    84. Why GLP-1 & other Peptides Work Better With Chinese Medicine, with Dr. Yi Song
    2026/06/07
    If you've ever wondered why you keep getting the same symptoms on repeat, no matter what you try, this episode is going to shift something for you. Dr. Yi Song joins Dr. Carver for a conversation that bridges 17 generations of Traditional Chinese Medicine wisdom with some of the most cutting-edge longevity science available today, and the through-line is surprisingly simple: when you understand your body's constitution, everything else starts to make sense.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why your body type, or constitution, is the foundation of everything in Chinese medicine, and how identifying yours can help you get ahead of symptoms before they become serious conditions.How the tongue reveals what's happening in your digestive system, your liver, your hormones, and even your emotional health, and why dentists like Dr. Carver are uniquely positioned to spot these patterns.Why skin conditions like eczema, acne, and psoriasis are rooted in digestive weakness and damp heat in the body, and what Chinese medicine does differently than a cortisone prescription.How stem cell therapy maps onto Chinese medicine philosophy, specifically the concept of replenishing declining kidney energy, and why starting in your 30s and 40s matters more than waiting.What micro-dosing GLP-1 peptides actually looks like when used intentionally for anti-aging, and why high doses may be doing more harm than good.About Dr. Yi Song:Dr. Yi Song is a Boston-based Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner with 25 years of clinical experience and 17 generations of TCM lineage in her family. She integrates stem cell therapy, herbal medicine, acupuncture, and holistic longevity protocols to help people live healthier, longer. She is also the author of the upcoming book Heartbound and the Abridged Six Principles to Natural Longevity, available now on Amazon.Key Insights:One of the most grounding ideas Dr. Song shares is the concept of the body as a garden, not a machine. In Western medicine, we tend to wait for a part to break and then replace it. But in Chinese medicine, the whole irrigation system matters. A blockage somewhere upstream, often tied to emotional stress or long-term imbalance, can show up as a completely unrelated symptom somewhere else in the body. That's why a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment so often misses the mark.Dr. Song also unpacks why peptides like GLP-1 have real merit when used thoughtfully. The problem isn't the peptide itself, it's the dosing. At high doses, GLP-1 can impair the digestive system and cause muscle wasting, two things that in Chinese medicine represent a direct hit to your body's core energy. At micro-doses, the anti-aging effects are meaningful and far gentler on the system. She shares that she uses one milligram per week herself, sometimes less, as part of a broader longevity protocol.Perhaps the most personal thread in this conversation is the discussion of inherited chi, the prenatal life force energy we receive from our ancestors. If your parents or grandparents carried depletion, you may have started with a lower energy reserve than others. But Dr. Song is clear: it is never too late, and never too early, to begin rebuilding. Her own mother's recovery from severe osteoporosis and chronic leg pain, using a combination of TCM, stem cell therapy, and targeted herbal support, is living proof of that.Connect With Dr. Yi Song: Want to know your body's constitution and what you can do right now to get ahead of aging, fatigue, or chronic symptoms?

  • 83. Is Your Child's Gut Wrecking Their Teeth, Immunity, and Brain, with Dr. Elisa Song

    83. Is Your Child's Gut Wrecking Their Teeth, Immunity, and Brain, with Dr. Elisa Song
    2026/05/24
    The only pediatric doctor formulated probiotic and supplement for kids: microbiome-magic The test for your child's microbiome: https://www.tinyhealth.com/If you've ever done everything "right" for your kids, clean eating, good hygiene, regular checkups, and still watched them struggle with cavities, ear infections, big tonsils, or just getting sick over and over again, this conversation is going to stop you in your tracks. Because the answer isn't in the toothbrush. It isn't in the antibiotic. It starts in the gut, and it shows up everywhere.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why tooth decay in children is not a hygiene problem but a sign that the immune system and microbiome are out of balance, and what to do about it.How the oral microbiome and gut microbiome are in constant conversation, and why disrupting one affects the other, and ultimately the whole child.What early warning signs like mouth breathing, enlarged tonsils, frequent ear infections, and bad breath are actually telling you about your child's gut health.Which foundational lab tests Dr. Song recommends for children and teenagers, including why fasting insulin and cholesterol are two markers most pediatricians aren't checking but probably should be.The three microbiome champion food categories most kids are missing, and the key nutrients almost every child needs more of, even the healthy eaters.About Dr. Elisa Song: Dr. Elisa Song is a Stanford, NYU, and UCSF-trained integrative pediatrician, pediatric functional medicine expert, and the founder of Healthy Kids Happy Kids. She is the author of the Healthy Kids Happy Kids book and the creator of a clinically backed pediatric supplement line designed to fill both the nutritional and microbiome gaps in children's diets. She is also the Chief Medical Officer for Tiny Health, a microbiome testing company with age-appropriate reference ranges for babies and children. Dr. Song has spent over two decades helping families prevent and reverse chronic childhood illness by getting to the root.Key Insights:One of the most important reframes in this conversation is that cavities are not a brushing problem. They are a terrain problem. When the oral microbiome is off, when pathogenic bacteria are overpowering the beneficial ones, decay follows. And the oral microbiome doesn't exist in isolation. It's in constant crosstalk with the gut, the immune system, the sinuses, and even the developing brain. So when a child has a mouthful of cavities despite a health-conscious home, the question to ask isn't what are they eating. It's what is their body doing with it.Dr. Song and Dr. Carver also dig into something that doesn't get nearly enough airtime in conventional pediatrics, which is that chronic childhood symptoms like enlarged tonsils, mouth breathing, frequent ear infections, and recurring congestion are immune signals, not just developmental quirks. They are the body asking for help. And in many cases, the gut microbiome is the place to start looking for answers.Perhaps the most powerful moment in this episode is the conversation around autoimmunity starting decades before a diagnosis. Research shows that autoimmune antibody rates in teenagers have been rising steadily since the 1980s. These kids don't have a disease yet, but their immune system is already raising its hand. The encouraging news, and both Dr. Song and Dr. Carver are clear about this, is that we can course correct. Supporting the gut microbiome, optimizing nutrition, and calming the nervous system are not just wellness trends. They are genuinely preventive medicine.Resources Mentioned: [Placeholder: Add any books, tools, or links mentioned in this episode, including Dr. Song's book Healthy Kids Happy Kids and the Tiny Health microbiome test.]Connect With Dr. Elisa Song: Website: healthyhappykids.com Instagram: @healthykids_happykidsThe only pediatric doctor formulated probiotic and supplement for kids: microbiome-magic Test your child's microbiome: https://www.tinyhealth.com/FREE How to Reverse Gum Disease in 6 Weeks: ReverseGumDiseaseConnect With Dr. Rachaele Carver: Join the 6-Week Gum Disease CourseBook Your Personalized ConsultationSubscribe and Leave a Review: If this episode spoke to something you've been carrying as a parent, please share it with a mom who needs to hear it, and if you haven't already, subscribe and leave a review so more families can find this conversation.Disclaimer: This podcast is for educational purposes only.

  • 82. Ozone Therapy & What Your Hygienist Isn't Telling You, with Brenda Powers, RDHAP

    82. Ozone Therapy & What Your Hygienist Isn't Telling You, with Brenda Powers, RDHAP
    2026/05/10

    If you've ever thought "it's just a cleaning, I can skip it," this episode is going to change the way you see that appointment forever. The hygiene visit is so much more than polishing teeth. It's one of the most powerful windows into your whole-body health, and most people have no idea what they're missing. Dr. Rachaele Carver sits down with Brenda Powers, RDHAP, a biological dental hygienist in Southern California, to pull back the curtain on what a truly comprehensive hygiene appointment can look like, and why it may be one of the most important health visits you make all year.

    What You'll Learn in This Episode:

    • A biological hygienist doesn't just check your gums, she's reading your posture, your skin tone, your breathing, your sleep, and your stress levels from the moment you sit down in the chair.
    • Salivary diagnostics can identify the specific pathogens living in your mouth, including bacteria linked to heart disease, Alzheimer's, and type 2 diabetes, even when your mouth looks "healthy."
    • Biofilm is the sticky matrix where bacteria live and multiply on your teeth, and managing it daily at home is just as important as what happens in the office.
    • Ozone therapy is a safe, non-surgical tool that kills harmful bacteria, promotes tissue healing, and can help patients get off the deep cleaning hamster wheel for good.
    • Collagen, vitamin C, vitamin D, B complex, magnesium, and zinc are among the key nutrients that directly support gum and bone health, and most of us aren't getting enough from food alone.
