There’s one gut bacterium getting a lot of attention in the research world—and for good reason.In this episode, we’re diving into Akkermansia muciniphila, a key microbe that plays a major role in gut lining integrity, metabolic health, and overall inflammation balance. Often referred to as a “beneficial” bacteria, Akkermansia has been linked to improved insulin sensitivity, weight regulation, and a stronger gut barrier.Pendulum Labs Akkermansia linked in my fullscript 15% offFollow me on socials @drhalieschoff

Sound healing—especially sound baths—works by using acoustic vibrations to affect the body and mind. These sounds can actually influence brainwave patterns and the nervous system. Research shows that slow, rhythmic, low-frequency tones can help shift the brain into alpha and theta states, which are linked to deep relaxation and a calmer response to stress. This down regulation of the sympathetic nervous system can help to lower cortisol levels, support vagal tone, and create optimal physiological conditions that are more conducive to recovery, regulation, and overall homeostasis. Tina Pierce is an Intuitive Sound Practitioner, Spiritual Life Guide, and Certified Yoga Teacher from the Finger Lakes Region of New York. She is deeply passionate about sound frequency in relation to cellular healing, self discovery, stillness, and activation energy work, having seen their power first-hand through her own transformative journey. Her work weaves together sound, movement, and intuitive guidance to support you in slowing down, releasing what no longer serves you, and reconnecting with your own inner clarity.Tina's website

Iron deficiency is often treated with supplements—but what if that’s only addressing part of the picture?In this episode, we’re diving into the deeper root causes of low iron, including how gut dysfunction and bacterial overgrowth can interfere with iron absorption and keep your levels stuck no matter how much you supplement.If you’ve been dealing with persistent low iron, fatigue, or symptoms that aren’t improving, this episode will help you start looking in the right place.We’ll cover:Why iron deficiency isn’t always a dietary issueHow gut health impacts iron absorptionThe connection between bacterial overgrowth and low ironSigns your gut may be contributing to your deficiencyA more root-cause approach to restoring healthy iron levelsIf you’re ready to take a deeper look at your nutrition and uncover what might be holding your body back, I’m now offering a Nutrition Audit—a personalized review of your diet, patterns, and potential gaps to help you optimize your health from a root-cause perspective.This is designed to give you clear, actionable insight into what your body actually needs—especially if you feel like you’re doing “all the right things” but not seeing results.Work with meParasite cleansing

In this episode, we’re breaking down the nuance behind comedogenic ingredients, why they aren’t inherently “bad,” and how your individual skin type, barrier health, and formulation all play a role in whether a product will actually break you out.I also dive into some of the new skincare products right now and share cleaner, more skin-supportive alternatives—so you can make swaps without sacrificing results.We’ll cover:What “pore-clogging” really means (and why it’s not one-size-fits-all)Why ingredient lists alone don’t tell the full storyThe role of skin barrier health in breakoutsHow to assess if a product is actually right for YOUCleaner dupes for trending skincare productsIf you’ve been avoiding ingredients out of fear or feeling overwhelmed by conflicting information, this episode will help you make more confident, informed decisions about your skincare.Learn how to work with your skin—not against it.My clean skin and beauty favorites linked HERE

In this episode, we explore how infrared sauna use and infrared light therapy can support hormonal balance and mental health. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared heat penetrates the body more deeply at lower temperatures, helping activate the parasympathetic nervous system and reduce cortisol levels. This stress-lowering effect plays a key role in supporting hormones, including thyroid function, insulin sensitivity, and overall endocrine balance.Infrared light therapy, particularly red and near-infrared wavelengths, works at the cellular level by boosting mitochondrial function and increasing energy production (ATP). This can enhance recovery, reduce inflammation, and support brain health. These cellular benefits may also contribute to improved mood, with research suggesting positive effects on anxiety, depression, and neurotransmitter balance.Both infrared sauna and light therapy can promote endorphin release, improve circulation, and support better sleep—key factors for mental clarity and emotional well-being. When used consistently and alongside healthy lifestyle habits, they can be powerful tools for managing stress, optimizing hormones, and enhancing overall resilience.Connie Zack is the co-founder of Sunlighten, the global leader in infrared sauna and light therapy. Inspired by her brother's health transformation, she and her husband, Aaron, left successful pharmaceutical careers to revolutionize the industry with science-backed innovations. Connie is a pioneer in infrared light technology, driving widespread education on its benefits through collaborative partnerships. A passionate advocate for holistic health, Connie integrates nutrition, exercise, mindfulness, and infrared therapy into her life. As a mother, wife, wellness enthusiast, entrepreneur, she brings light, hope and happiness to the world through her expertise in how infrared light and heat impacts healthy lifespan. Shop Sunlighten Saunas (mention me for a discount!)

In this episode, we simplify what it really looks like to start a low-tox lifestyle—without the overwhelm. After 10+ years on this journey, the biggest takeaway is that it’s not about perfection, but small, sustainable changes over time.We begin with what you use most daily, like personal care and cleaning products, with a major focus on reducing synthetic fragrance. From there, we cover the importance of filtering your water and being mindful of what you drink and eat out of, aiming to reduce plastic exposure where possible.The key approach is to swap products as you run out rather than replacing everything at once. This keeps the process realistic, affordable, and long-lasting. At the end of the day, it’s about simple steps that support your health and your family—done consistently over time.Clean and low tox brands I love Sharing my favorites on my socials @drhalieschoff

Castor oil has been around for centuries, but it’s having a serious resurgence in the wellness world. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Marisol to break down what castor oil actually does — no hype, no magical claims — just physiology, clinical insight, and practical application.We unpack how castor oil may support the nervous system through intentional touch and parasympathetic activation, why castor oil packs are still widely used in holistic practice, and what’s realistic when it comes to beauty and anti-aging claims.If you’ve been seeing castor oil all over social media and wondering whether it’s worth incorporating — this is your grounded breakdown.Connect with Dr. Marisol @bewellqueen and follow @queenofthethrones Get Queen of the Thrones with a discount HERE

In this episode I am chatting about one of the most overlooked foundations of preconception health: your nervous system.So often, the focus is entirely on hormones, supplements, and lab testing — but your nervous system is the lens through which your body interprets safety. And safety is essential for optimal hormone signaling, ovulation, and creating an environment supportive of pregnancy.I’m sharing some of my favorite simple, practical tools I’m personally prioritizing in this season, and with many of my preconception clients, to help shift the body out of chronic stress and into a more regulated, resilient state.These are not complicated protocols — they’re small, consistent signals of safety to your body.If you’re in a preconception season, or simply working toward better hormone balance, these practices can be powerful additions to your foundation.Red light shower protocol Castor oil Clean brands I love Follow on socials @drhalieschoff

Red light therapy is everywhere right now — from skincare devices to sauna rooms to $20 bulbs online.But not all “red light” is created equal.In this episode of Alpha Health and Wellness Radio, I’m breaking down the real science behind:Red LED lightNear-infrared (NIR) lightIncandescent red heat bulbsBecause they are not the same thing — and they do very different things in the body.If you’ve been wondering whether you need a panel, if a sauna bulb is enough, or which wavelengths actually matter for hormones, skin, recovery, or thyroid health — this episode will clear it up.Red light (630–660 nm)Best for skin, collagen, acne, surface-level healing.Near-infrared (810–880 nm)Penetrates deeper — ideal for joints, muscle recovery, brain health, thyroid, and systemic inflammation.Incandescent red bulbsPrimarily provide heat and circulation benefits — not precise mitochondrial stimulation.If you’re going to invest, combining red + near-infrared wavelengths gives you both surface and deep tissue benefits.Red light devices I likeBoncharge (panel and face mask, red light lamp/bulbs code drhalie) Biolight (code drhalie) Fringe (red/blue mask, wraps code drhalie10)Lumebox mini panelHigher Dose blanket My red light protocol

In this episode of Alpha Health and Wellness Radio, I dive into one of the most requested topics lately — peptides. What they are, how they work, who they’re for, and where the conversation is getting overhyped.I break down the difference between regenerative support and biohacking culture, and where peptides may have a role in tissue repair, performance, longevity, and metabolic health — when used appropriately and under guidance.Then we shift into a live Q&A where I answer your questions on some of my favorite wellness topics.PeptidesWhat peptides actually are (and what they’re not)Common types used for recovery, metabolism, and cognitive supportWho should consider them — and who shouldn’tThe importance of medical oversight and realistic expectationsHome Water FiltersWhy water quality matters more than most people thinkWhat to look for in a filtration systemThe difference between basic filters vs. comprehensive systemsWhy remineralization is often overlookedCastor Oil Packs While TTCWhen they may be supportiveWhen to pause during your cycleHow castor oil may support lymphatic flow and circulationBrain Health & MemoryFoundational habits that matter more than supplementsElectrolytes I love Why I love them especially for postpartum The connection between stress, sodium, and adrenal outputWhen electrolytes are helpful — and when they’re unnecessaryWhat to look for (and avoid) in electrolyte productsFavorite nontoxic brandsMy website www.drhalieschoff.comInstagram @drhalieschoff

In this episode of Alpha Health and Wellness Radio, I sit down with my friend Chelsea, founder of a locally sourced, grass-fed beef organ supplement made right here in the Finger Lakes.We break down why organ meats were once considered sacred foods in traditional cultures — and why they may be one of the most nutrient-dense tools we’re overlooking in modern wellness.If you’ve ever been curious about liver, heart, or kidney but don’t know where to start (or you’re not exactly excited to cook them), this conversation is for you.Why organ meats are considered nature’s multivitaminThe difference between grass-fed, locally sourced organs vs. conventionalWho may benefit most from beef organ supportHow soil quality and sourcing matterWhy nose-to-tail eating supports sustainability and mineral balanceHow to incorporate ancestral eating into busy family lifeSimple, nourishing meals the whole family will actually enjoyWe also talk practically about what it looks like to prioritize nutrient-dense meals without overcomplicating your life — because real wellness has to work for families.Chelsea shares her heart behind creating a product that supports local farmers while making ancestral nutrition accessible and convenient.If you’re looking to build meals around protein, minerals, and real food foundations — this episode will give you clarity and confidence.Little Fisher Farmhouse based in Fishers, New York, was founded by functional nutrition practitioner, ancestral food blogger, and food-as-medicine advocate Chelsea Rose and her husband, Max. Together, they created Offally Good Grass-Fed Organs: a whole-food supplement originally crafted to support Chelsea's body during her childbearing years. After experiencing how good they felt, they knew they had to share these little capsules of vitality with others. These nutrient dense capsules feed the mitochondria- supporting energy, mental clarity and inviting you to feel and live optimally. Max and Chelsea are deeply devoted to creating a whole-food supplement with small batch integrity, grounded in holistic farming practices and a deep respect for the interconnectedness of all life - honoring both the animal and the harvest.

She is passionate about empowering women to take control of their health and take charge of their wellness journeys with personalized, compassionate care. She brings balance to the low-tox world and educates people around a wide array of topics, ranging from environmental toxins to healthy hormones, and she will forever encourage women to advocate for themselves and require informed consent in every step of their healthcare journey. Carly is a self-proclaimed crunchy mom of 1 with another on the way! In this episode, we explore the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) and how cycle tracking can be used for both pregnancy prevention and conception by understanding real-time hormonal patterns—not guesswork. We discuss what true cycle literacy looks like, common misconceptions around FAM, and why tracking biomarkers like basal body temperature and cervical fluid gives women more data, not more pressure. We also have an honest conversation about home birth—who it may be appropriate for, how proper screening and support matter, and why safety is about preparation, not location alone. This episode is for anyone curious about stepping into a more informed, intentional relationship with their cycle and birth experience—without fear, dogma, or extremes.Follow Carly on instagram @cleanlivingwithcarlyTempdrop cycle tracker code DRHALIEShow clean and low tox favorites

In this episode, I’m walking through my current skin routine—the topicals I’m using and loving for acne scars, barrier repair, dry skin, and calming hormonal breakouts. We talk about why gentle, supportive products matter more than aggressive “fix-it” formulas and how I choose topicals that work with the skin, not against it. I also share simple, realistic tips to support lymphatic flow for hormonal acne—because congestion, inflammation, and poor drainage play a much bigger role in breakouts than most people realize. And of course, we connect the dots between gut health and skin, explaining how digestion, detox pathways, and inflammation show up on your face even when your routine looks “clean.” If your skin feels stuck in a flare cycle, this episode will help you simplify, support, and heal more strategically.Shop my favorites mentioned in this episode HERE Work with meAccess to skin clearing webinars and protocolsFollow along on socials @drhalieschoff

Nervous system regulation isn’t just about breathwork, cold exposure, or calming rituals. Those tools matter—but they’re only half the equation. In this episode, we break down why true nervous system support is a two-way street: regulating the system and removing the internal stressors that keep the body stuck in survival mode. Dr. Halie talks about how things like gut infections, parasites, mold exposure, chronic inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies quietly drive fight-or-flight, making regulation practices feel ineffective or short-lived. If you’re doing “all the right things” but still feel wired, tired, or inflamed, this episode explains why—and what a more honest, root-cause approach to nervous system healing actually looks like.Work with me HEREMinerals and Chill link (code drhalie10) Clean brands, supplements, non tox staples I love Connect with us on social media @drhalieschoff

In this conversation with the founder of Boroux, we dig into why clean water is foundational for health, what most people overlook about filtration, and how the materials inside your filter can make or break its effectiveness.Why Filtering Your Water MattersMunicipal systems only address basic safety, not long-term exposure. Trace chemicals, microplastics, heavy metals, chlorine byproducts, pesticides, and pharmaceutical residues slip through. Your body deals with these daily, and reducing that load makes a real difference in energy, inflammation, and overall resilience.Not all filters are created with safe, stable components. Cheap plastics can leach into the water you’re trying to clean, and low-grade metals or resins can introduce new contaminants. Boroux uses high-integrity materials designed to stay inert, durable, and non-reactive—meaning the water stays as clean as the filter promises.How Carbon Filtration Actually WorksActivated carbon acts like a molecular sponge. Its porous structure traps contaminants through adsorption, binding them to the carbon surface. It’s especially good at reducing chlorine, VOCs, organic compounds, and improving taste and odor. When paired with high-quality materials and proper flow design, carbon filtration becomes one of the most reliable ways to clean everyday drinking water.Shop Boroux filters and glass products--code drhalie10 Key TakeawaysClean water isn’t optional—it's the foundation of metabolic and cellular health.The filter’s materials matter just as much as the filtration method.Activated carbon is powerful when used correctly and supported by quality build design.Boroux’s approach focuses on purity from the inside out.Follow Boroux on socials Follow and support the show @drhalieschoffClean and low tox brands I love
