Everyone is talking about protein right now.

But what if we’re missing the bigger picture?

In this episode of New Frontiers in Functional Medicine, I sit down with Dr. Tom Fabian from Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory to explore something most clinicians aren’t thinking about enough:

👉 the gut–muscle axis

Because more protein doesn’t automatically mean more muscle.

It depends on:
• how well your patient can digest and absorb it
• what their microbiome is doing with it
• and whether protein is being used… or fermented

We dive into:
• why some patients don’t tolerate high-protein diets
• how poor digestion can drive inflammation + food reactivity
• the role of fiber + polyphenols in balancing protein metabolism
• and how the microbiome influences muscle, immunity, and longevity

This is a nuanced, clinically actionable conversation that challenges the “more protein = better” narrative.

If you’re working with patients on muscle, aging, or metabolic health, this one matters.

Are you looking for a natural way to combat thinning hair and boost scalp health? While many know microneedling for its amazing facial results, it is a game-changer for hair restoration!

By creating controlled micro-channels in the scalp, we trigger the body's natural healing response to revitalize dormant follicles.

Why Choose Microneedling for Hair?

• Boosted Circulation: Stimulates blood flow to the scalp, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen directly to the hair roots.

• Natural Growth Factors: Triggers the release of proteins that encourage hair follicles to stay in the "growth phase" longer, leading to thicker, denser hair.

• Maximum Absorption: Those tiny channels allow our specialized hair growth serums to pe*****te deeper, making your topical treatments significantly more effective.

• Minimal Down-Time: A quick, professional treatment with a battery-operated device for a comfortable and efficient experience.

Infrared sauna therapy is emerging as a meaningful way to support core aging pathways, from improved vascular function and reduced inflammation to enhanced mitochondrial resilience and heat shock protein activation.

In fact, frequent sauna use has been associated with up to a 40% reduction in all-cause mortality.

This isn’t just relaxation. It’s hormesis, a controlled stressor that activates protective biology.

When used consistently and layered with nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress regulation, sauna therapy can become a valuable part of a longevity strategy.

We break down the science, mechanisms, and how to use it in the full article.
