Podcasts about hormones

The peptide industry just hit $328 million in imports from China in nine months, and the fastest-growing buyers aren't bodybuilders. They're women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who were told their labs look "fine" when they know something is deeply wrong.In this episode, I break down why peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 are being aggressively marketed to women in perimenopause, why there isn't a single randomized controlled trial proving they're safe or effective in humans, and what the actual evidence says about brain fog, muscle loss, joint pain, and metabolic decline. I explore why the "your bloods are normal" dismissal has destroyed women's health, how hormone replacement therapy actually protects your brain when timed correctly, why GLP-1s work when peptides don't, and what protein, sleep, and resistance training do that no research chemical can replicate, because the foundations of brain health will never trend on TikTok, but they're the only things backed by decades of rigorous science. *Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+: * https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/youtube-sales-page Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for evidence-based conversations at the intersection of brain science, longevity, and performance. *TOPICS DISCUSSED* 00:00 Intro: Why women are the fastest-growing peptide buyers 07:01 Perimenopause reality: why "your labs look fine" is destroying women's health 15:20 What peptides actually are and the missing human evidence 31:00 Quality control disasters and documented side effects 39:50 What actually works: resistance training, protein, and muscle preservation 44:30 Hormone replacement therapy and brain protection 51:14 GLP-1 receptor agonists: evidence-based use vs. gray market risks *Thank you to our sponsors* Caraway: https://carawayhome.com/neuro10 Timeline Mitopure: http://timeline.com/NEURO Function Health: https://www.functionhealth.com/tcm/louisanicola _______ I'm Louisa Nicola - clinical neurophysiologist - Alzheimer's prevention specialist - founder of Neuro Athletics.

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron dives deep into the concepts of longevity and aging well, discussing the importance of consistent health practices, the impact of diet culture, and the role of hormones and supplements. She emphasizes the significance of building muscle, maintaining good sleep hygiene, and simplifying nutrition to promote overall health and well-being as we age. Takeaways Longevity and aging well are becoming increasingly popular topics. Diet culture has fluctuated between body positivity and weight loss trends. Hormone replacement therapy is beneficial but not accessible to everyone. Consistency in health practices is more effective than quick fixes. Building muscle is crucial for longevity and reducing health risks. Sleep deprivation can significantly impact health and insulin sensitivity. Nutrition should focus on adequate protein and fiber intake. Fiber is essential for preventing colon cancer and regulating blood sugar. Dopamine-driven trends can distract from effective health practices. Boring health advice often yields the best long-term results. Sound bites "Longevity is everywhere right now." "Consistency in health practices is key." "Nutrition can be so simple, truly."

Mental health challenges are often an overlooked part of thyroid and autoimmune disease and that matters more than most people realize.This episode explores the connection between mental health and thyroid autoimmunity, and why symptoms like anxiety, low mood, or brain fog are often biologically influenced, not just emotional. I walk through how thyroid hormone imbalances, inflammation, and nervous system regulation can affect mental well-being, including the role of the gut. We also look at how chronic stress and trauma can contribute to both thyroid issues and mental health symptoms. The focus is on a balanced, whole-body approach that prioritizes safety, individuality, and root causes rather than quick fixes.Tune in to better understand why mental health symptoms are so common in thyroid and autoimmune disease and what that connection really means.Episode Timeline: 0:02 – Mental Health and Thyroid1:25 – Hormones and Neurotransmitters2:55 – Anxiety and Hyperthyroidism4:05 – Depression and Low Thyroid5:15 – Autoimmunity and Inflammation6:45 – Neuroinflammation Explained8:10 – Leaky Gut, Leaky Brain9:36 – Stress, Trauma, and Thyroid12:40 – Nervous System Regulation14:50 – Gut Health and Mood17:30 – Nutrients and Mental Health18:47 – Medications and Mood Effects21:20 – Whole-Body Healing Approach23:40 – Key Takeaways and Next StepsIf you want to subscribe to my free Healing Graves' Naturally newsletter visithttps://savemythyroid.com/GravesNewsletter Free resources for your thyroid healthGet your FREE Thyroid and Immune Health Restoration Action Points Checklist at SaveMyThyroidChecklist.comHigh-Quality Nutritional Supplements For Hyperthyroidism and Hashimoto' s Have you checked out my new ThyroSave supplement line?

If fat loss feels harder than it should and healing seems slow no matter what you try, the problem may not be your discipline. It may be your nervous system. In this conversation, I explain why a chronically dysregulated nervous system can block healing, fat loss, and hormone balance no matter how perfect your protocols look on paper.  Your body is always choosing survival first, and when it perceives constant stress, it will not prioritize digestion, repair, or metabolic efficiency. I walk you through how your brain interprets everyday stress the same way it would a life-or-death threat, keeping you stuck in fight or flight.  This is why cortisol stays elevated, inflammation lingers, and progress feels frustratingly slow. I break down why this isn't a mindset issue or a lack of discipline, but a physiological response rooted in your nervous system.  We dive into the role of the vagus nerve and how it connects your brain, gut, hormones, and stress response. I explain what vagal tone is and why improving it creates the conditions your body needs to feel safe enough to heal.  You'll learn simple, practical vagus nerve–supporting practices you can use daily without adding more overwhelm. We also talk about why these tools are supportive, not magical fixes, and how they enhance everything you're already doing. If you're dealing with stubborn fat loss, gut issues, thyroid challenges, or chronic stress, this episode lays the foundation you may be missing.  Nervous system regulation isn't optional or fluffy. It's essential. When your body feels safe, healing becomes possible. Time Stamps: (1:19) Lots of Things Going On(4:54) Getting Out Of Survival Mode(7:52) The Vagus Nerve(13:55) Strategies For Improving Your Nervous System---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Today's episode is one I've wanted to record for a while, because it sits at the center of almost every conversation I have with women week after week, inside the gym, inside coaching, and inside long term mentorship. Women come in asking about fat loss, hormones, digestion, energy. They want a better look at their labs they'd love for them to be explained to them. Interpreted. They want to understand why a doctor says normal, but their body is telling a very different story through symptoms and day to day experiences that don't line up with what they're being told.  What I've learned after twenty five years in this space is that those questions are rarely separate. They're different entry points into the same conversation, and that's a huge part of coaching. We help women connect the dots between multiple systems and multiple symptoms, instead of treating each one like it exists in a vacuum. Today we're going to talk about overlap as a working system because fat loss, hormones, digestion, blood sugar, and insulin resistance are not isolated from each other. I'm going to explain how they work together and why they affect each other.   Time Stamps:   (1:45) Communication Between Systems (3:19) How I Think About Coaching (5:55) Crutch vs Mentorship (7:47) Thyroid Function (9:35) Chronic Undereating (10:49) Estrogen Clearance and The Gut (16:18) SHREDS (19:30) Thyroid Output Adapts to Energy Availability (21:55) Recapping The Systems Lens ----------  Apply for SF Coaching Method  https://sarahfechter.ac-page.com/sfhq-cc Complimentary Health Content  https://sarahfechter.ac-page.com/Health_Wellness_Community ----------  Follow Me On Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sarahfechter.ifbbpro/   Check Out My Website - https://www.sarahfechter.com ----------  This Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing, other professional health care services, or any professional practice of any kind.

PRE-ORDER the upcoming book now: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/the-bookKymber Maulden joins us on the podcast today. Fertility isn't just for women who want to be mothers, it is a sign of health in menstruating females. Trauma stresses and rapidly oxidizes the body, causing it to need even more nutrients and therefore be in metabolic debt. This draws on resources contributing to low progesterone and elevated testosterone, which may lead to PCOS and infertility. Luis and Kymber discuss actionable steps to start healing hormonal health, such as tracking cycles and what to note, glucose tracking, HTMA testing, and a consistent macro nutrient intake which signals the body that it is safe. They also talk about the birth control pill, and open sex culture. The open sex culture and sexual revolution are based on a male model of sexuality that requires women to disconnect from their instincts, bypass what actually turns them on, and is often branded as empowered feminism. There is a difference between erotic energy and hypersexuality as a trauma response. How can women find balance in their femininity if they are avoiding their instincts? You can read more about Kymber here: https://www.kymbermaulden.com/You can register for the Recovering From Sexual Fawning HLN video course here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/recovering-from-sexual-fawningYou can register for the FREE Food Therapy session here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/events/nutrition-for-your-kids You can read more about, and register for, the Embodied ADHD 6-month program, here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/slow-practice-adhd You can read more about, and register for, Camille's Embodying My Cycles & Rhythms 6-month group here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/cycles-and-rhythms-slow-group You can read more about, and register for, the retreat at Broughton in the UK here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/broughton-2026----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/ You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?

Hormones influence how we move, rest, recover, and show up on the mat, yet they're rarely discussed clearly in yoga spaces. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Manasa Rao to explore what yoga teachers need to understand about the hormonal body through both modern science and yogic wisdom. We talk about stress, rhythm, pranayama, women's hormonal cycles, and how yoga can support balance through listening and alignment without overstepping into medical advice.Episode Highlights:Are hormones a modern concept, or something yoga has always addressed through a different language?Hormones as internal messengers and their connection to yogic ideas of prana, ojas, tejas, and balance.How yoga works across the physical and subtle bodies to regulate internal harmony.The relationship between chakras, glands, and pranic flow, and where confusion often arises.Why hormonal balance is the body's natural state and how modern lifestyle disrupts rhythm.Cortisol, stress, and the importance of restoring rhythm rather than suppressing hormones.Pranayama as a key regulator of the hormonal and nervous systems.How to think about different pranayama practices, including ujjayi, with more discernment.Pratyahara as a lifestyle-based practice rooted in routine, rhythm, and sensory regulation.Understanding women's hormonal transitions, including menstruation, perimenopause, and menopause.Menopause reframed as a phase of reorganization and inward movement, not decline.How yogic practices can support different phases of the menstrual cycle.The importance of personalization and sensitivity when teaching hormonally affected students.Body-to-mind versus mind-to-body, and why dissolving that duality matters.The central takeaway: hormonal health comes from listening, alignment, and rhythm rather than fixing.Join our mailing listFind all the resources mentioned in this episodeConnect with us on InstagramSubscribe to Aham Yoga on YouTubeLet's Talk Yoga Podcast on YouTubeLeave us a review and share this podcast with your friends!

Corey Schuler is a holistic family nurse practitioner who discusses the circadian rhythm, the body's internal time clock, with host Dr. Ben Weitz. Both the central clock and peripheral time clocks control the metabolism of the body, our sleep, alertness, body temperature, and even our gene expression.  Our modern lifestyle, lack of sleep, exposure to artificial and blue light, caffeine consumption, etc. has had a negative impact on our natural circadian rhythm and this may result in many negative health consequences.  We discussed how stress, adrenal function, and the HPA axis impact our circadian rhythm.

Do you know whether you're Vata, Pitta, or Kapha...and could that explain your stubborn symptoms in midlife? In this episode, I'm joined by my brilliant friend Dr. Shivani Gupta, and we dive into Ayurveda, inflammation, and why your body might be asking for a completely different approach right now. Have you ever wondered why turmeric seems to work like magic for pain, migraines, or inflammation? Or why the same routines that used to work suddenly don't anymore in perimenopause? We unpack how ancient Ayurvedic wisdom meets modern science—and why that combination matters so much for women over 40. We also go beyond supplements and symptoms into the deeper shifts of midlife. Is menopause actually an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and redesign your life? What if your fatigue, brain fog, or weight gain isn't failure, but feedback? This conversation might completely change how you see this season! In this episode, we uncover: How your elemental design influences inflammation, energy, and hormone balance. Why curcumin works so powerfully—and what most supplements get wrong. What Ayurveda says about perimenopause as a physical and spiritual transition. How simple daily rituals can replace willpower and finally stick. Why mental and emotional inflammation matter as much as hormones. If you're ready to rethink menopause and feel more at home in your body, this episode is for you.

Testosterone is known as THE male hormone, yet women carry more of it than estrogen across their lifespan. In this episode, Dr. Mary Alice Mina breaks down why testosterone matters for women and how imbalances show up in skin, hair, and nails.

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.

In this week's episode, Elizabeth is joined by award-winning journalist Meghan Rabbitt, author of The New Rules of Women's Health: Your Guide to Thriving at Every Age. Known for translating complex science into everyday language, Meghan brings a no-nonsense lens to the gaps in women's health research, and what we can finally start doing about it.From brain fog and hormonal shifts to the labs you're not getting (but should be), Meghan walks us through the decades of missed data, the rise of women-centered care, and why fiber is the unsung hero of 2026. 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

This week on Energy Shift, Coach Erin McDonald explains why your hormones aren't "broken". ​​They are simply responding to the stress and chronic restriction you've put them through for years. If you're struggling with bloating, brain fog, or stubborn weight, it's time to stop the under-eating cycle and start signaling safety to your metabolism.​​Erin breaks down her signature 7-day reset, preceded by a 3-day prep phase, to help you lower cortisol and erase inflammation. By prioritizing whole foods, strength training, and consistent sleep, you can finally stop the "yo-yo" results and start feeling like an energized version of yourself.​​​Connect with Erin: www.8wellnesscollective.com​MOMnation: www.direct.me/momnationaz​​#HormoneReset #PerimenopauseHealth #MetabolicSafety

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!
