Many people experience a deep, lingering fatigue that isn't fixed by a full night's sleep, and it often stems from real imbalances inside the body. When mitochondria—the tiny engines that power our cells—are stressed by poor diet, toxins, infections, or lack of rest, the whole system can slow down. Ongoing stress can also disrupt the adrenal system, leaving some people feeling wired and anxious while others feel drained from morning to night. The encouraging news is that steady habits like nourishing whole foods, balanced blood sugar, restorative sleep, and gentle movement can help the body find its rhythm again. With the right support, energy often returns, and a sense of hope does, too. In this episode, I dive into, along with Dr. Izabella Wentz and Dr. Elizabeth Boham, the real roots of chronic fatigue, showing how stress, lifestyle, and hidden imbalances drain our energy—and how practical, nourishing habits can help restore it. Izabella Wentz is an internationally acclaimed thyroid specialist and a licensed pharmacist who has dedicated her career to addressing the root causes of autoimmune thyroid disease after being diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in 2009. She is the author of three books on Hashimoto's: Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause, Hashimoto's Food Pharmacology, and Hashimoto's Protocol, which became a #1 New York Times bestseller. 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. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers. Head to bioptimizers.com/hyman and use code HYMAN to save 15%.

Episode Summary: This episode is powered by The 7 Figure Shift Workshop “Radical honesty is the bridge between the body you have and the life you crave.” – Maraya Brown Can we be honest?! There is an often-overlooked link between hormone balance and a woman's ability to lead, speak and be seen at scale. And because it's been overlooked, we are definitely not taking it into consideration as women leveraging & scaling business empires.  That stops TODAY. If you're scaling to seven figures while secretly ignoring the signs your body is whispering (or screaming), this episode is your wake-up call. Legacy-led leadership doesn't come from burnout; it's built from balance. In this intimate and disruptive conversation, Dr. Darnyelle sits down with Maraya Brown—Yale-trained CNM, women's health expert, and powerhouse CEO—to unpack the truth about what it really takes to sustain your brilliance without sacrificing your body. We're talking hormones, perimenopause, adrenal fatigue, libido, nervous system regulation, and the untold cost of hustling while hormonally depleted. You'll finally understand how your body, brain, and bank account are inextricably linked—and why optimizing your internal ecosystem is your next million-dollar move. Whether you're in the boardroom, the bedroom, or the bleeding edge of burnout, this is the episode that will change the way you do business—because if your health is on the back burner, so is your impact. This is your invitation to ditch the myth that scaling a business means sacrificing your body. If you've been running on caffeine, willpower, and survival mode, it's time to reclaim the vitality that fuels true overflow. Hit play to discover why the real ROI comes when your hormones, heart, and hustle are finally aligned. Here's the truth: A dysregulated nervous system, depleted hormones, and unresolved trauma will cap your capacity faster than any business bottleneck. Most seven-figure CEOs aren't underperforming—they're over-extended and under-resourced internally. Your strategy isn't broken—your system is screaming. Real overflow starts in your body. You'll walk away with a powerful framework to reconnect with your physical body as a portal to profit, new language for understanding what your burnout and libido are really trying to tell you and a reset button for how you show up in your business and your relationships. Get your Move to Millions Podcast notebook ready—you'll want to take notes on the lessons packed into this incredible conversation!  Listen in to discover: ✔ How to identify hormonal imbalances that are silently sabotaging your business success ✔ Why regulating your nervous system is the ultimate secret to scaling with sustainability ✔ 3 non-negotiables every 7-figure woman must prioritize to access overflow, pleasure, and profit ✔ And so much more This episode is a call to stop gaslighting your own body in the name of ambition. It's time to shift the paradigm: from success that depletes to success that sustains. In a market that glorifies hustle and downplays healing, this episode challenges the high-achieving woman to get radically honest about what she's carrying—physically, emotionally, and hormonally—and how it's affecting her ability to lead, love, and live fully. Maraya Brown delivers insights that will shift your physiology and your profitability. Powerful Quotes from The Episode: “Radical honesty is the bridge between the body you have and the life you crave.” – Maraya Brown “Your body doesn't lie—but you've learned to ignore her.” – Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “We cannot grow sustainably in our business if we're silently eroding in our body.” – Maraya Brown “Overflow is not just about money; it's about hormones, health, and harmony.” – Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “Most women think their exhaustion is normal; but it's not your normal, it's your nervous system in distress.” – Maraya Brown Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening: Where in my life am I pretending I feel fine when I'm actually depleted? What story am I telling myself about needing to “push through” that no longer serves me? How might honoring my body create more income than any launch or sales strategy? When was the last time I felt deep, sustainable energy and vitality? What would radically honest self-care actually look like in this season?

Ever find yourself grinding harder and harder in your business… yet still feeling like you're not scaling fast enough, earning enough, or leading at the level you know you're capable of? Ever wake up feeling fine… but deep down you know you could feel way better? Like you're operating at 70% and wondering what it would take to hit that full-bodied, clear-minded, energized 100% again? In this packed conversation of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I sit down with detox coach, speaker, and founder of The Detox Blueprint, Adam Parker. After years of battling mystery symptoms, burnout, hormone crashes, anxiety, and losing his sense of identity, Adam rebuilt his entire health from the inside out through one powerful approach — detoxification. Today, he's on a mission to help over a million people reclaim their energy, clarity, and vitality by understanding how toxins affect the modern body and how to safely let them go. His work blends science, nature, practicality, and deep mindset mastery (shoutout to Bob Proctor!) — and the guy is truly living proof that healing is possible.In this episode, we walk through Adam's raw journey from London corporate burnout to becoming a global leader in detox education, and he breaks down the daily disciplines, overlooked fundamentals, and simple tools anyone can start using to feel better fast. And trust me we go deep into things most “health hacks” never touch: bile flow, binders, parasites, mineral depletion, modern environmental toxins, meat stock, castor oil packs, and even the art of slowing down to cook as a form of meditation and healing.Here are some of the big takeaways you'll get from this episode:Your body doesn't just “break down” — it's reacting to an environment it wasn't designed for. Healing starts by creating space, not adding more stuff.Daily detox disciplines (like binders, minerals, sweating, and liver support) can radically change your energy, digestion, hormones, and mental clarity.Minerals are the spark plugs of your metabolism — and most people today are chronically deficient without knowing it.Digestive issues? Joint pain? Low energy? Sluggish bile flow and liver congestion are often the hidden root cause.Parasites, toxins, and heavy metals aren't the enemy — they're symptoms of a deeper terrain issue. Clean the terrain, and the body finally gets to do its job.You don't need a 30-day cleanse to start feeling better — small nature-based actions stacked daily will move the needle massively.Adam also shares his favorite gut-healing foods, the power of meat stock, why most modern foods make us inflamed, how your environment shapes your health, and why reconnecting with nature (hello, camping trips!) is more than a luxury — it's a human necessity.If you've been feeling “off,” fatigued, inflamed, puffy, anxious, or like you're only scratching the surface of your potential, this convo is your sign to tune in. Adam brings clarity, wisdom, and so many actionable gems that you'll walk away ready to optimize your energy and show up as your best self in business and in life.Listen to the full episode now and start happy hustling your way to optimal health.What does Happy Hustlin mean to you? Adam says Happy hustling is doing things you love, being in service and just creating good energy for all. know, there's so many opportunities in this world for win-wins.Connect with Adamhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/thedetoxblueprinthttps://www.instagram.com/idealdayadam/https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamparker-uk/Find Adam on this website: https://youridealday.com/Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featured Get a free copy of his new book, The Happy Hustle, 10 Alignments to Avoid Burnout & Achieve Blissful Balance https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Coursehttps://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventurehttps://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:If you're feeling stressed, not sleeping great, or your energy's been kinda meh lately—let me put you on to something that's been a total game-changer for me: Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers.

Have you ever reached a point where the answers you’re given simply stop feeling right? Where you realize that trusting your own instincts might be the only way forward. For Piper, that moment came in a doctor’s office when she was told her son just needed a spanking. Something inside her knew that wasn’t true. What followed was a full transformation born from love and determination. She went back to school, relearned what she thought she knew about health, and built a life that would help not only her son but hundreds of other families too. Along the way, she found her own healing in the process. This conversation is about listening to that quiet voice inside you. It’s about the courage to question what you’ve been told and the hope that grows when you refuse to give up. Take your time with this one. It is gentle and full of heart. What You’ll Hear A mother’s turning point after harmful medical advice How childhood trauma shaped a life built on self-reliance Discovering purpose in the middle of fear and uncertainty The surprising ways healing her son led to her own transformation The strength found in trusting intuition over authority How sharing one story can light the way for others Guest Bio Dr. Piper Gibson founded the Tic Disorder Institute: Regenerating Health and Elite Gene Labs, where she empowers families and healthcare professionals to address tic disorders and optimize wellness.

A lot of women in midlife are walking around feeling like they're broken. You've done the labs, seen the specialists, tried the supplements… and you're still exhausted, inflamed, and wondering if this is just your new normal. My guest today says absolutely not.Dr. Karyn Shanks is a physician, author, and pioneer in whole-person healing whose work sits at the intersection of cutting-edge science, trauma-informed care, and what she calls “soulful personal agency.” For over three decades, she's helped thousands of patients recover from chronic illness, burnout, and emotional disconnection—not by chasing symptoms, but by teaching them to listen to the intelligent messages their bodies are sending. Her new book, Unbroken: Reclaim Your Wholeness, challenges the old medical model that fragments us (mind over here, body over there) and reframes illness as a call to reconnect with ourselves rather than proof that something is wrong with us.In this conversation, we dig into what it really means to heal from the inside out—especially in midlife, when chronic stress, caregiving, perfectionism, and old narratives can keep us stuck in survival mode. Dr. Shanks breaks down the science of epigenetics and neuroplasticity in simple, hopeful language, shows how trauma and limiting stories shape our biology, and shares practical “micro-practices” anyone can use to begin moving toward wholeness today.We cover:Why “you are not broken” is more than a comforting phrase—it's biologyHow epigenetics and neuroplasticity give us real power to change our health storyThe hidden ways trauma and productivity culture keep midlife women sick and depletedSimple daily practices to check in with yourself, build intuition, and create safety in your own bodyHow to start advocating for yourself when you've felt dismissed or unheard in the medical systemIf you've ever felt unseen by your providers, stuck in a diagnosis, or disconnected from your own body, this episode will give you both a new lens—and a starting place—for true healing.You can find Dr. Karyn Shanks at https://www.karynshanksmd.com/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/karynshanksmd/Her book, Unbroken: Reclaim Your Wholeness, is now available wherever books are sold._________________________________________1:1 health and nutrition coaching or Faster Way - Reach me anytime at mailto:mfolanfasterway@gmail.com If you're doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, it may be time to look deeper.

Slow gaining, faltering growth, failure to thrive- all of these are babies that are not getting optimal growth and development during the crucial early years.  When you add in babies not stooling regularly and the effect of the microbiome, babies aren't doing so great.  In this episode Katie discusses how both weight and poop are common issues for babies and how these are areas we need both more research and more attention to.  Reference Links for studies mentioned: Stanford Study referenced Industrialized countries and infant gut microbiome studyHMO studyStrains in babies for digesting breastmilk Podcast Host: Katie Oshita, RN, BSN, IBCLC has over 25 years of experience working in Maternal-Infant Medicine.  While Katie sees clients locally in western WA, Katie is also a telehealth lactation consultant believing that clients anywhere in the world deserve the best care possible for their needs.  Being an expert on TOTs, Katie helps families everywhere navigate breastfeeding struggles, especially when related to tongue tie or low supply.  Katie is also passionate about finding the root cause of symptoms, using Functional Medicine practices to help client not just survive, but truly thrive.

Most people think high blood pressure is just about “bad pipes,” but it's really a whole–body problem driven by inflammation, insulin resistance, and years of eating sugary, processed foods. Hidden problems like sleep apnea, belly fat, toxins, and not getting enough key nutrients slowly damage your blood vessels and raise the risk of heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, and memory loss. Instead of simply pushing the numbers down with medication, the Functional Medicine approach looks for the real “why” behind high blood pressure in each person—food choices, sleep, stress, genetics, environment, and more. By rebuilding health with real food and targeted nutrients, better sleep, movement, and stress relief, many of these root causes can be reversed or improved. The message is clear: high blood pressure isn't destiny, and with the right changes, the body often has a powerful ability to heal. In this episode, I speak about, along with Dr. George Papanicolaou and Dr. Cindy Geyer, how high blood pressure is largely driven by inflammation and lifestyle factors, but with some foundational changes it can be reversed. Dr. George Papanicolaou is a graduate of the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Abington Memorial Hospital. Over time as the healthcare system made it harder for patients to receive personal care, Dr. Papanicolaou decided a change was needed. He began training in Functional Medicine through the Institute of Functional Medicine. In 2015, he established Cornerstone Personal Health—a practice dedicated entirely to Functional Medicine. In August 2017, Dr. Papanicolaou joined The UltraWellness Center. 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.

Send us a textWhen Lea Dombrowski began experiencing chronic fatigue, brain fog, gut issues, and eventually an autoimmune diagnosis at just 20 years old, she discovered a reality many women silently face: conventional medicine often treats symptoms, not the underlying cause.After years of appointments and prescriptions with no improvement, Lea took her healing into her own hands. Her deep dive into functional medicine and holistic nutrition revealed a life-changing truth—your symptoms are not enemies to silence, but messages your body is sending. By decoding those messages and addressing root causes, she reversed her autoimmune condition without medication and transformed her entire life.In this empowering conversation, Lea breaks down how gut health influences everything—from mood and skin to immunity and hormones. She explains how antibiotics and stress disrupt the microbiome, and shares clear, actionable steps for rebuilding gut health naturally through personalized nutrition, targeted supplements, and sustainable lifestyle shifts.One of her most powerful teachings is that true confidence isn't about perfection—it's built through daily self-love, keeping your promises to yourself, and choosing habits that support your long-term health. Lea offers simple, practical nutrition advice that anyone can begin today: prioritize whole foods, balance your meals with fat + fiber + carbs + protein, and make consistent choices that rebuild your body's resilience.If you're navigating unexplained symptoms, autoimmune struggles, weight challenges, or feel disconnected from your own body's wisdom, this episode will inspire hope, clarity, and the first steps toward healing from within.

What happens when even surgery and supplements can't get a broken bone to heal?When Dr. Ben Weitz fractured his femur and was told it might never heal, he turned to the same principles he's used with patients for decades: ‘root cause, functional medicine' thinking. In this conversation, he shares how he designed a bone-healing protocol that combined targeted nutrition, vitamin K2 and vitamin D optimization, growth factors, and the right kind of exercise stimulus. We also discuss why bone loss and osteoporosis aren't just ‘aging issues', how testing like trabecular bone scores can reveal what DEXA scans miss, and why many medications block bone repair instead of rebuilding it. The story offers a powerful look at how science, persistence, and patient intuition can work together to restore strength naturally.If you've ever worried about bone density, fractures, or slow healing, this episode will help you understand what your bones really need to rebuild safely and effectively.Episode Timeline: 00:00 – Episode Preview01:35 – Podcast Intro 02:45 – Dr. Weitz's Hip Fracture Story04:40 – Rehab and Early Supplements08:20 – Deciding Against Revision Surgery09:50 – Understanding Bone Cells11:45 – Using Forteo for Healing12:45 – Why Monitoring Bone Markers Matters13:50 – Adding Growth Hormone14:50 – Bone Stimulator Protocol15:27 – Effective Exercises for Bone16:40 – Ballistic Loading Benefits17:55 – Bone Density vs Bone Strength18:37 – Understanding Trabecular Bone Score19:40 – Why Positioning Affects DEXA21:10 – Reading Full DEXA Printouts23:22 – Men Rarely Get Bone Scans27:02 – Bone Stimulator Options29:20 – Risks of Bone Medications33:50 – Considering Osteoporosis Treatment34:03 – Medication vs Natural Approach36:55 – Vitamin D and Vitamin K39:55 – Calcium Myths Explained42:27 – Iodine Contrast Considerations45:49 – Where to Find Dr. Ben47:22 – Podcast Outro47:42 – Final Takeaways & Dr. Eric's Closing ThoughtsAbout Dr. Ben Weitz: Dr. Ben Weitz is a Certified Sports Chiropractor and Functional Medicine practitioner for more than 35 years and he has worked with professional sports teams.  He wrote a book in 1998, “The Back Relief Book”, and has published several papers on the prevention of injuries in weight training Free resources for your thyroid health Get your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.com High-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto' s Have you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?

In today's episode, I'm thrilled to have Dr. Jill Carnahan, a leading functional medicine consultant and survivor of cancer, Crohn's disease, and toxic mold illness.

This week on the Mind Movement Health podcast, Kate Boyle talks with Xeba Zareie founder of Preme, about her recovery from severe gut issues and the science behind her prebiotic, electrolyte and gut-repair products. They explain the difference between prebiotics and probiotics, the importance of FODMAP-friendly fibers, and why magnesium and trace minerals matter for digestion and mood. The episode offers practical steps to support gut health: increase plant diversity and fiber gradually, consider targeted supplements like magnesium glycinate and hyaluronic acid for gut repair, get tested if you bloat easily, and support detoxification with hydration, sweating and liver-supportive practices.   Connect with Xeba Zareie: When founder Xeba Zareie struggled with persistent gut illness, the usual solutions—antibiotics and store-bought probiotics—only made her worse. She finally found relief through Functional Medicine, using a low-FODMAP diet and targeted prebiotic fiber. But that experience revealed a larger problem: most people can't afford out-of-pocket Functional Medicine care, and most “gut-friendly” brands aren't actually IBS-friendly, often contain added probiotics, and frankly… taste bad. Determined to create both indulgence and alternative-medicine-level support for the growing number of people with gut issues, Xeba founded Preme—a premium gut-health brand offering noticeable, science-backed medicinal nutrition you actually crave. What began in her Dallas kitchen has grown into a targeted line of gut-focused staples: two prebiotic electrolyte drink mixes and an unflavored prebiotic fiber powder, all designed for even the most sensitive stomachs. Rooted in a lifelong healing journey and crafted with clinical insight, Preme brings body-and-soul support to everyday wellness. It's gut care that's tasty, approachable, and made with Functional Medicine-doctor-prescribed prebiotic fibers and premium ingredients. Because gut health shouldn't be a luxury, it should be trusted support, finally within reach.

Hey Friend, Have you ever cut out your favorite foods, tried the “next best diet,” and still ended up right back where you started… or worse? In this week's episode of Functional Medicine for Christian Women, I sat down with two of my favorite people to talk about the real reason so many Christian women feel like they are doing everything “right” in their health and still not seeing lasting results. You will hear from: Shaela Daugherty, host of the Simple Fitness Habits podcast Brittany Braswell, host of the Faith-Filled Food Freedom podcast Together, we talk honestly about: Why fad diets like keto, “no carbs,” or extreme clean eating can backfire on your hormones, metabolism, and stress levels How chronic dieting can push your body into “starvation mode,” raise cortisol, and make weight loss harder over time Why “I just need to be more disciplined” is not the real problem How diet culture feeds comparison, obsession, and shame instead of true freedom in Christ The difference between quick-fix results and long-term, sustainable health habits What it actually looks like to surrender your health to the Lord and start rebuilding trust with your body This was not a perfectly scripted conversation. We hit record on a real, unedited talk so you could listen in as if you were sitting at the table with us. You will hear stories from our own lives, from clients we have walked with, and some gentle but needed truth about where you are placing your trust when it comes to your body. And if you need a little fun in the middle of all this… stay to the very end. Shaela and I give Brittany a challenge that had all of us laughing, and I think it will give you a helpful picture of just how exhausting fad diet culture can be. In grace + health, Lacy Lain Before you go…

"What is homeopathy? I think a lot of people confuse it with home remedies. And it's not necessarily home remedies. It is, not garlic and using turmeric and herbs. Rather, it's its own subset of medicine. It's an energetic medicine. So everything is ultra diluted in homeopathy. So they do take a mother tincture, or a natural substance, and will dilute that to the point where it's only the energy left of that substance. So we are talking about only the energy, and the way that it works is these ultra dilutions are going to help us to heal the body.”  ~Lauren Briggs BSN, RN, HWNC-BC, HN-BCAh-Ha MomentsYou can redefine nursing on your own terms.

Milk has long been sold as the key to strong bones, but research challenges that claim: many people don't tolerate dairy, calcium needs are lower than advertised, and higher milk intake doesn't necessarily prevent fractures. Politics and industry marketing helped set “three glasses a day,” even though healthy bones depend more on overall diet and lifestyle—things like vitamin D, movement, and avoiding soda, excess sugar, and stress that drive calcium loss. Dairy may be helpful for some diets, but it can also trigger bloating, acne, congestion, or digestive issues. The good news is that strong bones and good nutrition are still very doable without cow's milk—think leafy greens, sardines, almonds, chia, and sunshine for vitamin D. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. David Ludwig and Dr. Elizabeth Boham why bone health depends more on diet, lifestyle, and nutrient balance than on dairy. David S. Ludwig, MD, PhD, is an endocrinologist and researcher at Boston Children's Hospital, Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, and Professor of Nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. He co-directs the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center and founded the Optimal Weight for Life (OWL) program, one of the nation's largest clinics for children with obesity. For over 25 years, Dr. Ludwig has studied how diet composition affects metabolism, body weight, and chronic disease risk, focusing on low glycemic index, low-carbohydrate, and ketogenic diets. Called an “obesity warrior” by Time Magazine, he has championed policy changes to improve the food environment. A Principal Investigator on numerous NIH and philanthropic grants, Dr. Ludwig has published over 200 scientific articles and three books for the public, including the #1 New York Times bestseller Always, Hungry? 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. This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers. Head to bioptimizers.com/hyman and use code HYMAN to save 15%.
