Discover the underlying connections between trauma, stress, and the ADHD spectrum as Dr. Mate expertly presents compelling evidence from his extensive research and clinical experience.

Let's talk about how to reduce stress using ashwagandha. Ashwagandha is an herb that has been around for a very long time and has minimal side effects. Potential benefits of ashwagandha: • It's an incredible adaptogen (it helps you cope with stress and depression) • It may help increase exercise performance • It may help decrease cortisol • It may help reduce fibroids • It has anti-inflammatory properties • It may help improve the immune system • It supports cognitive function • It may help lower blood sugar levels It seems like natural alternatives are always attacked. Recently, there has been some fear around ashwagandha because, like other natural remedies, it's not FDA-approved. The committees that approve drugs have a lot of conflicts of interest. Many medications that are FDA-approved have a massive number of side effects, but people take them without hesitation. You may find it beneficial to try ashwagandha and come off of it for a while to see how you feel. Ashwagandha is powerful for stress, but you may not need it after you change your lifestyle and get rid of stress. Natural remedies are great tools but aren't meant to be taken for the rest of your life.

8 Techniques to Relieve Daily Stress

Things are crazy in the world right now, huh? Seems like they get crazier and crazier, but here's the deal… We can't change the way things around us are. Welcome to today's episode of The Mindset Mentor Podcast, where I'm going to give you 8 techniques to relieve daily stress that you may be feeling. You don't have to use all 8 every day, but you can pick and choose each one to try on for size! The level of your stress and anxiety right now, will be a direct reflection of how much you are resisting the way that the world is. The people around us are the way that they are, and we can't control that. Don't resist. Let's practice these great techniques to remove stress: Practice your breathing. 6 deep breaths, in through the nose… out thru your mouth. A long exhale will slow your heart rate down. Focus on gratitude. What you focus on grows. We need to change our perspectives. Thinking about everything you don't have, and all the people that you wish were different… think about this… Those thoughts alone can be extremely stressful. When you desire something, you create a space between who you are now and who you think you'd be if you had that “thing”... and that takes you out of your current state, telling your brain that you aren't going to be happy until you have that thing. Go for a walk! Forward physical motion seen through the eyes, will actually lower your cortisol levels. Cortisol is a stress hormones, so if possible I highly recommend that you go for a walk in nature. Science says that these walks in nature will lower your cortisol AND your stress levels. Time to write!! I'm not gonna call this journaling… (I don't want to stress you out any more…) Scientific studies have shown that the act of writing things down, can help to get rid of some of the mess that's in your head… OUT. This will help relieve you and give you more peace of mind. Get your blood levels checked- I know this one sounds weird but it's just science my friends. I personally was feeling off a while back, got my blood checked, found out I was Vitamin B & D deficient. So, I made sure to get those vitamins in my system, and BOOM. Almost instantly my mood and stress levels corrected. Try to stop drinking so much caffeine… especially if your stress levels are out of whack. Side note: Sometimes caffeine is a bit of a crutch to help you get the energy you need throughout the day, that you wouldn't actually be needing if you did #5 on this list, which is getting your blood checked to make sure your body is running optimally. Force yourself to watch 10 minutes of comedy. Laughter will release dopamine, and dopamine release will decrease your cortisol levels. When cortisol levels decrease, you are going to feel more relaxed, and less anxious. Laughter stimulates the release of your body's natural feel good chemicals as well which temporarily relieves pain the body, and helps your muscles relax. Be cautious of the music you're listening to. There is a time and place for everyone to get to listen to Slipknot. But when you're desperately trying to relieve your stress levels, then you need to be a little more picky and careful with what you listen to. My personal stress reducing song: Weightless, by Marconi Union (Please go look it up, it's life changing.) As I mentioned before, no one is suggesting that you try and do all of these 8 things everyday, but what I am suggesting is you try them each out to see which help you the most. (even the ones that you may feel like wouldn't normally be for you…)If you like this episode… Make sure to share it with someone that needs to hear it and help us get the message out there so that together we can help make people's lives better and make the world a better place. And BY THE WAY:My first book that I've ever written is now available for pre-order. It's called LEVEL UP and It's a step-by-step guide to go from where you are now, to where you want to be as fast as possible.Within its pages, you'll discover powerful insights and practical steps that will revolutionize the way you approach your goals, personal motivation, and mental focus.

Vacations are over and the kids are back at school. It's that time of year when we often feel the need to get “back on track” and into the structure and routines that help us thrive. But something that we rarely consider is that as life changes, so does our personal “recipe for success.” Be it in relationships, careers, added responsibilities, shifting hormones, or the ages of your kids, life has a way of changing and throwing curve balls when it comes to maintaining a healthy routine.  So if you're looking to establish some new habits around sleep, food, movement, mental health, unhealthy coping mechanisms  (or any other area of positive change), this episode is the perfect place to start. With the tips you gather here, you'll be able to evaluate all the variables in your life at this moment so you can create habits and routines that are both achievable and supportive of your body's needs.  In this episode, you'll learn:  Why we have to consider our season of life as we build new habits How one area of change can easily fuel change in other areas of your health Why letting habits go can be just as powerful as adding habits in How to break down your habits into achievable tasks The impact of journaling about the change you want to see in yourself   To connect with Wendy about her coaching and programming, visit: https://www.wendymccallum.com/

We will talk about the challenges for mothers returning to the workforce, the insane lack of postpartum support, and the pressure to regularly achieve impossible parenting standards. But we're not just exposing the problem. Celeste gives us some practical advice for how to start redistributing the mental load with your partner or support system and why being active in a sober community can transform your perspective on motherhood.  In this episode, you'll learn Why it's important to get curious about your defensiveness about drinking The moment that Celeste learned she didn't have to gaslight herself any longer Why the pressure to enjoy every moment of motherhood is unsustainable The first step to take towards redistributing the division of labor in your home Why you don't have to identify as an “alcoholic” (or hit rock bottom) before you get curious about your relationship with alcohol To learn more about Celeste and her work, connect with her on her website at https://www.celesteyvonne.com, or follow her on Instagram @theultimatemomchallenge.

Have you been told you need to reduce your stress levels, but haven't been given tangible steps on how to? Today's episode will share tips and tricks on how to manage stress, both the physical (hormones) and the mental aspects. . Jenn is joined by women's health and hormones specialist, Ali Damron to discuss how the mind-body connection works. Ali talks about the 5 pillars of hormone health and talks about how we can calm our thoughts to better serve our nervous system. She gives powerful tips on balancing blood sugar through all areas of your lifestyle, with tangible steps on how to implement healthy habits. Tune in today to learn how to achieve your best health possible. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE:●   [4:40] Ali shares her story and how she got into the health field.●   [8:50] Ali explains the mind-body connection and the internal and external connections.●   [14:58] How does the cortisol, insulin, and adrenaline pyramid all work together?●   [17:18] What are the 5 pillars of hormone health? ●   [21:41] What are some ways that we can calm our thoughts?●   [27:15] How do you balance your blood sugar?●   [30:35] What is the best style of exercise for hormone health and managing stress?●   [33:38] How do you know when you need extra support through supplements?●   [35:28] How do you add mindfulness or other elements into your autopilot?●   [38:40] How do we know if what we are doing is working?KEY TAKEAWAYS:●   Your brain only focuses on what it thinks is important by what you focus on yourself. Take the time to get curious about your thoughts and reflect on if they are true. This can take you out of flight or fight mode, and is an excellent way to calm your nervous system. ●   Balancing your blood sugar happens through a variety of lifestyle activities such as a balanced meal, strength training, walking, and adding micronutrients into your diet found through eating whole foods.●   Hormones are constantly changing, so there is no such thing as fully balanced hormones. Instead, take note of how you are feeling every day and evaluate where you may need to give extra attention.QUOTES: “You get to decide which thoughts you buy into. The goal is not to not have the thoughts anymore, the goal is to decide if this is something I'm going to buy into, is this something that's true and if not then you don't need to do anything else with it.” - Ali Damron“So much about this is just being self aware and honest with how you feel. There's always an expert telling you what's right and what's wrong, and we're not all the same.” - Ali Damron“Our hormones change on a minute by minute basis, if not a month to month. Like that's slow. Our nervous system is reacting to every single thing in front of you. If you slam on the brakes real quick, your nervous system is dysregulated for a minute and it comes back. It's not a destination. There is no way to say, okay, now my hormones are balanced. It's like a feeling.” - Ali Damron“To be aware of the relief of symptoms does require a moment of pause to reflect...in the moment it's so easy to forget that you're not feeling those things.” - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramGUEST RESOURCES”Ali Amron's WebsiteConsult InformationAli Amron's InstagramAli Amron's Facebook GroupGUEST BIO:Ali is a wife, mother to two sweet little boys, a licensed acupuncturist and a certified personal trainer.

Our bodies and brains are different during each phase of our cycle, so our food, exercise, and self-care should ideally be different each week, too. If you've been living in a ‘same-thing-everyday' way, you're not alone. I used to believe in having the same routine every day. And it is definitely a widespread cultural belief, especially within “hustle culture”, that we are supposed to repeat the same rituals every 24 hours- have the same morning routine, exercise the same way each week at the same times, eat the same things… I even used to preach and coach that way. But I have since then learned that this insistence on doing the same thing day-in and day-out only caters to the male hormonal biological rhythm. Men follow the same predictable pattern everyday: the 24-hour circadian rhythm clock. Women's menstrual cycles are on a different clock- the “Infradian Rhythm.” As opposed to the Circadian Rhythm, the internal clock in both men and women that creates hormonal shifts over the course of a 24 hour period that helps us toggle between sleep and wake… The Infradian Rhythm is unique to women's bodies, and is a ~28 day internal clock. Think of the circadian rhythm as the sun, and the infradian rhythm as the moon. Men are simply the sun, while women are complex moons. But so much of what is put on as a society - how we work, how we show up day to day - was created based on a society where men did all the work. They could show up the same day after day. But obviously that isn't the case anymore - women now account for more than half of the college-educated labor force in the United States, overtaking men, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of government data in 2023. That's why it's so important and empowering as a woman to be in tune with your body and take steps towards better health! When you ditch the idea that you're supposed to live the same every day, and you live in sync with your cycle, you can become the badass business women you want to be, you can actually show up as the mom, sister, friend you know you are, and you can look and feel your best. In Part 1 of this 2 Part Series, I'm going to give you the real sex education class we should have had growing up.

#175 Birth Control Pills: How They Affect Our Health And What To Do About It with Dr. Doni

In this episode I'm going to be talking about birth control pills (also known as oral contraceptive pills) and the information that I feel is important for everyone to have, especially those of you who are considering taking the birth control pill or are already taking a birth control pill. This topic is important because a lot of this information is often not shared by the providers who are prescribing these pills. It's really necessary to understand everything before you make any decision about what to take for your health. One of the things I want to talk about are the risks related to taking the birth control pill, including risk of HPV related cancers (like cervical cancer) and nutrient deficiencies associated with the use of “the pill.” I also want to help you understand how it's possible to feel good and balance your hormones and ovarian function naturally if you have reached a point in your life where you don't want to take the birth control pill anymore. It is estimated that more than 10 million women in the United States alone are taking the birth control pill. These are prescription medications, and they are synthetic hormones. When these pills are made, they're made with chemical versions of estrogen and progesterone. You can get a birth control pill that's only a synthetic form of progesterone, but most people take what are called combined formulas that contain synthetic estrogen and synthetic progesterone. When we make a hormone synthetically it signals to our bodies, but it doesn't signal exactly the same as natural hormones or bioidentical hormones. So, I want to emphasize that when I'm talking about birth control pills, I'm referencing synthetic hormones and the risks associated with those types of hormones versus bioidentical or natural hormones, like naturally produced estrogen and progesterone, or bioidentical estradiol, for example, or estriol, and progesterone formulas that are sometimes used for fertility and perimenopause. Our bodies recognize bioidentical hormones. They know exactly what they are and they know how to respond to them in a healthy way. When we take a synthetic hormone, it can have a slightly different effect in our bodies and that's why there are side effects and risks associated, especially with longer term use. If you're taking synthetic hormones on a short-term basis, the risk of health issues is lower and as the length of time increases, the risks increase. Sometimes you may need a birth control pill for a short period of time and that may not be as concerning. It's also known that the risks tend to decrease the longer you are off the birth control pill. Why Are So Many Women Taking Birth Control Pills? What I find in my practice is that for most women (I would say definitely greater than 50%), the pill is not just being used for birth control. They're more often prescribed by gynecologists for regulating the menstrual cycle in some way. Most women, when they go in to see a gynecologist, it's usually to get help with irregular menstrual cycles or maybe perimenopausal symptoms, PCOS or endometriosis, or perhaps you have PMS symptoms or even PMDD, higher anxiety or depression and fatigue, bloating, severe cramps or heavy bleeding and acne during your period. All of these symptoms can happen because of hormone imbalances related to the menstrual cycle. And often times the first thing a gynecologist or other practitioner will prescribe is a birth control pill. What the birth control pill does is it takes over for your ovaries. It literally turns off the ovaries, so your ovaries are not making estrogen and progesterone on their own. You are relying solely on the synthetic estrogen or progesterone that you're swallowing in the birth control pill. This is why if you miss a dose, you could have breakthrough bleeding or other symptoms like headaches, nausea, etc. because these hormones are signaling to your body every day. Birth control pills can regulate the menstrual cycle, decrease bleeding, pain and acne for a lot of women, which can help them keep up with their daily life. At the same time, it's absolutely false to think that the only option to help with menstrual related symptoms is to use a synthetic hormone pill. There are a lot of things we could do to help with those symptoms and support your body naturally to address them without necessarily having to use a synthetic hormone pill. Now, if your priority is to prevent pregnancy at this point in life, maybe the birth control pill is a good option, but there are also other options for contraception that don't require to take a synthetic hormone. I'll discuss them more later in this episode. What Are the Risks of Long-Term Use of Birth Control Pills? Nutrient deficiencies: Birth control pills can end up depleting our nutrients. This is especially true of some of the B vitamins like B2 or riboflavin, B6, B12 and Folate or B9. All those B vitamins can become deficient with use of birth control pill. Also, vitamin C and vitamin E can become deficient. Minerals like magnesium, selenium, and zinc can also be affected. This is why it is important to take a good quality multivitamin if you are on the birth control pill. If you would like to learn more about high-quality multivitamins, you can watch Episode 167 of How Humans Heal here. One of the ways to know if it's a high-quality multivitamin is to look at the ingredient list. Look at what form of folate is in the product. We want it to say “Methyl Folate” (or 5MTHF) instead of Folic Acid. If the label says Folic Acid, it's not a high-quality product. Then look at the B12, if it says Cyanocobalamin, it's not a high-quality product. It should say Methyl Cobalamin instead. This way you know you're getting active forms of the B vitamins. If a company is putting in those active forms of B vitamins in their products, they're much more likely to be a professional grade company that's invested in getting the nutrients that you need. It's also important to be doing regular blood work to identify nutrient deficiencies. And it's important to do the right tests to get the correct information. That's why it's so important to have a practitioner who can guide you. I guide each of my patients on how to get the correct blood work and what the results mean. For example, it's not that helpful to only measure folate in the blood - we need to be measuring homocysteine. HPV and Cervical Cancer: Furthermore, I believe that one of the connections between HPV risk and birth control pills is related to the nutrient deficiencies. In cases where HPV is persisting and resisting treatment, I recommend doing blood work because I often find nutrient deficiencies exist. When you have low antioxidants and low B vitamins, that already increases the risk of HPV related abnormal cells and cancer risks. So, an important preventive step you can take is to make sure you're meeting your nutrients needs and monitoring your blood levels. There are many studies connecting birth control pills to cervical cancer risk. One study in particular shows there's a 10% increased risk of HPV causing cervical cancer with less than five years of birth control use, and a 60% increased risk for five to nine years of use, and a doubling of the risk with 10 or more years of use. If we talk about hormonal IUDs, there is also an increased risk with cervical cancer whereas the copper IUD does not have that risk, so the risk does seem to be related to the synthetic hormones. There are studies where the researchers try to identify exactly what's happening – there are multiple mechanisms besides the nutrient deficiencies where these synthetic hormones also are signaling to the immune system locally and the way that our body manages cells even at a local level on the cervix. Cardiovascular Issues: Birth control pills are also associated with increased risk of certain cardiovascular issues including heart attack, stroke, as well as blood clots in general (like DVT which is a blood clot in your leg). I really want you to know the associated risks so that you're monitoring for yourself and deciding intentionally, is this a risk that I'm willing to take? One of the things that increases the risk of stroke with birth control pill use is having an MTHFR gene variation. If you want to know more about this gene variation you can watch Episode 29 of How Humans Heal here. MTHFR is a gene variation that affects our ability to activate folic acid into folate and it already carries a risk of stroke, so when combined with a birth control pill it elevates your risk of stroke even more. How To Promote Healthy Ovaries Function After Having Taken Birth Control Pills So, what I encourage you to do is weigh out all the information against the reasons why you're taking the pill, and what would be the criteria for yourself for how you will decide when you want to stop using the pill. Then you will want to make a plan for how you're going to prepare your body for coming off the pill, so that you can transition to healthy ovary function. You want to be addressing the negative effects of the pill and start addressing your health in general before you stop the pill so that when you stop, you have a safety net there for yourself. You want to create a healthy environment so when you stop the pill your body is ready and your ovaries are ready to start functioning again. When our bodies overall are functioning at our best, that's when our ovary function is going to be at its best too. Our ovaries can pick up on so many signals from our environment, like any kind of stress signals. We should be especially careful with new diet plans, whether that's intermittent fasting or a ketogenic diet, or if you're going to do some more exercising. Exercise and diet are important for healthy ovary function but if we overdo it, that can also inhibit our ovary function. If we fast for too long, or we aren't eating enough, or we are exercising too intensely, it will decrease signals to the ovaries and then the ovaries are not going to ovulate or produce hormones as optimally. We need to focus on optimizing what I call your SelfC.A.R.E. C is for clean eating, A is for adequate sleep, R is for recovery activities, and E is for exercise. This is the foundation of health in general, but definitely the foundation for healthy ovary function, including fertility. Clean eating includes things like managing your blood sugar levels, eating protein every few hours and identifying inflammatory foods. If you are experiencing inflammation issues, I suggest doing a food sensitivity panel that I use in my office. It is my favorite because I can see any sensitivities to dairy proteins, gluten, eggs or other foods that you may not even realize like almonds and bananas for certain people can be inflammatory. When we ingest inflammatory foods, that inflammation affects our whole body, including ovary function. I can't tell you how many cases of women have come into my office where we identify the inflammatory foods and we start healing the digestion, healing leaky gut, balancing their biome, and all of a sudden, the ovaries start working better. One of the key hormones to balance when it comes to optimal ovary function is cortisol. Cortisol is our main stress hormone and if cortisol is too high or too low, it inhibits healthy ovary function. So that means we need to know what your cortisol function is up to - we can measure cortisol morning, midday, evening, bedtime through the urine or saliva and we can see what is your cortisol up to. Is it too high at certain times of the day or is it at too low at certain times? And wherever it is then we can use the correct herbs and nutrients to get it back on track again. If you would like to know if your cortisol and adrenaline are out of balance you can do a home test that you can order here. I describe this in my latest book: Master Your Stress Reset Your Health. In this book I describe how to individualize SelfC.A.R.E., how to know what's happening with your cortisol as well as your adrenaline levels according to what I call your Stress Type. If you would like to know which stress type are you so you can start recovering from stress you can take the Stress Type Quiz here. This even helps with perimenopausal symptoms, and it helps with postmenopausal as well. So even once the ovaries calm down and they go into menopause, we still need your adrenal glands to be functioning optimally because now you're even more reliant on your adrenal glands to help you feel good. It's also important to have optimal neurotransmitter levels so this is serotonin and GABA and dopamine. It may come as a surprise that chemicals in the brain have anything to do with optimizing your ovary function, but they are incredibly interrelated. Neurotransmitters can also be measured in urine, and I offer those tests through my office, and you can then balance your neurotransmitters using precursor nutrients. It can be scary to think about coming off the pill, as a doctor and as a woman, I completely understand this fear. What I can tell you is from my experience and from my patients' experience, it's absolutely possible to help rebalance and prevent menstrual related symptoms with natural approaches, nutrients, and herbs without having to rely on synthetic hormones. What Are Some Contraception Alternatives to The Birth Control Pill? My recommendation for non-toxic alternatives includes the nonhormonal copper IUD and the fertility awareness method, which includes tracking your ovulation and menstrual cycles so you can either avoid sexual activity or use condoms in the time frame where you are most likely to conceive. You can also measure your basal body temperature on a daily basis where fluctuations determine when you able to conceive. I will host a future episode for those listeners who are interested in learning more about how to conceive. I hope this episode has been helpful for you and understanding birth control pills more and understanding their connection especially to HPV and cervical cancer risk, as well as some of the other conditions that we talked about today. I invite you to reach out if I can be of more help or if you have any questions, and definitely if you are in a situation where you're working on fending off HPV. I've been helping women with their health now for over 23 years. I'm a naturopathic Doctor, as well as midwife. I love helping women with understanding their bodies and what they can do to support their bodies to be as healthy as possible, as well as to prevent things like cervical cancer.

Holistic Health Coach, Bria Gadd is here as we delve into the fascinating world of perimenopause and its often-misunderstood intricacies. Did you know that about 45% of women mistakenly think perimenopause and menopause are one and the same? Let's clear that up. Perimenopause is like a reverse puberty, hitting around age 35. It's when our reproductive hormones shift from ovaries to the adrenal glands, causing a rollercoaster of symptoms like weight gain, brain fog, and those dreaded night sweats.Now, what's truly intriguing is how these symptoms stem from a dance between progesterone and estrogen. Imagine, when one's off-balance, the other follows suit. Progesterone, highly sensitive to stress and inflammation, often takes a backseat as the adrenal system steps in. But here's the kicker: 75% of symptomatic women aren't seeking help! We'll explore ways to let your hormones heal themselves. Quality sleep (7-9 hours ladies!), proper hydration, and stress reduction through nutrition and movement form the pillars of rejuvenation. So, dive in with a positive mindset – this transition can be a catalyst for empowerment.

How to Effectively Manage Your Energy

Success Road: inspiration for your journey

People find it very difficult to manage their energy. Especially if the energy comes from considering one's food intake, hydration, exercise, sleep, and etc. It almost feels as if the difficulty comes not with the lack of focus or time. But the lack of habit to condition ourselves into doing so. Looking into these areas would actually lead to a good energy flow, as well as making us more productive in the process. Chelsea Stegman has an undergrad degree at Miami University of Ohio. Got her dietetic internship in Louisiana, and worked with the worst diabetes, and kidney dialysis. Afterward, she became a dietitian, moved to Cincinnati, and worked in a health club for three years. Now, she's in downtown Chicago, worked in another health club, finished her master's, and started her own virtual business. She now joins the podcast to talk about energy management. Specifically, about managing nutrition, how to decrease burnout, increase energy, productivity, and performance. Managing your nutrition Managing nutrition often depends on the person but the most realistic way for you to start, with priorities in general, is finding that needle mover that moves all these other habits. Health-wise, it's focusing on exercise, and a lot of nutrition habits, water intake, and eating frequency. But a big priority with most people that leads to all these other things is managing blood sugar throughout the day and looking at macronutrients' meal timing. And that can also help with productivity and reducing brain fog throughout the day. The Blood Sugar and Diet You don't have to look at blood sugar, or blood values consistently. It's really what makes up your meals. Starting off the day with adequate protein, non-starchy vegetables, a complex carbohydrate, healthy fat, or overall a well-balanced meal. Also, looking into the components of each meal throughout your day, and ensuring that you are eating or snacking to just keep that blood sugar stable. So, you don't ride the blood sugar roller coaster. And symptomatically we can feel it, we feel the cravings, we feel the brain fog, the energy dips, and rises and everything that comes with it. Hence, what people should look at is what they are eating and noticing that link between a lot of those symptoms. Also, we kind of life in a world of extremes, there are some components that do help with brain health, people with actual disorders, such as epilepsy. It can be beneficial for the general population. Not advised for that, just making more of a well-rounded approach. Because carbs can support brain health, muscle development, and so many other things. So just making sure we have all those components to keep it stable, and not just go into the extreme forms of dieting. All is right. Cortisol and Energy It is your stress hormone, it takes a diurnal rhythm, that spikes in the morning then slowly taper off throughout the day. And has an inverse relationship to melatonin. For instance, at night, when cortisol is supposed to be low, melatonin is supposed to be high. But some people could have that imbalance if their cortisol is high. A lot of people with productivity energy levels throughout the day performance, like at work or at the gym, are looking more into those cortisol levels and how they're managed. Also, it has a very close relationship with blood sugar too. Managing blood sugar can help manage that cortisol throughout the day. If blood sugar is super low, your cortisol spikes and vice versa.

Of all our hormones, cortisol might be the most misunderstood and maligned. We're told this stress hormone is the culprit behind excess belly fat, high blood sugar, accelerated aging, and a host of menopausal and midlife woes. Menopausal and midlife women sometimes are afraid to exercise too much because they've been told it will raise their cortisol, which can already be elevated during this time of life. The problem with this narrative is that it's one-sided. It paints cortisol as a demon to be avoided at all costs, when actually cortisol is essential to maintain and improve fitness, and frankly for human life. This week we sat down with endocrinologist Dr. Carla DiGirolamo to dive into what cortisol is, what it does, and how menopausal women can manage–even befriend it–to optimize their health, performance, and well-being.Carla DiGirolamo, MD, PhD, is a Double Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist and Obstetrician/Gynecologist specializing in infertility and menopausal medicine. She is also a Crossfit Level 1 trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach, and member of CrossFit Health. She is a MedFit Care provider and provides weekly workouts and medical updates at her Substack Athletic Aging. She has most recently become an Endocrine Consultant for Wild Health.

Additionally, we discuss the role insurance companies may play in perpetuating a more symptom-based approach.  Discover the impact of plastics, hormones, and health on your well-being. We discuss the three main estrogens in the body, the sneaky additives used by the plastics industry, and the importance of testing for bisphenol levels. Learn about the dangers of heating up plastics in the microwave and drinking bottled water, as well as helpful tips for assisting your liver to process toxins. Dr. Jannine also recommends nutraceuticals like milk thistle, diindolylmethane, and calcium deglutinate to support hormone metabolism.  Lastly, let's tackle managing cortisol and nervous system responses. We explore the effects of stress on the body, its link to trauma, and how cortisol influences blood sugar and digestion.

"At the end of the day, you're only taking with you what you've enjoyed. So do not forget to enjoy your life. I know that my father lived his life. So even though he died so young.. he was only 62.. he lived his life. He enjoyed, he travelled around the world, he had crazy adventures. He didn't die just saving for his retirement. He didn't die just waiting to spend the points in his credit card, the miles. He didn't die waiting for the trip of his life to happen. He didn't wait. He lived his life."In this solo episode I will share lessons, through stories - a memoir if you will - honouring a life fully lived:- A lesson that literally saved my life (5:22)-The True Power of Small Details (12:16)-How to welcome in MAGIC (15:53)-Life as a Canvas of Artistry (20:19)-Authenticity in Expression (25:24)-Embracing Life for the Joy of Living (30:23)-The Key to Living Liberated and Regret-Free Life (36:55)-What True Community Offers Us (44:51)-Embracing Enjoyment as Life's Ultimate Currency (52:10)-Being a Stand for Your Desires (55:41)As I look back on my father's life and legacy, I am filled with gratitude for the profound impact he had on shaping who I am today. This episode serves as both a homage to his remarkable spirit and an invitation for all of us to incorporate these cherished lessons into our lives. Even though I would have so much more to share about this now that more months have passed since his death, my prayer is that this memoir may serve as a powerful testament to the significance of living authentically, embracing every moment, and standing unwaveringly for what you desire, and give you some powerful reminders to lead you there too.If this Episode or any others within this season spoke to you, I welcome you to check out my upcoming Retreats in Australia (December 2023), Mexico (March 2024) and Egypt (May 2024).

Check out today's questions:    Kelsi: hi dr. cabral - you are the best there is and i appreciate you so much. quick question about cortisol / blood sugar and coffee. if consuming coffee after water in the morning on an empty stomach, would adding homemade nut milk prevent cortisol and blood sugar from rising VS. completely black? i know it's ideal to drink coffee with food but just curious about this when traveling and waking early. thanks!   Joanna: Hi Dr Cabral Would love to hear your list on what foods to avoid during pregnancy? Thankyou   Missy: Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us, Dr. Cabral! What are your thoughts on drinking alkaline water? How much? Best times of day to drink or not drink alkaline water? We have a XXXXX system for our drinking water but sometimes wonder if it was a good investment or not. We live in the country so we naturally have well water. Would the well water be better or the alkaline water?   Stephanie: Hi Stephen, I had a relatively healthy pregnancy (my only pregnancy) in 2019. At week 36, my docs suspected I would have preeclampsia (as my blood pressure was rising and I had protein in my urine). They induced me but I wouldn't dilate passed 7cm. Therefore, they performed a c-section and sent me home 2 days later. I was not feeling right at home, so I checked my blood pressure and it was 183/118. I was readmitted into the hospital for post-eclampsia. After going through this terrifying experience I am very hesitant to conceive again. Do you have any suggestions/recommendations how on best to avoid blood pressure issues during pregnancy?   Gabriel: Hi Dr. Cabral, Big fan of the show! Thank you for taking the time to answer my question below. For a few years, my dad has been living with a pretty severe case of labyrinthitis/vestibular nerve damage, to the point where if he turns his head in a sudden motion, the floor under him moves causing him to lose balance. Needless to say, this affects him in his every day life but also with things he likes to do, like playing tennis and golf. The doctors who have seen him have prescribed antibiotics in different dosages, but these don't seem to help. He's been told the nerve damage is simply too severe to remedy the situation. I refuse to believe there is no solution for this and would love to offer some treatment or solution. Any help or recommendations are greatly appreciated!
