What are some definitions of perimenopause, menopause, and post menopause? (27:30) The gut is important for hormonal health because it helps break down hormones for use in the body. Vinnie shares a story about his Mom and why the idea of hormones doesn't always sit well with him. (32:00) There is a difference between birth control pills and the bioidentical hormones of today. Hormones play a significant role in multiple organ systems, including the heart, bones, and brain. Is testosterone replacement necessary for men or women?

Hey Heal Squad! It's Throwback Thursday and we're bringing back a conversation with hormone expert Alisa Vitti that so many of you still ask about, especially when it comes to perimenopause, menopause, and feeling “off” in your body. Maria and Alisa get into what's really happening with your hormones during these phases (from energy dips and mood swings to brain fog, weight changes, and sleep issues) and why so many women are told it's “just part of aging” when it doesn't have to be. Alisa also breaks down how your cycle (and the loss of it) impacts how you should be eating, working out, and structuring your day, and why doing the same routine every day can actually work against you. Plus, simple shifts to start supporting your body in a way that actually makes you feel better. It's a really eye-opening conversation that will help you understand your body on a much deeper level!

In this episode of Perimenopause Simplified, Claudia gets real about one of the most common habits sabotaging women's health after 40. If you've been struggling with fatigue, mood swings, brain fog, stubborn weight, or poor sleep, your diet—not just your hormones—might be the missing piece. Tune in to learn: Why undereating slows your thyroid and metabolism How skipping meals and relying on coffee alone can mess with your hormones The link between under-fueling, blood sugar swings, and insulin resistance (even if you're thin) Why many women lose their appetite in the morning (hint: cortisol + burnout) Simple, efficient meal prep tips to fuel your body with real food Claudia's favorite quick protein options  Stop trying to supplement or test your way out of an underfed body; this episode is your wake-up call!

If fat loss feels like a constant battle, it's likely not a discipline issue — it's a physiology issue. In this episode, we break down how inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and chronic stress can block fat loss, even when you're doing "everything right." Join us as we dive into functional fat loss — a smarter, more sustainable approach to losing fat by addressing the root cause instead of forcing restriction. We unpack why the traditional calories in vs. calories out approach doesn't work the same in stressed or dysregulated bodies, and how factors like inflammation, cortisol, insulin resistance, thyroid function, and nervous system stress directly impact your ability to lose fat. You'll learn why many women feel stuck despite eating less and exercising more, and why fat loss often becomes easier — not harder — when you focus on regulating your body first. We also walk you through a 3-step functional fat loss framework to help you lose fat and keep it off long-term. If you've been stuck in cycles of dieting, burnout, or "white-knuckling" your way through fat loss, this episode will help you understand what's actually going on in your body — and what to do instead.   Key Takeaways • Fat loss resistance is often a physiology problem, not a willpower problem • Lowering inflammation and stress can lead to fat loss before dieting • Sustainable fat loss happens when you regulate, repair, then reduce   Chapters 00:00 — Functional Fat Loss Explained: Why Weight Loss Feels So Hard 06:30 — Calories In vs. Calories Out (Why It Stops Working) 12:00 — Metabolism, Hunger Hormones & Energy Adaptation 18:00 — Inflammation vs. Fat: What You're Really Holding Onto 25:30 — Cortisol, Insulin Resistance & Thyroid Function 34:00 — Why Dieting Increases Stress & Blocks Fat Loss 41:00 — Signs Your Body Is Not Ready for Fat Loss 47:30 — The 3-Step Functional Fat Loss Framework 55:00 — Why Most People Regain Weight After Dieting 01:02:00 — How to Lose Fat & Keep It Off for Good   Want to Work With Us?

Dr. Natalie Crawford breaks down the profound, often overlooked connection between what ends up on your dinner plate and the cellular environment where life begins. As a former nutrition major and a fertility specialist who navigated her own complex path to parenthood, she moves past the basic food is fuel talk to show how your gut acts as the primary gatekeeper for your hormones. This conversation is for anyone who wants to stop feeling like a passenger in their own reproductive health and start using evidence-based nutrition to quiet the inflammation that could be standing in the way of their future family. What You'll Learn: The specific interaction between your intestinal lining and the bloodstream that can turn your body's defense system into a silent hijacker of reproductive success. Why a common metabolic salesman knocking at your cellular door might be the hidden reason behind poor embryo quality and ovulation struggles. The misunderstood relationship between plant-based fiber and the specific gut enzymes responsible for regulating your estrogen levels. How certain high-fat dairy choices and complex carbohydrate swaps act as biological signals to optimize your progesterone production. The way your daily hydration habits and evening routines collaborate with your gut microbiome to either fuel or extinguish chronic systemic inflammation.

What if your hormone imbalance has nothing to do with your hormones and everything to do with the light in your house? Health detective and certified quantum biology practitioner Sarah Kleiner joins us to break down one of the most underconversed topics in women's midlife health: how your light environment is directly disrupting your hormones, your metabolism, your thyroid, your gut, and your sleep... and what you can actually do about it today. Sarah shares her deeply personal journey through irregular cycles, two miscarriages, two failed IVF rounds, and eventually a successful pregnancy at 43, all made possible by rebuilding her health from the circadian rhythm up. She explains why going carnivore helped and then hurt her, how artificial light at night is functionally the same as not sleeping, and why estrogen dominance might actually be a lighting problem. We also dig into the nuanced conversation around HRT: the peer pressure to do it, the risks of doing it without understanding your detox pathways and genetics, and why both "HRT causes cancer" and "HRT doesn't cause cancer" are incomplete statements. Sarah's philosophy? Fix the terrain first, then make an informed decision. If you have ever felt like you are doing everything right and still not feeling well, this episode will give you a new lens to look through and a clear place to start.   Learn More About Sarah Kleiner Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/SarahKleinerWellness Website ➜  https://SarahKleinerWellness.com  Thank you to our show sponsors!

If you've ever felt like your body changed overnight, your brain got foggy, your emotions got louder, and nobody handed you a manual for what the hell was happening… this episode is going to hit.In this conversation, Marina sits down with Joyce — nurse, women's health advocate, and founder of Rejoiceful Living — for a real, unfiltered talk about perimenopause, hormone shifts, invisible symptoms, and what happens when a woman stops dismissing what she feels and starts building a mission around it.What makes this episode so powerful is that Joyce isn't speaking from theory. She's lived it. After 20 years in nursing and her own brutal experience with perimenopause, she realized how many women were being dismissed, underprepared, and flat-out confused by what was happening in their bodies. So instead of staying stuck, she built a brand, a program, and a resource hub to help women feel informed, supported, and empowered again.This is also a deeper conversation about what happens when a woman stops trying to fit into a business model that doesn't light her up… and starts building a brand around what she's actually called to do.What You'll LearnWhy so many women think they're “losing it” when they may actually be dealing with perimenopauseThe symptoms nobody warned us about — from brain fog and inflammation to sleep issues and mood shiftsHow estrogen impacts way more than periods and fertilityWhy women are often underprepared for this phase of life compared to pregnancy and postpartumHow Joyce used her own struggle and 20 years of nursing experience to create an offer that actually servesWhat symptom tracking can reveal before you ever step into a doctor's officeHow to advocate for yourself so you don't get dismissed or gaslit by providersThe difference between trying to sell a product… and building a mission-led personal brandWhat Joyce built in just nine months inside Brand Me On DemandHow clarity creates confidence when you finally know who you help and how you help themKey Moments / Timestamp Outline0:00 — Marina's honest intro: no script, no prep, just a real conversation2:00 — Joyce shares her personal experience with perimenopause and why this mission matters6:00 — Marina opens up about early menopause symptoms and feeling completely unprepared9:00 — The overlooked symptoms women don't realize are connected to hormone shifts14:00 — Brain fog, inflammation, stress, and the compounding effect of hormone changes18:00 — Why women are overprepared for birth… and wildly underprepared for perimenopause23:00 — Hormone replacement, provider resistance, and advocating for your health28:00 — How Joyce turned her experience into a real offer and support portal for women33:00 — What it looks like to work with Joyce and where women should start first38:00 — Insulin resistance, inflammation, weight gain, and why “eat less, move more” isn't the whole story45:00 — The authority piece: why Joyce's nursing background changes everything50:00 — Everything Joyce built in nine months while working full time57:00 — The confidence shift that happens when your brand finally matches your mission1:02:00 — Why Joyce is now known as “the menopause lady” and why that branding is genius1:05:00 — Final encouragement for the woman who knows she's called to moreFavorite Soundbites / Pull Quotes“I thought I was having a mental breakdown… and it was perimenopause.”“Midlife women deserve more.”“Small changes have a compounding effect.”“You are not gonna know in a 24-hour period what's bothering you the most.”“I help them know what to say so they don't get gaslit or dismissed.”“It's not about trying to look skinny. It's about trying to stay healthy for longevity.”“You're not just out there selling a perimenopause course. You've lived this.”“I know what I'm talking about. I know who I'm talking to. I'm not for everyone, and that's okay.”“I have purpose each day.

The Real Reason You're Exhausted, Anxious & InflamedAre you exhausted, anxious, inflamed, or just don't feel like yourself anymore—yet your doctor says your labs are "normal"? You are not alone, and more importantly, you are not broken.In this episode of Transparent with Tina, host Tina Marx sits down with systems restoration expert Elizabeth Grace, founder of The Rooted Queen Method. Elizabeth is a functional medicine practitioner and therapist who helps high-capacity women uncover the deeper regulatory patterns driving burnout, hormonal chaos, and chronic inflammation.Tina and Elizabeth have a raw, eye-opening conversation about why traditional medicine treats symptoms in "silos" and what it really takes to heal the body as a whole ecosystem.In this episode, we discuss:Why your symptoms (anxiety, gut issues, fatigue) are intelligent messages, not failures.The truth about "normal" lab ranges and why they miss the root cause.Understanding the nervous system ladder: What it means to live in "Stay and Play" vs. "Fight, Flight, Freeze."How your nervous system drives gut health, hormones, and even your identity.Why you can't "think" or "will" your way out of a disregulated nervous system.The four biggest drivers of dysregulation: Hormones, Limbic System, Nervous System, and Purpose.Elizabeth's personal story of healing herself despite having all the education.A powerful spiritual moment with angel numbers (3:33) and why purpose is non-negotiable for health.If you are tired of quick fixes and want to finally understand what's really going on in your body, this episode is your roadmap back to yourself.#TransparentWithTina #NervousSystemRegulation #RootedQueen #HolisticHealth #FunctionalMedicine #HormoneHealth #BurnoutRecovery #WomensHealth

Hormones shift, metabolism adapts, nutrient needs increase, and your nervous system recalibrates in ways most women are never fully prepared for. And after birth, the postpartum phase can be one of the most overlooked and underserved stages of a woman's health. In this episode, I answer your most common questions, including: • How to choose the right prenatal vitamins—including why methylated folate matters and the difference between folate and folic acid • Natural ways to manage common pregnancy symptoms like nausea, heartburn, sciatica, and fatigue • Key nutrition strategies during pregnancy to support both mother and baby • What happens during postpartum—from hormone and thyroid shifts to hair loss, immune changes, pelvic floor recovery, and C-section healing Pregnancy and postpartum aren't separate events—they're part of a continuous biological transition that affects hormones, metabolism, and overall health. The goal isn't perfection. It's understanding what your body is going through and supporting it with the right nutrients, habits, and care so you can recover, rebuild, and thrive.

What if the reason so many women feel stuck with weight loss is not a lack of discipline, but a mix of chronic dieting, inflammation, hormone disruption, gut issues, and low hormones? In this episode, Ben Azadi sits down with hormone and metabolism specialist Becca Chilczenkowski to unpack the real drivers behind weight loss resistance in women. Becca explains why years of under-eating can create a deeper inflammatory and immune problem, how birth control may contribute to deficiencies and hormone dysfunction, and why toxin exposure, poor diet variation, and low hormones can all make fat loss harder. She also shares her personal story of losing her cycle, overtraining, binge eating, and looking healthy on the outside while feeling metabolically broken on the inside. This conversation goes far beyond calories in versus calories out and focuses on what the female body actually needs to heal. Key Topics Covered Why chronic dieting can create inflammation, oxidative stress, and deeper metabolic dysfunction How under-eating can be harder to fix than over-eating The connection between birth control, nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, and autoimmune risk Why low libido, low mood, and weight gain are common after long-term birth control use How toxins and estrogen exposure can block hormone signaling and fat loss Why air, water, and daily product exposure matter more than most people realize How eating the same foods over and over can reduce gut diversity and stall progress Why diet variation and metabolic flexibility matter for women How low hormones, especially in perimenopause and menopause, can drive weight loss resistance Why symptoms often matter more than standard lab ranges The most useful lab markers and hormone markers to review in a functional health setting A five-step plan for reducing inflammation, improving metabolism, and supporting fat loss Why stress, gratitude, nervous system support, and daily habits all matter for healing Five-Step Plan Becca Recommends Address foundational stressors and create daily de-stressing practices such as gratitude, prayer, grounding, or time in nature. Build awareness around nutrition by tracking food, protein, fats, carbs, and blood sugar patterns. Get comprehensive labs done and review them through a functional lens, not just a disease-based lens. Plan your year with intention, using periods of feeding, fasting, ketosis, training, and recovery strategically. If you are struggling, work with a qualified practitioner who can shorten the time it takes to heal.

Hey team! This week, I'm talking with Dr. Anupriya Gogne, a psychiatrist at Brown University Health in Rhode Island. Dr. Gonge works at the crossroads of addiction psychiatry and neurodevelopmental disorders, with a specific focus on treating ADHD during pregnancy and the postpartum period. She's dedicated to clearing up the misinformation surrounding medication safety during pregnancy, which can be seen in her book, Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Adult Women: Special Considerations in the Perinatal Period. In our conversation, we dive into why hormonal fluctuations turn ADHD symptoms into a "perfect storm," the actual science behind "mom brain," and why your internal systems for keeping your life together tend to implode the moment a baby enters the picture. We also get into the nuances of how ADHD presents in women versus men, specifically regarding internal hyperactivity and emotional regulation. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/281 YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/y835cnrk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HackingYourADHD This Episode's Top Tips When ADHD symptoms suddenly appear or worsen, it's often not because the brain has changed, but rather that the environment's demands have finally exceeded the brain's compensatory systems. When life transitions occur, such as having a child, external chaos disrupts the systems that previously helped keep the ADHD in check. Chronic sleep deprivation isn't just being tired; it's also a failure of the memory consolidation system. While we are in deep sleep, our brain is encoding the day's events. If you aren't getting those stages, your working memory cannot function properly. These memory issues then compound with ADHD symptoms which can make it feel like you are experiencing early-onset dementia. In many adults, and especially in women, hyperactivity often isn't physical; instead, it's mental. It can manifest as negative self-talk on a loop, racing thoughts, or just feel like you have too many tabs open in your brain. Shifting the mental model to see internal ruminating as a form of hyperactivity helps identify the need for mental breaks rather than just physical outlets.

In this episode, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof are joined in person by Dr. Lovey Bradley, NSI certified practitioner, BrainBased facilitator, and facilitator of the NSI BIPOC Affinity Group. Together they examine how racial stress and systemic oppression live in the body, how they shape nervous system patterns across generations, and what post-traumatic growth actually requires when the environment itself keeps activating survival. Dr. Lovey opens by sharing what brought her to this conversation, including a moment of messaging Elisabeth out of frustration, asking why race still has to be such a defining factor, and what it would take to start breaking those walls down. The answer they keep returning to: it starts with having the conversations. From there the episode moves into the physiology of racial stress, how chronic exposure to discrimination activates the HPA axis, elevates cortisol, suppresses progesterone, and drives the specific health disparities that show up disproportionately in melanated bodies, including fibroids, endometriosis, heart disease, hypertension, and chronic pain. Dr. Lovey names what she sees in the women she works with and connects those physical realities directly to suppressed expression, ancestral stress load, and the specific demands placed on bodies that have never had the systemic safety to soften. Elisabeth grounds the conversation in current research including the work of Resmaa Menakem on embodied racial trauma and Tema Okun's writing on white supremacy culture, which she connects directly to nervous system dysregulation rather than personality or ideology. The episode also traces how cultural conditioning normalizes threat-based behaviors like urgency, perfectionism, and emotional repression as efficiency or success, and what that means for everyone living inside those systems. Dr. Lovey also shares the story of how she accidentally created a healing community for melanated women after a single post went viral in a Facebook group, and what the response revealed about the collective hunger for real, unperformed connection. Topics Covered How racism functions as a chronic threat signal that reshapes the nervous system, not just belief or behavior What the HPA axis, cortisol, and progesterone have to do with racial stress and women's health outcomes How suppressed expression contributes to physical disease in melanated bodies What Resmaa Menakem's framework adds to neuro somatic approaches to racialized trauma Why white supremacy culture traits like urgency and perfectionism map directly onto chronic stress behaviors How the urgency to fix or regulate can itself become a form of bypassing in healing spaces What post-traumatic growth looks like at a collective level, not just an individual one Why witnessing state violence on social media is a genuine nervous system stressor, even for those not directly targeted How Dr. Levy's community for melanated women came to life and what it is building toward Chapter Markers 0:00 - Why This Conversation Had to Happen 01:57 - Welcome: Racial Trauma, the Nervous System, and Post-Traumatic Growth 07:25 - What Racial Stress Looks Like in the Body, for White and Melanated Bodies 10:44 - Post-Traumatic Growth at the Collective Level: What It Actually Requires 15:35 - The Danger of Regulating Out of Activation Before the Cycle Completes 18:09 - The Neuroscience: HPA Axis, Allostatic Load, and Chronic Racial Threat 24:27 - How Racial Stress Shows Up in Hormones, Cycles, and Women's Health 29:25 - Resmaa Menakem, White Supremacy Culture, and the Nervous System 38:42 - Dr. Levy's Community for Melanated Women and What It Is Building 41:35 - Witnessing Violence at Scale: What It Does to All Nervous Systems 49:11 - What This Work Has Made Possible: Dr. Levy on Choosing to Create a Different World 51:59 - Closing Reflection: What Post-Traumatic Growth Requires of Us Collectively Ways to Engage with Neurosomatics: Neurosomatic Intelligence is now enrolling : https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/nsi-certification Join us for a two week trial of neurosomatic practices at rewiretrial.com Free BrainBased neurosomatic workshop for entrepreneurs at rewirecapacity.com Sacred Synapse: an educational YouTube channel founded by Jennifer Wallace that explores nervous system regulation, applied neuroscience, consciousness, and psychedelic preparation and integration through Neurosomatic Intelligence.  Wayfinder Journal: Track nervous system patterns and support preparation and integration through Neurosomatic Intelligence.

I'll be honest, this episode felt a little different to record - a little exciting, and a little nerve-wracking. Because instead of focusing on the usual physical side of your hormones, I'm going deeper into something we don't talk about as often: the emotional and especially spiritual roots behind symptoms like PMS, hormone imbalance, and low libido.I talk a lot about food, minerals, gut health, and detox on this podcast. And those things matter. But sometimes the reason symptoms linger isn't just physical. Our health is deeply connected to the emotions we carry. From subtle victim-mindset patterns to long-held (shame-filled) beliefs about our bodies, sexuality, and identity as women, these patterns can keep our nervous system in stress mode and influence how our bodies function.In this episode, you'll hear about:The mindset patterns many high-functioning women fall into without realizing itA group of hidden emotions that can quietly show up as physical symptomsWhy prayer, reflection, and emotional healing can influence symptoms like PMS and libido more than we expectI also share a personal moment where prayer helped me recognize emotional roots I had been holding onto and how releasing them shifted what I felt in my body almost immediately.If you've never thought about your hormones through this lens before, this conversation may feel both surprising and liberating.Nourish Tracker - Discount code: HAPPILYHORMONALBook a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meGrab your Happily Hormonal Quick Start GuideNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

Board-certified physician Dr. Heather Hirsch on the symptoms of perimenopause, hormonal therapies, and what women need to know about this often misunderstood stage of life. In this conversation, we explore common perimenopause symptoms—including anxiety, insomnia, mood changes, brain fog, and shifts in energy and why these hormonal changes in women are often mistaken for depression or anxiety disorders. Dr. Hirsch explains what happens to estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone during perimenopause, when this transition typically begins, and how menopausal hormone therapy may help some women feel like themselves again.  Get her book: The Perimenopause Survival Guide: Make Sense of Your Symptoms and Build Your Personalized Treatment Plan Listen to: The TRUTH About Menopause: Symptoms, Solutions & Finding the Gifts in Midlife! with Tamsen Fadal LINKS AND RESOURCES Support the podcast by making a donation (suggested amount $15) 732-763-2576 call to leave a voicemail.  info@authenticparenting.com Send audio messages using Speakpipe.

If you feel like you've tried everything for your hormones… and nothing seems to stick, this episode is for you. Supplements. Diet changes. Gut protocols. Hormone support. Stress management. You do the research, follow the plan, and maybe feel better for a little while. But eventually the symptoms come back. That's because most women are treating symptoms instead of identifying the underlying hormone pattern driving them. And until you identify that pattern, it's easy to keep chasing solutions that only work temporarily. In this episode, I explain why hormone protocols often stop working and how to start identifying the real patterns behind hormone imbalance. In This Episode • Why treating symptoms alone rarely fixes hormone issues • The difference between root cause and recurring hormone patterns • Why probiotics and gut supplements often miss the real issue • How constipation and gut dysfunction can recycle estrogen in the body • How cortisol, progesterone, estrogen, and gut health all interact • Why hormone programs that worked years ago may stop working now Many women assume they have estrogen dominance or a gut issue when the real driver may actually be stress hormones or cortisol dysfunction. And until that primary pattern is addressed, everything else becomes guesswork. Join the Hormone & Gut Pattern Identification Workshop If you want help identifying the actual hormone or gut pattern driving your symptoms, I'm hosting a live workshop where we break this down step-by-step. In this 90-minute workshop, you'll learn how to: • Identify your dominant hormone or gut pattern • Understand why previous protocols didn't work • Learn which system needs to be stabilized first • Know which labs actually confirm what's happening in your body • Stop stacking random supplements and guessing

The internet has made health and fitness more accessible than ever… but it's also made it way more confusing. In this episode of Level Up With Sharelle and Dani, we break down some of the biggest nutrition myths circulating online right now and why they're misleading so many people. We talk about: • The truth about hormones and fat loss • Why carbs don't make you fat (and why your body actually needs them) • The myth that eating after a certain time causes weight gain • How overly rigid nutrition rules can create more stress than progress The reality? Most people don't need extreme diets or complicated protocols. They need to focus on the basics. Consistent training. Balanced nutrition. Sleep. Recovery. And a strategy that actually fits their life. If you've ever felt confused by the constant stream of nutrition advice online, this episode will help you filter through the noise.

Most people think lifting weights is about aesthetics or performance. But the real power of strength training goes far beyond what you see in the mirror. Muscle and bone are protective tissues that regulate metabolism, support brain health, maintain hormonal balance, and keep us resilient as we age.In this episode, TC and Chris Nicole break down the science behind strength training and longevity. You'll learn:How contracting muscle acts as a metabolic and endocrine organ, releasing myokines that influence metabolism, inflammation, brain function, and fat tissueWhy strength declines faster than muscle size, and how sarcopenia affects men and women differentlyThe truth about hormone spikes during heavy lifting — and why receptor sensitivity is often more important than absolute hormone levelsHow bones respond to mechanical load, plus insights from the LIFTMOR trial on high-intensity resistance training for postmenopausal womenPractical strategies for training smart, staying strong, and maintaining independence as you ageWhether you lift for aesthetics, performance, or health, this episode shows why muscle isn't just decoration - it's protection.

Why does weight loss feel harder with age—even when we "do everything right"? In this episode, award-winning health journalist Julia Belluz challenges the calorie-centric narrative of weight control and explains how metabolism, hormones, food environments, and ultra-processed foods shape how—and why—we eat. This conversation reframes weight, aging, and health through evidence rather than diet dogma.For decades, we've been told that weight control is simply a matter of discipline: eat less, move more, and the scale will comply. Yet for many people—especially as they age—this advice fails repeatedly, leading to frustration, guilt, and confusion. Midlife and beyond bring hormonal shifts, metabolic adaptation, and increasing exposure to highly engineered food environments. Understanding why our bodies resist weight loss—and how our environment pushes us toward overeating—is essential for protecting healthspan rather than blaming ourselves for biology. My guest, Julia Belluz, is an award-winning health and science journalist, New York Times opinion contributor, and co-author of Food Intelligence, written with metabolic researcher Kevin Hall. Together, they unpack decades of misunderstood nutrition science and explain what actually drives hunger, metabolism, and eating behavior.Listeners will learn why metabolism slows as a response—not a cause—of weight loss, what The Biggest Loser study revealed about long-term metabolic adaptation, how hormones interact with ultra-processed foods, and why environment often overrides conscious food choices.

Today, I'm thrilled to reconnect with my friend and colleague, Dr. Carrie Jones. She is a naturopathic physician and hormone expert with over 20 years of clinical experience in women's health and endocrinology. In our discussion, we unpack the limitations of traditional hormone testing and explore the benefits of saliva, urine, and blood testing for gaining a more accurate picture of hormone activity. We explore the critical importance of lab timing and how the DUTCH test evaluates estrogen, metabolism, and cortisol rhythms. We also examine how liver detoxification affects the active form of thyroid hormone, T3, across phases one through three, highlight signs and symptoms that indicate an imbalanced gut microbiome, and wrap things up with some rapid-fire questions about the things you've probably wanted to ask. Stay tuned for another invaluable, humorous, and fun conversation with Dr. Carrie Jones. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How blood tests give only a snapshot in time without clarifying hormone pulses or tissue utilization How testing hormones at the wrong time can temporarily skew test results The optimal timing for testing in women with regular cycles and those in perimenopause What the DUTCH test measures How regular vs. irregular cycles affect which hormones should be tested Why the way that estrogen is metabolized matters more than the estrogen itself  How phases one, two, and three of liver detoxification influence estrogen, cortisol, and thyroid hormone activity Why free T3 is critical for eliminating cortisol What gut symptoms reveal about hormone elimination Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community: The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow  Cynthia's Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!

Vaginal dryness, recurrent infections, low libido...why are we told this is "just hormones" and something we have to tolerate? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Betsy Greenleaf, founder of the International Pause Institute, and we unpack what's really happening down there during perimenopause and menopause. Could your symptoms be tied to your gut? Your brain? Your stress levels? We dive deep into the vaginal microbiome and why so many women struggle with yeast infections, UTIs, and painful sex—sometimes for years. Is estrogen the whole answer? Why do probiotics sometimes fail? And how could your libido be connected to bacteria and the vagus nerve? We also explore cutting-edge regenerative therapies—from red light wands to lasers to exosomes—and have an honest conversation about stress, sex, and why self-care isn't optional if you want your hormones to work. If more than half of menopausal women experience urogenital symptoms, why aren't we talking about this sooner? And what can you start doing now to protect your future self? In this episode, we uncover: How the gut and vaginal microbiome influence each other. Why estrogen loss changes vaginal pH and bacterial balance. What really causes recurrent UTIs and yeast infections. How stress can shut down libido and hormone function. What regenerative therapies can rebuild vaginal tissue naturally.

Longevity has been on my mind a lot lately.This past weekend was the Arnold Classic. You look at those guys on the IFBB stage — absolutely massive human beings — and there's no denying the level of discipline and work that goes into that. But it also highlights something important: enhanced bodybuilding and natural bodybuilding are essentially two completely different sports.When people say “the highest level,” they're usually referring to the Mr. Olympia or Arnold stage. And sure, if you're competing in enhanced bodybuilding, that's the top of the mountain. But I'm not playing that sport. I'm competing in natural bodybuilding, and the highest level there is winning Worlds. Two totally different arenas, two totally different priorities.And when you start looking at it through the lens of longevity, things get even clearer.I had a client compete at the Arnold this weekend — Janis — who is 70 years old. Natural athlete. Keto. She went out there and broke world records in the squat, bench, deadlift, and total. At seventy years old.That, to me, is winning on a whole different level.Most people at 70 can barely carry groceries. They're using walkers and canes. Meanwhile she's pulling over 300 pounds off the floor and planning to keep doing it for as long as she possibly can. That's the kind of outcome I want to stack the chips in favor of.Because the question isn't just how high you can climb for a brief moment.The real question is how long you can perform at a high level.Natural bodybuilding, done properly, gives you that runway. When you prioritize nutrition, progressive overload, recovery, and discipline, you're building a system that supports your body for decades. You can keep improving year after year. You don't have to peak in your 20s and then watch everything fall apart.I plan on competing for a long time. I've got my sights set on winning Worlds in 2027, but whether that happens or not, the cool thing about natural bodybuilding is that you can keep showing up. You can keep getting better. You can keep pushing the needle forward.That's the long game.We also talked about some of the biggest mistakes people make with fat loss. The internet loves to throw around the advice “eat less, move more.” And technically, sure — that's not wrong. But practically speaking, it often misses the bigger picture.A lot of people who hit plateaus aren't eating too much. They're actually chronically under-eating. They're running on fumes, walking 30,000 steps a day, barely consuming a thousand calories, and wondering why their body refuses to drop more weight.At that point the metabolism is suppressed. Hormones are downregulated. Recovery is shot.That's why I'm such a big believer in structured building and cutting phases. When you spend time in a surplus and allow your metabolism to ramp up, you create more runway for fat loss later. When you finally drop calories, your body actually responds.You can't stay in a deficit forever.You have to play the long game — just like everything else.The Tribe is gearing up for a three-day fast, and we've got a bunch of conferences and travel coming up this year. Meatstock, Low Carb for Better Health, Hack Your Health — lots of opportunities to connect with the community and keep spreading the message.At the end of the day, everything comes back to the same principle.What can you do today to stack the chips in your favor so that you can operate at a high level for the longest possible time?That's the game I'm playing.And honestly, I think it's the only game worth playing.Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ

Welcome to the SYNC Your Life podcast episode #352! On this podcast, we will be diving into all things women's hormones to help you learn how to live in alignment with your female physiology. Too many women are living with their check engine lights flashing. You know you feel "off" but no matter what you do, you can't seem to have the energy, or lose the weight, or feel your best. This podcast exists to shed light on the important topic of healthy hormones and cycle syncing, to help you gain maximum energy in your life.  In today's episode, I dive into the topic of doomscrolling on our phones, and the impacts it has on our hormones and nervous system.

Feeling like even the smallest things are suddenly overwhelming you?  This is actually part of a much bigger hormonal and neurological shift happening beneath the surface.  In today's episode, I'm covering one of the most common—and least talked about—midlife experiences: the brain-related changes that come with perimenopause.  Even women who experience few classic symptoms like hot flashes are still undergoing silent physiological changes affecting the brain, bones, muscles, metabolism, and cardiovascular health.  We explore why perimenopause can be a destabilizing but deeply transformative recalibration where everything from hormones to lifestyle habits comes up for review.  So I'm breaking down simple daily habits you can start right away to support your brain, stabilize your energy, and reduce overwhelm without adding more to your already full plate.  Ready to clear the fog and feel like yourself again in midlife? Tune in here for the science-backed tools to start today.

Why do some women suddenly feel more anxious, more emotional, more exhausted, or just not like themselves during certain seasons of life? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Greg Mongeon to talk about the very real connection between hormones, anxiety, stress, and perimenopause. This conversation is packed with insight for women who have been told their labs are “normal” while still feeling anything but normal. Dr. Greg shares his personal story, what led him into functional medicine, and why so many women are struggling with symptoms that are often overlooked, dismissed, or mislabeled. We talk about the role of the nervous system, the gut-brain connection, stress, liver health, hormone shifts, and why symptoms should never be ignored just because a lab value falls in the “normal” range. In this episode, we discuss: Why anxiety can intensify during perimenopause The difference between “normal” and optimal lab work How stress and nervous system dysregulation can affect hormones Why the gut, liver, and thyroid matter so much in hormone health The problem with one-size-fits-all wellness advice online Why so many women feel dismissed in traditional healthcare settings The truth about bioidentical hormones vs synthetic hormone therapy How to advocate for yourself when you know something feels off This episode is for the woman who feels like her body has changed, her mind feels more reactive, her cycle feels different, and she's tired of being told everything is fine when it clearly doesn't feel fine. More than anything, this conversation is about hope.Hope that your symptoms are not “all in your head.”Hope that there may be deeper answers.And hope that you are not broken. Dr. Greg's goal is simple: to help people feel seen, understood, and supported while getting to the root of what's really going on. Follow Dr. Greg:Links mentioned in the episode will be included in the show notes. If this episode helped you, be sure to share it with a friend, send it to another woman who needs to hear it, and tag us when you listen. Don't forget to rate and review The Chicks!
