Podcasts about optimal health

In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, Doc Jen and Doctor Dom explore foot pain and injury through Dom's personal experience with a Lisfranc ligament tear and two surgeries. Dom shares how a recent pickleball injury during a session triggered sharp midfoot pain, prompting him to self-assess and begin conservative treatment. They discuss potential diagnoses, footwear adjustments, and rehabilitation strategies including mobility work, strengthening exercises, and balance training. The episode highlights the value of physical therapy, direct access care, and structured programs like Gen Health's foot and ankle roadmap for achieving safe, effective long-term recovery after a pickleball injury.

Is type 2 diabetes an incurable, progressive disease, as many doctors claim? The research says no. There is a simple, food-based approach that has been quietly studied since the 1970s, and it has helped people get their A1C back to normal without Metformin, without insulin, and without giving up a social life. In this episode, Chris Reade, entrepreneur and author of Beating Diabetes, shares his own story: his A1C jumped from normal to 9.1 in a single year, his doctor handed him a prescription and told him diabetes was an incurable, progressive disease. He walked out of that office and decided to find another way. Four months later, his A1C was back in the normal range. No Metformin. No insulin. No extreme diet.

Have you felt off or ill and visited your doctor's office only to be told that everything looks normal? From my personal and professional experience I know how common and upsetting this type of treatment can be. When you know your body isn't okay, it can be incredibly stressful to not get the proper care you deserve and need. And if you're already feeling exhausted or deflated by poor or insufficient medical care, it can be tough to fight for change. Yet when we learn to pause and then reach beyond what standard medical protocol might provide, we can find the hope and real life solutions we need. Dr. Diana Stafford, a physician and functional medicine practitioner known as the Detox Doc, joins Dr. Carla Marie Manly to unravel some of the hidden causes of common medical and mental health issues as she paves the way to finding true wellness!Topics discussed include gut-brain-immune axis, gut-brain axis, trauma, PTSD, functional medicine, mold toxicity, root-cause medicine, eastern medicine, healing, wellness, fungal infections, candida, environmental medicine, environmental issues, BPA, PFAS, forever chemicals, pesticides, medical care, illness, nervous system support, breathwork, low-toxicity living, nervous system regulation, fight or flight response, freeze response, appease response, fawn response, and healthy solutions.Please note that this episode contains sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Details: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.

Muscle loss and sarcopenia have been synonymous with aging in previous generations. Muscle loss impacts osteoporosis, balance, stability, independence, and hormone balance.  In this episode we'll talk about the 3 M's and how to bank muscle looking forward to a time off your fee as well as how to get it back if you have muscle loss and sarcopenia.  My Guest: Dr. Chris Meletis is an internationally recognized educator, author, lecturer, and functional medicine practitioner with more than 33 years of clinical experience. He has authored 18 books and over 200 scientific articles, contributing extensively to the fields of naturopathic and integrative medicine.  Formerly the Dean of Naturopathic Medicine and Chief Medical Officer at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, he was honored as Physician of the Year by the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians. Passionate about accessible healthcare, he helped establish 16 free natural medicine clinics and continues to focus on the GI microbiome, mitochondrial health, nutritional biochemistry, and botanical medicine. Questions We Answer in This Episode: What trends have you seen in aging, and why does muscle become such a critical issue for women in midlife and beyond? Are physicians beginning to use muscle-related assessments as vital signs, and should strength be monitored more routinely as we age? What does grip strength actually measure, and why is it such a powerful indicator of overall strength and future health? What happens when you need a bunion surgery, joint replacement, or another procedure that temporarily limits activity? Will you lose muscle, and how can you prepare for it? If you're told to lose weight before a knee or hip replacement, how do you protect muscle mass while improving your health outcomes? Are we eating enough protein, and is our digestion allowing us to actually absorb and utilize it as we age? How can muscle-support strategies help during periods of bed rest, illness, pain, long COVID, or other situations that increase the risk of sarcopenia? What should active women do when they're already exercising but still struggle with maintaining muscle, energy, or lean body mass? If this episode made you flip your workout routine — share it!

We often believe that we need to be perfect--or at least nearly perfect--to be worthy and lovable. Yet from my experience, the constant striving to look or be perfect can actually erode self-confidence, mental health, and even physical well-being. In fact, I've found that those who make friends with their imperfections--those who strive to achieve a healthy balance between self-acceptance and positive change--tend to fare far better in their relationships, self-love, and overall well-being. Today, we're joined by Erin Pash, CEO and Founder of Pash Company and Ellie Mental Health, who will explore the keys to fostering self-acceptance, authenticity and self-worth!Topics discussed include perfectionism, self-love, acceptance, self-worth, worthiness, toxic comparison, judgement, blame, shame, envy, jealousy, relationships, family, friendships, girlfriends, social media, competition, well-being, mental health, boundaries, personal change, and transformation.Please note that this episode contains sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Details: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.

In Episode 291 of the Fit Father Project Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi makes the case for something most men have completely stopped doing — spending real, intentional time connected to nature.We are the most nature-deprived generation in human history, with most people spending 90% of their time indoors, and Dr. A explains exactly why that matters for your health.This episode walks through three powerful, science-backed pillars: grounding (direct skin contact with the earth), forest bathing (mindful time among trees), and sunshine (the master regulator of your body clock).Dr. Anthony explains the physiology behind each pillar — from red blood cell zeta potential and free radical neutralization, to phytoncides boosting natural killer cells, to morning light setting your circadian rhythm, cortisol response, and melatonin production.If you've ever felt more alive, more relaxed, and more human after a walk outside or a trip to the beach, this episode explains exactly why — and gives you a simple, practical challenge to implement this week that costs nothing and could change how you feel every single day.Rate & Review – If this episode inspired you to get outside and reconnect with the natural world, please take a minute to rate and review the Fit Father Project Podcast.

The Forever Young Documentary takes you behind the scenes of longevity — but with a perspective most people are missing.  What really matters when it comes to aging well, from healthspan and biomarkers to connection, purpose, and the surprising science of loneliness? How to actually age with energy, strength, and independence? Is the hype around longevity real? After interviewing top longevity experts around the world, David Donnelly's experience completely changed the way he approaches his own health and future.  Forever Young Documentary is more than a film about living longer; it's a powerful reminder to live better now. My Guest: David Donnelly is an American documentary filmmaker whose work spans classical music, culture, and technology. His award-winning debut feature, Maestro, profiled leading artists including Paavo Järvi, Joshua Bell, Hilary Hahn, and Lang Lang, and was broadcast internationally.  Donnelly's films have screened at venues including the Whitney Museum and the Kennedy Center. In 2021, he co-founded CultureNet and began a documentary trilogy exploring technology's cultural impact, including The Cost of Convenience and Forever Young. He is also a sought-after speaker who has interviewed global thought leaders across more than 30 countries. Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:11:09] What do people actually mean when they say they're afraid of aging? [00:14:50] What does longevity science get right, and where might pop culture and social media get it wrong? [00:18:28] Where do isolation and loneliness fit into the longevity conversation? [00:24:17] What's the difference between fear of dying and fear of death itself? Is there science that helps us understand whether fear of dying alone is different from fear of death?

In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, Doctor Dom shares her personal experience of sustaining a minor back injury and developing sciatic pain while deadlifting. She and Doc Jen discuss how even fitness professionals aren't immune to pain and injury, emphasizing that stress, poor sleep, and rushing through movements increase the risk of experiencing issues like sciatic pain. They debunk the myth that deadlifts are inherently dangerous and clarify that disc bulges are common even in pain-free individuals, and not always linked to sciatic pain. Doctor Dom outlines her recovery approach, including breathing, relaxation, and gentle progressive movement. The key message: pain, including sciatic pain, isn't always a sign of serious damage, and mindful movement is essential for recovery.

We often ignore or blame ourselves for a decline in sexual desire. We may even chalk it up to hormones, relationship issues, or boredom. And while all of these factors can surely contribute to a reduced sex drive, anxiety, burnout, stress--and even unresolved trauma--can take a big toll. Today, I'm joined by a top-notch sex and intimacy coach, Annette Benedetti, who will help you come home to your body so that you can enjoy the pleasure and connection you deserve. Topics discussed include sex, sexual intimacy, relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma, panic attacks, libido, orgasm, sensuality, pleasure, joy, and healing.

“Every woman deserves the chance to have a real discussion about hormone therapy — and make whatever decision is right for her. I'm here to give information and answer questions. It's your body.”— Dr. Jacqueline RiedelThe doctor who finally has time for youDr. Jacqueline Riedel, DO spent 15 years in family medicine where she learned this: women's hormonal health in midlife was profoundly under-treated and misunderstood. In a busy hospital-based clinic, she'd start a long-overdue conversation with a patient about perimenopause symptoms… and have to cut it off because the schedule demanded it.So she left. She opened Magnolia Midlife Women's Health, a direct-care practice built on something simple but radical: unhurried, conversational visits where women can actually ask their questions, get real answers, and leave feeling seen.In this conversation, she covers what's really happening hormonally in your 30s, 40s, and 50s and why everything you were told to fear about hormone therapy probably isn't the full story.Perimenopause starts earlier than you thinkDr. Riedel sees women with perimenopause symptoms long before any changes in the menstrual cycle. If you've been dismissed, or told your symptoms are just stress or mom-brain, you're not alone. Symptoms she commonly sees:• New insomnia: can't fall asleep or waking for no apparent reason• Anxiety, often misread as “just life stress”• Persistent, unexplained fatigue• Hot flashes and night sweats• Mood changes including irritability, low mood, brain fog• Cycle irregularities such as heavier periods, irregular timingDr. Riedel's approach: map symptoms to your cycle. When do they happen? Are there patterns? She also rules out other common causes, including thyroid issues and iron deficiency before exploring hormone therapy as an option.MYTH BUSTINGThe fears holding women back from reliefTwo decades after the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study was misread and sensationalized, fear still dominates the conversation around hormone therapy. Dr. Riedel sets the record straight.Myth 1: Hormone therapy causes breast cancer.Fact: Long-term WHI follow-up showed women in the hormone treatment group had lower rates of breast cancer. Even a first-degree family history is not a contraindication. And if breast cancer does occur in someone using MHT, their risk of dying is actually lower than in those not using it.Myth 2: The doses in MHT are dangerously high.Fact: Menopausal hormone therapy doses are far lower than those in oral contraceptive pills. If you'd prescribe the pill, you can't logically call MHT dangerous.Myth 3: Vaginal estrogen has systemic effects and should be avoided in cancer history.Fact: Topical vaginal estrogen has negligible systemic absorption. It reduces UTIs, yeast infections, urinary frequency, and pelvic floor dysfunction, even in women under active breast cancer treatment, per emerging oncology research. The FDA recently removed the black-box warning.TREATMENT OVERVIEWHow Dr. Riedel approaches careThere's no single protocol. Dr. Riedel listens first, identifying the top two or three symptoms most affecting quality of life, and builds from there.Progesterone for sleep & anxiety• Stimulates GABA production, a calming neurotransmitter• Helps with sleep onset and staying asleep• Reduces the racing mind at 2am• Often the first place she startsEstrogen for vasomotor symptoms• Addresses night sweats, hot flashes, palpitations• Keeps estrogen levels from dropping to “empty”• Preferred as transdermal (patch, gel, spray) to avoid blood clot risk• Added when progesterone alone isn't enoughVaginal estrogen for urogenital health• Reduces painful intercourse and dryness• Decreases UTIs and yeast infections• Supports pelvic floor health long-term• About 50% of women need this even on systemic estrogenNon-hormonal options when hormones aren't right• Newer medications targeting particular neurons in the hypothalamus (hot flash regulation)Things you can do and questions to askDr. Riedel's conversation offers practical starting points for women navigating this transition on their own or with a provider.01. Track your symptoms in relation to your cycleSleep disruption, anxiety, and mood changes that follow a cyclic pattern are often hormonal in origin. Note when in your cycle you feel worst because this information is gold for any provider visit.02. Ask your doctor to rule out thyroid and iron firstFatigue, brain fog, and sleep issues can also come from iron deficiency or thyroid dysfunction. Simple labs can clarify what you're actually dealing with before hormones enter the picture.03. Reconsider what's in your sleep toolkitAlcohol before bed worsens sleep, hot flashes, and anxiety, even though it feels like it helps. Benadryl/ZQuil, Ambien, and benzodiazepines disrupt true sleep architecture. CBT for insomnia has strong evidence and virtually zero side effects. 06.

Are you a naturally nurturing person who finds that acts of loving kindness are being mistaken for invitations to be taken advantage of or manipulated? For many generous souls, the moment they begin setting boundaries, the pushback can feel enormous.This is the painful reality for one mother, whose question forms the focus of this episode: "I finally realized my daughter is manipulating me... I have started saying no. This has made her really angry. She is worse than ever and threatens to cut me off if I do not give her whatever she wants."How do you keep your boundaries without losing your child?In this essential discussion, Dr. Carla Manly is joined by clinician and host Dr. Darcy Sterling to provide expert tips on how to create and maintain strong, healthy boundaries, navigate uncomfortable conflicts, and avoid falling back into old, detrimental patterns.We often think that giving our loved ones everything they want and need is the right thing to do. And this is especially true for those of us who are naturally nurturing and giving. Yet, from my experience, I've found that certain people mistake acts of loving kindness for invitations to take advantage--or even abuse--generous souls. When this occurs, eye-opening moments often help the giver realize they are being used or manipulated. And if strong boundaries are then put in place, the push-back can be enormous. Today, I'm joined by a terrific clinician who will provide tips to help you create and maintain healthy boundaries.Topics discussed include family, friends, children, adult children, parents, parenting, emotional blackmail, boundaries, demands, ultimatums, estrangement, conflict avoidance, tolerance, discomfort, healthy boundary setting, empathy, validation, listening, reinforcement, negative behaviors, people-pleasing, and imperfect love.Sensitive Episode: Please note that this episode contains sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Details: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.

I have something SO amazing for you. Our mineral-heavy water started impacting my skin the moment we moved, and I had never experienced eczema or skin issues in my life. Hard water can strip natural oils, disrupt the microbiome, and weaken the skin barrier — leaving you inflamed, reactive, and stuck in flare-ups. That's exactly what happened to my neck, and within almost two weeks of using Herbal Face Food, my eczema is almost gone. This stuff is legit — and I only share my favorite things that actually work. Their formulas are made with ultra-potent, organic, whole-plant botanicals rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and phytonutrients that calm inflammation, rebuild the skin barrier, and fight visible signs of aging instead of masking symptoms. The Cure is their most targeted antioxidant treatment designed to visibly improve stubborn concerns like eczema, melasma, rosacea, scarring, sun damage, and deeper signs of aging. The Cream is a deeply hydrating, ultra-potent botanical moisturizer that firms, smooths, strengthens the skin barrier, and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The Soap gently cleanses without stripping, using powerful plant concentrates to protect, nourish, and support healthy, youthful-looking skin on both the face and body.
