In Texas and Louisiana, chefs, millers, and home bakers are increasingly turning to using whole-grain, stone-milled flour in their breads, cakes, and pastries. These flours are milled with the ancient process of stone milling: flour is produced by crushing the whole kernel of the wheat grain between enormous stones, versus the more modern process of roller milling, which produces the finely grained, snow-white flour most of us are accustomed to. Stone-ground flour is coarser and more nutrient dense, and can also be more difficult to source, use, and store thanconventional flour. Despite that, these flours are no longer the sole purview of professional pastry chefs and artisan bread bakers. A new group of consumers are turning to organic, stone ground, and so-called heritage or ancient strains of wheat: followers of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement. These home bakers are increasingly convinced that modern, roller-milled wheat is making them sick, resulting in diagnoses as broad as chronic inflammation, IBS, and non-Celiac gluten intolerance. As a baker and recipe developer, Bronwen Wyatt wanted to get to the bottom of the flour debate, which reflects a growing anxiety around the safety of American food. She speaks to bakers Pamela Thibodeaux of Barton Springs Mill in Dripping Springs, Texas and Keira Watt of Bellegarde Bakery in New Orleans to learn why they choose to use stone milled flour, and what their customers are communicating to them about their flour choices. She also turns to scientistsDr. Jessica Biesiekierski, an expert in non-celiac gluten intolerance, and Dr. Aaron Fox, who specializes in organic and sustainable agriculture, to learn more about whether our fears aroundwheat mean we need to change our shopping and baking behaviors. Do we need to have an all-or-nothing approach to conventional flour, or can all the South's many diverse, long-standing baking traditions continue to co-exist? Learn more about your ad choices.

Most health experts who take insurance have been told the same thing. If you want to make real money, drop insurance and start selling high-ticket cash pay programs. I like a good cash pay program. I also think that advice gets applied to practices where it makes very little sense. This episode is a real coaching conversation with my client Angelina, who owns an established, heavily insurance-based dietitian practice in Ohio. She has clients, she gets referrals from gastroenterology groups, and her reimbursement rates are solid. The most important question for her business was never whether to blow up a working model. It was how to make that model more profitable, more differentiated, and less dependent on adding sessions to her calendar. We build a hybrid offer in real time, where insurance covers the clinical sessions and the client pays separately for the testing, messaging access, and resources insurance was never going to cover. We get into pricing, continuity, boundaries around access, and how to position a practice so the big insurance-based platforms stop being competitors at all. If the only two options you've been given are more 1:1 sessions or stop taking insurance, this conversation gives you a third option that's got serious potential. Timeline Highlights [00:00] – Why "stop taking insurance" is the wrong first move for an established practice [08:16] – Angelina's setup: buying a twenty-year-old insurance-based practice in Ohio [12:57] – How a hybrid offer works and what the cash portion actually pays for [15:51] – Competing with Nourish, Fay, and BerryStreet without competing on price [20:44] – Naming the specific result: healing IBS and IBD instead of managing symptoms [29:08] – Building a low-ticket continuity offer so clients don't disappear at month four [33:10] – What belongs on the cash-pay side: testing, meal plans, supplements, portal resources [37:40] – Pricing the hybrid when insurance already covers part of the total [42:44] – Why graduating every client costs you revenue and costs them results [48:40] – Setting messaging boundaries before you need them [55:45] – SEO, GEO, and Google reviews for a practice built on local referrals [1:04:41] – Doubling income without adding a single session Top Quotes from the Episode "You can't out-price a company with venture funding and insurance leverage. The move is to build something they aren't even offering." "Nobody stands in a parking lot deciding between McDonald's and a good gourmet burger. Those aren't the same product, and your practice shouldn't be the same product as a platform handing out free sessions." "Insurance teaches people to buy an hour of your time. A signature offer teaches them to buy a result." "The cash portion of a hybrid offer covers everything insurance was never going to pay for, which is usually the part that creates the outcome." "Not everyone wants to be graduated. I've worked with the same trainer for eleven years because I like having the help, and your clients are no different." "People overstuff their deliverables and then spend years on the hook for all of it. The better question is what's the least amount of support someone needs to get what they came for." "Set the boundary before you need it. Renegotiating access after someone has already crossed the line is a much harder conversation." "This model lets you earn twice as much from the same number of sessions, or keep the income steady and cut your session load in half."

You knew something was wrong with your body long before anyone found it. Months, sometimes years, of being the only one who kept taking your chronic illness seriously - while the standard tests came back clear and the system ran out of places to look. So you found your own answers. And you were right.But here's the part almost no one connects to their physical symptoms. When being proven right costs you that much, a part of you starts holding onto the evidence of how sick you are — because that proof is the thing you fought to earn. And that emotional pattern can sit directly across from the healing you say you want as a woman with chronic illness.In this episode, you'll discover:Why the years you spent being the only one who believed you can end up working against you now.Why part of you can want to be well and resist it in the same breath.What changes when getting well no longer feels like conceding anything.Becoming the Version of You Who Heals is my seven-day audio series that works at the level of identity — separating who you are from what you've been diagnosed with, one day at a time.

What happens when the stress of being a first responder doesn't just stay in your head but starts showing up in your gut?Today, we're joined by Police Chief Michael Assad Jr. of the Rochester, Massachusetts Police Department for an honest conversation about the often-overlooked connection between first responder stress, gut health, IBS, and nutrition.From high-pressure calls and long shifts to those unexpected “code brown” moments, chronic stress can take a serious toll on the digestive system. We'll talk about recognizing those warning signs, why gut health deserves more attention in the first responder community, and how nutrition, stress management and everyday habits can play a role in feeling better and performing at your best.This is a conversation about stress, resilience, and taking care of the part of your body that may be trying to tell you it's time to slow down and pay attention.We share practical ways to build a culture where officers can recover from adrenaline, fuel better on shift, and get support without stigma. • why shift work and disrupted routines can trigger IBS symptoms • the “SHIT” acronym: shift work, high octane habits, irregular nutrition, tactical stress • how energy drinks, dehydration, and gas station food can backfire fast • simple leadership moves that normalize wellness and real help seeking • fitness incentives, workout on duty, and building a wellness room • on scene tools like box breathing and diaphragmatic breathing • gentle diet cleanup basics: adjusting caffeine, alcohol, hydration, and fiber, per tolerance• nicotine pouches and stress habits that can worsen gut symptoms • when to see a doctor and what red flags to watch for • why a clear diagnosis can lower stress and improve symptoms Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave us a comment.

Constipation is often met with the same advice: eat more fibre, drink more water and move more. But what if you're already doing all of that and still struggling? In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki explores why constipation isn't one single problem — and why piling on more fibre can sometimes make things worse. She breaks down the differences between slow-transit constipation, IBS-related symptoms and pelvic floor dysfunction, including dyssynergic defecation. Mikki also looks at why the type of fibre matters, the evidence for psyllium, kiwifruit, prunes and magnesium oxide, and when supplements or medications may actually be contributing to the problem. Plus, she explains the signs that suggest it may be time to look beyond nutrition and seek medical or pelvic health support.In this episode:Why more fibre can sometimes worsen bloating and constipationPsyllium versus inulin, chicory root and insoluble fibresThe overlooked role of pelvic floor dysfunction and outlet obstructionEvidence for two kiwifruit daily, prunes and magnesium oxideOther contributors including medications, supplements, thyroid function, under-eating, stress and poor sleep Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwillidenNZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzSave 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
The Great Leader has given it a huge amount of thought and has decided that 'Retail Roulette' (an idea that the IBS half-heartedly tried out last week) could, in theory, potentially, in the right market conditions, become a semi-regular feature, depending on many factors...

August is a Fallow Month for us, so we are dialing back on some of our activities while we focus our attention on coursework production, curriculum development, and - most importantly - hands-on herbalism in the field, kitchen, and apothecary.If you don't know or don't remember what a Fallow Month is, listen to the full explanation in episode 212! Or if you'd prefer some reading, check out Katja's piece If You Really Want to Learn Herbalism, Stop Studying.This week we're airing a replay of episode 230: Acknowledging Complexity Is Not Gatekeeping.When you're an herbalist, it's normal to get questions from people about herbs. Usually they're thinking that it's a simple question, and expecting a simple response: “What's good for IBS?” “Chamomile.” But the truth is a lot more complex than that! When you learn about herbalism, you come to understand that there are no herbs “for” any disease state. Instead, there are herbs who can exert influences on the body, and those may match well (or poorly) with the specific state of an individual person. So you become less enthusiastic about simply giving someone the name of an herb when they ask “what'll work for…?”This dynamic is even more pronounced on social media. Whether in an herbalism discussion group or in direct messages from your followers, an herbalist on social media will see lots of these types of questions – and lots of those one-word responses, too! But people don't take the names of herbs – they take herbs! Which means they prepare tea (using this much plant matter for that much water), or they take tincture (made at this or that herb:menstruum ratio), or they get a supplement (made by this or that brand)… And so even if you give someone the name of a plant, have you really helped them figure out how to take it? How much to take? How often, for how long? All those details can make or break the success of an intervention.When you get that kind of question, you want to give a helpful answer – and that can mean an answer that's quite different from what the asker expects. Instead of simply listing names of herbs, try giving an insight into your own herbal thought process! For example, if they're asking about “herbs for headaches”, you can briefly describe various patterns that can cause headache – heat, dryness, tension, stagnation, etc – and help them identify what kind of headache they have.From there, you can suggest herbs to experiment with – and that's an important phrase, “to experiment with”! Helping people understand that working with herbs involves multiple rounds of self-experimentation is a great service you can provide.It takes a little more time to construct a response like this, but it's significantly more helpful to the asker. They might expect you to simply know the right herb for them, and if you just say “it depends and it's complicated”, that can feel like you're gatekeeping. But if you share your own decision-making process, you both teach them how to think like an herbalist (even just a little bit), and you help them understand you're not holding out on them!Looking to improve your skills as an herbalist and clinician?

Kristeva Dowling is an international award-winning mead maker, author, entrepreneur, and certified carnivore coach from Alberta, Canada. After years of struggling with severe rosacea that resembled cystic acne, IBS, chronic constipation, and 13 years of recurring breast lumps that led to repeated biopsies and constant monitoring, she transformed her health through a ketogenic, then carnivore, way of eating. Today, those symptoms have completely resolved. As the founder of Stolen Harvest Meadery and author of Chicken Poop for the Soul: In Search of Food Sovereignty, Kristeva is passionate about food sovereignty, regenerative agriculture, and helping people rediscover metabolic health through real food. Most recently, she founded Tallow & Crumb, the world's first animal-based cookie company, creating baking mixes made with nutrient-dense ingredients like whole milk powder, collagen, and gelatin to give the carnivore and animal-based community a genuinely satisfying alternative to ultra-processed "health" foods. Her work sits at the intersection of farming, fermentation, entrepreneurship, and ancestral nutrition, offering a practical perspective on healing, resilience, and challenging conventional wisdom.

Food as Medicine: Why Medical Nutrition Therapy and Medically Tailored Meals Belong in Modern Healthcare: Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin argues that food should be treated with the same rigor as medication through medical nutrition therapy (MNT) and “diet prescriptions,” integrating nutrition into treatment plans rather than leaving it as optional advice. She cites evidence that medically tailored meals (MTMs) can improve outcomes and reduce costs, including a Health Affairs simulation estimating $23.7B in first-year net savings nationwide and a Nature Medicine analysis of a Massachusetts Medicaid demonstration (2020–2023) showing MTM recipients had 31% fewer hospitalizations, 20% fewer emergency visits, and $3,433 lower total healthcare costs, offsetting 98% of program costs. She discusses food insecurity, expanding Medicaid coverage via Section 1115 waivers, EHR integration, and how MTMs support adherence for conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, depression, and IBS (including low FODMAP).
For women with chronic illness, the dread that builds ahead of a hard week can cost you more than the week itself.You spend Sunday running the work, the appointments, the flare you're sure is coming — and by Monday your body has already lived it three times over. This mini is about that anticipatory dread, one of the emotional patterns that quietly drains the energy your body needs, and the simple shift that stops you living the hard thing twice. It's one of the most relatable patterns I see in women with chronic illness and autoimmune illness, and almost no one connects it to how depleted they feel.In this episode, you'll discover:Why dreading a hard week can wear you out more than the week itself doesWhat your body does when you rehearse something stressful that hasn't happened yetOne question that pulls you out of the dread and back into the day you're actually inUse my free ChatGPT prompt to identify the emotional patterns that may be connected to your symptoms in under 30 seconds.

If you've been chasing hormone balance for months and still feel exhausted, bloated, and stuck with weight that won't budge no matter what you eat, there's a piece of this puzzle almost nobody's talking about: what's actually happening in your nervous system every time you sit down to a meal. You've probably heard that stress affects your gut health. But have you ever considered that the exact foods you're eating might be creating the stress in the first place — triggering the same fight-or-flight response as a car accident? That's exactly what I dig into with Luis Mojica, a somatic educator, certified holistic nutritionist, and bestselling author of Food Therapy: Conscious Eating to Navigate Anxiety, Stress, and Trauma. Luis has spent years working at the intersection of trauma, nervous system regulation, and eating — and this conversation completely reframes how I think about brain fog, low energy, and the binge-and-shame cycle so many women in perimenopause know all too well. In this episode: The "seesaw" pattern almost everyone runs on without realizing it — why your morning stimulants might be setting your cortisol and blood sugar up to crash by dinnertime, and why that crash so often ends at the pantry. Why some genuinely healthy foods can trigger the same adrenal stress response as overworking or a car accident — and what that means for anyone dealing with digestive issues, bloating, or IBS that diets alone haven't fixed. The real difference between nutritional hunger and emotional hunger, and the simple somatic check-in Luis uses to tell them apart before a craving turns into a binge. Why what you've been calling "self-sabotage" might actually be your body's overwhelm response — and what that reframe means for anyone stuck in chronic stress and exhaustion. If you've ever felt like your metabolism, your energy, and your relationship with food are all working against you at once, this conversation connects dots that most gut health and hormone balance content leaves out entirely. Stress isn't just something that happens to you around food — it's something certain foods and eating patterns can actually create, and that distinction changes everything about where you start. Press play, and you'll walk away with a completely different lens on your cravings, your fatigue, and why the fix has never been about trying harder.

Being symptom-free is the whole goal. And for a lot of women with chronic illness, it's also the most uncomfortable place to be.When your symptoms finally ease and a good stretch arrives, something feels off instead of freeing. So you spend it waiting for the crash, watching the horizon, unable to relax into the exact thing you've been working toward. This episode is about that fear of feeling good — one of the emotional patterns behind chronic illness and autoimmune illness in women that almost no one connects to their physical symptoms and why it keeps your body stuck.In this episode, you'll discover:Why a good stretch can leave you more on edge than a flare doesWhat your body is actually doing in the moments you can't let yourself enjoyThe one shift that lets you finally enjoy a good day instead of anxiously awaiting something to come ruin itUse my free ChatGPT prompt to identify the emotional patterns that may be connected to your symptoms in under 30 seconds.

A teacher came in for migraines and weight loss with a stack of leaky gut test results and a diagnosis that never fixed her. Shiv K. Goel is a board-certified internal medicine and functional medicine physician who argues that leaky gut is not a diagnosis but a physiological response, and that the upstream driver is often chronic stress and a dysregulated cortisol rhythm. This episode is based on his article "Why your leaky gut tests aren't fixing your symptoms," published on KevinMD. You will hear why a normal scope and an IBS label can still leave a patient uncured, why no single permeability test is reliable on its own, and why objective results still matter because they drive patient adherence. He explains why he reaches for sleep, stress reduction, and targeted support over a generic supplement stack, and why you should neither dismiss patients with normal labs nor over-order unvalidated panels. Press play to hear why the fix starts with the story behind the symptoms, not the next panel. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

What if the belief you're holding about your own future is the very thing keeping you from healing?For a lot of women with chronic illness, hope feels almost impossible to hold onto. Your body hurts, the evidence that you can get better is thin, and somewhere along the way you decided this might just be your life now. But that belief shapes everything you do next, and the emotional patterns underneath it have a real effect on whether anything changes. This mini is about why you have to believe better is possible before the proof arrives, not after, and the one shift that starts building that belief on real things that are actually happening.In this mini, you'll discover:Why believing healing is possible has to come before the evidence, not afterThe reason hope feels so hard to hold when you're the one living in a body that hurtsOne shift that turns every small win into proof your body can get better7-DAY AUDIO SERIES: Becoming the Version of You Who HealsThat 3am thought, "what if this is just my life now?", stops being the thing you wake up to.

Have you been struggling with gut issues for years, or suddenly have bloating, weird pain or digestive problems now that menopause is here? Are you one of those who cut out gluten hoping for relief, only to feel just as lousy (or worse)? We cover: Why your gut goes a little haywire in menopause, and why it has nothing to do with "just getting older" The gluten truth that made me rethink everything I put in my mouth (most of us get this completely backwards) How simply believing a food will hurt you can physically make it hurt you, and what that means for your power to change it A free international study you can join from your couch if you're dealing with IBS The one simple shift that beats probiotics and cutting out foods for a calmer gut Associate Professor Jessica Biesiekierski is Head of Human Nutrition at the University of Melbourne and one of Australia's leading researchers in gut health, diet, and gut–brain interaction. Jess leads large international randomised controlled trials investigating how dietary and psychological interventions can improve gut conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Her work has been published in top journals including The Lancet, Gastroenterology, and The American Journal of Gastroenterology. She is internationally recognised for her research on non-coeliac gluten sensitivity, the low FODMAP diet, and how gut–brain mechanisms shape food-related symptoms. She currently leads the world-first head-to-head study comparing the low FODMAP diet with exposure-based cognitive behavioural therapy in people with IBS, recruiting across Australia and the USA. Clinical trial — the Exclude or Expose Study in IBS — which is actively recruiting adults with IBS in both Australia and the USA. The trial compares two leading, evidence-based IBS treatments head-to-head for the first time: the low FODMAP diet (an exclusion-based dietary approach) versus exposure-based cognitive behavioural therapy (which works by helping the brain respond differently to gut symptoms and feared foods). Both are delivered entirely online over 12 weeks, free of charge, with one-on-one support from a dietitian or psychologist throughout. Many women experiencing gut symptoms around menopause may qualify.

Tens of millions of Americans live with chronic pain, often after years of tests, treatments, and specialist visits without finding relief. Chronic pain can also be misunderstood, whether it takes the form of migraines, IBS, fatigue, or other symptoms, and can significantly affect quality of life and emotional health. We spoke with Howard Schubiner, MD, author of Unlearn Your Pain: The Science of Recovering from Chronic Pain, Fatigue, Anxiety, and Depression, about “neuroplastic” pain, how to distinguish structural injury from brain-driven symptoms, practical steps to take alongside pain treatment, and his five-step approach to unlearning pain. We also emphasized how trauma, stress, life pressures, and experiences of medical dismissal can shape and amplify chronic pain. For those suffering from chronic pain, having their experience validated and understood – not minimized – can be an important part of healing.

Chronic bloating is one of the most frustrating gut health symptoms—especially when you've already eliminated gluten, dairy, sugar, processed foods, or other suspected triggers and still feel swollen after meals. In this episode of ReversABLE, Josh Dech explores the potential contributors to persistent bloating and why simply removing more foods may not always address the root cause. The conversation examines five food categories discussed in the episode: gluten and refined carbohydrates, dairy, sugar alcohols and artificial sweeteners, ultra-processed "health foods," and highly fermentable foods such as legumes and cruciferous vegetables. The discussion then moves beyond diet into the mechanisms that may contribute to chronic digestive symptoms. These include stomach acid and digestion, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), gut motility, the gut-brain connection, stress, and the relationship between the nervous system and digestive function. A central theme is the idea of looking beyond individual foods toward the broader gut health "terrain"—including the microbiome, digestive function, nutritional status, inflammation, and other factors that may influence how someone responds to food. The episode is particularly relevant for people dealing with ongoing bloating alongside IBS or other chronic digestive complaints who feel as though they've already tried every elimination diet available. Josh also discusses why some foods commonly promoted as healthy can be difficult to tolerate during periods of digestive distress, and why personalized assessment can be more useful than endlessly restricting the diet. Importantly, several physiological and treatment-related claims made in the episode should be interpreted in the context of current medical evidence rather than as universal explanations for bloating. TOPICS DISCUSSED: Five Major Food Categories Associated With Bloating Why Bloating Can Persist After Eliminating Trigger Foods Stomach Acid, Digestion, And Acid-Blocking Medications SIBO And Bacterial Fermentation In The Small Intestine Stress, Vagus Nerve Function, And Gut Motility If you have Crohn's, Colitis or Diverticulitis, be sure to check out my second podcast: Reversing Crohn's and Colitis Naturally.

Taking time off to heal was supposed to be the thing that finally worked. So why do you feel exactly the same, or worse?Here's what nobody tells women with chronic illness who step back from work to recover. Stopping your job is not the same as resting your body. And if you've quietly turned getting better into your new full-time job, complete with targets, a timeline and a daily verdict on whether you're passing or failing, your body is still under pressure. It never actually stopped. This episode is about the emotional patterns underneath that pressure, why it keeps your body locked out of the state it needs to repair, and what real rest actually looks like.In this episode, you'll discover:Why taking time off to heal can make your chronic illness worse instead of betterThe hidden pressure you've been putting on your body since the day you stopped work, or the day you took leaveWhy rest hasn't been working, and what has to shift before your body can actually repairFREE CHATGPT PROMPTClick here to download my FREE ChatGPT prompt that helps connect your real physical symptoms to the emotional patterns that may be underneath them in 30 seconds!For women navigating Chronic Illness, Autoimmune Disease, IBS, Digestive Disorders, Migraines, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Pain, PCOS, and Endometriosis.

You've been told your whole life that your condition is genetic, that it runs in your family, and you're stuck managing it forever, but I'm telling you that with rare exceptions, we don't inherit disease at all.

In this episode of Hope Natural Health, we sit down with John Ossipinsky (known globally as the "Lymph Man"), a certified lymphedema therapist, author, and expert in craniosacral therapy and visceral manipulation. Drawing from his background as an Army medic and NYC firefighter, John shares how a stagnant lymphatic system the body's waste removal network is often the root cause behind chronic fatigue, brain fog, stubborn gut issues, and systemic inflammation. Learn how acidity clogs your lymphatic flow, the newly discovered link between the brain's "glymphatic" system and mental health, and simple daily physical techniques you can start using today to get your body flowing. In this episode, you will learn: How your lymphatic system acts as the body's internal waste disposal and why its clogging leads to anxiety, brain fog, and chronic fatigue. How acidic buildup in the brain blocks your "glymphatic" system and impacts mental health. The surprising way stagnant cellular waste worsens IBS, bloating, and intense menopause symptoms. Quick, simple daily breathing and movement techniques you can do anywhere to instantly boost lymphatic flow. Why balancing body pH and supplementing with magnesium glycinate can reduce systemic inflammation.

Western medicine diagnoses people with autoimmune disease, hypothyroidism, IBS, high cholesterol, stubborn weight, fatigue… And then treats every one of those things like it's an isolated problem. Thyroid low? → Here's thyroid medication. Can't lose weight? → Eat less. Exercise more. Gut symptoms? → Here's another prescription. H. pylori? → Here's an antibiotic. But WHO THE HELL is asking WHY? Have you ever been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease… but nobody investigated WHY your immune system started attacking your own body? Have thyroid problems… but your care stops at checking TSH and adjusting medication? Struggle with stubborn weight despite eating well, exercising and taking all the "right" supplements? Deal with bloating, constipation, fatigue, brain fog, hair loss or inflammation—and get told it's age, hormones or stress? Or maybe your bloodwork keeps coming back "normal"… while you KNOW you don't feel normal? I see it all day, every day, with nearly EVERY patient that comes to us. And here's what I want to know: Why is the immune system dysregulated? Why is the thyroid struggling? Why is the gut inflamed? Why is an infection like H. pylori thriving? What does the microbiome look like? What environmental toxins and exposures could be adding to the burden? Are the liver, kidneys, lymph and bowels adequately supporting elimination? And if a doctor is going to prescribe an antibiotic for something like H. pylori… did anyone even investigate whether that strain carries resistance genes to the drug they're about to prescribe? Now ask yourself the BIG question: Has anyone ever gone looking for what might be underneath your diagnosis?

There's a habit you can't break even though you know it's not good for you, and you've decided that makes you undisciplined. It doesn't…Every behavior you can't seem to quit is serving a hidden purpose, and that purpose is the reason it won't budge. For women with chronic illness, this is one of the emotional patterns shaping whether the body ever gets the conditions it needs to heal, and no protocol is built to find it. In this episode, I walk you through exactly how I'd coach you through breaking one.In this episode, you'll discover:The real reason you reach for your phone, skip the appointment, or push past your limit, and why it was never about willpower or discipline.You'll learn how each of these behaviors is serving a purpose for you.And we'll get into how to uncover that hidden goal and meet the need a different way, one that serves you and your healing instead of working against it.Use my free ChatGPT prompt to identify the emotional patterns that may be connected to your symptoms in under 30 seconds.

It can be easy to overlook the importance of our digestion on our hormonal, menstrual or cyclical health... but actually it is foundational.Literally, the foundations of our organs, tissues and hormones are nourished via our process of digestion, and our "digestive fire" -- referred to as Agni in Ayurveda or Spleen yang in TCM -- is the internal warmth that helps us to actually absorb what we eat.We can eat the most high quality food and supplements, but if we are not absorbing and metabolizing it, what good does that do?According to today's guest, acupuncturist and TCM practitioner Helen Spieth, everything from chewing to how we prepare our food to the time that we eat during the day and our nervous system state all have impact on our digestive fire.She shares all about this, including the various organs involved in digestion, the importance of blood sugar regulation, the 24 hour TCM organ clock, intermittent fasting from a TCM lens, and addressing IBS and SIBO within this TCM nutrition framework and more.It's a packed episode with such depth and breadth.

Hey teacher besties! This week is a big one because Molly is officially, permanently part of the podcast now, so it's me, Gerry, and Molly for the long haul. I catch you all up on the first ever Teacher Talk Sycamore Summit I hosted (mimosas, a rage room dream for next year, and Gaspar Randazzo doing a fully clean set), and then we get into some real teacher talk: professional development horror stories, including Molly's unforgettable superintendent-with-a-50-slide-clip-art-deck story. We also swap first week of school stories, Gerry's "I'm a warden" intimidation tactics, plus Molly's mortifying tale of teaching an entire day with her sleeves completely ripped off and not knowing it. Then things get a little unhinged, because that's just how we do it. I tell you guys about the time I genuinely thought there was a man in a ski mask behind my house (spoiler: I grabbed scissors and did absolutely nothing useful with them), Gerry one-ups me with his own naked-scissors home defense story, and somehow we end up giving out medical advice about colonoscopies and IBS. We close it out with our hills to die on, because apparently off-brand crayons and back-to-school-night-the-night-before-school are both worth fighting for. It's a chaotic one, guys, but I loved it. ORDER MY NEW BOOK (AVAILABLE NOW)!!! — https://bit.ly/49CZ5A0 Takeaways: Molly is officially a permanent co-host on the podcast now, and I could not be more excited about it. Bad professional development, minor disasters, and embarrassing moments genuinely make the best content if you can laugh at yourself. Gerry's classroom management strategy involves a lot of scaring kids and occasionally flipping a desk for emphasis. Real talk: get your colonoscopy, guys, because colon cancer is scary and it's showing up younger than people think. I will always stand firm on my hill that off-brand crayons and colored pencils are simply unacceptable. -- Try the packs that I created at Knoword.com/EducatorAndrea or visit Knoword.com to learn how it fits into your classroom. -- Teachers' night out?

Probiotics, cleanses, leaky gut, worms — science or scam? Jessica Wynn digests the truth about your microbiome this Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1366On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Your gut is a genuine marvel, with 500 million neurons chattering up the vagus nerve to your brain. But "marvel" got rebranded as "malfunction" the second the wellness industry smelled money. The gut-brain axis is real science; the $62 kombucha is not."Scientists discover the sadness bacteria" sells. "We found a correlation we can't explain yet" doesn't. Depressed people do have different gut bacteria — but no one knows which is driving the bus. Correlation isn't causation, a lesson the internet forgets daily.Those "parasites" in cleanse videos are mucus casts — your product coming back out, shaped like worms. "Leaky gut," "mucoid plaque," rope worms: catch-all diagnoses for being alive. The cleanse creates the problem, then sells you the repair kit. Perfect loop.The pitch targets women for a reason: IBS hits them twice as often, and medicine spent decades calling their symptoms "just stress." Wellness says "your doctor won't listen, we will." That distrust is earned — but a real grievance doesn't make the $79 capsules work.The good news is that your microbiome isn't broken, so stop trying to fix it. Eat a wide variety of real, whole and fermented foods, move your body, sleep, manage stress — and take real symptoms to a gastroenterologist, not TikTok. Boring, cheap, and it works.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz returns with a complete guide to constipation, including the symptoms many people overlook even when they are having a bowel movement every day. Dr. B joins Chuck Carroll to explain the different patterns of constipation, including slow transit, pelvic-floor or outlet dysfunction, IBS with constipation, and the surprisingly common problem of a digestive system that has simply fallen out of rhythm. They also discuss the morning habits that may help train your body when to go, foods associated with constipation relief, magnesium and fiber supplements, questions surrounding long-term laxative use, and why a full colon can contribute to bloating, nausea, early fullness, and loss of appetite. Chuck shares his own experience after years of severe constipation and reveals the routine that has helped him become more regular while improving his bloating and appetite.
Real Life Pharmacology - Pharmacology Education for Health Care Professionals
Abdominal cramping and intestinal spasms are common complaints in patients with conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Two of the most frequently prescribed medications for these symptoms are dicyclomine and hyoscyamine. These medications work by blocking muscarinic receptors, reducing smooth muscle contractions in the gastrointestinal tract and helping relieve painful spasms. While these medications can be effective, they are not without risks. Because of their anticholinergic effects, patients may experience dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, dizziness, and urinary retention. Older adults are particularly susceptible to these adverse effects, making careful patient selection and monitoring especially important. Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), glaucoma, or cognitive impairment may be at higher risk for complications. In this episode of the Real Life Pharmacology podcast, we’ll review how dicyclomine and hyoscyamine work, discuss their most common clinical uses, compare their adverse effect profiles, and highlight practical education points to help optimize safe and effective use.

Viagra's Cancer Signal, TV's Toll on Your Brain, Heat and Accelerated Aging, and a New Way to Flush Your Brain Explained Viagra's Active Ingredient May Block Cancer From Spreading A study published in Cancer Research from the Weizmann Institute of Science, in collaboration with Clalit and the U.S. National Cancer Institute, found that sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, may interfere with cancer cells' ability to metastasize by disrupting how they regulate cholesterol, a resource tumors need to detach and invade new tissue. The team combined mouse models and human cell cultures with more than twenty years of medical records covering roughly five million people, and found better survival outcomes among about forty thousand cancer patients who had taken sildenafil before diagnosis. Researchers also flagged a possible combination effect with statins. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why this cheap, off-patent drug class deserves more attention than it's getting, and where it fits alongside his own longevity protocol. Source: https://www.healthline.com/health-news/viagra-may-stop-cancer-from-spreading-study ~~ Heavy TV Watching In Midlife Tied To Alzheimer's-Related Brain Changes A nearly twenty-four-year study published in Alzheimer's & Dementia followed more than 1,700 adults, tracking TV habits in their early fifties and scanning their brains in their mid-seventies. Men who watched more TV showed greater white matter damage and smaller frontal and occipital lobes, while women showed no such association. Critically, people with desk jobs that kept them sedentary all day did not show the same brain changes, and the TV association held even after adjusting for exercise levels. Host Dave Asprey unpacks why passive screen time, not sitting itself, may be the real driver here. Sources: https://www.the-independent.com/life-style/tv-time-linked-alzheimers-study-b3023054.html https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/alz.71582 ~~ Ambient Heat Exposure Linked To Faster Biological Aging A Science Advances study of 3,686 older adults linked neighborhood-level heat index exposure to accelerated biological aging using DNA methylation clocks. Short-term heat exposure moved one clock significantly, while exposure sustained over a full year or six years moved all major clocks, with extreme-caution heat days tied to nearly a three-year jump in one aging measure and a five percent faster overall aging pace on another. Researchers point to inflammation and stress signaling as likely drivers. Host Dave Asprey explains why this is a fundamentally different kind of heat story than the sauna and cold-plunge conversation biohackers are used to. Source: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adr0616 ~~ Industrial Chicken Farming May Be Accelerating The Spread Of Drug-Resistant Bacteria A genomic analysis of nearly 2,800 bacterial samples from chickens and wild birds across thirty countries, published in PNAS and covered by The Guardian, found a roughly hundredfold increase in Campylobacter strain transitions between wild birds and farmed chickens since 1900. Global chicken populations have grown sevenfold since the 1960s to about 27 billion birds, and researchers identified genetic adaptations tied to antimicrobial resistance developing inside that population. Sixty to eighty percent of human Campylobacter infections trace back to raw chicken, with links to post-infectious IBS in some cases. Host Dave Asprey connects the dots between industrial farming density and the gut-health stakes for anyone who eats chicken. Sources: https://www.theguardian.com/food/2026/jul/27/industrial-chicken-farming-accelerating-spread-of-diarrhoea-bacteria-study-finds https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2609969123 ~~ VA Researchers Develop Breathing-Based "Brain Flush" For Parkinson's And Alzheimer's VA researchers led by Dr. Henry Lin found a way to trigger the brain's glymphatic clearance system, normally active during deep sleep, in people who are awake, using alternating puffs of five percent carbon dioxide and room air every thirty-five seconds. In a study of thirty Parkinson's patients and thirty-three healthy controls, a single thirty-minute session produced measurable increases in blood levels of beta-amyloid, alpha-synuclein, and other waste proteins associated with neurodegeneration. The VA's Technology Transfer Program is now developing a patent and prototype device. Host Dave Asprey explains why this gives breathwork protocols a real physiological mechanism instead of just a hunch. Source: https://www.research.va.gov/currents/0426-Exciting-new-treatment-being-developed-for-Parkinsons-Alzheimers.cfm ~~~ This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity enthusiasts, and high-performance listeners who want mechanism-level insights into an overlooked cancer drug repurposing story, the real difference between passive and active screen time, a new angle on heat as a biological stressor, the hidden gut-health cost of industrial poultry farming, and a breathing technique that may unlock your brain's own detox system. Host Dave Asprey connects clinical research, large-scale genomic data, and translational neuroscience into practical frameworks for improving longevity, gut health, and brain performance.
