    Does Trauma Cause Illness? with Dr. Sara Gottfried

    Does Trauma Cause Illness? with Dr. Sara Gottfried

    What do autoimmune conditions, cardiovascular disease, chronic pain, rashes, joint pain, and fatigue have in common? 

    They’re among the dozens of chronic health conditions associated with childhood trauma.

    This discovery is revolutionizing medicine, and in this episode, my dear friend Dr. Sara Gottfried joins me to unpack it all. In our discussion, Dr. Gottfried shares both clinical insights and her personal experiences of the ways unresolved trauma can surface in our physical health.

    We also cover how it happens, the signs you’re living with the effects of trauma, and most importantly, what you can do now to get free of the past—from traditional therapies to the emerging research on psychedelics. 

    It’s a fascinating conversation! If you’ve tried everything to feel better and nothing’s helped, this information could bring you hope.

    Getting Lean for Life with Dr. Bill Campbell: Part 1

    How can the average person get and stay in shape without living at the gym? 

     

    That’s the question Dr. Bill Campbell, fat-loss expert and professor of exercise physiology, has dedicated his career to answering. He joins me in this episode to share the essential lessons he’s learned while running the University of South Florida’s Physique & Performance Lab.

    We cover a lot of ground, like fat-loss myths and facts, anti-aging training, and how to get and stay fit using a lifestyle you can maintain. Then, Dr. Campbell definitively answers a question I hear frequently: Is it really true your body can’t use more than 22g of protein at a time? 

     

    The best part? He’ll be back next week for part 2 of this fascinating conversation. You won’t want to miss any of it!

    High Protein or Keto? with Vanessa Spina

    High Protein or Keto? with Vanessa Spina

    What would happen if you followed a ketogenic diet, but increased the protein?

    That’s the question biomedical scientist Vanessa Spina set out to answer, and in this episode, we’re exploring her absolutely crazy results and what they taught her about energy, body composition, and lifelong health.

     

    We’re covering so much ground, from macronutrients and ketosis to our vegan pasts (yes, you read that correctly!). Plus, Vanessa shares some fascinating information about mitochondrial health—what it means, why it matters so much, and what you can do to improve it. Be prepared to have your mind blown.

    Detoxify Your Mouth with Dr. Sanda Moldovan

    Do you know which oral condition increases your risk of a heart attack? Or what your teeth can tell you about the strength of your bones? 

     

    In this episode, I talk to Dr. Sanda Moldovan, a board-certified periodontist and nutritionist, about all things dentistry. She explains how symptoms like persistent fatigue, headaches, and blurred vision may be connected to your mouth, what a full-mouth detoxification is and how to get one, and the ingredients to use—and skip—in your oral-hygiene products. 

     

    If you’ve ever wondered what biological dentistry is all about, this episode is for you. But I have to warn you: you may never want to go back to a conventional dentist again.

    Have you ever told your doctor you’re struggling to feel well, only to hear, “Well, you’re getting older…”? You’re not alone. 

     

    This is such a common experience—and it happens to doctors, too, including my guest, Dr. Taz Bhatia. In this episode, she reveals her own experience with medical gaslighting, how it changed her approach to practicing medicine, and what you can do if it happens to you. 

     

    We discuss how you can advocate for yourself and your well-being, from understanding how your hormones are shifting and the effects that has on your life to finding a doctor who will collaborate with you and work to optimize your physiology. We also cover sneaky culprits that could be taking a toll on your health, what your labs aren’t telling you, and how to make menopause a time to rise into your power.

    How to Reduce Your Bio Age with Dr. Kara Fitzgerald

    How to Reduce Your Bio Age with Dr. Kara Fitzgerald

    Did you know the average American is aging faster than they should? It’s true. Your biological age tends to be older than your actual age, and most of us will spend the last 16 years of our lives managing multiple illnesses.

    Needless to say, we need to do something about this—and fast. 

     

    Fortunately, we can. In this episode, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald joins me to talk about her mind-blowing study, in which they de-aged people by three years in just eight weeks. She’s going to explain the study, what they learned about the real levers of aging, why genetics aren’t as influential as we previously thought, and what we can all start doing today to live better for longer. You’re going to be shocked by how simple it is to literally turn back the clock.

    5 Daily Supplements Post-Menopausal Women Should Be Taking

    Did you know that postmenopausal women are at a significantly higher risk of conditions like osteoporosis, heart disease, and dementia? On top of that, we often deal with brain fog, chronic inflammation, bloating, and other frustrating symptoms. 

     

    The good news is you don’t have to sit back and accept it. 

     

    You can start protecting yourself against these risks right now. Based on years of research, I created a supplement regimen that makes me feel better now than I did in my 20s. In this episode, I’m sharing my top five supplements for post-menopausal women, so you can feel your best, too. I'm betting that most of these will be new to you, so have a listen (and be sure to talk to your doctor about anything you incorporate into your routine).

    How to Start Intermittent Fasting with Gin Stephens

    How to Start Intermittent Fasting with Gin Stephens

    If losing weight feels like a losing battle, this episode is for you. I’m joined by Gin Stephens, a science teacher turned fasting expert, who lost 80 pounds––and has kept it off for 10 years—with intermittent fasting. 

    In this discussion, we're talking about the hardest part of intermittent fasting: getting started. After speaking with thousands of people and discovering why they give up, Gin created a simple approach for establishing the habit, sticking with it, and finally seeing results.

    We cover common misconceptions about fasting, why intuitive eating may have failed you, and how achieving metabolic flexibility can change your relationship with food.

     

    Plus, Gin shares her tips for dealing with hunger and cravings, and the magic of giving fasting a try for 28 days. 

     

    If your metabolic health is on your mind, this conversation is going to give you some serious food for thought.

    How I Prepared & Recovered From My Hysterectomy

    How I Prepared & Recovered From My Hysterectomy

    I had big plans for my 60th birthday. A full hysterectomy wasn’t one of them. But due to an unexpected diagnosis, I ended up having one anyway. 

     

    The good news? Thanks to some key habits, it was easier than I dreamed possible. 

     

    In this episode, I’m sharing everything I did to prepare my body and mind for surgery and healing, so I could accept this health challenge, minimize muscle loss during recovery, and come back strong.
