A potential food crisis is brewing in Arizona that could be a warning to other states as changes to the Supplemental Food Assistance Program start to take effect. Federal funding cuts and major changes to state administration of SNAP have caused enrollment in that state to drop by half. As many as 200,000 children who once received SNAP benefits now go without. Many of those who were dropped are eligible, even with new work requirements, but they can't get through the state's restructured system. State officials estimate one in three Navajo Nation residents receive SNAP benefits. Native Americans in general are much more likely to rely on SNAP than the general population. Arizona has been aggressive in initiating SNAP changes. Those same changes in other states are expected to start rolling out after the midterm elections. We'll find out what's different — and what's the same — in Arizona when it comes to the looming SNAP changes. GUESTS Chairman Julian Hernandez (Pascua Yaqui Tribe) Carly Griffith Hotvedt (Cherokee Nation), executive director at the Indigenous Food and Agriculture Initiative Mary Greene-Trottier (Spirit Lake Nation), president of the National Association of Food Distribution Programs on Indian Reservations and director of the Spirit Lake Tribe Food Distribution Program Jaynie Parrish (Diné), executive director of Arizona Native Vote Michelle Estradé, research associate at the Center for Human Nutrition at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

Keeping the "LIVE" in Alive!  In this Wellness Wednesday Feature Interview , I got a sneak peek at one of the world's biggest nutrition gatherings—Nutrition 2026, hosted by the American Society for Nutrition. Researchers from around the globe gather to reveal the latest discoveries about how food affects our health. My guest was Dr. Diane Stadler, professor of medicine and director of graduate programs in Human Nutrition at Oregon Health & Science University. One of the first things we agreed on? Food really is medicine. I laughed remembering my Italian grandmothers feeding us what we used to call "peasant food"—beans, greens, fresh vegetables and simple meals from the garden. Funny how those same foods are now considered some of the healthiest things you can eat! As I joked on the show: "Our ancestors already knew what to do... somewhere along the way we forgot." Dr. Stadler explained that convenience and processed foods gradually replaced home cooking over the past several decades—and while they've made life easier, they've also made healthy eating more complicated.   A Few Big Takeaways  Whole foods still win. Whenever possible, choose foods closer to their natural form instead of heavily processed versions.   GLP-1 medications work—but nutrition still matters. As these weight-loss drugs become more common, researchers are emphasizing the importance of getting enough protein, vitamins, minerals, and exercise to help preserve muscle while losing weight.   Food safety matters too. With recent produce recalls making headlines, Dr. Stadler recommends buying whole vegetables when possible, washing them well, and preparing them yourself.   And my favorite surprise? The humble red pepper!   When I asked Diane why she always adds one to her salad, she smiled and said: "Red peppers are one of the highest sources of vitamin A and vitamin C... they supercharge my day." By the end of the interview I had officially declared: "I'll always use a red pepper from now on because of Diane!"   Debservation: Sometimes the newest science simply reminds us of what our grandparents and ancestors practiced all along. Eat more real food. Move your body. Don't overcomplicate it. That's the kind of wellness advice that never goes out of style.   This Week's Keeping the LIVE in Alive! Challenge Add one extra colorful vegetable to your plate every day this week. Maybe it'll be a red pepper... like mine. :-) Hope you enjoy our conversation.  Best! Debbie

American health is on the steep decline. MAHA was supposed to fix the problem, but instead has spent time promoting big-meat and big-dairy rather than informing the public about how the obsession and overconsumption of these products is poisoning us at a rate closely aligned with processed junk. Frying potatoes in beef tallow doesn't solve the problem that the food itself, and the additives, are making us addicted and sick. RFK Jr even posted on the official Real Food website that his stance was not an attack on the industry. Well, it should be. Considering that some of the greatest warriors in human history, from Gladiators and Roman Legionary, to Samurai, ate very little meat and dairy, and considering that diets with little or none of these ingredients are the only lifestyle changes in studies that have ever reversed diseases of the heart and diabetes, perhaps we are being lied too yet again. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

In this episode of The Healer Revolution, I sit down with Jack Schroder to explore why mitochondria are so much more than the "powerhouse of the cell."Most conversations about mitochondria begin and end with ATP production. But mitochondria are involved in far more than energy—they influence redox balance, immune function, cellular signaling, hormone production, stress adaptation, and countless other processes that determine how well our cells and, ultimately, our bodies function.Jack has one of the most impressive understandings of physiology I've ever come across. As someone with a master's degree in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine who has spent years studying complex chronic illness, I have yet to learn from anyone else who understands the intersection of biophysics and biochemistry. He has an incredible ability to connect metabolic pathways, enzymes, cofactors, metabolites, and cellular physiology into one cohesive picture that actually makes sense.In this conversation, we discuss:Why mitochondria are much more than ATP factoriesThe relationship between biophysics and biochemistryWhy chronic illness is often a systems problem rather than a single-pathway problemWhat the quantum biology community is missingIf you're interested in learning more from Jack, I highly recommend his Skool community. He does an incredible job of teaching complex physiology in a way that's practical and clinically relevant. The community also includes live Q&A sessions, practitioner-specific calls, and direct feedback on your progress.It's an incredibly valuable resource and a much more affordable way to learn directly from Jack than working with him one-on-one.Join Jack's Skool community here:https://www.skool.com/healthoptimization/about?ref=82187c8c90b34cfc938a46444c3ea3a6

Krebsforscher Dr. Moritz Przybilla erklärt, warum sich Krebs meist über viele Jahre entwickelt, welche Rolle Alter, erbliche Veranlagung, Rauchen, Infektionen, Alkohol, Körpergewicht und Bewegung spielen und was an Mythen wie „Zucker füttert Krebs“, Fasten oder ketogener Ernährung dran ist. Außerdem sprechen wir über Biopsien, Immuntherapie, personalisierte Krebsmedizin und die Forschung an Krebsimpfstoffen – und darüber, warum eine Erkrankung niemals eine Frage persönlicher Schuld ist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dominiks Buch zur pflanzenbasierten Sporternährung im UTB-Verlag: https://www.utb.de/doi/book/10.36198/9783838560328 Dominiks Gesundheitscommunity: www.gsundes-hannover.de Dominiks Online-Knie-Kurs: https://gsundes-hannover.de/knieschmerzen/ Dominiks Online-Rücken-Kurs: https://copecart.com/products/34bd5abb/checkout Marcs veganes Online-Fitness-Coaching: https://vegainer-academy.com/ Marcs Online-Kurs: https://www.copecart.com/products/a50f88f2/checkout Moritz Instagram-Kanal: https://www.instagram.com/dr.moritzprzy/?hl=de ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dieser Podcast wird unterstützt von der Firma Watson Nutrition.

In this conversation, Ari Whitten and I go straight to the cellular level to answer a question most of cardiology never asks: where does your energy actually come from, and what happens to your heart when it runs low? Ari walks through the work of Dr. Robert Naviaux and the ‘cell danger response,' the idea that your mitochondria are constantly reading the environment and deciding whether to make energy or switch into defense mode. Stressors like toxins, junk food, poor sleep, and chronic psychological stress push them toward defense, and that shift shows up as fatigue, oxidative stress, and inflammation, the same drivers I see underneath so much heart disease.From there, we get practical. Ari breaks down why how you breathe matters as much as how much you move, how a simple breath-hold test reflects your body's oxygen delivery, and why 20 to 30 minutes of daily movement may be one of the most powerful things you can do for your heart. It all comes back to what I teach every day: Eat Well, Live Well, Think Well. Give your cells what they were designed for, and your energy and your heart tend to follow.- - - - -About the Guest:Ari Whitten, MS, is the founder of The Energy Blueprint and one of the most respected evidence-based voices on fatigue, energy, and mitochondrial health. He holds a Master of Science in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine, a bachelor's in Kinesiology, and certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a Corrective Exercise Specialist and Performance Enhancement Specialist.After losing nearly a year of his own life to severe chronic fatigue in his twenties, Ari devoted his career to understanding how cellular energy is built and broken. He is the bestselling author of Eat for Energy and The Ultimate Guide to Red Light Therapy, and has taught his science-first approach to energy on stages around the world.Website: theenergyblueprint.comInstagram: @theenergyblueprintPodcast: The Energy Blueprint- - - - -Jack Wolfson, DO, FACCWebsites: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://drjackwolfson.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠; ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://naturalheartdoctor.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjackwolfson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ready to move past the confusion and fear of typical heart health approaches? Visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠naturalheartdoctor.com/discovery⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to schedule your free discovery call and start your journey toward a 100-year heart with real, evidence-based answers.- - - - -PODCAST Thank you for listening. Please subscribe and share. This podcast is produced by DrTalks.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://drtalks.com/podcast-service/

97-Year-Old Brain Scientist Professor Michael Crawford reveals why the human brain has been physically shrinking for thousands of years, why he believes it was DHA, an omega-3 fat from the sea, and not your genes, that built human intelligence, and why the official advice to limit fish in pregnancy may be harming an entire generation of babies!Professor Michael Crawford is Director of the Institute of Brain Chemistry and Human Nutrition and a visiting professor at Imperial College London, with more than 300 published papers and the 1972 work that first linked DHA to the evolution of the human brain. At 97, he is still sharp, still publishing, and still arguing that modern nutrition has neglected the one organ that makes us human.He explains:◼️ Why the brain physically cannot work without DHA, full stop◼️ Why it was DHA, not DNA, that shaped the human brain◼️ Why he says the FDA is wrong about limiting fish in pregnancy◼️ How seed oils quietly crowd this fat out of your brain cells◼️ Whether dementia and Alzheimer's actually begin in the womb◼️ Why humans could only have evolved big brains beside the sea◼️ How chicken and eggs lost almost all of their brain fat◼️ Why he believes DHA works like a semiconductor in your neuronsEpisode Show Notes: https://livelongerworld.com/p/mcrawfordFind me on X: https://x.com/aasthajs Instagram: https://instagram.com/aasthajs My health stack: https://www.healthstacked.com/aasthajsTIMESTAMPS:00:00 The Brain Food We Stopped Eating00:32 "Your Brain Won't Work Without DHA.

Women's MMA pioneer Jen Case (Dr. JenJitsu) joins Mike Davis for a rare, in-depth interview on the MMA History Podcast.Jen went 4-1 as a pro, finishing every victory by submission — including two wins over fellow pioneer Julie Kedzie (armbar and triangle). From a small Kansas farming community, she went from self-defense classes and karate to learning Jiu-Jitsu from Mario Sperry VHS tapes, competing in men's brackets just to face other women, and helping lay the foundation for women's MMA when the sport barely wanted them around.This episode dives into the raw realities of the early days: training in gyms where the guys tried to make her quit, $100 purses, paying to fight, long drives to shows, Hook & Shoot battles, facing tough opponents like Greta Hicks and Erin Toughill, wild backstage scenes, and the no-nonsense mindset of that era.

Don walks through the historical context behind early guidelines, including where things may have gone off track, particularly around the treatment of fat, cholesterol, and protein-rich foods.From there, the discussion moves into the science. Don outlines the limitations of relying heavily on observational nutrition research and contrasts this with findings from controlled trials, particularly in relation to protein requirements and metabolic health. He explains why he recommended a shift to the new protein targets to better support muscle, satiety, and overall health.Dr. Donald Layman is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Food Science & Human Nutrition at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Balchem makes its first appearance on Episode #216 of the PricePlow Podcast. Tom Druke, Senior Marketing Manager at Balchem’s Human Nutrition & Health division, joins Mike and Ben to cover three flagship branded ingredients: VitaCholine® (choline bitartrate), Albion® Minerals (chelated mineral technology), and a first look at K2VITAL® (vitamin K2 MK-7). Tom walks through Balchem’s growth story: from roughly 30% human nutrition a decade ago to 60-70% today, driven by strategic acquisitions (Albion® in 2016, then Bergstrom Nutrition for OptiMSM® and Kappa Bioscience, which brought K2VITAL®, in 2022). He also explains the New York Jets partnership launched in May 2024, which Balchem and the Jets jointly described as the first partnership between an ingredient company and a major U.S. professional sports team. The choline discussion covers depletion in athletes and knowledge workers, the L(+)-bitartrate vs. DL-bitartrate distinction, the connection to nitric oxide, and what a 2015 published study on visuomotor performance revealed about choline’s role in focus and fine motor coordination. On the mineral side, Tom unpacks Albion’s chelation technology, FT-IR quality verification, and what NOW Foods’ 2022 Amazon audit revealed about third-party magnesium products. This is an educational one, to say the least.

n this episode, I'm joined by Jessica Biesiekierski, Associate Professor and Head of Human Nutrition at the University of Melbourne, and an NHMRC Emerging Leadership Fellow specialising in diet, gut health, and gut–brain interactions. Jess is internationally recognised for her work on non-coeliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), a term she helped define during her PhD at Monash University. Her research has been instrumental in shaping how we understand the complex relationship between gluten, gut symptoms, and the role of other dietary factors. In this episode, we explore what NCGS actually is — and what it isn't — why diagnosing it remains challenging, and the role of factors like fermentable carbohydrates and the nocebo effect in symptom generation. Whether you're a clinician, researcher, or someone navigating gluten-related symptoms, this conversation offers clear, evidence-based insights into a highly debated and evolving area of gut health. Please enjoy my conversation with Dr Jessica Biesiekierski

The beverage coolers in one of our local quickmarts take up almost two entire walls. There's everything in there from a variety of water products, to carbonated soft-drinks, to energy drinks. Many of the beverage products in those coolers are what would be known as SSB's, or sugar-sweetened beverages. It's no secret that our children and teens largely favor these ssb's, as they are packaged and marketed in ways that attract their attention, along with the fact that kids have always loved the taste. A new study reported in the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics reminds us that these drinks and other sugary foods do contribute to childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes. But the study also found that there's a connection between high sugary drink intake and increased anxiety in teenagers. Parents, you are called to keep watch over and steward your child's physical and mental health. Control your child's intake of sodas, energy drinks, and sweetened juices.

Send us Fan MailWhat if one of the biggest reasons people stay stuck in chronic illness recovery is mold?In this episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael Rubino sits down with integrative medicine practitioner Michelle McKeon to talk about the overlap between mold exposure, Lyme disease, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), long COVID, immune dysregulation, and personalized treatment.Michelle shares why more patients today need customized care, how mold can suppress the immune system and complicate recovery, and why treatment order matters so much for sensitive people.

Is whey protein really superior to plant-based protein powders for building muscle? It's a claim that still pops up constantly in fitness spaces: that whey protein is the “gold standard” for muscle growth, while plant proteins are somehow inferior. In this mini solo episode, I break down the science behind this belief and explain why the research does not support the idea that whey protein is better than plant-based protein powders for building muscle. This episode was inspired by a recent conversation in a WhatsApp group where someone suggested that whey protein is “better” because of faster absorption, superior amino acid profile, and greater effectiveness for muscle gain. But when we actually look at the evidence, studies comparing plant proteins like soy and pea protein to whey show no meaningful difference in muscle mass or strength gains when combined with resistance training. For athletes, gym-goers, and anyone trying to increase protein intake, plant proteins are a perfectly effective alternative without using animal products, and the environmental concerns associated with dairy.

Pea proteins oral supplementation promotes muscle thickness gains during resistance training: a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial vs whey protein. 3. Protein and Amino Acid Requirements in Human Nutrition. 4.

Send a textWhile I was running a 12-hour, overnight trail race in Highlands Ranch, Colo. in 2024, I got a hamstring cramp that forced me to walk until I could get it to go away. In the middle of the night, when it was fairly cool. What the heck! I started to think afterwards about the number of times I'd been impaired by muscle cramps over the course of 35-plus years of races. At mile 30 of the Leadville Trail 100. At mile 22 of the Lost Dutchman Marathon in Arizona when I was on BQ pace. When my hamstring and quad muscles cramped simultaneously at mile 23 of the Boston Marathon, causing me to hobble-walk a 19-minute mile when I had been on my way to perhaps breaking 3:10. With another Leadville Trail 100 attempt only a couple of months away, I decided it was time to do something about this chronic issue and get a sweat test done at the Nutrition Mechanic in Boulder, Colo. It's a very simple test done in their office. They also had me do three short trial runs to determine my fluid loss rate. It was a real eye-opener. I always knew I sweated a lot of salt, but my degree of fluid loss was rather astounding. I was losing from 0.8 to 1.0 pounds of fluid in just a half-hour! Since your ability becomes impaired once you exceed losing 2% of your body weight, using 150 lbs. as a rough number, meant that that 2% was happening to me in only 90 minutes. I had never considered it necessary to carry water for a run this short. This info was a total game-changer for me.  I used this knowledge during the LT100 to dial in my fluid and electrolyte intakes using products from Precision Fuel, and bam, no muscle cramps hindered me at all. In this episode, you are going to learn a lot that might also greatly impact your training and race performances with Nutrition Mechanic founder and CEO Dina Griffin. Dina is a registered dietician who has an MS in Food Science and Human Nutrition and has also finished races like Leadville, Run Rabbit Run, and Comrades. Our conversation goes in-depth not only about how to use sweat test results and the genetics behind them, but how to efficiently fuel, various kinds of testing that can be done to optimize performance, supplementation, and much more. Dina shares a lot of practical advice in very relatable ways that will potentially help you make adjustments that don't require extreme supplementation or radical dieting.Dina Griffinnutritionmechanic.comFacebook The Nutrition MechanicInstagram @nutritionmechanicLinkedIn DinagriffinrdPodcast Inside Sports NutritionBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to the We Are Superman Newsletter!https://mailchi.mp/dab62cfc01f8/newsletter-signupSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8Register for the American Heroes Run: https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=133138Ride to End ALZ Coloradowww.alz.org/rideco

A thoughtful and educational conversation with Dr. Nab explores tremors, brain health, and the powerful connection between the gut and the nervous system. The discussion reframes symptoms as meaningful signals rather than issues to ignore, unpacking different types of tremors and potential root causes such as nutrient deficiencies, toxins, stress, and gut imbalances. With a functional medicine lens, the episode highlights the importance of early awareness, foundational lifestyle habits, and proactive brain care—showing how small, informed changes can support long-term neurological health and overall vitality.  Key Takeaways:   Symptoms like tremors are signals from the body, inviting us to look deeper rather than accept them as inevitable.  Brain health is closely tied to gut integrity, nutrient status, and the body's ability to manage toxins.  Foundational habits—movement, hydration, and whole foods—play a critical role in protecting cognitive health.  Stress and nervous system overload can amplify underlying imbalances over time.  Proactive testing and early awareness help put the odds in favor of long-term brain resilience and vitality.  About Dr. Georgia Nab:  Dr. Georgia Nab entered the chiropractic industry in 1992 by owning a chiropractic clinic in Wichita, Kansas. From 2012 through 2017, she joined a manufacturing facility in Wisconsin to provide chiropractic care, nutritional counseling, and educational training to the employees at the company's corporate headquarters. While there, she authored her book called 1 Degree of Change, in addition to numerous other publications.   In 2015, she graduated with her Masters in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine degree.

What if the missing piece to your wellness journey wasn't a supplement or a workout… but light? In this podcast, we're talking about one of the most underrated tools in health and hormone optimization: red light therapy. Expert in the area, Ari Whitten, joins me to shine light on red light and all the ways it can boost your health and confidence long term. Ari is a bestselling author, a top podcast host, and one of the most trusted voices in the science of energy, mitochondria, and red light therapy. In this episode, we cover: Why red light therapy is a game-changer for women in midlife How it impacts your hormones, sleep, brain, skin, and fat metabolism What most people get completely wrong about red light dosing And how to avoid wasting money on the wrong devices Ari's here to cut through the wellness noise and deliver the truth—with clarity and science to back it up. Tune in here for a deep dive into all red light therapy can do for you!  Ari Whitten, M.S. Ari Whitten is the founder of The Energy Blueprint and bestselling author of The Ultimate Guide to Red Light Therapy and Eat for Energy. He has a B.S. in Exercise Science and a Master of Science in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine. For over 30 years, he's immersed himself in nutrition science, exercise physiology, and evolutionary biology, as well as cutting-edge areas like neuroscience, geroscience, circadian science, microbiome research, and more. He hosts The Energy Blueprint Podcast, and his books, online programs, coaching, and nutritional supplement line have helped thousands of people worldwide to optimize their health, energy, and longevity. IN THIS EPISODE What is red light therapy, and how can it benefit your health?  How to make time for red light therapy in your routine  The importance of high-quality red light therapy  Different red light devices for targeting your needs in the body  The science and studies behind red light therapy  How to maximize systemic benefits of red light therapy  About Ari's book: The Ultimate Guide to Red Light Therapy QUOTES“There's an enormous amount of poor quality devices, worthless devices, junk devices on the market that are a waste of money that won't do anything valuable.” “If your interest is combating arthritis or affecting a certain muscle or tendon injury or ankle sprain or something like that, you want to focus on the dose of light delivered directly to those tissues. On the other hand, if you are interested in general anti-aging health longevity... The bigger concern is actually the total dose of light delivered to your overall body.” “A lot of the focus is on the intensity of the light… But the other thing is: how big of a surface area is that intensity of light hitting? What is the total amount of light delivered to the tissue? That's going to hugely impact those systemic effects like the release of stem cells into your circulation.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order Ari's book: The Ultimate Guide to Red Light Therapy on Amazon https://theenergyblueprint.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Guide-Light-Therapy-Revised/ The Energy Blueprint Website The Energy Blueprint Podcast RELATED EPISODES  623: RED LIGHT THERAPY FOR UPGRADING YOUR MITOCHONDRIA, CELLULAR ENERGY, SKIN AND BRAIN HEALTH WITH JONATHAN OTTO 693: TIRED ALL THE TIME?

Heart Health Month opens with a powerful, eye-opening conversation on cholesterol, root-cause healing, and whole-person wellness. Dr. Georgia Nabs explore why cholesterol is so misunderstood, the real story behind statins, and how inflammation, blood sugar, liver health, and lifestyle choices all intersect to shape heart health. From functional testing and advanced diagnostics to simple, practical daily shifts, this episode reframes what it truly means to care for your heart. Blending science, compassion, and lived experience, the conversation invites listeners to move beyond fear-based medicine and into empowered, informed, and proactive wellness—where education becomes the foundation for lasting health and vitality.  Key Takeaways:   True heart health begins by understanding root causes, not just managing symptoms or lab numbers.  Cholesterol is more complex than "good" and "bad," and context matters more than fear-based assumptions.  Inflammation, blood sugar balance, and liver health play a central role in cardiovascular wellness.  Empowered patients ask better questions and become active participants in their healing journey.  Sustainable wellness comes from education, consistency, and small daily choices that compound over time.  About Dr. Georgia Nab:  Dr. Georgia Nab entered the chiropractic industry in 1992 by owning a chiropractic clinic in Wichita, Kansas.

Today on the podcast, I'm joined by Alexandra Bucko, a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Mineral Nutritional Balancing Practitioner who works primarily with complex and chronic illness cases.Alex specializes in hypermobility and hypermobility-related connective tissue disorders, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, POTS, autonomic dysfunction, and extreme hypersensitivities—and she brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to this work, having navigated many of these conditions herself.In this conversation, I had so many questions around the differences between connective tissue disorders, how to know if you might have one, what symptoms to look for, and how diagnosis actually works. We also talk about whether some of these patterns can improve or even reverse with the right support, and why so many people experience overlap between genetic factors, autonomic dysfunction, and sensitivity-driven symptoms.We go beyond labels and dive into practical, grounded strategies to support the body physically, structurally, and emotionally, especially for those who feel like their system is fragile, reactive, or hard to stabilize.Alex is also pursuing her medical doctorate and a Master's of Science in Human Nutrition, with completion expected in 2028 and 2027. She currently lives in Split, Croatia, and when she's not working with clients or studying, you'll find her at the beach, traveling, or enjoying good food.This episode is especially valuable if you've been trying to make sense of complex symptoms, overlapping diagnoses, or feel like your body doesn't respond to conventional approaches.Throughhealthandback.com

Today we're talking about Simon Hill's personal experience with CVD, what prompted him to have early screening for heart disease and what his results have shown. Which is quite surprising.Simon has early signs of heart disease and now he has a decision to make around whether he embarks on early drug treatment or delays treatment to watch how it evolves. As many of us become more pragmatic about health screening, it's a situation that a lot of us will find ourselves in. Especially with the rise in popularity of full body scans.We also have a discussion around fats, the types of fats in the diet and how one may choose to lower their cholesterol with diet and lifestyle.We go on a virtual trip to the supermarket with Simon and discuss the framework for how to choose fats. The things you need to ask yourself about consuming fats, including the dose and what you're eating it with.Simon Hill, a physiotherapist and nutrition scientist, is dedicated to simplifying health and nutrition information. He began his career interested in the physiology and anatomy related to optimal athletic performance. Then, encouraged by his Dad's heart attack, he turned his attention to nutrition's role in preventing disease and optimising health. Concerned about misleading wellness industry trends, he completed a Master of Science in Human Nutrition at Deakin University.
