Blubrry Nominated as a Favorite Woman Podcaster! Ranked in the Best 15 Christian Health Podcasts! Have you been waking up at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning wondering why you can't stay asleep? If you're navigating perimenopause or menopause, you're not alone. Sleep disruption is one of the most common symptoms women experience during midlife, yet many don't understand the hormonal and biological changes contributing to restless nights. In this episode of Integrative Medicine for Energy and Health, Dr. Rekishia McMillan opens God's Medicine Cabinet to explore why women experience sleep disturbances during menopause and how God's design for the body reveals practical solutions for restoring deep, restorative sleep. You'll discover how your circadian rhythm—your body's internal 24-hour clock—works together with hormones like estrogen, progesterone, melatonin, and cortisol to regulate sleep, energy, and overall wellness. Dr. McMillan also explains why modern habits, including excessive evening light exposure and chronic stress, can disrupt these natural rhythms and offers practical, faith-centered strategies to help you partner with your body instead of fighting against it. You'll also learn about one of God's beautiful botanicals—lavender—and how creating peaceful evening routines can help prepare your mind and body for restorative sleep. If you've been searching for natural ways to improve your sleep, calm your mind, balance your hormones, and wake feeling refreshed, this episode provides science-backed, biblical encouragement you can begin applying tonight. In this episode you'll learn: Why sleep becomes more difficult during perimenopause and menopause How your circadian rhythm regulates sleep, hormones, and energy The role of estrogen, progesterone, melatonin, and cortisol in restorative sleep Why nighttime awakenings and racing thoughts are common during menopause How evening light exposure can disrupt your body's internal clock Simple lifestyle habits that support better sleep and hormonal balance How lavender and calming bedtime routines can help create an environment for restful sleep A simple 7-Night Sleep Challenge to begin restoring your body's natural rhythm Join Dr. Rekishia for the launch of her brand-new summer live podcast series God's Medicine Cabinet™ and The Women's Hormone Workshop: Sign up on Eventbrite Start Your 5-Minute Wellness Check.

Welcome to this week's Midlife Minute. This episode is dedicated to the overwhelming number of HRT-related questions I've received from my community in 2026. Hormone replacement therapy has generated more questions than almost any other midlife topic, especially regarding timing, progesterone, testing, and special situations. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Women can still benefit from HRT later in menopause. The importance of working with a knowledgeable prescriber when making hormone replacement therapy decisions How progesterone tolerance can vary from one woman to another Why your blood work should be timed according to when you apply your estradiol patch, and why I prefer to focus on estradiol rather than routinely monitoring progesterone levels How the synthetic hormones used in oral contraceptives differ from the bioidentical hormones used in HRT How your medical history can influence your hormone replacement therapy plan Fear and outdated information may continue to create confusion about hormone replacement therapy.

Today, I'm delighted to reconnect with Dr. Tabatha Barber, also known as The Gutsy Gynecologist. She is a triple board-certified OB-GYN specializing in perimenopause, menopause, and functional medicine. In today's discussion, we explore why supporting your hormones involves much more than simply replacing them. Dr. Barber explains how our nervous system, internal dialogue, cellular health, stress response, and lifestyle work together to influence our hormones, energy, and overall health during midlife. We also discuss why addressing root causes is essential for lasting improvements, the role of mitochondrial health, and practical ways to better support your nervous system. If you're looking for a more comprehensive approach to navigating perimenopause and menopause, you will not want to miss today's insightful conversation with Dr. Tabatha Barber. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why regulating your nervous system is essential for lasting hormone and health improvements Why the conversations you have with yourself matter more than external circumstances Why Dr. Barber prefers to focus on identifying the root causes of health issues instead of repeatedly treating downstream symptoms How sympathetic dominance and unresolved stress patterns can influence hormone function Other factors, apart from HRT, that are essential for improving women's health during midlife How oxidative stress, lack of sunlight, and disrupted circadian rhythms can contribute to fatigue and reduced cellular energy How hormone changes in midlife often coincide with greater self-awareness, stronger boundaries, and less people-pleasing How faith, prayer, and gratitude can support nervous system regulation Practical ways to support and regulate your nervous system Bio: Tabatha Barber Dr. Tabatha Barber is a triple board-certified physician — and one of the most distinctive voices in faith-based women's health today. Her story begins where most would have stopped. A teenage mother and high school dropout, she rebuilt her life through faith and perseverance — earning her doctorate and certifications before realizing the very system she trained in was missing the whole point. Today, as owner and medical director of Her Higher Health, creator of the Fast to Faith Coaching Academy, 40 Day program, supplement line, and international bestselling book Fast to Faith, Dr. Tabatha brings one message to every stage and microphone: your body is not broken — your approach is. She is known for doing what no one else does: mapping Scripture directly with how the body works — showing women that Romans 12:2 is the original neuroplasticity protocol, that Genesis 2:7 describes the gut-brain connection, and that God designed healing to happen in community.

She's just come off the back of a sell-out UK theatre tour, and her new book, The Power of Hormones, is out now.Louise talks to me about something that might surprise you - how the contraceptive pill doesn't actually contain any real hormones at all.

If you've ever wondered whether your emotions are trying to tell you something or just trying to start a fight, then listen up. This week, Jordana and Dr. Naomi dive into the surprising ways hormones can shape our relationships, from motherhood and perimenopause to the emotional rollercoaster of PMS. They help an Oversharer navigate the complicated mix of grief and relief after a miscarriage and unpack whether the voices behind fear should be used as guidance. Then they tend to a Betchesist who's struggling to understand why her long-term boyfriend won't share his location and ask themselves: Have we turned ourselves into Big Brother? This week's Triggered sparks a debate over whether public speakerphone conversations are ever acceptable and whether a surprise three-week visit from the in-laws is thoughtful or completely boundary-crossing.

Have you ever felt like you become a completely different person during the second half of your cycle? One week you're energized, focused, and confident. The next, you're battling brain fog, irritability, anxiety, exhaustion, and wondering what happened to the version of yourself from just a few days ago. In this live conversation, Dr. Mariza sits down with entrepreneur, former Snapchat executive, and founder of The Cycle, Anastasia Sartan, to explore the overlooked realities of PMDD, hormone fluctuations, and why women's changing biology has been largely ignored by the wellness industry. After struggling with debilitating PMDD while working in the high-pressure tech world, Anastasia set out to create the first functional beverage specifically designed to support women through every stage of their hormonal journey—from the luteal phase and menstruation to perimenopause and menopause. Together, they discuss how chronic stress, motherhood, the invisible mental load, nervous system dysregulation, and modern work culture amplify hormonal symptoms, leaving many women feeling like they're constantly pushing through instead of truly thriving. This conversation is a powerful reminder that your changing hormones aren't a personal failure. They are an invitation to better understand your body, prioritize rest, and finally embrace products, habits, and support systems that were designed with women in mind. ANASTASIA SARTAN Anastasia Sartan is an entrepreneur, former Snapchat executive, data scientist, and founder of The Cycle, the first functional beverage brand created to support women throughout every phase of their hormonal cycle. Inspired by her personal journey with PMDD, she is on a mission to close the gap in women's wellness by creating innovative products that help women feel supported, understood, and empowered. IN THIS EPISODE What PMDD really is and why so many women are misdiagnosed Why hormone fluctuations dramatically impact mood, energy, and resilience The hidden connection between chronic stress, motherhood, and hormonal symptoms How nervous system regulation supports women's hormonal health Why women's wellness products have historically overlooked hormonal cycles The inspiration behind creating The Cycle functional beverage Why rest may be one of the most powerful tools for hormone health How honoring your body's changing needs helps you thrive through every season QUOTES“Periods are a lifestyle, not a medical condition.” “We had the hormones to scaffold us... until we didn't.” “Women deserve products that are designed for women's biology.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Use code DRMARIZA and get 5% off on The Cycle Functional Drinks https://onthecycle.com/s/312c05 Use code ENERGIZED and get 10% off on your MitoQ Order https://www.mitoq.com/energized Use code ENERGIZED and get 10% off on your Troscription Order http://troscriptions.com/ENERGIZED The Cycle Website Anastasia Sartan Instagram RELATED EPISODES  762: Why Women Need to Stop Being “Good Patients” and Start Advocating for Better Healthcare with Dr. Mariza 761: Finding Your Way Back to Pleasure and Feeling Fully Alive with Gabriella Espinosa 760: The Mindset Shift That Helps You Stop Feeling Stuck with Dr. Rachel Goldman 717: “I Don't Feel Like Myself Anymore”: The Mental & Emotional Reality of Perimenopause

Everyone on a GLP-1 is watching the scale; almost no one is watching their bones. Bone loss isn't an inevitable part of aging; it's a reversible signal that something deeper is going wrong, and it starts far earlier than most people are ever warned.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon sits down with Dr. Douglas Lucas, a former Stanford-trained orthopedic surgeon turned bone-health specialist, to discuss:Why bone loss begins around 45 during perimenopause, not 50, and why waiting for your first DEXA scan at 65 is far too late to prevent itThe blind spots in the standard DEXA scan: a scan-to-scan margin of error near 6% and no read on bone quality, only quantityBone turnover markers (CTX and P1NP) you can test from blood to see whether you're building or breaking down bone in real timeWhy the "protein is bad for bones" and "alkalize your diet" beliefs are myths and why protein, minerals, and adequate calcium matter more than calcium aloneWhat rebuilds bone at home: resistance training, real impact like heel drops, and vertical vibration plates used ~10 minutes a dayUnderstanding your bones as a living, changeable organ system means you can catch loss early, measure it honestly, and reverse the trajectory, instead of accepting decline as your fate.Thank you to our sponsors:Head to https://bit.ly/4ftfObn and use code DRLYON for 25% off sitewide.

Episode Description: You eat perfectly all day. You are disciplined, productive, hitting every goal. And then night hits, the phone goes down, the day is over, and something takes over. You are not broken. You are wired. Amber Romaniuk is an emotional eating, hormone, and digestive health expert who has been doing this work for over a decade. She knows what it is to eat tables full of food in one sitting. To throw food away and go back to the dumpster for it. To lose and regain over a thousand pounds across five years. And she knows how that pattern started, what was underneath it, and how it ends. This conversation goes far beneath the behavior into the nervous system, the hormones, the gut, and the childhood wounds that drive the whole cycle. In this episode, you'll discover:  •   Why high achieving women who are disciplined in every other area of their lives are often the most susceptible to emotional eating, and why no amount of external success can fill the internal void that is driving it  •    How people pleasing drives cortisol, suppresses progesterone, tanks thyroid function, and creates the exact hormonal environment that makes nighttime cravings feel impossible to resist  •    The three questions to ask yourself the moment a craving hits at night to tell the difference between physical and emotional hunger, and how to start rewiring the neural pathway that has been lighting up every evening This is not about willpower. It is about what is underneath.

Quick question before we dive in: when's the last time you actually checked in with your body and asked, "Do I feel safe right now?"Not "am I busy" or "am I productive" or "did I check everything off my list." Just safe. Because here's what I know for sure after years of doing this work with women: you cannot have real hormone balance without your body feeling safe first. Not once you fix your gut or once life calms down. First.So today I'm handing you seven (make that eight) small, doable shifts you can start using this afternoon that tell your nervous system "hey, we're okay", so your hormones can stop bracing and start actually working.Here's a taste of what's inside this episode:The one prayer verse I go back to every time I feel unsafe, and why saying it out loud changes something in my bodyA gratitude trick involving fingernails that sounds silly until you try itWhy morning sunlight might be doing more for your hormones than anything in your supplement cabinetThe 20-second thing I put under my tongue when my emotions start spikingWhat "explosive movement" actually means and why it's nothing like another workout on your to-do listThe declaration I say out loud with my kids that's rewiring all our brains at the same timeI know some of these are going to sound almost too simple. You'll hear "walk outside" and think, come on Leisha, I know that already. Sure, maybe you know it. Have you done it today, though?This episode isn't another thing to add to your overwhelming list. It's proof, small and tangible, given to your body over and over, that it's allowed to soften. Your body is always paying attention. It notices if you're tense or loose, if you're holding your breath or letting it go, if you're stuffing a feeling down or actually giving it thirty seconds to exist. And it responds to all of it. Your hormones respond to all of it too.If you feel like you're doing everything right and your hormones are still all over the place, this might be the piece nobody's ever pointed you to. You can eat clean, take every supplement, track your cycle down to the day, and still feel like a wreck if your body never got the message that it's safe. I've watched this play out with client after client. I've watched it play out in my own house.There's a part in this episode where I admit that holding onto my emotions instead of feeling them is basically my default setting. If you pride yourself on being "fine" all the time, on holding it together and not making a big deal out of things, you'll probably recognize yourself here. This is a nudge to stop white knuckling through hard feelings and actually let them move.I also talk about why comfort isn't always the goal. I quote an old workout instructor yelling to get comfortable with being uncomfortable, and it applies here more than you'd think. Feeling safe doesn't mean feeling good every second. It means trusting yourself to survive the discomfort without falling apart. Once you feel that kind of safety, you notice its absence everywhere else.I say this more than once in the episode, and I mean it every time: you don't need all seven of these. Pick one. The salt under your tongue trick. Getting outside before you touch your phone. Saying "I am safe" out loud in your car before a hard conversation. Small shifts stack up on each other faster than you'd expect.And if you've ever felt like your hormones are some unsolvable mystery and your mood swings are just something to grit your teeth through every month, this episode hands you a completely different way to look at the whole thing.So here's my challenge for you. Pick one shift from this list, just one, and try it today before you even finish your coffee. Text a friend and tell her which one you picked. Then text her again in a week and tell her what changed. Sometimes the smallest promise, made out loud to another person, is what actually gets a shift to stick.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:PMS To Peace Private PodcastNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

What if leaving a toxic belief system triggered a full-body health crisis and your doctor missed it entirely? In this episode, Dr. Deb breaks down something she’s been seeing in her clinic for over 20 years: women who escape high-control religious environments and, within months, develop autoimmune disease, hormonal collapse, and chronic fatigue. Their labs look “normal.” Their doctors hand them an antidepressant. And nobody asks why. Dr. Deb does. Drawing on the work of Dr. Daniel Amen, Dr. Datis Kharrazian, Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, and Dr. Uzzi Reiss, she walks through the clinical reality of what religious trauma does to your nervous system, your immune system, and your hormones, and exactly what it takes to heal at the root cause. This isn’t therapy talk. This is biology. In this episode: Why purity culture dysregulates your HPA axis and ovarian function The autoimmune cascade that follows prolonged psychological trauma What conventional medicine gets wrong — and what functional medicine does instead The clinical protocols Dr. Deb actually uses with these patients If your body has been in revolt since leaving a controlling environment, this episode was made for you.

Est-ce que vous aussi, à la puberté, on vous a proposé deux options pour recueillir votre fluide menstruel : les serviettes hygiéniques ou les tampons ? On avait l'impression d'avoir du choix, il y avait plusieurs marques, formes, niveaux d'absorption et même des fragrances fleurs blanches pour masquer les éventuelles odeurs… Le paradis hein !Puis petit à petit le voile a été levé sur la quantité de produits chimiques contenus dans ces produits placés pendant des heures, plusieurs jours par mois, plusieurs années de notre vie tout contre nos muqueuses qui ont la particularité de tout absorber. Constat terrible, même dans les protections périodiques biologiques, des produits chimiques tels que des pesticides ont été retrouvés.Sont apparus dans le même temps la coupe menstruelle, les culottes menstruelles que j'ai personnellement adoptées et puis, un peu plus tard, j'ai finalement entendu parler du flux instinctif libre. Je me suis d'abord dit que c'était un peu perché, puis trop lourd pour ma charge mentale mais en voyant des copines le pratiquer j'ai voulu investiguer et j'ai découvert le reportage La Révolution menstruelle, réalisé par Mélissa Carlier et produit par la plateforme On Suzanne.

Today we're going to explore how fasting interacts with women's hormones and why the best approach often changes throughout different stages of life.One of the biggest mistakes in the nutrition world is assuming that if something works for one person, it should work for everyone.Human biology doesn't work that way.Women have a much more dynamic hormonal environment than men. iNSULIN RESISTANCE AND FASTING 7-26

In part one, Dr. Liz Bartman and I broke down why PMDD happens: the histamine surges, the GABA receptor glitch, the progesterone metabolite that either calms you down or completely wrecks you depending on your unique biology. If you haven't listened to that one yet, start there, because this episode builds directly on it. Now we get into the part everyone actually wants to know: what do you do about it? We talk about why popular fixes like DAO supplements and strict low histamine diets usually fall short, and what to focus on instead, starting with your gut, your liver, and your nervous system. Dr. Liz walks through her actual clinical protocols, including specific nutrients, herbs, and the EndoAccess formulas she uses with patients who have histamine overload, progesterone sensitivity, or both. We also get into the harder conversations: when a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor might help women who are pushing too much allopregnanolone, what's really going on hormonally for women hitting perimenopause with worsening PMDD, and yes, when birth control or even an SSRI might actually be the safest, most compassionate choice, even for someone who leans natural. Dr. Liz makes a case that will challenge how you think about "first, do no harm." This episode is about giving you an actual roadmap, not just information. Because once you understand your own biology, from part one, you can finally stop guessing and start treating the right thing. In This Episode, We Cover: Why DAO supplements and strict low histamine diets usually don't solve the problem long term The gut, liver, and nervous system focused approach Dr. Liz uses first with patients Key nutrients and antioxidants for calming histamine and neuroinflammation, including glutathione support, sulforaphane, green tea, pomegranate, curcumin, NAC, and glycine Why alcohol is one of the biggest hidden disruptors of histamine clearance and hormone balance Specific probiotic strains, including lactobacillus plantarum, and their surprising role in GABA receptor expression The EndoAccess formulas Dr. Liz uses clinically for histamine support and for progesterone sensitive PMDD, including early results from a small group of patients What 5-alpha reductase inhibition is, how it relates to allopregnanolone, and when it may help Why perimenopausal women can suddenly develop worse PMDD, and the surprising role of testosterone, insulin, and FSH The honest conversation about birth control, newer options, and when it may be the safest choice for severe PMDD Where SSRIs fit in, including luteal phase only dosing and what to support alongside them Why the nervous system piece is the part most women skip, and why it may be the most important one Who This Episode Is For This is for women who now understand why they're struggling, from part one, and want an actual plan. It's for anyone who has tried supplements or progesterone with no luck and felt like they were out of options. It's especially for women in perimenopause noticing their PMDD or PMS getting dramatically worse, and for anyone who has felt conflicted about whether birth control or an SSRI could ever be the "right" choice for them.     Sponsors Join the Midlife Women's Peptide Program today and get started for less than $200 a month!

This week on Country Club Girls, we're covering two very different kinds of whiplash. First, we're joined by Mia Scott of Rixa Health to talk about the hormonal roller coaster that is perimenopause. Why are we suddenly sweaty, anxious, exhausted, bloated, forgetting words, and questioning our sanity? We get into HRT, what's actually normal, what isn't, and why so many women are suffering in silence when they don't have to. Want to keep the conversation going? Get your tickets to Rixa Health's Women's Health Summit at summit.rixahealth.com. Then it's time to unpack Meredith's trip to Napa. From wine country adventures and vacation stories to the moments we definitely need more details on, we're recapping the highlights (and the chaos) from her getaway, as well as her roasting Brittany for her awful wine preferences. Hormones. Hot flashes. Cabernet. Questionable decisions. Just another week at the club. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Could erectile dysfunction be a warning sign from your body rather than just a performance issue? Today I'm hosting Dr. Jordan Barber to uncover how sexual health is connected to pelvic floor dysfunction, nerve compression, trauma, toxins, hormones, and lifestyle choices. Dr. Barber shares how his background in Chinese medicine and acupuncture has shaped his approach to identifying the root causes of ED rather than masking symptoms with quick fixes. We also discuss testosterone, circadian rhythms, vagus nerve health, and porn's impact on dopamine signaling. He also offers practical strategies men can use to support better sexual function and longevity. Tune in for the bigger picture behind erectile dysfunction and a more holistic approach to improving vitality.   "If a man has performance anxiety, he's going to be stuck in a sympathetic state, which will not allow him to maintain or have a firm erection." ~  Dr. Jordan Barber   In This Episode: - Erectile dysfunction as a health signal - Pelvic floor dysfunction and nerve pathways - The neurology of an erection - Tools to ease performance anxiety - Hormones, toxins, and testosterone replacement - Hair growth medications and erectile issues - Porn, dopamine, and performance issues  - Root causes of ED beyond blood flow - ED medications: risks and alternatives   Products & Resources Mentioned: Dr. Jordan Barber's Book: Thinking In Chinese Medicine: A Patient's Guide to Acupuncture: https://a.co/d/0eLhBT6P  Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/  Organifi Happy Drops: Save 20% with code MYERSDETOX at https://organifi.com/myersdetox    Heavy Metals Quiz: Take the quiz at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About Dr. Jordan Barber: Dr. Jordan Barber is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) specializing in integrative pain care with a focus on pelvic floor dysfunction, chronic pelvic pain, and complex musculoskeletal conditions.

Cycling is fantastic for cardiovascular fitness, endurance, and getting around—but what happens when it becomes your main form of movement? In this episode, Katy Bowman and Dr. Jeannette Loram explore how cycling shapes the body, from bone health and posture to hip mobility, spinal curves, and pelvic comfort. They discuss why even healthy forms of exercise don't provide every movement nutrient you need, and share practical strategies to help cyclists enjoy the ride while supporting long-term strength, mobility, and resilience.Plus Katy speaks with Tyler Benner, founder of Strong Feet Athletics, about the role of the feet in cycling and what happens when we lock them into rigid compressive cycling shoes for hours at a time. They explore the benefits of a more foot-shaped, flexible cycling shoe and how allowing the feet more freedom may help support lower limb function both on and off the bike.Enhanced Show Notes and Full Transcript0:22 — Dynamic Collective Sponsors2:37 — Introduction to Cycling, the Movement Diet, and the Tissues of the Body5:35 — Bone Density in Cyclists13:36 — Low Energy Availability in Cyclists: Effects on Hormones and Bones17:36 — How Your Body Can Become Semi-Fixed in a Cycling Shape20:04 — Hyperkyphosis and Cervical Issues25:19 — Pelvic Position and Compression30:47 — Practical Ways to Balance Cycling33:22 — Interview with Tyler Benner: The Creator of the First Foot-Shaped Cycling Shoe56:10 — Listener Question: What Kind of Pillow Should You Sleep On?

Lindsay explains why someone can be “too lean” to effectively build muscle even if they're eating at maintenance and maintaining body weight. She argues maintenance calories don't automatically mean an optimal physiological environment for growth because the body also evaluates energy reserves (body fat), recovery, training stress, sleep, and hormone signals like leptin, plus changes in estrogen and thyroid hormones that affect performance and recovery. Topics discussed:(00:00) - Welcome (01:31) - Social Media Body Bias (06:51) - Maintenance vs Reserves (08:08) - Budgeting Analogy Explained (11:58) - Hormones and Leptin (16:36) - Menopause Muscle Reality (18:58) - For Who and What Goal?

In this episode of the Habit Based Lifestyle Podcast, host Jesse Ewell breaks down why the biggest breakthroughs in business, health, marriage, and leadership don't come from more information – they come from your daily habits. Takeaways: From chiropractor to hormone expert: Dr. Mark went from traditional chiropractic and 6 neuropathy clinics to a cash-based hormone and peptide practice serving thousands. Insurance battle became the turning point: A 10‑year fight and a potential $4M clawback (which he ultimately won) pushed him to leave insurance and go all‑cash. "Normal" labs are not optimal: He focuses on free testosterone, SHBG, estradiol, and hematocrit, not just "normal" total T ranges. Low T shows up before libido issues: Brain fog, stubborn belly fat, poor gym results, and non‑restorative sleep are early warning signs. Men need estrogen too: Zeroing out estrogen wrecks recovery, sleep, mood, and erections; balance—not elimination—is the goal. Sub‑Q TRT works better for many: Easier injections, good absorption, and fewer estrogen/hematocrit issues than old-school IM shots. Hormones can change mental health trajectories: Optimizing testosterone has helped some men avoid or later taper psych meds (with their MDs). Peptides & NAD are the next layer: Tools like BPC‑157 + TB‑500, Glow/Clo, Mot‑C, and NAD are used for repair, fat utilization, energy, and anti-aging. You can't out-inject a bad lifestyle: Without protein, movement, sleep, hydration, and collagen, meds and peptides only "rent" results. Massive opportunity for chiropractors: Peptides are a projected $300B market, and patients will get them somewhere—quality sourcing (503A/503B) and real education matter. Content builds authority: Books, podcasts, and social media turned Dr. Mark into a recognized expert—and he urges practitioners to "embrace the suck" and start creating.

Send us Fan MailAaron and Peaches sit down to talk Blue Angels flyovers, testosterone testing, military medicine, height-to-waist standards, and why the military has to get serious about health before people break.The episode starts with the Blue Angels beach flyover debate and whether something can be technically questionable while still being completely awesome. Then the guys get into the bigger conversation around the Department of War pushing testosterone checks for men over 30, why the military medical system has resisted basic hormone testing for years, and how operator syndrome, traumatic brain injuries, cortisol dysfunction, vitamin D deficiency, and low free testosterone can wreck performance and mental health.Aaron talks through his own fight to get blood work done, what the military missed, and why private-sector care finally helped him understand the difference between total testosterone and free testosterone.The conversation also hits height-to-waist standards, fat bodies in uniform, why some people will get flagged unfairly, and why most people need to stop making excuses. The bottom line: fitness is not just about looking good in uniform. It affects mental health, cognitive performance, readiness, durability, and who you become after the military.Check out Tasty Gains:TastyGains.comRegister for Operator Training Summit:OperatorTrainingSummit.comChapters:00:00 - Intro, Tasty Gains, and Operator Training Summit03:02 - Blue Angels Flyover Controversy03:39 - Unsafe vs. Inappropriate05:00 - Why Professionals Change the Risk Equation06:59 - Was the Flyover Necessary?08:22 - Pensacola, Nellis, and Airshow Culture09:20 - Testosterone Testing in the Military10:37 - What the Headlines Are Missing11:14 - Operator Syndrome and Low Testosterone12:11 - Fighting the Military Medical System12:55 - Vitamin D Deficiency in the Military14:34 - The Problem With “Normal” Testosterone Ranges16:00 - Trying to Raise Testosterone Naturally17:14 - Total Testosterone vs. Free Testosterone18:08 - TBI, Free Test, and Feeling Broken18:57 - Whoop Blood Work and Better Data19:19 - Breaking Down Institutional Resistance20:12 - Why This Could Lead to Better Screening21:02 - How the Referral System Fails People22:08 - Why Baseline Testing Matters22:34 - Trauma Medicine vs. Clinical Medicine23:55 - Military Medicine, COVID, and Bad Advice26:35 - Readiness Pressure and Medical Liability27:30 - SSRIs, Mental Health, and Missed Questions29:26 - The Military Health System Problem30:33 - Women, Hormones, and HRT30:42 - What to Ask Before Accepting Medication31:29 - Akron Bar Fight Story34:46 - Air Force Height-to-Waist Ratio35:11 - Body Composition Standards Come Back Around36:52 - Old BMI Standards and Fat Boy Programs37:19 - Height and Weight Charts39:41 - Peaches Tests the Calculator41:16 - When the Standard Misses Body Type42:40 - Trent's Monster Habit43:29 - Strategic Energy Drinks43:56 - Ten-Year-Old Crushes the Army PT Test45:30 - Kids, Discipline, and Internet Boundaries47:34 - Coaching Kids Through Hard Things48:25 - Wrestling Coach Motivation50:38 - Height-to-Waist and Job Performance51:40 - Human Performance and Mental Health52:34 - Obesity, COVID, and Comorbidities53:54 - Water, Sunlight, Nutrition, and Fitness55:26 - What People Cut First When Life Gets Busy55:42 - Sleep as a Performance Enhancer56:43 - Why Fitness Improves Mental Health58:26 - Confidence, Attraction, and Looking Better59:45 - Extrinsic Motivation Still Counts01:01:12 - Final Thoughts and Members-Only PreviewSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...

Strength means nothing if your nervous system never gets the signal to rest.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan, exercise physiologist and professor at UNC Chapel Hill, to break down sympathetic versus parasympathetic states, why "central nervous system fatigue" shows up in athletes and high performers alike, and how recovery, not more output, is often the missing lever. We get into simple breathwork, the role of community and mindset in downregulation, and how nutrition, hydration, and hormones shape your capacity to handle stress at every life stage. This isn't about doing less. It's about learning to periodize the push so you can sustain it.What we explore:- Sprint-then-rest cycles, and why sustainable performance depends on both.- Sympathetic vs. parasympathetic states, explained in plain terms.- Diaphragmatic breathwork, the two-minute reset that works anywhere.- Burnout warning signs in high performers and athletes.- Recovery tech, from hyperbaric chambers to guided vibration therapy.- Hormones and midlife, and their direct impact on nervous system regulation.Chapters:00:00 What Is Proof of Practice With Gabby and Abbie03:19 Why You Can't Sprint Forever Without Burning Out05:29 Sympathetic vs Parasympathetic Nervous System Explained07:47 How to Recognize Franticness Before It Takes Over11:41 The Breathwork Trick: Belly First, Longer Exhale18:12 Why Pushing Hard Without Recovery Backfires25:03 Burnout Warning Signs in Athletes and High Performers37:32 Inside the Hyperbaric Chamber and Shiftwave Chair Setup44:29 Why Under-Eating Sabotages Cortisol and Recovery47:41 Hydration, Supplements, and Microdosing After 5054:39 How Hormones Affect Your Nervous System in Midlife56:46 How to Regulate Your Nervous System Under LoadAbout Dr. Abby Smith-Ryan:Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan is a professor of exercise physiology and nutrition at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she directs the Applied Physiology Laboratory.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Becca: Hi Dr. Cabral! My husband is challenged by a "cobalt conundrum". Several years back he was overexposed to wet cement, spending hours mixing it with his hands. (Big mistake) Shortly after he developed a severe body rash along with painful cramps and diarrhea. After many tests, they found an allergy to cobalt via a skin test, and we assume it relates to the cement mixing incident. Severely limiting cobalt both topically and in diet has helped, but he still struggles with GI issues. Functional medicine tests showed leaky gut. He attempted treatment but even one basic supplement (dairy free igg) caused severe stomach issues. Meanwhile he's missing vital nutrients from avoiding b12 (cobalt) etc. How can he address leaky gut and allergies when he's so sensitive to treatments? Signed, Your Fan       Ally: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a new Level 2 graduate and I have a new client who is 20-years old with a history of anorexia. she is 5-years post treatment. She complains of bloating, constipation, and just having trouble eating. She is of normal weight, and is looking for relief. I was thinking of doing the Big 3 labs and the CBO protocol.. Any recommendations would be very appreciated. I do not want to recommend the wrong plan of care for her. Warmest regards, Ally :)      Tommy: Hey Dr. C, I'm an IHP, 36. Had a birth defect, 3 operations by the age of 8 including tonsillectomy. Sleep issues began at 9, insomnia by 12, eczema, fainting, 14 years of steroid creams and thousands of antibiotics. I've got high heavy metals and Citrabacter freundi. I can't tolerate any protocols even at a lower dose, they make my existing problems worse. On days where I train intensely I struggle to shut off. I feel like my body is always stuck in a low level of stress. I've cut down my training a lot but I'm not sure what else I can do. I'm tolerating zinc Carnosine which helps but I still always have red skin on my face. Still struggle to tolerate stress. If only I could do a heavy metal protocol.       Sarah: Hi! Hope you are well and love tuning in daily to learn from you! I have been trying to heal leaky gut and chronic hives for over a decade now. Because I am very reactive I stop and start a lot. However, I recently gave in and started a low dose prednisone and over a couple weeks lost 10lbs of inflammation, hives gone, that I couldn't break with any diet (restriction), exercise etc. I would like to do some testing and do the CBO protocol as this started after antibiotics. My question is, will this skew the results of cortisol/A1C and will it be okay to continue on to keep symptoms calm while getting to the root and going through some protocols? Thanks! (BTW) I have tried all the natural stabilizers and didn't help calm symptoms. (Quercetin, Vit C, Mag, etc)       Sienna: Hi Dr. Cabral, this is a follow up to my question on 3782 re testing for perimenopause please. Thank you for your guidance and if I could run EL labs I would. I have NO access to Saliva Testing in my country (and EL don't ship here). So I know about SMM & Fertility Labs but can't run them so I am *specifically* asking IF estrogen & progesterone tested by an endocrinologist (BLOOD) have ANY value as a way to look at levels? LH, FSH & AMH are great as I can get these from bloods, can you please provide the healthy ranges vs. perimenopause? Would really appreciate it as this is the only option I have to look deeper & PCP here don't have a functional approach so really value your guidance on anything you can share to help me support my body. Thank-you, Sienna     Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3817 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Chalene Johnson breaks down retatrutide, the peptide everyone is calling a GLP-3 and an Ozempic killer, cutting through the hype to get to what the science actually says. Eli Lilly's own clinical trials show weight loss results that beat anything semaglutide or tirzepatide has produced, but retatrutide is not FDA approved and is not legally available at any US pharmacy, which means almost nobody buying it online is actually getting the real thing. Chalene explains what retatrutide actually is (a triple agonist that adds glucagon receptor activity to the GLP-1 and GIP receptors already targeted by Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound), walks through what the phase three trial data really shows versus how it is being exaggerated online, and shares why an independent lab test of vials sold through TikTok, med spas, and Reddit found most contained only 7 to 14 percent of anything resembling the real molecule. She also unpacks the muscle preservation claims that are not backed by human data, the anhedonia and placebo effect reports circulating online, why bariatric surgery comparisons need context, and how to find a reputable source like Midi Health for anyone considering a GLP-1 through legitimate medical channels. Topics discussed: retatrutide, Ozempic, semaglutide, Wegovy, tirzepatide, Mounjaro, Zepbound, GLP-1, GLP-3, Eli Lilly, bariatric surgery, Midi Health, anhedonia, muscle wasting, peptides, BPC 157 Go Beyond The Podcast Join Chalene on her private podcast
