Many people are quick to change their diet, try supplements, or pursue costly treatments, yet often ignore the health risks of electromagnetic radiation (EMF). Why? Because for decades, industry and governments have focused on making the public believe the risks are smaller than they are, instilling doubt so that we will not press for safer technologies. 

In this episode of the Dr. Eleanor Stein Podcast, Dr. Paul Héroux, professor at McGill University and expert in the biological effects of EMF, shares insights into how everyday exposures to electricity and wireless technologies may influence health, chronic disease, and ecosystems. He explains why our cells are vulnerable to interference from EMFs, how this relates to energy production and inflammation, and why some people experience electrohypersensitivity more severely than others. We also touch on research about fertility, neurological conditions, and ecological concerns. 

Dr. Héroux also shares five effective strategies you can use right away to reduce your exposure and protect your health. He notes that industry-level solutions exist but have not been implemented because they are not considered convenient. This conversation examines the science, the policies that shape public perception, and the reasons many people still overlook the risks of EMF.

Learn how to safely incorporate gentle movement into daily life—without triggering post-exertional malaise (PEM), a major feature of many chronic illnesses.  

In this episode of the Dr. Eleanor Stein Podcast, fitness coach Caroline Jordan shares practical strategies from her years of experience helping people with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia, POTS, hypermobility, and chronic pain. She explains how movement, when adapted to the individual, can support energy, ease pain, and help maintain function—without pushing the body beyond its limits.  

Backed by both science and experience, this conversation explores how movement supports mitochondrial function, improves strength, eases pain, and enhances emotional well-being. Caroline offers inclusive and adaptable fitness approaches that help people reconnect with their bodies and build resilience—even with limited energy.  

Highlights include the following:  - Understanding post-exertional malaise and why pacing matters  - The role of mitochondrial energy in fatigue and recovery  - Gentle movement strategies: chair workouts, mobility, and walking routines  - How to begin safely with chronic pain, hypermobility, or elevated heart rate  - Maintaining strength and mobility without gym equipment  - The importance of self-compassion and listening to your body  - Sustainable, personalized routines for long-term progress.

Caroline also shares how to access her large library of free and low-cost workout videos and coaching programs for people of all abilities. Visit her website at https://carolinejordanfitness.com.  

This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about memory, brain fog, or dementia—whether you're a patient, caregiver, or clinician. There is hope, and science is catching up.

In this powerful conversation, Harvard- and MIT-trained physician Dr. Joshua Helman joins Dr. Eleanor Stein to discuss groundbreaking research and clinical experience showing that Alzheimer’s and dementia can be slowed, stopped, and even reversed. Drawing from over 100 cases and AI-analyzed root causes, Dr. Helman explains why lifestyle changes—not a single drug—are the most effective path forward.  

Learn why deep sleep, not just sleep, is essential for clearing amyloid plaques, how processed foods and chronic inflammation damage the brain, and why toxins like mold, heavy metals, and petrochemicals must be addressed in cognitive care. Dr. Helman shares the latest tools, tests, and treatments—from fasting and brain scans to galectin-3 inhibitors and plasma exchange—all grounded in science.  

Key takeaways include
- Alzheimer’s may involve up to 200 root causes, as identified by AI analysis of patient data
- Lifestyle strategies can significantly reduce dementia risk even if you have the ApoE4 gene variant
- How lack of deep sleep affects memory and brain detoxification
- The hidden role of mold, Lyme, and industrial toxins in cognitive decline
- Why processed food damages brain blood vessels and blocks nutrient intake
- The role of a plant-based, fiber-rich diet in restoring brain and gut health
- Effective, evidence-based strategies to reduce stress and support neuroplasticity
- Supplements like glutathione and PectaSol that help detoxify and reduce inflammation
- A look at TB006 and total plasma exchange as cutting-edge therapeutic options
- How to get tested and which labs Dr. Helman recommends for patients worldwide

In this eye-opening episode, neurologist Dr. Ilene Ruhoy joins Dr. Eleanor Stein to share her groundbreaking insights into complex chronic illnesses. From her personal experience with a life-threatening brain tumor to treating thousands with long COVID, POTS, MCAS, and connective tissue disorders, Dr. Ruhoy speaks with clarity, compassion, and clinical depth.

- Learn how she uses her clinically formulated septad framework to identify patterns in chronic illness.
- Hear how deep patient histories, environmental exposure analysis, and immune responses guide personalized care.   
- Understand the impact of long COVID research on treating ME/CFS, spike protein persistence, and immune dysregulation.   
- Discover her careful use of trial-and-error treatments, starting low and adjusting based on individual response.  
- Explore the importance of mutual trust and therapeutic alliance between doctor and patient.   
- Gain insight into how infections, toxins, and genetics intersect to shape chronic health challenges.

With training in neurology, environmental toxicology, and integrative medicine, Dr. Ruhoy brings a unique lens to healing. This conversation is rich with practical knowledge, scientific precision, and hope for people living with misunderstood conditions.
