The School of Doza Podcast

Discover which morning vitamins maximize your energy and which ones sabotage your sleep. Learn the optimal timing for vitamin D3, B vitamins, NAD+, resveratrol, and magnesium threonate to support your body's natural rhythms. This episode reveals how strategic supplement timing can transform your daily performance and overall health without relying on coffee. (497 characters) 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Vitamin D3 is essential for morning routines – Taking 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 with K2 first thing in the morning boosts immune function and mood by mimicking natural sunlight exposure when your body needs it most. B vitamins power daytime energy production – B12, B9 (folate), B6, and B5 are water-soluble vitamins that support cellular energy, focus, and neurotransmitter production throughout the day without causing afternoon crashes like caffeine. NAD+ injections provide immediate cellular energy – This molecule naturally declines with age but can be replenished through injections that deliver hours or even days of sustained energy, making it particularly beneficial for menopausal women and anyone experiencing fatigue. Resveratrol supports mitochondrial function – This powerful antioxidant enhances energy production at the cellular level, supports cardiovascular health, and helps regulate blood sugar when taken during active daylight hours. Magnesium threonate protects brain function – Unlike other forms of magnesium, threonate crosses the blood-brain barrier to reduce neuroinflammation, enhance focus, and support cognitive performance throughout your demanding day.

Learn how to restore your adrenal function and reclaim your energy with this comprehensive 90-day reset plan. Nurse Doza maps out a practical approach to reversing adrenal fatigue through measurable testing (DHEAS and HRV), lifestyle modifications including belly breathing and sunlight exposure, and targeted supplementation to support your body's stress response and energy production. Character count: 394 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Measure Your Adrenal Function: DHEAS blood testing (optimal range: 200-250) provides a stable measurement of adrenal function over time without daily variation, while Heart Rate Variability (HRV) tracks your recent stress response and nervous system health in real-time. Activate Rest and Digest Mode: Belly breathing (diaphragmatic breathing) actively shifts your nervous system from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest mode by increasing parasympathetic activity, lowering cortisol levels, and improving HRV with just 4-7 minutes daily. Morning Sunlight Resets Your System: Getting sunlight within the first hour of waking naturally boosts cortisol production, increases serotonin synthesis, provides vitamin D, and sets your circadian rhythm for better sleep—aim for 30-45 minutes of direct sunlight without sunglasses. Support with Targeted Nutrition: Bovine adrenal gland extracts provide building blocks for your own adrenal glands to resume normal function, a practice used successfully since the early 1900s, while B vitamins (especially B5 and B6) help regulate cortisol production and support energy metabolism. Address Underlying Trauma: Unresolved trauma from childhood or adulthood chronically activates your stress response and suppresses adrenal function—addressing it through therapies like CBT, EMDR, or somatic experiencing is essential for long-term adrenal recovery and nervous system regulation. FEATURED PRODUCT Zen – featuring bovine adrenal gland extracts, is designed to support adrenal function and help regulate cortisol production—key factors in restoring energy and recovering from burnout as discussed in this episode. The bovine adrenal gland provides the building blocks for your own adrenal glands to resume normal function, while B vitamins (especially B5 and B6) support healthy stress response. Zen is the gentle, targeted support your adrenals need during this 90-day reset.

Common medications like Tylenol, statins, and diabetes drugs quietly deplete essential nutrients and stress your liver. Learn which five medications cause nutritional deficiencies, what nutrients they deplete, and actionable steps to restore balance while protecting your liver health through targeted supplementation and lifestyle changes. FEATURED SUPPLEMENT Liver Boost – Every medication you take passes through and stresses your liver, depleting essential nutrients like glutathione, CoQ10, and B vitamins. Liver Boost is specifically formulated to support your liver's detoxification pathways and help regenerate liver function.  Learn more: https://mswnutrition.com/products/liver-boost 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Acetaminophen Destroys Glutathione – Every dose of Tylenol depletes your liver's master antioxidant (glutathione), reducing your body's ability to detoxify and fight inflammation, which can lead to liver toxicity with long-term use. Statins Lower CoQ10 Levels – Cholesterol medications deplete CoQ10, a critical nutrient for heart and liver function that supports mitochondrial energy production. Anyone on statins should supplement with CoQ10 to prevent deficiency. Metformin Causes B12 Deficiency – This common diabetes medication depletes vitamin B12, leading to fatigue, nerve damage, and digestive issues. Long-term metformin users need regular B12 monitoring and supplementation. Birth Control Depletes Multiple Nutrients – Oral contraceptives reduce B6, B9 (folate), and magnesium levels, affecting liver function, hormone regulation, and overall health, especially problematic for women on long-term birth control. PPIs Create Dangerous Deficiencies – Acid-reducing medications like Nexium deplete B12, magnesium, and zinc, impairing digestion, liver health, and nutrient absorption, creating a vicious cycle of deficiency. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – START – Welcome and episode overview 02:15 – Understanding how medications affect your liver 04:30 – Acetaminophen depletes glutathione and damages liver function 08:45 – Why glutathione is the master antioxidant your body needs 12:20 – NAC supplementation and liver regeneration strategies 16:40 – Statins lower CoQ10 and impact mitochondrial energy production 21:10 – Metformin causes B12 deficiency in diabetic patients 25:30 – How vitamin B12 supports energy, nerves, and digestion 28:45 – Birth control pills deplete B6, B9, and magnesium 32:20 – Estrogen regulation and liver health connection 35:50 – PPIs and antacids cause multiple nutrient deficiencies 39:15 – FDA warning about magnesium depletion from long-term PPI use 42:30 – Action steps for protecting your liver while on medications 45:00 – Supplementation recommendations and lab testing guidance RESOURCES PubMed – Research database for glutathione, medication-induced nutrient depletion, and liver function studies: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ Book a Consultation with Nurse Doza – Schedule your personalized medication and liver health consultation: https://www.nursedoza.com/ MSW Nutrition Liver Boost – Targeted liver support supplement: https://mswnutrition.com/products/liver-boost MSW Nutrition Boost – Daily vitamin supplement with B12, B6, B9, and magnesium: https://www.mswnutrition.com/products/boost MSW Nutrition NAC Plus – N-Acetylcysteine supplement for glutathione production: https://www.mswnutrition.com/products/nac-plus Free Liver Detox Course – Available at School of Doza website CONNECT 🔗 Connect with Nurse Doza: JOIN MY SCHOOL for $5: community.schoolofdoza.com/signup YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwcKyagDi468WscAOWM5VHA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nursedoza/ Website: http://www.nursedoza.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-mendoza-dc-aprn-np-c-0609a038/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nursedoza Twitter: https://twitter.com/nursedoza

Berberine and Liver Boost – Fibromyalgia is driven by chronic inflammation, and your liver is key to managing your body's inflammatory response. As you eliminate trigger foods discussed in this episode, Berberine and Liver Boost supports liver detoxification, helps regulate blood sugar, and reduces inflammation—essential for managing fibromyalgia symptoms. This promotion ends tomorrow! Get yours at https://berberineandliverboost.mswnutrition.com/  EPISODE SUMMARY Struggling with fibromyalgia? What you eat matters. In this episode, Nurse Doza reveals five common trigger foods that worsen fibromyalgia symptoms including chronic pain, fatigue, and brain fog. Learn why processed sugars, dairy, refined oils, nightshade vegetables, and legumes create inflammation in your nervous system, and discover healthier alternatives that support your body instead of harming it. Transform your fibromyalgia management through dietary changes. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Processed Sugar and Carbs Fuel Inflammation – MSG and aspartame found in processed foods directly trigger fibromyalgia flare-ups by increasing nervous system inflammation. Swap these for whole fruits, sweet potatoes, and raw cane sugar with cinnamon. Dairy Creates Digestive Inflammation – Casein in dairy products causes gut inflammation that worsens fibromyalgia symptoms. Replace with coconut milk, almond milk, and ghee as healthier alternatives. Refined Vegetable Oils Are Hidden Inflammatory Triggers – Canola, soybean, and corn oils are highly inflammatory. Switch to avocado oil, olive oil, and grass-fed butter for cooking and dressing. Nightshade Vegetables Contain Harmful Lectins – Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and mushrooms have anti-nutrients that damage your digestive tract and block mineral absorption. Choose cruciferous vegetables like broccoli instead. Legumes May Worsen Gut Health – Beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peanuts contain lectins that create digestive inflammation and gas. If you can't eliminate them, soak or boil them to reduce lectin content, or choose sauerkraut for fiber. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – START 02:30 – Understanding fibromyalgia as nervous system inflammation 04:15 – Food #1: Processed sugar, carbs, MSG, and aspartame 08:45 – Healthier sweet alternatives: fruits, dates, coconut, cinnamon 10:30 – Food #2: Dairy products and casein inflammation 13:20 – Dairy alternatives: coconut milk, almond milk, ghee 15:00 – Food #3: Refined vegetable oils and omega-6 fatty acids 17:45 – Better oil options: avocado, olive, grass-fed butter 19:30 – Food #4: Nightshade vegetables and lectins explained 22:15 – Nightshade alternatives: broccoli and cruciferous vegetables 23:45 – Food #5: Legumes, beans, and digestive inflammation 26:00 – Supplement recommendations: NAC+, gut powder, vitamin D, Zen 27:30 – Final thoughts and booking consultations   Nurse Doza Clinic – Schedule a consultation for fibromyalgia support: https://www.nursedoza.com/ MSW Nutrition Supplements – NAC+, Gut Powder, Vitamin D, and Zen: https://www.mswnutrition.com/ Berberine and Liver Boost – Featured product promotion: https://berberineandliverboost.mswnutrition.com/

Kim shares her journey from narcissistic abuse to healing through plant medicine and radical self-discovery. After escaping a controlling marriage that stripped away her identity, Kim found restoration through ketamine, ayahuasca, and psilocybin therapies. She also discovered her ruptured breast implants were contributing to systemic inflammation, leading to their removal and a profound shift in her relationship with self-image and authenticity. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Narcissistic abuse is about control, not ego - True narcissism is a personality disorder where abusers systematically isolate victims from support systems, control finances, and erode self-worth through manipulation and gaslighting. Plant medicine can reset the nervous system - Kim's PTSD and trauma were effectively treated through ketamine (for depression), ayahuasca (for self-love and inner child healing), and psilocybin (for complete PTSD resolution). Physical and mental trauma are interconnected - Kim's ruptured breast implants went undetected for years, contributing to systemic inflammation that mirrored her emotional state during trauma. Healing requires integration work - While plant medicine provided breakthroughs, lasting healing came from daily practices: journaling, meditation, exercise, and surrounding herself with authentic relationships. Rock bottom can be a foundation for transformation - Losing everything—money, possessions, identity—forced Kim to rebuild authentically, leading to deeper fulfillment than her previous "perfect" life ever provided. FEATURED PRODUCT Bliss - Kim's journey highlights how trauma creates chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation. Bliss supports adrenal function and helps regulate cortisol levels—essential for recovering from trauma and managing the daily stress of healing work discussed in this episode.

With humor, personal stories, and deep insight into the healing process, Dr. Munro explains how true healing starts from the bottom up—beginning with foundational health needs like sleep, community, and food—and how to evaluate whether your treatments are building health or just managing symptoms. This is more than a conversation—it’s a guide to becoming your own best advocate. ⸻ 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS • The Therapeutic Order Is a Map for Healing It’s not just about avoiding medications—it’s about starting from the foundation (sleep, food, environment, relationships) and building upward before jumping to advanced interventions. • Community and Relationships Are Foundational Health Inputs Research shows that love and connection can impact lifespan and inflammation just as much as diet and supplements. • Symptoms Are Messages—Not Enemies Rather than suppress symptoms with quick fixes, the Therapeutic Order teaches us to work backward and ask: “What is this symptom trying to tell me?” • You Don’t Have to Diagnose to Start Healing Even without a label, starting at the bottom of the Therapeutic Order—nutrition, sleep, hydration—can move the needle more than most realize. • Becoming Your Own Advocate Means Asking Better Questions If your doctor says “everything looks fine,” but you don’t feel fine, that’s your cue to seek support elsewhere and trust your body’s signals. ⸻ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro and catching up with Dr. Munro 06:00 What is the Naturopathic Therapeutic Order? 08:00 How trauma, environment, and community shape health outcomes 11:30 Why magnesium, sleep, and brain health matter more than we think 16:30 Dr. Munro’s personal healing story: ulcers, antibiotics, asthma, and a turning point 24:00 Discovering naturopathic medicine and changing his own health trajectory 28:00 The role of mindset, skepticism, and open-mindedness in healing 30:00 How to apply the Therapeutic Order in real life (even in a 10-minute doctor visit) 33:30 How to evaluate your practitioner or treatment plan 36:00 Becoming your own health advocate—without needing to be a doctor 39:00 Inflammation, pain, and what actually helps 43:00 Why sleep is the most anti-inflammatory treatment you’re probably ignoring 48:00 The liver-brain connection and how we actually heal 51:00 Cholesterol myths, statins, and what labs really matter 54:00 Carnivore diets, autoimmune disease, and the dangers of hype 57:00 Gut health: why the brain might be the real starting point 59:00 What to look for in a probiotic label (most people miss this!) 01:01:00 Final thoughts on pharmaceuticals, functional medicine, and hope 01:03:00 Rapid fire: favorite books, influencers, and top brain health tools ⸻ RESOURCES MENTIONED  • Dr. James Munro’s Website & Consults – https://www.drjamesmunro.com  • Instagram: @drjamesmunro  • The Naturopathic Therapeutic Order – AANP Overview  • Xymogen OptiMag Neuro – Magnesium L-Threonate blend for brain health  • ProbioMax Daily by Xymogen – Researched probiotic strains  • Sulforaphane & OncoPLEX Plus Myrosinase – Broccoli extract for brain/liver antioxidant support  • Dr. David Perlmutter’s Book – Drop Acid  • Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Will Cole – Functional medicine leaders ⸻ Want to Go Deeper?

Discover five essential daily strategies—backed by research—that can protect brain health, sharpen focus, and reduce your risk of cognitive decline starting now.   5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Exercise is non-negotiable – Just two minutes of daily movement can stimulate brain-derived neurotrophic factors and lower dementia risk. Sleep is where your brain detoxes – Deep sleep activates the glymphatic system and releases melatonin to remove toxins and boost memory. Detoxification is brain protection – Oxidative stress is a silent driver of brain aging, and detox pathways must stay active to prevent neurodegeneration. Sunlight sets your brain’s rhythm – Morning sunlight boosts serotonin and helps you make more melatonin at night, improving sleep and brain repair. Supplements support the system – Nutrients like selenium, NAC, curcumin, and pterostilbene activate key detox pathways (like Nrf2) and protect against inflammation.   FEATURED PRODUCT Bliss, packed with adaptogenic herbs and nervine botanicals, helps ease mental tension and supports a calm, clear mind—ideal for supporting brain performance, relaxation, and emotional balance as discussed in this episode’s brain-saving strategy. 👉 Bliss by MSW Nutrition   TIMESTAMPS 00:00 START – Welcome & what today’s episode covers 06:00 – Why brain protection matters more than ever 07:00 – Dementia stats and the case for prevention 08:30 – Step 1: Exercise as brain medicine 11:00 – What Rhonda Patrick taught about “exercise snacks” 13:00 – Body squats + blood sugar + brain repair 14:30 – Physical activity and DNA repair 15:30 – How much exercise you actually need 16:00 – Step 2: Why sleep is essential to brain function 18:00 – Sleep = memory support + brain detox 19:00 – Deep sleep and the glymphatic system 21:00 – Melatonin’s role in detox and protection 23:00 – How sleep loss raises disease risk 25:00 – What oxidative stress does to brain tissue 26:00 – The sleep-deprivation cycle starts young 27:00 – Step 3: Morning sunlight and melatonin connection 28:30 – Sunlight triggers nighttime brain repair 30:00 – Combining exercise + sunlight for max benefit 31:00 – The pineal gland, crystals, and higher awareness 32:00 – Step 4: The best supplements to protect the brain 33:00 – Selenium, NAC, and glutathione explained 35:00 – The power of Nrf2 and why it declines with age 36:00 – Curcumin and pterostilbene as detox activators 38:00 – Glucoraphanin, sulforaphane & microplastic detox 39:00 – Liver Boost ingredients double as brain protectors 40:30 – Final recap: the 5-part plan to save your brain   RESOURCES Why Your Brain Needs Exercise – https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-your-brain-needs-exercise/ Effects of Physical Exercise on Cognitive Functioning and Wellbeing – https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5934999/ The Role of Sleep in Brain Health – https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/STR.0000000000000453 Oxidative Stress in Neurological Disease – https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7582347/ Sunlight and Serotonin-Melatonin Link – https://www.pbsnc.org/blogs/science/sunlight-happiness-link/ Nrf2 Pathway and Brain Health – https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8746812/   🔗 Connect with Nurse Doza: JOIN MY SCHOOL for $5: https://community.schoolofdoza.com/signup • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwcKyagDi468WscAOWM5VHA • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nursedoza/ • Website: http://www.nursedoza.com/ • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathan-mendoza-dc-aprn-np-c-0609a038/ • TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nursedoza • Twitter: https://twitter.com/nursedoza

From the massive gender gaps in clinical research to the misunderstood role of hormonal rhythms, this talk challenges nearly every conventional health assumption about women’s physiology. You’ll learn how the female biological rhythm affects everything from metabolism to cognition—and why the missing link in women’s health isn’t just about hormones, but about data, design, and decades of neglect.     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   • The Research Gap Is Real—and Deep Women were banned from clinical research until 1993, and even today remain underrepresented, especially in areas like drug trials, cardiovascular studies, and brain health.   • Bikini Medicine Isn’t Enough Most “women’s health” research still focuses narrowly on reproductive organs, ignoring how sex hormones impact the brain, immune system, metabolism, and more.   • The Female Biological Rhythm Is NOT 24 Hours Unlike men, women operate on a ~28-day hormonal rhythm—shifting cognition, metabolism, stress response, and energy throughout four distinct phases.   • Health Advice That Ignores Hormones Can Be Harmful Popular trends like intermittent fasting or high-intensity training may work well for men but can backfire for women if not timed to their hormonal cycle.   • Personalized, Phase-Based Health Is the Future Tracking one’s own biological rhythm and learning phase-specific strategies for supplements, sleep, nutrition, and stress is the most empowering step women can take now.       Want to Learn How to Support Women’s Health Holistically?

Learn how endo connects to hormones, genes like MTHFR, and what supplements can actually help reduce pain and inflammation.   5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Endometriosis is estrogen-dependent: High local estrogen production and poor estrogen clearance play major roles in the growth of endometriotic tissue. Your liver regulates estrogen: Supporting liver detoxification helps prevent estrogen buildup and lowers endo risk. Gut health influences estrogen metabolism: Dysbiosis and constipation can lead to estrogen reabsorption and inflammatory flare-ups. Supplements make a difference: NAC, alpha lipoic acid, curcumin, and omega-3s have been shown to reduce inflammation and endo symptoms. Stress fuels endo: Elevated cortisol disrupts hormone balance and can trigger or worsen endometriosis.   FEATURED PRODUCT NAC Plus + Liver Boost + Chill + Zen by MSW Nutrition This powerhouse combo targets the root causes of endometriosis—estrogen imbalance, inflammation, liver overload, and stress. NAC Plus includes both NAC and alpha lipoic acid to support liver detox and reduce oxidative stress. Liver Boost aids estrogen regulation and bile flow, while Chill and Zen provide adrenal support to help manage cortisol and chronic stress.
