Podcasts about Functional testing

In this eye-opening episode of The Soaring Child, host Dana Kay explores a hidden root cause of ADHD symptoms that most parents (and even doctors) overlook—Clostridia overgrowth, specifically C. diff. If your child struggles with meltdowns, mood swings, anxiety, or sleep issues—and nothing has worked—this episode could be a game-changer. Dana breaks down what C. diff is, how it affects neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine, and why many kids are being misdiagnosed when the real problem lies in their gut. Dana Kay is an ADHD health practitioner, author, and mom who has helped over 1,500 families through her ADHD Thrive Method 4 Kids program. In this episode, she shares real-life stories, scientific explanations, and actionable solutions—including the power of the Organic Acids Test and a gut-healing probiotic blend called Gut Restore Essentials. Whether you're just beginning your ADHD journey or feeling stuck, this episode will give you practical next steps and a renewed sense of hope.

C. diff is like a bully in the gut—pushing around the good bacteria and creating chaos. Many of these symptoms are misdiagnosed as behavioral or emotional problems—but the real issue is sometimes biological. This exact scenario has been observed on Organic Acids Tests. Dopamine xcess can be linked to hyperactivity, agitation, or even psychotic-like behavior. No amount of parenting strategies or therapy will work until we address what's happening in the gut. The OAT test gives us a window into gut bacteria, neurotransmitter imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and more. This test is a simple urine test you can do from home. Most pediatricians are not looking at the gut when it comes to ADHD symptoms. You are not imagining things. Their body may be sending out very real distress signals. Dana Kay Resources:

CardioNerds (Drs. Daniel Ambinder and Eunice Dugan) join Dr. Namrita Ashokprabhu, Dr. Yulith Roca Alvarez, and Dr. Mehmet Yildiz from The Christ Hospital. Expert commentary by Dr. Odayme Quesada. Audio editing by CardioNerds intern, Christiana Dangas. This episode highlights the pivotal role of cardiac MRI and functional testing in uncovering coronary vasospasm as an underlying cause of MINOCA. Cardiac MRI is crucial in evaluating myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) and diagnosing myocarditis, but findings must be interpreted within clinical context. A 58-year-old man with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, a family history of cardiovascular disease, and smoking history presented with sudden chest pain, non-ST-elevation on EKG, and elevated troponin I (0.64 µg/L). Cardiac angiography revealed nonobstructive coronary disease, including a 40% stenosis in the LAD, consistent with MINOCA. Eight weeks later, another event (troponin I 1.18 µg/L) led to cardiac MRI findings suggesting myocarditis. Further history revealed episodic chest pain and coronary vasospasm, confirmed by coronary functional angiography showing severe vasoconstriction, resolved with nitroglycerin. Management included calcium channel blockers and long-acting nitrates, reducing symptoms. Coronary vasospasm is a frequent MINOCA cause and can mimic myocarditis on CMRI. Invasive coronary functional testing, including acetylcholine provocation testing, is indicated in suspicious cases.  US Cardiology Review is now the official journal of CardioNerds!

Notes - Coronary Vasospasm What are the potential underlying causes of MINOCA (Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries)?  Plaque Rupture: Plaque disruption, which includes plaque rupture, erosion, and calcified nodules, occurs as lipids accumulate in coronary arteries, leading to inflammation, necrosis, fibrosis, and calcification. Plaque rupture exposes the plaque to the lumen, causing thrombosis and thromboembolism, while plaque erosion results from thrombus formation without rupture and is more common in women and smokers. Intravascular imaging, such as IVUS and OCT, can detect plaque rupture and erosion, with studies showing plaque disruption as a frequent cause of MINOCA, particularly in women, though the true prevalence may be underestimated due to limited imaging coverage.  Coronary Vasospasm: Coronary vasospasm is characterized by nitrate-responsive chest pain, transient ischemic EKG changes, and >90% vasoconstriction during provocative testing with acetylcholine or ergonovine, due to hyper-reactivity in vascular smooth muscle. It is a common cause of MINOCA, with approximately half of MINOCA patients testing positive in provocative tests, and Asians are at a significantly higher risk than Whites. Smoking is a known risk factor for vasospasm. In contrast, traditional risk factors like sex, hypertension, and diabetes do not increase the risk, and vasospasm is associated with a 2.5–13% long-term risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).  Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) involves the formation of a false lumen in epicardial coronary arteries without atherosclerosis, caused by either an inside-out tear or outside-in intramural hemorrhage. SCAD is classified into four types based on angiographic features, with coronary angiography being the primary diagnostic tool. However, in uncertain cases, advanced imaging like IVUS or OCT may be used cautiously. While the true prevalence is unclear due to missed diagnoses, SCAD is more common in women and is considered a cause of MINOCA when i...

Many women in midlife are doing all the "right" things—eating well, taking supplements, and following protocols—yet they're still not feeling their best. Why? One of the biggest mistakes I see is a lack of patience and persistence in the healing process. In this episode, I break down why true healing takes time and why constantly searching for a "quick fix" can keep you stuck.   What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why healing takes longer than we expect (and why that's normal) How past stress, trauma, and health issues build up over time The dangers of "practitioner hopping" and why switching too soon can slow progress Why there's never just one thing that will fix your health The key habits of women who see real, lasting improvements Your health didn't decline overnight—it took decades of stress, diet choices, and life events to get to this point. True healing requires commitment, patience, and consistency. The women who succeed are the ones who stay the course, even when progress feels slow.

One of the most valuable tests she recommends is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), which provides a long-term look at nutrient levels, mineral imbalances, and heavy metal exposure. Since minerals are the foundation of optimal hormone function, ensuring they are in balance is key to feeling your best. Tara also highlights the importance of stool testing for gut health and explains why she considers blood work essential for tracking long-term trends in metabolic and hormonal health. On the flip side, she advises against spending money on hormone testing (like the DUTCH test) in perimenopause, as hormone levels fluctuate too much to provide reliable data. She also discusses why organic acids tests and food sensitivity panels often lead to unnecessary treatments instead of addressing root causes. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by lab testing options, this episode will give you clarity on where to focus your efforts—and your budget. In this episode:  The problem with unnecessary lab testing – Many women waste money on tests that don't provide useful insights. HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) – A must-have test that offers a deep look at mineral levels, nutrient imbalances, and heavy metals affecting hormone health. Stool testing – Essential for gut health, which impacts everything from digestion to hormone metabolism. Blood work – Important for tracking metabolic trends, inflammation markers, and overall health over time. Why hormone testing isn't helpful in perimenopause – Hormone levels fluctuate daily, making tests like DUTCH unreliable for assessing estrogen and progesterone levels. Why organic acids and food sensitivity tests aren't necessary – These tests often lead to additional unnecessary testing instead of targeting true root causes. How to make informed choices – Focus on testing that provides actionable data and long-term health benefits.   BOOK A 30-MINUTE SESSION WITH TARA HERE   Mentioned in this episode: BON CHANGE - Save 15% when you use Tara's code: THORNE15 HRT Made Simple™ - Learn how to confidently speak to your doctor about the benefits of hormone replacement therapy so you can set yourself up for symptom-free, unmedicated years to come without feeling confused, dismissed, or leaving the medical office minus your HRT script.

In this episode, Tara discusses the vital importance of paying attention to thyroid health and its significant role in overall wellness. She shares a cautionary tale of a long-time friend who was unknowingly battling severe hypothyroidism, highlighting the common misconception that thyroid issues are only linked to weight problems when, in fact, they can affect various bodily functions and overall health. Tara emphasizes the importance of recognizing common thyroid symptoms, like fatigue, brain fog, and constipation, that are often overlooked or dismissed, especially by women in midlife who are typically more vulnerable to thyroid issues due to declining hormone levels and increased stress. She urges listeners to act preventively rather than reactively, underscoring that timely intervention could prevent severe health consequences.   In this episode Tara shares:  Thyroid Haven - Discover why your thyroid health isn't just about weight—it's a master regulator of your entire body, from brain to bones.

  In this episode, Tara Thorne shares a major shift in her approach to gut health testing, explaining her decision to move away from the GI Map toward more advanced stool tests that offer deeper insights. After working with hundreds of GI Maps, Tara saw limitations in culture-based testing and now champions newer DNA-based technologies that reveal a fuller picture of gut health—essential for overall wellness. Tara discusses the benefits of cutting-edge DNA testing, like shotgun metagenomic sequencing, which provides species and strain-level details, identifies key metabolites, and allows for a more accurate assessment of the gut microbiome. This in-depth data empowers practitioners to better support individuals dealing with gut-related issues that affect digestion, brain function, and more. With these enhanced tools, Tara promotes a balanced approach to gut health, steering away from aggressive, pathogen-focused treatments. Instead, she emphasizes dietary adjustments and targeted probiotics to nurture the microbiome for both immediate and long-term benefits. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to optimize their gut health with a holistic, science-backed approach.   In this episode:  ⚡ The Big Switch-Up: Why we've moved away from the GI Map - Discover the reasons behind this pivotal change in my practice and what new options are offering us an edge.

What are the benefits of testing at our age? How does a functional balancing protocol work? What is the importance of hormone testing and fertility?

This episode brings host Jamie Belz and fellow FNTP, Thomas Gilliford together for a very real conversation about food and wellness. They dive into all things from the perspective of thriving within the navigational beacons of the aggressive pursuit of optimal wellness and setting realistic expectations for functionality and quality of life. Thomas covers his newly developed FCA (Functional Clinical Assessment) Program available to NTPs who desire to add the “F” on the front of their credential to make them FNTPs (Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners). This skill set, formerly called the Functional Evaluation, utilizes hands-on and lingual neural testing to help identify which nutrients and nutrient formulations are best for each person's bio-individual receptivity. This enables the practitioner to cut through the sea of options available when it comes to nutraceuticals and supplementation protocols to quickly identify which product is right for each individual's needs. Their conversation continues to run through many aspects of navigating diet, supplementation, expiration dates and ultra-processed foods, alcohol, surgeries and prescriptions, sleep and stress, and other wellness inputs. They discuss the challenge of trying to balance rigid rules and expectations with being realistic and enjoying life. Additional topics they touch on: eating out, alcohol, progression, EMFs, hydration, avoidance of surgery by incorporation of water, Lyme, Green Washing, Big Macs, glyphosate, dairy/milk, vegan/vegetarian, gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy), blind spots, trauma, grief,      Please hit “subscribe” and share this episode with someone!

In this episode, I dispel a few common myths around estrogen and menopause. I delve into the dangers of low estrogen levels and debunk the notion that perimenopause is solely characterized by estrogen dominance. I also touch on how taking the 'natural' approach to this midlife transition may do more harm than good! The term estrogen dominance has been widely used in the past, but it may not accurately describe the hormonal imbalance experienced during perimenopause. In fact, estrogen tends to be erratic - up, down and all over the place. Instead, we need to recognize the potential dangers of low estrogen levels, and consider hormone replacement as a key strategy at this time in our life.  While low estrogen levels in peri-menopause can lead to various symptoms, including hot flashes, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and decreased bone density, it's far more concerning of what diseases it can lead to later in life. I know that the concept of going through menopause naturally seems like a lovely idea but not bringing hormone replacement on board is unhealthy and could potentially be harmful in a lot of ways. Estrogen is vitally important for more than 400 different functions in the body and with low levels we set ourselves up for a much higher chance of dementia, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and the list goes on.  Join me for this episode, and help me dispel some of the myths of estrogen.  And if you're interested in diving deeper into the hormone balance solution, be sure to check out the video mentioned in the podcast - HERE!
