  • The Brain Fog Fix: How to Rewire Your Mind and Reclaim Your Focus with Judy Gaman

    The Brain Fog Fix: How to Rewire Your Mind and Reclaim Your Focus with Judy Gaman
    Feb 11 2026
    #198 - The Brain Fog Fix: How to Rewire Your Mind and Reclaim Your Focus with Judy Gaman Pretty Well Podcast: Judy Gaman on Brain Optimization, Longevity & Cognitive Health What if your brain fog, fatigue, or “I just can’t focus” moments aren’t about age — but small, daily habits that for the most part, go unnoticed? In this week’s Pretty Well episode, I sit down with Judy Gaman, CEO of Executive Medicine of Texas, bestselling author, frequent healthy living expert on Fox News Radio, and host of Stay Young America. Judy is a powerhouse in preventive medicine, longevity, and brain optimization — and she’s sharing what she’s learned from decades of helping high-performing patients reclaim their energy, clarity, and focus. We talk about everything from brain mapping and neurofeedback to why multitasking is wrecking your nervous system (and what to do instead). Judy also shares incredible insights from her late 100-year-old best friend, Lucille — including how connection, laughter, and purpose might just be the most powerful medicine of all. This conversation is equal parts science, story, and soul — with plenty of practical steps you can start today to keep your brain sharp for decades to come and live a life of joy. ⏰ Timestamps: 00:00 – The truth about “drug and drop” medicine vs. true prevention 02:45 – Why personalized goals are the foundation of lasting wellness 06:50 – How brain mapping and neurofeedback reveal hidden stress patterns 10:30 – The link between grief, trauma, and cognitive decline 19:30 – How to reset your nervous system in a world that never stops 23:00 – Neuroplasticity: how your brain can actually heal itself 28:45 – The science of laughter, positivity, and emotional healing 31:00 – Artificial sweeteners, gut-brain health, and shocking research from Harvard 38:45 – Lessons from Lucille: brain longevity from a 100-year-old firecracker 42:15 – Finding purpose, giving back, and keeping your brain young 💡 You’ll Learn: The real reason your brain feels foggy — and what your phone has to do with itHow brain mapping can reveal the effects of grief, trauma, and overworkWhy multitasking is one of the biggest lies we’ve been soldThe five daily habits that sharpen focus and slow cognitive agingThe surprising research on artificial sweeteners and brain confusionHow laughter, purpose, and community literally rewire your brain for health 🌿 Empowering Takeaway: You don’t need a total life overhaul to protect your brain — you need awareness, intention, and small daily choices that nurture your nervous system instead of draining it. Healing your brain begins when you slow down, tune in, and remember that your body is wired to repair itself when given the chance. 🎧 Listen now to rediscover your focus, vitality, and purpose — and to be reminded that midlife isn’t the beginning of decline.

    How to Reverse Bone Loss Naturally — With 4 Clinically Proven Nutrients to Prevent Fractures
    Feb 4 2026
    #197 - How to Reverse Bone Loss Naturally — With 4 Clinically Proven Nutrients to Prevent Fractures. Interview with Dr. John Neustadt Why Calcium Isn’t the Answer to Strong Bones (and What Actually Is) — with Dr. John Neustadt If you’ve ever been told, “Just take calcium for your bones,” this episode is going to blow your mind. Lisa sits down with Dr. John Neustadt, naturopathic doctor, bestselling author of Fracture-Proof Your Bones, and founder of NBI Health, to uncover what really causes — and reverses — osteoporosis. It turns out, bone health isn’t just about bone density. And the scary truth? The standard “treatments” may actually make bones more brittle. From medication-induced bone loss to how to choose supplements that actually work (and aren’t a waste of money), Dr. Neustadt breaks down the science in a way that’s refreshingly clear — and shockingly empowering. You’ll learn: 🦴 Why bone density tests miss more than half of people at risk for fractures 💊 The most common meds (SSRIs, PPIs, and even osteoporosis drugs!) that destroy bone 🥦 The diet that reduces fracture risk by 20% — and the one that speeds up bone loss 🏋️‍♀️ The #1 exercise most women shouldn’t do if they have osteoporosis 🔬 The 4 nutrients clinically shown to reduce fractures — not just improve bone density 🧠 Why magnesium might be a must for mood, sleep, and energy — but not for bones ☀️ How to use vitamin D, calcium, and K2 (MK-4 form only!) to actually build strong bones ⚠️ The truth about strontium supplements — and why he refuses to recommend them This is one of those episodes you’ll want to save, share, and send to every woman you know over 40. ⏰ Timestamps 03:00 – Why bone density isn’t the full story 06:30 – The shocking problem with SSRIs and bone loss 07:30 – PPIs, Fosamax, and the medications that make bones weaker 10:00 – The real goal: fracture prevention, not bone density 12:00 – Why most osteoporosis drugs fail — and how to ask your doctor the right questions 18:00 – When medications make sense — and when to skip them 21:00 – How much protein you really need for strong bones (and it’s more than you think) 24:00 – The exercise myth that’s breaking women’s backs 28:00 – The one “core workout” to avoid if you have osteoporosis 32:00 – The real reason calcium supplements don’t work — and what to do instead 36:00 – The four nutrients that actually reduce fracture risk 40:00 – How to find the right calcium + K2 + D3 combo (and why MK-4 matters) 43:00 – The easiest way to know how much calcium you really need 51:00 – How to build your own bone-strengthening lifestyle 52:00 – The link between sleep, social connection, and fracture recovery 53:00 – Where to get Dr. Neustadt’s book and resources 🔗 Resources & Links (As An Amazon Associate I Earn A Small Commission From Qualifying Purchases At No Extra Cost To You): Dr. John Neustadt’s website: https://www.nbihealth.com/ Dr. John Neustadt’s book - Fracture Proof Your Bones: https://amzn.to/4nPicKR Dr. John Neustadt’s Bone Health supplements: https://amzn.to/43ECcrZ Pure Encapsulations Magnesium Glycinate: https://amzn.to/47vBX3D 💥 Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments! 🎙 Subscribe, Share & Review: If you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

  • Stop Hair Loss: Hormones, Stress & What Actually Works

    Stop Hair Loss: Hormones, Stress & What Actually Works
    Jan 28 2026
    #196 - Stop Hair Loss: Hormones, Stress & What Actually Works Hair loss isn’t just cosmetic — it’s a biological signal. And if you’ve ever watched clumps of hair collect in the shower, you know exactly how unsettling hair shedding can be. In this deeply personal episode, Lisa breaks down hair loss causes, why it often shows up during already stressful seasons of life, and what actually helps reverse it — without panic, gimmicks, or jumping straight to pharmaceuticals. Drawing from both functional medicine research and lived experience, this episode connects the dots between stress hormones, DHT, thyroid health, inflammation, nutrition, and insulin resistance — and explains why hair loss is rarely about “just hair.” If you’ve been told it’s genetic and there’s nothing you can do… this conversation may change everything. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why up to 40% of women experience hair loss — and why it often hits during perimenopause, menopause, post-partum, or prolonged stressThe difference between autoimmune hair loss, hormone-driven hair loss, and stress-induced sheddingHow cortisol, insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, and DHT quietly sabotage hair growthThe most common everyday habits that worsen hair loss (even when you’re doing “everything right”)Evidence-backed lifestyle shifts, foods, supplements, and scalp strategies that actually support regrowthWhat finally helped Lisa stop excessive shedding after a major life transition — and why consistency matters more than perfection This is a compassionate, science-backed roadmap for anyone who’s tired of feeling scared, frustrated, or alone in their hair loss journey — and wants real answers that address the root cause. Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Why hair loss often shows up during stress, grief, or hormonal change 04:45 – What’s normal shedding vs. a red flag 09:15 – The two main categories of hair loss (and why it matters) 13:30 – Hormones, DHT, and why women lose hair differently than men 19:45 – Lifestyle habits quietly damaging hair growth 26:30 – Nutrition for hair regrowth: what actually helps 31:45 – Supplements that support hair (without pill overload) 37:30 – Scalp care, circulation, and what finally stopped the shedding Final takeaway: Hair loss is rarely random — and it’s almost never “just aging.” It’s information. When you listen to the signals your body is sending and address the root causes, regrowth is often possible. And just as importantly, you’re not broken — you’re responding to stress, change, and biology in a very human way. If you or someone you love is quietly panicking every time you wash your hair, this one’s for you.
