Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about zero-calorie drinks and whether they are really the guilt-free option we have been led to believe. A well-known Copenhagen study compared four groups of people who drank a liter a day of regular soda, diet soda, milk, or water for six months, and the results were surprising enough to stop anyone mid-sip. Could a beverage with absolutely no calories still be working against your blood sugar, waistline and your metabolism? What do your gut, your pancreas, and even your taste buds have to do with it? Jenn digs into the science, questions the study's details, and shares what she has seen play out in real life with herself and her clients for years. But before you toss your diet soda or defend it to the end, you should hear what Jenn has to say about who this affects, why, and whether the calorie count on the label is telling you anywhere near the whole story. Like what you're hearing? Be sure to check out the full-length episodes of new releases every Wednesday. Have an idea for a nutrition nugget?

Why is it that some people eat well, exercise consistently, and still struggle to lose weight?     If you've ever felt like your body is fighting against you instead of working with you, today's episode may provide the missing piece.     Emerging research suggests that fat cells don't just store energy they may also act as a protective buffer against chronic inflammation.     That means your body could be swelling existing fat cells or even creating new ones in response to internal stress, toxins, hormone imbalances, or immune activation.     So on today's Cabral Concept 3673, I'll break down the research behind how inflammation disrupts fat-burning hormones and share practical strategies to lower inflammation, so your body no longer feels the need to hold onto protective fat.     Enjoy the show!   - - - For Everything Mentioned In Today's Show: StephenCabral.com/3573 - - - 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?

Today, I am thrilled to connect with Dr. Sonya Jensen, a naturopathic physician on a mission to transform how women understand themselves and their bodies. She believes women are central to their families and communities, and by supporting women, we create a ripple effect that supports the whole. In our conversation, we explore the sense of selfishness many women feel when advocating for their needs, and why choosing ourselves, especially in midlife, is essential. We discuss science-versus-soul transformations, gestational silence and trauma, and the physiological effects shaping this generation and those to come. We also unpack how stress impacts the immune system and autoimmunity, why stress reduction techniques are the key to vagus nerve activation, the link between mental health and hormones, womb-wisdom and generational influences, how grief and sadness can influence us profoundly, and the value of trusting our intuition and embracing the gifts of aging. I know you will enjoy this discussion with Sonya Jensen. She shares a gentle, loving, and kind message for women- one that is well worth reflecting upon. Be sure to keep an eye out for her upcoming book, Heal Your Hormones, Reclaim Yourself, scheduled for release in early 2026, where she connects hormonal chaos, emotional overload, and relationship pain through her integrative method. After the recording, Dr. Jensen noted a clarification: there were 50 famines in total during British rule in India, not 50 famines in a single year. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How awareness practices can help you become more physically regulated when things feel overwhelming Why friable emotions are not due to personal failure or a faulty mindset How to reconnect with your body The benefit of body-based practices for supporting nervous system regulation    What is womb wisdom?

In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Jay Campbell, best known for being the testosterone replacement therapy guru shares his two-decade plus journey into the world of peptides and hormone replacement therapy and how these compounds have transformed not just physique and fat loss, but metabolic health and longevity.  This conversation goes far beyond weight loss headlines and dives into the mental benefit side of health optimization. **We get real in this episode and there's some swear words so if you're listening with kiddos around listen with caution** What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why GLP peptides are reshaping obesity treatment The power of microdosing peptides, especially GLP-1's, for sustainable results Why education is the missing link for both clinicians and patients Injectable vs oral peptides — what actually works The role of lifestyle optimization alongside peptide therapy How misinformation (and AI amplification) is distorting public perception The humanitarian mission to make peptide therapies more accessible Peptides Are a Tool — Not a Shortcut Jay emphasizes that GLP peptides can dramatically improve metabolic health but without lifestyle changes, long-term success is limited. For those who want to stay active and adventure-ready, peptides may: Improve insulin sensitivity Reduce inflammation Support fat loss Enhance recovery But they are meant to amplify effort, not replace it.   Microdosing Changes the Game One of the most powerful strategies discussed is microdosing. Rather than high-dose protocols aimed purely at appetite suppression, strategic lower dosing can: Preserve muscle mass Reduce side effects Improve metabolic flexibility Support long-term sustainability This is particularly important for athletic or active adults who don't want to lose performance while improving body composition.   Injectable > Oral Jay explains why injectable peptides remain the gold standard due to bioavailability and effectiveness. Understanding delivery method matters especially for those investing in advanced health strategies.   The Future of Obesity Treatment We're entering an era where next-generation GLP and triple-agonist peptides are transforming how we address: Insulin resistance Chronic inflammation Fat loss resistance Metabolic disease But access, education, and responsible use are critical and why Jay and I do podcasts like this!   Health Optimization as a Spiritual Practice One of the most compelling parts of the conversation: When you optimize your biology, you elevate your capacity; physically, mentally, and spiritually. Health isn't vanity. It's vitality. It's freedom. It's staying in the game.   Resources From The Show: Jay's Website - https://jaycampbell.com/ Jay's Peptide Company - https://biolongevitylabs.com/ Jay's New Book - Metabolic Awakening with GLP-1 Peptides Dr. J's March 18th, 2026 Workshop: 5:30p PST/7:30p CST (register to get the replay if you can't make it live) - The Art of Staying Your Sport or Hobby and Being Adventure Ready at Any Age

Health and Fitness with ErinHormone shifts in your late 30s and 40s are not random and you are not broken. From belly fat and sleep issues to inflammation and mood swings, perimenopause can last over a decade. Most women are told “everything looks normal,” while feeling anything but normal.​​Years of under-eating, overtraining, and weekend overeating can disrupt hormones more than we realize. HRT can be a powerful tool, but it works best when paired with proper fueling, strength training, and stress management. Eating enough protein, healthy fats, and fiber consistently can change everything.​​You can eat more, build muscle, balance hormones, and feel strong again in midlife.​​Your body isn't fighting you, it's responding.​​​Connect with Erin: www.8wellnesscollective.com​MOMnation: www.direct.me/momnationaz​​​#PerimenopauseSupport #HormoneHealth #WomensWellness

Welcome to Resiliency Radio with Dr. Jill Carnahan, where today's episode explores the powerful and transformative season of midlife—a time of hormonal shifts, identity changes, and profound personal reinvention. Dr. Jill is joined by Dr. Trevor Cates, bestselling author and pioneer in women's health, for an inspiring conversation about navigating perimenopause, purpose, and the courage to evolve. In this episode, Dr. Jill Carnahan and Dr. Cates discuss why midlife isn't a crisis—it's a reset. From hormonal fluctuations and metabolic changes to deeper emotional awakenings, this phase often acts as a "stress test," revealing what's no longer aligned in our health, work, and relationships. This conversation is for women who feel called to something more—more energy, more authenticity, more purpose—and want practical, holistic strategies to support both physical and emotional transformation. ✨ Like, subscribe, and share to help more women embrace midlife as a powerful new beginning.

If you feel tired but wired, struggle with hormone imbalances, poor sleep, blood sugar crashes, or stubborn symptoms, the issue may not be what you're eating, but when. Your circadian rhythm is the master system coordinating your hormones, metabolism, digestion, and nervous system. In this episode, we break down circadian rhythm in a practical, real-life way. This isn't just about sleep. It's about how your body knows what time it is and what it should be doing. We cover how light, food timing, and movement act as biological signals for cortisol, melatonin, thyroid function, mitochondrial health, and even hormone production. We also dive into why poor sleep, PMDD, irregular cycles, afternoon crashes, and even skin flare-ups may stem from circadian disruption. If you've been focusing on supplements, elimination diets, or protocols without seeing results, this episode will show you the foundational layer you might be missing.   What You'll Learn In this episode, we discuss: What circadian rhythm actually is (and why every cell has a 24-hour clock) How cortisol and melatonin should rise and fall naturally The difference between sunrise, UVA rise, and UVB light How circadian rhythm impacts thyroid hormone conversion (T4 to T3) Simple habits to support sleep, metabolism, and nervous system regulation   Chapters 00:00 – Why circadian rhythm impacts hormones & sleep 04:14 – Every cell runs on a 24-hour clock 09:44 – Cortisol timing, digestion & metabolism explained 14:23 – Sunrise: the master reset signal 20:53 – UVA rise & hormone production (pregnenolone, thyroid, insulin) 27:45 – Sunset & melatonin preparation 32:18 – The role of food timing in circadian rhythm 35:29 – Vitamin D vs. melatonin (seasonal shifts explained) 39:09 – Movement timing & workouts 41:36 – Signs your circadian rhythm is off 45:55 – Practical habits you can implement immediately   Resources & Mentions My Circadian App Circadian Rhythm Resource Blue Light Glasses Circadian Lighting How to Turn Your iPhone Red   Want to Work With Us?

For most of the past century, more women than men have died from cardiovascular disease. Yet, heart disease is still widely perceived as a male problem.  That's why in this episode, we dive into why cardiovascular and metabolic health are essential for women, especially in midlife, and why education is your greatest tool.  You'll gain the confidence to advocate for yourself and make informed decisions about your long-term health. I'll also be sharing my favorite simple habits to kickstart your metabolism, protect your heart, and boost your everyday energy.  Remember, it never has to be perfect—consistency builds momentum, and that's where real change begins.  Tune in here to gain key insight and prioritize yourself and your longevity!

Not breast cancer, not ovarian cancer. All cancers combined. And what's even more alarming for most women, the warning signs begin years- sometimes decades- before a heart attack or stroke ever happens.”  “Research shows that insulin resistance is a primary driver of cardio metabolic disease in women, especially after menopause.” “You do not need perfection. You need 7,000 steps per day, walking after meals, fewer long sitting stretches. Get up and move your butt, even if it means walking around your house or going around the block. Start building your life around movement.

What if perimenopause isn't a breakdown… but a biological upgrade? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Dr. Maritza Snyder to dismantle one of the most damaging narratives women have inherited: that midlife marks decline. Dr. Maritza reframes perimenopause as a powerful remodel. A hormonal recalibration that, when understood and supported, can lead to deeper clarity, stronger boundaries, sharper cognition, and expanded vitality. They explore: Why perimenopause is not “pre-menopause” in the way we've been taught What's happening in the brain and nervous system during this transition How stress physiology impacts symptoms The connection between hormones, identity, and purpose Why this chapter can feel like an initiation rather than an ending Dr. Maritza also shares her personal healing journey after a concussion forced her to radically reimagine her health, and how envisioning her future healthy self became the turning point in her recovery. This conversation is both science-based and soul-based. Practical and empowering.

In this episode, I sit down with Nikolina Lauc, CEO and Co-Founder of GlycanAge, and we dive into a questions that should stop every midlife woman in her tracks: is menopause actually accelerating your biological aging? What if the shift from perimenopause to menopause could age you up to nine years in just six months? And more importantly, what can you do about it? We unpack what biological age really means (and why it's not the same as your chronological age), how inflammation quietly drives aging and disease, and why estrogen may be one of the most powerful longevity tools we have. Is HRT just symptom relief, or is it actually protecting your future health? And why are so many women still being told to "just wait it out"? I also share my own GlycanAge results and what they revealed about my cardiovascular risk and immune aging. Can you actually reverse your biological age? How early can we detect risk for heart disease or other chronic conditions? And how much of this is in your control? This conversation might completely change how you think about aging in midlife. In this episode, we uncover: How menopause can accelerate biological aging dramatically. Why estrogen plays a critical role in immune and heart health. What biological age really measures beyond just your birthdate. How glycan testing detects disease risk years before symptoms. Why HRT may be able to reduce all-cause mortality by 40%.

In this solo episode, Dr. Taz breaks down why bro science and modern biohacking culture often backfire for women, and how pushing harder, optimizing more, and chasing protocols can quietly drive hormone chaos, burnout, inflammation, and nervous system dysregulation. She explains why so many women are told their labs are “normal” while their bodies are clearly signaling that something is off, and how medical models that isolate symptoms fail to capture how women's systems actually work.This episode is rooted in the same clinical patterns that led Dr. Taz to writeThe Hormone Shift. After years of watching women come into her practice exhausted, inflamed, and dismissed by conventional care, she began documenting the repeating cycles she saw across life stages, from teens to perimenopause to post-menopause. You'll learn why women were historically excluded from research, how that gap still shapes today's treatment models, and why intensity, calorie restriction, and rigid optimization strategies may worsen hormonal imbalance, metabolic stress, and emotional exhaustion in female bodies. This episode reframes women's health as a whole-body system, not a protocol stack, and explores why safety, rhythm, recovery, and regulation matter more than force.This conversation reframes healing as a process of supporting interconnected systems, not overriding them. Hormones, gut health, immune function, nervous system regulation, emotional safety, stress load, and life stage are not separate variables. When these systems fall out of sync, symptoms multiply. When they are supported together, the body can restore balance, energy, and resilience.Dr. Taz shares: • Why bro science and biohacking trends often backfire for women • How “normal labs” can still mean your body is not functioning optimally • Why women's bodies were historically excluded from research and how that impacts care today • How pushing harder, restricting calories, and overtraining disrupt hormones and metabolism • Why women's nervous systems require safety, rhythm, and recovery to heal • How stress physiology, trauma patterns, and life stage shape women's health outcomes • Why hormones don't act in isolation, but communicate with the gut, immune system, and brain • Where modern tools like HRT, GLP-1s, peptides, and protocols fit and where they fall short • How to build a sustainable, personalized approach to women's health that works with the body, not against itWhether you're feeling dismissed by your labs, burned out from trying every new wellness trend, or frustrated by protocols that seem to work for others but not for you, this episode offers a grounded, integrative framework for understanding what women's bodies actually need.Women don't heal through force. They heal through safety, rhythm, and whole-system support.Stay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/- Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsGet your copy of The Hormone Shift: Balance Your Body and Thrive Through Midlife and MenopauseHost & Production TeamHost: Dr. Taz; Produced by ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)Chapters0:00 Women told it's “normal” and “in your head” 1:13 Holistic approach and the “five bodies” 1:25 Why Dr. Taz is done with “bro science” 4:25 “Your labs are normal” and the dismissal problem 5:20 Why biohacking culture worsens women's health 6:10 HRT, IVF, peptides, GLP-1s without a holistic context 8:18 Why AI and protocols can't replace the whole-woman lens 9:01 What bro science gets wrong (intensity, restriction, isolated hormones) 10:31 Life stage, stress load, nervous system, trauma, lineage 11:45 Bias against women and what it means in the exam room 13:28 Why “evidence-based” fails women when studies exclude women 14:20 What “evidence-based holistic medicine” actually means 16:19 Stats on women's health disparities and research gaps 17:55 Where are you on the health spectrum: powering through vs powering up 18:21 Identify your biggest symptom and quality-of-life limiter 20:00 Don't let “normal labs” end the story, track patterns over time 21:10 Female stress response, intuition, and cortisol sensitivity 24:15 Hormones, gut, immune system triangle and inflammation 27:00 Stress processing differences and guardrails 28:15 Safety as the foundation of women's health 30:10 Women's rhythms: hormones, sleep, food, nervous system 32:50 A woman's body doesn't respond to force 34:25 What holistic healing for women actually looks like 35:39 Closing: share this with a woman who needs it (00:00) - Women told it's “normal” and “in your head” (01:13) - Holistic approach and the “five bodies” (01:25) - Why Dr. Taz is done with “bro science” (04:25) - “Your labs are normal” and the dismissal problem (05:20) - Why biohacking culture worsens women's health (06:10) - HRT, IVF, peptides, GLP-1s without a holistic context (08:18) - Why AI and protocols can't replace the whole-woman lens (09:01) - What bro science gets wrong (intensity, restriction, isolated h...

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron discusses the complexities of hormonal imbalances, particularly in women experiencing perimenopause. She emphasizes that while hormones play a significant role in various symptoms, lifestyle factors such as chronic stress, self-criticism, and lack of boundaries are often overlooked.  Ali explains how the nervous system's state can impact overall health, digestion, and emotional well-being. She advocates for a holistic approach to healing that includes understanding the nervous system, managing stress, and practicing self-compassion. The conversation concludes with practical strategies for improving health and well-being. Takeaways Many women blame their hormones for various symptoms. Lifestyle factors often contribute more to hormonal issues than hormones themselves. Chronic stress can lead to a state of fight-or-flight, affecting overall health. The nervous system plays a crucial role in digestion and hormone regulation. Self-compassion is essential for managing stress and improving health. Healing the nervous system involves doing less, not more. Creating a sense of safety in life can improve health outcomes. Practical strategies for stress management can enhance well-being. Understanding the connection between stress and physical symptoms is vital. Consulting with a healthcare provider can help address unique health concerns.  sound bites "My hormones are a mess!"

Why do so many women feel exhausted, dismissed, or confused about their health? Why are painful periods, chronic fatigue, and burnout so often labeled “normal”? And how did women’s hormones go so long without being properly studied? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with integrative medicine doctor and hormone expert Dr. Amy Shah for an honest, grounding conversation about women’s hormones, stress, and the gaps in modern healthcare. Together, they explore why so many women struggle to get real answers, how stress and cortisol quietly shape our health, and what it actually means to support hormones in a sustainable way. From period pain and hormone testing to gut health, nutrition, perimenopause, and burnout, this episode breaks down complex science into language that feels accessible, validating, and empowering. Dr. Shah shares why there is no single “magic fix” for hormone balance—and why listening to your body, supporting your nervous system, and nourishing your gut can make a meaningful difference over time. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why many hormone tests don’t reflect what women are actually experiencing Which symptoms women are taught to ignore—but shouldn’t How stress and cortisol affect women differently than men Why gut health and nutrition play a major role in hormone balance What actually helps support hormones without extreme diets or trends This conversation isn’t about quick fixes or perfection—it’s about understanding your body, questioning what you’ve been taught to tolerate, and learning how to support your health with more awareness and compassion.

Hormone balance is not a supplement problem, but a foundation problem. In this episode, Dr. Jen speaks with Dr. Serena Russum and Dr. Heidi Codino, The Hormone Heroines, about how food quality, fiber, protein, sleep, stress, detox pathways, and endocrine disruptors can quietly derail hormones from puberty through menopause, and why ‘quick fix' hormone plans can backfire when the basics are missing.Dr. Jen speaks with the Hormone Heroines,  Dr. Serena Russum and Dr. Heidi Codino, about hormone balance, nutrition foundations, endocrine disruptors, sleep, stress, gut health, and why lifestyle comes before supplements or hormone therapy.Dr. Serena Russum and Dr. Heidi Codino, Hormone Heroines, are naturopathic physicians and award-winning speakers specializing in women's health from puberty through menopause.

If your tongue could talk, it would tell you it affects far more than speech — from sleep quality and hormones to jaw development and restless kids. In this episode I interviewed Kristi Dobbs, a dental hygienist and myofunctional therapist from Roberts Integrative Dentistry, about how oral posture, nasal breathing, tongue-tie releases, and simple device and exercise-based therapies can transform sleep, behavior, pain, and overall health.What myofunctional therapy is: muscle-focused therapy for the face, tongue, jaw, and soft palate (like physical therapy for the neck up).Some modern lifestyle contributors to poor jaw development: softer diets, early solids/formula, early tooth removal and braces timing.Common signs linked to oral function problems: narrow palate, long face, gummy smile, mouth-breathing, snoring, TMJ, speech issues, picky eating, digestive problems, plantar fasciitis.The four pillars of myofunctional therapy: nasal breathing, lip seal, correct tongue posture, and proper swallowing.Device options: MyoMunchie (from ~6 months), Myobrace, Myo nozzle/Remplenish, and Invisalign palatal expansion when needed.Tongue-tie approach: pre- and post- myofunctional therapy plus a laser release and suturing to optimize outcomes and retrain function.Timing and commitment: therapy typically runs 12 sessions over ~6 months; results improve with ongoing maintenance exercises but require occasional practice to retain gains.Integration with other therapies: best results come when myofunctional therapy is combined with ENT, SLP, chiropractic, massage/lymphatic work, orthodontics, and other integrative providers.Virtual options: evaluations and much of the therapy can be done via telehealth; surgical procedures require an in-person provider.Contact Kristi Dobbs and Roberts Integrative Dentistry:Myofunctional Therapy Info: https://robertsintegrativedentistry.com/oral-myofunctional-therapy/Roberts Integrative Dentistry Phone and Email:  (417) 246-3029 and office@robertsintegrativedentistry.comMyofunctional Therapy can be performed virtually.Signs and symptoms of disordered breathing: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/#inbox/FMfcgzQfBkQwSbXXmnqckwjRmgSCfkTp?projector=1&messagePartId=0.1New Resource: Breast Health Guide - dailywellnesscommunity.com/breast-health-guide→ Please take 1 minute to show your support of the show!  Apple Podcasts: Sign in and scroll to the bottom to review!https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/daily-wellness-podcast/id1651051841Spotify: Leave a rating and follow the show!

Are you struggling with unpredictable hunger or skipping breakfast because you don't feel hungry? In this episode, we explore why balancing your hunger signals is crucial for hormonal health, muscle preservation, and overall wellness. Skipping breakfast can throw your cortisol levels off balance, especially for middle-aged women, leading to fat storage, poor metabolism, and brain fog. We'll share why protein-rich breakfasts paired with gentle carbs can stabilize your hormones, improve blood sugar regulation, and set you up for better meals all day long. You'll also learn how common "dumb meals," like pasta without enough protein or traditional Mac and cheese, can cause blood sugar spikes, shakes, and nausea. Discover smart meal swaps using protein-enriched pastas and a healthier take on mac and cheese that includes cottage cheese and nutritional yeast. We touch on the importance of strength training to maintain muscle and appetite and offer compassionate advice for those facing complex hunger issues. Whether you're new or experienced with managing hunger and hormones, these practical tips will help you create lasting, balanced eating habits.

Send a textIn this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with double board-certified dermatologist Dr. Sabrina Fabi to examine how hormonal signaling actively shapes skin resilience, recovery, and structural integrity. This conversation moves beyond trend-driven skincare and into the biology that determines how skin functions at every stage of life.Dr. Fabi emphasizes that skin constantly responds to hormonal shifts. Changes in progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, and neurohormones influence collagen production, barrier strength, inflammation, muscle tone, and healing capacity. Aging reflects signaling patterns — not just the passage of time. When hormones fluctuate, skin behavior changes.A central focus of the discussion is oxytocin. While most people associate oxytocin with bonding and mood, Dr. Fabi explains that skin contains oxytocin receptors that participate in local repair and inflammatory signaling. That neuroendocrine connection reframes how we think about resilience. The brain and skin communicate continuously, and hormonal signaling drives that dialogue.Dr. Fabi applies this signaling-first framework directly through XOMD. Instead of topically applying exogenous hormones, she built XOMD around activating intrinsic pathways that support recovery and tissue strength. The focus remains on optimizing communication within the skin rather than overwhelming it with isolated actives.Throughout the episode, she challenges casual aesthetic culture and reinforces the importance of individualized, long-term planning. Hormones shape anatomy, metabolism, and tissue quality — treatment strategies must reflect that complexity.Listen to the full episode to hear Dr. Sabrina Fabi break down hormonal biology, oxytocin science, and how XOMD advances a more intelligent approach to skin resilience.SHOP XOMD SkincareDon't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show

What if your hormone imbalance is not just a hormone problem, but a nervous system and emotional overload problem?  In this episode of The Ben Azadi Show, Ben Azadi welcomes back Dr. Sonya Jensen to explore why so many women feel puffy, inflamed, exhausted, and hormonally off even when labs look “normal.” Dr. Jensen connects inflammation, cortisol, progesterone depletion, estrogen dominance, and liver support with the deeper layers most people miss: stress patterns, identity roles, generational stories, and the constant input from news and social media. They also dive into her new book, Heal Your Hormones, Reclaim Yourself, plus practical tools like breathwork, red light, seasonal whole foods, and gentle nervous system regulation. Key Topics Covered Why hormone symptoms can reflect emotional and relational overload Nervous system dysregulation, cortisol, adrenaline, and progesterone depletion How chronic stress can create a bigger estrogen to progesterone imbalance Why blood work can look normal while you still feel off Urine hormone metabolite testing and what it can reveal about detox pathways Breathwork for lowering cortisol and shifting into rest at night Red light as a nervous system tool, especially in the evening Liver support for inflammation and hormone clearance (milk thistle, turmeric) Calming herbs: ashwagandha, lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), skullcap, ziziphus Whole foods and seasonal eating, including “the season of life” concept Movement without overtraining, including walking and habit stacking HRV as a helpful metric, plus the importance of listening to your body How doom scrolling impacts dopamine, oxytocin, and your sense of safety Mitochondria, maternal stress patterns, and inherited nervous system wiring Dopamine as motivation and joy, and oxytocin as bonding and connection Resources Mentioned Dr. Sonya Jensen Website: https://www.drsonyajensen.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsonyajensen/?hl=en Book Heal Your Hormones, Reclaim Yourself: https://healyourhormonesbook.com Follow Ben Azadi
