Recorded in Dr. Eric Dorninger’s Colorado studio, the episode focuses on chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS), aiming to educate listeners on what it is and how to identify and treat it.

Dorninger explains his background in naturopathic medicine and the “therapeutic order,” emphasizing validated diagnostics over symptom-chasing and criticizing urinary mycotoxin testing as a non-diagnostic exposure marker. He describes CIRS as a multi-symptom, multi-system illness driven by biotoxin exposures (including water-damaged buildings/mold, actinobacteria, endotoxin, algae blooms, tick co-infections, and recluse spider venom) interacting with immune-response genetics (HLA, present in most CIRS cases). He outlines screening via symptom clusters and the visual contrast sensitivity test, confirmatory labs, and treatment with the Shoemaker/CIRS Protocol—prioritizing removal from exposure, prescription binders, and, when indicated, VIP to address brain effects—while discussing remediation standards, CIRSx, and the role of trauma/loneliness without reducing CIRS to “nervous system” issues alone.

Becca shares all the things that have helped her manage her lipedema!

In this episode, she walks through her lived experience with lipedema—an understudied, progressive condition often affecting women—and explains common symptoms (symmetrical “tree trunk” legs, reduced ankle/knee definition, easy bruising, pain/tenderness, swelling, nodules, and resistance to calorie restriction/excess cardio), plus overlaps with vascular issues, hypermobility/EDS, and histamine-type symptoms.

She shares all the conservative treatments that have made a difference in her lipedema. This is one you don't want to miss.

Becca Golden interviews Ryan Encinas about nutrition, free radicals, oxidative stress, antioxidants, inflammation, and a new device called PRYSM.

Ryan shares his background in cancer research and surgery at MD Anderson and his later training in nutrition, biochem, and genetics, arguing Western medicine excels in emergencies but often misses root causes tied to chronic nutrient deficiencies and toxin overload.

He defines “diet” as a way of life and outlines six foundational needs: minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, protein, fiber, and fat.

This episode defines oxidative stress/inflammation, and how it damages cell membrane permeability. The episode includes a live demo of PRYSM testing Becca's cellular health!
