Sarah introduces an Evolving Wellness episode on estrogen clearance, perimenopause/menopause, and why estrogen therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, then interviews John and David from Mera Labs, whose work on sulforaphane began after both of their wives faced breast cancer. They explain how sulforaphane activates NRF2, supporting phase 2/3 detoxification, antioxidant responses, mitochondrial function, and mitophagy, and discuss circadian oscillations of NRF2. Sarah shares her experience of heavy bleeding, PMS, and low ferritin improving after several cycles on their product, with benefits also noted for her autistic teen. The guests differentiate stabilized sulforaphane from glucoraphanin products, describe synergy from added PEITC, discuss dosing timing, toxins/microplastics and endocrine disruptors, DIM questions, stress and vagal regulation, and note a rare microbiome-driven estrogen recycling condition linked to galactorrhea — Connect with John and David https://mara-labs.com/ https://www.instagram.com/themaralabs/ For the next week, Evolving Wellness loyal listeners can get an exclusive 25% off all Mara Labs products when you go to www.mara-labs.com/SARAHK and use code SARAHK at checkout.

On the Evolving Wellness podcast, host Sarah interviews returning guest Dr. Anthony Jay (PhD biochemistry; former Mayo Clinic researcher) about his book Sugar Beat: How Sugar, Not Cholesterol, Destroys Arteries and his broader critique of mainstream cardiology. Jay cites a 28,000-person study where insulin resistance had the highest heart-attack hazard ratio (6.4) versus hypertension (2.2), triglycerides (2.1), and LDL (1.38), arguing doctors overemphasize cholesterol while neglecting insulin and HOMA-IR. He claims statins increase arterial calcification and diabetes risk, criticizes organizations like the American Heart Association, and disputes fears around LDL, ApoB, and Lp(a), describing them as fat-transport/oxidation-related. Jay recommends focusing on metabolic health, diet and fasting to promote fat burning and plaque reversal, cautions about processed foods and mislabeled oils, discusses CAC vs CCTA imaging variability, and notes genetic nuances such as iron-related risk and sitosterolemia. — Connect with Dr. Anthony Jay website - https://www.ajconsultingcompany.com/ YT - https://www.youtube.com/@dranthonyjay Books: Sugar Beat - https://amzlink.to/az0hIdy8AMV03 Estrogeneration: https://amzlink.to/az0U0rLUAUr8f _________ Sponsored By: → Bon Charge | Go to https://boncharge.com/products/demi-red-light-device?rfsn=8108115.26608d & use code SARAHKLEINER for 15% off storewide. _________ Timestamp: 00:00 Insulin Resistance vs LDL 01:05 Meet Dr Anthony Jay 04:03 Censorship and Free Speech 10:14 Seed Oils and Food Fraud 14:04 Statins and Calcified Plaque 21:53 Sugar Beat Heart Disease Mechanism 30:59 Saturated Fat Genes and Lp a 40:52 Sleep Stress Insulin Link 42:14 Metabolic Flexibility Basics 42:55 Genetic High Cholesterol Cases 43:40 Oreo Study LDL Trap 45:45 Statins Guidelines Corruption 51:02 CAC vs CCTA Scans 57:04 Labs Genes Wrap Up ——— This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional! ________________________________________ Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey! https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resources Check out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

In this podcast episode, Dr. Brandon Crawford, a chiropractor with training in functional neurology, discusses his work combining functional neurology with photomedicine/photobiomodulation, describing an early pediatric case where laser use appeared to spur unexpected brain development. He explains why some lasers may worsen symptoms (e.g., seizures) due to beam “hot spots,” wavelength energy, and dosing factors such as frequency and duty cycle, emphasizing that light is “information” and not always about increasing ATP. The conversation highlights foundational health strategies—sunlight, grounding, deuterium-depleted water, cold exposure, and reducing screens/non-native EMFs—sharing a case where these improved a child’s labs and heavy metal burden. Crawford outlines a developmental functional neurology framework (sensory mapping, primitive reflexes, muscle spindle “conversion,” spinal cord/motor neuron involvement) and discusses PANS/PANDAS as autoimmune encephalitis, focusing on neuroimmune imbalance and individualized treatment that may include targeted activation, nuanced photobiomodulation, and regenerative options like extracellular vesicles, VSEL procedures, and patented Dezawa MUSE cells. He also notes rising neurodegeneration possibly linked to geomagnetic shifts and the South Atlantic Anomaly, and provides ways to contact his clinic and options for telehealth versus intensives. — Connect with Dr Brandon https://www.drbrandoncrawford.com/ https://www.instagram.com/bcrawforddc/ Neurosolution Center of Austin https://www.neurosolutionatx.com/ https://www.instagram.com/neurosolutionatx/ https://www.facebook.com/neurosolutionatx 528i Laser https://528innovations.com/ https://www.instagram.com/528innovations/ _________ Sponsored By: VIVARAYS -Go to https:// vivarays.com/sarah and use code SARAH at checkout.

Host Sarah Kleiner welcomes naturopath and educator Sheila Kennealy, an American living in France who teaches functional blood chemistry and runs The Practitioner Blueprint course. Sheila shares how early health challenges—Roaccutane, rapid weight loss, heavy antibiotic use, liver and biliary issues, mold exposure, and family trauma—shaped her focus on biochemistry, meditation, and the link between psychological and physiological freedom. They discuss environmental contributors to modern illness (non-native EMFs, food, water, air, mold, viral reactivation), the importance of nervous system regulation, and why dogmatic diets and chronic macronutrient restriction can backfire, especially for women. They emphasize pattern recognition in labs over single markers, seasonality in interventions, supplement fatigue, and nuanced approaches to GLP-1s, HRT, and MCAS/POTS, including the viral Pepcid/Allegra PMDD trend. — Connect with Shelia Website - https://healthymomentumclinic.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/holistichealthbysheila/ Courses - https://thepractitionersblueprint.com/ _________ Sponsored By: VIVARAYS -Go to https:// vivarays.com/sarah and use code SARAH at checkout.

On the Evolving Wellness Podcast, host Sarah interviews Larry, a former football player and PhD in exercise physiology, about his worsening anxiety, depression, and cognitive symptoms after years of collision sports and a 2010 diagnosis of significant brain damage. After meeting CTE researcher Ann McKee in Boston and learning of near-infrared light research at the VA, Larry entered a study using a near-infrared headset and reports major improvements in mood, PTSD measures, cognition, and MRI functional connectivity, with symptoms returning when he stopped and improving again on a home device. He describes subsequent research in first responders and a season-long BYU football study comparing sham vs active headsets, reporting broad gains in performance measures and MRI indicators showing inflammation increases in controls but a net loss of inflammation and better axon health in treated players. Larry discusses practical use (20 minutes, typically mornings, three to five days weekly) and argues the approach is disease-modifying and relevant for athletes, veterans, and others. — BLUEPRINT INFO session - https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/blueprint-live-info-session Blueprint sign up here - (closes August 24) - https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/offers/ExuLzY2G/checkout Vielight - code SARAHK for a discount - http://www.vielight.com/devices _________ Sponsored By: VIVARAYS -Go to www.vivarays.com/sarah and use code SARAH at checkout.

Blueprint info session - (doors close August 24) - https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/offers/ExuLzY2G/checkout Low ferritin can leave you exhausted, shedding hair, and wired at night even when your bloodwork looks "normal." In this episode I break down what "ferritin face" really means, the ferritin numbers that actually matter, and the exact labs to bring to your provider. I share my own story (my ferritin dropped to a 9), the three ferritin patterns to know, why "normal" is not the same as optimal, and the root causes most people miss like estrogen clearance, gut absorption, and blood loss.

The Truth About Weight Loss, Hormones, and Reintroducing Carbs (Perimenopause-Friendly) Sarah Kleiner answers common questions about carbohydrates, arguing that blaming carbs alone for diabetes and weight gain is shortsighted and ignores lifestyle and environmental factors like circadian rhythm, light exposure, sleep, and grounding. She shares her experience with long-term carb restriction leading to low T3, hormone issues, worsened metabolic health, and weight gain, and explains how adding back healthy carbs has helped many clients—especially perimenopausal and menopausal women—sleep better and lose weight. She distinguishes whole-food carbs from processed versions (e.g., potato vs. chips), discusses carb timing and insulin sensitivity, explains individualized carb needs, and addresses glycation, AGEs, oxidative stress, and deuterium through a “terrain/mitochondria” lens.

In this podcast episode, the host interviews Evelyn (“Evie”), who runs Green Medicine of Wisconsin, a cash-based integrative clinic specializing in tick-borne disease in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Evelyn shares her childhood tick bite and classic bullseye rash leading to a clinical Lyme diagnosis, later symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and sore throats, and her path from trauma neurosurgery and primary care into Lyme-focused practice. They discuss 2026’s increased tick concerns, Evelyn’s high household tick encounters, and a wood tick that tested positive for Powassan virus. She describes common clinic presentations (fatigue, cardiac abnormalities, cognitive issues), challenges with testing, and the importance of foundations like sleep, nutrition, stress, and light exposure. Prevention strategies include tick checks, avoiding tall grass, permethrin-treated clothing, proper tweezers removal, and optional tick testing. Treatment may involve antibiotics, herbals, homeopathics, peptides, HDC helminthic therapy, ozone/IV therapies, and intravenous light therapy, with many patients improving over time. — Connect With Evelyn IG: https://www.instagram.com/thefusionfnp/ https://www.gmofwi.com/ _________ Sponsored By: → VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/ → Bon Charge | Go to https://boncharge.com/products/demi-red-light-device?rfsn=8108115.26608d & use code SARAHKLEINER for 15% off storewide. _________ Timestamp: 00:00 Tick Symptoms Surge 01:15 Why This Episode Matters 02:13 Podcast Intro And Disclaimers 03:26 Meet Evelyn Tick Specialist 04:41 Evies Lyme Origin Story 07:21 From Trauma NP To Lyme Clinic 14:41 Modern Tick Boom And What We Can Control 37:34 Why Medicine Misses Lyme 38:32 Terrain First Foundations 39:50 Stress Hormones and Pregnancy 41:19 Tick Bite Prevention Basics 46:26 Tick Testing and Next Steps 54:04 Treatment Options Beyond Antibiotics 01:02:49 Testing Advocacy and Finding Help ——— This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional! ________________________________________ Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey! https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resources Check out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

Host Sarah Kleiner introduces a conversation with 20-year-old college student Jonathan Jurecki about why aligning light exposure with the sun can dramatically improve energy, mood, sleep, and daily performance. Jonathan shares his holistic upbringing and how he became immersed in sunlight and circadian research, then explains key concepts such as sunrise light contrast, intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, the suprachiasmatic nucleus, cortisol and melatonin rhythms, and the role of red/near-infrared light in mitochondrial function and oxidative stress (including subcellular melatonin). They discuss why artificial light at night and late-night screens disrupt circadian alignment, practical strategies like controlling evening lighting, blue blockers and hats, and why sleep timing and consistency matter. Jonathan also describes influencing peers to view sunrise, his plans for science communication and research, and efforts to bridge allopathic and naturopathic medicine — Sauna Space Glow Light - code SarahK - https://sauna.space/products/glow-infrared-therapy-light?sca_ref=9407238.JOVWINJQk7i97H Lumios Bulbs from RA optics - code SARAH - https://www.raoptics.com/SARAH Connect With Johnathan: IG - https://www.instagram.com/jonathanjarecki?igsh=Zmd4MXN3eDJqeHd0 Podcast: https://thesignal.riverside.com/ Website: https://jonathanjarecki.komi.io/ _________ Sponsored By: → VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/ → Troscriptions | For an exclusive offer, go to https://www.troscriptions.com/SARAHK for 10% off your first non subscription order. _________ Timestamp: 00:00 Late Night Gaming Wake Up Call 00:51 Meet Jonathan and His Mission 04:01 Holistic Upbringing and Science Deep Dive 14:41 College Life Sunrise Habits 25:02 Why Morning Light Works 33:28 ATP and EZ Water 34:57 Energy Resistance Principle 36:45 Near Infrared Electron Boost 40:21 Back to Baseline Outdoors 49:33 Night Light and DNA Repair 58:14 Night Light Basics 59:31 Circadian Friendly Lighting 01:02:02 Early Bedtime Rules 01:05:48 Future Plans and Research 01:11:39 Resources and Wrap Up ——— This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional! ________________________________________ Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey! https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resources Check out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

On the Evolving Wellness podcast, host Sarah interviews her co-coach Becky about menopause and weight loss, focusing on simple behaviors that sabotage progress and the importance of addressing root causes. Becky shares her history of dieting (including Weight Watchers, keto, and 2.5 years of carnivore), a complete hysterectomy at 29 that put her into surgical menopause, intolerance to HRT, and struggles with insulin-resistant weight gain and Hashimoto’s that did not improve on long-term carnivore. She describes improvements after reintroducing foods, implementing circadian practices, balancing macros (including adding carbs), focusing on nervous system regulation, and using lab work to guide medication changes, leading to Hashimoto’s remission and nearly 63 pounds lost while maintaining muscle. They emphasize consistency over perfection, honest self-assessment, community support, and the roles of light, sleep, and adequate nourishment, and promote an info session and upcoming Blueprint cohort starting June 22. — THE BIO-INDIVIDUAL BLUEPRINT INFO SESSION - https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/blueprint-live-info-session Connect With Becky: Website / Coaching : https://beyondnutrition.mykajabi.com/becky-niles-coaching Affilate Links: https://beyondnutrition.mykajabi.com/coach-becky-s-affiliate-things Community : https://beyondnutrition.mykajabi.com/ Becky Sarah Kleiner Wellness Coaching: https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/offers/roupFwau/checkout Social Media X / Twitter : @nilesbecky Instagram : @iambeckyniles Facebook : Becky Niles Coaching Threads : @iambeckyniles TikTok : @iambeckyniles YouTube : Beyond Nutrition Community LinkedIn : Becky Niles Pinterest : @iambeckyniles _________ Sponsored By: → VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/ → Bon Charge | Go to https://boncharge.com/products/demi-red-light-device?rfsn=8108115.26608d & use code SARAHKLEINER for 15% off storewide. _________ Timestamp: 00:00 Hidden Sabotage Habits 00:53 Show Intro and Guest 04:27 Becky’s Health Journey 05:47 Surgical Menopause and HRT 07:02 Carnivore Experiment Lessons 10:57 Circadian Shift and Remission 13:51 Blue Blockers Sponsor 15:20 Labs and Individual Protocols 21:59 Red Light Office Sponsor 24:22 Nervous System and Honesty 28:28 Light Stress and Willpower 30:06 Morning Cortisol Levers 30:26 Blue Light Risky Choices 31:17 Accountability And Support 32:23 Keto Carnivore Rebound 33:46 Seasonal Eating Signals 35:03 Consistency Over Perfection 36:55 Community Beats Loneliness 38:33 Menopause Weight Loss Truth 44:54 Undereating Conservation Mode 51:44 Circadian Rhythm Fat Loss 53:04 Coaching Invite And Wrap 54:52 Real Stories Final Message ——— This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional! ________________________________________ Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey! https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resources Check out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

She announces a birthday contest that requires subscribing to her Substack, explains Instagram follower removals as a reason for shifting content there, and outlines subscriber freebies and paid perks plus contest prizes. On toothpaste, she argues cavities after switching may reveal deeper “terrain” issues like mouth breathing, gut dysbiosis, and mineral/nutrient deficiencies, then explains her kids’ routine based on Dr. Ellie’s toddler protocol and lists fluoride toothpaste alternatives. She also addresses “sunscreen indoors,” saying UV filters don’t block high-energy visible blue light and recommending tinted products with iron oxide, while urging nuance about sun exposure and skin cancer as cumulative oxidative stress. 00:00 Toothpaste Gate Teaser 00:20 Podcast Intro and Backlash 01:24 Birthday Contest and Substack 04:52 Prizes and How to Enter 06:35 Toothpaste Gate Explained 08:45 Kids Dental Protocol 10:55 Fluoride Toothpaste Options 14:03 Sunscreen Indoors and Blue Light 15:17 Nuance on Sunscreen and Risk 18:18 Wrap Up and Reminders This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional!________________________________________ Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey!https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resources Check out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

She cites research linking widespread vitamin D deficiency, rising melanoma rates, indoor living, and findings that chronic outdoor exposure can correlate with lower melanoma risk than intermittent “vacation” sunburn patterns; she also highlights studies associating higher UV exposure with lower all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and discusses Dr. Richard Weller’s work on UVA-triggered nitric oxide. The webinar covers sunscreen and sunglasses trade-offs, visible blue light effects, circadian disruption (including shift work), diet factors (omega-6/omega-3 balance, seed oils), alcohol-related melanoma risk, and strategies to build skin resilience with foods, minerals, and supplements.

On the Evolving Wellness podcast, host Sarah Kleiner interviews returning guest Steve about seasonal allergies, histamine intolerance, and MCAS, emphasizing that the root problem is often loss of immune tolerance driven by gut dysbiosis, leaky gut, and Th1/Th2 imbalance from factors like antibiotics, PPIs, stress, mold, and environmental changes. They contrast symptom tools—antihistamines that block histamine receptors and herbs like quercetin/ginger that stabilize mast cells—with approaches aimed at lowering IgE formation and retraining gut–immune “crosstalk.” Steve describes postbiotics and beta-glucans as “tolerization rehab,” highlighting his product HoloImmune (heat-killed strains) and butyrate (TriButyrin-X) for gut lining and mast cell support, plus DAO enzymes for dietary histamine. They discuss safety, dosing, avoiding live probiotics during flares, and examples including motion sickness, bug-bite welts, and a child’s post-viral hives. — GUT HEALTH: Healthy Gut Supplements- discount automatically applied: Holoimmune: https://healthygut.com/holoimmune-now/?rstr=811&coupon_code=Sarah15 Holozyme Link: https://healthygut.com/holozyme-now/?rstr=811&coupon_code=Sarah15 HCL Guard Link: https://healthygut.com/hcl-guard-now/?rstr=811&coupon_code=Sarah15 Tributyrin X: https://healthygut.com/tributyrin-x-now/?rstr=811&coupon_code=Sarah15 Magnesium: https://healthygut.com/magnesiumhp-now/?rstr=811&coupon_code=Sarah15 _________ Sponsored By: → VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/ → Bon Charge | Go to https://boncharge.com/products/demi-red-light-device?rfsn=8108115.26608d & use code SARAHKLEINER for 15% off storewide. _________ Timestamp: 00:00 Coming Up 01:02 Podcast Intro Disclaimer 02:15 Spring Allergies Setup 05:05 Loss Of Tolerance 08:02 Why Symptoms Worsen 10:25 How Antihistamines Work 11:59 Mast Cell Stabilizers 14:20 Rewiring With Postbiotics 16:20 Red Light Sponsor Break 17:59 MCAS Pepcid Bridge 22:11 Gut Healing Without Probiotics 25:45 Blue Blockers Sponsor Break 27:12 Mold And Individual Variance 29:57 Antibiotics Farm Effect 31:39 Dead Bugs Vs Probiotics 32:40 Live vs Dead Probiotics 33:25 Immune Software Updates 35:28 Strawberry Hives Story 36:40 Allergy Medicine Toolkit 37:25 DAO Enzyme Explained 40:05 Springtime Support Stack 40:48 Root Causes and Triggers 42:38 Immune Rehab and Tolerance 45:56 How to Start Dosing 49:11 Coaching Over AI 51:47 Antihistamines and Acid Blockers 53:56 How Long to Take It 56:35 Leaky Gut and Butyrate 57:39 Hidden Histamine Symptoms 58:29 Motion Sickness and Bug Welts 01:00:17 Wrap Up and Resources ——— This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional! ________________________________________ Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey! https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resources Check out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

Sarah hosts Nikko Kennedy on the Evolving Wellness podcast to discuss motherhood, preconception, and sleep, emphasizing how optimizing light and darkness can support polyphasic sleep and help mothers function despite frequent night wakings. Nikko argues modern expectations of consolidated 8-hour sleep and nighttime screen use worsen fatigue, while extended time in dim darkness (often 10–14 hours postpartum) can improve resilience, weight loss, and overall endocrine and metabolic health. They connect sleep to anemia, noting over 90% of new red blood cells come from recycled iron, with inflammation-regulated hepcidin limiting iron use regardless of supplementation; they highlight the roles of mitochondria, liver, spleen, and bone marrow and the need for nighttime darkness. They also touch on community/social cues, dad’s health and placental outcomes, pregnancy blood volume expansion, and mixed experiences with desiccated organ supplements. — Connect with Nikko: https://substack.com/@nikkokennedy?r=5eztl9&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page https://www.instagram.com/brighterdays.darkernights/ YOUR COMPLETE SUMMER SUN GUIDE - Free Webinar: https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/webinar-your-summer-sun-guide or Scan the QR code at 01:58 _________ Sponsored By: → VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/ → Troscriptions | For an exclusive offer, go to https://www.troscriptions.com/SARAHK for 10% off your first non subscription order. _________ Timestamp: 00:00 Coming Up 00:29 Podcast Intro 03:27 Meet Nikko Kennedy 06:04 Why Nikko Helps Moms 13:52 Polyphasic Sleep Basics 16:26 Postpartum Rest Strategy 17:54 Sleep Is Social Screens 22:22 Handling Pushback Privilege 24:17 Jealousy Online 25:44 Iron Recycling Basics 28:06 Darkness Heals Mitochondria 29:03 Enforced Darkness Protocols 31:18 Sunlight for Postpartum Recovery 35:17 Light and Breastfeeding Gains 36:06 Motherhood Moment Break 37:34 Practice Based Research 39:31 Dad Health and Placenta 41:22 Blood Volume Expansion 42:23 Boring Basics Protocol 42:47 Organ Supplements Debate ——— This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional! ________________________________________ Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey! https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resources Check out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

On the Evolving Wellness podcast, host Sarah Kleiner interviews Dr. Leland Stillman (general internist; Substack Dr. Stillman Uncensored) about leaving conventional medicine, speaking out on COVID and vaccines, and building a practice largely serving autoimmune, chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia, long COVID, and reported vaccine-injury patients; he says many symptoms cluster around pain, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and depression. Stillman argues lab values can fluctuate widely (often ~20% day to day, sometimes far more), making single readings, thyroid-replacement strategies based on free T3, and AI-generated direct-to-consumer lab reports misleading; he cites reference-range issues (e.g., cholesterol cutoffs) and emphasizes repeat testing and clinical context. He discusses his book The End of Autoimmunity, reporting a 2025 survey of 103 patients with self-reported gains in wellbeing, energy, sleep, and cognition, and outlines a “14 Day Reset” centered on morning sunlight, walking, hydration, earlier bedtime, and dimming lights. Names mentioned include Dr. Anna Maria Temple, Chris Exley, Catherine Austin Fitts, Del Bigtree, Brian Johnson, Neil Stone, Jack Dorsey, Glenn Jeffrey, and Dr. Tina, alongside brands VivaRays and Boncharge. — Links Mentioned in the video: https://store.stillmanmd.com/discount/SARAHKLEINER?ref=SARAHK https://stillmanmd.com/autoimmunity/ https://x.com/StillmanMD?mx=2 https://www.instagram.com/stillmanmd/ https://drstillmanuncensored.com/ _________ Sponsored By: → VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/ → Bon Charge | Go to https://boncharge.com/products/demi-red-light-device?rfsn=8108115.26608d & use code SARAHKLEINER for 15% off storewide. _________ Timestamp: 00:00 Coming up 00:50 Podcast Intro Disclaimer 02:04 Meet Dr Stillman 04:02 COVID Skeptic To Autoimmunity Practice 09:32 Host Vaccine Mandate Story 12:19 Vaccine Injury Autoimmunity Debate 26:27 Lab Variability And AI Reports 34:50 Deplatforming and Scams 35:53 COVID Censorship and 5G 37:41 Controlled Opposition Online 38:38 Thriving Outside the Narrative 42:28 Healing Framework That Works 53:51 14 Day Reset Needle Movers 01:03:08 Community Resilience and Wrap Up ——— This video is not medical advice & as a supporter to you and your health journey - I encourage you to monitor your labs and work with a professional! ________________________________________ Get all my free guides and product recommendations to get started on your journey! https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/all-free-resources Check out all my courses to understand how to improve your mitochondrial health & experience long lasting health!

On the Evolving Wellness Podcast, host Sarah Kleiner interviews returning guest Chris, a lab reader and health coach, about why standard lab reference ranges can be misleading because they’re based on an average, chronically ill population, leading doctors to label many people “normal” until overt disease appears (e.g., insulin ranges where healthy averages are ~2–6). They criticize algorithmic, diagnosis-driven medicine and argue AI lab interpretation repeats these limitations, lacking nuance and the human “art” of healing. Chris shares his background of childhood illness, leaving a pre-med path after shadowing physicians constrained by the system, and building a holistic practice emphasizing blood chemistry context, lifestyle/circadian factors, behavior change, and nervous system/trauma-pattern work. They discuss setting realistic expectations, avoiding excessive testing and supplement spending, and Chris describes forming a multi-practitioner team and where to find him online. — Book with Chris - https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/offers/DUNLjVAk/checkout Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themitopapi/ https://shieldofhealth.com SubStack: https://substack.com/@mitopapi X: https://x.com/Mitopapi _________ Sponsored By: → VivaRays | This episode is sponsored by VivaRays - VivaRays Blue - code YOGI https://vivarays.com/ → Troscriptions | For an exclusive offer, go to https://www.troscriptions.com/SARAHK for 10% off your first non subscription order. → Toups & Co Organics | Ready to give Toups a try?
