If you've ever had urinary symptoms that antibiotics didn't fix — and your cultures kept coming back negative — this episode is for you.A new 2026 study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine followed 253 women with recurrent UTIs and persistent urogenital symptoms despite negative urine cultures. What researchers found reframes everything: 85% of these women had hormonally mediated vestibulodynia, 75% had pelvic floor hypertonicity, and only 15% had a classic urologic cause for their symptoms.This isn't a bladder problem. It's a hormone problem — and the vulvar vestibule, urethra, and bladder are one integrated, estrogen- and androgen-responsive system. Whether it presents as genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) in a postmenopausal woman or hormonally mediated vestibulodynia in a younger one, the tissue-level pathophysiology is the same.In this episode, Dr. Carolyn Moyers breaks down:• Why persistent urinary symptoms after negative cultures have a hormonal explanation• The shared embryologic origin of the vestibule, urethra, and bladder trigone — and why it matters• How androgen deficiency drives vestibular inflammation, pelvic floor guarding, and bladder dysfunction in a self-perpetuating cycle• Why this affects premenopausal women too — 98.9% of premenopausal patients in the study had below-range free testosterone• What the Rubin et al. 2025 data adds: vaginal prasterone (DHEA) was associated with meaningfully lower UTI rates in women with vulvovaginal atrophy — treating the hormone environment changed the urological outcome• What integrated treatment looks like — vaginal estrogen for GSM, compounded estradiol/testosterone gel for vestibulodynia, pelvic floor PT for hypertonic muscles• The honest limits of this research: selection bias, non-uniform hormonal evaluation, absence of long-term outcome data — and what prospective studies still need to answerThis episode builds directly on Episode 149 — When Sex Hurts with Dr. Jill Krapf.

If you are waking up between 2:00 and 4:00 AM, lying there wide awake with your heart beating a little too fast and your mind solving every problem in your life, this episode is for you. Because this is not just about bad sleep. It is about what happens when the hormonal, adrenal, and nervous system shifts of midlife collide with the stress load most women are already carrying. And for a lot of women, this is the moment they stop feeling like themselves. In this episode, I do a deep dive into what is actually happening beneath the surface when women in perimenopause and menopause start feeling wired, tired, fragile, overwhelmed, anxious, and unable to recover the way they used to. We talk about the HPA axis, cortisol rhythm, DHEA, blood sugar, stress intolerance, adrenal strain, and why the advice women are getting online is often way too surface level to actually help. I also share what this has looked like in my own body, why midlife can feel like the season where your body stops tolerating the way you have been living, and why that is not a personal failure. It is physiology. This episode lays the foundation for understanding the deeper systems driving midlife sleep disruption and stress dysregulation, so you can stop blaming yourself and start getting clearer on what your body may actually need. In this episode, we cover: Why 2:00 to 4:00 AM wakeups are so common in perimenopause and menopause The difference between being tired and being hormonally and neurologically dysregulated What the HPA axis is and why it matters for stress and sleep How estrogen and progesterone affect stress resilience and recovery Why cortisol is not the enemy, but timing matters How cortisol dysregulation can affect sleep, anxiety, belly fat, and energy Why DHEA is one of the most overlooked hormones in midlife The connection between blood sugar drops and middle-of-the-night wakeups Why the old coping strategies stop working in midlife Why testing cortisol rhythm and DHEA can be so helpful Who this episode is for This episode is for women in perimenopause and menopause who are struggling with broken sleep, 3 AM wakeups, stress intolerance, fatigue, anxiety, feeling wired at night, crashing in the morning, or just feeling like they cannot handle life the way they used to. It is especially for women who want to understand the deeper physiology behind what is happening instead of being told to just relax, meditate, or take one supplement and hope for the best.     Sponsors Try Vitali Exosomes Skin Care vitaliskincare.com use coupon KM20 to get 20% off your order!

DHEA is one of the most misunderstood hormones in the coaching and health space, and most of the social media conversation around it either oversells the supplement or misses the underlying physiology entirely. Inside today's episode, I break down DHEA and DHEA sulfate, the difference between the two. *NOTE: in this episode I refer to PMOS as PCOS - to learn more about PMOS, check out episode S 905Topics discussed: - DHEA vs DHEA Sulfate- The DHEA-to-Cortisol Ratio- Menstrual Cycle Testing Considerations- Age-Related Decline Patterns- Causes of Low DHEA Sulfate- Hyperandrogenic PCOS and Male PCOS Presentation- Oral Contraceptives and Testosterone Restoration- Immune Effects and Autoimmune Applications- Postmenopausal Supplementation- Cognition, Stress, and Where Supplements Fall Short---------- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Live Program for Coaches: The Functional Nutrition and Metabolism Specialization ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.metabolismschool.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- [Free] Metabolism School 101: The Video Series⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.metabolismschool.com/metabolism-101⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------Subscribe to My Youtube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@sammillerscience?si=s1jcR6Im4GDHbw_1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Grab a Copy of My New Book - Metabolism Made Simple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠---------- Stay Connected: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: SamMillerScience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: The Nutrition Coaching Collaborative Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: @sammillerscience⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠----------“This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Are your hormones running your life, and not in a good way? If you are struggling with fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, or sleepless nights, this episode is the missing piece you have been looking for. Understanding hormone balance is not just about estrogen and progesterone. It starts much earlier in the hormonal chain, and getting to the root cause changes everything.In this episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, host Jenn Trepeck sits down with Dr. Andrea Colon, a naturopathic doctor and founder of Reclaim Integrative in Newport Beach, California, who specializes in women's hormone health and metabolic medicine. Together, they walk through the steps for lifestyle, nutrition, supplementation, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to restore balance, energy, and vitality. From understanding why cortisol imbalance is the upstream driver of so many symptoms women dismiss as inevitable aging, to exploring how to balance hormones naturally for women before ever adding HRT, this conversation is both practical and empowering.What You Will Learn in This Episode:✅ Why cortisol imbalance is the overlooked driver behind perimenopause symptoms, disrupted sleep, and stubborn menopause weight gain, and how chronic stress depletes your hormone production over time✅ How to use foundational nutrition strategies, including adequate protein intake, quality carbohydrates, and consistent meals, to begin restoring hormone balance before reaching for supplements or medications✅ Which key micronutrients, including vitamin D, iron, and B vitamins, are commonly depleted in women and how those deficiencies directly suppress healthy hormone function✅ How practitioners assess when lifestyle and herbs are enough versus when bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is the appropriate next step, including the role of pregnenolone, DHEA, and testosterone in womenThe Salad With a Side of Fries podcast, hosted by Jenn Trepeck, explores real-life wellness and weight-loss topics, debunking myths, misinformation, and flawed science surrounding nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Dr. Andrea Colon shares why restrictive diets backfire and how skipping meals worsens cortisol imbalance and hormone balance in women03:54 Dr. Colon shares her personal journey to naturopathic medicine after battling cystic acne 06:48 How stress and hormones connect and why women in their early 40s are entering perimenopause earlier due to cortisol09:16 Nutrition foundations for hormone balance, including protein, complex carbs, and avoiding coffee on an empty stomach 12:04 The truth about exercise and cortisol, why over-training causes menopause, weight gain and disrupts hormone function 14:39 Why sleep is the most underrated tool for hormone health and why catching up on sleep is a myth 18:53 Supplement strategies including vitamin D, iron, B vitamins, ashwagandha, and rhodiola for adrenal support 23:29 When to consider bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, including pellets, patches, creams, and pregnenolone29:05 Using a GLP-1 properly and when it is neededKEY TAKEAWAYS:

In this CIRS Group Podcast episode, Jacie and Barbara cover phase four of the Shoemaker Protocol, focused on restoring normal metabolic function after biotoxin elimination. They explain that this phase may include supporting detox pathways for “normal” toxins and heavy metals (e.g., daily bowel movements, B vitamins, methylation support, sauna or hot baths, lymphatic techniques, and using binders like charcoal or clay for inorganic toxins), addressing androgen/sex hormone imbalance linked to low MSH (including signs of low testosterone or estrogen dominance, supplementing DHEA), and correcting fluid/electrolyte balance via ADH regulation (symptoms like thirst, frequent urination, nocturia, and static shocks). They discuss electrolyte options, a DIY recipe, and provider-monitored desmopressin if needed, and note this phase can also involve investigating other lingering issues or co-infections before moving to phase five.

Your doctor probably didn't have answers to these questions. And that's not a slight. It's just the truth.This week I went straight to my Facebook community and asked for their real questions. What came back wasn't a list of random health curiosities. It was a snapshot of exactly what women are carrying right now. Thyroid confusion. Autoimmune diagnoses with zero real explanations. Environmental exposures nobody's investigating. Hereditary labels being used to shut the conversation down. Postsurgical symptoms written off as aging. And one woman doing the work one change at a time, just wanting to know if she's on the right track.She is. And so are you.I answered every single one of these questions. Because these are the root cause questions. The why questions. The ones worth asking.Inside this episode, we cover:Why your thyroid dose keeps going up every six months, and what it's actually signalingHow mold and environmental toxins drive chronic illness in ways the standard of care doesn't test forWhat I truly believe causes lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and autoimmunity, and what actually helps people function betterWhy "hereditary" gets used as a conversation ender too quickly, and what to ask insteadHow to implement changes from the book without overwhelming your systemWhat surgical menopause does to your hormones, and why what you're experiencing is not just agingThe liver scarring question: what's actually possible, and what deserves honestyIf you've been handed a diagnosis with no explanation. If you've been told something is genetic, incurable, or inevitable. If you've been quietly asking "is there something more?" This episode is your answer.Yes. There is something more.Share this episode with one woman who's been told to just accept it. She deserves better than that.Your next steps are below:✨ Free Guide: 9 Hidden Signs Your Metabolism Is Stuck in Survival Mode www.drkaceywallace.com/hiddenmetabolicmess✨ Adrenal Optimization Test (see your cortisol rhythm + DHEA clearly) www.drkaceywallace.com/innercalm✨ Resiliency Reboot Program www.drkaceywallace.com/resiliencyreboot✨ Get the book: You Are Not Fine www.youarenotfine.comSupport the show

The Precursor hormone DHEA. What it is and what it does, and how to use it correctly.DHEA is an anti-aging supplement. It does give an advantage. It is shown to play a role in improving libido, building muscle, and reducing risks of cardiovascular disease and cancer.To help us to share the health benefits of DHEA we have 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 the past 20+ years of his life to studying medical research about it, and starting a company to research, and develop the safest most effective DHEA supplement (cream) that can be made and distributed.DHEA is short for dehydroepiandrosterone, it is a naturally occurring prohormone we all make and have. DHEA is the most abundant naturally occurring prohormone in the human body.-A foundation or base building block for other smaller more specific hormones like testosterone and estrogens and about 50 other hormones that are smaller, more specific carbon chain molecules in the cascade of metabolism in the human body.-Hormones drive our energy, mood, muscle tone, fat, quality of sleep, mental sharpness, immune system, sex drive, and more.As a result of aging, and a gradual lowering of natural DHEA production after age 25, many of our natural body processes begin to slow down. As a result, most people start to have less energy and gain weight, have lower sex drive, and tend to start losing their mental sharpness and drive, have trouble sleeping and may start to get sick more often.Learn more at Twist25.com or call Health2Go with questions 1(888)489-4782

„DHEA wird heute immer häufiger als eines der Alterungshormone diskutiert.“ Die meisten Menschen haben noch nie von DHEA gehört. Dabei spielt dieses Hormon eine zentrale Rolle in unserem Körper. DHEA, ausgeschrieben Dehydroepiandrosteron, wird vor allem in der Nebennierenrinde gebildet und dient als wichtige Vorstufe für Hormone wie Testosteron und Östrogen. Besonders spannend: Die körpereigene Produktion erreicht ihren Höhepunkt meist bereits zwischen dem 20. und 30. Lebensjahr. Danach sinken die Werte kontinuierlich. Podcast-Host Felix Moese und Gesundheitswissenschaftler Matthias Baum ordnen die aktuelle Forschung rund um DHEA ein. Denn Wissenschaftler interessieren sich zunehmend für die Frage, ob DHEA lediglich ein Marker biologischer Alterung ist oder selbst aktiv an Alterungsprozessen beteiligt sein könnte. Niedrige DHEA-Werte werden unter anderem mit Muskelabbau, verminderter Belastbarkeit, Stoffwechselstörungen und einer beschleunigten biologischen Alterung in Verbindung gebracht. Besonders interessant: DHEA ist weit mehr als nur eine Hormonvorstufe. Als sogenanntes Neurosteroid könnte es auch Einfluss auf Gehirn, Stressresistenz und Entzündungsprozesse im Nervensystem haben. Deshalb untersucht die Forschung aktuell mögliche Zusammenhänge mit Alzheimer, kognitivem Abbau, Depressionen und anderen neurodegenerativen Erkrankungen. Gleichzeitig spielt die Wechselwirkung zwischen DHEA und dem Stresshormon Cortisol eine immer größere Rolle in der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion. HEALTH NERDS. Mensch, einfach erklärt.

Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, an Integrative Medicine physician, researcher, and best-selling author specializing in chronic fatigue syndrome, details “adrenal fatigue,” contrasting Endocrine Society guidelines focused on overt adrenal failure with his view that the adrenals can be functionally exhausted and may be missed by standard testing and “normal ranges.” They discuss adrenal roles in stress response, blood sugar regulation, blood pressure, immunity, and symptoms suggesting low adrenal function (irritability when hungry, sugar cravings, fatigue, recurrent infections, lightheadedness/brain fog, mood shifts). Contributors include high sugar intake, chronic stress, dehydration, and salt restriction, with modern media fear/divisiveness cited as a major stressor; hypothalamic dysfunction and circadian rhythm disruption may cause “tired but wired” insomnia. They cover options such as licorice (not DGL), dietary and lifestyle changes, Adrenaplex, adaptogens (ashwagandha standards, HRG80 red ginseng study), phosphatidylserine for high nighttime cortisol, cautious low-dose hydrocortisone thresholds, and DHEA/pregnenolone considerations, plus resources at endfatigue.com.

If you've ever been told your labs are normal while your body feels like it's falling apart. This episode is for you.Because autoimmune disease rarely starts at the diagnosis. It starts years earlier. In the gray zone. Where you're symptomatic enough to suffer but not sick enough to qualify. Where the system keeps telling you to wait and see while your body keeps getting louder.Today I'm talking about what I call autoimmunity before the autoimmunity. That phase where immune dysregulation is already running the show, but no one has given it a name yet. I'm walking you through why the referral cycle fails women in this phase, what pre-autoimmune patterns actually look like in real life, and why inflammation is never the root cause. It's the dashboard light.I'm also sharing the story of a patient I call Mandy. She did everything right. She went to every appointment. She waited through every referral. And every time, she left with some version of "you're fine." She wasn't fine. And once we stopped waiting for a diagnosis to give her permission to heal, everything changed.Inside this episode, we cover:Why the diagnosis lag is not prevention. It's delayed action.What the gray zone actually looks like in your body.Why the referral cycle is designed to rule out disease, not restore function.The internal stressors driving immune activation that no one is talking about.The three buckets: Reset, Repair, Rebuild, and why sequence matters.Why chasing inflammation keeps you stuck in the supplement cycle.If you've been bounced between specialists with no answers. If your imaging came back normal but your body didn't feel that way. If you've started wondering whether you're just being dramatic. You're not. Your physiology is loud, and it's been trying to tell you something.Share this episode with one woman who's been told she's fine when she knows she's not.

It is time for some real talk, ladies. In this episode, Dr. Jen tackles a massive, frustrating trend in the hormone world: the widespread overdosing of women on Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). While bioidentical hormones are a beautiful, transformative tool, the functional and conventional medicine spaces are treating women like "small men," pushing testosterone levels far beyond what a female physiology can handle. Dr. Jen dives deep into why more isn't better, how too much testosterone fries your hormone receptors, and the beautiful reality that your feminine vitality and libido are actually driven by estrogen and progesterone—not high doses of testosterone. Themes Overdosed TRT causes a temporary, addictive surge of energy before completely frying receptor sites, leaving women crashed, depressed, and chasing that initial feeling. For most women, a healthy total testosterone level sits safely between 5 and 35 ng/dL. Anything consistently pushed above 50 ng/dL is typically a red flag. Contrary to popular belief, a woman's libido and juicy vitality are fundamentally driven by estrogen, not testosterone. True hormone optimization always starts with the mother hormone, progesterone, followed by estrogen, then the precursor DHEA. Testosterone should only ever be the final, carefully adjusted piece of the puzzle. If your hormone protocol makes you feel overstimulated, moody, or "wrong," stop blaming your body. Trust your inner compass and look for bio-individualized care.   Connect with Jen:

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 5-14-2026: An emailer from Switzerland follows up on the case of neurological symptoms, warning about the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis from unwashed garden vegetables and tick-borne encephalitis requiring the FSME vaccine available in Europe. Dr. Dawn adds that cysticercosis from undercooked pork leaves calcified brain lesions detectable on CT scans. Dr. Dawn covers the Andes hantavirus outbreak that sickened at least eleven people on a cruise ship, with the virus spreading person-to-person unlike other hantaviruses. She explains that Andes virus grows to unusually high levels in blood and resists antimicrobial compounds in human saliva, with super-spreaders driving transmission chains. British paratroopers had to parachute medical supplies to an infected passenger on remote Tristan da Cunha island. Dr. Dawn reviews brain health supplements with UCLA longevity expert Gary Small. Both recommend curcumin (500-1,000mg) for anti-inflammatory effects and CoQ10 for statin users. She endorses multivitamins and high-quality fish oil but considers creatine, phosphatidylserine, and nicotinamide riboside insufficiently proven for cognitive enhancement. A caller asks about supplements and testosterone for a 77-year-old. Dr. Dawn recommends topical testosterone (patches, creams, gels) over injections to avoid testicular shrinkage and elevated sex hormone-binding globulin. She emphasizes protein intake matching one's age in grams, branched-chain amino acids during exercise, and warns against fasted training after age 65. An emailer shares news that PCOS is being renamed to polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS) because many patients lack ovarian cysts, and genetic males can also have the condition. Dr. Dawn explains it's fundamentally an endocrine and metabolic disorder involving insulin resistance, elevated testosterone, and DHEA dysregulation. A study found that infrasound—low-frequency sound below human hearing range—elevated cortisol and worsened mood in subjects who didn't know and couldn't detect it was playing. Old buildings generate infrasound through aging boilers, ventilation ducts, and metal pipes, potentially explaining why, beyond autosuggestion, that old "haunted" houses feel spooky.

Dr. Tami Rowen, renowned expert in sexual medicine and menopause, joins Dr. Rena Malik to discuss the neuroscience of female sexual desire, FDA-approved treatments, the impact of birth control on hormones, the difference between perimenopause and menopause, the role of testosterone and progesterone, and how to separate evidence from marketing in hormone therapy. They also address common myths, the importance of physical health, optimizing sexual wellness, and the critical role of relationships in long-term health and happiness.

Functional Diagnostic Nutrition: Using Saliva Testing, Food Sensitivity Labs, and Lifestyle to Find Root Causes: Reed Davis, Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (HHP) and Certified Nutritional Therapist (CNT), is founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN). He discusses using functional testing alongside conventional care to uncover “dysfunction” when standard labs appear normal. Davis describes assessing adrenal and metabolic stress via saliva testing for circadian cortisol patterns, cortisol-DHEA balance, sex hormones, secretory IgA, and melatonin, emphasizing clinical correlation and individualized “studies of one.” He outlines an approach targeting multiple “healing opportunities” (H-I-D-D-E-N: hormones, immune, digestion, detoxification, energy, nervous system) and applying D-R-E-S-S (diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction, supplementation) rather than relying on supplements alone. A case example links chronic hives, medication-related weight gain, and food triggers identified through additional testing, including the Mediator Release Test. The discussion also covers stress-driven gut dysbiosis, digestion decline, and EFT tapping for stress-related symptoms, and notes FDN practitioners can be found via FDNtraining.com/medicine.

What happens when three menopause podcasters sit down together with zero intention of staying surface level? You get a smart, honest, hilarious, and deeply validating conversation about some of the biggest midlife topics women are trying to figure out right now. In this roundtable episode, we get into bone health, hormone testing, HRT mistakes, libido, trauma, desire, and the much bigger cultural story around what menopause is actually meant to be. We talk openly about why so many midlife women feel disconnected from sex, why female arousal is so misunderstood, and how much emotional baggage, conditioning, and nervous system overload shape the whole experience. And finally, we end on a much bigger and more hopeful note: maybe menopause is not a decline at all. Maybe it is a threshold into wisdom, authority, healing, and a version of womanhood our culture has forgotten how to honor. In this episode, we cover: Why more women in their 40s and 50s are discovering osteopenia and low bone density earlier than expected The difference between DEXA scans and REMS scans, and why bone quality matters, not just bone density Estradiol, bone protection, and why some women may need more than a tiny dose of HRT The debate around testing hormones in perimenopause and why symptoms alone do not always tell the full story Why thyroid, cortisol, DHEA, progesterone, and estrogen symptoms can overlap in confusing ways What can go wrong when women are given HRT without the right assessment or follow-up Why libido is far more complex than just low testosterone or low desire How guilt, fear, shame, trauma, and nervous system overload affect female arousal Why so many women feel "broken" around sex when they are actually having a very normal response The spiritual and cultural meaning of menopause as a transition into wisdom, power, and authority Who this episode is for This episode is for women in perimenopause and menopause who want a more honest conversation about what is really happening in midlife. It is especially for women who are worried about bone loss, confused about hormone testing, frustrated by bad HRT experiences, struggling with libido, or craving a more empowering way to think about menopause than the usual narrative of decline.

Good overall health for women requires good vaginal health.  Good vaginal health requires your lube to be made of high quality ingredients.   This is applicable for all women using lube vaginally, but especially around the time of perimenopause when vaginal dryness becomes more common, vaginal pH often starts to shift, the vaginal microbiome often changes and risk of infections goes up.  Most lubes can make all of those things worse, not to mention introducing toxins into your systemic circulation.  It's time to become more discerning about your lube ingredients.  The typical ones sold in grocery stores are not good enough for you.Reminder of our criteria we require our lube to meet: 1- Won't raise your vaginal pH 2- Won't alter your microbiome 3- Is isosmotic (matters for water based only)4- Doesn't contain any harmful ingredients (ie. any type of paraben, chlorhexidine gluconate, nonoxonol 9, propylene glycol, glycerin, fragrances, petroleum based oils, quaternium 15, polyquaternium 15, benzocaine, menthol, or any type of sugar)  Sex therapist Amanda Louder's podcast notes that list pH of different lubes and osmolality of different lubes:  https://amandalouder.com/podcast/295/ Dr. Anna Cabeca's waitlist for her lube, VelvėHer daily vaginal moisturizer with DHEA, Julva: $60.16Brands mentioned on “The Good List” of this episode:Coconu - both water based and oil based lubes $23Uberlube - silicone based $22Sutil - Especially promoted to women with a drop in estrogen $18Good Clean Love $15Aloe Cadabara flavored and unflavored $10Desert Harvest $22Sliquid $22My website: www.healthcouragecollective.com - let's hang out and get you confident and at peace about your hormone health and on track to not have to stop living before you die!Are you ready to give your cells their best chance to not have to stop living before they die by allowing them access to physiologic levels of hormones, but aren't sure how to even get started?  Join the waitlist for my new beta program here and help me figure out how best to help wonderful women like you get the hormone care they deserve!Join the Waitlist HereCome visit me: www.healthcouragecollective.comemail me: healthcouragecollective@gmail.com

Episode 369: Dr. Kelly Casperson, interviewed by Sarah Reardon What happens when a urologic surgeon who has spent years treating women's bladder and sexual health sits down to answer every question she wishes her patients had asked sooner? You get this episode. In a role reversal from her usual hosting chair, Dr. Kelly Casperson is interviewed by Sarah Reardon for a wide-ranging, myth-busting conversation on perimenopause, hormone therapy, and what it actually means to advocate for yourself in a medical system that has historically under-served women. No gatekeeping. No fear-mongering. Just the science, the nuance, and the permission to want more. Perimenopause is not just hot flashes. The hormonal shifts of perimenopause and menopause affect your bladder, your sleep, your joints, your skin, your mood, and your sex life — often years before your period stops. Kelly breaks down what's actually happening biologically and why so many women are told their symptoms are "just aging." Local estrogen and systemic HRT are not the same thing — and you may need both. Vaginal estrogen treats the tissue. Systemic hormone therapy treats the whole person. Kelly explains the difference, who benefits from each, and how to have an informed conversation with your provider about what's right for you. DHEA and testosterone belong in the conversation. These hormones are not just for men. Kelly covers the evidence for testosterone and DHEA in women's health — including delivery methods, indications, and why so many women are never offered them. Finding a knowledgeable provider is hard. Here's how to do it. Not every clinician is trained in hormone therapy. Kelly talks about how to identify providers who are, and how to self-educate enough to advocate effectively in any appointment. Gut health, exercise, and alcohol all matter — but not instead of hormones. Lifestyle strategies can amplify hormone therapy; they're not a replacement for it. Kelly cuts through the supplement noise and explains what the evidence actually supports. Gender bias is real, and naming it is the first step. From the Women's Health Initiative fallout to the way women's pain is routinely minimized, Kelly addresses the systemic forces that have shaped (and limited) what women are offered — and how to push back.

I've been sitting on something for a long time… and honestly, sharing it feels a little terrifying.Because this one is personal.In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on why I wrote this book—the moment everything shifted, the experience that changed how I practice medicine, and the woman I could not stop thinking about while writing every page.She's exhausted in a way sleep doesn't fix.She's done everything right… and her body still isn't responding.She's been told, “everything looks fine.”But she knows she's not.I've been that woman.And I've sat across from her hundreds of times.This episode isn't a clinical deep dive—it's a story.A story about the gap between “normal” and actually well.A story about what's really happening in your body when you feel tired, foggy, reactive, and stuck.And a story about why this book had to exist.Inside this episode, we talk about:The moment I realized “fine” was not the right answerWhat conventional medicine misses (and why it's not your doctor's fault)How I became the patient—and what I discoveredThe connection between metabolism, hormones, and brain healthWhy symptoms in your 40s and 50s matter more than you've been toldAnd how this book gives you a clear, root-cause roadmap forwardIf you've ever felt dismissed…If your labs came back “normal” but your body didn't feel that way…If you've quietly wondered, “Is this just my life now?”This episode is for you.✨ The book launches May 6th at 10 AM—and your support that day helps this message reach the women who need it most.Think of one woman in your life who needs this.Send her this episode.And let's make sure she knows—she's not crazy, she's not broken, and there is a path forward.If you're ready to go deeper, here are your next steps:✨ Free Guide: 9 Hidden Signs Your Metabolism Is Stuck in Survival Modewww.drkaceywallace.com/hiddenmetabolicmess✨ Adrenal Optimization Test (see your cortisol rhythm + DHEA clearly)www.drkaceywallace.com/innercalm✨ Resiliency Reboot Programwww.drkaceywallace.com/resiliencyrebootSupport the show

Today we will be covering the hormone DHEA. What it is and what it does, and how to use it correctly.DHEA is an anti-aging supplement. It does give an advantage. It is shown to play a role in improving libido, building muscle, and reducing risks of cardiovascular disease and cancer.To help us to share the health benefits of DHEA we have 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 the past 20+ years of his life to studying medical research about it, and starting a company to research, and develop the safest most effective DHEA supplement (cream) that can be made and distributed.DHEA is short for dehydroepiandrosterone, it is a naturally occurring prohormone we all make and have. DHEA is the most abundant naturally occurring prohormone in the human body.-A foundation or base building block for other smaller more specific hormones like testosterone and estrogens and about 50 other hormones that are smaller, more specific carbon chain molecules in the cascade of metabolism in the human body.-Hormones drive our energy, mood, muscle tone, fat, quality of sleep, mental sharpness, immune system, sex drive, and more.As a result of aging, and a gradual lowering of natural DHEA production after age 25, many of our natural body processes begin to slow down. As a result, most people start to have less energy and gain weight, have lower sex drive, and tend to start losing their mental sharpness and drive, have trouble sleeping and may start to get sick more often.Learn more at Twist25.com or call Health2Go with questions 1(888)489-4782

Dr. Natalie Crawford, board-certified OB-GYN and REI, answers your fertility questions. What is your current interpretation of the scientific evidence on DHEA supplementation for women with low ovarian reserve and advanced maternal age who are preparing for IVF? Can you use retinol skincare products while trying to conceive, or should they be avoided during TTC? For someone in their early 30s who has been trying to conceive for over two years with no positive pregnancy tests and has completed multiple IUIs without success, what would you recommend as next steps or further evaluation? What does it mean if someone notices type 4 cervical mucus occurring twice in a cycle, including again right before their period? For a male partner taking finasteride for several years, is there evidence that it affects sperm quality or fertility outcomes, and should it be stopped when trying to conceive? In lean PCOS, what additional steps can be taken before trying to conceive to help regulate ovulation and hormone balance, especially when cycles are irregular and progesterone is being used to induce a bleed? How do varicoceles impact fertility outcomes even when a standard semen analysis appears normal, and what should patients understand about “normal” lab results versus actual sperm quality? Is there anything that can be done to prevent varicoceles, and what causes them to develop in the first place? When a semen analysis is reported as normal, how should patients and clinicians interpret that result, and what deeper factors might still need to be considered?

If you have tried every diet, every supplement, and every stress management trick only to find yourself still battling bloating, brain fog, or unexplained anxiety, this conversation is for you. In this re-air of a listener-favorite episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely welcomes Tina Anderson, a former pharmaceutical insider who left the world of conventional medicine to build something different. After witnessing firsthand how the system prioritizes disease management over true health, Tina and her husband created a company rooted in a radical idea: real wellness starts in the gut. Tina and Dr. Lovely explore the often misunderstood connection between the microbiome and mental health, revealing how inflammation, leaky gut, and even joint pain can trace their roots back to digestive imbalances. They challenge the toxic "Stress Badge of Honour" that so many women wear, arguing that feeling peaceful is not a luxury but a biological necessity. The discussion covers how supporting gut health can build genuine resilience, improve mood, and offer new tools for managing the anxiety and depression that frequently accompany perimenopause and menopause—areas where conventional medicine has often fallen short. For anyone struggling with persistent digestive issues, chronic inflammation, or mental health challenges that won't budge, this episode offers a fresh, science-informed path forward rooted in the wisdom of the microbiome.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 4-02-2026: Dr. Dawn briefly responds to an emailer in Aptos, advising that her numbers don't require rushing into therapy but recommending a more thorough workup. An emailer asks about her sister's osteoporosis treatment, including Reclast side effects and vitamin D levels of 28. Dr. Dawn recommends raising vitamin D to around 50, adding vitamin K2 (MK7-9) and calcium, and suggests weekly oral Fosamax as an alternative to annual Reclast infusions that cause week-long flu-like symptoms. A caller reports dizziness when sitting up in bed and recent fainting episodes during hot weather. Dr. Dawn distinguishes vestibular problems from postural hypotension — spinning dizziness when legs are still in bed suggests loose otoliths in the semicircular canals rather than blood pressure issues. She recommends the Dr. Foster vestibular exercises and increased fluid and salt intake. Cancer survival has reached a major milestone: 70% of U.S. patients now survive at least five years, up from 50% in the 1970s, thanks to reduced smoking and advances like immunotherapy and checkpoint inhibitors. An Estonian Biobank study of 67,000 adults found men's libido peaks in their early 40s while women's peaks in their 20s-30s with sharper decline around age 50, though testosterone levels begin falling in men's early 30s. Dr. Dawn frames perimenopause and menopause as natural transitions rather than diseases, explaining that perimenopausal hormone swings can actually be larger and more erratic than during fertile years. She recommends limiting caffeine (which is metabolized more slowly after menopause), alcohol, and spicy foods, and strongly advocates transdermal bioidentical hormones over oral synthetics—oral estrogen increases clotting risk 400% while transdermal carries no increased risk. An emailer asks about transcranial magnetic stimulation for depression. Dr. Dawn explains that while the technology works and shows benefit in studies, targeting remains challenging because each person's brain architecture differs based on individual developmental experiences. Researchers found that applying gamma-frequency electrical stimulation (40-90 Hz) to frontal and parietal lobes made participants more likely to choose generous money-splitting options with strangers, suggesting brain stimulation can nudge social decision-making toward altruism. A small Indian study found that daily conch shell blowing reduced sleep apnea symptoms by 34% after six months, similar to earlier didgeridoo research—blowing against resistance strengthens airway muscles and increases resting muscle tone during sleep.

In this profoundly moving and eye-opening episode, Dr. Fiona Lovely welcomes back Dr. Tammy O'Rourke, a Nurse Practitioner with a PhD and a leading voice in hormone health. While their last conversation focused on advocating for patients, this time, Dr. O'Rourke shares a harrowing personal health journey that began with symptoms easily dismissed as menopausal—bloating, fatigue, and reflux. What followed was a terrifying navigation of a healthcare system that seemed designed to fail her, despite her own expertise. Dr. O'Rourke details the delays, the dismissals, and the bureaucratic barriers that turned a treatable condition into a stage 3C ovarian cancer diagnosis. Listeners will hear how her intuition, combined with the unwavering advocacy of her husband, led her to seek care in the United States for a specialized CRS HIPEC surgery—a life-saving procedure not readily accessible in Canada. This episode is a powerful testament to the importance of self-advocacy, highlighting the specific risks for women with a history of endometriosis and fibroids. Dr. O'Rourke emphasizes the critical need for women to never give up control of their hormone health, to trust their gut, and to pursue second opinions, even when the system pushes back. It's a story of survival, systemic failure, and the urgent call for better care for all women. In this episode, they talk about: The shocking reality of navigating a universal healthcare system during a cancer crisis How endometriosis and fibroids significantly increase the risk of ovarian cancer The crucial role of the CA-125 blood test and pelvic ultrasound in early detection The life-saving potential of CRS HIPEC surgery and why it's not widely available in Canada Tune in to hear how one of the country's leading hormone experts had to fight for her own life, and learn the steps you can take to ensure you don't get left behind.

Curious about supplements that promise to “fix” your hormones? In this episode, we take a closer look at DHEA—often called the “anti-aging hormone”—and whether it actually lives up to the hype for people with thyroid conditions. You'll learn what DHEA does in your body, why levels naturally decline with age, and how it connects to other key hormones like estrogen and testosterone.But here's where it gets interesting: while some people with hypothyroidism may have lower DHEA levels—and even share symptoms like fatigue and low libido—the science is still far from clear. We break down what the research really says (and doesn't say), who might benefit, and the surprising risks you need to know before trying it. 

DHEA's perks for mood, bones, and immunity Curious about DHEA and healthy aging? In this episode of Live Foreverish, Dr. Mike and Dr. Crystal break down what happens as DHEA levels decline with age, why it matters, and how to know if it's something you should replace. #LELEARN #EDULFsocial

Send us Fan MailHot flashes that hijack your day and wreck your sleep are more than a nuisance—they're a brain‑level problem with real solutions. Speaking of Women's Health Podcast host Dr. Holly Thacker sits down with Dr. Nayoung Sung from Cleveland Clinic's Center for Specialized Women's Health to unpack a new non‑hormonal therapy, Lynkuet® (elinzanetant).For listeners weighing options, Dr. Sung and Dr. Thacker lay out who benefits most from non‑hormonal care—those with clotting risks, estrogen‑sensitive cancers, or simple preference to avoid hormones—and where low‑dose paroxetine, venlafaxine, gabapentin, and oxybutynin still fit when personalized thoughtfully.Relief should also respect the rest of your health. We dive into sexual wellness with local vaginal estrogen or DHEA for tissue comfort, and we zoom out to the metabolic picture: abdominal weight gain, high triglycerides, insulin resistance, and inflammation that magnify heat, pain, and brain fog. Dr. Sung shares early findings on omega‑3 and omega‑6 balance, ferritin, zinc, and CRP—and how small diet shifts and targeted testing can support clearer thinking and steadier energy alongside symptom control.If you're searching for safe, swift, and truly personalized menopause care, this conversation delivers.

Welcome back to Ask the Egg Whisperer! I'm so excited to have Dr. Steven Palter join me on today's episode. Dr. Palter is the medical and scientific director at Gold Coast IVF in Woodbury, New York, and an internationally recognized leader in fertility treatment. He's also the creator of the PCOS to Pregnancy Protocol -  the first comprehensive remote system targeting the root causes of PCOS and the Palter Fertility Method, a personalized approach to diagnosis and care that integrates metabolic health, surgical precision, and emerging reproductive technologies. Watch the full conversation (with more live chatted questions) on Dr. Aimee's Instagram Live.  In this episode, we tackle real questions from our community (women ranging from 36 to 47), dealing with everything from diminished ovarian reserve and repeated IVF failure to PCOS, endometriosis, and experimental treatments like mitochondrial replacement therapy. Dr. Palter and I don't always agree, and that's what makes this conversation so valuable. We get into the nuances of DHEA and testosterone supplementation, when genetic testing is worth it even with limited embryos, why your stimulation protocol might be the problem, and how targeting insulin resistance can transform outcomes for PCOS patients. In this episode, we cover: Why AMH predicts egg quantity, not quality  and why that distinction matters The truth about DHEA and testosterone priming, including a major new study showing no benefit Mitochondrial replacement therapy (three-parent IVF): promise, limitations, and what the data actually shows Fresh vs. frozen transfers with diminished ovarian reserve, and why PGTA testing is still valuable The #1 reason for immature eggs and no blasts and the protocol fix that works 80% of the time Endometriosis, BCL6 testing, and when suppression vs. surgery makes sense How targeting insulin resistance and inflammation in PCOS patients is changing outcomes dramatically Resources: Dr. Steven Palter's practice: Gold Coast IVF — goldcoastivf.com PCOS to Pregnancy Protocol by Dr. Palter Previous podcast episode with Dr. Palter on the Palter Fertility Method Dr. Aimee's fertility supplement stack Would you like to learn more about IVF?Click here to join Dr. Aimee for The IVF Class.

Menopause Mastery Show |  Hormone Health 101: HRT Myths & What Symptoms Really Mean | Q&A w/ Dr. Betty Murray, featuring guest Kelly Resendez

In this live Q&A episode of The Health Revival Show, Liz and Becca break down some of the most common questions they're seeing in functional medicine today—from chronic constipation to hormone therapy side effects. They dive deep into topics like redundant colon (elongated colon) and why it's often blamed for constipation when the real causes may be microbiome imbalance, bile flow issues, hormones, or nervous system dysfunction. You'll also learn why heartburn can appear after starting hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and why the hormones themselves are rarely the root problem. Instead, digestive weaknesses like low stomach acid, poor bile flow, or microbiome imbalances may be the real driver. The episode also covers teen digestive issues, exploring how puberty, estrogen fluctuations, stress, and poor digestion habits can create stomach pain after eating. Finally, Liz and Becca answer a key question about DHEA, cortisol, and adrenal health, explaining how hormone therapy influences the stress response and why supporting adrenal function is still essential. *** CONNECT:

Why integrating proper lifestyle habits is essential alongside GLP-1 medications for effective weight loss. How to maintain lean body mass through hormone therapy and lifestyle changes. How oral contraceptives and other synthetic hormones impact SHBG levels and overall hormone balance. The significance of SHBG levels for individuals on hormone replacement therapy or contraceptives. Exploring different forms of testosterone administration, including subcutaneous and intramuscular injections.

What if the clarity you've been searching for isn't in your mindset—but in your heart? In this conversation with Kimberly Snyder, we explore heart coherence, emotional regulation, intuition, and why so many high-achieving women are stuck in the “propelled heart” phase of constant doing. Kimberly shares the five stages of the heart + how stress, ambition, trauma, and ego keep us disconnected from our true power. We talk about nervous system rewiring, hormonal balance, and how dropping from the mind into the heart can change your relationships, health, and magnetism. From manifesting her husband in six weeks to building a wellness empire while raising two kids, Kimberly reveals how living from the heart creates ease, intuition, and alignment. If you're tired of forcing, hustling, or overthinking your next move—this episode will feel like a reset. We also talk about: The five heart stages: dark heart, propelled heart, steady heart, devoted heart, and clear heart Heart coherence and its impact on cortisol, DHEA, hormones, and longevity Why “manifestation culture” often keeps women in the mind instead of the heart Healing grief + how tragedy can open your heart Ego vs. authenticity in relationships The difference between emotional reactivity + true heart connection Nervous system regulation through heart-focused breathing Intuition vs. overthinking How partnership accelerates spiritual growth Magnetism, energy fields, and how your heart affects others Redefining success beyond hustle + achievement Why ordinary moments can feel extraordinary when you're embodied Resources: Website: mysolluna.com  Book: The Hidden Power of the Five Hearts: Empower Your Thoughts, Balance Your Emotions, and Unlock Vibrant Health and Abundance Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: Ka'Chava | Go to https://www.kachava.com and use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your next order.

Perimenopause is something the vast majority of women will experience and yet so many of us feel blindsided by it. I'm Dr. Jenny and in this episode, I talk about why perimenopause often isn't discussed in conventional medical appointments and why so many women are left hearing about it through social media instead of their doctor's office. Menopause is diagnosable. It shows up clearly on blood work. Perimenopause? Not so much. The 5–15 years before menopause can feel like a hormone roller coaster: Exhaustion Brain fog Night sweats and hot flashes Mood swings Irregular cycles Low libido Weight changes Feeling like you're "losing your mind" Here's the truth: If you feel like you're on a roller coaster, it's because your hormones are on a roller coaster. In this episode, I break down: Why adrenal health (your stress response system) is the foundation of hormone balance How chronic stress impacts DHEA and testosterone (hello brain fog and low libido) Why blood work can miss perimenopausal shifts How estrogen processing in the liver and gut plays a massive role in symptoms Why progesterone often declines first and what that means for sleep and mood How comprehensive testing (like the DUTCH test) gives us a real map instead of a single snapshot Most importantly, I explain how you can take your power back. We created a FREE Perimenopause Mini Podcast Series to help you understand: What actually is perimenopause (and what isn't) Why symptoms show up years before menopause What works, what doesn't How to get to the root cause of your symptoms quickly Listen to the FREE perimenopause series here: https://dr-beth-westie.mykajabi.com/perimenopause-3

Midlife can feel like your body suddenly changed the rules. The supplements that once boosted energy, hair growth, and metabolism might now be causing bloating, acne, brittle hair, belly fat, dry skin, hormone imbalance, and even abnormal lab results. In this episode, Chalene breaks down the popular supplements many women over 40 are still taking that could be quietly sabotaging their health, thyroid labs, skin barrier, bone density, and hormones. If you're navigating perimenopause or menopause and wondering why you don't feel like yourself anymore, this conversation will challenge what you think you "should" be taking. This is not about fear. It's about testing, not guessing, and making smarter choices in midlife. Check out this video on YouTube

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Savanna: Hi Dr Cabral. My daughter was diagnosed with PANDAS through blood work after i noticed âlot of behavioral regression. She has also been recently diagnosed with level one, high functioning autism. I feel like a detective trying to figure out whats causing these flares. Some months she has seemingly zero symptoms. Then something sets it off (of course the sickness is one culprit causing the PANDAS) but over laps into autistic behaviors. I guess Im trying to ask for help in this mystery of triggers. Also suggestions of where to start to boost her immune system to prevent the sickness in the first place. I feel so discouraged as a parent not knowing how to help my child and watching her suffer. Just as I think I find a good supplement, it stops working. Such as valerian. We were using it as one calming aid and it worked for months and now all the sudden doesnt seem to be doing anything. This has happened with supplements in the past. I did your heavy metal detox and parasite cleanse with her a few years ago. Thnx                                                                                         Yvonne: As a post-menopausal woman, according to my gynecologist, I am not eligible for bioidentical hormones.  Is it ok to take DHEA after a certain age due to ongoing menopause symptoms of facial aging, insomnia, vaginal dryness etc and, if so, what dosage?                                                                            Emily: Hi Dr Cabral, I am currently working through an autoimmune face rash. I am working with a local integrative functional doctor who is recommending low dose naltrexone, and many other items. What are your thoughts on LDN? Harmful, helpful? How long should one stay on it?     Laura: Hi, I'm interested in what ingredients are ok in supplements and food.. for example, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose in baking or in supplements, different gums, which additives are ok? Thank you     Sheena: HI Dr.C! Hope you and your team are well. I'm a 45 year old in perimenopause and would like to prevent osteoporosis. Could you give me some advice on what's the best way to do this? I take foundational level 3 plus added vitamin D, magnesium, zinc and vitamin b. complex. I'm not not taking any calcium supplements except from my multi. Is this a prob? Do I need a special protocol for perimenopause support and osteo?
