Hey Heal Squad! Maria is back with another What Worked This Week! And before we get to the heart of this episode (hint, hint: the post-vacation “re-entry blues”), she's sharing five things that genuinely made a difference for her this week, literally from head to toe. First up: a bee sting that accidentally turned into a barefoot strength-training breakthrough, a $4 at-home congestion hack that helped knock out a stubborn head cold, the Notes app system she wishes she had created years ago, plus a label-maker hack currently saving her cords around the house and the clean-up tool on the Iphone. On their own, these things may seem small, but Maria realized they were all doing the same thing: clearing something that was creating unnecessary noise.And that led to a much bigger realization. What if the reason you feel overwhelmed, off, or just not like yourself isn't because something is wrong, but because something needs to be cleared? After coming home from vacation, Maria found herself surrounded by physical clutter and dealing with what she calls the “re-entry blues.” But when she finally stopped pushing, gave herself permission to cry, and sat with what she was feeling, she realized the clutter around her wasn't actually what was weighing her down. There was emotional clutter underneath it all that needed clearing too.We get into why exhaustion isn't always physical, how to figure out what actually needs your attention, the questions Maria uses to recalibrate when she feels off, and why sometimes you have to stop trying to be productive and tend to yourself instead. Plus, Maria shares how her own “Guide Back to You” helped remind her of the tools, truths, and wisdom she already had when she needed them most.Because sometimes getting clear isn't about doing more or fixing yourself. It's about clearing what's in the way so you can finally hear yourself again. Enjoy!

You keep getting sinus infections, so you keep getting antibiotics. What if the antibiotics are part of the problem? Franklyn R. Gergits is a board-certified otolaryngologist and fellowship-trained otolaryngic allergist with about 30 years in practice. This episode is based on his article "Recurrent sinus infections leave damage beyond your sinuses," published on KevinMD. He explains why 2025 guidelines shifted from reaching for antibiotics to treating inflammation, and how repeated courses can wipe out your good bacteria, let resistant bugs and biofilms take hold, and leave you feeling reinfected when the real issue is inflammation. You will hear how this can progress to stubborn fungal infections, why he tests with a scope and lab analysis instead of guessing, and what he reaches for first, from high-volume sinus rinses to steroid sprays. He also shares what he wishes primary care physicians would do before writing the next prescription. Press play to learn how to tell a true infection from chronic inflammation, and what to reach for before the next antibiotic. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform.

Thursday June 4th: Welcome back to The Mom Room!Today's solo episode starts with a trip down memory lane as I share the full history of my sinus issues, from years of recurring infections to sinus surgery in 2015, the complications that followed, and why this has remained such a frustrating part of my health journey.Then we shift into something that has been on my mind a lot lately: burnout.Over the past year, I started noticing subtle signs that something wasn't quite right. I was feeling irritated by completely normal work emails. Someone would send a polite "just following up" message and I'd immediately feel annoyed. That was my clue that the issue wasn't the email, it was me. I had reached a point where I was constantly working, constantly rushing, and starting to resent something I genuinely love doing.So I've been making some changes.In this episode, I talk about how prioritizing nutrition, movement, daily walks with the dogs, tidying my spaces before sitting down to work, and taking intentional breaks throughout the day has completely changed how I feel. I'm working differently, moving differently, and honestly enjoying my days a lot more.I also share why I'm feeling pulled toward creating something new, a more focused project that feels exciting and meaningful, but first I need to figure out exactly what that thing is.If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in productivity mode, or like you're constantly checking things off a never-ending to-do list, this conversation might be exactly what you need today.Enjoy!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week we speak with Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Audrey Dionne about a recent work she co-authored on sinus node dysfunction following congenital heart surgery. How common was this encountered and how often were either temporary or permanent pacing needed? Are there certain surgeries that are more associated with the need for pacing after surgery? Why is this so common following heart surgery? Dr. Dionne shares her deep knowledge this week on this surprisingly common problem.  DOI: 10.1016/j.hrthm.2026.01.049

Understanding Silent Sinus Syndrome and Why Early Detection Can Protect Your Vision and Health Dr. Smith and Dr. Reddy walk through a real patient case of silent sinus syndrome, a chronic sinus condition that often causes little to no symptoms yet can lead to serious complications if left untreated. Learn how it is diagnosed, why early treatment matters, and how minimally invasive in-office procedures are changing outcomes for patients. What you'll learn: What silent sinus syndrome is and how it differs from typical chronic sinusitis Why patients with this condition often have minimal or no symptoms, and what subtle signs to watch for How untreated silent sinus syndrome can affect the eye and surrounding structures over time What modern, minimally invasive treatment options are available, including in-office balloon dilation Think you might have sinus issues that have gone undiagnosed? Take our Sinus Quiz to find out if your symptoms point to something that deserves a closer look. https://www.njent.com/a-case-of-silent-sinus-syndrome/

Reset Breathing, Equalisation Fixes & Ocean Glide: Cindy Yang on Spearfishing, Freediving and Mindset. What happens when a Taiwanese-born Californian firefighter, underwater photographer, and freediving coach moves to Australia for love and brings two decades of ocean wisdom with her? Cindy Yang of Ocean Glide joins Shrek for a wide-ranging conversation that covers her extraordinary life arc — from a hyperactive kid in Taipei who'd never seen the ocean, to chasing abalone on the Northern California coast, to becoming one of the few female firefighters in her station, to eventually leaving her dream career to chase a different kind of depth. Along the way, they dig into practical gold: Cindy's seasickness microdosing protocol, a deep dive into sinus anatomy and why surgery isn't always the answer, her natural wetsuit lube (and exactly how to use it), and the episode's standout gem — the RESET acronym, a breathwork framework drawn from firefighting and freediving that you can use mid-dive, mid-panic, or mid-argument with your kids to snap yourself back into calm, clear decision-making. If you've ever struggled with EQ, stress underwater, or just want to feel more in control in and out of the water, this one's for you. Important Times 00:02:00 — Listener tip from Matt: using coconut oil drops for ear lubrication and near-effortless equalisation, plus a 50/50 vinegar-alcohol rinse for ear hygiene after heavy diving 00:06:00 — PNG spearfishing charter announcement: Shrek and Tim McDonald taking 12 divers to Bali, September 12–20, $7,500 — intermediate-plus, 12m+ divers only 00:07:00 — Cindy Yang intro: free diving coach, underwater photographer, founder of Ocean Glide 00:13:00 — Cindy's origin story: growing up in Taipei, ADHD energy with nowhere to go, parents applying for a US green card when she was born and it coming through 12 years later 00:14:00 — Arriving in California at 12 with zero English, landing in a school with no other Asian students — how adversity sharpened her observation skills 00:19:00 — UC Davis, wildlife conservation biology, and why veterinary school didn't happen 00:20:00 — The moment spearfishing clicked: watching abalone divers emerge from the ocean at Mendocino and immediately joining them in a surf suit with goggles 00:23:00 — Career pivot to firefighting: what it was like being a small Asian woman in a male-dominated American fire station post-9/11, imposter syndrome, and how team culture eventually won out 00:30:00 — Spearfishing journey builds: mentor Larry with a tiny wooden speargun, the annual Mendocino camping extravaganza, and how California diving shaped her ethic 00:33:00 — First trip to Mexico, then the moment a local gear shop owner told her she had to do a PFI course in Kona first — and she did 00:38:00 — Moving to Australia for love: why it took Cindy a full year to write her resignation letter from a job she adored 00:41:00 — Seasickness protocol: how Cindy microdoses Quells (half a tablet early morning, another half at the boat ramp) to dive without drowsiness 00:43:00 — Sinus anatomy explained: why flat-faced anatomy creates drainage issues, the histamine-sinus-EQ connection, and why steroid sprays alone don't fix the root cause 00:44:00 — The allergy desensitisation protocol: visiting an allergist, the checkerboard scratch test, and the injection series that cleared years of chronic sinus inflammation 00:46:00 — Surgery vs integrative medicine for EQ issues: why going ENT-first often skips better options, and the Santa Cruz integrative medicine approach that changed Cindy's health 00:54:00 — Freediving technique: constant diaphragm engagement and why so many divers breathe wrong at the surface without realising it 01:06:00 — Ocean Glide origin story: zinc sunscreen in surf shops, then switching to natural-based wetsuit lube after reacting to chemical conditioners on reef dives 01:09:00 — How to use wetsuit lube properly: one to two teaspoons dry inside the suit, a quarter-cup of water, seal and shake — don't over-dilute 01:13:00 — Shrek's personal story: dropping a full clothing size (42-inch waist to 40, 3XL to 2XL) over three days at a freediving retreat — not weight loss, just inflammation from cortisol reduction 01:20:00 — Why Cindy reframes "breathing up" as "breathing down" — you're not pumping yourself up, you're breathing your nervous system down 01:21:00 — The double inhale technique backed by Andrew Huberman research: how it hijacks a neural circuit to snap your brain out of a stress loop (also works on diaphragm cramps) 01:22:00 — The RESET acronym unpacked: Recognise, Exhale, Stillness, Evaluate, Trust — a step-by-step breathwork framework for in-water panic, life stress, or anything in between 01:32:00 — Firefighting analogy for trust: how tunnel vision in new firefighters mirrors panic underwater, and why you train when you don't need it so it's there when you do Links Mentioned, Partner Deals and Discounts + Froth https://www.instagram.com/cindyatsea/ https://www.cindyatsea.com/links https://oceanglide.co/ Podcasts mentioned https://www.hubermanlab.com/subtopics/breathwork-protocols https://www.hubermanlab.com/episode/how-to-breathe-correctly-for-optimal-health-mood-learning-and-performance https://www.noobspearo.com/dornellas/ - overriding the limbic for freedom Books mentioned Why We Swim by Bonny Siu Deep by James Nestor Breathe by James Nestor Last of the Bluewater Hunters by Carlos Eyles Bluewater Hunting by Terry Maas

In this episode of Better Edge, Kevin C. Welch, MD, professor of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery at Northwestern Medicine, talks about his recent study that evaluated if endoscopic sinus surgery affects the long term risk of asthma and bronchiectasis in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. Drawing from a large retrospective cohort with extended follow up, the study explored differences in outcomes by disease severity and nasal polyp status. The episode also highlights how these findings may inform clinical decision making and patient counseling in the management of refractory CRS.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:     Mohamed: Good day Dr.Cabral. Thoughts on high cholesterol support. I know you covered this topic a lot but anything new that comes to mind? And what kind or protocol would you run over 2-3 months? I know omega3s are great. A good multi. But any others (food also).. in addition to diet improvement. Thanks!      Tom: Thoughts on sinus support.. itchiness both sides (left side a bit more). Would citridical drops help and how would I apply it on the nostrils, currently on Amlodipine and grapefruit is contraindicated. So is there another thing I could try. Thanks for all that you do.      Svetlana: Hello, Dr. Cabral. Have you thought about writing a children's wellness book based on your teachings and the distress protocol? Mostly on the middle school level, since high school kids could comprehend the rain barrel effect. It would be great to have it for a homeschool science class and just in general for all the kids to start learning about how to take care of their body. I'm looking for a science/wellness/whole body and mind book that would be engaging for an 11 year old, but not full or standard allopathic recommendations. Do you know of one you could recommend? A lot of the children's books on the market aren't exactly what you have to offer. Thank you for all that you do.      Jill: Thanks Dr. Cabral for your accessibility in answering questions! Looking for your feedback on Proteolytic Enzymes. I began taking recently at the recommended dose and began having severe headaches that stretched into my lower neck and left shoulder. I thought it might be an allergic reaction or side effect. I stopped for a week and then began again with just 1 capsule a day and seem to tolerate that just fine. Have you seen reactions like this and do you think its ok for me to continue and/or even ramp up at some point and take the full dose?       Lori: Hello Dr. Cabral ~ I listen to your podcast every day, and appreciate you sharing your knowledge and feedback! I am a 59-year-old post-menopausal female, a 27-year Stage 4 Metastatic Melanoma survivor (my recurrence of melanoma occurred when I was pregnant at the age of 31). My mother passed at the age of 36 from pancreatic cancer; my dad passed at the age of 51 from lung cancer. I vist my dermatologist twice per year for skin checks, I avoid the sun, wear sunscreen every day. I am a non-smoker, I exercise daily and I am in good health. Can you tell me if there are tests I should have performed regularly that will indicate the health of my pancreas and lungs? Is that something I should be concerned with? Are there other tests and/or indicators I should be aware of?      Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3690 - - - 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?

Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, or CRSwNP, is a condition driven by ongoing inflammation. That is why treatment is not a one-time fix and why polyps can come back even after surgery. In this episode, Dr. Payel Gupta and Kortney are joined by Dr. Maeve O'Connor, a board-certified allergist and immunologist, to walk through CRSwNP treatment options. This episode is released around World Anosmia Day because loss of smell is one of the most frustrating and most common symptoms of CRSwNP, and one that treatment can actually help with. What we cover in this episode about nasal polyps treatment Nasal therapies as your base management: Saline rinses and nasal steroid sprays are the foundation of CRSwNP treatment. They need to be used consistently as part of your daily routine, not just when symptoms flare. Why nasal polyps keep coming back: CRSwNP is driven by ongoing inflammation, not just the polyps themselves, so removing them does not address the root cause. When surgery is the right choice: Sinus surgery can open blocked passages and help nasal sprays reach deeper into the sinuses, but works best as part of a long-term plan, not a one-time fix. What biologic medications actually do: Biologics target the underlying inflammation causing CRSwNP. Four are currently approved for CRSwNP: dupilumab, omalizumab, mepolizumab, and tezepelumab. Why follow-up care matters even when you feel better: Inflammation can return before symptoms become noticeable, so regular check-ins with your allergist or ENT are key to catching early signs of polyp regrowth.
