Gout is often treated as a simple problem of high uric acid — take medication, avoid a few foods, and carry on.But for many people, that approach leads to recurrent flare-ups, worsening symptoms, and long-term health issues.In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon is joined by Spiro Koulouris to unpack what's really driving gout and why medication alone is rarely enough.Spiro explains:Why gout is fundamentally a lifestyle and metabolic conditionHow relying solely on medication can allow uric acid levels to keep risingThe role of diet, hydration, stress, and daily habits in gout progressionCommon misconceptions that prevent people from truly resolving goutWhat needs to change if someone wants long-term relief, not just symptom suppressionThis conversation challenges the conventional narrative around gout and offers a more complete, root-cause perspective on managing — and potentially preventing — future flare-ups.

Send us a textEpisódio 69 — Controvérsias sobre persistência do canal arterial em prematuros: o que a evidência realmente mostraA persistência do canal arterial em prematuros segue sendo um dos temas mais debatidos da neonatologia moderna — e talvez um dos mais desafiadores. Durante anos, aprendemos que identificar e fechar o canal era sinônimo de fazer o “certo”. Mas, à medida que grandes ensaios clínicos foram publicados, essa certeza começou a ruir.Neste episódio especial, mergulhamos nas principais evidências que mudaram — e continuam mudando — a forma como pensamos o canal arterial: por que ele se mantém aberto, o que realmente acontece do ponto de vista hemodinâmico, quando (e se) devemos intervir, e quais desfechos importam de verdade.Revisitamos estudos marcantes, discutimos suas perguntas, métodos, resultados e implicações práticas, trazendo o olhar crítico para o contexto das UTIs neonatais brasileiras — onde os recursos, as rotinas e os desafios nem sempre são os mesmos dos grandes centros de pesquisa.Mais do que procurar respostas definitivas, o episódio convida à reflexão: o canal arterial é vilão, espectador ou marcador da imaturidade extrema? Estamos ajudando nossos pacientes quando intervimos precocemente — ou apenas fechando um número no ecocardiograma?1.

Dr. Jules Cormier was living a medical nightmare. Despite being a practicing physician, he was battling severe angioedema that sent him to the emergency room with life-threatening swelling after simple activities like playing basketball or experiencing temperature changes. Medications barely managed his symptoms, and he lived in constant fear of the next potentially fatal reaction.Everything changed when his infant daughter began experiencing similar inflammatory conditions – blood in her diapers, eczema, and asthma severe enough to require emergency care. This wake-up call led Dr. Cormier to question everything he thought he knew about nutrition and inflammation. Could the conventional medical training that barely touched on diet be missing something crucial?Taking a leap of faith, his family began eliminating dairy and beef, gradually transitioning to a completely plant-based diet. The results were transformative – his chronic hives disappeared, his asthma improved, and his daughter's symptoms resolved. What began as a desperate attempt to help his child blossomed into a complete health transformation that freed him from medications and sparked a mission to help others understand the profound connection between food and inflammation.In this enlightening conversation with Shauna Barker, Dr. Cormier breaks down the science of inflammation with refreshing clarity. He explains the critical difference between necessary acute inflammation (your body's natural healing response) and the dangerous chronic systemic inflammation that underlies most modern diseases. More importantly, he reveals how our dietary choices directly impact these inflammatory processes through three key mechanisms: dysbiosis (gut microbiome imbalance), oxidative stress, and lipotoxicity.What makes Dr. Cormier's approach so powerful is his focus on sustainable change rather than perfectionism. He advocates for small, incremental adjustments that add more fiber-rich plant foods without creating friction in people's lives. This behavioral science-based strategy acknowledges human nature's preference for immediate rewards over long-term benefits, making lasting change possible even in our hyperprocessed food environment.Ready to reduce inflammation and reclaim your health?

Today, I'm thrilled to reconnect with Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen, a board-certified endocrinologist and obesity medicine specialist with more than 15 years of clinical experience, widely recognized as one of the earliest adopters of GLP-1 therapies in the United States. She is also the author of the upcoming book Weightless: A Comprehensive Guide to the New Era of GLP-1 Medications. In our discussion, we explore the transgenerational impact of obesity as a complex, chronic, and deeply multifactorial condition. We discuss the effects of environmental exposures and trauma, the essential role of education in overcoming weight-loss resistance and managing obesity, and the physiological changes women experience in the perimenopause-to-menopause transition. We explain the importance of body positivity and image, reframing our thoughts around obesity and being overweight, and why building and maintaining muscle is non-negotiable. We dive into the physiology of GLP-1 medications and specific targets for women in perimenopause and menopause, ways to address weight-loss stalls, and the effects of the weight bias so deeply entrenched in our society. Dr. Salas Whalen also shares her thoughts on alternatives and additions to GLP-1 therapies, clarifying the importance of protein and strength training while using GLP-1 drugs.  This conversation with Dr. Salas-Whalen is truly invaluable, and I highly recommend her upcoming book, Weightless. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: • What people come to understand about “normal eating” after starting GLP-1s • How GLP-1s interrupt the binge–guilt–shame cycle • The role GLP-1s play in helping people stay in control of food rather than letting food control them • Strategies for avoiding side effects when using GLP-1 medications • Why certain foods trigger problems on injection days • Importance of proper guidance to prevent severe side effects • The impact a prescriber's guidance has on your success with GLP-1s • Why treatment plans must be tailored to each patient's needs and metabolism • Factors doctors consider when deciding whether to add additional medications to a GLP-1 plan Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community (The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow)  Cynthia's Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!

Text Me!White-knuckling through detox and hoping for the best isn't a strategy, and for many people, it's the reason they keep ending up back in crisis.In this episode of the Sober Vibes Podcast, I chat with addiction recovery specialist and nurse practitioner Trent Carter to unpack a smarter, more sustainable approach to recovery, one that treats addiction like the chronic condition it is and builds a real bridge from crisis to long-term stability.Trent explains why ER detox loops and one-size-fits-all treatment scripts leave people stranded, and how targeted medications, clear education, accountable follow-up, and real-life structure can make sobriety feel achievable instead of fragile.Together, we talk through the Three Pillars of Change — awareness, education, and action and show how these pillars turn lofty recovery goals into daily, realistic wins. Trent breaks down when medications like naltrexone or buprenorphine can be helpful, why “meds as a crutch” is the wrong frame, and how to think about tapering versus long-term maintenance with honesty and clarity.This episode is practical, science-backed, and deeply hopeful, reminding listeners that recovery becomes sustainable when the plan actually matches real life.In this episode, you'll learn:Why ER detox loops and poor discharge planning fail peopleGaps in addiction care quality and educationWhy medication-assisted treatment is a bridge, not a crutchHow outpatient and IOP programs support real-life recoveryWhy inpatient treatment must be followed by strong aftercareResources Mentioned:Subscribe to my YouTube Channel1:1 CoachingMy Book Connect with Trent:WebsiteBookPODCAST SPONSOR:This episode is sponsored by Soberlink, a trusted accountability tool for anyone navigating early recovery.

Medication nonadherence in schizophrenia is often framed as defiance — but that narrative misses the truth and harms the very people it claims to help. Guest host Rachel Star Withers (who lives with schizophrenia) unpacks why up to 70% of people with schizophrenia have trouble taking medication as prescribed — and why the reasons are far more complex than “noncompliance.” From severe side effects and cognitive symptoms to stigma, trauma, access issues, and being dismissed by providers, this conversation exposes the real barriers standing in the way of effective treatment. Rachel shares deeply personal experiences of both intentional and unintentional nonadherence, including how side effects like extreme fatigue and tardive dyskinesia shaped her decisions — and how lack of education nearly cost her years of quality of life. The episode also explores how medication refusal can be weaponized, stripping people with schizophrenia of autonomy under the guise of “lack of insight.” Later, Rachel sits down with board certified toxicologist and psychopharmacologist Dr. Alberto Augsten, who brings clarity, hope, and science to the discussion. Together, they explore long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIs), new treatment advances, realistic expectations, and how education — not force — improves outcomes. If you've ever wondered why medication adherence is so difficult in schizophrenia — and what actually helps — this episode delivers answers rooted in empathy, evidence, and lived experience. Our guest, Dr. Alberto Augsten, is a board certified toxicologist and psychopharmacologist. He is a consultant and expert witness specializing in psychopharmacology and clinical toxicology.

This episode breaks down the major misconceptions about ADHD treatment and clarifies what decades of research, major clinical guidelines, and leading experts actually recommend. Ryan and Mike explain why weekly talk therapy is not an evidence-based treatment for ADHD, why parent training and environmental structure are consistently shown to improve outcomes, and how parents can make informed decisions without getting pulled into common myths.Find Mike @ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.grownowadhd.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find Ryan @ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.adhddude.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube{{chapters}}[00:00:00] Start[00:02:21] What clinical guidelines actually recommend[00:05:27] Dr. Barkley's research on effective ADHD treatments[00:09:11] Evidence on CBT, DBT, and play therapy[00:19:21] Why office-based therapy doesn't translate to real-world behavior[00:22:29] Rumination and how talk-heavy approaches can backfire[00:31:19] Treatments with the strongest evidence (medication, parent training)⁠⁠⁠Citations:1.

Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC), also known as idiopathic intracranial hypertension, is a condition caused by elevated cerebrospinal fluid pressure in the brain. The symptoms of this condition mimic those of a brain tumor, giving it the name pseudotumor cerebri, meaning "false brain tumor." The increased pressure can cause swelling of the optic nerve and can result in loss of vision. Medications can often reduce the pressure and headache, but surgery is necessary in some cases.Alexander M. Solomon, MD, is a neuro-ophthalmologist and strabismus surgeon at Pacific Neuroscience Institute in Santa Monica and Torrance, CA. Dr. Solomon's personal philosophy is that each patient is individual and that diagnosis and optimal management of any disease is best carried out in conjunction with patient and family education, and understanding. His skillset includes visual field analysis and optical coherence tomography interpretation, as well as advanced adult strabismus diagnosis and treatment including thyroid eye disease, cranial nerve palsies, and orbital disease.

In this episode, I sit down with a 49-year old mom of 3 and a busy professional- Cristina.She had a full home gym and years of on-and-off effort, but no real results. With double hip replacements, she was thinking seriously about her long-term mobility and whether her body would keep up with the life she wanted.She joined BBM for structure and accountability, with the goal of training in a way that respected her joints instead of avoiding movement altogether.Seven months later, she is stronger, stable, moving with confidence, no longer in therapy, because her mental health improved significantly, and off cholesterol medication. She talks about the mental clarity that came from consistent training and the shift from hesitation to self-trust.We cover:Training with double hip replacementsHow BBM supported her stopping therapy after many years The structure that supported her coming off cholesterol medicationMental clarity and confidence as early outcomes of consistencyWorking through fear of judgment in a group settingBuilding stability, balance, and range of motion at 49If you have physical limitations, past surgeries, or years of inconsistency behind you, this conversation shows what becomes possible when training is structured and sustained.Book a complimentary Coffee & Goals consultation:monikaamazur.as.me/CoffeeandGoals

Every year, Poison Control Centers in the U.S. receive more than a million calls related to accidental poisonings in young children, and thousands are treated in emergency departments. A child is rushed to the ER roughly every nine minutes because they've accessed medication. During the holiday season, these incidents increase as families gather, routines shift and visitors bring purses, coats or travel bags into homes where young children are eager to explore. Dr. Greg talks with Kyle Bryan, Pharm.D., practice implementation pharmacist and adjunct assistant professor of pharmacy practice and science.

If gut cleanses are supposed to help with different health conditions, why do so many people feel worse or unchanged?Gut cleanses, detoxes, and parasite protocols are often positioned as the missing piece for autoimmune thyroid conditions, but the results don't always match the promise. This conversation breaks down what people really mean when they say “gut cleanse,” where these approaches can be helpful, and why focusing only on clearing things out can leave the immune system stuck in high gear. It also explores how medications, detox pathways, gut repair, and nervous system balance intersect, and why timing and sequence matter more than doing “more.”If you've tried cleanses hoping they'd finally calm your symptoms, this will help you understand what may be holding you back and how to approach gut health with more clarity and confidence.

Dr. Geo sits down with Dr. Ravi Munver (Hackensack University Medical Center) to break down what's actually driving urinary symptoms, how to tell “prostate vs bladder,” when waiting too long can permanently weaken your bladder, and how today's BPH procedures compare—especially Aquablation (high-pressure, room-temperature waterjet therapy).What you'll learn in this episode• Why BPH symptoms can start earlier than most men think (and why more men are finally talking about it)• Why prostate size does NOT equal symptom severity (big prostate ≠ big problem… always)• How to distinguish “prostate obstruction” vs overactive bladder—and why you can't reliably do this without proper testing• The “danger zone”: when untreated obstruction can lead to a weakened/crippled bladder• Medication options: what each class does, who it's for, and the most common side effects• The full “toolbox” of procedures—from office-based options to the most durable surgical solutions• Why Aquablation is changing the conversation (symptom relief + low sexual side effects + broad size range)Episode chapters (timestamps)00:00:00 00:02:00 Why younger men are showing up with urinary symptoms Prostate growth patterns (growth early, pause, then growth again in the 40s); increased awareness, openness, and access to information.00:07:00 “Blame the organ you have” — prostate vs overactive bladder Why symptoms overlap; why only a clinician can truly differentiate causes.00:10:00 When should a man see a urologist? When symptoms interfere with life (work, travel, sleep). The real issue is often difficulty returning to sleep.00:13:00 The risk of waiting: bladder decompensation How long-term obstruction can lead to a weakened bladder and urinary retention.00:18:00 The holistic patient scenario + why objective testing matters Why symptoms can “seem better” while retention worsens; importance of measuring PVR and other tests.00:21:00 Medications for BPH—pros/cons• Alpha blockers: tamsulosin (Flomax), alfuzosin, silodosin (Rapaflo)• 5-alpha reductase inhibitors: finasteride, dutasteride• Tadalafil (Cialis) daily 5 mg: dual benefits for BPH + erectile function00:31:00 The modern BPH procedure toolbox TURP as the historical “gold standard,” plus lasers, robotic options, office-based procedures, and newer technologies.00:36:00 What men care about most when choosing a procedure Incontinence risk, erectile dysfunction risk, ejaculatory changes, irritative symptoms, and durability/retreatment rates.00:38:00 Robotic Simple Prostatectomy — what “simple” actually means Removing the obstructing inner tissue while leaving the capsule; major symptom relief for large prostates, with tradeoffs (especially ejaculation).00:43:00Aquablation explained (high-pressure water therapy) Image-guided treatment planning + robotic waterjet tissue removal with minimal thermal damage.00:48:00 Durability and size range Discussion of longer-term data vs TURP and why Aquablation can treat very large prostates.00:51:00 If Aquablation isn't available—what's next best? How options shift based on prostate size and the priority to preserve ejaculation vs maximize durability.00:54:00 Final guidance + where to find Dr. Munver Individualized care; find a urologist who can offer a broad set of options.___________________________________

Dr. Isabelle Amigues unpacks why patients often recover better, faster, and more deeply in a supportive group. From mirror neurons and oxytocin to vagus nerve activation and the power of clinician belief, she explains how community and medicine accelerates remission—then previews UnabridgedMD's upcoming physician-led healing cohorts.What You'll Learn:From competition to collaboration: How traditional, competitive medical training contrasts with the superior outcomes of team-based care—and why adding patients to the care team elevates results.The brain science of group healingMirror neurons: observing others practice skills (e.g., injections, PT) improves your own learning and adherence.Oxytocin up, cortisol down: group practices (breath, chant, yoga) boost bonding hormones and reduce stress chemistry—fertile ground for recovery.Vagus nerve / parasympathetic activation: group rituals nudge the nervous system into “rest-and-repair,” lowering inflammation.Placebo power, reframed: Why clinician belief and a supportive cohort measurably enhance outcomes (a reason trials are double-blind)—and how to harness that effect ethically.Mindset shapes pain: Attention directs perception; scanning for what's working reduces pain. Group programs for chronic pain (e.g., back pain) consistently show greater relief and fewer relapses than going solo.Medication and milieu: Biologics and DMARDs are powerful tools, but outcomes improve further when paired with community practices that activate anti-inflammatory pathways.Safety, accountability, momentum: Groups create a psychologically safe space to try new habits, show up consistently, and stay on track—especially valuable in rheumatologic conditions.What's next at UnabridgedMD: A webinar and physician-led community cohorts designed to help patients reach and sustain remission through evidence-based medical care plus group-based nervous-system and lifestyle practices.If a trusted group could help you heal 25–40% faster, what habit or symptom would you choose to transform first?

On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss “Holiday Heart,” AKA atrial fabulation (A-Fib) when the heart beats like a bag of worms and is caused by excessive drinking alcohol and binge-drinking. It can really lead to A-fib, put you in the hospital and ruin the festivities and celebration. Doug and Dr. Ken agree that alcohol is overrated. They aren't alone. Statistics indicate that fewer and fewer people are drinking and less alcohol is being sold than years prior. Then, the conversation switches to the flu and a rapidly increasing number of flu-related hospitalizations. This year, the flu is not a single strain, showing mutations allowing it to evade current flu vaccines. Shifting focus to longevity and health, Doug and Dr. Ken address research on populations with super-agers shows they don't eat a lot of meat. For instance, many in Japan who live mostly on fish products tend to live an average of at least 10 years longer than those who eat meats. Additionally, those who eat highly processed meats tend to live shorter lives. Listener questions addressed include heightened digestive problems due to the holidays, how do we know what medications are best for us and how to trust Big Pharma, and much more. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

Most people don't actually want to live to 90 or 100. Not because they don't love life—but because they're afraid of what those extra years might look like. Loss of independence. Chronic pain. Medications. Watching their world slowly shrink. When people say, "I don't want to live that long," what they're really saying is, "I don't want to live like that."   In the first episode of this new Year series, Ted reframes the entire conversation around aging. Instead of asking how long you'll live, he asks a more important question: How well will you live? Ted talks about healthspan—the years you remain strong, mobile, mentally sharp, and independent—and explains why it matters far more than lifespan alone.   He also breaks down why so much age-related decline is driven by lifestyle, not genetics, why modern healthcare focuses on crisis instead of prevention, and which core pillars actually determine how you age.   If you want 2026 to be the year you stop fearing the future and start building a body—and a life—that lasts, this is where the conversation begins. Listen now!    You'll learn:  How metabolic dysfunction silently accelerates aging  The role of muscle, strength, and power in maintaining independence  Why cardiovascular fitness and VO₂ max are strong predictors of longevity  How visceral fat drives inflammation and chronic disease  Why weight loss alone doesn't fix metabolic health    What Ted discusses in this episode:   (00:00) Introduction  (02:00) The Reality of Aging and Healthcare  (04:38) The Longevity Masterclass: Healthspan vs. Lifespan  (14:32) The Importance of Metabolic Health  (17:12) Muscle Strength and Power: Your Aging Insurance Policy  (18:36) Heart Aging and VO2 Max  (19:50) Brain Aging and Lifestyle Factors  (21:45) Series Overview and Conclusion 

What if you could lose 20 or even 30 pounds—and still be marching straight toward diabetes, fatty liver disease, or early heart disease?  In Part 1 of this New Year Series, Ted reframed the entire conversation around aging by explaining why longevity isn't about living longer, but about extending healthspan—the years you remain strong, mobile, mentally sharp, and independent.  >>> Click here for part 1  In Part, he tackles one of the most dangerous misconceptions in modern health: the belief that weight loss automatically equals health. In an era of GLP-1 medications, more people are losing weight than ever—but metabolic disease continues to rise. Ted explains why this disconnect exists and why weight loss is only the lowest bar of health, not the finish line.   He also breaks down what metabolic health actually means and explains the critical role of muscle, cardiovascular fitness, blood sugar control, and lifestyle habits in determining how you feel today and how you'll age tomorrow.  If you've ever assumed that losing weight was enough, this discussion will challenge that belief—and show you what needs to come next.    You'll learn:  Why weight loss alone does not guarantee metabolic health  How obesity rates can fall while diabetes and fatty liver disease rise  What metabolic health really means—and why only a small percentage of adults have it  Where GLP-1 medications fit—and where they fall short   Why healthspan—not lifespan—should be the real goal after 40    What Ted discusses in this episode:    (00:00) Introduction   (02:19) The Reality of Metabolic Health   (03:51) Understanding Metabolic Health and Its Importance   (16:16) The Role of GLP-1 Medications   (21:05) The Importance of Muscle and Preventing Muscle Loss   (23:19) Weight Regain and Long-Term Health   (25:48) Conclusion: Building Real Health Beyond Weight Loss 

Medication mismanagement is one of the most costly and preventable problems in healthcare as it impacts patient safety, outcomes, and billions in annual spending. In this episode, we're joined by Yoona Kim, who cofounded Arine to use AI-driven medication intelligence for improving patient outcomes. Join us in a conversation about the key factors that contribute to medication errors, why culturally sensitive care is central to Arine's approach, and how smarter use of data can shape future healthcare policy.Yoona Kim is the co-founder and CEO of the healthcare technology company Arine. After studying human biology at Stanford, she was trained as both a pharmacist (PharmD from the University of California San Francisco) and health economist (PhD from the University of Texas at Austin). She previously served as Vice President at Proteus Digital Health and held leadership positions in research and consulting at global pharmaceutical companies.

Is medication meant to help us heal, or has it quietly begun to replace the slow work of sanctification?In this Thinking Through episode, Jonathan Kindler steps into one of the most sensitive conversations today: the rise of mental health medication and the growing confusion around what pills can help and what they can never do. With clarity, care, and biblical depth, he explores the SSRI boom, cultural promises of relief, and the quiet pressure to medicate pain that Scripture invites us to walk through with God.Blending Scripture, neuroscience, humor, and pastoral reflection, this episode refuses easy answers. Instead, it holds tension: honoring medication as a possible mercy while drawing a clear line where only the Spirit can work. Through stories from Scripture and the counseling room, Jonathan invites listeners to rethink peace, suffering, and what true transformation actually requires.Whether you are taking medication, considering it, or wrestling with how faith and mental health intersect, this episode calls you to slow down, think biblically, and trust God with both relief and formation.Visit:Instagram: soundmind.live

In youth, binge eating is often marked by loss of control eating (LOC-E), defined as difficulty stopping eating and persistent, compulsive food-seeking behaviors that occur even in the absence of physical hunger. In this podcast, Dr. Aaron Keshen discusses his article, titled, "Reduction of Loss of Control Eating in Youth With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Following Initiation of Stimulant Medication: A Prospective Study." In their article, the authors describe a prospective observational study that aimed to examine changes in LOC-E over a 3-month period in youth with comorbid attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and LOC-E who initiated stimulant medication.   The other authors are Colby Price, Elena Koning, Anastasia L. Harris, Nami Trappenberg, Anja Hilbert, Sara Bartel, Jill Chorney, Laura Dixon, Joseph Sadek, Guido K.W. Frank, Victoria Taylor, Wanda Rasmussen, Hanif Chatur, Drew Yamada, and Stuart B. Murray. The article is published in the January-February 2026 issue of The Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology. doi: 10.1097/JCP.0000000000002106

In this episode, Coach Debbie reveals why your thyroid isn't the problem — your cellular environment is. Learn how vagus nerve dysfunction, LPS, H. pylori, low stomach acid, sluggish bile, and mitochondrial stress block T4 → T3 conversion and prevent T3 (even medication!) from entering your cells. Debbie shares her personal case study connecting GI-MAP, MEScreen mitochondrial testing, blood chemistry, HRV, and vagus nerve suppression to low T3 activation, slow metabolism, and performance plateaus. Key topics: • Why T3 meds don't always work • How LPS blocks thyroid hormone • Gut–vagus–thyroid connection • Bile flow + fat-burning • Mitochondria + metabolism • How stress shuts down thyroid activation Pulsetto Vagus Nerve Stimulation:

For the past half century, Americans have been told that psychiatric drugs fix chemical imbalances in the brain. But this is nothing but a myth, says journalist Robert Whitaker.Whitaker is the publisher of MadInAmerica.com and is known for his influential critiques of modern psychiatry and psychiatric drug treatment.It was hypothesized that depression was due to too little serotonin and that schizophrenia was caused by too much dopamine—and that drugs could fix that, just like insulin for diabetes. But that was never backed up by evidence, Whitaker said.“That was the story that was used to sell a whole second generation of psychiatric drugs and dramatically expand the psychiatric enterprise worldwide,” he said.In 1999, Whitaker co-wrote a series of articles for the Boston Globe on psychiatric research and became a finalist for the 1999 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, thereby establishing his reputation in this field. Later, he served as director of publications at Harvard Medical School.“We have this story that we're making great progress in diagnosing and treating mental disorders,” he told me.U.S. spending on treating mental disorders has risen substantially over the past decades, from tens of billions in the late 1980s to more than $100 billion per year today. But there is no evidence, he says, that these drugs improve long-term outcomes. On the contrary, there is plenty of evidence that psychiatric drugs can actually make things worse, he says.“They actually cause chemical imbalances, increase the chronicity of disorders, increase functional impairment, and you see rising disability rates wherever you see this paradigm of care adopted,” he says.Certain antipsychotics for schizophrenia, for instance, can actually reduce brain tissue, particularly in the first year, and that's been associated with cognitive decline and a worsening of symptoms.Evidence shows that other countries, including developing nations, that have not adopted this same approach have seen much better outcomes, he says.In this episode, he breaks down his findings from decades of studying this issue. Whitaker is the author of “Mad in America” and “Anatomy of an Epidemic.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik Chakraborty sits down with Bud Kraus, creator of the podcast Seriously Bud, for a real conversation about living with chronic depression, seasonal affective disorder and suicidal ideation. Bud shares what “silent suffering” looked like for him, why so many people mask pain with humor and what actually helped him move one day at a time. They talk about practical coping tools, getting support without shame, the role of counseling and medication and how purpose and family can shift your relationship with mental health over time. If you're navigating depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts or emotional burnout, this episode focuses on grounded support, honest language and why asking for help is a strength at any age. About the Guest: Bud Kraus is a long-time educator and creator in the WordPress community and the host of Seriously Bud, a human-story podcast exploring life journeys, resilience and reinvention. He speaks openly about his experience with depression and suicidal ideation and how support systems, creativity and meaning helped him move forward. Key Takeaways: Depression can be chronic and still invisible. Bud describes how people often use a “happy face” while privately struggling with mental health. Seasonal shifts can amplify symptoms. He names winter and shorter days as a trigger pattern tied to seasonal affective disorder. Normalize asking direct questions. A pivotal moment came when someone finally asked Bud if he had suicidal thoughts, helping him realize those thoughts aren't “normal” for most people. Progress is usually a small pivot, not a miracle moment. Bud points to finding a trusted professional and structured support as a turning point. Coping can be practical and personal. For Bud, playing guitar created short-term relief and mental transport when the day felt unmanageable. Medication and therapy can be part of a healthy toolkit. He frames both as support options, not moral judgments. Purpose can return later than you expect. Bud ties healing to relationships, family and future joy that felt impossible during darker seasons.

Welcome to episode #250!

Many people start T3 medication hoping for more energy and mental clarity—only to end up feeling wired, anxious, or unable to sleep. In this episode of Thyroid Shorts, Dr. Eric Balcavage explains why too much or too little T3 can both amplify anxiety and insomnia, and how to restore calm by shifting from defense mode to recovery mode. You'll learn how the brain's fear center (the amygdala) interprets stress, how local T3 activity inside the brain differs from global thyroid output, and why "state before hormone" is the key to lasting recovery. Featuring insights from two pivotal papers: Psychoneuroendocrinology (2024): Evidence for thyroid hormone regulation of amygdala-dependent fear relevant memory and plasticity PLoS ONE (2011): Adult-Onset Hypothyroidism Enhances Fear Memory and Up-regulates Mineralocorticoid and Glucocorticoid Receptors in the Amygdala Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro – Is T3 causing your anxiety and insomnia? 02:00 – Input → Interpretation → Response: how the brain reads threat 05:00 – The amygdala as the body's alarm system 08:00 – The Threat Perception Loop and defense physiology 11:00 – Local vs global thyroid adaptation: T3 in the amygdala 13:00 – The T3 Paradox: too little vs too much T3 17:00 – Shifting from defense to recovery mode 19:00 – Key takeaways & how to calm the system before adjusting hormone Key Takeaway: Your thyroid follows your brain's perception of safety. Calming the nervous system restores efficient T3 conversion—without overstimulation.

Matt examines the critical link between sleep quality and Alzheimer's pathology. He details the brain's "night shift" - the glymphatic system - which actively flushes out toxins like amyloid beta during deep sleep. Listeners learn how even a single night of deprivation can spike harmful tau levels by 50%, effectively accelerating brain aging.The discussion pivots to dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs), a drug class that quiets wakefulness rather than forcing sedation. Matt highlights research from Dr. Brendan Lucey and Dr. David Holtzman showing these agents may lower toxic proteins and preserve the hippocampus. Despite this therapeutic promise, he emphasizes that natural sleep remains the ultimate gold standard for neuroprotection.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.One of this week's sponsors, LMNT, offers a science-based electrolyte drink with no sugar or artificial ingredients.

What if the key to healing your body has nothing to do with diet, supplements, or workouts—and everything to do with energy, intention, and love?This week I'm speaking with Ian Mitchell, the chemist behind Wizard Sciences and one of the leading voices in quantum biology. His work is being studied in universities and used by elite athletes, biohackers, and doctors around the world.Ian has seen WiFi throw your cells out of balance—and watched a small quantum device bring them back into harmony in minutes. He's used stem cells from a person's own blood to reverse colorblindness. And after decades of research, he's come to believe the most advanced technology in the universe isn't artificial intelligence or stem cells — it's kindness.Listen to this episode if you've ever wondered why you can eat clean, meditate, and still feel misaligned — if you've felt there's something deeper guiding your healing, waiting to be understood.Episode Links & Resources:Wizard Sciences Website: https://wizardsciences.com/Follow Ian on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ianmitchell1/Connect with Tracy:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tracyduhs.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠Hydration Shop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sanctuarysd.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@tracyduhs⁠⁠⁠⁠Flow FAM Community: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/

Researchers from the University of Tartu found that nearly 90% of 186 common medications affected gut composition, and almost half left long-lasting microbial changes that persisted years after use ended Antibiotics caused the strongest and most persistent gut disruption, with measurable microbial shifts still evident six months after use and cumulative effects worsening with each additional treatment course Non-antibiotic drugs like benzodiazepines, beta-blockers, glucocorticoids, and proton pump inhibitors also altered microbial composition Long-term medication use explained more variation in gut microbiome composition than current prescriptions. This shows that the gut retains a biological "memory" of past pharmaceutical exposures Restoring gut health starts by reducing unnecessary medications, avoiding vegetable oils, and eating whole foods that help beneficial bacteria recover and rebuild balance over time
