Most people react to whatever is right in front of them. The problem is, what's visible isn't always what's meaningful. A symptom gets your attention, but it doesn't necessarily tell you what actually needs to be fixed. In this masterclass, I'm breaking down the difference between managing symptoms and solving problems. I explain why the first explanation is usually incomplete, why you need to keep asking questions, and why fixing the underlying signal can eliminate the symptoms altogether. Show Notes: [04:11]#1 Symptoms demand attention. [08:16]#2 The first explanation is usually incomplete, if not the wrong explanation. [14:45]#3 When you solve the signal, the symptoms disappear.

Why don't narcissists change—even when their behavior is hurting the people closest to them? In this episode of Help! I Have a Narcissist in My Life, Laurel Slade-Waggoner explains the narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) symptom loop and how narcissistic behaviors can reinforce one another in a destructive cycle. You'll learn how a narcissist's belief in their own specialness can feed entitlement, lack of empathy, manipulation, exploitation, grandiosity, and the need for excessive admiration—and how those patterns can ultimately reinforce the beliefs that started the cycle. If you've spent years hoping the narcissist in your life will finally listen, understand how much they're hurting you, accept correction, or change their behavior, this episode will help you better understand the pattern you may be dealing with.
Discover how holistic health practitioner Sharon Greenspan reversed her advanced ankylosing spondylitis not through medical protocols, but through mindset shifts, metaphysics, and somatic body connection. In this insightful episode of MindBody Medicine for Self-Healers hosted by Sarah Dawkins, Sharon shares her powerful healing journey from trauma, depression and physical rigidity to total self-trust, emotional freedom, and inner peace. Learn why chronic symptoms carry hidden wisdom, how to shift from victimhood to empowerment, and why changing your perspective is more powerful than looking for a quick fix.Key Information and Time Stamps05:12 The Metaphysics of the Spine: Sharon realised her spine was literally building a physical backbone because she lacked an emotional "backbone" in life, having been raised to be seen and not heard. Through yoga, mindset shifts, and letting go of rigid patterns, she avoided spinal fusion and can still perform a full backbend.12:39 Moving from Symptoms to Root Causes: Instead of defaulting to quick fixes, pills, or obsessing over fighting symptoms, Sharon emphasises tuning into the body to understand what symptoms are trying to communicate.14:21 Reframing Chronic Pain and Nervous System Regulation: For individuals struggling with nervous system dysregulation or chronic pain, Sharon suggests starting small by anchoring awareness to neutral body parts with few nerve endings, like the earlobe or tip of the nose, before moving toward a state of relaxation.27:22 The Power of Being "Dulu" (Delusional): Sharon and Sarah discuss the concept of being "dulu"—visualising and feeling the future you want in your body (the "what") without worrying about the logistical "how," as the universe often brings the how in unexpected ways.30:54 Practical Self-Healing Exercise: For anyone newly diagnosed or struggling with chronic pain, Sharon recommends sitting quietly, breathing, and noticing the physical sensations in the body—observing qualities like temperature, texture, and colour without labelling them as good or bad.Sharon's bio Sharon Greenspan works with people who have “tried everything” to heal—diets, supplements, protocols—and still aren't seeing results, helping them to finally understand why.After reversing her own ankylosing spondylitis and overcoming years of anger and depression, she now blends energy medicine, emotional healing and nutrition to guide deep, lasting transformation.A Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, Nutritionist, Life Coach, and international speaker, she helps clients break free from emotional eating, regulate their nervous systems, and return to self-trust, vitality, and inner peace.Connect with Sharonwww.SharonGreenspan.comhttps://www.instagram.com/wild.successhttps://www.facebook.com/wildsuccess

Welcome to the September Q&A! Today we kick things off with your answers to the question, “What did people say when they found out you were planning a home birth?” From being told you're putting your baby in danger and that you'll end up in the ER to family members questioning your midwife, calling you brave, or even threatening to tell your husband not to let you, you had a lot to say.Then we get into your questions. One mother is seven weeks pregnant after a 12-week miscarriage earlier this year that resulted in significant hemorrhage and an ambulance transfer. Her midwife has recommended a miscarriage prevention protocol that includes baby aspirin, progesterone cream, and supplements. Is there evidence that these interventions prevent miscarriage after a single loss, and are there additional considerations when there's a history of hemorrhage?Next, a mother who recently had her first baby at home noticed that her baby's umbilical cord was quite short, making it difficult to bring her baby fully up to her chest during her water birth. She's considering a free birth in the future and wants to know whether having a short cord once makes it more likely to happen again, what determines cord length, and whether a short cord poses any particular risks during birth.Then, a listener asks about a home birth she recently attended where the mother pushed for two to two and a half hours, her contractions eventually stopped, and the baby was not descending. The mother ultimately transferred to the hospital, but could rest have been another option? We discuss what it means when contractions stop during pushing, when a long second stage becomes concerning, and what might help labor get going again.Quickies this month include suddenly resenting your pets after having a baby, homeschooling, tandem breastfeeding a newborn and three-year-old, normal pumping output, pacifier use while breastfeeding, C-section after a traumatic shoulder dystocia, measuring three days behind on an early ultrasound, trying again after miscarriage, weaning from exclusive pumping, showering and self-care postpartum, postpartum anxiety improving around nine months, postpartum care after stillbirth, sleep versus exercise versus sunlight, postpartum depression and anxiety in fathers, grounding yourself during anxiety, and whether postpartum depression is more likely to recur with subsequent babies.Call us with your questions, comments or stories at 802-GET-DOWN!#385 | The Lindsay Clancy Case: Postpartum Psychosis or Psychiatric Drug Reaction? with Dr. Roger McFillinPostpartum Psychosis: The Signs, Risks, Symptoms and RecoveryLivestream: Should we homeschool?

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared closes out the Intelligence of Symptoms series by looking at fatigue, water retention, depression, and anxiety through a different lens. Could these symptoms be signals that the body is asking for something rather than problems that simply need to be suppressed? Jared explores the roles of sleep, chronic stress, screen time, circadian rhythm, electrolytes, digestion, nutrition, and the gut-brain connection. He also examines the long-standing chemical imbalance theory of depression, discusses MTHFR and folic acid metabolism, and shares Jen's personal experience with mental health and nutrition. The goal is not to ignore serious symptoms, but to ask better questions about what may be driving them and how supporting the body's normal function can help restore resilience.Additional Information:***Watch for all 4 parts of this series on Symptoms!671: Are We Medicalizing the Human Experience? with Dr. Roger McFillinVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

If Alzheimer's runs in your family, you may find yourself wondering: Is this going to happen to me?You may worry about losing your memory, your independence, or your ability to make your own decisions. And every forgotten name or misplaced pair of glasses can suddenly feel a little more loaded.But here's what I want you to know: your genes are not your destiny.We now know that the brain changes associated with Alzheimer's can begin 10, 20, or even 30 years before noticeable symptoms appear. And while that may sound scary at first, there's another way to look at it: that long runway may give us an important window for Alzheimer's prevention.In this episode, I'm breaking down what prevention actually means in real life. We'll talk about preclinical Alzheimer's, amyloid and tau, the prevention trials testing whether treating earlier can protect cognitive function, and a finding involving people in their 50s and early 60s that I found particularly encouraging.Because the goal isn't simply to avoid an Alzheimer's diagnosis.It's to stay sharp, curious, independent, and fully engaged in your life for as long as possible.WHAT TO LISTEN FOR00:00 — What Alzheimer's prevention really means in real life. It's about more than keeping a blood test negative. It's about protecting your memory, independence, judgment, relationships, and ability to live life on your terms.03:47 — Myth #1: “Alzheimer's runs in my family, so I'm probably going to get it.” Learn why family history and APOE4 can affect risk without determining your future.06:11 — Myth #2: Alzheimer's is a disease of old age. The symptoms may appear later in life, but Alzheimer's-related brain changes can begin 10, 20, or even 30 years earlier.07:18 — What “preclinical Alzheimer's” actually means. You can have Alzheimer's-related biological changes while still thinking normally, working, driving, and managing everyday life.09:03 — Amyloid vs. tau: the wildfire analogy. Amyloid may act more like kindling, while the spread of tau appears to track more closely with brain-cell loss and cognitive decline.13:33 — Are we treating Alzheimer's too late? Learn what the AHEAD and TRAILBLAZER-ALZ prevention trials are testing in people who are still cognitively normal.15:42 — The midlife finding I found especially encouraging. Researchers stopped screening 55- to 64-year-olds for one major prevention trial because so many weren't reaching the required p-tau217 blood-test cutoff.18:07 — Why “earlier treatment” doesn't automatically mean “better choice.” Anti-amyloid drugs can have serious risks, which means preventing or delaying the need for treatment remains an important goal.20:14 — Prevention vs. cure vs. reversal. These words aren't interchangeable. Learn what each would actually mean for Alzheimer's disease—and where medicine stands today.27:00 — Why I want us to aim higher than “not getting dementia.” Meet the “superagers” and consider a new goal: building a brain that stays sharp, curious, resilient, and engaged as you age.Alzheimer's prevention doesn't have to begin with a brain scan, blood test, or prescription. For most healthy people, it can begin much earlier—with the daily choices that support a stronger, more resilient brain.So instead of asking only, How do I avoid dementia?, let's aim higher: How do I give myself the best possible chance of staying cognitively strong as I age?Listen to the full episode, subscribe to Happy & Healthy with Amy, and download my free RESTORED Protocol to learn the eight essential protective factors you can start working on now.Episode about ARIA and anti-amyloid treatment risks:https://youtu.be/sjof-a6ow6MAnti-Amyloid Treatment Checklist:https://www.amylangcoaching.com/treatmentchecklistNational Institute on Aging:https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/alzheimers-caregivingAlzheimer's Association:https://www.alz.org/help-support/caregivingRESOURCES:Take the Quiz: Is It Just Brain Fog?

Pregnancy can bring major changes to digestion and bowel habits. But if you're already living with irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C), bloating, abdominal discomfort, or chronic constipation, it can be difficult to know what's related to pregnancy—and what may be related to your digestive condition. In this episode of the Gastro Girl Health Podcast, Dr. Lin Chang, Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a leading expert in disorders of gut-brain interaction and women's digestive health, explains what patients should know about IBS-C and constipation during pregnancy. You'll learn: • How pregnancy-related constipation differs from IBS-C • Why IBS symptoms may change during pregnancy • What may contribute to increased bloating and constipation • Diet and lifestyle strategies to discuss with your healthcare provider • What to know about the low-FODMAP diet during pregnancy • Treatment and medication considerations • Symptoms that shouldn't automatically be attributed to IBS or pregnancy If you're pregnant—or planning a pregnancy—and live with IBS-C or chronic constipation, this conversation can help you better understand your symptoms and prepare for conversations with your healthcare team. This patient education episode was produced by Gastro Girl in collaboration with the American College of Gastroenterology Patient Care Committee. #IBSC #Pregnancy #Constipation #IBS #Bloating #DigestiveHealth
Could we be looking at blood sugar all wrong? In this episode, Amber Warren, PA-C sits down with Ellie Anderson, MHS, RDN, LD, registered dietitian, integrative health practitioner, speaker, and founder of Elevated Integrative Wellness, to explore the deeper factors that influence blood sugar regulation, metabolic health, and the body's ability to adapt to stress. Rather than focusing only on food, calories, or medications, Ellie explains why understanding the nervous system and the body's protective mechanisms is essential to addressing the root cause of metabolic dysfunction. Ellie breaks down the connection between blood sugar, chronic stress, nervous system dysregulation, cortisol, inflammation, and metabolic flexibility. The conversation explores how the body responds to ongoing stress, why chronically elevated blood sugar can contribute to inflammation and accelerated aging, and how advanced glycation end products may affect the health of bones, joints, cartilage, and connective tissues. The conversation also dives into the importance of foundational health, including gut health, digestion, sleep, circadian rhythm, nervous system regulation, and balanced meals. Ellie explains why she often begins by supporting the gut and nervous system before using tools like continuous glucose monitors, and why simple habits such as getting outside, watching the sunrise and sunset, limiting screen exposure, getting adequate sleep, and pairing carbohydrates with protein and healthy fats can create a stronger foundation for metabolic health. Amber and Ellie also discuss why the growing focus on peptides, biohacking, and quick fixes can sometimes distract from the underlying causes of dysfunction. Instead of constantly searching for the next supplement, medication, or intervention, they emphasize the importance of consistency, discipline, safety, and reconnecting with the body's natural ability to regulate and adapt. Whether you're struggling with blood sugar imbalance, metabolic dysfunction, chronic stress, inflammation, poor sleep, gut issues, or simply want to better understand how the nervous system and lifestyle influence metabolic health, this episode offers a deeper look at the root causes behind these issues and why the basics may be more powerful than we realize. In this episode, you'll learn: How blood sugar regulation is influenced by more than just diet The connection between blood sugar, metabolic health, and metabolic flexibility Why chronic stress can keep the body in a prolonged protective state How nervous system dysregulation can influence blood sugar and metabolism The relationship between chronically elevated blood sugar and inflammation What advanced glycation end products are and how they relate to aging Why gut health and digestion can be foundational to metabolic health Why healing the gut may be prioritized before using a continuous glucose monitor How sleep deprivation and circadian rhythm disruption can affect blood sugar regulation Why getting outside and connecting with natural light can support daily regulation How balanced meals containing carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats can support blood sugar Why consistency and foundational lifestyle habits matter more than constant biohacking The potential limitations of relying on peptides and other quick fixes without addressing root causes How stress, sleep, technology, and modern lifestyle patterns can affect both adults and children Why the body should be viewed as a whole rather than treating individual symptoms in isolation Why understanding and supporting the body's protective mechanisms can be a key part of lasting health Stay tuned for more conversations on functional medicine, metabolic health, blood sugar regulation, nervous system health, gut health, inflammation, root-cause medicine, women's health, longevity, and optimizing your health from the inside out!
In this episode, we're talking about one of the biggest mistakes we can make with our health: treating the leaves instead of looking at the roots. Symptoms, abnormal lab results, and health problems are often treated as problems to be fixed, but what if they're actually clues pointing to something more meaningful? Let's remind ourselves why a root-cause approach to health can change the way we think about everything from chronic symptoms to the changes that start showing up in midlife. Instead of simply managing problems as they appear, learn how to start asking better questions about why they're happening in the first place so you can build a healthier body from the roots up and give yourself a better chance of aging well.my website: www.healthcouragecollective.comAre you ready to give your cells their best chance to not have to stop living before they die by allowing them access to physiologic levels of hormones, but aren't sure how to even get started?

Women may live with pain, heavy or difficult periods, postnatal symptoms, hormonal changes, or other concerns for years because they have come to see them as simply part of being a woman. But while a symptom may be common, that does not necessarily mean it should be accepted without further assessment. In this episode of Focused Practice Conversations, practice operations expert Matt Woollard speaks with Dr Sneha Wadhwani, GP and National Clinical Director of Evoca Women's Health, about the women's health presentations that can sometimes be minimised or overlooked in general practice. The conversation explores how GPs can recognise when a seemingly routine concern warrants a deeper look, the questions that may uncover important information, and how continuity of care can help connect symptoms that might otherwise appear unrelated. Dr Wadhwani also discusses where knowledge and confidence gaps can affect women's health consultations, and simple ways GPs can approach these conversations more confidently. Looking to expand your women's health expertise? Evoca's Annual Women's Health Conference brings together leading experts for a full day covering menopause, pelvic pain, fertility, breast health, pelvic floor disorders, and more, with a strong focus on primary care.
Vestibular migraine often causes dizziness, imbalance and motion sensitivity without a severe headache, so many people spend months or even years treating the wrong condition before receiving the correct diagnosis Looking at all of your symptoms together instead of treating each one separately makes it much easier to recognize vestibular migraine and begin a treatment plan that targets the underlying neurological problem Keeping a detailed symptom journal helps uncover your personal trigger pattern, allowing you to identify factors such as poor sleep, stress, skipped meals, weather changes or certain foods before they lead to another attack Symptoms such as brain fog, light and sound sensitivity, blurred vision, motion sickness and feeling worse in busy visual environments provide important clues that your dizziness may be part of vestibular migraine rather than an inner ear disorder Long-term symptom management may benefit from reducing the triggers that repeatedly overload your nervous system while supporting healthy cellular energy production, rather than simply trying to stop dizziness after an attack begins
What exactly is male depression? Well, depression in men doesn't always look like sadness.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Erick Bothun, M.D. Normally, our eyes work together, providing us with one single image and providing accurate depth perception. However, when there's misalignment of the eyes and they don't point in the same direction, that's known as strabismus. It's much more than a cosmetic issue; a variety of complications can develop if strabismus isn't treated. Primary care clinicians are usually the first healthcare contact of those with strabismus, and it becomes important for us to recognize it and arrange proper referral for management. Does strabismus only occur in children? How does it differ from amblyopia? What is the treatment and how effective is it? I'll get answers to these questions and more as we discuss “Strabismus: Symptoms, Causes and Treatment” with my guest Dr. Erick Bothun, a pediatric ophthalmologist at the Mayo Clinic.
Postpartum psychosis is a serious psychiatric emergency, but it's a topic that is often misunderstood, especially when news coverage focuses on the most tragic cases. In this episode, Allison Egidi talks with Laudy Burgos, a clinical social worker who specializes in perinatal mood disorders and serves in leadership roles with Postpartum Support International. Together, they take a closer look at what postpartum psychosis actually is, how it differs from postpartum depression and anxiety, and what families need to know about recognizing the signs. Laudy explains that postpartum psychosis involves a loss of connection with reality and can include hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, severe confusion, dramatic changes in behavior, agitation, rapid speech, and unusual or impulsive behavior. Symptoms can wax and wane, which can sometimes make the condition difficult for loved ones to recognize. The conversation also covers: How postpartum psychosis differs from postpartum depression and anxiety The signs and symptoms family members and partners should watch for Why a significant change from someone's usual behavior can be an important warning sign How sleep and insomnia can factor into postpartum psychosis The difference between being sleep-deprived because you're caring for a newborn and being unable to sleep even when you have the opportunity Risk factors, including bipolar disorder, a previous experience with postpartum psychosis, and a family history of bipolar disorder or psychosis When postpartum psychosis typically begins after childbirth Why someone experiencing psychosis may not recognize that anything is wrong What partners and loved ones should do if they are concerned Why postpartum psychosis should be treated as a psychiatric emergency What hospitalization and treatment can look like The importance of ongoing support, sleep, therapy, medication management, and family support during recovery Why the tragic cases that make the news do not represent the majority of people who experience postpartum psychosis The importance of talking about postpartum psychosis with both urgency and compassion Resources available through Postpartum Support International and the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline Most importantly, Laudy emphasizes that postpartum psychosis is an illness, not a choice or a reflection of someone's ability to be a good mother. With early detection and appropriate treatment, recovery is possible. Important: Postpartum psychosis is a medical and psychiatric emergency. If you believe someone may be experiencing postpartum psychosis, seek immediate professional help. In the episode, Laudy recommends contacting a psychiatrist who understands this emergency when possible, or going to the nearest emergency room/calling 911 if necessary to get someone to care safely.

Are you taking medications... because of your other medications? It sounds like a trick question. But when family nurse practitioner Nurse Alice reviews patient medication lists, she sees it all the time. A routine pill for blood pressure or cholesterol gets started. Months later, a new symptom creeps in—swollen ankles, heartburn, or muscle soreness. Naturally, most people assume it's just aging or a brand-new health condition, report it to their provider, and walk out with another prescription. Before you know it, you're taking pills just to manage the collateral damage of other pills. In healthcare, this hidden domino effect is called a "Prescribing Cascade." In this episode, Nurse Alice breaks down how prescribing cascades happen, the three most common drug loops to watch for, and her practical 4-Step Medication Action Plan to protect yourself and your loved ones from drug stacking. This isn't about stopping your prescriptions on your own. It's about asking better questions, taking charge of your care, and making sure your medication routine is actually helping you—not just chasing side effects Listen in, and let's get smart about your health.

Listen to the rest of this premium episode by subscribing at patreon.com/knowyourenemy.A sundowning, octogenarian president radically out of step with the country's mood, surrounded by Yes Men (and Women), cowards, and idiots, whose administration and party are plunging in popularity as war rages on: it's deja vu all over again, this time expressed through the pathological personage that is Donald Trump. As his second term fails and his attacks on the very foundations of effective government becoming ever-more apparent, the morbid symptoms are piling up—Trump's fantastical retreat into building projects, his posting through the A.I. revolution, ongoing obsession with JFK and the Kennedys, and more—we take stock and discuss the perils of this moment, as people who believe in nothing surround a president who knows nothing, and the situation gets desperate.Listen again: "The Kennedy Imprisonment" (w/ Jeet Heer), Nov 17, 2023Sources:"Trump Renames A.I. and Threatens to 'Annihilate' Iran in U.N.

LIVE from ILADS: Tick Boot Camp reconnects with Dr. Alexis Chesney, MS, ND, LAc for a focused conversation about babesiosis, Lyme disease, coinfections, diagnostic challenges, herbal medicine, recovery, rehabilitation, and what it means to treat the whole person rather than a single infection. Dr. Chesney is a naturopathic physician and acupuncturist specializing in Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. In this short-form conference interview, she explains why Babesia deserves more attention, how the clinical picture of tick-borne disease has become increasingly complex, and why successful treatment often requires much more than simply targeting microbes. This interview was recorded live at the ILADS conference, so you may hear some of the energy and background activity of the event throughout the conversation. Why Babesia Deserves More Attention One of the main focuses of this conversation is babesiosis, a tick-borne infection caused by Babesia parasites. Dr. Chesney explains that Babesia differs fundamentally from Lyme disease because the organism infects red blood cells. That difference affects both how the disease presents and how practitioners approach diagnosis and treatment. Symptoms discussed in the interview include: Night sweats Air hunger Heart palpitations Fatigue Symptoms related to red blood cell involvement Persistent symptoms that remain after other infections have been addressed Dr. Chesney emphasizes that a patient may improve from treatment directed at Borrelia while continuing to experience symptoms that point toward Babesia or another coinfection. A Naturopathic Approach to Babesiosis Dr. Chesney recently published The Diagnosis and Treatment of Babesiosis: A Naturopathic Approach to an Emerging Tick-Borne Disease. Her article examines babesiosis from an integrative perspective, including epidemiology, clinical presentation, testing, pharmaceutical treatment, botanical medicine, and supportive naturopathic care. In the interview, she discusses combining conventional and natural approaches rather than viewing them as mutually exclusive. She describes using pharmaceutical therapies such as atovaquone and azithromycin when appropriate, followed by or combined with botanical strategies intended to address Babesia and support the patient's overall physiology. Herbal Medicine & Supporting the Body Dr. Chesney's approach goes beyond simply trying to eliminate an organism. She discusses botanical medicine that may help address Babesia while also supporting the red blood cells and other systems affected by infection. Her broader point is that treatment should consider both sides of the equation: How do we reduce the microbial burden, and how do we help the body function better while we do it? That whole-person approach is a central theme of naturopathic and integrative medicine. Dr. Chesney's published work discusses botanical options including Japanese knotweed, cryptolepis, Artemisia annua, Chinese skullcap, Bidens pilosa, and Sida acuta, along with supportive strategies intended to address detoxification, immune function, and tissue protection. Lyme Disease Is Increasingly a Polymicrobial Picture Tick Boot Camp and Dr. Chesney also discuss how the clinical picture of Lyme disease has changed. Increasingly, patients are not presenting with only Borrelia. Instead, clinicians may encounter combinations involving: Lyme disease Babesiosis Bartonellosis Anaplasmosis Other tick-borne infections Reactivated or latent viruses Long COVID Immune dysfunction Overlapping chronic conditions Dr. Chesney explains that these overlapping illnesses can produce similar symptoms, making careful clinical investigation especially important. This is one reason experienced practitioners matter. Testing can be useful, but the clinical picture remains an essential part of diagnosis and treatment planning. Babesia Testing & the Clinical Picture The conversation also explores the limitations of testing. Dr. Chesney discusses using different diagnostic tools depending on the situation, including PCR, antibody testing, and Babesia FISH testing. She emphasizes that laboratory results must be interpreted alongside symptoms, history, exposure, and the patient's response to treatment. For example, a patient who continues to experience night sweats, air hunger, or palpitations after other aspects of treatment may warrant further evaluation for Babesia even when earlier testing has been inconclusive. The message is not that patients should diagnose themselves. It is the opposite: complex tick-borne illness often requires an experienced clinician who understands both the strengths and limitations of available diagnostics. Why Patients Shouldn't Have to Become Their Own Doctors One important part of the interview addresses a common experience in the Lyme community: patients often become extremely educated because they have struggled to find appropriate care. That education can be empowering, but Dr. Chesney and Tick Boot Camp emphasize that patients should not be forced to manage complex infectious disease on their own. Lyme disease and associated infections can involve multiple pathogens, immune dysfunction, overlapping symptoms, changing clinical presentations, and imperfect diagnostic tools. Finding an experienced practitioner who understands these complexities can make a tremendous difference. Dr. Chesney describes spending substantial time gathering patient history and looking for patterns rather than simply treating laboratory values. A Whole-Person Recovery Framework The conversation then moves beyond diagnosis and antimicrobial treatment into the broader recovery process. Tick Boot Camp shares its PARM framework: Prehabilitation Assist Rehabilitation Maintenance Dr. Chesney discusses how this framework aligns with what she sees clinically. Not every patient is physically ready to begin aggressive antimicrobial therapy immediately. Some patients may first need support involving: Nutrition Sleep Movement Stress reduction Immune support Detoxification pathways Liver support Lymphatic support Kidney support For people who have been chronically ill for years, strengthening the body before more intensive treatment can be an important part of the process. Rehabilitation After Chronic Lyme Disease Getting through antimicrobial treatment does not necessarily mean recovery is finished. Dr. Chesney discusses the importance of rehabilitation and reconditioning, especially for patients who have spent months or years significantly limited by illness. Physical therapy can become an important tool for patients who have lost strength, endurance, mobility, or confidence in their bodies. The conversation highlights a reality that many recovering patients discover: There can be a period between treating illness and fully returning to life. That phase deserves attention too. Maintenance, Prevention & Avoiding Reinfection Recovery also includes learning how to protect the progress that has been made. Dr. Chesney has made tick-bite prevention a major focus of her work after repeatedly seeing patients recover from Lyme disease only to experience another tick bite and a new infection. Her book, Preventing Lyme & Other Tick-Borne Diseases, is designed as a practical field guide covering tick identification, tick-bite prevention, landscape strategies, what to do after a bite, and information about common tick-borne diseases. The goal is not to create fear around the outdoors. It is to help people enjoy life while understanding how to reduce risk. Lifestyle, Resilience & Long-Term Health The final portion of the conversation expands even further. Dr. Chesney and Tick Boot Camp discuss how recovery from chronic illness can become an opportunity to reevaluate the foundations of health. That may include: Better nutrition Consistent sleep Exercise and movement Stress management Reducing unnecessary exposures Rebuilding strength Supporting emotional health Supporting spiritual health Developing sustainable habits For many people, recovering from Lyme disease is not simply about returning to exactly who they were before becoming sick. It can become a process of learning the body more deeply and building a healthier life moving forward. About Dr. Alexis Chesney Dr. Alexis Chesney, MS, ND, LAc is a naturopathic physician, acupuncturist, author, and educator specializing in Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses. She trained with Dr. Richard Horowitz and has spent years treating patients with Lyme disease, babesiosis, Bartonella, and other complex vector-borne conditions. Dr. Chesney has also served in leadership roles with the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society, including work with its Naturopathic Medicine Committee and physician training programs. She is the author of Preventing Lyme & Other Tick-Borne Diseases, a practical guide to tick identification, prevention, tick bites, and tick-borne illness.

About This LIVE from ILADS Interview This short-form conversation was recorded in person at the 2025 International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society Annual Scientific Conference, From Terrain to Treatment: Advances in Vector-Borne Illness, held October 9–12, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas. Because these interviews were recorded live at the conference, they have a different feel from Tick Boot Camp's traditional long-form virtual and studio conversations — shorter, focused, and surrounded by the activity of one of the world's major gatherings of Lyme and tick-borne disease clinicians and researchers.

In this live panel from FeistyFest, four leading women—Marty Munson, Alison Freeman, Lyn Benoit, and Elizabeth Allen—unpack how stress from work, life, and training converges in the body and share practical ways to reclaim balance.Listeners will learn why training calendars only tell part of the story, how to listen to their nervous system, and simple tools to prevent burnout without sacrificing performance. Tune in for actionable strategies that empower entrepreneurs and small‑business owners to thrive both personally and professionally.Key Takeaways- Training stress and life stress share the same physiological pathways; recognize that your calendar is only a fragment of the whole picture.- Listening to your body means identifying how stress manifests (fatigue, irritability, hyper‑activity) and responding with movement, stillness, or breathwork accordingly.- Use the “sucky rotation schedule” to prioritize tasks each week—keep essential training above the line while allowing lower‑priority items to slide.- Data can be a friend or a foe; set intentional limits on the metrics you track and let the numbers serve your goals, not dictate them.- Simple breathwork (extended exhale, humming breath, equal‑part breathing) and grounding practices (grass walks, warm water, weighted blankets) can reset the nervous system in minutes.- Redefine success: you don't have to be elite at a sport to enjoy it—focus on joy, sustainability, and personal fulfillment.Guest Introductions- Marty Munson – Health Director at Women's Health and Men's Health magazines; seasoned health journalist and triathlon coach.

„Ich hab Rücken“ – kaum ein Satz fällt öfter. Und kaum einer führt so zuverlässig in die falsche Richtung. Denn dort, wo es wehtut, sitzt meistens nicht die Ursache. Oliver Mack ist Chiropraktiker, Heilpraktiker und Yoga-Therapeut und behandelt in seiner Berliner Praxis seit Jahrzehnten Menschen mit Rückenproblemen. Im Auftakt unserer fünfteiligen Reihe erklärt er, warum Rückenschmerz nur ein Symptom ist – und warum die eigentliche Baustelle in der Körperstatik und im Nervensystem liegt. Wir sprechen darüber, warum Oliver seine Patient:innen auf zwei Waagen gleichzeitig stellt, was deine Augenachse mit deiner Reaktionszeit im Straßenverkehr zu tun hat, warum echter Verschleiß 20 bis 30 Jahre braucht – und weshalb ein Sturz vom Spielplatz oder ein Flug über den Kasten im Schulsport noch Jahrzehnte später nachwirken kann. Du erfährst... … warum der Ort des Schmerzes fast nie der Ort der Ursache ist … wie das Nervensystem deine Haltung permanent nachjustiert – und was passiert, wenn die Messwerte nicht stimmen … warum ein Schiefstand im Hals dich Reaktionszeit im Straßenverkehr kostet … welche Ereignisse deine Statik durcheinanderbringen, von der Geburt bis zum Schulsport __________________________ ||||| PERSONEN |||||
In Part 2 of this conversation, Dr Shae Wissell and Associate Professor Caroline Gurvich explore one of the most common questions women ask during perimenopause: Is this ADHD, perimenopause, or both?Together, they discuss the impact of hormonal changes on the brain, including brain fog, memory, attention, and executive functioning. The episode examines why many neurodivergent women report increased challenges during perimenopause and highlights the complexities of diagnosis and support during this life stage.The conversation also explores an important workplace question: How can employers better support people navigating the intersection of neurodivergence and hormonal transition?At re:think dyslexia, we believe that greater understanding leads to more inclusive, supportive workplaces where everyone can thrive.00:00 Welcome to Dear Dyslexic00:29 Tracking Cycles and Symptoms02:14 Perimenopause vs ADHD Diagnosis06:08 Misconceptions and Daily Impact07:20 What Is Perimenopause09:16 Brain Fog Explained11:02 ADHD Worsening in Perimenopause14:16 Dyslexia and Hormonal Shifts15:55 Resources and FarewellAbout Dear Dyslexic PodcastThe Dear Dyslexic Podcast amplifies the voices, experiences and expertise of people from the dyslexia and broader neurodivergent communities, creating conversations that inform, empower and inspire.

What if perimenopause isn't simply changing your hormones, but revealing everything your body has been compensating for for years? In this episode, Dr. Mariza sits down with integrative medicine physician and women's health expert Dr. Taz Bhatia for an incredibly personal conversation about what happens when the strategies that helped high-functioning women push through for decades suddenly stop working. Dr. Taz shares how her own perimenopause began with incredibly heavy periods, fatigue, anemia, hair loss, mood changes, and unexpected weight gain. But one of her biggest surprises came later: as progesterone and estrogen declined, her blood sugar, insulin, cholesterol, A1C, and liver enzymes began creeping upward, revealing just how interconnected hormones and metabolic health really are. They also explore the emotional transformation of midlife: letting go of people-pleasing, protecting your energy, releasing the need to be the “good girl,” and becoming clearer about who you are and what deserves your attention. Listen now to rethink perimenopause as an opportunity to understand your body, protect your health, and step powerfully into what comes next. DR. TAZ BHATIA Dr. Taz Bhatia is a board-certified integrative medicine physician, women's health expert, and bestselling author of several books, including The Hormone Shift. Her work explores the connections between hormones, metabolism, stress, nutrition, and whole-body health. Through her Whole Plus clinics and podcast, Dr. Taz advocates for a more collaborative approach to women's health that looks beyond symptoms to cognitive, metabolic, cardiovascular, bone, mental, and hormonal health. IN THIS EPISODE How extremely heavy periods became Dr. Taz's first undeniable sign of perimenopause Why weight gain in midlife isn't necessarily something women simply have to accept How estrogen and progesterone shifts can intersect with blood sugar, insulin, cholesterol, and visceral fat Why the “silent” cardiometabolic changes of menopause deserve more attention Why your body may stop tolerating the stress, sleep debt, and depletion you once pushed through How perimenopause helped Dr. Taz stop people-pleasing and build stronger boundaries Why knowing your own patterns and tracking changes can help you advocate for yourself How midlife can become an opportunity to redefine your identity, purpose, and power QUOTES Perimenopause is really where women come into their own.” “These are not my battles. This is not my fight.” “We gotta redefine what fine is.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Find inspiration, connection, and meaningful reads: Join my Soulful Shelf Book Club (no cost) here: https://drmariza.com/bookclub Join my brand-new Substack: for the woman everyone depends on who is wondering why everything feels harder in midlife: https://drmariza.substack.com/ The Hormone Shift by Dr. Taz Bhatia: https://amzn.to/4xJ5VfK The Superwoman Rx by Dr. Taz Bhatia: https://amzn.to/4hHkZpn Dr. Taz Website: https://doctortaz.com/ Dr. Taz Instagram Hol+ Wellness Podcast RELATED EPISODES 775: Wide Awake at 3 A.M.?

#172: Parasites have become one of the biggest conversations in wellness— but how much of it is actually legitimate, and where has the internet taken it way too far? This week we're joined by Kim Rogers, aka the Worm Queen.We get into how common parasites actually are, what happens in the body when someone gets one, and the most common (and most surprising) ways people are exposed. Then we dig into the symptoms — bloating, fatigue, skin issues, cravings, even teeth grinding — that get blamed on parasites online, and which of those are actually legitimate versus wildly overhyped.We also cover parasite cleanses: who actually needs one, what red flags to watch for, and the truth about "die-off" symptoms. Kim walks us through her ParaFy protocol, what was missing from the products already on the market, and how to know if an approach like this is right for you.Finally, we get into the everyday stuff — sushi, washing produce, pets, travel — and how concerned you should actually be about each one.Here's what we get into:How common parasites actually are, and what a parasite even isHow people actually get exposed (and the myths around it)Symptoms that might indicate a parasite — and which ones are wildly overblown onlineHow parasites are tested and confirmedWho actually needs a parasite cleanse, and the red flags to watch forShould you have sushi?The truth about "die-off" symptomsKim's ParaFy protocol — what's in it, why, and how to know if it's right for youEveryday risk: sushi, produce washing, hygiene, travel, and petsThe 3 things Kim wishes everyone would do differently after this episodeConnect with us:GET A PARAFY PARASITE CLEANSE KIT HERE: Use code GUTTALK for 20% off your orderFollow Kim Rogers: YouTubeTiktokInstagramSPONSORS:Farmer FocusKionIf this episode resonated, share it with a friend who needs to hear it.
The Cortisol Cure with Dr. Erin Kinney Dr. Karen Litzy sits down with Dr. Erin Kinney, naturopathic doctor, stress physiology expert, clinic founder, and author of The Cortisol Cure, to reframe how we think about cortisol. This episode explains why cortisol is not the enemy, how the body uses it as an energy and anti-inflammatory hormone, and why burnout is often more about an overdrawn energy system than a hormone that simply needs to be "lowered."They also explore practical ways to recognize cortisol depletion, the role of hidden stressors such as nutrient deficiencies and stealth infections, and how clinicians and high achievers can make small daily "deposits" to support resilience. Key topics · Why cortisol is better understood as an energy hormone—not just a stress hormone · The "cortisol bank account" framework: sleep and rest are deposits, while daily demands are withdrawals · Why chronic stress may show up as low cortisol rather than high cortisol · How burnout can lead to wired-but-tired energy, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and overwhelm · How low cortisol can cause the body to compensate with adrenaline and eventually draw from sex hormones · The connection between cortisol, glucose, insulin resistance, and inflammation · Why perimenopause symptoms can overlap with burnout · Hidden internal stressors, including nutrient deficiencies, food sensitivities, Lyme disease, mold exposure, and suppressed emotions · Practical support strategies for clinicians and busy professionals · Why building a strong "relax muscle" matters just as much as developing the stress response Timestamps 00:00— Why cortisol is not the enemy 01:25— Cortisol as an energy and anti-inflammatory hormone 02:48— The problem with "manage your stress" advice 03:11— Introducing the cortisol bank account framework 04:37— Daily life as energy deposits and withdrawals 05:34— What happens when the cortisol account gets overdrawn 06:02— How low cortisol can draw from sex hormones 07:17— Why cortisol gets blamed for inflammation and glucose spikes 09:02— Why "lower cortisol" is not always the right goal 10:14— Morning cortisol testing and how to prepare 11:41— How to estimate your energy balance before symptoms appear 12:30— The cortisol debt assessment 13:44— Why clinical business owners are vulnerable to burnout 14:41— Dr. Kinney's time-blocking and recharge strategy 15:52— What an overdrawn cortisol account can look like 17:01— How low-cortisol symptoms differ between men and women 18:59— Perimenopause versus burnout 19:53— When hormone therapy helps—and when burnout may be the deeper issue 21:43— Hidden internal stressors that quietly drain energy 22:38— Lyme disease and other stealth pathogens 24:58— The energy cost of suppressed emotions 26:30— Red flags for people who always push through 28:23— Why symptoms may be the body's way of asking for attention 29:47— Practical ways to make cortisol deposits during the day 31:33— Why skipping meals can increase the stress response 32:37— Breath work, reading, and simple recovery rituals 33:37— The nervous system's "stress muscle" and "relax muscle" 35:21— Why relaxation takes practice 36:54— The core takeaway: healing happens when energy exceeds expenditure 37:35— Lightning round: recovery habits and book recommendations 39:07— Meditation, binaural beats, and daily regulation 40:23— Where to find Dr. Kinney and The Cortisol Cure Dr. Kinney's central model treats cortisol like currency: · Sleep and rest are deposits. · Work, caregiving, exercise, driving, and emotional strain are withdrawals. · Symptoms can appear when withdrawals outpace deposits. · Small recovery practices throughout the day can help restore balance. More About Dr. Kinney Dr. Erin Kinney is a naturopathic doctor, author of The Cortisol Cure, and stress physiology expert helping high-functioning men and women overcome fatigue, hormone imbalance, and burnout.

Many people live with symptoms that quietly erode their quality of life, never realizing they may be responding adversely to foods they eat every day. What is considered a "superfood" to most of the world may be the trigger for tremendous suffering in a bio-individual whose body does not tolerate that food. Symptoms of food intolerances and sensitivities can include bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, headaches, migraines, joint pain, skin problems, brain fog, fatigue, and other forms of digestive or systemic distress. Because some food reactions may be delayed, connecting a symptom to a specific food can be incredibly difficult. In this episode of the Body Wisdom Podcast, Jamie Belz talks with James White, CEO and owner of KBMO Diagnostics, about food sensitivities, food intolerances, food allergies, inflammation, leaky gut/intestinal permeability, elimination diets, and bio-individual nutrition. James explains the difference between an immediate IgE food allergy and a delayed food sensitivity, why delayed reactions can be so difficult to pinpoint, and how the FIT, or Food Inflammation Test, can be used by Nutritional Therapy Practitioners as one tool within a larger assessment. Jamie also shares her family's experience with food sensitivity testing, including her father's dramatic health transformation and her own difficult discovery that eggs were causing digestive problems. This conversation explores: • Food allergies vs. food sensitivities vs. food intolerances • Immediate IgE reactions and delayed immune responses • Common symptoms associated with problematic foods • Digestive distress, migraines, skin issues, joint pain, fatigue, and brain fog • The relationship between inflammation, intestinal permeability (leaky gut) Food sensitivity testing and the KBMO FIT Test • Elimination diets and structured food reintroduction There is no universally perfect diet. A food can be nutrient-dense and still not work well for your body at this particular time. The goal is not to fear food or permanently eliminate everything that produces a reaction. The goal is to gather useful information, reduce your total inflammatory burden, support healing, and make informed choices based on your individual body. A test can provide information, but the work begins when the results arrive. You still have to decide what you are willing to do with that information.

On this special episode of the Mile High Podcast, you'll hear from Dr. Donald "Donny" Epstein, with a recording of his presentation directly from the Mile High stage. Dr. Donny has spent decades developing and teaching approaches including Network Chiropractic, NetworkSpinal Analysis, NetworkSpinal, Somato Respiratory Integration, and Reorganizational Healing. His work has been taught to thousands of chiropractors and students around the world. During this Mile High presentation, he asks you to expand the conversation beyond simply helping someone move away from a problem. What if the person in front of you is ready for more? More awareness. More adaptability. More resourcefulness. More participation in life. Dr. Donny traces this question back to the early years of his career, when he began considering the differences between people seeking relief, prevention, personal improvement, and ultimately the opportunity to improve the world. In this special episode, you'll hear: How Dr. Donny's early Chiropractic experiences shaped his evolving vision Why wellness reaches beyond the absence of disease The research that influenced the evolution of Network care Why awareness plays an important role in creating healthier choices How energy and information influence the way people experience life Why he introduced the term "practice member" The difference between patient-centered and person-centered perspectives How the spine, nerve system, and quality of life connect within his model Why informed choice matters in the care relationship How Chiropractic can invite people to seek more One especially meaningful part of the presentation explores the origins of the term "practice member." Dr. Donny explains that he began using it around 1982 as his perspective shifted away from defining the relationship around fixing a problem and toward creating a cooperative relationship centered on the person. That distinction leads into a larger question for your practice: Are the people you serve seeking less of something, or are you helping them discover what they want more of? For Dr. Donny, that journey has continued through decades of research, teaching, clinical models, and exploration of how greater awareness can support changes in wellness and quality of life. His CV includes published work on Network Spinal Analysis and Reorganizational Healing, along with decades of international teaching. This special episode gives you the opportunity to experience that conversation directly from the Mile High stage.
You grind your teeth at night. You bloat after a glass of water. You crave sugar and salt, you are wide awake at 2am, and your labs still come back fine. What if some of that is not your thyroid? Hashimoto's is two things and not one. Medication helps the thyroid side. The immune side is the part that is yours to work on, and part of that work is looking at what else your body is carrying. In episode 219, Kim Rogers (the Worm Queen) teaches you all about parasites and Hashimoto's. If you're curious but nervous (or grossed out,) this episode breaks down symptoms to watch for, how the kit works, and easy steps to get started.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Never Been Sicker, Michael Rubino sits down with Dr. Somer DelSignore to discuss why she believes some chronically ill children are being missed by conventional approaches to pediatric care.Dr. DelSignore explains how her work evolved after encountering children with unusual combinations of behavioral changes, sleep problems, gut issues, neurological symptoms, chronic infections, and other concerns that weren't improving with standard treatment.Instead of looking at each symptom in isolation, she developed the RESET framework, which considers inflammation, environmental toxins, gut health, infections, and overall health together.One of Dr. DelSignore's biggest messages to parents:“Symptoms are not the problem. It's the body communicating.”This conversation is about asking a different question. Instead of only asking how to suppress a symptom, what happens when we start investigating why it appeared in the first place?
On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared continues his series on the intelligence of symptoms with a look at nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and heartburn. These uncomfortable digestive symptoms may feel like the body is malfunctioning, but in many cases they are part of the body's natural protective response. Jared explains why nausea can act as an early warning, how vomiting and diarrhea help the body remove unwanted substances, and why simply shutting these responses down may not always be the best approach. He also discusses activated charcoal, ginger, probiotics, digestive enzymes, and supportive strategies for digestive distress. Finally, Jared explores acid reflux, the important role of stomach acid, concerns surrounding long-term PPI use, and why supporting healthy digestive function may offer a better long-term strategy.Additional Information:***Watch for all 4 parts of this series on Symptoms!Visit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

How long does it actually take to reverse insulin resistance? Is it 30 days, 90 days, six months—or years? This episode of Optimal Metabolism was originally recorded as an Instagram LIVE, where I answered this question and talked about what it really takes to improve insulin sensitivity and metabolic health. There isn't one universal timeline for reversing insulin resistance, but that doesn't mean you have to wait years to start seeing progress. I break down the symptoms that can tell you your metabolism is moving in the right direction, the lab values that can help you objectively measure progress, and why fasting glucose alone doesn't always tell the whole story. Most importantly, we talk about how much progress you can make in 90 days when you stop jumping from one strategy to another and consistently work on the right things. WHAT I DISCUSS: Why there isn't one timeline for reversing insulin resistance What affects how quickly insulin sensitivity improves Early signs your metabolic health is improving Hunger, cravings, energy, weight, and other symptoms to watch Symptom resolution vs. lab values—how do you actually know you've reversed insulin resistance? Metabolic markers that can help you track your progress Why fasting glucose alone doesn't tell the whole story Why consistency matters more than constantly changing strategies How much progress you can make in 90 days How the COMPASS Reset + FEEL GREAT system can help you put these strategies into action READY TO SEE WHAT CAN CHANGE IN 90 DAYS? My COMPASS Reset starts Wednesday! This is your opportunity to stop guessing and spend the next 90 days consistently working on the foundations that can help you improve your metabolic health and FEEL GREAT.
Eczema is incredibly common in babies and children, but what if the skin is only showing us part of the story? In this episode, Dr. Morgan MacDermott sits down with holistic nurse, clinical herbalist, and pediatric eczema practitioner Abbie Bradford to unpack the many factors that can contribute to eczema and why there isn't one universal cause or solution. They discuss the connection between eczema, gut health, food allergies and sensitivities, the microbiome, antibiotics, C-sections, breastfeeding, environmental exposures, and mold. Abbie also explains why the last thing that happened before a flare isn't necessarily the root cause, when food-based topicals may be problematic for babies, how to think about probiotics and stool testing, and which practical changes parents can start with at home. They also cover mold testing, breastfeeding and elimination diets, allergy testing, topical care, red light, bathing, and why some children may eventually "grow out" of eczema without actually addressing what was happening underneath. Most importantly, this conversation gives parents a framework for thinking about eczema without getting overwhelmed by the endless list of possible triggers. Rather than chasing one cause, Abbie explains how to look at the whole picture and identify the factors that may be contributing to a child's individual presentation.00:00 Trailer + Introduction02:47 Why Eczema Is More Than a Skin Problem06:00 How Common Is Childhood Eczema?09:40 Eczema Is a Symptom, Not the Root Cause11:00 Can Food-Based Lotions Make Eczema Worse?13:28 Vaccines, Immune Reactivity & the “Bucket” Analogy19:42 Are Food Allergies Causing Eczema?21:44 When Baby Rashes Are Normal vs. Concerning23:09 The Gut-Eczema Connection25:47 Mold & Environmental Triggers32:04 How to Test Your Home for Mold38:00 Why Indoor Mold Can Become a Problem40:32 Can Eczema Happen Even Without Antibiotics or Medical Interventions?42:54 Probiotics & Gut Testing for Eczema44:16 Tiny Health vs. GI Map: What Parents Should Know47:55 When Probiotics Can Make Eczema Worse49:57 Gut Healing, Herbs & Why “Killing” Too Soon Can Backfire54:44 The First Things Parents Can Do at Home61:01 Breastfeeding, Elimination Diets & Cow's Milk Protein Allergy67:57 Will My Child Grow Out of Eczema?72:17 Are Allergy Tests Helpful?74:36 Topicals, Red Light & Caring for Eczema-Prone Skin77:21 Bathing, Moisturizing & Why It Depends79:23 Final Thoughts for ParentsResources From This Episode: Check out Abby's Website - https://www.myvibranthealth.net/Follow Abby on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/_abbiebradford/ERMI Mold Dust Test - https://moldtesting.com/IEP (Indoor Environmental Professional) List - https://iseai.org/iep-list/Tiny Health Stool Test - https://tinyhealth.myshopify.com/?rfsn=8737966.461e18&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=8737966.461e18Evivo Probiotic - https://www.evivo.com/ION Biome Gut Support - https://intelligenceofnature.com/products/gut-health-supplementCheck out Free to Feed on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/free.to.feed/Dairy Free Breastfeeding Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/dairyfreediet.breastfeeding/ Lumebox Red Light Therapy Device, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHER - https://thelumebox.com/pages/lb68/?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=3&affid=4336&discount=healthyasamotherpodcastActive Skin Repair - https://shop.bldgactive.com/discount/HEALTHYMOTHERAlba Un-Petroleum JellyDr. Morgan's Pediatric Sickness CourseHealthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreDr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond

If you keep waking up at 2:00, 3:00, or 4:00 AM and can't fall back asleep, your hormones may only be one piece of the puzzle. In this episode, Dr. Mariza sits down with sleep expert Morgan Adams to unpack why sleep can suddenly fall apart in midlife and what you can actually do about it. Morgan explains three major forces affecting women's sleep: declining estrogen and progesterone, rising anxiety and depression, and the enormous demands of being part of the “sandwich generation,” often juggling a career, children, and aging parents simultaneously. They dig into one of the biggest complaints among midlife women: middle-of-the-night wake-ups. From blood sugar dysregulation and overheating to overlooked breathing issues, Morgan reveals why repeatedly waking at the same time deserves a closer look. You'll also learn what not to do when you wake up, the cognitive trick that may interrupt 3 AM rumination, why your wearable can't replace a sleep study, and whether sleeping separately from your partner could actually protect your health and your relationship. Listen now for practical strategies to finally get the deeper, more restorative sleep your body needs. MORGAN ADAMS Morgan Adams is a sleep coach who helps women struggling with insomnia and disrupted sleep improve their sleep using evidence-based behavioral strategies. Her work includes cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) principles and practical approaches to middle-of-the-night wake-ups, rumination, evening routines, and sleep optimization. In the episode, she also offers listeners a guide specifically for 3 AM wake-ups and an opportunity to connect with her about insomnia support. IN THIS EPISODE Why sleep can suddenly fall apart for women in midlife What “revenge bedtime procrastination” is and why busy women do it The surprising reasons you may keep waking up around 3 AM How blood sugar dysregulation may contribute to nighttime wake-ups Why overheating may be disrupting your sleep even without night sweats The overlooked breathing problems that can leave healthy women exhausted What to do when your brain starts spiraling in the middle of the night Why a “sleep divorce” might actually become a sleep alliance QUOTES“My big thing is mindfulness snacks.” “Sleeping separately doesn't mean the marriage has failed.” “It's not a template. It's really an individualized kind of puzzle that you kinda have to put together for yourself.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Find inspiration, connection, and meaningful reads. Join the Book Club now!

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter In this "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) episode, Peter takes a deep dive into thyroid health and explains why diagnosing and managing thyroid dysfunction is unusually complex. He begins with the basic biology of the thyroid gland and three commonly measured hormones—free T4, free T3, and TSH. He explains how T4 is converted to the active hormone T3 and the important functions T3 performs throughout the body. He also explains what reverse T3 is and when it may be useful to measure it. Peter then breaks down thyroid blood tests and their limitations and provides a practical framework for evaluating suspected thyroid dysfunction. He explains why symptoms alone are insufficient for diagnosis and reviews the criteria for diagnosing hypothyroidism, along with conditions that can mimic it. He also explores how hypothyroidism can be both underdiagnosed and overtreated and how to navigate subclinical hypothyroidism. Peter discusses treatment with T4 and T3, including why some patients continue to experience symptoms despite standard T4 replacement. He also explains how thyroid medications should be taken to optimize absorption. Additional topics include Hashimoto's disease, thyroid considerations during pregnancy, hyperthyroidism, the risks of excess iodine, and supplements marketed to support thyroid function. Finally, Peter offers guidance for patients who continue to feel unwell despite apparently normal thyroid tests.
