Patrick Bet-David and Rhonda Patrick dive into the gut microbiome and its impact on inflammation, brain health, anxiety, and aging. They break down LPS, leaky gut, probiotics, fermentable fiber, and how diet and exercise shape your mood, cognition, and long-term health.

In this investigative solo deep dive, Darin exposes the ongoing PFAS contamination crisis, the "forever chemicals" found in drinking water, clothing, carpets, cookware, cosmetics, food packaging, and even firefighting foam. Sparked by a Frontline investigation into the carpet industry in Dalton, Georgia, this episode expands far beyond one region and reveals a global supply chain problem affecting nearly every American. This episode is urgent. With 99% of people showing measurable PFAS levels in their blood, this is not about fear. It's about sovereignty. It's about awareness. It's about eliminating silent accumulation and reclaiming control over your environment. This is not luxury health. This is foundational freedom.     In This Episode What PFAS are and why they're called "forever chemicals" The Dalton, Georgia carpet industry case and wastewater contamination Internal corporate knowledge from 3M and DuPont decades ago Why PFAS contamination is global, not regional Everyday exposure: waterproof clothing, yoga pants, school uniforms, outdoor gear Nonstick cookware and safer alternatives Microwave popcorn bags and grease-resistant packaging Cosmetics, mascara, and fluorinated compounds Firefighting foam contamination at airports and military bases Health impacts: immune suppression, thyroid disruption, cancer risk Why water filtration is your first line of defense Emerging detox strategies: fiber, blood donation, microbiome support The role of regulation rollbacks and corporate accountability Algae-based PFAS alternatives already entering the market     Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife: sovereignty, health, and responsibility 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Truniagen NAD supplement 00:02:17 – Why this PFAS episode is urgent and investigative 00:03:07 – The Frontline documentary: Dalton, Georgia & carpet contamination 00:04:31 – What PFAS / PFOA actually do and why they were adopted 00:05:45 – "Miracle chemistry" without proper safety testing 00:06:07 – Persistence: PFAS do not break down in the environment 00:06:38 – Wastewater discharge & farmland contamination 00:07:50 – Dead livestock, contaminated groundwater & generational impact 00:08:23 – 3M, DuPont, internal documents & decades of corporate knowledge 00:08:52 – Long-chain vs short-chain PFAS replacements 00:09:20 – Clothing exposure: waterproof jackets, yoga pants, uniforms 00:10:24 – Cookware exposure & safer alternatives 00:10:57 – Cosmetics & Environmental Working Group resources 00:11:17 – Sponsor: Shakeology & seven layers of quality testing 00:13:03 – Lack of labeling transparency 00:13:20 – Firefighting foam & military base contamination 00:14:05 – Health risks: immune suppression, thyroid, cholesterol, cancer 00:14:35 – 99% of Americans have PFAS in their blood 00:15:01 – Erin Brockovich & environmental legal activism 00:15:33 – Personal action step #1: Reverse osmosis water filtration 00:16:04 – Testing well water & municipal pressure 00:16:28 – Personal action step #2: Eliminating household exposures 00:17:25 – Emerging research: oat beta glucan fiber 00:18:03 – Firefighter study: blood donation lowering PFAS levels 00:18:32 – Microbiome & mycelium detox research 00:18:56 – Moving beyond fear into empowered action 00:19:23 – Phasing out toxic clothing & upgrading environment gradually 00:20:15 – Stockholm Convention & global treaties 00:20:52 – EPA regulations & rollback frustrations 00:21:19 – Innovation outrunning safety 00:21:50 – Share this episode & create consumer pressure 00:22:28 – Clean water, clean soil, clean products as human rights 00:22:54 – Terem Labs & algae-based PFAS alternatives 00:23:27 – Building a safe home environment as first step 00:24:15 – Final call to action: demand transparency & push reform     Thank You to Our Sponsors Shakeology: Get 15% off with code DARINO1BODI at Shakeology.com.

Send a textIf your gut isn't healthy, nothing else works the way it should—your hormones, metabolism, mood, or immune system included.In this episode, Kristin and Gina break down gut health from the ground up, helping you understand why digestion is the control center of the body—and why healing the gut often unlocks progress everywhere else. Gut health isn't just about bloating or bathroom habits; it's about how your body absorbs nutrients, regulates hormones, manages stress, and maintains energy.We explain what gut health actually means in simple terms, from the microbiome to the gut lining, and connect it directly to real-life struggles like PMS, acne, fatigue, cravings, stubborn weight, and thyroid issues. You'll also learn how poor digestion can recycle estrogen, disrupt blood sugar, and keep cortisol elevated—even when you're “doing everything right.”If you've been normalizing symptoms like bloating, food sensitivities, skin issues, anxiety, or feeling exhausted after meals, this episode will help you see them for what they are: messages from your body.We close with foundational gut-supportive habits anyone can start with—no extreme protocols, no overwhelm—just simple shifts that create lasting change when done consistently.✨ In this episode, we cover:Why gut health is the foundation of hormone balanceHow digestion impacts estrogen, thyroid, blood sugar, and stress hormonesCommon signs your gut is asking for supportWhy supplements don't work if digestion is compromisedSimple daily habits that support healing from the inside out

Colleen Cutcliffe (Pendulum Therapeutics) is a doctor of biochemistry and microbiology and CEO and co-founder of Pendulum Therapeutics. Colleen joins the Armchair Expert to discuss starting a microbiome supplement company inspired by her premature daughter who had to take antibiotics, applying hyenas' evolved ability to digest rotting meat to study gut bacteria, and how fecal transplants reliably help treat C. diff. Colleen and Dax talk about the real linkages between microbiome and depression, obesity, and more, how the body's natural GLP1s function, and why a healthy gut is a resilient gut. Colleen explains her wooden fence analogy to illustrate leaky guy syndrome, remarkable results from experiments giving mice Akkermansia, and that the beauty of the microbiome is that everything is recoverable.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Toni sits down with Billy Hoekman, Vice President of Nutrition and Communication for Green Juju, for a deep dive into functional pet nutrition and gut health. Billy shares the evolution of Green Juju—from its "Just Greens" beginnings to a broader mission rooted in microbiome diversity and whole-food formulation. The conversation centers on building resilience in dogs through fiber diversity, fermented foods, raw goat's milk, bone broth, and species-appropriate raw diets. Billy explains how gut health, nutrient density, and whole-food sourcing work together to support immune strength and long-term vitality. This episode offers both science-backed insight and practical feeding philosophy, highlighting how thoughtful formulation and real food can create healthier, more resilient dogs.

For this episode of Brave New World, Evgeny is joined by Dr Sabine Donnai, a physician specialising in precision medicine, preventive health and the founder of Viavi Healthcare. Together, they explore brain health beyond standard scans, discussing how gut function, inflammation, environmental exposure, and stress interact over time. Drawing on Evgeny's own test results, Sabine uses her trademark pragmatism to explain why she believes long-term cognitive resilience starts with fixing the basics - particularly the gut – and gives the listener some touchstone takeaways to improve their daily health. For anyone interested in practical measures you can install in your day-to-day, this episode is for you.This episode was produced by Message Heard and The Standard.Producer: Florence de SchlichtingProduction Coordinator: James CoxProduction Manager: Kirsty McLeanVideo Editor: Nani WenaniThe London Standard team:Joe BromleyWill Rogers-Coltman Hosted on Acast.

Get Dr. Vonda's latest insights on strength, bone health, longevity, and aging with power delivered straight to your inbox. Join her free health & longevity newsletter here: https://www.drvondawright.com/resources/aging-longevity   I've spent years focusing on your external mobility, but I've become obsessed with the world living inside you. We used to think of the gut as just a digestion tube; now we know it's a thriving ecosystem and a metabolic pharmacy that dictates your weight, mood, and longevity. If you're doing "everything right" but still struggling with energy, the issue isn't your willpower, it's your microbiome.   In this episode, I sit down with researcher Dr. Karen Corbin to decode the gut's "black box." We're moving beyond basic digestion to explore how fiber triggers the same satiety hormones as modern weight-loss injections. Stop viewing food as mere calories and start seeing it as fuel for your internal garden. It's time to stop fighting your biology and start partnering with your bacteria to design a resilient future from the inside out. What we cover: - How your gut bacteria produce Butyrate, a "magic" compound that heals the gut and lowers inflammation. - The science of how fiber and resistant starch signal your brain to feel full and satisfied. - Why ultra-processed foods are "too easy" for our bodies to digest, leading to metabolic disaster. - Why "industrial milling" is the hidden enemy of metabolic health, turning even "healthy" grains into rapid glucose spikes by making them too easy to digest. - Why your choices at dinner determine your blood sugar response to breakfast the next morning, proving that your microbiome works on a 12-to-24-hour cycle. - Understanding that because every person's "internal garden" is unique, the same "healthy" food can cause a sugar spike in one person while keeping another perfectly stable. - Exploring the deep connection between the health of your microbiome and the energy-producing engines in your cells that drive your vitality.   About Dr Karen Corbin: Dr. Karen Corbin is a PhD researcher and keynote speaker at the forefront of precision nutrition with Advent Health. She has dedicated her career to decoding the "black box" of the microbiome, revealing how our internal pharmacy dictates metabolic health and longevity.   Connect with Dr Karen Corbin: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/karen-corbin-phd-rd-75229111 Website: https://www.geeksthatspeak.com/ Timestamps 00:00 Intro 01:46 Meet Your Microbes: The Colon as a Metabolism 'Show' 05:58 How the Microbiome 'Talks' to You: SCFAs, Bloodstream & the Vagus Nerve 09:28 Feed the Good Guys: Fiber, Mucus Barrier & 'Leaky Gut' Explained 14:23 Aging, Exercise, Antibiotics & Hormones: What Changes in Perimenopause 18:27 Prebiotics vs Probiotics vs Synbiotics: Yogurt, Capsules & What Actually Helps 22:24 Can You Test Your Microbiome?

Elevate your health starting with the foundation. In this episode, Ellie sits down with Katie to unpack why gut-first healing matters and how true restoration goes far beyond probiotics, cleanses, or symptom suppression. Together, they explore how the gut microbiome influences digestion, hormones, immunity, inflammation, mood, and energy — and why so many people stay stuck when they guess instead of test. Katie shares what she sees clinically, the most common gut patterns holding clients back, and how data-driven functional testing, including comprehensive stool testing from Vibrant America, brings clarity and precision to the healing process. You'll also learn more about GutWell, Katie's 6-month, practitioner-led gut restoration program designed to rebalance the microbiome, uncover root digestive dysfunction, and restore whole-body vitality through personalized protocols, targeted nutrition, and ongoing clinical support. This conversation is for anyone dealing with chronic digestive symptoms, hormone imbalance, inflammation, food sensitivities, or the feeling that their body just isn't responding — even when they're “doing all the right things.” Inside this episode: Why surface-level gut fixes often fail What functional stool testing reveals that standard labs miss How the microbiome impacts hormones, immunity, and the nervous system What makes the GutWell Program different from one-time consults or cleanses Who gut restoration is truly for — and when deeper support is needed

In this video, I share an excerpt from my book Life After Menopause, focusing on the final “E” in the EMBRACE protocol - Elimination - and why gut and microbiome health becomes so important after menopause. Your gut's role is far more than just digestion. It influences inflammation, immunity, nutrient absorption, hormone balance, weight, mood and brain health. Hormonal changes after menopause, combined with years of diet, stress and medications, can significantly affect the gut microbiome, with wide ranging effects on how we age.In this episode, you'll learn:what the gut microbiome is and why it's often called the “second brain”how menopause affects gut health, hormone metabolism and the gut–brain axissimple, practical ways to support your microbiome through diet and lifestyleI also explain when lifestyle changes aren't enough and why testing can provide clarity. Towards the end of the video, you'll learn about our new Microbiome Explorer test, an advanced gut microbiome test using metagenomic sequencing to show not just which microbes are present, but what they are doing in the gut.This episode is based on an excerpt from Life After Menopause; https://happyhormonesforlife.com/life-after-menopause.If you'd like more information about Microbiome Explorer or working with us, please get in touch - https://happyhormonesforlife.com/contact

Today I'm joined by Professor Valter Longo to unpack what actually slows biological ageing, and what most women are getting wrong about fasting, protein, and diet. We explore the difference between chronological age and biological age, how biological ageing is measured, and why chasing extreme fasting or high-protein trends may quietly undermine long-term health. Professor Longo shares decades of research behind the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD), explains why most popular fasting protocols may increase cardiovascular risk, and outlines the dietary patterns consistently linked to the world's longest-living populations. This conversation cuts through longevity hype with evidence from human trials, centenarian studies, and 100 years of ageing research, offering a grounded, practical framework for improving healthspan without extremes. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • The real difference between chronological age and biological age – and how it's measured • Why blood biomarkers may be more reliable than epigenetic ageing clocks right now • What organ-specific ageing clocks reveal about hidden health risks • How long it actually takes to activate meaningful autophagy in humans • Why most intermittent fasting protocols may increase heart disease risk • The science behind the 5-day Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) • FMD vs water fasting: gut health, muscle preservation, and safety • Why skipping breakfast is linked to higher cardiovascular mortality • The optimal daily eating window for longevity (and why 12 hours matters) • How often to use FMD for longevity, metabolic health, and disease prevention • Why excess protein may accelerate ageing and disease risk • How much protein humans actually need for longevity • The ideal macronutrient balance for healthspan and lifespan • How nutrition consistently outperforms exercise for lifespan extension • Practical longevity habits around sleep, stress, and lifestyle timing Timestamps 00:00 Intro: Biological Age vs Chronological Age 04:03 Organ-Specific Ageing: Why One Age Score Can Be Misleading 06:15 Autophagy Explained: How Long It Really Takes in Humans 08:59 The Longevity Diet & Fasting Mimicking Diet Explained 11:26 Why Most Fasting Protocols May Be Harmful Long-Term 16:58 Skipping Breakfast, Cholesterol & Heart Disease Risk 18:36 Water Fasting vs FMD: Gut Health, Microbiome & Muscle Loss 35:03 Protein Intake Myths: Muscle, Ageing & Disease Risk 42:46 Sleep, Stress & Lifestyle Factors That Extend Healthspan VALUABLE RESOURCES A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: • MitoQ NAD+

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared sits down with returning guest Jamie Cotter, national educator for WishGarden Herbs, to break down immunity in a way that actually makes sense. Instead of treating the immune system as a one-size-fits-all problem, Jamie explains the four distinct phases of immunity—daily immune maintenance, early onset, active illness, and recovery—and why each phase benefits from a different herbal strategy. You'll learn how tonic herbs support baseline immune resilience, why timing and dosing matter when symptoms first appear, and how targeted herbal formulas can support the body during active immune challenges and lingering recovery phases. This episode empowers listeners to better understand their own immune responses and make informed choices about herbal support, seasonal wellness routines, and immune preparedness—without fear, hype, or guesswork.Products Discussed:Daily ImmuneKick-Ass ImmuneSerious V-FighterDeep LungKick-Ass BioticGet Over It!Buy 4 or more Wishgarden products from HERE and get 25% off through March 7, 2026!Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Most people don't hear of the dramatic effects a ketogenic lifestyle provides to your microbiome, you gut health. I came to Keto through my personal research back in 2012 looking for something to help my own gut health crisis of UC and crohns. I was curious if the 'butyrate' that was produced in ketosis was similar to the butyrate that is the 'prefered fuel' for the large intestine or if it would at least have similar effects. It did and allowed me to reclaim my health all against medical advice.—————————COME SAY HI!!!  ——————————Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/482971/episodesFacebook Group about Keto: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ketonaturopath/BLOG: https://ketonaturopath.com/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/ketonaturopathYouTube channelwww.youtube.com/ketonaturopathJudi's NEW cooking channelKeto Naturopath Kitchenhttps://www.youtube.com/c/KetoNaturopathKitchen———————————  OUR COURSE ——————————PSMF 30 day course: https://www.thebiointegrationcode.com/courses/PSMFChallenge———————————  WHERE WE GET OUR WINE (an affiliate link) ——————————Dry farm wineswww.dryfarmwines.com/ketonaturopath—————————Where we get our Genome SNP analysis done ———————————Strategenehttps://bit.ly/3iqCfka————————————Where you can get your labs done——————————————https://www.UltaLabTests.com/ketonaturopath————————————  WHERE WE BUY OUR SUPPLEMENTS  ————————————Wellevate: https://wellevate.me/karl-goldkamp   or call them: 855-935-5382How to use Wellevate https://youtu.be/1ulC0LLIc5cWhy get a Wellevate account to get your supplements??1.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, we continue Formula Face Off with a deep dive into two popular microbiome gummies from Lemme—one designed for bloating and digestion, and the other positioned for daily immune support. Rather than judging hype or branding, we go straight to what matters most: the Supplement Facts panel. You'll learn why probiotic strains, CFU transparency, dosing formats, and ingredient compatibility matter far more than marketing claims. We break down probiotics vs. postbiotics, explain when spore-based strains make sense in gummies, and expose common examples of “window dressing” ingredients that look impressive but fall short of clinical relevance. We also discuss essential cofactors like vitamin K2, magnesium, and copper—and why their absence can undermine otherwise solid formulas. The goal here, as always, is to help you become a smarter, more confident supplement consumer.Products:Back on TractPrecision Probiotic Vital SporesNordic Naturals Probiotic GummiesVitality Radio POW!

Challenging the long-held assumption that sleep is a dialogue the brain has exclusively with itself, Matt investigates the "gut-brain axis"—a sophisticated communication network linking our digestive tract to the central nervous system. He details how the 100 trillion microorganisms within our intestines act as a secondary control center for rest, operating via the vagus nerve to either bolster or sabotage our nocturnal recovery. By exploring the "vicious cycle" of dysbiosis, Matt explains how sleep deprivation compromises gut permeability, which in turn triggers systemic inflammation that further fragments our sleep.Matt dissects the molecular crosstalk within Parkinson's disease, where profound sleep disturbances often accelerate the progression of the condition. He explains how the collapse of butyrate—a short-chain fatty acid produced by bacterial fermentation—disrupts the brain's sleep architecture and weakens the restorative power of delta waves. By activating the BDNF-TrkB pathway, butyrate serves as a chemical signal that fosters neural repair and dampens neuroinflammation, succeeding in restoring sleep where traditional dopamine-replacement therapies often fail.Our host further explores the rhythmic nature of the microbiome, revealing that our gut bacteria possess their own internal clocks that must synchronize with the master pacemaker in the brain. He outlines how dietary fiber and prebiotics act as the primary fuel for these "sleep-promoting" microbes, while specific probiotic strains can lower cortisol and modulate GABAergic activity to quiet the mind for rest. Ultimately, Matt suggests that the future of sleep medicine lies in the gut, emphasizing that the quality of our rest is a biological collaboration between our neurons and the ancient ecosystem residing within us.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.Podcast partner, David, is a revolutionary new protein bar developed with Dr. Peter Attia.

On this edition, we'll hear how bacteria work and move substances in and out of their cells, and how scientists understand how microbes behave together in the microbiome and affect human health. Ben Hipwell is a researcher (PhD candidate) in the bacterial regulation and transport lab at the University of Newcastle, working under Dr Karl Hassan. His research investigates mechanisms of action in bacteria, including how compounds affect bacterial physiology and transport systems in organisms like Escherichia coli — knowledge that connects to microbial regulation and transport processes. Understanding these mechanisms helps illuminate how bacterial cells control their internal environment and interact with their surroundings, which are key aspects of microbial community behaviour and important for understanding the microbiome’s dynamics and impact on health and disease.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 1-29-2026: An emailer asks about hemorrhoids affecting 2 relatives,a 60-year-old man and his 20-year-old daughter, with the daughter also experiencing constipation worsened by fiber supplements. Dr. Dawn explains hemorrhoids are essentially varicose veins of the anus, with 102 genetic regions identified affecting blood vessel and smooth muscle strength. She emphasizes that fiber supplements without adequate water create "cement in the pipe"—recommending 16-24 ounces of water with supplements and 2 liters of clear water daily. Miralax also requires sufficient hydration to work. Key strategies include exercise to stimulate gut motility, staying off the toilet if unable to produce results, using a standing desk to reduce prolonged sitting pressure, and triggering the gastrocolic reflex by eating. Dr. Dawn discusses research on the "volatilome"—volatile organic compounds in breath that reflect gut microbiome composition. Researchers using sterile mice colonized with specific bacteria could identify bacterial fingerprints through breath analysis. The technique identified disease-associated compounds for tuberculosis and malaria, and correlated specific gut bacteria with asthma severity in children. The research suggests breath testing could eventually replace stool samples for microbiome assessment and disease screening. She explains detoxification biochemistry, distinguishing between water-soluble toxins easily filtered by kidneys and fat-soluble toxins requiring liver transformation. Phase one converts fat-soluble molecules into reactive intermediates—dangerous if they linger—while phase two attaches water-soluble molecules like glutathione to neutralize them for excretion. Supporting phase two requires green tea, cruciferous vegetables, garlic, and curcumin. She cautions against extended fasting for detox, especially over age 50, as it depletes the body's detoxification resources and muscle mass. A caller asks about alkaline versus acidic water. Dr. Dawn explains you cannot alkalinize blood since kidneys maintain pH, but alkaline urine is beneficial. Rather than expensive alkaline waters, adding a pinch of baking soda achieves the same effect. Eating a 3:1 ratio of fruits, vegetables, and grains to animal products naturally alkalinizes urine. She notes lemons paradoxically alkalinize because kidneys overcompensate for the acid load. A caller asks about managing heart disease after receiving a third stent. Dr. Dawn recommends the Mediterranean diet over DASH for cardiac patients, as Mediterranean emphasizes fish, whole grains, and fiber that binds cholesterol for excretion, while DASH focuses on calcium for hypertension. She encourages exploring exercise options through meetup.com groups and the hospital's lifestyle center, emphasizing that consistent effort can reduce biological age by 3-5 years regardless of chronological age.

Can specific gut and mouth bacteria influence brain health and conditions like Parkinson's or Alzheimer's? We look at early clinical work on Lactobacillus plantarum PS128 and its potential to slow Parkinson's progression, links between gum disease and dementia, and how Lactobacillus reuteri may stimulate oxytocin. This clip explores the gut-brain and oral-brain connections, the idea of a brain microbiome, and emerging views on brain regeneration and healthy aging. ***This episode is sponsored by:NOWATCH: The compassionate health trackerConnecting body and mind with unique stress recovery insights so you can live fully today15% off with code LWBW15 at https://nowatch.com/Mojo: the app for expert-led courses in better sex.Learn from world-class sex therapists and relationship experts with courses tailored to your needs.15% off with code LiveWell15 at mymojo.com/livewellbewell***The Great British Veg OutHow to support your gut, energy, and hormones by eating more — not less.

Join her free health & longevity newsletter here: https://www.drvondawright.com/resources/aging-longevity There's a moment many women reach in midlife where things don't feel wrong but they don't feel right either. Digestion changes. Bloating appears out of nowhere. Sleep feels lighter. Inflammation lingers. And no one ever told us these systems might all be connected. I sat down with Cynthia Thurlow, a nurse practitioner and intermittent fasting expert, to talk about a topic that is still vastly underexplored in women's health: the gut microbiome during perimenopause and menopause.   So many women are told their digestive symptoms, inflammation, mood changes, or recurrent infections are just "part of aging." What Cynthia makes clear is that these experiences are deeply rooted in physiology and that when we understand what's happening, we're no longer powerless. This conversation matters because it replaces dismissal with clarity and fear with context. We examine how this topic shows up in daily life: - Why declining estrogen affects gut barrier integrity, immune response, and inflammation - How "leaky gut" can contribute to bone loss, autoimmune risk, and metabolic changes - The connection between gut health, mood, anxiety, and neurotransmitter signaling - Why fiber and short-chain fatty acids become more important in perimenopause and menopause - How fermented foods can support microbiome diversity and recovery after stress, illness, or antibiotics - The gut–vaginal microbiome connection and why improving one can support the other - How chronic stress and unprocessed trauma can accelerate hormonal aging and menopause timing   About Cynthia Thurlow: Cynthia Thurlow, NP is a nurse practitioner, intermittent fasting expert, and educator specializing in women's health, hormones, and longevity. Her work bridges functional and conventional medicine, with a focus on helping women understand the physiological changes of perimenopause and menopause through a science-based, compassionate lens.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 1-22-2026: An emailer from Canada asks about long-term Remicade (infliximab) use for her 16-year-old daughter's ulcerative colitis. Dr. Dawn explains the drug blocks tumor necrosis factor, which stops autoimmune attacks but also weakens infection defense—increasing risk of fungal infections, tuberculosis, and after about 10 years, slightly elevated blood cancer risk. She recommends the daughter practice good hygiene and mask in high-risk settings. For achieving full remission, she suggests vitamin D levels around 75-80, DHEA supplementation, strict gluten avoidance due to its pro-inflammatory effects, and working with a certified functional medicine practitioner to heal the gut and potentially withdraw medication. Dr. Dawn presents a case study of a 27-year-old woman with progressive weakness, pins-and-needles sensations, and impaired balance. Despite normal B12 blood levels, elevated homocysteine and methylmalonic acid revealed functional B12 deficiency from using 20-30 nitrous oxide whippets daily. Nitrous oxide oxidizes the cobalt atom in methylcobalamin, permanently inactivating the enzyme needed for myelin sheath maintenance. Treatment requires months of daily B12 injections with recovery taking up to 84 weeks. She warns that nitrous oxide also interacts dangerously with Viagra-type drugs (causing dangerous blood pressure drops), methotrexate, stimulants, hallucinogens, and respiratory depressants. She describes Canadian researchers developing a miniaturized 3D printer for vocal cord repair. After removing nodules that cause hoarseness, the device prints hydrogel along the wound to create a flat surface preventing keloid-like regrowth, rather like spackling a wall before healing occurs underneath. Dr. Dawn discusses lipoprotein(a), written as Lap(a), a genetic cardiovascular risk factor discovered in the 1960s. This relative of LDL carries a protein that promotes blood clots, thus raising heart attack and stroke risks. In a recent large survey, only about 14% of people have been screened despite its significance. New drugs like pelicarsin can reduce Lp(a) levels up to 80%,trials underway to confirm a benefit of reduced cardiac events. She notes tennis star Arthur Ashe had high Lp(a) contributing to his coagulopathy. A natural option is already available. She recommends lumbrokinase, derived from earthworms and used in traditional Chinese medicine, as an existing treatment that combats high Lp(a) and counteracts its procoagulant effects. The product Boluoke is commercially available, offering an alternative to high-dose niacin which causes intolerable flushing and diarrhea. Dr. Dawn reports research finding people with anxiety disorders have 8% lower choline levels in brain regions regulating emotion. Increasing choline could help. Choline sources include eggs (two eggs provide 300mg of the 500mg daily choline need), organ meats, salmon, soybeans, and lecithin supplements.

Outside of a yeast infection, do you know how to gauge the health of your primary sexual organ? If not, you're not alone. Most ladies know very little (if anything) about vaginal health, and Dr. Sarah Pederson wants to help change that. In today's episode, she addresses the most common mistakes made in caring for yourself "down there" and provides tips for topics like lubricants, discharges, and more.NOTE: This episode is not appropriate for all audiences; it does include frequent use of anatomical terms.GUEST BIO: Sarah Pederson, MD, is a board-certified OB/GYN and CEO of Vera Health and Fertility, where she leads with a personalized, holistic approach to women's health.

In the first episode of MAHA Living, hosts Jordan Sather and Nate Prince introduce the show's mission and dive into the critical role the microbiome plays in overall health. The conversation explores how gut bacteria influence immune function, mood, neurotransmitter production, and disease resistance, while also examining the connection between the gut, brain, and environment. Jordan and Nate break down the balance between good and bad bacteria, the impact of antibiotics, processed foods, stress, and over-sanitization, and why modern health practices often ignore the microbiome entirely. The episode also expands beyond the body, discussing soil microbiomes, regenerative agriculture, and how environmental health directly affects food quality and human resilience. Packed with research, real-world examples, and practical insights, this episode lays the foundation for understanding why microbiome health is central to long-term wellness and why it deserves far more attention than it receives today.

Have you been told that diet doesn't matter for advanced-stage colon cancer? This is false!

Heterogeneous2. Sick and living on the edge3. Metabolically inflexible 4. Originates from damaged mitochondria Insulin resistance is one of the most significant contributors to cancer risk. Insulin resistance can lead to metabolic inflexibility. Cancer also migrates to areas of inflammation. Microbiome disruption damages the microbes that protect the body against cancer. Toxicity caused by alcohol, smoking, and pesticides can also increase the risk of cancer.When you combine these risk factors, you significantly increase your risk of developing cancer.Colon cells get their fuel from a compound called butyrate, which is produced when a microbe consumes fiber. Butyrate strengthens the colon's lining, supports its function, and has potent anti-inflammatory properties. Fiber has protective properties against cancer, but if your gut microbiome is compromised, it can make matters worse. The more advanced the cancer you have, the more you'll need to do prolonged fasting. This stresses the cancer cells and deprives them of fuel. The fasting-mimicking diet is also beneficial. If you haven't been diagnosed with cancer, periodic prolonged fasting can help with prevention. High doses of vitamin D3, sun exposure, and oxygen are also protective against cancer. A rotating diet is an incredible tool for cancer prevention. Focus on consuming key nutrients, including vitamin D3, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols, turmeric, cruciferous vegetables, herbs, spices, green tea, and fermented vegetables.

In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, I'm joined by Dr. Mark Charbonneau, PhD — VP of Research & Development at Sōlaria Biō — to explore groundbreaking science around bone health, the gut–bone axis, and how microbes may hold the key to aging stronger, not weaker. We break down: Why traditional bone-health solutions fall short, and what's missing when it comes to inflammation, gut integrity, and immune balance. How Bōndia combines plant-derived probiotic strains + prebiotic fibers + algae-based Vitamin D₃ into a synbiotic medical food targeting bone loss associated with menopause, weight, and aging. The science behind the gut microbiome's influence on bone metabolism, immune regulation, gut barrier integrity, and inflammation — and why this matters more than you think. Details on the clinical evidence showing significant bone-loss reduction, improved gut health, and reduced inflammatory signaling. What makes Bōndia unique: food-derived microbes, clean formulation, and root-cause-driven approach to healthy aging.

Poor sleep isn't always a discipline or routine problem — sometimes it's a digestion problem hiding in plain sight. This episode explores the emerging evidence linking gut dysbiosis with sleep quality, including research showing a bidirectional relationship between insomnia and the microbiome. I break down how bacterial overgrowth, inflammation, and altered neurotransmitter signaling can interfere with sleep, even when sleep hygiene is dialed in. The focus is on understanding root causes, not fear-mongering, and identifying practical, low-hanging interventions that support both gut health and recovery.

#194 - Feed Your Gut, Heal Your Body: The Microbiome Fix You've Never Tried   Feed Your Gut, Heal Your Life: How to Rebuild Your Microbiome (and Your Energy) with Anu Simh What if your gut wasn't just about digestion — but the foundation of your immune system, metabolism, hormones, mood, and energy? In this episode, Lisa sits down with Anu Simh, board-certified functional health coach, microbiome specialist, and author of Flourish From Within: Feed Your Gut for Lifelong Health. She's also the founder of The Nine Arms of Wellness, where she helps women lose weight, balance inflammation, and rebuild health through a microbiome-first approach. Anu's story starts with what she calls the “American Dream diet” — late nights, bottomless brunches, and too much stress — and how that led to autoimmune issues, chronic bloating, and inflammation. What she discovered (years before gut health was trendy) completely changed her life — and her clients'. You'll learn:

Dr. Natalie Crawford is joined by gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz to explain how gut health, inflammation, and hormones are connected—and what simple changes can support your energy, mood, and fertility. Key Topics: 1. The Gut–Hormone Connection - What the gut microbiome is and why it affects your whole body - How inflammation can quietly impact hormones, cycles, and fertility - Why symptoms like fatigue can be a sign of a deeper imbalance 2. Everyday Habits That Harm (or Help) Your Gut - How modern food, stress, and sleep patterns disrupt gut health - Why ultra-processed foods work against long-term wellness - Simple signs your gut may need more support 3. Food, Rhythm, and Daily Choices - The role of fiber, colorful plant foods, healthy fats, and fermented foods - How consistent routines around meals, sleep, and light support hormones - Practical ways to eat and live “gut-friendly” without a strict diet 4. Empowerment, Fertility, and Self-Advocacy - How a healthier gut can support hormones, fertility, and overall resilience - Why understanding your body helps you ask better questions in care settings - Focusing on what you can control rather than quick fixes Pre-order Dr. Crawford's debut book, The Fertility Formula, now! ⁠https://www.nataliecrawfordmd.com/book⁠ Follow Dr. Will Bulsiewicz on Instagram @theguthealthmd Order his book Plant Powered Plus Want to receive my weekly newsletter?

My newest book, "Gut Cure: Stop the Rot, Restore Your Body From the Inside Out," which comes out tomorrow, puts the spotlight on the modern epidemic of invisible gut dysfunction, and offers you a roadmap to true restoration Your gut microbiome acts as a command center for digestion, immunity, metabolism, and brain health; when microbial diversity drops, symptoms often go beyond digestion Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), especially butyrate, are essential compounds made by healthy gut bacteria that help repair your gut lining, calm inflammation, stabilize blood sugar, and support mental clarity Modern diets heavy in seed oils (including linoleic acid), emulsifiers, and ultraprocessed foods disrupt beneficial bacteria and reduce butyrate production, leaving your gut undernourished even if you eat "healthy" foods Simple changes, such as replacing seed oils with stable fats like butter, ghee, or coconut oil, can lower inflammation, rebalance your microbiome, and help your body begin healing from the inside out
