On today's episode I'm talking with Dr. Mary Pardee, a renowned expert in the field of gut health and optimization. She is based in Los Angeles, California, and has established herself as a leading voice in the understanding and treatment of gastrointestinal issues and their connection to overall health.

In this episode, we delve into 2 big issues- gut health and sleep optimization. We discuss her insights and approach to gut health, the gut microbiome, the gut-brain connection, along with her own personal journey with this issue. We then shift gears to speak about sleep optimization - which stems from her personal story of a concussion sustained during a boating accident, leading to sleep issues, and how that was eventually treated with cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI).

And check out Dr Mary Pardee on Instagram or at modrnmed.com or her brand new podcast!

Emma and I had a quick "download style" discussion about the importance and benefits of Vitamin D. Below are a few of the points we hit on in our conversation.

Did you know...

• Why you need more vitamin D?
• How much do you need?
• How much is “too much”?

And did you know about these benefits and effects of Vitamin D:

• Immune system regulation
• Cell differentiation and growth
• Muscle function and strength
• Cardiovascular health
• Blood pressure management
• Neurologic health
• Anti-inflammatory
• Cytokine release

Vitamin D receptors are spread all throughout the body...

The more you learn, the more you realize how essential Vitamin D is.

Today is all about a great conversation with our friend Seneca Dewbre, who owns @okiepuncture. Acupuncture is one of those "if you know, you know" topics within the medical community that's not often talked about, but often used. We asked some of the most common questions as well as branching into other areas we've discussed in previous episodes (ice baths and saunas) as well as how it fits into a lifestyle focused on wellness and longevity.

If you're interested in some more detailed information, you can read an author manuscript here that discusses some of the benefits of acupuncture.

This episode is focused on the correlation between mental health and habits and trauma and its affects on our longterm health....kind of a "hot take" we mentioned in the previous episode. While it's admittedly a really aggressive idea, it's one worth discussing and considering.

Listen in to Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Kevin Hoffarth of Biofit Medicine, a long time friend and colleague. His book, "Functional Medicine - The New Standard" is available on Amazon and a great introduction to a lot of ideas Prime Health Associates is built on. You can also follow his Instagram here.

This episode's title, "The Book Of Disease in Reverse" refers to the attempt to get in front of health problems instead of just reacting to them after they're already negatively impacting our lives. It's about looking at our bodies and our health and making adjustments ahead of time to "head off" future issues, which leads to better outcomes and an improved lifespan.

We had so many questions and so much interest in our previous episode with Sam Bond that we had to have him back on to discuss some of the ways you can utilize your DEXA scan to assess next steps in your exercise and eating plans to optimize health and energy.
Whether you're focused on losing fat or gaining muscle, your DEXA scan is a great way to identify incremental changes based on real information about your own body. It's also a great way to measure sustainable and realistic habits that help you reach your goals.
