Healthpath Podcast

In this episode I speak with Keith Littlewood about thyroid health.

We discuss: ways to evaluate thyroid function, the role food and certain nutrients play in supporting, or disrupting, thyroid function, the role environmental toxins play in thyroid health, the relationship between the thyroid and gut health including digestive enzyme production, and the importance of a holistic, systems biology approach

I speak with Dr. Nina Fuller-Shavel about...well lot's of different things! We discuss the concepts of resilience, trust and safety, the importance of community, the role trauma can play in disease, and the importance of patience along the healing journey.

The take away is that we need to focus as much on the bigger picture (if not more so) than on the minute details that so many of us seem to get drawn in to.

In todays episode I speak with CEO of LifeCode GX, Emma Beswick about histamine intolerance. We discuss: (1) What histamine is (2) How we can develop histamine intolerance including the role of stress, infections, and poor gut health play, amongst others (3) The signs and symptoms of histamine intolerance (4) Key micronutrients important for histamine degradation and cell membrane stability (a key factor in histamine issues) (5) The genetics and the role they play

In todays episode of the Healthpath podcast I speak with healer Melchior Arnold about quantum healing. Melchior shares with us his own healing journey before explaining the many ways, and layers, of healing. We discuss the power of our emotions, our thought, language, brain waves, and energy medicine. Melchior encourages us to consider everything from the cellular level to a community level (and perhaps even a global level!). How can we create a 'coherent state' conducive of optimal wellbeing? Melchior is a Certified IQM Practitioner and teacher, MindJung Mentor, Coach, Quantum Alchemist and Dr. Joe Dispenza student

I speak with shamanic practitioner Eddy Elsey about mental health. We talk about Eddy's work, the importance of ritual, non-attachment, mindfulness, the spiritual world and what to expect when working with a shamanic practitioner. Eddy shares a lot of wisdom in this conversation that I feel can help so many of us struggling with both physical and mental symptoms/conditions.

I speak with Glenn Taylor from U.K based 'The Taymount Clinic' about fecal microbiota transplants. We discuss the clinic's journey from 2003 when it was set up, to the process of obtaining specimens from donors, how a fecal microbiota transplant works, the risks of stool transplant when important processes aren't followed, and what the experience looks like when visiting Taymount. We finish by discussing the clinic's experience supporting patients and what they have learned along the way. Today, over 3000 clients have completed their FMT Programme in the UK.

Dr Jerry Thompson draws on an immense range of case histories and research studies to show how what we eat, the toxic load we carry, the environmental electromagnetic fields we live in, and our beliefs and attitudes to health and illness can change the course of disease. The result is a practical guide to what we can learn from 'survivors' about how to improve our chances of good health and recovery.

I speak with Kiran Krishnan from Microbiome Labs about 'metabolic endotoxemia' (aka leaky gut). Kiran explains what this condition is, how it influences almost all systems in the body, and how we can recover from it by considering:

- Microbiome diversity

- Key stone species of bacteria such as Akkermansia

- Metabolic products such as short chain fatty acids

- Competitive inhibition/resilience

Kiran goes on to share dietary, lifestyle and supplement considerations that help optimise these four factors

In todays episode I speak with Dr. Lauren Macdonald, an integrative practitioner and an expert in the mind-body connection. Dr. Macdonald shares with us her own journey from aggressive stage IV cancer - with a prognosis of 12 months - to where she is now; healthy, vibrant and very much alive. We discuss numerous elements of holistic healing ranging from the role of surrender, post traumatic growth, psychedelics, the concept of resilience, and the difference between being healed from being cured. We hope you enjoy!
