    40. The Brain Health PlayBook with Dr. Trevor Berry

    Most of us will get our teeth cleaned twice this year and never think once about our brain. That's the gap Dr. Mark sits down with Dr. Trevor Berry to close in this episode. Why this episode matters: Dr. Berry is a board-certified chiropractic neurologist and co-founder of Brain Restore Centers, a fast-growing national network built around a hard fact, the changes behind conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's can start twenty to thirty years before anyone notices a symptom. By the time memory loss or brain fog shows up, the process is already well underway, and waiting for symptoms means waiting too long. What you will learn: The four foundational pillars Dr. Berry uses to protect and rebuild brain function, movement, low-level laser therapy and photobiomodulation, oxygen therapies, and nutritionWhy brain fog and fatigue deserve the same root-cause investigation as any other chronic symptom, instead of getting dismissed as normal aging or stressWhat objective testing for brain health actually looks like, from cognitive assessments to balance and blood flow markersWhy prevention has to start decades before symptoms, and what "prevention" actually looks like day to dayKey themes: Root-cause thinking applied to the brainMovement, light, oxygen, and nutrition as the real foundations of brain healthChronic stress and its long-term effect on the brainWhy one modality alone rarely gets the full resultDr. Su's perspective: Dr. Mark has known Dr. Berry for a couple of years, and this conversation grew out of watching his approach up close. What stood out most was the objective side of it, the idea that brain health doesn't have to stay subjective or vague. There are real markers you can track and real progress you can measure, and that's the same root-cause philosophy RootSeek applies to every other system in the body.

    39. Why We Built a Transparency-First Functional Medicine Podcast

    If you've ever wondered what you're actually getting when you walk through the door of a functional medicine practice, you're not alone. It's a crowded field, and there's no easy way to know what a given practitioner will actually be like until you've experienced it firsthand. Why this episode matters: In this episode, Dr. Mark Su steps back from the usual format of the show to explain exactly why the Functional Medicine Reality Podcast exists. This isn't a sales pitch and it never has been. Dr. Su built it to give people considering root-cause medicine, and specifically considering RootSeek Health, a transparent look at who they'd be trusting with their care before they ever book a visit. What listeners will learn: Why Dr. Su started this podcast, and why it was never meant to build audience or revenueHow the show is structured, rotating between professional interviews and unscripted patient consultationsWhy Mike Schrantz and Mary Jo Anderson return as recurring co-hosts, and what each brings to the showWhy the patient interviews are real, unscripted consultations, not scripted contentHow to get a free consultation with Dr. Su by sharing your story on the podcastKey moments or themes: The show's rotating format: two out of every four episodes are professional interviews, two are patient conversationsMike Schrantz as the recurring "doctor of homes," covering the intersection of environmental illness and clinical careMary Jo Anderson's ongoing story, from chronic Lyme disease to longevity optimizationThe invitation for listeners to be interviewed as patients in exchange for a free consultationDr. Su's perspective: At the six-month mark, Dr. Su reflects on the feedback the show has received and reaffirms its singular goal: helping people who've been dismissed by conventional medicine feel confident that someone finally believes them and has a plan.

    38. Christine's Story on Hormones, ADHD, and Getting Her Life Back

    You've probably been told your labs look fine while you're barely functioning. That gap, between what a lab report says and what your body is actually telling you, is exactly where this episode lives. Christine has been a patient of Dr. Su's for over fifteen years, and this conversation traces her whole arc, from years of unexplained symptoms that finally led to a Lyme disease diagnosis, through a mold reaction, and into the last five months, where three specific changes stacked together and took her vitality from a self-rated three out of ten to a consistent eight or nine. What you will learn: Why a body composition scan gave Christine real numbers instead of vague impressions, and how tracking muscle mass percentile (not just weight) became a starting point she could actually work fromHow hormone replacement therapy changed her ability to follow through on things, not just how she felt day to dayWhy properly managed ADHD medication, paired with better sleep and exercise, gave her the executive function to organize her whole routine around the other changesKey themes: What it took to finally get a Lyme disease diagnosis after over a decade of unexplained symptomsWhy gradual decline is so hard to notice and even harder to advocate for yourself againstHow several right-fit interventions, stacked together, can move the needle faster than any single one aloneDr. Su: "What stands out most in this conversation isn't any single treatment. It's the sequence. Christine had spent over a decade working through Lyme and mold before we ever got to hormones and ADHD medication. Each piece mattered, and each piece needed the ones before it. That's usually how real change works. It's rarely one thing." Guest bio: Christine" is a longtime RootSeek patient whose name has been altered to protect her privacy. She works in IT and has been under Dr. Su's care for over fifteen years, through a Lyme disease diagnosis, a mold reaction, and most recently, a five-month stretch of change involving body composition testing, hormone replacement therapy, and ADHD medication management.

    37. GLP-1s: The Science Explained, A Doctor and a Patient's Real Take

    You've watched GLP-1s take over every feed, every ad, every conversation at a family gathering, and you're still not sure what to believe. Is it legit? Is it safe? Is it just the easy way out? Why this episode matters:  GLP-1s and peptides have gone from a niche diabetes medication to a full-blown cultural moment in just a few years, and the information hasn't kept up with the demand. Dr. Su and Mary Jo sit down for an honest, unfiltered conversation about what's actually happening in the body, where the confusion comes from, and why the stigma around using them deserves a second look. What you will learn: The real mechanism behind GLP-1s, and how tirzepatide differs from semaglutideWhy sourcing peptides has become what Dr. Su calls a wild west, and what that means for your safety and your walletWhere the "easy way out" stigma comes from, and why Dr. Su pushes back on it clinicallyWhat Mary Jo experienced firsthand over two years on semaglutide, including inflammation, energy, and the harder truth about what happens when you stopThe evolving research connecting GLP-1s to mast cell regulation and inflammation, beyond weight loss aloneKey themes: The gap between how GLP-1s are marketed and how they actually workStigma, gender, and the quiet judgment around using medication for weightCost, access, and how to avoid getting overcharged for microdosing or unreliable sourcingDr. Su's perspective: Dr. Su is direct about where he stands. He's seen GLP-1s change the trajectory of patients' health, not just their weight, and he's equally direct that the "did you earn this the hard way" question misses the point entirely. His focus stays on what actually helps someone get better, faster, and at a cost that doesn't take advantage of them. Guest bio, if relevant: Mary Jo Anderson is a recurring co-host of the Functional Medicine Reality Podcast, sharing her own chronic illness journey and recovery alongside Dr. Su.

    36. Doctor First or Inspector First: What to Do When You Suspect Mold Illness with Mike Schrantz

    You've read about mold. You've read about CIRS, mycotoxins, water damage, and now maybe even bacteria, and it's a lot. So you start looking into an environmental inspection, wondering if your house is behind the fatigue, the brain fog, the symptoms nobody's been able to explain. Why this episode matters: Dr. Mark Su sits down with Mike Schrantz, CIEC, one of the most connected indoor environmental professionals in the country, to talk about a pain point that shows up again and again in both their practices, patients starting their mold illness journey with an inspector before a clinician is ever involved. It's a conversation that rarely happens out loud, two professionals from different sides of the same problem comparing notes on where the process breaks down. What you will learn: Why starting with an environmental inspector before a doctor often leads to confusion, wasted money, and testing that doesn't answer the real questionThe difference between a targeted assessment and a whole-house assessment, and why that choice matters more than most people realizeWhat a clinician actually adds to the process that an inspector can't, and vice versaKey themes: The order of operations matters, clinician first, then environmental testingCost and scope decisions get a lot easier once a doctor has narrowed the focusThis is often a team effort between two professionals working toward the same goal, a patient who finally has answersDr. Su's perspective: Dr. Su has seen this pattern often enough to know it's rarely anyone's fault. Patients are doing their best with the information available to them, and that information usually points them toward testing before it points them toward a doctor who can make sense of the results. His take throughout the conversation is straightforward, if you have chronic symptoms that aren't going away and you have real concerns about your environment, it's worth having a clinician involved somewhere along the way, earlier rather than later. If this sounds like where you are right now, a Clinical First Steps Call with Dr. Su is a good next step before you spend a dime on testing. Book yours at go.rootseekhealth.com/askdrmark.

    35. Mobility vs. Stability: What Your Pain Treatment Might Be Missing, with Dr. Mike Melander

    If you've done months of physical therapy or chiropractic care and your pain still hasn't moved, you're not imagining it, and you're not doing it wrong. Something in the plan was probably missing from day one. Why this episode matters: Most pain treatment starts with the same assumption: get stronger. But strength only works within the range of motion you actually have access to. If a joint can't move the way it's supposed to move, no amount of strengthening will fix it, and in some cases, it can make things worse. Dr. Su sits down with Dr. Mike Melander, a chiropractor and Active Release Technique instructor, to explain the question almost no one asks before starting treatment. What you will learn: The difference between a mobility problem and a stability problem, and why it changes everything about a treatment planWhat "tissue quality" means, and why pain itself is an unreliable way to judge what's happening in a muscleWhy fibromyalgia and chronic Lyme patients often carry real, findable tissue issues, even when the root cause isn't musculoskeletalWhy chiropractic care and physical therapy work best together, not as competing approachesKey themes: Root-cause thinking applied to pain, not just complex chronic illnessThe overlap between structural pain and systemic conditions like Lyme and fibromyalgiaWhy "call me if you need me" is sometimes the best plan a provider can offerDr. Su's perspective: Dr. Su draws a direct line between what Dr. Melander does with tissue and joints and what RootSeek does with labs and systems. The tools are different, but the instinct is the same: don't stop at the first plan, look for what's actually driving the problem.  If this conversation named something you've been living with, whether it's pain that won't resolve or a chronic illness that hasn't had a clear answer, Dr. Su opens one hour a month to five people for real, direct guidance.   Book your spot: rootseekhealth.com/askdrmark Free Lab Guide: rootseekhealth.com/opt-in Links: North Shore Spine and Sport: northshorespinesport.comRootSeek Health: https://rootseekhealth.com/Guest bio: Dr. Mike Melander, DC is a chiropractor with 16 years in clinical practice and a multi-time Best of Boston winner.

    34. Best Supplement for Longevity: Creatine, NAD, HRT, or Something Else Entirely with Dr. Mark Su

    What's the single best supplement for longevity? Dr. Mark Su gets asked this question constantly, and in this solo episode he finally sits down and gives a real answer. It depends on what you're after. Want to feel younger and better? Creatine is the cheap, convenient place to start. Want something more personalized? Hormone replacement therapy, guided by testing, becomes the conversation. Want to actually be younger, not just feel it? NAD comes into play. Want precision instead of a one-size-fits-all answer? Biological age testing shows you your rate of aging and, more importantly, which system in your body is the weakest link holding everything else back. Then Dr. Su tries something different. He takes the exact same question to Claude, his AI tool of choice, and reads through the response live on the show. What comes back is a four-tier hierarchy of evidence, from robust epidemiologic data at the top all the way down to practitioner opinion with weak or no data behind it, the tier where most peptides and longevity stacks actually live. The most defensible single answer that holds up under real scrutiny turns out to be structured exercise targeting VO2 max. But this episode isn't really just about supplements. It's about the difference between advice that sounds confident and advice that's actually evidence-backed, and why practitioners, whether they're working in longevity medicine or treating complex chronic illness through functional medicine, owe their patients honesty about what the data can and can't tell us. No overselling, no fear-mongering, no pretending there's more certainty than there is. If you've ever wanted a straight answer to "what should I actually take," or you've quietly wondered whether your own practitioner is being fully honest with you about the evidence behind your plan, this one's for you. In this episode: Dr. Su's real answer to the "one best supplement for longevity" questionCreatine, NAD, and hormone replacement therapy, and when each actually fitsBiological age testing and finding your body's weakest linkUsing AI to rank the real evidence behind longevity interventionsWhy VO2 max training is the most defensible single answer with real data behind itThe case for honesty and transparency over hype in functional and longevity medicineConnect with RootSeek: Get your free Lab Results Guide: Download at rootseekhealth.com/labs/ Have a question for Dr. Su?

    33. HRV Explained by the Man Who Helped Build the Technology, Vivek Menon

    If you've ever glanced at your wearable in the morning and felt a small wave of anxiety over your recovery score, this episode is for you. And if you've spent years feeling like your body is stuck in some kind of alert mode, tired but wired, never quite settled, this conversation might put language to something you've been feeling for a long time without knowing what to call it. Why This Episode Matters Heart rate variability, or HRV, gets talked about constantly in wearable culture, but most people have never had it explained in a way that actually makes sense. It's not a heart measurement. It's a window into your nervous system, specifically the balance between your fight or flight response and your ability to rest, recover, and digest. Understanding that difference changes how you interpret your own data and your own body. What Listeners Will Learn What HRV actually measures, and why it has almost nothing to do with your cardiovascular system directly  How a healthy nervous system responds to stress and recovers from it  Why comparing your HRV number to someone else's tells you nothing useful  How often you should actually be checking your HRV data  The difference between how a consumer should use HRV and how a practitioner uses it  Why some people benefit from tracking daily, and why others are better off not tracking at all Key Moments or Themes Vivek's path from Dartmouth to co-founding SPREN (formerly Elite HRV) after a decade at NxStage Medical working in dialysis care  The autonomic nervous system explained in plain language, fight or flight versus rest and digest  Why HRV shows up differently across your pupils, skin, temperature, and heartbeat, and why comparing devices or people is close to meaningless  The real story behind why some of SPREN's most successful users eventually stopped tracking altogether  How a practitioner might use HRV data differently than an individual tracking their own recovery  Vivek's honest take on where HRV research is headed, and why it isn't going away Dr. Su's Perspective Dr. Su brings this conversation back to something he sees constantly in his patients. So many people are living in a state of chronic stress that their nervous system has simply adapted to it as the new normal. HRV gives language and data to something that root-cause medicine has always paid attention to, the nervous system is not separate from the rest of the body, it's central to it. Guest Bio Placeholder Vivek Menon is the co-founder of SPREN (formerly Elite HRV), a company that has spent over a decade turning wearable and smartphone data into insights people can actually use for their health, wellness, and performance. Prior to SPREN, he spent ten years at NxStage Medical, working to improve quality of life for dialysis patients. He's a Dartmouth graduate with dual degrees in economics and biology. If you're focused on optimizing your health long term, Dr. Su has something in the works for you. Stay connected at rootseekhealth.com. If this conversation had you thinking about your own nervous system, your own stress patterns, or what might really be going on in your body, Dr. Su opens a small number of spots each month for a direct conversation.
