Based on a popular well known Christmas carol this episode reminds us about prescribing thoughtfully, recognising key red flags, and keeping often-missed diagnoses like bile acid diarrhoea, coeliac disease and liver disease on the radar. The episode also reinforces the importance of early-life microbiome influences and structured differential diagnosis for abdominal symptoms in primary care. Prescribing and de-prescribing • Taper PPIs rather than stopping abruptly to avoid rebound acid hypersecretion, driven by upregulated gastrin during PPI therapy. • Always link NSAID use and H. pylori status to ulcer risk, and remember: gastric ulcers typically cause pain with meals, duodenal ulcers 2–3 hours after eating. Diagnosis, tests and red flags • Use three coeliac test “groups”: serology (tTG/EMA, with total IgA checked), genetics (HLA‑DQ2/DQ8) and duodenal biopsies; ensure patients eat gluten for at least six weeks pre‑testing and to endoscopy. • Actively screen for GI red flags: dysphagia and weight loss (upper GI), PR bleeding and unexplained iron‑deficiency anaemia (lower GI), and escalate for urgent investigation. Practical tools and endoscopy indications • Use the Bristol Stool Chart (types 1–7) routinely in consultations to standardise conversations about stool form and avoid ambiguous “food analogies.” • Remember the three main indications for endoscopy: diagnostic (e.g. dyspepsia, chronic diarrhoea), surveillance (Barrett's, polyp follow‑up) and therapeutic (RFA/EMR in Barrett's, polyp removal). Conditions to consider and not miss • Keep bile acid diarrhoea prominent in the differential for IBS‑D: up to ~40% of IBS‑D patients may have it, particularly with ileal disease/resection, Crohn's, or post‑cholecystectomy. • Maintain a broad GI bleeding differential beyond cancer (e.g. gastritis, peptic ulcer, Mallory–Weiss tear, haemorrhoids/fissures, liver disease/coagulopathy, IBD, angiodysplasia, diverticular disease). Liver disease, microbiome and early life • Remember major causes of liver failure in primary care: excess alcohol, paracetamol overdose, DILI, autoimmune hepatitis, Wilson's disease, haemochromatosis, viral hepatitis B/C and progressive MASLD. • Support breastfeeding where possible to promote a healthy infant microbiome (HMOs favouring bifidobacteria) and recognise how birth mode and early microbes shape immune development and later allergy/immune risk. Structuring abdominal symptom assessment • For undifferentiated abdominal symptoms, consciously work through a core list: IBS, lactose intolerance, coeliac disease, gastroenteritis, SIBO, IBD, diverticular disease, colorectal cancer, peptic ulcer disease, gallstones/biliary colic, pancreatic insufficiency and medication‑related causes (e.g. metformin, NSAIDs, antibiotics). • Use these categories to guide targeted history, examination, basic tests and thresholds for referral back to gastroenterology or specialist services.

Unexplained chronic pain/illness trapping you in ND chaos? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April dives into neuroplastic symptoms—brain-generated conditions from stress/trauma (1 in 6 adults, higher in autism/ADHD)—with Dr. David Clarke, MD (Internal Medicine/Gastroenterology), ATNS President (nonprofit ending pain epidemic), and podcast host "The Story Behind the Symptoms." Treating 7000+ patients, Dr. Clarke's book "They Can't Find Anything Wrong" reveals real symptoms (fibromyalgia/migraines/IBS/long COVID) unresponsive to physical treatments—focus on stress sources for recovery. Key insights: Neuroplastic basics: Brain rewires from stresses (current emotions/childhood adversity/being "different" like ND); no structural cause but real (scans prove circuits change). ND link: Masking/difference adds pressure; symptoms signal distress (e.g., pain only at work triggers). Screening: Free 12-question quiz at symptomatic.me (

Send us a textMetabolic effects of soybean oil and linoleic acid on obesity, fatty liver, and liver function.Topics Discussed:Historical trends in soybean oil use: Consumption increased dramatically since the 1960s due to farming subsidies, now providing over 10% of calories for many Americans, far exceeding the 1-2% required biologically.Soybean oil's effects in mice: Diets with 8-10% linoleic acid cause obesity, fatty liver, and diabetes over weeks, unlike coconut oil diets; effects persist even after diet switch unless combined with fasting.Role of HNF4 protein: This conserved liver transcription factor binds linoleic acid, regulating gene expression for metabolism; variants shift between carbohydrate and fat processing, with imbalances linked to fatty liver and cancer.Oxylipins from linoleic acid: Conversion in liver drives obesity; mice unable to produce them resist weight gain on soybean oil, suggesting these metabolites are key culprits.Vitamin B1 & soybean oil: Diets deplete B1 in liver and blood, contributing to obesity; supplementation with B1 analogs prevents weight gain, unlike beef tallow diets which preserve B1 levels.Gut & microbiome impacts: Soybean oil alters gut bacteria, potentially reducing B1 production and increasing permeability, leading to inflammation; farm animals fed soybean meal pass effects to consumers.Broader health implications: Reanalysis of old human studies questions linoleic acid's heart benefits; focus on reducing processed foods and seed oils, while noting olive oil's advantages from historical contexts.Practical Takeaways:Limit processed foods and seed oils like soybean to reduce linoleic acid intake, aiming for 1-2% of calories; read labels and opt for olive oil or home-cooked meals.Incorporate intermittent fasting, such as 12-16 hours without eating daily, to help reverse obesity effects from high-linoleic diets, based on mouse reversibility studies.Choose grass-fed or naturally fed animal products to avoid indirect soybean oil exposure from feed, potentially preserving nutrient levels like vitamin B1.Monitor diet when traveling or changing habits, as shifts in oil types can affect medication metabolism via liver enzymes.About the guest: Frances Sladek, PhD is a professor whose research focuses on the nuclear receptor HNF4 and the health impacts of dietary fats, particularly soybean oil.*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

In this powerful conversation, Sherry sits down with Josh Dech—holistic nutritionist and gut health specialist—for a deep exploration of joy, inflammation, trauma, nutrition, and the true root causes of chronic disease.What begins as a lighthearted exchange about energy and joy quickly unfolds into one of the most comprehensive, grounded discussions on gut health you'll hear—blending science, clinical experience, and humanity.Joy Is a State, Not a Circumstance Josh opens by sharing why it feels natural for him to say life is “great,” even during stressful seasons. Joy, he explains, is not the absence of hardship—it's a chosen state of being. Happiness may change with circumstances, but joy can exist alongside difficulty. This mindset alone sets the foundation for healing.From Paramedic to Root-Cause Healing Josh shares his journey from paramedic to holistic nutritionist, witnessing firsthand how Western medicine often manages symptoms without restoring health. A pivotal moment came when he worked with a 57-year-old woman on 26 medications who—through lifestyle and nutrition changes—went on to break powerlifting world records. That experience shattered the myth that it's ever “too late” to heal.Inflammation Is Not the Enemy One of the most important reframes of the episode: inflammation is not the problem—it's the signal. It's your body trying to heal. The real question becomes, what is the body responding to? You can't numb pain and expect healing; you must remove the thorn.The Gut Disease Spectrum Josh explains how gut dysfunction exists on a spectrum—from bloating, constipation, and diarrhea to IBS, Crohn's, and colitis. When root causes go unaddressed, irritation can progress into autoimmune disease, leaving many people mislabeled as “genetic” or “incurable.”Why Gut Disease Is Exploding In the last 30 years, gut disease has increased fivefold worldwide. Over 50% of cases are in North America, alongside rising pesticide exposure, ultra-processed foods, chronic stress, trauma, and hustle culture. This is not genetics—it's environment.Trauma, Stress & the Nervous System Josh explains how emotional trauma, grief, chronic stress, and even generational experiences can directly impact gut bacteria, immune response, hormones, and inflammation. Healing must address both biology and lived experience.Functional Medicine vs. Sick Care Western medicine asks, “What's the diagnosis?” Functional medicine asks, “Why did this begin?” Healing requires understanding history, not just assigning labels.Is There a Point of No Return? Josh answers clearly: only if an organ has been removed. Even autoimmune disease is only about 25% genetic. The rest is modifiable. He shares stories of people reversing decades of Crohn's and colitis—becoming symptom-free and medication-free.Nutrition Is Not One-Size-Fits-All Food is a tool, not a religion. Plant-based and animal-based approaches can both be healing depending on context, gut integrity, and nervous system state.How You Eat Matters Digestion begins before the first bite. Eating in stress shuts digestion down. Chewing, slowing down, and eating in safety are foundational to healing.Food Quality & Modern Farming Josh emphasizes prioritizing food quality, reducing pesticide exposure, and choosing real food over convenience.Hormones Are Downstream Hormonal imbalances are symptoms—not root causes. Address inflammation, gut health, and stress, and hormones often regulate naturally.Listen to more episodes at makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcast, and YouTube.Listen to more episodes at www.makepeacewithfood.com/podcast or subscribe to me on Spotify, Podcast, and YouTube so you never miss an episode!Join my Facebook Community: www.myfoodfreedomlifestyle.com Work with me: www.sherryshaban.com/transform Go deeper: www.makepeacewithfood.com Share your biggest takeaway and tag me on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn

A transição será gradual, mas 2026 marca o início de um novo sistema, com a promessa de mais transparência, justiça fiscal e menos burocracia.  No Debate desta quinta-feira (18), a comunicadora Natalia Ribeiro fala com os nossos convidados sobre as novas regras e o impacto na vida dos brasileiros. Participam o advogado especialista em direito empresarial André Bezerra Meireles, a pós-doutora em direito tributário e presidente do Centro Nacional para a Prevenção e Resolução de Conflitos Tributários (Cenapret), Mary Elbe Queiroz, e o economista e especialista em gestão pública Werson Kaval.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Maggie Frank, the national educator for CV Sciences, makers of PlusCBD Oil.

Exploring the Benefits and Science of CBD and Canna Mimetics with Expert Maggie Frank, the national educator for CV Sciences, makers of PlusCBD Oil. She has a deep-dive into the latest updates on CBD (cannabidiol) products, their benefits, and distinctions from THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Frank explains the endocannabinoid system and how phytocannabinoids like CBD can help achieve homeostasis in the body, aiding in stress management, inflammation, and gut health. They discuss the nuances of different cannabis plants, the current landscape of CBD research, and the misconceptions around THC use. Additionally, Maggie introduces some innovative CV Sciences products, including those that do not contain CBD but offer similar benefits through canna mimetics—natural compounds that mimic the effects of cannabinoids. Among these products are a focus-enhancing gummy and a metabolic support formulation called ReShape. They also touch upon upcoming legislation and how it impacts the hemp industry. The discussion highlights the broad-spectrum potential of CBD and related compounds in promoting overall health and addressing various conditions.

Send us a textWhat does great IBD care look like when the system won't make it easy? We sit down with Dr. Adam Ehrlich, Section Chief of Gastroenterology at Temple Health and GI fellowship program director, to explore how he builds patient-centered care in an underserved setting—where insurance denials, missing records, and real-life logistics collide with complex disease.We talk about health literacy, trust, and the conversations that actually change outcomes. Adam explains how he frames risks and benefits with clarity, why the “risks of doing nothing” deserve equal airtime, and how he balances mode of therapy—IV, subcutaneous, or oral—against lifestyle, trauma history, pregnancy plans, and coverage rules. We dig into prison medicine's constraints, from medication access to policy barriers around scheduling, and the creative problem-solving required to keep patients safe and informed. He shares why being honest about uncertainty builds credibility, and how an early investment in patient education pays off with better monitoring and shared targets for remission.The episode also gets practical about personalization. We discuss drug levels with infliximab when severe colitis “loses” medication into the stool, when it's wise to de-escalate dosing, and how habits from flare days can persist after inflammation settles. Adam offers tools to retrain routines, navigate IBS overlap, and align care with quality of life goals like driving, work travel, and showing up at a kid's soccer game without anxiety. As a fellowship director, he reveals how he equips new gastroenterologists to handle today's broader therapy menu, think beyond flowcharts, and advocate through insurance barriers with persistence and purpose.If this conversation resonates, tap follow, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a quick review.

In part two of my conversation with Harvey Fortis – nutritionist, researcher, and performance specialist working with INEOS Cycling – we move from theory into practical action. Harvey and I dig into the specific foods, habits, and daily choices that nourish the microbiome and help it thrive. We talk about fibre, fermented foods, stress, sleep, pre- and probiotics, the Mediterranean diet, and how simple, consistent choices can transform gut health for athletes and everyday individuals alike.   Key Topics Why variety in your diet is key to microbial diversity Fibre vs fermented foods – understanding their different roles How to audit your current diet and identify triggers The truth about IBS, intolerances, and exclusion diets Prebiotics vs probiotics vs symbiotics – what they actually do How stress, sleep, and lifestyle shape gut balance as much as food does The Mediterranean diet as a model for long-term gut health Key Quote ( 01:27:58 ) “Every meal needs to feed you – and your microbes.

From the viral moment on The Traitors to the biology of the "silent but deadly," this episode is an unashamed deep dive into flatulence. Drs Siobhan and Sheena are joined by Julie Thompson, Lead Dietitian at Guts UK Charity, to break the stigma around passing wind. We discuss what normal gas looks like, why fiber makes us farty (and why that's a good thing!), and the truth about the Low FODMAP diet for IBS sufferers. Plus, we answer the important questions: Do spiders fart? And do charcoal underpants actually work?Featured Guest:Julie Thompson is a Gastroenterology Specialist Dietitian with over 16 years of experience supporting people with digestive diseases. She has a particular interest in disorders of gut-brain interaction, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).A leading voice in her field, Julie contributed to the British Dietetic Association's (BDA) dietary guidelines for IBS and has delivered the BDA's Low FODMAP diet training to dietitians across the UK.

Do you feel like your belly fat has a mind of its own no matter how clean you eat or how much you exercise? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Cassie Smith, a former endocrinologist turned functional medicine expert, to uncover the surprising link between inflammation, insulin resistance, and stubborn abdominal fat especially for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and midlife metabolism changes. We explore how chronic stress, poor sleep, gut inflammation, and cortisol work together to slow your metabolism, drive weight gain, and trigger that frustrating feeling of being "stuck." You'll learn why checking fasting insulin is one of the most overlooked keys to understanding your energy, belly fat, and hormone balance, and how gut health plays a hidden but massive role in fat storage and inflammation. What You'll Learn in This Episode • The real reason you're gaining weight around your midsection—and it's not just about calories or willpower. • Why high insulin levels can silently drive inflammation, fatigue, and hormone imbalance even when your glucose looks normal. • How gut inflammation and leaky gut can make your body more insulin-resistant and prone to belly fat. • Simple, free ways to lower inflammation, reset your metabolism, and finally lose weight where it won't budge. If you've been doing "everything right" but still battling belly fat, fatigue, and bloating, it's not your fault. The missing piece is understanding how your hormones, gut, and metabolism interact through insulin and inflammation. This conversation gives you the insight to finally work with your body—not against it—to restore balance, energy, and metabolic health.

She shares how she evaluates patients, why excision surgery is considered the gold standard, and how she combines surgery with pelvic floor physical therapy, gut work, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to help patients truly heal.Also discussed:The red flags that period pain that starts interfering with school, sports, and social life is not normal.How endometriosis can show up years before a teen ever gets her first period.Why birth control can help symptoms but acts as a Band-Aid, not a cure, and doesn't stop disease progression.How endometriosis is linked to infertility, and why diagnosing and treating it early matters.Practical next steps for parents: when to suspect endo, how to talk to your pediatrician or OB-GYN, and what kind of specialist to look for.This episode is meant to give parents a clearer sense of when to worry, when to push for more answers, and how to support teens who might be living with endometriosis.Connect with Dr. Iris Kerin OrbuchWebsite: https://www.lagyndr.comIris Wings – Sanctuary for Endometriosis Surgery & Wellness 9001 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 207Beverly Hills, CA 90211 Phone: (310) 651-7333 Follow her on Instagram:@dririskerinorbuch@iriswings Buy her Book: Beating Endo: How to Reclaim Your Life from EndometriosisYour Child is Normal is the trusted podcast for parents, pediatricians, and child health experts who want smart, nuanced conversations about raising healthy, resilient kids.

In Part 1, we uncovered the surprising physical symptoms of trauma that often go unnoticed — the jaw tension, the tinnitus, the eye twitching, the constant bracing your body learned to do in order to survive covert narcissistic abuse. In Part 2, we continue that conversation by focusing on three symptoms that confuse survivors the most: chest tightness — that “heart armor” feeling that makes it hard to breathe digestive issues — nausea, bloating, IBS patterns, or a stomach that shuts down under stress sleep disturbances — difficulty falling asleep, nighttime hyperarousal, and waking in panic These symptoms are some of the most deeply misunderstood — and often dismissed by medical providers who see “normal” test results but don't understand trauma physiology. This episode breaks down why these symptoms happen, what your nervous system is trying to communicate through them, and how these reactions form in unsafe emotional environments. We'll also explore the deeper theme underlying it all:Your body communicates through discomfort.Just like hunger isn't a malfunction, your trauma symptoms aren't malfunctions either — they are messages. Part 2 gives clarity, validation, and the beginning steps for understanding what your body has been trying to tell you for years.

Most women think their bloating, IBS, reflux, and sugar cravings are about food

In the first of a 2 part series, I'm joined by Harvey Fortis, a performance nutritionist and researcher completing his PhD at Liverpool John Moores University, where he studies gut and metabolic responses in endurance athletes. Harvey also works with INEOS Cycling and Total Endurance Nutrition, so he sees first-hand how gut health can make or break performance. We start by laying the foundations of what the gut microbiome actually is, but quickly move into why it matters in everyday life. We explore how gut health influences sleep, stress, immunity, inflammation, mood, and even how well you tolerate training and racing. If you've ever struggled with poor sleep, anxiety, IBS, repeated illness, or unexplained fatigue, this episode will help you understand why the gut is often the missing piece. What We Cover What the microbiome is and why it behaves like a “city within” Why gut health starts before birth and stabilises early in life How gut imbalance can disrupt sleep and keep the nervous system switched on The gut–brain axis and why 80% of signals travel from gut to brain How chronic low-grade inflammation starts in the gut Why frequent illness and poor recovery often point to gut health issues The link between gut health and skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis Why many performance problems aren't training issues at all, but gut issues Key Quote ( 00:09:59 ) “We host around 30 to 40 trillion bacterial cells – roughly as many as your own human cells – and they all work together like a thriving city inside you.” – Harvey Fortis   Key Message Your gut is more than a digestive system – it's a living ecosystem that drives energy, recovery, mood, and resilience.

"If you give nature—within your own body—the right preconditions, it finds a way to thrive." — Jordan Perry In this episode, KO sits down with Jordan Perry, founder of Repose Health, a groundbreaking, integrative therapy designed to heal the gut at the root cause — not just manage symptoms. From navigating seven years of chronic illness to building a science-backed system that has helped people with IBS, Crohn's, eczema, chronic fatigue, food sensitivities, UTIs, and more, Jordan shares the full origin story behind his innovative approach. We dive into: The real role of the gut microbiome in immune health, mental clarity & inflammation Why gut issues often show up only after deeper dysfunction has already begun How the Repose system combines prebiotics, probiotics, spore-based biotics, gut-lining repair, suppository therapy, hydration, self-massage, and breathwork to create whole-system healing Why suppository-based therapy is common internationally — and why the U.S. is late to the conversation How breathwork and somatic regulation support digestive healing and nervous-system balance Why your gut may actually be your first brain — not your second What the future of personalized gut health, microbiome testing & metabolite-driven solutions looks like Jordan is currently piloting clinical programs and connecting directly with people searching for answers after years of feeling dismissed by traditional healthcare.

Could a common gene variant be quietly clogging the system for you or your child? In this episode of Complicated Kids, I sit down with holistic academic coach Elyse Dworin to talk about the MTHFR gene—what it is, what it does, and why it matters for neurodivergent kids and their parents. Elyse explains, in plain language, how this gene helps the body process folate, manage toxins, and regulate inflammation—and what can happen when a mutation plus a modern "enriched" diet start to overload the system. We get into her personal story of brain fog, gut issues, anxiety, and years of "IBS" labels before testing finally revealed toxic levels of heavy metals, sky-high folic acid, and an MTHFR mutation. From there, we talk about what families can actually do: shifting away from processed and fortified foods, choosing methylated vitamins, supporting detox with a knowledgeable provider, and paying attention to how our bodies respond. We also zoom out to the bigger picture—how food, sleep, movement, medications, environment, and nervous system sensitivity all weave together. And because this is Complicated Kids, we talk about what this looks like in real life with real kids: the Halloween candy, the Goldfish, the push-pull of autonomy, and how to work toward balance without turning food into a power struggle. Key Takeaways: The MTHFR gene is involved in repairing DNA, managing homocysteine, recycling antioxidants, and helping the body process toxins and allergens. There are common MTHFR variants; when present, especially alongside high folic acid intake, they can contribute to issues like brain fog, anxiety, ADHD-like symptoms, and mood challenges. Folic acid (synthetic) is not the same as folate (naturally found in leafy greens), and people with MTHFR mutations may not process folic acid well. "Enriched" or "fortified" on ingredient labels usually means folic acid has been added—common in many flours, cereals, and boxed foods. Over time, unprocessed folic acid and toxins can "clog the drain," leading to overload in the system rather than smooth detox and regulation. Testing with a holistic or functional provider can help identify MTHFR mutations, heavy metal loads, and vitamin/mineral imbalances. Detox protocols should always be done under medical supervision, because releasing too many stored toxins at once can overwhelm the body. Practical support often includes shifting toward whole foods, adding leafy greens, and using methylated B vitamins instead of standard multivitamins. Behavior is communication—sometimes emotional, sometimes physical—and can be a clue that something in the body isn't working well. With kids, especially tweens and teens, education, moderation, and collaboration usually work better than restriction and force when it comes to food. Learning to tune into your own body (and helping kids tune into theirs) is a powerful lifelong skill that supports focus, mood, and resilience.

In this episode, I sit down with Australian nutritionist and gut-health expert Angela Genoni to unpack the most misunderstood areas of digestive health. We cover the gut symptoms people ignore, why the carnivore diet can appear to “work,” where supplements fit in, and whether fruit sugar is something to worry about. Angela also explains what your daily bowel movements can reveal about your health, the biggest sources of misinformation online—especially in women's health—and the simple daily habits anyone can start today to rebuild a healthier gut. Angela's Links:WebsiteThreads Leo's Links:

The holiday season can be especially challenging for those who've experienced betrayal. This episode explores how coaches and practitioners can help clients navigate the pain that surfaces during this time and introduces the strategic framework of the five stages from betrayal to breakthrough.  Key Topics Covered  The Holiday Challenge  The holidays bring up complex emotions for those who've been betrayed:  Memories of past celebrations become painful  Questions arise about what the betrayer was thinking during previous happy moments  The season amplifies unresolved trauma  How Unhealed Betrayal Shows Up  Betrayal affects clients across all coaching specialties:  Health Coaches: Clients may struggle with emotional eating, binging, or sabotaging healthy protocols due to underlying betrayal trauma.  Digestive Health Practitioners: 45% of betrayed individuals develop gut issues (Crohn's, IBS, diverticulitis, constipation, diarrhea). Even excellent protocols may fail without addressing the root betrayal.  Business Coaches: Clients may sabotage success, struggle with confidence, avoid promoting themselves, or have difficulty delegating due to shattered trust.  Life Coaches: Clients appear stuck, unable to find clarity or purpose because they're trapped in betrayal trauma.  The Five Stages Framework  Understanding where clients are stuck is crucial:  Stage 2: Nervous system dysregulation prevents clients from hearing suggestions  Stage 3: The most common stuck point where clients settle for "solid ground" rather than pursuing growth  Stages 4 & 5: Where transformation happens—new health levels, passion projects, businesses, and relationships become possible  Signs Your Protocols Aren't Working  Client demonstrates patterns of self-sabotage  Excellent strategies fail to produce results  Client seems unable to move forward despite wanting to  Symptoms persist despite proper treatment  The Transformation Process  When betrayal is addressed:  Health protocols begin working effectively  Confidence returns for business pursuits  Trust rebuilds systematically  Physical symptoms of Post Betrayal Syndrome disappear  Clients look years younger as chronic stress reduces  Common Pitfalls to Avoid  Therapy Without Betrayal Expertise: Well-meaning therapists may keep clients feeling heard but stuck in Stage 3  Couples Counseling Issues: Often minimizes betrayal, lacks accountability, and frustrates the betrayed partner  Support Groups: Can inadvertently encourage people to sabotage healing to maintain their community  Numbing Behaviors: Medication, substances, work, or scrolling prevent actual healing  Why People Stay Stuck  Fear of outgrowing their support system  Fear of outgrowing their betrayer  Settling seems safer than risking more pain  Not knowing there's a roadmap forward  The Power of PBT Coaching  Certified coaches use the five-stage roadmap while bringing their unique strengths:  Some work with couples, others with individuals  Specializations include military families, faith-based approaches, empaths, men, women  All share the strategic framework while applying personal gifts  Results of Moving Through the Stages  New levels of physical health and vitality  Transformed or new relationships  Passion projects and new businesses  Access to opportunities not visible while stuck  Deep sense of fulfillment and purpose  Upcoming Opportunity  Free Masterclass: Becoming a Certified PBT Coach or Practitioner  Date: December 11 at 11am Pacific  For: Coaches, practitioners, HR professionals, therapists, doctors, counselors  Special Offer: Holiday bonus gifts available (details revealed in masterclass)  Register: ThePBTinstitute.com/certification-masterclass  Note: Replay available to all registrants  Key Takeaway  Whether you're struggling with betrayal during the holidays or you're a professional who wants to help others heal, there's a proven roadmap that shortens years of pain. The goal isn't just to return to the old life—it's to create something richer, healthier, and more fulfilling.    "The more coaches certified with their own spin, talents, and strengths, the more people get the help they need to move through something they never saw coming."

In this episode of Longevity by Design, host Dr. Gil Blander sits down with Dr. Emeran Mayer, Executive Director at the UCLA Center for Neurobiology of Stress and Resilience and founder of Mayer Interconnected. They explore the science behind the gut-brain connection and its role in shaping health and longevity.Emeran explains how signals flow between the brain, gut, and microbiome, influencing everything from digestion to emotions. He breaks down how modern diets, especially ultra-processed foods, disrupt the natural balance between humans and gut microbes—a relationship refined over thousands of years. The conversation highlights why early life exposure to antibiotics can have lasting effects on microbiome resilience, and how lifestyle choices like diet and exercise remain powerful tools for supporting gut-brain health at any age.The discussion closes with a look toward the future of gut-brain science, including engineered probiotics and the promise of more targeted therapies. Emeran shares practical habits for better gut-brain health and cautions against quick-fix “biohacking,” encouraging a return to whole foods, movement, and mindful living.Guest-at-a-Glance

Ever been told your labs are "normal," but you're still dealing with crushing fatigue, brain fog, weird digestive issues, or stubborn weight loss resistance—and secretly wondered if it's all in your head? In this episode, I unpack why that experience is heartbreakingly common for women and how a system built on male bodies has failed to truly understand female hormone balance, metabolism, and gut health. I share how, for most of medical history, women were treated as "small men" in research. Drug trials, diagnostic criteria, and lab ranges were based on male physiology, while our cycles, hormones, and unique digestive health patterns were labeled "too variable." That gap is still affecting you today—whether you're in perimenopause, struggling with IBS and bloating, or dragging yourself through the day with low energy and brain fog. Key Points in This Episode • How women were systematically excluded from research—and what that means for your labs, medications, and "normal" ranges when you don't feel normal at all. • The lingering legacy of "hysteria" and why women's symptoms—fatigue, pain, gut issues, anxiety—still get dismissed, minimized, or blamed on stress. • What actually happens in your brain, nervous system, hormones, and gut when you're not believed, and how that can worsen IBS, inflammation, and metabolic symptoms. • Seven practical practices to reclaim your voice in the medical system—how to document patterns, ask better questions, use stronger language, and keep going until you find someone who listens. This conversation is about giving you context for why you've felt dismissed—and tools so you stop doubting yourself. If you're tired of being told "everything looks fine" while your energy, hormone balance, gut health, and metabolism clearly say otherwise, this episode will help you see that your body isn't the problem. Hit play and let's start changing how you show up for your health. Stop wasting time (and money) on products that don't work.
