Well Balanced 360

Overview

Dr. Amber Krogsrud’s peptide research was born from her own health struggles. Like many of her patients, Amber went through a long period of misdiagnosis (and lack of diagnosis), before she discovered the culprit of her gut sensitivity, lethargy, and other symptoms: she had candida overgrowth in her gut. Her treatment? Peptides. In this episode, host Dr. Shivani talks with Amber about these chains of amino acids, the building blocks of protein, which signal our bodies to have specific responses -- like improving sleep, building up certain kinds of tissues, and balancing our immune systems. 

After her own incredible experience with peptides, Amber got trained in peptide therapy. She has seen peptides change the lives of patients with chronic illness, auto-immune conditions, chronic pain, and more. But peptides can also be used to optimize the body, improving energy, sleep quality, and helping us build muscle. 

In the COVID-era, as we all search for ways to improve our immune response, reduce stress, and get deeper, more restful sleep, peptides offer a unique solution that can be customized for individual patient concerns. Check out this episode of the Well Balanced 360 podcast to learn more about peptides, and what they can do for you!

Quotes

• “If we want to age well, if we want to feel well, if we want our brain to be sharp during the day, we need to focus on the night time… and a lot of peptides are taken at night so we can really maximize that window of time where your body is in repair mode.”

“Along the way you just start to hold paradox,” says Dr. Siri Chand Khalsa. As a skilled ayurvedic practitioner with a deep knowledge of many facets of both eastern and western healing, Dr. Siri has learned how to hold all modalities at once to find the best tools for what she calls “vitality medicine” -- medicine that builds up your health. 

In this episode of the Well Balanced 360 podcast, Dr. Siri talks with Dr. Shivani about ayurveda, it’s origins, and how she embraced these tools on her own life-long healing journey in the wake of a horrific bike accident when she was a child. Dr. Shivani and Dr. Siri also talk about the future of medicine, the value of the time we spend with each other as doctors and patients, and the “deep knowledge” of centuries of healing and observation of the body. 

Touching on kundalini yoga, the gut microbiome, and so much more, this episode will take you into the power of ancient medicines to heal and care for our bodies. 

Quotes

• “Transformation often needs a container.” (31:20-31:23)
• “Women have classically been healers, we carry a divine connection to healing energy naturally.” (38:09-38:15)

It’s been almost a year since Covid began, and we are all feeling exhausted. In fact, 33% more of us reported feelings of burnout and fatigue in the last year. In this episode of the Wellness 360 podcast, Dr. Shivani talks with Dr. Amy Shah about her new book: I'm So Effing Tired: A Proven Plan to Beat Burnout, Boost Your Energy and Reclaim Your Life. This book is all about reclaiming energy, and it’s not a crash diet or crazy exercise plan. At its root, it’s all about the sun. 

Circadian fasting is about revolving your day around sun cycles. The three basic tenets are: 1) Get direct sunlight on your body in the morning, 2) Stop eating 2-3 hours before bed, and 3) Avoid blue light 2-3 hours before bed. It’s like the more popular intermittent fasting, but better - you can still eat three meals a day, and the focus is on aligning your body with the world around you. 

Dr. Amy Shah shares a wealth of information about getting your energy back, and all her steps are simple, easy to implement, and focused on the natural cadence of our bodies. Tune in to this episode for a doctor’s perspective on sleep, hormonal and immune balance, and reconnecting with the natural world.  

Quotes

• “Think of it like a triangle. So the brain is in the middle of that triangle, and gut health is one one side, immune health is on one side, and hormone health is on one side. This is the energy trifecta. If any of these sides are damaged or not doing well, your brain will suffer and you’ll feel tired.” (8:01-8:25)
• “I spend a few minutes in the morning and a few minutes in the evening out of my to-do list.” (20:51-21:00)
