Podcasts about IBS

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.     WOMEN'S FUNCTIONAL HEALTH COACH CERTIFICATION PROGRAM- IS OPEN...

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.

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.

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.

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.

What if your "chemical imbalance" was never actually in your brain — but on your plate? Dr. Georgia Ede is a Harvard trained psychiatrist who began to experience a host of mystery symptoms in her 40s, including fibromyalgia, migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome, and IBS.  When she got relief after experimenting with her diet, she began her path of nutritional studies & later became a nutritional psychiatrist.

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. What we inherit is an inability to refine a raw material, which creates a deficiency, and that deficiency is what shows up as the symptom you've been calling a disease. Find what your body can't make on its own, put it back, and watch what happens.  CLICK HERE TO BECOME GARYS VIP!: ⁠https://bit.ly/4ai0Xwg⁠ Thank you to our partners A-GAME: “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: http://bit.ly/4kek1ij AION: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4h6KHAD AIRES: "ULTIMATE20 " FOR 20% OFF: https://bit.ly/4a3Duze BAJA GOLD: "ULTIMATE10" FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3WSBqUa BODYHEALTH: “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: http://bit.ly/4e5IjsV COLD LIFE: THE ULTIMATE HUMAN PLUNGE: https://bit.ly/4eULUKpCYMBIOTIKA: "BRECKACYM30" FOR 30% OFF: https://bit.ly/4tjyluP GENETIC METHYLATION TEST (UK ONLY): https://bit.ly/48QJJrk GENETIC TEST (USA ONLY): ⁠https://bit.ly/3Yg1Uk9 GOPUFF: GET YOUR FAVORITE SNACK!: https://bit.ly/4obIFDC H2TABS: “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4hMNdgg HEALF: 10% OFF YOUR ORDER: https://bit.ly/41HJg6S PEPTUAL: “TUH10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4mKxgcn SNOOZE: LET'S GET TO SLEEP!: https://bit.ly/4pt1T6V WHOOP: JOIN & GET 1 FREE MONTH!: https://bit.ly/3VQ0nzW Watch  the “Ultimate Human Podcast” every Tuesday & Thursday at 9AM EST: YouTube: ⁠https://bit.ly/3RPQYX8⁠ Podcasts: ⁠https://bit.ly/3RQftU0⁠ Connect with Gary Brecka Instagram: ⁠https://bit.ly/3RPpnFs⁠ TikTok: ⁠https://bit.ly/4coJ8fo⁠X: ⁠https://bit.ly/3Opc8tf⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://bit.ly/464VA1H⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠https://bit.ly/4hH7Ri2⁠ Website: ⁠https://bit.ly/4eLDbdU⁠ Merch: ⁠https://bit.ly/4aBpOM1⁠ Newsletter: ⁠https://bit.ly/47ejrws⁠ Ask Gary: ⁠https://bit.ly/3PEAJuG⁠ Timestamps 00:00 - Intro of Show 01:04 - Gary takes the stage 02:39 - Going back to the basics of human physiology 04:22 - The two bold promises and mortality data 05:04 - Why life insurers predict death to the month 06:03 - The myth that disease is genetically inherited 08:11 - Reading deficiencies: tired, sore, brain fog, anxiety 09:53 - Circadian rhythm and bookending your sleep 12:11 - Fasting as a jet lag superpower 13:16 - Live breath work session 16:58 - The second bold promise 17:53 - The methylation chart explained 19:18 - MTHFR and the anxiety-gut link 22:27 - Homocysteine, creatine, and methyl donors 25:31 - Why targeted supplementation beats random stacks 26:22 - Reading a supplement label for cofactors 28:41 - The genetic methylation test 30:06 - Q&A: fibroids, insulin resistance, the Dutch test 33:03 - Q&A: LDL, triglycerides, and Lp(a) 39:58 - Q&A: high cortisol and hormone ratios 43:58 - Q&A: Hashimoto's, the Dutch test, and the COMT gene 47:18 - Q&A: Asperger's and mood numbness 51:18 - Q&A: anaphylaxis and mast cell activation 57:20 - Q&A: vitiligo and red light therapy 59:59 - Q&A: low T3, the liver, and selenium 1:05:28 - Q&A: IBS and the pace of the gut Disclaimer: This podcast is for informational purposes only and does not provide medical advice.

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.   Connect with Dr. John Ossipinsky: Website: lymphman.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lymphman/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/johnossipinsky/   For more on Dr. Erin: Join The Hope Circle Community: https://hormonehealingproject.drerinellis.com/communities/groups/the-hope-circle/home?invite=69120d498b7e3f60397656b8 Work with Dr. Erin here: https://p.bttr.to/3E88ps4 Buy Dr. Erin's Supplements here: https://drerinellis.com/shop Get the Period Productivity Planner here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BBYBRT5Q?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Download the FREE Menstrual Cycle Nutrition Guide here: https://detox.drerinellis.com/ Watch The Free Video "7 Hormones Affecting Your Weight Loss Goals" here: https://weightloss.drerinellis.com/ Let's Be Friends: Follow Dr. Erin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.erinellis/ Follow Dr. Erin on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drerinellisnmd Follow Dr. Erin on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.erinellis?lang=en Join the Free Hope Circle Community: https://hormonehealingproject.drerinellis.com/communities/groups/the-hope-circle/home?invite=69120d498b7e3f60397656b8 Bookmark Dr. Erin's Website: www.drerinellis.com Subscribe to Hope Natural Health on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChHYVmNEu5tKu91EATHhEiA Follow Hope Natural Health on FB: https://www.facebook.com/hopenaturalhealth Sign up for Newsletters here: https://booking.hopenaturalhealth.com/widget/form/VUubL7MNYELduwQL8ssI

Apply to Become a 1-on-1 Patient DianeKazer.com/PATIENT All Yeptide Resources DianeKazer.com/YEPTIDES Join Our Elite VIP Tribe DianeKazer.com/VIP I can't take it anymore. 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?

Sorg and Dave Podnar are back for another AwesomeCast packed with Pittsburgh tech, gaming, streaming, photography, AI, retro media, and a surprisingly practical app for finding a bathroom when you really need one. The episode starts locally with Dave highlighting Stormfreak, a Pittsburgh-area weather enthusiast who has built a following on Reddit by offering practical, level-headed forecasts without the sensationalism that often accompanies severe weather coverage. That leads into a bigger conversation about how Reddit, YouTube, and independent creators increasingly fill information gaps once occupied by traditional specialty television. Sorg then takes a trip back to the video-store era with Binge Buster, a web experience that lets users browse movies available on their existing streaming subscriptions in an interface inspired by wandering through the shelves of a physical rental store. Gaming takes over a large part of the conversation, including EA going private in a massive Saudi-backed deal, Netflix getting an extended GTA 6 preview, Atari showing signs of financial improvement, the possibility of accessing Xbox and PC Game Pass titles on Linux and Mac through the XODUS project, new content for the original Quake, and Sorg's experience comparing Xbox cloud gaming with NVIDIA GeForce NOW. Then things get weird in the best possible way: Diablo is heading to amusement-park Halloween events, while a permanent Freddy Fazbear's Pizza experience complete with animatronics is planned for American Dream. Dave also shares his latest experience with Adobe Project Indigo, including computational photography, AI photo critiques, and the increasingly blurry line between traditional editing and generative AI. The episode wraps with two ideas that bring physical experiences back into a digital world: Pittsburgh's Lost Lizard renting VHS, DVD, and even Betamax tapes, and Nature Calls Run, an upcoming crowdsourced app designed to help runners, cyclists, travelers, and people with medical needs locate bathrooms, water, and other resources. Stories, Gadgets & Topics Discussed 300–600mm iPhone zoom lens — Dave points listeners toward iPhonography Podcast co-host Greg McMillan's detailed look at an enormous telephoto solution for iPhone photography. Stormfreak and Pittsburgh weather on Reddit — Dave highlights the local forecaster's calm, practical approach to Pittsburgh weather and the community that has formed around his posts. They discuss how independent online weather coverage can sometimes be more useful than national television coverage when people need highly local information. The changing role of specialty media — Sorg and Dave compare today's creator-driven information sources with the original promise of channels like The Weather Channel, Discovery, TLC, and Food Network. Binge Buster — Sorg tries a streaming discovery site that recreates some of the experience of browsing a video store. Users select the streaming services they already subscribe to and browse movies through virtual box art, descriptions, genres, trailers, staff picks, and more. https://bingebuster.net/ Awesome Person of the Week: Lewis Latimer — Dave profiles the inventor, draftsman, engineer, and patent expert whose work intersected with both Alexander Graham Bell's telephone patent and the development of more durable electric-light filaments. Slice on Broadway pizza sauce — Dave discovers jars of Slice on Broadway's original pizza sauce while shopping at Labriola's Italian Market. EA goes private — Chachi's Video Game Minute covers EA completing its reported $55 billion sale to a Saudi-backed buyer and what private ownership might mean for the future of EA's games and monetization. Netflix and GTA 6 — Netflix is set to feature an extended look at Grand Theft Auto VI on August 27, prompting discussion about whether GTA really needs any additional publicity. Atari's financial comeback — Atari reports its strongest annual revenue in roughly a decade, giving Sorg and Dave an opportunity to talk about the strange history of the Atari name, its changing ownership, and the collection of gaming properties associated with it over the years. Xbox games potentially coming to Linux and Mac through XODUS — Sorg discusses an open-source reverse-engineering project designed to make compatible Xbox and PC titles accessible beyond Windows, including the possibility of accessing portions of a user's existing Microsoft gaming library. Xbox backward compatibility — The conversation touches on original Xbox and Xbox 360 games potentially becoming increasingly accessible through Microsoft's PC ecosystem. New Quake content decades later — Quake continues receiving new content around its 30th anniversary, giving players another reason to revisit the classic first-person shooter. NVIDIA GeForce NOW vs. Xbox cloud gaming — Sorg compares his experience streaming games like Doom: The Dark Ages and Forza Horizon, finding GeForce NOW's higher-end hardware particularly impressive for demanding, fast-moving games. Do you still need a gaming PC? — Cloud gaming raises a bigger question: if a service already supports hundreds of games in your library and provides continuously upgraded hardware, does spending thousands on a dedicated gaming PC still make sense? Diablo invades Cedar Point and Six Flags — Blizzard's Diablo becomes part of the Halloween amusement-park experience, leading to a conversation about licensed haunted attractions and the changing amusement-park industry. Cedar Fair/Six Flags consolidation and disappearing amusement parks — Dave looks back at the history of older amusement parks, including Pittsburgh-area memories of White Swan Park and the larger trend of parks disappearing as land was redeveloped. Freddy Fazbear's Pizza becomes real — A permanent Freddy Fazbear's Pizza experience featuring animatronic stage shows is planned for American Dream in 2027. Naturally, Sorg and Dave wonder whether anybody involved has actually learned the lesson of Five Nights at Freddy's. American Dream as the modern destination mall — The conversation expands into how malls are evolving from shopping centers into entertainment destinations with theme parks, water parks, skiing, restaurants, attractions, wrestling events, and other experiences. Adobe Project Indigo — Dave continues experimenting with Adobe's computational photography app, particularly challenging lighting situations and shooting directly toward a sunset. AI-powered photography reviews — Project Indigo can analyze a photo and provide feedback, giving photographers another way to evaluate composition and possible improvements. When an AI edit becomes a different photograph — Dave demonstrates an AI edit that substantially changes clouds and the sky, prompting an important conversation about the difference between enhancing a photograph and generating new visual information. AI quietly becoming another editing tool — Sorg shares his experience using AI to quickly create client graphics and discusses how generative tools increasingly feel less like a separate novelty and more like another part of a production workflow. Lost Lizard brings video rentals back to Pittsburgh — A Lawrenceville business is renting VHS tapes, DVDs, Betamax tapes, and even retro video games. The concept triggers plenty of nostalgia for independent video stores and their wonderfully strange horror collections. Physical media versus digital ownership — Reports of purchased digital movies disappearing from user libraries lead to a larger discussion about what consumers actually own when they "buy" a digital movie. Movies Anywhere and fragmented digital libraries — Sorg discusses the usefulness of synchronizing eligible purchases across services while acknowledging that licensing can still make digital ownership complicated. Maybe it's time to buy DVDs again — The uncertainty of digital licenses gives physical media another unexpected advantage: nobody can remotely remove a disc from your shelf. Nature Calls Run — An upcoming Pittsburgh-created app will crowdsource public restrooms, water sources, and other useful resources for runners, cyclists, travelers, parents, and anyone suddenly asking the most important question of the day: "Where can I go?" https://naturecallsapp.com/ Restroom access as an accessibility and medical issue — The app also plans to educate users about restroom-access laws affecting people with conditions including Crohn's disease and IBS. GCXC running events — Dave also discusses upcoming Pittsburgh-area races and the community surrounding GCXC events. https://gcxc.com/events-pa Support AwesomeCast: https://www.patreon.com/awesomecast

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?

Sue Becker shares Rachel and Kyle Hester's powerful testimony of how fresh-milled grains became an unexpected answer to prayer. After years of debilitating health struggles left Kyle with severe dietary restrictions, what began with a desperate prayer and a single bite of Kamut sourdough became a journey toward healing, renewed strength, restored joy, and the Food Freedom they thought they had lost. Rachel and Kyle's story is a beautiful reminder that food can be more than nourishment—it can be part of God's provision and a pathway to true freedom—both food freedom and culinary freedom.

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.

Why am I still in pain? It's one of the most searched health questions on the internet. Millions of people live with chronic pain, fibromyalgia, back pain, neck pain, migraines, pelvic pain, IBS, anxiety, and unexplained symptoms despite seeing specialists, trying medications, physical therapy, injections, surgery, and countless other treatments.In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, chronic pain educator and bestselling author Nicole Sachs explores a different question: What if your symptoms aren't simply something to eliminate—but something to understand?Rather than debating whether pain is "all in your head," this conversation dives into the fascinating relationship between the nervous system, emotional stress, chronic pain, and the body's remarkable ability to communicate through symptoms. Nicole shares why so many people become trapped in cycles of pain, perfectionism, people-pleasing, fear, and nervous system dysregulation—and how learning to listen differently can become part of the healing process.In This Episode✔ Why chronic pain often persists even after tissues have healed ✔ How the nervous system influences pain, stress, and recovery ✔ Why your body may be sending signals instead of simply "breaking down" ✔ The surprising connection between emotional stress and physical symptoms ✔ Why people-pleasing and perfectionism frequently accompany chronic illness ✔ What to do when you've "tried everything" and nothing has worked ✔ How Nicole Sachs approaches healing alongside—not instead of—conventional medical care ✔ What gives hope to people living with chronic pain todayWhether you're living with chronic back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia, migraines, pelvic pain, long-term stress, anxiety, unexplained symptoms, or you're a healthcare professional looking to better understand persistent pain, this episode offers an evidence-informed, compassionate perspective on one of healthcare's most challenging problems.About Nicole SachsNicole Sachs, LCSW, is a psychotherapist, chronic pain educator, speaker, and bestselling author known internationally for helping people better understand the relationship between the brain, the nervous system, emotional processing, and chronic symptoms.

That flash of feeling you get when someone else's life looks easier than yours has a name, and it probably isn't the one you think.For women with chronic illness, watching other people move through the world without managing a body first can bring up something sharp, and most women judge themselves for it and push it straight back down. But that feeling is one of the most useful emotional signals you have. It doesn't make you bitter. It points, with real precision, at what you actually want your life to look like.In this mini, you'll discover:The difference between jealousy and envy, and why naming it correctly changes everythingWhy envy is a signal worth listening to instead of a feeling to be ashamed ofThe simple way to trace that feeling back to what you actually want, and reach a version of it nowMy free ChatGPT prompt connects your physical symptoms to the emotional patterns underneath them in under 30 seconds, free for now.

Send us Fan MailCould your fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, hormone symptoms, or low energy actually be connected to your digestive system?In this episode, I sit down with functional nutritionist Erin Harner RD to explore why so many women get stuck managing digestive symptoms instead of actually healing their gut. We discuss why eliminating foods often provides temporary relief but can reduce microbiome diversity over time, how digestion affects nearly every system in the body, and why healthy foods like fiber sometimes make people feel worse before they're ready for them. Erin shares her practical framework for restoring digestive health instead of endless restriction. We also discuss the importance of the nervous system, the migrating motor complex, meal timing, and when gut testing is—and isn't—actually helpful. Whether you're dealing with bloating, constipation, IBS, food sensitivities, or seemingly unrelated symptoms like poor sleep, mood changes, or fatigue, this conversation will help you better understand why your body is reacting the way it is—and what you can do to support true healing.In this episode we discuss: Why gut problems can show up as fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, skin issues, and joint pain  The difference between symptom management and true gut healing  Why eliminating foods isn't always the answer  The "heal before ideal" approach to digestion  Erin's three-step framework for restoring gut health  Why gut rhythm and the migrating motor complex matter  Common healthy habits that can actually backfire  When gut testing is useful—and when it's not  One simple habit you can start today to improve digestionYou can Find Erin Harner and her free class hereFind Erin on Instagram hereAnd on YouTube hereSupport the show_____________________________________________________________

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.

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.

In this episode of Beyond Limits, Liv sits down with Arabella Blaker, naturopath, nutritional therapist, speaker, and founder of The Arabella Solution.After being diagnosed with PCOS, IBS, anxiety, depression, and told she'd likely never have children, Arabella refused to accept that symptom management was her only option. Her search for healing became the catalyst for a completely new life and a mission to help women around the world heal physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Together, Liv and Arabella explore why true healing goes far beyond supplements and nutrition, the connection between trauma, beliefs, and chronic illness, and how addressing the root cause can transform every area of your health. They also share the role faith has played in their own healing journeys and why hope may be one of the most powerful medicines of all. Inside this episode:

Look at what you're worried about today and how much of it is technically someone else's to deal with…Your partner's stress. Your sister's bad decision. The situation at work that landed on someone else's desk. Somewhere along the way you appointed yourself the person responsible for how it all turns out, for everyone, but no one ever actually handed you that job. For women with chronic illness, this emotional pattern of over-functioning can fuel physical symptoms and women don't even know they are doing it!In this episode, you'll discover:Why almost every problem you're having right now, at its root, is a relationship problemI'll teach you an easy hack to separate what is actually yours to deal with from what belongs to someone elseAnd we'll dive into how carrying the weight of everyone else's problems impacts physical symptoms and flare upsMy free ChatGPT prompt connects your physical symptoms to the emotional patterns underneath them in under 30 seconds, free for now.

For most of the last forty years, irritable bowel syndrome was treated as a problem of the gut alone. The idea that the brain plays a central role took decades to gain acceptance, and it remains contested today.In this episode of The Mind-Gut Conversation, Dr. Mayer is joined by Dr. Erin Mauney, a pediatric gastroenterologist and researcher at Harvard and Massachusetts General Hospital, who has completed one of the first clinical trials of psilocybin-assisted therapy for patients with treatment-resistant IBS.They discuss why a compound acting primarily on the brain might change how the gut is experienced, what happens when the brain's prediction machinery becomes locked into a cycle of pain and anticipation, and why the therapy surrounding the dosing sessions may matter as much as the molecule itself.The conversation also takes on the harder questions. How do you run a placebo-controlled trial when every participant knows they received the drug? Can the psychedelic experience be engineered out of psychedelic medicine, and what is lost if it is? And what can practices used ritually for millennia still teach a reductionist Western model of care?This is early-stage science, and Dr. Mauney is refreshingly clear about the limits of what is currently known. It is also a glimpse at what the next chapter of brain-gut medicine might look like.Topics discussed include:• Why IBS is best understood as a disorder of gut-brain interaction• How the brain's predictive coding can become locked into chronic pain• What psilocybin-assisted therapy actually involves, session by session• Whether the psychedelic experience itself is essential to the benefit• The placebo problem in psychedelic trials, and why it may be unsolvable• How long the benefits appear to last after treatment ends• Where psychedelic research in gastroenterology may be headedThis is a careful, evidence-based conversation for anyone interested in IBS, chronic pain, and the future of brain-gut medicine.Chapters:0:00 - Introduction3:23 - IBS as a Brain-Gut Disorder7:40 - Entering Psychedelic Research13:22 - How Psilocybin Could Affect the Gut15:43 - Inside the Trial17:50 - The Brain and Pain Prediction21:18 - Side Effects and Patient Experience25:40 - Does the Psychedelic Experience Matter?29:57 - Ritual and Western Medicine32:15 - The Placebo Question36:33 - Combining Therapies39:10 - Brain Imaging40:56 - Practical Challenges44:07 - Durability of Benefits47:23 - Overlap With Other Conditions49:28 - Where the Research Goes Next54:11 - Looking Ahead

Leigh Ann welcomes Dr. Stasha Gominak for a deep dive into sleep, as well as vitamin D, B vitamins, the microbiome, pain, repair, and why many sleep issues may be misunderstood. Dr. Gominak shares how her work as a neurologist with headache patients unexpectedly led her into sleep research after discovering that many young, otherwise healthy women had abnormal sleep studies even when they did not have sleep apnea. She explains why sleep studies can be overly reductive when they focus only on apnea, while missing deeper issues with REM sleep, deep sleep, paralysis, repair, and brainstem function. Leigh Ann and Dr. Gominak discuss the role of vitamin D as a hormone, why blood levels may matter more than generic dosing, and how bringing vitamin D levels up helped some patients sleep better before later revealing deeper B vitamin and microbiome-related issues. Dr. Gominak also explains her evolving understanding of the impact that B5, acetylcholine, gut bacteria, inflammation, and IBS have on the parasympathetic nervous system.Product Discount Codes + LinksHoolest: Website (Discount Code: THEACCRESCENT10)Froya Hair Care: Website (Link gives 10% off)Herbal Face Food: Website (Discount Code: LAL30)Episode LinksDr. Gominak's Right Sleep MembershipGuest InfoDr. Gominak - WebsiteDr. Gominak - YouTubeRelated EpisodesPodcast Ep. 239: Dr. Abhinav Singh (Sleep Vigilante) - Why Most People Are Sleeping Wrong—And What You Can Do About It TonightPodcast Ep. 173: Sarah Greenfield - Gut Health: The Emotional and Physical Path to HealingWork w/Leigh AnnLearn: What is EVOX Therapy?Book: Schedule a Session or FREE Discovery CallMembership: What is The Healing Alchemy MembershipConnect w/Me & Learn MoreWebsiteInstagramTiktokYoutube

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.

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.

389: Is eating right after your workout causing digestive issues? What about "pre-workout" fuel? Is that really just a hoax from the fitness industry to sell you more stuff to consume? Today, I have Bronson Dent with me who is a fitness and wellness coach who turned carnivore after experiencing his own IBS issues that led him to where he is today. He was suffering with severe bowel issues that took over his life and was desperate to find relief. Through switching to carnivore, he got his life back within 90 days and is now sharing his story and debunking fitness myths everyone and their grandmother has been duped into following. We talk about fiber and if it's actually making constipation worse. If exercise is making your gut more inflamed, why sleep is critical for gaining muscle and tricks to getting a better night sleep without any supplements, and of course, we talk about the reason WHY most people want to lose weight and if that's really enough motivation. Our conversation goes from heavy, to light hearted, and everything in between so I hope you stick around until the very end because you'll be crying and laughing all the way through!   Topics Discussed: → WHY do you really want to lose weight? → Misconceptions around fitness → Sleep tips → Fiber myths debunked → The connection between fitness and gut issues → How to avoid physical deterioration while losing weight  As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.
