  Fasting & Gut Health: What New Crohn’s Disease Studies Reveal

  Sep 15, 202624 min

  What if supporting your gut health involved changing not only what you eat—but when you eat? In this episode of the Foundational Health Podcast , Dr. Kevin Schultz examines two recent studies investigating time-restricted eating and fasting-mimicking diets in people with Crohn’s disease. The results suggest that structured fasting may help improve digestive symptoms, body composition, metabolic health, and certain markers of inflammation. You’ll learn how meal timing may affect your circadian rhythm, visceral fat, gut microbiome, and immune signaling. Dr. Kevin also explains why feeling better does not always mean intestinal inflammation is under control, who may be a reasonable candidate for intermittent fasting, and who should avoid fasting without medical supervision. If you’re interested in experimenting with meal timing, you’ll also receive a practical approach for beginning with a gentle 12-hour overnight fast before gradually considering a longer fasting window.

  Alzheimer’s, Dementia, and the Daily Habits That Support Brain Health

  Sep 1, 202654 min

  Dementia is one of the most devastating health challenges a family can face—but a family history or genetic risk factor does not mean your future is already decided. In this deeply personal episode, Dr. Kevin Schultz honors his father, Duane, following his seven-year journey with dementia. Drawing from that experience, Dr. Kevin explores what current research reveals about Alzheimer’s disease, cognitive decline and the daily choices that may help protect the brain throughout life. You’ll learn: The difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s disease Why changes in the brain may begin years before noticeable memory loss What the APOE4 gene can—and cannot—tell you about Alzheimer’s risk Why Alzheimer’s is sometimes described as “type 3 diabetes” How blood sugar, blood pressure and visceral fat relate to brain health Which treatable conditions can resemble dementia How nutrition, movement, sleep, hearing, social connection and purpose support cognitive health Simple actions you can begin taking this week Research suggests that addressing modifiable risk factors across life could delay or prevent a substantial portion of dementia cases. There are no guarantees, but there are meaningful ways to improve your odds—and it is never too early or too late to begin.

  How Intentional Parents Raise Healthy and Resilient Children

  Aug 18, 20261h 2m

  What are your children inheriting from you besides their genetics, possessions, or financial resources? Every day, children are learning from their parents’ routines, attitudes, food choices, response to stress, relationships, priorities, faith, and approach to health. Whether parents realize it or not, their actions are helping define what their children will consider “normal” for the rest of their lives. In this episode of the Foundational Health Podcast , Dr. Kevin Schultz sits down with chiropractor, father, and health-freedom advocate Dr. Jerod Ochsendorf to discuss how parents can intentionally build strong, healthy families in a rapidly changing world. Dr. Jerod explains why healthy families do not happen by accident. They are shaped through consistent leadership, small daily habits, clear family values, and parents who are willing to model the behaviors they hope to see in their children. You do not have to be a perfect parent, nutrition expert, or healthcare professional to lead your family well. You simply need a clear direction and the willingness to make one intentional decision at a time.

  Why do hip pain, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tightness, tennis elbow or frozen shoulder often appear during perimenopause and menopause —even when there was no obvious injury? In this episode of the Foundational Health Podcast , Dr. Kevin Schultz explores the connection between menopause, estrogen changes, joint pain and tendon health. You’ll learn how changing hormones may affect collagen, inflammation, muscle maintenance and tissue recovery—and why hormones are only one part of the story.
