Fredrickson Health SHOW

In this episode we discuss, how an autoimmune disease became increasingly more prevelant in Dr. Akter's practice, and how some of the testing and treatment options didn't get the results the patient's were looking for. After a deep dive into the root cause of the illness, Dr. Akhter took it upon himself to fill the void and narrow in and focus on supporting and putting autoimmune conditions back into remission in his practice.

Dr. Francesca LeBlanc discusses her journey with adrenal fatigue in episode 23 of the Fredrickson Health Show  “No, it’s not in your head – you have adrenal fatigue.”  Finally. It had a name. I had a plan. And within months I was beginning to cross those symptoms off my list one by one. This was really important to me, as I was now in my late thirties and planning to have children. Of course, during times of stress, I have to practice extreme self-care as a proactive measure, but I can honestly say that despite running after two tiny humans, I live a pretty normal, symptom-free, joyful life. Listen to the story of Dr. Leblanc in this episode!

Have questions on Nutrigenomic or genetic testing? If so, this episode is for you! In episode #20 of the Fredrickson Health Show, I interview Rian Overcash from Habit Method Health.

“In America, 70% of adults report that they obtain insufficient sleep at least one night a month, and 11% report insufficient sleep every night. It is estimated that sleep-related problems affect 50 to 70 million Americans of all ages and socioeconomic classes.”

Ronda Holman is The Airway Champion at least that’s how you’ll know her if you’re on TikTok.

She is a 21 year US Airforce trained dental assistant who has spent her entire career looking at airway disorders and their negative effects on the mouth. She has dedicated the last three years to helping patients and strangers understand the negative effects of oral breathing on their oral health. Ronda not only has a passion to help people discovered the root cause of so many non-communicable diseases, but she grew up with an undiagnosed airway disorder herself. After connecting the signs to the symptoms it is her mission to help others learn to see the signs so they can advocate for themselves. Many people do not understand the biomechanics of breathing. Nor do they understand the detrimental effects over-breathing/mouth breathing has on sleep quality. Ronda had extraction retraction orthodontics completed when she was 12 years old. She was diagnosed with upper airway resistance syndrome when she was 37 years old. Ronda then made a choice to either live with struggling to breathe during sleep every night and continue to watch her oral health decline or make a change to improve her airway health. She shares her passion every day to help people understand the difference between sleep and quality sleep and its inter-relationship between airway health and breathing.

“Gut health” describes the function and balance of bacteria of the many parts of the gastrointestinal tract. Ideally, organs such as the esophagus, stomach and intestines all work together to allow us to eat and digest food without discomfort.
