    EP 635: Understanding Your Genetics for Personalized Health with Natalie Sampson

    Could your genetics hold clues to the chronic symptoms you've been struggling to understand? In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Jannine Krause sits down with Natalie Sampson, genetic counselor and functional medicine practitioner at Golden Genetics, to explore how genetic testing can help us better understand our health, identify potential risks, and make more informed decisions about personalized care. With so many direct-to-consumer DNA tests and genetic reports available, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by conflicting information and recommendations. Natalie explains the difference between diagnostic genetics and functional genomics, why interpreting individual genes without considering the bigger picture can be misleading, and how genetics can work alongside symptoms, medical history, and conventional testing to guide care. They also discuss why genetics may be worth exploring for people experiencing unexplained chronic symptoms, histamine issues, brain fog, fertility challenges, or health changes during perimenopause and menopause. Rather than relying on a single gene or test result to determine what your body needs, this conversation highlights the value of working with qualified professionals who can interpret your results in context and help you make informed decisions about your health. In This Episode, You'll Learn The difference between diagnostic genetic testing and functional genomics. Why direct-to-consumer DNA tests and AI-generated interpretations may not tell the whole story. How genetic variations may influence histamine issues, inflammation, detoxification pathways, and medication responses. Why genetic results need to be interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory findings. How pharmacogenomics explores the relationship between your DNA and medication response. Why genetic counseling may be helpful when navigating fertility challenges and carrier screening. How family history can inform conversations about cancer, heart disease, dementia, and other inherited risks. Why perimenopause and menopause can be valuable times to reassess your health and consider a more personalized approach. How genetics can support proactive, preventive, and individualized healthcare without dictating every decision. Key Takeaways 1. Your genes are only part of the picture. Genetic results can provide useful information, but they need to be considered alongside your symptoms, lifestyle, family history, and other clinical findings. 2. More testing doesn't automatically mean more answers. A single genetic variant rarely tells the entire story. Looking at relevant genes together and interpreting them in context can help avoid misleading conclusions and unnecessary interventions. 3. Your symptoms matter. How you feel and respond to treatment is an important part of understanding your health. Genetic information can add context, but it should not replace clinical evaluation or listening to your body. 4. Genetic testing can support more personalized care. For some people, genetic counseling and testing may help clarify unexplained symptoms, medication responses, fertility challenges, or inherited health risks. 5. You don't have to make every health decision based on your genetic results. The goal of genetic counseling is to help you understand your options, ask better questions, and make informed decisions that fit your needs and circumstances. About Natalie Sampson Natalie Sampson, MS, CGC, IFNCP, works with Golden Genetics, helping individuals and healthcare providers understand genetic information and its potential role in personalized care. Her work brings together genetic counseling and functional genomics to help people explore inherited risks, chronic symptoms, fertility concerns, and individualized health strategies.

In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Dr. Mary Sanders, a chiropractor and energy medicine practitioner, to explore the connection between the body, the nervous system, emotional experiences, and personal transformation.

    EP 632: Brain Retraining, Chronic Pain & Nervous System Healing with Natalie Rivans

    What if chronic pain isn't only about what's happening in your body, but also how your brain and nervous system are responding to it? In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause chats with Natalie Rivans, co-CEO of ReOrigin, somatic practitioner, and menopause coach, about brain retraining, chronic pain, nervous system regulation, and healing. Natalie shares her own journey from working as a police officer to dealing with chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. After years of trying to find answers and manage her symptoms, she discovered brain retraining and began learning how the nervous system can get stuck in a protective pattern. Natalie also explains why you don't need to keep searching for one hidden root cause. Instead, the focus can be on what your nervous system has learned and how you respond to symptoms now. The goal isn't to pretend pain isn't there. It's to help your brain and body stop treating every sensation as a threat, so you can gradually build more safety, flexibility, and trust. What you'll learn in this episode: What brain retraining is and isn't How fear and protection are linked to chronic pain Simple ways to interrupt a stress response How poor sleep can upregulate nervous system sensitivity to pain Connect with Natalie and ReOrigin: Visit ReOrigin to learn more about their brain retraining and nervous system programs, community, and coaching options.

    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.

    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.

    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.
