Welcome to the latest Midlife Minute. I've been getting many questions about viruses, bacterial vaginosis, and recurrent infections. So, today, I'm stepping a little outside our usual topics to explore how changes in the gut microbiome can directly influence the vaginal microbiome. Join me as I clarify what actually happens in the body during perimenopause and menopause, and explain why those shifts matter more than most women realize. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Three changes that occur simultaneously during perimenopause and menopause, and how those changes increase our susceptibility to viruses like herpes. Why declining estrogen weakens the vaginal microbiome How gut microbiome changes in midlife affect the ability to recycle estrogen via the estrobolome Why the gut barrier becomes less stable and more permeable during perimenopause and menopause, and how that can trigger immune responses and low-grade inflammation How hormonal fluctuations can trigger viral outbreaks and increase the likelihood of shingles What research shows about hormone replacement therapy and lower rates and recurrence of severe herpes simplex infections Why bacterial vaginosis is becoming more common in midlife How to balance and support the gut and vaginal microbiome in midlife Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website.

View This Week's Show NotesStart Your 7-Day Trial to Mobility CoachJoin Our Free Weekly Newsletter: The AmbushWhat if the biggest thing holding your health back isn't what you're doing, but how you're thinking about it? Most of us have been trained to see the body in silos: diagnose the problem, treat the symptom, move on. But what if that model is missing the bigger picture?In this episode of The Ready State Podcast, Dr. Jeffrey Bland – widely recognized as the father of functional medicine – joins Juliet and Kelly Starrett to unpack a more complete, systems-based approach to health. From a simple (and surprisingly accessible) blood test that can reveal your inflammatory status, to the real role of inflammation as both a healing response and a hidden driver of chronic disease, this conversation challenges everything you thought you knew about “being healthy.”Dr. Bland also shares the deeply personal story that reshaped his entire career and led him to question conventional medicine's focus on downstream symptoms instead of root causes.You'll walk away understanding why everyday choices – like sugar intake, sleep, stress, and even your sense of self-agency – play a far bigger role in longevity than most people realize. Because at the end of the day, health is something you actively create.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy chronic inflammation is both a healing response and a hidden driver of diseaseHow a standard blood test (CBC) can reveal your body's inflammatory stateThe difference between treating symptoms vs. addressing root causes (upstream vs. downstream health)Why your body is a system – and not a set of isolated problems to fixHow everyday habits like sugar intake, stress, and sleep quietly accelerate agingKey Highlights: (0:00) Intro & Teaser Clips(0:35) Introducing Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Father of Functional Medicine(3:11) Dr. Bland Joins the Show / Earth Day Connection(3:50) How Dr. Bland's Career Began in 1970(7:33) What's Most Urgent for People to Understand About Health Today(9:13) Systems Thinking vs. Siloed Medicine(12:43) A Seismic Life Event That Changed Everything(15:19) Finding Purpose After Tragedy — The Birth of a Mission(17:35) Origins of the Term "Functional Medicine"(19:03) Functional Medicine in The Lancet — 1874(31:15) Understanding Good vs. Chronic Inflammation(38:30) The Ibuprofen Epidemic in Youth Athletes(39:59) The Functional Medicine Model: Antecedents, Triggers & Mediators(42:47) Big Bold Health & Testing for Inflammaging(43:33) The CBC with Differential — A $6 Test Everyone Already Has(45:08) The SIRI Index — Calculating Your Inflammatory Status(46:25) Immune Cells Renew Every 90–120 Days(56:03) The 850-Person Clinical Trial on Food & Immune Health(56:56) Tartary Buckwheat — A 3,500-Year-Old Immune Superfood(1:02:57) The Healthcare System Isn't Working — A Seismic Change Is Coming(1:08:13) Rapid Fire: Blue Zones & Eating a Rainbow of Polyphenols(1:09:47) The #1 Lever for Aging Well — Starting With How You See Yourself(1:10:56) Where to Find Dr. Jeff Bland & Closing ThoughtsHuge thanks to our sponsors, Kreatures of Habit, LMNT, and Momentous.

In this episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I'm joined by Anna Marie Frank to talk about how to activate your body's “inner pharmacy” — the powerful internal system designed to support healing, energy, metabolism, mental clarity, and longevity.Modern lifestyles filled with stress, toxins, processed foods, poor sleep, and chronic inflammation can disrupt the body's natural ability to function optimally. Anna Marie and I explain how your body is constantly producing its own healing chemicals, hormones, antioxidants, and repair mechanisms when given the right support.You'll learn practical strategies to naturally activate these powerful systems through nutrition, mindset, detoxification, movement, nervous system regulation, and cellular support.If you've been searching for natural ways to improve your energy, support your immune system, reduce inflammation, balance hormones, and optimize your health from the inside out, this episode is for you.

Optimizing Health Span: Longevity, Inflammation, and Immune Resilience with Dr. Robert SilvermanIn this special look-back episode, we're revisiting a conversation originally released in 2023 with Dr. Robert Silverman on one of the most important topics in modern healthcare: health span. While this episode was recorded during an earlier phase of the longevity conversation, the core themes remain highly relevant today. In Part 1, Dr. Silverman breaks down the difference between lifespan and health span, why chronic disease continues to shorten quality of life for so many patients, and why clinicians need to think more broadly about the systems that influence long-term vitality, resilience, and recovery.Together, we explore the role of immune resilience, inflammation, the microbiome, mitochondrial health, fascia, vagus nerve tone, muscle mass, and metabolic signaling in healthy aging. Dr. Silverman also shares the biomarkers and clinical concepts he believes deserve more attention when evaluating chronic disease risk, biological aging, and overall patient function.This episode is a valuable revisit for providers who want to think beyond symptom management and better understand the foundations of long-term health and performance. Whether you're hearing it for the first time or coming back to it with fresh ears, Part 1 sets the stage for a deeper conversation around what it really takes to help patients live longer — and live better.Key Themes in Today's Episode:The difference between lifespan and health span — and why both matter in clinical practiceWhy immune resilience may be one of the most important drivers of longevityBiomarkers Dr. Silverman watches when evaluating inflammation, metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, and gut permeability

On this episode, Jared introduces one of the most overlooked yet powerful herbs for supporting immune balance, inflammatory response, and overall resilience - Andrographis. Unlike typical “immune boosters,” andrographis works at a deeper, systems level—helping regulate how your immune system responds day to day. You'll learn how this traditional Ayurvedic herb supports healthy immune signaling, promotes balanced inflammatory pathways, and may be especially helpful for those dealing with chronic stress, immune imbalance, or lingering recovery issues. Jared also breaks down dosing and how to choose the right formula for your needs. If you're looking for foundational immune support rather than quick fixes, this episode will help you understand when andrographis fits—and when it doesn't.Products:Terry Naturally EP-80 Extra StrengthSolaray Andrographis ExtractTerry Naturally Andrographis & AshwagandhaVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Founder and President of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and President of Big Bold Health.

Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Founder and President of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and President of Big Bold Health, is described as the “godfather of functional medicine.” He details the origins of functional medicine as a systems-biology, root-cause approach emphasizing diet, lifestyle, and supplements alongside conventional allopathic care, especially for chronic disease. Bland contrasts medication “number needed to treat” examples (statins and TNF-alpha blockers) with personalized lifestyle interventions, noting adherence challenges. He discusses GLP-1 weight-loss drugs as a major pharmacologic advance but raises concerns about long-term effects, discontinuation rates, side effects, and inadequate nutrition if food intake drops. Bland describes research on bitter compounds and gut “taste” receptors influencing GLP-1 and related hormones, links to Blue Zone diets, and introduces Big Bold Health's Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat and minimally processed, sustainably sourced fish oil products, the Omega-3 index, and targeted formulations with lutein/astaxanthin, plus ongoing clinical trials on immune aging and gene expression.

In this episode of the Innovations and Clinical Implementation podcast, hosts Jessica Carter and Dr. Chris D'Adamo interview Dr. Jill Carnahan, a functional medicine physician internationally recognized for treating complex chronic illnesses, about the critical role of beta glucans in immune resilience – which she champions as the foundation of longevity. Dr. Carnahan, discusses the importance of using high-purity beta glucans, profiling BWH Labs' flagship product, and details their use in treating complex conditions like Lyme disease, Bartonella, and cancer where the immune system is often suppressed. The conversation also covers emerging research linking beta-glucan supplementation to improved mental health scores (anxiety and depression) and its mechanism as a binder in detoxification pathways for removing environmental toxins. Finally, Dr. Carnahan underscores that while lifestyle factors like sleep and movement are foundational, beta-glucans serve as a crucial tool for "waking up" sluggish T-cells and Natural Killer cells to fight aging and chronic illness.

In this episode, Lucas Aoun sits down with Mimi from The Medicin to unpack one of the most underrated immune compounds in human health: AHCC (Active Hexose Correlated Compound). AHCC has been quietly used in clinical settings for decades, yet most people still associate immune support with vitamin C, zinc, or mushrooms, missing what the human data on AHCC actually shows. This conversation cuts through the hype and focuses on human evidence, mechanisms, and practical application, making it essential listening for anyone serious about immune optimization, longevity, or performance-based health.Relevant Links:https://www.themedicin.com/ Check Out My Website For Coaching, Recommended Products and Much More:https://www.boostyourbiology.com/ Disclaimer:The information provided in this podcast episode is for entertainment purposes and is NOT MEDICAL ADVICE.

On social media, the vagus nerve often gets billed as the gateway to nervous system nirvana: It's your ticket to better rest, relaxation, and health if you “stimulate” it correctly. Where did this idea come from, and what does the research say?  Host Flora Lichtman talks with neurosurgeon Kevin Tracey, a pioneer of a field called bioelectronic medicine, which uses techniques to stimulate the nervous system with electricity. Back in the 1990s, he was the first to discover that the vagus nerve regulates the immune system and inflammation. Guest: Dr. Kevin Tracey is a neurosurgeon, and president and CEO of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research at Northwell Health. He is the author of The Great Nerve.

I am very excited to bring you Part 2 of my conversation with clinical nutritionist and co-founder of Hamptons BioMed, Tapp Francke. In last week's episode, we talked about learning about your own body's “terrain,” focusing on vitamins, nutrients, the gut biome, genetics, and how testing can guide smarter supplement choices and better overall health. In Part 2, we explore the environmental factors that quietly shape our health. Everyday exposures — including plastic, fragrance, EMFs, blue light, mold, and processed foods — can influence hormones, immune function, biological aging, and long-term resilience. Tapp explains why what we absorb through our skin and environment matters just as much as what we eat, and how small, practical changes can reduce ongoing stress on the body. This episode completely changed how I think about food, fragrance, water, and the environment I move through every day. It's not about eliminating everything or doing it “perfectly,” but about becoming more aware of what our bodies are constantly absorbing — and how small changes can add up to meaningful long-term impact.Hosted on Ausha.

In this episode, Regan Archibald breaks down why emotional health isn't “soft”—it's biochemical. He introduces the EPIC triggers (Emotions, Pain, Infections, Chemicals) and focuses on how emotions leave a measurable chemical trail that can either support health or accelerate inflammation. Using examples like anger increasing inflammatory signaling (including IL-6) and gratitude/joy supporting nitric oxide and vascular function, Regan explains how repeated emotional patterns can rewire the brain, shape immune behavior, and even override diet, exercise, and supplements if left unmanaged. The takeaway: practice the pause, choose your response, and build gratitude and connection on purpose. Consistency in emotional regulation can shift physiology toward resilience, recovery, and better long-term health.RESOURCES:Book Comprehensive Labs: https://agelessfuture.com/longevity-labs/FREE copy of The Peptide Blueprint: https://agelessfuture.com/blueprintSign up for future Health Accelerator Challenges calls LIVE! https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YZsiUMOzSyqcE8IinC5YEQ#/registrationBooks: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Regan-Archibald/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ARegan%2BArchibaldArticles: https://medium.com/search?q=Regan+ArchibaldLIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.FutureLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-archibald-ab70b813Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.  Many of the molecules discussed in this video are research compounds and are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for any specific medical use, indication, or condition.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared sits down with returning guest Jamie Cotter, national educator for WishGarden Herbs, to break down immunity in a way that actually makes sense. Instead of treating the immune system as a one-size-fits-all problem, Jamie explains the four distinct phases of immunity—daily immune maintenance, early onset, active illness, and recovery—and why each phase benefits from a different herbal strategy. You'll learn how tonic herbs support baseline immune resilience, why timing and dosing matter when symptoms first appear, and how targeted herbal formulas can support the body during active immune challenges and lingering recovery phases. This episode empowers listeners to better understand their own immune responses and make informed choices about herbal support, seasonal wellness routines, and immune preparedness—without fear, hype, or guesswork.Products Discussed:Daily ImmuneKick-Ass ImmuneSerious V-FighterDeep LungKick-Ass BioticGet Over It!Buy 4 or more Wishgarden products from HERE and get 25% off through March 7, 2026!Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Shohei Ohtani is redefining what it means to be a baseball player in real time, and we're all witnesses. However, that greatness doesn't come from talent alone…as Shohei Ohtani is widely recognized for his meticulous data-driven attention to holistic health management and his commitment to maintaining peak performance. But let me tell you something from recent experience…I don't care if you're one of baseball's most remarkable players or simply some business strategist yapping online to you right now, there isn't anybody “immune” from needing to rebuild just about every routine after becoming a father. Though, what can we learn from recent decisions by Shohei Ohtani in his first offseason after becoming a father? Shohei Ohtani is placing a greater importance on immune care…and entrusting supplements powered by IMMUSE, a unique, patented postbiotic from Kirin Group that has been clinically shown to stimulates multiple types of immune cells for more comprehensive support.

Dr. Erin Stokes realized her passion and skill for education early in her career.  Shortly after launching her naturopathic practice in Boulder, Colorado, she became an instructor at Southwest Acupuncture College.  She also worked as a Lead Practitioner at Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy providing one-on-one integrative health consultations. Through her different roles as Director of Education and Medical Director over the last 13 years, Dr. Erin has emerged as a media spokesperson, with a unique ability to translate technical knowledge, combined with an engaging personal style. As Medical Director at WishGarden,  Dr. Erin Stokes is energized about finding new and effective ways to help share the power of herbalism to improve people's lives and is a frequent podcast and TV guest.

That's why I love working with herbal allies that support the nervous system, immune system, and sleep naturally, instead of forcing or overriding the body. These three legendary blends from WishGarden Herbs are ones I personally trust and come back to again and again: Deep Stress Daily Calm is my go-to when life feels relentless. Chronic stress impacts hormones, immunity, energy, and mood — not just mentally, but physically. This blend features ashwagandha and nourishing nervine herbs that help calm the stress response both in the moment and over time. It supports healthier cortisol patterns, steadier energy, improved sleep quality, and a more balanced mood — helping the body shift out of constant high gear and back into regulation. When stress shows up as a racing mind at night, Sleepy Nights & Fresh Mornings is such a gentle yet powerful support. I love that it's formulated without melatonin, valerian, or kava, so it supports natural sleep rhythms without dependency or morning grogginess. Whether taken before bed or during unwanted night wakings, it helps calm the mind so the body can settle into deeper, more restorative sleep. And when you start to feel that familiar "something's coming on" feeling, Kick-Ass Immune Activator is what I reach for. This fast-acting blend supports immune and respiratory health right when the body needs it most — helping you respond early instead of waiting until you're already depleted. Because supporting your immune system proactively makes a massive difference. What I love most about WishGarden Herbs is that their formulas are USDA Certified Organic, non-GMO, gluten-free, vegan, and crafted to work with the body's innate intelligence. These aren't quick fixes — they're true herbal allies. Discover the natural power of WishGarden Herbs' legendary blends and save 20% on your order with code NOSUGARCOATING.

Do you notice your mood dip, energy crash, or motivation fade as the days get shorter? Do winter colds seem harder to shake? Tune in as we unpack Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and why seasonal changes can have a very real impact on both mental health and immune resilience. In this episode, we highlight key nutrients that support mood, stress response, and immune function, especially during fall and winter. We walk through the physiology behind seasonal mood changes—light exposure, neurotransmitters, inflammation, and circadian rhythm—and share practical food-as-medicine and supplement strategies you can actually implement.

In this episode, Dr. Jockers and Dr. Chris D'Adamo break down how your immune system learns, adapts, and strengthens over time—and why beta-glucan is one of the most researched natural compounds for resilience. You'll hear how immune modulation, not just stimulation, can keep you healthy through stress, seasonal shifts, and everyday exposures.   You'll learn how gut health, stress hormones, and immune function are deeply connected, and why improving your stress tolerance starts with lowering inflammation and supporting your microbiome. Dr. D'Adamo explains the science behind cortisol, trained immunity, and the role beta-glucan plays in balancing your system long before symptoms appear.   You'll also discover why immune aging may be one of the biggest drivers of biological aging—and how supporting your innate defenses can influence longevity, energy, and mood. Throughout the conversation, you'll pick up practical strategies you can start using today to strengthen immunity in a real, sustainable way.   In This Episode:  00:00 Introduction to Beta-Glucan and Cancer Research 00:37 Training Your Immune System 01:23 Beta-Glucan: Sources and Benefits 05:48 Interview with Dr. Chris D'Adamo: Immune System Focus 08:07 Beta-Glucan and Immune Modulation 09:44 Cold and Flu Season: Immune System Tips 11:24 Beta-Glucan and Biological Aging 17:45 Beta-Glucan Dosage and Usage 20:23 Personal Immune System Strategies 22:55 Trained Immunity and Beta-Glucan 25:14 Beta-Glucan and Cortisol Reduction 30:05 The Role of Beta-Glucan in Detoxification 33:07 Supplements and Modern Toxicity 34:45 Beta-Glucan for Kids 36:26 Exciting Research on Immune Health 39:17 Daily Habits for a Strong Immune System 42:12 The Benefits of Sauna and Cold Exposure 47:10 Choosing the Right Beta-Glucan Supplement 48:28 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Hydration is one of the fastest ways to boost your energy, sharpen your focus, curb cravings, and even improve the look and feel of your skin — but water alone isn't enough.

Send us a textI released a free training that shares the 4 steps I use to help clients reduce eczema, inflammation, and food-reaction symptoms by 50%+ in a few months — without restriction or overwhelm. Watch here: christabiegler.com/blueprintThis week, I'm breaking down the simplest, most practical steps I use with clients to spot mold issues and support cleaner indoor air. After talking with naturopathic oncologist Michael Robinson (his new episode airs next week), I was reminded how foundational air and water quality are for immune resilience and cancer prevention. Mold is far more common than most people realize, and with a few inexpensive tools and a calm, empowered approach, you can get a clearer picture of what's happening in your home and your body.KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Mold symptoms can look like skin issues, sinus congestion, yeast, or frequent illness • Stress can reactivate old mold exposures • Check water areas for bubbling floors, stains, or separating walls or baseboards • Use humidity meters in bathrooms and the kitchen • Fans and fast drying prevent many issues • Thermal guns help spot cold or moisture areas • ERMI dust testing is better than air samples • Supporting your nervous system helps immune recovery • I upgraded to Jaspr for stronger filtration and cleaner air⚡Jaspr Air Scrubber Commercial-grade, steel-built, and filters 5× more than typical purifiers. Removes 100% airborne mold (per their testing) in 3 hours and may reduce snoring and throat clearing. $799 ($400 off) with code “lessstressed” through 12/1, then it goes back to $200 off.Episodes Mentioned:245 I split tested urine mycotoxins (mold) and here are my results with Christa317 Environmental Mold Remediation with Michael Rubino, Founder of HomeCleanse334 Mold Remediation Made Easier with Dr. Emily Kiberd336 DIY Mold Inspection & New Construction (Part 2) with Michael Rubino355 Air Quality After Floods and Fires with Mike FeldsteinCLICK HERE for more mold episodes! ❓Question for Christa?

David Ewing Duncan has spent the last 25 years being poked and prodded in the name of science. He's signed up for hundreds of tests because, as a journalist, he writes about emerging health breakthroughs. He says one recent test contains more useful data than anything he's seen to date. He talks to host Emily Kwong about his score on the Immune Health Metric, which was developed by immunologist John Tsang. Together, David and John explain why immune health is so central to overall health and how a simple blood test could one day predict disease before it starts.Learn more about the Human Immunome Project.Read David's full article about his experience with the Immune Health Metric.
