The path to lowering antibodies isn’t always quick, but it becomes clearer once you know which five areas matter most.

In this conversation, I walk through what thyroid antibodies actually mean and why they can fluctuate from one test to the next. I then break down five approaches that consistently make a difference, strengthening the foundations of health, addressing personal triggers, supporting gut health, reducing oxidative stress, and understanding when something like Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) might play a role. The goal is to help you see where your efforts matter most and why a layered approach usually works better than relying on a single strategy.

If you’ve been trying to make sense of your antibodies or you’re looking for next steps, you’ll find this episode helpful to listen to.

What happens when even surgery and supplements can’t get a broken bone to heal?

When Dr. Ben Weitz fractured his femur and was told it might never heal, he turned to the same principles he’s used with patients for decades: ‘root cause, functional medicine’ thinking. In this conversation, he shares how he designed a bone-healing protocol that combined targeted nutrition, vitamin K2 and vitamin D optimization, growth factors, and the right kind of exercise stimulus.

We also discuss why bone loss and osteoporosis aren’t just ‘aging issues’, how testing like trabecular bone scores can reveal what DEXA scans miss, and why many medications block bone repair instead of rebuilding it. The story offers a powerful look at how science, persistence, and patient intuition can work together to restore strength naturally.

If you’ve ever worried about bone density, fractures, or slow healing, this episode will help you understand what your bones really need to rebuild safely and effectively.
