NOW it all makes sense - and it's backed by science! ONE little hormone, or the lack of it has changed you. And that my friend - is it. Your lack of sleep, your lack- or seeming lack - of empathy, potential heart trouble - and that general feeling that everyone else can suck a lemon - because you're going to do what you want now. All explained. According to the Harvard article, What is oxytocin? "Oxytocin is a hormone that's produced in the hypothalamus and released into the bloodstream by the pituitary gland. Its main function is to facilitate childbirth, which is one of the reasons it is called the "love drug" or "love hormone." Oxytocin, like endorphins or serotonin, is a type of hormone in your body that promotes positive feelings.” And according to the Journal of Endocrinology, “Oxytocin is a neurohormone that regulates emotionality, social behaviors, and fundamental physiological systems. Localization of oxytocin receptors in the brain, reproductive tissues, bone, and heart support their role in mental health and potentially sleep, along with reproductive and cardiovascular functions.”   Scientific references discussed: https://joe.bioscientifica.com/view/journals/joe/262/1/JOE-23-0396.xml   https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/oxytocin-the-love-hormone Thank you for joining me today!

In this episode, Tina speaks with Carrots ‘N' Cake coach and FDN Practitioner, Jennifer Woodward, about the importance of functional testing for women during their perimenopausal years. Jennifer provides clarity around some of the imbalances that women might experience in perimenopause and some of the common markers we see on functional tests. Jennifer discusses: - Common symptoms in perimenopause - The importance of functional lab testing - How the GI-MAP and DUTCH can provide clues - Minerals as the spark plugs of the body - Intermittent fasting and whether it's helpful or harmful - Cardio as an extra stressor - And more… Connect with Tina Haupert: https://carrotsncake.com/ Facebook: Carrots 'N' Cake https://www.facebook.com/carrotsncake Instagram: carrotsncake https://www.instagram.com/carrotsncake YouTube: Tina Haupert https://www.youtube.com/user/carrotsncake Pinterest: Carrots 'N' Cake Hormone Testing & Nutrition Coaching https://www.pinterest.com/carrotsncake/ About Tina Haupert: Tina Haupert is the owner of Carrots ‘N' Cake as well as a Certified Nutrition Coach and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P).

Send us a textMulti-Metabolic Week focuses on the idea that MASLD and MASH are elements in a systemic set of Multi-Metabolic issues. This conversation is the second of two looking at the concept of the "Multi-Metabolic Clinic," a clinic that treats the entire spectrum of multi-metabolic diseases.This conversation starts by focusing on how the two clinics train other physicians and practices on multi-metabolic issues. The EDOM clinic in Spain is certified to provide nutritional training to other practices across the country, while the newer, smaller Trajectory Health Partners practice provides support on use of FibroScan and, more recently, Velacur from Sonic Incytes. Louise notes how important training is for optimal use of scanning devices, which includes both technical proficiency and knowledge of how to educate and motivate patients using the results of the scans. From there, the conversations shifts to focus on differences between treating patients in a conventional practice vs. a multi-metabolic one. The key differences involve length of patient visit and use of allied providers to educate patients more fully. Next, Louise asks whether the clinics have data on reducing the number of patients needing to go to a hospital. EDOM has data while the younger Trajectory has a clear sense this happens but no large-scale practice data to support this sense. Louise's last question is to ask how each physician would "sell" colleagues in their specialty on why to set up a multi-metabolic practice. The answers reflect the different specialties in which the physicians were trained originally (endocrinology in Spain, gastroenterology in the U.S.) but have significant common elements. 

Send us a text00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 6, Episode 11 This week, we modify our usual episode structure to focus on multi-metabolic practices and constructs. The multi-metabolic practices covered this week are run by non-hepatologists who have chosen to focus on the liver in a broader cardiometabolic context. They include two practices discussed during a two-part roundtable, one run by US gastroenterologist Dr. Karen Jerome-Zapadka and the EDOM practice in Spain, run by endocrinologists. The expert interview is with Dr. Emily Andaya, an internist who helms a cardiometabolic practice in Indiana, US, that focuses on the liver. 00:14:23 - Roundtable Part I: Groundbreaker and introductionThe core of the episodes started during the weekly groundbreakers, as guests began to describe the path that brought them from single-disease specialization to the broader multi-metabolic practice.. Immediately after the groundbreakers, participants describe their clinics today, including patient population and principles underlying their approach to treatment.00:26:15 - Roundtable Part II: Tools they useGuided by Louise, the specialists discuss the devices they use to screen and stage patients and the drugs they use to treat them. One interesting item that emerges is that EDOM relies on a 0-to-4 disease severity classification, but it does not align point-by-point with the 4-point fibrosis scale common in MASH. 00:40:28 - Roundtable Part III: Training Providers in the ClinicsLouise starts this segment by asking the EDOM team how they train practitioners in their clinic. EDOM trains practitioners in nutrition and technologists in the proper use of scanning devices. Karen comments that one big issue in re-training involves the length of visits: 15 minutes for a typical GI visit vs. 60 minutes for an initial multi-metabolic session and 30 minutes for follow-ups. Along with this, the information gathering technique are different.00:50:57 - Roundtable Part IV: Patient Health and Wrap-upLouise asks participants whether and how they have measured the impact the multi-metabolic approach has on patients' health (profound in both cases) and whether they are seeing an increase in HCC. Karen sees a difference among her long-term patients, while EDOM refers patients before their fibrosis reaches cirrhosis stage. In the last part of the episode, panelists share perspectives on how their initial specialties fit with the broader multi-metabolic practice and the kinds of impact they can have on patients.01:12:50 - Expert: Dr. Emily Andaya discusses US initiatives in multi-metabolic healthThis week's expert is Dr. Emily Andaya, an Indiana (US)-based internist whose practice has expanded to take on a multi-metabolic focus. She begins by discussing her recent attendance at the American Society for Preventive Cardiology (SPC) meeting in Boston, where she heard a talk by Dr. Christos Montzoros, an endocrinologist and multi-metabolic advocate, who emphasized the importance of incorporating the liver into preventive cardiology's focus. Louise and Emily agree that cardiometabolic focus involves evaluating general, overall health, but Emily discusses how this might require a deeper or broader testing protocol for each target organ. Emily describes the 4-point CKM scale and Louise asks how fibrosis or NAS scoring, as deployed in the MASH CRN system, might be valuable here. This is a far-ranging conversation, but one special point of interest involves the psychological benefit of telling a patient they need to treat one (multi-metabolic) condition, instead of separate heart, kidney, endocrinological and liver conditions, which might feel far more overwhelming. 01:48:48 - ConclusionBecause Roger is on vacation, there is no business report this week.

After seven years, we have reached our 100th episode!

A breakthrough in inflammatory support has arrived in the natural health market. PEA, which stands for palmitoylethanolamide, is a naturally occurring fatty acid derivative made in the body and found in small amounts in foods. Several human studies have demonstrated that PEA has broad- spectrum pain-relieving properties, anti-inflammatory effects, and nerve protection.To help us unpack all the research and studies we have Dr. Stengler joining us today.In addition to authoring 30 books on health and several best-sellers such as “The Natural Physician's Healing Therapies,” “Prescription for Natural Cures,” “Prescription for Drug Alternatives,” and “Outside the Box Cancer Therapies,” Dr. Stengler has been published in several peer-reviewed medical journals such as The International Journal of Family & Community Medicine, Endocrinology & Metabolism International Journal, and Journal of Nutritional Health & Food Engineering.Dr. Stengler's, NMD. The newest book is called, The Holistic Guide to Gut Health. A comprehensive yet accessible approach to healing leaky gut and the many uncomfortable symptoms it causes. Dr Stengler is also the founder of The Stengler Center for Integrative Medicine.Talking Points:Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), is a naturally occurring fatty acid derivative made in the body and found in small amounts in foods. PEA was first discovered in 1957 by scientists at Merck Sharp & Dohme, who isolated it from egg yolk, peanut meal, and soy lecithin. They found that PEA had anti-inflammatory properties in guinea pigs.However, PEA's role as a potential therapeutic agent was not widely recognized until 1993, when Rita Levi-Montalcini and her colleagues published research that suggested PEA has anti-inflammatory properties. Levi-Montalcini's group termed PEA an autocoid local injury antagonist (ALIA), and suggested that it acts locally to counteract injury.Multiple studies have demonstrated that PEA improves all sorts of pain. For example, a 2023 analysis of 11 studies found that PEA improved pain of various conditions, including muscle and joints, nerves, gynecological, and digestive. In terms of joint pain, a high-quality study demonstrated that PEA significantly reduced adult joint pain compared to placebo. Moreover, 8 clinical trials demonstrated that PEA was effective for low back pain, sciatica, and carpal tunnel syndrome. Even migraine headache pain was shown in published research to be improved with PEA.Lipid mediators help to balance the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems, affecting pain pathways related to inflammation. But unfortunately, due to changing diets, many of us do not get the nutrition and activity we need to make enough PEA ourselves.Supplemental PEA, by Levagen+ is properly formulated for optimal bioavailability, 75% more bioavailable to cell receptors than dietary forms. Levagen+ liposomal delivery of PEA has been clinically studied and shows benefits in joint pain, nerve pain, migraine, infections, sleep, and cognitive function.Learn more about Dr. Mark Stengler, NMDLearn more about Emerald Labs PEA+ Levagen Use the code: Forever and get 20% off your order.

In Episode 218 OF GROWING OLDER LIVING YOUNGER, Dr. William Hsu, endocrinologist and Chief Medical Officer at L Nutra, joins Dr. Gillian Lockitch to explore the science behind fasting mimicking diets (FMD) and how they may lower biological age, fight chronic disease, and boost metabolic health. You'll hear how simple lifestyle interventions, when structured and supported, can trigger the body's natural repair systems—and why healthspan, not just lifespan, should be the goal of aging well.  Dr. William Hsu is a Harvard-trained endocrinologist who spent 20 years at Harvard's Joslin Diabetes Center before joining L-Nutra in 2019 as Chief Medical Officer. At L-Nutra, he leads clinical development and drives education around fasting and the Fasting Mimicking Diet. Previously, he served as Vice President at Joslin, leading international education and healthcare advisory efforts, helping to shape national diabetes care guidelines. Dr. Hsu's research focuses on diabetes pathophysiology and digital health in chronic care. He earned degrees from Cornell and Mount Sinai, completed his Internal Medicine residency at Yale, and his Endocrinology fellowship at Harvard, where he was later an Assistant Professor.   Episode Timeline: 0:00 – Introduction and Podcast Overview Host Dr. Gillian Lockitch introduces the theme for 2025: “Age is just a number.” She frames the episode around exploring strategies to extend healthspan—the years of life spent in good health—and invites listeners to book one-on-one sessions.  2:12 – Meet Dr. William Hsu Gillian introduces her guest, Harvard-trained endocrinologist Dr. William Hsu. Formerly with the Joslin Diabetes Center, Dr. Hsu now leads clinical efforts at L- Nutra, pioneering fasting-mimicking nutrition science.  4:50 – Lifestyle Change: More Than Just Willpower Dr. Hsu explains why lifestyle interventions often fail without structural support. He acknowledges the essential role of medications but stresses the need for more systemic, pragmatic solutions to improve public health.  9:29 – Why Modern Life Challenges Healthy Living The conversation turns to the external forces—processed foods, advertising, time scarcity—that sabotage health. Dr. Hsu advocates for societal-level interventions and introduces fasting mimicking diets (FMD) as a practical tool.  12:24 – What is a Fasting Mimicking Diet? Dr. Hsu defines the FMD as a plant-based meal plan that tricks the body into a fasting state while providing nourishment. He explains how FMD promotes autophagy, cellular renewal, and metabolic reset.  28:23 – Clinical Trials: Reversing Biological Age Dr. Hsu cites a Nature Communications study where FMD reduced participants' biological age by 2.5 years in just three cycles. He explains how biological age is measured and why it's a more powerful indicator than the number on your birthday cake.  31:53 – Can You Track Your Own Biological Age? Gillian and Dr. Hsu discuss current tools for measuring biological age and where the science is heading. Dr. Hsu shares how consumers can access FMD kits and programs in various global regions.  33:14 – FMD and Diabetes Management Dr. Hsu shares compelling data showing how FMD can reduce visceral fat, insulin resistance, and blood sugar levels—attacking the root of type 2 diabetes and reducing reliance on medication.  36:09 – El Nutra's Comprehensive FMD Program Dr. Hsu describes a complete support system for FMD users, including medical oversight, apps, coaching, and lab tracking. The program is already in use in the U.S., UK, and Italy, and expanding.  39:22 – Final Thoughts: Healing Through the Right Environment Dr. Hsu emphasizes the body's innate ability to rejuvenate when supported by evidence-based nutrition like FMD.

We're diving into a topic that's generating a lot of buzz in the T1D community: GLP-1s. To break down what these medications actually do, what the research says, and how they might benefit people with type 1 diabetes, we're joined by pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Justin Gregory. We explore what GLP-1s are, how they work in the body, and why they're attracting so much attention in T1D care. Dr. Gregory shares insights on their effects on blood sugar, insulin needs, and insulin sensitivity (and whether those benefits are purely tied to weight loss or something more direct). Whether you've only seen GLP-1s mentioned on social media or you've already started a conversation with your healthcare team, this episode brings clarity to the hype and the hope. Don't miss this conversation - we're answering all the questions the T1D community has been waiting for.Quick Takeaways:Everything you need to know about GLP-1s: What they are, who they are meant for & why they are getting so much hypeThe impact these medications have on T1D: Blood sugar, insulin needs, insulin sensitivity, and more Breaking down the risks: Direct impact on T1D (blood sugars, insulin needs, etc.) and side effects of long-term use How GLP-1s are being prescribed off-label to type 1s and the important conversations people with T1D should have with their provider before starting them Timestamps:[03:13] Dr. Gregory's journey into Endocrinology [03:37] “Diagnosed with T1D and I was told, your Air Force career is over…”[05:21] “My research says, what is the cost of putting too much insulin in the wrong place?”[09:43] One of the most underappreciated aspects of T1D: Insulin sensitivity  [XX:XX] “Insulin sensitivity is 30 to 50% lower in type 1 diabetes compared to mass control.”[12:34] How to determine your insulin sensitivity (and increase it)[21:13] The breakdown of GLP-1s [23:25] Understanding GLP-1s efficacy in T1D [27:09] Who will benefit from these medications vs. who might hurt [30:41] Insulin resistance with a healthy BMI: How is it possible?[34:42] Prescribing these medications to children [38:34] How GLP-1s could be used for the newly diagnosed T1D population[39:00] Dr. Gregory's expectations for the future and evolution of these medications [41:06] Pregnancy + GLP-1s[46:24] “When you come off of it, if you're not staying on it forever, what happens?”What to do now: Follow me @lauren_bongiorno and @riselyhealth on Instagram to stay in the loop when new episodes drop.Apply for coaching and talk to our team so you can reclaim the life you deserve.  Join the PEP (Parents Empowering Parents) Squad, a Facebook group created by the Diabetes Research Institute.

Send us a textThe pursuit of optimal health as we age requires more than just conventional medicine—it demands a deeper understanding of how our hormones, genetics, and metabolism interact. In this continuation of the conversation with Dr. Elena Christofides, Host Dr. Holly Thacker goes beyond the surface of women's health concerns to explore groundbreaking approaches that can literally change how we age.Dr. Christofides reveals why comprehensive blood testing should include genetic markers that most physicians overlook. From MTHFR mutations affecting B vitamin metabolism to hemochromatosis genes common in those with Northern European ancestry, these hidden factors can dramatically impact metabolic health. Her revolutionary approach includes growth hormone screening for everyone—not just elite athletes—because deficiencies following head trauma (including domestic violence) affect one in five people and accelerate aging processes.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Christofides and Dr. Thacker emphasize that what many dismiss as "normal aging" is often addressable with personalized medical approaches.For anyone frustrated by unexplained weight gain, fatigue, poor sleep quality, or declining physical performance despite "normal" lab work, this episode offers hope and actionable insights.To learn more about Dr. Elena Christofides, visit endocrinology-associates.com.Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

Recently the Endocrine Society’s Bone and Mineral Special Interest Group discussed the importance of fracture liaison services and how they contribute to an improved quality of life for patients and cost saving for the facility. An important part of the discussion revolved around a recent perspective published in The New England Journal of Medicine titled, “Coordinating Multidisciplinary Care — Improving Outcomes after Fragility Fractures.” The article notes that despite the benefits of fracture liaison services, the lack of reimbursement for those services in the United States is a significant financial barrier, rendering the service underutilized. The article further states that the global burden of hip fractures is expected to double over the next few decades. Are we looking at an impending crisis? What role should fracture liaison services play in reducing treatment gaps and improving post-fracture care? Host Aaron Lohr talks with the three authors of that New England Journal of Medicine perspective: Nicola Napoli, MD, PhD, associate professor of endocrinology and metabolism at Campus Bio-Medico University of Rome, Italy; Peter Ebeling, AO, professor medicine at Monash University in Melbourne, Vic., Australia; and Douglas P. Kiel, MD, professor of medicine at Marcus Institute for Aging Research at Hebrew Senior Life.

Send us a textHey my beautiful friends –This week's conversation was sparked by a funny little tech discovery and a box I mailed — both of which got me thinking about food in a new way. You know how people are always quick to tell you what not to eat? Well, this week we flip the script. I'm sharing thoughts from my own journey and a coach that made me laugh and think — and you'll hear why his words still stick with me to this day. We're keeping things simple, kind, and grounded in something real. I'm not handing out rules, I'm sharing a mindset and maybe even a little inspiration for your next grocery run or packed lunch. And as always, we'll close with a little heart lift — this one from Michael Pollan, who said, “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”Come hang out with me, and let's talk about what loves us back. References:1.    Zhang & Talalay, Frontiers in Nutrition, 20232.    Liu, Nutrients, 20233.    Viguiliouk et al., Obesity Reviews, 20234.    Jenkins et al., AJCN, 20245.    Estruch et al., The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology, 20236.    Guasch-Ferré et al., BMJ, 20237.    Yao et al., Nutrients, 20238.    Harvard Nurses' Health Study Update, 20239.    Anderson et al., AJCN, 202410.Simopoulos, Frontiers in Endocrinology, 202311.Ye et al., Nutrients, 202312.Sonnenburg et al., Cell Metabolism, 202413.Mozaffarian et al., AJCN, 202314.Mastrocola et al., Appetite, 202315.Pollan, M.

The future of Public Health depends on protection against unrestrained corporate power. A sicker humanity means increased pain and suffering at large. In the past, we have identified numerous exposures that have made us sick, many of which are addictive, and created shield laws to protect the corporations that peddle them. We also know it's our most toxic addictions that are killing the planet and its people currently, whether due to climate crisis or ingesting harmful chemical substances. When Big Tobacco tried to convince the world that ingesting tar and nicotine made people healthier (“9 out of 10 doctors smoke Camels”), science revealed otherwise and insisted upon laws to regulate the industry more closely. Robert H. Lustig, M.D., M.S.L suggests that we consider a similar strategy for sugar, particularly the fructose or refined fructose molecules commonly found to be overdosing society through packaged products. Per his biography, he wants to help “fix the food supply any way he can.” Lustig explaine that one of the essential patterns to recognize in battling addiction is the dichotomy between pleasure vs. happiness.

In this episode of Better Than Before Breast Cancer™, we're talking about a common and little-talked-about side effect of breast cancer treatment and day-to-day living: digestive changes. If you've experienced bloating, reflux, fatigue, or that uncomfortable feeling of fullness after eating, this episode is for you. You'll learn why hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid) is often misdiagnosed as high stomach acid, how breast cancer treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and hormonal therapy contribute to poor digestion, and why treating symptoms with acid-blocking medications might be doing more harm than good. Most importantly, we'll cover simple, nurturing steps — like mindful eating habits and nutrient support — to help you feel better, absorb more nutrients, and reconnect with your body's healing capacity.

There has been a fundamental shift in understanding metabolic health and chronic disease, particularly Type 2 diabetes, challenging long-standing dietary dogma by emphasizing that insulin resistance is largely driven by overconsumption of refined carbohydrates, not dietary fat or red meat. While highlighting the success of carbohydrate restriction and ketogenic approaches, nutrition is being seen as a powerful tool for reversing diabetes—often more effective and sustainable than conventional medication. The implications are far-reaching, not only for individual health outcomes, but also for reshaping public health strategies in addressing today's chronic disease epidemic. In this episode, I speak with Gary Taubes, Sami Inkinen, and Dr. Greeshma Shetty about an approach to treating Type 2 Diabetes that works.
