Dr. Sabine Hazan is a pioneering gastroenterologist and the first physician to launch a private microbiome testing lab in the U.S. In this powerful episode, she reveals how decades of clinical experience and cutting-edge research have convinced her that the gut microbiome—especially the near-extinction of key bacteria like Bifidobacteria—lies at the root of Autism, Alzheimer's, cancer, and many chronic diseases. Speaking candidly about the erosion of the doctor-patient relationship, relentless censorship, and the profit-driven forces that have turned medicine into a pill-pushing machine, Dr. Hazan explains why she believes the art of medicine is dying—and how restoring the microbiome could bring it back to lifeProgenabiome: https://progenabiome.comClinical Trials: https://progenabiome.com/clinical-trialsX: https://x.com/SabinehazanMDChroma Light Devices, use "BFCM2025" for 21% discount at https://getchroma.co/?ref=autismUse "autism"$50 discount https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autism10% discount https://figtreegolf.com/?ref=autismhttps://thecognity.com0:00 Chroma, use "BFCM2025"; Daylight Computer & Fig Tree Golf, use "autism"2:00 Dr. Sabine Hazan; Gastroenterologist; Microbiome; Fecal Transplant; Covid, Alzheimers, Cancer, Gut Conditions7:12 The Impact of COVID on Medical Perspectives; Censorship & Narratives12:26 The Art of Medicine & Relationships- more than just pills (Big Harma)16:28 Understanding Autism & Microbiome connections; Cancer21:16 Challenges with Clinical Trials & Funding26:58 Innovations in Treatment versus the Status Quo31:44 Censorship & Narrative Control (Profits over Humanity); Dr. Andy Wakefield & Autism35:52 The Role of Vaccines & Antibiotics40:16 Future of Microbiome Research & Treatment; Bifidobacteria47:52 Preserving the Microbiome; Mother's & Autism; Autism Research54:18 Fighting Censorship in Science; Narrative Control1:00:56 Lab Testing for Autism; Red Light; Dr. Jack Kruse1:09:14 Collaborating versus Censorship1:13:03 Humanity & Health; Profits over Humanity1:17:27 The Medical Oath; Urgency in Microbiome & BifidobacteriaX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Learn how to accelerate your growth by going to outcomesrocket.com Diagnostic intelligence is transforming healthcare by turning lab testing from a cost center into a strategic asset. In this episode, Dr. Julie Schulz, Vice President of Product at Avalon Healthcare Solutions, discusses how integrating diagnostics into value-based care can lead to improved quality, lower costs, and enhanced preventive medicine. She notes that physicians are overwhelmed by the rapid growth of genetic testing and evolving clinical guidelines, leading to cognitive overload and inefficiencies. Diagnostic intelligence, she explains, can alleviate this by identifying the right tests at the right time and automating prior authorizations, reducing treatment timelines from 60 days to just 15. Dr. Schulz emphasizes that diagnostics inform 70% of healthcare decisions, making their effective use vital for improving access and outcomes, particularly among underserved populations, and underscores that simplifying data and embedding clinical decision support earlier can benefit both patients and providers.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Sheena: Hi Dr. C! Hope you and your team are all well. I've been a long time follower and am trying my best to incorporate all the different ways to stay healthy by following the Rain Barrel protocol. When it comes to detoxing, besides exercise and the 7-21 day detox, I dry brush, rebound and now, would like to start invest in a IF sauna. My question is, even though dry brushing and rebounding is only 5-15 mins, do I still need to do it if I get a sauna? I'm trying to save time anywhere I can. Also, regarding IF sauna, which do you prefer? The Thera360? Or Higher Dose IF Sauna Blanket? I've listened to all your podcasts that review them and they both sound great. But is there a "better" one between the two? Thanks in advance for your answer! Kirsty: Hi Stephen, I recently came across some information suggesting that resveratrol might be estrogenic. I was hoping you could clarify whether that's true. I've been taking it alongside NMN, but now I'm a bit concerned it might not be as beneficial as I initially thought. Thanks so much for all you do, I love and trust your information. Kirsty Tricia: Good morning Dr Cabral - I have a problem that I just can't see to conquer and I know if I don't I will never reach my health goals. Every night at 8pm like clockwork I want to eat. It doesn't matter what time I have dinner or what I eat for dinner. I believe it might be a habit but I can't seem to break it. I will use strong willpower for a few months start to lose weight and feel great and then my willpower gives in and I'm back to a snack at 8pm then my health start to spiral. It makes me sad that I can't win this battle. I listen to you everyday and you have helped me SO much. I just can't seem to break this vicious cycle. Do you have any advice? I go to bed early because I get up at 4:00am so I try to eat dinner at 4:30pm. Thank you! Tricia: Hi it is me again. I also do well with routine and I remember on one of your podcast you mentioned you tend to eat the same foods during the week to keep it simple. Do you mind sharing your meal plan for during the week. I need simple and routine. Also, on Monday do you still do a reset day most weeks? Thank you for taking the time to record these podcasts. Amy: I'm interested in getting the food sensitivity test for my 6 year old daughter. Is it something I can use for her (is there an age restriction)? Is it an at home urine test?

This episode is brought to you by Legion, Fatty15, Joi and Blokes, and Audible. Today we sit down with hormone expert and bestselling author Dr. Mariza Snyder, DC to unpack the misunderstood phase of perimenopause—a time of powerful transition that affects every woman but is rarely talked about with clarity and compassion. Mariza defines what perimenopause really is (and how early it can begin), while highlighting symptoms like brain fog, mood shifts, energy crashes, and stubborn weight gain that are too often misdiagnosed or ignored. Drawing from both science and personal experience, she explains how estrogen impacts everything from mental clarity to metabolism, and why muscle mass and metabolic health are non-negotiables after 40. If you're a woman navigating this stage—or someone who loves one—this episode will leave you feeling informed, validated, and ready to thrive in your next chapter.

Send us a textDrug-resistant germs are hidden killers in more than one way. Not only are the microbes invisible to the human eye, in many places, they're invisible because people simply are not looking for them systematically.Doctors often do not know what infections their patients have and treat them based on best guesses, which allows for ineffective treatments and exacerbates drug resistance. Policymakers don't know which infections are most common among populations and cannot make informed decisions about needed treatments or vaccines.This is a major problem across Africa and a new report shows just how complex the problem is.The Mapping AMR and Antimicrobial use Partnership (MAAP), which included the One Health Trust as well as the African Society for Laboratory Medicine; Africa CDC; the East, Central, and Southern Africa Health Community; Innovative Support to Emergencies, Diseases, and Disasters, a nonprofit focused on technology and communication; the clinical research group IQVIA; and the West African Health Organization, collected data from laboratories from 14 countries in Africa (Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Gabon, Ghana, Kenya, Eswatini, Malawi, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe). “The study revealed significant gaps in bacteriology testing capacities,” the group, whose work was paid for by the UK government's Fleming Fund, wrote in PLoS Medicine.It's the biggest survey yet of testing for antimicrobial resistance – AMR or drug resistance – in Africa.Among the gaps: too little testing overall, a lack of laboratory capacities, and poor coordination and analysis of records. Many records were kept only on paper, which made them almost impossible to access.None of this surprises Dr. Sabiha Essack, South African Research Chair in Antibiotic Resistance and One Health and Professor in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. In an ideal world, she says, a doctor, nurse or other professional should see a patient, test them to see what specific microbe is causing an infection, check to see which drugs will successfully fight that germ, and then treat the patient accordingly.Cheap point-of-care tests should be available everywhere and the results of those tests should be entered into systems that officials can use to make policy decisions, she says. Listen as she tells One World, One Health host Maggie Fox other ways to improve our knowledge about the drug-resistant infections that lurk out there. Want to know more? You can find One World, One Health episodes on drug-resistant infections in cancer patients; superbugs and microplastics; the personal toll of antibiotic resistance; one woman's antibiotic resistance nightmare; how to prevent drug resistance, and more.
In this episode, Dr. Jockers dives deep with Dr. Sara Pugh into how light influences your mitochondria, hormones, and inflammation in ways food alone never could. You'll hear how sunrise sets your body clock, why sunset prepares your system for rest, and how the balance of light and darkness fuels cellular health. You'll learn how artificial blue light at night can disrupt cortisol, blood sugar, and cravings, and why the wrong kind of light exposure can be just as damaging as poor nutrition. Discover why your mitochondria respond to light as much as to food and how this hidden factor impacts your mood, metabolism, and resilience. We also explore practical steps—like grounding, sauna use, and cold therapy—that boost your energy and improve sleep. Along the way, you'll find out why sunscreen and sunglasses may do more harm than good, and how structured water and omega-3 fats fit into the bigger picture of cellular repair.

Endocrinologist Joy Wu says that osteoporosis can affect more than half of women and a quarter of men over 50 – often without symptoms until a fracture changes everything, leading to a loss of mobility and independence.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, My OATs test came back with normal markers for bacteria and fungus. I was on an extremely low carb diet when I took the test and was wondering if that could cause a false negative. I have taken herbal Antimicrobials and garlic in the past which sometimes eliminates the bloating and brain fog and does so within a few days but only at double doses and only working temporarily. I have a few mild chronic fungal infections, IBS, cognitive symptoms, and MCAS. Do you think the issue is more likely related to an overgrowth or intestinal permeability caused by MCAS? How should I begin treatment since I am sensitive to many supplements? My food sensitivity test unfortunately showed a false negative to all foods. Zonia: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all your insightful information! My husband has lipoma's all over his body ranging from dime size to 1/2 tennis ball. His mom has them too, but very few. He started getting them removed by the dozen and I understand they can regrow. How can we help prevent the regrowth? Also, we have twins (B/G)and are there any labs that can determine if either have the genes or how to minimize the chances they will have any? Thank you in advance! Chris: Hi Dr Cabral, regarding magnesium intake and supplemental H2: The tablets we have include 80 mg of magnesium for 8ppm H2. If you were going to rely on H2 tablets for your exclusive molecular hydrogen source, how many tablets would you take per day to maximize H2 benefits while maintaining advisable magnesium levels and not too much? Assuming 2 scoops of DNS at breakfast (50mg magnesium) + 2 Full Spectrum Magnesium caps at dinner (250mg). I've been varying from 1-3 H2 tablets/daily throughout the week. I stopped taking a scoop of your very delicious & effective Calming Magnesium before bed (300mg) in order to prioritize the benefits of Molecular Hydrogen, however, would love to add this back in if its not too much Magnesium with everything else. Thank you always. Anonymous: Hi! I have a couple questions. Might have to submit two for the length. First is about thyroid. My thyroid labs are showing normal TSH .56, low free T4 1.33, low total T3 114, high reverse T3 17.20 & TPO high at 25. Does this indicate Hashimoto hypothyroidism? Is this fixable or will I be on supplements or meds for ever? Is TPO specific to the thyroid or is this indicative of autoimmune issues in general? Im curious what even causes these issues to begin with Thank you so much! Anonymous: Hi again, 2nd question. I have a hard time gaining muscle & showing tone. I'm a petite person, and have never really shown muscle tone even in high school despite being in sports.After my third baby I lost muscle. I can tell by my body composition changes.I weigh less but look and feel like it's no muscle & more fat. A PT once was shocked at my glute weakness comparing it to the elder. If I ever take a break in exercising, for about two weeks or more I feel much weaker than before I even started, seems like my strength is decreasing rapidly if I get sedentary for even 2 weeks. Could this have an underlying cause or is this just how some of us are? Should I accept the fact that maybe I won't ever build or show much muscle tone? For reference, 33 y/o female, possible hashimotos and lipedema.

TakeawaysDirect-to-consumer lab testing is on the rise, with significant marketing efforts behind it.Many patients feel brushed off by traditional healthcare providers, leading them to seek alternative testing options.Communication between patients and healthcare providers is often inadequate, contributing to misunderstandings about health.Over-testing can lead to unnecessary anxiety and misinterpretation of results.Fitness influencers often promote lab testing without proper medical training, which can be harmful.There is a need for ethical practices in lab testing and patient care.Patients should be cautious of companies that upsell supplements based on lab results.The healthcare system often fails to provide adequate time for patient concerns to be addressed.Understanding lab results requires skilled interpretation, which is often lacking in direct-to-consumer models.A collaborative approach among healthcare professionals is necessary to improve patient outcomes.Click to join Dr. Spencer's online clinic if you need help with this Click here to check out Barbell Medicine

So many women say they're tired all the time in menopause. Even those who do exercise to improve health, which would include energy levels, will often say, “I'm tired all the time.” Let me share what I would do, and actually did at the end of 2019 when I found myself recovering from a big year of mental and physical stressors. 80% of the population don't exercise, specifically 80% of women don't lift weights the minimum times per week needed for optimal metabolic health. If you are one of those 20% you should be the most energetic people in the room wherever you go! If you exercise consistently and you're tired all the time, something isn't right. It may be about the exercise you're doing, the fuel you're consuming or absorbing, the way you're handling the stressors on your plate, or a combination. There may be something more going on, but often when you have this “check engine” light going on, addressing some changes will help. This is the best place to start to address why you're tired all the time in menopause. 1. Stop Exercising “As Usual” The mentality “This is the workout I always do. If I don't, I will lose my fitness” makes it worse! Even though metabolism changes are documented, pushing exercise to the brink of exhaustion is not the first line of defense in fixing it. Science states, “The basal metabolism of the female body decreases significantly, which can mean a decrease in the basal metabolic rate (BMR) of up to 250–300 kcal per day.” This inspires a diet mentality that is of the eat less, exercise more, you're not going to benefit from this. 2. Move And Eat In Small Snacks Small movements (exercise snacks) like walking 10 minutes 3 times a day, instead of a long walk, will be better for overall fatigue. This helps sustain blood sugar levels. If you are suffering from adrenal fatigue, you may have blood sugar dysregulation and you may not have an appetite in the morning. Eating in small snacks throughout the day can stabilize blood sugar levels too. Tired All the Time Isn't “Normal” 3. Track Food To Check On Macro And Micro Nutrient Intake Cited in studies, key preventive nutrients in menopause are: Vitamin D Calcium Vitamin C B Vitamins Protein I would also add: Magnesium Omega-3 We need protein and micronutrients to gain lean muscle and strength. 4. Consider Lab Testing For Micronutrient Sufficiency and Cortisol Levels (saliva vs blood, dried or wet urine) Lab testing will tell if you are sufficient in levels of micronutrients. You can take a look at, are you in norms or are you optimal? 5. Support With Adaptogens To Help The Body Help Itself Maca, Ashwaghanda, and Rhodiola I found the most benefit personally from Maca. I felt better within a week just taking a morning dose. These are all steps you want to take whether you are or aren't on HRT. If you're progesterone is low and that's interfering with sleep, it can make a big difference. These things just cover the basics and relate to your exercise and fitness routine. Additional steps you want to take: Check thyroid levels with a functional doctor. Get a stool test if your digestion isn't what it should be. That will tell you the status of your good and bad gut bacteria and let you know how to feed with the right probiotics so you feed the good ones and starve the bad. Utilize a health coach who understands optimal levels vs norms of micronutrients. A doctor is necessary to help you interpret many things like thyroid and hormones as well as getting the right tests to begin with. Seek support from a functional doctor who can recommend specific tests that differ from your traditional physician and help you sort out any of these.

Osteoporosis is often diagnosed during routine screenings, with doctors relying on bone mineral density (BMD) tests to assess bone strength in the spine and hip. While BMD testing is valuable for detecting low bone density early, predicting fracture risk, and monitoring treatment progress, it only tells part of the story. Understanding your full osteoporosis risk requires a deeper look at the underlying factors affecting bone health. In this episode, Dr. Kim Millman, an integrative medical doctor and founder of The Millman Clinic, discusses the updated lab tests that provide deeper insights into bone metabolism, hormone balance, gut health, inflammation, and nutrient levels—all critical factors in osteoporosis prevention. She also shares the surprising link between cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Join us as we discuss the latest updates on osteoporosis lab testing. Discover which tests matter most and how they can help prevent fractures before they happen. With the proper testing, you can start your journey to healing and take control of your bone health! “Just the mere fact that you have bone loss makes you more likely to have cardiovascular disease... Once I realized and understood that, I knew I had to understand where the links were coming from and how we could test to figure out where in the pathway we could intervene so that we could prevent and also have the opportunity to improve the strength and resiliency of our bones." ~ Dr. Kim Millman In this episode: - [03:27] - The link between heart health and bone health - [05:12] - Studies about coronary artery plaque and bone density - [10:12] - Shared risk factors between heart disease and osteoporosis - [13:32] - How to use Dr. Millman's interactive testing tool - [16:03] - Webinar: Essential Lab Testing for Unbreakable Bones - [46:52] - How to get help from Dr. Millman - [50:19] - Details about the next Restore & Rebuild class Resources mentioned - RESTORE & REBUILD – 100 DAYS TO HEALTHIER BONES - https://themillmanclinic.com/randr (Early bird price $797 until Feb 28th; Use coupon code HAPPYBONES25 $100 off until Feb 28th) - Dr. Millman's free lab testing guide: https://themillmanclinic.com/bonestesting - Dr. Millman's Essential Lab Testing Guide (Basic and Heart testing for just $31) - https://themillmanclinic.thrivecart.com/essential-lab-testing-guide/ - Osteoporosis Exercises to Strengthen Your Bones and Prevent Fractures (free) - https://www.happyboneshappylife.com/osteoporosis-exercises-to-strengthen-your-bones-and-prevent-fractures-1 More about Margie - Website - https://margiebissinger.com/ - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/ - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.
