Podcasts about Immune system

Dr. William Li is a Harvard-trained physician, co-founder of the Angiogenesis Foundation, and New York Times bestselling author whose work centers on one quietly radical premise: the power to stay healthy lives inside you. In this conversation, we explore the five hardwired defense systems the body runs continuously, angiogenesis, stem cells, the gut microbiome, immunity, and DNA protection, and what it looks like to actually support them through food, sleep, and daily choices.What We Dive Into:1. You are not just one organism. You carry 39 trillion bacteria inside you, many of which send signals up through the vagus nerve directly to the brain, shaping mood, social behavior, and stress levels.2. Your body was born with 70 million extra stem cells stored in bone marrow, ready to mobilize and repair damage whenever called. Sleep, food, and metabolic health directly influence how effectively they do their job.3. The environment is full of things we cannot fully control, microplastics, toxins, pollution. What we can control is whether our internal defense systems are strong enough to handle the load. Chronic stress degrades those systems faster than most environmental exposures.Know Thyself, but not by yourself.

Please do your own research and consult a qualified healthcare professional before making medical decisions.Cancer has long been viewed through the lens of genetics, but what if one of the most widely accepted theories is missing a much bigger piece of the puzzle?In this conversation, researcher and author David Rasnick shares why he believes chromosomal imbalance—not gene mutations—is the driving force behind cancer.We discuss the work of Theodor Boveri, why this theory has remained outside the medical mainstream, the role of spontaneous remission, fever therapy, Coley's toxins, glycolysis, and the Warburg Effect, as well as why David believes understanding how cancer develops over time is critical to finding better approaches.David also discusses why many conventional cancer treatments appear to work initially before cancer returns, and explains his perspective on the body's natural ability to recognize and eliminate abnormal cells. Throughout our conversation, he challenges long-held assumptions and encourages listeners to examine the scientific literature for themselves.This Ke Ala Side version includes the portions that were edited or muted from the public YouTube release.

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston sits down with Harvard-trained physician, consultant, and author Dr. Michael Myers Jr. to tackle the complex and often controversial topic of vaccines through the lens of sound science and clear data. With deep expertise as a former chief of primary care and pediatrics, Dr. Myers previews his upcoming book, The Vaccine Bible, and unpacks how immunization works as a reliable tool for long-term health and disease prevention. Together, Dr. Pinkston and Dr. Myers address the most common concerns shared by patient communities today, including the safety of combination shots, the reality of preservatives, and the thoroughly debunked links between vaccines and autism. They look closely at the critical role vaccines play in modern longevity—highlighting massive clinical wins like the shingles vaccine’s link to reduced dementia risk, and cancer-preventing tools like the Gardasil and Hepatitis B vaccines. Dr. Myers also breaks down the rapid development and safety of mRNA technology used during the COVID-19 pandemic. Tune in for an honest, evidence-based conversation that bridges the gap between integrative health practices and conventional immunology, empowering you to perform your own objective risk assessment for you and your family. https://www.drmikemyers.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

People with rare, severe autoimmune diseases often live for years with progressive, disabling conditions managed by chronic immunosuppression that rarely addresses the underlying cause. Kyverna is developing an autologous CAR T-cell therapy designed to deliver a deep immune reset by broadly depleting pathogenic B cells, followed by repopulation with naïve, non-pathogenic B cells and normalization of T-cell function and cytokine profiles. This approach has the potential to enable durable remissions and discontinuation of background immunosuppressive therapies after a single infusion. The company's pipeline is focused on neuroimmunology, with lead programs in generalized myasthenia gravis and stiff person syndrome. Warner Biddle, CEO of Kyverna Therapeutics, discusses the company's B cell–targeting cell therapy platform, the range of autoimmune diseases it aims to address, and its next-generation therapies in development.

What if the real problem with your child's eczema isn't a weak immune system, but one that's working too hard in the wrong direction? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Rob Silverman, a chiropractor who's spent years working at the intersection of functional medicine, inflammation, and chronic disease. We dig into why eczema is almost never actually a skin condition, how the gut and nervous system are constantly communicating with each other, why food sensitivities can hide inflammation for days before it shows up, and some simple, doable shifts you can start making in your own kitchen tonight. Your child's immune system doesn't need boosting. It needs balance, and once you understand the difference, everything about how you approach healing starts to shift. WANT TO GET TO THE ROOT CAUSE?

Have you ever felt like your mind is completely unprotected against the non-stop cascade of notifications, digital stress, and collective anxiety? Welcome to Day 1 of our master series, The Mental Immune System: Retraining Your Brain's Natural Defenses. Today, we unlock the foundational gateway of your psychological armor by exploring the profound developmental arc of Release. Before you can build new layers of mental resilience, you must first clear out the toxic, high-frequency static that is currently exhausting your cognitive resources. In this introductory session, we explore the groundbreaking science of the "Mental Immune System." We look at the work of evolutionary geneticists and physicians like Dr. Michael Nehls, who reveal how our brains were evolutionarily designed to absorb vital, protective trace minerals—like lithium—straight from our natural groundwater to buffer us against aggression, impulsivity, and despair. We journey back to ancient societies who drank from mineral-dense, living springs, automatically anchoring their brains in an unshakeable state of biochemical safety. Over the course of this series, you will learn how chronic digital overstimulation causes your brain stem to hold onto a tight, defensive bracing pattern that mimics a severe physical illness. Through our featured somatic release protocol, you will learn to consciously unlatch that survival loop, flush accumulated adrenaline, and build an untouchable sanctuary within your own biology. Allow your nervous system return to its true, sovereign baseline.

Carnitine, with acknowledged muscle and brain benefits, may find a new role in supporting cancer immunity; Calcium and vitamin D's bone-building impact may be limited; Internal visceral fat may accelerate brain aging, MRI study finds; The remarkable benefits of a newly-discovered mitochondrial booster—urolithin A (Mitopure®️).

Gugs Mhlungu speaks to Dr Fundile Nyati, Resident GP and CEO of Proactive Health Solution, about inflammation; what it is, the difference between acute and chronic inflammation, the foods and lifestyle habits that can trigger it, common myths surrounding inflammation, and practical ways to reduce it for better long-term health.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Organizational change resistance isn't dysfunction, it's a system doing exactly what it was built to do. Peter and Dave break down why structures, incentives, and leadership behavior create that resistance, and how AI is now exposing it faster than ever.Dave and Peter dig into what they call the organizational immune system: the structures, incentives, and habits that keep a company stable, and that fight back the moment you try to change them. They use the Boeing and McDonnell Douglas merger as a case study in how a shift in incentives can erode a culture built over decades, and how long it takes to rebuild that trust once it's gone. The conversation moves into how AI adoption doesn't fix broken systems, it amplifies the weak spots organizations have been avoiding for years, and forces conversations that used to be easy to put off. They close with a look at how value stream mapping can make an organization's hidden dependencies visible, so leaders can work with the immune system instead of fighting it.This week's takeaways: - Organizational structures exist to stabilize behavior, so treating them as barriers to simply remove often creates new problems you didn't expect. - Real change comes from adjusting incentives and giving people permission to experiment, not from stripping away the systems that hold the organization together. - AI adoption doesn't repair a broken process, it amplifies existing weak spots and forces the difficult conversations organizations have been putting off.Listen to the full episode at definitelymaybeagile.com Subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Immune Regulation, Omega-3 Nuance, and Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat with Dr. Austin Perlmutter, chief science officer of Big Bold Health. He details immune regulation as a nuanced, multidimensional system shaped by diet and lifestyle rather than simple “boosting.” Perlmutter explains Big Bold Health's focus on immunometabolism, educating about immune complexity, and conducting studies on nutraceuticals, including use of CGMs and clinical trials. He discusses why eating fish often outperforms refined fish-oil supplements, noting conventional processing (heat, bleaching, deodorizing, esterification) and loss of other lipids and nutrients. Perlmutter highlights specialized pro-resolving mediators (resolvins, protectins, maresins) and vitamins A and D as potentially better preserved in minimally processed oils, and reviews typical omega-3 intake and target ranges. The conversation also covers immunosenescence/inflammaging and Big Bold Health research on sprouted Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat, its high polyphenols (rutin, quercetin), microbiome effects, and studies including epigenetic aging clocks and brain outcomes.

Send us Fan MailAn MRI, a phone call, and four words nobody wants to hear: “You have a perforated bowel.” Zach Koscuik was on the road to a comedy gig when Crohn's disease forced yet another hard pivot, adding to a 25-year history that includes perianal Crohn's, fistulas, abscesses, emergency surgeries, biologics, and three ileocolonic resections. We talk with him about what it's like to grow up sick, manage the stigma that makes people minimize inflammatory bowel disease, and keep showing up to school, work, and life when your body is always negotiating the nearest bathroom.Then the story takes a turn into the world of clinical trials and high-stakes medicine. Zach explains how severe disease and short bowel complications pushed his team toward an autologous stem cell transplant, a process that essentially wipes out and restarts the immune system. We get specific about the testing, chemo, isolation, and the surreal experience of being treated on a cancer floor without having cancer, plus the very real impact of insurance decisions that kept him hospitalized for 43 days.The payoff lands with the kind of news IBD patients barely let themselves hope for: a one-year follow-up colonoscopy that comes back completely clean. We also keep it honest about what remains, including motility issues, joint pain, and the mental aftershocks of medical trauma. Zach closes with a simple challenge for the Crohn's and colitis community: practice equal empathy, because two people can share a diagnosis and live totally different realities. If this conversation hits home, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people living with IBD can find it.Links: Find Zach on InstagramInformation on the stem cell trial that Zach didStem Cell Therapy clinical trial site- Clinicaltrials.govLet's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!

In the final installment of this series on healthy organizational systems, Trisha and Mac unpack the last three practices from Peter Steinke's work on strengthening an organization's "immune system." Together they explore why healthy leaders focus on process along with content, the entire system, not just symptoms, and direction, not just current condition. Through stories from ministry and organizational leadership, they show how these shifts help leaders move beyond blame, navigate discouragement, and create lasting health instead of chasing quick fixes.

Chronic immune activation creates a feedback loop between immune cells that keeps them stuck in "on mode," increasing the likelihood of uncontrolled growth and lymphoma development over time Autoimmunity and cancer are opposite outcomes of the same immune system imbalance, meaning pushing your immune system too hard or suppressing it too much both increase disease risk Cancer treatments that boost immune activity improve tumor destruction but often trigger autoimmune damage, while autoimmune treatments weaken immune surveillance and allow abnormal cells to survive longer Your gut and mitochondrial function directly control immune behavior, and when these systems break down, your immune system receives constant danger signals and stays activated Restoring balance requires rebuilding gut health gradually, removing damaging factors like seed oils, maintaining steady cellular energy with adequate carbohydrates, and reinforcing daily rhythms through movement and sunlight

Every parent wants to protect their baby — but what if the window to prevent lifelong allergies is smaller than anyone realized? Scientists have discovered that a newborn's immune system doesn't just work differently from an adult's; it's actually wired to overreact in ways that can set the stage for eczema and allergies before you even know it's happening. The culprit? A hormone, missing in babies, that keeps the immune system in check.In this episode, Dr. Shruti Naik reveals what's really going on beneath your baby's skin, and what it could mean for the future of allergy prevention.

Mickey Trescott explains that autoimmune diseases occur when the body's immune system attacks its own organs, a condition affecting a high percentage of women. The protocol is a diet and lifestyle experiment designed to help individuals identify personal triggers and manage their chronic health symptoms. (9)1849 BRUSSELS

A new experiment shows pigeons use immune cells to navigate our planet. The discovery redefines our understanding of how an animal can 'feel' Earth's magnetic field.

This is my personal favorite topic, but probably your least favorite: strength training.  Before you run away, hear me out! Because whether you’re bed-bound, housebound, or just convinced your body can’t handle it right now, this episode is for you. I’m breaking down exactly WHY resistance and strength training isn’t just helpful for vestibular disorders—it’s essential.  You Have to Move Your Body to Manage Your Dizziness From the dizzy-anxious-dizzy cycle to blood sugar regulation to better sleep to reduced inflammation, strength training touches virtually every struggle vestibular warriors face. I’m not letting anyone off the hook, but I am meeting you exactly where you are. Starting with 3 minutes? That counts.  Walking to the mailbox and back? That counts too.  Because the goal here is progress, not perfection. And you know I have the science to back every single word of it! In this episode, we'll dig into: Why strength training is non-negotiable for vestibular disorder management How exercise helps break the dizzy-anxious-dizzy cycle “In the moment” vs. “hangover” dizziness and how to adjust your approach Why EDS, HSD, or MCAS makes building muscle even more critical The truth about the fear of getting “bulky” How to start exercising when you’re bedbound or couch-bound What physical activity guidelines actually say, and where most people fall short How functional movements like the deadlift directly support vestibular patients How Vestibular Group Fit makes strength and resistance training accessible Whether you start with 3 minutes or 30, the most important thing is that you start. Because your vestibular system, your mood, your balance, and your future self are all counting on it.

A Place Called Hope: Dr. Francisco Contreras on Cancer Care, Faith, and Integrative Healing Episode Description In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Dr. Francisco Contreras of Oasis of Hope in Tijuana, Mexico, for a thoughtful and deeply meaningful conversation about cancer care, hope, faith, prevention, and whole-person healing. Dr. Contreras shares the story of Oasis of Hope, founded by his father, Dr. Ernesto Contreras, more than 60 years ago. What began as a vision to care for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of cancer patients has grown into an international integrative oncology center serving patients from around the world. Stephanie and Dr. Contreras talk about the importance of treating the whole person, not just the diagnosis. Their conversation moves through integrative cancer care, immune support, natural and conventional treatment options, nutrition, exercise, stress, spiritual strength, early detection, breast cancer screening, biopsy concerns, and the role of hope in the healing process. Dr. Contreras also discusses why he believes patients need clear, understandable information when facing cancer. With so much information online, the process can feel overwhelming and frightening. His message is steady and compassionate: cancer is serious, but it does not have to immediately steal a person's joy, clarity, or hope. This episode includes discussion of cancer treatment, prevention, screening, integrative oncology, COVID vaccination concerns, and medical decision-making. It is meant to inform, encourage, and spark deeper questions, not replace personal medical advice. Anyone dealing with cancer, screening decisions, treatment options, supplements, or major health changes should work directly with a qualified medical team that understands their individual situation. In This Episode, Discover The story behind Oasis of Hope and its 60-year history How Dr. Ernesto Contreras helped shape a whole-person approach to cancer care Why Dr. Francisco Contreras believes emotional and spiritual support matter in healing What integrative oncology means at Oasis of Hope Why some natural therapies are studied but not widely approved or adopted How immunotherapy and immune support fit into the Oasis of Hope approach Dr. Contreras' perspective on rising cancer rates in younger people Simple lifestyle steps that may help reduce cancer risk The importance of fruits, vegetables, movement, stress reduction, and spiritual strength Why cancer symptoms often appear after disease is already present Mammograms, ultrasound, MRI, thermography, and early detection How Dr. Contreras thinks about biopsy risk versus diagnostic benefit When someone might consider contacting Oasis of Hope Why clear information matters when patients are overwhelmed The role of hope, mindset, faith, and joy during a cancer journey Stay Connected & Explore Learn More About Dr. Francisco Contreras and Oasis of Hope: Oasis of Hope: https://www.oasisofhope.com/ Dr. Francisco Contreras: https://www.oasisofhope.com/doctor/dr-francisco-contreras/ Request a Free Consultation: https://www.oasisofhope.com/contact-us/ Download Dr. Contreras' Free Cancer E-Book, The Art & Science of Undermining Cancer: https://www.oasisofhope.com/ Episode Sponsor: Learn more about Lemongrove Oil: https://www.lemongroveoil.com/ Connect with Conversations with a Chiropractor: Follow Us on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@ConversationswithaChiro Follow Dr. Stephanie on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wautierwellness Email for show-related inquiries and sponsorships: drstephaniewautier@yahoo.com Want to be a guest on Conversations with a Chiropractor?

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel makes the case that one of the most powerful things you can do for your child's immune system is also the simplest — and the most overlooked. Drawing on his upbringing on a cattle and grain farm in northwest Iowa, Dr. Tony connects real-life farm stories to cutting-edge neuroimmunology to show why getting outside, playing in the dirt, and embracing exposure is foundational to raising healthy, resilient kids. He breaks down the hygiene hypothesis, shares findings from a groundbreaking Finland daycare study, and explains why fear of germs may be doing more damage than the germs themselves. Whether you live on a farm or in a suburb, this episode will change the way you think about your family's everyday environment.-----Links & Resources:The Resilient Family Summit: Raising Healthy Kids in a Crazy Stressful Worldhttps://www.thepxdocs.com/offers/Crje8Pri-----Key Topics & Timestamps00:02 How Over-Medicalization Created the Sickest Generation Ever 00:07 Farm Life & Why His Family Almost Never Went to the Doctor 00:11 His Dad's Broken Finger and What It Taught Him About Immune Resilience 00:14 Why Chronic Fear and Worry May Be the Worst Health Threat of All 00:16 What Kids Actually Get from Being Outside: Sun, Sweat, Air & Vitamin D 00:25 Kids Spend Less Time Outside Than Prison Inmates — Here's Why It Matters 00:28 The Perfect Storm: Raising the Cleanest — and Sickest — Generation Ever 00:33 The Finland Rewilding Study: What 43 Daycares Proved in 2–4 Weeks 00:40 The Most Advanced Intervention Is the One We Left Behind 75 Years Ago-- 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

Isaac Stoner, CEO of MindImmune Therapeutics, a drug discovery company pioneering a new class of medicines for Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions.Isaac has built his career moving between the founder seat and the investor seat. He was the founding CEO of Octagon Therapeutics, the first team member at liquid biopsy company Firefly BioWorks and has evaluated life science companies for investment at Slater Technology Fund, PureTech Health, KdT and Action Potential Venture Capital. At MindImmune Therapeutics, he is chasing one of the boldest ideas in neuroscience: that Alzheimer's may in fact be an autoimmune disease that presents in the brain.In this episode Isaac explains why the amyloid hypothesis that has dominated Alzheimer's research for 30 years has run its course, and why MindImmune is taking an immunology-first approach built on brain tissue donated by Alzheimer's patients. He breaks down the three biggest risk factors for the disease, how he pitched a 30 million dollar Series A on a condition where 99.9% of drugs have failed and what it would mean to develop a therapy bigger than the GLP-1 weight loss drugs.We also get into the founder-to-investor-to-founder journey, why a brilliant scientific founder is often the wrong person to sit in the CEO seat and the hard truths every aspiring biotech founder needs to hear before striking out on their own.Timestamps[00:02:50] Why a Career Investor Keeps Getting Pulled Back Into Building[00:05:25] Shutting Down Octagon Therapeutics and the Chip It Left Behind[00:07:10] Why MindImmune Treats Alzheimer's as an Autoimmune Disease[00:08:20] Why 30 Years of the Amyloid Hypothesis Has Run Its Course[00:10:05] The Three Biggest Risk Factors for Alzheimer's and What You Can Do[00:12:15] How He Raised a $30 Million Series A on the Hardest Disease in Medicine[00:15:30] Why 99.9% of Alzheimer's Drugs Fail and What Makes This Different[00:18:35] Why a Brilliant Scientific Founder Is Often the Wrong CEO[00:22:20] Where MindImmune Goes Next: AMD, ALS and Beyond[00:28:00] Final Advice: Get Into Biotech for the Right ReasonsConnect with Isaac - ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/isaacstoner/⁠Learn more about MindImmune Therapeutics - ⁠https://www.mindimmune.com/⁠Get in touch with Karandeep Badwal - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/karandeepbadwal/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Karandeep on YouTube - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KarandeepBadwal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Medical device training courses delivered by Karandeep through Bywater - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.bywater.co.uk/

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Food Allergy Prevention, a groundbreaking new study from the Salk Institute that could change everything we thought we knew about food allergies. What if having no allergic reaction is not just luck but an active, complex process happening inside your body? New findings point to specific immune cells in the gut that may hold the key to why some people can eat anything without a reaction while others cannot. Could something as simple as what you feed a child early in life shift the odds in their favor? Jenn breaks down the science, the caveats, and what this might actually mean for families navigating the very real challenges of food allergies. Is a future without food allergies possible? You might be surprised by what the research is starting to reveal. Like what you're hearing? Be sure to check out the full-length episodes of new releases every Wednesday.

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.

Metabolic syndrome, long-haul syndromes, hypersensitivity, and autoimmunity are four ways the immune system adapts to a nervous system living in fear. Each one is the immune system adapting to a fear-driven nervous system. These are adaptations. The body is doing what bodies do. In this solo episode, Dr. Aimie walks through all four immune adaptive patterns. The fear pattern behind each one. What your diagnosis is actually telling you. And why hope lives in a simple fact: most immune cells turn over every three days. She also shares her own experience with all four. This is also her own story. Her work in repairing the Biology of Trauma®  started here. ➡️ Full show notes: https://www.biologyoftrauma.com/post/what-fear-does-to-your-immune-system-biology-of-trauma In This Episode You'll Learn: [01:00] Why our nervous system always adapts (and our immune system follows) [03:00] The first immune adaptive pattern: metabolic syndrome [06:00] What the lab markers actually point to (it lives upstream) [08:00] The second immune adaptive pattern: long-haul syndromes [11:00] Pre-existing nervous system state matters more than the exposure [13:00] Dr. Aimie's college mono-like illness and the decade-long pattern [15:00] The third immune adaptive pattern: hypersensitivity [18:00] Why some people don't know they're hypersensitive [21:00] The three-day window: how fast the immune system can shift [22:00] What changed in three days with adopted children [24:00] The fourth immune adaptive pattern: autoimmunity [27:00] Fear that turned inward as anger (and why) [29:00] Having all four patterns: Dr. Aimie's own story Resources/Guides: Read Chapter 10 of The Biology of Trauma — Dr. Aimie's book takes you deeper into all four immune adaptive patterns and the shared root in nervous system dysregulation.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Tony Ebel sits down with attorney Aaron Siri — author of the bestselling book Vaccines, Amen and founder of the largest non-pharma vaccine legal practice in the world — for one of the most important conversations in the history of the Experience Miracles podcast. Aaron has spent over a decade litigating vaccine injury cases, deposing the world's leading vaccinologists, and forcing federal agencies to produce documents through FOIA requests that the public was never meant to see. Together, they walk through the shocking truth about how childhood vaccines were actually licensed, what the long-term health data really shows, the undeniable connection between birth trauma and vaccine injury, and what parents can do right now to protect their children. This is not a controversial conversation — it's a scientific and legal one, and the facts speak for themselves.-----Links & ResourcesBuy Vaccines Amen: https://aaronsiriofficial.com/Siri & Glimstad Law Firm: https://www.sirillp.com/Instagram: @aaronsirisgX: https://x.com/aaronsirisg-----Key Topics & Timestamps0:00 The Bombshell Opening: No Placebo Controls on Any Routine Childhood Vaccine 5:00  Why Aaron Siri's Work Is Science AND Law — You Can't Separate Them 8:00 When AI Tried to Shut Down the Science Conversation 15:00 How Aaron's Firm First Discovered the Truth About Vaccine Licensing Trials 17:00 Live on the FDA Website: The Hep B Vaccine Was Licensed on 147 Kids Monitored for 5 Days 25:00 Deposing Dr. Stanley Plotkin — The Man Who Didn't Remember His Own Trial 33:00 The 1986 Vaccine Injury Act: The Law That Changed Everything 43:00 The Neurological Cascade: GBS, Encephalitis, and What a Baby's Scream Can Mean 48:00 The Hidden Trigger Nobody Talks About: Birth Trauma and the Perfect Storm 58:00 Why Aaron Wrote Vaccines, Amen and What Parents Can Do Right Now-- 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

Nate discussed Thymosin Alpha-1 (TA-1), a peptide he strongly recommends for immune system function and longevity. He explained that TA-1 is a naturally occurring peptide originally derived from the thymus gland, which helps support T-cell function, enhance immune response, balance inflammation, and improve resistance to infections. Nate emphasized that TA-1 works as an immunomodulatory compound rather than an immune stimulant or suppressant, helping to regulate and balance the immune system. He shared personal experiences and mentioned that recent guest, Dr. Stephanie Rimka, has also used TA-1 successfully, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nate stressed that while peptides like TA-1 can support overall health, they should be used in conjunction with proper lifestyle choices including nutrition, exercise, and stress management. He concluded by discussing his own experiences with the peptide and his commitment to longevity practices, encouraging listeners to do their own research before considering TA-1 or similar supplements. *This episode is for educational purposes only and should not be construed as medical advice.*  

Why Your Immune System May Be Attacking Its Own Tissue (The Gut Connection) | Podcast #477

In this episode, Trisha and Mac begin their series on leadership responses to build health by exploring two foundational practices for leadership: focusing on self rather than others, and choosing integrity over unity. Together, they unpack how anxiety pushes leaders to become reactive, emotionally fused, and overly focused on managing other people's responses. They discuss the hard work of clarifying guiding principles, staying grounded in moments of tension, and leading from conviction instead of fear. Conversation Overview   "Focus on self, not others" is foundational in emotionally healthy leadership How leaders lose themselves when other people's reactions become the compass Why integrity is not the same thing as selfishness The importance of guiding principles during high-anxiety moments How Jesus modeled clarity, boundaries, and differentiated leadership Healthy systems need both individuality and connection The relationship between integrity, boundaries, and emotional maturity How anxiety spreads through systems — and how leaders can lower it instead of amplifying it   Resources   How Your Church Family Works - Peter Steinke Kathleen Smith Bowen Family Systems Edwin Friedman - A Failure of Nerve

As coal and gas plants retire, the energy transition conversation focuses on replacing their generation capacity. What gets far less attention is the loss of the physical properties those machines provided for free: inertia that stabilises frequency, fault current that supports voltage during disturbances, and reactive power that regulates voltage across the network. These services come from the physics of enormous spinning rotors synchronised to the grid, responding instantaneously, without sensors, software or control loops. As inverter-based resources replace them, that mechanical immune system disappears, and a new, extreme stress test is arriving at the same time in the form of AI data centres whose loads can swing by hundreds of megawatts in a fraction of a second.Host Bridget van Dorsten is joined by Kristina Carlquist, General Manager of Synchronous Condensers at ABB, and Christian Payerl, Sales Manager of Synchronous Condensers at ABB, to unpack why a technology that has existed for as long as the grid itself is now experiencing a revival.Christian explains the three ancillary services the grid is losing, inertia, short-circuit current and reactive power, and why inverter-based generation does not replace them. Grid-forming batteries can be programmed to simulate inertia, but each charge-discharge cycle degrades lifetime, overload capacity is limited to microseconds, and the models needed for accurate grid simulation are often tied up in manufacturer IP. Synchronous condensers respond on physics alone, in both directions, with no degradation and no modelling uncertainty. The recent blackout in Spain illustrates what happens when that gap is left unfilled.Kristina walks through the commercial traction. ABB's partnership with VoltaGrid on isolated data center microgrids has grown from an unexpected inbound enquiry in late 2024 to dozens of synchronous condensers delivered. On the grid-connected side, the Faroe Islands have deployed four units with a fifth on the way as part of their push toward 100% renewables, already achieving multi-day periods of fully renewable operation. ABB is also working with Korea's Jeju Island on its first flywheel-equipped deployment. The demand pattern is widening: islands integrating renewables, TSOs managing weak grid regions, mines electrifying operations, and now data centre developers who had never considered grid stability equipment before.The episode closes on regulation and standards. Christian, who participates in international standards work through CIGRE, notes that there is still no international standard for flywheel safety and that the treatment of inertia as a paid service varies dramatically by country. While inertia is compensated as a paid service in the UK, in Sweden it is treated as free – rotating machines providing it receive no income stream for doing so. As data center load grows faster than regulation can respond, both guests argue that the answer is not one technology but a combination, provided the industry, utilities and policymakers can align on what the grid actually needs to remain stable.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Henry Cloud is a clinical psychologist, leadership consultant, and New York Times bestselling author whose books have sold nearly 20 million copies worldwide. His titles include Boundaries, Integrity, Necessary Endings, and Trust. For three decades, he has worked with leaders, helping them close the gap between where they are and where they want to be. His newest book is Your Desired Future: The Five Essential Steps That Take You Where You Want to Go. Key Learnings Henry's five-step model for getting from here to there: Vision (clear and compelling) Talent (engaging the right people around you) Strategy and plan (how you'll win) Measurement and accountability (how you'll know) Fix and adapt (course-correcting in real time) At the age of 16, Henry's daughter asked, "Dad, how do people become singer-songwriters?" Henry went out to the garage and brought in his whiteboard. Lucy rolled her eyes. He gave her the five-step model. A couple years later, she published a song called "Crash and Learn" that got bought by CBS, the CW Network, and featured on Spotify and Apple Music. We tend to create departments and businesses in our own image. Of the five components, we're going to be good at two, maybe three. But the others still have to happen. That's where most leaders fail. Only humans can picture a desired future state. Finley is Henry's Doberman. When the FedEx guy comes to the door, she runs to it, and barks every time. Henry has never seen her stop and ask herself: "I wonder if that barking will help me get to where I want to be on Thursday." Most leaders are operating like Finley. Working hard. Doing what they've always done. Never stopping to ask if any of it is getting them where they want to be. You need an observing ego. The worst thing you can do is hit the accelerator harder when you're going down the wrong road and you don't even know where you're going. Tony Blair, while Prime Minister, spent half a day a week sitting by himself next to a pond in reflection. Warren Buffett spends an hour and a half a day at his desk staring out the window.  A revenue number is not a vision. The single worst vision statement Henry ever heard: "We want to be a $50 million company." It provides no clarity of what the company is going to do.   A vision is a compelling picture of a future state that makes people want to sacrifice for it. If your vision wouldn't inspire anyone to get out of bed early, it's a metric, not a vision. Will Guidara created a "dream maker" role at Eleven Madison Park. Their job: listen for clues from guests, then create a personalized, unexpected, memorable experience the guest will never forget and tell everyone about. Trust Fuels Investment. People invest in leaders who feel like they understand them. You're taking your team into a war. They've got to have deep trust with you. The first thing a leader has to do is develop deep, deep trust and let their team know that they understand the pressure they're under. "A vision can die without a plan or without people." Alan Mulally's weekly 7:00 AM Thursday meeting at Ford. Every VP had to give every project a red, yellow, or green status. When Mulally first arrived, the company was hemorrhaging money. Everyone was holding up green. He said: "How can you be holding up green when here's the reality over here? I need some reality in here." When one VP finally held up red, Mulally moved him to sit next to him. The wrong view of accountability is looking back to spank somebody for what they didn't do. The right view of accountability is a tool to make sure we reach our destination. You get what you create or what you allow. Henry was working with a global CEO whose team had cultural problems. Henry kept asking, "Why is that?" After a few rounds, the CEO finally said, "I guess I am ridiculously in charge, aren't I?" If you are the one actually in charge, you are ridiculously in charge. Either you're creating it, or you're allowing it. Accountability answers two questions: Did we do what we said we were going to do? If not, why not? Don't just tell people to "do better." Run a root cause analysis. Maybe they don't have the tools. Maybe you gave them competing goals. Maybe it's a leadership problem. If we executed perfectly, did we get the result we expected? If yes, pour on the gas. If no, go back up the model and adjust your strategy. Most leaders measure goals, not activities. Goals are lagging indicators. You can measure them after it's over. It's too late. Measure activities. Did we do this week what we said we were going to do? Micro drivers matter. Henry worked with a CEO who built multi-billions in valuation from a one-office company who was excellent with micro drivers. It's an atomic compression of the 80/20 rule. He knew the specific activities at each level of the business that actually moved the needle, and he made those objects of extreme awareness, focus, training, and deliberate practice. Peter Drucker said, "Nothing's worse than perfectly executing the wrong things." The number one thing the greatest leaders share: character. Not moral or ethical character. Your makeup as a person. How you're glued together. Integrity comes from the word that means wholeness. The great performers are drivers of tasks and relationships. The highest performers utilize coaching the most. Henry expected the disastrous leaders  to be the ones calling. It was the exact opposite. The ones crushing it are the ones who reach out. The struggling ones rarely do. The greatest leaders reverse the law of entropy: things get worse over time. But entropy only applies to a closed system. Open the system to a new energy source from the outside plus intelligence to organize it, and you can reverse it. That's what coaches, mentors, and advisors do. A leader is a closed system when the only voices they're ever listening to are the ones in their head. The greatest leaders embrace negative realities. They move toward problems. Not to nuke them, but to either resolve them or transform them into something better. Reflection Questions In how many areas of your life are you just barking at the door, working hard at activities without ever stopping to ask if any of it is getting you where you want to go? Is your current vision a metric, or a compelling picture of a future state that would make people want to sacrifice for it? Where in your life are you a closed system? Whose voices outside your head could open you up to new energy and intelligence?

Billions of years ago, battles between bacteria and viruses wrote the rulebook for how hosts and pathogens behave. Today, our immune system follows suit. On this episode of The Quanta Podcast, host Samir Patel speaks with writer Viviane Callier about how recent discoveries could shape how we think about the evolution of immunity. This topic was covered in a recent story for Quanta Magazine. Each week on The Quanta Podcast, Quanta Magazine editor in chief Samir Patel speaks with the people behind the award-winning publication to navigate through some of the most important and mind-expanding questions in science and math.

Functional Diagnostic Nutrition: Using Saliva Testing, Food Sensitivity Labs, and Lifestyle to Find Root Causes: Reed Davis, Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP) and Certified Nutritional Therapist (CNT), is founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN). He discusses using functional testing alongside conventional care to uncover “dysfunction” when standard labs appear normal. Davis describes assessing adrenal and metabolic stress via saliva testing for circadian cortisol patterns, cortisol-DHEA balance, sex hormones, secretory IgA, and melatonin, emphasizing clinical correlation and individualized “studies of one.” He outlines an approach targeting multiple “healing opportunities” (H-I-D-D-E-N: hormones, immune, digestion, detoxification, energy, nervous system) and applying D-R-E-S-S (diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction, supplementation) rather than relying on supplements alone. A case example links chronic hives, medication-related weight gain, and food triggers identified through additional testing, including the Mediator Release Test. The discussion also covers stress-driven gut dysbiosis, digestion decline, and EFT tapping for stress-related symptoms, and notes FDN practitioners can be found via FDNtraining.com/medicine.

If you're dealing with fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, or stubborn symptoms that won't go away… you've probably been told it's your thyroid. So you test your labs. You adjust medication. You try to "optimize" your numbers. And yet… nothing really changes. In this episode of the Thyroid Answers Podcast, Dr. Eric Balcavage explains why many persistent "thyroid" symptoms are not actually driven by thyroid dysfunction but by immune activation and inflammation. You'll learn how your body shifts into a protective, stress-adaptive state under perceived threat, and how those changes directly impact thyroid physiology. What looks like a thyroid problem on paper is often a signal that your system is overwhelmed… not broken. Dr. Balcavage walks through why chasing lab values or suppressing symptoms can leave people stuck in what he calls "thyroid purgatory," and why real progress requires a different approach entirely. If you've been doing all the "right things" but still don't feel like yourself… this episode will help you understand why—and what to focus on instead. What You'll Learn: • Why many thyroid symptoms are driven by immune activation, not thyroid dysfunction • How inflammation and perceived stress change thyroid physiology • Why TSH, free T4, and free T3 don't tell the whole story • What "thyroid purgatory" is and why so many people get stuck there • How the immune system shifts metabolism under stress or threat • Common hidden stressors (infections, toxins, mold, poor sleep, under-eating, overtraining, chronic stress) • Why symptom suppression and lab manipulation often fall short • The connection between stress, metabolism, and hormone disruption • Why building capacity must come before trying to "fix" the system • How to start reducing load and supporting your body in a more effective way Learn More About Dr. Eric Balcavage Dr. Eric Balcavage is the co-author of The Thyroid Debacle and the creator of: • State-Based Medicine™ • The Adaptive Thyroid Model™ • The Strategic Thyroid Solution™ His work focuses on helping patients and practitioners understand thyroid physiology through the lens of metabolic stress, adaptation, and whole-body regulation.

Autoimmune disease is often treated as something random, lifelong, and out of your control. But what if it's not your body malfunctioning—what if it's your immune system responding exactly the way it's designed to, to something it sees as a threat? When you understand what's driving that response, everything changes. Here's what I cover in today's episode: • The 5 key drivers—food, toxins, gut health, infections, and stress—and how they disrupt the immune system • Why diet is one of the most powerful levers for turning inflammation on or off every single day • The connection between leaky gut, the microbiome, and immune dysfunction • A practical, functional medicine framework to start reducing symptoms and addressing the condition at the root Autoimmune disease isn't random—it's the result of cumulative inputs over time. When you begin to change those inputs, you can shift your biology, calm the immune system, and change the trajectory of your health. Visit ⁠functionhealth.com for 160+ lab tests at just $365 a year.

What if boosting your immune system is the wrong goal?  Today, Dr Giulia Enders explains how boosting immunity may increase inflammation and why your symptoms are often part of your body's defence. Your immune system is not failing when you feel sick. It is trying to protect you. So what should you focus on instead? That's the idea at the very heart of Giulia's new book, Organ Speak. Giulia is a gastroenterologist and author whose previous book, Gut, sold eight million copies and helped convince the world that gut health was worth taking seriously. She explains how the immune system really works and why symptoms like a runny nose, cough, or fever come from your body, not the infection itself. You'll learn how sugar may push the immune system toward inflammation, how stress can weaken it, and why sleep is key for producing immune cells. This episode also explores how exercise helps regulate your immune response. The core idea is simple: health is not about making your immune system stronger. It is about keeping it balanced. By the end of this episode, you will have practical ways to support that balance and habits to help your immune system respond in the right way. If the sneezing, runny nose, fever - all of it - are actually the whole point, how much energy should you spend in suppressing them?
