35 Let your loins be girt, and lamps burning in your hands.Sint lumbi vestri praecincti, et lucernae ardentes in manibus vestris, 36 And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.et vos similes hominibus exspectantibus dominum suum quando revertatur a nuptiis : ut, cum venerit et pulsaverit, confestim aperiant ei. 37 Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when he cometh, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and passing will minister unto them.Beati servi illi quos, cum venerit dominus, invenerit vigilantes : amen dico vobis, quod praecinget se, et faciet illos discumbere, et transiens ministrabit illis. 38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.Et si venerit in secunda vigilia, et si in tertia vigilia venerit, et ita invenerit, beati sunt servi illi. 39 But this know ye, that if the householder did know at what hour the thief would come, he would surely watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open.Hoc autem scitote, quoniam si sciret paterfamilias, qua hora fur veniret, vigilaret utique, et non sineret perfodi domum suam. 40 Be you then also ready: for at what hour you think not, the Son of man will come.Et vos estote parati : quia qua hora non putatis, Filius hominis veniet.St Philip founded the Oratorian Congregation. Inflamed with divnine love, he brought thousands of souls back to God. He died A.D. 1595.

“What if depression isn't just in your head—but in your immune system?” — Dr. Edward Bullmore, The Inflamed Mind What if your depression isn't psychological—but inflammatory? In this explosive episode, we connect the dots between Dr. Edward Bullmore's book The Inflamed Mind and the ongoing mystery of long COVID. We explore how spike protein, chronic immune activation, and persistent inflammation could be driving brain fog, anxiety, and fatigue in millions. This isn't conspiracy—this is cutting-edge science ignored because it makes people uncomfortable. No politics, just biology. And maybe… a path toward healing.

Episode 25:17 You're Not Sick… You're Inflamed. Here's What To Do About It Most chronic diseases have one thing in common. One “root” cause: Inflammation. For example, chronic inflammation has been linked to Alzheimer's, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, autoimmune disorders, depression, anxiety, headaches, joint pain, IBS, colitis, bronchitis, psoriasis, and eczema. Reducing the level of inflammation in your body can go a long way towards treating and/or preventing these conditions. On this episode I share with you how. Specifically, I reveal a three step program that will do wonders for reducing chronic inflammation in your body… thereby helping you reverse and/or prevent disease. Included in this program are whole food nutritional supplements that are specifically geared at helping your body tame the flames of inflammation in a natural manner. Give this episode a good listen especially if you, or anyone you know, suffer with a chronic disease. And, as always, please share this episode with a friend.  Thanks! ———————- Want to learn more?

When it comes to transforming and healing our bodies, our culture is heavily fixated on quick fix inputs. Food, supplements, gummies, trading your coffee for that trendy new herbal tea, eating more protein, trying the latest sugar alternative…the works.  People do just about everything to improve their health via what they put into their bodies, and it doesn't work. Why? Because they don't take the time to examine the environment they're putting those things into.  If your internal terrain is broken, clogged up, inflamed, contaminated and compromised, no amount of optimization or miracle ingredient will work. People are walking around with stored up toxic waste and debris in their bodies, and it affects them physically, spiritually and emotionally.  In order to truly transform, we need to detoxify before we try anything else. How do we begin to detoxify a body clogged with debris? How do we start experiencing our birthright aliveness? In this episode, we're joined by Holistic Health and Detoxification Coach, Meghan Swidler. She shares why all healing begins with an unclogged internal terrain, and how we make it happen.  Things You'll Learn In This Episode  -Symptoms are a miracle  When you have a detached relationship with your body, it's really easy to ignore all the ways it's telling you something is wrong. How do you know your body desperately needs a detox? -Clarity inside, elevation outside  For so many people detoxifying their bodies creates a cascade of breakthroughs, miracles and opportunities in other areas of their lives. Why does this happen?  -Cleansing is a process not an event In this instant gratification culture, we might expect internal cleansing to be instantaneous. Why does it often get worse before it gets better? Guest Bio Meghan is a Holistic Health and Detoxification Coach - specifically an expert in deep cellular cleansing & detoxification specializing in colon, liver, parasite, mold, and heavy metal detox. She currently supports high-performing individuals—founders, co-founders, entrepreneurs, CEOs, and other corporate leaders—who are struggling with gut, hormone, thyroid, energy, skin, or any other physical symptoms to help them cleanse their bodies, transform their health, and upgrade their lives—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—to reach their full potential. She is also the author of From Within — a comprehensive gut health guide and of From Deep Within — a comprehensive and revolutionary deep cellular cleansing and detoxification guide, an advisor to a health-focused venture capital fund, a creator on Instagram and on LinkedIn, and an angel investor in consumer health tech companies.

Highly processed vegetable oils, derived from seeds and beans, have become a dominant part of modern diets despite significant health concerns. Historical biases in nutrition science, influenced by the vegetable oil industry, have promoted these oils despite evidence from controlled studies showing negative health outcomes. These oils are unstable, prone to oxidation, and can create toxic byproducts, particularly when exposed to heat, contributing to inflammation and chronic diseases. Although they can lower LDL cholesterol, studies have shown that this reduction does not necessarily improve heart health and may increase risks for other conditions like cancer. In contrast, traditional fats like extra virgin olive oil and omega-3-rich foods offer more stability and health benefits, emphasizing the need for a balanced, minimally processed approach to dietary fats. In this episode, I talk with Nina Teicholz and Max Lugavere to explore the health impacts of different types of fats and oils, debunking misconceptions around cooking with extra virgin olive oil and emphasizing the dangers of industrial vegetable oils. Nina Teicholz is a science journalist and author of the New York Times bestseller, The Big Fat Surprise, which upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat—especially saturated fat—and spurred a new conversation about whether these fats in fact cause heart disease. She is also the founder of the Nutrition Coalition, a non-profit working to ensure that government nutrition policy is transparent and evidence-based—work for which she's been asked to testify before the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Canadian Senate. Max Lugavere is a health and science journalist and the author of the New York Times best-seller Genius Foods: Become Smarter, Happier, and More Productive While Protecting Your Brain for Life, now published in 10 languages around the globe. His sophomore book, also a best-seller, is called The Genius Life: Heal Your Mind, Strengthen Your Body, and Become Extraordinary and latest book Genius Kitchen. Max is the host of a #1 iTunes health and wellness podcast, called The Genius Life. Max appears regularly on The Dr. Oz Show, The Rachael Ray Show, and The Doctors. He has contributed to Medscape, Vice, Fast Company, CNN, and The Daily Beast, has been featured on NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, and in The New York Times and People Magazine. He is an internationally sought-after speaker and has given talks at South by Southwest, the New York Academy of Sciences, the Biohacker Summit in Stockholm, Sweden, and many others.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Kavita: Your work has been a blessing to me! I have a time-sensitive question. My husband (61) has been experiencing severe pain in his right toe, affecting his ability to lift his leg. Although magnesium foot soaks and oil massages provided some relief, the pain persisted. During the holidays, he had his condition checked and was told it might be nerve-related, possibly due to his medications. He is pre-diabetic, on Metformin, and takes statins. His bloodwork showed elevated blood sugar (200) and an A1C of 11, which was shocking since he generally maintains a good diet and exercises regularly.He sees his PCP tomorrow. I am not a big believer in traditional medicine. DR. CABRAL PLEASE HELP!                       C: female age 39. i have/had an "inflamed liver" my liver area hurts basically is what i understand. this started after i was a 8 weeks into a caloric restriction aiming for about 2 lbs a week loss. my doctor gave me a liver panel and my alt was elevated. about 2 months later i felt better . i just finished a 7 day eqilife detox and it started hurting agian. i am at a loss for what is going on or how to make it better and my doctor was no help to me. really she offered no information what so ever but to stop exercising.                                                                                                                                                       Lyn: Hi Dr. Cabral! I just received my annual bloodwork, and my TSH is at 4.9 while all my other markers are normal (antibodies, T3, T4, reverse T3, T4). I have struggled with higher levels of TSH for years which fluctuates between 3-5. I have definitely listened to all your podcasts concerning the thyroid, but I just can't seem to change these numbers. I also notice that if I take anything with Iodine, the numbers go quite high. I have heard that this is normal for around 6 months -1 year as your thyroid is balancing out, but I wanted to get your thoughts. Thanks so much!                                                         Carrie: Hi Dr. Cabral. I just received my bloodwork and am stumped. It's the same as last year almost even though I've tried even more to get these fixed. My WBC count is low with neutrophils dropping even more and ALT and AST slightly elevated, and when I worked with your team in the past and others, I have been told this is some sort of virus like EBV. I never drink alcohol and all other liver markers are normal and I'm running a functional medicine protocol with a lot of biomarkers. In addition, my total iron and iron saturation are high while my ferratin is only 19. I actually donated blood last year after I saw the high iron score, but it's still high. I listened to your most recent podcast on iron, but those cofactors seem fine. I'm disheartened and stumped!                                                                                     Esmira: Hello, Do you know what the underlying cause of cherry angiomas is and how to get rid of them?

What if you were ramping up for several years to run 100 miles, but then you got tendinitis? If you start getting pain because you have been doing lots of hill repeats, you could get irritation of the FHL tendon and specifically the tendon sheath that surrounds it where it bends around the back of the ankle. One of the treatment options is to inject it with corticosteroids.  So, this runner called me and wanted to know whether or not it would be a good idea for her to inject the tendon sheath with cortisone before her trail race.  If my FHL tendon is inflamed and irritated, should I inject the tendon sheath before my 100-mile trail race?  Well, that is a great question and that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast. 

Send us a textIn this episode of Inflamed in the Brain, host and registered dietitian Krissy dives into a topic that's often misunderstood—carbohydrates. For all the self-proclaimed carb lovers out there, this episode is a must-listen. Krissy debunks the myth that carbs are "bad" and shares science-backed reasons why carbs are, in fact, essential for managing inflammation and supporting overall health.Carbs have long been criticized, dating back to the low-carb diet trends of the 90s with Atkins and continuing with modern trends like keto and paleo. These diets have promoted the idea that carbs lead to weight gain and poor health. However, Krissy sets the record straight by explaining that not all carbs are created equal. From curbing cravings to promoting restful sleep, nourishing gut bacteria, delivering antioxidants, and boosting energy, carbs offer many benefits that contribute to a balanced, anti-inflammatory lifestyle.Key Points Covered in This Episode1. Carbs Help Curb CravingsKrissy explains how complex carbs, like whole grains, fruits, and legumes, provide long-lasting energy and help curb cravings. Unlike simple carbs that cause blood sugar spikes and crashes, complex carbs break down slowly, stabilizing blood sugar and reducing cravings for sweets. She emphasizes that cutting out carbs entirely often backfires, leading to intense cravings that can increase inflammation. Consuming carbs in a balanced way keeps cravings at bay, supporting anti-inflammatory habits over the long term.2. Carbs Fuel Your Gut BacteriaCarb-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are packed with fiber, which feeds beneficial gut bacteria. When these bacteria digest fiber, they produce anti-inflammatory short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that support gut health and immune function. Examples of fiber-rich, anti-inflammatory foods Krissy mentions include apples, oats, chickpeas, and brown rice. Nourishing gut bacteria in this way can significantly impact inflammation, especially in chronic conditions.3. Carbs Provide Energy for Physical ActivityKrissy discusses how carbs serve as the body's preferred energy source, breaking down into glucose and storing as glycogen in the muscles. This reserve of energy is crucial for staying active, which in turn reduces inflammation markers in the body. She highlights how regular movement—even gentle exercise—has an anti-inflammatory effect by releasing anti-inflammatory proteins and improving circulation.4. Carbs Deliver Antioxidants to Fight Oxidative StressMany carb-rich foods, particularly fruits and vegetables, are high in antioxidants, which combat oxidative stress—a contributor to chronic inflammation. Krissy shares examples like berries, sweet potatoes, and leafy greens, which not only provide carbs for energy but also protect cells from damage with powerful antioxidants. By incorporating these antioxidant-rich foods, listeners can actively lower their inflammation levels.5. Carbs Support Sleep QualityKrissy uncovers a lesser-known benefit of carbs: they can support restful sleep, which is essential for lowering inflammation. Complex carbs increase the availability of tryptophan, a precursor to the sleep-supporting hormones serotonin and melatonin.

Send us a textEpisode Summary: In this episode of Inflamed in the Brain, Krissy, your friendly neighborhood dietitian, dives into the topic of snacking—particularly how to build balanced, anti-inflammatory snacks. Krissy breaks down common misconceptions about snacking, explains why snacking isn't inherently bad, and provides actionable tips on building satisfying and inflammation-fighting snacks. She covers why pairing carbs with fats and proteins is crucial for blood sugar control and sustained energy, and discusses the role of intuitive eating in choosing the right snack size based on your hunger cues.Key Topics Covered:Debunking Snacking Myths:Myth #1: Snacking is bad for you.Myth #2: A snack should always be something small, like fruit or yogurt. Krissy explains why it's okay to have snacks like chicken wings or eggs and highlights the importance of pairing carbs with fats and proteins for balance.Building a Balanced Snack:Why a balanced snack matters for inflammation:High blood sugar can lead to inflammation by triggering oxidative stress and impairing your body's use of antioxidants.Krissy discusses how combining carbs, proteins, and fats stabilizes blood sugar levels, preventing spikes that can contribute to inflammation.Examples of balanced snacks: avocado toast, yogurt with berries and chia seeds, and hard-boiled eggs paired with fruit.Snacking for Blood Sugar Control:Consuming carb-heavy snacks alone can cause blood sugar spikes, leading to fatigue and cravings. Pairing carbs with fats and proteins offers more stable energy, helping you avoid the blood sugar rollercoaster that promotes inflammation.Listening to Your Body's Hunger Cues:Krissy emphasizes intuitive eating, explaining that the size of your snack should depend on how hungry you feel, your activity level, and how far away you are from your next meal.Practical tip: Before snacking, ask yourself if you're lightly hungry or really hungry. This helps guide you toward choosing an appropriately sized snack without obsessing over portion sizes.Addressing Emotional Eating:Krissy discusses the importance of identifying emotional triggers—such as stress or boredom—that may cause you to snack unnecessarily. She shares strategies for coping with emotions without turning to food, like taking a walk or journaling.Key Takeaways:Snacking isn't inherently bad, and you shouldn't feel guilty for grabbing a snack.A balanced snack consisting of carbs, fats, proteins, and fiber helps stabilize blood sugar and fight inflammation.Listen to your body's hunger cues to determine the size of your snack, and avoid emotional snacking by finding other outlets for stress and emotions.Mentioned in This Episode:Example balanced snacks: avocado toast, yogurt with berries, hard-boiled eggs with fruit.Practical tip for mindful snacking: "Am I lightly hungry or really hungry?"Hungry for More?!

Send us a textIntroduction of the Episode: Welcome to another insightful episode of the Inflamed in the Brain podcast! In this SNACK episode, host and registered dietitian Krissy dives into the world of protein bars, revealing how to select options that support your health goals without causing unnecessary harm. With so many protein bars on the market, it's crucial to understand which ones can serve as a healthy snack and which ones can be just as detrimental as a candy bar. Krissy breaks down key ingredients to avoid and highlights the best choices for maintaining a balanced, anti-inflammatory diet.Key Points Covered:Why Choosing the Right Protein Bar Matters:Protein bars can either be a healthy snack or a sugary treat in disguise. Understanding their ingredient composition is essential for those looking to manage inflammation and maintain stable energy levels throughout the day.Ingredients to Watch Out For:Added Sugars: Avoid hidden sugars like high fructose corn syrup, glucose syrup, and sugar alcohols (e.g., maltitol, sorbitol) that can spike blood sugar levels and contribute to inflammation. Krissy advises listeners to pay close attention to how high these ingredients appear on the list—those that are listed near the top are present in larger quantities.Artificial Sweeteners: Sweeteners like sucralose, aspartame, and saccharin may reduce calories but can negatively affect gut health and lead to increased sugar cravings.Hydrogenated Oils: Trans fats found in hydrogenated oils or palm oil are inflammatory. It's crucial to avoid protein bars containing partially hydrogenated oils or vague "vegetable oil blends."Preservatives: Chemical preservatives such as BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene) and TBHQ (Tertiary Butylhydroquinone) extend shelf life but can be inflammatory.Artificial Flavors and Colors: These can trigger sensitivities and contribute to inflammation. Opt for bars with natural flavors and simple ingredient lists.Low-Quality Protein Sources: Bars with soy protein isolate or wheat protein may not provide optimal benefits for muscle repair and could provoke sensitivities in some individuals.Ingredients to Look For:High-Quality Protein: Choose bars containing protein from whole-food sources like grass-fed whey, egg whites, or pea protein for better digestion and lower inflammation risk.Healthy Fats: Look for bars that include natural fats such as nuts, seeds, or coconut oil for lasting energy and fullness.Natural Sweeteners: Favor bars sweetened with dates, honey, maple syrup, or stevia for a healthier sweetness that won't cause drastic blood sugar spikes.Fiber: A quality protein bar should contain fiber from sources like chia seeds, flax seeds, or oats, aiding digestion and blood sugar stability.Minimal Ingredients: Aim for bars with a short list of recognizable ingredients (nuts, seeds, whole grains), as they are often better for reducing inflammation.Outro:Now that you know what to look for in protein bars, you're equipped to make healthier choices the next time you shop. Read through the ingredient lists, experiment with different bars, and discover what works best for you. Once you find a brand you love, you're on your way to fueling your body right!Hungry for More?!

With her personal insights and expertise as a registered dietitian, Krissy aims to help you break free from these mindset barriers, paving the way for a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle.Key Takeaways:Belief 1: The All-or-Nothing MindsetDefinition: The tendency to think that unless you're 100% perfect in your anti-inflammatory routine, it's not worth trying at all.Impact: This mindset leads to burnout, frustration, and a cycle of starting over. It creates an unsustainable approach to health.Alternative: Focus on small, consistent changes rather than perfection. View your health as dynamic and flexible, allowing for setbacks without derailing your progress.Belief 2: PerfectionismDefinition: The pressure to execute every aspect of your health journey flawlessly.Impact: Perfectionism fosters unrealistic expectations, leading to guilt, shame, and increased stress, which can exacerbate inflammation.Alternative: Prioritize progress over perfection. Embrace the inevitability of imperfections, and set flexible, personalized goals that adapt to life's unpredictability.Belief 3: Quick Fix MentalityDefinition: The obsession with finding immediate solutions or “magic pills” that promise overnight results.Impact: Quick fixes neglect the importance of sustainable habits and often result in temporary outcomes that fail to address underlying issues.Alternative: Embrace the journey of making incremental lifestyle changes that align with your health goals. Understand that meaningful change takes time and consistent effort.Episode Highlights:Krissy shares her personal struggles with these toxic beliefs and how they impacted her anti-inflammatory journey.Insightful tips on how to cultivate a mindset that encourages long-term health improvements and resilience.Encouragement to practice self-compassion as you navigate your path to better health.Conclusion:In this episode, Krissy emphasizes that overcoming these toxic beliefs is not an overnight process. It requires patience, self-compassion, and a willingness to recognize and adjust negative thought patterns.

There book tells the harrowing story of how elderly were left to die in October 2017 wine country fires and thus also happened during hurricanes in Florida. I tell you about a horrific coverup and retaliation by rich people to protect their political agendas so they can keep cutting corners and getting rich while our elderly parents and grand parents suffer. It takes a lot for me to get activated But when I finally learned the truth, I can't help myself and neither will you! Today's show is a little off the beaten path, but given Milton right on point.

Send us a textWelcome back to Inflamed in the Brain podcast with your host, Krissy! This episode is the first in a new mini-segment called SNACKS—where Krissy delivers bite-sized, impactful anti-inflammatory strategies in under 10 minutes. These episodes are perfect for listeners who want quick and actionable tips to lower inflammation and improve their health, all before breakfast!In today's episode, Krissy talks about morning habits that set the stage for a positive day while lowering inflammation. Drawing from her own experiences (and the reality of juggling mom life and work), Krissy provides simple and sustainable morning routines that anyone can start using immediately. And no need to stress—she doesn't expect you to do them all every morning. Tune in to find what fits best with your busy lifestyle!Episode Highlights:Hydration: Drink Like You've Never Drunk BeforeHydration is key to jump-starting your morning. Krissy introduces the concept of “force hydration” and shares how drinking water first thing helps prevent dehydration and flush out toxins, both of which contribute to inflammation. Add some anti-inflammatory ingredients like lemon, apple cider vinegar, ginger, or pink salt for a boost!Gentle Movement: Yoga and StretchingMorning movement doesn't need to be intense. Krissy explains how simple stretches or yoga can help reduce tension and stress, contributing to lower inflammation. Movement in the morning can also make you feel more relaxed and centered.Meditation: Chill the Eff OutSpending just 5 minutes in quiet reflection or meditation helps reduce stress—a known cause of inflammation. Krissy shares her personal meditation routine and explains how focusing on your breath can calm your mind and prep you for the day ahead.Journaling: Get It All OutStress management through journaling is a new but effective tool in Krissy's routine. She talks about how writing down her thoughts helps reduce stress, clearing mental clutter that can hinder productivity and, in turn, increase inflammation.Sunlight and Fresh Air: Get OutsideGetting sunlight in the morning isn't just good for boosting your mood; it helps regulate your circadian rhythm, leading to better sleep and less inflammation. Even a few minutes outside can increase Vitamin D, which is crucial for those with autoimmune conditions like MS.Krissy wraps up by reminding listeners that while these habits are great, they don't all have to be done daily. Even incorporating just one or two into your morning can help improve your inflammation levels and overall health.Hungry for More?

Send us a textShow Notes:In this eye-opening episode of Inflamed in the Brain, host Krissy tackles a topic that resonates with many—how to know if your inflammation is improving without relying on lab tests or weight loss. As a registered dietitian who has personal experience managing inflammation from MS, Krissy dives into practical ways to recognize progress beyond the numbers.Introduction to the Episode:Krissy kicks off by acknowledging the overwhelming pressure to lose weight or rely on expensive lab work to gauge inflammation. She highlights that weight isn't the root cause of inflammation and debunks the idea that weight loss alone will make it disappear. By addressing visceral fat and inflammation, Krissy shows the complexity of the body's relationship with fat, emphasizing that not all fat is harmful and that inflammation impacts everyone differently.Weight and Inflammation:Krissy offers listeners a compassionate reminder that hyper-focusing on visceral fat can increase stress—and stress, as she explains, is another inflammatory trigger. She shares insights into body acceptance, the nuanced role of fat in inflammation, and why focusing on bigger-picture lifestyle changes is more effective than obsessing over weight loss.She warns against extreme diets and low-calorie eating patterns that leave you feeling hungry and deprived, noting that these approaches can worsen inflammation by increasing stress hormones and dysregulating hunger cues.Why Lab Work Isn't Always the Answer:Although there are lab tests like CRP, ESR, and organic acid tests to measure inflammation, Krissy reminds listeners that these are expensive, not always accessible, and don't paint the full picture. Lab numbers can fluctuate due to various factors, including genetics and lifestyle. She even shares her personal story of navigating lab results during her first MS flare-up—highlighting that, despite normal CRP levels, she still experienced symptoms.Krissy's focus today is on empowering her audience to tune into their body's own cues, offering ways to recognize improvement that aren't dependent on weight or labs.Main Points Covered in the Episode:Improved Symptoms: Krissy emphasizes that improvement in the symptoms that first led you to the doctor is a clear indicator that your inflammation is improving. Whether it's chronic fatigue, joint pain, or digestive issues, reduced severity or frequency of these symptoms is a key sign that your efforts are paying off. Krissy shares her experience with MS symptoms, reminding listeners to reflect on their progress, even if it's gradual.Boosted Energy Levels: Chronic inflammation often causes fatigue. When your energy starts improving, it's a sure sign that your inflammation is decreasing. Krissy explains how a reduction in chronic inflammation allows the body to redirect energy away from fighting inflammation and towards daily tasks, leading to fewer naps, better motivation, and more consistency in life.Better Digestion: Improved digestion—fewer instances of bloating, constipation, and diarrhea—is a huge sign that inflammation in the gut is decreasing. Krissy talks about the connection between gut health, dysbiosis, and systemic inflammation, explaining how inflammation in the gut can lead to a wide range of issues. As your gut heals, these digestive issues often resolve, showing your body is healing from the inside out.Reduced Joint Pain and Stiffness: Joint pain isn't just an issue for the elderly.

The plantar plate ligament that gets injured in runners is typically located on the bottom of the foot, at the base of the second toe.  It gets inflamed, it gets irritated, it may feel weird at first. The plantar plate may not even feel sprained, or sore, or injured. It might just feel like this weird sort of fullness sensation. I got a question from a runner who had those same strange symptoms. He was trying to figure out what treatment would best address the "fullness" sensation in and around the plantar plate. Which is better for an inflamed plantar plate in a runner who wants to run? Icing, cryotherapy, NSAIDs, which one is going to help the most?  Well, great question and that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.   

Send us a textIn this episode of the Inflamed in the Brain podcast, host and dietitian Krissy dives deep into a topic that so many struggle with: cravings. She explores why cravings are often misunderstood, why restricting the types and amounts of food you eat can backfire, and how this cycle of restriction can lead to overeating and increased inflammation. Krissy shares actionable strategies to break free from the craving-restriction cycle and achieve lasting balance.Introduction:Krissy welcomes listeners back to another episode of Inflamed in the Brain, where today's focus is on cravings—a common challenge that many associate with a lack of willpower or discipline. She explains how cravings are often wrongly viewed as a personal failure when, in reality, they are a normal biological response to restriction. Many people blame their cravings for diet failures, often feeling ashamed and cycling back to restrictive eating plans without considering what's truly driving those cravings.Krissy describes cravings as more than just casual food thoughts; they can be intense and all-consuming, like an unshakable desire for an ooey-gooey chocolate chip cookie that preoccupies your mind. She discusses how ignoring these cravings and substituting them with so-called “healthier” options often leads to frustration and overeating, fueling guilt and inflammation.Main Points Covered in This Episode:Why Restricting How Much You Eat Triggers CravingsKrissy breaks down how restrictive eating—whether it's cutting calories, skipping meals, or overly controlling portion sizes—actually sets the stage for cravings. She highlights the harmful impact of diet culture, which encourages food restriction as a measure of worth, discipline, or health. However, when you consistently eat less than your body needs, your biological defense mechanisms kick in, intensifying cravings as your body tries to compensate for perceived scarcity.She explains that this survival response is designed to protect you, pushing you to eat more when food seems scarce—even if the restriction is self-imposed. This not only undermines your goals but also sets you up for the “fuck it” moments when you end up overeating, triggering inflammatory responses that can derail your progress.The Science Behind Cravings and How Restriction Affects Your Mind and BodyKrissy dives into the science of cravings, explaining that calorie restriction affects not just your body but also your mind. When you consistently tell yourself “no” to foods you crave, your brain fixates on what you can't have, leading to obsessive thoughts, increased anxiety, and ultimately overeating. She discusses how this heightened focus on food creates a vicious cycle where restriction amplifies cravings rather than controlling them.Fix #1: Build Your Interoceptive AwarenessTo counter the effects of restrictive eating, Krissy introduces the concept of interoceptive awareness—the ability to tune into your body's internal signals like hunger and fullness. Instead of relying on external rules like calorie counting or portion control, she encourages listeners to connect with their body's cues. She provides tips on how to develop this skill, such as slowing down during meals, eating without distractions, and checking in with your hunger and fullness levels.By building interoceptive awareness, you're more likely to eat when you're genuinely hungry and stop when you're satisfied, reducing the risk of overeating and avoiding the craving-restriction cycle.Why Restricting the Kinds of Food You Eat Triggers CravingsKrissy explains how lFollow along: https://betterwithcarbo.com/ Instagram

Send us a textIn this episode of The Inflamed in the Brain Podcast, host Krissy, a registered dietitian, dives deep into the connection between gut health and allergy relief. As the fall season approaches, many people experience an uptick in seasonal allergies, but the solution to these bothersome symptoms might be hiding in the gut. Krissy breaks down how specific foods can help heal and protect the gut, ultimately reducing allergy symptoms.Key Points Covered in This Episode:The Gut-Immune System ConnectionKrissy starts the episode by explaining the critical role the gut plays in immune function. With 70-80% of the immune system residing in the gut, its health directly impacts the body's ability to manage allergies. When the gut lining is compromised, or "leaky," allergens can pass into the bloodstream, triggering immune responses that lead to both seasonal and food allergies. The episode discusses how maintaining gut integrity is essential for reducing inflammation and allergic reactions.Fermented Foods for Allergy ReliefFermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, and kefir are rich in probiotics that help balance the gut microbiome. Krissy explains how these beneficial bacteria strengthen the gut lining, prevent "leaky gut," and modulate immune responses, reducing the risk of allergic reactions. Fermented foods also help train the immune system to respond more appropriately to harmless substances, lowering the likelihood of developing allergies.Bone Broth as a Gut-Healing AllyBone broth, rich in collagen and amino acids like glutamine, plays a vital role in repairing the gut lining and reducing gut permeability. Krissy discusses how these nutrients help strengthen the gut barrier, making it harder for allergens to cross into the bloodstream and trigger an immune response. She also covers the anti-inflammatory properties of bone broth, which can help calm an overactive immune system.The Anti-Inflammatory Power of TurmericTurmeric, a spice known for its active compound curcumin, is highlighted for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Krissy explains how curcumin reduces inflammation in the gut, supports the healing of the gut lining, and prevents allergens from crossing the barrier into the bloodstream. Additionally, turmeric supports overall immune health, making the body less susceptible to allergic reactions.Quercetin-Rich Foods to Manage AllergiesQuercetin, found in foods like apples, berries, onions, and leafy greens, is discussed as a natural antihistamine and anti-inflammatory compound. Krissy talks about how quercetin stabilizes mast cells—immune cells that release histamine during allergic reactions—thereby reducing the severity of symptoms. Quercetin also supports gut health by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria, further strengthening the gut barrier.Why Gut Health is Key to Allergy ReliefThe episode concludes with a discussion on why supporting gut health is imperative for managing allergies. Krissy emphasizes that improving gut health can help regulate the immune system and reduce the severity of both seasonal and food allergies. By incorporating these gut-friendly foods into a daily diet, listeners can not only soothe allergy symptoms but also support long-term immune health.Hungry for More?!

I hope you're doing well and had a fantastic summer. After taking a mental health break to spend quality time with my family, I'm excited to be back. For now, we'll be releasing episodes every other week, but rest assured, I'm here to provide you with valuable content to support your anti-inflammatory journey. Make sure you're subscribed to my email list for tips, anti-inflammatory food recommendations, and recipes! Head over to betterwithcarbo.com/email to subscribe or click the link in the show notes.Main Points Covered:1. What Does Unconditional Permission to Eat Mean?Unconditional permission to eat means allowing yourself to enjoy the foods you truly crave without guilt. If you want a cookie, eat the cookie! It's about letting go of the concept of good and bad foods and eating without self-punishment. This approach can help you develop a healthier relationship with food and prevent the cycle of overeating and restriction.2. How Does Unconditional Permission to Eat Lower Inflammation for Good?Restricting foods can increase their allure and lead to overeating when given the chance. By allowing yourself to enjoy these foods in moderation, you can reduce the power they hold over you and avoid binge eating. For example, if you crave pizza, having it occasionally without guilt can prevent you from overindulging later. This strategy can help you manage inflammation more effectively by reducing the frequency of inflammatory food binges.3. How to Implement Unconditional Permission to Eat:Start by introducing the foods you've been restricting into your home. Allow yourself to eat these foods without any penance afterward. Over time, this reduces the urgency and intensity of your cravings, making it easier to enjoy these foods in moderation. Remember, the goal is to eat mindfully and enjoy your food without feeling controlled by it.4. Addressing Fears of Unconditional Permission:Some people worry that allowing themselves to eat restricted foods will lead to overconsumption. However, research shows that repeated exposure to the same food can reduce its appeal over time. This process, known as habituation, helps you become less interested in the food and decreases the likelihood of overeating.5. Balancing Anti-Inflammatory Substitutes:While giving yourself permission to eat what you crave, there's no harm in experimenting with anti-inflammatory substitutes. If you love pizza but need to limit it for health reasons, find healthier alternatives or enjoy a slice of your favorite pizza when you truly want it. This balanced approach helps prevent feelings of deprivation and supports long-term success in managing inflammation.I hope you found this episode insightful!

Whether it's an aggressive interaction at pickleball or a misunderstanding at work, our biggest lessons often come from not-so-pretty moments…if we choose to shift and learn.   When we feel attacked by other people, it might feel justified to have a knee-jerk reaction and kick back, but we can accomplish a lot more by making another choice.   It might be easier said than done, but we have to work our way back to ourselves and towards something more loving. It's okay to have a messy moment, but you can still recover your presence and create a new commitment.   If we can expand our repertoire of responses, we can move through these moments with more grace and kindness towards ourselves and others. How did a pickleball kerfuffle turn into an interesting moment of introspection and growth?   Instead of using conflict to prove that we're right, how do we turn it into a profound learning opportunity? In this episode, we talk about a different way to deal with a moment of conflict and how to practice responding instead of reacting.   It's a courageous act to not have a knee jerk reaction. Emotional reaction doesn't have to be a reflex. You can make another choice. -Sophie Chiche   Four Things You'll Learn In This Episode   -Reverse the fight or flight When conflict comes up, we're likely to flee from ourselves and end up in fight or flight mode. How do we drop into our bodies and find ourselves again?   -Don't turn it into minus 10 moment When we experience a moment of conflict, we can either shut down connection altogether or we can recommit. How do we avoid doing more damage by shutting down the whole game?   -How to honor yourself in challenging moments Sometimes what makes an interpersonal misunderstanding worse is the inner stories and emotional scars we all have. How do we make ourselves so we understand each other better?   -Turn it inward Instead of using conflict to prove that we're right, how do we turn it into a profound learning opportunity?

Inflammatory diseases are on the rise around the world, and when left unaddressed can turn chronic. Now, doctors are finally starting to pay more attention. But why & when does a beneficial part of our immune system turn against us? Raj Patel & Rupa Marya think it has a lot to do with the world we live in. They talk about climate change, ecological devastation, & the collapse of our planet & what that has to do with inflammation. Their thesis: our bodies are a mirror of a deeper disease in society & the environment. But there's still hope. They point a way back to health via Deep Medicine, which is the quest to reignite our commitment to the web of life and our place in it.  Learn more about the story and find the transcript on radioproject.org.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Lindsey: hi dr. cabral - i have had what seems to be kidney pain for years. i only get relief when my spouse does really deep tissue massages on my lower back. after, my stomach makes gurgling noises and it ends up being gas. ive gone 1 time to a gastro for this and they said it's not my kidneys but inflamed intestines appearing as kidney pain. can you please point me in the right way ?   Katherine: Hi Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all u do! You are my "benchmark" in the health world. Wondering what you would recommend a member of your family if this happened to them. Summer 2022 I had a really bad kidney stone that landed me in the hospital. I passed it. Since then I had about 4 more instances of kidney stones (but not as severe-was able to take some meds to ease the pain until it passed). Recently I went for a CT Scan and it showed my left Ureter dilated. The Urologist suggested another CT scan with dye or a to putna camera in and see if something is there causing a blockage or a tumor. Curious what I can do to be more proactive.   Tina: Love your show :) what is the best alternative to a mammogram? Thermal imaging anything you can recommend please I do not want to go for a mammogram. I've read other women with mast cell activation having breast cancer. Also, really trying hard to get rid of mast cell activation. Is cancer is a sign of mast cell activation ? Alma powder will it help mast cell activation? Alma powder better then berberine? Been researching alternatives to semaglutitde with myself having insulin resistance type 1 diabetes I am full plant based no fat no sugar no salt Please need help   Olivea: Dr. Cabral, The information you provide is wonderful. I just listened to your podcast 'why not fast until lunch' I have never been a huge proponent of fasting for myself simply because of my schedule. Curious what you would recommend for my schedule in regards to fasting and overall health - I try to eat dinner around 6:30/7pm each night. I wake up at 4:45 for the gym - I typically eat an apple on my way to the gym (I go to CrossFit) - my workout is an hour (starting at 5:15am) and then I have 1 egg + some egg whites around 7am, I then make myself a smoothie with water, fruit, and almond milk and take it to work with me and it usually takes me a few hours to drink it. I guess more of what I am asking is - someone who has morning workouts - what do you recommend for fasting?   Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3039 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

A couple of months ago, I discussed black seed oil benefits on the podcast and was taken aback by the response I received! So many listeners were eager to learn more about black cumin oil and whether it would be a good fit to help support their chronic skin condition.If you're dealing with rashed, itchy skin or even hair shedding, black cumin seed oil might just be the skincare ingredient to provide some relief.Black seed oil has a long history of efficacy across various different cultures. Its active component, thymoquinone, has antimocrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal and antiparasitic properties! It is also loaded with essential fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins that promote better skin health.Black cumin seed oil is also typically well-tolerated, even amongst those with sensitive skin!Which is one of the main reasons we put it into all our DermaQuell skin creams.Since I got so many questions after I posted the first episode on this topic, I decided to bring in my friend and natural skincare expert Rachael Pontillo to discuss the star component of black seed oil (thymoquinone), how to use this oil safely, what to look for when choosing products, possible antimicrobial effects of black cumin seed oil, and much more!In This Episode:Black seed oil benefits (and its active constituent thymoquinone)Who should NOT use black cumin oil?Medication interactions with black cumin seed oilDON'T apply black seed oil in these areasBlack cumin seed oil + hair lossHow long before you see results with black seed oil?Benefits of black cumin seed oil for your skin if you have vitiligoHow to choose the best black cumin seed oil for skinDiluting black seed oil (so it doesn't massively irritate your skin)Why we added black seed oil to DermaQuell skin creamsQuotes“In general, there is very low toxicity risk with this ingredient [black cumin seed oil], both when taken internally as directed and when applied topically. And it's just beneficial for a lot of different conditions, and it's a very low risk of allergy in general.”“It's pretty cool that thymoquinone has an antihistamine effect, which can help with the swelling and help calm reaction-prone skin too…If you were to look up studies, it has always been considered a good candidate for something to help with these common topical skin issues such as minor irritations, rashes, dermatitis, acne, psoriasis, even certain things that have a bacterial or a fungal component because the black cumin seed oil does have antimicrobial properties.”LinksDermaQuell Daily Butter – https://www.quellshop.com/products/daily-butterDermaQuell Nourish Butter – https://www.quellshop.com/products/nourish-butterDermaQuell Z+ Rebuilder – https://www.quellshop.com/products/z-rebuilderSave 15% on the Ultimate Quell kit which includes all 3 skin creams (2oz jars)OR get the Quell skincare sample pack which includes all three creams for just $12.95 PLUS free shipping and a $12.95 store credit (especially if you are nervous about purchasing a full product without trying it first)!

On November 6, 1860, Abraham Lincoln became the fluky victor in a tight race for president. The country was bitterly at odds; Southern radicals were moving ever closer to dividing the Union, with one state after another seceding and Lincoln powerless to stop them. Slavery fueled the conflict, but somehow the passions of North and South came to focus on a lonely federal fortress in Charleston Harbor: Fort Sumter.In today's episode I'm speaking to Erik Larson, author of “The Demon of Unrest: A Saga of Hubris, Heartbreak, and Heroism at the Dawn of the Civil War. “ We analyze the chaotic months between Lincoln's election and the Confederacy's shelling of Sumter—a period marked by tragic errors and miscommunications, enflamed egos and craven ambitions, personal tragedies and betrayals. Lincoln himself wrote that the trials of these five months were “so great that, could I have anticipated them, I would not have believed it possible to survive them.”At the heart of this narrative are Major Robert Anderson, Sumter's commander and a former slave owner sympathetic to the South but loyal to the Union; Edmund Ruffin, a vain and bloodthirsty radical who stirs secessionist ardor at every opportunity; and Mary Boykin Chesnut, wife of a prominent planter, conflicted over both marriage and slavery and seeing parallels between both. In the middle of it all is the overwhelmed Lincoln, battling with his duplicitous Secretary of State, William Seward, as he tries desperately to avert a war that he fears is inevitable—one that will eventually kill 750,000 Americans.Drawing on diaries, secret communiques, slave ledgers, and plantation records, Larson gives us a political horror story that captures the forces that led America to the brink—a dark reminder that we often don't see a cataclysm coming until it's too late.

Why are we witnessing such unprecedented rates of mental illness? The answer lies not only in our modern-day, high-paced, stressful environment but at the end of our forks. In this episode of my Health Bites series, I discuss why our brains are so broken, the root causes driving neuroinflammation, and how this drives disconnection between our prefrontal cortex (the adult in the room) and amygdala (our reactive, child-like brain), causing our anxiety and emotions to take over. We'll also discuss the research clearly showing how our toxic SAD is a key driver of our mental health crisis and how you can eat (and supplement) your way out of many mental health issues.
