Brain injuries are serious, without a doubt, but recovery from them is possible. Treatment rarely results in overnight improvement, but with patience and consistency, patients’ quality of life can improve. It’s also very important to seek medical help as soon as possible when a brain injury is suspected.

Dr. Carling specialized in treating brain injuries in a previous practice and still treats brain injuries today in her current practice. In this podcast episode, she shares a few stories of treating brain injury patients with acupuncture and their subsequent recovery, what the types of brain injuries are, and what can be done to help those who suffer from a brain injury and/or coma.

Your gut affects far more than digestion. 🧠💚

It plays a central role in mood, immunity, hormones, inflammation, and even how resilient you feel under stress. When the gut is out of balance, symptoms can show up almost anywhere—and often seem unrelated.

In this article, we explain why gut health influences the entire body and how restoring digestion at the root can support energy, mental clarity, immune strength, and hormonal balance.

👉 Read the article: Why Gut Health Affects Everything: Mood, Immunity, Hormones, and More https://smpl.is/ag73r

If you’re dealing with ongoing digestive issues, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, hormone symptoms, or frequent illness, your gut may be the missing link.

As we head into 2026, many of us are thinking about goals: what to improve, what to let go of, and how to live better. But what if the real question isn’t how long we live, but how well we live?

In this podcast episode, Dr. Holly Carling and Alicia shift the conversation from lifespan to healthspan - the number of years you live with vitality, independence, mental clarity, and joy. Dr. Carling explains why modern medicine has extended lifespan without protecting quality of life, and how inflammation, nutrition, stress, and mindset quietly determine how we age.

You’ll learn how acupuncture, real food, emotional resilience, and intentional thinking can slow decline, restore balance, and help you build a future where strength, clarity, and purpose last well into later decades.

This episode is a powerful invitation to rethink your 2026 goals, not as resolutions, but as investments in your future self.

Herniated discs are painful, frustrating, and surprisingly common, but what most people don’t realize is how closely disc health is tied to lifestyle, nutrition, posture, and overall inflammation.

In this podcast episode, Dr. Holly Carling and Alicia break down the different types of herniated discs, why they happen, and how disc degeneration develops over time. Dr. Carling explains the major contributors such as dehydration and poor nutrition to smoking, inactivity, excess sugar, and spinal misalignment, and why supporting collagen, hydration, and nutrient density is essential for long-term disc health.

You’ll also learn how acupuncture works to reduce inflammation, relieve nerve compression, improve circulation, and support true healing rather than simply masking symptoms.
