In this episode of the Beyond The Basics Health Academy Podcast, hosts Dr. Meaghan and Chad from One Agora Integrative Health to delve deep into the realm of Functional Medicine. With a focus on understanding the key differences between functional medicine and conventional medicine, they shed light on the reasons why One Agora chooses this comprehensive approach to healthcare.

🔍 Unraveling the Functional Medicine Mystery: The episode kicks off with an exploration of what sets Functional Medicine apart from the traditional model of healthcare. Listeners gain insight into the core principles that underpin functional medicine, which include an emphasis on uncovering the root causes of health issues, personalized treatment plans, and a holistic approach to healing.

🌿 The Holistic Path to Optimal Health: Dr. Meaghan and Chad guide the conversation towards the core philosophy of Functional Medicine – treating the individual, not just the symptoms. They elaborate on how the team at One Agora conducts comprehensive tests to identify the underlying factors affecting a person's well-being. By understanding the unique biochemical makeup of each patient, they can design tailor-made treatments for more effective and sustainable results.

đź©ş Functional vs. Conventional Medicine: Drawing a clear distinction between functional and conventional medicine, the experts highlight the limitations of the traditional healthcare system, which often focuses on symptom management. Functional Medicine, on the other hand, is presented as an empowering approach that equips patients with knowledge about their health, allowing them to become active participants in their healing journey.

đź’ˇTune in to this episode of the Beyond The Basics Health Academy Podcast to discover the transformative potential of Functional Medicine and why One Agora Integrative Health has embraced this holistic path towards optimal health and well-being.

In this episode of Beyond the Basics Health Academy, Dr. Meaghan discusses the need for sunlight. This conversation stems not only from really getting into the research of the benefits of Vitamin D, but also the conversation that we need to have that it is vital to get enough sunlight exposure.

Dr. Meaghan talks throughout the podcast about the vital role of vitamin D and the need for sunlight exposure. Vitamin D is an essential fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in maintaining calcium balance, promoting bone health, preventing falls and fractures, and supporting overall well-being. However, the significance of vitamin D extends far beyond bone health, with research linking it to various conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cancer, autoimmune and infectious diseases, among others.

25-Vitamin D deficiency has risen significantly in recent times and is higher in certain populations and is associated with increased mortality rates, infections, and a range of diseases.

Mounting evidence suggests that vitamin D deficiency may be linked to chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. We explore the findings of a study that analyzed vitamin D levels in the US population, revealing a high prevalence of deficiency, particularly among minority groups. These findings underline the importance of maintaining healthy vitamin D levels.

The episode emphasizes the significance of sunlight exposure in vitamin D synthesis, noting that about 50% to 90% of vitamin D is absorbed through the skin via sunlight. However, several factors, including season, time of day, latitude, altitude, air pollution, and skin pigmentation, influence sun-induced vitamin D synthesis. We address the need for sensible sun exposure recommendations, advocating for approximately 20 minutes of daily sunshine with over 40% of the skin exposed.

Dr Meaghan also explores recent research from the University of South Australia, which establishes a strong association between vitamin D deficiency and premature death and that WHO states that 340,000 Americans die each year due to not enough sun exposure.

Join us in this episode of Beyond the Basics Health Academy to gain valuable insights into the vital role of vitamin D and the importance of embracing sunlight exposure for overall health and well-being.

Today on Beyond the Basics Health Academy, Dr. Meaghan sits down with Michael Rubino to talk about mold, mold toxicity, and home remediation.

Michael Rubino has become an expert on mold and home remediation. From his work, he has found that many times builders and contractors don't know how to tackle mold correctly. To educate those who are suffering, Rubino wrote the book Mold Medic. In detail, Rubino advises readers on how to choose a mold remediation company and the exact processes that companies should be using. He also explains how to recover from mold-related illnesses. His message is perfect for those interested in achieving and maintaining robust health.

Rubino’s focus is not just on removing cosmetic damage resulting from mold. It’s on removing all traces of mold, the spores they leave behind and the toxins produced by the mold. He’s discovered that a person suffering from hypersensitivity to mold needs all three types of decontamination to regain their health.

In one home or business after another where mold was supposedly eliminated, Rubino found the cause of continuing mold-related illness: conventional mold remediators are only doing part of the job. He intends to correct this situation.

Rubino and his company - All American Restoration - have been featured in USA Today, NJBiz, Reader’s Digest, New Jersey Monthly, and Digital Trends. He was also selected as a speaker for the Spring 2020 Indoor Air Quality Association Meeting and Expo.

Rubino received a Bachelor of Science degree in 2008 and is a council-certified microbial remediator from the American Council for Accredited Certification and a New York State Department of Labor Remediation Contractor. He has spent the past seven years involved in construction and remediating mold contamination. 

Thanks so much, Michael, for coming on the show to tackles these and many more topics during our discussion about mold and mycotoxins.

Dr. Meaghan sits down to talk with Dr. Bill Rawls to discuss not only Dr. Rawls' personal journey with chronic Lyme Disease but also how to take a comprehensive approach to chronic disease.

Bill Rawls is an OB-GYN and leading expert in Lyme disease, integrative health, and herbal medicine. In the middle of his successful medical career, Dr. Rawls’ life was interrupted by Lyme disease. As he struggled to overcome it, he explored nearly every treatment possible – from conventional medicine to a range of alternative therapies. In the process, Dr. Rawls discovered a dearth of knowledge about Lyme disease in the medical community and a shocking amount of controversy and confusion around causes, diagnosis, and treatment that left thousands of patients confused, unsupported, and chronically ill.

An avid reader and lifelong student, Dr. Rawls studied all of the research available on Lyme disease and put everything he learned into practice in his own life. Ultimately, it was a combination of diet, lifestyle, and herbal therapy that resulted in his recovery.

More than 10 years later, Dr. Rawls has helped thousands of patients find their path to healing from Lyme disease and chronic illness. He is the author of the best-selling book, Unlocking Lyme, and the Medical Director of RawlsMD.com and Vital Plan, an online holistic health company and Certified B Corporation®.

Thanks so much, Dr. Rawls for coming on the show and all the amazing work that you do to educate others about Chronic Lyme Disease.

In this episode of BTBHA, Dr. Meaghan talks to Dr. Eric Balcalvage and Dr. Kelly Halderman about their new book "The Thyroid Debacle".  
 
According to the American Thyroid Association, an estimated 20 million Americans have some form of thyroid disease, which causes symptoms such as extreme fatigue, depression, forgetfulness, weight gain, and hair loss. If thyroid conditions go undiagnosed, those patients - the vast majority of them women - may be at risk for cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and infertility. Unfortunately, conventional Western medicine views thyroid conditions as solely a glandular problem, and doctors are taught to employ a simplistic model of testing TSH and T4 to evaluate patients’ thyroid health. By the time a true glandular disorder presents itself, many prior opportunities to address the condition have been missed.

In The Thyroid Debacle, Eric Balcavage, DC, and Kelly Halderman, MD, explore thyroid disorders from a functional medicine perspective, looking to create a paradigm shift in how doctors and patients understand and approach thyroid physiology. They argue that hypothyroidism is more commonly a systemic cellular event and not a localized glandular problem, as is often presumed, and that the key is to look at root causes rather than attempt to mask symptoms with pills.

Evaluating the activators of cellular hypothyroidism requires an exploration into the various factors that contribute to the cell danger response - an evolutionary mechanism by which cells and organisms attempt to protect themselves from harm triggered by chemical, physical, or biological threats - as well as tools to reverse it.
 
In this book, you will learn:
  • what causes hypothyroid symptoms and thyroid gland dysfunction
  • why your doctors are failing you with an outdated model of treating thyroid dysfunction
  • what common factors contribute to cellular hypothyroidism, including physical, chemical, emotional, and microbial stressors
  • how to overcome chronic hypothyroid symptoms
This revolutionary new approach will help those affected by thyroid disorders make informed decisions with their doctor and take back control of their health.
