Here's the episode where we will dive into the world of Lyme disease with my special guest, Heather Gray, famously known as "The Lyme Boss." Our paths crossed at a conference in October, igniting a discussion about the often-overlooked connection between tick-borne illnesses and thyroid disorders.
In this episode, Heather, a pioneer in Lyme disease understanding and treatment, shares her insights into the complexities with chronic Lyme disease and how it can easily mimic other disorders. Heather's personal journey with Lyme disease not only adds depth to her expertise but also brings a unique empathy to her approach in treating and guiding patients through their struggles.
Our conversation is packed with enlightening discussions on recognizing symptoms, understanding diagnosis, and exploring effective treatment options for Lyme. This episode is not just an exploration of chronic Lyme diagnosis and treatment but also a source of empowerment for those facing these intricate health challenges.
Whether you're a patient grappling with these conditions, a healthcare professional, or just someone keen on expanding their health knowledge, this episode with Heather Gray offers invaluable perspectives and hope in the complex world of Lyme disease and thyroid health.

419. Poop and Your Gut: More than you Ever Wanted to Know for Inflammation, Weight and Disease

Alright, let’s dive deep into the intricate dance of Alzheimer's, hormones, and lifestyle choices. In this episode, I'm thrilled to bring you insights from the brilliant Dr. Josh Helman, as we explore why hormone levels and lifestyle factors aren't just health buzzwords—they're central to understanding and potentially preventing Alzheimer's. As someone personally touched by Alzheimer's, thanks to my family history, this topic isn’t just professional; it’s deeply personal. Dr. Helman sheds light on how our traditional reactive approach to medicine contrasts sharply with the preventative measures we could be embracing. Together, we unpack the complex interplay of genetics, lifestyle, and chronic disease management that could revolutionize our approach to neurodegenerative diseases.
And believe me, this isn't your standard medical discourse that leaves you more confused. Dr. Helman and I discuss tangible actions you can take today, from the impact of stress to dietary supplements and even novel activities to keep your brain agile. Omega-3s and the often overlooked yet crucial pregnenolone, and lifestyle changes that can dramatically shift your health and your future...we discuss their contributions too. Our aim is to equip you with the knowledge and tools to take charge of your health, potentially staving off Alzheimer's. This conversation is packed with cutting-edge science made digestible, because understanding your body shouldn’t be a puzzle—it should be a revelation. So, tune in and let’s get proactive about our brain health together.

418. Unlocking Memory: The Intersection of Alzheimer's, Hormones, and Lifestyle Choices - A Thyroid Fixer's Guide

In this exclusive episode, I dove into the incredible world of pregnenolone, a crucial steroid hormone synthesized from cholesterol, vital for producing various sex hormones and balancing cortisol levels. I covered its profound impact on brain health, potentially guarding against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, and its role in managing stress, hormone balance, and overall vitality. I also explored how pregnenolone can aid in managing conditions from menopause to autoimmune disorders, enhance skin health, and even support weight management.

417. Benefits of Pregnenolone and Why You Need It

In this episode I turn my focus to a critical yet often underestimated aspect of health: iron, specifically ferritin levels. With the guidance of Caitlyn Hartigan, an expert in The Iron Protocol, we explore the multifaceted role of iron in the body and the widespread implications of its deficiency. As our discussion unfolds, it becomes evident how essential iron is, not only for basic physiological functions but also for overall vitality. Caitlyn provides a deep dive into why symptoms associated with iron deficiency are frequently overlooked and how standard medical tests can fail to identify the issue.
During our conversation with Caitlyn, we address the practical steps involved in managing and optimizing ferritin levels through safe and effective supplementation strategies. This episode moves beyond general health advice, delivering a critical analysis of common misunderstandings about iron’s role in our health. For those experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, hair loss, or brain fog, or for anyone interested in preventative health, Caitlyn’s insights are invaluable. Her methodical approach to iron supplementation and her personal experiences with managing deficiency make this discussion a cornerstone episode for understanding a key aspect of health maintenance. Join us as we shed light on the underappreciated but crucial topic of iron and ferritin, providing you with the knowledge you need to take control of your health.
