Imagine your gut as a security gate, carefully controlling what enters your bloodstream. Now, picture that gate with broken locks—allowing harmful toxins, undigested food particles, and bacteria to slip through. That’s leaky gut, and it could be the hidden reason behind your bloating, brain fog, autoimmune issues, skin problems, and chronic fatigue. Your gut lining is supposed to act as a protective barrier, but when it gets damaged, it no longer filters properly. This can trigger widespread inflammation, worsen allergies and asthma, contribute to autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s and psoriasis, and throw your hormones out of balance, leading to issues like PCOS. Even your mood and mental health are deeply connected to what’s happening in your gut. On this episode of Medical Disruptor, we’re breaking down the truth about leaky gut—what it is, why it’s causing more than just digestive issues, and how stress, antibiotics, NSAIDs like Advil and Motrin, sugar, alcohol, and processed foods could be fueling the damage. We’ll also explore how gut health directly impacts your skin, hormones, and brain function, plus the foods silently making it worse—and what to eat instead. If you’ve been struggling with unexplained symptoms and haven’t found the answers, this episode could be the breakthrough you need. Tune in and learn how to take control of your gut health once and for all. 🎧 Listen to my other podcasts: Medical Disruptor Podcast 🔗 Join the Waitlist for a Consult: drefratlamandre.com/waitlist 📖 Get Dr. E’s Book, It’s Not In Your Head: drefratlamandre.com/buybook Learn more about your ad choices.

Depression isn't always the obvious, can't-get-out-of-bed situation everyone thinks it is. There's this sneaky, dangerous version hiding in plain sight that nobody's talking about. High Functioning Depression is that is the ultimate mask that lets you CRUSH IT at work, check off every box, and still show up for everyone around you. You're performing, you're delivering, but inside? You're EMPTY. Completely disconnected. Zero joy. This is what's destroying our highest achievers, caregivers, and perfectionists – all the people getting praised for "having it all together." You're too capable, too reliable for anyone to notice you're drowning. Nobody's checking on you because from the outside, you look like you're WINNING.

Together, we unpack the psychological toll of pathological productivity, and why ambition often masks unresolved trauma. Dr. Judith drops a COMPLETE FRAMEWORK – her Five V's Methodology – that will transform how you approach your mental and physical wellbeing.

If you feel like something is slipping away inside you, like you're constantly on edge, or like rest is something you'll "earn" someday—this conversation is your invitation to stop. To see yourself. And to start healing. You don't need to crash to justify getting help. Your body is ALREADY telling you something's wrong. Listen to the full episode now.

Your thyroid controls EVERYTHING—energy, metabolism, mood, digestion, and even heart function. When it’s underactive, as in hypothyroidism, or under attack from an autoimmune condition like Hashimoto’s, the effects can be devastating. Millions of people are either misdiagnosed or diagnosed too late. And if the root cause isn’t addressed, medications alone won’t stop the progression of thyroid dysfunction. In this episode of Medical Disruptor, I break down why fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and even depression could be early warning signs of thyroid dysfunction, and how you can detect issues years before standard blood tests pick them up. I’ll reveal the number one hidden trigger for Hashimoto’s, why gut health and inflammation play a critical role, and the must-have supplements that support thyroid function and lower inflammation.
