In this Ask Dr. Tony episode, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the comprehensive approach neurologically focused pediatric chiropractors use to help children with neurodevelopmental disorders. He explains the three-step process: detailed case history taking, advanced nervous system measurement technology (INSiGHT scans including thermal scanning, EMG, and HRV), and gentle, individualized chiropractic adjustments. Dr. Tony emphasizes how their approach differs from traditional medicine by focusing on the nervous system rather than blaming genetics or gut issues. He shares touching stories about children who initially resist touch but eventually crave the healing adjustments, and explains how their sensory-friendly offices are designed specifically to help kids "get out of the storm" of dysregulation. The episode highlights the patience, persistence, and personalized care required for true neurological healing.----Links & ResourcesThe PX Docs Clinical Process Breakdown----Key Topics & Timestamps([00:01:00]) - The Three-Step Neurologically Focused Approach - Detailed Case History, Advanced Technology, and Physical Examination([00:03:00]) - INSiGHT Scans and HRV Testing - Measuring Nervous System Dysfunction and Vagal Tone([00:05:00]) - Light Force Tonal Adjustments - The Gentle "Avocado Ripeness" Technique([00:07:00]) - The Cal Story - How Touch-Sensitive Kids Learn to Crave Healing Adjustments([00:08:00]) - Creating Sensory-Friendly Care - Environment Design and Long-Term Treatment Plans-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

For years I thrived on two large meals a day – a late-morning breakfast after training and an early dinner. And the results spoke for themselves: stable blood sugar, excellent insulin sensitivity, low body fat, and plenty of energy. But I began noticing a drawback. Those evening meals, heavy in protein and fat, kept my digestive system working for hours after I went to bed, raising my heart rate, lowering my HRV, and occasionally causing acid reflux. Shifting dinner earlier didn't help much, and I wasn't hungry first thing in the morning, so forcing an earlier breakfast felt just as unnatural. In this episode, I break down why I've shifted from two meals to three, and what that change has done for my energy, recovery, and sleep quality. I walk through the benefits I saw from a two-meal pattern, the specific problems that crept in over time, and how spreading my daily protein and calorie intake across breakfast, lunch, and dinner has improved digestion, lowered nighttime stress on my body, and left me waking up more refreshed. The takeaway isn't that everyone should eat three times a day – or twice, or just once. It's that meal timing and frequency should fit your body's needs, your goals, and your lifestyle. The right pattern for you is the one that leaves you feeling and performing your best. For me right now, that means three balanced meals, each big enough to satisfy without overloading my digestion before sleep.

Not fish food but brain food and gut food. That's how you should understand algae. I was blown away by the research on algae and its most powerful component superoxide dismutase. From MS to Alzheimer's and PTSD, the super nutrient profile of spiralina and chlorella is an energy and mental performance game-changer that costs less than $1 a day. Join me and Catharine Arnston in this empowering algae educational masterclass. Catharine Arnston founded ENERGYbits® after discovering the extraordinary health benefits of algae while researching ways to support her sister's recovery from breast cancer. She learned that algae is the most nutrient-dense, plant-based, and alkaline food on the planet—packed with 64% protein, 40 vitamins and minerals, and backed by over 100,000 scientific studies, as well as endorsements from NASA and the United Nations. Despite its long history of use in Asia, algae remained virtually unknown in the West, which inspired Catharine to spend a decade building ENERGYbits® into a trusted, national brand. Today, her company offers pure, toxin-free, Non-GMO algae tablets that support energy, satiety, and nutrition in a sustainable, eco-friendly form.Join us as we explore:Everything algae - it's unique evolutionary history, why Cathrine calls it “spirit-lina”, its nutritional and disease fighting profile and why it's an energy and cognitive performance game-changer for anyone older than 40. How algae works as an ATP catalyst, boosts the most powerful antioxidant superoxide dismutase and keeps you younger for longer.What sets ENERGYbits apart from other algae products, why to choose the blue one (chlorella) or the green one (spirulina) and why professional athletes are using up to 75 tablets pre-game for maximum energy and focus.Incredible algae studies - MS tremors disappear, 50% HRV increase, mitochondria maximization and miraculous brain healing.Contact: Website: https://energybits.com/Mentions:Research - Algae Research, https://energybits.com/pages/algae-researchNon-profit - Grey Team, https://www.greyteam.orgDiagnostic - mescreen, https://mescreen.co.zaSupport the showFollow Steve's socials: Instagram | LinkedIn | YouTube | Facebook | Twitter | TikTokSupport the show on Patreon:As much as we love doing it, there are costs involved and any contribution will allow us to keep going and keep finding the best guests in the world to share their health expertise with you.

Just living in alignment, in sync with my priorities and my values has been a big one for me as well. So I carve out time for my family.” “Our brain is the driver of so much. And if our mental health game isn't dialed in as moms, as career women, as women who are upholding communities… It can feel like it all just unravels and falls apart.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Join Angela's 21-Day Hormone Reset Program HERE!

This week, the Unnamed Automotive Podcast jams out with some subcompact crossovers. The show starts with Sami's review of the 2025 Hyundai Kona Electric, a perfectly fine EV that is a bit overshadowed by its market. With the competition offering better value, Sami and Benjamin argue that a used Hyundai Kona Electric is the smart choice for EV shoppers on a tight budget. Then the guys turn their focus to the 2026 Honda HR-V. Using Sami's previous experience as background information on his tester, Benjamin starts off thinking the Honda subcompact is pretty solid, but after spending more time with it, he wonders if there's a worse choice in the segment. Thanks for listening!
"What practical challenges arise in measuring physical activity among children?" In this final part of the episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen and Dr. Ying Gao discuss the real-world challenges faced when collecting physical activity data from children using devices like Fibion. Dr. Gao shares her experience with device placement, tape sensitivity, and device retention, revealing that around 15-20% of devices were lost in initial studies due to a lack of clear instructions for parents and children. By enhancing communication with parents and teachers and providing practical solutions like custom-made pockets in shorts, Dr. Gao's team significantly improved data retention and device return rates. Dr. Gao also highlights how varying humidity levels in different locations impact device attachment and shares strategies, such as using specific tapes and providing flexible study schedules, to make participation easier for children. This episode is essential for researchers looking to understand the logistical considerations in physical activity data collection among young participants. ____________________________ This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- Learn more about Fibion Flash - a versatile customizable tool with HRV and accelerometry capability. --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.

In this episode, we explore the powerful practice of cycle syncing--a method of aligning nutrition, fitness, sleep, and daily habits with the four phases of the menstrual cycle (menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal) to optimize female health and performance. Designed for women seeking better energy, hormonal balance, and productivity, this episode breaks down how to use biofeedback tools like heart rate variability (HRV) and resting heart rate (RHR) to track recovery, predict hormonal shifts, and guide training intensity. Listeners learn how to adapt their nutrition to reduce cravings and support hormonal balance, improve sleep quality by phase, and adjust their workouts to match energy availability--pushing harder in the follicular and ovulatory phases and embracing recovery in the luteal phase. The key message is clear: cycle syncing is not about restriction, but about working with your body, not against it, to unlock greater vitality, clarity, and long-term health.SHOW NOTES:0:39 Welcome to the show!3:12 The Art of Cycle Syncing6:03 Who this is for9:15 Reducing illness & symptoms11:16 Ancestral cycles & rhythms13:45 Cycle Syncing basics17:01 Data Wearables for Period tracking20:00 Biometrics per menstrual phase27:14 HRV & what recovery feels like28:19 *MIMIO*30:09 Translating HRV metrics35:17 How to start cycle syncing36:46 Cycle Syncing biohacks38:02 Pairing exercise with your cycle42:47 Pairing nutrition with your cycle46:40 Troubleshooting your luteal phase53:10 Cycle syncing as a guide, not a blueprint55:50 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Cycle Syncing GuideOURA RingNatural Cycles appMIMO HEALTH - code: biohackerbabesPUORI - discount code: biohackerbabesSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

They also touch on the limitations of traditional medical education and the potential of technology to empower individuals to take control of their health. Torkil's book, "The Pulse Cure," has been a success in Norway, focusing on heart rate variability and stress management. Scott and Dr. Færø discuss the benefits of heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring, particularly through wearable technology. Mulvaney shares his interest in using HRV to help his wife, a former on-call doctor, improve her sleep and circadian rhythm. Dr. Faarvaer highlights the application of HRV in veterinary medicine and with handicapped children. They emphasize the importance of personalized health management, noting that HRV data can reveal stress levels and improve self-awareness. Dr. Færø also mentions the feedback from thousands of users on Instagram, supporting the book's findings. They agree on the value of wearable technology in empowering individuals to take control of their health.Quote: “The doctor of the future will be oneself.” — Albert SchweitzerYour Co-Host Today: Dr Torkil Færø is a GP and emergency physician, documentary filmmaker, author and photographer. Over a 26-year career as a freelance doctor, he has worked all over Norway, had hundred thousand consultations and thus gained a unique picture of the diseases that plague us. He learned that the cause is most often found in the stresses our lifestyles place on our bodies. When his father died at 73, he realized that he had to change his own lifestyle. Being 40 pounds overweight, under-trained, over-stressed, under-slept and drinking alcohol daily, he learned that this lifestyle could deprive him of decades. Using wearables he found a way to track and regulate his nervous system and physiology. Today's Top 3 Takeaways:Heart rate tracking, stress, and wearable technologies. Individualized health in regards to personal accountability. The role of HRV tracking and the future of health and technology integrations.

Before we dive in, I want to encourage you to learn more about Brady Holmer and his work. He's the founder of the Physiologically Speaking newsletter and editor of Run Long, Run Healthy. You can also check out his e-book, VO₂ Max Essentials, which breaks down one of the most important health metrics we discuss in this episode. Here are the links: Physiologically Speaking: https://bradyholmer.substack.com Run Long, Run Healthy: https://www.runlongrunhealthy.com VO₂ Max Essentials e-book and website: https://www.bradyholmer.com/ Now, onto the episode... Hi everyone. I'm Barbara and this is Age Better. We often focus on numbers like weight, cholesterol, or blood pressure—but what if there were two other numbers that could give you a much clearer picture of how well you're aging? In this episode, I talk with physiologist and science communicator Brady Holmer about VO₂ max and heart rate variability, or HRV—two powerful, science-backed metrics that most of us were never taught to track, but absolutely should. VO₂ max reflects your aerobic capacity and overall cardiovascular fitness, while HRV measures how well your body recovers from stress. The best part? You don't need to be a marathon runner to improve either of these—and they can be key indicators for longevity, resilience, and quality of life. Whether you're new to exercise or already walking and lifting regularly, this episode will give you a better understanding of how to stay strong, mobile, and fit as you age. As Brady says in our conversation, “Walking is an underrated health hack.” And I couldn't agree more. Take a listen—and don't forget to follow the show so you never miss an episode. If you're enjoying Age Better, I'd be so grateful if you left a quick review wherever you listen.

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.
