Hey friend, Have you ever noticed that some weeks your sleep works and other weeks it completely falls apart? Do you ever wake up at 2 or 3 a.m. and wonder why your body suddenly won't settle? Have you asked yourself, “Why am I so tired all the time?” even when you're trying to take care of yourself? I'm Ashley — a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodivergent family. If you're dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you're not alone. This podcast is for chronic illness moms raising neurodivergent kids who want stress relief, better sleep, and simple, realistic habits to finally feel better in their bodies. Each episode shares nervous-system-friendly support to help you calm overwhelm, boost energy, and practice healthy habits that improve your symptoms — even in the middle of a full, demanding life. If you've ever felt like your sleep and energy change week to week, you're not imagining it. Women's hormones operate differently than men's. Men's hormones reset on a 24-hour clock, while women's hormones shift throughout a monthly cycle, which means your body's recovery needs can change week to week. In this episode, I explain why the second half of the cycle often leads to sleep disruption, fatigue, and energy crashes, especially for women already managing chronic illness, stress, or poor sleep. You'll learn what is actually happening in the body, why these weeks can feel harder, and how simple habits from the Power 9 framework can support your body's recovery.

Joints that won't recover. Most people chalk these up to aging or stress. Dr. Will Bulsiewicz says they're all signs of chronic low-grade inflammation, and your body has been trying to tell you something. Unlike acute inflammation that heals a sprained ankle and moves on, chronic inflammation is an immune system stuck in fight mode 24/7, attacking nothing real and draining everything you have. He breaks down why your immune system is actually nocturnal, why morning sunlight is your body's natural anti-inflammatory, and why that post-workout soreness you wake up with is your biology working exactly as designed. The symptoms are hiding in plain sight. This conversation helps you finally connect the dots.

What if inflammation isn't the enemy? For decades we've been told to suppress it, silence it, and eliminate it as quickly as possible. Anti-inflammatory diets. Anti-inflammatory drugs. Anti-inflammatory supplements. But what if the body is doing exactly what it's supposed to do? In this powerful solo episode, Darin breaks down the biology of inflammation and challenges the modern narrative that inflammation itself is the disease. Instead, he reveals a deeper truth: inflammation is a signal — an intelligent response to disruption in the body's environment. From gut health and modern diet to stress, sleep deprivation, environmental toxins, and movement deprivation, this episode uncovers the real drivers behind chronic inflammation and why suppressing the signal without addressing the cause may actually delay healing. This isn't about rejecting modern medicine. It's about asking a better question. Why is the fire there in the first place? In This Episode Why inflammation is the body's emergency response system The difference between acute inflammation and chronic inflammation The chemical cascade that activates the immune response How the body naturally turns inflammation off through resolution molecules Why chronic inflammation is often a signal that the trigger hasn't been removed The gut microbiome and the connection between leaky gut and systemic inflammation Why Western diets dramatically alter inflammatory signaling The omega-6 to omega-3 imbalance in modern food systems How refined sugar activates inflammatory pathways in the body Chronic psychological stress and the HPA axis inflammatory response The gut-brain-inflammation connection and mental health Sleep disruption and the immune-sleep "crosstalk" cycle Why skeletal muscle acts as an anti-inflammatory organ Environmental toxins, PFAS, pesticides, and microplastics as immune triggers What ancient systems like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine understood about inflammation thousands of years ago The global reliance on NSAIDs and the culture of suppressing symptoms Research showing anti-inflammatory drugs may delay healing The cycle of gut damage and chronic inflammation created by long-term NSAID use Why removing triggers is the real path to resolving inflammation Chapters 00:00:03 – Opening: Welcome to SuperLife and the mission of building health sovereignty 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Manna 00:02:16 – Introducing the topic: Why inflammation may be widely misunderstood 00:03:00 – The modern obsession with "anti-inflammatory everything" 00:04:14 – Reframing inflammation: the body's emergency response system 00:05:30 – What actually happens inside the body during inflammation 00:07:00 – Breakthrough research on the body's natural inflammation resolution system 00:08:01 – Acute inflammation vs chronic inflammation explained 00:09:14 – Chronic inflammation and its link to major diseases 00:09:45 – Why inflammation is often a symptom rather than the root cause 00:10:40 – The gut microbiome and its role in regulating inflammation 00:11:40 – How ultra-processed foods damage the gut and trigger inflammatory signals 00:12:23 – Sponsor: Our Place 00:14:53 – Omega-3 vs omega-6 fats and their influence on inflammatory pathways 00:15:48 – Sugar, insulin signaling, and metabolic inflammation 00:16:09 – Chronic stress and the inflammatory cascade 00:17:06 – The gut-brain-inflammation connection 00:18:00 – Sleep and the body's nightly inflammatory reset 00:18:31 – Muscle contraction and the release of anti-inflammatory myokines 00:19:16 – Environmental toxins and why the immune system responds with inflammation 00:20:04 – Ancient perspectives on inflammation, including Ayurveda's concept of "Pitta" 00:22:48 – The widespread use of NSAIDs and anti-inflammatory medications 00:23:50 – Research showing suppressing inflammation may delay healing 00:25:05 – The vicious cycle of NSAIDs damaging the gut and increasing inflammation 00:26:15 – Dietary patterns that reduce inflammatory triggers 00:27:18 – Why daily movement acts as natural anti-inflammatory medicine 00:27:50 – A better question to ask your doctor: Why is inflammation present? 00:28:09 – The final perspective: inflammation as communication from the body 00:29:07 – Closing message: inflammation is not the enemy: it's the conversation Thank You to Our Sponsors Our Place – Non-toxic cookware that keeps harmful chemicals out of your food.

It is your body raising the alarm: responding to stress, toxins, injury, imbalance, and disruption. Suppressing the alarm without asking why it's ringing keeps the cycle going. Healing begins when we stop fighting the signal and start listening to what the body is trying to tell us. Your body isn't broken. It's responding to the environment it's been given. Change the environment and the biology follows.
In this episode, Dr. David Jockers explores the seven root causes of inflammation, which are major contributors to chronic conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and autoimmunity. Understanding these underlying factors is essential to addressing inflammation at its source. Dr. Jockers highlights how issues like leaky gut and low stomach acid can trigger systemic inflammation, leading to far-reaching consequences for health. You'll also learn about the importance of balancing blood sugar to prevent inflammation. Elevated blood sugar levels create advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which damage tissues and lead to oxidative stress. Dr. Jockers explains how blood sugar imbalances set the stage for inflammation and how you can stabilize it to promote healing. Additionally, the episode dives into the impacts of physical and emotional trauma, toxic load, and circadian rhythm dysfunction on the body's inflammation levels. Dr. Jockers offers practical insights on how to reduce these stressors and better support your body's healing processes, enabling you to restore balance and prevent further health complications.

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Shivani Gupta to talk about Ayurveda, inflammation, and what this 5,000 year old system of medicine reveals about Hashimoto's and thyroid health.There are moments in clinical practice where you realize the conversation around inflammation has been too narrow. We measure antibodies. We look at gut markers. We talk about nutrients. But there is another layer that often gets overlooked, the way daily rhythm and nervous system patterns shape immune behavior.Ayurveda does not separate digestion from stress or stress from immune signaling. It looks at the entire terrain. It asks how your constitution influences the way you burn through energy, hold onto it, or stagnate it. It challenges the idea that everyone should follow the same rules for healing.What I appreciate about this discussion is that it does not add complexity. It adds perspective. It reframes inflammation as something influenced by pace, timing, and consistency, not just inputs.If you have ever felt like you were doing everything on paper and still missing something deeper, this episode will help you see your thyroid in a more integrated way.For full show notes, please see:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/ayurveda-inflammation-hashimotos-thyroid-dr-shivani-gupta/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 If 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/zoomcallFor more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit InnaTopiler.com
In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, Debbie is joined by Shivani Gupta—Ayurvedic practitioner, turmeric researcher, and author of The Inflammation Code. We explore how Ayurveda can be used as a preventive, modern lifestyle tool to calm chronic inflammation, balance hormones, and restore energy—without restrictive dieting. Dr. Shivani shares what led her to Ayurveda, why turmeric became central to her work, and the key pillars from her new book, including Mental Inflammation™, gut and estrobolome support, and simple daily rituals that actually stick. This conversation is especially powerful for midlife, high-performing women dealing with brain fog, bloat, fatigue, poor sleep, and hormone chaos—who want root-cause solutions that work in real life.
In this episode, Guy talked with Dr. Mario Martinez, explaining it inspired him to test biological vs chronological age and offering a partner discount for DNA-related tests. Dr. Martinez discussed longevity myths, arguing centenarians—not gerontologists—are the key evidence, and that genetics account for about 20%. He described "inflammaging," noting centenarians show compensatory immune responses and research suggesting some inflammatory processes become anti-inflammatory; in a study of 50 centenarians, average biological age tested about 25 years younger. He critiques biohacking and excessive supplements, emphasizing lifestyle, perception, and emotions. Martinez outlined eight factors—four perceptions (time, aging, health, self-valuation) and four emotions (generosity, gratitude, admiration, curiosity)—and introduced the Centenarian Consciousness Index (CCI) plus GlycanAge finger-prick testing to track biological age over time. They covered curiosity as an antidote to default-mode self-sabotage, cultural "portals" that enforce aging, moderation, connection, self-care, and language cues like saying "thank you" instead of "no problem." About Dr. Mario: Dr Mario Martinez is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in how cultural beliefs affect the interaction of productivity, health and longevity. He is the founder of Biocognitive Science and the Empowerment Code. He developed an organizational model that views productivity and wellness as inseparable components of sustainable profits. The Empowerment Code is the first organizational training program that brings combined principles of cultural psychoneuroimmunology, cultural neuroscience and cultural anthropology to the workplace. Based on parameters that allow the immune system to make several hundred thousand decisions per minute, the Empowerment Code offers an organizational language that maximizes creativity, initiative and productivity, while diminishing conditions that contribute to chronic illnesses. Martinez holds a Masters degree in clinical psychology from Vanderbilt University and a Doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Madrid. He also has post-doctoral training in psychopharmacology from Farleigh Dickinson University. Because of his work in how cultural beliefs affect the immune system, Martinez has investigated alleged cases of stigmata for the Catholic Church, the BBC, National Geographic and Discovery Channel. He lectures worldwide on his theory of Biocognition and teaches Empowerment Code principles to top US corporate executives and to global organizations in Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia Pacific.

Why is it that some people eat well, exercise consistently, and still struggle to lose weight? If you've ever felt like your body is fighting against you instead of working with you, today's episode may provide the missing piece. Emerging research suggests that fat cells don't just store energy they may also act as a protective buffer against chronic inflammation. That means your body could be swelling existing fat cells or even creating new ones in response to internal stress, toxins, hormone imbalances, or immune activation. So on today's Cabral Concept 3673, I'll break down the research behind how inflammation disrupts fat-burning hormones and share practical strategies to lower inflammation, so your body no longer feels the need to hold onto protective fat.

Host Erin Kerry interviews internationally recognized naturopathic physician and functional medicine leader Dr. Jaquel Patterson to unpack why anxiety, depression, and ADHD are skyrocketing…and why medications often stop working. Dr. Patterson explains the missing link between chronic inflammation, infections, gut health, and neuropsychiatric symptoms — especially in kids and teens. They discuss the labs your doctor may not be running, how to identify biological drivers of mental health struggles, and why functional medicine looks beyond “normal” ranges to find what's optimal. Key Topics: - Chronic inflammation and how it disrupts the blood-brain barrier, neurotransmitters, and medication effectiveness - The biological drivers behind rising rates of anxiety, depression, and ADHD - Why standard labs miss key issues — and the optimal ranges that matter (ferritin, cortisol, thyroid, CRP, IL-6, ESR, testosterone) - How infections, including strep, Lyme disease, and tick-borne co-infections impact behavior, mood, and cognition - Understanding PANS/PANDAS and sudden-onset OCD, anxiety, and tics in children - The role of gut health, antibiotic exposure, and microbiome repair in brain development - Nutritional supports for kids: amino acids, protein intake, lithium orotate, beef liver, and micronutrients - Mold and environmental toxicity: why symptoms often get misdiagnosed as psychiatric - When medications stop working — and the physical issues to rule out - Practical first steps: blood work, environmental assessments, and small habits for long-term healing Links: Website: http://fairfieldfamilyhealth.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drjaquel/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/naturopathic.physician/
Nutritional Support for Brain Health: Lifestyle, Curcumin, Magnesium, and Key Nootropics: Nutrition educator/formulator Neil Levin from Protocol for Life Balance details nutritional support for brain health amid skepticism about “brain-boosting” supplements, citing a preprint randomized controlled trial using a multifaceted lifestyle plan (diet, exercise, sleep) plus targeted supplementation that reportedly improved and even reversed symptoms in people with mild cognitive impairment. They contrast lifestyle strategies with costly, side-effect-prone injectable “plaque-buster” Alzheimer's drugs and notes debate about whether amyloid is a root cause or byproduct. The conversation highlights inflammation and oxidation as major aging-related brain threats and reviews supplements including a brain-targeted curcumin (discussing bioavailability, delivery methods, blood–brain barrier crossing, and claims of lowering beta-amyloid protein), magnesium L-threonate for CNS delivery, phosphatidylserine and acetylcholine support (including huperzine), ginkgo and gotu kola, glutamine/GABA pathways, creatine, omega-3s (DHA/EPA and algae sources), B vitamins, acetyl-L-carnitine, alpha-lipoic acid, and cocoa flavanols, plus concerns about supplement industry enforcement.

Have you ever been told your labs are “normal” — but you don't feel normal?In this episode, I sit down with integrative and functional medicine physician Aaron Hartman, author of Uncurable, to unpack the dangerous gap between normal and optimal — especially for women in midlife.We cover:What lab reference ranges really meanThe cardiovascular markers every woman should know (hs-CRP, LDL particle number, Lp(a), ApoB, homocysteine)Why LDL alone is outdated thinkingThyroid testing beyond TSH (free T3, free T4, reverse T3, antibodies)Ferritin, B12, iodine & nutrient blind spotsEstrogen, progesterone & testosterone — when to start and what actually protects your brain and heartStatins, diabetes risk, and mitochondrial healthGut health, inflammation & autoimmune triggersWhy lifestyle is foundational — and where advanced longevity tools fit inDr. Hartman explains how heart disease begins decades before symptoms appear, why hormone replacement therapy dramatically reduces risk when used appropriately, and how women can advocate for themselves in a system that often dismisses midlife symptoms.If you care about your brain, your bones, your heart — and living strong into your 80s and 90s — this conversation is essential.Did you miss something?

In this solo episode of The Inflammation Code, I introduce a powerful metaphor that can completely shift how you see your health: the iceberg effect.Most of what we experience — joint pain, fatigue, brain fog, bloating, anxiety, stubborn weight gain — is just the tip of the iceberg.What lies beneath the surface? Chronic, systemic inflammation.In this episode, we go below the waterline and explore why treating symptoms alone rarely creates lasting healing — and how understanding root cause inflammation can change the trajectory of your health.This conversation reflects the core beliefs of this podcast:The Body Speaks — Learn to Listen.Integration Over Extremes.Your Body Is Not Broken — Just Out of Balance.In this episode, we explore:Why symptoms are signals — not separate problemsHow chronic inflammation becomes your body's new baselineThe gut-inflammation connection (and what “leaky gut” really means)How cortisol, poor sleep, and stress fuel the inflammatory loopWhy suppressing inflammation isn't the same as resolving itHow Ayurveda and functional medicine approach true root cause healingThe power of daily rhythm, circadian alignment, and constitution-based careYou'll also hear a real client story that illustrates how seven “separate” diagnoses were actually one underlying issue — and how addressing inflammation transformed everything.If you've ever been told “your labs are normal” but you don't feel normal — this episode is for you.Because once you see the full iceberg, you can't unsee it.And that's when real healing begins.Links + Resources mentioned• Learn more about The Inflammation Code: https://theinflammationcode.com• Take the Dosha Quiz: https://shivanigupta.com• 7-Day Inflammation Detox: https://www.7dayinflammationdetox.com/• This episode is sponsored by Fusionary Formulas - Ayurvedic supplements designed to reduce inflammation, support sleep, and restore balance.Shop at: https://fusionaryformulas.comUse code CODE15 for 15% off your first order.

Hey friend, Do you feel anxious and overstimulated even when nothing big is happening? Are you tired all the time but still wired at night? Do you snap at your kids and then wonder why your body couldn't calm down? I'm Ashley — a mom living with chronic illness in a neurodivergent family. If you're dealing with constant fatigue, brain fog, inflammation, and broken sleep while trying to keep up with your kids, you're not alone. This podcast is for chronic illness moms raising neurodivergent kids who want stress relief, better sleep, and simple, realistic habits to finally feel better in their bodies. Each episode shares nervous-system-friendly support to help you calm overwhelm, boost energy, and practice healthy habits that improve your symptoms — even in the middle of a full, demanding life. If you feel anxious, overstimulated, and tired all the time — but can't figure out why your body won't calm down — your breathing pattern may be part of the problem. In this episode, I explain how shallow breathing keeps your nervous system stuck in low-level fight-or-flight, why that leads to burnout symptoms, chronic stress, sleep disruption, and exhaustion, and how to use simple, repeatable resets to support your nervous system. You'll learn: How shallow breathing fuels anxiety and fatigue Why you feel wired and exhausted at the same time How to use the longer exhale reset during hard parenting moments A 2-minute floor reset to calm your nervous system How Air (Power 9) supports Stress and Rest naturally If you've been asking, “Why am I so tired all the time?” — this episode connects the dots.

Have you ever been told your labs are "normal"… but you still feel off? In this episode, Lynne sits down with Katie Hardie, a board-certified holistic nutritionist and FDN practitioner, to unpack what so many midlife women experience: symptoms that don't always show up clearly on standard bloodwork. Katie explains the difference between standard lab ranges (which are designed to identify dysfunction) and functional optimal ranges (which are designed to support how you actually feel). They discuss why it's worth advocating for more comprehensive testing, how inflammation can play a role in midlife symptoms, and why stress support — including simple breathing tools — can be a game-changer for overall wellbeing. They also touch on hormone profiling options like the DUTCH Plus test, and why ongoing support and education can help women feel more confident and less stuck when navigating perimenopause and midlife changes. What You'll Learn · How to start listening to your body's signals in midlife · Standard lab ranges vs functional optimal ranges · Why symptoms matter even when labs look "normal" · Inflammation support through food (simple starting points) · Stress physiology and how it can show up (sleep, anxiety, fatigue) · Simple breathing practices for nervous system support · DUTCH Plus test overview for hormone + cortisol patterns

Most couples do not walk into IVF lightly. By the time you reach a cycle, you have likely changed your diet, added supplements, tried acupuncture, adjusted your lifestyle, and done everything you were told might help. And yet, stimulation begins, and the outcome feels underwhelming. Here's the biological reality: egg and sperm development are influenced during the 90 days before a cycle ever starts. Follicles recruited at stimulation were already developing months earlier. During that window, metabolic signaling, inflammatory load, hormonal communication, and stress physiology quietly set the ceiling for response. When outcomes disappoint, protocols are often adjusted. Doses increase. Supplements stack. Timelines shorten. But stimulation does not create egg quality. It recruits what has already been developing. In this episode, we clarify the difference between preparing for IVF and auditing biological readiness so your next decision is informed, not reactive. In this episode, you'll learn: Why egg and sperm quality are shaped months before retrieval How metabolic instability and inflammation influence follicle recruitment Why adding support without removing interference often changes very little The difference between execution and systems readiness How a functional systems lens protects time, energy, and future cycles 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.
If inflammation is quietly accelerating damage in your body, how would you know? And what can you do about it?Across conditions as different as ALS, cancer, dementia, autoimmune disease, and heart failure, researchers keep finding the same thread: chronic inflammatory burden shapes how illness progresses.Fortunately, inflammatory load can often be influenced, and in this episode of Renegade Remission, I will show you how as we explore the hidden but central role inflammation plays in chronic and terminal illness.You'll hear a rare, peer-reviewed ALS-spectrum case in which reducing inflammatory and toxic burden coincided with unexpected neurological stabilization and measurable improvement. Finally, we'll break down what inflammation actually is, why it appears across seemingly unrelated diseases, and how metabolic stress, toxic exposure, gut dysfunction, nutrient depletion, sleep disruption, and nervous system overload all compound inflammatory strain.In this episode, you'll understand:Why inflammation shows up in nearly every major chronic and terminal illnessHow inflammatory load influences progression, resilience, and repair capacityThe difference between inflammation as a symptom and inflammation as terrainWhy reducing biological burden can sometimes change what appears fixedA calm framework for identifying where inflammation may be highest in your own bodyListen now to understand how inflammation may be shaping your own condition — and what gentle, realistic steps can begin lowering that load.DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not provide medical advice.

“Patients are waiting…”Those simple but profound words from Dr. Steve St. Onge set the tone for this conversation, and for why this work matters so deeply.Science has always fascinated me. I often joke that I'm not smart enough to be a scientist, but I have endless respect for the people who are, especially those who can take incredibly complex ideas and explain them in a way the rest of us can truly understand. This is why I know you're going to love my conversation with Dr. St. Onge. Steve is the Chief Business Officer at Clarametyx. Dr. St. Onge is a PharmD and MBA with more than 15 years of experience spanning clinical care, medical affairs, and leadership in biotechnology. What stands out most about Steve isn't just his impressive résumé, it's his ability to clearly explain the science, the strategy, and, most importantly, the urgency behind the work Clarametyx is doing.I first met Steve in person at the North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) in Seattle, where we had the opportunity to really connect and talk about Clarametyx's approach. Their work focuses on targeting biofilm-driven inflammation and progressive lung damage, an area of significant unmet need for people living with chronic respiratory diseases, including cystic fibrosis. In this conversation, Steve breaks down what biofilms are, why they're so difficult to treat, and how Clarametyx is thinking differently about tackling the inflammation and lung damage they cause.We also talk about the long road of drug development, the responsibility that comes with working in rare disease, and why the phrase “patients are waiting” isn't just a saying, it's a call to action. This episode is an honest, accessible, and hopeful look at science in motion, and at the people behind the research who are driven by the patients counting on progress.If you've ever wanted a clearer understanding of how innovative science moves from idea to impact—and why time matters so much, his is a conversation you won't want to miss.

Concerns have been raised over the presence of microplastics in gum. A health researcher has warned he wouldn't want his own children chewing on gum, due to the health risks associated with consuming the microplastics. University of Technology Sydney Associate Professor Brian Oliver says the health risks are 'unknown', but there's a lot of harmful conditions that could happen. "Inflammation's sort of the precursor to a lot of chronic conditions, so diabetes, respiratory conditions - so we know that the impetuous is there. What we don't know is actually how much inflammation, and exactly how bad." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Hacking Your ADHD. I'm your host, William Curb, and I have ADHD. On this podcast, I dig into the tools, tactics, and best practices to help you work with your ADHD brain. Today, I'm joined by Skye Waterson for our Research Recap series. In this series, we look at a single research paper, dive into what it says and how it was conducted, and try to find practical takeaways. In this episode, we're going to be discussing a paper called "Evaluation of Maternal Inflammation as a Marker of Future Offspring ADHD Symptoms: A Prospective Investigation." This study investigates the biological origins of ADHD—specifically, whether a mother's immune system during pregnancy might be able to predict ADHD symptoms in her children once they are born.

In this week's podcast episode in the Nutrition After Breast Cancer: Just the Facts series, I bring up the study that sparked that concern. I don't ignore things like this. I don't pretend they don't exist. If there's research being talked about, I want you to know about it. But here are the actual facts. The study was done in mice. The mice were made to consume about 40% of their diet in olive oil. And the rest of their diet was an obesogenic, high-carbohydrate diet designed to promote weight gain and metabolic dysfunction. That is not a Mediterranean diet. That is not olive oil drizzled over vegetables and salmon. That is not real life. It was a laboratory model designed to stress metabolism. Context matters. Deeply.

Or maybe you've never had testing confirm it, but you're wondering if you may have low progesterone based on your symptoms — insomnia, anxiety, cycle issues, fertility struggles. Or maybe you've tried all. the. things. for low progesterone in women — supplements, birth control, natural treatments, cycle syncing — but nothing has actually changed… and you're left wondering what else there is to do? If you said "yes" to any of these, this episode is for you. Today we're continuing the Real Root Cause Series, where I'm taking conditions that are commonly labeled as root causes — and breaking down to you what their REAL root causes are. This is super powerful because understanding a fake vs. real root cause is the difference between healing from your symptoms permanently... or not. Today's topic: low progesterone. In this episode, I'm breaking down:The most common low progesterone signs and symptoms in womenWhy low progesterone isn't a root causeWhy birth control, IUDs, and even “natural” progesterone support miss the mark to healing your WHOLE bodyThe 6 real root causes quietly driving low progesteroneAnd the 5 tests you need to do find your specific root causes - and naturally bring progesterone back up And one more thing — for this entire Real Root Cause Series, I've created visual guides to help you see the big picture clearly.

The Blizzard of 2026 was supposed to shut everything down with up to 3 feet of snow. Instead, Shawna and LaLa got 8 inches while Long Island got buried… allegedly 30 inches. Or 30 feet if you ask Shawna. LaLa sounds off on facts over feelings when it comes to Botox, viral hot takes, and why emotion should not replace evidence. Plus, powerful interviews with Cindy Yates, CEO of PiperBlue Organics, on clean beauty and confidence, and Dr. Kara Wada, board certified allergist, immunologist, and functional medicine physician, breaking down inflammation, immune health, and advocating for yourself in a broken system.
What if inflammation isn't something to "fight"… but a signal your nervous system can't turn off? In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by Kevin J. Tracey, MD — President and CEO of The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research and a global leader in neuroimmunology and bioelectronic medicine. Dr. Tracey is best known for discovering the inflammatory reflex — the neural circuit through which the vagus nerve actively regulates the immune system. His work changed how we understand inflammation, chronic disease, recovery, and healing itself. And for high-performing, driven, midlife athletes and professionals… this science explains why so many people are stuck. In this episode, we connect Dr. Tracey's groundbreaking research directly into my FLOW Foundation™ framework:
Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, or CRSwNP, is a condition driven by ongoing inflammation. That is why treatment is not a one-time fix and why polyps can come back even after surgery. In this episode, Dr. Payel Gupta and Kortney are joined by Dr. Maeve O'Connor, a board-certified allergist and immunologist, to walk through CRSwNP treatment options. This episode is released around World Anosmia Day because loss of smell is one of the most frustrating and most common symptoms of CRSwNP, and one that treatment can actually help with. What we cover in this episode about nasal polyps treatment Nasal therapies as your base management: Saline rinses and nasal steroid sprays are the foundation of CRSwNP treatment. They need to be used consistently as part of your daily routine, not just when symptoms flare. Why nasal polyps keep coming back: CRSwNP is driven by ongoing inflammation, not just the polyps themselves, so removing them does not address the root cause. When surgery is the right choice: Sinus surgery can open blocked passages and help nasal sprays reach deeper into the sinuses, but works best as part of a long-term plan, not a one-time fix. What biologic medications actually do: Biologics target the underlying inflammation causing CRSwNP. Four are currently approved for CRSwNP: dupilumab, omalizumab, mepolizumab, and tezepelumab. Why follow-up care matters even when you feel better: Inflammation can return before symptoms become noticeable, so regular check-ins with your allergist or ENT are key to catching early signs of polyp regrowth. About our guest Dr. Maeve O'Connor, MD, FACAAI, FAAAAI, is a board-certified allergist and immunologist and founder of Allergy Asthma & Immunology Relief (AAIR) of Charlotte, North Carolina. She treats patients of all ages, practices integrative medicine, and has been named a Top Doctor by Charlotte Magazine since 2007.

Why is it that some people eat well, exercise consistently, and still struggle to lose weight? If you've ever felt like your body is fighting against you instead of working with you, today's episode may provide the missing piece. Emerging research suggests that fat cells don't just store energy they may also act as a protective buffer against chronic inflammation. That means your body could be swelling existing fat cells or even creating new ones in response to internal stress, toxins, hormone imbalances, or immune activation. So on today's Cabral Concept 3673, I'll break down the research behind how inflammation disrupts fat-burning hormones and share practical strategies to lower inflammation, so your body no longer feels the need to hold onto protective fat.

For most of the past century, more women than men have died from cardiovascular disease. Yet, heart disease is still widely perceived as a male problem. That's why in this episode, we dive into why cardiovascular and metabolic health are essential for women, especially in midlife, and why education is your greatest tool. You'll gain the confidence to advocate for yourself and make informed decisions about your long-term health. I'll also be sharing my favorite simple habits to kickstart your metabolism, protect your heart, and boost your everyday energy. Remember, it never has to be perfect—consistency builds momentum, and that's where real change begins. Tune in here to gain key insight and prioritize yourself and your longevity! IN THIS EPISODE Recognizing the warning signs of cardiovascular disease Labs and markers you should be asking your physician for Why lifestyle medicine matters SO much in midlife How to build metabolically healthy plates for each meal Setting simple movement goals for optimal heart health The massive benefits of sleep, mindfulness, and breath work Supplements to support your cardiovascular and metabolic health The pros of appropriately timed hormone replacement therapy QUOTES “Heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined. Not breast cancer, not ovarian cancer. All cancers combined. And what's even more alarming for most women, the warning signs begin years- sometimes decades- before a heart attack or stroke ever happens.” “Research shows that insulin resistance is a primary driver of cardio metabolic disease in women, especially after menopause.” “You do not need perfection. You need 7,000 steps per day, walking after meals, fewer long sitting stretches. Get up and move your butt, even if it means walking around your house or going around the block. Start building your life around movement. This is one of the most powerful yet underestimated tools for heart health and for your resilience.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Order your Berkeley Life Nitric Oxide Support Supplement https://berkeleylife.pxf.io/Vxvdja RELATED EPISODES 716: Midlife, Hormones & Heart Health: The Critical Connection You're Not Hearing About with Cathy Eason 711: Estrogen, Inflammation, and Your Heart Health: What Every Woman Needs to Know with Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj 690: The Perimenopause Revolution: Why midlife isn't the end — it's the beginning of your most energized, powerful, and vibrant self 686: Your Second Puberty Explained: What's Really Happening to Your Body in Perimenopause
So many midlife women are functioning, leading, and showing up for everyone else, happily, I might add, while quietly running on empty. And the reality is, stress has become such a constant hum that symptoms like exhaustion, brain fog, and inflammation start to feel “normal.” Daily, chronic stress increases the inflammation load leading to more fatigue and more brain fog in the midlife season. In today's episode, I'm joined by my longtime mentor and friend, Linda Frisch, Co-Founder of SHAPE ReClaimed, a company I've partnered with for years to support my clients with targeted anti-inflammatory solutions. We're having an honest conversation about what midlife women are really dealing with....chronic stress, hormonal shifts, fatigue, and brain fog....and how stress quietly drives inflammation in both the brain and body. You will discover the #1 thing that is missing in women's wellness! Linda shares what she's seeing work best for women in perimenopause and menopause, and we simplify what actually matters when you're already overwhelmed and don't know where to start.

Dr. Tony Wyss-Coray, PhD, is a professor of neurology at Stanford School of Medicine who is discovering factors present in young blood and in exercised blood that can improve brain, heart and other organ health. We discuss how different organs age at different rates and how to accurately measure biological aging. We also discuss the specific proteins found in blood when we are young and that are increased by things such as exercise, sunlight exposure, short-term fasting, specific foods and social connection that can significantly increase vitality, restore youthful functioning of the brain and body and potentially increase lifespan.

Most people think lab tests are only useful once something is wrong. But what if your blood work could show you where your health is headed—years before disease ever develops? In today's Office Hours, I break down how to read your labs through a functional medicine lens—so you can spot early dysfunction, connect the dots between symptoms and biomarkers, and take control of your health before problems escalate. In this episode, I walk you through: • Why “normal” lab ranges often miss early warning signs • The key markers that reveal the most about metabolic health, inflammation, thyroid function, nutrients, and cardiovascular risk • How functional medicine focuses on optimal ranges, patterns, and trends—not just disease thresholds • What your labs can tell you about symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, and gut issues • How to track your numbers over time and ask smarter questions to shift from reaction to prevention Labs aren't just for diagnosing disease—they're a roadmap to optimizing your future health. When you understand your numbers, you stop guessing and start making data-driven decisions that build resilience and longevity. Visit functionhealth.com for 160+ lab tests at just $365 a year.

This week, Gabby talks with Dr. Taz — traditionally trained physician, integrative medicine expert, and founder of Whole Plus — about what it really means to practice medicine in today's world.They begin with the new U.S. health guidelines and unpack why Dr. Taz considers them a “win” — particularly the shift toward whole foods, protein, healthy fats, fiber, and the callout of ultra-processed foods. But the conversation quickly goes deeper.They discuss why food pairing and portion size matter more than food labels, how blood sugar and inflammation are driving modern disease, and why simple carbohydrates may be at the center of the chronic illness epidemic.From there, the episode moves into something bigger: shared decision-making in medicine. Dr. Taz explains why individualized care — especially in pediatrics — requires nuance, context, and trust between families and physicians. She shares her own journey through personal health struggles, how that experience reshaped her medical philosophy, and why healing requires more than just prescriptions and protocols.Gabby and Dr. Taz also explore:Micro habits that lower cortisol and improve metabolic healthThe impact of blue light and screens on inflammationWhy 10-minute practices can shift your nervous systemThe difference between “data-driven” health and intuitive healthGender differences in how men and women approach wellnessThe importance of family systems in long-term healingWhy medicine must move from authority to partnershipAt its core, this conversation isn't about trends or controversy. It's about reconnecting science with spirit — and empowering families to think critically, ask better questions, and practice health in ways that actually work for their lives.Chapters00:00 – Why evidence-based holistic medicine matters05:00 – The new U.S. health guidelines: what changed10:00 – Simple carbs, insulin resistance, and inflammation15:00 – Full-fat foods, meat, and food pairing nuance22:00 – Why personalization beats rigid rules30:00 – Gender differences in health blind spots40:00 – Micro habits: 10-minute practices that shift cortisol50:00 – Personalized medicine and micro-dosing prescriptions58:00 – Pediatric care, shared decision-making, and gut health1:08:00 – Trust in medicine and rebuilding relationships1:18:00 – Medicine as a calling, not a business1:24:00 – What keeps Dr. Taz groundedKey Takeaways• Pairing and portions matter more than labels.• Inflammation and blood sugar instability drive most chronic disease.• Micro habits can regulate cortisol without overwhelming change.• Health is contextual — environment, stress, and family systems all matter.• Personalized medicine isn't alternative — it's responsible.• Shared decision-making builds trust between doctors and families.• Nervous system regulation may be the foundation of long-term healing.ConnectDr. TazInstagram: @drtazmdWhole Plus: https://holplus.coGabby ReeceInstagram: @gabbyreeceYouTube: The Gabby Reece ShowProduced by Dear Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
You're taking 600 IU of vitamin D.Your labs say “normal.”But you could still be deficient. In this episode, Ben reveals why the official vitamin D recommendations were based on preventing rickets, not optimizing immunity, metabolism, muscle, or brain health. Independent researchers reanalyzed the original RDA data and found the required intake for adequacy was dramatically higher — yet the guidelines barely changed. Vitamin D is not just a vitamin. It functions like a steroid hormone and impacts: Immune regulation Inflammation control Insulin sensitivity Muscle protein synthesis Brain function Low vitamin D is strongly associated with insulin resistance, and since 93% of Americans are insulin resistant, this could be a massive blind spot. Ben also explains: Why “normal” lab ranges may still mean deficiency Why optimal levels should be above 60 ng/mL How obesity lowers circulating vitamin D Why magnesium and vitamin K2 are required for proper activation Why toxicity fears are overblown compared to widespread insufficiency You'll also learn the simple 3-step plan to optimize vitamin D safely: Smart midday sun exposure Intelligent supplementation with D3 + K2 + magnesium Regular testing and cofactor support If you're over 45, insulin resistant, or struggling with stubborn inflammation, this episode could be a game changer. You don't have a weak immune system.You may just have an under-supported one.
