You asked, and now it's back by popular demand - my most requested video topic of 2024.  After thousands of messages about chronic fatigue, it's time to dive deep into what's really happening with your adrenals. Just because exhaustion is common doesn't make it normal. Your body isn't broken - you're not imagining these symptoms. That bone-deep fatigue, those afternoon crashes, the insomnia that keeps you up at night?  They're all real signals your body is desperately trying to send. In this video, I'm exposing why so many people are struggling with exhaustion, brain fog, and complete burnout.  Your adrenal fatigue isn't "just stress" or "all in your head." It's a real physiological response to a system that's been pushed too far for too long. The problem isn't you.  The problem is that most providers are looking in the wrong places. They're running tests that weren't designed to catch adrenal fatigue in its early stages.  By the time these tests show anything, you're already deep into burnout. You deserve more than just surviving.

By popular demand, The Medical Disruptor is back with one of the most requested episodes! In this powerful encore, Dr. E dives into why fibromyalgia shouldn't be seen as a final diagnosis—but rather as a starting point for uncovering the real root causes of chronic pain, fatigue, and brain fog.

In this episode, she exposes the shortcomings of conventional medicine's approach and reveals the often-overlooked triggers behind chronic pain and fatigue—like gut imbalances, food sensitivities, mold exposure, and hidden infections like Lyme disease.

When healing becomes an endless to-do list, something's wrong. Dr. Mary Pardee learned this the hard way. Trapped in a maze of treatments for her chronic gut issues, she discovered that the path to health isn't about doing more - it's about doing less.

When every doctor said "She's not going to talk. Not today, not ever." She refused to listen.  In fact, those crushing words from a doctor sparked a reaction that would transform autism treatment worldwide. This is how one woman's rebellion against medical gaslighting changed thousands of lives.  I sat down with Miriam Guimal, who did what we all dream of doing when faced with hopeless diagnoses – she proved them wrong.  Her once-nonverbal autistic daughter is preparing for college.  What started with noticing how certain foods changed her daughter's behavior led her to uncover breakthrough treatments that traditional medicine had overlooked. Today, her daughter Raquel, once struggling to speak, is thriving in ways doctors said would be impossible.  And Miriam? She's turned her family's journey into a movement, opening clinics across multiple countries to help other families who've been told to lower their expectations. This conversation isn't just for parents of children with autism.  In fact it isn't just about autism - it's about a broken medical system that keeps gaslighting patients instead of helping them heal. . It's for anyone who believes there has to be a better way. Join me for an eye-opening discussion about what's possible when we look beyond conventional approaches and dare to ask different questions. Your view of autism treatment – and perhaps medicine itself – will never be the same. It's time to disrupt the medical system. 00:00 Introduction: A Story of Transformation 03:00 Miriam's Journey: From Mother to Advocate 06:00 The Power of Maternal Intuition 09:00 Early Signs of Autism 12:00 Facing Dismissive Medical Opinions 15:00 Desperate Measures: Understanding Food's Impact 18:00 The Link Between Diet and Behavior 21:00 Uncovering Hidden Health Issues in Autism 24:00 The Pain Behind Selective Eating 27:00 Healing Through Targeted Interventions 30:00 Discovering the Microbiome's Role 33:00 Introducing MERT: A Revolutionary Therapy 36:00 First Breakthrough Moments with MERT 39:00 From Nonverbal to Connected: Raquel's Progress 42:00 Building a Mission: Clinics Around the World Check out Miriam's social media:  Miriam Gimal IG user: @miriam_gimal link: drefratlamandre.com/miriamig  The ABC for Autism user: @theabc4autism link: drefratlamandre.com/abc4autismig Check us out on social media: drefratlamandre.com/instagram drefratlamandre.com/facebook drefratlamandre.com/tiktok      

If you've ever been told surgery is your only option, you need to hear this conversation. I sat down with Dr. Jeff, who like many of us, recognized the gaps in conventional medicine.  As a former neurosurgeon, he saw firsthand how many patients were stuck between physical therapy and surgery, with no real options in between. After years of pushing patients toward surgery, he discovered something that would disrupt everything. Today, we're diving deep into solutions for chronic pain, joint problems, and natural rejuvenation - beyond the typical "you just need surgery" conversation.  Dr. Jeff shares the science behind his work at Recelebrate in Las Vegas, and I have to tell you - this is exactly the kind of innovation we need in medicine. We will highlight how factors like sleep, exercise, and diet play a crucial role in the success of his treatments.  We're debunking the common myths around regenerative medicine - from questions about legality to concerns about costs and effectiveness - all backed by long-term research you deserve to know about. Whether you've been told surgery is your only option, battling chronic pain, or simply tired of being told your body can't heal itself - you have more options than you might think.

You know that gut feeling when a doctor dismisses your symptoms? That's not just frustration - it's medical gaslighting. And it's more common than you think. Let's cut through the BS. Medical gaslighting is real, and it's time we talk about it. I'm sitting down with Natalie Tysdal, a journalist who's become a "connoisseur of information" in the health world, on a mission to help you navigate the complex world of healthcare and find what really matters. Together, we're ripping the bandage off a healthcare system that's failing patients left and right. This isn't about doctors being "bad". It's about a healthcare system that's taught them to trust only certain tools. If those tools can't find what's wrong, they might think you're the problem. But you're NOT the problem. Your symptoms are real. Period. If you're tired of feeling dismissed or confused about your health, it's time to become your own best advocate.

Angela and special guest, Dr Efrat LaMandre meet to discuss the importance of functional medicine in addressing health issues that conventional medicine may overlook. Dr LaMandre shares the personal journey that led her to question traditional medical practices and explore alternative approaches. They delves into topics such as the impact of inflammation on chronic conditions, the role of nutrition in health, and the complexities of mould toxicity. Dr. LaMandre emphasises the individualised nature of health and the need to consider factors like detoxification pathways and genetic predispositions when addressing health concerns. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mould toxicity can affect individuals differently, with symptoms ranging from respiratory issues to autoimmune conditions, making it challenging to diagnose. Understanding the body's detoxification process is crucial in addressing mould toxicity, as an overload of toxins can lead to storage in fat cells, impacting overall health. Genetic predispositions can play a role in how individuals react to mould exposure, with some individuals being more susceptible to certain health issues. Removing oneself from a mould-infested environment is the first step in addressing mould toxicity, followed by supporting the body's detoxification pathways with targeted supplements. The impact of mould toxicity on health can vary, with some individuals experiencing systemic issues while others may exhibit specific symptoms related to their genetic makeup and detoxification abilities. BEST MOMENTS “If you are someone who's listening right now and you're just not feeling well, I want you to know that you are just pre-disease." “Mould is a bigger deal than people are even willing to admit and conventional medicine washes its hands of it completely. And that's a huge mistake." "The gene loads the gun, the environment pulls the trigger."

Embark on a transformative journey with me, Anthony Amen, as Dr. Efrat Lamandre, a holistic health trailblazer, joins us in a profound conversation on the intricate world of Alzheimer's and dementia. Grappling with a condition that's touched my own family, we unravel the complexities distinguishing the two and confront the boundaries of traditional medicine. Weaving personal narratives with her evolution from a dedicated nurse to a holistic health advocate, Dr. Lamandre champions a marriage of conventional treatments and lifestyle shifts in combatting cognitive decline.Together, we lay bare the critical ties binding sleep, metabolic health, and Alzheimer's—dubbed "the diabetes of the brain." Dr. Lamandre elucidates the indispensable role of REM sleep in memory preservation and brain detoxification, urging us to honor our natural sleep cycles and not trade precious rest for the lure of dawn workouts. Our dialogue ventures further into the realm of nutrition, examining how our food choices stoke inflammation and hormonal chaos, lighting the fuse for diseases like Alzheimer's. We probe the entwined paths of depression, inflammation, and social connectivity, painting a picture of mental well-being that demands a holistic touch.Concluding our expedition, we celebrate the simplicity at the heart of lasting health and longevity. With Dr. Lamandre's 'The Knew Method'—a nod to ancient wisdom in modern times—as our compass, we encourage a return to the elemental: sunlight, exercise, and community. From the science-backed benefits of a brisk stroll to the cognitive perks of mingling mind workouts with physical activity, we spotlight the understated yet powerful strategies within everyone's reach. Tune in for an episode that offers not just insights but a beacon of hope for a healthier, more mindful existence amidst the shadows of Alzheimer's and dementia.Support the Show.
