This week I invite my friend and colleague Jules Galloway, naturopath & herbalist onto the show to discuss our journeys in late diagnosis ADHD this past year. We don’t have all the answers. There aren’t protocols we’re sharing or ways of ‘getting rid of the symptoms’ but it’s an exploration of why we both chose to get diagnosed, some of the things we’ve been exploring, thinking and feeling as we’ve looked back at our lives, and where we’ve arrived in places - also admitting there’s still so much to unpack. I will also record a personal show in a couple of weeks with audience questions that have come from Instagram and that will come from the community once you’ve listened to this one. Jules and per husband James Galloway, also host a podcast called LD ADHD which you can go and explore. Please do get the support you need - life is much better when we know and accept ourselves and also feel empowered to change what we can for the better, through support, therapies and various other tools.

Perhaps the best doctors to usher us into the new integrative era of medicine and root cause approaches, are the conventional doctors for whom a health crisis occured and they realised the tools they had been given we’re enough. This is a pattern I’ve noticed in interviewing now hundreds of doctors over the years and Akil is one such person. In today’s show we discuss why the integrative approach is far superior to conventional when it comes to the chronic disease epidemics we’re seeing all ovewr the world and how the protocol he has researched and developed over the years in his practice combines the best of multiple disciplines to support people in losing weight, gaming energy and reversing disease. Dr. Akil Palanisamy is a Harvard-trained physician, integrative medicine expert and author of  The T.I.G.E.R. Protocol. Akil practices integrative medicine, blending his conventional medical expertise with holistic approaches including functional medicine and Ayurveda. Enjoy the show and head to the show notes for more details over at lowtoxlife.com/podcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we talk about how to cultivate cellular wellness to both heal and prevent disease. My guest, Dr Bill Rawls was travelling along routinely as a 4th generation physician in his family, until he became unwell in a way that he didn’t seem to have any tools as a trained physician, to fix. When faced with Lyme disease, everything changed. In his quest to regain his health, Dr. Rawls knew he had to find his own path and new tools to restore wellness. For the past 15 years, he has extensively studied the science behind herbal therapies and new, sustainable approaches for protecting health in a proactive, preventative way, rather than waiting for something bad to happen.Today, Dr. Rawls shares the revelations that helped him and thousands of others reclaim their lives. He is the best-selling author of Unlocking Lyme, and his most recent book, The Cellular Wellness Solution: Tap Into Your Full Health Potential with the Science-Backed Power of Herbs. I hope you love the show and pick up lots of goodness from Bill’s wisdom and wonderful way of explaining things and you can head to the show notes over at lowtoxlife.com/podcast for further details on his book and work as well as our sponsor offers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In his suicide note, he wrote that he would have never told us how he felt or taken our help. We were devastated and shocked and have since learned that thousands of families had the same experience. None of his friends, family, or his coaches knew that he was struggling with depression. My name is Elliot Kallen, and I am the President and Founder of A Brighter Day Charity.  In honor of Jake, we began this charity six years ago by creating resources for teens and parents on stress and depression to stop teen suicide. We have now grown to become a charity that has impacted tens of thousands of families. Thousands are viewing our resources every month. We have established support programs and even offer college scholarships. Teen suicide has become a major problem in this country and is now the 2nd leading cause of death among teens. We are experts in teen depression and don’t want other parents to experience this devastation.  I will share ideas that will make a huge difference in the lives of teens and their parents.” Teen mental health is a real concern to many and it will take all of us to support our teens through these years.
