Tired of choking down pills and wondering if any of it is showing up? Transdermal could be the answer. The Patch Method bypasses our digestion and liver completely. Super easy, just slap it on. Code NATALIEJILL for 20% off at http://thepatchmethod.com  PLUS… DM "NatalieJill" to @the.patchmethod on Instagram and the first 50 people will receive a free patch kit of their choice plus four free samples. What if the drawer full of supplements you have been faithfully taking every morning is actually making your liver work harder without making you feel any better? If you have ever walked out of a functional medicine or naturopathic appointment with a list of twelve supplements, spent hundreds of dollars filling that order, and then showed up to your next appointment still deficient in the very things you were supplementing, you are not alone. And according to Lindsey Burwell, founder of The Patch Method, you are also not the problem. Lindsey was one of my most talked-about guests ever, and she is back for part two because your questions did not stop after our first conversation. Today we go even deeper into why swallowing supplements is often a losing game for midlife women, and what transdermal delivery actually does differently at a physiological level. We cover the science of first-pass metabolism and why your liver, already under enormous strain from modern life, is simply not prioritizing breaking down your vitamin C. We talk about what "pill fatigue" really is and why it is only getting louder. And we get into the specific patches Lindsey has developed, including the detox patch, the cortisol fix, the menopause patch, and the one I have been waiting to try: the GHKCU copper peptide glow patch, which has serious research behind it for skin regeneration, hair growth, and cellular repair. I also finally get Lindsey to walk me through why the injectable version of that copper peptide causes that intense, all-day throbbing sensation, and why the transdermal version sidesteps that entirely. Spoiler: it comes back to dose. If you have MTHFR or a slow COMT and have had bad reactions to methylated B vitamins, Lindsey explains exactly why the patch form does not cause that same stimulant response. We also dig into who should and should not be using these patches, how to stack them, and why you do not have to give up the supplements that are already working for you. This is one of those episodes that makes you want to go audit your entire supplement cabinet.   WE GO DEEP ON:  Why your liver may be working 3,000x harder than it used to Why supplements are dosed at 10,000% of your daily need What actually happens to a pill before it reaches your bloodstream Why MTHFR carriers react badly to B vitamins in pill form, not patches The detox patch protocol for clearing excess estrogen on HRT Why the GHKCU injectable causes all-day throbbing, and the patch doesn't What 90 days of copper peptide use can do for hair and skin The adaptogen blend behind some of the best sleep scores Lindsey has seen Whether you can stack multiple patches at once Who should never use these patches   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube   Learn More About Lindsey Burwell Instagram ➜ http://www.instagram.com/the.patchmethod  Website ➜ http://thepatchmethod.com use code NATALIEJILL to save    Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

Too many diagnoses. Too many opinions. Too many tabs open. Not enough clarity. If you've ever felt overwhelmed trying to navigate Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS), Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD), POTS, MCAS, chronic pain, or other complex health issues, you're not alone. In this episode of Bendy Bodies with the Hypermobility MD, Dr. Linda Bluestein is joined by physician assistant Rebecca Gluck, PA-C, who brings specialized genetics experience from working alongside Dr. Clair Francomano and serves on the Ehlers-Danlos Society's Medical and Scientific Advisory Board and Road to 2026 Research Committee. Together, they discuss how patients and families can move from information overload to a clearer, more practical plan. They explore how to evaluate online communities, AI tools, direct-to-consumer genetic testing, and conflicting medical opinions without becoming even more overwhelmed. Rebecca and Dr. Bluestein explain why diagnosis is often the beginning, not the end, of the journey, and why there is no single "EDS expert" who can solve every problem in one visit. They also walk through how to prioritize symptoms, identify the most functionally limiting issues, avoid unnecessary "whack-a-mole" interventions, and build a collaborative care team. This conversation is for anyone who has too many diagnoses, too many opinions, too many tabs open, and no clear next step. If you are trying to make sense of EDS, HSD, hypermobility, mast cell activation, POTS, chronic pain, genetic testing, AI-generated health information, or proposed procedures, this episode offers practical guidance to help you pause, sort through the noise, and move forward with more clarity. Takeaways: • Information overload is real, especially for people with EDS, HSD, POTS, MCAS, chronic pain, and complex multisystem symptoms. • More information does not always mean more clarity. The key is learning what applies to you, right now. • AI tools and direct-to-consumer genetic testing can help organize questions, but they are not diagnostic and can make uncertain findings sound more certain than they are. • A diagnosis can provide validation and shared language, but it is usually the start of building a plan, not the finish line. • Hypermobile EDS (hEDS) and HSD currently do not have a confirmatory genetic test. • No single clinician can be the expert in everything. Progress often comes from a collaborative care team and a clinician willing to listen, learn, and help prioritize. • When multiple diagnoses and procedures are on the table, focusing on the most functionally limiting symptoms can help prevent unnecessary or poorly timed interventions. • Addressing underlying contributors such as mast cell activation, dysautonomia, sleep, nutrition, pain, and deconditioning may sometimes reduce the need for more invasive steps. • The goal is not to chase every possible diagnosis at once. The goal is to identify the next best step. Go to AirDoctorPro.com and use promo code BENDY_ to get UP TO $300 off today! Want more Dr. Linda Bluestein, MD?

When was the last time you heard someone say creatine was for women? Probably not often enough. In this episode of The Art of Living Well Podcast®, Marnie and Stephanie break down one of the most researched supplements available and make the case for why midlife women should be paying attention. Creatine has long been associated with bodybuilders and gym culture, but the science tells a far more interesting story, especially for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and the hormonal shifts that come with them. This conversation covers the basics of how creatine works, why women naturally have lower stores than men, and what the emerging research says about its benefits for muscle, recovery, energy, and brain health. Marnie and Stephanie also share how they each take it daily, what brands they trust, and how to work through the bloating concern that keeps many women from sticking with it. Supplements are never the whole picture. But this one may be worth a closer look. Key Takeaways What creatine is and how it supports cellular energy production Why women have lower creatine stores than men How declining estrogen affects muscle mass and recovery The strength and lean muscle benefits of creatine in perimenopause and postmenopause Why brain fog and cognitive decline make creatine worth considering The truth about bloating and water retention The form, dose, and timing that Marnie and Stephanie each use What to look for on a label and brands they recommend Who should consult a doctor before starting Episode Breakdown with Timestamps 00:00 Why creatine matters for women 01:30 What creatine is and how ATP works 03:30 Why women have lower creatine stores 05:00 Strength, muscle mass, and recovery 07:00 Addressing the bloating concern 08:30 Perimenopause and postmenopause research 10:00 Brain health and cognitive function 11:30 Benefits across all life stages 12:00 Myths and contraindications 13:30 Creatine monohydrate: dosing and timing 15:00 Brands and what to look for 18:00 Final takeaways Resources and Links Kion Creatine: Code: ARTOFLIVINGWELL  Brick House Nutrition Creatone Code: livingwell Equi.Life Cell Force Website: https://www.theartoflivingwell.us  Sponsors This episode is brought to you by Good Health Saunas, offering commercial grade infrared saunas designed to support detoxification, muscle recovery, relaxation, and better sleep.

On this episode, Jared sits down with Amber Lynn Vitale, certified nutritionist, Ayurvedic clinical consultant, and national educator for Sabinsa Wellness, to explore the fascinating world of Ayurvedic medicine and what it can teach us about personalized health. They discuss the importance of ingredient sourcing, raw material testing, and how to know you're getting a quality product when choosing supplements. Amber shares how ancient Ayurvedic principles focus on understanding the individual rather than treating everyone the same, and how modern research is beginning to validate many of these time-tested concepts. The conversation also dives into the rigorous standards Sabinsa uses to ensure purity, potency, and consistency in herbal ingredients. If you've ever wondered how to evaluate supplement quality or wanted a practical introduction to Ayurveda, this episode is a great place to start. Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

George has been in digital advertising since 2009, working on a wide range of platforms including Amazon, Google, Bing, LinkedIn and Facebook. Paid advertising. Using these platforms, he has worked with hundreds of advertisers across the world in numerous industries and sectors to maximize their ROAS. His agency, Clear Ads, now focuses purely on Amazon PPC and DSP advertising, helping deliver the best results for his clients. So with that introduction, welcome to the show, George.George 00:00:38  Thank you so much for having me, Josh. It's a pleasure.Josh 00:00:40  What are some of the what's a checklist that you should kind of go through and walk through to vet an agency that you're looking to have, do DSP for you?George 00:00:48  The first thing is don't go with Amazon. Right. But I'm sure they won't mind me saying this. Right. But actually they will. But I'm going to say anyway, Amazon's core strategy is to get you to spend as much money as possible. That's their KPI because that's how they get promoted.George 00:01:02  Right. So the way they treat your account is they go, hey, look at all these amazing impressions that you've got. Isn't that great? And as I said, you're like, hold on one step. Precious isn't really the key thing for us. Like we're trying to get. We're trying to we're trying to grow our business. Not not just increase our reach. So that's the big thing that they go with, especially with the slight uncertainty with attribution at the moment. It could look to to their favor. Right. That's the first thing. Now second, when you do go to an agency, the first step you should take is go onto Amazon's accredited partners page. Right. And check out DSP providers. So Amazon DSP providers just put stuff on Google. Go onto Amazon's page and there's a list of DSP providers. Right. So what you tend to find if you find any company. Right. If they're if they're if they are an official partner with Amazon, they will tend to have a partner badge somewhere which links straight to that page which shows you, hey, their official partner.George 00:01:58  Now, if they're not an official partner, they might be piggybacking off someone else's suit. Right. You don't want to get into that. Because if they're piggybacking off someone else's seat. Right. Let's just say there's some internal issues and they get kicked out of that seat. They no longer have access to your account. Who do you contact? Yeah. Who do? Who do you reach? You don't know. Right. So you want to make sure you've got someone who's got their own first thing. The second thing is, I'm sure every seller that's listening to this, they're savvy. They have a pool. An audience of other savvy sellers. Speak to them, find out who are they using that's doing DSP. That's working really well. Right. Get their first, first, first glance and say, okay, what's your experience been like? and ensure that they're happy with whoever it is. So they're the steps that I would recommend taking when trying to find a DSP agent. I would even go as far as ask them questions about the business.George 00:02:49  What's the purpose of the business? What are you looking to do? How big is it? How long has it been going? Is it? Is it a brand new business that's business. Me starting up for a bit and might not be there tomorrow. Yeah. Is it one that's been there for a while? Is it, you know, you want to you just want to really find out how many DSP, agents you have. How many of them are certified? how many have taken the exams? I would just do your due diligence. Ask those questions before it's too late, and then before you're stuck with someone.Josh 00:03:16  Yeah, I think that is foundation number one for sure. So I hope our listeners follow those best practices because it's true. You make this decision, and it's not like you could just change course after six months or a year. otherwise you're just starting from ground zero all over again. All right. Now let's jump into these strategies. Let's say you have found the right agency to work with.Josh 00:03:41  What's the first strategy you should be implementing with DSP?George 00:03:45  Yeah. So the first strategy is 100% remarketing. You want to you want it. You want to okay. No, n...

Gina (doula/perinatal fitness trainer) and Roxanne (certified nurse midwife) walk through how birth has evolved, from mostly home births with midwives pre-1700s (but high death rates from infection, bleeding, obstructed labor, and blood pressure issues) to increasing hospital-based, physician-led care in the 1800s–1900s. They discuss key shifts like antiseptics, anesthesia (including twilight sleep), antibiotics, transfusions, prenatal care, and safer C-sections—improving survival but often reducing autonomy and satisfaction. They cover the 1970s natural childbirth and feminist movements, and the later push for evidence-based, family-centered care (partners/doulas, skin-to-skin, breastfeeding support, delayed cord clamping, shared decision-making). Their takeaway: modern interventions save lives, but they're tools—not requirements—and blending safety with physiologic support matters.00:00 Welcome to MamasteFit01:02 Birth History Setup02:06 Pre Modern Birth03:21 Why Mortality Was High05:16 Forceps Enter the Scene06:10 Early Medicalization 1700s07:44 Standardized Midwife Training10:22 Modern Obstetrics Begins11:11 Hospitals Take Over Birth12:41 Twilight Sleep Era21:53 Antibiotics and Safer Birth25:59 Routine Interventions Peak29:29 Natural Childbirth Movement32:18 Evidence Based Care Shift34:54 Epidurals And Twilight Sleep35:56 Unmedicated Birth Tools38:03 Stop Romanticizing The Past41:52 Partners Enter The Room43:59 Evidence Based Birth Shift44:52 Modern Practices And Tools50:55 Social Media And Misinformation53:19 Trust Medicine Own Harm59:53 Why Birth Got Safer01:06:36 Balance Safety And Experience01:07:45 Course And Final Wrap————

Today, we're talking about supplements. We've all seen them; the multivitamins, the fortified foods, the neatly packaged powders promising improved energy, immunity and longevity.  Supplements boast bold claims, however, it's hard to know if they're genuinely helpful or just well-marketed. Professor Tim Spector and Professor Sarah Berry join me to unpack why supplements exist, what the science really says about their benefits and risks, and how to decide if supplements deserve a place in your daily routine.

Your child does not need sports drinks, protein powders or pre-workout anything. They need real food, good timing and a mom who knows the difference. Registered dietitian Angie Asche breaks it all down simply and practically. In this episode, Steph and sports dietitian Angie Asche, cover youth athlete nutrition from the ground up. You will learn what recreational and competitive kids actually need to perform and recover, how to time meals around practices and tournament days, what to do when your child is hungry 20 minutes before bed after a late game and why most popular sports products marketed to kids are not what they are cracked up to be. Whether your child plays one sport or five, this conversation will change how you think about feeding them. Topics Covered In This Episode: Does sports nutrition matter for recreational young athletes? Whole food habits to build from an early age How to fuel kids when practice falls at dinner time Pre-tournament meal timing and what to eat between games Post-game snacks: what actually supports recovery vs. what does not Bedtime hunger after late practices: what to do Sports nutrition myths parents believe (Prime, protein powders, weight gainers) Electrolytes: when kids actually need them and how to make your own Supplements for teen athletes: what is worth it and what is not Body image, under-fueling in girl athletes, and how to talk to your kids about food Show Notes: Learn more about Eleat Nutrition Follow @eleatnutrition on Instagram Purchase Fuel Your Body: How to Cook and Eat for Peak Performance  Click here to learn more about Dr. Elana Roumell's Doctor Mom Membership, a membership designed for moms who want to be their child's number one health advocate!

Watch this episode on our Youtube channel @medschoolformoms Listen to today's episode on our website I realized early on that my dream career was to become a sports dietitian. Growing up a competitive dancer and swimmer, I was always intrigued by the impact eating certain foods before a competition or meet had on my performance. I had a love for science and how nutrition could have either the most beneficial or detrimental impact on both athletic performance and overall health. My professional experience began after receiving Bachelor of Science degrees in both Dietetics and Exercise Science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I went on to complete my dietetic internship at Saint Louis University to earn my title as a Registered Dietitian and a Master of Science Degree in Nutrition & Physical Performance. Since founding Eleat Sports Nutrition® in June 2014, I have worked with hundreds of high school, college, and professional athletes nationwide in MLB, NFL, and NHL. I published Fuel Your Body: How to Cook and Eat for Peak Performance in 2021, and work as a media spokesperson for several brands across the health and wellness industry. Whether assisting an adult with weight management or educating an athlete on what to eat to improve their performance, I have a passion for helping others achieve their goals and teaching them how to make healthy eating a part of their daily lifestyle.

Can your DNA unlock the secret to breaking through weight loss stalls? In this episode of the Very Connected Podcast, registered dietitian Sarah Polk joins us to break down how Nutrigenomics testing uses your unique genetic makeup to create a personalized nutrition, supplement, and exercise blueprint. If you are a bariatric patient (pre-op or post-op), using GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, or struggling with unexplained fatigue and weight stalls despite "doing everything right," this episode will explain how your genes dictate your health!  SUBSCRIBE to stay very connected and get more evidence-based bariatric & weight loss resources! https://www.youtube.com/c/ProCareHealth IN THIS EPISODE: Generic "one-size-fits-all" dietary advice doesn't work because our bodies are genetically wired differently. Sarah Polk, MS, RD, LD, explains the science of Nutrigenomics—the study of how our genes influence our response to nutrients, vitamins, caffeine, and exercise. Discover how a simple, 15-second cheek swab can test over 70 different genes to reveal: Why you might have a chronic Vitamin D or Iron deficiency (even while taking supplements). If your body actually tolerates high-fat diets (like Keto) or high-carb diets. Whether caffeine is secretly hurting your sleep, heart health, or anxiety. Your genetic predisposition to snacking, sweet cravings, and obesity. The best type of exercise for your body (strength vs. endurance) and your injury recovery risks.

The same glucosamine pill millions take for joint pain may protect a healthy brain — and accelerate Alzheimer's in a brain already in decline. Here's the science.In this episode of Health Longevity Secrets, Robert Lufkin MD breaks down the 2026 plot twist on glucosamine and dementia: why a supplement once hailed as a longevity hack now carries an Alzheimer's warning, and why the answer comes down to one thing — the state of your metabolism. The same molecule helped the metabolically healthy and may have harmed the metabolically broken. The supplement didn't change; the soil it landed on did.Chapters:00:00 — Introduction00:39 — The Supplement Everyone Trusted01:06 — UK Biobank: Glucosamine and 15% Lower Death Risk01:38 — Why Glucosamine Looked Like a Longevity Hack02:48 — The 2026 Plot Twist: Nature Metabolism Study03:53 — Alzheimer's Mice and the Glucosamine Pathway04:13 — How Sugar Tagging (Glycosylation) Explains Both04:57 — Hyperglycosylation in the Alzheimer's Brain05:34 — The Honest Caveat: Association vs Causation06:55 — The Takeaway: Metabolic Health Decides EverythingKey takeaways:In healthy, cognitively normal adults, regular glucosamine use has been tied to lower all-cause mortality and lower risk of dementia — especially vascular dementia.A June 2026 University of Florida study in Nature Metabolism found the opposite signal in sick brains: in people with mild cognitive impairment, glucosamine use was associated with a 25% higher likelihood of progressing to Alzheimer's, and a 25% higher death risk in those already diagnosed.In Alzheimer's mice, glucosamine made memory worse; blocking the same sugar-tagging pathway made it better.The mechanism is metabolic: glucosamine feeds glycosylation (sugar-tagging of proteins). A healthy brain handles it fine; an Alzheimer's brain is already hyperglycosylated, so adding more is "pouring gasoline on the fire."This is association, not proof of cause — and the literature is genuinely mixed. If you're healthy, it's not a fire alarm. If you or a loved one has MCI or dementia, talk to your physician before the next refill.Studies & sources:Hawkinson et al., "Hyperglycosylation is a metabolic driver of Alzheimer's disease," Nature Metabolism 2026 (University of Florida)University of Florida news release on the glucosamine–dementia findingZheng et al., "Association of regular glucosamine use with incident dementia," BMC Medicine 2023 (UK Biobank)Habitual glucosamine use, APOE genotypes, and cause-specific dementia in older adults (UK Biobank)Li et al., "Associations of regular glucosamine use with all-cause and cause-specific mortality," Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases 2020 (UK Biobank)Read Dr. Lufkin's book "Lies I Taught in Medical School".⭐ Enjoying the show?

A few minutes of encouragement for your Tuesday

Bloating, brain fog, fatigue, skin issues, food sensitivities, autoimmune symptoms—most people treat these as separate problems. But often, they can all trace back to the same place: the gut. And the surprising part is that you don't need digestive symptoms to have gut dysfunction. Because your gut isn't just responsible for digestion—it's deeply connected to your immune system, hormones, metabolism, brain health, and inflammation throughout the body. In today's episode, I dive into: Why gut dysfunction can show up as fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, hormone imbalances, anxiety, and autoimmune symptoms—not just digestive problems The biggest modern-day gut disruptors The Functional Medicine 5R Framework for healing the gut The simple daily habits that help build a healthier microbiome, reduce inflammation, strengthen digestion, and support long-term resilience Healing your gut isn't about perfection, restrictive diets, or endless supplements. It's about creating the conditions your body needs to repair itself. When you support your gut, you're often supporting your immune system, your brain, your hormones, your energy, and your overall health at the same time.

Are peptides the missing piece in your health journey, or can supplements do the job on their own? In this eye-opening episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I break down the key differences between peptides and supplements, how they work inside the body, and whether you need one, the other, or both to optimize your health, energy, metabolism, recovery, and longevity.Many people are spending thousands on the latest peptide therapies without understanding their purpose, while others rely solely on supplements and wonder why they aren't seeing the results they want. If you're trying to navigate the growing world of health optimization, biohacking, weight loss, longevity, and wellness, this episode provides the clarity you need before investing your time and money.Supplements Featured In This Episode:• Acceleradine® Iodine https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/acceleradine-iodine-supplement• Accelerated Liver Care® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-liver-care• Accelerated AMINOS® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-aminos • Accelerated Thyroid® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-thyroid-supplement • Accelerated BIO PEPTIDES™ https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-collagen-peptides• Accelerated Cellular Detox® Powder https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-cellular-detox-powder Not sure what food to eat and avoid?

Your hormones have seasons — and somewhere in my 40s, mine changed the rules on me. In this episode, I walk through the three things that actually shifted: how much my gut became the lever for everything (the estrobolome is real, and so is my new sensitivity to skipping fiber), why I didn't lose my grit but redirected it toward what I value, and how I supplement now — like maintaining a car with 200,000 beautiful miles on her. I frame the whole thing as a letter: what I'd say to my younger self, and what I hope my older self says back to me. The thread underneath all of it — a deposit now for a fuller withdrawal later.

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:    Lena: Hi Dr. Cabral, I absolutely love your podcast and listen to it every day! Thank you for everything you do to make us all healthy! My question is, how do you feel about taking supplements for 5 days and then not taking them for 2 days? Is this good for the body or is better to take them every day? Thank you so much!      Hilary: Hi Doc, Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with all of us! I recently started going to a biological dentist. He said that my gums are inflamed and gave me an ozone treatment. Is there a root cause or a way to find a root cause for inflamed gums?      Mohamed: Hello Dr.Cabral.. Ive been a daily viewer of your podcast for a few years now.. really struggling. I've watched all your blood pressure videos. Tried everything to lower my dad's Bp. Magnesium, Omega 3, DNS. To no avail. Ive also tried to increase his potassium. It's frustrating.. he takes a combo of Amplodine (CC blocker and Telmisartan ARB) Even that doesn't help.. what do you recommend. He did his minerals and metals lab. Potassium was green, sodium was borderline yellow at 11. Magnesium was a 5 (exactly green). Calcium 66 (green but close to orange). Ca/Mg ratio is high. Ca/K ratio which is elevated. Na/Mg is low. One thing we haven't tried was proteolytic enzymes.. honestly I think it's hardening of Arteries. He's late 60s. Thanks Doc       Karen: Hi, Dr. Cabral I have a lot of health issues: POTS, MCAS, very very low HRV, extreme postprandial heart elevation after eating, extreme fatigue, Ehlers Dahlos/hyper mobility. I saw a functional medicine doctor to try to get on a good health track but it became focused on elimination diet which became too extreme for me because I have a history of an eating disorder. (almost 10 years ago but still, I was losing too much weight for it to be healthy for me) Please advise where to start and if it is possible to get on track without doing elimination diet. Thank you!       Aidan: Hi Dr Cabral, roughly 9 months ago I was sick with mono for about 6 weeks. As my symptoms eased I began to notice a lot of tingling and numbness in my limbs, 90% in the left arm. As I returned to fitness and the feeling went away I found my pressing strength in the left side was very diminished. My tricep, left upper pec, and left lat lost a lot of size and I was unable to load them anywhere close to where I could prior. I went to the a neurologist and it was revealed through EMG I have a pinch in my elbow and neck. It is also suspected that I could have some kind of post viral neuropathy as ever since then I do experience lots of weird tingling in my arms and sometimes legs as well as the strength defect and I am struggling to get back. Looking for any advice, I feel like I'm losing hope       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/3788 - - - 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?

And this conversation goes a lot deeper than seeing clearly. Dr. Bryce Applebaum is a functional neuro optometrist who rewires the connection between the eyes and the brain. Vision is not the same as eyesight. Eyesight is how you focus light. Vision is how your brain tells your eyes to move, converge, track, and make sense of the world. And in 2026, with the average adult spending over seven hours a day on screens, that system is under more stress than it has ever been. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why your prescription should not get stronger every year as an adult, and why a worsening prescription is a sign your brain is adapting to stress, not a normal part of aging • The connection between functional vision problems and ADHD, including why convergence insufficiency and eye turns are diagnosed far more often in kids labeled with ADHD, and how vision training has gotten patients off medication entirely • Why blue light blocking glasses are not enough, what is actually causing your brain fog and eye fatigue after hours on a screen, and the overnight contact lenses that reshape your cornea while you sleep Plus the foods that protect your eyes, the foods that accelerate macular degeneration, and why vision belongs at the top of your list if you are dealing with brain fog.

Plus: Hyperbaric chambers, red-light therapy, mRNA, cancer research, and the surprising importance of boredom and friction. Kara Swisher is a veteran tech journalist, host of the Pivot podcast with Scott Galloway, and one of the most influential voices covering the intersection of technology and power. Her new CNN documentary series, Kara Swisher Wants to Live Forever, takes on the longevity industry — separating genuine medical breakthroughs from the pseudoscience being sold to anyone with a credit card and a fear of aging. Kara Swisher has been covering Silicon Valley longer than most of its billionaires have been rich — and she's watched them turn a simple fear of death into a multi-billion dollar industry of expensive, largely unproven interventions. After her own stroke at 49, she decided to investigate: what actually works, what's a grift, and what does the science really say about living longer? The result is a new CNN documentary series that's part BS-detector, part genuinely hopeful look at the medical breakthroughs that could change everything. This conversation covers both. We talked about: Why biohacking culture is basically a men's eating disorder dressed up as science Bryan Johnson, Peter Attia, and what Silicon Valley gets catastrophically wrong about longevity The supplements, therapies, and interventions that are mostly hype (peptides, hyperbaric chambers, red light therapy, full-body scans) What VO2 max actually measures — and why it's one of the few metrics worth tracking GLP-1 drugs: the real promise behind the Ozempic headlines The mRNA breakthroughs that could produce a pancreatic cancer vaccine Why your relationships are a more powerful longevity drug than anything you can buy The case for boredom, friction, and putting your phone down How thinking about death every day can make you happier and less afraid Get the 10% with Dan Harris app here Sign up for Dan's free newsletter here Follow Dan on social: Instagram, TikTok Subscribe to our YouTube Channel This episode is sponsored by: Eight Sleep: Use code DanHarris at eightsleep.com/danharris for up to $350 off the Pod 5, with a 30-day trial if it's not for you.

Neal Bawa - Grocapitus and MultifamilyU On Using the Right Tools to Make Good Decisions: "I said, I'm going to mine as much data as possible and try to get insights from that data." Many investors use real estate investing as an investment vehicle in their portfolio.  Most of those investors are looking at their local real estate market and trying to find deals that can pump out the returns they want. But the world is smaller now, and real estate investing in your backyard is no longer necessary.  You can invest hundreds of miles away and possibly turn over a stronger margin.  The way to find the best place to invest, starts with gathering data and comparing places. Neal Bawa, known widely as the "mad scientist of multifamily," is the engineer turned real estate investor that combines his knowledge of real estate, data science, and artificial intelligence. Neal shares his unconventional journey from running a successful tech company to revolutionizing real estate investing through data-driven decisions and AI-powered tools. Neal weathered the housing crash of 2008, built a thriving syndication business and a free educational community at MultifamilyU. Listen as Neal teaches us how to be fascinated by real estate, curious about the AI revolution, and to seek new ways to scale and automate your business. Enjoy!

Greater than the invention of the wheel, greater than the invention of fire, greater than the invention of the personal computer and the Internet put together. We have never seen anything of this Type. The smartphone wasn't even 1% of the AI revolution. And we think of the smartphone as the greatest invention of our times. It's nothing compared to AI.

And today we're welcoming, preparing to learn from Neil Bawa of Growcapitus. I'm told, Neil, you are the mad scientist of multifamily. Is that true? Neal Bawa [00:01:10]: It's a moniker I present at many conferences. So I presented at over 101 of the times when I was walking up to the stage, they were announcing and talking about me. The announcer said, the mad scientists of multifamily. And that got a nice gasp out of the audience and I was like, I like this. And so the next year I went to the conference, he introduced me as a mad scientist. And then eventually I was like, people like this concept because it helps them understand that I'm data driven. I'm very AI focused. And so it's an interesting moniker. Neal Bawa [00:01:41]: I don't have the dark brown hair, but I mean that's how I roll. So I let it be and eventually it became part of our story. James [00:01:51]: That is incredible. So tell me the story. How did you end up with the moniker of the mad scientist of multifamily? That's not something people throw randomly around. Neal Bawa [00:02:00]: Yeah, so look, I'm not a real estate guy, not a real estate royalty. No one in my family is in real estate. I'm a technologist. I'm from India, came here as a computer scientist. Data science is my area of interest. I'm an amateur data scientist, but my degree is in computer science and I ran a tech company from 1999 to 2013. Very successful, not a start up, you know, hundreds of employees. And we sold it in 2013. Neal Bawa [00:02:28]: And my interest in real estate started when the senior partner in the firm, I was a junior partner, basically said in 2003, we are not going to rent, we are going to build our own campus. And this wasn't a multifamily campus at that time. It was an office campus for a business. And, you know, we had 150 employees, and we were renting from somebody. And he didn't like that. So he, under his guidance and his expert advice, I built the first campus in 2003. We took 12 months to build it. We had no investors. Neal Bawa [00:03:00]: We had no bank. It was just all cash. We built it ourselves because the business was quite profitable. At the end of that process, I realized just the extraordinary, shockingly high benefits that you get when you use depreciation, Right? Cause this big campus, 27,000 square feet, and I just all of a sudden was making. Taking a lot more money home. I wasn't making more money. I was just taking a lot more money home because the depreciation of that building was phenomenal. And that got me hooked into real estate. Neal Bawa [00:03:30]: Because at one time, I remember after that building was done, James, I remember saying to my wife, I think real estate is the best authorized tax scam in America. Now, obviously, I didn't know depreciation back then. I didn't understand accounting. Now I understand that there's nothing scammy about it. You know, depreciation is a legitimate right. And you take it for real estate. You can also take it for other things. But for real estate, it's. Neal Bawa [00:03:56]: It's extremely beneficial compared to any other form of depreciation, any other business. And so I realized that I, you know, I had the big fat tax salary, and I was living in Taxifornia, so I was basically working for the man. 50% of my salary was going to state and federal. And so I said, I need to find a way around this, because I read a book by Robert Kiyosaki, and I remember the statement, it's not what you make, it's what you keep. Right? And I was like, I ain't keeping much of my salary. So I was like, okay, I need to get into real estate. So I went back to my boss and said, you know, what we did with this campus was really great. Let's do it again. Neal Bawa [00:04:31]: And so we built a bunch more campuses. I think four or five campuses were built and improved coming up to 2008. And so each year, what would happen is I was keeping more and more of my income because of all the depreciation that I was getting. And so I was saving and saving and saving. And so I'd ended up with, you know, pretty large amount of money by the time 2008 hit. And then when that happened, all of a sudden, property values plummeted. They went down. And so I would go to, you know, my family events and everyone would just bash real estate. Neal Bawa [00:04:58]: Everyone's like, this is horrible. Don't buy real estate. It's horrible, horrible. It's going to crash. You know, it's worth nothing, blah, blah, blah. And you can imagine everyone was saying that because, you know, all the television, on the tv you're just hearing bad news, bad news. Every day it's bad news. It can only go down further. Neal Bawa [00:05:11]: You know, millions and millions of homes are in foreclos. And I'm like, I don't understand this. I don't understand. I mean, I'm from the Warren Buffett school of investing, which is, you know, when things are cheap, you buy them. So I'm like, but I don't want to make a mistake. You know, I have this money, this, that I've saved up over the last five or six years. I want to go out and buy as many single family homes as I can. But I don't want to make a mistake. Neal Bawa [00:05:34]: What if I'm just an idiot that knows nothing? So I decided that I would basically educate myself. And I did that in the typical way that, you know, technologists and engineers do. I said, I'm going to mine as much data as possible and try to get insights from that data. So I started mining websites like Bureau of Labor Statistics and Zillow and Trulia and Redfin and you know, all these other sites that realtor.com that you've heard about in the real estate area. And I'm mining gigabytes of data and putting them into a statistical analysis software called R. The software is R and statisticians know it. And you know what R does? It makes it easy for you to take huge amounts of data that you know nothing about and give you insights, right? These days, AI does it and it even does it better than the software. But back then there was no AI. Neal Bawa [00:06:23]: So the software would give you insights, it would give you correlation. So you could say something like, show me real estate profits that are made in this city and this city and this city and correlate that real estate profit with these various things that I'm looking at. What is the highest correlation? Is the correlation of profits highest to population growth or job growth or income growth or home price growth or crime reduction or schools. Where's the correlation? The connection? The biggest, right? And then based on that correlation,...

Is it protein? Calories? Carbohydrates? Fruits and vegetables? Supplements? The answer may be simpler and more practical than many people expect. In this episode, Shelley explores one of the most common nutrition questions and explains why focusing on overall eating patterns matters more than any single food, nutrient, or meal. Learn why consistency often outweighs short-term changes, how balance and flexibility support long-term health, and why nutrition is rarely as black and white as social media makes it seem. The discussion also covers plant-forward eating, personalized nutrition, habit formation, and the role of realistic expectations in creating sustainable eating patterns. If you've ever wondered whether one food choice can make or break your health, this episode provides a broader perspective on what truly matters most.

The European Commission has established harmonised rules throughout the 27-member states of the EU regarding the content of vitamins and minerals in food supplements. However, the health food sector believes the rules are excessive. Jerry spoke to Hannah Dare of the Save Our Supplements campaign; she owns and runs the Organico health food store in Bantry.

"Exercise is good for EDS." So why do so many hypermobile people get worse when they try it? In this episode of Bendy Bodies with the Hypermobility MD, Dr. Linda Bluestein is joined by co-host Dr. Dacre Knight, Medical Director of the UVA Health EDS and Hypermobility Disorders Center, and physical therapist Dr. Morgan Groover to discuss one of the most misunderstood aspects of hypermobility care: how to make physical therapy and exercise work for a hypermobile body. Many people with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS), Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD), chronic pain, POTS, and related conditions have been told to exercise more, only to experience increased pain, injury, or setbacks. Others have been told to avoid activity altogether. In this conversation, Dr. Groover explains why both approaches can miss the mark. Together, they explore how hypermobile joints, muscles, tendons, and connective tissues respond to load, why individualized physical therapy is essential, and how the right amount of strengthening can improve joint stability, function, and quality of life. Dr. Groover shares practical strategies for determining an appropriate starting point, progressing safely, interpreting pain and soreness, and avoiding the common cycle of overdoing it and crashing. They also discuss the powerful role language plays in rehabilitation, how fear of movement can contribute to disability, and why hypermobile patients can often continue participating in activities they love, including running, dancing, yoga, and sports, with the right support and guidance. Whether you're living with EDS, HSD, generalized joint hypermobility, chronic pain, or you're a clinician looking to better support hypermobile patients, this episode offers practical, evidence-informed insights that can help change the way you think about movement and rehabilitation. Takeaways: • Why physical therapy often fails hypermobile patients and what successful EDS-informed rehabilitation looks like • The difference between productive soreness and pain that signals excessive loading • How muscles and tendons adapt to exercise and support joint stability in hypermobility • Why both overloading and underloading can contribute to worsening symptoms • How to safely return to exercise, sports, dance, yoga, and other meaningful activities • Why language matters when discussing joint instability, weakness, and pain • How fear of movement can contribute to deconditioning and disability • Practical strategies for building strength, resilience, and confidence in a hypermobile body Find the episode transcript here.

Hoping that a few good nights of sleep or a cleaner diet will finally cure your exhaustion? In this episode, Dr. Erin Ellis shares a hard truth: hormone fatigue does not get better on its own. When hormone dysregulation goes unaddressed, your body doesn't course-correct, it simply adapts to the dysfunction, borrowing from other systems until you are running completely on empty. Dr. Erin breaks down the physiological shift from "wired" to "depleted," how untreated imbalances multiply into complex symptoms like brain fog and weight gain, and the heavy relational toll of merely surviving your life. Your body has an incredible capacity to heal, but you have to stop waiting. Tune in to learn how to identify your specific pattern and finally feel like yourself again.   In this episode, you will learn: Why waiting for hormone fatigue to go away doesn't buy you time, it just entrenches the dysfunction. How chronic stress moves your body from high-cortisol anxiety to a flat, depleted low-cortisol state that is much harder to recover from. How a single imbalance (like low progesterone) cascades into poor sleep, impaired insulin sensitivity, and a sluggish metabolism. Why early interventions stop working over time, and how physical depletion quietly shrinks your relationships, career, and identity. A tangible breakdown of hormonal restoration from sustained afternoon energy to regaining your emotional bandwidth.   Stop guessing why you're exhausted.

We're sold the idea that health should be easy — the right supplement, the right hack, the right shortcut should make the work disappear. When it doesn't, it's easy to feel like something's wrong with you instead of recognizing that effort was the design all along. In this episode, Cher unpacks why resistance — physically and spiritually — isn't a sign of failure but the actual mechanism of growth, and why the foundational work of caring for your body is ongoing rather than a one-time fix. She reframes effort through the lens of stewardship: God equips us with tools and grace, but the tending of what we've been given is still ours to do. If you've been waiting for your health to start feeling effortless, this episode makes the case for why that expectation — not your effort — might be the real obstacle. Key Topics The cultural obsession with ease and its impact on health and faith The spiritual significance of stewardship and effort Resistance training as a metaphor for spiritual and physical growth The importance of foundational work in health and life The deception that things should be easy, and its consequences Practical ways to build healthy habits through consistent, intentional effort The role of faith in overcoming challenges and resistance The connection between physical resistance and spiritual growth Takeaways Embracing resistance and effort is essential for growth in both health and faith. Culture's focus on ease can distract us from God's purpose and our well-being. Foundational work in health is like building a scaffold — necessary and ongoing. God provides the tools and grace, but the work of stewarding our bodies and spirits is still ours to do. Ease comes with a hidden cost; resistance is what builds strength and resilience Ready for a personalized plan built around your own data and life, instead of one more generic protocol?

Most people treat sleep like something that happens to them. Dr. Michael Breus, aka The Sleep Doctor, treats it like a system — one that can be built, optimized, and recovered no matter how badly you've abused it. In Part 2, Dwayne and Dr. Breus move from theory into full practice: the single morning habit that regulates your entire sleep schedule, the truth about supplements and peptides, and why a 78-year-old entrepreneur taking four different drugs to get through the day became drug-free in two weeks and now more productive than his staff can handle. In this episode: The one rule that regulates your entire sleep schedule The three-15s morning routine: 15 deep breaths, 15 ounces of water, and 15 minutes of direct sunlight within 20 minutes of waking — and why vitamin D is a circadian pacemaker The supplement framework most people get completely wrong Dr. Breus's unambiguous position on peptides: lab-use-only compounds are being injected by people who have no idea what the 10 or 20-year consequences are, and the only thing he's ever found that he cannot fix without medication or intervention is physical pain and major mental health issues How Dr. Breus accidentally became The Sleep Doctor: rejected from his first-choice sports psychology program, he sold himself into a sleep track, fell in love with clinical sleep medicine, and never looked back — "You change somebody's sleep, you change their life."

Everything. There's not a single biological function that you don't do better when you sleep.” - Dr. Michael Breus “ 25% of the people that show up on my doorstep, I have them go do blood work. As soon as we fix the deficiencies, they're done. They're gone. They don't need anything. But here's the funny part. Nobody has a deficiency in ashwagandha, right? Nobody has a deficiency in passionflower, right? Nobody.” - Dr. Michael Breus “ God's delays are not God's denials. You know, you thought you wanted to be this, and you were pursuing this expectation or this hope or this dream, but then what you really found was your true purpose.” - Dwayne Kerrigan “Wake up at the same time seven days a week. Notice I didn't say go to bed at the same time. I said wake up at the same time.” - Dr. Michael Breus “ Sleep is the currency of attention. You cannot pay attention to anything if you're not well-slept. ADD, ADHD gets worse when you're not well-slept. You can't focus. Everything depe- this is why sleep is so fundamental to life, is because it's, it literally dictates what you look at, what you focus on, and where you spend your time. It's all comes from whether or not you got a good night's rest.” - Dr. Michael Breus Dr. Michael Breus, Ph.D., is a double board-certified Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Sleep Specialist, and one of only 168 psychologists in the world to have passed the Sleep Medicine Boards without attending medical school. Known as The Sleep Doctor, he is the founder of sleepdoctor.com, was named the Top Sleep Specialist in California by Reader's Digest, and one of the 10 most influential people in sleep, and is the author of several books including The Power of When and Sleep, Drink, Breathe: Wellness is Too Complicated.

In this episode of The Architect of Resilience, I sit down with Lucas Allen, founder of Boost Your Biology, to discuss what actually drives performance, recovery, hormone health, and longevity. We explore why so many people chase the latest compounds, peptides, and biohacking trends without understanding the biology they're trying to influence. From TRT and GLP-1s to TUDCA, dopamine, sleep, liver health, metabolism, and blood work, this conversation focuses on the foundational systems that determine whether any intervention will actually work. If you're interested in optimizing your health, improving performance, or building a smarter longevity strategy, this episode will help you think differently about the process.  https://chrisduffin.com/ Coaching, Peptides, Supplements, eBooks & Merch, Education, and my Free Community!

This episode breaks down gestational diabetes (new insulin resistance in pregnancy—not type 1 or 2), how insulin and glucose work, and why pregnancy naturally raises insulin resistance (but sometimes the pancreas can't keep up). It covers who's at higher risk (higher BMI, inactivity, prior GDM, certain ethnic groups, prior 9+ lb baby, PCOS, hypertension, heart disease) and how screening works at 24–28 weeks: the non-fasting 1-hour 50g test, followed by a fasting 3-hour 100g test if you “fail” (two elevated values = diagnosis). It explains why the test is a glucose “stress test,” alternatives like at-home fingersticks or CGM, and drink options (Glucola, Fresh Test, jelly beans). Finally, it outlines risks (C-section, shoulder dystocia, preeclampsia, baby hypoglycemia) and care differences between diet-controlled (deliver by 40+6) vs medication-controlled (NSTs/ultrasounds ~32 weeks, deliver ~39).00:00 Gestational Diabetes Overview00:52 How Insulin Works02:31 Risk Factors Explained03:20 Glucose Test Basics05:43 One Hour vs Three Hour07:06 At Home Monitoring Options09:42 Drink Alternatives13:52 Why It Matters Risks18:46 How Care Changes21:27 Final Recap Next Steps24:24 Closing Resources————

And this conversation goes a lot deeper than seeing clearly. Dr. Bryce Applebaum is a functional neuro optometrist who rewires the connection between the eyes and the brain. Vision is not the same as eyesight. Eyesight is how you focus light. Vision is how your brain tells your eyes to move, converge, track, and make sense of the world. And in 2026, with the average adult spending over seven hours a day on screens, that system is under more stress than it has ever been. In this episode, you'll discover:  • Why your prescription should not get stronger every year as an adult, and why a worsening prescription is a sign your brain is adapting to stress, not a normal part of aging  • The connection between functional vision problems and ADHD, including why convergence insufficiency and eye turns are diagnosed far more often in kids labeled with ADHD, and how vision training has gotten patients off medication entirely  • Why blue light blocking glasses are not enough, what is actually causing your brain fog and eye fatigue after hours on a screen, and the overnight contact lenses that reshape your cornea while you sleep Plus the foods that protect your eyes, the foods that accelerate macular degeneration, and why vision belongs at the top of your list if you are dealing with brain fog.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared launches a new series on ancestral nutrition by diving into the world of glandular supplements and organ-based nutrition. From beef liver and heart to spleen, adrenal, and pancreas, Jared explains what glandulars are, why they've become so popular again, and how they've been used historically in both traditional cultures and functional medicine practices. He breaks down the nutrient density of organ meats, the role of peptides and cofactors, and why freeze-dried, New Zealand-sourced organ supplements may offer unique nutritional support for energy, stress resilience, immune health, and overall vitality. Jared also discusses the concept of “like supports like,” the importance of sourcing and processing, and practical guidance for anyone curious about adding glandular supplements to their wellness routine.Organ/Glandular ProductsVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Are you confused about which supplements you actually need in midlife — and which ones are just expensive clutter in your cabinet? You're not alone. Between magnesium, vitamin D, collagen, omega-3s, probiotics, protein powders, creatine, hormone balance blends, and every "must-have" bottle on the shelf, it can feel overwhelming fast. And when you're navigating perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, cravings, mood changes, weight shifts, joint aches, stress, or feeling like your body has changed the rules without telling you, it's easy to wonder if the right supplement might be the missing piece. In this episode of Living Life Naturally, Lynne Wadsworth, Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, breaks down supplements in a practical, conversational, and grounded way for women in midlife. We'll talk about what supplements can do, what they can't do, why "more" is not always better, and why supplements should support the foundation — not replace nourishing food, protein, fiber, hydration, sleep, stress support, blood sugar balance, movement, and listening to your body. Lynne also walks through some of the most commonly discussed supplements for women over 40, including vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, omega-3s, B vitamins, iron, protein powders, probiotics, collagen, creatine, and popular hormone-support blends. You'll learn why some supplements may be helpful, why others should be personalized, and why testing, quality, medication interactions, and your own health history matter. This episode is not about building a supplement cabinet that requires a spreadsheet and a second mortgage. It's about gaining clarity, becoming a more informed consumer, and learning how to support your body with wisdom instead of chasing every trend. If you've ever stood in the supplement aisle wondering what you actually need, this conversation will help you take a calmer, more confident next step. Connect with Lynne Imagine not having to "figure out midlife" on your own anymore.

Are you asking ChatGPT, AI, or Facebook groups what supplements your gymnast needs?Maybe your gymnast is tired, sore, injured, getting sick often, struggling to recover, or not gaining strength — and as a parent, you just want to help.So you ask: Does she need magnesium? Iron? Creatine? Electrolytes? Protein powder? A multivitamin?But when it comes to pediatric and adolescent gymnasts, supplements are not that simple.In this episode, Christina continues her four-part series on what ChatGPT and AI do not know about your gymnast's nutrition, and today's focus is supplements.Because while AI can give you a polished answer or a list of recommendations, it cannot accurately assess whether your gymnast actually needs those supplements.It does not know if she is eating enough, growing appropriately, recovering well, fueling consistently, or whether her symptoms are actually signs of under-fueling.And this matters.Because no supplement can make up for not eating enough.Many of the things parents try to fix with supplements — fatigue, soreness, poor recovery, frequent illness, injuries, slow strength gains, or stalled progress — are often connected to under-fueling, not a missing supplement.In this episode, Christina breaks down why “food first” matters, why supplement recommendations require context, and why individualized nutrition support is so important for growing gymnasts.In this episode, we cover:❗ Why AI and online searches cannot determine your gymnast's supplement needs❗ Why supplements should never replace eating enough food❗ Why fatigue, soreness, injury, and poor recovery are often signs of under-fueling❗ Why creatine, protein powder, iron, magnesium, electrolytes, and multivitamins all require individualized context❗ Why iron supplements can be harmful if your gymnast does not actually need iron❗ Why supplement quality and third-party testing matter❗ Why social media supplement recommendations can be misleading❗ Why parents may spend more on random supplements than they would on individualized support❗ What parents should ask instead of, “What supplement does my gymnast need?”AI may be able to generate a supplement recommendation.But it cannot evaluate your gymnast's growth, fueling, recovery, labs, training demands, injury history, symptoms, and health context the way an experienced pediatric and adolescent sports dietitian can.Your gymnast does not need a random supplement stack from the internet.She needs the right nutrition foundation first.Enough food. Enough carbs. Enough protein. Enough calories. Enough consistency.And then, if there are true gaps, supplements can be used intentionally and individually.Because supplements are just that — supplements.They are meant to fill in what is missing, not fix under-fueling.So if your gymnast is tired, sore, injured, sick often, struggling to get stronger, or not recovering well, the better question is not, “What supplement should she take?”The better question is, “Is she eating enough to support what her body is being asked to do?”And that requires individualized support, not a generic AI answer.Links & ResourcesThe Balanced Gymnast® Program (Level 5–10)Connect with Christina on Instagram @the.gymnast.nutritionist christinaandersonrdn.com

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…   Matt: Hi Dr Cabral, I'm constantly trying to improve my sleep but can rarely ever get more than 6 to 6 1/2 hours consistently. If I go to bed earlier, I wake up earlier ready to go. Right now I'm taking 2g of taurine, balanced zinc, 500mg magnesium, 100mg theanine, 50mg Apagenin and 3g of glycine. I have no problem falling asleep but consistently wake up around 3-4am. I recently added some Inositol to help get back to sleep but I can't really remember the last time I went to sleep and woke up the next morning by my alarm clock. Just to note, I'm 45 with 3 kids that also like to pop in our room in the middle of the night. Any tips to help get that 7-8 hours I need?       Tricia: Hello Dr C! I'm 57 and I tested my estrogen and progesterone. I'm of course estrogen dominant. I started taking your progesterone support and gosh it is amazing! My sleep has gotten even better! My question is do you think I should take the estrogen supplement too to help balance the two? Are these usually lifetime supplements for post menopausal women? Thanks     Kevin: Just received my annual labs back for annual physical and total Cholesterol is 299, Triglycerides 70, HDL 105, LDL 180, ratio 3.8, and LDL Direct at 182. I have Hashimoto disease, candida for past couple of years and mycotoxins from mold exposure. I cant afford to move out of house so I'm still exposed. I had a functional doctor but can no longer afford the out of pocket expenses. I was on cholestramine powder along with binders but stopped doing them last year because not helping. I'm really worried about having stroke or heart attack. I don't know where to start anymore and been told without moving nothings going to work. What do you recommend I do.? I plan on purchasing Proteolytic Enzymes with Nattokinase to hopefully reduce plaque. What tests do you think would be best for me?       Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral - hoping you can help! In a country where FM labs aren't an option + entering into mid-40's, surrounded by Perimenopause "fear". I have done your hormone HRA + apart from feeling like I get TRIGGERED a lot easier, I don't have more of the common symptoms (ie night sweats). My cycle the last 2 months was slightly longer but don't want to over think it. I am wondering if there are bloods that can help outline where we are in terms of our hormones (I know saliva is preferable)... I really want to support my hormones, and know you say we can do this naturally well into later life ie 60's! I know estrogen declines + ED is common - would appreciate markers to look at, ranges + if your wife couldn't test what you'd recommend for her :) Thank you for ALL you do! Sienna       Rianna: Hi Dr. Cabral! Sleep it's an area I am REALLY focused on supporting - we know when we are tired everything is harder ;-) & I am all about energy as I move towards my mid-40's.. I track my sleep on Garmin + know you mention Deep Sleep (90 mins) + Rem Sleep (2+ hours) as ideals, but I am no where near there consistently. The only time I get quite close is during my detox. My HRV has improved considerably (almost doubled) since Jan(through substantially reducing alcohol intake + focusing on sleep hygiene). I average on 7 - 7.5 hours sleep, mostly right through or brief wake, + mostly feel great/rested. My REM sleep this morning was 0 minutes (??) - is that reall even possible? 80 mins deep, 6.5 hrs"light" - how much attention would you give it if you feel recharged? Tips? Thx for all you do!     Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3782 - - - 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?

Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, PhD, is a professor of nutritional medicine at Columbia University School of Medicine and an expert on the bidirectional relationship between nutrition and sleep. We discuss how even moderate sleep loss increases appetite, changes hunger-related hormones, and causes weight gain, even when calories are not increased. We also explain how meal timing and specific foods, like fiber, ginger, saturated fat, and various oils, affect sleep onset, sleep quality, and metabolism. Throughout the conversation, we discuss specific foods and diets that directly support weight loss, better sleep, and long-term cardiometabolic health. Read the show notes at hubermanlab.com.

High cholesterol is one of the most common reasons people are told they're at risk for heart disease. But what if cholesterol isn't the root problem? What if it's actually a signal of deeper metabolic dysfunction—and focusing on the number alone causes us to miss what's really driving cardiovascular risk? In today's episode, we explore a functional medicine approach to cholesterol and heart health, including: Why high cholesterol is often a downstream effect of insulin resistance, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction The surprising role sugar, refined carbohydrates, and ultra-processed foods play in driving unhealthy cholesterol patterns How healthy fats, protein, fiber, and gut health influence cholesterol regulation and cardiovascular risk The nutrition and lifestyle changes that can improve metabolic health—and begin shifting key biomarkers in as little as 10 days When it comes to cholesterol, the better question isn't always, "How do I lower this number?" It's, "Why is it elevated in the first place?" By addressing the root causes—from blood sugar imbalance and inflammation to diet, movement, sleep, and stress—you can improve not just your cholesterol, but the underlying metabolic health that drives long-term cardiovascular risk.
