In this conversation, Dr. Sarah Daccarett and I delve into the complexities of women's hormonal health, discussing outdated practices in hormone replacement therapy (HRT), the impact of birth control, and the importance of understanding hormonal changes throughout a woman's life. We emphasize the need for women to be informed about their hormonal health, the role of progesterone, and the connection between hormones and autoimmunity. This discussion also covers effective delivery methods for hormone therapy and the significance of early intervention in managing hormonal health.   Time Stamps:   (00:28) Introduction to Hormonal Health and HRT   (05:21) The Need for Early Hormonal Intervention   (10:28) Consequences of Long-Term Birth Control Use   (18:11) The Role of Progesterone in Women's Health   (25:29) Link Between Hormones and Autoimmunity   (31:13) Understanding Inflammation and Autoimmunity   (37:27) Delivery Methods for Hormone Replacement Therapy   (49:32) The Importance of Gut Health in Hormonal Balance   (56:31) Final Thoughts and Resources for Women ------------------- Website: https://www.innerbalance.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/innerbalancemd Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sarahdaccarettmd Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@InnerBalanceMD ------------------- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolcovinofitness/ -------------------- My YouTube Channel: http://youtube.com/@carolcovinofitness -------------------- My Book:  FINDING PURPOSE IN THE PAUSE

This radio show segment features an in-depth conversation with Dr. Bar, an expert in alternative therapies, exploring the rising concern of declining male hormones. The discussion highlights how testosterone levels and sperm count have steadily decreased over recent decades, a trend linked to chronic stress, widespread exposure to environmental toxins, and the growing prevalence of obesity. Rather than viewing these issues in isolation, Dr. Bar frames them as interconnected signs of imbalance that reflect the pressures of modern living. Conventional approaches such as hormone replacement therapy are critiqued for addressing symptoms without resolving underlying causes, and for carrying risks that may compromise long-term health. In contrast, the segment advocates for a holistic strategy that focuses on restoring the body's natural ability to regulate hormones. Lifestyle changes that reduce stress, targeted nutritional support, and the use of specific peptides are emphasized as powerful ways to encourage the body's own hormone production and improve overall vitality. The conversation also examines common challenges in male sexual health, including erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, and presents emerging therapies that aim to restore confidence and intimacy. Treatments such as the P-Shot, alongside peptide options like PT-141, are discussed as innovative interventions that can enhance sexual function when combined with a balanced hormonal foundation. Ultimately, the segment underscores that maintaining a healthy hormonal profile is not simply about reproductive capacity or sexual performance, but about sustaining energy, resilience, and overall well-being throughout a man's life.

At just 24, Maddie Pollack faced a life-changing Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis—and transformed her healing journey into a mission to empower women through holistic health and entrepreneurship.

Her story is not only one of survival, but of reclaiming purpose and aligning wellness with leadership. Maddie dives into the personal health challenges that can arise in the wake of illness, from hormonal imbalances to stress-related symptoms. Maddie candidly reflects on her own experience with recovery and the lifestyle changes that helped her restore balance, including shifting from high-intensity workouts to strength training and yoga, and prioritizing protein-rich meals to stabilize energy and hormones. The conversation expands to highlight the overlooked realities of women's health, from PCOS and irregular cycles to the ways traditional studies have ignored female physiology. Listeners will gain practical insights into building sustainable wellness habits: nourishing the body with balanced meals, syncing workouts with menstrual cycles, managing cortisol through mindful movement, and embracing daily rituals like journaling, gratitude, and deep breathing to calm the nervous system.

Maddie challenges the outdated narrative that success requires burnout and sacrifice, instead advocating for a model where women prioritize health as the foundation for growth, freedom, and fulfillment. Her reflections serve as a powerful reminder that honoring your body is not just a personal practice—it's a leadership strategy. Tune in to hear Maddie's inspiring story and learn how to cultivate balance, resilience, and true alignment in both business and life.

Summary In this conversation, Ali Damron and Elizabeth Katzman delve into the complexities of hormonal health, particularly focusing on the effects of birth control and the concept of the 'pill hangover.' They discuss the symptoms women experience after discontinuing birth control, the impact of hormonal contraceptives on overall health, and the importance of understanding the long-term effects of these medications. Katzman emphasizes the need for informed consent and the significance of addressing nutrient depletion and nervous system health in women transitioning off hormonal birth control. The discussion also covers alternative contraceptive options and the importance of education in empowering women to make informed choices about their health. Takeaways The term 'pill hangover' describes lingering symptoms after stopping birth control. Many women experience symptoms like anxiety, fatigue, and hormonal chaos post-pill. Birth control can suppress ovulation and disrupt hormonal balance. Understanding the difference between progestins and bioidentical progesterone is crucial. Nutrient depletion from birth control can lead to various health issues. The nervous system's health is impacted by hormonal changes and nutrient deficiencies. Women should be educated about their menstrual cycles and hormonal health. Informed consent is essential when considering hormonal treatments. Alternative contraceptive methods exist that do not disrupt natural hormone production. Long-term health considerations should guide contraceptive choices.   Chapters 00:00 Understanding the Pill Hangover 02:50 Defining Post-Pill Symptoms 04:32 The Impact of Hormonal Birth Control 07:50 Comparing Birth Control Methods 10:05 Progestins vs. Progesterone 12:19 The Risks of Synthetic Hormones 14:00 Informed Consent in Birth Control 17:50 Natural Alternatives to Hormonal Treatments 19:20 Addressing Mineral Depletion and Recovery 19:35 Gut Health and Mental Well-being 22:50 Nutrient Depletion and Hormonal Balance 26:59 Understanding Menstrual Cycles and Hormonal Health 29:48 Innovations in Women's Health: Bioregulators and Peptides 33:58 The Role of Lifestyle in Hormonal Health 37:54 Practitioner Insights and Patient Care   Resources Elizabeth's IG Elizabeth's Website  Ali's Resources:  Calm the Chaos: Practical Tips and Tools for Stopping Anxiety in It's Tracks Course!

Exposure to mold toxicity affects hormonal balance. You may not have been exposed to mold or you may not know that you've been exposed to mold. That mold doesn't always look like asthma or you getting sick, but it may look like a simple symptom that might be mistaken for menopause. Stay tuned to this episode and learn what mold exposure can do, what it might feel like and why you might simply mistaken your menopause symptoms when they could be so much more! My Guest: Dr. Jaban Moore is a Doctor of Chiropractic located in Kansas City who works virtually with clients through functional medicine to assist them in overcoming chronic health conditions. He went from being an award-winning college athlete to not being able to get out of bed. He sought out countless doctors looking for answers, but doctors only gave him “band-aid” solutions. He was later diagnosed with Lyme disease. After overcoming this complex infection, he helped clients discover the causes of their symptoms. Dr. Moore specializes in Lyme disease, PANS/PANDAS, autism, parasitic infections, and environmental toxicities.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:13:44] How does mold toxicity specifically impact hormonal balance during menopause? [00:18:45] What are the common symptoms women might experience if mold toxicity is impacting their hormones? [00:22:46] How can women identify if mold exposure is a hidden factor in their menopausal symptoms? [00:30:53] What detox strategies do you recommend for safely eliminating mold toxins from the body? [00:37:08] Are there specific biohacking tools or supplements you like that can support hormones during this detox process? [00:40:03] How long does it typically take to see improvements once mold toxicity is addressed?   Why Mold Toxicity Affects Hormonal Balance More Than You Think   What Mold Exposure Can Do? Fungus that grows on walls, food, flooring, etc. Beauty products, Botox, and lifestyle toxins contribute to a decreased immune system. Disrupts mitochondria, elevates cortisol, blocks melatonin. May cause exercise intolerance due to “backpack of toxins”.   Symptoms of Mold Toxicity Chronic fatigue, weight gain, anxiety, GI issues, hormone imbalances Can trigger inflammation, autoimmune responses Mold symptoms are often mistaken for menopause   Dr. Moore's Detox Roadmap Replenish nutrients (glutathione, potassium, sodium, B12) Open drainage (lymph, liver, bowels) Safe place - remove environmental toxins (air, food, water, hygiene products, dental and implants) Nervous system - address stress and trauma (therapy) Start detox using antimicrobials + binders (e.g., carboxy, pectasol) How long will it take? Mold detox alone: typically 3–4 months More complex cases: can take years Depends on sensitivity and co-infections   Biohacking Tools That Work Infrared Sauna (160°F+) Red Light Therapy Lymphatic Drainage Castor Oil packs, dry brushing More advanced: Ozone Blood Filtering (EBOO), Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy (PEMF), Neural Therapy  Most aren't required, but they speed up recovery   Connect with Dr. Jaban: Website of Dr. Jaban Moore Facebook - Dr. Jaban Moore Facebook Group - True Healing Strategies with Dr. Jaban Instagram - Dr. Jaban Moore Instagram - @redefiningwellnesscenter_ Tiktok - @drjabanmoore_   Other Episodes You Might Like: Previous Episode - What Is Sarcopenia and How to Avoid Sarcopenia In Menopause Next Episode - Retired Lawyer Shares How to Advocate for Yourself & Loved Ones More Like This - How to Use Stress as a Tool for Hormone Balance   Resources: Don't know where to start?

If you're frustrated by weight gain, depleted energy, or feel like your metabolism suddenly hit a wall, you're not alone—especially if you're navigating the hormonal rollercoaster of perimenopause or menopause. In this empowering episode, health journalist Natalie Tysdal is joined by Stephanie Crassweller, international speaker, master's-level nutrition coach, and host of the Metabolism and Menopause Podcast. Together, they dive into the not-so-obvious drivers behind women's metabolism in midlife—and what you can actually do about them. Expect practical strategies, compassionate insight, and the truth about why “eat less, move more” simply isn't the answer for women in this season of life. Learn how to work with your shifting hormones and stress response—not against them—to support sustainable energy, metabolism, and well-being. 3 Key Takeaways from This Episode Stress is the Unsung Metabolism Saboteur Chronic stress and elevated cortisol disrupt everything from sleep and gut health to thyroid function, making it harder to burn fat and easier to gain weight. Recognizing and managing stress is essential to healing your metabolism. Eating Less Isn't Always Better Undereating and inconsistent fueling push your body into fight-or-flight mode, increasing inflammation and triggering metabolic slowdown. For many women, doing less with more intention works better than pushing harder. Hormones Change the Metabolic Game As estrogen and progesterone decline, the body loses its built-in stress protection, exposing hidden issues with blood sugar, thyroid, and inflammation. Understanding your hormonal landscape helps you make changes that work for your unique body. In This Conversation, We Cover   Why traditional weight loss approaches often backfire after age 35   The hidden impact of under-eating and why breakfast matters   Simple first steps for women overwhelmed by nutrition “rules”   The difference between male and female metabolism   How routines, meal prep, and smart shortcuts support success   What Dutch testing is and when to consider hormone labs   Why sustainable food swaps and real-life habits matter more than perfection More About This Episode Stephanie Crassweller brings decades of experience in women's health, holding a master's degree and certifications in nutrition coaching, functional health, personal training, and exercise therapy. In this episode, she explains how stress, sleep, under-fueling, and hormone shifts affect metabolism, especially in perimenopause and menopause. She and Natalie discuss how even “healthy” processed foods and common dieting advice can work against women's health goals. Instead, they share how to simplify nutrition, embrace whole foods, support hormone balance, and develop easy habits that reduce stress and increase energy. This is a must-listen if you've ever wondered why your body feels different as you age—or if you've felt frustrated watching men lose weight faster with less effort.

But what if they all stem from something simple… and fixable?Lyndsay Soprano talks with Natalie Jurado, founder of Rooted In, about the quiet power of magnesium. Not the kind in chalky pills or powders that mess with your gut—but in a cream your body can actually absorb.

It's about understanding your body, getting ahead of burnout, and giving your nervous system the support it's been quietly begging for.Tune in if you've tried everything for your pain, sleep, or stress—and nothing's worked.

***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS May 7th, 2025!*** We'll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use 'fast cycling' to achieve uncommon results! ⁠REGISTER HERE!⁠ Click the Link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! In this science-packed episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling reveal how significant weight loss transforms fat tissue at a cellular level, creating metabolic changes that make results more sustainable. They explain how losing 16-20% of body weight through fasting remodels adipose tissue—reducing inflammatory leptin levels by 40% while increasing beneficial adiponectin—which improves insulin sensitivity and reduces hunger even during extended periods without food. The hosts share why many people struggle to maintain their new eating patterns long-term despite initial success, and provide practical strategies for optimizing your lifestyle beyond the honeymoon phase. They emphasize how success comes from transitioning from seeing time-restricted eating as a temporary weight loss tool to adopting it as part of your identity, developing consistent schedules that become automatic rather than requiring constant willpower. This episode offers a comprehensive roadmap for optimizing both biological and psychological aspects of your weight loss journey, helping listeners move from short-term results to sustainable lifestyle change.

Angela welcomes back Ben Azadi, author of the new book "Metabolic Freedom" to delve into the critical differences between metabolic freedom and the common state of metabolic prison, where individuals are trapped in a cycle of sugar burning and insulin resistance. Ben shares insights from his extensive research, stressing the importance of maintaining balanced blood sugar levels and the role of muscle mass in enhancing insulin sensitivity, while Angela recounts her personal journey with PCOS and how dietary changes transformed her health. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many individuals are trapped in a "metabolic prison," primarily burning sugar for energy, which can lead to insulin resistance and various health issues. In contrast, metabolic freedom allows the body to efficiently switch between burning sugar and fat, promoting better energy levels and overall health. High insulin levels are a precursor to metabolic diseases, including diabetes and heart disease. Regular testing of fasting insulin levels is crucial for assessing metabolic health, with optimal levels being in the single digits. Increasing muscle mass through strength training enhances insulin sensitivity and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Maintaining muscle as one ages can prevent metabolic slowdown and promote better health outcomes. Focusing solely on calorie counting can be misleading. Instead, prioritizing the quality of food—such as whole, unprocessed foods—can lead to better hormonal balance and overall health, making weight loss a natural side effect of improved health. Chronic stress can lead to elevated cortisol levels, which promote fat storage and hinder fat burning. Managing stress through various methods, including exercise and mindfulness, is essential for maintaining metabolic health and overall well-being. BEST MOMENTS "Unfortunately, most people are in a metabolic prison. They're handcuffed by food in order to have some short energy... when you are stuck burning sugar, it's not a fun way to live." "I think the misconception is that if we don't have good control of our metabolism, then we're going to look overweight. I certainly didn't... I was slim and fit and looked fine." "High levels of insulin... it's the first domino to fall that leads to all these metabolic diseases. It starts with high blood pressure, you start gaining weight, and then it's pre-diabetes." "We have a slight advantage insofar as we have a menstrual cycle and we can check what's going on... I think that maybe we're a little more conscious of our health because we get these signs."
