    Your Missing Health Answers | Live Q&A Wednesdays

    Feeling dismissed by your doctor? In this episode, Nurse Doza invites you to stop Googling your symptoms and start getting real answers in a live ask me anything format. Every Wednesday at 1 PM Central, the School of Doza hosts a one-hour group consult where you can ask a functional practitioner anything — from hormones and gut health to autoimmune disorders and thyroid issues. Nothing is off limits. Try it free for one week. 👉 Start your FREE trial here: https://community.schoolofdoza.com/c/start-here 5 Key Takeaways “Normal” labs don’t mean optimal health. Conventional lab reference ranges are based on population averages — including unhealthy people. Just because you fall within range doesn’t mean your body is functioning at its best. Functional practitioners interpret labs differently to find what’s been missed. You deserve to be heard, not dismissed. Feeling sick while being told everything is “fine” is one of the most frustrating experiences in healthcare. The School of Doza exists so you never have to sit with unanswered questions again. Live ask me anything sessions beat Dr. Google every time. Instead of spiraling down symptom-checker rabbit holes, you can ask a functional practitioner directly every Wednesday at 1 PM Central. Real answers, real context, zero algorithms. Community accelerates healing. Research shows that participation in online health communities enhances patient activation and empowerment through peer support. The School of Doza connects you with others navigating the same health challenges. Nothing is off limits. Heart health, hormones, gut issues, menopause, autoimmune disorders, thyroid, Hashimoto’s — if it’s affecting your health, it’s fair game in Wednesday’s class. Bring your toughest questions.

    How To Lose Weight Without Ozempic

    Discover how to lose weight without Ozempic using 5 evidence-backed strategies. This episode breaks down why insulin resistance is the real driver of weight gain and how cutting processed foods, eating only when hungry, fasting, weight resistance training, and detoxification can help you lose weight naturally and sustain it long-term — no prescription required. FEATURED PRODUCT The Good Poops Protocol is designed to support the exact systems discussed in this episode — liver detoxification, gut health, and blood sugar regulation.  👉 Get the Good Poops Protocol here: https://mswnutrition.com/products/good-poops-protocol JOIN THE SCHOOL Every Wednesday, we host live "Ask Me Anything" sessions that function like group consults — bring your questions about fasting, detox, diet changes, labs, or anything you heard in today's episode and get answers in real time. Plus, you'll have access to recordings, live Thursday classes, and a community of people on the same journey. 👉 Start your free trial: https://community.schoolofdoza.com/c/start-here 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Insulin resistance is the root of weight gain — Ozempic works because it lowers insulin resistance, but you can target insulin naturally through diet, fasting, and exercise without a prescription. Processed foods directly drive inflammation and weight gain — NIH research confirms that highly processed foods (corn, rice, alcohol, processed sugars and oils) are linked to weight gain. Cutting them for 6–8 weeks can trigger significant fat loss. Leptin resistance keeps you stuck — When fat cells are inflamed, they overproduce leptin, which blunts your satiety signals and makes weight loss harder. Cold exposure and reducing insulin resistance can help "brown" white fat cells and restore hormonal balance. Fasting paired with weight training accelerates fat loss — Fasting reduces visceral fat, regenerates gut cells, and resets the microbiome, while resistance training activates muscle as a hormone-producing organ. Combined, they deliver greater reductions in body fat and fatty liver than either strategy alone. Liver detoxification is the missing piece — Phase I and Phase II liver detox pathways depend on glutathione, NAC, cruciferous vegetables, and key nutrients. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 START  01:08 – Why insulin regulation is the real goal in weight loss 03:16 – Strategy 1: Cut back on processed foods (C.R.A.P. foods) 05:06 – NIH research on processed foods and weight gain 07:00 – No Grains, No Sugar class results and personal experience 08:28 – Strategy 2: Eat only when you're actually hungry 09:22 – Leptin resistance explained and its role in weight gain 10:54 – How leptin, GLP-1s, and insulin work together 13:11 – Browning white fat cells and the role of adiponectin 14:27 – Strategy 3: Fasting for fat loss, gut repair, and microbiome reset 17:42 – Strategy 4: Weight resistance training and why muscle is an organ 20:35 – Strategy 5: Detoxify your body and reduce inflammation 25:12 – Phase I and Phase II liver detoxification pathways explained 31:07 – Good Poops Protocol and final recommendations RESOURCES "Eating Highly Processed Foods Linked to Weight Gain" – NIH Research Matters https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/eating-highly-processed-foods-linked-weight-gain "GLP-1 receptor agonists decrease leptin and resistin levels" – ScienceDirect https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S016882272100259X "White adipose tissue expansion, leptin resistance, and GLP-1 signaling in obesity" – PMC https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10169629/ "Polyphagia (Hyperphagia)" – Cleveland Clinic https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/symptoms/24637-polyphagia-hyperphagia "Caloric restriction, exercise, and reduction in visceral and liver fat" – PMC https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4016916/ "Gut microbiome dysbiosis and the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio in obesity" – Springer https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s43556-025-00264-9 "Fasting, intestinal mucosal renewal, and immune function" – ScienceDirect https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0966842X23000574 "Resistance training reduces body fat percentage and visceral fat in healthy adults" – PubMed https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34536199/ "Obesity, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk" – PMC https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5507106/ "Liver regeneration, glutathione biosynthesis, and glutamine metabolism" – Nature https://www.nature.com/articles/s41392-024-02104-8 "Dietary and lifestyle approaches to Phase I and Phase II detoxification" – PMC https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4488002/ CONNECT 🔗 Connect with Nurse Doza: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwcKyagDi468WscAOWM5VHA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nursedoza/ Website: http://www.nursedoza.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-mendoza-dc-aprn-np-c-0609a038/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nursedoza Twitter: https://twitter.com/nursedoza

    Fasting 101: 5 Reasons to Fast for Better Health

    Discover how fasting extends lifespan, lowers insulin and blood sugar, reduces inflammation, regenerates gut cells, and promotes autophagy. Learn the science-backed benefits of fasting and how to implement strategic fasting protocols for metabolic health, cellular repair, and longevity. Nurse Doza breaks down when and how to use fasting as a powerful health tool. FEATURED PRODUCT Mitochondriac, featuring resveratrol with quercetin and methylated forms, is designed to support mitochondrial function and mimic the beneficial effects of fasting. Research shows resveratrol activates the same pathways as fasting—AMPK, SIRT1, and PGC-1α—promoting autophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, and cellular repair. Pairing Mitochondriac with your fasting protocol enhances the metabolic benefits discussed in this episode, making fasting more sustainable and effective for longevity and energy production. 👉 Get Mitochondriac here: https://mswnutrition.com/products/mitochondriac JOIN THE SCHOOL Struggling to know how long to fast, what to eat before and after, or how to troubleshoot when a fast doesn't feel right? Inside the School of Doza, you'll join a community of people implementing fasting protocols just like you—and get direct guidance during our Wednesday "Ask Me Anything" sessions that function like group consults. Bring your questions about fasting duration, supplement timing, breaking your fast properly, or interpreting your labs while fasting. Get real-time answers and avoid common fasting mistakes. Your first 7 days are completely free. 👉 Start your free trial: https://community.schoolofdoza.com/c/start-here 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Fasting extends lifespan – Caloric restriction is the only known nutritional intervention proven to extend lifespan and reduce age-related disorders across multiple species by optimizing cellular metabolism. Fasting lowers insulin and blood sugar – After approximately 10 hours of fasting, stored glycogen is consumed and the body begins breaking down fatty acids, lowering fasting insulin levels and improving insulin sensitivity. Fasting reduces inflammation – Fasting decreases inflammatory markers including TNF-α, TGF-α, and PDGF, addressing the root cause of conditions like fatty liver, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and heart disease. Fasting regenerates gut cells – Caloric restriction increases the number of intestinal stem cells and enhances the regenerative capacity of the injured intestinal epithelium, healing gut damage at the cellular level. Fasting promotes autophagy and mitochondrial biogenesis – Fasting activates the body's cellular cleanup process (autophagy) and stimulates the creation of new, healthy mitochondria through activation of PGC-1α, AMPK, SIRT1, and NOS pathways.

    The Red Light Panel I Use Daily — Blue Light Isn't Always Bad

    This episode is powered by LightpathLED, a trusted provider of professional-grade red and blue light therapy panels. As Nurse Doza shares, he's used red light therapy every day for over six years — both in his clinic and at home — and now relies on LightpathLED's dual-wavelength panel for enhanced skin health, mood support, and cellular energy production. If you're ready to invest in a panel backed by a clinician's daily use, LightpathLED is the brand Nurse Doza recommends to his patients, family, and friends. 👉 Get your LightpathLED panel here: https://lightpathled.com/ 👉 Use code NURSEDOZA at checkout   Nurse Doza breaks down the science of red light therapy — and why not all blue light is bad. After six years of daily clinical and personal use, he reveals how his newest panel combines red and blue wavelengths for skin health, acne reduction, better sleep, mood, and energy. Learn why investing in a quality red light therapy panel is one of the smartest health decisions you can make, and how just 10 minutes a day can transform your wellness routine. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Red light therapy boosts cellular energy. It works by stimulating mitochondria to produce more ATP — your body's energy currency — which supports everything from skin repair to mood and sleep quality. Not all blue light is harmful. Therapeutic blue light (400–500 nm) used in clinical-grade panels like LightpathLED targets acne-causing bacteria and reduces oil production — a completely different mechanism than the blue light emitted by screens. Consistency is the key to results. Nurse Doza has used red light therapy every single day for six years. Even just 10-minute daily sessions compound into measurable improvements in skin, energy, stress, and sleep. Quality matters — skip Amazon. Not all panels are created equal. Nurse Doza strongly advises against purchasing cheap, unverified panels from Amazon and instead recommends investing in a trusted, clinician-approved brand like LightpathLED. Light therapy is a whole-family health tool. This isn't a single-use gadget — a quality red light panel can benefit every member of your household, from skin health and wound repair to mood regulation and longevity.

    The 5 Real Root Causes of Autoimmune Disorders

    Discover the five scientifically-backed root causes driving autoimmune disorders that traditional medicine overlooks. From vitamin D deficiency and gut damage to hidden infections, antioxidant depletion, and chronic stress—learn the framework for understanding what's really happening in your body and where to start your healing journey. (494 characters) SEO Keyword: root causes of autoimmune disorders FEATURED PRODUCT Zen – Bovine Adrenal Support When your body is battling an autoimmune disorder, your adrenal glands are working overtime to produce cortisol and combat inflammation. Zen features bovine adrenal gland extracts designed to support adrenal function, helping your body manage stress responses and maintain energy levels—critical factors when addressing the chronic stress patterns that contribute to autoimmune development and flare-ups discussed in this episode. 👉 Get Zen here: https://mswnutrition.com/products/zen JOIN THE SCHOOL Struggling with autoimmune flare-ups and feeling like you're doing everything right but still not getting better? You're not alone, and you don't have to figure this out by yourself. Inside the School of Doza, we're running a live No Grains, No Sugar class for the next six weeks—a guided experience specifically designed to remove the inflammatory triggers that drive gut issues, blood sugar instability, and autoimmune symptoms. When you eliminate grains and sugar, many people experience dramatic reductions in flare-ups within weeks. Join a community of others on the same healing journey, plus get access to our Wednesday "Ask Me Anything" sessions—live group consultations where you can get your specific questions answered about managing your autoimmune condition naturally. Start your FREE 7-day trial and experience the class for yourself. 👉 Start your free trial: https://community.schoolofdoza.com/c/start-here 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Vitamin D deficiency is the foundation of most autoimmune disorders – Your immune system IS your vitamin D levels. When vitamin D drops too low (below 50 ng/mL), your body cannot activate white blood cells properly or convert vitamin D into the anti-inflammatory hormone needed to combat chronic inflammation that develops 10-20 years before diagnosis. Gut damage creates the perfect storm for autoimmune development – Leaky gut, IBS, Crohn's, fatty liver, and gallbladder issues all compromise your digestive barrier, allowing bacteria, toxins, heavy metals, and undigested food particles to enter your bloodstream and trigger immune responses throughout your body. Previous infections never truly leave your body – Almost all autoimmune disorders are associated with at least one previous infection. Viral infections like herpes, Epstein-Barr, chickenpox, and bacterial infections like strep remain dormant in your system, building up over time and contributing to chronic inflammation when your immune system is already compromised. Your liver's antioxidant production is critical for immune regulation – Glutathione and other antioxidants made primarily in your liver control inflammation and support immune function. Fatty liver, MTHFR genetic issues, alcohol consumption, and medications all impair your liver's ability to produce these essential defense mechanisms, leaving you vulnerable to autoimmune flare-ups. Chronic stress depletes your adrenal reserves – Your adrenal glands produce cortisol and cortisone (the body's natural steroids) to reduce inflammation. Years of accumulated stress—from infections, poor diet, lack of sleep, emotional trauma, and living with an autoimmune disorder—eventually exhaust your adrenals, leaving you with nothing left to fight inflammation naturally.

    ARE GLP-1s TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE? 5 MYTHS YOU SHOULD KNOW

    Discover the truth about GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro as we debunk five major myths. Learn why these aren't just medications, the critical role of exercise, long-term use concerns, dietary requirements, and natural alternatives like Berberine that support your body's own GLP-1 production for sustainable weight loss and blood sugar management. FEATURED PRODUCT The Good Poops Protocol is your foundation for naturally supporting GLP-1 production while addressing the root cause—your gut health. This powerful combination featuring Berberine Plus, Gut Powder, and Liver Boost works synergistically to support blood sugar control, healthy digestion, and sustainable weight loss. While GLP-1 medications address symptoms, the Good Poops Protocol helps your body create its own GLP-1s naturally, supports metabolic function, and protects your liver and gallbladder during weight loss—without the long-term medication dependency. 👉 Get the Good Poops Protocol here: https://goodpoops.org JOIN THE SCHOOL Struggling with weight loss, blood sugar issues, or wondering if GLP-1s are right for you? You're not alone, and you don't have to figure it out by yourself. The School of Doza community connects you with others navigating the same challenges—from managing diabetes naturally to supporting gut health for sustainable weight loss. Our Wednesday "Ask Me Anything" sessions function like group consults where you can get personalized guidance on GLP-1 alternatives, supplement protocols, and creating a plan that works for your body. Stop spending $250/month on medications when you could invest in long-term solutions that address the root cause. Start your journey with evidence-based strategies and a supportive community. 👉 Start your free trial: https://community.schoolofdoza.com/c/start-here 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS GLP-1s Are Natural Body Compounds – Your gut naturally produces GLP-1 peptides after meals. When gut dysfunction like leaky gut occurs, your body can't make enough, leading to blood sugar issues and weight gain. Medications replace what your body should be making naturally. Exercise Is Non-Negotiable – Semaglutide can cause up to 40% lean muscle loss during weight reduction. Resistance training is essential to preserve muscle mass, maintain insulin sensitivity, and achieve sustainable weight loss—even while on GLP-1 medications. Long-Term Use Has Consequences – Studies show participants regain two-thirds of weight loss within one year of stopping GLP-1s. Higher doses and longer duration (over 26 weeks) increase gallbladder disease risk by 40%. The pharmaceutical industry benefits from lifelong dependency. Diet Still Matters – GLP-1 medications inhibit gallbladder motility and delay emptying, increasing gallstone risk. Supporting your liver and gallbladder through proper nutrition is critical during weight loss, whether using medications or natural alternatives.
