The problem might not be your discipline. It might be your gut. We expose why most probiotics may be dead before they reach you, how glyphosate wipes out your good bacteria, the hidden gut-brain link, and why a damaged microbiome makes belly fat almost impossible to lose. If you've been blaming yourself for symptoms you can't shake, this one changes everything. Talking Points & Questions Opening: Is it true someone can eat clean, exercise daily, and still have their gut secretly causing belly fat, brain fog, and inflammation? The probiotic problem Most probiotics die before reaching the gut. Are millions wasting money on fake probiotics? Why do so many people get more bloated and sick after taking probiotics? What's the biggest lie the probiotic industry has sold consumers? Food supply & warning signs What are the biggest warning signs your gut is poisoning your body before disease shows up? Glyphosate kills good bacteria but lets harmful bacteria survive. Is modern food destroying our microbiome? Gut, belly fat & the brain Can a damaged microbiome make it almost impossible to lose stubborn belly fat? What's the connection between gut bacteria, brain fog, anxiety, low motivation, and depression? Longevity & stress Microbiome diversity predicts longevity. What are most people doing daily that's quietly shortening their lifespan? Stress lowers stomach acid and can lead to SIBO. Could chronic stress alone be wrecking millions of guts? The fix With belly fat, cravings, fatigue, constipation, skin problems, or brain fog, what's the first thing you'd fix in their gut? If everyone watching had to do one thing daily to repair their microbiome, what would it be?

What if your child's ADHD symptoms had less to do with their brain, and more to do with what is living in their gut? In this episode, Dana Kay continues the functional lab testing series by unpacking one of the most overlooked drivers of ADHD symptoms: gut health. She explains how hidden infections, yeast overgrowth, parasites, gut inflammation, poor digestion, immune activation, and imbalanced bacteria can all place stress on the body, even when a child has no obvious stomach complaints. Dana also explains the difference between the Organic Acid Test and a comprehensive stool test, using the "smelling smoke" analogy to show why both tests can be helpful in different ways. The OAT may reveal downstream clues that something is off, while the stool test can help identify what may actually be sitting in the gut and contributing to that stress. This episode gives parents a practical, hopeful way to look beneath behavior and focus struggles. Instead of asking, "What is wrong with my child's behavior?" Dana encourages parents to ask, "What is stressing my child's system?" For families who feel like they have tried everything, this conversation offers a clearer way to understand the gut-brain connection and why targeted testing can help reduce the guesswork.

[01:26] Gut health is about much more than digestion. It affects the immune system, nervous system, mood, behavior, focus, hormones, and detoxification. [01:55] The gut is constantly communicating with the brain, so when something is off in the gut, the brain can feel the effects. [02:24] The Organic Acid Test shows downstream metabolic clues, while a stool test helps identify what may actually be present in the gut. [04:21] A comprehensive stool test can look at bacteria, yeast, parasites, viruses, H. pylori, inflammation, digestion, and other gut markers. [04:50] Gut stress can show up as behavior, mood, sleep issues, focus problems, and sensory sensitivity before it ever shows up as digestive symptoms. [07:07] Yeast overgrowth does not cause ADHD, but it can be one reason symptoms are not improving. [09:55] Testing helps parents stop guessing and start making targeted decisions based on what is actually stressing their child's system. MEMORABLE MOMENTS "What if your child's ADHD symptoms had nothing to do with their brain? And everything to do with what is living in their gut?" "Your child might not have a single stomach complaint." "When something is off in the gut, the brain feels it big time." "It's like walking into your house and smelling smoke." "The gut shows up in behaviour and symptoms long before it actually shows up in the in the bathroom." "Instead of asking, what is wrong with my child's behavior? We have to ask what is stressing their gut, their system." "Not because the brain is the problem, but because the brain is responding to what's happening in the gut." "They're not just ADHD symptoms. They're body issues that are showing up as ADHD symptoms." DANA KAY RESOURCES

Most women have been told their cycle is something to manage, track for fertility, or push through. What almost no one is saying is that your cycle is a second biological clock running inside your body at all times. The circadian rhythm is roughly 24 hours and is governed by light. The infradian rhythm is roughly 28 days and is governed by the menstrual cycle. Men have one main rhythm. Women have two. This is not a flaw in our design. It is added intelligence. In this solo episode, Michelle walks you through what is actually happening underneath the surface of each phase. Your brain structure shifts across the cycle. Your immune system, metabolism, insulin sensitivity, microbiome, and nervous system are all moving with you. You will learn why the same stressor can feel completely different from one week to the next, why luteal phase cravings are real signals and not willpower failures, and how to begin matching your work, food, and rest to the phase you are actually in. Whether you are trying to conceive or simply want to stop fighting your own body, this episode offers a more accurate map of how you are designed to function.   Key Takeaways: Women have two main biological rhythms. The circadian rhythm is roughly 24 hours. The infradian rhythm is roughly 28 days and is governed by the menstrual cycle. Most lifestyle and research advice is built around the male 24-hour clock, which is part of why so many women feel exhausted. Your brain structure literally changes across the cycle. The hippocampus shifts in volume, connectivity between regions changes, and verbal fluency, spatial reasoning, and pain perception all move with the phases. Feeling like a different person at different times of the month is neurobiology, not emotional volatility. Your immune system is rhythmic. It is more active in the first half of the cycle and shifts after ovulation, when progesterone becomes mildly immunosuppressive to prepare the uterus for a possible embryo. This is why colds, autoimmune flares, and allergies can shift across the month. Basal metabolic rate rises slightly in the luteal phase, and insulin sensitivity changes. The same meal can land differently depending on where you are in your cycle. Luteal phase cravings are often a real signal of higher energy needs. The gut and vaginal microbiomes also shift cyclically with hormones. You are not a static system. Everything inside your body moves with you. Heart rate variability tends to be higher in the follicular phase and lower in the luteal phase. The same stressor can land very differently depending on when in the month it arrives. Your nervous system is operating from a different baseline. From a TCM perspective, the liver works harder in the luteal phase to prepare for menstruation, which can show up as more irritability, less energy, and stagnation when qi is not flowing freely. Working with the cycle is not just a fertility tool. It is a way of living that supports energy, focus, mood, and recovery across the entire month. Practical starting points: track more than your period (energy, sleep, mood, focus, hunger, stress response), match the work to the phase when possible, and eat in a way that responds to what your body is actually doing in each phase.   Host Bio: Michelle Oravitz, L.Ac., FABORM, is a board-certified fertility acupuncturist, Ayurvedic practitioner, and author of The Way of Fertility.

Laura Delano was a high-achieving student—straight-A's, national squash ranking, class president—whose private suffering led to an early bipolar diagnosis and a lifetime prognosis of medication. After initially resisting, she spent the next decade immersed in elite psychiatric care, accumulating multiple diagnoses and nineteen medications, only to worsen and be labeled "treatment resistant." Following a suicide attempt at twenty-seven, Laura began asking a forbidden question: what if the treatment itself was the problem? Choosing to leave behind drugs and diagnoses, she became an outspoken ex-patient, writer, and advocate—working with individuals, families, and clinicians to address psychiatric drug withdrawal, patient rights, and the deeper social forces shaping modern mental health.  In this episode, Dr. Brian, Dr. Tro, and Laura talk about… (00:00) Intro (02:06) Laura's bipolar diagnosis and how it impacted her life as a young person (14:20) Psychiatric drugs and the polypharmacological approach to addressing mental health issues (23:04) The metabolic, spiritual, and emotional issues underlying psychiatric disorder (31:08) How Laura finally realized that the answer to her psychiatric problems was not more meds and traditional psychiatric care (34:10) Major issues in the psychiatric health care system (36:47) Anti-psychotic drugs, food addiction, and alcoholism (40:41) Finally coming off of all the psychiatric drugs that Laura had been on for half her life (48:17) Gut health, lifestyle factors, and mental health (50:49) Why it is so hard to find your way out of the psychiatric care system (55:13) Safe de-prescription and informed consent in psychiatric care (01:03:03) Fake empathy, moral corruption, and systemic issues in medical care that are perpetuating these major problems (01:09:10) Outro For more information, please see the links below.

You were told to try again. Maybe you were told it was bad luck, or to wait until it happened a third time before anyone would look. Here is what changed this year. In 2026, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine updated its definition of recurrent pregnancy loss for the first time since 2012. Two losses now meet the definition, not three, and a positive test that ended early counts. The old number kept women waiting for a third loss before the investigation even started. Here is the part no one tells you. Meeting the definition gets you a workup. It does not guarantee the workup is complete. After two or more losses, up to half of couples are told the same word. Unexplained. The losses are real. What gets called a complete workup is the question. This episode is the 9 specific things we most often find that are rarely checked before a woman is told her losses were unexplained or simply bad luck. Pull it up. Take notes. Bring it to your next appointment. The 9 patterns: Thyroid, the full panel and antibodies, not just TSH Antiphospholipid antibodies, tested correctly Chronic endometritis The reproductive microbiome, vaginal and seminal The gut, hidden gluten, and inflammation Sperm DNA fragmentation The male partner's full bloodwork Blood sugar and metabolic patterns The nervous system and progesterone These are the areas that sit outside a standard miscarriage workup. A 2012 meta-analysis in Human Reproduction, pooling sixteen studies and nearly three thousand couples, found miscarriage rates rose with sperm DNA damage, with about twice the relative risk. Unexplained rarely means there is nothing to find. It usually means the search stopped at the karyotype, one antiphospholipid test, the anatomy, and a TSH. For the full breakdown of every pattern, read the companion article, Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: The Functional Fertility Approach, at https://fabfertile.com/blogs/learn/recurrent-pregnancy-loss WHAT YOUR CLINIC MISSED The companion guide walks through all 9 of these patterns in more detail, so you can take it to your next appointment and ask the questions.

Nach über sechs Jahren markiert die heutige Podcast-Folge zweierlei: einen Abschied – und einen Anfang. Karl Matthäus Schmidt, der dieses Format aus der Taufe gehoben hat, übergibt den Staffelstab an gleich drei Nachfolger. Warum, weshalb und was das für die Hörerinnen und Hörer bedeutet, darüber sprechen wir dieses Mal – und über die Themen, die ihn über all die Jahre am meisten beschäftigt haben. Karl und seine Nachfolger beantworten folgende Fragen: Was steckt hinter der Staffelstab-Übergabe bei „klug anlegen“ und wie geht es weiter? (01:20) Warum gleich drei Nachfolger? (02:18) Wie schwer fällt Karl Matthäus Schmidt der Abschied? (03:43) Was sind die wichtigsten Botschaften von „klug anlegen“ der letzten Jahre? (04:31) Was hat Karl Matthäus Schmidt gelernt in den 6 Jahren – über die Märkte, über die Zuhörer und über sich selbst? (06:20) Welche Projekte stehen bei Karl Matthäus Schmidt derzeit im Fokus? (08:15) Wer sind die drei Nachfolger? (11:40) Was bedeutet das neue Setting für die Zuhörerinnen und Zuhörer? (14:46) Was ist für die erste „neue“ Folge geplant? (18:05) Gut zu wissen: Nach über 6 Jahren und 265 Folgen übergibt Karl Matthäus Schmidt die Podcast-Regie an drei Nachfolger. „klug anlegen“ wird damit noch abwechslungsreicher. Der 14-Tages-Rhythmus bleibt erhalten. „klug anlegen“ erscheint künftig auch im Video-Format. Zu den wichtigsten Botschaften aus 6 Jahren „klug anlegen“ zählt: Wer grundsätzlich in Aktien investieren will, sollte nicht auf den vermeintlich perfekten Einstiegszeitpunkt warten – das kostet letztlich meist Rendite. Ebenso wichtig: nicht verrückt machen lassen von den Medien und am besten keine Einzelaktien – ETFs sind viel vorteilhafter. Die letzten Börsenjahre sind ein besonders starker Beweis dafür, wie krisenresistent die Aktienmärkte sind. Die Quirin Privatbank wird künftig mit Ihren Kundinnen und Kunden noch intensiver über Lebens- und Anlageziele sprechen, vor allem mit Blick auf den Ruhestand. Auch die neue staatliche geförderte Altersvorsorge verdient höchste Aufmerksamkeit.

Have you ever been told your labs are "normal"—but you still feel exhausted, gain weight despite doing everything right, struggle with brain fog, poor sleep, low motivation, or simply don't feel like yourself? In this eye-opening episode of The Girlfriend Doctor Show, Dr. Anna Cabeca sits down with endocrinologist and women's health expert Dr. Shamita Trivedi to uncover why "normal" lab results don't always mean optimal health. With nearly 20 years of experience in endocrinology and hormone health, Dr. Trivedi shares how she blends evidence-based medicine with a personalized, integrative approach to help women navigate thyroid dysfunction, perimenopause, menopause, insulin resistance, metabolic health, and hormone optimization. Together, Dr. Anna and Dr. Trivedi discuss the growing epidemic of weight gain, fatigue, and metabolic dysfunction in midlife women—and why traditional medicine often misses the bigger picture. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why "normal" thyroid labs may still leave you feeling exhausted • The difference between normal ranges and optimal hormone levels • How perimenopause creates a state of neuroendocrine vulnerability • The truth about GLP-1 medications and when they're appropriate • Why hormone replacement should never be one-size-fits-all • The hidden connection between thyroid health, metabolism, and weight gain • How gut health, inflammation, and lifestyle impact every hormone system • What women with premature ovarian insufficiency need to know If you've ever felt dismissed, unheard, or told everything is fine when you know something isn't right, this conversation will empower you to advocate for your health and understand your body on a deeper level. Listen now and discover why optimal health starts beyond "normal."   Key Timestamps 00:00 – Why endocrinology plays a critical role in women's health and hormone optimization. 03:20 – Premature ovarian insufficiency: why early menopause can be devastating and what can be done. 09:15 – Birth control pills versus physiologic hormone replacement in young women. 16:00 – Perimenopause as a period of neuroendocrine and immunologic vulnerability. 22:45 – Why hormone therapy should always be individualized. 28:30 – Weight gain, cardiometabolic changes, and why women "catch up" to men in heart disease risk after menopause. 32:50 – The role of GLP-1 medications: benefits, risks, and common misconceptions. 40:40 – Gut health, inflammation, endocrine disruptors, and the root causes of metabolic dysfunction. 52:10 – Microdosing vs. standard dosing approaches for GLP-1 medications. 58:20 – Can you safely come off GLP-1 medications without regaining weight? 1:08:45 – The thyroid conversation: why so many women are told their labs are normal when they don't feel normal. 1:16:30 – T3, T4, thyroid antibodies, and finding the optimal thyroid range. 1:24:00 – A real patient case study: how hormone and thyroid optimization gave a woman her life back.   Memorable Quotes "I don't look at isolated symptoms.

What if your child's ADHD symptoms were not just a behavior problem, but a metabolic issue happening underneath the surface? In this episode, Dana Kay explains how the Organic Acid Test, often called the OAT test, can offer a deeper look at how a child's body is functioning, from nutrient processing and neurotransmitter pathways to gut overgrowth, detox stress, mitochondrial function, and more. This episode is part of Dana's functional lab testing series, and it goes one layer deeper than food sensitivities, gut issues, or nutrient loss. Dana explains why some families can be doing "all the right things," like cleaning up the diet, removing triggers, and adding supplements, yet still feel stuck. The missing piece may not be what to add or remove. It may be whether the body is actually processing things the way it should. Dana walks parents through the six key areas the Organic Acid Test can help illuminate, including microbial overgrowth, mitochondrial function, neurotransmitter pathways, toxic exposure, methylation and detoxification, and functional nutrient needs. Most importantly, she explains why this test can help bridge the gap between symptoms and function, giving families a clearer, more targeted path forward.

They may be connected to deeper metabolic issues happening underneath the surface. [01:29] Some families still feel stuck even after improving diet, removing triggers, and adding supplements because the body may not be processing things properly. [01:59] The Organic Acid Test, or OAT test, is a urine test that looks at organic acids, which are byproducts of metabolism. [02:27] Organic acids act like "metabolic breadcrumbs," offering clues about energy production, detoxification, neurotransmitters, and gut microbes. [03:18] The OAT test can help show where systems are struggling and where things are breaking down in the body. [03:43] Dana emphasizes that patterns matter more than one isolated out-of-range marker. [04:37] Gut and microbial overgrowth can produce toxins that may affect the brain and contribute to mood swings, hyperactivity, sensory issues, aggression, and poor focus. [05:03] Mitochondrial function matters because low cellular energy can show up as brain fog, low motivation, poor resilience, and overwhelm. [05:33] The test can give insight into neurotransmitter pathways like dopamine and serotonin, which are connected to focus, motivation, mood, and calm. [08:00] The biggest takeaway: traditional labs often look for disease, while the OAT test looks at dysfunction, helping parents better understand the whole-body picture. MEMORABLE MOMENTS "What if your child's ADHD symptoms were not just a behavior problem, but a metabolic issue happening underneath the surface?" "There is a test that can show you all of that from one simple urine sample." "Parents are doing everything right, they're cleaning up the diet, they're removing triggers, they're adding some supplements, and yet their child is still struggling." "The missing question is not always what should we add or remove. It is, is the body actually processing things?" "It's leaving behind these little sort of metabolic breadcrumbs." "It's not just telling us what is happening, it's telling us where things are breaking down in the body." "But the patterns are the more important thing." "You cannot fix neurotransmitters if the body does not have the nutrients or the pathways to make them properly." "This test looks at dysfunction." "You can stop guessing, you can stop jumping from one thing to the next, and you can start making sort of these really targeted decisions." DANA KAY RESOURCES

SHOW NOTESThis episode is for anyone dealing with constipation, bloating, reflux, abdominal pain or IBS.And really, anyone who wants to protect their gut, reduce stress and feel better overall.When we think about gut health, we usually start with food… what to eat, what to cut out, which diet or supplement to try next.And while nutrition is foundational, there's another side we don't talk about enough: the constant conversation between your brain and your gut

In this episode of the Health Optimization Medicine Podcast, the core faculty (Dr. Scott Sherr, Dr. Ted Achacoso, Dr. Jup Kuipers, and Dr. Allen Bookatz) tackles one of the most misunderstood topics in modern nutrition: fiber. Moving past the mainstream trend of "fiber-maxing," the team breaks down the actual biochemical realities of how different forms of fiber interact with your unique gut microbiome. From the surprising hormonal impacts of over-consuming fiber to the rise of localized conditions, this roundtable shifts the conversation from generic dietary rules to precise, measurable, cellular data. Join us as we delve into: The Classification of Fiber: Understanding the biological differences between soluble fiber (which breaks down into calories) and insoluble fiber (which adds bulk to stool). The Fiber Maxing Trap: Why forcing massive amounts of psyllium husk, acacia powder, and green drinks can aggravate conditions like Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and IBS. The Estrogen Heist: The hidden clinical correlation between high-fiber diets (60g+ per day) and the cessation of menstruation (amenorrhea) in female athletes. Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs): The crucial roles of propionate, acetate, and butyrate as genetic signalers and the primary fuel source for your large intestine. The Gut as an Immune Organ: Why managing the "gut-associated lymphoid tissue" (GALT) forms the basis of roughly 80% of human immune system function. This episode is for you if: You are experiencing worsening gas, bloating, and discomfort despite eating a "clean, high-fiber" vegetarian or whole-food diet. You want to learn how to test your stool for real-time butyrate levels instead of relying on generic probiotic protocols. You want to understand how your unique gut ecosystem mirrors a complex, balancing rainforest.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Sarah Pederson, a holistic OBGYN and founder of Vera Health and Fertility, to explore a refreshing and deeply restorative approach to women's health and fertility. After years in traditional obstetrics and gynecology, Dr. Pederson recognized a gap in care, one that often prioritizes symptom management over true healing. That realization led her to build a practice centered on identifying and addressing root causes, helping women restore hormone balance and optimize fertility naturally. Together, we dive into the foundational role of nutrition, the power of continuous glucose monitoring, and the often-overlooked connection between gut health and reproductive function. This conversation challenges conventional fertility approaches and offers a hopeful, science-backed path forward for women seeking to understand their bodies more deeply. Dr. Pederson's journey from conventional OBGYN to holistic care Why a root-cause approach is essential for hormone balance and fertility The “Six Pillars” of hormone health: diet, sleep, exercise, stress, weight, and mindset/spirituality How nutrition, especially protein intake and breakfast timing, impacts hormones The hidden effects of sugar and artificial sweeteners on inflammation and fertility How Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) provide personalized insights into metabolic health The connection between gut health and reproductive function A look into Restorative Reproductive Medicine and how it differs from conventional fertility treatments Key Takeaways 1. Fertility starts with foundational health Dr. Pederson emphasizes that true hormone balance begins with lifestyle: what we eat, how we sleep, how we manage stress, and how we care for our bodies as a whole. 2. Food is powerful data Using tools like CGMs allows women to see in real-time how their body responds to certain foods empowering personalized, effective changes. 3. Gut health matters more than you think Underlying gut dysfunction and inflammation can significantly impact fertility, and addressing these issues can lead to profound outcomes. 4. Healing over bypassing Unlike conventional approaches that may override the body's natural processes, restorative reproductive medicine works to heal and support the body—leading to healthier pregnancies and long-term outcomes.

Der Staat sollte sich viel weniger einmischen und die Zügel locker lassen, weil nur ein schwacher Staat ein guter Staat ist, davon ist der Philosoph Konrad Paul Liessmann überzeugt. Ein Podcast von Pragmaticus.Das Thema:Wider die Bevormundung und für die Freiheit der Gedanken, und zwar Gedanken aller Art: Konrad Paul Liessmann will sich nicht gängeln lassen, schon gar nicht vom Staat. Dieser, so ist er überzeugt, mischt sich heutzutage ohnehin in viel zu viele Bereiche des Lebens ein.Besonders empört ihn, wenn der Staat Meinungen bestimmt und Vorschriften macht. Denn das schränkt für ihn als Bürger die Freiheit ein, und Freiheit ist schließlich das höchste Gut.Ist der Mensch überhaupt ein rationales Wesen? In diesem Podcast erklärt Liessmann, warum er gegen den Wohlfahrtsstaat ist, wie er sich das Leben in einem gemeinsamen Land vorstellt und was das alles mit Immanuel Kant, Baruch Spinoza und John Stuart Mill zu tun hat. Liessmann rechtfertigt auch, warum er in gewissen Belangen reaktionär sein will. Wenn es um die Bildung geht, sollte man sich an die alten Griechen halten, denn sie hätten bereits alle Grundlagen dafür gelegt, Situationen richtig einschätzen zu können. Grundlagen statt Meinung, sagt er.Unser Gast in dieser Folge: Konrad Paul Liessmann ist Philosoph und lehrte von 1995 bis zu seiner Emeritierung 2023 an der Universität Wien. Er ist Autor zahlreicher Bücher. Liessman ist neben Barbara Bleisch Intendant des Philosophicum Lech, das in diesem Jahr unter dem Motto „Bevormundetes Denken“ steht.Dies ist ein Podcast von Der Pragmaticus.

For most people, donor eggs is at the bottom of the list. It is not where you wanted to land. And if your clinic is recommending it, something in you is saying there has to be more to look at first. Here is what we see every week. The donor egg recommendation rarely arrives after a complete workup. It arrives after looking at the AMH, the FSH, the follicle count, maybe a basic semen analysis, and maybe being told your TSH is normal. Those numbers are real. The diagnosis is real. What gets called complete is the question. This episode is the 11 specific things we most often find skipped before the recommendation gets made. Pull it up. Take notes. Bring it to your next appointment. The 11 patterns: 1. Thyroid, the full panel, not just TSH 2. The gut, including H. pylori 3. Hidden food sensitivities 4. Medications you are already on that affect fertility 5. The vaginal microbiome 6. The seminal microbiome 7. The male partner's full bloodwork 8. Sperm DNA fragmentation 9. Vaginal and seminal cross-contamination between partners 10. The nervous system and HPA axis 11. Liver function and hormone clearance These are the tests that sit outside the standard fertility workup. A 2024 study in Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics found that ovarian reserve markers like AMH do not significantly predict natural conception in women with regular cycles. The donor egg recommendation comes from one snapshot, not the full investigation. If this is the first episode you have landed on in this series, go back and listen to "Told Donor Eggs Are Your Only Option? Ask This First," then "How Long Should I Try With My Own Eggs Before Donor Eggs?" then "The Gut Findings Your Clinic Did Not Look For," and "Multiple Failed IVF And Told Donor Eggs?" This episode brings all of it together. WHAT YOUR CLINIC MISSED The companion guide walks through all 11 of these patterns in more detail, so you can take it to your next appointment and ask the questions. Email hello@fabfertile.ca, subject line MISSED, and we will send you the guide. FUNCTIONAL FERTILITY SECOND OPINION A free 45-minute call where I review your labs, your history, and your partner's results with you. You leave knowing what your biology has been telling you and what your next decision could be. Email hello@fabfertile.ca, subject line FERTILE, or book here. ABOUT THE HOST I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally, a podcast with over one million downloads. My functional fertility team works with couples navigating low AMH and failed IVF, reviewing functional lab results, gut microbiome, food sensitivity, vaginal microbiome, nutrigenomics, HTMA, DUTCH, toxin testing, and bloodwork alongside nervous system work, to help identify patterns that may not have been considered.

Deb 00:00:01Imagine your body has a repair manual, instructions written in your cells that tell tissues how to heal, blood vessels, how to grow, and inflammation when to stop. But what if those instructions got lost somewhere along the way? Well, today I’m talking about peptides, tiny protein fragments that act like biological text messages. Two of them, BPC 157 and TB 500.They’re showing remarkable promise for gut repair, joint recovery, and tissue regeneration. But here’s what nobody’s telling you. Women respond differently to these healing signals, especially during hormonal transitions. And today, we’re uncovering the science behind these regenerative peptides, who actually needs them, and why your doctor might not know about them. Can you guys put our ad right in here and then I’ll go to the standard intro?Welcome back to Let’s Talk Wellness Now, the show where we uncover the root causes of chronic illness, explore cutting edge regenerative medicine, and empower you with the tools to heal. I’m Dr. Deb, your medical detective. And today we’re diving into regenerative peptides BPC157 and TB 500. If you or someone you love is struggling with slow recovery from injury, chronic joint pain, gut inflammation that just won’t quit, or you just feel like your body doesn’t bounce back the way it used to, this episode is for you. Grab a cup of coffee or tea or whatever helps you unwind, settle in, and let’s start you on your journey to deeper healing. We’ll do another sponsor break here. Deb 00:01:52So let’s start with the question I hear constantly in my practice. Dr. Deb, I’m doing everything right. I’m eating clean, I’m exercising, I’m taking my supplements, but I’m still not healing. What am I missing? Well, that answer might surprise you. Sometimes it’s not about what you’re putting in your body. It’s about whether your cells are actually receiving the repair signals they need. That’s where peptides come in. Think of peptides as The body’s original communication system. These short chains of amino acids are like biological post-it notes carrying instructions from one cell to another. They tell your human system when to calm down, your blood vessels when to grow and your tissues when to repair. Now here’s where it gets interesting for women specifically. We know that estrogen plays a massive role in collagen production, vascular health, inflammatory response. When estrogen starts declining, whether that’s perimenopause, postpartum, or even from chronic stress, our natural repair mechanisms slow down dramatically. You might notice it as my joints are aching more, I’m a little more fluid filled, you know, they hurt when I bend them, my injuries take twice as long to heal.Gut issues that suddenly appear out of nowhere and no matter what you do, they don’t seem to repair. Skin has lost its elasticity or just this general sense that your body isn’t keeping up anymore. This is where BPC 157 and TB 500 entered the picture. So BPC 157, short for body protection compound 157, is a naturally occurring peptide sequence found in your gastric juices. And according to a 2024 systemic review published in emerging use of BPC 157 in orthopedic sports medicine, this peptide promotes something called angiogenesis. That’s the formation of new blood vessels and they deliver oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues. Now TB 500 is a synthetic fragment of thymus and beta-4. Deb 00:04:17A protein your body makes naturally during wound healing and research published in therapeutic peptides in orthopedics in 2025 shows that it works like a cellular first responder rushing to injury sites and coordinating tissue repair through a process called actin regulation. But here’s what makes these peptides different from just taking another supplement. They don’t force your body to do anything.They simply remind yourselves how to heal the way they used to. And for women navigating hormonal changes, autoimmune flares, chronic inflammatory conditions, that distinction matters enormously. all right, let’s get into some of these mechanisms because understanding how something works helps you make informed decisions about whether or not it’s right for you. So,Let’s look at the science. Do these peptides actually work? And if so, how do they work? Let’s start with BPC 157. This works through multiple pathways simultaneously. First, it activates growth factor receptors that stimulate fibroblasts. Those are the cells responsible for making collagen and rebuilding connective tissue. And according to research published in Frontiers and Pharmacology in 2023, titled Regeneration or Risk, BPC 157 also modulates nitric oxide signaling, which enhances vascular repair and reduces oxidative stress at the cellular level. So this is really important because many of us are nitric oxide deficient, especially as we get older, especially since the pandemic, we’re seeing a lot of people being more deficient in nitric oxide and you’re taking nitric oxide, many of you, to help with this process. But if we’re having other issues that don’t allow that nitric oxide to get where it needs to go, that could render it completely useless. So in plain English, when we’re talking about how BPC 157 helps the blood vessels work better and protects your mitochondria, big word for your energy factories and your cells from that inflammatory damage. Deb 00:06:38Now there’s studies in musculoskeletal and gastroenterology models that show BPC157 decreases inflammatory cytokines like TNF-alpha and IL-6. And these are chemical messengers that keep inflammation turned on. So by dialing them down, BPC157 creates an environment where healing can actually happen. Now, where do we know about this?TNFL and IL-6, well, we know it from viruses, we know it from Lyme disease, we know it from mold toxicity. These cytokines are turned up, they’re creating a massive inflammatory response in the body, and you’re struggling to get these things down because of that or potentially other reasons. So here’s where it gets really interesting with women in perimenopause or menopause. When estrogen declines, collagen synthesis slows down. And that’s why we see increased joint pain, slower wound healing, and our changes in the skin’s elasticity during this transition. We see the little wrinkles, the fine lines, we see the subcutaneous fat going away a little bit more. This is partially why this is occurring. And so from research shown in the Journal of Orthopedic Research in 2023 by Leibowitz and colleagues, that they suggest that BPC157 affects on the endothelial layers. So the cells lining the blood vessels and these may mimic some of the estrogen’s protective vascular effects without actually affecting your hormone levels. This is really huge because we know that as women lose estrogen, they have a higher risk for vascular events, heart attack, stroke, things like that. And if people have already had a heart attack or a stroke, We typically recommend that they don’t use estrogen because that could potentiate the risk for another heart attack or a stroke. But that means that you don’t gain the benefits of estrogen either. So if we think about this, we could potentially use BPC 157 to give us some of the benefits that we lost from having estrogen and potentially not being able to use estrogen. And that would be huge for us. Deb 00:08:57And not to mention the reduction of inflammation and the joint pain and the wound healing and the energy and the gut feelings. I mean, there’s just so many benefits to BPC 157 that we could talk about them all day long. But we’ve got to move on. So let’s talk about TB 500. Now this peptide works very differently. Its primary job is promoting cell migration, essentially telling repair cells to go to this spot and what to do when they get there. So it sends a signal, puts a little post-it stamp there and says, Hey, when you get there, fix A, B, C, and D. And there was a study in 2024 in cell biology international that demonstrated that TB 500 increases epithelial closure and improves tendon elasticity in models of repetitive strain injury. So let’s think about that a little bit. What does that really mean?That means faster recovery from exercise induced muscle damage, better healing of overuse injuries like tennis elbow or plantar fasciitis, improved scar tissue remodeling after surgery or a C-section, enhanced recovery from chronic inflammatory conditions affecting soft tissues. And I’ve talked about this several times. I have used these compounds post-surgical personally.And I remember going back to see my surgeon at the two to three week mark for follow-up. And she was amazed at how well everything was healing. And when I asked her if she wanted to know what I was doing, her response was no, but keep doing whatever you’re doing because it’s working. And after three weeks of a major pelvic repair surgery that I had, four hours in surgery, lots of sutures, not comfortable. I was actually walking a mile and didn’t have pain and I was recovering really well and felt amazing. And that is just not typically heard of in surgical procedures like mine. It’s usually a minimum of a six to eight week recovery before you’re starting to do that again. And I give all of the credit to these two peptides. Deb 00:11:17In my clinical practice, I see this play out constantly. Women who train hard, whether that’s CrossFit, running, yoga, or just trying to keep up with active kids, often hit a wall where their recovery can’t keep up pace with their activity level. And TB 500 helps to bridge that gap by optimizing the body’s natural repair timeline. But here’s what I want to emphasize with you. These peptides aren’t magic bullets.They work best when we combine them with proper nutrition and anti-inflammatory diet, adequate sleep, stress management, and we address the underlying root cause like the gut dysfunction or those hormonal imbalances. And they work much better when the hormones are balanced versus when they’re not. They’re amplifiers of your body’s existing healing capacity, not replacements for foundational health practices.So let’s have some real talk here. Let’s talk about evidence and what you need to know about that. Let’s take a drink, sorry. Now let’s address the elephant in the room. Regulatory status and safety. Neither BPC 157 or TB 500 are FDA approved for human medical use. They fall into a category called research compounds. And that means they’re legal to possess and use but they’re not approved as pharmaceutical drugs. And hopefully they will be back on our list of things to use relatively soon with the changes that Bobby Kennedy has made to peptides recently. So why does this matter? Because quality becomes a concern. Quality control is absolutely critical. You need to know where these compounds are manufactured, their source, their testing. their clarity, everything about them. There was a 2025 review in therapeutic peptides in orthopedics that concluded both peptides demonstrate strong regenerative signaling with minimal systemic side effects in preclinical studies. But, and this is really important, most of the robust data we have comes from animal models and cell culture models, not large scale human clinical trials. Deb 00:13:41Now that doesn’t mean that they don’t work. It just means that we are still in the early stages of understanding optimal dosing, treatment duration, and long-term effects in humans. So why do we have all of this great peptide information and we don’t quite have the ability to use them yet, or it’s extremely restricted?That comes under the guise of the FDA. came through the past administration with Biden where he removed a bunch of these peptides from the market. Both BPC and TB 500 were on the list of safe peptides to use before Biden made his changes. And it looks like they may be coming back relatively quickly for us here. So what we do have is growing clinical feedback from practitioners like myself. Who use these peptides in practice under careful supervision and under pilot studies on musculoskeletal recovery published in our organizations that we work with. So all of our information is documented and it is done under an observational study. There are other studies published in orthopedic and biomedical research from 2025.that actually found VPC-157 reduced pain scores by 35 % and improved functional mobility within eight weeks. This is really phenomenal because many people over the age of 40 are reaching for the Tylenol bottle, the Advil bottle, the Aleve bottle, which does a number on your kidneys and your gut and your liver. And it is really problematic to be using these things on a regular basis.And if we can use a compound that’s safe, that preserves the kidneys, the liver and the gut, why don’t we do that is the question that I have. Now, we see a lot of the same information in our clinic that we see in these studies. And it is the following things that we see. Significant reduction in joint pain and stiffness. I have a person that was looking at doing a knee replacement and we did 10 weeks of these two compounds. Deb 00:16:00And her knee pain reduced so much that she decided she didn’t feel like she needed that knee replacement right away, which is good because she is only 60 years old. And the length of that knee replacement wouldn’t be as long as it would if she could wait five or 10 years. The doctor didn’t say she needed to do it right away. She wasn’t that critical, but it was the pain that was driving her to the replacement. And so if we could preserve that and give her a reduction in pain, all the better to do that. We get faster recovery from surgical procedures, improved gut symptoms, especially in cases of leaky gut or inflammatory bowel conditions, better skin quality and wound healing, enhanced overall sense of resilience and recovery capacity. But here’s what you absolutely must know before considering peptide therapy. First, source matters. Because these aren’t FDA regulated pharmaceuticals, quality varies widely and you need to work with a physician who sources from compounding pharmacies 503A or 503B that provide certificates of analysis, third party testing and proper sterility verification. Secondly, context matters. Peptides work best as part of a comprehensive functional medicine approach. So if you’re still eating inflammatory foods, drinking alcohol, not managing your stress or your sleep, you have unaddressed gut dysfunction, and these peptides alone won’t fix those problems. Thirdly, realistic expectations matter. These aren’t overnight miracle cures. Most patients see gradual improvements over four to 12 weeks. Some respond dramatically, others see modest benefits. Individual variation is real. And fourth, medical supervision matters. Dosing, injection technique,monitoring for side effects and knowing when peptides are or are not appropriate. All of this requires clinical expertise. Now let me bust a few myths here because I hear this constantly. Myth number one, peptides are just for bodybuilders and athletes. That is false. While athletes use them for performance recovery, the therapeutic applications for chronic pain, gut healing and age related tissue decline are profound. Deb 00:18:26For everyday people. Myth number two, peptides will mess with my hormones. False. BPC-157 and TB-500 don’t interact with your endocrine system the way hormones do. They work through growth factors and cell signaling pathways. They are very different. Myth number three, if they’re not FDA approved, they must be dangerous. Not accurate.Many effective therapies exist in regulatory gray zones. What matters is quality sourcing, proper medical oversight, and informed consent. So the bottom line here is that these peptides show real promise backed by mechanistic science and growing clinical expertise, but they require responsible use, quality products, and realistic expectations. Now let’s talk about practical integration.Who should consider peptides? Well, so who actually benefits from the peptides? Let’s start there. Let me walk you through the three main categories I see. Number one is gut restoration. If you’re dealing with chronic gut inflammation, whether that’s IBS, inflammatory bowel disease, leaky gut, persistent digestive issues that haven’t responded to dietary changes alone, BPC 157 can be transformative.I had a patient recently, I’ll call her Sarah. She’s been struggling with severe gut pain and food sensitivities for three years. She tried elimination diets, probiotics, gut healing supplements, everything. And within six weeks of adding BPC 157 to her protocol, alongside the targeted nutritional therapy, her pain dropped by 70 % and she could tolerate foods that she hadn’t tolerated in years. Why does this happen? because BPC 157 directly supports mucosal integrity, the protective lining of your intestinal tract, and it reduces inflammatory cytokines and promotes healing of damaged tissue. Number two, muscle and joint recovery. This is where I see TB 500 shine. Women who are active, whether you’re a runner, a yogi, a cross-bitter, or someone who just wants to keep moving without pain. Deb 00:20:48They often hit a point where recovery becomes a very limiting factor. And maybe you’re dealing with chronic tendonitis, a nagging shoulder injury, a bad back that just will not quit, or just general achiness. It all makes you feel older and keeps you from being active the way you want to. TB 500 combined with therapies like red light therapy, PEMF, or targeted physical therapy, can dramatically accelerate soft tissue healing. I’ve seen recovery timelines cut in half for patients dealing with overuse injuries. Number three, menopausal transition support. This is where the intersection of peptides in women’s health gets really exciting. During perimenopause and menopause, declining estrogen affects collagen production, vascular health, and joint integrity, along with inflammatory processes and responses.Many women notice they just don’t heal as quickly and their joints hurt much more. Besides noticing their skin changes and their injuries linger longer. Low dose peptide protocols, often combining BPC157 for vascular and gut support with TB500 for soft tissue repair, can complement bioidentical hormone therapy or stand alone for women who can’t or don’t want to use hormones.Now I’m not saying that peptides replace your hormone optimization, but they can be powerful adjuncts that support tissue resilience during a time when your body’s natural repair mechanisms are shifting. Now, who should not use peptides? If you have any active cancer or a history of certain cancers, peptides that promote cell growth and angiogenesis might not be appropriate. If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, we don’t have safety data.If you have severe kidney or liver disease, clearance and metabolism could be affected. You want to work with a practitioner who really understands this and be under medical supervision for these kinds of conditions. This really matters. A qualified functional medicine practitioner can assess your individual situation, run appropriate labs and determine whether peptides fit into your overall healing strategy. Remember, peptides are tools. They’re not magic. Deb 00:23:11They work best when you’re also addressing nutrition, sleep, stress, movement, and underlying root causes. They amplify your body’s healing capacity. They don’t replace the fundamentals. This is really important to understand. So thank you for joining me today on Let’s Talk Wellness Now.

Was ist "Die Welt von …?" Wenn wir über Video- und Computerspiele sprechen, die entweder elaborat ausgestaltete eigene Welten mit Hintergrundgeschichten haben oder über solche, die ihre Welt aus Literatur, Rollenspiel oder Film borgen, nehmen wir uns zuweilen die Zeit und sprechen ausführlicher über Lore jener Welten als das in den regulären Folgen möglich wäre. Im Format Die Welt von… erkunden Rahel Schmitz und Mháire Stritter die Legenden, die Geografie, die Geschichte, die Politik von diesen fiktiven Welten und holen sich dabei von Fall zu Fall ergänzende Expertise von ausgewiesenen Kennern und Kennerinnen der jeweiligen Welt. Worum geht's: Die Welt von Alien ist kein klassisches Science-Fiction-Szenario mit klaren Fronten zwischen Gut und Böse, sondern ein düsteres, komplexes Geflecht aus technologischem Fortschritt, kapitalistischer Macht, biologischer Bedrohung und menschlicher Ohnmacht. Die Handlung spielt im 22. bis 25. Jahrhundert, in einer Zukunft, die von Megakonzernen wie der Weyland-Yutani Corporation dominiert wird. Diese Konzerne handeln mit Technologie, Kolonisierung und biologischen Waffen und opfern dabei bedenkenlos Menschenleben, um Profit zu sichern. Die politische Landschaft ist geprägt von einem zersplitterten Erd-Bund, der gegen die Interessen der Konzerne kämpft, während gleichzeitig abgelegene Kolonien und Frontier-Planeten im All existieren, die oft von Isolation, Armut und der ständigen Bedrohung durch außerirdische Lebensformen geprägt sind. Götter oder höhere Mächte existieren in dieser Welt nicht, stattdessen regieren Unternehmen Militärs und die unberechenbare Natur des Universums selbst. In dieser Folge erkunden Rahel und Mháire die Eigenheiten dieses Popkultur-Universum: seine politische Struktur, die Rolle von Technologie und Biowaffen, das Nebeneinander von wissenschaftlichem Fortschritt und archaischer Gewalt, sowie die bewusste Mehrdeutigkeit vieler Erzählungen. Es geht darum, wie Alien Weltenbau betreibt, warum sich das Universum je nach Standort völlig anders anfühlt und weshalb diese Franchise bis heute eine der dichtesten und faszinierendsten Sci-Fi-Welten der Computerspiel- und Filmgeschichte hervorgebracht hat. Gast: Diesmal kommt im Podcast neben den Sprecherinnen Felix Rick zu Wort, der als Redakteur bei GameStar arbeitet und sich seit 2002 als einer der profundesten Kenner der Alien-Lore einen Namen gemacht hat. Zuvor war er unter anderem für Giga Games und Gameswelt tätig und hat sich in unzähligen Artikeln, Analysen und Videos mit der Welt von Alien auseinandergesetzt.

Welcome to the latest Midlife Minute. Today, I'm taking a closer look at oral contraceptive use in perimenopause and menopause, exploring how oral contraceptives work, how they suppress or blunt perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms, alter hormone signaling and testing, what women may experience when they stop taking them, and why the gut microbiome is an essential part of the conversation. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How oral contraceptives suppress certain key signaling hormones, making it difficult to assess women's menopausal status accurately What women may experience when transitioning off oral contraceptives How long-term oral contraceptive use can alter gut microbial function and inflammatory pathways The association between long-term oral contraceptive use and nutrient depletion Why the standard reproductive hormone markers used to assess menopause (especially FSH/LH) are unreliable while on the pill How the microbiome changes that occur as women age may compound the effects of previous oral contraceptive use Helpful dietary, microbiome, and lifestyle strategies to support women navigating the post-pill transition Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website.

In this eye-opening conversation, Debi Robinson and Dr. John Neustadt expose a fundamental flaw in how we approach bone health: we've been focusing on bone density instead of actual fracture risk.Drawing from 20+ years of research and clinical practice, Dr. Neustadt reveals that only four nutrients have been proven in clinical trials to reduce fractures—calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K2 (MK-4 specifically), and magnesium. He challenges the one-size-fits-all approach to supplementation and explains why popular supplements like MK-7 and strontium fall short of their marketing claims.The episode deep-dives into why bone density tests are poor predictors of fracture risk, how supplement companies mislead consumers with marketing claims that don't align with clinical data, and the critical role of gut health, sleep, hormones, and lifestyle in fracture prevention.Most importantly, Debi and Dr. Neustadt provide actionable, evidence-based strategies that women can implement immediately to actually protect their bones—without fear-based messaging.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN✓ Why bone density scores are not reliable predictors of fracture risk✓ The 4 nutrients with clinical trial evidence for fracture reduction (and the doses that actually work)✓ Why MK-7 vitamin K2 doesn't improve bone strength (and why MK-4 does)✓ How to assess YOUR individual calcium needs (most women are over-supplementing)✓ The vitamin D target range for optimal fracture protection✓ Why strontium supplements mislead consumers (and the hidden risks)✓ The role of melatonin receptors in bone health and sleep deprivation's link to fractures✓ How gut health directly impacts bone strength✓ The importance of serotonin, melatonin, and the gut-bone axis✓ HRT and testosterone replacement as part of a comprehensive bone health strategy✓ How to evaluate supplement companies and ensure they have fracture outcome data✓ Red flags when choosing bone health supplements✓ The gap between conventional medicine's approach (DEXA + medication) and integrative bone health✓ Why doctors are confused about osteoporosis (and how to advocate for yourself)ACTION STEPSGet your vitamin D tested. Aim for 30–44 ng/mL for optimal fracture protection (different from immune health recommendations).Assess your dietary calcium intake before adding supplements. If you're eating well, you may only need 400 mg as a supplement, not the standard 1,200 mg recommendation.Switch MK-7 supplements to MK-4. If you're taking a vitamin K2 supplement, verify it's MK-4 at 45 mg per day in divided doses. MK-7 doesn't reduce fractures.Check your supplement labels for strontium. If it's there, especially if the company markets it as "proven to improve bone density," consider switching to a formula without it.Prioritize gut health. Work with a practitioner to run stool tests if you have bloating, constipation, postnasal drip, or other GI symptoms. Gut inflammation accelerates bone loss.Track your sleep quality. Sleep deprivation is linked to 17% of fractures. If you're sleeping less than 6 hours nightly, prioritize this.Ask supplement companies the right questions:"Do you have fracture outcome data from clinical trials?""Will you provide a certificate of analysis showing purity and potency?""What guarantee do you offer?"Evaluate your medications. Check with your doctor: Are any of your current prescriptions contributing to bone loss?

The CPG Guys are joined in this episode by Doug VandeVelde, Chief Growth Officer at WK Kellogg Co, manufacturer of an iconic brand portfolio including Kellogg's Frosted Flakes®, Rice Krispies®, Froot Loops®, Kashi®, Special K®, Kellogg's Raisin Bran®, and Bear Naked®.Follow Doug on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/doug-vandeveldeFollow WK Kellogg Co online at: https://www.wkkellogg.com/Doug answered these questions:95% of Americans are missing their daily fiber, but nobody goes to a Super Bowl party looking for a "health lecture." Why was 2026 the specific moment you decided to use the world's loudest stage to talk about the "Fiber Gap"?Fiber has historically been marketed as a functional necessity for the "older" demographic. How are you using this campaign to pivot the narrative from a "health trend" to a "tasty daily routine" for everyone from Gen Z to Boomers?You partnered with Gary Vaynerchuk's team to bring humor and high-profile talent to a topic as "unsexy" as gut health. How do you, as a 25-year CPG veteran, balance the "legacy brand guardrails" of Kellogg's with the fast-paced, "attention-first" creative style of VaynerMedia?You chose a regional and streaming-first buy for the Big Game rather than a traditional national spot. As Chief Growth Officer, how did you justify the "reach vs. precision" trade-off to your board?Gut health can be clinical and boring. Talk to me about the decision-making process behind using humor. Does "funny" actually move units of Raisin Bran and Mini-Wheats, or is it just about winning the "Ad Meter" rankings?With a streaming-first approach, you have more data than a traditional TV buy. How is WK Kellogg using real-time signals from this campaign to adjust shelf-level execution in the weeks following the game?You've been in this game for over 25 years. What is the one "old school" CPG rule you had to break to make this 2026 Super Bowl campaign a reality?When you go big on a Super Bowl scale, the pressure on the supply chain is immense. How did the $500M modernization of your plants allow you to "lean in" to this demand spike in a way you couldn't have three years ago?Before the campaign went live, did you use AI-driven "attention analytics" or "predictive creative" tools to ensure the humor would land across different demographics, or was this a "gut-feel" (pun intended) decision?If this "Fiber Gap" campaign succeeds, you aren't just selling boxes of cereal—you're changing a category's trajectory. Is the future of WK Kellogg less about "Breakfast" and more about "Functional Wellness"?CPG Guys Website: http://CPGguys.comFMCG Guys Website: http://FMCGguys.comSheCOMMERCE Website: https://shecommercepodcast.com/Rhea Raj's Website: http://rhearaj.comLara Raj in Katseye: https://www.katseye.world/DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.

This is the conversation I have been waiting to have. If you are doing the breathwork, the meditation, the supplements, the protocols, and you are STILL feeling anxious, inflamed, bloated, and exhausted, this episode will explain why. My guest is Dr. Pedram Shojai, The Urban Monk. He is a New York Times bestselling author and a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, and the man who first came on this show talking about stress and the nervous system. Years later, after a wild full-circle moment in a group coaching call, we are back together to talk about what he is doing NOW: the connection between the nervous system and the oral and gut microbiomes. In this episode we connect every dot for the midlife woman who has been told she is fine. The stress-and-biome loop. Why your mouthwash may be sabotaging you.  If you have been guessing about your gut and oral health and throwing supplements at a problem you have never tested, this is your invitation to stop guessing. WE GO DEEP ON: •  The full-circle story from The Urban Monk to the microbiome •  Why nervous system work alone is not enough in midlife •  The stress + biome loop and how it makes anxiety, fog, and bloat worse •  Oral microbiome 101: what it is and why it matters for your gut, heart, and brain •  The everyday things women are doing that are wrecking their oral biome •  Why generic probiotics often do not work •  Gut testing and oral microbiome testing demystified •  Pedram's personal first steps after seeing his own data •  Your this-week starter plan: 3 things to stop, 3 things to start TIMESTAMPS: •  00:00 — Cold open: the full-circle story •  03:00 — Welcome + context for midlife women •  05:00 — From The Urban Monk to the microbiome (his journey) •  13:00 — The nervous system + biome loop •  21:00 — Oral microbiome 101 •  29:00 — Gut microbiome as the control center •  36:00 — Stop guessing, start testing •  42:00 — Pedram's own protocol •  48:00 — Biome + hormones + your starter plan + hope   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube   Learn More About Dr. Pedram Shojai Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/drpedramshojai/ Website ➜ http://midlifeconversations.com/oral    Thank you to our show sponsors:  MITOQ: Take control of healthy aging and longevity.

Discover 5 key autoimmune triggers hiding in your past. From COVID and herpes simplex to staph, Epstein-Barr, and strep infections, Nurse Doza breaks down how past infections can reprogram your immune system to attack your own tissue — and what gut health has to do with it all. Gut (L-Glutamine) by MSW Nutrition Gut, featuring 4 grams of pure L-Glutamine per scoop, is the primary fuel source for the cells that line your intestinal wall. When past infections, antibiotics, or chronic stress compromise your gut barrier, your immune system loses its most important line of defense — creating the conditions where autoimmune triggers thrive. Gut helps repair the gut lining, reduce digestive inflammation, and support the immune cells that depend on a healthy gut to function properly. Whether you're managing an existing autoimmune disorder or working to prevent one, healing your gut is where it starts.

Peptides are huge right now. Influencers are telling us they can work wonders for all sorts of stuff. Struggling with an annoying injury that won't heal?? Belly fat that's pissing you off? Low energy? Gut issues?? There's a peptide out there for you. People are buying peptides off the internet and injecting themselves with them, saying it's life changing. But away from the internet hype, there is actually a potential revolution happening in medicine around peptides. So we're finding out what scientists are excited about here, and we look deeply at the science behind two massive peptides: BPC-157 and MOTS-c. And we'll also look at the risks: Could peptides give you cancer? On this episode we talk to Dr. Hassy Cohen, Dr. Keith Baar, Dr. Dhruv Khullar and Dr. Cory Mayfield to get to the bottom of this.

No vegetables, no fruit, no fiber, no carbs. Then he tested everything. His cholesterol numbers would have sent most doctors into a panic. His total cholesterol hit 434. His LDL hit 350. But when one of the world's top heart surgeons reviewed the full panel, the verdict was clear: his cardiovascular risk had actually improved. Then the gut results came in. After 90 days of zero plants and zero fiber, his gut microbiome diversity went up. Not down. Up. In this episode, Ben walks through everything: the adaptation period, the body composition changes, the full blood work breakdown with board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia, the gut microbiome reveal with Dr. Will DiPaolo and Dr. Daniel Pompa, and what the science actually says about cholesterol, red meat, and the human body. If you've ever been told that saturated fat will kill you, that LDL is the enemy, or that you need fiber to have a healthy gut, this episode will make you question all of it. Key takeaways: Lost 16 pounds and 6% body fat in 60 days Heart rate variability, sleep quality, and glucose all improved Triglyceride-to-HDL ratio hit 1.0, a marker of near-zero insulin resistance Gut diversity, keystone bacteria, and core bacteria all increased on zero plants LDL on its own is one of the worst predictors of actual cardiovascular risk Find All The Ben Azadi Show Sponsorship Deals ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals Learn more about your ad choices.
