In this illuminating conversation, we sit down with Hope Pedraza—a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Human Design guide and Clinical Hypnotherapist—to explore how physical health and energetic alignment are deeply intertwined. Hope shares her journey from dance and pilates into integrative wellness, blending lab-based science with energetic healing. Together, we dive into how burnout, hormones, minerals, and emotional regulation are all connected through the lens of Human Design. This episode invites you to see your body as an intuitive system capable of self-healing when you learn to listen, rest, and reconnect with your innate balance—and encourages you to honor your rest cycles by viewing rest as just as valuable as your productivity.   Key Takeaways: How true healing happens when we integrate the physical, emotional, and energetic aspects of health. Why learning your body's language—its signals, sensations, and subtle cues—is the foundation for self-healing and empowerment. How burnout often stems from over-identifying self-worth with productivity, and why healing requires shifting your frequency and cultivating safety around rest. How reframing rest as a safe, worthy, and necessary part of healing can rewire long-held trauma responses around overworking and "doing enough." How energy centers such as the root (linked to adrenals) and the solar plexus (linked to detoxification) reveal how stress and suppressed emotions directly impact physical well-being. Why foundational minerals like magnesium, sodium, and potassium are the body's "spark plugs," essential for hydration, hormone balance, and cellular repair.   Connect with Hope Pedraza: hopefulandwholesome.com Hopeful and Wholesome Podcast Connect on Facebook Instagram: @thehopepedraza YouTube: @HopePedraza DayLuna: ENTER OUR NOVEMBER SCHOLARSHIP GIVEAWAY!  Join Your Human Design Besties in November 2025 for a chance to win a full scholarship for ALL DayLuna Human Design Courses!

Welcome to today's episode with host Sadie and a medical panel of three Hoffman Process graduates who are also esteemed medical practitioners. Our host, Sadie, Carrie Levine, Dr. David Hanscom, and Dr. Kash Trivedi engage in this powerful conversation. They cover the connection between emotional health and physical health, the mind-body connection, finding the safety within needed to heal, and so much more. With her background as a licensed Nurse Practitioner, Sadie guides the panel with insightful questions. Our guests answer through their embodied learning from both the Process and their many years of medical practice. They share insights on what it means to practice medicine with awareness, compassion, and the knowledge that can help guide their patients to deeper healing. As the conversation goes deeper into the idea of healing needing a sense of safety, Sadie then asks the panel if we each can "take responsibility for our inner experience of safety?" Carrie responds, saying, "I think we have to. I don't know that anybody else can do that for us. ... I think it's on us." We hope you enjoy this conversation with Carrie, Davide, Kash, and Sadie.

What if everything we've been told about nutrition is wrong? Dr. Shawn Baker, author of The Carnivore Diet and co-founder of Revero, shares why he left traditional surgery to focus on treating disease through nutrition and lifestyle.

Hey Friend, You know that feeling when you are “doing all the things” and still not seeing the progress you hoped for? Tracking macros. Saving workouts on Pinterest. Maybe even finishing 75 Hard.Yet the scale, your energy, or your mood are not really changing. If you have ever thought, “What am I doing wrong?” or “Why am I stuck?”, I want you to hear this new conversation. I recently sat down with my best friends, Shaela Daugherty (The Stronger Collective) and Brittany Braswell (Faith Filled Food Freedom Podcast), for a completely unscripted, bestie-style conversation about what we call “the boring basics” in health and fitness. Nothing fancy. No shiny hacks. Just the simple, repeatable things that actually work, for your body and your walk with the Lord. Inside the episode, we talk about: Why hopping from one program to another keeps you stuck and exhausted How social media has trained us to crave quick results and constant novelty The truth about “muscle confusion,” diet trends, and quick fixes Why the most powerful habits often feel very ordinary How faith, discipline, and consistency all work together What it looks like to honor God with your health in a real, sustainable way We also get really honest about our own struggles with consistency. There is a part of the conversation where I share how tempting it was to ditch my simple strength plan and follow the “fun” workouts I saw other women doing at the gym. My body did not need another shiny plan. It needed the same lifts, again and again, so it could actually grow stronger. That is what this whole episode is about: Stop chasing motivation. Start mastering the mundane. For the Christian woman who is Googling things like“Why am I not losing weight even though I work out?”or asking ChatGPT“How do I stay motivated to be healthy as a busy mom?” This conversation is a grace filled reset. We talk about how doing the same simple thingslifting, walking, praying, eating balanced meals, going to bed on timecreates the rhythm where real physical and spiritual transformation happens. A few simple “boring basics” we encourage you to start with: Eat protein at every meal Drink a glass of water every time you eat Choose one small habit and stick with it for at least 12 weeks Ask for accountability instead of trying to do it alone Anchor your routines to time with the Lord, not just willpower You do not need a more complicated plan. You need a faithful one.God often does His deepest work in the quiet, ordinary choices that no one sees. In grace + health, Lacy Lain Before you go…

In this episode of the Ageless Future Podcast, Cade Archibald explores how white adipose tissue (white fat) can be transformed into metabolically active brown fat to improve energy, fat loss, and overall health. He explains how excess white fat impairs mitochondrial function and nitric oxide production—two keys to aging and vitality. Cade discusses practical strategies like cold exposure, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and mitochondrial-boosting peptides (including MOTS-c, Epitalon, and Adipotide). He also reviews a fascinating animal study showing Adipotide reduced abdominal fat by 27% and improved insulin sensitivity by 50% in just 28 days. Listeners are challenged to try cold showers, HIIT, and energy tracking for better metabolic function and cellular health.www.agelessfuture.comLIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.FutureInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/

Millions of women struggle with infertility worldwide. And if you're one of them, you're not alone.  But in this inspiring episode, I sit down with the brilliant Dr. Ann Shippy to unpack the growing fertility crisis—and more importantly, what you can do to turn things around.  Dr. Shippy shares how the integrative and functional medicine approach helps women heal their gut, support detoxification, manage stress, and supercharge their mitochondria to naturally boost fertility and have healthier pregnancies.  We also dive into the world of epigenetics—how the choices you make before conception can literally shape how your baby's genes are expressed for lifelong health.  Dr. Shippy's message is clear: preconception care isn't just about getting pregnant, it's about setting up the next generation for success.  Whether you're in your 20s, 30s, or 40s, taking time to optimize your health before conceiving can make all the difference for you AND your baby.  Tune in to learn how intentional steps today can lead to healthier pregnancies, thriving babies, and an empowered path to motherhood. Dr. Ann Shippy  Dr. Ann Shippy is a board-certified Internal Medicine physician and certified Functional Medicine practitioner. Before entering the world of medicine, Dr. Shippy spent years as a chemical engineer—a role that shaped her precision-driven, systems-based approach to health. Her transition to medicine was born from personal health struggles and a desire to uncover the root causes of illness rather than treating just symptoms alone. As the founder of Every Baby Well, Dr. Shippy empowers couples to prepare for healthy pregnancies through science-backed protocols, lab testing, and functional strategies. Motivated by the rising rates of chronic illness and developmental challenges in children, she authored The Preconception Revolution: A Science-Backed Path to Your Fertility and Generational Health, a practical and hopeful guide to optimizing health before conception. IN THIS EPISODE How changes in lifestyle can alter fertility AND epigenetics  Functional medicine approaches for boosting fertility The importance of healthy preconception practices for fertility and the long-term health of your children  Getting your partner involved for preconception success  Non-negotiable supplements in addition to your prenatal  Why a 90-day+ detoxification can boost conception success  Practical lifestyle and nutrition recommendations for fertility The numbers and science behind the current fertility crisis  QUOTES“What I realized is that as we're improving fertility, we're also changing something called epigenetics– how the genes are getting expressed, the little time capsules that are being passed on to the babies with the egg and the sperm, and it would help the kids be healthier.”  “What I hope happens with this message is that even people in their 20s have access to this information about how important it is for them to have a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby. “ RESOURCES MENTIONED Pre-order Dr. Ann Shippy's Book: The Preconception Revolution  https://annshippymd.com/the-preconception-revolution/ Pre-order The Preconception Revolution on Amazon  https://amzn.to/43aDxH5 Dr. Ann Shippy's Website Every Baby Well Website Dr. Ann Shippy on Instagram RELATED EPISODES  #530: The Critical Role That Nutrient Deficiencies Play In Fertility and Conception And How To Close The Gap with Lisa Dreher #428: The Most Important Solutions To Implement to Protect Our Fertility with Dr. Christiane Northrup 688: Unlock Cellular Energy and Longevity with Urolithin A + Mitochondrial Optimization with  Jen Scheinman  683: Aging in Reverse: How Women Over 40 Can Boost Energy, Lose Weight & Rewrite Their Story with Natalie Jill

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%.

In this enlightening episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons sits down with Dr. Staci Whitman, founder of NoPo Kids Dentistry and a pioneer in functional and holistic oral health. Together they uncover how the mouth serves as the gateway to the body—and why what happens there reverberates through every system.Dr. Whitman explains how chronic disease begins long before symptoms appear and how functional dentistry offers a path toward true prevention. From the oral microbiome and nutrition to mercury fillings, x-ray exposure, and the ongoing fluoride debate, she brings clarity and compassion to topics often overlooked in conventional care.Listeners will gain an understanding of biocompatibility in dental materials, the emotional toll of traditional dentistry, and how early-life oral care can shape a lifetime of wellness. This is an empowering look at how modern medicine and dentistry can finally come together to support whole-body health.

The biggest hormone myth is finally being debunked, and it's kept millions of women suffering needlessly. I'm talking with Dr. Deb Matthew about the shocking truth: estrogen actually protects against breast cancer, with studies showing a 24% reduction in risk. For 20 years, women have been denied hormone support based on a completely misinterpreted study. We dive deep into how hormone imbalances fuel autoimmune conditions, why your doctor might still be afraid to help you, and what you need to know to advocate for yourself. If you've been told you're "too young" or "too old" for hormones, or that feeling exhausted and irritable is just "normal aging," this conversation could change everything. You deserve to feel resilient, not depleted.For the complete show notes, links and transcript visit inspiredliving.show/216

If you've ever walked through a season of loss, exhaustion, or endless waiting — wondering what God is doing or why He seems silent — this episode is for you.In the premiere of Spark Faith, Dr. Kris Sargent opens her heart about a deeply personal season that changed everything. After losing her mother in early 2024, Kris found herself emotionally and spiritually drained. Instead of rushing back into work and “getting back on the horse,” she heard God say one word: wait.What felt like an unwanted pause became sacred preparation. Through that quiet season, God began to remind her — and now all of us — that He never wastes our pain. He repurposes every experience, every tear, every waiting season for our growth, His glory, and the good of others.In this first episode, you'll discover:✨ Why it's okay to be honest with God — even angry with Him — and still pray through the pain.✨ What Romans 8:26–28 really means in context (hint: God is already working with your pain, not around it).✨ How the Holy Spirit intercedes when we have no words left to pray.✨ Why our waiting seasons are often God's preparation seasons.✨ How God uses our stories to bring comfort, hope, and healing to others.Dr. Kris also shares why a Functional Medicine doctor is talking about God — and how her decades of experience helping women heal physically led her to realize that the heart and the body can't be separated.Lab tests can't heal grief, and supplements can't restore a weary soul. Only God can.Spark Faith is where faith and functional medicine meet — helping women heal their bodies, renew their minds, and rediscover God's presence in every part of their journey.Scriptures mentioned:Romans 8:18, 26–28 · 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 · Genesis 50:20 · Psalm 34:18If you've been in a waiting season or wrestling with unanswered prayers, this episode will remind you that your story isn't over — it's being rewritten by the One who makes all things new.

In this episode of Ageless Future, Regan Archibald sits down with Dr. Aaron Hartman, a leading integrative and functional medicine physician from Richmond, Virginia, to explore how personal struggle reshaped his medical philosophy. Dr. Hartman shares the remarkable story of his adopted daughter, Anna, who was born with severe neurological challenges after prenatal drug exposure and was given little hope by conventional medicine. Refusing invasive interventions, Dr. Hartman and his wife instead pioneered a personalized, root-cause approach—combining nutrition, genomic testing, hyperbaric therapy, peptides, and stem cells—to help Anna achieve milestones doctors said were impossible. Their journey reveals both the shortcomings of standard medical systems and the transformative power of curiosity, persistence, and faith. The conversation expands to the healing of mothers, trauma recovery, and how functional medicine empowers both patients and practitioners to think, innovate, and restore true health. LIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE DR.

In this episode of Raise the Line, host Lindsey Smith explores Dr. Mullane's view that naturopathic medicine complements conventional care by expanding -- not replacing -- the clinical toolkit, and that collaboration should be the future of medicine. “At the end of the day, collaboration and connection create the best outcomes for the people we serve,” she says. Their in-depth conversation also spans the shifting landscape of women's hormone health, including the perimenopausal transition and long-overdue calls for research equity. “We're not just smaller versions of men. We need to have dedicated research for us.” Tune in to learn about the importance of grounding health in sustainable habits, rethinking midlife care for women, and how to help patients take ownership of their health.Mentioned in this episode:Joi + BlokesSuppCoDr. Mullane's Clinical Website If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

In this episode of Ageless Future, Regan Archibald explores the groundbreaking molecule SLU-PP-332, a compound designed to mimic the metabolic benefits of exercise by activating key genetic and mitochondrial pathways. Originally developed by researchers at St. Louis University, SLU-PP-332 works through the ERR-alpha and AMPK pathways, promoting fat oxidation, mitochondrial biogenesis, and improved insulin sensitivity—without the oxidative stress of overtraining. Regan discusses how animal studies demonstrated dramatic improvements in endurance, fat loss, and glucose control, and shares his own experience using SLU-PP-332 to enhance VO₂ max, energy, and recovery. He also outlines its potential applications for metabolic syndrome, muscle loss, inflammation, and even post-COVID mitochondrial dysfunction. The episode concludes with practical insights on stacking SLU-PP-332 with other peptides like MOTS-c, 5-Amino-1MQ, and BPC-157 for comprehensive metabolic rejuvenation, while emphasizing the foundation of longevity medicine: optimizing insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial efficiency, and consistent physical conditioning.www.agelessfuture.com

I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality.In this episode, I'm talking about something that's been simmering in my soul for a long time: the quiet pressure to conform, and how easy it is to slip into a life that looks “fine” … but doesn't feel like yours. I'm sharing why I've always chosen to march to my own beat, even when it didn't make sense to anyone else, and how that mindset became the key to living with energy, purpose, and joy well into my 40s, 50s, and beyond. If you've ever felt like you're playing small or waiting for the “right time” to step into your greatness… this one's for you.Key Highlights:“Fine” might feel safe, but it's not where your best life lives.Your kids don't need you to be perfect; they need you to be bold.The people around you shape your energy more than you realize.You don't need January 1st to begin your transformation.True health includes vitality, purpose, and joy, not just diet and exercise.Most people live at a “5”, but you were made for a 10.Being in a “league of your own” isn't weird; it's wisdom.Key Takeaways:“There is no magic and pixie dust that falls upon us on January 1st… You have the decision right now, today.”-Kellie Lupsha“Don't let fear hold you back.

Most people don't realize that what happens in the mouth can ripple through the whole body. The balance of the oral microbiome—the community of bacteria living in our mouths—can either protect us or trigger widespread inflammation that affects the heart, joints, and brain. Hidden dental infections or mercury fillings can quietly drive fatigue, autoimmune issues, or dementia—and fixing the mouth often helps the rest of the body heal, too. The good news is that with simple steps like eating whole foods (often removing gluten), cleaning the mouth well, and breathing through the nose, we can protect both our smile and our overall health. When we care for the mouth as part of the body, lasting wellness becomes possible from the inside out. In this episode, Dr. Todd LePine, Dr. Elizabeth Boham, James Nestor, and I talk about how a healthy mouth microbiome is a key to whole-body wellness. 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. 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. James Nestor is an author and journalist who has written for Scientific American, Outside, The New York Times, and more. His book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, was an instant New York Times and London Sunday Times bestseller. Breath explores how the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly—and how to get it back. Breath spent 18 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in the first year of release, and will be translated into more than 30 languages. Breath was awarded the Best General Nonfiction Book of 2020 by the American Society of Journalists and Authors, and was nominated for Best Science Book of 2021 by the Royal Society. Nestor has spoken at Stanford Medical School, Yale School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, The United Nations, Global Classroom, and appeared on more than 60 radio and television shows, including Fresh Air with Terry Gross, the Joe Rogan Show, and more.

Doug sits down with Dr. Victor Carsrud, Head of Functional Medicine & Health Innovation at Breather Mae, to map a no-fluff health playbook for high-demand performers—rodeo athletes, ranchers, farmers, and anyone who works hard. We dig into why "test, don't guess" matters, how a simple Gut Check unlocks better hormone balance and recovery, and the panels most annual physicals miss (full thyroid with antibodies, prolactin for pituitary stress, micronutrients, organic acids). We also get real on environmental toxins (mold, microplastics, PFAS), what to eat on the road, and why 30g protein within 30 minutes of waking changes your day. What you'll learn Why TSH alone isn't enough: add Free T3/T4 + TPO/TG antibodies How gut → brain → hormones all connect (and why it's step one) When prolactin flags pituitary stress (think head hits/endocrine disruptors) "Test don't guess" supplements (yes, vitamin D can be too high) Tiered testing: Baseline → Tier 1/2 → Tier 3 → Olympiad Real-world fueling for the road: protein-first wins for energy & focus.

I'm so excited to talk with VJ Hamilton, registered nutritionist and a functional medicine practitioner who specializes in autoimmune disease.I was diagnosed with celiac disease fairly late in life. When I was diagnosed, it just made so much sense and explained so many things. It also led to change. And that can be hard to navigate on your own.Perimenopause and menopause symptoms and those of autoimmune diseases — like brain fog, joint aches, and fatigue — can be signs of both. Plus shifts in hormones can certainly trigger changes or unmask hidden inflammation. Testing and treatment can help.We talk about: Autoimmune disease 101 — what we're actually talking aboutTriggers vs. root causes and how to find the root causeHow to advocate for yourself with doctors and what other practitioner you might want to seeSimple changes you can make to improve your healthFocus not on what you have to cut out for food or what exercise you have to do, but what you need and what you likeEating whole foods instead of prepared meals and how to navigate restaurants and special eventsABOUT VJVJ Hamilton is the founder of The Autoimmunity Nutritionist and an expert in autoimmune disease, specialising in skin disorders, chronic fatigue, joint health, and digestive issues for both men and women.As a Registered Nutritionist with a Medical Science degree (BSc) in Biochemistry & Immunology and having completed the full certification programme at the renowned Institute for Functional Medicine, VJ uses evidence-based nutritional therapies to support her clients in transforming their health.LINKShttps://theautoimmunitynutritionist.com/https://www.instagram.com/theautoimmunitynutritionist/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/theautoimmunitynutritionist/ DOABLE CHANGESAt the end of every episode, we share three doable changes, so you can take what you've heard and put it into action. Action is where change happens. But here's the thing: when we have a goal, a wish, a desire bubbling up in us, it can feel really huge. Sometimes we stop ourselves in our tracks based on how huge our desire feels. Change needs action, but it doesn't need huge action. When we focus on the next step, the next Doable Change that we can integrate into our lives, we don't get stuck and we create momentum. Choose one Doable Change that resonates with you today and really play with it. Fit it into your life, your days, make it work for you — then move on to your next Doable Change. Here are Three Doable Changes from this conversation: MAKE A LIST OF THINGS YOU LOVE TO DO. Changing your lifestyle doesn't have to be terrible! Make a list of things you love to do. Ways you like to be active, rest, connect with others. Make a list of things that make you feel good! Plan for more of those things in your life. That might look like swapping dancing for a gym session or eating food that gives you energy or going to bed on time.RESET IDEAS AROUND FOOD. Here are a few ways to try this Doable Change. First, instead of asking, “What do I have to cut out?” think about what foods you can...

Ever wonder why you can't stop craving sugar and carbs no matter how hard you try? It's not about willpower; it's about the wrong bacteria controlling your gut. Paul Barattiero, founder of Echo Water and pioneer in hydrogen therapy, reveals the shocking truth behind those relentless food cravings. Your gut should naturally produce 10-12 liters of hydrogen gas daily through proper fermentation, but most of us are nowhere near that. In this conversation, Paul shares how he accidentally discovered hydrogen water while desperately trying to heal his wife's severe health issues. What he found changed everything: 96% of your gut bacteria need a specific electrical environment to thrive, and when they don't get it, the wrong bacteria take over - literally controlling what you crave. I dive deep into the science behind why your microbiome needs negative electrical potential, how hydrogen water creates the perfect terrain for healing, and why you might finally be able to eat foods you've been avoiding for years.

What if the chronic medical issues that you're struggling with are just being treated at a surface level and the real cause of the illness or autoimmune condition lies much deeper? The unfortunate reality is that traditional healthcare has forced us to accept medications and quick fixes that manage symptoms instead of resolving the root issue.

Dr. Philip Oubre is my personal functional medicine doctor, a board-certified physician who helps patients uncover and heal the root causes of chronic illness.

A hidden fire called chronic inflammation drives many problems—from joint pain and arthritis to autoimmune conditions, and even faster aging. Typical fixes (like pain meds and steroid shots) calm symptoms but often miss the “why,” and can leave people still hurting or even create more issues. Big triggers of inflammation that impact our joints, and so much more, include sugar and refined carbs, extra weight, leaky gut, toxins, infections, stress, and poor sleep—plus joints naturally get less blood and oxygen as we age. This is why it's important to create an anti-inflammatory lifestyle plan starting with real whole foods, and incorporating regular exercise, stress management, gut repair, and targeted anti-inflammatory supplements.  In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. George Papanicolaou and Dr. Cindy Geyer, how chronic inflammation, arthritis, and joint pain can be reduced using a Functional Medicine approach, including how to do the anti-inflammatory 10-Day Detox diet.  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.
