Your blood sugar doesn't only respond to what you eat. 👀

Stress and sleep can play a role, too.

In this audience Q&A at Hyperbaric Plus, Keith Bishop and Paul Conrady explore how chronic stress, disrupted sleep, cortisol, and blood glucose may interact.

🧠 Why can stress affect blood sugar?

🌙 What happens when you're constantly waking up at night?

🩸 Can glucose readings change even when your diet hasn't?

Keith and Paul also discuss the body's internal environment, sometimes called its "terrain," and their perspectives on fungal balance.

The interesting part? Your body doesn't experience stress, sleep, and metabolism as completely separate systems.

What happens at night may help explain what you're seeing during the day.

👇 Have you ever noticed your sleep or stress levels affecting your energy or glucose readings?

SUNSHINE DEFICIT: Americans spend 93% of their lives indoors, and a doctor says it's fueling four hidden health problems: bad sleep, burnout, brain fog and belly fat.

Dr. John La Puma, a California physician and expert in nature-based medicine, told Fox News Digital that most people don't realize indoor living is why they crash every afternoon, can't sleep at night and need coffee just to feel normal.

His prescription is surprisingly simple: just 17 intentional minutes outdoors each day, starting with 10 minutes of bright morning light within the first hour of waking.

Cold, flu, COVID-19, RSV, and other respiratory infections can open the door to pneumonia. The goal is not to “boost” immunity. It is to keep every layer of airway defense staffed, supplied, and working.

In this Chamber Chatter episode, Paul Conrady of Hyperbaric Plus joins Keith Bishop Prevail Over Cancer, Clinical Nutritionist, Cancer Coach, Retired Pharmacist, and Integrative Oncology Educator with Prevail Over Cancer for:

PNEUMONIA PREVENTION: GUARD THE FRONT DOOR
Keep Every Layer of Your Airway Defense Staffed and Supplied

Pneumonia inflames the alveoli, the tiny air sacs in one or both lungs. They can fill with fluid or pus, making it harder for oxygen to enter the blood. Common causes include influenza, COVID-19, RSV, and bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Germs generally enter through droplets and shared air, or by aspiration, when bacteria from the mouth or throat slip into the lungs. A viral illness can also damage the airway lining and set up a second-wave bacterial pneumonia.

WHO IS AT HIGHER RISK?

Keith reviews cancer treatment, low white counts, nutrient gaps, gum disease, dentures, dry mouth, swallowing problems, smoking or va**ng, heavy alcohol use, short sleep, inactivity, acid reducers, sedatives, opioids, long-term steroids, age over 65, COPD, asthma, diabetes, heart or kidney disease, and recent viral infection.

THE FIVE LAYERS OF AIRWAY DEFENSE

1. Barrier: nose, mucus, cilia, and secretory IgA trap and sweep germs out.
2. First responders: macrophages, neutrophils, NK cells, and interferons attack within hours.
3. Supply lines: zinc, vitamin D, protein, and sleep help fuel immune cells.
4. Trained responders: T cells, B cells, antibodies, and vaccine memory.
5. Clean-up: inflammation settles and the airway lining repairs itself.

ASSESS, DON’T GUESS

Testing to discuss includes CBC with differential, 25-hydroxy vitamin D, zinc and copper together, albumin and total protein, fasting glucose and A1c, hs-CRP, ferritin, B12 and folate, and immunoglobulins if infections keep recurring.

Other evaluations may include a dental exam, denture fit, swallow evaluation, medication review, lung function testing for COPD or asthma, learning your normal pulse-ox reading, and having a fever/low-white-count plan with your oncology team.

GET CARE URGENTLY FOR

Any fever during chemotherapy, shortness of breath or fast breathing, oxygen below your normal or below 92%, chest pain with breathing, new confusion or unusual drowsiness, bluish lips, coughing up blood, or a fever that returns after a cold seemed to improve.

STRATEGIES DISCUSSED

• Vitamin D3: trial meta-analyses show a small reduction in acute respiratory infections, strongest in deficient people.
• Zinc: may shorten some respiratory illnesses; long-term use can lower copper.
• Beta-glucan: early evidence for fewer cold episodes.
• Probiotics: may reduce upper respiratory infections, but require caution with severe neutropenia, central lines, or after transplant.
• Vitamin C: modestly shortens colds; prevention benefit is limited for the general population.
• NAC: early evidence for fewer flu-like symptom episodes; discuss timing with chemo or radiation.
• Elderberry: early evidence for reducing upper-respiratory symptoms after illness starts.
• Oral care: mechanical oral hygiene lowered pneumonia and pneumonia deaths in older hospital and nursing-home populations.
• Exercise: active adults had fewer and milder respiratory-infection days.
• Sauna: observational evidence links frequent use with lower pneumonia risk; avoid with fever, low blood pressure, or low counts.

DAILY DEFENSE HABITS

Eat protein at every meal. Include zinc- and vitamin C-rich foods, fermented foods, mushrooms, garlic, onions, and green tea. Wash hands, improve ventilation, avoid touching your face, consider masking in crowds during respiratory surges if immunosuppressed, keep airways moist, sleep 7–9 hours, stop smoking and va**ng, limit alcohol, steady blood sugar, walk daily, take deep breaths, and sit upright after meals.

The action plan begins with dental care and airway habits, then labs and medication review, followed by correcting deficiencies with your practitioner and building consistent sleep, movement, nutrition, and approved supportive strategies.

“Which peptide should I use?”

Jesse thinks there's a better question to ask first:

What does your data actually show?

In this conversation, Jesse breaks down the growing world of peptides, including KPV, copper peptides, BPC-157, ARA-290, and GLP-1s, while explaining why simply adding more compounds isn't necessarily a smarter strategy.

The bigger message is about having a process.

🧪 Get appropriate labs.
📊 Establish your baseline.
📈 Track trends over time.
🥗 Don't ignore nutrition and gut health.
🎯 Make informed decisions instead of chasing the newest compound.

Because peptides aren't magic.

And more isn't automatically better.

Some of the compounds discussed, including BPC-157, KPV and ARA-290, are investigational and are not FDA-approved treatments. Peptide use should be discussed with a qualified healthcare professional.

💥 The peptide isn't the plan. The plan is the plan.

👇 Comment “LABS” if you want more conversations about what to measure before making your next move.

Breakfast.

A snack.

Coffee with something sweet.

Another snack.

Lunch.

A few chips.

Another “little something.”

By the end of the day, have you actually stopped eating long enough to notice the pattern?

Frequent snacking, especially on refined carbohydrates and sugary foods, can mean repeated rises and falls in blood glucose throughout the day.

For some people, that cycle can influence hunger, cravings, energy, and concentration, making it easier to reach for something else a few hours later.

The answer isn’t necessarily “never snack.”

It’s asking a better question:

Why am I hungry again already?

🥩 Prioritize protein
🥦 Choose nutrient-dense whole foods
🥑 Include healthy fats and fiber
🍪 Pay attention to highly processed snacks
📊 Notice how different meals affect your hunger and energy

A satisfying meal should do more than taste good. It should actually give your body something to work with.

💥 Assess, don’t guess.

👇 Are you a three-meals person or an all-day snacker?

“I think I feel better.”

Okay... but can you measure it?

When you're trying to understand changes in your health, how you feel matters, but objective measurements can add another layer to the story.

🩸 Blood labs
🫁 Breathing measurements
🧠 Cognitive assessments
⚡ Reaction time
📊 Other measurable baselines

Establish the baseline.
Track it over time.
Then look for the trend.

Because one number rarely tells the whole story. Patterns over time can be much more informative.

And when you're dealing with a long-term health issue, documented measurements can also make conversations with healthcare professionals, insurers, and other organizations much clearer, although reimbursement requirements vary and tracking data does not guarantee coverage.

💥 Your body keeps receipts. Start tracking them.
👇 What's ONE health number you wish you had started tracking years ago?

Numb toes. Burning feet. Tingling fingers. What if the better question is: what is starving or injuring the nerve?

In this Chamber Chatter episode, Paul Conrady of Hyperbaric Plus joins Keith Bishop, Clinical Nutritionist, Cancer Coach, Retired Pharmacist, and Integrative Oncology Educator with Prevail Over Cancer for:

NEUROPATHY: GET TO THE SOURCE
Restore Blood Flow. Feed the Nerve. Prevail. Assess. Don’t Guess.

Sensory nerves can cause numbness, tingling, burning, and pain; motor nerves can cause weakness and cramps; autonomic nerves can affect dizziness, digestion, and sweating. Symptoms often begin in the toes and fingertips because the longest nerves have the farthest distance to cover.

WHERE IS IT?

• Both feet or hands creeping upward: consider body-wide causes such as circulation, blood sugar, nutrients, toxins, or medications.
• One limb with neck or back pain: consider a pinched nerve root.
• Thumb to middle finger, worse at night: consider carpal tunnel.
• Symptoms after chemotherapy or a new drug: consider treatment-related neuropathy.

ROOT CAUSES

Keith reviews poor circulation; diabetes/prediabetes; peripheral artery disease; smoking; high blood pressure; B12, B1, folate, iron or copper problems; excess B6 or zinc; nerve compression; chemotherapy and other medications; autoimmune or infectious causes; thyroid, kidney and liver disease; and inherited neuropathies.

THE CIRCULATION CONNECTION

Tiny vessels called the vasa nervorum feed each nerve. In diabetic neuropathy, reduced blood flow and low oxygen can appear before obvious nerve damage.

The sequence:
1. High sugar, lipids, inflammation, or smoking injure vessels.
2. Less blood reaches the nerve.
3. Oxygen and nutrients fall and nerve energy drops.
4. Oxidative stress damages nerve membranes and fibers.
5. Fibers die back from the far end, producing numbness, burning, and pain.

Blood flow is a major driver, but not the only one. The goal is to restore circulation, replace what is missing, and calm the injury.

ASSESS, DON’T GUESS

Testing discussed includes fasting glucose, A1c and insulin; B12 with MMA and homocysteine; folate and B1; CBC, ferritin, iron, TIBC and % saturation; B6, copper and zinc; TSH; CMP; lipids and hs-CRP.

Other assessments may include a foot exam, ankle-brachial index, medication/supplement review, spine MRI, nerve conduction/EMG, and skin biopsy for suspected small-fiber disease.

URGENT RED FLAGS

Seek urgent evaluation for sudden or fast-spreading weakness, numbness in the groin or “saddle” area, or new loss of bladder or bowel control.

RESTORE BLOOD FLOW AND FEED THE NERVE

• Exercise: small studies found aerobic and strength training reduced pain and improved nerve measures.
• Correct deficiencies: untreated B12 deficiency can become permanent. Avoid excess B6 and high zinc without copper.
• Alpha-lipoic acid: moderate evidence in diabetic neuropathy; may lower blood sugar.
• NAC: early evidence from small diabetic and chemotherapy-related neuropathy trials. It is not acetyl-L-carnitine, which ASCO advises against for chemotherapy neuropathy.
• Hyperbaric therapies: a meta-analysis of 14 randomized clinical hyperbaric oxygen trials reported better response and faster nerve conduction in diabetic neuropathy, with publication bias noted. The handout also discusses mild hyperbaric air as a gentler exposure.
• Red light / photobiomodulation: early pilot evidence for possible nerve-cell energy and local blood-flow support.
• Sauna / heat: early and mixed evidence; numb skin raises burn risk.
• Nattokinase: no neuropathy trials and important bleeding cautions.
• Citrulline, arginine and beet juice: evidence relates more to circulation and peripheral artery disease than neuropathy itself and may lower blood pressure.

Also protect blood sugar and vessels, stop smoking, reduce alcohol, review medications, inspect numb feet daily, avoid heating pads or hot soaks, and include balance training.

For painful chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, the handout notes ASCO recommends duloxetine; TENS and acupuncture have earlier evidence.

THE PREVAIL ACTION PLAN

Assess first. Remove obvious nerve stressors. Restore circulation and missing nutrients. Recheck labs, A1c and foot health around 3 months, and track symptoms weekly.

Prevail. Assess. Don’t Guess.
