Your immune system may not be malfunctioning — it may be doing exactly what it was designed to do. Gary Brecka joins Dr. Josh Axe to reveal why one root cause drives nearly every autoimmune condition, and what you can actually do about it.**In this episode:**- Why you likely don't have multiple autoimmune diseases — and the single upstream trigger (mold, mycotoxins, parasites, viruses, or heavy metals) that creates the domino effect- How the blood functions as a living ecosystem, and why "cleaning the tank" is the first step to healing chronic illness- The breathwork protocol Gary uses daily — no equipment, no cost — and the science behind intermittent hypoxia reversing biological age- What the X Prize longevity study found: 8.6 years of age reversal using oxygen training, less than halfway through the trial- Why sleep is the most underprotected lever in your health — and what community and connection do to lifespan that no supplement can replicate- The free, foundational habits Gary ranks above every biohacking device in his own home Uncover what's really going on in your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, thyroid, and metabolism— plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor! → http://mybloodwork.com*Disclaimer: The bloodwork our team runs at mybloodwork.com covers a handful of the biomarkers listed in the guide above — including critical thyroid and metabolic markers — plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor, but does NOT cover all 25.

The Journey to Becoming | Self Improvement, Productivity, Lower Stress
What if the extra weight, fatigue, stress, or other symptoms you're experiencing aren't the actual problem—but your body's way of telling you something deeper needs attention? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, I'm sitting down with Amber Swift, a Certified Integrative & Functional Nutrition Health Coach, to talk about what it really means to get to the root cause of your health instead of simply treating symptoms. Amber shares part of her own health journey and how years of chronic stress and trying the wrong approaches eventually forced her to slow down and prioritize her own health. We talk about why excess weight can be a symptom rather than the root problem, how stress impacts the body, and why taking a more holistic approach can help you finally understand what your body is trying to tell you. If you've been frustrated because you're doing “all the right things” but still don't feel your best, this conversation will help you look at your health through a completely different lens. In this episode, we talk about: Why excess weight can be a symptom of a deeper issue The importance of getting to the root cause of health challenges How chronic stress can impact your overall health Why more isn't always better when it comes to detoxing and wellness How to start listening to what your body is telling you Taking your health seriously without becoming obsessed with it What it can look like to approach wellness from a more holistic perspective If you're ready to stop chasing symptoms and start understanding your body on a deeper level, this episode is for you.
In this episode, Dr. Jockers sits down with neurologist and bestselling author Dr. David Perlmutter to explore microglia, the brain's immune cells, and the role they may play in protecting the brain from cognitive decline. You'll learn what can shift these cells from a supportive state toward one that promotes neuroinflammation. Discover why your metabolic health and brain health are deeply connected. Dr. Perlmutter explains how blood sugar, insulin resistance, gut health, and chronic inflammation can influence microglial function and why addressing these factors may be important long before memory problems appear. You'll also hear practical ways to support your brain through exercise, nutrition, sleep, metabolic flexibility, and other daily habits. Dr. Perlmutter shares why protecting your brain isn't just about what happens later in life—and how the choices you make today can help shape your cognitive future.

What if the things you're doing to improve your health are actually creating more demand than your body can handle? Exercise, fasting, cold plunges, sauna, breathwork, supplements, and other popular wellness practices can absolutely be beneficial. But a habit isn't automatically healthy just because it's labeled that way. In this episode of the Thyroid Answers Podcast, Dr. Eric Balcavage explains why the effectiveness of any health strategy depends on your current physiological state and your capacity to adapt to the stress it creates. Exercise is a stressor. Fasting is a stressor. Heat and cold exposure are stressors. Even increasing thyroid hormone can increase metabolic demand. When your body has adequate fuel, sleep, nutrients, recovery, and resilience, those stressors may help build capacity. But when you're already under-fueled, exhausted, overtrained, anxious, inflamed, or sleeping poorly, adding more "healthy" stress may reinforce the very protection signals you're trying to resolve. In this episode, you'll learn: Why a healthy habit is only healthy when you have the capacity to benefit from it The difference between demand and capacity and why it matters for thyroid physiology How exercise can either build resilience or contribute to depletion Why hormetic stressors like fasting, cold plunges, sauna, and HIIT aren't appropriate for everyone at every stage How stacking multiple wellness practices can quietly increase your total stress load Why increasing thyroid hormone can increase metabolic demand without necessarily improving recovery Signs that a health strategy may be exceeding your current capacity How to evaluate whether your exercise, fasting, supplements, recovery tools, or other protocols are actually helping A simple way to audit your current habits based on demand, capacity, dose, and recovery The goal isn't to label exercise, fasting, sauna, cold exposure, or any other tool as good or bad. The better question is: Does this tool match the current state of your body? If your energy, sleep, digestion, mood, body temperature, exercise recovery, and overall resilience are improving, your current strategies may be helping you build capacity. If you're becoming more tired, anxious, cold, sore, dependent on caffeine, or unable to recover, it may be time to reconsider the amount of demand you're placing on your physiology. Recovery isn't always about doing more. Sometimes it's about reducing the demand long enough for your body to rebuild the capacity to handle more.

A deep dive into the anatomy of deep healing. Often when we trigger we blame the messenger instead of looking at the wound that triggered the reaction in the first place. So the wound remains and we trigger over and over. Lets take a closer look at the wound itself and keep looking until we land on the contract, inner agreement, or decision we made (usually as children) to keep holding onto the burden, hurt, disappointment - and let it go.

On this episode, Jared welcomes functional nutritional therapy practitioner and blood chemistry specialist Shea Sallee for a fascinating conversation about what routine blood work may reveal beyond the standard lab report. Together, they explore the difference between conventional reference ranges and functional ranges, discuss important markers like fasting insulin, GGT, ALP, ferritin, and thyroid labs, and explain how nutrient imbalances can influence overall health and well-being. They also cover the role of symptoms, blood chemistry, hair analysis, and other functional assessments in building a more complete picture of health. If you've ever been told your labs are "normal" but still haven't felt your best, this episode offers practical insights into understanding your blood work from a broader perspective.Additional Information:Shea's Health & NutritionSheasHealth.com801-492-2723Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Your skin changes every week of the month — and your skincare routine has no idea.

Can eating "healthy" actually make your thyroid symptoms worse? In this episode, Dr. Eric Balcavage continues his series on rhythms and thyroid physiology by exploring one of the most overlooked aspects of thyroid recovery: the signals your eating patterns send to your body. Many people with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's focus on what they eat... cutting gluten, dairy, carbohydrates, or calories... in hopes of improving their thyroid health. But what if the bigger issue isn't food quality... it's whether your body feels consistently nourished? Dr. Eric explains why meal timing, energy availability, carbohydrate intake, and overall fueling patterns can significantly influence thyroid physiology. He also discusses why strategies like intermittent fasting, chronic calorie restriction, low-carb diets, and training in a fasted state may be helpful for some people—but may reinforce a protective, energy-conserving state in others. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your body responds to food availability, not just food quality How meal timing and consistent fueling influence thyroid physiology Why intermittent fasting isn't appropriate for everyone The difference between nourishing your body and signaling scarcity How chronic calorie restriction and under-fueling can affect metabolism and thyroid function Why carbohydrates aren't inherently "good" or "bad" - context matters How blood sugar stability is about more than avoiding glucose spikes A practical nutrition hierarchy for supporting thyroid recovery Questions to help you evaluate whether your current eating pattern is building capacity or creating more stress If you've been eating "clean," cutting calories, or following strict nutrition rules but still struggle with fatigue, brain fog, cold intolerance, poor recovery, or stubborn thyroid symptoms, this episode offers a different perspective on what your body may actually need.

What do you do when you're living with pain and symptoms, but your bloodwork and doctor's appointments aren't giving you the answers you're looking for?In this episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson, FDN-P, sits down with her client Bonnie, who originally came to Dee through a referral after struggling with pain and wanting a deeper understanding of what was happening inside her body.Like so many people, Bonnie had gone through traditional bloodwork and medical appointments, yet she still felt like pieces of her health puzzle were missing.Rather than continuing to guess, Bonnie decided to take a root-cause approach using functional lab testing.In this candid client conversation, Bonnie shares her personal experience of working with Dee, what she learned about her body through testing, the changes she implemented, and what happened as she began looking beyond symptoms and focusing on the bigger picture.You'll hear them discuss:• What brought Bonnie to functional health in the first place • The frustration of having symptoms without clear answers • Why “normal” conventional bloodwork doesn't necessarily tell the entire story • How functional testing can provide additional information about areas such as gut health, minerals, nutrition, inflammation, hormones, and environmental stressors • The importance of connecting lab findings with symptoms, lifestyle, and health history • Why personalized recommendations can look very different from a cookie-cutter wellness plan • What Bonnie learned about becoming an advocate for her own health • The changes she noticed throughout her journeyAnd there was an especially meaningful moment after we finished recording.Bonnie sent Dee a beautiful message thanking her for how much she had helped her.This is exactly why Dee does this work.It's not about chasing every symptom with another supplement.It's about helping people ask better questions, investigate potential underlying contributors, understand their bodies more deeply, and finally feel empowered to participate in their own health journey.If you've ever been told “everything looks normal” while knowing that you don't feel normal, Bonnie's story is an episode you'll want to hear.Hit play and hear Bonnie's journey in her own words.Schedule a discovery session with Board Certified Functional Health Practitioner, Dee Davidson:https://calendly.com/confidentlyloveyourself/discovery-session?back=1&month=2026-08Medical Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

The Root Cause of Addiction & the Path to Your Authentic Self | Pax PrentissWhat if addiction isn't the problem itself—but a symptom of something deeper?On this episode of The Healthy CEO, Jason Wright sits down with Pax Prentiss, co-founder and CEO of Passages Malibu and co-author of The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure.Pax's story is extraordinary. After struggling with heroin, cocaine, and alcohol addiction for nearly a decade, repeated attempts at traditional treatment failed to produce lasting sobriety. Eventually, Pax and his father began asking a different question:Why was he using in the first place?That question changed everything.Rather than focusing exclusively on managing addiction, Pax began addressing the underlying issues driving his substance use. That experience eventually became the foundation for Passages Malibu and its individualized, holistic approach to treatment.Jason and Pax explore addiction, recovery, mental health, family dynamics, physical wellness, and the growing normalization of substances in American culture. But the conversation ultimately becomes something even bigger: How do we stop escaping from our lives and become the healthiest, most authentic versions of ourselves?In This EpisodeJason and Pax discuss:Pax's personal journey from heroin addiction to more than two decades of sobrietyThe question his father asked that changed his recovery: "Why do you think you're using?"Why Pax believes addiction can be a symptom of deeper underlying conditionsDepression, anxiety, trauma, stress, insecurity, low self-esteem, and other factors that can contribute to substance useWhy treating the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—is central to the Passages philosophyHow individualized therapy differs from traditional group-based treatmentWhy escaping uncomfortable emotions can prevent real healingThe importance of confronting problems rather than continually numbing themMarijuana, today's higher-potency products, and Pax's concerns about normalization of recreational drug useKetamine therapy and the addiction cases Pax says he is increasingly encounteringPsychedelic-assisted approaches to trauma and why Pax personally favors clear-headed, individualized therapyHow families can recognize when helping has crossed the line into enablingWhen families should consider working with a professional interventionistWhy recovery doesn't end when someone leaves a treatment centerThe importance of aftercare and creating a healthy home environmentWhy family members may need to change their own relationship with alcohol when someone returns from treatmentThe example parents set for their children around drinking, marijuana, and other substancesWhy Jason and Pax both believe an alcohol-free lifestyle can be transformativeSleep, nutrition, exercise, mental clarity, and their role in rebuilding a healthy lifeIdentity-based habits and becoming the person you actually want to beWhy recovery isn't about creating a new person—it's about rediscovering the person underneath the addictionThe Bigger Idea: Becoming Your Authentic SelfOne of the most powerful themes of the conversation is that recovery isn't simply about removing drugs or alcohol.It's about rebuilding a life.Pax describes a whole-person approach that addresses psychological, physical, relational, and spiritual health. The objective isn't simply sobriety. It's helping someone rediscover who they are without the substance—and begin moving toward the healthiest version of that person.Jason connects this philosophy to his own pursuit of health and personal development: the idea that genuine wellness can't be one-dimensional.Physical health matters.Mental clarity matters.Relationships matter.Purpose matters.Spiritual health matters.And the environments and habits we build around ourselves matter.Ultimately, the goal is not perfection.It's continuing to move toward your authentic self.About Pax PrentissPax Prentiss is the co-founder and CEO of Passages Malibu. His own experience with addiction and recovery inspired the creation of an individualized treatment model focused on identifying and addressing underlying conditions associated with substance use.Passages opened in 2001 and uses a multidisciplinary approach involving medical, clinical, therapeutic, physical, and spiritual components of recovery.Pax is also the co-author of The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure and says Passages has helped more than 40,000 people pursue sobriety and recovery.Need Help?Pax personally continues to speak with individuals and families seeking treatment and takes admission calls for Passages.Passages Admissions: 310-589-2880Passages operates locations in Malibu and Ventura, California. Pax explains in the episode that the Ventura location works in-network with many insurance plans, while insurance may also contribute toward treatment at the Malibu location.If you or someone you love is struggling with substance use, seek qualified professional help. Treatment decisions should be made with appropriate medical and mental-health professionals.Authentic HealthRecovery and long-term wellness involve more than removing unhealthy behaviors.

You started the summer with a question. Now you have a longer list of root causes and the exact same question you had in May. Which one am I supposed to do something about first? That is not an information problem. It is a sorting problem. In this episode, Esther goes back through the summer root cause series and sorts every topic covered into one of two buckets using the Hashimoto's thyroid or immune framework. Each one gets sorted out loud so you can see how the filter actually works when you apply it to real information, including the one topic that landed in both buckets and changed how she thinks about minerals. In this episode, you'll learn: Why vitamin D belongs in the immune bucket even though it matters for every cell in your body Why the hair mineral test lands in both buckets, and what changed Esther's mind about it How to take 25 saved screenshots and sort them down to one next step Hit play and get a filter for everything you already know.

What does it actually mean to practice naturopathy through the lens of Terrain Theory?In this episode, we sit down with terrain-forward naturopath Nicky Leach to explore a model of health that looks beyond diagnoses, protocols, and symptom management. Rather than asking, "What's the treatment?" Nicky asks a different question: "What conditions allowed this to happen in the first place?"We discuss why purpose, community, and the stories we tell ourselves may shape our health just as much as food or environmental exposures. Nicky shares his approach to helping clients uncover root causes, why he believes principles are more valuable than protocols, and how fear, identity, and the pursuit of healing itself can sometimes become obstacles to real progress.Along the way, we explore intellectual humility within the terrain movement, the importance of remaining open to new ideas, raising children without fear, and why the most meaningful transformation often begins with a shift in perspective rather than a new supplement or intervention.Learn more about Nicky and his work at https://knowthyhealing.com and follow him on Instagram and TikTok @itsnickyleach.Support Terrain Theory on Patreon!

We are the first generation living with this level of constant connectivity, food abundance, chronic stimulation, and convenience. And our hormones, which were designed for a very different environment, are doing their best to adapt. In this episode we explore how modern life creates an enormous physiological load on the female body and why understanding that context changes everything about how women with PCOS approach their healing.Stress Physiology and the Modern Female Nervous SystemThe female nervous system was designed for a rhythm of activation and recovery. Modern life has largely eliminated the recovery end of that rhythm. In this episode we explore how chronic low-grade stimulation keeps cortisol elevated, what that means for PCOS hormone health, and why so many capable, motivated women still feel like they are struggling despite doing everything right.Overstimulation and Hormones: What Constant Connectivity Is Doing to PCOSFrom social media to news cycles to work communication that extends into evenings and weekends, modern women are navigating an environment of near-continuous stimulation. In this episode we explain the direct connection between overstimulation, cortisol elevation, and PCOS symptoms including cycle disruption, cravings, exhaustion, and mood changes.Food Environment and Metabolism: Why Blood Sugar Was Not Designed for 2026The food environment of 2026, with its hyper-palatable, calorie-dense, constantly available options, creates a metabolic context that the human insulin response was never designed for. In this episode we explore how food abundance affects insulin signaling and PCOS hormone health and why cravings are a physiology problem rather than a willpower problem.Nervous System Load and PCOS: The Missing ConversationWomen are carrying an enormous mental, emotional, and physiological load in modern life. And that load has direct consequences for PCOS hormones through the nervous system and stress physiology connection. In this episode we name what women are actually navigating and offer a compassionate, empowering reframe that removes blame and creates clarity.Movement and Modern Routines: What Has Quietly DisappearedModern convenience has largely eliminated the incidental movement that used to be built into daily human life. And that reduction in consistent, low-level movement has real consequences for metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and cortisol regulation. In this episode we explore what has changed and what genuinely sustainable movement support actually looks like inside a modern lifestyle.Hormone Support in Real Life: Creating a More Supportive Environment Without FearThe goal of this episode is not to create fear about modern life but to create awareness and opportunity for intentional, supportive adaptation. In this episode we discuss what creating a more hormone-supportive environment actually looks like inside real modern life, without perfection, without rigidity, and without adding more pressure to an already full plate.You can take the quiz to discover your root cause hereLearn more about the PCOS Root Cause BootcampLet's continue the conversation on Instagram!

Episode Description: The way that you breathe actually shapes the way that your face grows. And if your child is sleeping with their mouth open, that is not cute. That is a warning sign. Dr. Nora Zaghi is an airway focused biological pediatric dentist and one of the leading practitioners in sleep disordered breathing. This conversation connects dots that most people have never had connected for them. Mouth breathing, tongue ties, crowded jaws, ADHD, anxiety, dark circles under the eyes, restless sleep, and even the way a child walks. It is all coming from the same root. And for adults who have been living with this their entire lives without knowing it, there are still solutions. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why where your tongue rests in your mouth determines how your jaw and face develop, and why children who mouth breathe grow downward and backward instead of forward and wide • How a tongue tie creates tension through the entire deep front line of the body from the base of the tongue all the way to the toes, and why releasing it has caused patients to cry, stand straighter, speak more confidently, and walk normally for the first time • The root cause connection between a restrictive tongue, jaw clenching and grinding, and chronic anxiety, and the simple at home test you can do right now to check your own tongue mobility This episode is for every parent, every adult who was told they had ADHD or anxiety, and everyone who has been mouth breathing their whole life without knowing there was a name for it.

Becoming a successful health coach isn't about finding a single supplement or protocol that can fix every problem. It's about empowering clients to make sustainable changes that support their health for life. When practitioners focus on lifestyle, root causes, accountability, and personalized care, they can help clients create meaningful improvements that go far beyond temporary symptom relief. On today's episode, Dr. Alexia Soteropoulos shares her journey from conventional medical training to becoming an Integrative Health Practitioner after experiencing firsthand the limitations of a symptom-focused approach to healthcare. She explains how her own struggles with unexplained health issues led her to discover functional and integrative medicine and ultimately inspired her to combine her medical training with a more holistic approach to helping others. We discuss why lifestyle habits are the foundation of long-term health, the importance of addressing sleep, stress, nutrition, and circadian health, and how supplements and other therapies can support the body without replacing the fundamentals. Alexia also shares how functional lab testing can help uncover underlying imbalances, validate the experiences of clients who have been told their symptoms are "normal," and create a more personalized approach to care. To learn more about how functional health, personalized coaching, and lifestyle changes can help clients address root causes and create lasting results, tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 449. - - - Listen or Watch At: IHP.Coach/449 - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org
Is migraine really a neurological disease—or could your neck be the missing piece?In this episode of the Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves challenges one of the most common beliefs about migraines.

Could a horse that bites during handling and another that rushes under saddle actually be struggling with the same underlying issue?

What You'll Learn in This Episode:In this episode, Shayne Daughenbaugh sits down with Seamus Maguire to explore one of the biggest reasons problem-solving fails, even in organizations with experienced people and proven Lean tools. Drawing from his new book, Finding Fact Before Fixing, Seamus explains how cognitive biases, assumptions, and the pressure to find quick answers often lead teams to solve the wrong problem.The conversation explores why hypothesis testing and experimentation should be at the center of every problem-solving effort, how leaders can ask better questions to uncover true root causes, and why collecting the right data is more important than simply collecting more data. Seamus also shares practical ways to challenge assumptions, use the scientific method in everyday problem-solving, and create a culture where teams focus on finding facts before implementing fixes.

What happens when conventional medicine can't provide answers? In this episode, Dr. Aaron Hartman, triple board-certified physician and founder of Richmond Integrative & Functional Medicine, shares how he helps patients navigate complex, multi-system illnesses that often defy standard diagnostic approaches. Author of UnCURABLE: From Hopeless Diagnosis to Defying All Odds, Dr. Hartman draws from over two decades of experience in family, integrative, and functional medicine. His work focuses on chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, dysautonomia, chronic fatigue, environmental exposures, and other conditions that frequently fall outside the scope of traditional care.

Send us Fan MailA composite of so many women Kacey has worked with — the one who looks, on paper, like she's doing everything right. Organic groceries. No alcohol. No seed oils. A small roster of "safe" foods she rotates through. A cabinet of supplements. A constant background calculation about whether what she's doing is the right thing.And underneath it: an irregular cycle, low energy, low mood, constant anxiety, and labs that show a body running on empty.In this episode, Kacey names the pattern most practitioners won't — that root cause healing can become a problem of its own, that "clean eating" can become a cage, and that the wellness industry has trained a generation of high-functioning women into a low-grade eating disorder nobody is calling an eating disorder because the food is organic.Plus: what this looks like in actual hormone, thyroid, mineral, and gut labs. Why the behaviors change faster than the anxiety underneath them. And why the gray — not the black or white — is where the real answer lives.If this landed and you're ready to actually look at what's happening in your body: DM the word FMLABS to @simplyhealthywellness on Instagram.

Some days you just feel off. Not sad about anything specific, not anxious about anything specific, just heavy, distracted, or grumpy for no reason you can name. If you have ever wondered whether tapping when you feel off actually works when you cannot pinpoint a cause, the answer is yes, and there is a specific order that makes it work well. TL;DR / Key Takeaways Tapping when you feel off does not require knowing the root cause of the feeling before you start. A four step sequence, wordless tapping, witness tapping, tapping on not knowing why, and tapping on not needing to know why to heal, addresses the emotion directly. Wordless tapping, also called content free tapping, changes your body's biochemistry through the tapping points without naming an issue. Witness tapping works because fully articulated emotions are short lived, meaning simply describing what you feel out loud often reduces its intensity. Three rounds of tapping (three to five taps per point) takes about 45 seconds, making this practical to use anywhere. Why Do I Feel Off Without Knowing Why? Feeling emotionally off without a clear trigger happens because emotions are stored in the body as biochemistry, not just as conscious thoughts you can trace back to a cause. In my 17 years of working with clients and my own daily tapping practice, this is one of the most common situations people bring to me. It shows up as heaviness, distraction, low mood, or a general sense that everything feels harder than it should. This is closely related to tapping for vague emotions you cannot clearly identify, where the challenge is not the tapping itself but naming what you are actually feeling. The instinct in these moments is to stop and figure out why before doing anything about it. That instinct is understandable, but it is also the thing that keeps people stuck longest. You do not need to diagnose the cause before you can start changing how you feel. This is exactly the situation the four step process below is built for. It works whether you eventually understand the reason behind the emotion or you never do. What Is Wordless Tapping (Content Free Tapping)? Wordless tapping is a technique where you tap through the acupressure points without speaking, without naming an issue, and without trying to identify a root cause. The technical term for this is content free intervention. Key insight: "By stimulating these tapping points on our body, we're actually able to start changing our biochemistry. That emotion you're feeling, that heaviness, that overwhelm, is the biochemistry of that emotion." Because the emotion itself is biochemical, you do not need words or insight to begin shifting it. You are working directly with the physical layer of the feeling, moving from tapping point to tapping point while whatever is going on continues to run in the background. This matters for anyone new to tapping for anxiety, low mood, or unexplained heaviness, because it removes the barrier of needing the right words or the right insight before you are allowed to start. If you want more ways to use content free tapping beyond this single situation, there are several other applications worth exploring. Step 1: Start With Wordless Tapping to Shift Your Biochemistry The first step in this process is to tap through the points silently for three to five rounds without naming what you are feeling. This changes your biochemical state before you attempt anything else. A simple way to do this is to set a timer, or to commit to three rounds of tapping, using three to five taps on each point as you move from point to point. Three rounds takes about 45 seconds. Four rounds takes about a minute. There is no issue to identify and no phrase to repeat, which makes this the easiest entry point into a tapping session when you feel off. This same principle shows up in releasing a hidden tapping agenda, where letting go of the need to control the outcome of a session tends to produce better results. Starting here also lowers the pressure of the moment. You are not required to understand anything yet. You are simply giving your nervous system a chance to settle before you move into naming what is happening, which is the focus of step two. Step 2: Use Witness Tapping to Name What You're Feeling Witness tapping means describing exactly what you are experiencing in the moment, without analysis or judgment, the same way an eyewitness describes only what they directly observed. Key insight: "Fully articulated emotions are short lived. Our emotions are just trying to get our attention, and oftentimes simply giving them voice is enough to start tuning them down." In practice, this sounds like tapping while saying something as simple as, I feel really grumpy, and it is heavy in my body, and I do not know why I feel grumpy. You are not explaining the emotion or justifying it. You are only witnessing it, the way a witness in court reports what they saw without interpreting it. It is worth knowing that most of us are a fairly unreliable witness to our own experience, which is exactly why simply reporting the feeling, rather than analyzing it, works better than trying to get the story perfectly right. This step often does two things at once. First, naming the feeling out loud tends to reduce its intensity almost immediately. Second, new information sometimes surfaces on its own, such as realizing a canceled plan was actually weighing on you more than you had noticed. That insight is a welcome bonus, not a requirement for the process to work. Step 3: Tap on the Fact That It's Okay Not to Know Why The third step is to tap directly on the discomfort of not having an explanation, acknowledging that it is okay not to know why you feel this way. This step targets a specific emotion that hides underneath the original feeling, which is the frustration or disappointment of not having a root cause. Something like, even though I do not know why I feel this way, I give myself permission to simply acknowledge it, addresses that layer directly. Tapping on this usually produces relief almost immediately, because you are no longer fighting the fact that you cannot explain your own emotional state. And as with step two, sometimes tapping on the frustration of not knowing clears space for new insight to surface, though it is not guaranteed and is not the point. Step 4: Tap on Not Needing to Know Why in Order to Heal The fourth step is to tap on the idea that you do not need to know why you feel this way in order to heal from it or move through it. Key insight: "It is possible for me to heal, to transform, to release all of this without having to know why I am this way." This step is subtly different from step three. Step three addresses the desire for knowledge and understanding. Step four addresses the fear that not having that knowledge will block your healing. Separating these two ideas rather than tapping on them as one statement creates more clarity, because you are releasing two distinct beliefs rather than one blended one. In my own practice, I find this is the step that gives people the most permission to stop searching for an explanation and simply let the tapping work. You can always revisit the reason later if it becomes relevant. It does not need to arrive on any particular schedule. Do You Need to Find the Root Cause for Tapping When You Feel Off? No, you do not need to identify a root cause before tapping when you feel off can help you feel better. The four step process above is designed to work with or without that information. Sometimes tapping through these four steps will surface the underlying reason for a mood, like realizing a disappointment you had not consciously registered. Other times you will simply feel better without ever knowing exactly why you felt off in the first place. Both outcomes are considered a success with this approach. This distinction matters because many people delay tapping until they feel they have figured themselves out first. Waiting for full understanding before taking action is one of the most common reasons people stay stuck in a low mood longer than necessary, a point explored further in why you don't need to know why you are the way you are. How to Put the Four Steps Together in Your Own Practice The complete sequence is wordless tapping, witness tapping, tapping on it being okay not to know why, and tapping on not needing to know why in order to heal. You can move through all four steps in a single sitting, typically in just a few minutes total. Start with three rounds of silent tapping, move into witnessing what you feel out loud, then tap on the two reframes in steps three and four. There is no requirement to rush toward insight at any point in the sequence. If you are new to tapping altogether, a free guide with video and written instructions is available at LearnToTap.com. If you already have some tapping experience and want to go deeper with a related struggle, a ten part guide on using tapping to work through self sabotage is available at TappingQnA.com. Frequently Asked Questions What is wordless tapping in EFT? Wordless tapping, also called content free tapping, is tapping through the acupressure points without speaking or naming an issue. It works by shifting your body's biochemistry directly, which is useful when you feel off but cannot identify a specific cause. Why does naming an emotion out loud make it feel less intense? Fully articulated emotions tend to be short lived because emotions are signals meant to get your attention. Once you give a feeling clear voice through witness tapping, the signal has been received and often begins to settle on its own. Do I have to know why I feel bad before tapping will work? No. This four step process is built specifically for situations where you do not know the cause of your mood. You can tap on the feeling itself, and understanding may or may not arrive along the way. How long does a round of tapping take? Three rounds of tapping, using three to five taps per point, takes about 45 seconds. Four rounds takes about a minute, which makes this practical to fit into a busy day. What is witness tapping? Witness tapping is describing exactly what you are feeling in the moment, without analysis or judgment, similar to how an eyewitness reports only what they directly observed. When should I use this four step process instead of tapping on a specific issue? Use this process when you feel an emotion, such as heaviness, distraction, or a low mood, but cannot trace it to a specific event or thought. If you already know exactly what you are upset about, you can tap directly on that issue instead.

Ted's testosterone was almost 200 — 198 to be exact — and he looked healthy on the outside. Muscle, working out, doing the podcast. On the inside his hormone floor was gone. Then he did the work Mark Holman coaches men through, and now he's at 800. No TRT. All natural. Mark Holman is a mental/physical health and testosterone optimization coach. Creator of the Unchained program (formerly Revival) and the 5-Day High-T Leadership Challenge. He was on the Modern Man Podcast before — this is Round 2. He's since moved his own total T to 1,100, doubled his free testosterone, broke his own income barrier, and met the woman he's now marrying. In this conversation, Mark and Ted go deep on why "normal" testosterone is a lie (74% of Americans are overweight — that's the population setting the normal range), Mark's named diagnostic concept — the Health Handbrakes — that a standard blood panel won't reveal, why TRT is like winning the lottery (no process, no struggle, and you're on it for life), the free-T-vs-SHBG conversation most doctors skip, the sniper-vs-shotgun reframe for supplements (and the Tongkat Ali standardization rule most brands hide), and the leadership-testosterone connection — why lower T makes you more risk-averse and quietly shrinks your ambition. Plus: Ted's own before/after receipts (198 → 800 natural), the University of Chicago sleep study that showed a 5-hour night drops testosterone 10-15% in one week, the 2007 JCEM data showing modern men's T is generationally lower than their fathers' generation at the same age, and Mark's closer on the nice-guy generational curse he inherited from his father and broke. If you're a high-performing man between 25 and 55 with a "normal" blood panel and a feeling something's off — this one's for you. Key insights from this episode: Testosterone as an on-demand hormone (not a fixed number) Why "normal T ranges" are a lie (74% of Americans set that baseline) The Health Handbrakes: the root causes of low T that a standard panel misses The Unchained standard: 700 total testosterone is the floor, not the ceiling Free T + SHBG: why total T alone lies to you TRT is like winning the lottery: no process, no struggle, and you're on it for life Sniper vs. Shotgun supplementation (and the Tongkat Ali 2% eurycomanone rule) The testosterone-leadership connection: why low T makes you risk-averse Ted's before/after receipts: 198 to 800 natural in 18 months Mark's N=1 story: 1,100 total T, doubled free T, wife met, business broke through Chapters: 00:00 The confession — my T was 198 02:04 What's Changed About Testosterone? 04:25 Can You Naturally Increase Testosterone? 05:47 Why "Normal" Blood Work Isn't Enough 08:36 The Testosterone Range Doctors Miss 10:00 Ted's Testosterone: 198 → 800 Naturally 11:57 What to Do If Your Doctor Says You're "Normal" 14:20 Can You Come Off TRT? 15:42 TRT vs. Fixing the Root Cause 17:58 Stress, Sleep & Free Testosterone 20:15 When Is TRT Actually Necessary? 23:04 Why Men's Testosterone Keeps Declining 25:42 The Truth About Testosterone Supplements 29:43 Zinc, Vitamin D & Deficiencies Explained 30:36 Why Most T Boosters Don't Work 33:22 The Hidden Cost of Low Testosterone 36:42 Testosterone, Leadership & Confidence 39:22 Does Sunlight on Your Balls Work? 40:23 Mark's Results: 1,100 Testosterone 45:14 Health, Wealth & Love 45:47 Free Blood Work Analysis 46:47 The Lesson That Changed Mark's Life 49:09 Ted's Biggest Takeaways Connect with Mark Holman: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markholmanhealth/ Free Master Class: https://go.markholmanfitness.com/testosteronemasterclass Linktree: https://linktr.ee/Markholmanhealth

Together, we explore how environmental toxins, infections, trauma, gut health, and cellular resilience all influence the body's ability to heal and what clinicians can do to better support lasting recovery.We dive into:Cell danger response and its role in chronic illnessHow mold toxins disrupt mitochondria, cell membranes, and energy productionWhy emotional trauma and chronic stress can drive immune dysfunctionThe connection between mold illness, gut health, and the microbiomeWhy some patients react poorly to glutathione, binders, and traditional detox protocolsAdvanced testing for mold illness, inflammation, and mitochondrial healthThe importance of supporting drainage pathways before detoxificationHow mycotoxins contribute to brain fog, fatigue, and neuroinflammationPractical strategies for addressing chronic mold exposure and supporting cellular healingWhy a personalized, root-cause approach leads to better long-term outcomes
What if cancer isn't just about mutated cells, but about a garden that's gone untended for years?In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Dr. Yi Song, a pathologist trained at Brown University who comes from generations of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, to talk about why she walked away from conventional cancer research and built a practice around treating the root cause instead of chasing symptoms. They cover why standard lab work often misses what's actually happening inside the body, the six principles behind her book The Regeneration Effect: Sacred Wisdom for Staying Young, and why she believes stem cell therapy works best as early prevention rather than a last resort.The conversation moves between hard science and ancient wisdom, from oxidative stress and DNA damage to meridians, natural rhythm, and the kidney's role as the body's energetic reserve. If you're curious about a different way to think about aging, chronic disease, and what healing actually requires, this one is worth the full listen.Key Takeaways:0:00 Introduction1:15 From generations of Chinese medicine to a pathology PhD at Brown6:21 Why pathology treats symptoms instead of the root cause of cancer9:49 What disease really means before your labs ever catch it13:29 Western medicine digs the well after the fire has already started22:05 The six principles behind The Regeneration Effect35:22 Stem cells as firewood for your body's aging fire38:21 Cancer as the best gift: your garden full of weeds Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902Resources:The Regeneration Effect: Sacred Wisdom for Staying Young (pre-order) - https://book.regenerationeffect.comFree e-book, Tending Your Body Like a Garden - https://gift.regenerationeffect.com Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Dr. Tony Jimenez, integrative oncology physician and founder of Hope4Cancer. Dr. Tony shares the personal story that pulled him from a surgical track into integrative cancer care, starting with his own father's diagnosis. He explains why he believes the vast majority of cancers are epigenetic rather than genetic, and walks through the root causes he looks to remove first, from nutrition and sleep to chronic stress and unresolved emotional trauma. They cover his seven key principles of healing, the role of the immune system and the microbiome, oxygenation, and why he treats the spiritual and emotional layers before the physical. The conversation closes on prevention, proactive full-body scanning, and his belief that fear, not cancer, is the real enemy.If you want to go DEEPER with me, my Substack is where I share even more behind-the-scenes, personal reflections, and wellness experiments, with new posts dropping every Thursday: https://substack.com/@thewellnessprocessFollow Dr. Tony Jimenez and Hope4Cancer:Website: https://hope4cancer.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hope4cancermexico/?hl=enFollow us:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessprocesspodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewellnessprocessYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheWellnessProcessSponsored:Visit carawayhome.com/TWP10 or use code TWP10 at checkout to take an additional 10% off your next purchase Try Jolie risk free for 60 days by going to jolieskinco.com/TWPSecure 10% off for life and begin your intentional wind-down journey today at piquelife.com/wellnessUse coupon code TWP to save 15% at boncharge.comGet $20 off the Waver Vibration Plate plus free shipping with code TWP at lifeprofitness.comProduced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Mitochondrial testing has become increasingly popular for people dealing with fatigue, hypothyroidism, chronic illness, brain fog, and low energy. But what does an abnormal mitochondrial test actually tell you? In this episode of the Thyroid Answers Podcast, Dr. Eric Balcavage explains why abnormal mitochondrial markers should never be viewed in isolation. While testing may show that mitochondrial function is reduced, it does not automatically explain why. Dr. Eric discusses why low Complex I, Complex IV, altered organic acids, abnormal acylcarnitines, or other mitochondrial findings are not necessarily signs of nutrient deficiencies or "broken" mitochondria. Instead, these changes may reflect inflammation, immune activation, poor oxygen delivery, thyroid physiology, under-fueling, toxin exposure, or even an adaptive response designed to protect the body. You'll also learn why standard laboratory testing and clinical history often provide critical context that advanced mitochondrial testing alone cannot, and why interpreting results through the lens of physiology—not just lab values—is essential. If you've been told you have "mitochondrial dysfunction" or you're considering mitochondrial testing, this episode will help you better understand what these tests can—and cannot—tell you. In this episode, you'll learn: Why a mitochondrial test result is not the same as a diagnosis What common mitochondrial tests actually measure The difference between identifying a problem and understanding its cause Why a mitochondrial bottleneck isn't always caused by a nutrient deficiency How inflammation, immune activation, thyroid signaling, oxygen delivery, and stress physiology can influence mitochondrial function What standard lab work can reveal about mitochondrial physiology When advanced mitochondrial testing may be helpful—and when it can be misleading Why two people with the same mitochondrial test results may require completely different treatment strategies How State-Based Medicine™ changes the way mitochondrial testing is interpreted If you've ever wondered whether your mitochondria are truly "broken" or whether your body is intentionally slowing energy production as a protective response, this episode provides a different way to think about mitochondrial health.

Cortisol is your primary stress hormone and for women with PCOS it affects far more than stress levels alone. In this episode we break down exactly what chronically elevated cortisol does to energy, cravings, cycle regularity, sleep quality, and weight regulation, and why managing cortisol is one of the most important and most overlooked aspects of PCOS hormone health.Stress Physiology and Female Hormones: The Connection Worth UnderstandingYour stress response system and your reproductive hormone system are not separate. They are in constant communication. When stress physiology is chronically activated, the downstream effects on PCOS symptoms are significant and far-reaching. This episode explains that connection in clear, accessible language that actually helps women understand what their body is doing and why.The Nervous System and Metabolism: The Missing Piece in PCOS HealingYour nervous system directly influences your metabolism. When it is in chronic stress mode, your body prioritises survival over hormone production, digestion, immune regulation, and cellular repair. This episode explores why nervous system health is one of the most important and most underappreciated foundations of PCOS healing.Wired but Tired: The PCOS Experience ExplainedThe wired but tired experience, exhausted all day but unable to sleep at night, is one of the most commonly described experiences in women with PCOS. In this episode we explain exactly what is happening physiologically, including the cortisol rhythm disruption behind it, and what actually helps shift this pattern over time.Exhaustion and Hormone Signaling: Why Tiredness Is Not a Character FlawMany women with PCOS blame themselves for their exhaustion. This episode reframes exhaustion as a physiological signal rather than a personal failing, validating the experience of chronic tiredness and offering a clear, compassionate explanation for what the body is actually communicating.Sleep and Metabolism: Why Rest Is a Hormone ToolSleep is one of the most active and productive things a PCOS body can do. During deep, restorative sleep the body regulates cortisol, balances blood sugar, produces key hormones, and repairs tissue. In this episode we explore the direct impact of sleep disruption on PCOS symptoms and why prioritising sleep quality is one of the highest-leverage things women can do for their hormone health.Recovery and Cycle Health: Why Rest Supports Hormonal HealingRecovery is not passive. It is an active and essential part of hormone support for women with PCOS. This episode covers the practical recovery habits that genuinely support cortisol balance, nervous system health, and cycle regularity, including magnesium, morning sunlight, gentle movement, hydration, and reducing evening overstimulation.Modern Stress and Female Hormones: Why PCOS Is on the RiseModern life creates a level of constant stimulation and stress that the female nervous system was not designed to sustain. This episode acknowledges the very real environmental and cultural pressures women are navigating and frames PCOS exhaustion within that broader context so women can stop blaming themselves and start understanding what their body actually needs.You can take the quiz to discover your root cause hereGet your FREE PCOS Supplement Guide Let's continue the conversation on Instagram!

In this episode of the Thyroid Answers Podcast, Dr. Eric Balcavage welcomes back functional medicine health coach, chef, and cookbook author Ginny Mahar to discuss the role nutrition, stress, and lifestyle play in supporting thyroid physiology and long-term health. Ginny shares her personal journey from being diagnosed with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's to discovering how food, lifestyle, and root-cause focused care transformed her health after years of being told everything was "normal." Together, she and Dr. Balcavage discuss why nutrition matters, why restrictive diets aren't the answer for everyone, and how many people with hypothyroidism may actually be under-fueling and over-stressing their bodies. The conversation explores the importance of whole-food nutrition, nervous system regulation, sleep, movement, mindset, and sustainable habits while explaining why healing isn't about finding the perfect diet but about creating the physiologic capacity to recover. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why food and lifestyle can play an important role in supporting thyroid physiology and overall health Ginny Mahar's personal journey with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's and what helped her reclaim her energy Why many people with hypothyroidism are under-fueling while simultaneously over-exercising How chronic stress, poor sleep, and nervous system dysregulation can influence thyroid function and recovery Why whole-food nutrition is more important than chasing the latest diet trend The difference between using elimination diets as temporary tools versus long-term restrictive eating Common myths about thyroid nutrition, including misconceptions surrounding gluten, dairy, goitrogenic foods, and anti-inflammatory eating Why building sustainable habits often produces better long-term results than searching for the "perfect" protocol How Dr. Balcavage's physiology-first approach complements nutrition by focusing on reducing physiologic load and rebuilding resilience About Ginny: Ginny Mahar, FMCHC, is the author of The THYROID30 Cookbook: A 30-Day Plan and 100 Delicious Recipes to Restore Your Energy and Help You Thrive. A Functional Medicine Health Coach and classically trained chef, she helps women with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's create sustainable, thyroid-friendly routines through food, lifestyle, and practical whole-health support. After her own Hashimoto's diagnosis in 2015, she founded Hypothyroid Chef and developed THYROID30, her signature wellness framework.

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… Shannon: I am curious what your take on headaches that stem in your neck and the base of the skull called cervicogenic headaches. What's the root cause of that type of muscle tension headache? I've struggled with them for a couple years now. I'm working with a practitioner and have tested for candida and am on the CBO protocol currently. We're getting ready to test for hormone imbalances next week but I'm fairly sure I have Imbalances. I have heavy cycles and low iron as well with the headaches being mainly the first weekish of the cycle. Jason: Hello Dr. Cabral, I've dealt with tonsil stones and hemmrhoids for quite some time. I know I have sibo, dysbiosis, and some yeast/fungal overgrowth. Working on those as well. Wondering if you can explain why these are happening and what I can do for them apart from the CBO. Thanks! Emily: My MIL has high levels of Lipoprotien(a) 232. Her LDL levels are in a good range. She is currenly taking the statin Crestor which is hydrophilic. The RYR is a more natural form but seems to be a lipophilic statin. Her worry is that lipophilic statins crosses the blood brain barrier. Could you please explain this and if this should be of great concern? Would it be better for someone to take a hydrophilic statin vs RYR? Dana: Asked this on the Facebook page and was advised to ask here. My husband and I are currently doing CBO protocol. Before starting that my husband started getting unusually exhausted after moderate exercise, 50 years old and has always been active, no known health issues. Moderate activity now wipes him out for the rest of the day, this is unusual for him. Recently went to PCP who did blood work and found ALP levels over 450, tested again to rule out lab error and it was about 10 points higher. Has had heart ultrasound and stress test, both normal. Will be getting abdominal ultrasound next week to check liver, etc. If ok, probably bones next. Wondering if CBO protocol dieoff could contribute to high ALP? Live in a country where we can't do mail lab testing. Advice on what else to check for? Brent: Hi Dr. Cabral, I ran labs years ago and was recommended the cbo with C drops and finisher. Labs showed no parasites at that time. During the cbo i started to see some progress in my digestion and other areas but once I started month 3 I started to notice acid reflux symptoms like a swollen throat and shortness of breath that worsened at night. (symptoms I've had for many years that returned). I thought it was because of changes to my gut microbiome and continued on to the cbo finisher and the problems only got worse to the point that I had to stop the protocols. I can only assume that somewhere along the line due to stress or poor food combining or not eating strict enough that I ended up causing sibo while trying to fix it. Can't think of any other reasons for my situation. Plz help ty.

Carnivore Diet, Cholesterol, Gut Bacteria, Microbiome, and Fasting Insulin Results from a 90-Day Self-Experiment What if cutting out fiber entirely actually improved your gut bacteria? This episode breaks down a real 90-day carnivore self-experiment, complete with before and after blood work, stool testing, and continuous glucose data, that challenges everything you think you know about fiber, cholesterol, and metabolic health. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Ben Azadi, founder of Keto Kamp and bestselling author of Metabolic Freedom. After overcoming obesity and severe health challenges, Ben has spent years educating millions of people on metabolic health, fasting, ketosis, and biohacking strategies through his podcast, books, and YouTube channel with over a million subscribers. He is known for turning complex science into practical tools anyone can use to burn fat, boost human performance, and support long-term longevity. Ben walks through what happened when he ate nothing but meat, eggs, and dairy for 90 straight days, tracking everything from his microbiome diversity to his LDL particle size. His cholesterol numbers spiked, but the full lipid panel tells a very different story than most doctors would assume. They get into why ketosis works better when you cycle in and out of it, how sodium and electrolytes play a bigger role in insulin resistance than most people realize, and why eating 17 to 23 times a day might be quietly wrecking your metabolism. The conversation also covers the real science behind creatine absorption, why Dave adds his to hot coffee for better brain uptake, the truth about cooking oils and smoke points, and why cold plunging is one of the most misunderstood biohacks in the wellness space. Dave and Ben dig into mitochondria, fasting protocols, sleep optimization, and the supplements that actually move the needle for energy, fat loss, and anti-aging. This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, functional medicine, brain optimization, and building a body that performs at a higher level for longer. You'll Learn: What 90 days of zero fiber actually did to his gut bacteria and microbiome diversity Why his cholesterol went up but his cardiovascular risk markers stayed low The real reason cyclical ketosis works better than staying in ketosis full time How sodium and electrolyte intake affects insulin resistance and metabolism Why eating too frequently keeps your body stuck in glucose and insulin spikes The creatine hack that increases brain absorption using hot coffee Why cold plunging is overrated for most people who skip the hormesis basics Thank you to our sponsors! - PredictiveMind™ | Get your Brain Pattern Mapping report at predictivemind.io/dave and use code DAVE for 10% off. - ZenBud | Dave's Nervous System Biohack.
