    In this episode of Rethink My Health Radio, Dr. Gez Agolli sits down with Dr. Kristine Blanche, integrative health practitioner and advisor to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health at the NIH, to explore one of the most important conversations in modern healthcare — why chronic disease is rising and how prevention must become the priority. This discussion challenges the idea that genetics alone determine your health. Instead, Dr. Blanche explains how environment, lifestyle, toxins, and stress play a far greater role than most people realize. As she puts it, “genes load the gun, but the environment pulls the trigger.” Together, they dive into the shift from reactive healthcare to a more proactive, patient-empowered approach, where individuals take ownership as the CEOs of their own health. The episode also takes a deeper look at women’s health, including breast cancer prevention, hormone balance, and the impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in everyday products. Dr. Blanche discusses innovative tools like thermography for early detection, as well as the importance of supporting the body through detoxification, gut health, and personalized care. Beyond physical health, the conversation highlights the powerful connection between stress, trauma, and disease, emphasizing how chronic stress and unresolved emotional patterns can impact the immune system and overall well-being. This episode is both eye-opening and empowering — offering practical strategies to help you take control of your health and begin making meaningful changes today. --- In this episode: * Why chronic disease is increasing — and what’s really driving it * The truth about genetics vs environment in health outcomes * Why prevention and education are missing in traditional healthcare * The role of toxins, diet, and lifestyle in disease development * What every woman should know about **breast health and hormones** * How thermography can detect early physiological changes * The connection between **stress, trauma, and immune function** * Simple, actionable steps to reduce toxic exposure and support your health --- If you’re ready to move beyond symptom management and start understanding **what’s truly driving your health**, this episode will give you the clarity and direction to begin. --- About Rethink My Health Radio A weekly show sharing real stories, powerful science, and conversations that challenge conventional healthcare — so you can live healthier, longer, and more empowered. --- Subscribe & Stay Connected Website: http://www.progressivemedicalcenter.com 🎧 Listen on Spotify ▶️ Subscribe on YouTube for every new episode 📱 Follow us on Instagram & TikTok @progressivemedicalcenter @progressivemedicalctr This Is Your Life.

    You’re Eating Clean… But Still Inflamed? Here’s Why

    In this episode of Rethink My Health Radio, Dr. Gez Agolli sits down with Dr. Cheryl Burdette to uncover one of the most overlooked drivers of inflammation, weight gain, and chronic symptoms — food sensitivities. You may be eating “healthy,” counting calories, and doing everything right… yet still feel tired, inflamed, or unable to lose weight. Why? This conversation reveals a powerful truth: the quality of our food has changed — and so has the way our bodies respond to it. Due to increased toxicity, reduced nutrient density, and environmental stressors, even foods once considered “healthy” can now trigger delayed inflammatory responses in the body. Unlike food allergies, which cause immediate reactions, food sensitivities can take hours — even days — to show up, making them incredibly difficult to identify without proper testing. These hidden reactions can lead to fatigue, stubborn weight gain, digestive issues, and systemic inflammation that worsens underlying health conditions. Dr. Agolli and Dr. Burdette break down why traditional lab testing often misses these root causes — and how a functional, root-cause approach can help uncover what your body is truly reacting to. In this episode: -Why “eating healthy” doesn’t always mean you’re getting healthier -How today’s food supply is contributing to inflammation and weight gain -The difference between food allergies vs food sensitivities -Why symptoms can show up 3–72 hours after eating -How hidden inflammation impacts your metabolism and overall health -The role of toxicity and nutrient depletion in modern diets -Why identifying food sensitivities can be a game changer for healing If you’ve ever felt like your body is reacting to everything you eat — or you’re doing all the right things with no results — this episode will help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.
