What if understanding a chronic health condition meant looking beyond the diagnosis and connecting the dots between different systems in the body? In this episode of Light Body Radio, Dr. Lara May welcomes Dr. Jade Guerra, an experienced practitioner with a background in chiropractic care, nursing, and functional medicine, for a conversation about chronic illness, root-cause investigation, and the value of a whole-body approach to health. With more than 35 years of experience in natural healthcare, Dr. Jade shares her journey from chiropractic care to advanced clinical training and explains why she believes chronic health conditions often involve multiple interconnected factors rather than one isolated cause. Together, they explore the challenges of fragmented healthcare, the relationships between conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypothyroidism, and autoimmune disease, and the importance of understanding how the body's systems work together. In this episode, you'll discover: Why chronic health conditions can have multiple contributing factors. How functional medicine approaches the investigation of underlying health concerns. Why the body's interconnected systems matter when evaluating symptoms. The challenges patients face when healthcare is divided across multiple specialties. How nutrition, lifestyle, and appropriate supplementation may fit into an individualized care plan. Why collaboration, clear priorities, and a comprehensive health history can make a difference in navigating care. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by multiple symptoms, appointments, or seemingly disconnected diagnoses, this conversation offers a thoughtful perspective on looking at the bigger picture. Tune in to Light Body Radio and explore what it means to connect the dots beyond the diagnosis. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2026. All rights reserved.

Why do some people get sick after the same exposure to a virus while others experience few or no symptoms? The answer involves much more than germs alone. In this episode of Light Body Radio: Wellness Illuminated, Dr. Lara May explores the science of immune resilience and why staying healthy during cold and flu season requires a broader perspective than simply trying to “boost” your immune system. From sleep quality and circadian rhythm to stress, metabolic health, nutrient sufficiency, prior immunity, and environmental exposure, Dr. Lara explains the interconnected factors that influence how our bodies respond to everyday pathogens. She also explores why a healthy immune response isn't just about recognizing a threat and reacting—it's about resolving that response appropriately. Discover the difference between exposure and illness, what aspects of immune health you can influence, and how everyday habits may help support your body's natural defenses. Because the goal isn't to become invincible. It's to build resilience, support balance, and give your body the conditions it needs to respond effectively. 🎧 Tune in and discover a more thoughtful approach to immune health this cold and flu season. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2026.

Fatty liver disease is often discovered almost by accident—during an ultrasound, routine imaging, or after seeing changes in lab work. But what if the story actually begins years before a diagnosis ever appears? In this episode of Light Body Radio: Wellness Illuminated, Dr. Lara May explores fatty liver from a deeper functional and metabolic perspective. Rather than looking at the liver in isolation, she examines the interconnected biology involving insulin resistance, glucose regulation, visceral fat, triglycerides, muscle mass, mitochondrial function, nutrition, and hormonal changes. Dr. Lara explains why metabolic dysfunction can develop quietly, even when someone feels well and routine liver enzymes appear normal. She also explores the "metabolic breadcrumbs" the body may leave along the way—and why recognizing these patterns earlier can be an important part of understanding metabolic health. From liver physiology and first-pass metabolism to fructose metabolism, menopause, muscle health, laboratory testing, nutrition, exercise, medications, and supplements, this episode takes a closer look at what may be happening beneath the surface. Because fatty liver isn't simply a liver story. It can be part of a much larger conversation about the body's metabolic environment. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2026. All rights reserved.

What are crystals really about? Are they simply beautiful rocks—or can they have a deeper purpose in our lives? In this episode of Light Body Radio: Wellness Illuminated, Dr. Lara May explores the fascinating conversation around crystals, energy, intention, and spirituality. From her lifelong love of collecting rocks to the modern fascination with crystals in homes, jewelry, meditation spaces, and spiritual practices, Dr. Lara takes a curious and grounded look at why these ancient minerals continue to capture our attention. This conversation also opens the door to an important question: Can science and spirituality coexist? Dr. Lara explores the geological reality of crystals while also discussing the ways people engage with them through intention, ritual, meditation, and energetic practices. Rather than asking you to believe—or disbelieve—she invites you to stay curious. For anyone who has ever wondered whether crystals have "power," felt drawn to them but didn't know why, or was taught that practices involving crystals and energy were something to fear, this episode offers a different perspective: spirituality doesn't require abandoning critical thinking. In fact, spirituality warrants critical thinking—not blind faith. Come with your questions, your skepticism, and your curiosity as we explore the space where science, spirituality, energy, and intention meet. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2026. All rights reserved.

What if one of the most intriguing molecules in longevity research began with something that looks surprisingly simple—a tiny carbon structure shaped like a soccer ball? In this episode of Light Body Radio, Dr. Lara May welcomes research engineer, inventor, author, and longevity advocate Chris Burres to explore the fascinating world of C60 and ESS60, two terms increasingly appearing in conversations about healthy aging, biohacking, and longevity science. Chris takes us back to the discovery of C60, a molecule composed of 60 carbon atoms arranged in a spherical structure. Discovered in 1985, C60 became the subject of groundbreaking scientific research and ultimately contributed to a Nobel Prize-winning discovery. The conversation also explores the research surrounding C60 and longevity, including a study in which a particular formulation was associated with significantly extended lifespan in laboratory rats. Chris emphasizes an important distinction: these findings were observed in animal research and should not be interpreted as proof of lifespan extension in humans. Dr. Lara and Chris also break down what C60 actually is, how ESS60 differs from industrial C60, why processing matters, and how researchers have been studying these unique carbon molecules for decades. Whether you're interested in longevity science, biohacking, healthy aging, emerging wellness research, or simply curious about one of chemistry's most fascinating molecules, this episode offers an accessible introduction to the science behind C60 and ESS60. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation about scientific discovery, longevity research, and what we still have to learn about the possibilities of living younger and better. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2026.

What if healing isn't something you need to achieve—but something you need to remember? In this Wellness Illuminated episode of Light Body Radio, Dr. Lara May invites you to step away from the endless search for the next protocol, supplement, practitioner, diagnosis, or strategy that will finally make you feel whole. Through functional medicine, self-coaching, meditation, spirituality, and quantum healing, Dr. Lara explores a different perspective: what if healing isn't about fixing what's broken, but remembering who you are beneath the layers of conditioning, fear, survival patterns, and old stories? This episode invites you to pause and ask a deeper question: Why do you want to heal? Not simply which symptom you want to eliminate, but what would truly change in your life if you felt healthy, whole, peaceful, and connected to yourself? Dr. Lara explores why we can unknowingly turn healing into another achievement—something to strive for, optimize, and eventually "get right." But sometimes the deepest healing comes not from adding more, but from releasing what no longer serves us. If you're tired of constantly searching for the next answer and feel ready to approach your healing journey from a deeper place of awareness, this episode is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and remember the person you were before the world taught you who you were supposed to be.     © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2026.

What if forgiveness isn't about letting someone else off the hook, but about finally setting yourself free? In this episode of Light Body Radio, Dr. Lara May welcomes intuitive coach, speaker, author, and founder of Angel Goddess Healing, Shannon Curtis, for a powerful conversation about trauma, forgiveness, intuition, inner-child healing, and reclaiming your personal power. Shannon shares her own healing journey and explains how releasing trauma and confronting painful experiences helped her reconnect with her intuition and spiritual gifts. Together, Dr. Lara May and Shannon explore why forgiveness is often misunderstood and how true forgiveness can become a deeply personal practice of releasing pain, shame, and the stories that no longer serve us. They also discuss an important distinction that can be transformative for anyone on a healing journey: forgiveness does not mean forgetting, excusing someone's actions, or allowing them back into your life. You can forgive someone while still maintaining boundaries and choosing how much access they have to you. This episode offers a compassionate perspective on what it means to heal from the past, reconnect with your authentic self, trust your intuition, and reclaim the power that trauma may have taken away. If you're ready to release what you've been carrying and create more space for healing, self-trust, and personal transformation, this conversation is for you. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2026.

Why do we do the self-work? Why do we invest in therapy, coaching, retreats, books, and personal growth? Is it to become someone new—or to remember who we've always been? In this Wellness Illuminated episode of Light Body Radio, Dr. Lara May explores the deeper purpose of self-work and why lasting transformation begins with becoming aware of the unconscious patterns that quietly shape our thoughts, behaviors, relationships, health, and overall life experience. Together, we'll explore how the brain naturally operates on autopilot, why change can feel so difficult, and how bringing awareness to our inner world allows us to move from surviving to intentionally creating the life we truly want.
