Ann Louise Gittleman Interviews Dr. Sherry Rogers

Legendary environmental health pioneer Dr. Sherry Rogers takes the mic with the First Lady of Nutrition podcast. Tune in as Ann Louise and Dr. Rogers delve into the essential importance of gut health and why the gut is the first place to look regardless of the health conditions you may be facing.

As Dr. Rogers emphasizes, the gut controls over half of your disease-fighting immune system! Dr. Rogers introduces the “crystal ball” tests that can reveal what’s wrong with you, such as the RBC Magnesium test, D-dimer, coronary calcium score, echocardiogram, and Co-Q10 levels test. Discover numerous ways to make your body healthy without relying on drugs, as well as how you can’t heal the brain until you heal the gut. Dr. Sherry Rogers is the best-selling author of numerous books, including “No More Heartburn: The Safe, Effective Way to Prevent and Heal Chronic Gastrointestinal Disorders,” “Is Your Cardiologist Killing You?” “Detoxify or Die,” and “The High Blood Pressure Hoax.”

Ann Louise Gittleman Interviews Ross Pelton

The First Lady of Nutrition welcomes Ross Pelton, aka The Natural Pharmacist, to discuss Rapamycin, the most effective life extension drug that has ever been discovered. Ann Louise and Ross waste no time diving into the science behind it. In layman’s terms, Ross expounds on the relationship between mTOR and autophagy (your body’s process of reusing old and damaged cell parts) and how the topics discussed in his fascinating new book, “Rapamycin, mTOR, Autophagy & Treating mTOR Syndrome,” provide us with a totally new understanding of metabolism, health, and the aging process. As Ross explains, the ratio between mTOR and autophagy is severely out of balance in most people living today, and he has named this condition ‘mTOR Syndrome.’ Rapamycin helps correct the mTOR/autophagy ratio, which slows down the onset of virtually all age-related diseases. The goal is not just life extension, it is increased health span!

Ann Louise Gittleman Interviews Wendy Myers

Detox and Heavy Metals expert, Wendy Myers, has left her comfort zone and recently moved into the arena of emotional detox. When I spoke to her on a recent podcast, and she asked how I was doing, I told her “Truthfully, I have been unusually sad. I have lost so many friends and associates this year, and they are just like family.” She told me something very interesting.

When people are suffering any kind of emotional trauma, whether it be sadness, anger, disappointment, bitterness, resentment, fear, or any emotion that impacts their lives, they probably need an emotional detox or a clearing of energy fields.

About this episode:

In this powerful episode, the First Lady of Nutrition sits down with Juliette Harch — multiple sclerosis survivor and wife of renowned hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) pioneer Dr. Paul Harch — to explore one of the most under-discussed tools in neurological recovery: oxygen under pressure.

Juliette shares how her eyesight was failing, her energy collapsing, and her body quietly signaling that something was very wrong. She opens up about the possible triggers behind her diagnosis — including heavy diet soda consumption and mercury dental fillings — and how targeted hyperbaric therapy helped restore her vitality. Ann Louise and Juliette also discuss today’s growing wave of concussions and traumatic brain injuries in both children and adults, and why untreated head injuries can quietly alter behavior, cognition, and long-term brain health.

Juliette explains why dose and precision matter profoundly in HBOT — and how the right protocol can mean the difference between incremental change and meaningful neurological recovery.  Ann Louise adds insight from her own injury experience, deepening the discussion even further.

If you or someone you love is navigating MS, brain injury, or cognitive decline, this conversation may shift how you think about healing.

Ann Louise Gittleman Interviews Kara Fitzgerald, ND

Looking younger longer is a hot topic these days. So, it’s no wonder that the First Lady of Nutrition jumped on the opportunity to interview Kara Fitzgerald, ND, especially after Ann Louise spent years of research for her latest book, “Radical Longevity.” Join Ann Louise and Kara as they hit the ground running discussing Kara’s new book: “Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer.” Though getting older is inevitable and your ‘chronological age’ can only move in one direction, exciting new research shows that you also have a biological age, which scientists can measure by assessing how your genes are expressed through epigenetics. In this engaging interview you will learn that your genes don’t dictate your fate and the root cause of all diseases is not driven by genetics. The two also discuss how DNA methylation – a process that influences which genes are turned on and which are turned off – powerfully influences your epigenetic expression. With assessment tools for determining your bio age, recipes, and plans for putting it all into practice, Dr. Fitzgerald’s “Younger You” helps you repair years of damage, ward off chronic disease, and optimize your health—for years to come.

Ann Louise Gittleman Interviews Kristin Kirkpatrick

Join us as we welcome bestselling author Kristin Kirkpatrick of “Skinny Liver.” The First Lady was especially excited to speak with Kristin because her own international bestselling “Fat Flush Plan” was the first diet book in the nation to target the liver as a major fat burning organ. Now the two of them jump right into discussing “Skinny Liver” and how the health of nearly every organ is deeply connected to the liver. As Kristin explains, a silent health crisis is impacting one-third of the American population — nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). According to the latest research most people are not aware that they are at risk because its symptoms often don’t manifest until the liver is seriously compromised. If you have fatty liver disease, you are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease (heart attack and stroke), and potentially several devastating conditions such as liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. “Skinny Liver” shares the steps you can take to get your liver health back on track, with everything from exercise to healthy eating and other lifestyle changes–along with delicious liver-friendly recipes.

About this episode:

What begins as a conversation about MSG quickly expands into a much larger discussion. The First Lady of Nutrition welcomes back board-certified neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock to explore excitotoxins — compounds such as glutamate that overstimulate brain cells and often appear on labels under disguised names. He explains how these additives may influence addiction, neurological health, and why they are far more common in the U.S. food supply than in many European countries.

The interview also covers neurodegenerative disease, the role of glutamate in cancer growth, and ways to calm excess glutamate activity. Ann Louise and Dr. Blaylock also discuss key nutrients, including high-dose benfotiamine and other B vitamins, and why many neurological conditions like Parkinson’s may be linked to thiamine deficiency.

The conversation then broadens to immune function and COVID-related concerns, including neurological effects and post-illness immune changes, along with nutrients and flavonoids involved in regulating the p-53 gene. What starts with food additives ultimately becomes a wider look at how modern exposures may be shaping brain health today.

About this episode:
In this thought-provoking conversation, Ann Louise Gittleman sits down with neurologist Dr. Thomas Guttuso, Jr., author of The Promise of Lithium, to explore the emerging role of carefully dosed lithium in neurodegenerative disease. Why is Parkinson’s now the fastest-growing neurological disease? Dr. Guttuso explains what’s driving the surge, how Parkinson’s differs from Parkinsonism, and why men are diagnosed more often than women. He also introduces what he calls the brain’s “Bermuda Triangle” — a vulnerable region tied to progressive neuron loss — and shares insight into a promising blood marker, neurofilament light (NFL), that may help track early damage. From there, the conversation turns to why dose and form are everything when it comes to lithium — and how the small amounts he uses clinically differ dramatically from the psychiatric doses most people associate with the mineral. He also addresses timing, prevention, L-Dopa, and whether early support could change the trajectory of these conditions. If you’re concerned about Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, stroke, MS, or simply protecting long-term brain health, this interview offers a grounded and science-driven perspective on a mineral that may hold broader implications than many realize.  Check out Dr. Guttoso’s book at https://amzn.to/3YUgv4p and the form of lithium he recommends at https://amzn.to/4k7xDxE.

Ann Louise Gittleman Interviews Dr. Thomas Lewis

Ann Louise has always been a believer that without testing you are only guessing.   She has met her match with Dr. Thomas Lewis, a Ph.D. in Chemistry from MIT with a certificate from the Harvard School of Public Health.  Dr. Lewis emphatically believes that ‘good health isn’t a mystery – Its measurable.’  He is a believer, like Ann Louise, that chronic simmering infections like chlamydia pneumonia, mycoplasma, and Epstein-Barr may be the root cause of many incurable health conditions.  Tune in as Ann Louise and Dr. Lewis discuss how testing for chronic infections and hidden diseases can not only give you a new lease on life but give back to you the ‘stealth health’ you have always hoped for.  Dr. Lewis has created a software-based medical evaluation form that is designed to determine the current and future risk of accelerated aging and chronic disease in individuals, called the Chronic Disease Assessment.
