I am excited to have Dr. Yvonne Karney with me for a two-part series focused on breast imaging options and the importance of informed consent. In Part 1 today, we discuss the limitations of current breast screening options and how to protect yourself if you choose to get mammograms or MRIs. We also introduce you to QT Imaging, which is the future of breast imaging. Benefits of early detection: It allows for procedures like lumpectomy instead of extensive surgery Early-stage cancers often require less chemotherapy or radiation Detecting cancer early generally improves the chance of recovery and survival Smaller interventions preserve appearance and more tissue Early treatment can be quicker, simpler, and less traumatic Yvonne Karney's Bio: Yvonne Karney is a medical doctor, traditionally trained in gynecology, and a former United States Air Force physician, who converted to integrative medicine when she realized she didn't have the right tools to help her patients achieve true health. She is the founder of Vitality Renewal Functional Medicine in the Chicago suburbs, where her newest venture is to revolutionize breast imaging by offering an option that has the image quality of MRI WITHOUT radiation, IV contrast, or painful compression. She's on a mission to give women options for breast imaging and educate them about the risks and benefits of the current breast cancer screening recommendations. In this episode: How mammograms are pushed without real informed choice The value of early detection How false positives tend to fuel fear and lead to extra procedures Risks that come with breast compression and radiation How overdiagnosis leads to overtreatment The problems associated with MRIs How true 3D imaging could change the future of breast screening Links and Resources: Guest Social Media Links: Vitality Renewal Breast Imaging Yvonne Karney on YouTube Yvonne Karney on Instagram Vitality Renewal Functional Medicine Relative Links for This Show: Try Halo (Salt) Therapy for respiratory and skin health.

Today, Dr. Kara Fitzgerald joins me to talk about DNA Methylation. Life expectancy in the United States is on the decline. We are living for a shorter time and according to the World Health Organization, even though we have a life expectancy of 79.3 years, the average age for developing a serious illness is 63.1 years old. That means that we spend the last 16.2 years of our life ill. Aging is driven by DNA methylation, a process that influences which genes are turned on and which are turned off. We use DNA methylation as an epigenetic clock to measure biological age. DNA methylation changes as we age, to our detriment, and it’s not just a surrogate marker of aging. DNA methylation appears to drive aging itself. Foods that could lower your biological age: Liver [or liver capsules] Eggs Mushrooms [shitake or enoki] Leafy greens Pumpkin seeds Blueberries Turmeric Dr. Kara Fitzgerald Bio: Kara Fitzgerald, ND, IFMCP, is engaged in clinical research on DNA methylation using a diet and lifestyle intervention developed in her virtual and in-person Functional Medicine clinic. She is the author of Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better, a ground-breaking work detailing an 8-week study that resulted in a 3-year reversal of biological aging, and the step-by-step program that will help you live better and longer. In her quest for personalized health care for all, she leads clients through her Younger You Program and has as a Younger You companion cookbook, Better Broths, and Healing Tonics. Dr. Fitzgerald is on faculty at the Institute for Functional Medicine [IFM] and is an IFM Certified Practitioner. She regularly lectures internationally and hosts the podcast New Frontiers in Functional Medicine. She received her doctorate in naturopathic medicine from the National University of Natural Medicine in Oregon and is in private practice in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. In this episode: How cancer hijacks our epigenetics. [4:25] Dr. Fitzgerald defines methylation and explains how it differs from DNA methylation. [9:05] Foods that are important to improve methylation. [15:45] Foods that seem to direct epigenetic traffic. [17:39] Lifestyle pieces that could favorably influence DNA methylation in addition to the diet. [19:33] Foods that could lower your biological age. [25:46] Studies show that people who drink coffee live longer. [27:44] How to exercise to help prevent aging. [30:32] Foods to avoid that could be pro-aging. [33:13] Supplements that are recommended for anti-aging. [40:10] A backdoor approach for those who do not tolerate supplements well.

Welcome to part two of my interview with Dr. Terry Wahls. We continue discussing some of Dr. Wahls’ recommendations for healthy living. In many ways, a health journey is a hero’s journey. It involves a separation from a conventional approach to disease in which you learn important lessons before successfully re-engaging in the struggle. Dr. Wahls practices the same advice she preaches. That sometimes means packing a cabbage in her carry-on luggage. Of course, not everyone can follow the Wahls Protocol to the letter. Dr. Wahls shares how people can adapt her protocol to conform to various dietary and lifestyle restrictions. That way, it’s possible to eat a paleo diet as well as a vegetarian one. A large part of Dr. Wahls’ protocol centers on ketogenic eating. There is a growing body of evidence that this type of diet has huge benefits. This includes mental and neurological health and it helps those with insulin resistance. But, there are risks associated with it, such as high cholesterol. Dr. Wahls provides some great advice for adapting the diet to suit anyone’s particular needs. Dr. Wahls shares some of her favorite meals that you can prepare at home. Just because chicken liver is the main ingredient, doesn’t mean your dinner shouldn’t taste great. These are wonderful delicious meals that are easy to make and will help keep you healthy. Are you eating a ketogenic diet? Tell me how it’s going in the comments on the episode page! My Your Longevity Blueprint course is currently 50% off to celebrate the launch of the podcast PLUS I'm throwing in a free personalized consultation! In this episode Why you are the hero in the story of your health Recognizing what pain is telling you about your current health The potential benefits and risks of a ketogenic diet The connection between functional medicine, ancestral health, and evolutionary biology Some of Dr. Wahls’ favorite healthy recipes Staying safe while taking immunosuppressant drugs Adapting the protocol to a child’s diet Links & Resources: Use code COQ10 to get 10% off COQ10 Use code ENERGY to get 10% off MITOCHONDRIAL COMPLEX Sinus Support Use code GLUTATHIONE to get 10% off GLUTATHIONE Multiple Sclerosis and NeuroImmune Summit 2.0: Learn more here Follow Dr. Terry Wahls online Follow Dr. Wahls on Facebook | Pinterest | Twitter | YouTube The Wahls Protocol The Wahls Protocol Cooking for Life Linus Pauling Institute Get your copy of the Your Longevity Blueprint book and claim your bonuses here Find Dr. Stephanie Gray and Your Longevity Blueprint online Follow Dr. Stephanie Gray on Facebook | Instagram | Youtube | Twitter | LinkedIn Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic Podcast Production by the team at Counterweight Creative
Chronic disease can have a devastating impact on your life. It can be all too easy to give up and accept the new normal, but there are often ways to regain control. Dr. Terry Wahls not only found a way to slow the progression of her own disease, but she also developed a protocol to help others do the same. Dr. Wahls is recognized worldwide for her protocol which is transforming the lives of countless people. She is a clinical professor at the University of Iowa. Dr. Wahls conducts clinical trials into the efficacy of therapeutic lifestyle to treat multiple sclerosis-related symptoms. She is the author of The Wahls Protocol as well as her revolutionary cookbook. In part one of our conversation, Dr. Wahls shares the specifics of her protocol. Before her diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, Dr. Wahls was an incredibly active woman. After seeking out various aggressive treatments for her condition, Dr. Wahls realized that it was up to her to take control of her health. Dr. Wahls came to realize that redesigning a paleo-diet to focus on the right nutrients could make a difference. Within months, she experienced massive improvements and is as active as ever. A key part of her recovery centers on feeding the mitochondria. With her redesigned diet, Dr. Wahls is able to better make use of the nutritional compounds that would otherwise be in supplements. Eating lots of green leafy, colorful, and sulfur-rich vegetables is a key part of this. Likewise, there are foods to avoid, particularly gluten and casein. Changing your habits and diet is easier said than done. Most practitioners know the struggle of patient compliance. Dr. Wahls shares some great advice for helping to motivate patients so that they can better take ownership of their health. Have you changed your diet in response to chronic disease?

Welcome to today’s special episode, where two of my patients share their powerful fertility success stories. They open up about their struggles, the turning points in their journeys, and how functional medicine played a pivotal role in their healing. After the interviews, I share exciting news about my upcoming book and offer a glimpse into its heartfelt foreword. Thank you for being part of this community—it’s an honor to share these vulnerable, transformative stories with you. Remember, wellness is waiting, and so is your family. 10 Tips for a Successful Fertility Journey: Pay attention to subtle symptoms—they may signal deeper issues. Be your own advocate—don’t settle for quick fixes without answers. PCOS is not a dead end; healing is possible. Get comprehensive testing: hormones, nutrients, sensitivities, and more. Address emotional wounds—they matter more than you think. Use functional medicine to uncover root causes. Detox through herbs, sauna, movement, and supportive supplements. Exercise helps balance hormones and process emotional stress. Be persistent—healing takes time, faith, and the right support. Start sooner—early action leads to better outcomes. Amanda Allen is a wife, mom of three, and business owner in Jupiter, Florida. After battling hidden mold toxicity and enduring years of infertility, she discovered the power of functional medicine and restored her health—ultimately conceiving naturally. Her story is one of patience, perseverance, and healing through faith and functional care. Katie Hill is a passionate wellness advocate. She grew up sensitive to foods and spent years battling hormonal imbalances. After gaining 100 pounds on birth control and losing her cycle, she turned to functional medicine. With testing, dietary changes, and emotional healing, Katie reclaimed her health and now thrives as a mom. In this episode: Amanda’s mold detox journey and emotional perseverance. Katie’s shift from prescriptions to functional care and lifestyle changes. The role of emotional healing in restoring ovarian health. The power of functional medicine as a blueprint for fertility. Insights from Amanda and Katie on patience, faith, and healing. The foreword to my next book: This book exists because of grace, love, and the unwavering support of people who believed in our dream when we could barely hold onto it ourselves. First and foremost, I thank God for the knowledge wisdom, and calling He's placed on my life to serve my patients and help families grow. Every insight in these pages, every breakthrough and understanding, every moment of clarity that led to healing, all of it flows from His infinite wisdom. I'm simply a vessel honored to be used in his plan to bring hope and health to those who desperately need it, to my parents and their incredible network of prayer warriors who faithfully lifted Eric and me up, through every month, every disappointment, every procedure and every glimmer of hope during our decade long fertility journey. Your prayer sustained us when our own faith wavered. You believed for us when we couldn't believe for ourselves. You held our dream in your hearts and carried it to the throne of grace again and again. And I know beyond any doubt that your intercession played a vital role in bringing William and Michael into our lives. To my husband, Eric, my partner in every sense of the word, you stood by my side through 10 years of fertility struggles with the strength and faith that humbled me daily while I was consumed with treatments and protocols. You managed our business, supported our patients, and held our family together when I wanted to give up. You reminded me that God had children for us. When I felt broken, you saw me as whole. This journey tested us in ways we have never imagined, but it also showed me what true partnership looks like. I could not have walked this path with anyone else. To my incredible team at the integrative health and hormone clinic, you're the heartbeat of everything we do during the countless appointments, procedures, and recovery periods, when I needed to step away. You kept our mission alive. You cared for our patients with the same dedication and compassion I would have given them myself. You believed in our functional medicine approach even when others questioned it, and you celebrated every patient's success as if it were your own. This work isn't possible without each of you. Ultimately, I wrote this book for my two miracle sons, William and Michael. One day when you're old enough to understand, I want you to know the journey that brought you here, not because it was easy, but because it was worth every single struggle. I want you to know that you were prayed for, hoped for, and fought for long before you drew your first breath. And I want you to understand that sometimes the most precious gifts come wrapped in the longest waits. I also wrote this book for every couple who is walking the path Eric and I walked feeling alone, confused, and wondering if their dreams will ever become reality. I wrote it for the woman lying awake at 3 am googling unexplained infertility for the 100th time. I wrote it for the man watching his wife's heartbreak month after month, feeling helpless to fix it. I wrote it for the couple sitting in fertility clinics in the waiting rooms, wondering if there's another way. My deepest prayer is that this book will shorten your journey, that the knowledge that took me years to piece together will be available to you from day one, and that you won't have to spend a decade searching for answers that could be found in months with the right approach. If this blueprint helps even one couple avoid the pain of unexplained infertility, if it guides even one person to discover their missing piece of the fertility puzzle, if it offers even one family hope when they're ready to give up, then every moment of our struggle will have served a greater purpose than ourselves. May God bless your journey, strengthen your faith, and fulfill the desires of your heart with endless hope and gratitude.
