349: Synergy
BrainStim
Synergy is things working together to create a bigger impact than the things could independently. How does this apply to our health? Lifestyle behaviors are deeply synergistic — meaning nothing in the body works in isolation. Every action creates a ripple effect across multiple systems, rather than a simple cause-and-effect linear model that traditional western medicine tends to assume. The BrainStim gang is diving into the synergistic effects - positive and negative - and how we can employ the positive ones to help us on our wellness journey.

348: Too Good To Be True
BrainStim
In this episode, Dr. Richard Aplin and the BrainStim team tackle a theme that runs through modern health culture: the dangerous allure of quick fixes.

345: Weather Sickness
BrainStim
In this episode, Dr. Aplin and the BrainStim Gang tackle the age-old question: Why do some people get sick when the weather changes? Rather than pointing to germs as the culprit, Dr. Aplin challenges the traditional germ theory, noting that if germs were solely to blame, everyone exposed to the same environment would get sick — but they don't. Instead, he argues the real factor is individual immune capacity. Key takeaways: It's not about the germ — it's about your capacity. People who don't get sick despite exposure have stronger, more resilient immune systems. Your immune...

It's time for a round up on Roundup, or more accurately, on glyphosate. We're discussing the latest on America's favorite herbicide/pesticide. Most of our corn, soybeans, and cotton being grown in the US use the product and even many have been planting so-called “Roundup Ready” genetically engineered glyphosate-tolerant crops were introduced in 1996.

341: GRAS
BrainStim
Have you been following the increasingly louder discussions on GRAS? Those are the additives in our food supply that are "Generally Recognized As Safe" - but are they? Would you be shocked to know that even the FDA doesn't know just how many GRAS additives there even are in the United States?
