Join us on the Vibrant Wellness Podcast as we delve into the growing challenge of autoimmune diseases with our special guest, Dr. Jay Goodbinder. As a chiropractic physician and functional medicine practitioner, Dr. Goodbinder shares his journey of overcoming psoriatic arthritis—an experience that inspired his medical career. We explore the limitations of conventional medicine, often described as a "quick-fix" approach, and the increasing prevalence of autoimmune diseases worldwide. Nearly half of the population now faces chronic disease, highlighting the need for functional medicine’s personalized strategies, including tailored nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, detox protocols, and hormone balance.

Our conversation shifts to the microbiome's critical role in health, starting with childbirth. We discuss the impact of birth methods on a newborn's microbiome and how minimal medical interventions can lead to long-term health benefits. The discussion also touches on the balance between adaptive and innate immunity, especially in the context of the COVID vaccine, and the pivotal role of gut health, liver function, and detoxification. We explore how modern lifestyle factors, like gallbladder removal and alcohol consumption, complicate these systems.

In the final segment, we discuss the importance of individualized supplementation. Dr. Goodbinder introduces his supplement line, Life Support, designed to deliver essential nutrients and promote overall health. We examine how Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) compares to prednisone in managing autoimmune conditions, with LDN offering immune-preserving benefits.

Tune in for an insightful episode that brings functional medicine strategies to the forefront—empowering practitioners to deliver better outcomes for their patients.

Join us on the Vibrant Wellness Podcast as we explore how stress can affect your health as much as a poor diet. Chronic stress disrupts the HPA axis, throwing off cortisol levels and impacting overall health. We welcome Jessica Bruno, a functional medicine nutritionist, to share her personal journey. She rejected immunosuppressants without a clear diagnosis and instead found healing through functional medicine—emphasizing the importance of stress management, sleep, and movement in sustainable wellness.

We dive into the connection between stress and blood sugar, showing how effective stress management can help stabilize blood sugar levels. By incorporating simple lifestyle changes—such as consistent routines—we explain how these adjustments directly impact your health. We also highlight tools like glucose monitors and baseline blood work, offering practical ways to track blood sugar fluctuations and personalize nutrition and stress reduction strategies.

Our conversation also covers digestion and gut health, explaining how poor digestion can lead to nutrient deficiencies and heightened stress responses. We explore the benefits of intermittent fasting, the effects of caffeine on an empty stomach, and the importance of consistent meal patterns. You'll also hear tips for managing stress, including vagal toning exercises, and we discuss common nutrient deficiencies. Finally, we underscore the role of sleep—reducing screen time and aligning with natural circadian rhythms—as a key factor in improving health outcomes.
