Number 1: What Mammograms May Miss: What Every Woman Should Know About Breast Health and Early Detection with Jasmine Khorsandi
Join The Circle and use code "PODCAST": https://holplus.co/circle/ Many women first learn that they have dense breast tissue after receiving a mammogram report. But what does breast density actually mean, and could it change the type of screening a woman should discuss with her healthcare provider? In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, ultrasound sonographer and SonoBreasts founder Jasmine Khorsandi discusses dense breasts, automated whole-breast ultrasound, early detection, and the gaps she believes exist in conventional breast screening. Jasmine explains how SonoCiné automated whole-breast ultrasound captures thousands of images that are compiled into a moving view for review. She compares the experience with handheld ultrasound and mammography and explains why she advocates greater awareness of supplemental imaging, particularly for women with dense breast tissue. Dr. Taz shares her own experience of finding a lump and moving through a mammogram, ultrasound, MRI, and biopsy over six months before learning that the finding was benign. She and Jasmine discuss the anxiety, confusion, and logistical challenges women can encounter while navigating breast imaging. Jasmine also shares stories from her practice, including a young woman whose persistent breast pain led her to seek additional evaluation. She explains why women should learn what is normal for their breasts, pay attention to physical changes, understand their personal risk factors, and ask more informed questions about screening. The conversation expands beyond imaging to explore stress, burnout, emotional health, feminine energy, intuition, and community. Jasmine describes the physical burnout that forced her to change how she operated her business, accept help, and make more room for rest, spiritual practices, and connection.

Number 2: Dr. Zach Bush: How the Microbiome Affects Metabolism, Brain Health, and Chronic Disease
Join The Circle and use code "PODCAST": https://holplus.co/circle/ What if chronic disease, declining energy, cognitive issues, and fertility challenges are not isolated problems, but signs of a deeper disconnection from the natural world? In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, Dr. Zach Bush explores the relationship between human health and the health of our environment. Drawing from his background in internal medicine, endocrinology, cancer research, and hospice care, he explains how his search for the root causes of disease led him from the hospital and laboratory to the microbiome, soil science, and regenerative agriculture. Dr. Bush describes mitochondria as essential generators of cellular energy and explains how the microbes living within and around us help support metabolism, immunity, neurological function, and communication throughout the body. He shares his perspective on how chemical agriculture, declining biodiversity, and changes in our food systems may be affecting these biological relationships. Dr. Taz and Dr. Bush also discuss the rise of obesity, insulin resistance, autoimmune disease, cognitive decline, chronic fatigue, and infertility. Dr. Bush presents his theory that these conditions may be connected through a broader decline in metabolic energy and our increasing separation from nature. The conversation ultimately turns toward hope and practical action. Dr. Bush explains why restoring soil, supporting regenerative farmers, growing food, strengthening local communities, and spending more time in direct contact with nature may help rebuild both human and planetary health. He also shares how something as simple as growing a mint plant can begin restoring a family’s relationship with living food. In this episode:Dr. Bush’s journey from conventional medicine to microbiome and soil researchWhat mitochondria do and why they are essential for cellular energyHow the microbiome influences metabolism, immunity, and brain functionThe relationship between soil health, food quality, and human healthHow chemical agriculture may disrupt biological communicationWhy Dr. Bush describes modern illness as nature deficit disorderHis theory connecting metabolic decline with chronic disease and fertilityWhy supplements cannot fully replace a healthy food systemHow regenerative agriculture can support human and planetary healthSimple ways to reconnect your family with food, soil, and natureWhy community and human connection may be essential parts of healingAbout Dr. Zach Bush: Dr. Zach Bush is a triple board-certified physician specializing in internal medicine, endocrinology and metabolism, and hospice and palliative care. His work has focused on the relationships between the microbiome, human health, environmental health, food systems, and regenerative agriculture. After years of working in conventional medicine and biomedical research, Dr. Bush began exploring how soil health, biodiversity, and chemical exposure may influence human metabolism and chronic disease. His work helped give rise to Project Biome and Farmer’s Footprint, initiatives focused on regenerative food systems and restoring the relationship between human and planetary health.

Number 3: Tamsen Fadal on the Menopause Symptoms Women Aren’t Warned About: Brain Fog, HRT, and Reclaiming Midlife
Join The Circle and use code "PODCAST": https://holplus.co/circle/ Tamsen Fadal was an experienced news anchor when heart palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, and severe brain fog left her on the bathroom floor of her newsroom. Despite spending decades in the media, she had no idea she was experiencing menopause. In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, Tamsen shares how that frightening experience led her to investigate why so many women remain unprepared for perimenopause and menopause. Tamsen reflects on losing her mother to breast cancer and later realizing that her mother had experienced medical menopause following chemotherapy and a double mastectomy. Nearly 28 years separated their experiences, yet both women suffered without the information or support they needed. That realization inspired Tamsen to step away from a three-decade career in television journalism and devote her work to menopause education and advocacy. She explains how social media revealed the scale of the problem and gave women a place to share symptoms and experiences that had been ignored or dismissed. Dr. Taz and Tamsen also discuss the confusion surrounding hormone replacement therapy, the importance of personalized care, barriers to finding informed doctors, and the role telehealth may play in improving access. They explore how brain fog, anxiety, sleep disruption, and other symptoms can affect women’s confidence, careers, relationships, and sense of identity. Tamsen also shares the story behind The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause. After being told there was no audience for a menopause documentary, Tamsen and her partners self-funded the project, brought together leading experts and women’s personal stories, and ultimately secured national distribution through PBS. The conversation turns toward reclaiming menopause as a powerful stage of life rather than a period of invisibility or decline. Tamsen discusses her book, How to Menopause, and the practical lifestyle changes that have helped her take better care of herself at 54. In this episode:Tamsen’s frightening menopause experience in the newsroomHeart palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, and severe brain fogWhy she did not recognize her symptoms as menopauseHer mother’s experience with medically induced menopauseWhy menopause care has changed so little across generationsLeaving a three-decade journalism career for women’s advocacyThe fear and financial uncertainty of making a major midlife changeHow social media helped women begin sharing their experiencesCreating The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on MenopauseBeing told there was no audience for a menopause documentaryWhy hormone replacement therapy remains confusingThe need for personalized menopause treatmentWhat to do when a doctor dismisses or minimizes your symptomsImproving menopause research, education, and access to careHow menopause symptoms affect women in the workplaceReframing menopause as a powerful new stage of lifeThe sleep, exercise, protein, stress, and alcohol changes helping Tamsen at 54About Tamsen Fadal: Tamsen Fadal is a 13-time Emmy-winning journalist, New York Times bestselling author, documentary filmmaker, podcaster, and menopause advocate. After more than three decades as a television journalist and news anchor, she shifted her work toward helping women understand perimenopause, menopause, and life beyond midlife. Tamsen is the author of How to Menopause: Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better Than Before. She is also a co-producer and executive producer of The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause, a documentary exploring the medical, emotional, social, and workplace effects of menopause.

Number 4: You Don’t Need a Cleanse. Here’s How Your Body Actually Detoxes
Join The Circle (use code PODCAST): ➡️ https://holplus.co/circle/ Your body is detoxifying every day, but that does not mean every juice cleanse, detox tea or supplement actually supports the process. Detoxification is not something your body does only during a cleanse. It is a continuous process involving your liver, gut, kidneys, lymphatic system and skin. In this episode, Dr. Taz explains what detoxification actually means from a holistic and functional medicine perspective. She breaks down the five major pathways your body uses, the nutrients those pathways require and the everyday factors that can reduce their capacity. You’ll discover why protein is essential for liver phase two conjugation, how constipation can interfere with elimination, why your lymphatic system needs movement and how sleep supports the brain’s own clearing processes. Dr. Taz also examines popular detox methods, including juice cleanses, detox teas, foot pads and extended fasting, explaining why many of them fail to provide what the body needs most. Rather than chasing another detox product, learn how protein, fiber, hydration, cruciferous vegetables, movement and sleep can support the sophisticated detoxification systems you already have.

Number 5: Dr. Sue Morter: Energy Blockages, Nervous System Dysregulation, and Why Healing Gets Stuck
Join The Circle and use code “PODCAST”: https://holplus.co/circle/ What if the symptoms you feel in your body are not random, but signals of something deeper happening in your energy system? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Dr. Sue Morter, master of bioenergetic medicine, founder of the Morter Institute for Bioenergetics, and author of The Anatomy of Awakening, to explore how energy medicine connects to the nervous system, chronic stress, emotional patterns, and the body’s ability to heal. In this episode Dr. Sue explains how energetic blockages can show up as a lump in the throat, tightness in the chest, a knot in the stomach, chronic tension, anxiety, digestive issues, allergies, pain patterns, and other symptoms that often appear disconnected from the deeper root cause. Dr. Sue shares how the flow of energy through the body acts like a master system, influencing the nervous system, endocrine system, digestive system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, and the body’s self-regulating capacity. When that flow becomes blocked by unresolved emotions, survival patterns, stress, fear, or disconnection from the self, the body may move into dysregulation and lose access to its natural healing intelligence. If you’re listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don’t know where to start,” join the Circle here: 👉 https://holplus.co/circle Healing is not just about treating symptoms. It is about understanding the deeper patterns beneath them, including stress, emotional suppression, nervous system dysregulation, breath, posture, self-compassion, and the relationship you have with your own body. Learn more about support related to this conversation: Mental Health: https://holplus.co/services/mental-health Anxiety: https://holplus.co/conditions/anxiety Dr. Taz and Dr. Sue also discuss why affirmations and manifestation practices may not work if they are coming from the protective or performing personality, why posture and breath can help shift the body into a different state, and how reconnecting with the true self can open the door to healing, creativity, safety, and wholeness. If you’ve ever felt stuck in chronic stress, disconnected from your body, frustrated by symptoms that don’t fully resolve, or curious about the connection between energy, emotions, and physical health, this episode will help you understand what may actually be happening beneath the surface. In this episode, we cover: What energy medicine really means and why it belongs in the healing model How energetic blockages can dysregulate the nervous system Why symptoms like chest tightness, throat tension, stomach knots, and chronic pain may be body signals How unresolved emotions and survival patterns can affect physical health Why the body can get stuck in fight-or-flight, even when the original threat is gone How breathwork, posture, and internal awareness help energy move through the body Why affirmations may not work when they come from a place of lack or fear How self-compassion helps shift the relationship between the protective personality and the true self What Dr. Sue means by “the anatomy of awakening” and the five hidden codes How small daily practices can begin to restore a sense of safety, wholeness, and self-healingThis is not just about energy healing. It is about understanding the body as a connected system, learning how stress and emotion shape your physiology, and remembering that healing often begins by returning to yourself. About The Guest: Dr. Sue Morter is an international speaker, master of bioenergetic medicine, founder of the Morter Institute for Bioenergetics, and author of The Anatomy of Awakening. With more than 40 years of clinical experience, she is known for bridging energy medicine, neuroscience, consciousness, breathwork, and embodied healing practices to help people move from survival patterns into coherence, vitality, and wholeness.
