Send us Fan MailHave you ever asked three people at your fertility clinic the same question—and somehow gotten three different answers?It can feel like nobody is communicating. But sometimes the explanation is more complicated.In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols takes you behind the scenes of a fertility clinic to explain how the care team actually works. Front desk staff, medical assistants, nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians, embryologists, billing teams, and office managers all have different training, experience, responsibilities, and access to information—and that can affect the answers you receive.You'll learn the important difference between knowledge gained through repetition and experience versus knowledge built on a deeper medical foundation, why the most confident answer isn't always the most individualized answer, and why a physician saying “it depends” may actually reflect more—not less—understanding of your situation.You'll also learn a simple way to figure out who should answer your question:• Administrative questions• Billing and insurance questions• Medication and treatment instructions• Clinical interpretation• Individualized medical decisions• Embryology and laboratory questionsDr. Amols also explains why yesterday's answer may legitimately be different today, how new ultrasound findings, hormone levels, embryo development, or other information can change your treatment plan, and why not every member of your fertility team may have the newest information at the same moment.Plus, we tackle the difference between communication and customization. A clinic where every patient follows the same pathway may appear incredibly consistent, while individualized fertility treatment creates more moving parts—and a greater responsibility to explain why the plan changes.Most importantly, you'll learn two questions that can prevent a tremendous amount of frustration during IVF or fertility treatment:“Did something change?”and“Who is the best person to answer this question?”Sometimes different answers really do mean there is a communication problem. Other times, the answer changed because your care changed.If you've ever felt confused about who to call, who to trust, or why you're hearing different information during IVF, IUI, fertility testing, or embryo transfer treatment, this episode will help you navigate your fertility clinic with much more confidence.Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday' with Dr. Mark Amols.

Labor Live is your chance to practice navigating labor before you're actually in it. This interactive birth simulation delivers real-life labor scenarios straight to your phone, letting you make decisions, explore your options, and learn what questions to ask your provider along the way. Labor Live starts September 1. Head to https://joinlaborlive.com/ to save your spot! Low amniotic fluid can be one of those pregnancy diagnoses that sends you straight into a Google rabbit hole. So in this episode, HeHe sits down with board-certified OBGYN Dr. Lawren Honken to break down oligohydramnios, what it actually means, how it's diagnosed, and when low fluid may or may not mean it's time to induce. Dr. Lawren explains how providers measure amniotic fluid, including the difference between the single deepest pocket and AFI, and why one measurement may give us a more useful picture than the other. They also dig into what can contribute to low fluid, from dehydration and placental function to hypertension, preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, ruptured membranes, and other pregnancy complications. And then we get into the big question: Does low amniotic fluid automatically mean you need an induction? Spoiler: it's more nuanced than that. HeHe and Dr. Lawren talk through hydration and repeat ultrasounds, fetal monitoring, the risks associated with truly low fluid, ACOG guidance for isolated oligohydramnios, and what happens when you're trying to decide whether to continue the pregnancy or move toward delivery. They also have a really important conversation about informed consent, trauma-informed care, provider communication, and why a diagnosis shouldn't automatically mean you're rushed into a decision without understanding your options. Because sometimes the most empowering thing your provider can give you isn't another intervention. It's information, context, and the space to make an informed decision about your own body and baby. If you've been told you have low amniotic fluid, you're being monitored for oligohydramnios, or you're trying to understand when an induction is actually medically indicated, this is one you want in your back pocket.

In this episode of Communicable, Amy Legg (Brisbane, Australia), Rekha Pai Mangalore (Melbourne, Australia) & Angela Huttner (Geneva, Switzerland) return for the third part of the ‘We will make you love PK/PD' series. The hosts are joined by two experts, Amanda Gwee (Melbourne, Australia) & Sebastian Wicha (Hamburg, Germany), to dive into an important application of PK/PD: model-informed precision dosing (MIPD), and how it allows for more informed, individualised dosing decisions. The episode also covers the open-access educational tools, KidsCalc and TDMx, developed by Gwee and Wicha respectively, and the steps clinicians can take to put MIPD into practice, keeping the individual patient at the centre of dosing decisions.Resources TDMx, https://www.tdmx.eu/KidsCalc, https://www.kidscalc.org/Further readingBroeker A, et al.

While many people associate it with weight loss or social media trends, there's much more to the conversation than that.In this episode, I'm joined by Casey Ruff, host of Boundless Body Radio, for what became one of the most in-depth discussions I've had on the podcast surrounding carnivore nutrition, ketogenic diets, and metabolic health.Together, we explore the science behind these approaches, why some individuals choose them for reasons far beyond weight loss, and the importance of recognizing that nutrition is rarely one-size-fits-all. We also discuss protein, metabolic flexibility, differences between men and women, GLP-1 medications, what Casey actually eats in a day, and why asking better questions about our health may be more valuable than searching for one perfect diet.Whether you're simply curious about carnivore or you've been hearing more about it lately, I hope this conversation helps you better understand the thinking behind this approach.We discuss:Casey's journey into ketogenic and carnivore nutrition, and why it was never part of the original plan. The differences between ketogenic and carnivore diets. Why some people explore these approaches for therapeutic and medical reasons beyond weight loss. Common misconceptions surrounding carnivore. Protein, metabolic health, and metabolic flexibility. Important considerations for women versus men. Individualized nutrition and why there is rarely a one-size-fits-all approach. GLP-1 medications and the broader conversation around metabolic health. What a day-in-the-life of eating looks like for Casey.Practical advice for someone who is simply "carnivore curious."Connect with Casey and Boundless Body Radio:Website: myboundlessbody.comPodcast on Apple: Boundless Body Radio on Apple PodcastsPodcast on Spotify: Boundless Body Radio on SpotifyYouTube Channel: Boundless Body LLC on YouTubeConnect with Vanessa and the podcast: Click here to explore the Intentionally Well Affiliate & Discount HubIWP Website: Intentionally Well PodcastSubstack: Intentionally Well ReflectionsPodcast on InstagramVanessa on InstagramPodcast on YouTubeVanessa on TikTokVanessa on XEmail: intentionallywellpodcast@gmail.comSupport the showThis episode is for informational purposes only.

Statins lower heart risk and may reduce dementia, but must be tailored by risk level—Dr. Kahn explains the nuances. #StatinUse #PersonalizedMedicine #DementiaPrevention #HeartCare

For decades, women have been told that hormone replacement therapy causes breast cancer, but where did that message come from, and is it the full story? In this episode, Mary Alice Haney is joined by former SheMD executive producer and award-winning storyteller, Ami Armstrong, to unpack the Women's Health Initiative, the landmark study that changed the course of menopause care for an entire generation. Together, they explore how one of the largest women's health studies ever conducted became one of the most misunderstood, and why many experts are working to correct the narrative today.Mary Alice and Ami break down the difference between relative and absolute risk, discuss how media headlines fueled decades of fear around hormone therapy, and explain what today's research says about menopause treatment. They also examine why women have historically been left out of medical research, the importance of personalized healthcare, and how understanding your own risks can empower you to make informed decisions alongside your doctor.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) presents significant challenges in both diagnosis and long-term disease management. As consensus definitions, emerging targeted therapies, and research into serologic biomarkers evolve, how can clinicians optimize individual care algorithms? In this follow-up discussion, Karissa Gable, MD, Duke University Medical Center, breaks down recent breakthroughs in CIDP care and trial design: - Standardizing CIDP Terminology: Key updates from the new international consensus definitions paper establishing unified criteria for disease remission, stability, treatment response, and refractory disease. - The Emerging Pipeline: What's next in therapeutic development, including FcRn antagonists (nipocalimab and batoclimab) and complement inhibitors. - Shared Decision-Making: Practical strategies for tailoring therapy selection based on patient preferences, lifestyle, comorbidities, and administration routes. - Building Confidence in CIDP Care: Applying 2021 EAN/PNS guidelines to navigate diagnosis and ongoing treatment adjustments when first-line options fall short.

Confession: Just because your doctor ignored you doesn't mean the wellness industry automatically deserves your credit card. Women are finally talking about hormones, perimenopause, menopause, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, libido, fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and hormone replacement therapy, and that is a good thing. But now that women's hormones are trending, everyone seems to have something to sell: a test, a pellet, a peptide, a supplement stack, a detox, or a one-size-fits-all "optimization" protocol. In this episode, America's Holistic Gynecologist breaks down one of the biggest questions women are asking right now: Are Your Hormones Actually Broken… or Are You Being Sold a Problem? Dr. Tassone discusses the difference between real hormone dysfunction, normal hormonal transition, medical dismissal, non-hormonal health issues, and wellness marketing disguised as personalized care. He explains why "normal labs" do not always mean everything is fine, why symptoms matter but are not a diagnosis by themselves, and why more testing, more hormones, or more supplements do not always equal better medicine. This episode also dives into some of the most common hormone and wellness traps women are falling into, including testosterone hype, hormone pellets, "bioidentical" marketing, advanced hormone testing, peptides, NAD, supplement stacking, and fear-based wellness messaging. If you have ever been told your labs are normal but still knew something felt off, or if you have felt overwhelmed by conflicting hormone advice online, this episode will help you ask better questions, spot red flags, understand what thoughtful hormone care should actually look like, and separate real hormone care from hormone marketing.  In This Episode, Dr. Tassone Covers: Why women are being caught between medical dismissal and wellness marketing The 4 reasons women may feel "hormonal" Why symptoms matter, but symptoms alone are not always a diagnosis Why normal labs should not automatically end the conversation The difference between real hormone care and a product-based protocol Common red flags in hormone clinics, wellness programs, and online hormone advice Why testosterone can be helpful for some women, but is not a magic fix The problem with overselling hormone pellets as "natural" or universally safer Why a $700 hormone test is not the same thing as a treatment plan How peptides, NAD, longevity trends, and supplement stacks can be overmarketed What informed consent should look like in hormone care How women can tell if they are being educated, dismissed, or sold to What personalized hormone care should actually include Red Flags Dr. Tassone Wants Women to Watch For: Every woman receives the same protocol The answer is always the product, hormone, test, or supplement being sold Fear is used before physiology is explained Risks, side effects, contraindications, and alternatives are not discussed Hormone testing is used to confuse instead of clarify Symptoms are blamed on one single hormone or pathway The provider promises one thing will fix everything There is no thoughtful follow-up or dose adjustment You leave feeling broken, scared, or pressured instead of informed What Dr. Tassone Believes Good Hormone Care Should Include: A detailed medical history A clear symptom timeline Review of medications, supplements, and lifestyle factors Menstrual, perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause status Thyroid, metabolic, inflammatory, adrenal, and nutritional context Thoughtful lab testing when clinically appropriate A risk-benefit conversation Discussion of alternatives Individualized dosing Ongoing follow-up Adjustments based on symptoms, labs, and response to treatment If this episode helped you understand the difference between real hormone care and wellness marketing, share it with a woman who has been told her labs are normal but still knows something feels off.

In this episode, we discuss the complexities of blended families, emphasizing the unique challenges stepfamilies face compared to nuclear families. One concept discussed was the pressure for stepfamilies to function like traditional nuclear families, and how letting go of that expectation can relieve stress and improve dynamics. A key theme that emerged was the importance of the "soothing presence", an adult who is emotionally supportive, predictable, and present for children, which fosters trust and security. The discussion explored how children in high-conflict or blended families often take on roles to try to keep the peace or please their parents, sometimes at the expense of their own development. Several points were raised, including the detrimental effects of parent alienation, the psychological impact of inconsistency and divided loyalty, and how step-parents can best support children without overstepping boundaries. Practical strategies were shared for building relationships, encouraging self-esteem, and communicating effectively with both children and biological parents. The conversation also included personal stories, analogies, and an exploration of how life experiences, even with family pets, mirror blended family dynamics. The episode underscored that every family is different, and the most successful step-parenting comes from adaptability, humility, and providing a safe, nonjudgmental space for children to grow and heal. Key Topics Discussed The unrealistic social and personal expectations for stepfamilies to function like nuclear families The concept of "soothing presence" as the basis for trust, security, and emotional development in children Challenges of divided loyalty and parent alienation in blended family situations The negative long-term impact on kids taking on adult responsibilities within the family dynamic Differences between parenting, adulting, and befriending as a step-parent Importance of emotional predictability and consistency for children's well-being Strategies for step-parents to support children without overstepping or causing tension with biological parents Encouraging self-esteem and emotional language in children using relatable terms (e.g., "volcano mad") The value of building a unique, trusting relationship with each child based on their individual personalities Parallels between stepfamily adjustment and integrating new pets into a household Individualized approaches over generic parenting techniques The lifelong process of gaining wisdom and fostering resilience in children through supportive adult relationships

In this episode, Ryan and Jason delve into the complexities of energy systems training, debunking common myths and emphasizing the importance of individualized programming. They discuss how to build aerobic capacity, balance intensity and volume, and avoid pitfalls in zone two training.   Key  topics Energy system training principles Building aerobic base with zone two work Balancing intensity and volume in training Periodization strategies for endurance athletes Common mistakes in zone two and endurance training The importance of movement quality and tissue resilience Myths and misconceptions about high intensity and zone two The role of heart rate data and testing in training Individualized training approaches based on athlete needs    Takeaways Building a strong aerobic base takes time and patience, often 6 months to several years depending on the athlete. Effective training balances zone two work with higher intensity efforts, avoiding excessive metabolic stress. Athletes and coaches should focus on movement quality and tissue resilience to support training adaptations. Heart rate data is a valuable metric for monitoring zone two efforts, but must be used correctly. Training should be individualized, considering the athlete's history, genetics, and current fitness level. The Truth About Zone Two Training and Building Aerobic Capacity Debunking Myths in Energy Systems Training   Sound Bites "You have to build that base to increase the ceiling."

“Opioid-sparing” sounds like an automatic win until you look closely at what replaces the opioids. We take on one of the toughest questions in modern anesthesiology: how do we reduce opioid-related harm without trading it for medication interactions, kidney injury, bleeding risk, rebound pain, or poorly controlled postoperative pain?We break down what individualized multimodal analgesia really means in day-to-day anesthesia practice. That starts before the first dose is ordered, with a preoperative assessment that weighs comorbidities, baseline renal function, hydration status, and potential drug-drug interactions. We also dig into the medication safety side of multimodal protocols, including why CYP2D6 matters for common oral opioids like hydrocodone, oxycodone, and tramadol, and how CYP2D6 inhibitors such as certain antidepressants can change opioid effectiveness and even extend opioid use after discharge.Regional anesthesia remains a cornerstone, but we stay honest about the pitfalls: incomplete coverage, visceral pain that sneaks through, and the timing mismatch that can trigger rebound pain 12 to 24 hours after a single-shot block, sometimes when the patient is already home. We also discuss when continuous peripheral nerve blocks may better match the duration of perioperative stress and inflammation, plus the practical barriers that determine whether advanced regional techniques are feasible.If you care about opioid-sparing anesthesia, patient safety, and better postoperative recovery, listen and share this with a colleague.

Neck pain and headache often travel together. But as Gwen Jull and Zhiqi Liang explain in this episode, that does not automatically mean the cervical spine is driving the headache.In this AAOMPT and IFOMPT collaborative episode, hosts Amy McDevitt and Michael Boney explore the evolving science around cervicogenic headache, migraine-associated neck pain, sensitization, and clinical examination.Gwen Jull discusses the development and validation of physical criteria for cervicogenic headache, emphasizing the need for a cluster of comparable musculoskeletal signs involving joint, movement, and muscle impairments.Zhiqi Liang expands the conversation into migraine, reminding clinicians that neck pain can be part of a migraine presentation rather than proof of a cervical source. She challenges clinicians to rethink the meaning of symptom reproduction during upper cervical examination and to consider sensitivity, irritability, and migraine cycles when examining and treating these patients.Together, the guests make a compelling case for more careful clinical reasoning: listen to the patient's story, examine without over-provoking symptoms, look for comparable signs, and match treatment to the impairments that are actually present.Big takeaway: The neck may matter — but clinicians need to prove it through the whole clinical picture.Timestamped Chapters00:00 — Welcome to Hands On, Hands Off 00:31 — Introducing the AAOMPT and IFOMPT collaboration 01:19 — Meet Gwen Jull and Zhiqi Liang 03:19 — Why headache and neck pain matter to manual physical therapists 03:40 — Major shifts in clinical thinking around cervicogenic headache 04:09 — Validated physical criteria for cervicogenic headache 05:37 — Joint, movement, and muscle signs 07:33 — The physiotherapist's role in differential diagnosis 08:02 — How headache can refer pain into the neck 08:51 — Are cervicogenic headache and migraine distinct or a spectrum? 09:26 — Migraine as a primary neurological condition 11:33 — Sorting out mixed headache presentations 12:05 — Patient history clues: migraine vs cervicogenic headache 13:27 — Comparable signs and why intensity matters 14:51 — How much does pain location matter? 16:20 — Why no single feature is enough 17:17 — Neck pain in migraine may not be a neck problem 17:53 — Rethinking symptom reproduction during examination 19:22 — How to decide whether the neck is a driver 20:01 — Avoiding confirmation bias 21:27 — Why non-provocative examination matters 23:08 — Scapular dysfunction and other regional contributors 24:37 — Broadening beyond the diagnostic cluster 26:05 — Sensory-motor control, dizziness, and balance 28:41 — Local cervical findings and global systems 29:31 — Listening for migraine evolution over time 30:46 — Central sensitization and comparable physical findings 31:28 — PIVM vs PAVM assessment considerations 32:08 — Avoiding symptom provocation in migraine 33:04 — Migraine cycles and changing sensitivity 34:36 — Trial treatment and rigorous re-evaluation 35:41 — Individualized care beyond guidelines 36:19 — Who may benefit from a cervical-focused approach? 37:07 — Education, exercise, sleep, stress, and lifestyle strategies 39:02 — Let the physical exam guide treatment 39:46 — PTs as rehabilitation experts, not just pain reducers 41:38 — One assumption clinicians should rethink tomorrow 42:12 — Don't forget the jaw 42:27 — Neck pain may reflect sensitivity, not source 43:16 — Final reflections and closing

Got a show or guest idea? Send us a text!Visit: TruDose.com for more informationWhy Platelets MatterFor a long time, platelets were thought of mainly as the cells that help your blood clot. But new research shows they do much more (“Clickable link” Holland 2026 paper citation) Platelets act as the body's natural cellular adaptogen—the most important cells circulating in the bloodstream capable of helping the body respond to stress. They act like first responders, helping the body handle physical stresses like injury or illness, emotional stresses like anxiety or trauma, and environmental stresses like pollution or poor nutrition. Platelets carry key signals and growth factors that let them sense what the body needs and respond quickly, supporting adaptation and healing through all phases of stress, including the alarm, resistance, and exhaustion stages.What's truly exciting is their potential in exhaustion-based diseases—conditions where the body's ability to cope with stress has been pushed beyond its limits. These include chronic fatigue syndrome, post-viral syndromes like long COVID, fibromyalgia, adrenal or hormonal exhaustion, and chronic burnout. In these states, traditional therapies often fail because the body's natural adaptive systems are depleted. Platelets, as cellular adaptogens, may help restore balance, improve resilience, and guide recovery where other approaches struggle, offering a whole new way to address chronic, unresolved, or stress-exhaustion conditions.This opens up powerful possibilities for treatment. Because platelets are naturally adaptive, their benefits depend on delivering the right dose at the right time. This is where TruDOSE(™) comes in to play! By working with the body's own adaptive powers in a precise, individualized way, we can go beyond one-size-fits-all therapies and support each person's healing more effectively. Platelets aren't just for repair—they're central players in the body's natural self-healing process, and at the right dose, they unleash powerful healing that may be key to treating stress-related and exhaustion-phase diseases.Platelets are often known for their role in blood clotting. TruDOSE research has helped expand that understanding.Platelets help coordinate how the body responds when conditions change. Through biological signaling, they participate in immune modulation, vascular homeostasis, metabolic regulation, and systemic homeostasis.No two people have identical platelet characteristics. That variation matters. How platelets are prepared can influence how they are organized and applied within structured clinical settings. Starting with your own biology allows for a more individualized and precise preparation process.TruDOSE applies consistent preparation standards so providers can work directly with patient-specific biology rather than relying on uniform concentration models.TruDOSE works with platelet biology through:Individualized biological evaluationStructured preparation methodsData-informed calibrationProvider-guided application within clinical environmentsOur approach goes beyond standard PRP. It is not just about concentration. It is about calibration.About Tapley Holland, PhD:Innovator. Builder. Driving Force Behind TruDOSE™.Tapley Holland has been active in the stem cell and regenerative medicine field since 2005. He developed TruDOSE™ to address the limitations of one-size-fits-all approaches by enabling individualized dosing across a range of disease conditions. Beginning in 2018, his research involving thousands of patients informed precision dosing strategies and supported translational applications across multiple symptoms and disease states. This work contributed to the completion of his PhD in Stem Cell Medicine in February 2026 and to the publication “Platelets as Endogenous Cellular Adaptogens: A Review of Stress Signaling and Regenerative Implications,” which examines the role of platelets in stress response, immune modulation, and regenerative processes.

What's Changing in Autism Support (And Why It Matters) There's a major shift happening right now in how autism is approached. Instead of trying to “fix” behaviors, more professionals are moving toward: Individualized, child-centered support Strength-based development Supporting communication in multiple forms (speech, gestures, AAC) This shift is happening because families and autistic adults are speaking up—and it's reshaping care.   At the same time, there's also confusion. Some systems still rely on: One-size-fits-all therapies High-hour, compliance-based approachesIn my last podcast, we talked about natural ways to help children with autism build confidence, self-esteem, communication, and social skills. But today, I want to take this deeper—because the conversation around autism is changing rapidly, and parents are asking new questions. Not just “What helps?” But “What actually works right now?” And perhaps most importantly: “How do I help my child communicate?” Why Speech and Communication Are at the Center of Everything Right now, one of the biggest concerns parents have is speech delay. And the encouraging news is this: Recent research shows that early, supportive intervention helps many non-speaking children begin to develop language—with about two-thirds gaining single words and many progressing to phrases.   That's powerful. But here's the part that often gets missed:... Click Here or Click the link below for more details! https://naturallyrecoveringautism.com/246

What if your relationship with food isn't just about food?In this episode, I share my own struggles with disordered eating and anxious attachment, and the surprising parallels I've noticed between the two. From craving reassurance in relationships to seeking comfort or control through food, these patterns often stem from the same place - fear of abandonment, lack of safety, and a deep need for control.This is a conversation about the emotional roots beneath these behaviours and what healing has looked like for me as I've started building more security within myself.PS. On March 5th I'm hosting "The Language of the Body Workshop" which is a perfect intro to somatic therapy and will give you frameworks for understanding what it means to rewrite patterns on a subconscious level and free you of old stories, blocks, and even symptoms.Join the Becoming Secure women's membership to learn how to use somatic practices and inner work to heal anxious attachment

Fiber isn't one-size-fits-all and for some people, more isn't better. In this episode, we explore why most people under-eat fiber, why certain fibers can worsen symptoms, and how to personalize intake in a way your body can actually tolerate. Dr. Heather Armstrong shares emerging insights on fiber function, microbiome capacity, and practical strategies for going low and slow. We also unpack new science explaining why fiber supports gut health in some individuals, while triggering issues in others with reduced fermentative activity. In this episode, we discuss: • The fiber gap, health risks, and minimum intake targets • How solubility, viscosity, and fermentability guide fiber choice • Matching fiber types to IBS, diarrhea, and constipation • Why whole foods matter more than isolates • Citrus peel pectin and simple kitchen hacks • Why “low and slow” dosing reduces gas and pain • How long microbiome changes and symptom relief actually take • When fiber supplements help (and when they don't) • Individualized fiber needs in IBD (and implications for IBS, MS, and liver disease) • Why dietitians are essential for precision nutritionThis episode is especially relevant if you've been told to “just eat more fiber”—and it didn't go well.Learn more about Dr. Heather Armstrong's novel research:Gut feeling: new test and precision diet could boost health for people with IBD.
