Podcasts about ashwagandha

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Geo Espinosa, one of America's foremost integrative urologists.

Dr. Geo Espinosa, one of America's foremost integrative urologists, dishes on men's urinary problems, natural support for testosterone, and prostate cancer. Lifestyle factors—diet, exercise, sleep and stress reduction—play an important role in all phases of urological health. Dr. Geo explains how he interacts with conventional urologists on the faculty of NYU Langone Medical Center where he practices. Why are men's urinary problems not just a matter of prostate size? How can natural strategies alleviate urinary difficulties without the need for surgery or drugs? Besides saw palmetto, what nutraceuticals can benefit men with urinary problems? Are there really natural herbal alternatives to testosterone? For men with prostate cancer who are under active surveillance, is there anything more that can be done to minimize their chance of eventually needing surgery or radiation? What nutraceuticals, vitamins and minerals have anti-prostate cancer potential?

If your nervous system has been feeling fried lately — you're not alone.In this episode of The Herbalist's Path, I'm sharing the herbal allies that have truly carried me through this season of uncertainty and overwhelm.We'll chat about my favorite adaptogens and nervines for calming anxiety, easing tension, rebuilding resilience, and supporting the immune system when stress takes over — including Linden, Tulsi, Milky Oats, and Ashwagandha.You'll also hear a little peek into my summer in Oregon — from camping and rafting adventures to teaching in-person herbal classes — and how these plants helped me stay grounded, centered, and strong through it all.Whether you're new to herbal medicine or just need a reminder that nature's got your back, this episode is full of practical herbal wisdom to help you calm your nerves and care for your family — naturally. 

Have you noticed how some herbs are suddenly everywhere? Ashwagandha for stress, turmeric shots for inflammation, and milk thistle for “detox”? In this episode, I take a closer look at these three popular herbs — what the research actually supports, what's marketing hype, and how we can use them wisely and safely.

In this episode of the Ayurveda Meets Modern Science podcast, host Dr. John Douillard does a deep dive on Ashwagandha, the classic Ayurvedic herb and powerful adaptogen. He discusses the current research on the herb, the best way to use it, and the many ways your health can benefit if it is used correctly. The post Podcast Episode 161: All About Ashwagandha appeared first on John Douillard's LifeSpa.

This episode highlights Ashwagandha, a medicinal herb that originates from the Indian Ayurvedic tradition. I'm spending time with this nourishing plant today with an herbal monograph episode. An herbal monograph is also called materia medica. It is a collection of knowledge about one plant that helps to describe the plant as a material of medicine. In the last episode of an herbal diary, I spoke about a general category of plants called adaptogens.  If you've listened to that last episode, you will remember we talked about how there are only a few herbs that through research can be clearly defined as adaptogens. Ashwagandha is one of these herbs.  Ashwagandha's botanical name: Withania Somnifera Plant Family: Solanaceae Link to Adaptogen Episode   I'm excited to tell you about a new Herbal Diary spinoff. It's a virtual baking club. We will highlight at least one herb each time we meet, you can bake along with me or just watch. I will send recipes ahead of time. More details to come very soon!

A progesterona é muito mais do que o “hormônio da gestação” – ela é essencial para o equilíbrio do ciclo menstrual, para o sono, para o humor, para a clareza mental e até para o envelhecimento saudável. Mas o que fazer quando ela está baixa? E até onde é possível otimiza-la naturalmente?Neste episódio, eu, Isabela Fortes, te convido a entender de forma profunda o que realmente está por trás da baixa progesterona, sem a visão reducionista de “dar um suplemento e pronto”. Vamos expandir a compreensão sobre como os hormônios funcionam como uma verdadeira sinfonia e aprender estratégias práticas para apoiar o corpo a produzir mais progesterona.Neste episódio você vai aprender:Os sinais e sintomas mais comuns da baixa progesterona.As causas frequentes são: estresse crônico, má nutrição, anovulação, SOP, perimenopausa, toxinas ambientais e mais.O papel do sistema nervoso e da percepção de segurança na produção hormonal.O impacto do ambiente interno e externo na saúde hormonal.Nutrição essencial para apoiar a progesterona: calorias adequadas, proteínas, gorduras boas e micronutrientes como B6, vitamina C, zinco, magnésio e ômega-3.Estilo de vida e saúde hormonal: sono, manejo do estresse, saúde intestinal, exposição solar, exercícios equilibrados.O papel de ervas e suplementos como Vitex, Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, óleo de peixe e sulforafano.Quando as estratégias naturais já não são suficientes é hora de considerar terapia de reposição hormonal bioidêntica.Como diferenciar os caminhos na fase reprodutiva, perimenopausa e pós-menopausa.Para refletir:Baixa progesterona não é necessariamente um “capricho exclusivo do envelhecimento” ou apenas “coisa da menopausa”. Para as gatas em fase reprodutiva, lembre-se de que isso é um sinal de que o corpo não se sente seguro para funcionar em harmonia. O caminho não é buscar soluções mágicas, mas sim auditar a sua vida, reduzir estressores e nutrir o corpo de verdade.Patrocinador do episódio de hoje Yorgus. Você pode adquirir os produtos com desconto pelo site usando o cupom ISABELA15 → nuviofoods.com.brMeu livro Perimeno Quê?

In this episode of Your Natural Dog with Angela Ardolino, Angela and Carter sit down with Dr. Joel Ehrenzweig, veterinarian, researcher, and founder of Veterinary Health Research Centers — to talk about the groundbreaking Senior Dog Study they've been running together for the past year. Dr. Ehrenzweig shares why he shifted from a strictly pharmaceutical approach to fully embracing natural medicine late in his career. Angela, Carter and Dr. Ehrenzweig discuss how the Senior Dog Study is helping to validate what holistic practitioners have known for years: that functional mushrooms and natural adaptogens can potentially make a real difference in cognitive health, quality of life, and emotional connection for senior dogs.If you have an aging pup and have ever been told “there's nothing we can do,” this episode will give you hope, real data, and real-life stories showing that there are options. Learn more about the Senior Dog Study. Episode RecapLaunching the Senior Dog Study – Carter shares how they recruited a diverse group of senior dogs experiencing cognitive decline—many from families who believed they had no options left—then tracked behavior, activity, and sleep to build a data-backed picture of progress over the course of the study. (00:31)Validating Centuries of Natural Medicine – Angela shares how rescuing senior dogs inspired her to prove that natural approaches—real food, hemp, mushrooms, and adaptogens—can help aging pets thrive without relying on pharmaceutical “longevity drugs.” Dr. Ehrenzweig reflects on his shift from a strictly pharmaceutical mindset, describing how client feedback opened his eyes to alternative options and why he was intrigued to join this groundbreaking study. (02:46)Rethinking Canine Cognitive Decline – Dr. Ehrenzweig explains why a CCD diagnosis shouldn't be seen as “the end” for senior dogs, noting that it develops gradually and shares many similarities with human dementia and Alzheimer's. He describes the challenge of studying such a complex condition and the promise of finding better options beyond pharmaceuticals. Dr. Joel expresses hope that demonstrating improvement in dogs could pave the way for better, more natural options for humans facing cognitive decline in the future. (08:10)The Power of Whole-Plant Medicine & Synergy – Angela shares why her mission is to create pure, whole-plant and mushroom formulas rather than isolated compounds, emphasizing that nature's ingredients work best together. Combining adaptogens like Lion's Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps, Ashwagandha, and Bacopa Monnieri creates a synergistic effect—targeting multiple aspects of cognitive decline and delivering the results seen in the Senior Dog Study. (11:55)Measuring the Impact of Mushrooms & Adaptogens on CCD – Carter explains how the synergistic blend of Lion's Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps, Ashwagandha, and Bacopa Monnieri for dogs was designed to address multiple aspects of cognitive decline, from calming the nervous system to supporting neuroprotection and brain oxygenation. To capture these effects, the team used detailed questionnaires and scoring systems to track behaviors like nighttime waking, disorientation, and social engagement—finding that while every dog's response is different, the combination consistently improved quality of life across a wide range of cases.(14:44)Recognizing the First Signs of CCD – Dr. Joel explains that one of the earliest and most telling signs of canine cognitive decline is a shift in sleep patterns—dogs sleeping more during the day, then pacing or appearing restless at night. With wearable collars, pet parents, and researchers, can now track movement and sleep 24/7, giving an objective view of these changes. (20:01)Real-Life Transformations from Mushrooms & Adaptogens – Angela shares moving stories of senior dogs who were scheduled for euthanasia but experienced dramatic turnarounds after starting on these mushrooms & adaptogens—regaining mobility, focus, and connection with their families in just days. Dr. Joel, a seasoned veterinary researcher with over 15 years of experience, admits he had never seen natural ingredients work this quickly and effectively, reinforcing just how extraordinary these study results have been. (26:22)Beyond Anecdotes, Real Evidence from the Senior Dog Study – Carter and Dr. Joel emphasize that the Senior Dog Study is more than just testimonials. By combining real-time collar data that tracks sleep, wake cycles, and activity with caregiver questionnaires and even blood biomarkers like BDNF and CRP, they've created an objective, data-backed picture of how dogs are responding. Dr. Joel notes that even when improvements vary, simply slowing decline can be a meaningful win for families — and in many cases, the results are dramatic, with dogs showing better engagement, calmer behavior, and restored quality of life.

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.

Dr. Jeffrey BurkeTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Dr. Jeffrey Burke. Dr. Burke has been an expert in the natural products & herbal supplement industry for the past 4 decades. In this episode, we chat about how he got into that field, and why he decided to become a Naturopathic Practitioner, as well as a Master Herbalist. We discuss his 20,000 plus episodes of his national radio show, and why he ended it after 40 years. Dr. Burke also explains what a naturopathic practitioner is, what a master herbalist is, and what it means to be a certified nutritional consultant. Dr. Burke extolls the virtues and benefits of several natural products including: Ashwagandha, Turmeric, & others; and then tells me about how those herbs help alleviate the symptoms of stress, inflammation, and allergies. We discuss The Mediterranean Diet, and how the things that we become allergic to change with our environment. Dr. Jeffrey Burke recently became the Director of Education for Kokora Life; and as such, he tells me all about the new style of farming that Kokora is taking part in. The owner of Kokora Life is Ric Scalzo, a leader in the field for decades, and he has instituted Certified Regenerative Agriculture practices on his farm in Costa Rica. Dr. Burke tells me what that means, and why it is transforming the farming & agricultural landscape worldwide. Finally, we discuss his podcast: Honest Health With Dr. Jeffrey Burke. On his podcast, he speaks with industry experts, as well as athletes, dieticians, and food health professionals. He even does deep dives on some of the specific herbs & products offered by Kokora Life. His goal with that podcast is to educate folks on the benefits of these supplements, whether they use his company's brand or not.

In this episode of the Bacon, Bibles, and Barbells Podcast, some of the High Calling Fitness Coach Justin breaks down 10 supplements that people may think are HARMLESS, but can actually cause real damage to your overall health when used for too long or in the wrong context over time. Unfortunately, Coach Bill was not able to finish out the podcast due to storms in his area and internet issues towards the beginning of the show. The "supplement" industry is kind of like the wild, wild west right now in the health and fitness industry. There are a lot of these things that can be used properly in the right context with the right person, but we never recommend just starting a supplement that a friend recommends or that might fit your symptoms without careful analysis. Some of these things can REALLY harm your body when used in the wrong context or for too long of a period of time. Find out what ones we are most leery of when consulting with clients and which ones we have seen do the most damage by diving into this podcast!

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   BM: Hi Dr. Cabral! Would you have any health recommendations (how to help our bodies and especially respiratory system and lungs) for those people (children of 6 years old and adults) who live in areas with constant outdoor air pollution from PM10, PM2.5, Ozone (gases from vehicles, volatile organic compounds)? Specifically, when US AQI ranges from Moderate (51) to Unhealthy (139) and Very Unhealthy (263). We already have indoor air filters with HEPA, keep doors/windows shut, limit being outdoors especially when US AQI is too high.                                                                         Sheena: Hi Dr . C! Thx for taking me question. I'm taking Equilife's Balanced Zinc but live in Canada and currently looking for a comparable one that I can find here. The only one that I found has similar ingredients with zinc traacs biglycinate chelate and copper traacs biglycinate is a thyroid supplement but its also has iodine, ashwaghanda, selenium, l-tyrosine, manganese traacs chelate and bacopa extract (not sure what that is). what are your thoughts on this supplement? anything I should avoid? thanks in advance for answering this and for all that you do!                                                                  Sasha: CBO protocol seems great for any yeast/fungal or bacterial overgrowth. I'm curious how effective it is for people diagnosed with methane SIBO/IMO with archaea and constipated. I have read that allicin is the most effective herb to kill archaea but CBO protocol only has berberine and oregano oil. Wondering if people suffering from methane SIBO should have an additional herbal antimicrobial like allicin added while following the rest of the CBO protocol. Thanks!                                 Anonymous: Hi, I'm wondering about usage of microwaves, I've heard you talk about it on HouseCalls and I understood that microwaving destroys nutrients in food, changes the molecules etc., but asking ChatGPT (and having a long conversation about it), it kept giving me research on how microwaving is actually better than other cooking methods because it supposedly preserves more nutrients, doesn't change the molecular structure of food etc. This made me very confused on the subject.. would you mind explaining what you think based on all this research? Was it paid by manufacturers? If you could dive deep into it and make it into a full episode, that would be great.. Thanks so much for all your work and help!                                                                                                                                                                       Andy: Appreciate you answering questions!

I'm going to review the cortisol and exercise connection or confusion… and offer some solutions. Feeling exhausted, frustrated and fat? Got stubborn belly fat you want to lose? You're exercising but tired all the time? Sleep or don't, and you're still never rested?  Sound familiar or been there? This episode is PACKED with solutions on cortisol and exercise in menopause. Don't miss it.   What is Cortisol? Your body's primary stress hormone, but it's also your energy hormone. Regulates metabolism, immune response, and stress. Mental and emotional response to stress. For women in midlife, perimenopause or postmenopause, how cortisol behaves is everything.   Cortisol Follows Your Circadian Rhythm Morning: Cortisol spikes – helps you get up, feel alert, burn fat, and stabilize blood sugar. Evening: Cortisol drops – when melatonin (your sleep hormone) takes over. Disruptions to Circadian Rhythm – chronic stress, fatigue, overexercising, late-night screen time keep cortisol elevated when it should be dropping.   HPA Axis Dysfunction (hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal) Your body's stress thermostat — when it's overworked, it breaks. Constant demand leads to adrenal insufficiency.  HPA Axis dial things down to protect you and that's when you hit a wall: You're tired but wired. You can't sleep or sleep all day. Your blood sugar is out of whack — hello cravings and midsection weight gain. Workouts leave you exhausted instead of energized.   Work Out Doesn't Work Anymore? Cortisol Chaos When your old workouts become stressors instead of solutions. Workouts add fuel to the fire. Solution: Cortisol-Conscious Movement The right exercise, at the right time, for the right reason.   The Cortisol–Thyroid–Adrenal Triangle Cortisol: Regulates blood sugar and inflammation. Thyroid: Controls metabolism — but sensitive to cortisol imbalances. Adrenals: Produces cortisol — but burns out if they're overstimulated. If cortisol stays high, the thyroid slows metabolism. That's when fat loss becomes frustrating, no matter how you eat or train.   The Influence of Cortisol and Exercise in Menopause    Cortisol During Perimenopause and Postmenopause Hormonal Fluctuations Decline in estrogen and progesterone affects cortisol regulation. Increased sensitivity to stress and potential for cortisol imbalance. Symptoms of Elevated Cortisol Weight gain, especially around the abdomen. Sleep disturbances and fatigue. Mood swings and anxiety    Symptoms of Low Cortisol  Fatigue - in spite of rest Low Blood Pressure, weakness   Loss of Appetite    Know When You Are On An Allostatic Load When you reach a tipping point, overloaded by chronic stress. Different kinds of stressors: Emotional Relationship Financial Work Home Hormonal Change Physical (diet & sleep) Exercise   The Good News: Cortisol Isn't Your Enemy Cortisol isn't bad. It's misunderstood. When it works with you, it helps you burn fat, stay focused, and bounce back fast. The key is restoring rhythm — using smart, intentional exercise and lifestyle upgrades that rebalance your body's natural stress-response system.   Exercise and Cortisol Impact of Exercise on Cortisol Levels High-intensity workouts can spike cortisol levels. (it's natural!!)  Chronic overtraining may lead to sustained high cortisol and adrenal fatigue . Timing Matters Morning workouts align with natural cortisol peaks. Evening high-intensity workouts may disrupt sleep and cortisol rhythm .   Managing Cortisol Levels Lifestyle Strategies Prioritize sleep and stress management techniques. Incorporate relaxation practices like yoga and meditation, box breathing. Nutrition Tips Maintain stable blood sugar with balanced meals. Limit caffeine and alcohol intake Avoid strict keto or carnivore and include resistant starches  Exercise Recommendations Focus on low-to-moderate intensity and short duration workouts. Include restorative activities and avoid overtraining. Supplement Recommendations B vitamins and magnesium are depleted by stress.  Maca (Find Femminescense here) is an adaptogen.  Ashwagandha can also be helpful for some.  Cortisol Manager (available online) contains some of the above.   Solutions To Your Questions on Cortisol and Exercise in Menopause   Q: Can I recover from adrenal issues on my own? A: Yes, but only if you actually slow down and stop pushing through it. Most women make the mistake of thinking rest is weakness. It's not. Recovery starts when you listen to your body's signals instead of ignoring them. Dial down high-intensity workouts (for now), focus on sleep, manage blood sugar, and pull in the right kind of movement — walking, yoga, strength training with intention. Identifying how deep your HPA Axis dysfunction goes.  Recovery is possible — but not if you keep acting like nothing's wrong.   Q: How long will it take to recover? A: That depends on how long you've been burned out… and whether you actually change your behavior. Mild adrenal fatigue: 4–6 weeks of rest + smart training + nutrition can turn things around. Moderate dysfunction: 3–6 months to really feel like yourself again. Severe HPA Axis dysfunction or adrenal insufficiency: 6–12 months of consistent changes, possibly with functional support. Reminder: The sooner you start, the faster you bounce back.   Q: Will I lose this weight once I fix my cortisol issues? A: Most likely — yes. If cortisol is the reason for your stubborn midsection fat, fixing it is a prerequisite to fat loss. Cortisol dysregulation = insulin resistance, blood sugar swings, cravings, and metabolism slowdown. When cortisol normalizes, your thyroid, adrenals, and metabolism start cooperating again. But here's the kicker: you can't “outwork” cortisol. You have to work with it.

Ever take ashwagandha to "fix" your stress, only to end up feeling just as exhausted (and maybe even worse hormonally)? Friend, I've been there too.  If you're relying on adaptogens to “fix” fatigue, weight gain, or hormonal chaos but still feel wired-and-tired, here's what I want you to know: masking stress won't heal your hormones. The duct-tape approach might help temporarily, but without addressing the root cause, you're setting yourself up for a crash.  In this episode, I'm breaking down:  The #1 mistake women make with adaptogens, and when they can help vs. when they're just a band-aid  How cortisol hijacks your hormones even if your bloodwork looks normal5 hidden root causes of stress overload (hint: blood sugar crashes and gut issues are bigger culprits than your to-do list)  My favorite nervous system tricks to signal safety to your bodyIf you're done duct-taping your stressed body together and ready to actually heal, let's do this together—hit play now. NEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain how specific hormones influence both energy levels and the immune system and discuss practical tools for increasing energy throughout the day and managing stress. I discuss the mechanism through which cortisol and epinephrine (adrenaline) impact the brain and body and why it's important to regulate their levels, considering factors like time of day or stress levels. I also cover the positive benefits of short-term stress and behavioral protocols to increase energy and enhance stress resilience. Additionally, I explain how to optimize hormone levels through tools like sunlight exposure, meal timing, and supplements such as ashwagandha. Huberman Lab Essentials episodes are approximately 30 minutes long and focus on key science and protocol takeaways from past Huberman Lab episodes. Essentials will be released every Thursday, and our full-length episodes will continue to be released every Monday. Read the full episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.
