What if feeling better isn't just about finding the right supplement, hormone, or treatment, but also learning to listen to your body in a completely different way?

In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Dr. Mary Sanders, a chiropractor and energy medicine practitioner, to explore the connection between the body, the nervous system, emotional experiences, and personal transformation.

Mary shares how being born hearing-impaired shaped her sensitivity to her surroundings and influenced her path into chiropractic care and energy medicine. Together, she and Jannine discuss emotional releases during bodywork, how past experiences may influence the way we respond to stress, and why women over 40 may find themselves questioning their identity, purpose, and what comes next.

They also explore Mary's use of stroboscopic light, vibroacoustic therapy, and other approaches intended to support relaxation and nervous system regulation. The conversation highlights the importance of creating space to slow down, tune into your body's signals, and explore what you may need as you move through life's transitions.

If you've been doing all the things to support your health but still feel like something is missing, this conversation invites you to get curious about your body's needs and consider new perspectives on your well-being.

In This Episode, You'll Discover:

• How Mary's experience growing up hearing-impaired influenced her path into chiropractic care and energy medicine.

• Why developing greater awareness of your body and surroundings can shape the way you experience the world.

• What emotional releases during acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments, and other forms of bodywork may feel like.

• How early experiences and chronic stress may influence patterns of safety, regulation, and behavior.

• Why women over 40 may experience an identity shift and begin questioning their purpose and next chapter.

• How Mary incorporates stroboscopic light, vibroacoustic therapy, and auditory stimulation into her practice.

• What brainwave states, coherence, and entrainment mean in the context of Mary's approach.

• Why feeling stuck despite trying different health interventions may be an invitation to reassess your needs and readiness for change.

• How meditation, body awareness, and creating space for reflection can help you explore what's next.

• Why finding a practitioner you trust and feel comfortable with matters when exploring different approaches to health and healing.

What if chronic pain isn't only about what's happening in your body, but also how your brain and nervous system are responding to it?

In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause chats with Natalie Rivans, co-CEO of ReOrigin, somatic practitioner, and menopause coach, about brain retraining, chronic pain, nervous system regulation, and healing.

Natalie shares her own journey from working as a police officer to dealing with chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. After years of trying to find answers and manage her symptoms, she discovered brain retraining and began learning how the nervous system can get stuck in a protective pattern.

Natalie also explains why you don't need to keep searching for one hidden root cause. Instead, the focus can be on what your nervous system has learned and how you respond to symptoms now.

The goal isn't to pretend pain isn't there. It's to help your brain and body stop treating every sensation as a threat, so you can gradually build more safety, flexibility, and trust.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• What brain retraining is and isn't
• How fear and protection are linked to chronic pain
• Simple ways to interrupt a stress response
• How poor sleep can upregulate nervous system sensitivity to pain

Why does chronic pain, stiffness, tension, and injury seem to become more common as we get older?

In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause explores the connection between chronic pain, circulation, gut health, hormones, nutrition, movement, and the nervous system.

While hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can contribute to aches and joint discomfort, learn why estrogen may not be to blame for every ache and pain. Dr. Krause draws from nearly 20 years of working with women over 40 to help you explore how circulation and other foundational aspects of health may influence pain and recovery.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Overlooked reasons for why chronic pain and injuries can increase during perimenopause and menopause
• The connection between circulation and pain
• How gut and liver health may affect tension, pain and inflammation in the body
• Why sitting, lack of movement, and past injuries can contribute to tension
• The role of nitric oxide, nutrition, oxygen transport, and nutrient deficiencies in recovery
• How myofascial release, acupressure, tapping, and gentle stretching may help reduce tension
• Why chronic pain stresses out the nervous system
• What you likely haven't heard about stress, emotions, and tension held in the body
• How mitochondrial health declines over 40 and it's role in energy and recovery
• Simple myofascial techniques for the jaw, neck, shoulders, and other areas of tension

The Big Takeaway

Pain isn't always just about the place that hurts.

It's key to look at the whole body, including circulation, digestion, movement, nutrition, past injuries, stress, and nervous system regulation, when trying to understand your chronic pain and tension.

Get on the waitlist for Dr. Jannine's upcoming acumyofascial release workshops, designed to help people work with specific areas of pain and tension.

What if living a long, healthy life has less to do with expensive treatments and more to do with staying active, staying connected, and continuing to find reasons to enjoy your life?

In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Jannine sits down with a very special guest: her 90-year-old dad.

From building decks and working in the garden to racing cars, restoring old trucks, going to the local bar to catch up with friends, and simply staying busy, Jannine's dad has built a life around movement, purpose, curiosity, and community.

Together, they talk about what it's really like to grow older, the lessons he learned throughout his life, and the habits and mindset that have helped him stay remarkably mobile and active at 90.

He also shares stories about growing up during World War II, working in construction and excavation, racing motorcycles and cars, learning through experience, losing his wife, and finding ways to keep moving forward.

It's a funny, honest, and heartfelt conversation about aging well and making the most of the life you have.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• Why staying active throughout life can help you maintain mobility as you age
• The importance of continuing to use your body instead of becoming afraid of movement
• How having daily goals and projects can give you purpose
• Why community and social connection can be such an important part of a fulfilling life
• What Jannine's dad learned from working, building, racing, and simply doing things himself
• How listening to other people's stories can teach you more than you might expect
• Why learning from your mistakes and taking responsibility matters at every age
• How he approaches aches, pains, and the changes that come with getting older
• His perspective on losing his wife and continuing to build a meaningful life
• Why finding work you enjoy can make a difference in your overall quality of life
• His simple philosophy on getting older: keep moving, keep doing, keep learning, and don't give up

A Few of His Longevity Lessons

You don't need an expensive routine to live well.

Get outside. Stay active. Have something to work toward. Spend time with people. Learn from others. Find things you enjoy. And when life gets difficult, keep going.

At 90, Jannine's dad is still gardening, working on projects, staying connected with friends, and finding ways to keep his body moving.

His philosophy is simple:

"If you want a longer life, don't give up."

What if one of the most fun workouts could also support your balance, bones, pelvic floor, lymphatic system, nervous system, and overall longevity?

In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine sits down with Steve Carver, aka Mr. Bouncer, a fitness professional with more than 30 years of experience and a longtime expert in trampoline-based fitness with JumpSport.

What started as an unexpected introduction to JumpSport eventually became Steve's specialty: helping people understand just how versatile a rebounder can be.

And this isn't just about jumping up and down.

A rebounder can be used for gentle workout, strength training, balance work, plyometrics, sports-specific conditioning, HIIT, and even ski training.

Dr. Jannine and Steve dive into why bouncing may be worth adding to your movement routine, especially as you get older.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• How rebounding supports balance, strength, and coordination
• Why gentle bouncing may benefit lymphatic flow and pelvic floor health
• How rebounding can support bone health and agility
• Why 5–10 minutes of movement is all it takes to make a difference
• How to adjust your bounce for gentle movement or higher-intensity workouts
• Using rebounding for ski training, HIIT, and sport-specific conditioning

Why the lymphatic system loves movement

Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system doesn't have its own pump. Movement and muscular contractions help move lymphatic fluid through the body.

Steve explains how the compression and release created through bouncing may help encourage lymphatic flow, making gentle bouncing a simple and enjoyable way to incorporate movement into your routine.

The fun factor matters

One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation?

The best exercise is the one you'll actually do.

Steve shares why he believes enjoyment is such an important part of movement. If you hate the exercise you're doing, your brain will eventually find a reason to avoid it.

But when movement makes you smile, feel energized, and actually look forward to exercising, consistency becomes a whole lot easier.

Meet Steve Carver

Steve Carver, aka Mr. Bouncer, has more than 30 years of experience as a fitness professional, trainer, stunt performer, and trampoline fitness expert.

His background includes competitive sports, extreme sports, skiing, acrobatics, stunt work, and training clients in the entertainment industry.

Could your home be making you sick?

In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Jason Richards, founder and owner of Pure Health Mold Inspections, to talk about one of the most frustrating and overlooked contributors to chronic health issues: mold exposure in the home.

Dr. Jannine knows this topic personally. After dealing with mold issues in two different homes and helping clients navigate suspected mold exposure, she understands how difficult it can be to get clear answers.

Many people experience symptoms that seem impossible to explain, only to be told that their home is fine after standard air testing comes back negative. But according to Jason, air testing alone may not tell the whole story.

Together, Dr. Jannine and Jason dive into what comprehensive mold testing should look like, why surface testing can be so important, how mold and mycotoxins can remain in the home even after visible mold is gone, and why simply killing mold isn't enough.

They also discuss the structural and environmental issues that can contribute to recurring mold problems, including humidity, poor ventilation, crawl spaces, attics, HVAC systems, water drainage, and tightly sealed homes.

If you've been dealing with unexplained symptoms, suspect your home may have a mold problem, or have been told your testing is negative despite ongoing concerns, this episode will help you better understand what to look for and what questions to ask.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• The mold testing challenges and how ERMI and PCR-based testing can help identify mold species
• Why standard air testing isn't enough & what a comprehensive mold inspection looks like
• What mycotoxins are and why removing mold is different from simply killing it
• Why small mold fragments and contamination can remain after remediation
• The structural issues and ventilation that commonly contribute to mold growth
• How humidity, crawl spaces, attics, plumbing leaks, and HVAC systems can become problem areas
• What an ERV system is and how it can improve indoor air exchange

Connect with Jason Richards

Jason Richards is the founder and owner of Pure Health Mold Inspections. His work focuses on helping people identify potential mold and environmental issues in their homes through comprehensive inspection and testing strategies.

Jason has worked closely with functional medicine practitioners and understands the connection between environmental exposure and the health concerns many patients experience. His approach focuses on evaluating the home as a complete system and helping clients better understand potential sources of moisture, mold, and environmental contamination.

What if the key to a more effective detox isn't taking less—but taking the right amount?

In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Jeff Hoyt, founder of Zeolite Labs, to take a deep dive into zeolite, detoxification, binders, and why the way you dose a binder may dramatically affect how you feel.

Jeff explains how natural clinoptilolite zeolite works as a selective "smart binder," the differences between powdered, liquid, nano, and synthetic zeolite, and why quality and particle size matter. He also shares his controversial "dosing paradox"—the idea that, for some people, microdosing zeolite may actually trigger more detox reactions than a higher dose.

They also explore detox reactions, nervous system sensitivity, gut health, EMFs, heavy metals, testing, and how supporting the body's overall health may be more important than aggressively targeting a single toxin.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• What zeolite is and how it supports detoxification

• The "swap and drop" mechanism and why zeolite is considered a selective binder

• Natural vs. liquid, nano, and synthetic zeolite

• Why purity, particle size, and quality matter

• The surprising "dosing paradox" and why more may sometimes be better than microdosing

• Detox reactions, nervous system sensitivity, and how to minimize them

• Zeolite's potential role in gut health, heavy metals, and EMF sensitivity

• How to approach testing and support your body's natural detox pathways

Key Takeaway

Detoxification isn't necessarily about pushing harder or tolerating more symptoms. As Jeff explains, the goal is to support the body's ability to move unwanted compounds out without overwhelming the system in the process.

If you're curious about zeolite or have struggled with detox reactions in the past, this conversation offers a deeper look at how binders work—and why the dose, quality, and form of the product matter.

Note: This episode discusses information and experiences shared by the guest and is intended for educational purposes. Detox protocols and supplements should be considered in the context of your individual health needs and, when appropriate, with guidance from a qualified healthcare professional.

Connect with Jeff Hoyt

Jeff Hoyt is a wellness educator and the founder and President of Zeolite Labs LLC . Transitioning from a background running alternative wellness clinics, he now focuses on mineral-based detoxification and is the creator of the dietary supplement ZeoCharge™. As host of The Detox Experience Podcast, Hoyt is best known for pioneering his "Higher Dose Theory," which advocates for unconventional zeolite dosing protocols to help people target heavy metals, mold, and environmental toxicants.

What if the symptoms you've been struggling with have a deeper root cause?

In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Kim Rogers, aka "The Worm Queen," to explore parasites, environmental toxins, mold exposure, detoxification, herbs, mushrooms, and the complex factors that can influence chronic health symptoms.

Kim spent more than 20 years working in Western medicine before her own health challenges, including endometriosis, Lyme disease, mold exposure and suspected parasite issues sent her searching for a different approach.

Her personal healing journey ultimately led her to co-found RogersHood Apothecary and create the ParaFy Parasite Cleanse Kit.

Kim shares what she learned about parasites, environmental exposures and the importance of understanding the body's detoxification pathways. She also explains why she believes herbs work best as synergistic combinations, why supporting the immune system and detox pathways matters, and why becoming your own health advocate can be one of the most important steps in a healing journey.

We also dive into the controversy and questions surrounding parasite testing, water quality, mold, environmental toxins and the symptoms that can overlap with other chronic health conditions.

What You'll Learn In This Episode:

• Kim Rogers' journey from Western medicine to herbal medicine
• What led Kim to investigate parasites and environmental toxins
• Her experience with water contamination concerns in Washington State
• Why parasite symptoms can overlap with many other chronic health issues
• The importance and limitations of parasite testing
• How mold, toxins and other environmental exposures may complicate chronic symptoms
• The potential role of mushrooms and immune support
• Why supporting the nervous system is important during a healing journey
• How to approach detoxification gently rather than overwhelming the body

What if everything we've been told about Parkinson's disease and brain degeneration is wrong?

For decades we've been told that neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's are progressive, irreversible, and caused primarily by the loss of dopamine. But what if that's only part of the story?

In this fascinating conversation, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Dr. Greg Eckel, naturopathic physician, acupuncturist, neuroregeneration pioneer, founder of the Academy of Mind-Body Medicine (AGEMED), and author of Defying Parkinson's, to challenge conventional thinking about brain disease.

After losing his wife to a neurodegenerative illness, Dr. Eckel began questioning everything he believed about medicine. That journey led him to a revolutionary perspective:

The brain doesn't simply degenerate, it runs out of energy.

In this episode we'll explore how restoring mitochondrial function, reducing inflammation, supporting gut health, balancing the nervous system, and addressing environmental toxins may help create new possibilities for healing, not only for Parkinson's disease but also traumatic brain injuries, cognitive decline, and optimizing peak mental performance.

If you or someone you love has Parkinson's, memory loss, a traumatic brain injury, or simply wants to improve brain health, this episode will completely change the way you think about the brain.

14:30 The biggest misconception about neurodegenerative disease

20:10 The brain doesn't degenerate—it loses energy

27:15 Mitochondria: the missing piece of brain health

33:40 Gut health, inflammation & environmental toxins

40:30 Why conventional medicine manages symptoms instead of restoring function

47:20 Regenerative medicine and the future of neurological care

54:10 Lifestyle strategies that support brain regeneration

59:15 Optimizing brain performance—even without disease

In This Episode You'll Learn

✔️ Why Parkinson's disease involves much more than dopamine loss

✔️ The hidden role of mitochondrial dysfunction in brain disorders

✔️ How brain energy influences cognition, movement, and recovery

✔️ The surprising connection between gut health and neurological disease

✔️ Why environmental toxins may contribute to neurodegeneration

✔️ Lifestyle habits that support neuroplasticity and brain regeneration

✔️ Why optimizing brain health benefits everyone—not just those with neurological disease

✔️ What the future of neuroregeneration could look like

Key Takeaways

The traditional model of brain disease may be incomplete.

Rather than simply accepting degeneration, Dr. Greg Eckel encourages us to understand how the brain's energy systems influence function, healing, and resilience. By supporting mitochondrial health, reducing inflammation, improving gut health, and restoring nervous system balance, we may be able to shift what's possible for patients living with neurological conditions—and for anyone seeking better cognitive performance.

Waking up between 2-5 AM every night? Your sleep struggles may not actually start at bedtime.

In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause dives into the neurological, energetic, and Chinese Medicine perspective of insomnia and why what you do during the day may be the biggest factor impacting your nights.

After years of battling insomnia herself and surviving on just 2-4 hours of sleep Dr. Jannine shares her journey through endless sleep solutions including melatonin, herbs, L-theanine, ashwagandha, 5-HTP, progesterone, magnesium, and more.

But eventually, the supplements stopped working.

In this episode, you'll learn how the Chinese Medicine Organ Clock may provide clues about why you wake up at specific times and what your body could be communicating.

Dr. Jannine also explores why detox pathways, lymphatic flow, gallbladder function, liver health, and lung function may influence insomnia patterns.

Belinda shares her powerful story of surviving ovarian cancer at age 29, developing an eating disorder afterward, and spending years learning that her relationship with food was never actually about food.

If you've been taking probiotics but still struggling with bloating, food sensitivities, anxiety, or stubborn gut issues this episode is going to change how you think about your microbiome.

I'm joined by gut health experts Dr. Oscar Coetzee and Danielle Arnold from the supplement company Designs for Health, and we're diving into the next generation of probiotics and why most women over 40 have been missing a key piece.

We cover:

• Why traditional probiotics often don't "stick"
• The real reason your gut may feel worse after protocols
• How your microbiome impacts mood, hormones, and metabolism
• Why diet alone isn't enough anymore
• The rise of keystone bacteria + anaerobic probiotics
• What to do if you've tried everything and still have symptoms

NOTE: If you're navigating perimenopause, digestive issues, anxiety, or food sensitivities, this episode will give you a completely new lens on healing.

  What You'll Learn

✔️ Why probiotics are temporary (and what actually lasts)
✔️ The difference between traditional vs. next-gen probiotics
✔️ How your gut bacteria influence serotonin, dopamine & mood
✔️ Why "killing bad bacteria" may be making things worse
✔️ The connection between low diversity + hair loss, fatigue & hormone issues
✔️ How to rebuild a resilient gut ecosystem (not just patch symptoms)

  Key Takeaways:

• Your gut isn't broken it's often underpopulated (too sterile)
• Bloating can be a sign your gut is trying to heal not failing
• Restrictive diets may slow your progress long-term
• You need both:
  • The right bacteria (seeds)
  • The right foods (fertilizer)

  Why Most Probiotics Fail

Traditional probiotics:

• Don't colonize long-term
• Work only while you take them
• Don't rebuild the ecosystem

The future of probiotics may be = keystone strains + anaerobic bacteria

These help:

• Restore gut environment
• Improve immune balance
• Crowd out harmful bacteria naturally

Gut + Hormones + Mood Connection

Your gut directly impacts:

• Estrogen metabolism
• Neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine)
• Nutrient absorption (iron, B12, amino acids)

Which means it influences:

In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Autumn McLees to discuss her powerful journey navigating Lichen Sclerosus, a chronic inflammatory condition that affects many women but is rarely talked about openly.

After experiencing painful symptoms and receiving conventional treatments that focused primarily on symptom management, Autumn began questioning whether there might be deeper root causes behind her condition. Her search for answers led her into the world of holistic health, functional medicine, and lifestyle-based healing.

Autumn shares how her autoimmune diagnosis became a turning point—one that shifted her perspective from seeing her body as broken to recognizing it as a messenger asking for change.

Throughout the conversation, she discusses the dietary and lifestyle shifts that helped reduce flare-ups, the mindset required to stay committed to healing, and the importance of surrounding yourself with practitioners who focus on root-cause healing rather than symptom suppression.

Autumn also opens up about navigating new health challenges along the way and how staying proactive with nutrition, gut health, and vaginal microbiome support continues to play a key role in maintaining her progress.

This episode offers hope and practical insights for anyone struggling with autoimmune conditions, chronic inflammation, or unexplained symptoms, especially women who may feel dismissed or unsupported in traditional medical settings.

What You'll Learn in This Episode

• What Lichen Sclerosus is and why it can be so uncomfortable and disruptive

• Early symptoms many women overlook, including tearing and irritation

• Why conventional treatments often focus on symptom management rather than root causes

• How holistic and functional medicine approaches can help address underlying imbalances

• The role dietary changes play in reducing inflammation and preventing flare-ups

• Why maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential for long-term symptom management

• How mindset and motivation influence the healing process

• The importance of identifying dietary triggers

• How probiotics and microbiome support can benefit vaginal health

• Why sharing personal health journeys empowers others to advocate for themselves

Key Takeaways

• Lichen Sclerosus can cause severe discomfort and symptoms like tearing and irritation.

• Holistic approaches may provide additional tools beyond conventional treatments.

• Dietary changes can significantly impact inflammation and symptom flare-ups.

• Long-term management requires ongoing attention to lifestyle and stress.

• Healing often begins when we start listening to our bodies instead of ignoring symptoms.

• Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing root causes.

• Support from knowledgeable practitioners and community can make the healing journey easier.

• Awareness of food triggers can help prevent symptom recurrence.

• Vaginal microbiome health is an often overlooked piece of the puzzle.

• Sharing personal stories can inspire others to take control of their health.

About Autumn McLees

Autumn McLees knows firsthand what it's like to feel stuck in a cycle of searching for answers in a system designed more for symptom management than true healing.

After receiving an autoimmune diagnosis, she began questioning conventional approaches and exploring holistic alternatives. Through that journey, she realized her body wasn't failing her—it was asking her to pay attention.

Today, Autumn helps others understand that healing doesn't require perfection or permission. It begins with the courage to question the norm, clean up lifestyle habits, and seek out practitioners who focus on the root causes of illness.

Her mission is to empower people to reconnect with their bodies' natural ability to heal and provide the tools, resources, and support needed to make lasting transformation possible.

"The Art of Staying in Your Sport, Hobby, and Being Epic-Adventure-Ready at Any Age"

 

In this episode of the HealthFix Podcast, Coach Tyler Bramlett shares how fitness can become the foundation for a lifetime of adventure, not punishment.

If your goal is to stay active until the day you die, hike mountains in your 60s, ski in your 70s, and carry grandkids or hike with your furbabies in your 80s this episode is for you.

Tyler dives into the innovative WeShape program and how AI-driven personalization is changing the future of fitness. Instead of generic workouts or chasing aesthetics, WeShape focuses on:

• Movement quality over brute strength

• Longevity over short-term results

• Self-care over self-criticism

• Consistency over intensity

Tyler shares his personal journey from injury to rebuilding his body the smart way by learning to listen to his body instead of pushing through pain. He explains why so many people get stuck in cycles of overtraining, burnout, and frustration as well as how shifting your mindset can completely transform your results.

 

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• Why movement quality matters more than lifting heavier

• How "movement snacks" can keep you fit even on busy days

• Why consistency beats intensity every time

• How AI can help your fitness coach with personalizing workouts to your unique body

• The truth about unrealistic fitness standards

• How to build a positive relationship with exercise

• Why mindset around fitness, health and longevity determines long-term success

 

If you want to be adventure-ready at any age and not just look fit, but move well... this conversation will change how you approach your health.

In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Jay Campbell, best known for being the testosterone replacement therapy guru shares his two-decade plus journey into the world of peptides and hormone replacement therapy and how these compounds have transformed not just physique and fat loss, but metabolic health and longevity.  This conversation goes far beyond weight loss headlines and dives into the mental benefit side of health optimization.

**We get real in this episode and there's some swear words so if you're listening with kiddos around listen with caution**

What You'll Learn In This Episode:

• Why GLP peptides are reshaping obesity treatment

• The power of microdosing peptides, especially GLP-1's, for sustainable results

• Why education is the missing link for both clinicians and patients

• Injectable vs oral peptides — what actually works

• The role of lifestyle optimization alongside peptide therapy

• How misinformation (and AI amplification) is distorting public perception

• The humanitarian mission to make peptide therapies more accessible

Peptides Are a Tool — Not a Shortcut

Jay emphasizes that GLP peptides can dramatically improve metabolic health but without lifestyle changes, long-term success is limited.

For those who want to stay active and adventure-ready, peptides may:

• Improve insulin sensitivity

• Reduce inflammation

• Support fat loss

• Enhance recovery

But they are meant to amplify effort, not replace it.

  Microdosing Changes the Game

One of the most powerful strategies discussed is microdosing.

Rather than high-dose protocols aimed purely at appetite suppression, strategic lower dosing can:

• Preserve muscle mass

• Reduce side effects

• Improve metabolic flexibility

• Support long-term sustainability

This is particularly important for athletic or active adults who don't want to lose performance while improving body composition.

  Injectable > Oral

Jay explains why injectable peptides remain the gold standard due to bioavailability and effectiveness.

Understanding delivery method matters especially for those investing in advanced health strategies.

  The Future of Obesity Treatment

We're entering an era where next-generation GLP and triple-agonist peptides are transforming how we address:

• Insulin resistance

• Chronic inflammation

• Fat loss resistance

• Metabolic disease

But access, education, and responsible use are critical and why Jay and I do podcasts like this!

  Health Optimization as a Spiritual Practice

One of the most compelling parts of the conversation:

When you optimize your biology, you elevate your capacity; physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Health isn't vanity.
It's vitality.
It's freedom.
It's staying in the game.

In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with the Hormone Heroines, Dr. Serena Russum and Dr. Heidi Codino, to unpack what women actually need to thrive hormonally from puberty through menopause and beyond.

Dr. Serena and Dr. Heidi are award-winning speakers and nationally recognized experts in women's health, with extensive training in longevity medicine, hormonal health, peptides, and BHRT. Their passion lies in helping women address root causes, not just symptoms, using a holistic functional medicine approach so they can feel strong, energized, and supported at every stage of life.

This episode is a must-listen for any woman who wants to build strength, protect her hormones, and age with power instead of burnout.

What You'll Learn In This Episode:

• Muscle Is Medicine—Especially for Women

Muscle isn't just about strength or metabolism—it's a hormone-regulating, longevity-protecting organ. Lose muscle, and everything from blood sugar to estrogen balance takes a hit.

• Protein Timing Matters More Than You Think

It's not just how much protein you eat—it's how evenly you spread it throughout the day that determines whether your body can actually build and repair muscle.

• Estrogen Protects More Than Your Bones

Estrogen plays a critical role in muscle recovery, injury prevention, and resilience. Ignoring this connection leaves women vulnerable to pain, plateaus, and faster aging.

• Longevity Isn't a Supplement—It's a Strategy

Yes, tools like Urolithin A can support muscle and brain health—but nutrition, stress management, strength training, and the right practitioner are the real foundation for thriving long-term.

In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause explores aging through the wisdom of Chinese medicine. Rather than seeing aging as a decline, she reframes it as a predictable energetic transformation that unfolds in seven-year cycles.

The conversation focuses on the gradual decline of yin energy: the cooling, nourishing, and moistening force in the body and how modern lifestyle habits accelerate this depletion. Dr. Krause explains how symptoms like dryness, stiffness, fatigue, inflammation, hot flashes, and digestive issues are often signs of yin deficiency rather than "just getting older."

She shares practical dietary insights rooted in Chinese medicine, highlighting the importance of legumes, grains, fruits, and vegetables for supporting kidney chi, vitality, and long-term health. The episode also covers the role of movement, breathwork, and mindful eating habits in maintaining circulation, chi flow, and resilience as we age.

This episode offers a grounded, empowering roadmap for aging with more balance, energy, and ease without extreme diets or supplement overload.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

• Why aging symptoms like dryness, fatigue, and inflammation are signs of yin depletion

• How Chinese medicine explains aging in 7-year cycles and what that means for your health today.

• Which foods actually support vitality, kidney energy, and hormone balance as you age.

• How movement, breathwork, and simple dietary shifts can help you age with more ease and energy.

Have you ever said, "I just don't feel like myself anymore" — even though your labs look normal?

In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause breaks down why inflammation starts in the brain, how it drives fatigue, brain fog, cravings, hormone imbalance, and accelerated aging — and why 2026 is the year to stop suppressing symptoms and start correcting root causes.

Inflammation isn't just a body problem.
It's a brain health issue first.

Your brain uses 20% of your daily calories, and when inflammation is present, it shifts into defensive mode, not performance mode. That's when clarity disappears, energy crashes, and nothing feels like it's working anymore.

🧠 What You'll Learn in This Episode

✔ Why fatigue often begins as brain fatigue and inflammation
✔ How inflammation changes perception, memory, and focus
✔ Why stress and unresolved trauma amplify inflammation
✔ The connection between blood sugar instability and brain fog
✔ How hormonal changes increase inflammation and cravings
✔ Why circulation and oxygen delivery are critical for healing
✔ How peptides may support inflammation regulation and mitochondrial health
✔ Why labs miss inflammation — but patterns don't
✔ How a personalized, holistic approach is the future of health

🚨 Signs of Brain Inflammation (Even When Labs Look "Normal")

• Brain fog after meals

• Morning stiffness lasting longer than 30 minutes

• Energy crashes or "wired but tired" feeling

• Poor recovery from exercise

• Mood and cognition fluctuations

• Low HRV or elevated resting heart rate

• Elevated CGM readings or blood sugar swings

Pattern recognition often detects inflammation long before labs do.

⏳ Why Inflammation Makes You Feel "Old"

When inflammation stays elevated:

• Cells don't repair efficiently

• Mitochondria produce less energy (ATP)

• Hormone signaling becomes disrupted

• Blood sugar regulation worsens

• Fat storage increases

• The brain becomes less efficient

That's why so many people say:

"I feel inflamed, puffy, foggy, and exhausted — but nothing is technically wrong."

🔄 The Key Reframe

Inflammation is not the enemy.
It's a signal.

Suppressing it without addressing the cause is like turning off a smoke alarm while the fire keeps burning.

• Acute inflammation heals

• Chronic inflammation drains energy, accelerates aging, and blocks results

• The solution is root-cause correction, not symptom suppression

🧬 Why Brain Fog Happens (Step-by-Step)

Chronic inflammation releases pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β) that:

• Travel through the bloodstream

• Cross or weaken the blood–brain barrier

• Activate microglia (the brain's immune cells)

🚨 Result: The brain shifts into protection mode, not clarity mode.

This leads to:

• Slower thinking

• Trouble focusing

• Word-finding difficulty

• Poor mental stamina

Your brain is conserving energy for survival — not performance.

🔋 What Actually Clears Inflammatory Brain Fog

(Not suppression — regulation)

✔ Reduce inflammatory triggers (food, toxins, stress)
✔ Stabilize blood sugar
✔ Improve circulation and oxygen delivery
✔ Calm the nervous system
✔ Support mitochondrial function

When the environment improves, the brain recovers.

🧪 How to Measure Inflammation Beyond Standard Labs

To truly assess inflammation, you must look at:

• Immune signaling: IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β

• Metabolic stress: Insulin, A1C, HOMA-IR, TG:HDL, CGMs

• Oxidative damage: OxLDL, 8-OHdG

• Gut integrity: Zonulin, Calprotectin, Lactoferrin

• Nervous system load: HRV, S100B, GFAP

• Circulation: hsCRP, ESR, Homocysteine, Fibrinogen, ADMA

This is why people are told "everything looks normal" — while feeling anything but.

🎧 Bottom Line

Inflammation is your body trying to protect you.
But when it becomes chronic, it quietly rewires how you feel, think, and age.
