Welcome to the last Air Health Our Health podcast of Season Five. This is a collaboration with the American Thoracic Society's Breathe Easy podcast, of which I am a new host. We produce over 450 million tons of plastic each year, the majority of which accumulates in the environment- it is vital to understand how that impacts us. For today's episode, I interview Dr Adam Soloff, PhD a researcher at the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center of the University of Pittsburgh in the department of cardiothoracic surgery and immunology. He describes himself as the “Lorax of the Thorax” and walks us through research on how ever-present microplastics that we inhale can seed tissues throughout the body and what that does to our immune system. So what can you do? Look at where you are using plastic in your own life and see if you can replace it with a healthier option. Few options here.Find out what can be done to reduce plastics in your community. Look up your members of Congress and share with them your concern about dismantling important science-based support for health at the federal level, whether the NIH, EPA, CDC, VA and more. Then, look up your city councilperson and state legislator to ask what they are doing to help prevent plastic pollution and find out what you can do to help.Finally, be sure to enjoy the beautiful planet on which we all live and take at least one step to keep it beautiful and healthy. Find what you can do and do it. None of us have to do everything, but we can all do something.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Mannkid expects to talk to the FDA about Afrezza inhaled insulin for pediatric approval early in 2025. The company just announced six-month results from its Phase 3 INHALE-1 study of kids aged 4-17 with type 1 or type 2 diabetes comparing either inhaled pre-meal insulin or multiple daily injections (MDI) of rapid-acting insulin analog, both in combination with basal insulin. A 26-week extension phase in which all remaining MDI patients were switched to inhaled insulin is ongoing. HbA1c change over 26 weeks exceeded the prespecified non-inferiority margin of 0.4% (0.435%), largely driven by the variability of a single patient who did not adhere to the study protocol. A modified ITT (mITT) analysis, which excluded this subject, did not exceed the predetermined threshold of 0.4% (0.370%), thereby establishing the non-inferiority of Afrezza to MDI, which was the primary endpoint of the study. Over 26 weeks of treatment, there were no differences in lung function parameters between the treatment groups, There were no differences between groups or concerns in other safety measures, including hypoglycemia. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/inhaled-insulin-benefits-kids-diabetes-too-2024a1000nex XX Dexcom announces the use of AI for its Stelo platform. The company says the new Dexcom GenAI platform will analyze individual health data patterns to reveal a direct association between lifestyle choices and glucose levels while providing actionable insights to help improve metabolic health. Stelo users will start seeing the features this week. The AI is modeled after Google Cloud's Vertex AI and Gemini models. We'll hear more about this in January – Dexcom will be part of a panel at the Consumer Electronics Show about AI and healthcare. BTW this press release is the first time I've seen what seems to be a new slogan for Dexcom – Discover What You're Made Of. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241217011997/en/Dexcom-Launches-the-First-Generative-AI-Platform-in-Glucose-Biosensing XX Staying with Dexcom, users report that the geofencing issue we reported on seems to be resolved. Previously, if you had an issue with Dexcom G7 outside of your home country, you couldn't reinstall or use the app without customer support. With the latest iOS and Android G7 apps, this seems to be resolved. This is according to the folks in the DIY community who first brought it to my attention. XX Interesting insulin development to watch. Egypt approves EVA Pharma's insulin drug products, which is a collbaration between Eli llly and EVA, an Egyptian company. The Egyptian Drug Authority approved the insulin glargine injection manufactured by EVA Pharma through a collaboration with Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY). Launched in 2022, the collaboration aims to deliver a sustainable supply of high-quality, affordable human and analog insulin to at least one million people annually living with type 1 and type 2 diabetes in low- to middle-income countries (LMICs), most of which are in Africa. Lilly has been supplying its active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for insulin to EVA Pharma at a significantly reduced price and providing pro-bono technology transfer to enable EVA Pharma to formulate, fill and finish insulin vials and cartridges. This collaboration is part of the Lilly 30x30 initiative, which aims to improve access to quality health care for 30 million people living in resource-limited settings annually by 2030. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/lilly-and-eva-pharma-announce-regulatory-approval-and-release-of-locally-manufactured-insulin-in-egypt-302333269.html XX Can we add treating sleep apnea to the list of applications for terzepatide? That's the generic for Zepbound and Mounjaro. Phase 3 study shows that 10- and 15-milligram injections of Zepbound "significantly reduced the apnea-hypopnea index" among those who have obesity and moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea. Eli Lilly said there was nearly a 20% reduction in weight among those in the trials. The company said it plans to submit its findings to the Food and Drug Administration and other global regulatory agencies beginning mid-year. https://www.aol.com/popular-weight-loss-drug-could-131507702.html XX Health Canada okays Tandem's tslim X2 with Dexcom G7 and G6 making it the first and only insulin pump in Canada that is integrated with both Dexcom sensors. Now, t:slim X2 users in Canada can experience even more choice when it comes to CGM compatibility, along with the option to spend more time in closed loop with Dexcom G7's 30-minute sensor warm-up time, faster than any other CGM on the market.3 In addition, t:slim X2 users who pair Dexcom G7 with an Apple smartwatch4 can see their glucose numbers directly from their watch without having to access their pump or smartphone4. Tandem will email all in-warranty t:slim X2 users in Canada with instructions on how to add the new compatibility feature free of charge via remote software update. t:slim X2 pumps pre-loaded with the updated software will begin shipping to new customers in early January 2025. To check coverage and start the process of getting a Tandem insulin pump, please visit tandemdiabetes.ca. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241210731189/en/Tandem-tslim-X2-Insulin-Pump-Now-Compatible-with-Dexcom-G7-CGM-in-Canada XX A federal jury on Tuesday awarded Insulet $452 million in its patent skirmish with EOFlow over insulin patch pumps. The jury awarded Insulet $170 million in compensatory damages from EOFlow and an additional $282 million in exemplary damages for willful and malicious misappropriation. A judge has not yet entered a judgment on the decision. Insulet filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts in 2023, claiming EOFlow copied patented components of its Omnipod insulin pumps. In October 2023, the Massachusetts district court issued a preliminary injunction against EOFlow. Following that decision, Medtronic called off plans to buy EOFlow for about $738 million. A federal appeals court later overturned the preliminary injunction, and EOFlow resumed selling its devices in Europe. The company recently defended against a separate injunction filed by Insulet in Europe's Unified Patent Court, according to Korea Biomedical Review, an online English newspaper based in Seoul, South Korea. The Massachusetts jury found this week that EOFlow and CEO Jesse Kim, as well as two of three former Insulet employees who were named as defendants in the lawsuit, misappropriated Insulet's trade secrets. Insulet CEO Jim Hollingshead said the company is “extremely pleased with the jury's verdict.” EOFlow did not immediately respond to a request for comment. https://www.medtechdive.com/news/insulet-eoflow-jury-verdict-patent-lawsuit/734745/ XX A tele-education program for health care providers who treat people with diabetes resulted in significant improvements in patient outcomes, including better blood sugar levels and increased use of medical devices to manage the disease, a University of Florida study finds. Led by researchers in the UF College of Public Health and Health Professions and the UF College of Medicine, the program used the Extension for Community Health Care Outcomes model, which has been adopted worldwide to train clinicians who treat patients with a variety of conditions. Known as Project ECHO, this is one of the first to demonstrate patient benefits for the program in a large, randomized trial. The findings appear in the journal Diabetes Care. https://ufhealth.org/news/2024/clinician-training-program-leads-to-better-outcomes-for-patients-with-diabetes XX New app under development to make driving safer for people with diabetes. Diabetes Driving Pal says it will use CGM data and guide you while you are driving without any annoying alerts. Guidance/suggestions will be on your car dashboard so that you don't have to look at phone and it will be very individualized and actionable. In a study last year, ~70% of people have reported (5% reported accident) to have at least one low blood sugar while driving and most reported that CGM alerts were not enough to protect them. We are hoping to start beta testing in a few months. We are trying to raise the fund to develop this product. We need your support. For more information, please visit: https://lnkd.in/gTDhnDc4 XX I'm also going to link to the top ten most read diabetes and endocrinology stories of 2024 from Medscape. This is almost all GLP-1 related.. and mostly for people with type 2. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/icymi-top-10-diabetes-endocrinology-stories-2024-2024a1000n6u?&icd=login_success_email_match_fpf XX That's it for the last In the News of 2024!

As part of the June issue, the European Respiratory Journal presents the latest in its series of podcasts. Deputy Chief Editor Don Sin interviews Steven D. Nathan (Inova Fairfax Hospital, Falls Church, VA, USA) about the PERFECT study, which showed that inhaled treprostinil does not demonstrate a positive risk–benefit ratio in favour of treatment in pulmonary hypertension associated with COPD.
There are so many misconceptions out there about inhaled insulin! Most endocrinologists still don't understand it. The misconceptions keep some doctors from even letting their patients try it! But Ginger is obsessed with it. Sami wants to try it. Her mother is worried about her lungs. Sami's struggling to correct highs! Afrezza inhaled insulin is the fastest insulin on the market — shouldn't Sami be able to try it? OH MY! Type 1 diabetes is so tedious, but inhaled insulin is a game-changer.

In this episode, we discuss the recently published RCT AMIKINHAL, which tested the efficacy of inhaled amikacin in preventing VAP in ICU patients who were ventilated for> 72 hours. Although, this trail demonstrated reduced incidence of VAP in intervention arm, it's premature to adopt these practices widely in intensive care.
Dr. John Fleetham chats with Dr. Barbro N Melgert and Dr. Chris Carlsten about their articles, "Inhalable Textile Microplastic Fibers Impair Airway Epithelial Differentiation" and "Inhaled Microplastics and Airway Development: Concerning Evidence from Organoids."
The inhalable insulin known as Afrezza begins affecting blood glucose remarkably faster than injected insulin, in just roughly 2 minutes. Ginger Vieira tells us her experience using Afrezza for three years, how she implements it into her treatment and how it works.

Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a rare, genetic disease that arises from structural defects or the absence of the cilia lining of respiratory tract. This leads to mucus littered with trapped microbes, dust, and other debris getting caught in the airways, which can lead to permanent lung damage. Ethris is developing an inhaled mRNA therapy to get the body to produce a needed structural protein to restore normal cilia structure and function. We spoke to Thomas Langenickel, chief medical officer of Ethris, about how the company's technology overcomes existing challenges for the therapeutic use of mRNA, its ability to deliver treatments directly to the lung, and its pipeline of therapies in development.
Remember our summer of smoke? The murky skies? The smell? There were days where you could almost taste the smoke. A special report from Axios finds this year, Minnesotans inhaled more Canadian wildfire smoke than much of the United States. In fact, the amount of smoke you took in was as if you smoked nearly four packs of cigarettes. Thousands of wildfires across Canada this year incinerated an area larger than Florida and those fires are still burning today in Alberta and British Columbia. Thankfully, that smoke has not traveled to Minnesota the way it did this summer.

Current COVID-19 vaccines offer great protection from serious illness, but they don't prevent people from becoming infected in the first place. Because of this, researchers have been searching for ways to boost mucosal immunity — the immune response on mucosal surfaces — as this is where the virus is first encountered by the body. Now a team have shown that mucosal immunity can be improved enough to block infection in rhesus macaques by administering booster vaccines directly into their lungs, through inhalation. They hope this could offer a way to stop humans getting COVID-19 in the future.Research Article: McMahan et al.Subscribe to Nature Briefing, an unmissable daily round-up of science news, opinion and analysis free in your inbox every weekday.

Dr Glenn McConell chats with Associate Professor from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. He is an expert on the effect of beta2-agonist asthma bronchodilator medications (like Ventolin) on muscle and exercise performance. We talked about what is asthma/exercise induced bronchoconstriction, can you train your lungs?, the increased prevalence of asthma in endurance athletes, can asthma limit aerobic capacity, what are beta2-agonists?, acute and chronic effects of beta2-agonists on muscle mass, sprinting, strength and endurance, side effects of beta2-agonists and negative effects of beta2 agonists on endurance exercise.

Welcome to Season 3 of The Baby Manual podcast with Dr. Carole Keim - pediatrician, mom, author of The Baby Manual and the upcoming Holistic Mamas Handbook. In this new season Dr. Keim will take parents through things like teething, colic, constipation, and allergies. This first episode explores what types of modalities are available, from Western medicine to acupuncture to naturopathy and more. In visiting alternative practitioners, interviewing them, and going through the research, Dr. Keim has learned how many things are available to parents to help children feel better when they're ill. Western medicine, our traditional medical system in the US, has great advantages but is not always the best at improving quality of life. So Carole explains the options for a multifaceted approach, what to look for, and how each can help children thrive. In this episode:Why CAM? 00:26Many modalities of healthcare Western medicine does a lot of things well, but nobody does everything the bestKids under age 3 can't take most OTC medications, but still suffer from many ailmentsA multifaceted approach is often the best oneTreat symptoms and underlying disease at the same timeImportant to know which ones might interfere with others, and what's safe for babiesWriting HMH to help parents through this time; let you know what's safe, what will actually help Stay tuned because this season we will cover teething, colic, constipation, allergies, and morePractitionersWesternChiropractic AcupunctureNutritionMassageHomeopathyAromatherapyNaturopathy These are in the Holistic Mamas HandbookThe most common ones used in the US are chiropractic, acupuncture, homeopathy, and naturopathyWestern med 02:03Philosophy: Body = collection of independent systems. Treat the underlying cause when possible. Prolong life. Tools: Physical examination, lab testing, imaging, medications whose direct action is well understood Training: 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, 3-5 years of residency, additional years of fellowship to subspecializeHow to spot a good one: MD or DO, open minded, offers more than one solution, works with you on the treatment plan Acupuncture 04:19Philosophy: stimulating points along specific channels can affect nerves and muscles, releases chemicals into the bloodstream, and triggers the body's natural healing mechanisms to bring about homeostasis. Shonishin dates back to the late 1600s Tools: shonishin is the technique used for children - observe the child, ask questions, feel pulses, and treat. Blunt tools are used to stroke, tap, and press on the points. Should be painless and not scary. Sometimes also use cupping and/or indirect moxibustion. Moxa is made from mugwort. Training: 4 years of college, plus 3 years of acupuncture school for LAc, 4 years for DACM. How to spot a good one: certified in shonishin, has pediatric experience, DACM vs LAc.Chiropractic 07:21Philosophy: body has an innate ability to heal itself. Nerves control everything, and pressure on those nerves from bones being out of alignment causes dysfunction. Tools: adjustments - manual, clicker, drop table vs flatTraining: 3-4 years undergrad, 3-4 years of chiropractic school, earn DC How to spot a good one: Webster certified, icpa4kids.com, gentle, listens to the childNaturopathy 09:40Philosophy: the body has the inherent nature to heal itself, the whole person is treated (mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, and social components), first do no harm, identify and treat the cause (not just the symptoms), prevention is the best cure, and the ND is a teacher whose main role is to educate, empower, and motivate patients to take responsibility of their own healthTools: nutrition, homeopathy, herbal remedies, hydrotherapy, massage, fascial manipulation, acupuncture, fasting, breathing. Since naturopathy is so broad, few studies have been done on it as a discipline, but there are many studies about the specific techniques used. Training: 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of ND school. Curriculum includes many of the same classes as western medical doctors, but less pharmacology and more training on herbal and alternative remedies and modalities.How to spot a good one: certified by AANMC, knows when to refer to western medicine for pharmacologic interventions Homeopathy 12:54Philosophy: like cures like, and the more dilute a preparation is, the stronger it is. Tools: observation of a person's constitution, remedies that are made from an herb or pathogen and are diluted until no longer detectable and made into pellets with sugar Training: 2-4 years undergrad, 3-4 years homeopathic school How to spot a good one: CCH = certified classical homeopath Essential oils / Aromatherapy 15:05Philosophy: strengthen the self-healing process by stimulating the immune system. Inhaled scent molecules travel along the olfactory nerves to the amygdala (emotional center of the brain)Tools: essential oils are extracted by steam distillation or cold pressing. Oils are either inhaled, ingested, or applied topically. Children should not ingest essential oils because they're not regulated and very concentrated. If you're using them on your child's skin, always use a carrier oil to dilute them so they don't get irritation or a chemical burn. Training: none requiredHow to spot a good one: someone with a range of experience who isn't tied to one brand in particular. Good oils will come in dark glass bottles, will list the plant name in latin, and won't have other chemicals added. Dr. Keim has extensively researched the information presented in this episode. Her insight and knowledge on alternative and holistic treatments come together in her new book, Holistic Mamas Handbook, launching on November 15, 2023. Pre-orders are available here. Her book, The Baby Manual, covers the first year of baby life and is the subject of the first two seasons of this podcast.

Well, we've been gone for two months but we're back! And if you thought that this stupid comic strip wasn't still stupid, boy, are you in for a rude awakening! All the same old shit is still there: turtlenecks, Dutch angles, references to starlets of the '30s and '40s, no backgrounds, the McEldowney ellipsis! Oh, how did we survive all these weeks without these? Anyway, this stupid storyline is about Juliette and her boyfriend Elliott, whom everyone hates. (Including us!) One version of this story would be to say that he shows up to propose to her and ends up in the hospital. But it's all so fucking convoluted and the story changes with each new development. At first, Juliette is pretty confident that Elliott might pop the question, but she's not certain, so she wears a sexy dress to help him "pop." But later we discover that he proposes to her on a weekly basis. Then, we find out that the minute Elliott walked through the door, he inhaled a cough drop and needed medical attention. But later, we're told that he didn't inhale the cough drop until after she said yes. But even later, we're told that her dress caused him to have "an episode." And a doctor tells us that he inhaled a cough drop but then had an arrhythmia. Anyway, none of it makes any sense, especially the part where Elliott ends up in the ICU for more than a day. To confuse things even more, Brooke and Jeff talk about the ICU like it's the Emergency Room. But then again, that seems to be interchangeable with Brooke Mac-El-Dee as well. Later, a cat motorboats Juliette's boobs. And in the end, no one really gives a shit about what happened to Elliott because they're too busy talking about Juliette's dress. Spoiler alert: She's the sexiest person in the ICU and she loves it! The Chickweed strips we discuss this episode: Edda and Juliette mention Jean Harlow, Juliette promises to make Elliott "pop," Elliott chokes on his cough drop, and a doctor stares at Juliette's boobs are here (https://x.com/9chickweedRAGE/status/1710366406557220951?s=20). The "lethal, shrink-wrap, halter-top gown," Edda getting mad because her gay roommate thinks her mom is sexier, and Juliette looking hot (and enjoying it) in the ICU are here (https://x.com/9chickweedRAGE/status/1710366408151056421?s=20). A cat motorboats Juliette's boobs, Amos talks about his fetid corpse, and Elliott somehow on his deathbed are here (https://x.com/9chickweedRAGE/status/1710366410550190305?s=20). This lethal, shrink-wrapped episode includes: Dive, Dove, Doven? Phones, both corded and cordless Auntie Mame Turtlenecks! Jean Harlow Fisher-Price Little People (https://shop.mattel.com/collections/little-people) Dutch Angles!

Ok, now that you've secured the airway, you've got to turn on the gas! This episode talks about volatile anesthetics and their effect on patients during the operation.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a rare and progressive condition characterized by high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs due to their narrowing or a blockage. This causes the heart to work harder to pump blood and leads to heart failure, the need for lung transplantation, and death. Aerami is developing an inhaled form of the targeted cancer therapy imatinib as a treatment for PAH. We spoke to Josh Ziel, chief operating officer and interim CEO of Aerami, about pulmonary arterial hypertension, the company's experimental therapy to treat the condition, and its efforts to build a pipeline of therapies that make use of its proprietary inhalation technology.
In today's episode we discuss commonly used IV induction agents, their mechanisms of action and also their associated adverse effects. We discuss the specific characteristics of inhaled anesthetics and dive into the details of why they work, and things to consider when administering to your patient.

Bar-headed Geese, champions of high-altitude migration, leave their nesting grounds in Tibet and scale the Himalayan range on their way to wintering grounds in the lowlands of India. How do they do it? These geese have a breathing structure that extracts oxygen from thin air, even at 30,000 feet. Inhaled air passes through the lungs and is temporarily stored in several sacs, then circulated back through the lungs. The capillaries in their breast muscles are more numerous than in other birds, providing the muscles with a greater supply of oxygen.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

On this episode of the podcast, I cover budesonide (Pulmicort) pharmacology. Our sponsor (Pyrls.com/rlp) for this episode is providing a FREE PDF of their inhaled corticosteroid categorizations chart (i.e. low/medium/high dose ICS) when you sign up for a free account! The onset of action of inhaled budesonide is several hours up to a few days. Patient education is critical to ensure that patients stick with its use. Budesonide does have a nebulized formulation that is often used in pediatrics and geriatrics. There aren't a ton of critical drug interactions, but you should think about medications that inhibit CYP3A4 and may have additive immunosuppressive effects.
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… Jennifer: Hi Dr. Cabral! I got "the virus" in March 2021 and again in January 2022. I am a healthy 44 woman. For some reason each time the virus affected my heart rate. It gives me the feeling like my heart is beating very fast and makes me feel anxious or gives me a feeling like I drank too much coffee (when I only drink 1 cup a day). Last year I had my heart checked and everything was normal. It went away after I received the v last year but I really don't want to get a b shot this year. Any other ways to stop my heart from beating so fast? My vitamin A and C levels are low, B levels are high. Blood pressure is sometimes low but usually around 100 over 70. Thank you for your help. I love listening to your podcasts. Allen: Hello Dr. Cabral, I have done the HTMA lab in the past. I did have some aluminum levels and vitamin deficiencies in my hair samples. I have since taken supplements to fix those vitamin deficiencies. I recognize now that I should have done a heavy metals detox right away, however I was in the middle of trying to conceive and did not wish to interrupt that and I know it's not safe to do while trying to conceive. So I never completed a heavy metals detox. I eat a balanced diet, I'm a healthy weight, I complete a few liver detoxes each year, I workout 4-5 days a week with a mix of sauna, weights, and cardio, I use the sauna sometimes as well. I was wondering, aren't I naturally detoxing heavy metals and other toxins from my body very regularly while sweating and eating foods that support the natural detox process? I know that the supplements in the heavy metal detox assist with the detoxification process, but I'm wondering how much I am naturally able to detox on my own simply by living a healthy lifestyle. I know the research supports that the supplements that come with the heavy metal detox work. Are there other ways to remove heavy metal toxins? Thank you for answering my questions! Kelly: Hello Dr. Cabral! Thank you so much for your podcast and book. You are a true blessing to people like myself seeking optimum wellness and disease prevention! I am a relatively healthy 35 year old female with a have a strange question- My husband and I had Cin October. Prior to our infection with C, I had suffered for about three years with unexplained shortness of breath. I tried endlessly to get to the bottom of what was causing this sudden onset shortness of breath. I did diaphragm exercises, I took iron supplements, I increase my aerobic exercise, I tried adaptogens and stress relieving herbs like lavender, I did counseling and meditation… The shortness of breath came out of the blue in my early 30s and magically disappeared when I fully recovered from C (which took about two week). The only explanation I have is that while I had C I would inhale steam with essential oils like Teatree oil and grapefruit seed extract and another germ fighting blend. I'm curious about your thoughts on whether my long term shortness of breath could have been attributed to some bacteria or fungus in my lungs that was inadvertently wiped out as I treated my C symptoms with gentle steam inhalation with essential oils. I am baffled at how this chronic condition could vanish! Oren: Hi, I'm a 20 years old female. I can't remember a time in my life when I wasn't chubby. I'm not immensely overweight, I weigh about 70kg at 1.71m. I've done strict keto for months, combined with omad/intermittent fasting a few times a week, and I also train BJJ 4 times a week. Now starting carnivore. I eat about 1300-1700 calories a day, depending on my hunger. My body won't respond to any of that except for helping with bloating. Measurements and compositions stayed the same for a year of trying these things and I don't really know what to do anymore. I took the body ype quite, and my answers were almost dispersed equally between the different body types, with a small favor for the Vatta and Pitta types, except for the fact that I gain weight easily and can't seem to lose it from my thighs and belly no matter what I do. I'm kinda desperate so I'd love some help, thank you :) Anonymous: Hi dr. Cabral! Hope you are doing well and hope you can help point me in the direction TO get well :)! I experience chronic runny nose upon waking in the morning or after laying down for a long period of time. It stops running a couple hours after being awake and sometimes comes back in the evening. I also have extreme sugar (mainly chocolate) cravings, nocturia, mood swings, acne (mainly around jaw/chin) and foul gas (no bloating). My candida metabolic vitamins test showed no microbial overgrowth, below the mean for all neurotransmitter metabolites and slightly elevated orotic acid. If I have no bacterial overgrowth where is the gas coming from? And why won't my nose stop running (lol)! Do I need to run additional FM labs to figure this out? Thank you in advance for all your advice & recommendations!!! Summer: Hey Doc! On day 14 of a 21 day detox and day 14 of CBO as well. 32 year old female hypothyroidism and gut disbiosis confirmed with testing.I have actually lost some stubborn lbs that I haven't been able to budge in years so grateful for that! I'm concerned that it's because I'm starving… been eating clean for 5-6 years. I can't tolerate any of the plant proteins so have had to add salmon and a little wild game into my lunches. I used to survive on mainly fats especially nuts and eggs. I'm really struggling to get over 1,000 calories and hit my macros. Really missing my hearty breakfast. Worried about causing further damage to my thyroid and adrenals. I seem to now be intolerant of my normal exercise as well. Exercise in the morning is out of the question. My stomach is ALWAYS gurgling (not hunger pains) just noisy. Terrible gas and bloating for the last 9 days. I think that may be due to all the extra veggies I've added. I cook everything to help digestion, I use Canadian bitters before meals, chewing everything to a liquid, gut massage, and ginger and peppermint teas. Is my digestion actually getting worse? Should I just power through?That's what I'm doing, but would like to hear your thoughts even if it's 7 weeks out! Support group had some suggestions but not satisfactory. thx!
