In this episode, Elizabeth Tringal, PA-Ci is joined by Dr. Leonard Pastrana and Dr. Frank Kacou, founders of NubioAge and NuHX, to go deep into what truly separates exceptional compounding pharmacies from the rest.

They break down how compounded therapies support personalization in ways conventional pharmaceuticals can’t, from micro-dosing GLP-1s to creating cleaner hormone formulas, mitochondrial peptides, and nasal therapies that dramatically improve absorption. The conversation dives into why testing standards matter, how pharmaceutical-grade vs food-grade ingredients change outcomes, and why waiting on backorders often means your pharmacy is doing things right.

A major focus is long COVID and the accelerated aging providers are seeing: brain fog, immune dysfunction, fatigue, kidney stress, and metabolic decline. Leonard and Frank explain why most protocols start with the gut, how spike protein may be hiding in the microbiome, and why mitochondrial repair is central to recovery. They discuss stacks involving peptides, methylene blue, NAD, tryptophan, butyrate, and gut-supportive compounds that clinicians are using right now.

You’ll also hear:

• Why nasal delivery can outperform oral dosing for certain therapies
• How methylene blue supports mitochondrial energy and cognitive clarity
• The difference between hydration and true cellular hydration
• What “mitochondrial flexibility” means and how it’s measured
• Why exercise tolerance is one of the strongest markers of brain recovery
• How dosing errors derail otherwise perfect protocols
• Why compounding allows medicine to meet the patient, not the other way around

This episode is a masterclass in how functional medicine, pharmacy, and longevity science intersect—and why compounding is not something to fear, but something to understand deeply and use intelligently.

In this episode of Root Causes, Vibrant Health, Elizabeth Tringali sits down with Bizzie Gold, tech founder, behavior futurist, and one of the most disruptive voices in modern psychology.

Bizzie is the inventor of Predictive Mind, a behavior and thought-prediction technology proven to be 98.3% accurate, designed to decode the subconscious patterns that drive human perception, emotional response, and decision-making. Her work offers a radical, data-driven alternative to traditional mental health models—one that replaces narrative therapy and self-reporting with objective pattern recognition and predictive insight.

A #1 best-selling author in Neuropsychology for Your Brain Is a Filthy Liar, Bizzie exposes the hidden mechanisms that keep people trapped in cycles of self-sabotage, emotional chaos, conflict, and burnout. Her methodology fuses data science, neuropsychology, and large-scale pattern mapping to deliver sustainable brain rewiring—without emotional dependency, indefinite therapy, or symptom-chasing.

In this conversation, Elizabeth and Bizzie connect mental health, trauma, autoimmune disease, inflammation, menopause, GLP-1s, and nervous-system regulation—revealing why treating the body without correcting distorted perception often leads to incomplete or temporary healing.

Together, they explore why:

• Mental illness is rooted in distorted perception, not behavior
• Awareness alone does not change patterns
• Early childhood wiring (ages 2–5) shapes lifelong mental and physical health
• Predictable brain patterns—not personality flaws—drive anxiety, OCD, and self-sabotage
• True healing requires structure, accuracy, and sustainability—not endless processing

Bizzie’s ability to decode human behavior in real time and deliver immediate, actionable solutions has made her a sought-after authority across mental health, technology, and behavioral science.

What happens when a woman in her 40s decides she’s not done—not physically, not mentally, not in the story she’s writing for herself? In this powerful episode, Randi Zuckerberg shares how a postpartum low point became the catalyst for one of the most remarkable midlife athletic transformations ever documented.

Once unable to run a single mile, Randi is now an elite ultramarathoner completing 100–250 mile races, breaking barriers, rewriting the playbook for perimenopausal athletes, and proving that women in midlife are just getting started.

Elizabeth and Randi dive into:
• How functional medicine uncovered the root causes holding her back
• The peptides, recovery tools, and mitochondrial support that changed everything
• Why women’s endurance research is decades behind—and how athletes like Randi are pioneering a new era
• Navigating hormones, recovery, injury, mindset, and the mental toughness unique to women
• What it really takes to train for a 250-mile ultra as a 40-something mom

This is an inspiring, deeply human conversation about resilience, reinvention, and what becomes possible when women stop accepting limitations.

Episode Description
In this episode, Elizabeth sits down with longevity expert Nathalie Niddam to demystify the world of peptides and bioregulators—and how to use them wisely, not wildly. They break down what peptides actually are, how bioregulators can help restore youthful DNA expression, and why mitochondrial peptides and GLP-1s (like semaglutide/tirzepatide) can be powerful or problematic depending on your terrain. You’ll hear clinical stories about BPC-157, GHK-Cu, epitalon, and oxytocin, plus a fascinating look at plasma exchange, exosomes, and regenerative therapies for aging in a toxic world. Most importantly, Nathalie and Elizabeth keep bringing it back to foundations—nutrition, detox, movement, sleep, and testing—so you understand how to stack these advanced tools on top of real health, not instead of it.

Nathalie Niddam is a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, longevity and biohacking coach, and one of the leading voices in the peptide and bioregulator space. With a background in physiology, nutrition, and functional health, she helps people extend their healthspan by combining ancestral health principles, modern science, and cutting-edge tools like bioregulator peptides. Nathalie hosts the popular podcast “Longevity with Nathalie Niddam,” runs a thriving membership community, and regularly speaks on international stages about healthspan optimization and regenerative therapies.

Your mouth isn’t separate from your health—it’s a control center. In this candid, practical conversation, Elizabeth sits down with Dr. Ilona Fotek, a recognized leader in biological & cosmetic dentistry and founder of Dental Healing Arts (Jupiter, FL), to map the mouth–body connection and the overlooked dental “root causes” behind fatigue, sinus issues, brain fog, cardiovascular risk, and more.

We unpack:

• Cavitations & infected root canals: what they are, why they’re missed on 2D X-rays, and how CBCT finds them
• The oral microbiome (spirochetes, Candida), in-office saliva testing, and microscope visuals that change behavior
• Everyday choices that erode enamel: lemon water, kombucha, citric-acid electrolytes, dark-roast coffee—and how to protect your teeth (salt-water rinse → then brush)
• Safer oral care: nano-hydroxyapatite > fluoride for remineralization; mouthwash pitfalls; oil pulling; tongue scraping; electric brushing
• Ozone dentistry to rescue teeth and support gum health
• Airway & bite: grinding, myofunctional therapy, tongue-ties, and the “small jaw” epidemic in kids
• Implants & materials: pure titanium vs zirconia, when each makes sense, and sensitivity testing (ELISA)
• Smart hygiene routines (brush/floss/tongue, peroxide soaks for trays/guards)

NFL veteran and analyst Brian Baldinger joins Elizabeth to talk candidly about pain, recovery, and staying sharp after 13 seasons in the league. Brian shares what actually moved the needle for him—from IV and nebulized exosomes to stem cells, PRP, peptides, and hyperbaric oxygen. Elizabeth breaks down why these therapies may help with inflammation and neuro-recovery, plus the often-missed root causes in athletes: gut triggers (gluten/lectins/nightshades), heavy-metal and tick exposures, insulin resistance (A1C targets, berberine), and vascular health. They also discuss ozone therapies (including EBO2), compression and circulation, mindset, and the transition out of pro sports. Brian’s takeaway: make your health your life’s work—on and off the field. Perfect for athletes, weekend warriors, and anyone curious about performance-driven functional medicine.

Why do you still feel unwell when your labs look “normal”? In this episode, Elizabeth sits down with Molly Segal, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDNP), board-certified health & wellness coach, and co-host of Biohacking Blondes—now joining Tringali Vibrant Health.

They unpack how FDNPs bridge the gap between coaching and clinical care, using advanced testing (blood chemistry with optimal ranges, DUTCH, GI-MAP, food sensitivity testing, targeted genetics) to find root causes across gut, hormone, and mental health. Molly shares her perimenopause/long-COVID story, why starting with hormones can accelerate results, and the behavior-change tools that help patients actually follow through. You’ll also hear practical takeaways on progesterone, vitamin D, electrolytes, amino acids, movement “snacks,” and teaching kids healthy habits while limiting screen-time anxiety.

If “everything’s fine” hasn’t felt fine, this conversation shows a smarter path to feeling vibrant again—backed by data, made doable with support.
