Grab my FREE 4 Part Video Series: GLP1s Uncovered: https://bit.ly/GLP1uncovered EP 224: Today I'm diving into one of my greatest passions, coffee. Not just for the flavor or daily ritual, but because the science behind it is incredibly compelling. Often misunderstood and unfairly demonized in wellness circles, coffee is, in my view, one of the most powerful herbal medicines we have. Its benefits span brain health, metabolism, mood, cardiovascular support, and more. I'll break down the latest research on caffeine metabolism, including the key differences between slow and fast metabolizers, and how your individual response can impact sleep, blood pressure, and overall well-being. If you've ever questioned your relationship with coffee, or felt guilt-tripped into giving it up, this episode brings the data, context, and clarity you need to make your own informed choice.

In this episode, I explain cortisol and science-based protocols for properly setting your cortisol rhythm, which can significantly increase your daytime energy, focus, mood, and stress resilience, while also improving your sleep quality. Most people mistakenly think cortisol is bad, and many assume their levels are too high, when in fact many health and performance challenges simply stem from a disrupted cortisol rhythm. Getting your cortisol rhythm right can be transformative for your health and performance. I outline behavioral, nutritional, and supplement-based strategies to raise or lower your cortisol levels at the appropriate times of day and night. I also provide specific protocols for overcoming burnout. If you're dealing with stress, low energy, hormone or sleep challenges—or simply want to optimize these for the sake of your physical and mental health and performance—this episode offers science-backed protocols to help.

If you are exercising but not losing weight or gaining muscle after 50, there are some easy and yet not-so-obvious reasons why.  This is for all of you exercising but not getting results.  Whether you or women you work with are interested in gaining muscle after 50, you may like this:  How to Design Strength Programs that Work PRE, peri and post-menopause is a new workshop I'm offering complimentary to our members and existing Menopause Fitness Specialists. If you're interested as a non-member, add your name here to the notifications list.    5 Reasons You May Struggle Losing Fat or Gaining Muscle After 50 Not Working To Muscular Fatigue  Starting out: 5-6 reps to fatigue Experienced - 2 reps from reserve Workouts to gain muscle strength: Light - in between 6-30 reps Moderate - +/- 15 reps Heavy - 10 or fewer reps Too Little Recovery 3 things that have to recover: Muscle, Connective tissues, Adrenals Muscle 48 hours of recovery is not enough for a lot of people. As we age, we need more recovery time. If you take too little recovery time, you will feed more tired than better and not gain lean muscle mass. Connective tissues (ligaments & joints) Recovery may be slower and healing from an injury or a strain. Take time with warm ups and cool downs. Work on mobility around key joints like ankles, hips and shoulders regularly.  Adrenals Prolonged elevated cortisol after a workout is problematic if already chronic elevation of cortisol exists. Estrogen regulates the HPA-axis (cortisol/adrenal signaling) function. Less estrogen reduces the ability to regulate stressors. Decreasing exercise, reducing inflammation and taxing of the adrenals, improving sleep, nutrition sufficiency, and identifying ways to reduce negative effects of cortisol with tools that work for you.   More Reasons Why You're Not Gaining Muscle After 50 Too Few Calories Or Protein  May limit muscle protein synthesis.

Calling everyone who's waking up tired, fighting sugar cravings, and struggling to stay motivated… This episode of The Health Made Simple Show is for you. Too many of us battle chronic fatigue, convincing ourselves it's “normal” to feel this drained or that it'll go away once we catch up on sleep.  But the truth is, there's often a deeper reason your energy is running on empty. In this episode, Dr. Bart reveals how overworked adrenal glands could be the hidden culprit behind your exhaustion—and how to restore balance so you can feel like yourself again. Here's what Dr. Bart breaks down: ✅ 7 key symptoms your adrenals are in trouble ✅ Why most people overlook this root cause of exhaustion ✅ Simple, practical steps to start rebuilding your energy today   Stop accepting fatigue as your “new normal.” Listen now and discover how to reset your body for sustainable energy—without relying on caffeine or quick fixes.

This week, in Part 5 of the Minerals Decoded series, we're focusing on another mineral ratio that's essential for those who feel drained, struggle with persistent fatigue, digestive issues, or mysterious allergies, and have not found answers from standard medical tests. If this sounds like you, this might be your sign to get an HTMA test and look into your sodium-to-magnesium ratio, aka the adrenal ratio. This ratio acts like a speedometer for your adrenal glands and provides key insights into your stress response and metabolic health. I start with a story about a client who was severely fatigued and experiencing multiple health issues. Through an HTMA test, we discovered that her sodium-to-magnesium ratio was extremely low, indicating sluggish adrenal activity. With targeted interventions such as adding sea salt to her diet and managing stress, she began to feel revitalized, improving her energy levels, digestion, and overall health.I also give a detailed breakdown of how both high and low sodium-to-magnesium ratios affect your body, and the difference between fast and slow oxidizers of these minerals. Understanding these imbalances can be empowering and guide you on how to better manage your health. This episode will give you some practical tips for balancing your sodium-to-magnesium ratio, including using sea salt to support sodium levels, incorporating adrenal glandulars, and finding ways to manage stress effectively. If your sodium-to-magnesium ratio is imbalanced, these tips could be game-changing for your energy levels and overall well-being.

I've been getting a lot of questions lately as our following and show has grown such as: “What actually is a functional health approach to weight loss?” “Are labs like the GI Map or DUTCH test worth it?” “What do I even do with the results?” If you've ever thought, “I eat clean. I work out. I track my food. And yet… nothing's changing,” this episode is for you. In today's conversation, I open up about what I've learned after years of doing everything “right” and still feeling inflamed, exhausted, and stuck in a body that felt like it was working against me. We'll unpack the real reasons your body may be resisting fat loss, healing, and energy. To all the ill-informed men in my comments: It's not just discipline or willpower or eating less and moving more. You'll learn why functional testing can reveal what basic labs miss, and how systems like your gut, thyroid, liver, and adrenals all communicate in a connected “group chat”, where one disruption creates a cascade. I'll share the exact myths I had to break about weight loss, hormones, and healing and the turning point that finally helped me get real answers. This episode is about reconnecting with your body, learning to read its signals, and understanding that your symptoms aren't random, they're messages. You'll walk away with clarity, compassion for yourself, and hope that yes, this is fixable. If your body feels broken… this is the permission slip and path forward you've been waiting for. Time Stamps: (1:37) Getting A Lot of Questions As We've Grown (2:57) Doing All The Right Things And Still Stuck? (3:47) I Was There Not Too Long Ago (7:02) The Eat Less and Move More Belief (12:16) Adrenals and Cortisol (15:03) Liver and Detoxification (22:52) Looking Holistically At The Body (27:06) DUTCH Test and GI Map (28:38) What The Healing Process Looks Like (31:24) Our 1-1 Coaching---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Are you ready to tackle the unique challenges of wellness after 40? In this empowering episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck hosts a comprehensive Q&A explicitly designed for women navigating midlife. From boosting energy to balancing hormones and thriving through menopause, Jenn covers it all, starting with a deep dive into key hormones like estrogen and progesterone and how they affect weight loss, energy, and fat distribution.Jenn explores the realities of menopause and perimenopause, including changes to the menstrual cycle, shifts in fertility, and the importance of protein for muscle and bone health. You'll learn how phytoestrogens may offer symptom relief, how gut health and the parasympathetic nervous system impact mood and nutrient absorption, and how better sleep can help reduce brain fog and fatigue. Whether you're adjusting your routine or looking for expert-backed tips to feel your best, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you navigate midlife with confidence and clarity.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss in real life, clearing up myths, misinformation, and bad science surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: (01:19) Jenn shares her professional relationship with Christine(06:13) Jenn discusses estrogen, progesterone, fat removal and weight management(13:07) How age affects menopause, menstrual cycle, fertility and estrogen levels(19:45) What is the role of protein over 40, and how to maintain muscle and bone health(25:36) Discussion of hormones to support weight loss, energy, and phytoestrogens(30:46) Your gut, nutrient absorption, and the parasympathetic nervous system(36:24) Improving sleep quality and managing fatigue and brain fog. What about nap time(42:17) Discussion of signs and treatments for menopausal symptoms and supplements(48:13) Common health risks for women in their late 30s and 40s, and related medical tests(51:39) What ingredients are most effective for aging skin, adjusting the skin care routine(57:50) Reducing fine lines, wrinkles and age spotsKEY TAKEAWAYS:The challenge with weight loss after age 40 is primarily due to the decline of estrogen and progesterone production, which reduces insulin sensitivity, impairs sleep, and alters fat distribution, making fat removal (not just weight loss) slower and more difficult. Sustainable fat loss prioritizes health over rapid results.Low estrogen and progesterone levels can impact mood, sleep, and appetite, leading to an increased desire for comfort foods. Phytoestrogens (e.g., wild yam, black cohosh) and fiber-rich foods (e.g., cruciferous vegetables) support hormone metabolism and mood stability.Women over 40 need ~1 gram of protein per pound of body weight daily (4-6 ounces per meal, 2-3 ounces per snack) to maintain muscle and bone health. Resistance training, weight-bearing exercise, and minerals (e.g., magnesium) are critical.Low estrogen levels can cause skin dryness and wrinkles. Hydration, vitamin C, retinol, and hyaluronic acid improve skin appearance. Consistent skincare routines (cleanse, tone, treat, moisturize) reduce the appearance of age and Gua Sha massage may reduce menopausal symptoms like hot flashes.QUOTES:        (06:25) "There is fast weight loss at any age, provided you don't care how long it lasts or what happens to your health." - Jenn Trepeck(08:20) "Estrogen, the presence of estrogen and increased estrogen when we're younger in life, keeps us more insulin sensitive. It keeps us more metabolically fit." - Jenn Trepeck(21:27) "We want to aim for a gram of protein for every pound of body weight." - Jenn Trepeck(27:01) "We have less wiggle room. That estrogen was our cushion and when you eliminate the cushion, you've got less wiggle room." - Jenn Trepeck(31:00) “Bottom line, your gut is responsible for nutrient absorption and communicating all over the body.” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramHormones and Body Composition (feat.

Ep 73: In today's episode, we're diving deep into menopause — what it actually is, what's really happening in your body, and why the old advice of "eat less, move more" just doesn't cut it anymore.We unpack the most common symptoms women experience during perimenopause and postmenopause, and how changes in blood glucose regulation play a major role in how you feel day to day.We also talk about why adrenal health matters more than ever, the role of hormone replacement therapy, and how strategic walking, strength training, and smarter eating can completely shift your body composition — and your quality of life — after 40.If you've been feeling frustrated, exhausted, or confused about your body lately, this episode will empower you with the real science (and real solutions) you deserve.Time Stamps: (0:00) Introduction(2:11) Hardened Heart(14:17) What Happens During Pre & Post Menopause(18:43) Common Symptoms (21:16) Why Eat Less, Move More No Longer Works(25:29) Blood Glucose Spikes(28:47) Hormone Replacement Therapy(32:41) Adrenals and Menopause(34:03) Lowering Glucose Spikes(37:44) Walking & Weight Lifting(42:15) Body Composition Post Menopause JOIN our ⁠FREE PRIVATE FACEBOOK COMMUNITY⁠Submit your questions ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grey Space Podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grey Space Podcast Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grey Space Podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Coryn on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Crysanne on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*Disclaimer*Grey Space Podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information for educational purposes.

At one point I cried to my doctor because I was just so frustrated…. I thought I needed to eat less, be stricter, exercise harder but none of it was working. In fact, I found myself gaining weight, looking puffier, and feeling more exhausted the harder I tried. Does this sound familiar? "You're just being lazy. It's all in your head" is what I kept telling myself and that only made things worse mentally. It wasn't until I dug deeper into my hormone health and found the root cause I was able to start truly healing and getting back to myself. In this episode, I'm going to explain the four key changes that I implemented that made all the difference for me. We will cover why I backed off of my training, learned to nourish my adrenals with proper nutrition, cut back on caffeine which was incredibly hard at the time, and learned to rebalance my circadian rhythm.  Time Stamps: (0:25) Team Coming Into Town (1:32) The Adrenals (3:05) My Hormone Healing Journey (5:15) What To Look For With Adrenal Fatigue (9:15) Pulling Back Intensity (11:25) Nourishing Your Adrenals (14:28) Magnesium Rich Foods (16:18) Hydration and Electrolytes (19:12) Proper Supplementation (19:54) Cutting Back on Caffeine (21:15) Prioritizing Sleep (25:05) We Can't Work With Everyone---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

You're doing it all but could there be hidden mistakes hijacking your menopause fitness. Increasing protein, lifting weights, doing high intensity… How can you be this active but not working?  Disclaimer: This could trigger you. The mistakes hijacking your menopause fitness you could be doing on purpose because you were told once this is what you SHOULD DO.  This episode is for all women, and for you. So let's unpack these mistakes hijacking your menopause fitness.  Before anything.. Measure.  If you aren't measuring your body composition - skeletal muscle mass vs. body fat—you won't truly know what's working. I'll link to the 4 Smart scales in my store. You can get a Dexa or go to a gym. #1 Not Consuming Enough Fuel Women are not the same as men on carbohydrate needs. We get little, we disrupt hormones. You are influenced by cortisol, insulin, thyroid, testosterone, growth hormone and the endocrine.   How much fuel do you need? Endocrine dysfunction - ~30-35 calories per kg of FFM in women; but around 15 calories per kg FFM in men. Fat Free Mass (FFM) - say you're 130kg and you have 25% body fat. You need 2923 kcals to keep your body functioning well.   Fueling Your Workouts: Cardio: 30g carbs and 15g protein before Strength: 15g protein before + 30-45g protein after (higher in and after menopause)    Thyroid & Carbohydrates Low carb diets (under 100g) - pivotal point for lower thyroid function.  Serotonin - produced in the gut, declines with low carb diets.  Low-carb diets - don't lead to better weight loss long-term, they cause water loss.   What Happens When You're Under-Fueled?Low Energy Availability from brain (hypothalamus) to body… Hypothalamus signals HPA axis dysfunction Adrenals releases cortisol Thyroid slows metabolism Body conserves energy and breaks down muscle instead of fat for fuel   When You Fast, try one of these: High intensity intervals  Lift heavy weights  High intensity boot camp class  Reduce carbs, maintain a keto-like diet while increasing your walks   Know the Sneaky Mistakes Hijacking Your Menopause Fitness #2 Never REALLY Recovering From Hard Intervals or Hard Workouts  Some bootcamps and spin classes are rapid, high-intensity intervals without adequate recovery. Your cortisol levels during this session accumulate.  It feels like you crushed it, but here's the truth: if you're not giving yourself real recovery, you're not hitting your peak.  When you skip the full recovery, you're not building the strength and power that protect against sarcopenia (muscle loss). Try these: Warm-up A:  Run up a steep hill for 40 seconds Mark that point on the hill Slowly go back down Fully recover, with your nasal breathing. Repeat until you don't make it to the same spot on the hill Warm-up B: Run up a steep hill for 40 seconds Mark that point on the hill Quickly make your way down Cool down within 60 seconds Immediately run up again Repeat until you don't make it to the same spot on the hill They both will feel hard, but only one gets you to your maximum capacity.  The glycolytic fibers - fast twitch that sustain power fatigue quickly. Women have fewer of them than slow twitch and lose twice as fast as slow-twitch fibers. Fast-twitch fibers need power moves — like heavy lifting or box jumps — and plenty of recovery to reload and go again.  You're fooling yourself into thinking you're getting in better shape.  So test yourself… a simple protocol you can do at home. Try a full test battery you can easily do at home - I'll provide access to it in the show notes as soon as it's ready.  Measure. Monitor your waist girth, your body fat percent and your skeletal muscle. Rate your energy, sleep, focus, digestion and elimination. Are you improving, worse or the same? When you're exercising optimally these things also improve. It's not just muscle mass and fat.    Are these Mistakes Hijacking Your Menopause Fitness?   #3 Relying on Caffeine, Bar Codes and Over Emphasis on Packaged Food By nature, your cortisol level is highest at about 8am. You've fasted overnight and if you're not eating soon after waking, especially if you're exercising as a female, your body has stressor on top of stressor: Punched your ticket in midlife (less estrogen, more cortisol) Caffeine (more cortisol)  No fuel (more cortisol)  Exercise (more cortisol)  Fuel before intense exercise.  Fuel again after, especially within the 24 hour period after resistance training or other HARD workouts the need for recovery persists, so it's not just that single meal following activity. #4 Always High and Hard You have never needed high intensity more in your life than whatever age over 40 you are now.  You also need full recovery … between intervals, strength training sets and sessions.  Here's the secret: Muscle gets stronger between sessions. The exercise is the stimulus. The recovery is where fitness happens – the release of hormones, the repair and supercompensation.  Recovery time. Get AT LEAST 48 to 72 hours between hard use of the same muscle groups. Active Recovery. The low intensity movement between your hard sessions is absolutely important in increasing circulation, blood sugar stabilization, improving sleep and mood and overall fitness levels.    Keep It Simple: Movement Time. Walking at the level below where cortisol negatively spikes so you can reduce or optimize it. Short & Intense. Spend small amounts of time in high intensity interval session - where you recover completely between sessions. All Major Muscle Groups. Spend 2-3 sessions a week hitting all major muscle groups or twice to total muscle fatigue. If you're in post menopause, the volume of sets has to be greater compared to a perimenopause woman. Recover. Give yourself at least 48 hours.. 72 is often BEST.  Resources: Flipping50 Membership Flipping50 Insiders Group   Other Podcasts You Might Like: Previous Episode - Is Red Light Therapy the Answer to Aches, Pains and More Movement?

Questions? Comments? Send a message to Art of Healing PodcastYour adrenal glands may be small, but they're running more of your life than you realize. Feeling exhausted despite sleeping enough? Crashing after your morning coffee? Waking up hours before your alarm? These tiny walnut-sized organs sitting atop your kidneys might be sending you important messages about your stress levels.Learn more about your Adrenal Glands with this free resource:Chakras and HormonesDr. Charlyce takes us on a fascinating journey through the endocrine system, explaining how these mighty glands produce hormones that regulate everything from your morning energy to your stress response. We learn how the brain's command centers—the hypothalamus and pituitary gland—constantly monitor your environment and psychological state, sending signals to your adrenals that trigger the release of cortisol and adrenaline. While these hormones are essential for survival and motivation, our modern always-on lifestyle keeps them pumping without the recovery periods our bodies desperately need.Through personal examples and practical science, Dr. Charlyce shares how functional medicine approaches adrenal health differently than conventional medicine. She reveals how home testing helped identify her own imbalanced cortisol patterns and melatonin deficiency, leading to personalized solutions that didn't involve medication. You'll discover specific strategies for supporting your adrenals—from nutrient-dense eating schedules and appropriate sodium intake to balancing exercise with recovery and incorporating grounding practices that activate your parasympathetic nervous system.Whether you're dealing with unexplained fatigue, sleep disruptions, or simply want to optimize your energy and stress resilience, this episode offers actionable insights into working with—rather than against—your body's natural hormonal rhythms.

In this episode of Thyroid Mystery Solved, Inna welcomes Dr. Izabella Wentz—bestselling author and renowned thyroid advocate—to address a hidden pitfall affecting people with Hashimoto's: the consequences of detox done too aggressively and its effects on the body and the adrenal glands.. She uncovers a recent case where overzealous cleansing tactics overwhelmed the liver, stalled adrenal function, and sparked worse symptoms instead of relief. They also examine how blocked elimination pathways can keep toxins recirculating, forcing the liver to work overtime and placing extra strain on cortisol production.Dr. Izabella and Inna investigate detox pathways and adrenals and show you how and why gentle methods that keep toxins moving out smoothly are so crucial, and how stress can derail healing even when the best of intentions are at play. You will see the strategies that work better for Hashimoto's and thyroid issues and things you can do to help your body detox and support your adrenals. Tune in to learn practical tactics that turned a frustrating backslide into a powerful comeback. If you or someone you know has felt stuck despite multiple cleansing attempts, this discussion could be the key to solving that thyroid mystery.For full show notes:https://innatopiler.com/podcasts/detoxing-hashimotos-liver-adrenals-dr-izabella-wentz/For more information about everything Hashimoto's please visit www.InnaTopiler.comIf you are struggling to lose weight with Hashimoto's, Inna has a 10 day plan just for you at www.InnaTopiler.com/jumpstartIf you don't yet know your thyroid type, please be sure you sign up for Inna's next free training at www.InnaTopiler.com/training

Emotional and physical stressors can be contributing factors in the triggering of thyroid autoimmunity in two main ways. First, stress causes an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines, which promote inflammation by causing dysregulation of the immune system. Stress also decreases secretory IgA, increasing your risk of developing a leaky gut.That said, it's important to understand that not all stress is equal. Our bodies are designed to handle acute stress situations but less so the chronic stress that most people deal with in our modern lives. This is where stress-handling strategies can be crucial since it is likely to be difficult, if not impossible, to completely eliminate the stress from your life.Today, in part three of my series on lowering and normalizing thyroid antibodies, I'm discussing the role of stress, which is a big factor in many people. I talk about my experiences with stress when I was dealing with Graves' disease, when to consider adrenal testing, stress management techniques, the role of supplements, the benefits of personalized support, and more.

Would you believe me if I said the majority of our clients at Vital Spark consume 2000+ calories?  Many even higher! In order to understand this, you need to understand BMR. You have actual BMR, potential BMR, actual TDEE, and potential TDEE. Getting to potential TDEE will create a metabolism that is more forgiving to live a healthy, balanced lifestyle. For those who don't know, BMR stands for Basal Metabolic Rate and TDEE stands for Total Daily Energy Expenditure (we'll explain what these mean in the episode).  So how do we get to potential BMR and potential TDEE? BMR: Improve metabolic processes by working systems of the body: Adrenals, Thyroid, Liver, Gut, Sex hormones, and Insulin. TDEE: Increase NEAT: Work on habits and behaviors to increase activity levels, Increase energy by feeding up, Increase desire to get out and move by improving internal health (you're less inclined to play with your kids or do active adventures with friends when your PMS is terrible or your gut is irritated),  Optimize NEAT: Strength train > cardio, More calorie burn POST workout, Work smarter not harder, Make it shorter and more effective, which makes you more consistent with workouts. Optimize TEF: Work on food quality without unnecessarily removing foods and creating restriction. ADD don't subtract mindset This is why you'll see me share so many quotes or testimonial videos from clients saying how they're eating foods they used to restrict, and have LOST weight! Listen in as we go in detail about all of this and more!  Time Stamps:  (1:46) Quick Story You May Relate To (4:10) What Is BMR? (6:21) What Burns Calories (8:04) Diving Deeper Into BMR (10:02) Potential vs Actual TDEE (15:37) Our Process (18:32) The Calories Out Portion (20:08) Actions We Have Our Clients Work On (22:32) Food Quality---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Living The Full Life with Dr. Juan - November 30, 2024

Dr. Izabella Wentz, PharmD, FASCP is an internationally acclaimed thyroid specialist and licensed pharmacist who has dedicated her career to addressing the root causes of autoimmune thyroid disease, fatigue and mystery illnesses after being diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in 2009. She is the author of the New York Times best-selling patient guide Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause, the #1 New York Times best-selling protocol-based book Hashimoto's Protocol: A 90-Day Plan for Reversing Thyroid Symptoms and Getting Your Life Back, Hashimoto's Food Pharmacology: Nutrition Protocols and Healing Recipes to Take Charge of Your Thyroid Health, and Adrenal Transformation Protocol: A 4-Week Plan to Release Stress Symptoms and Go from Surviving to Thriving.

Dr. Prather says that "100% of women" need help in balancing their hormones based on the lab tests he sees in patients.  In this episode, you'll learn:—How women have 64 different Hormones to consider when trying to balance them, while men basically have to worry about 2.  And why Dr. Prather says that balancing a woman's hormones is like trying to target "a jackrabbit jumping all over the place".—Why Dr. Prather says that every woman should think about being on some sort of supplementation to help balance her hormones.—The symptoms of hormonal imbalance, including:  hot flashes, mood changes, cramps, irregular periods, immune system issues, heart palpitations, and even digestion problems. —The risks of pharmaceutical hormones, which only 2% of women should actually be taking according to research.  And why bioidentical hormones are NOT natural, even though some women taking them think they are.—The role of "food grade" Herbals, Glandulars, and Homeopathics in helping the body to regulate your hormones naturally and without the risk of side effects.  And how Holistic Integration can actually test to see which ones will work best for you.—Why Dr. Prather says that you are not going to balance the hormones if your Copper/Zinc ratio is not balanced.  And how Breast Cancer and Ovarian Cancer "increase quite dramatically" when a woman has too high Copper levels.—How balancing your hormones can often balance your Cholesterol.  And how getting your Cholesterol too low (under 140) will interfere with the balance of your hormones. —Why Iodine "is absolutely critical for females."  And how women who take Thyroid medication have "a very large jump in your chances of having Breast Cancer" and low Iodine is "the leading cause of Breast Cancer".—Why Dr. Prather says that, if your Liver is not working right, "you will never get your Hormones completely balanced".  And how the Adrenals can make every single hormone in the body, but are low-functioning in almost everyone.—The Diagnostics you should have to diagnose the state of your Hormone Health.  And why Chiropractic & Acupuncture are important for balancing out your Hormones and causing "almost immediate" changes.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

Notes from Chat Gpt for 3 Menopause Strength Workouts “These workouts are designed to help women in menopause maintain lean muscle, improve bone health, and boost metabolism. Encourage the women to lift heavier weights as they feel stronger while maintaining proper form. Always leave room for rest and recovery to support hormone balance.” For menopause metabolism, a total body workout is generally better. Here's why: Boosts overall metabolism: Total body workouts engage multiple large muscle groups, which means more calorie burn both during and after the workout. This is great for combating the slower metabolism that often accompanies menopause. Time-efficient: A total body routine lets you hit all the major muscle groups in one session, perfect for those with busy schedules. Hormonal balance: Engaging the whole body in one session can help with better regulation of hormones like cortisol and insulin, which are crucial during menopause. More frequent stimulus: With total body workouts, you're stimulating your muscles more frequently, which helps preserve muscle mass key for maintaining a healthy metabolism. Split routines can be effective too, but total body sessions may offer more metabolic bang for your buck during menopause.

Today's care for adrenals in the realm of alternative and conventional medicine is similar to being on a boat in the ocean, but there's a hole in the bottom of the boat and all you have is a little bucket to scoop out the water that's coming in, and in order to stay afloat you have no choice but to keep scooping the water out or you will drown. Any recommendations that are potentially helpful for someone's adrenal fatigue or adrenal issues is quickly voided out by the lifestyle the person has. It's the same lifestyle taught to them from earlier on in life, or even recent, trendy, selfcare lifestyle hacks that are also unhelpful to the adrenals and even threatening. What practices are you doing for your adrenals? Chances are some of those practices aren't supportive to the adrenals and could even be doing the opposite, including harming the adrenals. We take for granted our adrenals. Our everyday existence hinges upon how strong our adrenals really are. Every move we make and every chore we do relies on adrenaline. Even the most basic, simple, everyday tasks and necessities depend on adrenaline. There is a large amount of adrenaline wastage occurring in this world and people are throwing away critical storage bins of adrenaline out the door and even worse¬—that very same adrenaline is corrosive and damaging to the brain and nervous system when deployed improperly. Most people have addictions they are unaware of that require large amounts of adrenaline to be released into their bloodstream so they can function on a high that they absolutely are oblivious to. It's not their fault; it's what we have been taught down here on Planet Earth. If you are someone who is interested in restoring the adrenal glands, those two little warriors that sit above your kidneys, or if you are someone who is suffering with any kind of adrenal issue, including adrenal fatigue, you may want to listen to this episode.
