January 14, 2020EP 161 - Is Histamine Making You Sick?
Experiencing cramps, digestive issues, or flushed skin after eating? Histamine might be the culprit.
Determining the cause of digestive and gut health issues can be complex. Though many know of disorders like leaky gut, GERD, and IBS, a lesser known gut disruptor is histamine intolerance.

Histamine is a compound released by immune cells and is very important to the immune system and estrogen production. However, having too much histamine can cause digestive cramps, loose stools, urgent bowel movements, and flushing skin or hives.
An increase in patients with histamine intolerance and similar gut issues is caused by a number of factors:
Today, people aren’t eating enough vegetables or enough variety of vegetables.
People are eating too much processed food that’s high in sugar and low in fiber.
Humans no longer ferment foods regularly, which used to be a regular practice in the winter.
Everyone is exposed to medications, and there is more self-prescribing and self-diagnosing than ever before.
More toxic substances are present in everyday household items like makeup and cleaning supplies.
Americans are generally undernourished because diets lack the proper vitamins and minerals.
Fortunately, histamine intolerance can be managed with a low-histamine diet.

Listen as Nour Zibdeh joins Dr. Taz to discuss histamine intolerance.

January 07, 2020 EP 160 - A Cure for Loneliness
Learn how group visits can cure loneliness and greatly improve our healthcare system.
For many, our current healthcare system isn’t working.

James Maskell has spent the last decade sparking debate and innovating at the cross section of functional medicine and community. His Functional Forum helps healthcare professionals explore alternate routes to insurance, predictive and preventative medicine best practices, and learn more about group visits, in which multiple patients experiencing the same issue can seek treatment together.

December 31, 2019 EP 159 - Prevention and Reversal of the Cognitive Decline of Alzheimer's
Alzheimer’s disease can and should be prevented. Dr. Dale Bredesen explains how.
In recent years, Alzheimer's disease has affected more and more people and it’s hitting at an earlier age. It’s the third leading cause of death in the United States. Two-thirds of Alzheimer's patients are women.

As recently as a few years ago, there was no hope for people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. However, recent research shows that those who come in early can have a very good prognosis. The key is prevention and early detection.

In addition to genetic testing, adults age 45 and older should have conversations with their physician about lifestyle factors that can cause Alzheimer’s. They should also start getting regular cognoscopies, a test used to evaluate the risk factors that can cause neuro-degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.

Dr. Dale Bredesen explains that a healthy plant-based diet that’s mildly ketogenic, stress management, and regular sleep patterns can help prevent Alzheimer’s and other neuro-degenerative diseases.

Listen as Dr. Dale Bredesen joins Dr. Taz to discuss the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease.

December 24, 2019 EP 158 - Calling All Martyr Moms: The Power of Walking
Regular walks with friends can help women reduce loneliness and the risk of heart disease.We’re experiencing a loneliness crisis in our country.

A recent study showed that 73% of women admit to feeling lonely. We’re simultaneously facing a fitness and wellness crisis. Despite the fact that we have more access to information about how to stay healthy than ever before, we’re having trouble turning that knowledge into action.

The solution to both of these issues might be simpler than you think — establishing a regular walking practice with other women. Studies have shown that women who walk regularly with friends are 2.5 times less likely to often feel lonely.

A regular walking practice also reduces your risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, dementia, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and several types of cancer.

Listen as 99 Walks founder Joyce Shulman joins Dr. Taz to discuss regular communal walking.

December 17, 2019 EP 157 - Are Your Beliefs Hijacking Your Life?
Stop running on autopilot and learn how to lead an extraordinary life.Every person has the potential to lead an extraordinary life and become an extraordinary leader, parent, professional, or spouse. But, often our subconscious mind gets in our way and holds us back.

The way our subconscious mind operates is established by the age of seven, so our brain is essentially functioning on code written by a seven-year-old. In order to find your calling and be the shaper of your life, not a victim of your circumstances, you need to stop living on autopilot and actively re-write the code — and your beliefs.

This starts with looking internally and honestly examining your beliefs. You need to take responsibility for the way you’ve been living and learn to reconstruct your beliefs to become the person you’d like to be. And Darren Gold explains how to do that in 10 minutes a day.

Listen as Darren joins Dr. Taz to discuss how to live an extraordinary life.

December 03, 2019 EP 155 - Having a "Limitless" Approach to Life
When we learn research from brain science and education, we can live in a more free and “limitless” way.New evidence in brain science contradicts much of what we’ve learned in the past and were taught in school. Namely, we now know that our brains are plastic, so they are constantly changing as we learn.

It was once thought that every person was born with certain gifts and certain people were more inclined to be good at math or the arts. However, this new research suggests that everyone is capable of learning and succeeding at anything.

Unfortunately, many institutions, including schools and boardrooms are still functioning in the old-school mode, which keeps many girls from succeeding at the same rate as boys in the areas of STEM—despite the fact that they have the same innate potential to succeed.

Dr. Jo Boaler shares tips on how to make the classroom and boardroom a better environment for women and girls to succeed.

Listen as Dr. Boaler joins Dr. Taz to discuss neuroplasticity and limitless learning.

Find out how you can merge the worlds of holistic living and plastic surgery.With the prevalence of social media, we often see images of celebrities and influencers with perfect skin and bodies. This has altered our perception of beauty and age, and many women feel like they can’t keep up.

Some women turn to plastic surgery, but many who attempt to lead a holistic life would rather leave surgery as a last resort.

Dr. Anthony Youn shares tips for how to maintain young and healthy looking skin. He encourages eating well, exercising, limiting stress, and being mindful of what you put on your skin. He notes that there are thousands of chemicals in skincare products that are legal in the U.S. but banned in Europe, and women should skip these products in favor of clean products.

He also shares his "Two Minutes, Five Years Younger" skincare regimen, which includes:

Morning
Cleanser that’s appropriate for your skin type
An antioxidant serum with vitamin C and vitamin E
Sunscreen (SPF 30 or more) without hormone disruptors

Night
Cleanser that’s appropriate for your skin type
Anti-aging retinol cream
Moisturizer (if you have dry skin)

Dr. Youn also covers various types of non-invasive surgery such as intensive pulsed light for age, sun, and liver spots, and cool sculpting, laser sculpture, and Emscuplt for fat reduction and muscle shaping.
