Behind many chronic symptoms is one unseen disruptor: your toxic load.
You’ve cleaned up your diet, run the basic labs, maybe even tried supplements,... so why do symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, or hormonal shifts keep lingering? In this conversation, we zoom in on what standard care often misses: the toxins building up in your body and their effects on your gut, brain, and immune system long before a diagnosis ever appears.
Our guest, Dr. Tom O’Bryan, explains why autoimmunity and cognitive decline don’t start overnight and the early patterns for detection He also encourages how specialized tests like the Total Toxin Burden and Neuro Zoomer can uncover root causes that aren’t always obvious, especially when traditional labs come back “normal.”
Tune in to learn how functional medicine can help you identify what’s really driving your symptoms and what you can do about it.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
