In this episode, we discuss: Dagmara’s background and personal journey Challenges in pediatric oncology Root causes and contributing factors Integrative approaches to treatment Epigenetics and personalized care Outdated practices, common sense, and intuition Support and healing after treatment Show notes: [embedded content]   Hey everyone, Chris Kresser here. Welcome to another episode of Revolution Health Radio. It’s an incredibly difficult and trying experience to receive a cancer diagnosis for your child. But that is compounded by the fact that there are very few integrative or holistic options available for treatment. Or, put another way, there are very few clinicians out there who take an integrative or holistic approach to pediatric oncology. So for parents who want to pursue that as an approach, there just isn’t a lot available. And that’s true even if you’re...

When you hear the word “curcumin,” what’s the first thing that comes to mind? If you’re like most people, you probably think of its well-known benefits for joint health and inflammation. But what if I told you that this powerful compound might be even more valuable for an organ you can’t see or touch – your brain? As a functional medicine practitioner, I’ve spent years exploring the intricate connections between nutrition and cognitive health. While many of my patients are familiar with curcumin’s effects on musculoskeletal health, few know its potential to support brain function and protect against cognitive decline. Curcumin, the primary bioactive compound in turmeric, has been the subject of extensive research in recent years. Scientists have uncovered a range of impressive neurological benefits, from...

In this episode, we discuss: Introduction to modern aquaculture What proper aquaculture looks like Appropriate fish feed Toxin accumulation Sustainability and the future of aquaculture Show notes: [embedded content] Hey everybody, Chris Kresser here. Welcome to another episode of Revolution Health Radio. If you listen to this podcast, you probably think quite a bit about how you source the food you eat from grass-fed or pasture-raised animal products to organic and local produce. But what about seafood? Historically, we have been led to believe that wild-caught seafood is far healthier than farm-raised seafood, and in a lot of cases, that’s true. It’s definitely my bias as well. But there are a growing number of challenges when it comes to wild-caught seafood, from an increase in toxins like mercury in the ocean and...

As a Functional Medicine practitioner, I’ve seen firsthand the debilitating effects that osteoporosis and osteoarthritis can have on my patients’ quality of life. While conventional treatments can help manage symptoms, they often come with unwanted side effects and fail to address the underlying causes of bone loss and joint degeneration. That’s why I’m excited to share the latest research on curcumin, a natural compound that shows tremendous promise for preventing and treating these conditions. Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric, a spice used for centuries in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. In recent years, scientists have begun to uncover the multiple mechanisms curcumin supports bone health. The evidence is compelling: Curcumin supplementation has been shown to reduce bone turnover markers and increase bone mineral density in postmenopausal women...
