Targeting Telomeres Mar 29, 2017

Show notes

If your telomeres could talk - what would they tell you? In today's podcast we welcome back one of our favourite guests, Dr Lise Alshuler to dive into a discussion about telomeres and their relevance in health. Telomeres are the protective caps on the ends of our chromosomes that serve to protect them from damage. Telomeres shorten as we age and their length can have an impact on our resilience and overall health. So, how can we optimise them? Can we lengthen them or prevent them from shortening in the first place? What, if any, interventions exist for this? Dr Alschuler will expertly walk you through it. *****DISCLAIMER: The information provided on FX Medicine is for educational and informational purposes only.

Navigating Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome with Lara Briden Feb 15, 2017

Show notes

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder affecting in women of reproductive age. Around 1 in 5 women suffer from PCOS, however this number may be much higher as it is estimated that up to 70% of women with the condition remain undiagnosed. While the cause of PCOS remains unknown the crux of the condition is hormone imbalance. Most symptoms are caused by high androgens levels and often manifest as acne, weight gain, excess body hair and irregular periods. PCOS also comes with a range of comorbidities such as infertility, metabolic dysfunction and mood disorders. In today's podcast, women's health expert Dr Lara Briden takes us through the complexities of the PCOS patient picture and the many opportunities complementary medicine offers to sufferers where traditional medical approaches may have missed the mark. *****DISCLAIMER: The information provided on FX Medicine is for educational and informational purposes only.

Functional Pathology: Neurotransmitters Feb 01, 2017

Show notes

Detecting neurotransmitter (NT) imbalance has the potential to refine treatment choices for sufferers of depression, anxiety, insomnia and chronic pain. Although it is not yet possible to measure NTs directly within the central nervous system (CNS), newer research proposes that testing for NT metabolites in our urine may offer up some clues as to what it happening in the CNS. Today, naturopath and functional pathology expert Beth Bundy helps us to navigate the clinical relevance of using this sphere of testing. Whilst only a guide, to be used alongside other assessments, perhaps this form of testing will reduce the guesswork and improve the success rate of initial treatment above the 50% chance for current pharmacological management? *****DISCLAIMER: The information provided on FX Medicine is for educational and informational purposes only.

Harnessing The Vagus Nerve Jan 25, 2017

Show notes

Headaches, atrial fibrillation, epilepsy, anxiety and depression? While these conditions may seem unrelated they may all benefit from a potential treatment involving gargling and the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is a major neuronal pathway of the parasympathetic nervous system, our rest-and-digest system. Known as the “wandering nerve” because it branches all throughout the body the vagus nerve has far-reaching effects which include involvement in swallowing, speech, heart rate, respiratory control, gastric secretion and intestinal motility. In this episode Andrew speaks to Emrys Goldsworthy, a Senior Lecturer and Musculoskeletal Therapist, about the use of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) to improve health and wellbeing. As an expert in VNS, Emrys takes us through the research behind this therapy and shares with us some techniques for harnessing the vagus nerve. *****DISCLAIMER: The information provided on FX Medicine is for educational and informational purposes only.
