In this episode of the podcast Inspired Conversations, host Craig Stewart sits down with Dr. Joel Gould to investigate the "modern epidemic" of Vitamin D deficiency. Moving far beyond simple nutrition, the discussion explores how this hormone acts as a fundamental pillar of health, linking evolutionary biology to chronic conditions
In this out of the norm episode of Inspired Conversations, host Craig Stewart joins guest Pete "Batch" Bachelor in an AI CGI interview to explore a transformative approach to neurological health. They detail a specific Vitamin D and co-factor protocol designed to modulate the immune system and provide clinical-grade relief
In this episode of Inspired Conversations, host Craig Stewart engages in a retrospective with "Pete," a former fighter pilot whose analytical, performance-driven approach to his own treatment-refractory cluster headaches birthed a global movement. This 2025 reflection marks nearly fifteen years since the inception of the Vitamin D3 anti-inflammatory regimen, a
In a profound departure from skeletal-only medicine, Professor Bruce Hollis and host Craig Stewart explore the transition of Vitamin D from a nutrient for bone health to a high-dose pharmacological tool. By examining the "8-day miracle" that halted Stewart’s cluster headaches, they reveal how autocrine signaling and specific co-factors are

Cephalalgia
Cluster headache is associated with significant health and social challenges that necessitate a detailed understanding of long-term patient outcomes to optimize clinical care. In a study published in Cephalalgia, titled “Cluster headache and comorbidities, income and education: A nationwide registry-based matched cohort study,” Møen and colleagues investigated the evolving relationship between this condition, various comorbid pathologies, and the socioeconomic status...

Sapienza Università di Roma (PhD Thesis)
Cluster headache is defined by its rigid adherence to biological timing, manifesting with almost mathematical precision across days and seasons. In a study published in Sapienza Università di Roma, titled “Circadian Features and Sleep Parameters in an Italian Population of Patients with Cluster Headache,” Giuliani and colleagues investigated the interplay between internal chronotypes and the clinical expression of this condition....

Clocks & Sleep
Primary headache syndromes and sleep disturbances represent a substantial global health burden, with headaches affecting approximately 40% of the population and serving as a leading neurological diagnosis. In a study published in Clocks & Sleep, titled “Mechanistic Overlaps Between Sleep and Headache Disorders: From Dopaminergic Dysfunction to Neuroinflammation—A Narrative Review,” Miller Martinez and colleagues investigated the shared biological foundations that...

Migraine represents a significant global socio-economic burden, affecting around 14% of the population and ranking among the top causes of years lived with disability. Historically, management has been limited to reactive symptom suppression, but a strategic shift is now investigating the microbiome-gut-brain axis as a modifiable, upstream pathway for treatment. In a study published in Nutrients, titled “Migraine and the...

As AI becomes part of everyday research for patients, how reliable are the answers it provides? The rapid expansion of generative artificial intelligence into the therapeutic landscape introduces new risks when digital interactions intersect with psychiatric vulnerability. In a study published as a preprint for JMIR Case Reports, titled Substance-induced manic psychosis in which delusions were corroborated by a chatbot – case report, Shah and colleagues describe a clinical event in which a large language model validated and elaborated upon a patient's psychotic delusions following heavy substance use. While this case involved the ingestion of psilocybin, ketamine, cocaine, and alcohol,

Cluster headache is often described by patients and clinicians alike as one of the most severe pains the human body can experience. Yet despite its brutality, the disorder remains underrecognized, underfunded, and frequently misdiagnosed. Affecting roughly 0.1% of the population, cluster headache produces explosive attacks of unilateral pain around the eye or temple, accompanied by autonomic symptoms such as tearing, nasal congestion, and profound physical agitation. For many sufferers, the attacks occur with clocklike precision and can continue for weeks or months, leaving patients trapped in cycles of debilitating pain. This article summarizes major scientific advances reported throughout 2025, including

Could the real trigger behind your migraines be hiding in your gut? In this article, we explore the emerging science behind the migraine gut connection, from microbial diversity deficits and leaky gut driven inflammation to disrupted serotonin pathways and CGRP activation. As research reshapes our understanding of migraine as a systemic gut brain disorder rather than a purely neurological glitch, a new question emerges: is restoring your microbiome the missing step toward lasting relief?

For the cluster headache sufferer, the face is often a fortress: a rugged, "leonine" mask that belies a desperate, hidden vulnerability. This article explores the physiological and psychological architecture of the "Leonine Mouse," a paradox where extreme masculine archetypes collide with the raw, infantile cries of the most excruciating pain known to man.
