Show Notes
What does live television at two in the morning actually do to you? Are the calls real, or is somebody feeding you a script? And what happens when you walk away from the job that paid for your hair, your clothes and your bills? Helen Keaney and I were both hosts at HSN, and she is a national headliner now, doing stand up full time in a city where she knew nobody when she arrived. I did twenty four years there myself. This is the conversation we did not have on air, about the overnight shift, the money, and what came after it.

Health engineer Steven Wright, who has researched gut health since 2009, says digestive enzymes have a bad reputation with patients and practitioners, and many products earned it. So do digestive enzymes really work? Steven explains how stomach acid, pH and missing cofactors can leave an enzyme doing very little, the five things to check on a label before you buy, and why so many people underdose. He says enzymes may matter even more than probiotics, and if your list of safe foods keeps shrinking, it may not be the food's fault. Key Insights: ✅ Pig Pancreatin Outworks Beef at pH 7 ✅ Look for Activity Units on the Label ✅ Cofactors Like Minerals Help Enzymes Work ✅ Fungal Blends Cover a Wider pH Range ✅ Smelling Food May Prompt Enzyme Release ✅ Undigested Food May Feed SIBO and Candida Chapters: 00:00 What If It's Not the Food's Fault? 03:57 What Are Digestive Enzymes and Where Do They Work? 05:49 How Do Enzymes Digest Fat, Protein and Carbs? 10:36 SIBO SOS (Sponsor) 11:57 What Do Microbiome Enzymes Do for Gas and Bloating? 15:07 Why Do Enzymes Need Cofactors to Work? 17:14 How Does pH Decide Whether an Enzyme Works? 22:10 Can Undigested Food Feed SIBO and Candida? 26:32 Are You Low on Digestive Enzymes? 29:26 How to Choose a Digestive Enzyme That Works 32:47 Which Enzyme Labels Should You Avoid? 35:51 What Does a Good Enzyme Label Look Like? 38:04 How Many Digestive Enzymes Should You Take? 40:11 Why Enzymes Get Easier to Lose After 45 👤 More From Steven Wright HoloZyme by Healthy Gut Activated enzymes for easier digestion.

If you have been tired, dizzy and brain foggy for years, Dr. Christine Schaffner, a naturopathic physician who treats complex chronic illness, says something may be sitting in the way of your healing. Two places she looks are old scars and jaw cavitations, the pockets that can form in the jawbone where a tooth was pulled. I asked her what a jaw cavitation is, what cavitation surgery involves, how a scar can block lymphatic drainage, and where exosomes and peptides may fit into recovery. We also talk about magic mouthwash after oral surgery.

Writing a book about your life can feel like something other people do, but Natalee Bloom, a ghostwriter for New York Times bestselling authors, says writer's block is a myth. If you can have an idea and get it out by typing, with a pen or in a voice note, she says you are already writing. Natalee helped me write my second book. I asked her how to know when to start writing your book, whether to learn the craft or hire a ghostwriter, and what publishers now expect from you. She also explains why she calls it a lie that your story can't help someone. Key Insights: ✅ A Voice Note Counts as Writing ✅ Scattered Notes Are a Sign to Start ✅ Publishers Expect Authors to Do the Marketing ✅ Build Your Platform Before Pitching Publishers ✅ Everyday Stories Resonate More Than You Think ✅ Writing Your Book Can Change You Too Chapters: 00:00 What Does a Ghostwriter Actually Do? 06:59 Should You Learn to Write or Hire a Ghostwriter? 09:22 How a Writing Retreat Helps You Finish a Book 12:43 SIBO SOS (Sponsor) 13:39 Is Writer's Block Really a Myth? 17:08 Why Your Story Could Help Someone Else 21:38 When Is the Right Time to Start Writing? 25:26 Should You Self-Publish or Find a Publisher? 31:18 How I Chose My Ghostwriter 👤 More From Natalee Bloom Website: https://nataleebloom.com Follow Natalee on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nataleebloom/ Follow Natalee on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@natalee.bloom Follow Natalee on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nataleebloom 👇 More From Shivan Sarna 👇 🎓 Free SIBO Webinar with Shivan Sarna and Dr. Allison Siebecker Join the current free live webinar on understanding where you are with SIBO and how to think about what comes next. 🔗 Register for the free webinar: https://sibosos.com/podcast-next 🧭 SIBO Navigator A four-month SIBO education and navigation program with Dr. Allison Siebecker and Shivan Sarna.

You finished the antibiotics and the UTI came back, and Ruth Kriz, a nurse practitioner who specializes in chronic UTI and interstitial cystitis, is increasingly convinced ammonia is a huge player in recurrent UTIs. She has 35 years in the interstitial cystitis community, including a funded national study presented at an NIH technical conference. In Part 2 she explains how ammonia that concentrates in your bladder overnight may raise urine pH, damage the bladder lining and help biofilms hold on, and what a first morning urine pH above 6.0 may be telling you. I also ask her why cranberry juice can stop helping and why she thinks BV is a misnomer. Part 1 links are below the chapters. Key Insights: ✅ High Ammonia May Raise Urine pH ✅ Ammonia May Help Biofilms Stay Stable ✅ Mold Toxins May Disrupt Nighttime Urination ✅ Cranberry Juice Can Stop Helping Over Time ✅ BV May Involve More Than Gardnerella ✅ Men's UTIs May Start in the Prostate Chapters: 00:00 Could Ammonia Be Feeding Your Recurrent UTIs? 03:36 How Ammonia May Damage Your Bladder Wall 05:43 Why Chronic UTI Treatment Needs a Personal Plan 08:26 What Should Your Morning Urine pH Be? 10:42 Fullscript (Sponsor) 11:27 Is Specialized UTI Testing Worth the Cost? 14:38 What Does an At-Home UTI Test Check? 17:37 Why BV May Be a Misnomer 21:05 Is Your Vagina Really Self-Cleaning? 25:02 How to Make Bladder Instillations Easier at Home 27:52 Can Old Antibiotics Work Again After Biofilms? 30:09 Why Some UTI Antibiotics Work Better 33:48 Should You Take Probiotics With Antibiotics?

Most people try to heal trauma by going straight into the past. Dr. Aimie Apigian, a physician and the author of The Biology of Trauma, says they skip the step that comes first: making it safe to change. To your nervous system, familiar feels safe, even when familiar is unhealthy. We get into the signs of unresolved trauma in your work, your relationships and your health, what forgiveness means when you are still bracing to be hurt again, and where to start when opening up the past feels like too much. Her answer is smaller than you would expect. Thirty seconds at a time. Key Insights: ✅ Your Cells Treat All Danger the Same ✅ Stress May Burn Through Your Magnesium ✅ Unresolved Trauma Can Look Like Perfectionism ✅ Survival Mode May Feed Chronic Illness ✅ You Don't Need Closure to Let Go ✅ Space Doesn't Feel Safe for Everyone Chapters: 00:00 Is Trauma Emotional or Biological? 03:11 How Is Trauma Stored in the Body? 07:23 SIBO SOS (Sponsor) 08:18 Signs of Unresolved Trauma You Might Be Missing 12:07 Do You Have to Forgive to Heal? 15:31 Why Change Feels Unsafe to Your Nervous System 17:56 Why Some People Self Sabotage After Losing Weight 21:20 Where to Start Healing Trauma Without Falling Apart 👤 More From Dr. Aimie Apigian Website: https://www.biologyoftrauma.com/ Follow Dr. Apigian on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/draimie Follow Dr. Apigian on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DrAimieApigian Follow Dr. Apigian on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/draimie/ Connect with Dr. Apigian on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-aimie-apigian 👇 More From Shivan Sarna 👇 🎓 Free SIBO Webinar with Shivan Sarna and Dr. Allison Siebecker Join the current free live webinar on understanding where you are with SIBO and how to think about what comes next. 🔗 Register for the free webinar: https://sibosos.com/podcast-next 🧭 SIBO Navigator A four-month SIBO education and navigation program with Dr. Allison Siebecker and Shivan Sarna.
