This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Bioptimizers, and Paleovalley.  Contrary to popular belief, women cannot follow the same health and fitness protocols as men and expect the same results. Unlike men, women in their reproductive years have specific hormonal considerations, and their rise and fall throughout the month impact everything from energy to focus, mood, metabolism, and the ability to adapt to good-for-you stressors like exercise or fasting. Meanwhile, perimenopause and menopause pose a whole other list of considerations to keep women feeling well. In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Mindy Pelz and Dr. Sara Gottfried about why we need to prioritize teaching women about their hormones. Dr. Mindy Pelz is a renowned holistic health expert and one of the leading voices in educating women about their hormonal health. She has empowered hundreds of thousands of people around the world to tap into their bodies' innate healing abilities through her “5-Step Approach,” which uses fasting, personalized nutrition, stress management, chemical detoxification, and lifestyle changes to optimize health and slow the aging process. Dr. Sara Gottfried is a board-certified physician who graduated from Harvard and MIT. She practices evidence-based integrative, precision, and Functional Medicine. She is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Integrative Medicine and Nutritional Sciences at Thomas Jefferson University, and Director of Precision Medicine at the Marcus Institute of Integrative Health. Her three New York Times bestselling books include: The Hormone Cure, The Hormone Reset Diet, and Younger. Her latest book is called Women, Food, and Hormones.

This episode is brought to you by Mitopure and LMNT. For nearly all of our history, humans consumed no grains, and our bodies are designed to work very well without them. Today, however, grain-based foods are by far the number one source of calories in the American diet. While whole grains can be a great source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, the toxic amounts we eat contribute to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and dementia. Plus, most of the grains we eat—even whole wheat—are turned into flour products which have a higher glycemic index than table sugar. In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I talk about why grains are such a contentious food, how to tackle the pros and cons of whether it belongs in your diet, and which grains are actually okay to eat.  This episode is brought to you by Mitopure and LMNT.

Is it a clock-swinging magician or a comedy hypnosis show?

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, AG1, and Paleovalley.  While the ketogenic diet is often thought of as a diet to help people lose weight, it has a much broader application with therapeutic benefits that help to reset metabolism and restore mitochondrial function.  Researchers have found that a ketogenic diet can be a potent tool in cancer treatment as well as in neurodegenerative disorders and mental illness. In today’s episode, I talk with Mark Sisson, Dr. Sarah Hallberg, Dr. Christopher Palmer, and Dr. Patrick Hanaway about how a ketogenic diet can be used as a treatment for serious health conditions. Mark Sisson is the founder of the popular daily health blog Mark’s Daily Apple, godfather to the Primal food and lifestyle movement, and the New York Times bestselling author of The Keto Reset Diet. His latest book is Keto for Life, where he discusses how he combines the keto diet with a Primal lifestyle for optimal health and longevity.

Simply put, autoimmune diseases are conditions where the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues rather than a foreign molecule like bacteria, and they are a huge problem both in this country and worldwide. You’re probably familiar with the most common autoimmune diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism, and psoriasis. But there are many more autoimmune diseases that affect the nervous system, joints and muscles, skin, endocrine gland, and heart. In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I talk about the main causes of autoimmune disease, the conventional medicine approach versus the Functional Medicine approach to treating autoimmune disease, and how to reverse the course of these devastating illnesses.  This episode is brought to you by Essentia and Cozy Earth.

Mental health problems are the number one driver of indirect healthcare costs, loss of productivity, and diminished quality of life. Yet, we aren’t very successful at treating them with modern medicine.  Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I am excited to talk to Dr. Pamela Kryskow about the renaissance of psychedelic medicine and how these compounds are finally being recognized as powerful tools for overcoming hard-to-treat health issues like PTSD, depression, addiction, and more.  Dr. Pamela Kryskow is a medical doctor and the medical lead of the non-profit Roots To Thrive Psychedelic Assisted Therapy Programs, which treats people with PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use challenges, and with end-of-life distress.

This episode is brought to you by Essentia and Cozy Earth. Conventional medicine often fails us when it comes to hormonal imbalances. Hormones aren’t commonly tested, and many of the symptoms of imbalance are written off to aging and never addressed. Our hormones are like a symphony, with each one acting as a specialized instrument to keep our bodies in tune. Unbalanced hormones can lead to impaired mood, poor sleep, memory difficulties, sexual problems, and more. Get your hormones back in balance, and these problems usually disappear. In today’s episode of a new series I’m calling Know Your Numbers, I dive deep into male and female sex hormones. I discuss what you should measure to understand your hormonal health in a whole new way, the difference between conventional and optimal lab ranges, and much more.  You can test your hormonal health with Function Health, a company I co-founded. It has been a lifelong dream for me. Function is the first-ever membership that includes over 100+ lab tests and personalized insights from globally renowned doctors based on your results.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, AG1, and AquaTru.  Our circadian rhythm is our body’s innate clock that tells us when to wake up and when to go to sleep. Unfortunately, our modern lifestyle can really throw off this clock and the consequences are steep, resulting in poor sleep, or worse yet, reduced sleep that carries over to every aspect of our lives. In today’s episode, I talk with Drs. Todd LePine, Andrew Huberman, and Roger Seheult about why your circadian rhythm matters, how to start your day off right, and ways to reprogram your body clock.

These are systemic disorders where the body affects the brain. Yes, there’s a mind-body connection, but there’s also a body-mind connection. And everybody is different. ADHD is just a name we give to people who share a collection of symptoms: They can’t focus or pay attention, they’re inattentive, and they are hyperactive. These are symptoms. But what are the causes? In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I talk about what causes ADHD, why it’s so prevalent, and my top strategies to address it.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Mitopure, and Cozy Earth.  Histamine is a common term when discussing allergies, but there is really so much more to it. Histamine is both made by the body and found in food. It has a key function in digestion and also acts as a neurotransmitter. People who have more histamine in their bodies than they can break down may experience a variety of symptoms including hives, heart palpitations, migraines, fluid retention, runny nose, and more. Often, histamine intolerance can be traced back to gut dysbiosis and mast cell activation syndrome. In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Todd LePine, Dr. Leo Galland, and Lisa Dreher about how histamine plays a role in sleep, digestion, allergies, skin conditions, and so much more. Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is board certified in internal medicine, specializing in integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, for 10 years. Dr. Leo Galland is a board-certified internist, an international bestselling author, and one of the founders of Functional Medicine. Since the onset of the pandemic, he has devoted most of his time to research on Covid-19 and to the education of other health practitioners in understanding the biology of the disease.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa University and AG1. Do you experience cravings for sugar and refined carbs? Do you regularly feel tired or sluggish or experience brain fog? Do you have joint pain, muscle aches, bloating, gas, sinus problems, skin problems, anxiety, depression or insomnia, or simply put, do you “feel like crap?” Most people, at some point in their lives, have experienced what I call FLC Syndrome—this is when you Feel Like Crap. Yet most people have no idea what causes it or how to fix it. The good news is that most of us are only a few days away from feeling well, ending sugar and carb cravings, and having control over our bodies.  In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I talk about how to activate your body’s extraordinary healing and reparative systems with my 10-Day Detox Diet. The 10-Day Detox addresses foundational gaps missing in our modern diet, supplements that support our natural detoxification systems, minerals and amino acids that promote relaxation and deep rest, and a dietary protocol that works by taking out the wrong foods and focusing on the right foods to transform your body in just a few days.  This episode is brought to you by Rupa University and AG1.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, BiOptimizers, Levels, and AlgaeCal. We live in a country that claims to be based on science, goodwill, and policies intended to help people. But these things are often heavily influenced and manipulated by industry, particularly Big Food, Big Pharma, and Big Ag, which have corrupted many institutions, politicians, professional associations, and research entities.  Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m excited to talk to Marianne Willamson, candidate for President in 2024 and a good friend of mine, about her vision for how we can change our food system, economy, environment, and public health outcomes for the better. Marianne Williamson is a political activist, author, non-denominational spiritual lecturer and New York Times bestselling author. Her career began in the 1980s when she became deeply involved with HIV/AIDS activism.

To date, the charitable organization has served over 16 million meals. She also founded the LA Center for Living, the Manhattan Center for Living, and cofounded The Peace Alliance.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Joovv, LMNT, and Zero Acre.  The daily activities of life revolve around our brain, and yet it is so easy to forget to prioritize the things we need to do in order for it to thrive. Our modern lifestyle can have many harmful effects on the brain, but it is possible to learn how to minimize the insults and get started on the path to better brain health. In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Dale Bredesen, Jim Kwik, and Dr. Daniel Amen about why it’s important to pay attention to your brain health and how to optimize your brain function. Dr. Dale Bredesen is internationally recognized as an expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and the author of the New York Times bestsellers The End of Alzheimer's, The End of Alzheimer's Program, and his latest book, The First Survivors of Alzheimer's: How Patients Recovered Life and Hope in Their Own Words. Jim Kwik is the founder of Kwik Learning and a widely recognized world expert in speed-reading, memory improvement, brain performance, and accelerated learning. For over two decades he has served as the brain coach to many of the world’s leading C-suite executives and celebrities. After a childhood brain injury left him learning-challenged, Jim created strategies to dramatically enhance his mental performance. He has since dedicated his life to helping others unleash their true brainpower to learn faster and perform smarter. Dr. Daniel Amen is a physician, double board-certified psychiatrist, twelve-time New York Times bestselling author, and founder and CEO of Amen Clinics, with ten US locations. Dr. Amen is the author of many books including the mega-bestseller Change Your Brain, Change Your Life, as well as The End of Mental Illness, Memory Rescue, Healing ADD, and Your Brain Is Always Listening.

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and BiOptimizers. We’re told that milk is a perfect food that we should drink daily—three glasses to be exact—in spite of a large (and growing) body of research showing its lack of benefits and awful side effects. Even though cow’s milk today contains dozens of reproductive hormones, allergenic proteins, antibiotics, and growth factors, some of which are known to promote cancer, the dairy industry wants us to believe that their cows are happily producing milk and grazing through green pastures. For the most part, that couldn’t be further from the truth. In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I talk about common dairy myths, why it is such a contentious food, how to tackle the pros and cons of whether it belongs in your diet, and which dairy is actually okay to eat.  This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and BiOptimizers.  Access more than 3,000 specialty lab tests with Rupa Health.

(15:08 / 14:18)  My recommendations for eating dairy (17:31 / 15:36)  What should you look for when buying a dairy product? (20:47 /17:20)  Mentioned in this episode Milk and Health Hosted on Acast.
