In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy is with Dr. Jacqueline Junco, Department Chair of Integrative Medicine and WHO Board-certified integrative physician with 26 years of clinical experience, for a conversation about one of the most common and most misunderstood forces driving chronic disease: inflammation.

Dr. Junco opens by expanding on what most people think inflammation is. They walk through the practical tools that actually shift the body out of that chronic state and back into healing mode: acupuncture and how it activates the vagus nerve and parasympathetic system. How the ear massage is a free self-administered vagal stimulation tool, the 4-7-8 breathing technique, and why the exhale is the most important part; and the role of sleep, vegetables, functional mushrooms, and magnesium in bringing inflammation down at the root.

This is the practical episode our community has been asking for. Tune in to Fast Metabolism Matters.

In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy breaks down one of the most talked about and most misunderstood chemicals in our food supply: glyphosate. She walks through why it was approved for use on food crops in the first place, and why the logic that made it seem safe is the exact reason it poses such a serious risk to human health.

She covers how microbiome damage from glyphosate exposure triggers leaky gut syndrome, drives chronic inflammation, disrupts butyrate production, activates fat cell expansion through LPS signaling, and directly suppresses the neurotransmitter precursors tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine, meaning it is not just a gut issue. It is a serotonin issue. A dopamine issue. A brain function issue.

Tune in to Fast Metabolism Matters to learn how glyphosate disrupts the gut microbiome.

In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy sits down with Dr. Lubov Nathanson, Director of the Genomics Group at the Institute for Neuro Immune Medicine, to break down one of the most misunderstood and misused words in health right now: epigenetics.

Dr. Nathanson explains the difference between genetics, the fixed sequence of nucleotides in our DNA, and epigenetics, the vast set of factors that regulate which genes are expressed without changing the sequence itself. She walks through why the overwhelming majority of chronic diseases are not single-gene disorders but polygenic conditions.

Her core message is as clear as it is empowering: genetics loads the gun, epigenetics pulls the trigger.

In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy sits down with Dr. David Systrom, a pulmonary and critical care physician at Mass General Brigham and Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School, to explore the science behind exercise intolerance in ME/CFS and long COVID.

Dr. Systrom breaks down the invasive cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) and what it reveals about blood flow, oxygen extraction, and mitochondrial dysfunction in patients who have been told their tests are normal. He explains why dysautonomia, small fiber neuropathy, and acquired mitochondrial dysfunction may be driving the fatigue, post-exertional malaise, and wide-ranging symptoms these patients experience every day.

He also shares details on two active clinical trials at Brigham and Women's Hospital, including the LYFT trial testing low-dose naltrexone, Pyridostigmine (Mestinon), and the combination of both, as well as a muscle biopsy study designed to understand the role of the mitochondrion in post-exertional malaise.

In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy sits down with Dr. Theoharis Theoharides — Professor of Clinical Immunology and Executive Director of the Center for Excellence in Neuroinflammation Research — to dig into a topic that's finally getting the attention it deserves: multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) and its deep connection to mast cell activation.

Dr. Theoharides explains what actually happens in the immune system when the body is exposed to everyday chemicals — from perfume and jet fuel to formaldehyde in clothing and mycotoxins in food. He walks through the biology of mast cells, why stress dramatically lowers your chemical reaction threshold, and why so many patients go undiagnosed or are dismissed as "just sensitive."

Haylie brings her own personal experience with chemical sensitivity and autoimmune disease to the conversation, making this one of the most candid and clinically rich discussions we've had on the show. Whether you've been told your symptoms are in your head, or you've quietly suspected that your environment is making you sick, this episode is for you.

Tune in to Fast Metabolism Matters — and finally get the science to back up what your body has been telling you all along.

Dr. Theoharis Theoharides is a Professor, Vice Chair of Clinical Immunology, and Director at the Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine-Clearwater, an Adjunct Professor of Immunology at Tufts School of Medicine, where he was a Professor of Pharmacology and Internal Medicine, and also the Director of Molecular Immunopharmacology & Drug Discovery, and Clinical Pharmacologist at the Massachusetts Drug Formulary Commission (1983-2022). He received his BA, MS, MPhil, PhD, and MD degrees and the Winternitz Price in Pathology from Yale University and received a Certificate in Global Leadership from Tufts Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy and a Fellowship at Harvard Kennedy School of Government. He trained in internal medicine at New England Medical Center, which awarded him the Oliver Smith Award, "recognizing excellence, compassion, and service." Dr. Theoharides has 485 publications (46,491 citations; h-index 106), placing him in the world's top 2% of most cited authors, and he was rated the worldwide expert on mast cells by Expertscape. He was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha National Medical Honor Society, the Rare Diseases Hall of Fame, and the World Academy of Sciences.
