What is the primary function of the thyroid? What effect does iodine or fluoride have on the thyroid? These are some of the interesting things that Dr David Brownstein and I discussed in the podcast and which I will be pondering on today.

15 years ago, I encountered a holistic and integrative medical practitioner when I read his book about Iodine, and this week I am delighted to have him as a guest. Join me as I talk about some of the highlights of our conversation.

All of these topics were also in his books. For more on Dr David Brownstein’s website and to get his books, please visit: https://www.centerforholisticmedicine.com/

Unstress Health with Dr Ron Ehrlich

HEALTHY BITE | Thyroid: Nutritional & Environmental Stress

How do we raise healthy, resilient children in an age dominated by smartphones, social media and artificial intelligence?

In this thought-provoking conversation, Dr Ron Ehrlich is joined by Dr Sajita Setia, a physician, researcher and advocate for digital wellbeing. Together they explore the growing evidence linking excessive screen use with poor sleep, anxiety, depression, attention problems and declining family connection.

Rather than advocating fear or blanket bans, Dr Setia encourages parents, educators and policymakers to prioritise education, compassionate conversations and healthy digital boundaries. She explains how simple lifestyle changes - such as removing devices from bedrooms, modelling healthy behaviour and spending intentional screen-free family time - can dramatically improve children's wellbeing.

The discussion also explores AI, social media algorithms, gender differences in technology use, school responsibilities and practical steps every family can implement immediately.

◉ 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭:

Based in New Zealand, she works at the intersection of medicine, implementation science and education, helping families understand the health impacts of digital technology while developing healthier relationships with screens.

Her work includes:
Digital wellbeing research
Parent coaching
School wellbeing programmes
Workshops for educators and families
Training educational organisations
Research collaborations with universities and schools in New Zealand, India and the United States

Digital Wellbeing & Raising Resilient Kids with Dr Sajita Setia

Sexual health is often treated as an optional conversation in medicine - but according to Professor Rafi Heruti, it should be considered a pillar of overall health.

Drawing from decades of experience in rehabilitation medicine, Professor Heruti explains how spinal cord injuries, stroke, trauma, chronic illness and ageing affect not only physical function but also identity, relationships and emotional wellbeing.

Dr Ron Ehrlich and Professor Heruti discuss the biopsychosocial model of healthcare, highlighting the interconnected roles of biology, psychology and relationships in sexual wellbeing. They examine hormone health, cardiovascular disease, medications, mental health, lifestyle, ageing, communication and intimacy while challenging common misconceptions surrounding sexuality.

The conversation also explores Professor Heruti's work in Paralympic sport, illustrating the extraordinary resilience and adaptability of the human spirit, before concluding with powerful reflections on living a healthier, more balanced life.

◉ 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭:   

Professor Rafi (Raphael) Heruti is an internationally respected specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, with particular expertise in sexual rehabilitation, spinal cord injury rehabilitation, neurological rehabilitation and disability medicine.

He is affiliated with Tel Aviv University and has held senior leadership positions at rehabilitation hospitals in Israel, where he has pioneered multidisciplinary approaches to sexual rehabilitation following injury, trauma and chronic illness.

Professor Heruti is also internationally recognised within the Paralympic Movement, serving as a medical classifier for Paralympic athletes and contributing extensively to disability sport worldwide.

His work promotes a holistic biopsychosocial approach to rehabilitation that integrates physical recovery, psychological wellbeing and healthy relationships.

Rebuilding Intimacy: Why Sexual Rehabilitation Belongs in Modern Medicine with Prof. Rafi Heruti 

Dr. Ron Ehrlich welcomes back Associate Professor Dr. Jim Parker to explore emerging paradigm shifts in healthcare, focusing primarily on women's reproductive and metabolic health. Dr. Parker applies Thomas Kuhn’s cycle of scientific revolutions to modern medicine, explaining how traditional systems are failing by treating symptoms rather than maintaining optimal physiology.

 

The conversation spans the evolutionary roots of PCOS, the critical impact of maternal lifestyle ("the soil") on pregnancy outcomes ("the seed"), and a call to action for measuring fasting insulin over glucose to combat the global metabolic health crisis. 

 

◉ 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭:   

Dr. Jim Parker is an obstetrician and gynecologist with over 30 to 40 years of clinical experience, having delivered thousands of babies and performed thousands of gynecological procedures. After stepping away from active clinical practice, he transitioned into research and academia. He currently serves as an academic and researcher at the University of Wollongong and has been a prominent lecturer at the Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM). His work focuses on evolutionary models of disease, lifestyle medicine, and translational research.
Featured Research Papers:Evolutionary Model of PCOS, Insulin-Centric Model of Metabolic Dysfunction

 

◉ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗘𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲

✔️How Thomas Kuhn’s cycle explains the resistance to new medical paradigms.

✔️Why PCOS should be classified as an evolutionary survival mechanism rather than a disease.

✔️The profound connection between maternal lifestyle, visceral fat, and severe pregnancy complications like pre-eclampsia.

✔️How to independently audit your own metabolic health using five basic physical and blood markers.

✔️The dangers of the traditional glucose-centric diagnostic model and why fasting insulin is the true marker to watch.
