    038v | Guest Series: Vitalism, Labs, and the Art of Listening: A Deep Dive with Dr. Brad Rachman

    Host Dr. Steve Nosworthy interviews Dr. Brad Rachman about his journey from a personal autoimmune crisis to decades in functional medicine and laboratory medicine, including his work with Genova Diagnostics. They discuss the history and evolution of functional medicine, how to choose meaningful tests, and how labs can both help and overwhelm clinicians. Topics include Dr. Rockman’s origin story with ankylosing spondylitis, high-value lab markers (complement C3/C4, MMP‑9, TGF‑β1, GGT, oxidized LDL, CD4/CD8), stealth pathogens (EBV, Coxsackie, Chlamydia pneumoniae), dysglycemia assessment (HOMA, C‑peptide), and practical testing strategy versus data overload. The conversation also covers clinical models and practice design (volume vs engagement), creating a patient roadmap and 10‑year risk analysis using AI, therapeutic priorities (diet, lifestyle, pro‑resolving mediators), and the philosophy of vitalism — trusting and stewarding the body’s innate ability to self‑regulate. Listeners can expect practical takeaways on which tests are most actionable, how to communicate with patients about symptom flares, when to prioritize lifestyle over supplements, and how to design care that restores long‑term vitality and resilience.

    032 | Guest Series: Exploring Immunoception with Drs. Scire & Melillo (Part 3)

    Why is the brain's role in immune regulation often overlooked compared to its control over the gut and hormones? Join us on Func Med Nation as we tackle this thought-provoking question with our esteemed experts Drs. Peter Scire and Rob Melillo. Together, we navigate the intriguing concept of immunosception and its vital influence on neuroimmune communication, drawing from the groundbreaking research of Kevin Tracey. As we explore the brain's impact on the immune system, we raise awareness about the critical role of neuroimmune interactions and the potential "immuno homunculus," a proposed map of these connections. Our discussion extends into the fascinating realms of interoception and brain lateralization. We uncover how the brain perceives internal bodily states to maintain homeostasis, linking these perceptions to emotional and developmental experiences. Discover how right-brain development during early childhood can influence immune function and self-tolerance, with potential implications for understanding conditions like autism and autoimmune diseases. Peter and Rob share clinical insights, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach that values clinical presentations over standard lab tests in diagnosing immune-related issues. The episode is Part 3 of a series and concludes with an exploration of the insular cortex and its role in neuroimmune interactions. We shed light on the challenges of interpreting immune responses through lab tests, especially for complex conditions. By examining real-life case studies and the intricacies of brain-immune communication, we aim to inspire Functional Medicine practitioners to deepen their understanding of this interconnected system. Join us for an enlightening conversation that bridges neuroscience and immunology, encouraging a more integrated approach to health and healing.

    030 | Guest Series: Fixing Brain Imbalances in Adults & Children w Drs. Melillo & Scire (Part 2)

    In Part 2 of my conversation with neuro-developmental experts Drs. Rob Melillo and Peter Scire we delve into how brain asymmetries develop and how they can create not only kids on the "spectrum" but adults with tendencies to anxiety, depression and OCD. We discuss Interoception and the Insular Cortex and its role in controlling immune over activation, autonomic responses and highlight how all of the Vagal activation therapies common to Func Med are really using the Vagal system to access the Insular Cortex. Stay tuned for a 3rd episode where we go deep into Immunoception and how important it is for Func Med practitioners to understand the brain balance of clients with autoimmune and neuro-endocrine-immune dysfunctions.
