After years of being dismissed by doctors, Alison discovered the power of nutrition, root-cause healing, and nervous system support.

In this episode, I sit down with the incredibly insightful Rosa Santiago Zimmerman for a rich and wide-ranging conversation about the state of the interior design industry, the evolving nature of creative work, and the deeper values that guide us as professionals. Our dialogue spans everything from our recent experiences at major trade shows like KBIS and IBS to the strategic and emotional challenges that come with building and sustaining a design business today. Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise. Design Hardware - A stunning and vast collection of jewelry for the home!  - Where service meets excellence TimberTech - Real wood beauty without the upkeep Rosa shares how she has navigated an often unpredictable industry landscape—from the 2008 financial crisis to the more recent impact of COVID-19—emerging stronger by focusing on clarity in communication, refining her client base, and anchoring her business in authenticity and trust. We explore her decision to operate by referral only, a bold move that allows her to take on projects that align deeply with her values while maintaining creative control and long-term vision. One of the most resonant parts of our conversation is Rosa's approach to client relationships and project storytelling. She believes that every project begins with truly understanding the people behind it—their story, lifestyle, and what brings them joy. Her philosophy goes far beyond aesthetics; it's about designing spaces that are meaningful, personal, and connected. We also dive into the practical but often overlooked aspects of the business: the need for strong contracts, the complexity of product sourcing in a globalized market, and the legal risks surrounding intellectual property. Rosa doesn't shy away from hard truths. She emphasizes that every line of a contract must be intentional, and every expectation clearly defined to avoid the kinds of misunderstandings that can derail even the most promising projects. I couldn't agree more. As we both acknowledged, there's a growing need in our industry to better educate clients—especially those new to working with designers—so they can become thoughtful, empowered partners in the creative process. Our talk also turns toward education, mentorship, and the next generation of talent. Rosa speaks passionately about the importance of showing children—and especially young Latinas—that the design industry can be a space for them. Her journey from a background in medicine to a thriving creative career is a powerful reminder that following one's passion is not only possible, but necessary. We discuss the lack of business training in design schools, and how that gap often leaves talented creatives unprepared for the realities of entrepreneurship. Rosa's upcoming book, which touches on the idea of discovering one's “superpower,” promises to be an inspiring resource for aspiring designers and leaders alike. Throughout our conversation, I was struck by Rosa's clarity, generosity, and refusal to compromise on what matters. We also talk about future collaborations and visits—from potentially recording a future episode in Atlanta to attending next year's KBIS event in Orlando. I'm hopeful for the opportunities ahead and grateful for the chance to share this honest, inspiring exchange. This episode is for anyone who's passionate about design, business, and the human stories that fuel creativity. Whether you're a seasoned professional, a student, or just curious about what it takes to build something meaningful in a fast-changing world, I think you'll find a lot to take away from this one. And we'll get to it, right after this. Thank you, Rosa, loved our chat and grateful to have run into you at KBIS! And, of course, thank you to our amazing partners: TimberTech, Pacific Sales, and Design Hardware. These are incredible companies and true friends of the trade.

It wasn't until she underwent excision surgery with a true endometriosis specialist that the truth was revealed: 73 lesions removed from her bladder, uterus, colon, rectum, appendix, and two endometriomas—one larger than her uterus.Nicole founded Endo Excision For All: a nonprofit fighting for access to gold-standard care, especially for those failed by the system. In a world where excision surgery still isn't properly covered by insurance, Nicole is leading the charge for change so others won't have to suffer the way she did.Follow Nicole's work and advocacy:

​​If your energy is constantly drained, the scale won't budge no matter what you try, or your gut feels like it's staging a daily rebellion—your hormones could be the hidden culprit. In this episode, I sit down with functional medicine expert Dr. Betty Murray to unpack how perimenopause, hormone metabolism, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) play a much bigger role in our health than most of us are told. We get into the real reasons behind chronic fatigue, weight loss resistance, bloating, brain fog, and IBS—and why typical lab tests are missing the mark. This conversation is your backstage pass into what's really going on with your metabolism, your mood, and your midsection—and what to do when “normal” labs still leave you feeling off. What You'll Hear in This Episode: • Why perimenopause symptoms can start up to a decade before menopause—and the subtle hormone shift that might explain your energy crashes • The shocking truth about estrogen and breast cancer risk (spoiler: the data may surprise you) • The real reason your hormones might not be working—even if you're on HRT • How hormone metabolism and detoxification are key to healing gut health and resolving symptoms like bloating and IBS Here's Why You'll Want to Hit Play: Most women are only testing their estradiol levels—and missing the bigger picture. In this conversation, Dr. Murray shares why hormone replacement isn't just about putting hormones in… it's about how your body clears them. She also reveals how factors like gut health, inflammation, and adrenal fatigue influence your entire hormone pathway. We talk about the HPATG axis, how cortisol and stress impact your cycle, and why symptoms like constipation, leaky gut, and low progesterone are often overlooked. Plus, we break down the Dutch test, estrogen dominance, and how the right hormone therapy could transform your energy, cognitive health, and even protect your bones. If you're dealing with: Daily fatigue that coffee can't fix Unexplained weight gain and belly fat Bloating, gas, or IBS symptoms that won't go away Brain fog and memory issues that scare you Mood swings, sleep struggles, or crashing energy... ...this episode will give you the “why” behind it all—so you can finally take the right next step.

In this insightful episode of Gut Story, Dr. Vignesh Devraj explains how modern diseases like diabetes, fatty liver, and hormonal imbalances are rooted in overconsumption, not malnourishment. Ayurveda classifies diseases into two types — those from deficiency (Apatharpana) and those from excess (Santharpana). With the world now facing abundance-related illnesses, Panchakarma becomes a vital therapy for detoxification.Dr. Vignesh breaks down the five Panchakarma therapies:Nasya – Nasal detox for sinus and mucus-related issues.Vamana – Therapeutic vomiting for Kapha imbalance and respiratory problems.Virechana – Purgation to cleanse the intestines and reduce Pitta-related disorders.Basti – Medicated enemas to nourish and cleanse the colon, ideal for Vata imbalances.Raktamokshana – Bloodletting for detoxing inflammatory markers and skin issues.He warns against DIY detox trends like unsupervised enemas, which can harm gut health and increase Vata imbalance. Panchakarma, when done correctly under supervision, can improve conditions such as PCOS, arthritis, IBS, migraines, asthma, and even fertility issues.The discussion emphasizes that health is a lifestyle, not a one-time treatment. Panchakarma acts as a reset button—helping individuals reconnect with their bodies, improve discipline, and build long-term well-being. Mental health, food habits, and physical activity all play critical roles in maintaining balance.

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

In this episode of Medicine Grand Rounders, we're joined by Dr. Bret Lashner, director of the Center for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), who explores the fundamentals of IBD, including diagnostic nuances and treatment strategies. Moderated by: Anthony Gallo.

In this podcast, Emma Sutherland is joined by psychophysiologist and Monash University researcher Dr Simone Peters - one of the world's leading experts in gut-directed hypnotherapy - to explore the rise of this behavioural therapy as a first-line treatment for IBS and other gut disorders. From her landmark randomised controlled trial (RCT) comparing hypnotherapy to the low fermentable, oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAP) diet, to the development of the Nerva app, Simone presents compelling data on how this therapy works, with 75–80% of patients responding within six weeks. The recommendation to use gut-directed hypnotherapy for IBS now forms international treatment guidelines and this episode empowers practitioners to integrate mind-body approaches into clinical care for IBS and beyond. Covered in this episode: (01:04) Welcome Simone Peters (06:04) Hypnotherapy and gut conditions (08:04) Nerva app (13:36) Patient experience (17:35) IBS, males vs females (20:00) Drivers behind IBS (22:38) Psychogastroenterology (25:53) Research in gut-directed hypnotherapy (29:44) Dr Peters research (36:50) Who is it for?

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Trish: Hi Dr. Cabral - I'm a 55-year-old female working on lowering overall inflammation in my body. My CRP levels are (4.1), ApoB (118 nmol/L and Lipoprotein (A) (281 nmol/L) as you can see are high. Total Cholesterol 221 and Triglycerides are 70. I have a lot of stiffness with joint discomfort. I started taking 2 Proteolytic Enzymes upon waking. Then your DNS, D3/k2, Cell Boost, Inflamma Soothe, Collagen with GLP Tone System and some of your other products (eye and hair). I follow your Med diet. My pain and stiffness have improved ALOT in a matter of days. I'm going to retest my CRP and chol levels in 4 months. My question is how long can I take Proteolytic Enzymes and in your opinion am I taking the proper protocol for these issues? I'm retesting in 4 mos. Thank you in advance          Sheena: Hi Dr Cabral! Hope you and all of your health family are well. I'm a surgical Processor and on my feet all day. I've tried all kinds of compression socks but by the end of the day, after taking it off, my leg are soo itchy! I scratch it sometimes so bad it starts to bleed. I'm only wearing the average 15-20 mmHG so its not too tight. I'm curious if you have a recommendation for compression socks that wont causes itching but is effective? Thanks in advance for answering!      Christina: Stephen, I have listened on one of your podcasts about Rheumatoid Arthritis and detoxing. My mother is in her early 70s and her fingers are twisting. I am 48 and recently the base of my thumbs have started bothering me. My question is, what detox protocol should my mother start with to prevent further twisting of her fingers and what detox protocol should I do to prevent this from happening to me? I would love to do the heavy metals and organic acid tests, but unfortunately I live in NY. Would my functional medicine doctor be able to order them for me? I have had HELLP, HUS, DIC, Guillian Barre, and Pulminary Edema in my pregnancy at 21. My son was delivered with no issues! At this time, we learned that I have ITTP. I have had IBS issues. Thank you, Christina                      Ryan: Hi dr cabral, Im a 29 year old male who has addisons disease, chronic post nasal drip, food intolerance's and teeth grinding a stool test confirmed klebsiella pneumonie overgrowth and blastocystis hominis as well as some yeast and fungus with no Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus detected, I recently started the cbo protocol with citricidal drops im 7 days in untill i came across one of your videos where you mentioned you should go for the parasite first should i stop the cbo protocol and start the para support protocol and then continue the cbo after or just continue the cbo protocol Thank you for your time wishing you all the best ryan.                                                                                                                                     Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral, I I love your podcasts and look forward to them every week. Anyway, I was wondering if you could please explain how a traumatic event could spur the onset of a "dis-ease" such as asthma. My daughter's asthma began shortly after her father and I were separated and he moved out of state. According to her pediatrician at the time, she was "more prone to having asthma because she also had eczema." This was 2 decades ago, and now she's 31 and we know more about autoimmune issues. Although she continues to carry an inhaler with her, she hardly needs to use it anymore. What would you recommend for a more root cause approach to someone with her condition? Thank you.                                  Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3466 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

In this encore episode, we detail overlap among intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO), hydrogen-dominant small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (H₂-SIBO), and hydrogen sulfide-dominant SIBO (H₂S-SIBO), discussing their mechanistic interactions. We discuss methanogenic archaea, as well hydrogen sulfide- and hydrogen-producing microbes and their contributions to altered gastrointestinal motility, epithelial barrier function, and neuromuscular signaling. We detail host endogenous defense mechanisms, including gastric acid secretion, pancreatic enzymatic activity, bile flow, intestinal motility, and more.Topics:1. Introduction- Overview of intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO), hydrogen sulfide-dominant SIBO, and hydrogen-dominant SIBO  - Discussion of overlap  2. Intestinal Methanogen Overgrowth (IMO)- Characterized by an overabundance of methane-producing archaea  - Methane and intestinal transit- Bloating, abdominal discomfort, constipation  - Associated with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C)   3. Overlap Between IMO and SIBO Subtypes- Hydrogen as a substrate for methane and/or hydrogen sulfide production- Shared potential root causes 4. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and Protective Mechanisms- The small intestine remains relatively free of bacteria due to protective mechanisms  - Gastric acid secretion - Pancreatic enzymes and bile - Intestinal motility- Structural abnormalities 5. Hydrogen-Dominant SIBO - Increased hydrogen and intestinal transit- Potential symptoms, diarrhea, postprandial bloating  - Different forms of SIBO can coexist  6. Hydrogen Sulfide-Dominant SIBO - H₂S and intestinal motility- H₂S and intestinal epithelial integrity- Symptoms, associations with IBS diarrhea    7. Host Defense Mechanisms Regulating Microbial Balance- Gastric acid secretion, pancreatic enzyme activity, bile flow, intestinal motility, and more 8. Gastric Acid and Its Role in Microbial Regulation- Parietal cells secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor  - Chief cells secrete pepsinogen, conversion into pepsin in acidic conditions  - Gastric acid, digestion and antimicrobial defense   9. Hypochlorhydria - Low gastric acid impairs microbial defense- Reduced acidity disrupts digestion and downstream pancreatic enzyme and bile release   10. Pancreatic Enzymes and Their Role in Microbial Regulation- Pancreatic enzymes, digestion, antimicrobial activity - Enzymes modify chyme to limit fermentable substrates that fuel microbial proliferation   11. Intestinal Motility - Coordinated contractions propel food, microbes, and waste through the GI tract  - The enteric nervous system (ENS) and gut motility- The myenteric plexus controls peristalsis, while the submucosal plexus regulates secretion and absorption   12. Conclusion- Intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO), hydrogen-dominant SIBO, and hydrogen sulfide-dominant SIBO - Overlap in symptoms and microbial interactions  - Host defense mechanisms, including gastric acid, pancreatic enzymes, and motility  - Intestinal motility and ENS function in microbial homeostasis  - Hydrogen sulfide as a gasotransmitterGet Chloe's Book Today!

Dr. Mark Pimentel, Executive Director of the MAST program at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, shares groundbreaking insights into the small intestinal microbiome that challenge long-held beliefs about gut bacteria. Findings from his team's REIMAGINE study reveal that the small intestine is far from sterile, as previously thought—instead, it harbors substantial bacterial communities that play a critical role in health and disease, especially in conditions such as IBS and SIBO.• E. coli and Klebsiella act as aggressive "Ferrari" bacteria that outcompete other microbes and destroy microbial diversity when overgrown inducing a "apocalyptic" disruption of the small bowel microbiome.• Lactobacillus, commonly found in many probiotics, may act as a disruptor in the small intestine and new research correlates higher small intestinal levels with obesity and unhealthy aging (more research needed)• The PLACIDE trial found probiotics didn't reduce C. diff or antibiotic-associated diarrhea but did increase bloating• Food poisoning is the only proven cause-and-effect trigger for IBS, with stress acting as a modifier rather than initiator• Combining rifaximin with NAC works 10x better for SIBO by targeting bacteria in both intestinal fluid and mucus• A new compound (CS06) shows promise for reducing methane production and relieving constipation• Three distinct gas patterns (hydrogen, methane, hydrogen sulfide) correlate with different symptom patterns and respond to targeted treatmentsThis episode was sponsored by Salix Pharmaceuticals. Resources: DDW 2025 Abstracts by the Mast Program and Dr. PimentelA Novel Microbiome Therapy, CS-06 (MTD Blocker), Reduces Methane Production in Stool CultureReal World Study of Three-Gas Breath Testing Nationwide and The Association with SymptomsLearn more about Kate and Dr. Riehl:Website: www.katescarlata.com and www.drriehl.comInstagram: @katescarlata @drriehl and @theguthealthpodcastOrder Kate and Dr. Riehl's book, Mind Your Gut: The Science-Based, Whole-body Guide to Living Well with IBS.

This week, I'm talking with Stefanie Adler, a functional diagnostic nutritionist who transformed her own childhood of chronic digestive issues into a mission to help families heal through food.   After being told at age 12 that she'd have to live with IBS forever, Stefanie changed her diet against medical advice and watched symptoms she'd had for 13 years disappear within months. Now she helps parents decode their children's symptoms by addressing root causes rather than masking problems.   Join us today as Stefanie shares practical strategies for building your child's immune system through protective foods, simple swaps for common household toxins, and ways to make real food appealing even when everyone else has packaged snacks.    Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://planningplaytime.com/106

This week, I'm thrilled to welcome my good friend Alison Marras onto the show. Alison is a holistic nutritionist and author of the Paleo Gut Healing Cookbook. Her expertise in gut health, autoimmune disease, and food sensitivities shines through as she shares her personal journey of healing from Hashimoto's, PCOS, and IBS naturally. Alison's philosophy centers on the importance of not just what we eat but how we eat, emphasizing the role of the nervous system in our reactions to food and overall digestive health.In this episode, we focused on Alison's method of restoring gut health and she introduces us to the In Tune Method, a holistic approach she created to guide clients in reintroducing reactive foods with confidence, reducing inflammation, and escaping the cycle of elimination diets. We discuss the significance of mindful eating practices and the power of the nervous system in healing the gut. Alison explains why our food sensitivities can be viewed as a superpower rather than a hindrance, which can help shift your entire approach to health and wellness. We also touch on the crucial aspects of self-care, daily routines, and the need for a compassionate relationship with oneself in the journey to better health. Don't miss out on Alison's special freebie, a meal plan bot that crafts personalized meal plans to help incorporate diverse, nourishing foods into your diet while you work on overall healing.

I've had clients come to me with thousands of dollars in functional labs, and still no answers for their health issues; which means they wasted their money. Labs like a GI map (gut microbiome), OAT (organic acid test), HTMA (hair tissue mineral analysis) and other tests can be helpful, but they may not be needed; and in some cases, they're downright wasteful of your money.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: What lab tests are worth your money Which tests are a waste, and which to avoid How I help 90% of my cients avoid spedning money on labs How to get the most out of your functional labs   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Candida Overgrowth: The Hidden Factor Sabotaging Your Gut, Hormones, and Energy Are you stuck in a cycle of fatigue, brain fog, bloating, and stubborn weight gain no matter what you do? If you're in perimenopause or struggling with digestive issues like IBS, there's a hidden culprit you might not have considered—Candida overgrowth. It's a common issue I see in women experiencing hormone imbalances, low energy, and weight loss resistance, and it could be quietly disrupting your gut health and metabolism. In this episode, I share how Candida can create a ripple effect throughout your body, affecting everything from your mood and focus to your hormones and immune system. We'll unpack how Candida thrives in modern lifestyles, why it's often missed in traditional testing, and what you need to know to start supporting your body naturally. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: The surprising connection between fatigue, brain fog, and Candida overgrowth—and why diet alone isn't always enough to heal. How hormone shifts in perimenopause and menopause make women more susceptible to gut imbalances like Candida. A little-known gut-brain link that might explain your energy crashes and mood swings.
