This episode was recorded at the 2025 Florida Ruminant Nutrition Symposium. Dr. Baumgard begins with an overview of his presentation, “Importance of gut health to drive animal performance and health.” He notes the metabolic and inflammatory fingerprint of all stressors is essentially the same, indicating they likely all emanate from the gut. Overall, we're gaining a better understanding of how typical on-farm stressors negatively influence gut barrier function. He thinks the most likely mechanism of leaky gut is the immune cell known as a mast cell. When an animal or human is stressed, the enteric nervous system releases corticotropin-releasing factor, which binds to the mast cell, the mast cell degranulates, and the former contents of the mast cell (TNF-alpha, proteases, histamine, etc.) causes the gut to become leaky. (4:20)Once the GI tract barrier becomes compromised, antigens like lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can infiltrate, stimulating the immune system. Immune activation causes loss of appetite much like any other infection. The gut heals fairly quickly upon removal of the stressor(s), and the gut can also acclimate to stress such that the early stages of a stress event are more severe than later stages. Strategies to combat leaky gut remain scarce, and there is no silver bullet. There are a variety of dietary strategies to target the gut permeability issue itself. Another approach would be to bind pathogens or curb their proliferation at the membrane of the small intestine. (7:06)Dr. Neiehues asks if an antihistamine would work on gut mast cells the way it does in other body systems. Dr. Baumgard isn't sure that's ever been looked at, although there have been some studies in pigs using a product targeted to prevent mast cell degranulation. Dr. Nelson wonders if we should interfere in some of these processes because they're obviously there for a reason. Panelists discuss stress events related to parturition and transition, particularly for first-calf heifers. Dr. Baumgard notes that stacking stressors on top of one another compromises an animal's ability to tolerate stress. (9:28)We know stress can cause ulcers in humans and horses - what about ruminants? Dr. Baumgard thinks it is likely that it's happening, but we aren't looking for it. Few animals who die on-farm do receive a thorough postmortem exam. It could also be that these types of insults to the gut are not visible to the naked eye. (19:11)Dr. Nelson asks what makes some cows, despite all the challenges, able to be up and milking 150 pounds a day in no time after calving. What makes them unique? Dr. Baumgard lists some possibilities, including lower pathogenic inflammation than other cows, less tissue trauma damage to the uterus during calving, and lower sensitivity to immune activation. The panel disagrees with the notion that high-producing cows are stressed. (23:16)Dr. Niehues and Dr. Baumgard trade stories of experiments where cows maintained production even with high stress and inflammatory markers. The panel goes on to discuss subclinical infections and their impact on transition cows. Dr. Nelson notes there are retrospective datasets where cows who had metritis showed decreased feed intake even before calving. Dr. Baumgard feels that the decrease in intake has been incorrectly assumed to be the cause of the metritis. He says the decrease in intake is often around two weeks before calving and he doesn't think it's a coincidence that at the same time, the mammary gland is initiating lactogenesis. He hypothesizes the mammary gland is causing an immune response, resulting in a decrease in intake. Dr. Nelson wonders if measuring somatic cell counts of colostrum would show any differences in mammary gland inflammation during this prepartum period.

I've shared so much over the years about my boys' healing journeys. About the years of struggle, battling every symptom that made us feel like something was wrong but no one could give us answers. The unhealthy poops, the rashes, the constant restless sleep, the allergies, the speech delays, the meltdowns and behavioral struggles that left us questioning everything. And how, through it all, rebalancing their guts didn't just completely heal their bodies... It changed our entire lives. It changed me as a mother, and as a woman.But one part of the story I haven't told enough… is my husband Ty's.When we first started rebalancing our family, it wasn't just about the kids. Ty was quietly carrying decades of symptoms that, at the time, felt totally normal.He grew up as a competitive swimmer which meant constant chlorine exposure, chronic ear infections and round after round of antibiotics, year after year. Then came the teenage acne, the Accutane, the antidepressants, and the sleeping medications. The list just kept growing.It wasn't until we adopted a microbiome lifestyle (the one that healed out boys) that everything finally started to make sense for Ty. The decade of addiction, anxiety, depression, the constant food cravings, and the feeling that he was never fully present in his own body… it all traced back to the same root. Gut health touches every single part of who we are.This week, Ty is joining me on the podcast for a raw, vulnerable conversation about his journey. We're diving deep into his past, and how for the first time in his life, he's living medication-free and thriving.If you've ever wondered how your childhood exposures, gut health, or even your own microbiome might be influencing your mental health, your cravings, your hormones, or your child's health… this episode is for you.Coming from a man who was very skeptical in the beginning, someone who questioned whether any of this could really heal our boys, let alone change his own life, his story is living proof that it absolutely can. P.S. This might be THE episode to sit down and listen to with your partner, especially if they are on the fence about all of this microbiome talk.

“An interdisciplinary approach to medicine is probably the way the future is going to go. There will be dieticians and a whole host of different people involved in helping someone to heal.” —Jonathan Carp For too long, we've been told that health comes in a medicine bottle or a doctor's office, but what if the real power lies in the food we choose every day? If you've ever felt frustrated by quick fixes that don't last or wondered how to make healthy changes that actually stick, you're not alone—and this episode is for you. Dr. Jonathan Carp is a board-certified dermatologist and the founder of Miracle Noodle, a company born from his passion for using nutrition and lifestyle to transform health. With years of experience helping patients and building a wellness brand, he's on a mission to make healthy eating accessible, enjoyable, and truly life-changing. Tune in as Justine and Dr. Carp break down the myths about comfort food, reveal how small changes can lead to big results, and share real stories of healing, grit, and the surprising joy of eating well. Meet Jonathan: A Dermatologist since 2000, Dr. Jonathan Carp started Miracle Noodle in 2006. In 2004, he had a patient who healed herself from lupus through nutritional and lifestyle modification. Since then, he has treated hundreds of patients through lifestyle modification, especially nutritional changes, with a special interest in auto-immune diseases. This has turned into a nutritional obsession that led to his learning about the health benefits of the konjac plant. While he still practices medicine, a significant amount of time is now also devoted to Miracle Noodle and exploring and testing healthy, healing food options based on traditional cultural diets. Dr. Carp firmly believes that all that ails us in the world today could be solved by going back a few generations and making sure that the nutritional wisdom of our ancestors is remembered and combined with the latest science. While Miracle Noodle keeps him busy, it has allowed him the resources to investigate and learn about the nutritional wisdom of the world and how to get products and knowledge out to the world through his patients and his companies.

Dr. Reid shares her personal journey from struggling to help her daughter's autism diagnosis, to uncovering the pervasive presence of glutamate in our food supply—and how it's fueling America's obesity and chronic disease crisis. With her unique perspective as both a scientist and a mom, she exposes the science behind MSG, the tactics of the food industry, and how excess free glutamate is wreaking havoc on our metabolic health, mental well-being, and even our addictive behaviors. Coach Allan and Dr. Reid break down the science in a way that's easy to understand, offering practical steps and empowering advice, including Dr. Reid's own REID Diet principles for reducing inflammatory and excitatory foods.

Hey Heal Squad! We're continuing our theme this week of gut, brain, and emotional healing with this week's throwback with triple board certified physician, Dr. Zach Bush! We knew this was the perfect time to bring back one of our favorite episodes to revisit this week. Dr. Zach doesn't just talk about symptoms, he gets to the real root of disease: disconnection. Disconnection from our bodies, our relationships, our food, our purpose, and even the Earth itself. He shares how trauma, toxins, gut health, and isolation all play a role in why we're sick, PLUS how healing starts when we finally begin to reconnect on every level. Get ready to shift your perspective on health completely. We talk about the power of nature, the soul-body connection, and why your body isn't broken (it's just been overwhelmed). If you're craving deeper healing and ready to get to the why behind what you're feeling… you don't want to miss this one! -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Join the In-Person Heal Retreat: https://www.canyonranch.com/stay/events/heal-retreat-with-maria-menounos/?location=lenox GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zachbushmd/ Website: https://zachbushmd.com/ ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.

In this episode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Mike Belkowski sits down with Dr. Chris Motley, a renowned expert in frequency-based medicine and vibrational health. The conversation dives deep into how the body communicates through electrical and energetic signals, and how emotions, pathogens, and toxins disrupt these natural frequencies—ultimately impacting mitochondrial function, chronic illness, and overall health.Dr. Motley introduces the concept of biological resonance, where the body either syncs or falls out of harmony with its environment. He shares how frequency diagnostics and therapies—like sound therapy, Rife frequencies, and muscle testing—can help uncover and treat hidden imbalances. Together, they explore the Eastern and Western integration of medicine, highlighting the importance of energy meridians, the liver's role in mitochondrial signaling, and how emotions like fear and anger are stored in organ systems.Key topics include:• The connection between mitochondrial dysfunction and trapped emotional energy• How pathogens like Lyme and mold distort biological frequency• Why liver and gallbladder imbalances often precede systemic mitochondrial stress• The use of vibrational therapies, including tuning forks and lasers, in clinical healing• The role of frequencies in detoxification, trauma healing, and bioenergetic coherenceThis episode is a fascinating blend of ancient wisdom and cutting-edge science, offering listeners a fresh lens through which to view energy, health, and longevity. If you found the information in today's episode with Dr. Chris Motley particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge. Sharing is caring :)As always, light up your health! - Key Quotes from Dr. Chris Motley: “Mitochondria are like antennas. They pick up signals from pathogens, food, and emotions.

It's painful seeing so much sickness and ill-health. And one of the big reasons for so much sickness is the pain so many people's guts are in. IBS, Chron's disease and ulcerative colitis are becoming more common for more people, and tragically as young as 6 months old. This episode is a true gut health masterclass , with someone who really knows his gut stuff and is having real clinical success with real people, Josh Dech.Josh Dech is a Holistic Nutritionist and IBD specialist who believes that doctors often miss the mark by simply prescribing medication that masks symptoms. He advocates for functional medicine, focusing on addressing the root causes of health issues rather than just treating the symptoms. With his Gut 911 approach, Josh aims to heal the gut, rebuild the microbiome, and restore freedom to his clients' lives by addressing the underlying causes of digestive diseases like Crohn's and Colitis. His success in reversing these conditions led him to partner with medical clinics across the country, and he now shares his expertise as a medical lecturer for the Priority Health Academy, teaching doctors to implement his approach. Josh's extensive background includes being a Physician's Consultant for IBD and IBS, a former paramedic, and the Scientific Strategist and Education Director for the Root Cause For Crohn's and Colitis Foundation.Join us as we explore:What is at the root of the continuous rise of gut imbalance conditions like Chron's and colitis, and why the North American population has over 50% of the GLOBAL cases of serious gut disease.How it's possible to cure - YES CURE - the most serious of gut imbalance in just 16 weeks by following Josh's Gut 911 approach.The three reasons you get gut disease, the three ways to treat, reverse and cure them and the specific detox protocols and tools Josh finds success with.How detoxing as principle is woefully misunderstood, leading to worse symptoms and outcomes.The difference between IBD and IBS, and why Josh doesn't believe a specific diagnosis between IBD, IBS, Chron's or colitis is critical to treating, reversing and curing it.Why your gut health is about a lot more than what you eat.Contact:Website: https://gutsolution.ca/aboutInstagram: @joshdech.healthSupport the showFollow Steve's socials: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTube | Facebook | Twitter | TikTokSupport the show on Patreon:As much as we love doing it, there are costs involved and any contribution will allow us to keep going and keep finding the best guests in the world to share their health expertise with you.

Are you ready to tackle the unique challenges of wellness after 40? In this empowering episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck hosts a comprehensive Q&A explicitly designed for women navigating midlife. From boosting energy to balancing hormones and thriving through menopause, Jenn covers it all, starting with a deep dive into key hormones like estrogen and progesterone and how they affect weight loss, energy, and fat distribution.Jenn explores the realities of menopause and perimenopause, including changes to the menstrual cycle, shifts in fertility, and the importance of protein for muscle and bone health. You'll learn how phytoestrogens may offer symptom relief, how gut health and the parasympathetic nervous system impact mood and nutrient absorption, and how better sleep can help reduce brain fog and fatigue. Whether you're adjusting your routine or looking for expert-backed tips to feel your best, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you navigate midlife with confidence and clarity.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss in real life, clearing up myths, misinformation, and bad science surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: (01:19) Jenn shares her professional relationship with Christine(06:13) Jenn discusses estrogen, progesterone, fat removal and weight management(13:07) How age affects menopause, menstrual cycle, fertility and estrogen levels(19:45) What is the role of protein over 40, and how to maintain muscle and bone health(25:36) Discussion of hormones to support weight loss, energy, and phytoestrogens(30:46) Your gut, nutrient absorption, and the parasympathetic nervous system(36:24) Improving sleep quality and managing fatigue and brain fog. What about nap time(42:17) Discussion of signs and treatments for menopausal symptoms and supplements(48:13) Common health risks for women in their late 30s and 40s, and related medical tests(51:39) What ingredients are most effective for aging skin, adjusting the skin care routine(57:50) Reducing fine lines, wrinkles and age spotsKEY TAKEAWAYS:The challenge with weight loss after age 40 is primarily due to the decline of estrogen and progesterone production, which reduces insulin sensitivity, impairs sleep, and alters fat distribution, making fat removal (not just weight loss) slower and more difficult. Sustainable fat loss prioritizes health over rapid results.Low estrogen and progesterone levels can impact mood, sleep, and appetite, leading to an increased desire for comfort foods. Phytoestrogens (e.g., wild yam, black cohosh) and fiber-rich foods (e.g., cruciferous vegetables) support hormone metabolism and mood stability.Women over 40 need ~1 gram of protein per pound of body weight daily (4-6 ounces per meal, 2-3 ounces per snack) to maintain muscle and bone health. Resistance training, weight-bearing exercise, and minerals (e.g., magnesium) are critical.Low estrogen levels can cause skin dryness and wrinkles. Hydration, vitamin C, retinol, and hyaluronic acid improve skin appearance. Consistent skincare routines (cleanse, tone, treat, moisturize) reduce the appearance of age and Gua Sha massage may reduce menopausal symptoms like hot flashes.QUOTES: (06:25) "There is fast weight loss at any age, provided you don't care how long it lasts or what happens to your health." - Jenn Trepeck(08:20) "Estrogen, the presence of estrogen and increased estrogen when we're younger in life, keeps us more insulin sensitive. It keeps us more metabolically fit." - Jenn Trepeck(21:27) "We want to aim for a gram of protein for every pound of body weight." - Jenn Trepeck(27:01) "We have less wiggle room. That estrogen was our cushion and when you eliminate the cushion, you've got less wiggle room." - Jenn Trepeck(31:00) “Bottom line, your gut is responsible for nutrient absorption and communicating all over the body.” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramHormones and Body Composition (feat.

In this episode I explain how your vagus nerve—an extensive neural pathway linking your brain and body in both directions—powerfully regulates your mood, digestion, alertness and even certain food cravings, and I explain how you can activate certain vagus nerve pathways to improve your heart rate variability (HRV), a key marker of health and longevity. I also explain how to control vagal pathways to enhance your focus and alertness to improve learning and neuroplasticity. And I explain how your vagus nerve controls levels of serotonin in both your gut and brain, impacting your mood and emotional resilience and how to keep that pathway robust.
