In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with Dr. Bill Rawls to explore how stealth microbes reactivate under stress and quietly drive autoimmune issues, Lyme, and even long COVID. You'll learn why addressing inflammation alone won't lead to lasting healing. Discover how your lifestyle, diet, and sleep patterns may be silently weakening your immune defenses, allowing dormant infections to take over. Dr. Rawls breaks down the real root causes of chronic conditions and what needs to happen at the cellular level to reverse them. You'll also hear how herbs—often dismissed as “weak” remedies—actually provide powerful antimicrobial and immune-modulating support. Learn which specific herbal compounds can strengthen your cells, reduce microbial load, and help your body restore balance naturally.

Without advocating for or against medication, we address the importance of understanding how it can play a part in the direction therapy goes. As therapists, we don't need to know as much as prescribers (Primary Care Docs or Psychiatrists) do, but we should be familiar with medication so therapy can include this critical piece of the puzzle. Aaron Potratz & Nathan Hawkins are behavioral health experts, licensed counselors, and clinical supervisors with over 35 years of experience. They each own a private group therapy practice and co-own a third one together. Aaron is also a business consultant for therapists in private practice wanting to start, grow, or expand their business. *Watch this episode: https://youtu.be/itDFsJHafXg *Now on YouTube: @shrink-think *Sign up for our FREE email course on overcoming fear and insecurity at: https://www.shrinkthink.com/podcast -------------- *Member of the PsychCraft Podcast Network* https://psychcraftnetwork.com/

What do a therapist dad, his adult daughter, and a live stream full of honest questions have in common? A raw, insightful, and often hilarious live Q&A. In this special live episode, therapist Tony Overbay, LMFT, is joined by his daughter Sydney for a candid conversation that covers everything from emotional immaturity and ADHD to family dynamics, addiction, and navigating a faith crisis. With their signature mix of warmth, wit, and psychological depth, Tony and Sydney explore how perception truly shapes reality (via the Dartmouth scar study), what it means to heal your inner child, and why we so often double down on what's familiar—even when it no longer serves us. You'll hear real-time questions and breakthroughs from listeners on topics like trauma, medication, parenting, and personal growth. Sydney shares her lived experience leaving a high-demand religion, and Tony offers grounded, compassionate insights on how we all carry parts of ourselves—from inner kids to "addicts"—that are doing their best to help us survive.

A two month baby has died from a suspected overdose after she was allegedly given an adult dosage of phosphate medication. BellamereArwyn Duncan was born prematurely in Palmerston North in May, when she left the neonatal unit she was prescribed several medications, including phosphate.

As caregivers, we often pour out until there's nothing left—but what happens when the one collapsing is the caregiver herself? My longtime friend Nancy Comish joined me for a brutally honest conversation about her journey through caregiver burnout, medical overload, and physical decline. She was overmedicated, under-rested, and emotionally drowning. Her husband, Craig—who knows his way around a hospital system—raised the alarm. I echoed it later on her front porch. But Nancy made the call. She read the warnings on the prescriptions. She faced what those pills were doing to her. And then she did something most people don't: she changed. Nancy's story isn't about being rescued. It's about rescue through resolve. With courage, humor, and a clarity forged in pain, she chose life. She shed nearly 40 pounds, got off 15 medications, and took back her health and her soul. This is for every caregiver who's run out of gas and every loved one who doesn't know what to say. It's a story of conviction, love, tough truth—and the grace of starting again. “If you don't know what to say to a family caregiver, don't worry about it — I do!” - Peter Rosenberger A Caregiver's Companion - in bookstores 8/20/2025

In this conversation, Dan and Kyle explore the complexities of modern life, the struggles of balancing personal and professional responsibilities, and the importance of understanding one's relationship with oneself. They discuss the duality of personality, the role of the inner critic, and the dynamics of optimism and pessimism in relationships. The conversation also touches on the happiness curve, the impact of medication on mental health, and the significance of empathy in navigating life's challenges. Ultimately, they emphasize the need for balance and self-awareness in achieving personal growth and happiness. Takeaways: The stress of modern life can be overwhelming, similar to historical stressors. Aging can significantly impact one's appearance and mental state. Understanding one's personality can help in career choices and personal fulfillment. Therapists often face challenges in separating their professional and personal lives. The relationship with oneself is crucial for mental health and self-acceptance. An inner critic can be both motivating and detrimental to self-esteem. Finding a balance between optimism and pessimism is essential for mental well-being. Life stages affect happiness, with a U-shaped curve indicating highs and lows. Medication can be a helpful tool, but should not be the only solution for mental health issues. Empathy is vital in understanding and supporting others in their struggles.

There's so much judgment swirling around weight loss medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide. I hear it all the time — “Why don't they just eat better?” “Why not exercise more?” But here's the truth: most people who turn to these medications have already tried — many, many times — and felt like failures when nothing worked. These medications aren't shortcuts. They're tools — science-backed, life-saving tools — for people who are struggling with obesity, a condition that carries serious health risks. If we had a safe and effective way to treat any other chronic disease, wouldn't we use it without shame? The key is using them wisely — as part of a comprehensive, medically supervised program that focuses on real, sustainable health changes. That's exactly what we do at Complete Midlife Wellness Center through our Holistic Medical Weight Optimization Program. So let's stop judging others for choosing a path that works for them. Let's offer support, compassion, and a little more understanding. Drop your thoughts below — and if you're curious about how our 12-week program works, all the details are right here: https://completemidlifewellnesscenter.com/holistic-medical-weight-optimization-program/ Go You!
Is your loved one with dementia refusing to take their medication? Or worse—pretending to take it, only to spit it out later when no one's looking?
This week, I'll be discussing the shortcomings of the current healthcare system, especially the prevalence of symptom suppression through medication rather than addressing root causes of illness. I recently had a personal experience advocating for a family member in an emergency room that really got me thinking about issues with over-medication and unnecessary procedures. We'll also take a look at the pharmaceutical industry, particularly generic drugs from India and China, and the influence of corporate interests on medical practices. Finally we'll talk about finding healthcare providers who prioritize patient outcomes over profit.You can find the images from today's episode "Exposing the Flaws in Our Healthcare System" here: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/images-from-triangle-of-health/Gluten Sensitive?

Medications, EMDR, or talk therapy not working on your mental health issues? Perhaps Exomind is something to consider. I saw Michelle Fuhr from Health 419 on with Tony Geftos a few weeks ago. As someone who tried something similar years ago, I had many questions for her. First, it's probably not recovery, but a friend made a good point. It, while very unlikely, could happen again.

In today's episode, we're digging into a topic that impacts millions of women, but still isn't widely understood: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or PCOS. It's a personal one for me, as I've had PCOS for over a decade now, and whenever I search for information about the condition, I'm faced with reddit threads rather than professional advice, because so little research is done into PCOS and conditions like it. So, I wanted to create a resource for people like me, who are struggling to understand what they're going through and desperate for information. So today we're talking symptoms, diagnosis, lifestyle changes that actually help, and how to advocate for yourself when you're not being heard. So, If you've ever struggled with your cycle, your skin, your mood, or been gaslit at the GP about your pain, this episode is for you.+DR HAZEL WALLACE Her new book, Not Just A Period: https://www.waterstones.com/book/not-just-a-period/hazel-wallace/9781035049592Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drhazelwallace/?hl=en-gbWebsite: https://www.drhazelwallace.co.uk/ +CHAPTERS0:00 Introduction 02:06 Working Hard or Hardly Working 02:45 Hazel's PCOS journey 05:12 The difficulty of getting a diagnosis 8:13 What is PCOS and why is it so misunderstood?11:42 PCOS diagnosis requirements 14:39 PCOS vs Endometriosis16:00 Can you reverse PCOS? 16:55 Weight loss & PCOS 19:30 Nutrition tips for PCOS 23:46 Grace's PCOS journey this year27:59 Fasted exercise & women's health30:26 PCOS supplements33:00 Exercise & PCOS 40:57 The impact of stress 44:39 Insulin resitance 46:42 Metformin & spironolactone52:36 Medication vs Lifestyle56:00 Listener questions 58:11 Regular cycles & hormones 1:00:15 How to advocate for yourself at Drs1:01:47 Reducing PMS symptoms 1:05:10 Her biggest lesson 1:05:50 Best piece of advice +MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is obviously monetarily endorsed.

Happy Wednesday, Heal Squad! We're back with Dr. William Makis for part two of this powerful conversation… and it's one you don't want to miss. If you or someone you love is facing cancer, autoimmune disease, or neurological decline, this episode could shift everything. Dr. Makis shares what he's seeing firsthand in his clinical practice–real stories of patients with stage 4 cancer, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, even Parkinson's and Alzheimer's—experiencing surprising results with repurposed drugs like ivermectin and mebendazole. He breaks down how and why these low-cost, off-label options are working when nothing else does. We also dive into why many autoimmune symptoms are actually rooted in immune dysregulation, and the real reason alternative solutions are being ignored (and who's behind it) If you've ever felt like the system isn't giving you the full story, you need to hear this. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Hormone disruption is on the rise. Testosterone levels are plummeting in men, while women are reporting irregular periods and fertility issues, and it's not being taken seriously by most doctors. Autoimmune symptoms may be misdiagnosed: Many “mystery” symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, and brain fog are immune system red flags. Repurposed drugs are helping people heal. Medications like ivermectin and LDN (low-dose naltrexone) are being used off-label to reduce inflammation, regulate immune responses, and support recovery from long COVID and chronic illness. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront Prenuvo: Prenuvo.com/MARIA for $300 off Delete Me: https://bit.ly/43rkHwi code: SQUAD EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES: Instagram Good resources for Ivermectin and Mebendazole are: https://allfamilypharmacy.com/makis/ (CODE MAKIS25) For Fenbendazole: https://shopbplife.com?sca_ref=8426171.Rn4pU8ZWgs5W (CODE: MAKIS15) For anyone wanting more information on how Ivermectin, fenbendazole, and mebendazole works, or need dosing protocols, connect with Dr. Makis makisw79@yahoo.com Or visit his Substack makismd.substack.com ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos' passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
