Many important nutrients that impact how you feel every day aren't typically included in your annual blood work. This is where functional medicine goes deeper—looking beyond what's “normal." When several nutrients are depleted or sitting at the low end of the range, it can point to issues with diet, absorption, or metabolism. In today's episode, we're breaking down the key vitamins and minerals we often see running low on labs, and why even mild deficiencies can make a big difference in your energy, mood, and overall health.Can't get enough FUNC YOU UP!?

In this episode of Revolution Health Radio, Chris explores natural solutions for one of today's most pressing challenges: chronic stress, anxiety, and poor sleep. He shares his top five nutrients for restoring calm and focus (saffron, L-theanine, lemon balm, holy basil, and ashwagandha), revealing how each supports the brain and body's ability to relax, recharge, and build resilience. Drawing from both scientific research and clinical experience, Chris explains how these compounds balance neurotransmitters, reduce cortisol, and improve mood and sleep quality without sedation or dependence. Listeners will learn practical strategies for combining these nutrients safely and effectively to achieve steady energy, emotional balance, and deep, restorative rest. This episode offers a roadmap to move from wired and tired to calm and clear, using evidence-based tools rooted in both modern science and ancient wisdom. The post RHR: From Wired & Tired to Calm & Clear: My Top Nutrients for Mood, Focus, and Sleep appeared first on Chris Kresser.

Chocolate, cheese, and wine — the holy trinity of migraine “triggers.” But what if they're not villains, after all, but messengers from your body asking you to listen more closely?In this episode of Migraine Heroes Podcast, host Diane Ducarme explores the real story behind these indulgences — and why your reactions to them may reveal more about your brain and gut health than about the foods themselves.We blend neuroscience, gut microbiome research, and Eastern medicine wisdom to uncover how pleasure and balance coexist — even in the migraine world.You'll discover:

A study in the journal Nutrients explored the effects of Lepidium meyenii Walpers (LMW), also known as Maca, on salivary gland damage caused by radiation in mice. Researchers found that mice treated with an LMW extract (LMWE) showed significant improvements compared to an untreated radiation-injury group. Specifically, LMWE treatment reduced the saliva secretion lag time from about 198 seconds in the injured group to as low as 159 seconds. Furthermore, the higher dose of LMWE increased salivary amylase activity by over 20% and helped restore the weight of the salivary glands. The study also identified two potentially new active compounds in Maca, DHPPD and E4Z-PD, which appeared to selectively promote the differentiation of specific types of salivary gland cells in a lab setting. These findings suggest that LMWE may help protect against and regenerate salivary gland dysfunction following radiation injury through its antioxidant and cell-differentiating properties.This information is for educational purposes only and should not be interpreted as medical advice. The study discussed was conducted on animals and in vitro (lab) models. Further research is needed to confirm these findings in humans. Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional before making any changes to your diet, supplement regimen, or treatment plan, especially if you have a medical condition or are taking medications.#LepidiumMeyenii #Xerostomia #SalivaryGland #RadiationInjury #MacaRootTsai, Y.-T.; Lin, Y.-C.; Cheng, M.-J.; Shih, C.-M.; Tsai, C.-S.; Lai, Z.-H.; Wu, C.-Y.; Liu, C.-W.; Lin, F.-Y.; Lin, Y.-W.

Episode DescriptionWhat if detox wasn't about deprivation, but about bringing your body back into flow?In this episode, Shelley Swapp blends Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy with cutting-edge nutrigenomics to reveal how your body's natural detox pathways influence hormones, metabolism, and energy. You'll learn why restoring gentle flow—rather than forcing a cleanse—is the key to long-term balance.Shelley explains how genes like NRF2, GSTM1, GSTT1, GCLM, and COMT shape your ability to clear hormones and toxins, and how everyday foods, herbs, and joyful practices can switch those genes on again. From the “savings-account” power of glutathione to the hormone-balancing effects of sulforaphane from broccoli sprouts, this episode turns complex biochemistry into everyday wisdom.“Your genes may show where the river narrows, but your lifestyle is the water itself—bringing life back into those channels, one small, consistent ripple at a time.”

A recent 8-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study explored the effects of the probiotic strain Weizmannia coagulans BC99 on symptoms of anxiety and depression. The trial involved 79 participants who received either 3 grams of the BC99 probiotic, containing 5 billion CFUs, or a placebo daily. While both groups saw improvements, the BC99 group experienced a greater reduction in depression and anxiety scores (HAMD and HAMA scales) compared to the placebo group, though this difference was not statistically significant.More significantly, the study found that BC99 supplementation led to several key biological changes. It helped regulate inflammatory cytokines, notably increasing the anti-inflammatory IL-10. Participants taking BC99 also showed a significant increase in the calming neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (-GABA). Furthermore, the probiotic altered the gut microbiome by increasing the abundance of beneficial bacteria like Faecalibactrium, Megamonas, Dialister, and Agathobacter, while also boosting the production of beneficial short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like propionic and isobutyric acid. These findings suggest BC99 may alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression by positively influencing the gut-brain axis.3.

God gave us a body to take care of and it is important to maintain that body with love and care. Especially because we are at the end of the genesis curse, there are many considerations these days to living a healthy life. It is also important from an eschatological perspective, because one day the world will ostracize those who do not obey its counterfeit system of worship — which means we must not be dependent on institutions or pharmaceutical drugs as much as possible. In this free series I go over 20 years of experience in the realm of health and wellness and discuss important strategies on how to maintain what we've been given so that you can be as healthy as possible for what's to come. * 00:00 - Introduction* 06:56 - Genetic Testing* 14:36 - Testing for Nutrients* 30:20 - Detox This is a public episode.

Deux assiettes : l'une remplie de pâtes, l'autre de riz blanc. À première vue, elles semblent équivalentes, deux féculents riches en glucides, souvent interchangeables dans nos repas. Mais les chercheurs se sont penchés sur leurs effets réels sur l'organisme, et les résultats sont instructifs.Une étude publiée dans la revue Nutrients a comparé la réponse du corps après la consommation de pâtes ou de riz blanc chez des adultes, y compris des personnes diabétiques. Le constat est clair : les pâtes provoquent des pics de glycémie beaucoup plus modérés que le riz blanc. Autrement dit, le sucre dans le sang grimpe moins vite et moins haut après un plat de pâtes qu'après une portion de riz. L'étude a même mesuré un écart d'environ 40 mg/dL entre les deux. C'est une différence importante, car ces pics répétés de glycémie sont associés au risque de diabète, de maladies cardiovasculaires et de fatigue post-repas.Un autre aspect essentiel est la satiété. Une équipe espagnole a comparé les effets du riz et des pâtes sur la sensation de faim. Résultat : les pâtes rassasient plus longtemps. Après un repas de pâtes, les participants se sentaient plus pleins et mangeaient moins aux repas suivants que ceux qui avaient consommé du riz. Pour la gestion du poids et de l'appétit, cet effet n'est pas négligeable.Bien sûr, tout dépend du type d'aliment. Le riz complet, riche en fibres et en minéraux, n'a pas le même impact que le riz blanc très raffiné. De la même façon, des pâtes complètes ou enrichies en protéines sont plus intéressantes que des pâtes très industrielles. Il existe aussi un facteur appelé « amidon résistant » : lorsque l'on cuit puis refroidit des féculents comme les pâtes ou le riz, une partie de l'amidon devient plus difficile à digérer. Cela atténue encore la montée du sucre dans le sang et nourrit la flore intestinale.Raconter cette différence revient à comparer deux carburants. Le riz blanc est une essence qui brûle vite : il donne un pic d'énergie rapide mais retombe aussi vite. Les pâtes, elles, libèrent leur énergie plus lentement, comme un carburant plus stable.Alors, lequel est « meilleur » ? Sur le plan scientifique, les pâtes, surtout complètes ou de bonne qualité, offrent des avantages pour la régulation du sucre et la satiété. Mais le riz, notamment complet et bien préparé, reste un aliment sain. En réalité, le choix dépend de l'équilibre global du régime alimentaire, de la variété, et des besoins individuels.

Le matcha, ce thé vert en poudre très concentré, est souvent présenté comme une super-boisson grâce à ses antioxydants et ses composés bénéfiques. Mais est-il dangereux pour la santé ? Les études scientifiques permettent d'apporter une réponse nuancée.Les bienfaits avérésPlusieurs recherches mettent en avant des effets positifs. Une revue critique publiée dans Frontiers in Nutrition décrit que le matcha améliore le métabolisme du glucose, réduit l'inflammation, favorise la perte de graisse et pourrait avoir un effet protecteur sur la cognition. Une étude randomisée publiée dans Nutrients a montré qu'il pouvait influencer favorablement le microbiote intestinal. Enfin, une synthèse publiée dans Food Research International souligne sa richesse en EGCG, un puissant antioxydant, ainsi que son potentiel effet bénéfique sur la santé cardiovasculaire et le stress oxydatif.Les risques potentielsCependant, la consommation de matcha n'est pas exempte de précautions. Le premier point concerne sa teneur en caféine. Plus concentré que le thé vert classique, le matcha peut provoquer nervosité, insomnie ou palpitations chez les personnes sensibles. Ensuite, les catéchines et tanins qu'il contient réduisent l'absorption du fer non héminique. Des nutritionnistes rappellent que cela peut poser problème chez les femmes en âge de procréer, les végétariens ou toute personne à risque de carence en fer.Autre limite : les effets sur le foie. Des cas de perturbations hépatiques ont été rapportés avec des compléments à base de thé vert très concentré. Même si les doses de matcha en boisson restent généralement bien en dessous, cela incite à la prudence pour ceux qui en consomment de grandes quantités ou présentent des fragilités hépatiques. Enfin, comme tout produit végétal, la qualité est déterminante : des analyses ont mis en avant le risque potentiel de contamination par des métaux lourds ou pesticides si le matcha n'est pas produit correctement.ConclusionLe matcha n'est pas dangereux lorsqu'il est consommé avec modération. Ses bénéfices – antioxydants, soutien métabolique et possible protection cognitive – sont bien documentés. Mais des excès ou une consommation inadaptée peuvent poser problème, surtout en cas de sensibilité à la caféine, de carence en fer ou de troubles hépatiques. Les experts recommandent de ne pas dépasser une à deux tasses par jour, de le consommer loin des repas riches en fer et de privilégier des produits de qualité. Hébergé par Acast.

Childhood asthma affects 4.6 million U.S. kids, and research now shows zinc deficiency drives more inflammation, worse lung function, and greater breathing problems Zinc strengthens airway barriers, trains immune cells, reduces allergic inflammation, and helps repair tissues, making it central to protecting children against worsening asthma symptoms A review in Nutrients found zinc deficiency in children consistently linked to more severe asthma and allergic rhinitis, with greater benefits when levels were restored A large U.S. analysis showed overweight children eating more zinc-rich foods had up to 29% lower odds of asthma and fewer attacks compared to peers Zinc works best when sourced from whole foods like beef, lamb, oysters, and eggs, with supplements serving only as a backup when your diet falls short

C'est une question qui revient souvent, car la banane a la réputation ambiguë de constiper. Mais que disent les données scientifiques ?D'abord, il faut savoir que toutes les bananes ne se valent pas ! Tout dépend de son degré de maturité. Une banane encore verte contient beaucoup d'amidon résistant, une forme d'amidon que l'intestin grêle digère mal. Résultat : il arrive presque intact dans le côlon, où il nourrit le microbiote. Cet amidon a un effet plutôt rassasiant, mais peut aussi ralentir un peu le transit. C'est probablement de là que vient la croyance que les bananes « bloquent ».En revanche, quand elle mûrit, l'amidon de la banane se transforme en sucres simples et la teneur en fibres solubles, comme la pectine, augmente. Ces fibres solubles retiennent l'eau dans l'intestin et ramollissent les selles, ce qui favorise au contraire un meilleur transit. Autrement dit : une banane mûre a plutôt un effet régulateur qu'un effet constipant.Qu'en dit la science ? Une étude publiée en 2014 dans le World Journal of Gastroenterology a montré que l'amidon résistant de la banane verte ralentissait effectivement le transit intestinal chez certains sujets sensibles. Mais d'autres travaux, comme une revue parue en 2017 dans Nutrients, soulignent le rôle bénéfique des fibres de la banane mûre dans la prévention de la constipation, notamment chez les enfants.Chez l'enfant justement, une étude menée en 2012 au Sri Lanka sur plus de 350 écoliers (Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism) a révélé que la consommation de banane mûre réduisait significativement les plaintes de constipation. Les auteurs insistent cependant : l'effet dépend du degré de maturité du fruit et de l'alimentation globale de l'enfant.En pratique, tout est donc une question de nuance :Banane verte → plus d'amidon résistant, peut ralentir le transit.Banane mûre → plus de sucres et de fibres solubles, aide à ramollir les selles.Dernier point : la banane contient aussi du potassium et du magnésium, qui participent à la contraction musculaire, y compris celle des muscles intestinaux. Un apport régulier contribue ainsi à un transit équilibré.Verdict : faux, la banane ne constipe pas… sauf si elle est encore verte. Mûre, elle agit même plutôt comme un régulateur naturel du transit.

Today, I am delighted to reconnect with two previous guests, Dr. Darren Candow. Dr. Candow is a distinguished professor and an internationally renowned researcher on creatine monohydrate, nutrition, and physical activity, whom I had the pleasure of speaking with on Episode 301, where we discussed creatine.  We are doing an AMA session today, delving into various themes surrounding creatine, from debunking outdated RDA recommendations to exploring the synergies between strength training and creatine efficacy. We examine the cognitive benefits of creatine, investigating its interactions with caffeine and its implications for bone health, hydration, anabolic resistance, and metabolic health.  You will find today's AMA session as enlightening and enriching as I did while recording it. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: The safety and efficacy of creatine as a supplement How creatine increases muscle mass and reduces protein catabolism The benefits of combining creatine with protein  Is it better to take creatine before or after a workout? How creatine supplementation may improve brain performance and mental clarity Why exercise is essential for those who want to experience the benefits of creatine for maintaining their bone health The benefits of resistance-band workouts for post-menopausal women Are there any age-related limits for creatine supplementation? Bio: Dr. Darren Candow Dr. Darren Candow, PhD, CSEP-CEP, is Professor and Director of the Aging Muscle and Bone Health Laboratory in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies at the University of Regina, Canada.

Okay, you've probably heard me say before that I don't recommend getting blood work for your hormones because the results are often inaccurate, misleading, and honestly just a waste of your time, LOL. However, there are three nutrients I do want you to test via blood work. These three are extremely important for ovulation, egg quality, implantation, men's and women's fertility, and overall a healthy pregnancy.Chapters in this episode: 00:00 Introduction to Fertility and Nutrient Testing02:54 The Importance of Vitamin B12 for Fertility06:01 Understanding Vitamin D3 and Its Role in Reproductive Health08:48 The Significance of Iron Levels in Fertility11:47 Preparing for IVF: Nutritional Considerations14:23 Holistic Approach to Fertility and Hormonal HealthWays to work with Corinne: Join the Mind Your Hormones Method, HERE!

Conventional medicine often stops at the numbers, low AMH, high FSH for Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) and turns quickly to donor eggs or IVF. But through a functional fertility lens, we can uncover hidden factors like inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, gut health, and hormone imbalances that may support ovarian function and improve pregnancy success. In this episode of Get Pregnant Naturally, Fab Fertile founder Sarah Clark explains how functional fertility strategies can help reverse POI and improve your chances of conceiving with your own eggs. You'll also hear Amanda's story: she was told she'd never conceive naturally with an AMH of 0.08 ng/mL, yet went on to have her daughter. This episode is for you if: You've been told your only option with POI, low AMH, or high FSH is donor eggs You've experienced recurrent miscarriage or failed IVF cycles You want evidence-based strategies to improve egg quality and fertility outcomes naturally We'll cover the difference between genetic and idiopathic POI, why functional fertility shines in unexplained cases, and the top mistakes people make with a POI diagnosis. You'll leave with practical steps you can take right now to support ovarian function. Subscribe to Get Pregnant Naturally for evidence-based guidance on functional fertility, and share this episode with anyone on their fertility journey. Not sure where to start?

The nutrition world can be so confusing, don't you agree? A new protein powder, immune boosting pill, brain health or other dietary supplement seems to appear on the market every day, and they are ALL being promoted as necessary for wellness. You see adverts everywhere – on social media, in the midst of YouTube videos, on websites, and through TV commercials. There's so much noise and information that we don't know where to turn, and it's all so tiring. Or we get pulled into the latest nutrition hype and because we're afraid of missing out, we end up spending a ton of money on nutritional products and over-supplement to try to cover ALL our bases.   Let's cut through the hype and clear up this confusion. In this episode, I want to share about 3 important nutrients that plant-based eaters and vegans need to be mindful of for good health.

Nutrients are far more than supplements on a shelf—they are life-sustaining molecules that determine how well the body ages and resists disease. For years, their importance was overlooked because many studies were poorly designed, failing to consider existing nutrient levels or how vitamins and minerals work together. Strong evidence now shows multivitamins can slow brain aging, omega-3s can extend life expectancy, and shortages of vitamin D, magnesium, and B12 are widespread drivers of inflammation and chronic illness. Knowing and addressing individual deficiencies is critical, as these nutrients power billions of chemical reactions every second and are foundational to vitality and longevity. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Rhonda Patrick and Steve Martocci, why nutrients are essential for a healthy body and how to choose the highest quality supplements. Dr. Rhonda Patrick is a scientist and health educator recognized for her leadership in aging and disease prevention. As the founder of FoundMyFitness, she provides evidence-based insights to a global audience through her website and podcast. On YouTube, she engages millions in in-depth discussions on evidence-based strategies for well-being. Dr. Patrick's focus areas include genetic influences in dietary response, micronutrients, sleep, non-pharmacological approaches to mental well-being, and the surprising and paradoxical benefits of biological stressors such as exercise, heat, cold exposure, and plant phytochemicals. As an associate scientist and board member at the Fatty Acid Research Institute, she advances understanding of omega-3 fatty acids in aging and health. Her research has been published in high-impact journals like Nature Cell Biology, Experimental Gerontology, and FASEB. Steve Martocci is the co-founder and CEO of Suppco, a smart supplement tracking platform helping people take the right supplements with confidence. After years of struggling with his health and hitting 300 pounds, Steve turned to functional medicine and supplements to reclaim his well-being. That personal transformation—and the confusion he faced along the way—inspired him to build Suppco. Suppco helps users track what they're taking, avoid unnecessary or low-quality products, and personalize their supplement routine with tools like brand TrustScores, protocol guides, and stack analysis.
