When people talk about raw feeding, the conversation often begins - and ends - with pathogens.But what if that's causing us to overlook much bigger questions?In Part 2 of my conversation with veterinarian and canine nutrition researcher Dr. Anna Hielm-Björkman of the University of Helsinki's independent research group, DogRisk, we explore what researchers are beginning to discover now that raw-fed dogs are finally being studied more closely.We dive into one of the most controversial topics in canine nutrition: food safety and pathogen risk. But we also look beyond the headlines to examine how risk is assessed, what the evidence actually shows, and whether our focus on acute hazards sometimes prevents us from investigating potential long-term health outcomes.From there, we explore some of the most fascinating questions emerging from fresh feeding research:• What benefits are researchers seeing repeatedly in fresh-fed dogs?• Are the advantages of fresh feeding linked to rawness itself, or simply reduced processing?• How should we think about the relationship between dogs, wolves, and diet?• Do dogs actually need plants?• Why does nutrient form matter as much as nutrient quantity?• What happens metabolically when dogs consume fresh foods versus ultra-processed diets?• Why might healthy fresh-fed dogs display different bloodwork values than conventionally fed dogs?This is a thoughtful, nuanced conversation about evidence, curiosity, and the questions we may not have been asking.Whether you feed raw, gently cooked, kibble with fresh additions, or are simply curious about canine nutrition, this episode offers a fascinating look at what we're learning as research begins to catch up with practice.Connect with Dr Anna and the DogRisk team: https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/dogrisk-health-via-nutrition-epidemiology-and-disease-detection-dogshttps://instagram.com/dogriskConnect with me!Website: https://mysticdogmama.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/mysticdogmamaI'd love to invite you to join my free Facebook community, The Nourished Pack.

A Brand New Tool for Gut, Inflammation, and Brain Support: Holistic practitioner Jane Jansen details Essential Formulas' Dr. Ohhira's Postbiotic Fermented Food Concentrate, a non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, capsule-free fermented paste in travel-friendly, non-refrigerated sachets. She explains the difference between probiotics and postbiotics, emphasizing that this concentrate delivers postbiotic metabolites (including short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, plus enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, peptides, and growth/repair factors) created via a five-year fermentation of 14 fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, and seaweeds; the paste contains no live probiotics because they are heat-killed. The discussion highlights use cases for people who don't tolerate fiber or probiotics (IBS, SIBO, Crohn's, ulcerative colitis), potential benefits for leaky gut, systemic inflammation, gut-brain/mitochondrial health, insulin resistance, children, and pets, and suggests it can complement Dr. Ohhira's capsules and may be taken less than daily.

What if one of the biggest problems in canine nutrition is that we've barely studied fresh food at all?In this deep and thought-provoking conversation, I sit down with veterinarian and researcher Dr. Anna Hielm-Björkman from the University of Helsinki's DogRisk research group - one of the only independent, university-connected teams in the world researching raw feeding and fresh food diets in dogs.But this episode isn't about telling you what you should feed your dog.It's about asking a much bigger question:How do we actually know what we know about canine nutrition?Together, we explore how pet food research is conducted, why so much of it focuses on ultra-processed diets, and what happens when fresh and raw food are finally brought into the scientific conversation.Dr Anna shares her own journey from conventional veterinary medicine into a more integrative approach to canine health — including acupuncture, nutrition, and preventative care — and why she became passionate about researching the relationship between food and chronic disease.We also dive into:why there is still surprisingly little independent long-term research on canine nutrition,how veterinary nutrition education is shaped,what “complete and balanced” actually means,why the form of a nutrient matters just as much as the nutrient itself,how processing changes the way a dog's body metabolizes and utilizes food,and why fresh-fed dogs may require entirely different frameworks for feeding guidelines, lab reference ranges, and health evaluation.This is a conversation about nuance, evidence, and curiosity beyond fear, marketing, and polarized internet debates.Whether you feed raw, gently cooked, wet food, kibble, or somewhere in between, this episode invites us to think more deeply about what health really looks like for our dogs - and how science can evolve when we begin asking better questions.And this is only part one.In the next episode, Anna and I will dive into one of the most controversial aspects of this conversation: pathogens, risk, food safety, and the myths surrounding raw feeding.If this episode resonated with you, please share it with a fellow dog guardian, leave a review, or tag us on Instagram @mysticdogmama with your biggest takeaway. These conversations matter because the future of canine health depends on the questions we're willing to ask.More about DogRisk:https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/dogrisk-health-via-nutrition-epidemiology-and-disease-detection-dogsRegister for the DogRisk Seminar: https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/health-via-nutrition-epidemiology-and-disease-detection-dogs/news-and-happenings/save-the-date-the-8th-dogrisk-seminar-2026Connect with me!Website: https://mysticdogmama.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/mysticdogmamaCome join my free Facebook group, First Light.

The Mirror Method, the WAIT Acronym, and Why "Learn Fast" Beats "Fail Fast": Lee Health CSIO Lisa Martinez on Challenging the Status Quo — Part 2 She walked into a conference room as the only woman in a room full of men in technical data roles. They introduced themselves to each other and started the meeting without acknowledging her at all. She paused, said "excuse me," stated her name, her role, and why she was there. It startled them. She was glad she did it. Because if she hadn't, she wouldn't have belonged in the conversation that followed. In Part 2 of this conversation, Lisa Martinez, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer at Lee Health, moves from personal story into the specific leadership tools she uses every day to challenge the status quo, orchestrate high-stakes conversations, and move organizations through change without creating enemies. You'll learn: The Mirror Method: why the most dangerous thing you can do when entering a new organization is come in with a fix-it mentality, and the structured listening approach that gets people to agree the status quo needs to change before you ever propose a solution WAIT — "Why Am I Talking?" — the acronym she uses to decide when her voice advances a conversation and when silence does more How she reads the nonverbals of an entire organization the same way she reads body language in a room, and what signals tell her when trust is building and when it isn't Why she stopped relying on PowerPoint and what changed when she started looking people in the eye instead of at her slides, including the mentor advice that saved her: "be ready to deliver a 5-minute version of what you just created"  The difference between intellectual sparring and debate, and how she creates conditions for divergent thinking that actually leads to decisions, not just more discussion Why she says "learn fast" instead of "fail fast", and how she navigates naysayers, skeptics, and the inevitable "you paid how much for what?" moments in healthcare innovation What she looks for when building a team: curiosity, courage, and comfort with ambiguity, and why trustworthiness ranks above everything else About Lisa Martinez: Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer at Lee Health, Lisa leads strategic planning, innovation, and organizational transformation across one of Florida's largest health systems.

In this episode, you'll learn: • Why fruit is not the enemy and how it supports metabolic health • The critical role of antioxidants and polyphenols in reducing oxidative stress • How eating a diverse range of plant foods strengthens cellular function • Why nitrate-rich vegetables (like spinach, beets, and celery) support nitric oxide production • How nitric oxide improves blood flow, exercise performance, and recovery • Simple ways to incorporate these foods into your daily routine

In this Classroom Edition of the Y Health Podcast, Cougar Hall explores the powerful role stress plays in our physical and mental health, drawing from Chapter 2 of his Mind-Body Health course at Brigham Young University. As Part 2 of this series, this episode builds on foundational concepts to take a deeper look at how we experience and manage stress in everyday life.This episode breaks down three essential truths about stress: how our perception shapes the stress response, why simplifying our lives and adjusting our attitudes can reduce unnecessary strain, and how moderate, short-term stress is not only normal—but necessary for growth. Cougar challenges the common belief that a stress-free life is the goal, offering a more balanced and empowering perspective.Listeners are also introduced to key insights from leading experts, including the concept of the “biology of courage,” the importance of connection through “caring-created resilience,” and the idea that we can trust ourselves—with help from others and from faith—to face life's challenges.The episode wraps with practical, real-life strategies to better manage daily stress, from setting priorities and arriving early to creating supportive environments and building strong relationships.Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or simply looking to better understand how stress works, this second installment offers actionable tools and a fresh mindset to help you navigate life with greater confidence and resilience.Recorded, Edited & Produced by Averee Bates, Christy Gonzalez, Harper Xinyu Zhang, Madison McArthur, Kailey Hopkins, and Tanya Gale

In this Classroom Edition of the Y Health Podcast, host Cougar Hall introduces listeners to one of Brigham Young University's most impactful courses: Mind-Body Health (HLTH 383). As Part 1 of this series, Cougar draws from over 15 years of teaching the class to share the foundational principles of psychoneuroimmunology—the science of how our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence physical health and immune function.This episode offers a meaningful glimpse into the course's core topics, including stress, personality, resilience, sleep, relationships, and the powerful roles of humor, altruism, and mindfulness in overall well-being. Cougar also reflects on the lasting influence of his former professor and explains how he came to carry on the course's legacy.At the heart of the episode is a powerful concept known as the “Law of Present Moment Living”—a framework that challenges the common habit of postponing happiness until life feels perfect. Instead, listeners are invited to embrace both the good and the difficult aspects of life simultaneously, cultivating gratitude, awareness, and emotional balance in the present.Whether you're a student, a health professional, or simply someone seeking greater peace and perspective, this first installment provides practical insights and timeless wisdom to help you live more fully—right here, right now.Recorded, Edited & Produced by Averee Bates, Christy Gonzalez, Harper Xinyu Zhang, Madison McArthur, Kailey Hopkins, and Tanya Gale

In this episode, Dr. Tommy Wood returns to Barbell Shrugged for part two of a deep conversation on brain health, cognitive decline, and the daily habits that shape long-term mental performance. Joined by Doug Larson, Travis Mash, and Dr. Mike Lane, Tommy unpacks why oral health matters far more than most people realize, explaining how gum disease, oral bacteria, and chronic inflammation may contribute not only to cardiovascular disease but also to dementia risk. The crew also digs into the importance of sensory input, from hearing and vision to social interaction, and how losing those inputs over time can quietly accelerate cognitive decline. The conversation then shifts into sleep, where Tommy breaks down what actually matters most for protecting the brain. Rather than obsessing over perfect sleep scores or chasing an arbitrary eight-hour target, he argues that the biggest levers are sleep opportunity, regularity, and avoiding behaviors that wreck sleep architecture. The group explores the different roles of REM and deep sleep, how sleep supports emotional processing, learning, and metabolic cleanup in the brain, and why wearables can be useful for trends without being trusted too literally. They also cover naps, alcohol, caffeine, common sleep aids, magnesium, chamomile, and why worrying too much about sleep can itself become part of the problem. Finally, the episode broadens into brain risk and brain resilience in the modern world. Tommy highlights major risk factors for cognitive decline including hearing loss, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, obesity, alcohol, air pollution, and toxic exposures like lead and other environmental contaminants. He also gives a nuanced take on technology, arguing that video games, digital tools, and even AI can be either brain-supportive or brain-eroding depending on how they are used. When technology expands your capabilities, it can sharpen cognition. When it replaces thinking entirely, it can weaken the very skills you are trying to preserve. This episode is a practical roadmap for anyone who wants to think more clearly, age better, and protect their brain with smarter everyday decisions.

How do you solve problems as complex as drug pricing or childhood obesity? Chelsea Clinton, vice chair of the Clinton Foundation, pulls back the curtain on data-driven methodology. She and host Chethan Sathya, MD, discuss how the foundation moves beyond good intentions, relying on hard evidence and measurable outcomes to prove impact. Central to this strategy is forging public-private partnerships — even with "unlikely allies" such as major corporations — to create systemic change. Clinton explains why pragmatism and rigorous analysis are essential tools for tackling the world's most pressing health challenges, ensuring that every initiative is both sustainable and effective.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Neil Levin, the Senior Nutrition Education Manager and a product formulator for NOW(r) Foods and Protocol for Life Balance. 

Nutritional Support for Brain Health: Lifestyle, Curcumin, Magnesium, and Key Nootropics: Nutrition educator/formulator Neil Levin from Protocol for Life Balance details nutritional support for brain health amid skepticism about “brain-boosting” supplements, citing a preprint randomized controlled trial using a multifaceted lifestyle plan (diet, exercise, sleep) plus targeted supplementation that reportedly improved and even reversed symptoms in people with mild cognitive impairment. They contrast lifestyle strategies with costly, side-effect-prone injectable “plaque-buster” Alzheimer's drugs and notes debate about whether amyloid is a root cause or byproduct. The conversation highlights inflammation and oxidation as major aging-related brain threats and reviews supplements including a brain-targeted curcumin (discussing bioavailability, delivery methods, blood–brain barrier crossing, and claims of lowering beta-amyloid protein), magnesium L-threonate for CNS delivery, phosphatidylserine and acetylcholine support (including huperzine), ginkgo and gotu kola, glutamine/GABA pathways, creatine, omega-3s (DHA/EPA and algae sources), B vitamins, acetyl-L-carnitine, alpha-lipoic acid, and cocoa flavanols, plus concerns about supplement industry enforcement.

This week! Liv Kennedy, Candace the Magnificent and Jeremy Cobb are joined once again by the wonderful Perry Clark and Sekayi Edwards for Part 2 of their Black History Month mental health conversation, and the final episode of this year's Black History Month series. Together, they dive into the Black community's relationship with therapy, what it really takes to build trust between patients and practitioners, and the growing concerns around AI in mental health spaces and what may be lost when human connection is removed. They also reflect on generational trauma, the realities of healing work, and how families and communities can help POC children recognise and process racism in ways that empower rather than silence. A candid, necessary, and deeply human conversation to round out this year's Black History Month discussions.   Mentioned Links Sekayi's Therapy Services Perry's Therapy Services Also - did you miss out on our first

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Sally Norton, a Master in Public Health, Ivy League Nutritionist, and author of “Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload Is Making You Sick and How to Get Better.” 

Unveiling the Hidden Dangers of Oxalate Overload with Sally Norton, a Master in Public Health, Ivy League Nutritionist, and author of “Toxic Superfoods: How Oxalate Overload Is Making You Sick and How to Get Better.” The discussion delves into the often misunderstood and overlooked issues related to dietary oxalates, commonly found in plant-based diets. Norton shares her personal health journey, which led to her research on dietary oxalate and its impact on various health conditions beyond kidney stones, including arthritis, fatigue, and neurodegenerative diseases. She explores how common foods like spinach, sweet potatoes, and dark chocolate can contribute to oxalate toxicity, and discusses the potential systemic effects and symptoms such as neurotoxicity and gastrointestinal issues. The conversation also covers the challenges in diagnosing oxalate overload, the inaccuracies in existing oxalate food tables, and practical steps for mitigating its harmful effects through diet and supplementation. Listen in to understand how to balance the benefits of plant-based nutrients with the risks of oxalate overload.

In this episode of Barbell Shrugged, Doug Larson is joined by longtime co-host Travis Mash and new co-host Dr. Mike Lane for a return visit from one of the show's most popular guests, Dr. Tommy Wood. Tommy breaks down the core thesis of his new book, The Stimulated Mind (releasing March 24), which uses dementia prevention as the headline but is really about boosting cognition at every stage of life. The crew sets the tone early: brain health is not "old people stuff," it's performance, learning, and resilience, built daily through how you live and how you train. Tommy makes the case that "optimization" only works when it fits real life, and that the brain adapts like the body: sleep, nutrition, and exercise support it, but you still have to "train the brain" with demanding learning and skills. He outlines a practical learning dose-response, roughly 30–90 minutes of deep challenge per session, 2–3 times per week as a sweet spot for consolidation, while acknowledging the power of daily touchpoints for habit formation (Doug's Duolingo streak and the "don't break the chain" approach). From there, they go deep on exercise modalities and cognition: aerobic work and interval training improving hippocampal function (memory), high-intensity work potentially driving brain benefits through lactate → local BDNF, and coordinative/open-skill sports (racket sports, dancing, martial arts) producing outsized brain returns for the same physical strain. The conversation closes with a fast but important run through risk, genetics, and lifestyle: Tommy explains ApoE4 as a risk multiplier that's highly environment-dependent, amplifying bad inputs (inflammation, poor metabolic health) but also amplifying the benefits of doing the basics well. They hit the big nutrition levers for cognition; omega-3s, key B vitamins (methylation), vitamin D, iron, plus polyphenol-rich foods (berries, cocoa, coffee/tea), and squash the common "red wine" rationalization by emphasizing net outcomes (sleep and brain volume matter). Finally, Tommy emphasizes the under-rated keystone: social connection and pro-social behavior, arguing that the Mediterranean "diet" is really a Mediterranean lifestyle, and that isolation can erase many of the benefits of even a perfect nutrition plan.
