Ancient Health Podcast

Show Notes

Having trouble getting pregnant and can't figure out why? Struggling to lose weight even if you're a gym rat? The answer to both problems may be that your nervous system doesn't feel safe. And if so your body will block fertility, weight loss, and hormone balance every single time.

In this special live episode of the Ancient Health Podcast, Doctor Chris Motley, along with Dr. Anis Khalaf, interviewed Dr. Kela Smith, a hormone + fertility specialist, and creator of the Hormone Puzzle and the Hormone Puzzle Podcast, and Terry Barga a restorative fitness expert and producer of Nashville Fit Magazine for a mastermind on nutrition, fitness, and how to get your body to rest, relax, repair and reproduce. Hint: over-working out and calorie deficits can leave your system feeling unsafe, leading to hormonal disruption.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why your body won't conceive, lose weight, or balance hormones while it's in fight-or-flight, and the simple daily practice that shifts you out of survival mode

How overexercising tanked Dr. Kayla's own fertility as a personal trainer, and how she pregnant twice, with her second child born at 40

The truth about intermittent fasting for women: it may be wreaking havoc on your hormones

How joy, stress-relief, whole food and a 20 minute walk can do more than you would have thought possible.

Expert opinions on the carnivore diet, seed-cycling and more

Treated the infection and it came back? Look at your spouse and your house. Dr. Chris Motley talks with Drs. Michael and Noah Lebowitz about how fast mold grows after a leak, why humidity alone is enough, and why to replace your pillow. They also cover the questions to ask about when you got sick, Typhoid Mary and the carrier who feels fine, Leviticus on mold and a week of isolation, and Lyme in a 5,300-year-old mummy.

A 15-herb cleanse gives you only about 30 to 50 mg of each herb, and a lot of people feel worse on it. Dr. Chris Motley sits down with Drs. Michael and Noah Lebowitz to talk about total load, why chasing one infection misses the rest, the milk thistle mycotoxin problem, and what “other ingredients” on a label really means. They also cover what’s on your organic produce, including a 2026 Texas settlement with Sprouts.

Spinning attacks, a full ear, a roar you can’t shut off: that’s the classic Ménière’s picture. But a migraine that never causes a headache can mimic it almost exactly. Dr. Chris Motley explains the one test that tells them apart (the audiogram), why every Ménière’s treatment seems to work (in the biggest drug trial, the placebo group got better too), what Chinese medicine wrote about the spinning room 1,800 years ago, and four steps to take before anyone treats your ear. Sources are in the show notes. Educational only, not medical advice.

The viral fungus numbers are real: about 7,300 deaths and 130,000 hospitalizations a year, per the CDC. But those figures count fungal infections, not the mold behind your shower. Dr. Chris Motley explains what damp buildings probably do to health (asthma, wheeze, cough, respiratory infections), why a urine mycotoxin test can't tell you if your home is making you sick, how Chinese Medicine describes "dampness," and the step that matters most: find the water.

Tight jaw, shoulders up by your ears, waking at 3 a.m.? Somatic movement teacher Liz Tenuto, author of When the Body Speaks, joins Dr. Chris Motley to explore where the body holds stress, why she favors tiny, lazy movements over force, why animals shake it off, and how to recognize when you’re still bracing. Dr. Motley adds the Chinese Medicine perspective on the jaw and waking at 3 a.m.
