Raising Resilient Teens: Adolescent Mental Health, Treatment, and the Parent–Teen Connection with Dr. Sarah Sicher, MD
Before Dr. Sarah Sicher considers ketamine, she looks at how stable and present the parents are, because a young person in ketamine treatment needs a steadier holding environment at home than an adult does. In Sarah's experience, ketamine can help quickly, which is why she turns to it in an acute crisis, while TMS takes a week or two to show results but has stronger evidence that the benefit lasts. Many teens who self-harm are trying to break through numbness or quiet an anxiety they can't tolerate. Sarah looks for the need underneath the behavior, and the teens who won't talk about it at all are the ones who worry her most.
The Science Behind Sulforaphane: A Conversation with Dr. Jed Fahey
What if broccoli contains a compound that helps activate your brain's natural defense systems? In this episode of The Empowering Neurologist, Dr. David Perlmutter sits down with nutritional biochemist Dr. Jed Fahey, a pioneer in research on broccoli sprouts and sulforaphane, to explore how this fascinating plant compound activates NRF2, one of the body's key cellular defense pathways. Drawing on decades of research, Dr. Fahey explains how glucoraphanin and myrosinase work together to produce sulforaphane, why broccoli sprouts are particularly rich in this precursor compound, and how sulforaphane may support the body's natural detoxification and antioxidant systems. They also explore the connection between NRF2 activation, glutathione, environmental exposures, inflammation, and brain health, along with what emerging research may suggest about neurological health and healthy aging. Dr. Fahey shares practical insights on growing broccoli sprouts at home, getting sulforaphane from food, and what to look for when evaluating supplements.
Your Thyroid Tests Look Normal. But Are They?
Looking Beyond TSH to Understand Thyroid Health Dr. Heather Stone shares her personal experience with weight challenges, low energy, and an absent menstrual cycle, which motivated her to investigate her health and eventually focus on helping other women. She explains why she believes thyroid evaluation should extend beyond TSH alone and discusses thyroid hormone markers and antibodies associated with Hashimoto's and Graves' disease. The conversation emphasizes considering symptoms, laboratory findings, and individual circumstances when evaluating thyroid concerns. Exploring Potential Autoimmune Triggers and Individualized Care Dr. Heather discusses factors she considers when working with patients who have thyroid or autoimmune concerns, including blood sugar regulation, stress, hormonal balance, possible infections, environmental exposures, gut health, and food sensitivities. Laurie and Dr. Heather also explore their perspectives on dairy, gluten, and oral health. These topics are discussed as potential areas for individual assessment, rather than proof that any single factor causes or resolves thyroid dysfunction. The Seven Pillars of Thyroid Transformation Dr. Heather outlines a structured approach to thyroid care that includes setting meaningful goals, comprehensive testing, detailed analysis, customized care, coaching, continued testing, and ongoing refinement. She also discusses Hashimoto's remission, the importance of maintaining adequate thyroid hormone levels when medication is needed, and the role of the pituitary gland in thyroid regulation. The conversation concludes with an encouraging message about persistence, individualized support, and the importance of addressing health concerns with appropriate professional guidance.
But I’ve always believed there are more questions worth asking.
When someone receives a cancer diagnosis, the focus naturally turns to the tumor, the treatment plan, and what comes next. But I've always believed there are more questions worth asking. What is happening in someone's everyday environment? What does their nutrition look like? How much stress have they been carrying? And how can we better understand the person behind the diagnosis? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. B to talk about these questions and why looking at the whole person matters when supporting someone through cancer care. 🎧 Listen now to The Deeper Healing Podcast: https://youtu.be/4HMmAlilPUs Important disclaimer: This episode is for educational and informational purposes only and is not medical advice.

I’ve always believed that a person is so much more than a diagnosis.
I've always believed that a person is so much more than a diagnosis. Behind every medical chart is a human being with a story, a family, emotions, experiences, and a desire to live well. That's something Dr. B and I talk about in this episode of The Deeper Healing Podcast. We explore how nutrition, environment, emotional well-being, and quality of life fit into a whole-person approach to supportive care alongside conventional oncology treatment. This conversation is close to my heart because I want people to feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate their individual health journeys. 🎧 I hope this conversation brings you thoughtful questions and a new perspective: https://youtu.be/4HMmAlilPUs Important disclaimer: This episode is for educational and informational purposes only and is not medical advice.

Are you unknowingly inviting toxins into your life?
We live in a world where invisible threats lurk in our everyday routines. One of the biggest culprits? Endocrine disruptors. They're sneaky, pervasive, and found in places you'd never suspect. Elizabeth Yarnell recently shared her insights on minimizing these disruptors. A simple step: rinse canned goods to reduce BPA exposure. Sounds basic, right? But how often do we actually do it? She's also challenging the norm by pushing for digital receipts. Why handle potentially harmful paper receipts when digital is the future? It's time we rethink our everyday habits and question the status quo. These small changes could be the key to a healthier life. Are you ready to disrupt your routine for the better?
Can you manage your autoimmune trigger load?
Most people accept their autoimmune condition as a life sentence. But what if it doesn't have to be? Elizabeth Yarnell dives into the concept of managing your autoimmune trigger load. It's a radical departure from the usual "just deal with it" mentality. Imagine living with MS or another autoimmune disease without constant fatigue or feeling heavy-headed. It sounds too good to be true, right? But maybe it's not. The key could be in understanding and reducing your autoimmune triggers rather than resigning yourself to unending inflammation.
Is it time to rethink how we approach midlife symptoms?
We need to talk about something that's been flying under the radar: the potential of vaginal CBD for addressing midlife symptoms. In a world obsessed with pharmaceuticals, are we neglecting powerful plant-based solutions? Lisa Williams joins me in this episode to challenge the status quo. Why are we so hesitant to embrace natural remedies when the evidence is mounting? It's time to question the narrative that dismisses plant-based medicine as inferior. The stigma surrounding alternative treatments is palpable, especially in the US. But what if we've been looking at things all wrong? What if the answer to alleviating discomfort is simpler and more natural than we think? This conversation isn't just about CBD. It's about rethinking how we approach health and wellness, especially during midlife. Let's open the dialogue and consider the possibilities that nature has to offer.
