In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jennifer Timmons, MD, a board-certified family physician and longevity doctor, to explore why fertility cannot be separated from whole-body health. After more than a decade in traditional primary care at UCLA Health, Dr. Timmons recognized how often the conventional system waits for disease rather than addressing the dysfunction beneath it. She now blends functional, precision, and longevity medicine to help her patients build true vitality from the inside out. We talk about why your terrain matters as much as any protocol, how gut health quietly drives inflammation and autoimmune conditions, and why so many seemingly unrelated symptoms trace back to a compromised gut lining. Dr. Timmons walks us through the role of leaky gut in fertility, the importance of blood sugar stability for egg and sperm quality, and the everyday lifestyle inputs that influence cellular health, including light exposure, circadian rhythm, time-restricted eating, and microplastic exposure. She also shares which longevity practices are accessible to everyone, why social connection turned out to be one of the strongest predictors of long life in Harvard research, and the simple food order and movement habits that move the needle most for metabolic health. This conversation is a thoughtful, grounded look at how to support the body so it can do what it already knows how to do. Key Takeaways: Fertility is a reflection of whole-body health, not an isolated system. Optimizing your terrain matters as much as any procedure or protocol. Gut health is foundational. Leaky gut and compromised intestinal lining can drive autoimmune conditions, inflammation, and impaired nutrient absorption, all of which affect fertility outcomes. Even a nutrient-rich diet cannot do its work if the gut barrier is inflamed. Healing the gut lining is often the missing piece in fertility preparation. Chronic inflammation is one of the biggest drivers of disease and reproductive dysfunction. Identifying and addressing inflammatory triggers can shift the entire picture. Blood sugar stability directly impacts egg and sperm quality. Simple shifts like eating fiber and protein before carbs, walking after meals, and avoiding late-night eating make a real difference. Light, circadian rhythm, and meal timing are powerful regulators of hormonal and cellular health. A simple 12-hour overnight fast offers measurable benefits without extreme restriction. Microplastics and environmental toxins are quietly impacting reproductive health. Fiber, NAC, sweating, and reducing plastic exposure all support your body's natural detox pathways. Longevity practices are accessible to everyone. Whole foods, movement, quality sleep, clean water, and strong social connection are the real foundations of a long, healthy life. Social connection is one of the strongest predictors of longevity, even more than diet or socioeconomic status in Harvard research. Community is medicine.

Not all "healthy" foods are what they claim to be. In this episode, Dr. Barrett breaks down the top five foods marketed as health-conscious choices that are quietly wrecking your metabolism and gut: protein bars and whey shakes, nut milks, juices, gluten-free products, and "healthy" sparkling sodas. He explains what's actually in them (sugar alcohols, glyphosate, oxalates, artificial sweeteners), why the labels are misleading, and what real alternatives to reach for instead.. . . Watch the episode on YouTube here!

Colonel Drew Miller, former Pentagon analyst and retired Air Force commander, joins the program for a serious conversation about the possibility of a functional societal collapse—how likely it is, what it could actually look like, and which systems are most vulnerable. We discuss how failures in critical infrastructure, supply chains, government services, and public order could cascade into a much larger crisis, along with some of the difficult and controversial decisions individuals and communities could face if the systems they depend on stop functioning.Miller also discusses Constitutional rights and his belief that Americans have both the right and responsibility to refuse unlawful or unconstitutional orders. We examine how independent judgment, preparation, and strong communities could become critical when institutions fail—and why protecting yourself, your family, and your community may require thinking through uncomfortable scenarios before a crisis arrives. Learn more about Miller's work and his book, Preparing to Survive in the Age of Collapse, on his website at DrewMiller.com.

Episode SummaryIn this episode, Dr. Candida Fink and special educator Jo-Ann Berry dive into the nuances of supporting students with ADHD in the classroom. Moving beyond repetitive "pay attention" reminders, they explore the "curious approach" to prompting—asking students if they are stuck or simply thinking. The conversation covers practical classroom strategies for high schoolers, the importance of student autonomy, and how simple adjustments like doodling or movement breaks can transform a student's ability to engage with challenging or tedious tasks.Key Points & HighlightsThe Power of Curiosity: Replacing standard redirections with curious questions (e.g., "Are you thinking or are you stuck?") helps students re-engage without feeling singled out or shamed.The "Neuro-Spicy" Classroom: Strategies like doodling, fidgets, and varied seating (wobbly stools, yoga balls, or spin chairs) are essential tools that help ADHD brains "reset" their attentional systems.Autonomy in High School: Giving older students the choice to opt-out or delay a task often leads to better engagement, as it shifts the dynamic from compliance to personal responsibility.Functional Writing Skills: For 11th and 12th graders, the focus shifts from academic perfection to functional communication, such as emailing a doctor or writing a job application.The Flaw in IEP Goals: Jo-Ann critiques the common IEP phrasing "the student needs to..." and argues that goals should reflect what the educator wants to see, rather than placing the "need" solely on the student.Takeaways & Practical TipsFor Teachers: Use neutral "check-ins" like "Are you with me?" rather than demanding eye contact. If a student is looking away, they may still be listening.For Students: Identify which sensory "muscle" helps you focus—whether it's a specific fidget, standing up for a minute, or taking a strategic "mental break" by looking out the window.Movement as a Tool: Understand that movement helps "wire" the brain to focus. Even a brief walk to the restroom can serve as a necessary cognitive reset.Writing Prompts: Use low-stakes, non-daily writing prompts to build the "writing muscle" without the pressure of a major grade.Resources MentionedRoss Greene's Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) Model: Referenced for its "What's up?" approach to problem-solving.Classroom Tools: Wobbly stools, yoga balls, spin chairs, and fidget bins.Digital Tools: iPads/Tablets for doodling during lessons or, even better, paper and pencil.Connect With UsWe want to hear from you!

Much like golf, which Arnold Palmer once said, “is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated,” launching a beverage brand looks easy from the outside, but day-to-day execution is deeply complex. But then, what happens when you combine both? Well, in this episode, we sit down with Luc Bohunicky, the first-time CPG founder behind COURSE RECORD, a functional beverage custom-built to combat the dreaded "back-nine fade." In this conversation, Luc shares his firsthand experiences navigating fragmented alternative sales channels (like golf courses and country clubs), fighting the "category curse" of large retailers, and managing diverse expansion opportunities as RTD beverage with less than two years in-market. Plus, we're talking through how a generation of YouTube content creators is giving the sport an enthusiastic facelift and how golf-focused functional nutrition brands (like COURSE RECORD) should be thanking the “Tiger Effect” for successfully helping move the needle from mere “snacking” to intentional “fueling.” Whether you're an early-stage CPG founder attempting to carve out a new category within an emerging niche market or proactive builder with a love for the evolving functional beverages market…this is the manual for anyone trying to solve the countless unsexy CPG entrepreneurial puzzles.

Think your gut is healthy because you don't have bloating, constipation or indigestion? Think again. In this episode, Tara explains why you can have significant gut dysbiosis without a single digestive symptom—and why that matters if you're taking HRT. Your gut plays a critical role in how your body metabolises and eliminates estrogen. Tara unpacks the connection between the microbiome, liver detoxification, the estrobolome, and beta-glucuronidase, and explains why simply taking supplements like DIM or calcium D-glucarate isn't addressing the root cause. Whether you're on HRT or supporting your hormones naturally, this episode will help you understand why a healthy gut is essential for healthy hormone metabolism—and why optimising your gut may be one of the most important steps you can take, even if your digestion feels perfectly normal. In this episode:  How hormones are metabolised through the liver and gut Why you can have significant gut dysfunction without digestive symptoms Why Tara no longer recommends DIM (and rarely uses milk thistle) The estrobolome explained: your gut's role in estrogen metabolism Why calcium D-glucarate isn't the answer The real cause of elevated beta-glucuronidase Why adjusting your HRT dose may not solve the real problem Mentioned in this episode: PIQUE TEA - These are some of Tara's favourite teas!

Could your gut be playing a bigger role in your missing period than you realize? In this episode, I'm joined by Lauren Furgiuele, Registered Dietitian and lead dietitian inside Nourished Fertility, to break down one of our favorite functional lab tests: the GI-MAP stool test. We unpack what this test actually measures, why gut health matters for hormone recovery and fertility, and how hidden gut issues could be making it harder for your body to ovulate and get your period back. You'll learn why digestion is about so much more than bloating, what common findings like H. pylori or low digestive enzymes can mean, and why the goal isn't to fear food or eliminate everything—but to understand what's happening inside your body so you can support true healing.

Phyllis sits down with two friends in very different time zones — Laurel Simpson in Canada and holistic pain coach Esther Mooney in Australia — for a conversation about something most of us carry quietly: pain that doesn't have a clear cause. Esther spent over two decades chasing answers for pain that moved from her knees to her ankles to her pelvis to her neck, until she learned that the brain itself generates pain — and that fear is what keeps the cycle spinning. What unfolds is a tender, honest look at how our emotions live in our bodies, why "I'm okay as I am" might be the most healing sentence you say all day, and how the work we do at Connection Codes is deeply aligned with calming a nervous system that's been stuck in danger mode. If you've ever been told "there's nothing wrong" while you're still hurting, this one's for you.In this episode:•Why all pain is real — and why the brain creates it (neuroplastic pain explained simply)•The fear-pain cycle, and how avoidance quietly makes our world smaller•The FIT assessment (Functional, Inconsistent, Triggered) — a starting point for asking, "Is my pain structural or learned?"•How emotional stress shows up as physical flare-ups•The "six F's" we reach for when pain hits (fear, focus, fix, frustration, figure it out, fight) and why they backfire•Practical tools: somatic tracking, pleasant sensations, and the evidence journal•Esther walks the Core Emotion Wheel about her own pain journeyAbout Esther Mooney: Esther is a holistic pain coach based in Australia and a former ballet dancer whose own two-decade journey with chronic pain led her to the mind-body field and the work of Dr. John Sarno. She helps people struggling with chronic, persistent pain understand the science of neuroplastic pain and teach their nervous systems safety again.

What can you actually do to support gallbladder health—before or after gallbladder removal?In Part 3 of our Gallbladder Series, we move from theory into practice. After exploring the relationship between the gallbladder, microbiome, hormones, and bile acids in Parts 1 and 2, we discuss the clinical tools, supplements, dietary strategies, and testing considerations we use to support patients with gallbladder dysfunction, bile acid disorders, and post-cholecystectomy symptoms. We explore why some patients continue to struggle with digestive symptoms long after gallbladder removal, how hormone fluctuations impact bile flow, and why supporting the microbiome may be one of the most overlooked pieces of gallbladder care.Whether you're dealing with gallstones, bile acid diarrhea, digestive symptoms after surgery, or simply want to better understand how to support healthy bile flow, this episode is packed with practical takeaways.✔ Conventional approaches to gallbladder disease and gallbladder removal✔ Why removing the gallbladder doesn't always solve the entire problem✔ The long-term microbiome consequences of cholecystectomy✔ The connection between gallbladder function, metabolism, and insulin resistance✔ Taurine and glycine for bile acid conjugation and bile production✔ Bitter herbs and how they support bile flow and gallbladder function✔ Dandelion, gentian, chicory, and other classic digestive bitters✔ Phosphatidylcholine, lecithin, and cholesterol balance within bile✔ Choline supplementation and gallbladder support✔ Magnesium and gallbladder motility✔ Ox bile, TUDCA, UDCA, and digestive enzyme support✔ Psyllium fiber and bile acid regulation✔ Butyrate and microbiome support after gallbladder removal✔ The estrogen–microbiome–gallbladder connection✔ DIM and calcium-d-glucarate for estrogen metabolism✔ NAC, milk thistle, and liver support✔ Hormone replacement therapy considerations in patients with gallbladder disease✔ Functional testing options for patients with gallbladder concerns✔ How these concepts have changed our clinical approach to patient care✔ Gallbladder removal may be necessary, but it should also prompt a deeper look at why gallbladder dysfunction developed in the first place.✔ Taurine, glycine, bitters, magnesium, and phosphatidylcholine can all play important roles in supporting bile production and flow.✔ The microbiome is central to bile acid metabolism and should be considered in patients with ongoing digestive symptoms.✔ DIM and calcium-d-glucarate may help support healthy estrogen metabolism and reduce gallbladder stress in susceptible individuals.✔ Post-cholecystectomy patients may benefit from additional support for digestion, microbiome balance, fat-soluble vitamins, and bile acid regulation.✔ Hormones, bile acids, the liver, and the microbiome are deeply interconnected systems that influence one another in meaningful ways.Part 1: Gallbladder Physiology, Bile Acids & The MicrobiomePart 2: The Estrogen–Gallbladder Connection: Hormones, Menopause & Bile AcidsPart 3: Practical Strategies for Supporting Gallbladder Health Before and After SurgeryMusic provided by Blue Dot.

What if decluttering isn't about organization, but about removing barriers to healing? In this episode of the IRH Clinician's Corner, Margaret Floyd Barry is joined by Heather Aardema, founder of the School of Living Lighter, to delve into the often-overlooked but profoundly impactful connection between clutter and health. Together, Margaret Floyd Barry and Heather Ardema discuss why clutter is more than a matter of organization, it's a health issue that affects our nervous systems, our energy, and even our capacity to heal. They provide a new, compassionate definition of clutter as "anything that gets between where you are and where you want to be" and share practical strategies to address environmental and internal barriers to well-being. Inside this episode, we explore: Why clutter is more than a lifestyle issue—it can become a genuine health concern Heather's powerful journey through severe mold illness and what it taught her about healing A new definition of clutter: anything that gets between where you are and where you want to be How physical, mental, and emotional clutter all contribute to nervous system overload Why practitioners must honestly address environmental triggers before focusing on supplements and protocols How regulating the nervous system makes lasting decluttering—and healing—possible The Clinician's Corner is brought to you by the Institute of Restorative Health: https://instituteofrestorativehealth.com/ Connect with IRH: Upcoming Event: PCOS has a new official name: Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome.

What if the fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, or mysterious symptoms you've been chasing for years weren't caused by stress, aging, or burnout—but by a tick bite you never even noticed? Lyme disease is one of the most misunderstood illnesses in medicine. But Lyme is rarely just one infection—it's often part of a much bigger picture involving co-infections, immune dysfunction, inflammation, gut health, and environmental triggers. In today's episode, I walk through a functional medicine approach to Lyme disease and tick-borne illness, including: Why Lyme disease is so often missed—and the hidden role of co-infections like Babesia, Bartonella, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasma The limitations of conventional testing and treatment, and how functional medicine looks beyond the infection to understand why some people recover while others remain chronically ill The role of herbs, antibiotics, gut repair, detoxification, immune support, and mitochondrial health in a comprehensive recovery plan What the latest evidence says about emerging therapies like ozone, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and hyperthermia—as well as practical strategies to prevent tick-borne illness in the first place Lyme disease isn't always just an infection—it's often a whole-body disruption. By addressing the underlying drivers of inflammation, immune dysfunction, gut health, and cellular resilience alongside the infection itself, you give your body the best chance to heal and recover.

(2:00) Grocery store pricing appears to be an "egg collusion" going on behind the scenes. (4:30) The quality of eggs matters, in the long run; however, do what you can. (11:00) Anna reads a portion of the Wall Street Journal article describing it. (8:00) Anna and Eat Happy Kitchen are working to keep her products reasonably priced. (22:00) Trends from the Food Show. (30:00) "Functional" beats "conventional." There is a certain "premiumization" of products happening, like bone broth; Anna gives other examples. Adaptogens (like various mushrooms) have been getting a big push, too. (36:00) Seed oils have become a bipartisan political issue. (39:00) Non-UPF labels are coming as a new certification. (46:00) Red Vines is an example of ingredients that do not match the claims on the nutrition panel. How labels are designed makes a difference, too. The lie is next to the truth. Don't be fooled by all the "protein" additives. It's all a lie.

Do you organise your home based on what works best, or what looks best? The answer might explain why some spaces are easy to maintain while others never seem to stay organised.Discover the difference between functional organising and aesthetic organising. Instead of trying to copy someone else's organising style, learn how to identify what actually motivates you and helps your home function well. You'll most likely land on a combination of both functional and aesthetic organising which makes total sense.You'll hear practical examples from all around the house, including wardrobes, bathrooms, pantries, paperwork, pet supplies, charging stations and medications. You'll also see how small changes, like removing lids, choosing matching containers or leaving everyday items visible, can completely change how easy a space is to maintain.If you're someone who loves beautiful labels, matching containers and calm-looking spaces, you'll understand why those details matter. If you're more interested in quick, practical systems that are easy to use, you'll be reassured that function is just as valuable.Rather than choosing one style over the other, you'll be encouraged to find the balance that suits your personality, budget and lifestyle. Some areas of your home may benefit from prioritising function, while others are worth making visually appealing because they'll motivate you to stay organised.Take a fresh look around your home and ask yourself one simple question: does this space need to be functional, aesthetic, or a little bit of both?Newsletter sign up: https://www.theartofdecluttering.com.au/Leave a Google Review: https://g.page/r/CaTTEYtgIiQTEBI/reviewYou may also like to listen to these episodes:No More ContainersNeat vs TidyWatch on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/kuiOqcUGlx8Join my communityLeave a 5 Star Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio Hosted on Acast.

There's a difference between your chronological age and your biological age, and the gap comes down to lifestyle. In this episode, Dr. Barrett breaks down the real hallmarks of aging (chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, muscle loss, poor sleep, loneliness, and more), then walks through the top 10 daily habits that actually slow the aging process, from resistance training and step counts to protein intake, sleep, blood sugar control, relationships, and lifelong learning.

This episode kicks off our special summer series, where we're bringing back some of our most-loved previous episodes from The Soaring Child Podcast. We chose these episodes because they speak directly to what so many families are navigating this time of year: more screens, disrupted routines, travel, toxins, processed foods, picky eating, meltdowns, burnout, and the eventual transition back to school. We're starting with this episode on The Most Effective Natural Solutions for ADHD because it is the perfect starting point for parents who are just starting out and for those who have been on this road for a while. If you could only choose three things to focus on to reduce ADHD symptoms naturally, what would they be? Dana Kay, holistic health and nutrition practitioner, answered that question in this episode. If you're just starting out, she shared 3 beginner strategies. If you've been doing this for a while and feel like you've got a grasp on the beginner strategies, she shared some intermediate strategies. Finally, if you consider yourself an expert, she shared the top strategies for experts as well. These strategies are the pillars that can make a significant difference in the life of a child with ADHD. So, whether you're just starting out on the journey or you're looking to refine your approach, this episode is for you!

The food we consume plays a crucial role in how our bodies and brains function." "Supplements should never be considered the be-all and end-all for ADHD support. As I say often, you can't supplement your way out of a poor diet. BUT, in conjunction with dietary changes, supplements can be very beneficial." "Research shows that taking probiotics can help support that gut-brain connection. But, the problem with a lot of probiotics is that the strains don't survive digestion." "Functional lab tests can uncover underlying issues that might be contributing to ADHD symptoms, such as nutrient deficiencies, parasites, leaky gut, food sensitivities, mold, etc." "Our bodies are constantly exposed to toxins, and for children with ADHD, reducing this toxic burden is really important." "It is impossible to get rid of all toxins from your life, so that's why it's important to optimize detoxification." "Once you're in the thriving phase, it's important to reassess the supplements your child is taking. Maintenance supplements are about supporting ongoing health and preventing regression."

Leaky gut has become one of the most talked about topics in the wellness world, but how much of what you've heard is actually true? In this episode, Tara separates the science from the social media myths surrounding intestinal permeability (commonly called "leaky gut"). She explains why having some intestinal permeability is completely normal, who is actually at risk of developing excessive permeability, and why telling everyone they have a leaky gut can lead to unnecessary fear, supplements, and expense. You'll also learn what really damages the gut lining, why common tests like zonulin may not be giving you reliable answers, the gold-standard test used in research, and the evidence-based strategies that genuinely help support and repair the gut barrier. If you've ever been told you have leaky gut—or you've wondered whether you do—this episode will help you understand what the research actually says. In this episode: What "leaky gut" really is (and why everyone has some intestinal permeability) Why not everyone has leaky gut—even with autoimmune disease The biggest myths circulating online The lifestyle, medications and gut conditions that genuinely increase intestinal permeability Why zonulin testing isn't as reliable as many practitioners believe The gold-standard test for assessing intestinal permeability Evidence-based supplements that actually support the gut lining Why hormones, especially progesterone, play a bigger role than most people realise     Gut Relief Package Promotion What's Included:  2 deep-dive private 1:1 consultations with me personally.

Type 2 diabetes may be the diagnosis—but what if it is also a symptom of deeper problems affecting the body?In this episode of The Dr. Haley Show, Dr. Michael Haley speaks with Dr. Jade Guerra about the functional medicine approach to Type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's disease, autoimmune conditions, environmental toxins, nutrition, sleep, and chronic illness.Dr. Guerra is both a Doctor of Chiropractic and a Family Nurse Practitioner with nearly 35 years of experience. Instead of applying the same treatment plan to every patient, she investigates the individual metabolic, hormonal, digestive, environmental, and lifestyle factors that may be interfering with that person's health.She explains why a diagnosis often develops years—or even decades—before it is discovered and why simply controlling a laboratory number may not address the underlying cause.DR.

The sports drinks (and functional hydration market) is undergoing a massive structural shift, driven by corporate price wars, format innovations, and a literal beverage “real estate crisis” happening inside your local convenience store.In this market breakdown, I'll analyze the aggressive defense strategies of legacy CPG titans and the rapid rise of format-disrupting (and cross-category) insurgents. While early viral sensations like PRIME face historic post-hype cycle collapses, incumbent leader Gatorade (PepsiCo) has reversed its pricing strategy to aggressively capture volume growth, forcing Coca-Cola's BodyArmor and Powerade to defend higher price points.Also, I'll dive deeper into the operational and distribution mechanics behind the market's newest giants:How Electrolit leveraged a Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) partnership to cross $750M in annual salesHow Unilever's Liquid I.V. bypassed traditional bottling constraints to scale a $1B powder supplement empire.Why convenience store category managers are aggressively reallocating cooler real estate away from slow-moving sports drinks in favor of high-turn energy portfolios.Listen to understand why basic electrolyte replenishment is no longer a viable unique selling proposition (USP), and how occasion-based multi-functionality is rewriting the beverage playbook.MARKET ANALYSIS BRIEF: Are you seeing a permanent channel shift toward powdered stick packs in your local markets, or will ready-to-drink format innovations claw back the market share?

Welcome to The Daily. Partner with us in Project23. Grab your Hosea Scripture Journal. Our text today is Hosea 11:2-3: The more they were called, the more they went away; they kept sacrificing to the Baals and burning offerings to idols. Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk; I took them up by their arms, but they did not know that I healed them. — Hosea 11:2-3 One of the strangest things about human nature is how quickly we forget who carried us. "The more they were called, the more they went away." God kept pursuing His people, and they kept running. He called them, protected them, provided for them, healed them, and sustained them. Yet instead of turning toward Him, they credited someone—or something—else. People pray desperately when life falls apart. But when success comes, they quietly credit their effort, strategy, intelligence, discipline, or luck. We often explain away the hand of God because self-explanation feels easier than surrender. This is what I would call functional atheism. Functional atheism is when someone says they believe in God but lives as though everything ultimately depends on themselves. We work hard and forget who gave us the ability. We build something meaningful and forget who opened the door. We survive a painful season and forget who carried us through it. Sometimes we even resent the very moments God used to save us from ourselves. I have experienced that personally. Some of the seasons I disliked most—moments of frustration, limitation, discipline, redirection, or pain—were actually moments where God was protecting me. At the time, I wanted God to remove the challenge. Looking back, I can see He was carrying me through something I could not yet understand. That is the image in this verse. A father teaching his child to walk. Holding him under the arms. Steadying shaky steps. Or even a wounded son learning to walk again after injury, leaning fully on the strength of his father. And Hosea says, "They did not know that I healed them." That may be one of the most heartbreaking lines in the chapter. The Father was healing while they went on, ignoring him. We have all done this. We are constantly too distracted, self-focused, hurried, or emotionally numb to notice the quiet grace of God holding our lives together. Then, when life goes wrong, we blame Him. But when life goes right, we take the credit. Yet God keeps taking us up by our arms. That is the compassion of God. So maybe today is not just about gratitude. Maybe it is about surrender. Slow down long enough to notice where God has carried you. Look back at the closed doors, the painful seasons, the frustrations, the discipline, and even the losses. You may discover that God was protecting you far more than punishing you. And instead of taking credit for surviving, succeeding, or enduring, surrender the glory back to Him. Because the God who carried you this far is still carrying you right now. DO THIS: Take ten quiet minutes today and write down three moments where you now realize God was protecting, guiding, or carrying you—even when you did not understand it at the time. ASK THIS: Where have I taken credit for what God sustained? How have I practiced functional atheism in my daily life? What difficult season might God have used to protect me from myself? PRAY THIS: Father, forgive me for the times I ignored your care while taking credit for what you sustained. Open my eyes to your grace, teach me to trust your leading, and help me surrender fully to you today. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Come Jesus Come"

Long after acute infection has resolved, many survivors of severe COVID-19 experience persistent symptoms. Understanding the causes of long COVID and developing effective treatments pose a challenge for clinicians and researchers alike. In this episode of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Podcast, host Kyle B. Enfield, MD, speaks with Matthew Baldwin, MD, MS, about his article published in the March 2026 issue of Critical Care Explorations that examines post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 in acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) survivors over a three-year period. One of the study's most notable findings is that approximately one in four study patients, many of whom were middle-aged and previously healthy, continued to meet criteria for long COVID three years after infection. This finding emphasizes the burden of chronic illness caused by COVID-19 infection and the need to focus research and treatment efforts on this population of ALI/ARDS survivors. Drs. Baldwin and Enfield discuss the relevance of inflammatory, thromboinflammatory, and endothelial biomarkers in understanding illness due to COVID-19. Surprisingly, the study found no association between long COVID symptoms and these biomarkers. Dr. Baldwin contextualizes this finding and encourages future studies to employ multiomics to better uncover the underlying mechanisms of these symptoms. The discussion emphasizes the patient-centered approach of the study, which examines functional outcomes as well as biomarkers. Dr. Baldwin encourages clinicians to validate the experiences of severe COVID-19 survivors and guide them towards the next step in their recovery as researchers continue to look for better therapies.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Becca: Hi Dr. Cabral! My husband is challenged by a "cobalt conundrum". Several years back he was overexposed to wet cement, spending hours mixing it with his hands. (Big mistake) Shortly after he developed a severe body rash along with painful cramps and diarrhea. After many tests, they found an allergy to cobalt via a skin test, and we assume it relates to the cement mixing incident. Severely limiting cobalt both topically and in diet has helped, but he still struggles with GI issues. Functional medicine tests showed leaky gut. He attempted treatment but even one basic supplement (dairy free igg) caused severe stomach issues. Meanwhile he's missing vital nutrients from avoiding b12 (cobalt) etc. How can he address leaky gut and allergies when he's so sensitive to treatments? Signed, Your Fan       Ally: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a new Level 2 graduate and I have a new client who is 20-years old with a history of anorexia. she is 5-years post treatment. She complains of bloating, constipation, and just having trouble eating. She is of normal weight, and is looking for relief. I was thinking of doing the Big 3 labs and the CBO protocol.. Any recommendations would be very appreciated. I do not want to recommend the wrong plan of care for her. Warmest regards, Ally :)      Tommy: Hey Dr. C, I'm an IHP, 36. Had a birth defect, 3 operations by the age of 8 including tonsillectomy. Sleep issues began at 9, insomnia by 12, eczema, fainting, 14 years of steroid creams and thousands of antibiotics. I've got high heavy metals and Citrabacter freundi. I can't tolerate any protocols even at a lower dose, they make my existing problems worse. On days where I train intensely I struggle to shut off. I feel like my body is always stuck in a low level of stress. I've cut down my training a lot but I'm not sure what else I can do. I'm tolerating zinc Carnosine which helps but I still always have red skin on my face. Still struggle to tolerate stress. If only I could do a heavy metal protocol.       Sarah: Hi! Hope you are well and love tuning in daily to learn from you! I have been trying to heal leaky gut and chronic hives for over a decade now. Because I am very reactive I stop and start a lot. However, I recently gave in and started a low dose prednisone and over a couple weeks lost 10lbs of inflammation, hives gone, that I couldn't break with any diet (restriction), exercise etc. I would like to do some testing and do the CBO protocol as this started after antibiotics. My question is, will this skew the results of cortisol/A1C and will it be okay to continue on to keep symptoms calm while getting to the root and going through some protocols? Thanks! (BTW) I have tried all the natural stabilizers and didn't help calm symptoms. (Quercetin, Vit C, Mag, etc)       Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral, this is a follow up to my question on 3782 re testing for perimenopause please. Thank you for your guidance and if I could run EL labs I would. I have NO access to Saliva Testing in my country (and EL don't ship here). So I know about SMM & Fertility Labs but can't run them so I am *specifically* asking IF estrogen & progesterone tested by an endocrinologist (BLOOD) have ANY value as a way to look at levels? LH, FSH & AMH are great as I can get these from bloods, can you please provide the healthy ranges vs. perimenopause? Would really appreciate it as this is the only option I have to look deeper & PCP here don't have a functional approach so really value your guidance on anything you can share to help me support my body.

Are superfoods really "super," or is the term mostly marketing? In this episode, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Shelley Rael explores the differences between superfoods, functional foods, and nutraceuticals and explains why these terms are often misunderstood. Learn why foods like berries, salmon, oats, yogurt, nuts, coffee, and tea can all support health without needing a special label. This episode also discusses why no single food can offset an overall eating pattern, the role of supplements, and why focusing on nutrient-dense foods and variety is a more practical approach than chasing the latest nutrition trend.

It's easy to blame yourself when medications like Dupixent, Adbry, or Ebglyss don't work (or work well enough), your doctor says that you've “failed” it and it's time to move on to something else. Very often, no one is asking, "Why wasn't Dupixent able to work in the first place?" which could uncover important clues about your eczema case potentially lurking under the surface.Because YOU didn't fail the drug, and before moving on to something else, this is what you absolutely need to consider.Plus, we'll talk about a little-known warning in the safety information for Dupixent and other IL-13-blocking biologics specifically about parasites. So let's dive into what I've seen in clients prescribed these medications and why what looks like drug failure to their doctor could be an important root cause clue.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- See all the references

Why do so many people suffer from chronic symptoms despite being told their labs are "normal"? In this fascinating episode, we sit down with Dr. Olivia Lesslar, a physician specializing in psychoneuroimmunology and longevity medicine, to uncover why so-called "mystery illnesses" are often the result of multiple unresolved threats interacting throughout the body and brain. She explains how chronic pain, chronic fatigue, trauma, surgery, infections, and even deeply rooted psychological patterns can keep the nervous system locked in survival mode, making true healing a complex but achievable process. Dr. Lesslar also shares why creating a sense of safety within the body is one of the most powerful yet overlooked foundations for recovery. If you've been searching for answers to persistent health challenges, this episode offers a compassionate, science-backed perspective that will change the way you think about chronic disease and what it takes to heal.Dr. Olivia Ly Lesslar is an Australian medical doctor with an expertise in psychoneuroimmunology and longevity medicine.

For 32 years, Travis was a functional drinker who never got a DUI, never missed a day of work, and never fit the picture most people hold when they hear "drinking problem," but spent years hiding beers in the garage, lying to his wife about the count, and woke up after one Christmas morning knowing his kids had been worried Santa wasn't coming. He came to This Naked Mind thinking he might be able to moderate.
