Diabetes Dialogue: Therapeutics, Technology, & Real-World Perspectives
Video Version Only on HCPLive! In this episode of Diabetes Dialogue: Technology, Therapeutics, and Real-World Perspectives, hosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, an endocrine clinical pharmacist, director of Education and Training in Diabetes Technology, and codirector of Endocrine Disorders in Pregnancy at the Cleveland Clinic, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, program director of Diabetes Technology at University Hospitals Diabetes and Metabolic Care Center, discuss the newly published findings from the CATALYST trial, a prospective, observational study establishing the prevalence of hypercortisolism among individuals with difficult-to-control type 2 diabetes (T2D). CATALYST enrolled 1057 adults with T2D and suboptimal glycemic control (HbA1c, 7.5–11.5%) despite treatment with ≥2 glucose-lowering agents. All participants underwent a 1-mg overnight dexamethasone suppression test (DST), and common confounders were excluded. Hypercortisolism—defined as a post-DST cortisol level >1.8 µg/dL—was identified in 23.8% of participants, with even higher rates among those with cardiac disease (33.3%) or on ≥3 antihypertensives (36.6%). Adrenal imaging revealed abnormalities in about one-third of affected individuals. Isaacs and Bellini emphasized how striking it is that such a high proportion of patients met criteria for hypercortisolism, a condition historically considered rare. The trial challenges that perception, revealing that clinical features like persistent hyperglycemia and hypertension—despite optimized therapy—could reflect underlying endocrine dysfunction. They noted that neither A1c nor body mass index (BMI) alone predicted elevated cortisol, although medication intensity and comorbid conditions did. The conversation explored how the recognition of hypercortisolism could alter clinical management. Future studies will assess whether targeted treatments—such as cortisol-lowering pharmacotherapy, including mifepristone (Korlym), or adrenal surgery—can reduce medication burden, improve glycemic control, and lower cardiovascular risk. Isaacs and Bellini pointed out that many patients with hypercortisolism present without the classic phenotype, underscoring the importance of broader screening criteria. Looking ahead, they called for greater awareness among clinicians to consider screening in patients on intensive diabetes and blood pressure regimens who still fail to reach therapeutic goals. Identifying and treating hypercortisolism could open a new pathway to improving outcomes in this population. Relevant disclosures for Isaacs include Eli Lilly and Company, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, Abbott Diabetes Care, Dexcom, Medtronic, and others. Relevant disclosures for Bellini include Abbott Diabetes Care, MannKind, Provention Bio, and others.

Let's talk about burnout — the kind that makes you feel mentally fried, physically drained, and like even getting through your to-do list is a monumental task. Here's the thing nobody tells you: burnout isn't just “being stressed out.” It's a physiological hormonal crisis happening in your body. By the time most women hit burnout, it's not just about being tired. It's about your adrenals, cortisol, dopamine, testosterone, and progesterone all taking a nosedive — and your body sending up all the flares.
In this episode of the School of Doza podcast, we go behind the scenes of autoimmunity to explore what's really triggering your symptoms. From past infections to gut dysfunction, vitamin D deficiency, adrenal overload, and genetics—this episode unpacks the root causes that conventional medicine often overlooks. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Most autoimmune disorders are connected to previous infections, including viruses and bacteria. A damaged gut barrier can trigger immune dysregulation—leaky gut is real. Vitamin D isn't optional: low levels suppress the immune system's ability to respond. Chronic stress and overactive adrenals can drive autoimmune flare-ups. Genetic variants like MTHFR may increase susceptibility to autoimmune conditions. FEATURED PRODUCT The Good Poops Challenge is an 8-week reset designed to support your gut, liver, and gallbladder—key systems often disrupted in autoimmune conditions. As discussed in this episode, improving digestion is foundational for reducing inflammation and supporting immune resilience.

Fadiga adrenal: entenda por que esse diagnóstico não existe
Have you tried HRT and adrenal support and it hasn't helped? You're meditating in the morning and you have the perfect relaxing routine before bed but you still wake up multiple times a night? In this episode I talk to Zenia who has tried all of these things and nothing has really helped. I explain why what she's tried so far hasn't worked and what imbalances in her body that are affecting her sleep have likely been missed so far. Addressing these imbalances will also help with ADHD and anxiety so she won't have to take strong drugs to bandaid her symptoms. We talked about accepting in the moment when you can't sleep but also not giving up on solving sleep issues because you don't have to live with poor sleep even if you're in perimenopause and have ADHD and adrenal issues (or HPA axis issues).

Ever find yourself irrationally irritated by the way your partner breathes? Like, truly—why does he have to inhale like that? Or maybe one minute, you're feeling all the love, and the next, you're convinced your relationship is doomed. If so, before you start drafting a breakup text or Googling divorce lawyers, I need you to hear this: it might not be your relationship. It might be your hormones. The Hormone-Relationship Connection I hear these stories all the time—women who suddenly can't stand their partner's quirks (you know, the ones that were once “cute”). They feel distant, resentful, exhausted, or just off. They think it's perimenopause, or stress, or maybe just a sign their relationship is failing. But here's what happens when we dig deeper:

In this episode, we detail the bidirectional relationship between the HPA axis and the intestinal barrier, illustrating how HPA axis dysfunction and cortisol dysregulation can impact intestinal permeability. We further discuss how intestinal dysbiosis can contribute to HPA axis overstimulation. Lastly, we detail some of the roles of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and secretory IgA (sIgA) in this bidirectional relationship.Topics: 1. Overview of the HPA Axis and Gut Bidirectional Relationship- Chronic HPA activation, intestinal permeability, mucosalimmunity, and microbiome composition. 2. Components and Function of the HPA Axis- Hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal glands. - Stress signals from the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, CRH release from the hypothalamus. - CRH stimulates ACTH release from the pituitary.- Cortisol production and release. 3. Structure of the Intestinal Epithelial Barrier- The gut barrier consists of the intestinal lumen, microbiome, mucus layer, epithelial cells, and lamina propria. - Specialized epithelial cells: goblet cells, enterocytes, enteroendocrine cells, and more.- The lamina propria contains immune cells, blood vessels, and lymphatics, supported by a smooth muscle layer. 4. Intestinal Permeability and Tight Junction Regulation- Transport across the intestinal epithelium: transcellular and paracellular pathways. - Nutrient absorption and selective permeability. - Tight junction proteins, such as occludin and claudins. 5. Cortisol's Impact on Gut Barrier Integrity- Cortisol can cross the intestinal microvascular endothelium and enter the lamina propria. - Chronic cortisol exposure and intestinal barrier function.- Increased permeability allows luminal antigens and bacterial endotoxins (e.g., LPS) to infiltrate the lamina propria. 6. Secretory IgA (sIgA) and Gut Immune Function - Chronic cortisol exposure can reduce sIgA levels, weakening mucosal immunity. - sIgA neutralizes pathogens, prevents microbial adhesion, and more. - Lower sIgA levels increase susceptibility to dysbiosis and infections. 7. CRH and Its Role in Intestinal Permeability- CRH is produced in the hypothalamus and also peripherally.- CRH can stimulate mast cells, triggering histamine and inflammatory mediator release. - Mast cell activation can increase gut permeability. 8. Microbiome's Influence on HPA Axis Regulation- Dysbiosis can disrupt HPA axis function.- IBS and sustained HPA activation.- Dysbiosis reduces SCFA production. - SCFAs, particularly butyrate, support colonocyte health, tight junction integrity, and anti-inflammatory pathways. - Inflammation and HPA axis dysfunction. 9. Root Cause Approach & Closing- Chronic cortisol exposure, CRH signaling, and gut barrier dysfunction. - The microbiome influences stress response and HPA axis activity. - Roles of SCFAs, sIgA, and tight junction proteins.- Addressing gut dysbiosis and GI-derived inflammation can support HPA axis regulation. - Root cause approach.Thank you to our episode sponsors:1.

I'm just confused with HOW to workout and eat exactly while in perimenopause with adrenal resistant, with mainly vata dosha. It seems my perimenopause is telling me to workout and build muscle but my adrenal resistance is telling me not to. (I sleep 6-7 hours on workdays, and 8-9 hours on weekends). Any help and recommendations will be appreciated!! Thank you much! You're the best! Thank you! Suzy: Hi dr. Cabral, I truly appreciate you potcast, it has majorly transformed mine and my family's health and lifestyle. I have a question about freshly ground ancient wheat flour, is it inflammatory same as modern processed wheat? Or does it even have health benefits for someone who has a well balanced gut and isn't sensitive to gluten? I know it's a very controversial topic but I'd like to hear your opinion on it. Thank you for your answer! Danielle: Hi! I will be trying to conceive in the next 6 months so I'm looking to optimize my health, I recently got my bloodwork done and saw I have high iron levels- I think this might be from using a cast iron regularly. Most prenatal vitamins I'm finding have iron in them. Would you recommend looking for a prenatal without iron? Do you have any brands you recommend? Additionally, is your omega 3s and daily nutritional support safe for pregnancy? Ronald: Dear Dr. Cabral, I've heard that it can take 10-15 years to fully detoxify from years of smoking. Are there any effective ways to accelerate this process? I'm aware that sauna therapy can be beneficial, but are there any more affordable options? Additionally, I'm concerned about the potential for toxin buildup in my liver and bladder, increasing my cancer risk. Could you please provide some advice on how to minimize these risks? I'm a 75 yo male and have smoked since I was a teenager. Thank you for your time and expertise.

My name is Lewis Moon and I'm a Mineral Balancing Practitioner & Hair Mineral Analysis App Developer. I have a diploma in Nutritional Balancing Science and a bachelor's degree with honors in Landscape Architecture. In 2004 I started feeling detached from reality, with 24/7 brainfog, DP/DR, terrible social anxiety, racing mind, skin problems and over 30 other symptoms. In 2011 I came across an article by Dr Lawrence Wilson on brain fog and this is where my Mineral Balancing journey started. Little did I realize how sick and burned out I was. Through HTMA I discovered and healed extreme adrenal burnout, chronic fight or flight, severe copper toxicity, toxic metal issues, severe liver damage from accutane and many more debilitating problems. In 2015 I became a practitioner under Dr L Wilson until 2020 where I realized the complexity of Mineral Balancing and HTMA and how building a piece of software to analyze the tests would be very helpful for practitioners and individuals in the space. This is where Hair Analysis App - www.hairanalysis.report was born. Used by hundreds of practitioners the app is able to generate highly detailed HTMA reports, supplement regimes and healing reports in order to aid a practitioners analysis of clients. I currently spend most of my days improving the software and I work with a small group of clients to improve their health through Hair Analysis and Mineral Balancing. You can find me on YouTube under the channel Life Labs HTMA. My website is www.lifelabshtma.com And my app is at www.hairanalysis.report Work With Me: Mineral Balancing HTMA Consultation: https://www.integrativethoughts.com/category/all-products My Instagram: @integrativematt My Website: Integrativethoughts.com Advertisements: Viva Rays: Use Code ITP for a Discount https://vivarays.com/ Zeolite Labs Zeocharge: Use Code ITP for 10% off https://www.zeolitelabs.com/product-page/zeocharge?ref=ITP Magnesium Breakthrough: Use Code integrativethoughts10 for 10% OFF https://bioptimizers.com/shop/products/magnesium-breakthrough Just Thrive: Use Code ITP15 for 15% off https://justthrivehealth.com/discount/ITP15 Therasage: Use Code Coffman10 for 10% off https://www.therasage.com/discount/COFFMAN10?rfsn=6763480.4aed7f&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=6763480.4aed7f Chapters: 00:00 Navigating Parenthood: The Early Days 03:01 Nutrition and Child Development 05:58 The Importance of a Stress-Free Environment 08:53 Foundations of Health: The First Years 12:11 Cravings and Nutritional Needs 14:56 Understanding Oxidation Rates 17:58 The Science Behind Cravings 21:04 Mineral Balancing for Children 35:20 Understanding Mineral Interactions in Oxidation Rates 38:14 The Role of Adrenal Function in Metabolism 40:34 The Complexity of Oxidation Rates and Diets 43:43 The Importance of Testing and Individualized Nutrition 46:49 Copper and Its Role in Health 49:46 The Debate on Vitamin D3 and Calcium Levels 01:01:44 The Complexity of Hair Analysis and Its Patterns 01:05:29 Comparing Oxidation Rate Calculations in Hair Analysis 01:14:39 Understanding Hair Analysis: The Two Camps 01:21:41 The Importance of Accredited Courses in Hair Analysis 01:25:57 Valence Update: Results and Observations 01:39:40 Innovations in Supplementation: The Future of Healing Takeaways: Parenthood brings both challenges and blessings. A stress-free environment is essential for child development. Zinc deficiency is a common issue affecting children today. The first ten years of a child's life are crucial for health. Cravings can indicate nutritional needs and deficiencies. Oxidation rates are fundamental in understanding health through hair analysis. Healthy communication about food can prevent rebellion in children. Mineral balancing can improve children's eating habits. Attracting a health-conscious community is beneficial for parenting. Proper nutrition in early childhood sets the foundation for lifelong health. The oxidation rate is influenced by the balance of sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Elevated sodium and potassium can lead to low calcium and magnesium in cells. Adrenal function is crucial for maintaining mineral balance and metabolism. Understanding oxidation rates is essential for effective dietary recommendations. Copper plays a significant role in health but must be managed carefully. Vitamin D3 can leach calcium from bones if taken in high doses. Hair analysis provides a comprehensive view of mineral interactions and health. Different practitioners may use varying methods to calculate oxidation rates. Individualized nutrition is key to addressing metabolic issues. The complexity of hair analysis requires a deep understanding of mineral patterns. There's a lot of confusion in hair analysis. You have to choose one side in hair analysis. Accredited courses are crucial for practitioners. Valence supplements are more potent and absorbable. Faster detoxification is observed with Valence products. Binders are essential for managing detox reactions. The program can be intense, but improvements are being made. Education is key to reducing confusion in the field. Innovations in supplementation are necessary for progress. Practitioners need to adapt to new findings in health.

In this episode, I share what a portion of the teaching session of my Thyroid Inner Circle looks likes. We dive deep into the often-overlooked connection between sex hormones, thyroid health, and adrenal function and break down how understanding and optimizing your sex hormones can be the key to reclaiming your health, whether you're a menstruating woman or navigating menopause. If you've ever been told that painful periods, fertility struggles, or challenging menopausal symptoms are "just part of being a woman," this episode is for you. Key Topics Covered: Why sex hormones matter more than you've been told: sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA) are not just for fertility. The medical system's normalization of dysfunction: how common symptoms like heavy periods, cramps, anxiety, and fertility issues are being dismissed as "normal and create a horrible transition into menopause. Understanding the complete menstrual cycle: going through all the phases and why tracking your cycle is one of the most powerful tools for understanding your health. Connection Between Thyroid, Adrenal, and Sex Hormones Perimenopause and menopause: why menopause symptoms are not inevitable.

You may not be familiar with adrenal fatigue, but you probably know what it's like to experience extreme fatigue that no amount of coffee can fix. Adrenal fatigue doesn't develop overnight. It's often the result of years of chronic stress, which can come from: Trauma: Physical injuries, overexertion from exercise, or illness. Toxins: Environmental pollutants, chemicals in cleaning products, or imbalances in your body such as high histamine levels. Thoughts: Mental stressors like anxiety, overthinking, or unresolved conflicts. You can actually test for adrenal fatigue! My favorite diagnostic tool is the DUTCH test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones), which measures free and bioavailable cortisol. Repeat after me, “I'm not crazy. I'm not lazy. It's my hormones.” Here's what you can do to help: Nutrition: Focus on nourishing your body with adequate protein, vitamins, and minerals. Chronic stress depletes your reserves, so replenishment is crucial. Adaptogens: Herbs like ashwagandha, maca, rhodiola, and reishi can help regulate your stress response by balancing cortisol levels. Sleep: Prioritize quality rest. Consistent sleep is vital for repairing your HPA axis. If your lifestyle involves irregular hours (like night shifts), it may require adjustments. Stress Management: While it's easier said than done, finding ways to lower mental stress—through mindfulness, therapy, or support groups—can make a big difference. Customized Support: Personalized supplements or tinctures may be recommended based on your test results. Think of it as refueling a car running on empty; you need to fill the tank completely before expecting optimal performance. If you think you are struggling with stress and cortisol issues, I'd love to help. Apply for my most comprehensive testing and support here: https://drbethwestie.com/jumpstart-program/

Getting diagnosed with breast cancer is one of the most life-changing experiences a person can face—but there's power in how you choose to walk through it. Today, I'm sitting down again with my dear friend Dr. Filomena Trindade, an incredible physician and a pioneer in Integrative and Functional Medicine, who faced her own battle with Stage 4 breast cancer and chose an incredible path blending traditional and holistic treatments. From vitamin C and artemisinin, she shares her journey of healing and how she created a body environment that was less welcoming to cancer. It's a beautiful conversation about trusting your gut, honoring your body's needs, and exploring every option with an open mind. Dr. Filomena's journey reveals the importance of listening to your intuition and building a strong support network to uplift you every step of the way. She's faced conventional treatments too, balancing them with holistic practices that kept her grounded and connected to her health goals. Her story is a powerful reminder that healing is deeply personal and that there's no one “right” way to find wellness. If you or a loved one are navigating health challenges, this episode will leave you feeling empowered and ready to think differently about what's possible. Also, for any woman who's over aged 50 and struggling with hormonal hair loss like I did, I created a formula called Beauty Locks that is designed to promote hair growth and hair quality.

What We Discuss In This Episode: Perimenopause and Menopause Challenges Symptoms can start earlier than many doctors recognize (e.g. while still having periods) Standard tests like FSH are often insufficient; timing and interpretation matter Hysterectomy can accelerate onset of menopausal symptoms, even with ovaries intact Hot flashes persist for ~50% of women post-menopause Long-Term Hormone Therapy Considerations Dr. Lyster advocates continued low-dose hormone use for bone health, etc. Notes estrogen may lower breast cancer risk, contrary to common belief Emphasizes bioidentical hormones as safest option Stresses hormone needs change over time; dosages often decrease post-menopause Key Strategies for Thriving in Midlife Prioritize and protect sleep quality Self-advocate with doctors; come prepared with questions Reject the notion of "just getting older" as excuse for symptoms Maintain positive mindset about aging and potential for vitality Supplementation Recommendations Vitamin D (actually a hormone) B12 (especially for metabolism/weight management) Magnesium (helpful for sleep, migraines) Adrenal support supplements Melatonin (for some; individual response varies) Cautions against low-quality retail supplements Free Resource from Dr. Liz Lyster: Thrive at any stage in life: https://drlizmd.com/free-book Join The Miracle of Menopause Community: https://drlizmd.com/miracle-of-menopause Connect With Dr. Liz Lyster: Website: https://drlizmd.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrLizLyster Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drlizlyster LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drlizmd/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/thedrlizlyster Connect with Lynne: If you're looking for a community of like-minded women on a journey - just like you are - to improved health and wellness, overall balance, and increased confidence, check out Lynne's private community in The Energized Healthy Women's Club.
