Mental health issues are at epidemic levels.
By age 40, almost 50% of the population will have had a mental illness.
Why are more people suffering from anxiety, depression, or other mental issues?
In this episode I talk about an often overlooked cause...Childhood medications.
I talk about antibiotics and leaky gut syndrome, Birth control pills and B12, and other over the counter drugs.
Over the years, we've talked a lot about insulin...specifically high circulating insulin. When your insulin levels are too high for too long, you're at risk for EVERY major disease.
In fact, if you have chronically elevated insulin...
You'll end up with either...
Heart Disease
Cancer
Alzheimer's or Dementia
Diabetes
How do you know if your insulin levels are high?
Based on tens of thousands of patient visits over the years...I've seen many different possible symptoms associated with high circulating insulin.
And...many of the symptoms are surprising.
In this episode I talk about insulin.
How insulin works, and what food does to insulin levels.
I also talk about why 'good' carbs can still cause you big problems...especially if you're metabolically damaged.
Inflammation is a big problem. Many say, inflammation is the root of all disease. But is it?

In this episode we talk about the effect cortisol has on men and women. High cortisol causes fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, brain fog in both men and women.

We also talk about how high cortisol causes thyroid symptoms and estrogen dominance symptoms in women. Controlling cortisol is one of the most important things you can do for your health.
