    The Spiritual Root of Anxiety Nobody Is Talking About | Madison Prewett Troutt

    Most people treating anxiety are starting in the wrong place. Madison Prewett Troutt — author, speaker, and podcast host — makes the case that anxiety, loneliness, and chronic exhaustion are primarily spiritual battles, and that no supplement or protocol will produce lasting freedom until the foundation is addressed first. **In this episode:** - Why your body is a temple and what it actually means to steward it well — physically, spiritually, and relationally - The three things every human needs to be truly healthy: connection to God, connection to people, and connection to the earth - Satan's specific strategies to keep you stuck in fear, comparison, and compromise — and how to recognize them - A real spiritual prescription for overcoming anxiety (prayer, confession, praise, gratitude, and addressing childhood trauma) - How community, marriage, and mentorship shape your health just as much as what you eat - The health habits Madison and Grant actually practice — cold plunge, infrared sauna, and the mindset behind all of it Uncover what’s really going on in your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, thyroid, and metabolism— plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor! →  http://mybloodwork.com Thank you to our sponsors!

    4 Things Killing Your Cells (And 5 Levers That Reverse It)

    Are you eating well, moving your body, and trying to sleep better — but still feeling older than you should? Stiffer joints, lower energy, and a sense that the last few years have aged you faster than the years before? That feeling has a cause, and it is not laziness or bad genetics. In this episode, we dive into why aging happens inside your cells first, and how your body catches up later. I walk through the 4 specific drivers that accelerate cellular aging and the 5 evidence-backed levers you can use to slow — and in some cases reverse — that process. Stay until the end for the clinical trial where participants did not just slow cellular aging… but after five years, they measurably turned it backward. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why your biological age — not the number on your driver's license — determines how you feel, think, and move • The 4 key mechanisms breaking down your cells right now, including telomere shortening, mitochondrial decline, slowed autophagy, and senescent cell buildup • How telomeres work like the plastic tips on a shoelace, and why emotional stress wears them down faster than almost anything else • What autophagy is, why your cellular cleanup crew slows with age, and how to switch it back on • Why resistance training is the single most powerful tool for building new mitochondria and slowing cellular aging • The specific fats that keep your cell membranes flexible and springy — and the ones that make them brittle • How deep sleep triggers growth hormone release, clears damaged proteins, and runs the brain's overnight repair cycle • The 9 blood biomarkers from a 2018 study in the journal Aging that predict longevity better than chronological age • The five-year lifestyle trial where one group lengthened their telomeres by 10% while the control group's shortened by 3% Download the FREE "Cellular Repair Guide" here: https://guide.thehealthinstitute.com/l-386 Find out what's really happening inside your body with advanced at-home biomarker testing — which includes a 60 minute consultation to review your results and learn about our cellular healing protocols at The Health Institute → http://mybloodwork.com Thank you to our sponsors!

    The Real Reason Your Gut Won’t Heal (And How Bone Broth Fixes It) | Dr. Kellyann Petrucci

    Your gut lining is thinner than you think — and that single fact may explain your skin issues, hormonal chaos, and stubborn inflammation. Dr. Kellyann Petrucci, known as the Queen of Bone Broth, joins Dr. Axe to walk through the food-based protocols she has used with patients for 30 years to heal the gut, support collagen, and ease menopause symptoms naturally. **In this episode:** - Why bone broth and collagen directly repair the gut lining — and which amino acids (glycine, proline, hydroxyproline) are doing the work - The counterintuitive reason raw vegetables can make gut problems worse, and what to eat instead when your digestion is already compromised - How the HPA axis drives hot flashes and what cortisol management actually looks like in a menopause protocol - Why blood sugar is almost always the upstream problem behind heart risk — and how metabolic flexibility through bone broth fasting addresses the root cause - The case for a “mono diet” during acute gut distress, drawn from Dr. Kellyann’s clinical experience and her time studying at a Swiss healing clinic - How spirituality, gratitude, and reducing chronic stress affect cellular healing — and why Dr. Kellyann considers this non-negotiable in practice Uncover what’s really going on in your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, thyroid, and metabolism— plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor! →  ⁠http://mybloodwork.com⁠ Thank you to our sponsors!

    7 Foods That Quiet Inflammation Better Than Supplements

    Are you taking fish oil, turmeric, greens powders, and dozens of other supplements but still waking up feeling stiff, inflamed, and exhausted? Dr. Josh Axe reveals a surprising truth: you can't supplement your way out of an inflammatory diet. In this episode, Dr. Axe explains why the foods you eat every day have a far greater impact on inflammation than any pill ever could.

You'll discover why inflammation isn't always bad, how chronic inflammation quietly fuels disease, and why the Mediterranean diet consistently outperforms supplements in scientific studies. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why inflammation is the hidden driver behind most chronic illnesses • Why whole foods outperform supplements • The truth about fish oil versus eating wild-caught fish • Why extra-virgin olive oil acts like a natural anti-inflammatory compound • How berries, pomegranates, and tart cherries help switch off inflammatory genes • Why cruciferous vegetables support detoxification and cellular repair • How fermented foods help restore the gut microbiome • The best nuts and seeds for reducing inflammation • How herbs and spices such as turmeric, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, and rosemary work together to enhance healing • Dr. Axe's blueprint for creating anti-inflammatory meals Get Dr. Axe's FREE Anti-Inflammatory Food Guide: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l14-wCcdPfx3oU3qgjlC7sLmVJcs24NO/view?usp=sharing Uncover what's really happening inside your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, inflammation, thyroid function, and metabolism—plus a one-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor. → http://mybloodwork.com Thank you to our sponsors!

    How Worship Saved His Life (After Hitting Rock Bottom) | Michael W. Smith

    In the height of a destructive season involving drugs and depression, Michael W. Smith reached a point where he believed he might lose his life. In this deeply personal conversation, he sits down with Dr. Josh Axe to share what happened the night he hit rock bottom—and why he says he was never the same afterward.

    When Clint Phillips’ young daughter suffered a stroke that left the right side of her body paralyzed, his family was told she might never walk or talk. The search for answers led him to build companies focused on medical second opinions, advanced longevity testing, AI-driven personalization and safer access to emerging therapies.   In this episode, Clint sits down with Dr. Josh Axe to discuss how to identify the doctors and health metrics that truly matter, why too much tracking can sometimes make people less healthy, and what his laboratory testing revealed about the purity of popular peptides. They also explore the measurable effects of hope, purpose, gratitude, forgiveness and spiritual grounding—and why optimizing every number on your health dashboard may still leave something essential missing.   Uncover what’s really going on in your body with advanced biomarker testing for hormones, thyroid, and metabolism— plus a 1-hour consultation with a Senior Health Advisor! →  http://mybloodwork.com   Thank you to our sponsors!
