| 405. The 16-Point Model Dr. Richard Horowitz Uses When Patients Stay Sick | 01 oct. 2026 | 01:25:30 | |
Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. Why do some people remain chronically ill even after treating Lyme disease, mold exposure, or Long COVID? Dr. Richard Horowitz joins me to break down his 16-point MSIDS model and the overlapping factors he looks for in complex chronic illness, including Lyme and Bartonella, Babesia, mold and mycotoxins, mast cell activation (MCAS), gut dysfunction, POTS, mitochondrial dysfunction, immune dysregulation, and nervous system health. We also get into some of the most provocative areas of his recent work: Alzheimer’s disease and p-tau217, his dapsone protocols for persistent Lyme and Bartonella, why some patients struggle with treatment, how he decides what to address first, and what may determine why one person recovers after an infection while another develops chronic illness. Dr. Horowitz also explains why looking beyond a single diagnosis may change how we think about Long COVID, chronic Lyme disease, mold illness, brain health, and recovery. We discuss the following:

| 404. The Hidden Cost of Making Your Health Your Entire Life | 24 sept. 2026 | 00:22:47 | |
Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. What if the way you’re approaching chronic illness is making your life smaller while you’re trying to get better? In this episode, Judy Cho explores the connection between chronic illness, nervous system regulation, root-cause healing, and the tendency to postpone life until every symptom is resolved. From strict diets and supplement protocols to the constant search for the next answer, we examine how healing can gradually become the center of your identity, and why that may affect your sense of purpose, connection, and peace. Drawing from conversations in Empower Functional Health and the Wholeness Method, Judy discusses the backwards law, the difference between pursuing healing and chasing perfect conditions, and how faith can provide perspective through difficult seasons. This conversation is for anyone navigating CIRS, mold illness, autoimmune conditions, chronic inflammation, or other long-term health challenges who feels caught between doing everything possible to recover and wanting to live again. It is not about abandoning treatment or ignoring real physical limitations; it is about asking a more difficult question: how do you continue healing without putting your entire life on hold?

| 403. Why You're Still Sick, Sensitive and Reacting after Removing the Trigger | 17 sept. 2026 | 00:37:53 | |
Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. Why can mast cell symptoms, histamine reactions, brain fog, fatigue, food sensitivities, and inflammation continue even when your labs look normal or the original trigger is gone? In this episode, I break down the connection between stress, CRH, cortisol, mast cell activation, histamine, the nervous system, and chronic illness, including why mast cells can react before cortisol rises and why standard testing may not always capture what is happening in the moment. We also look at how mold exposure, infections, diet, psychological stress, and nervous system dysregulation can all feed into the same neuroimmune response. If you have MCAS, histamine intolerance, mold illness, CIRS, chronic Lyme, food reactions, gut issues, or persistent inflammatory symptoms, this conversation may help explain why focusing on only one trigger is sometimes not enough. I also cover the feedback loop among the brain, hypothalamus, mast cells, immune mediators, and symptoms; why reactions can continue after an exposure has been removed; and what it means to address both the physical and nervous-system sides of chronic illness without dismissing either.

| 402. The Real Reason We Fear Supplemental Iodine for Thyroid Health | 10 sept. 2026 | 00:18:09 | |
Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. Iodine supplementation remains one of the most debated topics in thyroid health. Some practitioners warn that iodine, especially higher-dose forms such as Lugol’s iodine, may trigger thyroid dysfunction, Hashimoto’s, or hyperthyroidism, while others argue that iodine deficiency is widespread and often overlooked. In this episode, Judy Cho examines the Wolff–Chaikoff effect, iodine’s role beyond the thyroid, and why iodized salt may not provide enough iodine for optimal health.

| 401. What Every Pet Owner Should Know About Food, Vaccines, Medications & Vet Care | 03 sept. 2026 | 02:13:26 | |
Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. Dr. Judi Keller is a veterinarian who spent roughly two decades practicing conventional veterinary medicine before shifting toward a more holistic approach. After becoming increasingly uncomfortable with how heavily veterinary care could rely on pharmaceuticals and symptom management, she pursued additional training in acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, and integrative care. Her work has focused on helping dogs and cats build better health through species-appropriate nutrition, reducing unnecessary exposures, and looking more carefully at the individual animal rather than automatically following a one-size-fits-all protocol. In this conversation, we question some of the most routine decisions pet owners are asked to make and why many of us rarely stop to examine them. We discuss what may be hiding behind familiar pet-food labels, how veterinary recommendations have changed over time, and how to think more critically about nutrition, medications, vaccines, parasite prevention, testing, and other aspects of everyday pet care. This episode is not about avoiding veterinary care; it is about becoming a more informed pet owner, understanding risks and trade-offs, and asking better questions so you can make thoughtful decisions for the animal you love. We discuss the following:

| 400. Can You Really Eat Carnivore for Years? 4 Concerns You Should Know | 27 août 2026 | 00:37:24 | |
Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. Can a carnivore diet actually be healthy long term? It’s one of the biggest questions around carnivore, especially when the conversation turns to nutrient deficiencies, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium, fiber, gut health, the microbiome, and whether an all-meat diet is simply too restrictive to sustain. In this 400th episode of the Nutrition with Judy podcast, I break down four of the most common concerns about eating carnivore long term and look at what deserves a closer examination. We also get into what the nutrition research can and cannot tell us about long-term dietary safety, how nutrient variety differs from nutrient sufficiency, questions around fiber and digestive health, and what actually matters when evaluating whether a diet is working for an individual. If you follow a carnivore diet, are considering one, or are questioning whether carnivore can be sustainable for years, this episode walks through the arguments that deserve more nuance.

| 399. He Ate Only Sardines for 5 Days. Then We Tested His Blood | 20 août 2026 | 00:55:50 | |
Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. Robert Sikes put the viral sardine fast to a controlled test: five days of eating approximately 18 cans of sardines per day while maintaining roughly 3,000 calories. In this interview, Judy Cho and Robert examine what happened to his weight, blood glucose, ketones, energy, inflammation, hunger, and overall performance—and why his experience differed from the dramatic weight-loss results commonly shared across the keto and carnivore communities. They also review Robert’s bloodwork before, immediately after, and several weeks after the sardine challenge, including arsenic, mercury, lead, cholesterol, thyroid markers, and SHBG. The conversation explores whether sardine fasting produces unique metabolic benefits, what may actually drive the rapid changes people report, and how extreme short-term diets can affect metabolic health, binge-restriction patterns, and long-term weight-loss success. We discuss the following:

| 398. Why Perfectionism and Control Can Quietly Work Against Chronic Illness Recovery | 13 août 2026 | 00:43:29 | |
**Our final Wholeness Method cohort of 2026 is open now.** Can you follow a carnivore diet, improve your environment, take the right supplements, and still feel stuck in chronic illness? Judy Cho sits down with licensed clinical social worker and Wholeness Method practitioner Lauren Cogan to examine nervous system dysregulation, trauma responses, anxiety, people-pleasing, boundaries, CIRS, mold illness, and the mind-body patterns that can remain after the physical foundations are addressed. This conversation explores why some behaviors that appear to be personality may actually be protective responses, why understanding a pattern is different from changing it, and how chronic illness can alter the way someone interprets every new healing strategy. This is not an argument against carnivore or functional medicine. It examines the additional layer that may matter when diet, sleep, lifestyle, and protocols have helped, but the body still does not feel safe.

| 397. Can Eating Too Much Fat Make You Gain Weight on Carnivore? | 06 août 2026 | 01:06:04 | |
Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. Can eating more fat stall weight loss, even on a zero-carb carnivore diet? In this episode, Judy Cho sits down with Craig Emmerich to examine why some people lose weight effortlessly on carnivore or keto while others gain weight, struggle with hunger, or see their metabolic health worsen. They discuss dietary fat, protein intake, calories, leptin resistance, muscle loss, fasting, thyroid function, hormones, and why postmenopausal women may respond differently than men. The conversation also moves beyond macros into the limits of diet itself. Craig shares what years of strict carnivore could and could not resolve in his own experience with Lyme disease, mold illness, CIRS, inflammation, and chronic pain. This episode challenges several popular carnivore claims while offering a more individualized framework for weight loss, body composition, metabolic health, and long-term healing.

Heart surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia joins Judy Cho to discuss what may actually drive heart disease beyond a single focus on LDL cholesterol. Drawing from 25 years in cardiac surgery and more than 3,400 operations, he explains why insulin resistance, inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, diet, and vascular damage deserve more attention in heart disease prevention.

Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. What if chronic stress is the real reason chronically ill patients fail to heal, no matter what protocol they follow? Dr. Stephen Sideroff has spent decades researching exactly what happens to the nervous system under prolonged stress, and what he's found challenges how most practitioners think about root-cause healing. In this episode, he reveals what conventional medicine gets wrong about stress, why some people are wired to stay stuck, and what it actually takes to get the body back into a state where healing is even possible. Watch the full interview to find out. Dr. Stephen Sideroff is a clinical psychologist, resilience researcher, and assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at UCLA. He is the founder of the UCLA Stress Strategies program and author of The Path: Mastering the Nine Pillars of Resilience and Success, a comprehensive framework built on decades of clinical research into stress, neurofeedback, and what separates people who heal from people who stay stuck.

| 391. Plant-Based Researcher: Blue Zones Were Never What You Were Told - Belinda Fettke | 25 juin 2026 | 01:36:11 | |
Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. Belinda and I dive into the hidden history behind our dietary guidelines, tracing how a 19th-century religious health movement helped shape the modern demonization of meat and the rise of fiber, breakfast cereal, and plant-based dogma. She breaks down how the Seventh Day Adventist Church, John Harvey Kellogg, and powerful food and academic institutions worked together to manufacture the "Blue Zones" longevity story, and why the real history of Sardinia, Okinawa, Ikaria, and Loma Linda tells a very different tale about meat, pork, and animal fat. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more. Belinda Fettke is an independent researcher known for investigating the historical, religious, and commercial influences on modern dietary guidelines. After her husband, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Gary Fettke, was investigated for advising patients to reduce sugar and refined carbohydrates, she began researching the origins of nutrition policy and public health messaging. Her work focuses on the intersections of religion, industry, and dietary recommendations. The interview explores how these factors may have shaped modern views on meat, plant-based diets, and chronic disease. We discuss the following:

| 390. PCOS Just Got Renamed. What Is It and Here's Why. | 18 juin 2026 | 00:15:51 | |
Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. PCOS has a new name: PMOS, or Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. The shift matters because PCOS was never really just about “cysts” on the ovaries. It has always been a broader endocrine and metabolic condition that can affect periods, ovulation, androgen hormones, insulin signaling, skin, mood, and long-term cardiometabolic risk. In this short solo episode, I break down why the name is changing, what PMOS means, how diagnosis works, and why symptoms like irregular periods may be less random than they seem. I also touch on the deeper question: could some cases of PMOS be an early warning sign of broader inflammatory or biotoxin-driven dysfunction, including CIRS?

But if your “safe food” list keeps getting smaller, restriction may no longer be the solution. In this episode, Judy Cho explains why mast cell activation syndrome is not just about histamine, why food reactions can be a sign of a deeper immune threshold problem, and why the goal is not to fear more foods. The goal is to understand why the body is reacting in the first place.

Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. Dr. Gary Fettke and I dive into the real drivers of modern disease: sugar, processed carbohydrates, and seed oils, and which of the three is doing the most damage. We break down the biochemistry of fructose, the polyol pathway, and how LDL particles are affected by diet. We also get into the origins of fat shaming, how pharmaceutical companies shaped public language around obesity, the fiber myth, and why cholesterol is wildly misunderstood. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more. Dr. Gary Fettke is a retired orthopedic surgeon and one of the earliest and most vocal proponents of low-carb, ketogenic, and carnivore nutrition in Australia. He was among the first in the world to describe the combination of sugar, refined carbohydrates, and seed oils as a nutritional model of inflammation and modern disease, a framework he developed back in 2013. Despite being investigated by the Australian medical board for his dietary advocacy, he has continued to push for change in national nutrition policy, helping make low-carb the nationally recognized strategy for diabetes management in Australia. He works alongside his wife Belinda Fettke, whose research tracks the ideological and corporate forces driving flawed dietary guidelines. We discuss the following:

| 380. Is the Carnivore Diet Unbiblical? What the Bible Says About Diets, Restrictions, and Your Body (Part 2) | 09 avr. 2026 | 00:23:07 | |
Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. Is eating a limited diet, such as a Carnivore diet, or avoiding certain foods because they harm you unbiblical? This episode explores what Scripture actually says about food, freedom, and caring for the body. The Bible does not treat medically necessary or health-based food avoidance as sin. Instead, it emphasizes stewardship, wisdom, self-control, and honoring God with your body. While the New Testament removes ceremonial food restrictions, it does not require people to eat everything indiscriminately. Rather than condemning dietary limits, Scripture consistently calls for honoring God with your body and recognizing that something may be permitted yet still not be beneficial to you personally.

| 379. The Garden of Eden Diet - What the Bible Really Shares (Part 1) | 02 avr. 2026 | 00:24:16 | |
Get personalized root-cause care with Empower Functional Health. Is a plant-based pattern like the Garden of Eden diet or the “Daniel diet” the ideal biblical way to eat? This episode looks at what the Bible actually shows about food across different periods: from the plant foods in Eden, to the permission to eat animals after the Flood, to Israel’s dietary laws, and finally to the New Testament's focus on faith rather than food rules. It also considers whether Jesus ate meat and why early Christians were told not to divide over diet. Instead of promoting a single required “biblical diet,” the episode explores how Scripture shifts attention from specific foods to the condition of the heart and to freedom under the new covenant.

Regardless of the terminologies, the point was to see what funny games statisticians will use for marketing pharma drugs (and this happens in a lot of types of marketing...) To see a clear write-up of the absolute risk vs relative risk, you can read an article I shared about it: https://www.nutritionwithjudy.com/old-newsletter/why-statins-dont-stop-heart-attacks/ In this episode, I walk through why statins are prescribed (especially with LDL above 190 mg/dL or with type 2 diabetes), and I explain how statin marketing can make the benefits look bigger than they really are by using relative risk instead of absolute risk. I also cover major concerns I see with statins, including nutrient depletion (like CoQ10) and potential impacts on muscle function over time. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.
