How does being High Funtioning mask Healing Response? with Gina Dang
Knowing is not healing. Gina could name what had happened to her in clinical language and still could not stop the panic. What moved things was a treatment that never asked her to retell the story, only to be in her body while someone else worked on it. Sustainability is not only an environmental question. Because we are not separate from nature, she reads it at the scale of one person: the seasons of a year, the seasons of a life, the cues a body gives about when to eat, rest and move. Overriding those cues is its own kind of extraction. Place leaves a mark on physiology. In Oregon she saw damp and cold, paler and more swollen tongues, bodies holding water. Back home in Los Angeles almost everyone arrives with a red tongue tip, in a city where the common idea of relaxing is planning a vacation.

3 Ways to make Regenerative Therapies Work Better
How do you actually make PRP and biologic therapies work better? It comes down to three things. Enrich. Mobilize. Activate. Enrich is like feeding your garden soil before you plant seeds — a Mediterranean diet full of colorful fruits, vegetables, protein, and fish oils builds the foundation your body needs to heal. Mobilize means staying active. Movement and exercise turn on the mechanisms your body relies on to repair itself. Activate is the missing piece. Your body heals a cut or a bruise on its own — but a wound that won’t quite heal needs a stronger stimulus to kickstart that process again. Getting that dose and stimulus right is the difference between a treatment that works and one that doesn’t. Non-surgical. Drug-free. Research-backed. #RegenerativeMedicine #PRP #Biologics #NonSurgical #ChapelHill
You might not have a hormone problem. You probably have a sleep, stress, and connection problem.
What Doctors May Miss When Treating Cancer | Dr. Jim Chialtas
Functional medicine looks beyond the diagnosis Dr. Chialtas explains that functional medicine focuses on the mechanisms and underlying factors associated with a condition rather than simply treating the diagnosis. He discusses looking for early metabolic, nutritional, thyroid, blood sugar, and inflammatory patterns through more comprehensive testing. Nutrition, movement, and gut health are foundational The conversation emphasizes returning to whole foods, reducing highly processed foods, staying physically active, and increasing the diversity of plant foods and fiber. Dr. Chialtas discusses the relationship between gut health, the microbiome, immune function, and overall health, while stressing that dietary approaches should be individualized. Cancer care should address the whole person Dr. Chialtas emphasizes that functional medicine can be used as supportive care alongside conventional oncology, with careful attention to timing and potential interactions. He also highlights emotional and spiritual well-being, relationships, hope, and quality of life as important parts of navigating cancer.
Men Have Hormones Too
Normal labs can still leave a man feeling off. A total testosterone test on its own can look fine while much of that testosterone is bound to sex hormone-binding globulin, which a colleague of mine calls the Uber that drives hormones around the body. Dr. Mark wants the fuller panel checked before anyone says everything looks fine. Sleep may be the biggest lever. Dr. Mark says men who regularly sleep less than six and a half hours a night can expect their hormones to take a hit. Resistance training at least twice a week and a healthy body weight help too, and none of it needs a prescription. Erectile dysfunction can be an early heart warning. Diseased arteries affect blood flow everywhere, so trouble with erections at any age can be the first sign of cardiovascular disease. It's a reason to get a proper heart workup, and a reason to look past the band-aid pill.
