of its inventors;hailed by Pharmaceutical Executive magazine as “brand of the year” for its innovative and breakthrough marketing savvy;so aggressively promoted by Merck that Gardasil sales exploded, far eclipsing its flagship Measles, Mumps and Rubella II vaccine and bailing the company out of its staggering Vioxx litigation woes; andso widely adopted that, today, approximately 60% of adolescent girls and 42% of adolescent boys have received the vaccine.Time to add another bullet point to the above list…On January 14, 2016, the activist blog SaneVax revealed the details of an open letter sent by Sin Hang Lee, MD to the World Health Organization claiming “manipulation of data and suppression of science in order to maintain the illusion of HPV vaccine safety in the face of valid contradictory evidence.”Valerie Borek, Esq interviews SaneVax chief Norma Erickson about the stunning allegations:Who is Dr. Lee and why/how is he in a position to make these statements?What, exactly, did he say?What are the policy implications of this announcement?What has been the response of medical and government authorities?Is the HPV vaccine safe? What should parents do?Norma Erickson, President of Sane Vax, Inc., was an average citizen working as an independent business consultant and freelance author before she became aware of the number of people experiencing reported adverse reactions to the HPV vaccine. In 2010 she established SaneVax as a direct response to the worldwide devastation left in the wake of HPV vaccination programs. The SaneVax team believes no vaccine should be approved for public use without first being proven Safe, Affordable, Necessary and Effective.

#94 — Is Fluoride Safe?January 20, 2016Guest // Susan KanenHost //  Lisa BloomquistWater fluoridation is the controlled addition of fluoride to a public water supply to control tooth decay. The CDC says that the safety and benefits of fluoride are well-documented. It’s also in our toothpaste. Dentists promote it. Maybe you took fluoride pills when you were a child or you give fluoride in vitamin drops to your baby. We’ve been fluoridating our water for over 70 years; so long, in fact, that few people question its wisdom.But there is much more to the story. The Fluoride Action Network shares some surprising facts, including:97% of Western Europe does does not fluoridate its waterFluoridated countries do not have less tooth decay than non-fluoridated countries40% of teens show visible effects of fluoride over-exposure (36 studies show a correlation between fluoride and lower IQ)Did you know that the fluoride that is put in our water is a toxic byproduct of the fertilizer and aluminum industries?The dominant paradigm used to be, “The solution to pollution is dilution.” Now we are discovering that many toxins accumulate in our bodies and our environment.Could many chronic diseases of modernity be linked to water fluoridation?Susan Kanen is a biochemist who worked in water treatment facilities. She suffered from multiple health maladies, which she attributes to multiple exposures to fluoride. Find out how Susan’s chronic health problems are connected to water fluoridation, and learn how to protect yourself and your family.

Guest // Suzanne SomersHost // Kelly Brogan, MDYes, we want to be healthy. Once we stop nodding at the basic platitudes — sound sleep, regular exercise, smart nutrition —  however, we’re left wrestling with the brutal realities of living in the real world:It’s hard to be healthy. I’m not smart enough to reconcile so much conflicting information. Do whole grains promote health or cause inflammation?I’m too busy to be healthy. Who has time for this? I run out of day before the end of my job and family obligations.It’s stressful to be healthy. When I have free time, I want to chill out. I do not want to research about health.It’s bad for my social and family life to be healthy. People think I’m weird or they feel implicitly criticized by my actions. My family wants to fire me.It’s not enough to be healthy. I want to look good. What happens when the thing that’s healthy conflicts with the thing that makes me look and feel my best?We page through women’s magazines and wonder about the airbrushed images that stare back. These women are flawless but looking like that can’t be healthy. Gel manicures, make up, and highlights? Laxatives? Is there an oasis of sanity in Hollywood… a health maven and wellness guru who really knows her sh*t? Because we have questions:What does she wish she knew when she was in her 20s and 30s?What are the little “health nudges” that we should never ignore?What are the ten things she does every single day?And seriously… what is she really eating and how on earth does she get her hair and teeth to look so perfect?We want to talk turkey with someone who conquered the Hollywood game, confronted a terrifying health scare, and emerged a real life superstar. Join us for an hour with Suzanne Somers, a fearless advocate for reclaiming health, naturally.Suzanne Somers is an actress, bestselling author, and businesswoman. Her latest book, Tox-Sick, was released earlier this year. She defied conventional medicine, beat cancer, and became a health activist who’s helping to redefine what it means to be robustly, vibrantly resiliently healthy.

Guest // Meghan BrooklerHost //  Carla AthertonAbout 5% of children have difficulty receiving “normal” sensory inputs from the environment — sound, light, smell, clothing, food, movement — and respond in ways that are deemed inappropriate, like crying, screaming, covering their ears, or tuning out.Maybe they’re challenged in school or social situations; at the restaurant, mall, or airport; even with clothing tags or automatic flush toilets in public restrooms, to name just a few. Not all children are hypersensitive over-responders, however. Some might be under-responders who might be quiet, with a flat affect and low arousalresponse.These children might have a kind of “neurological traffic jam” going on. If the adults in a child’s life don’t understand what’s happening, the child can be labeled and medicated in a variety of heartbreaking ways. The next time you hear that a child that is difficult, clumsy, picky, anxious, oppositional, quirky, etc., it might be worth looking into something called Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD).What is SPD? Is it sometimes misdiagnosed as ADHD?How does SPD differ from Sensory integration dysfunction?What do parents wish that the medical community better understood about SPD?Is there a connection between colic/gastrointestinal symptoms and SPD?What kind of treatments are helping children today and what’s on the horizon?How are parents leading the way?Meghan Brookler is a certified nutritionist with an MS in Nutrition and Integrative Health, holistic practitioner, avid researcher, and a loving mom of a child with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD). Ever since discovering how to turn her family’s sensory struggle around through nutrition, occupational therapy, meditation and other holistic steps, she has been passionate to share what she’s learned. Her mission is to help every SPD family she can reach to stabilize their SPD struggle and start living happy, peaceful, empowered lives together. It’s not always easy, but she believes we can tap into tools to create more ease, understanding and support that nourish our families and makes for happier people!Carla Atherton, MA, Director of the Lotus Health Project, Writer and Editor, Workshop Instructor, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition practitioner, Transformational Nutrition Coach, Yoga Instructor, Health (R)evolutionary, and Children’s Health Advocate.

Host // Carla AthertonImagine that your healthy, happy child contracts a common illness and, seemingly overnight, becomes a different child, with emotional outbursts, physical aggression, strange body movements and vocalizations, and other surprising behaviors.Parents are perplexed and wringing their hands. They are witnessing dramatic and worrisome transformations in their previously healthy children.The sequence goes something like this:Infectious agents, environmental exposures, or other triggers are involved.There’s an unintended immune or autoimmune response that results in brain inflammation.The inflammation provokes severe, uncontrollable, and undesirable behaviors. These include OCD/tics, anxiety, sensory processing difficulties, and changes in varied areas, from cognition and personality, to handwriting and eating habits.Doctors don’t know what to make of it, let alone how to treat your child. But parents, registering that their children are in desperate need of help, are on the front lines of this condition that has become common enough to merit a name: Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome(PANS). You may be more familiar with the variant, called Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcus Infections (PANDAS). Many parents have been stunned to learn that their children have sky high ASO and Anti DNAase B titers showing strep infection.Then what? Parents have questions:Is PANS/PANDAS real? How prevalent is it?What are the signs and symptoms? Do they vary significantly among children?Do children heal? What treatment options are available?What happens if you don’t treat it? Can children outgrow PANS on their own?What advice do experienced parents offer?Heather Korbmacher, MED, NBCT is the founder of Courageous Educational Services LLC and mom of two. She has taught for more than 20 years in the K-12 and post-secondary classrooms as a Special Educator, Behavior Specialist, and Adjunct Professor. She recently left the classroom to care for her oldest son who contracted PANS nearly two years ago.

Guest // Alan Phillips, EsqHost //  Valerie Borek, EsqAll fifty states provide for medical exemptions to mandatory vaccination for day care and school admission. Forty-eight offer a religious exemption and 20 have a personal belief or philosophical opt-out provision…Until July 1, 2016, anyway… when SB277 takes effect and California joins Mississippi and West Virginia as the three states in this country to deny the option for a parent-directed vaccine exemption.More states may follow California’s lead; they are surely trying.On the heels of this legislative offensive and irrespective of state statutes, schools across the country have been putting the pressure on parents this fall.Can a school choose not to follow state law?Can a school exclude a child based on vaccination status?Do I have to explain my religious beliefs to obtain an exemption? Is this constitutional?What happens when a private day care or school won’t honor a religious vaccine exemption?What can we do to protect our rights?Attorney Alan Phillips is a nationally recognized vaccine law expert.

#83 — Great Expectations: Chiropractic in Pregnancy Host // Jeanne Ohm, DCChiropractors are the third largest group of doctorate-level primary care providers, behind medical doctors and dentists. Chiropractic has become mainstream treatment, with more than 30 million people annually. When it comes to pregnancy, however, women have a lot of questions:Is chiropractic care during pregnancy safe?Are chiropractors trained to work with pregnant women?Can birth outcomes be improved with chiropractic adjustments?What is intrauterine constraint and how can a misaligned pelvis affect the fetus?Did you know that chiropractic treatment can mitigate nausea, reduce time of labor and delivery, relieve back and joint pain, and prevent a potential caesarian birth?Jeanne Ohm, DC is a chiropractor who has practiced family wellness care since 1981 with her husband, Dr Tom.

Guest // Chris D. Meletis, NDHost // Lisa BloomquistThe mitochondria have important things to do, including production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP—the universal energy molecule), cellular apoptosis, calcium homeostasis, and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).Mitochondria are the engines of our cells, and so it follows that mitochondrial health is related to all other aspects of health. Mitochondria are mighty, but they are also vulnerable, and are damaged by many of the toxins in our world.So, what does this mean exactly?What is the relationship between mitochondrial health and many of the “mysterious” diseases of modernity?How can we protect our precious mitochondria?Can “resuscitating” mitochondria improve health outcomes?Since mitochondria and hormones are inextricably connected, how does mitochondrial health affects hormonal health? How do both affect chronic disease and aging?Chris D. Meletis, ND is a naturopathic physician out of Beaverton, Oregon. He is an educator, author and lecturer.

Guest // David George Haskell, PhDHost // Louise Kuo HabakusThe #1 ranked high school in the country is requiring this book, The Forest Unseen, as summer reading for all incoming freshmen. I picked it up and was hooked. The premise is simple — what can we learn by closely observing the same square meter of forest over a one year period?It’s no surprise that the forest can teach us biology. But does it also hold lessons about social connections, social responsibility, and our essential humanity?Yes.Imagine a contemporary biologist who writes like a poet — giddy with delight about the surprises and secrets that Nature will disclose to anyone who cares to take a closer look.We know that our kids need to spend more time outdoors. For this to happen, maybe parents need a dose of inspiration, too. This isn’t a quick read; you won’t (and shouldn’t) knock it off your list in a weekend. I’m reading it with my boys, individually. Each is drawn to different ideas — the brutal parasitism of the horsetail worm… stripping naked in -20F weather to experience winter as the chickadees do — but it feeds curiosity and spurs some terrific conversations.If you’re headed to the lake or mountains — or wish you were — this is the perfect summer read. The chapters are short and the insights are unexpected. It’s no wonder that this book was a finalist for the 2013 Pulitzer Prize and received numerous awards, including the National Academies’ Best Book Award for 2013, the 2013 Reed Environmental Writing Award, and the 2012 National Outdoor Book Award for Natural History Literature. A profile in The New York Times said that Haskell “gives the natural world the kind of open-minded attention one expects from a Zen monk rather than a hypothesis-driven scientist.”David George Haskell, PhD holds degrees from the University of Oxford and Cornell University. He is Professor of Biology at the University of the South, where he served as Chair of Biology.

Guest // Patricia Lemer, LPCHost // Beth LambertWhen a child is sick and parents are in “get it done” mode, stand back. We’re booking appointments, stocking up on supplies, recruiting therapists, setting up protocols, implementing new programs, and buying lots (and lots) of supplements. It’s a relief to be productive but the feeling doesn’t last. Our frenzied, sleepless activity gives way to a kind of unnatural calm where we ask:What am I missing?There are elements of a child’s growth and development that are almost always overlooked.  This is true for all children but it’s especially true for those on a healing journey. For example:State-of-the-art won’t mean a thing if the basics aren’t covered — think: sleep, sunshine, laughter.What are retained primitive reflexes and what do they have to do with memory, sensory integration, emotional maturity, eating, handwriting, and stress management (among many, many others)?Did you know that visual acuity (i.e., can your child see the blackboard?) is just one component of vision?Patricia S.

Guest // Jennifer Wiessner, LCSW, AASECTHost // Carla AthertonSex ed. Those two words are enough to have many of us running for the hills. Fall in, parents! Kids are consuming more media than ever before and the not-so-hidden messaging about sex is everywhere. Hate to break it to you but sex education is important for children BEFORE their school’s typical initiation in fifth grade. The good news is, it’s easier to talk about sex when children are younger. Legions of parents can tell you what happens if you wait too long — the never ending eye roll isn’t the half of it.Join host Carla Atherton and her favorite sex ed guru on kids and the “birds and the bees”:At what age should we start these chats?What are the top three myths about healthy sexuality that get in the way of conversations with our children?How, uh, specific do we really need to be and doesn’t this open up a can of worms? [Ed. note: It will definitely get their wheels turning. I was feeling pretty smug having had a good first discussion with my boys. As I was saying good-night and turning off the lights, my 8 year-old asked, “So, how exactly does the sperm get to the egg, ma?” My response? “Great question! My, it’s late. We’ll talk about that tomorrow.”]What do you mean when you say that we need to address our own issues about sex first?Do you have any scripts you can share with us… please?Jennifer Wiessner is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and certified Sex Therapist with a strong history working with adolescents and families.

Guest // Lawrence Caprio, NDHost // Mary Coyle, DIHomChildhood illness has changed so much since the early 20th century. Mortality rates are down markedly, and that’s a good thing. But we seem to have traded infectious disease for chronic illness.Some of most common afflictions affecting so many children are allergies — food, environmental, and idiopathic in origin. Parents and clinicians alike are bewildered. Why are kids so darn red and itchy, bumpy and rashy anyway? Debating the causes doesn’t get us far. We’re more concerned about relief.What happens if you don’t treat allergies?What are the most effective allergy treatments?What’s the relationship between allergy symptoms and chronic illness?What’s possible for children when allergy treatment is effective?Lawrence Caprio, ND recognized early in his career the importance of allergy treatment as an effective adjunct to the management of the majority of chronic degenerative diseases seen in medical practice today. Subsequently, he was among the first to pioneer the Interro System of computerized testing developed in Provo, Utah and the science of ‘phenolic food compounds’ researched by Dr. Robert Gardiner at Brigham Young University. Dr. Caprio successfully integrated these modalities and developed a uniquely effective system of non-invasive allergy testing and sublingual immunotherapy which he currently uses. This system of computerized non-invasive electrodermal testing and optimal dose sub-lingual immunotherapy allows for the safe, rapid desensitization of acute allergy symptoms, as well as the effective long term management of chronic allergic problems. Dr Caprio attended the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Oregon, where he obtained his degree in 1979. Since that time, he has built a successful 35+ year practice of Naturopathic and Preventive Medicine in Westport, CT. He treats patients worldwide.

Guest // Alan Sherr, DCHost // Larry Palevsky, MDDr. Larry Palevsky interviews Dr. Alan Sherr. They have known each other for 14 years, and have been working side by side for almost 10 years.In this upcoming hour, they will explain, confide, and dish about the varied ways they partner and share in the care of children and families:What are their respective approaches and how do they incorporate them into their practices to maximize the health of children?What is their position on the topics of nutrition, vaccines, preventive health, and the nervous and immune systems?What kinds of acute and chronic conditions do they treat together?There are different types of medical doctors and different types of chiropractors who practice varying degrees of conventional, integrative, and holistic medicine. After listening to this hour of conversation, you will glimpse at the future of  health care, where a team approach can help you maintain your children’s optimal well-being.Alan Sherr, DC has been in private practice for more than 34 years in Long Island, New York. He is founder and director of the Northport Wellness Center, a holistic health care practice which takes a “vitalistic” approach to health care.

He champions the philosophy of chiropractic, which emphasizes the uniqueness of each individual and views health as a dynamic process involving the body, mind and heart. Alan graduated from New York Chiropractic College in 1980. His book Heart of the Healer won the Benjamin Franklin Award for the Best New Publication. Alan’s practice includes healthy adults and children, and those with autism, chronic disease, and musculoskeletal illness.

Guest // Lisa BloomquistHost // Chandler Marrs, PhDWhen we think about adverse effects of antibiotics, we think about microbiomes…–  environmental microbiomes in the rise of antibiotic resistance, and– human microbiomes and ecosystem resiliencefollowing gross perturbations, including antibiotics.However, antibiotics can injure in other ways.We heard a lot about Cipro during the anthrax scares following 9/11. Cipro is part of the fluoroquinolone family of antibiotics: Cipro/ciprofloxacin, Levaquin/levofloxacin, Avelox/moxifloxacin and a few others. Unlike most antibiotics, fluoroquinolones can cause a multi-symptom, often chronic disease called Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Syndrome (FTS).FTS includes damage to connective tissue (tendons, ligaments, cartilage, fascia, etc.) throughout the body, damage to the nervous systems (central, peripheral and autonomic), and more. The damage done by fluoroquinolone antibiotics can destroy a person’s quality of life or even kill them. There is a time and a place for drugs with dangerous side effects. If you find yourself in a septic shock induced coma, fluoroquinolones may save your life.Unfortunately, fluoroquinolones are not being reserved for life or death situations. They are prescribed for urinary tract infections, suspected prostate infections, upper respiratory infections, and as a prophylactic for travelers’ diarrhea, ear infections, pink eye, and more. Thousands of people have suffered needlessly from the devastating effects of fluoroquinolone antibiotics, when another safer antibiotic could have, and should have, been used.Lisa Bloomquist will discuss her journey through FTS and share what she has learned, including:fluoroquinolones 101 — the basicswarning signs of FTSaspects of Fluoroquinolone Toxicity that make it tricky to recognizetreatments that have helped Fluoroquinolone Toxicity patients, andurgent pointers that parents must know when treating their child’s bacterial infections.Lisa Bloomquist is a patient advocate who was injured by Cipro in 2011.  She runs the Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Syndrome advocacy site  and manages The Fluoroquinolone Wall of Pain. Lisa is a guest blogger forHormones Matter and Collective Evolution, and hosts the Floxie Hope Podcast.

Guest // Barbara Loe FisherHost // Larry Palevsky, MDVaccination. It’s one of the most challenging subjects that parents encounter. Doctors vaccinate pregnant women and babies receive 33 doses of 14 vaccines by 15 months of age, starting on the day of birth.More parents are saying “no, thanks.” This is described as an educated, upper middle class phenomenon but the truth is that vaccine ambivalence cuts a wide swath. In addition to philosophical and religious objections, people are seriously concerned about the new childhood normal of sick, fat, and at risk kids.When parents try to talk about vaccine safety, they are quickly shot down (pun intended). In the media and in our neighborhood, risks are downplayed, parental fears are sidestepped, and name calling ensues. Parasite. Freeloader. Typhoid Mary. Non-vaccinating parents are told “the book is closed” (on the autism-vaccine link) and they are accused of medical neglect and spreading disease.These assertions are repeated by industry spokespeople and public health cops, but they are not supported by the evidence base. Mainstream media parrot the party line and fail to acknowledge serious, legitimate concerns. Parents want the straight story from true experts. Board-certified pediatrician, Larry Palevsky, interviews the nation’s leading vaccine safety advocate, Barbara Loe Fisher, and asks the burning questions:Are vaccines safe and effective?Can vaccines cause autism and chronic illness?Are all pediatricians required to vaccinate?What can parents do if they suspect a vaccine injury?How do parents opt out of vaccines?What does the close public-private partnership in vaccine promotion and development mean for vaccine safety?If vaccines are safe, why does government compensate individuals for harm and death caused by vaccines?Why are more parents questioning authority?What are good sources of information?Can you explain the meaning of the recent CDC whistleblower statement?Whether you’re a parent or contemplating vaccines for yourself, doing your own research starts with an open mind. Listen in.Barbara Loe Fisher is president of the National Vaccine Information Center, a non-profit charity she co-founded with parents of DPT vaccine injured children in 1982. Co-author of the seminal 1985 book, DPT: A Shot in the Dark, she has led a three-decade public information campaign to secure informed consent protections in U.S. vaccine policies and laws.

Children spend 7 hours 38 minutes per day using entertainment media. And due to media multitasking (i.e., surfing while texting), they actually pack 10 hours 45 minutes of media content into those 7+ hours.Do you know how the brain responds to video games and watching TV? Would it surprise you to know that children are overstimulating the part of the brain responsible for activating the “fight, flight or freeze” survival responses? And we are under-stimulating the activities that simulate the part of the brain responsible for empathy, relationship building, and executive function (i.e., planning, decision making, judgment).Today we interview Kristen Race, PhD author of Mindful Parenting  who integrates cognitive neuroscience, positive psychology, and child development offering suggestions that are grounded in the science of the brain. Kristen emphasizes small changes that can make a big difference. In this program she will teach parents the tools of resiliency, brain coolers, and the benefits of nurturing a mindfulness practice that can change how our brain works.

The emotional and financial toll of infertility is overwhelming. Couples report feelings of frustration, shame, social isolation, jealousy, and exhaustion. Ten to fifteen percent of US couples are infertile.What can we learn from the best information available today on infertility?What are the major drivers of infertility?Are there natural strategies?Can couples improve their prospects for conception through lifestyle changes?How about supplements?What do traditional medicine practices have to teach us?Three changes to make today if you are looking to conceive this year.Kelly Brogan, MD engages infertility expert Victoria Maizes in a candid, evidence-based discussion on the various ways women can prepare their bodies and minds for a healthy conception, pregnancy, and birth.Victoria Maizes, MD is the Executive Director of the University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine and a Professor of Medicine, Family and Community Medicine and Public Health, at the University of Arizona College of Medicine.

Six-time New York Times bestselling author + Personal medical crisis + Happy family expert  = Bruce Feiler on parenting after something bad happensAcross the country, families are already struggling with financial worries, time strain, and emotional stress.What happens to families when a health crisis hits?Are there parenting lessons about coping?Can we find grace and wisdom on a road filled with pain and heartache?We’ll be interviewing author, television personality, and dad of two Bruce Feiler about parenting through his “lost year” fighting life-threatening cancer, anticipating fatherhood in absentia via his inspired Council of Dads, and how the experience informed his new book The Secrets of Happy Families.Bruce writes the “This Life” column about today’s families for the Sunday New York Times, including the recent Together at Home and at Work, which offers conflict resolution advice for spouses who are working together. He is talking about professional projects but I think there’s potential applicability to any kind of shared, intense, goal-specific undertaking (including research and treatment options during a medical crisis).He is the author of six consecutive New York Times bestsellers, including Council of Dads, which was the subject of a one-hour documentary on CNN and Walking the Bible, which has been translated into fifteen languages and inspired a PBS series by the same name. 

 We’re getting down and dirty with Kimberly Ford Chisholm, the author of Hump: True Tales of Sex After Kids.Talk of sex and parents inspires lots of silly jokes and witty wordplay. One my favorites is a variant of Carpe diem…Seize the lay! All kidding aside, this is a really important discussion that yields some great advice inside hilarious, bawdy, angst-filled storytelling.When we floated the topic with some dad and mom friends and unnamed spouses, this is what we heard:Families are less functional when parents stop having sex with each other.If you’re not having sex with your spouse, don’t assume no one is having sex.Even if it’s absolutely, unequivocally the very last thing in the world you feel like doing, do it anyway. I’m always glad I did.Give a little, get a little.Listen to our interview with Kimberly then share the podcast with your favorite adult in the house. You’re welcome.

Something is urgently wrong with the way that American women are giving birth. Can it be that we are doing it in the wrong place? With the wrong types of professionals? Under the bright lights and prodding equipment of modern medicine? We rank near the bottom of industrialized countries in maternal and infant mortality, and in countries with the best maternal/infant outcome, cesarean rates hover around 15%, and 20-30% of births happen at home. Carefully manipulated studies promoted by obstetricians have showcased the dangers of a physiologic birth at home. Meanwhile, these same physicians are practicing in a field that bases only 30% of its recommendations on quality evidence. Join us as we wade through the myths and lore around hospital-free birthing.

It keeps us safe. It tells us when we need to do more research. And when we should consider a different path.We’re talking about that funny feeling we get. A sixth sense. A hunch about something or a vibe from someone. When the hairs on the back of our our neck stand up. Gut. Instinct.We’ll be talking about the ideas and strategies presented in the New York Times bestselling book, The Gift of Fear and the companion book Protecting the Gift: Keeping Children and Teenagers Safe (and Parents Sane) by Gavin De Becker.On any given day, we make hundreds of big and small decisions. Yes, it’s the uneasy feeling about a babysitter or the odd vibe from a stranger that makes us take the next elevator. It’s also what helps us choose among lots of options: the day care program or school for our children, the best job offer, the next book we’ll read.We rely on on intuition more than we know.Join us for a fascinating discussion about the technology of intuition and the gift of fear.
