Hi, I'm Susan Bratton, your trusted hot sex adviser, and I'm here with Dr. Madiha
Saeed. Madiha has written a new book that I am totally in love with. You can get it
on Amazon and it's about chronic inflammation and it's called 'The
Holistic RX, like the holistic prescription to your health,
and Dr. Saeed and I are going to talk about what chronic inflammation
is and how it could be affecting your sexual vitality, your sexual health, your
erectile function, which is important for not just men but women and your pleasure.
So Dr. Saeed, I'm just gonna call you Madiha during the interview. Is that okay?
Excellent. Alright, so my first question is let's
just talk about what chronic inflammation is and give us a couple of
examples of the most common kinds of chronic inflammation people could be
suffering with. Like how do you know if it's chronic inflammation you have that
could be causing your problems? Absolutely. Oh my gosh, just thank you so
much for this honor. This is so exciting. So a topic near and dear to my heart.
Inflammation, and it really means, actually means, fire inside and something
that we're all familiar with, that the hot fierce life-saving reaction that
occurs when your body's immune system is trying to fight off infections, heal
injuries, and protecting us from disease. So all of that and basically we
would be left in danger, in a hostile world if it wasn't for
inflammation. There's two types of inflammation. There is an acute
inflammation, and that's a good inflammation. It serves a healthy purpose.
It lasts for a short time. That's basically if you cut yourself, a quick
sore throat, something that doesn't last a long time and you get over it. But
then too much of a good thing can lead to something called chronic inflammation.
Chronic inflammation is that hidden smouldering fire that
burns inside, that burns because of these constant chronic triggers from the
outside world and the internal world, for example as the body
tries to fight off unhealthy food, stresses, toxins, allergens and overgrowth
of bad bugs, low-grade infections, all driving obesity and chronic disease of
every stripe. So some of the symptoms that you would look for, you can
see these in young children starting from chronic ear infections to
allergies to asthma, colicky baby, constipation, digestive issues and as we
get older - all of your headaches, visual changes, waking around the midsection,
problems with joint pain, any way you have pain, it's inflammation,
allergies. We give you an anti-inflammatory, it's inflammation-
related, digestive complaints. No matter what you're dealing with, autoimmunity
and even cancers. So the list goes on and on about what kind of
symptoms can come from chronic inflammation, and I see it all in
my practice. So even all those vague symptoms that you don't really
talk to your doctor about can also be due to inflammation. Let's
start with women and when they're having loss of libido, painful intercourse, loss
of orgasmic capacity, those kinds of things, and they look like they might be
reasonably healthy people, but they can't really tell why they don't feel
good. Often it is chronic inflammation. How do you get to what the root cause of
it is? How do you get to know where in your body this inflammation is? I mean some
people you can tell they have gum disease, their teeth aren't good.
So they've got a lot of inflammation in their mouth which leads to heart disease.
Some women have upset stomachs. They don't go to the bathroom with regularity
or they have diarrhea all the time so they have dysbiosis, gut issues. How
does a woman pinpoint her issues enough to be able to reverse them because we're
going to talk about how to reverse chronic inflammation as well, but how
does a woman narrow it down? I don't feel good. I'm not sexually interested and
there's nothing specifically wrong with me that I'm aware of.
My first appointment is about an hour
apiece. I go through everything. I want to know everything and anything about that
woman or the patient that I have. They can just
think about themselves. Also, where do their deficiencies lie because
inflammation is a complex problem. And it's complex because the fact
that it is all these different pieces. I really like to focus on deficits in any
of your digestive health and detoxification and the four S - stress,
sleep, social and spiritual health. Deficits in any of those can lead to
inflammation and cause chronic problems. So because some people
could be eating really well but then they have a lot of negativity in their
lives or if you are a positive person but then your life
is full of toxins. So everybody has their specific
imbalances. And really targeting once we go through
those specific areas keeping in mind that that's where my deficiency may
be and then trying to really focus on that is a great starting point to
help with not just libido issues or other sexual issues but really all
the overall health and wellness and happiness. A lot of times a person
will know "oh, it's my sleep that's a problem. I can't sleep." Okay then
you drill down. Basically you're looking for a
person to tell you where they feel that things aren't operating well in their
life and then you get someone who says "I'm happy, I eat well, I feel
I get enough sleep but I just don't have that
vitality, that desire," and borrowing the fact that they're annoyed with their
partner. Then we have to look at things like the toxins in life.
I've been talking to my fans and followers a lot about changing their makeup,
shampoos, body soaps and lotions and the fact that your skin is
the biggest organ in your body and you're absorbing the laundry detergent
that you use, the dry cleaning fluid, the the fire retardants that are on
your new carpets or your sofas, not only all of the
convenience foods that one consumes, but the plastic-coded containers you buy
them in. Exactly, with all those xenoestrogens and their hormones,
the endocrine disruptors. The fact that you
hydrate but you're drinking out of plastic water bottles. There's
so many things to unwind even in our environment that can make a
difference. I had a sore throat and my doctor gave me
antibiotics and I took them and now she's killed off the
good bacteria in my digestive system in addition to yeast infection. Exactly,
it's an ongoing issue. This is where I start off
with all of my patients, in a specific place. I listen to
their story, I figure out what's going on with them, this is why
I named my book "The Holistic RX"
And it's because of the fact that this is really where I start with my patients
and I feel if we can have a really good baseline and
the rest of it we can build on them a lot better. Once our baseline is
strong, this is where I can move to my
beautiful little diagram here where deficits in any of these
pieces can lead to inflammation. That can cause your chronic diseases and so we
can quickly talk about each one of those, because where I start all my
patients on is with spirituality and gratitude and because that in
itself can turn genes on and off. It influences everything down
to your epigenetics and it lowers inflammation. They have done
studies where your heart rate variability if you're frustrated with
life and with your partner, your heart rate variability is
all over the place but when you're living a life of appreciation
things work so much better and it is coherent. And then when your
heart rate variability is like that then every year hormones start to work better
then you're less stressed and that improves your cortisol. We'll talk about
that but it works so much better and then especially for women I feel
like that is one place when every time I have a woman who comes to me with some
sort of issues, we got to start with a gratitude. He doesn't
do this, he doesn't do that, he doesn't do this. Let's focus on what he does
and now he's more sexy to you.
So really focusing on the positivity of what's going on in the world around
us what we have instead of focusing and what we've not been given really helps
with the overall lowering inflammation and how you feel inside and out.
Can you completely get rid of inflammation in your body? Can you be inflammation free?
What would it take to do that? So just with these pieces you can really try. I mean
obviously it's a balancing act. So for example I have four
children, 10 and under, I live with my in-laws, they live with me
and my husband works. He's also a family physician so has 80-hour work weeks
literally. So we're all trying to maintain this balance. We do the
best we can but I know for example I've had people with severe chronic
issues. My first patient was a 31- year-old with nine autoimmune diseases
myasthenia gravis, psoriasis, Sjogren's, Hashimoto's, a list
that goes on and on and she no longer suffers from any of those conditions. I myself
had lupus and Hashimoto's, and all these other acnes, dermatitis,
and digestive complaints. I no longer suffer from those conditions and now
that I know where my baseline is, I can tell when my body is feeling off-balance.
This is where I really like to focus on these
aspects to try to keep your body as low as inflammation as possible. So when
somebody really gets to know their baseline then it
becomes a balancing act of "Okay, today I'm more stressed, so I better do
this and this is why I'm having this, this is why I'm feeling this way. So let's
shift that stress management a little bit more
so that it becomes more of a balancing act. But how does it take to clean it
all up? Again it depends on the person. I've had people if they're really
gung-ho, in three months four months. I've had people where I saw recently
somebody with Petraeus's Ruby at Polaris and she is head-to-toe like a worst
eczema that you've ever seen. Her body's burning on fire and Grave's
disease, all these conditions. Three months it took her to reverse her
conditions. What did she do? So we talked about the
spirituality. Then we have social health which love does heal,
oxytocin, all of that is really important for the healing component. We have sleep,
making sure we're optimizing our sleep. That's when we're making all of our hormones,
that's when we're detoxing, lowering inflammation. So making
sure that we're sleeping properly. Stress leads to 80% of the
complaints that come to primary care physician and with
elevated cortisol levels, sex is the last thing on your mind.
Or we can help improve the the stress management by having lots
of sex. So it's an ongoing cycle. A fortuitous cycle.
and then we have detoxification that you had spoken about earlier. Just really
trying to clean up the environment and then working on the gut
health. Whenever you put food in your mouth, you want to make sure that it
follows three criteria. You want to make sure that it
keeps the gut balanced, keep the microbiome happy and healthy,
make sure you balance your insulin levels. That is a key component,
insulin. Because insulin resistance leads to hormonal imbalances that then
lead to erectile dysfunction and problems with libido and all these
other slew of chronic issues. So really you need to make sure the food balances your
gut bacteria, keeps your insulin and glucose nice and balanced and happy
and thereby your other hormones and you also need the most nutrient-dense
foods. I start with these places. I have people remove all
the junk like the refined sugars and the dairy, if you're sensitive
to it, and then grains to help optimize your
hormone levels so even you can heal on not one symptom but all of them
simultaneously. So that's where I start off with all my patients. It takes
a long time to reverse that gut dysbiosis. That leak that takes a little
bit long. Once you've gotten that far when you have that leaky gut, when
the material from your intestines is leaking into your bloodstream and
basically you're poisoning yourself from the inside out. It really takes a
couple of years of good clean eating grapes, of pure filtered
water. However, you feel the improvements immediately, the joy,
you start to have good bowel movements, your
brain fog gets lifted, you turn into new person.
Once I'm done eating avocados and nuts and seeds and sustainable fatty sea-foods,
and lower all of your barbecue foods,
you start seeing those. But it does take time because obviously after
you've improved your symptoms, you're not going to go back on that. That was
inflammatory food. You can never go back. You can have little cheats.
Even my kids we are no grain, no dairy, no sugar, and no processed foods in
our house. Because I don't feel like they need it. They don't
need any of that stuff, plus they are fully satiated with tons of
vegetables and a clean source of whole foods,
organic vegetables. My favorite thing in the world is organic
lettuce. I love it so much and one recipe I use all the time is my basic
salad dressing recipe. I like to use a nice filtered avocado oil, some loaded
sherry wine, or red wine, vinegar, locally sourced is always nice but get what you
can and once you start eating decent lettuce with delicious homemade salad
dressing that takes no time at all and you just shake it up at a shaker and
pour it on, it really increases your health and your sanity, your feeling
of being satisfied by the food you eat. It's leptin. And I
learned the fact that in your book you talk about how to identify what
the issues are and then you talk about all kinds very specific diseases with
the solutions to each of them step by step plus supplements and other
homeopathic remedies. I think you have in there aroma therapy, essential oils
and all kinds of healthy things and then you give recipe after recipe. So one of the
things that you've done with this gorgeous book that you've created is
you've given a person the how to identify the problem and then exactly
how to solve their problem across a wide array of problems. It is very well done and I
read a lot of books which is why I was so pleased to be able to interview you
for a short time. Now the question that I have is if someone goes to
their doctor and their doctor really can't help them identify and they need
some help getting through your book, they're not really sure what's wrong
with them, they can't self identify the issues are I know that you're based in
Naperville, Illinois outside of Chicago but do you do
Skype appointments or what would you recommend to
someone. You know what, there are so many doctors like me out there
and It's just not just me myself and I. We have an
entire organization like Institute of Functional Medicine and the Academy of
Integrative Health and Medicine. So there's lots of different practitioners
out there you. Look for functional medicine, holistic medicine,
integrative medicine and then take them my book. Also because this is where
I feel like a lot of them may be functional medicine people who won't know
too much about the integrative side of it, or the integrative integrative
physicians won't know much about the functional.
But the thing is they know enough to keep their mind open and learn. So you
would be able to get that kind of help from anybody. And we just got to
Google it. Find a really qualified,
licensed health practitioner around you who will be able to do the exact same steps.
So this book was really just
combined integrative holistic functional medicine all in one source for all ages.
So it gives people a place to start because I know, as a family physician, I
didn't deal with just one area, one disease, one symptom, I dealt with a
slew of chronic conditions, a slew of problems and I didn't know where to
start. This is the frustration that I had as a patient and have as a
practitioner, as a physician and so therefore I created this to one, help
adjunct your conventional care, even educate your physician
because again I am a family physician my brother is an interventional
cardiologist, my sister's a pediatric ICU physician. I have all these doctors in my
family. Literally every one of them and none of us was taught a single class of
nutrition. This is a guide that I've created to help
take you to even your doctor just because all the studies are in there.
It's all evidence-based and so then you can get help from anywhere. That is so
great. Well if you have been feeling like
there's something wrong or there is and you're not sure where to
start, I'd highly recommend that you go on Amazon and get "The Holistic RX" book.
You know that I don't do a lot of what feel like commercials for books and this
is an excellent book that will give you step-by-step instructions about how to
detoxify your life, how to eat well and how to identify the issues that are
problems and find the solutions so between The Holistic RX book and a good
functional medicine doctor in your area you can turn your life around. You can
turn yourself back on you can get your health and vitality back. I started as
someone who was ailing and failing, my hair was falling out, my knees hurt,
I couldn't walk up the stairs anymore and I went to a beautiful doctor who
helped me figure out that I had a gluten allergy and then once I got rid
of that, I lost my gallbladder. Once I got rid of that, I had
Epstein-Barr. Once I got through that, I started on the road to recovery of
reversing all of the things that I'd spent my whole life accumulating
through problems with allergies, eating breads and flours and starches and
sugars and taking birth control pills which were synthetic hormones. And by the
time I was 50, I was starting to go downhill and now I'm pushing 60 and I
have more energy than I did a decade ago because I was following the
advice that is the kind of advice that you're going to get in the Holistic RX.
So I love you. I care about you and I'm finding you fabulous doctors who have
really great information that you can hold up wherever you live in the world
and I want you to take good care of yourself. So there you go. That's
it. Thank you so much Dr. Saeed. My honor, my pleasure.
Alright. We'll see you on the other side.
