Calcium is the raw material for bone, but where it ends up depends on other nutrients. In Part 4 of his osteoporosis series, Dr. Bajaj covers bone nutrition beyond calcium: vitamin D3 and K2, food choices and inflammation, dairy, protein, and gut support.

Anchorage, two years ago this month. I gave a four-hour lecture on sleep, cognition and intelligence for , and the aurora showed up as an unplanned bonus.

The lecture has grown since then. The current version covers every topic in my updated sleep hygiene series, including caffeine, alcohol and screen time, plus the ones still headed to the blog. Breathing is the thread through all of it.

I teach this lecture for associations, colleges and in-house teams

Milwaukee, this past Friday: an in-house training for Chiropractic Company, on the night the whole city wore Brewers jerseys for Game 1 of the World Series. Great team, full room, and a sticker collection I'm taking home, my fav "In Ope We Trust" Thank you to Morgan and Foot Levelers. That's a wrap on the fall run: Charleston, Cleveland, Maryland, Milwaukee.

Reflux is often a stress-mode problem. When your body senses threat, digestion drops to the bottom of the priority list, and stress breathing leaves the diaphragm underused right where it helps keep reflux down.

Trials in people with reflux have linked diaphragmatic breathing to less acid exposure. In this video, Dr. Bajaj shares the four rules he teaches: breathe through the nose, breathe with the belly, make the exhale twice as long as the inhale, and keep a small pause between every breath.

Screens before bed can affect how fast you fall asleep, how well you stay asleep, and when you get to bed. The light is only part of the story. Dr. Bajaj explains why behavior comes first, and the simple rule he starts with: screens off at least one hour before bed, two if you can.

Thank you to clevelandunivkc for having me back again.

I taught a new lecture on common lower extremity problems in practice. The idea running through it: misalignment is a signal, and pronation is the larger pattern behind it. It drives the kinetic chain and connects the foot back to the pelvis and spine, in both directions.

Grateful to everyone who joined the session, the sponsor Foot Levelers and to the organizers who put the weekend together.

Reflux and chronic lung problems show up together constantly, and it's not a coincidence.

There are two connections. The slow one runs through the gut: years of acid blockers disrupt the digestive system, and that affects inflammation throughout the body, lungs included. The fast one is mechanical: struggling to breathe changes the pressure in your chest and pulls stomach contents upward. So the lungs make the reflux worse, and the reflux makes the lungs worse.

Acid suppression is the standard approach to reflux, and so far it hasn't found a way to protect the lungs any better.

This is Part 2 of our series on reflux, acid, and whole-body health. Full breakdown with the research on the blog: https://gowellrooted.com/acid-reflux-lung-disease-hidden-connections/

Depression isn't always a willpower problem. It's often a messaging problem.

Dopamine works like a running tally in the brain, an acknowledgment that something good just happened. In a person with blunted reward signaling, the good deed still happens, but the body doesn't register it. That's why the same lifestyle advice works for one person and does almost nothing for another.

Dr. Bajaj breaks down two mechanisms behind depression, and why behavior and lifestyle are often the real lever. Full post on the blog: https://gowellrooted.com/depression-and-brain-energy/

Your spinal discs have no blood supply of their own. Dr. Bajaj explains how they get fed anyway, through a thin layer of bone above and below each disc called the endplate, and why movement is what actually drives that exchange.

Part 2 in an ongoing series on osteoporosis, covering bone metabolism and what happens when the endplate calcifies.

Reflux feels like a heartburn problem. It isn't just that.

Most people treat reflux as something to quiet down with whatever's in the medicine cabinet and move on with their day. But reflux is a sign that something's off with digestion, not just with what's coming back up. And when it's left unaddressed, it doesn't stay contained to the stomach. Over time, it can start affecting how you breathe too.

This is Part 1 of a series on what reflux actually is, and what it actually takes to resolve it, not just manage it. Full breakdown on the blog: https://gowellrooted.com/acid-reflux-long-term-ppi-side-effects/
