The Clinician's Corner

Did you know that underneath all the root causes we support as functional health professionals, there's something that connects them all… and that something is disrupted in 20% of the population? In this episode of the Clinician's Corner, we do a deep dive with Dr. Aaron Hartman on the topic of hypermobility, a key and unsung contributing factor to many of the health issues we see in practice - from gut health, to autoimmune disease, to ADHD. It's a connective tissue disorder that quite literally connects these and many other issues - and one that is almost always overlooked by health professionals.

In this interview, we dive deep into the important and wildly underdiscussed topic of hypermobility with one of the world's experts: What is hypermobility? What's the spectrum of disorder? How does hypermobility affect other things we think of as the "root causes" of chronic disease? How do we identify if a client is dealing with hypermobility? Most importantly, what do we do about it?

Dr. Aaron Hartman is a clinical researcher, founder of the Virginia Research Center, and currently is serving as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Family Medicine at the VCU School of Medicine. He has been involved with over 60 clinical studies. In 2016 he founded Richmond Integrative and Functional Medicine, and he now helps patients identify leverage points in key areas of their lifestyle & health that harness their body's remarkable power to heal and begin living the vibrant life they deserve. He has become the 'go to' doctor for difficult and hard cases in central Virginia.

In this episode of the Clinician's Corner we have Research Microbiologist and Chief Scientific Officer at Microbiome Labs (one of our very favorite probiotic companies), Kiran Krishnan, sharing some of the most compelling research connecting the gut and the brain. As we all know, we are currently living in the "era of the microbiome", and there is daily development in understanding the complex and bi-directional relationship between our digestive system and our brains. This is evolving into the popular concept of the Gut-Brain Axis (GBA).

Kiran explains how the microbiome ecosystem can influence central nervous system physiology through production of anti-inflammatory compounds, maintenance of a strong intestinal barrier, production of neurotransmitters, regulation of stress response, and vagal nerve stimulation. In this episode, we dive into:

• How mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, as well as common digestive issues such as indigestion can be precursors to cognitive decline and Alzheimer's Disease
• How the gut and the brain are actually two components of the same system
• The bi-directional relationship between stress and the microbiome
• The key source of endotoxin-driven inflammation, and how to stop it
• The concept of microbiome clouds and how this can influence our clinical approach
• The top two driving factors that drive dysregulation in both the gut and the brain
• Fascinating new research on a specific strain of Bifidobacterium Longum that has been shown to dramatically reduce inflammation
• And of course, invaluable clinical pearls on how to integrate these learnings with our clients in day-to-day practice

If you've not heard Kiran speak before, you're in for a treat. He has been involved in the dietary supplement and nutrition market for the past 17 years, coming from a strict research background, working for years in product development for Amano Enzyme, USA, one of the world's largest suppliers of therapeutic enzymes, designed and conducted dozens of human clinical trials in human nutrition, and now in his role as Chief Scientific Officer at Physician's Exclusive and Microbiome Labs. He has developed over 50 private-label nutritional products for small to large brands in the global market, is a frequent lecturer on the Human Microbiome at Medical and Nutrition Conferences, and is currently involved in 9 novel human clinical trials on probiotics and the human microbiome.

The ketogenic diet has surged in popularity over the last few years. According to data from the Food Information Council, 23 million Americans chose to follow a ketogenic diet in 2022, which is more than double the number from just 4 years prior (10 million in 2018).

With this surge in popularity, however, comes a surge in criticism along with the adulteration of the original therapeutic principles that inevitably accompany a diet's commercialization. It's time to clear through the confusion and get to what the research is showing us. In this episode of the RWS Clinician's Corner we are joined by one of the world's topmost experts in the ketogenic diet: Dr. Dominic D'Agostino.

In this interview, we do a deep dive into what every nutrition professional needs to know about the ketogenic diet: When this diet is best used clinically; when it's contraindicated; and how to structure it for best results. What the latest research is telling us about the therapeutic application of this protocol - from metabolic health to neurological considerations and cancer Exogenous ketones: when and how to use them. The intricacies of macronutrient ratios and when/how to cycle in and out of ketosis Measurement: the best forms for tracking ketosis and other key biomarkers to monitor.
