Unfortunately, while almost never diagnosed, vitamin D deficiency affects over half of the population and has been linked to many cancers, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, depression, fibromyalgia, chronic muscle pain, bone loss, and autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis. Vitamin D is almost totally absent from our food supply, and vitamin D deficiencies are the hidden cause of so much suffering—yet it is so easy to treat.  In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I talk about vitamin D deficiency, share my top strategies for optimal sun safety this summer, and much more.

It’s not our genes alone that dictate our health outcomes, rather it’s the biology of belief that determines our destiny.  Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m excited to talk to Dr. Bruce Lipton about how exactly our thoughts determine our genetic expression, and how we can influence our health using our minds. Dr. Bruce Lipton is a stem cell biologist and author of the bestselling books, The Biology of Belief, Spontaneous Evolution, and The Honeymoon Effect.

And when it comes to animal-based protein, we can’t just say all meat is good or no meat is good; it’s a matter of what types and sources of proteins you’re eating and what the rest of your diet looks like too.  In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, Dr. Stephan van Vliet, and Dr. Don Layman about how much protein we should eat, the effects of animal protein on the environment, the best protein sources, and more. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is an integrative physician who completed her fellowship in nutritional sciences and geriatrics at Washington University, St. Louis.

Mercury enters our bodies from many different sources, including mercury vapors in ambient air, ingestion via drinking water, fish, dental amalgams, occupational exposures, home exposures, over-the-counter products, and more. There’s no doubt about it: mercury is the most alarming, disease-causing source of environmental toxicity that I see daily in my practice.  In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I share my own experience with mercury issues and give you a comprehensive plan for reducing your exposure and healing from mercury toxicity.  This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Joovv.

As we age, our body’s natural antioxidant defenses slow down, driving chronic inflammation and diminishing overall health.  To combat inflammaging, scientists have been studying compounds that can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the body. One such compound is astaxanthin, a powerful, naturally occurring antioxidant with profound anti-inflammatory health benefits. Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m excited to talk to David M. Watumull all about astaxanthin and how it helps to combat some of the key hallmarks of aging—inflammaging, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cell signaling. David M. Watumull has more than twenty years of experience in product development, commercialization, and business management related to astaxanthin—a safe and powerful, naturally-occurring anti-inflammatory—for human health. He is the co-founder and CEO of AX3 Life, a consumer longevity company formed to help people be their best selves l

This episode is brought to you by Paleovalley, AG1, and Bioptimizers.  Difficult times and experiences happen to all of us. They can often leave us not feeling good enough, not feeling worthy of love, not being able to trust others, and more. And it can be easy to put self-care on the back burner, even when we know we need to face our struggles. Yet, when we make the time to be radically honest with ourselves, sit with our discomforts, and take action to change our state, we open up the door to healing. In today’s episode, I talk with Mel Robbins, Yung Pueblo, and Lewis Howes about how small actions we make every day can be the key to big changes that transform our lives. A New York Times bestselling author and self-publishing phenom, Mel Robbins’ work includes The High 5 Habit, The 5 Second Rule, and the number one-ranking The Mel Robbins Podcast.

On today’s episode, I’m excited to talk to Robby Sansom and Taylor Collins about the nuances of regeneratively raised meat and how it can reverse climate change, support better health for those who eat it, and provide natural and caring conditions for the animals it involves.  Robby Sansom is Co-Founder & CEO at Force of Nature, a regeneratively sourced meat company based in Austin, TX. Previously, as CFO/COO at EPIC, Robby spent much of the last decade studying regenerative agriculture at ranches all over the world.

This is also often a time of significant stressors, as many women are juggling parenting, a career, and even caring for elders. And contrary to popular belief, women cannot follow the same health and fitness protocols as men and expect to see the same results. In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Mindy Pelz, Dr. Izabella Wentz, and Cynthia Thurlow about things women over 40 can do to ease their experiences during perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Mindy Pelz is a renowned holistic health expert and one of the leading voices in educating women about their hormonal health.

This episode is brought to you by Paleovalley, AG1, and Mitopure.  Many people still believe that eating cholesterol and fat, especially saturated fat, causes heart attacks and that taking statin drugs is the only way to reduce your risk of heart attacks, but now we know the science says otherwise. The good news is this: we have a lot more control than we originally thought when it comes to preventing and reversing heart disease. In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Cindy Geyer, Dr. Aseem Malhotra, and Dr. Todd LePine about why we need to look beyond cholesterol levels to protect our hearts. Dr. Cindy Geyer received her bachelor of science and doctor of medicine degrees, with honors, from the Ohio State University.

Over the years, I fine-tuned my approach for a sharper, faster, and better brain.  In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I am talking about things that can lead to a broken brain and my top strategies for improving brain health.  This episode is brought to you by ButcherBox and Athletic Greens.

It’s a fundamental driver of our health and longevity, and we’re now learning how boosting NAD levels might offset and improve the effects of aging.  On today’s episode, I’m excited to talk to Dr. Andrew Salzman all about NAD—how it is a key component involved in mitochondrial production, and is a critical substrate for several enzymes, including sirtuins, which play key roles in healthy aging, weight management, metabolic syndrome, and metabolism.

Over the years, it has become a widely held belief that cancer is predominately a genetic disease or simply the consequence of bad luck. An empowering evolution in cancer research, however, suggests we have far more control over our risk than previously thought.  I’m excited to talk to Dr. Thomas Seyfried about the underlying causes of cancer and why addressing metabolic dysfunction is a very important and often overlooked area of its prevention and treatment.  Dr. Thomas Seyfried is an American professor of biology, genetics, and biochemistry at Boston College. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 1976 and did his postdoctoral fellowship at the Yale University School of Medicine. Dr. Seyfried has over 150 peer-reviewed publications, and his research focuses primarily on the mechanisms driving cancer, epilepsy, and neurodegenerative diseases and calorie-restricted ketogenic diets in their pr
