Dr. Tony Ebel explores the relationship between the nervous system and gut health, particularly in children with neurodevelopmental challenges like autism and ADHD. He challenges the conventional approach to addressing gut issues primarily through diet, supplements, and detoxification. Based on his clinical observations, Dr. Ebel explains how underlying nervous system dysfunction—specifically vagus nerve impairment and sympathetic dominance—may be the root cause of gut problems. He shares his clinical experiment that demonstrated significant improvements in GI Map testing results through chiropractic adjustments alone, emphasizing that while functional medicine interventions are valuable, they work best when foundational nervous system issues are addressed first.[00:01:00] The Growing Focus on Gut HealthWhy gut health has become a top concern for parents of children with autism and ADHDDr. Tony's study revealing 60% of parents list gut health improvement among their top goalsThe journey from traditional medicine to functional/integrative approaches[00:06:00] The Incomplete Gut-Brain ConnectionThe gut-immune system connection (60-80% of immune system in gut)The gut-brain connection widely discussed in functional medicineWhy this is an incomplete picture: the nervous system's overarching role[00:08:00] Dr. Tony's Journey and Clinical ObservationsHis background in chiropractic and exploration of biomedical approachesBuilding an integrated practice and running GI mapping testsPattern recognition between case histories, nervous system scans, and gut issues[00:17:00] The Clinical Study: Nervous System First ApproachTesting if chiropractic care alone could improve gut health without diet changes or supplementsResults: 80-85% of cases showed significant improvement in GI Map testing[00:20:00] The Vagus Nerve as the Gut-Brain Superhighway80% of vagus nerve fibers go from gut to brainHow sympathetic dominance affects gut functionThe cascade of gut issues that stem from nervous system dysfunction[00:22:00] Four Primary Gut Functions Controlled by the Nervous SystemMotility: Movement necessary for detoxificationAbsorption: Recognition and intake of nutrientsAssimilation: Direction of nutrients to where they're neededElimination: Removal of toxins and waste[00:27:00] Real Results and the Integrated ApproachThe three essential health markers: improved movement, pooping, and sleepingCase examples of healing through nervous system restorationWhy the right sequence matters: nervous system first, then supplements and functional medicine-- DETAILS & REGISTRATION FOR THE FREE MAY AUTISM SUMMIT Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Unlocking the Secrets of the Six-Base GenomeEpigenetics was somewhat vague when I was an undergraduate ( a long time ago). So I was curious to get an update on how we can investigate it more closely and what we are learning. I talked to Tom Charlesworth, Director of Market Strategy and Corporate Development at biomodal, a sequencing technology company focused on epigenetics. Tom explained how modifications beyond the traditional four DNA bases impact gene expression, development, and disease. What is the Six-Base Genome?Tom introduced biomodal as a sequencing technology company spun out of the University of Cambridge, focused on the interface between genetics and epigenetics. Their technology goes beyond the traditional four-base genome (A, T, G, and C) by adding two epigenetically modified bases: methylcytosine (5-MC) and hydroxymethylcytosine (5-HMC). This “six-base” approach captures critical modifications that play distinct roles in gene regulation.5-MC is associated with repressing gene expression, often keeping certain genes “turned off,” while 5-HMC is linked to opening chromatin and activating gene expression. Understanding these modifications provides a more dynamic picture of how our genes are regulated—not just by the sequence of DNA but also by chemical marks that change over time.Bridging the Gap Between Genetics and FunctionThe traditional four-base genome gives us an invaluable map of our genetic code, but it falls short of explaining how the same genetic sequence could lead to such diverse outcomes—from development to disease. Epigenetic modifications, like 5-MC and 5-HMC, offer another layer of regulation that's essential for gene expression. Tom highlighted research that illustrates the value of this additional information. He mentioned the work of developmental biologist Emily Hodges, who uses the six-base data to study chromatin accessibility during neuronal stem cell differentiation. Emily found that early changes in 5-HMC could predict chromatin opening, an insight that would be invisible if one only looked at 5-MC. This kind of nuanced view helps us understand the precise moments when genes are primed for activation, offering a clearer picture of developmental biology.Applications From Oncology to NeurologyTom described three main areas where their customers are leveraging the six-base genome: fundamental research, oncology, and neurology.In oncology, there's a growing recognition that multi-omic data—integrating genetic and epigenetic information—can improve cancer detection and treatment response. Tom shared examples of ongoing projects in Canada and Australia, where researchers are using six-base sequencing to better understand the complex dynamics of tumor evolution. By distinguishing between 5-MC and 5-HMC in circulating tumor DNA, they hope to pinpoint which DNA fragments originate from cancer cells, providing a more accurate snapshot of the disease's state and progression.The six-base genome also shows promise in neurology. Tom explained that the brain is unique because it has an unusually high level of 5-HMC compared to other tissues, yet we still don't fully understand why. Early research is exploring this epigenetic landscape to uncover new biomarkers for diseases like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and various brain tumors. The ability to profile these epigenetic marks could lead to breakthroughs in diagnosing and potentially treating neurological disorders.Are you subscribed yet? If not, let's fix that.Epigenetics as a “Life Record”: The Developmental and Environmental ContextHere's another way think about the six-base genome—as a record of a cell's developmental journey and its responses to the environment. During early development, epigenetic marks guide cells down specific paths, setting up the blueprint for tissues and organs. But later in life, these marks are influenced by external factors like diet, aging, and environmental exposures. This can lead to changes in gene expression that contribute to disease, aging, or even resilience against external stressors.We also touched on how this concept applies to reprogramming cells, such as in induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs). When cells are reprogrammed, they don't just revert to a blank slate; their epigenetic history still influences how they behave. Tom described work showing that successful reprogramming often involves restoring specific epigenetic marks, essentially rewinding the “epigenetic clock” to a more youthful state.Rethinking DNA as the Sole BlueprintTraditionally, DNA has been viewed as the ultimate blueprint for life. But the static genome represents only a portion of the story—it's the interaction with the adaptable epigenome that truly dictates how our genetic potential is realized. The six-base genome isn't just a scientific curiosity; it's another tool for decoding the complexities of life.Tom describes DNA as the “possibility space” of an organism, but it's the epigenetic modifications that trim and shape this space into the reality we observe. This nuanced view challenges us to look beyond the sequence and consider the rich layers of regulation that determine who we are and how we function.I am most excited to learn how environmental conditions like diet and maybe even experience influence the epigenome. As a bacterial geneticist, my basic model is substance A interacts with some regulatory protein to turn a gene on or off. I want to know how the epigenome records my environment. Do the conversations I have had leave detectable marks on the chromosomes in my brain? What would be the mechanism for that? Regardless of the outcome, it's fun to see the ever increasing depth of our understanding of biology.Your deepest insights are your best branding. I'd love to help you share them.

We homo sapiens sapiens are “fearfully and wonderfully made,” but why? What's so special about being human? What makes us unique? And can we equate our uniqueness in the world with the Imago Dei? Experimental psychologist and cognitive scientist Justin Barrett joins Evan Rosa to discuss the image of God as a blueprint for each of us as individuals; human uniqueness as a theological and psychological category; the place of homo sapiens among other species; uniquely human capacities, such as executive function, hypersociality, and acquisition of specialized knowledge; the human biological niche construction—or changing the environment—and how our psychological traits factor; the psychological and biological underpinnings of human culture and the problem of creating cities; and how human technology interacts with our biological niche. This episode was made possible in part by the generous support of Blueprint 1543.

Until generative AI came along and took over every single conversation, one way to instantly ignite a ferocious debate in B2B marketing was to ask this question: “Should B2B companies be thinking like media companies when it comes to content marketing?”ZoomInfo certainly believes so. And when the go-to-market software, data, and intelligence company's CEO Henry Schuck decided to turn his content marketing operation into an editorial media machine, he hired Meghan Barr to lead it.As an award-winning journalist with two decades of experience, Meghan's editorial and storytelling skills were a perfect fit to bring Henry's vision of building an internal newsroom at ZoomInfo to life.So we were thrilled when Meghan agreed to sit down with Dave to discuss her experiences of moving into the B2B tech world, and how that move has signalled a shift in the way ZoomInfo builds its audience through content marketing.Dave and Meghan also discuss:how to tell brand and product stories across multiple channelswhy it's so important to create an ownable narrative that draws audiences inhow thinking like a media company helps to build consistency and communityhow her editorial skillset adds value to teams and projects right across the marketing functionThe debate will rage on, no doubt. But whatever side you're on, if you want an objective, honest and fascinating insight into what goes on inside a company that's very much in this transition, then this one is most definitely for you.If you enjoy the chats then there are more ways to quench your thirst for creative inspiration in the world of B2B tech.

The “rebaptizers” or Anabaptists in Germany. Almost a curse word.  We fought the wrath of both the catholics and the Lutherans as they held to a very traditional understanding that the sprinkling of water made you a “Christian”. The act of faith was not needed or involved in the act of salvation. Gal.5:6 says circumcision is nothing, only faith expressing itself through love!A bold start: The extent of John the Baptist's ministry: at least from Egypt to Turkey.  The preparation for Jesus to come was significant. But it did need to be followed up with the introduction of Jesus into the lives of those who who had repented.  Just acknowledging the truth that we are sinners is not enough. Paul's approach to Jews, Gentiles, and now disciples of John.The event with these disciples of John – who believed in the One God! – shows us several important aspects of what receiving Jesus into our lives and being empowered by the Holy Spirit looks like in the lives of believers:The two events of baptism in water (into the death and resurrection of Jesus) and being baptized with the Spirit, can be separated by time, though not necessarily essential.  We do not know when the disciples were baptized in water, but we know when Paul was baptized in the Spirit and then in water in Acts 9:17. Cornelius was baptized in the Spirit and then in Water.  The Eunuch was baptized in water and we know nothing after that. Paul only baptized a few in Corinth but it is not recorded in Acts, but they obviously were actively using the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Luke sketchily records the events, not the teaching about why, function, usage, etc. for that we turn to the letters of the NT.  We do know that Jesus empowers his disciples to use the gifts he gives them.Who has the power to lay on hands? Disciples, Ananias, Timothy, and Hebrews is a foundational teaching not just for special people.All gifts from God are valuable and serve a functionThe baptism in the Spirit is accompanied by the Gifts, Fruit, Presence, and Activity of the Holy Spirit. He never changes, he is God! Those who say that the gifts stopped with the Bible completion have no biblical evidence for that.  How can they think that and then not say the same for the fruit of the Spirit? Or the functions of the Spirit listed in Romans 12:6-9 If you want to learn about the variety of gifts, then I am happy to do that on Wednesday nights where we can discuss and ask questions and share experiences. Acts only shows what happens.There is a difference between phenomena and repeated and taught matters in Scripture.  For example, the tongues of fire is phenomena and not repeated.  God can do it, but that would not be something one can expect to happen. The gifts taught in scripture can be expected to be a part of normal Christian life and used for the benefit of others, not to puff oneself up with pride. Focusing on building a firm foundationSeparating the unbelievers from believers to invest in: for understanding the Scriptures, for training in righteousness, for correction, 2 Tim 3:16Modeling and mentoring and releasing into ministryFulfilling the task, especially if you think Jesus is coming soon!  That is the attitude we all must haveThe fruitfulness of God's methodThe disciples were able to spread the Gospel through out their region!The investment was significant and life changingThe true power of the Gospel is evident in the fact that God is magnified by real growthWho do you invest your Christian life into?

If you've never heard of sulforaphane, you aren't alone. But in the world of nutritional science, it is celebrated for its superpowers!Sulforaphane is a phytonutrient found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, and Brussel sprouts. By far the highest amount is found in broccoli sprouts - not the full grown vegetable. Sulforaphane has been extensively studied and found to have protective effects against many diseases, including multiple types of cancer, heart disease, and neurological conditions including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, stroke, and others.When it comes to the brain and nervous system, sulforaphane offers a handful of key benefits.It's an antioxidantIt's anti-inflammatoryIt promotes autophagyIt promotes mitochondrial functionIt increases neurogenesisIt promotes detoxificationAll of these functions of course have broad and systemic benefits as well, beyond the brain!When it comes to special phytonutrients like sulforaphane, we are big advocates of consuming them in whole food forms, i.e. broccoli sprouts, as opposed to encapsulated supplements. In the whole food, you receive the sulforaphane, but also tons of other phytonutrients as well as vitamins, minerals, fiber, etc. that aid in the synergistic effects of these sorts of healing compounds.Highlights from this episodeHow sulforaphane support cardiovascular functionHow sulforaphane has been shown to protect again neurological conditions and support overall brain functionThe detox-promoting properties of sulforaphaneSo many more random benefits of sulforaphane that have been studiedHow to increase your intake of sulforaphane in the diet with specific foods and cooking methodsLinks to some more good stuff- Get the Alter Health weekly WFPB Meal Guides: https://www.alter.health/meal-guides- Cleanse with Us during the next Alter Health Cleanse: https://www.alter.health/cleanse- Work with us in the Thrive on Plants program: https://www.alter.health/thrive-on-plants

Leaky Gut: Facts and FadsThe latest fad of supplement makers is to talk about "gut health." The latest boogyman for the gut is the "leaky gut." The other name for leaky gut is intestinal permeability.A Surgeon's ViewAs a surgeon, a "leaky gut" is a devastating surgical emergency. Surgeons emergently operate to remove the gut that no longer has a barrier function.The dark gut is dead and needs to be surgically removed. This gut has no barrier function and will allow bacteria from the inside of the small bowel to easily enter the patient's bloodstream. Leading to septic shock and death.The Non-Surgical Emergency or Chronic Leaky GutBut a leaky gut doesn't have to be so dramatic. Not leading to septic shock or needing to be removed. In this model, the intestinal barrier is "leaky," not to the point of causing sepsis. But the leaky gut enables small molecules to leak out of the gut into the bloodstream. Thus producing chronic inflammation.Chronic inflammation may cause obesity. Emphasis on "may."Emulsifiers and ObesityRodent studies have provided fascinating insights. Certain emulsifiers, when added to the diet of mice or rats, lead to obesity. In one experiment, rodents were fed identical amounts of kibble. But one group, emulsifiers, was added to their water. These emulsifiers, like polysorbate 80, not only produced obesity but also disrupted the microbiome of the gut (ref). But mice are not men.When dietary emulsifiers are examined in humans, high levels cause disruption of the gut. However, there is little evidence that small amounts found in the food supply cause issues. (ref 4)Non-Humans and Leaky GutWhile animal models are interesting, human studies provide useful information. That a rat or mouse has a leaky gut based on some intervention is not an equivalence in humans.Functional Medicine and Leaky GutIf you searched "leaky gut," you will find a host of "functional medicine" doctors providing supplements, bone broth, probiotics, and other scams. On the shelves of drug stores and "health food stores," you will find abundant supplements to "support gut health."Disease States and Leaky GutFunctional medicine physicians associate many disease states with leaky gut. The following have little or no good evidence to be caused by a leaky gut:Alcoholic cirrhosisAsthmaAutismChronic fatigue syndromeDepressionEczemaEnvironmental enteropathyEosinophilic esophagitisFibromyalgiaKwashiorkorMetabolic syndromeMultiple sclerosisNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)ObesityPancreatitisParkinson's diseasePsoriasisRheumatoid arthritisNon-Controversial Causes of Leaky GutThere is no doubt celiac disease, Crohn's disease, radiation, and ulcers from non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; certain bacteria can cause a change in intestinal permeability (another name for leaky gut). Celiac disease and Crohn's disease have been studied for years (ref 2, ref 3). While we know gluten exacerbates the auto-immune function of those with Celiac disease, we do not yet have a mechanism for Crohn's disease.Gut Barrier Anatomy and FunctionThe small bowel's purpose is primarily for the absorption...

ED is a downer and so is depression! But the two are more linked than previously thought and the two impact each other in a vicious cycle. In this episode, we'll look at the systems critical for function and the hormones and chemicals associated with maintaining an erection, and how depression affects it. [00:00 - 02:44] ED and Depression: How They Interrelate and Play NegativelyWhile ED can lead to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, people with depression are more likely to develop ED. Arousal, initiation, and desire all start in the brain or nervous system which triggers an erection. [02:45 - 07:37] Six Systems That Are Critical for FunctionThe six systems that are involved in sexual function are the brain, emotions, hormones, nerves, blood vessels, and muscles.When the brain releases hormones, those chemicals control a reaction that affects pleasure. It is common for men to use medication or alcohol to boost their confidence artificial however this can lead to an endless cycle of ED, deppressions, and more erectile issues caused by the medication or alcohol.Exercise, diet, meditation, socializing, and communication all play a role in boosting your mood.ED is treatable and reversible! Join the Modern Man Club [07:38 - 11:39] Increase your Testosterone by Correcting Your Sleep, Diet, and LifestyleIf you have ED, see a doctor and get blood work done to assess where to go from there.Examine your diet: Eat a Mediterranean diet of more fruits, vegetables, and inflammatory foods. Examine the amount of sleep and the quality of sleep you get. Evaluate your lifestyle and make some small changes along the way. Have hope! ED is reversible and you deserve to live a life of happiness and prosperity. Quotes:“The brain releases hormones and chemicals that control the whole reaction downward. Even if it involves something that is joyful and pleasurable as sex." – Dr. Anne Truong“There are six systems that interplay; The brain, emotions, hormones, blood vessels, and muscles. These six systems are critical for function." – Dr. Anne Truong “If you keep doing the same things, you're gonna get the same results." – Dr. Anne TruongWant to regain control of your sex life?

The thyroid gland is like the boss at the power plant. It really doesn't do much itself to produce energy for the body, but without it, things could get messy real quick.Workers failing to show up and do their jobs, all sorts of junk being left around, the wrong buttons and levers being pushed and pulled... these are the sort of things that could lead to rolling blackouts.Just as the case in cities, everything in the body depends upon access to ENERGY.Metabolism is the term given to the energy creating potential within each and every cell of the human body. The thyroid gland helps to set a sustainable metabolic rate, thus giving the body access to the energy required for regeneration, healing, and weight maintenance.As with most things, the body is pretty darn good at keeping the intricate and complex processes in check to balance thyroid function and metabolic rate. However, when obstacles arise, they can be assessed, measured, and then experienced as imbalances in thyroid function.Fatigue, sluggishness, stubborn weight gain, thinning hair, etc are classic oh low thyroid function (HYPOthyroidism), though interestingly enough, these signs and symptoms are also often related to unusually high thyroid function (HYPERthyroidism).In today's episode we cover lots to empower you with the knowledge you need to let your thyroid balance itself naturally.As always, you can join us live each Monday at 12 PT / 3 ET on the Alter Health YouTube Channel! https://www.youtube.com/alterhealthSome highlights from today's episode on THYROID...Thyroid basics including thyroid hormones released and their role to maintain balance in the bodyThe most common nutritional deficiencies that can lead to both hypo and hyperthyroidismWhy "autoimmune" hypo and hyperthyroidism are the most common causes, and what is really going on in the bodyThe connections between environmental toxins, chronic viral infections, and stress with thyroid functionThe benefits and limitations of thyroid hormone replacement and what we can consider doing insteadLinks to some more good stuff- Get the Alter Health weekly WFPB Meal Guides: https://www.alter.health/meal-guides- Cleanse with Us during the next Alter Health Cleanse: https://www.alter.health/cleanse- Work with us in the Thrive on Plants program: https://www.alter.health/thrive-on-plants- ATTN Health Practitioners!

A lifelong student of human awakening, Sam endured a spinal cord injury in 1999, paralyzing him from the waist down and catalyzing a deep dive into somatic healing arts, depth psychology, wisdom traditions and the innate intelligence of the body. Sam trains his clients in how to develop mastery over the inner workings of the egoic mind and live from an enlightened state of presence in their businesses and personal lives.In today’s deep conversation and inquiry, Sam Morris and Dr. Fred explore:The “precision of the unknown” and synchronicityHow the "Who am I?" question creates a false identify The willingness to be dynamic in one's experience of lifeHow escaping "the level of logic" helped Sam to move forward after his accidentThe logical mind vs. the transcendent mindSam's progression from "Why me?" --> "Why not me?" → "Of course it's me!"How unconscious influences create conformityWhy Sam insists on speaking openly about the loss of his sexual functionThe mistake of attaching our value to arbitrary measuresHow psychedelics played a role in both Sam and Dr. Fred's journeysThe trap of thinking there's something "better" to get to Episode Length: 01:06:57 SAM MORRIS’S RESOURCESZen Warrior Training > https://zenwarriortraining.com ALSO MENTIONED ON TODAY’S SHOW > Dr. Fred’s Conversation with Cass Phelps > https://welcometohumanity.net/podcast/2021/1/6/047-we-are-essence-with-cass-phelps WELCOME TO HUMANITY RESOURCESPodcast Website >  http://www.welcometohumanity.net/podcastPURCHASE DR.

This week on TeachLab, Justin Reich joins Blake Middle School of Medfield, MA for their Monday morning check-in to discuss the many challenges of distance learning, and the specific challenges of middle schools, who have uniquely diverse age-groups to address. Principal Nat Vaughn guides the discussion and provides questions for Justin to shed light on with his experience and research.“when I was a brand new teacher, my department head used to say.... every time you assign an essay, you're assigning 75 different essays. The experience that your students have writing this is just going to be so different for each student. And that was in normal non-crisis pandemic times, I feel like that advice is magnified a thousand times now.”Teaching Systems Lab’s COVID-19 State Guidance ReportRecognizing a diversity in individual experiencesHow virtual schools functionThe challenges of the middle school age groupThe need to remain flexible and understanding of each otherRemaining critical and parting from state guidanceCelebrating the learning that does happenReach out to those most vulnerable or struggling Note to the audience:The Teaching Systems Lab and the TeachLab team would like to thank all of our audience for their patronage as we attempt to shift our production and content in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this episode, we explore the brain. Are the two halves of the brain really that different? What is the idea of whole brain thinking? How do you get your brain to do what you want it to do? Can we become more “right brained” or “left brained” if we want to? And we also dig into the personal story of our guest - a neuroanatomist who suffered from a devastating stroke - and how the experience transformed her worldview - with our guest Dr. Jill Taylor.  Dr. Jill Taylor is a Harvard-trained and published neuroanatomist. She is the bestselling author of her memoir My Stroke Of Insight which recounts her experience and recovery after a severe stroke, which left her unable to walk, read, write, or recall any of her life. Here iconic TED talk has been viewed over 22 million times and her work has been featured all over the globe from Oprah to the New York Times and more. Are the two halves of the brain really completely disconnected?The right hemisphere and the left hemisphere process the world completely differently Whole brain thinking - how to think about yourself and the world in a holistic way by integrating both hemispheres into your thinking process The different hemispheres have different value structures and ways of perceiving the world Every ability we have is a result of brain cells that perform that function - if those cells go away, we lose that functionThe more you practice/use a group of cells in the brain, the more automatically those cellular networks run - that’s true for an athlete training, and it's also true for how we think and act in the world Whatever cells we exercise become dominant, and those begin to shape our thinking and actionIs it true that people can be more left brained or right brained?How you can engage processing in the hemisphere that you are less dominant inHow do you get your brain to do you want it to do? Self-awareness is a KEY component and the first step  Get an understanding of how much time you’re spending with each brain hemisphere being dominant Do your brain hemisphere’s get along? Each of your own cognitive minds (left and right hemisphere) have their own emotional limbic systemsWhat should someone do if they don’t feel like they have the power or don’t understand how to CHOOSE which hemisphere to engage?Look at your own patterning and begin understanding how you react to given situationsHow do shape your reactions to negative emotional experiencesThe importance of observing your emotions instead of engaging in them - the simple fact that you’re alive and capable of having an experience of the negative experience is a powerful thing Why is not the question its the WOWWe all get caught up in the oh my gosh, I'm so important - when really we are just stardustThe incredible story of how Dr. Taylor’s own stroke was a profound experienceThe experience of being one with everything that came from Dr. Taylor’s strokeMindfulness research shows that certain thought patterns can transform and change our brain circuitry Is the idea that we are separate from everything else a controlled illusion maintained by the brain?The profound lessons that come from having your entire left hemisphere shut downWhat is neuroplasticity? Is it possible to change our brain?Neuroplasticity is a fundamental property of the neurological systemHomework “pay attention to what’s inside of your head" Learn more about your ad choices.
