The Clinician's Corner

In this episode of the Clinician's Corner, we talk with Dr. Alan Christianson, who has dedicated his life's work to advancing our understanding of thyroid disorders. After spending almost a year meticulously reviewing existing medical literature on thyroid support products, he has developed new, research-based approaches to help those suffering from thyroid issues. We also discuss the controversial role of iodine in both hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's disease, and Dr. Christianson shares his insights on the potential for deprescribing thyroid medications and managing thyroid conditions through diet.

In this interview, we discuss:

• Effects of nutrients and iodine on thyroid function

• Thyroid antibodies and their implications

• Dietary and nutritional strategies for thyroid health

• Natural supplements and thyroid health (inc. iodine content)

• The link between thyroid health and cholesterol/cardiovascular health

• Genetic variations and iodine-related issues

• Importance of an individualized approach to thyroid management

• Necessity of considering the overall clinical picture and symptoms (and not relying on numbers alone)

In this episode of the Clinician's Corner, we dive into the very important but less-discussed topic of hormone health and fitness for women over 50. At the age of 56, Debra Atkinson - a renowned hormone-balancing fitness expert - discovered the importance of tailoring fitness to the hormonal and metabolic needs of women, especially in midlife. This episode exposes the stark lack of research focused on women in exercise science, a gap Debra has observed firsthand. Her insights demonstrate not only how adept she is in this niche field, but how well she understands the nuances of working with women during a life stage that is constantly in flux.

We discuss:

• Common myths about exercise and calorie-burning

• How bioindividual a fitness program needs to be in order to be effective

• Practical considerations for how to customize an exercise strategy just like we would the diet or a supplement protocol

• The impact of high-intensity interval training versus strength training

• Why cutting back can sometimes mean gaining more when it comes to fitness

• Specific challenges that women face as they approach menopause and how factors like stress, nutrition, and rest play critical roles in shaping their fitness journeys

In this episode of the Clinician's Corner, we have Dr Bryce Appelbaum, a pioneer in neuro-optometry passionate about unlocking life's potential through vision. His expertise includes reorganizing the visual brain post-concussion to return to learning and returning to life, remediating visual developmental delays interfering with reading and learning, and enhancing visual skills to elevate sports performance.

We did a deep dive into vision and learned so many things about how integral it is to our health. In this episode you'll learn:

• The important difference between eyesight and vision

• The different health conditions that can have vision challenges as an underlying component

• What symptoms we should be looking out for to determine if vision is compromised

• How screens are impacting our vision and what to do to compensate - both for ourselves and our kids

• How gut health and food sensitivities affect our vision

And so much more….

Dr. Appelbaum is on a mission to change the way the world views vision. He believes there is more to vision than just 20/20 eyesight and has developed programs to retrain the brain to revise the eyes. He is the owner and managing doctor at Appelbaum Vision, PC, a private practice specializing in Vision Therapy and Rehabilitation with offices in Bethesda and Annapolis, Maryland. He is the founder and CEO of ScreenFit, the premier eye doctor-created online vision training program designed to transform your tired, strained, and blurry computer eyes into HD clear vision.

If you've ever superdosed on broccoli sprouts, then this episode is for you. And if you've not superdosed on broccoli sprouts, you'd better come hear what you've been missing and understand the power of the compound sulforaphane, which is the primary beneficial compound in those sprouts that, as it turns out, is one of the most versatile, powerful, and beneficial compounds there is. The best part? You don't have to superdose broccoli sprouts to experience these positive effects!

There are very few supplements on the market that can boast the benefits that a truly bioavailable sulforaphane product can provide. This episode of the Clinician's Corner is with David Roberts and John Gildea, founding partners in Mara Labs, which produces the most bioavailable form of sulforaphane on the market.

In this episode you'll learn:

• The incredible health benefits of sulforaphane
• Why sulforaphane is so hard to get via supplements, and how they've found a way to dramatically increase the bioavailability of this important compound
• How sulforaphane helps with sleep, inflammation, cancer, digestive health, neurological health, detoxification, and genetic expression - it is truly one of the most multi-purpose and powerful supplements on the market!
• The key difference between sulforaphane and glutathione.
• And so much more!
