Media, Medicine, and Money: Sharyl Attkisson’s Pharma Exposé, Part 1
April 10, 2024
Have you ever wondered about the strings that control the narratives in health journalism? Sit tight as Sharyl Attkisson, a seasoned investigative reporter and author of "Follow the $cience: How Big Pharma Misleads, Obscures, and Prevails," peels back the curtain on the pharmaceutical industry's grip over media and public health policy. Our riveting conversation, rooted in Sharyl's transition from mainstream media to the independent front, exposes how corporate interests dictate the news we consume, especially in health and medical reporting. Her eye-opening book, becomes our compass, guiding us through the maze of biases that infiltrate medical journalism. Amidst a global pandemic, the discourse on public health has been fraught with contradictions and skepticism. Together with Sharyl, we dissect the mixed messaging from government authorities, the controversial dialogues about mask use, vaccine efficacy, and the increasingly apparent distrust in these agencies. We also shine a spotlight on 'big food's' influence over dietary guidelines and health policies, calling into question the real impact of well-intentioned movements that may inadvertently endorse unhealthy lifestyles, all under the watchful eye of industry giants. In our quest for truth, we scrutinize the psychological effects of medical messaging, the controversies engulfing vaccine debates, and the influence of financial might on fact-checking entities and medical research. Cheryl's insights into the veiled mechanisms of medical discourse reveal a landscape where political agendas often overshadow urgent public health needs. We end on a note of empowerment, underscoring the significance of independent journalism and the need for a patient-centered approach in navigating the complexities of the American healthcare system. Join us as we unravel the knots of misinformation and manipulation in medicine, and champion the cause for accurate, unbiased reporting. Click HERE for part 2.

Exploring the Critical Link Between Gut Health and Overall Wellbeing with Dr. Michael Ruscio, Part 1
April 9, 2024
Have you ever considered that the key to your mood swings or unshakeable fatigue might be lurking within your gut? This episode pulls back the curtain on our digestive systems with the expertise of Dr. Michael Ruscio, gut health guru and author of "Healthy Gut, Healthy You." We embark on an eye-opening discussion about the often underestimated power of the gastrointestinal tract, from its influence on our energy and sleep to its intricate connection with mental health and thyroid function. Dr. Ruscio shares his own transformative experience, revealing how a gut infection could disguise itself as insomnia and emotional turbulence. As we unravel the threads between what we eat, how we feel, and the health of our gut, the conversation turns to the interplay between diet and chronic conditions like Hashimoto's disease. Dr. Ruscio offers invaluable insights into the nuances of dietary interventions such as the low FODMAP and autoimmune paleo diets, urging a thoughtful approach to food choices that transcends the fads and fears of unnecessary restrictions. We dissect the hype around gluten-free living, providing a balanced perspective on when it's truly integral to our health and when it might be overkill. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting dietary advice, this discussion aims to bring clarity and empower your decision-making. Closing out this enlightening journey, we dive into the promise of probiotics and botanicals, exploring the intersection of gut flora, metabolic health, and the use of 'triple therapy' probiotics. However, it's not just about what you ingest – we also delve into the pivotal role of mental wellness in physical health. I share strategies that fortify mental resilience, such as limbic retraining and embracing nature. Dr. Ruscio brings it all together, providing a roadmap for navigating the complex synergy of our minds, immune systems, and gut health. Tune in and equip yourself with the knowledge to steer your health towards a more harmonious future. Click HERE for part 2.
