As an Integrative Health Practitioner I have come to realize that we simply haven't been taught how to optimize our health, and that the average person has habits that are negatively impacting their health, due to this lack of knowledge, through no fault of their own. Public health and our school system simply don't teach us enough about nutrition, sleep, stress, gut health or how interconnected our bodies are! Modern life has us more sleep deprived, stressed out and the sickest ever, and I believe it is time to bring this education to you, so that you CAN be empowered in your health and you can then make the right choices for you and your family. The choices you make today impact your future 1 year, 5 years, 10 years + from now. It is never too early to start looking after your health, as Health is your TRUE wealth....without it what do you have? I use this podcast to support my passion project - non-profit, Girls Matter (www.girlsmatter.ca), breaking the poverty cycle 1 girl, 1 family, 1 village at a time. The mission is to keep girls in school and stop teenage marriages, because school isn’t free in over 50 countries around the world and when parents have to make the difficult choices of feeding their kids or paying for school, food wins. And when the girls hit their teen years, they will often be married off so that someone else becomes responsible to feed them. Keeping girls in school instead creates a generational ripple effect, because an educated girl is more than twice as likely to ensure her own children are educated. Educating girls also grows the GDP of countries, when they get into the workforce. This is how together, we can change the world. Guests on this podcast are invited to donate to this important cause.

    Your Gut Is Talking… Are You Listening? 🌱 With Dr Dean Mitchell | Ep 277
    Jun 27 2026
    Dr Dean Mitchell dives into a powerful integrative approach to healing 🧬 This is where conventional medicine meets functional insight to uncover the root causes of chronic illness. With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Mitchell shares how issues like fatigue, brain fog, and inflammation often trace back to gut dysbiosis 🌱, Candida overgrowth, and microbiome disruption, especially after antibiotics. The conversation explores cutting-edge solutions like sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) 💧 for allergies, along with deep insights into Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) ⚡ and how triggers like mold, infections, and environmental stressors keep the body in a constant state of reactivity. The core message: true healing happens by addressing the root, calming the system, and restoring balance from within ✨Dr Dean Mitchell’s lastest book: Conquering Candida: The 30 day protocolOffers:Our Book (episode 249) - Empowered: The Journey From Victim Island To Solution City: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1989849776?psc=1&smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDpQuantum Life Mastery School: https://amplifyimpactacademy.com/quantum-life-mastery-schoolIntroduction video about Girls Matter: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1R3-xqzJLZW14om1PhFClcU_oRSZ8zgip/viewThe Light Circle Membership:https://amplifyimpactacademy.com/thelightcircle-aligned-coreMeet Your Unconscious Mind Workshop: https://amplifyimpactacademy.com/umFREE 7 Day Trial: NuCalm Products to recalibrate your nervous system / improve your sleep:: https://nucalm.comUse my promo code at checkout: YGHJ to get 15% off your monthly subscription, every month. Episode Summary:Integrative Approach: Dr. Mitchell combines conventional training (allergist/immunologist) with functional medicine to treat complex, chronic conditions, often for patients who have seen many other doctors.Microbiome as Root Cause: He links many chronic issues (fatigue, brain fog) to gut dysbiosis, often triggered by antibiotics or PPIs, and treats it as a clinical diagnosis based on patient history.Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT): Uses SLIT for environmental allergies and to desensitize patients with dangerous food allergies, protecting against accidental exposure.MCAS & Mold: Treats Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), a condition amplified by COVID, by stabilizing mast cells and addressing root triggers like mold exposure.TopicsDr. Mitchell's Integrative JourneyBackground: Board-certified allergist, immunologist, and integrative medicine specialist with 32 years of experience.Motivation: Recognized conventional medicine's limitations after a few years in practice and pursued functional medicine training with his physician wife.Advantage: His medical license enables comprehensive testing to rule out other conditions, providing a unique advantage over non-medical practitioners.Patient Profile: Often serves as the "10th doctor" for patients with complex, undiagnosed issues.The Microbiome & Candida OvergrowthCore Philosophy: All health starts in the gut; gut dysbiosis is a root cause of many chronic illnesses.Candida Overgrowth: A controversial diagnosis in conventional medicine, but a key focus in Dr. Mitchell's practice.Triggers: Often follows courses of antibiotics or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).Symptoms: Chronic fatigue, brain fog, and other non-GI manifestations (leaky gut).Diagnosis: Primarily clinical, based on detailed patient history, as standard lab tests are often unhelpful.Treatment: A multi-pronged approach using vitamin therapy, antifungals, and sublingual immunotherapy.Allergies & Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT)Method: Uses SLIT as a safer, more convenient alternative to allergy injections.Environmental Allergies: Effective for pollen, dander (cats, dogs), and can help reverse asthma.Food Allergies: Treats dangerous food allergies (e.g., peanuts) to desensitize patients.Goal: Protect against accidental exposure, not enable unrestricted consumption.Impact: Significantly improves patient lifestyle and reduces anxiety for parents.Root Causes of Rising Food Allergies:Antibiotic use in infancy.Cesarean births (bypassing beneficial microbes in the birth canal).Diet and environmental toxins.Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)Function of Mast Cells: "Patrol cells" found throughout the body (gut, brain, skin) that release histamine in response to threats.MCAS: Occurs when mast cells are chronically active, causing a wide range of symptoms.COVID-19's Role: The pandemic amplified awareness of MCAS, as infections and vaccines triggered severe reactions in many patients.Treatment Strategy:Stabilize Mast Cells: Use safe, compounded medications.Address Root Cause: Identify and treat the underlying trigger.Common Triggers: Mold exposure, Lyme disease, Candida overgrowth, COVID-19.Analogy: Turn the immune system's "dial" from a constant boil to a gentle simmer by removing the source of aggravation.About the Guest: Dr. Dean Mitchell is a board-certified allergist, immunologist, and ...

After graduating from medical school in 1965, Helene developed severe low back pain during her first pregnancy and lived with it for 37 years. Despite her medical knowledge and a long list of conventional and alternative approaches, lasting relief stayed out of reach until she uncovered a physical cause that had been widely overlooked.Helene explains that a large percentage of low back pain may come from misalignment in the pelvic bones and sacroiliac joints. She shares how this simple mechanical issue can create ongoing pain, why it often goes undetected, and how a quick assessment using the hands can reveal what scans often miss. From that discovery, she developed a simple two-minute exercise that helped many people find fast relief and inspired her book, Low Back Pain: Three Steps to Relief in 2 Minutes.The conversation also explores her work with QR Cream, a mannitol-based topical cream she developed after seeing rapid pain relief through mannitol injections around irritated nerves. Helene shares how the cream performed across many painful conditions and why she is passionate about giving people accessible options beyond medication and surgery. This episode is a hopeful reminder that pain has causes, solutions exist, and simple tools can create life-changing results.Key TakeawaysLow back pain is often labeled “nonspecific.” Helene explains that this can leave many people receiving care that never addresses the actual source.Pelvic alignment may be a major hidden cause. Misalignment in the sacroiliac area can create persistent low back pain.Hands-on assessment matters. Helene highlights the value of physical examination and how much can be learned through touch.A simple two-minute exercise can create significant relief. Her method helped many people quickly reduce pain.Surgery is not always the best first step. Helene encourages people to explore root causes before moving toward invasive procedures.Pregnancy can set the stage for low back pain. Hormonal changes, shifting weight, and ligament laxity can all affect pelvic stability.Support tools can make a real difference. Seat cushions, pelvic support belts, orthotics, and regenerative approaches can all help reduce strain.Topical pain support can be powerful. Her QR Cream showed strong results across many pain conditions.Pain relief improves quality of life. When pain eases, people can walk, move, sleep, and live more freely again.About the Guest:In the last 12 of her 55-year medical practice, Dr. Hélène Bertrand concentrated on treating painful conditions. She developed a mannitol containing cream able to calm the nerves that send pain and itch messages to the brain, QR cream. She found new solutions to many painful conditions including low back pain. Her newest book addresses that pain with a simple 2-minute exercise anyone can do to solve their low back pain without surgery or medication.Contact:Website: https://drhelenebertrand.comQR Cream – purchase on Amazon.About the Host:Melissa is an Integrative Health Practitioner and a Board Designated Master Trainer of Hypnotherapy, Trainer of NLP, Time Line Therapy®, and NLP Results Coaching, helping people get to the root cause of their health issues and then get lasting results.
