On the Evolving Wellness podcast, host Sarah interviews returning guest Dr. Anthony Jay (PhD biochemistry; former Mayo Clinic researcher) about his book Sugar Beat: How Sugar, Not Cholesterol, Destroys Arteries and his broader critique of mainstream cardiology. Jay cites a 28,000-person study where insulin resistance had the highest heart-attack hazard ratio (6.4) versus hypertension (2.2), triglycerides (2.1), and LDL (1.38), arguing doctors overemphasize cholesterol while neglecting insulin and HOMA-IR. He claims statins increase arterial calcification and diabetes risk, criticizes organizations like the American Heart Association, and disputes fears around LDL, ApoB, and Lp(a), describing them as fat-transport/oxidation-related. Jay recommends focusing on metabolic health, diet and fasting to promote fat burning and plaque reversal, cautions about processed foods and mislabeled oils, discusses CAC vs CCTA imaging variability, and notes genetic nuances such as iron-related risk and sitosterolemia.

In this podcast episode, Dr. Brandon Crawford, a chiropractor with training in functional neurology, discusses his work combining functional neurology with photomedicine/photobiomodulation, describing an early pediatric case where laser use appeared to spur unexpected brain development. He explains why some lasers may worsen symptoms (e.g., seizures) due to beam “hot spots,” wavelength energy, and dosing factors such as frequency and duty cycle, emphasizing that light is “information” and not always about increasing ATP. The conversation highlights foundational health strategies—sunlight, grounding, deuterium-depleted water, cold exposure, and reducing screens/non-native EMFs—sharing a case where these improved a child’s labs and heavy metal burden. Crawford outlines a developmental functional neurology framework (sensory mapping, primitive reflexes, muscle spindle “conversion,” spinal cord/motor neuron involvement) and discusses PANS/PANDAS as autoimmune encephalitis, focusing on neuroimmune imbalance and individualized treatment that may include targeted activation, nuanced photobiomodulation, and regenerative options like extracellular vesicles, VSEL procedures, and patented Dezawa MUSE cells. He also notes rising neurodegeneration possibly linked to geomagnetic shifts and the South Atlantic Anomaly, and provides ways to contact his clinic and options for telehealth versus intensives.

Host Sarah Kleiner welcomes naturopath and educator Sheila Kennealy, an American living in France who teaches functional blood chemistry and runs The Practitioner Blueprint course. Sheila shares how early health challenges—Roaccutane, rapid weight loss, heavy antibiotic use, liver and biliary issues, mold exposure, and family trauma—shaped her focus on biochemistry, meditation, and the link between psychological and physiological freedom. They discuss environmental contributors to modern illness (non-native EMFs, food, water, air, mold, viral reactivation), the importance of nervous system regulation, and why dogmatic diets and chronic macronutrient restriction can backfire, especially for women. They emphasize pattern recognition in labs over single markers, seasonality in interventions, supplement fatigue, and nuanced approaches to GLP-1s, HRT, and MCAS/POTS, including the viral Pepcid/Allegra PMDD trend.

On the Evolving Wellness Podcast, host Sarah interviews Larry, a former football player and PhD in exercise physiology, about his worsening anxiety, depression, and cognitive symptoms after years of collision sports and a 2010 diagnosis of significant brain damage. After meeting CTE researcher Ann McKee in Boston and learning of near-infrared light research at the VA, Larry entered a study using a near-infrared headset and reports major improvements in mood, PTSD measures, cognition, and MRI functional connectivity, with symptoms returning when he stopped and improving again on a home device. He describes subsequent research in first responders and a season-long BYU football study comparing sham vs active headsets, reporting broad gains in performance measures and MRI indicators showing inflammation increases in controls but a net loss of inflammation and better axon health in treated players. Larry discusses practical use (20 minutes, typically mornings, three to five days weekly) and argues the approach is disease-modifying and relevant for athletes, veterans, and others.

Blueprint info session - (doors close August 24) - https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/offers/ExuLzY2G/checkout

Low ferritin can leave you exhausted, shedding hair, and wired at night even when your bloodwork looks "normal." In this episode I break down what "ferritin face" really means, the ferritin numbers that actually matter, and the exact labs to bring to your provider.

I share my own story (my ferritin dropped to a 9), the three ferritin patterns to know, why "normal" is not the same as optimal, and the root causes most people miss like estrogen clearance, gut absorption, and blood loss. None of this is medical advice, it's here to help you ask better questions and advocate for yourself.

Do Carbs Cause Diabetes? The Truth About Weight Loss, Hormones, and Reintroducing Carbs (Perimenopause-Friendly)

Sarah Kleiner answers common questions about carbohydrates, arguing that blaming carbs alone for diabetes and weight gain is shortsighted and ignores lifestyle and environmental factors like circadian rhythm, light exposure, sleep, and grounding. She shares her experience with long-term carb restriction leading to low T3, hormone issues, worsened metabolic health, and weight gain, and explains how adding back healthy carbs has helped many clients—especially perimenopausal and menopausal women—sleep better and lose weight. She distinguishes whole-food carbs from processed versions (e.g., potato vs. chips), discusses carb timing and insulin sensitivity, explains individualized carb needs, and addresses glycation, AGEs, oxidative stress, and deuterium through a “terrain/mitochondria” lens.

In this podcast episode, the host interviews Evelyn (“Evie”), who runs Green Medicine of Wisconsin, a cash-based integrative clinic specializing in tick-borne disease in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Evelyn shares her childhood tick bite and classic bullseye rash leading to a clinical Lyme diagnosis, later symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and sore throats, and her path from trauma neurosurgery and primary care into Lyme-focused practice. They discuss 2026’s increased tick concerns, Evelyn’s high household tick encounters, and a wood tick that tested positive for Powassan virus. She describes common clinic presentations (fatigue, cardiac abnormalities, cognitive issues), challenges with testing, and the importance of foundations like sleep, nutrition, stress, and light exposure. Prevention strategies include tick checks, avoiding tall grass, permethrin-treated clothing, proper tweezers removal, and optional tick testing. Treatment may involve antibiotics, herbals, homeopathics, peptides, HDC helminthic therapy, ozone/IV therapies, and intravenous light therapy, with many patients improving over time.

Host Sarah Kleiner introduces a conversation with 20-year-old college student Jonathan Jurecki about why aligning light exposure with the sun can dramatically improve energy, mood, sleep, and daily performance. Jonathan shares his holistic upbringing and how he became immersed in sunlight and circadian research, then explains key concepts such as sunrise light contrast, intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, the suprachiasmatic nucleus, cortisol and melatonin rhythms, and the role of red/near-infrared light in mitochondrial function and oxidative stress (including subcellular melatonin). They discuss why artificial light at night and late-night screens disrupt circadian alignment, practical strategies like controlling evening lighting, blue blockers and hats, and why sleep timing and consistency matter. Jonathan also describes influencing peers to view sunrise, his plans for science communication and research, and efforts to bridge allopathic and naturopathic medicine
