- 1 hour 2 minutesWhat Every Sports Parent Should Know About Brain Injury - CTE and Red Light Therapy | Dr. Larry Carr
On the Evolving Wellness Podcast, host Sarah interviews Larry, a former football player and PhD in exercise physiology, about his worsening anxiety, depression, and cognitive symptoms after years of collision sports and a 2010 diagnosis of significant brain damage. After meeting CTE researcher Ann McKee in Boston and learning of near-infrared light research at the VA, Larry entered a study using a near-infrared headset and reports major improvements in mood, PTSD measures, cognition, and MRI functional connectivity, with symptoms returning when he stopped and improving again on a home device. He describes subsequent research in first responders and a season-long BYU football study comparing sham vs active headsets, reporting broad gains in performance measures and MRI indicators showing inflammation increases in controls but a net loss of inflammation and better axon health in treated players. Larry discusses practical use (20 minutes, typically mornings, three to five days weekly) and argues the approach is disease-modifying and relevant for athletes, veterans, and others.

19 August 2026, 11:57 am - 24 minutes 58 secondsLOW Ferritin Explained (And What Doctors Miss) - The One Number Often Overlooked
Blueprint info session - (doors close August 24) - https://www.sarahkleinerwellness.com/offers/ExuLzY2G/checkout
Low ferritin can leave you exhausted, shedding hair, and wired at night even when your bloodwork looks "normal." In this episode I break down what "ferritin face" really means, the ferritin numbers that actually matter, and the exact labs to bring to your provider.
I share my own story (my ferritin dropped to a 9), the three ferritin patterns to know, why "normal" is not the same as optimal, and the root causes most people miss like estrogen clearance, gut absorption, and blood loss. None of this is medical advice, it's here to help you ask better questions and advocate for yourself.

Do Carbs Cause Diabetes? The Truth About Weight Loss, Hormones, and Reintroducing Carbs (Perimenopause-Friendly)
Sarah Kleiner answers common questions about carbohydrates, arguing that blaming carbs alone for diabetes and weight gain is shortsighted and ignores lifestyle and environmental factors like circadian rhythm, light exposure, sleep, and grounding. She shares her experience with long-term carb restriction leading to low T3, hormone issues, worsened metabolic health, and weight gain, and explains how adding back healthy carbs has helped many clients—especially perimenopausal and menopausal women—sleep better and lose weight. She distinguishes whole-food carbs from processed versions (e.g., potato vs. chips), discusses carb timing and insulin sensitivity, explains individualized carb needs, and addresses glycation, AGEs, oxidative stress, and deuterium through a “terrain/mitochondria” lens.

19 July 2026, 5:58 am - 1 hour 11 minutesTicks, Lyme, and What the Standard Advice Gets Wrong | Evelyn Green
In this podcast episode, the host interviews Evelyn (“Evie”), who runs Green Medicine of Wisconsin, a cash-based integrative clinic specializing in tick-borne disease in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Evelyn shares her childhood tick bite and classic bullseye rash leading to a clinical Lyme diagnosis, later symptoms like fatigue, headaches, and sore throats, and her path from trauma neurosurgery and primary care into Lyme-focused practice. They discuss 2026’s increased tick concerns, Evelyn’s high household tick encounters, and a wood tick that tested positive for Powassan virus. She describes common clinic presentations (fatigue, cardiac abnormalities, cognitive issues), challenges with testing, and the importance of foundations like sleep, nutrition, stress, and light exposure. Prevention strategies include tick checks, avoiding tall grass, permethrin-treated clothing, proper tweezers removal, and optional tick testing. Treatment may involve antibiotics, herbals, homeopathics, peptides, HDC helminthic therapy, ozone/IV therapies, and intravenous light therapy, with many patients improving over time.

24 June 2026, 11:00 am - 1 hour 20 minutesHe’s 20 and Knows More About Light Than Most Scientists | Jonathan Jarecki
Host Sarah Kleiner introduces a conversation with 20-year-old college student Jonathan Jurecki about why aligning light exposure with the sun can dramatically improve energy, mood, sleep, and daily performance. Jonathan shares his holistic upbringing and how he became immersed in sunlight and circadian research, then explains key concepts such as sunrise light contrast, intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells, the suprachiasmatic nucleus, cortisol and melatonin rhythms, and the role of red/near-infrared light in mitochondrial function and oxidative stress (including subcellular melatonin). They discuss why artificial light at night and late-night screens disrupt circadian alignment, practical strategies like controlling evening lighting, blue blockers and hats, and why sleep timing and consistency matter. Jonathan also describes influencing peers to view sunrise, his plans for science communication and research, and efforts to bridge allopathic and naturopathic medicine

19 June 2026, 11:00 am - 57 minutes 34 secondsCoaches Corner: Why Women Can’t Lose Weight in Midlife (and How Keto and Carnivore Make It Worse)
On the Evolving Wellness podcast, host Sarah interviews her co-coach Becky about menopause and weight loss, focusing on simple behaviors that sabotage progress and the importance of addressing root causes. Becky shares her history of dieting (including Weight Watchers, keto, and 2.5 years of carnivore), a complete hysterectomy at 29 that put her into surgical menopause, intolerance to HRT, and struggles with insulin-resistant weight gain and Hashimoto’s that did not improve on long-term carnivore. She describes improvements after reintroducing foods, implementing circadian practices, balancing macros (including adding carbs), focusing on nervous system regulation, and using lab work to guide medication changes, leading to Hashimoto’s remission and nearly 63 pounds lost while maintaining muscle. They emphasize consistency over perfection, honest self-assessment, community support, and the roles of light, sleep, and adequate nourishment, and promote an info session and upcoming Blueprint cohort starting June 22.

Sarah shares a solo follow-up on “Toothpaste Gate 2026,” prompted by heavy email/DM feedback after she said her family stopped using hydroxyapatite toothpaste; many reported gray teeth and extensive cavities and dental bills. She announces a birthday contest that requires subscribing to her Substack, explains Instagram follower removals as a reason for shifting content there, and outlines subscriber freebies and paid perks plus contest prizes. On toothpaste, she argues cavities after switching may reveal deeper “terrain” issues like mouth breathing, gut dysbiosis, and mineral/nutrient deficiencies, then explains her kids’ routine based on Dr. Ellie’s toddler protocol and lists fluoride toothpaste alternatives. She also addresses “sunscreen indoors,” saying UV filters don’t block high-energy visible blue light and recommending tinted products with iron oxide, while urging nuance about sun exposure and skin cancer as cumulative oxidative stress.

Sarah shares a webinar on safe sun exposure, skin cancer risk factors, and vitamin D science, emphasizing a nuanced approach rather than total sun avoidance or excess exposure. She cites research linking widespread vitamin D deficiency, rising melanoma rates, indoor living, and findings that chronic outdoor exposure can correlate with lower melanoma risk than intermittent “vacation” sunburn patterns; she also highlights studies associating higher UV exposure with lower all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and discusses Dr. Richard Weller’s work on UVA-triggered nitric oxide. The webinar covers sunscreen and sunglasses trade-offs, visible blue light effects, circadian disruption (including shift work), diet factors (omega-6/omega-3 balance, seed oils), alcohol-related melanoma risk, and strategies to build skin resilience with foods, minerals, and supplements. She explains sunrise/UVA/UVB timing, skin preparation, vitamin D testing nuances, a gradual exposure protocol (including sensitive skin), recovery practices, and photosensitizing medications, and points listeners to VIP resources, her Circadian app, and an upcoming coaching info session
