For centuries, members of the B’doul Bedouin tribe lived in the caves around the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. Then, in the 1980s, the government forced the tribe to move in the name of preserving the geological site for tourists. But if the residents are forced to leave, and if their heritage has been permanently changed, then what exactly is being preserved?

1 More Hair In Your Brush than on Your Head? 10 Science Based Powerful Remedies 13:59

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedOn this episode, Dr. Labbe delved deep into the topic of hair loss, which despite not being one of society's most pressing issues, is an important health concern that deserves attention. Here are the key points discussed: The Body's Prioritization: Our bodies, in their wisdom, divert energy and nutrients from hair, skin, and nails to vital organs like the heart, lungs, kidneys, and thyroid in order to optimize overall health. Alopecia and Other Conditions: We explored various reasons for hair loss, such as alopecia, an autoimmune disease that can cause hair loss in patches or completely, which is often linked to thyroid issues like Hashimoto's. Other autoimmune diseases such as lupus and untreated celiac disease can also contribute to hair loss. Role of High Testosterone: PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) or high testosterone levels can contribute to hair loss. Imbalances like insulin resistance, or an imbalance of estrogen and progesterone, or even high cortisol may be at play. Hormonal Fluctuations: During menopause and perimenopause, fluctuations in hormones may lead to hair loss. Also, the quantity of active thyroid hormone (T3) can have an impact on hair growth. Medications and Their Side Effects: Medications can sometimes cause hair thinning, or other unpleasant side effects, and there's a need for caution in using products like Rogaine whose long-term effects are unknown. Natural Approach: We discussed the benefits of a natural approach to hair loss, focusing on restoring balance to the body's hormones, neurotransmitters, etc. Science-backed Remedies: We discussed a range of remedies such as evening primrose, biotin, green tea, checking iron levels, lysine, arginine, Saw Palmetto, MSM, zinc, and stinging nettles. Importance of Diet: An anti-inflammatory diet filled with healthy fats, quality proteins, and lower glycemic foods can support hair health and aid in thyroid conversion. Stress Management: High stress levels and consequent high cortisol can contribute to hair loss. We highlighted the importance of finding stress relief activities that work for you. Positive Mindset: The power of positive thinking and its impact on the body's response was also stressed. Remember, reversing thyroid hair loss takes time, usually six to nine months, and it's usually the last thing to return when your body is regaining balance. But with time, patience, and the right approach, you should be able to see baby hairs coming back gradually.

1 4 Top AutoImmune Triggers that May Be Impacting Your Hashimoto's 10:24

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIn this episode Dr. Labbe discusses: Introduction: Autoimmune diseases often have invisible symptoms and can fluctuate over time. Common autoimmune diseases include Lupus, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, fibromyalgia, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Understanding Autoimmunity: Autoimmunity occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues. The immune system misbehaves, attacking healthy tissues instead of external threats. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an example of an autoimmune disease. Causes of Autoimmunity: Autoimmune diseases can be caused by a combination of genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and epigenetics. Predisposition refers to certain characteristics that make individuals more susceptible to developing an autoimmune disease. Genetic factors like HLA, p53, and IL10 genes have been associated with Hashimoto's and other autoimmune diseases. Environmental triggers, such as intestinal permeability (leaky gut), infections like Epstein Barr virus, and chronic infections like Lyme disease, can contribute to autoimmunity. Exposure to pollutants, toxins, chemicals, heavy metals, and mold can also act as triggers. Physical or psychological trauma and chronic stress can impact the immune system and trigger autoimmune irregularities. Epigenetics, the study of biological processes that switch genes on and off, can play a role in the development of autoimmune diseases. The Importance of Identifying Triggers and Predispositions: Understanding triggers and predispositions is crucial in managing autoimmune diseases. Functional blood tests and specialized labs like Cyrex Labs can help identify infections, hormonal imbalances, allergies, immune cell counts, and food intolerances. Identifying triggers and predispositions can provide insights into the causes of autoimmune diseases and guide personalized treatment approaches. Recognizing and addressing triggers can help reduce symptoms and improve overall health. Conclusion: Autoimmune diseases require a comprehensive understanding of triggers, predispositions, and lifestyle factors. Identifying and addressing triggers is essential for effectively managing Hashimoto's and other autoimmune conditions. Functional testing and consultations with healthcare professionals can provide valuable insights and guidance in addressing autoimmune triggers and improving overall well-being.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIn This Episode, Dr. Joni Labbe, Reveals: Negative thoughts and emotions can adversely affect our health, biochemistry, hormones, and emotions. Maintaining a positive attitude and practicing positive self-talk, visualization, prayer, or meditation can improve our ability to cope with stress and heal. Functional medicine focuses on health management and has made significant progress in managing chronic health conditions. Dr. Carolyn Leaf, a neuroscientist, teaches how toxic thoughts and emotions affect our overall health. Her book "Who Switched Off My Brain? Controlling Toxic Thoughts and Emotions" is highly recommended. Epigenetics examines the collective impact of genes, environment, food, social interactions, supplements, and mental/emotional state on the quality of life. Managing stress is crucial for overall well-being, especially for those with chronic health conditions such as Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism. Adrenal glands can impact emotions, energy levels, gut-brain function, thyroid health, and sleep quality. The first step to better health is checking blood work and adopting a self-care attitude. Chronic stress can cause inflammation, depress the immune system, alter moods, and affect relationships. Adrenal imbalances are common and can impact thyroid function. Addressing chronic viruses, environmental toxins, and food tolerances can help improve adrenal health and overall well-being. Resources: FEELING LOUSY IS NOT "JUST PART OF GETTING OLDER."

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedDo you often wake up in the middle of the night with your mind racing and unable to fall back asleep? In this podcast episode, we discuss a surprising tip to help you sleep better, manage your blood sugar, and support those with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism. Key points: If you wake up during the night, try eating something high in protein and fat like nut butter, almonds, a hard-boiled egg, or lean meat. Your brain needs fuel during sleep, but low blood sugar can disrupt this process, leading to sleep disturbances. People with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism often experience low blood sugar and can benefit from managing their blood sugar levels. Tips for better sleep and blood sugar management: Always eat breakfast, even if you don't feel like it. Eat frequently throughout the day to avoid blood sugar crashes. Adopt a lower carbohydrate diet and avoid sugary, high carbohydrate breakfast foods. Eat enough protein and healthy fats to sustain your energy. Avoid stimulants like caffeine, especially in the afternoon, and minimize alcohol consumption. Choose chamomile tea and foods high in tryptophan like turkey, salmon, pineapple, nuts and seeds, and eggs. Consider supplements like magnesium or melatonin to help regulate sleep. Herbal supplements like valerian root, passionflower, and L-theanine can also be helpful. Incorporate these tips into your everyday life and see if they help you stay alert during the day and sleep well at night. Sweet dreams and we look forward to talking with you soon!

In this episode, we discuss how stress affects your health and explore adrenal-related stress signs. These signs include fatigue, slow mornings, afternoon energy crashes, cravings for sweets, caffeine, or nicotine, unstable behavior, moodiness, and dizziness when changing positions. We also talk about how chronic stress can sabotage efforts to manage hypothyroidism and how stress can result from various factors like blood sugar imbalances, infections, or autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's. A simple saliva adrenal stress test can help measure cortisol levels and provide insights into your adrenal health. We discuss how cortisol should be high in the morning and low at night, but for many people, it's reversed, causing fatigue in the morning and insomnia at night. By analyzing your saliva adrenal stress test results, we can create a personalized health protocol to improve your adrenal health. We also explore how stress can impact your immune system over time, potentially causing food intolerances, infections, and weakened immunity. Finally, we touch on the importance of blood sugar stability in managing stress and its symptoms. To get started on improving your stress management and overall quality of life, consider contacting our office to request a saliva adrenal stress test kit. Join us in this important conversation about stress, blood sugar, cortisol levels, and how we can help you return to the best version of yourself.
