The Deep Theology of Sexual Unity (With Some Fun!): Interview with Randy and Rozanne Frazee You're not just trying to survive another week. You're not just trying to get the kids fed, keep the peace, and hold your marriage together with duct tape and prayers. You're living inside a bigger story—whether you realize it or not. When you start seeing your marriage through God's storyline instead of just your stress and circumstances, something shifts. Not overnight. Not magically. But deeply. Steadily. For real. And that's exactly what Randy and Rozanne Frazee unpacked in today's episode. In this episode, you're getting a conversation that is both wildly profound and surprisingly fun. Because yes—you can talk about theology, the Trinity, the image of God, and sexual unity… and still laugh. And that's exactly what happens when you sit down with Randy and Rozanne. They've spent decades helping believers understand the Bible not as scattered verses—but as one cohesive story of God's love and pursuit. Randy has been a pastor for 38 years and had a personal mentoring relationship with Dallas Willard—so much so that Dallas asked him to rewrite Renovation of the Heart for students. And Randy and Rozanne are not just brilliant—they're the real deal. High school sweethearts, married 44 years (going on 45), four kids, and now five grandbabies in the mix. What makes this episode so special is this: They don't just talk about the Bible. They talk about how the Bible transforms marriage, unity, and yes… even your sex life. You Keep Reading the Bible Like a Reference Book… But It's Actually a Love Story You've probably been taught to read the Bible in pieces: a Proverb for wisdom a Psalm for comfort a verse for anxiety a passage when your marriage is hard And those are good. But if you only ever grab the Bible for a quick fix, you can miss the whole point: it's one grand love story—from Genesis to Revelation—about the lengths God will go to get you back. When you start seeing Scripture as one unfolding narrative, you stop reading it like a scattered collection of morals… and you start hearing it like a steady message: God is pursuing you. God is restoring you. God is rewriting what sin tried to destroy. And yes—this includes your marriage. You're Not Just Living a Life… You're Living a Story You live in what Randy and Rozanne call the "lower story": Lunches. Laundry. Bills. Hormones. Conversations you're avoiding. Tension you can't name. The ache of feeling alone, even though you're married. And it's real. But there's also an "upper story" happening at the same time: God's bigger plan, God's spiritual reality, God's redemptive work that you can't always see while you're in the middle of the mess. You see it clearly in Scripture: Job experiences devastating loss in his lower story… while an unseen spiritual battle is happening in the upper story. Joseph is betrayed, enslaved, and forgotten in his lower story… but God is positioning him in the upper story to preserve His people. That's why Joseph can say, "What you meant for evil, God meant for good." It doesn't mean the lower story didn't hurt. It means the pain wasn't the point. So ask yourself: What if the hard thing you're living through right now isn't proof you're failing… but proof God is working? God Created Marriage to Reflect His Image—and Sin Has Been Trying to Ruin It Ever Since You've heard the phrase "two become one." But you might not realize how sacred that actually is. Marriage wasn't just meant to be companionship. It was meant to reflect something divine: unity, love, covenant, oneness. In the beginning, God says, "It is not good for man to be alone." And you can read that like, "Aw, God wanted Adam to have a friend." But it's deeper. God Himself is relationship—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Not isolated. Not independent. Not self-focused. Unity. So when God creates marriage, He's not just giving Adam a partner. He's giving humanity a living picture of His image. And that's why the enemy attacks it so relentlessly. Because if your marriage reflects God's love, covenant, and unity… it becomes a threat to darkness. You Can Know Scripture… and Still Not Live It One of the most powerful themes Randy and Rozanne address is something you've probably seen too: You've met people who know the Bible. They can quote verses. They can correct theology. They can debate Greek words. And yet… They aren't gentle. They aren't kind. They aren't tender. And you're left thinking: How can someone love God's Word and still not look like Jesus? Randy explains this through something he learned from Dallas. He describes the difference between: believing something is the "right answer" versus believing it as a "way of life" And this matters for your marriage, because it's the difference between: knowing what love is supposed to look like and actually becoming the kind of person who naturally loves well The "12-Inch Journey" That Changes Everything Randy talks about the journey from: Head knowledge → Heart transformation And he explains it in a way that lands: When Jesus says, "Turn the other cheek," He isn't just commanding you to grit your teeth and try harder. He's describing what becomes natural when your heart has been reshaped. And that is what every marriage needs. Not just more information, but more transformation. Sexual Unity Isn't Just Physical… It's Theological If you've ever wondered why marriage feels so sacred—and so fiercely contested—this is why. Lean in, because this is where things get breathtaking. Randy explains the concept that: God is three Persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) who share one Being And marriage—two becoming one—is meant to reflect that kind of unity. Not perfectly. Not as God. But as an earthly image. And Rozanne brings it back to the practical: Sexual intimacy bonds you in a way nothing else does. It is not "just physical." It is a sacred expression of covenant oneness. And when you treat your spouse like an "other" instead of part of your own being… You start wounding your marriage from the inside. You Don't Need Your Husband to Be a Seminary Graduate to Be a Spiritual Leader If you're a wife reading this, you may be carrying a burden you were never meant to carry: "I'm the one who prays." "I'm the one who gets us to church." "I'm the one trying to get him to lead." "I'm exhausted." And if you're a husband reading this, you may feel stuck too: "She knows more than I do." "I don't even know where to start." "I work hard, but I still feel like I'm failing." Here's something freeing: Spiritual leadership isn't about being the most impressive. It's about being the one who initiates. The leader is the starter. The one who creates space where spiritual thriving can happen. That might look like: "Hey, let's read something together for 15 minutes." "Let's pray before dinner." "We're going to church as a family." "I want God in our home, and I want to learn." That's leadership. And yes—your wife might know more Scripture right now. But what she's been longing for isn't your performance. It's your presence. Your courage. Your initiation. If You Want Him to Rise, Stop Coaching His Weakness and Start Naming His Strength This is where it gets tender. Because if you're honest, you've probably tried to motivate him with disappointment. You've tried to push him into leadership by pointing out everything he's not doing. You want to feel safe. You want to feel supported. You want to be led. But here's something you need to understand about men: Men move toward competency, not incompetency. If you highlight his failure, he retreats. If you honor his effort, he leans in. So if he makes even a small move—don't critique it. Celebrate it. If he picks up a Bible, don't correct how he reads it. If he prays, don't edit his words afterward. If he initiates church, don't mention that it's "about time." Instead, try this: "Thank you. That meant a lot." "I feel cared for when you do that." "I'm grateful you're leading our family." This isn't fake flattery. It's faith. It's calling out the man you want him to become—while giving him a reason to keep going. Your Intimacy Will Not Heal If You Keep Avoiding the Scariest Conversations One of the enemy's favorite strategies is fear—specifically fear that keeps you from talking honestly about intimacy. You live with this person. You share a bed. You share a home. So why does it feel terrifying to say what you want? What you need? What hurts? What you're longing for? Because intimacy is powerful. And the enemy knows if he can keep you silent, he can keep you disconnected. But if you can learn to speak with tenderness, honesty, and safety… You can rebuild something beautiful. And here's the truth: Sex isn't dirty. It's sacred. It's a physical expression of covenant oneness. And when joy rises in your relationship, romance often rises too. Not because you force it. But because safety creates desire. And desire grows where connection is nurtured. You Don't Need Two Hours a Day. You Need One Small Step of Obedience. You might be thinking, "Okay… but I'm tired. Our life is chaotic. Where do we even begin?" Begin small. Set a timer. Fifteen minutes. That's it. Obedience comes before blessing. And when you take one small step toward God together, it does something inside you. It starts moving belief from your head to your heart—where real transformation happens. Little by little, fruit grows. And fruit isn't for the tree. Fruit is for the person who tastes it. Which means: your spiritual growth is meant to bless your spouse. Your Next Step: See the Bible as One Story (Not a Scavenger Hunt) Randy and Rozanne recently released a book called Encountering God's Love: From Genesis to Revelation. And their heart behind it is simple: Most believers don't struggle because they don't love God. They struggle because they don't understand the storyline. They know verses… but not the narrative. So this book is designed as 52 weeks of bite-sized pieces, walking you through Scripture chronologically, helping you see: God's story your story and how your marriage fits into redemption And yes—this is something you can do as a couple. Even if you're exhausted. Even if you're busy. Even if you feel behind. Final Encouragement Your marriage isn't just a relationship you manage. It's a covenant you steward. And if you've been living like the lower story is all there is—God is inviting you to look up. He's writing something. Even here. Even now. Even in your marriage. So take a breath. Ask Him what He's doing in the upper story. And take the next step. Because your story isn't over. And God is very, very good at bringing dead things back to life. Including you. Including your spouse. Including your intimacy. Including your marriage. Blessings, The Delight Your Marriage Team PS - Want to check out Encountering God's Love for yourself?

PPPS - Here is a quote from a recent graduate: "The atmosphere in our home was very toxic with lots of hollering and hurtful things said. There was no fun or joy. We were just existing.  This affected my thought life as I was very disappointed in myself and felt like I was a hypocrite as I am a leader in our local church and lots of people look up to me.  I felt like God was even disappointed in me.  I felt shame for not being a good wife...[Now,] I have become more aware of my actions and reactions to my husband, and realized I have the power, with God's help, to make our marriage good and to love my husband well.  The tools I have learned in DW will forever be in and on my mind as I focus on becoming the wife God desires me to be.  I have learned that sex is good and holy and also meant to be pleasurable for me!  The atmosphere in our home is changing and playfulness is back!"

This episode might sting a little—but it's exactly what you need to hear if your content isn't converting. In today's episode, I break down why saying "I help women" is one of the biggest mistakes coaches make in their messaging—and how that single phrase is quietly costing you clients, clarity, and confidence in your offers. This isn't about being lazy as a human. It's about playing it safe in your marketing because specificity feels scary. And I'm here to tell you the truth: vague messaging doesn't feel safe to your buyer—it feels unclear. And people don't buy when they're confused. If you want warmer DMs, clearer content, and offers that actually make sense, this episode will help you fix your messaging fast. 1. Why "I Help Women" Is Lazy Marketing (And Why Coaches Use It) When you say "I help women," what your audience actually hears is: I help everyone. And when you help everyone, no one knows if you mean them. Most coaches do this because they're afraid to: Pick the wrong niche Exclude people Be judged Commit to something specific Generic feels safe—but it kills clarity. 2. The Market Pays Specialists, Not Generalists Specialists aren't paid more because they're smarter. They're paid more because they're easier to trust. Different women = different problems = different language, offers, outcomes, and content. When you lump them all together, your audience is forced to guess—and people don't buy when they're guessing. 3. Stop Marketing the Category—Start Marketing the Moment "I help women with hormones" is still too broad. Hormones could mean: PCOS Fertility Perimenopause Menopause Thyroid Cortisol Estrogen dominance The niche isn't the category. The niche is the moment someone is living in right now. 4. The Sentence That Changes Everything Instead of: "I help women" Use this formula: I help [specific person] who is struggling with [specific problem] get [specific result] without [thing they've already tried or hate]. This is what makes someone say: Oh my God, that's me. 5. Why Specific Messaging Is Magnetic (Not Limiting) Specific messaging doesn't push people away. It pulls the right people in. Your content should feel like a mirror—not a motivational poster. If someone says, "That's kind of me," you lose. If they say, "That is me," you win. 6. Pick One Lane (Without Making It Permanent) You are not marrying your niche—you're dating it. Pick one lane for 90 days: One life stage One main problem One desired outcome Build content. Create one offer. Get feedback. Then adjust. Clarity comes from action—not overthinking.

Increased rates of cancer, infertility, and elevated levels of estrogen

A listener reached out after watching her mother struggle from a lack of estrogen—and it opened a much bigger conversation about hormones, menopause, and how we respond to change in the body. This episode isn't about fixing what's broken or chasing youth. It's about gaining clarity—understanding what hormones actually are, why there is so much confusion around hormone replacement, and how we can think wisely about care for the body in seasons of transition. Together, we hold biology and theology without fear or extremes. Alisa walks through what hormones are at their most basic level—chemical messengers in the body—and why shifts are a normal part of being human in a broken world. Today's focus is on the female big three: estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, and how their levels typically peak in our 20s to mid-30s before changing over time. A key theme in this episode is the difference between restorative and resistive approaches to medicine. Rather than striving to reverse time or fight the body, Alisa invites you to consider what it means to restore, support, and reduce inflammation—especially when fear and uncertainty drive many decisions around hormones and menopause. Alisa also shares from her own experience, while offering an important reminder: she is not a medical professional, and this episode is not medical advice. Instead, it's an invitation to thoughtful discernment, curiosity, and peace as you consider how to steward your body well. In this episode, you'll hear about: Why hormones and hormone replacement are so confusing What hormones are and how they function as messengers in the body The female big three: estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone Why hormone levels shift after the mid-30s The role of inflammation in hormonal health Restorative vs. resistive medicine—and why the distinction matters This conversation is an invitation to greater clarity, discernment, and peace in how we steward our bodies in seasons of change.

Block Therapy, Fascia & Flow: Why Your Body Can't Heal What It Can't Release with Deanna Hansen What if your pain, stiffness, poor recovery, hormone resistance, or "mystery inflammation" isn't coming from weak muscles, aging joints, or overtraining—but from dehydrated, compressed fascia? In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, I'm joined by Deanna Hansen, creator of Block Therapy®, to unpack the missing link in healing, performance, and longevity: your fascial system. Fascia is not just connective tissue—it's a sensory organ, communication highway, and drainage system. And when it becomes compressed from stress, repetitive training, injuries, sitting, or breath restriction, everything downstream suffers. That includes: Lymphatic flow Circulation and oxygen delivery Hormone signaling Nervous system regulation Detox and waste removal Pain-free movement and recovery In true FLOW Foundation™ fashion, we explore why you can't "train harder" or supplement your way out of a body that can't move, hydrate, and release. In this episode, we cover: What fascia really is—and why it's not passive tissue How chronic stress, endurance training, and aging compress fascia Why lymph has no pump (and how fascia is the pump) The connection between fascia, breath, vagal tone, and inflammation How Block Therapy® helps rehydrate tissues and restore flow Why aggressive workouts, detoxes, and even HRT can backfire when fascia is stuck How gentle, intentional decompression prepares your body to adapt, heal, and perform Why this matters for high performers and aging athletes: If you're: Doing "all the right things" but not seeing results Struggling with lingering pain, stiffness, or slow recovery Feeling inflamed, puffy, tight, or restricted Sensitive to supplements, training, or hormone therapies This conversation may completely change how you approach your health. Because nothing detoxes, heals, or adapts if it can't move first.

What if one of the most powerful tools for gut healing, immune resilience, and hormone balance has been hiding in plain sight? In this episode of The Hormone Genius Podcast, we're joined by Erica Diepersloot, co-founder of WonderCow Colostrum, to dive deep into the science and real-world benefits of bovine colostrum — a functional food that's quickly gaining attention in the gut-health and hormone space. Colostrum is the nutrient-dense “first milk” produced after birth, rich in immunoglobulins, growth factors, lactoferrin, and bioactive compounds that support intestinal repair and immune regulation. Erica breaks down why this ancestral superfood is having a modern comeback — and how it can be especially impactful for women dealing with gut dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and hormone imbalances. In this conversation, we explore: How gut health directly influences hormones, including cortisol, estrogen metabolism, and immune-driven inflammation The role of colostrum in supporting the gut lining, microbiome balance, and immune cell signaling Emerging research showing colostrum's effects on immune response, including studies examining how bovine colostrum influences immune cells when exposed to bacterial stressors Why colostrum may be beneficial for conditions like SIBO, infectious diarrhea, and gut permeability, based on in-vitro and clinical research How colostrum works differently than probiotics, and why it may help create a healthier environment for beneficial bacteria to thrive Erica also shares insights from published research highlighted through PubMed/NIH and peer-reviewed journals, including studies on colostrum's interaction with the microbiome and its protective effects against bacterial-induced intestinal damage. Whether you're navigating hormone imbalance, stubborn gut symptoms, or simply looking to strengthen your immune foundation, this episode offers a grounded, science-forward look at why colostrum is becoming a staple in functional health.

She also shares the surprising story of how Maria Shriver personally asked her to write the book, plus tips on building your own health manifesto, starting with asking better questions, tracking your symptoms, and choosing a provider who actually listens.Episodes Here Meghan: New Rules at Women's Health | IGMentioned: Healing with Whole Foods Maria Shriver Ladder App Say Hi To Elizabeth and Purely Elizabeth: Website | Instagram 

In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with the Hormone Heroines, Dr. Serena Russum and Dr. Heidi Codino, to unpack what women actually need to thrive hormonally from puberty through menopause and beyond. Dr. Serena and Dr. Heidi are award-winning speakers and nationally recognized experts in women's health, with extensive training in longevity medicine, hormonal health, peptides, and BHRT. Their passion lies in helping women address root causes, not just symptoms, using a holistic functional medicine approach so they can feel strong, energized, and supported at every stage of life. This episode is a must-listen for any woman who wants to build strength, protect her hormones, and age with power instead of burnout. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Muscle Is Medicine—Especially for Women Muscle isn't just about strength or metabolism—it's a hormone-regulating, longevity-protecting organ. Lose muscle, and everything from blood sugar to estrogen balance takes a hit. Protein Timing Matters More Than You Think It's not just how much protein you eat—it's how evenly you spread it throughout the day that determines whether your body can actually build and repair muscle. Estrogen Protects More Than Your Bones Estrogen plays a critical role in muscle recovery, injury prevention, and resilience. Ignoring this connection leaves women vulnerable to pain, plateaus, and faster aging. Longevity Isn't a Supplement—It's a Strategy Yes, tools like Urolithin A can support muscle and brain health—but nutrition, stress management, strength training, and the right practitioner are the real foundation for thriving long-term.   Resources From The Show: Dr. Serena and Heidi's website - https://www.blossominglongevity.com/ Dr. Serena and Heidi's Podcast - Hormone Heroines Supplements we talked about: Urolithin A, CoEnzyme Q10 and Creatine Peptides we mentioned: P21 (brain), BPC 157/TB500 (gut health + aches/pains

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron discusses the challenges many face in their healing journeys, particularly when they feel they are doing everything right but still not seeing results. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the mind-body connection, the dangers of over-optimization, and how tracking health metrics can lead to hypervigilance. Ali encourages listeners to trust their bodies and find balance in their health practices, while also addressing the role of uncertainty in healing. Takeaways Many patients do more than they need to for healing. The brain's perception of danger affects bodily functions. Over-optimization can lead to increased stress and symptoms. Tracking health metrics can shift from helpful to harmful. Hypervigilance can create a cycle of anxiety and symptoms. The body is capable of healing without constant intervention. Trusting your body is crucial for effective healing. Uncertainty is a natural part of the healing process. Less monitoring can lead to better health outcomes. Healing requires a nuanced approach, not a one-size-fits-all solution Sound bites "Our mind and body are not separate." "The body can heal from crazy things." "Data is not the enemy."

Ever feel like your skin is constantly angry at you? Reactive. Stinging. Red for no reason. Like it went from cooperative to completely unpredictable the moment you hit 40? You've probably been told you're just "sensitive now." Maybe you've been diagnosed with rosacea. Maybe you've bought every gentle, fragrance-free product on the market and you're still dealing with irritation. Here's what nobody's telling you: your skin isn't just sensitive. It's inflamed. And there's a huge difference. In this episode, we're diving into something called inflammaging: the chronic, low-grade inflammation that happens in midlife and affects everything from how your skin looks to how it responds to literally every product you put on it. Most skincare approaches completely miss this. They throw more actives at the problem (more vitamin C, more retinol, more acids) which only makes inflamed skin worse. So what's the solution? Turns out, Cleopatra might have been onto something with those legendary milk and honey baths. And no, this isn't about recreating some over-the-top royal spa treatment. It's about understanding why this ritual worked for inflammatory skin and how you can bring that same genius into your own life without needing a palace, a staff, or a dairy farm. In this episode, you'll learn: What inflammaging actually is and why it's wrecking your skin after 40 Why piling on more "anti-aging" products can backfire when your skin is inflamed The anti-inflammatory science behind milk and honey (it's legit) How to create your own weekly ritual that calms your system and gives your skin permission to heal Why this approach works when everything else has failed If you're tired of your skin feeling like it's constantly fighting you, this episode might just change everything.

Are you a mom who feels exhausted, overwhelmed, and mentally drained… even when your baby is sleeping? You are not lazy. You are not broken. And this is not “just motherhood.” In this episode of Nutrition for Mamas, postpartum dietitian and lactation counselor Brooke Miller interviews board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Stefanie Reinald to unpack what burnout in motherhood really looks like, how it differs from postpartum depression and anxiety, and why so many moms feel depleted years after having a baby. We cover: • Signs of mom burnout vs postpartum depression • Why nutrient depletion after pregnancy makes exhaustion worse • Hormone shifts after birth that impact mood, focus, and energy • Iron deficiency, vitamin D, and under-eating postpartum • Why ADHD is often diagnosed after motherhood • The mental load of modern moms • Working moms vs stay at home moms and burnout risk • Why “pushing harder” makes things worse • Simple ways to feel like yourself again without optimizing your life to death Dr. Reinald shares clinical insight from working with thousands of women plus her own experience as a mom of four navigating postpartum mental health, career pressure, and identity loss. If you've ever thought: “I shouldn't feel this tired.” “I used to handle more than this.” “I love my kids but I feel empty.” This episode will change how you see your body, brain, and season of life.

Mitochondria, Metabolism & Modern Medicine   When "Everything Looks Normal"… But You Don't Feel Normal The Cellular Health Conversation Most People Never Get Why Your Energy, Hormones, and Metabolism Start at the Mitochondria   You can be "doing everything right"… and still feel wiped out by 2 p.m.  You can have "normal" labs… and still feel like something is off.    In this episode of Richer Soul, Rocky sits down with Dr. William Haas to explore what modern medicine often misses: cellular dysfunction, mitochondrial health, gut integrity, hormones, toxins, and recovery tools like hyperbaric oxygen—especially for high performers who hit the wall despite clean living.  "Medical school is teaching how to manage disease. And that was a rude awakening."    5 Soul-Level Insights from Dr. William Haas: (This isn't about chasing more hacks. It's about understanding what your body is telling you.)  Mitochondria aren't just "energy." Dr. Haas explains mitochondria produce ATP (your energy currency) and influence inflammation and immune pathways—so mitochondrial dysfunction can ripple into far more than fatigue.  Some "normal" meds can quietly derail cellular performance. He specifically calls out antibiotics like Cipro and Levoquin as "terrible" for mitochondrial health, notes OTC anti-inflammatories can "uncouple" mitochondria, and discusses metformin potentially impacting mitochondria and contributing to B12 deficiency.  Food sensitivities may be a symptom, not the root cause. When people "light up like a Christmas tree" on food sensitivity testing, Dr. Haas says it often points to gut barrier issues ("leaky gut")—and that fixing the gut can make sensitivities go away.  Hormones don't fail in isolation—stress and sleep shape the outcome. He emphasizes starting with fundamentals like sleep, alcohol reduction, and stress management, and explains "cortisol steal" where high stress drives cortisol production at the expense of testosterone.  Metabolism isn't magic: build lean muscle. When asked how to increase metabolic rate, Dr. Haas gives the simplest (and most effective) answer: build lean muscle mass.    Why This Conversation Matters: Dr. Haas shares that in his 40s—while scaling his medical practice, starting another business helping other doctors, and growing his family—fatigue hit hard, even while he was "doing the right things." It became a wake-up moment that something at a cellular level was off.  That experience pushed him deeper into what he describes as cellular medicine: mitochondria, redox/repair pathways, hormones, toxins, and tools like hyperbaric oxygen.  And it highlights a hard truth for high performers: If your health collapses, your freedom collapses with it.    Money Learning: Dr. Haas also touches a reality most people don't think about: Becoming a doctor can delay earning for a long time. He says he was about 38 when he made his first "real" doctor paycheck—and contrasts that with his brother who started earning right after college.  Rocky adds an important point: sometimes the best decisions happen outside the traditional insurance-driven system—when you can get proactive testing and establish baselines, rather than waiting until the system says you're "sick enough" to qualify.    Key Takeaway: If you want more energy, better recovery, and a longer health span, you can't only focus on symptoms—you have to protect the foundations: mitochondria, gut function, hormones, and lean muscle mass.    Guest Bio: Dr. William Haas: Dr. William Haas is trained in family practice and describes his path into integrative medicine, which he frames as focusing on prevention, food as medicine, the mind-body connection, and pulling tools from different healing modalities. He also mentions training/mentorship with Andrew Weil.  In this episode, he discusses deeper evaluation beyond basic labs, including gut function/microbiome, micronutrients, hormones, inflammation, and toxins such as mycotoxins/mold, microplastics, and heavy metals.    Links: Website: https://vyvewellness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VYVEWellness/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vyvewellness YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VYVEWellness Blog: https://vyvewellness.com/blog/   Ready to Go Deeper?

In this episode of The Resetter Podcast, Dr. Mindy Pelz sits down with hormone expert Dr. Sonya Jensen for a deeply honest conversation about how hormones shape our emotions, behaviors, relationships, and sense of self across every stage of a woman's life. Together, they explore why emotional reactions intensify during hormonal transitions, how resentment and rage often have ancestral roots, and why symptoms like anxiety, fatigue, and overwhelm are not character flaws, but signals from the body asking for support. Dr. Sonya introduces her "HER Cycle" framework, showing how hormones, emotions, and relationships are always influencing one another and how healing often begins in the body, not the mind.

I get my blood work done every 90 days and I swear it's the ultimate tip for health in the short term and in the long term and just feeling your best on he daily. So, today I'm going to try to convince you to do the same. Because there is a huge difference between being "not sick" and being truly healthy and if you aren't getting your bloodwork done at least once a year, you really don't know what's going on. Most people only get blood work done when something is wrong. When they feel bad. When they are exhausted. When a symptom won't go away. When a doctor orders it because something already happened. Instead of doing it reactively, we are talking about doing it proactively. How can you know what your body needs? What supplements or adjustments to your lifestyle… it's almost impossible without bloodwork. It tells you how your hormones are functioning. How inflamed your body is. How well you are absorbing nutrients. How your cholesterol is trending. How stressed your nervous system is. How your metabolism is working. How your immune system is functioning. Today's episode is about why doing blood work every 90 days can completely change your relationship with your health, how the top longevity experts think about tracking biomarkers, how it helps you personalize supplements and lifestyle instead of guessing, and how it allows you to catch problems early before they become a real problem.  Let's go! Your blood work is your internal dashboard. It's crazy that most people are driving their body blind!! I do full blood work every 90 days and I swear by it.  I'm going to break it all down today. Every 90 days I sit down with my functional medicine doctor, Dr. Singler, and we go through everything. We look at what's trending up. What's trending down. What needs support. What needs to be addressed. We adjust supplements. We talk about lifestyle changes. We sometimes talk about peptides. We look at stress markers like cortisol. We look at hormones. We look at inflammation. We look at cholesterol. We look at nutrient deficiencies. It's not just "do you have a disease." It's "what is your body asking for." And that quarterly check-in has become one of the most powerful forms of self-care I do. Today's episode is about why doing blood work every 90 days can completely change your relationship with your health, how the top longevity experts think about tracking biomarkers, how it helps you personalize supplements and lifestyle instead of guessing, and how it allows you to catch problems early before they become diagnoses. Because knowledge is power. And when it comes to your health, awareness is leverage. ***Why the Best Health and Longevity Experts Obsess Over Biomarkers When you listen to people like Peter Attia, Andrew Huberman, and leaders in longevity medicine, one theme is constant. You can't manage what you don't measure. They talk constantly about biomarkers. Blood markers. Hormones. Cholesterol. Glucose. Inflammation. Nutrients. Stress markers. Not because numbers are the goal. Because trends tell the truth. You don't need to wait until something is "out of range" to take action. You can see patterns forming. You can see directions your health is moving. You can intervene early. Longevity is not built by reacting to disease. Longevity is built by managing risk decades before disease shows up. Blood work lets you see inside the body instead of guessing from the outside. Energy, mood, sleep, weight, anxiety, motivation, focus, hormones, immune function… all of it leaves fingerprints in your labs. *** Why Every 90 Days Is a Sweet Spot Doing blood work every 90 days creates a rhythm. It's long enough for meaningful changes to occur. It's short enough to catch problems early. It's frequent enough to personalize your approach. This cadence allows you to: • See how supplements are actually working • Know if lifestyle changes are helping • Track hormones as they shift • Monitor cholesterol trends • Watch inflammation markers • Identify deficiencies before symptoms • See how stress is impacting your body It turns health into an ongoing relationship instead of a once-a-year appointment. Rather than living on autopilot, it becomes a quarterly check-in. "How is my body actually doing?" "What does it need right now?" "What needs to change?" ***The Power of Baselines One of the most underrated benefits of regular blood work is baselines. When you know what your normal looks like, everything changes. If something shifts, you see it faster. If you get sick, you have something to compare to. If symptoms show up, you're not starting from zero. Your baseline becomes your personal health fingerprint. This is especially powerful with hormones, thyroid, cholesterol, inflammatory markers, glucose, and nutrient levels. Medicine is often built around population averages. But health is personal. Your optimal range is not always the same as "normal." Blood work every 90 days teaches you your body. ***Personalization Instead of Guessing Most people take supplements blindly. They try what's trending. What a friend is taking. What TikTok says. What an ad promises. Blood work removes guessing. You stop throwing things at your body and hoping. You start making informed decisions. When I review labs with my doctor, we are not just looking for problems. We are optimizing. We adjust supplements based on what my body is actually showing. We talk about hormones. We talk about stress. We talk about sleep. We talk about hydration. We talk about inflammation. We talk about recovery. If cortisol is elevated, the conversation shifts to lifestyle, nervous system, sleep, slowing down, hydration, sauna, recovery. If something is low, we talk about absorption, nutrition, and targeted support. It becomes a dialogue with your body instead of a guessing game. ***Emotional Health Lives in the Labs Too This is not just physical. Your labs often reflect your emotional and mental load. Stress hormones. Inflammation. Blood sugar instability. Nutrient depletion. Your body keeps the receipts. Blood work gives you objective data to support lifestyle changes. Sometimes the answer is not another supplement. Sometimes it's rest. Sleep. Boundaries. Sunlight. Movement. Slowing down. It's incredibly empowering to see that connection clearly. It turns self-care into strategy, not indulgence. ***How I Do It and How You Could Do It The way I do it is higher touch and more expensive. I use a mobile blood draw that comes to my house. Then I schedule a long call with my functional medicine doctor to go through everything. We take our time. We look at the full picture. We build a plan. But you do not have to do it that way. You can ask your doctor to order labs. You can go to a clinic and make an appointment so you're not waiting forever. You can get a basic panel and build from there. You can even upload your results into ChatGPT and use it as an educational tool to help you understand what the markers mean and what questions to ask your doctor. This doesn't have to be complicated. It just has to be consistent. ***Why This Is One of the Best Investments You Can Make We spend money on convenience. On clothes. On food. On homes. On trips. On businesses. But nothing affects the quality of your life more than the quality of your health. Energy. Mood. Confidence. Focus. Longevity. Relationships. Joy. Blood work every 90 days is not an expense. It is intelligence. It is prevention. It is personalization. It is early detection. It is self-leadership. It is saying, "I care about how long I live and how well I live." ***Most people wait for symptoms to tell them something is wrong. But by the time symptoms show up, your body has usually been whispering for a long time. Blood work lets you hear the whispers. It lets you see trends before problems. Adjust before crashes. Support before burnout. Correct before disease. For me, doing blood work every 90 days has become a quarterly health check-in with myself. How am I really doing? What does my body need? What needs to change? What needs support? It keeps me connected to my health instead of disconnected from it. And I truly believe this is one of the most powerful forms of preventative self-care anyone can adopt. So if you take anything from this episode, let it be this. Don't wait for something to go wrong.  Start tracking your health while things are going right. There's nothing more important or worth spending your time and money on!

After a week of doomscrolling, our eyes are TIRED! If you're a parent in the digital age, chances are your eyes are hurting. This week, we're joined by Dr. Pam Theriot - Optometrist, TEDx speaker, and nationally recognized expert in eye health!

Tired of doing “everything right” and still feeling inflamed, foggy, and out of sync with your body? We dig into a clear, faith-forward plan to restore energy, steady hormones, and heal the gut using targeted, physician-grade supplements and practical daily habits. No fads. No hype. Just clean science, smart dosing, and tools you can actually stick with.We start by reframing the problem: modern food and stress deplete minerals, overwhelm the liver, and skew our fat balance. That's why stacked support works best. We unpack Hormone Tame as a five-in-one: activated B vitamins for methylation, mitochondrial nutrients for energy, and polyphenols that help metabolize estrogen so periods calm and mood steadies. Then we tackle the omega equation—why seed oils drive inflammation and how a high-purity omega-3, plus magnesium, can flip the script on aches, sleep, and resilience.From there, we build your gut plan. A medical-food style protein with L-glutamine soothes IBS and feeds the lining. Digestive Lift adds enzymes, gentle acid, and ox bile to prevent bloat and help you handle healthy fats. For microbiome balance, Biome Lift stabilizes daily while Spore Lift acts like a bouncer when SIBO or post-travel trouble hits. We also introduce a fiber you won't fear: a diverse prebiotic blend that increases short-chain fatty acids, nudges Akkermansia for metabolic health, and naturally boosts GLP-1 to curb cravings.Detox gets a reset with a true 3-2-1 approach—opening phase 3 and 2 before phase 1 so toxins exit rather than recirculate. Expect less bloat, brighter skin, and steadier energy when you rotate this seasonally and keep daily support with Slim Lift. If you're stepping down from GLP-1 meds or want a stimulant-free metabolism boost, MetaboLift pairs GLP-1 support with AMPK activation to quiet “food noise” and raise your burn without wrecking appetite or sleep.This is how faith, functional medicine, and simple choices meet: whole foods, better fats, prayer, rest, and supplements that respect how the body actually works. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help more women find real healing.✨ Join the EMPOWERED BY FAITH: 5 Days To A Lighter You Challenge!

Sex After 50 doesn't have to decline — in fact, for many people, it gets better. In this episode of Ask a Sex Therapist, Heather is joined by Karen Bigman, a sex and relationship coach specializing in midlife and sex after 50, for an honest, funny, and deeply validating conversation about aging, desire, body changes, and intimacy. They explore why so many couples assume that low libido, painful sex, or loss of desire is just “part of getting older” — and why that belief is often what actually harms a sex life the most. From menopause and perimenopause to body image, shame, communication, and emotional intimacy, this episode reframes sex after 50 as something that can be playful, connected, and deeply satisfying. You'll hear practical insights about: Why sex drive changes with age — and why that doesn't mean sex is overHow menopause, hormones, and vaginal health affect desire and pleasureWhy mental foreplay, laughter, and connection matter more than performanceHow to talk about sex with a partner when it feels awkward or intimidatingLetting go of obligatory sex and rebuilding pleasure without pressure Why kissing, novelty, and communication are essential for long-term intimacy This conversation is especially helpful for: People navigating midlife, perimenopause, or menopauseCouples wondering how to keep sex fun and connected after 50Anyone struggling with desire discrepancy, body confidence, or sexual shamePeople curious about sex and agingPartners who want to better support each other through aging and change If you've ever wondered whether great sex is still possible later in life, this episode offers reassurance, science-backed insight, and permission to stop forcing what doesn't work — and start enjoying what does.

Waking up in the middle of the night to pee is not normal, even if it only happens once. This episode reveals why nighttime urination is an early metabolic warning sign, not a bladder or prostate issue. Ben explains how insulin resistance, blood sugar spikes, cortisol, and disrupted hormones interfere with deep sleep, fat burning, and brain detoxification. When sleep is interrupted, belly fat increases, hormones fall out of balance, and the brain's nighttime cleaning process shuts down. You'll learn the five main metabolic causes behind nighttime urination, including late-night eating, alcohol, electrolyte imbalance, high cortisol, and fluid shifts in the body. Ben also shares simple changes you can start tonight to sleep through the night again. This episode breaks down why most doctors miss this signal, how insulin resistance can exist years before diabetes, and how fixing metabolic signals can restore sleep, energy, fat loss, and long-term health. If you're waking up to pee, feeling wired but tired, or struggling with stubborn belly fat, this episode could change everything.

Coffee can be one of the healthiest drinks in the world or one of the most damaging, depending on how and when you drink it. In this episode, Ben breaks down 7 hidden coffee dangers that silently disrupt your gut, liver, hormones, sleep, and fat-burning ability, plus simple fixes to make coffee work for your metabolism instead of against it. What You'll Learn: Why drinking coffee on an empty stomach can spike cortisol and slow fat loss How artificial creamers, seed oils, and sweeteners damage gut bacteria and overload the liver The overlooked danger of mold toxins (mycotoxins) in most coffee beans Why pesticides like glyphosate in coffee can worsen leaky gut and insulin resistance How drinking coffee too early disrupts circadian rhythm and causes energy crashes Why afternoon coffee (even decaf) sabotages deep and REM sleep How to choose clean, mold-free, organic coffee for better energy and metabolic health Key Takeaway: Coffee isn't the problem. Dirty coffee habits are.With the right timing, ingredients, and sourcing, coffee can be anti-inflammatory, liver supportive, and fat-burning.

Today, I am delighted to welcome Dr. Karan Rajan, a gastroenterologist, author, and one of the most prominent health and science creators on social media, with a large and engaged social media following. In our discussion today, we delve into the evolution of fiber, exploring it as a previously overlooked micronutrient, and discussing its chemistry, biology, and the roles of fiber polyphenols, prebiotics, and GLP-1s. We look at satiety and various hormones, and Dr. Rajan shares his take on the increase we're seeing in colorectal cancer. He also clarifies why colonoscopies are safe screening modalities, how women's guts change in midlife, and various other topics, including poop, the Goldilocks effect, the estrobolome, polypharmacy, microplastics, estrogen dominance, medical myopia, and the gut-brain axis. Join us for today's incredibly informative and information-packed podcast with Dr. Karan Rajan. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why is fiber so important? How fiber fuels the microbiome Some examples of high-fiber foods How fiber and polyphenols support microbial and hormonal balance How fiber supports our endogenous GLP-1 ecosystem Why colonoscopy risks are often misunderstood How perimenopause alters gut motility and appetite What constipation really means  How lifestyle factors like sleep, exercise, sunlight, and medications shape the microbiome Dr. Rajan debunks some common social media misconceptions surrounding the gut-brain axis.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Do this, no, do that.  Coffee is bad.  Coffee is good.  Do these three things.  Take these medications or else.  It is no wonder that people just turn a blind ear and do nothing.  When you finally have hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, or dementia, the treatments are aimed only at the symptoms instead of the root cause.  When it comes to pain, people may think that is not such a bad thing because we do have pain medications that work well for short periods of time then cause havoc with side effects, tolerances and addiction.  The best plan of action is to stay healthy through sunlight, diet, and exercise.  I am going to address each of these today and probably every podcast because the list is endless on how you can keep yourself healthy.  In today's episode:  Hormone replacement for women: stay away, I'll tell you why Congestive heart failure: it is not a death sentence and does not have to be treated with a pharmacy of expensive medications. Dementia: prevent it through lifestyle changes now.  Diet matters and plants alone may not do the job.   Exercise: move all the ways and often.  I'll tell you more. Thank your for listening.  If you want help implementing these changes, check out our website at doctordulaney.com Email me at jami@doctordulaney.com Pharmedout: https://sites.google.com/georgetown.edu/pharmedout#h.qf846eik9aky Heat failure therapy study: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamacardiology/article-abstract/2844102 Brain atrophy and omega 3 fatty acids: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25877495/ Cookbook: amzn.to/4onHVe4 Water distillers: mypurewater.come?sld-jdulaney.

This episode comes straight from my own lived experience of spiraling before doctor's appointments and feeling dismissed when it comes to hormones. I dig into why so many hormone providers get it wrong and what's actually happening behind those rushed, frustrating conversations. Why does advocating for ourselves feel so hard? I walk you through what most doctors are (and aren't) trained to do when it comes to perimenopause and menopause. How much of this is about lack of education versus lack of time? And how do you stop blaming yourself when you're told your labs are "normal," but you feel terrible? We also talk about what good hormone care should actually look like, no matter where you get it. What questions should you be asking? What red flags should make you pause—or run? And how can you walk into your next appointment calm, confident, and clear instead of anxious and second-guessing everything? In this episode, we uncover: Why so many women feel dismissed or gaslit during hormone-related doctor visits. How to approach hormone conversations without feeling awkward, emotional, or intimidated. What good hormone care actually includes beyond "your labs look normal." How to spot red flags and green flags in hormone providers and clinics. Why understanding hormones changes your confidence and long-term health outcomes.

These Border Patrol raids deep in our cities are nothing but a massive beta test for the AI surveillance grid, with feds wearing Meta glasses that snap your face, ID you instantly, and feed you into kill lists just like they did to Alex Pretti before they executed him on camera. Erika Kirk wants you to buy her grieving trad-wife act, but the receipts don't lie—she's a documented pathological liar who faked her entire backstory, hid ex-fiancés and wild reality-TV hookups, invented a single-mom sob story, and buried inconvenient family members while pretending to be some pure Christian conservative princess.

Why it shows up differently for different women, and how menopause changes recovery without changing your ability to get stronger. You'll learn what the science says about muscle damage, inflammation, and why chasing soreness can actually slow your results.
