In this  episode of the Healthcare Education Transformation Podcast, Dr. F. Scott Feil speaks with clinician, educator, and thought leader Dr. Mark Kargela about the limitations of traditional tissue-based physical therapy models and the rise of pain science-informed care. From his own educational journey and disillusionment with manual therapy to embracing ambiguity and patient-centered narratives, Dr. Kargela shares insights on how clinicians can better address the complex 10–20% of patients who don't respond to conventional care. The conversation dives into how physical therapists can use psychologically informed strategies, adopt wellness-based business models, and even leverage epigenetics and culturally aware care to improve long-term outcomes. If you're a PT, educator, or student, this episode is a masterclass in clinical growth, communication, and the future of healthcare delivery.

In this soul-stirring episode of The Women's Vibrancy Code, Maraya Brown sits down with Adam Jablin - bestselling author, life coach, and creator of The Hero Project for a raw, heartfelt conversation on sobriety, healing, and awakening the hero within. Adam shares how his own journey through addiction, divorce, and dismantling his family's multi-generational business led him to build a life rooted in service, recovery, and deep emotional honesty. Together, they explore how healing isn't a one-time event. It's a daily choice to go inward, tell the truth, and reconnect with purpose. In this powerful conversation, you'll hear: The real story behind Adam's sobriety and spiritual awakening How he went from people-pleasing and addiction to coaching high-level leaders Why loneliness is a spiritual wound, not a circumstantial one The truth about men, vulnerability, and emotional safety How the Hero's Journey mirrors recovery, reinvention, and rebirth Why helping others is the most powerful part of healing The surprising thing Adam wishes he had at age 16 and how he wants to give it to the next generation This is not your typical recovery story.

It’s time for a rebroadcast of a wonderful interview with my old friend, Dr. Casey Means, where she talked about the launch of her book, Good Energy. It has been a year since we talked on the eve of her book launch, which was just about to go number one and become a New York Times bestseller, and in other news, Dr. Casey has just been appointed to become the Surgeon General of the United States of America. Amazing news, a bit controversial these days since everything in politics is controversial, but long time listeners know that I steer completely clear of politics on this show, however I did want to give a plug for Dr. Casey and encourage you to listen to this interview if you didn't hear it the first time around, as she now rises to the highest position in America for doctors. In this episode, you will learn all about Dr. Casey Means’ book Good Energy: The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health, which she wrote with her brother, Calley Means, and hear her talk about the broken medical industrial complex—a subject that is of deep significance for her since (as she talked about in her first appearance on the show) she used to be a dutiful doctor, a highly trained throat surgeon who was just trying to do her best, until she realized how dysfunctional the whole system was. She had a realization: no one was really getting better. They were, however, coming in for more surgery, and this sparked her decision to pursue a career in the alternative health world instead, an issue that only became more important and personal to her after she experienced the deep pain and frustration of watching her mother die of a preventable disease. This is a great episode to listen to if you want to learn about all the nuances of our profit-driven medical system, the science and details of how mitochondrial function essentially represents the essence of our health, why mitochondrial dysfunction represents the whole cause of all disease, the scary statistic about Americans and metabolic syndrome risk factors that shocked me, and more! Casey Means, MD, Surgeon General of the United States of America, is a Stanford-trained physician, the Chief Medical Officer and Co-founder of metabolic health company Levels, and Associate Editor of the International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention. Her mission is to maximize human potential and reverse the epidemic of preventable chronic disease by empowering individuals with tech-enabled tools that can inform smart, personalized, and sustainable dietary and lifestyle choices. Check out her website and visit CaseyMeans.com/goodenergy to read her best-selling book, Good Energy. TIMESTAMPS: Sixty-eight percent of Americans are classified as metabolically unhealthy. [03:08] It's a totally unstainable path that we are on as a country. [09:04] After becoming a head and neck surgeon, Dr. Means realized that she was not improving people's health. She wanted to focus on prevention. [12:00] Cancer is a metabolic dysfunction. We are focusing on the wrong problem. [14:41] The health care industry is fast growing and it makes more money when you are sick than when you are well. [20:02] Everything in moderation is a very bad way to look at diet. [29:48] There is such a thing as bad food. [35:19] You need to understand your own body and read the signals your body sends to you. [36:23] We have normalized not feeling well, that we don't notice it. [41:55] When we eat processed foods, they are not benign. It's more than just calories. [46:53] The ingredients in the processed foods trigger your desire to overeat. The bigger the glucose spike, the bigger the crash [53:54] High fructose corn syrup is in so many foods and is very problematic. [58:39] There are five foods that you want to include to support your mitochondrial function. [01:01:36] In a few months, if you follow those suggestions, your markers on your blood tests will show a huge difference if you were pre-diabetic. [01:09:24] Why isn't the medical system focused more on prevention? [01:15:03] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com B.rad Whey Protein Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

Skin issues like acne, eczema, and rosacea are deeply connected to internal imbalances, especially those originating in the gut. It is important to explore diet—particularly sugar, refined carbs, and dairy—because it can drive inflammation, insulin resistance, and hormonal disruption, all of which contribute to poor skin health. Topical treatments and antibiotics may provide short-term relief, but they often disrupt the skin and gut microbiome, worsening conditions over time. A Functional Medicine approach focuses on restoring gut balance, identifying food sensitivities, and supporting detoxification pathways with nutrient-dense foods, supplements, and lifestyle practices. Addressing the root causes not only improves skin but also promotes systemic healing and resilience. In this episode, I speak with three of our doctors at The UltraWellness Center—Dr. Elizabeth Boham, Dr. Cindy Geyer, and Dr. Todd LePine—about why, when it comes to skin care, we need to look inside the body first. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women's Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. Dr. Cindy Geyer received her bachelor of science and her doctor of medicine degrees, with honors, from the Ohio State University. She completed residency in internal medicine at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, N.Y. and is triple board certified in internal medicine, integrative medicine and lifestyle medicine. Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, for 10 years. Dr. LePine's focus at The UltraWellness Center is to help his patients achieve optimal health and vitality by restoring the natural balance to both the mind and the body. His areas of interest include optimal aging, bio-detoxification, functional gastrointestinal health, systemic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and the neurobiology of mood and cognitive disorders. Dr. LePine enjoys skiing, kayaking, hiking, camping, and golfing in the beautiful Berkshires, and is a fitness enthusiast. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.

Today we're talking about one of my favorite tools in functional and regenerative medicine, peptides. It's also quite the buzzword these days, but in this episode we're going deeper to explore how you can best stack them for your desired outcomes. You can think of peptide stacks as powerful curated treatment plans (without all the side effects you want to avoid!). When I first heard of peptides, I was so intrigued that I couldn't wait to experiment with them. In fact, I ordered thousands of dollars worth. I recently put together my own stack for surgery and recovery preparation. But there are many different outcomes you can stack for, including reducing inflammation, gut healing, anti-aging and longevity, and more. Peptides are just chains of amino acids that naturally occur. One powerful peptide is BPC-157, which is incredible for healing and nerve regeneration. When injected close to the site of an injury, it can help with all types of tissue and ligament damage. Thymosin alpha 1 is one of the most exciting peptides for immune dysfunction. It helps the immune system differentiate between friend and foe.  Some peptides are better injected, but many can also be taken orally. GHK-copper can be used a few different ways, for instance, taken orally or used topically. It boosts collagen and reduces oxidative stress. Epitalon is associated with lowering all-cause mortality and is often used in anti-aging protocols. AOD9604 is a fragment of human growth hormone, and it promotes fat burning. One of my top peptides right now is MOTS-c, which supports insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial health, which is especially great for active people. The earlier you start using peptides, the more beneficial they can be for you in restoring and maintaining your beauty and health.   www.beautyculturespa.com @beautyculture.medspa

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, I sit down with Lynn Oberstein Feder, a passionate mother, baker, and wellness advocate whose lifelong health journey led her to profound transformation—both personally and professionally.Lynn shares her early struggles with chronic illness and the cascade of misdiagnoses and overuse of antibiotics that left her searching for answers. We talk about the toll of conventional medicine, the power of homeopathic remedies, and the critical importance of finding a provider who truly listens.Her journey to healing began with food—specifically, the gut-healing power of bone broth and a complete shift in her dietary habits.

Hair in the drain. A widening part. Thinning at the temples. You've tried the shampoo. The supplements. The serums. But nothing's working. What if the real reason your hair is falling out… has nothing to do with your hair at all? In today's episode of Autoimmune Simplified, we're pulling back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood symptoms of autoimmune conditions: hair loss. What's really causing it? Why are traditional solutions missing the mark?

We're covering: What autoimmune inflammation does to your hair cycle The misunderstood lab test that might hold the key to regrowth Why hormone shifts in perimenopause and menopause amplify shedding How your nervous system and stress hormones secretly drive hair loss Plus: What you need to know about that “normal” iron level (hint: it's not so normal).

A Functional Medicine Approach for the Best Menstrual Cycles You've Ever Had with Nicole Robinson, PharmD Today's episode dives into something that's frankly underestimated and not talked about enough: women's health. Not only are women underrepresented in clinical studies, but they're frequently told that their suffering is either “normal” or “all in their head.” Or they're prescribed a bunch of pharmaceuticals that haven't been extensively studied in their bodies, especially for long-term effects. My guest today believes that when women's health is optimized, they can GIVE 100% to their daily tasks and FIND MORE JOY in life. It's that simple. And women's health is intimately connected to their hormones, emotions, and their menstrual cycles. So let's stop making menstrual health a taboo subject, and make it a priority instead. Dr. Robinson always felt a calling to help others in the area of health and wellness. At the age of 9, she was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease that was put into remission using conventional medicine. She never forgot the kindness shown by her doctors and wanted to ‘pay it forward'. This passion for health took her to the medical field. She graduated with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from St. Louis College of Pharmacy in 2011 and began working for the U.S. Army as a pharmacist. Upon completing her time in the service, she began working for CVS pharmacy in 2017. In 2020, Dr. Robinson was introduced to the world of Functional Medicine. Within a few months, she achieved certification as a practitioner through Functional Medicine University, quit her job at CVS and branched out on her own. All this time, she recognized there were still some unresolved issues in her health. Using a holistic approach, she started doing the work, seeing results and helping others do the same. She currently owns a 1-on-1 practice where she inspires, educates and coaches women to the healthiest version of themselves.

What does it really mean to eat healthy? By now we're all pretty aware that: We NEED to eat healthy to maintain good health, and  Most offerings at fast food restaurants and grocery stores do not accomplish point #1! So, what does that leave us with? How do we manage healthy eating in a hectic lifestyle? Unfortunately, something has to give. And while we don't preach perfection, we do preach progress - daily choices that move you either towards, or away from your health goals.  That's exactly what the BrainStim gang discuss in today's episode, as a newly published study points to just HOW impactful processed food and the modern American diet are on our health.  If you have more questions about how to live a fulfilled, health life, we invite you to check out www.invisionchiropractic.com where you can find a wealth of information, as well as the option to schedule a 15 minute phone call with Dr. Richard Aplin.

Spring has officially sprung.   The birds are chirping, the plants are waking up, and the earth is on the move again. It's a beautiful time of year—and here in the Pacific Northwest, we welcome the lifting of the cold, the retreat of the rain, and the chance to head back outside to enjoy nature's splendor and get our gardens growing.   But spring's return comes at a high cost for many due to seasonal allergies.   If you're one of the millions of people who suffer from seasonal allergies, stepping outside can bring so much discomfort and suffering that it hardly seems worth it. You might choose to stay inside, avoiding the warm, sunny days simply because your allergies make being outside unbearable.   In this episode, we're diving into the dynamics of seasonal allergies. There's a lot to cover, so this will be a two-part series.   You may just be looking for remedies—and we'll get there—but first, we need some context. Understanding the "why" behind seasonal allergies provides a broader perspective on what's happening and how to identify the root cause.   In Part One, we'll explore the background and context of seasonal allergies, including: The contributing factors behind allergies and intolerance An esoteric perspective to complement physiological understanding The difference between allergies and intolerances What immunological load is—and how to remain asymptomatic   With this foundation in place, Part Two will cover the therapeutic strategy and approach.

Our healthcare system treats us like it's one size fits all, yet that's not how true healing works, especially when it comes to chronic conditions. Today's guest will help us understand how to fill the gap we experience with Western medicine, including the difference between signs vs. symptoms, and empowers our individualized healthcare. On this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck welcomes Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator Andrea Nakayama to explore why chronic conditions require more than just a diagnosis and a prescription. They unpack Andrea's “three roots, many branches” model, revealing how digestion, inflammation, and genetics lie at the heart of chronic illness—and how nurturing the "soil" around them can lead to true healing. From nutrition habits to the importance of bio-individuality, this conversation empowers you to become an informed partner in your health care.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE:(00:00) Intro: Our healthcare system is one size fits all(05:08) Andrea shares her motivation for her journey into functional nutrition, and a discussion of Western medicine(07:41) Should every person receive the same treatment for the same chronic condition(11:45) How to choose a guide in the health equation(16:40) Knowing the difference between your signs vs. symptoms(21:59) Andrea walks us through the “three roots and many branches” model(28:36) The roles digestion and inflammation play in our health(33:37) Tiers to nutrition mastery. Tier one is our non-negotiables(36:40) Don't neglect your passion and purpose(38:48) Andrea's non-negotiable trifecta: Sleep, poop, and blood sugarKEY TAKEAWAYS:Chronic health conditions must be understood through a systems-based lens, not just symptom management. Every chronic issue has three core roots—genes, digestion, and inflammation. Healing begins by nurturing these “roots” and the surrounding “soil,” rather than chasing individual symptoms alone. Western medicine excels in acute care but often falls short in managing chronic conditions. Patients are frequently seen through the lens of their diagnosis rather than as whole individuals, resulting in treatments that overlook their unique health histories and personal needs.One of the most powerful tools patients can use is specific, emotion-free communication based on personal health tracking. By clearly distinguishing between signs (measurable indicators like fever or rash) and symptoms (subjective experiences like fatigue or pain) and offering detailed timelines of when and how issues arise, patients empower providers to better understand and address their unique health needs.Supporting foundational health can start with three simple, non-negotiable nutrition habits: include fat, fiber, and protein at every meal or snack to help stabilize blood sugar; eat the rainbow to boost fiber and phytonutrient intake while feeding your microbiome; and know your yes-no-maybe list to understand better how specific foods impact your body. Tracking what makes you feel great, what doesn't, and what you're unsure about builds awareness and equips you to have more productive, personalized conversations with your healthcare provider.QUOTES:         (07:41) “The first two gaps I encountered were that people are treated like their diagnosis. So, when you are in the medical system, you are your endometriosis, your fibroids, your breast cancer, your PMS. You are your symptom. The other gap was that everybody with the same symptom or diagnosis was treated the same.” - Andrea Nakayama(09:34) “A chronic condition means you're sick and you're not getting better. There's things going on for a long time, and our medical system isn't trained to address chronic conditions.” Andrea Nakayama(25:32) “The three roots of any chronic condition are always our genes, digestion and inflammation.  All three need to be tended to for the branches to express themselves more fully.” - Andrea Nakayama(36:53) “We have an episode called the Longevity Equation, and one about Blue Zones and one of the big factors there that everybody seems to overlook is community and connection.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramNutrition Nugget: Genes and EpigeneticsSalad With a Side of Fries: The Longevity EquationSalad With a Side of Fries: Blue Zones: A Blueprint for Physical and Mental HealthSalad With a Side of Fries: The Down and DirtyGUEST RESOURCES:Andrea Nakayama - WebsiteFunctional Nutrition Alliance  - WebsiteAndrea Nakayama - InstagramFunctional Nutrition Alliance - YouTubeAndrea Nakayama - PinterestAndrea Nakayama, Functional Nutritionist & EducatorAndrea Nakayama - Functional Nutrition Alliance | LinkedInGUEST BIOGRAPHY:Andrea is a Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator who has led thousands of clients and teaches even more coaches and clinicians worldwide.
