Half of all heart attacks happen in people with “normal” cholesterol.
Read that again.

They had normal LDL. They passed the standard screening. But their inflammation markers, particle size, metabolic health, and oxidative stress? Abnormal.

This is what happens when we treat populations instead of individuals. When we rely on outdated ranges instead of personalized risk assessment.

You’re not a statistic. You’re not “average.” And your health deserves more than a one-size-fits-all approach.
We need to look deeper: advanced lipid panels, inflammatory markers, metabolic function—the full picture, not just the headline number.

Normal doesn’t mean optimal. And it definitely doesn’t mean safe.

I was on TV talking about health tips for the holidays, and here’s what I really want you to hear: be kind to yourself and forgive yourself.

We don’t want guilt during the holidays.

Find your balance- not restriction, but also not overindulgence. Enjoy your favorite treats, the ones you don’t get year-round, without shame. Pair them with plenty of veggies and protein to stabilize your blood sugar and keep your energy up.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about enjoying the season while still feeling good in your body.

Comment “BALANCE” to learn more about finding the middle ground between the conventional medical approach and the wellness influencer approach.

Perfect nutrition. Consistent exercise. All the supplements.
And you still don’t feel better.
Why? Because you’re ignoring the mind.

Your brain is the physical organ—it stores data, processes signals. But your mind is what thinks, feels, interprets, and makes choices. It’s 99% of who you are.
And without managing your mind—the stress, the thought loops, the unprocessed emotions—your body will stay stuck in survival mode no matter how “healthy” your habits are.

Stress hormones disrupt digestion. Anxiety tanks sleep quality. Negative thought patterns trigger inflammation.

Your mind shapes your biology. And if you’re not tending to it, you’re missing the most powerful tool you have. You have to start with the mind. Everything else is downstream.

Conventional medicine is designed to find disease and fix it.
The problem? It has not tools for you in the “pre-disease” stage.

Wellness ➡️ Pre-Disease ➡️ Illness
You’re in that middle zone. Something’s off. You don’t feel well. But your labs are “normal,” so you’re told you’re fine.
Diabetes example: Normal A1C ➡️ Pre-diabetes (where you get zero support) ➡️ Diabetic (where you get a prescription).
Dementia example: Sharp memory ➡️ Brain fog and forgetfulness (dismissed as “normal aging”) ➡️ Dementia (medications, home health, assisted living).

We wait until you’re sick enough to treat. We don’t catch you on the way down.This is why symptoms matter even when labs are “normal.” Why we can’t just wait for disease to show up before we act.

You deserve intervention in the pre-disease stage—not after the damage is done.

Feeling “fine” on paper but not in real life? This episode is for you.

We connect joint pain, brain fog, gut issues, blood sugar swings, and burnout to one common driver: chronic inflammation. Learn what inflammation is (acute vs. chronic), where it shows up, and practical ways to lower the “fire” without fads.

If your symptoms are unlabeled or dismissed, this may be the missing link.

It’s time to advocate for yourself and connect the dots. When symptoms are minimized, blamed on stress, or brushed off as “normal for your age” (hello, medical gaslighting), care gets delayed.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not imagining it. Your experience is data. Start there.

Comment INFLAMMATION for the full episode!

Fibromyalgia is not an acceptable diagnosis.
And before you get mad—hear me out.

I’m not saying your symptoms aren’t real. I’m saying that “fibromyalgia” is what you’re told when doctors can’t figure out what’s actually wrong.

After 2+ years of appointments and specialists, you’re left with a label and a prescription for nerve pain meds. But no one’s asked: What’s triggering this?

Your body doesn’t just randomly break down. There’s always a root cause. Gut dysfunction. Mold. Lyme. Thyroid. Heavy metals. Adrenal fatigue. These are real, treatable conditions—but they require the right testing and the right questions.
If you’ve been given a fibromyalgia diagnosis and no clear path forward, it’s time to build your case.

There’s no better time than now to be sick.
Sounds backwards—but stay with me.

For the first time, you have access to your own data. Advanced lipid panels. CGMs. Imaging. Functional frameworks that didn’t exist a generation ago.
But tools don’t create agency. You do.

Stop outsourcing all your power to a system that wasn’t built to prioritize you. Ask what the plan is. Ask what else is driving your risk. Ask what can be changed—not just what can be prescribed.

Your health team works for you. Not the other way around.

“Your labs are normal.”But you feel anything BUT normal. Those reference ranges?

They’re designed to catch disease, not dysfunction. They’re built to find the cliff, not warn you that you’re walking toward it.So when your thyroid is “fine” but you’re exhausted, gaining weight, and losing hair—you’re not crazy.

You’re in that gray zone between optimal and diseased that conventional medicine wasn’t designed to address.This is why we use ALL the tools: conventional labs AND functional ranges, symptoms AND numbers, your story AND the science.

You deserve a doctor who looks at the early warning signs, not just waits for the fire.

You don’t need labs to prove what your body is already telling you.

If you’re 45+, have hot flashes, brain fog, and night sweats- you’re likely in perimenopause. Period.I believe you. Your lived experience matters.Yes, labs can be helpful, especially if you’re younger or symptoms are unclear. But for many of you? The validation you’re seeking from a test already exists in what you’re feeling every single day.

We use ALL the tools—conventional medicine, functional approaches, labs when needed. But we start with believing YOU first.

Your body isn’t broken. The system just wasn’t designed to track individual patterns.

“Every time I eat dairy, I get bloated.”
“That’s not scientifically proven.”
Both statements are true. Population studies show what works for most people. Your N=1 shows what works for you.

When your lived experience gets dismissed because it doesn’t match the average, you lose valuable information. Your patterns aren’t anecdotal-they’re data points worth investigating.

You’re not a statistic waiting to be proven. You’re the expert on your own body.

Use clinical guidelines as your starting point, not your endpoint. Track your patterns. Bring your observations to appointments. Work with your doctor to connect the dots.

The best medicine happens when population science meets individual experience-when both forms of evidence get a seat at the table.
