Podcasts about imbalances

Are you constantly tired, running on fumes, or wondering why you can't get your energy back—no matter how much sleep you get? Low energy isn't just about being busy. It's often a red flag that something deeper is out of balance in your body.   In this conversation, FDNP Julie James uncovers why low energy connects to so many different health issues—and what you can actually do about it.   What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why all of your symptoms are connected—and how they're cues from your body that it needs help to regain balance. How functional lab testing reveals what's really going on inside your body, so you can know where to focus and how to heal. Why your body is incredibly resilient—and how to use the right tools to support its natural ability to restore balance. You don't need to live in a constant state of burnout or exhaustion. With the right insights and strategies, you can feel energized, empowered, and in control of your health again—naturally.       Want to watch this episode on YouTube? Click here. Subscribe if you'd like to catch all new episodes live and participate with our guests directly.   Want to learn more about becoming an FDN? Go to fdntraining.com/resources to get our best free workshops and mini-courses!

Author Kyle Siler discusses the article, "Information Frequency, Value, and Difficulty as Sources of Social Inequality: Competitive Imbalances on Jeopardy!" published in the December 2025 issue of Social Psychology Quarterly.

Most people blame posture for their neck and shoulder pain, but research shows the real root cause is often hormones, not mechanics. In this episode, Ben explains how cortisol, thyroid hormones, sex hormones, insulin, and even growth hormone can lock your muscles into chronic tension and why most doctors miss these connections. You'll learn how stress hormones alter pain pathways, increase inflammation, and create tight traps, stiff necks, and burning shoulders. Ben breaks down a simple daily Cortisol Calm Protocol using breathwork, post-meal walking, a no-stimulation hour, and gratitude to quickly shift your body out of fight-or-flight. He then exposes the deep link between an underactive thyroid and muscle aches, frozen shoulder, fatigue, and chronic stiffness — plus which full thyroid panel to request from your doctor (not just TSH). Next, he explains why women 40–60 experience sharp increases in joint pain during perimenopause and menopause due to changes in estrogen that affect lubrication, cartilage, strength, and inflammation. You'll also hear why people with insulin resistance or diabetes are five times more likely to develop frozen shoulder. High insulin creates stiff connective tissue and slows healing. Ben gives practical metabolic strategies: lower carbs, test fasting insulin, walk after meals, strength train, and use intermittent fasting. The episode closes with the overlooked role of deep sleep and growth hormone in tissue repair. Poor sleep dramatically reduces recovery, while fasting and strength training boost growth hormone naturally. FREE GUIDE: How To Lose 1 Pound Of Fat Per Day HERE -https://bit.ly/48AYCfC 

In today's episode, Dr. Datis Kharrazian takes a dive into the intricate relationship between blood sugar stability—what he calls dysglycemia—and mood disorders. You'll learn how rollercoaster blood sugar levels can disrupt neurochemistry, impact hormone balance, and even alter your brain's stress response. Plus, Dr. Kharrazian explores why stabilizing blood sugar is critical before addressing neurotransmitter imbalances, and he explains real-world clinical signs.

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:    Stephen: Hi Dr. Cabral, I wanted to get your thoughts on a supplement called Protandim — a product marketed to reduce oxidative stress by activating Nrf2, support cellular repair, and promote detoxification and gene regulation. The company claims it's backed by dozens of peer-reviewed studies, but most of the research has been done in animals or cell cultures, and the few human studies show mixed results. Online opinions seem polarized — some call it a marketing gimmick, while others swear by it — so it's been difficult to find balanced, evidence-based perspectives. I'd love to hear your assessment — whether you've had any experience with it in your practice, what results (if any) you've observed, and whether you'd consider it a science-supported supplement worth considering.              Sarah: Hey doc! I've been rebounding/vibration plate/dry brushing consistently for over 2 years now. I also sauna once every week or so. When Im rebounding I notice that I get a pain in my left collar bone. I always massage the area before and after. I thought after rebounding for this long the pain might go away. Its not so painful but its uncomfortable and im wondering if this is anything to be concerned about? My partner recently tried rebounding and he said he felt pain also. We've done a bunch of detoxes, CBO, mold etc, both walk alot and exercise and generally pretty healthy.                                   Bryan: Hi Dr. C, I was wondering if you had any thoughts or opinions on Kratom. I've heard you discuss nicotine, cannabis and various other psychedelics on your podcast and their "potential" medicinal benefits but never heard you mention Kratom. Do you have any opinions on this plant? More harm than good? Just curious to hear your thoughts. Thanks,                                                                               Anthony: Hi Doctor Cabral, THANK YOU for all you do. Our 12 year old son seems to have red bags under his eyes more often than we think he should. He also has a small patch of warts on his upper forehead, a slightly bigger wart on the top of his foot and a small patch of bumps on his upper forearm hear his elbow. We had his blood work done taken and it came back with no issues. We also had a food sensitivity test done = IgE Allergy High is cashew, flax seed, green pea, lima bean, navy bean, and his IgG Sensitivity highs being turkey, with many moderate foods on both the allergy and sensitivity sides. Just wondering what your input would be. Thank you Anthony                                                                  Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, I truly resonate with your philosophy of addressing the root cause rather than masking symptoms. I've listened to all your podcasts and read your book, and I really appreciate your holistic approach. I'm also an IHP2. My question is about blood sugar imbalances. Most natural health books I've read on this topic tend to focus on symptom management through low-carb diets. Do you have a book you'd recommend that explores how to restore cell membrane function and rebalance this dynamic at the deepest level? Thank you for your time and for all the work you do.                          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/3592 - - - 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?

Inflation has turned upward again, and this month's news brings a shift that economists and households alike will feel. In What's in the News, we start with the first official monthly CPI release from the ABS, which shows headline inflation rising to 3.8 percent. We walk through what's driving the move including housing costs, food prices, and the sharp jump in electricity bills. We also look at why the RBA is expected to hold rates despite the reversal in trend.In The Hand, the conversation shifts to the real pressure point behind the scenes: structurally higher energy costs that rebates have been masking for more than a year. We examine how years of policy instability have stalled long-term investment in baseload generation, why emerging technologies like hydrogen remain far from cost-effective, and how the rollback of subsidies is exposing the true cost of the system Australians rely on every day.Then in The Invisible, we turn to the widening housing shortfall, where record population growth is colliding with weak construction activity. Domenique outlines the gap between migration and dwelling supply, and Paul breaks down why the Housing Australia Future Fund has fallen dramatically behind its targets. Together, we connect these trends to the structural forces shaping inflation, affordability, and opportunity across the economy.Episode Highlights: [00:06] We open with a look at the first official monthly CPI print released by the ABS.[01:01] Listener encounters at a securitisation conference spark a conversation about academic roots and shared backgrounds.[02:09] Interest grows around the idea of a live event as the two of us gauge audience enthusiasm.[03:36] The What's in the News segment begins with a deep dive into the October CPI reading, which shows inflation rising to 3.8 percent.[04:20] Discussion turns to why Australia shifted from quarterly to monthly CPI reporting and how the ABS constructs the new series.[06:36] Key inflation drivers include housing, electricity, and food come into focus as we unpack the pressures behind the latest numbers.[08:16] The conversation revisits the RBA's rapid tightening cycle, from the 0.1 percent cash rate to the 4.35 percent peak.[10:09] Temporary electricity rebates are examined for how they distorted inflation on the way down and again on the way up.[11:09] Rising food and beverage costs are added to the broader cost-of-living picture.[12:44] Record government expenditure, now sitting at 26.5 percent of GDP, is identified as the largest underlying driver of inflation.[14:15] Health, defence, and the NDIS emerge as the categories fueling sustained fiscal pressure across government budgets.[16:30] Connections are drawn between government spending, tax receipts, and Australia's dependence on resource exports.[18:40] The question of an RBA hold or hike prompts a discussion shaped by timing, data trends, and the approaching holiday period.[19:23] This month's CPI print is framed as a turning point that signals a new phase in the economic cycle.[21:31] The Hand segment begins with an exploration of energy bill rebates and the sharp increases appearing as those supports roll off.[23:22] The political timing of the rebates is questioned, along with the broader economic logic behind them.[25:46] A recent visit to a hydrogen facility highlights the steep technological and financial challenges of emerging energy solutions.[27:35] Long-term energy planning hurdles are traced back to more than 15 years of policy instability and shifting priorities.[28:59] The realities of baseload replacement are discussed, noting why renewables still struggle to compete with ageing coal assets on cost.[30:35] Government trade-offs come into focus as electricity costs, health spending, defence needs, and tax policy collide.[32:13] The Invisible segment begins by contrasting record migration levels with Australia's slow construction output.[34:16] The scale of the housing shortage becomes clear through vacancy rates, construction gaps, and CBRE's projected 75,000-unit apartment deficit.[35:00] Attention turns to the Housing Australia Future Fund and its promise to deliver 55,000 homes for $10 billion.[37:19] Reality falls far short of the target, with just over 4,000 dwellings counted so far and fewer than 400 actually built.[38:41] Dwelling costs under the program are unpacked, showing average figures between $800,000 and more than $1 million per home.[40:15] Migration trends, construction slowdowns, and rising costs are connected to Australia's widening housing imbalance.[40:44] Structural challenges in energy, housing, and inflation are reframed as areas of opportunity for households and businesses able to adapt.[42:51] The episode wraps with a preview of next month's annual Predictions episode and a look at the political and economic forces ahead.Resources & Links Related to this EpisodeThe Invisible Hand PodcastThe Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA)Australian Bureau of Statistics – Monthly CPI IndicatorHousing Australia Future FundCBRE – Residential Market Reports

Reclaiming Men's Health: Proactive Wellness, Vulnerability, and the Power of Service — Lessons from Christopher ZainoIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge speaks with Christopher Zaino, former Mister America and Mister Universe, and Founder of The Stallion Project. Christopher shares his inspiring journey of overcoming ulcerative colitis and embracing a mission to help men reclaim their health, vitality, and purpose. This episode is a powerful call to action for men ready to live intentionally, with honesty, strength, and holistic wellness at the forefront.The Stallion Protocol: Realigning Men with Health and PurposeChristopher Zaino believes the root of many health struggles for men is denial. From ignoring symptoms to suppressing emotions, men are often conditioned to be self-reliant to a fault. Zaino advocates for radical honesty as the first step to reclaiming physical and emotional well-being. He urges men to stop brushing off fatigue, digestive issues, or burnout—and to schedule regular checkups and address both physical and emotional health head-on.Beyond honesty, Zaino emphasizes understanding one's biochemistry. Imbalances in testosterone, dopamine, and cortisol often explain symptoms like low energy, mood swings, and lack of drive. Through comprehensive blood work, lifestyle adjustments, and expert guidance, men can restore balance and reignite their performance and purpose. His protocol also prioritizes movement and mindset—integrating daily cardio and uplifting inputs like podcasts to elevate both body and mind.Another powerful pillar of Zaino's philosophy is vulnerability. By sharing his story, he discovered deep healing—and encourages men to do the same. He believes community, connection, and service are vital parts of wellness. Whether it's checking in with friends, helping others, or scheduling self-care as a leadership practice, Zaino's message is clear: real strength lies in self-awareness, action, and service.About Christopher ZainoChristopher Zaino is a renowned speaker, former professional bodybuilder, and the Founder of The Stallion Project. After overcoming a life-threatening health crisis, he became a passionate advocate for men's wellness, purpose, and emotional growth—coaching thousands of men to lead with authenticity and strength.About The Stallion ProjectThe Stallion Project is a movement led by Christopher Zaino dedicated to helping men in midlife reconnect with their health, purpose, and power. Through programs, coaching, and community, Zaino equips men with the tools to transform their bodies, minds, and relationships.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeThe Stallion Project WebsiteChristopher Zaino LinkedIn ProfileKey Episode HighlightsWhy radical honesty is the foundation of men's healthHow biochemistry affects energy, mood, and driveThe link between daily movement and emotional resilienceWhy vulnerability is a strength—not a weakness—for menHow service and community accelerate personal healingConclusionChristopher Zaino's story is a testament to the power of proactive self-care and emotional honesty.

Lately, every time I talk to a client (or honestly, a friend), the same thing comes up: “I'm so tired. I'm taking electrolytes, eating clean, supplementing magnesium… doing everything right, but I still feel off.”And I get it because I've been feeling that too.So, I sat down with my friend Dr. Heather Rhodes, and we started comparing notes - our clients' labs, our own tests, and all the little things women are saying right now.What we discovered finally made a lot of sense when we truly took the time to understand it.Here's what we got into:How your minerals might be running on empty, even if you're taking electrolytes every dayWhy low potassium, sodium, and magnesium might mean your body is begging for rest, not another supplement And yes, parasites - the weird, uncomfortable topic that's showing up in way more women than you'd thinkThis one's a mix of science, real-life stories, and the kind of honest chat you'd have with a friend who gets it.

Leigh Ann welcomes returning guest Lindsay Courcelle to discuss the importance of fascia and myofascial release in relation to breast health and breast cancer.

Concussions don't always show up on scans—but they can reshape mood, sleep, focus, and quality of life. In this direct conversation on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Dr. Ayla Wolf—acupuncturist, funct/ional neurology practitioner, and author of The Concussion Breakthrough—explains why many post-concussion symptoms are missed, how autonomic nervous system dysregulation drives anxiety, and why brain inflammation is a crucial, often misunderstood piece. We cover practical, non-pharmaceutical strategies (vision–vestibular rehab, targeted drills, acupuncture, clean nutrition, toxin reduction) and how to track progress with clear, objective markers. If you or someone you love has “mystery” brain fog, dizziness, or mood shifts after a head impact, this episode is a grounded roadmap to smarter recovery. Guest: Dr. Ayla Wolf About the Guest  : Dr. Ayla Wolf is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, founder of Healing Response: Acupuncture & Functional Neurology, host of Life After Impact: The Concussion Recovery Podcast, and author of the 600-page guide The Concussion Breakthrough: Discover the Missing Pieces to Recovery. She blends science and integrative care to help patients resolve complex, lingering effects of head injury. Key Takeaways: Concussions are often invisible injuries. Many never receive a formal diagnosis; symptoms like anxiety, depression, brain fog, and sleep issues may surface months later. Standard scans can miss functional problems. ER CTs rule out bleeds and fractures but don't diagnose concussion or dysautonomia. Autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysregulation is central. Imbalances in sympathetic/parasympathetic tone can show up as racing heart, sweating, overwhelm, and heightened stress reactivity. Brain inflammation is misunderstood. It can be regional (not “whole brain”), influenced by diet, toxins, and lifestyle; medicine lacks a single “blockbuster” drug solution. Assessment must be individualized. No one-size protocol—patients present with different blends of neck/vestibular/ocular/cognitive issues. Use objective markers to track progress. Balance tests, eye-movement integrity, and positional challenges help verify whether therapies are working. Therapy can be creative and multimodal. Vision–vestibular drills, targeted movement, cervical care, and acupuncture can modulate blood flow, immune activity, and attention networks. Lifestyle matters. Whole foods, clean water, toxin reduction, and sleep hygiene lower neuroinflammatory load and support recovery. Multiple concussions compound risk. Early “compensations” can fail after later hits, worsening symptoms and extending recovery timelines. Validation is therapeutic. Clear exams plus education help patients feel believed—and engaged—in their healing plan.

Apologies for the audio quality; I'm working on fixing it. Thanks for your patience.Today, we explore the 3rd chakra, Manipura, meaning “city of jewels.” Located at the solar plexus, it governs self-definition, confidence, and personal power. Associated with fire, it fuels digestion, metabolism, and transformation—Agni. The bija mantra is RAM, its colour is yellow, and its sense organ is sight, representing vision and illumination (Tejas).Fire in yoga, or Tapas, creates positive change through disciplined action and intention. Imbalances manifest as rajasic dominance (control, aggression) or tamasic weakness (low self-esteem). A balanced state, or sattva, fosters vitality, confidence, and wise action.Manipura's ten-petal lotus represents overcoming negative tendencies like fear, shame, and ignorance, replacing them with strength, compassion, and clarity. Its symbol, a downward triangle, signifies transformation. The ram embodies courage and determination.Let's connect with our power and purpose.

Many people assume that gut problems always show up as bloating, pain, or digestive distress — but that's far from the truth. In this episode, Tara explains why everyone who cares about their long-term health and longevity should be paying attention to their gut… even if they think their digestion is just fine. From fatigue and brain fog to anxiety, weight gain, autoimmune issues, and even fertility challenges — the gut often plays a bigger role than you might realize. Tara shares a real-life client case: a woman with zero gut symptoms whose stool test revealed significant bacterial imbalances that were quietly driving inflammation and impacting her health. You'll learn why markers like LPS (lipopolysaccharides) and butyrate are so important, how they connect to inflammation throughout the body, and why a truly comprehensive stool test is non-negotiable if you want real answers. Tara also explains why not all tests — and not all practitioners — are created equal, and how to ensure you're working with someone who understands the full complexity of the microbiome. Whether you're chasing down stubborn symptoms or simply want to stay vibrant and healthy for years to come, this episode will inspire you to make your gut a top priority. Tara explains that: Comprehensive stool testing is essential for everyone, not just those with digestive symptoms. This helps identify issues that may be quietly driving systemic inflammation. Markers like LPS (lipopolysaccharides) and butyrate on stool tests provide vital insights into the inflammatory state of your gut—and, by extension, your whole body. If your test doesn't measure these, you're missing valuable information. Imbalances (dysbiosis) can exist without gut symptoms and still drive conditions like fatigue, autoimmunity, and infertility. Understanding your unique microbiome can be truly game-changing for your health path.

Discover the Power of Amino Acid Therapy to Reduce Anxiety and Get Healthier In today's fast-paced world, maintaining both mental and physical health is more important than ever. Whether you are a parent, a leader, or simply striving to become the best version of yourself, it's essential to find effective ways to support your well-being. One powerful yet often overlooked solution is amino acid therapy—a God-designed approach to healing that addresses your health at the root level. Understanding Amino Acid Therapy Amino acids are the building blocks of life, part of God's intentional design for our bodies to function optimally. These molecules do more than build muscle—they are the raw materials your brain uses to create neurotransmitters like serotonin, endorphins, catecholamines, and GABA. When these brain chemicals are out of balance, we can experience symptoms like anxiety, depression, low motivation, and chronic stress. The Brain-Gut Connection: A Two-Way Street While many people look to gut health as the starting point for healing, the brain cannot be overlooked. Imbalances in brain chemistry—particularly in key neurotransmitters—can lead to cravings, poor digestion, mood swings, and unstable blood sugar. Why Amino Acids Matter Here's how amino acid therapy can help: Reduce Anxiety and Depression: By restoring neurotransmitter levels, particularly serotonin and GABA, you can experience greater calm, improved sleep, and a more lifted mood. Improve Focus and Energy: Boosting catecholamines can restore motivation, mental clarity, and drive. Support Emotional Resilience: Endorphin support helps you feel emotionally grounded and less reactive to stress. Balance Blood Sugar Naturally: Maintaining stable glucose levels is essential for optimal brain health. Protein helps regulate this process, and amino acids play a central role in it. Rejuvenate Your Brain: You need protein—around 30–40 grams three times a day—to support your brain's rebuilding process. Without enough protein, your brain can't make the chemicals it needs to thrive. About Laurie Hammer Before motherhood, Laurie battled an eating disorder, anxiety, and depression, affecting her health, relationships, and overall well-being. Discovering Amino Acid Therapy changed everything, helping her reclaim her life and igniting her passion for health and wellness.
