Today we're diving into the world of corticosteroids and hormonal therapies — essential APIs that treat everything from asthma and autoimmune diseases to diabetes and endocrine disorders. These molecules may be decades old, but their manufacturing remains highly complex and critical to patients worldwide.Our guest is Olivier Roux, a Senior Director at Curia. He shares how Curia partners with both startups and big pharma to simplify steroid API challenges, solve supply issues, and prepare for next-generation innovations. If you want to understand what it really takes to bring these life-changing therapies to patients, stay tuned — this conversation is packed with insights you won't want to miss.01:39 Meet Olivier Roux02:20 What corticosteroids and hormonal therapies are04:40 Evolution of steroidal hormonal therapies05:50 Common uses of corticosteroids today07:40 Key drivers of market growth10:06 Curia's agile outsourcing solutions for steroids16:05 Importance of particle size control for steroids17:18 Aseptic processing and high potency handlingThis episode was produced with the support of Curia.

This week I’m getting into what’s actually happening to your body during prep at a hormonal and metabolic level — without turning it into a physiology lecture. Leptin, cortisol, thyroid function, metabolic adaptation — these aren’t abstract concepts, they’re the reason you feel the way you feel at six weeks out, and understanding what’s driving those changes makes the experience less alarming and the decisions easier. I’ll keep it accessible but give you enough depth to actually understand what your body is doing and why. Then I’m talking about something I’m navigating in real time right now — running a full coaching business while being an athlete in my own prep. What the dual identity actually costs, how I’m managing it, and the strategy I’m using right now that’s working — staying deliberately busier than usual as a distraction tool to keep my head out of the hunger and in the work. I’ll also be honest about the fact that this approach has an expiration date, and what the pivot looks like when it stops working.

In this episode of The Hormone Genius Podcast, we sit down with Olivia Chasteen, Director of SymptoPro Fertility Education, to have an honest and empowering conversation about women's health, fertility awareness, and the gap between conventional care and true root-cause solutions. So many women are handed quick fixes, band-aid solutions that often mask symptoms rather than address what's really going on. Hormonal contraception is frequently prescribed as a way to “regulate” cycles, yet it doesn't actually restore or regulate the body's natural rhythms, and it comes with real side effects that can impact nearly every system in a woman's body. Olivia shares how the SymptoPro method, a sympto-thermal approach to Natural Family Planning (NFP), offers a science-based, effective alternative that works with a woman's body instead of against it. We explore the history and effectiveness of SymptoPro, including how it has helped couples confidently avoid pregnancy when used correctly, while also serving as a powerful tool for those trying to conceive. But this conversation goes far beyond family planning. Cycle tracking is a window into a woman's overall health. Whether married, single, trying to conceive, or simply wanting to understand her body better, charting can reveal valuable insights from hormonal imbalances to thyroid concerns, luteal phase defects, and more. Olivia explains how even women with no immediate fertility goals can benefit deeply from learning to read the signs their bodies are giving them each day. We also dive into the reality that charting isn't always straightforward—and that's okay. If your charts feel confusing or inconsistent, it doesn't mean your body is broken. It means there's more to uncover. Olivia walks through practical troubleshooting strategies and emphasizes the importance of individualized support and education. In a culture that often paints the female body as inconvenient or flawed, true healing begins when we learn to understand and respect what our bodies are communicating. There is real support. There are real answers. And there is real beauty in understanding your fertility. What the SymptoPro method is and how long it's been helping women and couples How effective SymptoPro is for avoiding pregnancy when used correctly How it supports couples trying to conceive Why cycle tracking is a powerful health tool for all women, not just those planning families What your fertility chart can reveal about your overall health Practical tips for when charting feels confusing or overwhelming Why one method may not fit everyone, and how to find the right approach for you The deeper issue with “quick fix” solutions in women's healthcare Olivia also shares her work as a Certified Lactation Consultant, wellness professional, and instructor serving families in rural Wisconsin where access to fertility education and medical support can be limited, yet deeply needed.

What if the biggest obstacle standing between you and your next breakthrough isn't a lack of effort, motivation, or strategy—but the fact that you're solving the wrong problem? In this eye-opening episode of the Health Coach Academy Podcast, we sit down with entrepreneur, business strategist, author, and coach Kevin St. Clergy to explore the powerful concept of Blind Blaming—the hidden habit of misdiagnosing problems and focusing on symptoms instead of root causes. Kevin shares his remarkable journey from audiologist to multi-million-dollar business owner, revealing how he built and sold a thriving marketing and coaching company, overcame personal and professional setbacks, and developed a transformational framework that is now helping entrepreneurs, coaches, and leaders create lasting change. From mindset and business growth to health challenges like sleep apnea and hormone imbalances, this conversation uncovers how blind spots can quietly sabotage success—and how coaches can better serve clients by identifying what's really holding them back. In This Episode, You'll Learn: What "Blind Blaming" is and how it affects business, health, relationships, and personal growth Kevin's incredible journey from audiologist to successful entrepreneur and business coach The life-changing childhood experience that inspired his book Beyond Blind Blaming Why solving the wrong problem keeps people stuck for years How coaches can uncover the true root causes behind client struggles The surprising health issue Kevin mistook for ADHD Why mindset often matters more than tactics when pursuing health and business goals The power of coaching, mentorship, and mastermind groups How to avoid analysis paralysis and build momentum through decisive action Why many health coaches fail to address mindset and identity shifts in their clients The role of sleep, hormones, and hidden health issues in weight loss resistance How limiting beliefs and self-sabotage impact business growth Practical ways coaches can improve client results by asking better questions Kevin's RCD Framework for Breaking Free from Blind Blaming One of the highlights of this episode is Kevin's simple yet powerful RCD Method: R – Reflect Ask yourself: "Is there something else going on that I can't see?" Before jumping to conclusions, take a step back and evaluate whether you're addressing the true source of the problem. C – Connect Seek outside perspective through: Coaches Mentors Mastermind groups Healthcare professionals Trusted advisors Often, the solution is hidden because you're too close to the situation to recognize it yourself. D – Decide Kevin's favorite version: MFD – Make a F*ing Decision** Progress requires action. Even if the decision isn't perfect, momentum creates clarity and opens the door for course correction. Why This Episode Matters for Health Coaches Health coaches often focus on nutrition plans, workouts, accountability, and behavior change. But as Kevin explains, many clients are unknowingly battling deeper issues such as: Sleep apnea Hormonal imbalances Limiting beliefs Identity conflicts Self-sabotage Poor mindset conditioning Without addressing these root causes, even the best coaching programs can struggle to deliver lasting results. This episode provides a valuable framework for helping clients uncover what is really standing in their way. Memorable Quotes from Kevin St. Clergy "People aren't failing at solving their problems—they're solving the wrong problem perfectly." "Every new level has a new devil." "When you know who you serve, you're not selling anymore. You're interviewing." "Reflect. Connect. Make a decision."   Final Thoughts Whether you're a health coach, entrepreneur, consultant, or someone striving to reach the next level in life, this episode serves as a powerful reminder that lasting transformation starts by identifying the right problem. If you've ever felt stuck despite working hard, Kevin's Blind Blaming framework may be the missing piece you've been looking for. Listen Now Tune in to discover how uncovering hidden blind spots can transform your health, business, relationships, and overall success—and learn why the question, "What am I not seeing?" may be the most important question you'll ever ask.

Most people think fat loss is just about eating less.And while your diet determines whether or not you lose weight, your training determines what that weight loss actually looks like from a physique standpoint.Are you losing body fat while maintaining muscle and building a leaner, stronger, more defined physique?Or are you just becoming a smaller, scrawnier version of yourself?That distinction comes down to how you train through the diet, and most dieters get it wrong.In Part 1 of this Fat Loss Series, I broke down the nutrition side of the fat loss process and how to create a calorie deficit without creating a nutrient deficit. In this episode, we shift into the training side and break down why resistance training is non-negotiable during a deficit, what it actually protects, how to structure it for muscle preservation, and the common training mistakes that derail dieters who feel like they're doing everything right.HERE'S WHAT WE COVER:WHY YOUR DIET DETERMINES WEIGHT LOSS BUT YOUR TRAINING DETERMINES YOUR PHYSIQUEWHY MUSCLE MASS IS THE FOUNDATION OF A BETTER LOOKING, BETTER PERFORMING PHYSIQUETHE METABOLIC, HORMONAL & APPETITE CONSEQUENCES OF LOSING MUSCLE DURING A DIETWHY HYPERPHAGIA & BODY FAT OVERSHOOTING DERAIL POST-DIET MAINTENANCETHE RESEARCH BACKING RESISTANCE TRAINING AS THE MOST EFFECTIVE FORM OF EXERCISE DURING A DEFICITPROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD AS THE FOUNDATION OF EFFECTIVE FAT LOSS TRAININGTHE DOUBLE PROGRESSION MODEL AND HOW TO USE IT IN A DEFICITHOW TO MANAGE TRAINING VOLUME, INTENSITY & EFFORT THROUGH A CUTTHE NUANCE OF PROGRESSION AND PERFORMANCE CHANGES AS YOU GET LEANERPROACTIVE VS REACTIVE PROGRAMMING DURING A FAT LOSS PHASETHE FOUR TRAINING MISTAKES THAT QUIETLY SABOTAGE FAT LOSS PHASESWHY TURNING LIFTING INTO CARDIO BACKFIRESTHE HIDDEN COST OF OVER-RELYING ON HIIT DURING A DEFICITWHY PROGRAM HOPPING REMOVES PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD FROM THE EQUATIONTHE MINDSET SHIFT THAT SEPARATES DIETERS WHO PRESERVE MUSCLE FROM THOSE WHO DON'TIf you've ever finished a Fat Loss Phase feeling smaller but not better, or felt like your physique didn't look the way you expected after weeks of effort, this episode will give you the framework to approach your next cut the right way.WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG: https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/For Info on Brandon's Coaching Services: https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiryEmail: Bdacruzfitness@gmail.comMy Reading Recommendations:THE MUSCLE & STRENGTH PYRAMIDShttps://getdpd.com/cart/hoplink/25469?referrer=1l54og96lf1ccw

My guest is Dr. Pedram Shojai, The Urban Monk. He is a New York Times bestselling author and a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, and the man who first came on this show talking about stress and the nervous system. Years later, after a wild full-circle moment in a group coaching call, we are back together to talk about what he is doing NOW: the connection between the nervous system and the oral and gut microbiomes. In this episode we connect every dot for the midlife woman who has been told she is fine. The stress-and-biome loop. Why your mouthwash may be sabotaging you.  If you have been guessing about your gut and oral health and throwing supplements at a problem you have never tested, this is your invitation to stop guessing.

If you want the full episode, check the link in the description below. Listen to the full episode Listen to the full episode on iTunes If you have been told menopause is just hot flashes, aging, and something you have to "push through," this episode will challenge that entire narrative. In this episode, I sit down with Maria Claps and Kristin Johnson, the founders of Wise and Well and authors of The Great Menopause Myth. Maria is an FDN practitioner, and Kristin is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner board-certified in holistic nutrition. They are plainspoken friends, practitioners, and menopausal women themselves who are deeply passionate about helping women thrive in midlife. Maria and Kristin combine clinical experience, personal experience, nutrition, lifestyle strategies, lab testing, mindset coaching, and hormone replacement therapy education to help women understand what is really happening during perimenopause and menopause. In this conversation, we talk about why hormone health matters far beyond symptom relief. We discuss estrogen receptors, hormone replacement therapy, estradiol, estriol, cyclical progesterone dosing, hormone cycling, senescent cells, aging, brain health, vascular health, hair, joints, and the myths that continue to keep women confused and under-supported. This episode is for any woman who wants a more nuanced, educated, and honest conversation about menopause, HRT, bioidentical hormones, and what it means to truly age well. In The Full Episode, We Cover: Why hormone replacement therapy may impact overall health beyond hot flashes How estrogen receptors are found throughout the body, including areas like the eyes and ears Why optimal hormone levels may support hair, joints, brain health, vascular health, and quality of life How hormone cycling may better mimic the body's natural rhythms Why Maria and Kristin prefer cyclical progesterone dosing over static hormone dosing How static hormone dosing may contribute to breakthrough bleeding, water retention, or other unwanted symptoms Why estradiol is often misunderstood and feared despite its potential benefits How high doses of estriol may cause unwanted effects in some women Why topical progesterone may be helpful for women who do not tolerate oral progesterone well Why hormone health matters beyond symptom management How The Great Menopause Myth offers a different perspective on menopause and aging Why many women still receive inadequate medical support during menopause How misconceptions about hormone therapy can leave women isolated and misinformed Why more research is needed using bioidentical hormones How upcoming studies may compare traditional HRT to physiologic hormone restoration Why achieving hormone levels closer to a healthy younger woman may be beneficial for some women How proper hormone cycling may support lighter periods and fewer PMS symptoms Why the current narrative around menopause can hurt women     Sponsors Head to cozyearth.com and use my code HORMONES for 20% off sitewide! And if you get a Post-Purchase Survey, make sure to let them know you heard about Cozy Earth right here!     Are you in perimenopause or postmenopause and struggling with symptoms—but not getting the support you deserve?

In this episode of Dismantling You, I sit down with Dr. Stephanie McNally, a women's health physician affiliated with the Katz Institute for Women's Health at Northwell Health. We pull back the curtain on the parts of women's health that so often go unspoken: fertility, perimenopause, menopause, and the hormonal shifts that shape how we feel at every stage. Dr. McNally explains why so many women misread their own bodies, how the birth control pill can mask underlying hormonal patterns, and why regular cycles do not automatically mean everything is fine underneath. We also talk about the importance of listening to your body and getting curious instead of dismissing symptoms as just stress or aging.From there we go deep on hormone therapy and why the science has been so badly misunderstood for decades, including what newer research suggests about heart and cognitive protection when therapy starts at the right time. We unpack the truth about menopause weight gain and metabolism, why sleep should be treated as a vital sign, and how mood, anxiety, and hormones are far more connected than most of us were ever taught. Dr. McNally also speaks candidly about access to care, the cultural silence around women's health, and why she has had to unlearn parts of her own training along the way. It is an honest, myth busting conversation that will leave you better equipped to advocate for yourself and ask sharper questions at your next appointment.Key Highlights

I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback and insights on what could improve The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast in this short poll - it takes 2 minutes, and as a thank you, we'll send you a little gift!How many times have you walked into a doctor's appointment knowing something is wrong, and walked out feeling dismissed, unheard, or handed an explanation that just doesn't fit?For women with ADHD, the intersection of hormones and neurodivergence has been one of medicine's most neglected areas. Not because it isn't important, but because for too long, women have been considered too complex, too variable, too messy to study properly. And the cost of that has been devastating.This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm welcoming back Dr Lotta Borg Skoglund, a psychiatrist, researcher, and Associate Professor at Uppsala University in Sweden. Lotta has spent years investigating how hormonal fluctuations shape ADHD across women's entire reproductive lives — and her new book, Female Hormones and ADHD: The Impact on Brain and Body, is out in the UK on 4th June.What Lotta shares in this episode is not just fascinating; it is information that women deserve to have, and that could genuinely change their long-term health.In this episode, we explore:Why women have historically been excluded from research, and what that has cost us clinicallyLotta's new research on ADHD medication during pregnancy, lactation, and across the menstrual cycleWhy neurodivergent women may experience perimenopause symptoms earlier, and why this so often goes unrecognisedThe critical window of opportunity for hormone therapyWhy a hormonal assessment should come before receiving ADHD medicationThe link between postmenopausal oestrogen loss and heart attacks in womenThe connections between ADHD and endometriosis, PCOS, burnout, pain and sick leaveWhy every doctor (regardless of specialism) needs to be asking about hormonesHow we can use the predictable hormonal risk windows across a woman's reproductive life to support herTestosterone, perimenopause, and what the research does and doesn't yet tell usHow Lotta's new book can help you advocate for yourself in the doctor's officeThis episode is for every woman who has ever felt that her hormonal health and her neurodivergence were being treated as two completely separate problems by two completely separate systems.Lotta's work is quietly changing what is possible for us, and this conversation is essential listening.You can also listen to our previous conversations with Lotta here:E120 Connecting Hormones and Psychiatry to help more ADHD womenE174: Breaking down ADHD Neuroscience, Menstrual Cycles, Hormones and AnxietyThis week's episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia.If you're parenting a neurodivergent child, I'd recommend listening to their podcast, Everybody Gets a Juicebox, as it's full of relatable stories and practical tools to help your family thrive while protecting your own wellbeing, too!The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Live Event Recording is here!My first-ever ADHD Women's Wellbeing Live event sold out, and now the full experience is available to you wherever you are, whenever it feels right.Alongside three neuro-affirming experts, we spent four hours exploring the questions that matter most to late-diagnosed women.

Are you constantly on edge, struggling with midsection weight gain, or waking up with a racing heart? In this episode of the Love, Mia Vita podcast, Gerianne DiPiano and Dr. Nicole Swiner dive deep into the science of cortisol—the "fight or flight" hormone that can wreak havoc on a woman's body. While cortisol is essential for survival, chronic elevation leads to physical symptoms often mistaken for general aging, including thinning hair, brain fog, and decreased libido. We discuss how life stages like perimenopause and the "sandwich generation" create a perfect storm for hormonal chaos. Learn how to identify the physical signs of high cortisol and discover a "lifestyle-first" recovery plan.

In this episode of the Optimal Body podcast, Doc Jen and Doctor Dom sit down with Doctor Aleksandra Gajer, an expert in sustainable weight loss, longevity, and women's midlife health. Doctor Gajer discusses her journey from emergency medicine to a focus on proactive, preventative care. Key topics include metabolic health, insulin resistance, peptides, hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause, and actionable lifestyle interventions such as post-meal walking and strength training. The discussion highlights GLP-1 medications, the role of peptides in therapy, and how peptide treatments can support metabolic, hormonal and women's health. Health tips including sleep optimization and the importance of personalized, compassionate care—rather than generic advice—are also emphasized for women navigating complex physiological changes, with a special focus on how peptides can be integrated into individualized health strategies.

MCAS is one of those diagnoses that can make it feel like your body is telling a dozen stories at once—and no one is listening. If you're experiencing GI symptoms alongside flushing, hives, brain fog, fatigue, palpitations, medication sensitivities, or a persistent "fight-or-flight" feeling, this episode is designed to help connect the dots without oversimplifying your experience.In this episode, we sit down with gastroenterologist Dr. Zachary Spiritos to unpack mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) and explore the connections between immune activation, the gut-brain axis, and symptoms that can affect nearly every system in the body. We discuss why patients are often dismissed, how stress and hormonal changes can amplify symptoms, and what a realistic, stepwise treatment approach looks like when the evidence base is still evolving.In this episode, we discuss:• What mast cells do and why MCAS can affect multiple organ systems • Why MCAS is often missed in siloed medical care and mislabeled as anxiety • Barrier dysfunction, environmental triggers, and intestinal permeability as a useful framework • Histamine as one mediator among many and why antihistamines are not a perfect treatment for all• Links between MCAS, IBS, visceral hypersensitivity, dysautonomia, and POTS • Hypermobility, pelvic floor dysfunction, and neck tension as common clinical clues • Treatment principles including start low and go slow, informed consent, and layered individualized plans • Dietary approaches patients commonly explore, including low-histamine, low-FODMAP, and gluten-free patterns • Hormonal influences across the menstrual cycle and during perimenopause• The role of sleep, nervous system regulation, and stress reduction in decreasing symptom reactivity If you've ever felt like your symptoms don't fit neatly into a single diagnosis, this episode will help you make sense of the bigger picture and explore what healing can look like when the gut, immune system, and nervous system are all part of the conversation. References:Ford AC, Staudacher HM, Talley NJ.

Sometimes Christians speak about the body as though it barely matters. As though spiritual growth and physical stewardship are completely separate things. But Scripture paints a very different picture. God created your body intentionally. Jesus came in a body. Jesus rose in a body. And one day, we will receive glorified bodies. Your body matters to God. In this episode, Justin Roethlingshoefer (Own It Show, The Power of Ownership) explained how many people live disconnected from their bodies entirely. Ignoring exhaustion. Ignoring stress. Ignoring burnout. Ignoring emotional pain. Until eventually the body begins sounding alarms we can no longer ignore. Anxiety. Fatigue. Autoimmune struggles. Hormonal issues. And often we wonder: "Why is this happening to me?" But perhaps sometimes the better question is: "Have I been stewarding what God entrusted to me?" Not from condemnation, but from invitation. Because God is not trying to shame you. He is inviting you into abundant life. And at the center of that invitation is identity. Justin shared that for years, he believed his worth came from achievement and performance. But God taught him that he did not need to earn what had already been freely given through Christ. You do not have to prove your value. You already have value. And from that secure identity, you can begin making decisions that honor the life and body God has given you. And when you care for your body fully, you can also show up for the things God has for you fully.

Through Belah's videos its abundantly clear that I am the one that needs change but these changes are only possible through Christ and his grace and desire to see me have a relationship with him first and then allow him to present me again to my wife as the man of God she has always wanted to be with." .........................................................

You probably know someone who has a condition that, until last week, was known as PCOS, or polycystic ovary syndrome. It affects one in eight reproductive-aged women. But despite it being such a common disorder, patients are often misdiagnosed and have delayed treatment. Now, medical professionals are trying to change that. After 15 years of work, the condition has been renamed to PMOS, or polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome. The new name reflects the real driver of the condition: disruptions in hormones. But how much can changing a name really do? Click here to access resources about PMOS in multiple languages. Interested in more science?

It's time to move beyond the fear-based conversation around testosterone and start discussing the science. Testosterone is not simply a “male hormone.” It plays a critical role in women's physiology — influencing muscle mass, endurance, motivation, cognition, mood, metabolic health, sexual function, recovery, and overall vitality. In this video, I explore: • The evidence behind testosterone and physical performance • Significant improvements in muscle mass and time to exhaustion (running) • Why free testosterone matters more than total testosterone alone • SHBG, albumin binding, and equilibrium dialysis • Genetic differences in androgen receptor sensitivity (CAG repeats) • Why there is no single “optimal” testosterone number for every woman • The importance of individualized dosing and monitoring • Long-term safety data, including transgender testosterone research More than 95% of testosterone is bound to SHBG and albumin. Hormonal physiology is nuanced, individualized, and far more complex than many outdated narratives suggest. The reality is this: When properly prescribed, dosed, and monitored, testosterone therapy is remarkably safe. Referenced studies include: • British Journal of Sports Medicine (May 2020) Effects of moderately increased testosterone concentration on physical performance in young women: a double blind, randomised, placebo controlled study https://drive.google.com/file/d/1z8dvTerB0fnXRhYZ8Y2dwivRHgZKvu_6/view?usp=sharing • Louise Newson pilot study on cognition and mood Effect of transdermal testosterone therapy on mood and cognitive symptoms in peri- and postmenopausal women: a pilot study https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TxdsaiYIzKtsTmSD5NLBazeUeC250Bya/view?usp=sharing • Long-term transgender testosterone safety data Trans men can achieve adequate muscular development through low-dose testosterone therapy: A long-term study on body composition changeshttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1aoDrxl7rMUoHLEIgXI8KAM38pg9W6vhf/view?usp=sharing Bone Safety During the First Ten Years of Gender-Af rming Hormonal Treatment in Transwomen andTransmenhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1D47vmWxnWr9I_DBMOGcfzakZ8dGNQUMF/view?usp=sharing The efficacy, safety, and outcomes of testosterone useamong transgender men patients: A review of the literaturehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1M11Qvii1geSYaIr141iedD75IAKV-PAX/view?usp=sharing

In this masterclass, I'm pulling back the curtain on everything I teach inside my eight-week program Ignite and distilling it into one power-packed masterclass. If you've been doing "all the things" and still feel like your body isn't responding, this one is for you.   What We Cover: The difference between metabolism, metabolic health, and hormonal changes — because they are not the same thing, and confusing them is costing you results. The top 5 struggles women come to us with: Metabolic dysfunction (gaining weight, energy crashes, cravings) Hormonal chaos (mood swings, anxiety, irritability) Sleep disruption (why 1–4 AM wake-ups are telling you something) Loss of body confidence and identity Information overload and no clear strategy Why your symptoms are the messenger, not the root cause — and how to start asking the right questions of your doctors, trainers, and yourself. Blood sugar & insulin — the most underutilized tool for stabilizing blood sugar isn't a supplement. It's strength training. Protein: the non-negotiable macro — how much you actually need (hint: most women are underestimating), how to hit 30–40g per meal, and why food prep beats meal prep every time. Building muscle in your 40s, 50s & 60s — what progressive overload actually means, why cardio classes are not your best investment, and the five non-negotiables for real body recomposition. Why eating less and pushing harder is working against you — and what to do instead. Thyroid health & Hashimoto's — what to ask your doctor to test (beyond TSH), why antibodies matter, and how Christine got her Hashi's into remission. The scale is the last metric we use — progress photos, tracking your lifts, and measuring what actually matters. Food noise, GLP-1s & the wellness marketing machine — how to cut through the noise and find what your body actually needs. Key Takeaways: Your muscle mass impacts your metabolism more than your age does One poor night of sleep is enough to dysregulate hunger hormones and increase cravings Consistency over perfection — nail one habit before adding another Stop cutting carbs; your thyroid needs them The boring basics work. My most successful clients are my most "boring" ones. You don't need more equipment — you need more education about your body   Mentioned in This Episode: Andrea Donsky's book Nourishing Menopause and her research on 103 symptoms of perimenopause/menopause Dr. Bill Campbell's body composition lab at the University of South Florida MyFitnessPal for macro tracking Jill Harris as a client case study (9 lbs lost, Hashimoto's into remission over 3 years) Vitract / Tiny Gut Health for stool/microbiome testing   Let's dive in!

Dr. Deb Muth 00:03Welcome to Let’s Talk Wellness Now. I am your host, Dr. Deb.And today, I have the pleasure of meeting with Dr. James Greenblatt. I’ve known Dr. Greenblatt for a very long time. We, started lecturing together, gosh, over 15 years ago.And he is an amazing practitioner. Dr. Greenblatt is dual board certified in psychiatry and internationally recognized.as a pioneer in functional and integrative psychiatry. He’s widely regarded as the leading expert on the clinical application of low-dose lithium for mental health.Dr. Greenblatt has spent more than 30 years advancing precision medicine-based approaches that move beyond symptom management to address the root causes of mental illness.And after earning his medical degree at George Washington University.Dr. Greenblatt completed his psychiatry and residency there as a fellow in child and adolescent psychiatry.Joined John Hopkins Medical School, and he currently serves as an assistant clinical professor of Psychiatry at Tufts University. He is a prolific author. Dr. Greenblatt has written 9 books, including his newest book, Finally Hopeful. in… available in January of 2026. We can ask him about this today.And his bestsellers finally focused the breathwork, natural treatment plan for ADHD,Answers to anorexia, Functional and Integrative Medicine for Antidepressant withdrawal, and nutritional lithium, and Untold tale of Mineral and Transforms Lives, that heals the brain.He has founded, in 2019, the Psychiatry Redefined, a leading educational platform training clinicians worldwide in functional and integrative psychiatry. He is a sought-after international speaker. Dr. Greenblatt regularly lecturesOn nutritional psychiatry and the transformative role of functional medicine.I am super excited to have him here with us today. This is going to be a pleasure. You guys are going to love this conversation that we are going to have. And I am going to pick his brain today on functional and integrative psychology and psychiatry, and combining nutrition, biochemistry, and lifestyle with mental health care.I’m really, really happy to have Dr. Greenblatt with us, so I am going to bring him on, and we are going to have this amazing conversation with my friend.Welcome back to Let’s Talk Wellness Now. I’m your host, Dr. Deb, and I have with me Dr. James Greenblatt, who I have followed for… we were just chatting about this for over 20 years.He is amazing in what he is doing, and we are going to have this conversation today about integrative psychiatry and the future of mental health. So, welcome to the show, Dr. Greenblatt. James greenblatt md 03:20Thank you, Dips, good to be with you. Dr. Deb Muth 03:22Now, you’ve been pioneering this integrative psychiatry for decades. What really inspired you to bridge nutrition and psychiatry long before it’s become mainstream? James greenblatt md 03:35You know, I developed an interest in college, you know, studying nutrition, and then I remember writing papers on orthomolecular psychiatry, high dose, vitamin B3 for schizophrenia.So, I really did not think I’d be a psychiatrist. I wanted to be a pediatrician when I went to medical school, but, just early interest in nutrition and brain function.And it’s been my career now for 30-plus years. Dr. Deb Muth 04:05Wow. Can you define what integrative psychiatry actually means, and how it’s different from traditional psychiatry for most people who wouldn’t be familiar with that term? James greenblatt md 04:17Sure, I mean, I have to add the word functional as well. I mean, I think, you know, I call myself a functional psychiatrist, but for most of my career, and every book, and everything I did, I would have to use words like functional and integrative.Medicine for mental illness. And, you know, I define integrative medicine as the… Adjunctive lifestyle, mindfulness. And diet, sleep, and exercise. Dr. Deb Muth 04:46Mmm. James greenblatt md 04:46And I kind of use the term functional for kind of a deeper root cause dive, looking at nutritional deficiencies, looking at hormones, looking at genetics. And, you know, to treat patients with mental health challenges, we need both integrative and functional medicine. Dr. Deb Muth 05:05That’s awesome. You know, in our integrative space, we often kind of joke that there’s no such thing as a Prozac deficiency, right? Can you explain to our listeners how nutrient deficiencies, gut health, or inflammation can play a role in mental illness? James greenblatt md 05:23Sure, I mean, I think the most importantBeginning of this conversation would be that, you know, 10 people with depression, there might be 10 different underlying factors. Dr. Deb Muth 05:35Yeah. James greenblatt md 05:35And we do know that there’s not an antidepressant deficiency, so we have to look deeper. And… and that’s,just different than our current psychiatry model, where it’s just symptomatic-based medicine. Everyone who’s depressed. It’s an antidepressant.And by looking at functional integrative medicine, we’re looking at B12 and vitamin D and zinc and magnesium. We’re looking at hormones, we’re looking at the gut, and we’re trying to determine what might be either causing or contributing to that person’s depression. Dr. Deb Muth 06:10Is there a particular, flavor that you see more commonly with others, like depression versus anxiety versus bipolar. Is there a particular underlying factor that you see more commonly than others? James greenblatt md 06:27Well, the short answer is no, and that’s why this work takes time, because you have to think.You know, every patient that walks in the office is different. I mean, I think the overarching umbrella is nutritional deficiencies, you know, whether… regardless of weight, regardless of diet. I mean, I have people coming in who’ve been eating…You know, these ketogenic or paleo diets, you know, perfect organic foods, and are profoundly nutritionally deficient.So I think nutritional deficiencies would be number one, and then, you know, the whole host of, you know, infections and hormone problems and inflammatory issues related to celiac disease is really common in the mental health space that’s ignored. Dr. Deb Muth 07:14Yeah. Celiac disease is really not paid attention too much, other than thinking that it’s damaging the gut. They don’t really think about all the other aspects of the body that are being affected by the gut not being able to absorb the nutrients properly and then utilize them properly. It’s really sad. James greenblatt md 07:34we find out… and there’s research to support it. That’s the tragedy. This is not something, as clinicians, that we found. We have many, many years of research showing high rates of anxiety and depression, you know, amongst those with, celiac disorder because of this chronic malnutrition, and many patients present without any GI symptoms, just mental health complaints, but nobody’s looking at celiac. Dr. Deb Muth 08:02Yeah. You know, I’m sure there’s people that are listening to us thinking, there’s no way thatEverybody who’s depressed or anxious has a nutritional deficiency. When we’re… live in a country where there’s so much abundance of food, and the obesity rates are high, and most people are very plump, how could those people be deficient in nutrients? What do you say to people who think like that? James greenblatt md 08:28Yeah, I mean, I think that, you know, we have, what’s called high caloric malnutrition, so regardless of weight, I would say the vast majority of patients with a mental health issue I would say my best guess would be 90-plus percent. Dr. Deb Muth 08:47Wow. James greenblatt md 08:47We would find nutritional deficiencies. Dr. Deb Muth 08:51And part of this, we’ve discovered, is genetics. James greenblatt md 08:56People having, kind of, genetic needs for Higher amounts of certain micronutrients. Some of it is just the kinds of foods people are eating. The kind of ultra-processed food actually strips the body of micronutrients. So, it is just so common, and many of these tests are pretty simple that your primary care doctor could do in the office. Dr. Deb Muth 09:22So, traditional labs can identify some of these nutritional deficiencies. They don’t necessarily have to invest thousands of dollars in advanced nutrient testing to find these things out. James greenblatt md 09:35Absolutely. I mean, I think, you know, oftentimes when we’re working with a patient who has failed traditional psychiatric treatment, we do need some functional, testing, but I’m quite convinced we could change the trajectory of our mental health epidemic in this country by some labs that are covered by every insurance company on the planet. Like, people think of vitamin D as, you know, building bones or immune function.It has dramatic relationships to mental health problems, demonstrated over 30 years of research. So vitamin D and B12 and folate, all simple blood tests that are covered by all health insurances. Dr. Deb Muth 10:18You know, with the change of genetics, MTHFR is so popularly known these days. It’s probably the most popular genetic mutation that people know of.And in the mental health space, it plays a significant role as well in that absorption of B12 and folate. How do you look at MTHFR mutation with inside the mental health world? James greenblatt md 10:43Well, I think it’s, It’s critical, it’s required on every patient that I see, and I’ve been, known to say it would be considered malpractice for psychiatrists not to test for the MTHFR gene. Because most of my career, I’ve spent working in inpatient psychiatric hospitals and residential. So seeing those individuals that have failed outpatient treatment, so really struggling.And one of the most common things I’ve been seeing for 30 years are those psychiatric patients not responsive to traditional treatment. oftentimes have one of the more significant MTHFR variants. And so we started doing the testing in the hospital, and they came back with these you know, variants and treated with folate, the medicines worked better, and their depression got better. It is simple. And essential. So, the integrative community, our community is aware of it, but our conventional psychiatrists are not testing for MTHFR. Dr. Deb Muth 11:50Yeah, it’s so sad, isn’t it? Because it’s such a simple test, and can make such a big difference in people’s lives. I know even in the OBGYN community, we’re not looking at MTHFR, and yet we’re giving women all this folic acid that many of them might not be able to actually utilize.And we’re… in my opinion, we’re doing a disservice to those women and the children that are being born to them for that. James greenblatt md 12:15Yeah, no, it’s frustrating, when there are clear, simple, treatment interventions that could make major difference in people’s lives that are just not incorporated into, kind of, routine treatment models. Dr. Deb Muth 12:31How come we see some people with MTHFR mutations, or gene mutations, have depression and anxiety that is so severe, and then other people seem to have absolutely no problems with mental health at all, and they have a similar profile? James greenblatt md 12:47Yeah, I mean, that’s just a great example, as, you know, genes aren’t our destiny, it’s just kind of a vulnerability.And, you know, we actually, when we were in the hospital, we tested, you know. hundreds of people and staff as well. And, you know, people are going to be lived to 100 and have these very vulnerable MTHFR genes. So it’s not the genes, it’s… I call it that genetic-environmental dance. So if we add… that genetic vulnerability, and maybe we add a, you know, a Lyme infection, or a chronic stress, or a B12 deficiency, or celiac, or we could list a hundred things, stress and inflammation probably being the most significant. With that genetic vulnerability, that’s where, you know, the implications of treatment come more defined. Dr. Deb Muth 13:45Yeah. What do you think the role of trauma plays in all of this, too, with the genetics? Do you think that trauma that people are living with today makes a big impact on their genes and how their genes are being turned on or off? James greenblatt md 14:01Yeah, I mean, we know trauma is kind of, you know, sets the stage for so much psychiatric illness. I think in my… Community of mental health professionals. we kind of use the trauma as an excuse to not think of the biology. And trauma… Affects the biology. Dr. Deb Muth 14:21So… James greenblatt md 14:22without negating the past trauma or current trauma, we still need to dig deep into the B12 and MTHFR and vitamin D. But… the trauma does affect the expression of certain genes. It also ex… we see a lot of, nutritional deficiencies after trauma due to poor digestion, because the Digestive enzymes and the hydrochloric acid kind of just shut down. And so, again, eating great food, but not absorbing these micronutrients. So I’ve seen that years after trauma. Dr. Deb Muth 14:5Yeah, it’s really hard. I’ve worked with Dr. Mark Gordon, and he does a lot of trauma work for veterans, and he focuses a lot on the hormones that get affected because of the brain trauma and the head trauma that people experience in combat. Or the repetitive shot firings and things like that, and how it correlates to anxiety. And then just balancing out some of those hormones can make a significant difference for them, and he’s actually been tracking the reduction of some of the hormones as a result of those traumas. Have you seen similar things like that with mental health and hormones? James greenblatt md 15:36Not… I haven’t made that direct correlation, but what we see when we evaluate somebody with trauma is just, you know, a kind of very wide range of metabolic abnormalities from Hormonal, to insulin resistance, to nutrient deficiencies, again, that aren’t dietary related. Dr. Deb Muth 15:57So… James greenblatt md 15:58Definitely, somehow, some path from the trauma. Dr. Deb Muth 16:03Yeah. If you had to choose your most favorite cutting-edge research or biomarker that you’re most excited about right now in the world of nutritional psychology or psychiatry, what would that be? James greenblatt md 16:19Well, you know, I counted as 250 that we look at when I evaluate a site patient, but there’s one… That is so simple, and has such profound implications, and that’s looking at levels of cryptopyrrol in the urine. Dr. Deb Muth 16:36Oh, yeah. James greenblatt md 16:37urine test. It measures this, molecule, a pyrole derivative, and Most of us would have normal levels. And if it’s elevated, It is, it’s likely a genetic vulnerability, but this, cryptopyrrol just binds B6 and zinc. So you have this tremendous deficiency of B6 and zinc. And elevated cryptopyril is always associated with psychiatric symptoms, usually anxiety, but we’ve seen depression and panic and even paranoia. And it’s simple to treat. We’re talking about, you know, pennies a day, B6 and zinc. Dr. Deb Muth 17:20The marker comes down. James greenblatt md 17:23And symptoms improve. I mean, it is really stunning and dramatic. Dr. Deb Muth 17:28That is amazing, because you’re right, I mean, in something that seems so simple and so inexpensive oftentimes gets dismissed, because we think that it’s not going to do enough, but some of these things that biochemically are happening to people Really need to start being addressed, because the side effects that they’re having with multiple layers of medications is not good for them either. James greenblatt md 17:52Yeah, the amount of medications now, because of our kind of ineffective model, is just exploding, so people are taking 3, 4, 5 psychiatric medications to treat a problem that sometimes there might be a simpler solution. Dr. Deb Muth 18:11Yeah. Can you share a case example of where an integrative approach really transforms someone’s mental health when medication alone wasn’t working? James greenblatt md 18:22Sure, you know, many, but there’s one that I just talked about, A couple nights ago about a gentleman who, you know, traveled around the country seeing integrative doctors, as well as traditional doctors, had a bag full of supplements, because every Doctor put them on a different regimen. And, strong family history of depression and addiction. He struggled with depression and addiction. And, you know, could not get off antidepressants. So, he had a lot of blood work, everything was normal, and the one test that we found in our battery was low levels of essential amino acids. Dr. Deb Muth 19:08Wow. James greenblatt md 19:09So this was, someone who was eating, you know, organic foods and grass-fed protein, so he was eating the perfect diet.But he was completely deficient in amino acids. So, again, that inability to digest and absorb, so just by giving this individual hydrochloric acid. Free-form amino acids. He was able to begin to feel better, and eventually we were able to taper him off these medications. So it was just, it wasn’t dietary intake, it was a problem of digestion and absorption. Dr. Deb Muth 19:50That is incredible, because I don’t think, even in the functional medicine world, where we’re focused so heavily on gut health, we are not making that correlation that people are not digesting their proteins to make amino acids, to make neurotransmitters. That… that thought process isn’t happening with a lot of functional medicine practitioners either. James greenblatt md 20:11No, it hasn’t, and maybe because it’s too simple, you know? It’s not trying to look at 75 markers on organic acid, it’s just… Dr. Deb Muth 20:21Yeah. James greenblatt md 20:21Looking at, you know, 9 essential amino acids. And usually there’s a pattern. They’re either all low, you know, or normal, or high, and that means something. So, I remember when I first did amino acid testing, it was by mistake. I remember in the 90s, I checked the wrong box in a lab company. And it didn’t make sense to me when I first started doing it, but now it is one of the most important tests that I do for adult depression. Dr. Deb Muth 20:49Yeah. How do those amino acids, work with, like, that resistant depression, anxiety. What do they actually do that makes the anxiety and the depression worse? James greenblatt md 21:02Well, the essential amino acids, essential meaning our body needs to get them from our diet, are the precursors to every protein in the body, but in psychiatry, they’re the precursors to the neurotransmitters.So, tryptophan, precursor to serotonin, phenylalanine, the precursor to dopamine and norepinephrine. So if those are deficient.And we have studies in humans and animals, going back, I think, to the 70s, that we can affect the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain. So low levels of these amino acids affect neurotransmitters. It’s actually a research protocol called tryptophan depletion studies. Where we give people in the lab low levels of tryptophan, and we watch them get irritable, depressed, and angry. Dr. Deb Muth 21:51It’s interesting that we’re willing to do that to people, right? But you’ve got to figure it out sometimes. You have to know that what you think is actually working. James greenblatt md 21:58Absolutely. Dr. Deb Muth 22:00Yeah. How do you guide patients to safely combine their natural approaches with their psychiatric medications? James greenblatt md 22:09I think the vast majority of the, the work that we’ve been doing, is all nutritional supplements or interventions that can be done with medications. So it’s not an either-or model when we think of functional psychiatry. It’s just kind of adding tools you know, to the toolbox. There are very few interactions with medications. Sometimes high-dose amino acids we won’t use with certain medications, but all the Vitamins and minerals and gut support that we’re recommending can be utilized with medications. Dr. Deb Muth 22:49That’s awesome, because I think there’s a lot of fear around that, right? Like, if I take this, it’ll interfere with that. And some things, yes, they do interfere, but it’s good for people to understand that they can do these things safely, but they need to work with somebody knowledgeable, like yourself, or somebody that has come from one of your training programs that really, truly understands this. James greenblatt md 23:10Yeah, absolutely. It’s, it’s an integrative model where individuals can Sometimes it’s just the medications work better. Other times, it’s a path to tapering someone off the medications. Dr. Deb Muth 23:24Yeah. For patients or families that are listening, and they’re really feeling frustrated by medication-only solutions, where do you recommend that they start? James greenblatt md 23:36Well, I have to say my book. So, you know, the book I just wrote, Finally, Hopeful, is written for patients, and I think the title is the best part of it, you know, Hope. I think as you begin to appreciate the role of nutrition and depression. So, there are some, some good books out there, that, on my website, psychiatryRedefine.org, there’s a list of clinicians, and, in the next month, I’ll be setting up a network of functional psychiatry clinicians, So, around the country that have been trained, so that program is called Finally Living Now, I think, Finally Living Now, so…People, want the information. Too many of our traditional docs just don’t have the training, so we’ll hopefully be able to provide a network of clinicians who can help. Dr. Deb Muth 24:30That’s fantastic, and for those of you who are driving or didn’t catch those links, don’t worry about it. We will have them in the show notes for you, so you can find these people that have been trained and understand what to do to help you. What gives you optimism about the future of psychiatric and mental health care? James greenblatt md 24:51Well, the explosion of research is really, have given me some renewed energy at this point in my career, because in the last 5 years. There are just hundreds of incredibly well-written academic articles, references that our traditional researchers have kind of just validated everything that we’ve been saying for 30 years. So we have studies on vitamin D deficiency, and suicide, and zinc deficiency, and suicide, and folate, and the gut. And the most significant for me is, I’ve been talking about lithium orotate. Dr. Deb Muth 25:34Print this. James greenblatt md 25:34years as a nutritional intervention, probably the most important in my practice, and a study came out of Harvard. This year, Describing lithium orotate, the only lithium preparation that was able to reverse Alzheimer’s pathology in mice models. and prevent it in these models. It was a pretty dramatic study. Dr. Deb Muth 25:57Oh. James greenblatt md 25:58So… Long-inded answer, but it’s the research now that is just supporting everything we’ve been yelling about for 30 years that just is going to make it much easier to train doctors and nurse practitioners so we can help more patients. Dr. Deb Muth 26:15Oh, that’s fantastic. That’s an… I’m going to look up that study, that’s amazing. So, one last question for you is, if someone was listening today, and they’re really struggling with anxiety and depression, and they’re out of answers, what would you tell them to give them hope? James greenblatt md 26:32I think that, you know, I’ve been doing this 30 years, and I have colleagues around the globe, and Everyone would kind of just echo that there are some simple interventions, and to try to find either your primary care doctor, or a mental health professional, or a naturopath who will dig deeper and look at some objective tests, and I’m positive that if you’re struggling with depression, that they’ll find something to help you. Dr. Deb Muth 27:06That’s awesome. Thank you so much for joining us today. Are there any last thoughts that you want to leave with our listeners? James greenblatt md 27:13Well, just to repeat two things I’ve said a couple times is, hope, you know, finally hopeful is the book, and then everyone’s different. And your neighbor might be taking, you know, found out that they had a vitamin B12 deficiency, and that cured their depression. it doesn’t mean you have a B12 deficiency, but there are many. a path towards looking deeper. Everyone’s different, but there is hope. Dr. Deb Muth 27:44Thank you so much for joining me today. James greenblatt md 27:46Thanks for having me, nice talking with you. Dr. Deb Muth 27:52Thank you for joining me today on Let’s Talk Wellness Now and Dr. James Greenblatt for the insightful conversation on integrative psychiatry and the future of mental health.If you’ve ever felt dismissed, over-medicated, or frustrated by cookie-cutter approaches to mental health, remember, there is always hope. Healing begins when we look deeper at nutrition, environment, biochemistry, and the unique story within every patient. That’s the art and the science Dr. Greenblatt calls us back to. If today’s episode resonated with you.Share it with someone who needs to hear that mental health illness is not a life sentence. It’s a message from the body, asking to be completely understood. Remember, wellness isn’t just about feeling good, it’s about thriving in every area of your life. If you’re ready to explore how root cause psychiatry or functional medicine can help you or a loved one find hope again, visit DrGreenblatt.com and check out his new book that is just out. Until next time, I’m Dr. Deb, reminding you to take care of your body, mind, and spirit.

The “Perfect Body” Isn't What Instagram Sold You What does the “perfect body” actually look like?In Part 2 of Coach Alex's conversation on The Samir Show, the discussion moves beyond six-packs, big biceps, and Instagram fitness into something much more useful: building a body that can serve the mission.Coach Alex explains why excessive muscle can become a liability for operators, why the best body is not necessarily the one that attracts attention, and why true fitness is about capability, endurance, resilience, and recovery.This conversation also goes deep into metabolic health, protein intake, fatigue, sleep, dad bod, belly fat, cardiovascular fitness, diabetes risk, and why so many people feel exhausted in their 30s and 40s.The big idea: your body is not just about appearance. It is an asset. It carries your mind, your mission, your work, your family, and your calling.In this episode, Coach Alex and Samir discuss:Why the “perfect agent body” does not look like an Instagram fitness modelWhy endurance and cognitive integrity matter for real-world performanceHow your body and brain are deeply integratedWhy constant fatigue may be connected to poor metabolic healthThe role of protein in muscle, energy, aging, and blood sugar regulationWhy muscle loss accelerates with age — and how weight training helps slow it downHow sleep timing, deep sleep, naps, and circadian rhythm affect energyWhy belly fat is often connected to stress, poor fitness, and energy imbalanceThe difference between fasting, time-restricted eating, and ketosisWhy cardio is not mainly about burning caloriesHow walking, weight training, and sleep can help prevent diabetes and heart diseaseIf you are tired of treating your body like a vanity project — or ignoring it altogether — this episode will help you think differently.Your body is not an idol to worship.It is not a problem to ignore.It is a stewardship.Get the Faithful Fitness 40-Day Devotional here:FaithfulFitnessDevo.comAnd check out more conversations from The Samir Show.00:00 The perfect agent body01:36 Why the CIA body would not look like Instagram fitness02:21 Hypertrophy is only one fitness adaptation03:48 The capable body: strong, fast, endurable, and mission-ready05:09 Training bodies for the job, not choosing bodies for the job06:54 Treating the body like a national security asset07:32 Why poor health affects national security08:43 Endurance and cognitive integrity09:35 Energy, fatigue, and burnout10:08 Mitochondrial dysfunction and fat-burning capacity12:01 Carbs as short-term fuel, fats as long-term fuel13:56 Why protein matters15:13 How much protein the average person may need16:20 Why minimum protein recommendations may not be optimal18:14 Plant proteins, supplements, and vegetarian considerations19:39 Why muscle mass declines with age21:09 Weight training and preserving muscle tissue22:02 Why you may wake up more tired than when you went to bed23:11 Deep sleep, sleep inertia, and inconsistent rest25:43 Why naps help some people and ruin sleep for others27:28 Busy tired vs. metabolic or hormonal problems28:41 Why medication without lifestyle change misses the root30:34 Protein, prediabetes, and blood sugar regulation32:23 Protein intake and body composition33:41 Dad bod, belly fat, and fatherhood37:05 Hormonal changes after having a baby38:42 Keto, fasting, cardio, and stubborn belly fat39:29 Fasting vs. time-restricted eating40:34 Ketosis does not always mean body-fat loss41:50 Why cardio is not mainly for burning calories42:44 Nutrient density vs. energy density45:12 Running outside vs. treadmill48:19 Early warning signs for diabetes and metabolic disease49:00 VO2 and cardiovascular fitness as missed warning signs53:06 Basic tests for diabetes and heart disease risk55:20 Why food journaling is the first intelligence report59:35 Lifestyle changes with the biggest payoff01:00:10 Start small: 15 minutes a day01:01:46 Walking, adaptation, and energy01:02:40 Sleep, stress, and disease risk01:04:30 Creatine, sleep deprivation, and recovery support If this conversation challenged the way you think about your body, start with the Faithful Fitness 40-Day Devotional.It was written to help Christians stop treating the body as either an idol to worship or a problem to ignore — and begin seeing it as a gift to steward under Christ.Get Faithful Fitness here:FaithfulFitnessDevo.comThis conversation originally took place on The Samir Show.Check out Samir's work and follow his show for more thoughtful conversations on health, mindset, and human performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lST4zzD4Hcs&t=387sBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faithful-fitness-with-coach-alex-vanhouten--5150768/support.

Have you ever felt like you're constantly pouring from an empty cup while trying to balance your family, career, and health? This episode is a compilation from interviews where I gathered highlights to help women with health. I speak with Angela Campbell about why moms must prioritize care for themselves to help their families. Brenda Breland shares her time with depression and explains why the body acts as a lab instead of an equation. She discusses why a lack of food can fail. Angela Foster breaks down how to sync training with a cycle to get results. Lori Balue talks about PCOS and how sunlight manages insulin for people over fifty. This episode provides a roadmap for energy. Key Takeaways The "Mask First" Mindset: Putting yourself first is an investment in your family; if you are exhausted and unhappy, you "bleed out" on them in a negative way. Chemistry over Math: The body functions like a chemistry lab rather than a math equation; hormones and metabolism dictate fat loss more than simple calorie counting. Menstrual Cycle Training: Women are most resilient to strain during menstruation when hormones are low; the follicular phase is the best time for heavy resistance training. Luteal Phase Tapering: During the second half of the cycle, recovery is slower, and the body becomes more catabolic, requiring a shift toward higher reps, mobility work, and better refueling. Circadian Rhythm Optimization: Early morning light exposure resets the circadian clock to optimize cortisol and melatonin production for better sleep. Light as an Endocrine Disruptor: Blue light from screens can raise insulin levels, while sunlight exposure without sunglasses helps program the body for weight loss.

“We forget the skin is a living organ and we just treat it as a cosmetic surface.” - Dr. Natalia BorkowskiThere's a moment many women experience, typically in our 40s or 50s, where something shifts. It might be a photo, a different mirror, or a passing reflection, but suddenly the image looking back doesn't match the one you've been carrying in your mind. For a lot of us, that moment isn't just physical, it's emotional. It feels disorienting, especially in a culture that continues to equate youth with value.Hormonal shifts in perimenopause and menopause affect collagen, hydration, circulation, and overall tissue integrity, but we can't look at the health of our skin in isolation. Skin health is deeply connected to nervous system regulation, sleep, nutrition, movement, and the daily environments we live in. The way we respond to the changes we see in our skin shapes not only how we look, but how we move through this phase of life.In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Natalya Borakowski, a licensed naturopathic physician specializing in dermatology and aesthetics, to talk about aging, identity, and skin health. We explore the physiological changes that impact the skin during perimenopause and menopause, the psychological experience of watching your appearance evolve, the role of foundational health practices like sleep, how to think about skincare in a simple and sustainable way, how to approach cosmetic treatments with intention, what it means to age well, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!---Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/aging-skin-and-aesthetics-for-women-over-40-with-natalya-borakowski/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).Find and follow us @integrativewomenshealth on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@integrativewomenshealth) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/integrativewomenshealth/).

Qué Temas Quieres Escuchar Toca y Hablemos. TE LEO.Hay algo que no nos han contado del todo sobre la salud femenina… Muchas mujeres creen que el cáncer de mama es una de las principales causas de muerte en el mundo, y durante años se ha asociado al estrógeno como uno de sus responsables. Pero hoy, esa idea empieza a cuestionarse… y la realidad podría ser distinta a lo que siempre escuchamos.Si últimamente te sientes más cansada, con menos energía, notas cambios en tu piel, resequedad o aumento de grasa abdominal aunque haces lo mismo de siempre… no es casualidad. Tu cuerpo está hablando, pero no siempre sabemos interpretarlo. Después de los 40, estos cambios se vuelven más frecuentes y muchas veces vienen sin respuestas claras, generando confusión.En este episodio de “Cómo Curar”, junto a la Dra. Mar Rivero, exploramos qué está pasando realmente: el papel del estrógeno, su relación con el cáncer de mama y los factores que pueden estar influyendo en cómo te sientes.Si quieres entender tu cuerpo y dejar de sentirte perdida, este episodio no solo te dará información… te dará claridad para empezar a mejorar, paso a paso.En este episodio conversamos sobre: • El papel del estrógeno y lo que hoy se entiende de forma diferente• Creencias comunes sobre su relación con ciertas condiciones crónicas• Qué es el estroboloma y por qué puede ser relevante• Cambios en el cuerpo de la mujer después de los 40• Por qué el organismo puede responder distinto aun manteniendo los mismos hábitosSi te identificaste con algo de este contenido, déjanos tu comentario, suscríbete y compártelo con quien también pueda beneficiarse. #DraCocoMarch #TipsCocoMarch #CocoMarch #SaludHormonal #Estrogeno #Menopausia #Perimenopausia #SaludFemenina #HormonasFemeninas #Estroboloma #GrasaAbdominal #EquilibrioHormonal #BienestarFemenino #DraMarRivero #CambiosHormonales #Episodio157 #Temporada4 #ComoCurarConsigue mis fórmulas en USA y México: https://store.dracocomarch.com/es/Consigue mis fórmulas en Europa:https://vitatiendaeuropa.com/es/Visita mi Podcast:https://comocurar.com/Sígueme en redes:https://www.facebook.com/CocoMarchNMDhttps://www.instagram.com/cocomarch.nmd/https://www.youtube.com/@CocoMarchNMDhttps://www.tiktok.com/@coco.march.nmd Aprende de mi blog:https://blog.dracocomarch.com

Divorce and Big Decisions: How Your Hormones May Be Affecting Your Divorce More Than You ThinkPerimenopause and hormonal changes can impact your mood, anxiety, emotional regulation, and even your ability to make major life decisions—especially during divorce.

Bulking, cutting, bulking, cutting. If you've been through that cycle and ended up further from your goal than when you started, there's a reason the yo-yo keeps repeating, especially over 40.Learn about the metabolic adaptation and hormonal changes that make long diet phases more difficult (and sometimes unsustainable), a creative approach called intermittent dieting (not to be confused with intermittent fasting), a very powerful weekend refeed strategy, and the exact structure of a mini-cut and mini-bulk protocol including rate of loss, protein targets, surplus size, and the ratio of building to cutting.Plus learn the ONE warning sign that tells you to end a mini-cut early, even if you planned to go longer.Check out Fitness Lab (20% off through May 8), the AI coaching app built for adults over 40 who want daily structure, training feedback, biofeedback tracking, and meal planning that fits real life.

What if the key to a better night's sleep isn't just a pill, but better gut health? I am so thrilled to welcome my dear friend Cynthia Thurlow, a brilliant nurse practitioner and expert in intermittent fasting, back to the studio to dive into the often-ignored connection between our hormones and the gut microbiome. In this episode, we explore why perimenopause and menopause aren't just about hot flashes, but involve a dynamic shift in our metabolism and immune health driven by our gut. We're pulling back the curtain on how lifestyle habits, fiber, and even past trauma play a massive role in how you feel as you navigate this life transition. What you'll learn: (00:00) Declining estrogen levels contribute to brain fog, memory issues, and irritability in women. (05:46) Why Cynthia felt compelled to write about the missing link between menopause and the gut microbiome. (07:00) Hormonal shifts change your metabolism, immune system, and the way your body extracts calories from food. (10:58) Cynthia discusses the controversy surrounding fiber and why it is a critical signaling molecule for insulin sensitivity and inflammation. (16:42) The importance of urolithin A and why only a small percentage of people can produce it naturally. (18:36) An elimination diet can be a powerful tool for identifying food-related triggers for bloating and weight resistance. (32:01) Cynthia's hypothesis on how suppressed childhood trauma often resurfaces as health problems during the menopausal transition. (40:46) Be your own health advocate and have the courage to fire providers who dismiss your symptoms. Love the podcast? Here's what to do: Subscribe to the podcast. Leave a review.

Sleep is one of the most important and most overlooked drivers of your health. If you're struggling to fall asleep, waking up at 2–4am, or getting a full night's sleep but still feeling exhausted, your body is trying to tell you something. Poor sleep isn't just about habits, it's a signal that key systems like your nervous system, blood sugar, hormones, or circadian rhythm are out of sync. In this episode, we break down what's actually disrupting your sleep and how to fix it at the root. Here's what you'll understand: • Why sleep issues are rarely just one problem and how stress, blood sugar, and circadian rhythm all interact • The real reasons you can't fall asleep, wake up in the middle of the night, or feel tired despite 7–8 hours • What actually helps (and what doesn't)—from magnesium and melatonin to nervous system regulation • The 5 core pillars of better sleep and the highest-impact changes you can start tonight Sleep isn't something you force, it's something that happens when your body feels safe, balanced, and supported. When you address the root causes, better sleep becomes not just possible but predictable. Visit ⁠functionhealth.com for 160+ lab tests at just $365 a year.
