In this episode, Dr. Shawn Tassone examines a paradigm-shifting study from the Journal of the North American Menopause Society that demolishes decades of unfounded hysteria surrounding hormone replacement therapy for women over 65. The research reveals that HRT—specifically estrogen therapy—administered beyond age 65 correlates with significant risk reductions across multiple disease categories: mortality, breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, congestive heart failure, venous thromboembolism, atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, and dementia. The findings underscore the critical importance of precision medicine approaches utilizing individualized protocols, lower dosing strategies, and non-oral delivery methods for optimal clinical outcomes. Episode Highlights The NAMS study that's rewriting the hormone therapy playbook for women over 65 Quantifiable risk reductions across nine major disease categories, including the holy grail of mortality reduction Why the data on breast cancer, lung cancer, and colorectal cancer risk reduction should make us question everything we thought we knew The cardiovascular benefits that contradict decades of clinical paranoia: reduced congestive heart failure, venous thromboembolism, atrial fibrillation, and heart attacks Dementia risk reduction—because apparently estrogen is neuroprotective, not neurotoxic The vindication of individualized hormone therapy protocols using lower doses and transdermal delivery Estrogen monotherapy combined with progesterone: the life-extending intervention hiding in plain sight How this research obliterates the arbitrary age-based cutoffs that have dominated clinical practice Why your patients over 65 deserve a risk-benefit analysis based on actual science, not medical mythology The clinical implications for practitioners ready to abandon fear-based prescribing in favor of evidence-based care Episode Resources Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | https://www.drshawntassone.com Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormone Archetype Quiz Thank you to our sponsor, Purality Health!

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, we welcome Dr. Katie Lee, a trailblazing dentist, visionary entrepreneur, and author of "Saved by the Mouth." Dr. Lee is on a mission to reframe how we think about oral health—not as an isolated part of the body, but as a foundational element of systemic and especially female health. Dr. Lee's journey began at just 14 years old when a traumatic ATV accident forever changed her life. After enduring nine surgeries and dental implants, she learned firsthand the profound impact a healthy smile can have on a person's physical, emotional, and mental health. That experience sparked a calling to become the best dentist she could be—not just to treat teeth, but to heal the whole person. As the founder of The Collective Health Society, a groundbreaking fully integrated functional dental and medical center, Dr. Lee is at the forefront of oral-systemic health. She also serves as the Chief Clinical Advisor for the Dental Innovation Alliance and contributes to groundbreaking space health research with NASA, helping protect astronauts' oral microbiomes during space travel. In this episode, Dr. Lee unpacks the critical but overlooked links between oral health, fertility, and women's overall wellness. She challenges the outdated research models that treat women as "small men" and calls for a more holistic, ecosystem-based approach to women's health. What You'll Learn in This Episode:

“Your normal is different than everybody else's.” There's so much misinformation out there about hormones. The misunderstanding of the Women's Health Initiative findings did massive damage to women's health. It basically ruined an entire generation of physicians who now buy into the false narrative on the dangers of hormone replacement. Today I'm doing a review episode all about my book, The Hormone Balance Bible. I wrote the book not for you to read from cover to cover but so that you can look at the relevant sections as you go through certain stages of your life. In The Hormone Balance Bible, I break down the 12 hormonal archetypes and what to do to start the healing journey for each one.  For this episode,  I'm talking about how you can start figuring out which archetype you are, the characteristics of each type, symptoms you might be noticing, the kinds of women I see in my practice for each archetype, and more. Enjoy the episode!   Highlights The concept and creation of the Hormone Balance Bible How I came up with the twelve hormonal archetypes Why it was important to me to include processes with which women could heal themselves Archetype #1: The Queen - Estrogen Dominance Archetype #2: The Unbalanced Heroine - Progesterone Deficiency Archetype #3: The Mother - High Estrogen, Low Progesterone Archetype #4: The Wise Woman - Menopause Archetype #5: The Workaholic - Excess Cortisol Archetype #6: The Saboteur - Low Cortisol Archetype #7: The Nun - Low Testosterone Archetype #8: The Warrior - High Testosterone Archetype #9: The Underdog - Hypothyroidism/Subclinical Hypothyroidism Archetype #10: The Overachiever - Hyperthyroidism Archetype #11: The Chairwoman - Estrogen Dominance + Excess Cortisol Archetype #12: The Philosopher The medical system's poor treatment of menopausal women Episode Resources: Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | https://www.drshawntassone.com Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormone Archetype Quiz Thank you to our sponsor, Purality Health!

Do you have heavy periods, feel bloated, have headaches, bad PMS, or struggle with infertility and/or fibroids? Have you ever considered that these symptoms—and many more—could be related to a hormone imbalance? Estrogen dominance is one of the most commonly misunderstood hormone issues. In this episode, we take a deep dive into what estrogen dominance actually means. We explore the critical role of your liver and gut in estrogen detoxification and how dysfunction in these systems can lead to symptoms like heavy periods, breast tenderness, anxiety, fatigue, and stubborn weight gain. You'll learn how your liver goes through a two-phase detox process to neutralize estrogen, and how the gut's microbiome—including the estrobolome—can either help or hinder that elimination process. We also unpack a lesser-known but powerful enzyme called beta-glucuronidase, which can cause estrogen that was supposed to be excreted to be reabsorbed back into the body—essentially recycling hormones and contributing to estrogen dominance. This often happens when gut health is compromised due to dysbiosis, constipation, or poor diet. Whether you're in your reproductive years, navigating perimenopause, this episode will help you better understand the physiology behind estrogen dominance and how to begin addressing it at the root.

Today we're diving into how to source peptides safely.  We'll talk about why where you live matters, how to find a reputable provider, and the red flags to watch out for. So if you've been curious about peptides but unsure where to start, this podcast is for you.  Why Peptides? And Why You Need to Be Cautious So first, what are peptides? In short, they're short chains of amino acids—basically, the building blocks of proteins—that signal your body to perform specific actions. Some stimulate growth hormone, others help with weight loss, repair tissue, or improve cognition. Sounds amazing, right? And they can be. But, only when used safely and under the guidance of a qualified provider. Peptides aren't regulated the way pharmaceuticals are, so it's incredibly easy to run into unlicensed sources, impure peptides, or outright scams. Why Where You Live Matters Let's talk geography for a minute. Depending on where you live—whether that's in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, or Europe and other parts of the world—the legal status and availability of peptides vary widely. In the U.S., many peptides are still considered “research chemicals,” meaning they can be sold online but not legally for human use unless prescribed by a licensed provider working with a compounding pharmacy regulated by the FDA. In Canada, peptides are more restricted, and access may require going through clinical trials or specific wellness clinics. Interestingly, in parts of Europe, peptides like BPC-157 have been in clinical use since the 1990s, as it was originally developed and researched in Croatia. So what's the takeaway? The laws in your region affect what's legal, what's safe, and what kind of provider you should be working with. That's why it's important to find someone who not only understands peptide therapy but also works within your country's regulatory framework. How to Find a Reputable Peptide Therapy Provider So now you're wondering: Okay, then who DO I trust? Great question. Let's go over some things you should look for when wanting to start a particular peptide therapy. Credentials Your provider should be a licensed clinician—an MD, DO, PharmD, PA, or NP—with specific training in peptide therapy, functional, or regenerative medicine. Bonus points if they're certified by organizations like SSRP (Seeds Scientific Research & Performance), the A4M (American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine), or IFM  (Institute for Functional Medicine). Provider Works with Licensed Compounding Pharmacies or Peptide Manufacturers Avoid providers who suggest buying your peptides online or mixing them at home. Thorough Evaluation Process Prior to Treatment The first and most critical step in a full medical workup is gathering a comprehensive medical history. This includes a detailed review of your personal health background—such as any chronic conditions, previous illnesses, surgeries, or hospitalizations—as well as your current medications and supplements. Your provider will also explore your family medical history to identify any contraindications to peptide therapy. Laboratory testing may be obtained if clinically indicated depending on the particular peptide therapy and based on your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. Another key component of a full medical workup is the functional assessment, which goes beyond lab numbers to evaluate how your body is actually performing day to day.  This includes an in-depth discussion of your sleep quality, energy levels, cognitive function, mood, libido, and overall sense of well-being. Your provider may also ask about your ability to recover from exercise, your stress resilience, and whether you're experiencing symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, or low motivation. For those seeking peptide therapy for performance or longevity, this assessment helps establish baseline functioning and goals, so treatment can be tailored not just to correct deficiencies, but to optimize quality of life and daily performance. Follow-up Care and Dosing Guidance Peptides aren't one-size-fits-all. You need personalized dosing, cycle recommendations, peptide stacking, and monitoring. If you're not getting that, you're not being cared for safely. Red Flags  “For research only” Let's get real and talk about some red flags you may come across when doing your research. The internet is full of what I like to call “peptide pirates.” These are websites that sell cheap peptides labeled “for research only.” They might even look legit, but here's the thing, there's no regulation, no guarantee of purity or potency, and no support during your peptide therapy journey. Low cost and hidden fees Keep in mind that peptides are often expensive due to several factors. They require complex, specialized manufacturing processes, which include synthesis and purification to ensure quality and purity. Additionally, high-quality peptides are typically produced in small batches by licensed compounding pharmacies or peptide manufacturers, which increases costs. The research and development and regulatory compliance required to ensure their safety and efficacy also contribute to the higher price point.  If the prices from online peptide providers/clinics seem unusually low or too good to be true, there's a high likelihood that the products are either compromised, unregulated, or not what they claim to be. And while we're on the topic of cost, I shouldn't forget to mention hidden fees. You know, the sneaky little charges that pop up after you've been lured in by the words “free consultation.” When you book that initial appointment thinking, “Okay, great. I'll get expert advice, ask a few questions, and figure out if peptide therapy is right for me.” But then what happens? What if you've got more questions after the appointment—maybe you're dealing with side effects, started a new medication and want to be sure there aren't any interactions, or your symptoms have shifted and you're thinking about adjusting your dosage. And just like that, your “free” consultation suddenly comes with a consult price tag. I've personally seen clinics charge $50 just to email a follow-up question or do a “dosage review”. And don't get me started on the “lab interpretation fees.” You either pay for your bloodwork or labs are included, but then they charge you again just to tell you what your results mean.  Cold-chain And lastly, let's not forget that peptides are delicate compounds that require specific storage conditions. Certain peptide providers may not store or ship peptides correctly, affecting their potency and stability. As a general rule, for long-term storage, peptides should be kept frozen in their lyophilized (powder) form to preserve stability. Once reconstituted, most peptides should be stored in the refrigerator and used within the recommended timeframe, typically 2–8 weeks depending on the peptide and diluents used. It's important to avoid repeatedly freezing and thawing, as this can degrade the peptide structure and reduce its effectiveness.  Recap Do your homework. Research providers in your area. Look for peptide clinics or functional or integrative clinics with peptide experience. Ask smart questions. Where do they source peptides? Are the peptides made in a cGMP, FDA-registered facility? What's their follow-up protocol? How do they store and ship their peptides? Trust your gut—and the science. If something feels off, it probably is. Safe peptide therapy is always grounded in evidence and ethical practice. Your health isn't something to gamble with. Peptides can be powerful tools—but only from a trusted source and with guidance.

In this episode of The Hormone Genius, we sit down with Haley Yeager to explore a topic every woman deserves to understand—how charting your cycle can be a life-changing tool for health, healing, and wholeness. Contrary to popular belief, menstrual cycle charting isn't just for family planning. It's one of the most powerful insights a woman can have into her overall health. A well-charted cycle acts like a monthly report card, revealing signs of hormonal imbalances, fertility struggles, or conditions like PCOS and endometriosis. It's not just about reproduction—it's about connection with your body. We also discuss the widespread use of hormonal birth control as a catch-all solution for reproductive concerns. While the pill may manage symptoms, it often masks the real issue, delaying diagnosis and treatment. True healing begins with understanding what's actually happening in the body—and that starts with cycle awareness. Haley shares her own powerful journey. At 16, she was prescribed the pill to manage irregular periods but quickly experienced intense side effects. Unsatisfied with masking symptoms, she turned to cycle charting and, through the help of a knowledgeable OBGYN, was diagnosed with PCOS. This shift allowed her to manage her health naturally—and ultimately led to the conception of her three beautiful children.

While some of us knew a good bit about mRNA prior to 2020, we all got a crash course on mRNA technology and its prophylactic and therapeutic potential as a result of the COVID pandemic and subsequent SARS CoV-2 vaccine development. In fact, most of us have now received at least one mRNA vaccine at this point. Our guest for this episode, Dr. Christian Cobaugh, Co-founder and CEO of Vernal Biosciences, was a passionate believer in mRNA medicines well before the pandemic. Join us to hear his story and his passion for this technology. He walks us through the molecular methods by which high-purity mRNAs are now made and purified, as well as going into the lipid nanoparticle technology by which they're commonly delivered. As a contract development and manufacturing provider, we get to learn about the state of the market and what clients of their care about today. As a seasoned expert in this space, Christian talks about the future potential of mRNA technology for applications such as personalized cancer vaccines.

In this week's episode Karen is joined by Jaclyn Bellomo, a cosmetic industry professional with over a decade of experience in regulatory compliance. In the USA, up until now, the FDA has managed and maintained all fragrance industry regulations. However, the biggest overhaul in these regulations is about to occur with the introduction of  MOCRA. But these new regulations don't just impact companies selling from the USA, but also companies selling into the USA. So, what is MOCRA, why is it being implemented and what does it mean to you? Find out on this week's show KEY TAKEAWAYS An overhaul like this does not happen without a great need for it. Jaclyn breaks down where the gaps are in the current FDA regulations and how MOCRA will fill these in.  One of the major changes that will come with MOCRA is how the ‘responsible person' protocol works. Jaclyn explains the new system and how it will apply to companies based both in and out of the US. Jaclyn addresses the most significant changes to the new MOCRA system, adverse events. With examples, she breaks down what adverse events are and how these changes will affect you.  Safety substantiation is another aspect that will be given a complete overall with MOCRA, Jaclyn provides an in-depth overview of what the new system will look like. BEST MOMENTS  “It's always a good idea to get feedback from your customers, but even more so now as you can use this feedback for evidence.” “If you don't comply with MOCRA, there are real world consequences.” “If you have a small artisan brand, working from home, one of the new requirements is that you have a learning period.”   EPISODE LINKS www.registrarcorp.com  KarenGilbert15 – code for your listeners to use to get 15% off our services Jaclyns E-mail  VALUABLE RESOURCES Getting Started Guide Artisan Perfumery Mastermind   ABOUT THE GUEST Jaclyn Bellomo is a cosmetic industry professional with over a decade of experience in technical formulation, regulatory compliance, product development, and brand management.

Guang Qu, Co-Founder of NGGT Corporation is focused on developing gene therapy products using dual functional vector strategies. Guang highlights the importance of distinguishing between recessive and dominant mutations in rare diseases and explains how their approach differs from other gene therapy approaches. The two leading indications caused by a gene mutation that NGGT is working on are Bietti's Crystalline Dystrophy (BCD), a rare ocular disease, and phenylketonuria (PKU), a metabolic disease.   Guang explains, "For our strategies and our product development strategies, I think we are leveraging our experience in the gene therapy field. Later, I will talk more about myself, Dr. Lixin Jiang, and our team. The other thing we are leveraging is our fully integrated team in gene therapy product development, which involves R&D, research and development, CGMP manufacturers, from tox development and clinical regulatory functions and the medical teams. So with all of the teams we built up in the last couple of years, we're in very good positions in developing our gene therapy products." "So, of the two currently leading indications, one is involved in ocular disease, what we call the BCD, Bietti's Crystalline Dystrophy. This disease is caused by a gene mutation. The gene mutation causes lipid metabolic problems. The particular gene is called the CYP4V2 gene. The mutation directly leads to the lipid metabolic process being interrupted. Therefore, lipids are precipitated in the different ocular cells, such as the cornea and the retina. That's most of the disease cell layers affected."  #AAV #GeneEditing #GeneTherapy #PKU #BCD Download the transcript here

A young client is comatose after a series of ischemic strokes. They have frequent painful episodes of paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity, during which their muscles become spastic and their heart rate and blood pressure rise. Their palliative care team wonders if massage therapy might help the contractures of their limbs, and the massage therapist is willing to try . . . but the results are unexpected.   Resources:   Neurostorming: Causes, Signs, Risks, and Treatment (2022) NewGait.

And I am not your typical massage therapist. After 20 years of experience and thousands of clients, I have learned that massage therapy is SO MUCH more than a relaxing experience at a spa. I see soft tissue as more than merely a physical element but a deeply complex, neurologically driven part of who you are. I use this knowledge to work WITH you—not ON you—to create change that works. This is the basis of my approach. As a massage therapist, I have worked in almost every capacity, including massage clinics, physical therapy clinics, chiropractor offices, spas, private practice, and teaching. I have learned incredible techniques and strategies from each of my experiences. In my 20 years as a massage therapist, I have never stopped growing. I currently have a private practice based out of Long Beach, California, where I also teach continuing education classes and occasionally work on my kids.
