What if your poor sleep, lingering inflammation, and slow recovery weren't signs of aging or overtraining, but signals that your body has been running on empty for far too long? On today's Unsolved Health Mystery Case, I sit down with John, a high-performing entrepreneur and active father. After experiencing lingering effects from long COVID John realized his body hadn't fully recovered and over the past few years, these issues started to take a real toll. Even with a disciplined exercise routine and healthy habits, he continued to feel drained and inflamed, leading him to dig deeper for solutions. Together, we review his Minerals & Metals Test and uncover clear patterns of nervous system overload, depleted reserves, mineral imbalances, and elevated heavy metals that help explain his symptoms. We discuss how chronic stress can lock the body into a fight-or-flight state, create mineral imbalances, impair recovery, and accelerate biological aging even in individuals who "do everything right." So join me on today's Cabral Concept 3609 to discover what your own mineral and metal levels may be revealing about your stress response, recovery capacity, and long-term health, and how addressing these imbalances can help you move from depletion to sustained vitality.

How do stress and sleep disruption stop fat loss? And what can you do to get your body working with you, not against you? I hear it all the time: you're eating right, lifting weights, and doing cardio, yet the weight scale won't budge. In this episode, I break down how chronic stress and poor sleep quietly sabotage fat loss by disrupting cortisol, insulin, hunger hormones, and metabolism. I also share the exact strategies I use to protect my sleep, calm stress, and keep my metabolism working with me instead of against me. What you'll learn: (02:42) Why chronically elevated cortisol drives insulin resistance, belly fat, and steady weight gain over time. (04:32) How stress hormones increase cravings and rewire appetite toward sugary foods. (06:59) How short sleep disrupts leptin, ghrelin, and blood sugar control. (07:46) Why even one night of poor sleep can increase insulin resistance and slow metabolism. (09:22) How poor sleep disrupts growth hormone release and muscle repair. (11:27) Why eating protein first and pairing it with fiber stabilizes blood sugar and supports fat loss. (14:57) How meal timing and caffeine cutoffs directly impact cortisol and sleep quality.

You will learn about the five macro minerals as the big players that run your electrical system, stress response, thyroid, blood sugar, and detox pathways, and why I always start with a straightforward hair test before worrying about smaller numbers.What is really happening when these core minerals drift out of balance and you feel fatigued, anxious, constipated, bloated, unable to sleep well, or emotionally numb while your blood work keeps looking normal? Chronic stress, mold, gut and absorption issues, restrictive eating, big hormonal transitions, and even over filtered water can quietly drain these minerals long before anything shows up clearly on your standard labs. Your body has been compensating for years using every mineral trick it has to keep your blood looking stable, and the question is whether you'll help it move from survival back into actually feeling good.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[02:49] What a cellular-level mineral test reveals long before blood work changes[04:57] How calcium can steady your system or silently block hormonal signals[05:51] The surprising ways low magnesium derails energy, mood, and digestion[06:52] What sodium levels expose about your stress load and resilience[18:52] How mold strips key minerals and creates the “four lows” pattern[20:26] Why arsenic and other heavy metals rise when minerals crash[32:40] What it really takes to move from mineral survival mode back to stabilityResources Mentioned:Master Your Minerals Course | WebsiteOther Hormone Healing episodes to listen to:Zinc deep dive | EpisodeCopper deep dive | EpisodeIron deep dive Part 1 | EpisodeIron deep dive Part 2 | EpisodeAll about the Copper IUD | EpisodeSelenium deep dive | EpisodeNothing boring about Boron | EpisodeMaster your minerals.

Is there something wrong with you… or is there something wrong with the way we live?In this episode, I speak to performance coach and psychophysiologist Paul Taylor about how modern life (from ultra-processed food and poor sleep to constant screens and chronic stress) creates the perfect storm for anxiety, depression, burnout and ADHD-like symptoms. We dig into why so much of “mental illness” sits on a spectrum, how lifestyle can mimic or magnify these conditions, and why over-pathologising normal emotions can sometimes make things worse.Paul also breaks down Hardiness, his idea of Resilience 2.0: a practical framework built on control, challenge, commitment and connection. If you feel overwhelmed, stuck or like you're not coping with the pace of life, this conversation will give you a new way to think about mental health with some simple, science-backed ways to start rebuilding your capacity in a world that isn't exactly designed for humans.Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction (01:06) Meet Dr. Paul Taylor(03:16) Understanding Hardiness vs. Resilience(08:26) The Impact of Modern Life on Mental Health(17:19) The Role of Lifestyle in Mental Health(29:42) The Consequences of Poor Sleep and Diet(36:28) Defining True Recovery(37:24) The Connection Between Mental & Physical Health(37:59) Socioeconomic Disparities in Health(42:04) The Impact of Gambling & Government Inaction(44:14) The Influence of Big Food(51:45) Understanding Hardiness & Stoicism(59:59) The Four C's of Resilience(01:03:44) Final Thoughts & Closing QuestionsAccess FREE Move Your Mind training here:https://go.moveyourmind.io/trainingConnect with Nick:Instagram: https://instagram.com/nickbracksWebsite: http://nickbracks.comEmail: contact@nickbracks.comConnect with Paul:Website: https://www.paultaylor.biz/ Hosted on Acast.

Hey friend, Do you feel wired but exhausted, like your body won't calm down? Have you been told your hormones are “fine,” but you still don't feel right? What if there's a simple test that could reveal why you can't rest? In this episode, I'm continuing my 3-part series on the shifts that finally helped me feel like myself again. Today's focus is progesterone — the hormone often called “nature's Valium.” I'll share how low progesterone left me reactive, restless, and sleepless, and what changed when I finally got it tested the right way. We'll talk about why timing matters for hormone testing, what a full panel should include, and how to look at the balance between estrogen and progesterone. We discuss how daily rhythms like rest, stress management, and nourishing food support hormone balance. But when those rhythms aren't enough, it may be time to dig deeper with labs. I want to give you the full picture of what helped me heal, so you can feel calmer and more rested too.

Do you ever feel like you're caught in a cycle you just can't break?
Send us a textSleep is the foundation of health that too many of us take for granted. We dismiss fatigue as normal aging, snoring as a mere annoyance, and interrupted sleep as something to endure rather than address. This harmful mindset is costing us dearly in terms of our overall wellbeing and longevity.Did you know that 90% of people with sleep apnea remain undiagnosed? This silent condition creates a cascade of health problems as your body struggles to compensate for interrupted breathing. Your heart works overtime, potentially leading to enlargement and eventual congestive heart failure. Your kidneys become stressed when circulation is compromised. Your brain misses its nightly detoxification process when the glymphatic system can't properly clear waste products. The stress hormones released during poor sleep drive inflammation, weight gain, and push those predisposed toward diabetes over the edge into full-blown disease.The cognitive impacts are equally concerning. Research shows a 13% decline in cognitive function with poor sleep quality—imagine trying to perform at work or make important decisions with that handicap. Your mood, personality, and emotional regulation all suffer when sleep is compromised. Meanwhile, growth hormone—essential for cellular repair and metabolism—primarily releases during deep sleep phases that many of us aren't reaching.The solution doesn't require expensive supplements or complicated protocols. Remove electronics from your bedroom, prioritize consistent sleep hours, front-load your fluid intake earlier in the day, and address any urinary or prostate issues rather than simply accepting them. Remember your mother's wisdom: go outside and play, eat your vegetables, and get to bed on time. These three simple pillars support optimal health at any age.If you wake feeling tired despite adequate hours in bed, or find yourself waking multiple times throughout the night, talk to your healthcare provider about sleep apnea screening. Quality sleep isn't a luxury—it's essential preventive medicine and perhaps the most underrated health intervention available to us all.
Most of us never think about how we breathe but science shows it may be one of the most overlooked drivers of health and disease.Dr. Roger McFillin talks with Dr. Amy Lichon, a double-board-certified physician who left a successful hospital career to teach people how to heal through their breath. They explore why mouth breathing fuels anxiety, insomnia, and fatigue, how carbon dioxide and nasal breathing affect the nervous system, and why a century-old method called Buteyko could transform sleep, focus, and even athletic performance.You'll learn practical tools from a simple “control pause” test to techniques for decongesting the nose and calming the nervous system that anyone can start today. If you've tried everything for stress, sleep, or focus and nothing sticks, this conversation may reveal the missing piece.Learn more about Dr. Amy Lichon here: https://www.courami.com/ Dr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here
What happens when you stop taking progesterone, even for just a few weeks? In this quick episode, I'm sharing my personal story of running out of progesterone, how my symptoms came rushing back, and why this hormone is so important for women in perimenopause. You'll learn why dosing and delivery methods matter, common signs of low progesterone, and how we help clients find a provider who actually understands women's hormones. I covered: My story of running out of progesterone and the symptoms that returned How progesterone is the first hormone to decline after 35 Common signs of low progesterone: mood swings, anxiety, poor sleep, heavy periods The pros and cons of oral, vaginal/rectal, and topical progesterone Why dosing matters (too low can trigger “estrogen kickback”) Why it's vital to find a hormone-savvy provider who listens and prescribes appropriately WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/CQ9YF9Go43k Links Mentioned: Ona's Natural Progesterone Cream Moods, Emotions, and Aging: Hormones and the Mind-Body Connection by Phyllis Bronson Episode 32: Progesterone: The Miracle Hormone w/ Carol Petersen (Registered Pharmacist) LOVE THE SHOW?

Low GABA levels are linked to anxiety, poor sleep, memory issues, and neurological conditions like epilepsy and Alzheimer's, but boosting GABA through your gut microbiome offers a natural solution A study in NPJ Science of Food found that prebiotics like fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and Aspergillus-derived enzymes significantly increased brain GABA and homocarnosine, a compound that protects and stabilizes brain function Specific gut bacteria such as Akkermansia and Parabacteroides were directly linked to higher GABA production, while strains like Blautia and Roseburia were associated with lower levels and gut imbalance If your gut is inflamed, even healthy fibers worsen symptoms — so it's essential to start with low-fermentation carbs and reintroduce prebiotics slowly once digestion improves Strategies like fermented foods, GABA supplements, and natural progesterone further enhance GABA activity and support calm, clear, and stable brain function

Suffering from anxiety, weight gain, or brain fog? Poor sleep could be causing your biggest health issues — and your kids are just as vulnerable. In this episode, Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown, board-certified sleep physician and author of Beyond Tired: A Sleep Physician's Guide to Solving Your Child's Sleep Problems for Good, explains how sleep impacts our mood, hormones and long-term health. From unhealthy food cravings to hyperactivity in your kids, she shares surprising signs of poor sleep and how we can start to address them.

But here's the good news: Dr. Scott and Tommy share simple, practical tips you can use tonight to fix your sleep. They'll tell you how to set up your bedroom for better rest, when to stop drinking coffee, why eating late ruins your sleep, and how to create an evening routine that helps both your sleep and your weight loss goals.

Are you doing everything right—eating well, moving more, maybe even taking GLP-1 meds after surgery—and still feel exhausted or stuck on the scale? Here's a truth bomb: if your sleep is off, your immune system weakens, your hunger hormones can be affected, and your weight loss can stall. Before you roll your eyes and think, “I know, I know—I should go to bed earlier,” I want you to hang tight. Because what you're probably not being told is just how critical sleep is for your immune system, weight regulation, and even your hormones—especially if you've had bariatric surgery or are taking weight-loss medications like GLP-1s.

I need to tell you about Brenda. When she first came to me, she was done. Exhausted, burned out, frustrated. She felt like she was living in a body she didn't recognize anymore — and no matter how “healthy” she tried to be, nothing was working. ✔️ Her hair was thinning. ✔️ Her weight was climbing. ✔️ She couldn't sleep. ✔️ Her energy was nonexistent. ✔️ Her cycles were all over the place. And she kept thinking, “Maybe it's just stress… maybe it'll pass.” But it didn't. What Brenda didn't realize was that years of unaddressed hormone shifts — from birth control to motherhood to relentless career demands to a devastating divorce — had sent her system into survival mode. Her cortisol was sky-high, her estrogen detox pathways were struggling, and her body was holding on to everything because it didn't feel safe. Here's what changed everything for her: We tested first. Not at the end of the program. Not as an afterthought. Right up front. We used a DUTCH hormone test to see exactly what was happening inside her body — what her cortisol patterns looked like, how she was metabolizing estrogen, and whether her body was trying to keep up or completely tapped out. Then we built a customized plan specifically for her body. No cookie-cutter protocols, no generic advice. ✅ Nutrition tailored to her cycle. ✅ Targeted, effective supplements. ✅ Stress management strategies for real life. ✅ And ongoing testing to track real, measurable progress. And today? Brenda is thriving. ✔️ Her energy is back. ✔️ Her cycles are regular. ✔️ She's sleeping through the night. ✔️ The stubborn weight has started to release. ✔️ And, most importantly, she feels like herself again. I share Brenda's story because I know so many women are walking around right now in burnout mode, thinking this is just how it is. It doesn't have to be.

We're diving into how poor sleep is linked to poor egg quality. If you're struggling to fall asleep, waking up in the night, or getting out of bed feeling exhausted—this isn't just a sleep issue. It's a signal that your body is out of alignment, and for those navigating low AMH, DOR, POI, poor egg quality, or recurrent pregnancy loss, sleep disruptions can be a major red flag. In the Fab Fertile Method, we know that consistent, restful sleep plays a critical role in regulating hormones, supporting egg health, and optimizing fertility. But if you're constantly wired at bedtime, wide awake at 2 a.m., or dragging through the day despite 8 hours in bed—there's likely an underlying imbalance at play. In this episode, we dive into how sleep issues can be linked to blood sugar swings, adrenal dysfunction, inflammation, liver congestion, and more. And most importantly—we'll share the first steps to rebalance your body and reclaim the deep rest your fertility depends on. Sleep is not optional on the fertility journey. Let's uncover why your sleep is disrupted—and what to do about it. This episode is for you if: You have DOR, poor egg quality, or low AMH and struggle with waking up in the middle of the night, falling asleep, or feeling exhausted. You want to understand how hormonal imbalances, blood sugar issues, and stress impact both sleep and fertility. You're looking for functional medicine strategies, including the Fab Fertile Method, to improve sleep, support ovarian health, and enhance egg quality naturally.

Men's health is in serious decline — and it's happening faster than most realize. In this episode, CJ breaks down the alarming trends and gives you practical, science-backed steps to reclaim your health and vitality.Globally, men are living 5 years shorter than women. Testosterone levels are plummeting by 1% every year, sperm counts have dropped by over 50% in 40 years, and chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes are hitting earlier than ever. In regions like the UAE, 7 out of 10 men under 30 are already facing obesity and diabetes risks.But here's the good news: your body wants to heal. By giving it the right inputs, you can dramatically shift your health trajectory.What's Going Wrong:Stress & Poor Sleep suppress testosterone and increase cortisol.Processed food & toxins disrupt hormones and damage mitochondria.Low testosterone leads to fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, and fertility problems.Chronic inflammation silently fuels disease.Poor gut health undermines immunity and hormone balance.Toxin buildup from everyday products mimics hormones and throws off your system.Neglecting mental health quietly destroys resilience and well-being.What You Can Do About It:Prioritize Sleep: Poor sleep drops testosterone by 15% in just one week. Stick to sleep protocols and build a healthy nighttime routine.Manage Stress Daily: Meditation, breathwork, evening walks, or even watching the sunset can lower cortisol and protect your hormones.Exercise Regularly: Strength training 3–4 times a week boosts testosterone and supports mitochondrial health.Support Mitochondria & Gut Health: Take supplements like CoQ10, PQQ, and Acetyl L-Carnitine. Add probiotics, prebiotics, and digestive enzymes for a healthier gut.Detox & Boost Cardiovascular Health: Sweat daily (exercise or sauna), eat cruciferous vegetables, and increase nitric oxide with beetroot or leafy greens. Consider supplements like L-arginine or L-citrulline.Key Takeaways:Men's health is an ecosystem — hormones, gut, mitochondria, and mind are deeply connected.Tiny changes create momentum. Stack small habits daily.Movement matters — even non-exercise activity boosts nitric oxide and heart health.Supplements are helpful but not a shortcut. Lifestyle comes first.Your health is your highest ROI. There is no wealth without health.Your action starts today. Share this episode with someone who needs it — and if you're a woman, this knowledge is just as powerful for supporting the men in your life.Stay strong. Keep biohacking.

Aching tightness, head-splitting migraines, breathing issues, and poor sleep quality — these are all signs of trapped tension in your body. The good news is that exercising one specific (and often forgotten) body part can help restore your well-being… I'm talking about your tongue… I first discovered how to unlock the power of whole-body tension relief when Dr. Neel Bulchandani visited my house and did some very unique body therapy on me (including putting his fingers into my mouth and my nasal cavity to 'adjust' those sections)! I later released an Instagram post about his groundbreaking Tongue Press program — a video series and guide designed to optimize tongue mobility. Dr. Bulchandani is a holistic chiropractor and bodywork educator who has poured over 15 years of chiropractic expertise and five years of training fellow bodyworkers into creating not just Tongue Press, but his other unique methods as well. Trusted by nearly 10,000 patients, his method is a welcomed solution for anyone struggling with persistent stiffness, pain, or even chronic conditions like TMJ, back pain, and digestive issues. Dr. Bulchandani's approach isn't just about temporary relief but about empowering you with tools for long-term healing and improved mobility. *If you want to try his Tongue Press program, you'll receive a masterclass packed with videos, audio, and a detailed PDF guide. Plus, you get months of Dr. Bulchandani ‘s exclusive newsletter, all with a special 30% discount, by using code BenAirway here.
