    146 | Type 2 Diabetes Isn’t the Problem—It’s the Symptom with Dr. Jade Guerra

    Type 2 diabetes may be the diagnosis—but what if it is also a symptom of deeper problems affecting the body? In this episode of The Dr. Haley Show, Dr. Michael Haley speaks with Dr. Jade Guerra about the functional medicine approach to Type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s disease, autoimmune conditions, environmental toxins, nutrition, sleep, and chronic illness. Dr. Guerra is both a Doctor of Chiropractic and a Family Nurse Practitioner with nearly 35 years of experience. Instead of applying the same treatment plan to every patient, she investigates the individual metabolic, hormonal, digestive, environmental, and lifestyle factors that may be interfering with that person’s health. She explains why a diagnosis often develops years—or even decades—before it is discovered and why simply controlling a laboratory number may not address the underlying cause. DR.

She is both a Doctor of Chiropractic and a Family Nurse Practitioner, with advanced education in functional medicine, blood chemistry, brain neurotransmitters, and thyroid health.

    144 | The Ghost In My Body with Author Haresh Patel

    Can artificial intelligence help uncover what short medical appointments and isolated symptom checkers often miss? Haresh Patel joins Dr. Michael Haley to explore the mind-body connection, root-cause healthcare, and why a patient’s complete life story may contain important clues about chronic illness. Haresh spent 55 years searching for answers to a complex collection of symptoms. His journey included suspected food allergies, chronic urticaria, repeated specialist visits, expensive symptom-suppressing treatments, childhood trauma, unresolved grief, and an unexpected experience that changed the course of his health. The turning point came when practitioners stopped looking only at his current symptoms and began asking about his entire history. In this episode, Haresh explains why medical records, injuries, diet, stress, emotional experiences, major life events, and physical symptoms may need to be examined together rather than separately. He also introduces Sanare Health, an AI-assisted platform designed to help patients organize their histories into practitioner-ready summaries. Sanare Health is not intended to diagnose illness, prescribe treatment, or replace a qualified healthcare professional. Its purpose is to help patients communicate a more complete story and help practitioners recognize patterns that might otherwise remain hidden. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT: • Why complex health problems are difficult to understand during brief medical appointments • Haresh’s misdiagnosed food allergy and eventual diagnosis of chronic urticaria • The possible connections among stress, grief, emotional patterns, and physical symptoms • Why a chronological health story may reveal patterns that individual tests do not • How AI can help patients organize medical records, symptoms, treatments, and life events • Why asking the right questions is essential when using artificial intelligence • How Sanare Health is designed to support both patients and practitioners • Tinnitus, Diet Coke, candy, and recognizing personal symptom triggers • Why some processing aids and sub-ingredients may not appear on product labels • The value of considering conventional, functional, Ayurvedic, and alternative perspectives • Why Haresh encourages people to become the CEO of their own health • Learning to express grief, laughter, and emotion later in life ABOUT HARESH PATEL Haresh Patel is an entrepreneur, author, and the founder and CEO of Sanare Health. Before entering the healthcare technology space, he spent decades building Silicon Valley technology companies, including Mercatus, a private-markets financial technology platform that was acquired by State Street. His memoir, The Ghost in My Body, documents his decades-long search for health answers, the childhood loss of his mother, and the experiences that inspired his work.

    139 | Eating Disorders, Ultra-Processed Food & Gut Health: What Actually Heals the Body with Lexi

    Is ultra-processed food making mental and gut health worse—especially for kids and teens? In this episode of **The Dr. Haley Show**, Dr. Michael Haley sits down with Lexi, a real-food advocate and social media creator whose personal journey through anorexia led her to uncover a powerful truth: healing doesn’t come from ultra-processed “nutrition,” but from real food, gut health, and mindset change. This conversation isn’t about fad diets, weight loss, vegan vs carnivore, or extreme rules. It’s about stepping back and asking bigger questions about **food, mental health, gut health, faith, and long-term healing**—especially for young people. Lexi shares her experience being diagnosed with anorexia at 13, the harmful nutrition advice she was given, how gut health and serotonin affect mental health, and why so many people relapse when recovery focuses on weight instead of healing. Dr. Haley adds perspective for parents, families, and anyone concerned about how modern food systems are impacting physical and mental health—one bite at a time. In this episode: * Why ultra-processed food can make eating disorder recovery harder * How gut health affects serotonin, mood, and mental health * Why “everything in moderation” often fails people who are struggling * What *real food* actually means in simple terms * How to spot fake food at the grocery store * Better energy alternatives to energy drinks * Why kids and teens are especially vulnerable to food misinformation * How faith, purpose, and mindset play a role in healing The Dr. Haley Show is dedicated to helping you optimize your health by challenging conventional wisdom, exploring root causes, and returning to foundational principles that actually work—nutrition, gut health, lifestyle, and purpose. ### 🎧 EXCLUSIVE LISTENER PERKS Listeners may hear **exclusive coupon codes** for Haley Nutrition products, including raw aloe vera to support gut health and digestion.
