😂 Watch Dr. Sam’s Comedy Show “NeuroSpicy: Love, Life, & Comedy on the Spectrum” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auxjQWEGFCQ&list=PLbFucTSBmVzhaqaVIyIhDwRKYeiA2ZlEs&index=2)

In this powerful and hilarious episode of the Breaking Normal podcast, Daniel sits down with Dr. Sam Shay, DC, IFMCP — a functional medicine practitioner, Fitgenes practitioner, stand-up comic, and truth-seeker who has been tons of podcasts for years.

Dr. Sam explains the difference between western medicine and functional medicine as functional medicine guiding people from chronic → normal → optimal health, while western medicine helps people from crisis → stable. We also discuss genetics testing to help people optimize their health and performance.

But this conversation takes a deeply personal turn as he shares how living with Asperger’s fuels his relentless dedication to truth — and together they explore the question: Does Daniel have Asperger’s?

From there, Daniel and Dr. Sam dive into unforgettable themes:

• The genetics of inflammation and why certain people are more prone than others to inflammation.

Why comedy is the Trojan horse of truth and laughter the best medicine.

• How placebo power depends on the likability and trustworthiness of your doctor.

• Microdosing vs. pharmaceuticals — where the real benefits lie.

• Commercial dairy vs. raw dairy, cholesterol, and controversial nutrition.

• Exercise-induced obesity and the traps of modern fitness.

• 23andMe Syndrome vs. the Fitgenes test — cutting through the shiny object distractions.

• The alchemy of hormones: IGF-1 from elk velvet antler and testosterone from bison testicles.

• What makes a truly great podcast — and the best ones Sam’s ever been on.

Raw, funny, and unexpectedly healthy, this episode captures the heart of Breaking Normal: questioning what’s “normal” and laughing our way closer to the truth.
