Why You Feel Worse When You Start Eating Better | What’s Actually Happening in Your Gut With Steve Wright

Sarah Kleiner welcomes fertility practitioner Amy Ralph, an acupuncturist, herbalist, and east-meets-west “fertility detective,” to discuss why infertility is rising and how to investigate root causes beyond blaming female age. They critique fertility clinics repeating IVF/IUI cycles without changing protocols, emphasize male-factor gaps like limited semen analysis and lack of DNA fragmentation testing, and share that many women conceive naturally after failed IVF when medications aren’t tolerated. Amy cites declining fertility rates (now ~1 in 6 couples), increasing younger patients, and highlights undiagnosed/mistreated endometriosis and adenomyosis as major drivers, including studies linking endometriosis to worse IVF outcomes that improve after proper surgery. They stress whole-person approaches—uterine testing, inflammation and immune regulation, nervous system/trauma support, light environment, sleep, and individualized nutrition—alongside selective, efficient use of medical interventions.About Aimee Raupp’sAimee Raupp’s Natural Fertility Coaching Program is designed to help women optimize their fertility and prepare their bodies for healthy conception through a holistic, root-cause approach.

She recommends morning strategies for those up before sunrise—hydration, light movement, grounding, a protein-and-fat breakfast, and optional brief red light therapy—plus getting outdoor light as soon as possible and using her Circadian app’s lux session timer. She discusses researched morning lux thresholds and emphasizes low evening lux (under 10) and a dark sleep environment to protect melatonin, along with keeping food about three hours away from bedtime. For skin and vitamin D, she advises gradual, sequential sun exposure (sunrise through UVA/UVB), building a “solar callus,” using the app’s vitamin D timer, and avoiding burns, with notes on nutrition, astaxanthin foods, shade benefits, and optional cold exposure.THE BIO-INDIVIDUAL BLUEPRINT: https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/offers/2oECuhhC/checkout _________Sponsored By:→ VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/ → Troscriptions | For an exclusive offer, go to https://www.troscriptions.com/SARAHK for 10% off your first non subscription order.→ Organifi | For an exclusive offer, go to https://www.organifi.com/SARAHK for 20% off your order._________Timestamp:00:00 Red Light Office Prep00:49 Podcast Intro and Disclaimers03:28 Time Change Morning Strategy05:14 Pre Sunrise Routine Tools08:06 Lux Timer and Light Breaks10:04 Lux Thresholds Explained14:42 Light Boxes Pros and Cons17:56 Spring Skin Sun Prep19:43 Nutrition and Burn Risk23:01 Sequential Sunlight and UVA26:48 Metabolism Skin Benefits28:01 New Topic Methylene Blue28:26 Methylene Blue Use Cases29:12 Cellulite as Energy Loss30:59 Spring UVB Vitamin D Basics32:44 Microdosing Sun Exposure34:23 UV Index and Skin Type36:00 Blue Blockers Reality Check37:27 Cold Plunge for Melanin40:16 Shade Infrared Office Fixes43:20 Evening Routine and Eating45:35 Lux Rules and Glasses49:56 Sleep Debt and Body Clocks51:28 Programs and Final Wrap——— This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional!________________________________________Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey!https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resourcesCheck out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

On the Evolving Wellness Podcast, host Sarah interviews board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Josef Dering, who previously worked in the pharmaceutical industry and as an FDA medical officer in psychiatry drug safety. He explains why he now believes psychiatric medications don’t work for most conditions and describes how time-pressured, checklist-based care and “chemical imbalance” narratives lead to escalating drug cocktails without addressing root causes. He warns that benzodiazepines may help short term but can worsen anxiety over time, cause interdose withdrawal, degrade sleep architecture, and impair concentration, making them a “Faustian bargain,” and stresses slow, supervised tapering due to difficult withdrawal. Dering outlines non-drug approaches targeting body, mind, and “soul” (health behaviors, skills-based therapies, relationships, and meaning). He also argues high-potency THC cannabis increases psychosis risk and may lead to long recoveries and misdiagnosis.Connect withj Dr Josef - https://www.youtube.com/@taperclinichttps://www.instagram.com/drjosefwittdoerring/ _________Sponsored By:→ Bon Charge | Go to https://boncharge.com/products/demi-red-light-device?rfsn=8108115.26608d & use code SARAHKLEINER for 15% off storewide.→ VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/ → Organifi | For an exclusive offer, go to https://www.organifi.com/SARAHK for 20% off your order._________Timestamp:00:00 Benzos Quick Relief00:55 Episode Setup Disclaimer02:29 Podcast Intro Housekeeping03:42 Meet Dr Dering04:30 Why He Questions Meds07:19 FDA Safety Reality Check08:44 Host Story Benzos12:16 Sponsor Red Light14:29 Benzos Faustian Bargain15:48 Body Mind Soul Framework21:42 Sponsor Blue Blockers23:09 Motivation Rock Bottom26:30 Medical Trust Broken29:12 Suicidality on Med Cocktails31:23 Withdrawal Trap and Tapering34:20 PR Narrative Around Antidepressants36:22 Meds and Mass Violence Debate39:27 Gender Ideology in Schools42:57 Cannabis Mental Health Risks44:26 THC Potency and Psychosis Data48:54 Paranoia as Warning Sign51:34 Safe Tapering and Final Advice——— This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional!________________________________________Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey!https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resourcesCheck out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

Host Sarah Kleiner welcomes practitioner Grant Fowler to discuss navigating confusing and polarizing health information, emphasizing clinician-to-clinician “what works” insights alongside research. They argue health interventions have second- and third-order effects, using gut microbiome health as an example for improving responses to therapies such as cancer immunotherapy, and caution against “one thing fixes all” thinking across wellness, medicine, and spiritual frameworks. Fowler describes his non-linear path into health, his trial-and-error approach to addressing connective-tissue-related issues, and the importance of stacking lifestyle foundations (light, food, environment) to reduce system load so therapies can work. They critique strict evidence hierarchies, note “real world evidence,” and outline a symptom-guided approach to gut issues, highlighting specific probiotics (including spore-based strains and BB-536), lactoferrin, targeted fibers, dosing/timing considerations, and the gut’s role in nutrient absorption and filtering toxins.Connect withj Grant - https://www.instagram.com/fowler_fitness_spt/ _________Sponsored By:→ Bon Charge | Go to https://boncharge.com/products/demi-red-light-device?rfsn=8108115.26608d & use code SARAHKLEINER for 15% off storewide.→ VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/→ Troscriptions | For an exclusive offer, go to https://www.troscriptions.com/SARAHK for 10% off your first non subscription order._________Timestamp:00:00 First Order vs Systems01:02 Why Clinicians Matter02:19 Podcast Intro and Disclaimers03:32 Grant’s Health Origin Story08:13 Genetics Epigenetics and EDS12:53 Peptides and Bio Regulators15:13 Real World Evidence Debate22:30 Insurance and Chronic Illness27:31 Integrative Medicine Middle Path30:40 Continuum of Therapies35:38 Modern Life Balance and Microbes42:16 Online Health Info Spirals43:16 Spiritual Bypassing Trap45:13 Bad Logic in Wellness46:45 Sunlight Protocol Reality Check48:32 Stockdale Paradox Mindset51:26 Synergy Over Monotherapy55:58 Fixing the Gut Basics56:23 Microbiome Testing Limits59:14 Targeted Gut Supplements01:01:51 Spore Probiotics Strategy01:13:43 Timing and Megadosing01:18:42 Where to Follow Grant01:22:12 Closing Thoughts——— This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional!________________________________________Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey!https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resourcesCheck out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

In this episode of the Evolving Wellness Podcast, host Sarah Kleiner delves into her personal journey with fertility challenges, failed IVF attempts, and the significant impact of circadian and quantum biology on her health. After a pivotal conversation with Dr. Jack Cruz, Sarah emphasizes the importance of understanding leptin, mitochondrial function, and the nuances of individualized health approaches.
