Could Hashimoto's be the missing root cause behind your thyroid symptoms?If you have been told your thyroid labs are “fine,” or you are taking thyroid medication but still feel exhausted, foggy, inflamed, or not like yourself, this conversation will help you understand what may be happening underneath the surface. Hashimoto's is not just a thyroid problem. It is an immune system condition that can keep attacking the thyroid when the deeper triggers are never addressed.Inna Topiler, CNS, MS, is a Certified Nutrition Specialist who has navigated her own Hashimoto's journey for over 25 years. She is the host of Thyroid Mystery Solved: Hashimoto's and Hypothyroidism Revealed, and the creator of Thyroid Love, a 26-nutrient supplement formulated specifically for thyroid autoimmunity.In this conversation with Dr. Shivani Gupta, Inna explains the immune confusion behind Hashimoto's, why thyroid medication alone does not calm the immune attack, and what it really takes to support thyroid health at the root.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why levothyroxine supports the thyroid but does not address the immune attack causing the damage?How to ask for a real full thyroid panel, and why TPO and TG antibodies matterThe four root cause buckets behind immune confusion: food, infections, toxins, and stressWhy gluten can trigger an immune attack on the thyroid through molecular mimicryThe truth about iodine supplementation with Hashimoto's, and why it often makes things worseHow selenium and inositol support thyroid hormone balance and immune regulationWhy zinc deficiency can be generational and how high copper compounds the problemWhat a thyroid supplement designed for autoimmunity should and should not includeThe Inflammation Codehttps://www.amazon.com/dp/140199699X?tag=usalinktagdefault-20&th=1&psc=1&geniuslink=trueFusionary Formulas SupplementsUse code CODE15 for 15% off your first orderhttps://fusionaryformulas.com/?utm_source=Show+Notes&utm_medium=Show+notes+&utm_campaign=Podcast+promo&utm_id=The+Inflammation+Code+Podcast7-Day Inflammation Detox Challengehttps://www.7dayinflammationdetox.com/Work with Dr. Shivani / Free Discovery Callhttps://shivanigupta.com/

In this empowering conversation, Cheryl  and Dr. Kara Wada explore what it means to take charge of your health with conditions like Sjögren's syndrome and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). Dr Kara shares how her experience as a patient with Sjogren's taught her things she never learned as a allergist-immunologist doctor. They discuss practical strategies for rebuilding trust in your body, the critical role of understanding your core values, and how to find the right support — whether through programs like Rheum to Thrive or events like the Virtual Sjögren's Summit.  Together, they show how education, advocacy, and mindset shifts can help patients move from fear to confidence in managing their immune health. Episode at a glance: Sjogren's and MCAS 101: what is Sjogren's and MCAS? Dr. Kara Wada's personal journey: Sjögren's and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and how it shaped her mission to empower patients.

Your immune system doesn't simply weaken with age; it reshapes itself in ways that change your risk for infections, cancer, and autoimmune disease, which affects how well your body recovers and stays resilient over time Women develop a more reactive and inflammatory immune system as they age, which strengthens defense against infections but raises the likelihood of autoimmune conditions where the body attacks its own tissues Men experience fewer overall immune changes but are more likely to develop silent high-risk cell patterns linked to cancers, allowing disease risk to build without obvious warning signs Your lifelong exposures to infections, stress, diet, and environment create a unique "immunobiography" that determines how effectively your immune system responds to threats later in life Daily habits such as nutrition, sleep, stress management, and sun exposure directly influence how your immune system ages, giving you a practical way to lower inflammation and improve long-term health outcomes

This podcast by Dr. Dan Zlotoff reviews new research on immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated myocarditis, a rare but serious complication of cancer immunotherapy, focusing on emerging inflammatory biomarkers such as interleukin‑6 and immune cell signatures. The study highlights potential pathways for risk stratification and targeted therapies, while underscoring the need for larger trials to develop reliable diagnostic and treatment strategies in cardio‑oncology.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is being called the "silent pandemic" by global health experts, but what does that actually mean? In this episode of the Wholistic Living Podcast, we explore why antibiotic-resistant infections are increasing worldwide, how bacteria develop resistance through biofilms and horizontal gene transfer, and why common microbes such as E. coli, Klebsiella, Streptococcus, and Enterococcus are becoming a growing concern. Learn why most colds and flus are viral and do not respond to antibiotics, how repeated antibiotic use can impact the gut microbiome, and what a holistic approach to immune resilience can teach us about preventing infection. We'll discuss the latest antimicrobial resistance statistics, the role of stool testing, and practical ways to support your immune system naturally through nutrition, lifestyle, and gut health.Equip Grass fed protein: www.equipfoods.com/MARLA60 Day Gut Reset ($200 OFF) - https://checkout.teachable.com/secure/1716725/checkout/order_52y48hdz?coupon_code=SECRETOFFER

BUFFALO, NY – June 2, 2026 – A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget on May 20, 2026, titled “Microenvironmental CTHRC1 has a pro-tumorigenic role in colorectal cancer.” The study was led by first author Haylee Duval from the Center for Molecular Medicine at the MaineHealth Institute for Research and the Graduate School of Biomedical Science and Engineering at the University of Maine. The study's corresponding authors were Sergey Ryzhov, Volkhard Lindner, and Michaela R. Reagan, who are affiliated with the Center for Molecular Medicine at the MaineHealth Institute for Research, the Graduate School of Biomedical Science and Engineering at the University of Maine, and Tufts University School of Medicine. Colorectal cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. While much research has focused on cancer cells themselves, growing evidence suggests that the tumor microenvironment—the network of surrounding stromal cells, immune cells, and extracellular components—plays a critical role in determining how tumors grow and spread. In this study, researchers investigated collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 (CTHRC1), a secreted protein previously associated with poor outcomes in several cancer types. Although CTHRC1 is frequently detected in tumor-associated stroma, its precise role within the colorectal cancer microenvironment has remained unclear. To address this question, the team used a genetically engineered mouse model lacking CTHRC1 and compared tumor development with that of normal mice after colorectal cancer cells were introduced. The results consistently showed that the absence of host-derived CTHRC1 significantly reduced tumor growth. Across three independent experimental cohorts, mice lacking CTHRC1 developed substantially smaller tumors than their normal counterparts. In addition, survival improved markedly. The median survival of mice with normal CTHRC1 expression was 28 days after tumor inoculation, compared with 69 days in CTHRC1-deficient mice. The researchers also found evidence that CTHRC1 influences anti-tumor immunity. Mice lacking CTHRC1 had higher percentages of CD3-positive T cells in both tumors and spleens, suggesting a more active immune response against cancer. At the same time, they exhibited reduced levels of certain myeloid immune cells associated with immune suppression. Importantly, the investigators confirmed that the colorectal cancer cells themselves did not produce detectable CTHRC1. Instead, the protein was found primarily in fibroblasts and other stromal components surrounding the tumor. This finding indicates that the tumor-promoting effects originated from the tumor microenvironment rather than from the cancer cells directly. Histological analyses further revealed striking differences in tumor structure.

Long COVID and sports injuries are becoming impossible to ignore—and this episode explores why more athletes may be dealing with fatigue, soft tissue breakdown, and prolonged recovery after viral illness. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Greg Jones sits down with Dr. Muhammad Mansour, a naturopathic doctor and regenerative medicine specialist who treats elite athletes at the highest levels.In this episode, you'll learn how long COVID may affect skeletal muscle, mitochondrial function, exercise tolerance, and systemic inflammation—and why these issues can persist even after the initial infection appears to resolve. Dr. Mansour explains how athletes can miss early warning signs, why “pushing through” fatigue may backfire, and how a more individualized recovery strategy may be critical in the post-pandemic era.If you're an athlete, coach, practitioner, or health-conscious listener trying to understand the intersection of long COVID, inflammation, and injury risk, this episode offers a science-informed perspective on what recovery may require now.

Most of the mushroom supplements you'll find on Amazon are ground-up fruiting bodies or myceliated grain in a capsule. AHCC is something entirely different. It's a patented fermented extract from shiitake mycelia that has been used in over 1,000 cancer clinics worldwide, backed by more than 100 published studies, and studied specifically for its effects on natural killer cells, HPV clearance, autoimmune conditions, and liver disease. I'd never heard of it until Mimi Lindquist introduced me to it. Lindquist is the co-founder of The Medicine alongside her husband, Chase. She started as a clinical dental hygienist in Seattle, where she observed firsthand how oral health mirrors systemic health, and eventually followed a thread from a patient's HPV recovery all the way to a research compound developed at the University of Tokyo in 1986. In this episode, Lindquist explains what AHCC actually is, how its manufacturing process makes it fundamentally different from any other mushroom product on the market, and why the clinical research behind it is unusually robust for a supplement. The mechanism that makes AHCC interesting is that it doesn't just boost the immune system indiscriminately. It modulates it. For healthy individuals with normal NK cell counts, it doesn't artificially raise them. For people dealing with HPV, cancerous tumors, or autoimmune conditions where the immune system needs more information, it does. This adaptogenic quality is why AHCC can support both an overactive immune response (as in autoimmune) and an underactive one (as in immune suppression from chronic illness or aging) without contradicting itself. I pushed back on this in the conversation because AHCC is a processed product that requires industrial manufacturing to produce, which doesn't fit neatly into an ancestral framework. Lindquist's response was honest: if we were living 100 years ago without microplastics, glyphosate in the rain, and the chronic stress loads of modern life, we probably wouldn't need it. But that's not the world we live in, and the thousands of testimonials she's received from people who had tried everything else and found relief with AHCC are hard to dismiss. Dosing is two capsules daily for general immune support, four for conditions like HPV, Lyme, or autoimmune, and six to eight for serious situations like tumors or advanced liver disease. Their product, Immune Intel AHCC, uses 750 milligrams per capsule with nothing else added. About Mimi Lindquist:  Meagan (Mimi) Lindquist is the co-founder of The Medicin, alongside her husband Chase. With her background as a clinical dental hygienist, culinary nutrition guide, and AHCC educator, she has been helping others prevent disease for over 12 years. Now, Mimi has dedicated herself entirely to sharing the benefits of Immune Intel AHCC, a mushroom supplement unlike any other, to as many people as possible.

The battlefield has changed — and according to Dr. Scott Perez, most people still don't fully understand how much pressure the human body is under in today's world. In this powerful conversation with Michael Jaco, Dr. Perez explains why modern life is creating an environment filled with chronic stress, toxic overload, weakened immunity, inflammation, and constant physical and psychological strain. From environmental exposure and poor nutrition to increasing biological stressors, many people are running on depleted systems without even realizing it. That's why the focus of this episode is simple:

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to healthy living Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Peptides, LifeWave Patches, Spore Based Probiotics, and the Microbiome  [00:00:00] Intro & Health News Ed notes Target will remove artificial colors from all cereals within two months. Promotion of Chattanooga Fitness / Bodybuilding event on July 11 featuring bodybuilding legend Lee Haney; Ed training for his 4th year of competition at nearly age 69. Ed introduces a new olive oil at Nutrition World: Firma Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Tanzania). Comparison with Life Extension olive oil: Tested very high in anti-inflammatory polyphenols. New Tanzanian oil is about $10 cheaper while comparable in health benefits. Reminder of chronic inflammation as a root of many diseases. [00:04:00] Peptides, Educational Resources & Holistic Navigator Mention of peptide expert Noel Lawson, recently on the show. Brief explanation: peptides as specific amino acid chains that can influence healing, sexual function, fat loss, sleep, etc. Ed promotes his ebooks at TheHolisticNavigator.com, including: Immune system (prevention + “what to do when you feel sick now”). Oxalates and joint/muscle pain & stiffness. Sleep, oral hygiene, and how to use AI for health/fitness and weight loss. Clint mentions a large back catalog of podcasts on topics like leaky gut, bone health, pet health, brain fog, etc. [00:06:13] Segment Transition to LifeWave Patches Ed previews two guests for the day: Myra from LifeWave patches. Mary from Just Thrive (spore-based probiotics). [00:13:10] LifeWave Light-Activated Patches – Concept & Mechanism (Myra) Ed introduces Myra from LifeWave Key concepts explained: Patches are non-transdermal (no drugs/nutrients enter the body). They reflect the body's own low-level infrared light back into the body. Inside the patch is a proprietary lattice of amino acids, salts, sugars, and water. This reflected light is tuned (patented wavelengths) to elevate certain peptides or affect specific systems. Elevates GHK-Cu (copper peptide), which is associated with “master cells” (stem-cell–like function) that can contribute to repair of various tissues. LifeWave has about 10 different patches, including: X39: flagship patch for overall regeneration, wound healing, energy, mental clarity, sleep. X49: supports performance, recovery, and bone density Placement & wear-time: Common points: back of neck at C7 or below the navel, often aligned with acupuncture points used in studies. For pain, you can place patches directly around the painful area (e.g., Myra using several patches around a sore knee). Typical protocol: 12 hours on, 12 hours off to avoid attenuation (body getting “used to” constant stimulation). Hydration and electrolytes (e.g., Celtic sea salt) recommended to support electrical signaling. Duration to notice effects: Most people notice differences within 30–90 days. General rule of thumb: 1 month of consistent use for every decade of age (e.g., ~5–6 months at age 50–60). [00:29:37] LifeWave Events, Website & Research Myra: LifeWave patches are intended to help bring the body back toward homeostasis, with the body doing the actual work. Ed notes there is published research on the patches (not just anecdote). Upcoming in-person event: LifeWave info session at Nutrition World Wellness Corner, June 27th , 10:00 am Resources: Website: WhyTheLight.com Myra's contact: 423-362-7227 for questions. [00:34:37] Just Thrive Probiotics (Mary) Introduces Mary from Just Thrive, a highly vetted brand at Nutrition World. Introduces key concept: spore-based probiotics, which behave differently than standard probiotics. Spore-based probiotics: bacteria with a natural protective shell (spore coat). This shell allows them to survive stomach acid and pH changes through the GI tract. Most conventional probiotics are fragile and often do not survive to the intestines, even with enteric coatings. Just Thrive's spore-based strains show 100% survivability to the intestines in clinical testing—everything on the label reaches the gut. High-level explanation of how Just Thrive works: If harmful or overgrown species are present, spores “sit next to” them and produce compounds to push them down. If beneficial species are low, spores produce “superfood-like” compounds to feed and boost them. Balancer of the microbiome, rather than just adding random strains. Leaky gut linkage: An imbalanced microbiome is a key root cause of leaky gut. Glyphosate (Roundup) acts like an antibiotic in the microbiome, driving dysbiosis and leaky gut. Antibiotics & repopulation: One antibiotic round can wipe out ~90% of gut bacteria. Without support, it can take 1 month to 2 years to rebuild from the remaining 10%. A clinical study: 1 capsule/day of Just Thrive led to a 10–100x increase in beneficial bacteria in 28 days, dramatically speeding recovery. Use with colonoscopy preps: Ed suggests starting spores before and continuing after aggressive gut-cleansing procedures to re-establish balance. Sensitivity / die-off: Some users may experience transient discomfort (gas, bloating, die-off). Strategy: start with ¼ to ½ capsule, even every other day, and titrate up to a full capsule as tolerated.   [00:48:12] Immune System, IBS, and “Gut as Central Axis” 70–90% of the immune system is in or around the gut; thus: A balanced microbiome is a foundation for immune health. Just Thrive data suggest benefits for IBS-like symptoms and immune dysfunction Mary uses an analogy: The digestive tract runs down the middle of the body and influences everything—so microbiome balance is a core foundation for overall health. Ed reinforces that you cannot be healthy with chronic leaky gut, and spores occupy a unique role that other probiotic forms cannot fill. Website: JustThriveHealth.com for more information.   [00:55:59] Iron, Coffee/Tea, and Gout Ed shares research summarized by Dr. Michael Greger (NutritionFacts.org) on iron absorption and coffee/tea: A cup of coffee with a hamburger reduced iron absorption by ~39%. Tea reduced iron absorption by ~64%. Taking vitamin C with the meal can counteract the inhibitory effect on iron absorption. Potential therapeutic angle for gout: Some data suggest lowering iron via coffee consumption reduced gout attacks. In one report, gout attacks markedly diminished in every participant, from complete remission to major reduction, with no widespread anemia. Ed recommends: Testing iron and ferritin (e.g., via Be Well Labs / BeginWithLabs.com). Considering strategic use of coffee/tea and vitamin C depending on whether someone's iron is too high or too low.  The post Radio Show / Podcast – May 24, 2026 first appeared on Vital Health Radio.

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Brett Terhaar, technical services veterinarian with Elanco Animal Health. This episode of Have You Herd is sponsored by Elanco Animal Health, manufacturers of Nuplura PH+5 vaccines. Managing risk of disease in the spring for newborn calves is an important part of consulting for our beef cattle clients. Terhaar suggests that we must first manage husbandry, nutrition and colostrum programs to ensure calves have the best immune system and health to prevent disease. Timing of vaccines is also an important component of managing disease risk in the spring. Veterinarians should consult with producers to evaluate their vaccination protocols and pay attention to timing and the number of antigens presented to the calf. Immune response to vaccinations requires a significant amount of energy from the calf. Veterinarians should also be aware of endotoxin load when designing vaccine protocols for producers. Endotoxin can have a negative effect on the health of the calf and its ability to appropriately respond to vaccines during a disease challenge. Terhaar reviews how this can impact calf health and management of disease. Find out more information from Elanco Animal Health by visiting this link. Information about Nuplura PH+5 can be found here or contact your Elanco representative. 

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 5-21-2026: This is the second show featuring Mira Achilles, a UCSC graduate working on her masters in epidemiology. Dr. Dawn and Mira open with a Harvard study showing OpenAI's o1 reasoning model reached correct diagnoses 67% of the time versus 50-55% for physicians, and scored 89% versus 34% on treatment plans. The AI advantage shrinks when doctors get more data and time, suggesting its greatest value is in fast-moving triage. Dr. Dawn cautions that over-reliance on AI during residency could undermine the clinical reasoning neurologic pathways doctors must develop, and emphasizes the "zebra paradox"— rare diseases remain rare even when symptoms match the textbook. Dr. Dawn shares a personal case of a patient with throat shingles, leading her to use a medical AI (OpenEvidence) to investigate Shingrix risks. An Australian study found an elevenfold increase in shingles within 21 days of the first Shingrix dose in adults over 65, though dose two reduced overall risk by 73%. She explains this could be one of several things such as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), or that the AS01B vaccine adjuvant's strong activation may transiently reactivate latent virus, and recommends valacyclovir prophylaxis for high-risk patients for their first Shringrex shot.. Mira discusses AI in education, noting the shift from professors threatening plagiarism charges to teaching students how to critique AI output, emphasizing taking summaries "with a grain of salt." Dr. Dawn describes Chinese research scanning 1,154 children that identified a third ADHD subtype—severe emotional dysregulation—showing 45 abnormal brain regions versus 26 in the inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive types, with standard stimulants working poorly for this group. She connects this to traditional psychiatric personality disorder classifications and A discussion of vagus nerve stimulation's emerging applications for autoimmune conditions. Dr. Dawn and Mira discuss menstruation and bodily autonomy, then describe the Somedays period pain simulator that uses electrical impulses to let men experience menstrual cramps, highlighting differing pain thresholds. An emailer references a Radiolab episode about deliberate hookworm infection to treat asthma and allergies. Dr. Dawn explains parasites release immunosuppressants to survive, including anti-inflammatory protein-2 (AIP) now in drug development, which stimulates T-regulatory cells and IL-10 while "alarmins" inhibit lung inflammation—though this increases vulnerability to new infections. A caller with H. pylori and frequent viral infections asks whether S. boulardii and reuteri probiotics are safe given her low immunity. Dr. Dawn explains immunosuppression warnings target transplant-level drug suppression, not a tendency toward viruses like hers. Dr. Dawn thinks that her near-zero natural killer cells explain frequent infections, and suggests that the H. pylori test given her absence of symptoms, may be an incidental bystander rather than the cause of her low ferritin, which suggests bleeding. In medical news of the weird, Dr. Dawn describes Baby Cassian, diagnosed in utero with congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS), who was partially removed from the womb at 25 weeks for airway surgery, returned, and born again at 31 weeks—leading to a discussion of microsurgery and how specialties partition by the physical scale of the surgery rather the location or type of structure.

Episode 148: Bladder Cancer Awareness: Why "Invincible" Athletes Aren't Immune by Steven Frey

The gut-immune axis is one of the most important and most overlooked systems in human health. In this episode of Revolution Health Radio, Chris explains how the gut microbiome, intestinal barrier, and immune system work together to regulate inflammation and protect against disease. Learn how disruptions in gut health, driven by ultra-processed foods, environmental toxins, antibiotics, and chronic stress, can lead to intestinal permeability, chronic immune activation, and a wide range of conditions including autoimmune disease, skin disorders, respiratory illness, and metabolic dysfunction. Chris also breaks down the latest research on key compounds that support gut and immune health, including probiotics, prebiotics, butyrate, polyphenols, colostrum, lactoferrin, and beta glucan. Discover how targeted nutrition and lifestyle strategies can restore gut integrity, improve immune resilience, and address the root cause of chronic illness.

Dr. Tony Ebel takes a deep dive into one of the most important — and most overlooked — root causes behind chronic childhood illness: dysautonomia. He breaks down what dysautonomia actually is, how it connects seemingly unrelated symptoms across the gut, immune system, brain, and body, and why the conventional medical model of siloed specialists keeps so many families stuck without real answers. Using the real-life case of patient Connor — a young athlete who went from mysterious fevers, rashes, and inflammation to thriving — Dr. Tony shows exactly how Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care targets dysautonomia at its root. He also walks through the INSiGHT scanning technology used to measure and map dysautonomia, and sends every parent home with one powerful truth: it may not be 57 different problems. It may be one.-----Links & Resources:Register for the FREE Resilient Family Summit: thepxdocs.com/familyConnor's Success Story: Read hereLearn more about the INSiGHT Scans here: https://pxdocs.com/nervous-system/insight-scans/-----Key Moments:03:30 How Dysautonomia Connects Gut, Immune, Brain, and Body Dysfunction 07:00 Connor's Story: Fevers, Rashes, and a Kid Who Wasn't Himself 10:00 Four Specialists in Three Weeks and Still No Answers 17:00 The Air Traffic Control Analogy: What Dysautonomia Actually Is 21:00 How Dysautonomia Showed Up Across Connor's Entire Body 25:00 Why the Medical System Loses the Forest for the Trees 31:00 The INSiGHT Scans: Measuring and Mapping Dysautonomia 39:00 Connor's Update and How to Take Action-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocsFacebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs NetworkYoutube: The PX DocsFor more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.Find a PX Doc Office near me: PX DOCS DirectoryTo watch Dr. Tony's 30 min Perfect Storm Webinar: Click Here

George Stark from the Cleveland Clinic reflects on his early training in biochemistry and how several sabbatical leaves sparked pivotal changes in his research trajectory, eventually drawing him to interferon signaling where he helped establish the core principles of the JAK–STAT pathway and uncovered interesting roles for interferon signaling in cancer.

The autonomic nervous system was supposed to be beyond your control, medicine said so for decades. Wim Hof proved them wrong, and the data is now published in some of the most prestigious peer-reviewed journals on the planet. In this episode, I'm with the “Iceman” to unpack how breathwork triggers a respiratory alkalosis that activates the adrenal axis, suppresses cytokine storms, and enhances glymphatic brain waste clearance by up to 800%!
