You're physically tired from your day, legitimately hungry from meals eaten hours ago, and experiencing mental whiplash from switching between your structured work role and the emotional labor of caregiving. Add decision fatigue from making thousands of choices throughout the day, and it's no wonder your brain defaults to takeout, cereal, or wine and popcorn.   Tune in this week to learn practical strategies to transform this chaotic time into something more manageable and grounded.    Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://carriehollandmd.com/162

Send us a textModern medicine rests on a centuries‑old decision to split mind from body. That fault line still runs through every clinic and classroom, raising an uncomfortable question: if the foundation ignores half of human experience, how scientific are we really? In this episode, Dr Eeks talks with physician‑author Dr Robert Smith about why his new book Has Medicine Lost Its Mind? argues it is time to reunite what never should have been divided. What We CoverThe Great Split: A medieval Church decree let scientists dissect bodies but barred them from the head, setting up the mental‑vs‑physical divide that still guides clinical practice.Primary‑Care Patchwork: Family doctors now manage roughly 75 percent of U.S. mental‑health care despite minimal formal training in mental health.Medicalizing Real‑Life Messes: Trauma, chronic stress, and tough social conditions often get reframed as diseases because the system lacks better options.The “Complex” Patient Label: How “complex” often translates to “we're overwhelmed and don't know what's really wrong.”Culture on Autopilot: Rituals, hierarchy, and resistance to change can block genuine healing even when evidence points elsewhere.A Way Forward: The biopsychosocial model that addresses lab values and life stories—and what it would take for mainstream medicine to embrace it.If you have ever felt that your doctor's office visit left half of you outside the exam room, press play and join the conversation about what real, whole‑person healthcare could look like. Dr. Robert C. Smith is a nationally acclaimed authority on evidence‑based mental health care and doctor–patient communication. A University Distinguished Professor of Medicine and Psychiatry at Michigan State University, he pioneered the first patient‑centered training approach that teaches clinicians how to forge strong, collaborative relationships with their patients. His contributions have earned him numerous honors, including Master status from the American College of Physicians and the prestigious George Engel Award for Outstanding Research. Dr. Smith has authored more than 150 peer‑reviewed articles and continues to garner hundreds of academic citations each year. His expertise has been featured in outlets such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Today Show, and he writes regularly for Psychology Today. You can contact Dr. Eeks at bloomingwellness.com.Follow Eeks on Instagram here.Or Facebook here.Or X.On Youtube.Or TikTok.SUBSCRIBE to her monthly newsletter here!

Your body is talking to itself all the time — through your gut, brain, and hormones. This week, we trace how these hidden threads shape health, pain, mental focus, and even policy momentum for menopause and endometriosis.What You'll LearnThe Gut Microbiome & Chronic PainNew research shows your gut microbiome may hold “signatures” for chronic pain conditions — but personalized treatment isn't there yet. What does an anti-inflammatory diet or SCFAs mean now?ADHD as an Evolutionary StrengthEvidence supports the “hunter in a farmer's world” idea: ADHD traits once helped our ancestors survive. So how do we design schools, workplaces, and mental health care to match that reality — especially for women affected by PMDD?Menopause Policy MomentumMore than 15 states have introduced menopause bills this year — plus the NextGen Now initiative is training thousands of providers. But funding and policy only help if they reach real people.Why Connecting the Dots MattersWhen we silo gut health, neurodiversity, and hormones, people pay the price in misdiagnosis and costly, fragmented care. This episode shows why connecting these threads matters for patients — and for anyone shaping the system.Listen If You're:A patient, advocate, or startup founder working to make healthcare more wholeNavigating ADHD, chronic pain, or hormonal shiftsCurious about the intersection of science, policy, and real-world careResources & Related LinksRead the newsletter The Threads We Keep MissingListen to my interview with Dr. Caroline Mitchell on the Vaginal MicrobiomeListen to my interview with Dr. Allie Sharma on Mental Health and MenopauseRead about the $24 billion menopause opportunityExplore Fempower Health's ADHD resources

Send us a textThe pursuit of optimal health as we age requires more than just conventional medicine—it demands a deeper understanding of how our hormones, genetics, and metabolism interact. In this continuation of the conversation with Dr. Elena Christofides, Host Dr. Holly Thacker goes beyond the surface of women's health concerns to explore groundbreaking approaches that can literally change how we age.Dr. Christofides reveals why comprehensive blood testing should include genetic markers that most physicians overlook. From MTHFR mutations affecting B vitamin metabolism to hemochromatosis genes common in those with Northern European ancestry, these hidden factors can dramatically impact metabolic health. Her revolutionary approach includes growth hormone screening for everyone—not just elite athletes—because deficiencies following head trauma (including domestic violence) affect one in five people and accelerate aging processes.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Christofides and Dr. Thacker emphasize that what many dismiss as "normal aging" is often addressable with personalized medical approaches.For anyone frustrated by unexplained weight gain, fatigue, poor sleep quality, or declining physical performance despite "normal" lab work, this episode offers hope and actionable insights.To learn more about Dr. Elena Christofides, visit endocrinology-associates.com.Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee welcome plastic surgeon, Dr. David Dellinger of Elysian Plastic Surgery in Austin. Today they discuss the spectrum of resources available to patients who aren't happy with their body's appearance and/or function. Dr. Dellinger sees patients for everything from buried penis syndrome, gynecomastia, and reconstructive surgery to penile enlargement, liposuction, and botox. Buried penis occurs when excess fat around the penis causes it to retract into the body, resulting in both urinary and sexual dysfunction. Although bariatric surgery may help patients lose weight, the loose skin that remains can seriously impact a patient's self-esteem. Fortunately, Dr. Dellinger and Dr. Mistry often join forces to provide the highest quality plastic surgery fixes for these and other conditions affecting patients of all genders.

Episode SummaryWhy do so many women feel dismissed in healthcare — even when they see good doctors? The problem isn't always the people — it's the cultural stories we've told about what “matters.”Inspired by sports journalist Kate Fagan's TED Radio Hour insight on women's sports, Georgie draws a powerful parallel to women's health: when we don't tell clear stories or define the stakes, we leave research gaps, funding gaps, and entire conditions misunderstood.In just 10 minutes, you'll hear:What Kate Fagan's quote reveals about collective blind spotsHow endometriosis, PMDD, and IUD pain show this in actionWhy better stories are the first step to better funding, research, and careHow this idea applies far beyond women's health, to any overlooked issueListen If You…Have ever felt unseen in a doctor's officeWork in healthcare, research, or policy and want better insightsWant to understand the link between storytelling and system changeResources & Next StepsListen to the TED Radio Hour episode with Kate Fagan Read the full companion article: What We Don't See, We Don't Solve

He explains that many marketing tactics in the health and supplement industry are disguised as scientific claims.
