„Nicht Cortisol ist das Problem - sondern die Art, wie wir mit Stress umgehen.“ Cortisol hat ein Imageproblem. Begriffe wie „Cortisol-Detox“ suggerieren, das Hormon sei per se schädlich. Biologisch ist das nicht haltbar. Ohne Cortisol könnten wir morgens nicht aufstehen, keinen stabilen Blutzucker halten und keine Energie mobilisieren. In dieser Folge HEALTH NERDS sprechen Podcast-Host Felix Moese und Gesundheitswissenschaftler Matthias Baum über die physiologische Rolle von Cortisol. Als Teil der Stressachse folgt es zeitversetzt auf Adrenalin und Noradrenalin. Es wirkt nicht nur als Stresshormon, sondern als Steuerhormon: mobilisiert Energie, beeinflusst Immunprozesse und strukturiert über die Cortisol-Awakening-Response unseren Tag. Problematisch wird nicht Cortisol selbst, sondern eine gestörte Regulation. Akuter Stress ist sinnvoll. Chronische Belastung hingegen bringt die HPA-Achse aus dem Takt. Der natürliche Tagesrhythmus verschiebt sich. Cortisol bleibt abends zu hoch oder reagiert bei anhaltender Belastung zu schwach. Energie wird dauerhaft mobilisiert, ohne verbraucht zu werden. Schlaf, Stoffwechsel und Regeneration geraten aus dem Gleichgewicht. Die entscheidende Frage lautet daher nicht: Wie senke ich Cortisol? Sondern: Wie reguliere ich mein Stresssystem? Ein stabiler Schlaf-Wach-Rhythmus, Licht am Morgen, Dunkelheit am Abend, regelmäßige Mahlzeiten und Bewegung als physiologische Antwort auf Stress bilden die Grundlage. Adaptogene wie Ashwagandha oder Rhodiola können unterstützen - ersetzen aber keine funktionierende Rhythmik. Wieso ist der Ruf von Cortisol so schlecht? Wann zeigt ein Tagesprofil echte Dysbalance? Und was bedeutet es, Stress biologisch sinnvoll zu beantworten? HEALTH NERDS. Mensch, einfach erklärt.

Anxiety often feels like it comes out of nowhere in midlife—especially during perimenopause and after menopause. You're doing “all the right things,” yet your nervous system feels constantly on edge. Racing thoughts. Poor sleep. A sense that something isn't right… but you can't quite name it.In this episode of Asking for a Friend, I'm joined by Dr. Lori Davis, licensed psychologist, clinical instructor at Weill Cornell Medicine, and author of the upcoming workbook This Is Your Anxiety on Menopause. Together, we unpack why anxiety often intensifies in midlife—and what women can actually do about it.Dr. Davis shares both the science and the lived experience behind anxiety, explaining how hormonal shifts, nervous system changes, sleep disruption, perfectionism, and decades of “pushing through” collide in this season of life. We also talk about why anxiety may feel different now than it did earlier in life—and why you are not broken.In this conversation, we cover:Why anxiety often spikes during perimenopause and menopauseWhether menopause causes anxiety or unmasks an existing vulnerabilityThe role of hormones, cortisol, sleep, and the nervous systemWhy worry loops and nighttime anxiety are so commonEvidence-based tools to calm anxiety (including breathing, exposure, and cognitive strategies)When therapy or medication may be helpful—and when lifestyle alone isn't enoughHow to stop fighting anxiety and start working with your nervous systemThis episode is grounding, practical, and deeply validating for women navigating midlife changes. If you've ever thought, “Why am I suddenly anxious when nothing is technically wrong?”—this conversation will help you connect the dots.

If you're not happy, it means something is wrong ... right?  Dr. Loretta Breuning is a PhD researcher & author. Since becoming unconvinced by prevailing theories on human behavior, she has researched everything from monkeys to the mafia. Now she's not only helping people hack their brain, she's shedding light on how the altruistic outlook may be popular, but ultimately damaging. In this episode, she explains WHY we believe that if we are unhappy something is wrong, how simply “getting back to nature” can backfire, the problem with happiness studies & (this is important) how to start your own happiness plan. This episode originally aired March 7, 2024. If you like this episode, you'll also like episode 275: IS AMBITION ANTI-HAPPINESS?

In this episode of the Female Health Solution Podcast, I'm breaking down something I see all the time with the women we work with: the cortisol and caffeine energy rollercoaster. If you feel like you need coffee or energy drinks just to function, crash hard in the afternoon, or plan your day around your next caffeine hit, this conversation is for you. I explain why this pattern is common but not normal, how cortisol actually drives these highs and lows, and why relying on caffeine keeps your body stuck in a stress response. We talk about what cortisol really does in the body, how it impacts blood sugar, energy, sleep, and mood, and what simple shifts can help you create smoother, more reliable energy throughout the day without feeling tethered to caffeine. If you're ready to get off the rollercoaster and support your energy in a way that actually works with your body, I invite you to join our Free 5 Day Revive. It's designed to help you feel strong, steady, and energized with simple, actionable steps you can start right away. Listen in and let's get your energy working for you again.

Hormones influence how we move, rest, recover, and show up on the mat, yet they're rarely discussed clearly in yoga spaces. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Manasa Rao to explore what yoga teachers need to understand about the hormonal body through both modern science and yogic wisdom. We talk about stress, rhythm, pranayama, women's hormonal cycles, and how yoga can support balance through listening and alignment without overstepping into medical advice.Episode Highlights:Are hormones a modern concept, or something yoga has always addressed through a different language?Hormones as internal messengers and their connection to yogic ideas of prana, ojas, tejas, and balance.How yoga works across the physical and subtle bodies to regulate internal harmony.The relationship between chakras, glands, and pranic flow, and where confusion often arises.Why hormonal balance is the body's natural state and how modern lifestyle disrupts rhythm.Cortisol, stress, and the importance of restoring rhythm rather than suppressing hormones.Pranayama as a key regulator of the hormonal and nervous systems.How to think about different pranayama practices, including ujjayi, with more discernment.Pratyahara as a lifestyle-based practice rooted in routine, rhythm, and sensory regulation.Understanding women's hormonal transitions, including menstruation, perimenopause, and menopause.Menopause reframed as a phase of reorganization and inward movement, not decline.How yogic practices can support different phases of the menstrual cycle.The importance of personalization and sensitivity when teaching hormonally affected students.Body-to-mind versus mind-to-body, and why dissolving that duality matters.The central takeaway: hormonal health comes from listening, alignment, and rhythm rather than fixing.Join our mailing listFind all the resources mentioned in this episodeConnect with us on InstagramSubscribe to Aham Yoga on YouTubeLet's Talk Yoga Podcast on YouTubeLeave us a review and share this podcast with your friends!

Is a mum's job ever done? That's the question that's come off the back of a viral moment from the Wuthering Heights press tour after its star Jacob Elordi was spotted doing something that has everyone talking. Monz, Stacey, and special guest Luca Lavigne debate whether this red carpet incident was a sweet moment for Jacob and his mum or... totally gross. Plus, Claire Danes just said the quiet part out loud about what's being touted as the very last parenting taboo. So, how would you feel about a surprise pregnancy at 44? The internet has its opinions — and so do our hosts. And, is a clear bench top the only thing standing between you and a cortisol spike? From 'CleanTok' to 'Sunday Reset', domestic drudgery on social media is undergoing a rebrand with a surprising cohort leading the charge. Our Recommendations:

In this compelling talk, @Joli.artist explores why modern life often feels like a constant state of siege and how we can consciously reverse the decay of our mental and physical health. Drawing from recent experiences with a digital detox, stoic philosophy, and ancestral history, Joli challenges the traditional "pursuit of happiness," arguing instead for the strategic eradication of the things that cause us pain.  From the biological impact of "heart spikes" and cortisol to the inherited generational trauma of survivors, Joli examines how our environments and relationships physically reshape our brains and bodies. She introduces a powerful perspective on the Second Law of Thermodynamics, suggesting that human conscious awareness is the only force capable of reversing "emotional entropy" and building order out of chaos.  •••Key Insights from this Talk:• The Biology of Attention: Joli discusses how constant attention-shifting on social media prevents the brain from forming the "deep, juicy grooves" required for memory and recall.  • The "One Strike" Pattern: She introduces a heuristic for identifying toxic dynamics early: if a disturbing behavior happens once, it is a pattern, and you are not obligated to wait years for it to worsen.  • Energetic Autonomy: Joli explores why being alone is often a healthier biological state than being in a "wrong" relationship that keeps the nervous system in a constant state of fight or flight.  • Mining Happiness: The talk describes the art of finding tangible, present moment joy like the color of hibiscus tea by becoming the organizing force in your own life.  • As Joli reminds us, nothing is life or death unless it is actually life or death. It is time to stop paying for problems with your time and health, and start prioritizing your peace.

DHEA was first identified in 1931 by Dr. Adolf Butenandt, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1939. Frequently called “the anti-aging hormone”, DHEA is a base for more than 50 hormones that are smaller or more specific carbon chain molecules in human biochemistry. As a precursor for all estrogenic and androgenic hormones, humans make DHEA naturally from birth.It's now well established that chronic stress leads to an out-pouring of cortisol and with that, a gradual depletion of DHEA. DHEA is a prohormone – a natural building block for hormones our bodies make.Over time, this hormonal imbalance can lead to brain fog, thinning bones, weight gain, low sex drive and poor Immune function.Maintaining proper DHEA levels in the body is important to your overall health and may lead to Increased energy, enhanced mood and focus, sound sleep, and better letting skin.Guest: Joining us today is Hugh Woodward, He is the President of Health2Go, Inc the makers of Twist 25 DHEA cream. Hugh is a subject matter expert on DHEA dedicating nearly 2 decades of his life studying the medical research about it, and starting a company to research, develop the safest most effective DHEA supplement that can be made and distributing it.In 2007 Mr. Woodward started Health2Go, Inc. to research and develop leading edge anti-aging and wellness products and bring them to people conveniently and cost effectively.Quality matters when supplementing with DHEA.Twist 25 DHEA Cream puts exactly what the body makes naturally – bioidentical DHEA -in the skin, where the body processes DHEA.  As a base building block for hormones, DHEA gives the body a key foundation it uses to make hormones, (especially the androgens our feel-good hormones.)Visit Twist25.com to learn more and order online.

HRT can be a game-changer. But if the foundation is shaky, it can't do its job. So before you change your hormone dose again, listen to this. There's a reason symptoms can persist, especially in perimenopause and menopause. In this episode of Medical Disruptors, I'm with Dr. Wendy Warner, former conventional OB-GYN turned functional and integrative powerhouse, because she's watching the same pattern on repeat. Women start hormone therapy while blood sugar is unstable. Cortisol is running the show. Inflammation is simmering. Thyroid issues get missed. And the environment is quietly pushing the whole system off course. Then three months later? Frustration. They blame the hormones. Or they chase higher and higher doses like that's the fix. We get into what most conversations skip: how stress can hijack progesterone signaling, why “hot flashes” can actually be blood sugar swings, and why obesity can shift estrogen dynamics. We also talk estrogen metabolism and methylation, especially if you've got a family history that makes you cautious. Then we pivot to bone health and the uncomfortable reality: osteoporosis isn't a calcium problem. It's a systems problem. If you want a smarter way to think about hormone replacement therapy,one that actually matches how biology works, this episode is for you. Want more practical health tips?

It asks us to remember. Yet most people don't cross into a new year feeling whole, clear, or renewed. They arrive depleted, disconnected and running on a nervous system that has forgotten what safety feels like. There’s a global disconnection crisis that’s rarely being talked about. That’s why reconnecting with self is emerging as the most radical—and necessary—act of our time. In this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast we’re discussing this plus answering some listener questions about the Holistic Wealth Retreat on the Holistic Wealth Trail. February is also Black History Month, a very special celebration of Black History. Resources Used in This Episode:Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated Book by Keisha Blair Holistic Wealth Retreat on the Holistic Wealth TrailHolistic Wealth Personal Workbook by Keisha Blair What is the Global Disconnection Crisis?We live in an era of unprecedented access, convenience, and information—yet human beings are more dysregulated than ever before. Consider this:77% of people globally report chronic stress that directly impacts their physical health60–90% of doctor visits are linked to stress-related conditionsChronic loneliness increases mortality risk by 26%, comparable to smoking nearly a pack of cigarettes a dayFewer than 10% of people experience sustained nervous-system calm on a regular basis. This means that 90% of people are in a sustained state of nervous system dysregulation. In other words, the majority of humanity is living in fight-or-flight as a baseline state.When people say, “I feel disconnected from myself,” what they are really saying is:“My nervous system has not felt safe enough to come home.”Reconnection is not indulgence. It is biological repair.

April is a very special time at the Holistic Wealth Retreat, as we celebrate Global Holistic Wealth Month and Global Holistic Wealth Day on April 9th. Private Chef Services and Healing Healing does not happen in isolation from nourishment. Private chef services at the Holistic Wealth Retreat are available by request and are designed around:Blood sugar stabilityAnti-inflammatory principlesCultural nourishmentFood is not treated as fuel alone, but as memory, medicine, and healing. This matters, because regulation does not come from discipline. It comes from feeling cared for.Why This Is HistoryThe Holistic Wealth Retreat is not an isolated destination. It is part of something larger. The Holistic Wealth Trail represents the very first known retreat-based ecosystem intentionally designed to integrate rest, place, legacy, and long-term human wealth—not just financial wealth. Its the first of its kind and longest Holistic Trail in Jamaica and the world and spans the Island. To date:The Holistic Wealth movement has reached over 300 million people globallyIts frameworks have been referenced in international media, academic discussions, and policy conversationsPhysical spaces now exist where people can experience what was once only conceptualHistory rarely announces itself loudly at the beginning. It starts quietly, with intention, long before the world catches up.The Mission: 1 Billion With Holistic WealthThe mission is simple—and ambitious to reach 1 billion people with Holistic Wealth.Not through hustle culture. Not through burnout disguised as success. Not through systems that extract more than they give but through a redefinition of wealth itself—one that includes:Nervous-system healthEnvironmental safetyTime abundanceLegacy and intergenerational repairHolistic Wealth asks a different question than the world has been asking:What if success didn't cost us our bodies, our peace, or our humanity?The InvitationIf this new year feels different— If you feel less interested in becoming more and more interested in belonging to yourself again—that is not regression.It is wisdom. Reconnection is not a retreat from life. It is a return to it. And this return—to self, to place, to wholeness—is how history quietly changes.  What You Will Learn Why the New Year Is the Most Fragile Time of AllThe first quarter of the New Year from January to March is often framed as a season of acceleration—goals, resolutions, productivity, but physiologically, the new year is one of the most vulnerable times for the human body:Cortisol levels spike after prolonged holiday stressBlood sugar instability increasesInflammation markers riseEmotional processing catches up after months of suppressionThis is why so many people feel unmotivated, foggy, or emotionally raw in the early months of the year.The body is not asking for more productivity hacks and optimization. It is asking for re-anchoring.

The post Why Reconnecting to Self Is the Most Radical Act of The New Year + The Holistic Wealth Retreat  appeared first on Holistic Wealth Courses.

The new year doesn't arrive asking us to become more. It asks us to remember. Yet most people don't cross into a new year feeling whole, clear, or renewed. They arrive depleted, disconnected and running on a nervous system that has forgotten what safety feels like. There's a global disconnection crisis that's rarely being talked about. That's why reconnecting with self is emerging as the most radical—and necessary—act of our time. In this episode of the Holistic Wealth podcast we're discussing this plus answering some listener questions about the Holistic Wealth Retreat on the Holistic Wealth Trail. February is also Black History Month, a very special celebration of Black History. Resources Used in This Episode:Holistic Wealth Expanded and Updated Book by Keisha Blair Holistic Wealth Retreat on the Holistic Wealth TrailHolistic Wealth Personal Workbook by Keisha Blair What is the Global Disconnection Crisis?We live in an era of unprecedented access, convenience, and information—yet human beings are more dysregulated than ever before. Consider this:77% of people globally report chronic stress that directly impacts their physical health60–90% of doctor visits are linked to stress-related conditionsChronic loneliness increases mortality risk by 26%, comparable to smoking nearly a pack of cigarettes a dayFewer than 10% of people experience sustained nervous-system calm on a regular basis. This means that 90% of people are in a sustained state of nervous system dysregulation. In other words, the majority of humanity is living in fight-or-flight as a baseline state.When people say, “I feel disconnected from myself,” what they are really saying is:Reconnection is not indulgence. It is a biological repair.What You Will Learn Why the New Year Is the Most Fragile Time of AllThe first quarter of the New Year, from January to March, is often framed as a season of acceleration—goals, resolutions, productivity, but physiologically, the new year is one of the most vulnerable times for the human body:Cortisol levels spike after prolonged holiday stressBlood sugar instability increasesInflammation markers riseEmotional processing catches up after months of suppressionThis is why so many people feel unmotivated, foggy, or emotionally raw in the early months of the year.The body is not asking for more productivity hacks and optimization. It is asking for re-anchoring.What Reconnecting With Self Actually MeansReconnection is not a mindset shift. It is not a productivity hack. It is not another item on a wellness checklist.

Have you ever eaten off plan or skipped a workout—and immediately felt that familiar wave of guilt, frustration, or "what is wrong with me?" That moment matters more than you think… not because of the food, but because of what happens next in your mindset and your nervous system. In this episode of The Menopause Makeover Podcast, we're talking about the shame–cortisol cycle that so many midlife women get trapped in after a slip. I'll walk you through why beating yourself up actually drives cortisol higher, keeps your body stuck in stress mode, and makes belly fat harder to release—especially in menopause. This isn't about perfection, restarting on Monday, or fixing yourself. It's about learning how to pause, separate facts from feelings, and return calmly without spiraling. You'll hear how shortening your recovery window, calming your stress response, and choosing one wise next step can protect your hormones and support real progress. We'll also weave together faith, nervous system regulation, and practical mindset tools you can use immediately. Friend, nothing is ruined. This is practice—not failure.

Your anxiety is not in your head! Discover the hidden causes of anxiety disorder to finally say goodbye to anxiety symptoms for good. Stop anxiety attacks before they start by addressing the root cause.

This episode is for you if you've ever wondered why your body seems to hold onto fat, why cravings hit even when you just ate, or why dieting alone never seems to work.In this episode, I break down the storage hormone, insulin, and why understanding it is not just about biology—it's about how your mind, habits, and environment shape your hormonal responses. I share practical ways to reduce cravings, balance hormones, and eat in a way that actually supports your body.1. Insulin Isn't Just About FoodMost people think insulin is purely biological: “Eat sugar → insulin rises → fat storage happens.” But here's what I want you to know: your mind controls it too.Thoughts, anticipation, and habits can trigger insulin release.Insulin signals: “We have excess energy—store it, don't release it.”Paired with cortisol (the stress hormone), insulin drives cravings and fat storage more than you realize.Your biology is responding to your thoughts and environment as much as your plate.2. Everyone Responds DifferentlyI've seen it hundreds of times in the Make Peace With Food program: no two people respond the same way to food.Certain foods trigger more insulin in some people than others.Your sleep, stress, activity, and lean muscle mass all influence insulin's effect.That's why a personalized metabolic blueprint is so powerful—it shows you exactly which foods are truly nourishing for your body.Forget generic diets. Your hormones hold the real answers.3. Food Pairing & TimingIt's not just what you eat—it's how you pair it and when.Pairing carbs with protein, fat, or fiber reduces insulin spikes.Eating according to your circadian rhythm helps your body use energy efficiently.Anticipation of food triggers insulin before the first bite, creating cravings and prepping digestion.Understanding this alone can change how you respond to cravings.4. Cravings, Scarcity, and StressStress drives cravings at the hormone level:Cortisol increases blood sugar needs for immediate energy.Insulin follows, storing sugar and locking away energy.The drop in blood sugar afterward is what we feel as cravings.I share a personal story from hosting my retreat in Greece—stress and scarcity triggered intense cravings even though food was abundant. This shows how mindset directly interacts with hormones.5. Actionable StepsMonitor your hormones: notice stress, sleep, and food triggers.Mindful pairing: combine foods to balance glucose response.Strength training: lean muscle mass improves insulin efficiency.Anticipation awareness: notice how thoughts about food trigger cravings.Shift scarcity mindset: create safety around eating by experimenting with what nourishes you.The Reframe I Want You to Take With YouInstead of asking:“What should I eat?”I want you to start asking:How does this affect my hormones?Am I eating from safety or scarcity?What patterns am I reinforcing?What does my nervous system need right now?Transformation doesn't come from control.It comes from understanding.Key TakeawaysThe storage hormone is influenced by both biology and mindsetThere is no universal “healthy” foodStress and cravings are hormonally linkedAnticipation alone can trigger storageFood fear creates overeating — safety creates balanceHormone awareness beats calorie countingBook your FREE 30-minute Food Freedom Call now and start your journey to lasting change!

Could low cortisol be the hidden reason behind chronic fatigue, poor stress tolerance, sleep disruptions, or mood changes? Cortisol is often misunderstood as just a “stress hormone,” but it plays a critical role in regulating energy levels, emotional resilience, inflammation, and the body's natural sleep-wake cycle. When cortisol production becomes depleted due to prolonged stress, illness, or trauma, the body may struggle to function optimally, leading to symptoms commonly associated with adrenal insufficiency. Join us today as Bryana Gregory, PharmD, RPh, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison at Physicians Preference Pharmacy, explains how compounded oral cortisol can be used as a personalized hormone replacement option to support adrenal function. She walks through how cortisol naturally follows a diurnal rhythm, why low levels can disrupt sleep and energy, and how carefully dosed replacement may help restore balance. The discussion also highlights how compounded formulations allow for individualized dosing, cleaner ingredients, and delivery methods that better mimic the body's natural cortisol patterns. Listeners will gain insight into who may benefit from cortisol replacement, how it differs from adrenal supplements, and why more is not always better when it comes to hormone therapy. This episode emphasizes the importance of working closely with a knowledgeable physician to address symptoms, monitor response, and create a customized approach that supports long-term wellness, resilience, and overall quality of life.

Join her free health & longevity newsletter here: https://www.drvondawright.com/resources/aging-longevity There's a moment many women reach in midlife where things don't feel wrong but they don't feel right either. Digestion changes. Bloating appears out of nowhere. Sleep feels lighter. Inflammation lingers. And no one ever told us these systems might all be connected. I sat down with Cynthia Thurlow, a nurse practitioner and intermittent fasting expert, to talk about a topic that is still vastly underexplored in women's health: the gut microbiome during perimenopause and menopause.   So many women are told their digestive symptoms, inflammation, mood changes, or recurrent infections are just "part of aging." What Cynthia makes clear is that these experiences are deeply rooted in physiology and that when we understand what's happening, we're no longer powerless. This conversation matters because it replaces dismissal with clarity and fear with context. We examine how this topic shows up in daily life: - Why declining estrogen affects gut barrier integrity, immune response, and inflammation - How "leaky gut" can contribute to bone loss, autoimmune risk, and metabolic changes - The connection between gut health, mood, anxiety, and neurotransmitter signaling - Why fiber and short-chain fatty acids become more important in perimenopause and menopause - How fermented foods can support microbiome diversity and recovery after stress, illness, or antibiotics - The gut–vaginal microbiome connection and why improving one can support the other - How chronic stress and unprocessed trauma can accelerate hormonal aging and menopause timing   About Cynthia Thurlow: Cynthia Thurlow, NP is a nurse practitioner, intermittent fasting expert, and educator specializing in women's health, hormones, and longevity. Her work bridges functional and conventional medicine, with a focus on helping women understand the physiological changes of perimenopause and menopause through a science-based, compassionate lens.

¿Te notas cansado sin motivo claro? ¿Estrés que se te va al cuerpo, digestiones pesadas o sueño que no descansa? En este episodio de Tus amigas las hormonas, Isabel Viña conversa con Sara Marín ( @uncafecontudoctora ) doctora y experta en microbiota y salud femenina, sobre cómo el cortisol, el estrés crónico y el estado del intestino pueden influir en la energía, el ánimo, la digestión y el descanso.Hablamos de cuándo el cansancio puede entrar dentro de lo habitual y cuándo conviene hacerse mirar, de señales de alerta que no deberían ignorarse, y de por qué normalizar síntomas digestivos como hinchazón o reflujo puede retrasar un diagnóstico y cuándo conviene dejar de normalizarlos o pensar en alteraciones como el SIBO. También entramos en la ansiedad corporal y la somatización: cuando “no te pasa nada en la cabeza”, pero el cuerpo está hablando.En la parte final, abordamos el uso (y abuso) de fármacos para dormir, qué hábitos modernos están destrozando el sueño, y una mirada clara a la salud femenina: qué cosas del ciclo menstrual no deberían normalizarse y cómo la microbiota y las hormonas se relacionan más de lo que parece.

Why do so many people struggle with fatigue, stubborn weight gain, hormone issues, and burnout — even when they're eating “clean” and training hard? In this episode, we break down the real reason your body isn't healing and why most health advice fails to address the root cause.Joined by Lindsay Perry, this conversation dives deep into a systems-based approach to health, exploring how the gut, liver, hormones, nervous system, sleep, and stress all work together to control energy, metabolism, and long-term results.Rather than focusing on symptoms, trends, or extreme diets, this episode explains what's happening under the hood — from ATP production and mitochondrial function to cortisol regulation, nervous system balance, and metabolic flexibility. You'll learn why pushing harder often backfires and how chronic stress quietly sabotages recovery, fat loss, and hormone health.We cover:Why gut and liver health are foundational for hormones and energyHow stress and nervous system dysregulation block healing and fat lossThe role of sleep and circadian rhythm in metabolism and recoveryWhy detoxification and elimination are biological processes — not fadsHow to fuel properly based on stress, activity, and current health stateLindsay Perry brings real-world coaching insight throughout the episode, helping connect science with practical application for people who feel stuck despite doing “everything right.”If you're tired of surface-level health advice and want a clear, root-cause explanation of how the body actually heals, this episode will change how you think about health, fitness, and recovery.00:00 – Introduction & Why Most People Aren't Healing00:41 – The “March Method” & Root-Cause Health Explained01:02 – ATP, Mitochondria & Cellular Energy Basics01:19 – Hormones, Cycles & Why Balance Matters02:44 – Detox, Elimination & Why the Body Gets Stuck04:14 – Cold Exposure, Stress Adaptation & Recovery05:50 – Stress Load, Burnout & Early Cortisol Discussion07:55 – Fueling the Body: Fat vs Carbs Explained10:57 – Sleep, Circadian Rhythm & Metabolic Health12:12 – Gut Health: The Foundation of Healing15:48 – Liver Function, Detox Pathways & Hormones18:35 – Inflammation, Energy Deficits & Fatigue21:30 – Nervous System Regulation & Chronic Stress24:35 – Cortisol, Survival Mode & Weight Loss Resistance28:10 – Why Pushing Harder Makes Things Worse32:24 – Metabolic Flexibility & Long-Term Healing34:27 – Nervous System Reset & Final Takeaways35:57 – Closing ThoughtsDisclaimer:The information discussed in this episode is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

Blood work is trending — but most people are reading it wrong.“Normal” labs don't mean optimal, and context is what everyone is missing.In this episode, we break down why blood work has become a trend instead of a tool, how people are misinterpreting their labs, and why “normal” results often create false confidence instead of real clarity. Everyone wants answers from a single panel, but very few understand how to read blood markers in context.Joined by Lindsay Perry, the conversation dives into what blood work can and cannot tell you, why markers like insulin, glucose, and A1C must be viewed together, and why relying on isolated numbers leads to poor decisions. We also discuss the limitations of cortisol testing, why blood work alone doesn't capture nervous system stress, and where additional tools like genetics and functional testing actually fit.This episode isn't anti–blood work — it's anti-misuse.You'll hear a grounded, coaching-driven perspective on:Why blood work became popular — and how it's being misunderstoodThe danger of reading labs without lifestyle, behavior, and symptom contextInsulin as a missing piece in most standard blood panelsWhy cortisol is difficult to assess accurately through blood work aloneHow genetics, gut health, and deeper testing inform smarter decisionsWhy data without interpretation creates confusion, not solutionsLindsay Perry brings real-world coaching insight into how health data should guide action, not anxiety, and why context matters more than any single number on a report.If you've ever been told your labs are “normal” but still don't feel right — this conversation explains why.00:00 – Why Blood Work Is Trending Right NowBlood work has become the latest health trend and why everyone wants answers from labs.01:18 – Everyone Wants to Be a Blood Work ExpertHow access to data without education creates confusion and false authority.03:05 – Why “Normal” Blood Work Can Be MisleadingUnderstanding reference ranges vs optimal health and why people feel stuck.05:12 – The Missing Marker: InsulinWhy insulin is often ignored, how it connects to glucose and A1C, and why it matters.08:04 – Looking at Markers Together, Not in IsolationWhy single lab values don't tell the full story.10:36 – Cortisol and the Limits of Blood TestingWhy cortisol is difficult to assess through blood work alone.13:02 – Stress, the Nervous System, and What Labs MissWhy lifestyle and nervous system regulation don't show up clearly on labs.15:48 – Genetics as a Coaching ToolHow genetic testing is used to guide smarter decisions, not labels.18:22 – Detox, Methylation, and Mitochondrial Pathways ExplainedBreaking down common genetic categories and what they influence.21:10 – Gut Health, Sensitivities, and Deeper TestingWhen blood work isn't enough and additional testing becomes relevant.24:05 – Why Context Matters More Than Any NumberHow symptoms, behavior, and lifestyle complete the picture.26:42 – Coaching vs Data ObsessionWhy data should guide action, not anxiety.29:30 – Using Blood Work the Right WayHow to treat labs as a tool, not a diagnosis.32:10 – Final Thoughts: Blood Work Isn't the EnemyWhy blood work is valuable when used correctly and responsibly.⚠️ DisclaimerThis content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or replace medical advice.

In this episode, Ben Azadi shares a surprising 30-day experiment where he ate a small amount of raw honey before bed and tracked its effects on sleep, stress, cravings, energy, and fat loss. Ben explains how chronic low-carb dieting, fasting, or undereating carbohydrates at night can elevate cortisol, disrupt sleep, and stall fat loss, especially for people over 40. He breaks down why raw honey is metabolically different from sugar, highlighting its enzymes, polyphenols, antioxidants, and lower insulin response shown in human studies. You'll learn how low nighttime liver glycogen can trigger cortisol spikes and middle-of-the-night wake-ups, and how a teaspoon to tablespoon of raw honey before bed may support liver glycogen, reduce stress hormones, improve REM and deep sleep, and stabilize mood and energy. Ben shares his exact protocol, week-by-week results, who should avoid or modify this approach, how to choose high-quality raw honey, and whether this strategy affects ketosis. He also answers common questions about insulin, inflammation, fructose, melatonin, and long-term use. This episode reframes honey not as a sugar problem, but as a strategic metabolic tool to improve sleep, reduce stress, and support overall metabolic health.

If you are struggling with stubborn belly fat, poor sleep, anxiety, or nighttime restlessness, the issue may not be calories, carbs, or willpower. The real culprit is often elevated cortisol, especially at night when it should be low. In this episode, Ben explains how chronically high cortisol blocks fat loss, disrupts sleep, increases inflammation, and accelerates aging. He breaks down how cortisol is meant to follow a natural daily rhythm and why modern stress, screen time, caffeine timing, and under-eating can keep it elevated at night. You'll learn about seven powerful herbs that help lower cortisol naturally, calm the nervous system, improve sleep quality, and support fat loss indirectly by restoring hormonal balance. Ben explains how each herb works, when to take it, and common mistakes people make when using supplements. The episode also covers what does not work for cortisol and sleep, how to safely stack herbs, how long to use them, and who should be cautious.

If you are exhausted all the time and can't figure out why, this episode is for you. Today I'm breaking down the real truth about adrenal health, cortisol, and fatigue, and why so many women feel stuck, dismissed, or confused when it comes to their energy. Fatigue is not one thing. It is not always just stress, and it is definitely not something you should be told to "just push through." One of the most frustrating things about fatigue is that so many symptoms overlap. Low energy can come from nutrient deficiencies, blood sugar instability, thyroid dysfunction, estrogen or progesterone imbalance, adrenal dysfunction, or cortisol issues. This is why guessing rarely works. When women ask me: Why do I feel like this? Are my adrenals burned out? Is my cortisol too high or too low? Why does nothing I try actually fix this? The answer is not a guess. The answer is data. This is one of the reasons I love the DUTCH test so much. It shows us what your body is actually doing with cortisol, not just a single snapshot in time. I recently reviewed a DUTCH test for a woman whose main concern was low libido. She had tried every testosterone supplement out there and even changed her workouts to boost hormones. Her testosterone looked great. The real issue was her cortisol and adrenal function. This is incredibly common. Cortisol issues can shut down libido, energy, motivation, sleep, and even weight regulation, especially in women. High Cortisol vs Poor Cortisol Clearance Sometimes fatigue comes from producing too much cortisol. Other times, it comes from the body being unable to clear cortisol effectively. The DUTCH test shows us both. Elevated cortisol production can look like feeling wired but tired, anxious, inflamed, unable to sleep, or constantly on edge. Poor cortisol clearance can lead to puffiness, brain fog, inflammation, weight gain, hair loss, and a sense that stress just keeps piling up. These require different strategies, and this is where personalized care matters. Why Lifestyle Has to Be Part of Healing If someone is helping you with hormones but never asks about your sleep, stress, digestion, or daily life, you are not getting full care. Sometimes healing looks like: Supporting cortisol regulation with adaptogens and targeted herbs Improving protein and mineral intake Fixing sleep timing and consistency Supporting liver, gut, lymphatic, and kidney clearance Learning how to stop living in constant survival mode And sometimes the most powerful changes are surprisingly simple, but only once you know exactly what your body needs. How We Actually Fix This Once we know what's going on, the next question is always: "Okay, what do I do about it?" This is exactly what we do inside The Hormone Foundations Program. This is a six-month, one-on-one program where we: Run a DUTCH test at the beginning Create a fully personalized plan based on your results Adjust support as your body changes Address adrenal function, cortisol production, and clearance Re-test at the end so we can compare and confirm progress There is no cookie-cutter timeline. We focus on what your body needs, not what a generic schedule says you should work on. This is our most popular program for a reason. It gives you answers, a plan, and support every step of the way.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared introduces a refined Emotional Vitality format and tackles one of the most common struggles in modern life: overwhelm. Rather than being a mindset failure or lack of willpower, overwhelm is explained as a nervous system state—specifically a freeze response driven by brain chemistry and stress signaling. Jared breaks down what's happening neurologically, why procrastination is often protection, and how clarity and motivation shut down under chronic stress. You'll learn practical, science-grounded tools to regulate your nervous system through simple physical actions, breathing, language shifts, and small, specific steps that restore agency. Supplement support like magnesium, ashwagandha, L-theanine, and B vitamins is discussed as supportive—not corrective—tools. This episode is about skill-building, self-leadership, and learning how to move forward when life feels heavy.Products:Magnesium BisglycinateUltimate Vitality MultiActive B ComplexAnxiety ReleaseSensoril AshwagandhaL-TheanineVitality Radio POW!

DHEA is one of the most commonly self-prescribed hormones—and one of the most misunderstood. In this episode of The Health Revival Show, we break down the real difference between DHEA vs DHEA-S, how cortisol patterns impact adrenal health, and why taking DHEA without testing can worsen acne, anxiety, estrogen dominance, and fatigue. We cover when DHEA supplementation actually helps, when it hurts, how stress, under-eating, over-training, menopause, and chronic illness affect adrenal output—and what to fix before reaching for hormones. If you're dealing with fatigue, low libido, stubborn weight gain, hormone imbalance, or burnout… this episode is a must-listen.

You're about to learn how government approved food policies, regulatory loopholes, and corporate lobbying have quietly reshaped what's allowed in the food supply and why these decisions are driving chronic inflammation, immune dysfunction, and neurological breakdown at scale. This episode exposes how biotoxins, ultra processed ingredients, and systemic regulatory failures contribute to long COVID, POTS, mold illness, chronic fatigue, and dysautonomia and why so many people feel sick despite following official health guidance. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Will Cole, a functional medicine expert who works extensively with autoimmune disease, mold illness, hormonal dysfunction, digestive disorders, and complex brain related symptoms. Dr. Cole brings years of clinical experience analyzing lab data and treating patients with biotoxin exposure, neuro immune dysregulation, and chronic fatigue patterns. Together, they connect the dots between mold exposure, post viral illness, mast cell activation, low blood pressure, and why many people with long COVID or POTS feel dizzy, inflamed, and cognitively impaired. They explain how histamine overload, electrolyte depletion, cortisol imbalance, and genetics combine to disrupt blood flow to the brain and shut down human performance. The conversation focuses on practical functional medicine and biohacking tools that help rebuild resilience at the mitochondrial and nervous system level. You'll Learn: • Why long COVID, mold illness, POTS, and chronic fatigue often share the same biological drivers • How biotoxins like mold and viral exposure dysregulate the neuro immune endocrine axis • Why low blood pressure reduces blood flow to the brain and causes brain fog and fatigue • What mast cell activation syndrome is and how histamine overload affects the body and brain • Why electrolytes, especially sodium, potassium, and magnesium, are foundational for recovery • How creatine supports brain energy, hydration, and mitochondrial function • The role of cortisol in inflammation, stress tolerance, and nervous system stability • When antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers can improve quality of life • How nicotine acts as a low dose neuroprotective compound when used carefully • The benefits and risks of methylene blue for mitochondrial and cognitive support • Why removing the trigger matters more than chasing symptoms • How a functional medicine approach rebuilds resilience instead of masking dysfunction • Why creatine absorption improves when added to hot coffee • How Danger Coffee fits into performance, hydration, and brain energy Thank you to our sponsors! - IGNITON | Go to http://igniton.com/ and use code DAVE for 15% off your first order. -TRU KAVA | Go to https://trukava.com/ and use code DAVE10 for 10% off. -Caldera + Lab | Go to https://calderalab.com/DAVE and use code DAVE at checkout for 20% off your first order. -LYMA | Go to https://lyma.sjv.io/gOQ545 and use code DAVE10 for 10% off the LYMA Laser.
