The Low Fodmap Diet is the most researched diet for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and is estimated to help alleviate symptoms in upwards of 40-70% of IBS patients.  Not many people know more about the low fodmap diet then our guest Kate Scarlata, MPH, RDN.

FODMAP is an acronym that defines foods that are composed of Fermentable Oligosaccharides (fructans and galacto oligosaccharides), Disaccharide (lactose), Monosaccharides (Fructose) AND Polyols (sugar alcohols). These carbohydrates are small chained carbohydrates that many people with IBS and related digestive disorders have a difficult time tolerating these carbohdrates and may develop symptoms of bloating, pain, constipation, or diarrhea, or a mixture of these symptoms.

We dive deeply into the Low Fodmap Diet and also into other advanced conditions that mimic IBS and must be considered if you are not responding to the Low Fodmap Diet. I have show notes on my blog at this link.  Now more about our guest.

Between 2.5% and 6.7% of Men and Women Suffer from a chronic bladder condition called Interstitial Cystitis. If they are suffering from this they experience some or all of these symptoms urinary frequency, urinary urgency, painful urination or burning during or after urination, sometimes when bladder fills having pain, nerve pain, urethral pain, lower abdominal pain and bloating, pelvic pain, vulvodynia, and pain during sex.  In this episode I welcome on an expert in Interstitial Cystitis and Urinary Tract Infections; Dr. Deanna Berman.

In this episode we cover: 

• Chronic Interstitial cystitis as a heterogeneous disorder.
• Chronic antibiotic use is connected to Interstitial Cystitis.
• Most Interstitial Cystitis cases will have no pathology on imaging (cystoscopy)
• The bladder microbiome is linked to the functionality
• A healthy bladder has protection (mucin layer) and a healthy bladder microbiome.
• Your bladder is a tank for detoxification so it needs to be hardy and also resilient to the environment.
• Chronic antibiotics use can embed an infection in the bladder!
• Chronic Infections and Exposures can imbed Mold toxicity, Lyme Disease
• Histamine-rich foods often are a trigger and must be explored.
• NextGen Sequencing such as the MicroGenDx test can look at the microbiome of the vaginal and bladder microbiome to navigate
• Biofilm formation in the bladder may be the root cause  of interstitial cystitis
• Dr. Berman addresses Chronic IC with a 5-part strategy.It is treatable.
• UTI testing are often inappropriately negative in patients who have an underpopulated urinary microbiome! This leads to a conclusion that IC is non-infectious.
• The wrong Probiotics strains are often given to the vaginal and urinary microbiome.

Episode 103: Conscious Eldering with Ron Pevny

These days, getting older seems to be more like a war rather than a rite of passage. "Take this pill or this potion to reverse aging and stay young," they say. But is that really how we should view aging? We question this and more in this episode, where I welcome Ron Pevny, the director of the Center for Conscious Eldering and author of Conscious Living, Conscious Aging: Capturing The Gifts of Elderhood.

• The concept emphasizes intentionality, personal growth, and community, offering retreats and workshops to prepare people for a fulfilled elderhood.
• Ron highlights the loss of meaningful roles for elders in industrialized societies and the importance of life review to let go of past baggage.
• Ron underscores the significance of having purpose in maintaining physical and mental health as one ages.

This was a heartwarming conversation and made me think deeply about my own desires for later life and those for my loved ones.

One of my favorite sayings in life is " As above , so below" . This can certainly apply to the skin disorders.  As we learn more about skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and acne we are seeing that that deeper in the body at the gut/immune interface there is likely a driver of inflammation. I speak about this on my most recent episode of my podcast with Lucy Mailing PhD. 

Lucy Mailing is an MD/PhD student at the University of Illinois. She recently completed her PhD in Nutritional Sciences but continues to perform research on how diet and exercise impact the gut microbiome in states of health and disease. She has authored several peer-reviewed journal articles related to the microbiome and health and was recently named an Emerging Leader in Nutritional Sciences by the American Society for Nutrition.

Lucy has also been as staff research associate for Kresser Institute for four years and writes about evidence-based gut health on her blog, www.NGmedicine.com. She currently plans to continue her training and begin her MD at the University of Illinois in 2020 after a year dedicated to her blog and the launch of a gut-related startup.

Autophagy is  a term that refers to cellular self-digestion.  We have heard the term self-attack-self in situations like autoimmunity; Well this a different type of process that is a normal every day process in the cell of cellular self-digestion. Technically autophagy is a catabolic metabolic program/process that is activated when intracellular nutrient uptake or availability is diminished.  It was coined in the 1960’s by the late Christian de Nuve. It has resurfaced quite predominately since  Yoshinori Ohsumi was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discoveries of mechanisms for autophagy – a study into how cells detoxify and repair themselves.  Autophagy has a number of pathways that are studied that are associated with it such as the Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (MTOR) and  Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2). This is relavant because we know inflammation causes disease and many protective pathways of inflammation are regulated by NRF2 . Likewise we know that protein aggregating in cells is one of the key findings in disease.  Autophagy is one of the pathways that clears up protein debris from harming cells.   So understanding inflammation and autophagy is kind of important.  Inflammation can knock down autophagy so these topics must be studied together. Our guest Dr. Jeffrey Novack understand these pathways quite well and most interesting to us is that he understands how nutrition and chemicals from plants can influence these pathways.   More about our guest. 

Dr. Jeff Novack earned his Ph.D. in pharmacology from the University of Washington School of Medicine (Department of Pharmacology) in signal transduction (lab of Dr. Joe Beavo). He did post-doctoral research in immunology and tyrosine kinase signaling at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (lab of Dr. John Cooper). He taught pharmacology, immunology, infectious disease, and pathology at the medical school level for 13 years. He most recently was a tenured faculty at Bellevue College, where he taught anatomy and physiology, microbiology, cell biology, and nutrition. Dr. Novack joined the faculty at PNWU in September of 2012 and has taught immunology, portions of pathology, and pharmacology. He has done research on the effects of PSK on immune function in mice and humans and is interested in the effect of natural products on the innate and adaptive immunity and on inflammation. He likes to hike (has climbed all of the volcanoes in Washington state), bike, fish, cook and do polar bear swims in the winter.

Current studies estimate that 2.7% to 6.5% of women in the United States have symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). The broad range in prevalence depends on whether a high-sensitivity definition (6.53%) is used versus a highly specific definition (2.7%)
And that is really an underestimate, because most people complaining of painful, urinary discomfort,  urgency, and frequent urination; in the absence of an infection are just brushed off by their health care provider and sent home with no solutions. Meanwhile they suffer, with constant urging to urinate and pain sometimes to the point that urinating feels like peeing chards of glass.  It is not something that is over in a few days. This is a chronic and intermittent condition  In previous episodes of the one thing podcast we spoke about IC and got a nice view of the microbial  and also biofilm component; however there was more to the story that I wanted to explore. So I reached out to Dr. Mandy LaGrega who is known as the IC healer.  I was intrigued by her work in this area especially when it comes to her knowledge of the Oxalate component of IC/PBS and her understanding of the gut, fungal, mycotoxin, and psychoemotional role of these disorders.  We had a great conversation on this episode about how IC/PBS develops, how oxalates play a role,  the risk factors for IC/PBS, and overall approaches to healing this disorder from a nutritional approach.  Enjoy!

In this episode of The One Thing Podcast, Dr. Adam Rinde and Dr. Paul Anderson discuss a powerful concept shaping chronic illness care: the Cell Danger Response (CDR).

If you or someone you know is dealing with persistent fatigue, inflammation, long COVID, or autoimmune challenges, this discussion offers deep insights into what may be happening at the cellular level—and why traditional approaches often fall short.

Dr. Anderson explains the phases of the CDR, how it affects mitochondrial function, and why some patients feel worse when they start treatment. They also explore supportive therapies, the importance of gentle intervention, and how to approach healing sustainably and individually.

Key topics:

• What is the Cell Danger Response?

• How CDR connects to chronic illness, PTSD, and autism

• Common treatment pitfalls and how to avoid them

• When to support vs. when to detox

• The future of mitochondrial medicine and personalized healing

Whether you're a practitioner or navigating your own health journey, this episode provides clarity, compassion, and actionable takeaways.

Androgen excess in women has been poorly understood from a diagnosis standpoint and treatment standpoint . Many women have been told they only fit a Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis if they fit a finely defined criteria and many are offered the same treatment regardless of their unique disfunction.  In this episode we discuss a new definition of androgen excess disorders and understanding subtypes of PCOS. Our expert Dr. Lara Briden, author of The Period Repair Manual will walk us through the following:

1. A need for a new definition of PCOS and androgen dominance. Hint : you don’t need cysts on your ovaries to be diagnosed.
2. Some of the root causes
3. Look alike conditions like hypothalamic amenorrhea , congenital adrenal hyperplasia , medication causes, cushing syndrome.
4. 4 functional subtypes of androgen dominance.
5. A functional approach to balancing androgen dominance. Your subtype matters!

Do the bugs in your gut influence whether you are anxious, depressed, clear-headed, or distracted?  Well, it turns out quite possibly. Future depression prescriptions may be custom probiotics rather then Prozac.  I invited Scott Anderson the author of the The Psychobiotic Revolution to speak with us today about this most interesting topic. We dive into this and the gut-brain axis, how diet influences the microbiota,  fecal transplants, measuring the microbiota,  anxiety, depression, and more.  

About our guest:

Scott is a scientist and a science writer who was drawn from the wine country in California to work with horses in Ohio. There, Scott set up a laboratory to help develop equine prebiotics. He found that a less diverse microbiota was associated with colonic ulcers and poor performance. That ultimately led him to John Cryan and Ted Dinan, two pioneers of the gut-brain axis who found that gut microbes can affect the behavior of mice. Scott ended up writing a book with Cryan and Dinan called The Psychobiotic Revolution, from National Geographic. It is now going into the second printing.

Chronic Joint Pain often leads to a diagnosis of degenerative joint disease (also known as osteoarthritis) and patients are given the array of physical therapy and anti-inflammatories with the hope of delaying and preventing joint replacement surgery.  This is a standard approach and joint replacement procedures often need to be redone 10-20 years late. . A multi-disciplinary approach to the same problem might look at diet, lifestyle ,exercise, nutrition, hormonal health, and other factors to prevent or delay surgery.   In this episode I welcome Dr. Angela Cortal who is an expert in Joint health and regenerative therapies and the author of Younger Joints Today. This episode covers: 1.  How hormone health matters in joint pain.  2. Nutritional and lifestyle influences 3. Regenerative therapies 4.  Dr. Cortal's  7 step plan for Joint pain . Short BIO: Dr. Angela Cortal is a Naturopathic Physician based in Oregon, and the best-selling author of Younger Joints Today. She is passionate about reversing degenerative joint disease by addressing the root causes. She loves partnering with her patients to optimize their health, happiness, strength, and well-being. In addition to her clinical practice, she teaches and speaks online on addressing your own joint pain, instructs physicians on advanced injection skills and lectures to professional audiences (on hormones, joint health, and injection therapies). In her spare time she tends to her rural property with her husband Xavi and their two rescue dogs.

Polyphenols fall under the category of phytonutrients.  Which are plant nutrients that confer health benefits.  Polyphenols specifically are food for our microbiota and are involved in housecleaning of potential pathogenic pathobionts.  We should really strive for about 1000mg-1500mg of polyphenols in our diet daily as the evidence is stacking up for their  health benefits for colon health, brain health, cardiovascular health, and overall inflammation support.  In this episode of WIALD (what I am learning daily) I go into the best sources and further unpack polyphenol benefits. The WIALD episodes are snack-size podcast recordings that complement the longer episodes that feature guests from various backgrounds. You are invited to come into my personal learning lab on WIALD.

Dr.   Kabran Chapek is on the cutting edge of early detection and early treatment of Dementia and Alzheimer's disease.  As a  clinician at the Amen Clinics in Bellevue, Washington he specializes in integrative approaches to neuropsychiatry . In this episode he talks about early warning signs of memory loss compared to attention issues.  In addition, he dives into the some key early markers of the potential of Alzheimer's Disease such as Apolipoprotein E4 and Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP). He talks about ways to address neuroinflammation to help slow progression of disease.  It was really great  speaking with this old colleague of mine who I  first met over  15 years or so ago when we were fellow student clinicians at Bastyr University.  Alzheimer's disease currently has no known cure.  Changes in the brain indicating dementia and Alzheimer's Disease potential can start as early as 20 years before the onset of the disease.  You don't want to miss this episode as it gives some really important information as to how to get ahead in detection and possibly prevention of dementia and Alzheimer's Disease.

What is driving Autoimmunity? Is it time to turn our beliefs about autoimmune conditions around and look at what is the underlying cause?  According many researchers, including our guest Dr. Amy Proal , a key driver of autoimmunity might be microbe based.  As researchers are finding out specific microbes that turn pathogenic called "pathobionts" may be leading to a chronic inflammatory process that goes unchecked.  In this episode we dive into pathobionts, intestinal permeability, the problem with standard immunosupressive therapy, biophages, and so much more. Get ready to learn as Dr. Proal is a force . Now more about Dr. Proal. Dr. Proal is a microbiologist who studies the molecular mechanisms by which bacterial, fungal and viral pathogens dysregulate human gene expression, immunity and metabolism. Her work further examines how dysbiosis of the human microbiome and/or the human virome can contribute to chronic inflammatory disease processes. As a member of the research team at Autoimmunity Research Foundation, she has authored papers and written book chapters for organizations like the J.Craig Venter Institute and The Autoimmunity Network, and lectured at the NIH and numerous USA/international conferences. Proal graduated from Georgetown University in 2005 with a degree in biology. In 2012, she obtained a PhD in microbiology from Murdoch University in Australia. Her graduate thesis focused on “Autoimmune disease re-examined in light of metagenomic concepts.” You can follow her on her website Microbeminded.com and also on twitter @microbminded2.   You can fund research she is doing on ALS, MS, Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome here. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-research-mecfs-ptlds-als-etc #autoimmunity #dysbiosis #pathobionts #microbes #intestinalpermability #molecularmimicry

Biofilm are communities of bacteria that form in many places in the body including the lumen of the gut where bacteria transition from a free forming and moving organism into joining a community of bacteria living in a unit called biofilm.

Biofilms are most acknowledged in dentistry as the purpose of flossing is largely to disrupt biofilm. Also, they are of grave concern in medicine as biofilms often form to the detriment of the host on implants, tubes, and catheters.

The significance of biofilm is generally around the concept that bacteria and other organisms (i.e. Yeast) in a biofilm generally evade the immune system and can resist antibiotics.

In this episodes we speak about how biofilm appears in the body, how it is tested,  what conditions are most effected by it, and what to do to treat it.

Links mentioned in episode:

Estrogen metabolism dysregulation may be linked to symptoms of bloating, constipation, menstrual problems, weight gain, low libido, and also conditions like pms, acne, endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and breast cancer.

The link could be explained by the Estrobolome. Which was first mentioned in 2011 by Plottel and Blaser in 2011. as “the aggregate of enteric bacterial genes whose products are capable of metabolizing estrogen." Simply put some bacteria in the gut may be causing increased estrogens to recirculate into our blood instead of being eliminated.  When this happens, it can be not so good for us. In this episode, I welcome Dr. Carrie Jones an international expert in Women's Health and Hormone health to help us unpack this topic.

In this episode we cover:

• What is the Estrobolome.
• Symptoms of estrobolome      dysfunction
• Phase 1 detoxification
• Phase 2 detoxification
• Phase 2.5 detoxification
• Phase 3 detoxification
• How is bile involved with      estrogen detoxification?
• What lab tests would identify      detoxification issues
• Beta-glucuronidase
• Other hormones affected by gut      health
• How      to correct imbalances.

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating condition with symptoms of persistent fatigue, neuroinflammation,  post-exertional fatigue, joint pain, nerve pain, muscle pain, sensory hypersensitivity, disturbed sleep, headaches, and bowel changes.

It often takes years to get a proper diagnosis and most patients are brushed off as having a psychosomatic illness.  '

Thanks to researchers like our guest Dr. Amy Proal; we know so much more ME/CFS. It turns out there chronic viral and other microbe components that drive a significant part of ME/CFS. These pathogens/pathobionts can set up shop and change DNA, mitochondria, and immune function that contributes to the manifestation of ME/CFS.

In this episode , Dr. Proal dives into how viruses find tissue to hide out in, disrupt mitochondria, alter the vagus nerve and how this understanding guides us how in treating ME/CFS

Dr. Proal shows us that it is not one infectious organism but multiple co-infections overwhelming the immune system pushing into low function.. If we can help the immune system by reducing the overwhelm ; then we can see good progress.

When people are anxious, they often get sweaty hands, increased chest pressure, shortness of breath, feel lightheaded, and they may feel tingling sensations in different parts of their body.

By paying attention and having awareness to these symptoms and , they can start to calm down a little bit and self-regulate.

Yet when stuck in this loop of anxiety , people often turn to learned coping behaviors or addictions to deal with these unwanted sensations.

Learning to deal with this pressure cooker , before it turns into dysfunctional behavior, is something that is the work my guest Eva Angert Harren.

And according the Eva, dealing with the pressure cooker does not require changing your thoughts or trying to control things. Actually its quite different; it's more about the being with the body/somatic experience and learning to release it.

In this episode we go into this and much more.

Eva talked about her unique work helping people with anxiety , ptsd, and also spectrum related disorders; connect with their body and create awareness. This allows for more comfort with sensations and less anxiety and dysregulation.

Eva and I share a common bond as bereaved parents. I was surprised that we jumped into this topic in our conversation. Yet it was relevant. We discussed her somatic experience with the loss of her daughter, Kristina, and I share my somatic response during some experiences with my first son, Jordan.

If you have difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, early morning awakening, restless or non-restorative sleep, it may be time start addressing this concern.

There are three types of insomnia. 1) Transient Insomnia: which lasts up to 1 week and is usually due to a short-term stressor 2) Short-term Insomnia: which lasts 1-6 months and is usually associated with a more persistent stressor (ie. death or illness of a loved one or environmental factor), and 3) Chronic Insomnia: which lasts more then 6 months and is associated with a wide variety of disorders.

Potential causes and risk factors for insomnia include transient concerns such as stress, illness, travel, environmental disruption. Or medical concerns, such as depression, anxiety, sleep apnea, orthopnea, circadian rhythm disorders, restless leg syndrome, chronic pain, and others.

In addition, insomnia can be caused by medications, drug, alcohol, or stimulant use.

In today's episode my colleague and previous guest Dr. John Neustadt an joins me to peak on Insomnia. We discuss deeply about nutrient, hormonal, lifestyle, and neurotransmitter aspects of what effects sleep.  Topics such as non-rem vs. rem sleep are covered. As well as cortisol, gaba, melatonin and ways that you can improve your sleep with nutrients and herbal medicine.

"Rest, drink fluids, and you will get over it"

That is what most people are being told when they have been diagnosed with Long Covid.

With many of these cases of Long-covid lasting months to years; that advice is not helpful or empowering.

Fortunately, there are more holistic approaches such as the ones discussed by my guest Dr. Carla Kuon; a medical doctor and author of

The LONG COVID Solution: A holistic, integrative approach to post viral recovery

This book looks at the underlying factors that need to be addressed in long covid such as gut health, mast cell activation, immune balance, and brain/stress balance. It is an actionable guide for those dealing with or caring for Long covid.

We discuss some of the pillars of the long covid in this discussion such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and immune imbalance.

I first met Dr. Kuon through the Cogence Immunology course that is taught by Dr. Samuel Yannuck

Her background in Oncology and Immunology; made her well-equipped to condense much that we have learned since 2020 in how to approach Long-Covid. Plus she has long worked with other post-viral conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

I think you will enjoy this discussion and gain some actionable insight.

More about Dr. Kuon:

Carla Kuon, MD is an an associate professor of medicine in the Department of Hospital Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, where she created and directs the adult inpatient bone marrow transplant massage service.

In this episode of the One Thing podcast, Dr. Peter discusses the profound impact of her father's experiences as a Holocaust survivor on her life and career as a trauma psychologist.

The conversation delves into the effects of generational trauma, the physiological and psychological responses to significant traumatic events, and the steps taken to aid survivors of the recent October 7th attacks in Israel. Dr. Peter highlights her work with the Israel Healing Initiative, emphasizing the importance of neurostimulation in trauma treatment and her ongoing efforts to provide support across affected communities, including Jewish, Palestinian, Bedouin, and Druze populations. The discussion includes poignant survivor stories and touches upon the broader implications of trauma within a global context. The conversation highlights, stories of heroism during October 7, the importance of social support, the difference between real trauma and perceived trauma, and the need for practical solutions to promote post-traumatic growth. The episode provides invaluable knowledge on trauma response, the use of vagal nerve stimulation, neurostimulation, and ways to support continued efforts in mitigating trauma's impact on both Israeli and Palestinian communities.

Here are some of the topics we cover:

• Father's Journey and Influence
• 9/11 and Global Reactions
• Understanding Trauma and PTSD
• October 7th Events and Initial Reactions
• Personal Stories of Survival
• Neurostimulation and Trauma Treatment
• Scaling Up Nonprofit Efforts

- The 5 big psychiatric epidemics are: Depression, Pain, Anxiety, Addiction, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). And, depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide. - 

Traditional models are Psychotropic medications and/or counseling. While widely successful this model may fail in certain populations.  t

Treatment failures might be due to not accessing certain neural networks and possibly psychospiritual levels that might be needed for healing. 

 Because of this Psychedelic Medicine and Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy has emerged. 

This traditional medicine now has the science and trials to help understand how to apply in a clinical setting 

In this episode , I am joined by Dr. Erica Zelfand who will guide us through  Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.  She is a perfect guide as she is the instructor of the course called The Science of Psychedelics

 Dr. Zelfand gives us some information and highlights on  MDMA, Psilocybin, and Ketamine.

We learn about which psychedelics impact Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor, (BDNF), the Default Mode Network (DMN) which involves the medial prefrontal cortex, posterior cingulate cortex/precuneus and angular gyrus. Also those that act on 5HT-2A receptors, and NMDA-receptors. 

 The effect of these therapies appear to allow the brain to change, access new resources, become more neuroplastic, and gain psycho spiritual insight. Before long psychedelics, will soon be a legalized part of mainstream psychiatry. 

About Dr. Zelfand

 Erica Zelfand, ND is a licensed family physician specializing in functional medicine and integrative mental health. Blending conventional pharmaceutical medicine with nutrition, herbal medicine, counseling, psycho-spiritual work, and other therapies gleaned from her international travels, Dr. Z’s philosophy of healing aims to nourish the whole person.

Receiving diagnosis like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), often comes with a stigma.

Some believe IBS is a diagnosis a doctor uses to describe digestive symptoms when no serious pathology has been found.

Thankfully we are moving a way from this definition. 

And now we recognize that conditions like IBS involved scientifically proven imbalances in both the gut and brain and must bet treated as such.

The progress made can largely be attributed to the work of The Rome Foundation and the guests of this episode Dr. Douglas Drossman and Johannah Ruddy, M.Ed.

Dr. Drossman and Johannah are the authors of the new book, Gut Feelings, Disorders of The Gut-Brain Interaction and are pioneering the efforts for patients and doctors to unite to have better approaches to treatment and care of these digestive disorders.

Disorders like IBS have now become part of a larger group of digestive disorders now called Disorders of Gut Brain Interactions.”.

In this episode we discuss:

● From a “diagnosis of exclusion” to where we are today.

● How the Gut and Brain Interact. What science tells us.

● Doctor-Patient teamwork

● Modalities of treatment for Brain-Gut Interactions

Updates

In this short insight, I cover a common decision that patients and clinicians need to make when using naturopathic, functional and, integrative medicine.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) effects 1 out of 10 women and is one of the most common causes of infertility. PCOS at its core is a metabolic and reproductive hormone problem. Anyone who has dealt with it can tell you that it feels like the metabolism has a mind of its own and common approaches to helping bring hormone balance or blood sugar balance often aren't enough. I brought in Dr. Shannon Hirst a Naturopathic Physician who specializes in women’s hormone health to discuss PCOS. Dr. Hirst is licensed Naturopathic Physician in Woodinville, Washington and received a Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine and Family Medicine Residency from Bastyr University in Kenmore , Washington. She also holds a bachelors in science in Cellular and Molecular Biology from Western Washington University. You can find her at www.drshannonhirst.com and on twitter @drhirst. In this episode we discuss the underlying hormone and metabolic imbalance in PCOS and what’s important to know. Also, we go the issues that people with PCOS face. With many people silently struggling with this condition; I am appreciative of the integrative and holistic approach Dr. Hirst takes. Our podcast focuses on the integrative health arena with a special emphasis on gut, metabolism, inflammation, and emotional health; this episode approaches and discusses many of these areas. Enjoy and share with friends, loved ones, and colleagues.

This is is an episode of my series called "WIALD" .  Which is an acronym for "What I am learning daily."  Enjoy my dive into some research and welcome to the world of my personal learning lab.  Here something I learned about  IBS for Melatonin. Some data on Melatonin as an ant-inflammatory and possibly a mast cell stabilizer.  https://www.hindawi.com/journals/ije/2017/1835195/ Original research referenced in episode https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1774717/

Welcome episode to 102! featuring Geoff Lecovin, a naturopathic doctor, chiropractor, acupuncturist, and expert in breathwork.

Dr. Lecovin provides an in-depth explanation of breathwork, its history, physiological effects, and benefits. He discusses how breathwork can induce altered states of consciousness and access the body's innate healing abilities by manipulating chemicals like anandamide, dopamine, and serotonin.

Dr. Lecovin explains the science behind breathwork, including how overbreathing and breath holds increase carbon dioxide levels, triggering hormetic effects and stem cell release. He describes the concept of transient hypofrontality, where breathwork decreases blood flow to the brain's default mode network, quieting the ego.

The episode covers contraindications and precautions for breathwork, as well as the importance of working with a guide. Lecovin outlines a typical breathwork session, incorporating various breathing patterns, music, meditation, and integration practices. He emphasizes breathworks' potential for emotional healing, neuroplasticity, manifestation, and tapping into one's "inner healer."

Dr. Lecovin shares how he incorporates breathwork into his clinical practice and offers a simple 4-7-8 breathing exercise for listeners to try at home.

Overall, the episode provides a comprehensive overview of breathwork's theory, practice, and therapeutic applications.

Nutritional therapy plays a significant role in managing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but it is often overlooked in traditional medical care.

Exclusive enteral nutrition is effective in inducing remission, while therapeutic diets like the IBD-Anti-Inflammatory Diet and the Specific Carbohydrate Diet have shown positive results.

Monitoring nutrient deficiencies and biometric measurements like grip strength are essential for optimal management of IBD.

To help develop a framework for this topic I welcomed on the Kim Beall, Pharm.D., who is the Cofounder and Managing Director of Nutritional Therapy for IBD, http://www.nutritionaltherapyforibd.org a non-profit dedicated to establishing evidence-based nutritional therapy as a foundational part of IBD care to improve the well-being and health outcomes of those living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Kim and I met related to a mutual colleague the late Trina Seligman, ND who had a courageous life long battle with Crohns/Colitis . We share a strong bond with Trina.

Here are some of the timestamps of the conversations. 00:00 - 🎙️ Introduction to the One Thing Podcast and the guest, Kim Beall, Pharm.D, who is a pharmacist and the co-founder of Nutritional Therapy for IBD, a nonprofit dedicated to incorporating evidence-based nutrition into IBD care. 02:45 - 💔 Discussion about the passing of Dr. Trina Seligman, a mentor and advocate for IBD patients, and her impact on the IBD community. 05:23 - 🏥 The importance of nutrition in managing IBD and the role of exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) in inducing remission and mucosal healing. 08:32 - 💡 Dr. Beall's personal journey with IBD and her son's diagnosis with Crohn's disease, which led her to advocate for nutrition as a foundational part of IBD care. 12:15 - 🤝 The need for earlier intervention and education on nutrition for IBD patients and the importance of collaboration between patients and healthcare providers. 16:10 - 🤔 The confusion surrounding dietary recommendations for IBD and the lack of official guidelines, leading to the need for ongoing research and evidence-based approaches. 19:05 - ⚖️ The importance of avoiding blame and shame when discussing the role of diet in IBD and the complexity of factors contributing to the development of the disease. 21:20 - 📊 The significance of biometric evaluations, such as grip strength and body mass, in assessing nutritional status and overall health in IBD patients. 24:20 - 🌱 The current evidence for routine nutrient monitoring in IBD patients, including the importance of micronutrients like zinc, magnesium, and vitamins. 27:10 - 🍽️ The different dietary strategies and therapeutic diets for IBD, including exclusive enteral nutrition, the anti-inflammatory diet, autoimmune protocol, and specific carbohydrate diet. 32:00 - 🔍 Ongoing research on the microbiome and its potential role in IBD management, along with the need for personalized nutrition approaches based on an individual's microbiome and metabolic profile. 35:05 - 💪 The potential benefits of partial enteral nutrition and its underutilization in IBD care, including its role in maintaining remission and reducing surgical recurrence. 38:40 - 🌟 The importance of raising awareness about the efficacy of nutritional therapy in IBD and advocating for insurance coverage of nutrition-related treatments.

According to the CDC, Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), also known as “Long COVID,” are long-term symptoms that might be experienced weeks to months after primary infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.  Post-viral syndromes have been around for ages but nothing to the scale we are seeing now. 

The symptoms of PASC are extensive with over 200 symptoms reported ranging from general systematic fatigue , sensorimotor, neurologic , digestive, and cardiovascular.

Like any new  problem it helps to have a framework to think through problems and its especially helpful if other models are are available from other conditions that have been treated. We desperately need a framework to help with Long-Covid.

Our Guest, Dr. Amy Proal,   as been looking at post-viral syndromes for many years especially in her work with Myalgic Encephalitis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Dr. Amy Proal, Phd is Microbiologist with expertise on the molecular mechanisms by which pathogens modulate human gene expression, metabolism and immunity.

She recently used this knowledge and experience to author a highly cited paper with her co-researcher Dr. Michael VanElzakker called Long COVID or Post-acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC): An Overview of Biological Factors That May Contribute to Persistent Symptoms

This outstanding paper gives a framework to think through the Long Covid puzzle and start treating it.  In this episode we dive into all aspects of the Biological Factors of Long Covid PASC and discuss how this research will give us a roadmap to help people feel better.

Heart Rate Variability (HRV)  is a key metric in the overall homeostatic balance of the body.
HRV is simply a measure of the variation in time between each heartbeat. This variation is controlled by a primitive part of the nervous system called the autonomic nervous system (ANS).  It is largely an indicator of how well the body is handling the Allostatic Load (stress load).

I didn't truly grasp HRV until I was exposed to the work of Dr. Marco Altini; so I decided to ask him to come on and help educate my listeners.

In this episode we talk about:

• Overview of Heart Rate Variability (HRV
• The Autonomic Nervous Systems as an informant of health and homeostasis.
• Daily HRV fluctuation vs. Baseline changes over time. Factors, value of data, and implications
• Different tools to measure HRV
• Can HRV fluctuations predict chronic or acute flareups (ie  Autoimmune Disease Flare?)
• The impact of  breathing practices  and lifestyle changes on HRV?

About Dr. Altini

Marco holds a PhD cum laude in applied machine learning, a M.Sc. cum laude in computer science engineering, and a M.Sc. cum laude in human movement sciences and high-performance coaching. He has published more than 50 papers and patents at the intersection between physiology, health, technology and human performance. He is the co-founder of HRV4Training, advisor at Oura, guest lecturer at VU Amsterdam, and editor of the Wearables department of IEEE Pervasive Computing. He loves running.

Cognitive decline is one of the most concerning aspects of aging and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the US.  As of 2014 the CDC stated that of those older than 65 years of age, there was an estimated 5.0 million people suffering with dementia. This number is projected to be nearly 14 million by 2060.There are laundry lists of ideas to prevent cognitive decline, however, few really address the root cause.  My guest today Dr. Dayan Goodenowe a neuroscientist and inventor with Prodrome Sciences. I was introduced to Dr. Goodenowe by a mutual colleague and he really struck a chord with me when he told me about plasmalogens. As we discussed dementia and its root causes, he shared how these unique chemicals of the membrane of our brain called plasmalogens can become deficient and that they may be one of the key links to understanding neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. In todays episodes we discuss plasmalogens, what they are, how they are made, how they help with our heart, brain, immune system, and nervous tissue, and how they can be measured and potentially restored.

We also explore

· How Plasmalogens help people with high risk for Alzheimer's Disease who have the APOe4 gene

· How Plasmalogens inter-relate with other aspects of Dementia such as Amyloid Beta

· Specific plasmalogens that might help with multiple sclerosis and autism

About our guest:

Dr. Goodenowe’s research into the biochemical mechanisms of disease started in 1990. His curiosity about the biochemistry of life is as insatiable today as it was 30 years ago. In those 30 years, Dr. Goodenowe invented and developed advanced diagnostic and bioinformatic technologies, designed and manufactured novel and natural biochemical precursors, and identified biochemical prodromes of numerous diseases including Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke, autism, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple system atrophy, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and cancers of the colon, pancreas, ovary, breast, lung, kidney, esophagus, liver, stomach, and endometria. At Prodrome Sciences, Dr. Goodenowe is going beyond the diagnosis of disease and has set his sights on figuring out how long the human body can maintain the physical and biological functions of life.

If weight loss were as easy as calories in vs. calories out then, it wouldn't even be something we talk about. It turns out the brain regulatory pathways are a core reason why weight loss is so difficult. 

Sitting in the brain is a key regulatory region called the Hypothalamus. About the size of an almond, is located below the thalamus and above your pituitary gland., the hypothalamus is involved with many endocrine functions; including fat loss or fat gain.  If we were understand the function of the hypothalamus in fat gain and loss, we can better understand how to direct approaches to obesity and weight loss resistance.

There is no better person to help us understand this then Stephan Guyenet ,PhD the author of  The Hungry Brain: Outsmarting The Instincts That Make Us Overeat.

Dr. Guyenet is a Neuroscientist and obesity researcher who has become a leader in understanding the brains role in obesity.  He also is the founder of Red Pen Reviews a website that distills and grades health related books based on number of factors.

Listen in as we take the journey into the world of obesity including starvation responses, leptin resistance, hypothalamic inflammation, high fat diets, and the promise of glp-1 agonists.

If you are alive, it is safe to say you know someone diagnosed with a mental health disorder.  You also likely know how important it is to receive an accurate diagnosis and limit the stigma attached to a mental health diagnosis.  In this episode Dr. Teray Garchitorena Kunishi an experienced expert in mental health and a Naturopathic Physician in San Francisco speaks about mental health and the concept of neurodiversity ; where mental health issues are seen as a variant of what is considered as a norm rather than as as firmly abnormal.  This has become a particularly important concept in Autism Spectrum Disorders,  Bipolar Disease, and Schizophrenia.  It is not without controversy and we look at both aspects of neurodiversity approaches in this episode.  We also speak about societies where conditions like Schizophrenia are treated like a gift and people who deal with this gift are supported and nurtured rather then ostracized.   This is a very deep and meaningful episode and one that I am sure will be thought provoking. Please follow Dr. Teray on her website where you also find her course on the Art, Science, and practice of Happiness. It was an honor to interview Dr. Teray and I hope you enjoy  the episode as much as I did. Subscribe to our episode in your favorite podcast player including itunes and stitcher

In this episode we learn about happiness from an inner mammal perspective. Including questions like;  how do we generate  dopamine, serotonin, oxytoxin, and cortisol? and how do we work with our mammalian brain (the limbic system) and balance it with our developing/intellectual brain (the cortex)? It is quite fascinating to learn that we can be happier if we don't entirely squash the part of our brain that is hardwired for survival moves .  I invite esteemed author Loretta Breuning, PhD on this episode to take us through her teachings on this subject.  I first learned about Dr. Breuning after I experienced a tragic loss in my life and my friend and colleague and previous podcast guest,  Dr. John Neustadt, told me to check out one of her books; Habits of a Happy Brain and after reading it  I was enriched with additional tools to navigate my loss.   More about Dr. Breuning....

Dr. Loretta Breuning is Founder of the Inner Mammal Institute and author of Habits of a Happy Brain: Retrain your brain to boost your serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin and endorphin levels. As Professor of Management at California State University, and as a mom, she was disappointed by prevailing views of human motivation. She searched for better answers and found studies of the brain chemistry we share with earlier mammals. Suddenly, everything made sense! She began creating resources to help people manage their inner mammal. The Inner Mammal Institute offers videos, books, podcasts, multimedia, and a training program, to help you make peace with your inner mammal. InnerMammalInstitute.org Her latest book is Tame Your Anxiety: Rewiring Your Brain for Happiness.

We can't say enough good things about Ben.  His success in founding Lake Washington Physical Therapy in the Seattle area is story in its own. In this episode we discuss Ben's expertise. Ben's professional passion is with core stability, biomechanics, and runners. He sees many running enthusiasts that are working towards an easy 5K fun run as well as those that are training for New York or Boston. He has put on several speed and agility camps and participated in the training of college as well as professional runners. Ben speaks routinely at several of the local running stores (Super Jock and Jill and Everyday Athlete) and high school cross country teams. Ben has also authored two books for IAAF and created over 15 lectures that were presented at USATF, IAAF, WADA, and USOC conferences.   In this episode we go into benefits of running, training modalities, kinetic chain issues, how to train, foot wear, and much more!

Slowing aging , preserving memory, and preserving energy are big topics of concern in medicine and health care. Over the past 10 years research and development has show a special interest in how to modify Sirtuin-1 as a protein for longevity and slowing the disease process.  A cofactor of Sirtuin-1 named Nicotinamide Adenine dinucleotide  (NAD) is of particular interest.    NAD seems to be depleted as we age and thus turning down Sirtuin-1 activity.  This means accelerated aging.   The study of how to modify NAD is blossoming much thanks to the work of David Sinclair, Phd. And, supplements, dietary modifications , and lifestyle moves are being studies and marketed to modify this pathway. I have been hesitant to jump into this world due the hype; so I brought back an expert in this space Dr. Chris Meletis to help translate the science for practical application. We discuss the different forms of NAD precursors such as Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) and Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) as well discuss things like fasting, ketogenic diets, and exercise.  

About Dr. Meletis:

Dr. Chris D. Meletis is an educator, international author and lecturer. His personal mission is “Changing World’s Health One Person at a Time.” He believes that when people become educated about their body, that is the moment when change begins. He has authored over a dozen books and in excess of 200 national scientific articles in such journals and magazines as Natural Health, Alternative and Complementary Therapies, Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, Life Extension, Natural Pharmacy and the Journal of Restorative Medicine

Dr. Meletis served as Dean of Naturopathic Medicine and Chief Medical Officer for 7 years at NUNM, the oldest naturopathic medical school in North America. He has received numerous awards including, Physician of the Year by the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians; Excellence Award for his  work in treating and advocating for the medically underserved; and most recently a NUNM Hall of Fall award at the State Association’s annual banquet.

His passion for helping the underprivileged drove him to spearhead the creation of 16 free natural medicine healthcare clinics in the Portland metropolitan area of Oregon.

He is a medical consultant for Tru Niagen among other companies and is considered an expert in mitochondrial health and organic acid testing.

This is part 2 of a 2-part episode on medical cannabis and the endocannabinoid system with cannabis expert Dr. Nick Jikomes. In this episode we speak about the role of cannabinoids in gastrointestinal mucosal defense and inflammation. The cannabinoids from cannabis have been used in Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn's Disease, and Irritable Bowel syndrome to help with issues related to digestion, appetite, pain, anxiety, inflammation. and altered bowel function. In this episode we talk about how taking cannabinoids may help decrease GI inflammation and possibly improve the important gut neurotransmitter serotonin.  We talk about the nuts and bolts of selecting an appropriate strain for medicinal needs. If you listened to episode 1  you will appreciate some of the practical applications of this episode.

In this episode I welcome on one of my longtime colleagues Jake Felice, ND, LMP. Dr. Felicie is one of the OG’s of medicinal cannabis. In this episode we go into the Endocannabinoid system (ECS), A 600-million-year-old system that is a “harm-reduction” system as Dr. Felice likes to call it in this article https://ndnr.com/pain-medicine/the-endocannabinoid-system-self-regulating-harm-protection/“ As a stress reduction system, the ECS responds positively not only to cannabinoids, but also to diet, lifestyle, and physical medicine interventions .” We also discuss include terpenes and flavonoids, as well as other non-cannabis botanicals that also affect this receptor system. We talk about Cannabidiol (CBD), Tetrahydrocannabinol(THC) and how they act on the ECS for medicinal benefits. Specifically we go into  known safety profile, how to maximize patient tolerability, how to achieve efficacy, cannabis topicals, other delivery modalities, and relative contraindications. In addition, we discuss the “Entourage effect”.  This topic is so much more than you think!

Mitochondria lie at the center of life. At conception, we inherit our mother's mitochondrial DNA and our electricity for life is turned on. The mitochondrial journey is much like our life's journey. In fact, as we age the mitochondrial volume and output may start to decline and we then start to experience the effects of aging. In this episode, Dr. Chris Meletis, author of the book, MitoLongevity,speaks with us deeply about the role of mitochondria in health. We discuss the mitochondrial role in the immune system, inflammation, hormonal health, and mental health. We discuss evaluation for mitochondrial decline, nutrition and lifestyle factors, and so much more. enjoy... Show outline 1. Philosophy about Mitochondria 2.

 What is the best diet? This question remains the million (probably billion) dollar question in health, nutrition and medicine. The winner will likely be the healthy diet is one that prevents the most disease and weight gain. Now there seems to be an approach that has caught the attention of patients and providers internationally and that looking at individualized post-meal glucose response as a guide to one’s individualized diet. And guess what? The researchers say that the post meal glucose response is largely dependent as to what kinds of bugs are growing in our gut. Listen in on today’s episode as we explore the individualized diet and post meal glucose response.

Some back ground information.

Post meal glucose response is defined classically as the rises in blood glucose measured in ng/dl. Why does it matter? As a biomarker it predicts one’s ability to regulate glucose. Glucose regulated means less inflammation in the body, less risk for heart disease, less risk for diabetes, less risk for kidney disease, less risk for eye disease, and less risk for obesity…you get the picture.

Typically in a non-diabetic a fasting blood glucose will range from 70 ng/dl to 99 ng/dl and after eating a carbohydrate containing meal the blood glucose will rise between 100 ng/dl-140ng/dl. This can be influenced by protein and fat content in the food source however it is largely driven by carbohydrate intake. Until researchers started looking to the gut microbiome, the large dietary agencies that be would look at glucose content of foods and make predictions as to how these foods would spike blood sugar. This list is called the glycemic index of foods. Then later they looked at how combinations of foods might spike one’s glucose and this is called glycemic load. Now a group out of the Weizmann Institute developed a test and algorithm of post meal glucose response based on DNA sequencing of the bugs that are growing in human guts. By monitoring glucose response in human subjects, they were able to predict that one’s own signature gut microbiome, can largely influence ones glucose response to food.

In this episode of What I am Learning Daily (WIALD);  I share my learning form  research of Dr. Eric Martens from The University Of Michigan.

I explore what happens in rodents when they are held back from Fiber. What happens to the colonic inflammation in mouse models with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

If you want to watch the video of the episode with graphics go to my youtube video here 

The brain and gut are intrinsically linked . The nervous system has been explored as being the link specifically the via the vagus nerve. Yet, more information is being revealed about how neurotransmitters and stress hormones may interface with the gut microbiome and effect gut function such as intestinal barrier function.

In this episode I review a presentation I attended called Gates of Wrath: Role of intestinal epithelial cells in Stress response by Dr. Jacob Allen as part of the May, 2020 Microbiome Summit.

We dig into the research he is doing about how stress effects the microbiome and how it effects the intestinal lining ultimately.  Fascinating how the brain and gut interface to act favorably or unfavorably.

A game changing moment in my career happened when I learned that mind/body therapies  in Irritable Bowel Syndrome have a number needed to treat (NNT) of 4.  Meaning 1 out of 4 people, experience statistically significant  benefit when using mind body therapies to address their IBS. 

 1 out of 4 might not sound much to you but realize that even the best drugs earn a Number Needed To Treat of about 13.

Plus mind/body therapies are often empowering, have no side-effects, and are very affordable. 

So I started learning more about Gut-directed clinical hypnotherapy and then encouraged my patients to get on board.  

Many patients continue to benefit. 

In this episode, I reached out to an expert in the field of Gut-directed hypnotherapy , Linda Stelluti , CHt to help demystify hypnotherapy .

You'll learn that it is not some circus act and it taps into the deep underlying blocks to healing and the subconscious mind . It helps heals limiting thought patterns, anxiety, and stress patterns that perpetuate chronic illness. 

 We had a delightful conversation about what its like to have hypnotherapy performed, how it helps the brain/gut axis, and much more. 

Enjoy and please make sure to see Linda's programs she is running for Gut-Directed hypnotherapy. See below.

There is an obsession in this world with weight loss.

The search term “weight loss” outpaces the search term “fat loss” by leaps and bounds.

In fact, on May 3, 2020, “weight loss” reached the most popular search term status on google in The United States. Reaching a popularity score of 100/100. On the same day the term “fat loss” only had a popularity score of 4 out of 100.

It may seem trivial and semantic to some; but to me that says a lot about the mentality and understanding of metabolism, body composition, and largely why the dieting culture frequently fails.

On the subject of metabolism, fat percentage and fat quality are what matters in the grand scheme of health, fitness, and longevity. Not weight.   However, most “diets” are designed to set you on the path of reaching a specific weight that somehow reflects health.  These weight focused diets often overlook the impact of their weight loss program on your emotions, muscle mass, bone health, brain health, and hormone health.

The topic of weight and fat can be very triggering to discuss. Especially for those of us who have had ongoing struggles with metabolism and have reached a point of frustration and even mental health concerns around weight.

When approaching this topic, I could think of no one better to bring on Alex Leaf, MS, CISSN one of the up and coming stars in Nutrition Research and one of the pioneers of the Fat Loss Blueprint.  After learning about his approach on this topic, I felt that it was one of the most responsible and integrative approaches to fat loss I have come across.

In this episode we speak about:

1. Fat loss factors such as ghrelin, orexin, AMPK, protein muscle synthesis, cortisol, and satiety

2. Resistance training and its effect on metabolism

3. Discuss the impact of sleep and circadian rhythm disruption

4. His take on macronutrients such as protein

5. His take on calories

And much more.

One of the things about Alex is that he is not hype. He’s grounded, full of science, and his approach to fat loss is very thoughtful and careful.

About Alex Leaf, MS, CISSN

Alex is a nutritionist, researcher, writer, and scholar. He is a graduate of  Bastyr University’s  master’s didactic program in dietetics . He received his undergraduate degree from Washington State University.  He has worked with Examine.com and has performed research on overfeeding with the esteemed Dr. Jose Antonio through ISSN.  He is also on faculty at the University of Western States in their  Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine master’s program.  Along with his wife, Briana Theroux, and Ari Whitten he has recently developed a comprehensive online program in fat loss called The Fat Loss Blueprint. He is an advocate of a non-dogmatic and evidence-informed approach to nutrition.

Episode 100 of the One Thing Podcast with Dr. Adam Rinde did not disappoint First, some goodies to mention. To order the Jona test we talk about this episode... go to https://jona.health and enter ONETHING100 to receive $100 off the test In this episode I welcome on the CEO of Jona, Leo Grady, PhD and the Director of Business Development and GTM strategy , Jaclyn Kawwas. We are discussing a revolutionary stool microbiome test called Jona that uses AI to analyze gut microbiome data and connect it to health outcomes:

Jona, developed an AI system to analyze microbiome data obtained through shotgun metagenomic sequencing.

The AI system is able to: 1. Read and interpret existing research on the microbiome 2. Match patterns in an individual's microbiome data to relevant studies. 3. Generate personalized recommendations for dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, and supplements based on an individual's health goals The gut microbiome is highly individualized and influenced by various factors: We highlight how the gut microbiome is highly personalized, with limited overlap between individuals. Factors contributing to microbiome variability include: Diet: Processed foods, artificial sweeteners, emulsifiers, preservatives, fiber intake Lifestyle: Exercise, travel, pet ownership Medications: Antibiotics, chemotherapy, opioids Infections: Salmonella poisoning, C. difficile infection, long COVID, PANDAS/PANS

Some highlights to our discussion:

• We discuss hwo stool testing technology has evolved
• We discuss metabolomics and how it provides additional insight into gut health:
• We discuss how the field of microbiome research is rapidly evolving:
• We discuss personalized recommendations that Jona makes.

In this Episode I welcome on Sami Inkinen CEO of Virta Health to discuss Virta Health's approach to Type 2 Diabetes reversal'

Virta Health utilizes a continuous remote care intervention (CCI) that incorporates individualized carbohydrate restriction, health coaching, and telemedicine to manage and reverse Type 2 Diabetes

We cover topics such as:

Impact of individualized carbohydrate restriction:

The role of the patient-provider relationship:

Addressing quality of food

The Virta change model:

GLP-1 Receptor agonists as a bridge:

Sustainable solutions require addressing nutrition:

Research Findings of Virta's approach.

Long-Term Effects of CCI: A 2-year non-randomized clinical trial published in Frontiers in Endocrinology showed significant and sustained improvements in multiple clinical markers of diabetes and cardiometabolic health in the CCI group compared to the UC (usual care) group . These included reductions in HbA1c, fasting glucose and insulin, weight, blood pressure, triglycerides, and liver alanine transaminase . The CCI group also saw higher rates of diabetes reversal and remission .

GLP-1 Deprescription: A recent study published in Diabetes Therapy explored the impact of discontinuing GLP-1 agonists in patients who had successfully integrated Carb-Restriction Nutrient Therapy (CRNT) supported by Virta's telemedicine model . The study found that patients did not experience weight regain after stopping GLP-1 medications, and while HbA1c levels increased slightly, they generally remained below the diagnostic threshold for diabetes

Claire Hall, a researcher at Mindset Health, joins us on episode 96 discusses menopause and the effectiveness of hypnotherapy in treating hot flashes.

Summary of episode:

• Hypnotherapy is an effective non-drug alternative for managing hot flashes, as it has been shown to reduce their frequency and severity. It has shown in trials that hypnotherapy can reduce Hot flash severity by up to 70% . It also seems to be helpful in reducing anxiety and depression and sleep disturbances related to menopause.
• Mindset Health develops hypnotherapy-based apps to deliver evidence-based protocols for various conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome (Nerva app), menopausal hot flashes (Evia app), and smoking cessation (Finito app).

• Menopause is often viewed negatively in society, but it is a natural life transition that involves hormonal changes leading to symptoms such as hot flashes.

• Hypnotherapy works by guiding patients into a deeply relaxed state and then providing therapeutic suggestions that reinforce coolness and control over body temperature.

• A study involving 10,000 Evia users found that 70% experienced a clinically significant improvement in vasomotor symptoms.

• Mindset Health prioritizes publishing both clinical trial data and real-world user data to provide a comprehensive understanding of the effectiveness of their digital therapeutics.

• Hypnotherapy may be more effective than traditional treatments for hot flashes. A study published in the journal Menopause found that women who used hypnotherapy to treat their hot flashes had a 70% reduction in symptoms, compared to a 20% reduction in women who used hormone therapy.

• Hypnotherapy may help to reduce anxiety and depression during menopause. A study published in the journal Maturitas found that women who used hypnotherapy to treat their hot flashes experienced a significant reduction in anxiety and depression symptoms.

• Hypnotherapy may help to improve sleep quality during menopause. A study published in the journal Sleep found that women who used hypnotherapy to treat their hot flashes experienced a significant improvement in their sleep quality.

• Hypnotherapy is a safe and effective treatment for hot flashes that has no side effects. Unlike hormone therapy, hypnotherapy has no known side effects, making it a safe and effective option for women who are looking to relieve their hot flashes.

Having a child is supposed to be great joy for a parent. However  up to 11% of women and 2% of men, experience postpartum depression; a unique mental health condition that is often downplayed, overlooked, and under-treated. It has significant implications on child and parent alike.  My colleague Dr. Iyer of Eastside Natural Medicine of Kenmore, Washington joined me in this most thoughtful discussion of this topic. Dr. Iyer has been someone I have respected for many years. She is compassionate, clear thinking, brilliant, and keeps it real. Through her work as a  licensed midwife, naturopathic physician and University of Washington school of nursing instructor,   she has developed a special interest in grief.  She feels  the perinatal period is a type of grief process that needs proactive support. It's quite fascinating to listen to her. It’s no doubt why students, patients, and colleagues love Dr. Iyer as she is someone you can really trust. I hope you enjoy it and please share it with new parents or new parents to be as this episode is important to hear  .Find Dr. Iyer and her bio at https://eastsidenaturalmedicine.com/

Alopecia

The human scalp contains approximately 100,000 to 150,000 hair follicles; its easy to take hair for granted until you start to lose it. Hair loss is a complex area of health care as there are many different types including Lymphocytic driven hair loss, Neutrophilic driven hair loss, mixed forms, non-scarring hair-loss, scarring hair loss, patterned hair loss, focal hair loss, and the most common diffuse hair loss. You can see this isn't so straightforward.

According to our guest Jill Grunewald, the creator of The Reversing Alopecia Roadmap ; they all share similar underpinnings and imbalances . Jill believes in addressing the gut, immune system, and hormones to reverse alopecia and she shares some of these concepts with us in our discussions.

She also shares some success stories that involved the immune system, her favorite hair loss supplement, and some comments on when to use some latest hair loss technologies like microderm rollers and red light therapy helmets.

About Jill:

Jill McLaughlin Grunewald is a holistic nutrition and hormone coach, Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach, and founder of Healthful Elements LLC. She specializes in alopecia, Hashimoto’s, adrenal dysfunction, women’s health, and blood sugar imbalances and is the co-author of the #1 bestselling Essential Thyroid Cookbook: Over 100 Nourishing Recipes for Thriving with Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s.

For nearly 17 years, Jill has successfully guided her clients and students to health and vitality—she has helped numerous with Hashimoto’s successfully manage their condition and has helped many with alopecia reverse their devastating hair loss with her first-of-its kind, signature program for the hair loss community called The Reversing Alopecia Roadmap.

Jill’s own Hashimoto's has been successfully managed since late 2008 without the use of thyroid drugs. She had suffered from mild alopecia, off and on, starting at the age of 13 and then became devastatingly half bald with the alopecia ophiasis pattern in her early 40s. She refused to accept her fate and after digging into all the root causes of alopecia, grew all of her hair back. She’s suffered some relatively mild setbacks in the last two years, but all of those spots have filled in or are currently in a growth phase.

Jill has written for various publications, blogs, and online magazines, including Huffington Post, MindBodyGreen, Dr. Frank Lipman’s BeWell blog, Dr. Susan Blum’s blog, and Experience Life magazine, has contributed to articles in Self and Shape magazines, and was quoted in

Oprah’s O Magazine about thyroid nutrition.

Autoimmune diseases often have multifactorial causes, including genetic predisposition, environmental factors, lifestyle choices, and immune system dysregulation. Integrative treatments aim to identify and address these underlying causes instead of merely managing symptom. While conventional therapies are often necessary to stabilize autoimmune disease processes; integrative approaches are often needed to drive the disease into remission.

In this episode, we were joined by Dr. Akil Palanisamy, a Harvard-trained physician who practices integrative medicine . The author of the book The T.I.G.ER. Protocol; An integrative 5-step program to treat and heal your autoimmunity.

Episode Highlights:

• How has Dr. Akil’s personal practice changed

• Change in the landscape of autoimmunity

• Dr. Akil’s framework of thinking about autoimmune disease

• How the gut is so involved with autoimmunity

• How was his book “Tiger protocol" born and its origin

• Breakdown of what the acronym “TIGER” means

• The effect of toxins in the immune system and how would dysfunction in the lymphatic drainage affect the immune system

• The genetic component and how certain people are set up to be more environmentally sensitive or affected by toxicant loads 

• How to make the body less hospitable to infections

• How we can improve our health

• Importance of Akkermansia muciniphila in the gut

• Why should we care about postbiotics

• Concepts to think about that actually impact the immune system 

• Cell danger response

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome encompasses a consortium of imbalances in the body that results in suffering from sensitivities to foods, chemicals, and environmental triggers. These sensitivities seem to be mediated by over release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators by mast cells. The consequences are vast including digestive, neurologic, immune, dermatologic, endocrine , musculoskelatal, and psychological impact. This episode brings in an expert in this area Dr. Jessica Pizano to help us understand this complex scenario that often gets missed clinically or misdiagnosed leaving people suffering with out answers.

About our guest.

Dr. Jessica Pizano graduated with honors from the University of Bridgeport's functional nutrition master's program. She continued her education at Maryland University of Integrative Health (MUIH) where she graduated with a Doctor of Clinical Nutrition. During her years in academia, she became very interested in working with those with rare diseases. The mantra for rare disease sufferers around the world is "When you hear hoof beats, think zebra's, not horses. This is, of course, the opposite of what has been taught in medical schools.

Dr. Pizano is also the owner of Mast Cell Advanced Diagnostics where she sees patients with mast cell activation disorders and other rare diseases. The practice provides patients with a comprehensive approach to rare disorders incorporating nutrition, nutritional genomics, metabolomics, neural retraining, and medical management. Her goal is to provide a comprehensive care solution for patients helping bridge the gap in care that these patients typically face. Dr. Pizano works very closely with some of the top doctors treating mast cell activation syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, immunodeficiency disorders, familial alpha hypertryptasemia, and autoimmune small fiber polyneuropathy. In addition to seeing patients from around the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, she also frequently provides support to physicians working with these rare diseases via practitioner education and consults. In addition to the conditions listed above, Dr. Pizano has worked with multiple chemical sensitivities, Lyme disease, biotoxin illness, mood disorders, autism, autoimmune diseases, rare genetic deletions, mitochondrial disorders and other diseases.

Along with her business partner Dr. Chrissie Williamson, Dr. Pizano is the co-owner of SNPed, a webinar-based series to educate practitioners in nutritional genomics and systems medicine. She has developed course work at the master's level at MUIH in nutritional genomic counseling, has published a series of peer-reviewed journal articles on the microbiome and contributed two chapters on nutritional genomics in a graduate level nutrition textbook.

Photobiomodulation is the use of light to gain some therapeutic effect. One form of photobiomodulation is using red light within a very specific light spectrum to improve cellular function and restoration for conditions like chronic pain, fatigue, connective tissue disorders, and dermatologic health. In this episode we welcome my friend and colleague Dr. Drew Sinatra. I have been fortunate to know Dr. Sinatra for 18 years and he is someone I treasure dearly.  In this episode we talk about

• What is red light therapy and how does it work?
