  Dr. Sue Morter: Energy Blockages, Nervous System Dysregulation, and Why Healing Gets Stuck 10.09.2026 56мин

  Join The Circle and use code “PODCAST”: https://holplus.co/circle/What if the symptoms you feel in your body are not random, but signals of something deeper happening in your energy system? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Dr. Sue Morter, master of bioenergetic medicine, founder of the Morter Institute for Bioenergetics, and author of The Anatomy of Awakening, to explore how energy medicine connects to the nervous system, chronic stress, emotional patterns, and the body’s ability to heal.In this  episode Dr. Sue explains how energetic blockages can show up as a lump in the throat, tightness in the chest, a knot in the stomach, chronic tension, anxiety, digestive issues, allergies, pain patterns, and other symptoms that often appear disconnected from the deeper root cause.Dr. Sue shares how the flow of energy through the body acts like a master system, influencing the nervous system, endocrine system, digestive system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, and the body’s self-regulating capacity. When that flow becomes blocked by unresolved emotions, survival patterns, stress, fear, or disconnection from the self, the body may move into dysregulation and lose access to its natural healing intelligence.If you’re listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don’t know where to start,” join the Circle here:  👉 https://holplus.co/circleHealing is not just about treating symptoms. It is about understanding the deeper patterns beneath them, including stress, emotional suppression, nervous system dysregulation, breath, posture, self-compassion, and the relationship you have with your own body.Learn more about support related to this conversation:Mental Health: https://holplus.co/services/mental-healthAnxiety: https://holplus.co/conditions/anxietyDr. Taz and Dr. Sue also discuss why affirmations and manifestation practices may not work if they are coming from the protective or performing personality, why posture and breath can help shift the body into a different state, and how reconnecting with the true self can open the door to healing, creativity, safety, and wholeness.If you’ve ever felt stuck in chronic stress, disconnected from your body, frustrated by symptoms that don’t fully resolve, or curious about the connection between energy, emotions, and physical health, this episode will help you understand what may actually be happening beneath the surface.In this episode, we cover: What energy medicine really means and why it belongs in the healing model How energetic blockages can dysregulate the nervous system Why symptoms like chest tightness, throat tension, stomach knots, and chronic pain may be body signals How unresolved emotions and survival patterns can affect physical health Why the body can get stuck in fight-or-flight, even when the original threat is gone How breathwork, posture, and internal awareness help energy move through the body Why affirmations may not work when they come from a place of lack or fear How self-compassion helps shift the relationship between the protective personality and the true self What Dr. Sue means by “the anatomy of awakening” and the five hidden codes How small daily practices can begin to restore a sense of safety, wholeness, and self-healingThis is not just about energy healing. It is about understanding the body as a connected system, learning how stress and emotion shape your physiology, and remembering that healing often begins by returning to yourself.About The Guest:Dr. Sue Morter is an international speaker, master of bioenergetic medicine, founder of the Morter Institute for Bioenergetics, and author of The Anatomy of Awakening. With more than 40 years of clinical experience, she is known for bridging energy medicine, neuroscience, consciousness, breathwork, and embodied healing practices to help people move from survival patterns into coherence, vitality, and wholeness.About Dr. Taz:Dr. Tasneem Bhatia (Dr. Taz) is a triple board-certified integrative medicine physician,bestselling author, and founder of hol+ a multi-location integrative medicine practice.Learn more: https://doctortaz.com/aboutStay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Book a Hol+ Consultation: https://holplus.co/locations/virtual/Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseFollow Dr. Sue Morter: https://drsuemorter.com/https://www.instagram.com/drsuemorter/Get your copy of The Anatomy of AwakeningHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)

  Join The Circle and use code “PODCAST”: https://holplus.co/circle/What if your ovaries influence your metabolism, inflammation, sleep, and long-term health, not just your ability to have children? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz MD speaks with reproductive biologist and Celmatix founder Dr. Piraye Beim about the emerging field of ovarian health.Dr. Beim explains why the ovary should be understood as a metabolic, immune, and endocrine organ that communicates with tissues throughout the body. She reveals what may happen when ovarian function begins declining, why perimenopause can feel so sudden, and how those changes may influence weight, insulin signaling, inflammation, and healthy aging.The conversation also explores AMH and ovarian reserve, the overlooked 300-day process behind egg development, and the experimental treatments scientists are developing to regulate ovarian function and potentially extend ovarian health.Dr. Beim also shares practical ways women can support the ovarian function they have today, including reducing smoking and toxin exposure, managing inflammation, protecting sleep, getting appropriate morning light, exercising, and supporting metabolic health.In this episode, you’ll learn:• Why ovarian health affects much more than fertility• How ovarian function interacts with metabolism and inflammation• Why weight management can become harder during perimenopause• What high or low AMH may reveal about ovarian function• How PCOS and endometriosis can affect ovarian health• Why sleep and light exposure matter for hormone signaling• Whether lifestyle changes may influence ovarian aging• What the future of fertility and menopause treatment could look likeThe AMH-mimicking treatment discussed in this conversation remains experimental and is still being developed.Dr. Taz and Dr. Beim also discuss PCOS, endometriosis, diminished ovarian reserve, fertility treatments, and the overlooked 300-day process behind the development of an egg. Dr. Beim shares how Celmatix is developing an experimental therapy designed to mimic AMH and potentially regulate how quickly ovarian follicles are used over a woman’s lifetime.If you have struggled with fertility, PCOS, painful periods, perimenopause, menopause, unexplained weight changes, or low AMH, this conversation offers a new way to understand the connection between your ovaries and your overall health.The AMH-mimicking treatment discussed in this episode is still under development and has not been proven or approved to extend ovarian function in humans.About Dr. Piraye Beim:Dr. Piraye Beim is a reproductive biologist, women’s health innovator, and founder and CEO of Celmatix. For more than 20 years, she has worked to advance the scientific understanding of female biology, fertility, ovarian aging, and reproductive health.

  Join The Circle and use code “PODCAST”: https://holplus.co/circle/ Your children do not just hear what you say. They can also sense your stress, anxiety, and emotional state. So how can parents regulate themselves before that stress spreads throughout the family?In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, New York Times bestselling author Katherine Schwarzenegger Pratt opens up about the anxiety and overwhelm that can come with modern motherhood. She explains how learning about co-regulation changed the way she responds to tantrums, meltdowns, running late, and other stressful parenting moments.Katherine shares how introducing meditation into her morning routine helped her feel calmer, become less reactive, and better handle whatever the day brings. She emphasizes that the solution will look different for every parent, whether it involves meditation, walking, exercising, asking for help, or simply creating a few quiet moments before the day begins.Dr. Taz and Katherine also discuss:• Why children often absorb and respond to their parents’ stress • How regulating your own nervous system can help your children feel safer • Why today’s parents may feel more anxious and overwhelmed • The importance of asking for help instead of trying to do everything alone • How grandparents can provide connection, support, and stability • Staying connected with your partner when traditional date nights are difficult • Why clear communication matters when dividing parenting responsibilities • Katherine’s experience with postpartum anxiety during the pandemic • How Ayurvedic practices supported her postpartum recovery • Preparing older children and the wider family for a new babyKatherine also shares how she and her husband, Chris Pratt, navigate parenting as a team.

  Join The Circle and use code "PODCAST": https://holplus.co/circle/Many women first learn that they have dense breast tissue after receiving a mammogram report. But what does breast density actually mean, and could it change the type of screening a woman should discuss with her healthcare provider? In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, ultrasound sonographer and SonoBreasts founder Jasmine Khorsandi discusses dense breasts, automated whole-breast ultrasound, early detection, and the gaps she believes exist in conventional breast screening.Jasmine explains how SonoCiné automated whole-breast ultrasound captures thousands of images that are compiled into a moving view for review. She compares the experience with handheld ultrasound and mammography and explains why she advocates greater awareness of supplemental imaging, particularly for women with dense breast tissue.Dr. Taz shares her own experience of finding a lump and moving through a mammogram, ultrasound, MRI, and biopsy over six months before learning that the finding was benign. She and Jasmine discuss the anxiety, confusion, and logistical challenges women can encounter while navigating breast imaging.Jasmine also shares stories from her practice, including a young woman whose persistent breast pain led her to seek additional evaluation. She explains why women should learn what is normal for their breasts, pay attention to physical changes, understand their personal risk factors, and ask more informed questions about screening.The conversation expands beyond imaging to explore stress, burnout, emotional health, feminine energy, intuition, and community. Jasmine describes the physical burnout that forced her to change how she operated her business, accept help, and make more room for rest, spiritual practices, and connection.In this episode:What dense breast tissue meansWhy breast density can affect mammogram sensitivityHow women can learn their breast-density categoryThe difference between mammography and breast ultrasoundHandheld versus automated whole-breast ultrasoundHow SonoCiné breast imaging worksWhen supplemental breast imaging may be consideredDr. Taz’s experience with mammography, MRI, and biopsyWhy persistent breast pain or physical changes deserve attentionJasmine’s observations from working with younger womenHow to advocate for yourself during the screening processWhat to look for during breast self-awareness checksHow to choose healthcare practitioners you trustThe possible connections between stress and physical healthWhy women become disconnected from their bodiesJasmine’s experience with severe burnoutMoving from perfectionism and fear toward delegation and supportThe importance of community, rest, and emotional expressionHow women can begin reconnecting with their intuitionAbout Jasmine Khorsandi:Jasmine Khorsandi is an ultrasound sonographer and the founder of SonoBreasts, an ultrasound clinic in Los Angeles, California.She has worked in women’s health and ultrasound imaging for more than a decade and specializes in SonoCiné automated whole-breast ultrasound.

  Tamsen Fadal on the Menopause Symptoms Women Aren’t Warned About: Brain Fog, HRT, and Reclaiming Midlife 20.08.2026 39мин

  Join The Circle and use code "PODCAST": https://holplus.co/circle/Tamsen Fadal was an experienced news anchor when heart palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, and severe brain fog left her on the bathroom floor of her newsroom. Despite spending decades in the media, she had no idea she was experiencing menopause.In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, Tamsen shares how that frightening experience led her to investigate why so many women remain unprepared for perimenopause and menopause.Tamsen reflects on losing her mother to breast cancer and later realizing that her mother had experienced medical menopause following chemotherapy and a double mastectomy. Nearly 28 years separated their experiences, yet both women suffered without the information or support they needed.That realization inspired Tamsen to step away from a three-decade career in television journalism and devote her work to menopause education and advocacy. She explains how social media revealed the scale of the problem and gave women a place to share symptoms and experiences that had been ignored or dismissed.Dr. Taz and Tamsen also discuss the confusion surrounding hormone replacement therapy, the importance of personalized care, barriers to finding informed doctors, and the role telehealth may play in improving access. They explore how brain fog, anxiety, sleep disruption, and other symptoms can affect women’s confidence, careers, relationships, and sense of identity.Tamsen also shares the story behind The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause. After being told there was no audience for a menopause documentary, Tamsen and her partners self-funded the project, brought together leading experts and women’s personal stories, and ultimately secured national distribution through PBS.The conversation turns toward reclaiming menopause as a powerful stage of life rather than a period of invisibility or decline. Tamsen discusses her book, How to Menopause, and the practical lifestyle changes that have helped her take better care of herself at 54.In this episode:Tamsen’s frightening menopause experience in the newsroomHeart palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, and severe brain fogWhy she did not recognize her symptoms as menopauseHer mother’s experience with medically induced menopauseWhy menopause care has changed so little across generationsLeaving a three-decade journalism career for women’s advocacyThe fear and financial uncertainty of making a major midlife changeHow social media helped women begin sharing their experiencesCreating The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on MenopauseBeing told there was no audience for a menopause documentaryWhy hormone replacement therapy remains confusingThe need for personalized menopause treatmentWhat to do when a doctor dismisses or minimizes your symptomsImproving menopause research, education, and access to careHow menopause symptoms affect women in the workplaceReframing menopause as a powerful new stage of lifeThe sleep, exercise, protein, stress, and alcohol changes helping Tamsen at 54About Tamsen Fadal:Tamsen Fadal is a 13-time Emmy-winning journalist, New York Times bestselling author, documentary filmmaker, podcaster, and menopause advocate.After more than three decades as a television journalist and news anchor, she shifted her work toward helping women understand perimenopause, menopause, and life beyond midlife.Tamsen is the author of How to Menopause: Take Charge of Your Health, Reclaim Your Life, and Feel Even Better Than Before.

  Why Women Shouldn’t Work Out Fasted: Cycle Syncing, Blood Sugar, and Hormones with Alisa Vitti 18.08.2026 50мин

  Join The Circle and use code "PODCAST": https://holplus.co/circle/ What if the fasting, workouts, and eating patterns that are supposed to improve your metabolism are actually working against your hormones? In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, women’s hormone expert Alisa Vitti explains why women in their reproductive years have a second biological clock that most health and fitness advice completely ignores. Known as the infradian rhythm, this approximately month-long cycle affects metabolism, cortisol, immune function, brain activity, energy, appetite, and exercise performance.Alisa breaks down the follicular, ovulatory, luteal, and menstrual phases and explains how nutritional needs, metabolism, and stress tolerance change throughout the cycle.

  Dr. Zach Bush: How the Microbiome Affects Metabolism, Brain Health, and Chronic Disease 13.08.2026 1ч 14мин

  Join The Circle and use code "PODCAST": https://holplus.co/circle/ What if chronic disease, declining energy, cognitive issues, and fertility challenges are not isolated problems, but signs of a deeper disconnection from the natural world?In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, Dr. Zach Bush explores the relationship between human health and the health of our environment. Drawing from his background in internal medicine, endocrinology, cancer research, and hospice care, he explains how his search for the root causes of disease led him from the hospital and laboratory to the microbiome, soil science, and regenerative agriculture.Dr. Bush describes mitochondria as essential generators of cellular energy and explains how the microbes living within and around us help support metabolism, immunity, neurological function, and communication throughout the body. He shares his perspective on how chemical agriculture, declining biodiversity, and changes in our food systems may be affecting these biological relationships.Dr. Taz and Dr. Bush also discuss the rise of obesity, insulin resistance, autoimmune disease, cognitive decline, chronic fatigue, and infertility. Dr. Bush presents his theory that these conditions may be connected through a broader decline in metabolic energy and our increasing separation from nature.The conversation ultimately turns toward hope and practical action. Dr. Bush explains why restoring soil, supporting regenerative farmers, growing food, strengthening local communities, and spending more time in direct contact with nature may help rebuild both human and planetary health. He also shares how something as simple as growing a mint plant can begin restoring a family’s relationship with living food.In this episode:Dr. Bush’s journey from conventional medicine to microbiome and soil researchWhat mitochondria do and why they are essential for cellular energyHow the microbiome influences metabolism, immunity, and brain functionThe relationship between soil health, food quality, and human healthHow chemical agriculture may disrupt biological communicationWhy Dr. Bush describes modern illness as nature deficit disorderHis theory connecting metabolic decline with chronic disease and fertilityWhy supplements cannot fully replace a healthy food systemHow regenerative agriculture can support human and planetary healthSimple ways to reconnect your family with food, soil, and natureWhy community and human connection may be essential parts of healingAbout Dr. Zach Bush:Dr. Zach Bush is a triple board-certified physician specializing in internal medicine, endocrinology and metabolism, and hospice and palliative care.

  How Grief Affects the Body: Physical Symptoms, the 6 Stages of Grief, and Finding Meaning After Loss with David Kessler 04.08.2026 54мин

  Can grief cause physical symptoms? Learn how loss may affect cortisol, inflammation, hormone balance, heart health, sleep, energy, and the nervous system. Grief is not only an emotional experience. It can affect the brain and body, yet many people feel pressured to stay strong, move on, or process their loss alone. In this episode, grief expert David Kessler explains what grief does to us physically and emotionally, why grief must be witnessed, and how meaningful healing can begin.We explore the five stages of grief, why they are not linear, and the misconceptions surrounding denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. David also shares how losing his 21-year-old son led him to identify meaning as the sixth stage of grief and explains why meaning is not found in the tragedy itself, but in what we choose to do afterward.David and Dr. Taz discuss the physical symptoms of grief, broken heart syndrome, post-traumatic growth, isolation, grief in men, and what to say when someone you love is grieving. They also explain why grief can result from divorce, betrayal, job loss, illness, lost identity, or the loss of the future you expected, not only the death of a loved one.This conversation is for educational purposes and should not replace individualized medical or mental health care.

  95% of Breast Cancer Has Nothing to Do With Your Genes | Dr. Kristi Funk 21.07.2026 1ч 21мин

  What if breast cancer risk is not determined only by your genes or family history? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with double board-certified breast cancer surgeon and lifestyle medicine physician Dr. Kristi Funk to discuss why breast cancer is becoming more common, especially among younger women, and what women can do to better understand and potentially reduce their risk.Dr. Funk explains why 95% of women diagnosed with breast cancer do not have a BRCA mutation and why 87% do not have a first-degree relative with the disease. Together, Dr. Taz and Dr. Funk explore how food, alcohol, exercise, body weight, stress, inflammation, environmental toxins, sleep, and hormone therapy may influence breast health.They also break down some of the most confusing questions surrounding breast cancer screening and treatment. Do mammograms cause cancer? Is ultrasound a good alternative? When should women begin breast exams? Are some cases of stage zero breast cancer being overtreated? And how much does menopause hormone therapy actually increase breast cancer risk?Breast cancer screening is important, but screening and prevention are not the same thing.
