Dr. Jen Pfleghaar joins me today to break down why your menstrual cycle is actually the key to optimizing your workouts, timing your nutrition, and finally making progress with stubborn weight loss. As an emergency medicine physician who transitioned to integrative medicine after reversing her own Hashimoto's, Dr. Jen brings both clinical expertise and real-world experience. She explains why the "hustle harder" mentality works for men but can backfire for women, especially during perimenopause. You'll learn why your stress resistance changes throughout your cycle, why daily intermittent fasting might sabotage your goals, and how to time everything from HIIT workouts to longer fasts. We also dive into why every woman needs to lift weights and red flags about hormone advice on social media. If what used to work isn't working anymore, this episode gives you a new framework for working with your body's rhythms.

On this week's episode I'm joined by Leslie Kenny, founder of Oxford Healthspan and the Oxford Longevity Project. This conversation was one of the most profound transformations I've heard. At 39, while facing infertility and undergoing IVF, Leslie was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. She was told she only had five years to live and they couldn't help her with any treatments. Refusing to accept this prognosis, Leslie started a life changing transformation to reclaim her health and save her life. Through eliminating inflammatory triggers, restoring balance in her body, and supporting its natural healing process, she renewed her health from the inside out.At now 60 years old, she is autoimmune disease-free, conceived naturally at 43 and has the biological age of 21. In this deeply inspiring episode, Leslie opens up about her challenging story, sharing the lifestyle and dietary changes that made the biggest impact, and revealing the one hidden trigger almost everyone overlooks.Other links to include;Kaatsu Bandshttps://kaatsu.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqbQOJM_X1c42tC_5v1DAbCByaPc6s2uIJwYDBAh6a4K3JrgfGkCode BEYONDTHEMAT for 20% discount https://oxford-healthspan.myshopify.com?sca_ref=9740151.EkSo3tsTaG87Z5CQ // MORE FROM BRYONY // Use BEYOND30 to get a free 30-days on the Pilates By Bryony app here.Visit pilatesbybryony.com and shop our products here.

What if everything you've been told about cancer treatment is leaving out the most important piece? After healing her own breast cancer 100% naturally despite living what most would call a perfect clean lifestyle, Katrina discovered that one-size-fits-all medicine - whether conventional or alternative - fails because it doesn't address YOUR unique root causes. In this episode, we break down her comprehensive 10-part framework for building an individualized cancer recovery team. We explore why PET scans use glucose to find cancer yet patients are told diet doesn't matter, how stress can sabotage even perfect nutrition, and the shocking truth about what most oncologists never test. Whether you're facing a diagnosis or supporting someone who is, this conversation gives you the tools to take control of your health journey through collaborative care that honors both your body's wisdom and medical expertise.For the complete show notes, links and transcript visit inspiredliving.show/217

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is often dismissed as just another autoimmune condition. But what if your diagnosis is only part of the story? In this episode, Dr. Nicole pulls back the curtain on the real drivers behind RA—beyond the immune system. From chronic infections hiding in your joints to neurological pain loops and environmental toxins like mold, this isn't just about symptom suppression. It's about digging up the root. She also shares why immunosuppressants may offer short-term relief but come with long-term consequences—and what to do instead to avoid permanent joint damage.

They discuss how they became Rheum Champions, their personal journeys with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, PCOS, and more, and the importance of community and support. The episode also highlights significant takeaways from the meeting, including research updates, the passion of the researchers, and the heartwarming sense of community.  This podcast serves as a powerful reminder of how important it is to integrate the patient voice into rheumatology research.   *This episode was originally recorded for the My Spoonie Sisters podcast. Episode at a glance:00:00 Welcome to the Rheum Champions Tell All01:59 Introducing the Rheum Champions03:55 Sharing Our Stories: The Journey to Advocacy07:13 The Impact of Community and Support10:55 Becoming a Rheum Champion16:09 Highlights from the 2025 Investigators Meeting24:52 Final Thoughts and How to Get InvolvedMedical disclaimer: All content found on Arthritis Life public channels was created for generalized informational purposes only.

The biggest hormone myth is finally being debunked, and it's kept millions of women suffering needlessly. I'm talking with Dr. Deb Matthew about the shocking truth: estrogen actually protects against breast cancer, with studies showing a 24% reduction in risk. For 20 years, women have been denied hormone support based on a completely misinterpreted study. We dive deep into how hormone imbalances fuel autoimmune conditions, why your doctor might still be afraid to help you, and what you need to know to advocate for yourself. If you've been told you're "too young" or "too old" for hormones, or that feeling exhausted and irritable is just "normal aging," this conversation could change everything. You deserve to feel resilient, not depleted.For the complete show notes, links and transcript visit inspiredliving.show/216

Ever wonder why you can't stop craving sugar and carbs no matter how hard you try? It's not about willpower; it's about the wrong bacteria controlling your gut. Paul Barattiero, founder of Echo Water and pioneer in hydrogen therapy, reveals the shocking truth behind those relentless food cravings. Your gut should naturally produce 10-12 liters of hydrogen gas daily through proper fermentation, but most of us are nowhere near that. In this conversation, Paul shares how he accidentally discovered hydrogen water while desperately trying to heal his wife's severe health issues. What he found changed everything: 96% of your gut bacteria need a specific electrical environment to thrive, and when they don't get it, the wrong bacteria take over - literally controlling what you crave. I dive deep into the science behind why your microbiome needs negative electrical potential, how hydrogen water creates the perfect terrain for healing, and why you might finally be able to eat foods you've been avoiding for years. This isn't another wellness trend… We're talking about 1,500+ studies and real solutions for chronic inflammation and autoimmunity!For the complete show notes, links and transcripts visit inspiredliving.show/215

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Kristin to discuss her session at ACR Convergence on taking a personalized approach to pulmonary hypertension in connective tissue diseases. She shares why now is the critical moment for this shift and how “personalized” care extends beyond biomarkers and imaging to encompass clinical nuances, patient-reported symptoms, and multidisciplinary collaboration. We explore the key challenges in detecting pulmonary hypertension early, the promise of emerging technologies like AI-assisted imaging and molecular diagnostics, and the subtle red flags clinicians should recognize in at-risk patients. Dr. Kristin also reflects on her unique dual training in rheumatology and pulmonology, the defining moments that shaped her career, and how mentorship continues to drive innovation and compassion in the care of patients with connective tissue lung disease. 

In this episode, we explore RheumCode, a groundbreaking new initiative from the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) designed to build a common digital language for rheumatology. RheumCode aims to ensure that data means the same thing wherever it lives—whether in an EHR, a clinic, or a registry—enabling systems to seamlessly communicate and make better use of the medical information already being documented. We discussed how RheumCode began, the collaboration behind its development, and its potential to transform the way clinicians practice; researchers study disease, and patients experience their care.  This episode was sponsored by Pfizer  

Dr. Edens debunks common misconceptions, such as vaccines causing autoimmune diseases or always triggering flares. She explains that while mild immune responses are normal, serious complications are extremely rare and the benefits far outweigh the risks. Dr Edens emphasizes that vaccines not only prevent infections but also certain cancers, making them an essential part of care for immunosuppressed patients. The discussion also explores vaccine timing with medications, the dangers of misinformation, and how to talk about vaccine hesitancy with empathy and evidence.Episode at a glance:Guest Expert: Dr. Cuoghi Edens, dual-trained adult and pediatric rheumatologist at the University of Chicago.Myth #1: “Natural is better than vaccines” — Debunked; vaccines dramatically reduce child and adult mortality from infectious diseases.Myth #2: “Vaccines cause autoimmune diseases” — Overwhelming evidence shows they do not.Myth #3: “Vaccines always cause flare-ups” — Possible but uncommon; most patients tolerate vaccines well, and disease prevention outweighs brief discomfort.Risk–Benefit Balance: Vaccines protect against infections and cancers (HPV, hepatitis B) that can worsen or complicate autoimmune diseases.Timing & Medications: ACR guidelines suggest coordination with treatments like rituximab and high-dose steroids, but partial protection is better than none.Health Literacy Tip: “Doing research” means reviewing credible scientific evidence—not social-media opinions or cherry-picked studies.Social Stigma: Addresses misinformation, polarization, and “anti-vax” rhetoric, highlighting the need for compassion and critical thinking.Trusted Resources: Children's Hospital of Philadelphia vaccine education site and American College of Rheumatology guidelines.Key Takeaway: Vaccines are safe, vital, and empowering tools for people with autoimmune diseases.Medical disclaimer: All content found on Arthritis Life public channels (including Rheumer Has It) was created for generalized informational purposes only.

After 35 years in medicine, Dr. Joe Jacko has seen it all - and he's ready to tell you what the medical industry doesn't want you to know. In our conversation, he breaks down why patients only get half the information they need, how drug studies use misleading statistics, and why evidence-based medicine has become cookbook medicine driven by insurance profits. But this isn't just criticism, it's empowerment. We discuss Blue Zone residents living to 100 without knowing medical science, why purpose can outweigh poor health markers, and practical strategies for advocating for yourself in medical appointments. Dr. Jacko now runs a comprehensive wellness clinic proving that lifestyle medicine works better than pills for chronic conditions. Key topics: patient empowerment, lifestyle medicine, autoimmune healing, finding integrative doctors, Blue Zones longevity secrets, and why gentle movement beats over-exercising.For the complete show notes, links and transcript visit: inspiredliving.show/214

In this episode, Dr. Shaun Jackson uses a compelling patient case to illuminate the complex mechanisms of immune tolerance and autoimmunity. He explains how B cells learn to avoid targeting the body's own tissues through central and peripheral tolerance—and how these safeguards can fail. The discussion covers the roles of germinal centers, T cells, and rare genetic disorders in shaping immune regulation, with Alport's syndrome and post-transplant Goodpasture's disease serving as striking examples. Dr. Jackson also reflects on emerging directions in autoimmune research and shares his journey from medical training in South Africa to leading a research program in Seattle, offering valuable insights for future physician-scientists. 

Chris Burres, chief scientist at MyVitalC, sits down with me to expose a shocking truth about the supplement industry. Peer-reviewed research shows 50% of supplements don't contain what's on their labels - and Chris tested 22 ESS60 products to prove it. We dive deep into the Nobel Prize-winning ESS60 molecule that extended rat lifespans by 90% with zero tumors, how it works in your mitochondria to buffer oxidative stress, and why manufacturing integrity matters more than marketing claims. Chris also shares his personal migraine transformation story and explains why mindset journaling might be the most important longevity practice you're not doing. This conversation will change how you think about cellular health and supplement quality forever.For the complete show notes, links and transcript visit inspiredliving.show/213

Send us a textOn this episode, Dr. Eeks chats with Dr. Carlijn Wagenaar about the Plants for Joints research in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA), exploring how a plant-centered lifestyle (not just diet) was tested and what changed in disease activity, inflammation, pain, and function.Episode at a glance:Study design, plainly: who enrolled, program length, and how PFJ was evaluated for RA (disease activity & inflammatory markers) and OA (pain & function scores).What “plant-centered lifestyle” meant in real life: meals, movement minimums, sleep nudges, stress tools, and weekly support—not just a diet sheet.Why they taught cooking: inside the hands-on classes  and how skills improved adherence.Primary outcomes: what shifted in RA activity and labs, OA pain/function—and how quickly.The biology (in plain language) as to why plants help our jointsParticipant takeaways: less stiffness, easier mornings, better energy; the habits that made it stick.What's next: how programs like PFJ could reshape everyday arthritis care.Dr. Wagenaar is a physician and researcher in the Netherlands.

Rheumatoid arthritis is not just a joint disease but a disorder of accelerated immune aging, with your immune system acting decades older than your actual age People with early joint pain already show reduced production of fresh immune cells and higher levels of inflammation, years before arthritis is formally diagnosed Research shows rheumatoid arthritis patients in their 40s and 50s have immune systems resembling much older adults, with DNA damage and exhausted immune cells Old, worn-out immune cells called senescent cells build up in rheumatoid arthritis, driving joint damage and weakening your body's ability to fight infections Practical steps like eating spermidine-rich foods, removing senescent cells, lowering inflammation, improving sleep and stress control, and supporting mitochondrial energy help keep your immune system younger and more resilient

On this week's Tech Nation, Moira speaks with MIT's Alan Lightman talks about who scientists are in “The Shape of Wonder”, and Rob Armstrong from Artax Biopharma focuses on treating the untreatable – those 40% of Rheumatoid Arthritis patients who don't respond to current drugs. Then Dr Daniel Kraft tells us that we're moving from Dr. Google to Dr. ChatGPT.

Episode 25:41 The (Natural) Autoimmune Solution It is estimated that nearly 50 million Americans suffer with an autoimmune disorder. Conditions such as Hashimoto's, Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis, Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriasis and Vitiligo.  The cause, according to the medical profession, is unknown. I don't believe that. The treatment, according to the medical profession, focuses on drugs. Drugs such as Immunosuppressants, Anti-Inflammatories, Corticosteroids, and Pain killers. I don't agree with that. The mechanism of action is that the Immune System starts attacking healthy cells. I don't think that's correct. So, what do I think? THAT is what this episode is all about. The cause, treatment and mechanism of action regarding autoimmune disorders. It's an episode that will certainly ruffle some feathers while also shedding some light on an interesting subject. Be sure to give it a good listen… especially if you, or someone you know, suffers with an autoimmune disorder.  And, as always, please share it with a friend.  Thanks!  ———————- Want to learn more?

I'm busting the biggest autoimmune myths with Dr. Cory Rice, who went from solving cold cases in forensics to solving the puzzle of autoimmune disease. This isn't your typical "manage your condition" conversation - we're talking about actual reversal and why these conditions aren't rare anymore (affecting 1 in 10 people!). Dr. Rice explains why 70% of your immune system lives in your gut, why women are disproportionately affected, and reveals his mandatory gut testing approach that's helping patients reclaim their lives. If you've been told there's no hope or you just need to "manage" your autoimmune condition, this episode will change your perspective completely.For the complete show notes, links and transcript visit inspiredliving.show/212

Osteoarthritis is the reason for 25% of primary care doctor visits and affects 80% of all adults over the age of 50.  In this episode, you'll find out:—How Osteoarthritis is more of a "wear and tear" form of Arthritis that deteriorates the joints, while Rheumatoid Arthritis is an Autoimmune Disease where the immune system attacks the joint.—The symptoms of Osteoarthritis.  And how some of the worst Osteoarthritis cases no longer have any pain, but can't move due to the increased stiffness.—The crucial importance of proper Chiropractic alignment to keep joints from wearing down.  And why you should even have your children checked annually.—The advanced X-Ray imaging used at Holistic Integration where X-Rays are read by one of the top Radiologists in the world.—Why the medical treatments for Osteoarthritis, like NSAID's and steroids, will actually destroy the joints and worsen the Osteoarthritis long-term.—How the Disease Care/Medical model says that Osteoarthritis is something that cannot be cured, but Structure-Function Care is actually able to reverse the deterioration. —The Decompression treatment that pumps the fluid and nutrition into the joints and can actually reverse the Osteoarthritis.—Why Dr. Prather says that Acupuncture is "absolutely great" for Osteoarthritis, which can provide immediate relief from the pain.—The many natural supplement options at Holistic Integration that are helpful for Osteoarthritis, which actually work better than the drugs and pharmaceuticals.  And the topical herbal liniments used at Holistic Integration that are "extremely effective" and "can make all the difference in the world".—Why a 5-day food rotation diet can be "a critical aspect of someone's care" with severe Osteoarthritis.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

The First Lady of Nutrition welcomes Lauren Vaknine, and for anyone living with rheumatoid arthritis, this is a story you won't want to miss. Diagnosed with juvenile RA just before her second birthday, Lauren was wheelchair-bound by 18 with every joint in her body locked. Most people would have lost hope—but not Lauren, and not her mother. Lauren's mom had already defied convention years earlier, saying no to steroids and choosing homeopathy instead. That decision opened the door to a lifetime of natural healing. At 21, Lauren had her own turning point: realizing her recovery was in her hands, she committed to rebuilding her health one choice at a time. Now, more than 11 years in remission, Lauren shares with Ann Louise the practices that made the difference—whole, organic foods instead of processed ones, key supplements like magnesium, cod liver oil, and black seed oil, and daily rituals with turmeric and frankincense that continue to keep her strong. From a child defined by illness to a global voice in holistic health, Lauren's message is both simple and powerful: the body knows how to heal when we give it what it needs.

"When my oncologist looked me in the eye and said there's nothing I could do for myself, I knew I had to find another way."In this episode I'm sharing Heather's incredible story of refusing conventional cancer treatment and choosing the metabolic approach instead. At 37, facing vulvar cancer, she declined surgery and radiation, implementing therapeutic ketogenic diet, high-dose IVs, and complete lifestyle transformation. Now cancer-free and helping others, she reveals why blood sugar dysfunction drives both autoimmunity and cancer, and the one test that shows metabolic health in 94% of people. We dive deep into how our biography influences our biology and practical steps you can take today to assess your own metabolic health.For the complete show notes, links and transcript visit inspiredliving.show/211

Blood flow restriction (BFR) training allows people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to build muscle, improve mobility, and reduce pain using very light resistance, avoiding the joint stress of heavy lifting Eccentric exercises — the slow “lowering” phase of movements — help increase muscle mass, lower blood pressure, reduce body fat, and restore daily function without triggering flare-ups In studies, RA patients who followed structured BFR or eccentric training programs reported higher strength, better endurance, and greater ease in performing everyday activities The Arthritis Foundation emphasizes gentle, consistent movement such as stretching, swimming, walking, and balance training as key to protecting joints and slowing disease progression Combining light-load eccentric exercise with BFR offers a safe, effective way to rebuild strength, stability, and independence while keeping inflammation and discomfort in check

In the midst of a season changing heater and what could be a historical collapse, we talk Guardian's Baseball and thisteam's ability to somehow own the Detroit Tigers. Social media is lightweight trash for a number of reasons but the fall of Facebook really irks Dan. Speaking of the right reverend, went to a local coin show. That means we talk currencycollecting and precious metals. Tee discusses why Rheumatoid Arthritis's name is doing it a disservice as well as birthday giveaways and some other stuff that he can't remember while he types up these notes.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Chrissy: Hi dr Cabral Is it ok to that estrogel and progesterone for menopause if you have lymphoedema ? Or will it make it worse .. kind regards Chrissy                                                                                                                                                    Kay: Hi Dr. Cabral- What are your thoughts on Metformin combined w Naltrexone topiramate and Vit B12 for Tx of PCOS? My 31 y.o. daughter has tried over the last few years to manage her PCOS w traditional Chinese herbs, acupuncture, yoga & pilates which have only given her limited success. Her HbA1c were in the pre-diabetic range. She lives in the NYC area w a demanding job. Now, working w a Functional Med provider, her tests showed high levels of cortisol throughout the day & hormonal imbalances. Weekend hikes & being near nature on occasion have helped her stress levels as shown by her Oura ring data. After about a month of the Rx regimen, she has noticed an improvement in her HbA1c and has hired a personal trainer. For true, sustainable wellness, what do you recommend?                                       Becky: Hi Dr. Cabral! Thank you for ALL that you do and thank you for using your story to help heal others! I am an IHP2 and need advice. I am working with a client, she is in her mid 30s and she has had horrific breath and overall dryness of her entire body since a child. Her dad and siblings have the same issues along with her oldest daughter. She has tried EVERY imaginable product to fix her breath with zero success. She has done the 21 day detox, & is finishing up the CBO Protocol with H.Pylori & will be starting the Finisher. She did a HTMA last year with someone else but nothing alarming. She is hopeless that her breath can't be fixed. What is your suggestion as to what direction we should go next? She does not drink filtered water, is on birth control & an anti depressant. THANKS!!!!            Kayley: I am 24 yrs old 5'2" 123lbs. I have diagnosed Rheumatoid Arthritis that has severely impacted my life. I currently take Methotrexate, Plaquenil, Folic Acid, and Folinic Acid. I am struggling with debilitating fatigue, and my IBS has recently flared up. Is there anything you would suggest doing to improve energy levels?                               Amanda: Does chiropractic treatment benefit children diagnosed with ADHD?     Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3509 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

On this episode of Vitality Radio, we continue our deep dive into systemic enzymes, building on the foundation laid in episodes #530 & 566. This time, the focus is on practical protocols that combine Fibrenza with key companions and targeted nutrient support for cardiovascular health, immune resilience, and recovery. You'll learn how systemic enzymes modulate the immune system for conditions like autoimmune disease and fibromyalgia, why pairing them with other supportive supplements can retrain immune balance and strengthen the gut lining at the root. Jared also shares cardiovascular strategies post-COVID — using Fibrenza with supplements that support nitric oxide, vessel flexibility, and inflammation balance. Finally, the discussion turns to exercise recovery, with protocols designed to accelerate healing, reduce soreness, and protect tendons and ligaments. This episode is about root cause solutions — supporting balance, reducing inflammatory debris, and nourishing the body so it can do what it was designed to do: heal and thrive.Products:Fibrenza Systemic EnzymeKyolic Moducare Daily Immune SupportVital 5 Precision Probiotic Vital SporesNatural Factors L-Glutamine PowderGet Well Stay WellN.O.
