Send us a textWhat if “treatment-resistant” isn't about you—it's about the tools? We sit down with Dr. Theodore Henderson, a neurobiologist and psychiatrist, to rethink brain care for autism, TBI, depression, anxiety, and long COVID through neuroplasticity, functional imaging, and smarter energy-based therapies. Instead of labels and guesswork, we dig into how infrared light can reach mitochondria, raise BDNF, and trigger repair; why power and dosing make or break results; and how SPECT scans help clinicians ask better questions before prescribing. Dr. Henderson shares a striking case where a bipolar diagnosis crumbled under imaging—and Lyme disease treatment resolved years of symptoms. We also unpack the politics around SPECT access and the fresh shift in nuclear medicine guidelines that put TBI, dementia, and infectious disease back on the map. From there, we head into the future: ExoMind's next-gen TMS with shorter, quieter, higher-impact sessions; the safety essentials that keep interventions comfortable; and the real-world outcomes families care about most—less anxiety, fewer spirals, clearer thinking, more daily ease. The theme is synergy: infrared plus ketamine, infrared plus TMS, layered with sleep, sunlight, and sensory-friendly routines to create lasting change. Along the way, we honor neurodiversity and practical wins for autistic individuals: reducing rigidity, softening anxiety, and supporting unique strengths without forcing sameness. If your current plan isn't working, this conversation offers a hopeful pivot—more data, fewer assumptions, and a toolkit that actually matches the brain's biology.

Dr. Geoff Dow, CEO of 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals and former malaria drug developer at Walter Reed, joins the Tick Boot Camp Podcast to unpack the science and strategy behind treating babesiosis. Drawing parallels to malaria, Dow explains why tafenoquine (brand: Arakoda), FDA-approved for malaria prevention, is being studied for Babesia, how coinfections (Borrelia, Bartonella) complicate care, and why chronic illness needs a different clinical approach. He previews an upcoming Mount Sinai trial for chronic babesiosis focused on fatigue outcomes and discusses real-world diagnostics using FDA-approved blood donor screening plus PCRs from Galaxy Diagnostics and Mayo Clinic. The conversation also touches on prophylaxis concepts, immune dysregulation, and building a clearer path from anecdote to evidence for the tick-borne disease community. Guest Geoff Dow, BSc, MBA, PhD CEO & Board Member, 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals Background: Biotechnology (Perth, Australia), PhD in malaria drug discovery, decade at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, MBA in the U.S. Leads clinical programs exploring tafenoquine for babesiosis. Key Topics & Takeaways Malaria ↔ Babesiosis Parallels: Both are red-blood-cell parasites; acute symptoms driven by red cell destruction. Similar drug targets justify testing some anti-malarials against Babesia. Why Tafenoquine (Arakoda): An 8-aminoquinoline that induces oxidative stress in RBCs; distinct mechanism from atovaquone + azithromycin combo (current standard for acute babesiosis), potentially useful for resistance management. Chronic vs. Acute Disease: Acute babesiosis in immunocompetent patients often responds to standard care; chronic illness remains under-defined and underserved. Coinfections Are Common: Many chronically ill patients present with Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia together; diagnostics and treatment need to acknowledge polymicrobial reality. Upcoming Clinical Trial (Mount Sinai): Population: Chronic babesiosis with disabling fatigue, plus Babesia symptoms (e.g., air hunger, anemia) and lab evidence in the last 12 months. Regimen: 4-day loading dose then 200 mg weekly of tafenoquine for 3 months. Outcomes: Patient-reported fatigue (quality-of-life) + monthly molecular testing (FDA blood donor test, Galaxy Diagnostics PCR, Mayo Clinic PCR) during treatment and 3 months post-therapy. Goals: Demonstrate symptom improvement, assess eradication signals, and validate accessible diagnostics against an FDA-accepted assay. Prophylaxis & Post-Exposure Ideas: Animal data suggest short-course tafenoquine can eradicate early Babesia; human prophylaxis trials face feasibility and regulatory hurdles. Diagnostics Gap: Need for standardized, sensitive tools to define chronic babesiosis and track response. This trial also serves as a real-world diagnostic comparison. Immune Dysregulation & IACI: Overlap among long COVID, ME/CFS, post-treatment Lyme—shared theme of immune dysregulation with possible persistent antigen stimulation. Safety Notes: G6PD deficiency is relevant to 8-aminoquinolines; established safety database exists for malaria prevention dosing—critical as studies expand to babesiosis. Notable Quotes “You've got to put some lines in the sand—run the trial, collect data, and move the field forward.” “The best we can do for chronic disease starts with defining it—and validating the diagnostics we use to track it.” “8-aminoquinolines offer a different mechanism than current babesiosis standards—key for resistance and combinations.” Resources Mentioned Arakoda (tafenoquine): FDA-approved for malaria prevention; under study for babesiosis. Diagnostics: FDA-approved Babesia blood donor screen; Galaxy Diagnostics PCR; Mayo Clinic PCR. Organizations & Events: ILADS, Global Lyme Alliance, tick-borne disease conferences. Research Partners: Mount Sinai (NYC), Tulane University (Bartonella/Borrelia collaboration). Who Should Listen Patients with chronic Lyme or chronic babesiosis symptoms (fatigue, air hunger, anemia) Clinicians seeking updates on Babesia treatment research and diagnostics Caregivers and advocates tracking IACI and immune dysregulation science Researchers exploring antimalarial repurposing for tick-borne diseases Call to Action Subscribe to Tick Boot Camp and share this episode with someone navigating chronic tick-borne illness.

Rebuilding Health with Oxygen: The Science Behind EWOTClick On My Website Below To Schedule A Free 15 Min Zoom Call:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comOver 40 Fitness Hacks SKOOL Group!Get Your Whoop4.0 Here!Brad Pitzele - EWOT (Exercise While On Oxygen Therapy)www.onethousandroads.comYouTube: @OneThousandRoadsHQIn this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, host Brad Williams sits down with Brad Pitzele, founder of One Thousand Roads, to explore Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT)—a powerful biohacking modality that combines cardio exercise with oxygen enrichment to boost health, performance, and longevity.Brad shares his personal battle with autoimmune arthritis and Lyme disease, a journey that began over a decade ago. After years of medication cycles, painful symptoms, and even a bout with melanoma, he sought alternative healing paths. Conventional treatments offered no long-term relief, leading him to research deeper into root causes and natural recovery methods.When a doctor suggested trying hyperbaric oxygen therapy or EWOT, Pitzele balked at the cost and accessibility of hyperbaric chambers. Instead, he built his own EWOT system, experienced dramatic recovery over several months, and eventually founded One Thousand Roads in 2018 to make the technology affordable and accessible.EWOT involves 15 minutes of moderate cardiovascular exercise while breathing near-pure oxygen through a mask connected to a large oxygen reservoir. Key points:Uses oxygen concentrators to fill a 1,000-liter reservoir.Enables oxygen delivery far beyond what standard machines can supply.Can be used with any stationary cardio equipment (bike, treadmill, rebounder, etc.).Requires only standard electrical outlets and minimal setup space.Pitzele explains that as we age, “inflammaging” causes microscopic capillaries to constrict, restricting oxygen delivery and forcing cells into low-energy, anaerobic states. EWOT reverses this by:Reoxygenating plasma to reach starved tissues.Reducing inflammation and restoring blood flow.Reactivating mitochondria (cellular powerhouses) and promoting new mitochondrial growth.Boosting VO₂ max, endurance, and recovery.Enhancing detoxification, as oxygen helps flush toxins and lactic acid.Supporting fat burning and overall energy production.Unlike hyperbaric oxygen, which relies on external pressure, EWOT uses exercise-driven oxygen demand for faster, more efficient absorption.If you're interested in online personal training or being a guest on my podcast, "Over 40 Fitness Hacks," you can reach me at brad@over40fitnesshacks.com or visit my website at:www.Over40FitnessHacks.comAdditionally, check out my Yelp reviews for my local business, Evolve Gym in Huntington Beach, at https://bit.ly/3GCKRzV

Why You Should Listen:  In this episode, you will learn about the latest approaches to healing your body from mold toxicity, Lyme disease, and other complex, chronic health conditions. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Neil Nathan.  Neil Nathan, MD has been practicing medicine for over 50 years and has been Board Certified in Family Practice and Pain Management and is a Founding Diplomate of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine and a Founding Diplomate of ISEAI. He has written several books, including "Healing is Possible: New Hope for Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Persistent Pain, and Other Chronic Illnesses" and "On Hope and Healing: For Those Who Have Fallen Through the Medical Cracks."  He has been working to bring an awareness that mold toxicity is a major contributing factor for patients with chronic illness and lectures internationally on this subject which led to the publication of his eBook, "Mold and Mycotoxins: Current Evaluation and Treatment, 2016" (now updated to 2022), and then to his best-selling book "Toxic: Heal Your Body from Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and Chronic Environmental Illness."  2021 saw the publication of "Energetic Diagnosis," a discussion of the value of intuition and energetic devices as an aid to both diagnosis and treatment of medical illness.  In 2024, his book "The Sensitive Patient's Healing Guide" was released with a focus on how to approach the treatment of sensitive patients.  And most recently, in late 2025, the second edition of his book "Toxic" was released with several years of new information and insights on healing from complex chronic conditions.  Dr. Nathan has been treating chronic complex medical illnesses for 30 years now, and Lyme disease for the past 20 years.  As his practice has evolved, he finds himself increasingly treating the patients who have become so sensitive and toxic that they can no longer tolerate their usual treatments, and his major current interest is in finding unique ways of helping them to recover. Key Takeaways: Is Long COVID the Great Unmasker? Is POTS an underlying cause or is it a symptom? How might the Radiance Long Hauler testing be helpful? What supplements or botanicals may be helpful for those in a Cell Danger Response? Are hormones generally well-tolerated when one is in a Cell Danger Response? When might be the right time to introduce PC?  VIP? What are the more common sensitizers of a sensitive patient? What are the more common drivers of MCAS? What are some strategies for modulating the inflammatory response? Is MCS the same as MCAS? Should limbic retraining be more active? How often are mycotoxins seen in patients with Alzheimer's? Does HLA-DR impact a patient's recovery potential? How do you handle a suspected mold illness patient when their urine mycotoxin testing is negative? What is the best binder for mycophenolic acid?  Chaetoglobosin? Do the benefits of bentonite clay outweigh the potential risks? What is the source of gliotoxin in the body? How is the treatment of fungal colonization approached? What role have Actinobacteria and endotoxins played in treating patients? Can Bartonella be treated with natural antimicrobials alone? Does treating mold and Lyme improve EDS? Can secondary porphyria be an indication that the antimicrobial is working? What is the role of EMFs in chronic illness? How large of a factor are parasites? Do mold and Lyme contribute to ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, autism, and PANS/PANDAS? What is the role of nitric oxide in recovering health?

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. In this reflective episode, I explore the concept of bio-individuality—how each of us carries a unique blueprint of DNA that unfolds into a living, breathing expression of life. I share personal stories of illness, healing, and loss that illuminate the incredible polarity of the human experience: how some of us are biologically resilient, while others are profoundly sensitive to the same environmental triggers.We'll look at the scientific and spiritual sides of this truth—from how genetic mutations shaped survival during the Black Death and malaria epidemics, to the modern emotional weight of watching friends fall ill far too young. I unpack what it means to live with awareness of your blueprint without fear of it—to recognize that while nature may be impartial, the choices we make each day can color our genetic expression.This episode is both a meditation on grief and a celebration of life's exquisite design. It's an invitation to move through the world with kindness, curiosity, and reverence for your own human blueprint. Episode Highlights [00:00] – Opening reflection: our DNA as a living blueprint, shaped but not ruled by environment[01:12] – Defining bio-individuality and why some people seem “immune” to illness[03:35] – Honoring grief: remembering friends lost to illness and the fragility of life[05:50] – Personal reflection on cancer, Lyme, and surviving 100% of hard days[08:12] – The science of resilience: HIV resistance, the CR5 mutation, and evolutionary advantage[09:50] – The double edge of genetics: how the sickle cell trait both protects and harms[10:36] – Why our genetic diversity ensures the survival of humanity[12:48] – The power of choice, compassion, and connection in shaping our gene expression[13:44] – Closing reminder: the same individuality that causes suffering also enables miracles Links & Resources Biological Blueprint Program (Freddie's custom coaching): https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintBeam Minerals: https://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken — Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENSilver Biotics: https://bit.ly/3JnxyDD — Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENLightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794 — Code: beautifullybroken CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/) YouTube: (https://www.youtube.com/@freddiekimmel Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this special Tick Boot Camp Podcast episode recorded live at Project Lab Coat during New York Fashion Week (NYFW), we sit down with Colonel Nicole Malachowski, USAF (Ret.). Col. Malachowski, the first female pilot of the USAF Thunderbirds and a Lyme patient advocate, walked the runway with us at Project Lab Coat and served as the sole patient representative on the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine committee that authored the landmark report on Lyme infection-associated chronic illness (Lyme IACI). She shares her perspective on why this recognition is a historic milestone for the Lyme community. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why the term Lyme IACI (infection-associated chronic illness) matters and how it creates an inclusive umbrella for persistent symptoms after Lyme infection. How the National Academies report represents the first time the U.S. government has officially recognized Lyme IACI. What it was like for Col. Malachowski to serve as the sole patient representative on the committee alongside scientists and clinicians. Why the report calls for running treatment trials in parallel with biomarker discovery so patients are not left waiting. How collaboration with long COVID and ME/CFS communities can accelerate solutions and strengthen advocacy. The role of AI and machine learning in analyzing patient data, biobanks, and surveys to identify new diagnostics and repurposed therapies. Why visibility at NYFW Project Lab Coat signals growing mainstream recognition of Lyme disease. About Col. Nicole Malachowski Col. Malachowski is a retired U.S. Air Force fighter pilot, the first woman selected to fly with the USAF Thunderbirds, and a National Women's Hall of Fame inductee. After contracting a tick-borne illness and being medically retired, she became a nationally recognized speaker and advocate for Lyme patients. She served as the sole patient voice on the National Academies committee that authored the landmark report on Lyme IACI, commissioned with support from the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation. About Project Lab Coat at New York Fashion Week Project Lab Coat was a groundbreaking event held on September 13, 2025, during New York Fashion Week (NYFW). The show brought together prominent celebrities, researchers, doctors, and advocates who were invited to walk the runway to spotlight Lyme disease and raise funds for Lyme disease research. For the first time, the global visibility of NYFW was used to highlight one of the fastest-growing infectious diseases in the world. Tick Boot Camp co-founders Matt Sabatello and Rich Johannesen, together with Dr. Tal, walked the runway at Project Lab Coat, joining leaders from medicine, science, entertainment, and advocacy. Project Lab Coat demonstrated the power of mainstream platforms to bring awareness, credibility, and resources to the fight against Lyme disease. Key Takeaways Federal recognition matters – Lyme IACI in a National Academies report marks a turning point in credibility and urgency. Patients at the center – clinical trials must include patients from design through reporting. Collaboration is key – linking Lyme, long COVID, ME/CFS, and other infection-associated conditions strengthens progress. Do both now – pursue biomarkers and cures while also running treatment studies to help patients immediately. Technology accelerates hope – AI and machine learning can unlock insights from existing patient data.

Send us a textA single confession at a kitchen counter can flip a life. Stephanie McBrayer joins us to trace the fault lines of family—how a young mom's near‑abortion, a church VHS, and a daughter yet to be born braided into a conviction that still lives in her bones. From there, we step into Nashville's CCM hallways where Stephanie turned an interior design brain into A&R instincts, where album shoots became storytelling, and where Avalon's Jody—her husband—shows how a voice means more when it tells the truth.Then the conversation deepens. We walk through the day her stepdad collapsed at Vanderbilt while her mother awaited cancer surgery—two crises on two floors, one daughter signing the form to relieve brain pressure and then screaming in a stairwell. Gary survives with a brain injury that made him hilarious, tender, and often childlike; the family learns new rhythms of care, dignity, and patience. Not long after, Stephanie's brother Wade goes missing, and the worst news arrives on a roadside. She brings us into the unscripted hours: the senior recital that still needed to be sung, the funeral moments that were both sacred and darkly funny because Wade would have laughed, and the nights when sleep evaporated and breathing felt like work. It's grief without varnish—and community without clichés—as teenagers fill a kitchen with flowers, fold laundry, and tape courage onto mirrors.We talk about surviving a business collapse during COVID by selling masks, the quiet wars with Lyme disease, heart procedures, and the brutal honesty of opioid and tramadol withdrawal. Stephanie doesn't preach; she documents—what helped, what didn't, and what she'd tell anyone facing the same road. And there's hope that doesn't flinch: her daughter, Sarah Clayton, charting a path in pre‑law and intelligence after seeing The Sound of Freedom, finding purpose on the far side of heartbreak.If you've ever carried a secret, sat in an ICU, or tried to laugh on a day that didn't deserve it, this conversation will meet you where you are. Listen, share with someone who needs courage for the next hard thing, and leave us a review with the moment that stayed with you most.

Think you need to work 60-hour weeks to build a successful freelance business? Amanda Bourbonais proves otherwise. After a severe chronic Lyme disease crisis forced her to leave corporate life, she built a six-figure copywriting business working just 20-25 hours per week, and she's maintained that rhythm for five years.In this episode, Amanda shares how she turned rock bottom into a business foundation, why "I started my business so I could take naps" became her guiding principle, and how she prices projects based on deliverables (not hours) to create sustainable income. If you've been told you need to hustle harder or wait until you're "healthy enough" to start your business, this conversation will change how you think about capacity, pricing, and what's actually possible.What you'll learn:How to structure a freelance business that generates full-time income on part-time hours (20-25 hours/week)Why pricing by deliverables instead of hours is the key to sustainable freelancing with chronic illnessHow to turn your health journey into business expertise and find clients who value your unique perspectivePerfect for: Freelance writers, consultants, and creatives with chronic illness who want to build sustainable businesses without sacrificing their health.Send Me A Text & Share Your QA's or ThoughtsJoin The 5-Day Audio Series - Rooted Sales Loved this episode?

Free speech under heat: the ACLU's Ben Wizner and the Manhattan Institute's Ilya Shapiro square off (and sometimes align) on the “ethos” of the First Amendment—from the Ball State firing over Charlie Kirk comments to cancel culture, government jawboning, and campus heckler's vetoes. We dig into the Supreme Court's shadow docket and unitary-executive fights, birthright citizenship, visas vs speech rights, and why institutions keep ducking protests.

In this episode, Brad Pitzele shares his journey from chronic illness survivor to EWOT advocate and business owner. Facing autoimmune issues and Lyme disease that left him struggling with brain fog, pain, and 50+ symptoms, Brad discovered Exercise with Oxygen Therapy when traditional treatments failed. After building his own system and experiencing dramatic improvements, he founded 1000 Roads to make EWOT more accessible. The conversation explores the science behind EWOT, its applications for chronic illness and athletic recovery, and the business case for healthcare providers looking to integrate this therapy into their practices.  Click here for full show notes  Key Highlights:  EWOT uses concentrated oxygen during exercise to improve cellular oxygenation and reduce inflammation  Research dating to the 1960s shows benefits for everything from cancer to autoimmune conditions  Systems start at under $2,500 with quick ROI potential through session-based pricing  Minimal staff oversight required - front office staff can manage patient setup  Effective for chronic illness, athletic recovery, and general wellness applications  Pairs well with other therapies like red light therapy for enhanced benefits  Memorable Quotes: "The hardest part about selling EWOT is that it does so many great things, it's almost like not believable."  "When you do EWOT, you're not just using the red blood cells, you're actually saturating the blood plasma, which is about a thousand times thinner than a red blood cell and can get through those blockages."  "70% of the detoxification that you do in your body is actually through your lungs."  Brad's combination of personal experience and engineering background provides unique insights into both the therapeutic potential and practical implementation of EWOT, making this episode valuable for any healthcare provider exploring innovative treatment modalities.  Brad's Bio:  Brad Pitzele is the founder of One Thousand Roads and a chronic illness survivor who discovered Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) when facing severe autoimmune diseases, chronic fatigue, and cancer. After being unable to afford existing EWOT systems ranging from $5,000-$25,000, Brad used his engineering background to build his own system, experiencing dramatic health improvements that inspired him to launch One Thousand Roads in 2016. The company focuses on providing affordable, high-quality wellness products for people with chronic illnesses, with a mission to help one thousand people recover their health and quality of life. Eight years later, One Thousand Roads has helped thousands of customers on their wellness journeys while making EWOT more accessible through systems starting under $2,500.  Find Brad:  Website  Facebook  Instagram  See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Connect With Us:  Be a Guest on the Show  Thriving Practice Community  Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy  Tracy's LinkedIn  Business LinkedIn Page

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection passed on to humans by infected ticks. Symptoms can range from fatigue, joint pain and a circular shaped rash to facial paralysis and heart arrythmia. According to a British Medical Journal (BMJ) global health review, Lyme disease has likely infected about one in 10 people across the globe. Recently, pop star Justin Timberlake went public about contracting the condition. If treated quickly, most people will recover but there are still issues around diagnosing and treating Lyme disease. And globally, cases are on the rise. In this edition of The Inquiry, Charmaine Cozier explores what's behind the increase and hears about new tests and vaccines currently being developed. Contributors: Dr Sally Mavin, clinical scientist and Director of the Scottish Lyme Disease and Tick-Borne Infections Reference Laboratory, Raigmore Hospital, Inverness, Scotland Dr Armin Alaedini, Chief Scientific Officer, Global Lyme Alliance Dr Gábor Földvári, research group leader, Centre for Ecological Research, Institute of Evolution, Budapest, Hungary Dr Alessandra Luchini, Professor, School of Systems Biology, George Mason University, USA.

This episode of the Intelligent Medicine podcast is a deep dive into the complexities of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. Nicole Bell, the CEO of Galaxy Diagnostics and author of “What Lurks in the Woods,” details the challenges of diagnosing tick-borne diseases, the limitations of current diagnostic tests, and the controversy around treatment methodologies. Nicole shares her personal journey that led her to this field after her husband was misdiagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's, which was later revealed to be caused by advanced Lyme disease. They also discuss new diagnostic techniques, the importance of personalized treatment plans, and ongoing advocacy efforts to improve awareness and research funding for Lyme disease.

What happens when we face the hard reality of childhood obesity with solutions-focused honesty, grace, and hope? In this episode, Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast host, Jamie Belz, jumps into the passenger seat and releases the reins as a guest on The Liberty Wellness Podcast, hosted by Rebecca Stewart.  Rebecca is a National Board-Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), a homeschool mama of two, and the founder of Liberty Wellness & Co.—a virtual practice supporting clients through complex chronic illnesses like Lyme disease, Hashimoto's, and autoimmune conditions. She's also the creator of the Liberty Wellness Homeschool High School Health Curriculum, giving families a solid foundation for health education at home. Her heart for parents, children, and future generations shines through every word. After listening to Episode 35 of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Rebecca invited Jamie to be a guest on her platform for a real conversation to help parents and kids understand: The biology behind childhood obesity - why it's not just “baby fat” and how early patterns set lifelong health trajectories. Parental guilt, shame, and fear—how to forgive ourselves and look forward with positivity as we help heal our families.  The impact of sugar, dopamine hits, screen time, and nutrient-deficient foods on kids' developing bodies. Why bio-individuality matters: every child is unique, and healing isn't one-size-fits-all. Generational cycles of health decline, including the eye-opening research of Dr. Francis Pottenger and the warnings of Dr. Weston A. Price nearly a century ago. How simple, doable changes—nutrient-dense meals, family modeling, stress reduction, and connection—can rewrite the story for our kids and grandkids. The powerful reminder that it's never too late to shift course, heal, and create meaningful change, redemption, and hope for healthier generations. ⁠Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon⁠ ⁠Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast – Episode 35: Childhood Obesity⁠ ⁠Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast – Episode 4: Bio-Individuality⁠ ⁠Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast – Episode 6: Pottenger's Cats⁠ ⁠Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast - Episode 30: Generational Health⁠ From Rebecca: Website: ⁠Liberty Wellness & Co.⁠ Homeschool Health Curriculum: ⁠Liberty Wellness High School Health Course⁠ Instagram + Facebook: ⁠@libertywellnessandco⁠ This episode is raw, informative, and filled with loving laughter.

Justin Timberlake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Timberlake's past week has been marked by a deeply personal revelation that could reshape the next chapter of his career. In a heartfelt Instagram statement posted July 31 as reported by AOL, Timberlake publicly disclosed that he has been diagnosed with Lyme disease—a condition he described as relentlessly debilitating and which he'd kept private while powering through his massive world tour. He insisted that his announcement was not for sympathy but to clear up speculation swirling around his recent live performances, where fans and critics alike had noted a marked drop in his energy and vocal presence. According to Timberlake, the symptoms—including nerve pain and crushing fatigue—were at times so severe he considered calling off the remainder of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which wrapped recently after a string of festival appearances.The announcement also sent ripples through the music world for another reason. According to an exclusive from Q92 Radio, the much-rumored NSYNC reunion tour has been put on indefinite hold following Timberlake's diagnosis—with sources confirming the group decided there's no path forward without a fully healthy Justin front and center. This is not the first time illness has disrupted Justin's high-profile commitments; Rolling Stone noted a canceled London concert at the last minute earlier this year, and an Ohio tour finale scrapped just twelve minutes before showtime, both events that fueled fan frustration and social media speculation about his health.While Timberlake's Instagram post drew a flood of support from fans and stars alike, it also prompted an outpouring on platforms like X and Instagram, with hashtags like #WeLoveYouJT and #TimberlakeStrong trending for several days. Despite the setback, the singer took care to thank everyone involved in his touring machine—especially his wife Jessica Biel and their two sons—and left the door ajar about whether he'll ever return to the stage on a major scale. Social media chatter continues to speculate on possible short-term projects or TV appearances, but as of now, no new music or acting ventures have been formally announced.On the business front, Timberlake's empire appears as robust as ever. The Tradable just highlighted his net worth reaching between 350 and 400 million dollars, buoyed by a massive catalog sale to Hipgnosis, ongoing real estate holdings, and his roles in both the liquor and fashion worlds. In the landscape of biographical significance, there's no denying this week's Lyme disease disclosure could represent a career inflection point for Justin Timberlake.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In this special Tick Boot Camp Podcast episode recorded live at Project Lab Coat during New York Fashion Week (NYFW), we sit down with Dr. Michal “Mikki” Caspi Tal, Principal Scientist in the Department of Biological Engineering at MIT and Associate Scientific Director of the MIT Center for Gynepathology Research. Dr. Tal is an immunologist and immunoengineer whose groundbreaking research focuses on the connections between infections and chronic diseases, including Lyme disease and long COVID. At her Tal Research Group lab, she studies why some people recover quickly after infection while others develop chronic illness, with a focus on the immune system's different responses in men and women. What You'll Learn in This Episode How Dr. Tal's lab uses mouse models of chronic Lyme and a large clinical study to take a deeper look at Lyme disease. Why some patients make a protective immune response while others develop catastrophic responses like dysautonomia, MCAS, gynecological issues, or clotting disorders. How her team is moving beyond “yes/no” antibody tests to create new biomarker diagnostics that can guide treatments. Why sex differences matter in chronic illness and why women are more likely to experience long-term symptoms after infection. How her research could lead to more personalized treatment approaches for Lyme disease patients by grouping individuals based on immune response patterns. What samples (blood, saliva, sweat, tissue) her team is collecting at MIT to uncover new insights into chronic Lyme disease. Why this research brings hope to Lyme patients who feel unseen and unheard. About Dr. Michal Caspi Tal Principal Scientist, MIT Department of Biological Engineering Associate Scientific Director, MIT Center for Gynepathology Research Focus areas: Lyme disease, long COVID, chronic inflammatory diseases, sex differences in immune response, predictive diagnostics Background: PhD in Immunobiology from Yale (mentored by Dr. Akiko Iwasaki), postdoctoral training at Stanford (Irving Weissman lab), infectious disease research leader at Stanford's Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine. Awards: NIH NIAID F31 and F32 Fellowships, Bay Area Lyme Foundation Emerging Leader Award About Project Lab Coat at New York Fashion Week Project Lab Coat was a groundbreaking event held on September 13, 2025, during New York Fashion Week (NYFW). The show brought together prominent celebrities, researchers, doctors, and advocates who were invited to walk the runway to spotlight Lyme disease and raise funds for Lyme disease research. For the first time, the global visibility of NYFW was used to highlight one of the fastest-growing infectious diseases in the world. Tick Boot Camp co-founders Matt Sabatello and Rich Johannesen, together with Dr. Tal, walked the runway at Project Lab Coat, joining leaders from medicine, science, entertainment, and advocacy. Project Lab Coat demonstrated the power of mainstream platforms to bring awareness, credibility, and resources to the fight against Lyme disease. Why This Episode Matters For too long, chronic Lyme patients have been told their symptoms are “all in their head.” Dr. Tal's work at MIT proves otherwise by measuring the real biological differences in immune system responses. This research not only validates patients' experiences but also charts a course toward better diagnostics, clinical trials, and personalized treatments.

Charlie Kirk's assassination last week has prompted a nationwide conversation on free speech, a founding principle of a Texas startup university that correspondent Jon Wertheim first reported on in November. The University of Austin has been labeled by some as “anti-woke,” but founders, students and advisors tell Wertheim they believe they're grounded in free speech, disrupting modern academia by fostering debate and ideological openness in their classrooms. Researchers on Nantucket are attempting something unprecedented: using genetic engineering to curb Lyme disease, a tick-borne illness spreading across the U.S. Instead of targeting deer or ticks, they hope to release genetically altered wild mice that are immune to Lyme disease and thereby curb its transmission. CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook visits the island to meet the scientists and hear how their first-of-its-kind approach could reshape the future of disease prevention. One of the most awe-inspiring and mysterious migrations in the natural world stretches from the United States and Canada to Mexico. This incredible spectacle involves millions of monarch butterflies embarking on a monumental aerial journey. Correspondent Anderson Cooper reports from the mountains of Mexico, where the monarchs spend the winter months sheltering in trees before emerging in February to take flight again.

Even to this day, with all that has happened in the health movement, from awareness of processed foods and new alternative diagnostic technology to the realization that people may not be making up their symptoms and may truly be sick, there still is a crisis of understanding for the chronically ill. Mystery chronic illness is still rampant and even far worse than it's ever been, and the chronically ill are still forsaken by the health industry. It's not just the conventional medical industry, but also the holistic and alternative health industry—not to mention they aren't too far divided these days and almost merged into one with current belief systems, but that's another story all together. Either way you look at it all, the chronically ill are still misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and seen as a school of fish biting on the next useless trend that isn't geared to the real problems and root causes of sickness. In this episode you will get a critically important window into why people are still sick and even a direction on how to start healing. In this episode… Learn that celery juice is a powerful healing tool, proven to help people with chronic illness worldwide, but how it is deliberately suppressed by the health industry because it doesn't generate enough profit for them. Discover how both the conventional and alternative health industries fail chronically ill people, prioritizing profit over true healing and offering products that do not address root causes. Uncover how popular supplements like collagen, creatine, whey protein, methylene blue and more are aggressively marketed but do nothing to resolve chronic illness symptoms. Recognize that influencers often exaggerate or fake chronic illness experiences to sell ineffective products, misleading truly sick individuals into wasting money and time. Discover why chronically ill people are trapped in endless cycles of misinformation—pushed from one false solution to the next, from probiotics to Lyme treatments to alkaline fads—without ever healing. Learn about true healing and how it requires actions such as removing toxic heavy metals, strengthening the immune system with proper zinc, restoring liver function, and adopting protocols like celery juice and heavy metal detox. Find out why mystery symptoms such as migraines, vertigo, anxiety, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and thyroid issues are caused by pathogens and toxins—not protein deficiencies. Uncover that healing is a gradual process—three steps forward and two steps back—and with persistence, Medical Medium protocols deliver tangible, life-changing results. All this and more, tune in and don't miss out on this important episode. You can revisit this episode anytime you need it. For more information visit www.medicalmedium.com
