In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals how most people are using olive oil completely wrong — and how drinking high-quality extra virgin olive oil at the right time can melt belly fat, lower cortisol, reduce inflammation, and boost metabolic health in as little as one day. Ben explains the science behind olive oil's fat-burning power, including how it activates PPAR-alpha, improves GLP-1, stabilizes blood sugar, lowers insulin, and shuts down inflammation at the cellular level. He also breaks down how polyphenols like oleocanthal help regulate the HPA axis, improve sleep, boost autophagy, and enhance brain clarity. You'll learn the biggest mistakes people make with olive oil, why most store-bought oils are fake or oxidized, and why early-harvest, cold-pressed, high-polyphenol oil is essential. Ben shares his exact olive oil protocol, including: The morning fasted olive oil shot to lower cortisol How to pair olive oil with high-polyphenol foods When to take olive oil before meals for smaller glucose spikes How to use it at night or during 3 a.m. wake-ups His one-day “fat loss reset” using olive oil He also discusses why he personally uses the Fresh Pressed Olive Oil Club and offers his audience an exclusive “buy 2, get the 3rd free” link: http://benazadi.com/oliveoil  FREE GUIDE: 7-Day Fat-Burning Guide - https://bit.ly/4pnYoiB  This episode is a practical, science-backed guide for using one of the world's oldest superfoods as a metabolic medicine to burn fat, balance hormones, reduce stress, and improve longevity.

Episode Summary: In this episode of Grieve That Shit, Sharon Brubaker talks about something most grievers never see coming: why normal sounds suddenly feel like an attack. The kids laughing, the microwave door slamming, a choir starting at church, a car alarm in the parking lot. Things you used to handle just fine now hit your body like lightning. Sharon walks you through what is really happening inside your grieving brain. She breaks down the amygdala, the nervous system, the HPA axis, and why grief flips all of them into survival mode. This is not you "being dramatic." This is biology. Your brain is trying to protect your broken heart and it does not know the difference between emotional danger and physical danger. Through real stories from her clients, Sharon shows how jumpiness, noise sensitivity, snapping at people, and shutting down in crowds are not personality flaws. They are signs that your grief system is stuck on high alert and has not been taught how to turn off. Then she shows you the path out: learning how to calm your brain by processing the pain of grief instead of running from it. Key Points Discussed: Why everyday noise can feel like an attack when you are grieving How the amygdala scans for emotional pain and treats it like danger What happens to your thinking center when grief hits and why you feel numb How the sympathetic nervous system keeps your body in survival mode Why your senses feel sharper, your reactions bigger, and your patience thinner The four grief responses Sharon sees most often: resisting, reacting, avoiding, and pretending How stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline keep your system on high alert Why this noise sensitivity is not permanent when you learn to process the pain How Processing the Pain of Grief helps calm your brain and soften your grief Journal Questions for Reflection: What sounds or situations make your body jump or tense up now that you are grieving Where do you notice your thinking has slowed down or feels foggy When was the last time you snapped or shut down and later realized you were not really mad at that person or thing What background noise or repeated behavior from others feels harder to tolerate since your loss What would it look like to give your brain and body a place to calm down instead of just pushing through Conclusion: Noise sensitivity in grief is not you "losing it." It is your grief biology doing its best to protect you with the only tools it knows. Your brain is on high alert. Your body is tired. Your system is trying to outrun the pain. But this does not have to be your forever. When you learn how to process the pain of grief, your nervous system can settle. Your thoughts get clearer. Your reactions soften. The world gets a little quieter again. You will still miss your person, but the grief does not have to feel like an attack every time a memory or a sound shows up.

ChatGPT said:What if the real fallout from a head knock is not the moment of impact, but the silent systemic storm that unfolds in the weeks, months and even years that follow?In this powerful episode, clinical naturopath Louise Cork reframes concussion as a whole-body injury that is widely underreported, frequently misunderstood, and too often treated as an isolated knock to the head. Drawing on years of clinical experience, Louise explains why symptoms can appear long after the incident, how intestinal permeability and a disrupted microbiome can amplify neuroinflammation, and why a gut-first approach often becomes the missing link in recovery.We explore the systemic cascade that follows impact: increased intestinal permeability, a leaky blood-brain barrier, microglial priming, altered HPA axis signalling and hormone shifts such as low testosterone in men. Louise shows how these shifts can present as headaches, fatigue, anxiety, poor stress tolerance and slow injury recovery. A compelling motocross case study highlights how mapping a patient's clinical timeline across body systems can reveal the turning points many people overlook.We then move into practical strategies. Louise shares evidence-informed tools to repair the terrain and calm an oversensitised brain, including stool-guided treatment plans, endotoxin control with SBI and S. boulardii, targeted probiotics, and nutraceuticals such as saffron for mood and NFkB regulation, PEA for endocannabinoid balance and pain, omega 3s for inflammatory resolution, and thoughtful curcumin use that considers COX LOX balance without overloading the liver. We also explore sleep as a primary therapy, the role of the glymphatic system in clearing neuroinflammation, and how nutrients like L-theanine can deepen rest without immediately reaching for melatonin.Prevention is a major focus. Whether you are working with athletes, military personnel, domestic violence survivors or high-risk workers, Louise outlines how optimising gut health, sleep, recovery rituals and nutritional foundations can reduce the fallout when impacts occur.If you have had a knock, care for someone who has, or support patients navigating persistent symptoms, this episode offers a clear and actionable framework: assess deeply, repair the gut, calm the brain, support sleep and tailor the plan to the individual.If this episode supports you or someone you love, follow the show, share it with a teammate or colleague, and leave a review so more people can access these tools.Connect with Louise:  www.theconcussionnaturopath.comShownotes and references are available on the Designs for Health websiteRegister as a Designs for Health Practitioner and discover quality practitioner- only supplements at www.designsforhealth.com.au Follow us on Socials Instagram: Designsforhealthaus Facebook: Designsforhealthaus DISCLAIMER: The Information provided in the Wellness by Designs podcast is for educational purposes only; the information presented is not intended to be used as medical advice; please seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional if what you have heard here today raises questions or concerns relating to your health

Send us a textEver notice how the harder your mind works, the less your body feels like home? We dig into why relentless thinking tricks your brain into sounding a constant danger alarm, how that message hits the HPA axis, and why your root chakra interprets it as “I'm not safe.” You'll learn how this loop fuels anxiety, fatigue, restless sleep, and sugar cravings, plus the grounded practices that bring your energy back where it belongs.Learn more about the HPA axis, Hormones and Chakras in this free resource:Chakras and HormonesWe begin by reconnecting with the body through simple breath and awareness, then map the physiology: the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal pathway, cortisol and DHEA rhythms, and the way chronic worry keeps the nervous system on high alert. From there, we translate the science into daily tools. Five accessible grounding practices form the core of this episode—barefoot time or visualization of roots, warm and stabilizing foods like root vegetables and quality protein, a 4-2-6 breath cadence to ease the system into rest and digest, gentle yoga moves like mountain pose you can do anywhere, and practical guidance on when to test salivary cortisol and DHEA to validate what you're feeling.You'll hear examples of stress “hot hours,” body check-ins that take under two minutes, and a calming phrase to re-teach safety to the lower brain. We also share options for energy support, from brief Reiki resets to a free 90-minute Harmonize Your Energy workshop with downloadable guides. The goal is simple: stop living from the neck up and reclaim steadiness from the spine down so thought, feeling, and action move in the same direction.If this helped you feel more grounded, follow the show, share it with a friend who's running on fumes, and leave a quick review.

Do you immediately reach for coffee in the morning just to feel human or have afternoon crashes by 2 PM? This episode is for you.  Today in The Wellness Effect, we're diving into adrenal fatigue—or more accurately, HPA axis dysregulation—and why that exhausting cycle isn't just "normal adulting." We'll unpack what's actually happening when your stress system's alarm has been blaring for so long that the batteries finally died. Whether you're stuck in the "tired but wired" cycle, convinced you just need more willpower, or wondering why every small inconvenience feels like a major catastrophe, this conversation will completely shift how you understand energy, stress, and what your body actually needs to function.   In this episode, you'll hear: [00:33] - The real signs you're dealing with adrenal fatigue beyond just feeling tired [20:36] - What your adrenals actually do and the critical hormones they produce [23:40] - The stages of HPA axis dysfunction: from high cortisol to completely bottomed out [25:13] - How adrenal dysfunction affects your thyroid, sex hormones, blood sugar, and immune system [28:40] - What quitting caffeine reveals about your adrenal health [31:05] - What the HTMA test reveals about adrenal function through mineral patterns [32:30] - The exhaustive symptom checklist [37:13] - Nutrition fixes: why undereating and skipping breakfast destroy your adrenals [41:11] - Sleep requirements for women. Seven hours isn't enough! [43:18] - When training is destroying your adrenals [43:52] - Stage four HPA axis dysfunction: when rest is the only cure [46:26] - Supplement supports: magnesium, vitamin C, B vitamins, and adaptogens [50:57] - The productivity mindset shift: reframing what "productive" actually means   Key Takeaways: Your adrenals produce critical hormones including cortisol, adrenaline, DHEA, and more—they regulate stress response, metabolism, blood pressure, immune function, and sex hormones HPA axis dysregulation happens in stages: you start with high cortisol from chronic stress, then eventually your body can't keep up and cortisol crashes—that's when you really feel the exhaustion Rest isn't lazy, it's the most productive thing you can do for long-term health—schedule it like an appointment and don't miss it   Want more from us?

Learn how to restore your adrenal function and reclaim your energy with this comprehensive 90-day reset plan. Nurse Doza maps out a practical approach to reversing adrenal fatigue through measurable testing (DHEAS and HRV), lifestyle modifications including belly breathing and sunlight exposure, and targeted supplementation to support your body's stress response and energy production. Character count: 394 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Measure Your Adrenal Function: DHEAS blood testing (optimal range: 200-250) provides a stable measurement of adrenal function over time without daily variation, while Heart Rate Variability (HRV) tracks your recent stress response and nervous system health in real-time. Activate Rest and Digest Mode: Belly breathing (diaphragmatic breathing) actively shifts your nervous system from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest mode by increasing parasympathetic activity, lowering cortisol levels, and improving HRV with just 4-7 minutes daily. Morning Sunlight Resets Your System: Getting sunlight within the first hour of waking naturally boosts cortisol production, increases serotonin synthesis, provides vitamin D, and sets your circadian rhythm for better sleep—aim for 30-45 minutes of direct sunlight without sunglasses. Support with Targeted Nutrition: Bovine adrenal gland extracts provide building blocks for your own adrenal glands to resume normal function, a practice used successfully since the early 1900s, while B vitamins (especially B5 and B6) help regulate cortisol production and support energy metabolism. Address Underlying Trauma: Unresolved trauma from childhood or adulthood chronically activates your stress response and suppresses adrenal function—addressing it through therapies like CBT, EMDR, or somatic experiencing is essential for long-term adrenal recovery and nervous system regulation. FEATURED PRODUCT Zen – featuring bovine adrenal gland extracts, is designed to support adrenal function and help regulate cortisol production—key factors in restoring energy and recovering from burnout as discussed in this episode. The bovine adrenal gland provides the building blocks for your own adrenal glands to resume normal function, while B vitamins (especially B5 and B6) support healthy stress response. Zen is the gentle, targeted support your adrenals need during this 90-day reset.

A lot of “natural” stress aids aren't harmless—because they actually work. In this Mini Mikipedia, Mikki breaks down how popular adaptogens and nutrients interact with your HPA axis (the body's stress-response command centre) and when that's a blessing versus a blind spot. You'll learn what the evidence says for ashwagandha, rhodiola, holy basil, phosphatidylserine, and why liquorice root is uniquely risky. Mikki covers dose ranges used in studies, who should be cautious (thyroid issues, pregnancy/breastfeeding, low cortisol, meds), how to test cortisol properly, and why cycling supplements beats “more is better.” She also revisits the basics that move the needle—sleep, protein-centred meals, training balance, boundaries, and connection—so supplements can supplement a solid plan, not replace it.HighlightsHow HPA axis modulation can help—or hinder—stress recoveryLiquorice root and pseudoaldosteronism: real risks, not theoryPhosphatidylserine blunts cortisol; context and cycling matterRhodiola and holy basil: mixed/early evidence, variable extractsTesting (4-point saliva, timing), interactions, and quality assurance Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenSave 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKI at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comCurranz supplement: MIKKI saves you 25% at www.curranz.co.nz or www.curranz.co.uk off your first order

Episode Title: Developing Resilience in High-Pressure SituationsSummaryWelcome back to the Muscles & Mindset Podcast with Dr. Ali Novitsky, board-certified obesity medicine physician and expert in stress, strength, and self-regulation.In this episode of the Stress Series, Dr. Novitsky explores how to build true resilience—not in serene environments, but in the moments that truly test us. Whether you're navigating life-or-death emergencies or emotionally charged situations, this conversation reveals how to stay centered and in control, even when your nervous system wants to panic.Using a powerful varicose vein metaphor, she explains how chronic stress is like a “leaky valve”—unless you address the root cause (emotional dysregulation), surface-level fixes like better habits won't stick. The solution? A simple pause.Dr. Novitsky teaches how a 2–3 second pause in the heat of stress can stop the brain's “hijack” and activate the prefrontal cortex—our reasoning center. She breaks down three stress scenarios and guides listeners toward the third, most empowering one: awareness, presence, and intentional breath.Drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), Dr. Novitsky offers a toolkit for regulating emotions, accessing your “wise brain,” and debriefing after stressful moments to rewire your response. Whether in medicine, sports, family dynamics, or everyday life, this episode shows how resilience can be learned—and why it's the key to long-term transformation.Key Points• Beyond the Spa: Real resilience is built in chaos, not calm.• The Leaky Valve Analogy: Fix emotional dysregulation at the root for lasting stress relief.• Stress Is Automatic: The fight-or-flight response can't be stopped—but it can be reshaped.• The Power of the Pause: A brief, intentional check-in prevents spiraling and restores clarity.• Three Stress Scenarios: 1. Hijacked and unaware. 2. Aware but suppressing. 3. Aware and present—the goal.• Tools from CBT & DBT: Learn to regulate emotions and access clear, productive thinking.• Debrief to Rewire: Reflecting after stress creates new mental pathways for resilience.• Lifelong Practice: Emotional regulation isn't a finish line—it's a daily skill worth mastering.Timestamps• 00:02 – Intro: Managing real-world stress• 02:10 – The “leaky valve” analogy for chronic stress• 04:00 – Understanding the HPA axis and stress physiology• 05:40 – Prefrontal cortex hijacking: why we spiral• 07:10 – The pause as a regulation tool• 09:30 – Scenario breakdown: hijack, suppression, or presence• 11:50 – Staying calm in acute stress (e.g., medical emergencies)• 13:40 – Building confidence by staying grounded• 15:00 – Personal story: trauma and resilience in college athletics• 18:20 – CBT vs. DBT: how emotions shape thoughts• 21:40 – Tools for distress tolerance and “wise mind”• 24:40 – Personal debriefs: your secret weapon for growth• 27:40 – Real-life triggers and emotional awareness• 30:10 – Transform 10: a year-long stress mastery programFollow Dr. Ali Novitsky on TikTok | Facebook | Instagram | YouTubeSubscribe to the Muscles and Mindset Podcast on Spotify | Apple PodcastsWork with Dr. Ali

Send us a textYour postpartum clients aren't just "busy"—they're breaking down. Here's the truth your assessments are missing: The invisible mental load is a chronic state of cognitive overload that's hijacking her body. This isn't a failure of willpower; it's a physiological response to chronic stress that causes everything from unexplained anxiety and low milk supply to pelvic pain and insomnia. Maranda reveals how this unacknowledged cognitive burden triggers the HPA axis, shuts down nervous system regulation, and creates a cascade of physical symptoms. Every postpartum provider—from lactation consultants to functional health experts—must recognize this root cause. Stop treating the symptoms (the fatigue, the rage, the anxiety) and start addressing the overload.

Ladies — if you're on a fat loss or hormone health journey and feel like your ashwagandha “stopped working” after a few weeks… this episode is going to blow your mind

One of the most common questions Dr. Kristina Spaulding hears is whether stress “stays in the system” for three days. In this episode, she digs into what that really means, what the research shows, and why the truth is more complex than a simple yes or no.She begins with the biology of the stress response—how the HPA axis and sympathetic nervous system work together, the roles of cortisol and corticosterone, and why not all stress is bad. Then she takes on the central question: how long does stress actually last? You'll learn how long it typically takes for stress hormones to peak and return to baseline, and the many factors that influence recovery, making exact estimates of the duration of the stress response extremely difficult.Dr. Spaulding also explores sensitization and cross-sensitization—how prior stress can make animals more reactive to future challenges, even entirely different ones. This has big implications for understanding anxiety, PTSD, and the impacts of stress on behavior. Finally, she discusses chronic and developmental stress and why a blunted stress response doesn't necessarily mean an animal is “fine.”The idea that stress lingers for three days is a myth. Hormones often normalize within hours, but the effects of stress—especially repeated or early-life stress—can last for days, weeks, or even a lifetime.Resources:Garcia, Arantxa, Octavi Marti, Astrid Valles, Silvina Dal-Zotto, and Antonio Armario. “Recovery of the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal Response to Stress: Effect of Stress Intensity, Stress Duration and Prevention Stress Exposure.” Neuroendocrinology 72, no. 2 (August 2000): 114–25.Belda, X., Rotllant, D., Fuentes, S., Delgado, R., Nadal, R., & Armario, A.

Co-Hosts Mike O'Donnell and Bethany Abele welcomed special guests from Balcony, a blockchain technology company that secures title and real estate data for governmental entities.  Daniel Silverman, the Co-CEO, Co-Founder and Chief Visionary Officer, and Alexander McGee, the CRO, Co-Founder and Head of Government Affairs, engaged with Mike and Bethany in a fascinating discussion about how their company, founded in 2021, converts legacy property records into unalterable tokenized documents.  They explained how their focus on creating digital registries from deed and property records for local governments creates trust, transparency and efficiency for municipalities and other public agencies. In the wide-ranging conversation, Dan and Alex explained how securing real estate documents on their blockchain platform protects against fraud, and provides one centralized registry for all residential properties. Next, Mike interviewed Riker Danzig associate Shelley Wu, who is leaving Riker to serve as a clerk to Judge Lara Eshkenazi of the Eastern District of New York. Shelley discussed Kovachevich v. Nat'l Mortg. Ins. Corp., 140 F.4th 548 (4th Cir. 2025), a case involving the scope of a homebuyer's right to receive a refund of unearned premiums from private mortgage insurance under the federal Homeowners Protection Act. Shelley explained the specific statutory requirements that came into play in the judge's opinion, as well as the two-step refund requirements. Key Takeaways From This Episode: Understanding blockchain's future in property records. PMI refunds only apply to statutory cancellations. Initial qualification is required for the PMI refund process. State law claims such as unjust enrichment or breach of contract for voluntary PMI cancellations are still viable even when a federal HPA claim is dismissed. Note:  Riker Danzig is not endorsing the services of Balcony.

Welcome to my D-R-E-A-M Morning Routine that I shared at my sold-out ALO London event. This is the exact framework that got my night-owl, groggy, snooze-button-addicted self waking up with clean energy - no 60-minute morning routines, no perfectionism, no quitting caffeine. We dive into why maybe “I'm NOT a night owl” afterall and what was REALLY happening in my biology that made me find mornings soooo hard (hello, flattened cortisol curve + HPA axis dysregulation). I chat about how to ‘turn yourself on' in the morning with 5 simple steps and the EXACT 30 minute stack I use when time is tight, calls start early, and motivation is missing and it's how to step onto a daily successful upward spiral and the connection between circadian cues, minerals, mood, blood sugar, movement, mindset etc. RESOURCESPerfect Amino Protein Tablets - BUY HEREBlog ‘You're Not A Night Owl' - READ HEREThe Upward Spiral of Success: READ HERE

In this episode of the PCOS Repair Podcast, the focus is on the intricate connection between stress and hormonal balance in women with PCOS. Drawing on insights from the research article Stress: Endocrine Physiology and Pathophysiology, this discussion explores how the body's stress response is designed to protect survival, and how that same system can disrupt metabolic health, fertility, and hormone regulation when stress becomes chronic. You will learn exactly what happens inside the body when the sympathetic nervous system and HPA axis are activated, why cortisol plays such a powerful role in blood sugar regulation, and how ongoing stress magnifies PCOS root causes.The Science Behind Stress and Hormonal ImbalanceYou will discover how stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol affect blood sugar, insulin sensitivity, and reproductive function. The episode explains how cortisol affects hormones to prepare the body for a perceived threat, whether it's physical or emotional, and why this process, when repeated too often, leads to insulin resistance. For women with PCOS, who are already predisposed to insulin imbalance, chronic stress compounds the problem by triggering more testosterone production, disrupting ovulation, increasing inflammation, and promoting weight gain, especially around the midsection.Identifying Stressors That Impact PCOSThe conversation highlights both obvious and hidden stressors that keep the stress response system activated. Even perceived stress, where the body feels threatened despite no immediate danger, can have lasting hormonal effects. You'll hear how these stressors contribute to HPA axis dysregulation, leading to symptoms like unrefreshing fatigue, cravings for sugar or salt, poor workout recovery, disrupted sleep patterns, low mood, and anxiety.Rather than relying on quick self-care fixes, this episode reframes stress management as an essential part of hormone therapy. You will learn how to build a lifestyle structure that reduces unnecessary stress and equips the body to handle inevitable challenges. Stress, a Missing Piece in PCOS HealingThe key takeaway from this episode is that the endocrine system is always listening. Whether stress is obvious or subtle, it sends chemical signals that shift the hormonal network, impacting insulin, cortisol, and reproductive hormones. For anyone struggling with stubborn PCOS symptoms despite making changes to diet and exercise, this discussion encourages a closer look at the body's perception of stress. Addressing and repairing the stress response can be a turning point in restoring hormonal balance, improving fertility, and feeling better in your body.You can take the quiz to discover your root cause hereREAD THE RESEARCH Stress: Endocrine Physiology and PathophysiologyLet's continue the conversation on Instagram! What did you find helpful in this episode and what follow-up questions do you have?The full list of Resources & References Mentioned can be found on the Episode webpage at: https://nourishedtohealthy.com/ep-162

Constipation is more than an inconvenience—it's a sign your gut is overwhelmed. In this episode of the School of Doza podcast, Nurse Doza breaks down 5 key habits to help you End Constipation for Good: What Your Gut's Been Trying to Tell You. From food swaps to liver support, this is your roadmap to daily relief and long-term gut health.   5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Eliminate inflammatory foods like sugar, dairy, and processed carbs to reduce gut inflammation. Supplementing with L-glutamine helps repair gut lining and ease constipation symptoms. Detoxifying the liver improves estrogen clearance and supports daily bowel movements. Chronic stress paralyzes digestion—managing cortisol is essential for regularity. Magnesium can act as a natural laxative and supports smoother bowel movements.   FEATURED PRODUCT The Good Poops Protocol combines three powerhouse supplements—Gut (L-glutamine), Liver Boost, and Berberine Plus—to help you restore digestive balance, reduce inflammation, and end constipation for good. Whether you're dealing with bloating, irregularity, or sluggish detox, this protocol gives your gut the support it's been begging for. → https://www.mswnutrition.com/collections/bundles/products/good-poops-protocol   TIMESTAMPS 00:00 START – Intro: Why constipation needs to be addressed 03:00 – The link between constipation and colon cancer 05:00 – #1 Habit: Eliminate inflammatory foods (sugar, dairy, bread) 11:00 – Why homemade meals matter for gut health 13:00 – #2 Habit: Take glutamine to heal leaky gut 17:00 – L-glutamine dosage and family-friendly uses 18:00 – #3 Habit: Detox your liver to support bowel movements 21:00 – How the liver helps remove excess estrogen 23:00 – #4 Habit: Manage stress and understand the HPA axis 25:00 – Cortisol, Ozempic, and constipation connections 27:00 – The gut-brain connection and serotonin production 29:00 – Lifestyle stress reduction tips 29:50 – #5 Habit: Take magnesium for hydration and gut movement 31:00 – Good Poops Protocol overview and product stack 33:00 – Final message: Your gut can heal—just give it the tools   RESOURCES MENTIONED Glutamine & Gut Health Study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5454963/ Liver & Microbiome Study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9687983/ Estrogen & Probiotics Study: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/microbiology/articles/10.3389/fmicb.2024.1363455/full Stress & Constipation Study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4819868/ Serotonin, HPA Axis, and Digestion: https://bmcgastroenterol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12876-024-03575-3 Magnesium for Constipation Overview: https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-998/magnesium Magnesium and Stool Frequency Study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8645769/ Magnesium Threonate in Constipation: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9972038/  

Stress isn't just “in your head”—it changes your biology. It depletes nutrients like magnesium, vitamin C, B vitamins, and zinc, and keeps your body in survival mode. Supplements can help, but they won't heal you if the root cause—stress—remains. In this episode, I talk about why stress management is as critical as nutrition, how CBT and EMDR support your healing, and why lab testing matters before wasting money on supplements.   References from this episode: Juster R-P, McEwen BS, Lupien SJ.

Join us (Dr. Henry Emmons and Dr. Aimee Prasek) as we dig into this phenomenon of 'pathological productivity.' We'll talk about how over-focusing on productivity can lead to mental and physical health issues, why us humans have a deep aversion to idleness, why rest can feel "bad," and most importantly, how we can get out of this kind of pathological productivity and embrace rest and play in ways that nourish us.   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!

You're exhausted—but your mind won't shut off. Sound familiar? In this episode, we dive into the frustrating experience of feeling “tired but wired”—and how it might be more than just burnout.We unpack the science behind this sensation, looking closely at adrenal fatigue, cortisol imbalances, and dysfunction in the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis. You'll learn how chronic stress and disrupted sleep patterns may be silently sabotaging your energy—and how this state of overstimulation often overlaps with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism.We discuss:What "tired but wired" really means and why it happensHow cortisol rhythms affect thyroid health and hormone balanceWhether adrenal fatigue is real—and what the research saysPractical tips to calm your nervous system and reclaim energyIf you're caught in a cycle of exhaustion and overstimulation, this episode is your guide to understanding what's happening inside your body—and how to start feeling better.LEARN MOREYou can learn more about the topic from Paloma: Adrenal Fatiguehttps://www.palomahealth.com/learn/adrenal-fatigue Hypothyroidism and Fatiguehttps://www.palomahealth.com/learn/hypothyroidism-and-fatigue The HPA Axis and Your Thyroidhttps://www.palomahealth.com/learn/hpa-axis-hashimotos-hypothyroidism ABOUT PALOMA HEALTH ⁠⁠Paloma Health ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠is an online medical practice focused exclusively on treating hypothyroidism.

Welcome to Fusionary Health with Dr. Shivani Gupta. In this solo master-class she reveals the hidden epidemic she calls mental inflammation—a chronic, low-grade tension that rewires the nervous system even when your labs look “normal.” You'll hear how relentless pings, deadlines, and social-media comparison keep the HPA axis locked in overdrive, how elevated cortisol erodes the gut lining and sparks systemic inflammation, and why a sluggish vagus nerve blocks true recovery.Drawing on modern research and timeless Ayurveda, Dr. Shivani explains why mental inflammation shows up as fatigue, brain fog, IBS, insomnia, mood swings, and stubborn weight-gain. She outlines a practical antidote: rhythmic breathwork, phone-free nature walks, a “tea-time-is-me-time” ritual, consistent circadian scheduling, and earth-grounding pauses—micro habits that signal safety to the body and cool the inflammatory cascade.Along the way she offers a sneak peek at her forthcoming Hay House × Penguin Random House book The Inflammation Code (publishing 3 Feb 2026), shares a raw account of managing her own burnout while finishing the manuscript, and invites listeners to preorder the book, download a free vagus-toning breath guide, and explore her line of functional Ayurvedic teas. Press play, breathe deeply, and learn how to reset your mind–body circuitry one small moment at a time.

What is the cell danger response and how is it connected to being stuck in chronic fight or flight mode? What time should people with chronically high cortisol take their cortisol lowering supplements? Why is vitamin D necessary for proper sleep? What test can show you exactly which stage of HPA axis dysfunction you're in?  Lulwa Alarmali, functional medicine pracitioner, talks about all of this and more including her favorite lab tests, how she interprets them, her thoughts on probiotic supplementation, and answers a few listener questions including: How to end long term severe insomnia? How to balance high testosterone with low free testosterone? If you've been chronically stressed and feel burned out this episode is for you.  Her instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefunctionalnutritionist/ My website: www.matt-blackburn.com Mitolife products: www.mitolife.co Music by Nicholas Jimenez: https://spoti.fi/4cte2nD

Story at-a-glance Adrenal fatigue isn't recognized as a real medical condition, but the symptoms people report — chronic exhaustion, salt cravings, brain fog — are very real and deserve closer investigation The adrenal glands don't “burn out” from stress, but persistent overload disrupts your brain's communication with them, leading to hormone imbalances and daily exhaustion Studies show no evidence that fatigue is caused by adrenal impairment; however, chronic stress does impact your hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, affecting energy, sleep, and mood Caffeine doesn't directly damage your adrenal glands, but overuse combined with stress and poor recovery can mimic the symptoms often blamed on adrenal fatigue Low energy might not be from your adrenals at all — thyroid issues, iron deficiency, poor sleep, or emotional stress could be the real reasons you're always tired

We're diving into the top functional and conventional tests to consider after the second trimester or late pregnancy loss, especially if you've been diagnosed with low AMH, high FSH, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), or premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). If you've had a second trimester loss or late pregnancy loss after 20 weeks and been told “everything looks normal,”this episode is for you. We dive into what's often overlooked in conventional care and how a functional fertility approach can help uncover underlying imbalances that impact conception, hormone health, and pregnancy outcomes. In this episode we cover 7 categories of testing to consider after late loss especially if you have low AMH, diminished ovarian reserve, autoimmune issues, recurrent miscarriage, or unexplained infertility. You'll learn: The top clotting and thrombophilia markers to test (including Factor V Leiden and antiphospholipid antibodies) Which inflammatory and immune markers (hs-CRP, ANA, cytokines, NK cells) are often missed and why they matter How the vaginal microbiome and hidden infections like ureaplasma can cause second-trimester loss The role of chronic stress, adrenal hormones and the HPA axis in pregnancy outcomes Why a comprehensive blood chemistry panel can reveal nutrient deficiencies and hormone imbalances that are missed by conventional labs Key methylation and genetic SNPs (like MTHFR) that impact detoxification, clotting and hormone metabolism The impact of gut health and stool testing on immune tolerance, estrogen balance and inflammation We'll also explain how this whole body functional lens can guide your next steps in preconception planning, whether you're trying again naturally or preparing for IVF. This episode is for you if: You've experienced a loss after 14 weeks of pregnancy and are seeking deeper understanding and support. You want to explore both conventional and functional medicine approaches to uncover underlying causes. You're looking for practical lifestyle, testing, and healing strategies to improve future pregnancy outcomes. --- TIMESTAMPS [00:00:00] Introduction: Late term pregnancy loss overview, compassion, and what to expect in this episode [00:02:30] Functional fertility testing for late term loss thrombophilia panel, immune markers, inflammation, and infections [00:06:00] Stress hormones, nervous system support, and comprehensive blood chemistry for improving pregnancy outcomes [00:09:00] Blood sugar, insulin, and comprehensive thyroid testing in pregnancy loss [00:12:00] Genetic testing, including MTHFR mutations and the importance of body healing before conception [00:14:30] Role of gut health, infections, and estrogen metabolism in pregnancy loss --- RESOURCES

In this eye-opening episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with trauma therapist Paula Rastrick to unpack the complexities of hormonal health for women. They explore why hormone therapy isn't always the silver bullet it's marketed to be — and how trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and the HPA axis all play a major role in hormonal imbalance. Paula shares her deeply personal journey through hormonal struggles and burnout, and how she came to understand the nervous system as the foundation of hormone healing. Together, they challenge common myths and shed light on why so many women feel gaslighted by traditional medical approaches. If you've ever felt dismissed, confused, or overwhelmed when it comes to your hormones — this conversation is your permission slip to dig deeper and advocate for a more holistic approach to healing.   What You'll Learn In This Episode: Hormone therapy is often oversimplified and overprescribed. Medical gaslighting is common when hormonal protocols don't work. The nervous system is a key (and often missing) piece in hormone treatment. Trauma can rewire the HPA axis, disrupting hormonal balance. ADHD and hormone sensitivity are deeply connected. Every woman's hormonal story is unique — individualized care is essential. Heart rate variability (HRV) training can support nervous system resilience. Empowerment through education helps women take control of their health. We need a more integrated, trauma-aware approach to women's healthcare.

As we age, we need more recovery time. If you take too little recovery time, you will feed more tired than better and not gain lean muscle mass. Connective tissues (ligaments & joints) Recovery may be slower and healing from an injury or a strain. Take time with warm ups and cool downs. Work on mobility around key joints like ankles, hips and shoulders regularly.  Adrenals Prolonged elevated cortisol after a workout is problematic if already chronic elevation of cortisol exists.

Ray Latif spoke with Chris Swersey of Hop Products Australia (HPA) and Mitch Steele of New Realm Brewing about the 2025 Australian hop crop. Swersey reported a bountiful harvest for HPA, with total production up 10% and yields increasing by 30% despite reduced acreage. This success stems from favorable weather and significant investments in productivity and technology. Their new HPA HOP Central pellet plant, which processed popular varieties like Galaxy, Ella, and Eclipse, recently achieved FSSC food safety certification. Mitch Steele praised HPA's Galaxy hops, highlighting its consistent tropical fruit intensity. After extensive evaluation, Steele found the 2025 Galaxy crop to have a complex aroma and taste, featuring classic passion fruit, lime, and a developing peach mango character. New Realm Brewing is showcasing this hop in a "less-coast pilsner," a crisp, light beer with an intense hop aromatic profile.

The U.S. housing market appears to be stuck. Our co-heads of Securitized Product research, Jay Bacow and James Egan, explain how supply and demand, as well as mortgage rates, play a role in the cooling market.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----James Egan: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Jim Egan, co-head of Securitized Products Research at Morgan Stanley.Jay Bacow: And I'm Jay Bacow, the other co-head of Securitized Products Research at Morgan Stanley. And after getting through last week's blistering hot temperatures, today we're going to talk about what may be a cooling housing market. It's Monday, June 30th at 2:30pm in New York. Now, Jim, home prices. We just got another index. They set another record high, but the pace of growth – the acceleration as a physicist in me wants to say – appears to be slowing. What's going on here?James Egan: The pace of home price growth reported this month was 2.7 percent. That is the lowest that it's been since August of 2023. And in our view, the reason's pretty simple. Supply is increasing, while demand has stalled.Jay Bacow: But Jim, this was a report for the spring selling season. I know we got it in June, but this is supposed to be the busiest time of the year. People are happy to go around. They're looking at moving over the summer when the kids aren't in school. We should be expecting the supply to increase. Are you saying that it's happening more than it's anticipated?James Egan: That is what we're saying. Now, we should be expecting inventories today to be higher than they were in, call it January or February. That's exactly the seasonality that you're referring to. But it's the year-over-year growth we're paying attention to here. Homes listed for sale are up year-over-year, 18 months in a row. And that pace, it's been accelerating. Over the past 40 years, the pace of growth from this past month was only eclipsed one time, the Great Financial Crisis.Jay Bacow: [sighs] I always get a little worried when the housing analyst brings up the Great Financial Crisis. Are you saying that this time the demand isn't responding?James Egan: That is what we're saying. So, through the first five months of this year, existing home sales are only down about 2 percent versus the first five months of 2024. So they've basically kind of plateaued at these levels. But that also means that we're seeing the fewest number of transactions through May in a calendar year since 2009. And that combination of easing inventory and lackluster demand, it's pushed months of supply back to levels that we haven't seen since the beginning of this pandemic. Call it the fourth quarter of 2019, first quarter of 2020, right before inventory has really plummeted to historic lows.Jay Bacow: All right, so 2009, another financial crisis reference. But you're also – you're speaking around a national level, and as a housing analyst, I feel like you haven't really spoken about the three most important factors when we think about things which are: Location. Location. And location.James Egan: Absolutely. And the deceleration that we're seeing in home price growth – and I would point out it is still growth – has been pervasive across the country. Year-over-year, HPA is now decelerating in 100 percent of the top 100 MSAs, for which we have data. In fact, a full quarter of them, 25 percent of these cities are now actually seeing prices decline on a year-over-year basis. And that's up from just 5 percent with declining home prices one year ago.Jay Bacow: As a homeowner, I do like the home price growth. And is it the same story when you look more narrowly around supply and demand?James Egan: So, there might be some geographical nuances, but we do think that it largely boils down to that. Local inventory growth has been a very good indicator of weaker home price performance, particularly the level of for-sale inventory today versus that fourth quarter of 2019. If we look at it on a geographic basis, of 14 MSAs that have the highest level of inventory today compared to 2019, 11 of them are in either Florida or Texas. On the other end of the spectrum, the cities where inventory remains furthest away from where it was four and a half years ago, they're in the Northeast, they're in the Midwest.Jay Bacow: As somebody who lives in the Northeast, I'd like to hear that again. But you're also; you're quoting existing prices, which that's been the outperformer in the housing market. Right?James Egan: Exactly. New home prices have actually been decreasing year-over-year for the past year and a half at this point. It's actually brought the basis between new home prices, which tend to trade at a little bit of a premium to existing sales; it's brought that basis to its tightest level that we've seen in at least 30 years. And that's before we take into account the fact that home builders have been buying down some of these mortgage rates. But Jay, you've recently done some work trying to size this.Jay Bacow: Yeah. First it might help to explain what a buydown is.A home builder might have a new home listed at say, $450,000. And with mortgage rates in the context of about 6.5 percent right now, the home buyer might not be able to afford that, so they offer to pay less. The home builder – often many of them also have an origination arm as well. They'll say, you know what? We'll sell it to you at that $450,000, but we'll give you a lower mortgage rate; instead of 6.5 percent, we'll sell it to you for $450,000 with a 5 percent mortgage rate. Then maybe the home buyer can afford that.James Egan: And so, new home prices are actually coming down. And by that we're specifically referring to the median price of new home transactions. They're falling despite the fact that these buy downs might be influencing prices a little bit higher.Jay Bacow: Right. And when we look at how often this is happening, it's a little actually hard to get it from the data because they don't have to report it. But when we look at the distribution of mortgage rates in a given month – prior to 2022, there were effectively no purchase loans that were originated less than one point below the prevailing mortgage rate for a given month.However, more recently we're up to about 12 percent of Ginnie Mae purchases, and those are the more credit constrained borrowers that might have a harder time buying a home. And about 5 percent of conventional purchase loans are getting originated with a rate 1 percent below the outstanding marketJames Egan: And so, this might be another sign that we're seeing a little bit of softening in home prices. But what are the implications on the agency mortgage side?Jay Bacow: I would say there's probably two things that we're keeping an eye out on. Because these are homeowners that are getting below market rate, the investors are getting a below market coupon. And because they're getting sold at a discount, they don't want that, but they're going to stay around for a while. So, investors are getting these rates that they don't want for longer.And then the other thing you think about from the home buyer perspective is, you know, maybe they – it's good for them right now. But if they want to sell that home, because they're getting a below market mortgage rate, they bought the home for maybe more than other people would've. So, unless they can sell it with that mortgage attached, which is very difficult to do, they probably have to sell it for a lower price than when they bought it.Now Jim, what does all this mean for home prices going forward?James Egan: Now, when we think about home prices, we're talking about the home price indices, right? And so those are going to be repeat sales. It's going to, by definition, look at existing prices and not necessarily the dynamics we're talking in the new home price market.Jay Bacow: Okay, so all this builder buy down stuff is interesting for what it means for new home prices – but doesn't impact all the HPA indices that you reference.James Egan: Exactly, and at the national level, despite what we've been talking about on this podcast, we do think that home prices remain more supported than what we are seeing locally. Inventory is increasing, but it also remains near historically low levels. Months of supply that I mentioned at the top of this podcast, it's picked up to the highest level it's been since the beginning of this pandemic. We're also talking about four to four and a half months of supply. Anything below six is a tight environment that has been historically associated with home prices continuing to climb.That's why our base case is for positive HPA this year. We're at +2 percent. That's slower than where we are now. We think you're going to continue to see deceleration. And because of what we're seeing from a supply and demand perspective, we are a little bit more skewed to the downside in our bear case. Instead of that +2, we're at -3 percent than we are towards the upside in our bull case. Instead of that plus two, we're at plus 5 percent in the bull case. So slower HPA from here, but still positive.Jay Bacow: Well, Jim, it's always a pleasure talking to you, particularly when you're highlighting that the home price growth is going to be stronger in the place where I own a home.James Egan: Pleasure talking to you too, Jay.

The guys also ask Ben a ton of listener questions ranging from the topic of the DEA/FBI combining and absorbing the ATF's responsibilities (and why that would be awful), what traps there are if any with the HPA, what the future could look like for gun rights in relation to recent developments and much more!Check out our guest:https://www.instagram.com/realasiangunlobbyist/⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/gunownersofamericaRAADS Autism Test:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://embrace-autism.com/raads-r/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out PP.TF here:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://pptaskforce.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.instagram.com/pptaskforce.est23/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out our Patreon here to support what we do and get insider perks! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠                             ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/CBRNArt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out our sponsors:  Cloud Defensive / Chad Defensive Rifle / EDC Lights:For 10% off site wide, that stacks with any Cloud Defensive sales, use Code: ARTANDWAR10⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://clouddefensive.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Two Grunts Inc. - Quality *Ä*Ř* Manufacturer:Use code: CBRN for $50 off your order!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twogruntsinc.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Attorneys for Freedom - Attorneys on Retainer Program, sign up via this link to support the show:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://attorneysonretainer.us/artandwar⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠             ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠         ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Use code: ARTANDWAR10 for $10 off an SMU Belt at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AWSin.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out our link tree for the rest of our stuff:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://link.space/@CBRNart⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the lads on IG:     ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nathan / Main Page: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/cbrnart/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠B.R: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/br.the.anarch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Lucas: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/heartl1ne/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Phil: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/philmxengland/

Feeling exhausted no matter how much you rest? Wondering if adrenal fatigue, hormone imbalance, or chronic stress are wrecking your health? In this episode, Juanique sits down with Dr. Brian Rodgers to break down the hidden connections between your adrenals, thyroid, mitochondria, and overall energy — and why most doctors miss adrenal burnout completely.You'll learn exactly why adrenal recovery is key for lasting hormone balance and how functional medicine takes a different approach to healing.What You'll Learn:✔ How the HPA axis controls your stress, cortisol, and energy✔ Why your mitochondria must be fixed before adrenal recovery can work✔ How poor gut health blocks nutrient absorption and slows healing✔ The three stages of adrenal burnout — and how to tell which you're in✔ Why chronic stress, over-exercising, and stimulants can backfire✔ How functional medicine treats adrenal fatigue when conventional doctors won't✔ What CIRS (chronic inflammatory response syndrome) is — and why it shuts down healingTimestamps:00:00 — Introduction: Why adrenal health is step five in the healing process05:00 — Juanique's personal adrenal burnout journey10:00 — Understanding the HPA axis and hormone signaling15:00 — Mindset, brainwave patterns, and stress responses20:00 — Mitochondrial function: Why it comes before adrenal healing25:00 — Gut health, inflammation, and nutrient absorption30:00 — Liver detox and clearing excess cortisol35:00 — What CIRS is and how it hijacks your body40:00 — The three stages of adrenal fatigue (and why most doctors miss them)50:00 — Why stimulants, caffeine, and over-exercising make burnout worse01:00:00 — How to start rebuilding adrenal function01:05:00 — How the Gutsy Health Academy teaches you to become your own best health advocateResources & Next Steps:→ Join the Gutsy Health Academy waitlist for the next intake: https://www.mygutsyhealth.com/academywaitlist→ Book a consult or learn more about Provo Health: 801-691-1765 or provohealth.com → Follow Juanique for updates and insights: @gutsy_momSend us a text

In This Hour:-- Charges on the internet say that Silencer Central worked to defeat the Hearing Protection Act, which would remove silencers from the National Firearm Act.  Silencer Central CEO Brandon Maddox addresses the claims and says his company completely backs the HPA.--  Is the dustup with Silencer Central just the latest example of internet influencers creating controversy to drive traffic to generate revenue?--  Is there a danger when loading a lever-action rifle? Could the bullet from one load hit the primer of another cartridge?Gun Talk 05.18.25 Hour 1Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gun-talk--6185159/support.
