Marketing Tips for Doctors: How to Grow a Practice From Zero Patients

The Dark Matter in Food Shaping Your Brain
Your food contains far more than protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, and minerals. Researchers have identified more than 100,000 molecules in food, and most of them never appear on a nutrition label. In this episode of The Empowering Neurologist, Dr. David Perlmutter sits down with his son, Dr. Austin Perlmutter, to explore the "dark matter" of nutrition: thousands of plant compounds called polyphenols. They discuss how these nutrients may influence the gut microbiome, the immune system, inflammation, blood flow, metabolism, and gene expression, and what high-polyphenol diets may mean for memory and the aging brain. Dr. Austin also shares his research on Himalayan Tartary buckwheat and what an early study suggests about epigenetics, cognition, and healthy aging. He offers practical ways to find more polyphenols in everyday foods like coffee, tea, dark chocolate, berries, legumes, and extra virgin olive oil, plus simple tips for identifying better options at the grocery store. You don't need an expensive supplement plan to begin. Adding more natural colors and bitter flavors to your plate can be a meaningful first step.
Mold, Mycotoxins & the Biotoxin Illness Explosion
Discover how mold growth, airborne spores, fragments, and mycotoxins differ—and why both the building environment and food supply may contribute to exposure. Understand why people sharing the same environment can respond differently based on sleep, nutrition, movement, stress, genetics, mitochondrial energy, and elimination. Learn why mold recovery should include investigating ongoing exposure, supporting mitochondrial energy, opening drainage pathways, and preparing the body before deeper detoxification.
Why Perimenopause Can Trigger Histamine Problems
Discover how estrogen fluctuations may increase mast cell reactivity while declining progesterone can reduce calming support during perimenopause. Understand why symptoms such as alcohol intolerance, rashes, allergies, palpitations, insomnia, headaches, food reactions, and flushing may become more noticeable in midlife. Learn the difference between histamine intolerance and MCAS, how DAO fits into the picture, and why hormones, mold, gut health, sleep, stress, and the nervous system all need to be considered.
Food, Culture, and the Secret to Lasting Change
Discover how honoring your cultural foods and traditions can make healthy eating feel familiar and enjoyable rather than restrictive, while creating a more sustainable path toward better health. Understand why family, friends, shared meals, and community experiences can become powerful sources of support when making meaningful lifestyle changes. Learn how to build healthier habits around the foods you already know and love by returning to traditional plant-rich ingredients, taking small practical actions, and finding a community that supports your goals.
Holistic Psychiatrist Presents Season of the Witch
Dr. Ellen Vora argues that many people, especially women, suppressed their intuitive, "witchy" side to gain safety and respect in a rational culture. That suppression served a purpose, but suppressed parts "don't go down without a fight." She invites listeners to ask whether their skepticism is truly theirs or cultural conditioning they absorbed. After her mother died suddenly while Dr. Vora was six months pregnant, her secular, atheist worldview became untenable. Opening to the possibility of an ongoing connection transformed her resilience and her clinical practice. She now prays and sets intentions before seeing patients and creates space for their spiritual questions. Dr. Vora sees intuition as more than unconscious pattern recognition. She calls it "the witch's compass," sensed through the heart, gut, and body. She supports wearables as a tool but warns they can create a nocebo effect and weaken our trust in our own embodied awareness.
What We Still Don’t Know About Autism, Vaccines, and Long COVID
Understand why autism requires a multifactorial investigation, as Dr. McCullough discusses parental age, prematurity, genetics, prenatal exposures, and vaccines while challenging how some vaccine-autism studies have been designed and interpreted. Examine Dr. McCullough’s interpretation of long COVID and post-vaccination symptoms, including his focus on persistent spike protein, immune dysregulation, histamine-related symptoms, and the approaches he believes warrant further clinical research. Learn the everyday health practices Dr. McCullough emphasizes beyond medical treatment, including oral and nasal hygiene, maintaining a healthy weight, controlling food intake, exercising consistently, and taking greater responsibility for long-term health.
The Magnificent Seven: Dr. Bob Rakowski’s Blueprint for Vibrant Health
Discover how resolving inflammation—not suppressing it—using SPMs and targeted nutrition can dramatically improve energy, immunity, and chronic conditions. Understand how chronic stress shuts down detoxification, immunity, and joy—and learn Dr. Bob’s practical “Stress Reset” strategy to shift from fight-or-flight into healing mode. Uncover the Magnificent Seven daily habits—eat right, drink right, think right, move right, sleep right, poop right, talk right—that create resilient, long-term health.
He Was Doing Everything Right, But His Patients Weren’t Getting Better
Measure before you treat, then measure again. Every new patient at Frank's Carson City clinic gets a mitochondrial function test and an endothelial function test before they ever see him. People taking 20 supplements want to know if any of it is working, and objective numbers either confirm the routine or tell them to change it. The idea underneath everything he does is dose. Frank builds his work on Paracelsus's principle that a substance's toxicity lies in the dose, not the substance itself. That is how he makes sense of giving an oxidant to patients under oxidative stress, and why he says getting the dose right is central to how his academy trains doctors. What ozone looks like as a cash service. Frank's rough guide is about $500 a session in a big market and $250 in a smaller one. He delivers it as a series, often over two to three months, and schedules around how often a patient can realistically get to the clinic.
