  • Good info but…

    The guests are amazing, and such good information. However, the new host has some room for improvement. She sounds very unrefined and doesn’t ask deep, insightful questions. It’s just a lot of exclamatory responses and very valley girl. “Like, OMG, wow! Hard to listen to now.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

First Aid Kit for Cold and Flu Season
Q: What do you think about zinc and vitamin C?
Zakaria discusses vitamin C as supportive and potentially helpful for cold symptoms and duration, and zinc as a possible early intervention. She describes lozenges and oral supplements, gives formulation-dependent dosing suggestions, and cautions against prolonged high-dose zinc because it can affect copper status.
First Aid Kit for Cold and Flu Season
Q: When is it okay to manage these things at home, and when should people get medical advice or be testing?
Zakaria recommends keeping accessible tests for infections such as COVID-19, flu and strep, particularly when results could affect precautions. People with pre-existing conditions, persistent symptoms, fever or dehydration risk should consider medical attention, and higher-risk patients may need prompt care.
Health Meets Wellness: The App and Dr. Edens’ Story
Q: How did you end up creating your app, and who is it for?
The app grew out of a need for more touchpoints between visits and to give patients a structured way to track meals, activity, and symptoms, with a version available for non-clinic patients and a rebrand focused on women's health.
Health Meets Wellness: The App and Dr. Edens’ Story
Q: What led you to the integration of conventional and functional medicine in your practice?
I wanted to practice medicine in a way that honors the mind-body connection and helps people feel their best, not just treat symptoms in isolation, so I started blending guideline-based care with integrative tools to tailor treatments to each person.
The Gut Ecosystem: An Update on How Keystone Species Shape the Microbiome
Q: What practical considerations should clinicians keep in mind when starting patients on this multispecies approach?
Clinicians should start slowly, monitor tolerance, and consider fiber and polyphenol intake to nourish engraftment; gradual dosing (e.g., ramping, or 1 cap every few days) is advised to prevent die-off and allow the ecosystem to establish; also, patients with SIBO or histamine intolerance may require cautious initiation.
