CardioNerds (Dr. Shazli Khan, Dr. Jenna Skowronski, and Dr. Shiva Patlolla) discuss the management of patients post‑heart transplantation with Dr. Shelley Hall from Baylor University Medical Center and Dr. MaryJane Farr from UTSW. In this comprehensive review, we cover the physiology of the transplanted heart, immunosuppression strategies, rejection surveillance, and long-term complications including cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) and malignancy. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds intern Dr. Bhavya Shah. Enjoy this Circulation 2022 Paths to Discovery article to learn about the CardioNerds story, mission, and values.

Pearls The Denervated Heart: The donor heart is surgically severed from the autonomic nervous system, leading to a higher resting heart rate (90-110 bpm) due to loss of vagal tone. Because the heart relies on circulating catecholamines rather than neural input to increase heart rate, patients experience a delayed chronotropic response to exercise and stress. Importantly, because afferent pain fibers are severed, ischemia is often painless. Rejection Surveillance: Rejection is classified into Acute Cellular Rejection (ACR), which is T-cell mediated, and Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR), which is B-cell mediated. While endomyocardial biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis, non-invasive surveillance using gene-expression profiling (e.g., AlloMap) and donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) is increasingly utilized to reduce the burden of invasive procedures. The Infection Timeline: The risk of infection follows a predictable timeline based on the intensity of immunosuppression. The first month is dominated by nosocomial infections. Months one through six are the peak for opportunistic infections (Cytomegalovirus, Pneumocystis, Toxoplasmosis) requiring prophylaxis. After six months, patients are primarily at risk for community-acquired pathogens, though late viral reactivation can occur. Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV): Unlike native coronary artery disease, CAV presents as diffuse, concentric intimal thickening that affects the entire length of the vessel, including the microvasculature. Due to denervation, patients rarely present with angina; instead, CAV manifests as unexplained heart failure, fatigue, or sudden cardiac death. Malignancy Risk: Long-term immunosuppression significantly increases the risk of malignancy. Skin cancers (squamous and basal cell) are the most common, followed by Post-Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder (PTLD), which is often driven by Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) reactivation. Notes Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Patlolla 1. What are the unique physiological features of the transplanted heart? The hallmark of the transplanted heart is denervation. Because the autonomic nerve fibers are severed during harvest, the heart loses parasympathetic or vagal tone, resulting in a resting tachycardia (typically 90-110 bpm). The heart also loses the ability to mount a reflex tachycardia; thus, the heart rate response to exercise or hypovolemia relies on circulating catecholamines, which results in a slower “warm-up” and “cool-down” period during exertion. 2. What are the pillars of maintenance immunosuppression regimen? The triple drug maintenance regimen typically consists of: Calcineurin Inhibitor (CNI): Tacrolimus is preferred over cyclosporine. Key side effects include nephrotoxicity, hypertension, tremor, hyperkalemia, and hypomagnesemia. Antimetabolite: Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) inhibits lymphocyte proliferation. Key side effects include leukopenia and GI distress. Corticosteroids: Prednisone is used for maintenance but is often weaned to low doses or discontinued after the first year to mitigate metabolic side effects (diabetes, osteoporosis, weight gain). 3. How is rejection classified and diagnosed? Rejection is the immune system’s response to the foreign graft and is categorized by the arm of the immune system involved: Acute Cellular Rejection (ACR): Mediated by T-lymphocytes infiltrating the myocardium. It is graded from 1R (mild) to 3R (severe) based on the extent of infiltration and myocyte damage. Antibody-Mediated Rejection (AMR): Mediated by B-cells producing donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) that attack the graft endothelium. It is diagnosed via histology (capillary swelling) and immunofluorescence (C4d staining). Diagnosis has historically relied on endomyocardial biopsy. However, non-invasive tools are gaining traction. Gene Expression Profiling (GEP) assesses the expression of genes associated with immune activation to rule out rejection in low-risk patients. Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA (dd-cfDNA) measures the fraction of donor DNA in the recipient’s blood. Elevated levels suggest graft injury which can occur in both ACR and AMR. 4. What is the timeline of infectious risk and how does it guide prophylaxis? Infectious risk correlates with the net state of immunosuppression. < 1 Month (Nosocomial): Risks include surgical site infections, catheter-associated infections, and aspiration pneumonia. 1 – 6 Months (Opportunistic): This is the period of peak immunosuppression. Patients are at risk for PJP, CMV, Toxoplasma, and fungal infections. Prophylaxis typically includes Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (for PJP/Toxo) and Valganciclovir (for CMV, dependent on donor/recipient serostatus). > 6 Months (Community-Acquired): As immunosuppression is weaned, the risk profile shifts toward community-acquired respiratory viruses (Influenza, RSV) and pneumonias. However, patients with recurrent rejection requiring boosted immunosuppression remain at risk for opportunistic pathogens. 5. How does Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV) differ from native CAD? CAV is the leading cause of late graft failure. Unlike the focal, eccentric plaques seen in native atherosclerosis, CAV is an immunologically driven process causing diffuse, concentric intimal hyperplasia. It affects both epicardial vessels and the microvasculature. Because of this diffuse nature, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is often technically difficult and provides only temporary palliation. The only definitive treatment for severe CAV is re-transplantation. Surveillance is critical and is typically performed via annual coronary angiography, often using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to detect early intimal thickening before it is visible on the angiogram.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is once again making an entire episode based on a single song. You're welcome. This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out and talk about why the hit Katseye song, Gabriela, Should've Been Gay. Personally, we have not stopped singing this song on a loop since it came out (of a closet made of air). Gabriela is basically an even queerer, more Gen-Z version of Dolly Parton's Jolene. With two out of six members of the group being openly queer, it was only a matter of time before they released the gayest song we've ever heard. We're honestly not sure what they could've been going for with Gabriela if not a bisexual anthem. We can't talk about Gabriela without addressing the sapphic fever dream that is the music video. Katseye may spend the chorus singing “back off of my fella, Gabriela”, but there is not one fella to be seen anywhere on the screen. In fact, they go to extremes to use absolutely anything but a fella, casting a mannequin and a self-driving taxi as placeholders for men. The decision to cast Jessica Alba and zero men feels deliberately gay, especially when paired with the least subtle lesbian imagery we've ever seen. These girls are literally spitting up flower petals and stroking cats while singing about how much they want to climb Gabriela like a tree. The lyrics for Gabriela are equally as gay as the music video, even leaving in the “fella” rhyme. As we did with our Jolene episode, we pick the lyrics apart line by line looking for the gay subtext. In this case, we're not sure it counts as subtext. It's just the text at this point. The line, “Skin amaretto / I bet you taste just like the summer / Under the covers” transitioning into a fantasy about a threesome with Gabriela pretty much speaks for itself. This girl is so down bad for Gabriela that she literally passes away with her “heart in the casket” when she sees her. There is perhaps no experience more relatable to lesbians than seeing a woman that is so hot that you just die on the spot. We know one thing for sure, Gabriela Should've Been Gay.

Ever feel like your skin is constantly angry at you? Reactive. Stinging. Red for no reason. Like it went from cooperative to completely unpredictable the moment you hit 40? You've probably been told you're just "sensitive now." Maybe you've been diagnosed with rosacea. Maybe you've bought every gentle, fragrance-free product on the market and you're still dealing with irritation. Here's what nobody's telling you: your skin isn't just sensitive. It's inflamed. And there's a huge difference. In this episode, we're diving into something called inflammaging: the chronic, low-grade inflammation that happens in midlife and affects everything from how your skin looks to how it responds to literally every product you put on it. Most skincare approaches completely miss this. They throw more actives at the problem (more vitamin C, more retinol, more acids) which only makes inflamed skin worse. So what's the solution? Turns out, Cleopatra might have been onto something with those legendary milk and honey baths. And no, this isn't about recreating some over-the-top royal spa treatment. It's about understanding why this ritual worked for inflammatory skin and how you can bring that same genius into your own life without needing a palace, a staff, or a dairy farm. In this episode, you'll learn: What inflammaging actually is and why it's wrecking your skin after 40 Why piling on more "anti-aging" products can backfire when your skin is inflamed The anti-inflammatory science behind milk and honey (it's legit) How to create your own weekly ritual that calms your system and gives your skin permission to heal Why this approach works when everything else has failed If you're tired of your skin feeling like it's constantly fighting you, this episode might just change everything.

Peptides are having a moment, but they're not new or foreign to the body. In this episode, we break down what peptides actually are, how they differ from hormones, bioregulators, and supplements, and why they're better understood as precision signaling tools rather than drugs. We also explain how peptides work using a simple lock-and-key model, how they're manufactured, and why sourcing, purity, dosing, and delivery method matter for both safety and results.We dive into where peptides fit in today's wellness landscape, including how they compare to GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, and walk through some of the most talked-about peptides, including BPC-157, Thymosin Alpha-1, Epitalon, MOTS-C, DSIP, and PT-141. From muscle building and fat loss to brain health, sleep, immune resilience, and skin and hair health, we explore real benefits through a physiology-first lens. We also cover who peptides may be helpful for, who should avoid them, and why foundational health like minerals, gut function, nervous system regulation, and metabolic health must be in place before layering peptides in.SHOW NOTES:0:43 Welcome to the podcast!2:22 The tipping point of peptides5:38 Previous episodes on peptides6:26 What is a peptide?8:34 Bioregulators vs Peptides vs Hormones10:48 How are peptides manufactured?12:42 Lock-Key analogy16:03 Overview of benefits17:32 Peptides vs supplements20:03 Ozempic & GLP-1s24:09 BPC-15729:20 Thymosin Alpha 131:12 Epitalon32:59 Renee's peptide dream34:26 MOTS-C35:06 DSIP for sleep36:52 PT-14138:08 Muscle Building & Fat Loss42:58 Brain & Cognitive Health44:45 Skin & Hair health51:31 How to consume peptides52:33 Safety of peptides59:07 Who its for vs Contraindications1:02:01 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Ellie MDBioLongevity PeptidesPeptide UniversitySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

This segment takes listeners straight into the legendary Wayback Machine, revisiting one of the most outrageous bet payoffs in show history. Years ago at the Super Bowl on Radio Row, Ben lost a bet—likely something ridiculous involving the Grammys—and as punishment, KT and Skin handed him a list of the worst, most inappropriate, most impossible words he had to work into interviews with unsuspecting NFL players.
In this segment, the crew dives straight into comedy gold—from Skin's mysterious disappearance (“He had to get a discrete bleaching,” Ben jokes) to the debate over whether Skin is actually a micro‑condom model on the side. KT, meanwhile, finds himself trapped in an unwanted astrology seminar (“Aquarius and Gemini don't get along!”), prompting one of the funniest exchanges of the episode as the entire room tries to figure out why Larry hates him.Krystina brings the rock‑and‑roll energy, sharing updates on her new band Orange Peel Sunshine and teasing original songs the group has been grinding on for weeks. Ben tries (and fails) to get her to revive the legendary Back Door Party track, but Krystina holds firm—“You'll have to show up to find out.”

Today we're answering a question I get all the time:“Can I count collagen toward my daily protein?”Because if you've ever tried to hit something like 1 gram of protein per pound of desired body weight, you know this:It feels hard at firstIt's unfamiliarAnd people look for shortcutsSo collagen comes up a lot.It's marketed as protein. It's easy to drink. It feels “healthy.”But here's the honest answer:Collagen is not a muscle-building protein. But it is a useful tool—when used correctly.Today we're doing a full collagen masterclass:What collagen is (and isn't)Whether it counts toward protein goalsWhat it's actually good forHow to use it properlyCommon mistakes and misuseAnd how to combine it with a smart protein strategyLet's break it down.Resources:Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdCaldera Lab Skin Carewww.calderalab.comDiscount Code: CoachDLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/
HELLO BEAUTIFUL LISTENERS! Thanks for joining for this solo episode. Today I share some life updates & wanted to touch on the final two weeks of the Year of the Snake and what that might enTAIL (pun intended). I also ask the question, Is this the intermission of your life? At this time, you don't have to know what you're shedding. Just trust and let it go during this final stretch of the Snake. Only 2 weeks left. There may be some grief for the things you have to release because they didn't work out. There is a mourning here that occurs when we shed our lost hopes and dreams for the time that has passed.My hope is that this episode offers some comfort, encouragement, and support during what may be a heavy & difficult time. Hang in there, keep going, don't stop here! Greatness is just around the corner.Donations To Women Waken To Support The Show Are Greatly Appreciated
Here's Thursday's show, featuring a huge research project on HBO and their history of dong use, Skin has tales from an emotional night at the American Airlines Center, and is it true you could make loads of money just by doing a fresh jingle for a soda company?
“At what point does a TV show cross the line from ridiculous… to must‑watch?”That's the very real question Ben, Skin, KT, and Krystina open the show with — and yes, it all starts with a deep dive into the week's most important cultural topic: prosthetic dongs.Fresh out of Dallas' winter freeze and back in the studio in their signature white vans, the crew plunges into the accidental theme of the day — a theme KT declares is “the top story in town this week.” From prestige dramas to guilty‑pleasure chaos TV, the gang breaks down the growing trend of “theatrical monster dongs,” the surprisingly realistic ones, and the most unnecessary ones ever filmed.One of the funniest moments hits early when Ben confidently asks Krystina if she remembers the prosthetic in Landman, only for her to respond, “I do not… no.” Moments later she remembers exactly which scene it is — leading to cackling, chaos, and a full reenactment from the room.
“At what point do you realize… people might not recognize you as a broadcaster, but as stadium staff?”This episode is loaded with A hilarious fashion reveal — Skin unveils his “blue version of the Masters jacket,” an old‑school Mavericks throwback blazer that has the entire crew cracking up.The moment a fan asked Skin for a picture… but a woman nearby asked him to take hers(leading Skin to wonder, “Did she think I was an usher?”)The reading of a 1980 letter from Mavericks founder Norm Sanju — complete with perfect old‑school hype, typewriter marks, and a pitch for season tickets that still goes hard 45 years later.
Krystina opens the Cookie Jar with a bombshell, this Sunday's Grammys will feature Post Malone, Slash, Duff McKagan, Chad Smith, and producer Andrew Watt teaming up for a supercharged Ozzy homage. Naturally, Skin immediately points out that Chad Smith appears at every tribute like a drumming version of the Avengers — and yes, he still looks exactly like Will Ferrell.
WBS: Snow Days #346 -- The gang is at it again. Brimstone is joined by his wing-man Alex DaPonte and Brim's wife Danielle as they chat about the Missing LI boy (15) who went missing in NYC to meet someone he met on Roblox, the $450M sale of Nathan's Famous, and Tracy Morgan snubbing an old classmate who deserved it. They discuss the WBS review by Ivy.fm (thank you), and the cast vehemently condemns the heinous actions of ICE against Alex Pretti in Minnesota. They discuss the phallic shaped iceberg found in open waters, the open challenges at one of the Titanic Museums, and could you handle the -2 degrees Celsius water that Jack was let go into. Brim explains what gets Within Brim's Skin.
We’re pretty savvy when it comes to miracle marketing claims, but for once, a product might have the stats to back it up… On today’s episode of Spendy Savey, Leigh and Kelly share their best skincare, makeup, hair, body and fragrance recommendations, including a new $266 serum that’s clinically proven to reverse skin ageing by up to six years (um, WHAT?!) and the fastest ‘express’ self tan Leigh’s ever tried. Spoiler: You can wash it off after just 20 minutes! Could a $75 lip serum possibly be worth its spendy price tag? Leigh thinks so; allow her to convince you why. Plus, we’ve found an excellent chemist-brand cream bronzer that rivals your expensive ones, and a vitamin C serum that could become your C E Ferulic alternative for when the ole budget needs tightening.

KT steps into his veteran‑anchor persona to deliver a flurry of winter stories that range from dangerous… to dumb… to downright unbelievable.KT describes witnessing an SUV pulling kids behind it on ice—one kid waterski‑style—and the crew spirals into stories, shock, and Skin asking Ben if he remembers that Rob Lowe hockey movie where someone cracks their head open on the rink.Plus, A man in Sanger fell through a pond trying to go ice fishing—in Texas. The crew debates the exact number of inches of ice required to not immediately sink.
What does it mean to be truly free? As we mark out 250th anniversary as a nation, writer and historian, Cynthia L Simmons dives into the "sensational" true stories of men and women who redefined libery through moral courage. From the secrets of Amy Carmichael in the temples of India to the defiant love of the Bonhoeffer women in Nazi Germany, we will explore the pivotal moments when faith met fire. We don't just look at history, we use it as a compass for the challenges of 2026. If you'd like a free guide to radical forgiveness, contact Cynthia@clsimmons.com For instance, we covered modern day abolitionists like She is safe and looked at what forgiveness means. History is more than a memory, it's a mission. Let's find it together.

Earlier in the show, we discussed the tragedies, but Skin does have one thing good to come out of Winter Storm Fern
“Why does a broken floor lamp throw an entire house — and maybe an entire radio show — into chaos?”That's the surprisingly deep question that launches one of the most delightfully unhinged episodes of The Ben and Skin Show, with Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray broadcasting from home as Dallas thaws out from another icy blast. In honor of the lamp being patented in 1880, Skin professes his genuine, emotional love for floor lamps — not as a bit, but earnestly. Ben thinks he's doing the Anchorman “I love lamp” routine, but no Skin really does love lamps.KT reveals his floor lamp once died for three weeks and nearly destroyed the balance of his household.Krystina quietly joins “Team Desk Lamp.”This lamp talk becomes shockingly philosophical — and extremely funny.
“How do you stumble onto a show that's eight years old and somehow never heard of it?”That's the thought that launches this laugh‑packed, cabin‑fever‑fueled episode of The Ben and Skin Show, as Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray broadcast once again from their frozen North Texas homes.The show kicks off with the crew comparing weather conditions, home setups, and their odds of ever returning to the studio. But things really take off when Skin dives into his latest obsession: stumbling onto the Netflix series Love, a Judd Apatow project he somehow missed entirely until now.
Here's Tuesday's show, as Ben, Skin, Krystina, and KT broadcast live from home to avoid the slick roads. All the chaotic stories from being trapped indoors all weekend, plus the latest news and stories from around DFW as the metroplex tires to tame Winter Storm Fern.
Advanced skin treatments often underperform for a reason rarely addressed: regeneration cannot occur in a chronically stressed or under-resourced system. Elevated cortisol, inflammation, and metabolic imbalance weaken collagen signaling and tissue repair before any device, injectable, or modality has a chance to work.In this episode of the Biohacking Beauty Podcast, we sit down with Joe Radich from R3 Health to unpack why physiological preparation determines treatment outcomes. We explore how internal factors like stress, hormones, micronutrients, and metabolic health shape skin regeneration, and why modalities like peptides, hyperbaric oxygen, and exosomes only work as well as the system they're introduced into.Joe Radich is an NCCPA board-certified Physician Assistant specializing in regenerative medicine and the founder of R3 Health. He trains physicians and mid-level practitioners in stem cells, PRP, exosomes, and biohacking-based clinical protocols, with expertise spanning orthopedic, aesthetic, hair restoration, and regenerative applications.What's Discussed:(06:42) Why chronic stress and cortisol are silent drivers of visible skin aging(10:18) Preparing the body before skin treatments and why physiology determines outcomes(14:07) Why microneedling success depends on internal biology, not just technique(18:55) The most common lab patterns behind poor skin regeneration and chronic inflammation(24:31) Hormonal imbalance vs hormone deficiency and how both affect skin aging(33:41) GHK-Cu and peptides as signaling tools for connective tissue regeneration(38:09) Hyperbaric oxygen as a force multiplier for skin repair, recovery, and longevity(44:06) Exosomes and regenerative biologics and why sourcing and quality determine resultsFind more from Young Goose:VAMPIRE EXOSOMES → Professional Exosome Serum for Regeneration and Post-Treatment Recovery → Vampire ExosomesUse code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you're a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at www.younggoose.com Instagram: @young_goose_skincareWinter Skincare Protocol: https://www.younggoose.com/pages/winter-protocol Find more from Joe Radich (R3 Health):Website: https://josephradich.com, https://r3health.coInstagram: @joeradich_

If your skin feels dry, puffy, or like your trusted products have suddenly stopped working, you are not imagining it. This episode breaks down exactly why winter is so hard on skin over 40 and what is actually going on beneath the surface. In this conversation, I walk you through the key changes your skin goes through in your 40s, why winter magnifies those changes, and how your lymphatic system plays a critical role in how your skin looks, feels, and functions. This is not about adding more steps or more products. It is about understanding your skin differently and learning how to support it with less, not more. If you are ready to stop second-guessing your routine and start seeing real results in the mirror, this episode will give you the clarity and direction you have been looking for.

Optimizing Skin Health: Gut Microbiome, Probiotics, and Natural Remedies with Dr. Ross Pelton, The Natural Pharmacist and Director of Science & Education for Essential Formulas, which specializes in premium probiotic products. He discusses various methods to enhance skin health, focusing on the role of the gut microbiome, diet, and probiotics. He explores the concept of the gut-skin axis and how intestinal health impacts skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Dr. Pelton highlights specific probiotic products and postbiotic metabolites, explaining their benefits for both gut and skin health. The conversation also touches on lifestyle factors such as hydration, sleep, and exercise, discussing how they contribute to overall skin wellness. Additionally, he delves into the potential anti-aging effects of rapamycin and the importance of maintaining a diverse diet to support a healthy microbiome.
What if your body has been trying to tell you something all along—and you just didn't know how to listen? Twenty-five years ago, Inna was trapped in chronic pain. Psoriasis covered her body. She could barely walk due to back issues. She struggled with anxiety, depression, and digestive problems. She was stuck in the medical system, being told her conditions were genetic and permanent, taking medications that didn't work. Then, at age 20, she lost her baby. And in the depths of that grief and physical agony, one statement from her chiropractor changed everything: "Your body wants to be stuck." That single sentence—which initially enraged her—became the doorway to her awakening. Because it made her realize: if her body WANTS something, it has intelligence. It has language. It's trying to communicate. That night, she placed her hands on her back, breathed, and asked a simple question: "What does my back look like? Why am I in pain?" What happened next awakened an ability that would eventually help tens of thousands of people across the globe. She could suddenly SEE inside her body. She understood the emotional, psychological, and ancestral patterns creating her physical symptoms. And within three weeks, she healed conditions she'd been told were permanent. In this deeply moving conversation, we explore: The Journey to Awakening Inna shares her full story—from growing up in Belarus and being raised to believe doctors were half-gods, to moving to Australia and being bullied, to the pregnancy and loss that became her breaking point, to the moment she took radical responsibility for her own healing and everything changed. How Medical Intuition Actually Works Inna explains how she learned to see into people's energy fields and bodies—from the first time she saw a cartoon liver above her friend's head, to working with a medical doctor who had her place acupuncture needles based on what she was seeing, to learning how to turn the ability on and off so she didn't go insane. The Logic of the Body This is one of my favorite parts of our conversation. Inna breaks down why the body is completely logical—not random, not punishing, but communicating with incredible intelligence. Every symptom has layers of meaning. Every disease has a story. And when you understand the logic, you can begin to heal. What Your Symptoms Are Really Telling You We dive deep into specific body parts and systems: Why your immune system breaks down (insecurity, inner conflict, self-neglect, stress, not being able to say no) What back pain is really about (lack of support—both emotional AND financial) Why skin issues appear (not feeling safe, not belonging, ancestral trauma) How your digestive system holds loss and grief The Power of Color Healing Inna teaches how color is directly connected to emotion, and how you can use color intentionally every single day to shift your state. She shares stories of using pink light for protection, green for manifestation, and how wearing different colors changes how you feel, think, and show up in the world. Taking Radical Responsibility We discuss what it really means to move from being a victim of your body to being the healer of your body. This isn't about blaming yourself for illness—it's about recognizing that you have power, intelligence, and the ability to participate in your own healing. Ancestral Trauma in the Body Inna explains how family patterns and generational trauma show up in your physical body—in your digestive system, your immune response, your nervous system. She shares her own story of recognizing her grandmother's trauma living in her body. Practical Self-Healing Techniques Throughout the conversation, Inna shares tangible practices you can use immediately—from breathing into pain, to asking your body questions, to using color intentionally, to working with pressure points and movement. The Difference Between Caring and Carrying One insight that really struck me was Ina's distinction between caring for people and carrying them. This is huge for healers, coaches, yoga teachers, and anyone in helping professions. Why Healing Pulls You Toward Knowing Yourself Ina's closing wisdom is so powerful: "Healing always pulls you toward knowing you. You cannot heal without self-knowledge. The more you dive in, the more you realize what a layered person you are and how beautifully colorful and complex you are on the soul level." This episode is for anyone dealing with chronic health issues, anyone who feels stuck in their body, healers and coaches who want to understand the deeper layers of what's happening with their clients, yoga teachers, energy workers, bodyworkers, and anyone curious about the profound intelligence of the body. GUEST BIO: Inna Segal is an internationally recognized healer, bestselling author, speaker, and intuitive guide. Born in Belarus and raised in Italy and Australia, Ina's journey to becoming a medical intuitive began after her own healing crisis at age 20. For over 25 years, she has worked with tens of thousands of clients across six continents, helping them decode their body's messages and activate their innate healing abilities.

"Estrogen is not a hormone; it's a family of hormones,” says Dr. Felice Gersh. “You can't say fat does this or fat does that—you have to say which fat. The same with estrogen.” That's right, she is back to challenge the conventional "lowest dose for the shortest time" approach to menopausal hormone therapy, explore why menopause creates a default pro-inflammatory state, how different estrogens activate different receptors, and why understanding these distinctions matters for cardiovascular health, bone density, brain function, immune response, and metabolic health.Episode Overview (timestamps are approximate):(0:00) Intro/Teaser(2:00) Welcome to an Estrogen Masterclass(6:00) The Estrogen Family: E1, E2, E3, E4 Explained(15:00) Alpha vs. Beta Receptors & Why It Matters(27:00) Menopause, Inflammation & Gut Health(33:00) Menopause as a Hormone Deficiency State(45:00) Why the Women's Health Initiative Got It Wrong(59:00) When to Start Hormone Therapy (Age 35?)(1:13:00) Bioidentical vs. Synthetic Hormones(1:22:00) Vaginal Estrogen: Canary in the Coal Mine(1:32:00) BiEst & Topical Estrogen for Skin(1:40:00) After Party: Dr. Stephanie's TakeawaysResources mentioned in this episode can be found at: https://drstephanieestima.com/podcasts/ep453We are grateful to our sponsors:KENETIK - You think carefully about how you fuel your body but are you fueling your brain?

What if every health issue is actually part of the same underlying problem? In this powerful episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz — world-renowned gastroenterologist, gut health expert, and author of Plant Powered Plus — explains why your gut health is a story of your brain-gut connection. He shares why filling the ‘God-shaped hole' is a biological requirement to reduce inflammation and start to heal. Skin issues, bloating, autoimmune disease, chronic pain, fatigue, brain fog, and even bloating may all be hidden symptoms of inflammation, driven by modern life, chronic stress, poor sleep, trauma, disconnection, and most importantly, a lack of spiritual connection. Dr. B shares a startling personal story of his own spiritual awakening that he had previously been too self-conscious to share. Dr. Bulsiewicz also breaks down: - Why modern convenience keeps us stuck in fight-or-flight instead of rest & digest - Practical, science-backed ways to reduce inflammation - Why health protocols help, but are never one-size-fits-all - Why the colon is your first line of defense against inflammation - Top 3 ways we're destroying our gut microbiome - How GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy) are changing gut health, and their potential long-term risks - Importance of fiber, protein quality, diet variety, and why the Western diet fuels inflammation We also explore the powerful link between science, faith, and healing — why spirituality, purpose, and human connection measurably improve physical health, and how loneliness, trauma, and individualism damage the gut and immune system. Backed by science, we unpack how trauma causes digestive disease and why forgiveness can literally heal the body. Dr. Bulsiewicz shares his personal journey into spirituality, his emotional reconciliation with his father, and the remarkable experiences that followed his passing. If you've been struggling with unexplained symptoms, chronic inflammation, gut issues, fatigue, or are searching for a more whole-person approach to health, this episode may completely change how you think about healing.

Dr. Bulsiewicz also breaks down: - Why modern convenience keeps us stuck in fight-or-flight instead of rest & digest - Practical, science-backed ways to reduce inflammation - Why health protocols help, but are never one-size-fits-all - Why the colon is your first line of defense against inflammation - Top 3 ways we're destroying our gut microbiome - How GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy) are changing gut health, and their potential long-term risks - Importance of fiber, protein quality, diet variety, and why the Western diet fuels inflammation We also explore the powerful link between science, faith, and healing — why spirituality, purpose, and human connection measurably improve physical health, and how loneliness, trauma, and individualism damage the gut and immune system. Backed by science, we unpack how trauma causes digestive disease and why forgiveness can literally heal the body. Dr. Bulsiewicz shares his personal journey into spirituality, his emotional reconciliation with his father, and the remarkable experiences that followed his passing. If you've been struggling with unexplained symptoms, chronic inflammation, gut issues, fatigue, or are searching for a more whole-person approach to health, this episode may completely change how you think about healing.
