Why We Have The Worst Health Outcomes Of All Industrialized Nations with Dr. Charles Modlin, Dr. Leonor Osorio, and Tawny Jones

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Pique. Not only does poor sleep make you less productive and uncomfortably tired, but it can also wreak havoc on your hormones and health. Yet so many patients tell me they often find themselves awake between 1:00 am and 4:00 am. There are many factors that can contribute to sleep issues, but the two most common culprits threatening your sleep-wake cycles are unregulated blood sugar levels (or poor nutrition status) and chronic stress. In today’s episode of my series I’m calling Health Bites, I talk all about sleep and my top tips for what you can do to stay asleep and sleep more deeply.  This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health and Pique.

I often hear from patients, “I’ve hit a stubborn weight-loss plateau; even though I seem to be doing everything right, like eating the right foods and exercising, I’m not losing weight.

Brain conditions, such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, Alzheimer’s, and even schizophrenia, are fast becoming one of the largest categories of chronic health concerns. Instead of just relying on the traditional approach of looking at the brain in isolation as the means of healing these conditions, we are learning more and more that when you heal the body, you also heal the mind. In today’s episode, I talk with Dhru Purohit, Dr. Dale Bredesen, and Dr. Todd LePine about the one common factor behind all brain disorders: inflammation. We explore how inflammation may arise from our diets, toxins in our environment, stress, and more. Dhru Purohit is a podcast host, serial entrepreneur, and investor in the health and wellness industry. His podcast, The Dhru Purohit Podcast, is a top 50 global health podcast with over 30 million unique downloads.

Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is board certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA.
