Podcasts about Immune system

My guest is Dr. Melissa Ilardo, Ph.D., professor of biomedical informatics at the University of Utah. We discuss the interplay between genes and behaviors, including how certain behaviors can improve resilience by changing gene and organ function, as well as natural selection events happening in humans today. We also discuss the immune system–related reasons people find the smells of potential mates attractive—or not. We explore how physical and psychological traits are passed from one generation to the next, and the specific behaviors that can influence gene expression to improve health and performance. Melissa explains her lab's pioneering research on breath-hold training and how activation of the dive reflex through breath holding can significantly improve oxygen availability by changing spleen size and function. We also delve into the medical uses and ethics of gene editing to cure disease in both babies and adults. For those interested in genes and inheritance, human performance, immune system function, and natural selection, this episode illustrates the remarkable interplay between human nature and nurture.

In a world where chronic illness is skyrocketing and people are spending thousands on supplements and labs with little relief, what if we've been focusing on the wrong thing? In this episode, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Mel Hopper Koppelman, Program Director at Synthesis Health Lab, to talk about a radically different — and incredibly effective — approach to healing. Instead of chasing symptoms or optimizing labs, Mel focuses on repairing the foundation of the nervous system and working with the first principles of health. The result? A 50%+ reduction in symptoms for many chronic illness sufferers without endless supplements or constant testing. Mel blends ancient healing wisdom with modern neuroscience and has helped thousands recover from chronic fatigue, autoimmunity, fibromyalgia, and more — especially those who felt like they had “tried everything.”

In today's episode, I chat about how to bring in protein, strength training, and building muscle in a supportive and intentional way (And WHY we need to always be making this our eventual goal along any healing journey).I talk about the nuance of protein consumption, why it is not favorable to overdo it when living a sedentary lifestyle, but how to strategically increase it as the body is ready, so that we can get to a more foundational place for sustainable health. I also talk about how sedentary living impacts our ability to recover from workouts and how we must ease into movement gently and supportively to increase the "flow" in all systems of the body, the metabolic impact, and so much more! There is so much noise on these topics, but I wanted to show you what and how I support these things clinically, how important they are to incorporate eventually, and how to do so in an intentional and supportive way!To get updates on group programs as they open up, you can get on the list HERE to get notified first!To work one-on-one with me, you can apply HERE!Nutrisense CGM (my absolute go-to for all things metabolic health, now 30% off with my code DRSTACY)Blood Sugar and Ketone Testing Masterclass Mentioned:https://stacy-baker.mykajabi.com/offers/oFFzhFSzResources mentioned in this episode:Mycircadian APP DOCTOR (code)Ra Optics (Code DRSTACYND)Bon Charge (Code DRSTACY) red light panel and circadian bulbsHigher Dose (my FAV sauna blanket with low to no EMF) code DRSTACYCGM (Code DRSTACY for 30% off!)

Story at-a-glance Cancer is affecting younger individuals more than before. There's even a case wherein a 13-year-old has developed metastatic pancreatic cancer Inflammation plays a central role in cancer development, with poor diet, environmental chemicals, and persistent viral infections contributing to immune system suppression The COVID-19 jab contributes to cancer risk through persistent inflammation from spike proteins Your immune system, particularly T-cells and natural killer cells, is crucial for fighting cancer Practical preventative measures include eating whole foods instead of processed foods, reducing chemical exposure, maintaining proper sleep, and avoiding mRNA shots

Send us a textEpisode Summary: Dr. Michael Wheeler talks about neuroimmune interactions, exploring how the immune system and brain communicate, particularly through the blood-brain barrier and meninges; how chronic stress and inflammation can alter brain circuits, contributing to mood disorders like depression; how drugs like psilocybin and MDMA may reduce inflammation by modulating immune cells in the meninges, offering potential therapeutic benefits.About the guest: Michael Wheeler, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School. His lab studies how immune responses influence behavior, mood disorders, and addiction.Key Conversation Points:The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is not as impermeable as once thought, allowing immune signals like cytokines to influence brain function even in healthy states.Chronic stress can weaken the BBB, increasing inflammation and affecting mood-regulating circuits, potentially contributing to depression.Microglia, the brain's resident immune cells, help maintain neural circuits by pruning synapses and regulating metabolism.Psychedelics like psilocybin and MDMA can reduce inflammation by prompting immune cells (monocytes) to leave the meninges, potentially via vascular effects.These psychedelics may act in a context-specific “window,” requiring a dysregulated tissue state to exert anti-inflammatory effects, not as broad-spectrum anti-inflammatories.Neuroinflammation may underlie some treatment-resistant depression cases, suggesting immunotherapy could complement traditional psychiatric treatments.The brain encodes peripheral immune signals, like gut inflammation, in specific circuits, which can “remember” and recreate inflammatory responses.Aging may naturally increase blood-brain barrier leakiness, heightening the brain's susceptibility to peripheral inflammation.Future research aims to explore how psychedelics influence plasticity and their potential in treating inflammation-related diseases beyond psychiatry.Related episode:M&M 2: Psilocybin, LSD, Ketamine, Inflammation & Novel Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

Hair in the drain. A widening part. Thinning at the temples. You've tried the shampoo. The supplements. The serums. But nothing's working. What if the real reason your hair is falling out… has nothing to do with your hair at all? In today's episode of Autoimmune Simplified, we're pulling back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood symptoms of autoimmune conditions: hair loss. What's really causing it?

Got Health Questions or Comments?

Story at-a-glance New research shows inflammation directly influences mood and behavior by sending chemical signals that activate anxiety circuits in the brain, helping to explain emotional aftereffects of illness Specific inflammatory cytokines stimulate neurons in brain regions responsible for processing fear, while anti-inflammatory signals calm these same neural pathways Scientists discovered that certain immune molecules function like neurotransmitters in the brain, influencing social behavior and emotional states independently of inflammation Blocking inflammation incorrectly backfires; it triggers more intense anxiety as the body produces additional inflammatory messengers that overstimulate fear circuitry Managing inflammation-related mood issues requires reducing linoleic acid (LA) intake from vegetable oils, supporting mitochondrial function, getting safe sun exposure, avoiding alcohol and monitoring emotional symptoms after illness

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Pedram Shojai to dive into the fascinating connection between your gut and your overall health. We break down neuroception — how your body subconsciously scans for safety — and why it plays such a critical role in healing and performance. We get into the gut's “second brain,” the enteric nervous system, and how it drives your physical and mental well-being without you even realizing it. Dr. Shojai also shares real-world insights on tackling dysbiosis, understanding gut-immune symbiosis, and how simple lifestyle shifts can radically improve your health. If you've ever wondered how stress, gut health, and the nervous system all tie together — and how to actually use that knowledge to feel better — this is an episode you won't want to miss. Key Takeaways: Understanding Neuroception: Neuroception refers to the subconscious detection of safety or threat in the body, playing a crucial role in both gut health and overall well-being. Gut as an Immune Organ: The gut houses the majority of the body's immune cells, acting as a critical barrier between the inside of the body and external threats. Role of Stress in Gut Health: Chronic stress can disrupt gut microbiota, leading to issues like dysbiosis and gut permeability, thereby affecting mental health. Food Sensitivities: Identifying and avoiding food sensitivities can prevent chronic inflammation, leading to better overall health. Holistic Approaches to Wellness: Emphasizing mind-body practices, such as meditation and breath work, can improve gut health by promoting a balanced parasympathetic state.   More About Dr. Pedram Shojai: Dr. Pedram Shojai is a man with many titles. He is the founder and director of The Urban Monk Academy. He's the NYT Best Sellingauthor of the books Rise and Shine, The Urban Monk, The Art ofStopping Time, Inner Alchemy, Exhausted, Trauma, Focus, andConscious Parenting.He's the producer of the movies Vitality, Origins, Prosperity, and TheGreat Heist and the docuseries: Interconnected, Gateway to Health,Exhausted, Trauma, Conscious Parenting, Hormones Health & Harmony, and Gut Check.He's the host of“The Urban Monk” podcast and is a key influencer in the health and personal development space.He's a prominent physician in the functional medicine space and is known for his ability to bring people together around ideas that matter. oing all this, he's a chill guy who now lives up in the mountains and values his days on how much time he gets with his family.

Are you navigating perimenopause or menopause while also managing chronic health conditions? Or perhaps perimenopause has triggered an underlying, previously dormant issue? Traditional healthcare may not be enough to combat the symptoms, but do not fear! Today's guest is here to teach us how your nervous system, immune system, and hormones can all work together to support healing and longevity. This week, host Jenn Trepeck is joined by Dr. Jessica Drummond, Founder and CEO of The Integrative Women's Health Institute. Together, they explore how seemingly “silent” chronic conditions like endometriosis, pelvic pain, autoimmune disorders or even long covid, can complicate menopause—and what you can do about it. Dr. Drummond shares her insights on calming the nervous system, building metabolic health through nutrient-dense habits, and using tools like heart rate variability (HRV) to guide recovery. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: (00:00) The impact of menopause on silent chronic conditions(05:44) Dr. Jessica Drummond reflects on her professional journey in the chronic condition space(11:11) Common underlying chronic conditions affecting menopause(16:08) Discussion of the silent underlying conditions that can manifest later in life(25:43) Calming the nervous system to heal in a consistent way(30:50) The importance of your metabolic health in the form of nutrient-dense food, strength training, walking, hydration and circadian rhythm(32:09) Discussion of heart rate variability, recovery, and developing the art of sitting quietly(41:36) The importance of working with a health coach to plan for the future of your healthKEY TAKEAWAYS:Menopause and perimenopause symptoms can be overwhelming on their own. Still, when layered on top of chronic conditions like endometriosis, pelvic pain, autoimmune disorders, or post-viral syndromes (e.g., long COVID), it creates a compounded health challenge. Traditional training often overlooks the role of nutrition, nervous system regulation, and lifestyle in healing. Chronic conditions—especially during perimenopause—require a personalized, holistic strategy.Healing during menopause doesn't require drastic changes—small, consistent steps matter most. Start where it feels easiest, like mindfulness, nutrition, or gentle movement. Recovery and nervous system regulation are just as important as action. Tools like heart rate variability (HRV) can help track progress, showing that true resilience comes from balancing effort with rest.Integrating the nervous, immune, and hormone systems is the key to living a longer, more active, healthier life. When these systems are balanced and working together, they support overall well-being and longevity.QUOTES:         (10:04) “In my traditional physical therapy training, nutrition was not emphasized as a healing tool. It was more like you needed adequate nutrients to perform certain physical activities, but we didn't think about it from an anti-inflammatory standpoint.” - Dr. Jessica Drummond(13:59) “Research shows us that acute illnesses like infections trigger chronic diseases.” - Dr. Jessica Drummond(22:36) “It's exposing these underlying things that have been lying dormant, that we just brushed aside or pushed through because they weren't really standing in the way of us doing the things that we wanted to do.”  - Jenn Trepeck(40:19) “I think we make these plans expecting perfection, planning for this optimal, ideal day that never happens. So put these things in place so they happen even on the days where we don't feel a hundred percent, even on the days where nothing goes as planned.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramUse Your Heart Rate Monitor to Improve Your Health                GUEST RESOURCES:The Integrative Women's Health InstituteIntegrative Women's Health  - Podcast Integrative Women's Health - PubMedInnovative Approaches to Chronic Pain with The Anodunos Method TeamGUEST BIOGRAPHY:Dr. Jessica Drummond, DCN, CNS, PT, NBC-HWC, is a leading expert in women's health and the Founder and CEO of The Integrative Women's Health Institute.

What's the problem with antibiotics anyway? On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared passionately answers this question. There is no antibiotic that doesn't cause harm. That's not to say they don't have their place, but as Jared explains, they are almost never necessary and almost always prescribed for common problems like UTI's and sinus infections. You'll learn why many infections don't need, and won't respond to antibiotics, the ramifications of even a single dose of antibiotics, and how antibiotic superbugs are a real problem. Jared delves into why antibiotics are overused, side effects of particularly dangerous forms, and the effects on mental health and the immune system. This show will be followed with one on antibiotic alternatives and ways to rebuild your microbiome after antibiotic exposure.Additional Information:#264: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 1 - From Addiction and Mental Illness to Vitality#266: Prescribing Poisons Part 2.

Daniel Getts, the CEO and Founder of Myeloid Therapeutics is focused on the role of myeloid cells in the immune response to solid tumors. These cells are the first responders in the immune system and play a crucial role in bridging the innate and adaptive immune response. The Myeloid Therapeutics' mRNA technology activates myeloid cells in tumors, making the tumor microenvironment hot and attracting other immune cells to fight the cancer. Daniel explains, "The ability to harness our immune systems has revolutionized how we treat cancer. Unfortunately, we still have a long way to go, and if you think about some of the worst of the worst cancers, such as pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, and so on, immunotherapy has still not gotten us to a place where we can solve this. It's our mission at Myeloid Therapeutics to overcome these challenges. We've uncovered a lot of really interesting things about these cancers in the last 20 years, and we've been harnessing that knowledge."  "Myeloid cells are at the heart of the immune system. They're the first responders. So, if you have an infection or bump your knee, these cells are immediately called to the site to wall off and prevent any more damage. However, they also serve as the bridge to adaptive immunity, the T cells and the B cells, which are also important for integrating an immune response. In the context of COVID vaccines, we talk about antibodies and T cells, it's the myeloid cells that are essential. In the context of what we've been learning, immunotherapy, up until recently, had been very focused on T cells and how to short-circuit the whole system just by using or activating those cells to kill cancer. And what we're starting to learn is to harness the full capability of our own immune systems, you've got to go back to the start. You've got to harness the myeloid compartment so you can orchestrate all immune elements to kill cancer." #MyeloidTherapeutics #MyeloidCells #ImmuneSystem #SolidTumors #Cancer #ImmuneResponse #Oncology #TumorMicroenvironment myeloidtx.com Download the transcript here

Is spinach really bad for you? We break down the latest controversy around oxalates, calcium and whether leafy greens are as harmful as some claim. A media doctor says two tablespoons of sugar are healthier than two slices of wholewheat bread—but is this just another viral nutrition myth? We unpack the science behind the claim. Scientists have uncovered a new part of the immune system that could lead to a breakthrough in natural antibiotics. Could this discovery change the future of medicine? Plus, new research suggests morning and evening workouts could lower cancer risk—does when you exercise really matter? We also discuss why nutrition misinformation spreads so fast, why slushies are no longer recommended for kids under 8, and answer a listener's question on overcoming fear of calories in nutritious meals.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral! Hope you & your family are doing well.. I've heard from a trusted source that people who never get sick actually have a bad immune system response.. that it means their immune system doesn't recognise a threat (virus for example) & that's why they never get sick.. but that doesn't make sense to me, wouldn't that just mean that the viruses would then just stay in your body if your immune system wouldn't try to fight them? And they would wreak havoc on it? I don't know if my way of thinking is correct but would love to hear your input on this.. thanks for all you do, you're absolutely amazing!                                                                                                                                                                             Anonymous: Hello, I am wondering in methylene blue. I found one of your podcasts where you mention it in a positive manner but now I am hearing about it being derived from petroleum?! So is it a synthetic petroleum-derived chemical? Or is it a great bio hacking tool? I don't believe it can be both, but I know too little about it. Would love a whole show on it from your perspective, if possible, because it's supposed to have so many benefits, but how if it's made this way? Thanks     Sarah: Hello!! Curious about the white lines on my nails. I've had them on and off throughout my life. I heard it could be about nutrient deficiencies. I've done the HTMA and completed a protocol to balance my minerals, I eat a clean whole food diet, I take HCL with my meals to help digestion. I also get a lot of random bruises on my legs, unsure if this is related. I've done the 7 day detox, CBO and heavy metals protocol, I take the DNS also zinc and omegas, aswell as l glutamine, creatine, collagen, vit D and some adaptogens. I dry brush, gua sha, rebound, sauna, exercise, lots of walking etc. Anything to be concerned about with the white lines on nails/bruising on the legs? Thanks so much for all you do      Linda: Hey Dr Cabrel,I am writing about my granddaughter. She is almost 6 months old, breech cesarean birth baby, fully breast feed. My daughter is very health conscience, gluten free dairy free for years for her own health, lives as toxic free as possible. My question is the baby started to have some blood in her stool around 2 months which the Dr said is a reaction to what my daughter eats. She has limited so many things and eats the same thing every day. They think eggs/chicken are a big trigger as well as oats. Where do we go to find help. The Drs really dont have much to say for guidance and she is getting to an age to start with solids. Thanks!                                                                                            Slava: Hello, To Stephan Cabral: Have you ever dealt with a patient that was going through TSW (topical steroid withdrawal) symptoms? Currently on day 16 for the CBO protocol, have done the big 5 lab tests in 2023. Used corticosteroids since 2020. Any help is appreciated.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain how specific hormones influence both energy levels and the immune system and discuss practical tools for increasing energy throughout the day and managing stress. I discuss the mechanism through which cortisol and epinephrine (adrenaline) impact the brain and body and why it's important to regulate their levels, considering factors like time of day or stress levels. I also cover the positive benefits of short-term stress and behavioral protocols to increase energy and enhance stress resilience. Additionally, I explain how to optimize hormone levels through tools like sunlight exposure, meal timing, and supplements such as ashwagandha. Huberman Lab Essentials episodes are approximately 30 minutes long and focus on key science and protocol takeaways from past Huberman Lab episodes. Essentials will be released every Thursday, and our full-length episodes will continue to be released every Monday. Read the full episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.
