If you describe your health and your life as: busy, exhausted, inflamed and ignored by your doctor, then you need to hear this.  Up to 92% of adults are metabolically unhealthy, and the "normal" lab ranges your doctor looks at to say "you're fine" are based on the average of that already sick population. Which means you'll never actually feel good if you keep going to your traditional family doctor. Dr. Elena Zinkov has helped over 20,000 women who refuse to settle with "normal" to feel like their vibrant selves again.   TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: How chronic stress hijacks your gut, hormones and immune system What cortisol dysregulation is and why it really matters What hidden infections you may have that are sabotaging your health (Candida, SIBO, parasites) Why you're being gaslit by your doctor How to feel like your vibrant self again   More from Dr. Elena Zinkov Website: drelenazinkov.com Clinic: proactivehealthnd.com Instagram: @drelenazinkov     Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Chronic pain affects 1 in 4 adults globally, and women are disproportionately affected. We're often told it's in our head, even by our doctors. But what if it's in our nervous system? In this powerful episode of the Uncover Your Eyes podcast, Dr. Meenal Agarwal explores the groundbreaking topic of Central Sensitization with guest Dr. Shabita Teja, a dual-trained Naturopathic Doctor and Pharmacist who shares her deeply personal and medical journey with chronic abdominal pain. Dr. Teja was one of the first patients in British Columbia to receive a spinal cord stimulator for Central Sensitization—a nervous system condition that continues to fly under the radar of traditional healthcare. Whether you're a healthcare professional, a patient living with chronic pain, or someone passionate about mental health, physical health, and healthcare innovations, this episode will expand your understanding of pain, the mind-body connection, and the power of self-advocacy in healing.

Nearly one out of every ten women around the globe have a chronic disease called endometriosis. This gynecological condition can be incredibly painful, at times debilitating. Advocates say the medical industry hasn't given this condition the attention it deserves, and many patients say they don't feel heard when they try to explain their symptoms. Lawmakers on Beacon Hill are now considering a bill that would create a special task force focused on improving research and treatment. Dr. Pietro Bortoletto, co-founder of Terra Fertility in Dedham, and his patient, Madeleine Rodriguez, join Nichole to talk about the condition and the efforts to bring more awareness to its impacts.

Ronda Hazell's story started in June 2024 when an echocardiogram showed she had a dilated ascending aorta (a dilation is a bulge where the diameter of the aorta gets bigger when it is more than 1.5 times normal size it is called an aneurysm).

Ronda has regular check-ups with a cardiologist to monitor her heart and aneurysm size.
