„Bis 25 wächst man. Danach altert man nur noch.“ – Dr. Katharina Brüggemann ist Fachärztin für Innere Medizin, Ästhetik und Lasermedizin und eine der Expertinnen, die Klartext sprechen, wenn es um echte Ergebnisse geht. In ihrer Praxis verbindet sie Hightech, Medizin und Prävention – immer mit dem Ziel, Alterungsprozesse zu verstehen und zu verlangsamen.

Most people think sugar is the worst carb — but there's one “healthy” carb that's even more dangerous. In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals how whole-grain wheat bread, often labeled as “heart-healthy,” secretly shuts off your fat-burning hormones, causes insulin resistance, and keeps you inflamed — especially after 40. You'll learn how this common food spikes your glucose just like candy, blocks your metabolism for hours, and fuels hormone imbalances like leptin resistance, thyroid slowdown, and estrogen dominance. Ben shares real data from his glucose monitor experiment and explains why removing wheat products for just 14 days can dramatically boost energy, improve sleep, and restart fat burning. You'll also discover the best carb alternatives — sweet potatoes, cooled white rice, and root vegetables — plus how to download his free 7-Day Fat Loss Protocol to finally heal your metabolism and reclaim your energy.
In this episode of the You Are Not Broken podcast, Dr. Kelly Casperson interviews Jennifer Lanoff, a board-certified women's health nurse practitioner and attorney. They discuss Jennifer's unique journey from law to healthcare, the importance of ethics in medical practice, and the need for informed consent in patient care. The conversation also touches on the role of hormones in women's health, the impact of social media on healthcare discussions, and the future of hormone therapy. Throughout the episode, they emphasize the importance of empowering patients with knowledge and fostering open communication between healthcare providers and patients. Takeaways Jennifer transitioned from law to healthcare to focus on patient care. Ethics in healthcare needs to be redefined to include the harm of inaction. Informed consent should involve thorough discussions, not just signatures. Patients are increasingly educated and should be empowered in their healthcare decisions. Hormone therapy can play a crucial role in women's health and should be discussed openly. Social media influences patient perceptions and can complicate doctor-patient relationships. The future of hormone therapy is promising, but access and education are key. Healthcare providers must navigate the complexities of patient education in a fast-paced environment. The importance of shared decision-making in patient care cannot be overstated. The conversation around menopause and hormone therapy is evolving, and more research is needed.

In this episode of the Red Delta Project Podcast & Live Q&A, Matt tears into one of the most seductive lies in modern fitness culture: the “hormone myth.” You know the story—fat loss is all about insulin, muscle gain is all about testosterone, and if you just follow this one magical diet or training trick, you'll “hack” your hormones and unlock perfect results. Matt breaks down why that ideology is scientifically incomplete, practically limiting, and usually just a clever way to make you work 10x harder for a fraction of the results.You'll learn why hormones like insulin, testosterone, and cortisol do matter—but are only one influence in a much bigger system that includes total calories, activity level, sleep, satisfaction, stress, and long-term habits. Matt also explains why obsessing over carb grams, heart-rate zones, or tiny hormone spikes misses the real game: consistently influencing the processes behind fat loss and muscle gain over weeks and months, not minutes and meals.In the Q&A, Matt tackles practical questions on partial range of motion vs full range, dips vs push-ups and pausing at the bottom, using ladders and “double tap” training for strength and hypertrophy, recovering faster when you're constantly sore, how isometrics can reveal (and fix) weaknesses, and why there is no single “best” exercise, program, or ideology—only what reliably moves your results forward with the least unnecessary stress.RDP Equipment and Gear: https://is.gd/5O5LLrAndrogen receptor study: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/physiology/articles/10.3389/fphys.2018.01373/full

Hormone Health and HRT: Understanding the Truth Beyond Myths of Menopause with guest expert Dr. Sarah DacarrettThere is way too much confusion and misinformation circling around menopause right now. So, this episode cuts through the noise and gets you the answers you need. Right now.Hormones affect everything—your mood, sleep, energy, and more. And during menopause, things can get a little... wild.There's a lot of noise out there when it comes to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), and not all of it is trueIn this episode, you will learn:Impact of the 2002 Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study on HRT perceptionsMisconceptions about HRT causing breast cancer—what science actually saysWhy early hormone health education is crucial before menopauseHormones as master regulators of overall health and agingWhen and why women should discuss HRT seriously with their doctorsHRT benefits for women undergoing menopause and perimenopauseSafety and use of vaginal suppository HRT for breast cancer survivorsSystemic nature of vaginal hormone delivery and its implicationsComparing patches, oral pills, and vaginal HRT: risks and benefitsBalancing risk versus benefit in hormonal treatments like birth controlThe concept of “post birth control syndrome” and its health impactsThe importance of patient informed consent and understanding treatment trade-offsRole of the breasts and uterus in hormone metabolism, beyond the liverIodine's role in hormone metabolism and managing breast and menstrual symptomsModern iodine deficiency compared to ancestral diets and its health consequences… And much more!ABOUT OUR GUEST EXPERT: Dr. Sarah Daccarett is dedicated to ensuring your symptoms are no longer mis-diagnosed or ignored.Dr. Dacarrett says, “In my mid-thirties after the birth of my son, my hormone levels never recovered.After trying every available product, I realized there were NO solutions specifically to meet the needs of younger women who want to feel young and vibrant again.I invented the Inner Balance protocol and Oestra because I needed it. I also realized that I wasn't alone - that hormone levels decline drastically in our 30s - NOT when our period stops in our 50s like we have been told.Women every day suffer from endometriosis, PCOS, postpartum depression, effects of birth control, hair loss, depression, fatigue, and a whole host of health problems due to low estrogen and progesterone.They are mis-diagnosed, mis-treated, or blown off as "just a part of being a woman", "just a part of aging", "you're too young", "you are normal," or even worse "you're just crazy."Meanwhile advancement in men's and transgender hormone replacement therapy is a decade ahead of women's. We think this is unacceptable, antiquated and marginalization of women.Women no longer have to settle for "normal" but rather they can feel exceptional - always."WEBSITE: https://www.innerbalance.com/INSTAGRAM: @sarahdaccarettmd****************************************SAY "NO MORE" TO TOXIC LAUNDRY - BUT YES TO FRESH SCENT WITHOUT HARMIt shocked me that our laundry rooms are often one of the most toxic places in our homes.After breast cancer, I began changing out my personal care and beauty but didn't even think about my cleaning supplies.For laundry, I found a few brands that are really clean and free of harmful ingredients, but still searched for that fresh scent without the toxic junk.

Send us a textBirth can be both clinical and deeply human, and few moments capture that better than a planned C-section. I wanted to remove the mystery and the fear, so I walk you step by step through what it actually feels like—from walking into a bright, cold OR to hearing that first cry and settling into recovery with your baby. This is not theory; it's a grounded, nurse-led guide to sensations, timelines, and choices that help you feel safe and in control.I start with the spinal: what the quick pinch feels like, how the warmth spreads, and why numbness without sharp pain lets you stay awake and present. You'll learn how the team preps your abdomen, places the drape, and runs a safety timeout that confirms your identity and plan. Then I get honest about the odd but normal feelings during surgery—deep pressure, tugging, and that famous “doing dishes in my belly” sensation—as the team guides your baby to the incision. I cover cord clamping timing, the brief handoff to the NICU nurse, and options for skin to skin while your surgeon completes the careful, longer closure of the uterus, fascia, and skin.Recovery gets equal attention. I explain the first two hours in the PACU, why shivering and itching can happen, how often your uterus is checked, and how early mobility lowers clot risk and eases gas pain. You'll hear practical tips on feeding, pain management, and what soreness and tightness feel like in the first days. Throughout, I keep the focus on respect, safety, and choice, rooted in real clinical steps and clear language.If you or someone you love is preparing for a C-section, this walkthrough turns the unknown into a map. Listen, share with a partner, and save it for the big day.

Wir alle kennen Placebos, aber für ihren Effekt braucht es eigentlich gar nicht die wirkstofffreie Tablette oder Spritze, sondern „nur“ unsere Erwartung an diese. Hormone gehören wie Schmerzmittel zu den Arzneistoffen mit sehr großen Placebo-Effekten. Warum das so ist, weshalb es keinesfalls heißt, dass man sich Kopfschmerzen, Brainfog oder Hitzewallungen nur eingebildet hat und wie man sich Erwartungseffekte ganz grundsätzlich in der Lebensmitte zunutze macht, darüber spricht Diana mit der Neurologin und Schmerzforscherin Prof. Dr. Ulrike Bingel vom Universitätsklinikum Essen.INFOS ZUR FOLGE:Hier geht es zu Prof. Dr. Ulrike Bingel und ihrer Arbeitsgruppe im Internet.Hier geht es zu ihrem Insta-Account.Hier geht es zur Website des Sonderforschungsbereichs "Treatment expectation", um die es am Ende der Podcastfolge geht.Hier geht es zu dem Buch, das sie gemeinsam mit Prof. Dr. Sven Benson geschrieben hat: "Dein Körper glaubt dir alles.

Send us a textIn this episode, I'm taking you with me down into the Grand Canyon—21 miles, 13 hours, eight of us ages 44–53 (seven women, one very patient man), and every bit of trail talk you can imagine. What started as “Can we actually do this?” turned into the most honest, hilarious, and wide-open conversation about pelvic health, perimenopause, and how physical therapy for women has completely evolved since we were first told to “just do your Kegels.”Spoiler: the canyon will make you talk about everything.Is it sweat or is it pee? Might be both.Bladder habits on switchbacks? Yep.Hormones while you're sweating through a sunset climb back to the rim? Absolutely.The stuff we wish someone told us 20 years ago? All of it.We get into:How women's health PT grew from basic kegels to running, lifting, sport, pregnancy → postpartum → peri/menopause careWhy it always comes back to the bladder (and why that's not a bad thing)The real story on preventative peeing + hovering on trail bathroomsWhat you should actually know about menopause hormone therapy (without the online panic spiral)Navigating peri/menopause with confidence, support, and a sense of humorIf you've ever wondered what happens when seven midlife women (& one very patient younger brother) take on the Grand Canyon… it's this.

Your workouts may be doing less than you think, and science now proves why. This episode reveals how to build muscle, improve metabolism, and extend longevity in a fraction of the time using blood flow restriction training and intermittent hypoxia. You'll learn how to hack your mitochondria for faster recovery, stronger hormonal balance, and better brain performance without the burnout of high-intensity training. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey talks with Dr. Sten Stray-Gundersen, PhD, CSCS, one of the world's leading experts on blood flow restriction (BFR) training and metabolic physiology. With over a decade of research and teaching experience, Dr. Stray-Gundersen has explored how BFR and intermittent hypoxia can improve cardiovascular health, metabolism, and recovery. After earning his doctorate in Exercise Physiology from the University of Texas at Austin, he now serves as an Assistant Professor at the University of South Carolina, where he studies vascular adaptations, cognitive performance, and ergogenic aids. He's also a B Strong master trainer, developing individualized BFR protocols for athletes, military professionals, and everyday people looking to optimize human performance. Together, Dave and Sten uncover how BFR and oxygen cycling unlock powerful adaptations in the body's vascular, metabolic, and hormonal systems. You'll learn how strategic stress signals can trigger nitric oxide production, enhance glucose uptake, improve insulin sensitivity, and supercharge mitochondria for better energy and anti-aging benefits. They also explore how these methods can naturally boost testosterone, growth hormone, and even libido, all while protecting the nervous system and improving recovery. This episode dives deep into biohacking, functional medicine, and smart exercise efficiency, from Zone 2 and REHIT training to nitric oxide signaling, fasting, nootropics, and precision supplementation. Whether your goal is longevity, strength, or sharper cognition, this conversation shows you how to get maximum results with minimal time using the principles of Smarter Not Harder. You'll Learn:• How intermittent hypoxia works at the level of partial pressure and why altitude acclimation upgrades mitochondria and performance• Why hypoxia and muscle contraction increase glucose uptake independent of insulin and improve insulin sensitivity• How blood flow restriction (BFR) accelerates fatigue with light loads to drive hypertrophy, strength, and vascular adaptations• How BFR and hypoxia influence testosterone, growth hormone, nitric oxide, and libido through short, targeted stress• The roles of ENOS, INOS, and NNOS in nitric oxide signaling and what that means for circulation and brain perfusion• Who benefits most from BFR, including athletes, rehab patients, and older adults who cannot lift heavy• Why BFR produces systemic and “proximal” gains, including carryover to glutes and upper body during lower limb training• How to stack BFR with Zone 2, REHIT, and vibration plates for VO2 max, muscle, and time efficiencyDave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade brings you the knowledge to take control of your biology, extend your longevity, and optimize every system in your body and mind. Each episode delivers cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, biohacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living. New episodes are released every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday (BONUS). Dave asks the questions no one else will and gives you real tools to become stronger, smarter, and more resilient.

If you've been doing everything right—eating clean, exercising, and taking your supplements—but still feel tired, bloated, or off, this episode is going to change the way you think about your health. I'm joined by the incredible Kim Rogers, better known online as the “Worm Queen,” who's pulling back the curtain on the hidden world of parasites and why so many of us are unknowingly affected by them. With 20+ years in Western medicine and a powerful personal healing story through Lyme, mold, and parasite infections, Kim brings both science and passion to this eye-opening conversation. You'll learn why regular parasite cleansing can be a total game-changer for your energy, digestion, skin, and overall vitality. All of us should be doing a parasite cleanse– it's safe, effective, and an incredible way to be proactive about our health. Tune in to this episode and feel empowered to take your healing into your own hands! Kim Rogers Kim worked in western medicine for over 20 years, ran 25 healthcare colleges, was a professor, author, and holds 2 healthcare degrees– all while dealing with her own chronic illnesses. In July, 2021 Kim came across a video on Tiktok talking about parasite cleansing. She gave it a try, and because it was so successful, she saw a need to help others heal. She started her company RogersHood in December 2021 making ParaFy Parasite cleanse kit to help others cleanse their bodies of unwanted parasites, candida, heavy metals, and toxins. Her mission is to help improve testing for environmental toxins for everyone! IN THIS EPISODE How Kim Rogers became an expert in understanding parasites Why parasite testing seems to be ignored in the USA Looking at how your body responds during a parasite cleanse Why it's hard to detect parasites The actual process of parasite cleansing The benefits of a 30-day cleanse program About the ParaFy cleanse and other products from RogersHood QUOTES“The herbs that we used are specifically because they're gentle and we should all be cleansing. We should all be doing this just as a proactive way, not so much as a reactive one… It's really a sad thing, the state we're seeing chronic illness at.” “60 million people in the United States have parasites that have been tested. That's through an approved lab to give us that number.” “I'm trying to teach and show people how to be sovereign over your own health and body so that you have a little more control. Chronically ill people, one of the biggest things is that I lost control over sovereignty with my own body over an illness, and over other people around me telling me what's wrong with me, and I really want to give that control back to people.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution HERE https://peri-revolution.com/ Use code ENERGIZED and get $100 on your first CAROL Bike order https://carolbike.pxf.io/GK3LaE Use code THRIVE15 and get 15% off on your Berkeley Life order https://berkeleylife.pxf.io/Vxvdja RogersHood Website → Order the ParaFy Parasite cleanse kit HERE!

Today we're talking about something so many of you ask me about trying to conceive while breastfeeding, without weaning. This is one of the most common questions I get from mamas who still have a little one nursing, but feel that God has placed another child on their heart. And maybe you feel torn… like, “Is it selfish to want another baby when I already have this precious one in my arms?” Hear me: You are not torn between two callings. Your calling is motherhood. And desiring to grow your family does not mean you love your current children any less.

Send us a textIn this week's Life of Love, Julie welcomes integrative health practitioner and high-achieving-woman, Chelsea McLeod. Together they pull back the curtain on the divine feminine, hormone health, and how to listen when your body is whispering (or screaming) for a different way.Chelsea shares her personal story of overachieving, chronic stress, a traumatic family event, and finally being diagnosed with PCOS and type 2 diabetes in her 20s — then choosing a path of true healing instead of numbing. She and Julie explore how our culture trains women to hang their worth on output, ignore their cycles, and normalize symptoms that are actually big hormonal red flags. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}You'll hear about:- Chelsea's journey from competitive athlete and corporate hustler to hormone healer- Why 4 out of 5 women may be dealing with hormonal imbalance without realizing it- Symptoms that are common **but not normal**: night waking, crazy PMS, bloating, hair loss, constipation, anxiety, feeling “fluffy,” infertility diagnoses, and more- How our industrial food system, chemicals, and seed oils quietly disrupt your hormones- The simple practice of becoming a “package turner” and reading labels with discernment- Easy daily tracking to understand your hormones: - energy check-ins through the day - mood swings - sleep quality and 2–3 a.m. wakeups - menstrual cycle patterns- How heart rate variability and resting heart rate can reflect your stress resilience- Using the phases of your cycle to guide workouts, social plans, and productivity (instead of fighting yourself)- Honoring your bleed, seeing menstruation as sacred, and bringing ritual back into everyday life- What it looks like to claim your divinity and step out of survival mode as a sovereign woman**Key Takeaways**- It's not you being “lazy” or “dramatic” — it's often your hormones trying to get your attention. - Common symptoms are not the same as *normal*. Your body is designed to feel good. - Healing hormones is a skill set, not a quick fix. You can learn it over time. - Your cycle is one of your greatest superpowers once you know how to work with it. - Resting, especially around your bleed and in your luteal phase, is not weakness — it's strategy. - You don't have to burn yourself out to be valuable. Your divinity doesn't depend on your productivity.**Favorite Quotes**- “Women don't need more hacks, we need habits and skills.” – Chelsea - “No, you don't ‘fix' your hormones. You *heal* your hormones.” – Julie - “Sometimes we need to ritualize the mundane to reconnect with our feminine energy.” – Chelsea - “No one else is going to crown you. Your divinity is yours to claim.” – Julie If this conversation lands in your heart, that's your sign. Share it with a friend, revisit it around your next cycle, and let it be a loving reminder that you are not broken — you are divine, and your body is always speaking with you.Support the showLink to Support this Channel: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2153284/supporters/newJulie's Book: https://amzn.to/3K2ZS05Julie's Website for more information, comments or requests: https://lifeofloveandjoy.comI receive a small commission when you purchase from these links.

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!

The Period Paradox: Why We're Still in the Dark About Sex and Menstruation Let's face it: periods and sex are still major taboos in our society. But why? Join us as we dive into the fascinating world of menstrual cycles, hormones, and sex with the incredible Dr. Sarah E. Hill, author of the groundbreaking book "The Period Brain." We're about to shed some much-needed light on the secrets our bodies have been keeping from us. Here's what you'll learn from this unapologetic conversation: • The real reason we call it a "period" (and why it's not just about bleeding) • The shocking truth about why the luteal phase has been ignored by science and medicine (and how it affects your sex life) • How menstrual cycles impact your sexual desire (it's not just about being "hormonal") • Tips for having mind-blowing sex during the luteal phase (yes, it's possible, even when you're feeling meh) • How to navigate PMS like a pro (no more excuses for bad moods or bad sex) • Advice for partners who want to be more supportive (we've got you, boo) By tuning in, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between periods, hormones, and sex. You'll also learn how to break free from the shame and stigma surrounding menstrual cycles and tap into your full sexual potential. So, what are you waiting for? Join the conversation and get ready to unleash your inner period power! As Dr. Hill says, "The problem isn't that women are hormonal; the problem is that we've been ignoring the second half of the menstrual cycle for far too long." It's time to change that. Dr. Sarah E. Hill is an award-winning researcher, professor, speaker, and consultant who's on a mission to uncover the hidden truths about women's sex hormones. With two paradigm-shattering books under her belt, "This is Your Brain on Birth Control" and "The Period Brain," she's the perfect guide to help you navigate the wild world of periods and sex.

We've been taught that "good women" keep up with their Pap smears, mammograms, and hormone therapy. But what if those routines (sold as prevention) are actually creating stress in the body's terrain? In this episode, I break down how each of these pillars of women's healthcare functions on a biological level, what they miss, and how to reclaim your health sequence: drainage before detection, regulation before replacement, resilience before results. This is prevention through sovereignty, not compliance. Hosted by Leanne Vogel.
