259: Why You Can't Fix Your Eating Disorder (And What Actually Works) - with Matty Lansdown

While conventional approaches focus heavily on hormone replacement therapy, Cynthia explains why this is only part of the picture. The gut microbiome plays a central role in regulating the immune system, influencing inflammation, and even impacting how the body metabolizes hormones. The conversation dives into how chronic inflammation accelerates aging, contributes to weight gain, and disrupts metabolic health. Cynthia outlines how modern lifestyle factors—including stress, poor sleep, antibiotic use, and diet—damage the microbiome and create hidden dysfunction, even in women who feel symptom-free. This episode is essential listening for women seeking a root-cause approach to gut health, inflammation, and long-term hormonal balance.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Gut–Hormone Connection in Menopause Inflammation & Immune System Aging (Immunosenescence) Mitochondrial Health & Energy Production Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Realities Ovarian Aging & Gut-Ovary Axis Weight Gain & Metabolic Dysfunction in Midlife "Inflammaging" & Chorinc Inflammation   More from Udo Erasmus: Website: cynthiathorlow.com Instagram: cynthia_thorlow_ Youtube: @CynthiaThorlow X: @_CynthiaThurlow Get Cynthia's Book Here: The Menopause Gut   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

A powerful converstaion that dives deep not only into health and facts, but also into Udo's personal story and childhood stories that shaped him and the way he sees the world! How he started his business, the pursuit of knowledge, truth, and the meaning of life! The conversation dives deep into how modern oil processing methods—exposure to heat, light, and oxygen—create massive amounts of damaged molecules, even in oils considered "healthy." As explained in the episode, even 1% damage in a tablespoon of oil can equate to tens of quintillions of altered molecules, which may significantly impact cellular function, gene expression, and the immune system. Beyond nutrition, the discussion expands into root-cause health principles—highlighting how disconnection from natural living, whole foods, and internal awareness contributes to chronic inflammation and disease. The microbiome, digestion, and environmental exposures are all framed within a broader systems-based approach to healing.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Meaning of life & human experience Disconnection from self as root cause of disease Root cause of inflammation & chronic illness Omega-3 vs Omega-6 balance Essential nutrients & individualized needs Industrial food system & chemicals Spiritual/psychological connection to health   More from Udo Erasmus: Website: udoerasmus.com Instagram: @udoerasmus Youtube: @UdoErasmus Facebook: Udo Erasmus X: UdoErasmus   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid produced by the microbiome—and it plays a foundational role in gut health, inflammation control, immune system regulation, and even brain function. The problem? Most people today are deficient due to poor microbiome health, low fiber tolerance, and chronic gut dysfunction. Steven breaks down how butyrate supports the integrity of the gut lining, fuels colon cells, regulates oxygen levels in the microbiome, and creates an environment where beneficial bacteria can thrive. Without it, even the best diets and supplements may fall short.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Butyrate: What It Is & Why It Matters Tributerin vs Standard Butyrate Diet Debate (Fiber vs Carnivore vs Vegan) Root Cause vs Symptom-Based Healing Failures of Probiotics & Supplement Industry Nervous System & Environmental Inputs   More from Steven Wright: Website: healthygut.com Instagram: @healthygutco   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Josh and Michael also unpack the concept of self-sufficiency, discussing practical ways to regain control over your food—even if you live in a city. From growing herbs to sourcing local farms, they emphasize that small steps toward food awareness can have a profound impact on overall health. One of the most compelling parts of the episode explores the emotional and ethical experience of producing your own food—and how it fundamentally changes your relationship with what you eat. This shift often leads to reduced waste, greater appreciation, and more intentional nutrition choices. If you're struggling with gut health issues, chronic inflammation, or simply feel disconnected from your health journey, this episode offers a refreshing and empowering perspective on addressing the root cause—starting with what's on your plate.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Food quality and industrial agriculture critique Growing your own food (practical + philosophy) Self-sufficiency and lifestyle design Emotional/ethical aspects of raising and killing animals Government regulation & food systems Practical steps to start (urban/suburban options)   More from Michael Kummer: Website: michaelkummer.com Instagram: @mkummer82 Youtube: @MichaelKummer X: @mkummer82 Listen to Michael's Podcast: The Primal Shift Podcast Michael's supplements: MK Supplements Newsletter: Subscribe Here   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Matty explains that eating disorders and unhealthy food patterns often stem from unresolved emotional experiences, including stress, shame, and even past trauma. In many cases, food becomes a coping mechanism—a way for the brain to regulate difficult emotions or create a sense of control. This is why traditional approaches to gut health, weight loss, and nutrition often fail to create lasting change.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Root Causes of Eating Disorders (trauma, psychology) Sexual Trauma & Its Impact on Food Behavior Orthorexia & "Healthy Eating" Extremes Defining Eating Disorders (spectrum vs extremes) Biology & Gender Differences in Eating Disorders Healing process & step-by-step framework   More from Matty Lansdown: Website: mattylansdown.com Instagram: @the.real.weight.loss.coach Youtube: @therealweightlosscoach Listen to Matty's Podcast: The Real Weight Loss Coach   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

After suffering from a severe injury that left her in chronic pain for years—relying on morphine and mobility aids—Brandy was told by doctors there was nothing more they could do. Determined to find answers, she turned to medical research and discovered a deeper layer of healing rooted in the mind-body connection. What she uncovered challenges conventional approaches to chronic illness. Brandy now demonstrates, under medical thermal imaging, how individuals can reduce pain and inflammation in real time by shifting subconscious emotional patterns. This isn't about positive thinking—it's about identifying and changing the specific emotional "ingredients" that influence the nervous system and immune response.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Mind-Body Connection & Real-Time Healing Emotional Patterns & Chronic Illness Subconscious Mind vs Conscious Belief Role of Trauma, Guilt & Fear Nervous System & Pattern Conditioning Brandy's Injury & Recovery Journey Live Pain Reduction Demonstration   More from Brandy Gillmore: Website: brandygillmore.com Instagram: @brandygillmore X: @BrandyGillmore Facebook: Brandy Gillmore   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?
