While our Fallow Month of August has ended, we've got one more replay for you! (If you don't know or don't remember what a Fallow Month is, listen to the full explanation in episode 212! Or if you'd prefer some reading, check out Katja's piece If You Really Want to Learn Herbalism, Stop Studying.)This week we're airing a replay of episode 265: Elderberry Syrup Isn't Everything.Elderberry syrup isn't everything an herbalist has to offer to someone suffering from a cold, the flu, COVID, RSV, or any of the many other respiratory ailments to which we humans are susceptible. Despite being the first thought to come to many minds when asked if they're prepared for winter illnesses, we'd encourage you to broaden your view both of what elder does, and what herbs can do in these situations.Elderberry is famous for inhibiting viral replication, most notably of the flu virus, by interfering with its capacity to replicate. Elderberry constituents have been shown in petri-dish studies to bind the neuraminidase ‘spike' on the virus. It can therefore reduce the virus' capacity to ‘break into' our cells and convert them into virus-making factories.Sounds good! Note, however, that this particular mode of action was identified through in vitro studies. The limitation here is that the required concentration of those constituents may not be attained in our bloodstream when we ingest elderberry syrup. It may not reach the tissues which are under attack by the virus. So while this is an interesting mechanism of action – and one we've ourselves taught about often when discussing elderberry – we now consider it as potentially less relevant to the general impacts of elderberry on viral illness.So what matters more? The effects of elderberry on inflammatory patterns in the body. An efficient immune response includes inflammatory and anti-inflammatory actions, both at the right times and in the right amounts; elderberry supports this. And here's the good news: so do other berries! Every berry with deep pigmentation – blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, cranberry, serviceberry, aronia berry, and many more – will work to improve inflammation management within the body. At the same time, they'll enhance vascular integrity and flexibility (particularly important given the capacity of COVID to damage these tissues).So elder isn't the only berry who can help us. And berries aren't the only supportive herbs, either – nor are herbs the end of our options! First of all, elder offers flowers as much as berries, and those are helpful for managing fever.Working with elder in formula with other herbs – like our homemade winter elixir – is an excellent way to enhance its actions. But there are also plenty of good herbs beyond elderberry syrup, including pungents like ginger, decongestants like sage, expectorants like elecampane, and aromatics like pine. Last but by no means least: nourishing food, gentle movement, and restorative sleep can each be just as important as any herbal remedies we choose.If you live in the northern hemisphere, cold & flu season is just around the corner! No matter where you live, it's good to have the knowledge and skills you need to take care of these common problems at home. Herbal Remedies for Cold & Flu teaches you everything you need to know to conquer a cold or fight off the flu. We teach you how to work with herbs that are safe and effective for all aspects of the illness. These strategies can also be very effective when coping with COVID, RSV, and other respiratory infections, too!

Flu season can arrive sooner—and spread faster—than many people expect. In this special edition of Late Night Health, host Mark Alyn speaks with Dr. Samantha Picking, Senior Director of Immunizations at Walgreens, about how older adults and other high-risk individuals can prepare for the coming respiratory illness season.Dr. Picking explains why September and October are generally the best months to receive a flu shot, giving the body approximately two weeks to build protection before cases begin to rise. She also addresses one of the most persistent misconceptions about vaccination: the flu shot cannot give you the flu. Mild soreness, aches, or a brief fever may occur after vaccination, but these temporary reactions are different from an influenza infection.The conversation also explores the enhanced flu vaccines recommended for adults 65 and older, how scientists determine which influenza strains to include in each year's vaccine, and why declining vaccination rates remain a public-health concern. In addition, Dr. Picking discusses other important vaccines—including RSV, COVID-19, pneumococcal disease, and shingles—and explains that multiple vaccines can safely be administered during the same visit.Listeners will also learn how pharmacists can review their health history, medications, and vaccination records to help identify which immunizations may be appropriate. With many vaccines available at little or no cost through Medicare or private insurance, this timely interview offers practical guidance for staying protected throughout flu season—and reminds listeners that their neighborhood pharmacist can be an accessible, trusted source of information and care.

Auckland kindergartens have been emptier than usual this week, with some reporting more than half of their children off sick. Flu-related hospitalisations are at a 10 year high in Auckland, and national infection rates are at a four year high. The late season influenza spike has sparked concern for some of the most vulnerable, with reports of under-fives in intensive care, and outbreaks across 20 aged care facilities last week. Jessica Hopkins reports.
Joyce talks about a study that shows Tamiflu was linked to the deaths of several flu patients it was prescribed to. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mary Holland, president of Children's Health Defense, joins the program to discuss President Trump's latest executive order amending the childhood vaccine schedule.We examine the politics surrounding the order, who supports it, who is fighting it, and Holland's thoughts on why the entire country—not just red states—could ultimately benefit from these changes. We also discuss what the order means for vaccine recommendations, mandates, parental choice, and the larger battle unfolding over the future of vaccine policy in America. We also discuss the newly FDA-approved Moderna mRNA flu vaccine for adults 50 and older and the troubling safety numbers surrounding its approval. Moderna's own studies show an adverse side-effect rate of more than 75%, while an analysis of the data shows roughly 270 severe side effects for every one hospitalization the vaccine saves. The statistics couldn't be much worse, yet the FDA approved its use. This follows on the heels of the Navy mandating the flu vaccine for specified personnel, after the broader military mandate had previously been lifted. What does this seemingly contradictory picture tell us about the agendas and policies now taking shape—and where are they ultimately headed?Learn more and sign up for the Children's Health Defense newsletter at ChildrensHealthDefense.org.See Webinar replays and more at SarahWestall.Substack.com.
A surge of influenza A is hitting New Zealand. This year's numbers are the highest in four years, and hospitalisations in Auckland are the highest they've been for a decade. Covid health measures have been reinstated in GP clinics with phone-first triaging and respiratory patients being separated from normal patients. Dr Bryan Betty joined Jack Tame to discuss the outbreak – what's happening, why it seems so severe, and if it can be treated at home. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Healthline has called in reinforcements to cope with a deluge of calls following a surge in flu like illnesses. The boss of Health New Zealand says the entire system is under pressure from the biggest flu outbreak in years. Flu related hospitalisations are at a 10 year high in Auckland.

“I'm afraid it'll be quite a wait,” said the receptionist in the afterhours surgery. It was Thursday early-afternoon. Hardly rush-hour by the standards of 24-hour medical centres, but there was barely a spare seat in the waiting room: a collage of sickly, grey faces. As we pulled into the carpark, an ambulance pulled out. “And because you've tested positive,” said the receptionist. “You'll have to wait in your vehicle.” All good. We figured as much. Depending on how you counted it, my poor wife was on day nine or ten of influenza A. The sinus infection compounding her misery is apparently a fairly common occurrence given how influenza depletes your immunity, but when you're a week and half deep already, what's a few more hours? It's not too clear how we got it in our house. it was clear when the nine-year-old first went down that he was out for the count. You know how we use the term ‘flu' as a bit of a catch all? It was pretty bloody obvious this was the real thing. You can tell a kid is really sick when they go quiet. It's so hard to see it in someone you love. And honestly, a bit unsettling. The poor boy had no appetite. No thirst. No interest in taking anything that may soothe his brutal cough. He lay in bed one morning without so much as a book to keep him entertained. He didn't want anything except for rest. When I came back and checked on him after half an hour or so, he was still awake, still clammy, but he'd barely moved. I don't know how I've avoided it. I've had a couple of brutal colds this winter including the one that took my voice on this show, three weeks ago. But though my wife and I had the same jab on the same day, she was wiped out by influenza A and somehow —touch wood— I've skated through so far. Watching her over this last week and a half has been a good reminder of why influenza can be so dangerous. We're young and relatively fit and healthy. You can why so many people end up in hospital. And so many of them are. It's hard to keep up with the records being shattered as a result of this winter flu. Hato Hone St John has broken its daily record for 111 callouts several times. Their weekly callout records have been broken. Hospital ED presentations are higher than during Covid. After she was triaged, my wife eventually saw the doctor. The doc was in full PPE, mask and gown, the Covid special. And for those few minutes we spent inside the clinic this week, we had a perfect little insight into the typical working environment that doctors and nurses and cleaners and receptionists and frontline medical staff around the country are exposed to every single day at the moment. A baby screaming. People in the waiting room coughing up who-knows-what, exhausted, frustrated, impatient. A never-ending stream of patients needing triaging... the sick and the really sick. I'll be honest, I was in the building for all of ten minutes and I couldn't wait to get out, but the doctor was so good humoured. So kind and efficient. So practical and pragmatic. In the absolute depths of the winter crush, she was bouncing from one patient to the next, knowing there's no foreseeable moment when the backlog will be cleared. It could be like this for days or weeks, still. Knowing that all the time she and everyone else trying to help are inevitably risking their own health and being exposed to all sorts of horrid things. It might sound trite, but to all of those health workers on the frontlines of this epic winter flu surge... We see you. We really, really appreciate you.

Always consult your physician before making changes to your diet, exercise routine, or medications.TL;DR* The CDC's top 10 causes of death account for roughly 74% of all deaths in the US each year, and up to 80% of chronic disease is estimated to be driven by lifestyle factors — diet, movement, sleep, stress, and toxin exposure. * This episode goes cause by cause (heart disease, cancer, COVID/respiratory disease, accidents, stroke, Alzheimer's, diabetes, kidney disease, flu/pneumonia, and suicide) and lays out what the peer-reviewed research says about preventing, slowing, or reversing each one.* Ready to build your own plan? Book a free Metabolic Blueprint Session →The List, and the Number That Should Keep You Up at NightAccording to the CDC, ten conditions account for about 74% of all deaths in the United States every year:* Heart disease* Cancer* COVID-19 / chronic lower respiratory diseases* Accidents (unintentional injuries)* Stroke* Alzheimer's disease* Diabetes* Kidney disease* Influenza and pneumonia* SuicideHere's the part that doesn't get said enough: research estimates that up to 80% of chronic disease is driven by lifestyle factors — diet, movement, sleep, stress, and toxin exposure. Those aren't destinies. They're decisions, and decisions can change.A landmark paper in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that poor diet alone accounts for more deaths in the US than tobacco use. The fork may be more dangerous than the cigarette. And yet, most patients who end up on four to six medications were never once asked what they eat, how they sleep, or whether they move their bodies before those prescriptions were written. That's the difference between a sick care system and a healthcare system.Heart Disease and Stroke: The Most Reversible Disease We KnowHeart disease kills one American every 34 seconds and has held the #1 spot for over a century. But it's also one of the most reversible conditions in medicine.In 1990, Dr. Dean Ornish's landmark Lifestyle Heart Trial showed that intensive lifestyle changes — diet, exercise, stress management, and social support — could reverse coronary artery disease without drugs or surgery. Arterial plaques reduced. Blood flow improved. Chest pain decreased. A 2019 study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology confirmed it: a plant-predominant diet, regular aerobic exercise, not smoking, and a healthy weight reduced cardiovascular risk by over 80%.What that looks like in practice:* A Mediterranean or whole-food, plant-based diet rich in omega-3s and antioxidants (this isn't the only diet that works — it's the broadest evidence-backed baseline)* Zone 2 cardio (low-intensity aerobic work, three to five times a week — a brisk walk counts)* Managing chronic inflammation, the real driver of arterial plaque formation* Reducing refined sugar and seed oils, which damage the endothelial lining of the arteries* Prioritizing sleep, since poor sleep spikes cortisol and directly harms the heartStroke follows the same playbook: control blood pressure through diet, exercise, and stress reduction. The DASH diet in particular has been shown in multiple studies to lower blood pressure as effectively as medication in many patients.Cancer: 30–50% Preventable, and Possibly More Metabolic Than GeneticTo be clear, this isn't a claim about curing cancer — it's about how much prevention research is available and underused. The World Health Organization estimates that 30–50% of cancers are preventable. The American Institute for Cancer Research has identified lifestyle factors that dramatically reduce risk across multiple cancer types:* Diet. A 2022 meta-analysis in The Lancet linked poor dietary patterns — low fiber, low fruit/vegetable intake, high processed meat — to one in five cancer deaths globally.* Obesity. Excess weight is now the second-leading risk factor for cancer after smoking, because fat tissue is metabolically active and produces hormones like estrogen and inflammatory cytokines that fuel cancer growth.* Exercise. A 2019 study of over 1.4 million people found higher physical activity was associated with lower risk across 13 cancer types, including breast, colon, and endometrial cancer.* Fasting and metabolic health. Emerging research on intermittent fasting and time-restricted eating shows it can lower insulin-like growth factor, a key promoter of cancer cell proliferation.* Toxin reduction. Chronic low-grade exposure to pesticides, plastics (BPA, phthalates), and environmental pollutants has been linked to increased cancer risk. Choosing organic where possible, filtering water and air, and reducing plastic in cookware and storage all matter.There's also a deeper shift happening in how researchers understand cancer itself. It's long been treated primarily as a genetic disease, but the evidence is increasingly pointing toward cancer as a metabolic disease. Dr. Thomas Seyfried at Boston College has done groundbreaking work showing that cancer cells overwhelmingly rely on glucose and glutamine fermentation for energy — which is why a ketogenic or low-glycemic approach may help starve cancer cells while protecting healthy ones. The research is still evolving, but it's compelling.Think of your body like a garden. You can water it, enrich the soil, and pull the weeds — or you can dump sugar and chemicals on it and wonder why nothing grows right. Disease doesn't happen to you. It grows in an environment you create, consciously or not. The good news: you can change that environment starting today.Alzheimer's: “Type 3 Diabetes”Alzheimer's is rising, and it's terrifying to watch someone go through it. But emerging science shows it has a strong lifestyle and metabolic component — researchers now sometimes call it “type 3 diabetes” because of the profound link between insulin resistance and neurodegeneration.Dr. Dale Bredesen's ReCODE Protocol, published in the Journal of Aging, showed that a multimodal lifestyle intervention — diet, exercise, sleep optimization, hormone balancing, and stress reduction — reversed early cognitive decline in the majority of patients treated. In his 2014 case series, 9 of 10 patients with early Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment showed measurable improvement, with several returning to work.Key strategies from the research:* Sleep is non-negotiable. The brain's glymphatic (waste clearance) system activates primarily during sleep, flushing out amyloid beta plaque. Poor sleep means plaque buildup.* Exercise. A 2020 study showed aerobic exercise increases BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) — essentially fertilizer for neurons — and reduces dementia risk by up to 35%.* Mediterranean-MIND diet. Shown to slow cognitive aging by an estimated 7.5 years in adherent individuals.* Blood sugar management. Insulin resistance in the brain disrupts its ability to use glucose for energy, effectively starving neurons.* Social connection. Harvard's 80-year longitudinal study found relationship quality was the single strongest predictor of cognitive health and longevity in old age.Type 2 Diabetes and Kidney Disease: One Disease Driving AnotherOver 37 million Americans have type 2 diabetes, and another 96 million are pre-diabetic. Here's the part that surprises people: type 2 diabetes is reversible in the majority of cases, and this isn't controversial — the science is overwhelming.The 2019 DiRECT trial, published in The Lancet, found that nearly half of type 2 diabetics achieved full remission through an intensive dietary intervention alone, with no medication. Other studies using low-carbohydrate and very-low-calorie diets have replicated these results consistently.Diabetic nephropathy — kidney damage from chronically high blood sugar — is the leading cause of kidney failure in the US. Control the upstream issue (blood sugar and metabolic dysfunction) and you protect the downstream organ.The diabetes reversal framework from the research:* Dramatically reduce refined carbohydrates and added sugars to blunt insulin spikes and reduce fat storage in the liver and pancreas* Practice time-restricted eating or intermittent fasting to improve insulin sensitivity* Add resistance training — muscle is your biggest glucose sink, so more muscle means better blood sugar control* Reduce visceral fat (the fat around and inside your organs), a key driver of insulin resistance and inflammationIf this list feels like a lot, that's fair. But it's not about blame — it's about empowerment. You have more control over your health outcomes than the medical system has typically told you.Respiratory Disease, Flu, and PneumoniaChronic lower respiratory diseases like COPD and emphysema are largely driven by smoking and air quality. Quitting smoking remains the single most impactful intervention here, full stop.For flu and pneumonia risk, immune resilience matters: vitamin D optimization, zinc and elderberry, and gut microbiome health (roughly 70% of your immune system lives in your gut). Even mild sleep deprivation has been shown to quadruple susceptibility to viral infection.Suicide and Mental HealthThis is the cause of death nobody wants to talk about, but it's in the top 10 — and it's the leading cause of death for men under 50, and the second-leading cause of death for people ages 10–34.While this is complex and deeply personal, research points to several lifestyle levers:* Exercise functions as an effective antidepressant, largely through endorphin release* The gut-brain axis matters more than most people realize — over 75% of the body's serotonin is produced in the gut, so gut health directly shapes brain chemistry* Social connection and purpose. Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, written while he was in a Nazi concentration camp, captured this: meaning and connection to purpose are essential for survival, and perspective shapes both physiology and outcome* Reducing alcohol, a central nervous system depressant that worsens anxiety and depression despite short-term reliefIf you or someone you love is struggling, crisis hotlines are available 24/7. There's often a reason it's happening, and there's often a way through it.The Common ThreadAcross every single one of these conditions — heart disease, stroke, cancer, Alzheimer's, diabetes, kidney disease, respiratory disease, immune function, mental health — the same five levers keep showing up: diet, exercise, sleep, toxin reduction, and blood sugar balance.Your daily habits are either building disease or building resilience. Every meal, every walk, every night of good sleep compounds — just like interest in a bank account.This Week's Action Plan* Do a food audit. For the next three days, write down everything you eat. No judgment, just awareness — you can't change what you can't see.* Walk 30 minutes a day. It lowers blood pressure, improves insulin sensitivity, boosts BDNF, and reduces cortisol. Simple, not easy — do it anyway.* Optimize your sleep. Consistent bedtime, dark room, cool temperature, no screens.* Get your labs done. Know your fasting glucose, A1C, CRP, vitamin D, triglycerides, and LDL — these are your early warning systems.* Address one stress source this week. A conversation you need to have, a boundary you need to set, or ten minutes of breathwork. Chronic stress is silently killing you — take action on it.Ready for a Real Plan?If you're ready to take your health seriously and want a clear roadmap instead of guesswork, book a Metabolic Blueprint Session.

The benefits of getting a shingles vaccine seem relatively straightforward: It will prevent you from getting shingles, a painful rash caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. But researchers have found a surprising link between getting the shingles vaccine and a lower risk of developing dementia. And that's not the only vaccine that seems to have additional benefits. So what's going on here? To help explain this research are epidemiologist Pascal Geldsetzer, who studies the association between the shingles vaccine and lower rates of dementia; and physician and epidemiologist Helen Chu, who studies the Flu, RSV and COVID-19 viruses. Guests: Dr. Pascal Geldsetzer is an assistant professor of medicine, epidemiology and population health at Stanford University. Dr. Helen Chu is a professor of epidemiology, allergy and infectious diseases at the University of Washington.

How untreated strep throat sent Ron into a coma the first time — in 2015What vasopressors are, why they saved his life, and why they cost What do you do when the love of your life is fighting for his life — and four kids are at home counting on you to hold everything together?Victoria Rosas is a former Dallas attorney, mom of four in a beautifully blended family, and one of the most quietly extraordinary women we've ever sat across from at the Moms Club.In 2022, her husband Ron — a former professional tennis player who competed for Notre Dame, played the pro tour, and coached their kids on the court — woke up feeling off. Within 24 hours, he was intubated. Within days, the medication saving his life was slowly taking something else: blood flow to all four of his limbs.Victoria was told multiple times he wasn't going to survive.He did. But what came next — nine surgeries, 70 hours in the operating room, nine weeks in Ohio, and coming home to a kindergartner and three kids on the verge of launching — is a story about what strength actually looks like when it has no other choice.

What happens when a sharp-eyed cruise ship doctor spots a hantavirus amid a sea of hangovers and flu symptoms? In this high-stakes episode of the Prolonged Field Care Podcast, Dennis sits down with Dr. Ryan Maves — combat-experienced infectious disease expert and military medicine veteran — to break down the shocking recent Andes virus outbreak.Far from the next global pandemic, hantaviruses are a real, rodent-borne threat that has hit soldiers before (Korean War, anyone?) and can strike deployed units in austere environments. Ryan delivers hard-hitting insights on rapid diagnosis, the “off-script” decompensation that screams hantavirus, supportive care when there's no magic antiviral, and — most importantly — prevention strategies that actually work in the field.If you operate in rodent-infested buildings, set up in abandoned structures, or just want to trust your gut when a patient goes south fast, this episode is required listening. Real talk from the A-team who are currently managing these patients stateside.Key TakeawaysClassic presentation: Flu-like prodrome (fever, fatigue, myalgias, GI upset) for a few days followed by sudden shock, respiratory failure, and decompensation.Bedside diagnostic gold: Thrombocytopenia (low platelets) + hemoconcentration (elevated hematocrit) in a previously healthy patient = major red flag.Treatment reality: Purely supportive — fluids, pressors, oxygen, renal support. No silver-bullet antiviral; ribavirin has limited data at best.Prevention beats everything: Humans are dead-end hosts. Avoid aerosolizing rodent urine/feces/droppings (no dry sweeping!). Use bleach, N95 (or equivalent), gloves, and gown.Human-to-human spread: Extremely rare except with Andes virus (this outbreak strain). Still, treat unknowns with respect.Military relevance: Endemic in deployment zones worldwide; occupying previously rat-infested buildings is a classic risk. History tied directly to U.S. troops in Korea.Mindset: When things go “off script,” trust your clinical instincts over machines. The best tool in the field is still an experienced medic's gut.Chapters00:00 – Welcome back to the PFC Podcast00:26 – Introducing Dr. Ryan Maves & the cruise ship outbreak00:55 – Why this isn't the next pandemic… but still matters03:04 – Military relevance: hantaviruses in deployment zones03:51 – How the cruise ship doc nailed the diagnosis05:27 – Clinical syndrome & the “virus-y” prodrome07:04 – Key labs: thrombocytopenia + hemoconcentration explained09:42 – Disease progression and why young healthy people can still crash10:50 – History of hantaviruses (Korean War → Sin Nombre → Andes)12:21 – Who actually dies and why14:50 – Biocontainment units and the military experts on the case17:35 – Treatment in the field: supportive care only19:35 – Shock management: distributive + capillary leak20:55 – Prevention is king: rodent control & PPE tactics24:22 – Human-to-human transmission (Andes virus exception)27:31 – Infection control, differential diagnosis, and real-world precautions30:08 – Final thoughts: clinical acumen, zoonoses, and trusting your instincts32:32 – Closing & where to find more PFC contentGrab your N95 and hit playFor more content, go to www.prolongedfieldcare.orgConsider supporting us: patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective or www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care
