Dr. Daniel Monti is the founding chair of the first integrative medicine department at an American medical university.Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, integrative medicine takes a holistic approach to health, combining conventional Western medicine with mind-body therapies, nutritional medicine, and traditional practices such as acupuncture and herbal medicine.“Integrative medicine,” Monti told me, “has become a subspecialty of medicine with its own board certification. ... To become an integrative medicine doctor, you have to first do your residency in something like internal medicine, neurology, OBGYN, and then do a fellowship in integrative medicine.”Monti, who holds board certifications in both psychiatry/neurology and holistic/integrative medicine, said that integrative physicians “take a deep dive into whole-person health and understanding who the person is.” They look, for example, at genomics, the patient's microbiome, and maximal oxygen consumption.A powerful technique Monti studied in depth is the neuro-emotional technique (NET), developed in the 1980s. It's a mind-body therapy designed to release emotional stress from within the body. And through advanced brain scans, they can see how the brain changes after applying the technique to alleviate distress.NET merges principles from conventional medicine with traditional Chinese medicine and psychology, he says. The goal is to “get at what is underneath the issue that's bothering the person. ... Most of the time I'm experiencing a block in my life in some way. And then we have to kind of figure out what the life experiences were that are contributing to that present-day block.”During the interview, Monti used me as a test subject to demonstrate the integrative medicine technique.We also discuss additional integrative medicine therapies, such as vitamin infusions and stress-reduction treatments. We also dive into a recent study into a powerful antioxidant's power to benefit Parkinson's patients.Monti is the founder and CEO of the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health and chair of the Integrative Medicine and Nutritional Sciences at Sidney Kimmel Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University. He's the co-author of “Brain Weaver” and “Tapestry of Health.”He's also the host of “House Call with Dr. Dan Monti.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

POTS is a real diagnosis, but it isn't always the whole story. In this episode of Bendy Bodies, Dr. Linda Bluestein takes a deep dive into POTS imitators: conditions that can mimic, worsen, or coexist with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and quietly derail treatment progress. Inspired by listener questions and real-world clinical patterns, the episode explores why some people do “everything right” for POTS and still don't improve.The conversation breaks down overlooked contributors like nutrient deficiencies (including pernicious anemia and thiamine deficiency), endocrine and hormonal conditions, mast cell activation, medication effects, sleep disorders, post-infectious syndromes, and neurologic or autoimmune drivers. Dr. Bluestein explains how normal labs can be misleading, why symptoms often appear before classic test abnormalities, and how multiple factors can converge on the same autonomic pathway.Rather than encouraging self-diagnosis, this episode offers a framework for asking better questions, helping listeners recognize red flags, avoid medical ping-pong, and advocate thoughtfully without overwhelming themselves or their clinicians. For anyone living with POTS symptoms that don't fully respond to treatment, this episode provides clarity, context, and a more nuanced way forward. Takeaways: POTS is a pattern, not always a root cause, and multiple conditions can drive the same autonomic symptoms. Normal routine labs do not rule out nutrient deficiencies, including B12 or thiamine deficiency. Hormonal, endocrine, mast cell, and neurologic factors frequently overlap, complicating diagnosis and treatment. Symptoms that persist despite appropriate POTS care are a signal to look deeper, not push harder. Thoughtful pacing and prioritization matter, helping patients avoid burnout while still advocating effectively. Want more Dr. Linda Bluestein, MD?

In this candid conversation, Joseph Croft pulls back the curtain on how Gunnar Optiks emerged from clinical research rather than marketing hype. He describes how early collaboration with optometric researchers highlighted the real drivers of digital eye strain—dramatic reductions in blink rate, tear film evaporation, accommodative lag after prolonged screen use, and loss of contrast—long before “blue light glasses” became a consumer buzzword. Croft explains the engineering decisions behind Gunnar's high-base, close-fit lens geometry designed to improve the micro-environment around the eye, and the rationale for incorporating a small +0.25D boost to offset accommodative drift seen after hours of near work.The discussion is highly relevant to everyday practice, focusing on how ECPs can approach screen-related complaints with the same task-specific mindset used for sports or occupational eyewear. Croft challenges fear-based blue light messaging and instead frames digital lenses as tools for comfort, contrast, and performance. He also shares how many undiagnosed refractive patients are uncovered when they trial low-plus lenses, reinforcing the role of comprehensive exams. Throughout the episode, the emphasis remains on partnership with optometry—using clinical evaluation first, then positioning digital eyewear as a complementary solution rather than a shortcut around professional care.5 Key TakeawaysDigital eye strain is multifactorial. Symptoms stem from blink suppression, tear evaporation, accommodative fatigue, glare, and contrast loss—not simply from “too much blue light.”Frame design can influence ocular comfort. A closer, higher-base fit may help stabilize the tear film by increasing humidity around the eye, similar in concept to moisture-chamber strategies used in dry-eye management.Small plus power can have a big clinical impact. A +0.25D add aligns with research on accommodative lag and mirrors what many ODs already prescribe through anti-fatigue or low-plus computer Rxs.Digital eyewear should be positioned as task-specific equipment. Just as patients accept different glasses for driving or sports, screen use warrants its own optical solution integrated into the exam and dispensing workflow.ECPs remain central to the process.Proper screening for refractive error, binocular vision, and ocular surface disease should come first—digital lenses are meant to support, not replace, comprehensive care.Memorable Quotes“I hate the term blue light glasses. It's a disservice to consumers and to optometry—blue light isn't the enemy; context is.”“You can't run a marathon in loafers. Eyewear should be task-specific just like footwear.”“We're here to help in a massive epidemic of digital eye strain, not just sell another pair of glasses.”Learn more about Gunnar Optiks:Gunnar.comConnect with Joe Croft:Joe@Gunnar.comLove the show?

https://jordanapodaca.com/ What does betrayal trauma actually feel like? Not everyone who experiences infidelity develops trauma. Some people experience grief, anger, and sadness, which are painful, but normal. But for others, it feels like their entire sense of safety, reality, and identity has collapsed. In this video, I break down the 4 major signs of betrayal trauma, how they show up in daily life, and how to tell the difference between normal heartbreak and a nervous system stuck in threat mode. If you've been cheated on and you're wondering: - “Why can't I stop thinking about it?” - “Why do I feel crazy?” - “Why can't I relax even when nothing is happening?” - “Is this normal?” This will help you understand what's really going on. And more importantly, why time alone doesn't fix it. If this resonates, you don't have to figure it out alone. Book a call with me below if you want help going deeper than coping strategies and actually resolving the root of the trauma. ⬇️ Apply to work with me: https://jordanapodaca.com/#free-call

When people hear "eating disorder," they picture a young stick-figure girl in ballet class. But what I see every day? CEOs with anorexia. Lawyers binge eating in office bathrooms. Doctors struggling in silence with exercise compulsion. Corporate executives who haven't eaten lunch in six months because they're "too busy." 73% of women in corporate and professional environments report engaging in at least one disordered eating behavior. And if you're a high-performing woman who feels trapped but can't connect the dots—this episode is for you. Because your workplace might be feeding your eating disorder. And it's time we talked about it. You'll discover: The chilling parallels between corporate culture and eating disorder logic How "dedication" and "discipline" can actually be disordered eating in disguise Why corporate wellness programs trigger eating disorders instead of preventing them The toxic beliefs high-performer culture promotes that fuel disordered eating Signs everyone misses in successful women who are struggling How to audit your workplace culture for ED-triggering behaviors Why your traits might be symptoms—not personality flaws How to redefine success to include your wellbeing The truth: You can be successful AND recovered. Recovery doesn't mean giving up your ambition—it means reclaiming it. THE CHILLING PARALLELS Corporate Culture Says: "I have to earn my lunch—I haven't been productive enough yet" "I can't take a break—everyone's counting on me" "If I rest, I'm falling behind" Eating Disorder Logic Says: "I have to earn my food—I haven't burned enough calories yet" "I can't eat—I have to stay in control" "If I eat, I'm losing control" It's the same framework: Your worth is conditional. Your value is based on performance. And this mindset gets you promoted—while secretly destroying your relationship with food and your body. TOXIC BELIEFS THAT FEED BOTH "Results over rest" - Your body becomes just a vehicle for performance "Discipline equals success" - Until discipline becomes rigid food rules "Mind over matter" - Glorifying disconnection from your body's signals "Optimize everything" - Your body becomes a project to control and perfect "Hustle culture" - Normalizing deprivation of food, rest, and pleasure For someone who's perfectionistic and already anxious, these messages are gasoline on a fire. SIGNS EVERYONE MISSES ✅ First one in, last one out—always "on," can't rest ✅ Skipping meals because you're "too busy" (praised as dedication) ✅ Rigid food rules disguised as "wellness" ("I don't eat carbs," "only clean foods") ✅ Over-exercising every day, even when sick or injured ✅ Talking about your body transactionally ("I earned this meal," "I have to burn this off") ✅ Avoiding work social events that involve food ✅ Exhausted but won't slow down Most of these behaviors are celebrated in high-performer culture—so you don't realize you need help. YOUR WORKPLACE CULTURE AUDIT Ask yourself: Am I praised for skipping meals or working through lunch? Does my company tie wellness to competition or performance metrics? Do I feel pressure to track, optimize, or perform my health? Are boundaries seen as weakness in my workplace? Do I feel like I have to "earn" rest, food, or self-care? Then ask: Am I using work stress as an excuse to control my food? Do I restrict when work gets overwhelming? Do I "earn" meals based on productivity? Am I exercising compulsively to manage work anxiety? If you answered yes to any of these—you're not alone. And you're not crazy. THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR "TRAITS" Those traits you think define you? They might not be who you ARE. They might be symptoms. Symptoms of working in an environment that rewards disordered behaviors. Symptoms of impossible standards that tell you your worth is tied to your output. You are not broken. You're responding exactly how anyone would respond to these systems. REDEFINING SUCCESS True high performance: ✅ Rest is part of the strategy - not a sign of weakness ✅ Nourishment is non-negotiable - your brain needs fuel to perform ✅ Boundaries are a strength - saying no, delegating, protecting your energy ✅ Worth isn't tied to output - you're valuable because you exist ✅ Success includes wellbeing - how you feel matters as much as results Recovery doesn't take away your drive. It redirects it. You stop using discipline to destroy yourself and start using it to build the life you actually want. KEY QUOTES

In this episode of Get Back To It, Dr. Rita Roy speaks with Rich Rabin, a technology and product leader whose life was upended by severe nerve pain caused by an L5–S1 disc herniation. What began as manageable glute pain progressed into debilitating nerve symptoms that affected his sleep, mobility, and overall quality of life. After months of conservative treatments—including physical therapy and injections—Rich ultimately underwent a microdiscectomy to relieve nerve compression.While surgery addressed the primary issue, recovery proved gradual and unpredictable. Rich shares candidly about the mental and emotional challenges of healing, the importance of self-advocacy, and learning that spine recovery is rarely linear.Inspired by his own frustration tracking fluctuating symptoms, Rich created Recoverly, a free iPhone app designed to help patients log daily symptoms and identify trends—supporting clearer communication with healthcare providers.Rich's story is a powerful reminder that healing takes patience; progress isn't always steady, and resilience can grow from even the most difficult setbacks.Support the show

Sounds like “mania.”Gabe shares deeply personal stories about having his ideas dismissed, his ambitions questioned, and his successes doubted, not by strangers, but by the people who loved him most. Dr. Nicole explains why loved ones become hypervigilant, how fear and trauma shape their reactions, and where concern crosses the line into harm. Listen and Learn: learn how to tell the difference between bipolar symptoms and typical human behavior understand why loved ones become hyper-alert and how fear drives their reactions how to have hard conversations without losing your support system why community and peer support matter when loved ones can't let go of fear This episode isn't about denying bipolar symptoms; it's about reclaiming your identity beyond the diagnosis. Because people with bipolar disorder deserve full lives, real dreams, and the freedom to be annoying, excited, ambitious, and human — just like everyone else. Cold Open Transcript: Gabe Howard: I don't think we're allowed to have these thoughts. Let's say that I was a person that did not live with bipolar disorder. And I came up with the pie-in-the-sky idea. The conversation is negative, but it also sort of moves forward. People with bipolar disorder don't get that. We just get shut down immediately, told that this is a symptom of our illness and that we need to cease this line of communication. And so they withdraw all that help, they withdraw all that information, and they leave us to fend for ourselves. Which actually puts us in a worse position.

Dust Mites, Eczema and Allergies: An Overlooked Trigger in KidsThis week on the Natural Super Kids Podcast, we're diving into one of the most commonly overlooked triggers when it comes to eczema and allergies in children: dust mites.Many families focus heavily on food triggers like dairy or gluten, and while those can absolutely play a role, environmental allergens are often quietly contributing in the background. Because dust mites are present all year round not just seasonally like pollens, they can be harder to identify as a cause of ongoing symptoms.In this episode, we unpack how dust mites may be affecting your child's skin, sinuses, and respiratory system and why simply changing diet may not be enough if environmental exposure hasn't been addressed.In this episode, we explore:The signs that dust mites may be contributing to eczema and allergy symptoms especially when symptoms flare overnight or in the morningWhy dust mites can trigger skin, sinus, and respiratory issues year-roundPractical, manageable steps you can take at home to reduce exposureWhy dust mites aren't the root cause (only a trigger) and how immune regulation, gut health, and skin barrier function play a bigger role in long-term improvement

What’s Trending: The Supreme Court has ruled that the tariffs imposed by the Trump Admin were not legal and some conservatives think this is not as bad as you think. Yet again, copper thefts continue to hurt the light rail system, causing one light rail line to be out of commission. There is a new type of flu, flu D. This may be infecting humans without showing any symptoms. // There is an adorable monkey that Jason has come to like in Japan, the monkey was abandoned by his mother and is rejected by other monkeys in the zoo, so the zookeepers gave him a large monkey doll. UFC fighter Sean Strickland is some hot water after he made some sexist comments about the upcoming Rousey vs Carano fight. // Chris Sullivan joins the show to talk about the next round of slowdowns people can expect when driving through Seattle and the surrounding areas.

In this week's Frankly, Nate looks at how aggregate human behavior changes as groups scale from small tribes to large and complex societies. He uses the framing of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde throughout the episode to illustrate how traits that once helped small groups survive can serve to destabilize complex societies when expanded globally. Rather than a moral failing of the human species, he frames the more-than-human predicament as a predictable outcome that emerges when human instincts operate at large scales. Nate also walks through the layers that make up the reality we experience. He starts with the major symptoms that increasingly draw our attention today like global heating, biodiversity loss, and geopolitical tensions. He then emphasizes that these surface problems are driven by recurring systemic patterns, which are kept in place by society-scale driving forces. The episode closes by asking the audience to reflect on what responsibility and agency look like in a world where powerful incentives shape collective outcomes. Where do we see societal thresholds when scale removes the natural limits that once kept us in balance? How can we be aware of reinforcing deeper societal forces while trying to solve for symptoms? And if our instincts helped us survive in the past, what might a system that works to balance human nature and biophysical reality look like?

With case fatality rates reported as high as 75% and periodic outbreaks in South and Southeast Asia, NiV often generates alarming media coverage and pandemic speculation.

Most symptoms we're dealing with as active women and runners aren't random at all, but are instead clues our body is trying to give us.In this episode, Louise, a multi-award-winning women's integrative health practitioner, shares three powerful lessons from her own health journey and client experiences that every woman should know, especially during perimenopause. She explains how hormone shifts can impact everything from medical testing accuracy to inflammation, fat loss resistance, stress sensitivity, and even unexpected symptoms like canker sores. One key insight is the importance of timing medical screenings, such as breast MRIs, with your menstrual cycle to improve accuracy. Another is the complex relationship between estrogen, histamine, and hormone replacement therapy, and how individual genetics can influence reactions.Louise also highlights how stress, calorie restriction, and hormonal fluctuations can trigger symptoms that seem unrelated, and offers practical strategies to manage acute issues while still addressing root causes like gut health and hormone balance.This episode is a reminder that women's health is highly individualized. Understanding your unique physiology, tracking patterns, and using targeted strategies can help you feel more in control, improve performance, and support long-term health through every stage of life.Explore my "All About Gut Health" and other masterclasses here: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/store Link to my FullScript where you can see curated best supplement picks and save 20%: https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/breakingthroughwellness/store-start Learn and level up with my free nutrition guide and award-winning Badass Breakthrough Academy to thrive through perimenopause with less stress: https://www.breakingthroughwellness.com/Take advantage of our podcast listener discount and save 20% off all of Kion's science-backed clean products.

Zwei Zuhörerfragen, ein roter Faden: Leistungsheterogenität. In dieser Folge sprechen Joscha und Sako darüber, warum „fehlende Technik“ oft nur ein Symptom ist, wieso der Vergleich mit den Besten die Sicht verzerrt und wie du mit Differenzierung, passenden Spielformen und einem besseren Rahmen dafür sorgst, dass alle Kinder Erfolgserlebnisse sammeln - vom E-Jugend-Training bis zu Bambini/G-Jugend.

In this episode, I'm sharing something deeply personal — my recent move, my allergy journey, and how I'm continuing to lean into the mind-body (TMS) lens when symptoms flare up.If you've ever felt like your symptoms don't fully “make sense” — reacting one day but not the next, feeling worse in a “safe” place than a moldy one — this conversation will resonate.I walk you through how I'm choosing to see my allergies as TMS (mind-body symptoms), what that actually looks like in real time, and how I'm holding the experience lightly instead of reacting with fear.We also dive into coaching around:Feeling stuck in low-carb purgatoryFear around tracking and food controlResistance to getting a ketone monitorDigestive struggles while increasing fatGallbladder support without pushing detox too hardWhy ketosis can feel restrictive — but actually create freedomThe nervous system side of metabolic healingBook a call with me to learn more about the program: https://calendly.com/daniellehamiltonhealth/discoverycall Enroll today! https://dhhealth.showitpreview.com/blood-sugar-mastery STAY IN TOUCH WITH ME:

Hey, Heal Squad! What happens when your body literally forces you to slow down? Sometimes it shows up as a cold… sometimes a diagnosis… and sometimes something much bigger. That's exactly what happened to Kerrie Lee Brown, Editor-in-Chief of SUCCESS Magazine and now a passionate heart-health advocate. In honor of Heart Health Month, Kerrie shares the story of the heart event that changed everything at just 39 years old. She was at the peak of her career, juggling life and family, and brushing off subtle symptoms she now realizes were serious warning signs.In this episode, you'll learn what those early signs looked like (and why they're often different in women), plus the 10 signals your body may be asking you to slow down. More importantly, we talk about why doing more isn't always sustainable,  and how learning to say no, protecting your energy, and removing constant urgency can actually support long-term health and healing. If nothing else, let this conversation be your reminder to start listening to your body sooner. HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Your body warns you long before a crisis: Symptoms like fatigue, breathlessness, headaches, and unusual pain aren't “normal busy life” they're early signals asking you to pay attention. Burnout isn't strength, it's stress accumulating: High achievers often push through(out of guilt or productivity pressure), but ignoring limits doesn't build resilience, it builds risk. Prevention lives in daily habits and boundaries: Regulating stress, resting without guilt, and protecting your energy can change your health trajectory more than powering through ever will.

In this episode, we talk about one of the most confusing and discouraging moments for parents raising a child with OCD, when things seem to get worse right as you start doing the right things.Many parents interpret a sudden spike in distress, anger, or compulsions as a sign that therapy is not working. But often, this increase in symptoms is actually a sign that OCD feels threatened. When OCD accommodations are reduced or exposures begin, OCD does not quietly step aside, it escalates. This episode explains why that happens and what it means for your child's recovery.You will learn what an extinction burst looks like in real life, how to tell the difference between a true setback and a growth spike, and why your child may appear more dysregulated even though they are building resilience. We also talk about the most common mistakes parents make during this phase, like backing off boundaries too quickly or returning to reassurance out of fear, and how those well-intended responses can accidentally strengthen OCD.Most importantly, this episode focuses on how to stay grounded as a parent when your child is struggling more. We cover what supportive responses sound like, how to emotionally hold your child without feeding OCD, and how to keep your long-term goals in mind when short-term distress shows up.If you have ever thought, “We were doing better, why is this suddenly worse?” this episode will help you understand what is really happening and how to stay the course with confidence and compassion.Video: OCD is Like an Octopus⚠️ Grab any courses you have wanted before our pricing goes up on March 1, 2026 at AT Parenting Survival School***This podcast episode is sponsored by NOCD.

With February being heart health month you may be thinking more about your specific signs or symptoms you may have been feeling. Here's the truth about the heart... Heart‑related symptoms often show up vaguely at first. Subtle palpitations during a meeting or increased heartrate at night when the house finally goes quiet and you are laying down trying to fall asleep. So you do what you know to do... make an appointment and share your concerns. Tests come back normal. Labs look fine. Yet the symptoms remain. This disconnect leaves many high‑achieving women anxious, confused, and questioning their body. From a holistic functional perspective, this is rarely a true heart failure issue...it's a stress‑driven physiology issue. Your stress may not be going away any time soon but you can help your body adapt better to the stress you are living through.  Stress is the root cause of your heart giving you the symptoms and signs it is giving you. Subtly at first and then more often as your body ramps up communication... aka starts yelling at you.  Bottom line, your body needs to feel safe to heal and recover especially from stress related fatigue conditions.  I pray this episode blesses you!

Andrea Jones-Rooy — data scientist, comedian, and fire-eating acrobat — talks candidly about feeling like a failure even when all evidence points to the contrary. With sharp humor and vulnerability, she describes having “no self-esteem” (not low — none), limited willpower, and a reliance on fear and external pressure to get things done.Andrea, who hosts the podcast Behind the Data, gives herself very little grace. She remains skeptical of her ADHD diagnosis. But one ADHD challenge feels impossible to dismiss: time blindness. Together, Andrea and Laura explore what it means to be present — and why that presence often comes more easily at work or on stage, where the stakes feel high, than with the people we love most.For more on this topicRead: ADHD and time blindnessListen: Behind the Data podcastFor a transcript and more resources, visit ADHD Aha! on Understood.org.

If you want to get leaner and live longer check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com Is your healthy routine feeding hidden infections that cause brain fog and bloating? Why do most probiotics fail to fix a damaged gut? I talk with Dr. Michael Biamonte about Candida and dysbiosis. He explains how he used engineering to reverse engineer illness. We discuss how Candida mutates to survive and why rotating herbs every four days stops the cycle. He shares why iron and vitamin D feed infections. We cover the link between gut issues and autoimmune conditions. He details how biocybernetics identifies imbalances. He highlights the need to clear toxins before adding probiotics. We explore how to find the cause of health issues instead of covering symptoms with medications. Key Takeaways Rotate different antifungal herbs every four days to prevent Candida from mutating and becoming drug-resistant. Antifungals create oxidative stress, so taking antioxidants like Vitamin A or CoQ10 during treatment can stop them from working. Lower the Candida load before taking probiotics because the fungus repels bacteria through polarity. Candida needs iron and Vitamin D to survive, so taking these supplements during an active infection may feed the fungus. Dysbiosis blocks detoxification pathways, making it difficult for cleanses to work until the biome is corrected. Leaky gut syndrome allows toxins and proteins to enter the bloodstream, which triggers most autoimmune conditions. Biocybernetics uses blood and urine tests to analyze physiological self-regulation and find imbalances before they become diseases. Symptoms like brain fog and bloating often follow a specific progression from digestion issues to memory loss and rashes. "You don't have a drug deficiency"; medications typically mask symptoms rather than fixing the underlying imbalance.

Have you ever heard of inositol? Could you be deficient and not even realize it? If you're struggling with blood sugar swings, irregular cycles, anxiety, or 2am wake-ups, could this overlooked compound be a missing piece? While magnesium, B vitamins, and electrolytes dominate most wellness conversations, myo-inositol plays a critical role in insulin signaling, ovarian function, and neurotransmitter balance, acting as an intracellular messenger that helps your cells properly respond to hormonal cues. This episode unpacks what myo-inositol actually is, how it functions in the body, and what the research shows in areas like PCOS, insulin resistance, fertility, mood disorders, and sleep. It also covers therapeutic dosing, food sources, and how to use supplementation strategically for clinical outcomes. Whether you're navigating hormone imbalance, metabolic dysfunction, or nervous system dysregulation, this conversation takes a deeper look at why myo-inositol deserves far more attention in root-cause medicine.

Menopause can feel confusing — but perimenopause can be even more frustrating because so many women are told, "You're fine," while they feel anything but fine. In this episode of Living Life Naturally, Lynne sits down with Denise Stegall — founder of Healthy Living with Denise, international best-selling author of Healthy Living, Happy Life, and widely known as the Menopause Mentor. Denise shares what sparked her own deep dive into perimenopause support after experiencing unexplained symptoms in her late 30s — and why one of the most powerful first steps is also the simplest: track your symptoms. You'll learn how understanding hormone fluctuations can help you communicate more effectively with your provider, advocate for yourself, and make supportive changes without feeling overwhelmed. This conversation also dives into the "midlife musts" Denise teaches women every day — including strength training, mobility and flexibility work, and why bone density and prevention matter so much after menopause. Denise brings a warm, no-nonsense voice to a topic that's often brushed aside — and helps reframe this season as one where you can get clear, get proactive, and feel more like yourself again. In this episode, we cover: Denise's story: symptoms at 37 and what led her into menopause wellness What perimenopause really is (and why it's missed so often) Why a simple symptom list changes your doctor conversations Hormone basics: estrogen, progesterone, cortisol — and how they interact Finding the right support: menopause-informed providers + holistic practitioners Post-menopause prevention: bone density, muscle building, and heart health Why strength + mobility matter so much in midlife Supplement common sense: quality, reputable sourcing, and what to ask first Denise's approach to nutrition, decisions, and personal accountability Free Resource from Denise Stegall: The Nervous System Reset (3-day reset) https://menopausementormn.com/nervous-system-reset Connect with Denise: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MenopauseMentorMN Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/menopausementormn/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@menopausementormn LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/menopausementormn/ Connect with Lynne: Website: https://holistic-healthandwellness.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/holistichealthandwellnessllc Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/energized.healthy.women Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lynnewadsworth LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynnewadsworth If you want a gentle chat about next steps, schedule time with me here: https://calendly.com/lynnewadsworth/30min Free Resources from Lynne: 5 Essential Steps for Flourishing in Menopause: https://holistic-healthandwellness.com/flourish-in-midlife/ Midlife Morning Menu (freebie): https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/8q1mf8y6z9mqhys39ep4r/Midlife-Morning-Menu.pdf Did you enjoy the podcast?

In this episode, Lisa sits down with registered nurse and endometriosis advocate Jenneh Rishe to explore her experience with diaphragmatic endometriosis — a form of the disease that presented with chest pain, shortness of breath, and right upper abdominal pain rather than the classic pelvic symptoms most practitioners associate with endo. Jenneh shares how years of hormonal suppression, including being prescribed the pill on top of an existing IUD, delayed her path to a confirmed diagnosis. This episode underscores the importance of specialist care, early diagnosis, and a multidisciplinary approach to endometriosis treatment.

Or maybe you don't have an “official” diagnosis… but you've got classic histamine intolerance symptoms like anxiety, reflux, bloating, eczema, dizziness, insomnia, or weird food reactions… and you're wondering if histamine is the problem? Or you've tried all the things to treat high histamine - low histamine diet, histamine intolerance supplements like DAO, even a full-on histamine intolerance treatment plan from another practitione - but you still have histamine symptoms, so you're asking: why won't my histamine calm down?

In this episode, Dr. Stephen Cabral joins Doug Larson and Dr. Mike Lane to break down how he went from a decade-long "idiopathic illness" in his teens to building one of the biggest health education platforms in the space, including more than 3,600 daily podcast episodes. Cabral shares the turning points in his own recovery: years of heavy antibiotic exposure, chronic stress, gut dysbiosis (candida, H. pylori, SIBO), and even mercury accumulation from frequent tuna intake. That personal case study becomes the foundation for how he now thinks about root-cause medicine versus symptom suppression, and why conventional care often waits until labs fall out of range before acting. The conversation dives into Cabral's framework for how chronic issues typically develop: nervous system stress leads to endocrine disruption, which then cascades into immune dysfunction, often amplified by gut-driven inflammation. He explains a clear process-of-elimination approach to gut health, why bile flow and motility have become increasingly important as the science has evolved, and how stress management is often the missing link. Cabral also breaks down why resonance breathing can be one of the fastest ways to shift physiology, how he uses wearables like Oura and HRV tools without overwhelming clients, and why the best plan is always the one someone will actually follow. Finally, the group zooms out to the future of health and longevity. They discuss biological age testing, emerging longevity research, and the realities of training and recovery as you get older. Cabral shares how his practice balances structured lab testing, repeatable protocols, and ongoing accountability so clients don't just get a plan, but learn how to sustain results long term.

Welcome to Part 1 of our special bone health mini-series, featuring Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein, Dr. Jessica Shepherd, personal trainer Debra Atkinson, and PhD researcher Dr. Darren Candow. In this episode, we discuss the impact of contraceptive use on bone health, especially in young women, and explore how underfueling and relative energy deficiency can contribute to serious bone health issues early in life. We highlight the strong connection between thyroid health and bone health, and clarify how frequently, how much, and how intensely we should strength train to best support our bones. We examine the potential long-term benefits of vibration plates, address concerns with current osteoporosis screening guidelines, and explain why assessing women's bone health earlier is crucial. Finally, we review the latest research on creatine monohydrate and its promising impact on bone health. I sincerely hope you enjoy Part 1 of this mini-series, which sets the stage for understanding lifelong bone health. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How underfueling, overtraining, and oral contraceptives can limit bone development  The value of strength training and impact-based exercise for preserving bone density, supporting metabolic health, and reducing fracture risk How even a few minutes of impact exercise per day can stimulate bone strength  How vibration plates can complement strength and impact training Why declining estrogen during perimenopause and menopause increases the risk of osteoporosis and fractures as women age The benefits of weight training, resistance exercises, Pilates, and water aerobics for improving bone density and maintaining muscle strength How creatine supplementation combined with resistance training or structured exercise can help preserve bone strength in postmenopausal women How creatine alone, without physical activity, shows no meaningful benefit Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community: The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow  Cynthia's Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!
