Take a deep breath and refocus on total well-being — body, mind, and spirit. As summer winds down and back-to-school stress ramps up, many of us feel a little “off.” Our energy dips, moods shift, and stress levels climb. But what if the key to feeling better isn't just about food, sleep, or supplements — but about your energy field?Integrative pharmacist Dr. Swathi Varanasi-Diaz calls it Quantum Ayurveda — the meeting point of ancient Ayurvedic wisdom and modern energy science. She explains that every person has a measurable aura, an electromagnetic field created by your body's biological processes. “It's not mystical,” she says. “Your aura is your body's unique energy signature — like a fingerprint that reflects your physical, mental, and emotional state.”When your energy field is strong and balanced, your body adapts more easily to stress and heals more efficiently. But when that energy is scattered or low, it can be an early signal of burnout or imbalance — long before symptoms appear.The future of wellness, according to Dr. Varanasi-Diaz, lies in energy-tuned nutrition. Companies like Greenspace Herbs are pioneering research into “Quantum Ayurveda,” using technology to align herbal formulas with human energy patterns. These energy-tuned supplements may help the body recognize and absorb nutrients faster — potentially leading to better results with smaller doses.Until that technology becomes mainstream, you can start “retuning” your energy every day. Move your body, breathe deeply, spend time in nature, and take quiet moments to recharge. These simple habits act like daily tune-ups — helping your body, mind, and energy stay in sync.After all, wellness isn't just about what you take in — it's about how you vibrate through life.

On this article-read episode, we spotlight the University of Arkansas's new Institute for Integrative & Innovative Research (I³R)—a 144,000-sq-ft hub designed by HGA (with Hufft) to accelerate convergent research and regional economic development. Published on August 27, 2025, on the interiors+sources website, the piece explores how a mass-timber pavilion, biophilic strategies, and a flexible lab chassis support cross-disciplinary work in FoodTech, HealthTech, and CyberTech. Tune in to hear why this project matters for designers: the building ties architectural choices to measurable collaboration, talent attraction, and community impact—offering a blueprint for research environments that are as people-centric as they are technically advanced.
This episode highlights a project close to my heart: the Ability, Not Age paper — a collaborative effort by the Ability, Not Age Task Force, a team I brought together through what's now known as Agents of Movement. Our goal was to challenge ageism in fitness and wellness by rethinking how we label and design programs for older adults.Too often, classes are defined by age — “Senior Fitness,” “Silver Yoga,” “Older Adult Strength” instead of by ability or interest. We wanted to flip that script and focus on what people can do and want from their movement experiences, regardless of their age.The result was the Ability, Not Age paper, portions of which were published by the American Society on Aging , soon to be published in the Journal on Active Aging. Our work also earned the Mather Institute Promising Practices Award, a recognition for innovative approaches to serving older adults.In this episode, you'll hear from several of the writers who helped bring the paper to life. We'll explore how the idea emerged, what it represents for the future of our field, and how we can all contribute to creating more inclusive, ability-centered movement spaces.If you'd like to stay connected or join future conversations like this one, visit agentsofmovement.com or subscribe to the newsletter for updates on events and upcoming discussions.Listen to past podcast interviews with the authors:Jojo McDuffie: The Impact of Rock Steady Boxing on Parkinson'sCheryl Whitelaw: Unlocking Lifelong MovementPatricia Linderman: Fierce After 45Jen Winters: From Nursing to Integrative and Functional NutritionHolly Benson: Medical Exercise SpecialistLaura Dow: Mind Your Movement
Medicine is evolving faster than ever, but so are the challenges of misinformation and fragmented healthcare communication. In this episode, I sit down with Jonathan Marx, a luminary in the realm of healthcare marketing and media, to discuss how evidence-based medicine can reclaim its central role in a system too often driven by trends and profit. Drawing from his experience in medical communications and media, Marx shares his mission to bridge the gap between science and public understanding through credible, accessible education. We dive into the growing influence of AI in organizing medical data, the balance between conventional and alternative medicine, and why funding gaps still hinder progress on unpatented yet promising treatments. This conversation is a call to elevate medical literacy, strengthen trust in data-driven care, and empower both practitioners and patients with the knowledge needed to make informed health decisions. Key Takeaways: Evidence-based medicine is critical in distinguishing fact from misinformation within healthcare, utilizing clinical trials and AI for reliable results. Alternative healthcare, often misconstrued, holds historical significance and merits further supportive research and acknowledgment alongside conventional medicine. Successful healthcare communication demands repetition across multiple media, catering to the varied learning styles and frequencies needed for information retention. Integrative healthcare, encompassing a range of practices from traditional to alternative medicine, provides a holistic approach to patient care. Relationships and trust with healthcare providers are paramount, urging patients to evaluate their choices based on evidence-backed practices and diverse professional insights.

“True healing happens when medicine honors both evidence and intuition — when we use science to guide us, and humanity to connect us.” —Dr. Lise AlschulerIn this episode of the Real Health Podcast, Dr. Ron Hunninghake sits down with Dr. Lise Alschuler, a leading naturopathic oncologist, educator, and author who has spent more than three decades advancing integrative approaches to cancer care.

She discusses the importance of terrain-based care, personalized nutrition, and the role of natural agents like medicinal mushrooms in complementing conventional therapies. She invites us to preserve compassion, connection, and curiosity as medicine grows more data-driven and digitally advanced.

Love the episode? Send us a text!Today's episode is going to challenge how you think about treatment. What if cancer care wasn't one-size-fits-all? What if every decision — from the drugs you take to the supplements you choose — was tailored to your own biology?My guest, Dr. John Oertle, Chief Medical Director at Envita Medical Centers, has spent over 25 years pioneering a truly personalized, integrative approach that merges precision oncology, functional medicine, and technology.We'll explore why some people respond to treatment while others don't, what circulating tumor DNA can tell us about recurrence, and how understanding environmental toxins and genetics can literally change your odds.
In this episode, we reflect on the deeply moving documentary White Nanny, Black Child (2023), which explores Britain's “farming” system — a practice through which over 70,000 West African children were fostered by white British families between 1955 and 1995.Through the voices of nine adults who reunite to share their experiences, the film opens up tender and painful reflections on identity, belonging, and survival. We listen to the echoes of care and silence that continue to shape lives long after childhood — and we explore how systems of care can become systems of control when infused with colonial legacies and racialised assumptions.We speak with Micheal Henry, the systemic therapist who facilitated the Tree of Life work featured in the film. Himself care-experienced, he shares his personal and professional reflections on holding space for these stories — the tensions of being both witness and participant — and the power of collective narrative practices in reconnecting people with identity, community, and pride.Together, we consider what this story teaches us about how care systems remember, forget, and repair. How do we, as systemic practitioners, listen to what was once unspeakable? How do we make space for histories that live inside the present? And what might healing look like — for individuals, families, and the systems that raised them?An invitation to think, feel, and reflect systemically on survival, silence, and the enduring search for belonging.Film Reference:White Nanny Black Child. Directed by Andy Mundy-Castle, Doc Hearts and Tigerlily Productions, Channel 5, 2023.Micheal Henry Bio:Michael Henry, is an African-centred Systemic Family and Couples Psychotherapist based in North London.

Is our medical system truly designed to keep us healthy… or just to treat us when we're sick? Personally, I'm going through a fertility journey, my husband is dealing with ongoing health challenges, and we've both hit wall after wall trying to find real answers in traditional care. If you've ever felt dismissed by a doctor, told your labs are “normal” when you know something's off, or can't get ahead of autoimmune issues and hormone imbalances before they snowball into bigger problems, this conversation will open your eyes.

Send us a textToday, I'm joined by Dr. William LaValley — one of the world's leading researchers and medical doctors in the field of integrative cancer treatment.Dr. LaValley has spent decades combining the latest discoveries in molecular biology with evidence-based, integrative therapies for cancer. He draws upon the vast database of research available through PubMed to identify the anti-cancer potential of natural compounds and repurposed, or off-label, pharmaceutical drugs.Since earning his M.D. in 1986, Dr. LaValley has developed sophisticated, evidence-driven databases mapping the molecular pathways of cancer. These insights have allowed him to design personalized treatment protocols that complement — rather than replace — conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy.In this episode, we'll discuss how understanding molecular biology helps identify new targets for treatment, how repurposed drugs can work synergistically with standard therapies, and what the future of integrative oncology looks like.You can find him at:www.Lavalleymdprotocols.com#IntegrativeOncology #CancerResearch #MolecularMedicine #RepurposedDrugs #FunctionalMedicine #CancerTreatment #FitRxPodcast

Puberty often begins earlier than most parents expect and shows up in subtle, easily missed ways. In this episode, we speak with bestselling author and pediatrician Dr. Cara Natterson to demystify the emotional, social, and physical changes boys go through during puberty. We discuss what early signs to watch for, why silence is often mistaken for disconnection, and how to keep communication open even when your child begins pulling away. You'll learn what puberty really looks like (hint: it doesn't start with facial hair), how hormones affect boys differently than girls, and what parents can do to build trust, connection, and confidence through this critical phase. Dr. Cara offers practical strategies for discussing sensitive topics, such as body changes, screen use, and emotional outbursts, without awkwardness or shame.

In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Dr. Carol Haddad, integrative oncologist and founder of Integrative Cancer Care Australia (ICCA), to explore a powerful truth: the patient is the creator of their own medicine. We talk about cancer as a catalyst, the evolving role of integrative care, and the importance of love as the medicine - not romantic love, but the consciousness of love that transforms the healing journey. Together, we reflect on the paradox of will and surrender, the unseen power of bedside manner as energetic transmission, and a beautiful new concept: remission of the mind where the mind learns to live in harmony with a healed body. This conversation is for those navigating cancer, their loved ones, and the medical professionals ready to hear a new paradigm in healing. May it ripple out as medicine you didn't know you were seeking.

In this episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick share an unfiltered look at their recent journey supporting Dr. Nicole's mother after a hemorrhagic stroke. They break down the limitations they witnessed in conventional rehab, and open up about the integrative, unconventional approaches they've used to accelerate healing—blending neuroscience, mindset, nutrition, and innovative therapies. The duo offers hope, practical strategies, and a call to rethink what's possible in stroke recovery, all while keeping it real about the emotional rollercoaster and the power of advocacy. #IntegrativeMedicine #StrokeRecovery #NeuroRehab #BrainBodyConnection #HolisticHealth #FunctionalMedicine #Inflammation #MindsetMatters #RedLightTherapy #PEMF #HealthAdvocacy #WellnessPodcast #IntegrativeYou 3 Key Takeaways: Conventional stroke rehab is often missing true neurological healing: Most hospital and rehab settings focus on basic movement rather than reconnecting the brain and body. There's little emphasis on stimulating neuroplasticity or addressing the root mind-body disconnect. Integrative, at-home strategies can make a massive difference: From red light therapy and PEMF devices to simple, free tools like breathwork, visualization, and sensory stimulation, there are many ways to support recovery and brain-body reconnection outside the hospital setting. Reducing inflammation is foundational: Addressing cardiovascular health, cutting inflammatory foods, and leveraging targeted supplements (like quality omega-3s, garlic, and greens) are non-negotiable for both brain and body healing post-stroke. Quotes: “This is about rehabilitating the brain's connection to the body, the body's connection to the brain. If you take that out of the equation, you're just treating symptoms.” “The body is very smart, very resilient, and anything is possible with the right integrative interventions.” Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube Apple Spotify 2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

MORNING RALLY LAUNCH. Access the morning ritual with 50% OFF using CODE PODCAST: https://thisisdailydevotion.com/morning-rally-challenge This episode is for the ambitious, always-on, autoimmune girl who's quietly wondering why her body keeps waving the red flag through annoying or unexplainable symptoms. Today I'm joined by Integrative and Quantum Health Expert Sarah Murphy as we unpack the rise in autoimmunity among busy Type A women and connect the dots between stress chemistry, nonstop “busy-ness” (and business), early nervous system imprinting, fascia, hormones, histamine, blood sugar and facial hair too (lol) plus, why “pushing through” never helps heal. We discuss the real timeline of autoimmunity (starting before birth), how both parents imprint into this experience, and how early attachment patterns exacerbate it. From there, we explore blood sugar dysregulation, MCAS, histamine, PCOS, thyroid issues, and estrogen dominance, and why these common struggles compound the problem in women who really love to do it all (or who have gone through significant stress in their life). We break down why protocols often fail, the ‘good girl' script, the powerful connection between the thyroid and self-expression, and how to actually begin healing (hint: it starts with moving your body) and you'll hear why your body isn't attacking you - it's confused - and where to start with rebuilding energy systems, restoring minerals, supporting mitochondria, and more.
Early airway health can shape your child's long-term development more than you think.

We explore how structural oral issues like crowded teeth, mouth breathing and tongue posture can influence sleep, behavior and even facial development. Caity explains the difference between fixed and removable expanders, how to know if your child is a candidate and the importance of early assessment. We also talk about what to expect during treatment, how bodywork supports the process and why nasal breathing is a key to lifelong health. This conversation is packed with empowering insights for parents who want to be proactive, not reactive, when it comes to their child's oral and airway development. Whether you're concerned about snoring, teeth grinding or just want to get ahead of orthodontic issues, this episode will guide you with clarity, confidence and compassion.

Her goal as a therapist is to bridge the gap between oral and systemic health with a focus on nasal breathing, tongue posture, correct swallow and lip seal.

Unleashing ADHD as a Superpower with Dia Schwarz Noot.us About the Guest(s): Dia Schwarz is a renowned expert in neuroscience and integrative medicine, with a specialization in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). As a practitioner and a mother living with ADHD traits, Dia offers a unique perspective on how to manage and empower those with this condition. Her career is marked by a passion for revolutionizing the supplemental health industry through her work with Noots, a mindful and bold supplement brand focused on clean, no-filler products rooted in nature and supported by scientific research. Episode Summary: In this engaging episode of The Chris Voss Show, host Chris Voss invites Dia Schwarz to explore the oft-misunderstood world of ADHD in adults and children. Dia, a neuroscience and integrative medicine expert, sheds light on why ADHD is not just a children's disorder, but a prevalent and frequently undiagnosed condition in adults. By highlighting the unique neurological wiring of individuals with ADHD, she emphasizes the potential of ADHD as a superpower rather than a disability and discusses healthy, integrative approaches to managing symptoms without relying on traditional medications. The conversation delves into how ADHD presents challenges like anxiety, burnout, and relationship struggles due to symptoms such as time blindness and heightened sensitivity. Dia stresses the importance of not "patching symptoms" with medication alone, advocating instead for comprehensive health strategies involving sleep, nutrition, stress regulation, and supplements. Her company, Noots, offers a range of products designed to support people living with ADHD and other health challenges naturally, promoting an understanding of individual biology and integrating mental health into daily life. Key Takeaways: ADHD is not merely a childhood condition; millions of adults live with undiagnosed ADHD, often mistaking their symptoms for depression or burnout. Recognizing ADHD as a different operating system in the brain is crucial; it is not a sign of being broken or lacking discipline. Integrative approaches, including clean supplements and lifestyle changes, can transform ADHD into a superpower by enhancing focus and creativity. Medication should be used cautiously, serving as a bridge—allowing individuals to explore natural tools and ultimately avoid long-term reliance. The impact of ADHD on relationships and daily life emphasizes the need for awareness and strategies beyond traditional treatments. Notable Quotes: "Diagnosis says you have a sickness; I treat it as a superpower." "ADHD is linked to dopamine differences; it's not about lack of discipline." "Medication should be a bridge, not a cage." "ADHD in adults is like driving a Ferrari with bicycle brakes." "Stop believing you're broken. ADHD is a different operating system."

In this episode, I speak with Nigel about his work with Integrative Attachment Therapy (IAT). He discusses how his studies with Dan Siegel, M.D. and his meditation training in the Tibet Bon Dzongchen, led him to be very interested in what is a “mind”, how it works, what its about, and how ti develops. He discussed how attachment is the basis for the development of the mind, which we create "bottom up in our relation to others. He explained that the key developmental processes for the mind include attachment, care and nurturance, social rank, sexual identify and safety. He said that the novel part of the work that Daniel Brown, Ph.D., the coauthor of Attachment Disturbances in Adults: Treatment for Comprehensive Repair, was using an ideal parental figure to repair what had or had not been established in development. Nigel talks about the three pillars of IAT, where the therapist and client are collaborating on the work they're doing together at the beginning of the session, doing the imaginal intervention of the ideal attachment figure, and then using metallization to process the experience and gain new awareness. He explained that they are helping a client to connect with the felt experience of feeling safe, seen, being able to trust and other elements of experiencing a secure attachment with this imagined parental figure. He shared that the conditions for a secure attachment include embodied trust, felt safety, being good enough, that its ok to explore, being able to down regulate the nervous system, and knowing your a good person. He spoke about how transference is encouraged to be shared directly with the therapist, and discussed using metallization, rather than using the therapist to provoke transference and letting it build up and then be worked through. We also discussed his work with psychedelics and its ability to help clients to integrate experiences in a different interpretive map. Nigel Denning, M.Psych, MA is a Counselling Psychologist and Director of Integrative Psychology and Medicine in Melbourne, Australia. Nigel is Research Fellow at Australian National University. Nigel has been involved in developing the Three Pillars of Attachment Repair and Integrative Attachment Therapy with David Elliott and Traill Dowie and developing the IAT Training Program. Nigel is a nationally recognized expert in family violence, institutional abuse, trauma and attachment-focused practice. Nigel is also clinical lead in several psychedelic medicine trials and a trainer in psychedelics and holotropic breathwork, having studied under Stanislav Grof. In addition, Nigel is a long-term meditation practitioner and teacher in the Tibet Bon Dzogchen tradition. Nigel has a profound understanding of how Eastern practices affect the mind and their subsequent connection to psychotherapy. Nigel is a jovial and kind person who is passionate about improving the world one mind at a time.

The conversation dives deep into understanding the transformative benefits of functional medicine, highlighting its growing importance in treating complex conditions like mold-related illnesses and chronic infections. The episode gives helpful information about the nuances of functional medicine, offering listeners an in-depth understanding of how this approach empowers patients to move beyond traditional symptom management to uncover root causes of health issues. Through inspiring patient success stories, Dr. McCann illustrates the profound, life-changing impact of integrating mind, body, and spirit in healthcare. The dialogue serves as an educational resource for those seeking to understand the distinctions and advantages of functional medicine, emphasizing a collaborative journey with healthcare providers toward achieving vibrant health.

Conventional medicine often lacks the tools and approach to ask "why" regarding chronic conditions, leading to misdiagnoses or a lack of solutions. The journey to optimal health involves small, incremental changes across diet, lifestyle, and mindset. Intuition and self-awareness play critical roles in personal health management, with emphasis on proactive rather than reactive care. Integrative approaches, combining both conventional and holistic methods, can lead to improved, sustainable wellness.
