    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.

The Real Reason Antidepressants Aren't Fixing Your Brain Fog, Fatigue, and Gut Issues w/ Dr. Sakina Davis
Q: What role does gut testing play in diagnosing and treating autoimmune conditions?
Gut testing helps identify dysbiosis, parasites, inflammation, and enzymatic issues; results guide personalized interventions like targeted probiotics, prebiotics, postbiotics, and dietary changes to reduce inflammation and support immune balance.
The Real Reason Antidepressants Aren't Fixing Your Brain Fog, Fatigue, and Gut Issues w/ Dr. Sakina Davis
Q: How do you balance testing with practicality to avoid over-testing?
We tailor testing to the clinical picture, selecting essential markers that can guide treatment while avoiding an overwhelming number of tests; we start with core indicators of inflammation and immune activity and add more only if needed based on patient response and evolving symptoms.
The Real Reason Antidepressants Aren't Fixing Your Brain Fog, Fatigue, and Gut Issues w/ Dr. Sakina Davis
Q: What does a typical autoimmune-focused visit look like and what labs are useful beyond standard panels?
A typical visit is extended (often 45 minutes to an hour) to review symptoms, history, and potential triggers, followed by targeted lab work that expands beyond basic panels to include thyroid antibodies, inflammatory markers, and immune panels to assess for mold, toxins, and cytokines as needed.
Is Going Gluten-Free Enough? The Hidden Problem in "Healthy" Foods w/ Dr Steven Gundry
Q: You mentioned exposure and genetics in sensitivity to lectins; how do you assess who is affected?
Testing for lectin sensitivity can identify people who react to specific foods; some light up to lectins while others don't, and panels from labs like Vibrant Wellness help tailor diets by identifying trigger foods—an approach Gundry refined in his later work to differentiate food sensitivities from classic food allergies.
Is Going Gluten-Free Enough? The Hidden Problem in "Healthy" Foods w/ Dr Steven Gundry
Q: What sparked your dive into lectins beyond traditional healthy diets?
A case involving a vitiligo patient who experienced remission when lectin-reducing dietary changes were applied, followed by a recurrence when those changes were undone, demonstrated to him that lectins could have real, measurable impacts on autoimmune conditions and justified deeper investigation into plant compounds and gut interactions.
