A lot of our clients have gone through some sort of brain-retraining, NLP, positive thinking, living the vida affirmation lifestyle... but still struggle with their physical reality of exhaustion and brain fog.

Sure, you can feel that brighter days are ahead... but how many more groundhog days are you willing to go through with thoughts of "I hope tomorrow is going to be better" at night?

You don't deserve a life filled with positive thinking and a negative reality.

You can have both.

You can have a normal, productive life where life outside of work exists!

And, it doesn't require multiple sessions a day or endless meditation.

Let's demystify what's going on in your brain and body. Watch this episode to learn more!

🍞 How much gluten should you cut out?

🌱 Going vegan... good? Bad? How can you make what you eat less important?

🍕 Snacks? How many?

💊 What about mega-dosing vitamin B5?

🌴 How fast will this go away with relaxing/ destressing?

🐮 Adrenal Extracts... what do you need to know?

Functional Medicine is fantastic if you're struggling with exhaustion and brain fog

It's fantastic at giving you hope of new root causes of why you're struggling.

So, when you have a doctor who mentions diet and is open to getting new labs...

there's a sigh of relief and excitement 🤩

12 vials of blood 🩸, 50 pages of lab results 📰, and 8 new supplements later 💊

The excitement of the Functional Medicine honeymoon dies down.

Maybe you got 10% better... or you're still STUCK despite all the extra effort and money 😤

That's why the frustration and doubt builds every time you find yourself back in the Functional Medicine clinic.

Not just because you're not getting your results...

But also because life is passing you by as you're dragging through the days and living life laying down.

That's why I want to save you from the Functional Medicine guesswork and show you what really works. Join me live for "Why You Don't Need to be a Functional Medicine Lab Rat"

Nothing is more important in giving you clarity and the right perspective.  

That's why we want to answer your questions!  

In this episode, Dr. Dylan Petkus reviews your questions: 

- Hashimotos 

- Electrolyte problems while on a keto diet 

- What's going on with your blood pressure, heart rate, and low oxygen saturation 

- Crashes 

- Why doctors think you're complex... and we KNOW it's simpler 

Whenever I start working with clients, one of the big issues we have to first navigate is brain fog.

Brain fog is bad enough in everyday life:

Losing your train of thought every third sentence you’re speaking

Having to read the same email 1… 2… 3…. And 4 times to finally comprehend it

Or, even just being in such a spaced-out feeling that you can’t even interact with someone right in front of you.

Brain fog sucks.

It makes you feel dumb. It is frustrating as all heck and even depressing on why you can’t do the most basic of activities.

And, frankly, it can be worrisome because you’re thinking “what the heck is going on???” as the doctors don’t give any advice beyond “maybe you should watch your stress levels and drink more water”

Luckily, it doesn’t have to be this way.

When you understand what’s really going on with brain fog and avoid the big mistakes in addressing brain fog, that’s when you can get back to laser-like focus as you blast through tasks and get back into having FUN in your life!

Coffee should only go in one body orifice, butt that's not always what happens.

So, let's answer the questions you've been assking about coffee enemas.

They seem to get to the bottom of many health issues: liver detox, colon cleansing, bacteria killing, anti-inflammation, etc...

But, is it all a load of crap?

Or, is it a great way to leave all your health woes behind you?

Don't worry...

I'm not just going to bash coffee enemas, that'd be too assymetrical

(Ok... I'll stop being cheeky 😁)

We're not going to make any mistakes on the concrete details; and if you miss something, that's your asphalt.

You're going to see how your body is a piece of art, a real Picasso

And, you'll be on a new planet (perhaps Uranus?) of understanding on how to optimize your energy levels.

This episode is going to be a killer, a real assassin.

We're going to see the cracks in the theories and you will say we "wrecked 'em"

So join me for "Don't Think About Coffee Enemas Until You Listen to This"

(P.S. I make no apologies for all the puns... if it was painful... here's an asspirin 💊)

Adrenal Fatigue is one of the most common labels/ conditions people will come to us for.

Out of the slew of “solutions” these folks have tried, “adrenal cocktails” (or whatever you want to call a sugary, salty, “health” drink, is one of the most dubious half-solutions.

Sure, it sounds great on paper:

Some orange or grapefruit juice to bump up your blood sugar levels

Some sodium and potassium to replenish your electrolytes

And, some bicarbonate (from baking soda or cream of tartar) to reduce the acidity of your body…

No doubt, it works in the short term…

But, what is it doing to you in the long term?

Why do you even need it in the first place?

What’s a better way to address the underlying issues?

Hear this episode to learn the answers to these questions and more!

When hanging out with folks... I am often screaming internally about what I hear about health.

One of my recent favorites were some folks chatting about their alternative doctor's genetic testing

(Oh here we go 🤣)

"I have to avoid saturated fats and cholesterol..."

"Oh I have to avoid carbs and take these supplements..."

😤

Genetics are not straightforward as your alternative docs are telling you.

They see some data spit out suggestions that have you piling on the supplements and restricting your diet further.

Is that data really relevant?

Are genetics even important?

Are these rhetorical questions leading?

I'll let you be the judge.

Join me in this episode on genetics and what you need to focus on instead.

Not a day goes by without speaking to someone who thinks they have adrenal fatigue whether from their own research or from working with others practitioners.

In fact, this is the “label” I thought I had way back when I was dealing with my own issues.

But, here’s the thing… if so many people think they’re suffering from adrenal fatigue or their functional or integrative practitioners…

… then why do so many people suffer from “adrenal fatigue” for so dang long?

It’s not rocket science 🚀

It should be way simpler.

Let’s demystify adrenal fatigue and get you on the road to feeling awesome, kicking butt, and living life.

So, join me in this episode to begin the journey of overcoming your adrenal fatigue for once and for all!
