You've seen the videos—metal tools scraping skin, leaving red marks, and promising to “break up scar tissue.” But what’s really happening during Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM)? In this episode, we cut through the noise and break down what IASTM actually does (and doesn’t do).

You’ll learn:

• How IASTM stimulates the nervous system to reduce pain

• Why the “scar tissue” myth is outdated and misleading

• Who benefits most from this technique

• Why it works best when paired with strength and movement

Tired of being told you're "fine" when you know you're not thriving? If you've bounced from doctor to doctor without real answers—or avoided medical visits because you expect to be dismissed—you’re not alone.

We cover:

• The four pillars of lifestyle medicine: sleep, stress, movement, and nutrition.

• Why “normal” lab results don’t always mean you’re actually well—and how to spot the difference between surviving and thriving.

• Health optimization tools like hormone therapy, peptides (BPC-157), PEMF, ozone therapy, and molecular hydrogen.

• How functional and integrative medicine digs deeper—helping you feel more energy, clarity, and control.

This is your invitation to stop settling for “not sick” and start aiming for optimal health. Whether you’re frustrated, skeptical, or just curious, this episode is packed with tools to help you take ownership of your well-being—without meds, injections, or surgery as the first answer.

“Your labs are normal.”
If you’ve heard that but still feel exhausted, stressed, sleepless, or just not like yourself—you’re not alone. And you’re not crazy.

Dr. Angela Moore was a conventional doctor who saw too many women dismissed, unheard, and underserved. So she left the system and built something better. In this episode, Dr. Moore shares why most traditional bloodwork misses key hormone imbalances, and what happens when women’s health is finally taken seriously—with time, testing, and truth.

You’ll learn:

• Why you can feel awful even when your labs are “normal”

• The real signs of perimenopause most doctors ignore

• How direct primary care changes everything

• The hormone treatments and pelvic floor solutions no one told you about

• Why you deserve care that listens—and lasts longer than 7 minutes

If you’ve been told to “just deal with it,” this episode is for you. Dr. Moore shows that menopause doesn’t have to mean misery—and that feeling good again is not only possible, it’s your right.

Based in Wichita? Dr. Moore may just be the second opinion that finally makes sense
