You know those old sayings ...

Feeling butterflies in your stomach? 

Have a gut instinct? 

Or trusting your gut.

They are no accidents. 

 Without a doubt, the gut-brain connection is both real and important, affecting much more than how we digest our food. Over the past few years, more and more research has become available showcasing the gut’s widespread effects on our mood, hormones, immune systems, and overall well-being. Think of your gut as the control center for all of the operating systems in your body. Amazing, right?

This is why having good gut health and proper nutrition is so VITAL. 

In today’s episode, Dr. Christine Schaffner talks with Alison Marras, a nutritional therapy practitioner and passionate home chef. They discuss the importance of gut health, how nutrition helped Alison put her illness in remission, as well as strategies for good gut health and healing.

Why do we dream? Do dreams hold psychological meaning or are they merely the reflection of random brain activity? What purpose do dreams serve? Questions on the origins and meaning of dreams are as old as humankind, and as confounding and exciting today as when nineteenth-century scientists first attempted to unravel them. 

Our brains spend the entire time we're asleep processing the memories we formed during the day before, strengthening them,  filing them, discovering patterns, and generally figuring out what they mean all so that they will be more useful to us in our future waking lives.

In this week’s episode of Spectrum of Health, Dr. Christine Schaffner talks with Dr. Bob Stickgold to discuss how our dreams play an integral role in our nightly memory processing, as well as how these new memories might fit with what we already know. 

Dr. Bob Stickgold is a cognitive neuroscientist and professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He is the co-author of When Brains Dream as well as published over a hundred scientific papers on sleep and dreams.

What if you could now use the ElectroMagnetic Frequency (EMF) pollution to your advantage, by making this technology biocompatible?

In this episode of the Spectrum of Health Podcast,  Dr. Christine Schaffner sits down with Dr. Mindy Beck to discuss how to harness the EMF pollution and wasted frequencies emitted from your devices, and transform them into beneficial information vital to the body’s self-healing process.

Dr. Beck started practicing Naturopathic medicine in 2004, but as a child athlete, she developed a special interest in water and the structure of the body. 

Dr. Beck first witnessed the devastating effects of artificial EMR when she was treating clients with chronic Lyme disease. This experience spurred her to research the effects of manmade EMR on biology.

After four years of seeking solutions for her ailing patients, Dr. Beck was introduced to Biosyntonie and soon after to Pierre Nicolas himself. Knowing Pierre's methods were the answer to helping not only to protect her clients, but humanity from the destructive nature of manmade EMR, Dr. Beck retired from private practice to dedicate herself full time to the mission of launching Tilys Biotech (now YouMatrix).

Studies using modern state-of-the-art methods (such as genetic sequencing) find that people with chronic sinusitis have a different sinus microbiome than healthy people without sinusitis.

They have fewer bacterial species and an abundance of some other species.

In this Episode of Spectrum of Health, Dr. Christine Schaffner sits down with Erik Galuppo, the co-founder of Lanto Health, to discuss the sinus microbiome, chronic sinus issues, and the benefits of taking nasal probiotics to alleviate their suffering. They also discuss the future of sinus probiotics and understanding the human microbiome.

Erik Galuppo is an entrepreneur with a recent focus on health and wellness. Erik, along with his brother, Adam. grew up battling chronic sinusitis. For 25 years, the brothers experimented with all types of antibiotics, special diets, and even sinus surgery.

The Galuppo brothers took to the internet for a better solution. They came across research suggesting that a keystone bacteria called Lactobacillus sakei is found naturally in healthy sinuses and was being used experimentally for sinus issues.

Our stem cells serve a unique purpose and persist throughout life.  They replace cells lost to homeostatic turnover, injury, and disease. However, their functions decline with age which contributes to degeneration and dysfunction. Imagine if we could activate those cells to regenerate new cells and utilize them to support our health and wellness at any age.  

Dr. Christine Schaffner sits down with David Schmidt, inventor, and founder of LifeWave,  to discuss stem cell research using LightWave technology and how light therapy can be used to regenerate stem cells.

David Schmidt is the inventor of LifeWave technology and founder and CEO of LifeWave. The LifeWave Technology was born out of three years of intense research by David into the concept of being able to naturally increase energy and stamina through elevation of fat burning, utilizing wireless communication to the human body via phototherapy.

Our bodies have a natural, built-in ability to heal themselves.

Every cell in the human body works tirelessly to keep us at a natural healthy balance. And these cells have the ability to heal or replace themselves, all to keep our bodies functioning at optimal levels.

To create good health, from the inside out, we must remove the things that hinder that optimal performance.

Stress is one of the main culprits that prevent us from being our best selves. Research has shown that emotional and physical stress is at the root of most diseases. Unless we address our stressors directly, how can we provide a healing outcome?

In today’s episode, Dr. Christine Schaffner talks with Mike Broadwell of Solara Gem. They discuss how crystals can support your body from pain and stress, how crystal fusion light works, and how it can help your wellness journey.

Mike Broadwell has spent the last decade specializing in crystal fusion light therapy, working with leading specialists in integrative health and wellness.

According to the World Health Organization, chronic illness and disease are the leading causes of death worldwide – and they’re on the rise.

But nobody is talking about what’s behind most of these chronic illnesses – mold and mycotoxins (small toxins produced by fungi present in our food and homes).

If you have an underlying issue with mycotoxins, then your chronic illness may be treatable and reversible. 

In this Episode of Spectrum of Health, Dr. Eric Gordon and Dr. Nafysa Parpia talk with Dr. Schaffner about the importance of detoxification therapies during mycotoxin and complex chronic illness treatment. They also discuss keeping an open mind to the diversity of diagnosing and treating complex chronic illnesses. 

Dr. Nafysa Parpia has spent the last decade treating patients with complex chronic illnesses from all over the US and the world.  Her specialization is patients with tick-borne disease, mold/mycotoxin illness,  environmentally acquired condition,  autoimmunity, fibromyalgia, and ME/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). Modalities she uses include a synergistic blend of regenerative medicine, oral and intravenous micronutrient therapies, peptide therapies, botanical medicine, pharmaceuticals, injection therapies, functional nutrition, and lifestyle counseling.

Dr. Parpia sees patients at Gordon Medical in the San Francisco Bay Area.  She is on ISEAI’s Board of Directors (International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness) and is a Scientific and Medical Advisor for Neurohacker Collective.  She received her Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine from Bastyr University and her Bachelor of Science from the University of British Columbia.

Eric D. Gordon, MD, President of Gordon Medical Research Center (GMRC), is the founder and owner of Gordon Medical Associates (GMA) in the San Francisco Bay area, specializing in complex chronic illness. In addition to clinical practice (40+ years), Dr. Gordon is engaged in clinical research. Combining forces with Dr. Robert Naviaux and his research into metabolomics, mitochondrial function, and chronic inflammatory disease is now bringing this dream to life. In 2016 Dr. Gordon was co-author with Dr. Naviaux on a groundbreaking study, “Metabolic Features of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,” published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS).

In this new episode of the Spectrum of Health Podcast, join me Dr. Christine Schaffner and my guest, Diamandia Lingos, as she shares how she overcame past trauma, eating disorders, and excessive exercise habits through daily meditation, reading books like The Body Keeps the Score and implementing lymphatic drainage techniques. She discovered the powerful impact of caring for her lymphatic system, which led her to invent a unique stone body gua sha to activate lymph nodes and improve circulation.

Diamandia beautifully illustrates her journey to self-love, surrender and allowing herself to receive what she needs on all levels. She emphasizes the importance of choosing yourself daily and shares how self-care allows you to be the best version of yourself.

Lyme Disease is a disease that cripples families both physically and financially. 

Today, Dr. Christine is joined by Phyllis Bedford, Executive Director of Lymelight Foundation, and her daughter, Dr. Sarah Bedford, an Immanence Health Resident. They share what motivated them to start the foundation, their hope for the future, and how they can help families of children battling Lyme Disease. 

Two families started LymeLight Foundation with children diagnosed with Lyme disease. Through their children’s struggles, both families discovered the incredible expense of battling Lyme disease and the inability of many families to afford proper treatment. Unfortunately, most treatment plans for Chronic Lyme are not covered by insurance. Existing Lyme foundations mainly focus on funding research and awareness. LymeLight Foundation is uniquely dedicated to funding medical treatment for individuals with Lyme.

The Foundation awards grants to eligible children and young adults through 25 years of age. The goal and hope of the Foundation are that through these grants, children can receive proper treatment and medications in their fight against Lyme disease.

The LymeLight Foundation is recognized by the IRS and the State of California Franchise Tax Board as a tax-exempt 501 (c) 3 organization. Contributions to the LymeLight Foundation are tax-deductible as allowed by law.

• {09:00} The process for receiving donations
• {14:00} Sharing doctors and treatments that have worked
