Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine: Recent Episodes
Ed Paget
In this show we explore how a person's lifestyle can be the key to their health and happiness. Routed in the principles of lifestyle medicine the podcasts takes an in-depth look at purpose, physical activity, nutrition, sleep, stress and how to live a long, healthy life.
Menopause gets treated like a vague “phase,” but one detail changes how you think about everything: menopause is literally one day, marked after 12 months with no period. The harder stretch for many women is perimenopause, when ovulation becomes unreliable and hormones fluctuate in ways that can disrupt sleep, mood, focus, weight, and relationships long before anyone says the word “menopause.” That confusion fuels bad advice and delayed care, so we wanted a plain-English reset.
I’m joined by Katie Lomas, a nurse practitioner who specializes in women’s health and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Together we tackle the myths that keep coming up in clinics and group chats: whether you can use HRT in perimenopause, what’s actually happening with bone density loss and osteoporosis risk, and why “no hot flashes” doesn’t mean “no problem.” We also unpack the lingering fear around breast cancer risk and the Women’s Health Initiative, including the difference between relative risk and absolute risk, plus why the type of hormones and the delivery route matter.
We get practical about options and personalization: transdermal estrogen (patches and gels), oral estrogen, micronized progesterone for uterine protection, and the often-missing conversation about testosterone as a human hormone that can influence motivation, cognition, mood, libido, and muscle. Katie also explains why vaginal estrogen is an underused tool for GSM (genitourinary syndrome of menopause), dryness, pain, and recurrent UTIs, and why shared decision-making should start with your goals for health span, not just a prescription.

Menopause weight gain can feel unfair, confusing, and strangely stubborn, especially when you swear you’re “not eating that much.” We go straight at that frustration and separate myth from physiology with nutrition and fitness coach Lisa France, founder of Nutrition Coaching and Life, joining me for a clear-eyed conversation about sustainable fat loss for real life.
We unpack why crash diets and extreme restriction often backfire, how your body adapts by conserving energy and amplifying hunger, and why “ending a diet” without a plan can set you up for rapid regain. Lisa explains what a moderate calorie deficit looks like, how to find your maintenance calories, and why gradually increasing calories after a fat-loss phase matters for long-term results. We also dig into calorie tracking as an education tool, not a forever rule, plus the role of protein for satiety, muscle retention, and healthy aging.
Then we zoom in on the menopause transition. Lisa shares what current research suggests about changes in metabolic rate, fat distribution toward the midsection, and the challenge of building or keeping lean mass, along with a grounded reminder: the basics still apply. Sleep, stress, resistance training, daily movement, fiber, and alcohol intake can become the difference-makers because the body is simply less forgiving. If tracking isn’t your thing, we talk Mediterranean-style eating as a practical, evidence-based template.
We close with an honest look at hyper-palatable processed foods, compulsive eating, and low-cost strategies that help you feel full again by leaning on whole foods, hydration, and smart movement.

Your brain doesn’t know what time it is. It only knows what light it’s seeing. If your nights are filled with bright LEDs and a glowing phone screen, you may be training your body to stay “on” long after sunset, suppressing melatonin and throwing off your circadian rhythm.
I sit down with James Swannick, former ESPN anchor and founder of Swannies blue light blocking glasses, to get clear on what blue light actually is, why it’s healthy from the sun during the day, and why artificial blue light at night can be such a sleep killer. We talk about the difference between filtering light in the daytime versus blocking it at night, why lens quality matters, and how many cheap “blue blocker” options don’t truly block the spectrum that impacts sleep. You’ll also hear practical lighting ideas you can use tonight, from lowering overhead lights to creating a warmer bedroom environment.
Then the conversation widens into another powerful lever for longevity and mental health: alcohol. James shares how a simple 30-day break from drinking turned into an alcohol-free lifestyle, along with the ripple effects he noticed in weight, mood, focus, relationships, and productivity. We also get into what makes change stick: supportive friends, daily movement like 15,000 steps, coaching, and building a lifestyle that feels like a choice instead of a punishment.

What if cognitive decline isn’t a fate but a feedback problem? We sit down with Sensei founder Paola Tefler to unpack a home neurotechnology platform that reads how your brain processes new information to the millisecond, then uses safe, noninvasive tools to help you focus better, sleep deeper, and recover faster. This isn’t another vague wellness gadget. It’s a closed loop: assess, intervene, reassess—and watch the data move.
Paola shares how a car crash and concussion revealed a gap in brain care and sparked eight years of R&D. We get into the nuts and bolts of event‑related potentials from a standardized flanker task, why function beats raw EEG power for everyday performance, and how thousands of sessions across ages fueled a biological brain age clock that approaches MRI models without the cost or friction. Because the signals are upstream of structural change, they’re actionable: you can check your brain age quarterly and see whether training is making you measurably younger, faster, and more efficient.
We break down the interventions too. Transcranial photobiomodulation at 810 nm personalizes stimulation around your alpha center frequency—no more one‑size‑fits‑all 10 Hz—while layered binaural beats and targeted meditations steer you toward calm or “ready” states. Neurofeedback translates alpha power and synchrony into responsive sound within ~200 ms, teaching you to enter and stabilize useful states without overthinking. Over time, protocols progress from foundational alpha and beta work to mixed pairings like alpha‑theta and theta‑gamma, building flexibility and resilience rather than a single productivity gear. Paola also walks through third‑party validation with the Buck Institute, the forthcoming Brain Years clinician report, and why motivated consumers and longevity clinics alike are leaning into objective, repeatable brain metrics.
If you care about longevity, cognition, attention, sleep, or burnout prevention, this deep dive into EEG, HRV, photobiomodulation, and neurofeedback will shift how you think about brain healthspan—and what you can do about it at home.

Want a clearer path through the chaos of nutrition advice? We sit down with Chris McCaskill—earth scientist turned tech leader at NeXT and founder of Viva Longevity—to unpack how big data and epidemiology reveal what actually adds years of healthy life. From caddying for Jack LaLanne to building products alongside Steve Jobs, Chris traces how a scientist’s lens cuts through hype and lands on patterns that stand the test of time: mostly whole plant foods, minimal ultra-processed products, and a sharp rethink of red meat.
We dig into why some influential voices attack epidemiology, how industry-funded studies create confusion, and what the Seven Countries Study really did right—diverse cohorts, rigorous food sampling, and decades-long follow-up. Chris explains how global dietary guidelines converge because the signal in the data is strong, and he names credible researchers worth following, including Walter Willett and the Harvard team behind landmark cohorts. You’ll also hear why certain “clean” meats are functionally engineered foods: high-fat, heavily salted, and bred for the bliss point that drives overeating.
The conversation turns practical with insights on bending obesity curves, why simple advice loses to novelty online, and how to adopt plant-forward habits without dogma. We touch on sustainability, pandemics, and ethics, making the compelling case that cutting red meat is good for your body and the planet. If you’re ready to trade anecdotes for evidence and move beyond viral myths, this one gives you the tools to evaluate claims and make confident choices.

Most people hear “do more Kegels” and brace for disappointment. We go deeper, showing how only a fraction of bladder control is voluntary and why the autonomic nervous system quietly drives continence, urgency and pelvic pain. With Dr. Nigel Brayer, a chiropractor and rehab specialist who built the Ironclad System after his wife’s postpartum struggle, we unpack a kinder, smarter roadmap that shifts focus from isolated muscles to full-body regulation.
We start with the overlooked 70%: autonomic control. You’ll learn a simple vagus-nerve technique using the triangular fossa of the ear, plus breathing cues that lift the diaphragm and reduce downward pressure on the bladder. We separate “stress” into three clear lanes—physical structure and fascia, nutritional-chemical-hormonal inputs, and mental-emotional load—so you can pick a realistic starting point. From there, we dig into everyday triggers hiding in plain sight: caffeine’s stimulatory hit, carbonation’s lining irritation and tannins in tea and red wine that can sensitize tissue. A protein-and-healthy-fat-forward plate with low simple carbs supports tissue repair and steadier nerves without the inflammatory sugar swings.
Then we bring it all together with practical training. The “squaggle” combines a supported wide squat, a gentle pelvic contraction and a slow exhale to coordinate breath, fascia and pelvic floor reflexes. This isn’t gym heroics; it’s teaching your nervous system a calmer default. We also explore posture and fascial lines that link rib cage, diaphragm and pelvis, and why tracking your symptoms weekly reveals progress that’s easy to miss day to day. Whether you’re dealing with leaks after childbirth, urge incontinence that seems “in your head,” or persistent pelvic discomfort, this conversation offers evidence-informed steps that respect how the body really works.
If this resonated, follow the show, share it with someone who needs hope, and leave a review telling us which change you’re trying first. Your lifestyle is your medicine—let’s make it work for you.

Ever wondered if your daily stack is helping or just making expensive urine? We pull back the curtain on the supplement industry with health coach and product veteran James Garland to show how to spot real quality, avoid common traps, and build a smart, minimal routine you can trust. From supply chain fraud to pristine production, James explains what reputable brands actually do: rigorous raw-material testing, third-party verification, and radical transparency with accessible certificates of analysis.
We walk through the shopper’s blueprint for safer choices. Start with the “other ingredients” panel to catch hidden flow agents and colorants that serve machines, not your body. Learn why methylated forms of folate and B12 matter—especially if you have MTHFR variants—and how to read labels to confirm active forms instead of cheap substitutes. If you feel generally fine, a clean, methylated multivitamin can be a solid insurance policy. If you’re dealing with fatigue, brain fog, or stubborn symptoms, targeted testing helps you supplement with precision instead of guessing.
We also tackle the big picture: modern soils are depleted, diets skew processed, and daily stressors raise nutrient demand. That’s why basics like omega-3s, magnesium, and vitamin D often deliver outsize benefits when chosen well. James shares his personal stack, the thinking behind each pick, and candid criteria for the brands he trusts—no hype, just repeatable habits. By the end, you’ll know how to vet companies, interpret claims, and choose forms that your body can actually use.

Jessica Setnick, a worldwide authority on eating disorders, explains how disordered eating exists on a spectrum that affects everyone, not just those with clinical diagnoses. Her anthropological background provides unique insights into why we make the food choices we do and how our emotional states influence eating patterns.
• Eating disorders exist on a spectrum – anyone who eats can have eating problems
• The key question is whether your eating habits support or detract from your life goals
• "How you're feeling after eating is how you were feeling before" – food often becomes a scapegoat for pre-existing emotions
• Past experiences, family patterns, and cultural messages all shape our relationships with food
• Trauma, including food insecurity, can significantly impact eating behaviors
• Shame about eating habits prevents healing, while regret opens the door to change
• The "apple test" helps distinguish between physical hunger and other emotional needs
• When seeking professional help, personality match is more important than credentials

Dr. Mohamed Farivar, a Harvard-trained gastroenterologist with nearly 50 years of experience, reveals that true Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is extremely rare, with most cases being misdiagnosed digestive issues that have specific, treatable causes.
• True, IBS affects only about 5% of those diagnosed, while the remaining 95% have identifiable, treatable conditions
• Over 40 different conditions can cause IBS-like symptoms, including food intolerances, enzyme deficiencies, and bile salt malabsorption
• Doctors often lack knowledge about proper diagnosis, and the medical system doesn't incentivize physicians to spend time investigating root causes
• FODMAP-rich foods (including many "healthy" vegetables and fruits) can cause digestive discomfort, but shouldn't be completely eliminated
• Bile salt malabsorption is a particularly serious yet commonly missed diagnosis, causing urgent bowel movements and occasional incontinence
• Probiotics are generally unnecessary as we already have trillions of beneficial bacteria in our gut - yogurt and kefir provide better natural alternatives
• Many patients suffer unnecessarily for years before discovering simple solutions through proper diagnosis
For more information, visit Dr. Farivar's website at gerd-ibs.com or his new site isitibsoryourdiet.com, where his book will be available for free.

Dr. Dylan Petkus shares his revolutionary approach to overcoming sleep apnea naturally through breathing pattern correction, myofunctional exercises, and lifestyle changes. He explains how his personal struggle with sleep apnea led him to develop a science-backed method that addresses the root causes rather than relying on CPAP machines or surgery.
• Sleep apnea affects approximately 10% of the population and can reduce lifespan by 10-25 years
• Contrary to common belief, sleep apnea affects many people who aren't overweight
• Only 30% of people prescribed CPAP machines continue using them long-term
• Sleep apnea often begins with hyperventilation, which creates negative pressure that collapses the airway
• Simple breathing exercises focusing on slow exhalation can significantly improve sleep quality
• The "relaxed pause" breath-holding test can help identify and track improvement in sleep apnea
• Myofunctional exercises (tongue and oral muscle training) comprise about 20% of the solution
• Improving mitochondrial health through nutrition and lifestyle accounts for the remaining 40%
• Mouth taping addresses a symptom rather than the root cause of breathing dysfunction
• Free resources for sleep apnea sufferers are available at apneareset.com
Check out Dr. Petkus' website at apneareset.com for free resources, breathing exercises, and information about his coaching programs.

Dr. I-Chia Sun's journey from stressed Western doctor to integrated healer reveals profound truths about our bodies, medicine, and healing. Raised by Chinese immigrant parents who steered her away from her original interest in Chinese medicine, Dr. Sun followed the expected path through Western medical training only to emerge feeling disconnected and limited in her ability to truly help patients.
The revelation came after a mountain biking accident left her with an injury that conventional physiotherapy couldn't fix. One acupuncture session that incorporated emotional release immediately improved her hand function—illuminating what was missing from her medical practice. This moment rekindled her forgotten childhood desire to study Chinese medicine and set her on a path of integration that would transform her understanding of healing.
Through her study of acupuncture with Dr. Steven Ong, Dr. Sun began experiencing the energetic dimensions of healing that Western medicine overlooks. She describes how conventional medicine often masks symptoms without addressing root causes, particularly when those causes involve emotional components. The limited time doctors have with patients (often just 10 minutes) forces them to compartmentalize complex issues that are actually interconnected.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Dr. Sun shares her discovery of fascial maneuvers—a practice that works with the body's connective tissues to release not just physical restrictions but stored emotions and trauma. She explains how our fascia holds the physical manifestation of repressed experiences, and how working through these layers can trigger profound emotional releases, memories, and healing.
What makes this approach revolutionary is its emphasis on self-healing. Rather than patients being passive recipients of treatment, they learn techniques to initiate their own healing process. This empowerment represents a fundamental shift in how we approach health—one that honors the body's intelligence and our innate capacity for healing when given the right support.

In Today's podcast Ed Paget shares with you two ways in which he tracks his health. Both these methods give external validation to the subjective feelings of well-being.
The tools discussed here have been instrumental in forming my current exercise, rest and recovery protocols and will play a role in my health tracking I the future.
InsideTracker: Analysis and Recommendations
InsideTracker
Proactively tracking and measuring health markers is essential for optimizing health and longevity, and InsideTracker is a valuable tool for achieving this. InsideTracker is a blood testing service that analyzes various biomarkers to provide personalized recommendations for improving health. By regularly monitoring relevant blood markers, individuals can identify potential health issues and make targeted interventions based on their specific needs. In this episode, Ed Paget shares his personal experience using InsideTracker and how it has helped him optimize his health. He emphasizes the importance of tracking levels of essential nutrients like magnesium and vitamin B12, electrolytes, and fluid balance. Moreover, Paget appreciates the actionable advice provided by InsideTracker, such as adding a multistrain probiotic or sprouted grain cereal to one's diet to help improve specific biomarkers. This personalized approach to health management enables individuals to make effective lifestyle changes based on their unique needs and goals.
Whoop's Sleep Percentage
Another essential tool for proactive health management mentioned by Ed Paget in the episode is the Whoop. This wearable device tracks heart rate variability, sleep, and recovery, providing insightful information on how daily activities affect one's body, recovery levels, and quality of sleep. By understanding the percentage of time spent in deep sleep, light sleep, and REM sleep, individuals can identify patterns and make adjustments to optimize sleep and recovery. Ed's personal experience with Whoop has shown him the benefits of tracking sleep percentages and adjusting his lifestyle accordingly. He highlights how he has discovered that taking magnesium and vitamin C in the evenings helps improve his recovery, and that big evening meals negatively affect his sleep quality. By paying attention to these details and making changes, Paget has been able to improve his overall health and well-being.
Lifestyle Factors for Better Health
Beyond using tools like InsideTracker and Whoop, Ed Paget emphasizes the critical role that various lifestyle factors, such as diet and exercise, play in achieving optimal health. By adjusting nutrition, supplementation, and exercise routines based on data from these tools, individuals can improve their recovery, prevent overtraining, and prepare for illnesses. Paget shares examples from his personal experiences with making adjustments to his lifestyle. He has noticed that aerobic exercises in the afternoons can negatively affect his recovery, while the right nutrition and supplementation strategies have improved his recovery levels. By adopting these targeted interventions, Ed highlights the importance of considering multiple lifestyle factors in the journey to optimal health.

Welcome to "Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine"
This podcast explores how a person's lifestyle can be the key to health and happiness.
Choosing between a hospital and home birth is a personal decision. Hospital births typically have access to medical equipment and emergency interventions but may be more likely to encourage unnecessary interventions. Home births offer a more intimate and relaxed setting, which can reduce stress and anxiety for the mother.
A holistic approach to childbirth can help reduce the need for unnecessary interventions and encourage a more natural birth experience. Expectant parents must educate themselves about the birth process and develop a solid birth plan that outlines their preferences for labor and delivery. This can include exploring different birthing positions, understanding relaxation techniques, and learning about pain relief options that do not rely on medical interventions.
My guest today is Dr. Nathan Riley; he is a renegade in the world of natural birth, death, and parenting and brings a wealth of experience and passion to the conversation. With a background as a medical MD specializing in obstetrics, Nathan has attended over a thousand births and has a C-section rate of less than 5%. He became disillusioned with the standard medical care offered in the US, so he now advocates for midwifery and continues attending births himself.
Nathan Riley shares his experience of having a hospital birth for his first child and a home birth for his second child. He expresses his concerns regarding the over-medicalization of childbirth in hospitals, which has led to increased intervention rates like early inductions and C-sections. Safety and comfort are crucial when deciding the ideal birthing environment.
He explains why proper nutrition and lifestyle changes ensure a healthy pregnancy and childbirth. During the conversation, Riley shares his insights on preparing for conception by making lifestyle changes 120 days before trying to conceive. By focusing on metabolic health, foundational movement patterns, and sleep hygiene, expectant parents can better prepare their bodies for the journey of pregnancy and childbirth.
Join us to learn how to empower parents more naturally to ensure a healthy pregnancy and childbirth.

Welcome to "Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine"
This podcast explores how a person's lifestyle can be the key to health and happiness.
Chronic pain and insomnia are often intertwined, exacerbating each other and resulting in a vicious cycle. The presence of chronic pain can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to insomnia. Similarly, insomnia can worsen chronic pain symptoms as the lack of restful sleep can intensify pain perception. Understanding the connection between these conditions is vital for individuals struggling with both to improve their quality of life.
In this episode, Annie Mille is a renowned clinical social worker treating chronic pain and insomnia. She has dedicated her career to understanding the intricate relationship between neural pathways and the brain's role in these conditions.
As a therapist, she was intrigued by the connection between chronic stress, past traumatic experiences, and the development of chronic pain. As she delved deeper into the subject, Annie discovered that the brain could become sensitized to pain due to constant stress, leading to the development of chronic pain even when there is no identifiable structural cause. This realization sparked a passion in her to help people understand the true source of their pain and find relief by teaching them how to separate fear from their physical sensations.
Through her work at DC Metro Therapy, she has helped countless individuals better understand the underlying causes of their pain and sleep issues, empowering them to regain control of their lives.
Join us to learn how to break the vicious cycle of insomnia and chronic pain.

This podcast explores how a person's lifestyle can be the key to health and happiness.
Everyone knows that anything worth having takes work and effort. But what happens when you have accumulated a lifetime of feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and stuck because you're doing the work but not seeing the desired results? And over time, your body also takes a toll with pain, sickness, and stress.
What do you do when you reach that point?
In today’s episode, Christopher Lee Maher a man who had spent years believing his value came from hard work. Still, when his body when through physical pain without a clear explanation, he decided to take life-changing risks to discover a new truth. From there, he embarked on a mission to empower others to embrace their inner guru and create a paradigm shift, ultimately achieving freedom and joy.
Christopher is a former Navy SEAL and Olympic hopeful who has written the book Free for Life: A Navy Seal's Path to Inner Freedom and Outer Peace. He now works with individuals to help them reach their maximum potential, using his unique approach to body intelligence.
Christopher’s journey has led him to have some pretty out their experiences; he’s experienced things through his inner work that most people would only get a glimpse of if they took hallucinogenic drugs. He also applies the six tenants of lifestyle medicine and other tools to “detox” the body and mind to reach higher levels of consciousness to become authentic and be free from pain.
With that said, some of you may find his words become the first step on a life-changing journey; for others, they might be just entertaining; whatever you think, you’ll agree that he has a unique perspective on healing.

Welcome to "Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine"
This podcast explores how a person's lifestyle can be the key to health and happiness.
We all strive to achieve happiness, but do we really know what happiness is?
Everybody defines happiness: as success, wealth, knowledge, pair recognition, etc. However, not everybody knows that we are biologically wired to thrive and survive, just as every living thing on this planet does through homeostasis.
In this episode, Liam Naden, a researcher, author, podcaster, and speaker, shares his journey of discovering how to use really find happiness with the most effective "machinery" we have access to since we were born... OUR BRAINS.
Liam Naden studied spirituality, psychology, and personal development but was unhappy and not achieving his desired success. He was consumed with the question of how he could be t e best he could be. After becoming wealthy, he suddenly lost everything and was left homeless, living on his mother's couch. He then spent time in nature and realized that life's purpose was to strive to be the best it could be. He discovered that this was done by using the full potential of the brain, a machine whose sole purpose is to ensure it has the greatest chance of survival by being the best it can be.
Liam has developed Neuro State Rebalancing, a method to help people use their brains correctly to eliminate fear and live more creatively.
Join us to learn the purpose of life according to biological science and how the brain works to help us achieve it.

Can we create health after 50?
My guest this week, Gregory Anne Cox, talks about the importance of mindset in our question about health and wellness. She addresses the importance of finding what works for each individual and don't let the values and beliefs of others determine your actions and how you feel about yourself.
Greg is a Certified Life Coach, Weight Loss Coach and has a Certificate in Nutrition. She shares with us how she specializes in women, particularly between 50 and 70, who are potentially on a downward projection in their health. And then reverses that to put them at an upward point into their healthy lifespan; they can add those quality years to their life.
She takes a rebellious approach to aging by staying well, looking and feeling great, and avoiding prescription-pad medicine.
Join us to "Get the healthy habits in and the other ones out, and you're off to the races."

Welcome to "Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine"
This podcast explores how a person's lifestyle can be the key to health and happiness.
Functional medicine is a term that is largely unfamiliar to the general public, although it was how doctors used to treat patients in the past. Functional medicine can be difficult to define, so comparing it to allopathic medicine can give us a broad understanding of this approach.
In conventional medicine, doctors diagnose a disease and then match it to a specific treatment. This approach works well when someone is diagnosed with an acute healthcare problem such as a heart attack, infection, or trauma like a spinal cord injury. However, this type of medical intervention can fall short of what is required for many chronic conditions, including high blood pressure, digestive issues, or neurological problems.
Functional medicine explores why someone has developed a particular disease, perhaps by looking at their lifestyle and diet or family history. This in-depth investigation suggests potential changes, such as switching to a certain diet, that could improve the patient's condition.
Personalized care is becoming increasingly prevalent in healthcare environments. The functional model aims to understand the individual’s physiological, biological, emotional, and cognitive makeup to determine the best way to achieve optimal health. This is what our guest Dr. Shane Steadman does in his practice being a chiropractic neurologist and a chiropractic nutritionist. In today's episode, he explains how a functional medicine practitioner treats patients; with 20 years of experience, he looks look at all of these different systems in the body and how they integrate, and what we can do to improve the person's health. We also discuss what's most important in the hierarchy of exercise, health, nutrition, stress management and relationships, and avoiding toxic substances.
Join us to learn why sleep, exercise, and nutrition are the foundations of health.

The nervous system is the body’s command center. Originating from the brain, it controls movements, thoughts, and automatic responses to the world around us. It also controls other body systems and processes, such as digestion, breathing, sleep, healing, stress response, and aging.
Thousands of disorders and conditions can affect this complex system. An injured nerve has trouble sending a message. Sometimes it’s so damaged that it can’t send or receive a message. Nerve injury can cause numbness, inflammation, and pain. Then, if the nervous system is affected by a chronic illness, is it possible to reverse the degenerative process by resetting our nervous system?
In today's episode, Dr. Amy Novotny, a breathwork specialist, explains how rewiring the nervous system with position, posture, and breathing techniques to get people out of pain, eliminate stress, anxiety, and sleep issues, avoid surgery and get off medications. Her unique approach comes from her experience treating in various settings and with a wide range of patient populations over the past 12 years. Her background in orthopedics, sports, geriatrics, balance disorders, nerve injuries, and most recently, chronic pain, and influences from coursework at the Postural Restoration Institute gave her the foundation to develop the PABR method, which stands for pain, awareness, breathing, and relief. This is a holistic approach to restoring the body to its full potential using the body’s nervous system. It is a step-by-step process to change how the body feels and moves.
Join us to learn how breathwork can take your nervous system from fight and flight to relaxation mode.

Welcome to "Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine"
This podcast explores how a person's lifestyle can be the key to health and happiness.
Mold is a natural part of the environment and plays an integral role in nature by breaking down dead organic matter, such as fallen leaves and dead trees. Mold reproduces through tiny spores, which as are like seeds but invisible to the naked eye, that float through the air and deposit on surfaces. When the temperature, moisture, and available nutrient conditions are correct, the spores can form new mold colonies where they are deposited. If this occurs naturally in nature, imagine the amount of mold it can accumulate in a closed environment due to flooding, leaky roofs, building maintenance, or indoor plumbing. Extended periods of indoor mold exposure can lead to serious health issues such as chronic fatigue, breathing problems, chronic inflammatory response syndrome, and brain fog.
In today's episode, my guest Tim Swackhammer, Founder and CEO of Mold Medics in Pittsburgh, PA, and Mold Medics Franchising, explains the signs of mold production due to different factors (vapor barriers) not only related to water and moisture accumulation. He guides us through a testing, inspection, and remediation process that any house or building owner should be aware of when trying to eliminate toxic mold for good.
Tim also gives us a real example of the adverse effects on a client and how this person had a tremendous improvement in her body and even her relationship by getting rid of toxic mold in her house. Finally, he explains radon gas and the health risks to people (lung cancer) when it infiltrates your home through cracks in the foundations, joints, and drains.

Welcome to "Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine"
This podcast explores how a person's lifestyle can be the key to health and happiness.
Thousands of years of exposure to the natural environment have molded the way our bodies adapt and respond to stress.
With the advances in modern technology, we rarely need to challenge ourselves physically. This means most of us have no idea of what we are truly capable of.
The feats of endurance that our ancestors took for granted now seem impossible in an age where comfort is literally handed to us on a plate. But the consequence of the easy life is an increase in sickness, weakness, and fragility.
So, what can we do to be like our ancestors and build more resilience? You see, resilience is the answer to functioning and recovering when faced with illness, accidents, or other physical demands.
Resilience gives people the psychological strength to cope with stress and hardship. It is the mental reservoir of power that people can call on in times of need to carry them through, without falling apart. Psychologists believe resilient individuals can better handle adversity and rebuild their lives after a struggle.
In today's episode New York Times bestselling author and anthropologist, Scott Carney, shares how giving yourself just the right amount of ‘uncomfortable’ can help you discover just how powerful you really are and deliver enormous benefits to your self-confidence, strength, health, and stress resilience. His books, ‘What Doesn't Kill Us’ and ‘The Wedge’ make a case for how environmental training and exposure are as fundamental to human health as diet and exercise. Through his research, he discovered that he could become one with the environment by adding sensation variability to his own life and ultimately accomplish amazing things. He was the first journalist to write about Wim Hof, and by trying to debunk him, he ended up climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in record time wearing little clothing.
We also talk about stimulus and response, how to put ourselves into a highly effective flow state, fight and flight chemistry, and how to rewire your mind and body for maximum results. Through personal experimentation, Scott explored ways of changing his external environment to control his body’s physiology (internal environment). Through cold exposure, heat exposure, oxygen deprivation, kettle bells training, and Ayahuasca (to name but a few), he showed how he could take conscious control of seemingly unconscious bodily processes.

Welcome to "Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine"
This podcast explores how a person's lifestyle can be the key to health and happiness.
Movement is one of the pillars of increasing one's healthspan, which ultimately will secure happiness and longevity in a lifespan. There are several ways to become healthier through movement like going to the gym, lifting weights, playing a sport, doing yoga, etc. Yet, not everybody knows the functionality exercise brings to our bodies; sure we can lose weight and build muscle, but the real meaning of movement is to secure survival; after all, humans beings are animals, and through thousands of years of evolution our bodies have been equipped to respond to danger and adapt to nature.
The body needs to move the way it is designed; otherwise, it breaks down. The loss of a healthy upright posture is the most visible effect of aging. Until you reconnect with your body’s natural movement abilities – everything from getting out of bed to moving furniture, to playing with your children feels different. You will be astonished at how your body responds to practicing its natural movements.
But what is a "natural movement"?
In today's show, my guest Erwan Le Corre explains how walking, running, balancing, crawling, jumping, climbing, and swimming, are the most efficient ways the body can become fit again, more capable in the real world, and most importantly become confident in your own body.
Erwan Le Corre is the founder of MovNat, a physical education system, and lifestyle principles that explores the body’s full range of motion and agility. It is a complete and immersive experience with the natural world that allows gaining the skills, strength, and conditioning essential to adapt and perform in any environment. Erwan has more than 30 years of knowledge in disciplines such as karate, parkour-like training, barefoot running, sailing, Olympic weightlifting, rock climbing, long-distance triathlon, trail running, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Since 2004 he has been studying the benefits of all the natural movements humans are capable of and in 2008 started teaching MovNat in the United States and now around the world.

A good night's sleep is vital for every human being to survive. We all know that doctors recommend between 6-8 hours in a day; this means an average of 229,961 sleeping hours or one-third in a lifetime. Given this fact, a good mattress is essential to get the necessary rest our body needs.
Getting a quality mattress can turn into a true quest, there are so many options in terms of materials, firmness, size, etc. The majority of conventional mattresses can be expensive and not last long. A few years ago, I became aware of this and wanted to ensure my kids, and I could sleep in a safe and sustainable mattress that could last longer than the conventional ones.
In this episode, I interview Christian Schmidt, an environmental consultant in Canada who founded the Black Sheep Mattress Company to make a difference in this field. He wanted to build mattresses with organic, renewable materials that are safe to use and environmentally friendly.
Join us to learn how a mattress can significantly impact your sleep pattern and the environment.

Epigenetics is the study of how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work. These changes are reversible and do not change your DNA sequence, but they can modify how your body reads a DNA sequence.
During development, the DNA that makes up our genes accumulates chemical marks that determine how much or little of the genes are expressed. Every environmental influence, such as children’s experiences, affects the expression of genes.
In today’s show, I interview Dr. Morgan Levine, a professor at Yale with a research background in epigenetics and aging. Together we explore DNA clocks, things that can predict our biological age, which is different from our chronological age, and diverse ways to reverse them. We also get into the future of anti-aging, which can be things like plasma transfusions, gene editing, and a whole of topics I had never heard of.

Welcome to "Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine"This is the podcast that explores how a person's lifestyle can be the key to their health and happiness.
What do you do when you are sick and don't know the cause of your illness?
Well, like any regular person, you would go to your doctor's appointment, and in that 10-minute appointment, the doctor might come up with a diagnosis or send you for tests. This can be part of the process but many people have to wait until they are really sick to fit into a diagnosis. Then they are given medicine to help the symptoms but not treat the cause. But what if you are given medication before you get a clear diagnosis, can this help or hinder it?
This was the case of Dr. Sally Bell; she is an NHS General Practitioner in the UK with expertise in lifestyle medicine. She has been working as a community doctor for more than 20 years in the UK and Africa and still today works part-time in NHS urgent care.
When she suffered health issues she trusted her doctors but didn't get the answers she wanted. The medical model that she was taught let her down. This made her look deeper into the root cause of her problems which she managed to heal with lifestyle changes. She is now convinced that there are better solutions to complex and chronic health problems than the conventional medical approach. This led her to undertake more training in Functional Medicine, which opened her eyes to the body's remarkable ability to heal itself. But, as she now knows, it can only do that if you learn how to create the right conditions.
In today's episode, Dr. Sally Bell takes us through her journey to cure herself and how she developed the five foundations of well-being. She explains why nutrition, movement, sleep, rest, and connection are the pillars of a healthy life.
Join us and learn why lifestyle problems require lifestyle solutions.

Welcome to "Your Lifestyle Is Your Medicine"This is the podcast that explores how a person's lifestyle can be the key to their health and happiness.
One of the pillars of a long and healthy life is nutrition. Holistic nutrition is the process of sourcing good quality food and preparing it properly in order for the body to absorb as many of the nutrients a possible. Holistic nutrition requires a whole-life approach— one’s health is an expression of the complex interplay between the physical and chemical, mental and emotional, as well as spiritual and environmental aspects of one’s life and being.
In today’s show, I take a deep dive into holistic nutrition with my guest Barb Sheldon. Together we explore how digestion (gut-brain), energy levels, hormonal responses, movement, sleep, immunity, and stress levels determine the state of your body before deciding on your nutrition goals.
Barb also shares with us some practical tips to overcome adrenal fatigue/tiredness in your everyday life.
Join us to find out how you can improve your health through holistic nutrition.

Welcome to "Your lifestyle is your medicine"This is the podcast where we're going to get into the true mind, body, spirit or as I like to say Matter, Mindset and Mojo.
I will cover a huge breadth of material which we can call lifestyle medicine and I’ll do this by interviewing experts in their fields.
If you can take away just a little bit of the information I share, I hope it empowers you to make better health decisions that will trickle out to your immediate family and then to your community.
Join me to find out how you can improve your health and, ultimately increase your healthspan.
