On our last episode, we introduced Dr. Brad Lichtenstein. Dr. Brad is a naturopathic physician who has spent his career teaching and practicing mind-body medicine, mindfulness, and meditation. This topic is crucial to optimal health, yet many patients find it intimidating and don’t know where to start. Today in part two of our interview, Dr. Brad dives into what mindfulness is, and how to cultivate mindful practices. Additionally, if you stick around to end of the show credits, Dr. Brad also leads us in a mindful meditation.

“Mindfulness means attention to the present moment without judgement or without elaboration. A lot of our suffering is because we are living in the judgement of something and missing the moment.” – Dr. Brad Lichtenstein

At Genova Diagnostics we’ve watched this field evolve and grow for over 35 years….

We’ve not only adapted, we’ve led. Join us as we talk about functional medicine, laboratory testing, and optimizing health. Welcome to the Lab Report.

Holistic Mental Health with Everest Goldstein

Berberine is an alkaloid compound that can be extracted from several plants. It is a widely used supplement in personalized medicine and is also beginning to get some traction within the conventional medicine space. Berberine is mainly used in the GI tract for its antimicrobial effects, but as it relates to gut health, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. What is even more fascinating is berberine’s vast systemic metabolic influences.

In today’s episode, we dive into the wide array of berberine’s important effects. Not only on the gut, but also on detoxification systems, skin, eyes, lipid and blood glucose control, hypertension, and cardiovascular health.

Today on The Lab Report: 
4:00 Berberine – not an herb – where does it come from?
6:55 Overall gut modulator, skin health, and detox
13:05 Metabolic dysfunction – blood glucose, protein, lipids
14:50 Cardiovascular effects and heart health
16:00 Contraindications and safety considerations
18:00 What’s in a name?
