How Viruses and Vaccines Work ft. Virologist - Morgan Freney

“Sexual health for women doesn’t start with hormonal balance in their menopausal years, but well before, when they start taking hormonally-driven birth control. The mainstay of treatment for our patients, especially the younger ones is getting them off the pill. Cause that's often the primary issue in a lot of women.” – Dr. Joshua Gonzalez   In today’s episode, Dr. Shah continues his no holds barred conversation about the taboo topic of sexual health with Dr. Joshua Gonzalez. If you missed the first episode, these knowledgeable gentleman talked primarily about men’s sexual health. In this talk, we’re dedicating Dr. Gonzalez’s expertise to women’s sexual health.   Surprising findings from recent research has revealed that birth control pills are affecting hormonal balance in woman at younger and younger ages – and causing their sexual lives to become stilted unnecessarily. The pill can mess with your thyroid hormones, sex hormones, and even lower your sex drive.   For women entering menopause, there are a whole different set of factors to alleviate – but young or reaching their golden years – women face hormonal balancing challenges as the primary impetus behind their sexual vibrancy.   Dr. Gonzalez is a board-certified urologist and specialist in hormonal balance, and sense female sexual health from puberty to well after menopause has so much to do with hormonal balance – even through the use of certain hormonally based birth controls – it’s time to learn more about estrogen, testosterone, oxytocin, vasopressin, progesterone, cortisol, binding globulin, and more!   Uncover the mystery that reveals your most intimate and amazing experience with sex ever. It’s got a lot to do with physiology, not just your psychology. Dr. Gonzalez is a life-saver for any woman struggling with sexual performance or fertility. Stop Googling your sexual symptoms, and listen in to this engaging conversation to learn more.   Highlights: Understand why you need a physiological workup before you ever consider seeing a sex therapist or psychologist to address sexual issues.

“That's how bad it was. I can't even describe the pain I was in. I was texting with my wife because I couldn’t see her. Then you think about your kids, you know. I've got a three-year-old and a four-month-old, and I was like, this is the worst way to go.” – Michael Yo   In today’s episode, Dr. Shah speaks candidly with Michael Yo who was likley infected with Covid-19 on a trip to New York – a vocational hazard as a travelling comedian. On his return, Yo developed a severely high fever. Soon after he was taken to the ER and then ICU because he couldn’t breathe. His lungs filled with liquid and his oxygen saturation levels plummeted.   For people who think this virus isn’t deadly, think again. It was touch-and-go for Yo for almost a week. Doctors diligently used every possible method to cure Yo because he was an early patient. He was essentially a guinea pig.   As Yo recently pointed out on his Twitter feed, “Flu 24,000 deaths last 8 months, Covid-19 43,000 deaths in 2 months.”   Yo’s experience of almost dying alone in a hospital is a wake-up call to anyone not taking social distancing and other health measures to avoid Covid seriously. As Dr. Shah aptly describes it in this podcast, “10,000 people dying is nothing compared to 100,000 people losing their jobs.”   What Yo and others learned from his harrowing experience could save people’s lives. Misconceptions abound, but facts stand solid. Listen in to learn why.   Highlights: Learn what its really like, first hand, from someone who was put in ICU with possible days to live after being diagnosed with Covid-19. Find out why, though some are asymptomatic, other people develop such a high fever when diagnosed with Covid. Understand why ventilators are not a one-size-fits all cure. Learn why Yo’s doctor vowed not to put him on a ventilator unless it was absolutely necessary. Learn why a cytokine storm, a normal inflammatory response of a healthy immune system, can actually cause more harm when you have Covid. Evaluate why immunity is such a big word in Covid-19 treatment now. Discover medical methods that worked for Yo and others that didn’t. Realize what protestors might be missing in their bid to reopen local economies. Understand the life cycle of a virus, and that it is normal for them to resurface every 100 years or so. Join Yo in his emotional journey through his diagnosis to his current struggle to regain full health.   Next|Heath: Website: https://www.next-health.com/ Instagram: @next_health Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nexthealth Google +: https://plus.google.com/+NexthealthWellness   Dr. Darshan Shah: Website: https://www.drshah.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DarshanShahMD Making the Cut: https://www.drshah.com/making-the-cut.html   Michael Yo Website: https://michaelyo.com/ Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/michael-yo-show/id1475116900?i=1000472103123 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelyo/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/michaelyo?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MichaelYo/

“Speaking of Blue Zones, the hundred-and-nine year-old, or however old she is, like John Claremont, I think she recently passed away, but there are others, like John Coleman. They are gin chugging, cigarette smoking people. You know, folks who are living well past the age they should be living since they don't have cryotherapy chambers, NAD IVs, and infrared saunas. But they've got strong love and relationships and a robust social life and a belief in a higher power. . . Our whole family is gratitude-journaling together in the morning. I'm taking my kids through a meditation and prayer. At night we revisit gratitude. It's just this magical, magical way to live.

“I was seeing how the medical system just wasn’t working in the ER. It was the same people coming in, and their drug list was just getting bigger and bigger. It was prescriptions to treat symptoms, and I thought—there has to be a better way.”– Dr. Lekkos   In today’s episode, Dr. Shah and Kevin Peake talk with Dr. Lekkos, a former emergency room physician who shifted his entire paradigm to study functional medicine.   Functional medicine is about optimizing your health so that you can put a fire out before it even starts, as opposed to calling in the specialists once the fire is blazing so high it’s about to consume the while building. This non-Western approach to medicine looks at your entire lifestyle to promote wellness at ground zero.   Dr. Lekkos went from cutting people open in an ER to looking for the root cause of an illness, and then tailoring an individualized plan that takes into account a person’s lifestyle choices; including stress levels, diet, toxin exposure, childhood trauma, and a detailed mental and spiritual history. Many of the factors that Western medicine usually ignores, Dr. Lekkos uses like a sleuth to solve the mystery of your individualized health.   Join us for the passionate journey Dr. Lekkos has taken to move from treating disease to optimizing wellness for his patients, and take some of his secrets with you to augment your own health. Tune in for leading edge integrative health secrets.   Highlights: How a seasoned ER doctor went from treating symptoms to learning root causes to dramatically improve health. Why shifting from reactive, disease care, to preventative “wellness” care makes all the difference.

How the West Coast is more open minded in accepting cutting-edge, non-disease care medicine, but how this mindset is spreading. The incredible reward of changing people’s health after the traditional medical system has failed them repeatedly. How, shockingly, the mind and spirit are almost more influential when it comes to health than the purely physical body. Why the way you think is directly impacting your health. Why your lifestyle and environment will affect the expression of your genes. Why only 2 – 20% of your genes affect your health, and why epigenetics are so pivotal in determining your well-being. How to not express “bad” genes. How protein expression turns on and off just from your thinking, through the process of methylation. What multiple personality disorder can teach us about the power of the mind over the body. How placebo illustrates the power of mind over body. Why meditation and brain.fm can change your world.

“A friend once told me, only 3% of people have an eating disorder, but 97% of people have disordered eating.” – Nikki Sharp   In today’s episode, Dr. Shah and Kevin Peake crack open some real talk with Nikki Sharp, a tour-de-force and former model who reveals some hard truths about our relationships to food based on her own journey through two severe, clinically-described eating disorders. Nikki’s not just any health and wellness blogger, her authenticity comes through in every word, as well as a vulnerability and heart that are rare in many people who are today talking about health today.   Nikki’s books, including The Five-Day Real Food Detox are not a get-healthy quick recipe, but a way to start fresh and to install new eating habits that nourish you from the inside out. She’s not afraid to talk about her own issues with food, and how she’s overcome them: starting with how she loves herself, so that choosing good food is just one of many choices she makes to support a healthy mind and body.   It may come as a surprise that an international model would ever binge eat and suffer from anorexia, but Nikki’s journey through these challenges helps us to reveal our own disordered relationships with food so that we can address eating disorders, body dysmorphia in the age of “perfection” on Instagram, and all other manner of image distortion and its myriad manifestations.   Listening to this podcast, you won’t just want to follow Nikki because she’s beautiful on the outside, but because she tears down the walls concealing an important topic that has remained taboo for far too long.   Highlights: How LA supports the “pretty” people, but what this often means as far as diet, and health. Why starving yourself is indicative of a deeper hunger. Why Nikki’s mission is to rename “healthy food.” How eating patterns develop and how to change them. How we’ve come to eat fake, processed, human-generated substance that we call “food,” but which is so toxic to the body. The lies the diet industry tells. How to make healthy eating non-disruptive to your current lifestyle. How food and emotions are often tied. Why toxin removal is just as important as what you consume. How stress and anxiety affect digestion and assimilation of your food. How to understand the seasons of the body. Learn to approach eating from a place of balance instead of restriction. How judgment leads tor trouble. Learn about Nikki’s new book, and it’s interesting evolution.     Next|Heath: Website: https://www.next-health.com/ Instagram: @next_health Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nexthealth   Dr. Darshan Shah: Website: https://www.drshah.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DarshanShahMD Making the Cut: https://www.drshah.com/making-the-cut.html   Nikki Sharp Website: http://nikkisharp.com Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Nikki-Sharp/e/B013RJ6ME8%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nikkisharp/?hl=en Twitter: https://twitter.com/nikkirsharp?lang=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nikkisharplimited/
