Alzheimer’s Recovery: Frank Shares His Story 12 Years After Diagnosis 06/12/2024

Alzheimer’s Recovery: Frank Shares His Story 12 Years After Diagnosis In this episode of Rebuilding My Health Radio, I’m bringing you one of the most important interviews and stories I’ve ever had the honor of capturing. In the episode, I interview Francis McNear, or Frank, who was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s 12 years ago, at the age of 62. The average life expectancy for someone diagnosed is typically about a decade and it’s a frightening decline. And yet… 12 years after his diagnosis, Frank and I had an intelligent conversation about his journey back from Alzheimer's. Frank went on to write his story and title the book, Defeating Dementia. That would not have been possible if he had not overhead a conversation years ago – while having lunch – about a promising approach to cognitive decline that was uncovered by the neurologist Dr. Dale Bredesen. At the time, 9 out of 10 of the participants in a small study had seen improvements in their dementia. Now, hundreds are finding help with a precision medicine approach. This is compared to over 400 failed clinical trials for Alzheimer’s drugs. In our conversation, Frank candidly shares… What it was like to begin losing his cognition and the fallout in his business and relationships His struggle to come to terms with what was happening How he got a diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer’s How he found an alternative Alzheimer’s treatment What the approach looked like for him and the impact on his cognitive abilities And finally, what his life is like today He’s living a vibrant life and has written several books since his diagnosis. And he’s thrilled to have become a grandfather for the first time and able to really enjoy his granddaughter. My hope is that Frank’s story gives you hope and inspiration and a new understanding of what’s possible. Frank is by no means the only one experiencing life-changing results with a precision medicine approach to dementia.

Cancer-Free and Thriving: Jenn's Alternative Cancer Treatment Journey 02/28/2024

Cancer-Free and Thriving: Jenn's Alternative Cancer Treatment Journey What does an integrative approach to cancer look like? Jenn shares the physical, mental, and spiritual steps she took to heal. In 2015, Jenn was diagnosed with breast cancer – and by that point, it had already metastasized to multiple parts of her body. Her lymph nodes were the size of golf balls. It’s a terrifying diagnosis for anyone, but all the more so as she thought of her four small children. Jenn lived near excellent cancer treatment centers and got multiple opinions – all pointing her to the standard of care for this type of diagnosis: surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Despite it all, her intuition strongly told her that wasn’t the right path for her. She ultimately decided to proceed with holistic approaches and only the minimal amount of surgery necessary. And in time, Jenn cleared her body of cancer and is living a vibrant life today. In our conversation, you’ll hear… The details of the holistic path that Jenn took, including the therapies she used. Why she followed a low-carb, keto diet. How meditation played a major role in navigating decisions and healing How you can tap into what Jenn calls your inner guru for guidance How her health crisis inspired a shift away from her longtime, demanding banking career And what plant stem cells are and their role in Jenn’s healing. You can find links to learn more about plant stem cells in the show notes. Jennifer Payeur is a passionate advocate for the healing power of nature. After experiencing a life-threatening health issue, she left a 29-year career as an executive in Financial Services. She embarked on a journey of self-discovery, reconnecting with the inherent healing properties of plants. In 2019, she founded Nature Provides, an innovative plant stem cell company. Her mission is to educate and empower others on how these unique plant remedies detoxify, strengthen and rejuvenate the cells in the body, bringing vibrant health to the individual. No matter what health challenges you might be facing, there’s rich wisdom in Jenn’s story. So much of it is about tuning in to intuition and slowing down.

Thriving with MS: Insights from the Author of “Beating Multiple Sclerosis” 10/25/2023

Thriving with MS: Insights from the Author of “Beating Multiple Sclerosis” How did a New York mom transform her multiple sclerosis symptoms with lifestyle changes? In this episode of the Rebuilding My Health Radio podcast, Agota Nawroth shares her journey of significantly reducing the symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) through lifestyle changes and a mindset. And as a recent author of the book, Beating Multiple Sclerosis, she offers insights into some of the ways that others are also healing MS. In this episode, you’ll hear… 1. Agota's journey from a life-altering multiple sclerosis diagnosis to a life filled with hope and vitality. 2. The dietary changes that became a cornerstone of Agota's wellness plan and dramatically improved her MS symptoms. 3. The game-changing steps she took to minimize her MS symptoms. 4. The transformative power of a positive mindset and how Agota cultivated resilience. 5. The importance of listening to your body and responding accordingly. 6. How Agota's inspiring journey led her to write a book and become a beacon of hope for those seeking to take control of their health and well-being. About Agota Nawroth Agota Nawroth is a devoted mother, a certified health coach, and someone who has faced the unique challenges of living with multiple sclerosis (MS). She is also the author and publisher of the enlightening book “Beating Multiple Sclerosis,” which not only shares her own journey but also chronicles the stories of dozens of others who are conquering this disease. She is the founder of , an online community committed to healing. You can find her on Instagram and YouTube at @BeatingMyMS. Agota's MS Journey: A Life-Changing Diagnosis Agota's journey with MS began in March 2019, a life-altering moment that turned her world upside down. “I was diagnosed in 2019, and now, looking back, I feel like I'm a different person,” she says. “So many things have changed in my life, and I think I can say the same for anyone diagnosed with a disease like multiple sclerosis." In those early days, she turned to Instagram as a way to document her journey, share her experiences, and find hope. Her platform, now known as "Beating My MS," quickly evolved into a source of inspiration and education for others battling MS. A Life Unraveled: The Sudden Onset of MS Agota's MS diagnosis came seemingly out of the blue. She had recently returned from her honeymoon and was eagerly preparing to start a family. Her initial symptoms were anxiety and unexplained depression, making it difficult to identify the impending storm. It wasn't long before she experienced numbness in her forehead and hearing loss in her left ear. At first, Agota attributed these symptoms to various factors such as altitude or the recent plane ride after a trip to Colorado. Her search led her through various doctors, including an ear specialist who couldn't find any definitive answers. Concerned that her symptoms could be connected to her brain, she asked for an MRI. When the MRI results came in, Agota received a call urging her to see a neurologist immediately, as she might have multiple sclerosis. Agota's initial reaction was to turn to the internet, where she encountered a flood of information, some of which painted a grim picture of disability. She confided, "I don't know, I just felt like my life was collapsing. That day, I couldn't stop crying." A Determined Approach: Transforming Mindset and Lifestyle In the face of this daunting diagnosis, Agota decided to take matters into her own hands. As she learned more about MS, she discovered that diet and lifestyle play pivotal roles in managing the condition. She decided to start her journey to wellness by changing her diet and quickly realized the connection between her diet and her MS symptoms. She noted, "I was feeling better once I started eating better. Every time I was eating pizza or gluten, like anything that contains gluten, I was feeling face numbness. So those were signs that I was listening to." Initially, she began with dietary changes, eliminating gluten, dairy, refined sugar, and other potentially inflammatory foods. She focused on incorporating more fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins into her daily meals. This shift in her diet brought noticeable improvements in her health. Beyond diet changes, she explored meditation as a means of reducing stress and promoting mental well-being. She admitted that, at first, meditation was a struggle, but she persevered, and it has now become a daily practice that brings peace and clarity to her life. Agota also made the transition from intense workouts to gentler forms of exercise, such as yoga and walking, which were kinder to her body and helped her stay active while managing her condition. Sharing the Journey: Building a Supportive Community As Agota implemented these lifestyle changes and embraced a proactive mindset, she felt compelled to share her journey with others who were going through similar challenges. On Instagram, where she inspires tens of thousands of others with MS, Agota's posts are filled with inspiring interviews and insights. Over time, Agota's platform has grown into a beacon of hope, proving that lifestyle changes and a resilient mindset can significantly improve the quality of life for those with MS. Recently, Agota published a collection of inspiring MS success stories in Beating Multiple Sclerosis. It serves as a valuable resource and source of inspiring for those with MS and other chronic health conditions. Agota's remarkable transformation through lifestyle changes and an unwavering positive mindset is a testament to the potential within us all.

No matter what health issue you might be facing, my guest shares the lifestyle approaches, self-care and boundaries that helped her heal and may just help you as well. Kristin Thomas is a Forbes-recognized top business coach with an inspiring health turnaround story. While she was working for fast-paced startups in her early 20s, lifelong gut issues became severe and led to an autoimmune diagnosis of ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease. After heavy duty medications failed to help, she eventually turned to a multi-layered lifestyle approach that stopped her symptoms and ultimately put her UC into remission. In this episode, we discuss… The gut-health struggles that led to an autoimmune diagnosis of ulcerative colitis The heavy-duty medications that failed to prevent flare-ups Some of the conditions that accompanied UC for her, including anxiety and depression The role of acupuncture and functional health coaching in her healing The gut conditions she found behind her ulcerative colitis such as parasites, Candida and other bad bacteria What a customized healing diet looked like for her How she supported her body to heal, including addressing her adrenals and other hormones How this driven woman learned to embrace self care – and build those habits into her schedule – to protect her health The role of emotional healing And how all this changed the course of Kristin’s career Kristin Thomas is the founder of and is a top marketing & business mentor to many of the leading experts in the health and wellness field.

Reversing Type 2 Diabetes: One Man’s Story 04/05/2023

Reversing Type 2 Diabetes: One Man’s Story Today I’m excited to bring you a unique episode with sister-brother due, Lori Balue and Mark Balue. I featured Lori in episode 37 for her dramatic health transformation. Previously, she had asthma, allergies, polycystic ovarian syndrome, infertility, brain fog, prediabetes (also known as insulin resistance) along with depression and anxiety, and she had been on a lifelong struggle to lose weight. Lori Balue ultimately went on to overhaul her health, primarily through lifestyle interventions. And now she’s aging adventurously and planning to celebrate her 60th birthday by hiking the Grand Canyon rim to rim – something she never could have done before. Her episode is my most popular, so check it out. Well, her transformation was a powerful inspiration for her older brother, who was struggling with his own very significant health challenges. At the time, Mark had pancreatitis, type 2 diabetes, was on cholesterol and blood pressure medication, and was well over 300 lbs. When the doctor wanted him to add insulin, that was the wake-up call he needed. Lori and Mark’s father had passed away in his 60s and so had another sister – and Mark felt he was on the same track. There are so many valuable insights in this episode. You’ll hear … How his younger sister’s transformative health experience inspired Mark and how he worked with her to reverse type 2 diabetes The lifestyle changes that Mark made to get his blood sugar under control, including swapping the standard American diet for a keto diet The science behind the keto diet for reversing type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance How Mark uses fasting for an extra boost The exercise that works best for Mark How finding food sensitivities contributed to his progress (for him, seemingly healthy foods like strawberries and peaches were a problem) The gut dysbiosis and infections Mark had to address The importance of mindset in making lifestyle changes And how Mark is today, which is down to his goal weight of 175 lbs with dramatically improved diabetes numbers, off cholesterol medication and half the dosage of blood pressure medication (with his doctor’s blessing). He has effectively put his diabetes into remission. Mark Balue, 62, lives in Southern California. After returning from the Navy, he worked in Point Mugu, Antarctica, New Zealand, and Saudi Arabia for Lockheed before returning home and working the night shift for Lockheed, McDonald Douglas, and Boeing for 36 years in aircraft painting. A vacation with his family in 2020 made him realize that he wanted more out of life, leading him to reach out to his sister for help. Lori’s personal experience inspired her to become a health coach. She’s an Adapt Certified Functional Health Coach and a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® Practioner. She helps women in menopause use functional labs, lifestyle, and health adventures to lose weight, stop pain, and create an active lifestyle to age beautifully and adventurously.

In many ways, her story looks like what so many of us women experience: crushing fatigue, gut issues, weight gain, headaches, hair loss, skin issues, and more.

In the episode, we discuss… - The foundational steps she took to feel better and get her thyroid antibodies back to normal - How eliminating triggering foods reduced her inflammation and symptoms - The infections she had to address - The importance of reducing her exposure to toxins, including her mercury dental fillings - Why it’s critical to take bioidentical hormones versus synthetic hormones for hormone replacement therapy - And her tips for optimizing sleep so your body can heal Dr. Farah’s experience inspired her to change her approach to medicine.

Overcoming Midlife Health Hurdles When Your Labs Look Normal 11/16/2022

Overcoming Midlife Health Hurdles When Your Labs Look Normal Have you ever been told that, despite feeling bad, your labwork looks totally normal? Today’s episode will be particularly insightful for women in their 30s-50s, but also holds some essential health insights no matter what stage of life you’re in. Today I’m talking with Dr. Inna Lozinskaya, MD. Like many women, Dr. Inna began experiencing health issues in her 30s, including fatigue, sleeplessness, hair loss, unexplained weight gain and miscarriages. As a hospital physician, she and her doctors investigated it with conventional labwork – only to find that her labs looked frustratingly normal. And yet, she felt anything but. Her search for answers would take her from Western medicine to Eastern medicine to Ayurveda and finally to functional medicine, which is about finding the root cause of illness. That’s where she discovered the answers and healing she needed. Then later, when menopause and new symptoms hit, she again applied the same functional medicine framework to feel back to herself. In my talk with Dr. Inna, you’ll hear… The health setback that led her to study some of the world’s leading health frameworks Why functional medicine’s root cause approach was ultimately the solution for her How she applied the four-legged stool of functional medicine, including gut-healing, detoxification, hormone balancing and lifestyle How she again applied the same approach when menopause wreaked havoc on her hormones And how this inspired a career shift for Dr. Inna to add functional medicine to her MD practice Today, Dr. Inna is a physician, international speaker, author, educator, mentor, wife, and so much more. She is a founder and Medical Director of Create Health Integrative and Functional Medicine center in Denver, Colorado. Dr. Inna was originally a Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine and Palliative Medicine, she studied Mind-Body Medicine and Chinese Medicine at Harvard Medical School. She is also a Diplomate of the American Board of Integrative Medicine (ABOIM), fully trained by Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) and is currently training with the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M). She founded Create Health center to help her clients achieve maximum vitality by resolving the root cause of their symptoms, instead of just offering more medications. Her wellness system helps men and women in midlife and beyond optimize their hormones and balance metabolism, restoring their energy, weight, sleep, memory, and taking their performance to a whole new level.
