In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston sits down with Dr. Stephanie Byerly—an anesthesiologist, TedX speaker, and certified life and leadership coach—for a profound and eye-opening conversation about the hidden epidemics affecting women's health: unprocessed trauma, emotional numbness, and the exhausting treadmill of the "achiever identity."

The Better Life with Dr. Pinkston | Guest: Dr. Jody Carrington

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston sits down with renowned psychologist, speaker, and best-selling author Dr. Jody Carrington to tackle the epidemic of emotional burnout, isolation, and stress in today’s rapid-fire, high-tech world. Together, they explore what it means to be fundamentally "human" in an era dominated by screens and automation, offering real, actionable wisdom on how to heal ourselves from the inside out.

Key Takeaways from the Discussion

  • The Two Rules of Humanity: Dr. Carrington breaks down our neurobiological wiring. We are built for authentic connection, yet looking each other in the eye remains one of the hardest things we do.
  • The Dysregulated Body: We live with unprecedented noise. Constant notifications act as "cortisol shooters," locking our jaws and raising our shoulders in a primitive "fight or flight" response—even when we are perfectly safe.
  • The "In and Out" Strategy: True self-care isn't just about bubble baths or kale smoothies; it's about regulating your nervous system. Dr. Carrington outlines her rhythm of "Go In, Go Out, Relentless Repeat."
  • The Power of Small Actions: Healing a disconnected world doesn't require starting a massive non-profit overnight. It starts with small, intentional acts of acknowledgment—like waving at your neighbors or making intentional eye contact.
  • Caring for the Helpers: A poignant look at how modern infrastructure fails to support our educators, medical professionals, and first responders, leading to a profound loneliness and mental health crisis among caretakers.

"We are all just here walking each other home." — Ram Dass (Shared by Dr. Jody Carrington)

Together, they pull back the curtain on a topic often kept "under the table": sexual health and somatic intimacy.

Dr. Tina challenges the conventional Western medical model by introducing the concept of Erotic Blueprints. She explains why many women feel like a "head on a stick"—disconnected from their bodies due to stress, hyper-vigilance, and societal pressures. This conversation shifts the focus from simple libido to a deeper understanding of our "sensation systems," exploring how safety, breathwork, and energy flow are the true foundations of pleasure.

  • The Five Erotic Archetypes: A breakdown of the Energetic, Sensual, Sexual, Kinky, and Shapeshifter blueprints and how they dictate how we experience pleasure.

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston sits down with renowned philosopher and author Thomas Attig to tackle one of life’s most difficult and avoided subjects: death and grieving.

Moving beyond the common "five stages" model, Thomas shares his unique existential approach to loss. He explains that grieving isn't just a reaction that washes over us—it is an active response where we must reconstruct our daily lives and redirect our personal histories. Dr. Pinkston and Thomas explore the concept of "dancing with the mysteries," encouraging listeners to embrace their fragile humanity—including vulnerability and impermanence—rather than fighting against it.

Key topics discussed include:

  • Why contemporary medicine often fails to address the deep emotional work of grieving.
  • The difference between Everyday Problems (managed by the ego) and Mysteries (responded to by the soul).
  • How to find "wise people" in your own life who can listen without judgment.
  • Practical insights from Thomas's books, Seeking Wisdom in Death’s Shadow and Catching Your Breath in Grief.

Understanding the Active Process of Grief

Thomas Attig emphasizes that grieving is a dual experience involving both passive suffering and active engagement.

FeatureGrief as Reaction (Passive)Grief as Response (Active)ExperienceFeelings of sadness and distress "washing over" you.Re-learning how to live in a world that has changed.ActionCrying, screaming, or waiting for time to heal the wound.Reshaping daily routines and finding new meaning.FocusThe emotional "hit" of the loss.The intentional effort to put a life back together.Export to SheetsThe Four Constants of Fragile Humanity

Dr. Pinkston and Thomas discuss four essential truths that humans often try to deny, which can lead to chronic unhappiness. To live with integrity, we must accept that we are:

  1. Small and Insignificant in the grand scale of the universe.
  2. Susceptible to Suffering and physical pain.
  3. Living in Uncertainty without all the answers.
  4. Impermanent and susceptible to dying.

This episode features Dr. Pinkston and Paul Herchman, Co-Executive Founder of Get Hair MD, discussing a holistic and evidence-based approach to hair loss. They highlight the widespread issue of hair loss in both men and women, exacerbated by factors like stress and rapid weight loss (including GLP-1s).

Key Takeaways from Get Hair MD's Approach:

  • Multifactorial Treatment: Hair loss is complex, requiring a comprehensive approach.
  • Personalized Diagnosis: The process begins with an AI-driven photo documentation system to identify viable hairs, followed by a cheek swab for genetic analysis. This determines which topical products (like Minoxidil) a patient can effectively metabolize, avoiding wasted time and money.
  • Treatment Modalities:

    • Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): A Class II device used to quickly stop hair loss and is often done in-office a couple of times a month initially.
    • HairCell Technology: A new, exciting technology that uses electrical stimulation to signal cells to emit beneficial proteins like Clotho (longevity protein) and COAL17A (hair longevity protein) to condition the atrophic scalp.
    • Topical & Oral Supplements: Customized topical sprays from compounding pharmacies, plus validated vitamins and specialized shampoos.
    • Regenerative Products: Physicians may use extracellular matrix/regenerative products like exosomes, often applied using needle-free technology for comfort.
    • Sustained Home Care: Patented dual-wavelength caps are used at home to maintain results and protect the investment. They also offer a protective, fashionable baseball cap that filters sun to SPF 50 while converting sun rays to a therapeutic wavelength.
    • Early Intervention is Key: The most important message is to act early. Once a hair follicle dies, it cannot be reversed. Don't waste time and money on unproven methods.

This episode of The Better Life with Dr Pinkston features Dr Pinkston and Ray Solano from PD Labs, focusing on how to navigate and survive the holidays—dubbed the "Super Bowl of Sugar" (Halloween to Valentine's Day)—without derailing your health goals.

The discussion centers on research challenging restrictive dieting, suggesting that unrestricted eating of nutritious food, layered with non-digestible fiber (nuts, seeds, berries) to slow sugar absorption, can offer similar benefits to fasting without the negative effects.

Key Takeaways:

  • Mindful Holiday Strategy: The holidays are a time for balance and not gaining weight, rather than focusing intensely on losing it.
  • The Problem with Restriction: Restrictive diets (like extreme keto or carnivore) can backfire psychologically and physically. Research suggests high protein without proper carbohydrates can negatively affect longevity.
  • The "Eat Human" Approach: Focus on a common-sense approach: avoid processed foods, know your intolerances, and aim for a balance of protein, fat, and carbs (suggested ratio: 40% protein, 30% fat, 30% carb) in every meal.
  • Breakfast is Key: Start the day with high protein (40 grams) to stabilize blood sugars, reducing cravings later. Avoid traditional high-carb breakfasts like instant oatmeal.
  • Stay Hydrated & Stress-Free: Managing stress with simple supplements like Magnesium Glycinate and Theanine (or cortisol managers like Triquillata) is crucial, as stress often leads to poor eating choices.
  • Next-Generation Health: Ray Solano introduces PD Labs' work on peptides (like the GLP-1 incretins) and their innovative two-year project to make these high-molecular-weight molecules available transdermally (non-injectable) by Christmas, transforming chronic disease prevention.

The conversation emphasizes starting your health recovery journey now, not waiting for a "magical time" in January.

Join Dr. Pinkston and her esteemed guest, pharmacist and expert on anti-aging and metabolic health, Jim LaValle, as they dive into the science and benefits of Red Light Therapy, also known as photobiomodulation. They discuss how this non-invasive therapy works by utilizing specific wavelengths of light—ideally in the mid-600s and mid-800s—to stimulate collagen synthesis (for improved skin and anti-aging), boost nitric oxide production (for better circulation), and enhance ATP production (for increased cellular energy and mitochondrial health).

LaValle explains how the different wavelengths penetrate tissues, with the shorter waves targeting the skin and the longer, near-infrared waves (800s) penetrating deeper to help with inflammation, muscle soreness, and overall cellular repair. The discussion also covers:

  • Optimal usage (timing and frequency) and best forms (whole-body beds/blankets vs. panels/masks).
  • Potential benefits for conditions like fibromyalgia, post-exercise recovery, and skin issues like psoriasis.
  • Crucial supplements to combine with red light therapy for maximized benefits, including NAD+ boosters (like Nicotinamide Riboside), CoQ10, Magnesium, collagen peptides (with Vitamin C), and Methylene Blue (USP grade).
  • Important warnings, especially regarding photosensitizing medications and pre-existing conditions.
  • New diagnostic tests, like the MeeScreen, for assessing mitochondrial health.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:

  • The Two-Minute Low Back Pain Exercise: Dr. Bertrand details her personal 39-year battle with back pain and how she discovered a simple, two-minute technique to realign the sacroiliac (SI) joints in the pelvis, offering a 90% success rate for immediate relief. She even demonstrates how to self-check for SI joint displacement.
  • Prolotherapy for Ligament Pain: Discover how a few simple injections of "sugar water" (dextrose/mannitol) can stimulate healing in loose ligaments, like those that stabilize the SI joints, ending chronic pain where traditional methods fail.
  • A Breakthrough Pain Cream: Dr. Bertrand explains the science behind her innovative cream, which uses mannitol to block pain messages at the nerve level. Hear the compelling research that shows this cream provides a 53% average pain relief, significantly outperforming common over-the-counter and prescription medications.
  • Practical Tools for Support: Learn about using a pelvic support belt and a donut cushion to maintain pelvic alignment and prevent pain flare-ups.

Connect with Dr. Bertrand:

  • Her book: Low Back Pain: Three Steps to Relief in Two Minutes (available on Amazon).
  • Her website for webinars and courses: no-pain.ca

They discuss how an integrative approach, combining functional medicine principles with modern therapeutics, can address the root causes of mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and ADHD.

Chapters

0:00 - 4:14: Introduction and the Problem with Conventional Solutions. Dr. Pinkston introduces Ray Solano and the topic of neurological problems.

4:14 - 8:40: The Gut-Brain Connection and Inflammatory Foods. Ray and Dr. Pinkston explain the direct link between gut health and brain function, highlighting how neurotransmitters are made in the GI tract. They emphasize that inflammatory foods like gluten, processed items, and alcohol can significantly impact mental health.

8:40 - 13:28: The Role of Genetics and Foundational Treatments. The discussion shifts to the role of genetic predispositions (SNPs) and how lifestyle and diet can either turn these genes on or off. They introduce the importance of a holistic approach, viewing health as a puzzle with multiple pieces, including nutrition, exercise, sleep, and gut health.

13:28 - 19:38: Nutraceuticals and Hormonal Support. Dr. Pinkston and Ray detail natural, accessible remedies. Ray highlights L-theanine for its calming effects and introduces oxytocin, explaining its role in social bonding and mood elevation. They discuss its use as a compounded treatment for conditions like OCD and autism.

19:38 - 25:22: The Power of Compounded Pharmaceuticals. The focus returns to specific, targeted solutions. Ray explains BH4 (tetrahydrobiopterin), a pharmaceutical used to treat a specific genetic deficiency that impacts serotonin and dopamine production. They also discuss the compounding of natural thyroid medication and the importance of personalized medicine.

25:22 - 30:40: Progesterone and Metabolic Dysfunction. The conversation broadens to include hormonal balance, with Dr. Pinkston highlighting progesterone's role in sleep and anxiety.

34:25 - 39:05: Conclusion and Final Thoughts. Dr. Pinkston and Ray encourage listeners to seek professional support for their health issues. They emphasize the value of telehealth and the growing field of longevity medicine, which aims to fix underlying problems rather than just treating symptoms.
