Join Patreon to learn about how minerals impact digestion and basic supports for your gut!What if you could heal your gut without stool testing or protocols?In this episode, I map a simple path that doesn't require labs or fancy add-ons. You're going to learn four specific areas that anyone can use to heal their gut for good (and none of them are pills). The real blocker is the common state many people are in that shuts down digestion and irritates the gut lining. There are small timing tweaks that get your digestive juices to show up when they're supposed to, and things to change first so symptoms don't boomerang a few months later. This episode will make you re-think everything you knew about gut health.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[04:20] What actually causes symptoms to come back after a ‘gut protocol'[08:01] The reason your gut still struggles even when you ‘eat clean'[26:21] The simple timing shift that gets your digestive juices working again[40:05] Why blood sugar swings mess with your microbiome[48:53] The overlooked body system that keeps your gut detoxing properly[54:59] The most important thing to think about when the goal is to repair your gut long termResources Mentioned:Holistic Healing for Nina-Marie Rueda | BookBon Charge | Website (use code HHRD for a 15% off discount)RA Optics | WebsiteViva Rays | Website (use code HHRD for a discount)Spectra 479 | GlassesSleep ZM | GlassesPaleo Valley Essential Electrolytes | Website (use code HORMONEHEALINGRD10)Hormone Healing podcast episode Intro to Lymph Flow with Leah | Listen Now Hormone Healing podcast episode How To Have Healthy Digestion | Listen NowLearn about helpful nutrition habits, the different phases of your cycle, how to track, signs of good metabolic health, and so much more in my Free Healthy Period Starter Guide.Find more from Amanda:Hormone Healing RD | InstagramHormone Healing RD | WebsiteHormone Healing RD | FacebookHormone Healing RD | YouTubeHormone Healing RD | TikTok

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explore the science of gratitude and how to develop an effective, research-supported gratitude practice. I explain why common gratitude practices (like simply listing things you're grateful for) are far less impactful than engaging in story-based gratitude practices. I also explain how being grateful activates specific brain regions, which enhance calm, social connection and motivation, while reducing anxiety and inflammation. Finally, I share why we can't simply trick our brains into feeling grateful and describe a practical weekly gratitude practice that will improve both your mental and physical well-being.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Tania Dempsey.
Many challenging medical conditions defy treatment and challenge clinicians to come up with innovative solutions—Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, fibromyalgia, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS), Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and autoimmune conditions; add now the growing burden of patients with Long Covid and vaccine injury. Dr. Tania Dempsey specializes in treating these complicated chronic disorders. She has embraced and advanced a new paradigm based on addressing Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). What is MCAS? How is it differentiated from ordinary allergies, and why are its symptoms so pervasive? What are its causes and triggers? What role for low-histamine diets? Antihistamines? Other novel medications? What nutritional supplements can facilitate its resolution? How does recognition of the contribution of MCAS facilitate treatment of patients suffering from Long Covid and vaccine injuries?

In this episode of Growing Older Living Younger, Dr. Gillian Lockitch speaks with Dr. Bruce Gillis about chronic immune system disorders such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, interstitial cystitis, and long COVID. Dr. Gillis shares how his research overturned decades of stigma by proving these conditions are objectively measurable through immune system testing and DNA genomic signatures. The conversation explores the role of epigenetics in disease development, the link between coronaviruses and long COVID, and the discovery of a microbiome-modulating compound that reduces symptoms. Listeners will gain validation, clarity, and practical insights into how accurate diagnosis and targeted therapies can improve quality of life. Dr. Bruce Gillis is a physician-scientist and public health expert whose career spans clinical medicine, research, and academic leadership. After earning his MD from the University of Illinois College of Medicine and his MPH from the Harvard School of Public Health, he completed two residencies and two fellowships before joining the faculty at Harvard Medical School, UCLA, and the University of Illinois. His early work focused on environmental health and toxic exposures, including oversight of the Alaskan oil spill cleanup and aerospace medicine projects. Dr. Gillis later turned his focus to chronic immune system disorders such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, interstitial cystitis, and long COVID. Through groundbreaking research, his team identified specific white blood cell dysfunctions and unique DNA genomic signatures that objectively prove fibromyalgia and related disorders are real, diagnosable conditions. He pioneered the development of the FibroTest, an FDA-reviewed diagnostic blood test now covered by Medicare and many insurers, and continues to study therapeutic compounds that support microbiome health and improve symptom management. Episode Timeline 00:00 – Welcome & Introduction Podcast focus on aging youthfully; Gillian introduces Dr. Gillis and chronic immune disorders. 05:51 – Dr. Gillis' Journey From rural upbringing to Harvard MD/MPH; work in environmental health, aerospace, and proving fibromyalgia is real. 08:44 – What Are Chronic Immune Disorders?

Ray's Healthy Tidbit about your immune system Episode 252
In this Ask Dr. Tony episode, Dr. Tony Ebel explores the neurological reasons behind children's hypersensitivity to pain and related immune system challenges. He explains how sympathetic dominance and vagus nerve suppression create a confusing presentation where kids may scream from minor scrapes but show no fever response when genuinely sick. Dr. Tony breaks down the connection between subluxation, dysautonomia, and sensory processing issues while providing hope through Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care. He also prepares parents for the "parasympathetic pendulum swing" - a necessary healing response where suppressed fever and detoxification systems come back online with intensity. This episode connects the dots between pain hypersensitivity, lack of fever response, and the body's natural healing mechanisms.-----Links & ResourcesHow Fever Supports the Body's Natural Healing Process-----Key Topics & Timestamps([00:01:00]) - Understanding Hypersensitivity to Pain and Sensory Issues([00:05:00]) - Sympathetic Dominance: The Root Cause of Pain Hypersensitivity([00:09:00]) - The Vagus Nerve Connection to Immune Function and Thermoregulation([00:13:00]) - How Natural Detoxification Systems Are Designed to Work([00:16:00]) - How Neurologically Focused Chiropractic Helps Reset the System([00:17:00]) - The Parasympathetic Pendulum Swing: What to Expect During Healing-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

In this episode of the Ageless Future Podcast, Cade Archibald explores a comprehensive, root-cause-based strategy for reversing chronic pain. He redefines pain as a neurological signal rather than a standalone diagnosis, emphasizing that inflammation, immune dysfunction, and nervous system dysregulation are often the true culprits. Cade presents a three-tiered protocol for healing: reducing inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 and TNF-alpha; resetting the nervous system through vagal tone stimulation, hormone balancing, and circadian rhythm alignment; and regenerating damaged tissue using stem cells, exosomes, and peptides such as BPC-157, KPV, and Thymosin Beta-4. He shares a success story of a patient who reversed osteoarthritis and chronic pain through this integrative protocol, resulting in medication freedom and improved lab markers. The episode concludes with a practical lifestyle challenge—encouraging listeners to choose one area (diet, stress, exercise, hydration, sleep, or recovery) to optimize and begin reducing systemic inflammation for long-term healing. www.agelessfuture.com

Back in the 1980s, when Shimon Sakaguchi was a young researcher in immunology, he found it difficult to get his research funded. Now, his pioneering work which explains how our immune system knows when and what to attack, has won him a Nobel prize.Sakaguchi, along with American researchers Mary Brunkow and Fred Ramsdell, were jointly awarded the 2025 Nobel prize in physiology or medicine for the work on regulatory T-cells, known as T-regs for short, a special class of immune cells which prevent our immune system from attacking our own body.In this episode Sakaguchi tells The Conversation about his journey of discovery and the potential treatments it could unlock.This episode was produced by Mend Mariwany, Katie Flood and Gemma Ware.

Episode 25:41 The (Natural) Autoimmune Solution It is estimated that nearly 50 million Americans suffer with an autoimmune disorder. Conditions such as Hashimoto's, Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis, Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriasis and Vitiligo. The cause, according to the medical profession, is unknown. I don't believe that. The treatment, according to the medical profession, focuses on drugs. Drugs such as Immunosuppressants, Anti-Inflammatories, Corticosteroids, and Pain killers. I don't agree with that. The mechanism of action is that the Immune System starts attacking healthy cells. I don't think that's correct. So, what do I think? THAT is what this episode is all about. The cause, treatment and mechanism of action regarding autoimmune disorders. It's an episode that will certainly ruffle some feathers while also shedding some light on an interesting subject. Be sure to give it a good listen… especially if you, or someone you know, suffers with an autoimmune disorder. And, as always, please share it with a friend. Thanks! ———————- Want to learn more?

In this episode, we break down how to support your immune system through smart nutrition practices - especially as cold and flu season ramps up. Brooke and Peyton share practical, evidence-based ways to strengthen your body's defenses, from vitamin D and antioxidants to omega-3s and probiotics. You'll learn which nutrients matter most, how hydration plays a bigger role than you might think, and why overdoing supplements (like mega-dosing certain vitamins and minerals) might actually backfire. Whether you're an athlete looking to stay healthy through training or just want to keep your family well this winter, this episode will help you fuel your immune system the right way.

Our immune systems are under more pressure than ever—from processed diets, environmental toxins, stress, and fast-spreading infections—and the result is faster aging and greater vulnerability to disease. As we grow older, “zombie cells” spread inflammation throughout the body, weakening defenses and accelerating decline. But research shows we're not powerless: the emerging science of immuno-rejuvenation reveals that we can retrain and rebuild our immunity. Through the right foods, lifestyle habits, and even strategic stressors, the body has hidden pathways for repair and renewal—offering clues to how we might slow aging and unlock greater resilience. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Elizabeth Boham and Dr. Roger Seheult, how we can support the immune system by using food, lifestyle, and hormetic stress to reduce illness and restore resilience while slowing aging. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women's Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. Dr. Roger Seheult is currently an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine, and an Assistant Clinical Professor at the School of Medicine and Allied Health at Loma Linda University. Dr. Seheult is quadruple board-certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Diseases, Critical Care Medicine, and Sleep Medicine through the American Board of Internal Medicine. His current practice is in Banning, California where he is a critical care physician, pulmonologist, and sleep physician at Beaver Medical Group.

Dr. Kristen Lynch is a Professor and Chair of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of Pennsylvania. Kristen's research focuses on alternative splicing. Her lab is investigating how cells decide when to use an entire portion of the DNA instruction manual versus when to exclude parts of the instructions that are not useful or would be harmful. In particular, Kristen is interested in alternative splicing in the immune system and what happens when cells are faced with an immune challenge. When she's not at work, Kristen loves being outdoors. She spends her free time kayaking, paddle boarding, biking, hiking, and doing yoga. She received her B.A. in biochemistry and her Ph.D. in biochemistry from Harvard University.
