The Dr. Terri Show

Your child's "ADHD," your brain fog, your hormone imbalances — they may all trace back to one root cause that almost nobody is checking. And it starts with how your face grew. This episode is for anyone who has been told their sleep test came back "normal" but still wakes up exhausted — and especially for parents watching their kids struggle with hyperactivity, behavioral issues, or restless nights. If you've handed a child a melatonin gummy and wondered whether there's a better answer, this conversation is for you. Dr. Terri sits down with Adam, CEO and founder of Rebus Health, a multidisciplinary sleep wellness center built on the radical premise that the question isn't just how you're sleeping — it's why you're not. Adam's team brings together sleep specialists, airway dentists, and functional medicine providers under one roof to get to the anatomical, hormonal, and systemic root causes of sleep-disordered breathing in adults and children alike. What you'll discover: Why the standard sleep apnea test misses the majority of women and why a "normal" result doesn't mean you don't have a problem (~24:31) The critical link between sleep deprivation and hormone disruption — and why optimizing hormones alone may not be enough (~24:31) What brain fog, daytime fatigue, and decreased executive function really signal — and the long-term cognitive consequences of leaving them unaddressed (~18:09) How wearables like the Oura Ring can be genuinely useful — and when they're creating unnecessary anxiety (~27:22) The truth about melatonin, CBD, THC, and sleep gummies: what the research actually shows, and why children should not be taking melatonin at all (~30:41) The shocking pre-industrial shift in facial anatomy — and how processed food, formula feeding, and modern orthodontics are narrowing our airways and setting our children up for a lifetime of sleep problems (~37:45) Why 78% of kids diagnosed with ADHD also have an underlying sleep disturbance — and why no one is connecting the dots (~41:03) The tongue tie and lip tie epidemic: why early release matters, why it fell out of practice, and what proper intervention actually looks like at every age (~44:26) The bottom line: sleep disturbances are not a minor inconvenience — they are a root cause of metabolic disease, cardiovascular risk, cognitive decline, and behavioral disorders. The earlier you intervene, the more you can change the trajectory. -- The Dr. Terri Show is presented by Evexias Health Solutions.

ou've said it. You've heard it. Maybe your daughter said it at dinner last week: "There are just no men anymore. They're all boys." But what if the problem isn't men — it's that nobody ever taught us how they actually work? In this episode, Dr. Terri sits down with researcher and author Alison Armstrong for one of the most important conversations you'll hear about relational health. Alison has spent 30 years studying men — their stages of development, how testosterone literally shapes their brain, why they go quiet, why they disappear into focus, and what women do (often without realizing it) that brings out the worst in them instead of the best. Dr. Terri ties it directly to what she sees every day in practice: patients who finally have their hormones optimized, their energy back, their libido restored — and now they're stepping back into relationships with the same blind spots they always had. This conversation changes that. What you'll discover: The four stages of male development — and how to recognize which one you're dealing with Why testosterone creates single focus (and what it looks like when a man "disappears") The difference between procreate, protect, and provide — and why it explains almost everything How women unconsciously turn princes into frogs (and how to stop) Why your words — not just your tone — produce completely different responses in men How to spot the man within the stage, even when he looks like a boy This one is worth sharing. And it's just the beginning — Dr. Terri and Alison are going deeper in future episodes. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The Dr. Terri Show is presented by Evexias Health Solutions.

The USDA just updated the food pyramid — and the nutrition world has opinions.But before you celebrate or complain, Dr. Terri sits down with functional nutritionist Elizabeth DiMeo to actually break it down: what changed, why it changed, what they got right, and what's still missing from the conversation.Spoiler: the low-fat era did more damage than we realized. And most Americans are still paying for it. What you'll discover: Why the war on saturated fat led directly to the seed oil crisis — and why your LDL isn't the enemy you think it is What "Franken foods" are and why they're quietly fueling inflammation, obesity, and chronic disease The real reason the food pyramid matters: it drives what your kids eat at school Why the Mediterranean diet keeps winning — and how to actually apply it to your life How to train your kids' palates before Big Food does it for you Simple, practical strategies for eating whole foods without overhauling your entire life This isn't about being on a diet. It's about understanding what real food is — and why getting back to basics might be the most powerful health decision you make this year. --- The Dr. Terri Show is presented by EVEXIAS Health Solutions.

And we rank second to last in actual health outcomes among all developed nations. That's not a coincidence. In this conversation, Dr. Terri sits down with her husband and EVEXIAS co-founder Dan DeNeui for one of their most candid, wide-ranging discussions yet. From the exploding wellness industry to the pharmaceutical lobby's quiet war on compounding pharmacies, to an 81-year-old woman whose rapid cognitive decline traced directly back to a statin nobody should have prescribed — this episode pulls back the curtain on a system that profits from keeping people sick. This one is for anyone who has ever felt like the healthcare system is working against them. Because in a lot of ways, it is. What you'll discover: Why the U.S. wellness industry jumped from $9 billion to $2 trillion in just three years — and what that signals [13:02] The statin story that every adult child of an aging parent needs to hear [17:13] Why pharmaceutical companies are sending cease and desist letters to clinicians prescribing legal compounded medications [45:31] How cholesterol reference ranges have been quietly lowered decade after decade — and why [19:40] Why 90% of supplements sold at retail either don't contain what they claim or are contaminated with mold and mycotoxins [30:40] What medical freedom actually means — and the insidious ways it's being stripped without anyone noticing [44:15] Why EVEXIAS provider trainings are maxed out every single month and what that says about where medicine is heading [05:27] The one thing both sides of the political aisle can agree on — if they're willing to set the labels aside [42:03] The bottom line: People are waking up. Clinicians are waking up. And the system is running out of ways to keep the truth quiet.

Your Nervous System Is Killing You — Not Your Cholesterol You bought the wearable. You're tracking your steps. You got your cholesterol checked and everything came back fine. So why does your body still feel like it's running a race it never signed up for? Here's what nobody is telling you: 30 to 40% of heart attacks have nothing to do with clogged arteries. They happen because the nervous system is broken. And yours might be — right now — without a single symptom to show for it. Dr. Terri sits down with Dr. Jim LaValle — naturopathic doctor, pharmacist, and one of the most decorated researchers in integrative medicine — for a conversation that reframes everything you thought you knew about heart health. Recorded live at an EVEXIAS training event, this episode breaks down the nervous system's role as the hidden driver behind cardiovascular disease, chronic illness, weight gain, gut dysfunction, and hormone breakdown. This one is for anyone who feels constantly wired, can't fully recover, or has been told their heart looks fine while their body is screaming otherwise. What you'll discover: Why 30–40% of heart attacks are nervous system events — not plaque events The three numbers you can measure at home today that reveal your true cardiovascular risk What heart rate variability actually means and why yours is probably too low Why your resting heart rate above 62 is quietly increasing your cardiac risk with every point How shallow breathing keeps your nervous system locked in fight or flight all day The gut-brain-heart connection: why sympathetic dominance is driving SIBO, H. Pylori, and dysbiosis Why postmenopausal women are dying of heart disease at higher rates than men — and what estradiol has to do with it Box breathing: the free three-minute protocol that reversed a CEO's ulcerative colitis in one year The supplement stack Dr. LaValle actually uses — phospholipids, adaptogens, magnesium, Theanine, and more Why hydrogen inhalation took his sleep efficiency from 92% to 96% and added an hour of sleep The bottom line: You don't need a cardiologist to start protecting your heart today. You need to understand your nervous system — and this episode is where that starts. The Dr. Terri Show is presented by EVEXIAS Health Solutions.

Nobody Told You About Ferritin — And It's Costing You Everything Your hormones are optimized. Your thyroid labs came back fine. You're doing everything right. So why do you still feel exhausted, foggy, and like nothing is actually working? The answer might be a single number your doctor has never mentioned. Dr. Terri is joined by Dr. Cassie Smith — endocrinologist, hormone optimization expert, and EVEXIAS training faculty — fresh off a regional hormone provider refresher in Destin, Florida. What started as a conversation about why fully optimized patients still feel terrible turned into one of the most practical, eye-opening episodes the show has ever produced. This one is for anyone who's been told their labs are fine but their body is telling a completely different story. What you'll discover: Why ferritin below 70 means your thyroid hormone literally cannot enter the cell — no matter how much medication you take The ferritin level that starts affecting your heart's ability to contract (and why your doctor calls it "normal") Why low ferritin is behind more hair loss than any supplement on the market can fix How H. Pylori quietly destroys your iron absorption, your gut, and your hormone metabolism all at once The methylation problem affecting 60% of people that turns your B vitamins into toxins instead of fuel Why testosterone does not cause breast cancer — and actually decreases your risk Why optimal vitamin D is 60 minimum — and why a billion people walking around deficient is a public health crisis nobody is talking about The bottom line: Hormones are not an end-all be-all. Until you fix ferritin, vitamin D, B12, and the gut — nothing else is going to work the way it should. The Dr. Terri Show is presented by EVEXIAS Health Solutions.

Your Dentist Is Missing the Biggest Threat to Your Heart, Gut, and Brain You brush. You floss. You go to your cleanings twice a year. And your dentist tells you everything looks fine. But what if the bacteria living between your teeth right now are quietly driving up your cardiovascular risk, disrupting your gut microbiome, and making certain cancer treatments less effective? Dr. Terri sits down with functional dentist Dr. Debbie Ozment — a 41-year practitioner who completely transformed her approach after a single patient's inflamed gums disappeared overnight thanks to a vitamin D injection. What started as curiosity turned into decades of research, a TEDx talk, and a master's thesis called The Forgotten Orifice — because medicine keeps ignoring the one opening that connects to everything else. This episode is for anyone who's "doing all the right things" but still dealing with chronic inflammation, unexplained lab results, or gut issues that won't resolve. What you'll discover: Why one patient's C-reactive protein dropped from 18.1 to 2.9 in just 60 days — with nothing but periodontal therapy The oral bacteria found in 100% of colorectal cancer patients (and how it makes chemotherapy less effective) Why bleeding gums are never "normal" — and what it really means for your systemic health The mouthwash mistake almost everyone makes that's destroying nitric oxide production and harming your heart How Fusobacterium nucleatum travels from your mouth to your fallopian tubes — and what that means for fertility The simple interdental brush technique that outperforms flossing for disrupting dangerous biofilm How ozone therapy stopped a 32-year-old woman's jaw from being surgically removed Why Dr. Debbie's top five daily habits have nothing to do with expensive dental products The bottom line: Health starts in the gut. But the gut starts in the mouth. Period. The Dr. Terri Show is presented by EVEXIAS Health Solutions.

"Since the 80s, we've been brainwashed to believe that eggs are bad for us, butter is bad for us, dairy is bad for us, red meat is bad for us. And it's just not true." If you've been told your cholesterol is "too high"... if you're on a statin drug and wondering if it's actually helping... if you care about preventing heart disease instead of just managing it... this episode is your wake-up call. It's Heart Health Month, and Dr. Terri is cutting through decades of misinformation to reveal what's REALLY driving cardiovascular disease — and it's not cholesterol. From the gut-heart connection to the six hormones that could save your life, this is the heart health conversation your doctor probably isn't having with you. Here's the truth: "The highest gross revenue producing drug in the history of drugs — billions of dollars — and since they've come out in the 80s, cardiovascular disease rates and death from cardiovascular disease have actually gotten worse, not better." WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: → Why heart disease is a disease of INFLAMMATION, not cholesterol → The shocking truth about statin drugs — and why heart disease has gotten WORSE since the 80s → How cholesterol-lowering drugs are literally shrinking your brain (the brain is 70% cholesterol) → The connection between statins, insulin resistance, and Alzheimer's (now called Type 3 Diabetes) → Why "all disease begins in the gut" — Hippocrates said it 2,000 years ago and it's still true → How estradiol reduced cardiovascular disease progression by 50% in women who already had plaque → Why testosterone is powerfully protective for men's hearts (not just for energy and muscle) → The one organ that can't make its own T3 thyroid hormone — your heart → Why your "normal" lab ranges are based on a sick population (and what optimal ACTUALLY looks like) → The phone scrolling habit that's destroying your melatonin AND your heart health → The inverse relationship between cortisol and DHEA that's wrecking your cardiovascular system → The vitamin D level that triggers a 5x cancer risk and 160% increased cardiovascular disease risk → The 6 hormones you need optimized for true heart disease prevention This isn't about managing heart disease with more prescriptions. It's about understanding the root cause — inflammation — and optimizing the hormones your body needs to protect itself. YOUR ACTION STEPS: Get a deep-dive lipid panel (particle size, ApoA, ApoB), check your hormone levels, ask about a coronary artery calcium score, and focus on OPTIMAL — not just "normal."

"Big Pharma has forgotten patient care and is all about profitability. That's all they're going to worry about." If you've been hearing confusing information about "counterfeit drugs"... if you're on compounded GLP-1s, peptides, or hormones and wondering if your medications are safe... if you care about medical freedom and individualized medicine... this episode is your wake-up call. Dr. Terri sits down with her husband Dan for one of the most urgent and controversial conversations yet. From FDA Commissioner Marty Makary's statements about "counterfeit drugs" to state-level bills trying to restrict compounding, this isn't just about pharmacy regulations - it's about whether you'll keep access to individualized medicine. Dan pulls no punches: "We were good enough to pick up the slack during Covid when Big Pharma couldn't make medications. Now all of a sudden, we're somehow unsafe? We're dangerous?" WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: → What "counterfeit drugs" ACTUALLY means (and why legitimate pharmacies are being lumped in) → The difference between black market imports and FDA-inspected 503A compounding pharmacies → Why Big Pharma is running to state legislators to add restrictions on compounding → The first step to taking away medical freedom and individualized patient care → How compounders picked up the slack during GLP-1 shortages (and helped Big Pharma's popularity) → Who really stepped in during Covid when Big Pharma shut down (compounders saved the day) → The hypocrisy: "Good enough during the emergency, dangerous after" → Why Big Pharma forgot about patient care in pursuit of profitability → State-level bills happening RIGHT NOW in Indiana, Colorado, Mississippi, Kentucky, Georgia → How you can fight back and protect your access to compounded medications → Why individualized medicine matters (we're genetically different, not one-size-fits-all) → The truth about good compounders vs bad compounders This isn't about defending bad actors. It's about protecting legitimate, FDA-inspected pharmacies that provide individualized care when Big Pharma can't or won't. ACTION NEEDED: State bills are moving through legislatures RIGHT NOW that would restrict your access to compounded medications.

If your thyroid labs keep coming back "normal" but you're exhausted, can't lose weight, losing hair, and freezing all the time... if your doctor only checks TSH and tells you everything's fine... if you're terrified to start thyroid medication because "you'll be on it forever"... this episode is your wake-up call. Dr. Terri breaks down the thyroid testing crisis that's leaving 50% of her patients with lingering symptoms despite "normal" labs. This isn't your typical thyroid talk - it's the truth about why TSH-only testing is failing millions of people, why Free T3 is the hormone that actually matters, and what's really going on when your body can't convert T4 to T3. After almost two decades in practice, Dr. Terri finally cracked the code on why so many patients - especially women over 45-50 - optimize their hormones but still feel terrible. The answer? Their thyroid labs showed "normal" but their Free T3 levels were in the gutter. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: → Why TSH is only a screening tool (and tells you nothing about what's happening in your cells) → The test 99% of doctors don't run: Free T3 - the ACTIVE thyroid hormone → Why you can have perfect TSH and T4 but still be fully symptomatic for low thyroid → The T4 to T3 conversion problem: why your body isn't making active thyroid hormone → What destroys your deiodinase enzymes (stress, restrictive dieting, gut issues, medications) → The "normal range" scam: why optimal levels are completely different from lab ranges → Why a 10-month-old baby has Free T3 over 10 (but your doctor says 2.5 is "normal") → The medication myth debunked: "If I start thyroid meds, I'll be on them forever" (NOT TRUE) → How thyroid medication actually works (it's a feedback loop, not permanent suppression) → Phase 2 liver detox: the missing piece in thyroid optimization → Why fixing stress, diet, and gut health can improve thyroid function naturally THE 3 TESTS YOU ACTUALLY NEED: 1. TSH - Screening tool only (tells you if thyroid gland is working) 2. Free T4*- The pro-hormone (80% of what thyroid secretes) 3. Free T3 - The ACTIVE hormone (what actually works in your cells) Without all three, you're missing the picture. --- ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Intro: Thyroid Awareness Month 1:45 - The lingering symptoms I couldn't explain in 50% of patients 3:30 - What I learned at a functional medicine conference that changed everything 5:20 - How medical school taught thyroid testing (and why it's incomplete) 7:15 - Understanding TSH: what it actually measures 9:40 - The T4 and T3 relationship (and why T3 is the active hormone) 11:30 - Why TSH doesn't detect low T3 problems 13:20 - Symptoms of suboptimal thyroid (cold hands, dry skin, hair loss, fatigue, depression) 15:45 - Why women struggle more with thyroid issues 17:30 - The deiodinase enzyme problem (T4 to T3 conversion) 19:10 - What destroys your conversion: stress, dieting, gut issues, medications 21:50 - Phase 2 liver detox and thyroid optimization 24:00 - Managing stress and diet to improve thyroid function 26:15 - The medication myth: "You'll be on it forever" - DEBUNKED 28:20 - How thyroid medication feedback loops actually work 30:00 - Why this is the #1 thing that gets missed in thyroid care --- 📚 RESOURCES MENTIONED: • Dr. Terri's Book: **Hormone Havoc** Deep dive on thyroid in dedicated chapter • EVEXIAS Health Solutions (Episode Sponsor) Website: https://www.evexias.com --- 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for more episodes exploring integrative medicine, hormone optimization, and what your doctor isn't telling you. 👍 If this episode finally explained what's wrong with your thyroid testing, LIKE and SHARE it with someone who's been told "your labs are normal" but still feels terrible. ⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This content is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

Dr. Terri sits down with Dr. Cassie Smith, an endocrinologist and hormone specialist, for a game-changing conversation about why the standard approach to thyroid testing is failing millions of people. This isn't your typical thyroid talk - it's the truth about why TSH alone is a useless marker after you start treatment, why 40-60% of Americans are walking around with suboptimal thyroid function, and what your doctor should actually be checking. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: → Why TSH is only a screening tool (and becomes irrelevant once you're on medication) → The shocking truth: nobody's checking your Free T3 - the hormone that actually matters → Why conversion of T4 to T3 breaks down (stress, gut dysbiosis, insulin resistance) → The deiodinase enzymes that 93% of people can't optimize due to metabolic dysfunction → Why higher Free T3 levels = lower cardiovascular mortality and better outcomes → The "normal range" scam: why lab ranges are based on sick Americans, not optimal health → How your gut controls ALL hormone metabolism (thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, cortisol) → Why fixing thyroid without fixing gut health is a Band-Aid approach This isn't about ONE blood test. It's about understanding the whole system.

"You're really eating DEAD food, and the body wants real nutrition food that it recognizes." If you've ever made a New Year's resolution to eat healthier only to fail by February... if you've ever felt like healthy food is too expensive, too hard, or too restrictive... this episode changes everything. Dr. Terri sits down with Deborah (owner of a local farm-to-table restaurant in DFW) for one of the most practical and eye-opening conversations about food you'll ever hear.
