We talk a lot about how hormones and the gut are very interconnected and in this episode, I take a deeper dive into how the changes in estrogen and progesterone in midlife impact our microbiome diversity, the integrity of our gut lining and more. And it's a mess (much like midlife) in that hormone shifts impact the microbiome and microbiome shifts impact hormones. But the good news is that gut health is an area where you can intervene and have big impacts in how you feel and your overall health.    Stay tuned for the next episode as well where I will be answering questions on hormones and digestion taken from my Facebook group!  Stuff I Know You Will Love NAD levels start to decline by up to 65% between ages 30 and 70 and this can lead to more signs of aging, less energy and worse recovery.

There is truth in both of these approaches and in this episode I talk about how to utilize them both with a better understanding of when you need more grace and when you need more grit.

Dr. Sara Naseri joins me on this episode to talk about the exciting, at home, affordable, easy to use, hemoglobin A1C testing her company QVin had developed that utilizes menstrual blood. Throughout this episode I just kept saying: why weren't we always doing this??!! But the wait is over as QVin can send an FDA approved, CLIA certified and easy to collect test right to your door. H1C is a test we all need and may get pushback from our providers or our insurance about routinely checking it so it's win, win, win, win and has some exciting prospects for future testing on other hormones and possibly even screening for conditions like endometriosis.  Episodes referenced in this show: Dr Brooke Show #398 Making Sense of Blood Sugar Testing: Hemoglobin A1C, Glycomark, CGMs and More   Stuff I Know You Will Love   If you are looking for an expert prescriber for HRT during your perimenopause or menopause journey but are at odds with your local provider being a bit behind current best practices or you simply can't find anyone near you to help, Join MIDI!

  Should ovarian health be considered a marker of longevity? Yes. Our ovarian production of adequate hormones impacts us on a daily basis including effects on cognition, energy, mood, sleep and metabolism. When our production of these hormones are low  we can deal with cyclical symptoms and PMS, infertility and a more difficult struggle into perimenopause and beyond. In this episode I talk about the biggest impacts I see in my practice on our ovarian health and what we can do to improve our sex hormone output and balance whether you want to feel better, get pregnant or just optimize your health overall.

In this episode I talk about the hormonal changes postpartum that can lead to anxiety, depression and sadness and what to look out for, when to get help and simple suggestions for nutrition, exercise and supplements that can help.

Our soil is depleted, our life is depleting and many of us are dealing with some sort of chronic issue, making extra support something to think about. On the flipside, many are dealing with supplement fatigue and it's worth talking about if a multi is worth it at this stage in your health and healing. As well, some women's multis are severely lacking in what women need yet others are full of things you do not need. In this episode I talk about what to look for in a multi that that suits your hormones and health goals.   In this show I talk about my women's multi that includes optimal doses of what women need for blood sugar balance, better energy, brain health, optimal aging and hormone balance. I put my balanced+beautiful multi on sale this weekend only with code BEAUTIFUL15 at checkout.    Stuff I Know You Will Love   If you are looking for an expert prescriber for HRT during your perimenopause or menopause journey but are at odds with your local provider being a bit behind current best practices or you simply can't find anyone near you to help, Join MIDI!

I see it every day posted on social media as people crowd source for solutions or I'm asked on a call with a patient: should I take X for my Y? They've heard it's good for hair loss, weight loss, hot flashes, brain health, energy, etc. so they are wondering if it will work for them, makes sense right?    In this episode I talk about why we need to know why. We need to know WHY our hair is falling out or we are tired in order to choose supplements, protocols and procedures that might help. Most of the time, if a supplement isn't effective it's also likely harmless but it can be a waste of time and money to be taking things that don't address your why. Other times a particular supplement is the absolute wrong thing for your why, yet you have no idea. Still other times you have a clear why for your symptoms based on testing or working with a provider but in the sea of products you're unsure which one is best for you. I cover the most common supplement questions about hormones, thyroid, hair loss, energy, etc. that I see online or hear in my office on this episode to help you sift through the noise out there.   Products mentioned in this episode:   Essential Amino Acid blend for better energy, building muscles and more save 15% with this link www.getkion.com/bettereveryday.   balance+protect comprehensive nutrient and herbal support for both estrogen and progesterone    clear+normalize nutrient and herbal formula to balance androgen metabolism  Stuff I Know You Will Love Give your body the support it needs to repair and recover everything from joints to skin and hair to your gut lining with Organifi's Multi Collagen.

It's generally a scoop added to their morning coffee or post-workout shake in hopes of better joints, healthier hair and glowing skin. Most women aren't aware however that joints need different collagen support than our hair so it's important we know why we want to take collagen and then to be sure our supplement is doing just that. In this episode I talk about the difference between collagen and collagen peptides, what type of collagen is needed for hair vs. joints and how you can dose your collagen to get the results you're after.   Products I mentioned in the episode are: KION Essential Amino Acid Complex for workout recovery GetKion.com/BETTTEREVERYDAY 15% off NEEDED Collagen Peptides for types I and III collagen support save 20% with code BETTEREVERYDAY at checkout www.thisisneeded.com.  GLOW Collagen Support with bamboo silica, natural vitamin C and Tremella Mushroom (5X times more hydrating than hyaluronic acid).

You're seeing ads pop all over your phone and social media feeds for “natural ozempic”. Supplements that are said to work just like GLP-1 agonist medications, but is this true?

I cover how these compounds work, how they impact GLP-1 and if the data holds up on these claims that they are the same as medications like Ozempic.   In this show I reference a couple of past episode of the Dr Brooke Show: Dr Brooke Show #373 Akkermansia: Hope or Hype   Dr Brooke Show #341 All About GLP-1 Meds As well, here are the products mentioned as well that I use in my practice:    Butryate product: Enterovite GLP-1 Probiotic Blend   Stuff I Know You Will Love   If you are looking for an expert prescriber for HRT during your perimenopause or menopause journey but are at odds with your local provider being a bit behind current best practices or you simply can't find anyone near you to help, Join MIDI!

I cover the lab testing that you would get from your doctor: fasting glucose and Hemoglobin A1C as the most common ones, as well as Fructosamine and Glycomark. As well testing you might not be getting that you could easily request such as fasting insulin or C-Peptide. And there is testing you likely have like LDH that you didn't know was related to blood sugar levels. Lastly, how does at home monitoring play in for you in terms of using a glucometer or a CGM (continuous glucose monitor).   Which test is best? I cover what these tests tell you, why it's key to know what you're looking for, what might be covered by insurance and where you fall on the blood sugar problem spectrum: looking for optimal health and prevention vs. prediabetic or overt insulin resistance.    And the newer question we need to be asking: is it just high blood sugar we need to worry about or is glucose variability where it's at?    Episodes and links referenced in the show that may be helpful:   Get yourself a CGM with my fav app Nutrisense and save $50!   Article I wrote on Do You Need A CGM?   Interview with Carlee Hayes from Nutrisense on using a CGM.    Be sure you connect with me in my FREE PRIVATE Facebook group: Hormones & Happiness with Dr Brooke where other amazing, like minded women like YOU are already hanging out!

I've generally only considered taking exogenous ketones to support a ketogenic diet for those days when ketones and thus energy was low. However, what we now know is that exogenous ketones are very powerful and have utlilty beyond supplementing a keto diet. Ketones like those found in KetoneIQ can be used for better mental clarity and focus, more energy and better workout stamina and recovery - and all of those benefits can be harnessed without being on a keto diet.

Recently, I had that experience we're all looking for: the satisfaction of seeing that hard work we put in on ourselves show up in a very real way in my life. I have explained the 5 Different Stress Responses in an episode from spring 2023 and last week in spring of 2024 I saw my understanding of this really kick into action - and it was brilliant! I saw my traumatic stress response of fawning in full force play out before my eyes and because of knowing these various types of stress responses and what triggers them I was able to not go too far down that road, resolve the stress in my body and make a better choice with my stress response. A choice that left me more empowered, able to be more gentle on myself and move forward in a productive way - and you can learn this too! Understanding these various stress responses is key in making cha+nge to how stress impacts us and this goes far beyond traditional ideas of “stress management” - these are stress skills. Skills that will actually change how you respond to and experience stress - and that helps all of your hormones!

As well, if you compare various products there are a variety of ingredients and you might be wondering which are the most effective. I wanted to invite Dr. Gregory Kelly, ND from Neurohacker Collective on the show to take a deep dive into how boosting NAD levels is helpful for us in healing and aging as well as to really look at these supplements and understand how ingredients like NMN, NR and vitamin B3 perform in these NAD boosting supplements. We covered how well these absorbed, when to consider dosing these nutrients, what to look for in your NAD boosting products and how to know if taking them translates to you feeling and aging better. It was a great discussion! Neurohacker is a long time partner of the Dr. Brooke Show so of course I also wanted Dr. Kelly to take an in depth look at their NAD+ product (the one I take!) that he helped formulate so we covered this formula as well!

You may have heard lately that it's not a “lower metabolism” that causes weight gain and more body fat around the middle during midlife. While this may be what research is showing us as not a mechanism, many of us have found our pants are indeed not fitting so great so what IS causing the weight gain? Is it hormone changes or slack habits? Is it something we need to take HRT to get on top of? What exactly will the popular fitness advice of eating enough protein and lifting weights really do for our mid-life bodies?

Encore Episode! This is a dicey subject for sure and I'm certain it will have a lot of you rethinking your supplement regimen. Iodine is most often used to improve thyroid or breast health but it's important to understand the whole story about how these recommendations came about and why more iodine can actually be bad for both.    Iodine is an essential nutrient that we absolutely need for thyroid function as well as other systems in our bodies, HOWEVER, it's a Golidlock's nutrient if there ever was one. When you look at how our bodies manage iodine and what our actual need for this unique trace mineral is you can see that we need to be a bit more careful with higher doses of iodine. This episode explains exactly why we need enough and not too much (and of course what the doses are that is just enough for general health, thyroid, pregnancy, etc.), what research shows us in terms of the fall out of too much iodine (hint: oxidative stress, thyroid problems and a rise in autoimmunity) and when to consider lowering iodine intake to see if your thyroid and breast health improves. I also cover how to assess and test for iodine status and some real problems with the rationale used by high iodine advocates in the health space.   Partners of the Dr. Brooke Show (Stuff I Know You Will Love!)   Many of us living a healthy, high protein grown-up lifestyle have not been able to enjoy cereal since we were little!

Women need so much support during the time from thinking about getting pregnant all the way to having little ones and so often they are left with options that don't address their needs (prenatals that have nutrients in the wrong forms or that they can't take due to nausea) or they are left with low energy, anxiety or even colds/flus while they are pregnant or nursing because there aren't natural products that are considered safe during these times.

If you choose to indulge, one dose of ZBiotics before drinking any alcohol can make you feel way less yucky the next day! Cool…but how? The yuck the day after having alcohol is due to a buildup of acetaldehyde (a byproduct of alcohol metabolism).

Zack is a wealth of knowledge about the microbiome as well as how to “teach” a favorable, safe bacteria that's already in our gut how to metabolize a breakdown product of alcohol through genetic modification. It sounds like science fiction -  and it sounds scary. I mean GMO right?? But it turns out how bacteria are modified is very different than modifying plants in our food source for a couple of reasons making this FDA regulated product very safe and without immune or inflammatory consequences that could come from changing the food we eat (i.e. GMO soy or hybridized wheat).   And this product is very effective! I share with Zack in the interview how skeptical I was of ZBiotic having any effect on how I felt the next day after having a glass of wine. Truth be told it was like it never happened. So I was thrilled to have Zack on the show to talk about how this product works and how they created it.    Learn more about Zach and Zbiotics here.   To work with Dr Brooke click here and if you loved this episode please leave a review!     Follow Dr Brooke on Instagram and get signed up for my awesome emails here.

That's my system for the four things we need to have covered with our training program as women. This system becomes more important with every passing year - and for a variety of reasons, it can be harder and harder to do! It may be finding the time, lack of know-how or fear of injury, waning motivation or simply not understanding the benefits these four aspects give us.  I cover all of that in this episode including how to know if your weighs are “heavy enough” and a phased approach to incorporating plyometrics - and how that move in particular can really enhance our livelihood as we age. It's all about power and agility and we need that more and more yet many of us are lacking this aspect from our training.

It helps you effortlessly understand what foods work for you and even how stress and sleep impact your blood sugar allowing you to make changes in real time. A CGM also allows you to see your glucose variability (the difference between your highs and lows) which may be as important as how high your blood sugar runs. It's an amazing tool and Nutrisense has my favorite interface with their app and dietitian support!

Strength training is ALWAYS a part of the treatment plan in my office but if you aren't working with me directly it can be hard to find the right person to be your coach and trainer and let's be real, personal training is traditionally quite expensive. Maybe you've explored a program online but it feels so cookie cutter or you don't want to be on a zoom class and honestly, online training has a lot of drawbacks compared to working with someone one on one.    Until now, I didn't have a lot of great solutions - especially if you are new to lifting - which is why I was so thrilled to find the CoPilot App. First, it's not just an app because you are actually working with a real, life person and the tech that allows them to interact with you as they would in real life is kinda amazing. And it's very affordable!   I am so happy to have one of the creators of CoPilot, Matt Spettel on the show to share how and why they created this program AND my own coach/trainer, Kathryn! You'll hear from both of them about what it's like to work with the CoPilot app and coaches.    If you need someone to not only to program your training but also to motivate you to keep showing up? Or think you can't afford a personal trainer that will provide you smart workouts you can do at home or a gym? The solution is CoPilot.    Work with a real, live, certified personal trainer that will help you adjust your workouts for your hormones, your busy life and your goals right from your phone.
