We finish our Q&A series for the time being. In this episode we spend the first 25 minutes on Joe’s questions about food allergies and sensitivities with a bit of focus on children. Then Timothy asks how to address a short temper and I think you'll have your mind greatly opened to new possibilities in addressing behavioral issues overall. Last Jennifer asked about epigenetics and how to rewrite her diabetes and metabolism. She said, "I'm several years older than my family members were when they had their first heart attacks, strokes, and cancer surgeries and I'd like to add more years to that." Powerful topics you’ll gain much from.

We continue on with our Q&A series and here is the list of what we covered, Ted asks how to maintain muscle tone after 65. Beth feels most successful people have coaches and asks how to find them? Wayne wants to know about testing options like food allergies. Mark shares about finding a functional medicine provider in his area. Don asks how to kick chronic ear infections. Again, there should be a topic or three that is highly relevant to you or someone you love.

We continue on with listener Q&A because there is no better information we can offer than exactly what you ask for. We cover a question on exercise balance and whether we should always go all out and suffer like David Goggins! Then what about losing momentum in your progress, as we all do. Similarly a question on really having faith in achieving what you set out to do. Very specific questions were then asked regarding how to stop nervous eating and we end with how to kick the sugar habit! All great issues and we cover valuable ground.

Audit answers Dr James would give patients on issues such as hormones, nutrition, and screen time. I posted this question to True Life listeners,

“If you could get insight and help into an area of your personal health and wellness, where would it be? What would you ask?” We got incredible responses that sparked such valuable discussions between Randy and I. So good we just decided to go deep with our responses and continue addressing more questions in our next episode.

We tend to think of our brain as a static tool we use for our life, not as a muscle we can grow and increase the capacity and ability of. This is the focus of our episode. We talk about increasing the power of our brains, something we can all do. But we also address behavioral problems like ADHD, cognitive decline like dementia and alzheimers, and even traumatic brain injury. The first part of the show is relevant for us all, then we get into those pathologies. Pathologies that are primarily treated symptomatically with the perception that wherever the brain is, is where it will remain and the best we can do is use pharmaceuticals to manage the issues. We have far better news and testimonial to the true possibilities.

Food. Dieting. Exercise. When you read or hear those words, what feelings arise? Excitement or dread? Pride or shame? Guilt? We find so many people desiring to improve their health, get fit, and lose weight, but there are often negative feelings that sabotage their efforts. This show is about being aware and getting them on the table, so to speak. Not to eradicate them however. As you’ll hear in the show, often these feelings have roots back in childhood and they run deep. Maybe you can truly overcome and erase them. But we believe more immediate overcoming can be had by figuring out how to manage the negative feelings and move beyond them even as they still exist. Thus awareness and management is our primary objective. As Functional Medicine is a root issue methodology, this topic is foundational to your journey to...wellerness.

This is more than a mere show on stress, it’s the encapsulation of an entire book Randy and I intend to write together. Stress is not bad, as you may have heard us mention before, it’s our negative response to stress which is the main issue, and as you’ll hear in this show, our tendency to just live continuously in bad stress. An equal truth is we are all in great need of more stress, though admittedly, the healthy kind. This topic focus is never more needed than in today’s increasingly stressed out and anxious world and I believe you’ll find some clarity and revelation on how to view and deal with your own good and bad stress.

Important: If pregnancy is not a current area of interest for you, please consider passing this onto anyone you know who is trying to get or stay pregnant! We began on the show talking about infertility but getting pregnant is step one, then just as important of course is staying pregnant and avoiding miscarriage and premature birth. Nearly 20% of couples are not able to conceive and another 10-20% miscarry. Then about 10% have premature births. Folks, that’s nearly 50% of all couples who will experience significant difficulty ending up with a full term, healthy baby. This show is paramount regarding pregnancy. As you’ll hear we stumble into an issue that astounds Kevin, regarding what causes our bodies to say “No!” to getting and staying pregnant. This is news you won’t hear regarding the subject.
