You've probably heard that gut health matters, but did you know your gut problems might not show up as digestive symptoms at all? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michael Ruscio to uncover the hidden connections between your gut and your overall health. Dr. Ruscio is a clinical researcher and bestselling author of "Healthy Gut, Healthy You." He's spent years cutting through the dogma in both conventional and alternative medicine to find what actually works. His research has been published in peer-reviewed journals, and he speaks at integrative medical conferences around the world. Today, we dive deep into why common gut tests might be misleading, how to figure out what diet actually works for YOUR body, and the practical steps you can take starting today to heal your gut. This episode was initially released in September 2018 In this podcast, Dr. Ruscio and I discuss: How gut problems can manifest as non-digestive symptoms like joint pain, insomnia, and anxiety Why most gut tests are not clinically validated and what to do instead The truth about gluten sensitivity Why listening to your body is more powerful than relying on test results The difference between SIBO and other forms of gut dysbiosis and what the science actually shows How to determine if a Paleo diet or low FODMAP diet is right for your unique gut His theory on the three categories of probiotics and why one type might work when others don't How the gut-brain connection affects your mood, energy, and mental clarity Why restrictive diets often fail and how to expand your diet while staying healthy The step-by-step algorithm Dr. Ruscio uses to help patients heal their guts naturally

In episode #453 of The Hormone Puzzle Podcast, our guest, Rafaella Elias talks about Shifting Your Emotions From Fear, Grief Into Hope. More about Rafaella: Rafaella Elias has always been passionate about improving public health. With a background in Nutrition, Health Sciences and Epidemiology, her career path was focused on understanding health from a scientific perspective. However, when she faced Type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism and infertility, she embarked on a transformational healing journey—one that extended beyond medicine. Along the way, she discovered the profound power of the mind-body connection, emotional healing, and shifting beliefs to manifest what the heart desires. By embracing these principles, she transformed her pain into power, turning what once felt impossible into reality: the gift of motherhood. Inspired by her journey, Rafaella developed Little Miracle Creations, an initiative to share meaningful offerings that support women on their journey to motherhood. Through creative expression and heartfelt insights, she continues to expand this growing collection, beginning with her poetry book and guided journal. With more to come, each offering is created to inspire women to believe in their own miracles. Rafaella's debut book, Little Miracle Milestones, is a collection of affirmation-infused poetry, written as an intimate dialogue between mother and baby. Accompanied by a guided journal, this collection provides a space to release limiting beliefs and step into the energy of manifesting a little miracle. Thank you for listening!

In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy is joined by Dr. Payam Hakimi, D.O., Medical Director of Body of Harmony, for a conversation she has wanted to have for years. Haylie has used homeopathy since she was two, raised her kids on it, and now has two physicians at the Institute for Neuro Immune Medicine enrolled in Dr. Hakimi's training course.  Dr. Hakimi covers how homeopathy works through the immune system to inspire the body to act rather than acting on its behalf, how dilution levels and potency affect speed and depth of response, and why the concept of constitution, the full physical, physiological, and emotional makeup of a person, is central to selecting the right medicine. He also explains what blocked elimination pathways look like clinically and how homeopathic medicines target specific detox organs to release what the body has been holding. If homeopathy has ever felt mysterious or inaccessible, this episode of Fast Metabolism Matters makes it clinical, clear, and actionable. If your body feels like it's running on empty, overburdened, or just not responding the way it used to, Haylie's latest book, Toxic Overload, tells you exactly what to do.

John Maytham speaks to Prof Anita Padmanabhanunni, Dean of the Faculty of Community and Health Sciences at the University of the Western Cape and co-author of the study, to unpack what these findings mean for students, parents and universities. The research, published in the peer-reviewed journal Behavioral Sciences, surveyed nearly 500 university students and suggests that addressing problematic smartphone habits may be just as important as limiting time spent on social media. We'll also explore why constant exposure to carefully curated online lives, distressing news and endless notifications may be shaping young people's mental wellbeing, and what practical interventions could help students build healthier digital habits.

Nearly 25 years as an emergency medicine physician has provided Dr. Rob Davidson with a wealth of knowledge in practicing health care. Two years ago, however, he decided that he needed more. He began pursuing a Master of Public Health degree in the online Population and Health Sciences program at the University of Michigan School of Public Health.  "I've always been right at that point of health care where you meet people at significant moments in their life," said Davidson, a West Michigan-based physician. "The ER seems far removed from the goals of population health and public health, but you come to realize just how much people's wider world has an impact on what brought them to the ER at that point in time."  Davidson pondered earning his master's degree for a while, having seen colleagues who earned their MPH go on to impact local health outcomes. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, he knew that pursuing an MPH was the right next step.  Listen rate and review on Apple Podcasts Listen rate and review on Spotify Pete On Instagram Pete on Blue Sky Pete on Threads Pete on Tik Tok Pete on Twitter Pete Personal FB page Stand Up with Pete FB page Gift a Subscription https://www.patreon.com/PeteDominick/gift Send Pete $ Directly on Venmo All things Jon Carroll  Buy Ava's Art  Subscribe to Piano Tuner Paul Paul Wesley on Substack Listen to Barry and Abigail Hummel Podcast Listen to Matty C Podcast and Substack Follow and Support Pete Coe Hire DJ Monzyk to build your website or help you with Marketing

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome has been renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. So seems like a good time to review our previous episode on it as we prep for a formal update on why the name change happened. Also, we hear Danielle's voice for the first time!!   Robyn Flynn joins Chris to talk about polycystic ovarian syndrome.

In this episode, we welcome back exercise scientist Maria Luque, PhD, to talk about her new book New Moves in Menopause: A Fearless Guide to a Stronger, Healthier, Saner Midlife and the mindset shift it asks of midlife women. Maria explains why she moved beyond traditional “fix your body” fitness narratives to focus on helping women feel better in their bodies through movement and create their own personalized “map” for midlife. She shares how becoming a mother to her daughter Charlie forced her to confront her own body image struggles and led to the “Charlie Test,” a practical filter women can use to reframe negative self-talk and diet culture messages. We explore how to untangle fitness from aesthetics, bring joy and play back into movement, and build a baseline of daily activity that supports real-life adventures, quality of life, and menopause-specific needs.Dr. Maria Luque is a fitness expert, menopause coach, Air Force veteran, former health science professor, and founder of Fitness in Menopause. With a PhD & MS in Health Sciences and over two decades of expertise, she's one of the most credentialed and trusted voices in women's midlife fitness—and the menopause coach to Halle Berry. Her book, New Moves in Menopause – A Fearless Guide to a Stronger, Healthier, & Saner Midlife, offers practical information as well as transformational explorations that help women understand what's happening in their bodies, build mental and physical strength and engage with midlife as a time of freedom, rather than a collection of symptoms.

Dr. Lisa Warren, the dean and a COMP graduate; Dr. Marcel Fraix, associate dean for admissions and also a COMP graduate; TJ Pe, assistant director of recruitment; and Sarah Shirley, a rising second-year COMP DO student, walk listeners through what makes this program distinctive.The conversation covers the school's two-campus structure—urban Pomona, California, and rural Lebanon, Oregon—and how the shared curriculum delivers a consistent experience in two very different environments. COMP has now earned U.S. News & World Report's Tier 1 recognition for primary care training for three consecutive years, and the panel breaks down why that matters for applicants.Sarah shares her nontraditional path: a literature degree, a career in book publishing, a mid-20s pivot, and what drew her to osteopathic medicine specifically. The panel also discusses COMP's longitudinal student tracks (business, rural health, sports medicine, and more), the technology-infused curriculum including simulation and AI exposure, and the robust student wellness infrastructure—from free yoga to open-door faculty.For applicants concerned about GPA and MCAT thresholds, Dr. Fraix and TJ offer a candid, encouraging reality check on holistic admissions and the one-year master's program that creates a pathway for promising candidates who don't yet meet full admission requirements.Related Resources:College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific (COMP) at Western University of Health SciencesExperience WesternU (preview day): August 22, 2026Dr. Lisa Warren, dean, Western University of Health Sciences COMP and COMP-Northwest: lwarren@westernu.eduDr. Marcel Fraix, associate dean, admissions and enrollment chair, professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation: mfraix@westernu.eduTJ Pe, assistant director of recruitment: pet@westernu.eduFollow UsYouTubeFacebookLinkedInContact Uswww.accepted.comsupport@accepted.com+1 (310) 815-9553

Who counts as homeless in America?If you ask the Department of Housing and Urban Development, around 750,000 people are homeless in America. If you ask the Department of Education, that number shoots up into the millions. What does this discrepancy tell us?  And how do our cultural ideas about homelessness shape who we see as homeless, and who gets help? To find out, Brittany talks with Dr. Margot Kushel, Director at the UCSF Benioff Homelessness and Housing Initiative, and Dr. Molly Richard, assistant professor in the Department of Public Health at the University of Rhode Island's College of Health Sciences.Want more deep dives on cultural taboos?  Check out these episodes:The truth about men on the 'down low'Why can't we be normal about polyamory?Support Public Media.

Clinical work with clients at high risk for suicide can make providers feel they are on a conveyor belt. One reason for this is that, sadly, so many people are struggling with crises and safety concerns; the demand for services seems never-ending. But another reason is more insidious: the risk of provider burnout. On today's episode, Dr. Erin Frick shares her perspective from working as a clinician and educator in the field of suicide prevention. Listen in as she encourages us to remain hopeful and connected with the “humanness” behind the crises. And if you have thoughts about how to “redefine the ‘wins' “ in this work, share them with us.Erin Frick, Psy.D., is a clinical psychologist and an Associate Director at the Consortium for Defense Psychology (CDP), located at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences.. At CDP, Dr. Frick leads the VA-Safeguard Suicide Prevention Project, where her team works to identify and implement best practices for suicide prevention among special veteran populations by leveraging evidence-based psychotherapies and VA standards of care. She also leads the DoD Child Collaboratory, a team dedicated to researching and implementing training and best practices for utilizing telehealth and digital tools to enhance healthcare and support for military youth and families.Resources mentioned in this episode: Therapeutic Risk Management Tool, available on the Rocky Mountain MIRECC website: https://www.mirecc.va.gov/visn19/trm/The benefits of mindfulness for stress reduction: Ameli R, Sinaii N, West CP, Luna MJ, Panahi S, Zoosman M, Rusch HL, Berger A.

If you've tried any gluten free bread products, chances are they left you with either an odd taste or poor texture. Alicia Lang, Community Manager and Nutrition Expert for Queen Street Bakery, educates us on how gluten free can be healthy and taste great. Alicia explains that Queen Street Bakery focuses on using high-quality, nutrient-dense ingredients like chia seeds to ensure both taste and health benefits, rather than compromising nutrition for taste. The discussion includes the importance of gluten-free products for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities, noting that many gluten-free options on the market lack proper nutrition. Consumers should hold food manufacturers to a high standard to ensure products are in-fact gluten free, verifying through third party testing procedures. Cross contamination during production could cause health reactions for certain consumers.  As a Registered Dietitian with a Master's in Health Science, Alicia combines scientific expertise with a genuine passion for making food that's both delicious and nourishing.

The most recent numbers show that two-thirds of abortions in the U.S. are medication abortions, while 29 percent of all U.S. abortions were telehealth medication abortions. Dr. Angel Foster, researcher at the University of Ottawa in the Faculty of Health Sciences, global abortion researcher, and co-founder of the Massachusetts Medication Abortion Access Project (MAP) sits down to talk with us about the work that MAP performs and the importance of shield laws for reproductive health care and gender-affirming care.Mifepristone, the first of two medications that people will take during a medication abortion, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2000. Decades of evidence shows its safety and effectiveness. Access to the two-drug regimen increased significantly via telehealth during the pandemic, which required a new regulatory framework in 2023. MAP, through state shield law protections, allows licensed Massachusetts clinicians to prescribe medication abortion to those anywhere in the country, regardless of the legal status of abortion in their state. This year, the Fifth-Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling that would prevent providers from sending medication abortion through the mail—thankfully, MAP was able to shift to a misoprostol-only regimen (also safe and effective)—but the mass confusion had been immediately impactful. As of now, a stay has been issued to halt this decision by the Fifth Circuit. For more information, check out That Aged Well: https://pod.link/1446333312Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.socialBuy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Today, Dr. Stanton Hom sits down with Dr. Patrick Flynn, a chiropractor, immunology geek, and founder of a rapidly growing network of clinics known for life-changing clinical results. In this episode, they unpack the clash between the dominant medical "firefighter" model and a chiropractic "carpenter" paradigm that sees the body as intelligently adaptive, not broken. From trauma, toxins, and thoughts to auto-suggestion, vaccines, fertility, and the gut–brain–immune connection, Dr. Flynn lays out how chiropractic thinking reshapes labs, lifestyle, and long-term outcomes. You'll hear real clinical stories, hard questions about responsibility and prevention, and a powerful call for chiropractors and patients alike to reclaim a vitalistic, principle-driven approach to health and freedom.   Highlights: "You don't see the world the way it is, you see the world the way you are."    "True preventative health care is more of a chiropractic principle."    "A true scientist will always have a comma in his sentence, not a period."   "I'm a chiropractor. That just separates me from the thinking that dominates us today."    Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction 01:39 – Medical vs. Chiropractic: Two Different Paradigms 03:31 – Innate Intelligence and the Adaptive Body 05:55 – Fever, Intelligence, and Misunderstood Symptoms 06:45 – Prenatal Case: Gestational Diabetes & Nervous System State 12:45 – Auto-Suggestion, Brainwashing, and Immune Collapse 18:24 – Firefighters vs. Carpenters: A New Healthcare Analogy 20:49 – What They Don't Tell You About Vaccines and Inflammation 36:29 – The Holistic Health Trap & Responsibility 42:17 – FBI at the Door & Standing on Principle Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom    Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/  Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com  Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc   Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/     About Dr. Patrick Flynn: Dr. Patrick Flynn is a chiropractor and the founder of The Wellness Way.

Today it is my great pleasure to talk with Dr Lara Sheehi about her new book, From the Clinic to the Streets: Psychoanalysis for Revolutionary Futures. We talk about the ways that those fighting for Palestinian liberation are constantly confronting what Sheehi calls “psychic intrusions,” which seek to interrupt and divert our energies. These intrusions take a number of forms, from direct attacks to insinuations of impropriety. Sheehi argues that these are forms of psychological warfare—backing up these claims by documenting the original tactics and strategies governments and other organizations used to discredit and disarm radical activists in the past, and seeing similar tactics today.  Against these psychic intrusions Lara mounts a forceful argument for us to develop and hold true to what she calls “psychic militancy.” She gives us many examples of both psychic intrusions and psychic militancy, thereby providing us with essential and powerful tools to recognize and resist the mundane and all too common efforts of Zionists and others to distract us from our work. This is a deeply therapeutic and empowering book, and useful to all radical activists.Lara Sheehi is a Research Fellow at the University of South Africa's Institute for Social and Health Sciences, a licensed clinical psychologist, and the host of the Psychic Militancy podcast. Lara's work focuses on psychoanalysis, the psychic refusals central to liberation struggles and life-making in the Global South, the psychic dimensions of resistance and revolution, and critical Zionism studies. She is the author of From Clinic to the Streets: Psychoanalysis for Revolutionary Futures (Pluto, 2026) and co-author with Stephen Sheehi of Psychoanalysis Under Occupation: Practicing Resistance in Palestine (Routledge, 2022). Lara is a member of the founding collective for the Institute for the Critical Study of Zionism and is on the advisory board for Forensic Architecture.

What does 30 years of elite movement — from rhythmic gymnastics to international circus performance — teach you about the body? And how does that change the way you use Pilates with athletes? In this episode of The Pilates Lounge Podcast, Katie Crane sits down with Lauren Skopal — exercise and sports scientist, founder of Limber Sports Performance, and former international acrobat. Lauren brings a rare perspective to movement education. Her background spans 12 years of competitive rhythmic gymnastics, 15 years performing aerial and acrobatic acts around the world, and a career in sports science and Pilates. The conversation is rich, honest, and packed with practical insight for Pilates professionals working with active bodies. In This Episode, We Discuss Lauren's journey from elite gymnastics to international circus performing — and how that shaped her body awareness Why gymnastics-trained athletes make the strongest performers in disciplines like circus and acrobatics Common injuries in artistic athletes and how Pilates supports long-term joint health How Pilates can be embedded into athlete warm-ups, cool-downs, and strength and conditioning programs The gap between sports science education and what Pilates actually teaches about the body Why niching down in your Pilates business actually brings in more clients, not fewer Lauren's new online flexibility program inspired by gymnastics-based training Key Takeaways ✨ Body awareness starts young — and Pilates builds on that Gymnastics trains the body from a young age to move with precision, control, and effortlessness. Pilates shares that same attention to detail. Lauren sees a natural connection between the two disciplines — and uses both to help athletes understand how their body works. ✨ Pilates belongs inside the training program, not just the rehab room Most athletes only discover Pilates after injury. But Lauren makes the case for weaving it into warm-ups, cool-downs, and accessory work — before problems arise. It doesn't need its own time slot to be effective. ✨ Core-driven movement is a performance tool, not just injury prevention Pilates builds stabilization, movement control, and muscular endurance. Lauren says that when athletes know how to use their core well, it improves force transfer, biomechanics, and overall performance — not just joint longevity. ✨ Niching down builds authority — and attracts more of the right clients Lauren focuses her practice on athletic populations. Katie reflects on the same choice in her own studio. When you know exactly who you serve, you become the go-to person for that group. Referrals follow naturally. About Lauren Skopal Lauren Skopal is an exercise and sports scientist and the founder of Limber Sports Performance. She has over 30 years of experience in sport and movement as an athlete, international performer, coach, consultant, and educator. Lauren competed in rhythmic gymnastics nationally in Australia for 12 years before spending 15 years as an international acrobat and circus performer. She holds a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport and Health Science and a Master of Applied Sports Science from Deakin University. Lauren works with artistic athletes, gymnasts, dancers, tennis players, and circus artists — helping them build the stability, mobility, and movement quality they need to perform at their best.
