Send us Fan MailThis week on the Talking Pools Podcast, Rudy Stankowitz delivers one of the most brutally honest and emotionally grounded episodes yet — blending psychology, mentorship, advanced chemistry, industry culture, and drowning prevention into a single unapologetic ride through the modern swimming pool industry. Rudy opens the episode by tackling something most people in the industry rarely discuss openly: the mental chaos of becoming good at pool care. He breaks down how the swimming pool industry often throws people into the deep end with little structure, little guidance, and an overwhelming amount of misinformation. From social media “experts” diagnosing pools based on vibes instead of testing, to the psychological toll of green pool emergencies and impossible customer expectations, Rudy explains why mentorship matters more now than ever. The episode then dives into the deeper meaning behind the Talking Pools Podcast Mentor of the Year Award, revealing how last year's nominations exposed stories of mentors helping people survive addiction, rebuild careers, regain confidence, and completely change the trajectory of their lives. Rudy discusses this year's explosive growth in nominations and gives recognition to sponsors helping support mentorship culture throughout the industry, including Blu-Ray XL, Rev'd Up Apparel, and AquaComfort Water Group. Midway through the episode, Rudy gives a shout-out to The Chlorine King Show and host Erik Taylor, praising the show's authentic “in-the-trenches” perspective and raw humor that resonates with pool service professionals battling the same daily chaos. Then comes the chemistry deep dive.Rudy breaks down the biological differences between copper, silver, and zinc in swimming pool treatment systems — explaining why they are not interchangeable “miracle metals,” but instead function as entirely different biological stressors against algae, cyanobacteria, bacteria, and biofilms. He explores how copper disrupts photosynthesis and metabolism, silver attacks microbial survival systems, and zinc interferes with surface attachment and biofilm formation. The episode also explores the role of sequestrants, bioavailability, metal balance, and how improper chelation can reduce effectiveness. Using one of the most memorable analogies of the episode, Rudy describes: “Chlorine is the cop kicking in the door. Copper is the cutting power. Silver disables the command center. Zinc tears down the bunker where they're hiding.” The episode closes on an incredibly serious and emotional topic: drowning prevention.Referencing the latest homeowner drowning prevention issue from Service Industry News, Rudy discusses the psychological reality of drowning incidents, the importance of layered safety systems, and why pool professionals should view themselves as frontline safety advocates — not just chemistry experts or repair technicians. He discusses silent drowning, complacency, gate failures, supervision assumptions, CPR, alarms, electrical safety, and the emotional weight of preventable tragedy. This episode blends science, sarcasm, psychology, mentorship, chemistry, and hard truths into one of the most powerful Floc-It Friday episodes yet.

The Complete Guide to Energy, Muscle, Fat Loss, Recovery & Hormone Health for Men Over 40How can men over 40 naturally increase testosterone?Men over 40 can naturally increase testosterone by improving sleep quality, reducing stress and cortisol, building muscle through metabolic resistance training, eating a testosterone-supportive diet, losing belly fat, reducing exposure to estrogenic toxins, and optimizing key nutrients like magnesium, zinc, and vitamin D3. Lifestyle changes can significantly improve testosterone levels without TRT for many men.

If your bloodwork keeps coming back "normal," but youstill feel exhausted, anxious, and hormonally off — this episode is for you.Dana Irvine, FDNP CCT, breaks down Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA): what it is, what it reveals, and why it catches what standard blood tests routinely miss.

Chronic inflammation is silently driving some of the most common diseases today — and most people have no idea it's happening. In this episode, Nurse Doza breaks down five hidden triggers: poor sleep, refined grains, low vitamin D, omega-3 deficiency, and digestive issues — and exactly what you can start doing about each one today. FEATURED PRODUCT Liver Boost – MSW Nutrition Chronic inflammation doesn't just live in your joints or your gut — your liver is at the center of it all. The liver filters inflammatory byproducts, processes environmental toxins, manages hormones, and supports fat digestion. When it's overburdened, your inflammatory load goes up. Liver Boost from MSW Nutrition is formulated with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), milk thistle, and selenium to support liver detoxification, protect your antioxidant defenses, and ease the total burden your body is carrying — making it a natural complement to everything discussed in this episode.

Told donor eggs after failed IVF? There is a category of testing that your fertility clinic does not run. We rarely run a stool test and find nothing. The IVF cycle did not work. Maybe it was poor response. Maybe it was canceled before retrieval. Maybe you got embryos and they arrested. Maybe the transfer failed. Your clinic looked at your numbers and told you donor eggs. In this episode, Sarah Clark walks through the gut pattern the Fab Fertile team sees in women who come to us after failed IVF with a donor egg recommendation, and why this pattern changes the picture before the next decision. What this episode covers: H. pylori. One of the most common findings in the women who come to us after failed IVF. It impairs absorption of iron, vitamin B12, and zinc, the nutrients that affect egg quality, thyroid function, and hormone production. It is passed back and forth between partners through saliva. If you have it, there is a strong chance your partner has it too. Parasites, giardia, blastocystis. Common findings. Rarely tested at the fertility clinic. Bacterial overgrowth, including streptococcus. Fungal overgrowth and dysbiosis. The reason chasing an anti-candida diet without testing moves you in circles. Elevated calprotectin. A signal of gut inflammation, often present in women with IBD, Crohn's, colitis, and women with no formal diagnosis. Elevated zonulin. A marker of intestinal permeability. The pattern we see after rounds of antibiotics, sinus infections, UTIs, birth control, and high stress. Why this matters before a donor egg decision: H. pylori impairs iron absorption. Ferritin reads low or low-normal. The clinic says iron is fine because the lab range starts around 15. The fertility-optimized range is closer to 50. Iron is foundational to egg quality. The oxygen carrying capacity to your follicles depends on it. B12 affects methylation, the process your body uses to produce the co-factors needed for egg maturation. Zinc affects ovulation and progesterone production. Chronic gut inflammation affects ovarian response to stimulation, implantation, and miscarriage risk. When your clinic looks at a canceled cycle, arrested embryos, or a failed transfer and recommends donor eggs, they are responding to the outcome. They are not asking what is driving the outcome. This episode is for the woman sitting with a donor egg recommendation who is not ready to agree before she understands what was actually evaluated. Next steps: Access the free guide: What Your Clinic Missed. It walks through the markers we review before a donor egg recommendation, including the thyroid panel, the iron panel with the fertility target, the gut testing your REI does not order, the inflammatory markers, and the male side.

Jeremy Zakis details a burgeoning mouse plague in Western and South Australia, where mice are breeding rapidly and have become resilient to standard toxins. In response, the government has authorized farmers to double the dosage of zinc phosphide bait. This surge in prey has caused a corresponding increase in snake sightings, as predators forgo hibernation to feed. Most notably, a large red-bellied black snake was discovered living inside the walls of an emergency operating theater at John Hunter Hospital. Authorities were forced to close the theater to remove the snake, which had likely been eating local mice. (3/3)1899 PERTH WA

MK-677 also called Ibutamoren is an ORAL growth hormone-releasing peptide (GHRP) peptide therapy. We've talked about these types of peptides before when we discussed Ipamorelin. Unlike Ipamorelin it's taken by mouth and remains active for about 24 hours.  MK-677 increases growth hormone levels resulting in increased energy, lean muscle mass and strength, and improved sleep and muscle recovery.  Read the Full Episode Transcript: https://pepties.com/the-magic-of-mk-677/ Related Links/Products Mentioned: Peptide Podcast Partners Page https://pepties.com/partners/ Buy Peptides online at BioLongevity Labs: Use our link and enter COUPON CODE: PEPTIDEPODCAST  at checkout to receive 15% off your total order:  https://go.biolongevitylabs.com/SH5C Momentous Supplements (we use Creatine, Vital Aminos, Whey Protein) https://crrnt.app/MOME/OqGQOxGA LMNT – More Salt, Not Less.  https://elementallabs.refr.cc/default/u/johnjavit Thorne Supplements (we use Omega-3 with CoQ10, Red Yeast Rice, Zinc) https://get.aspr.app/SH1KvW Organifi Creatine and Shilajit Gummies http://rwrd.io/rlbkajm?c MitoZen (methylene blue for Cognitive Function, Anti-Aging, Mental Clarity) https://www.mitozen.com/ref/cnlwiztypt/ For skin and hair health (Copper Tripeptide-1)  Visit Luminose by Entera for an exclusive offer for Peptide Podcast listeners!  ** Promo code PEPTIDEPODCAST at checkout for 10% off an order or 10% off the first month of a subscribe-and-save. ** https://www.enteraskincare.com/?rfsn=8906839.f93c72 NAD+ Push Patch: https://www.pushpatch.com/

t's been two years since the collapse of Bonza and Rex – and while Koala Airlines is yet to launch, another aviation contender could be entering the market before long. Dubbed Zinc Airlines, the ultra-low-cost-carrier would pursue a business model similar to European airlines Wizz Air and Ryanair, with its founder saying Western Sydney Airport would offer a unique opportunity for new contenders – but is he right? On this week's Australian Aviation Podcast, Jake and David look at Zinc's plan to shake up the domestic aviation market, whether it can avoid the fate of failed carriers before it, and how it might take the fight to the big boys. Plus, the 2026 budget is out – what's in the government's $731.1 million aviation package, and what's got the GA and tourism sectors all riled up?

Guest: Dr. Neil Box President, Colorado Melanoma Foundation  Co-Founder, Colorado Melanoma Foundation & The Sun Bus Higher altitude greatly increases UV exposure—about 26% more in Denver and up to 50% more above 10,000 feet—making sunburn occur much faster. Skin cancer is the most common and largely preventable cancer in the U.S., and the Sun Bus Project helps address this by offering free skin checks, personalized skin‑damage assessments, and sun‑safety education in underserved communities. The mobile clinic has completed over 10,000 screenings and identified more than 100 suspected melanoma cases, along with many basal and squamous cell carcinomas. Zinc‑based sunscreen provides the best UVA and UVB protection, but shade and protective clothing should come first. Good sun safety is good for everybody.  Whatever you do, don't get a sunburn and be sun safe. https://www.thesunbus.org/

Send us Fan MailIn this week's Friday Five, I'm breaking down some of the standard blood markers I commonly look at in clinic when somebody is dealing with autoimmune disease, inflammation, fatigue, or hair loss — including alopecia.One of the biggest misconceptions I see is that “normal” blood tests automatically mean everything is functioning optimally. But in reality, many people continue to struggle with symptoms despite being told their results are fine.In this episode, I explain why interpretation matters just as much as the numbers themselves, and why looking at patterns across the body can often reveal far more than one isolated marker.I discuss:• Ferritin, transferrin and the wider iron picture• Why ferritin alone may not tell the full story in inflammatory conditions• Thyroid markers beyond TSH, including Free T3, Free T4 and thyroid antibodies• The role of thyroid hormone conversion in energy, metabolism and hair health• Vitamin D and immune regulation• Zinc and its role in immune resilience, skin and hair health• White blood cells, neutrophils and lymphocyte patterns in autoimmune disease• What triglycerides can tell us about metabolism, blood sugar regulation and inflammation• Why markers like serum B12 or HbA1c may not always reflect the full picture• The importance of interpreting symptoms alongside laboratory testingThis episode is not about becoming fearful of blood tests or obsessing over numbers. It's about understanding the body more deeply and recognising that subtle shifts in markers can sometimes provide important clues long before symptoms become more significant.If you've ever been told “everything looks normal” but still feel that something is off, this episode is for you.

Picky eating is not something parents simply have to "deal with." There are strategies they can use to help expand the diets of their children. In this episode of the Soaring Child podcast, Dana Kay sits down with ADHD Thrive Institute coach Andrea Daigle to unpack what's really behind picky eating. You'll learn why some kids rely on "safe foods," how texture sensitivity and digestion issues can drive food resistance, and why forcing bites may actually make things worse. You'll also discover that many children with ADHD who struggle at the dinner table are actually responding to deeper biological signals. Andrea shares simple, practical strategies parents can start using immediately—including the powerful "add, don't subtract" method and the easy-to-implement cheese grater strategy that helps expand your child's diet without triggering overwhelm. If mealtimes feel like a daily battle, this episode will give you a new perspective and a clear, compassionate path forward.

Hormone optimization is about more than testosterone levels. In this episode, Dr. Greg Jones sits down with Dr. Devaki Lindsey Berkson, a pioneer in functional medicine and hormone research, to explain why true longevity depends on hormone signaling, receptor sensitivity, gut health, and environmental resilience.Dr. Berkson shares why hormones function as the body's “software,” coordinating metabolism, cognition, immune balance, and cellular repair. She explains why normal lab values don't always reflect optimal function—and why many patients feel fatigued, inflamed, or hormonally imbalanced despite being told everything looks “fine.”Environmental toxins, mineral deficiencies, vitamin D status, and microbiome imbalances are all discussed as modern disruptors of hormonal communication. If you're interested in bioidentical hormone therapy, functional endocrinology, gut-driven inflammation, or precision longevity strategies, this episode delivers a research-informed, systems-based framework for sustainable health optimization.

What causes blackheads and clogged pores? Find out how to remove blackheads permanently with the #1 blackhead remedy that addresses the root cause of your skin issues. 0:00 Introduction: What causes blackheads?2:14 Most common blackhead cause 2:51 Vitamin A and blackheads 5:48 The best blackhead remedy Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07What causes blackheads? Every blackhead on your face is caused by a specific type of fat called palmitic acid, not bacteria and not dirt. Your body makes palmitic acid out of sugar, so when you consume too much, your body converts the excess into palmitic acid.Zinc deficiency is one of the most common blackhead causes. Vitamin A is also vital for blackhead removal because it controls oil production on the skin. Vitamin A does not work without zinc. To remove blackheads and keep them from returning, you must eliminate excess sugar from your diet. Follow a ketogenic diet, practice intermittent fasting, and consume nutrient-dense foods. Consume liver or shellfish for zinc, and cod liver oil to boost vitamin A.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

It is increasingly understood that our brain health is dependent on our having healthy nutrient levels. But how do nutrients actually impact our neurotransmitters.We might assume that certain nutrient levels would cause certain symptoms or conditions. Instead, what we find are biotypes - one condition is often associated with a small handful of imbalances. For example, the biotypes of depression from the Walsh Research Institute, included undermethylation, overmethylation, pyrrole disorder, copper overload and metal toxicity. And reversely, one nutrient imbalance can contribute to a range of brain symptoms. Copper overload, for example, can be a factor in ADHD for one person, but for another contribute to panic or insomnia and still another rage or tantrums. There are some conditions, however, that have a very strong associations with specific nutrient imbalances. In this newsletter, I will address:* 5 Ways Nutrients Impact Neurotransmitter Functioning* Psychiatric Conditions That Can Almost Predict a Specific Nutrient ImbalanceThe data comes from the Walsh Research Institute. Nutrient Imbalances Can Be Due to Too Much or Too LittleI use the term nutrient imbalances, because it's not just about deficiencies of certain nutrients. Specific nutrient overloads can impact brain health as well. This biochemical diversity means we don't all have the same needs when it comes to diet and supplementation. Some of us, for example, can benefit from folate, but for others with excess folate, supplementation could worsen depression and anxiety. Those with copper overload can similarly have worsening of symptoms with copper supplementation, while others will have a need for copper.What Causes Nutrient ImbalancesWhile it might seem that this is all about our intake of nutrients, we can come by these imbalances genetically. We can also acquire deficiencies and even overloads through high oxidative stress. This is when our body (including our brain) is dealing with too many insults, resulting in a depletion of our inherent antioxidants leaving us vulnerable to DNA and thus cell damage, inflammation and their consequences). Copper zinc imbalances and elevated pyrroles, which results in relatively low zinc and B6, are signs of oxidative stress. Often an imbalance appears to have multiple causes. For example a woman with high copper causing high anxiety, could have a family history of high copper conditions (post partum depression, ADHD, angry outbursts) and thus have a likely genetic vulnerability. She may also, be taking a multivitamin with copper, eating a lot of chocolate (high in copper) dealing with high oxidative stress and not the least, be on an oral contraceptive (added estrogen can make copper go up).5 Ways Nutrients Can Impact Neurotransmitter FunctioningNutrients often function as co-factors, helping certain enzymes do their job. Specific nutrients are needed: * For production of neurotransmitters. Vitamin B6, for example is needed to make serotonin, dopamine and GABA. B6 can be low in pyrrole disorder and thus contribute to a range of symptoms.* To convert one neurotransmitter to another. Copper is needed to turn dopamine into norepinephrine (think adrenaline). If we are high in copper, we could have relatively low dopamine and high adrenaline states, which is what is seen in ADHD.* To support enzymes involved in the breakdown of neurotransmitters. For example MAOA is an enzyme that needs Vitamin B2 to do its job breaking down serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. If these aren't broken down, there could be problems with activation and anxiety.* To help receptors do their job. Receptors are what neurotransmitters bind to, resulting in a impulse being sent down the nerve cell. Zinc and magnesium help regulate the NMDA receptor. If not well regulated, there can be high activity, which can look like thoughts getting stuck - ruminations, obsessions in OCD, cravings in addiction, and even delusions in psychosis.* Regulate the expression of genes for serotonin reuptake receptors. Folate causes an increase in the expression of these genes (and thus production of these receptors). This results in more serotonin being picked up and less available between nerve cells. This could be a problem for someone who already has low serotonin symptoms. SAMe, on the other hand, does the opposite and it can function like an SSRI.Why One Diagnosis Isn't Always Associated With One Imbalance* Psychiatric conditions appear to have various causes. If someone comes to me with a diagnosis of depression, for example, that only tells me what type of symptoms they likely have. It doesn't tell me if those symptoms are related to high copper, a methylation imbalance, elevated pyrroles, candida, a misaligned upper cervical spine , mast cell activation, mold toxicity, metal toxicity, hormone imbalances or a combination of any of these…….or something else.* More often multiple factors appear to be aligning. It is not uncommon, for example, to have candida or mold causing high pyrroles causing low zinc, leading to high copper, and as an aside also be undermethylated.* One “root cause” can contribute to a range of conditions and symptoms. Some people with high copper are diagnosed with depression or anxiety and others with ADHD. Some people who are undermethylated have OCD, others depression and still other schizophrenia. Very often, people will be have multiple diagnoses fitting with an imbalance. “Comorbidities” in psychiatry are the norm, rather than the exception.Despite all of this, there are certain nutrient imbalances that occur so commonly in certain psychiatric conditions that they can almost be predicted . Data From Walsh Research InstituteSimply knowing someone has a mental health condition makes it more likely that they will have a methylation imbalance - more often undermethylation.The Walsh Research Institute has looked at the methylation status of 30,000 over 40 year and found that 70% of those with mental illness exhibit a methylation imbalance (undermethylation and overmethylation). This is relative to the general population, in which 30% had a methylation imbalance.Other Data From the Walsh Research Institute:* History of Postpartum Depression - 95% have copper overload* ADHD - 68% have a copper zinc imbalance* Autism Spectrum Disorder - 98% undermethylation, 98% low zinc* Antisocial Personality Disorder - 95% undermethylation, 95% pyrrole disorder, 95% low zinc* Oppositional Defiant Disorder - 85% undermethylation* Schizoaffective Disorder - 90% undermethylation* Anorexia - 82% undermethylation* Schizophrenia - 70% undermethylation* Violent behavior - 78% high copperEvaluation & Labs Are Still ImportantNone of these are 100%. And, again, there is rarely one contributing factor, so a comprehensive evaluation and lab testing are still important. Even if I am fairly confident that someone is low in zinc, I don't recommend starting zinc without checking zinc and copper levels. Starting zinc too rapidly can mobilize high copper and worsen symptoms. If copper is low, zinc can cause a further decrease.Also, there are occasions when it can be difficult to address an imbalance, without addressing another contributing issue first. For example, I see some patients who are unable to tolerate treatment of undermethylation until they begin treatment for candida or mold.There is always so much more data to share, when it comes to the Walsh Research Institute. I look forward to discussing biotypes of depression, ADHD and schizophrenia in a future episode.As always, I welcome your comments and questions.Until next time,CourtneyTo learn more about my discovery calls, non-patient consultations, and treatment practice, visit:CourtneySnyderMD.comMedical Disclaimer:This newsletter is for educational purposes and not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment for either yourself or others, including but not limited to patients that you are treating (if you are a practitioner).

On this week's episode, Ali sits down with an icon and true pioneer in the infertility space: double board-certified REI and infertility warrior, Dr. Natalie Crawford. Natalie opens up about her own journey through four pregnancy losses before welcoming her two children—and what it's like to be on both sides of the stirrups as both doctor and patient. She shares the unique challenge of navigating infertility as someone who “knows too much,” and how that knowledge can be both empowering and overwhelming. They also talk about how Natalie has built a massive, trusted community by showing up authentically on social media, why she decided to break away and co-found her boutique clinic, Fora Fertility in Austin, Texas, and what it really took to start her own thing.Plus, Natalie shares insights from her new book, The Fertility Formula—including how to advocate for yourself in the exam room, what her patients taught her along the way, and what she wants every fertility patient to hear right now.For more, and to order The Fertility Formula, visit www.nataliecrawfordmd.comIG: @nataliecrawfordmdEPISODE SPONSORS: THE WORK OF ART BOOK SERIESAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe 3-book bundle is now just $49 (normally $79)!The latest book in the Work of ART series, “You Are a Work of ART," is for every kiddo born through ART -- and the people who love them.PHERDALIG: @pherdal_sciencePherDal is the world's first and only FDA-cleared, sterile, at-home insemination kit designed to help people build their families in the comfort of home.

Today I want to talk about what actually happens in your body over time when you're on a GLP-1 peptide for weight loss. Because the reality is, nothing about these peptides works like a switch you flip on. You don't wake up one day and suddenly "stop being hungry." What actually happens is slower, more layered. Almost like your body is quietly learning a new set of rules for how it handles food, energy, and reward.

And they don't cause a problem for our coral reefs. Zinc oxide is ok for most. For patients suffering from melasma, titanium oxide is another step up.  Calluses build in response to external pressure. Adjusting footwear and habits should come FIRST. A general "clean up" of calluses at the nail salon is not recommended. A gentle approach while keeping some protection from the cushioning callus is recommended if the inciting stimulus remains. Also, the cuticle (little skin fold attaching the skin to the nail where the lunula is (white crescent) is super important to seal the nail unit from bacteria crawling in.

Today we're tackling something that confuses so many people: why losing weight and keeping it off feels so hard. If you've ever felt like your body is working against you, like you're doing everything right but still dealing with hunger, cravings, or weight regain, this is going to make that make sense. We're going to walk through your body's set point, hunger hormones, metabolism, and something called TDEE, and really explain the how and why behind all of it.

Are "healthy" foods secretly harming your thyroid? If you're doing everything right—eating clean, meal-prepping, and loading up on greens—but still battling fatigue, brain fog, and stubborn weight, the answer might be hiding in plain sight. An estimated 20 million Americans have thyroid disease, and for many, the cause is a mystery. This episode pulls back the curtain on the great 'healthy' food lie. We'll explore: *   **The Cruciferous Crew:** How vegetables like kale, broccoli, and cauliflower contain compounds called goitrogens that can interfere with thyroid function, and the simple cooking trick that neutralizes the risk. *   **The Soy Story:** We dive into the science of how soy products (tofu, edamame, soy milk) can affect your Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and what it means for you, especially if your thyroid is already compromised or you're taking medication. *   **The Gluten Question:** Discover the compelling link between gluten and Hashimoto's, the #1 cause of hypothyroidism in the US. We'll explain the theory of "molecular mimicry" and what recent studies say about going gluten-free. *   **Thyroid-Supportive Eating:** Learn how to build a diet that actively supports your thyroid with essential nutrients like Iodine, Selenium, Zinc, and more.   This isn't about fear-mongering; it's about empowerment.

Your food can only be as nutrient dense as the soil it was grown in. That's the realization I had after testing the soil across our new property and discovering that despite being relatively fertile and rich in magnesium, it was far too acidic for plants to absorb those minerals properly. Soil pH is a gatekeeper: if it's off, the nutrients stay locked in the ground even when they're technically present. That sent me down a rabbit hole of soil depletion and food nutrient density, and the data is sobering. A 2004 University of Texas study compared USDA food composition data for 43 crops between 1950 and 1999 and found protein down 6%, calcium down 16%, iron down 15%, and vitamin C down 20%. A 2022 UK study showed iron down 50% and copper down 49% over 80 years. In this episode, I break down why this matters even if you're eating an animal-based diet; where the biggest mineral gaps are likely hiding; and what you can do about it right now. If you're thinking this is just a farming problem, consider that cattle, chickens, and pigs eat plants and forage. If they're consuming depleted feed, the resulting meat, eggs, and milk are also depleted. The nutrient density of your ribeye starts in the soil under the grass. Meanwhile, US cropland loses 4.63 tons of topsoil per acre per year, and a third of the corn belt has already lost its entire mineral-rich topsoil layer. It takes about a thousand years to generate one inch of new topsoil, and we're losing it ten times faster than it forms. The minerals you're most likely missing are magnesium (nearly half of Americans consume less than the estimated average requirement, and standard blood tests won't catch a deficiency because only 1% of body magnesium is in serum), zinc (critical for immune function and testosterone, and lost through sweat during training), and selenium (almost entirely dependent on regional soil content, with up to 34x variability in the same food depending on where it was grown). The long-term fix is regenerative farming, which studies consistently show produces two to three times the soil health scores and significantly higher vitamin and mineral content. The short-term fix is sourcing from farmers who care about soil quality, eating organ meats and oysters, and supplementing strategically to bridge gaps that even a well-constructed diet can't fully cover.

By popular request after years of interviewing several different women and getting their perspectives on how to create healthy babies, I decided to create a solo show dedicated to the topic. While I don't talk about iron at all in this show, and several other nutrients and supplements that can support a healthy pregnancy, I highlight vitamin K2 and melatonin. I also talk about vitamin E and why fears about pregnant women supplementing it are unfounded, how I view the four fat soluble vitamins, the benefits of zinc for fetal development, and briefly touch on magnesium and shilajit. If you want to learn the science of why iron deficiency (low serum ferritin) can permanently cause brain damage to your child (I believe i'm in this category), check out episode number 337. I've helped two families here in northern Idaho create several healthy babies by supplementing all of the Mitolife products. The conventional health system combined with influencers with various agendas (usually the whole food supplement types) have really mudied the waters and confused a lot of mothers. In this show I aim to break the spell that many are under regarding fear around various supplements, specifically exogenous supplemental melatonin while a woman is pregnant and the tremendous benefits that it provides.

Cheri Bergeron's path to motherhood is anything but simple—and that's exactly why her story is so powerful. Cheri is the author of Mission: Motherhood, and in this episode, she shares with Ali the full, unfiltered journey: from devastating pregnancy loss to IVF, to donor conception, and ultimately becoming a mom to her two children.But Cheri didn't just navigate the system—she challenged it. Cheri and Ali also talk about the lawsuit that helped reshape what family-building can look like for women everywhere, and why her experience has become a rallying cry for so many trying to build families outside the traditional mold. They also talk about foster parenting, late stage termination, navigating NICU life, how family building and infertility can really test a relationship and her nonprofit, Cheri's Choice.

What if picky eating and impulsive ADHD behavior aren't separate problems at all—but signals coming from the same biological root? In a special milestone for the podcast — our 200th episode of The Soaring Child Podcast — Dana Kay explains how nutrient deficiencies can directly affect the brain systems responsible for focus, emotional regulation, impulse control, and sleep. Iron supports dopamine production. Magnesium and B6 calm the nervous system. Zinc shapes taste perception. Omega-3s carry the brain's messages. And vitamin D helps regulate serotonin and sleep cycles. When these nutrients are depleted, the brain struggles to function properly. The result can look like impulsivity, hyperactivity, emotional outbursts, sleep struggles, and extreme picky eating. Dana shares the story of a young boy expelled from four preschools whose behavior transformed after severe nutrient deficiencies were identified and supported. This episode helps parents understand how what looks like "behavior" may actually be a biological signal. Dana walks listeners through the nutrients most commonly involved in ADHD regulation, the signs that the brain may be running on empty, and how parents can begin identifying which biological stressors may be affecting their child.

They're the same conversation happening in different rooms." "What if the brain isn't being difficult? What if it's just hungry?" "A brain that's running on empty cannot do manners, patience or waiting turns." "When the brain is starving, no amount of behavioral strategies will actually feed the brain." "These nutrients are literally the wiring for the brain." "You can parent beautifully, but if that fuel is not there, their system stalls." "You're asking a Ferrari to run on cordial." "A hungry brain cannot be polite." "Feed the brain and the behavior follows." DANA KAY RESOURCES

Today's episode is a special one — it's a replay of Ali's 2023 conversation with Dr. Lucky Sekhon. Lucky is a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, infertility specialist, and OB-GYN at RMA of New York. She's also one of the most trusted voices on social media and TV when it comes to fertility, IVF, and reproductive health, breaking down complicated topics with clarity, compassion, and actual science.In this conversation, Lucky opens up about her own family-building journey — including how, when it came time to start her family, she chose to create embryos and go through IVF herself. Ali and Lucky talk about what it's like when the fertility doctor becomes the fertility patient, how that perspective shapes the way she treats her own patients, and why she's so passionate about helping people understand their reproductive options.Since this interview originally aired, Lucky has also written a fantastic book called The Lucky Egg, which helps people better understand fertility, IVF, and reproductive health. So whether you're hearing this conversation for the first time or coming back to it, it's a really thoughtful look at fertility from both sides of the exam table.EPISODE SPONSORS: THE WORK OF ART BOOK SERIESAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe 3-book bundle is now just $49 (normally $79)!The latest book in the Work of ART series, “You Are a Work of ART," is for every kiddo born through ART -- and the people who love them.PHERDALIG: @pherdal_sciencePherDal is the world's first and only FDA-cleared, sterile, at-home insemination kit designed to help people build their families in the comfort of home.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Sheena: Hi Dr C! Hope you and your team are well. I'm 45 yo and currently on low dose birth control pill to help control the severe perimenopause symptoms I was experiencing. It has REALLY helped which I am thankful for. Obviously I know I cant be on it forever, but the thought of going off and going through all the symptoms is so scary to me. I also know being on the BCP will mask when I'm actually in menopause. Do you have a suggestion as to how I can find out? Is it possible to figure out while on the pill? As instructed by my endocrinologist, I take the pill for 42 day straight, stop for 4 and start again. Could I test my fsh during that 4      Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral - I'm hoping you can help me. I keep hearing people say organic doesn't really matter because they're still able to spray the produce with some level of herbicides. Can you help me understand what they could be talking about and confirm that organic is definitely better/ worth the cost? Thanks for all you do!      Sierra: Hello Dr. Cabral. My father and four of his kids have chronically low Alk Phos. We have tried supplementing (Zinc, mag, Vit C, DNS, Omegas, etc) for years without any improvement. We are leaning into thinking its a genetic issue (hypophosphotasia). My father has had significant blood calcification, bow legged, bad teeth. Do you have any knowledge on genetically low alk phos, and how to increase our levels or adjust nutrients to help offset issues from low levels of alkphos? We do live fairly healthy, active lives. We do qtrly detoxes, we work to empty our "rain barrel", but is there any other advice you can give us? We would love to figure out how to navigate this. Thank you! day break and be able to tell? Hope this makes sense. Looking forward to your suggestion. Thanks!      Adam: Hello, I've noticed during the winter months, I get more symptoms, especially thyroid related issues (dry skin, cold extremities). During the summer, these are substantially less pronounced. I've ran the Stress Mood and Metabolism test (during FEBruary), TSH 2.5, Free T3-3.8, Free T4-1.5, normal cortisol all day, low DHEAS, but are there any specific interventions I can do during the winter months to support my body? Warmer denser foods, different types of exercises, certain supplements etc? Thank you.        Desiree: Hi Dr. Cabral, My husband and I are planning to start trying for a baby this June. We are prepping starting now with 3 week detox, followed by heavy metal and parasite detoxes. I will follow that with 3 months of prenatal vitamins. Are there any male specific supplements that improve sperm health and male fertility? Like prenatal supplements but for men.

What happens when one of the most disciplined bodies in the world can't do the one thing everyone assumes it should? On this episode -- one of our most downloaded of all time -- Ali sits down with Mathilde Froustey, principal dancer at the San Francisco Ballet and widely considered one of the most extraordinary dancers in the world.Born in Bordeaux, France, Mathilde began dancing at just nine years old, training at the prestigious Marseille National School of Ballet and the Paris Opera Ballet School before rising to the top of the international ballet world. Onstage, her body is her instrument — powerful, precise, and seemingly unstoppable. But behind the curtain, Mathilde has been fighting battles that almost no one in the dance world talks about. In this candid and emotional conversation, she opens up for the first time about her experience with infertility — a subject she says remains deeply taboo in professional dance. Mathilde shares what it was like to go through IVF while performing at the highest level, navigating intense body scrutiny, and hearing painful comments about her appearance during one of the most vulnerable periods of her life. She also talks about her past struggle with an eating disorder, the pressure dancers face to maintain a certain body type, and the silent toll of trying to build a family inside a culture that rarely makes space for it.“In the dance world, infertility is a taboo subject,” Mathilde says.Not anymore.This is a powerful conversation about perfection, pressure, and what it means to reclaim your body — both onstage and off.EPISODE SPONSORS: THE WORK OF ART BOOK SERIESAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe 3-book bundle is now just $49 (normally $79)!The latest book in the Work of ART series, “You Are a Work of ART," is for every kiddo born through ART -- and the people who love them.PHERDALIG: @pherdal_sciencePherDal is the world's first and only FDA-cleared, sterile, at-home insemination kit designed to help people build their families in the comfort of home.

You've been lied to about age spots. Skin discoloration known as age spots isn't just “sun spots" and is not simply the result of getting older. In this video, I'll show you how to get rid of age spots naturally by addressing the root cause. Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine:  https://drbrg.co/45qtO070:00 Introduction: What causes age spots?0:37 Age spots on hands and face 1:15 Age spot causes 2:16 Oxidative stress and hyperpigmentation3:56 Selenium and dark spots on skin6:45 Copper and age spots7:54 Clear skin tips If you have age spots on your face and hands, you're often offered lasers or creams that don't work or make matters worse. Hyperpigmentation, or age spots, is caused by melanin, the naturally occurring pigment in your skin that protects you from ultraviolet light and free radical damage. Dark spots on the skin are actually a protective mechanism.Melanin spots are caused by uneven melanin production, which means there's a problem with the regulator in the melanocyte, the cell that produces melanin. This is often caused by oxidative stress. Glutathione regulates melanin and reduces oxidation. Without enough glutathione, you can't regulate melanin, which can lead to melanin spots. Low selenium can cause your glutathione levels to decline. Two Brazil nuts per day offer all the selenium you need. You can also get selenium from shellfish. High-quality animal protein is vital for glutathione production. The demand for glutathione increases in menopausal women. If you're dealing with chronic stress, you'll also need more glutathione. Copper is a trace mineral that helps your body make melanin. Too much or too little copper can cause issues with melanin production. Zinc can help regulate copper. After working to increase your glutathione levels, it can take 30 days to 6 weeks to see improvement in your hyperpigmentation. In the meantime, try a vitamin C serum to address dark spots on the skin topically. Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

It's Endometriosis Awareness Month. Ali's guest this week, Holly Abel, was eleven years old when her debilitating periods started. For decades, doctors told her it was “normal.” That she was dramatic. Hormonal. Sensitive. It wasn't normal. In early 2023, Holly was finally diagnosed with severe stage 4 endometriosis — affecting multiple organs throughout her body. Shortly after, she experienced a miscarriage. In December 2023, she underwent major surgery. Then in March 2024, after a routine HSG, everything began to unravel. By early May, she was in septic shock and given a 10% chance to live. In July, a total hysterectomy saved her life… and ended her ability to carry children. Holly talks about all of this and more in an educational, emotional episode about medical trauma, advocacy and survival.
