On Blood Thinners With AFIB, Hot Flashes That Won’t Quit, and the Question Every Wellness Consumer Is Afraid to Ask — Is This Industry Just Guessing?
This hour of Health Talk America hits close to home for millions of listeners. Dr. Adam Brockman answers a caller on Eliquis with AFIB who wants to do more naturally without risking a dangerous interaction. A husband calls in for his wife who has been battling relentless hot flashes well into her sixties despite doing everything right. A frustrated listener asks the question the wellness industry doesn’t want you to ask — is functional medicine just another pay-to-play guessing game, and how do you actually find practitioners who deserve your trust? And a caller with aortic stenosis wants to know if aged garlic can help. The answer is yes — and there’s a specific formula for it. Plus a health tip so simple you’ll wonder why no one told you sooner.

The Hormone Conversation Medicine Keeps Getting WrongÂ
If you have ever been told you are too young for hormone changes — or walked out of a doctor’s office with more questions than answers — this episode is for you. Dr. Adam Brockman sits down with naturopathic physician and women’s integrative health specialist Dr. AnnaAlisa Behling for one of the most clinically honest conversations about perimenopause and menopause you will find anywhere. They cover what is actually happening hormonally during the transition, why conventional medicine keeps getting the timeline wrong, the surprising role your gut plays in estrogen balance, and the specific nutrients and dietary strategies that can change the trajectory of symptoms. This is not a feel-good overview. This is the conversation your doctor should have had with you years ago.
Your Labs Say Normal. Your Body Says Different. Plus: The Cannabis Condition Filling ERs That Nobody Is Talking About.
A landmark 21-year NIH study just confirmed what integrative medicine has argued for decades — lifestyle beats drugs for preventing chronic disease. Dr. Adam Brockman breaks down the week’s top health headlines, delivers a must-hear message for Men’s Health Month, answers a listener who’s exhausted, foggy, and gaining weight despite “normal” bloodwork, and closes with the most counterintuitive medical reveal of the year: why daily cannabis users are flooding emergency rooms with uncontrollable vomiting — and why the treatment that actually works is a hot shower and capsaicin cream. All of that, plus the gut-healing supplement your doctor has probably never mentioned. Find show notes and research references at healthtalkamerica.com.
