After a 4 year hiatus, Michael and Anthony return to the microphones to catch up on their experiences since the pandemic and discuss their plans for the future, and their plans for Fusion Health Radio. Many subjects flew by, so here are the links mentioned in the show. Michael's Clinic Website. The Qi Gong Teacher Training Website 200 Hour Teacher Training Michael's Patreon Page    

Which of your angels is teaching you the most? Have you ever heard the expression, ‘Follow the guidance of your better angels.’ I love that affirmation of clarity and self-trust. I am also reminded of those childhood cartoons with a character who has an angel and a devil on each shoulder trying to convince them to do something ‘good or bad.' What does any of that have to do with your day? Well, after almost 2 months of self-isolation, quarantine, or whatever this has been like for you, you are probably getting familiar with the proverbial angel and devil on your shoulders. If you look at ‘pandemic’  life through the lens of Social media, most people are living in their pyjamas, eating more than usual, binge-watching tv shows and trying to stay busy or distracted – or both. Some of us are craving attention and contact while others are hiding in the laundry room for a moment of personal space. I hope you are finding your balance in all of that. I hope you are learning to appreciate your angels and demons.     Given the challenges that most people are facing, we decided to do a podcast on sobriety. I would like to introduce you to Dr, Dana Leigh Lyons. One of the smartest and most authentic people I know. In this unexpected episode of FHR, Anthony Sanna and I get to chat with Dana about her experience with addiction and how she has become a respected sobriety expert. If you are looking for some inspiration and guidance, or just some honest human truth about living through challenging experiences, please check out this insightful conversation. Dana offers some great online support. This link takes you to her sobriety kit and recovery journal. Enjoy!

CBD is EVERYWHERE! Does it work? If so, how?

Then I will share the main concerns, contraindications, and dosage. Get ready for a deep dive geek out on why CBD is going to change the way medicine is practiced I cannot recommend the use of CBD or THC because of licensing standards. 

Do you like common sense answers for complicated problems? I feel the same way! In fact, it is my passion to take complex health problems and whittle them down until I find an obvious root cause Autoimmunity has been on the rise for the last 50 years. At present, one in five people suffers from some form of Autoimmune dysfunction. One in ten has been diagnosed with PTSD and 1 in 4 will experience some aspect of addiction in their lives and 10% never recover. Those are some scary numbers. If we keep those populations separate, that covers 60% of the people living in modern society. In this episode, I take you on a short tour through Autoimmunity, PTSD, and Addiction. And then I use the analogy of a new doctor/patient TV show to explore some obvious and some subtle connections between all three. Here are my new websites www.integrativehealthdetective.com www.somaticmindfulness.org Here is the blog post about today’s show. https://integrativehealthdetective.com/the-autoimmunity-ptsd-and-addiction-connection/  

Mindfulness can mean a lot of things... I think we can all agree that it has something to do with getting to know more about your thoughts, feelings and Spiritual assumptions. In this Solo-Cast episode, Dr. Michael Smith shares his experience with the modern practice of mindfulness. You will learn about the Triangle of Mindfulness, the instinctual ways your attention can be hijacked, and an honest approach to cultivating awareness. This image matches the kind of pyramid discussed in the episode. Enjoy!    

You have probably noticed that COLD SHOWERS are the new cure-all. And... You have probably heard about Neuroplasticity on this podcast or on social media. Welcome back, Fusion Health Radio Fans!

 Autoimmunity is on the rise. At present, one in six people suffers from one or more of the over 180 known conditions that we know are Autoimmune. It is very likely that many other chronic modern conditions like Cardio-Vascular Disease, Cancer and Alzheimer's Disease will soon be classified as Autoimmune. Most clinicians are in agreement that most people with Depression, Anxiety and some forms of insomnia are inflammatory and Autoimmune. Honestly, Autoimmunity is everywhere. In this episode, Anthony Sanna goes on a deep dive with Dr. Michael Smith about the Autoimmune Spectrum. Michael has Crohn's Disease and Anthony has had chronic food sensitivities so this podcast gets a bit personal. Dr. Smith has committed over 20 years of his career to researching and treating Autoimmune Disease. If you like a good geek out and are looking for an experienced perspective on the severity, momentum and appropriate protocols for most Autoimmune Conditions.Enjoy!
