Getting to the Root Causes of Anxiety, Depression, and Other Mental Health Concerns with Dr. Tracy McCarthy

Épisode 63

mardi 22 octobre 2024 • Durée 01:30:03

Send Vanessa a Text Message

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tracy McCarthy, board-certified functional psychiatrist to discuss the intricacies of mental health in today's world. She eventually sidestepped conventional psychiatry after experiencing frustration with the limitations of the practice, and is now dedicated towards root-cause medicine.

She is the creator of the Natural Mood Solution Online Program, the founder and Medical Director of Dr. Tracy McCarthy Functional Medicine, and is highly committed to helping adults suffering from mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and more. However, unlike the conventional approach, she looks at the body/brain holistically and functionally, and works with patients to uncover the real story behind their symptoms.

Most mental health challenges accompany symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, etc., and her unique approach focuses on tackling these underlying issues such as microbiome imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and toxin exposures. Her goal is to educate her patients and people on how inflammation is highly connected to our mental health, known disorders, and mood disturbances.

Yulia’s Story: From Being Denied Life-Saving Kidney Transplant Due to Vaccination Status, to Now a Thriving Miracle – with Chrissy Hicks

Épisode 62

mardi 8 octobre 2024 • Durée 57:06

Send Vanessa a Text Message

In this special episode, I sit down with Chrissy Hicks to candidly discuss the MIRACLE journey of her daughter Yulia. After being adopted from Ukraine, Yulia was in need of a life-saving kidney transplant, but was denied the procedure by Duke University Hospital due to her Covid vaccination status.

The story unfolds in the most incredible of ways, miracle after miracle...and Chrissy and her husband are still relentlessly dedicated towards raising awareness and sharing accommodating resources for other transplant patients. They believe it's critically important to continue to fight for EVERYONE'S freedoms and rights, and they are by no means done with trying to restructure and pass Yulia's Law.

While this situation with Yulia went viral and reached the mainstream media, there is still much work to do when it comes to the protection of body autonomy for all citizens. With faith as their foundation, they are obediently and courageously open to do whatever it takes to create real, lasting change.

What You Must Know About Mammograms, and a Proven and Effective Alternative – with Jasmine Khorsandi and Amanda Porta

Épisode 53

mardi 4 juin 2024 • Durée 01:16:43

Send Vanessa a Text Message

In this episode, I sit down with the Founder of Sonobreasts, Ultrasound Sonographer Jasmine Khorsandi, as well as Breast Implant Illness Advocate, Amanda Porta. With approximately 3500 women dying per month in the U.S. alone (according to updated 2024 statistics), there are understandably rising concerns regarding standard detection protocols. Unfortunately, nearly 50% of breast cancer is missed among women with dense breast tissue, therefore highlighting the truth: Routine mammogram screenings as the BEST form of detection are not the most effective approach for all women across the board.

During this discussion, we cover the following:

What is sonography and how does it differ from mammography?
What is dense breast tissue? Why is it so important for a woman to know her type?
Why is mammography a poor detection tool for those with dense tissue?
Why is breast cancer skyrocketing in the United States alone?
How early can sonography detect a concern in the breast and surrounding area?
Are there risks with repeated mammography scanning in terms of radiation?
Why aren't the industry standard's changing to help women's health?
Is there risk involved concerning mammograms and women with breast implants?
At what age should women consider breast cancer screenings?
How does one go about insurance coverage when choosing sonography?
What about genetics and genetic history?
How important are self breast exams?
When are MRIs suggested for cancer detection?
Why are women so disconnected from their bodies?
Fear that circulates surrounding breast cancer and how it's mentally and emotionally affecting the female population
How emotions play a role in our health, healing, and when faced with a diagnosis
And more...

Is the Anticipated “Safer” Breast Implant Coming to the U.S. Market Really Safer? – with Amanda Porta and Robyn Towt

Épisode 50

mercredi 24 avril 2024 • Durée 59:41

Send Vanessa a Text Message

In this episode, I sit down with return guests Amanda Porta and Robyn Towt to discuss an extremely important update within the breast implant industry. With a new, "safer" Motiva implant pending FDA approval, these women want to make sure the truth is given to all women considering implants in the future. This implant (that was supposed to hit the U.S. market in 2023) claims to be vastly safer than its competitors because of revolutionary technology (including a microchip), and backed by "rigorous science" and "clinical data."

Both Amanda and Robyn have graciously come back to properly educate us all on what's really going on and that despite claims, this shiny new option is not what it's cracked up to be. As well-known patient advocates, both women feel it is their duty and responsibility to highlight the unfortunate and consistent safety concerns, along with the fact that nearly all safety studies advertised by the company have conflicts of interest. These implants are also already approved in some countries, where authorities have come forward with serious concerns, considering the onset of symptoms/illness they are seeing.

With the date of FDA approval unknown, these women are passionate about continuing to share the crucial importance of both real informed consent, as well as call attention to the common health concerns that are associated with ALL breast implants, including this upcoming option. They want women to be aware of the fact that the majority of doctors are not given the full story, and are sadly unaware of the realities of BII, as well as cancer concerns.

In this episode, I sit down with the CEO and Founder of Activation Products, Ian Clark. Ian's story is nothing short of incredible, as he was told he only had about three years left to live at the young age of 46. Along with going bankrupt and having the grave concern of not being around to raise his seven children, he courageously took matters into his own hands, healing his body and then some.

After five remarkable years, Ian built a raw supplement business direct to consumer in his basement, which ended up reaching hundreds of thousands of people in just two years. Now many years later, Activation Products continues to stand out among the sea of supplement companies due to his relentless research and continued commitment to help people have faith in their own body's capabilities.

Ian's story and leap of faith highlights one very important thing: The body CAN heal given the right tools and environment. His dedication to see his healing through wasn't an easy road, but it resulted in his now-superb health status, and was the catalyst to unlocking certain "keys" to cleaning up body toxicities we commonly deal with.
