Why Millions of Lyme Cases Go Undiagnosed Every Year With Dr. Myriah Hinchey

The Woman Who Helped Jelly Roll Get Fit Without Ozempic With Danese Rexroad

About a quarter of adults in the United States now take at least four prescriptions a day. Most of them take more. Yet outside of antibiotics, almost nothing on the shelf is meant to cure you. Closing that gap is what Danese Rexroad does. As Chief Clinical Officer at Ways2Well, she goes upstream of disease, asking why the body is breaking down rather than writing another script to cover it. Her belief is that the choices you make in your 30s and 40s decide whether you spend your 80s in the gym or in a nursing home.  We get into why perimenopause is hitting women in their 30s, and the bioidentical hormone study she says got it all wrong. She walks me through the trauma-room moment that flipped her thinking on the root cause. We also talk about her work with Jelly Roll, who walked in on 27 prescriptions and walked out on three. "The average American is on at least four prescriptions. None of those are curative." ~ Danese Rexroad Support the show and get 50% off olive oil with free shipping—just leave us a review on iTunes and Spotify and let us know! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566] Resources Mentioned  ReviveRx Pharmacy: https://reviverx.com/ [https://reviverx.com/]  About Danese Rexroad Danese Rexroad, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, is a native Texan who earned her BSN from Lamar University and her MSN from Chamberlain University.

The Leading Cause of Disability in Women Under 50 With Dr. Amelia Scott Barrett

What do you think is the main cause of disability for women under 50? Is it cancer? Or maybe depression? Is it perhaps back pain? No. None of the above. The leading cause is migraine. Dr. Amelia Scott Barrett has spent her career staring at that fact from the inside. Only one in twenty people who have migraine ever gets properly diagnosed, and the rest spend years calling it tension or stress or sinus pressure while their brains discreetly change in the background. Two headache days a week is all it takes to start the damage. Amelia and I get into the four biological systems she's identified as the root causes of migraine, as well as why the standard "pop a pill and power through" approach has let millions of women around the world down. "Migraine is the number one cause of disability in women under 50. That is a huge impact on women who are right in the prime of their lives." ~ Dr. Amelia Scott Barrett Support the show and get 50% off MCT oil with free shipping—just leave us a review on iTunes and Spotify and let us know! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566] In This Episode: 00:00 Introduction 01:59 Dr. Barrett's early interest in medicine and the brain 05:28 Med school, learning to fly, and the road to neurology 09:42 How often does a migraine go undiagnosed? 12:22 What happens to the brain with frequent headaches 19:22 White matter lesions and what they signal 24:56 Where conventional migraine treatment falls short 30:25 How DNA points to the four systems behind migraine 34:46 The link between migraine and dementia 36:20 How mitochondria fit into migraine 41:30 Taking melatonin compared to a common migraine drug 45:30 Why trial and error doesn't work for migraine 53:53 Wrap-up questions and where to find Dr. Barrett Resources Mentioned  The Headache Quiz: https://theheadachequiz.com/ [https://theheadachequiz.com/]  Migraine Relief Code podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/migraine-relief-code-with-dr-amelia-scott-barrett-md/id1793802899 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/migraine-relief-code-with-dr-amelia-scott-barrett-md/id1793802899]  Decode Your Migraine by Dr. Amelia Scott Barrett ( coming summer 2026): https://migrainereliefcode.com/book [https://migrainereliefcode.com/book]  About Amelia Scott Barrett Dr. Amelia Scott Barrett is a Stanford-trained, board-certified neurologist and the founder of Migraine Relief Code, a precision-medicine program that uses genetic testing and functional medicine to address the root causes of migraine.

Why Millions of Lyme Cases Go Undiagnosed Every Year With Dr. Myriah Hinchey

You can test negative for Lyme over and over. Your bloodwork can look fine. Even your doctor can tell you it's just stress. Meanwhile, the infection keeps doing damage. An estimated 3.5 million Americans go through this every year. Dr. Myriah Hinchey knows that better than most. She was bitten by a tick when she was around ten. Her Lyme test came back negative, and she was sent home. What followed were decades of strange anxiety and brain fog she couldn't explain, until everything finally crashed in her mid-thirties, and even her doctor brushed her off. She had to diagnose herself. Myriah and I get into why the testing for so many of these conditions misses what's going on, and how chronic infections sit underneath everything from autoimmune disease to neurological symptoms that most doctors blame on something else.

How the Way You Breathe Is Shortening Your Life With Dr. John Douillard

Whatever shows up in your bloodwork has usually been building for a long time. The problem with modern medicine is that it steps in at the end of that process, not the beginning. Dr. John Douillard keeps coming back to one single question. Why do we wait so long? Forty years as a chiropractor and Ayurvedic practitioner have convinced him that the body starts dropping hints well before anything shows up on a test, and that most of us have been taught to wave those hints away until there's a real problem to deal with. We dig into where the trouble usually starts, why so much of it traces back to your gut, and what a system that's been around for 5,000 years figured out about the body that our lab work still tends to miss.

The Scientist Trying To Upload The Human Brain, With Dr. Randal Koene

At 13, Randal read a science fiction novel and set out to upload a human brain. The surprising part is how far he's gotten. Dr. Randal Koene is a computational neuroscientist and the founder of the Carbon Copies Foundation, a nonprofit working to preserve and one day emulate the human brain. Not long ago, the idea of keeping someone's memory and identity alive past death sat squarely in the realm of science fiction. Randal is one of the people trying to drag it into the lab. Chris asks him how any of this would work, and Randal explains it in plain terms. Does who you are come down to the brain alone? What can split-brain studies tell us about consciousness being something we narrate to ourselves? And would an uploaded mind still need to sleep? Find out in this episode. "What we experience as consciousness is to a large degree a narrative, a story that we tell ourselves." ~ Dr. Randal Koene Support the show and get 50% off Olive oil with free shipping—just leave us a review on iTunes and Spotify and let us know! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/live-beyond-the-norms/id1714886566] In This Episode: 00:00 Introduction 02:21 Growing up between nuclear reactors and CERN 05:02 The Arthur C.

He went on to found the Carbon Copies Foundation, where he leads the research effort to build tools and methods that could one day allow a mind to continue beyond the body it began in.
