According to the CDC, 92 million adults in the U.S. were prescribed statins in 2018 — medications used to lower cholesterol and reduce cardiovascular risk. While statins can be life-saving for many, their widespread use raises important questions about lifestyle, prevention, and metabolic health.

Here’s what to keep in mind:

💊 Statins and Function
Statins reduce cholesterol synthesis in the liver, helping prevent arterial plaque buildup and lowering heart disease risk.

🍎 Root Cause Still Matters
High cholesterol is often a symptom, not the root cause. Chronic inflammation, poor diet, and insulin resistance all play key roles in cardiovascular disease.

🏃‍♂️ Lifestyle Remains Foundational
Nutrition, exercise, and blood sugar control can significantly impact lipid balance and overall cardiovascular resilience.

🧠 Functional Perspective
The goal should not only be lowering cholesterol numbers but improving metabolic function and reducing inflammation systemically.

Medication can be a valuable too but it works best when combined with lifestyle changes that address the root causes of poor metabolic health.

What if true wellness could be measured, achieved, and sustained—not just wished for? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Dane Donohue, creator of 8 Weeks to Wellness and a leading voice in chiropractic and functional health.

Our conversation begins with the reality of today’s health crisis—rising obesity rates, chronic disease, and declining vitality—and explores how society’s current approach to healthcare has missed the mark. Dr. Donohue shares how growing up in a chiropractic family shaped his belief that health should be proactive, measurable, and holistic.

Together, we explore what it means to take control of your health story and how true wellness starts long before disease appears.

Your body thrives on rhythm, and sleep is no exception.

Irregular sleep patterns don’t just cause fatigue; they disrupt your body’s internal clock and metabolic balance.

Research shows that inconsistent bedtimes and wake-up times, along with fluctuating sleep duration, significantly raise your risk for:
1️⃣ Obesity
2️⃣ High cholesterol
3️⃣ Hypertension and high blood sugar / metabolic disorders

Every hour of variability in your sleep schedule increases your chance of developing a metabolic abnormality by 27%.

Prioritize consistency. Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Your metabolism depends on it.

The future of healthcare won’t be defined by one profession or philosophy. It will be built on collaboration where conventional, alternative, and functional medicine work together to support the whole person.

We’re entering an era where patients don’t have to choose between a doctor, chiropractor, or acupuncturist. They can build a team that looks at every aspect of health through different lenses.

🧩 Each discipline sees what others might miss
A medical doctor may focus on lab results, while a chiropractor observes biomechanics and movement, and an herbalist identifies biochemical imbalances. Together, they create a more complete picture.

🤝 Patients become active participants
Integrated care invites you to understand your body from multiple angles, empowering you to make decisions that fit your goals, not just your symptoms.

💡 True wellness is a team effort
When different modalities communicate and align around evidence and outcomes, health becomes proactive, not reactive.

The next phase of medicine isn’t about competition between systems. It’s about connection. The best care comes from integration rooted in trust, transparency, and results.

A healthy gut microbiome isn’t built overnight, it’s a result of consistent, daily habits that nourish your body from the inside out.

Here are five ways to strengthen your gut ecosystem:

1️⃣ Eat real food. Nutritious food provides the right information for your cells, while processed food drives inflammation and imbalance.

2️⃣ Exercise regularly. When your muscles contract, they release myokines which are the proteins that communicate with your gut and support systemic health.

3️⃣ Combine probiotics and prebiotics. Probiotics are beneficial bacteria, while prebiotics (fibers and fermented foods) feed them so they can thrive and repopulate your gut.

4️⃣ Manage stress. Chronic stress harms your gut microbiome and impairs digestion. Relaxation helps restore balance.

5️⃣ Prioritize sleep. Aim for 7.5 hours of quality rest. Deep sleep supports brain detoxification and strengthens the gut-brain connection—especially when you sleep on your left side.

Your gut health influences everything, from metabolism to mental clarity. Start small, stay consistent, and let your microbiome thrive.

We often assume that if a patient doesn’t follow advice, they weren’t listening. In reality, they just didn’t hear it enough.

Jonathan Marx reminds us that people rarely act on something the first time they hear it. Whether it’s a lifestyle recommendation or a new supplement protocol, patients need multiple exposures before the message truly sticks.

Here’s why repetition matters:

🧠 Reinforcement builds retention
Behavioral change requires repeated reminders that connect logic to habit.

📱 Multiple media multiplies impact
Video, print, digital tools, and conversation all play a role in reinforcing consistent health messages.

💬 Patience transforms practice
When we meet patients where they are and repeat key points with empathy, we empower real, lasting transformation.

Consistency in communication leads to consistency in health.

Healthcare isn’t just about modern drugs or new technology. It’s also about the centuries of wisdom found in traditional medicine, practices that have supported healing long before clinical trials existed.

Here’s what you should know:

🌿 Traditional vs. Conventional
Traditional medicine includes acupuncture, chiropractic care, and herbal remedies, all grounded in years of real-world results. Conventional medicine, on the other hand, relies on evidence from controlled trials, often funded by pharmaceutical companies.

💊 The Funding Gap
Pharma-backed research focuses on products that can be patented and sold. But what about treatments like herbs or acupuncture that don’t bring profit? That’s why many traditional approaches lack large-scale studies, even if they’ve worked for generations.

📚 Finding Balance
The goal isn’t to choose one over the other but to integrate both. Traditional medicine offers time-tested results, while evidence-based research ensures safety and consistency.

When peer-reviewed research meets ancestral wisdom, that’s where true healthcare progress begins.

Sleep isn’t just rest, it’s repair. 😴

When you shortchange your sleep, even for one night, your immune defenses take a hit. Over time, chronic sleep deprivation disrupts inflammation control, weakens antibody response, and leaves your body more vulnerable to infections.

To strengthen immunity:
1️⃣ Keep a consistent bedtime and wake-up time
2️⃣ Limit blue light exposure before bed
3️⃣ Avoid caffeine late in the day
4️⃣ Create a cool, dark, quiet sleep environment

Your body heals while you sleep so make it a priority.

Medicine is evolving faster than ever, but so are the challenges of misinformation and fragmented healthcare communication.

In this episode, I sit down with Jonathan Marx, a luminary in the realm of healthcare marketing and media, to discuss how evidence-based medicine can reclaim its central role in a system too often driven by trends and profit. Drawing from his experience in medical communications and media, Marx shares his mission to bridge the gap between science and public understanding through credible, accessible education.

This conversation is a call to elevate medical literacy, strengthen trust in data-driven care, and empower both practitioners and patients with the knowledge needed to make informed health decisions.
