EH&R Metabolic Transformations Podcast

Detoxification, Purification, Cultural Stress & Metabolic Health with Dr. Jennifer Coomes (S2, E1, 9-20-25)

Join Dr. Jennifer Coomes for Episode #1 of Season #2 of the EH&R Metabolic Transformations Podcast where she talks about the difficulties of cultural stress, grief, and impacts after the passing of Charlie Kirk, a political activist in the United States who was driven to live nonviolently in the active search for truth, conversation, family, and divinity.  Regardless of your political or religious viewpoints, serious cultural events such as assassinations, suicide, trauma, and more can have serious impacts on our psychological, physical, mental, spiritual, and mental health.  The best we can do in this time of processing and healing is to talk about realities, how to stabilize better, and how to sort through cultural stress better to reduce violence, mental health imbalances, and more.   While this episode may be triggering for some, its primary intention focuses on how to live better, how to process stress better, how to live in your truth better, and how to consciously reduce noise to decrease anxiety, ADHD, and more.   For more information, reach out to: Essence Health & Research (EH&R) Dr. Jennifer Coomes (DCN), Executive Director drcoomes@essencehealthandresearch.com 425.505.3090

The "drive" series is dedicated to the Prevention of Suicide and Motivation of Grief.  The the third episode in this series called "Shed the Extra, Remember What Matters" is an episode about the rebuilding process after loss and grief.   Many times, if we lose someone or something important to us, it can pivot our lives entirely and make so many things that you thought were important less important for good reason.  This episode talks about some of the similar concepts of self care and making important choices about diet, health, lifestyle, personal time, mental health, stress coping mechanisms, and personal choices in the framework of grief and loss.  This can be a time period where you are forced to make changes when you otherwise would not, and you can get into the habit of hearing the same ideas over and over again until you finally tune in and say that it's important to carve out what is important and shed what is not.  This episode encourages you, enables, you to ask for help if needed and get started on what matters in your life while tending to yourself and the outside world gently as you navigate during times of change. If you are someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts or mental health crisis, please call or text 988 or reach out to for help with someone you know.  No matter how hard the time is, your life is important.  Please reach out for help until you get it.

Drive Series: Physiology of Depression & Motivation with Dr. Jennifer Coomes (S1, E25, 12-9-24)

The "drive" series is dedicated to the Prevention of Suicide and Motivation of Grief.  The the second episode in this series called "The Physiology of Depression & Motivation" as a piggyback on the first week about the physiology of grief.  The key elements of depression require us to really understand depression from a metabolic perspective to learn more deeply about its mechanisms of disease that are not always thought of, especially in "treatment resistant" depression cases that are simply not responding to medication but would respond to metabolic healthcare. Some of these mechanisms include blood sugar regulation, hormone regulation, cortisol regulation, and more.  It's more than a discussion of neurotransmitters but a discussion of systems biology, micronutrient imbalances, and the functionality of our healthcare system in how we are currently approaching this very important mental health condition.   Swinging into a life of motivation, better energy, and better momentum can change your life, and it is a matter of commitment and choices to understand your personal health in a new way and create the kind of alignment in your life to steer towards your best health and be willing to save yourself from burnout, suicidal thoughts, and actions that are detrimental to your health.  Join Dr. Coomes for an empowering, honest, real time, and informative look at shifting out of grief and depression and into a more fulfilling life after loss.  For more information, please reach out: Essence Health & Research (EH&R) Dr. Jennifer Coomes (DCN) drcoomes@essencehealthandreseach.com www.essencehealthandresearch.com 425.505.3090
