Tuesday, May 13 -  Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with the good news for celiac disease and gluten intolerance sufferers that the act of kissing does NOT pose an increased risk of cross contamination with gluten. That's the good news. Unfortunately, some bad news found in a new study of how cinnamon might affect how our bodies absorb medication and how much cinnamon is too much cinnamon, a new report found an increase in doctors quitting their field over burnout, and the use of meal delivery services that may be able to help you maintain better health and improve your at-home eating habits. Then, the conversation shifts to if plastics making their way into our bodies and affecting our health, a major food recall with Martinelli's apple juice related to mold toxins, and an unpredicted bonus effects Ozempic and Wegovy users are finding in the reverse of fatty liver disease. The conversation shifts to the benefits of marijuana use while pregnant. Spoiler Alert  There aren't enough pros that outweigh the risk. Doug and Dr. Ken agree against pregnant women using marijuana products. Lastly, Doug and Dr. Ken address listener questions, including how to find out which supplements are best for you and how much to take, and how to reduce stress. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Hey sister. Pregnancy after loss is never easy. Even when you know all the right things to do. Even when your hormones look great. Even when God gives the green light. This week, I'm sharing a very real and raw episode about the 3 signs I personally look for in a healthy pregnancy—both in my clients and in my own journey. I'll tell you exactly what's happening in my pregnancy right now, what I tracked before conceiving, and how I'm using tools like the INITO monitor (and the Holy Spirit!) to stay connected to my body and to God. If you're trying to conceive—or just got that positive test and feel scared—this one's for you. Episode Highlights: The biggest thing I did before getting pregnant again Why charting your cycle reveals so much more than you think What progesterone, estrogen, and even nausea tell us A warning about hormone-tracking tech (and what I recommend instead) A beautiful reminder about abiding in Christ In His good Grace, Bekah      Resources & Links: ✨ 15% off INITO monitor with code SETFREE15 ✨ I've put together a free faith-filled booklet to help guide you through this journey. It's called Faith-Driven Fertility, and it's full of practical steps and encouragement for trusting God while supporting your body for conception.

While we wait for Ashleigh to recover from her second birth, we decided to re-release an episode from before the rebranding of the podcast. Back in 2021, when the podcast was called Muscle Maven Radio, Ashleigh did a long deep dive about her pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience with her son Magnus. If you're pregnant, looking to become pregnant, know someone going through this, or simply love hearing these kinds of stories, this one is for you.  She covers a lot of her decision-making processes around how she decided to eat, workout, her birth plan and birth team, her mindset, how she specifically "prepared" for birth, her recovery journey, and so much more. Hopefully this episode helps you get more clarity on making your own decisions around your birth story. Thanks for listening and please send your feedback, questions, or topic ideas to musclescience4women@gmail.com. Shoutout to our show sponsor Active Stacks! They make high-quality collagen peptide powder and beef protein powder in two delicious flavors, chocolate and vanilla. They're made with cocoa and vanilla paste, not that unexplained "natural flavoring" you see listed everywhere, so it tastes better and mixes well into your protein shakes or baking.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Andrea: Hi Dr. Cabral - I'd love your input on what steps when trying to conceive to have the healthiest pregnancy possible. I love your book, and I'm doing many of the practices in it (epsom baths, IR sauna, taking the greens and daily nutritional support, exercise, etc.). I have done some nutrient testing through a nutritionist, so I'm taking extra vitamin D, B12, and iron. Also, I'm doing the 7-day detox now so that I can do it before trying next month. What is your advice on what I should (and shouldn't) be doing pre-pregnancy, and if there are any other tests you'd recommend (like testing for the Congenital cytomegalovirus infection/CMV)?Thank you for consistently presenting content in a rational, unbiased, and non-fear-mongering way!                                                                                                                                                           Cara: My family does not eat a healthy diet, I know this, but its so hard to change. It's incredibly overwhelming. I have 2 young children and I would like to provide better meals for them but I just get overwhelmed with all the messaging and what to feed them and what not to feed them that I just sink back to what I know and what I know they will eat. Help! where do I start to make changes                                                                                                                                                  Sally: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you so much for your  willingness to help others! I am writing to you in regard of my dad. He is a 60 year old mechanic who has never really taken care of his body. About 4 years ago he was diagnosed with cancer and since has had treatment to essentially kill it. He has been cancer free since. Over the past few months he has been feeling chest tightness and arm pain, which landed him in the ER to get 3 stents put in his main left artery. He is healing and starting to slowly get back to work. I think this was a scare for him and he is going to start taking his eating habits seriously. Anyways, he has been saying for years now that drinking water gives him heartburn. I assume this is all connected back to his diet but wanted to get your thoughts if there is something specific we can look into further. We just ordered him the inflammation test from your site as a starting place. Thanks as always. Sally.                                Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, I am a 63 year old female, eat a Mediterranean diet, do the big 5 annually, sauna daily and cold plunge 2-3 times per week. My exercise regimen includes, resistance, HITT and SIT 4-5 times per week. My question is, am I trying too hard? I often feel a wired when I should be tired and alternately run down for no apparent reason. My HRV can be as high as 65 when I'm detoxing and 20-30 when I'm living my normal life. I take a multitude of supplements, based on my IHP's recommendations (ie; all of the basics plus adrenal soothe, adrenal support, estrogen support, DHEA) , as well as several of the supplements you recommend, (ie; Berberine, functional mushrooms, metavolve.). Plus, I take 5 CBD gummies 3 x per day to control anxiety and NAC for mthfr gene. Please advise                                    Carrie: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have heard there's some controversy around nano hydroxyapatite, specifically that it can lead to liver and kidney issues, is carcinogenic, etc. This is a great ingredient to build teeth and reduce cavities, but I don't want to give it to my child if it's toxic and builds up in the system. What has your research on this ingredient shown, and are there any safe brands such as Primal Life Organics. If not, what is an alternative.
