If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, hit pause and go back — the two episodes build on each other, and the full picture will make far more sense when heard in order.Here, we shift from identifying the problem to showing you how to clear it from your system naturally. This episode breaks down the detoxification phase of the long-awaited Endocrine Detox Protocol — built around four targeted formulas designed to support receptor clearance, liver pathways, gut integrity, and calcium balance to support healthy hormone signaling.If you've been struggling with stubborn symptoms, slow progress, or hormone fluctuations despite “doing everything right,” this episode will help you understand what's been missing — and how to finally address the upstream causes that matter.Products:LiverVitalityEndoCleanseBack On TractVital D3/K2 High PotencyVital D3/K2Magnesium BisglycinateAdditional Information:#588: The Hidden Epidemic Part 1: How Endocrine Disruptors Are Hijacking Your Health#507: Comprehensive Digestive Support to Get Your Gut ‘Back On Tract'!#565: D3, K2, Boron, and Silica: The Ultimate Synergy for Bones, Hormones, Arteries, and More!#258: Your Magnesium User's GuideVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

In this episode of DISRxUPT, hosts Justin Cole and Shannon Yarosz sit down with Dr. Tiffany Ruder, a pharmacist, hormone specialist, and founder of Better Health and Hormone Balance, to explore how pharmacists can transform women's health through education, advocacy, and holistic care.From community pharmacy to pioneering work in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, Dr. Ruder shares her journey of recognizing critical gaps in perimenopause and menopause care, and how she's empowering women to reclaim their health through evidence-based, root-cause approaches. This conversation challenges pharmacists to step beyond the counter and become champions for a population that has been historically underserved and often dismissed.The Education GapOnly one in five OBGYN residency programs include significant menopause trainingPharmacy school curriculum barely touches women's hormone health beyond basic contraceptionWomen's symptoms are frequently dismissed or attributed to mental health rather than hormonal changesThe medical model often fragments care, missing the systemic nature of hormonal imbalancesUnderstanding Perimenopause & MenopauseEarly symptoms often appear as mood changes, sleep disruption, migraines, and GI issues, not just hot flashesHormones affect the entire body: digestion, neurochemistry, heart rate, metabolism, and moreWomen typically see 4-5 different specialists before finding answersThe transition can begin in a woman's 30s or 40s and last 7-10 years or longerThe Pharmacist's OpportunityPharmacists possess unique biochemistry knowledge that positions them perfectly for hormone counselingFive-minute consultations at the pharmacy counter are insufficient for complex hormone discussionsPharmacists can become educators in clinical settings, corporate boardrooms, schools, and community spacesCertification programs (like hormone replacement therapy specialist credentials) can deepen expertiseFrom Retail to RevolutionDr. Ruder's transition from CVS pharmacy manager to compounding pharmacy specialistThe pandemic as a catalyst for career transformation and reevaluation of work-life balanceDiscovering bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and recognizing the profound need for patient educationLaunching Better Health and Hormone Balance to provide one-on-one consultations beyond the pharmacy counterRoot Cause vs. Band-Aid SolutionsMoving beyond symptom management to address underlying hormonal imbalancesThe importance of comprehensive hormone testing and personalized treatment plansUnderstanding the difference between synthetic and bioidentical hormonesIntegrating nutrition, lifestyle, and stress management with pharmaceutical interventionsFaith & PurposeRecognizing a calling to serve women who have been dismissed by the healthcare systemDaily practice of trust and conviction in uncertain entrepreneurial watersUsing pharmaceutical expertise as a ministry and showing compassion through patient careBalancing personal timetables with divine timingA Vision for Women-Centered CareCreating holistic care models that treat women as whole persons, not fragmented body partsBuilding safe spaces where women feel heard, validated, and empoweredBringing specialists together to create integrated treatment plansRecognizing that women are not "mini men" - physiology, metabolism, and care needs differ significantlyPractical Advice for PharmacistsPursue continuing education in areas of passion - don't wait for curriculum to catch upConsider specialized certifications to deepen expertise in underserved areasLook beyond traditional pharmacy roles to entrepreneurial and educational opportunitiesAdvocate for patients who have been dismissed or overlooked by the healthcare systemRemember that education leads to empowerment for both pharmacists and patientsNotable Quotes"These women deserve so much more than five or ten minutes of our time.""By the time they find compounding pharmacies, most have gone to four to five different doctors. They've been told no, they've been dismissed, they've been told their symptoms are in their head.""We're not just these smaller versions of men. We are complex and dynamic, and our hormones influence a lot.""Education can lead to empowerment because you don't know what you don't know and you can't take action if you're not fully aware.""When we care for others, they get to see the Jesus in me because it's no longer me. It's God who's living through me."Looking AheadDr. Ruder envisions a future where pharmacists serve as educators and advocates in multiple settings, from clinical practices to corporate boardrooms to community spaces. She calls for a truly holistic model of women's health care that validates experiences, integrates specialty expertise, and treats women as whole persons rather than collections of isolated symptoms.About the Guest:Dr. Tiffany Ruder is a pharmacist, certified hormone replacement therapy specialist, and founder of Better Health and Hormone Balance. Originally from Kansas and now based in Houston, Texas, she specializes in helping women navigate perimenopause and menopause through evidence-based, root-cause care. After years in community pharmacy leadership, she discovered her calling in women's hormonal health and now provides one-on-one consultations and education to women seeking answers beyond the five-minute pharmacy counter conversation.Connect with Dr. Ruder:Website: optimize-her.comInstagram: @optimizeherpharmacistLinkedIn: Tiffany RuderFacebook Community: Better Health and Hormone BalanceHosts: Justin Cole and Shannon Yarosz, Cedarville University Center for Pharmacy InnovationEpisode Length: 45 minutesRelease Date: November 2025Episode Number: 53

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared opens part one of a powerful new series on what he calls the hidden epidemic—the widespread and silent impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) on hormones, brain chemistry, metabolism, and long-term health. After more than a year and a half of deep research, Jared and his wife Jen have uncovered how these chemicals mimic hormones, block receptors, interfere with detox pathways, disrupt neurotransmitters, and contribute to challenges like fatigue, low motivation, stubborn weight gain, PMS, anxiety, sleep struggles, and declining testosterone in both men and women.This episode explains why the endocrine system is struggling more than ever, how EDCs create thyroid chaos, hormonal imbalance, and neurochemical disruption, and what steps you can begin taking right now to start clearing these compounds from your environment and your body. If you've been dealing with symptoms that “don't match” your lab work, if you've struggled to feel balanced despite doing the right things, or if you've suspected environmental chemicals may be affecting you or your family, make sure to listen to Part 2 and stay tuned for future episodes.

Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with Part 2 of our conversation with Anthony DiSalvo, Maria's personal acupuncturist and California Board-Certified Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, and this one's all about real-life healing tools you can use daily. In this episode, Anthony breaks down how to naturally relieve constipation, allergies, and hormonal imbalances through simple acupressure points, herbal support, and daily habits. He also shares how hot water therapy can transform digestion, what your cravings reveal about your body, and how Chinese medicine helps with fertility, postpartum recovery, and UTIs. Maria and Anthony dive into how consistency and self-discipline are the secret ingredients for healing, and why you don't need to rely only on external treatments to feel better. You'll learn how to reconnect with your body, support your organs, and build harmony from the inside out! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS: Consistency creates healing. Acupressure isn't a one-time fix, it's a daily dialogue with your body. The more you show up, the faster your system learns to rebalance on its own. Hot water is medicine. Swapping cold drinks for warm or hot water soothes digestion, boosts circulation, and relaxes your body from the inside out. Healing allergies starts with strengthening your organs. Instead of masking symptoms, support your lungs, liver, and spleen so your immune system can finally calm and reset. Your hormones want harmony, not control. Chinese medicine works with your natural cycles to ease PMS, improve fertility, and make transitions like perimenopause smoother. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy's Page: Shop My Macy's Storefront EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/ Thrive Causemetics: https://thrivecausemetics.com/healsquad Get 20% OFF with this link!

We often think that age brings negative health changes and there's nothing we can do about it. In this conversation with Dr. Prudence Hall we learn that our lifestyle (exercise, nutrition, stress reduction) has much more impact on aging well. A balanced, healthy lifestyle allows the body to properly regulate our hormones which then helps us age without negative health issues.Dr. Hall takes a unique 360-degree approach – one that is root-cause vs. symptom-based, and that favors natural solutions over synthetic hormones and prescription drugs.

In this inspiring episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Functional Health Practitioner Dee Davidson sits down with her client Jayne, a vibrant, health-conscious woman who seemed to be doing everything right — clean eating, regular workouts, and all the “healthy habits” you'd expect.Yet behind the scenes, Jayne was running on empty — exhausted, moody, and frustrated that her doctors kept telling her, “Everything looks fine.”Together, Dee and Jayne unpack how functional lab testing revealed what traditional labs had missed: mineral imbalances, adrenal fatigue, and stress patterns that were quietly draining Jayne's energy. Through targeted nutrition, mineral support, and lifestyle shifts, Jayne discovered that “normal” doesn't always mean optimal — and that true wellness starts when you finally listen to what your body is trying to say.If you've ever felt dismissed by “normal” results but know something deeper is off, this episode will empower you to dig deeper and reclaim your vitality — one insight at a time.Ready to explore your own functional lab journey?Book a session with Dee here → https://calendly.com/confidentlyloveyourselfConnect with Dee on Instagram for daily hormone, gut, and mineral tips → HereDisclaimerThe information shared in this podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

When it comes to testosterone pellets vs injections for men, there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer, and that's the point of this episode. We walk through how we help patients decide between weekly (or twice-weekly) injections and 4–5 month pellets, and why creams often don't reach the same therapeutic effect for many men. We also talk about why symptoms and day-to-day function matter more than chasing a single “normal” number. You'll learn the practical differences between testosterone pellets vs injections for men, from convenience and dosing to follow-up and lifestyle fit. We explain how we monitor energy, focus, libido, sleep quality, and training recovery, and how we adjust safely over time. We'll touch on when splitting an injection dose makes sense and when a pellet schedule fits better. Our goal is to help you feel like yourself again, using a plan that's personalized, medically supervised, and realistic for your life. If you're comparing testosterone pellets vs injections for men and want guidance grounded in experience, this breakdown will help you make an informed choice.Visit this link to learn more: https://www.alluremedical.com/Subscribe to the podcast and leave a 5-star review!You can also catch this show on our YouTube channel and on all your favorite podcast platforms.Read the latest research and advice from the doctors at Allure Medical: https://www.alluremedical.com/books/ Dr. Charles Mok received his medical degree from Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine, Chicago, Illinois in 1989.

Detox isn't a juice cleanse — it's a biochemical process your liver runs 24/7. In this deep-dive episode, Coach Debbie Potts unpacks how choline, bile, and cholesterol form the ultimate metabolic trio that determines your fat-burning, hormone balance, and brain health. Learn how sluggish bile flow, low choline intake, or poor drainage can stall detoxification, drive estrogen dominance, and create that "toxic fatigue" so many midlife women experience. You'll discover:
Chronic stress and hormone chaos don't just steal your energy; they rewrite your biology.

Her story of reversing infertility, healing burnout, and discovering the power of “keto-green” living shows what happens when you let your body feel safe again.In this episode, we talk about how stress hormones block love hormones, how mindset shifts literally change chemistry, and why measuring something as simple as urine pH can tell you if your body is thriving or burning out.She also opens up about her “second menopause,” her daughter's rodeo journey, and how joy, connection, and oxytocin might be the most powerful anti-aging tools we've ignored.“Menopause is a magical transition...

Are you tired of chasing symptoms and getting nowhere? In this powerful episode, Dee Davidson, FDN-P — Board-Certified Functional Health Practitioner and host of Confidently Balance Your Hormones — sits down with Reed Davis, the founder of FDN, to talk about how functional lab testing helps uncover the real reasons behind fatigue, hormone imbalance, gut issues, and burnout.Dee shares her own family's story — how her son's health challenges led her to seek real answers, discover the FDN program, and transform her career to help others heal through the same root-cause principles Reed developed over 25 years ago.You'll learn:
"Normal" Hormone Balance In The Professional Woman? The frustrating truth is that for most women, their hormone "levels" do not accurately reflect the hormonal imbalance they may feel. While hormone level testing can give some insight, how you feel depends more on your body's ability to utilize and regulate your ever-fluctuating hormonal symphony rather than treating a static hormone level. The best way to "manage" the hormonal chaos is to look through a personalized lifestyle approach that can help your body modulate its hormones more effectively.

Diet has become one of the most polarizing topics in modern health. Whether it's carnivore, keto, or veganism, conversations around food can quickly become divisive. But beyond the noise and online debates — how do you actually determine the best way to eat for your health, longevity, and heart? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Joel Kahn, an integrative cardiologist often referred to as “America's Healthy Heart Doc.” After decades practicing conventional cardiology, Dr. Kahn shifted his focus toward preventative medicine — emphasizing nutrition, early testing, and lifestyle strategies to help patients avoid heart disease altogether. Dr. Kahn shares his evidence-based approach to heart disease prevention, including how he helps patients identify and treat risk factors ten years before a potential heart attack. We dive into the science behind different diets, what research actually shows about plant-based nutrition, and why personalization — not dogma — is key when it comes to both food and medication. We also explore the connection between hormones and cardiovascular health, the role of post-menopausal hormone therapy in prevention, and what tests you should consider before ever starting statins. If you care about protecting your heart—and cutting through the confusion around diet and prevention—this is an episode you don't want to miss. Episode Highlights: Dr. Kahn's transition from traditional cardiology to preventive and integrative care His lifelong passion for nutrition and functional wellness The simple rule everyone should follow for a heart-healthy diet Research-backed benefits of plant-forward eating Why statin therapy should be personalized, not automatic The most important tests to request before taking statins How hormone therapy after menopause impacts heart health The vital link between hormonal balance and cardiovascular function Dr. Kahn's top testing recommendations for early heart disease detection Connect with Dr. Joel Kahn Dr. Joel Kahn's Website | DrJoelKahn.com Dr. Joel Kahn's Clinic | Kahn Longevity Center Dr. Joel Kahn on Instagram | @DrJKahn Dr. Joel Kahn's Podcast | Heart Doc VIP with Dr. Joel Kahn Dr. Joel Kahn's Books | View Dr. Joel Kahn's Library Dr. Joel Kahn on The Joe Rogan Experience | Listen To The Full Episode Dr. Kahn's Joe Rogan Experience Podcast Reference Guide | View The Reference Guide Episode Resources: Dr. Shawn Tassone's Practice | Tassone Advanced Gynecology Dr. Shawn Tassone's Book | The Hormone Balance Bible Dr. Shawn Tassone's Integrative Hormonal Mapping System | Hormonal Archetype Quiz Medical Disclaimer This podcast and website represent the opinions of Dr. Shawn Tassone and his guests.
