In the episode of Ageless Future, we discuss groundbreaking exploration of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) led by Drs. Jason Klop and Shaina Cahill from Novel Biome. They detailed how FMT is revolutionizing treatment for chronic, treatment-resistant conditions—ranging from GI disorders to neurological and autoimmune diseases—by restoring gut microbiome diversity. The discussion covered rigorous donor screening protocols, the three-phase treatment process (pretreatment, loading dose, maintenance), and why FMT outperforms probiotics. Real-world case studies showed improvements in digestion, cognition, sleep, and immune balance, with continued benefits months after treatment. The session also tackled treatment logistics, safety concerns, microbiome testing, and protocols for maintaining long-term success through diet and lifestyle. The collaborative concluded with strong enthusiasm for education, ethical sourcing, and integrating FMT into functional practices. www.agelessfuture.com

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ben Weitz, a chiropractor with nearly four decades of experience and a deep-rooted passion for functional medicine. After suffering a serious bone injury on Halloween 2023, Dr. Weitz turned his own recovery into a masterclass in functional healing—skipping surgery and injections in favor of peptides, targeted supplementation, and upstream thinking. This isn't theory—it's application. We unpack what worked, what didn't, and why root-cause resolution still matters most. We dive into key healing tools like Forteo, collagen, and vitamin D3 + K2, while also covering deeper concepts like mTOR, longevity science, and why chiropractors often lead the way in integrative care. It's a powerful reminder that movement dysfunction, not just aging, is the true driver of poor health—and that healing starts when you treat the system, not just the symptom.

Integration in Medicine: The conversation highlights the importance of integrating functional medicine with conventional treatment strategies for optimal health outcomes.

Importance of Quality Nutrition: Dr. Weitz emphasizes the necessity of clean, quality supplements and a balanced diet rich in colorful vegetables, quality protein, and healthy fats. Exercise as a Health Pillar: The episode stresses the vital role of regular physical activity, particularly resistance training, for maintaining bone density and overall longevity.

On today's episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I'm joined by Jillian Greaves @jilliangreavesrd, a functional medicine dietitian and women's health expert, to unpack the complex but often overlooked, relationship between blood sugar balance, hormonal birth control, and fertility. Jillian shares her personal health journey from battling persistent symptoms like acne, bloating, anxiety, and hair loss to uncovering the deeper root causes through functional medicine. We dive into how hormonal birth control impacts your hormones, gut, liver, and micronutrient status, and why so many women feel worse when coming off the pill. Jillian also breaks down why managing blood sugar is essential not only for hormone balance but also for egg quality, ovulation, and creating safety in the body. Whether you're navigating post-birth control symptoms, thinking about conception, or simply curious about how nutrition and nervous system regulation influence your cycle, this episode is packed with insights that will leave you feeling empowered and informed. Key Takeaways: Hormonal birth control suppresses your natural hormone cycle and can lead to long-term nutrient depletion, gut imbalance, and inflammation. Coming off the pill is often a bumpy process that requires patience, support, and targeted care. Balanced blood sugar is the foundation of hormonal health and fertility—swings in either direction can create stress signals in the body. Fasting and trendy diets like intermittent fasting may backfire for women, especially those trying to conceive. Nutrition is powerful, but blood sugar regulation also depends on stress management, sleep, and circadian rhythm alignment. Guest Bio: Jillian Greaves @jilliangreavesrd is a functional medicine dietitian and women's health expert who helps women address the root causes of hormonal imbalances, period problems, and fertility challenges. After facing years of frustrating symptoms and inadequate answers from conventional care, Jillian turned to functional medicine to heal her own body and now supports others through a personalized, evidence-based approach. She offers private coaching, advanced lab testing, and practical guidance to help women feel empowered in their health journeys.

After 38 years as a primary care physician, Dr. Gary Sprouse noticed his stressed patients all knew they wanted less stress, but couldn't tell him where they wanted to be instead. This led him to develop his revolutionary "happy place" framework that's helping people transform their relationship with worry and anxiety. In this week's episode I dive deep into Gary's unique approach: why our greatest human skills create stress as side effects, the universal architecture of happiness, and his game-changing "shoebox method" for managing overwhelm. Gary gives us practical tools to transform worry into planning and build resilience in our anxiety-inducing modern world. As someone working with autoimmune conditions, I see how chronic stress impacts healing and how powerful it is when people learn to build their happy place.For the complete show notes, links and transcripts visit: inspiredliving.show/203

Episode SummaryIn this powerful, emotionally resonant episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, host Chris Schembra sits down with one of the world's most respected thought leaders on human-centered performance: Ryan Estis.Ryan isn't just a keynote speaker or former Fortune 500 Chief Revenue Officer. He's a guide for leaders navigating complexity, a man who's lived the tension between growth and burnout, performance and peace, ambition and alignment. Through stories both deeply personal and professionally profound, Ryan takes us behind the curtain of a life built on momentum through harmony—and how choosing wellness, wisdom, and worth have shaped his impact. From founding ImpactEleven (which achieved a 500% growth rate, 1300% increase in shareholder value, and 90% client retention in just two years), to standing ovations across global stages, Ryan's track record is undeniable. But what makes this episode different is what's unsaid—the inner work of reclaiming health, reconnecting to truth, and redefining success not by how far we go, but by how deeply we live. Together, Chris and Ryan explore: the meaning of legacy and how wisdom passed down from a father becomes a compass,the role of weak ties and long-held partnerships like Lynn in a world obsessed with speed,the power of surrender and how BDSM culture taught Chris to drop into presence and care,and the hard-earned truth that we must unlearn external validation to live our truth.This episode is part mentorship session, part love letter to resilience, and part rallying cry for those who feel like they're achieving outwardly, yet quietly burning out inside.10 Memorable Quotes“Success without fulfillment and feeling good is failure.” – Ryan Estis“You have to borrow someone else's belief in you until your own catches up.” –Ryan Estis“Don't wreck the product. You're the product.” – Ryan Estis“Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical.” – Words of Wisdom from Ryan's father“To connect in service, you must first live from your center.” – Ryan Estis“Gratitude isn't just for the good times. It's best practiced through the hard times.”– Chris Schembra“The world will define you—if you let it.” – Ryan Estis“Every person has the wisdom they need. It was put there for them.” – Ryan Estis“Live your truth. It's the kindest thing you can do for yourself—and for others.” – Ryan Estis“You're not the first person with a message on their heart who's blown the moment.” – Adam “Smiley” Poswolsky, as quoted by Chris10 Key Takeaways1. The Journey Isn't Linear—But It's Worth It.Chris's lowest speaking moment led him directly to Ryan, proof that our darkest hours often plant the seeds of the brightest chapters.2. Don't Just Grow Fast. Grow From Your Center.Ryan's success wasn't a straight hustle; it required slowing down, getting healthy, and aligning with values like momentum through harmony.3. Your Legacy May Live in a Wooden Box.A literal box of quotes from Ryan's dad revealed the timeless wisdom that now shapes how he leads, speaks, and lives. These quotes became mantras.4. The Quiet People Beside You Are Often the Most Powerful.Ryan's long-standing partnership with Lynn, his business manager since his first job out of college, is a testament to loyalty, presence, and consistency.5. Define Success On Your Terms—Then Redefine It Again.Whether it's writing a book with his brother or shifting his health trajectory, Ryan models how to evolve your definition of winning.6. Unlearning Is Just As Important As Learning.Ryan had to unlearn the compulsion to respond to every piece of feedback and external pressure. His current work is about choosing inner authority.7. Your Best Work Comes From Alignment.From Ryan's gesture of heart → head → hands, we learn that when your beliefs, mindset, and actions align, magic happens.8. Weak Ties Are Stronger Than You Think.Inspired by Granovetter's 1973 study, the episode celebrates the strength of those people we see occasionally but who shape us profoundly.9. There's Power in Personal Rituals.Whether it's opening the wisdom box or walking back through difficult memories, grounding rituals help us stay human in a fast-paced world.10. Human Be-ing > Human Doing.Ryan and Chris both remind us: Your presence is your power. Stop outsourcing your identity. Show up fully. Live from your center. Links & ResourcesPrepare for Impact by Ryan EstisLearn More About ImpactElevenBarbara Fredrickson's Broaden-and-Build Theory of Positive EmotionMark Granovetter's Study: The Strength of Weak TiesMore on Functional Medicine

#166  - Beyond Functional Medicine: Why Most Health Experts Can't Help Complex Chronic Illnesses with Mel Hopper Koppelman   What if your chronic complex health issues aren't about needing more supplements or a new practitioner… but from a nervous system that's been stuck in survival mode since childhood? In this episode of Pretty Well, I'm joined by Mel Hopper Koppelman—an expert in neurological healing who's helping patients finally get better after functional medicine has failed.  We talk about the overlooked role of retained primitive reflexes, how childhood stress rewires adult health, and why your gut might still be leaky decades later (hint: it started long before gluten showed up). Mel breaks down why some people never fully heal from chronic fatigue, autoimmunity, mold toxicity, and even trauma—and what to do about it. You'll learn about the Cell Danger Response, what it means to truly “regulate your nervous system,” and why green smoothies might not be doing you any favors. Mel also unpacks in detail the 4 Stage Process of Recovering from Complex Chronic Health Issues.  If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things and still not getting better, this episode might flip everything you thought you knew about healing.   Connect with Mel: Website https://essays.synthesishealth.co/mel-hopper-koppelman/ Social https://www.instagram.com/synthesishealth.co/  https://www.facebook.com/melkoppelmanacupuncture    Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!

In this episode of Perimenopause Simplified, Claudia is joined by Dr. Ana Duarte, a medical doctor, expert in anti-aging and longevity medicine, and CSO of Eusari Nutrition. After 15+ years in pharmaceutical research, Ana hit her own perimenopause wall: burnt out, disconnected, and completely unprepared for the changes in her early 40s. That experience led her to pursue advanced training in women's health and longevity – and to discover just how overlooked midlife women are. No roadmap. No conversation. Just silence, shame, and guesswork. So she founded Eusari, a science-backed wellness brand built by and for women in perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Ana blends cutting-edge medical science with deep empathy, helping women feel like themselves again. She's also a speaker, writer, and passionate advocate for real, effective solutions to support women's health and vitality in midlife and beyond.

In this episode of the Health Accelerator Community (HAC) through Ageless Future, Regan Archibald explores the root causes of brain fog and cognitive decline, highlighting how chronic stress, poor sleep, and neuroinflammation can impair brain function. He explains the role of the hippocampus in memory and how changes in brain structure, particularly due to aging or conditions like Alzheimer's, can be detected early through symptoms such as forgetfulness, social withdrawal, and diminished focus. Regan discusses how environmental toxins, allergies, and lifestyle stressors disrupt neuroplasticity and outlines the EPIC framework—Emotions, Pain, Infections, Chemicals—as key inflammatory triggers. He introduces actionable strategies to restore brain health, including diagnostic testing, optimizing sleep, exercise, cortisol regulation, targeted nutrients, and innovative peptide and regenerative therapies like cerebrallysin, CMAX, and umbilical cord plasma. Listeners are encouraged to monitor their cognitive clarity over 30 days using wearables and journaling, with an invitation to explore deeper evaluation and support through upcoming retreats and personalized protocols. www.agelessfuture.com

Visit the Sex With Emily Website: https://sexwithemily.com/ In this illuminating episode of Sex with Emily, Dr. Emily Morse sits down with Dr. Will Cole, a leader in functional medicine and author of Gut Feelings, to explore how emotional and physical health are deeply connected, and how addressing both is essential for a thriving sex life, better relationships, and holistic well-being. Dr. Cole explains the "shameflammation connection"; how repressed emotions like shame, guilt, and stress can cause chronic inflammation, impacting libido, energy, and connection. He breaks down this mind-body cycle where emotional stress manifests as physical illness and offers somatic tools for healing, emphasizing that nervous system regulation is crucial to breaking this loop through breathwork, stillness, and rituals that bring people back into their bodies. We dive deep into the gut-brain connection and its major role in mood, hormone balance, and sexual health. Dr. Cole reveals how processed foods, sugar, and unresolved trauma can hijack desire and performance, while discussing silent inflammation and hormone imbalances that often show up as low libido, fatigue, or anxiety. He uses advanced lab testing to find hidden causes when patients say "I don't feel like myself." The conversation addresses shame around pleasure and sexual identity, highlighting how culture often teaches us to suppress pleasure or disconnect from desire. Both Emily and Dr. Cole agree that reclaiming sensuality starts with removing shame and practicing compassionate self-awareness.

No thanks!” But here's the deal—organs like liver, heart, and kidney are incredibly nutrient-dense and were staples in ancestral diets for good reason. The problem? Most of us in the modern Western world have lost touch with them—and are missing out on nature's original multivitamin.James shares why organ meats were so important to human evolution, how we've gotten away from eating nose-to-tail, and (my favorite part!) super simple ways to get them into your meals without the taste or texture battles. ✨ Yes, even your picky kids can enjoy them—my own kids love Pluck on popcorn and salad, and they have no idea what's in it!James Barry is a professional chef with 20+ years of experience, including cooking for celebrities. He's the founder of Pluck, an organ-based superfood seasoning that helps people enjoy the benefits of organ meats without the fuss.

In this empowering, fascinating, and fun episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz is joined by internationally respected hormone expert, best-selling author, and educator Dr. Lindsey Berkson. With over four decades of experience in clinical practice, hormone research, and medical education, Dr. Berkson brings unmatched depth to the conversation about one of today's most pressing and misunderstood health issues: hormone disruption.   Together, they unpack how declining hormones—especially estrogen, testosterone, and oxytocin—are impacting intimacy, energy, fertility, and long-term health. Drawing from her background as a Distinguished Hormone Scholar at the Center for Bioenvironmental Research at Tulane/Xavier Universities, Dr. Berkson explains why libido is not just about desire—it's a vital sign of overall health.   She also shares her personal journey as a DES-exposed daughter, cancer survivor, and thought leader in functional endocrinology, giving the episode rare perspective and actionable clarity.   Tune in, take notes, and begin rebuilding the biochemical foundation of your vitality.   Some of What You'll Learn in This Episode:   How endocrine disruptors like plastics, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals interfere with hormone signaling The global rise in Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) and its role in locked-up hormones and low libido Why loss of oxytocin is contributing to anxiety, disconnection, and immune decline The impact of elevated SHBG, cytokines, and inflammation on fertility, mood, and aging The link between hormone disruption and early-onset estrogen-driven cancers How safe, bioidentical hormone therapy differs from conventional approaches—and why it matters Why “loss of libido” should be treated as a clinical warning sign, not dismissed as a lifestyle issue Foundational tools for supporting hormone health through detox, nutrient therapy, and intimacy The key lab markers most conventional providers overlook—and how to find a properly trained hormone specialist Why hormone health is central to brain protection, immune resilience, and emotional regulation   More from Dr. Berkson: Dr. Berkson is the author of numerous books including Hormone Deception, Safe Hormones, Smart Women, and Sexy Brain. She holds patents in bioidentical hormone therapy, has collaborated on research in estrogen receptor science, and consults internationally on nutrition for hormone-driven cancers, inflammatory bowel disease, renal disorders, and more.   She teaches continuing education for medical professionals and is the founder of multiple educational platforms for both clinicians and the public.   Resources Mentioned:   Six-Week Foundations of Healing Course:  https://www.nutritionaltherapy.com/foundations Website: www.drlindseyberkson.com Memberships: drlindseyberkson.com/membership Substack: drlindseyberkson.substack.com Everything Hormones CME Course: drlindseyberkson.com/everythinghormones Vilified to Vindicated Course (V2V): drlindseyberkson.com/v2v Nutritional Medicine by Dr. Alan Gaby: https://doctorgaby.com   Looking for personalized support?

ADHD and other brain-based conditions such as depression, autism, and even schizophrenia are increasingly understood as inflammatory disorders of the brain—deeply rooted in the complex interplay between genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Many individuals go undiagnosed for years, internalizing harmful labels like “lazy” or “difficult,” until the weight of unaddressed symptoms finally becomes too much. But there is hope: Functional Medicine offers a radically different approach by uncovering and addressing root causes such as nutritional deficiencies, gut microbiome imbalances, food sensitivities, toxin exposures, and lifestyle factors. Stories of transformation emerge when these root drivers are corrected—children once labeled disruptive begin to thrive, adults regain focus and emotional balance, and families find relief. This emerging paradigm offers not just symptom management but the possibility of genuine healing through personalized, whole-body care. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. George Papanicolaou and Dr. Jaquel Patterson, how ADHD and other mental health challenges are often rooted in inflammation and imbalances in the body—and how addressing diet, lifestyle, and root causes can lead to real healing. Dr. 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, I invited Dr. Papanicolaou to join The UltraWellness Center and we've been successfully helping people together ever since. Dr. Jaquel Patterson is a nationally recognized naturopathic physician, success coach, three-time Amazon bestselling author, and Forbes contributor. She owns a successful medical practice, Fairfield Family Health in Connecticut, and brings over 16 years of clinical experience, specializing in Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, integrative psychiatry, and environmental medicine. A sought-after speaker, Dr. Patterson has been featured in USA Today, New York Magazine, and Forbes, and on CBS, Fox, NBC, and ABC. She's the past president of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians and currently serves on the board of the American Academy of Environmental Medicine. Certified by the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), she's also completed a fellowship in functional medicine with a focus on psychiatry and ADD/ADHD. In addition to her naturopathic medical degree, Dr. Patterson holds an MBA in Healthcare Management from Quinnipiac University and an undergraduate degree from Cornell University.

Longevity isn't just about adding years to life—it's about adding life to those years. At the heart of lasting vitality are the often-overlooked essentials: deep social connection, a clear sense of purpose, and a mindset filled with optimism.
