Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede, author of "Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind: A Powerful Plan to Improve Mood, Overcome Anxiety, and Protect Memory for a Lifetime of Optimal Mental Health." 

Harvard-trained psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede is the author of "Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind: A Powerful Plan to Improve Mood, Overcome Anxiety, and Protect Memory for a Lifetime of Optimal Mental Health." She links diet to the mental health crisis and dementia risk. Ede explains that conventional psychiatric training ignored nutrition, and she later incorporated dietary strategies alongside medication and psychotherapy after personal health experiences. She emphasizes focusing on metabolic and nutritional quality—especially stabilizing blood sugar and insulin—rather than simplistic plant-vs-animal messaging. She argues some animal foods are needed for brain nutrients like B12 and EPA/DHA. She discusses ketogenic diets as a way to lower insulin, produce ketones, improve brain energy, and reduce inflammation, citing case reports and a study of hospitalized patients where many improved and 44% reached remission. She critiques nutrition epidemiology as unreliable and outlines three “quiet” dietary tiers: whole-food low-glycemic, ketogenic, and carnivore, plus practical issues like electrolytes and gradual transition.

Beau Martonik talks with Adam Kristan about his experience battling Lyme disease and why hunters need to take tick-borne illnesses seriously. Adam shares how his symptoms started, the challenges of being misdiagnosed, and what finally led him to the right treatment. They also discuss early warning signs of Lyme disease, common misconceptions, and practical ways hunters can prevent tick bites while spending time in the woods. If you hunt, scout, or spend a lot of time outdoors, this episode highlights why early detection and prevention are critical when it comes to Lyme disease.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health.

Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health, discusses making metabolic health the foundation of medicine amid rising obesity and type 2 diabetes and reports that 93% of Americans have suboptimal metabolic health. Scher defines metabolic health using markers including glucose, insulin, triglycerides, HDL, blood pressure, and waist size, and cites evidence linking insulin resistance to heart disease, stroke, cancer, psychiatric illness, and other complications. They discuss simple self- and lab-assessments (waist-to-height ratio, fasting insulin with glucose/HOMA-IR, triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, CGMs). Scher critiques the Eat Lancet report for assuming one optimal diet, reliance on low-quality nutrition epidemiology, potential nutrient shortfalls, and environmental oversimplification, while supporting newer dietary guidelines that allow lower-carb approaches. Part two covers contradictory nutrition studies, distinctions between low-carb and ketogenic diets, emerging “metabolic psychiatry” and ketogenic therapy for mental illness and cognitive decline, limits and rebound risks of GLP-1 drugs, and Coalition efforts to improve school food and influence policy.

Welcome to Integrative Medicine for Energy and Health! The Go-To Holistic Health Podcast for Christian Women Seeking to Boost Their Energy and Overall Well-Being! Blubrry Nominated as a Favorite Woman Podcaster! Ranked in the Best 15 Christian Health Podcasts! Your body has a powerful detoxification system that often gets overlooked, the lymphatic system. Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system does not have a pump and relies on movement, hydration, and simple self-care practices to keep lymph fluid moving throughout the body. When lymphatic flow becomes sluggish, toxins and cellular waste can accumulate, which may contribute to inflammation, fatigue, and even hormonal imbalance. In this episode, Dr. Rekishia McMillan explores the important connection between lymphatic drainage, hormonal health, and self-care practices that help support the body's natural detox pathways. She explains how techniques like dry brushing, massage, movement, and hydration can stimulate lymphatic flow and support the body's ability to process and eliminate hormone by-products. Dr. Rekishia also shares how she incorporates dry brushing into her weekly self-care routine and discusses an interesting historical connection to purification practices described in the story of Esther. ✨ In this episode, you'll learn: What the lymphatic system is and why it is important for overall health Why the lymphatic system does not have a pump and relies on movement The connection between lymphatic drainage and hormone balance How dry brushing stimulates lymphatic circulation and detoxifications The proper technique for dry brushing and when to practice it Additional ways to support lymphatic flow including movement, hydration, massage, and deep breathing Join Dr. Rekishia for her upcoming Women's Hormone Health Workshop on Saturday, March 28th, where she will teach practical strategies to help women support their hormones naturally through faith-based wellness principles Sign up on Eventbrite Want to Go Deeper?

Leyla Muedin, a registered dietician nutritionist, shifts the discussion beyond cholesterol and statins to “hidden” cardiovascular risks from insufficient vitamin K and folate intake. Citing Cleveland Clinic and other research, she notes a high prevalence of vitamin K deficiency in the U.S. and widespread inadequate folate intake globally, including low folate levels among women of reproductive age. She explains that vitamin K2 may help inhibit arterial and soft-tissue calcification via activation of matrix GLA protein, with studies linking higher K2 (MK-7) intake to lower coronary heart disease risk and slowed coronary artery calcification. Folate supports vascular function through homocysteine metabolism, with evidence associating higher folate intake with lower cardiovascular mortality, emphasizing active 5-MTHF over folic acid due to conversion limitations in many people. She also notes statins can downregulate vitamin K metabolism and encourages discussing risks, benefits, and supplements with a doctor.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Hal Cranmer, co-owner of A Paradise for Parents assisted living homes in Arizona.

Hal Cranmer, co-owner of A Paradise for Parents assisted living homes in Arizona, details improving senior care beyond “warehousing.” Cranmer describes his path from Air Force pilot to assisted living operator and explains changes he implemented over 12 years, emphasizing meaningful exercise (walks, strength training, yoga, multitasking drills) and an “exercise with oxygen therapy” bike. He highlights excessive polypharmacy in seniors and advocates deprescribing, supplement and hormone support when medically ordered, and avoiding sedating drugs used as chemical restraints. Cranmer details a low-glycemic, low-carbohydrate, ketosis-oriented nutrition approach inspired by Dr. Dale Bredesen, reporting significant weight loss and diabetes medication reduction in residents. He discusses COVID practices that preserved family contact and outdoor time, reporting no COVID deaths in his homes, and describes cognitive training via one-on-one Zoom-based brain exercises and personalized memory games.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, integrative medicine physician, researcher, and best-selling author.

Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, integrative medicine physician, researcher, and best-selling author, has cutting edge strategies for improving sleep. He emphasizes circadian rhythms, time changes, and jet lag. He details reducing stress and “FOMO” from news and social media, prioritizing sleep by cutting nonessential activities, and the health risks of short sleep, including increased heart attack risk, obesity risk, and impaired immunity, plus the role of deep sleep and the glymphatic system. Teitelbaum recommends a dark, cool room, limiting blue light (eye masks, warm/yellow lighting), bedtime routines, sustained-release melatonin, chamomile tea, herbal blends, lavender, magnesium, and addressing issues like sleep apnea (including positional strategies), restless legs (ferritin testing, iron, magnesium), nocturnal hypoglycemia (protein snacks, phosphatidylserine), reflux (bicarbonate, bed elevation), and selective low-dose medications when needed. They also cover daylight saving time adjustment and travel strategies such as shifting schedules, melatonin timing, hydration, and morning light exposure.

With over 20 years of experience and more than 60 peer-reviewed publications, Dr. Morningstar has dedicated his career to proving that scoliosis is far more than just a "curve in the spine"—it is a complex, whole-body condition rooted in genetics, neurobiology, and metabolic health. His groundbreaking research was the first to link scoliosis progression to neurotransmitter imbalances, leading to innovative nutritional protocols that help "re-train" the brain to hold the spine in a straighter position. Dr. Morningstar holds diplomate status in Spine Medicine, Integrative Medicine, and Clinical Nutrition. He is the developer of the Scoliosis Activity Suit, a core training suit specifically engineered to create dynamic corrective forces during daily movement to improve scoliosis curvatures.

In this episode of the Healing Powers Podcast, host Laura Michelle Powers speaks with medical doctor and functional medicine expert Dr. Kelly McCann about mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), histamine intolerance, and the growing number of people experiencing unexplained chronic symptoms. Although mast cell activation was only first described in medical literature in 2007, research suggests that up to one in five people may be affected.Dr. McCann explains how mast cells—an important part of the immune system—can become overly reactive due to environmental toxins, mold exposure, infections, stress, and trauma. When this happens, it can trigger widespread inflammation throughout the body and lead to symptoms such as allergies, brain fog, digestive issues, insomnia, migraines, anxiety, and fatigue. Laura also shares her own experiences with mold exposure and sensitivities, highlighting how many people struggle to get answers through conventional testing.Learn more about Dr. Kelly McCann at thespringcenter.com As Dr. Kelly referenced, you can find more information and locate mold-aware professionals through the International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness (ISEAI): https://iseai.org/Kelly K.

Resveratrol + Copper Research, Plus Grain-Free Strategies for Stalled Weight Loss: Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, answers listener emails. She reviews a small India study (BJC Reports, published September 30, 2025) in which 10 glioblastoma patients awaiting surgery received resveratrol (5.6 mg) and copper (560 ng) four times daily for about 11.6 days, compared with 10 controls; the combination generated reactive oxygen species that deactivated cell-free chromatin particles in the tumor microenvironment and reduced cancer hallmarks. Asked whether this could be prophylactic against cancer, she says it is unknown and requires replication in larger studies, advising supplement use be discussed with a practitioner. She then addresses grain elimination for stalled weight loss: replace grains with more meat and non-starchy vegetables, think beyond typical breakfast foods by using leftovers, and use small portions of starchy vegetables (e.g., squash or potato) if starch helps sleep. She recommends investigating root causes of anxiety and poor sleep and suggests moderation for foods like oatmeal.

Free Speech, Cancel Culture, and the Mental Health Benefits of Speaking Up: Clinical psychologist Dr. Chloe Carmichael, author of “Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly,” frames free expression as a mental health and problem-solving issue amid rising polarization, self-censorship, and cancel culture. Carmichael says authentic speech deepens cognition, aids emotional regulation, and strengthens social support, while chronic suppression can lead to repression, denial, anxiety, depression, and resentment. She describes fear and professional risk after publicly opposing child masking during COVID and argues that labeling speech as “violence” distorts reality, though true threats and incitement differ from words. She distinguishes self-censorship from healthy restraint, offers the WAIT test (Want, Appropriate, Inoculate, Trust), and discusses groupthink, innovation, misinformation debates, time-place-manner limits, and examples from corporate and university settings.

Dr. Kaczor speaks with Dr. Chad Levitt, a board-certified radiation oncologist with over 25 years of experience and founder of ONCARE MD. Levitt discusses how patients are, in effect, consumers of a product called "medical care." As consumers, they are in charge and must navigate the often fragmented healthcare landscape. He talks about the need to have your questions answered fully, to seek second opinions, and to ensure that your care team communicates clearly. The discussion covers what fully informed consent looks like, the limits of the NCCN guidelines, and the need for integrative oncology (including nutrition, stress, and supportive care). His company, OncCareMD, provides unbiased, membership-based advice for optimal treatments with frequent touch points to ensure treatment goes smoothly.Dr. Chad Levitt's bio and linksOnCareMD websiteNCCN Guidelines for PatientsSupport the showBecome a member of The Cancer Pod Community!

Scott shares his 30-year journey that began with a tick bite, years of severe symptoms, and 45 doctors before finding answers in Lyme and co-infections, and later, mold exposure.Together, they break down why “kill, kill, kill” protocols often fail, why symptoms overlap across mold, Lyme, metals, and immune dysregulation, and what Scott sees as the true foundations of healing: nervous system regulation, mast cell stability, detox and drainage support, and addressing the external environment.They also dig into controversies around urine mycotoxin testing, ERMI interpretation, and why you may improve while living in exposure, but you typically won't fully recover until the environment is addressed.Chapter markers00:00 Intro00:44 Scott's health story begins (tick bite, sudden symptoms)02:47 First real breakthrough: Lyme and co-infections04:51 What Scott would do differently07:14 Moving beyond “kill, kill, kill”10:03 Can symptoms tell you it's mold?12:20 Why we've never been sicker17:00 Biggest mistakes after diagnosis20:36 The foundational steps to healing34:02 Can you heal while living in exposure?38:33 Urine mycotoxin controversy41:58 ERMI, HERTSMI-2, and interpretation50:04 Mycotoxins, spores, fragments, and why “killing” is not enough56:26 The biggest lie: the label59:28 ILADS vs IDSA and what's true on both sides01:03:02 Where to find Scott + final hope message01:06:10 Outro-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Neil Levin, the Senior Nutrition Education Manager and a product formulator for NOW(r) Foods and Protocol for Life Balance. 

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.

When we think about loneliness, we don't associate it with risks comparable to smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day. But a growing body of research shows that loneliness significantly impairs physical and mental health. Loneliness is linked to a 29 percent higher risk of heart disease, a 32 percent increased risk of stroke, accelerated cognitive decline, and increased mortality. Chronic, profound loneliness triggers high inflammation, weakens the immune system, and contributes to depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders. Clinician researcher Alison Warren, DAOM, MSHS '17, PhD student, of the GW School of Medicine & Health Sciences, gave a wellness talk on loneliness and how it impacts your overall health–and ways to counteract it. An adjunct assistant professor in the SMHS, she specializes in the intersection of Integrative Medicine, neuroscience, and psychology. She is also an adjunct assistant professor in the Institute for Brain Health and Dementia in the GW Milken School of Public Health and an instructor with the Harvard Extension School. Dr. Warren's research, particularly in 2025-2026, focuses on loneliness as a significant, modifiable determinant of health and a driver of physiological damage. Her work explains that chronic social disconnection causes wear and tear across multiple systems, including immune, neuroendocrine, and cardiovascular systems. ◘ Related Links: Centers for Disease Control & Prevention's How Right Now (information and resources on loneliness and other emotions) https://www.cdc.gov/howrightnow/index.html; NIH Social Connection Toolkit https://www.nih.gov/health-information/your-healthiest-self-wellness-toolkits/social-wellness-toolkit; GW Resiliency & Well-being Center's resources page on loneliness https://rwc.smhs.gwu.edu/loneliness; Dr. Warren's slide presentation on loneliness https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/fdrc6v7kjua6y0j88og6j/UPDATED_Warren_GW-Resiliency-Center-Loneliness-1.pdf?rlkey=5fpz4h7naach2ss1anpxch7ea&st=k2k958gr&dl=0; Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation 2023, The U.S. Surgeon General's Advisory on the Healing Effects of Social Connection and Community https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/surgeon-general-social-connection-advisory.pdf; Warren, A.

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston welcomes Brett Aldrich, founder of Seed the Spirit, for a deep dive into the 5,000-year-old science of Ayurvedic medicine. As an Ayurvedic healthcare counselor and somatic breathwork teacher, Brett shares how we can move beyond the "corporate model" of contemporary medicine to find a personalized path toward true wellness. The conversation explores how the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—make up our unique constitutions and how "doshas" (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) influence everything from our physical health to our emotional temperament. Brett explains that while the world around us may feel chaotic, Ayurveda provides the tools to remain centered and "whole" within that chaos.

Dr. Daniel Monti is the founding chair of the first integrative medicine department at an American medical university.Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, integrative medicine takes a holistic approach to health, combining conventional Western medicine with mind-body therapies, nutritional medicine, and traditional practices such as acupuncture and herbal medicine.“Integrative medicine,” Monti told me, “has become a subspecialty of medicine with its own board certification. ... To become an integrative medicine doctor, you have to first do your residency in something like internal medicine, neurology, OBGYN, and then do a fellowship in integrative medicine.”Monti, who holds board certifications in both psychiatry/neurology and holistic/integrative medicine, said that integrative physicians “take a deep dive into whole-person health and understanding who the person is.” They look, for example, at genomics, the patient's microbiome, and maximal oxygen consumption.A powerful technique Monti studied in depth is the neuro-emotional technique (NET), developed in the 1980s. It's a mind-body therapy designed to release emotional stress from within the body. And through advanced brain scans, they can see how the brain changes after applying the technique to alleviate distress.NET merges principles from conventional medicine with traditional Chinese medicine and psychology, he says. The goal is to “get at what is underneath the issue that's bothering the person. ... Most of the time I'm experiencing a block in my life in some way. And then we have to kind of figure out what the life experiences were that are contributing to that present-day block.”During the interview, Monti used me as a test subject to demonstrate the integrative medicine technique.We also discuss additional integrative medicine therapies, such as vitamin infusions and stress-reduction treatments. We also dive into a recent study into a powerful antioxidant's power to benefit Parkinson's patients.Monti is the founder and CEO of the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health and chair of the Integrative Medicine and Nutritional Sciences at Sidney Kimmel Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University. He's the co-author of “Brain Weaver” and “Tapestry of Health.”He's also the host of “House Call with Dr. Dan Monti.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Hidden Hunger: The Importance of Micronutrients: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin focuses on the critical role of micronutrients—vitamins and minerals—in overall health. Leyla highlights the global issue of 'hidden hunger,' a deficiency in essential micronutrients that silently affects billions worldwide. She explains the impact of this deficit on immune function, growth, energy metabolism, and chronic disease prevention. The discussion includes key micronutrients like vitamins A, C, D, E, B complex, iron, zinc, iodine, and selenium, and their sources. Leyla underscores the need for dietary diversity, fortification, targeted supplementation, and nutritional awareness to combat this pervasive issue. She also advises on recognizing symptoms of deficiencies and the importance of individualized nutrition plans guided by healthcare professionals.
