   Meet Our New Chiropractor: Why He Studied Neurology & Functional Medicine | EP 161

   What happens when a chiropractor decides to go beyond traditional chiropractic training and study neurology and functional medicine? In this episode of the Real Health Podcast, Dr. Amir Rashidian sits down with Dr. Sean Grady, the newest chiropractor to join the team, to talk about his 15 years of chiropractic experience, advanced training, concussions, neurology, functional medicine, sports, family, and what ultimately led him to chiropractic. Dr. Sean Grady shares why he pursued advanced training in neurology and functional medicine, how his own experience with a concussion and seizure-like neurological symptoms influenced his interest in neurology, and why he believes additional education can help chiropractors recognize when a patient may need care beyond their scope. The conversation also covers what chiropractic school is really like, gross anatomy and cadaver lab experiences, playing football, basketball and baseball, the risks of contact sports, and the differences Dr. Sean noticed between his experiences in medical and chiropractic education. Toward the end, the conversation takes a more personal turn as Dr. Sean discusses his philosophy on finding fulfillment, taking chances, learning from failure, and defining success in life.

   Are We Getting Health Advice Wrong? Vaccines, GLP-1s & Peptides | EP 159

   Are vaccines, GLP-1 weight loss drugs, artificial sweeteners, supplements, and peptides actually as safe and effective as we've been told? In this episode of the Real Health Podcast, Brandi and Dr. Amir Rashidian discuss controversial health topics, medical research, FDA regulation, nutrition, and the science behind some of today's biggest health debates. The conversation covers childhood vaccine recommendations, GLP-1 drugs such as Mounjaro and Wegovy, reported adverse reactions, artificial sweeteners and brain health, dietary supplements, FDA regulation, food additives, peptides such as BPC-157 and TB-500, and whether newer approaches to health deserve more research. The hosts also discuss the long-running debate surrounding cholesterol, eggs, butter, and heart disease—and look back at an older health article to ask how medical advice can change over time. Topics discussed: • Childhood vaccines and vaccine recommendations • GLP-1 weight loss medications • Mounjaro, Wegovy and Saxenda • Artificial sweeteners and brain health • Sugar substitutes and metabolism • Dietary supplements and FDA regulation • Food additives and processed foods • Peptides and regenerative health • BPC-157 and TB-500 • Peptide research and safety • Cholesterol, eggs and butter • How health recommendations change • Conventional vs. holistic approaches to health Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:23 FPN 00:37 Netflix? 01:16 Today's Articles 04:02 Trump Returns To Controversy 18:11 150 Dead After What? 21:31 Sugar Substitutes = Fast Aging? 23:25 FDA Not Approving Supplements 28:02 Under Regulated Dietary Supplements 34:03 Food Additives 39:14 Loosing Restrictions 46:52 Meet Hector 52:47 Outro 📍 Mid-Atlantic Chiropractic Center 🎙️ Powered by Frederick Podcast Network 🔔 Subscribe for weekly deep dives into real health topics, practical advice, and functional wellness strategies.
