"The disease is the oxidation. Oxidative stress isn't what leads to disease — it is the disease." —Dr. Thomas LevyIn this episode of the Real Health Podcast, Ron Hunninghake, MD, sits down with Thomas Levy, MD, JD, cardiologist, attorney, and internationally known author, to explore his provocative thesis: that all disease stems from a single root cause — excess oxidation inside the cell. Drawing from decades of clinical experience and research, Dr. Levy explains how toxins, infections, and heavy metals deplete antioxidants like vitamin C and drive inflammation, and why restoring redox balance is key to healing.

Send us a textThere is a massive blind spot in perinatal mental health: the failure to investigate root causes. This episode is a fierce wake-up call. Postpartum professionals, stop watching new moms get a PPD/PPA label when their body is screaming for help. That crippling fatigue, brain fog, and anxiety is often a symptom of profound physiological imbalance, not just a psychiatric one. We're exposing the epidemic of undiagnosed medical conditions—like Hashimoto's, severe iron deficiency, and B12 depletion—that mimic PPD. If you want lasting solutions and to quit playing symptom whack-a-mole, you must learn to spot the "Anxious Mother" and "Depleted Mom" patterns and confidently demand the life-saving comprehensive labs that reveal the truth.Check out the episode on the blog HERE: https://postpartumu.com/podcast/when-its-not-depression-misdiagnosed-mental-health-in-postpartum-ep-236/Key time stamps: 0:00The Crisis in Postpartum Care 1:10 Sarah's Story: Misdiagnosed and Depleted3:37 Labs No One Ordered6:58 Maranda's Postpartum Wake-Up Call11:42 Stats That Should Make You Angry15:02 Symptom Whack-a-Mole in Clinics17:49 Screening Limits and Missed Needs21: 16 Pattern One: The Anxious Mother24:32 Pattern Two: The Depleted Mom27:12 Thyroid Truths Postpartum31:09 Inflammation as a Driver33:35 A New Model: Root-Cause Training37:12 The Cost of Misdiagnosis40:22 What Moms and Providers Can Do NEXT STEPS:

Trauma is not a single moment. It is an ongoing dialogue between your brain, body, and environment. In this conversation, Dr. Mbemba Jabbi explains how neuroplasticity and affective neuroscience help us understand protective patterns like hypervigilance, shutdown, and dissociation. We explore the roles of the insula, amygdala, and cingulate networks in sensing threat, shaping emotions, and connecting brain states with bodily signals such as heart, gut, and breath. Dr. Jabbi also discusses research that associates early childhood trauma, including sexual trauma, with higher inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein, while emphasizing that biology interacts with environment and change is possible. You will hear how sensory training, co-regulation, psychotherapy, and supportive practices may help repattern responses over time. This is a grounded, science-informed look at why survival strategies make sense in context and how compassionate, skills-based work can support nervous system health. If you or your clients live with complex developmental trauma, this episode offers language, frameworks, and first steps that respect lived experience and prioritize safety.   Timestamps: 0:00 Protective patterning and repeating environments 1:00 Meet Dr. Jabbi and her research lens 7:10 Brain circuits in emotion and stress 13:20 Insula, interoception, and body-brain links 18:00 Survival values and environmental context 26:00 Adaptive suppression vs. underdevelopment 40:00 Inflammation and childhood trauma (C-reactive protein) 49:00 Treatment implications and tracking biomarkers 56:00 Fast and slow fear pathways, behavior outputs 59:50 Key takeaways for practitioners and individuals 1:02:00 Repatterning for joy and post-traumatic growth 1:03:30 Where to practice the tools in the community Key Takeaways: Emotions are functional survival signals that reflect whole-body states. The insula, amygdala, and cingulate form networks that integrate sensory input with bodily responses. Protective outputs like numbness or shutdown are learned adaptations that supported safety. Studies associate early childhood trauma with elevated inflammation markers, while outcomes are shaped by environment and support. Neuroplasticity means skills, relationships, and practice can help repattern responses over time.

Inflammation isn't always the enemy, it's your body's defense system. But when it gets out of control, it can silently drive arthritis, heart disease, gut issues, and even mental health struggles. In this episode, we break down what the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) actually shows, why plant protein and fiber lower inflammation, and how animal protein may raise it.Discover the foods with the strongest anti-inflammatory effects from herbs and spices like turmeric and oregano, to olive oil, nuts, seeds, oily fish, berries, and polyphenol-rich vegetables. Learn why balance is key, and how simple daily habits (movement, stress management, sleep) impact your inflammation levels just as much as diet.We also unpack why the Mediterranean diet remains one of the best-studied anti-inflammatory eating patterns worldwide.Rupy AujlaListen to the full episode⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch the full episode on YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠***This episode is sponsored by: NOWATCH: Health tracking reimaginedKnow your body, trust yourself.15% off with code LWBW15 at nowatch.com***If you enjoyed this episode you might also like:How to Increase Protein in Your Diet and Why It Matters for Longevity & Hormone Health | Dr Rupyhttps://youtu.be/AySFUeR1pw8***Sign up to Sarah's Compassionate Cure newsletter: Science Simplified, Health Humanised.

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…   Anonymous: Hello! My labs showed I have low cortisol, I've been supplementing with adrenal energy for a few months and have tried to incorporate more yoga and nervous system work. I used to weight train heavy and hard and I've cut that back alot. My workouts are still leaving me super inflammed the next day and days after (even from doing just 2 excersizes 3 sets). I dont feel my energy improving at all from these past few months. What should I do? I dont have a whole lot of stress right now but my body has definitely been super stressed in the past which is why I think im at this point. Im dog walking for work and even just slow nice walks out in nature is fatiguing me. Do I have to cut out weights completely while I heal?                                                                                                                                                                 Jenny: Hi Dr. Cabral - I have always enjoyed when you share your experiences with your current and previous dogs, and especially your approach to their food and overall health. We have a black lab mix who is over 12 and as expected, he doesn't move as easily as he used to. Are there any supplements you would give to your dog at this stage in life? I'm particularly thinking of something for joint pain and mobility, lipomas, food recommendations, etc. Thank you so much!        Katherine:  Hi Doc. Thank you for all you do for the world! I had a 28cm stent put in from my bladder to kidney because my ureter has a stricture. I went for a renal scan and my 1 kidney is functioning at 18% with the stent in. Now the specialist is recommending to take it out. I need to take out my stent because it's juat temporary but they are wondering if I wanted to switch out for another stent. I've done many of your lab tests throughout the year and quarterly detoxes. I am 42 years old. Is it possible I could naturally improve the function of it? What would you do? Thanks so much for your input!      Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral, since I live in Denmark, I've been looking for a reverse osmosis system available locally. I found one that seems promising and would appreciate your thoughts. It uses 8-stage filtration with 400 GPD flow, removing microplastics, nanoplastics, heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, aluminum), and chemical pollutants (pesticides, herbicides, PFAS, VOCs, chlorine, fluoride, nitrates, cyanide). It also eliminates microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, parasites, mold, algae, cyanotoxins) via a 0.0001-micron Platinum RO membrane and UV sterilization (99.9% effective). It filters sediments, radionuclides, and TDS. A carbon pre-filter protects the membrane, while a mineral boost reintroduces calcium and magnesium. Hydrogen and pH balancing enhance the water.                  Bettina: Hello Dr. Cabral, it's me again. What are your thoughts on this product? It is made without additives and developed in collaboration with neuroscience experts. Each 100% vegan capsule contains 600 mg Curcumin C3 Complex® (standardized to 95% curcuminoids) for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support, 50 mg ginger extract (standardized to 20% gingerols) for digestive and immune benefits, 40 mg saffron extract from Spain (standardized to 3% safranal, 7.5% crocins, and 30% polyphenols) to support mood and emotional balance, and 10 mg BioPerine® (standardized to 95% piperine) to enhance absorption and bioavailability. All raw materials are tested before production by top laboratories such as Eurofins to ensure purity and quality.

In this expert interview, I sit down with Dr. Kevin Tracey—pioneer of the “inflammatory reflex” and a leading voice on neuroimmune science—to unpack how your nervous system can dial inflammation up or down. We explore what's really driving inflammatory arthritis, why the vagus nerve is a key switch for immune balance, and how neuromodulation (yes, stimulating nerves!) is opening new, drug-sparing frontiers for pain and flare control. You'll learn the difference between protective vs. destructive inflammation, practical ways to support vagal tone, and what the latest research means for people living with autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. If you've wondered how the brain, immune system, and joints talk to each other, this conversation connects the dots—and offers hope. Kevin J. Tracey, MD, is president and CEO of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research at Northwell Health, a pioneer of vagus nerve research and author of The Great Nerve. A leader in the scientific fields of inflammation and neuroscience, his lab studies vagus nerve stimulation and bioelectronic medicine. His contributions include first identifying the therapeutic action of monoclonal anti-TNF antibodies and discovering the specific reflex control of immunity by the nervous system, called the “inflammatory reflex.” These discoveries launched the new scientific field called bioelectronic medicine, which investigates the therapeutic applications of vagus nerve stimulation to cure disease. Dr. Tracey, a neurosurgeon, pursued studies of inflammation after the mysterious death of a toddler from sepsis who was in his care. His lab has since revealed molecular mechanisms of inflammation and identified the use of vagus nerve stimulation to treat it. An inventor on more than 120 U.S. patents and the author of more than 450 scientific publications, he is among the most highly cited scientists in the world. He co-founded the Global Sepsis Alliance, is the author of Fatal Sequence (Dana Press) and is a national and international lecturer.

2025 ACC Scientific Statement on Inflammation & Cardiovascular Disease

GLP-1s are everywhere right now, but most people may not use them in the best way especially with thyroid issues. McCall McPherson joins Inna to explain why standard dosing creates all the side effects you hear about, and how a specific way of microdosing changes everything,  especially for those with thyroid conditions.This conversation goes beyond weight loss. McCall breaks down how to use GLP-1s properly for thyroid bodies so food, muscle, and metabolism stay intact. She shares why slower loss is actually healthier, how to know if your doctor's approach is too aggressive and the overlooked benefits these medications can bring when done right.One of the biggest? Inflammation. They discuss how proper use can calm inflammation in ways food alone sometimes can't, and what happens to markers and symptoms when it does. They also dive into low dose naltrexone, when to pair it with GLP-1s, and how it supports autoimmunity without shutting down the immune system.For full show notes, please see: https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/glp-1s-microdosing-thyroid-inflammation-hashimotos-mccall-mcpherson/Get ThyroLove - the first all in one bottle multi-nutrient comprehensive formula designed specifically for those with Thyroid Autoimmunity at ThyroLove.com - use code “Podcast” to get 10% off and free shipping For more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you need help with fatigue or brain fog with Hashimoto's, please check out Inna's 9 Day Exhaustion Solution at innatopiler.com/energyIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at InnaTopiler.com/zoomcall

 In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks to Mike who emphasized the importance of accurate pain assessment and the potential impact of psychological factors like placebo effect. Tony's injury from swimming surprisingly reduced his chronic pain, suggesting a link between acute and chronic pain management. Mike suggested alternative pain-inducing activities to potentially aid healing. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/mike-sententia2         Highlights from today's episode include: Mike and the importance of honest feedback from clients—encouraging them to report truthfully even when a technique doesn't work, as this helps practitioners refine and improve their healing methods. Mike explains the shift from using the term “suppress” to “neutralize” or “cancel out” energy signatures, to better describe his pain reduction technique and avoid negative connotations. Manon explains the need for thorough, transparent assessment and follow-up of pain intensity and frequency, so practitioners and clients have accurate benchmarks to measure healing progress.   ABOUT MIKE SENTENTIA: I'm Mike. After studying and practicing energy healing 20+ years, I've developed a unique system of energy healing, specifically designed for chronic pain conditions. I'm truly so grateful for every client who's placed their faith in me and who I've been able to help get back to doing what they love most over the past two decades. They're the reason I do this work! In addition to being an energy healer for chronic pain, I'm also a science geek and love reading research. My books cover holistic care techniques that actually work, and the evidence behind them. Core purpose/passion: The mission of Healing Lab is to see Energy Healing integrated into mainstream medical practice and to see it covered by insurance in the same way that acupuncture is becoming. We know there is modern science behind energy healing even if we don't fully understand all the mechanisms yet.

Research shows sugary drinks and alcohol intake are strongly linked to faster hair loss, with younger men experiencing baldness patterns that typically appear a decade earlier A systematic review covering over 61,000 participants confirmed low vitamin D and iron levels consistently worsen hair loss, highlighting how nutrient deficiencies directly weaken follicles Sugary drinks spike insulin and fuel inflammation, narrowing scalp blood vessels and starving follicles of oxygen and nutrients, which accelerates thinning and weakens regrowth cycles Men with male pattern baldness consumed nearly twice as many sugary drinks weekly compared to men without hair loss, proving diet is a visible risk factor Cutting sugary beverages, eliminating alcohol, restoring vitamin D through safe sun, and boosting iron intake with nutrient-rich foods are direct steps to protect hair and overall health
