Send us a text & leave your email address if you want a reply!Everything you have been told about menopause symptoms being normal and inevitable is incomplete, and Dr. Cari Schaefer is here to blow that wide open. In this episode, Leah and Dr. Willow sit down with their dear friend and functional medicine and Chinese medicine practitioner to draw a hard line between natural menopause and menopausal syndrome, unpack why hormone replacement therapy alone leaves a massive gap in your care, and get honest about the adrenal health, blood sugar regulation, and liver function conversations that should have happened years before your first hot flash. They also get into andropause, testosterone conversion in men, and why the most loving thing you can do for your body right now has nothing to do with hormones at all.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Menopause and menopausal syndrome are not the same thing, and confusing the two is exactly why so many women are still suffering after starting hormone therapy.Your adrenal glands become the primary producers of estrogen precursors after menopause, so chronic stress is not just emotional, it is hormonal.Hot flashes and night sweats are most often driven by hidden immune stressors like urinary infections and digestive imbalances, not declining hormones alone.A liver cleanse at least once a year is one of the most direct things you can do to keep hormones balanced, because your liver has to filter and process every hormone in your body.Men convert testosterone into estrogen or DHT under chronic stress, which explains low libido, weight gain, emotional flatness, and erectile changes far better than low testosterone alone.Shame around food creates more physiological stress on the liver and gallbladder than the food itself ever could.Menopause is not a biological mistake; it is a designed transition into the most powerful role of a woman's life, and the body will not let you access that role while it is running on empty.LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE: https://www.sexreimagined.com/blog/menopause-symptoms-root-cause ROOTED IN DESIRE.

In this solo episode on androgenic alopecia, the host explains that hair loss is slow and progressive, driven largely by genetics and DHT-mediated miniaturization of follicles across the anagen, catagen, and telogen cycle, and stresses early detection using periodic photos of the temples, hairline/vertex, and crown. He frames hair growth as a "battle" between Wnt signaling (promotes growth and anagen entry via stem cell activation) and DHT signaling (suppresses Wnt and increases inhibitors like DKK, TGF-beta, and PGD2), noting advanced loss involves inflammation, fibrosis, and irreversible follicle loss. He reviews contributors like poor scalp blood flow, iron deficiency (most evidence), possible zinc/B12/folate deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, and insulin resistance, then covers treatments: finasteride (oral and topical) and dutasteride as DHT blockers with potential systemic side effects, plus minoxidil and microneedling (home vs professional) as key options, with add-ons like ketoconazole shampoo, PRP, red light, and cautions about anabolic steroids and high-dose testosterone increasing DHT pressure.

A lot of us treat hair loss the way skincare treats wrinkles, as a cosmetic problem to cover up. But almost every case of thinning, recession, or shedding has something deeper driving it, and by the time it shows up in the mirror, a significant amount of density is already gone.We at Young Goose believe that beauty is whole body care, and hair is one of the most metabolically active tissues in the body. It is also one of the first places systemic stress, hormone shifts, nutrient deficiencies, and inflammation show up.In this episode, Dr. Alan Bauman joins us to break down the biology of hair aging and the protocols that actually move the needle. Dr. Bauman is the founder of Bauman Medical in Boca Raton and one of the pioneers of modern hair restoration, with nearly three decades of clinical practice and more than 35,000 patients treated.His core message is simple and urgent: time equals follicles. Every week of delay is density you do not get back. And most people have no idea it is happening until the loss is already visible.We go deeper into this in the latest episode of Biohacking Beauty: The Anti-Aging Skincare Podcast. We also cover the hidden hair loss risks of GLP-1s and testosterone optimization, the precision diagnostics replacing guesswork, and the red light therapy details almost no one talks about.Let's dive in!What's Discussed:(2:20) How Dr. Bauman became a hair restoration pioneer and the patient who changed everything.(9:50) Why hair is an emotional organ and a biomarker for systemic health.(12:14) Time equals follicles: why every week of delay costs you density.(13:38) The mechanism of androgenetic alopecia and how DHT miniaturizes the follicle.(16:30) Why DHT is not the only driver: stress, inflammation, nutrient deficiency, and GLP-1s.(18:55) The hidden hair loss risks of weight loss peptides and caloric deficits.(21:06) Precision diagnostics: AI-powered microscopy, DNA testing, and preservation first.(23:36) What genetic testing actually tells us about your DHT metabolism pathways.(29:40) Minoxidil and finasteride explained, and why oral microdose is the modern approach.(32:20) Dutasteride, topical finasteride, and when to escalate.(39:41) Copper tripeptide, zinc thymulin, and the peptides with real hair growth data.(42:18) The hair loss side effect of TRT and hormone optimization nobody warns you about.(48:09) Red light therapy for hair: the science, the studies, and what actually works.(52:00) Wavelength precision, power density, and why most devices will not move a follicle.(59:06) Why movement destroys the premise of photobiomodulation.(1:04:36) PRP and modern dual spin protocols for hair regeneration.(1:08:28) Autologous hair follicle stem cell banking and the future of restoration.Find more from Young Goose:Use code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you're a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at https://younggoose.comInstagram: @young_goose_skincareVampire Exosomes: Professional Exosome Serum for Regeneration and Post-Treatment Recovery https://younggoose.com/products/vampire-exosomes Find more from Dr. Alan Bauman:Instagram: @dralanbauman Youtube: @AlanBaumanMD X: @DrAlanBaumanFacebook: Bauman Medical GroupShop: https://dralanbauman.com/Website: https://www.baumanmedical.com/

In Hour 2 of Rush to Reason, John Rush takes listeners on a journey from America's founding principles to the challenges it faces today. It begins with Richard Battle, exploring the legacy of Patrick Henry and the true meaning of liberty—raising the question: have we drifted from the very principles that built this country? Then the conversation pivots sharply into today's headlines, as John examines a controversial social media lawsuit. Who's really responsible—big tech, or the parents? From there, Sunny Kutcher joins to discuss political engagement, youth influence, and proposals that could reshape voting itself. Are younger generations being informed… or influenced? And are voters even paying attention anymore? Finally, John delivers a candid, no-holds-barred take on election integrity and political strategy. Is the problem really the system—or is it messaging, leadership, and the candidates being put forward? This hour doesn't just ask questions—it challenges assumptions.

With Scott Garlis, John breaks down rising tensions in the Middle East, oil market reactions, and why the headlines may not be telling the full story. Is the real battle happening inside Iran—and could that shift global markets overnight? Then comes a surprising turn. As investor pessimism rises, history suggests opportunity may be right around the corner. And just when you think the hour is winding down, John introduces a game-changing idea: underground transportation systems that could transform how cities function.

Dr. Keith Kantor reveals the truth most people miss—it's not just stress or diet, but a hormonal chain reaction involving DHT that quietly shrinks hair follicles over time. Are the solutions you've seen online actually helping… or just masking the problem? Then Dr. Julie Gatza broadens the lens. What if your daily habits—your breakfast, your convenience foods, even your digestion—are slowly working against you? From toxic food environments to nutrient absorption and simple habit shifts, this hour challenges everything you thought you knew about “normal” health. Are you truly fueling your body… or just getting by?

TO PURCHASE VINNIE'S WORKOUT VIDEOS, CLICK THIS LINK: https://vinnietortorich.com/workout All About Testosterone Today is all about the use of testosterone and whether it's really necessary. (2:00) As we get older, testosterone drops; if you start it, it's not likely you'll get off of them because it's hard to stop them. "Free testosterone" seems to be a big indicator; that is, the amount that is available for your body to use. (21:00) There are always many questions surrounding peptides and hormone replacement. The advice Vinnie likes to recommend is to fix everything else with your metabolic health first, and then see if you still need it. (23:30) Often, the decline isn't age-related but diet- and lifestyle-related. (25:00) Vitamin D, especially from sunlight, contributes to hormone production, as do zinc and magnesium. Being obese has the largest impact on testosterone and metabolic function. (30:00) Lifting weights has a massive positive impact on your metabolism and hormone production (31:00). Quality sleep makes a difference! Just a three-hour difference in sleep can change levels in as little as a week. (32:00) Diet has the largest impact. The amount of fats, how many meals, and snacking—all of it can affect how (or if) your body creates enough hormones. (32:30) Magnesium is also good for building testosterone. (41:00) DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is derived from testosterone and can have effects on the prostate, hair loss, and more. (45:00) A good saw palmetto can help block the overproduction of DHT. As always, please do your research first. Creatine, when used in conjunction with heavy lifting, can be beneficial. Sleep affects many things, including leptin, ghrelin, and appetite. (56:00) Make sure you do your research before you decide on using testosterone. If your diet and lifestyle are optimal and you are still having issues, then maybe explore it.

Full Show Notes: bengreenfieldlife.com/498 In this solosode I kick off by talking about whether isometric training is worth your time, covering both my own fitness habits and the newest research, particularly for runners and joint health. I also unpack a buzzworthy study on how just 10 minutes of vigorous exercise daily can be a powerful longevity booster compared to longer, lighter workouts. I share why I no longer personally use metformin, and instead, offer my favorite natural alternatives for better blood sugar control—like berberine, fiber, cinnamon, and simple routines like salads and walks. Plus, I get into brain health, explaining the roles of ketones, methylene blue, and near-infrared light for cognitive performance and protecting against issues like Alzheimer’s. At the end, I answer listener questions on optimizing DHT levels, natural insulin-sensitizers, and keeping your hair healthy even if you’re on testosterone. If you’re interested in practical strategies and learning what’s currently working in my own routine, you’ll enjoy this episode.

Acne is rarely a "topical deficiency"; it is typically an external sign of internal imbalances in the gut, immune system, and nervous system. Dr. Abby emphasizes that treatments like birth control or creams often mask symptoms rather than curing the imbalance.Clinical Case Findings (please note - this is a specific case and not generalized advice)Gut Issues: Testing revealed "leaky gut," dysbiosis (overgrowth), and a high sensitivity to gluten.Hormonal Imbalance: High DHEA-S indicated adrenal overdrive, while testosterone was being metabolized into a more potent form (DHT), driving cystic breakouts.Immune State: The patient was in a state of chronic immune activation, partly triggered by gluten.Treatment StrategyNervous System Reset: Prioritize sleep and vagus nerve work to move the body into a "rest and digest" state.Dietary Shift: Eliminate gluten and processed foods in favor of nutrient-dense, warming whole foods.Digestive Support: Use bitter-rich foods (arugula, artichoke) to optimize enzyme function.Targeted Support: Once the system calmed, specific supplements were used.Next Step: Dr. Abby is accepting new patients for virtual or in-person consultations.

In this quick hits I sit down with Dr. Gillett, to exam the complex world of women's hormones today. We'll be focusing on androgens like testosterone, DHEA, and dihydrotestosterone, and their profound impact on female health. Dr. Gillett provides insights on the role of binding globulins, hormone replacement therapy, and the interplay between insulin and androgens. We also discuss the challenges of menopausal weight gain, the benefits of GLP-1 medications for weight loss, and practical strategies anyone can use for maintaining lean body mass. In this episode we discuss: How androgens such as testosterone, DHEA, and dihydrotestosterone affect women's well-being. Why sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is critical for hormone dynamics and stability. Understanding the impact of thyroid binding globulin and cortisol binding globulin on hormone balance. How hormone replacement therapy (HRT) influences women's bodies, especially regarding androgens. Managing testosterone replacement therapy to avoid virilization symptoms like facial hair and voice changes. The role of DHT blockers in managing androgen-related conditions. How SHBG can be harnessed for overall hormone stability and health benefits. Challenges of menopausal weight gain and how hormonal changes affect body composition. 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. How estrogen and progesterone influence testosterone levels through negative feedback inhibition. How poor sleep quality and hormonal changes contribute to menopausal weight gain. The paradoxical effects of hormone replacement therapy on body composition and fat gain. Why high SHBG must be paired with adequate hormone levels to avoid feeling unwell. Discussing the challenges faced when SHBG levels are artificially high due to medication.

“Our scalp, hair, all these are meant to protect our most vital organ, which is our brain. The reason you get itchy, you can feel when you get oily, is because it's that sensitive to protect it. So we need to learn not to ignore those signs.” —Anne MarieWe know that “successful” careers can quietly drain our bodies and energy. Many of us push through pain, burnout, and misalignment because it looks stable from the outside, while our health and purpose pay the price.

#196 - Stop Hair Loss: Hormones, Stress & What Actually Works Hair loss isn't just cosmetic — it's a biological signal. And if you've ever watched clumps of hair collect in the shower, you know exactly how unsettling hair shedding can be. In this deeply personal episode, Lisa breaks down hair loss causes, why it often shows up during already stressful seasons of life, and what actually helps reverse it — without panic, gimmicks, or jumping straight to pharmaceuticals. Drawing from both functional medicine research and lived experience, this episode connects the dots between stress hormones, DHT, thyroid health, inflammation, nutrition, and insulin resistance — and explains why hair loss is rarely about “just hair.” If you've been told it's genetic and there's nothing you can do… this conversation may change everything. In this episode, you'll learn: Why up to 40% of women experience hair loss — and why it often hits during perimenopause, menopause, post-partum, or prolonged stress The difference between autoimmune hair loss, hormone-driven hair loss, and stress-induced shedding How cortisol, insulin resistance, thyroid dysfunction, and DHT quietly sabotage hair growth The most common everyday habits that worsen hair loss (even when you're doing “everything right”) Evidence-backed lifestyle shifts, foods, supplements, and scalp strategies that actually support regrowth What finally helped Lisa stop excessive shedding after a major life transition — and why consistency matters more than perfection This is a compassionate, science-backed roadmap for anyone who's tired of feeling scared, frustrated, or alone in their hair loss journey — and wants real answers that address the root cause. Episode Timestamps 00:00 – Why hair loss often shows up during stress, grief, or hormonal change 04:45 – What's normal shedding vs. a red flag 09:15 – The two main categories of hair loss (and why it matters) 13:30 – Hormones, DHT, and why women lose hair differently than men 19:45 – Lifestyle habits quietly damaging hair growth 26:30 – Nutrition for hair regrowth: what actually helps 31:45 – Supplements that support hair (without pill overload) 37:30 – Scalp care, circulation, and what finally stopped the shedding Final takeaway: Hair loss is rarely random — and it's almost never “just aging.” It's information. When you listen to the signals your body is sending and address the root causes, regrowth is often possible. And just as importantly, you're not broken — you're responding to stress, change, and biology in a very human way. If you or someone you love is quietly panicking every time you wash your hair, this one's for you.

DESCRIPTIONLeading hairrestoration surgeon Dr. Alan Bauman reveals the science behind hair loss,graying, and the evidence-based treatments that actually work—from medicationsto regenerative therapies.Dr. Alan Baumanis a board-certified hair restoration physician who has treated over 30,000patients and performed 14,000+ hair transplants in his 28-year career. In thisconversation, we explore the biological mechanisms behind hair loss andgraying, why you can lose 50% of your hair density before noticing it, and thepractical interventions that work. We discuss theevidence for medications like minoxidil and finasteride, regenerative therapiesincluding PRP and exosomes, low-level laser therapy, and the role of lifestylefactors like nutrition, stress, and sleep. Dr. Bauman explains genetic testingfor hair loss predisposition, the truth about DHT-blocking shampoos, whetherhair coloring damages follicles, and when to consider surgical options. Key takeaway:"Time equals follicles"—early intervention is critical because oncehair follicles are damaged, reversal becomes increasingly difficult. Whetheryou're experiencing thinning or want to protect your hair long-term, thisepisode provides actionable, science-based strategies.
Episode Description Can hair growth gummies, biotin, collagen, rosemary oil, and DHT blockers actually prove they work—or are you wasting money on underdosed formulas with zero human evidence while your hair continues thinning? Dr. Christian Gonzalez investigated the hair loss supplement industry with one critical question: which supplements have randomized controlled trials showing measurable improvements in hair density and shedding reduction—not just theoretical mechanisms and marketing logic? The shocking reality? Most hair supplements fail because they assume hair loss is about "feeding the hair" when it's really about removing the signals that tell follicles to shut down and shift from growth phase into shedding. The hidden failures in "hair growth" supplements: • Hair gummies and biotin formulas with no randomized trials showing actual density improvements in humans • Generic marine collagen marketed as "hair support" when only specific proprietary marine protein complexes show results • Pumpkin seed powders that strip away the lipid sterols responsible for DHT modulation • Saw palmetto whole berry claims without standardized lipid sterol extraction • Standard turmeric powder with 4% absorption instead of curcumin phytosome forms that reach your scalp • Generic "Vitamin E" using alpha-tocopherol when hair data is based on delta and gamma tocotrienols In this episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez reveals: • The 5 supplements with actual human evidence for hair growth—ranked by evidence scores (7-8 out of 10) • Why Viviscal's proprietary marine protein complex (Amomar) has the strongest data but isn't the cleanest formulation • How cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil inhibits 5-alpha reductase and reduces DHT without crashing hormones systemically • The lipid sterol extract of saw palmetto that works—and why whole berry powder doesn't • How curcumin phytosome (Meriva, BCM-95) addresses chronic inflammation in the scalp environment • Why mixed tocotrienols protect follicles from oxidative stress better than standard vitamin E • Exact evidence-based doses, realistic timelines (3-6 months minimum), and specific brands Dr. G trusts My one stop shop for quality supplements: https://theswellscore.com/pages/drg Timestamps: 0:00 - Why Most Hair Supplements Fail (3 Critical Reasons) 2:26 - #1: Marine Protein Complex (Viviscal) for Hair Density 4:29 - Forms Matter: How to Buy Quality Marine Complex 6:30 - #2: Pumpkin Seed Oil for DHT Modulation 8:29 - Cold-Pressed vs Powder: Why Forms Matter for Androgens 10:05 - #3: Saw Palmetto Extract for Follicle Protection 12:46 - #4: Curcumin Phytosome for Scalp Inflammation 15:43 - #5: Tocotrienols (Vitamin E Complex) for Oxidative Stress 18:16 - Final Takeaways: Stop Wasting Money on Hair Loss Hype

View the Show Notes Page for This Episode Become a Member to Receive Exclusive Content Sign Up to Receive Peter's Weekly Newsletter Carole Hooven is a human evolutionary biologist whose research centers on testosterone, sex differences, and behavior. In this episode, she explores how prenatal testosterone orchestrates male development in the body and brain, how early hormonal surges shape lifelong behavioral tendencies, and what rare natural experiments—such as 5-alpha-reductase deficiency—reveal about the biology of sex differentiation. She discusses distinct male and female aggression styles through an evolutionary lens, how modern environments interact with ancient competitive drives, and the implications of attempting to suppress them. The conversation also covers testosterone across the lifespan, the role of hormone therapy in both men and women, and Carole's own experience after surgical menopause, culminating in a broader discussion of masculinity, cultural narratives, and the consequences of denying biological sex differences. We discuss: How Carole became interested in exploring the biological and evolutionary roots of sex differences and the role of testosterone [2:30]; How testosterone and other hormones influence sex differences in aggression and behavior across species [9:45]; How chromosomes, the SRY gene, and early hormones direct embryonic sexual differentiation [12:15]; A stark contrast of male social bonding compared to females, and evolutionary parallels in chimpanzees [19:30]; How hormones like DHT shape sexual differentiation, and how 5⍺-reductase deficiency reveals the distinct roles of these hormones [22:45]; How sex chromosomes and prenatal testosterone shape early brain development and explain sex differences in childhood behavior [31:30]; How gamete differences shape reproductive strategies, energetic costs, and sex-specific behavior [42:30]; How evolutionary biology shapes sex differences in play, aggression, and conflict resolution (and how modern environments and cultural messaging can disrupt those patterns) [49:00]; Why males commit disproportionately more violent crime, and how cultural and environmental forces shape aggression [1:01:00]; Why females evolved different behavioral strategies: nurturing, risk aversion, and the cultural norms that override biology [1:04:00]; Whether male aggression is still necessary in modern society, why the underlying biological drives persist, and how modern society redirects these drives [1:06:30]; How testosterone levels naturally shift to support fatherhood and caregiving [1:13:30]; How testosterone shapes male mating strategies, and why long-term pair-bonding persists even when reproduction is no longer at stake [1:18:30]; The distinct roles of estrogen in male development, mood, libido, and muscle [1:25:00]; How evolution, health, lifestyle, and androgen receptor biology shape modern testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) [1:34:15]; Carole's experience with hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and the risks associated with TRT in younger men [1:45:15]; How Carole rebuilt after controversy: leaving academia and recommitting to scientific honesty [1:51:30,]; Carole's next book: examining masculinity, cultural narratives, and the cost of denying biological sex differences [1:57:30]; and More.

I don't define myself by my past, but it's a big part of my story. In 2010, my five-year-old daughter was diagnosed with cancer, and just a year later, I was too, but with thyroid cancer at 41. Fast forward to now, at 55, I'm navigating menopause and constantly learning what it truly means to thrive - body, mind, spirit and soul - to this next chapter of my life.Along the way, I went back to college, became a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, earned numerous certifications, and started this podcast just before the pandemic. I come to you not only as a practitioner and a podcaster, but as a woman who's lived it, someone driven by passion over profit, and a genuine desire to help others heal, grow, and live with more vitality, purpose, and joy.I break down DHT's role in scalp thinning and the telltale clues like new facial hair, acne flares, mood changes - then share practical interventions you can discuss with your practitioner. You'll learn how to vet red light therapy for real results (the right wavelengths, power, and session cadence), when a follicle can be rescued versus when a transplant is the only option, and why consistency matters more than hype. We also tackle the big “hidden” drivers: chronic stress, medication-induced nutrient depletions, and blood sugar dysregulation that inflames the scalp and nudges androgen pathways in the wrong direction.The goal isn't a one-size-fits-all supplement; it's a personalized plan built on bioindividuality.Follow, leave a rating & review & share it with someone who needs clarity.

0:00 Introduction: How to reverse hair loss naturally 0:47 Hair growth explained1:27 Causes of hair loss4:44 The best way to reverse hair loss8:28 Natural remedies for hair loss10:14 Foods that reverse hair loss Today, I'm going to show you how to reverse hair loss naturally, without damaging side effects. Most hair loss is androgenic, typically resulting in male pattern baldness and thinning hair in women. The hair follicle requires significant oxygen and mitochondria for optimal hair growth. Testosterone decreases with age in both men and women and is replaced by DHT, a more powerful form of testosterone. Many hair regrowth treatments work by inhibiting DHT. Too much DHT can decrease hair growth, reduce oxygen, increase inflammation, and increase scar tissue in the hair follicle. Drugs for hair growth that work by lowering DHT can come with side effects like decreased libido and erectile dysfunction. Beyond age and genetics, the primary driver of DHT is insulin resistance!To reverse hair loss and stimulate hair regrowth, you must support the environment of the hair follicle. Mechanical scalp stimulation is one of the most overlooked yet effective remedies for hair loss, with microneedling being the most effective method. Other natural remedies for hair loss include:•Red light/NIR light•Rosemary oil (natural Rogaine)•Correcting insulin resistance.
