Check out today's questions:    Shelly: Hello. Could you explain the long term effects of using Benadryl especially with the gut? I have been using this for so many years due to sleep issues which I believe is due to histamine issues.   Terese: Hello and thank you ahead of time for all that you all do. I was diagnosed about 7 years ago with MAC. I did listen to your podcast on lung issues which was helpful but in wondering if you have anything additional to ask to help. I am presently using a nebutilizer with colloidal silver. Wondering if you have helped clients before with Mac. I do not want to do the antibiotic protocol that they have for 15 months with three high-powered antibiotics a day as I know that will wreck the immune system. The bacteria in my lungs has grown the past 3 years. I work part-time M 69 years old and take a low dose of Lisinopril for blood pressure as well. I am 165 lb and in 5 ft 10. I work part-time in my own gardening business but get tired and wear out faster than what I would like.   Ify: Hello Dr. Cabral. Thank you for everything you do. I wish I had submitted this question when I first found you but I'm okay with the wait. I have had hyperthyroidism for a number of years now and I have had scans confirming it is caused by graves disease. After being on Tapazole for 2 years and a bit I was advised to take radioactive iodine but decided that wasn't for me and ended up taking herbal teas to mitigate my symptoms. I had decided I wasn't damaging my liver anymore and got off my drugs. Since then my symptoms have been non-existent, resting hear rate averaging 80-90 BPM, no sweating or shaking or any expected symptoms. My new endo says I'm still hyper with THS at

In January, Massachusetts launched the Behavioral Health Help Line. It's a key part of the state's Roadmap for Behavioral Health Reform project, and aims to provide a so-called “front door” to mental health care, connecting callers with both crisis and longer term resources. Boston Globe Reporter Felice Freyer joins The Common to discuss the first six months of the system's rollout, its successes and where improvements are still needed.

Long-COVID: Could Supporting Gut Health Help? Supporting Long COVID through Harnessing the Gut with a Functional Medicine Approach In this episode of "The Hashimoto's Doctor Podcast", we're diving into the topic of Long COVID and how a special type of medicine called functional medicine might help. We'll focus on the connection between the tiny living things in our digestive tracts (gut microbiota) and Long COVID, and explain how a healthy gut might be really important for our overall health, especially after getting over a SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) infection. First off, we'll try to define Long COVID and share some shocking facts about how many people it affects. Then, we'll chat about some theories on what might cause Long COVID, like issues with the immune system, changes in the gut microbiota, autoimmune responses, problems with blood clotting, and messed up signals in the nervous system. We'll also dive deeper into why the gut microbiota is so important, and its different roles. We'll discuss gut dysbiosis, which is when the balance of the living things in our gut gets thrown off, and how it can make us more likely to get sick with respiratory diseases and mess with our immune response. We'll talk about how gut dysbiosis might play a part in Long COVID, especially its effects on the nervous system, and how inflammation can mess with the metabolism of an important substance called tryptophan. Next, we'll discuss how functional medicine may help fix the balance of the gut microbiota, using things like prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics, and why what we eat matters, including foods rich in polyphenols. We'll talk about how certain types of Bifidobacterium longum (a good bacteria in our gut) might help improve our health markers, and discuss exciting new treatments like microbiota transplantation. Come along on this journey as we look into how functional medicine might help manage Long COVID by focusing on our gut health. If you're curious about functional medicine, gut health, and how to manage Long COVID, this episode is a must-listen!   Check out the show notes for a list of literature references including summaries of each paper: https://drbradshook.com/long-covid-could-supporting-gut-health-help/  Facebook: The Office of Dr. Brad Shook, DC Support Group: Greater Hickory Thyroid Support Group | Facebook Instagram: Brad Shook, DC | Functional Medicine Practitioner (@drbradshook) | Instagram Youtube: Dr. Brad Shook | The Hashimoto's Doctor - YouTube Twitter: Brad Shook, DC (@shookdc) / Twitter More: About Dr. Shook | Best Resources Telemedicine: Application for Care - The Office of Dr. Brad Shook, DC (drbradshook.com)

How Does Your Gut Health Help You Exercise? You know that exercise is good for you but do you feel like exercising? What motivates some to exercise and others to skip it? Is there a deeper physiology than just mindset? The motivation behind exercise and playing physical games that work as exercise is poorly understood. I like walking playing, badminton, table tennis, swimming, and anything that keeps me moving outdoors. But how exactly is my gut helping?

With COVID exposing the cracks in our health system and the marginalisation of certain groups who are vulnerable to the virus, Jacques and Jennifer talk about a different approach led by the World Health Organisation that seems to have gone out of fashion.The WHO defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing, not just the absence of disease. Health and ill health are seen as happening in the communities where people live and work, and within the economic systems and natural ecosystems they are part of.Jacques and Jennifer suggest we properly resource a community-based, empowering approach to health, as developed by the WHO, that considers the environments and systems people are part of.Most immediately we need to work with marginalised communities to increase COVID vaccination before we open up. Otherwise the virus will certainly ‘rip through' these communities.

Cognitive decline is an all-too-familiar hallmark of age-related diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. While there is much research that focuses exclusively on functional changes in the brain, the so-called gut-brain axis - a connection between the digestive system and the central nervous system - also appears to play a pivotal role. It raises the question: Could nutritional interventions, to nurture the health of the gut microbiome, also help prevent or reverse age-related dementia? In 2018, Dr. Julie Andersen, a scientist at the Buck Institute for Research On Aging, in California, received a $3.8 million grant to explore the hypothesis. In this LLAMA podcast episode, Dr. Andersen discusses the work of her laboratory, and the idea that a gut metabolite, urolithin A, could play an important role in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Recorded: February 9, 2021 | Read a transcript and show notes at the LLAMA podcast website.Topics covered in this interview include:Working at the Buck Institute for Research On Aging - the only freestanding institute studying aging and age-related disease.A multi-disciplinary approach to aging research, embracing a range of diseases and mechanisms that drive-age related conditions. Evolving definitions of aging.Exploring autophagy, mitochondrial function, urolithin A and muscle health, in relation to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. The science and logic behind restoring an older person's gut microbiome to that of a younger person. Building on "exciting" clinical trials, by Amazentis, looking at the efficacy, in older humans, of Urolithin A, to enhance muscle function.Exploring the relatively new area of study known as the gut-brain axis.Explaining the scientific process, grants and clinical trials.How preliminary preclinical trial data suggests urolithin fed to mice may prevent cognitive loss associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Health Help At Home Challenge Day #2 Pillow Problems And PreventionDr.Krista Ryan: [00:00:00] Hello and welcome. I'm Dr. Krista Ryan with MissDoctorMom podcast, as well as YouTube channel. Today, we are so excited because you are on here and you are part of our 30 day challenge. And this challenge is about how can we transform our lives and the lives of our family by doing little things without changing diet and exercise.[00:00:22] So if you guys are watching this. Uh, YouTube channel, please like subscribe and share so that each and every one of your family members can get on here and can benefit from the information that we are going to be sharing. Last episode, we were talking about pillow height and why it's important. And how do you find the right pillow for you?[00:00:42] So if you haven't watched that episode, go back and watch it before you proceed with episode two, which is we are going to be talking about how do we use our pillow properly, um, and why pillow placement matters. And I know this is kind of a weird topic to get into right at the very, very beginning, but, um, a lot of us will get into[00:01:04] weird positions at night. And then we end up in a chiropractic office such as my office and just having a little bit of education can change all that for you and your family. So, um, the first time I came across. Or had my own sleeping positions. I was actually in chiropractic college and I didn't know the importance of sleeping positions.[00:01:26] And I didn't know the importance of actually having proper support when I slept at night. Um, and my first experience was with this was I used to have this down pillow, the down pillow had zero support. I used to have to scrunch it up under my neck and tried to find the right sleeping position. And it was always different every night.[00:01:43] Um, now when I was a baby, I was taught to sleep on my side and I just continued doing that for, um, I think the whole course of my life, although I have had positions where I'm sleeping on my back or my stomach. Now, when I implemented just creating a change with. The pillow that I was using, I went to this down pillow that had zero support to a chiropractic pillow, which had some height to it.[00:02:09] And it guys, it took me six months. So I'm not kidding. I, I threw it across the room. Uh, when I was sleeping, I had no idea I was doing that. WHen you start changing these things, you might not realize how important it is, but the end is worth it because I would never, ever. Ever go back to sleeping with a down pillow in the way that I was.[00:02:32] And because of that, I don't have this pain in my neck that corresponded with that time period in my life. I, I think I remember pain even as a child. Um, and after I got my pillow right, I haven't had neck pain since, and I will get it. If I go to a hotel and sleep in a funky position with pillows. Now, um, it's very important.[00:02:55] To get the right pillow height, but the next step to that is how do we position our pillow and how do we position pillows around her body and, or just support the muscles. Now I got to step back a little bit and teach you guys a little bit how muscles work, because some of these, these things that we don't really think about, and then we don't know how it relates to, um, what we're doing in our lives.[00:03:20] So I'm going to give you an example. Um, muscles work in groups. So if I turn one group off, another group has to turn off in order for me to move in the direction that I want to move in. For example, when I put my ear to my shoulder, I'm turning on the muscles that are contracting on one side and the muscles on the opposite side have to shut off or there'll be fighting against each other.[00:03:47] And I'll never get that movement. Now. Do you guys spend all day in a hunched position? Um, my husband's a helicopter pilot and he came home and had massive back pain and problems because he was doing something called long lining, where he was putting his head out the window and looking down at, um, a line under him.[00:04:10] And he was trying to, um, Take the load that was on that line. Uh, he was moving it through the Bush and he had to be very accurate and put it in the right position. Um, but because he was bending to the one side, he, when he tried to straighten up, he couldn't because he just worked out a muscle for eight hours that he wasn't used to working out and.[00:04:34] And as you know, none of us ever want to go to the gym and work out for eight hours and then think we're okay after. He had that same muscle pattern happening in his body where he was contracted in one position and it was shutting off.[00:04:49] The opposite group of muscles. So when we're sitting at a desk and we're, we're hunched over, we're turning on our Ab muscles, we're turning on the muscles, uh, in our pecs. If our shoulders are slumped forward and we're doing that for eight hours a day, and that's why a lot of people run into structural issues and need somebody like.[00:05:09] A chiropractor to help them get through pain, uh, because their spine has gotten pulled in that direction because of the strong muscles on the front and then the weak muscles on the back. So the whole point of all of that is that you want to make sure that even at night, you're moving your body or putting your body in a position, that's making sure that one group isn't turned on and the other group's turned off.[00:05:36] So if you crunch up and sleep in a fetal position, you are going to be doing this. The same thing at night that you're doing them the day and you're turning on all the muscles in the front and you're stretching all the muscles in the back, which could create problems and imbalances within your muscle groups.[00:05:54] And we absolutely want to avoid that in order to stay out of pain and be in the best health possible. So we want to compound our health. And so we're going to compound our sleeping positions as well, and make sure that there's no extra curves or there's no extra muscle tension, uh, by the way that we're sleeping and each and every one of you can do this at home starting tonight.[00:06:19] So, um, I used to believe very, very strongly that everybody, like, I think I got it just from my environment, but I thought that the best way to sleep was on your back on a firm mattress. And I realized very early when I went into my practice that this is not necessary, the way that everybody can sleep and it's not necessarily the best for each individual person.[00:06:44] And so I had to come up with sleeping positions where. The muscles weren't turned on and turned off. And again, you always want to create that balance in your body. You want to strive for that. Um, and you can do that with just a few tools that we're going to give you right now. So, and in this episode, so we checked our muscles with pillow height and that same tool.[00:07:10] I actually want you to use in this video in order to check your muscles for. A sleeping position. So when people S for, uh, for example, when people sleep on their stomach, the problem with stomach sleepers, Is that their neck is torqued to the one side. So how do you position your pillow? So your neck isn't torqued and you're in more of a neutral position.[00:07:36] Now I want to explain that a little bit because a lot of people don't understand what a neutral position is. Now, if, if you're completely upright and you're standing and you have your supporting muscles. Turned on the supporting muscles for the body should have a little bit of tone in them at all times, but the accessory muscles are turned off and nice and relaxed.[00:07:59] Then you're in a neutral position. So I shouldn't feel tension more on one side of my neck than I should feel on the other. I shouldn't feel tension on one side of my back compared to the other. It should be. Equal tension. So knowing that if we can get ourselves into a neutral position, we are able to get into a sleeping position where I'm not working at one muscle group for eight hours at a time while we sleep in that position.[00:08:26] Um, and then expect our bodies to be okay in the morning. So we want to get into that neutral state. Now I want to explain a little bit that. Every part of your body affects another part. And this is important because if you spend time crossing your feet at night, when you sleep, you're actually going to twist up your spine.[00:08:48] Now I have people that will walk with their ankles inward and for the majority of the time, if they're walking, uh, crossing their feet over their ankles, I will. For the majority of the time. And there's been studies done on this in Europe, on how, um, how our position affects things like scoliosis. I will find that there is a corresponding scoliosis in the body, which means is that there's a curve in your spine.[00:09:18] That's not supposed to be there now. Sometimes scoliosis can happen. Because of, uh, your structure and, and there's, um, a wedge in one of the bones and one bone wasn't fully formed properly. And then you can get scoliosis from that, but I'm not talking about that. I'm actually talking about something called functional scoliosis, where your body is.[00:09:42] Um, crooked because of your muscle tension and you can actually change functional scoliosis where you can't change structural scoliosis. So when you're looking at sleeping position, if your feet are crossed, it's actually affecting every single muscle group all through your body and it can be creating a twist or torque.[00:10:03] So what does that mean when it comes to sleeping position? So. I want to tailor every single person. I want to tailor their sleeping position, according to the, um, the position that they're comfortable in that they're used to. And then I want to make sure that there's no extra pressure. So for example, if you sleep on your side, I want to make sure that your shoulder is not crossing your body, um, or your neck is getting not, your neck is not getting support enough.[00:10:39] Um, we want to start and maintain that neutral position. So how do we move into a neutral position? Um, well you can do that by. Things like hugging, a Teddy bear or hugging your spouse, where your shoulder. Isn't like both your arms. Aren't lying to the one side. Um, you can also do that by not having your feet cross, not crossing your knees.[00:11:05] Um, making sure that your, your knee, both knees, aren't touching the bed at the same time. So I want you guys to really think about this when you tonight, when you get into your sleeping position. And I want you to go through the process. Um, I want you to feel your back and say, feel your right side of your back.[00:11:24] Is it relaxed? Is it tight? Feel the left side of your back? Is it relaxed or tight? And then I want you to put a pillow in between or, or. Put a pillow in between your knees or hug your pillow and see if you can get your body into a position that has no muscle tension on it now. Um, I actually ended up going through disc herniation a number of years ago.[00:11:49] And when I, I used to sleep with a pillow in between my knees and I did notice that changing the position of the pillow changed the support down my leg and this, this had no effect on me whatsoever until I had a disc herniation. I had a major, um, like my nervous system was really, really compromised because it had been injured. I actually needed to support all the way down my leg and I ha I couldn't just use my regular pillow anymore. I had to change in so that I started using this big Teddy bear and what the Teddy bear was doing is it was putting my. A leg in a position that actually took the pressure off the nerve. So the nerve wasn't contracting my muscles continually at night when I slept, but it was also supporting all the way down to my foot because I was getting numbness in the bottom of my foot and up the back of my leg, which I still have to this day.[00:12:48] And so. It's important to look at these positions and make sure these are positions that are right for you, and you have to tailor them according to your muscle function. And I really want to stress that because you want to test all of this stuff against your own body. This is something that you want to do, and it's not Willy nilly and it's not, there's not a one size fits all.[00:13:13] Um, this is something that okay. If I sleep. On my stomach and that's the most comfortable position, but I'm getting back pain all the time. How do I change my back pain? So you'll have to check your muscles on your back, see if one side's, um, uh, pulling more than the other. And if it is, you're going to actually have to try straightening your neck first and seeing if that makes a difference.[00:13:36] Then the second step would be, how can I get my hips in a position that will take that pressure off the back? And you guys can do this. If I want to empower each and every one of you to take charge of your health, learn these things and, and pass these things on to future generations. Because if we can change little things, In our lives.[00:13:57] Um, and if we can change them on a continual basis, just one thing at a time, we can elevate our health without all the massive exercise and diet changes that we tend to associate with better health. Sometimes better health means. Can I do one thing and can I change one thing that will change pain will change problems and will, um, get me to a position where I'm living the best life possible and each and every one of you can do that.[00:14:28] And there are tools out there, but sometimes we just don't know where to find them. So if you know of people that can really benefit from the information that we're sharing with them, the YouTube channel or the podcast, please reach out to them and share.

HHAH Challenge Day #1 PillowsDr Krista Ryan: [00:00:00] Hello and welcome. This is Dr. Krista Ryan with corner chiropractic and laser clinic, as well as Ms. Dr. Mom and starting today, Ms. Dr. Mom, YouTube channel. So if you guys haven't subscribed or liked or shared, please do so that we can continue to bring valuable content to every single person on this platform.[00:00:19] I hope you guys are super excited cause I'm going to be presenting something that, is new starting today, not just a YouTube channel, but a challenge for you. Um, this is my attempt to get every single person on this podcast, as well as on this channel too. Uh,  to elevate your health and wellness and take the next steps without having to radically change your diet or exercise.[00:00:46] We are going to be talking about habits that can, you can implement starting today that will radically change your life, decrease pain, and do a whole bunch of other things. I'm going to start a little bit with why this so important to me personally, um, I started in clinic and when I got into my clinical practice, I realized that when one person came in with a wrist problem, that I would fix the wrist and then they refer.[00:01:12] Refer a whole bunch of people to help for me to help them with their wrists. And I realized that they didn't know that I could actually help backs too, because their experience with me as a doctor meant that I could only fix their wrists. And another thing is that other people would come in with different conditions, such as headaches, migraines, back pain, neck pain.[00:01:33] And so I realized that my education to each and individual patient, is not even scratching the surface of what I know and what I can help people with or deliver to them in order to change their health and the health of their families for the rest of their lives. Um, I got started in this a long time ago.[00:01:53] I started doing a whole bunch of research. Um, we had, uh, my parents and I. And my family had a large farm where we had 50 horses and people would come to me to ask me about what was going wrong with the horses, because what I would do is I go back and I do whole bunch of research. I'd look in books, I'd get all the horse books out.[00:02:14] I'd look at encyclopedias, anything that I possibly could. Um, and when Google came by, I started looking at Google to see how I can help horses. And then that transferred into, um, my practice. And I started picking up all this knowledge about health and wellness. And to this day, I still consider myself a professional student because I love, love, love learning, and I love learning so that I can actually deliver this information to my family and the people I love first.[00:02:43] And then to every single person that comes into contact me,  contact with me second. So. Uh, what I wanted to do is I wanted to bring this challenge to you, and we're going to do a series each day. Today is day number one of our health help at home challenge without diet. And exercise. So guys, congratulations, because this is day number one, and I'm hoping to aim for about 30 days with this.[00:03:14] And we are going to start with something that's really near and dear to my heart and is very important because I have experienced this personally, and I know how life-changing this can be. So I'm going to talk about pillows today and why getting the right pillow is super important. And I know that sounds kind of like.[00:03:33] Weird and lame and not right. But a lot of people don't know that the height of a pillow is important and height really, really does matter. Um, now when I was in chiropractic college, I had this down pillow that I carried with me everywhere and I'd scrunch it together, stick it under my arm, stick it in the.[00:03:54] Um, in the base at the base of my neck and I would work to get this pillow into the right position so that I could fall asleep. And I struggled with this for a very, very long time. And when I was at chiropractic college, I saw that, um, you know, chiropractic, they promote pillows big time. And so I decided to try my first chiropractic pillow. When,[00:04:15] I tried the pillow for the first time. It took me six months to get used to how hard and firm it was. And, um, but to this day I would never do anything different. And I realized at that point that even though everybody seems to, they want a big cushy pillow, they want a pillow that's going to work with them.[00:04:39] And we oftentimes just grab it. Pillows, Willy nilly off the shelf. And we don't take the time to discover why it is. We need the pillow that we need. And why is it that we're not comfortable or we have neck problems. And because this is January, I find that. Um, I'm from a normal Northern climate. And a lot of times the food has to come from really far away.[00:05:05] And so we lose B vitamins in the nutrition that we're getting into our body because it's not, you know, you're not going out to your garden and picking fresh food. And because we lose B vitamins, our neck gets weaker. And so come January, I get this rush of neck pain and problems within my clinic. And I really wanted to address this issue because the majority of the time it comes from pillows.[00:05:28] And I want to explain why. So if you were to put your head. To the side to your right. So putting your right ear to your right shoulder for an entire eight hours, you are not going to be able to straighten your head up. And if people are on this podcast and we're alive in the seventies and eighties, there used to be these massive megaphones for receptionists where the receptionist would place the phone on the shoulder.[00:05:56] And slightly tip their head in order to hear and talk to patients. Well, we don't need that now. Cause they're, uh, headsets have come out in a lot of other, uh, advancements in our technology and, but the same idea and the same problem still exists. That if you have a pillow that you're sleeping with every night and you are in the position where that your neck.[00:06:19] And your muscles are over contracted on one side and stretched on another. Then you're going to create a problem for yourself in your sleep at night. So I talk to patients about the height of the pillow and the pile of the pillow and what that means. So a pile of a pillow is when you squish the pillow together, as much as you can, that's the height that the pillow is going to support your neck.[00:06:44] When you have your neck. On it. And that's called the pile of the pillow. Now pillows come in all shapes and sizes, and I'm not sure if you guys are completely aware of that. Oftentimes when we think of a pillow, we think of the ones that we get in a hotel room, which are really, really fluffy in the center.[00:07:00] Um, but when you look at actual chiropractic pillows that are built and structured for the neck itself, Um, you don't have that big fluffy center. What they do is they often take a lot of the center out, um, so that your head isn't tipped or pushed upward so that you're not leaning your head towards one shoulder, like a receptionist would do in the seventies or eighties.[00:07:24] So what you want to do. To help herself at home is to make sure you have the right height of the pillow and who teaches this stuff. Um, if I could go back to my kindergarten days or if I could get into kindergarten and teach all this stuff, I would probably be teaching kids how to look for the right pillow.[00:07:42] What that means and how that can help them for the rest of their life, especially because we are people that don't move enough. And so we don't get up in the morning and stretch your neck from side to side. So you want to be able to get up in the morning and not have a kink in your neck. Um, and you don't want to have pain for your entire day.[00:08:02] So what this means is that. When you go home and lie down right now, or tonight, um, you lie down and you check your neck muscles. So, um, you go from the very base of the ear to the base of your shoulder and you actually want to check for any tension. So a tight muscle will feel really hard. Um, like. Um, like a pencil eraser now a loose muscle is nice and squishy.[00:08:32] Uh, it feels like really, really soft meat, um, like raw, soft meat. And, um, and you're want to look for that tension. So check both sides because it does does matter again. If one side is not equal to the other and has more tension on one side, then you are going to wake up in the morning with a very. Very stiff and sore neck.[00:08:55] And I want to prevent that for every single person, because that's a communication lines for your brain, that your brain communicates to the body through the neck musculature. And if you get an abnormal position, it can cause like it cause. Sometimes misfiring or miscommunication, um, down the branch of whatever nerve you might be pinching or compressing by the way we're sleeping.[00:09:19] And so we certainly don't want to do that. We want to maximize our potential for the next day, by setting ourselves up in a good sleeping posture at night. Um, so basically, um, I want every single person to compress pillows, check to see the pile of the pillow, and you want to check different Heights. So some pills compress from anywhere between a quarter of an inch to three inches.[00:09:48] And that's a big discrepancy in a lot of times. Um, the majority of people that I run into my clinic usually need about an inch to maybe two inches. If you're looking at kids, maybe an inch to, uh, or, or a quarter inch to half inch, uh, which is really typical for that kind of population. So check your pillows, check your neck out and see what the difference is when you put your head on different pillows.[00:10:15] And again, the hotel pillow is not that big fluffy pillow. That's fluffy in the center is going to push your head up, even though the pile of the pillow. Right. Might, um, compress down to the right size. So you want, so if you guys go home and you have one of those big pillows that have a lot of pile on them, right in the center where your head would go and it's pushing your head up.[00:10:37] So that's actually making tension at the very base of your skull. Um, just thread something into the pillow to compress that area. I'll often have my patients go and they'll just sow too little. Um, sections to the pillow and that will actually compress the middle part of the pillow. And then they'll the pile of the pillow or the foam or, um, feathers or anything that's within the pillow will kind of move to the outside and will support the neck a little bit better and all of us want to do this.[00:11:10] And we want to make sure that we have the right pillow because we want to get up in the morning. Now we can't just have the right pillow. We want to be in. Position so that our neck musculature is nice and relaxed. Now this. This podcast. And this episode is really, really talking to the people that sleep on your back and on your side.[00:11:32] Uh, but not necessarily stomach sleepers. We're going to cover that in our next episode. And we're also going to cover strategies that you can do. Um, to help with side sleeping and back sleeping so that you can make your whole body relax and not just the neck. Um, but today is all about getting the right height.[00:11:54] Uh, so check your head, um, and check the neck musculature and the shoulders, which with each height of pillow and S and you want to check it against. Other pillows so that you can find the right height, that's the best for your body. And that may vary. So go home, compile all the pillows together in your house and just go through the list and just feel it the muscles and see which one might.[00:12:22] Be right for you. And then try that tonight, because if you get into a better position and you don't wake up in pain and you don't wake up sore, um, it changes your attitude for the rest of the day it changes your health for the rest of the day and it allows your body to communicate better. Um, so it's very, very important.[00:12:42] And sometimes I did mention B-vitamin sometimes it is recommended or necessary to actually help our, um, our body by adding some B vitamins in, because again, certain B vitamins can actually turn on our neck musculature. And if the, if that neck muscular is turned off, because it's the winter and our farm fresh vegetables, aren't existing in our community.[00:13:10] Um, Then you're not going to get the B-vitamins then I do suggest supplementing until those farm-fresh vegetables start getting into the community and you can actually go pick fresh vegetables in your garden. So I hope this podcast is super helpful. I, if you have any questions or concerns come and just contact me.[00:13:29] Uh, don't forget to like, and subscribe because I have a ton of information that I've picked up over the years that I have used personally and within my family in order to elevate my health and wellness as, as well as those people that I love around me.

David Korsunsky, founder and CEO of Heads Up Health, delivers an important overview of the current state of health information and steps we can all take to organize our health data.  For more than 15 years Korsunsky has been a business leader, leading technology firms and forming strategic alliances. Recently, Korsunsky served as Director of Technical Alliances at VMware, Inc. where he led partnerships with global EHR companies such as GE, EPIC, Cerner, McKesson, Allscripts, and others. Korsunsky is active and believes in a healthy lifestyle, and it was his passion for good health that inspired him to find a new way to innovate in the healthcare space. Korsunsky sought to create a means for everyone to take charge of their health, by accessing important markers that elucidate where they are on the path to optimum health.  Korsunsky talks about his sources of inspiration, from nutritionists to select nonconventional health advocates, who introduced him to a trove of information that was not always the go-to for traditional medicine practitioners. Realizing how his own personal medical information was literally scattered all over the place from healthcare office to office and patient portal to portal, Korsunsky knew there had to be a better way. He had a tremendous desire to find a way to connect his lifestyle choices with the blood work that would bear out his theories on diet and exercise, etc. Korsunsky founded Heads Up Health, a company that seeks to empower people, helping them to transform their health through the use of state of the art tracking tools. His team of experienced and knowledgeable health-conscious technology experts wanted to clean up the current system fraught with confusing medical records, underutilized health-tracking technologies, and poorly managed health data. Korsunsky saw a way to implement a software solution to clean up the mess and get to the heart of the matter—improving health for everyone by connecting them to their own data.  The healthcare tech expert discusses how important trend lines can be totally missed by physicians when health records are scattered and unorganized. And when physicians cannot see the full picture over a long period of time, they are unfortunately less aptly equipped to make the best decisions on long-term care plans for treatment or general health advice. Korsunsky states that the onus is upon the patient, in most systems, for them to be their own advocate and investigate deeply into their own personal medical issues. He details how these markers of our health, the look into our blood work and body chemistry, are essentially our longevity numbers and it is important for individuals to know where they stand, to understand what needs work or improvement.  Korsunsky outlines how their platform works and how users can enter their medical data and get active right away at tracking their health and making improvements. He discusses some of the important aspects of their system, such as tracking HOMA-IR (Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance) scores, which as he states is significantly better than simply looking at blood sugar. He explains how their platform actually collects data while we sleep, from heart rate to core temperature and beyond, to calculate a score and overall assessment of our recovery during sleep. Additionally, he elaborates on public data sets and useful information that he wants their users to have access to through the platform, to allow them to be notified about pharmaceutical news and more that could affect them.  Korsunsky discusses their growth as a small company on the rise. He details how it is important to build out their system slowly and organically. Currently, they have tens of thousands of users and are growing via word of mouth. As their product is an intricate product its pace of growth is carefully controlled by Korsunsky and his team of developers.  Korsunsky enthusiastically discusses the personal fulfillment he experiences when he hears stories of users who have learned to successfully manage or reduce certain chronic health problems by getting a handle on their data and working toward solutions to improve health.

Hi Lovers! Megan Yelaney is BACK! YAY!! She's been on the podcast a couple times before - her first full episode is titled "Protect Your Mind" and in that interview we dive deep into her journey with exercise and becoming a health/fitness coach. In THIS Episode, we discuss the many ways her life has changed since then by having clients "Ditch the Diet" and find ways to eat that work best for them. One way she has done that is through incorporating Intermittent Fasting - which we discuss in minor detail. See reference links for more info.  We also discuss the THREE most common - and also most costly mistakes that people make when they decide to take on a new lifestyle -    3 Costly Mistakes People Make When Trying to Create a "Healthy" Lifestyle: 1. GOING ALL IN RIGHT AWAY: Having an "all or nothing" mentality inevitably ends up making you feel like a failure after the smallest human mistakes. Baby steps are the way to go.  2. UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS: Things take longer than you think they will. 3. TRY TO GO IT ALONE: Accountability is KEY. Having others to help you out is not only awesome motivation but it also makes the process more FUN!    Find Megan: Instagram & Snapchat: @MeganYelaneyBlog: FitActorTravels.com YouTube: Megan Yelaney FB: facebook.com/MeganYelaneyFitness Pinterest: Megan Yelaney Referenced In This Episode: Megan's Intermittent Fasting (IF) Blog Posts:  How Intermittent Fasting Can Improve your Health Help you lose fat Intermittent Fasting: How to Do It The Right Way for YOUR Body Intermittent Fasting for Women: The 5 Top Myths and to Not Let it Stop You Intermittent Fasting for Women: How to do it Safely and Lose Fat Chalene Johnson's IF Podcast Episodes: Stop Dieting Jimmy More Sara Solomon Pt 1 Sara Solomon Pt 2 Chalene Johnson's All-or-Nothing Mindset Podcast Episode: The All Or Nothing Mindset is Killing Your Progress Megan's Intermittent Fasting LIVE Workshop:  https://www.fitactortravels.com/   Love Your Bodd Stuffz   Email LYB: loveyourboddcast@gmail.com   Tweet: @LoveYourBodd   Instagram: @love_your_bodd   Facebook: Love Your Bodd   Find Heather @HeatherBoddy on Snapchat, Twitter & Instagram www.heather-boddy.com/loveyourbodd   GET HELP: Love Your Bodd is a proud supporter of the Born This Way Foundation - check out their resources page to get help for whatever issue you might be facing -  https://bornthisway.foundation/get-help-now/   Wanna become a Pop Pilates Instructor?

Have you ever felt that no matter how you word what is physically ailing you, the help you are getting from practitioners just is not the right one?  Have you felt like it just did not find the root of the issues you have with your body?  What is going on?  Need someone to help you turn the corner in getting help?  Sometimes all you need is to ask an intuitive outside of the current treatment process and ask what is deeply inside you that needs to be healed.  Can you take that leap?  What do you hide inside you?Shannon McRae, Ph.D, medical intuitive and psychologist has written The Healing Effects of Energy Medicine which is her memoirs.  She talks about many cases where the physical or mental conditions were identified and treated with healing touch, positive thought, and other alternative treatments.For more information visit:  www.ConsciousEnergies.com
