    Steve got my attention initially because his video snippets kept popping up in my SM newsfeed. He is amazing with his depth of knowledge. I’m lucky enough to live near Magnolia Pharmacy and see him for consults. He’s every bit as brilliant in person as he is on his podcasts.

  • Confidently Trusting Steve

    I am beyond thankful for these podcasts! I forwarded this week’s topic on estrogen/progesterone to my daughter in law and neighbor. I recently had a complete hysterectomy and I have begun my hormone replacement in just the past two weeks. Steve is bringing clarity and understanding to all of my questions! This is so important and very needed for all of us!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dr. LaKeischa McMillan on How Perimenopause Affects Sex, Skin, Stress, and More
Q: What pivotal realization did you have about how perimenopause affects the body beyond the ovaries?
I realized it's a multi-system dysregulation involving the adrenals, gut, thyroid, brain chemistry, and overall stress response, not just ovarian hormones.
Heart Disease Prevention: The Food Your Cardiologist Never Mentions w/ Dr. William Davis
Q: Are there practical steps listeners can take now to reduce risk?
Eliminate or greatly reduce wheat and grains, monitor gut health, consider microbiome-focused strategies (like targeted probiotics), and focus on dietary patterns that support insulin sensitivity and fat distribution.
Heart Disease Prevention: The Food Your Cardiologist Never Mentions w/ Dr. William Davis
Q: What role does wheat play in heart disease according to your research?
Modern wheat contains components like amylopectin A and gliadin that disrupt gut integrity, raise blood glucose, and drive liver fat production, which in turn elevates small LDL particles and cardiovascular risk.
Heart Disease Prevention: The Food Your Cardiologist Never Mentions w/ Dr. William Davis
Q: What prompted you to shift from traditional cardiology to a focus on diet and the microbiome?
A personal and professional awakening after seeing patients deteriorate despite aggressive conventional treatment; the realization that many heart-disease drivers lie in diet, gut health, and metabolic processes rather than solely in LDL cholesterol.
Advanced Tests Don't Always Make You Healthier, Here's Why w/ Dr. Cheryl Burdette
Q: What is the role of probiotics in repairing the gut and retraining the immune system, and are there specific types you recommend for sensitive patients?
Probiotics help train the gut immune system and support tolerance by shaping the microbiome. For sensitive patients, spore-based probiotics can be preferable due to lower risk of triggering dysbiosis and fewer antagonistic interactions in a fragile gut. Dose and regimen should be tailored to the individual, with attention to bowel movement patterns and potential initial discomfort, gradually adjusting as tolerance improves.
