Currently serving as the Clinical Special Projects Manager at The Institute for Functional Medicine, where she has been on staff since 2017, she is committed to the advancement of the field through research and education. She is the host of IFM's podcast Pathways to Well-Being. Dr. Wattles earned her doctorate in naturopathic medicine from Bastyr University, where she developed a keen interest in functional medicine. She went on to receive additional training from The Institute for Functional Medicine, where she further honed her skills in a root-cause, science-based, body-systems approach to healthcare.   In this episode of Conversations For Health, we explore how Dr. Kalea applies a functional medicine lens to fertility, highlighting the clinical relevance of mitochondrial health, oxidative stress, inflammaging, and more when it comes to female and male fertility. We discuss the narrative of the fertility cliff, how to assess diminished ovarian reserve even in patients in their 20s, and how to interpret AMH values in context. Our conversation is filled with actionable insights into preconception care protocols, fertility focus, lab interpretation, and how to personalize support for patients preparing for IVF or egg freezing.   I'm your host, Evelyne Lambrecht, thank you for designing a well world with us.   Episode Resources: Dr. Kalea Wattles - https://drkaleawattles.com/ Design for Health Resources: Designs for Health - https://www.designsforhealth.com/ Designs for Health Practitioner Exclusive Drug Nutrient Depletion and Interaction Checker - https://www.designsforhealth.com/drug-nutrient-interaction/ Visit the Designs for Health Research and Education Library which houses medical journals, protocols, webinars, and our blog. https://www.designsforhealth.com/research-and-education/education The Designs for Health Podcast is produced in partnership with Podfly Productions.

All Gas, No Brakes: Kalea & Jace Bring the Heat Sibling Stars Making Waves in Youth Baseball and Softball All Gas, No Brakes sets the stage for a high-octane episode featuring Kalea and Jace Winston—siblings who are proving that talent, work ethic, and leadership can all run in the family. Hosted by Coach Aaron with co-hosts Banana Jake and Lily Scott, the energy never dips as these two rising stars talk about their journey through elite travel ball, their goals, and their business acumen. From Kalea's MVP-winning softball season to Jace's 15 home runs in 2024—including a 350-foot bomb—these two athletes are bringing the heat and then some. Yet, it’s not just about home runs and highlights. Listeners get to hear what drives them, how they push each other, and why they launched The Winston Vibe, a glove and merch company designed for ballplayers like them. Winston Vibe: The Glove Brand Born from Ambition The Winstons didn't just want to wear the best gear—they wanted to make it. With support from their parents and a relentless entrepreneurial spirit, they created The Winston Vibe, a brand delivering affordable, customizable gloves for players who want more control over their equipment. As Jace puts it: “We wanted cheaper and more customizable gloves—so we just made our own business.” Their passion for quality gear and their deep baseball and softball IQ make this venture more than just a side hustle—it’s a statement. Bringing the Heat On and Off the Field Kalea shares her passion for slapping and her ability to track rise balls with precision, revealing insights into what it takes to be a dynamic leadoff hitter. Meanwhile, Jace, a switch-hitter who's more comfortable from the right side, reflects on being invited to SelectFest, playing for Team Zilla, and even launching bombs off elite pitching. The episode dives into training habits, pregame rituals, and how the two keep each other sharp. Their competition fuels their growth—especially when it comes to who's faster. Rising Leaders with College Dreams and Big Goals Though young, Kalea and Jace already think like leaders. Kalea's goals extend to playing for Duke and potentially studying athletic training. Jace, too, eyes Duke and talks about finding a balance between performance and academics. Their walk-up songs say it all—“Here I Go” by Mystikal and “They Just Don't Know” by Gyft, each one capturing the energy they bring to the field. Baseball, Softball, and the Winston Mentality This episode showcases more than impressive stats. It's about grit, vision, and heart. With Lily Scott and Banana Jake joining the conversation, it's also packed with fun debates, great questions, and unforgettable quotes. The sibling dynamic is authentic and uplifting—a reminder that greatness grows where hard work and family support collide.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Dec. 14, 2023) — A photo captures an instantaneous moment in time — allowing us to preserve a memory. Yet, oddly, the meaning of a photograph is never fixed. Its significance has the ability to change over time. A 4x6 frame holds a celebratory photo of Madona Elias, her mom and fellow graduates.  Elias is dressed in a black cap and gown. A golden tassel, signifying the commemorative closing of one chapter and the beginning of another, falls in front of her face — where Elias is also wearing a proud smile. It's 2004 and she has just graduated from the University of Aleppo in Syria. It's a feeling of accomplishment unlike any other — walking across the commencement stage, outstretched hand reaching for that coveted diploma. “Never did I imagine I would have to do this again nearly 20 years later,” Elias said. **** After receiving a degree in clinical mental health, Elias established herself as a mental health specialist and researcher in the global health community — serving several refugee populations (Syrian, Iraqi and Palestinian) worldwide. As a student who often excelled, she continued to chase her desire to be a catalyst for change through education. In 2010, Elias completed a Fellowship in medical anthropology at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom and was nominated three years in a row by the European Union as a key focal researcher from Syria in the RESCAP-MED project. “The main purpose of the project was to build sustainable research capacity for public health and its social determinants in low and middle-income countries in the Mediterranean Region,” she explained. With nearly two decades of experience in the Middle East, Europe and the United States, Elias implemented and oversaw complex research studies and evaluation projects with the World Health Organization (WHO), Catholic Relief Services (Caritas-Jordan) and the European Union. On top of a successful career, Elias was nearing the completion of her doctorate and felt as if her future was falling into place. “My life was much like anyone else's,” she said. “I had a career, a family and a home.” **** In the backdrop, unrest was spreading across the Arab world. When the Syrian war broke out in 2011, the only home Elias had ever known was no longer safe. “I was forced to flee my beloved country.” Elias' international work status allowed her to seek refuge in the U.S. with her 6-year-old daughter. But many family members were left behind. “Even though I escaped the violence, part of my heart remains there,” she said. Elias was forced to start a new life in a new country — where she would ultimately face language barriers, cultural differences and difficulties finding work. While Elias' education and career were not top of mind, she asked herself, “what's next?” That's when a deep uncertainty began to settle in. “English was my third language. And much of my education was not recognized in the U.S.,” Elias said. “I had to spend the next 10 years rebuilding my life from the ground up. And I had to start my career and education again from scratch.” **** Pain has a way of inspiring purpose. Elias remained resilient — determined to rebuild a bright, hopeful future for herself and her daughter. That's when, in 2016, she began working at UK HealthCare's Psychiatric and Behavioral Health Care Clinic in the College of Medicine at the University of Kentucky. “I loved the charming campus and learned how highly ranked UK's graduate programs in health care are nationwide,” she said. “While I was working, I enrolled in graduate school to earn a certificate in global health.” Elias continued working full-time to support her family, while earning exemplary grades. In 2019, she graduated with a certificate in global health with a focus on mental health. But that wasn't the end of her educational story or her journey at UK. In 2021, Elias was accepted into the online Master of Social Work (MSW) program in the College of Social Work (CoSW). In the years that followed, she pursued the ultimate balancing act — applying herself in the classroom, in the community and at home. “When choosing to complete my MSW as a single mom, while working two full-time jobs, the college offered me a flexible online program with a high quality of education and mentorship support that encouraged me to follow my dream,” Elias continued. “UK also has a wide array of programs that have allowed me to excel in multidisciplinary studies and foster an environment of cooperative engagement across all colleges, programs and research endeavors.” The rigorous MSW includes options for an advanced program (30 credits) and a regular program (60 credits) to give experienced social workers and/or passionate newcomers the practical skills needed to be effective in the field. The program is open to all undergraduate degrees and may be completed full-time or part-time, in either a hybrid or online format. MSW students also have the option to earn specialized certificates in clinical social work, child welfare, military behavioral health, rural population well-being, integrative behavioral health and substance use disorder, among others. The MSW graduates have the highest clinical licensing pass rates in Kentucky and routinely score above the national average — making those who complete the program uniquely poised to enter a competitive job market. And in so doing, students will positively impact the lives of individuals, groups and communities around the world. Through the CoSW, finally, Elias found a second home — and a second family. “It's been an arduous, lengthy, challenging journey. But I managed to reinvent myself and establish roots again here in Kentucky,” she continued. “My mentors, Kalea Benner, Katherine Crabtree and Peter Polatin, believed in me when I lost faith in myself.” **** What makes a photo powerful? On a sunny December afternoon, Elias finds herself back in front of the camera, beaming with pride as she poses in graduation gown — only this time it is blue, and her daughter, now 18, is standing by her side. It's been 20 years since Elias' first graduation. Now, both photos serve as a symbol — reminding her she discovered new happiness not despite challenges, but because of them. “I worked tirelessly, regardless of my scars of war PTSD and survivor's guilt, to become whole again as a refugee.” Elias is aware she is one among many who are forcibly displaced because of conflict, war or natural disaster. Through her initiative, “Global Mental Health Intervention Program During Crises and Wartime,” she hopes to not only help others like her but affect policy change surrounding mental health services for refugees. As Elias crosses the Commencement stage — for the second time — she hopes her story of resilience encourages others to embrace the best from the worst and keep moving forward. “Life is hard and challenging. But I am a war survivor, and now I can see why I'm still here,” she said. “Unfortunately, war is beyond our control. But refugees should have a better future and need help healing. I still have a mission to help people overcome their PTSD and find a way to live with their scars.” "Behind the Blue" is available on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher and Spotify.

The Wells Collective was born out of both necessity and the right amount of mimosas. After six Black women, who worked individually as public and private school educators, researchers, educational administrators, and psychologists, gathered together for a bubbly brunch, the kinetic energy that manifested itself at their table confirmed that by coming together, they could have a greater impact in promoting inclusion in their communities. These women rallied together to identify ways in which they could leverage their individual talents to develop a unique framework that would equip organizations with the tools  to be successful as change agents and architects for liberation. I was lucky enough to hear them speak at a conference last March at Mohonk Mountain House. I knew immediately, that I wanted to share their message on the Debrief. If you want to work with them or learn more, please reach out!

The Root Cause Medicine Podcast is created by Rupa Health, the best way to order, track & manage results from 30+ lab companies in one place for free. The Root Cause Medicine Podcast is a weekly one-on-one conversation with renowned medical experts, specialists, and pioneers who are influencing the way we look at our health and wellbeing. This week we're joined by Dr. Kalea Wattles, Associate Director of Curriculum at The Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM). In this episode, Dr. Kalea Wattles explains all about reproductive longevity, including the fertility span, testing for fertility, and how to slow down ovarian aging. Dr. Kalea Wattles is an accomplished naturopathic doctor, certified functional medicine practitioner, and a renowned fertility expert. Her approach to helping women conceive and maintain pregnancies is based on the functional medicine philosophy. Key Takeaways: Focusing on reproductive longevity It's a human-specific phenomenon to experience a decline in fertility potential around middle age. This could be attributed to the "grandmother hypothesis," where women lose their fertility at a young age to allocate time and energy to taking care of their offspring. Nevertheless, losing reproductive potential has broader implications for various bodily systems, such as reduced bone mineral density and cognitive function, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, it's essential to prioritize reproductive longevity to not only ensure successful pregnancies now, but also promote long-term health and vitality. Understanding lifespan, healthspan, and fertility span Lifespan is the total duration of a person's life, from birth to death. Healthspan, on the other hand, refers to the period of life during which an individual is in good health and free from chronic diseases or disabilities. It's a measure of function rather than a measure of time. The fertility span is the period during which an individual is capable of reproducing, and it refers to the health of the ovaries, regular ovulation, hormone production that protects your bones and brain, and the nervous system. Normal versus pathological ovarian aging Women's ovaries naturally age, leading to a decline in function that culminates in the menopausal transition, usually occurring in the early fifties. This process is a normal part of aging and occurs regardless of a woman's overall health. However, some women experience an acceleration in ovarian aging, resulting in a decrease in ovarian reserve, which can lead to infertility. This can occur even if the woman is still having menstrual cycles and normal hormone levels. Premature ovarian insufficiency is another condition in which the ovaries exhibit perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms, such as irregular periods, even in younger women. Oxidative stress and inflammation Oxidative stress and inflammation are the two biggest contributors to ovarian aging. Oxidative stress is when the body experiences a buildup of compounds that can damage DNA. It can be from having a high sugar diet, environmental toxin exposures, chronic inflammation, or a low intake of dietary antioxidants. Inflammation can come from lots of different sources. Periodontal disease is a significant contributor to inflammation in the reproductive system. But it can also come from food sensitivities, intestinal hyperpermeability, or leaky gut. It's crucial to acknowledge the interconnectivity of all the systems in our body, as each one can impact the others. Therefore, when a woman intends to get pregnant, she must ensure that all her bodily systems are in proper working order and balance. Slowing ovarian aging Be mindful of your diet and reduce sources of advanced glycation. This means cutting back on fried and baked foods and focusing on consuming more antioxidant-rich foods. In addition to dietary changes, it's also important to consider lifestyle factors such as exercise, stress management, and adequate sleep. Also, regularly test. Also, check out Dr. Kalea's recommended lab testing: Hormones testing, Luteinizing hormone test, Follicle-stimulating hormone test, Testosterone panel, DHEA-S Test, Progesterone testing, Thyroid testing, TSH testing, Free T3 test, Free T4 test, Reverse T3 test, Thyroid antibodies test, Comprehensive metabolic panel, Lipid panel, High-sensitivity C-reactive protein test, Hemoglobin A1C test, Fasting insulin test, Nutritional testing, Vitamin D testing, B vitamins testing, Celiac panel, Ferritin test, Iron test, Homocysteine test, Infectious screening, HIV test, Syphilis test, Chlamydia test, Gonorrhea test, Hepatitis test, Cytomegalovirus test, EBV test, Salivary cortisol test, Comprehensive stool analysis, Micronutrient testing Order tests through Rupa Health - https://www.rupahealth.com/reference-guide

Bible Reading: Psalm 119:33-37"Are you reading your favorite fairy tale again?" Kalea asked her younger sister.Nani nodded. "Want to hear it?" She cleared her throat and began "reading" the story without even looking at her book. "When Hansel and Gretel woke up, the forest was very dark. 'How will we find our way home?' asked Gretel. She began to cry. Hansel picked up a pebble lying on the pathway. 'Look, Gretel, here are the pebbles I dropped. We can follow them back home.""I know the story," said Kalea with a grin. "When Mom left for the store, she said to remind you to memorize your Bible verses for church. Have you done that already?""Those verses are too hard!" said Nani. "Besides, what good is learning a bunch of verses anyway?""Well, for one thing, the Bible shows us who God is and how much He loves us. It tells us what Jesus did to save us and how we should live as we trust and follow Him." Nani continued to pout, so Kalea sat on the sofa beside her little sister. "Think of it like this," she said. "Bible verses hidden in our hearts are like the pebbles Hansel hid in his pocket and used to mark the path that would lead them home. The pebbles showed them the way to go, and verses we memorize help us know the way to go too. When we remember the truth of God's Word and trust Him to help us live it out in our lives, it helps us stay on the right path.""But it's too hard to memorize verses," said Nani."How did you learn the Hansel and Gretel story so well?" Kalea asked.Nani shrugged. "I guess it's because I read it so much." "Well, if you read your Bible verses over and over, I bet you'll remember them easily too," said Kalea. "Try it."Nani got her Bible and curled up on the sofa again. "Make me walk in the path of Your commandments…Make me walk in the path of Your commandments…Make me walk…"When Mom came home, Nani jumped up and held her Bible behind her back. "Listen, Mom," she said. Then she recited her verses perfectly. -Lucinda J. RollingsHow About You?Do you struggle to memorize Bible verses? Scripture you've memorized will often come to your mind when you need it. It can show you what to do when faced with a decision and remind you of God's love and promises in tough times. As you learn the truth of His Word, God will use it to help you grow in your faith and turn away from sin. Try to memorize a verse today. Hide it in your heart so it can guide you on the right path.Today's Key Verse:Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You. (NKJV) (Psalm 119:11)Today's Key Thought:Memorize Bible verses

This episode might be a tough one to listen to. The "baby blues" or "postpartum blues" affects 60-80% of all new moms. Postpartum depression affects between 10-20% of all new moms. Dayna is one of those 10-20%. Although Dayna and Kalea have been best friends for years, there is a lot Kaela doesn't know about Dayna's struggle with depression. This episode includes some laughs, but also a lot of tears. We hope that this honest, raw, and real conversation helps those who are also struggling or even those of us who think we might know someone struggling, find the help they need.
