Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Real Root Causes of Anxiety | Functional Medicine Explained | Everest Goldstein
Q: What is your workup for a patient with anxiety?
The guest describes a full functional medicine workup: a prolonged, thorough history with a timeline of symptoms, questions about antecedents, triggers, and mediators; toxin exposure assessment; gut health evaluation; sleep, exercise, and diet review; and a broad panel of tests including salivary cortisol, comprehensive blood work (vitamins, thyroid, hemoglobin A1c, CMP, CBC, minerals), gut microbiome or stool testing, and toxin screens for mold and heavy metals when indicated. If tests are costly, prioritization is guided by clinical presentation; continuous glucose monitoring can reveal blood sugar triggers; genetics (e.g., MTHFR, COMT) may be considered. The aim is to identify root causes rather than simply labeling anxiety.
Hormone Health, Sexual Wellness & Age Management with Dr. John Carrozzella
Q: Could you walk through the eight parameters you monitor and why they matter?
We monitor fasting glucose, fasting insulin, HbA1c, SHBG, total cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides, and triglyceride-to-HDL ratio because their collective deviations strongly indicate insulin resistance and future cardiac risk.
Hormone Health, Sexual Wellness & Age Management with Dr. John Carrozzella
Q: What are the key hormonal targets you focus on for this patient population?
We rebalance estrogen, testosterone, thyroid, and progesterone, recognizing their direct ties to insulin and carbohydrate metabolism and overall cardiovascular risk.
Hormone Health, Sexual Wellness & Age Management with Dr. John Carrozzella
Q: How do patients typically end up in your practice for preventive cardiology?
Most patients come for standard hormonal health concerns, and we identify those at cardiac risk through our metabolic profiling, which then guides further testing and preventive strategies.
Understanding Chronic Kidney Disease Through a Functional Medicine Lens with Dr. M Isreb
Q: How do you evaluate cardiometabolic contributors to CKD and what tests are most informative?
Key tests include insulin resistance markers (HOMA-IR), C-peptide, A1C, and for blood pressure and adrenal causes, 24-hour urine metanephrines and aldosterone/cortisol; a comprehensive serologic and UA panel guides the assessment.
