IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… you'll learn how Functional Medicine expert Jill Carnahan, M.D., who is board certified in Family Medicine and Integrative Holistic Medicine, survived breast cancer, Crohn's disease, and toxic mold. Her unique healing approach looks to science for answers while also using methods that outright challenge conventional medicine. During the discussion, Dr. Carnahan distinguishes between visible (e.g., cancer) and invisible (e.g., mold toxicity) illnesses. “There's this new term called medical gaslighting where doctors actually say, "Oh, everything looks great," right? And you're not. You're not okay inside,” she says. Her new book, “Unexpected: Finding Resilience through Functional Medicine, Science, and Faith,” explores “positive transformation against all odds.” She shares her own story of confronting life-altering illnesses, fighting for her health, and overcoming sickness using both science and faith. She also shares the experiences of her patients who transformed their health and their lives.Get ready to learn about a new path of empowerment where you can take control of your own health and well-being.Watch this episode on YouTube!Find all the links and resources in the show notes.Get Your Tickets! 9th Annual Biohacking Conference: https://biohackingconference.comDave Asprey's NEW Book! “Smarter Not Harder: The Biohacker's Guide to Getting the Body and Mind You Want.” https://daveasprey.com/books/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Athletic Greens, and BiOptimizers.For many of us, growing up we were told that eating foods high in fat is bad for you. Many people still believe that eating cholesterol and fat, especially saturated fat, causes heart attacks. Yet recent studies show there is no association between saturated fat consumption and adverse health outcomes like coronary disease or heart attacks. We also don't hear enough about insulin resistance as a main driver of cardiovascular disease. In today's episode, I talk with Nina Teicholz and Dr. Aseem Malhotra about the origins of the hypothesis that dietary fat raises cholesterol, subsequently increasing heart disease, and how it caught hold.Nina Teicholz is a science journalist and author of the New York Times bestseller The Big Fat Surprise, which upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat—especially saturated fat—and spurred a new conversation about whether these fats in fact cause heart disease. Nina is also the founder of the Nutrition Coalition, a nonprofit working to ensure that government nutrition policy is transparent and evidence based—work for which she's been asked to testify before the US Department of Agriculture and the Canadian Senate. Dr. Aseem Malhotra is an NHS-trained consultant, cardiologist, and visiting professor of evidence-based medicine at the Bahiana School of Medicine and Public Health in Salvador, Brazil. He is a founding member of Action on Sugar. In 2015, he became the youngest member to be appointed to the board of trustees of the UK health charity The King's Fund. He is a pioneer of the lifestyle medicine movement in the UK and in 2018 was ranked by software company Onalytica as the number one doctor in the world influencing obesity thinking.This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Athletic Greens, and BiOptimizers.Rupa Health is a place where Functional Medicine practitioners can access more than 2,000 specialty lab tests from over 35 labs like DUTCH, Vibrant America, Genova, and Great Plains.

Lyme disease can cause a range of symptoms, including fever, rash, joint pain, and fatigue, even arthritis, heart problems, and neurological issues. In the last two episodes, we spoke to Devon Dionne, Adrienne Nolan-Smith, and Robin Shirley who all used varying combinations of nutrition, detoxification, and alternative medicine to heal their Lyme disease. In this episode, you will hear Dr. Stephan Cabral give a listener advice on her Lyme disease. Then we chat with Aimee Valpone, who shares her harrowing story of overcoming Lyme and how changing her diet and learning how to detox saved her life when she was at death's door. Dr. Stephen Cabral is a board-certified Naturopath, Ayurvedic, Functional Medicine and Integrative Health Practitioner. He is the founder, creator and teacher of the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute. In today's episode Dr. Cabral answer's a listener question about Lyme, Sibo and the FODMAP diet. Then we will hear from Amie Valpone and her journey to heal. For years, Aimee suffered from various ailments, including Lyme disease and PCOS, and conventional medicine failed to provide a diagnosis. Doctors treated her symptoms with pill after pill, but nothing seemed to work. Even when she was lying in a hospital bed with morphine dripping into her arm, her HR department contacted her to say they thought she was bluffing, because she was blogging. This was the moment when Aimee decided that if she survived, she would dedicate her life to helping others. And that's exactly what she did. As Aimee began detoxing, many emotional issues surfaced, including the trauma from years of looking for someone to diagnose her, not being believed, and searching for answers. She started to detox her entire life, including holistic practices such as cranial sacral therapy and energy healing. Aimee shares her story on her blog to help others heal themselves. She guides them through health tests, including one that checks for the MTHFR gene, without which the body cannot properly detoxify. She emphasizes that high toxicity is one of the main reasons the body gets ill. This is where detoxing is incredibly powerful because it essentially gets the bad stuff out of your body. Eating organic foods helps the body cope with the bombardment of toxins. If you're interested in learning more about Aimee's journey and the power of detoxing, be sure to check out her book, Eating Clean: The 21-Day Plan to Detox, Fight Inflammation, and Reset Your Body.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Mitopure.Chronic stress has become epidemic in our society where faster is better and we attempt to pack more obligations into our ever-expanding schedules. In the face of chronic stress, insulin increases and your adrenal glands release hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones flood your system, raising your heart rate, increasing your blood pressure, making your blood more likely to clot, damaging your brain's memory center, increasing belly fat storage, and generally wreaking havoc on your body. So what steps can we take to manage stress?In today's episode of my series I'm calling Health Bites, I talk about how chronic stress creates hormonal havoc and how to use diet and lifestyle practices to reduce its negative effects.This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Mitopure.Rupa Health is a place where Functional Medicine practitioners can access more than 2,000 specialty lab tests from over 35 labs like DUTCH, Vibrant America, Genova, and Great Plains.

It drives inflammation, increases the risk of blood clots, changes your hormones and brain chemistry, and more. It's a recipe for disaster in the body.

In this episode, I discuss the immune system with Dr. Jaban Moore. Dr. Moore is a Doctor of Chiropractic and Functional Medicine practitioner. In this episode of the podcast, we discuss: What triggers autoimmunity Oral health and autoimmunity The impact of excessive cell stress Why autoimmunity and chronic illness are getting more prevalent What are the drivers of thyroid and other autoimmune disorders The importance of addressing nervous system dysregulation Patterns Dr. Jaban sees in a person with thyroid dysfunction The steps you need to take to reduce your symptoms? And more... Dr. Moore's passion for restoring health through a multi-therapeutic approach came from a young age when his mother was diagnosed with Diabetes after a 3-year struggle trying to figure out what was causing her health to decline. She was diagnosed only because she was in a car accident and in the ER she was told that she was diabetic. Her doctors noted that it was possibly missed for years. By this point she had gained 100 lbs, her cholesterol was out of control, she had ulcers in her stomach, depression, high blood pressure, and chronic fatigue. Growing up Dr. Moore watched his mother's condition progress adding new medications and symptoms by the year never curing or making her feel better for long just stabilizing one symptom until the next started. This eventually lead to thyroid cancer and 2 surgeries to remove the cancer. Through this experience, Dr. Moore found his mission to discover the root cause of a condition so that the progression can be stopped so the next person doesn't have to go through a story like hers. During chiropractic school when his own health journey began, he started to decline physically rapidly with no known cause at the age of 25. Over the next year, he searched for answers with many different doctors. He was experiencing, fatigue, joint pain, and low testosterone. After not finding many answers from several doctors he was at a conference of functional medicine doctors. It was there he met one who suggested the possibility of Lyme disease. After some testing and further investigation, Dr. Moore was found to be positive for Lyme. This began his journey of learning how to treat it. After consulting several doctors and trying many treatments Dr.Moore found relief and has been symptom-free for over 5 years now. Dr. Moore's professional and postdoctoral training includes True Cellular Healing, Chiropractic Plus Kinesiology, Applied Kinesiology, Clinical Kinesiology, Acupuncture, Bio-Resonance Therapy, Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT), Nutrition, Rehabilitation, Functional Medicine and Blood Laboratory Analysis.

Today we will discuss "leaky brain" with Shae Leonard. This is a term used to describe the malfunctioning of the blood-brain barrier, a protective barrier that separates the brain from circulating blood. The blood-brain barrier helps to regulate the flow of nutrients, hormones, and other substances in and out of the brain, while also preventing harmful substances from entering.  When the blood-brain barrier is compromised, it becomes "leaky" allowing harmful substances to enter the brain, which can lead to a variety of conditions.  We dive into: The science behind a leaky brain What symptoms you can experience with leaky brain Genetic variants that can make you more likely to experience symptoms of leaky brain If you are experiencing symptoms things you can do right not to turn things around Why medication is not necessarily the answer   Shae Leonard is a physician assistant who made the jump from psychiatry to functional medicine.  She is a certified functional medicine practitioner who focuses on mood issues, gut and hormone health.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Athletic Greens.It's no secret that being overweight or obese can increase your risk for numerous health problems, including stroke, some cancers, heart disease, and depression. What many people don't realize, however, is that we can suffer all these problems even if we're normal weight or underweight. Scientists have even coined a phrase for this phenomenon: “thin on the outside, fat on the inside,” or TOFI. Instead of being “overweight,” these people are “under-lean” (i.e., they don't have enough muscle) and have a little extra weight around the middle, or “belly fat.” TOFIs have the metabolic features of a prediabetic obese person: Low muscle mass, inflammation, high triglycerides, low good cholesterol, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure.In today's episode of my series I'm calling Health Bites, I am talking about “skinny fat,” why it can be worse than obesity, and how to address it. This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Athletic Greens.Rupa Health is a place where Functional Medicine practitioners can access more than 2,000 specialty lab tests from over 35 labs like DUTCH, Vibrant America, Genova, and Great Plains.

I know from quite a few of you giving me input and feedback on social media, or via emails, that you feel conventional medicine is reactive and disease oriented and that little focus is put on trying to find and heal the underlying cause of an issue.I personally feel that much of that disappointment is justified and at the same time I feel deep gratitude for having the option to seek and get medical treatment in case of say, an accident or a horrible infection. I have deep respect for the medical professionals who work hard every day, often at a high price to their own physical and mental health, to help others.I do believe it is our system that needs an overhaul and I also believe that an ideal medical system integrates the approach of holistic medicine and what we call conventional medicine. Preventing disease and supporting optimal health in the first place and addressing health issues as needed with targeted medical interventions.Our guest today, Dr. Brooke Stuart is a holistic doctor in private practice, where she specializes in taking a holistic approach to mental health, physical health and high performance through a combination of holistic counseling and functional medicine. She is also the founder and president of Let Go & Grow International.According to the Institute for Functional Medicine, “Functional Medicine is a personalized, systems-oriented model that empowers patients and practitioners to achieve the highest expression of health by working in collaboration to address the underlying causes of disease.”Functional medicine uses the best of ancient practices and modern modalities and doctors, amongst other, recommend supplements, cutting edge technological devices and tests, as well as mindset techniques, diet, and lifestyle changes. Based on this, Dr. Brooke develops a personalized treatment plan for each patient. She also collaborates with conventional doctors regarding certain medications or tests when necessary. For Dr. Brooke, functional medicine is not in competition with other types of medicine. In this episode she will give us an overview of her practice and most successful approaches to healing the whole human.In this episode with Dr. Brooke, you'll discover:-What exactly is functional medicine?...04:15-Why we're conditioned to repress our "authentic self" and how to begin resetting this energetic balance...11:15-"Fake it til you make it" is a real phenomenon!...16:45-The pillars of resetting the mind and body in Dr. Brooke's practice...19:30-What is andropause and how men's hormones change as they age...26:44-What happens physiologically, specifically for females, when Vitamin C is injected into the body...33:20-Why you should let go of what's not working vs. trying yet another diet, protocol, etc. to cure your ills...37:00-How our perception of our food changes its effects on our body and health...42:30-How to invite empowering thought patterns regarding your food, environment, etc...47:30-A personal practice that elevates Dr. Brooke's life...51:10-And much more....Resources mentioned: Dr. Brooke's websiteLet Go & GrowBooks written by Dr. BrookeThe Biology of Belief by Dr. Bruce LiptonConnect with the guest:"The heart based practice is something that I'm in a unique position to appreciate where we're talking to these amazing people.

In today's episode, Dr. Jade welcomes Dr. Julie Foucher. They discuss the many benefits of functional medicine, the differences between conventional medicine and functional medicine, and what people can expect by treating symptoms with this modern and more integrative approach. Dr. Julie explains that functional medicine aims for restoring balance in the body by addressing the root cause of the symptoms. This approach and the treatment are based on lifestyle changes. The diagnosis itself is also based on asking the patients more about their daily lives. Dr. Julie also talks about nutrition (and how it is a key aspect when it comes to changing body composition), supplements, and the importance of a healthy diet. Tips for weight loss, for example, include resistance training, protein intake, and tracking macronutrients. Tune in! Check out the Next Level Human sponsors!

My great friend. My doctor. My co-host here on the Functional Friday episodes. Randy James. Medical Doctor and Functional Medicine expert. For the first years of knowing each other I pestered him with what the core pillars of health were and he'd always push back with the answer that…”It depends! What is core for one person may not be for another. It's very personal to each person's makeup and pathology.” So in this episode, I tried to hit him up again, but this time, I succeeded. I posed the question of what aspect of health is #1. I really expected some lively discourse. Instead, we actually came into an answer. At face value it's an unfair question, which is why I wanted to spar with Randy on it, as again the entire point of Functional Medicine and our show is how individualized and unique our personal health is and there is no one size fits all solution. So to ask what aspect of health is number one is not a fair question. But as we talked about the concept of, “If you can only pick one area of health, which is most important?” we found ourselves coming to an actual agreement and bit of a revelation. To be candid, we recorded this show about a year ago and since then it's forever altered my outlook on my health and wellness and some specific routines. I'll give you the answer. It is…sleep. Your recovery. But I implore you to listen in and find out why, as if I had simply been told this without the grappling behind it, I don't think I would have accepted it to the level I have.

Dr Magan is a serious doctor who understands the limitations of his profession, and the need to balance the science of medicine and the art of medicine. Understanding that medicine should be about making an individual functionable in their day-to-day life, he wants to expand the myopic lens of standard medicine and encourage people to make things simpler and look for environmental changes before popping a pill.Dr Alkesh Magan is a healthcare practitioner specialising as an endocrinologist for a decade in Bryanston, Sandton, South Africa.Join us as we explore:Everything you need to know about vitamin D, optimal levels, if you can take too much, what to do with the kids and how Africa is on the cusp of a convergence of vitamin d deficiency, obesity and diabetes.Why the concept that the absence of disease is health is NOT correct and needs to be revised as we are seeing a world increasingly overwhelmed with disease and illness.The danger of excess information and medical testing, the power of the placebo, how there is a price to pay for every pharmaceutical you take and why it's critical to safe guard against orthorexia.Why it is clear that the excess amount and types of diseases that have exploded in the past 80 years is a consequence of our environments and lifestyles aka epigenetics NOT genetics!Precocious puberty, xenoestrogens and why the goal has to be to avoid and limit exposure to environmental hormonal toxins.Holistic advice on supplements for both adults and children, why absorbing vitamins is not the same as activating and methylating, the critical importance of dosage and why it is not always the best first step to start taking supplements.The absolute necessity of health coaches in this environmentally challenging world and why we have to also leverage the power of health technology like CGM.Mentions:Person - Michael Holick, Vitamin DPodcast – Dr Steven Gundry, https://youtu.be/ovbUGAn5OMcSupport the showSUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON:As much as we love doing it, there are costs involved and any contribution will allow us to keep going and keep finding the best guests in the world to share their health expertise with you.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, InsideTracker, and Mitopure.There is no other activity you do every day that has more power to change your biology than what you eat. Food carries information molecules, instructions, and code that programs your biology with every bite for better or worse. Food is more than just calories; it is information that controls every aspect of your health. Unfortunately, the Standard American Diet (SAD) comprises over 60 percent ultra-processed food mostly from commodity crops—wheat, corn, and soy—turned into hundreds of thousands of food-like products that bear little resemblance to our evolutionary diet. In this episode, I explore how to use food as our greatest ally for achieving an optimal state of health and healing from states of disease. I discuss what to eat to support every system in the body, what foods you should avoid, why the quality of what you eat matters, and more.This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, InsideTracker, and Mitopure.Rupa Health is a place where Functional Medicine practitioners can access more than 2,000 specialty lab tests from over 35 labs like DUTCH, Vibrant America, Genova, and Great Plains.

In this episode of Chasing the Insights, I talk to author and self-care coach Susan Birch. Susan talks to us about the importance of self-care for personal and professional success as an entrepreneur. Susan Birch is a contributing author to the Amazon number 1 bestseller, #My Voice, volume 5. This book shares inspiring stories of hope, courage and fearlessness. Susan shares her story of the challenges she faced in her early life and the self-destructive behaviours that followed. As she worked through these experiences, she became fascinated with the human body. She experienced first-hand how changing her beliefs, improving the quality of her food, and regular exercise helped her restore her emotional and physical health and vitality. Now she helps others experience the transition from overweight and overwhelmed to healthy and thriving in her Functional Medicine and Self-Care Coaching practice. She helps people lose weight and prioritise their mental and physical health, so they can experience greater personal and professional success and live meaningful lives. “If we expect our bodies to last a lifetime, they deserve to be treated well. But first, we need to know what treating them well really means,” she says. Susan has a family history of type two diabetes, heart disease and the genes for Alzheimer's Disease. She became fascinated in how to use nutrition, exercise and lifestyle to mitigate her risk. She began sharing this knowledge and her clients nicknamed her the Health Detective, because she focuses on finding the root cause of her clients' health problems and working with them to find solutions.

“Blood sugar is like comparing water to Kool-Aid – while water flows through our body, Kool-Aid can't flow as well because it's stickier. When we have too much sugar in our bloodstream, our body has a harder time carrying out the processes it needs to.” - Dr. Georgia Nab   About 1 in 5 people in the United States have diabetes but don't know it, according to the CDC. While people generally know sugar isn't good for the body, most people don't know why our consumption of it needs to be managed – not eliminated. In today's show, Dr. Michelle Robin invites Dr. Georgia Nab – a Functional Medicine doctor at Your Wellness Connection – to help people understand what's really happening in the body once we consume sugar and why it's then converted to blood sugar. If you have ever wondered what glycemic and glucose mean – or the difference between metabolic syndrome (prediabetes), Type I, Type I.5, Type II, and Type III – this week's episode will give you a clearer understanding of each one in very simple terms. Dr. Nab even dives into how our blood sugar numbers have a tremendous impact on our hormonal levels and anxiety issues in today's world. She encourages listeners that small changes can make a big difference. At the end of the episode, Dr. Nab will also share why sleep and movement matter in managing your blood sugar – ending with some tips that can help you get on a better path toward wellness.
