Together, she and Debi explore the deeper terrain of bone health—how your immune system, nervous system, and even emotional experiences shape your risk for osteoporosis and osteopenia.This episode goes far beyond calcium and vitamin D. It's about understanding the environmental, biochemical, and emotional roots of bone loss so you can build strong, resilient bones for life.What You'll LearnHow mast cell activation (MCAS) contributes to inflammation that accelerates bone lossThe link between mold exposure, toxins, and the development of osteoporosis or osteopeniaWhy your symptoms may be communication, not malfunction, especially when it comes to bone healthHow emotional stress, trauma, and dysregulation of the nervous system can weaken bonesPractical, actionable ways to reduce toxic load and support bone densityHow to create balance physically, emotionally, and energetically to strengthen your bones from the inside outAction Steps Audit your environment: Look for hidden mold, water damage, or chemical exposures that may be fueling inflammation and bone loss.Clean up your kitchen: Swap non-stick pans for stainless steel, cast iron, or ceramic to reduce toxin exposure that affects bone health.Hydrate and nourish: Drink filtered water and build meals around whole, anti-inflammatory foods to support osteoporosis and osteopenia.Reduce daily toxic load: Avoid synthetic fragrances, plastic bottles, and harsh cleaners that may disrupt hormones and bone density.Calm your stress response: Use breathwork, meditation, or gentle yoga to regulate your nervous system and protect your bones.Seek functional support: Work with a practitioner if you suspect mold toxicity, MCAS, or chronic inflammation impacting your bones.Resources & LinksLearn more about Dr. Kelly McCann: The Spring CenterListen to more episodes of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle PodcastStrengthen from the inside out: Healthy Gut, Healthy Bones ProgramVisit debirobinson.com for resources and upcoming eventsDebi's TakeawayBone health is about much more than nutrients—it's about your environment, your stress levels, and how your body communicates with you.As Dr. McCann reminds us, inflammation, toxins, and emotional stress can erode bone strength just as powerfully as nutritional deficiencies.

You've heard the message: lift heavy to build strong bones. But what if that advice— when done too soon or without proper form — is leading more women to injury than strength?In this episode, Debi Robinson sits down with Carl Reeder, a functional movement specialist and strength coach, to unpack what it really means to build strength safely when you have osteoporosis or osteopenia.They dive into the difference between lifting heavier and lifting smarter, how to avoid common mistakes, and why true strength begins long before you ever pick up a dumbbell.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy “lift heavy” isn't one-size-fits-all advice for women with osteoporosis or osteopeniaThe importance of connection, communication, and control in building strength with women having bone health issuesHow the back body chain supports posture, balance, and bone strengthThe difference between safe strength and forced intensityHow to avoid injuries through awareness and progressionSimple ways to reconnect with your body before increasing loadAction StepsFocus on connection before load. Build awareness of your posture, movement, and alignment before adding weight.Train your back body. Strengthen your glutes, hamstrings, and spine to support your bones and balance.Slow down your movements. Time under tension builds more strength—and better form—than rushing reps.Listen to your body. Mild soreness means adaptation; sharp pain means stop.Work with a specialist. A qualified trainer or yoga therapist can help you progress safely and avoid unnecessary injuries.Resources and LinksLearn more: Healthy Gut, Healthy Bones ProgramWork one-on-one with Debi → Book a ConsultationFollow Carl Reeder for movement and strength training resourcesListen to more episodes → Stronger Bones Lifestyle PodcastDebi's Takeaway“You can't strengthen what you're not connected to.”When you move with awareness and respect your body's limits, you build not just stronger muscles—but a stronger foundation for life. Safe strength is strong strength.

When it comes to bone health, we often talk about calcium, vitamin D, or strength training — but few people realize that strong bones actually begin in the gut. In this solo episode, Debi Robinson explores one of the most overlooked root causes of bone loss and osteoporosis: poor digestion.Through years of working with women with osteoporosis and osteopenia — and interpreting countless stool labs—Debi has seen a clear pattern: when digestion falters, bones weaken. Because the truth is, it's not just what you eat—it's what you absorb.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy digestion is the foundation of bone healthThe step-by-step “mouth to bones” process of nutrient absorptionSigns your digestive system may not be working properlyHow poor digestion and inflammation trigger bone lossThe role of the gut-bone axis in osteoporosis and osteopeniaSimple, practical steps to support healthy digestion and stronger bonesAction StepsSlow down when eating. Take deep breaths and eat in a calm, mindful state to support proper digestion.Chew your food thoroughly. Digestion begins in the mouth—help your enzymes do their job.Stay hydrated, but skip large drinks during meals. Avoid diluting stomach acid.Add more fiber. Aim for 30 grams daily to support your microbiome and regular bowel movements.Consider functional testing. A stool lab can uncover the root cause of poor digestion or nutrient malabsorption.Resources and LinksLearn more: Healthy Gut, Healthy Bones ProgramWork with Debi one-on-one → Book a ConsultationMore episodes of the Stronger Bones Lifestyle Podcast → Listen Here
Are you feeling bloated, tired, or stuck with stubborn digestive issues—even though you're doing “everything right”? From probiotics to digestive enzymes, it seems like every influencer is promoting a new supplement that promises better gut health, more energy, and effortless weight loss. But here's the truth: not every supplement is helping you—and some could actually be making your symptoms worse. In this episode, I sit down with Steven Wright, founder of Healthy Gut, to unpack what's really going on with supplements like probiotics, enzymes, and paraprobiotics. We'll explore how to choose the right ones for your body, the science behind “dead” probiotics that support immune and brain health, and why sequencing your supplements could be the missing link in your healing journey. If you've ever felt confused standing in the supplement aisle or frustrated that your probiotics aren't working, this conversation is going to give you the clarity you've been craving. What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why your probiotic might be making your bloating, IBS, or fatigue worse—and how to know when to stop taking it. • The surprising truth about “dead” probiotics (paraprobiotics) and how they can actually calm your immune system and support brain health. • The difference between digestive enzymes taken with meals versus on an empty stomach—and how that timing can completely change your results. • Why sequencing your supplements matters: when to use probiotics, when to focus on enzymes, and when to let your gut rest. If you're tired of guessing what your body needs, this episode gives you a grounded, science-backed framework to make smarter supplement choices. You'll walk away understanding how to support gut health, energy, metabolism, and hormone balance—without wasting money on supplements that don't serve you. We cover everything from IBS, bloating, histamine intolerance, and brain fog to how chronic stress and inflammation influence digestion. You'll learn why fixing your gut is about timing, awareness, and the right tools—not just piling on more pills. Ready to simplify your supplement routine and finally feel better from the inside out? Listen now to uncover the truth about probiotics, enzymes, and the smarter way to heal your gut. Stop wasting time (and money) on products that don't work.

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a therapy that restores balance in the gut by transferring healthy bacteria, helping patients escape the cycle of repeated antibiotic failures and infections A recent clinical trial found that FMT was safe and well tolerated in frail long-term care patients, showing fewer bloodstream infections and less antibiotic use than standard care Even though transplant recipients still carried resistant bacteria, they experienced fewer serious infections, proving that restoring microbiome diversity strengthens the body's defenses against harmful microbes A national registry of 259 patients showed 90% were cured of recurrent Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) infection after just one FMT treatment, with results lasting beyond six months FDA-approved products like Vowst and Rebyota now make FMT accessible in oral capsule and rectal forms, offering new hope for those facing stubborn gut infections

In this special reverse interview episode, my friend and colleague Steven Wright from Healthy Gut interviews me about the core concepts from my upcoming book, The Biology of Trauma. Steven understands the somatic work, the parts work, the biology, the capacity, and the overwhelm from his own healing journey, making this conversation uniquely insightful. I share stories I haven't told anywhere else - including my keto diet disaster during surgery residency that became my first clue about the biology of trauma. We explore why I rewrote this book seven times, how I discovered I had all three major biochemical imbalances, and the painful decision to place my adopted son Miguel in a different home - the grief that ultimately led to my autoimmune diagnosis and this entire body of work. Key Topics & Timestamps [00:00] The Eight Drafts of the book: Dr. Aimie's journey as an author [04:12] Beyond ACEs Scores: Why we can become obsessed with our score [08:36] Capacity is Everything: Understanding your nervous system's dynamic capacity [13:47] The Biology Block: How Dr. Aimie discovered her own biology was sabotaging her trauma healing [21:55] The Pain Equation: When humans decide to change [25:44] Perception vs. Reality: How we create mountains from molehills [28:19] The Healing Timeline: Why trauma work doesn't have to be a lifelong journey [34:04] Safety First: The critical sequence for healing trauma without retraumatization [37:18] Stress vs. Trauma: The crucial distinction that changes everything [38:18] Miguel's Story: The heartbreaking adoption journey that changed Dr. Aimie Main Takeaways The Three-Legged Stool: True trauma healing requires addressing psychological, emotional, AND biological aspects simultaneously Biology Keeps You Stuck: Inflammation, oxidative stress, and biochemical imbalances create internal danger signals that perpetuate trauma responses Capacity Changes Moment to Moment: Your nervous system's capacity is dynamic and requires constant awareness, not just daily check-ins Perception Creates Your Reality: Your body responds to your perception of danger, not actual danger - making that molehill into a mountain The Right Sequence Matters: Creating safety must come before attempting to process trauma, or symptoms worsen Fast Healing is Possible: When addressing all three domains properly, healing happens faster than medication with only positive "side effects" Notable Quotes "If something makes you sick, that is not stress. Let's call it for what it is. That is your body having gone into a trauma response." "Our capacity is not being measured up against our reality, it's being measured up against our perceptions." "The pain of staying the same has to become so bad that we're willing to undergo the pain of change." "If their body had already felt safe, it would have already opened up all of this stuff and let all of these emotions and trauma go. It hasn't felt safe." Episode Takeaway Trauma healing doesn't have to be a lifelong journey. By understanding that trauma lives in your biology - not just your mind - and following the proper sequence of safety, support, then expansion, you can heal faster than traditional approaches suggest. The key is addressing all three aspects: psychological, emotional, and biological, rather than focusing on just one.

In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Jannine Krause explores the intricate relationship between weight gain and sexual health. She discusses how changes in body weight can affect circulation, confidence, and libido, and emphasizes the importance of addressing these issues holistically. Drawing from her experiences and insights from Chinese medicine, she highlights the role of digestion, stress, and lifestyle habits in weight management. The episode also offers practical solutions, including dietary adjustments and herbal remedies, to help listeners regain balance and improve their overall health. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Weight gain can impact sexual health and libido. Circulation changes with weight gain affect confidence. Chinese medicine offers insights into weight management. Damp accumulation in the body can lead to weight gain. Stress affects liver function and digestion. Eating habits and meal timing are crucial for digestion. Herbal remedies can support digestive health. Weight gain patterns are often linked to lifestyle changes. Maintaining balance in the body is essential for health. Open communication about sexual health is important in relationships. Resources From The Show: HCL Challenge - Get Thorne Betaine HCL + Pepsin - take one capsule with meal one and watch for any burning, no burning go for 2 capsules with the next meal and increase by one capsule till you either reach 5 capsules or you have a slight burning in the stomach. The more capsules you can tolerate without a burn the more deficient in stomach acid you are. Use 1 teaspoon of baking soda in a few ounces of water and drink it. You can repeat the baking soda drink if needed. Most people will end up taking between 2-6 HCI capsules per meal. Digestive Enzymes - Steven Wright's Company "Healthy Gut" - HCL Guard + Holozymes Apex Energetics - Enzymix Pro Active Herb - herbal company Blue Poppy Herbs Herbs I mentioned in the podcast: Gui Pi Tang — For weak digestion and fluid retention. If you feel puffy or gain weight quickly after eating, this is your ally. Shan Zha Jian Zhi Pian — This one breaks down fat. It's amazing for folks who stress eat or binge on sugar. Long Dan Xie Gan Wan — Helps the liver chill out, especially if you're dealing with reflux, constipation, and bloating. Ba Zhen Tang — When you're just wiped out, lacking motivation, or not even hungry, this one helps restore yang and blood to energize the body. Liu Wei Di Huang Wan — This is a staple for perimenopause and menopause support. It nourishes yin and helps with vaginal dryness, low libido, and overall hormone balance. Chinese Medicine Patterns I talk about: Damp accumulation: That puffy, sluggish weight gain Phlegm: Which is the Chinese term often equated to fat gain Liver Qi Stagnation: When stress causes your liver to "attack" your digestion Blood and Yang Deficiency: Low energy, lack of movement, low motivation
If you've been managing IBS by avoiding certain foods but still experiencing unpredictable flare-ups, you're not alone. Emerging science shows that IBS is a complex condition involving multiple body systems: your nervous system, immune response, and gut microbiome all influence how and when symptoms appear.For something so physical, IBS is rarely just about the gut.I created this IBS Masterclass podcast episode to help you finally understand what's really driving your symptoms. And it's not just about food. Stress, sleep, movement, and even your gut-brain connection can all play a role in making IBS worse.Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or IBS, affects nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide, yet it's still so often dismissed as "just a sensitive gut." The reality? IBS sits in that quiet, complicated space between physical and emotional. And we don't need more elimination diets or shame. We need understanding, compassion, and space to heal.To give you the clearest answers, I've brought together the world's leading gut health experts:Dr. Will Bulsiewicz – gastroenterologist and NYT bestselling author of Fiber Fueled, helping us understand the role of fiber, fermentation, and plant diversity in long-term digestive healthDr. James Kinross – colorectal surgeon and author of Dark Matter, exploring how gut bacteria influence inflammation, immunity, and disease riskDr. Emeran Mayer – gastroenterologist & neuroscientist, author of The Mind-Gut-Immune Connection, bringing over four decades of research into how emotions, microbes, and immunity shape the IBS experienceProfessor Felice Jacka – Director of the Food & Mood Centre at Deakin University, pioneer in nutritional psychiatry, uncovering how food and mental health are deeply connected through the gutWe explore: • How stress and trauma shape gut-brain signalling • Why the vagus nerve is a key player in digestion• The misunderstood link between emotional health and IBS • Whether FODMAP diets help or simply mask deeper issues • And how to create a sense of calm in your body that supports long-term healingThis isn't just a masterclass. It's a myth-busting, life-affirming conversation that every person with IBS deserves to hear. You'll discover why your body reacts the way it does and learn how to listen with more compassion. Because sometimes, what looks like bloating or discomfort is your nervous system saying, "I don't feel safe."If IBS has made you feel frustrated, alone, or disconnected from your own body, I hope this episode brings you clarity and relief. You deserve to feel at home in your body again.Love,Sarah Ann
