Free article to learn more: Understanding the Differences: Conventional Medical Care, Functional Medicine, and Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic CareDr. Tony Ebel explores the three main approaches to children's healthcare: conventional medicine, functional medicine, and neurologically focused chiropractic care. Dr. Ebel explains why he believes that while each approach has its place, neurologically focused chiropractic care addresses the deepest root causes of many chronic childhood conditions by targeting nervous system dysfunction. Drawing from nearly two decades of clinical experience, he discusses how modern healthcare approaches still miss foundational issues and why addressing nervous system dysregulation can be the missing piece many families are searching for.[00:00:00] Introduction to Three Healthcare ApproachesOverview of conventional medicine, functional medicine, and Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic CareDr. Ebel introduces the concept that root causes go deeper than genetics and gut health[00:03:00] Limitations of Conventional MedicineCritique of conventional pediatric care's approach to chronic illnessThe specialist "merry-go-round" many families experience without finding answersHow the conventional medical system correlates with increasing rates of chronic illness[00:05:00] The Value and Limitations of Functional MedicineFunctional medicine's systems-based approach examining gut health, microbiome, and immune functionBenefits of diet changes, detoxes, and supplementsWhy even with extensive natural protocols, children may still struggle with chronic conditions[00:08:00] The Nervous System as the Master ControllerHow the nervous system controls all other systemsConnection between nervous system dysfunction and common conditions (autism, ADHD, sensory issues)The "perfect storm concept" explaining how early stressors affect nervous system development[00:11:00] Neurologically Focused Chiropractic Care DifferentiatorsThe three unique aspects: deeper questioning, neurological INSiGHT scans, and personalized care plansHow subluxation and nervous system dysregulation can only be addressed through chiropractic careFinding the missing link when other approaches haven't fully resolved health issues[00:13:00] Integrating All Approaches for Optimal Health-- 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.

A Functional Medicine Approach for the Best Menstrual Cycles You've Ever Had with Nicole Robinson, PharmD Today's episode dives into something that's frankly underestimated and not talked about enough: women's health. Not only are women underrepresented in clinical studies, but they're frequently told that their suffering is either “normal” or “all in their head.” Or they're prescribed a bunch of pharmaceuticals that haven't been extensively studied in their bodies, especially for long-term effects. My guest today believes that when women's health is optimized, they can GIVE 100% to their daily tasks and FIND MORE JOY in life. It's that simple. And women's health is intimately connected to their hormones, emotions, and their menstrual cycles. So let's stop making menstrual health a taboo subject, and make it a priority instead. Dr. Robinson always felt a calling to help others in the area of health and wellness. At the age of 9, she was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease that was put into remission using conventional medicine. She never forgot the kindness shown by her doctors and wanted to ‘pay it forward'. This passion for health took her to the medical field. She graduated with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from St. Louis College of Pharmacy in 2011 and began working for the U.S. Army as a pharmacist. Upon completing her time in the service, she began working for CVS pharmacy in 2017. In 2020, Dr. Robinson was introduced to the world of Functional Medicine. Within a few months, she achieved certification as a practitioner through Functional Medicine University, quit her job at CVS and branched out on her own. All this time, she recognized there were still some unresolved issues in her health. Using a holistic approach, she started doing the work, seeing results and helping others do the same. She currently owns a 1-on-1 practice where she inspires, educates and coaches women to the healthiest version of themselves.

Hey friend, Are you feeling confused by your lab results—even though your doctor said “everything looks normal”? If you're exhausted, struggling with hormone imbalance, or dealing with chronic symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, or brain fog… but still not getting answers… this week's episode is for you. On the Functional Medicine for Christian Women podcast, I'm breaking down:

In this episode, Dr. Shawn Tassone discusses the nomination of Casey Means as Surgeon General, exploring her background, credentials, and the implications of her appointment. He critiques the healthcare system, the role of functional medicine, and the influence of nutrition on health. Dr. Tassone emphasizes the importance of questioning the narratives presented by health influencers and the potential impact of the Surgeon General's role on public health policy. Episode Highlights The nomination of Casey Means Questions about her qualification Casey Means educational background Thoughts on her residency Why disillusionment in medicine is common, but quitting is controversial Why functional medicine practices are critiqued as potentially exploitative Reasons continuous glucose monitoring is viewed as a money-making scheme Evaluating Casey Means' statements which may lack evidence How the Surgeon General's role is often more symbolic than powerful Episode Resources: Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | https://www.drshawntassone.com Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormone Archetype Quiz Thank you to our sponsor, Purality Health! The question isn't which supplements to take—it's whether your body can absorb them. Most traditional supplements fall victim to stomach acid before delivering benefits. Purality Health's micelle liposomal technology creates a double-layer protective system that shields nutrients from stomach acid destruction while facilitating direct bloodstream absorption—making supplements up to 800% more effective. For perimenopausal and menopausal patients, I recommend their Vitamin D3 with K2 for bone density and mood regulation, and their exceptional magnesium formula for sleep and muscle tension. As a physician, I value their commitment to quality: cGMP-compliant facilities, purity testing, and organic, non-GMO ingredients without unnecessary fillers.

After over 25 years of practicing medicine, I'll be the first to tell you that not all supplements are created equal.

You can explore their offerings at endur.com. Not only is the science solid, but I love that Endurance Products Company is a family-run American company that has cared about doing things right since 1978. I've started recommending Dihydroberberine to my patients who struggle with blood sugar management, and the results speak for themselves. So much so, that I personally take this supplement for helping to support healthy blood sugar levels, heart health, and tap into how my body uses fats for energy As a special offer for my audience, Endurance Products Company is providing a 10% discount on your order!

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Heather Stone, a leading functional medicine practitioner with over 20 years of experience,  to unpack why so many thyroid issues go undiagnosed or mismanaged. We go beyond the standard TSH lab test to explore the real drivers of thyroid dysfunction — from gut imbalances and hormone shifts to environmental triggers often overlooked in conventional care. You'll hear why medication alone rarely resolves symptoms long term, and why a precision-based, root-cause approach is essential for lasting healing. We dive deep into Hashimoto's, autoimmune flare-ups, and the exact moments in life when women are most vulnerable to thyroid breakdown — like postpartum and menopause. If you've ever been told “your labs look normal” but you still feel off, this episode is for you. It's time to move from symptom management to root cause resolution. Key Takeaways: Identify Underlying Causes: Healing thyroid dysfunction requires looking beyond hormone prescriptions to address immune, gut, adrenal, and environmental triggers. Comprehensive Testing: Traditional TSH testing is inadequate alone; a full thyroid panel and additional health markers are crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Lifestyle Integration: Dietary changes, particularly eliminating gluten and dairy, and stabilizing blood sugar are pivotal for improving thyroid function and overall health. Functional vs. Traditional Medicine: Functional medicine offers a holistic approach that focuses on the root causes of symptoms rather than managing them with medications. Women's Health Concerns: Women are more susceptible to thyroid issues due to hormonal fluctuations and stress, necessitating tailored approaches to diagnosis and care.   More About Dr. Heather Stone, DC: Dr. Heather Stone, DC is one of the top functional medicine practitioners in the world. She has over 20 years of clinical experience in private practice. During that time she has successfully helped thousands of women overcome the symptoms of hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

Today we're diving into how to source peptides safely.  We'll talk about why where you live matters, how to find a reputable provider, and the red flags to watch out for. So if you've been curious about peptides but unsure where to start, this podcast is for you.  Why Peptides? And Why You Need to Be Cautious So first, what are peptides? In short, they're short chains of amino acids—basically, the building blocks of proteins—that signal your body to perform specific actions. Some stimulate growth hormone, others help with weight loss, repair tissue, or improve cognition. Sounds amazing, right? And they can be. But, only when used safely and under the guidance of a qualified provider. Peptides aren't regulated the way pharmaceuticals are, so it's incredibly easy to run into unlicensed sources, impure peptides, or outright scams. Why Where You Live Matters Let's talk geography for a minute. Depending on where you live—whether that's in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, or Europe and other parts of the world—the legal status and availability of peptides vary widely. In the U.S., many peptides are still considered “research chemicals,” meaning they can be sold online but not legally for human use unless prescribed by a licensed provider working with a compounding pharmacy regulated by the FDA. In Canada, peptides are more restricted, and access may require going through clinical trials or specific wellness clinics. Interestingly, in parts of Europe, peptides like BPC-157 have been in clinical use since the 1990s, as it was originally developed and researched in Croatia. So what's the takeaway? The laws in your region affect what's legal, what's safe, and what kind of provider you should be working with. That's why it's important to find someone who not only understands peptide therapy but also works within your country's regulatory framework. How to Find a Reputable Peptide Therapy Provider So now you're wondering: Okay, then who DO I trust? Great question. Let's go over some things you should look for when wanting to start a particular peptide therapy. Credentials Your provider should be a licensed clinician—an MD, DO, PharmD, PA, or NP—with specific training in peptide therapy, functional, or regenerative medicine. Bonus points if they're certified by organizations like SSRP (Seeds Scientific Research & Performance), the A4M (American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine), or IFM  (Institute for Functional Medicine). Provider Works with Licensed Compounding Pharmacies or Peptide Manufacturers Avoid providers who suggest buying your peptides online or mixing them at home. Thorough Evaluation Process Prior to Treatment The first and most critical step in a full medical workup is gathering a comprehensive medical history. This includes a detailed review of your personal health background—such as any chronic conditions, previous illnesses, surgeries, or hospitalizations—as well as your current medications and supplements. Your provider will also explore your family medical history to identify any contraindications to peptide therapy. Laboratory testing may be obtained if clinically indicated depending on the particular peptide therapy and based on your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. Another key component of a full medical workup is the functional assessment, which goes beyond lab numbers to evaluate how your body is actually performing day to day.  This includes an in-depth discussion of your sleep quality, energy levels, cognitive function, mood, libido, and overall sense of well-being. Your provider may also ask about your ability to recover from exercise, your stress resilience, and whether you're experiencing symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, or low motivation. For those seeking peptide therapy for performance or longevity, this assessment helps establish baseline functioning and goals, so treatment can be tailored not just to correct deficiencies, but to optimize quality of life and daily performance. Follow-up Care and Dosing Guidance Peptides aren't one-size-fits-all. You need personalized dosing, cycle recommendations, peptide stacking, and monitoring. If you're not getting that, you're not being cared for safely. Red Flags  “For research only” Let's get real and talk about some red flags you may come across when doing your research. The internet is full of what I like to call “peptide pirates.” These are websites that sell cheap peptides labeled “for research only.” They might even look legit, but here's the thing, there's no regulation, no guarantee of purity or potency, and no support during your peptide therapy journey. Low cost and hidden fees Keep in mind that peptides are often expensive due to several factors. They require complex, specialized manufacturing processes, which include synthesis and purification to ensure quality and purity. Additionally, high-quality peptides are typically produced in small batches by licensed compounding pharmacies or peptide manufacturers, which increases costs. The research and development and regulatory compliance required to ensure their safety and efficacy also contribute to the higher price point.  If the prices from online peptide providers/clinics seem unusually low or too good to be true, there's a high likelihood that the products are either compromised, unregulated, or not what they claim to be. And while we're on the topic of cost, I shouldn't forget to mention hidden fees. You know, the sneaky little charges that pop up after you've been lured in by the words “free consultation.” When you book that initial appointment thinking, “Okay, great. I'll get expert advice, ask a few questions, and figure out if peptide therapy is right for me.” But then what happens? What if you've got more questions after the appointment—maybe you're dealing with side effects, started a new medication and want to be sure there aren't any interactions, or your symptoms have shifted and you're thinking about adjusting your dosage. And just like that, your “free” consultation suddenly comes with a consult price tag. I've personally seen clinics charge $50 just to email a follow-up question or do a “dosage review”. And don't get me started on the “lab interpretation fees.” You either pay for your bloodwork or labs are included, but then they charge you again just to tell you what your results mean.  Cold-chain And lastly, let's not forget that peptides are delicate compounds that require specific storage conditions. Certain peptide providers may not store or ship peptides correctly, affecting their potency and stability. As a general rule, for long-term storage, peptides should be kept frozen in their lyophilized (powder) form to preserve stability. Once reconstituted, most peptides should be stored in the refrigerator and used within the recommended timeframe, typically 2–8 weeks depending on the peptide and diluents used. It's important to avoid repeatedly freezing and thawing, as this can degrade the peptide structure and reduce its effectiveness.  Recap Do your homework. Research providers in your area. Look for peptide clinics or functional or integrative clinics with peptide experience. Ask smart questions. Where do they source peptides? Are the peptides made in a cGMP, FDA-registered facility? What's their follow-up protocol? How do they store and ship their peptides? Trust your gut—and the science. If something feels off, it probably is. Safe peptide therapy is always grounded in evidence and ethical practice. Your health isn't something to gamble with. Peptides can be powerful tools—but only from a trusted source and with guidance.

Spring has officially sprung.   The birds are chirping, the plants are waking up, and the earth is on the move again. It's a beautiful time of year—and here in the Pacific Northwest, we welcome the lifting of the cold, the retreat of the rain, and the chance to head back outside to enjoy nature's splendor and get our gardens growing.   But spring's return comes at a high cost for many due to seasonal allergies.   If you're one of the millions of people who suffer from seasonal allergies, stepping outside can bring so much discomfort and suffering that it hardly seems worth it. You might choose to stay inside, avoiding the warm, sunny days simply because your allergies make being outside unbearable.   In this episode, we're diving into the dynamics of seasonal allergies. There's a lot to cover, so this will be a two-part series.   You may just be looking for remedies—and we'll get there—but first, we need some context. Understanding the "why" behind seasonal allergies provides a broader perspective on what's happening and how to identify the root cause.   In Part One, we'll explore the background and context of seasonal allergies, including: The contributing factors behind allergies and intolerance An esoteric perspective to complement physiological understanding The difference between allergies and intolerances What immunological load is—and how to remain asymptomatic   With this foundation in place, Part Two will cover the therapeutic strategy and approach.

Our healthcare system treats us like it's one size fits all, yet that's not how true healing works, especially when it comes to chronic conditions. Today's guest will help us understand how to fill the gap we experience with Western medicine, including the difference between signs vs. symptoms, and empowers our individualized healthcare. On this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck welcomes Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator Andrea Nakayama to explore why chronic conditions require more than just a diagnosis and a prescription. They unpack Andrea's “three roots, many branches” model, revealing how digestion, inflammation, and genetics lie at the heart of chronic illness—and how nurturing the "soil" around them can lead to true healing. From nutrition habits to the importance of bio-individuality, this conversation empowers you to become an informed partner in your health care.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) Intro: Our healthcare system is one size fits all(05:08) Andrea shares her motivation for her journey into functional nutrition, and a discussion of Western medicine(07:41) Should every person receive the same treatment for the same chronic condition(11:45) How to choose a guide in the health equation(16:40) Knowing the difference between your signs vs. symptoms(21:59) Andrea walks us through the “three roots and many branches” model(28:36) The roles digestion and inflammation play in our health(33:37) Tiers to nutrition mastery. Tier one is our non-negotiables(36:40) Don't neglect your passion and purpose(38:48) Andrea's non-negotiable trifecta: Sleep, poop, and blood sugarKEY TAKEAWAYS:Chronic health conditions must be understood through a systems-based lens, not just symptom management. Every chronic issue has three core roots—genes, digestion, and inflammation. Healing begins by nurturing these “roots” and the surrounding “soil,” rather than chasing individual symptoms alone. Western medicine excels in acute care but often falls short in managing chronic conditions. Patients are frequently seen through the lens of their diagnosis rather than as whole individuals, resulting in treatments that overlook their unique health histories and personal needs.One of the most powerful tools patients can use is specific, emotion-free communication based on personal health tracking. By clearly distinguishing between signs (measurable indicators like fever or rash) and symptoms (subjective experiences like fatigue or pain) and offering detailed timelines of when and how issues arise, patients empower providers to better understand and address their unique health needs.Supporting foundational health can start with three simple, non-negotiable nutrition habits: include fat, fiber, and protein at every meal or snack to help stabilize blood sugar; eat the rainbow to boost fiber and phytonutrient intake while feeding your microbiome; and know your yes-no-maybe list to understand better how specific foods impact your body. Tracking what makes you feel great, what doesn't, and what you're unsure about builds awareness and equips you to have more productive, personalized conversations with your healthcare provider.QUOTES:         (07:41) “The first two gaps I encountered were that people are treated like their diagnosis. So, when you are in the medical system, you are your endometriosis, your fibroids, your breast cancer, your PMS. You are your symptom. The other gap was that everybody with the same symptom or diagnosis was treated the same.” - Andrea Nakayama(09:34) “A chronic condition means you're sick and you're not getting better. There's things going on for a long time, and our medical system isn't trained to address chronic conditions.” Andrea Nakayama(25:32) “The three roots of any chronic condition are always our genes, digestion and inflammation.  All three need to be tended to for the branches to express themselves more fully.” - Andrea Nakayama(36:53) “We have an episode called the Longevity Equation, and one about Blue Zones and one of the big factors there that everybody seems to overlook is community and connection.” - 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 InstagramNutrition Nugget: Genes and EpigeneticsSalad With a Side of Fries: The Longevity EquationSalad With a Side of Fries: Blue Zones: A Blueprint for Physical and Mental HealthSalad With a Side of Fries: The Down and DirtyGUEST RESOURCES:Andrea Nakayama - WebsiteFunctional Nutrition Alliance  - WebsiteAndrea Nakayama - InstagramFunctional Nutrition Alliance - YouTubeAndrea Nakayama - PinterestAndrea Nakayama, Functional Nutritionist & EducatorAndrea Nakayama - Functional Nutrition Alliance | LinkedInGUEST BIOGRAPHY:Andrea is a Functional Medicine Nutritionist and educator who has led thousands of clients and teaches even more coaches and clinicians worldwide.

Send us a textThe mystery of stubborn digestive issues often leads to a single culprit hiding in plain sight: Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). In this illuminating conversation with world-renowned SIBO expert Dr. Allison Siebecker, we unravel the complexities of this common yet frequently misunderstood condition.Dr. Siebecker explains why SIBO occurs when bacteria normally found in our large intestine inappropriately colonize the small intestine, creating a cascade of symptoms from bloating and pain to irregular bowel movements. Most surprisingly, she reveals that past food poisoning episodes are the leading trigger, causing an autoimmune reaction that damages the gut's critical "housekeeper wave" – the migrating motor complex that normally sweeps bacteria away.The conversation dives deep into practical clinical wisdom, exploring why testing matters (symptoms don't reliably predict which bacterial gases are present), why treatments often fail (most cases require 2-5 treatment rounds), and why prokinetics are non-negotiable (they can quadruple remission time). Dr. Siebecker shares her preferred protocols for each type of SIBO – hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide – with specific herbal and pharmaceutical recommendations refined through years of clinical experience.Perhaps most valuable for long-suffering patients is the discussion of challenging cases. When SIBO seems impossible to resolve, underlying factors like mold illness, parasites, or histamine intolerance may be the missing piece. The episode also clarifies the confusing world of SIBO diets, explaining why the Low FODMAP diet isn't optimal for SIBO despite its popularity, and how the elemental diet can dramatically reduce bacterial levels when other approaches fail.Whether you're a clinician treating digestive disorders or someone struggling with persistent gut symptoms, this episode provides the roadmap you need to navigate the journey from diagnosis to lasting recovery.

In today's episode of The Root Cause Medicine Podcast, Dr. Kate Kresge sits down with Dr. Ellen Vora to discuss a revolutionary framework for understanding anxiety—not as a disorder, but as a message from the body or soul. They explore the difference between false anxiety, which stems from physiological imbalances like blood sugar crashes, sleep disruption, and inflammation, and true anxiety, which often points to deeper emotional or existential truths. You'll hear them discuss: - Why anxiety is the beginning of an inquiry—not a final diagnosis - The difference between “false” (body-based) and “true” (purpose-driven) anxiety - How nutrient deficiencies and gut imbalances can mimic psychiatric symptoms - The surprising mental health effects of hormonal birth control - How to use food as medicine to support neurotransmitter balance and calm - The dangers of benzodiazepines—and how to taper with the help of functional medicine - The power of psychobiotics, circadian rhythm, and inflammation reduction - Why GABA, inositol, and phosphatidylcholine are key to recovery - How to approach anxiety with both compassion and curiosity

Your thyroid is not just “another hormone”—it's the maestro that sets the tempo for your whole body, and it especially needs love as progesterone drops in perimenopause. But here's the problem: so many practitioners still miss the real story. If all you've had checked is your TSH and you were told “it's normal,” you could still be sidelined by sluggish thyroid symptoms—because so much more is happening under the surface. A full thyroid panel really matters. That means pushing for TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies. But it doesn't stop with testing. You need someone looking at your labs with a functional lens (the ‘optimal' prevention-focused ranges, not just “fine for the average population”) and someone who understands the nuances—like how stress, inflammation, and gut health all play a role in your thyroid feeling sluggish. Here is what we cover in this episode: Top Symptoms of Hypothyroidism: Think constipation, hair loss (even in your brows!), feeling chilly all the time, low libido, dry skin, stubborn bloating, and more. If you nod along to two or more, this episode is for you! Why “Normal” Thyroid Labs Can Still Mean Trouble: Many women have labs that come back “normal,” yet their symptoms scream otherwise. I explain why that happens and what labs you actually need. What a Full Thyroid Panel Really Looks Like: Most practitioners aren't running the full panel! I spell it out for you (hint: it's more than just TSH and T4). Reverse T3—The Missing Piece: This marker is rarely tested, but it tells you if your thyroid hormone is actually getting into your cells where it belongs, or if it's being blocked! The Role of Gut Health and Minerals: If you want lasting thyroid health (and overall well-being), you have to zero in on gut health and the minerals your thyroid loves—spoiler: copper is way more important than you think!   You may also enjoy this episode: EPISODE 43: All about thyroid health with Annabel Bateman EPISODE 114: Thyroid health in midlife: post-illness autoimmunity/hypothyroidism, why TSH will rise with iodine & this is OK, progesterone & thyroid health & more!   LIVE TRAINING: The Perimenopause Reset: From Exhausted to Energised.

Hey Friend, Can I share something I wish someone had told me a long time ago? You can eat clean, take the supplements, track your hormones, and still feel stuck if your gut isn't working the way God designed it to. I learned this the hard way. I was exhausted, moody, and constantly bloated… and nothing “worked.” Until I shifted my focus to the gut. That's when things finally started to change. → My energy came back. → My cycles leveled out. → My brain fog lifted. So this week on the podcast, I'm sharing 6 reasons why gut health is the foundation for whole-body healing.

Can "quantum biology" explain why even the healthiest people are still getting sick? In this episode, Dr. Alison Monette reveals why circadian rhythm health is the true foundation of wellness, not diet, exercise, or even supplements. She explains how morning sunlight, light exposure, and your alignment with natural cycles may matter more than anything else you're doing right now.We go deep into how Dr. Monette went from owning a CrossFit gym and practicing functional medicine, to discovering that even those models were still too centralized. Through her personal health journey and treating thousands of patients, she realized that quantum biology and decentralized health are the missing pieces, especially for those who are doing everything “right” and still not getting results.This conversation is for anyone who's burned out on biohacking, confused by contradictory nutrition advice, or who wants a simple, grounded way to build resilient, lifelong health. We unpack why blue light may be silently wrecking your sleep, how to use sunlight to reset your metabolism, and why your mitochondria are the real key to wellness. It's not about optimizing harder, it's about aligning smarter.If you've ever felt like modern life is out of sync with your biology, this episode will hit home. Plus, we explore how this all connects to Bitcoin, self-sovereignty, and why El Salvador might be the perfect place to reclaim your health.Subscribe, leave a comment with your biggest takeaway, and share this with someone who needs to hear it before they buy another supplement or sign up for another fitness challenge.Learn more about Dr. Alison Monettehttps://www.avenamedical.com/https://www.facebook.com/avenamedical/# Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: @BitcoinBeachIG: @bitcoinbeach_svTikTok: @livefrombitcoinbeachWeb: bitcoinbeach.comTimestamps:00:00 What does it mean to decentralize your health?08:00 Why functional medicine may still be too centralized12:45 Are CrossFit and extreme fitness harming your long-term health?19:00 How quantum biology reframed Dr. Monette's entire medical practice26:30 What is the most important lab test for inflammation?35:00 How circadian rhythm controls your metabolism and sleep41:00 Why morning sunlight is the most powerful health intervention48:30 Is intermittent fasting actually making things worse?57:00 What melatonin really does and how to naturally produce it1:10:00 Is sunscreen helping or harming your skin health?1:25:00 The connection between Bitcoin, sovereignty, and health decentralization#circadianrhythm #quantumbiology #biohackinglightLive From Bitcoin Beach
