In this episode, we highlight vitamin D₃ in gastrointestinal health, with a focus on intestinal barrier function and the gut-immune axis. We discuss how vitamin D is metabolized into its active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and how 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D can support the intestinal mucosa, while highlighting the intestinal epithelium and immune cells in the lamina propria. Through this, we further detail the role of regulatory T cells in supporting immune balance and modulating immune function.Topics:1. Introduction - Highlighting intestinal barrier function and the gut-immune axis with a focus on vitamin D₃ 2. Vitamin D Synthesis and Metabolism - Skin and 7-dehydrocholesterol; dietary intake.- Transported through the bloodstream bound to vitamin D binding protein.- First hydroxylation in the liver to form 25-hydroxyvitamin D₃ (25(OH)D₃).- Testing.- Second hydroxylation in the kidney to form the active 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D₃ (1,25(OH)₂D₃).- Local activation also occurs. 3. Intestinal Barrier Anatomy - The intestinal epithelium forms a selectively permeable monolayer that interfaces with the gut lumen.- Covered by a mucus layer: mucins, antimicrobial peptides, secretory IgA.- Mucus layer provides physical and biochemical protection.- Tight junction proteins and paracellular permeability.- Molecules crossing the epithelium. - Disruption of tight junctions, immune cell exposure to luminal contents.- The lamina propria and Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT). - Maintaining tolerance while defending against pathogens. 4. Vitamin D's Role in Barrier Support and Immune Modulation - 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃, tight junction integrity, immune regulation, and more.- Regulatory T Cells (Tregs) and immune balance. 5. Vitamin D₂ and D₃- D₃ (cholecalciferol) is more biologically effective and binds DBP more strongly. 6. Vitamin D Levels - Levels observed in autoimmune conditions, IBS, and more.- Symptoms.- Insufficient and excessive levels of vitamin D can be detrimental.- Multi-system. 7. Conclusion - Multifactorial: Numerous factors regulate vitamin D levels.- Gastrointestinal health root cause approach.Thanks for tuning in!Get Chloe's Book Today!

Do you have breast implants? Have you thought about getting them or do you know others with them? The conversation about breast implants' impact on health is a real one for a lot of women. We get into all the cases: You have implants and feel fine You have implants and are feeling symptoms you have just chalked up to menopause Whether for yourself, or to share with a friend or daughter, this one doesn't end with breast implants. It only starts there. Stay all the way to the end for the no-cut facelift details! My Guest: Dr. Robert Whitfield, MD is AMERICA'S BREAST IMPLANT ILLNESS EXPERT™ with over 25 years of experience as a plastic surgeon and more than 16 years board-certified. He specializes in Breast Implant Illness (BII), explant surgery, and advanced cosmetic procedures like his signature “No-Cut” Facelift. He is also the creator of SHARP (Strategic Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program)—a protocol designed to reduce inflammation and support both pre- and post-surgical healing. Dr. Whitfield earned his medical degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, followed by surgical training and a plastic surgery residency at Indiana University Medical Center, and a microsurgery fellowship in Nevada. He later taught at the Medical College of Wisconsin before moving to Austin in 2012. He began private practice in 2017. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:07:42] What is Breast Implant Illness (BII)? [00:08:01] What are the BII signs and symptoms? [00:08:43] Why does BII occur, and how common is it? [00:15:36] What to do if you suspect you have BII? What tests are available? Is there a holistic approach? [00:22:52] Is it covered by insurance? [00:22:36] How is BII treated? [00:30:11] What is the No-cut Facelift? What is Breast Implant Illness (BII)? Chronic inflammatory response to breast implants. Implants are foreign bodies which may cause ~29% chance of bacterial contamination, not mold. What are the Symptoms? Brain fog Fatigue and loss of motivation Gastrointestinal issues (e.g. bloating) Joint pain Hormonal imbalance Thyroid dysfunction What to Do If You Suspect BII? Educate yourself through long-form content and patient stories Consider testing for: Detox capabilities Hormonal panels Gut health and infections Look into explant surgery with comprehensive detox and recovery (e.g. SHARP protocol) The No-Cut Facelift Designed to lift and rejuvenate without surgery or visible scars The Procedure: Fiber optics for deep neck tightening FaceTite (radiofrequency tightening beneath the skin) Micro-coring: removes tiny pieces of skin to tighten surface without visible scars Benefits: Natural results with minimal scarring Boosts collagen production Customizable depending on the patient's skin, hormones, and detox status Key Takeaways BII is real and often overlooked, frequently mistaken for menopause or autoimmune disorders. Chronic inflammation and bacterial contamination (not mold) are major culprits. A new biomarker test (oxylipin 10-HOME) could soon improve diagnosis. Personal genetics, lifestyle, and environmental exposure significantly influence risk. Explant surgery should be holistic, addressing toxins, hormones, and gut health before and after. No-Cut Facelift, a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation, is a safer, scar-free alternative to traditional facelifts, emphasizing natural results.

Did you know that nearly twenty-five percent of adolescents suffer from chronic pain, and for some, it's severe enough to impact daily life? In this episode of Pediatric Meltdown, Dr. Lia Gaggino and guest Dr. Lonnie Zeltzer talk about the complexity of chronic pain in children and adolescents—a subject often misunderstood and inadequately addressed in pediatric medicine. Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, Dr. Zeltzer shares her journey from a curiosity about adolescent medicine to specializing in pediatric chronic pain using modern pain science. This conversation not only unravels the preconceived beliefs surrounding chronic pain but also offers potential pathways and methods to manage and reframe the experience of pain in young individuals. The episode is an eye-opener for anyone seeking to understand and support children grappling with chronic pain.[00:00 - 17:02] Prevalence and Challenges of Pediatric Chronic PainChronic pain affects 15–30% of adolescents globally, with 15% experiencing severe impairment. 70% of adolescents with untreated chronic pain develop adult chronic pain. Pediatricians often lack training in modern chronic pain management concepts. Subspecialists frequently struggle to address chronic pain after ruling out organic causes. [17:02 - 27:55] Neurobiological and Psychosocial Factors Chronic pain correlates with limbic system hyperactivity and prefrontal cortex underdevelopment in adolescents. Neurodiverse individuals may experience heightened sensory sensitivity, amplifying pain perception. Hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) retrain pain-related neural pathways. POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) reflects autonomic nervous system dysregulation linked to chronic pain. [27:56 - 21:06] Gastrointestinal and Autonomic Dysregulation Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) stems from brain-gut axis dysfunction, not structural gastrointestinal issues. Autonomic dysregulation in POTS requires salt intake, hydration, and compression garments for management. Acupuncture and acupressure offer nonpharmacologic relief, particularly for needle-tolerant patients. Abdominal pain often involves muscular tension, addressed through targeted physical therapy.

Our focus today is really about the vascularabdominal syndromes that we can see so prevalent in connective tissue disorders & complex conditions. Please get us started with a description of the anatomy of the abdomen, including the GI organs, but also the ligaments &connective tissue that holds these organs in place and the vasculature that feeds them oxygen & carries away metabolic wastes. Now, let's get into the syndromes that we wantto focus on today & we're going from the top down because that's how they might be unlocked, meaning closest to the heart to the most distant to the heart and in the pelvis, that's from chest to pelvis direction. a. MALS: median arcuate ligament syndromeb. SMAS: superior mesenteric artery syndrome(duodenal comp) (meat?)c. Nutcracker: renal vein compressiond. May Thurner: iliac vein compressione. Pelvic congestion syndromes including pelvicvenous insufficiency, vaginal/ labial varices For each we talk about: a. Symptomsb. Evaluation c. Treatment: ancillary tx? Visceral manipulation? What would a patient look for in a provider? Whois doing this care? How easy/ common are folks doing these treatments? Howoften can or do treatments go wrong? We end with discussing: where is research going with this?

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: E.L: Hi Dr. Cabral, I had an endoscopy done in Jan 2024 and found gastrointestinal intestinal metaplasia in the stomach. In July I had a 2nd endoscopy done (to take a more deeper look and map it) and the results were the same and “stable” (no change), the Gastro said that it looked more like autoimmune gastritis because I tested positive for the antibody, she explained it to be one in the same. She said not to worry because the chances it become malignant (dysplasia and on) were slim and monitor it (repeat the endoscopy) in 2 years. Had a GI Map done per my Int Doc that ruled out H. pylori, which she said was not real data and disregarded it. Taking gastric gum and GI benefits, manuka honey on occasion. How long should I take these supplements for? For ever? What can I do? Can it be reversed? Alicja: Hi Dr. Cabral, I recently asked you about very high levels of vit. B12 that my blood work shows (despite not supplementing with B12, other than what's in my Multi) You said it may be a liver issue - that perhaps my liver is not processing my B12 and that's why the vitamin keeps circulating in my bloodstream. Can you please elaborate on this? How can I check if my liver does not process my B12? What kind of tests should I run for my liver? Thank you so much for your help. Alicja: Hi again. What is your opinion about electric cars? Is it true that they are big "EMF boxes" Ever since someone mentioned that, I can't help but wonder if it's true. I would love if you could make a show about this, perhaps with results of what EMF readers show inside a Tesla, Cyber truck and the self driving Weymo. Thank you again for spreading your amazing knowledge. Kelsey: Hi Dr. Cabral. I was wondering if you have heard of the brand of cookware called Hexclad. It advertises as getting the cooking experience of stainless steel, nonstick, and cast iron all in one hybrid pan. They say the nonstick is called TerraBond which is PTFE free and free from forever chemicals, and is a patented technology. Thanks for your input!! Jasmine: Hey there, Firstly, I want to thank you for all the podcasts you put out, and all that you give. I am in the best health now at 36 years old, because of how much I've learned & applied from all you've discovered and shared with us. I had my first baby last March, and plan to try for another next year, in hope that they are. somewhere close to 2 + years apart. I noticed the veins on my arms and hands enlarged during pregnancy and have remained enlarged post pregnancy (9 months now). They often ache. I started out at a healthy weight, 5' 9” 136lbs, gained 23 lbs during the pregnancy. I am wondering if there is anything I should consider doing/taking to help with the veins on my next pregnancy, maybe increasing my blood flow etc. would love to hear you thoughts. Thanks so much!

This Real Science Exchange podcast episode was recorded during a webinar from Balchem's Real Science Lecture Series. You can find it at balchem.com/realscience.Feeding rumen-protected choline in early lactation has consistently increased milk yield and energy-corrected milk yield, which is more pronounced when cows are fed diets low in metabolizable methionine. Choline feeding also increases milk fat and protein yield, minimizes body condition loss in early lactation, and reduces postpartum disease incidence. Dr. McFadden presents three topics about choline biology in the dairy cow. (01:45)Why should we consider fatty acid feeding when feeding methyl donors like choline and methionine?Choline degradation in the rumen and small intestine, focusing on the role of triethylamine oxide Why should we consider lysophosphatidylcholine as an immunomodulator in fresh cows and preweaning calves?Fatty acid nutrition to optimize methyl donor efficiency. (4:02)Fatty liver is a concern for fresh cows because of its relationship with ketosis, poor fertility and compromised milk production. Cows with fatty liver exhibit low circulating concentrations of phosphatidylcholine, which is a component of very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) that transport triglycerides out of the liver. Feeding rumen-protected choline lowers liver triglyceride deposition by supporting the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine and thus, VLDL. Dr. McFadden goes on to explain the two different pathways for phosphatidylcholine in the liver and how those interact with fatty acid metabolism. He describes several experiments that have investigated how rumen-protected choline and supplemental fatty acids interact in lactating cows. Low phosphatidylcholine supply is a key feature of fatty liver in dairy cows, likely due to low polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) and low choline supplies. Delivery of post-ruminal PUFA may support phosphatidylcholine synthesis with accompanying improvements in insulin sensitivity, body condition maintenance, and inflammation, but interactions with dietary fatty acid digestibility should be considered. Dr. McFadden gives a list of considerations for fresh cow diets incorporating fat and choline supplementation. Gastrointestinal choline degradation and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) (16:58)Unprotected choline is almost totally degraded in the rumen. Microbes convert choline into trimethylamine (TMA) which is then converted to TMAO in the liver. Rumen-protected choline allows for a large proportion of choline to reach the small intestine intact. However, research shows that choline can also be degraded by microbes in the small intestine in the same pathway, limiting choline bioavailability. Plasma TMAO accumulation is associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, inflammation, insulin resistance, obesity, oxidative stress, and cardiovascular disease in rodent and human models. Little research was available regarding if the relationship between TMAO and poor health was causative or just associative. Dr. McFadden's lab infused cows intravenously with TMAO and found that TMAO did not modify milk production or glucose tolerance in early lactation cows. TMAO does not appear to influence energy metabolism or health in early lactation cows. Choline is subject to both ruminal and lower-gut degradation to TMA, and that influence on choline bioavailability needs to be defined. Data in non-ruminants suggests that unsaturated fatty acid feeding can shift the gut microbes to slow TMA formation. Lysophosphatidylcholine and immunomodulation (28:45)Dr. McFadden gives an overview of neutrophil activation and the oxidative burst that contributes to pathogen killing. The ability to elicit the oxidative burst is diminished in pre-weaned calves and transition cows. When cows were given endotoxin to cause an immune response, circulating lysophosphatidylcholine was decreased. In rodent models, lysophosphatidylcholine promotes the oxidative burst and suppresses long-term inflammation in response to bacterial infection. Dr. McFadden cultured neutrophils from pre-weaned calves with lysophosphatidylcholine and observed an enhanced oxidative burst.Immunosuppression is characterized by low circulating lysophosphatidylcholine concentrations in dairy cows. In vitro data suggests lysophosphatidylcholine can activate neutrophils, and rumen-protected choline increases circulating lysophosphatidylcholine. Future research is likely to define an immunomodulatory role for choline. Dr. McFadden takes questions from the webinar audience.
