This powerful solo episode recaps the most jaw-dropping insights from Vanessa's recent conversation with Dr. Arny Ferrando—one of the world's leading experts on human muscle metabolism, amino acids, and aging. Vanessa breaks down how muscle protein synthesis actually works on a physiological level, the surprising role of blood flow in getting amino acids into muscle tissue, and what's really behind the fat gain many women experience during perimenopause and menopause. Spoiler: it's not just hormones. •

Bladder leaks, dryness, and low libido aren't exactly dinner table topics… but maybe they should be. These issues are way more common than we think, especially during and after menopause, and they have a huge impact on how we feel day to day. That's why I sit down with Dr. Rena Malik, a Board-Certified Urologist and Sexual Medicine Specialist who's made it her mission to talk about the things most people won't. We talk about everything from pelvic floor problems to how hormones like estrogen and testosterone affect our sexual health and bladder function. Dr. Rena shares why stress makes things worse (yep, even your bladder feels it), and how simple things like breathing or pelvic floor therapy can help you get back in tune with your body. She also breaks down what options are really worth exploring—like vaginal estrogen, testosterone therapy, and a few new treatments you may not have heard of yet. If your body's been sending signals you've been ignoring, consider this your sign to tune in and start listening. And hey, if you're in the mood to give your body a little extra support, I've been loving the new Mighty Maca Mango lately. It's refreshing, light, and packed with all the superfood goodness—plus, it tastes amazing in sparkling water (or turned into a popsicle).

That's a normal thing. And it's not. And same thing with UTIs. They're not normal." [00:11:45] – Dr. Rena Malik "I would argue that scheduling intimacy is probably one of the underrated tools that people use. We schedule date night to go have dinner and talk.

The question isn't which supplements to take—it's whether your body can absorb them. Most traditional supplements fall victim to stomach acid before delivering benefits. Purality Health's micelle liposomal technology creates a double-layer protective system that shields nutrients from stomach acid destruction while facilitating direct bloodstream absorption—making supplements up to 800% more effective. For perimenopausal and menopausal patients, I recommend their Vitamin D3 with K2 for bone density and mood regulation, and their exceptional magnesium formula for sleep and muscle tension. As a physician, I value their commitment to quality: cGMP-compliant facilities, purity testing, and organic, non-GMO ingredients without unnecessary fillers.

Many people chase symptoms with supplements and medications, never realising their cells are literally drowning in toxins. Dr. Daniel Pompa's story mirrors what millions experience today — unexplained fatigue, brain fog, hormone dysfunction, and anxiety that doctors can't explain, yet his blood work came back “perfect.” The breakthrough was discovering mercury toxicity from dental fillings had accumulated in his brain tissue, invisible to standard tests because heavy metals hide deep in tissues where they wreak cellular havoc for decades.

Send us a textYou've heard of estrogen, maybe even LH—but the real superhero in fertility? It's progesterone.In this episode of Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday, Dr. Mark Amols reveals how progesterone silently supports pregnancy, stabilizes the uterine lining, and prevents early contractions—all without the recognition it deserves.We break down the science: how progesterone is made from cholesterol, how it converts into testosterone and estrogen, and how granulosa and theca cells work together to build a pregnancy-ready uterus.Plus, Dr. Amols explains why blood levels may look “low” on vaginal progesterone, why that doesn't mean treatment failure, and why route of delivery really matters—especially in frozen embryo transfers.Whether you're trying naturally, doing IUI, or planning an FET, this episode will help you understand what progesterone is really doing behind the scenes—and why it might just be the most important hormone you never thought about.Thanks for tuning in to another episode of 'Taco Bout Fertility Tuesday' with Dr. Mark Amols.

Send us a textThe pursuit of optimal health as we age requires more than just conventional medicine—it demands a deeper understanding of how our hormones, genetics, and metabolism interact. In this continuation of the conversation with Dr. Elena Christofides, Host Dr. Holly Thacker goes beyond the surface of women's health concerns to explore groundbreaking approaches that can literally change how we age.Dr. Christofides reveals why comprehensive blood testing should include genetic markers that most physicians overlook. From MTHFR mutations affecting B vitamin metabolism to hemochromatosis genes common in those with Northern European ancestry, these hidden factors can dramatically impact metabolic health. Her revolutionary approach includes growth hormone screening for everyone—not just elite athletes—because deficiencies following head trauma (including domestic violence) affect one in five people and accelerate aging processes.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Christofides and Dr. Thacker emphasize that what many dismiss as "normal aging" is often addressable with personalized medical approaches.For anyone frustrated by unexplained weight gain, fatigue, poor sleep quality, or declining physical performance despite "normal" lab work, this episode offers hope and actionable insights.To learn more about Dr. Elena Christofides, visit endocrinology-associates.com.Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the show

About 15% to 50% of perimenopausal women may experience anxiety, often accompanied by depression, insomnia, and forgetfulness. In fact, anxiety is one of the main symptoms women reach out to me about.

What if the most powerful medicine for your heart, hormones, and longevity was already inside you? Oxytocin—often called the “love hormone”—isn't just about romance or bonding.

In this conversation, we explore how oxytocin connects the science of healing with the soul of connection. You'll learn how to naturally elevate your oxytocin through simple daily practices—touch, trust, purpose, and presence—and why love truly is medicine. Whether you're focused on healing, healthy aging, or deepening your relationships, this episode offers tools to elevate your life from the inside out. #Oxytocin #HeartHealth #Longevity #LoveHormone #EmotionalWellness #NaturalHealing #HealthyAging #MindBodyMedicine #FunctionalMedicine #HormoneHealth #Resilience #RelationshipHealth #Neuropeptide #StressRelief

What does it mean to be free? It's a question that's puzzled philosophers for millennia. But what does it mean to be metabolically free? If you've ever felt hangry, crashed after a meal, or dealt with type 2 diabetes, you've experienced the opposite — metabolic imprisonment.My guest today, Ben Azadi, knows this firsthand. In 2008, Ben was obese and unhealthy, struggling to find answers. After shedding 80 pounds and turning his health around, he dedicated his life to helping others do the same. Today, he's a functional health expert, bestselling author, and the founder of Keto Kamp, a global brand empowering people to use ancient healing tools like fasting and the ketogenic lifestyle. His new book, Metabolic Freedom: A 30-Day Guide to Restore Your Metabolism, Heal Hormones & Burn Fat, lays out the blueprint to reclaim your health.In this episode, we dive into:What metabolism really is — and why “slow” or “fast” metabolism may be a mythA groundbreaking study that disproves the idea that metabolism slows with ageWhy fasting insulin is a better marker of health than weight or glucose aloneThe surprising power of “Vitamin G” — gratitude — on your metabolic functionBen's top daily habits and biohacks to supercharge your metabolismBen's approach is all about education over medication — empowering you to take control, rather than outsourcing your health. Ben has also made a personal impact on a member of my family.Links:

Are you feeling constantly fatigued, overwhelmed, or just not yourself, and being told the answer is antidepressants or stimulants? You may be dealing with a hormonal imbalance. In this episode, Dr. Hotze visits with long-time guest Cindy Jones, who shares her transformational health journey. After being prescribed Adderall and Zoloft for post-pregnancy fatigue, Cindy realized these medications were only masking the real problem. Her breakthrough came through natural hormone replacement, specifically, bioidentical progesterone and targeted thyroid support. Through personalized care at the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, Cindy was able to safely taper off prescription drugs, restore her energy, and reclaim her health. Nearly two decades later, she's thriving, energized, sharp, and passionate about helping others recognize the root causes of their symptoms. Her story is a testament to the power of natural solutions and taking charge of your own health. Watch now and subscribe to our podcasts at www.HotzePodcast.com.

Your gut isn't just about what you eat.It's about how you live, love, feel, and breathe.In this episode of Live Well Be Well, I sit down with Emily Leeming, PhD, gut-brain researcher at King's College London and registered nutritionist whose work bridges the gap between cutting-edge microbiome science and practical wellness, to uncover the hidden forces shaping your microbiome. We go far beyond food and supplements to explore how hormones, intimacy, stress, and human connection are quietly reshaping your gut health every single day.Emily reveals why men and women have fundamentally different gut microbiomes, how a 10-second kiss transfers 80 million microbes between partners, and why stress, trauma, and even loneliness might impact your gut health more than any probiotic.This isn't about achieving perfect gut health. It's about understanding that your microbiome is alive, responsive, and deeply interconnected with how you feel, relate, and move through the world.In this conversation, we explore: • Why men and women experience gut health differently • How estrogen fluctuations and menopause alter women's gut diversity • Why testosterone and sperm quality are linked to gut health in men • The surprising ways sex and cohabitation change your microbiome • How stress, loneliness, and trauma can shrink your microbiome • The emerging connections between ADHD, autism, and gut-brain signaling • Why breathwork is one of the most underrated tools for gut health • The truth about commercial gut testing versus listening to your body • What stool reveals that gut tests don't • The role of polyphenols, fibre & fermented foods in microbial diversity • How gardening, touch, and community naturally diversify your microbesYou'll leave with a completely reframed understanding of gut health. One that honors the emotional, social, and hormonal dimensions of wellness alongside the nutritional ones.Love,Sarah Ann

In this episode, Sharon sits down with Dr. Anju Mathur—founder of Angel Longevity Medical Center—to explore what truly works when conventional medicine fails. After years of practicing as a traditional MD, Dr. Mathur found herself chronically unwell with “normal” labs and no answers. That led her to discover the transformative power of functional testing, detoxification, metabolic nutrition, and hormone optimization.We cover:-Her personal shift from mainstream to integrative medicine-Why thyroid symptoms persist even when TSH looks “normal”-The role of selenium in Hashimoto's support-Hormone, gut, and cellular efficiency testing methods-Nutrition's massive role in autoimmune and chronic illness recovery-What metabolic typing is—and how it can be used to personalize care-Why detox needs to be done in the right order

Have you ever wondered why your skin just won't clear up—no matter how many products you try? In this episode of The Wellness Effect, we're digging deep into the real root causes of common skin issues like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Spoiler alert: it's not just about what you put on your skin—it's what's going on inside your body that really matters. We share our personal skin journeys—from hormonal breakouts to full-blown psoriasis—and unpack how gut health, stress, diet, and even poop play a huge role in your skin's health. If you've been frustrated with mystery breakouts, rashes, or dry patches, this episode will help you finally connect the dots.     In this episode, you'll hear… The root causes behind acne, eczema, and psoriasis How gut health and leaky gut impact your skin Why your poop (yes, poop!) matters more than you think What your skin is telling you about your liver and detox pathways Why “normal” breakouts aren't actually normal How blood sugar, stress, and hormones all show up on your skin Why most probiotics may be doing more harm than good

I finally sat down with Melissa Kupsch, founder of RMDY Collective, to dive into a healing modality that's long been overlooked on this show—homeopathy. Melissa brings a powerful mix of personal story, clinical experience, and spiritual insight to this conversation. We talk about the foundational principle of homeopathy (like cures like) and how highly diluted natural substances can stimulate the body's vital force to heal. She shares how a single remedy transformed her sister's life-threatening condition and recounts her own mind-blowing detox after taking just one dose.We get into the suppressed history of homeopathy, from its origins in the 1700s to its widespread use in US hospitals—until the powers that be saw its potential and shut it down. Melissa explains why homeopathy poses a threat to the pharmaceutical model, how remedies are made, and what makes them so powerful—even though there's "nothing" in them.Beyond the science, Melissa speaks to the spiritual and emotional healing that unfolds when the vital force is restored. If you've ever been skeptical about homeopathy—or curious about why it's been so marginalized—this episode will open your mind. I walked away more inspired than ever to dig deeper into this ancient, energetic form of healing.

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron discusses the complexities of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), addressing common misconceptions and emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach to women's health. She explores the benefits and risks of HRT, the necessity of proper dosage and safety measures, and the role of the nervous system in managing hormonal health. Ali advocates for integrating lifestyle changes with HRT to achieve optimal health outcomes for women navigating menopause and perimenopause. Takeaways HRT can be beneficial for many women, but it's not the only solution. Understanding the risks and benefits of HRT is crucial. Holistic health practices should accompany HRT for best results. Proper dosage and safety measures are essential when using HRT. The nervous system's state can significantly impact hormonal health. Women should not rush into estrogen therapy without proper evaluation. It's important to have a knowledgeable practitioner when considering HRT. Lifestyle changes can enhance the effectiveness of HRT. Women experiencing perimenopause should focus on supporting progesterone levels. HRT should be personalized based on individual health needs and conditions.

Send us a textA blend of biology, philosophy, and history exploring how hormones and endocrine disruptors affect social behavior and society.Episode Summary: Dr. Charles Cornish-Dale discusses the decline of masculinity in modern society, linking it to falling testosterone levels, environmental endocrine disruptors, and the limitations of liberal democracy. Drawing on Francis Fukuyama's “End of History & the Last Men” and historical perspectives, Cornish-Dale argues that biological and societal factors, including diet and hormonal interventions like birth control, are reshaping male and female behaviors, with profound implications for health and social structures.About the guest: Charles Cornish-Dale, PhD is a medieval historian and anthropologist with a PhD from Oxford. His new book is, “The Last Men: Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity.”Discussion Points:Thymos & Masculinity: Cornish-Dale uses the ancient Greek concept of thymos, meaning spiritedness, to explain male drives for recognition and distinction, which he ties to testosterone-driven behaviors.Testosterone Decline: Studies like the Massachusetts Male Aging Study show a ~20% drop in male testosterone levels over 17 years, correlating with reduced reproductive health and social withdrawal.Endocrine Disruptors: Chemicals in plastics, pesticides, and soy products mimic estrogen, disrupting hormonal balance and potentially causing developmental and behavioral issues.Diet & Behavior: Historical shifts to grain-based diets, as noted by Plato, and modern plant-based trends may suppress thymos and alter hormonal profiles, impacting societal dynamics.Hormonal Contraceptives: Birth control can thin the ventromedial prefrontal cortex in women, affecting emotional regulation, especially if taken during teenage years, with potential permanent effects.Fukuyama's End of History Framework: Cornish-Dale critiques liberal democracy's inability to satisfy megalothymia (the desire to be better), contributing to a crisis of purpose for men.Related episode:M&M 193: History of Diet & Food, Population Density & Social Stability, Psychological Pandemics, Physical & Mental Health in Civilizational CyclesSupport the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

Menopause isn't just a diagnosis—it's a transition, and the way we treat it needs to change. Dr. Kelly Casperson joins Dr. Suzette Sutherland in this urogynecology crossover episode of BackTable to challenge outdated beliefs about menopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). They revisit the impact of the 1990s Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study and explain how its findings—especially around synthetic hormones—were widely misinterpreted and continue to adversely influence patient and provider decisions today. --- SYNPOSIS Dr. Casperson breaks down the differences between the hormones used in WHI and the safer, more targeted options available today.

In Day 3 of the Shift with CJ podcast, this episode helps you understand what inflammation really is, the difference between acute and chronic inflammation, how it impacts fat loss and hormones, and what you can start doing today to heal from the inside out.What You'll Learn:What Inflammation Actually Is CJ uses simple metaphors to explain how acute inflammation is a healing signal from the body (like when you stub your toe), while chronic inflammation is like an unwanted houseguest who refuses to leave—and slowly wrecks the place. Chronic inflammation messes with hunger hormones like insulin and leptin, making fat loss harder and hunger constant.Top Causes of InflammationProcessed seed oils (canola, sunflower, peanut)Sugar and its hidden forms (e.g., high fructose corn syrup)Refined carbs (pastries, bread, sugary snacks)AlcoholProcessed meats (bacon, sausages)CJ's Approved Cooking Fats For cooking, switch to stable fats like coconut oil, ghee, or butter. When eating out, ask for food cooked in olive oil or ghee instead of vegetable oils.Foods That Heal Inflammation and Burn Fat Nature has given us plenty of inflammation-fighting, fat-burning foods:Avocados: rich in healthy fats that support metabolismBerries: full of antioxidants that stabilize blood sugarApples & pears: fiber-rich for satietyGrapefruit: helps reduce appetite via GLP-1Sweet potatoes: steady your blood sugarCruciferous veggies (broccoli, cauliflower): loaded with nutrientsChili peppers: boost metabolismWild-caught salmon & fatty fish: loaded with omega-3sApple cider vinegar: improves insulin sensitivityMatcha and green tea: rich in antioxidantsGreek yogurt (if tolerated): supports gut healthNuts like pistachios and macadamias: nutrient-dense, but best kept to 10 per servingKey Takeaways:Inflammation is a signal, not the enemy. Acute inflammation heals. Chronic inflammation harms.What you eat matters. Cooking oils, added sugars, and processed foods are major inflammation triggers.Hormones are involved. Chronic inflammation distorts hunger and fullness signals, making it harder to lose weight.Nature has answers. Whole foods with fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats can dramatically reduce inflammation.Bloating is a symptom. If you feel gassy, heavy, or inflamed, your gut and metabolism are asking for a reset.5 Things to Start Doing Today:Audit your pantry. Remove seed oils, processed meats, and sugary snacks. Replace them with clean alternatives.Switch your cooking oils. Use ghee, butter, or coconut oil at home and ask restaurants to avoid vegetable oils.Add inflammation-fighting foods to your meals. Aim for at least 3 from CJ's list each day (e.g., berries, salmon, cruciferous veggies).Start your meals with a shot of apple cider vinegar and lemon. Do it 20–30 minutes before eating to stabilize blood sugar.Track what you eat for a few days. Reflect on how foods make you feel—bloating, mood, energy—and start connecting the dots.Final Thought: Inflammation isn't the enemy—it's a signal that your body needs support. Start listening to it, nourishing it, and healing it one choice at a time

Hey Friend, Ever feel like your hormones are completely out of whack—but no one's giving you a straight answer? You've tried cutting carbs, squeezing in workouts, maybe even taking random supplements from your last late-night scroll… but your symptoms keep coming back. Mood swings, fatigue, stubborn weight gain, bloating. It's frustrating. And it's not your fault. In this week's episode of Functional Medicine for Christian Women, I'm walking you through what hormone symptoms are really telling you—and why chasing estrogen or progesterone fixes often misses the point.

In this episode we speak with Janet Krone Kennedy, Ph.D. about something that affects half the population but is rarely discussed in enough detail: how hormones impact women's sleep. Dr. Kennedy is a clinical psychologist with more than two decades of specialized experience treating sleep disorders. She is the founder of NYC Sleep Doctor, providing psychotherapy, coaching and consulting services. Her online Sleep School provides a self-paced psychoeducational platform to expand access to the key components of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). Dr. Kennedy spent eight years at the Manhattan VA Hospital as a Health Psychologist and Assistant Director of the Outpatient Mental Health Clinic, where she developed and implemented the multi-site Sleep Disorders Treatment Program. Dr. Kennedy is the author of The Good Sleeper: The Essential Guide to Sleep for Your Baby (and You). She is also a sought-after speaker, and has been featured widely on television, podcasts, and in print and online publications. In addition to treating sleep disorders, Dr. Kennedy provides short-term, problem-focused therapy for anxiety and mood disorders.
