In episode #351 of the BrainStim podcast, Dr. Aplin and the team dive into the growing trend of intermittent fasting and explore both its historical roots and modern-day popularity. They discuss how fasting has been practiced for centuries — often tied to religious and cultural traditions — and examine why today's constant access to food may be contributing to many health challenges. The conversation also unpacks common misconceptions about fasting, how the body responds to periods without food, and why giving the digestive system regular breaks may support overall health and function. As always, we encourage you to think critically about mainstream health habits, ask they "why" behind everything, and consider a more natural approach to wellness. www.invisionchiropractic.com

Most of us know that Americans are notoriously vitamin D deficient. But do you know what impact that has on your health? Probably you've been told how bad it is for your bones...but what about your brain? As a neurologically based chiropractic office, that's the lens through which we view most of our health concerns, so we're diving into brain health and the role vitamin D plays. As always, you can find more information about neurologically based chiropractic care at www.invisionchiropractic.com.

Synergy is things working together to create a bigger impact than the things could independently. How does this apply to our health? Lifestyle behaviors are deeply synergistic — meaning nothing in the body works in isolation. Every action creates a ripple effect across multiple systems, rather than a simple cause-and-effect linear model that traditional western medicine tends to assume. The BrainStim gang is diving into the synergistic effects - positive and negative - and how we can employ the positive ones to help us on our wellness journey. www.invisionchiropractic.com

It's time for a round up on Roundup, or more accurately, on glyphosate. We're discussing the latest on America's favorite herbicide/pesticide. Most of our corn, soybeans, and cotton being grown in the US use the product and even many have been planting so-called "Roundup Ready" genetically engineered glyphosate-tolerant crops were introduced in 1996. Since glyphosate has been linked to non-Hodgkin lymphoma in thousands of lawsuits, we're questioning what can we do to counteract the toxic load? Is there any way to escape it? Is there anything we can do to mitigate it? We think you'll find some hope and actionable take aways when you listen to the BrainStim gang discuss this crucial health topic. www.invisionchiropractic.com/schedule
