Podcasts about my guest dr

Save your knees and shoulders from the little discomfort doing usual activities or some swelling and inflammation. If you aren't sure whether you need physical therapy, you should get a referral, just need a massage or to lay off for a few days, this is your episode.  I'm no stranger to physical therapy, but I am a foreigner in seeking support for any issues I've got. Mine have all come from some acute trauma or injury. I knew it and the answer was obvious, maybe for you too — to save your knees and shoulders without surgery!   My Guest: Dr. David Middaugh is a specialist physical therapist who helps people avoid unnecessary surgery while getting back to being healthy, active, and mobile. He coaches people online and has a clinic where people are treated in person. His contrarian treatment approaches are focused on addressing the root cause of problems like arthritis and tendon tears so that people have the most control over their health. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:10:58] What makes you different from other physical therapists? [00:14:12] Is it actually possible to heal osteoarthritis without surgery? [00:20:28] What is unique about how you help people with knee pain? [00:37:30] What about people with shoulder pain?   What is Manual Physical Therapy? Hands-on body work to manipulate the soft tissues like your muscles, tendons, ligaments tend to be pretty good at moving the joints. Fixing the root problem of knee and shoulder pain issues through movement. Focused on fascia techniques and fascia related treatments.   What Really Works to Save Your Knees and Shoulders?   Knees What to work on? Glutes. If you have weakness in the glutes, that's when the quads get over dominant. The Science: Quads have been overused causing knee arthritis or meniscus tear. What to do? Do your exercises primarily with your glutes. Your hamstrings and quads will still work – they just need to work secondary. Can you figure out how to make your glutes contract apart from your thigh muscles? It's more gaining mental control over your muscles. Stop walking. Turn on your glutes first.   Shoulders  What to work on? Upper traps (trapezius). If you have weak traps, there is more stress and tension holding the weight of the arm, shoulders and maybe chest.. The Science: Rotator Cuff tears are one of the biggest problems because of weak upper traps. What to do? Shrug every time you reach up to use your traps. This preserves your ball and socket joint. If you don't shrug, the socket faces outwards and compresses tissues.   Connect with Dr. David: Get the Manual Therapy for a 50% discount for a one-time purchase OR the first payment on membership Link: http://flippingfifty.com/manualtherapy Code: FLIPPING50 Instagram - @elpasomanualpt YouTube - @epmanualphysicaltherapy   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - Clean Eating, Fasting and Eating Disorders in Menopause Next Episode - Stress Isn't All Bad?

If you are considering BHRT, this is for you. Even if you're currently on BHRT, you'll learn or confirm something here. If you've got daughters or DIL, in my case, there's something here for you on that front too. If you've wondered why does cholesterol go up for so many women or why do autoimmune numbers increase in midlife?

[00:14:27] What tests do you recommend to a woman considering hormones?

In this episode, we answer the questions you might have about common and lesser-known autoimmune diseases: whether you are more prone during menopause, how hormonal changes may impact autoimmunity, some of the easiest lifestyle changes you can implement starting today, and perhaps most importantly that you are not alone.  My guest today will share his unique experience with both arthritis and something I've dealt with in clients, spondyloarthritis. As a physician and a patient of arthritis, he has a very unique perspective on autoimmunity in menopause.   My Guest: Dr. Micah Yu is an integrative rheumatologist who incorporates complementary medicine with traditional rheumatology. He is triple board-certified in Rheumatology, Internal Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine. He obtained his MD from Chicago Medical School and holds a Masters in Healthcare Administration and Biomedical sciences. He completed his internal medicine residency and rheumatology fellowship at Loma Linda University in Southern California. He is a graduate of the Andrew Weil Integrative Medicine Fellowship at the University of Arizona. In addition, he is certified in functional medicine through the Institute of Functional Medicine. He is able to understand his patient's medical problems from a patient perspective. The foundation of his practice is to combine allopathic medicine with complementary medicine. He works with his patients to come up with a treatment plan that not only fights the disease but also is aligned with his patient's goals.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:05:16] What is rheumatoid arthritis vs other types of arthritis? [00:16:00] How can people use integrative medicine to help with their autoimmunity? [00:18:21] Do people have to go on medications when they get diagnosed with a rheumatic disease? [00:26:01] Is there any connection whatsoever with post -exercise soreness and autoimmune response? [00:27:24] How will a plant-based diet sustain muscle? Don't Let Autoimmunity in Menopause Hold You Back What are the different Arthritis Disease? Gout NOT an autoimmune arthritis and NOT wear and tear. It's an arthritis that's inflammatory that's caused by uric acid deposition in the joints. Usually comes out as a single joint (e.g. big toe, knee) and get repeated over time. Rheumatoid Arthritis IS an autoimmune arthritis. Can attack multiple joints (e.g. fingers, toes, shoulders, elbows, knee) Usually come up with swelling, retinas, stiffness of the joints. Predominant in females Spondyloarthritis Overall arching term of different arthritis (e.g. psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis) Usually comes out in fingers, TMJ (temporomandibular joints), elbows, shoulders, knees, feet, ankles.   What is the medication for autoimmune disease? Depends on the background, beliefs, and severity of the disease. Some may use medications, others may use alternative medicines, supplements and therapists.   What is a Whole Food Plant Based Diet (WFPB)? Helped Dr. Micah with pain remission after 2 months Whole foods include beans, organic tofu, edamame, fruits and vegetables. No highly processed vegan protein, soy protein. Soy is included in WFPB Has phytonutrients Decreases breast cancers Use clean unprocessed soy (e.g. organic tofu, edamame) Does not include processed vegan meat Some people may be sensitive to soy.   What are Inflammatory Foods? Ultra-processed foods (e.g. fast food, chips, cookies, cakes, ham, pepperoni). Food with high salt. WHO says that diet must be up to two grams of salt.

Do you have breast implants? Have you thought about getting them or do you know others with them?  The conversation about breast implants' impact on health is a real one for a lot of women. We get into all the cases: You have implants and feel fine  You have implants and are feeling symptoms you have just chalked up to menopause  Whether for yourself, or to share with a friend or daughter, this one doesn't end with breast implants. It only starts there.  Stay all the way to the end for the no-cut facelift details!    My Guest: Dr. Robert Whitfield, MD is AMERICA'S BREAST IMPLANT ILLNESS EXPERT™ with over 25 years of experience as a plastic surgeon and more than 16 years board-certified. He specializes in Breast Implant Illness (BII), explant surgery, and advanced cosmetic procedures like his signature “No-Cut” Facelift. He is also the creator of SHARP (Strategic Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program)—a protocol designed to reduce inflammation and support both pre- and post-surgical healing. Dr. Whitfield earned his medical degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, followed by surgical training and a plastic surgery residency at Indiana University Medical Center, and a microsurgery fellowship in Nevada. He later taught at the Medical College of Wisconsin before moving to Austin in 2012. He began private practice in 2017.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:07:42] What is Breast Implant Illness (BII)? [00:08:01] What are the BII signs and symptoms? [00:08:43] Why does BII occur, and how common is it? [00:15:36] What to do if you suspect you have BII? What tests are available? Is there a holistic approach? [00:22:52] Is it covered by insurance?  [00:22:36] How is BII treated? [00:30:11] What is the No-cut Facelift?   What is Breast Implant Illness (BII)? Chronic inflammatory response to breast implants. Implants are foreign bodies which may cause ~29% chance of bacterial contamination, not mold.   What are the Symptoms? Brain fog Fatigue and loss of motivation Gastrointestinal issues (e.g. bloating) Joint pain Hormonal imbalance Thyroid dysfunction   What to Do If You Suspect BII? Educate yourself through long-form content and patient stories Consider testing for: Detox capabilities Hormonal panels Gut health and infections Look into explant surgery with comprehensive detox and recovery (e.g. SHARP protocol)   The No-Cut Facelift Designed to lift and rejuvenate without surgery or visible scars The Procedure: Fiber optics for deep neck tightening FaceTite (radiofrequency tightening beneath the skin) Micro-coring: removes tiny pieces of skin to tighten surface without visible scars Benefits: Natural results with minimal scarring Boosts collagen production Customizable depending on the patient's skin, hormones, and detox status   Key Takeaways BII is real and often overlooked, frequently mistaken for menopause or autoimmune disorders. Chronic inflammation and bacterial contamination (not mold) are major culprits. A new biomarker test (oxylipin 10-HOME) could soon improve diagnosis. Personal genetics, lifestyle, and environmental exposure significantly influence risk. Explant surgery should be holistic, addressing toxins, hormones, and gut health before and after. No-Cut Facelift, a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation, is a safer, scar-free alternative to traditional facelifts, emphasizing natural results.   Connect with Dr. Robert: Website of Dr. Robert Facebook - Dr. Robert Whitfield Instagram - @breastimplantillnessexpert YouTube - @breastimplantillnessexpert Podcast - Apple Podcasts - Explant Breast Surgery & Recovery   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - Is This Perimenopause or Something Else?

Dealing with stubborn belly fat after 40 is reality for many women. It may happen in your 40s, 50's, 60s or even 70s. And no one… not even an 87 yo likes it.  My guest reminded me there is no “pre” … there is diabetes.  So let that be a wake up call. We can't control aging. We can over control carbs to the point blood sugar levels spike. You heard that right. We can fast so long blood sugar levels spike.  Learn more surprising insight inside this episode. Stay to the end for an invite to a free summit coming up regarding blood sugar levels too.    My Guest: Dr. Nana Ama Quansah is a Root Cause Care Practitioner, Pharmacist, and Blood Sugar Optimization Expert dedicated to helping high-achievers reclaim their energy, focus, and health. As the founder of Ditch Diabetes Academy, she empowers individuals to stabilize blood sugar and put type 2 diabetes in remission without restrictive diets or overwhelm through her international online programs. With a Doctor of Pharmacy degree and experience spanning Fortune 500 healthcare companies, hospitals, and personalized coaching, Dr. Nana bridges the gap between conventional medicine and root-cause healing. She's been featured on global podcasts and international TV, sharing insights on reversing blood sugar imbalances naturally.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:05:22] Why does blood sugar matter (even if you're not diabetic)? [00:08:55] What are the hidden signs of blood sugar imbalance women should watch for? [00:12:42] What are some so-called 'healthy habits' that backfire and make blood sugar issues worse? [00:16:20] What's going on under the surface?  [00:21:49] Why do we need to go deeper with comprehensive functional testing? [00:26:39] What are the simple shifts for better blood sugar balance to help them now if they feel stuck.   Unlocking the Blood Sugar Connection to Stubborn Belly Fat After 40 Blood sugar affects every system in the body—brain function, muscle energy, mood, and sleep.  Daily spikes in blood sugar can cause fatigue, cravings, and brain fog—even in "healthy eaters."   Common Hidden Signs of Blood Sugar Imbalance Afternoon energy crashes Cravings Brain fog Poor sleep Mood swings Hormonal shifts (especially around menopause or PCOS) These symptoms are the body's “whispers” that something's off.   Healthy Habits That Might Be Hurting You Skipping meals or prolonged fasting can worsen hormonal imbalance. Drinking coffee without food increases cortisol and leads to crashes later. Low-carb diets can backfire by raising stress and depriving your gut of fiber-rich, insulin-balancing foods. Eliminating carbs without strategy = increased cravings, mood issues, and stalled fat loss.   What Actually Helps Stabilize Blood Sugar Eat a protein-rich breakfast—especially before coffee. Focus on fiber-rich carbs like veggies, nuts, chia, and flax instead of slashing carbs. Don't ignore stress and sleep—they're as important as food. Aim for balance, not restriction.   Key Takeaways: Blood sugar imbalance is common and sneaky—even in women without diabetes. Listening to your body is the first test—trust what it tells you. Insulin resistance is the doorway to metabolic issues—even if you're just in the “pre-diabetic” zone. Blood sugar dysfunction affects belly fat, energy, brain clarity, and long-term health.

But by then the trouble has been brewing a long time. To be really health savvy, we need to understand the role the gut plays in health, which goes far beyond digestion, and begin taking care of it.

How much magnesium should you include in your daily regimen? Magnesium is involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, impacting everything from your energy levels to how well you sleep at night. But the question remains: how much do you really need to support your health during menopause? How much magnesium do you need? The daily recommended intake of magnesium varies, but generally, women aged 50 and above should aim for about 320 mg per day. However, needs can vary based on individual health conditions and dietary intake. To find out how much magnesium works for you, start with a lower dose and gradually increase it. Monitor how you feel—improvements in sleep, mood stabilization, and general well-being are indicators that your magnesium intake is on point. If you suspect you're low on magnesium, especially during menopause, it's a common concern. Talk to your healthcare provider about how much magnesium is right for you and explore the best ways to maintain adequate levels through diet or supplements.

Restore before more is the number one tenant of Flipping 50. In this episode we visit the concept that you restore hormones using bHRT.  Whether you are or you aren't. I'd say most women I know in 2024, are open to and already having conversations around hormone replacement.  In our 10th year at Flipping 50, we've been discussing pros and cons and what happens with body composition, bone density, muscle mass and brain health during menopause. We touch on the anecdotal evidence we have from thousands of participants, and fewer but more intimate, private clients who use or choose not to use bHRT and the results they get.  In this episode we introduce a new guest to the show who's book “Restore” takes look at the benefits of bHRT. Whether you are, aren't or your on the fence about ability to restore hormones and the effects on short and long term health, I think you'll like this episode.  My Guest: Dr. Gregory J Brannon is a surgeon, public figure, and founder of the leading Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) practice Optimal Bio where he oversees seven offices across North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. In addition to his current role of Physician and Medical Director at Optimal Bio, Brannon uses over 30 years of medical experience to educate others on taking ownership of their health. Dr. Brannon is the author of the 2020 published book, The Hormone Handbook: Optimizing Your Health Through Bioidentical Hormones, and will publish a second book in Spring 2024 titled “Restore.” Prior to spending 30 years as a successful private practice OBGYN in Cary, NC, Dr. Brannon completed his medical residency at University of Southern California Women's Hospital, Los Angeles, and then served as assistant professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at University of North Carolina School of Medicine, with work at Wake Area Health Education Center. Brannon's OB/GYN experience sparked his interest in hormones and how they work within the body. Impressed and inspired by his experience with BHRT, Brannon opened Optimal Bio in Cary, NC in 2012. Optimal Bio is a BHRT practice dedicated to bringing people's bodies back to the optimal levels they were initially designed to maintain. Questions We Answer in This Episode: What's the longest documented use to date of bHRT? What is some of the best research – documentation of the effects of bHRT on women who've taken them for decades vs have not on bone, muscle, brain health? Tell us about the research cited in your upcoming book “Restore” as they relate to women a BHRT seeking to restore her hormones.

In this episode discussing the midlife exercise rx I host Dr Kathleen Jordan as we discuss from a Medical Exercise Specialist and a physician the mash up of menopause symptoms and exercise solutions to mitigate and amplify good health now and for decades ahead.  In case you're curious, I have a couple stats.  Nearly 50% of medical schools offer any training in exercise physiology. And 0% of these require it. At least 80% of physicians don't feel comfortable recommending exercise.   When a doctor recommends exercise they're often helping you get moving at all. The suggestion to walk or do Pilates can be helpful. The match to your highest priorities comes from direct knowledge of the physiology of exercise + the physiology of menopause for the ideal midlife exercise Rx for you. Right now. Because it most certainly can change.  My Guest: Dr. Kathleen Jordan.  Described as a proponent of digital health and solving access issues, Dr. Kathleen Jordan has consistently leveraged innovative technology in patient care. After scaling her own medical practice, she became Chief Medical Officer at Dignity Health, then shifted to leadership roles at women's healthcare startups.

Her career highlights include: establishing telehealth services at Dignity Health; attaining the Health Equity Leadership Certification for the hospital and its programs; establishing a new trans health program in San Francisco for which she was awarded the Leadership in Innovation Award; helping Tia grow from one site to a multistate organization with leading healthcare system partnerships. She joined Midi with the goal of helping all women in midlife feel better and live stronger, longer. Her expertise has been tapped by The Washington Post, CNN, Yahoo News, and many other media outlets. She is a graduate of the UCLA School of Medicine and Stanford University. Questions We Answer in This Episode: What fitness and workout recommendations do you have for a woman navigating menopause and/or perimenopause?  What do you see are some common misunderstandings or mistakes women make in trying to maintain fitness over 50? A patient is in your office or on a telemedicine call, what's the source of confusion or most common complaints?  What do you believe to be the most important dietary considerations to further benefit a fitness routine during menopause? (and let's be clear- are these not important for women who aren't exercising?) Some women don't recognize they have entered perimenopause.. What are some of the lesser known or often overlooked symptoms? What do you see as a physician are some of the special exercise challenges of women in midlife hormonal transition?

If you're already coaching client nutrition, how's it going? Are your clients compliant? Seeing results? Are you digging in beyond weight and even muscle and body fat for results? Are you lab testing? Do you know how to suggest and to read a lab and adjust coaching based on that?  If any of those questions gave you reason to pause, this is an episode you want to tune into. Juggling the scope of practice with the leverage you have due to the sheer fact you spend more time with a client than their physician does, is a reality. We talk today about that elephant in the room. What's in scope, what's out, how genetics matter and labs reflect lifestyle.  What if your training in other areas of fitness, wellness and sports as a Menopause Fitness Specialist or other niche, is missing a crucial component preventing the breakthroughs you are looking for with your clients?  My Guest: Dr. Ritamarie Loscalzo, the founder of the Institute of Nutritional Endocrinology, is passionately committed to transforming our current broken disease-focused system into a true health care system where every practitioner is skilled at finding the root cause of health challenges and uses the wisdom of nature combined with modern scientific research to restore balance. Dr. Ritamarie, a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic with Certifications in Acupuncture, Nutrition, Herbal Medicine, and HeartMath®, specializes in insulin, thyroid, and adrenal, and digestive imbalances. She's also a master at using palate-pleasing, whole fresh food as medicine, and is a best-selling author, speaker, and internationally recognized nutrition and functional health authority with over 30 years of clinical experience. Her podcast, Reinvent Healthcare, provides health and wellness practitioners around the globe to be part of the movement to provide root-cause care to people in need. Questions We Answer in this Episode: Let's first define nutrition endocrinology and how you got started  How are fitness & health pros shortchanged in certifications about how to coach people about diet? The one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work, but scope-of-practice makes fitness pros and health coaches nervous. How can health & fitness pros bridge the gap within their scope of practice when working with clients?  Lab testing and interpretation combined with genetics is something listeners likely have a broad range in experience doing, to just beginning to understand they can actually be front lines in identifying their own and clients source of obstacles/success. For those not yet proficient or confident in their ability to support a client in this way, can you give them insight into how it can be a game-changer for their business and ability to support clients?  This is my favorite topic for fitness & health pros, we've just done an entire new series on working with women in perimenopause, postmenopause and the menopause transition for coaches, I'd love to hear you discuss how hormones play a role in not only optimal fitness but nutrition programs for clients? You've been educating fitness & health practitioners for (how long?) You've seen not only a huge impact on your consumers, but likely on the businesses of the professionals you serve. Do you have any examples of how life-changing having these skills is for health & fitness pros?  Questions on coaching client nutrition? Messages from your business, liability insurance provider, or certification agency may give you reason to pause.

If you've never given thought to how your gut impacts mood, this is the time. No mood swings or lows to complain about? Stay with me.

The chronic pain of tight upper back and neck and mid back combined with desire to gain strength and muscle through lifting weights may just be creating a vicious cycle. Could you be not over exercising, but under aware of your posture, over amplifying poor postural habits by your lifting and making things worse.  Recently, three individuals on the same day, made me aware that lifting heavier caused acute tension and resulted in headaches either immediately or later after the workout. We reviewed posture. Chronically, forward head hang was a common denominator, either as static posture or in movement or working.  When you take something already imbalance and add weight to it, only one thing can happen, a further imbalance. At some point the body will cry uncle.  My guest today will make this crystal clear for you and, for me.  If this is you, the duration of our episode is not enough to resolve your problem. It's enough to make you fully aware of why massages and shoulder rubs and Theraguns haven't done the trick for you. There's another free resource we talk about at the end of the podcast so you can get more help.  My Guest:  Dr. Yoni Whitten is an expert in the art and science of permanent pain resolution. In addition to his hands-on work with patients over the last 15 years, Dr. Whitten has spent years researching and studying with experts in manual medicine, functional neurology and rehabilitation.

Now, the system that Dr. Whitten developed has been codified and is available to chronic pain sufferers around the world. The Pain Fix Protocol, blends the latest scientific research with essential concepts from the fields of natural movement, evolutionary health, nutrition, structural hygiene, self-care and human performance.  Questions We Answer in this Episode:  Headaches are too common among our women - what are common causes? Are upper back and neck pain related to headaches?  Rounded upper back or kyphosis  What's the cause for mid back tightness or pain - rhomboid area  What are your thoughts about hanging or foam rolling?  What's the first step in fixing upper back and neck pain… permanently?

Which hormones matter most for your health during and after menopause? I'm asked far too often about unique individual hormones. This week it was testosterone and DHEA. Both I wrote about in You Still Got It, Girl! Yet, you don't want to just look at individual hormones without looking at the whole picture of your signs, symptoms, basically your subjective measures and your objective measures of muscle mass, bone density, strength changes, sleep number (to some extent) and even Heart Rate Variability. I brought the hormone mistress (she doesn't know I'm calling her that!) on this episode and we talk about something spontaneously that I hadn't intended to ask but decided I needed to and that was about her concern for the vast array of information coming from Google and social media influencers who don't necessarily stay in their scope and who are most concerned with the attention and followers than the accuracy of information.  Need a start to exercise this fall? Try the 5 Day Flip. It's free. One workout a day for 5 days. Less than 20 minutes a day.

Cortisol hormone, it's a love hate relationship. It's energy. It's stress. It's stress energy. It's energy stress. It's where we get energy to exercise. It's what we sometimes need to purge with activity. It keeps us up. It can keep us down. It can prevent weight loss. It can increase belly fat storage.  Stop the stress-induced loss of muscle with protein. Did you know fasting too long can dial up  your blood sugar level and keep you in muscle protein breakdown? That's increasing fat and decreasing metabolism at the same time. Break your fast and start getting a high hit of protein in the morning - and definitely before exercise if it's intense.  Check out this comment from a recent coaching client: “I love your protein. I've tried others; and yours is so clean.”  https://www.flippingfifty.com/protein (and don't forget the fiber)  I start with a 50g protein breakfast most days and never felt better or kept fat and muscle where I want them as easily.  The cortisol hormone is a curse or blessing.

Start with the gut.

But by then the trouble has been brewing a long time. To be really health savvy, we need to understand the role the gut plays in health, which goes far beyond digestion, and begin taking care of it.

What happens after a betrayal? And what qualifies as a betrayal? Is it when your sister breaks a promise or your parents fail to accept your partner? Is it when a friend fails to be there for you during a time of need? Is it when someone keeps the truth from you for years yet claims it's not a lie?  [00:00] We've all been betrayed by someone in our lives. Some small betrayals happen regularly. Others, the big ones, the hurtful deeply painful ones aren't as easily forgotten or overlooked. But when betrayal happens from someone you love there are some big decisions that are made. Consciously or unconsciously they're made. We don't stay the same.  Even if we were to pretend we could, after a betrayal everything changes. Does a relationship go on, can it? Can you get past it?  Are there degrees of betrayal? Some for which there's no healing? And others that are easier to move through? I ask my guest these questions today. And we'll have questions for you too. In fact, if you're able you may want to take the quiz even before you listen. The link is in the show notes to find the quiz. Those show notes are: … “after a betrayal.” My Guest: Dr. Debi Silber is the founder of the PBT (Post Betrayal Transformation) Institute and is a holistic psychologist, health, mindset, and personal development expert, the author of Trust Again, and is a 2-time #1 International bestselling author of The Unshakable Woman AND From Hardened to Healed: The Effortless Path to Release Resistance, Get Unstuck and Create a Life You Love. Her podcast: From Betrayal to Breakthrough is also globally ranked within the top 1.5% of podcasts. Her recent Ph.D. study on how we experience betrayal made 3 groundbreaking discoveries that changes how long it takes to heal. In addition to being on FOX, CBS, The Dr. Oz Show, TEDx (twice), and more, she's an award-winning speaker and coach dedicated to helping people move past their betrayals as well as any other blocks preventing them from their health, work, relationships, confidence, and happiness they want most. Questions we answer in this episode:  [03:40] Who decides what qualifies as a betrayal?  [06:00] Tell us about betrayal-why does it hurt, what does it impact, what does it create?

Developmental milestones have changes for the first time in 20 years, specifically the timeframe that a child should meet them. Why did they do that? The answer isn't what you might think it is. In this episode, Dr. Martin Rosen and I discuss the importance of developmental milestones for your baby (what they are, when they should hit them, what it means if they're not reaching one). We also discuss some of the reasons why the CDC recently changed the timing of them and the negative effects this may have on our children's growth and development. My Guest: Dr. Martin Rosen is a 1981 summa cum laude graduate of Life Chiropractic College.  Since 1982 he has maintained a private practice in Wellesley, MA.  Besides his practice Dr. Rosen has traveled nationally and internationally teaching chiropractic technique, pediatrics, cranial adjusting, chiropractic philosophy and practice management.  His educational offerings include hands on and online workshops and seminars, guest lectures, instructional videos, written books and articles, published research papers and one on one interviews. He is dedicated to giving chiropractors the tools and skills necessary to take care of children and to inspire them to expand this branch of chiropractic. With his wife, Dr. Nancy Watson, they run the Peak Potential Institute offering premier educational programs for the chiropractic profession.  Their most recent book “It's All in the Head”, published for the public, was written to inform and bring awareness of the implications that cranial distortions can have in the initial stages of childhood growth and development.

What do menopause and immunity have in common? This episode examines menopause and immunity to help you optimize your response in these times. Hormones and immunity are so closely linked. Since April 2020 I've been sharing with you that if you're focused on one, you win with the other two.    “Moderation is an emotional excuse to eat foods that are not good for you.” My Guest:  Dr. Patrick Flynn, DC is the founder of The Wellness Way Clinics. In his youth, he experienced a series of events that led him to discover immune and neurological issues. This discovery prompted Dr. Flynn to begin his health journey, define his life purpose, and initiate the pursuit of his education. It ultimately led him to his dynamic career, where he has created a totally different approach to healthcare.  He's got a long list of education institutions including Palmer College of Chiropractic, National Health Sciences, and the Harvard Medical School HMX fundamentals online certificate program in immunology, where he honed his focus on hormones and the immune system.  Dr. Flynn is the bestselling author of the book, I Disagree. His wildly popular public seminar, The Hormone Connection, has been viewed by hundreds of thousands of people. He has trained thousands of doctors and his network is now comprised of over 80 clinics around the world.    If your ovaries no longer make hormones, your adrenals are weak and tired, your body will produce more fat to produce hormones.    Questions we answer on this podcast: Is there a correlation between menopause & low immunity? What can women in menopause do to help their immune function optimally? Does age have to dictate how well your immune system works? How can the loss of hormones affect the immune system? What are your recommendations for women to help their hormones and their immune system? What are examples of a woman not taking care of her hormones?  What are the fastest ways to trash your immune system?    “Hormone conversion happens within the liver”   There you have it, the connection between menopause and immunity and some mic-drop moments we can't put in print here.

Start with the gut.

But by then the trouble has been brewing a long time. To be really health savvy, we need to understand the role the gut plays in health, which goes far beyond digestion, and begin taking care of it. A graduate of Columbia University and New York University School of Medicine. Dr. Lamm is the recipient of numerous honors, including American Bariatric Society Recognition Award, Alpha Omega Alpha Award, New York Founders Day Award. Dr. Lamm is active in clinical research and is a panel physician for the New York State Athletic Commission.

My female listeners are not strangers to tossing and turning, then experiencing cravings – all related to cortisol and blood sugar changes… Do menopause sleep changes that so many women experience (and men – in andropause) put us at risk of type 2 diabetes? Resistance training as a key exercise strategy in our 50s is necessary Tell me how you advocate for that… or more importantly where do you sit when faced with advising clients to exercise… cardio or strength? My listeners all potentially struggle with balance… or defining it… from the Dr herself what's the medical opinion, is it possible to find the balance in selfcare despite other demands in our lives?

Co-Host Dr. Mark Goulston (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/crazy) My Guest Dr. Mark Goulston is a psychiatrist and the world's foremost expert in relational conflict management. He's the author of many NYT bestselling books, including Talking To Crazy: How to Deal with the Irrational and Impossible People in Your Life. Conventional wisdom on how to deal with irrational people is typically that you simply can't. But Mark will systematically dismantle that notion in this episode, offering truly genius ways to communicate with angry, unreasonable and even antagonistic people...even getting them to work WITH you instead of against you. Nowhere is this skill set more important than in our relationships with women, and Dr. Goulston does not disappoint. He brings solid strategies and practical steps to 'taming the shrew', and you'll likely be amazed by how so many of us as men tend to do the exact opposite of what works when arguing with women. Why does telling someone to 'calm down' always seem to make them even more upset? What is it about 'mansplaining' that drives women nuts? When exactly is a smile not what you should be hoping for? And what has Mark learned from years of couples counseling, suicide intervention and training hostage negotiators? Stay tuned until the end for a great story from Mark's single days...what happened when women on dates found out he was a psychiatrist? You'll emerge from this episode feeling more confident than ever anytime conflict arises with the woman in your life, or anyone else.

If everything you put in is diet, your life and health have been dramatically influenced by so much more than what's on the end of your fork. Today's guest has insight for the Flipping50 community of health influencers - those who impact so many generations.  We know... The best time to begin working on your health in midlife and old age is when you're young. But hindsight being what it is, you know that already right? And you also know it's never too late. But the truth is today's kids have more challenges than we ever did. They won't go outside and play all day ‘til dark, riding their bikes freely all over town. We were the last generation to play kickball ‘til our parents called us and to say “outside” to “where are you going?” and have that be enough. Remember when? We were also the last generation to have eaten fast food more as a treat than the norm. While we may have watched TV, we had to get up and change the channel. We didn't play on computers or text our parents from downstairs. And we weren't obese in large numbers by the time we reached elementary school. But today it's different. And if a child is obese or has chronic health issues, the chances they'll thrive as an adult is dramatically reduced. My guest today wants to do something about that. You may have children or youth still at home. You may have grandchildren or will. You and I touch the lives of those who care for youth. I think this episode will appeal to you if you're a mother, grandmother, or someone who loves children and values health. My guest is the author of a new book call D.R.E.A.M. Wellness and I think you'll want to know more – and potentially share it. My Guest: Dr. Brian Stenzler has been helping parents raise healthy children since 1998 when he received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree with honors in Clinical Excellence and a Master's in Sports Health Science in 1999, both from Life University. He is a certified Ultimate Life Tool (ULT) Facilitator & Corporate Consultant and uses that tool (along with his formal education and 23+ years of clinical experience) to help families create more health, happiness and stronger relationships. Dr. Stenzler has served his profession in numerous roles including President of the California Chiropractic Association from 2014-2016. Aside from participating on the wellness team for the USGA where he takes care of the professional golfers, caddies and volunteers at the US Open Championship tournaments each year, he works with hundreds of families in his three DREAM Wellness centers that are filled with newborns, toddlers, teenagers... and their parents (& grandparents) too! Early in his career, Dr. Stenzler was an adjunct neurology instructor for the New York College for Health Professions in Long Island, NY. Dr. Stenzler uses his vast knowledge of the nervous system in everything he does, whether it be adjusting patients, providing lifestyle advice or speaking to audiences. Healthy is not the absence of disease. -Brian Stenzler Questions we answer in this episode: What started you journey to become a healthcare provider? Why kids? From your bio, you've got a diverse set of interests. What is the nervous system's role when it comes to general health and well-being? What does D.R.E.A.M. stand for? How does the D.R.E.A.M. lifestyle impact a person's ability to adapt to stress/stressors and age gracefully?    Everything you put in is Diet. -Brian Stenzler URL: www.DREAMWellnessBook.com Social Media: https://www.facebook.com/brianstenzler https://www.facebook.com/dreamparents https://www.instagram.com/dreamwellness/ Your turn: I'd love to hear from you - are there thoughts, words, or beliefs you have that have impacted the health you have right now that you would change ?
