Our brain can adapt to our ever-changing environment and has a remarkable ability to heal when placed in the right situation.

Dr. Richard Harris — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 00:00:00 -0400

High blood pressure has become so common that the diagnosis does not even shock or surprise people.

If we do not address the root cause, we will continue to suffer from dysregulated blood pressure. In holistic medicine, we look at high blood pressure as a symptom of an underlying disease; and this episode of the podcast outlines how we holistically approach hypertension with nutrition, stress management, supplementation, and more.

Episode 69 - Metabolism: How We Turn Food Into Energy

Dr. Richard Harris — Wed, 31 Mar 2021 00:00:00 -0400

Metabolism, it's a word that we all know, yet like most things, metabolism can be a very complex subject. Researchers get their PH.D.'s in various aspects of metabolism. Metabolism covers numerous processes in the body, but the one we attribute to the word the most is the generation of energy from food. How we effectively generate energy determines much of our overall mental and physical health. There are numerous reasons why our metabolism may be dysregulated, but fear not, there are several things we can do to improve our energy generation and overall health. This episode dives deep into the process of metabolism, what regulates our metabolism, how the system gets out of whack, and what we can do to help improve the machinery that turns food into energy. This is a transformational episode so grab your favorite single ingredient, the nutrient-dense snack, so you have the energy to listen to it all!

Dr. Richard Harris — Wed, 10 Feb 2021 00:00:00 -0500

The most important decision regarding our health that we make every day is what we decide to use to fuel our bodies. Nutrition is the king of wellness; exercise is the queen. What we use to fuel our bodies; what we use as nourishment can either heal/prevent disease or be the root cause of disease. Culinary medicine is all about using food to nurture and prevent, treat, and reverse disease.

Dr. Michaela Ginn joins the podcast to discuss her transition into culinary medicine, how culinary medicine has impacted her own life, and how she works with her clients to let food be thy medicine indeed.

Episode 56 - Sleep Science: Recovery, Memory, Repair

Dr. Richard Harris — Mon, 11 Jan 2021 00:00:00 -0500

Insomnia and sleep disorders are incredibly prevalent in America. Nearly 70 million Americans have a sleep disorder, insomnia being chief amongst them. 30% of adults report experiencing short term insomnia; 10% report long term insomnia (nearly 33 million adults!). It is recommended that we get 7-9 hours of sleep, yet 35% of adults get less than the recommended amount of sleep. Insomnia, anxiety, and depression rates increased in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, social unrest, and uncertainty in the economy. Lack of sleep and poor sleep quality is associated with numerous chronic diseases, including diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer's, cancer, infections, stress, heart disease & more.

Our "hustle" culture places emphasis on getting things done while sacrificing sleep and rest. Paradoxically lack of sleep impairs our cognition and makes it harder to complete the tasks we set out to accomplish. In this episode, we discuss the anatomy of sleep, why we sleep, the four stages of sleep, REM vs. NREM sleep, circadian rhythms, and holistic strategies to improve your sleep duration and quality.

Episode 54 - Growth Mindset

Dr. Richard Harris — Mon, 04 Jan 2021 16:49:00 -0500

It's that time of year; you know, the one where everyone makes a New Year resolution to lose weight, or eat healthy, or save money. Every year we make resolutions, and every year we don't quite reach the lofty goal we set. There's nothing wrong with having big audacious goals, even during a pandemic. The effects of COVID-19 have made now the most crucial time in history to achieve those self-care and wellness goals. So why do people not succeed in their resolutions? The main answer is that we don't arm ourselves with the tools needed to succeed. The growth mindset is the tool we need to ensure that we achieve every single goal we set for ourselves. Mindset and business coach Alaina Schwartz joins us to discuss how the growth mindset impacts business and health and how you can shift your perspective from the fixed mindset to the growth mindset. This podcast is just what you need to start your 2021 off right!

Before The Ashes Fall is a novel and upcoming film by visionary David Serafine that presents an entirely new perspective on Alzheimer's disease. Before his groundbreaking work, few mainstream entertainment projects had focused on the disease from the vantage point of those most affected by it; the minority community. We had the pleasure of interviewing David about his work and how he plans to utilize the film and book to help raise awareness and help those with this devastating illness.

Episode 49 - Alzheimer's Disease

Dr. Richard Harris — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 10:00:00 -0500

Alzheimer's disease is currently the sixth-leading cause of death in the US, and rates are predicted to triple by 2050. It is a devastating illness, and conventional medicine has made little headway in preventing or treating Alzheimer's disease. According to the literature, 40-45% of the cases are preventable, but holistic physicians think that number is underestimated. Alzheimer's has several root causes, which we discuss in this podcast. We also talk about what you can do to prevent and treat those root causes and how you can treat the disease from a holistic perspective. Alzheimer's is very close to my heart as I have seen the disease firsthand in my grandparents, and I carry a gene that dramatically increases my risk. The strategies mentioned in this podcast are employed in my life to prevent genetic risk from manifesting as disease.

Dr. Richard Harris — Mon, 23 Nov 2020 07:00:00 -0500

Dr. Harris is joined by Dr. Tamara Beckford, an emergency medicine physician, and entrepreneur who sees a bright future for online medicine. Dr. Beckford has been taking care of "urgencies" in the ER that often could be addressed in the outpatient setting; however, our primary care physicians are overloaded and frequently overbooked. These urgencies go untreated and transform into emergencies that land people in the ER. Dr. Beckford asked herself if there was a better way, and if she could help. She harnessed the entrepreneurial spirit to create UR Caring Docs, a telemedicine platform to treat urgencies before becoming emergencies. Learn more about her approach and caring nature in this episode of the Strive for Great Health Podcast.

Episode 39 - Immune System Balance

Dr. Richard Harris — Wed, 21 Oct 2020 10:00:00 -0400

The term "immune" system is casually tossed around; however, what the immune system does is not common knowledge. Our immune system has numerous functions, from repair and recovery to seeking out and destroying foreign invaders. COVID-19 exposed a crisis in the immune systems of your average American. Our lifestyles and habits wreck the immune system, which causes dysregulation and improper immune balance. An underactive immune system is a problem, but so is an immune system that is too vigilant. This episode discusses how our immune system works, its job is in regards to our overall health, and how you balance the immune system to handle its numerous different functions.
