And almost nobody is talking about it. Catharine Arnston is the founder of Energy Bits, a PhD holder, and the world's leading voice on spirulina and chlorella — the two algae she calls your nutritional and health insurance. She found this world trying to help her sister recover from breast cancer, spent 17 years going deeper into science than anyone else has, and is now nearly 70 years old with more energy, clarity, and vitality than most people half her age. The proof is in everything she says. In this episode, you'll discover:  • Why spirulina's amino acid profile is almost identical to mother's breast milk — and how it protects the mitochondria, clears brain fog, and rebuilds energy at a cellular level without stimulants or crashes  • What chlorella actually does inside the body: pulling out heavy metals, toxins, and excess iron while triggering serotonin production, improving mood, and getting your gut moving  • Why most algae on the market has had its most critical nutrients deactivated — and what to look for to make sure you're getting the real thing Aging is natural. Declining is not.

Your body has been talking to you your whole life. The question is whether anyone ever taught you to listen. In this episode, I want to widen the lens on how you read your own body. We have lost so much of the generational knowledge our mothers and grandmothers once passed down, and now we tend to wait until something hurts before we pay attention. But your body speaks in subtleties long before that. I share one of my great loves, Ayurveda, the 5,000-year-old healing system I studied for three years, and its practice of observation called the eightfold examination. What fascinates me most is how closely it aligns with modern functional nutrition's Nutrition Focused Physical Exam. We walk through what your tongue, skin, hair, nails, and eyes may be reflecting about your gut health, your nutrient status, your oxidative stress, and even your blood sugar, backed by research going back nearly 80 years. Here is what matters most. This is not about self-diagnosis. None of these signs are proof of anything on their own. They are invitations to pay attention, not verdicts to fear. My hope is that noticing your body builds confidence instead of anxiety, the quiet confidence of a woman in a loving conversation with her body rather than at war with it. If you take one small thing from this episode, try this. Tomorrow morning, look at your tongue and just notice. Do it for a week. That is the practice.   Resources Mentioned: Work with Laura: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/health  Download for iPhone:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kajabi/id1485646310 Download for Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kajabi.kajabiapp&hl=en_US Here is the link to the FREE Ayurveda Mini-Course that I talked about in this episode: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/mybody   Here are the references: Foundational Asif T, Mohiuddin A, Hasan B, Pauly RR.

You're not depressed. You're not in crisis. You're functioning, showing up, holding it all together. But something is still off, and you can't quite name it.This episode is for that person.Brandi and Dr. Desiree Caruso, ND sit down to break down the real biology behind low-grade mood dysregulation — the kind that doesn't show up in standard bloodwork but is absolutely happening in your body. We're talking about two specific functional mushrooms, lion's mane and reishi, and going straight into the mechanisms: the actual compounds, the actual pathways, and the actual research that explains why these mushrooms have a genuine relationship with how you feel.This is not a vibe episode. This is the science.We've been asked over and over again whether functional mushrooms can do something for mood, and if so, how. Today we answer that question properly. If you've ever walked out of a doctor's appointment feeling dismissed — told everything looks normal, maybe it's stress, maybe it's your age — this episode is what comes next.What you'll learn:Why mood is a physiological state, not just a feeling, and what that means for how you address itThe specific terpenoid compounds in lion's mane (hericenones) that can cross the blood-brain barrier and what they do once they get thereWhy BDNF is the mechanism most antidepressants are thought to work through, and how lion's mane stimulates it directlyHow 90% of your serotonin is produced in your gut, and exactly how lion's mane supports that pathwayThe three-directional approach lion's mane takes: blood-brain barrier, neuroinflammation, and gut-brain axis simultaneouslyWhat the HPA axis is, why chronic stress dysregulates it, and how reishi's ganoderic acids help restore the natural cortisol rhythmReishi's relationship with GABA, the brain's calming neurotransmitter, and why that explains the felt sense of settling downThe 2026 randomized controlled trial showing measurable reductions in anxiety, cortisol, and inflammation at 12 weeksHow disrupted sleep literally changes how your brain processes emotional information, and the two specific mechanisms reishi addresses to help with thatHow to self-diagnose which mushroom fits your experience right now, and what to track over four weeks to know whether it's workingResources Mentioned:Dr. Andrew Huberman episode on adenosine and coffee: https://www.hubermanlab.com/episode/using-caffeine-to-optimize-mental-and-physical-performanceVigna, L. et al.

You can eat all the "right" foods and still be starving your body of what it actually needs. Healthy and well-nourished are NOT the same thing, and that gap is wider in 2026 than ever. I'm Dr. E, the NP with the PhD, and this is The Medical Disruptor. In this solo episode I explain why getting all your nutrients from food alone has become nearly impossible, even on a clean, whole-food, plant-heavy diet. Industrial farming has left much of our soil depleted, so fruits and vegetables grow with fewer nutrients than they used to carry. That same soil affects the meat and fish in our food chain too. Then produce travels thousands of miles and sits for days or weeks, losing nutrients the whole way, so what lands on your plate is not what was picked. Listen to the full episode to see why you can be doing everything right and still feel fatigued, foggy, low, and wrung out. Your symptoms are usually the first sign your body is running low, long before any test flags a problem. Stop being dismissed. Start being informed. Want more practical health tips?

We have been dramatically softened, weakened, poisoned via ingestion and poisoned in the mind. Once many were mighty, noble, honorable, integral, and great leaders of men. They made things happen. They didn't wait for them to happen. They didn't shrink away and just see what happens. They followed a code. Their conduct didn't disgrace them as men. Then along came a parasite, and his technology was the final element in the strategic destruction of the Guardians of God's realm.One way to ensure your favorite indy channels remain is to Follow, Subscribe, and leave likes and comments.

While we often think of sleep and diet as separate pillars of health, our internal biological clocks and gut microbiome intricately connect them both. In this episode, co-hosts Dr. Siobhan McCormack and Dr. Sheena Fraser dive into the fascinating, bidirectional relationship between circadian rhythms, sleep quality, and gut health.They discuss how our physiology adapts to 24-hour light and dark cycles, the metabolic havoc caused by social jet lag and shift work, and how our gut microbes actually operate on their own daily schedules. Plus, Siobhan and Sheena share practical, evidence-based chrononutrition strategies and explore how targeted dietary patterns, probiotics, and fermented foods can significantly boost your mood and sleep architecture.What We Cover:The Circadian Symphony: How light, dark, and our body's internal peripheral clocks orchestrate everything from hormone release (like cortisol and melatonin) to digestion.Sleep Architecture & Mental Health: The critical role of REM and deep sleep, and how just one night of sleep deprivation increases impulsivity and degrades mood.Chrononutrition: Why when you eat is just as important as what you eat, and how meal timing acts as a major environmental cue for your gut microbes.Social Jet Lag & Shift Work: The metabolic consequences of disrupted sleep cycles, including increased risks for Type 2 Diabetes, and actionable strategies to regain circadian balance.Nutrients & Microbes for Sleep: Exploring the science behind specific dietary protocols, the power of Lactobacillus, and how fermented foods support restorative rest.Scientific References & Further Reading:Conti, F.

What if one of the biggest missing pieces of perimenopause isn't hormones at all? In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Mariza sits down with Ryan Woodbury, co-founder and co-CEO of Needed, to explore why nutrient deficiencies may be one of the most overlooked drivers of fatigue, brain fog, low energy, poor stress resilience, and other common symptoms women experience during perimenopause. Ryan shares the surprising personal experience that led her into the world of nutritional science and supplementation, including discovering her own nutrient deficiencies despite following a highly nutrient-dense diet. Together, they unpack the alarming research showing that most women are entering pregnancy, postpartum, and eventually perimenopause already running on depleted nutritional reserves. They discuss the shortcomings of traditional nutritional recommendations, why so many women remain deficient despite taking standard multivitamins, and how decades of stress, caregiving, disrupted sleep, pregnancies, and modern environmental demands create a perfect storm for depletion. Dr. Mariza and Ryan also dive into the critical role nutrients play in supporting hormone production, brain function, metabolism, cellular energy, blood sugar regulation, and healthy aging. Most importantly, they offer practical guidance for building a stronger nutritional foundation so women can thrive through midlife and beyond. If you've ever wondered why you still feel depleted despite doing "all the right things," this conversation will help connect the dots. RYAN WOODBURY Ryan Woodbury is the co-founder and co-CEO of Needed, a company dedicated to improving nutritional support for women across every stage of life. With a background in environmental science, nutrition, and food systems, Ryan has become a leading advocate for evidence-based nutrient support for fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause. Her mission is to help women move beyond bare-minimum nutrition and build the foundation needed for lifelong vitality. IN THIS EPISODE Why nutrient deficiencies are so common among women entering perimenopause The hidden impact of stress, caregiving, pregnancy, and postpartum depletion Why traditional multivitamins often fail to meet women's nutritional needs The critical role of vitamin D, magnesium, choline, omega-3s, and B vitamins How nutrient deficiencies contribute to fatigue, brain fog, and metabolic dysfunction Why foundational nutrition matters before adding targeted interventions The connection between blood sugar regulation, inflammation, and hormonal health How women can build a stronger foundation for energy, cognition, and healthy aging QUOTES“95% of women have at least one nutrient deficiency in a very key nutrient.” “You deserve to get what your body actually needs, not the bare minimum.” “When women reclaim their energy, they don't just change themselves, they change the world.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Subscribe now and get 20% off + FREE Shipping on your first NEEDED Supplement Order http://thisisneeded.com/DrMarizaSnyder Order my newest book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Needed Website Needed InstagramNeeded Facebook Needed Academy Instagram RELATED EPISODES 754: How to Find Joy When Life Doesn't Go According to Plan with Amberly Lago 751: Bloating, Brain Fog & Hormone Chaos?

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth DoughertyAlbum: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 060826 Original Broadcast Date: 06/08/26 It was a packed week in food news and Elizabeth had plenty to say about all of it. WK Kellogg is becoming one of the first major food companies to completely overhaul its packaging around nutrition transparency with a new system called SPOONS, which stands for Simple ingredients, Protein, Outstanding fiber, Other nutritious foods, Nutrients, and Single digit sugars. It rolls out this month on Raisin Bran, Frosted Mini Wheats, Corn Flakes, and Rice Krispies. Kellogg invented the nutrition label. Now they're trying to reinvent what it means. Meanwhile Doritos just launched a Garlic Parm flavor nationwide, and if you were hoping two years of MAHA pressure and a $50 billion market cap hit had taught Frito Lay anything, the ingredient list will disappoint you. Maltodextrin, yeast extract, potassium chloride, citric acid. New flavor. Same playbook. Walmart expanded its 30 minute grocery delivery to 33 markets, now reaching 60 percent of the U.S. population. Chick fil A is shrinking its chicken sandwich with no comment and no apology. Upcycled ingredients, food byproducts that used to be called garbage, are now certified and showing up at Whole Foods, Target, and Costco. And a Virginia woman is suing Outback Steakhouse for $1.5 million after slipping face first on mashed potatoes on the way to the restroom. Virginia is a contributory negligence state. Her attorney has a long road ahead. Elizabeth connects the dots on all of it. FOOD TRAVEL USA FAST FACTS About the Show Using the chassis of a food and travel show, Elizabeth Dougherty has carved out her own lane in Talk Radio, covering the contamination of the food supply and the travel restrictions placed upon us by an overreaching government. The show also covers data protection, self-sufficiency, and homesteading-related topics to help protect us from this evil, corrupt system. With Elizabeth as the host, the show has a very different sound from the typical male-oriented talk radio. In combination with terrestrial stations that carry the show, we reach people who don't normally listen to politically-driven talk radio. In addition to the LIVE FEED of the show on Saturday afternoons from 5pm–7pm (Eastern) / 2pm–4pm (Pacific), we produce and distribute a dozen podcast segments each week.

Can a supplement provide the same benefits as whole foods?   Many people assume that if a food contains a beneficial nutrient, taking that nutrient in a supplement should provide the same result. Nutrition research has shown that it is not always that simple.   In this episode, Shelley explores the concept of food synergy, also known as the matrix effect, and explains why whole foods often provide benefits that isolated nutrients cannot fully replicate. Learn how nutrients interact with one another, why eating an orange is different from taking a vitamin C supplement, what research says about fish versus fish oil supplements, and why green powders are not the same as fruits and vegetables.   The episode also discusses the role of supplements, when they may be appropriate, and why overall dietary patterns remain the strongest predictor of long-term health.

In this eye-opening conversation, Debi Robinson and Dr. John Neustadt expose a fundamental flaw in how we approach bone health: we've been focusing on bone density instead of actual fracture risk.Drawing from 20+ years of research and clinical practice, Dr. Neustadt reveals that only four nutrients have been proven in clinical trials to reduce fractures—calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K2 (MK-4 specifically), and magnesium. He challenges the one-size-fits-all approach to supplementation and explains why popular supplements like MK-7 and strontium fall short of their marketing claims.The episode deep-dives into why bone density tests are poor predictors of fracture risk, how supplement companies mislead consumers with marketing claims that don't align with clinical data, and the critical role of gut health, sleep, hormones, and lifestyle in fracture prevention.Most importantly, Debi and Dr. Neustadt provide actionable, evidence-based strategies that women can implement immediately to actually protect their bones—without fear-based messaging.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN✓ Why bone density scores are not reliable predictors of fracture risk✓ The 4 nutrients with clinical trial evidence for fracture reduction (and the doses that actually work)✓ Why MK-7 vitamin K2 doesn't improve bone strength (and why MK-4 does)✓ How to assess YOUR individual calcium needs (most women are over-supplementing)✓ The vitamin D target range for optimal fracture protection✓ Why strontium supplements mislead consumers (and the hidden risks)✓ The role of melatonin receptors in bone health and sleep deprivation's link to fractures✓ How gut health directly impacts bone strength✓ The importance of serotonin, melatonin, and the gut-bone axis✓ HRT and testosterone replacement as part of a comprehensive bone health strategy✓ How to evaluate supplement companies and ensure they have fracture outcome data✓ Red flags when choosing bone health supplements✓ The gap between conventional medicine's approach (DEXA + medication) and integrative bone health✓ Why doctors are confused about osteoporosis (and how to advocate for yourself)ACTION STEPSGet your vitamin D tested. Aim for 30–44 ng/mL for optimal fracture protection (different from immune health recommendations).Assess your dietary calcium intake before adding supplements. If you're eating well, you may only need 400 mg as a supplement, not the standard 1,200 mg recommendation.Switch MK-7 supplements to MK-4. If you're taking a vitamin K2 supplement, verify it's MK-4 at 45 mg per day in divided doses. MK-7 doesn't reduce fractures.Check your supplement labels for strontium. If it's there, especially if the company markets it as "proven to improve bone density," consider switching to a formula without it.Prioritize gut health. Work with a practitioner to run stool tests if you have bloating, constipation, postnasal drip, or other GI symptoms. Gut inflammation accelerates bone loss.Track your sleep quality. Sleep deprivation is linked to 17% of fractures. If you're sleeping less than 6 hours nightly, prioritize this.Ask supplement companies the right questions:"Do you have fracture outcome data from clinical trials?""Will you provide a certificate of analysis showing purity and potency?""What guarantee do you offer?"Evaluate your medications. Check with your doctor: Are any of your current prescriptions contributing to bone loss? (SSRIs, certain blood pressure meds, proton pump inhibitors, corticosteroids, etc.)Consider HRT or bioidentical hormone replacement, especially if you're post-menopausal. Research shows a 40% reduction in osteoporotic fracture risk with appropriate hormone therapy.Build lifestyle foundations: Prioritize whole-food nutrition, strength training, stress management, and community connection. Oxytocin (released through physical contact) supports bone health.RESOURCES & LINKSDr. John Neustadt's Website: nbihealth.com and book Fracture-Proof Your Bones: A Comprehensive Guide to OsteoporosisDebi's website: https://debirobinson.comHealthy Gut Healty Bones Program: https://debirobinson.com/healthy-gut-healthy-bones-program-v2/Join the Community: https://debirobinson.com/the-stronger-bones-lifestyle-community/Yoga Therapy MasterClass: https://debirobinson.com/yoga-therapy-for-bones-health-mc/28-Day Stronger Bones Method: https://debirobinson.com/28-day-stronger-bonesmorning-method/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/debirobinsonwellness/Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@debirobinsonwellness/DEBI'S TAKEAWAY"Fracture-proofing your bones isn't about chasing a higher DEXA score. It's about building the internal biochemical balance that actually prevents fractures. You have the research, you have the tools, and you have the power to take control of your bone health naturally. Use that power."

Dietitians Torwen Eerkens and Aidan Muir discuss the key vitamins and minerals to consider when trying to conceive, including their role in supporting fertility and promoting healthy development during pregnancy. While nutrition is only one piece of the fertility puzzle, ensuring adequate intake of these nutrients through food and, where appropriate, supplements can help optimise fertility and support maternal and infant health.

Focusing on one nutrient like nitrogen might yield immediate results, but long-term production requires a more balanced approach.   In this episode, Norm Dueck joins Amy Crozier to discuss what a balanced nutrient management plan looks like and why it's becoming increasingly important in crop production. As crops remove more nutrients from the soil, we must look beyond a handful of key nutrients and consider how a more balanced approach can help you avoid deficiencies, depletion and imbalances that limit crop performance.   Learn why nutrients should be managed as a system, how tools like soil testing can help you build a better plan and how focusing too heavily on a few nutrients can create imbalances and deficiencies elsewhere.   Looking for the latest in crop nutrition research?

A new study may help improve cleanup strategies for groundwater and sediment contaminated with persistent chlorinated organic pollutants. Funded by the NIEHS Superfund Research Program, researchers at the University of Maryland Baltimore County used modeling tools to better understand and optimize their cleanup technology that combines pollutant-degrading bacteria with an activated carbon sorbent, called bioaugmented sorbents.

Could mushrooms hold the secret to better gut health, lower cholesterol, and can they protect your brain? Today, Professor Robin May, a leading microbiologist and the UK Government's Chief Scientific Officer, explores why our interest in mushrooms has exploded. He explains why they are not just another vegetable but could hold the key to better gut health, brain health, immune health, and lower cholesterol. By the end of the episode, you'll know which health claims about mushrooms are real, which are exaggerated and where the science is just too early to trust. You'll have a solid understanding of what mushrooms are really doing inside our bodies and how to unlock the secret health powers they hold. Should mushrooms become a regular part of your weekly shop rather than an occasional side dish? And if fungi have evolved alongside humans for millions of years, what else might they reveal about the future of nutrition and health?

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Zepbound are changing the conversation around obesity and weight loss — but there's one major problem: most people are starting these medications with little to no guidance on how to properly nourish their body while taking them.And that matters.Because while GLP-1s can be incredibly effective tools for weight loss, they can also lead to muscle loss, under-eating, fatigue, nausea, hair loss, and long-term metabolic issues when nutrition is neglected.In today's episode, I'm breaking down the biggest nutrition mistakes people make on GLP-1 medications — and exactly how to protect your metabolism, preserve muscle, maintain energy, and build sustainable habits while losing weight.We'll cover:- Why protein becomes non-negotiable on GLP-1 medications- How much protein you actually need- The hidden dangers of under-eating- Why rapid weight loss can harm your metabolism- How to preserve muscle while losing fat- The critical role of strength training- What to do if you have no appetite- Tips for nausea and food aversions- How to create sustainable eating habits while on GLP-1s- Rebuilding a healthier relationship with foodThis episode is especially important if you've ever thought:“I'm barely eating… so why do I feel exhausted?”“Why am I losing muscle instead of just fat?”“How do I hit my protein goals when I'm never hungry?”GLP-1 medications are not magic — but when combined with proper nutrition and lifestyle support, they can become powerful tools for long-term health.If you're currently taking a GLP-1 medication, considering one, or supporting someone who is, this episode is a must-listen.And if you're looking for support along your journey, Dr. Sasha High and I would love to welcome you into our women's coaching program, Best Weight, where we openly discuss treatment options like GLP-1 medications and help women build sustainable, healthy weight loss habits together.

Outbursts of anger, irritability, emotional rollercoaster: Adolescence presents enormous challenges for many families. A new study from New Zealand is now attracting attention because it shows that certain vitamin and mineral combinations could significantly improve adolescents' emotional regulation. The results of the so-called BEAM study suggest some surprisingly strong effects — and at the same time raise questions as to how far such dietary supplements can actually help. - Wutausbrüche, Gereiztheit, emotionale Achterbahn: Die Pubertät stellt viele Familien vor enorme Herausforderungen. Eine neue Studie aus Neuseeland sorgt nun für Aufmerksamkeit, weil sie zeigt, dass bestimmte Vitamin- und Mineralstoffkombinationen die emotionale Regulation von Jugendlichen deutlich verbessern könnten. Die Ergebnisse der sogenannten BEAM-Studie deuten auf teils überraschend starke Effekte hin – und werfen gleichzeitig Fragen auf, wie weit solche Nahrungsergänzungen tatsächlich helfen können.

We also dive into placenta previa and accreta risks, uterine rupture statistics, spacing pregnancies after C-section, and how trauma can remain stored in the body long after birth.Whether you're preparing to conceive after a cesarean, considering a VBAC, healing from birth trauma, or simply wanting to better understand your body after a C-section, this episode offers both practical guidance and compassionate support.00:00 Trailer & Intro01:43 How C-Sections Can Affect Future Fertility03:52 Scar Tissue & Adhesions Explained05:25 Placenta Previa & Accreta Risks After Cesarean10:25 Antibiotics, Microbiome & Secondary Infertility11:41 Birth Trauma & Nervous System Healing15:25 Body Image, Desire & Emotional Recovery18:54 How Long Should You Wait Before Another Pregnancy?22:46 Pregnancy Spacing, Core Strength & Recovery24:29 Signs Your Scar May Need More Support26:15 Pelvic Floor Therapy & Core Healing29:19 Scar Massage, Gua Sha & Red Light Therapy32:18 Supplements & Nutrients for Scar Healing36:35 Preparing for a VBAC After C-Section38:38 Multiple C-Sections & Birth Decisions43:05 VBAC Statistics & Uterine Rupture Risks49:15 Why Birth Decisions Aren't One-Size-Fits-All50:25 Preconception Support After a C-Section51:30 Encouragement for Your Next Pregnancy JourneyResources From This Episode:Get $10 off Evvy Vaginal Test here!Bloom MethodThrive Physical Therapy (Dr. Lauren Mallari Snyder in San Diego)Restore PT - Sarah Grahm (local in Boise)Treasure Valley Pelvic Health Other Related Episodes:All About VBAC Part 1 EpisodeAll About VBAC Part 2 EpisodeVaginal Bugs and the Essential Role They Play Episode The Secret Fertility Factor No One Talks About EpisodeHome Birth Turned C-Section: Dr. Leah's Birth Story EpisodeDr Leah's Second Birth Story EpisodeDetoxing Before Pregnancy: What Actually Matters (And What Doesn't) EpisodeWhen Sex Hurts: The Root Cause No One Talks About EpisodePreconception: What It Is and Why It Matters EpisodeComing Off Birth Control: What Your Body Needs Before Pregnancy EpisodeBreastfeeding While Trying To Conceive EpisodeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond

Start Being a Student of Your Health: Dr. Henry Ealy on Nutrition, Energy, and Healing Episode Description In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Dr. Henry Ealy, also known as Dr. H, founder of the Energetic Health Institute. Dr. Ealy is a teacher, healer, curriculum developer, and natural health educator whose work centers on a powerful idea: people should not just be passive patients, they should become active students of their own health. This conversation moves through nutrition, energy, mitochondria, red light therapy, environmental stressors, EMFs, grounding, detoxification, and the importance of learning how the body is designed to heal. The conversation also touches on environmental health concerns, including air quality, chemtrails, infrared sauna use, sweating, and how Dr. Ealy thinks about reducing the body's toxic burden. Dr. Ealy shares why he believes the foundation of health education should begin with nutrition, and why understanding the body's energy production can change how people think about fatigue, symptoms, and long-term wellness. Stephanie and Dr. Ealy also talk about the confusion many people feel when trying to make healthier choices. From supplements and red light tools to grounding products and natural healing approaches, it can be difficult to know what is real, what is marketing, and what is worth trusting. This episode includes strong perspectives, challenging ideas, and a call for deeper curiosity. It is meant to inform, spark thought, and encourage personal responsibility, not replace individualized medical care. If you are making changes to your health, medications, supplements, detox practices, fasting, or treatment plan, work with a qualified healthcare professional who understands your personal situation. In This Episode, Discover Dr. Henry Ealy's early experiences with medicine and how they shaped his path Why he believes the word "doctor" should mean "teacher" The difference between being a passive patient and becoming a student of your health Why nutrition is central to Dr. Ealy's approach to healing and education How the Energetic Health Institute teaches holistic nutrition, detoxification, and natural medicine Why Dr. Ealy believes mitochondrial energy production is a key part of understanding health The role fatigue may play as a common thread in many health challenges How nutrition, chiropractic, bodywork, acupuncture, and exercise may work better when the body is properly supported Why consumers need help sorting through health products, supplement claims, and wellness marketing What Dr. Ealy looks for when evaluating companies and products he trusts How red light therapy, grounding, sleep, and daily routines fit into his larger health philosophy The conversation around EMFs, environmental toxins, air quality, chemtrails, and toxic burden Why Stephanie and Dr. Ealy emphasize doing your homework before trying intense cleanses, detoxes, or supplements The purpose of the Healing Made Easy membership Why small steps, repeated over time, may help people feel more confident and capable in their own health journey Stay Connected & Explore Learn More About Dr. Henry Ealy and the Energetic Health Institute: Energetic Health Institute: https://www.energetichealthinstitute.org/ Meet Dr. H: https://www.energetichealthinstitute.org/meet-dr-h/ Healing Made Easy: https://www.energetichealthinstitute.org/healing-made-easy/ Companies We Trust: https://www.energetichealthinstitute.org/companies-we-trust/ Books by Dr. Ealy / Dr. Henele: https://drhenele.com/ Connect with Conversations with a Chiropractor: Follow Us on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@ConversationswithaChiro Follow Dr. Stephanie on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wautierwellness Email for show-related inquiries and sponsorships: drstephaniewautier@yahoo.com Want to be a guest on Conversations with a Chiropractor?

Lyme Time Television and the Alpha Gal Vegan CultIt's all a fraud. Once you recognize the true nature of where you find yourself, it's not as hard to accept just how saturated in complete and utter deception or view of reality is. Many say everything you think you know and have been taught is a lie, but very few understand the full depth of this statement. Alpha Gal, the very notion of "anti-bodies," of "virus" and of contagion are all presumed real simply because a system of deceit supports it with their scientism and peer reviews. It's a great, deadly fraud foisted on mankind for the purpose of causing us great bodily harm. Dr. Sam Bailey has been referenced frequently these past few broadcasts. I wanted you to see that it's not jut me, Dr. Glidden, and Dr. Monzo, ND sounding the alarm an telling you what a deadly lie all of allopathy is.

Triggering. Controversial. Frustrating. Today, we're talking about foods that trigger Vestibular Migraine. As a person who does not have a vestibular disorder, I'm confident I can give you an objective answer for this. For some, there are foods that always trigger a migraine attack. For others, there's a bit of a gray zone—some foods that sometimes trigger a migraine attack. And still others may find that food isn't a contributing factor to their threshold. Where do you fall and what's your best course of action? Tune in! In this episode, we'll dig into: The truth about “trigger foods” and why the topic is so controversial How the migraine threshold works & why food is often just the tipping point, not the cause Histamine, inflammation, and why leftovers can hit differently than fresh food What’s actually going on in the body when caffeine and alcohol are consumed What CGRP is and why it matters for migraine treatment Why trigger foods are wildly person-dependent The vestibular-migraine overlap when it comes to food If you have questions about this or you want to start working on building a bigger bucket so you can start adding foods back into your diet, join us in Vestibular Group Fit (use code GROUNDED)!

Aimee Minnaugh's story begins with heartbreak and unfolds into purpose: after multiple miscarriages and the discovery of a genetic mutation that blocked her body's ability to process folic acid, she refused to accept inadequate prenatal care. In this episode she guides listeners through her personal search for answers, the science that changed everything, and the moment she teamed up with clinicians to design a better prenatal supplement for others. We follow Aimee from the sleepless, confusing days piecing together dozens of pills to the relief of a thoughtfully formulated sachet, and hear practical postpartum wisdom on hydration, pelvic-floor care, and why nutrition before conception matters. If you're curious, cautious, or craving clarity about prenatal and postpartum nutrition, this episode is honest, hopeful, and deeply helpful.

On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Dr. Jack Stockwell, a NUCCA Chiropractor and GAPS Practitioner in SLC, UT (866.867.5070 | ForbiddenDoctor.com | JackStockwell.com), shares a holistic perspective on health news today. Dr. Jack starts with an announcement the U.S. military will no longer require American troops to get the flu vaccine, based on medical autonomy and religious freedom. The annual flu shot has been required for all U.S. military personnel since the 1950s. The decision has sparked debate with public health organizations, like the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases arguing that high vaccination coverage remains critical for military readiness, particularly in close-quarters living and working environments. Some retired military officials have also criticized the shift, pointing to the historical threat influenza poses to troop readiness.Moving on to the hantavirus, which is responsible for the deaths of three people on a cruise ship, Dr. Jack compares similarities with the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and equates the deaths from Covid were mainly patients already dealing with comorbidities, making them more susceptible than anyone who was healthy. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified the global risk to the general public from the recent hantavirus outbreak as low. They explicitly state this outbreak is not the next COVID-19, as hantavirus spreads differently and is not highly contagious.Doug and Dr. Jack join forces to address the battle of finding proper supplements, and one they agree is a great made-from-whole-foods option is from Standard Process. Their Diaplex and Zypan vitamins/supplements that trigger better digestive support and response while also helping to balance the sugar control in the system. Standard Process supplements are highly regarded for their "seed-to-supplement" approach, which focuses on whole-food nutrition rather than synthetic isolates. By controlling everything from the soil to the final pill, the brand aims to deliver nutrients in the complex, natural state that the body recognizes and absorbs best.All this and more in this episode of Good Day Health. For more on Good Day Health…Website: GoodDayHealthShow.comSocial Media: @GoodDayNetworks

In this episode, Dr. Abby breaks down the gap between traditional thyroid screening and functional thyroid screening. Learn why checking just TSH if not the best approach, the reality behind common thyroid conditions, and the exact nutrients your body needs to thrive.Key Takeaways & Clinical Pearls1. The Essential 5-Part Thyroid Lab PanelChecking only TSH doesn't show the full picture. Dr. Abby recommends requesting these five:TSH: The brain's signal to the thyroid.Free T4: Your inactive storage hormone (cash in the bank).Free T3: Your active metabolic hormone (cash in your pocket).Reverse T3: The body's emergency brake, triggered by high stress or gut issues.Thyroid Antibodies (TPO & TgAb): Markers showing if the immune system is attacking your thyroid.2. Thyroid Conditions ExplainedHypothyroidism: Underactive thyroid function causing low energy, constipation, and a sluggish metabolism.Hyperthyroidism: Overactive thyroid function causing anxiety, a racing heart, and heat intolerance.Hashimoto's: An autoimmune condition that targets the thyroid. Because it is heavily tied to gut health and systemic inflammation, you cannot fully heal it without addressing the gut-immune connection.3. Nutrients to Build & Convert HormonesSelenium: The ultimate converter. Eating 2 Brazil nuts a day provides a clinical dose to help convert T4 into active T3 and calm antibody flares.Zinc: Crucial for TSH production and tissue absorption (always balance with copper).Tyrosine & Iodine: The physical building blocks of thyroid hormone, best sourced from clean fish and sea vegetables.Adrenals / Nervous System: Chronic stress stops active T3 conversion, making stress management foundational for thyroid healing.Connect with Dr. AbbyDr. Abby is accepting new functional health patients for extensive lab reviews, hormone mapping, and lifestyle consulting at Thrive Medical WNY (available in-person and virtually).Practice: Thrive Medical WNYBooking Link: Booking Link Here]Instagram: @dr.abbyborkowski

In this episode, I'm breaking down the four pillars of recomposition to help you shrink your body fat, build lean muscle, and reclaim the energy you had in your 20s. For 30 years, the fitness world has preached the same rule: you have to "bulk" to gain muscle, or "cut" to lose fat. But modern science shows us a different path. It is entirely possible to do both at the same time through a process called Body Recomposition.

CoQ10 and Stroke Recovery: What the Science Actually Shows Your brain is the most energy-hungry organ in your body. It accounts for roughly 2% of your body weight but consumes about 20% of all the energy you produce. One of the key molecules driving that energy, CoQ10, quietly declines from your 30s onwards. For stroke survivors navigating fatigue, cognitive changes, and the long arc of recovery, that raises an obvious question: could supplementing with CoQ10 actually help? This mini-episode examines the peer-reviewed evidence — not marketing copy, not supplement industry claims, but what clinical research actually shows. What Is CoQ10 and Why Does It Matter After a Stroke? Coenzyme Q10, also known as CoQ10, or ubiquinol in its active form, is a molecule your body produces naturally. It lives primarily in the mitochondria, the energy-producing structures inside your cells, where it plays two roles: generating ATP (the cellular energy currency everything in your biology runs on) and acting as a powerful antioxidant that neutralises free radicals. When a stroke occurs, whether ischemic or hemorrhagic, the brain undergoes what is called ischemia-reperfusion injury. Blood flow is cut off, then restored. That restoration triggers inflammation and a surge of oxidative stress. Mitochondria in neurons start failing. Cells die not just from the original event but from the metabolic fallout that follows. CoQ10 goes directly to the site of that problem. If levels can be sustained or supplemented adequately, the theory is that it could reduce the secondary damage unfolding in the hours, days, and weeks after stroke. What Does the Clinical Research Actually Show? A landmark 2025 review published in the journal Nutrients analysed 12 animal studies and 8 human randomised controlled trials examining CoQ10’s effects on the brain. The findings are genuinely mixed, which is exactly what honest science looks like. In animal models, the evidence is consistent and compelling. Across Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and epilepsy models, CoQ10 supplementation produced meaningful improvements in cognitive function via reduced oxidative stress, decreased neuroinflammation, increased ATP production in the hippocampus, and reductions in amyloid plaque burden. In humans, the picture is more complex. Of the 8 human RCTs reviewed, 4 showed evidence of benefit in specific conditions. In Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, frontal lobe cognitive function improved significantly. In Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 150mg daily for 8 to 12 weeks improved working memory and reduced oxidative stress markers. In one Parkinson’s trial combining CoQ10 with creatine, cognitive improvements were measured at 12 and 18 months. However, trials in Alzheimer’s disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment showed no significant cognitive benefit, even at high doses. There is also an unresolved question: whether supplemental CoQ10 can cross the blood-brain barrier in meaningful quantities. Indirect pathways improved cerebral blood flow, reduced systemic inflammation, and may account for observed effects rather than direct brain-level action. What This Means for Stroke Survivors The honest assessment: the research supports a biologically plausible mechanism. CoQ10 is depleted by the conditions that cause and follow stroke. Supplementation shows real benefit in some neurological conditions. Animal evidence is consistently positive. But large-scale human RCTs specifically in stroke populations are still limited. Two practical points worth raising with your treating team before starting CoQ10: Form matters. Ubiquinol (the reduced form) has significantly higher bioavailability than standard ubiquinone, particularly important for older adults whose absorption is lower. Drug interactions. CoQ10 can reduce the anticoagulant effect of warfarin, a medication many stroke survivors take. It may also amplify blood-pressure-lowering effects of antihypertensive medications. Take the research, not the marketing, to your neurologist or GP. Ask whether it is appropriate, given your specific stroke type and current medications, what dose the evidence supports, and how long a reasonable trial period looks like.

What Your Doctor Isn't Telling You About Nutrition and Perimenopause Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "This is just how I am now — it's perimenopause, there's nothing I can do"? You're not alone. But today we're flipping that narrative. In this episode, I'm sharing what the research actually says about nutrition and perimenopause — and why this conversation isn't happening nearly enough in conventional medicine. Because yes, the hormonal shifts are real. The brain fog, the weight changes, the sleep disruption — all real. But so is your ability to influence how you feel through what you eat. In this episode: Why declining estrogen changes your metabolism (by more than you'd think) The dietary pattern with the strongest evidence base for perimenopausal symptoms 3 nutrition tools backed by peer-reviewed research that you can start using now The 3 changes we cover (and what to do about them): Metabolism changes — why your muscle is at risk and how much you actually need during this transition Gut health changes — the estrobolome, why your gut microbiome directly influences your estrogen levels, and the simple weekly goal that can shift everything Your Supplement Stack needs!  Resources mentioned: Erdélyi et al., 2024 — Nutrients — comprehensive review of nutrition priorities in perimenopause and menopause Grab your FREE Why Am I Tired Guide HERE!

Fasting is one of the most powerful healing practices in human history—it's free, requires zero equipment, and your body is literally designed for it. But while it sounds simple, there is a wrong way to do it, especially when it comes to the hormonal "engine switch" that happens in the first 24 hours. In this episode, I walk you through exactly what happens in your body during a 3-day fast, from clearing out "zombie cells" to the 60% drop in aging markers.

You have around 10,000 cancer cells in your body right now, but most never become dangerous. The science suggests cancer risk is not just about genetics, but how your body responds to these cells. So what can you do, day to day, to support your body's natural defences? In this episode, Dr William Li, a world-renowned physician, scientist, speaker, and two-time NYT Bestselling author, explains how everyday foods can fuel cancer growth or help your body keep it under control. We explore how cancer starts, why it is part of normal biology, and explain why lifestyle and environment are more important than genetics when managing your cancer risk. Dr Li shares simple guidance on eating patterns that support your body's defences, including increasing plant-rich foods and reducing ultra-processed foods. He also highlights everyday habits such as staying active, supporting gut health, and limiting toxin exposure as ways to tip the balance in your favour. If your body is already managing cancer cells every day, what small changes could help it do that job better?

Many people still deal with the same symptoms or worse after surgery.The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile, releasing it when needed. Bile is essential for breaking down fats and absorbing fat-soluble vitamins.Gallstones form when there's too much cholesterol and not enough bile salts. Bile sludge typically develops first, eventually leading to gallstones. The real cause of gallstones is not producing enough bile to handle cholesterol.When the gallbladder is removed, you lose the ability to store and concentrate bile. Some people even experience too much bile flow afterward, which can lead to diarrhea.Dietary fat does not cause gallstones! Low-fat diets are the single greatest triggers of gallstones. Fat actually stimulates bile production.The real problem is sugar and hidden sugars. High-carb diets increase cholesterol while reducing bile production, raising the risk of gallstones. This is why prediabetics and diabetics are more likely to develop gallstones.Bile salts can help thin bile sludge and may even support the breakdown of gallstones. TUDCA is especially effective for thinning bile in the ducts, particularly in cases linked to right shoulder pain. Taking bile salts right after eating can also support fat digestion and bile flow.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
