Post-traumatic growth is often described as finding meaning after adversity, but insight alone does not reorganize a nervous system that is still predicting threat. In this episode, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof are joined by Matt Bush, lead educator for Neurosomatic Intelligence, to explore post-traumatic growth through the lens of neuroplasticity, sensory processing, relational healing and nervous system reorganization. Together they examine why trauma can persist long after an experience has ended, how protective patterns can become intertwined with identity and why repeatedly revisiting trauma without changing the underlying nervous system patterns may keep us caught in cycles of healing without creating lasting change. They also explore the deeply relational nature of post-traumatic growth. Trauma can disrupt trust, belonging and our capacity to co-regulate, while safe connection provides powerful biological signals that help regulate stress and support nervous system repair. From oxytocin and social synchronization to community, shared rituals and relational safety, this conversation looks at why humans evolved to endure stress together rather than alone. Jennifer, Elisabeth and Matt break down what neuroplasticity actually means, how repeated sensory and emotional experiences shape neural pathways and why safety and repetition matter when we are building new patterns. They also explore peak somatic experiences and psychedelics as potential openings into greater flexibility while emphasizing that an opening is not the same as integration. Lasting change requires us to live and practice new patterns after the insight or experience has occurred. Post-traumatic growth is not about forcing gratitude, forgiveness or meaning onto painful experiences. It is about creating the conditions that allow the brain and body to reorganize around greater safety, connection, possibility and choice. In This Episode We Discuss • What post-traumatic growth actually means and why it is more than a mindset shift • How trauma shapes the brain's predictions of safety, threat and identity • Why forcing forgiveness, gratitude or meaning too soon can lead to suppression and bypassing • The role of relational healing, co-regulation and belonging in post-traumatic growth • How oxytocin and social connection help regulate the human stress response • Why connection itself can feel threatening after trauma • How sensory inputs influence nervous system regulation and threat prediction • Why repeatedly revisiting trauma does not necessarily create healing • How healing itself can become an identity that keeps us caught in a cycle of continually searching for the next breakthrough • What neuroplasticity actually means and how repetition strengthens new neural pathways • Why old protective patterns can reappear without erasing the growth that has already occurred • Peak somatic experiences, psychedelics and the difference between an opening and integration • How sleep, digestion, pain, mood and other nervous system outputs can help us recognize whether change is actually occurring • Why humans may have an intrinsic orientation toward growth while still requiring the right conditions for that growth to emerge Resources
Child immune system support isn't about stopping every cold — it's about knowing which ones are normal. Nurse Doza breaks down how a school-age immune system actually develops, what's worth a closer look, and five things you can do at home: sleep, food, the right supplements, movement, and nervous system care. Plus the one nutrient that keeps coming back low on lab work. Featured Product The D (4-Month Supply) — $75 Vitamin D receptors sit on immune cells throughout the body — in the gut, the sinuses, the lungs — and vitamin D is one of the most commonly low results on a standard lab panel. The D pairs vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) with vitamin K2 as MK-7 in a single daily capsule, and one bottle runs four months. One habit, one bottle, the whole season covered.
Picture the sound of a bone snapping - the kind of sound that makes you wince - and ask yourself how often you've thought about your bone health. Most of us only think about bone density when something breaks. Until then, your bones stay almost invisible, carrying you through every day. In today's episode, Professor Elaine Dennison, a world-leading expert in bone health, explains why that needs to change, why stronger bones are key to living more healthy years, and why declining bone health isn't inevitable. Elaine explains why it's not just about avoiding broken bones, but about learning to understand one of the most important living tissues in your body. By the end of the episode, you'll know exactly how to protect your bones so they can look after you now and for many years to come. Could your bones be the missing anti-aging link you've been missing?
Is the sun really as dangerous as we have been led to believe?I've always questioned this and have never chosen to shun the sun as a result.What if some of the most important inputs to your health aren't found in a bottle—but in sunlight, darkness, and the timing of your daily life?In this episode, Rachel Maurice returns to continue the conversation from Episode 106 and dives deep into circadian biology, light as a biological signal, mitochondrial function, structured water, melanin, sleep, and the fundamentals of quantum biology.Rachel shares her own experience with chronic fatigue and sleep struggles after leaving the medical system in 2021—and how two simple changes, morning sunlight and blue-light blocking at sunset, dramatically changed her energy and sleep within weeks.We also explore why modern indoor environments may be disrupting the signals our biology evolved around, why when you get light matters, the importance of darkness at night, and why getting the fundamentals right may matter more than constantly searching for the next supplement or health hack.In This Episode01:00 Fundamentals vs. Latest Trends: Light as a Biological Signal03:23 Three Things We're Taught to Fear: Salt, Cholesterol & Sun03:58 Discovering Circadian Biology Through Dr. Jack Kruse04:53 Chronic Fatigue & Sleep Struggles After Leaving the Medical System05:56 Biophysics Runs the Body, Not Biochemistry07:13 The Car Mechanic Analogy: Silencing Signals vs. Fixing the Problem08:04 Two Changes That Transformed Rachel's Fatigue09:37 Becoming Board Certified in Quantum Biology10:24 What Changed Beyond Energy: Mental, Emotional & Physical Health11:00 Why the Hospital Environment Can Be the Opposite of Healing12:59 Modern Medicine, Chronic Disease & Rachel's Decision to Leave16:49 What Is Circadian Rhythm?18:57 Shift Work, Lifespan & the Circadian Mechanism19:26 The Master Clock & Blue Light at Sunrise21:38 Morning Light, Cortisol & Reproductive Hormones23:32 Why Timing Matters With Light Exposure24:29 Sunrise Red & Infrared Light25:43 Red/Infrared Light, Mitochondria & Energy26:29 Structured Water, Exclusion Zone & Cellular Voltage28:05 Exclusion Zone, Toxins & Terrain Theory29:53 Why Alkaline Water May Not Work as Advertised1:00:00 “Death by a Thousand Cuts” & Cumulative Toxic Burden1:01:28 Vitamin D & What Happens After Sun Exposure1:02:27 Sunburn, DNA Repair & Circadian Timing1:07:27 Fundamentals Over Hacks: Why Supplements Aren't Everything1:10:04 Progress Over Perfection & Energy-Efficient Windows1:12:47 Are Modern Windows Creating an Energy Crisis in the Body?1:13:40 Greenery, Shade, Red Light & Infrared1:15:59 Building Your “Sun Callus”1:17:16 Infradian Rhythms & Seasonal Biology1:18:46 UVA, Melanin & Protection From UVB1:19:52 Melanin as a “Master Molecule”1:23:41 Skin Pigmentation & Electromagnetic Protection1:25:45 Why We Spend So Much Time Indoors1:28:08 Light, the Microbiome & the Hadza1:40:16 LED vs. Incandescent Light at Night1:42:39 Why Darkness Matters for Nighttime Repair1:45:55 Rachel's Personal Sleep Routine1:49:25 Practical Tips for Shift Workers1:53:05 Circadian Misalignment: The Air Traffic Controller Analogy1:57:10 Rachel's Resources & How to Work With Her1:59:09 LifeWave Patches & Lifestyle Change2:00:37 Closing: Rewilding the Life We Were Meant to LiveYou don't need another hack.Start with the fundamentals: morning light, appropriate light exposure during the day, darkness at night, sleep, movement, nutrition, and alignment with the natural rhythms your biology evolved around.As Rachel says throughout the conversation: progress over perfection.If you enjoyed this episode, please share and consider going to www.sovereigncollective.org/shop to check out my offerings and get a deal while supporting the podcast.

What if the answer to better health isn't always another prescription?In this episode of the Revelations Podcast, Reagan welcomes back Dr. George Kramer for a fascinating conversation about the history of medicine, the rise of the pharmaceutical model, and the growing return to natural and whole-person approaches to health.Dr. Kramer shares how his experience at Mayo Clinic and decades of practicing physical and integrative medicine shaped his approach to healing. They discuss how medicine moved from an emphasis on prevention, nutrition, lifestyle, and the body's natural ability to heal toward a system increasingly focused on diagnosing disease and treating symptoms with medication.They explore the importance of diet, exercise, sleep, morning light, breathing, stress reduction, gut health, vitamins and minerals, and spiritual health. Dr. Kramer also explains why he believes the mind, body, spirit, and soul should all be considered when looking at a person's health.You'll also hear personal stories about magnesium, migraines, atrial fibrillation, chronic pain, hormone health, prayer, and the surprising ways seemingly simple changes can make a difference.Dr. Kramer explains why he believes medicine is beginning to rediscover some of the principles that natural and integrative practitioners have emphasized for decades—and why patients can take a more active role in understanding and caring for their health.Most importantly, this conversation points back to a biblical perspective: our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and caring for our health can be part of caring for what God has entrusted to us.Find more from Revelations Podcast hosted by Reagan Kramer: Website | Instagram | Apple Podcast | YoutubeBecome Part of Our Mission!

Innate–Adaptive Balance and BWH 85 Beta-Glucan with Functional Medicine Physician Dr. Rob Rountree: He brings a nuanced view of immunity that rejects the simple “immune boosting” dimmer-switch model and emphasizes immune regulation and readiness. He reviews innate immunity as sentinel cells using pattern recognition receptors (e.g., macrophages) and explains how innate and adaptive systems interface, with innate signaling training adaptive responses; chronic inflammatory disease is framed as rooted in innate dysregulation. He reveals how immune responses can both protect and harm (candida, cytokine storm concerns during COVID) and why test-tube “stimulation” doesn't equal human effects. The focus is a purified brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) beta-1,3/1,6-glucan (BWH 85, 85% purity), its triple-helix structure, receptors (Dectin-1, CR3), dosing (100–500 mg), evidence for improving vaccine response in elders, and potential relevance for autoimmunity, athletes, and cancer surveillance alongside lifestyle and key nutrients like vitamins A, C, D and zinc.
In this episode, Dr. David Jockers sits down with Dr. Sara Pugh, who holds a PhD in molecular mechanisms and was the first board-certified quantum biologist, for a conversation about the health input almost nobody is optimizing: light. Quantum biology, as she explains it, is simply looking at health through light, water, and magnetism, with a heavy focus on the mitochondria and the electrons that carry our life force. You will learn why the specific blend of red, blue, and violet light at sunrise sets your body clocks and switches on hormonal cascades in the pituitary gland, why glass blocks roughly half the red light and all of the grounding benefit, how UVA builds the serotonin you will convert to melatonin later, and when UVB is actually available to make vitamin D from cholesterol. Dr. Pugh and Dr. Jockers also dig into the sunscreen and sunglasses debate, the dietary strategies that build real sun tolerance, and why DHA is a quantum molecule that can turn light into electricity and back again. From there the conversation turns to Dr. Pugh's nine-day water fast, why she ended it a day early when her leptin came back at 0.7, what refeeding after an extended fast actually requires, and how sauna, cold plunges, and other hormetic stressors build resilience when the dose is right.

What if avoiding the sun carries health risks of its own?In this episode, Drs. May and Tim revisit the relationship between sunlight, cholesterol, statins, and longevity. They unpack a large Swedish observational study linking low sun exposure with higher mortality and question whether conventional advice has oversimplified the role of sunlight in human health.From vitamin D and cholesterol to skin cancer concerns and cardiovascular risk, this conversation explores why the full picture may be more complicated than “sun bad, statins good.”In this episode:What a Swedish study found about sun exposure and mortalityWhy observational research shows association—not causationHow sunlight supports vitamin D production and other biological processesThe complicated relationship between cholesterol, statins, and heart healthWhy absolute risk matters when evaluating medical treatmentsHow fear-based health messaging can overlook important tradeoffsThe importance of discussing your individual risks with your physicianThe takeaway? Health rarely fits into a simple headline. Get informed, understand your personal risk factors, and make decisions based on the complete picture—not fear.

Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Pasture-Raised Eggs and Smarter Supplementation [0:02:35] Clint's Podcasts & New Health Success-Story Show Clint mentions he has multiple podcasts under the Nuga Podcast umbrella. Shares that he's curating and sharing many shows (20+). Ed and Clint plan a new podcast through Nutrition World on health success stories. [0:03:02] Ed's Injury & The Body's Healing Power Ed describes nearly severing his middle finger in a steel door. Took 3 days to stop bleeding, now ~70% healed in 5 days. Uses this to illustrate the “magic” of the human body when given what it needs. Critiques tendency to credit treatments instead of the body's inherent healing capacity. Highlights tension between the traditional medical model and holistic philosophies. [0:04:25] New Azure Partnership for Food Products Announces partnership with Azure (AZURE): Nutrition World will stock ~100 new high-quality, holistic food items: Maple syrup, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, organic chicken breast, cheeses, farm butters, etc. Positioned as top-quality natural food products aligned with Nutrition World's standards. [0:05:13] Ed's Bodybuilding Contest Prep & Carb Refeed Lesson Ed is training for his 4th Chattanooga fitness/bodybuilding contest. Coached by Matt Davis (Train Station gym owner) and his wife Julie. Current approach: High protein, ~40% fewer calories than usual. Dealing with hunger and caloric restriction. Matt's key advice: Eat 300g carbs (vs usual 50g) on a specific Sunday. Result: Ed realized how depleted he had been; refeed improved performance and appearance. [0:11:08] Segment with Kristy: Homesteading, Chickens, and Truly Pasture-Raised Eggs Christy: long-time friend and staff member at Nutrition World; now a homesteader. Has ~100 chickens, plus donkey, goats, dogs, cats, husband. Sells eggs through Nutrition World; Ed personally eats 12–18 of her eggs per week. Philosophy: Doesn't “domesticate” or Instagram her chickens. Lets chickens “do chicken things”: peck, eat bugs, scratch soil. No chemicals on property: no weed killers, garden chemicals, or pest sprays. Birds are effectively free-range in the woods, not fenced. Predator Management with Donkey & Dogs Previously lost 3 chickens to a fox attack. Now uses: Bradford the donkey – daytime guardian; alerts with noise and stomping. Great Pyrenees dog – night guardian for coyotes. Roosters help herd hens to cover when alerted. [0:15:36] Water Filtration & “Structured Water” for Animals Christy filters all animal water with a strong (non-RO) filtration system. Then uses a “structuring” device that swirls water to mimic natural flowing water over rocks, restoring “life” and improving hydration. Reports animals (and people) feel more hydrated and less thirsty on structured water. [0:18:13] Egg Production, Breeds, and Yolk Color Different shell colors = different breeds (white Leghorn, Rhode Island Red, etc.). Shell color does NOT indicate health (brown ≠ healthier than white). Key health marker: deep orange yolk Pale yellow = missing nutrients, especially protein-rich, nutrient-dense feed. Production: A chicken lays about 5–6 eggs/week, with 3 most productive years. Christy does not cull hens at 2–3 years like many operations; keeps older birds for tick and bug control and because they're still valuable. [0:21:17] Feed, Herbs, and Natural Health Strategies Summer: chickens get very little commercial feed, mostly bugs and forage. Uses pumpkin seeds, oregano, rosemary, etc. daily to support gut health and control worms. Avoids antibiotics; instead builds terrain (overall resilience) through diet and environment. [0:22:07] Eggs as “Perfect Protein” & Cholesterol Discussion Ed: eggs have top-tier Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER) and complete amino acid profile. Highlights key yolk nutrients: especially choline for brain health. Addresses cholesterol myth: Ed eats 12–18 eggs/week, yet his total cholesterol is ~140 and ApoB is 43 (very low). Emphasizes ApoB and Lp(a) are more meaningful than plain cholesterol. Suggests dietary cholesterol from eggs is not the main driver of cardiovascular risk for most people. Organic eggs: chickens get organic feed, but may still be caged indoors. Producers can sometimes switch feed briefly and still qualify. Pasture-raised: chickens outdoors, in sunlight, foraging — Christy's preference and Ed's recommendation. Chickens are not vegetarians; they're meant to eat bugs and animal protein, so “vegetarian-fed” marketing is misleading for their natural diet. [0:26:34] Other Egg Tips Chickens love scrambled eggs as a high-protein treat. She also feeds them crushed eggshells back for calcium, supporting strong shells. Storing unwashed farm-fresh eggs: Have a natural “bloom” (protective coating). Can be kept unrefrigerated for ~6 weeks or more. Storing retail eggs: Legally must be washed, removing that coating. Must therefore be refrigerated and cannot safely sit on the counter. [0:33:27] Segment with Curt Dearing: Deprescribing & “Desupplementing” Curt recaps prior discussion on deprescribing medications and the danger of polypharmacy (average American: ~17 prescriptions/year). Introduces “desupplementing”: Many people take too many supplements, often focused on low-impact (“tier 4”) items rather than foundational ones. Goal: simplify supplement regimens, cut redundancy, and focus on what truly matters. Warns about a false sense of security: People think “I'm taking a pill, so I don't need to improve diet or lifestyle.” Applies to pharmaceuticals and supplements. [0:37:41] Case Study: Simplifying a Real Person's Regimen Medications this person was on: Atorvastatin (for cholesterol) Nexium (PPI for reflux) Amlodipine (for blood pressure) Zoloft (for mood) Curt's key points: Standard lipid panel is limited; LDL number alone is not predictive. Recommends advanced lipoprotein testing (ApoB, etc.) and calcium score. Patient had a calcium score of 0 (good), but: That only measures calcified plaque, not soft plaque. Still must monitor inflammation markers like hs-CRP. On specific meds: Atorvastatin: Curt can support stopping it outright, especially with good advanced labs and zero calcium score. Notes statins lower numbers but don't always improve real-world outcomes or calcium scores. Nexium (PPI): Must taper (risk of rebound acid if stopped cold turkey). Long-term use harms magnesium, calcium, micronutrient absorption and may affect bones, kidneys, cognition. Amlodipine: Often tapered (half-dose a few weeks, then lower), while improving lifestyle and boosting magnesium intake. Curt believes conventional targets may push blood pressure too low in older adults. Zoloft: Psych meds generally need careful tapering, not abrupt cessation. [0:47:51] Desupplementing: Cutting Redundancy & Upgrading Quality Key supplement clean-up actions Curt recommends in the case study: Switch to a high-quality multivitamin that includes: B vitamins → drop separate B-complex. CoQ10 (100 mg) → drop separate CoQ10. Vitamin D: always pair with Vitamin K for calcium direction (bones vs arteries). Probiotics: Take breaks (e.g., a month off periodically). Rotate brands/strains, including spore-based options. Quercetin + stinging nettle for allergies: Great combo, but if allergies are seasonal, use it seasonally, not all year. Magnesium: Many people take too little and/or the wrong form. Curt prefers glycinate and taurate for blood pressure, relaxation, sleep, and broad benefits. Omega-3s: Ensure triglyceride form for better absorption. For blood pressure and inflammation, consider high-DHA formulas (e.g., DHA Extra ~960 mg DHA). Berberine/Bergamot: Combines as “Berbercol” to support lipids, blood sugar, and cardiovascular health. Weight-loss products: Instead of chasing stimulants, tackle sleep quality, mood, and lifestyle (he mentions different forms of saffron for mood vs weight management, with the right extract making a difference).

[0:56:11] Policy Wins, Tax Treatment of Supplements, and Food Spots Ed shares good news on alternative health funding: Despite fears it might be cut from the federal budget, support for alternative/holistic health remains in the proposal. Dietary Supplement Access Act: Would classify dietary supplements as a qualified medical expense in the IRS code. Proposed annual limits: Up to $500/year per individual. $250/year for married filing separately. Could effectively make many people's basic supplement costs tax-advantaged.

What happens when you've been diagnosed with CIRS, followed the protocol, and still don't feel better?In this episode of the Gutsy Health Podcast, Dr. Stadler of Red River Orem joins the conversation to explore why chronic illness rarely fits neatly into a single diagnosis. They unpack the overlap between CIRS, autoimmunity, MCAS, food sensitivities, blood sugar dysregulation, cortisol, anemia, and neurological symptoms and why comprehensive testing can be critical for understanding what is actually driving a patient's symptoms.They also discuss the importance of treating chronic illness in the right biochemical order, identifying underlying immune triggers, and helping patients understand their own bodies instead of becoming permanently dependent on a practitioner.TIMESTAMPS00:00 – When Your Tests Say “Nothing Is Wrong”01:00 – Meet Dr. Stadler of Red River Orem03:00 – Why CIRS Isn't One-Size-Fits-All05:00 – Dr. Stadler's Functional Medicine Background08:00 – Bridging Conventional and Functional Medicine09:00 – The Problem With Self-Diagnosing CIRS11:00 – CIRS vs. Neurological Damage13:00 – Why Chronic Illness Symptoms Overlap15:00 – Why Deeper Testing Matters16:00 – Autoimmunity Mistaken for CIRS17:00 – C4a, MMP-9 and Other CIRS Markers19:00 – Low MSH and Genetic Susceptibility20:00 – Where to Start With CIRS, Autoimmunity and MCAS21:00 – Stop Guessing and Start Testing22:00 – Treating Chronic Illness in Biochemical Order23:00 – The Role of Anemia and Iron25:00 – Finding the Triggers Behind Immune Dysregulation26:00 – Blood Sugar, Cortisol, Vitamin D and Anemia28:00 – MCAS, Histamine and Food Sensitivities30:00 – When You Seem to React to Everything32:00 – What Can Drive Gut Permeability34:00 – Should You Eliminate Every Reactive Food?35:00 – IgG Food Sensitivity Testing36:00 – Dr. Stadler's Preferred Testing Lab38:00 – How Chronic Stress Affects Immune Function40:00 – The Blood Sugar–Cortisol Connection41:00 – Hypoglycemia, Adrenaline and Anxiety42:00 – Why Blood Sugar Dips Can Worsen Neurological Symptoms43:00 – What Your Neurons Need to Function45:00 – CIRS and Neurological Symptoms47:00 – Treating the Individual, Not Just the Diagnosis48:00 – MCAS vs. Histamine Dysregulation49:00 – Food Allergies vs. Food Sensitivities51:00 – Identifying and Addressing Immune Triggers52:00 – Teaching Patients to Manage Their Own Health53:00 – Why Are More People Chronically Sick?54:00 – Stress and Endocrine Disruptors55:00 – Sedentary Lifestyles and Immune Health56:00 – The Rise of Autoimmunity57:00 – Has Chronic Stress Become Our Normal?59:00 – Rebuilding the Body's Adaptability to Stress1:00:00 – Managing the Stressors You Can Control1:01:00 – How to Work With Dr. StadlerRESOURCES & LINKS MENTIONEDRed River OremFor consultations with Dr. Stadler and the Red River Orem team.Phone: 801-691-1765ImmunoLabsMentioned by Dr. Stadler as a laboratory he has used for IgG food sensitivity testing.Connect with the Gutsy Health PodcastFollow and message the Gutsy Health Podcast on Instagram with topics you'd like Dr. Stadler to cover in future episodes.Send us Fan Mail
In this month’s Ask Me Anything episode, host Amelia Phillips answers three listener questions spanning some very different corners of women’s health. First, do those viral lymphatic drainage gloves actually do anything? Amelia unpacks how the lymphatic system really works, where manual lymphatic drainage has evidence behind it, and whether at-home massage tools can genuinely “detox” your body or simply help with temporary puffiness. Next, what do you do when you’re faithfully taking vitamin D but your blood levels just won’t budge? Amelia runs through some of the common reasons vitamin D can remain stubbornly low, including dosage, absorption, timing, body composition, medications and even the time of year you test. Finally, a listener taking a GLP-1 medication has lost 8kg but is struggling with fatigue and a dramatically reduced appetite. Amelia explains why nutrient density becomes so important when you’re eating less, which foods give you the biggest nutritional bang for your buck, and how to protect your protein, fibre, healthy fat, vitamin and mineral intake when there simply isn’t much room on the plate. Plus, Amelia shares details of her new 14 Day Vitality Reset and the upcoming Prevention World Menopause Day Lunch in Sydney, where she’ll be joining a line-up of leading women’s health experts.

Relapses make life with MS unpredictable. Understanding what they are, why they happen, and how best to manage them can make a relapse less scary and easier to navigate. This week, Dr. Gabriela Karolidis, a board-certified neurologist and neuroimmunologist at Thomas Jefferson University, joins us for a deep dive into MS relapses. The MS International Federation has just updated the Atlas of MS, showing more than 3 million people living with MS worldwide. We're sharing the details behind the new numbers. We'll also share a study showing how wearable activity trackers add a dimension of real-world data that provides a more complete picture of an individual's mobility throughout the day. We'll tell you about research on Vitamin D supplements that fails to determine whether they are beneficial for people living with MS. We're sharing study results showing that social and socioeconomic factors clearly affect cognitive function among people living with MS. We're also sharing results from a nationwide study in Denmark that focused on whether high-efficacy DMTs affect progression independent of relapse activity (PIRA). And we'll tell you about a fall prevention study that you may be eligible to participate in (compensation provided!). We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

Send us Fan MailYou get your vitamin D results back and the report screams “HIGH” in red. Do you actually need to panic, or do you need context? Speaking of Women's Health Podcast host Dr. Holly Thacker walks through why vitamin D is often misunderstood, how age, latitude, indoor life, and sunscreen change what your skin can make, and why “normal” lab ranges don't always match what we're aiming for in real preventive care. She connects vitamin D3 to women's health in a practical way: bone strength and osteoporosis prevention, muscle function and fall risk, oral health, mood support, blood pressure, and the ripple effects of low levels during winter. She also talks through women-specific concerns we see every day, including PMS symptoms, pregnancy needs for fetal development and maternal health, and why nutrition and vitamin D status deserve a place in the broader conversation around cervical health alongside appropriate gynecologic evaluation. Finally, she explains the missing link that trips up a lot of people: magnesium. Because magnesium is required to metabolize and activate vitamin D, supplementing D without supporting magnesium can backfire with fatigue or cramps.Support the show
THE HOMEOPATHY HEALTH SHOW Beyond the Smile: Integrating Homeopathy into Modern Dentistry Featuring Dr. Samantha Jugdev Episode Summary Can a visit to the dentist become a more holistic, compassionate and healing experience? In this fascinating episode of The Homeopathy Health Show, Atiq Ahmad Bhatti and Naila Cheema welcome Dr. Samantha Jugdev, an award-winning dental surgeon, homeopath and educator, to explore the powerful relationship between oral health and whole-body wellbeing. Drawing upon her unique experience as both a dentist and Fellow of the Faculty of Homeopathy, Dr. Jugdev explains how homeopathy can work seamlessly alongside conventional dentistry to support healing, reduce anxiety, improve recovery after dental procedures and provide truly patient-centred care. Sharing remarkable clinical experiences, from her early days as an Army dentist to leading homeopathic education for healthcare professionals, she demonstrates that dentistry is about far more than teeth; it is about understanding the person behind the smile. The conversation explores dental anxiety, gum disease, root canal treatment, tissue salts, teething, orthodontics, holistic dentistry, fluoride, oral health and the exciting future of integrative dental care. It is an inspiring discussion showing how conventional excellence and homeopathic philosophy can work together to achieve the very best outcomes for patients. In This Episode We Explore From Army Dentist to Homeopath Dr. Jugdev's journey from military dentistry into homeopathy. How a single clinical case transformed scepticism into conviction. The remarkable patient cases that inspired a lifelong passion for integrative care. The Mouth as a Window to Whole-Body Health Why oral health reflects the health of the entire person.

The Future of Integrative Dentistry Why more dentists are beginning to explore homeopathy. Educating healthcare professionals through the National Centre for Integrative Medicine (NCIM). Creating a future where conventional dentistry and homeopathy work side by side to improve patient care. About Our Guest Dr. Samantha Jugdev Dr. Samantha Jugdev is a General Dental Practitioner, Fellow of the Faculty of Homeopathy (FFHom) and one of the UK's leading advocates for integrating homeopathy into modern dental practice. After beginning her career as a dentist in the British Army, she developed a passion for homeopathy following remarkable clinical experiences that transformed her understanding of healing. She became a Member of the Faculty of Homeopathy in 2015 before progressing to Fellowship and now serves as Education Lead for Homeopathy at the National Centre for Integrative Medicine (NCIM). She also represents NCIM on the Faculty of Homeopathy's Academic and Examining Board and is Chairperson of the British Homeopathic Dental Association, where she continues to promote education, research and the integration of homeopathy within dentistry. Through her clinical practice in Oxfordshire, Dr. Jugdev offers patients an approach that combines evidence-based dentistry with compassionate, holistic care - demonstrating that the healthiest smiles begin by treating the whole person, not just their teeth.
In dieser Folge spreche ich über Nährstoffmängel, die bei Beschwerden wie Kiefer-, Nacken- und Rückenproblemen häufig übersehen werden. Dabei geht es nicht nur um Vitamin D, sondern um vier weitere wichtige Nährstoffe, die bei sehr vielen Patientinnen und Patienten eine relevante Rolle spielen. Denn entscheidend ist nicht nur, ob ein Nährstoffmangel besteht. Auch der tatsächliche Status im Körper, die Qualität der eingenommenen Präparate und vor allem die richtige Dosierung spielen eine wichtige Rolle. Ich zeige dir, warum diese drei Aspekte so häufig unterschätzt werden und weshalb es sinnvoll sein kann, bei anhaltenden Beschwerden auch den eigenen Nährstoffstatus genauer unter die Lupe zu nehmen. Außerdem erfährst du, welche Nährstoffe besonders relevant sein können und worauf du bei der Einnahme achten solltest. Und hier kannst du unseren Nährstofftest bestellen (optional inkl. Beratung) sowie eigene Supplements bestellen: https://stefaniekapp.myshopify.com/ Kieferwissen Website (Erstgespräch, Webinare): https://kieferwissen.de/ Hier findest du das Smoothie-Rezept und Video dazu: https://www.instagram.com/stefanienicolekapp/
The frozen shoulder. The 3 a.m. anxiety. The brain fog and the rage that come out of nowhere. For decades, women were told it was "just stress" and sent home with an antidepressant. This week, Dr. A and Mary Alice welcome back the woman changing that — Dr. Mary Claire Haver, the OB-GYN The New York Times calls the "Menopause Queen" — for a full masterclass on perimenopause.It can start in your late 30s, it lasts 7 to 10 years, and almost no one warned us. Dr. Haver explains what's really happening in your body and brain, why so many women are dismissed, and what you can actually do about it — HRT, progesterone, vaginal estrogen, sleep, mood, and the myth that you have to wait until it's "bad enough" to get help. Because suffering isn't the price of admission.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PMOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.

She has dedicated her career to helping women better understand the biological changes that happen during midlife and has been called the “Menopause Queen” by The New York Times. She is the author of the bestselling The New Menopause and her newest book, The New Perimenopause, which focuses on the years leading up to menopause.

Chronic back pain that no scan explains? Dimple Jangda sits down with Prof. Dr. Ali Irani — the first sports physiotherapist in the Indian subcontinent and physiotherapist to the Indian cricket team from 1987 to 1997 — to unpack why pain persists, why vitamin deficiencies are so widely missed, and what actually supports a long, mobile life.In this episode, Dimple shares her own diagnosis publicly for the first time: eight episodes of being bedridden with sciatica-like pain, MRIs, X-rays and blood tests that explained nothing — until one question from Dr. Irani led to an HLA-B27 diagnosis and ankylosing spondylitis.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN▪ The one question that changes a pain diagnosis: if pain is worst in the evening it's usually mechanical; if it's worst on waking and eases as you move, it points to something pathological.▪ Why vitamin D and B12 deficiency is so common — Dr. Irani estimates over half of Indians are deficient — and why sunlight alone isn't enough. In a study of eight Mumbai football teams training 3–4 hours daily in the sun, almost all players were still deficient.▪ The missing mineral: without enough magnesium, your body can't hold on to vitamin D3 and B12. Pumpkin seeds and roasted chana are traditional sources.▪ Why standard blood panels don't include D3 and B12 — you have to ask for them.▪ Swimming for spinal conditions, why extension exercises undo a day spent bending forward, and the posture problem behind widespread neck pain.▪ Brain mapping and the five states of mind — delta, theta, alpha, beta, gamma. Athletes recalling their best games measured in alpha; those recalling their worst measured in beta or gamma. Why chanting Om and echo sounds shift you into alpha.▪ Lung capacity and lifespan: why breathing rate correlates with longevity across species, and what pranayama does to vital capacity.▪ Grounding and earthing — why two-pin phone chargers have no earth, and what that means for your nervous system.▪ Flat feet, foot arches and why insoles change posture, knees and spine.▪ Colon health and medication absorption — why cleaning the gut can matter more than increasing a dose.▪ Ice versus heat, cold plunges, pelvic floor health, Indian versus Western toilets and hip replacement rates.▪ Dr. Irani's 40-day no-gossip challenge, and why he believes your relationship with your parents predicts your success.ABOUT DR. ALI IRANIHead of Department, Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation Centre, Nanavati Max Super Speciality Hospital, Mumbai. Physiotherapist to the Indian cricket team 1987–1997.

Morley M. Robbins, MBA, CHC, is a health educator, author, and creator of the Root Cause Protocol, a nutrition-focused framework centered on the relationship between copper, iron, magnesium, and other nutrients. He earned a BA in Biology from Denison University and an MBA in Healthcare Administration from George Washington University. Before focusing on nutrition and mineral research, Robbins spent more than three decades working as a hospital executive and healthcare consultant. He later trained in wellness coaching, nutritional counseling, and functional diagnostic nutrition and became a certified health coach. Robbins is also the founder of the Magnesium Advocacy Group and author of [Cu]re Your Fatigue. His work explores mineral metabolism, cellular energy, stress, and the relationships among copper, iron, magnesium, and calcium. His second edition of [Cu]re Your Fatigue was published by BenBella Books in November 2025. His podcast interview also describes his transition from hospital administration and consulting into years of independent research on minerals and health.

Maybe the cycle gets cancelled. Maybe you make it all the way to retrieval and get one egg. When you ask why, the answer comes back the same way every time. It is your low AMH. It is your age. You are a poor responder. Those are real factors, and I am not going to tell you the AMH does not matter. But if you are about to put your body, your finances, and yourself through another cycle, there is a bigger question worth asking. Is low AMH the whole explanation? Because these are two separate statements: I have diminished ovarian reserve, and low AMH explains everything that happened during that cycle. They are not the same statement. In this episode I walk through what AMH does and does not tell you, what I would want to understand about the 90 days before stimulation started, and what to ask your clinic before you go again. The full thyroid panel, including antibodies rather than TSH alone. Blood sugar and how it moves across a day. hs-CRP and unnecessary inflammation. Vitamin D you may be taking and may not be absorbing. Gut health, food sensitivity, the vaginal microbiome, nutrient status, and an autoimmune issue that gets mentioned as an afterthought when it belongs at the front of the file.

Episode 150. A milestone worth celebrating - and worth spending on something that actually matters. Today LeeAnne teaches the science of aging well, straightfrom one of the most credible independent longevity researchers working right now.LeeAnne Hayden went to Nashville and sat in a room with5,000 people while Dr. Rhonda Patrick, PhD, founder of FoundMyFitness, broke down the four fundamental things most people are not getting enough of - and how those gaps are making aging harder than it needs to be. Not complicatedinterventions. Not expensive procedures. Four foundational levers that the research says matter more than almost anything else.In this episode LeeAnne teaches all four of them, shareswhere she stands on each one personally, and explains what happened when her husband John sat in the same room and decided at 67 that he was ready to start taking his health seriously.Her BioAge - the age her cells actually register ratherthan her chronological age - came back at 47 and a half. She is 55. That is what consistent daily inputs over years actually looks like.The four levers Dr. RhondaPatrick presented:- Vitamin D - not a vitamin but a steroid hormone that regulatesover 1,000 genes and 70% of the US population has insufficient levels- Omega-3 index - a measurable, testable number that correlateswith lower all-cause mortality, better brain health, and lower inflammation- Magnesium - involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, stored in bone, widely deficient and dramatically underdiagnosed- NAD+ - required for cellular energy and DNA repair, declineswith age as inflammation burns through itAlso in this episode:- What BioAge actually is and how LeeAnne tested hers- Why vitamin D functions as a steroid hormone and what that means for women in menopause- The omega-3 comparison that stopped John cold- Why standard blood tests miss magnesium deficiency and what to do instead- The COSMOS study and why the 'multivitamins are expensive urine'narrative was wrong- What LeeAnne personally takes and why it landed differentlyafter hearing the science- A note for anyone who has had a cancer history and wants to know about NAD IV drips- Episode 150 - what 150 episodes actually means and where the show is goingSmall daily inputs compound over decades. You cannot fix in a year what has been declining since you were 20. But you can start now. The best time was 10 years ago. The second best time is right now.Connect with LeeAnne:- Instagram: @leeannehayden- Website: leeannehayden.com- Questions about what LeeAnne uses personally: reach out through the website or send a DM
Send us Fan MailVitamin D is one of the most commonly deficient nutrients in reproductive-aged women — and one of the most consistently overlooked in a fertility workup. It is not actually just a vitamin. Vitamin D functions as a hormone with receptors in the ovaries, uterus, placenta, and immune system. And the research on what happens to ovulation, implantation, and pregnancy when levels are low is compelling enough that no fertility evaluation should leave it out.In this episode of Cycle Wisdom, Dr. Monica Minjeur walks through exactly what vitamin D does in the reproductive system, why the standard prenatal vitamin dose is almost never enough, and what optimal levels actually look like — versus what most labs report as normal. Through Priya's story, a woman who had been taking a prenatal vitamin for two years and still had a vitamin D level of only 18, you will see how a simple, inexpensive intervention can be part of a picture that changes everything.You will learn:How vitamin D receptors throughout the reproductive system influence follicle development, endometrial thickness, implantation, and immune tolerance for early pregnancyWhy most prenatal vitamins contain only 400 IU — and why most women need 4,000 to 5,000 IU daily to reach and maintain optimal levelsHow to find the RIGHT supplement for suboptimal Vitamin D: Vitamin D3 with K2 (version menaquinone-7 or MK-7)What the research shows about vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy and its impact on the long-term health of your baby — including risks of multiple sclerosis, asthma, type 1 diabetes, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorderIf your vitamin D has never been tested as part of a fertility evaluation — this episode will show you exactly why it should be.

Let’s talk about testosterone testing and other important blood tests you can track for your overall health, wellness, vitality, and longevity. I recorded this show on the occasion of my first visit to the blood lab after signing up for Vitals Vault’s premium program, and I talk about some of my favorite markers while pedaling home from the lab. I focus a lot on testosterone because I believe it’s a great proxy for overall wellness, vitality, recovery, and resilience to stress. I share my own numbers, which have ranged from 562 to 1,004, and explain why I’m so intent on keeping testosterone levels high as I age. I also get into the roughly 1% annual decline in average male testosterone levels since the 1980s, vitamin D and the widespread fear of the sun, why looking beyond LDL can give you a better picture of your lipid panel, and the lifestyle practices that can help optimize testosterone—from sleep and diet to avoiding chronic cardio, lifting heavy things, sprinting once in a while, and even maintaining a winning relationship. TIMESTAMPS: Testosterone testing is the best proxy for your overall state of wellness, vitality, and recovery or resilience to stress. [00:51] Brad checks his testosterone level frequently because it is his way of monitoring the stress impact from his training. [5:41] Triglycerides to HDL ratio is a premier indicator of your heart disease risk factor. It is much better than looking at total LDL cholesterol. [06:42] In 2017 they lowered the ideal level of testosterone due to the widespread decline of testosterone among males around the world. [09:02] If you are not optimizing your sleep, including down and rest time, you cannot reduce your stress. [12:13] Get the junk out of your diet. If you are in that chronic cardio pattern in your exercise, you may be tanking your testosterone. [12:37] If there is arguing and other dysfunctional patterns in your relationship, it will tank your testosterone as well as shorten your lifespan. [13:34] Vitamin D comes from sun exposure more than from your diet or pills. [14:30] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com B.rad Whey Protein Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Heather and Vanessa put their opinions on the table and ask: Do we actually agree?Breakfast. Vitamin D. Detoxes. Coffee. Sunscreen. Raw milk. Parasite cleanses. Homeopathy. And even the idea that healing is supposed to be hard.We don't see everything the same way which is exactly what makes this conversation so interesting.We talk about why our beliefs around health need to be allowed to evolve, why what works for one person may not work for another, and why supplements, research, and outside advice can never completely replace learning to understand your own body.We also dive into the deeper side of healing: stress; emotions; spirituality; gratitude; trusting yourself; and recognizing that true health is about so much more than what you take.Because healing isn't one-size-fits-all. And you don't have to blindly follow someone else's rules to get healthier.

Episode Summary Why do you know you're safe logically, but your body still reacts as though you're in danger? Emotional regulation isn't about staying calm, avoiding difficult emotions, or suppressing how you feel. It's about your brain and nervous system working together to accurately interpret what's happening inside and around you so you can respond with flexibility instead of survival. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof are joined by NSI educator Matt Bush to explore the neuroscience of emotional regulation through the lens of brain integration, interoception, sensory processing, and neuroplasticity. Together they unpack why trauma disrupts communication between key brain networks, how chronic stress creates fragmented emotional processing, and why many people remain stuck in cycles of overwhelm, shutdown, perfectionism, dissociation, binge eating, emotional flooding, or emotional numbness despite years of personal development or therapy. The conversation also explores why emotional regulation is a trainable neurological skill, how simple nervous system practices improve brain integration, why sensory mismatch contributes to chronic stress, and how properly preparing the nervous system creates safer, more effective emotional processing—including during psychedelic experiences. If you've ever wondered why insight alone doesn't create lasting change, why your emotions sometimes feel bigger than the situation, or why your body seems to react before your mind can catch up, this episode offers a neuroscience-based roadmap toward regulation, resilience, and post-traumatic growth. In This Episode We Discuss What emotional regulation actually is—and what it is not Why emotional regulation depends on brain integration The roles of the insula, anterior cingulate cortex, cerebellum, and prefrontal cortex How trauma disrupts communication between brain networks Why chronic stress creates fragmented emotional processing The relationship between interoception, proprioception, and emotional regulation Sensory mismatch and its hidden impact on nervous system health Emotional flooding, shutdown, perfectionism, binge eating, and dissociation Why "fake it until you make it" comes with a physiological cost The neuroscience behind predictive coding and emotional interpretation Why emotions are physiological—not simply psychological How movement, vocalization, and nervous system regulation support emotional processing Brain-body integration and the limits of insight alone Emotional regulation during psychedelic and peak somatic experiences Building nervous system capacity through daily regulation practices Practical neuroscience tools that support resilience and post-traumatic growth Featured in This Episode NSI Foundations Bundle Learn the foundational neuroscience and practical nervous system tools behind everything taught inside the NeuroSomatic Intelligence Certification. https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/foundations Start Here FREE 2-Week Rewire Trial https://www.rewiretrial.com Learn More About NeuroSomatic Intelligence https://www.neurosomaticintelligence.com Watch More Trauma Rewired Episodes YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TraumaRewired Are you ready to become the woman who can carry the vision?

This is the second week of our four-part series on the 7th-leading cause of death in the United States. In this episode, we talk about:—The difference between the Disease Care model that focuses on symptoms and Structure-Function Care which focuses on the root cause of the problem. And how those approaches should work together for best patient results. —How Eli Lilly was put on the map by developing insulin, which was a "game-changer at extending life" for those with Diabetes. And the surprising story of the natural health practitioners that were behind the development of Eli Lilly's insulin. —The important role of pharmaceuticals for treating Diabetes, as well as their side-effects. And why it is always better to treat something naturally in a Structure-Function manner if you can reduce or eliminate the body's need for medication. —The shocking percentage of the adult population who have already tried GLP-1 drugs. And how the GLP-1 drugs are causing serious side-effects, including muscle-wasting (often called "Ozempic butt" and "Ozempic face"). —How Type 1 Diabetes CAN be reversed if diagnosed early enough through regular bloodwork. And how Structure-Function Care can help patients to lessen the amount of insulin they need, which helps to extend their longevity and overall health. —Why it is so important to get your kids checked regularly to help prevent diseases like Diabetes from developing. —The Enteroviruses that are involved in the development of Diabetes. And the importance of proper Zinc and Vitamin D levels in the prevention of Diabetes.—Why Dr. Prather says that food allergies, specifically for milk and gluten, contribute to Type 1 Diabetes in children. —The vitamins, minerals, and herbals that are most helpful for Diabetes. And how Holistic Integration can test to see which supplements will work best for each patient. —Why Dr. Prather calls Homeopathy "the secret weapon" at Holistic Integration.

Supplements and Morning Coffee: Timing Iron, Zinc, Calcium, B Vitamins, and Vitamin D: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin explains that coffee (and tea) can interfere with nutrient absorption and digestion, so certain supplements shouldn't be taken with morning coffee. Coffee's tannins and polyphenols can significantly reduce non-heme iron absorption (decaf doesn't prevent this), and similar binding issues may affect zinc; she recommends taking iron with water at least 1–2 hours away from coffee and pairing it with vitamin C. Because caffeine may increase urination, B vitamins (especially thiamine) may be lost more readily, so she suggests taking them with food but not with coffee. Vitamin D is best taken with a fat-containing meal (not washed down with coffee), and calcium supplements should be separated from coffee since caffeine can slightly increase calcium loss. She also notes interactions such as green tea reducing folate absorption, spinach oxalates limiting mineral absorption, phytates in bran/legumes reducing iron and zinc absorption, and calcium (milk or supplements) cutting iron absorption, emphasizing timing rather than eliminating these foods.

I once had a patient tell me, "You don't know much about vitamin D, do you?" He had a point, not because I hadn't studied it, but because so much of what we're taught about vitamin D simply hasn't caught up to the research.My patient's question led me down a path of research that changed how I treat every patient who walks through my door.In this episode, I break down Why vitamin D isn't a vitamin at all but a hormone quietly running the show for your gut and immune system Why the "toxic" dose you've been warned about is a myth that's kept millions of people needlessly deficient Why this one hormone might be the closest thing we have to a longevity switch.Plus, learn the exact number I push my own patients' levels to, and why your doctor's idea of "normal" is probably way too low.For full show notes and transcript: drgundry.com/how-much-vitamin-d-should-i-takeOn this episode, you'll learn: Why vitamin D isn't actually a vitamin (01:11)How nearly 80% of new patients turn out to be vitamin D deficient (you probably are too!)

Full show notes: https://bengreenfieldlife.com/sunpodcast In this episode, journalist Rowan Jacobsen, author of In Defense of Sunlight, challenges everything you thought you knew about sun exposure. Modeled after Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food, his book argues we've been gaslit into a "zero-sun policy" the science does not actually support. You'll hear why melanoma is tied to intermittent sunburns rather than steady sun, the surprising 2024 research suggesting UVB may be protective while UVA is the real concern, and how office culture, window glass, and car windows may all be hidden pieces of the skin cancer puzzle. You'll also learn why the vitamin D supplement story is more complicated than the pills suggest, how sunlight lowers blood pressure through nitric oxide and lifts your mood through natural opioids, where sunscreen genuinely helps and where hats and shirts do better, what to make of the new sunscreen ingredient Bemotrizinol, and how a simple 30-day reset of your light exposure could transform your sleep.
