Hidden Thyroid and Stress Problems? Dr. Rodger Murphree Says They Could Be Driving Your Symptoms

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 23:27:00 -0000

Dr. Rodger Murphree says fibromyalgia is not a single disease but a syndrome with many possible triggers, and he argues that many patients stay stuck because doctors never do the detective work to find the real cause of their pain, fatigue, brain fog, sleep trouble, and digestive symptoms. In this episode, he walks through one patient case and explains how overlooked thyroid dysfunction, high reverse T3, and depleted stress hormones can keep fibromyalgia symptoms going for years.

He says real progress starts with deep, restorative sleep and rebuilding the body’s ability to handle stress. That means looking beyond basic lab work, correcting thyroid conversion problems, supporting low cortisol and DHEA, and using the right supplements while the body recovers. Murphree’s message is blunt: you cannot drug your way out of fibromyalgia, and lasting improvement comes from fixing the underlying causes instead of just covering up symptoms.

Feeling Better, Then Crashing? The Fibromyalgia Flare Cycle

Sat, 21 Mar 2026 01:25:00 -0000

Dr. Rodger Murphree explains why fibromyalgia flares often hit after patients finally start feeling better. He says many people with fibromyalgia make the mistake of overdoing it mentally or physically on a good day, only to end up exhausted and in bed for days after. In this episode, he argues that fibro flares are often driven by poor sleep, chronic stress, and a body that has lost its resilience after years of physical or emotional strain.

He says the real starting point is deep, restorative sleep and rebuilding the body’s ability to handle stress. That includes addressing nutritional and hormonal deficiencies, using targeted supplements, and pacing activity instead of rushing back into old routines too fast. Murphree’s message is direct: feeling better does not mean you are fully recovered, and lasting progress comes from restoring stamina before you push your limits.

Why Pain, Poor Sleep, and Brain Fog Don’t Get Better on Their Own

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 01:32:00 -0000

Dr. Rodger Murphree explains why he is strongly against relying on Lyrica or Gabapentin as long-term answers for fibromyalgia. He says the research shows these drugs help only a limited number of patients, while the side effects often look a lot like fibromyalgia itself: weight gain, brain fog, nerve pain, poor sleep, digestive issues, anxiety, and depression. In this episode, he argues that many patients get stuck on six to 12 medications because conventional care keeps layering on symptom relief instead of addressing what is driving the illness.

He says the real path forward is finding and fixing the underlying causes behind fibromyalgia. That means improving diet, correcting nutritional deficiencies, addressing hormone imbalances, restoring sleep, and slowly weaning unnecessary medications under medical supervision. Murphree’s message is blunt: you cannot drug your way out of fibromyalgia, and lasting progress comes from rebuilding health at the root level.

Could Your Everyday Routine Be Worsening Chronic Illness?

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 01:17:00 -0000

Dr. Rodger Murphree says overcoming fibromyalgia or any chronic illness starts with personal responsibility. He argues that conventional medicine often helps in acute situations, but long-term care for chronic illness usually turns into symptom management instead of fixing what caused the problem in the first place. In this episode, he uses type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, depression, and fibromyalgia to make the case that medication alone is rarely enough.

He says the real work is changing daily habits: cleaning up a standard American diet, losing excess weight, improving restorative sleep, reducing stress, and slowly rebuilding physical activity. Murphree also explains why many people stay trapped in poor health when they rely on convenience foods, stay sedentary, or ignore toxic stressors and medication side effects. His message is direct: the body can heal, but only when you give it the conditions to do so.

The Pill Trap: How One Prescription Can Turn Into Ten

Sat, 28 Feb 2026 01:36:00 -0000

Dr. Rodger Murphree argues that a lot of fibromyalgia patients get stuck in a medication “domino effect” because many doctors don’t understand the condition and rely on prescriptions that may help short-term but backfire long-term. He says drugs like Lyrica/Neurontin can trigger weight gain, higher blood sugar, fluid retention, and then a chain of add-on meds (diuretics, electrolyte fixes, restless-leg drugs) without actually solving the root problem. He warns that sleep meds and anti-anxiety meds can knock you out without giving deep restorative sleep, which keeps the body from repairing and pushes people into a vicious cycle of more inflammation, worse sleep, and worse symptoms.

He also claims statins and other common meds can create fibromyalgia-like symptoms by draining energy and worsening brain fog and pain, and he says chronic NSAID use can cause serious downstream harm. His bottom line: don’t quit meds suddenly, but get educated, review everything you take, and work with a practitioner who looks for underlying causes like thyroid issues, adrenal stress, mold, Lyme, gut problems, and food triggers instead of just adding more pills.

Diabetes Isn’t “Managed” — It’s Destroying You

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 02:30:00 -0000

Dr. Rodger Murphree lays out a blunt case that prediabetes and type 2 diabetes are largely driven by diet and excess body fat, not “bad genetics,” and that simply “managing” numbers with drugs doesn’t stop damage. He frames high blood sugar as a chronic inflammation problem that raises risk for heart attack, stroke, nerve pain, eye disease, kidney failure, fatty liver, and cognitive decline. He pushes A1C as the key metric to track, argues that ultra-processed foods, sugar, sugary drinks, fruit juice, and seed oils (high omega-6) worsen inflammation, and recommends shifting to whole foods built around protein, vegetables, and healthier fats while increasing omega-3s. He critiques common diabetes meds (metformin side effects, insulin leading to weight gain, GLP-1 tradeoffs), then pivots to supplements (fish oil, berberine “blood sugar support,” CoQ10) and ends with multiple weight-loss turnaround stories plus a paid “drops” program he claims reduces appetite and cravings so people can stick to the diet long-term.

What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Your Heart And Cholesterol

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 19:52:00 -0000

Dr. Rodger Murphree challenges common heart-disease messaging, arguing that cholesterol and dietary cholesterol are not the real drivers of heart attacks and strokes. He claims statins offer only a small benefit for many people while creating real downsides, then shifts the focus to chronic inflammation as the main problem behind cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and metabolic issues. He highlights supplements he believes matter most (especially CoQ10 and magnesium), calls out sugar and seed oils as major inflammation triggers, and pushes a food plan built around protein, vegetables, and better fats. He ends with weight-loss before/after stories and a paid “drops” program he says can curb appetite and help people stick to the diet.

Sleep That Saves You: Dr. Rodger Murphree’s Deep-Delta Fix

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 17:00:00 -0000

Dr. Rodger Murphree lays out his step-by-step plan to rebuild deep restorative (delta-wave) sleep as the foundation for healing chronic illness—especially fibromyalgia, fatigue, IBS, brain fog, anxiety, and depression. He walks through strict sleep hygiene, then a supplement ladder (melatonin, 5-HTP for fibro, GABA/L-theanine, magnesium), plus common reasons people wake at 3 a.m. He closes with key labs he thinks matter (vitamin D, thyroid, iron/ferritin, calcium/PTH) and a warning about relying on prescription sleep meds.

No More Pain: Dr. Rodger Murphree’s Anti-Inflammation Playbook

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 17:00:00 -0000

Dr. Rodger Murphree—functional medicine practitioner and nutritional specialist—lays out his approach to common GI problems seen in chronic illness, especially fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. He says many patients bounce between diarrhea and constipation, deal with bloating and gas, and end up stuck on symptom drugs instead of fixing root causes.

He argues the foundation is sleep, stress control, and diet cleanup, then basic gut support: digestive enzymes with meals, probiotics, magnesium/B vitamins, and the amino acid L-glutamine. He connects “leaky gut” to food sensitivities and whole-body inflammation, and claims reflux is often “low stomach acid,” not high—so long-term antacids can backfire. He closes with a simple IBS protocol (IBS-A/IBS-C/IBS-D), product resources, and a limited-time discount code.

Your Brain Isn’t Broken—You’re Depleted

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 13:00:00 -0000

Dr. Rodger Murphree—functional medicine practitioner and nutritional specialist—breaks down his “orthomolecular” approach to anxiety and depression, especially in people with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and long-term stress. He says many patients are told to “live with it,” then end up on multiple prescriptions that can worsen sleep, energy, and brain fog.

He argues the real goal is to restore the building blocks for neurotransmitters—using amino acids, B vitamins, magnesium, vitamin C, and omega-3s—then layer targeted supplements based on symptom checklists for serotonin, GABA, dopamine, norepinephrine, and opioid-like endorphins. He repeatedly warns not to abruptly stop antidepressants or benzodiazepines and says tapering should be done with clinician support.

Your Thyroid Labs Look Fine—So Why Do You Feel Awful?

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 22:53:00 -0000

Dr. Rodger Murphree—functional medicine practitioner and nutritional specialist—walks through why low thyroid function is often missed, even when people have classic symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, anxiety/depression, constipation, cold hands/feet, diffuse pain, hair loss, and high cholesterol. He explains the basics of thyroid hormones (T4 and T3), and why many people don’t feel better if they’re only evaluated or treated based on limited testing.

He focuses heavily on conversion problems—where T4 does not effectively convert to active T3—pointing to stress, liver function, and gut health as common bottlenecks. He also frames Hashimoto’s thyroiditis as the most common driver of hypothyroidism and says it can show up early through antibody testing (TPO and thyroglobulin antibodies) before standard labs flag an issue.

He closes with what he considers a “complete” thyroid lab panel, how he interprets TSH differently than many conventional ranges, and simple at-home checks he uses (like basal temperature tracking). This is educational content and repeatedly implies you should work with a qualified clinician—especially before changing prescriptions or starting hormone-like supplements.

The Everyday Habits That Can Support Your Liver

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 22:34:00 -0000

Dr. Rodger Murphree—board-certified nutritional specialist and functional medicine practitioner—breaks down why liver health is a make-or-break “control center” for whole-body recovery. He explains how a sluggish or fatty liver can show up as fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, weight gain, and chemical sensitivity, because the liver has to process what you eat, drink, breathe, and absorb through your skin. He also connects liver function to hormones and metabolism, including why poor liver performance can blunt thyroid activation (T4 to T3) and disrupt how the body handles cholesterol and estrogen balance.

From there, he zooms in on the gallbladder and bile flow. He explains what bile does (digesting fats and supporting nutrient absorption), how gallbladder trouble can show up in stool changes (including “floaters”), and what gallstones are and why they can trigger sharp right-side abdominal pain, nausea, fever, and jaundice. He then lays out a practical approach focused on food and supplement supports he commonly uses—like milk thistle, turmeric/curcumin, dandelion, artichoke, and digestive aids such as enzymes or ox bile (especially for people without a gallbladder).

He closes with the core drivers of fatty liver he emphasizes—excess body weight and high-fructose intake (especially from processed foods and sweet drinks)—and a simple, repeatable plan built around cutting fructose load, rebuilding antioxidant capacity (glutathione support using NAC and diet), and improving daily “throughput” via movement, sweating, and consistent sleep. This training is educational and encourages working with a qualified healthcare professional before starting supplements, changing prescriptions, or acting on symptoms that could require urgent care.

Deep Restorative Sleep: The Protocol That Works

Fri, 12 Dec 2025 13:30:00 -0000

Dr. Rodger Murphree—board-certified nutritional specialist and functional medicine practitioner—breaks down why deep, delta-wave restorative sleep is a non-negotiable foundation for healing across chronic conditions. He explains how long-term poor sleep can worsen fatigue, pain sensitivity, brain fog, mood issues, and inflammation, and why the brain’s nighttime “cleanup” (glymphatic function) depends on consistent deep sleep. He also cautions that many prescription sleep aids can knock you out without reliably restoring deep sleep, and emphasizes working with a clinician to taper medications safely rather than stopping abruptly. From there, he lays out a practical, stepwise framework: sleep hygiene that starts in the morning (consistent wake time + sunlight), tightening caffeine/alcohol timing, dialing in a darker sleep environment, and reducing light exposure at night. He then walks through a supplement decision-tree he uses with patients—starting with sublingual melatonin, and for fibromyalgia cases, prioritizing 5-HTP first (then layering melatonin if needed). If stress, “second wind,” or 3am wake-ups persist, he discusses adding calming supports like GABA and L-theanine (including his “Delta Sleep” blend approach) to help fall asleep faster and get back to sleep without a hangover effect. He closes with lab considerations that commonly get missed in standard care—vitamin D targets, thyroid antibodies, iron/ferritin, and calcium/PTH when indicated—plus practical troubleshooting for restless legs, night waking, hydration timing, and blood sugar swings. This training is educational and encourages working with a qualified healthcare professional before starting supplements, changing prescriptions, or acting on lab interpretation.

Is Mold the Missing Link in Your Chronic Illness?

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 13:30:00 -0000

Dr. Rodger Murphree—board-certified nutritional specialist, chiropractic physician, and functional medicine expert—explains why mold toxicity has become a major hidden driver of chronic illness. He breaks down the difference between simple mold allergies and true mold toxicity, how mycotoxins damage the mitochondria, trigger chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, and why one in four people are genetically more vulnerable. Using real-world fibromyalgia and chronic illness cases, he shows how symptoms like fatigue, pain, brain fog, neuropathy, mood changes, breathing problems, gut issues, and skin flares are often tied back to past or current mold exposure in homes, offices, cars, and even foods.

From there, Dr. Murphree lays out a practical framework for both investigation and treatment: how to inspect your home, when ERMI testing is superior to basic air tests, how urine mycotoxin testing works, and when professional remediation is worth the cost. He then walks through a stepwise protocol—starting with glutathione and NAC for protection, adding Saccharomyces boulardii and binders like GI Detox or MycoPul, layering in antifungals such as Biocidin and yeast formulas, then addressing sinus biofilms with colloidal silver sprays. He also discusses liver support nutrients, glutathione-supportive foods, sauna therapy, air purifiers, and strategic houseplants to reduce ongoing exposure. The training is educational and encourages working with a qualified healthcare professional before starting any mold protocol, detox regimen, or changing existing treatments.

Balancing Neurotransmitters Naturally: A Functional Medicine Approach to Anxiety, Depression, and Fibro Brain

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 13:30:00 -0000

Dr. Rodger Murphree—board-certified nutritional specialist, chiropractic physician, and functional medicine expert—explains why so many chronic illness cases have become harder to treat in the last decade and why toxic mold is often the hidden, overlooked driver. He shares how patients who once responded quickly to fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue protocols started stalling out, what he learned from mold expert Dr. Neil Nathan, and why we’re now seeing an epidemic of environmentally induced illnesses. Dr. Murphree breaks down the difference between simple mold allergies and true mold toxicity, how mycotoxins damage mitochondria, drive chronic inflammation, and trigger a “cell danger response” that can show up as fatigue, pain, brain fog, mood changes, neuropathy, gut issues, skin problems, and more—even years after leaving a moldy environment.

From there, Dr. Murphree reframes many “mystery” conditions as toxic burden problems that require detective work and a structured protocol, not just more symptom drugs. He walks through how to inspect your home and workplace, why he prefers ERMI dust testing over basic air tests, and how urine mycotoxin testing can confirm internal exposure. Then he outlines a stepwise functional medicine plan: protecting the body with glutathione and NAC, priming the gut with Saccharomyces boulardii, using binders like GI Detox or MycoPul, layering in antifungals such as Biocidin, adding colloidal silver nasal spray to clear the sinuses, and supporting detox with diet, saunas, liver support, air purifiers, and strategic houseplants. The training is educational and emphasizes working with a qualified healthcare professional for testing, interpretation, and any treatment decisions.

The Truth About Heart Disease: Cholesterol Myths, Statins, and the Real Root Cause

Thu, 06 Nov 2025 13:30:00 -0000

Dr. Rodger Murphree—board-certified nutritional specialist, chiropractic physician, and functional medicine expert—exposes what he calls the three biggest medical myths about heart disease: that cholesterol is the primary cause, that low-cholesterol diets prevent heart attacks, and that statin drugs are a safe, catch-all solution. He reframes cardiovascular risk around inflammation, metabolic health, and visceral fat, and explains why decades of cholesterol-centric thinking have not delivered the promised results.
Drawing on 34 years in practice and extensive work with complex chronic illness, Dr. Murphree walks through the roles of cholesterol, CoQ10, magnesium, omega-3s, blood sugar, blood pressure, and belly fat in heart health—then outlines dietary, lifestyle, and supplement strategies he believes can reduce risk, improve energy, and support healthier outcomes.

Episode 9: Pain, Pain, Go Away, with Guest Leslie Parran

Mon, 25 Jul 2022 19:00:00 -0000

Of all the health challenges people face one of the toughest is chronic pain.

It is a fact that if you have chronic pain, only another person with chronic pain can truly understand how it feels. For many of you, it is frustrating to know you have pain but have little hope of a diagnosis, let alone relief. Many chronic conditions such as tension headaches, fibromyalgia, IBS, migraines, and myofascial pain may be a result of CSS (Central sensitivity syndrome).

It can also cause widespread and persistent pain and pain from touching (allodynia). This is one of many causes of pain. But there are numerous other causes that are often missed or mistreated. In an individual without chronic pain, receptors in our ligaments, muscles, skin, and joints detect tissue damage. This damage can be from inflammation, injury, or disease. Numerous neurotransmitters that exist in each cell send electrical impulses from the pain receptor, through the peripheral nerve, up the spinal cord, finally ending at your brain.

When you suffer an injury, you may develop acute or “short-term” pain from inflammation or damage. Eventually, the acute pain subsides though the length of time it takes to heal varies based on your injury. The cause of acute pain is known and, therefore, the course it will take is usually predictable. If you think about a needle pricking your finger, you can see that the sensation is always the same. The pain goes from your finger, up your arm, and to your brain in relatively the same way. This is not the case with chronic pain.

Episode 8: Supporting Your Gastrointestinal Health, with Guest: John Dempster

Tue, 19 Apr 2022 04:00:00 -0000

Bloating, Gas, Constipation, Loose Bowel Movements, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Heartburn

One estimate is that 40% of the US population has some degree of esophageal reflux, with 20% of adults complaining of weekly episodes of heartburn and 7–10% complaining of daily symptoms. Esophageal reflux occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter malfunctions, allowing the backward flow of acid, bile, and other contents from the stomach into the esophagus.

Fortunately there are some tried and true NATURAL remedies for heartburn.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Over 40 million Americans who have been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), bowel movements are an important topic. Some experts report that irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) affects approximately 10–20% of the general population. Irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by a group of symptoms in which abdominal pain or discomfort is associated with a change in bowel pattern, such as loose or more frequent bowel movements or diarrhea, and/or hard or less frequent bowel movements or constipation.

Gender plays a clear role as more than 80 percent of IBS patients are women between 20 and 55 years old. The financial burden of IBS is high. In the United States IBS results in an estimated $8 billion in direct medical costs and $25 billion in indirect costs annually.

Again, fortunately there are some proven natural remedies for IBS. We discuss these in the podcast.

Episode 7: with Guest Inna Topiler

Mon, 11 Apr 2022 21:00:00 -0000

Could your chronic pain, fatigue, weight gain, headaches, anxiety, depression, IBS, brain fog, high cholesterol, and other symptoms be from low thyroid function?

In fact, low thyroid function is a common cause of theses numerous other unwanted symptoms.

And unfortunately conventional “standard” blood tests (TSH and Total T4) aren’t thorough enough to catch low thyroid problems.

In this podcast, I’m going to share the importance of optimal thyroid function.

The symptoms associated with hypothyroidism.
How too properly diagnosis a problem with your thyroid.
How you can self-test to uncover if you have a low thyroid function.
And most importantly proven protocols for correcting low thyroid to boost your mental and physical energy, reduce or eliminate chronic pain, anxiety, depression, excess weight, headaches, high cholesterol, brain fog, IBS, and more.

It’s estimated that 1% of the population is suffering from hypothyroidism. This number is widely disputed. *Many scientist, researchers and physician’s believe as many as 40% of the population has hypothyroidism. Every cell in the body depends on having enough thyroid hormone. If your thyroid gland becomes dysfunctional, every cell in the body suffers.

About My Guest, Inna Topiler:

Inna is the Founder of Complete Nutrition and Wellness – an integrative nutrition practice – and the host of Health Mysteries Solved Podcast.
Inna is also the Co-Founder of Pregnaceuticals, a prenatal nutrition line and the Co-Founder of My Custom Cleanse.

As a little girl, she remembers always being sick and not feeling well. By 20, she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, suffered from several digestive disorders, had major skin issues and was chronically exhausted. With all those issues though, doctors were not able to tell her where they came from or offer many treatments aside from heavy duty medications.
She did not want to commit to a lifetime of drugs only to treat her symptoms. After many stops to a myriad of specialists (who by the way never talked to each other) and several years of frustration and feeling like she was not any closer to discovering answers, she found a clinical nutritionist and a functional medicine practitioner that helped her figure out the root causes of her issues and how they were all interrelated. She learned she had major mercury toxicity (she has 16 amalgams and was vaccinated twice after moving to America at the age of 9), her adrenals were shot, her thyroid was not supported properly, she had parasites and candida, she was sensitive to gluten and dairy and had a multitude of vitamin and mineral deficiencies all leading to the health ailments she was experiencing.

She was so impacted by her recovery that she changed her career. After her original business degree, Inna completed a master’s program in human nutrition at the University of Bridgeport and went on to complete a food based program at the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. She got certified as a nutrition specialist by the American College of Nutrition and constantly maintains her degree with various courses to stay current with the newest research and continually expands her knowledge.

Since starting her practice in 2006, she has helped thousands of patients get to the root of their underlying health issues and reclaim their health. Inna has been featured in various publications such as Fitness, Elle and the New York Times and is often referred by various medical doctors who seek her help. She is sought after not only in New York but also nationally and internationally. With the ease of phone consultations, Inna works with patients all over the globe.

Episode 4: with Guest Dr. Madiha Seed

Mon, 07 Feb 2022 21:00:00 -0000

I’ve said for years the key for life long good health is teaching our children what it means to be healthy. I can’t think of a better podcast to start the year off right than with Dr. Madiha Saeed sharing her passion for helping families get healthy and stay healthy.

Madiha is a dynamo of positive energy. How refreshing to see a conventionally trained MD, be so passionate about holistic health. I wish Jill and I had had access to a holistic physician when my kids were younger. We had to educate ourselves and come up with strategies for raising our kids to be health oriented thinkers and eaters.

Our first born, Dakotah didn’t have processed sugar until her fifth birthday. It must have been a treat since she face planted into her cake and emerged with a smile and a face full of cake.

My kids have grown up without ever eating at McDonald’s or other fast food restaurants. They rarely if ever drink sodas.

None of us are perfect. Nor should we be. A treat here and there is fine. Harris loves sweets! Ridge loves ice cream and Jill loves but rarely eats baked goods (she’s gluten intolerant).We’ve mellowed over the years. I think that happens when you’re on number three.

However, all my children understand the importance of eating healthy and making good choices. They aren’t perfect but they get the big picture.

Being healthy and staying healthy is a real advantage in life, something not to be taken lightly. Eating healthy is an investment that repeatedly pays dividends over a lifetime. I enjoyed spending time with Dr. Saeed. I think you will too.

About My Super Healthy Human Podcast, Guest Speaker: Dr. Madiha Saeed
Born and raised in Illinois, I completed my residency in South Bend, Indiana, after which, I joined an integrative medical practice. There, I witnessed firsthand the struggles each patient encountered, and their frustration in not knowing where to begin.

With my team, which included a nutritionist, psychotherapist, exercise physiologist, chiropractor, acupuncturist and other physicians, I was determined to get to the root cause of disease for each patient and myself.

Not only did I have the joy of witnessing hundreds of success stories thanks to a holistic approach, I experienced firsthand the power of healing as I lost 50 pounds and beat hypothyroidism, eczema, sebhorrheic dermatitis, acne, fatigue, alopecia, joint pain, weight and digestive issues, all while balancing a growing family and work!

In 2015, I moved to my hometown and established my own practice. When I wasn’t with patients, I was researching, pulling together the puzzle pieces of true holistic health care. If I as a physician was confused, how could those suffering all over the world find healing?

After four years of study, I took matters into my own hands and wrote The Holistic Rx: Your Guide to Healing Chronic Inflammation and Disease. It became a #1 best seller in multiple categories on Amazon, interpreting the best of holistic, functional and integrative medicine in ONE source for over 70 conditions across the lifespan.

My enthusiasm for holistic health only continues to grow. Years of study and interactions with patients have transformed my life as a doctor, coach, wife and mother. My crazy life at home is filled with five young, very active boys (four sons and a husband), a daily reminder of my passion: helping families heal and prevent disease, despite a crazy and busy schedule.

Episode 3: Stress & Trauma, with Dr. Aimie Apigian

Thu, 23 Dec 2021 19:00:00 -0000

Most of us can handle the ups and downs of our daily lives, even the occasional catastrophe. We dig in our heels, persevere, and eventually learn to cope. “Stress” is experienced when a person perceives that the demands made upon her exceed the mental, physical, personal, or social resources she is able to mobilize.

Some individuals have an altered stress-coping system, which prevents them from managing daily stress. For example, studies suggest that cumulative effects of physical, mental, chemical, or emotional burdens in early childhood disrupt normal homeostatic stress-coping abilities, thus making them more susceptible to the effects of stress – and illness – later in life. (A possible reason for this is an overstimulation or dysfunction of the HPA axis in the brain, which is discussed in detail below.) In fact, retrospective studies show that people who have been emotionally, physically, or sexually abused as children are at great risk of developing certain symptoms, including many associated with FMS.

As they get older, have more responsibilities, and experience an increase in their daily stress, they often find their health beginning to suffer. They may start to have bouts of anxiety and depression, or perhaps they’re just tired all the time. They become extremely vulnerable to major stressors: going off to college, starting a new demanding job, the death of a loved one, chronic illness, invasive surgery, physical trauma, et cetera. Like a ticking time bomb, it’s only a matter of time before they explode. This is especially true for those who have a genetic predisposition to suffer the ill effects of daily stress, for example, reduced levels of serotonin – the hormone that regulates mood. Sadly, I find that many of my FMS patients have experienced at least one form of abuse as a child. Of course, the stress doesn’t have to begin in childhood in order to seriously impact our health. For example, physical or emotional abuse from a partner or spouse creates a stressful situation that, over time, depletes their stress-coping chemicals and lead to a state of disease. The symptoms of fatigue, pain, poor sleep, poor digestion, irregular bowel movements, mental confusion, poor memory, anxiety, and depression are all warning signs that these chemicals (including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, and hormones) have become deficient. These deficiencies then complicate one another until the body’s homeostatic mechanism and HPA axis become dysfunctional. The straw that breaks the camel’s back may come after years of a stressful marriage, work environment, illness, financial challenges, or from a sudden traumatic event like a surgery, death of a loved one, or physical and or mental trauma. Once broken, the body isn’t able to right itself. Chronic poor health becomes the norm.

Episode 1: Inside Out Healing of the Thyroid, with Dani Williamson

Wed, 10 Nov 2021 20:00:00 -0000

Do you have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis?
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the number one cause of low thyroid function.

Symptoms of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis include anxiety, depression, fatigue, high cholesterol, weight gain, achy pain, brain fog, migraine headaches, chronic sinus infections, high cholesterol, poor immune function, hair loss, cold hands and feet, and constipation.

Often triggered by chronic stress, anemia, viruses, gluten intolerance, food allergies, low vitamin D, and immune system imbalance this thyroid condition can cause numerous unwanted symptoms including:

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in the United States. It is named after the first doctor who described this condition, Dr. Hakaru Hashimoto, in 1912. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is a condition caused by inflammation of the thyroid gland. It is an autoimmune disease, which means that the body inappropriately attacks the thyroid gland–as if it was foreign tissue.

Conventional doctors rarely test for this disease causing millions to suffer needlessly.
