Apologies if this is the wrong section for this question or if it's been covered before. Later this week I have an appointment for a physical with a new primary care doctor assigned to me through my Obamacare (Kaiser) insurance. (I'm between jobs now so no longer have my previous insurance.) Besides...

I liked that Chris Kresser/ Dr. Hyman interview as well! I also just really appreciate Kresser's uber-calm personality and attitude and find listening to him very relaxing, so I tend to usually listen to his latest podcast unless it happens to be on a topic I have zero interest in. I am a bit of a p...

I really enjoyed this recent podcast which included Rebecca Katz of the Healthy Mind Cookbook (which I love!): http://tns.commonweal.org/podcasts/akil-palanisamy/#.V1tRhVdlnVo The actual subject of the interview is Dr. Akil Palanisamy and his new book, the Paleovedic Diet, but Rebecca helps to inter...

Circular, I would love more info about this too! Just yesterday I got back some lab tests after approximately 9 months of supplements and food/water recommendations to reduce a high serum copper level per the Walsh protocol. Last August, my serum copper was 134 ug/dL, which according to the Walsh wo...

Welcome, Paula!

Wow, your meals look delicious! Kudos to you for feeding yourself well.

I spoke with Dr. Zallen last week and it was great. For privacy I took the call in the parking lot of one of my favorite open space hiking spots, then afterwards went for a long hike, mulling over what I had said and what she had said. Her kindness and compassion are palpable over the phone. I joked...

Judihook, thanks again for posting the link. I just listened to the interview and it was really great. Other people may be more familiar with Dr. Bredesen's theories, but for me this was a great introduction. Plus, I feel increased hope knowing such a gifted guy is on the case for us!

Thanks, Stavia and Tiramisu. Tiramisu, I haven't mentioned the testing and special supplements I've been doing to the Ob-gyn I've visited for check-ups over the years. I haven't visited a doctor besides her for years. I guess after trying conventional medical treatment for depression years ago and f...
