Dr Leo Galland, MD rejoins Dr Ruth Allan on Episode 084 of her show 'Brain Health: Unchaining Your Pain' and fourth episode in series 5. Dr Galland has spent the past 40 years treating patients with complex, chronic illness. He has developed innovative approaches to evaluation and treatment, that helped to create the foundation for functional medicine. His latest focus has been on the reversal of long covid. In this episode we talk about how to prevent long covid and reverse any complications that may arise should you experience long covid - and ultimately how to recover from it. Dr Galland discusses what happens when we get long covid, how the virus enters the body, the cells and organs that it attacks and how, and the subsequent symptoms that arise - focusing on the key factors in the web of long covid. Dr Galland talks about the impact long covid has on the blood vessels and blood flow, resulting in disturbances in blood flow, even in young people. He explains the impact it has on mast cell activation, triggering an inflammatory immune system response. He then goes into detail as to what you can do about it personally if you are experiencing any of these symptoms associated with long covid, including those experienced by children. I found this episode absolutely fascinating as there is so much we can personally do to reverse and recover from long covid. I personally found Dr Galland's information he shares on covid and long covid invaluable in my own personal journey of recovery, having had covid twice (that I am aware of). In Dr Galland's view, the biggest problem with Covid and long Covid is the lack of communication around what is going on in your body and what action you can take to help your recovery. I hope that this episode goes some way to enhance the communication necessary to the general public to aid your recovery or that of those you care about to restore health, wealth and vitality.

Sometimes, until it’s at your front door, you don’t think about it enough. Every 15 minutes someone dies by suicide in the United States, every 40 seconds worldwide, with suicide attempts being even more frequent, and every 16 minutes someone is left behind, asking ‘why?’ Why are so many people losing faith in life at a time when more of us are doing better than ever before? It’s a question most of us would rather continue to avoid Following in the footsteps of the last decades’ successful international initiatives regarding cancer and HIV/AIDS, our main aim is to encourage an up to date discussion about the worldwide phenomenon of increasing suicide – not just on the margins, but at the center of society, where it belongs Because as soon as we start to talk about things openly, we’ll find better solutions than what we’ve had so far A Chance for Happiness Foundation has been a member of World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH) since 2018 and has organised annual charity events benefitting Mental Health in Velden am Wörthersee, Austria 2017, Vienna, Austria 2018, Paris, France 2019, Monaco 2020 and – following the global C-virus outbreak – at Laxenburg Castle near Vienna, Austria 2022. Harald Walter Azmann is co-founder of A Chance for Happiness Foundation after his daughter Lisa died by suicide and the catalyst behind this inspiring initiative Dr Ruth Allan is supporting this initiative as in November 2016 she hit rock bottom when she had suicidal thoughts after being told by her employer she had no emotional intelligence, shortly after having a miscarriage Her grandfather died by suicide when her mother was only six years old, and so this deep low ignited her to take action to optimise her brain health to live a healthier, happier life, which led her to having her daughter Lilly in 2018 Industry leaders, family leaders and entrepreneurs now hire her to live a healthier, happier life by unchaining their pain from past trauma, unlocking the secrets to greater mental clarity and performance and unleashing their full potential by optimising their unique brain Everyone deserves a chance for happiness Be sure to rate and review this episode on any podcasting platform.

He talks about how nitric oxide is created and what insults we are imposing on our body to reduce our natural ability to generate it Dr Bryan discusses the effect of nitric oxide on COVID, and why it's so important to prevent infection and reduce the ability of the spike protein to attack your cells. He also discusses what improvements have been observed when restoring nitric oxide production, from improvements in blood pressure, exercise performance, sexual function, brain health and cognition as well as regression of cardiovascular disease and reversing heart disease I loved this episode as nitric oxide is such a fundamentally important redox signalling molecule that requires much greater attention to empower people to enhance and optimise their nitric oxide production for long term cognitive and cardiovascular health Plus - and what is really important for me, is this is something we can teach at kindergarten and in schools. Educating children on why nitric oxide generation in our body is so important and what simple steps they can take to improve the generation of nitric oxide and eradicate the insults that are depleting our bodies of this vital cellular messenger.

Grayson discusses his moment of shame and the pivotal moment in his life that led him to playing for the Auckland blues at 19 years old.

Dr Ruth Allan goes LIVE as a new ‘Brain Bites' segment to her podcast ‘Brain Health: Unchaining Your Pain' In this LIVE episode, Dr Ruth draws on several guest episodes of her show ‘Brain Health: Unchaining Your Pain' and her own experience to provide parents and carers with ten simple steps they can take to empower their children to become warriors for their health – starting with creating food warriors. Why? Because at present, in the USA, our children are predicted to die earlier than us due to the state of our food system – in essence, we are killing our children early. And being a parent, Dr. Ruth is NOT ok with that. In this episode, Dr. Ruth talks about what you can do to nurture healthier, happier, calmer kids who, rather than being victims to the toxins in the food system that is poisoning their minds and bodies, are more EMPOWERED to take back control and change the food system to one that benefits their health, rather than just the food industry. She shares the shocking statistics that are influencing what we eat and the impact it is having on us. She discusses why it's so important to start talking about the brain and falling in love with it, what you can do as a parent or carer personally to become ambassadors for a better brain and longer health span and life span, and how you can support your children in becoming food warriors. We would love to know what of the ten steps you will implement in your family or your organisation – let us know! If you'd love to share your story of how these ten steps have influenced change in your family or your organisation, whether an educational institution or business, we'd love to hear from you.

Henry Dimbleby joins Dr Ruth Allan LIVE on her show ‘Brain Health: Unchaining Your Pain' on Monday, 27 March 2023 Henry Dimbleby is the author of the book ‘Ravenous: How to get ourselves and our planet into shape’. Published in March 2023, this analysis of the food system – how it is malfunctioning and what to do about it, build on the work he did in the independent National Food Strategy, described by Prue Leith as “the best government document that’s ever come out.” In 2013, he co-authored The School Food Plan, a blueprint for the government setting out actions to transform what children eat in schools and how they learn about food. It resulted in the introduction of free school meals for all children up to the age of eight and cooking lessons being made obligatory for all children up to 14 years old. From 2018 to 2023, Dimbleby was the lead non-executive board member of the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs. He has also advised the Labour party on improving the food system's sustainability and security. Henry previously worked as a journalist at The Daily Telegraph and a chef at the Michelin-starred Four Seasons Inn on the Park. In this episode, we talk about the chronic health epidemic associated with our current food system and the actionable steps we can take to improve the health of ourselves and our planet through a system-centric approach. We discuss the importance of educating our children in healthy food for their minds, the risk of drugging our way out of the problem rather than dealing with the root cause and how we could be at the cusp of a new scientific revolution for using big data to understand and address these complex systems. We talk about how people are living in a food ‘swamp' / junk food world and want change, given our children are now predicted to have a lower life expectancy than their parents as a result of the food system messing with our evolutionary feedback loops that govern our behaviour. We also discuss the importance of giving our children the tools to survive in the food swamp, starting with creating a safe environment inside the home, helping our children to learn how to cook food from scratch, as well as different steps you can take as a parent to make food healthy and fun. I loved this episode as we had so much to discuss on the importance of addressing the food system through a system-centric approach.

Dr. Sally discusses the critical signs that you are going into perimenopause and menopause and what factors we can influence to minimize the hormonal rollercoaster, including your stress levels, weight, diet, and gut health, which can lead to emotional symptoms and worsening brain health. She talks about the symptoms experienced as our hormonal levels rise and fall and what you can do to reduce the symptoms you are experiencing. We discuss the impact on the adrenal glands and Hypothalamic-Pituatary-Adrenal (HPA) axis when your stress levels are consistently too high, which can lead to a reduction in the hormones DHEA and oestrogen, resulting in a reduction in brain function when oestrogen is low. She dives into polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), often called the diabetes of the ovaries due to insulin sensitivity, what causes the symptoms you can experience, and what you can do about it, including supplements you can use. I absolutely loved this episode as we had so much to share about helping women manage their female hormonal fluctuations with simple, actionable steps you can take today to manage better any hormonal rollercoaster you are on.
