    EP 631: What We're Overlooking About Chronic Pain After 40

    Why does chronic pain, stiffness, tension, and injury seem to become more common as we get older? In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause explores the connection between chronic pain, circulation, gut health, hormones, nutrition, movement, and the nervous system. While hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can contribute to aches and joint discomfort, learn why estrogen may not be to blame for every ache and pain. Dr. Krause draws from nearly 20 years of working with women over 40 to help you explore how circulation and other foundational aspects of health may influence pain and recovery. In this episode you'll learn: Overlooked reasons for why chronic pain and injuries can increase during perimenopause and menopause The connection between circulation and pain How gut and liver health may affect tension, pain and inflammation in the body Why sitting, lack of movement, and past injuries can contribute to tension The role of nitric oxide, nutrition, oxygen transport, and nutrient deficiencies in recovery How myofascial release, acupressure, tapping, and gentle stretching may help reduce tension Why chronic pain stresses out the nervous system What you likely haven't heard about stress, emotions, and tension held in the body How mitochondrial health declines over 40 and it's role in energy and recovery Simple myofascial techniques for the jaw, neck, shoulders, and other areas of tension The Big Takeaway Pain isn't always just about the place that hurts. It's key to look at the whole body, including circulation, digestion, movement, nutrition, past injuries, stress, and nervous system regulation, when trying to understand your chronic pain and tension. Get on the waitlist for Dr. Jannine's upcoming acumyofascial release workshops, designed to help people work with specific areas of pain and tension.

    EP: 630 - What my 90-Year-Old Dad Can Teach Us About Longevity, Staying Active & Living Well

    What if living a long, healthy life has less to do with expensive treatments and more to do with staying active, staying connected, and continuing to find reasons to enjoy your life? In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Jannine sits down with a very special guest: her 90-year-old dad. From building decks and working in the garden to racing cars, restoring old trucks, going to the local bar to catch up with friends, and simply staying busy, Jannine's dad has built a life around movement, purpose, curiosity, and community. Together, they talk about what it's really like to grow older, the lessons he learned throughout his life, and the habits and mindset that have helped him stay remarkably mobile and active at 90. He also shares stories about growing up during World War II, working in construction and excavation, racing motorcycles and cars, learning through experience, losing his wife, and finding ways to keep moving forward. It's a funny, honest, and heartfelt conversation about aging well and making the most of the life you have. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why staying active throughout life can help you maintain mobility as you age The importance of continuing to use your body instead of becoming afraid of movement How having daily goals and projects can give you purpose Why community and social connection can be such an important part of a fulfilling life What Jannine's dad learned from working, building, racing, and simply doing things himself How listening to other people's stories can teach you more than you might expect Why learning from your mistakes and taking responsibility matters at every age How he approaches aches, pains, and the changes that come with getting older His perspective on losing his wife and continuing to build a meaningful life Why finding work you enjoy can make a difference in your overall quality of life His simple philosophy on getting older: keep moving, keep doing, keep learning, and don't give up A Few of His Longevity Lessons You don't need an expensive routine to live well. Get outside. Stay active. Have something to work toward. Spend time with people. Learn from others. Find things you enjoy. And when life gets difficult, keep going. At 90, Jannine's dad is still gardening, working on projects, staying connected with friends, and finding ways to keep his body moving. His philosophy is simple: "If you want a longer life, don't give up."

    Ep 629 - The Surprising Benefits of Rebounding for Your Body, Brain & Longevity with Steve Carver

    What if one of the most fun workouts could also support your balance, bones, pelvic floor, lymphatic system, nervous system, and overall longevity? In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine sits down with Steve Carver, aka Mr. Bouncer, a fitness professional with more than 30 years of experience and a longtime expert in trampoline-based fitness with JumpSport. What started as an unexpected introduction to JumpSport eventually became Steve's specialty: helping people understand just how versatile a rebounder can be. And this isn't just about jumping up and down. A rebounder can be used for gentle workout, strength training, balance work, plyometrics, sports-specific conditioning, HIIT, and even ski training. Dr. Jannine and Steve dive into why bouncing may be worth adding to your movement routine, especially as you get older. In This Episode, You'll Learn: How rebounding supports balance, strength, and coordination Why gentle bouncing may benefit lymphatic flow and pelvic floor health How rebounding can support bone health and agility Why 5–10 minutes of movement is all it takes to make a difference How to adjust your bounce for gentle movement or higher-intensity workouts Using rebounding for ski training, HIIT, and sport-specific conditioning Why the lymphatic system loves movement Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system doesn't have its own pump. Movement and muscular contractions help move lymphatic fluid through the body. Steve explains how the compression and release created through bouncing may help encourage lymphatic flow, making gentle bouncing a simple and enjoyable way to incorporate movement into your routine. The fun factor matters One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation? The best exercise is the one you'll actually do. Steve shares why he believes enjoyment is such an important part of movement. If you hate the exercise you're doing, your brain will eventually find a reason to avoid it. But when movement makes you smile, feel energized, and actually look forward to exercising, consistency becomes a whole lot easier. Meet Steve Carver Steve Carver, aka Mr. Bouncer, has more than 30 years of experience as a fitness professional, trainer, stunt performer, and trampoline fitness expert. His background includes competitive sports, extreme sports, skiing, acrobatics, stunt work, and training clients in the entertainment industry. Today, Steve works with JumpSport to help people discover the many ways a rebounder can be used for fitness, wellness, balance, conditioning, and more.

    Ep 628 - Mold, Mycotoxins & Your Home: How to Find Hidden Problems and Remediate Them with Jason Richards

    Could your home be making you sick? In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Jason Richards, founder and owner of Pure Health Mold Inspections, to talk about one of the most frustrating and overlooked contributors to chronic health issues: mold exposure in the home. Dr. Jannine knows this topic personally. After dealing with mold issues in two different homes and helping clients navigate suspected mold exposure, she understands how difficult it can be to get clear answers. Many people experience symptoms that seem impossible to explain, only to be told that their home is fine after standard air testing comes back negative. But according to Jason, air testing alone may not tell the whole story. Together, Dr. Jannine and Jason dive into what comprehensive mold testing should look like, why surface testing can be so important, how mold and mycotoxins can remain in the home even after visible mold is gone, and why simply killing mold isn't enough. They also discuss the structural and environmental issues that can contribute to recurring mold problems, including humidity, poor ventilation, crawl spaces, attics, HVAC systems, water drainage, and tightly sealed homes. If you've been dealing with unexplained symptoms, suspect your home may have a mold problem, or have been told your testing is negative despite ongoing concerns, this episode will help you better understand what to look for and what questions to ask. In This Episode, You'll Learn: The mold testing challenges and how ERMI and PCR-based testing can help identify mold species Why standard air testing isn't enough & what a comprehensive mold inspection looks like What mycotoxins are and why removing mold is different from simply killing it Why small mold fragments and contamination can remain after remediation The structural issues and ventilation that commonly contribute to mold growth How humidity, crawl spaces, attics, plumbing leaks, and HVAC systems can become problem areas What an ERV system is and how it can improve indoor air exchange Connect with Jason Richards Jason Richards is the founder and owner of Pure Health Mold Inspections. His work focuses on helping people identify potential mold and environmental issues in their homes through comprehensive inspection and testing strategies. Jason has worked closely with functional medicine practitioners and understands the connection between environmental exposure and the health concerns many patients experience. His approach focuses on evaluating the home as a complete system and helping clients better understand potential sources of moisture, mold, and environmental contamination. https://www.purehealthmold.com/ Connect with Dr. Jannine Krause Check out Dr. Krause's Website for more resources and subscribe for more conversations on functional medicine, longevity, brain health, hormones, nutrition, and natural strategies to optimize your health.

    Ep 626: Zeolite Coach, Jeff Hoyt talks all about Zeolite, Detox & the Dosing Paradox

    What if the key to a more effective detox isn't taking less—but taking the right amount? In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Jeff Hoyt, founder of Zeolite Labs, to take a deep dive into zeolite, detoxification, binders, and why the way you dose a binder may dramatically affect how you feel. Jeff explains how natural clinoptilolite zeolite works as a selective "smart binder," the differences between powdered, liquid, nano, and synthetic zeolite, and why quality and particle size matter. He also shares his controversial "dosing paradox"—the idea that, for some people, microdosing zeolite may actually trigger more detox reactions than a higher dose. They also explore detox reactions, nervous system sensitivity, gut health, EMFs, heavy metals, testing, and how supporting the body's overall health may be more important than aggressively targeting a single toxin. In This Episode, You'll Learn: What zeolite is and how it supports detoxification The "swap and drop" mechanism and why zeolite is considered a selective binder Natural vs. liquid, nano, and synthetic zeolite Why purity, particle size, and quality matter The surprising "dosing paradox" and why more may sometimes be better than microdosing Detox reactions, nervous system sensitivity, and how to minimize them Zeolite's potential role in gut health, heavy metals, and EMF sensitivity How to approach testing and support your body's natural detox pathways Key Takeaway Detoxification isn't necessarily about pushing harder or tolerating more symptoms. As Jeff explains, the goal is to support the body's ability to move unwanted compounds out without overwhelming the system in the process. If you're curious about zeolite or have struggled with detox reactions in the past, this conversation offers a deeper look at how binders work—and why the dose, quality, and form of the product matter. Note: This episode discusses information and experiences shared by the guest and is intended for educational purposes. Detox protocols and supplements should be considered in the context of your individual health needs and, when appropriate, with guidance from a qualified healthcare professional. Connect with Jeff Hoyt Jeff Hoyt is a wellness educator and the founder and President of Zeolite Labs LLC . Transitioning from a background running alternative wellness clinics, he now focuses on mineral-based detoxification and is the creator of the dietary supplement ZeoCharge™. As host of The Detox Experience Podcast, Hoyt is best known for pioneering his "Higher Dose Theory," which advocates for unconventional zeolite dosing protocols to help people target heavy metals, mold, and environmental toxicants. https://www.thezeolitecoach.com/ Instagram: @ZeoliteLabs Connect with Dr. Jannine Krause Check out Dr. Krause's Website for more resources and subscribe for more conversations on functional medicine, longevity, brain health, hormones, nutrition, and natural strategies to optimize your health.

    Ep 625: Kim Rogers, "The Worm Queen" reveals a major source of parasite infections

    What if the symptoms you've been struggling with have a deeper root cause? In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Kim Rogers, aka "The Worm Queen," to explore parasites, environmental toxins, mold exposure, detoxification, herbs, mushrooms, and the complex factors that can influence chronic health symptoms. Kim spent more than 20 years working in Western medicine before her own health challenges, including endometriosis, Lyme disease, mold exposure and suspected parasite issues sent her searching for a different approach. Her personal healing journey ultimately led her to co-found RogersHood Apothecary and create the ParaFy Parasite Cleanse Kit. Kim shares what she learned about parasites, environmental exposures and the importance of understanding the body's detoxification pathways. She also explains why she believes herbs work best as synergistic combinations, why supporting the immune system and detox pathways matters, and why becoming your own health advocate can be one of the most important steps in a healing journey. We also dive into the controversy and questions surrounding parasite testing, water quality, mold, environmental toxins and the symptoms that can overlap with other chronic health conditions. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Kim Rogers' journey from Western medicine to herbal medicine What led Kim to investigate parasites and environmental toxins Her experience with water contamination concerns in Washington State Why parasite symptoms can overlap with many other chronic health issues The importance and limitations of parasite testing How mold, toxins and other environmental exposures may complicate chronic symptoms The potential role of mushrooms and immune support Why supporting the nervous system is important during a healing journey How to approach detoxification gently rather than overwhelming the body Resources From The Show: Meet Kim Rogers — The "Worm Queen" Kim Rogers is a wellness professional with more than 20 years of experience in Western medicine.

    Ep 624: Naturopathic Medicine, Acupuncture & Whole-Person Healing with Dr. Kerry Niebrzydowski & Dr. Sara Norris

    What happens when you stop treating the diagnosis and start treating the person? In this special back-to-back episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with two fellow naturopathic doctors to explore the power of personalized, integrative medicine. First, Dr. Jannine talks with Dr. Kerry Niebrzydowski, a naturopathic doctor and licensed acupuncturist, about the unique ways naturopathic medicine and Chinese medicine can work together to support the body. Then, in the second half of the episode, Dr. Jannine sits down with Dr. Sara Norris, ND, a naturopathic doctor specializing in women's health, pediatrics, skin health, digestive health, and hormonal health. Together, these conversations explore why there is no one-size-fits-all approach to health, how acupuncture can influence the body's patterns of imbalance, the importance of nervous system regulation, and why collaboration between conventional and naturopathic providers can give patients more comprehensive care. From Lyme disease, mold exposure, chronic pain, hormones, PCOS, menopause, allergies and immune health to sleep, nutrition, stress, movement, and nervous system regulation, this episode offers a fascinating look at what personalized naturopathic care can look like. If you've ever wondered what naturopathic doctors actually do, how acupuncture fits into modern healthcare, or what it means to truly treat the whole person, you'll want to listen to both conversations. Timestamps 00:00 — Welcome 07:25 — Dr. Kerry: Acupuncture & Natural Medicine 12:12 — Blending Chinese Medicine and Naturopathy 19:14 — Integrative Care and Community Referrals 23:25 — Northwoods Health, Lyme, and Herbal Care 25:34 — Immune Support and Allergy Tips 29:34 — Beadwork, Breathing, and Martial Arts 34:02 — Dr. Sara: From Finance to Naturopathic Medicine 37:23 — Inside an Integrative Health Clinic 43:10 — Root-Cause Care for Adults and Kids 50:25 — Sleep, Weight, and Blood Sugar 57:22 — Vitamin D, Sunlight, and Daily Health Habits 60:49 — Dr. Sara's Foundational Health Advice In This Episode You'll Learn ✔️ How naturopathic medicine and acupuncture can work together ✔️ Why personalized healthcare is so important ✔️ How acupuncture may help communicate signals to the body ✔️ The role of Chinese medicine in addressing underlying patterns of imbalance ✔️ How nervous system regulation can influence your overall health ✔️ The connection between mold exposure, stress and the nervous system ✔️ How naturopathic doctors approach complex conditions like Lyme disease ✔️ Natural strategies for supporting immune health and seasonal allergies ✔️ Why collaboration between conventional and naturopathic providers matters ✔️ Dr. Sara's perspective on women's health, hormones and integrative care ✔️ Why sleep deserves more attention when you're struggling with your health ✔️ How blood sugar, nutrition and lifestyle can influence energy and wellbeing ✔️ Why environmental exposures deserve consideration in a comprehensive health approach ✔️ How movement, breathing, creativity, laughter and community can support nervous system health Key Takeaways Your diagnosis is not your entire health story. Whether you're dealing with chronic illness, hormone changes, Lyme disease, digestive problems, sleep issues, or simply trying to optimize your health, these conversations highlight one important principle: Your care should be as individual as you are. Dr. Kerry and Dr. Sara approach naturopathic medicine from different perspectives and areas of expertise, but both conversations come back to the importance of looking at the whole person rather than reducing someone to a symptom or diagnosis. From acupuncture and Chinese medicine to functional testing, nutrition, lifestyle, nervous system support, and collaboration with conventional medicine, there are many pieces that can contribute to a more complete picture of health. Sometimes the most important question isn't "What should I take?" It's: "What is my body trying to tell me?"
