You've heard that probiotics are important — but do you actually know what to take, why it matters, and whether what you're buying is doing anything at all? In this episode, Dr. Terri sits down with Elizabeth for a no-fluff breakdown of everything probiotics: what they are, why modern life is depleting them, and why strain specificity is the future of gut health.

They cover the surprising reason you might be too clean for your own good, why rotating your probiotics matters more than chasing the highest CFU count, and how the gut microbiome connects to weight management, hormone health, insulin resistance, depression, cardiovascular disease, and more.

You'll also hear how two targeted EVEXIAS formulations — the EVEXIAS GL Pro and the vaginal/bladder-specific probiotic — were designed with clinical research behind them, and why Akkermansia muciniphila may be the most depleted and most important strain in the American gut.

Plus: the case for GI mapping, what conventional GI doctors are missing, and why the Japanese eating raw fish into their 100s might have something to teach us about the standard American diet.

If you or someone you love is dealing with chronic inflammation, recurring infections, weight struggles, or GI issues — this episode is a must-listen.

Your child's "ADHD," your brain fog, your hormone imbalances — they may all trace back to one root cause that almost nobody is checking. And it starts with how your face grew.

This episode is for anyone who has been told their sleep test came back "normal" but still wakes up exhausted — and especially for parents watching their kids struggle with hyperactivity, behavioral issues, or restless nights. If you've handed a child a melatonin gummy and wondered whether there's a better answer, this conversation is for you.

Dr. Terri sits down with Adam, CEO and founder of Rebus Health, a multidisciplinary sleep wellness center built on the radical premise that the question isn't just how you're sleeping — it's why you're not. Adam's team brings together sleep specialists, airway dentists, and functional medicine providers under one roof to get to the anatomical, hormonal, and systemic root causes of sleep-disordered breathing in adults and children alike.

What you'll discover:

The bottom line: sleep disturbances are not a minor inconvenience — they are a root cause of metabolic disease, cardiovascular risk, cognitive decline, and behavioral disorders. The earlier you intervene, the more you can change the trajectory.

ou've said it. You've heard it. Maybe your daughter said it at dinner last week: "There are just no men anymore. They're all boys."

But what if the problem isn't men — it's that nobody ever taught us how they actually work?

In this episode, Dr. Terri sits down with researcher and author Alison Armstrong for one of the most important conversations you'll hear about relational health. Alison has spent 30 years studying men — their stages of development, how testosterone literally shapes their brain, why they go quiet, why they disappear into focus, and what women do (often without realizing it) that brings out the worst in them instead of the best.

Dr. Terri ties it directly to what she sees every day in practice: patients who finally have their hormones optimized, their energy back, their libido restored — and now they're stepping back into relationships with the same blind spots they always had. This conversation changes that.

What you'll discover:

This one is worth sharing. And it's just the beginning — Dr. Terri and Alison are going deeper in future episodes.

And most Americans are still paying for it.

What you'll discover:

Why the Healthcare System Has No Financial Incentive to Make You Well

The United States spends more on healthcare than any country on earth — $4.9 trillion annually. And we rank second to last in actual health outcomes among all developed nations.

That's not a coincidence.

In this conversation, Dr. Terri sits down with her husband and EVEXIAS co-founder Dan DeNeui for one of their most candid, wide-ranging discussions yet. From the exploding wellness industry to the pharmaceutical lobby's quiet war on compounding pharmacies, to an 81-year-old woman whose rapid cognitive decline traced directly back to a statin nobody should have prescribed — this episode pulls back the curtain on a system that profits from keeping people sick.

This one is for anyone who has ever felt like the healthcare system is working against them. Because in a lot of ways, it is.

What you'll discover:

The bottom line: People are waking up. Clinicians are waking up. And the system is running out of ways to keep the truth quiet.

Your Nervous System Is Killing You — Not Your Cholesterol

You bought the wearable. You're tracking your steps. You got your cholesterol checked and everything came back fine. So why does your body still feel like it's running a race it never signed up for?

Here's what nobody is telling you: 30 to 40% of heart attacks have nothing to do with clogged arteries. They happen because the nervous system is broken. And yours might be — right now — without a single symptom to show for it.

Dr. Terri sits down with Dr. Jim LaValle — naturopathic doctor, pharmacist, and one of the most decorated researchers in integrative medicine — for a conversation that reframes everything you thought you knew about heart health. Recorded live at an EVEXIAS training event, this episode breaks down the nervous system's role as the hidden driver behind cardiovascular disease, chronic illness, weight gain, gut dysfunction, and hormone breakdown.

This one is for anyone who feels constantly wired, can't fully recover, or has been told their heart looks fine while their body is screaming otherwise.

What you'll discover:

The bottom line: You don't need a cardiologist to start protecting your heart today. You need to understand your nervous system — and this episode is where that starts.

Nobody Told You About Ferritin — And It's Costing You Everything

Your hormones are optimized. Your thyroid labs came back fine. You're doing everything right. So why do you still feel exhausted, foggy, and like nothing is actually working?

The answer might be a single number your doctor has never mentioned.

Dr. Terri is joined by Dr. Cassie Smith — endocrinologist, hormone optimization expert, and EVEXIAS training faculty — fresh off a regional hormone provider refresher in Destin, Florida. What started as a conversation about why fully optimized patients still feel terrible turned into one of the most practical, eye-opening episodes the show has ever produced.

This one is for anyone who's been told their labs are fine but their body is telling a completely different story.

What you'll discover:

The bottom line: Hormones are not an end-all be-all. Until you fix ferritin, vitamin D, B12, and the gut — nothing else is going to work the way it should.

Your Dentist Is Missing the Biggest Threat to Your Heart, Gut, and Brain

You brush. You floss. You go to your cleanings twice a year. And your dentist tells you everything looks fine.

But what if the bacteria living between your teeth right now are quietly driving up your cardiovascular risk, disrupting your gut microbiome, and making certain cancer treatments less effective?

Dr. Terri sits down with functional dentist Dr. Debbie Ozment — a 41-year practitioner who completely transformed her approach after a single patient's inflamed gums disappeared overnight thanks to a vitamin D injection. What started as curiosity turned into decades of research, a TEDx talk, and a master's thesis called The Forgotten Orifice — because medicine keeps ignoring the one opening that connects to everything else.

This episode is for anyone who's "doing all the right things" but still dealing with chronic inflammation, unexplained lab results, or gut issues that won't resolve.

What you'll discover:

The bottom line: Health starts in the gut. But the gut starts in the mouth. Period.
