    My Advanced Functional Medicine Clinician Certification: What it is and what it means to me

    In this 134th episode I detail what it too for me to earn the highest levels of certification in the Functional Medicine arena. I am officially certified as an Advanced Functional Medicine Clinician (AFMC) through the prestigious Kharrazian Institute. I will detail the curriculum, time spent studying, how this has helped shape my career and life, and how I want to put into use going forward. Hint... The next phase of my practice may end up looking a lot different! The concepts I discuss about my future practice are just that... Concepts that I am throwing around and something I was riffing on out loud in this episode. It is a work in progress. But I am excited about the future and how I may be able to help people heal and grow physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

    What is happiness? A discussion with a friend and colleague, Kit Yoon

    In this 133rd episode, I sit down again with my friend and colleague Kit Yoon. Several months ago we were chatting and got onto the topic of happiness. A big topic to say the least, and we realized there was a lot to unpack so we put a pin in it for a later time. Well, this is that later time! Our discussion was not pre-planned, or designed in any way. It was as organic and natural as it gets. The best way, in my opinion. So everything that came up here was from the heart. It was our truth. And we happily shared it with you all. Kit offers some concepts taken from the author Arthur C. Brooks regarding the "Macro and Micro Nutrients of Happiness." (Links below) And I share a writing piece that I did from a few years ago while I was exploring the concept of happiness. My writing piece does not reflect my own personal story, but rather the story of many people. It was a channel of sorts into the psyche of humanity at large. (At least from the male perspective which was used as an example in the piece.) I hope that you enjoy this philosophical discussion on one of the more fundamental concepts we humans tend to struggle with throughout our lives. Happiness....

    My Cardiology Story: Part 3 The Semi-Final Chapter

    In this 132nd episode I finish out my reporting of some cardiovascular findings and approaches to care that I have been doing for myself over the past few years. I discuss my initial and follow-up findings, discuss the potential shortcomings of and the realities of imaging and potential human error, and open up about my thoughts about my cardiovascular situation. In going through this experience I have realized that even "bad news" or when things just don't go as you would have liked for them to go, can also launch you into a much healthier place. So the notions of fear, and acceptance both interplay in our medical experiences. The trick is allowing for the information gathered in our various lab tests or imaging studies to help us make positive changes. This will likely be the last post that I do on my personal cardiovascular case study... Unless something else pops up of course! I hope you enjoyed and found some useful information along the way! It was an interesting journey, and one that I will continue in my own way.

    The Traumatic Brain Injury-Gut Wind Up

    In this 131rd episode, I discuss a topic not often considered in both mainstream and alternative medicine alike. As a functional medicine practitioner and acupuncturist I can tell you that complaints of the digestive system are all too common. SIBO, bloating, constipation, you name it, are a common chief complaint. And direct treatment for these individual concepts are most commonly employed. But in many of these cases there lurks a hidden culprit which drives these gut symptoms. The brain has more to do with your digestive system than you think and any insult to the brain has the potential to completely change how the digestive system works. It is possible that the fall off of the monkey bars you took back in elementary school, or the bike accident you had in college, is driving your leaky gut. Listen in and learn more about this connection. It could just make the difference in your chronic gut situation.

    Ordinary Modes of Consciousness: What it does and does not tell you about yourself

    In this 130th episode I dip back into the unseen areas of our existence to probe at the deeper layers of my one fundamental question: "What is wellness anyway?" Today I discuss how humans are trapped into experiencing only a small fraction of that the universe is presenting to us. We miss things which, unbeknownst to us, shape us nevertheless. So what are you missing? And how might those missing influences be shaping our perception of ourselves, or our perception of the world and those in our lives? Listen in, if you are interested in taking a slightly deeper look at yourself. And ask yourself the question: "Who are you really?"

    Chemical-Immune Sensitivity

    In this 129th episode, we delve into the complex world of immune sensitivities—exploring how they differ from allergies and intolerances, and understanding the immune system's role in these reactions. Sensitivities can be debilitating, affecting various tissues such as the gut, brain, joints, and thyroid, often leading to symptoms like inflammation, brain fog, headaches, and fatigue. We discuss common triggers like dairy, gluten, perfumes, and environmental chemicals, and explain how immune responses, particularly involving IgG, IgA, and IgM antibodies, can lead to cross-reactivity and even autoimmunity over time. Plus, we cover practical approaches to testing, gentle detox strategies, and how to support immune balance safely—especially for those with autoimmune conditions. Whether you’re seeking to identify your sensitivities or improve your overall health, this episode offers valuable insights into personalized, mindful detox and immune management.

    Don't Take Life Too Seriously

    In this 128th episode I take a moment to remind myself not to take everything so seriously. And by that I do not mean that we should all let caution fly to the wind. Rather, it is important to remember that life is a dance. It is an illusion. When we focus on the multitudes of drama that surround us, or the concern about how things will turn out in the future, or the comparison of how you measure up to that person over there... We miss the point entirely. To enjoy that deeper level of wellness that life has to offer, it is important to stay connected to what matters most. It is important to understand that we are all just spiritual beings inhabiting humanity. When we can connect with our true spirits we find that the connections we have to those things we think matter tend to melt away. It is a practice, but one worth appreciating.

    Eczema, Steroid Withdrawal Syndrome, & Chronic Illness : A chat with my patient Aubrey

    In this 127th episode I have the pleasure of sitting with my patient Aubrey to discuss her journey with chronic illness. During our conversation we discuss many aspects of her case history, current status, experiences with the medical establishment, diet, motivation to push through the hard times, and more! It is such a wonderful thing when someone opens up about their experiences, because even though we don't all have the same medical situation, we do all share similar struggles in one way or another. Hearing people's stories, hearing how they navigate the situation they find themselves in, hearing about what works for them and what does not, and even hearing how they process things emotionally... It all makes a difference for the rest of us. I want to offer my deep gratitude to Aubrey for sharing her story. I hope that it speaks to you, like it speaks to me.
