Dr. Laura welcomes Dr. Esther Sternberg, M.D., a Professor, Research Director, Speaker, and Author of the books Well at Work, Healing Spaces, and The Balance Within, to the podcast to talk about wellness at work and how workplace environments impact employees. Dr. Sternberg shares her career journey from her start in medical family practice through to becoming the Research Director at the Andrew Weil Center of Integrative Medicine. She and Dr. Laura talk about what factors impact health and overall wellness at work and how these can be improved.Dr. Sternberg delves into the insights in her book Well at Work and explains the seven domains of integrative health as defined by the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine. Sleep, resilience, environment, movement, relationships, spirituality, and nutrition are the seven domains, and they include things like how quickly we bounce back from stress, how clean our air is, and access to nature. Dr. Laura and Dr. Sternberg examine how office design, environmental location, common spaces that encourage relationships, and even temperature all play a key role in our workplace health. The conversation sheds light on how work isn't simply a place to invest time into productivity, but can positively or negatively impact our overall lives, and how redefining workplaces is a vital part of future discussions. “... if you're feeling too stressed or too activated, you want to do something that will tone down that stress response so you can perform at peak... If you're too stressed, you freeze, you're unable to focus. You're unable to do the job, the task at hand. So what helps you to move that stress response from the extreme danger zone back to performing at peak is places where you can go offline a little bit, where you can effectively meditate even though you're not sitting there with crossed legs in a lotus position in a yoga studio, although having spaces where some people can do that is is also beneficial. But a space, for example, [like] the gardens. To just walk in the gardens, to just take your brain off the computer for a while and focus on the green, on the plants.” - Dr. Esther SternbergAbout Dr. Esther Sternberg, M.D.:Dr. Esther Sternberg is internationally recognized for her discoveries in the science of the mind-body interaction in illness and healing, and the role of place in wellbeing.

This episode of Integrative You Radio dives deep into the real root causes of lactose intolerance, debunking the common myths about genetics and focusing on the body-mind connection. Dr. Nicole Rivera and Dr. Nikki Rizzo break down why gallbladder and liver health are at the core of lactose intolerance, and why it's not just about what runs in your family. The conversation also explores how micro and macro life stressors, emotional expression, and daily choices all impact your physical health—and how true healing is possible when you address both the physical and emotional layers. #IntegrativeHealth #LactoseIntolerance #GallbladderHealth #LiverDetox #FunctionalMedicine #MindBodyConnection #EmotionalHealing #HolisticWellness #IntegrativeYouRadio #RootCauseHealing 3 Key Takeaways: Lactose intolerance is rarely “just genetics.” It's often a sign of underlying gallbladder dysfunction and liver overload—usually from years of accumulated toxins, not just your DNA. Your emotional health is directly tied to your physical health.Micro-stresses (like tolerating a toxic boss or relationship) and macro traumas both affect your gallbladder and liver, impacting your body's ability to process foods like dairy. Symptoms can be part of healing, not just a problem.Discomfort during detox or emotional breakthroughs is often your body's way of resolving old wounds—so don't panic, get curious, and seek support if you need it. Quotes: “Lactose intolerance stems from gallbladder dysfunction… If you can't break down lactose, it's because your gallbladder is not working properly. It's not just your genes.” “Sometimes symptoms are the body's cry for help, and sometimes they're part of the resolution. The key is knowing the difference—and not giving up on yourself.” Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube Apple Spotify 2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

This episode of Integrative You Radio dives into the real reasons kids “rebel” and push back against their parents. Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick get raw about their own childhoods, family dynamics, and how generational patterns, energy, and authenticity shape the way kids behave. They break down why walking your talk as a parent is everything, and why communication, vulnerability, and self-awareness are the keys to raising empowered, connected kids (and healing yourself along the way). #ConsciousParenting #GenerationalHealing #FamilyDynamics #AuthenticParenting #ParentingPodcast #IntegrativeYou #WalkYourTalk #ParentingTips #MindfulParenting #FamilyLegacy 3 Key Takeaways: Kids See Through Everything: Children are hyper-aware and pick up on energy, not just words. If you're not walking your talk, they'll call you on it—consciously or not. Connection Over Control: The “why” matters. When kids act out, they usually crave understanding, not just rules. Explaining, connecting, and meeting them at their level (even with dinosaurs!) is a game-changer. Heal Yourself, Heal Your Family: The biggest impact you can make as a parent is showing up as your best, most authentic self. Accountability, vulnerability, and self-reflection create a ripple effect through your kids and even your lineage. Quotes: “It's not about what you say, it's about what you do—and it's about your energy. Kids can feel the tension, even if you think you're hiding it.” “You can only really be in control of yourself. If you show up differently, you create the biggest impact on your children—period.” Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube Apple Spotify 2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Felice Gersh, one of the foremost voices in functional medicine and women's health, to tackle one of the most misunderstood phases of life—menopause. Together, we unpack the real physiological changes women face during this transition, and the often-overlooked health risks that come with it. This isn't just about “hot flashes”—we're talking sleep disruption, cardiovascular risk, insulin resistance, and the metabolic shifts that can alter a woman's long-term health trajectory. Dr. Gersh pulls back the curtain on estradiol, reframing it as a life hormone—not simply a “sex hormone.” We explore why its decline affects nearly every system in the body, and how lifestyle strategies, functional medicine insights, and targeted interventions can help women not just survive menopause, but thrive through it. Whether you're in the midst of this change or helping patients navigate it, this conversation delivers the clarity, science, and hope you need to take control of health during this critical stage of life.Key Takeaways: Hormonal Shift: Menopause leads to a decline in estradiol produced by ovaries, affecting every organ system and increasing health condition risks, including cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. Holistic Understanding: Dr. Gersh advocates for a comprehensive understanding of hormones in menopause, emphasizing the necessity of a proactive rather than reactive treatment approach. Testing and Diagnosis: She outlines important blood tests and diagnostic markers, such as day 3 FSH, thyroid function, inflammatory markers, and lipid profiles to better navigate menopause management. Lifestyle Interventions: Key lifestyle changes, including diet rich in plants, exercise, and stress management, are essential in promoting well-being during and beyond menopause. Functional Medicine Approach: Understanding the interconnectedness of bodily systems and the foundational role of lifestyle and hormonal therapy in women's health is crucial.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Ramona Wallace.
For many, integrative medicine has become an unattainable luxury, and healthy diet and lifestyle the prerogative of the privileged. Today's guest, Dr. Ramona Wallace, is attempting to change that. Trained conventionally as a DO, she undertook additional training and certification via the Institute for Functional Medicine to broaden her clinical skills. She practices primary care in an underserved community in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where she incorporates diet and lifestyle recommendations to address her patients' chronic conditions. Careful nutritional assessment has revealed that many of her patients, while overtly overweight, are decidedly malnourished. She has documented a wide range of deficiencies—of B vitamins, vitamins A, C, and D, critical minerals like zinc and magnesium, even full-blown scurvy. These are precisely the patients who are most likely to benefit from nutritional support. Discovering obstacles to compliance is a key element to effect their health transformations. Dr. Wallace believes that individualized care is the key to reversing long-standing health conditions. She mentors medical students in the first-of-its-kind Functional Medicine program at a medical school. She has also co-authored a landmark paper arguing for wellness self-care by doctors, to stave off burnout and to help them be better role models for patients.
