Have you ever felt like your hormones are running the show? One minute you're energized, the next you're dragging—or maybe those hot flashes and mood swings are making life way harder than it needs to be. The thing is, not all hormone therapies work the same, and that's where compounding comes in. Dr. Sahar Swidan, PHARM.D., ABAAHP, FAARFM, FACA, is back to break down what you need to know about custom-compounded hormones, different formulations, and how to figure out what's actually best for your body. Dr. Sahar is a powerhouse when it comes to compounding pharmacy and hormone health, and we're getting into the real talk about hormone therapy—what's backed by science, what's just hype, and what actually works. We're covering everything from the latest research on hormone replacement to the surprising ways your skincare could be messing with your balance. Plus, if you're curious about longevity, we're sharing simple, natural ways to keep your body thriving without going overboard. There's a lot to unpack, and trust me—you don't want to miss this conversation. If your energy's been low, your hormones feel off, or you just want to understand your body better, you'll love this episode. And speaking of feeling your best, I have to mention Mighty Maca Plus—my go-to superfood blend that's been a game changer for so many women.

About the Expert Elizabeth Yurth, MD, ABPMR, ABAARM, FAARM, FAARFM, FSSRP is Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Boulder Longevity Institute, where she has been providing Tomorrow's Medicine Today to her clients since 2006. Dr. Yurth obtained her Medical Degree from the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine, completed her residency at the University of California – Irvine, and her Fellowship in Sports and Spine Medicine from Stanford-affiliated Sports Orthopedics and Rehabilitation (SOAR) in Palo Alto, CA. Along with her 30 years as a practicing orthopedist specializing in sports and spine medicine, Dr. Yurth has made it her mission to learn and share the latest scientific research on how to truly heal the body at the cellular level. She is Fellowship trained in Anti-Aging, Regenerative, and Cellular Medicine and has completed +500 hours of CME training focused on Longevity, Nutrition, Epigenetics, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, Regenerative Peptide Treatments, and Regenerative Orthopedic Procedures. Dr. Yurth continues to serve as a thought leader in Cellular Medicine, speaking at longevity events across the world and teaching others through her position as a founding faculty member for Seeds Scientific Research and Performance Institute (SSRP), which leads the way in connecting the latest research to clinical practice.

This week I have my very good friend and world renown cellular health expert, longevity specialist and orthopedic surgeon Dr Elizabeth Yurth  (MD, ABPMR, ABAARM, FAARM, FAARFM, FSSRP) of the Boulder Longevity Institute to guest.   Locked away in a vault somewhere deep inside the Boulder Longevity Institute lies the secret everyone wishes they could get their hands on – the supplement routine of Dr. Elizabeth Yurth. As Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of BLI, clients and non-clients alike long to know what perfect blend of supplementation Dr. Yurth uses. Someone in this position must have it down pat! Well, the disappointing answer is: One size does not fit all. What suits the current lifestyle, biology, and needs of Dr. Yurth may be a far cry from the needs of other individuals. We are all unique, and alas, so are our supplement requirements. However Dr. Yurth does offer an overview of supplements that are beneficial to virtually everyone. The areas of cell membrane, gut, and mitochondrial health are key focus points when it comes to more generalised selection of appropriate supplements. For those who are looking to reach a solid baseline that promotes health and longevity, these daily supplements could be the answer. As always, we remind that every individual is different, and you should consult with a physician before starting any new health routines.    Dr. Elizabeth Yurth Bio   Elizabeth Yurth, MD is Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Boulder Longevity Institute, where she has been providing Tomorrow's Medicine Today to her clients since 2006.

A strong proponent of holistic and integrative medicine, Dr. Rao is certified in Medical Acupuncture from UCLA, Board Certified in Internal Medicine and Functional Medicine and Anti-Aging.

This book epitomizes lifestyle medicine and covers the essential components of nutrition, the microbiome, hydration, mental tranquility, sleep, and exercise and their impact on your well-being. These findings are based on both doctors' personal and professional experiences. Today Dr. Rao is focusing on the health benefits of fasting: “Our bodies were built on surviving in scarcity and now most of us live with abundance of choices when it comes to nutrition. This excess can result in stress to our bodies. What we eat matters but research has shown us when we eat matters too in fighting inflammation in our bodies. Periods of rest for our gut and liver can improve our health in many ways. It can help us become resilient and strengthen our immune system, improve metabolic markers, manage weight, remove inefficient cells, and much more. Published copies of Body on Fire are available on Amazon, BPC Publishers, or through bookstores nationwide.

As you've heard me say, if we're not getting rid of toxins, they're going to store in certain areas of our body—like our fat. As I've told my patients for years, if you're struggling with weight loss, it could be an over burdened body by toxins. Think of it this way—your body won't release fat because it's protecting itself from the toxins. It's so necessary to clear out the filters of our body… including our liver. We change the filters on our cars often, but what about our body? Check it out at https://www.drlisao.com/collections/all Balance...

According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, an estimated 27 million Americans have thyroid disease, and more than half of those individuals are undiagnosed and unaware that they have a thyroid condition.However, it's important to understand that if more comprehensive thyroid testing was used by doctors and functional reference ranges were used to interpret that testing instead of the overly lax lab reference ranges, a much larger number of people would be classified as having some type of thyroid dysfunction.Most doctors rely almost exclusively on the thyroid stimulating hormone or TSH test to detect thyroid dysfunction, yet TSH is not even technically a marker of thyroid function, it's actually a marker of pituitary function. Even worse, the medical community can't even agree on what the normal reference range is for the TSH test.My other issue with conventional medicine is its refusal to actually look at underlying causes of thyroid dysfunction including but not limited to gut inflammation, chronic stress, adrenal issues, nutrient deficiencies, toxins in our food, air, and water, and chronic infections such as periodontal disease and h. Pylori.The thyroid's primary function is to control the body's metabolism – the rate at which cells perform duties essential to living. It manages how we turn our food into energy by facilitating the processes of energy production in the mitochondria. I want you to think of your thyroid as your body's “engine,” which sets the pace at which the body operates. Too little thyroid hormone can cause the body's systems to slow down, and too much thyroid hormone can cause the body's systems to speed up.In today's episode, I've brought back my friend and pharmacist Jim Paoletti to talk about this amazing gland that does so much for us. In fact, there's not a single cell in the body that doesn't depend on thyroid hormone in some way.Jim Paoletti, B.S.

Episode Highlights [03:30] Breaking the Misconceptions about Arthritis Arthritis is more than a wear-and-tear condition; it's an inflammatory disease process.  It is not limited to the elderly. The disease process can begin with minor injuries, even those sustained as a child. Arthritis is a combination of genetics and environmental factors triggered by trauma.  [08:25] Arthritis as an Inflammatory Disease Process   Arthritis is a disease process like neurodegenerative and cardiac illnesses.  Our bodies follow a balanced way to deal with injuries. It releases the level of cytokines that set off the body's response to healing and recovery. Afterwards, cytokine levels fall, and anti-inflammatory proteins take over. The disease process begins during Imbalance in any part of the process. It can be started as too many cytokines lead to zombie cells and lack of autophagy. [12:20] General Approaches to Addressing Arthritis  Turn off inflammatory cytokines through simple supplements like curcumin or epigallocatechin.  Turning down the inflammatory response allows the injury to heal better.  Inducing autophagy or knocking off the bad cells helps reduce injury as well.  [13:36]  Arthritis is a Preventable Disease  Arthritis is a disease that should be given more attention, as it has a significant impact on people's quality of life. It is the primary cause of disability among people of working age.  Arthritis is preventable to a large degree, despite genetics and other factors.  [18:32] Current Orthopedic Treatments for Arthritis  The focus in addressing arthritis is to treat the disease process. Steroid injections temporarily reduce inflammatory cytokines, but they also inhibit those that aid in healing. Arthroscopic surgery can provide immediate comfort. However, it can also inflict tears that can cause the rapid progression of arthritis. Back fusion can help cases of spinal instability. However, for degenerative discs, the long-term success rate of surgery is around 10% of those who undergo it. [24:09]  Degenerative Disc Disease as an Inflammatory Disease  Degenerative disc disease is an inflammatory disease caused by high levels of cytokines. This includes the nuclear factor kappa beta. The goal is to focus on the issues that cause disc destruction, such as elevated cytokine levels, rather than the disc itself. Ageing processes, like degeneration, should serve as a wake-up call to reconsider one's diet. This also includes reconsidering supplements, and exercise, as well as one's cardiovascular health. [27:18]  Changing the Perspective about Arthritis People should be aware that arthritis begins in their 20s, similar to brain disorders, heart ailments, and cancers.    All these immune and inflammatory diseases come down to curing ageing.  We need to take proactive steps and opt for longevity instead of a mechanical standard of care.  Opting for the ‘expensive' care earlier will save you time, stress, and money. People often exhaust traditional options first before pursuing longevity treatments.  [38:49] Pentosan Polysulfate: ‘A Cure for Arthritis' Pentosan polysulfate is a repurposed drug that reduces cytokines causing degenerative disc pain.  According to studies, even after just six weeks of using Pentosan Polysulfate, you can continue to reap the advantages for up to a year. [45:07] Vitamins and Supplements to Combat Arthritis  Another strategy to fight arthritis is to make sure your nutrients are optimised. Vitamins D and C, and zinc are critical but straightforward micronutrients. Epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG, has many benefits that aid in addressing arthritis. Its benefits include muscle-building, fat loss, and myostatin blocking. [47:07] Benefits of Gaining Muscle Muscle, as an organ, produces endocrine glands, and myokines have very beneficial effects on joints.   Those with sarcopenia or muscle loss are more likely to develop joint arthritis. Electrical stimulation of muscles can be done for individuals who are further along in a disease process. Static contraction or contracting the muscles for three seconds every hour also helps muscle-building.  [51:03]  Inducing Autophagy Process Using Spermidine  Spermidine is a polyamine compound that comes from bacteria in certain foods.  Polyamine is produced by the human body as well. However, as we become older, we make less of it. It is an autophagy-Inducing agent that aids in getting rid of damaged cells.  Spermidine works better than steroids at reducing inflammation. It preserves the joints without making them worse. [54:06] Trehalose: The ‘Sugar Substitute' Trehalose is glucose that impacts oxidative stress and helps clean up the cells.  It has zero glycemic impact, which helps blood glucose under control.  Trehalose is looked at for neurodegenerative diseases but can benefit joint pain.  [56:57] Peptide Therapies as Simple, Inexpensive Aid  If you are looking for simple, inexpensive aid, collagen peptides can also be beneficial.  They typically are part of a mixture including Vitamin C, which helps cartilage cells.  A more expensive option is aggressive peptides, like BPC 157 or Body Protection Compound 157. These peptides can aid joint regeneration. It's vital to understand the role of inflammation in arthritis rather than jumping at treatments, like stem cell therapy. [59:54] The Role of Stressed Immune System  Almost every disease is related to over-aggressive, pro-inflammatory cytokines, disruption in mitochondrial function, and autophagy.  Ageing causes a significant number of diseases.  The immune system goes awry for many reasons, including viral exposures. [59:54] Antiviral Drugs, Hormones, and Fasting Antiviral drugs, hormones, and fasting can help the immune system fight diseases as healthy as possible.  EGCG and curcumin are natural compounds that have some antiviral properties. Acyclovir is also a safe choice for combatting the herpes virus and Epstein-Barr, among others.   Our immune system produces fewer hormones as we become older. Our bodies need hormones to function, so we need to replace them somehow. Hormones have huge immune-modulating properties that help stop oxidative stress.  The immune system benefits from the recovery period following a fast. It can be very beneficial to clear out dead cells. [1:08:55] Rapamycin and Metformin: The ‘Future' of Arthritis Rapamycin is a chemotherapeutic medication with a solid immune-modulating effect.  It is well-known for activating autophagy, which can lengthen lifespan in all mammalian species scientists have studied. Metformin is an inexpensive medication that keeps glucose control.  It has some interesting studies on arthritis. One study shows the overlapping benefits in cardiovascular, renal, cancer, and obesity protection.  7 Powerful Quotes “[Arthritis as an inflammatory disease process] is the same thing that goes on with COVID. Right? Yes. Why do some people die of COVID? [It's] usually not the virus itself -- it's the immune reaction to the virus.”   “So we know we have to treat [cytokines] and not the disc itself. That's the end game. Treat the problem that's causing the disc damage.”   “...[W]e're really trying to get into the heads of these [20-year-olds] and say, the [disease process starts when you're] 20. Yeah, like your brain diseases, your heart diseases, and your cancers are all those processes are starting in our 20s.”   “The plastic surgeons are doing fine. [P]eople are more than willing to spend that money on their facelifts and things like that [than] internally to feel better.”   “You can have no cartilage and no pain or no discs, and no gain. The pain is an inflammatory sign.” “Go back, go back up the tree. And then you had all of the diseases in mitochondria and information.” "Be it cancer, metabolic disease, cardiovascular disease, or neurologic arthritis, they're all the same disease. You've got to get the immune system as healthy as possible. You have to stop oxidative stress."

I am excited to welcome a fellow nurse practitioner, Dr. Stephanie Gray, as my guest for today's show!  Stephanie Gray, DNP, MS, ARNP, AGNP-C, ABAAHP, FAARFM, is a functional medicine provider who helps men and women build sustainable and optimal health and longevity so that they can focus on what matters most to them!   Stephanie helps women in mid-life, who feel like their bodies have betrayed them, step back into their bodies by restoring optimal hormone levels so they can regain their sleep, figure, mood, and feel amazing once again. She is known for keeping hormone replacement therapy sexy, safe, and effective. Stephanie saw a lot of incontinence while doing her graduate training in nursing homes. She realized that urinary incontinence was the primary reason for people being admitted to long-term care facilities. So she learned the art of pessary fitting, and through that, discovered that there were non-surgical and non-pharmacological options for urinary incontinence. Those options helped people regain some dignity and allowed them to stay in their own homes. Stephanie decided that there had to be a similar approach for every other condition, so she sought out the necessary training, became a nurse practitioner, and started a practice of her own. Be sure to listen in today, to hear Stephanie's story, and learn all you need to know about hormones and hormone therapy. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Stephanie discusses what motivated her to focus on hormone therapy. Stephanie's health journey led her along the route of learning functional medicine, which involved optimizing her hormones. The first signs of hormonal imbalance in the body, which could tip people off that there is something wrong.
