What's Happening With The THWT Podcast in September?

Folate is a great thing - it's vitamin B9 and your body needs it to make new cells, replicate DNA, and so much more. But there are risks of too much folate, so how much folic acid is too much? And how dangerous is it to take high dose folic acid over time? The research exists for high dose folic acid, but what about L-5MTHF, or methyl folate? Does high dose methyl folate have the same risks as high dose folic acid? We have so many questions, and very few definitive answers, but there is lots of information that we do have. This episode of the To Health With That! podcast will cover the risks of high dose folic acid, the risks of high dose methyl folate, the risks of high dose L-5MTHF, and what we do and don't know from the research.

In Season 4, Episode 21 of the To Health With That podcast, naturopathic doctor Amy Neuzil discusses strategies to combat fatigue by focusing on adrenal health. The episode covers the concept of adrenal fatigue, identifying it in various phases, and introduces a holistic approach to healing the adrenals, emphasizing the role of supplements such as Vitamin C, Magnesium, B Vitamins, and melatonin, along with a special focus on adaptogens like Siberian ginseng, ashwagandha, and holy basil. Neuzil stresses the importance of incorporating these supplements alongside necessary lifestyle changes to prevent the eventual collapse of adrenal health. Additionally, fat-soluble antioxidants are highlighted as beneficial for individuals experiencing adrenal fatigue. The episode serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding and managing adrenal fatigue, but Neuzil reminds listeners to consult healthcare professionals before starting any medical regimen and acknowledges the recovery process is a slow, diligent journey akin to the duration of time taken to develop adrenal fatigue.

In season four of the 'To Health With That' podcast, hosted by naturopathic doctor Amy Noozle, the focus shifts to understanding and combating fatigue, with a specific emphasis on adrenal fatigue. This episode discusses the importance of healing your adrenals from phase two (tired but wired) or phase three (burning down) without the immediate use of adrenal hormones or supplements, reserving such treatments for more severe cases. Doctor Neuzil emphasizes lifestyle changes as a crucial step towards adrenal recovery, advocating for consistent sleep schedules, reducing screen time before bed, ensuring exposure to bright light in the morning, and adjusting dietary habits to support adrenal health. The significance of mindset and doing less than one is capable of to avoid further stress on the adrenals is highlighted as the hardest yet most vital part of recovery. The episode promises to cover supplements in the following installment.

In this episode of the 'To Health With That' podcast, host Amy Neuzil, a naturopathic doctor, explores adrenal fatigue, a widespread issue attributed to the constant stress of modern life. The episode delves into the four stages of adrenal fatigue: 'Crushing it,' where individuals feel highly productive and energized due to high cortisol levels; 'Tired but wired,' marked by emerging fatigue and anxiety; 'Burning down,' where symptoms worsen, including greater fatigue and sleep issues; and 'Burned out,' a phase of significant functional impairment. Neuzil emphasizes the importance of early detection and intervention to prevent reaching the burnout stage. The episode aims to educate listeners on recognizing the signs of adrenal fatigue and offers a lead into the next episode, which will focus on non-hormonal strategies for nourishing and healing the adrenals.

Understanding and Addressing Adrenal Fatigue Adrenal fatigue is everywhere in modern culture, but why is that? It comes down to the difference between threats in our ancestral (geneticly adapted) cultures and threats in modern life. Dr. Amy explains the role of the adrenal glands, located like hats on the kidneys, in secreting hormones that regulate our stress response and circadian rhythms. She discusses how modern stressors, unlike ancestral dangers, continuously trigger our fight or flight response without the necessary physical release, leading to what is commonly referred to as adrenal fatigue. Symptoms range from overwhelming fatigue to more severe conditions like Addison's disease in extreme cases. The episode finishes with a mention of Debbie Moon's book, 'Histamine Life Hacks,' recommending it for further reading on histamine issues. Future episodes promise to explore the stages of adrenal fatigue, its impact on health, and potential recovery strategies. 00:00 - Intro 00:29 - Diving Deep into Adrenal Fatigue 01:00 - Understanding Your Adrenals: The Basics 03:25 - The Modern World vs. Our Adrenal Health 05:39 - Symptoms and Testing for Adrenal Fatigue 08:20 - A Quick Book Recommendation: Histamine Life Hacks 08:59 - Looking Ahead: Navigating Adrenal Fatigue Here's the amazong link (affiliate) for Histamine Lifehacks: https://amzn.to/3QtduV5 Thanks for watching this video!

Doing a good detox protocol takes some preparation and some of the best preparation you can do is finding out if your genes are making detoxification harder for you somewhere. Some gene SNPs have the potential to make detox harder by interfering with phase two conjugation reactions. These include MTHFR, MTR, MTRR, GST, GPX, COMT, HNMT, UGT1A1, SULT genes, NAT1, and NAT2. With each category of gene SNP, I will also give suggestions for improving that aspect of your phase two detoxification reactions. 00:00 - Intro 00:49 - Why SNPs matter and how to test 02:08 - Genes that affect methylation and how to help 02:46 - Genes that affect glutathione and how to help 03:38 - Genes that affect sulfation and how to help 04:20 - Genes that affect glucuronidation and how to help 05:52 - Genetic Rockstars walkthrough 07:42 - Genes that affect acetylation and how to help 08:11 - Amino acid conjugation GENETIC ROCKSTARS (an MTHFR community): community.tohealthwiththat.com FREE COURSE: MTHFR Basics: https://to-health-with-that.teachable.com/p/mthfr-basics WORK WITH DR.

In the last episode, we discussed the fact that toxins come from food, air, water, personal care products, and pretty much everything we encounter. Detoxification is an ongoing process that is always at work in your body. Here are the basics about how detoxification happens, what resources your body needs, and why it sometimes feels yucky. Detoxification happens in three phases. Phase one involves chemical reactions, mostly in the cytochrome P450 system. Phase two comprises conjugation reactions so that substances can be transported out of the tissues, and phase three is the active transport of these toxins out of your tissues and into waste material. 00:00 - intro 00:29 - Why Detox is easy to get wrong 01:19 - Three phases of detoxification 01:40 - Detoxification Phase one and cytochrome P450 system 02:31 - Genetic Rockstars quick walk-through 04:36 - Detoxification Phase two, conjugation reactions, and gene SNPS 05:15 - Phase three reactions and toxin transport 05:43 - You have to eliminate to detox 06:26 - Water and detox 06:50 - Limit toxin exposure 08:05 - Detox uses energy and nutrients 09:01 - Practitioner support and detox kits GENETIC ROCKSTARS (an MTHFR community): community.tohealthwiththat.com FREE COURSE: MTHFR Basics: https://courses.tohealthwiththat.com/p/mthfr-basics WORK WITH DR.
