Podcast appearances and mentions of deb matthew

We have a mashup episode today, exploring heart health during menopause and the benefits of hormone replacement therapy.  In this episode, Dr. Felice Gersh dives into the role of estrogen in immune function, inflammation, and heart health. Dr. Deb Matthew highlights the importance of assessing cardiovascular risks and hormone balance in perimenopausal and menopausal women to optimize heart health and minimize reliance on statins. Join us as Dr. Matthew and Dr. Gersh share their insights on heart health, hormones, and menopause. Ep. 356: Menopause, Heart Health, and HRT with Dr. Felice Gersh [00:01:53] Dr. Gersh guides listeners in understanding and appreciating the impact of estrogen on immune function, inflammation, and the healing processes within the body. [49:33] Estradiol is vital for heart health, and its decline after menopause can lead to issues like stiffening of the heart, heart failure, and arrhythmias in women. Ep. 325 Menopausal Toolkit: Heart, Brain and Hormonal Health with Dr. Deb Matthew [00:01:30] Most women fear breast cancer more than heart disease, even though cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in women. Yet, clinicians fail to talk enough about the effectiveness of hormone replacement therapy in mitigating the risk of heart disease during perimenopause and menopause.  [00:04:04] While estrogen can benefit the cardiovascular health of women, the risks associated with oral estrogen and synthetic forms, including blood clots and artery plaque instability, have led to hesitancy in using hormone replacement therapy despite its potential long-term benefits when administered correctly. [00:11:26] The balance of hormones like testosterone, DHEA, and cortisol plays a crucial role in cardiovascular health. Imbalances, such as flat cortisol patterns due to stress, potentially increase the risk of heart disease. Dr. Matthew uses tests like coronary artery scans and coronary intima-media thickness to assess cardiovascular risk in patients before considering hormone replacement therapy. [00:20:22] Dr. Matthew emphasizes the importance of advanced lipid testing, addressing the nuances of cholesterol particle size and inflammation, balancing hormones, and optimizing thyroid and blood sugar levels to manage cardiovascular risk instead of immediately resorting to statins.

Why Breast Cancer isn't the giant risk we think it is 4. How taking HRT can change depending on whether you have a uterus 5. Taking HRT after you've beaten breast cancer Once upon a time, we were told that HRT was the best thing in the world.

The Investigation Those of you who have been listening to the show for a while might remember the challenges I had with coloring my hair during the pandemic. This upset to my regular routine led me to seek out a healthy, at home option. I was particularly curious about how dying my hair may have impacted the management of my Hashimoto's. You can hear more about that in Episode 121.  Well, it's been a year since then and I wanted to give you an update. In this episode, I deep dive into the problem with hair dye for people with autoimmunity, Hashimoto's and thyroid issues. Plus, I share my review of Hairprint after one year of continuous use.    The Problem with Traditional Hair Dyes for Autoimmunity and Hypothyroidism Chemicals in hair dye act as immune triggers. This can be a big issue for anyone with an autoimmune disease like Hashimoto's because the immune system is already confused and attacking the thyroid. More confusion means more attacks which can result in a flare up or subtle symptom shifts. If you have hypothyroidism, you may already be dealing with: Hair loss Thinning hair Dry brittle hair Frizzy hair Unfortunately, using traditional hair dye can make it worse.  Traditional hair dyes use harsh chemicals like ammonia or nanolumens to break apart the layers of the hair protein to give the dye access to the hair shaft. Even ammonia-free dyes use chemicals like Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) that are potentially harmful (they're even banned in Canada and the EU). Moreover, chemicals in hair dyes seep into the bloodstream during the dying process, causing harm to the immune system, respiratory system, liver, kidneys, and can trigger serious allergic reactions, hair loss, and hair breakage.   Why You May Want to Avoid the ‘Organic Hair Dyes' The term ‘organic' is not defined, recognized, or regulated by the FDA in the personal care industry. Companies can add natural ingredients and call their hair dyes organic or natural, but it doesn't mean that they're chemical-free.  Often, the added botanical or organic elements have nothing to do with the dyeing process and are there in addition to all the usual chemicals that are in conventional hair dye. It might just be a marketing gimmick.   Hairprint: A Safer Alternative to Traditional Hair Dye? I was thrilled to find Hairprint last year for all of the reasons I listed above. Before I share more about the product, I want to clarify that this is not a sponsored post - I genuinely use the product and love the product. And, in the past year of using it, I've learned a lot about how to get the best results.  First, let me share a bit about Hairprint (in case you missed episode 121). It's a unique product that doesn't break up the hair follicle and degrade it in any way, unlike traditional hair dyes. This makes it a safer alternative for everyone but especially for those with thyroid issues or autoimmune diseases. It actually restores the natural pigment in hair without using harsh chemicals.  How to Apply Hairprint (and Get the Most Out of It) If you've been using Hairprint or plan to use it, it's important to note that it can have a slight drying effect on your hair, even though protein is great for hair. To combat this, I highly recommend hair oiling. You can use moisturizing oils such as amla oil, argan oil, or jojoba oil. You can apply the oil to the full length of your hair or just the ends depending on where you need it and if you want to avoid adding oil to an oily scalp. Now, if you have a dry scalp, you can apply it there as well. Apply the oil 15-20 minutes before shampooing, or even better, leave it in overnight and wash your hair in the morning.  I have noticed a significant improvement in my hair's manageability and moisture since starting this practice. I apply the oils right after I do my Hairprint application and then once a week, or sometimes twice a week if I have time. This has made such a difference for my hair, and I highly recommend it for anyone with dry hair, whether or not you are using Hairprint.   Guilt Free Hair Coloring One of the great things about using Hairprint is that it's natural, so you don't have to feel guilty about coloring your hair more often. You can do it at home without spending a lot of money or spending time traveling to a salon. It's empowering to be your own self-advocate and take control of your hair health.    My Final Take on Hairprint By now, you can tell that I love it. If you have been hesitant to try Hairprint, I encourage you to give it a try and take care of your hair naturally.   Eliminating Health Mysteries If changing how you color your hair can reduce your exposure to toxins, it might just be what you need to shift the scales and help you solve your own health mystery.

Deb Matthew MD, America's Happy Hormones Doctor, wears many hats as a best-selling author, international speaker, private practice doctor, wife, and mom of 4 boys. She helps her patients restore their health by addressing the root cause of their symptoms (including hormone imbalances!) instead of just treating diseases with drugs. After suffering for years with exhaustion and irritability that prevented her from being the wife and mom that she wanted to be, she refocused her medical career to help others get their hormones back in balance. Dr. Deb combined her background in medicine with her interest in fitness and nutrition to create a complete medical wellness approach using scientifically-based treatments to help her patients restore their energy, libido, mood, and memory, as well as lose weight and discontinue many of their prescription medications. As a leader in this field of medicine, Dr. Matthew has proven her level of knowledge repeatedly. She is a Diplomat of the American Board of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine (ABAARM), and the American Board of Integrative Medicine (ABOIM). In her role as an oral board examiner for the ABAARM, she tests other doctors to see if they have the knowledge to become certified as a specialist in this area. She has presented lectures about hormone therapy to forward thinking medical doctors across the US, and around the world in places like Bangkok, Bali, and Dubai, and has had the honor to speak at Harvard where she shared the stage with Suzanne Somers. As President of the North Carolina Integrative Medicine Society, she helps support Integrative/Functional Medicine practitioners in the community and has a goal of shifting the standard of care in medicine towards creating wellness.

Conventional medicine doesn't work for everyone. There are likely millions of people who don't feel right but are told by their physicians that their labs are “normal” and that nothing else can be done for them. If this sounds like you, what should you do? The answer is to see a functional medicine physician. On this podcast I'm joined by a functional medicine doctor, and we reveal the differences between traditional medicine, integrative medicine, and functional medicine. How do you choose between them, and how do you know which type of medicine may be right for you? She gives us some simple tips to help start you on the path to radiant health. Please join me and Dr. Deb Matthew as we reveal What to Do if Conventional Medicine Isn't Working for You.   Link: www.signaturewellness.org  www.isityourhormones.com     Check our Dr. Youn's skincare products and nutritional supplements - younbeauty.com Download his FREE eGuide: "What to Eat to Look Younger" - dryoun.com/eat-look-younger Follow Dr. Youn on Instagram - @tonyyounmd Follow Dr. Youn on YouTube - youtube.com/tonyyounmd Follow Dr. Youn on TikTok - @tonyyounmd Follow Dr. Youn on Facebook - @dryoun

Her quest to restore her own health led her to change everything about how she practices medicine. For the last 14 years, instead of treating diseases with drugs, she has helped over 4,000 women (and men!) get their hormones back in balance to restore their energy, mood, and libido.

Testosterone is more important than estrogen in women. Have I got your attention? Dr. Gary Donovitz joins me to talk about testosterone replacement therapy for men and women. He explains the importance of this hormone in women and why it's more important to focus on it before estrogen.   Benefits of Testosterone Pellets Bone Density Increase Improved Brain Function Better Mood Thicker Hair More Restful Sleep Increased Muscle Function   About Dr. Gary Donovitz Dr. Gary Donovitz is the founder and chairman of BioTE®️ Medical. He is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist. He has sought to provide each patient with compassionate high-quality care for the past 30 years.  After witnessing how bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT, helped one of his patients, Dr. Donovitz dedicated himself to pioneering BHRT through his work with BioTE Medical.  He is an international teacher of BHRT, and his company BioTE Medical is a leading innovator in subcutaneous hormone pellet therapy.  Dr. Donovitz himself has performed more than 50,000 pellet insertions and shared the BioTE method with thousands of practitioners nationwide. He is a current fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, as well as a fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine.  Dr. Donovitz has spent his life- making wellness available for those that traditional medicine has often ignored, and his company, BioTE Medical, is changing the face of health care for us all.   Estrogen and Testosterone for Longevity and Vitality Dr. Gary Donovitz brings his wealth of knowledge in the field of hormone replacement to talk about why so many Americans need this kind of therapy as they age. Testosterone plays such a vital role in both men's and women's health, and he details exactly what role it plays in the body. Over the years, hormone replacement therapy, especially estrogen replacement, has developed a bad reputation. Gary explains why this is and how modern forms of estrogen replacement are safer. As he says, not all estrogen is equal. But, while estrogen is important for women's health, Gary argues that testosterone is actually more important - at least at first. Testosterone begins reducing earlier than estrogen. He says that it's vital to improve testosterone levels early to improve your vitality and longevity.   Symptoms and Side Effects Gary details some of the symptoms of low testosterone in women. Low mood, brain fog, and anxiousness are common symptoms. While more painful menstruation, pain during intercourse, and difficulty getting pregnant are also indications that there is some hormone imbalance. Women with PCOS who tend to have higher levels of androgens and testosterone in their younger years might be apprehensive about starting this type of hormone replacement. However, Gary assures that testosterone replacement is safe, even for women with PCOS. The only difference being that he would start pellets later in life. Americans are more likely to experience hormone imbalances than people from other continents. This is due to the number of plastics and other additives we're faced with every day. Finally, in a moment of full disclosure, we discuss the possible side effects of using testosterone pellets. Gary explains the most common side effects, from some excess hair to increased libido in women and smaller testicles and reduced sperm count in men. As with everything, knowing the possible side effects makes it easier to make an informed decision. Have you noticed any symptoms of reduced testosterone? How have you tried to improve your hormone counts naturally?

It is an important hormone.” [11:45] “Not all estrogens are created equal. That's the take-home message.” [17:51] “So many people think hormones are dangerous - but what if they're not? Patients and physicians have to be reeducated because there are all these fears about hormones and whether they're safe.” [32:15]   In This Episode Why testosterone is important for men's health [9:00] What role testosterone has in women's health [13:15] What effect different forms of estrogen replacement have on the body [17:00] Why testosterone matters more at first than estrogen [20:00] Some of the symptoms of low testosterone in menopause [21:00] How testosterone impacts women with PCOS [27:30] Why American women have more hormone reduction than women on other continents [43:50] Possible side effects of testosterone replacement therapy [50:00]   Links & Resources Use code ESTROGENDETOX for 10% off Dim Use code LIVERDETOX for 10% off Core Restore   Visit My Clinic, the Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic, to find out more about testosterone pellets in Iowa.
