In today's episode with Caroline O’Connor, you’ll hear us take a deep dive on:
-
Macronutrients: comprising proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, macronutrients are fundamental food groups essential for creating balanced meals, not just for bodybuilders or fitness enthusiasts, but often misunderstood or overlooked in healthy eating discussions.
-
Balanced eating: It’s all about comfortably navigating the gray area between strict rules and indulgence, such as opting for a combination of favored carbs and vegetables for a satisfying, balanced plate, rather than strictly adhering to low-carb or low-fat options, which should be viewed as tools for balance rather than a lifestyle.
-
Micronutrients: Micronutrients, comprising minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, etc., indicate the non-caloric benefits food provides to our bodies, beyond energy and satiety.
-
The importance of personalized nutrition plans. There is no one-size-fits-all diet. When making dietary changes and recommendations, it is so important to fill in all the blanks on a person’s lifestyle, health conditions, measurements, and their existing diet before even considering what needs changing.

Caroline O’Connor is a Registered Dietitian and Personal Trainer who helps clients develop habits to support a healthy, sustainable lifestyle.
In today's episode with Caroline O’Connor, you’ll hear us take a deep dive on:
-
Macronutrients: comprising proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, macronutrients are fundamental food groups essential for creating balanced meals, not just for bodybuilders or fitness enthusiasts, but often misunderstood or overlooked in healthy eating discussions.
-
Balanced eating: It’s all about comfortably navigating the gray area between strict rules and indulgence, such as opting for a combination of favored carbs and vegetables for a satisfying, balanced plate, rather than strictly adhering to low-carb or low-fat options, which should be viewed as tools for balance rather than a lifestyle.
-
Micronutrients: Micronutrients, comprising minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, etc., indicate the non-caloric benefits food provides to our bodies, beyond energy and satiety.
-
The importance of personalized nutrition plans. There is no one-size-fits-all diet. When making dietary changes and recommendations, it is so important to fill in all the blanks on a person’s lifestyle, health conditions, measurements, and their existing diet before even considering what needs changing.

Dr. Dicken Weatherby is the Founder and CEO of OptimalDX. He has authored six books on functional diagnostics and has lectured to thousands of doctors, teaching techniques to analyze blood test results from a functional, nutritional, and preventive perspective.
In today's episode with Dr. Dicken Weatherby, we discuss:
- What Does the Complete Blood Count Measure?
The CBC, or the complete blood count, evaluates overall health and can detect various disorders like infections, anemia, or leukemia. CBC measures the red blood cells, the white blood cells, and the ratio between the main cell types, like neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, and much more.
- What Does a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel Test for?
CMP, or the comprehensive metabolic panel, is a blood test that gives doctors information about which body areas are potentially out of balance. CMP measures glucose, calcium, protein, and electrolytes like potassium, CO2, chloride, sodium, and others.
- Extra Blood Tests
When looking at other blood tests, doctors and practitioners have to understand what they want to learn and know more about. For example, if you suspect blood sugar regulation issues, you need fasting insulin, C-peptide, and hemoglobin A1C. Dr. Weatherby recommends the thyroid panel.
- Dr. Weatherby’s Advice
Get your blood tested and find a practitioner to help you with interpretation. Find something that can help you manage stress and pay attention to your diet.

Quote:
“One of the things that strikes me about Western medicine and Western medical science is that they've designed these tests to be as obscure as possible. They are packed with information but zero meaning. So, I like to educate the practitioners that work with me to do their best to educate their patients to understand to the best of their ability what these things are.”

In this episode, Dr. Richard Burt shares his insights on hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) for autoimmune disorders.
For thirty-five years, Dr. Burt dedicated himself to advancing stem cell and cellular therapy, beginning with animal models and, later, some of the world's first clinical trials. He authored over 145 articles, mostly as the first author, and edited four medical textbooks. As the first Autoimmune Committee Chairperson for the International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry (IBMTR), he led the way in developing stem cell clinical trials for autoimmune diseases, securing a National Institute of Health (NIH) $10,000,000 multi-center contract.
Dr. Burt performed America's first hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) for multiple sclerosis (MS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Crohn's disease (CD), stiff person syndrome (SPS), and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). He also published the world's first randomized clinical stem cell transplantation trials for systemic sclerosis and multiple sclerosis.
Dr. Burt's pioneering stem cell work earned him recognition as one of the top 50 people in the world for improving humanity by Scientific American in 2006, along with A1 Gore and Steve Jobs. In 2011, Science Illustrated recognized his stem cell work as one of the top 10 advances of the decade.

The Root Cause Medicine Podcast is created by Rupa Health, the best way to order, track & get results from 30+ lab companies in one place.In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones is joined by Jenn Pike, A Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist, Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Certified Yoga and Pilates Instructor, and Medical Exercise Specialist. They discuss top insights and hacks for shedding the limiting beliefs that lead to burnout and hold you back from achieving your potential. The first step to success is learning to take care of yourself.Key Takeaways from this episode:1. You can’t be constantly burned out and still create the life and business you want.Start by recognizing the signs of burnout and recognize that you’re here because you are not in alignment with who you are at your core. Before you can start making changes, you will need to peel away all your hard-wired and self-limiting beliefs one layer at a time. 2. The notion that our worth is defined by our accomplishments is a self-limiting belief.We are hard-wired from a young age that our value and worth stem from our achievements; the best grades, the most wins, and trying the hardest and doing things others won’t because they are hard. We then evolve into adults who are working harder and trying to produce more. Soon you have a reputation to live up to, even though we’re starting to crumble inside, but we can’t let anyone see that. 3. The smallest things we do can drive the biggest changes.Start by identifying the one thing you do daily that fulfills you and makes you happy. Look within and try to figure out why you have designed your life the way it is, where you have no time to achieve what you want and no rest and recharge time. Are things the way they are because you have an issue with saying “no”?4. Jenn Pike’s three tips for audaciousness.We are hard-wired with self-limiting beliefs; identify these beliefs and anchor yourself to the woman you are at your core. Next, cultivate a daily routine that lets you tap into moments of joy and self-nurturing. Lastly, take time to look at your schedule and regularly scrub out things you can say no to. Jenn Pike is a Functional Diagnostic Nutritionist, Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Certified Yoga and Pilates Instructor, and a Medical Exercise Specialist. Jenn is a multitasking achiever who believes that being audacious can cut out the hard-wired self-limiting beliefs we all carry and lead us to simplicity and ease in all that we do. She is the founder of the Simplicity Project, and you can catch her on her YouTube channel, Simplicity TV, or on her weekly podcast of, The Simplicity Sessions.

In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones is joined by Dr. James LaValle, Author, Board-Certified Clinical Nutritionist, and Educator. They discuss food intolerances, food allergies, and gut health.
Key Takeaways from this episode:
-
Food Issues Symptoms: Food is the most significant thing that drives your health. Besides the obvious signs of food conditions, there are symptoms like anxiety, mood disorders, weight gain, joint and muscle discomfort, cardiovascular disease, cognitive function issues, and fatigue.
-
Food Allergy Versus Food Sensitivity: An allergy represents a hypersensitivity reaction that could be life-threatening. When you get an allergic reaction, your airways shut down, you wheeze, get hives, and have itchy skin. Food sensitivity takes longer before it manifests, you may not even see the reaction to the food for up to seventy-two hours after you have eaten it. A sensitivity reaction will not be as dramatic, but initial signs of issues include reactions in your gut, immune system, and other parts of your body.
-
How Food Affects Your Intestines. Your intestine has a lining of epithelial cells which are only one cell layer deep. In between these cells, there is something called tight junctions, which are responsible for absorption. Any food can change the epithelial cells of your intestines and disrupt tight junctions. As a result, you either start getting bacteria that get into the circulation and create an immune system response, or the foods aren't getting broken down. So when your gut barrier loses its integrity, you start to react to certain foods.

In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones is joined by Dr. Marc Sklar, a Fertility Expert and Founding Principal of the Reproductive Wellness Clinic. They discuss natural fertility, sperm health, egg freezing, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), and more.
Key Takeaways from this episode:
-
Fertility and Family Planning: We think that we can get pregnant effortlessly. But in terms of animals that reproduce, we are not the most efficient at it. At our best, when we're in our late teens or early twenties, we have at most a twenty-five to thirty percent chance of conception every cycle. In terms of age, the general guideline is to get pregnant under thirty-five before you should seek additional support and attention. But if you need that support or have a history of some issues, don't wait for those markers. Get help sooner rather than later.
-
What Is HSG? Hysterosalpingography, or HSG, is a radiologic procedure to investigate whether the Fallopian tubes are open, which is significant because that's where the egg and sperm meet. One of the benefits of an HSG is that if something minor is blocking the Fallopian tubes, often that procedure opens and clears the path. But if there is a profound blockage, changes are not that big because usually, it only opens temporarily.
-
Polyps and Fibroids Affect Fertility: Fibroids depend on multiple factors, like size and location. They don't significantly impact fertility unless they are extremely large and located, so it will hinder implantation. Polyps are basically like little skin tags inside the uterus. So even though they are small, they may be an issue depending on their location because if they are in a spot where implantation would happen.
-
PCOS and Pregnancy: PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) represents one of the most common causes of female infertility. However, Dr. Sklar believes that 90% of all PCOS patients can and should get pregnant naturally. But many of them have been mismanaged and moved into IVF unnecessarily. So much of this can be supported, managed, and addressed without ignoring the patient and pushing them toward IVF. By taking ownership of it, making changes, and getting a good plan, most PCOS patients get pregnant naturally.
Dr. Marc Sklar is a fertility expert that helps couples all over the world get pregnant with his online fertility program. Also known as The Fertility Expert, he has been doing this for over twenty years and helping thousands of couples. Dr. Marc Sklar also has two functional medicine clinics in San Diego, California, where he sees over 100+ patients per week with the help of his team of four other fertility experts.

In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones is joined by Craig Strasnick, President and CEO of Commonwealth Diagnostics International. They discuss small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, known as SIBO, and intestinal methanogen overgrowth, known as IMO, and how the diagnostic side of GI disturbances provides important data that helps guide research and the development of therapies to help patients find relief.
Key Takeaways:
What Is SIBO? Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth plays an enormous role in the categorization and diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome patients. Irritable bowel syndrome is the world's most common gastrointestinal disorder, which includes symptoms like diarrhea, constipation, bloating, nausea, abdominal pain, or dyspepsia. It is estimated that greater than 84% of total IBS patients suffer from SIBO, which represents an excess of bacteria in the small intestine.
What Is IMO? Intestinal Methane Overgrowth represents an overgrowth of methane-producing archaea in the small and large intestines. Methane has always been an important component of the breath testing protocol to quantify GI disturbances or SIBO. The distinction between methane and hydrogen is how each trace gas correlates to the symptom set of each individual patient case. Hydrogen is associated with faster motility and diarrhea, whereas methane has been most closely correlated to abdominal distension, bloating, and constipation.
Treatment Options for GI Disturbances. There are a host of various therapeutic interventions, dietary modifications, or interventions like the FODMAP or specific carbohydrate diet, which rely on low fermentable and sugar foods, and probiotics and prebiotics.
As the President and CEO of CDI, Craig collaborates with international academics and industry leaders to improve current gastroenterological practices. He graduated from Northeastern University with a degree in Business Administration and founded CDI in 2015 after securing the acquisition of Commonwealth Laboratories. In 2021, Forbes named Craig Strasnick and Commonwealth Diagnostics International to the Forbes Next 1000. Craig is also a Board Member of Functional Gut Diagnostics, GI Logic, and My Total Health.

In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones is joined by Dr. Evan Hirsch, Founder of The EnergyMD. They discuss fatigue, ten categories to examine potential causes, and Dr. Evan's four-step process to improve it. Key Takeaways:
Fatigue Causes: There are thirty-three causes for fatigue, and every person should figure out which ones they have. These causes can be divided into deficiencies of hormones, vitamins, minerals, neurotransmitters, healthy lifestyle habits, and toxicities which cause about eighty percent of the deficiencies.
There's More Than One Cause Of Fatigue: Everybody who has low energy has a combination of twenty-plus causes, and part of this has to do with the fact that there are deficiencies. For example, if you have molds plus an infection, that can cause adrenals, thyroid, or mitochondrial deficiencies.
Examples Of Toxicities: A toxin is an environmental element that gets into your body and is not supposed to be there. These are things like heavy metals, chemicals, molds, infections, allergies, negative emotional patterns, and electromagnetic fields.
The Four-Step EnergyMD Method: The first step is to assess. Out of the thirty-three causes, seventy-five percent of those can be determined by symptoms, while twenty-five percent need lab testing. And you need to figure out which of those twenty-plus causes you have. The second step is replacing the deficiencies, the third is opening up the drainage pathways, and the fourth is removing the toxins.
COVID After Effects: COVID is a big fatigue contributor, which causes over 250 different symptoms at this point, and it's a reason why we're seeing so many young people get sick. If you've got COVID and have persistent symptoms that started with it, that means you have an active live virus and you need to ensure that you're addressing it. But what's interesting is the difference between somebody who ends up getting long covid and somebody who doesn't has to do a lot with the toxicities that they already have. So if you have heavy metals, chemicals, molds, and other infections, you're a lot more likely to end up with long covid.
Dr. Evan Hirsch is one of the world’s leading experts in finding the root causes of fatigue and resolving them naturally. He is the Founder of The EnergyMD, the best-selling author of Fix Your Fatigue, and the host of the EnergyMD Podcast. Dr. Hirsch suffered from low energy and fatigue for five years before he achieved resolution using the EnergyMD Program he developed in his medical practice.

In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones is joined by Dr. Nik Hedberg, Founder and CEO of Hedberg Institute. They discuss the latest research and practices treating patients with long COVID.
Key Takeaways:
What Is Long-Haul COVID? There are various hypotheses about what causes long-haul COVID and the different mechanisms. Researchers consider post-acute covid, up to twelve weeks, and long-haul beyond twelve weeks. But generally, they classify it by organ damage. So there could be a persistent viral antigen, ongoing inflammation, herpes virus reactivation, potential autoimmune mechanisms, or immune metabolic abnormalities.
Long COVID Signs and Symptoms: There are over sixty symptoms of long COVID, like fatigue, brain fog, pain syndromes, brain, cardiovascular, gut, sleep, and skin issues, and loss of muscle mass.
Long COVID Predispositions: Some patients have had a compromised immune system ongoing and were dealing with an autoimmune condition, chronic fatigue, or gut issues. Others tend to have high adverse childhood experiences scores. The higher the score, the higher the inflammatory cytokines. Loneliness and social isolation also increase the chances of getting long COVID.
Recovering From Long COVID: Though some people might fully recover from long COVID, recent studies suggest that they could still have compromised immune function, even after twelve months. Some hypotheses are that we will see increased cancer rates, ongoing issues later on, and an increased risk of getting other infections.
Dr. Nik Hedberg’s Practical Advice: The social aspect of getting well is vital, so spend time with friends, walk in nature, and be around people you like and care about. Fast can play a significant role, so figure out what works for you. Also, anything you can do to stimulate the vagus nerve will give you great results.
Dr. Nikolas Hedberg is the Founder and CEO of the Hedberg Institute and has been practicing functional medicine for twenty years. He authored The Complete Thyroid Health and Diet Guide, has written and published numerous functional medicine articles and has lectured at major universities and associations nationwide.

In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones is joined by Dr. Judson Brandeis, CEO, Founder, and Chief Physician of BrandeisMD and Lead Author of The 21st Century Man. They discuss testosterone, sexual function, and how to feel great as men age.
Key Takeaways:
Men-Related Issues: Men in their forties, fifties, sixties or even seventies could complain about issues like dysfunctional erections, low testosterone and libido, growing man boobs, sleeping problems, heart disease, and others.
The Pillars of Men's Health: Most men-related issues could be avoided by taking proper prevention measures, like avoiding smoking, drugs, alcohol, and overeating, constantly exercising and stretching, meditating, being nice to people, managing stress, and so on.
Stress and Sleep in Men’s Health: During sleep, your body recharges its testosterone levels. If you are not getting enough good-quality sleep, you negatively affect your testosterone levels and overall health. Stress is different as it produces stress hormones like cortisol, but it produces similar health issues as lack of sleep.
Improving Your Erectile Function: Besides relying on lifestyle habits like avoiding smoking, drugs, alcohol, and overeating, constantly exercising, meditating, managing stress, and getting good-quality sleep, you can improve your erectile function with Nitric Oxide, low-intensity shockwave therapy for stimulating the growth of new blood vessels in the penis, and medications like PT-141.

In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones is joined by Dr. Robert Hedaya, a Neuropsychiatrist, Clinical Professor, and Author. They discuss neuropsychiatric symptoms, brain health, brain inflammation, head trauma, and neurodegenerative conditions.
Key Takeaways:
Root causes of inflammation: Depression, anxiety, and inflammation seem to be growing in our society. Inflammation can be caused by stress, mold, chronic infection, poor diet, leaky gut, toxins, and others.
Traumatic Brain Injury and Psychological Processes: Traumatic Brain Injury or TBI in the mental health sphere is rampant. Most people think it might happen after a severe head injury with immediate causes. But even insignificant impacts on the head, like falling off your bike, can cause TBI. Moreover, though that accident happened in childhood, the effects could appear later in adulthood. So TBI could lead to dramatic and lifetime physical, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive changes.
HYLANE Technology: Dr. Robert Hedaya is a pioneer of the HYLANE technology, which includes using hyperbaric oxygen therapy, transcranial laser therapy, and neural exercise to help heal psychiatric and neurological conditions.

In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones is joined by Kathryn Cross, the Founder of Anja Health. They discuss placenta and cord blood banking for stem cell use later in life.
Key Takeaways:
What Is Cord Blood? Cord blood is the blood that remains in the placenta and in the attached umbilical cord. This blood is collected after childbirth because it contains stem cells, which can be used to treat various genetic disorders.
Why Should You Bank Stem Cells From the placenta? Stem cells help effectively treat lymphomas, solid tumors, inherited red cell abnormalities, leukemias, inherited metabolic disorders, and many other diseases.
How Does Anja Health Help People Save Stem Cells? First, you order one of Anja Health's collection kits, which will ship to your home. When the birth has begun, bring the kit to the hospital, and the medical team will collect stem cells. Then, Anja Health will pick up and store the stem cells at their AABB-accredited lab.
Building Anja Health was much more than just a startup idea. For Kathryn, it’s a life mission. Having experienced losing her brother Andrew, who could have been helped with his own cord blood stem cells if they had been saved at birth, she was aware of the promising future for this segment of the healthcare industry from a very young age. Kathryn's mission is to spread awareness on the use cases of umbilical cord blood, cord tissue, and placenta and how, by banking these at birth, parents can better prepare themselves for the future of their children.

In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones is joined by Esther Blum, an Integrative Dietitian, Bestselling Author, and Menopause Expert. They discuss Esther's top tricks and hacks for perimenopausal and menopausal women that she has seen work over her many years of experience.
Key Takeaways:
Why Aren't Women Taught About Perimenopause and Menopause? When researching for her book, See ya later, Ovulator, Esther saw many past flawed research on menopause. Many doctors still rely on these outdated and ineffective practices. But recent research shows that when it comes to menopause, hormone replenishment therapy is safe for the long term and helps prevent the onset of chronic degenerative diseases, like Alzheimer's, heart disease, and osteoporosis. Furthermore, the medical school curriculum is not up to date on women's health, which has historically had poor representation in research studies.
Perimenopause and Menopause Symptoms: The average age for menopause is 50 and menopause. Perimenopause usually starts in the forties. However, many women may have gone through it in their late twenties and thirties. Menopause is when you have gone twelve months consecutively without a period. The average age for menopause is fifty, and some symptoms include irregular sleep, anxiety, depression, changes in your thyroid function, food intolerances, or irritability.
What Should You Know About the Thyroid Panel? When doing a thyroid panel, ensure you test TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), reverse T3, T4, TPO (thyroid peroxidase antibody), and Tg antibodies.
Esther Blum’s Practical Advice: First and foremost, focus on your lifestyle, meditate, learn to manage your stress, and put your phone away at night. Secondly, start optimizing your protein intake. Thirdly, work with a good functional medicine practitioner.
Esther Blum is a dietician and high-performance coach, which has helped thousands of women lose weight, eliminate the need for medication, lose stubborn belly fat, and reverse chronic illness.

In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones is joined by Dr. Navaz Habib, Author, Educator, and Founder of Health Upgraded. They discuss the functions of your vagus nerve, the difference between your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, and vagus tone exercises that help stimulate your vagus nerve to manage and reduce stress.
Key Takeaways:
What Is the Autonomic Nervous System? The autonomic nervous system is essentially the brain's control of everything happening within our body that we don't consciously need to think about, like digestion or heartbeat. The autonomic nervous system is broken down into two parts. One is the sympathetic nervous system, known as the fight or flight system. And the other one is the parasympathetic nervous system, known as the rest, digest, and recovery system. Most of the parasympathetic nervous system is run through the vagus nerve.
What Is the Vagus Nerve? The vagus nerve splits into two distinctive nerves, one on each side of our body, and they come out from our brainstem. The vagus nerve controls involuntary or unconscious body functions such as digestion, recovery, heart rate, and the immune system.
Signs of Vagus Nerve Issues: The most significant sign of a vagus nerve problem is uncontrolled inflammation of any system or part of your body. That is because the system controlled through the vagus nerve, in addition to the parasympathetic, is called the colonic anti-inflammatory pathway, which is essentially a reflex to control inflammation.
Vagal Tone Exercises: Exercises like aggressive gargling, diaphragmatic breathing, humming, singing, and cryotherapy help increase vagal tone and stimulate your vagus nerve.
Dr. Navaz Habib is a Doctor of Chiropractic, certified in functional medicine, functional range conditioning, and acupuncture. Using a functional medicine approach, he helps people uncover and address health vulnerabilities that negatively affect their energy, focus, and productivity.

In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones is joined by Julie Davey, a Nurse Practitioner and Natural Health Educator. They discuss gut health, including signs and symptoms of an unhealthy gut, conventional and holistic testing and practices, and what you can do to maintain a healthy gut balance.
Key Takeaways:
What Is Gut Health? Gut health describes the function and the balance of the bacteria throughout the GI tract. As we get exposed to various external factors, we will always have some pathogenic bacteria. So gut health is about having a good balance in the microbiome.
Why Does Gut Health Start in Your Mouth? The mouth is like the gatekeeper for the gut. This is where we regulate everything that enters, whether good or bad. Oral health is crucial because if you have an imbalance, pathogens can cause issues in the oral cavity, systemic problems, and diseases.
Signs of an Unhealthy Gut: The most common signs are bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, and abdominal pain. If you have one or more of those symptoms, more than just occasionally or regularly, then something is not right in your gut. Other symptoms include food sensitivities or intolerances, poor sleep, weak immune system, anxiety, depression, and skin issues.
Gut Health Practices: Get rid of processed food and eat whole foods. Take probiotics from products like yogurt, kombucha, fermented veggies, and prebiotic fibers from bananas, onions, garlic, and asparagus. Relax and breathe deeply before eating, chew your food properly, try to drink water before or after your meal, and go for a walk after you eat.
Julie Davey is an expert in gut health, irritable bowel syndrome, gas, bloating, and gut test. She is a nurse practitioner and natural health educator with over twenty years of experience in healthcare.

In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones is joined by Emily Lucente, a Critical Care Nurse and Sleep Care Specialist. They discuss how sleep disorders, sleep apnea, snoring, and mouth taping can affect you.
Key Takeaways:
What Are Sleep Disorders and Sleep Apnea? A sleep disorder is a problem with sleep due to insomnia, falling asleep, staying asleep, maybe a REM behavioral sleep disorder, sleepwalk, or sleep talk. There are also breathing disorders while you're asleep. And that's what sleep apnea or obstructive sleep apnea is. There are two different types of sleep apnea. Central sleep apnea occurs when your brain doesn't trigger you to sleep and breathe. And obstructive sleep apnea is a mechanical problem as the airway collapses when you go to sleep.
Sleep Apnea Symptoms: There are two types of people with sleep apnea, asymptomatic and symptomatic. The asymptomatic group doesn't have any symptoms, except they snore or stop breathing when sleeping. The symptomatic group has most of the symptoms related to sleep apnea. These include snoring, daytime sleepiness, fatigue, hypersomnia, dry mouth, headaches, brain fog, and fragmented sleep.
Sleep Disorders During Perimenopause: We have complex muscles in the back of our throat that work together to keep the airway open and have good muscle tone. As women transition to perimenopause, estrogen and progesterone levels drop, and the throat muscles loosen. So when women go to sleep at night, those muscles relax. And as our estrogen and progesterone levels drop, they relax even more.
Emily Lucente is a board-certified nurse practitioner and member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. As a sleep care clinician and expert, she regularly educates on all aspects of sleep as she feels it's a significant foundation of overall health and well-being.

In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones is joined by Brian Karr, Indoor Environmental Consultant and Co-Founder of We Inspect. They discuss all about mold and mycotoxins in your home and what you can do about it.
Key Takeaways:
Mold Symptoms: Mold affects the whole body and determines neurological issues, brain fog, skin problems, hair loss, chronic fatigue, gut issues, and many others.
Looking for Mold the Right Way: If you walk into a house looking for mold visually, you will not find it because mold is hidden. Mold inspectors use generic methods of determining if you have mold, which is mostly ineffective. They should be looking for additional signs of mold and use various approaches. If you've been told your house is fine, yet you are still sick, try finding other inspectors and methods of checking the possibility of mold exposure.
Brian’s Practical Advice: If it's not wet now, it doesn't mean there is no mold. Just because the water dried out doesn't mean that the mold would just disappear. Think through wherever you're living and consider the tiny drops that might have happened in places you didn't think were a big deal. Empty all the sink cabinets that you have in your house. If you see staining, bubbling, cracking, or anything that doesn't look consistent with how the wood was installed when they did it, there is a high chance there is some mold issue.
Brian is an environmental consultant who specializes in working with hypersensitive individuals to understand if mold, mycotoxins, or other indoor pathogens exist in their homes that may be contributing to their health conditions.
