"Since the 80s, we've been brainwashed to believe that eggs are bad for us, butter is bad for us, dairy is bad for us, red meat is bad for us. And it's just not true." If you've been told your cholesterol is "too high"... if you're on a statin drug and wondering if it's actually helping... if you care about preventing heart disease instead of just managing it... this episode is your wake-up call. It's Heart Health Month, and Dr. Terri is cutting through decades of misinformation to reveal what's REALLY driving cardiovascular disease — and it's not cholesterol. From the gut-heart connection to the six hormones that could save your life, this is the heart health conversation your doctor probably isn't having with you. Here's the truth: "The highest gross revenue producing drug in the history of drugs — billions of dollars — and since they've come out in the 80s, cardiovascular disease rates and death from cardiovascular disease have actually gotten worse, not better." WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: → Why heart disease is a disease of INFLAMMATION, not cholesterol → The shocking truth about statin drugs — and why heart disease has gotten WORSE since the 80s → How cholesterol-lowering drugs are literally shrinking your brain (the brain is 70% cholesterol) → The connection between statins, insulin resistance, and Alzheimer's (now called Type 3 Diabetes) → Why "all disease begins in the gut" — Hippocrates said it 2,000 years ago and it's still true → How estradiol reduced cardiovascular disease progression by 50% in women who already had plaque → Why testosterone is powerfully protective for men's hearts (not just for energy and muscle) → The one organ that can't make its own T3 thyroid hormone — your heart → Why your "normal" lab ranges are based on a sick population (and what optimal ACTUALLY looks like) → The phone scrolling habit that's destroying your melatonin AND your heart health → The inverse relationship between cortisol and DHEA that's wrecking your cardiovascular system → The vitamin D level that triggers a 5x cancer risk and 160% increased cardiovascular disease risk → The 6 hormones you need optimized for true heart disease prevention This isn't about managing heart disease with more prescriptions. It's about understanding the root cause — inflammation — and optimizing the hormones your body needs to protect itself. YOUR ACTION STEPS: Get a deep-dive lipid panel (particle size, ApoA, ApoB), check your hormone levels, ask about a coronary artery calcium score, and focus on OPTIMAL — not just "normal." TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Intro: It's Heart Health Month 2:15 - Heart disease is NOT a cholesterol problem 4:20 - The statin drug soapbox: billions in revenue, worse outcomes 6:40 - How statins are connected to Alzheimer's and insulin resistance 7:55 - It all begins in the gut: inflammation and lipid polysaccharides 9:05 - The one statin study — and why it doesn't apply to everyone 10:20 - Estrogen: a powerfully protective anti-inflammatory molecule 11:25 - The study showing 50% reduction in plaque progression with estrogen 14:05 - Testosterone: protective for cardiovascular disease in men 14:45 - Thyroid: the heart can't make its own T3 16:15 - Why "normal" lab ranges are based on sick populations 17:15 - Optimal Free T3 levels and what pediatric data actually shows 17:50 - Melatonin: the hormone you're destroying with your phone 19:10 - DHEA: the cortisol-DHEA inverse relationship 20:25 - Vitamin D: the hormone-like molecule with massive cardiovascular impact 21:20 - Recap: The 6 hormones for heart disease prevention ---- The Dr. Terri Show is presented by EVEXIAS Health Solutions.

Most people think fatigue, brain fog, and low energy are just part of modern life.But what if the real issue isn't stress, age, or even sleep…What if it's mineral depletion?In this episode of the Kwik Brain podcast, I sit down with Caroline Alan, Co-Founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals, she's a health educator and leading voice in plant-based mineral replenishment, to break down what she calls “hidden hunger” — the cellular signal that your body does not have the raw materials it needs to function.We explore why your body can operate like a city in a brownout, why the brain is often the first place mineral deficiency shows up, and how modern soil depletion may be affecting the quality of the food you eat every day.In this episode, you'll learn:☑️ Why minerals are essential for mitochondrial energy production☑️ Why brain fog is often one of the first signs of depletion☑️ How modern farming practices reduce mineral density in food☑️ Why single-mineral supplements can create imbalance☑️ The difference between rock-based minerals and plant-based humic and fulvic substances☑️ How reverse osmosis and filtered water may be stripping essential minerals☑️ How mineral balance affects recovery, inflammation, and cognitive performanceCaroline shares her personal story of autoimmune challenges, adrenal burnout, and chronic inflammation, and how focusing on foundational mineral replenishment helped restore her energy, sleep, and mental clarity.If you feel like something is off but you can't quite explain it…If you struggle with fatigue, poor recovery, or brain fog…Or if you want to optimize your energy at the cellular level…This episode will help you understand why what's under the soil directly impacts what's happening inside you, and what you can do about it.
In this episode, Detective Ev sat down with Dr. Shivani Gupta, a leading voice in holistic health and chronic disease prevention, whose work bridges 5,000 years of Ayurvedic wisdom with modern functional medicine. Dr. Shivani's journey into wellness began with her own battle with chronic illness—an experience that led her to Ayurveda and ultimately transformed her life. Inspired to help others heal, she went on to earn a Master's in Ayurvedic Sciences and a Ph.D. focused on Turmeric, studying under renowned Ayurvedic experts in both India and the United States. At the heart of her work is The Inflammation Solution Program, a practical, integrative approach designed to help people—especially women—address chronic issues such as joint pain, weight gain, autoimmune symptoms, fatigue, and hormone imbalance. By blending traditional Ayurvedic principles with evidence-based functional medicine, Dr. Shivani empowers individuals to understand their bodies and restore balance from the inside out. We also dive into her new Hay House debut book, The Inflammation Code, where she reveals how hidden inflammation drives brain fog, metabolic dysfunction, accelerated aging, and more.

Okay ladies… this episode is for every woman who has looked in the mirror and thought:“What is happening to my body?”The weight that won't budge.The belly fat you've never had before.The exhaustion doesn't match your effort.The cravings, anxiety, bloating, low libido, and inflammation.Doing everything “right” — and nothing works.And then the quiet thought:Is this just aging… or is something actually wrong?Today I wanted a woman on the couch with me because there are things we just don't want to talk about with men. Things only another woman can understand, normalize, and validate.So I brought on Lauren Douglas, Family Nurse Practitioner and longevity-focused women's health provider at NuLevel Wellness. Lauren works with women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who feel tired, inflamed, stuck, dismissed, and disconnected from their bodies — and helps them understand what's happening beneath the surface.This conversation covers perimenopause, menopause, hormones, metabolism, and aging — but it's also about identity, trust, and learning to support your body instead of fighting it.We talk about why women's bodies change after 35, why “healthy” stops working the same way, and why so many women blame themselves for shifts that are not their fault.This is not a quick-fix episode.It's a you're not broken episode.In this episode, we talk about:Why weight gain, belly fat, and insulin resistance show up in midlifeCravings, food noise, and nighttime hungerDeep exhaustion — even when you're eating well and exercisingMuscle loss and protecting strength as you ageGLP-1 medications and peptides — where they fit (and where they don't)Chronic inflammation, joint pain, and “mystery symptoms”Gut issues and bloating during hormone shiftsCortisol, stress weight, and wired-but-tired sleepLibido changes, dryness, and relationship impactHow to know whether you need hormones, peptides, GLP-1s, lifestyle shifts or none of the aboveMost importantly, we talk about agency — advocating for your health, asking better questions, and refusing to accept “this is just how it is.”This season isn't a decline.It's a transition.And transitions deserve education, compassion, and real support.Gentle content note:Hormonal changes, weight gain, sexual health, anxiety, inflammation, and medical dismissal are discussed.After listening:Notice where you've been blaming yourself instead of listening to your body.Ask: What if my body isn't failing — it's asking for something different?Start one conversation you've been avoiding.You're not crazy. You're not broken. You don't have to navigate this alone.Key moments from the episode:00:00 When You Don't Recognize Your Body03:20 Why These Changes Feel Sudden07:05 Early Signs of Perimenopause10:45 Why Weight Won't Budge14:40 Belly Fat & Insulin Resistance23:55 Hormones, BV & the Gut Link28:20 When Healthy Eating Stops Working37:10 GLP-1s for Women Explained45:55 Brain Fog & Hormones50:10 Libido & Dryness58:50 Inflammation & “Mystery” Symptoms1:03:20 Gut Issues & Hormones1:11:05 Choosing the Right Support PathConnect with Heidi:Website: https://heidipowell.net/Email: podcast@heidipowell.netInstagram: @realheidipowellFacebook: Heidi PowellYouTube: @RealHeidiPowellTrain with Heidi on her Show Up App: https://www.showupfit.app/Connect with Lauren Douglas:Website: https://nulevelwellness.com/Instagram: @laurendouglas_fnp (https://www.instagram.com/laurendouglas_fnp/)About Lauren Douglas:Lauren Douglas, FNP-C, is a Family Nurse Practitioner specializing in longevity, hormone, and metabolic health.

After a failed IVF cycle, the pressure to move quickly into the next one can feel overwhelming. Clinics often encourage momentum. Emotionally, it can feel safer to stay in motion than to pause. But rushing into another IVF cycle too quickly can quietly reinforce the same biological conditions that shaped the last outcome. If you've been told to increase stimulation, change protocols, or "just try again," this episode challenges that reflex. Because before another round begins, the more important question is: What actually needs to shift in the biology? In this episode of Get Pregnant Naturally, we explore why recovery windows matter after a failed IVF cycle and how back-to-back stimulation can compound physiological stress, especially in cases of low AMH, embryo arrest, or recurrent implantation failure. In this episode, you'll learn: Why stacking IVF cycles too closely can affect cellular energy and egg development How hormonal rhythm and communication break down when recovery time is skipped The hidden impact of inflammation and immune load between cycles Why more medication does not always mean better coordination inside the system How to recognize when repetition is happening without recalibration IVF is physically and emotionally demanding. Medications, procedures, disrupted sleep, and stress all increase the body's workload. Biology improves during recovery windows, not during nonstop stimulation. Strategic pauses are not delays. They are opportunities for recalibration. I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally. For over a decade, my team and I have reviewed hundreds of low AMH and failed IVF cases using functional testing alongside conventional fertility care. We specialize in helping couples identify the physiological patterns driving poor outcomes so decisions are grounded in interpretation, not guesswork. If you've been moving from cycle to cycle without a clear way to evaluate what's actually been addressed, I created a free resource called the Embryo Audit Checklist. It helps you organize past cycles and labs so you can see what's been looked at and what may not have been considered yet. Access it here.
In this Resilience Unravelled episode, host Russell interviews Brad Ley in Texas about oxygen and exercise with oxygen therapy (EWOT). Ley explains he turned to oxygen therapy about a decade ago after chronic illness and autoimmune conditions, including psoriasis and autoimmune arthritis, when standard drugs carried serious risks and he developed melanoma. He contrasts EWOT with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, noting hard-shell hyperbaric treatments were recommended to him but were too expensive and time-consuming. Ley describes “inflammaging,” where inflamed blood vessels and swollen capillaries restrict oxygen delivery, pushing cells into anaerobic respiration, lowering energy production and increasing inflammation; he says delivering a high dose of oxygen during exercise can reduce inflammation and help reestablish blood flow in capillaries. He addresses concerns about oxygen and oxidative stress, stating oxygen is also important for detoxification and that research does not show increased oxidative stress from EWOT. Ley outlines the origins of EWOT research from Manfred von Ardenne and explains how oxygen therapy relates to inflammation and hypoxia, comparing it to hydrogen-based approaches. He discusses founding 1000 Roads after building his own system as an engineer and then producing units for patients, with a focus on affordable at-home use and a protocol of about 15 minutes of cardio with a mask, three to five times per week. Ley shares a customer anecdote about osteoarthritis improvement and notes response times vary. The conversation also covers red light therapy, which he says targets mitochondria to increase oxygen demand and pairs with EWOT by boosting oxygen supply then uptake, with claimed benefits including healing, cognitive function, reduced inflammation, skin and collagen support, and recovery. Ley notes the company ships from the US and internationally, with tariffs varying by country, and directs listeners to 1000roads.com and the 1000 Roads HQ YouTube channel for weekly videos on EWOT and red light therapy.00:00 Welcome & meet Brad Ley (Texas)01:04 Why more oxygen can reduce inflammation: ‘inflammaging', capillaries & hypoxia02:42 Is oxygen ‘rusting' us?

What if stubborn weight gain, brain fog, poor sleep, and chronic inflammation aren't "just aging"—but signals from your gut that started decades earlier? Today's conversation challenges the myth of inevitable decline and shows how understanding your microbiome can make your chronological age truly just a number. After 40, many people find that diets stop working, digestion becomes unpredictable, hormones feel out of control, and inflammation quietly creeps in. This episode explains why gut healing becomes harder with age, what's actually changing biologically, and how restoring gut resilience can transform metabolism, hormones, and healthy longevity. Today's guest brings a rare blend of microbiome research, systems thinking, and real-world clinical insight to guide us. Martha Carlin is a pioneering citizen scientist and microbiome systems researcher. She is the founder and CEO of The BioCollective, collaborating with institutions including Caltech, the University of Chicago, and University College Cork. Her work focuses on how gut microbes drive inflammation, insulin resistance, and chronic disease as we age. Martha's mission began personally—after her husband's Parkinson's diagnosis—leading her to leave a corporate career to investigate healing at the root: the gut. Episode Timeline: 00:00 — Aging symptoms, gut health, and the microbiome 03:30 — Why gut issues worsen after 40 and why aging conversations miss the microbiome 05:10 — Martha's personal journey into microbiome science after Parkinson's diagnosis 08:45 — Antibiotics, missing microbes, and early Parkinson's gut research 12:30 — What biologically changes in the gut with age 15:40 — Endotoxins, gram-negative bacteria, and chronic inflammation 18:20 — Constipation as an early warning sign, not a nuisance 21:00 — Surfactants, cleaners, bile acids, and hormone recirculation 23:40 — Soil microbiomes and what agriculture teaches us about gut healing 26:30 — Food quality, seed oils, and modern processing challenges 28:40 — Beet kvass and fermented foods for nitric oxide and gut support 30:20 — The estrobolome, cortisol, insulin, and hormone–gut feedback loops 33:00 — Practical first steps to restore gut resilience 36:30 — Common mistakes: extreme diets, fasting, and overcorrection 39:10 — Women, cortisol, and metabolic backlash 41:40 — Listener guidance: simple daily changes that matter most 43:30 — Guest resources Call to Action: Connect with Martha Carlin: https://www.instagram.com/biotiquest https://www.facebook.com/BiotiQuest https://www.youtube.com/@BiotiQuest https://twitter.com/biotiquest https://www.linkedin.com/company/biotiquest Connect with Dr. Gillian Lockitch Download your guide to Build Back a Better Body: Strengthen Bones, Muscles, Joint and Fascia Connect with Dr. Gillian Lockitch at askdrgill@gmail.com to request a phone conversation or zoom call Join the Growing Older Living Younger Facebook Community here Share the Growing Older Living Younger podcast link for anyone you care about and invite them to subscribe
If you're struggling with brain fog, chronic fatigue, or autoimmune symptoms, this conversation might completely shift how you think about your body's detox system. In it, I sit down with Dr. Gina Nick to discuss why glutathione - our master antioxidant - is absolutely crucial for managing inflammation and autoimmune conditions. We dive deep into why most people need extra glutathione support, how brain fog and anxiety are often neuroinflammation in disguise, and simple daily actions you can take to support your body's natural detox system. This isn't about expensive IV treatments - it's about giving your body the physiologic support it needs to handle our modern world. ***Disclaimer: As an affiliate, I may earn from qualifying purchases made through the links in this episode.***For the complete show notes, links and transcripts, visit inspiredliving.show/231
What if inflammation isn't just something to manage… but something you could actually remove?For decades, chronic inflammation has been treated with suppression — steroids, biologics, immune blockers. But what if there were a way to physically remove inflammatory burden from the bloodstream?In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Pamela Smith — ER physician, toxicologist, hormone specialist, and pioneer in therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) — to explore the emerging science behind physically reducing inflammatory load.We break down:• What actually happens during therapeutic plasma exchange• How inflammation, cytokines, and antigen load circulate in the blood• Why autoimmune disease may be driven by persistent toxin burden• The connection between mold, plastics, metals, and immune dysfunction• Whether TPE can help long COVID, PCOS, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline• Who should — and shouldn't — consider this therapyThis is not a hype episode.It's a grounded, nuanced exploration of what's possible when inflammation is treated as something measurable — and potentially removable.If you're navigating autoimmune disease, chronic illness, hormone resistance, long COVID, or simply want to understand the future of inflammation science, this conversation will challenge how you think about immune regulation.Is therapeutic plasma exchange the next frontier in functional medicine — or an emerging tool still finding its evidence base?Let's explore the science.

Have you ever wondered if the oils sitting in your pantry might actually be contributing to inflammation? In this episode, I'm diving into one of the most overlooked pieces of the inflammation puzzle: the types of fats we're using every day. Many of the oils marketed as "healthy" may actually be disrupting omega balance, stressing the gut, and keeping inflammation quietly simmering in the background. I'm breaking down: • What makes certain seed oils inflammatory • Why the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio matters so much • Which fats I personally avoid • The traditional, stable fats I use instead • How to confidently read ingredient labels at the store This conversation builds directly on the last two episodes where I shared our personal health journey through a cancer diagnosis and what chronic inflammation really looks like in the body. If you haven't listened to those yet, I encourage you to start there:
In this episode, Dr. Tom O'Bryan, Founder of theDR.com, shares his insights on the critical role of the gut and immune system in chronic inflammatory diseases. He explains how gluten and environmental toxins trigger inflammation and offers guidance on testing, functional medicine, and reversing health challenges through targeted interventions.
Send a textIn the online world we talk so much about inflammation - but what actually matters with it comes to Crohn's & Colitis?In this episode, we talk about the significance of foundational health practices and balanced nutrition over trendy diets.Do you need to do a 4 am ice bath while intermittent fasting and drinking butter coffee? Let's dive into what the research says about inflammation and IBD.Takeaways-Inflammation is often misunderstood and misused in discussions.Context is crucial when discussing health and nutrition.Skipping meals can lead to malnourishment, impacting health.Intermittent fasting may not have the benefits often claimed.Not all processed foods are harmful; some can be beneficial.All foods undergo some level of processing.It's important to focus on whole foods for better health.Two truths can coexist in health discussions.The basics of nutrition must be prioritized before advanced strategies.Understanding individual health needs is essential for effective dietary choices.Chapters-00:00- Understanding Inflammation: A Modern Dilemma11:13- Intermittent Fasting: Myths and Realities13:57- Processed Foods: The Nuanced Conversation17:53- Conclusion: Key Takeaways and ResourcesFollow us on instagram @crohns_and_colitis_dietitiansFollow us on youtube @thecrohnscolitisdietitiansWe love helping provide quality content on IBD nutrition and making it more accessible to all through our podcast, instagram and youtube channel.

Did you know that up to 50% of men develop prostate inflammation by age 50, often without obvious symptoms or abnormal test results? This silent issue can begin years before prostate cancer ever develops, quietly impacting urinary health, sexual function, and long-term risk if left unaddressed. On today's show, I break down why prostate inflammation is so common, why it often goes undetected, and what you can do right now to support prostate health at every stage. We explore the key drivers behind prostate inflammation, including oxidative stress, blood sugar dysregulation, environmental toxins, and lifestyle factors that quietly increase risk over time. So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3660, to learn how to protect your prostate from cancer and inflammation.

Send a textIn this episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael Rubino talks with functional medicine expert Dr. Will Cole about why chronic symptoms are becoming the norm and why “common” doesn't mean normal. Dr. Cole breaks down the epigenetic mismatch between our biology and the modern world, including food quality, environmental toxins (like mold), and chronic stress and trauma.They also discuss the “big bucket vs small bucket” concept, why some people are hit harder by exposures, and why conventional medicine often misses the root causes behind fatigue, anxiety, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction. Dr. Cole shares what he's been saying for years that is now mainstream, plus what he's building next with Longevity RX.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this episode, Regan Archibald breaks down why emotional health isn't “soft”—it's biochemical. He introduces the EPIC triggers (Emotions, Pain, Infections, Chemicals) and focuses on how emotions leave a measurable chemical trail that can either support health or accelerate inflammation. Using examples like anger increasing inflammatory signaling (including IL-6) and gratitude/joy supporting nitric oxide and vascular function, Regan explains how repeated emotional patterns can rewire the brain, shape immune behavior, and even override diet, exercise, and supplements if left unmanaged. The takeaway: practice the pause, choose your response, and build gratitude and connection on purpose. Consistency in emotional regulation can shift physiology toward resilience, recovery, and better long-term health.RESOURCES:Book Comprehensive Labs: https://agelessfuture.com/longevity-labs/FREE copy of The Peptide Blueprint: https://agelessfuture.com/blueprintSign up for future Health Accelerator Challenges calls LIVE! https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YZsiUMOzSyqcE8IinC5YEQ#/registrationBooks: https://www.amazon.com/Books-Regan-Archibald/s?rh=n%3A283155%2Cp_27%3ARegan%2BArchibaldArticles: https://medium.com/search?q=Regan+ArchibaldLIKE/FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE:YouTube -https://www.youtube.com/@ReganArchibald / https://www.youtube.com/@Ageless.FutureLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regan-archibald-ab70b813Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ageless.future/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AgelessFutureHealth/DISCLAIMER: This video is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Hey Heal Squad! Ok, we think this episode will blow your mind! If you've ever felt tired, puffy, brain foggy or all of the above…basically INFLAMMED…this conversation with Dr. Josh Redd is a total answer to all those questions. Dr. Redd, author of The 30-Day Anti-Inflammatory Reset and a leader in functional and personalized medicine, explains to Maria how tiny, chronic inflammatory responses in the body are quietly driving these fatigue-ish flare-ups. The big aha? Inflammation isn't random! It's often your immune system reacting to everyday triggers. The good news: you can calm it. Dr. Redd breaks down how stress, blood sugar, movement, and food can either fuel inflammation or help heal it. For instance, Maria's jaw literally dropped when Dr. Redd explained how coffee could be contributing to her puffiness! You'll also learn why sunlight is a powerful anti-inflammatory tool, which key lab tests can reveal hidden inflammation, and the top two foods most commonly linked to flare-ups. If you've tried everything and still can't figure out why your body feels off, this episode could be the answer you've been waiting for. HEALERS & HEAL LINERS Inflammation isn't just swelling, it's your immune system stuck on high alert: Chronic inflammation can quietly drive fatigue, brain fog, puffiness, hormone issues, and autoimmune flare-ups long before you feel “sick.” Your environment may be as inflammatory as your diet: Sunlight, stress, air quality, water, and even simple habits (like wearing shoes indoors) can either inflame your body or help it heal. Stabilizing blood sugar & removing top trigger foods can change everything: Keeping glucose steady, and addressing gluten and dairy, can dramatically reduce inflammation, improve energy, and calm autoimmune activity.

Roughly 90% of Alzheimer's patients develop neuropsychiatric symptoms including anxiety, persistent fear, and an inability to recognize safety — but little research is being done to investigate why. New data connecting PTSD, trauma, and accelerated brain aging may hold the answer.Dr. Caesar Hernandez is a behavioral, molecular, and circuit neuroscientist and assistant professor in the Division of Gerontology, Geriatrics & Palliative Care at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. His research program seeks to identify modifiable mechanisms that drive vulnerability to age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease.In this conversation with Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, Dr. Hernandez walks through epidemiological evidence linking PTSD to increased Alzheimer's risk, the comorbidity cluster of metabolic syndrome, gut permeability, and neuropsychiatric disorders observed in veteran populations, and why ketogenic interventions may offer a unique therapeutic angle — reducing neuroinflammation and anxiety while making the brain more receptive to rewiring traumatic memories.Questions Answered in This Episode: Could addressing PTSD in midlife meaningfully reduce the risk of cognitive decline and dementia later in life?Why do veteran populations show such high comorbidity between PTSD, metabolic syndrome, and dementia? Could ketogenic therapy serve a similar function to pharmacologically-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD? How does the amygdala - the brain's "fear center" - play a role in Alzheimer's disease? What is the single biggest unanswered question driving Alzheimer's research right now — and why does it go beyond genetics and biochemistry?Dr. Hernandez's driving question — why are negative life experiences associated with an increased the risk of neurodegeneration? — reframes brain aging as something shaped not just by genes and biology, but by the lives we live and the stress we carry.Find more of Dr. Caesar Hernandez online:University of Alabama BirminghamLinkedInSpecial thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅ Genova Connect – Get 15% off any test kit with code METABOLICLINK here.✅ Fatty15 – Get 15% off a 90-day Starter Kit with code METABOLICLINK here.✅ Troscriptions – Get 10% off your first order with code METABOLICLINK here.✅ ZocDoc - Find and instantly book a top-rated doctor here.In every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

In this episode, Dr. Greg Jones sits down with Dr. Sharon Hausman-Cohen, Chief Medical Officer of IntelliXX DNA, to explore how medical genomics is transforming the way we understand heart disease, brain health, inflammation, and metabolism. Most people think genetics stops at traits like eye color or ancestry. Genomics goes much deeper—analyzing how thousands of genes interact to influence cardiovascular risk, cognitive function, clotting tendencies, nutrient metabolism, and chronic inflammation.Dr. Hausman-Cohen explains why many direct-to-consumer DNA tests fall short, how incomplete interpretation can mislead patients, and why clinician-guided genomic analysis allows for truly personalized care. The conversation also dives into inflammation, methylation, homocysteine, cholesterol myths, caffeine metabolism, mitochondrial health, and women's unique clotting risks.Whether you're trying to reduce your risk of heart disease, improve mental clarity, or understand how your biology responds to diet, supplements, and medications—this episode offers a science-based roadmap for precision health.
Parkinson's disease doesn't begin in the brain—it often starts decades earlier, in the gut, immune system, and toxic load of the body. 80% of all Parkinsons Patients had constipation for years before their disease became known to them. In this powerful and in-depth episode of The Whole Body Detox Show, David DeHaas of Living Waters Wellness Center breaks down the real, often ignored root causes of Parkinson's disease, neurodegeneration, tremors, mobility loss, constipation, cognitive decline, and early neurological symptoms.Drawing from the Blaylock Wellness Report and decades of clinical experience, David explains how environmental toxins, pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, inflammation, insulin resistance, and excitotoxicity quietly damage neurons long before symptoms appear.This episode covers:Why Parkinson's often begins in the gut, with constipation as an early warning signHow environmental toxins and fumes enter the brain through the noseThe role of inflammation, TNF-alpha, glutamate, and excitotoxicityWhy pesticides, herbicides, aluminum, and chemical exposure increase neurological riskHow insulin resistance and blood sugar imbalance worsen brain degenerationThe connection between gut toxicity, alpha-synuclein, dopamine loss, and tremorsWhy early symptoms are often reversible when addressed properlyReal clinical stories of people who regained mobility, reduced tremors, and improved quality of lifeThe importance of detoxification, gut healing, and lifestyle medicine for prevention and recoveryDavid also outlines practical prevention strategies, including diet changes, toxin avoidance, gut cleansing, exercise, and targeted supplementation—while emphasizing that true healing requires addressing the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of health.This episode is essential listening for anyone concerned about: Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, dementia, tremors, constipation, inflammation, toxin exposure, or long-term brain health.Call to Action (DM-Driven)

If you've been told your embryos look good, your lining is appropriate, and your hormones are in range, yet implantation keeps failing, it can leave you with a nagging feeling that something is missing, but you can't quite put your finger on it. Most couples don't repeat IVF or transfers casually. They follow the plan that's laid out, adjust protocols, and keep moving forward because that's what makes sense. When outcomes don't change, the explanation often shifts to chance, timing, or trying again. In this episode, we talk about why those explanations often feel unsatisfying, and why implantation failure can persist even when everything looks reasonable on paper. Not because you haven't done enough, but because the full picture may never have been looked at all at once. This conversation is about stepping back and asking better questions before moving forward again. In this episode, we explore: Why "good embryos" and "normal labs" don't always translate into implantation How focusing on individual results can miss what's happening across the whole system Why changing protocols doesn't always address repeat outcomes The kinds of patterns that tend to go unexplored when everything looks fine How to think more clearly about whether another cycle is actually the next step Rather than offering another checklist or protocol, this episode helps you zoom out and understand why implantation is rarely a single-factor issue. I'm Sarah Clark, founder of Fab Fertile and host of Get Pregnant Naturally. For over a decade, my team and I have reviewed hundreds of low AMH and failed IVF cases using functional testing alongside conventional fertility care. We specialize in helping couples identify the physiological patterns driving poor outcomes so decisions are grounded in interpretation, not guesswork. If you've been moving from cycle to cycle without a clear way to evaluate what's actually been addressed, I created a free resource called the Embryo Audit Checklist. It helps you organize past cycles and labs so you can see what's been looked at and what may not have been considered yet. Access it here.
Gut health can be a hidden driver of chronic migraines—especially when it shows up as sugar cravings, inflammation, and hormone imbalance. In this episode, Dr. Taves and functional medicine nutritionist Hallie Brooks explain how gut dysfunction and microbiome imbalance can lower your migraine threshold, why sugar cravings are often biology-driven (not just willpower), and how PCOS/estrogen dominance can overlap with headache patterns.At Novera, we teach that lasting migraine relief requires addressing three essential components. This episode is a deep dive into Component #3: overall health.Novera: Headache Center

I've been helping people with autoimmunity for years, but since 2020, I'm seeing more overlap with chronic fatigue and long COVID than ever before. That's why I brought Dr. Evan Hirsch on the show - he's the EnergyMD who's cracked the code on why 99% of these cases have the same root causes. What he reveals about who actually gets long COVID will surprise you. We dive into his "Toxic Five" framework, why your lab work might be normal but you still feel terrible, and his four-step recovery method that's helping people reclaim their energy in 6-12 months. If you're exhausted despite "normal" test results, this conversation is for you.For the complete show notes, links and transcripts, visit inspiredliving.show/230
Weak grip strength is not a normal part of aging. It is often an early warning sign of metabolic dysfunction. In this episode, Ben explains how issues like insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, mitochondrial decline, and mineral depletion can weaken nerve signaling and muscle function, especially in the hands. Grip strength is one of the strongest predictors of longevity, independence, and overall metabolic health. You'll learn why people can look fit yet still struggle with weak hands, cramping, or fatigue, and how these symptoms often appear years before serious disease. Ben breaks down the four main root causes behind grip weakness and shares a simple daily protocol to restore strength. The episode covers insulin resets, nutrition strategies, mineral support, protein intake, grip training, and the role of creatine in improving strength and muscle signaling. Ben also explains why chronic stress and inflammation accelerate metabolic decline and how gratitude can positively impact metabolism. This episode offers practical, actionable steps you can start today to rebuild grip strength, improve energy, and protect long-term metabolic health.

Dr. Shivani Gupta comes from a family of people with diabetes, generation by generation, where she's seen the after-effects of suffering with chronic metabolic disease. Her new book, The Inflammation Code (launching, distills 20 years of studying Ayurveda into simple pillars you can apply to prevent the level of inflammation and disease we see today. When people tell her, "I have brain fog, I'm tired, my sleep is off, my digestion's off, I have stubborn weight gain…I guess this is just aging," her reply is, "No, it's not aging, it's inflammaging." We had a really excellent, in-depth conversation that covered a lot of ground, from black pepper and the blood-brain-barrier to our detox experiences in India. I hope you enjoy the podcast! In this podcast, Dr. Gupta and I discuss: Her study of Ayurveda, a 5,000-year-old system from India that taught us the circadian clock, modern science discovered what Ayurveda taught 5,000 years ago about living in rhythm with nature The three doshas or constitutions of Vata (air/ether), Pitta (fire/water), and Kapha (earth/water)—understanding your constitution helps customize your self-care practices and diet The circadian clock in Ayurveda teaches that 10:00 to 2:00 PM is Pitta (fire) time, when you're most focused and energetic, and meant to eat your biggest meal 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM is the most important time to be asleep, when Pitta fire cleans and clears inflammation, the lymphatic system, and the glymphatic system (lymphatic system of the brain) Vata people are always in motion and prefer jobs where they don't sit still—they're endurance athletes who can run through the day on coffee, green juice, and crackers (but their homework is three square meals) Pitta people are fiery, passionate leaders who tend to crave hot, oily, spicy fried food…but that's the one thing they shouldn't eat because their digestive fire is already like a bonfire! Kapha people are sturdy, strong, and very grounded, but can struggle with sluggish metabolism, low mood or depression, getting stuck, or not wanting to create change Black pepper increases curcumin absorption by 2,000%—scientists at MD Anderson Cancer Center discovered this, which is why traditional Indian cooking always uses turmeric with black pepper What it feels like to experience a Panchakarma detox in India: "massage that feels like abuse" with paper thongs—Dr. Gupta says, "I can't believe you're allowed to do this to me and I'm paying for it" (both she and I had this experience!) Mental inflammation is the stress we create when forcing ourselves to be healthy; if you force workouts, force protein, force intermittent fasting, the stress alone causes the inflammation you're trying to prevent
On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared sits down with returning guest Jamie Cotter, national educator for WishGarden Herbs, to break down immunity in a way that actually makes sense. Instead of treating the immune system as a one-size-fits-all problem, Jamie explains the four distinct phases of immunity—daily immune maintenance, early onset, active illness, and recovery—and why each phase benefits from a different herbal strategy. You'll learn how tonic herbs support baseline immune resilience, why timing and dosing matter when symptoms first appear, and how targeted herbal formulas can support the body during active immune challenges and lingering recovery phases. This episode empowers listeners to better understand their own immune responses and make informed choices about herbal support, seasonal wellness routines, and immune preparedness—without fear, hype, or guesswork.Products Discussed:Daily ImmuneKick-Ass ImmuneSerious V-FighterDeep LungKick-Ass BioticGet Over It!Buy 4 or more Wishgarden products from HERE and get 25% off through March 7, 2026!Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

18-year-olds wake up fresh because their repair system still works. This episode shows you how stem cell decline quietly drives fatigue, inflammation, and faster aging, and how fasting can reactivate your body's natural ability to repair itself without expensive stem cell procedures. Grab a generous 30% discount on any STEMREGEN product with: http://stemregen.co/dave30 Dave Asprey sits down with Christian Drapeau, a neuroscientist trained at McGill University and a leading researcher in stem cell science. Christian pioneered a therapeutic approach called Endogenous Stem Cell Mobilization, authored the bestselling book Cracking the Stem Cell Code, and developed the concept of stem cell enhancement. He is the Founder and CSO of STEMREGEN, where his work focuses on helping the body release and use its own stem cells more effectively. Together, they break down why many injected stem cells never survive long enough to help, how the lungs trap a large percentage of IV stem cells, and why releasing your own stem cells into arterial circulation changes the outcome. They explore stem cell decline as a core driver of aging, tissue degeneration, and chronic inflammation, and explain why fasting is currently the only intervention shown to rejuvenate stem cells through autophagy. You'll hear why a three-day fast has measurable effects on bone marrow aging, how stem cells act as signaling molecules that coordinate repair across the body, and why mitochondria play a massive and underappreciated role in stem cell renewal and tissue regeneration. The conversation also covers scar tissue, fibrosis, recovery from injury, and why healing quality matters just as much as healing speed. You'll Learn: • Why stem cell decline, not simple wear and tear, drives aging • How fasting supports stem cell rejuvenation through autophagy • Why many injected stem cells die in the lungs before helping tissue • How releasing your own stem cells differs from IV stem cell therapy • Why mitochondria are central to stem cell function and repair • How scar tissue and fibrosis form when repair fails • Why recovery quality determines long-term resilience and longevity Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.
