In this episode of The Healthy Mouth Movement Podcast, I sit down with nurse practitioner and functional medicine practitioner Andrea Rorabaugh—also known as Annie from Back to Our Roots—for a powerful conversation about getting back to the basics of true health. Andrea shares her personal journey from working in urgent care during the height of COVID to realizing that she wasn't truly healing patients—only temporarily making them feel better. That realization led her to functional medicine, where she helps families uncover the why behind chronic illness. We dive deep into the connection between genetics, nutrition, and oral health, discussing topics like MTHFR, folate vs. folic acid, heavy metal toxicity, gut health, and how the body's natural ability to heal starts with small foundational habits. Andrea and I talk about why our children are sicker than ever, what parents can do to support their kids' bodies naturally, and how oral health and functional medicine beautifully overlap when it comes to true prevention.

Big Pharma Freaks Out over Tylenol & Autism Truth

Big Pharma is freaking out about the recent information RFK Jr. has released to the public. Is there a Tylenol and vaccine link to autism? Is this another instance of medical corruption for Big Pharma profits? Find out now!RFK Jr. is being called everything from irresponsible to anti-science for trying to revive “debunked vaccine myths”. Autism rates have skyrocketed from 1 in 100,000 to 1 in 31, so we need to look at everything!Vaccine safety studies do not compare vaccines to placebos, they compare vaccines to other vaccines!RFK Jr. did not say that Tylenol causes autism, but that it could be a contributing factor that can influence susceptible people to develop autism. He has raised awareness of this link and has called for further research.Tylenol is used for fevers, headaches, pain, menstrual cramps, and more. Most people think it doesn't have many side effects, but it's the leading cause of acute liver failure. Over 80,000 people each year end up in the ER because of too much acetaminophen. Tylenol's active ingredient depletes glutathione and is found in over 600 medications.A fever is a natural immune reaction to an infection, and suppressing this can increase the infection's duration.There are multiple causes of autism. One involves a genetic component with the MTHFR gene, which weakens your ability to detoxify and increases your risk of a folate deficiency.Leucovorin is a synthetic folate derivative recommended for some instances of autism. This medication could be beneficial and may provide optimal results if taken with B12, B2, B6, magnesium, and zinc. One study found that between 56% and 75% of those with autism had a folate deficiency! In another trial, synthetic folate boosted IQs by 25% to 50% compared to the placebo. Independent research is needed to explore the vaccine link to autism. We can't simply squash vaccine controversy by claiming the “science is settled.”Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Kat shares her refugee-to-founder story, imposter thoughts that almost kept her from starting, and the moment she built Ritual while four months pregnant after not finding a prenatal she trusted.She explains what “clinically studied” should actually mean, why dose and form matter, and how Ritual runs clinical studies on finished products.

Decoding Rapture Hype and Rewriting Autism Myths for Real-World Hope

Send us a textViral rapture dates, prophecy pressure, and a world on edge—let's take a breath. We open by cutting through sensational predictions with grounded wisdom and a working definition of “rapture” as awakening rather than escape. From there we pivot into the heart of the episode: a deep, hopeful conversation with Harvard-trained educator and author Jonathan Alderson on why so many autism “certainties” are wrong, how they took hold, and what families can do right now that actually helps.Jonathan shares how years in the therapy room contradicted conference claims—like the myth that autistic children lack imagination. He unpacks the damaging “five-year window” belief and replaces it with modern neuroplasticity research, including evidence of a second wave of brain growth during adolescence. We explore his Integrative Multi-Treatment Intervention, a personalized roadmap that blends speech and occupational therapies with biomedical considerations like digestion, methylation, sleep, and energy—because every child's profile is unique. He also introduces ThriveGuide.co, an accessible platform that transforms a detailed child profile into five tailored next steps, plus a free Weekly AIM email to sustain mindset, motivation, and practical progress.Our Q&A gets candid about Tylenol rumors and MTHFR variants, drawing a clear line between theoretical pathways and proven causation. The takeaway is simple and powerful: trust qualified medical care and peer-reviewed evidence, not viral claims. We also walk through early signs of ASD, real-world education paths beyond one-size-fits-all approaches, and the kind of parental mindset that turns possibility into growth.We close with reflection on an unusual concentration of military leadership meetings and a reminder to choose prudence over panic. There's space, too, to honor community courage after a tragic church attack—and to answer a listener's question about GMO foods with practical, body-aware nutrition advice.If you're weary of fear-driven narratives—about faith, health, or your child's future—you'll find clear science, compassionate perspective, and real tools here.

MTHFR Stories are interviews with regular people who have MTHFR and are willing to share their health journey to help others. Mary's MTHFR journey centers around pregnancy loss with several second-trimester miscarriages and a stillbirth. She bravely talks about the exhaustion that she has struggled with after such a deep physical toll was taken on her body by the pregnancies, and the emotional journey she has been on.

AUTSIM - What is a potential ROOT CAUSE of Autism? Can it be helped? What I see again and again is an inability to detox caused by failures in the Transsulfuration Pathway. This is your pathway that converts homocysteine to glutathione. If you have MTHFR or 16 other Gene SNPs, you will have problems with this pathway. In little children with these SNPs, when exposed to high levels of toxins, such a mercury found in certain vaccines, or even acetaminophen (which drastically decreases glutathione levels), they will not be able to detox these toxins fast enough. They have MAJOR inflammatory responses that may cause permanent damage. Functional Glutathione and the balancing of your methylation is the ONLY way to help and prevent it. Take a listen.

Elizabeth Katzman specializes in Functional Diagnostic Nutrition for women in perimenopause and menopause. She'll help you connect the dots if you've taken the pill in the past or are on the pill now. Topic Covered: What the pill does (synthetic estrogen + progestin), why the “period” on it is a withdrawal bleed, and how it can hide your true perimenopause status.Why progestins can raise anxiety/depression risk, and how bioidentical progesterone supports sleep, mood, bones, and thyroid.Thyroid connection: How the pill can deplete nutrients and interfere with T4→T3 conversion, and raise hypothyroid risk when midlife thyroid issues already spike.Leaky gut, depleted lacto/bifido, and why protecting your mucosal lining matters for autoimmune risk.Testing that helps (and when): Why FSH/E2/Progesterone timing matters off the pill, plus affordable bloodwork that gives clues even when hormones fluctuate.How to think about nutrient repletion (methylated B's, magnesium, zinc, selenium) and why an IUD or mini-pill (progestin-only) isn't automatically a better choice.Topical/oral/vaginal progesterone options, DHEA and pregnenolone basics, and why “fit + formulation + timing” often matter more than the dose.Red meat, ferritin, and genetics: Why iron can climb post-menopause, when to watch ferritin, and how genetics (MTHFR, APOE) affect it.When your long-time GYN isn't the right HRT partner, and how to add a practitioner who actually understands midlife hormones.Links From The Show:Perimenopause, Menopause & Pelvic Health SurveyDNA CompanyWhy You Should Test Your Iron Levels in Menopause with Dr. Christy SuttonDr. Thomas Perls on Longevity Tips from Studying CentenariansUnderstanding Bio-Send us a text ✅ Fill out our surveys: https://bit.ly/4jcVuLh

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Julie Alsaker, founder of Lux Bioanalytics and holistic genetic specialist, to unpack how nutrigenomics, methylation pathways, and nervous system regulation shape clarity, energy, and resilience. We move beyond generic wellness advice to explore DNA-informed strategies for burnout, brain fog, and “doing everything right” yet still feeling off. If you've wondered why breathwork, journaling, or clean eating sometimes stall, this episode shows how aligning biology with belief and behavior can create practical, measurable change. About the guest : Julie Alsaker is a holistic genetic specialist with 25+ years in alternative health. Through Lux Bioanalytics, she integrates DNA insights, functional blood analysis, and nutrition to help clients—from bedridden patients to high performers—identify root causes and build sustainable, personalized protocols. Key takeaways: Genetics is strategy, not destiny: DNA reveals tendencies; choices and environments shape outcomes. Nutrigenomics > one-size-fits-all: Diet, stress tools, and routines work best when calibrated to your genetic blueprint. Methylation matters: Variants across 13+ genes (e.g., MTHFR, MTR/MTRR, CBS, COMT) can limit energy access; nutrient form/amount can be the unlock. Biology sets the ceiling: Ignoring physiology (gut, immune, detox pathways) caps results from mindset and mindfulness work. Parasympathetic is where healing happens: Your body repairs when it feels safe; resilience includes nervous system retraining. Symptoms are data, not destiny: Don't normalize persistent brain fog, poor sleep, or “just getting older.” Track and investigate. Gut–brain loop: >70% of serotonin is produced in the gut; microbiome balance influences mood and motivation. Test, then tailor: DNA plus detailed bloodwork narrows root causes and informs targeted, safe interventions. Language shapes physiology: Identity and words matter—reframing fear can reduce stress chemistry and support healing. Start simple: Practice “grounded awareness”—honest symptom logging—before adding protocols or supplements.

This episode might sound a little fiery because, honestly, I am fired up. I cannot tell you how many times I hear stories of women going through procedures, even surgeries, for hormone-related issues—and not a single hormone test has ever been run. That is bananas. Truly bananas. Today, I'm walking you through the story of a client I'll call Kathy. She's in her early 30s and has been struggling with hormone issues for over a decade. She's had multiple surgeries for endometriosis, gone through devastating life stress, and tried to do everything right—from eating clean to exercising, ditching toxic products, and living a “healthy” lifestyle. And yet, nobody ever thought to test her hormones. Not once. When we finally ran her Dutch Test and GI Map, everything came into focus. Her body wasn't crazy, broken, or betraying her—her test results told the real story. And when we layered in genetic testing, we found answers that explained why even her max effort couldn't keep her body going during periods of intense stress. The relief she felt when she saw her results in black and white was huge. Numbers don't lie, and finally, she had the validation that she wasn't crazy. In this episode, I break down: Why surgery without testing is such a huge disservice to women The difference between PCOS and endometriosis (and how they can overlap) Why urine testing (DUTCH) + gut testing give us a much deeper picture than blood work alone How genetics like MTHFR can change the way you handle stress, inflammation, and detoxification The importance of targeted, specific protocols—not just “eat healthy and exercise” If you've ever felt like you were doing everything right and still not getting answers, this episode will resonate with you. You are not crazy. You deserve real answers and solutions that actually match what's happening in your body. Want to learn more about testing and working together 1:1?

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right—eating clean, taking your supplements, exercising, sleeping—and yet, something still feels off? In this episode, I'm diving deep into one of the most overlooked but essential processes in your body: methylation. It might sound like something from chemistry class (and technically it is), but it affects everything—from your energy and hormones to detox, mental health, and even how your genes show up in real life. If you've heard of MTHFR or suspect there's something going on under the surface that no one has been able to explain… this is for you. Here's What I Cover in This Episode: What methylation actually is—and why it matters for your overall health The connection between methylation and your detox, mood, hormones, and energy Signs you might be struggling with methylation (hint: it's way more common than you think) Why the phrase “genetics load the gun, lifestyle pulls the trigger” applies to your health journey What MTHFR, COMT, PEMT, MTRR, and other gene variants mean for your body Why some supplements might not work for you—and how to choose the ones that actually do My personal experiences with poor methylation (including that dental numbing story

In this episode, I go through my deep and fascinating experience with the Stride health optimization program. You'll hear me walk through the six detailed reports from my DNA and microbiome testing—starting with the methylation report, where I had impaired efficiency in the folate cycle, methionine cycle, and BH4 cycle, and finally got a normal score in the transsulfuration pathway. I talk about the role of key nutrients like B vitamins, choline, magnesium, and zinc, and how specific gene variants like MTHFR affect my ability to methylate, detox, and produce neurotransmitters efficiently. I also share my microbiome results—including a 93 out of 100 for diversity—along with some areas for concern like low serotonin and dopamine, which matched my long-standing results from the Braverman neurotransmitter questionnaire. You’ll hear about the consultation I did with Bianca from Stride, how she helped interpret the results, and the personalized supplement stack they created for me based on everything. Then I wrap it all up by pulling up years of blood test data, going through my male hormone panel, fasting insulin, and cortisol patterns, and why I don’t stress over red-flagged total cholesterol. This is a detailed breakdown of how genetics, gut health, and blood markers come together—and how Stride helps make sense of it all through one powerful platform.
