Dr. Casey Kelley got diagnosed with POTS in medical school after years of fatigue, dizziness, and a heart rate that wouldn't quit. She tried multiple medications — none of them fixed anything. It wasn't until she dug into functional medicine that she discovered her POTS was actually a symptom of adrenal burnout and chronic tick-borne infections. Once she addressed those, the POTS went away. In this conversation, we get into what POTS actually is, why infections and toxins are behind so much of the immune dysfunction we're seeing right now, and the stress you've probably become "nose blind" to. Casey also shares her go-to breathing technique (and why box breathing can backfire), the three foods she pulls first with almost every patient, and the foundational pillars that apply whether you have POTS, autoimmunity, or just want to feel better. If you've ever wondered whether your diagnosis is really the full picture — or you're stuck managing symptoms without understanding why they're there — this one's for you.

GLP-1 receptor agonists have transformed weight loss and metabolic health—but what are we overlooking? In this episode of New Frontiers in Functional Medicine, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald is joined by Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj and Dr. Alexis Gonzales to explore the clinical tradeoffs of GLP-1 therapy, including lean muscle preservation, nutrient status, weight regain, and long-term metabolic health. The conversation also examines SiPore, an engineered silica-based intervention that works locally in the GI tract to slow the breakdown and absorption of carbohydrates and fats. Dr. Fitzgerald and her guests discuss findings from the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled SHINE trial, including outcomes related to A1c, visceral fat, waist circumference, cholesterol, and lean mass. They also explore how CGMs can reveal post-meal glucose patterns, why muscle preservation matters during weight loss, and how clinicians can support patients transitioning off GLP-1 medications—including those preparing for pregnancy, IVF, or surgery.

Well, you've entered the wild, wild west of menopause. Because everybody has a different theory. Today’s guest, Cindy Dupuie is here to help us untangle that mess, get some clear guidance and direction. She's a functional medicine practitioner nutritionist, whose specialty is digestion, thyroid, bloodwork, and women in their pause years. So join us for a very revealing conversation!

Cindy is the founder of A Living Balance. Where her wellness practice is focused on diet and lifestyle modification to improve metabolic health, diabetes, heart disease, and to reverse the aging process by finding the root cause of chronic disease and by correcting any imbalances found within the digestive system, in hormones, or in the detoxification system.

She's a functional medicine practitioner/nutritionist whose specialty is digestion, thyroid, blood work, and women in their Pause years. It's her goal to educate and empower women to advocate for themselves. Cindy received her BS degree in Dietetics many moons ago and then found Functional Medicine over 23 years ago when she was going through a very difficult time in her life- her digestive system was rebelling like a teenager, and was thrown into an early menopause at the age of 43. Since that time, she's never looked back and has helped 100's of clients heal through the functional medicine lens. One of Cindy's super powers is to research, connect the dots, listen and to teach. She likes to dig deep. She doesn't take things at face value. She's happiest when she's in front of an audience, even an audience of one. Along with helping her ladies in her 1:1 telehealth practice, she offers courses, lab work assessments and teaches yoga. She's also a mom and grandma. Her main goal is to help women have the ability to be their own healthcare advocate.

Does lower cholesterol equal less plaque? The answer may surprise you. On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared explores emerging research on nattokinase, a systemic enzyme derived from fermented soybeans, and its potential role in supporting cardiovascular health. He reviews a 2017 clinical trial comparing nattokinase with a commonly prescribed statin, discusses why imaging studies of arterial plaque may offer a different perspective than cholesterol markers alone, and explains how fibrin may influence plaque structure. Jared also breaks down the importance of dosage, why many studies suggest higher amounts may produce different results than standard servings, and how systemic enzymes fit into a broader heart health strategy. As always, he encourages listeners to understand the research, ask better questions, and work with qualified healthcare professionals when making decisions about their cardiovascular health.Products:NattokinaseFibrenza Systemic EnzymesSun Nutrition Vascular Defense Systemic Enzyme & N.O.

Dr. Cory Rice is a board-certified internal medicine physician who went from forensic science to running a functional medicine practice treating tens of thousands of patients in Dallas. In this conversation, we bust three autoimmune myths that keep people stuck — that autoimmune disease is rare, that there's one root cause to find, and that these conditions can't actually improve. We get into why 80% of autoimmune patients are women, what hormones have to do with immune function at every age, and why Dr. Rice went from gut-testing skeptic to making a functional stool analysis mandatory for every single new patient. His take: if the gut isn't sealed, it doesn't matter how clean you eat. If you've been told to just manage your symptoms and accept your diagnosis, this one's for you. We talk about what actually moves the needle — and why hope might be the most important deficiency to address first.

On this episode, Jared welcomes functional nutritional therapy practitioner and blood chemistry specialist Shea Sallee for a fascinating conversation about what routine blood work may reveal beyond the standard lab report. Together, they explore the difference between conventional reference ranges and functional ranges, discuss important markers like fasting insulin, GGT, ALP, ferritin, and thyroid labs, and explain how nutrient imbalances can influence overall health and well-being. They also cover the role of symptoms, blood chemistry, hair analysis, and other functional assessments in building a more complete picture of health. If you've ever been told your labs are "normal" but still haven't felt your best, this episode offers practical insights into understanding your blood work from a broader perspective.Additional Information:Shea's Health & NutritionSheasHealth.com801-492-2723Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Managing High Homocysteine with MTHFR Variants and the Role of Vitamin C in Brain Aging: Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses MTHFR genetic variants (C677T and A1298C), their links to impaired methylation, homocysteine, SAMe, mood issues, migraines, vitamin deficiencies, and pregnancy complications, noting many people are asymptomatic and some feel worse on methylated B vitamins and do better on standard formulations. Responding to a listener with C677T, high homocysteine, and borderline methylmalonic acid, she reviews optimal homocysteine targets and outlines other causes of elevated homocysteine such as hypothyroidism/subclinical hypothyroidism, kidney failure, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, inactivity, and medications (atorvastatin, methotrexate, fenofibrate). She suggests checking these factors, considering absorption issues (intrinsic factor) for B12, and trialing SAMe and more trimethylglycine, with possible pharmacologic folate if needed. She then summarizes an observational Japanese study (n=2,044 adults >64) linking lower plasma vitamin C to reduced gray matter and weaker default mode network connectivity, and notes diet and blood sugar can affect vitamin C status.

Join The Circle and use code "PODCAST": https://holplus.co/circle/ What if chronic disease, declining energy, cognitive issues, and fertility challenges are not isolated problems, but signs of a deeper disconnection from the natural world?In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, Dr. Zach Bush explores the relationship between human health and the health of our environment. Drawing from his background in internal medicine, endocrinology, cancer research, and hospice care, he explains how his search for the root causes of disease led him from the hospital and laboratory to the microbiome, soil science, and regenerative agriculture.Dr. Bush describes mitochondria as essential generators of cellular energy and explains how the microbes living within and around us help support metabolism, immunity, neurological function, and communication throughout the body. He shares his perspective on how chemical agriculture, declining biodiversity, and changes in our food systems may be affecting these biological relationships.Dr. Taz and Dr. Bush also discuss the rise of obesity, insulin resistance, autoimmune disease, cognitive decline, chronic fatigue, and infertility. Dr. Bush presents his theory that these conditions may be connected through a broader decline in metabolic energy and our increasing separation from nature.The conversation ultimately turns toward hope and practical action. Dr. Bush explains why restoring soil, supporting regenerative farmers, growing food, strengthening local communities, and spending more time in direct contact with nature may help rebuild both human and planetary health.

What if you've spent years being told that everything is “normal,” while your body is telling you something completely different? In this episode of the Health Detective Podcast, Michele Scarlet sits down with Chandra Marin, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, to explore her decades-long journey with chronic symptoms, digestive dysfunction, brain fog, anxiety, fatigue, and unexplained health challenges. Chandra's story began in her teens with severe constipation, episodes of passing out, chronic headaches, painful periods, and a feeling that her metabolism simply wasn't working like everyone else's. After contracting West Nile virus, her energy declined even further, making exercise, hiking, dancing, and everyday activities increasingly difficult. For years, conventional testing continued to come back “normal,” while her symptoms persisted. Everything changed when Chandra discovered Functional Diagnostic Nutrition and Functional Lab Testing. Instead of relying on generic advice, she finally received personalized information about what was happening inside her body. Testing revealed significant gut dysfunction, food sensitivities, bacterial imbalance, digestive issues, and other areas requiring support. One of the biggest turning points came from identifying foods her body was reacting to. Within about three weeks of following a personalized food-sensitivity-based protocol, her severe bloating and gas dramatically improved, her stomach felt normal, her energy began returning, and she lost 10–12 pounds. Chandra also shares how personalized healing protocols, metabolic typing, hormone support, and a deeper understanding of her nervous system helped improve her energy, concentration, mood, anxiety, and brain fog. Most importantly, this conversation explores the emotional side of chronic health challenges, including losing hope, gaslighting yourself, feeling ashamed, and eventually learning to trust your body again. Discover why Chandra believes your body is not the enemy, it is the authority, and why becoming your own “health detective” can be the beginning of a completely different relationship with your health.

What if everything you've been told about your "normal" thyroid labs is wrong? After years of struggling with unexplained weight gain and fatigue, I wish I had known then what I know now. My guest today, Dr. Amie Hornaman, experienced this firsthand. A former competitive bodybuilder, she suddenly found herself gaining weight and spiraling into a deep depression. Despite strict dieting and exercise, six different doctors told her she was "normal." It wasn't until she found a practitioner who looked beyond standard testing that she discovered the truth: she had Hashimoto's and was suffering from what she now calls "thyropause." In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Amie, a functional medicine practitioner and founder of the Institute for Thyroid and Hormone Optimization. We dive deep into what thyropause actually is, why standard thyroid testing is failing women, and what every woman in midlife needs to know about the connection between sex hormones and thyroid health. The medical establishment is finally catching up to what Dr. Amie and I have been saying for years. We cover everything from the science behind T2, the forgotten thyroid hormone, to why women are routinely dismissed by their doctors. You will learn what you can do right now to actually optimize your hormones, not just accept the symptoms of aging.

Send us Fan MailA 27 year old woman went to a longevity clinic in the Bronx for an NAD IV drip. Minutes later she was in cardiac arrest. She died a few hours after that. The person who ran the clinic held a medical license from the Dominican Republic, not the United States.Dr. Kevin White talks with Dr. Matt Kaeberlein, a researcher who studies why and how we age, about what that story actually tells us. His answer isn't really about NAD. It's about certainty. Kaeberlein has never seen evidence that NAD infusions help anyone, and the field's founding claim, that NAD declines with age and needs replacing, is now being questioned by the same scientists who study it. Clinics keep selling it with total confidence anyway.That same pattern shows up everywhere they go in this conversation. Kaeberlein now chairs Montana's expanded Right To Try review board, which lets biotech companies test experimental therapies on real patients once they clear a phase one safety bar, outside the usual FDA process. He explains why that could produce safety data the field has never had, and why he'd reject any therapy pitched without a real scientific rationale behind it, no matter how confidently it's sold."You don't want to listen to the people who are telling you with a hundred percent certainty, do this. And by the way, you know, buy my longevity latte."                                                    — Matt KaeberleinThey also compare LinAge2, a biological age calculator built from standard bloodwork with decades of mortality data behind it, to the consumer epigenetic age tests sold directly to the public. Kaeberlein's problem with the popular tests has nothing to do with the underlying science. It's that nobody selling them will publish the error bars, so a 20 year gap on your result could mean everything or nothing. You can't run statistics on a number you're not allowed to check.Along the way they cover why rapamycin, the drug most associated with Kaeberlein's name, might not even be his top pick anymore. A company spun out of his lab, Aura Biomedical, has found longevity molecules that also protect against radiation damage. And a new epigenetic instability test from Irena Conboy's company, Generation Lab, measures something closer to biological chaos than biological age.Follow The Daily Apple and leave a review to help more people find the show. Instagram: @KevinWhiteMDYouTube: @KevinWhiteMD Prime Health Associates

In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy is joined by Dr. Payam Hakimi, D.O., Medical Director of Body of Harmony, for a conversation she has wanted to have for years. Haylie has used homeopathy since she was two, raised her kids on it, and now has two physicians at the Institute for Neuro Immune Medicine enrolled in Dr. Hakimi's training course.  Dr. Hakimi covers how homeopathy works through the immune system to inspire the body to act rather than acting on its behalf, how dilution levels and potency affect speed and depth of response, and why the concept of constitution, the full physical, physiological, and emotional makeup of a person, is central to selecting the right medicine. He also explains what blocked elimination pathways look like clinically and how homeopathic medicines target specific detox organs to release what the body has been holding. If homeopathy has ever felt mysterious or inaccessible, this episode of Fast Metabolism Matters makes it clinical, clear, and actionable. If your body feels like it's running on empty, overburdened, or just not responding the way it used to, Haylie's latest book, Toxic Overload, tells you exactly what to do.

Functional wellness practitioner Hali Laricey reads standard lab work through a functional lens — and she's really good at finding answers in the labs your doctor stamped "normal." In this episode, we zero in on the CBC with differential, one of the cheapest and most common blood tests out there, and how its five markers can reveal chronic infections, immune stress, and early signs of autoimmune flares. Hali walks through each marker — neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils — with the functional ranges she uses and why they're tighter than what your lab report flags. She also explains why pulling three to five years of labs from your patient portal matters way more than any single draw, and shares a simple ratio you can track on your own to watch for flares. If you've ever left a doctor's appointment holding "normal" labs while still feeling terrible, this one's for you. You'll walk away knowing exactly what to request and what to look for.

What if chronic illness isn't caused by the infection everyone is trying to eliminate? On this episode of The Longevity Formula, Dr. Brandon Crawford sits down with physician, bestselling author, and chronic illness expert Dr. Bill Rawls, MD, to challenge one of modern medicine's core assumptions: that killing the pathogen is the path to recovery.After his own collapse from Lyme disease, mold exposure, and burnout, Dr. Rawls abandoned symptom-chasing medicine to study cellular health, impaired autophagy, and what he calls "terrain." He explains why Lyme, long COVID, autoimmune disease, mold illness, and fibromyalgia may all trace back to the same broken mechanism.Follow Dr. Bill Rawls, MD:Facebook – facebook.com/rawlsmd/Instagram – instagram.com/rawlsmd/LinkedIn – linkedin.com/in/bill-rawls-md/YouTube – youtube.com/@rawlsmdWebsite – rawlsmd.com/resources/Products:528 Innovations LasersNeuroSolution Full Spectrum CBDNeuroSolution Broad Spectrum CBDNeuroSolution StimpodSTEMREGEN®For more information, resources, and podcast episodes, visit tinyurl.com/3ppwdfpm

Are you experiencing anxiety, brain fog, disrupted sleep, blood sugar swings, or stubborn belly fat?In this episode of Hol+, Dr. Taz examines what she calls the modern cortisol crisis and explains how chronic stress can affect the body far beyond your emotional health.You'll learn how cortisol is supposed to rise and fall throughout the day, what can happen when that rhythm becomes disrupted, and why screens, artificial light, processed foods, caffeine, overscheduling, isolation, and poor sleep may keep the body in a prolonged stress response.Dr. Taz also walks through four commonly described stages of cortisol dysregulation, from elevated daytime cortisol to feeling wired at night and eventually completely depleted. She explains how cortisol may interact with blood sugar, weight, inflammation, reproductive hormones, thyroid function, mood, and cognitive health.The episode concludes with practical ways to support a healthier stress response through consistent sleep, morning light, balanced meals, nutrient support, time in nature, intentional recovery, and stronger family connection.In this episode: How cortisol functions as part of the stress response• Why high cortisol may contribute to palpitations, blood sugar instability, and belly fat• What it means to feel tired during the day but wired at night• Four commonly described stages of cortisol dysregulation• How chronic stress can affect hormones, mood, and inflammation• How cortisol patterns may be evaluated• Why sleep and light exposure are foundational• How nutrition and meal timing may support recovery• Why stress regulation should involve the entire familyThe symptoms discussed in this episode can have many possible causes. “Adrenal fatigue” is not recognized as a formal diagnosis by major conventional medical organizations.

What if sustainable weight loss isn't about eating less, but about fixing what's happening beneath the surface? In this inspiring episode of the Health Detective Podcast, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P) Lori Balue shares how she transformed her health after decades of obesity, Metabolic Dysfunction, PCOS, Prediabetes, Depression, Anxiety, Chronic Inflammation, asthma, and failed dieting. Despite trying countless calorie-restricted diets, lasting results only came after addressing the hidden stressors driving her body's dysfunction. Lori explains how Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, Functional Lab Testing, and a Root Cause Healing approach helped uncover the underlying factors affecting her metabolism. Through Food Sensitivity Testing, GI-MAP analysis, HTMA mineral testing, metabolic typing, nervous system support, circadian rhythm optimization, and personalized nutrition, she developed a Functional Wellness strategy that ultimately helped her lose more than 100 pounds and maintain her results. During this conversation, Michele and Lori discuss why Metabolic Health is about far more than calories. They explore how chronic inflammation, Food Sensitivities, Gut Health, insulin resistance, protein intake, Blood Sugar regulation, Nervous System balance, and personalized Healing Protocols influence long-term health, body composition, and healthy aging. Lori also shares how removing inflammatory trigger foods, improving Gut Function, supporting Hormone Balance, restoring mineral status, and prioritizing protein transformed her energy, eliminated chronic asthma symptoms, reduced joint pain, improved mobility, and allowed her to confidently hike challenging mountain trails well into her sixties. Whether you're struggling with Weight Gain, PCOS, Prediabetes, Chronic Inflammation, Gut Dysfunction, Food Reactions, Metabolic Dysfunction, or simply want to optimize your health through Functional Medicine, Functional Nutrition, and evidence-based lifestyle strategies, this episode offers practical insights and real hope that lasting Health Transformation is possible at any age. ______________________________________ Join Us for the Health Coach Intensive Workshop Aug 10-27 2026 Click the Link for more Info ⤵️ http://fdntraining.com/healthcoach ______________________________________   Subscribe to the Health Detective Podcast for more conversations on Functional Health, Root Cause Medicine, Functional Diagnostics, Healthy Aging, and natural strategies for lifelong wellness. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER This content is for education only and is not medical advice.

Welcome back to Late Boomers! We're Cathy and Merry, and we're thrilled to bring you another inspiring and empowering episode that will challenge the way you think about your health, medications, and aging well.In this episode, we dive deep into the world of functional medicine with Jen Germain, a certified functional medicine health coach who has helped over 200 clients transform their lives through personalized lifestyle changes, nutrition, and whole-body healing. Jen brings her own powerful story of overcoming a daunting Crohn's diagnosis and shows us why a prescription for life doesn't have to be the final word.We open up the conversation about why so many of us end up on multiple medications as we age and why "managing symptoms" isn't the same as true healing. Together with Jen, we explore the surprising root causes of chronic illness that conventional medicine often overlooks, such as stress, poor sleep, and mindset, and learn actionable strategies for taking back control of our well-being.Whether you're struggling with a new diagnosis, feeling dismissed by conventional doctors, or just ready to create a new health chapter, this episode will give you hope, practical tools, and the motivation to be your own advocate.Key TakeawaysMedication is not always destiny: The conversation focused on how a chronic diagnosis does not mean you're sentenced to medication for life. Functional medicine investigates and addresses the root causes, not just the symptoms.Advocacy is essential: A key theme that emerged was the importance of self-advocacy in healthcare. The discussion explored sample questions to ask your physician and encouraged listeners not to settle if they feel dismissed or unheard.Lifestyle changes work: One concept discussed was the power of personalized changes in diet, stress management, relationships, sleep, and even light exposure. Small consistent changes can add up to big improvements—even later in life.Mindset matters: The discussion explored how mindset, self-talk, and beliefs (“I'll always be this way” or “I can't live without sugar”) can quietly sabotage healing. A positive mindset and self-love are critical to any health transformation.It's never too late: Several points were raised, including real-life examples from older adults who saw remarkable improvements in their health and quality of life proving it's never too late to start taking positive steps.If you've ever wondered if you could do more for your health or if “treating the root cause” instead of just managing symptoms sounds appealing this episode is for you!Be sure to:Listen now and become an active participant in your own healthcare journey.Share this episode with a friend or loved one who needs motivation or a fresh perspective.Subscribe to Late Boomers Podcast on your favorite platform and on YouTube so you never miss an inspiring conversation.Connect with Jen Germain at Compass Health Coaching LLC or find her on social media for more practical tips and support.Remember what we always say: It's never too late to rethink what's possible.

Can grief cause physical symptoms? Learn how loss may affect cortisol, inflammation, hormone balance, heart health, sleep, energy, and the nervous system. Grief is not only an emotional experience. It can affect the brain and body, yet many people feel pressured to stay strong, move on, or process their loss alone. In this episode, grief expert David Kessler explains what grief does to us physically and emotionally, why grief must be witnessed, and how meaningful healing can begin.We explore the five stages of grief, why they are not linear, and the misconceptions surrounding denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. David also shares how losing his 21-year-old son led him to identify meaning as the sixth stage of grief and explains why meaning is not found in the tragedy itself, but in what we choose to do afterward.David and Dr. Taz discuss the physical symptoms of grief, broken heart syndrome, post-traumatic growth, isolation, grief in men, and what to say when someone you love is grieving. They also explain why grief can result from divorce, betrayal, job loss, illness, lost identity, or the loss of the future you expected, not only the death of a loved one.This conversation is for educational purposes and should not replace individualized medical or mental health care. Chest pain and other concerning physical symptoms should always be evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional.Subscribe for weekly conversations about physical, emotional, and spiritual health, and comment below: What do you wish more people understood about grief?About David Kessler:David Kessler is one of the world's leading experts on grief and loss. He co-authored two books with Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, including On Grief and Grieving, and later introduced meaning as the sixth stage of grief in his bestselling book Finding Meaning.His first book, The Needs of the Dying, received praise from Mother Teresa.

What if everything you've been told about detoxifying your body is backward? After years of trying every functional medicine protocol, I wish I had known then what I know now about therapeutic plasma exchange. My journey with plasma exchange started a few months ago when I was looking for ways to address my own toxic burden. I was immediately presented with several options, including various binders, saunas, and IV therapies. Then, I discovered the profound impact of actually removing the plasma that carries these toxins. In the last year, I have opted to explore plasma exchange, and the results have been incredible. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Paul Savage, former ER doctor, now functional medicine physician and founder of MDLifespan. We dive deep into what therapeutic plasma exchange actually is, why standard detox methods often fail for severe toxic burdens, and what everyone needs to know about chronic inflammation right now. The medical establishment is finally catching up to what Dr. Savage has been practicing for years. We cover everything from the science behind plasma exchange and how it compares to standard treatments, to why environmental toxins are the root cause of so many chronic illnesses. You will learn what you can do right now to actually reduce your toxic load, not just manage the symptoms. What you'll learn in this episode: Why standard detoxification methods often fail to remove forever chemicals and plastics  What therapeutic plasma exchange is and how it mechanically dilutes the body's toxic burden  Why pacing the treatments a month apart is crucial to avoid severe Herxheimer reactions  How the increase in environmental toxins is driving chronic fatigue, autoimmune issues, and cognitive decline  Why the source of the albumin used in the exchange is a critical safety factor  The truth about chronic infections like Lyme and how reducing toxins helps the body fight them  How to effectively minimize your exposure to toxins in your daily environment About Dr. Paul Savage: Dr. Paul Savage is a functional medicine physician, author, and founder of MD Lifespan. He spent 10 years as an emergency room physician before his own health crisis led him to integrative medicine. He now helps patients with severe chronic illnesses truly heal by addressing their toxic burden through specialized plasma exchange protocols.

Tiffany Kaloustian was told lupus was basically the end of the life she expected. In her twenties that landed like a life sentence — heavy meds, little education, and a lot of grief. We talk about what changed when she stopped wearing the diagnosis as her identity and started treating healing like a dance: hard days included, mindset and nervous system first, and food and root-cause care that actually moved her markers. If you have been living under a diagnosis like it already decided your future, this episode is for you. Come for the honesty. Stay for the reminder that a label does not get the final word.

On this episode, Jared and Jen introduce a new Full Moon Parasite Cleanse Protocol designed in conjunction with Cellcore Biosciences, to make parasite cleansing simpler, more affordable, and easier to follow than a comprehensive 90-day program. They explain why timing a cleanse around the full moon matters, discuss the role parasites may play in common symptoms like fatigue, bloating, brain fog, cravings, and digestive discomfort, and walk through each phase of the protocol - from drainage support and binders to rebuilding the gut afterward. They also compare this protocol to their original 90-day parasite cleanse, discuss who may benefit from each approach, and share practical tips for minimizing discomfort during a cleanse. They also explain the included symptom quiz, companion eBook, and how to choose the approach that best fits your health goals.Products:Full Moon Parasite Cleansing Protocols3 Month Parasite Cleansing ProtocolCellCore CoreMend GI Constipation Support Additional Information:Parasite Burden Quiz359: Comprehensive Detoxification of Parasites, Lyme, and Other Toxins With Dr. Todd Watts of CellCore Biosciences431: Are Parasites Part of Your Health Concerns?

I am not nearly as concerned about my lifespan as my health span. I'd rather live 10 years less but be very capable physically and mentally than to linger an extra 10 years while physically and mentally impaired. I'm not much for gimmicks and hacks that address one thing and are promoted as cure alls. I don't believe in it. So with all that said, in this episode we are talking about muscle. My expert on the topic is Dr Gabrielle Lyon. I've known of Gabrielle for a long, long time through Functional Medicine circles. Her focus and expertise is Muscle-Centric Medicine. I am now a believer that a certain amount of muscle mass is critical for healthy aging. Not just for your physical capabilities, but also your mental abilities. I'm convinced all aspects of our bodies are intrinsically connected and the muscle in your bicep doesn't just help you lift things well, that muscle works to fortify and fuel your entire body, brain included. Since this recording, I'd say Gabrielle's notoriety has exploded. She has become the #1 evangelist, spokesperson, and recognized expert for the benefits of muscle and a primary leader in health and wellness overall. That said, I sometimes struggle with possibly a bit too much focus being given to muscle alone, and how much. I still enjoy running and riding and hiking and walking and endurance activities. But, I maintain a consistent, almost daily routine of push ups, pull ups, and dips, and will probably add more resistance activities over time. But I think you will gain valuable info from this discussion on aspects of muscle that you can address right away. I reference some of Gabrielle's book, Forever Strong: A New, Science-Based Strategy for Aging Well, and you can find her podcast at The Dr Gabrielle Lyon Show.

Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist in New York City, discusses the growing shift from symptom-only “sick care” to a clinically grounded holistic approach to health and recovery. She argues that self-guided wellness routines can leave gaps when underlying medical issues, mental health conditions, substance use disorders, or trauma remain unaddressed, and emphasizes integrating evidence-based clinical evaluation (including labs and deficiency testing) with lifestyle practices. She explains how treating symptoms in isolation misses connections (e.g., stress, sleep, grief) and defines true holistic care as addressing physical, mental, emotional, relational, environmental, and purpose-related factors without rejecting medical treatment. Key components include consistent movement, individualized nutrition built on basics, nervous system regulation (sleep, nature, breathing, meditation/prayer), meaningful social connection, and a sense of purpose as clinically relevant to resilience.

In this episode we sit down with Dr. Sean Altman who is changing the game of treament. Dr. Sean Altman is a Functional Medicine Doctor at Reverse Time Wellness in Stamford. His work is centered on helping patients understand the true root causes of pain, injury, movement dysfunction, and poor recovery — not just treating symptoms or reacting to imaging findings alone.   Dr. Altman developed his clinical approach around the concept of Orthopedic Functional Medicine, a model that combines advanced orthopedic evaluation with the root-cause thinking of functional medicine. Rather than looking at the body as a collection of isolated joints, muscles, or diagnoses, he evaluates how the entire system is functioning: tissue quality, movement patterns, strength, stability, inflammation, recovery capacity, biomechanics, and the deeper factors that may be preventing the body from healing properly.   Dr. Sean Altman | Surgery-Free Pain Management | Regenerative Biophysics Only buy what you need, use Think Fitness Life's trusted affiliates when the service/supplement is right for you.  For Physical Assistance Think Fitness Life Coaching is backed by 25 years of Experience guiding people to fitness freedom.

https://holplus.co/appointments Are we over-treating breast cancer? Learn why metabolic dysfunction may be the real driver behind many diagnoses and how to rethink treatment.Approximately 20 to 30 percent of screen detected breast cancer cases are treated unnecessarily. This video challenges the current standard of breast cancer treatment by focusing on the underlying metabolic health factors that often go unaddressed. If you are concerned about the current approach to screening or are looking for a more preventative perspective, this discussion provides a critical look at how we diagnose and manage the disease.We break down the three major drivers that contribute to long-standing metabolic dysfunction. By identifying these root causes, we can move toward a more accurate breast cancer diagnosis and more effective, targeted strategies for long-term health.Subscribe for weekly health and metabolic disease breakdowns, and comment below with your thoughts on these new findings.If you are navigating cancer treatment or recovery, concerned about inflammation, or want personalized support for your hormones and nutrition, explore related Hol+ care options here:Cancer Support:https://holplus.co/services/cancer-support/Inflammation:https://holplus.co/conditions/inflammation/Hormone Balancing:https://holplus.co/services/hormone-balancing/0:00 Rethinking Breast Cancer Care1:04 Meet Dr. Jen Simmons2:59 A Family History of Cancer6:53 When the Doctor Becomes the Patient12:53 Why We Focus on the Wrong Thing18:51 Navigating a Diagnosis23:24 The Flaws in Mammographic Screening35:17 A New Paradigm for Breast Health*About Dr. Jenn Simmons:*Dr. Jenn Simmons is an Integrative Oncologist, Breast Surgeon, Author, Podcast Host, and the founder of PerfeQTion Imaging. Her journey into breast cancer care began with a personal tragedy. At the age of 16, Dr. Jenn's cousin, acclaimed singer-songwriter Linda Creed, died of metastatic breast cancer just weeks after Whitney Houston's recording of her iconic song, "The Greatest Love of All," topped the charts. This loss became a defining moment, inspiring Dr. Jenn to dedicate her life to transforming how we approach breast cancer treatment and prevention.Dr. Jenn became Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent 17 years leading the field. However, her perspective changed significantly when she became a patient herself. Through this personal experience, Dr. Jenn saw how broken the conventional medical system can be. This led her to discover and embrace functional medicine, a revelation that sparked her journey towards a more holistic approach to breast cancer care.Connect with Dr. Jenn Simmons:https://www.realhealthmd.com/https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmonsAbout Dr. Taz:Dr. Tasneem Bhatia (Dr. Taz) is a triple board-certified integrative medicine physician,bestselling author, and founder of hol+ a multi-location integrative medicine practice.Learn more: https://doctortaz.com/aboutStay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/ - Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Book a Hol+ Consultation: https://holplus.co/locations/virtual/Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsProduced by https://ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)
