What If It’s Not Depression? What If It’s Inflammation?

I was recently interviewed by Dr. Achina Stein, a functional medicine psychiatrist, for her Vodcast, What If It’s Not Depression? 

A “functional medicine psychiatrist”?! This means that she is a serious mental health professional who understands how our physical health affects our mental health, and explores 

She has a book by the same name on Amazon that helps you uncover the root causes of depression-like symptoms, balance the body, mind, and spirit, and even helps you taper off unnecessary medications. She interviews people like me to explore various root causes of depression that most people don’t usually think about and helps you connect the dots. 

We did a deep dive on the link between inflammation and mental health.

As I got to know her, I learned that Dr. Stein created a program, What If’s Not Depression? Bootcamp for people who are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Often what happens when we don’t feel well is go to our primary care providers to find answers. Unfortunately, many examine us and do blood work, but ultimately tell us, nothing is wrong. They infer that it must be “all in our heads” and offer an antidepressant medication. You might not think that you are depressed or need an anti-depressant medication. You know something is wrong because you know your body, but you can’t figure it out and you might just want to get to the bottom of it so you don’t need medications lifelong.

Her 12-week group online program helps you understand where things went wrong, why you feel so bad, then shows you step by step how to reverse the process and helps you decide whether medication is part of the answer. Dr. Stein is one of few psychiatrists in the country (world actually) to offer a program like this. If you or someone you know might be interested in learning more, visit her website or go directly to Book a Discovery Call here to figure out if this could the right program for you. 

Check out this Vodcast and see if her approach resonates with you as a new direction that may finally offer a lasting solution to your depression once and for all!

Parasites May Trigger Thyroid Issues Such As Graves’ or Hashimoto’s

The longer I run my clinic, the more convinced I am that hidden parasitic infection may be at the root of many chronic conditions. In this talk with thyroid specialist Dr. Eric Osansky, we discuss how parasites may be triggering symptoms of Graves’ Disease and Hashimoto’s.

 

Inflammation and Health

Could inflammation be holding you back from reclaiming your health?

Listen in to the Simply Jewel podcast as she and I discuss all the ways inflammation could be affecting you without you even knowing it!

Plant-Based Eating? What Does That Really Mean?

Doesn’t “plant-based eating” really mean “following a whole foods-based diet”?

That’s the argument I made recently as a guest on “The Lisa Show” on BYUradio.

In a nutshell, all life on this planet comes from the sun. The sun shines down on plants, the plants photosynthesize and grow, people and animals eat the plants and transfer the sun’s energy into our own bodies.

When we focus on whole foods, we receive the energy from the sun through the food that we eat. On the other hand, the heavily processed foods full of petroleum-based chemicals that populate our grocery stores no longer contain the energy of life.

While many would argue that “plant-based diets” means “no meat”, I would suggest that it means simply “more plants than meat” since plant-eating animals play a role in the transfer of energy through food. In other words, a plant-based diet is the familiar Mediterranean-type diet.

This was my second appearance on “The Lisa Show”; on my first visit we discussed the benefits of meal prep.
