Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about breakthrough therapies for chronic illness recovery including EBOO and TPE. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Tami Lyday. Tami Lyday, DO, MS has been a physician since 2006 and a functional and integrative specialist since 2017. Prior to that, she spent 11 years as a family practitioner but was never quite satisfied with conventional medical approaches. Her mother's illness and subsequent side effects of traditional treatments prompted her to learn more about integrative medicine, and she has not looked back. Dr. Lyday believes functional and integrative medicine is the best way to ensure lasting recovery as it helps patients determine the root of their health issues and does not rely on medications that treat symptoms while ignoring the underlying causes of illness. She pursued training and certifications in functional and integrative medicine, including specialty training and certifications in the treatment of mold-related illnesses and Lyme disease. At the time of her certification, she was one of only 26 practitioners in the world who were Shoemaker certified in mold treatment protocols. After 4 years as a functional and integrative medical practitioner, she opened The Lyday Center to provide a dedicated resource for people who are suffering from mystery illnesses and ailments that don't respond to conventional treatment and are seeking natural solutions to their chronic illnesses. Since that time, she has expanded her specialties to include the treatment of thyroid disorders and overall energy levels. Her mission is to heal the world one patient at a time. Key Takeaways: How much does environmental toxicity contribute to chronic illness? How is a patient tested for mold illness? What binders are most commonly used for detoxification? Do natural binders have a place? What is the role of Actinobacteria and endotoxins in CIRS patients? Can a patient have fungal colonization and potentially benefit from antifungals?

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about chronic kidney disease and how to address the Kidneydemic with Renology. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Robin Rose. Robin Rose, MD began a journey into holistic healing in her teens in the mid-sixties beginning with nutrition and botanical medicine and yoga and meditation. Over the years her journey included time living in India and working with both village doctors and healers. She became a health food chef and inspired many to change their habits. Before long she was enrolled in an RN program and then a family nurse practitioner program. Aware that the education wasn't complete, she attended University of Arizona College of Medicine; while also serving as a medical student board member for the American Holistic Medical Association. During residency, she continued learning Chinese medicine, acupuncture, osteopathy, energy medicine, and herbal medicine. Her main practice was in Ashland, Oregon where she served a community eager to integrate many healing modalities into the conventional setting, including innovative care in the hospital. In the past decade after her own alarming health challenges with kidney cancer and advanced kidney disease, she became agile in regenerative medical approaches to kidney care. She created a new specialty called Renology; a new concept of "Kidney Success" not Kidney Failure. When she discovered peptides and especially bioregulator peptides, she led the brigade to new heights of seeing success in a field that had not embraced this kind of care. Her recent book "Renology Peptides" is a nearly 800 page text on how to achieve this renewal of health. Her current intention is to raise awareness of the role of kidney in wellbeing and how we can all celebrate this success. Key Takeaways: What is the purpose of the kidneys? What symptoms are observed in chronic kidney disease? Is kidney disease a catabolic process? Is kidney disease genetic or epigenetic? What are the stages of kidney disease? What are the best tests and lab markers? What might elevations or phosphorous or potassium suggest? What is the kidney-gut axis? What is the role of endothelial health in kidney disease? What role do the mitochondria play? How do infections and environmental toxicants contribute to kidney disease? What is the role of oxalates in kidney health? How might carbon dioxide guide treatment? Does cellular senescence play a role? What is the connection between the kidneys and the teeth? How do the limbic system and mental/emotional health impact the kidneys? What treatment intervention warrant exploration? Where do dialysis and transplantation come into the discussion? What role might peptides and peptide bioregulators play?

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and effective approaches to treatment. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Derik Anderson. Derik Anderson, DC, CPT, CSN helps his patients be healthier by utilizing his education and personal and professional backgrounds. Dr. Anderson grew up wanting to help people and initially planned to go to business school to work in energy conservation. After a good friend's life was positively changed by chiropractic care, he had a change of heart. His friend spent two years with horrific intestinal problems and saw over a dozen providers, but no one could help her – until she saw a chiropractor. The chiropractor knew that the vertebra and muscles around them affected the nerves that controlled the intestines. After treatment, she was no longer bed-ridden and went back to teaching, traveling and leading an active life. Dr. Anderson realized that health care was his calling and his passion for helping people was channeled into chiropractic. Dr. Anderson lives what he practices. He is an avid runner, nationally competitive sailor, surfs, and is a youth coach. Dr. Anderson eats a diet high in vegetables, low in starch, and drinks several quarts of water each day. Why? Food is our bodies' fuel and muscles consume 70% of that fuel (the brain consumes another 20%), so to reach our maximum potential, our food chain needs to be clean, appropriate, and healthy for our needs.

Why You Should Listen: In this episode, you will learn about The Perrin Technique™ and the importance of detoxification and drainage in ME/CFS, Long COVID, and other conditions. About My Guest: My guest for this episode is Dr. Raymond Perrin. Raymond Perrin, DO, PhD is an osteopath and neuroscientist and the creator of "The Perrin Technique™". The Perrin Technique™ is an osteopathic approach developed in 1989, originally for ME/CFS, that aims to manually drain toxins from the cerebrospinal fluid into the lymphatic system. Movement of the spine and massage of the soft tissues in the head, neck, back, and chest direct all the toxins out of the lymphatic system and into the blood, where they are eventually detoxified by the liver. Eventually, with less poisons affecting the central nervous system, the hypothalamus and the sympathetic nervous system begin to function correctly, restoring health to the patient. His latest book is "Through the Looking Glass: Diagnosing and Treating Long COVID Using the Perrin Technique". Key Takeaways: What conditions might The Perrin Technique™ be helpful for? What is the process or experience of the technique? What is the role of sympathetic dominance in chronic illness? How does sympathetic dominance lead to an accumulation of toxins and toxicants? Can tools such as limbic system retraining and vagal tonification be helpful adjuncts? What is the connection to EDS and hypermobility? How do we support endothelial health in our modern world? Do patients benefit from treatment interventions aimed at MCAS? How might a neodymium magnet be used to explore the potential for heavy metal toxicity? Does the lymphatic system have a pump? Can lymphatic fluid move in the wrong direction? Are these conditions of persistent infection? Can the Perrin Technique™ help the body to remove cytokines and lactic acid? Are binders and drainage remedies helpful adjuncts?
