Celebrating the 50th episode today, so a big thank you to all of my listeners who have stuck with me throughout this journey as Fully Nourished is seeking to continually improve how we view female physiology on the planes of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual.We are continuing our hormone series today, and we are going to take a deeper dive into plant foods, phytoestrogens, and functional fibers. I'm noticing another pendulum swing where people are beginning to over-demonize plants. There are nuanced examples where women are demonstrating benefits from cutting plants out of their diets, and my fear is that it will become the new fad diet that will push people back into the Carnivore diet, which we've already discussed, isn't ideal, especially for the female physiology. It is critical that we learn to live within the rhythm of our bodies and understand that the spectrum of what our bodies need will shift with the seasons. Instead of approaching our nourishment from a state of fight or flight, we need to sit with our bodies, rest, listen, and pay attention to truly give our bodies what they need. In this episode, we really dive deep into nourishment and the roles that phytoestrogens play in this process. There's so much more to the story than what you see on social media and in all the crazes that demonize seeds, seed oils, and soybeans. I can't wait to share it with you and I know you're going to love this episode. Tune in today! In this episode:[00:46] Welcome to Episode 50 of The Fully Nourished Podcast![02:43] We continue our hormone series today where we talk more about plant foods, phytoestrogens, and functional fibers.[10:28] The three components that the human body needs to gain from our foods. [16:24] Pay attention to the rhythm of your body to provide you with the nourishment you need in a specific season. [23:44] The difference between symptom suppression and true healing.[26:10] The taboo of phytoestrogens.[31:28] The breakdown of phytoestrogens in common foods and the role they play in the body. [33:56] Is there a link between estrogen and androgeny?[41:11] You have my permission to stop being afraid of any specific food group as long as it supports your nourishment.[43:30] Thanks for joining me on the Fully Nourished Podcast today!Links and Resources:Submit Questions Here: https://airtable.com/appoicByQy3UFoSXs/shrXwD7wQFJQr68NnSign Up for Sunday Tea Here: https://jessica-ash-wellness.ck.page/04f86a550fDiscount Codes from Our Sponsors:Subluna: https://shopsubluna.com?sca_ref=6575731.SiVwQ6X9YX*Code JESSICAASH for 10% offIG: @shopsubluna*This is an affiliate link.

In this episode of The Metabolic Classroom, Dr. Ben Bikman explores the metabolic effects of estrogens, particularly their role in glucose metabolism.Estrogens, mainly produced in the gonads, play a crucial role in regulating blood glucose by enhancing insulin sensitivity. Dr. Bikman explained that estrogens improve insulin signaling through pathways such as PI3 kinase and AKT, which are essential for glucose uptake in muscle and fat tissues. Additionally, estrogens activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), further promoting glucose uptake and maintaining healthy blood glucose levels.Estrogens also suppress glucose production in the liver by inhibiting key enzymes involved in gluconeogenesis, helping to prevent excess glucose release into the bloodstream. In contrast, progesterone decreases insulin sensitivity and promotes insulin resistance, counteracting some of estrogen's beneficial effects. This hormonal interplay affects glucose metabolism during the ovarian cycle, with estrogen-dominant phases being more favorable for glucose control.During menopause, the significant drop in estrogen levels leads to increased insulin resistance and shifts in fat storage, often resulting in more central fat accumulation. While hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can mitigate some of these changes, it comes with risks that need careful consideration. Ben emphasizes the significant role of estrogens in glucose metabolism and their broader impact on metabolic health, especially in women.https://www.insuliniq.com 01:19 - Overview of Estrogens and Progesterone02:20 - Cholesterol as the Precursor to Sex Hormones03:34 - The Role of Aromatase in Estrogen Production04:32 - Understanding the Family of Estrogens05:56 - Estrogens and Glucose Metabolism: Key Signaling Pathways06:54 - Insulin Signaling Pathway Overview08:57 - How Estrogens Enhance Insulin Sensitivity10:04 - The Role of AMPK in Glucose Uptake12:11 - Estrogens' Dual Mechanism in Regulating Glucose Levels13:18 - The Impact of Estrogens on Liver Glucose Production15:33 - Estrogens' Role in Suppressing Gluconeogenesis17:07 - Why Women Have Lower Risk of Type 2 Diabetes19:28 - Metabolic Effects During the Ovarian Cycle21:54 - Progesterone's Influence on Insulin Resistance and Fat Storage25:16 - The Shift in Fat Storage Patterns Post-Menopause26:16 - Hormone Replacement Therapy: Metabolic ConsiderationsPI3K activation leads to the phosphorylation of Akt, a key protein in glucose metabolism, which promotes the translocation of GLUT4 (glucose transporter type 4) to the cell membrane, facilitating glucose uptake into muscle and adipose tissue: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S155041311930138X?via%3Dihub AMPK acts as an energy sensor and helps maintain cellular energy balance, which is crucial in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12013-015-0521-z Progesterone increases blood glucose levels by enhancing hepatic gluconeogenesis.

When it comes to managing your blood sugar, a low carbohydrate diet is only part of the picture. Without understanding the other pieces, you can easily find yourself frustrated by thinking you're doing all the things and still not having the result you're hoping for.  In this episode, I'll talk about 4 other big players in the game of blood sugar management.   There's rarely, if ever something in our body that is affected by just one mechanism and blood sugar is no different. There are other lifestyle factors and the process of aging itself that can have a big impact on blood sugar management.  Because this is such an important aspect off metabolic health, you need to have all the pieces of the puzzle so you can take a holistic approach to this critical piece of your health.  Listen now and gain more tools to support your amazing body.  Referred to in this episode:  Better Than Before Breast Cancer Life Coaching Membership  #74 The Healing Power of Sleep and What Happens when Sleep Goes Wrong-Part 1  #75 The Healing Power of Sleep and What Happens when Sleep Goes Wrong-Part 2  Tests to determine menopausal status  Estrogens and the regulation of glucose metabolism  The Impact of Poor Sleep on Type 2 Diabetes  Chronic stress puts your health at risk 

In this episode, Female Hormones, we jump in and look at all aspects surrounding these wonderful hormones.Estrogens and Progesterone are often the only discussed female hormones but testosterone, pregnenolone, dhea-s all play a vital role in female hormone health. Female Hormones provide a great physiological benefit, from supporting tissues for growth and repair to neurological health and protection.In this episode we touch on the main female hormones, what is a "normal" monthly pattern so we can better understand deviations away from normal and empower our listeners to be strong advocates for their health when it comes to hormones. This also starts with testing and understanding when you test your hormones, the type of testing you do and how these factors can massively impact the clinical insight you get. We also touch on why you may miss or get insufficient information if you do not test at the proper window during your cycle.There is also a reason this episode follows our conversation on "detox" and biotransformation. This is because these detox pathways can also be influenced by hormones like estrogen as well as the ability to detox can also impact how hormones are processed and safely eliminated out of the body. The brain and gut serve vital roles in how we eliminate hormones and are often overlooked and need to be part of the conversation in overall hormone health.We also touch on nutrigenomics, the study of individual genetic differences, and how these can factor into overall hormone health as well as considerations that can be taken to investigate how to offset these factors. Single Nucleotide polymorphisms, aka SNP's, are important considerations to round out a thorough assessment for one's female hormone health as well as neurological health.We hope you enjoy this conversation into female hormones and everything in between. We encourage you to let us know if there are other topics or questions you have that you would like us to discuss as we would be happy to address those.And again, this is purely to be informative and not taken as medical advice.

We're in the midst of a testosterone crisis. Alarmingly, the average levels of this crucial male hormone have been plummeting, with one seminal study reporting a staggering 1% annual decline in average testosterone levels since the late 20th century.Travison, T. G., Araujo, A. B., O'Donnell, A. B., Kupelian, V., & McKinlay, J. B. (2007). A population-level decline in serum testosterone levels in American men. The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 92(1), 196-202. This decline isn't just a number; it's a reality affecting men's health, well-being, and quality of life. Lower testosterone levels have been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, decreased muscle mass, diminished cognitive function, and even a reduced lifespan.Araujo, A. B., Esche, G. R., Kupelian, V., O'Donnell, A. B., Travison, T. G., Williams, R. E., ... & McKinlay, J. B. (2007). Prevalence of symptomatic androgen deficiency in men. The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 92(11), 4241-4247. So, to call it a "crisis" is no exaggeration at all. You're in the right place if you're concerned about low testosterone or suspect you may be part of this growing trend. This article breaks down the 17 leading causes of low testosterone—all supported by scientific evidence. It's actionable, understandable information that you can use to take charge of your health. 1. Aging By the time you hit 30, your testosterone levels could start to decline by around 1% each year.Harman, S. M., Metter, E. J., Tobin, J. D., Pearson, J., & Blackman, M. R. (2001). Longitudinal effects of aging on serum total and free testosterone levels in healthy men. The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 86(2), 724-731. Why does this happen? Simply put, it's due to a slowdown in testicular function coupled with a decrease in the responsiveness to luteinizing hormone (LH). LH acts like a messenger, telling your testes to produce testosterone. As you age, this messaging system gets a bit sluggish, causing the testes to produce less testosterone.Wu, F. C., Tajar, A., Pye, S. R., Silman, A. J., Finn, J. D., O'Neill, T. W., ... & Lean, M. E. (2008). Hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis disruptions in older men are differentially linked to age and modifiable risk factors: the European Male Aging Study. The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 93(7), 2737-2745. A 1% drop might not sound like much initially, but consider this: by the time you're 50, you could be looking at a decline of 20% or more. That's significant. Lower testosterone levels can lead to diminished energy, less muscle mass, a decreased sex drive, and even mood swings. Over time, this could affect your quality of life. You can't stop the clock, but you can buffer its effects. Supplements, nutrition, and exercise can all slow the loss significantly, but an intense resistance training program is one of the most effective.Vingren, J. L., Kraemer, W. J., Ratamess, N. A., Anderson, J. M., Volek, J. S., & Maresh, C. M. (2010). Testosterone physiology in resistance exercise and training. Sports Medicine, 40(12), 1037-1053. 2. Excess Body Fat When it comes to testosterone, carrying excess weight is like a double-edged sword. On one end, body fat—especially abdominal fat—contains an enzyme called aromatase that converts testosterone into estrogen, the primary female sex hormone.Cooke, P. S., Nanjappa, M. K., Ko, C., Prins, G. S., & Hess, R. A. (2017). Estrogens in Male Physiology. Physiological reviews, 97(3), 995–1043. So the more fat you have, the more of your limited testosterone is converted into estrogen. This inevitably leads to even lower levels of free testosterone in the body. On the other end, low testosterone can lead to an increase in body fat, setting off a self-perpetuating cycle. Lower testosterone levels slow your metabolism and decrease muscle mass, making it easier to gain body fat.Saad, F., Aversa, A., Isidori, A. M., & Gooren, L. J. (2011).

Welcome to the podcast with Dr. Brendan McCarthy! Estrogens are the female sex hormones that mediate the important processes that result in the maturation of the female reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics. Yet, male sex hormones, namely androgens, are also essential for female health, physical and emotional. Dr. Brendan McCarthy founded Protea Medical Center in 2002. While he's been the chief medical officer, Protea has grown and evolved into a dynamic medical center serving the Valley and Central Arizona. A nationally recognized as an expert in hormone replacement therapy, Dr McCarthy s the only instructor in the nation who teaches BioHRT on live patients.

Episode Summary: Obviously, your skin provides the physical barrier to protect what is inside of your body.  It also helps to regulate your temperature and act as a route for elimination for fluids like sweat and oils.  This is why good lifestyle with disciplines in a self-care practice should be taken seriously. Our skin IS ruled by our hormones and is covered in small glands called sebaceous glands. They secrete an oil called sebum that helps lubricate your skin and keep it healthy. Within these glands are receptors that respond to hormones, and react according to factors like hormone levels. “There are millions of products out on the market that claims to “fix” your skin issues, but we encourage you to stop chasing the hype and get back to basics when it comes to treating your skin.” In this next YOUNGER podcast episode, I will discuss the basics of how to maintain good health through your skin.  There are many factors to consider, such as age, diet, exercise, sleep, and stress. Listen as I am inclusive in the opportunity for all to understand its powerful connection to living a youthful and regenerative life.

Low levels of cortisol can result in changes in skin color and pigmentation.” “It's very common women might experience acne alongside their monthly menstrual cycle due to their estrogen levels dropping!” “In the skin, estrogens affect the thickness, wrinkle formation, and moisture levels. Estrogens can also increase glycosaminoglycans such as Hyaluronic Acid, to maintain fluid balance and structural integrity.” “Testosterone is the hormone responsible for coarser hair and thicker, oily skin. This hormone is heavily involved in sebum production, and too much can cause acne, clogged pores, and other blemishes.”

Estradiol and estrone are completely cleared from blood by a single passage through the liver, and are inactivated by hydroxylation and conjugation with sulfate and glucuronide. Approximately 50% of the protein-bound estrogens in blood are conjugated with sulfate or glucuronide. Although the liver may excrete some conjugated estrogens in bile, they are reabsorbed in the lower part of small intestine and returned to the liver via portal vein by a typical enterohepatic circulatory pattern. Estrogens are also metabolized by hydroxylation and subsequent methylation to form catechol and methoxylated estrogens. Hydroxylation of estrogens yields 2-hydroxyestrogens, 4-hydroxyestrogens, and 16α-hydroxyestrogens (catechol estrogens). The kidney is the main route of excretion of estrogenic metabolites.” THEN give encouragement that if these women consider these steps and execute then they have a much better chance at delaying menopause.

Systemic estrogen, unlike local estrogen, affect every single cell in the body which means there is an impact on not only hot flashes but also your bones, your brain, your bladder, and your cardiovascular system along with your vulva and vagina. While there is a long list of benefits with both oral and transdermal systemic estrogen, the potential complications are where the differences come in. So, the decision to take an oral estrogen versus using a patch, spray, or skin gel is not just about personal preference, insurance coverage, and convenience, it's also about safety. It's about potential risks. It's about your personal medical history. In this episode, Dr. Streicher discusses:  The BENEFITS of oral and transdermal systemic estrogen The DIFFERENCE between oral and transdermal estrogen RISKS that are specific to ORAL estrogen products BENEFITS that are specific to ORAL estrogen products BENEFITS that are specific to TRANSDERMAL estrogen products Why the FDA label lists risks for estrogen products that are NOT TRUE TRANSVAGINAL systemic estrogen PROS and CONS of specific transdermal estrogen products Estrogen PATCHES  Estrogen GELS  Estrogen SPRAY  TOP TEN QUESTIONS my patients ask about transdermal estrogen For more information on this topic:  Hot Flash Hell: A Gynecologist's Guide to Turning Down the Heat Links to other episodes on this topic:  Episode 2:Think Your Hot Flashes Can't Kill You?

Joining us today is Jennifer Harrington, a Naturopath who specialises in helping women through their menopause experience chats to us about Phyto-Estrogens in Menopause - Enhancing Effectiveness for Better Outcomes. In this episode, Jen discusses: What phytoestrogens are What role do they play in therapy Why phytoestrogens often fail in larger clinical trials How to prioritise phytoestrogens in therapyAbout Jen: Jennifer's interest in natural therapies started when she was diagnosed with PCOS in her early twenties and was told she may struggle to ever have children.Upon graduating from naturopathy, she moved to Thailand and started working at the famous “Chiva Som International Health Resort”. It was an amazing experience and an opportunity to rub shoulders with the best minds in the industry, both from a traditional and modern medical perspective.Jennifer returned to Sydney in 2005 to become a mum. She is eternally grateful she found naturopathy and was able to have a child after all. After working in various Sydney-based clinics and corporate health businesses, Jennifer decided it was time to open her own clinic in 2010. After advertising as a hormone specialist, she found she had more menopausal clients than fertility clients. Her menopausal clients' fast transformations made her rethink her work, and she started Menopause Natural Solutions in 2014. As the years rolled by, she sold her bricks and mortar clinic to free up more time to dedicate herself to researching and creating a better way to help more perimenopausal and menopausal women. Connect with Jen: Website: Menopause Natural SolutionsInstagram: Menopause Natural SolutionsBuy Jen's book: From Invisible to Invincible Shownotes and references available on your local Designs for health website www.designsforhealth.com.au Register as a Designs for Health Practitioner and discover quality practitioner-only supplements at www.designsforhealth.com.auFollow us on SocialsInstagram: DesignsforhealthausFacebook: DesignsforhealthausDISCLAIMER: The Information provided in the Wellness by Designs podcast is for educational purposes only; the information presented is not intended to be used as medical advice; please seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional if what you have heard here today raises questions or concerns relating to your health

Today I'm talking about the hormones that are in your food, because our livestock are and chickens are very often fed estrogens, in order to again, fatten them up more quickly because the farmers are getting paid based on the weight.

Text me +1 (786) 364-5002 [00:20] About Dr. Jay + His Interest In Artificial Estrogens Jay got interested in artificial estrogens way back in college. In college, they told him the water from the faucet was full of birth control. It opened up an entire can of worms. Jay started to recognize fake estrogen chemicals all over the place. So, he compiled a top ten list of these daily exposures and wrote the book You can get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MRAFYZL/benazadi-20  [03:10] The Benefits of Getting Sunshine Every Single Day There are a lot of interesting genetic risks that are dependent on sunshine and basically fixed by getting out in the sun. Sunshine will help increase your body's metabolism. The sun will also help break down toxin removal. Laser removal of tattoos is literally zapping heavy metals. Those heavy metals are in big enough chunks that your immune system cannot clear them. Sunshine will zap the large chunks of heavy metals. Even if you don't have tattoos, the UV will help you break up toxins from under your skin. Jay's favorite benefit is that it increases your body's natural production of melanotan. Plus, sunshine will help combat seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Watch the video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Y-1fsJbd0A [12:25] An Intriguing Study! Total Cholesterol And All-Cause Mortality There's a study called: Total cholesterol and all-cause mortality by sex and age: a prospective cohort study among 12.8 million adults. You can check it out here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-38461-y The research is very clear about optimal levels for total cholesterol. When you get above 200 on your cholesterol, doctors will tell you that you need statins as soon as possible. Jay takes the prescriptions and then throws them out. However, if your blood sugar's above 85, fasted, that's a threefold higher risk of heart disease. Anything above 85 is not considered optimal. Americans will come in at 95, and a cardiologist will ignore that. [16:30] The Optimal Ranges For Your Vitamin D Levels 30 – 70 or 30 – 100 are optimal ranges. The average American is at 30. As soon as you get below 50, you see associations with health issues. For instance, people will suffer from gut issues, chronic fatigue, and depression with those levels. If you are at 200, there is some risk of calcifying your arteries. Keep it between 50 and 100 for optimization. Getting in the sun will bump your levels up to 70 or 80. [19:50] The Issues With Sunscreen - How Safe Is Sunscreen? The main ingredient is oxybenzone. It's a manmade chemical, and it acts like estrogen in your body. You do not want to rub it on your skin. After one application of sunscreen, oxybenzone levels were above the government's safety levels even one week later. The government limits are absurd, anyway! Estrogen chemicals don't kill the cells because they act like estrogen. It will do a lot of weird things to the cell instead. Zinc is an excellent alternative for sunscreen. Check out the products that Dr. Jay uses: https://www.ajconsultingcompany.com/whatiuse.html [24:25] Dr. Jay's Favorite Ways To Optimize Your Immune System   The best way to optimize your immune system is to sleep. Most people are sleep-deprived. Jay will get an hour and a half of deep sleep and an hour and a half of REM sleep. In college, Dr. Jay would sleep three hours a night. He would brag about it! Infrared lights will help you sleep way better. Also, the colder the bedroom, the deeper sleep you will get. Intermittent fasting will also help with your immune system. That way, your cells can take out the trash. Sunshine is another way to improve your immune system. Don't forget to get your skin in the sun – take those shirts off! [36:45] Why You Might Want To Think Twice About The Covid Vaccines When researchers do all these studies for pharmaceutical companies and come out with a drug, they don't actually have to release that study. When someone has an adverse reaction to a drug, the company has to release the study. With vaccines, the companies do not have to release the studies. So, the general public has not been able to see the vaccine study. We cannot see the study on the vaccine; that's a red flag. Also, this vaccine is very experimental. If the chemicals in these vaccines were in cleaning products, we wouldn't use them. [42:20] Unfortunately, The Vaccines Could Be Manipulating Your Epigenetics These vaccines could be messing with our epigenetics. There's a cool epigenetic study where they actually use electricity and zap rats every time they smell cherry blossoms. Cherry blossoms smell good, but the zap gave them an aversion to the blossoms. The offspring of the rats would have a fear response to cherry blossoms. Epigenetics is super powerful.   [45:30] Covid-19 In America: It's Time To Wake The [BLEEP] Up! The only positive lining in this whole Covid thing is it's woken a lot of people up to how much shenanigans goes on behind the scenes. Sadly, scientists are manipulating data. You pick your own peer reviewers – it is easily manipulated. You saw the same thing with the manipulation of Covid numbers. People should have the freedom to get the vaccines, and they should have the freedom not to get the vaccine. We should never blindly accept anything that comes out of pharmaceutical companies. [51:50] How Well Do Face Masks Even Work? Herd Immunity For The Win! If you wear the wrong type of face masks, it can disperse the droplets even more. N95 mask will help people with autoimmune conditions. In fact, they should give them away to those people. Everyone else should not wear masks. We want herd immunity! Herd immunity works, and it's successful. AND MUCH MORE!

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog/ What are the factors that stimulate or inhibit your own Testosterone (T) production? There are foods, supplements and activities that stimulate testosterone production, Just as there are foods, supplements and activities that lower your internal T production. Today I would like to address the factors that increase the production of testosterone in both men and women.   However, there are limitations on these nonmedical pathways to a higher testosterone level: 1. One is your age. If you are a woman and menopausal then there are no foods or lifestyle changes that will stimulate your ovary to come back to life and make testosterone.  Women have a finite lifespan for their production of estradiol and testosterone, and it ends at menopause.  Estrogens can be made in the fat and the adrenal but pure testosterone is only made in the ovary, and when the ovaries “die” that's the end of testosterone production. 2. Men make testosterone throughout their lives, but their testes become resistant to stimulation around age 55, but they can become resistant as early as age 40, and then nothing other than T replacement will increase testosterone levels. 3. A person's body has a genetically driven sensitivity to the hormone Testosterone. Your heritage or the origin of your ancestors determine how you will “feel” with a particular blood level of testosterone. This has been studied by looking at the genetics of the T receptor on all the cells of your body. Receptors are more sensitive the closer you get to the equator in the western hemisphere, and the receptors are less sensitive if your ancestors' origin was closer to the north and south poles than if they were from around the equator.  A certain level of testosterone doesn't have the same effect testosterone on both groups.  In other words, those genes from around the equator need less testosterone to get the same effect as those people from extreme high and low latitudes. We are all different and our genes have an effect on our treatment. If you are a menopausal woman or over 40 then the manipulations of diet and exercise will be less likely to increase your testosterone production. There are foods and activities that inherently stimulate your internal testosterone production if you are a woman under 40 or a man under 50.  After that you generally must replace your T to improve your symptoms of low Testosterone. Eating fewer fast foods and more of a well-balanced Mediterranean diet with fresh foods can optimize your testosterone production. High protein diets with grass fed animal foods and plenty of fish will optimize your testosterone production. Cholesterol containing foods provide the necessary building blocks for Testosterone in the body. Getting to your ideal weight will increase the free Testosterone in your blood stream making you feel your testosterone more. Getting 7-8 hours of sleep a night will increase the production of T, because T production is stimulated at night when you sleep. Sleeping in a dark room stimulates the production of Testosterone, Growth hormone (muscle development) and Melatonin (deep sleep). Daily moderate Exercise (not necessarily running a marathon) will stimulate your production of Testosterone. Supplements can stimulate production of Testosterone. There are several supplements targeted to stimulate testosterone that contain carnitine, inositol, choline. Protein in the diet provides the building blocks of muscle and testosterone and allow the activities and foods that stimulate the production of T have something to build with. People with a low protein diet (no eggs, fish, beans, milk products or meat) have a more difficult time making T. Most combination supplements that are touted on TV to increase your T are herbs and supplements that decrease estrogens like DIM, or supplements that increase your T by providing the hormones that are precursors to T like Pregnenalone and DHEA. Herb Fenugreek 500 mg increases free T production Decrease in DHT with the herb Saw Palmetto can decrease the production of DHT and increase free Testosterone, however it is important not to decrease the DHT too much because it is important in sex drive and building muscle. Ashwagandha decreases cortisol, and cortisol binding protein that inactivates T, therefore it can increase free T. If you are taking T supplementation, then don't take this supplement because it can cause you to not feel your free T. Zinc piccolate and Arginine improves prostate function and health, therefore your volume of ejaculate increases, and free testosterone is improved as well Lastly supplements that increase your erectile function by increasing Nitric Oxide e.g.  Neo 40.

On this week's episode, we're joined by the Director of Clinical Education for Precision Analytical, Dr. Debbie Rice, to explain estrogen and estrogen metabolism. Dr. Rice is an expert in female hormone health and will dive into the complexities of estrogen including where it's created, how the body uses it, and what happens when there's too much. Join us this week as we talk about the importance of estrogen and why it's so often misunderstood.

Today’s show is with Lauren Finnerty, FNP a nurse practitioner at Victory Men’s Health. The topic of the show is FAQ’s about testosterone therapy. FAQ’s covered are: Can I increase my testosterone naturally? Why is my testosterone low in the first place? Will starting with just the supplements and lifestyle changes raise my levels? My testosterone is higher but so is my estrogen, should I be concerned? Do I need an estrogen blocker while on TRT? Will testosterone give me gynecomastia? My doctor said I’m in the “normal” reference range but I have symptoms. What does that mean? What are the benefits of estrogen in men?

Dr. Patrick Flynn, DC is the founder of The Wellness Way Clinics. In his youth, he experienced a series of events that led him to discover immune and neurological issues. This discovery prompted Dr. Flynn to begin his health journey, define his life purpose, and initiate the pursuit of his education.  It ultimately led him to his dynamic career, where he has created a totally different approach to healthcare.  Dr. Flynn is the bestselling author of the book, I Disagree. His wildly popular public seminar, The Hormone Connection, has been viewed by hundreds of thousands of people. He has trained thousands of doctors and his network is now comprised of over 80 clinics around the world. In this episode, Dr. Flynn discusses the role of estrogens in Breast Cancer.  How many doctors fail to do the right labwork and identify the pathways that need support.  According to Dr. Flynn, women's hormones are not the cause of Breast Cancer.  Regardless of genetics, it is learning how to metabolize hormones properly which is the key.  

Anxiety was escalating at a rapid rate before 2020, and now it's just crazy. Long-haulers, mandates, lockdowns, wars, masks, headlines, our kids.....let's just say it isn't expected to  get any better anytime soon, hence counseling services are increasing, doctors visits and prescriptions are increasing, but so are people searching for information and trying to solve their anxiety puzzle without medications, on their own. There are tons of options for medications, supplements, and general advice out there - where do you turn and what do you do?? Understand the mechanisms of anxiety, neuroinflammation, and autoimmunity. UNDERSTANDING MECHANISMS PROVIDE SOLUTIONS!I have at least 20 things in my Vitamin Store that I have used in my clinic that have helped people tremendously with anxiety, including magnesium, CBD, L-theanine, B6 and other B vitamins, keto diet, avoiding gluten or dairy, binders, methyl donors, sauna,  herbs for pathogens, probiotics, adaptogens, vagus nerve stimulation. Some of these people were mold, Lyme, EBV, IBS, or autoimmune disease patients with a list of 10+ other symptoms, but some were kids, moms, dads, people who just dealt with a lot of anxiety but otherwise had few complaints. It can happen to anybody. What are the mechanisms for YOU?? Here is a list of 10 things you need to know about when searching for the next clue to solve your health puzzle:1. Mitochondria - the batteries behind it all!! Also the cause behind it all.....listen to episodes 30, 31, 32 for more info on mitochondria but you have a QUADRILLION of them in your brain, so they are kinda important.....2. Brain Cells - Neurons vs. Microglia vs. Mast Cells vs. Astrocytes.....you don't need to know everything, but a little bit about each one can help!3. Brain Regions - limbic regions - amygdala, insula, hippocampus, hypothalamus; cerebellar-vestibular regions4. Neurotransmitters - GABA/Glutamate, Serotonin, Dopamine, Acetycholine, Epinephrine, Norepipheprine5. Hormones - HPA Axis (adrenals), Thyroid, Androgens, Estrogens, and most importantly Cortisol 6. Blood-Brain-Barrier - protector of the brain - damaged by head traumas, glutathione depletion, histamine, gut inflammation and permeability (leaky gut)7. Dysfunctional Pathways - Reactive Oxygen/Nitrogen Species (ROS/RNS), LPS, Mast Cell Activation, Kynurenine Pathway, Methylation, NO/ONOO, iNOS, excitotoxins (MSG, red 40), EMF radiation8. Nervous System Balance - Sympathetic/Parasympathetic balance - "fight or flight" vs. "rest and digest"9. Mitophagy/Autophagy - the clearing of "junk" from the brain10. Autoimmunity! - Self-tissue antibodies against things like GAD-65, cerebellum, thyroid, Myelin Basic Protein, Synapsin, Asiologanglioside, etcThese are 10 heavy topics!! But they are all important. You don't need to know everything about them, but knowing a little bit about each topic can help you figure out a bit more what's going on in your brain!

Do you experience PMS? Maybe you just want to optimize your hormones? Then listen through this episode. April dives into three specific estrogens and the genes correlated with them. Knowing your genetics rather than guessing, you can then use epigentics (altering lifestyle to modify the expression of your genes) to change your estrogen production. We talk about the genes CYP1A1, CYP1A2 and CYP1B1 along with 2-hydroxy, 16-hydroxy and 4-hydroxy estrogens. How can you get your genetics tested?
