Sometimes there are problems with trying to fix your problems.  You can hack your behavior, do more and more actions, procure more desirable circumstances and really perfect a limited version of yourself.  One who never grows or progresses or frees herself to create the astounding future you deserve.  Or you can start seeing your approach to problems differently.come visit my website: www.healthcouragecollective.comemail me: healthcouragecollective@gmail.comThe Problem with Trying to Fix Your ProblemsIn episode 214 of the Healthcare Collective Podcast, the host discusses the pitfalls of focusing on fixing problems rather than building a brighter future. Using storytelling and real-life examples, including a struggling NBA player, the episode highlights how emphasizing problem-solving can trap individuals in a cycle of limitation. Instead, a shift in perspective is recommended, focusing on creating desired outcomes by addressing internal mental frameworks rather than external circumstances. Listeners are encouraged to rethink their approach to challenges to unlock their full potential.00:00 Introduction: The Problem with Fixing Problems00:33 Welcome and Episode Overview01:15 The Nature of Problem Solving02:53 Case Study: NBA Player's Struggle04:56 Shifting Perspectives on Problems05:37 Health and Fitness Challenges09:00 Building a New Foundation17:13 Exercise: Movement vs. Training18:53 Conclusion and Next Steps

What if the key to feeling better at 45 than you did at 25 isn't about accepting "normal" lab values, but about optimizing your hormones to their ideal levels? In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Lauren Fitzgerald—a board-certified anesthesiologist who now specializes in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy—challenges conventional medical wisdom about hormone health.Dr. Fitzgerald breaks down the critical difference between bioidentical hormones and non-bioidentical versions. This distinction isn't just academic—it has profound implications for safety and effectiveness. While your doctor might tell you your hormone levels are "normal," those ranges often represent the average of an increasingly unhealthy population, not optimal levels for vitality and longevity.Contrary to lingering misconceptions from outdated studies, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy has been shown to decrease cancer risk, protect cardiovascular health, prevent osteoporosis, and support cognitive function. For both women navigating perimenopause and men experiencing age-related testosterone decline, properly administered bioidentical hormones can transform quality of life. Whether you're struggling with brain fog, fatigue, weight issues, or just don't feel like your vibrant self anymore, this conversation offers a roadmap to reclaiming your energy and zest for life through evidence-based hormone optimization.https://larimarmed.com/.  @worldlinkhttps://worldlinkmedical.com/education/conferences/academic-summit-2025Lies I Taught In Medical School : Free sample chapter- https://www.robertlufkinmd.com/lies/Complete Metabolic Heart Scan (LUFKIN20 for 20% off) https://www.innerscopic.com/Fasting Mimicking Diet (20% off) https://prolonlife.com/Lufkin At home blood testing (20% off) https://siphoxhealth.com/lufkinMimio Health (LUFKIN for 15% off) https://mimiohealth.sjv.io/c/5810114/2745519/30611 Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/X: https://x.com/robertlufkinmdYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/robertLufkinmdInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertlufkinmd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertlufkinmd/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@robertlufkinThreads: https://www.threads.net/@robertlufkinmdFacebook: ...

Perimenopause is a significant transition for many women, bringing with it a series of hormonal and physical challenges, including often-unexplained weight gain, particularly around the midsection. Health expert Chemaine Linnie, a certified hormone specialist and fitness coach, offers valuable insights from her own 165-pound weight loss journey and years of guiding women through this hormonal shift. Rock Bottom to Transformation Chemaine's personal journey began at her lowest point as a teenage mother in Dublin, weighing 280 pounds. A pivotal moment—her sister cutting her out of a dress—ignited her resolve: "That was my rock bottom. That's when I promised myself I would never go back". Through discipline, education, and a new passion for fitness, she transformed her life, eventually moving to Canada and becoming a respected wellness figure. However, as she and her clients aged, new obstacles emerged. The Real Culprit Contrary to popular belief, Chemaine emphasizes that perimenopausal weight gain isn't solely due to estrogen or a slowing metabolism. Instead, she points to adrenaline dominance and blood sugar imbalances as the primary culprits. Symptoms like irritability, sleep disturbances, rage, low libido, hot flashes, and night sweats are often indicators of high adrenaline and low progesterone, not just estrogen. The demanding modern lifestyle, especially in places like Canada, exacerbates these issues, with women juggling numerous responsibilities and feeling guilty about managing stress. Sleep: Your Secret Weapon Before diving into complicated protocols, Chemaine always starts with one thing: sleep. Not just any sleep, but deep, restorative sleep that allows your hormones to reset. Her approach is surprisingly simple. Screens off before bed. Magnesium supplementation. High-dose GABA – 1,500 mg or more. Create a quiet wind-down ritual that signals to your nervous system that it's safe to rest. When you sleep better, everything else falls into place. You make better food choices. You have energy to move your body. You feel more in control instead of constantly reacting. The next step is hormone balance. Bioidentical progesterone – what Chemaine calls "the hormone of vitality and sanity" – often plummets before estrogen does. When it's restored, you get better sleep, fewer cravings, stable moods, and even restored libido. Small Wins, Big Results Weight gain during perimenopause isn't your body betraying you. It's your body sending up flares, asking for support. The solution isn't another restrictive diet or punishing workout routine. It's about understanding what your body actually needs. Chemaine's philosophy is refreshingly realistic. Forget dramatic transformations and all-or-nothing approaches. Focus on small wins: improving one meal at a time, adding a 30-minute walk, aiming for just one pound per week. It's not flashy, but it's sustainable. As Chemaine puts it: "We deserve to live again." Your forties and fifties aren't about accepting decline – they're about reclaiming your vitality with wisdom you didn't have in your twenties. In this podcast you'll learn... Why willpower doesn't work for weight loss in perimenopause (and what to do instead)  Why most women aren't getting real rest—and the sleep protocol that changes everything  How bioidentical progesterone can restore your sense of self Why small, consistent changes beat dramatic overhauls every single time   EPISODE RESOURCES: Website Instagram Facebook Youtube  

There's a prescription I think almost every woman should eventually be on, but most of them don't know that it could improve their future.  Things change as we age, but there's no reason to suffer unnecessarily, especially when there are cheap and easy solutions that can help you live more as you get older, rather than less.  If you want to improve your overall resilience while lowering your risk for urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness, pain with sex, and more, I think it's worth your time to learn about vaginal estrogen and eliminate these problems before they even start.  come to my website: www.healthcouragecollective.comemail me: healthcouragecollective@gmail.comIntroduction: The Prescription Every Woman Should Know About00:24 The Importance of Vaginal Estrogen01:17 Personal Reflections and Exceptions01:52 The Consequences of Ignoring Vaginal Health05:14 Statistics and Realities of Women's Health Issues09:07 Medical Community's Shortcomings09:59 Understanding Vaginal Estrogen and Its Benefits14:31 Challenges and Misconceptions in Prescribing Estrogen16:09 Different Forms of Vaginal Estrogen24:52 Compounded Products and Alternatives26:15 Conclusion: Empowering Women with Knowledge

*Trigger warning: we share personal experiences about miscarriage in this episode*In this heartwarming (and off-the-cuff) episode, Jess and Rye sit down with their mom, Candace Burch — hormone health educator, founder of Your Hormone Balance, and living testament to aging with vibrance. Candace shares pivotal life lessons from her 20's, 30's and 40's. From her first shaky steps with hormonal birth control in the 1960s, to getting pregnant in her late 30s, to navigating perimenopause and ultimately becoming a fierce advocate for hormone testing and natural balance. This candid conversation is packed with wisdom for women at every life stage.Key Talking Points:— The powerful (and unintended) impact of going on hormonal birth control in her 20s — acne scars, mood swings, and why she wishes she'd had cycle awareness tools.— How feeling “broody” in her mid-30s led to embracing motherhood after years of living footloose in Europe (and selling art out of a van in France!).— Her traumatic miscarriage experience in Paris, what she learned about progesterone, and how it actually sparked her desire to have children.— The reality of having kids in her late 30s and early 40s, then heading straight into perimenopause with unpredictable moods and hot flashes.— How hormone testing, lifestyle changes, and bioidentical progesterone cream changed everything — plus why personalized testing is essential.— What women in their 20s & 30s should start doing now to support future hormone balance, fertility, and graceful aging.— Why it's never selfish to prioritize your health, and how Candace keeps thriving (and dancing past midnight) at 77.Resources Mentioned:

Initially, lithium was found beneficial in natural springs where the water was high in lithium, then it started being used in soda beverages noted for mood stabilization. Interestingly, lithium is found naturally in the environment and higher levels in drinking water correlate with improved mental health and longevity. Various studies suggest potential benefits of low-dose lithium for cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, metabolic, and cognitive health, while also addressing the risks associated with high dosages. The episode advises listeners to consider lithium supplementation for its potential health advantages and discusses practical ways to incorporate it into daily routines.01:09 A Journey Back to 1860s 02:56 The Rise of Soda and Lithium in Medicine06:27 Lithium: From Mood Stabilizer to Potential Supplement07:40 The Science Behind Lithium's Benefits12:00 Considering Lithium as a Supplement14:38 Practical Tips for Taking Lithium

Thinking about hormone replacement therapy but unsure what's right for you? In this episode of the Paloma Health podcast, we're diving deep into bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)—a treatment option that's gaining attention for being more aligned with your body's natural chemistry. You'll learn what bioidentical hormones actually are, how they differ from traditional synthetic hormones, and why many experts consider them a gentler and potentially safer alternative.We'll break down the science behind BHRT, focusing on commonly used hormones like estradiol and progesterone that are chemically identical to those your body naturally produces. We also explore why the delivery method—especially transdermal options like patches or gels—matters for both effectiveness and safety, potentially reducing the risk of blood clots, heart disease, and breast cancer compared to oral synthetic hormone therapies.But not all BHRT is created equal. This episode also tackles the controversy around compounded bioidentical hormones, which are custom-made by specialty pharmacies but not FDA-approved. We explain the concerns around quality control, dosing consistency, and regulation—while also acknowledging that for some people, compounded formulations may be necessary.If you're navigating perimenopause or menopause, this episode will help you better understand your options. LEARN MOREYou can learn more about how bioidentical hormone replacement therapy in an in-depth article at the Paloma Health blog. https://www.palomahealth.com/learn/is-bioidentical-hrt-safer-more-effective  ABOUT PALOMA HEALTH ⁠⁠Paloma Health ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠is an online medical practice focused exclusively on treating hypothyroidism.

If doing the healthy behaviors that you feel like you should do always feels like an endless, joyless uphill battle, maybe it's because you think {q} “being healthy,” -whatever that even means-, is an end in and of itself.  An end that you should obviously want.  That you should be scared of not achieving.  But that's backward.  Keeping our reasons for creating a healthy physiology in the proper perspective is so easy to overlook.  But seeing things clearly changes everything about how it feels to do the hard work of putting more years lived in good health in your future.come connect with me:  www.healthcouragecollective.comemail me directly: healthcouragecollective@gmail.comTake my Udemy Course about Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy$10 off EYE BUY DIRECT: https://www.eyebuydirect.com/referral/1615995 Lume Deoderant discount: http://lumedeodorant.refr.cc/christinahackett $10 off coupon for your first order at Built Bar.

Instead of viewing health as an end goal, the discussion focuses on using health to enhance one's life and character. The episode dives into the concept of character development through the lens of famous figures and the distinction between 'resume virtues' and 'eulogy virtues.' By caring for one's physical body akin to a musician caring for their instrument, individuals can better engage in life's challenges and personal growth. The importance of maintaining perspective on health and utilizing it to mature morally and spiritually is emphasized, ultimately aiming to add more years lived in good health.00:00 Introduction: The True Meaning of Health00:46 Welcome and Magnesium Check01:29 Caring for Your Instrument: A Metaphor for Health02:53 Challenging Health Norms and Values06:05 The Deeper Purpose of Aging Well08:58 The Struggle for Character and Virtue13:20 The Importance of Humility and Wisdom19:32 Final Thoughts: Health as a Means to an End

Too many women are being told NO to getting hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for their menopause symptoms in midlife.  But the truth is… the benefits of HRT can WAY outweigh the risks for helping you feel like yourself again. The problem?  The massive knowledge gap in hormonal medicine.   That's why this week, I'm joined by the incredible Dr. Louise Newson, a trailblazing general practitioner and menopause specialist who's transforming the conversation around hormone health.  We're diving into the real risks of not prescribing HRT, why hormones can be a game changer for your symptoms, and the surprising link between menopause, migraines, and inflammation.  Dr. Newson is bringing the science and clarity to the HRT convo, and she's here to help you reclaim your voice—and your hormonal health.  Listen here to set the record straight and start advocating for what you truly deserve! Dr. Louise Newson Dr. Louise Newson is a physician, women's hormone specialist, and member of the UK Government's Menopause Taskforce. She's an award-winning doctor, educator, and author, dedicated to raising awareness of women's health in perimenopause and menopause. Dr Louise studied Medicine and Pathology at The University of Manchester in England and worked in hospital medicine before switching to specialize in General Practice and medical writing. IN THIS EPISODE The revolution of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy  Synthetic vs. bioidentical hormones  Advocating for yourself and addressing the conversation of hormone replacement therapy options with your doctor  Individualizing hormone replacement therapies  Hormones for addressing conditions like migraine  How hormones affect women's long-term health  HRT for mitigating inflammation in the entire body  Lifestyle suggestions and habits to promote hormonal balance  QUOTES “Let's just remind ourselves that hormones are an evidence-based treatment and the guidelines are telling us that it has more benefits than risks for the majority of women. Yet… It's only a minority of women in our countries and other countries that are receiving it.”  “It's harrowing what people are being told by their clinicians. And they often just want advice. They don't always want treatment, or they want to know the treatment options available to them in the future. But they're not getting any answers, and I think this is a great disservice to women.”  “I see a lot in the clinic, women who have seen all sorts of specialists, have all sorts of treatments, but no one's spoken about their hormones.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Dr. Louise Newson's Website Dr. Newson's Instagram Dr. Newson's Podcast Get Dr. Newson's FREE Balance App: Your go-to for Menopause Health  Pre-order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution HERE!  RELATED EPISODES  #647: Hormone Optimization Therapy (HOT) Isn't Your Mom's HRT + It's One Of The Best Strategies For Longevity with Dr. Amy Killen #648: This Changes Everything: The Perimenopause Revolution Every Woman Needs Now #620: What You Need to Know About Premature Menopause, Perimenopause, HRT and Your Options with Dr. Salome Masghati #605: Breaking the HRT Confusion: The Truth Behind Hormone Replacement Therapy for Perimenopausal Women with Karen Martel

Are you looking to manage your hormones but were told to wait until menopause? Do you feel you were ignored by your doctor when you asked about HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), perimenopause, menopause, endometriosis, anxiety, depression, brain fog, weight gain, PCOS, or postpartum issues? We invited Dr. Sarah Daccarett, a top hormone expert and founder of Inner Balance to the podcast to give you some clarity and empowerment, because the decline of hormones starts much earlier than you think and most doctors are not hormone experts. The go-to answer for a myriad of symptoms has always been birth control. Birth control is NOT a hormone, and it's not HRT. It's a chemical and shouldn't be prescribed as a treatment. Dr. Daccarett is here to debunk estrogen dominance and explain why you don't need lab work for HRT, you need to be heard. And btw, HRT is safe in case you were scared by the media years ago. Hormones are a source of youth and beauty and wellbeing and they can be optimal no matter how old you are. Help is out there and HRT is your choice. You can have your cake and eat it too.

However, many people — even children — are experiencing hormone disruptions today.[03:37] Jackie: "It's really our practices, focusing on how the body was designed by God, and how can we work with it to really help that person heal through all stages of life."Jackie tries to help people return to what she believes is the body's "natural" state. She thinks that's what God intends for the human body.Her journey began when she went to Church, and the message was about procrastination.

I am going through perimenopause or menopause, then you have more peace about it.”All hormones work as messengers in the human body.

You can make your healthy choices, the choices you wish you'd just make automatically….automatic if you know the language of the future!  It's not Jawaese or Clingon.  It's the language of algorithms, and it can make your life amazing!  Algorithms are just a process or set of rules to be followed in a series of steps that can be used to make calculations, resolve problems, and reach decisions.  Whether you know it or not, your life is already a series of algorithms.  If (this)....then (that).  You can leverage this language to install algorithms that run on autopilot that create a life that will blow your mind.$10 off Eye Buy Direct Glasses:  https://www.eyebuydirect.com/referral/1615995Visit me: www.healthcouragecollective.comEmail me directly: healthcouragecollective@gmail.com

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:      Melissa: I am 43, 160lbs 5ft. 6 good amount of muscle. I eat completely clean as in grassfed fed, organic turkey, organic chicken occasionally brocolli, cauliflower, carrots, asparagus and arugula, pickles, saurkraut and kimchi and I only drink water. I do eat a good amount of protein 140ish grams a day. I just got bloodworm and my A1C was 5.6. All other markers were great just that one was high for me not dr. ...why when I don't eat sugar of any sorts! Just recently as in last few weeks started introducing some fruit back in such as apples, blueberries and strawberries but still so confused can you explain?                                                                                                                                                                                               Kelly: Hi Dr. Cabral, I just completed a 7 day detox, love it. Today I started the Heavy Metal detox. Really excited about detoxing my body from toxic metals. I have high Aluminum and mercury and mineral ratios are off. Anyway, Thank you for your protocols. I'm in menopause and suffering from a couple of symptoms. No libido, no sleep, irritable, brain fog, dryness, I'm not the person i used to be in terms of happiness. I used to be happy for no reason, but since menopause I changed. I'm 51. Do you offer help for those symptoms? I want to be a lovely wife as i used to be. At this point I'm even considering taking Bio Identical hormones. Thank you in advance.                                                                                                    Drew: For almost 2 years I have had a pain behind my right eye. It started as a flare up after cutting grass one day. Most of the pain comes in the morning right before I get out of bed. It is a dull ache and sometimes leaves my eye crusty. I have seen two different eye doctors, my PCP, an ear nose and throat doctor, and a neuro ophthalmologist all of which can find nothing wrong. I have had a CT scan as well as an MRI which revealed nothing. Hoping you could shed some light on next steps that I need to take or where I need to look. Thank you so much for all that you do.     AA: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am hoping that you might have some insight. In Oct. I got extremely sick ( maybe covid) with horrible respiratory issues high fever etc. every month since my period has been 3 weeks late and as of one month I cannot eat without pain. The worst symptom is no sleep because of abdominal cramping and severe full body chills ( tingling) the tingling happens all day but is more apparent after ingesting food. I have taken stool tests/blood tests which seemed normal except for low b12 (300/ml) and went for a colonoscopy ( which resulted in the doc. saying I had some inflammation at the bottom end of my colon and it could be ulcerative colitis but didn't say with certainty. ) I am at a loss its been three weeks without caffeine, sugar, wheat, dairy and the symptoms persist.                                                                 Kay: Hello Dr. Cabral- I really appreciate your very informative podcasts! I am taking pregnenolone capsules at night recommended by my physician to help make some of the hormones that decline with age, and also to enhance cognitive function.. I have 2 questions: 1) Should I discontinue this prior to taking my at-home Equilife Stress, Mood and Metabolism test, and if so, by how many days? 2) Is taking this supplement going to make my body "lazy" and produce less of my natural pregnenolone? I've noticed that this helps me sleep better at night- I take this and a very low dose of naltrexone compounded by a compounding pharmacy. I am hoping that the SM&M test will give me clues to rebalancing my hormones naturally so I do not always need to rely on exogenous (and expensive) compounds.

What diseases or conditions are you most worried about getting as you age?  I can tell you what you should be most worried about, based on statistics (which is metabolic dysfunction, such as prediabetes and cardiovascular disease, such as high blood pressure and damaged blood vessel linings), but if you're like most women I've talked to, you'd probably say you're most scared of getting cancer, Alzheimer's and living in chronic pain.  But did you know that there's a TON you can do to tip the odds in favor of not getting those 3 conditions?  Most of what most people think they know about these 3 conditions is wrong.  Which is great, because when you know better, you can do more to create the future you want for yourself.Free list of alternative Cancer Therapy Books: https://www.healthcouragecollective.com/lead-gen-funnel-opt-in-3189-1897-8755connect with me: healthcouragecollective@gmail.com & www.healthcouragecollective.comGet $10 off glasses: $10 off EYE BUY DIRECT: https://www.eyebuydirect.com/referral/1615995 Take my udemy course: https://www.udemy.com/course/draft/5505730/?referralCode=C418EDF9C393C5716D9E

The Truth About Hormones: How Misinformation Stole Women's Health & The Science That Can Restore It"

Why do some women thrive during perimenopause while others struggle with anxiety, insomnia, or weight gain? How do estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone impact your energy, mood, and overall health? And what's the difference between synthetic, bioidentical, and compounded hormone treatments?In this episode of The Courage To Be™,Dr. Anna Garrett, a hormone health expert and pharmacist, explains what every woman should know about perimenopause, menopause, and hormone therapy. She breaks down how hormone levels fluctuate, why testing is key, and which treatment options—like estrogen patches, progesterone creams, and testosterone therapy—might work best for different symptoms. She also shares a surprising anecdote about how women often don't rub progesterone cream long enough, leading to fat tissue buildup and unwanted side effects—an important lesson for anyone using over-the-counter treatments.Dr. Garrett addresses common concerns, including the connection between hormones and bone health, libido, and weight gain, and why personalized care is essential. If you've ever felt confused about hormone therapy or frustrated by mixed messages in healthcare, this episode will help you make informed choices.Note: If you're looking for episodes on Think and Grow Rich and how it has transformed lives, look for an asterisk (*) before the title.

In this episode of The Next Level, I sit down with Dr. Erika Schwartz to dive deep into bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT)—what it is, why it matters, and why so many general physicians are hesitant to address hormone imbalances. Dr. Schwartz is the founder of Evolved Science, a world-renowned medical practice in New York City, built on the principle that balancing hormones is the foundation for better health. From there, her practice focuses on optimization, longevity, disease prevention, and patient advocacy to help people live their best lives. We break down some of the biggest misconceptions about hormone therapy, why traditional medicine tends to resist it, and what you need to know if you're considering BHRT for yourself. Dr. Schwartz also shares her insights on the negative effects of alcohol, including its well-documented links to cancer risk and overall health decline. This is a must-listen if you've ever felt dismissed by a doctor when asking about your hormones or if you're curious about how to optimize your health through a proactive, science-based approach.

If you want to dive deeper, you'll find links to the full episodes in the show notes below. In the early 1900's estrogen hormone replacement was the most prescribed medication in America! It remained in first or second place for the rest of the century. Until 2002 when the media got a hold of the results of the Women's Health Initiative study. Doctors around the world were warned not prescribe it and women were told that it was dangerous and shouldn't be on it. But since that time there has been a reanalysis of the study with a much different outcome then was first perceived. Yet we as women and our doctors have heard very little if anything about the benefits and safety of hormone replacement. In this episode: what the WHI study found in their trials the reanalysis of the study and what it really showed HRT versus BHRT a deep dive into the multiply studies done on HRT and BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy) can BHRT help with weight loss? does hormone replacement cause breast cancer? and much more!
