Unraveling the Mysteries of Functional Medicine and Chronic Health Issues with Dr. Forrest Sauer

08/17/23 • 46 min

Ever felt overwhelmed by brain fog and fatigue? You're not alone - I've been there, and have discovered the transformative power of functional medicine. Join me as I host Dr. Forrest Sauer of Twin Oaks Health in a thought-provoking conversation that takes us through my personal journey from chronic health issues to discovering the world of functional medicine. We explore the key role of lab tests in unraveling the root cause of thyroid disorders and how a holistic approach can lead to genuine, lasting improvements.
Imagine a doctor who looks beyond mere symptoms and treats you as a whole. That's what functional medicine is all about and why Dr. Sauer is here. We delve deep into the intricate dance of stress, health, and the influence of the environment on our bodies. We discuss the potent triad of physical, chemical, and emotional stress and how they manifest in our health. Drawing from the fascinating concept of 'orchids and dandelions,' we highlight why health outcomes can drastically differ within the same family. We also touch upon how companies are stepping up to support employees' wellbeing in our fast-paced world.
But wait, there's more. We also take a hard look at the U.S. healthcare system, acknowledging its shortcomings in addressing chronic diseases. We share our experiences and debate the pressing need for a shift to preventive care. Then, we pivot to the dietary front, debunking myths about artificial sweeteners and exercise, and emphasizing the need to fight inflammation with powerful lifestyle changes. As we wrap up our enlightening exchange, we chat about Dr. Sauer's practice at Twin Oaks Health and the crucial role of patient education in achieving health goals. So tune in, grab a cup of tea, and get ready for an adventure in health and wellness like no other!

Episode 43. Seriously—who knew supplements were getting so sophisticated and targeted? I'm all for some good 'ol Vitamin C, but the chemistry involved in these new EMF protection products from LightBody Labs takes supplementation to a whole new level. It's fascinating.
My guests are co-founders of Lightbody Labs, Kylen Ribeiro (CEO) and Michelle Klein (COO), who started their careers with DefenderShield, working alongside Daniel and Ryan DeBaun.
The DefenderShield leadership team knew they could do more to help protect people from toxins from technology. With that desire in mind, they set out to complement their external protection products with supplements to actually help the body become more resilient to EMFs, blue light, and other toxins at the cellular level.
Using the latest research and knowledge from their relationships with doctors, physicians, researchers, biologists, scientists, health experts and formulators, they created a new company, Lightbody, the world’s only digital wellness supplements.

Episode 47. Prepare yourself for a soul-stirring discussion with the internationally acclaimed author, speaker, and self-development guru, Dr. Lin Morel. In our riveting conversation, Lin unspools the story of her remarkable career, punctuated by a fascinating detour from being a petrochemical buyer in a male-dominated field to becoming a beacon of tranquility amidst life's tempestuous waves. We traverse the intricate labyrinth of spirituality intertwined with science, and Lin's profound insights paint a vivid narrative of the eternal dance between these two realms.
As we delve deeper, we unravel the profound impacts of trauma on our minds, bodies, and spirits. Lin guides us through the complex pathways of our brain, shedding light on the role of the amygdala and the significance of 'counting' rather than 'rehashing' traumatic experiences. We touch on martial arts and energy connections, and their power in healing trauma. In our exploration, we underscore the healing potential of intuition, creativity, and open-heartedness on the journey towards self-actualization.
Towards the end, our conversation ventures into the realms of effective communication and psychological safety. We explore the transformative power of self-love, resilience, and the recognition of our unique gifts. As Lin shares her extraordinary tale of overcoming trauma, finding joy, and being recognized for her outstanding contributions in trauma consulting, we hope you'll find inspiration and courage.
