Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist in New York City, discusses the growing shift from symptom-only “sick care” to a clinically grounded holistic approach to health and recovery. She argues that self-guided wellness routines can leave gaps when underlying medical issues, mental health conditions, substance use disorders, or trauma remain unaddressed, and emphasizes integrating evidence-based clinical evaluation (including labs and deficiency testing) with lifestyle practices. She explains how treating symptoms in isolation misses connections (e.g., stress, sleep, grief) and defines true holistic care as addressing physical, mental, emotional, relational, environmental, and purpose-related factors without rejecting medical treatment. Key components include consistent movement, individualized nutrition built on basics, nervous system regulation (sleep, nature, breathing, meditation/prayer), meaningful social connection, and a sense of purpose as clinically relevant to resilience.

Dr. Hoffman continues is conversation with naturopathic gastroenterologist Mark Davis, ND (FABNG).

Naturopathic gastroenterologist Mark Davis, ND (FABNG), discusses his work in fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), research, and integrative approaches to GI disease. Davis explains FMT history, screening criteria, delivery methods, how it differs from probiotics, and why it is highly effective for recurrent C. difficile (about a 90% durable cure), while noting FDA-approved products (Rebyota, Vowst) and off-label applications. He describes IRB-approved studies on naturopathic care for IBS and ulcerative colitis and a blinded project comparing consistency across 15–20 stool microbiome labs. The conversation covers evidence for diet in IBS/IBD (including SCD and a semi-vegetarian diet), low-FODMAP as a temporary tool, breath testing and relapse in SIBO, helminthic therapy options and legality, targeted probiotics (Saccharomyces boulardii, Akkermansia, soil-based species), enema therapies, indigo naturalis benefits and risks, saffron evidence for mood, telemedicine practice, and a crowdfunding platform for clinical trials.

Are tissue salts the missing link to optimal health? In this episode I sit down with Dr. Robert Selig to explore the fascinating connection between tissue salts, minerals, and the foundations of human health. Minerals are ESSENTIAL for nearly every process in the body, yet many people may not be getting adequate amounts or properly utilizing these important nutrients. Dr. Selig explains the "Big Four", how mineral balance influences cellular health, energy production, metabolism, thyroid function, hydration, and overall wellness. In this conversation, we discuss:

Psychedelic Therapy for Mental Health: Research, Safety, and the Path to FDA Approval: Dr. Will Van Derveer and Keith Kurlander, co-authors of “Psychedelic Therapy: A Revolutionary Approach to Restoring Your Mental Health and Reclaiming Your Life,” reveal the shift from recreational psychedelics to structured, research-based psychedelic-assisted therapy for conditions like PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Van Derveer describes limitations of conventional psychiatry (citing STAR*D remission rates) and his entry into MDMA-assisted PTSD research after promising results. They contrast controlled clinical protocols—screening, preparation, safe setting, trained facilitation, medical monitoring, and post-session integration—with uncontained recreational use. The discussion covers current policy momentum under Trump and RFK Jr., VA interest for veterans, and key agents: ketamine (including abuse risks and clinic-only Spravato), MDMA (phase 3 but not approved in 2024), psilocybin (phase 3, potential FDA approval), LSD (GAD trials), ibogaine (arrhythmia risk, Mexico clinics), ayahuasca, peyote, and microdosing. They also note commercialization, including Eli Lilly's acquisition of a 5-MeO-DMT nasal spray developer, and emphasize an integrative “all-of-the-above” mental health approach.

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showLevamisole has become one of the most talked-about adjunct therapies for Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM), but should horse owners and practitioners be asking more questions? In this episode, Audrey McLaughlin, RN, MSN, Board-Certified Traditional Naturopath and equine nutrition practitioner, explores how working in both human and equine health reveals important crossover insights. We discuss why some veterinarians use levamisole for EPM, how it may influence the immune system, the recent European withdrawal of human levamisole products following concerns about inflammatory white matter disease, and what that does—and does not—mean for horses. You'll also learn about Th1 immunity, medicinal herbs like astragalus and andrographis, beta-glucans, and why optimizing nutrition and immune resilience may be just as important as immune stimulation. This episode is a balanced, evidence-informed discussion designed to help horse owners and equine professionals ask better questions about EPM treatment—not to replace veterinary care.

Air Date: 7/25/2026 The Monthly-ish Mix™ is here to get you caught up on the news from June and July without being overwhelming! Organized around a single idea: the same politics that left America friendless abroad is keeping Americans apart at home. The war with Iran ends and America's word counts for less around the world, so Europe starts building its own software instead of buying ours, NATO war-games its own doubts, and China quietly steadies the world's oil markets, while Taiwan shows that real security comes from connection, not threats. At home, the administration revives the red scare, hands the Justice Department to the president's personal lawyer while judges face death threats, and turns the country's 250th birthday into a fight over who counts as American, and billionaires cash out while everyone argues. And the way back starts small: a psychologist's simple habit for a happier social life, organizers who treat loneliness as a political problem with a political cure, and a Michigan Senate campaign built on talking to people instead of donors.

Interview with Lewis Lawrick, President & CEO of Magna Terra MineralsRecording date: 23rd July 2026Magna Terra Minerals (TSXV:MTT) is a Toronto-headquartered exploration company advancing a diversified portfolio of precious and critical metals projects across two jurisdictions: Atlantic Canada and Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. The investment case centres on a management team with a specific, verifiable prior success in the same geological setting, a capital-efficient funding model built on partner-funded option agreements, and a first-mover copper-cobalt discovery that remains largely unexplored by outside analysts.President and CEO Lewis Lawrick previously founded Anaconda Mining, which became Signal Gold and grew the Goldboro deposit in Nova Scotia from an inferred 700,000 ounces to more than 3 million ounces before merging with NexGold. Chief geologist David Copeland and senior geologist Tanya Tettelaar who are both part of that earlier success now apply the same systematic, data-driven targeting approach at Magna Terra, and management frames this continuity of team as the primary reason significant shareholder Michael Gentile who holds roughly 17% of the company took his position.The portfolio's most technically distinctive asset is Humber, a 50,000-hectare, 100%-owned copper-cobalt project in western Newfoundland staked entirely on the company's own regional geochemical analysis, with no underlying royalty. A new discovery, the Birch Zone, now extends over 4.2 kilometres of strike with grab samples up to 1.26% copper, and management is targeting a first-pass drill programme by fall 2026 pending further geophysics. In New Brunswick's historic Bathurst Mining Camp, Rocky Brook has returned high-grade copper and gold values from trenching and surface sampling across a 30-kilometre land position, while the newly staked Prospect Or's Dream project has identified an epithermal gold vein system over a 7.2-kilometre strike length.Rather than fund every project through dilutive equity raises, Magna Terra has optioned two assets to partners who are independently drilling them. Gold Hunter Resources holds an option on the Great Northern and Viking projects for total consideration of $10.075 million and began a 10,000-metre drill programme there in June 2026; Magna Terra's resulting approximately 19% equity stake in Gold Hunter (roughly 55 million shares) gives it leveraged exposure to that drilling without further capital outlay. In Argentina, Lunex Metals Corp. holds a $2.375 million option on the Luna Roja project and reported encouraging initial drill results in July 2026, including a new mineralised centre north of the historic discovery zone.Financially, Magna Terra held just over $1 million in cash at the time of the underlying interview, with total working capital near $3.5 million once its marketable securities positions are included. Additional financing will likely be required to advance Humber past target generation. For investors, the near-term catalysts to watch are continued drill results from Gold Hunter and Lunex which are both funded independently of Magna Terra, alongside progress toward a maiden drill programme at Humber, represents the company's most differentiated, wholly-owned exploration target.View Magna Terra Minerals' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/magna-terra-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

What Triggers Age-Related Belly Fat? New Stem Cell Findings and a Nutrition Perspective: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses research from City of Hope (published in Science) on why belly fat increases with age even without major weight gain, emphasizing the health risks of visceral fat as an endocrine organ linked to inflammation, diabetes, heart disease, and accelerated aging. The study suggests aging activates adipocyte progenitor cells (APCs) and produces an age-specific stem cell population called committed preadipocytes (CP-As) that generate new fat cells, with experiments showing older APCs create more fat cells even when transplanted into young mice. Single-cell RNA sequencing identified greater CP-A activity in middle-aged mice and similar cells in higher numbers in middle-aged human tissue. Researchers implicate the LIFR signaling pathway and propose future therapies to block these cells, while Leyla questions root causes and argues metabolic dysfunction—insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, high carbohydrate intake, and sedentary behavior—should be addressed nutritionally rather than via a pill.

The Brain–Body Connection, Gut Health, Stress, and Medical Gaslighting: board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Susan Trachman, author of “It's Not Just In Your Head,” about psychosomatic medicine and the two-way brain–body connection. Trachman explains how patients with complex symptoms are often dismissed as having “medically unexplained symptoms” and discusses medical gaslighting, especially affecting women and people of color, with examples of missed diagnoses. She describes how inflammation, the gut microbiome, leaky gut, diet, probiotics, fermented foods, and even fecal transplants can influence mood and health, and reviews vagus nerve stimulation research. The conversation covers stress effects, including Takotsubo “broken heart” cardiomyopathy, CBT for anxiety, IBS, and pain, the role of sleep and the brain's glymphatic system, pandemic-related mental health and long COVID symptoms, concerns about GLP-1 drugs causing emotional flatness, and careful SSRI tapering to avoid withdrawal. 

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Susan Trachman, author of “It's Not Just In Your Head.”

20 million people have a thyroid condition and 60% don't even know it — because the labs your doctor runs are barely scratching the surface of what's actually going on. In today's episode of The Wellness Effect, Kira breaks down how the thyroid actually works — from the brain-driven HPT axis to the T4-to-T3 conversion process — and why "normal" TSH doesn't mean your thyroid is fine. The trio unpacks what really drives thyroid dysfunction (stress, gut health, liver congestion, blood sugar, minerals, toxins, and autoimmunity), plus which labs to actually ask for and what to do if your doctor won't run them. Key Takeaways TSH isn't a thyroid hormone — it's a signal from your brain, and a "normal" TSH can still hide real dysfunction in T3, reverse T3, or antibody levels. Most thyroid hormone conversion happens outside the thyroid — 60-70% in the liver, 20% in the gut — so liver and gut health are often the real root cause. Minerals (iodine, selenium, zinc, iron, magnesium) are required raw materials for thyroid hormone production and conversion, not optional extras.

Can Infections Drive Alzheimer's? Nikki Schultek, founder of Intracel Research Group and co-founder of the Alzheimer's Pathobiome Initiative, details evidence that pathogens may contribute to Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative and neuroimmune disorders beyond the amyloid hypothesis. Schultek recounts her own misdiagnosed systemic illness with neurodegenerative symptoms, later found to involve Lyme disease, Babesia, and chronic infection with the intracellular respiratory bacterium Chlamydia pneumoniae, treated with combination antibiotics. The discussion covers PANS/PANDAS as an infection-associated pediatric neuropsychiatric condition, parallels with neuroinflammation and blood–brain barrier changes, and a 2023 Alzheimer's & Dementia “research roadmap” documenting 86 infection-associated dementia cases and calling for actionable testing and collaboration. They review links involving herpes viruses, COVID-related cognitive decline, gum pathogen P. gingivalis therapies, and controversies around chronic infection diagnosis and long-term antibiotics, and share resources including alzpi.org, ILADS, MAPS, and Schultek's Pathobiome Research Center at PCOM.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Nikki Schultek, founder of Intracel Research Group and co-founder of the Alzheimer's Pathobiome Initiative.

The Government's celebrating strong momentum in the minerals sector. A one-year review of the Government's Minerals Strategy shows exports have climbed from $1.46 billion in 2023 to about $2.5 billion this year. Gold production and employment have also grown, with more than $30 million in royalties expected this financial year. Minerals Council Chief Executive Josie Vidal told Mike Hosking they're optimistic, but there are still hurdles. She says any production industry struggles with red tape, so it's good to see this strategy try to get the mining industry up and running.

Vitamin B12 Deficiency--The “Aging” Symptoms You Shouldn't Ignore: Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist in New York City, discusses vitamin B12 deficiency as a common problem that can mimic normal aging, noting adults need only about two micrograms daily to support red blood cells, nerves, and DNA. She reviews the history of liver treatment for pernicious anemia and explains that deficiency remains common in older adults, vegans/vegetarians, and people with impaired absorption due to low stomach acid, autoimmune gastritis, weight loss surgery, or medications such as metformin and proton pump inhibitors. Symptoms can develop slowly and include fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, numbness/tingling, poor balance, memory issues, and brain fog; she advises medical evaluation and B12 testing rather than assuming aging or relying on wellness-clinic injections when levels are normal. She emphasizes B12 is primarily in animal foods, so vegans need supplements, and notes broader nutrient shortfalls she sees in vegan clients.

Dr. David Chernoff, Chief Medical Officer of Setpoint Medical, discusses electrically driven vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) as a “neuroimmune modulation” approach to autoimmune and inflammatory disease. Chernoff explains the vagus nerve's sensory role in monitoring organs and signaling the brainstem and spleen to regulate immune responses, and how precise stimulation can reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines without immunosuppression. Setpoint's miniaturized, wireless, MRI-compatible implant is placed in an outpatient 45-minute neck procedure and delivers one minute of daily stimulation titrated to an upper comfort level; long-term safety is supported by prior surgical experience and a 242-patient blinded RA study with two-year data, leading to FDA approval for rheumatoid arthritis. The discussion covers add-on use with medications, potential steroid tapering, reimbursement, and research in Crohn's disease, relapsing MS (vision and remyelination), and other conditions, including psoriatic arthritis, lupus, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. David Chernoff, Chief Medical Officer of Setpoint Medical.

If you had a chronic case of strep as a kid it may be lingering around your organs. Here's what you can do about it. In this episode, Dr. Motley explains why recurring strep infections are not new infections at all, they are the same bacteria getting more antibiotic-resistant each time. He connects chronic strep to anemia, autoimmune disease, and PANS/PANDAS, then walks through the herbs and lab tests he uses to root it out. This is a re-post of an earlier episode to highlight the importance of this issue and raise awareness. Scroll down for a list of Dr. Motley's recommended solutions.  In this episode you will learn:  How strep can get in your lungs (strep pneumonia), your heart and even your lymph nodes, how to test for it and what herbs + vitamin regimens can help fight it off.  Strep can hide in a “silent carrier” state. Learn about the lingering unexplained symptoms that signal strep, including brain fog and hormonal issues. How a poor immune system mixed with environmental toxins allows strep to stick around in a dormant state. How this could be behind your malabsorption issues, if there's no other explanation. Strep can feed off your red blood cells.  Dr. Motley's own personal battle with strep and its connection to excess sugar in the diet.  Recommendations: Watch your sugar intake Labs to test for this: MicroGenDx.com - for strep strains standard labs miss vibrant-wellness.com - for expanded infection panels Herbs to take for strep (For Adults): Melia (Neem): https://shorturl.at/TYF12 Golden Thread: https://shorturl.at/fASWv Morinda: https://shorturl.at/LWUMK Lighter herbs (liquid forms are great for kids!)
