Energetic Health Institute Radio with Holly Whalen – From swearing and slapping to separation, substance abuse, and silence — these questions aren't easy. But they are powerful. Because sometimes, just naming what happened is the beginning of setting it down. And then, we go deeper. We discuss what the test misses — things like racism, medical trauma, foster care, or growing up poor...
Does psychiatric medication withdrawal exist — or is it just a myth?For anyone who's lived through it, the question alone can feel insulting.Psychiatric drug withdrawal is real. While the experience varies widely, for many, it's not “brief and mild” as many guidelines state it is. It can be intense, destabilizing, and often misunderstood. One of the most painful challenges is trying to determine whether what you're experiencing is withdrawal or relapse.Unfortunately, current clinical guidelines don't help. They often frame withdrawal as short-lived and minor, dismissing anything more severe as a return of illness. A potentially dangerous oversimplification that can leave patients feeling gaslit or unsupported.In this interview, Dr. Mark Horowitz, a psychiatrist and researcher who's both studied and experienced withdrawal firsthand, unpacks a new JAMA study that exemplifies the problem: guidelines built on inadequate evidence.In this episode, you'll hear:Why current drug withdrawal guidelines fall shortOverview of the new JAMA paper Incidence and Nature of Antidepressant Discontinuation SymptomsThe critical distinction between withdrawal and relapseThe truth about psychiatric drug withdrawalHow to design better research that reflects real-world experiencesWhy this information is often not reaching cliniciansHow we can conduct research that can better inform patient supportDr. Horowitz's story is one of courage and insight. As a clinician, he had no idea how wrong the guidelines were, until he tried coming off medication himself. What he discovered was far more complex than anything he'd been taught.To those navigating psychiatric medication withdrawal — especially in the face of oversimplified headlines and a healthcare system not yet equipped to support you — our hearts go out to you. You deserve care that is informed, compassionate, and grounded in lived experience as well as science. We won't stop until you have this.Expert Featured:Dr. Mark HorowitzX: @markhoroWebsite: https://markhorowitz.org/Resources Mentioned:Incidence and Nature of Antidepressant Discontinuation Symptoms A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysishttps://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/article-abstract/28362623 Long-Term Psychiatric Medication Studieshttps://www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S0006-3223(98)00126-7/abstracthttps://journals.lww.com/intclinpsychopharm/abstract/2002/09000/discontinuation_symptoms__comparison_of_brief.2.aspxhttps://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/the-british-journal-of-psychiatry/article/interruption-of-selective-serotonin-reuptake-inhibitor-treatment/F0241958CB073C51F366E2AABE636B5DOutro Clinichttps://www.outro.com/The Maudsley Desprescribing Guidelines: Antidepressants, Benzodiazepines, Gabapentinoids and Z-drugs

Tularemia is a highly infectious disease you get from the bacterium F. tularensis. You can get it from bug bites, infected animals, contaminated water or food, and particles of bacteria in the air. Tularemia can affect your skin, eyes, throat, lungs and intestines. Tularemia should be treated as soon as possible with antibiotics. We will not have a guest for this week, but would love to invite anyone who has been diagnosed with Tularemia to be a guest on a future show. Tularemia causes your lymph nodes to painfully swell and other symptoms in your lungs, eyes, throat and intestines, depending on where the bacteria infects you. It is a zoonotic disease, which means it spreads between animals and humans. Commonly called “rabbit fever” or “deer fly fever,” people get tularemia from exposure to deer flies and ticks that have F. tularensis infections. You can also get it from contact with infected animals (generally rabbits, hares and rodents) or food and water sources contaminated with the bacteria. Tularemia can cause your lymph nodes to swell severely, which looks like large bumps on your body. Sometimes it causes broken skin (ulceration) at the site where F. tularensis bacteria entered your body. (Credits: Cleveland Clinic) People can become infected in several ways, including: Tick and deer fly bites Skin contact with infected animals Drinking contaminated water Inhaling contaminated aerosols or agricultural and landscaping dust Laboratory exposure In addition, people could be exposed as a result of bioterrorism. Symptoms vary depending how the person was infected. Tularemia can be life-threatening, but most infections can be treated successfully with antibiotics. Steps to prevent tularemia include: Using insect repellent Wearing gloves when handling sick or dead animals Avoiding mowing over dead animals In the United States, naturally occurring infections have been reported from all states except Hawaii.

In this episode, we detail connections between H. pylori and hypochlorhydria, while highlighting possible downstream effects on nutrient absorption. We examine how reduced gastric acidity can impair the liberation and assimilation of certain micronutrients, including iron, calcium, vitamin B12, and more; and we further discuss the impact of low stomach acid upon downstream digestive enzyme activation and gut microbial balance. The discussion also highlights the role of compromised gastric acidity in conditions such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).Topics:1. Hypochlorhydria - Low stomach acid.- Aging, autoimmune gastritis, chronic PPI use, H. pylori infection.2. H. pylori - Common gram-negative bacterium that colonizes the stomach lining.- Symptoms.- Produces urease.- Ammonia neutralizes acid, creating a protective microenvironment.- Additional virulence factors and ability to form biofilms contribute to persistence.3. Gastric Anatomy & Layers- The stomach: hollow, muscular organ for mechanical and chemical digestion.- Regions: Cardia, fundus, body, and pylorus.- Layers: Mucosa, Submucosa, Muscularis externa, Serosa4. Mucosal Layer - Surface mucous cells secrete a thick bicarbonate-rich, protective mucus.- Gastric pits lead to gastric glands, which contain specialized secretory cells.5. Specialized Gastric Cells- Parietal Cells: Secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor (IF).- Chief Cells: Secrete pepsinogen (converted to pepsin by HCl) and gastric lipase.- Role of HCl: Activates pepsin, denatures proteins, and contributes to nutrient absorption.- Intrinsic factor and vitamin B12 absorption.6. Vitamin B12 Absorption- Essential for DNA synthesis, RBC formation, neurological function.- Released from food proteins by gastric acid and pepsin.- Impaired absorption.7. Role of Gastric Acid in Broader Micronutrient Absorption- Absorption of minerals.- Soluble, ionized state.- Iron: HCl aids in preventing insoluble precipitates and supports iron absorption.8. Protective Role of Gastric Acid- Acts as a line of defense against ingested pathogens.- Maintains low microbial diversity in the stomach.- Low HCl and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).9. Symptoms of Low Stomach Acid- Bloating, early satiety, excessive belching.- Undigested food in stool, chronic constipation.- May reflect impaired enzymatic activation and digestive insufficiency.10. Conclusion- Multifactorial causes and downstream effects.- Optimal range of stomach acid: neither high nor low.Thank you to our episode sponsor: 1.

THE BETTER BELLY PODCAST - Gut Health Transformation Strategies for a Better Belly, Brain, and Body
When I first got sick in 2015 and started the long journey of trying to heal myself, I was REALLY pre-occupied with the concept of leaky gut. I remember Googling questions like:Is leaky gut real?Did I have it?Was it causing my problems?What supplements, diets, or probiotics could I take to heal my leaky gut naturally? And I can remember wondering, for years, "Can anyone test me for this? Would anyone believe me if I told them I had leaky gut?" It took me almost 5 years to FULLY understand why asking the question "do I have leaky gut" is entirely the wrong question to be asking, and learning what question I SHOULD be asking instead to heal both myself and my clients.

Lately, I've been thinking about how detrimental the medical field's compartmentalization of our body systems is to understanding what's really going on.Today's episode is for anyone who has seen multiple specialists for various symptoms and still feels unwell, and for anyone interested in connecting the dots between seemingly unrelated health concerns.In this episode, I discuss:* A letter from someone with wide-ranging symptoms who has seen multiple specialists without answers or seeming movement towards healing.* Why the traditional medical system has become compartmentalized into over 130 specialties, and how this model affects diagnosis and treatment* How psychiatry and neurology have diverged, despite both addressing the brain and nervous system* The limitations of the term mental illness and why I prefer to talk about brain symptoms* A comprehensive look at symptoms often considered psychiatric-including emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and sensory ones-and how these may reflect broader systemic issues* How neurotransmitters work, factors that can influence too much and too little neurotransmitter activity, and why biochemical imbalances often underlie both psychiatric and neurological symptoms* My hope for the future of healthcare.If you have a specific situation or concern you would like me to address in a future newsletter/episode, you are welcome to send it to support@courtneysnydermd.com.Until next time,CourtneyP.S.

Are you stuck in a loop of emotional sabotage, and finding ways to benefit from it?

Can't seem to balance your hormones and get rid of frustrating symptoms like anxiety, irregular cycles, or weight gain no matter what you do? Chances are, your hormones aren't actually the root cause of those symptoms, but are actually your body's “check engine light”. In this Salad with a Side of Fries episode, Jenn Trepeck and functional medicine expert Jillian Greaves dish on hormonal health, revealing how to read your body's symptoms for real answers and real results. Jenn and Jillian explain why hormones are your body's check engine light, highlighting root causes such as chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies, or disrupted blood sugar balance. They dive into the chaos of perimenopause, where cycles can feel like a guessing game, and share why trendy fixes like intermittent fasting often backfire on women's health. Jillian's journey highlights the power of self-advocacy and foundational habits, such as nervous system support and proper hormone testing, particularly during the mid-luteal phase. Together, they offer practical, no-nonsense strategies to help you work with your body, not against it, for lasting hormonal health.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss in real life, clearing up myths, misinformation, and bad science surrounding our understanding of nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: (00:00) Introduction(02:02) Your hormones are a check engine light, indicating underlying health issues (06:25) Jillian Greaves shares her hormonal health journey(08:11) Symptoms are the body's way of communicating imbalances, urging women to support their hormonal health(12:14) Hormones respond to deeper dynamics like nutrient deficiencies or stress, requiring investigation into the causes of hormone imbalances(15:29) For perimenopause, tracking cycles and monitoring symptoms helps to aid in managing hormonal health (17:24) Testing hormones during the mid-luteal phase is crucial for accurate assessment(20:57) Foundational practices like blood sugar balance, sleep, and circadian rhythm regulation are essential for supporting hormonal health (23:15) Reduce physical stressors by focusing on low-impact, strength-based movement to support hormonal health(26:33) The tools you use to support your nervous system need to be sustainable(28:47) Trends and extremes can be detrimental to long term health(31:58) A discussion on Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as a quick fix for hormone imbalances(40:28) Become a member today for $10 per month; prices are going upKEY TAKEAWAYS:Hormones act as a check engine light, signaling underlying issues like under-eating, over-exercising, or chronic stress rather than serving as the root cause of our symptoms.Focus on foundational health practices—such as maintaining blood sugar balance, promoting sleep, regulating circadian rhythms, and supporting the nervous system—to naturally regulate hormonal health.Avoid trendy fixes like prolonged fasting or elimination diets; prioritize sustainable, personalized approaches to address perimenopause and hormone imbalances.QUOTES: (12:40) "One of the biggest mistakes we can make is overly fixating on the hormone itself. And what we need to do is ask the deeper question ‘why?'." Jillian Greaves(14:31) "I always say the body is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. It's compensating." - Jenn Trepeck(14:52) “Work with your body instead of always trying to fight against it, and we hear it all the time, work with your hormones.” - Jenn Trepeck(28:09) "What I'm...

Too many socialists are coming out of the closet to run for positions of political leadership within the Democrat Party. And it's high time to push them all back into the closet. Socialists don't belong in American politics. Everything they stand for is counter to the Constitution. And the reason we're seeing so many these days is that Americans have turned from their faith and forgotten God. Judge Phil Ginn speaks of the intersection of faith and freedom.
Will Van Derveer, MD is a psychiatrist and leader in the field of integrative mental health care. After starting a psychiatry practice in 2002, Dr. Van Derveer soon discovered the grave limitations of conventional psychiatry.Over the next decade of clinical care, he gradually introduced integrative interventions such as gut-brain axis interventions, microbiome analysis, hormone balancing, mindfulness practice, exercise and diet prescriptions, as well as psychedelic therapy into his work. He co-founded Integrative Psychiatry Institute (IPI) to deliver education for mental health practitioners in advanced tools for resolving the root causes of symptoms often missed in conventional care settings. The IPI year long psychedelic-assisted therapy training is the gold standard training in this emerging field, having graduated more than 2000 licensed professionals. Dr. Van Derveer's innovations in the field of integrative mental healthcare are fueled by his conviction that anyone can heal if provided the right combination of support.In addition to his clinical practice and teaching, he has staffed several studies sponsored by Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, investigating MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for chronic, treatment-resistant PTSD. Dr. Van Derveer is co host of the Higher Practice Podcast for optimal mental health, and his first book, Psychedelic Therapy, with a foreword by Gabor Mate, will be published by Shambhala Publications in early 2026.He is a graduate of Vanderbilt University Medical School and completed psychiatry residency training at the University of Colorado.https://www.linkedin.com/in/will-van-derveer-md/IG @will.vanderveer.mdFB https://www.facebook.com/will.vanderveer.md

Today, I am diving deep into a question that's on everybody's mind right now—should billionaires even exist? In this solo episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the wealth gap, social mobility, and the hidden mechanics that are driving massive inequality in our world. I'll walk you through the shocking numbers, break down how our financial system is really rigged, and reveal how asset ownership and inflation are tilting the game in favor of the ultra-wealthy—without you even realizing it. If you've ever wondered why it feels impossible to get ahead, or if you're looking for real answers about how to protect yourself and build true wealth, this episode is for you. We're talking about the roots of capitalism, how government policy and money printing drive inequality, and why trying to fix things with short-term, top-down solutions just makes it worse. My promise: By the end of this episode, you'll understand not just how billionaires are made—but what you can actually do to turn the odds in your favor. This is the episode I wish someone handed me years ago.

In this vulnerable and unfiltered episode, I sit down with my mom to talk about something many women go through, but few talk about openly: midlife weight gain, hormonal changes, and starting a GLP-1. After gaining 55 pounds with no major lifestyle changes and struggling with symptoms like fatigue, hot flashes, anxiety, and loss of muscle, my mom found herself at a health crossroads. We walk through the emotional and physical toll this took, her experience going off hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and what finally led her to try tirzepatide (a GLP-1 medication similar to Ozempic). This episode isn't just about weight loss, it's about reclaiming your life, making empowered health choices, and what happens when you start advocating for your own wellness. We also talk anxiety, alcohol, sleep, family dynamics, and yes, why my mom is already seeing mental clarity within days of her first dose. If your mom (or you!) is silently dealing with hormone chaos, frustrating weight gain, or health confusion, this episode will make you feel seen, supported, and informed. 00:00 Life updates, small talk & avocado toast inflation 04:00 My mom's health scare & going off HRT 07:00 Symptoms spiral after stopping hormone therapy 10:00 Shocking lab results: cholesterol, blood sugar & hormone crash 12:00 The decision to start tirzepatide (Ozempic-like medication) 15:00 What happened after her first dose (mental clarity, food noise, no cravings) 18:00 My evolving opinion on Ozempic 20:00 Women's hormones are misunderstood—here's what we've learned 24:00 Monitoring with InBody scans, strength training, and muscle preservation 27:00 Our honest feelings on weight, lifestyle changes & identity 33:00 Why I might never drink alcohol again (full breakdown) 44:00 10 facts that made me rethink alcohol for good 48:00 Newsletter updates & book recs from my mom 54:00 What we're reading this summer 56:00 Travel talk & life reflections 59:00 Wrapping up + dinner's ready!

Listen & Watch: Apple Podcasts | YouTube | SpotifyDr. Michelle Jorgensen returns to The Lindsey Elmore Show to share a powerful truth: your cells—not prescriptions—do the real healing. In this episode, she breaks down the four things every cell needs to thrive, introduces a practical self-assessment for discovering which of your organs need support, and explains why ancient healing systems were often more in tune with the body than modern trends. From grounding to seasonal nutrition to ditching dangerous dental procedures like root canals, Dr. Jorgensen offers a holistic, science-backed roadmap to lasting energy and vibrant health.

Today you will learn why we all should do a parasite cleanse and not just one time, but actually a couple to a few times a yes. My guest will spill the beans about parasites, where we get them, what to do to protect ourselves from them, and also how to properly detox and cleanse from them. These suckers literally suck the life out of us. They affect our mood, our cravings, our health, our sleep, focus, you name it. Kim Rogers, known online as “Worm Queen”, is turning her personal struggles with chronic illness into a thriving community that advocates for self-healing, patient advocacy and reclaiming personal health. In 2021, Kim teamed up with business partner Erica Mixon to launch a product line - Rogershood Apothecary. Based on Kim's self-healing journey, the company has sold more than 150,000 of their cleansing kits, tinctures and binders annually.Something that started as a healing journey has now turned into an empire that benefits everyone. As Kim's health improved, she began to share her story on Tik Tok, where she was crowned the “Worm Queen”, during a live session on the platform. Kim connected with Erica Mixon, an avid member of the self-healing community herself. The duo got to work developing the company's Parafy - Parasite Cleanse Kit. From humble beginnings in Mixon's 175 sq ft shop behind her house to now operating out of a 10,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility, the company has sold more than 150,000 of their cleansing kits since 2021.

If your knees are feeling stiff, crunchy, or just not doing what they used to — you are not alone. In this episode, Chalene Johnson keeps it real and breaks down why your knees might be acting up (and yep, it's probably not actually your knees). She's talking hormones, tight hips, sleepy glutes, bad shoes — all the sneaky stuff no one tells you is connected. Plus, Chalene shares exactly what she's been doing to feel stronger, more mobile, and basically better than she did in her 30s. If you've been thinking “I guess this is just what happens with age” — hit play, because that's a lie we're not buying. Watch this Episode on YouTube this Sunday!!
Scotty's symptom list is so long I'm not sure I can remember it all to include here, but let's give it a try: back, neck, foot, leg, arm, wrist pain, "tennis elbow," pelvic and groin pain, anxiety, panic, depression, dissociation, tooth sensitivity, burning mouth, and post viral infection symptoms. When you listen, you'll hear the whole thing from his mouth! It may sound unusual, but often in the rearview mirror we end up identifying a lifetime of TMS that has plagued us and led us to live in fear. As I always advise, Scotty took the medical route for each of these diagnoses, but found himself despairing with no enduring solutions. When he finally came upon the work of Dr. Sarno, the game began to change. When he found my work via a YouTube interview I gave, everything started to make sense. Join us today for a conversation with someone who REALLY talks and talk and walks the walk. Loved connecting with Scotty and dropping so many moments of truth. You're sure to be motivated to keep going. Lots of love to everyone out there. It takes willingness and intention, but this work can change your life. XOOX n.
