    Really appreciate her communication style! Very wise and refuses to talk over her listeners’ heads. Her patients are lucky!

  • Love this podcast and recommend often - but sound quality is tough lately.

    One of my favorite podcasts and I always learn something. Sound quality lately is lacking though. Guests are so much louder than Dr. E.

    I hope you can figure out the issue soon. Keep up the great work!

  • I need to share - treatment like a miracle, I swear

    Please read this: you must try Suboxone Film (only .5 mg! - tiny dose) and you can live a normal life as I do —- I suffered for years- it is scheduled III (unlike opioids schedule II) and doctors can write it off-label for pain like many many drugs are prescribed. It is generic. Works great with your gabapentin-take 3 hours before you wake up (set alarm, go back to bed or take to sleep pain free). It WILL let you lead a normal life. I tried to go 1 day without it and I was in AGONY. Bless you al... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hormone Testing In Perimenopause And Why You Should Ask For It ft. Dr. Tara Scott
Q: Can you walk us through what the proper hormone evaluation actually looks like?
A comprehensive evaluation includes baseline labs such as FSH, LH, estradiol, progesterone, free and total testosterone along with SHBG, plus adrenal markers like DHEA-S; sometimes AM cortisol is considered. A full metabolic panel, HbA1c, lipid panel, and inflammatory markers are used to assess overall metabolic health, which informs treatment decisions and cardiovascular risk, especially given the higher heart disease risk in women as they age.
What Dairy Is Doing To Your Child's Gut And Skin ft. Dr. Sheila Kilbane
Q: What made you step out of the box and become a disruptor?
Cases and repeated mom-driven stories showed patterns that dairy and gut health were central to many chronic pediatric issues, prompting a shift toward integrative approaches that reduce inflammation and reliance on medications.
Why Your Sleep Never Went Back To Normal ft. Dr. Daniella Marchetti
Q: What is your take on melatonin and its role in treating insomnia?
Melatonin is not a cure for insomnia and is not meant for long-term use; it is best used for circadian misalignment in short-term, targeted scenarios alongside other modalities, not as a universal sleep solution.
Why Your Sleep Never Went Back To Normal ft. Dr. Daniella Marchetti
Q: What belief about sleep does medicine need to dismantle and what would you replace it with?
Medicine should stop defaulting to medications before behavioral therapies; instead, prioritize behavioral approaches first and reserve medications as a supplementary option when appropriate, with particular caution around melatonin as a long-term solution.
What Your Mitochondria Have To Do With Brain Fog And Chronic Fatigue ft. Dr. Benjamin Busch
Q: What is a pushback a conventional neurologist might have about integrative approaches like Bartonella or mycotoxins testing?
Use evidence-based, literature-backed discussion with peers, presenting targeted references to justify the proposed tests and treatments, and aim to keep references concise and defensible (e.g., 40 references).
