In this episode of BTBHA, Dr. Meaghan talks to Dr. Eric Balcalvage and Dr. Kelly Halderman about their new book "The Thyroid Debacle". According to the American Thyroid Association, an estimated 20 million Americans have some form of thyroid disease, which causes symptoms such as extreme fatigue, depression, forgetfulness, weight gain, and hair loss. If thyroid conditions go undiagnosed, those patients - the vast majority of them women - may be at risk for cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and infertility. Unfortunately, conventional Western medicine views thyroid conditions as solely a glandular problem, and doctors are taught to employ a simplistic model of testing TSH and T4 to evaluate patients' thyroid health. By the time a true glandular disorder presents itself, many prior opportunities to address the condition have been missed. In The Thyroid Debacle, Eric Balcavage, DC, and Kelly Halderman, MD, explore thyroid disorders from a functional medicine perspective, looking to create a paradigm shift in how doctors and patients understand and approach thyroid physiology. They argue that hypothyroidism is more commonly a systemic cellular event and not a localized glandular problem, as is often presumed, and that the key is to look at root causes rather than attempt to mask symptoms with pills. Evaluating the activators of cellular hypothyroidism requires an exploration into the various factors that contribute to the cell danger response - an evolutionary mechanism by which cells and organisms attempt to protect themselves from harm triggered by chemical, physical, or biological threats - as well as tools to reverse it. In this book, you will learn:

• what causes hypothyroid symptoms and thyroid gland dysfunction
• why your doctors are failing you with an outdated model of treating thyroid dysfunction
• what common factors contribute to cellular hypothyroidism, including physical, chemical, emotional, and microbial stressors
• how to overcome chronic hypothyroid symptoms

This revolutionary new approach will help those affected by thyroid disorders make informed decisions with their doctor and take back control of their health. Click here to pre-order The Thyroid Debacle!

In this episode of BTBHA, Dr. Meaghan sits down and talks about the importance of nasal breathing with Nicholas Michalak, the founder of Somnifix.

Many of us are mouth breathers at night. Not only does this increase the chances of sleep apnea and snoring, but it can also lead to other health problems. Studies have shown that nose breathing provides many benefits that improve sleep, such as:

• Parasympathetic activation. This is also known as the relaxation response and it helps sleepers achieve and maintain deep sleep.
• Increased nitric oxide production. This helps to improve immunity and kill bacteria in airborne particles. It helps to reduce blood pressure by acting as a vasodilator of blood vessels.
• Optimized carbon dioxide-oxygen exchange through its slower, regulated cadence.
• Reduced discomforts caused by mouth breathing such as dry mouth, sore throat, or nasal congestion.

Dr. Meaghan sits down with world renowned eye surgeon Jerry Tennant, MD. Dr. Tennant is the author of the "Healing is Voltage" book series that includes "Healing Eye Diseases", "Cancer's On/Off Switches: Polarity, Acupuncture Muscle Batteries", and now in its third edition, "The Handbook". Through these books, Dr. Tennant has made decades of research on his healing theories available to everyone.

Dr. Tennant comes on to the show to talk about his 4-step protocol to healing. He is the inventor of the medical device - the Tennant Biomodulator® - and its accessories that use scalar energy and frequency. He uses them to help return a body to what he calls "factory settings" allowing the body to heal itself.

Dr. Tennant started to work with energy medicine when he became seriously ill and traditional medicine could not help him. He went from the top of his game to losing everything. He met with the finest physicians from around the world and when there was no hope, he began studying different and leading-edge medical theories to heal himself. Dr. Tennant discovered connections between Eastern and Western healing methods and began to understand the relationships between the physics of medicine and how cells work and replace themselves. Not only was he able to recover his own health, his practice in voltage medicine sprouted from it. Twenty-five years and many breakthroughs later, Dr. Tennant is an expert in voltage medicine and sees patients from all over the world.

On this episode of BTBHA, Dr. Meaghan sits down with her colleague, Chad Weed, to discuss the importance of functional rehab and how looking specifically at restoring proper musculoskeletal and neurological function can help with any type of disease and dysfunction.

Chad has been working with musculoskeletal concerns for 20 years and one of the patterns that he has noticed is that many times we go after the specific location of dysfunction or pain but don't focus on truly rehabbing what is necessary to get individuals out of dysfunctional patterns. This episode focuses on how musculoskeletal issues are also neurological issues due to the body having to compensate and that we need to take a comprehensive approach to care when dealing with injuries, especially old trauma to the body.
