Podcasts about Prather

The future of Disease Care medicine is described as Predictive, Preventive, Personalized, Participatory, and Precision.  But as we first started to discuss on last week's show, Dr. Prather says all of those elements are already available in Structure-Function Health Care.  In this episode, we talk about:—How two patients diagnosed with the same Cancer can have different underlying causes for the same Disease. —The importance of getting to the root cause of an issue in Structure-Function Health Care, while Disease Care focuses on symptoms. —Why Dr. Prather actually cautions his patients against doing parasite cleanses or a Liver flush on their own.  And the gentle approach he utilizes instead. —The critical aspect of patient participation for Structure-Function Care to work, as the doctor and patient have to "work together."—How patients who understand their health condition actually report less pain and discomfort.  And why Dr. Prather always makes sure a patient receives a copy their lab tests with his own notes showing the numbers they are trying to achieve.—The features of Homeopathic Medicine that were actually copied by the pharmaceutical industry and even "led the way" in many of changes made by pharmaceutical companies. —Why both the diagnostics and treatments in Dr. Prather's office all focus on precision to target exactly what the patient needs.  And why the "normal" ranges listed on lab tests are not the "ideal" ranges you actually need for good health. —How Dr. Prather describes Disease Care like a football team's offense, while Structure-Function Care is a team's defense.  And how "defense wins championships".—Why using Structure-Function Health Care as primary care can improve outcomes by 85% and can also solve America's National debt.—The number one thing Dr. Prather would change in how medicine is practiced today. http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

The future of Disease Care medicine is described as Predictive, Preventive, Personalized, Participatory, and Precision.  But Dr. Prather says all of those elements are already available in the Structure-Function Health Care that he practices.  In this episode, find out:—The FDA distinction between Disease Care Medicine and Structure-Function Health Care.—Why Dr. Prather says that "Structure-Function has always had the 5 P's" which are "integral" to this philosophy of care.—How Structure-Function Health Care is best known for its preventative benefits, but should also be better known for its necessity after a disease has already developed. —How the functional lab tests at Holistic Integration can "pick up on problems way before they come", which can then be prevented.—Why Dr. Prather cautions against drastic action because of genetic tests that show a tendency of a patient to develop a disease in the future. —The amazing story of a patient during the AIDS crisis who developed all the symptoms of AIDS after receiving what turned out to be a false HIV-positive test, but the symptoms disappeared after the second (and correct) negative test came back. —How Dr. Prather encouragingly says that "everything can be changed, everything can be helped, and everything can be prevented".  And why his experience with patients causes him to conclude that "having the right attitude makes all the difference in the world". —The importance of keeping the body structurally-aligned, as well as functionally-aligned, for the prevention of future issues.  And how Dr. Prather sees that 90% of people no longer fit the "normal" pattern of structural alignment due to changes that he never witnessed at the start of his career 40 years ago.—The reason Dr. Prather says anti-Cholesterol statin drugs have done "more harm than good".  And why using Cholesterol drugs as a preventative for future Cardiovascular Disease has failed. —Why Dr. Prather says that his three foundational lab tests (The Prather Profile Bloodwork, a Hair Analysis, and a stool kit) are usually all he needs to get a patient healthy before the need for "fancy" testing. http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

Sleep expert Dr. Aric Prather joins Matt today for a fascinating discussion about insomnia's frustrating reality: trying to force sleep backfires; sleep arrives naturally. Dr. Prather highlights a surprising starting point: forget focusing on bedtime, prioritize a consistent wake-up time, even weekends. Noting that this anchors your internal clock and builds essential sleep pressure (the 'balloon'), he also cautions that sleeping in after a bad night disrupts this cycle. After touching on societal factors impacting sleep, the conversation shifts to managing the mental side—the stress and anxiety creating that 'tired but wired' state. Dr. Prather shares practical techniques: daytime micro-breaks, breathing exercises, and scheduling worry time to keep thoughts from hijacking the night. Listeners learn how the bedroom can become a trigger for wakefulness and how stimulus control (getting out of bed when not sleeping) breaks that association. Finally, they cover Time-in-Bed Restriction: deliberately spending less time in bed can paradoxically consolidate sleep by intensifying sleep drive, building confidence. This episode offers tools not for nightly success, but for improving sleep on average and reducing panic over occasional bad nights.Please note that Matt is not a medical doctor, and none of the content in this podcast should be considered medical advice in any way, shape, or form, nor prescriptive in any way.One of our sponsors this week is the biochemical electrolyte drink company LMNT, and they are very kindly offering eight free sample packs when you purchase any one of their orders at drinklmnt.com/mattwalker.

7 million children have been diagnosed with ADHD, with over half of those children taking prescription medications.  But Dr. Prather says that the Structure-Function approach gets to the actual root cause of the symptoms instead of just masking the symptoms with prescriptions.  In this episode, we talk about:—How ADHD is caused by a neurotransmitter abnormality that's going on, where the brain does not work as it should.—Why Dr. Prather believes there is an actual increase in ADHD, not just more cases due to heightened awareness. —The diagnostics Dr. Prather recommends to get to the root cause of ADHD symptoms, including a Hair Analysis and a G.I. Stool Kit.  And the Neurotransmitter and Neural Zoomer Tests that reveal exactly what is going on in the brain and how to correct it.—The role of parasites in causing mental health issues.  And the amazing story of how Dr. Prather helped a boy go from being recommended for Special Education class to being accepted into a Gifted program after his parasites were cleared up. —How boys are more likely to be affected by Heavy Metal Toxicities, which are well-known to change the brain chemistry.  And how girls are more likely to have Copper toxicities and Iron deficiencies that will result in changes in personality and academic performance.—Why the diet is a huge factor in ADHD and the dietary recommendations for the best results.—The list of Vitamins, Minerals, Natural Supplements and Homeopathics that improve focus and attention.  And how Chiropractic and Acupuncture are important treatments that "make an immediate, quick, and long-term change in a child's performance".—The well-known evidence for how taking ADHD medication as children can lead to drug addiction when they become adults.  And why researchers said that ADHD drugs were more for the benefit of parents and teachers, not the children.—The dangerous side-effects of ADHD medications, including:  weight loss, loss of appetite, stunted growth, difficulty sleeping, drowsiness, anxiety, abdominal problems, fatigue, heart problems, hypertension, skin issues, involuntary tics, and psychosis. —Plus, learn how you can get 20% off our Neurotransmitter and Neural Zoomer Test that measures brain chemicals and imbalances by attending our upcoming free educational seminar with Dr. Prather this Wednesday, May 28th at 6:30 p.m.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

Hair Analysis is the basis of Dr. Prather's evaluation of a patient's mental health issues, because it is the best way to measure their body's mineral levels and heavy metal toxicities.  In fact, Dr. Prather says that, if he can get a Hair Analysis on a patient, "probably 95% of the mental health issues go away".  In this episode, find out:—Why the hair reflects what is going on in the brain and in the nervous system.  And the "transformative change in people's mental health" when you "get the minerals back in Homeostasis and the heavy metals out of the system".—How the most common heavy metal toxicity Dr. Prather sees is Aluminum, which "poisons the brain" and is linked to Dementia, Alzheimer's, Osteoporosis, balance problems, aggressive behavior in children, ADHD, Autism, and Insomnia.—The problems caused by Lead, Mercury, and Nickel for mental health.  And why Dr. Prather says that Nickel is "even worse" than those toxicities and is always something he checks for on patients with severe upper motor neuron diseases like Multiple Sclerosis and ALS.—The CDC study that showed 65% of all children have some sort of heavy metal toxicity.  And how Dr. Prather has had "kids go from Special Ed. to Honors, just by getting their heavy metals out and balancing out their minerals".—How an imbalance in the Copper-Zinc ratio can lead to issues like Anxiety, Attention Deficit, Dementia, Depression, and Insomnia.  And how high Copper is more common in females than males. —The link between high Manganese and Bi-Polar, Parkinson's symptoms, and tremors.  And the importance of a proper Calcium-Magnesium ratio. —Why Dr. Prather says that you can do everything possible, but are "never going to get a person's mental health issues under control until you get rid of those heavy metal toxicities". —How Dr. Prather uses a gentle and natural detoxification process for heavy metal toxicities that is "much more effective" than Chelation, which can be damaging to the Kidneys and Liver and deplete the body of minerals.—Why Amish men who do woodworking are in danger of high Arsenic levels, which can cause Anxiety, mood disorders, antagonistic personality, Depression, and Insomnia. —Dr. Prather's surprising discovery about the importance of low Molybdenum, which can cause fatigue, Depression, and can cause someone to become so tired that they can't even sleep.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

This week, Dr. Prather talks about the importance of the Autonomic Nervous System to our health and how to achieve a proper balance between the Parasympathetic and Sympathetic Nervous Systems.   In this episode, you'll learn:—How Dr. Prather only finds about 10-15% of patients have a properly-balanced Autonomic Nervous System.  And how "basically 100% of patients" were imbalanced during COVID, a trend which has continued. —Why the proper balance is 80% of our time should be in the Parasympathetic (Rest and Digest) mode and 20% of the time in the Sympathetic (Fight or Flight) mode. —The "freeze" mechanism that Dr. Prather has seen in patients where they get so stressed that they can't even function. —Why Dr. Prather says an imbalance in the Autonomic Nervous System can kick off "all" health issues, symptoms, and diseases.  And the Autonomic Nervous System test at Holistic Integration that measures the function of the Vagus Nerve and the balance of the spinal cord between the Parasympathetic and Sympathetic systems. —The test Dr. Prather does on the Levator Scapulae to determine a patient's stress levels. —The deep-breathing and eye exercises which help regulate the Vagus Nerve.  And the benefits of humming, gargling, cold showers, and exercise for your Vagus Nerve. —The Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic Adjustment that is a specialty at Holistic Integration which Dr. Prather says is "the most important thing you can do for your health" and is the most important treatment to balance out the Autonomic Nervous System.—How Acupuncture can "immediately" decrease the Cortisol stress hormone and increase the "feel good" Oxytocin hormone.—The symptoms of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).  And why Dr. Prather says the Atlas "is the biggest thing we can do to improve that" and that "you are never going to be able to fix POTS without the Atlas being set into its proper position".—Plus, we're joined by Angie Nuttle of the VIP Center for Businesswomen to talk about their upcoming "VIP Week" where our own Lisa Prather will be speaking.  Learn more about VIP Week at https://www.vipcenter.works/vipweek .http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

Dr. Prather previews his upcoming free Holistic Integration educational seminar this Wednesday, April 30th at 6 p.m.  In this episode, we talk about:—The first two things in our body that Dr. Prather always says you need to get fixed if you want to get healthy.   —How your hormones determine your weight, your mood, your overall health and well-being, and how well you age.  And how hormone imbalance can even impact your sleep and can cause insomnia. —The reason women have far more complex hormones to balance for mood compared to men, who are "simple creatures".—Why Dr. Prather says that doctors "aren't smart enough" to regulate all of the hormones of the body.  And the Structure-Function approach he uses to help the BODY to be the hero and balance the hormones itself.—The Testosterone levels men should have in order to function.  And why men with low Testosterone usually have to be brought into a doctor's office by someone else for help because they have "crashed" and don't have the motivation to come in themselves. —Why Dr. Prather says that "beauty is the result of a good Hormonal system".  And how women are attracted to different types of men based upon where they are at in their monthly cycle. —The Herbals, Glandulars, Vitamins, Minerals, and Homeopathics that can help to naturally balance Hormones.  And why Dr. Prather says that only 2% of the time should patients actually be given prescription Hormones. —How the Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic Adjustment at Holistic Integration is "the number one thing" when it comes to balancing out the Endocrine System. —Why Acupuncture is helpful for stimulating healing of your Hormone system, including the relief of excruciating pain from cystic ovaries within minutes.—How you can ask Dr. Prather questions and receive 20% off of our thorough Hormone test by attending Dr. Prather's free seminar this Wednesday night, either in person or on ZOOM.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

And how Cod Liver Oil that families used to regularly give to their children can help build up a child's immune system.—The helpful natural things for someone who already has Measles, such as:  Homeopathic Belladonna and herbal Feverfew for fever and Oatmeal baths and Homeopathic Avena Sativa for the rash.  And how antibiotics can be "extremely helpful" for secondary infections like pneumonia.—How regular Chiropractic adjustments and the Spleen-21 Acupuncture point are effective ways to boost a patient's immune system when they are fighting an infection.  And the benefit of the Diathermy treatment at Holistic Integration for quickly clearing up upper-respiratory infections.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

Michael Soileau and Scott Prather of LFT Fiber: Bringing Community-Owned Connectivity to Lafayette and Beyond This episode of Discover Lafayette features Michael Soileau, Director of LFT Fiber (formerly LUS Fiber), and Scott Prather, Public Relations Manager for the community-owned fiber utility. Together, they share the powerful story of how Lafayette's local investment in fiber optics two decades ago has blossomed into a cutting-edge broadband network that now reaches into rural and underserved communities across South Louisiana. It also underscored Lafayette's long-standing commitment to serving as a leader in our region, state, and nation in providing top-notch services to our citizens. A Full-Circle Moment Michael Soileau, a Mamou native, reflects on how the expansion of LFT Fiber into Evangeline Parish—one of Louisiana's most underserved and impoverished regions—feels personal. Thanks to strategic federal grants secured with the help of former Lafayette Mayor-President Monique Boulet during her time with Acadiana Planning Commission, LFT Fiber is fulfilling its mission to bridge the digital divide in rural communities. Celebrating 20 Years of Fiber Innovation Lafayette was one of the first cities in the country to build its own fiber optic network. What started as a utility communication system quickly evolved into a public broadband network. On June 16, LFT Fiber celebrates the 20th anniversary of the citizens' vote to support this bold initiative. Expanding Across Acadiana Through federal funding programs such as the GUMBO grant, LFT Fiber has expanded into seven parishes: Evangeline, Iberia, Vermilion, St. Landry, Eunice, Jennings, and Acadia, focusing on homes that previously lacked access to true broadband. While they don't yet serve 100% of these areas, the goal remains to connect as many people as possible. Workforce and Community Investment LFT Fiber employs 94 local professionals and partners with Lafayette-based contractors for construction and installation. Community pride runs deep, and their mission extends beyond internet access—they support local nonprofits, events like Festival International, and schools through digital access and sponsorships. Connection Essentials: Making Internet Affordable Recognizing that not every household can afford premium internet, LFT Fiber recently launched Connection Essentials, a $25/month plan offering 60 Mbps service to families receiving federal assistance with a student in the home. The plan includes a modem and is currently being rolled out in Evangeline Parish, with expansion underway in Lafayette and beyond. The "Connection Essentials" plan provides internet speeds 60 Mbps download and 60 Mbps upload for $25 per month, with unlimited data usage and no overage fees. Customer premise equipment is included at no additional cost. A one-time installation fee of $49 will be charged at the time of service activation. Everyday Pricing ("EDP") has also been introduced at affordable rates offered at 1 GBPS for $85.00 per month or 500 MBPS for $65.00 per month. "A commitment to fair, consistent pricing with no gimmicks, no surprises, and no limited-time promotions that leave you guessing." Digital Literacy and Safety Providing access is only part of the mission. LFT Fiber is actively partnering with school districts, library systems, and nonprofits to improve digital literacy, helping families understand how to safely and effectively use the internet for telemedicine, education, job searching, and more. Collaboration as a Core Value The recent Connectivity Summit, hosted by LFT Fiber on April 2, 2025, brought together business, nonprofit, healthcare, and education leaders to discuss shared challenges and foster partnerships. These summits help generate the kind of serendipitous, five-minute conversations that spark long-term innovation and community growth. On the Connectivity Summit, Michael Soileau shared,
