What if the body is capable of healing in ways medicine doesn't fully understand, even after a terminal or “incurable” diagnosis?In this eye-opening episode of Renegade Remission, we explore one of the most misunderstood — and hopeful — phenomena in medicine: spontaneous remission.Contrary to what most patients are told, spontaneous remission is not myth, magic, or wishful thinking. It is medically documented across cancer, autoimmune disease, neurological conditions, cardiovascular illness, and more, often in cases where recovery was never expected.Through real, peer-reviewed case studies and decades of research, this episode reveals how the immune system, nervous system, inflammation, stress biology, and gene expression can sometimes shift in ways that allow healing to unfold unexpectedly.In this episode, you'll discover:What spontaneous remission actually is — and what it is notA documented case where aggressive cancer began shrinking before treatment startedWhy the immune system can sometimes “wake up” and recognize disease againHow inflammation, stress hormones, and emotional shifts influence healing biologyWhy genes are not fixed — and how healing pathways can turn back onWhat spontaneous remission teaches us about possibility, not pressureThis episode isn't about false promises or magical thinking — it's about understanding how dynamic, adaptive, and surprising the human body truly is.Listen now to explore real cases of spontaneous healing and learn how to support the same biological pathways that appear again and again in remission stories. This episode will expand what you believe is possible — and help you take grounded, empowering steps toward healing today.DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.

Might asymptomatic food sensitivities to gluten, milk, peanuts, eggs, or shrimp increase the risk of premature death for those who eat these foods?

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.  Guest: Stephen Kopecky, M.D.  One of the biggest surprises we've seen in medicine in the past several years has been the numerous health benefits realized from the GLP-1 agonists. Originally developed for the management of diabetes, they've shown significant potential to improve cardiovascular risks, beyond controlling blood glucose and lowering hemoglobin A1c. Several studies have shown reductions in cardiovascular events including MI, stroke as well as reducing overall cardiovascular death. What is the mechanism of action for these cardiovascular benefits? Are there any differences in the various GLP-1 medications available and who's a candidate for a GLP-1 medication? I'll get answers to all of these questions and more in this podcast as I speak with Dr. Stephen Kopecky, a preventive cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic. We'll be discussing “GLP-1 Agonists and Reducing Cardiovascular Risk”.  Rx for Weight Loss: A Closer Look Series | Mayo Clinic School of Continuous Professional Development  Learn more at https://ce.mayo.edu/online-education/content/mayo-clinic-podcasts

Award-winning health journalist Meghan Rabbitt discusses her groundbreaking book, "The New Rules of Women's Health.” This conversation tackles what's broken in women's healthcare—from outdated anatomical terminology named after "pale, male, and stale" doctors to the dangerous myth that women are just "small men." They explore why heart disease (not breast cancer) is women's #1 killer, the clitoris as more than just a "button," autoimmune disease surges in midlife, and why menopause deserves better PR.Episode Overview (timestamps are approximate):(0:00) Cold Open: What's Broken in Women's Health(4:00) The Problem with “Bikini Medicine”(7:00) Why Language Matters: Renaming Our Body Parts(13:00) The Cow Clitoris Scandal & Female Anatomy(22:00) Heart Disease: Women's Real #1 Killer(27:00) Autoimmune Disease Surge in Midlife(34:00) Normalizing Suffering(42:00) How to Use This Book with Your Doctor(47:00) The Upsides of Menopause(51:00) After Party: Dr. Stephanie's Final ThoughtsResources mentioned in this episode can be found at https://drstephanieestima.com/podcasts/ep452We couldn't do it without our sponsors:JUST THRIVE HEALTH - Take the Just Thrive FEEL BETTER challenge today, and save 20% on your first order.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States—but much of it is preventable. In this first episode of a three-part heart health series, Dr. Michelle Plaster and Nurse Practitioner Amber Foster are joined by cardiologist Dr. Marcus Sims for an in-depth, practical conversation on coronary artery disease, heart attacks, and prevention.This episode focuses on what everyday people can do to protect their heart long before symptoms appear. Dr. Sims breaks down evidence-based screening tools like cholesterol testing and cardiac calcium scoring, explaining who should be screened, when to start, and how to interpret the results. The discussion also explores the role of genetics, lifestyle choices, and risk factors such as diabetes and family history.Listeners will gain clarity on:How diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes directly impact heart healthWhat cholesterol numbers actually matter—and why LDL is the primary focusWhen medications like statins are beneficial, and how they fit alongside lifestyle medicineWhy women's heart health is often overlooked—and how to recognize subtle warning signsHow preventive care today can help avoid invasive procedures laterWith real-world stories, clear explanations, and a balanced approach that blends natural lifestyle strategies with modern medical care, this episode empowers listeners to take ownership of their heart health.

What if people who beat terminal diagnoses aren't lucky outliers, but individuals who tapped into the same repeatable healing patterns?In this powerful episode of Renegade Remission, we explore seven consistent patterns that appear again and again in people who defied terminal or “incurable” diagnoses — across cancer, autoimmune disease, neurological conditions, heart disease, and more.These patterns come from peer-reviewed spontaneous remission literature, functional medicine case databases, oncology survivorship research, and thousands of documented recovery stories. Despite wildly different diagnoses and treatment paths, the same biological, emotional, and lifestyle themes keep showing up.This episode reframes healing not as a miracle reserved for a few — but as a set of human patterns that create an internal environment where healing becomes more biologically possible.In this episode, you'll discover:The seven most common patterns shared by people who outlived terminal prognosesWhy reducing inflammation, stress, and toxic burden matters more than perfectionHow the immune and nervous systems respond to safety, connection, and purposeWhy emotional shifts, trauma resolution, and meaning change biology — not just mindsetHow community, support, and integrative approaches consistently improve outcomesWhy healing works best as an ecosystem, not a single protocolYou'll also learn why these patterns are not a checklist — and how small, imperfect steps can still shift your biology toward resilience.Listen now to discover the seven healing patterns shared by people who defied terminal diagnoses — and learn how to begin aligning your body, nervous system, and immune system with those same pathways today.

Heart disease continues to be one of the leading causes of death in the United States, yet millions remain unaware of their personal risk, not due to apathy, but because they've never been taught what to look for. A recent survey from the Association of Black Cardiologists (ABC) found that 40% of respondents didn't know that there are two types of cholesterol, one “good” and one “bad.” This lack of education is putting lives at risk, especially in cardiology deserts, where access to care is limited. In fact, 44% of counties in the Southeastern U.S. have little or no access to a cardiologist.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Drs. Klaper and Fuhrman explain how whole food, plant-based diets reverse chronic diseases, debunk carnivore myths, and expose flawed nutrition studies. #PlantBasedHealing #NutritionScience #ChronicDiseaseReversal

For decades, heart disease has been framed as a problem of clogged arteries and cholesterol numbers. But what if that story is incomplete? In this episode of The Science of Self-Healing, we explore the missing link in cardiovascular disease: chronic inflammation. Far beyond a simple plumbing issue, the heart is an immune-responsive organ—constantly shaped by stress, environmental toxicants, infections, and the invisible pressures of modern life. You'll discover how chronic stress rewires immune signaling, why air pollution and heavy metals quietly inflame the cardiovascular system, and how infections can leave lasting inflammatory scars on heart tissue long after symptoms fade. I'll discuss the biology behind endothelial dysfunction, arrhythmias, heart failure, and plaque instability—and why inflammation is now recognized as the common thread connecting them all. This episode also explores what the science says about restoring healthier cardiac terrain: key inflammatory biomarkers to watch, the role of omega-3s and anti-inflammatory fats, the overlooked importance of thiamine and mitochondrial support, and lifestyle practices that activate the heart's natural anti-inflammatory pathways. If you've ever felt that conventional heart health advice doesn't tell the whole story, this conversation offers a new lens—one that shifts the focus from symptom suppression to understanding why the heart becomes vulnerable in the first place. Because heart disease isn't just about plaque. It's about inflammation, environment, and terrain.

In this eye-opening episode of The Health and Wellness Coach Journal Podcast, Dr. Jessica Singh speaks with Dr. William Davis, a cardiologist and New York Times bestselling author of Wheat Belly, Wheat Belly Cookbook, Wheat Belly 30-Minutes (or Less!) Cookbook, and Wheat Belly Total Health, as well as Wheat Belly 10-Day Grain Detox, Undoctored, and Super Gut. His newest book, Super Body: A 3-Week Program to Harness the New Science of Body Composition and Restore Your Youthful Contours, explores emerging science on body composition, the microbiome, and long-term metabolic health. Dr. Davis shares how his work as a cardiologist—and a personal turning point—led him to reexamine conventional approaches to heart disease risk. He discusses why wheat and sugar contribute to metabolic changes that negatively affect whole-body health. The discussion moves beyond diet to explore why removing harmful foods may only be the beginning. Dr. Davis explains how antibiotics, numerous medications, modern food, environmental exposures, chronic stress, and disrupted sleep deplete protective microbes, impacting various aspects of health. This episode also explores microbiome implications for women's and maternal health, infant development, SIBO, and the relationship between stress, sleep, circadian rhythm, and the gut–brain axis. Dr. Davis offers practical guidance for coaches and healthcare providers seeking credible, evidence-informed microbiome resources. Together, Dr. Singh and Dr. Davis discuss the education gap in medicine—particularly around nutrition and the microbiome—and why clinicians often need to expand beyond traditional training to support prevention and long-term healing. This conversation is a call to rethink prevention and recognize that rebuilding the microbiome is a powerful way to reclaim agency and improve health.

What if a diagnosis — even a terminal one — wasn't the end of your options, but the beginning of a more intentional healing journey?In this powerful episode of Renegade Remission, I sit down with Ryan Sternagel, founder of The Stern Method, to explore how his family navigated a life-threatening diagnosis, and why the principles they discovered apply far beyond cancer.While Ryan's story centers on his son Ryder's stage IV cancer diagnosis, the lessons that emerged are universal: how to advocate for yourself, integrate multiple healing modalities, listen to intuition, nourish the body deeply, and create an environment where healing becomes possible, regardless of the diagnosis.In this episode, you'll discover:Why second opinions, self-advocacy, and curiosity matter in any serious illnessHow nutrition, routine, and organization can support the body across chronic and terminal conditionsThe role of mindset, belief, and emotional safety in healing outcomesWhy intuition is critical in navigating complex illnessHow nature, community, and family support regulate the nervous system and immune responseHow integrative healing principles can be adapted to your unique diagnosis and circumstancesWhether you're facing cancer, ALS, MS, dementia, heart disease, autoimmune illness, or another life-altering diagnosis, this episode offers transferable tools and a reminder that healing is multi-dimensional.If this episode resonates and you're looking for education, guidance, or integrative support, here are ways to continue the conversation:Explore The Stern Method:Learn more at TheSternMethod.com, where Ryan shares resources focused on nutrition, mindset, organization, and integrative healing.

Doug Reynolds welcomes listeners back to the LowCarbUSA® Podcast with a guest who works in one of the most specialized—and most misunderstood—corners of cardiovascular medicine: the heart's electrical system.  Dr. David Nabert is an electrophysiologist ("EP" doctor), focused on heart rhythm disorders, and he's one of the featured speakers at the Boca Symposium for Metabolic Health (January 23–25)—including the event's full day-plus dedicated to cardiovascular conditions. What gives this episode its pull is the combination of clinical depth and lived experience. David isn't just talking about rhythm problems from a textbook perspective—he's explaining how his own curiosity about metabolic health evolved, what shifted when he started questioning conventional assumptions, and why those questions matter for real patients in the real world. David describes how his entry point into metabolic health didn't begin in a clinic—it began with a random Google search. In 2021, while looking up a cardiology formula, he accidentally landed on a Nina Teicholz talk at the Cato Institute. "I started to watch it, and all of a sudden, an hour and a half passed," he says—one of those moments where interest turns into momentum. He listened to Teicholz's book, The Big Fat Surprise, then began searching for more voices in the low-carb space and quickly reconnected with familiar names, including Dr. Robert Cywes and Dr. Eric Westman (both will also be presenting in Boca), whom he calls mentors. That exploration ultimately led him to the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners (The SMHP) and, importantly, a willingness to test ideas on himself. David is candid about his own weight journey. He describes a time when a body mass index under 25 felt "skinny" to him, and he's open about losing weight, regaining some after a series of hip surgeries, and continuing to work on it. What ultimately shifted, though, wasn't just the number on the scale—it was how he began to rethink what "doing everything right" actually means. For years, he approached weight loss the way many clinicians were trained to: low-fat, high willpower, endure the hunger. He describes his old strategy bluntly: "The only way I had lost weight… was by doing protein sparing modified fast… I was just eating almost no fat." Predictably, it wasn't sustainable. When he later shifted to a lower-carb, higher-fat approach—"bacon, eggs, hamburger"—he was "amazed at how quickly I started to lose weight," and he began seeing changes in markers that traditional cardiology often de-emphasizes. After stopping long-term statin therapy (which he had been on for 25 years), he saw his LDL return to roughly where it had been earlier in life, but other changes caught his attention: triglycerides dropped to the lowest he'd ever seen, HDL improved, and fasting insulin improved as well. Just as meaningful were the changes he felt: "Every 10 or 20 pounds I lost, my hips got better," he says, attributing it not only to less load, but "also part of it was less inflammation." From there, the episode moves into the heart of why David is speaking during the cardiovascular-focused programming in Boca: rhythm, electricity, and the surprising overlap between conditions that seem unrelated—like seizures and arrhythmias. David explains that early ketogenic diet research in the 1920s focused on refractory seizures, and he argues the connection matters because many antiarrhythmic drugs and antiseizure drugs overlap mechanistically. In his view, these aren't separate worlds. "Treating seizures or treating cardiac arrhythmias is basically two faces of the same coin," he says—and that opens a practical question: if ketosis can help reduce seizures, might it also influence certain rhythm symptoms? He shares a striking clinical example that stuck with him: a former submariner with PTSD and episodes of fast heart rates who said, "I know when I'm… ketogenic… when I fall off the wagon… then I start having palpitations and fast heart rates." David later learned the patient was experiencing atrial fibrillation, and while he's careful not to overpromise, he describes a pattern he's observed: in earlier stages of rhythm problems, being in a ketogenic state may reduce symptoms and potentially slow progression for some people. "It doesn't cure atrial fibrillation," he emphasizes, but he's seen ketosis "improves symptoms," not only in AFib, but in other rhythm issues like SVT and PVCs—especially early on. From there, David widens the frame to what he's seeing in younger patients—particularly young women—showing up with palpitations, rapid heart rate, anxiety, and signs of metabolic dysfunction even when they don't "look" unhealthy by BMI alone. "Only 90% of them are metabolically unhealthy," he says, describing a familiar cluster: A1C not quite normal, resting heart rates high, daytime heart rates that shouldn't be running 100–120, and a nervous system dialed up in what he calls a "hyper adrenergic state." The mainstream response is often medication—beta blockers, for example—but David argues metabolic context matters, and he's exploring how nutritional strategies (including ketosis, sometimes even supplemental ketones) may reduce symptom burden in certain cases. He also discusses POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), noting it can be associated with viral infections and has become more common since "the bad virus we had five years ago." Again, he's measured in his claims: ketosis isn't a cure, but he's seen it help reduce symptoms in select patients who have tried many other standard approaches first. The second half of the conversation touches on medications and the tension between "lower the number" cardiology and whole-person outcomes. David brings up PCSK9 inhibitors and recalls being troubled by early data patterns: "You were less likely to die from that, but you're more likely to die from cancer or infection… And… the overall mortality was the same." That line of thinking captures what pushed him toward metabolic health: a concern that focusing on a single marker can obscure the bigger picture of risk, resilience, and long-term outcomes. He also discusses SGLT2 inhibitors (like Jardiance and Farxiga) as potentially useful tools—especially in heart failure and diabetes—while stressing the importance of monitoring and hydration. In a moment that captures both his clinical caution and his enthusiasm for empowered patients, he tells people who go low carb on these meds to "get a Keto Mojo to check your ketone levels," because the goal is to use tools intelligently, not blindly. As the episode closes, Doug returns to the bigger mission behind the upcoming Boca program: helping attendees develop a confident, educated response to the most common fear tactic people face when they change their diet—LDL, heart attacks, and the assumption that low carb automatically means danger. Doug notes there are still "so few that really do get it and support it and talk about it," which is exactly why the cardiovascular-focused day-plus at the Boca Symposium for Metabolic Health (January 23–25) matters. David, for his part, is grateful to be part of it—and to be healthy enough to show up differently than last time. He reminds Doug that at previous events he was "either walking with one or two canes," but now, "I'm actually not going to run up on the stage, but I'll be moving pretty quickly." That moment captures the heart of the episode: metabolic health isn't theoretical. It's lived. And in Boca, that lived experience meets serious clinical discussion—especially for anyone trying to better understand cardiovascular risk, rhythm disorders, and the metabolic foundations that too often go unaddressed. If this conversation sparks your curiosity, the next step is obvious: join the community in Boca January 23–25 and immerse yourself in a day and a half of cardiovascular-focused talks designed to help you think more clearly, speak more confidently, and act more effectively—whether you're a clinician, a patient, or someone trying to help the people you love.

Heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death globally, despite medical advancements and powerful drugs. But what if we've been missing the mark on how the heart truly works? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Stephen Hussey, a board-certified chiropractor, functional medicine practitioner, and expert in heart health, to explore his groundbreaking insights on cardiovascular wellness. After experiencing a widowmaker heart attack in his 30s, Dr. Hussey dove deep into research to understand the heart's true role in our overall health. His findings challenge conventional wisdom, focusing not only on heart function but also the metabolic factors that contribute to chronic diseases. In this conversation, we dive into: ·       How heart health is interconnected with metabolism and overall well-being. ·       The surprising science of light therapy and structured water on cardiovascular health. ·       How lifestyle changes can significantly impact heart health from a biochemical perspective. ·       The true drivers of heart disease, oxidative stress, and common myths about cholesterol and fat. In his book, Understanding the Heart, Dr. Hussey provides a fresh perspective on heart disease and cholesterol myths while challenging outdated ideas about what truly drives cardiovascular health.

What if a life-threatening health crisis wasn't just a tragedy — but an opportunity?In this episode of Vedge Your Best, Michele talks with Sherry Shrallow, author of Staying ALive, plant-based educator, and longtime advocate for using food as a tool for prevention, healing, and service.At 56, Sherry was an active, fit woman eating what she believed was a heart-healthy diet when she suffered a sudden heart attack while at work. What followed included emergency surgery, a complicated recovery, and a profound reckoning with what she had not been told about heart disease, lifestyle, and prevention.Sherry shares how discovering whole-food, plant-based nutrition — including the early work of Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn — changed the course of her health and her life. She also reflects honestly on depression after surgery, rebuilding strength and routine, navigating imperfection, and learning how to get back on track without shame.This conversation goes beyond food. Sherry talks about meditation, yoga, purpose, and why helping others — including through the Vegan Volunteer Corps, where she helps provide plant-based meals to people experiencing homelessness — has become a central part of her healing and happiness.If you've ever wondered whether change is still possible, whether it's “too late,” or how to move forward without perfection, this episode offers clarity, realism, and hope.In this episode, we discuss:Sherry's heart attack at age 56 and the long recovery that followedWhy heart disease often develops quietly — even in people who think they're healthyWhat she learned (and wasn't told) about food, lifestyle, and preventionDiscovering whole-food, plant-based eating as a powerful interventionDepression after major illness and the importance of routine and purposeWhy this wasn't a tragedy, but an opportunityTeaching cooking classes and making plant-based food accessibleThe Vegan Volunteer Corps and using food to serve othersLetting go of perfection and learning how to get back on trackWhy it's never too late to improve the quality of your life Sherry's YouTube Channel — Chef Sherry's Plant-Based KitchenSubscribe & Review:If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 46: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: Well, that's it in sum, isn't it? He's "El Presidente" now, isn't he? Military Dictator. Succeeding Maduro. Until he finds somebody else to “run” it. Not the elected Vice President. Not the actual winner of the last election. Not the U-N. Maybe somebody he, in his dysfunctional haze, somebody he can trust. Maybe an oil executive. Or Elon Musk. Or Catturd. The invasion was illegal there, and illegal here. The kidnapping was illegal. Declaring we would run it is illegal. Naming a proxy dictator is illegal. As was his threat yesterday to the acting president that quote “if she doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro” and calling for her belief that her country shouldn’t be invaded by another country breaking its own laws is quote “defiant rejection.” THAT’S illegal. It’s all illegal. That’s a lot of illegal – even for Trump. And I say this, hating Maduro completely. So he needs to be impeached, if not now then a year from now. Rubio can be impeached now for deceiving Congress about its approval. And both of them turned over to the World Court. And the ramifications are almost uncountable, including emboldening them to consider this in Cuba, Greenland, Iran. The poll numbers are terrible, and the risk to Americans of terrorism and violence are just as terrible. And maybe worst of all the evidence of linkage between Putin's strange silence about his ally Maduro, and Trump's dithering about Ukraine, is terrible too. But at least it produced a pretty good Olivia Nuzzi joke. ALSO: WHY DID THEY CHANGE THE TRUMP HEALTH COVER-UP STORY AGAIN? Five significant changes, about his MRI/CT, his cardiovascular health, and now the total of Cognitive tests he's gotten in just the last nine months. Three? Not two? He's really needed three tests in nine months? To repeat the insightful question from his niece Mary Trump: Why do they have to keep giving him cognitive tests? B-Block (40:00) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: There's begging the new boss to let you keep your current job, then there's what CBS Legal Analyst Jan Crawford is doing for Bari Weiss to try to keep hers. Chuck Schumer comes out firing on Venezuela: with one-millionth of one barrel blazing. And just when you think Cheryl Hines can't get any dumber, Tucker Carlson tries to talk to her about vaccines. C-Block (50:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: Will Ferrell did a great comedy bit at the L.A. Kings hockey game on New Year's Day and he did it for the pure joy of it. Which reminded me of the difference between amateurs and pros, and of the days when "Anchorman" was new and Will and I ad libbed a pretty good comedy bit that he said he really loved doing.

Has physical intimacy in your relationship started to feel like a source of anxiety rather than connection? You are not alone. In this episode of the Communicate and Connect Podcast, I'm joined by physical therapist Eve Hall to discuss a topic that many couples struggle with in silence: Erectile Dysfunction (ED). We often see a pattern where a physical struggle leads to emotional withdrawal. One partner feels shame, the other feels rejected, and suddenly, a "blockage" in the body becomes a blockage in the relationship cycle. Today, we're slowing down and getting curious about the physical, emotional, and relational sides of sexual health. What You'll Learn in This Episode: [00:00] - Why Men Hide Erectile Dysfunction [00:31] - Introducing Eve Hall: Physical Therapy for Sexual Health [2:24] - How Common is ED?

What if the reason healing hasn't felt sustainable isn't because you're doing it wrong, but because you've been chasing it instead of living it?In this special New Year episode of Renegade Remission, you're invited to step into 2026 with clarity, intention, and an embodied vision of healing that feels lived, rather than forced.Rather than setting rigid resolutions or adding more rules, this episode guides you into a deeper relationship with your body, your intuition, and the version of you that already knows how to heal.In this episode, you'll experience:A guided visualization to meet your healed self and learn what healing actually feels like in your bodyA simple daily ritual that anchors healing into your everyday life without overwhelmOne sustainable rhythm to carry into 2026 that keeps your healing front and centerA mindset shift that moves you from effort and pressure into presence and trustThis episode isn't about fixing yourself.

A groundbreaking study of over 300,000 adults found that smoking just two to five cigarettes daily raises your risk of heart failure by 50% and death by 60% They also found that dropping from 20 cigarettes to two per day did not produce a proportional drop in danger, concluding that there is no safe limit when it comes to smoking Smoking damages nearly every system in your body, accelerating disease, weakening immunity, and increasing your risk of cancer, oral disease, inflammation, and chronic lung damage Vaping is just as harmful as cigarettes, as it raises your risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a serious lung condition that makes breathing difficult Quitting smoking can be easier by preparing your body in advance — build resilience through a healthy diet, regular movement, and stress management tools, and seek professional help if needed

What if the biggest thing holding your healing back isn't your diagnosis, but the way you've been taught to think about healing?As we step into 2026, this episode of Renegade Remission focuses on the single most important mindset shift you can make for your healing journey. Not a new diet. Not a new supplement. Not a new protocol; rather, a fundamental change in how you relate to your body, your intuition, and uncertainty itself.We explore the difference between fear-based healing, which is driven by anxiety, control, and perfection, and trust-based healing, which restores connection, safety, and the body's natural ability to repair.In this episode, you'll discover:Why fear-based healing creates tension, blocks intuition, and slows progressHow trust-based healing supports nervous system regulation and resiliencePractical ways to shift from rigid rule-following to intuitive, embodied decision-makingHow to reconnect with your body's innate intelligence even when outcomes feel uncertainA guided reflection to anchor this mindset as you move into the new yearThis shift doesn't require certainty.

In this episode of the Let's Go Win Podcast, JM sits down with Dr. Nathan Bryan, one of the world's leading experts on nitric oxide, to unpack why this tiny gas molecule may be the most overlooked driver of long term health, performance, and aging. Discovered as a signaling molecule only a few decades ago and recognized with a Nobel Prize, nitric oxide quietly regulates blood flow, inflammation, mitochondrial function, and immune balance. Dr. Bryan explains why the loss of nitric oxide production is now considered the earliest event in many chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, neurodegeneration, autoimmune conditions, and poor wound healing. Together, they explore what destroys nitric oxide in modern life, what daily habits restore it, and how small changes in breathing, diet, oral care, movement, and sleep can create outsized improvements in energy, cognition, vascular health, and recovery. Key takeaways: Why nitric oxide is a root level regulator of cardiovascular, metabolic, immune, and mitochondrial health How reduced nitric oxide production is linked to nearly every age related chronic diseaseThe surprising role of the oral microbiome in nitric oxide production and systemic health Why antiseptic mouthwash, excess sugar, fluoride exposure, and chronic antacid use can sabotage nitric oxide pathways How nasal breathing directly increases nitric oxide and improves oxygen delivery The impact of intermittent fasting and blood sugar control on vascular and mitochondrial function Which daily habits reliably stimulate nitric oxide production through natural mechanisms What to know about beet products, supplements, and nitric oxide delivery methods that actually work How restoring nitric oxide can translate into better blood pressure, energy, sleep, healing, and cognitive clarity Why lifestyle based nitric oxide support may outperform many pharmaceutical approaches for prevention and longevity This episode is for anyone who cares about aging well, preventing chronic disease, improving performance, or taking ownership of their health beyond symptom chasing. If you are a high performer dealing with fatigue, inflammation, poor recovery, brain fog, blood pressure issues, or metabolic challenges, this conversation will give you a new lens on what might be missing. You will walk away with a practical checklist you can apply immediately, a deeper understanding of how your daily habits either block or support your body's natural healing systems, and a science backed framework for improving health from the ground up. This is not about biohacking trends. It is about restoring a fundamental biological signal your body depends on to thrive. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What if the heaviness you feel this time of year isn't weakness or depression, but a biological response to missing light?In Day 11 of The 12 Days of Holiday Resilience, we explore how light, both literal and symbolic, directly affects your nervous system, immune function, inflammation, mood, and energy. As the darkest days of the year arrive, this episode reframes winter not as something to “push through,” but as a season that invites restoration, reflection, and healing when supported correctly.You'll learn how circadian rhythm, sunlight exposure, and even small rituals of warmth can dramatically shift how your body experiences winter, especially if you're living with chronic illness, cancer, autoimmune disease, or neurological conditions.By the end of this episode, you'll understand:How light exposure regulates sleep, inflammation, mood, and immune signaling—and why this matters deeply for healingWhy vitamin D, circadian rhythm, and morning light are foundational tools, not wellness extrasSimple, gentle winter rituals that create emotional warmth and nervous system safety to protect mood, energy, and healing during the winterHow to use symbolism, connection, and reflection to transform darkness into grounding rather than despairYou'll see how even brief, intentional moments of light, from things such as sunlight, candles, warmth, or connection, send powerful signals of safety and resilience to your body.Listen now to learn how to bring light into the darkest week of the year to support your mood, your immune system, and your healing journey through winter and the holidays.

As Republicans trip over themselves trying to explain why Jeffrey Epstein's emails are “no big deal,” we're all being reminded how easily the powerful can redefine sexual violence when it suits their needs.Meanwhile our friend Dan Cass has been living the opposite nightmare. Dan was falsely accused by his ex-girlfriend of sexual assault, and unlike Republicans who can just get Megyn Kelly to shrug it off, Dan lost work, relationships, and nearly his mind trying to clear his name.But here's the twist: Dan did what almost nobody does, he successfully fought the defamatory allegations with a lawyer and prevailed.What happens when the reality of violence is manipulated by unscrupulous people?Today comedian Dan Cass joins us to talk about what it's like to survive false accusations in a world where people tend to believe gossip over facts, and how he managed to rebuild his life and career.Also joining us is Dan's brand-new wife, visual artist and hip-hop dancer Jessica, who married him just three weeks ago. Jessica has been with Dan since the allegations started and has supported through the whole ordeal.Join us for this and all the hot news:• Did Trump Suck Bubba off?

Dr. Erin Faules joins cardiologist Dr. James Min to discuss how coronary CT angiography can identify coronary artery disease before symptoms appear. They explain why plaque itself—not cholesterol levels or stress tests—is the underlying disease, how plaque type and burden shape cardiovascular risk, and why many heart attacks occur without prior warning. The conversation explores how imaging can guide more individualized prevention, inform treatment over time, and shift cardiology toward earlier, disease-focused care.

RFK Jr., Junk Science, and the Dangerous War on Public Health | Karel Cast A headline from The Hill claims “the war on saturated fat was never based on good science.” That claim is false — and dangerous. Decades of peer-reviewed research link high saturated fat intake to heart disease and serious health outcomes. Yet RFK Jr. is pushing this narrative anyway. Since entering office, RFK Jr. has systematically dismantled public-health safeguards — from vaccines to nutrition policy — gutting the CDC and undermining trust in science. So the real question becomes: why is he willing to gamble with Americans' lives? On today's episode of The Karel Cast, we break down how misinformation around food and health becomes policy — and who pays the price. Plus: how much does each state actually contribute to the U.S. GDP? The numbers are shocking, and they completely undercut MAGA talking points about “who carries the country.” And finally: Hollywood's “woke” reputation vs. reality. Over 90% of what Americans watch is created by white people, with nearly 80% by white men. Is this just demographics — or a full-scale regression to old power structures? This episode connects health, economics, media, and power — and why all of it matters right now. The Karel Cast is supported by your donations at patreon.com/reallykarel.

Episode Description Your cardiologist measures cholesterol and blood pressure—but completely ignores the emotional stress that's silently restructuring your heart. Dr. Sandeep Jauhar, world-leading cardiologist and New York Times bestselling author, reveals what the medical establishment refuses to acknowledge: grief, chronic stress, and anger don't just feel bad—they physically transform cardiac tissue. Twenty percent of heart attack patients have zero traditional risk factors. The missing link? Unprocessed emotional pain. This episode exposes the phenomenon cardiologists are finally documenting: "broken heart syndrome" (Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy), where acute emotional trauma causes the heart to balloon into a measurable, distinctive shape within hours. Dr. Jauhar shares actual patient scans proving that grief, loneliness, and stress create visible cardiovascular damage—and reveals groundbreaking research showing stress management reverses arterial plaque more effectively than diet or exercise alone. The controversial truth? Modern medicine focused exclusively on what it could measure—cholesterol, blood pressure—while ignoring what it couldn't prescribe pills for: toxic relationships, workplace stress, unresolved grief, and social isolation. As Dr. Jauhar explains: "We can give a pill for blood pressure. We can give a pill for cholesterol. You can't really give a pill to change the emotional dynamic of someone's life." Discover the hidden science behind emotional cardiac damage, including research on Japanese immigrants showing psychosocial disruption increases heart disease even with identical cholesterol and blood pressure levels, and the rabbit study proving that connection and affection reduced arterial plaque by 40%—on the exact same high-fat diet. The ancient Greeks understood what we forgot: the heart is both physical pump and emotional epicenter. If you've been told your heart is "healthy" based on lab work alone while anxiety, grief, or chronic stress drain your vitality, this episode reveals the critical piece your doctor never measured. Your emotional life isn't separate from your physical survival. It's the foundation.

I am honored to have Dr. Tom Dayspring join me again today for another AMA session. He and I have done eight podcasts before, and this is a continuation of our last Ask Me Anything episode.  Dr Dayspring is an esteemed expert on internal medicine and clinical lipidology. He is likely one of the most influential worldwide lipid experts, so I am thrilled to have him back with me to dive into various topics related to listener questions, including the impact of hormone replacement therapy on lipid changes, methods of administration, and why bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is preferable for managing both menopausal symptoms and lipid health. We discuss medications, including PCSK9 inhibitors and GLP-1s, as well as intermittent fasting, lipids, and cardiovascular disease risk. We also examine how heart disease develops gradually, over time, the impact of stress and lifestyle, and Dr. Dayspring shares the labs he recommends beyond traditional lipids, ApoB, and LpA. In our discussion, Dr. Dayspring noted that he was not in a position to speak about GLP-1 therapies or microdosing. Since I received many questions from listeners on those topics, I will host a future solo AMA to address some of their concerns. Today's conversation with Dr. Tom Dayspring is truly invaluable, and I trust you will walk away with valuable insights you can share with your healthcare providers. We created a PDF - cynthiathurlow.com/lipids -  specifically for listeners that outlines key labs to discuss with your providers and questions to ask them to help you advocate for your own health and your family members' health. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why being physically fit does not always eliminate the risk of heart problems arising How ApoB and cholesterol contribute to heart disease over decades Why the early testing of risk factors is essential How chronic stress increases the risk of heart disease  How high cortisol affects insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation How stress impacts endothelial and nitric oxide function The link between low Omega-3 levels and heart problems How insulin resistance degrades heart health How high homocysteine levels can impair endothelial function and contribute to cardiovascular problems Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on⁠ X⁠,⁠ Instagram⁠ &⁠ LinkedIn⁠ Check out Cynthia's⁠ website⁠ Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community ⁠(The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow⁠)⁠ ⁠ Cynthia's⁠ Menopause Gut Book⁠ is on presale now!

Transformations are often quite painful. Whether we're growing emotionally or undergoing a physical metamorphosis, real change usually demands discomfort, and sometimes even danger.In Jon M. Chu's Wicked films, the characters literally burst through their own limits: they sprout wings, become tin or straw, or learn to fly by defying gravity.Like all the past Wizard of Oz books and films, Wicked is a mirror of its time. Since the Covid pandemic, conservative movements around the globe have seized on a new scapegoat: openly trans and gender-diverse people. Despite being a tiny fraction of the population, trans folks have been painted as a massive cultural threat, a convenient distraction and a powerful tool for those hungry to seize political power.So what can Wicked teach us about facism? What can Elphaba's journey reveal about the machinery of oppression and about the yellow brick roads queer and trans people are still carving toward liberation?Today we're joined by trans-tech visionary Violet Kitajewski to explore Wicked as an allegory for LGBTQ resilience, transformation, and resistance. After all, that gravity isn't going to defy itself.Plus-- Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande announce they are in a “non-demi-curious, semi-binary relationship.”FEATURED MUSIC:Here Comes the Hurricane Legendary Katrina - Kevin JZ Prodigy★ https://youtu.be/GMKaa_q1eCg?si=d0F5b7bV9eSpG6_mFOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM:★ instagram.com/transosaur★ instagram.com/faustofernos ★ instagram.com/marcfelionHelp Fausto & Marc Fight Blindness and Heart Disease★ https://gofund.me/00771d8fe
