    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: Brain Health, Longevity & the Science of Pressure with Dr. Jason Sonners

    What if more oxygen isn't always better? In this episode of Root Causes, Vibrant Health, Elizabeth Tringali, PA-C, sits down with Dr. Jason Sonners, a leading researcher and educator in hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), to explore how oxygen under pressure affects inflammation, cognitive function, cellular repair, and biological aging. Drawing on his PhD research at the University of Miami and nearly two decades of clinical experience, Dr. Sonners challenges one of the biggest assumptions about hyperbaric therapy: that higher pressure always produces better results. His research reveals that different pressures can produce distinctly different biological responses, raising important questions about how HBOT protocols should be personalized. In this episode, you'll discover: Why higher hyperbaric pressure isn't necessarily betterWhat research reveals about HBOT, memory, cognitive function, and biological agingHow hyperbaric oxygen may influence inflammation and mitochondrial functionWhy oxygen cycling and air breaks may support cellular repairWhat patients typically notice after 5, 10, 20, or more sessionsHow HBOT can be incorporated into personalized longevity protocolsThe science behind combining hyperbaric oxygen with IV therapy, red light therapy, and other regenerative treatmentsCommon hyperbaric myths and what to consider before choosing a clinicFrom brain health and neuroplasticity to the emerging science of epigenetics, this conversation explores the potential of hyperbaric oxygen therapy while emphasizing the importance of individualized protocols, appropriate dosing, and continued research. About Our Guest Dr. Jason Sonners is a chiropractor, researcher, author, and educator specializing in hyperbaric oxygen therapy. He holds a PhD in molecular biology from the University of Miami and is the author of Oxygen Under Pressure. Through HBOT USA, he provides hyperbaric education and training to healthcare professionals.

    The Inflammation Code: Ayurveda, Curcumin & the Science of Healing with Dr. Shivani Gupta

    What if inflammation isn’t simply an inevitable part of aging, but a signal that your body is asking for something different? In this episode of Root Causes: Vibrant Health, Elizabeth Tringali sits down with Ayurvedic practitioner, turmeric researcher, and author Dr. Shivani Gupta to explore how the ancient principles of Ayurveda can be combined with modern functional medicine to support a more personalized approach to health. Dr. Gupta breaks down the three Ayurvedic body types, or doshas, and explains how understanding your own “elemental design” can influence the way you eat, sleep, exercise, manage stress, and support digestion. She also shares the six pillars behind her book, The Inflammation Code, including circadian rhythm, digestive health, Ayurvedic self-care practices, and the use of herbs and spices. The conversation then dives into Dr. Gupta’s specialty: turmeric and curcumin. She explains the difference between culinary turmeric and concentrated curcumin, why absorption matters, and what current research is exploring around curcumin, inflammatory pathways, gut health, brain health, metabolism, and healthy aging. Elizabeth and Dr. Gupta also discuss sleep, neuroinflammation, digestive “fire,” intermittent fasting, sugar and alcohol, and the small daily habits that may have a much bigger impact on long-term health than we realize. If you’re interested in inflammation, functional medicine, Ayurveda, longevity, or simply understanding how to work withyour body rather than against it, this episode offers a fascinating bridge between ancient wisdom and modern science.

    The Spike Protein Problem: Long COVID & Brain Health with Dr. Robin Rose

    In this episode of Root Causes, Vibrant Health, Elizabeth sits down with Dr. Robin Rose, a double board-certified gastroenterologist and internal medicine physician, to unpack one of the most complex—and controversial—topics in modern medicine: what’s really driving long COVID and the surge in chronic illness. Together, they explore the emerging science behind persistent spike protein, immune dysregulation, and the profound impact on the gut-brain connection. Dr. Rose shares cutting-edge insights from her research, including how viral remnants may continue to affect the body long after infection—contributing to brain fog, chronic fatigue, microclotting, and even neurodegenerative changes. This conversation goes far beyond surface-level explanations. You’ll learn: Why long COVID may be affecting far more people than we realize The role of the microbiome and bacteriophages in ongoing illness How microclots and vascular damage may be impairing oxygen delivery to the brain and organs The connection between spike protein, autoimmunity, and neurological symptoms Why conventional testing often misses the full picture Functional medicine strategies to support detoxification, immune resilience, and recovery Dr. Rose also breaks down advanced testing methods, emerging treatment approaches—including gut-focused protocols, botanicals, peptides, and ozone therapies—and what clinicians and patients should be paying attention to now. If you’ve felt “off” since COVID—or you’re seeing a rise in complex, hard-to-treat conditions in your practice—this episode offers a deeper framework for understanding what may be happening beneath the surface.

    Can We Slow Aging? Rapamycin with Dr. Matt Kaeberlein

    In this episode, Elizabeth Tringali sits down with Dr. Matt Kaeberlein, a leading aging researcher focused on the mechanisms that drive aging, including mTOR signaling and the drug rapamycin. Matt breaks down what mTOR actually is (and why it matters), why longevity medicine requires evidence and comfort with uncertainty, and what we can realistically conclude from animal data vs. human data. You’ll hear a clear, science-first conversation on rapamycin: immune modulation vs. “immune suppression,” common side effects, why weekly dosing is different than transplant dosing, and what early findings suggest for APOE4 carriers, post-viral syndromes like long COVID, and chronic inflammation. They also zoom out to the foundations Matt believes move the needle most: the four pillars he uses at OptiSpan (eat, move, sleep, connect), plus practical guidance on protein, fiber, CGMs, and why fear-based wellness marketing is a problem. Finally, Matt shares an update on the Dog Aging Project’s randomized rapamycin trial—one of the most fascinating real-world studies in the field—and what he expects the next 20 years of longevity medicine to look like.
