Podcasts about hormones

This episode is brought to you by Joi & Blokes, Troscriptions, and Caldera Lab. In this episode of Ever Forward Radio, registered dietitian Ashley Koff, RD breaks down the truth behind GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, reframing them not as magic weight-loss shots but as hormone replacement therapies that reveal how dysfunctional most people's "weight-health hormones" have become. Ashley shares how digestion, nutrient status, genetics, and modern environmental pressures diminish the body's natural ability to regulate appetite, cravings, metabolism, and fat distribution — and why GLP-1 drugs can offer clarity but not a cure unless the underlying issues are addressed. She dives into muscle preservation, the limitations of BMI, the importance of fat-mass vs. scale weight, the root-cause approach to sustainable weight health, and what the future of GLP-1s means for generational wellness. This is a powerful conversation that blends science, personal insight, and actionable strategies to improve metabolic health — with or without medication.

Join Patreon to get access to HTMA case studies here!Some of your loudest hormone symptoms are actually mineral problems in disguise.In this episode, I pick up our December mineral series and move from the foundation minerals into the tiny trace players that run the control panel. Minerals like copper, zinc, iron, manganese, chromium, selenium and boron act as cofactors for hormones, thyroid and blood sugar, and they can make or break energy, mood and cycles even when the basics look ok. On paper, a lot of women are told everything looks “normal” while their bodies are clearly not ok. I get into what it feels like when minerals are out of balance, from emotional spikes and wired-tired nights to heavy, painful cycles and those nagging aches that never quite go away. Instead of chasing every new fix, I zoom out to show how your system compensates and what that reveals about where support actually needs to go.This is part 2 of 3 of my Mineral Series. Tune into episodes 12 and 14 to deepen your knowledge.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[01:32] Why trace minerals act like the body's control panel even when macros look good[03:36] The real reason copper makes symptoms worse when it isn't bioavailable[04:22] The overlooked signs your body isn't tolerating a copper IUD[11:11] How hair testing reveals hidden copper stored in tissues when blood looks normal[12:53] What zinc really does for fertility and thyroid function beyond immunity[13:48] Why zinc backfires when sodium is low and the surprising symptoms that follow[19:19] The connection between gut health, iron overload, and “mystery” fatigue[22:46] How manganese supports joints, blood sugar, and the nervous system in ways most women miss[26:38] The thyroid-protective role of selenium and why depletion hits detox hard[27:41] The way boron helps hormones communicate and why stress quietly drains itRelated Hormone Healing Episodes:Master Your Minerals Course | WebsiteHow to do mineral testing | EpisodeCalcium deep dive | EpisodeMagnesium deep dive | EpisodeSodium deep dive | EpisodePotassium deep dive | EpisodeMaster your minerals.

Megan chats with Megan Flatt about how your hormone cycle affects your ability to focus and the simple shifts that let you work smarter, protect your brain and get bigger results by doing less. Megan Flatt is the founder of Let's Collective, a business strategy firm helping entrepreneurs achieve more revenue, time, and fulfillment—without the hustle. Megan is also the author of Focused: Reclaim Your Time, Ditch Overwhelm, and Do Less Better, where she blends research and practical strategies to help people do less, better. When she's not strategizing, Megan can be found with a stack of romance novels, a fresh set of office supplies and usually a latte. Learn more at letscollective.co This episode reframes productivity in a way that feels sane again. Megan explains what actually helps your brain focus, why multitasking backfires, and how to plan in cycles that match your energy and biology. She digs into the default mode network, the value of "done" definitions, and the three step planning framework she uses with CEOs. If your brain feels foggy or scattered, these tools will reset your entire approach. Key points discussed include: Tasks, projects and goals are different and clarity here prevents overwhelm. Define your container so your brain knows when work starts and ends. Default mode network time matters because your brain needs space to solve problems. Planning in 90 day cycles works and gives your ideas room to breathe. Hormones influence productivity so aligning your work with your cycle can change everything. Triggers help you focus whether it is headphones, a playlist or a specific workspace. Break tasks into small wins because dopamine drives momentum. Do less better and concentrate on the work that actually moves your business. Connect with Megan Flatt Website | Instagram

Have you ever caught yourself holding your breath and realizing you've been tense for hours without even noticing? That was me all the time, until I started paying attention to what my body was asking for, rather than what I thought I should be doing.So, today, I'm talking about rest. The real kind. Not sleep (though most of us aren't getting enough of that either), but the kind of rest that lets your shoulders drop, your breath slow down, and your spirit finally feel safe. The kind that most of us, busy moms, avoid, or feel guilty about, even though it can change our hormones more than any supplement, protocol, or perfect routine ever can.You'll learn:The surprising moment I realized I wasn't truly resting Why your body can't absorb minerals or balance hormones, if your mind never slows downSimple and doable rest practices I use that make a bigger difference than any self-care checklistIf you've been wondering why PMS hits harder on the weeks you push through, or why your mood settles on the days you finally slow down, this episode will make that pattern unmistakably clear. You'll hear exactly how your body signals that it's done running on adrenaline, why your hormones can't reset without real rest, and what small shifts move the needle when nothing else does.NEW Private Podcast - 3 Steps to Making Hormones WellBook a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

Your hormones are not separate from your life. They're responding to it. And nothing reveals that more clearly than the holiday season. Every year, women take on more—more planning, more emotional labor, more mental load, more pressure to make everything magical. And we tell ourselves it's "just busy," but physiologically, there's so much more happening beneath the surface. When your schedule gets unpredictable, your meals get irregular, or your sleep gets pushed aside, your cortisol rises. When cortisol rises, progesterone dips. And when progesterone dips, you feel it: heavier PMS, shorter tempers, disrupted sleep, more cravings, more bloating, more mood swings. This episode is about understanding why the holidays hit your body the way they do—and how to protect yourself without throwing out the joy of the season. I'm sharing the simple shifts that matter most: – Why boundaries are hormone regulation, not selfishness – How rest stabilizes cortisol faster than any supplement – Why simplifying meals reduces inflammation and digestive stress – How overstimulation impacts sleep cycles and adrenal function – And why ease—not perfection—is the most supportive thing for your hormones right now This isn't about doing the holidays "right." It's about no longer abandoning yourself in the process. Because when you understand what your body needs—especially during the most demanding season of the year—you don't just protect your hormones… you protect your experience, your energy, and the memories you actually want to be part of. If you've ever wondered why you hit January feeling depleted, this episode will finally make it make sense.  And if you're listening and thinking, "I need deeper support than holiday tips," that's exactly what the 1:1 VIP program is for. It's the highest level of care I offer—personalized testing, custom protocols, and direct access to me so we can uncover what your body actually needs and help you rebuild from the inside out. If this season has you realizing it's time for a different level of support, you can learn more here: https://drbethwestie.com/jumpstart-program/

Whether you've never heard of it or you've always wondered if it's worth the investment, you'll learn:✨ What the DUTCH test actually measures (and why bloodwork often misses the real problem) ✨ How cortisol patterns, estrogen detox pathways, and hormone metabolites impact your sleep, mood, energy, and weight ✨ How to know if the DUTCH test can help YOU have better sleep, clearer thinking, higher libido, and easier weight loss ✨ Why it isn't covered by insurance — but why you can use your HSA/FSA card ✨ Why you must have an experienced practitioner interpret your results ✨ The reason I run a DUTCH test on myself every year ✨ And why this is one of my favorite tools for helping midlife women feel like themselves againIf you've ever wished you could finally understand what your hormones are doing — and get a clear, personalized roadmap to support your body — this episode is a must-listen.

November News You Can Use Federal Rules and Hot Flashes (Loans, Hormones, Measles) Topics include: New federal rule absurdly declassifies advanced nursing and therapy degrees as “professional,” worsening medical education costs Meanwhile capping physician loans below actual med-school debt which risks ensuring future physicians disproportionately come from wealthy families The long-misleading black-box warning on HRT has finally been removed, restoring access to a beneficial therapy The hype around new non-hormonal alternatives for Menopause likely not going to bring an impact Measles is resurging as vaccination rates drop CMS releases new labyrinthine OPPS/ASC rules—including phasing out the Inpatient-Only rule by 2028 Healthcare tech continues to flag patient risks without offering meaningful action, proving that data without direction is worthless.

Dr. Joe Sirven and his panel of medical experts discuss this month's biggest health headlines, from a deadly listeria outbreak to the FDA's removal of "black box" warnings on hormone replacement therapies.

Hormones start shifting way earlier than anyone tells us, and for most women over 35 that sneaky change can make you feel like you are aging in fast-forward. This episode breaks down the hormone symptoms most doctors overlook and explains what is actually happening with estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone when you suddenly have brain fog, mood swings, stubborn weight gain, low libido, or sleep that goes off a cliff. Chalene also clears up the outdated fears around hormone therapy and shares the updated science every woman needs, plus simple natural hormone support options if HRT is not your thing. And if you have ever felt dismissed or confused by conflicting advice, you will hear exactly how to find a clinician who actually understands women's hormone health so you can age powerfully instead of feeling unlike yourself.

Oxytocin might get all the hype as the "love hormone," but the way it quietly shapes our mood, relationships, and everyday well-being is honestly pretty incredible once you understand it. In today's episode, you'll get a clear look at what this hormone is actually doing behind the scenes and why it plays such a big role in how connected, calm, and joyful we feel. We break down the real science in simple language and talk about the places where oxytocin shows up in your life without you even noticing.   I'm sitting down with my good friend, Dr. Tyna Moore, one of the smartest and most grounded voices in regenerative medicine, and a licensed Naturopathic Physician and Chiropractor with nearly 30 years of experience. She shares how oxytocin supports immunity, emotional balance, metabolic health, and even pain resilience in ways most women never hear about. We talk through simple, doable habits that naturally lift oxytocin without feeling like another task on your list.   We also open up about topics that deserve way more space, like vaginal atrophy, pelvic floor strength, intimacy changes, and how oxytocin weaves into all of it as we age. You'll walk away with insights you can use immediately to support your body, your mood, and your relationships.

Leash meltdowns aren't random—they're rehearsed. We pull back the curtain on what “reactivity” really means, why barriers like leashes and fences supercharge emotion, and how to swap chaos for structure without crushing your dog's spirit. We map the two major lanes of reactivity—overarousal versus fear—then connect them to what's happening inside the body, from dopamine-fueled excitement to cortisol-driven stress. That biology lesson turns into timing and tactics you can use today.We start at home, not on the sidewalk. You'll learn a simple marker-based game that opens and closes a training window, plus why tethering is a crucial skill for teaching calm under restraint. We share step-by-step ways to build reliable loose-leash walking in low-distraction spaces, then show how to move from management to real behavior change. When and how should you layer tools for clarity? Why are forced sits and tight leashes making things worse? How can a flexi line help you test choices safely in open areas? We answer it all, with examples from Bella's progress and Muffin's spicy genetics.Along the way, we talk emotion in training, why precision can wait, and how structure builds confidence in anxious dogs. If dog parks and on‑leash greetings have been fueling your problem, you'll leave with a practical plan: short engagement loops, crate and tether reps, movement over standoffs, and controlled exposures that don't reward barking. Plus, we share facility news, new classes in Upland and San Diego, a community holiday party and giving tree, and details on an upcoming seminar with our mentor Oscar focused on markers, communication, and play.If this helped reframe your dog's outbursts, tap follow, share with a friend who's struggling, and leave a quick review telling us what you'll try first. Your questions for Oscar are next—send them our way.Visit us on the website here to see what we've got going on and how you can join our pack of good dogs and owners.

Feeling like your hormones have completely taken over — your mood, your brain, even your ability to make a simple meal plan in menopause? In this episode, I'm inviting you into my own story of hormone imbalance, brain fog, and the surprising gift of humility in midlife. I share the morning in my kitchen when I finally broke down before the Lord, realizing that white-knuckling, over-controlling, and trying to "do all the things" was not the path to healing. We'll talk about what actually happens as hormones shift in menopause — how estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, insulin, and cortisol impact your brain, energy, weight, sleep, and resilience — and why your old strategies of "eat less, move more" stopped working. You'll learn what it looks like to stop fighting your midlife body and start partnering with it through protein, strength training, recovery, boundaries, and a posture of surrender instead of pressure. If you've been frustrated with your body, your hormones, or your lack of "willpower," this conversation will feel like a deep exhale and a fresh start. Press play, and then come share your takeaway with us inside the Menopause Makeover community.   FULL BLOG + SHOW NOTES Read the full post:

This episode dives into the world of women's hormonal health with Dr. Prudence Hall, who shares how her career shifted from gynecological surgery to integrative medicine after realizing how poorly menopause was being addressed in conventional care. She breaks down why individualized treatment matters, especially when it comes to bioidentical hormones that mirror the body's natural chemistry. The conversation explores the underrated role of testosterone in women's health, from supporting muscle and bone to protecting mental clarity, and how environmental stressors, toxins, and chronic stress can disrupt hormonal balance. Dr. Hall also highlights the importance of vitamin D, thyroid function, and comprehensive testing - hormones, antibodies, genetics - to get a full picture of what's really going on in the body. Throughout the episode, she emphasizes the power of collaboration between patients and practitioners and the need for a more thoughtful, personalized approach to navigating menopause and beyond. Learn more about Dr. Hall - Dr. Prudence Hall is an integrative medicine pioneer and founder of The Hall Center in Santa Monica, specializing in regenerative and hormone-based medicine.

This raw, unfiltered episode dives straight into the real challenges of postpartum life—beyond the hormone talk and clinical labels. Dr. Nicole lays it out: bringing a baby into the world doesn't just shake up your body, it shakes up your entire life, surfacing old wounds, unresolved traumas, and deep-seated beliefs. She breaks down how physical symptoms can be signals from your subconscious, not just medical issues, and offers a powerful invitation to see postpartum as a chance for deep self-reflection and generational healing. This is for every mom (and dad) who's ever wondered, “Is this just hormones, or is there something deeper going on?”   #PostpartumTruth #GenerationalHealing #ConsciousParenting #IntegrativeYou #MindBodyConnection #BreakTheCycle #MomLifeUnfiltered #HealingJourney #EmotionalWellness #ParentingRealTalk   3 Key Takeaways: Postpartum is a Mirror: Having a baby brings unresolved emotional wounds and subconscious patterns to the surface—don't ignore what's coming up, it's feedback for growth. Symptoms Are Signals: Physical issues (from thyroid to gut to heart) often reflect deeper emotional conflicts or misalignments, not just “bad luck” or “bad genes.” Healing is Generational: Processing your own stuff isn't just for you—it breaks cycles so your kids don't inherit your unhealed trauma. Invest in yourself, and you invest in your family's future.    Quotes:  “When you bring a baby into the world, everything shows its face. All the shit that you haven't processed, all the shit that you brushed under the rug… everything shows its face.” “Your kid is literally a little mirror of all your shit that you haven't dealt with. So if you can fix yourself as a parent, your kids will be way better off.”   Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube  Apple Spotify   2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

At my monthly Ask Me Anything Webinars,  I always get questions about hormone therapy- when to start, when to stop, if the dose should be changed as women get older, and what to do if someone continues to have symptoms or continues to bleed…  In this episode, Dr. Risa Kagan and I answer submitted questions.  We start by briefly running through the established indications for starting menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), and then Dr. Kagan and I discuss the “what ifs” of hormone therapy.   Do you have to wait for 12 months without a period before starting MHT? If someone is taking birth control pills for control of perimenopause symptoms, at what point should they go off? And can they immediately transition to MHT or do they need to take a break and make sure they are no longer making estrogen? A  woman with severe hot flashes is having all day, all night hot flashes- how long is it going to take to get some relief?  Does it matter if it is oral or transdermal as far as the onset of action?  What are the chances of getting 100% relief?   If someone has started MHT but is still having flashes, how long should they wait before adjusting it?  What is the best starting dose if someone has severe flashes? High or low? A woman wrote in that she has been using a 0.75 patch, but continues to have severe flashes.  She got a serum level, and it is 10. Her doctor is reluctant to increase her dose. What would you tell her? A woman has tried four different protocols and has nuisance bleeding with all.  She had an ultrasound and biopsy, and it was all normal. She wants to continue MHT, but is tired of the bleeding. She wants to know which protocol is the least likely to cause bleeding An internist told a woman that after 5 years, it is time to go off her MHT.  What about if she is primarily taking it for hot flashes- how likely is it that her hot flashes will return?  What about if she is primarily on it for bone health (known osteopenia) and joint pain-? What about if she is primarily taking it for sexual benefits? (Libido, lubrication, orgasm) ? What about if she is primarily taking it because she is worried about dementia A woman decided to go off HT since she was only taking it for hot flashes and is now 10 years out. Her manicurist told her that she should taper; otherwise, her flashes will come back. Her gyne says, stop. What does Dr. Kagan say? A 60 year old woman started estrogen when she had a hysterectomy and ovary removal. She was told by her internist that there is no way she will still be having hot flashes in her 60s, and therefore no reason to continue her estrogen. Is that correct? What is the likelihood that she will still be having hot flashes in her 60s or 70s?  The next question is from a woman who increased her oral estradiol to 2 mg to get rid of her flashes,  but is still taking her original Prometrium dose 100 mg. Is that enough to protect the lining of her uterus? When do you increase it? A question from a Substack reader- “I used estradiol gel for 8 years at the start of menopause. I decided to stop it and did so for 3 years; however, my hot flashes (sleep, mood, etc) were relentless and violent. I decided to start again after a 3-years hiatus and at the age of 65. I feel so much better. Is this a problem having stopped and then started again a few years later?”  How can you tell the effectiveness of the HRT you're taking (other than no more hot flashes?) I still feel lack of motivation, low libido, joint aches and I'm so much slower running (1 min+/mile).  (What this really comes down to, is what are realistic expectations for what HT will do?)  How long can a postmenopausal woman stay on testosterone, estrogen and Progesterone?  Let's say a woman has been using a .05 estradiol patch but her skin is really irritated and has decided to try the spray instead.  What is the equivalent dose? A woman with a hysterectomy who is taking estrogen alone has been taking a 1 mg estradiol pill. She has decided to switch to conjugated equine estrogen since she would like breast protection.  Is that correct thinking? If she is going to make the switch, what is the equivalent dose?  A 51 year old is no longer having hot flashes but wants to continue her transdermal estrogen since she has low bone mass and is worried about progression to osteoporosis. What is the minimum dose of estradiol to ensure that she is getting maximum bone protection?  Many questions came in about initiating hormone therapy after age 65... Dr. Risa Kagan is a Clinical Professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at the University of California, San Francisco, and a consulting gynecologist with Sutter Health.  Other episodes with Dr. Kagan Episode 114- Is Duovee the Ideal Hormone Therapy?

Your hormone levels are perfect. Your doctor says everything looks great. So why do you still feel like garbage? When cortisol is running the show, your cells can't use the hormones you're taking. This episode of the Medical Disruptor reveals why BHRT works brilliantly for some people and fails completely for others, even on identical doses. We'll cover how chronic stress hijacks your entire hormone network, what cortisol dysregulation actually looks like in your daily life, and the exact levers you need to stabilize before your hormone therapy can finally work. You'll learn what to track for two weeks, which lifestyle changes actually move the needle, and what tests to request when your doctor says your labs are fine but your body disagrees. If you've been told to just increase your dose or that your symptoms are "probably stress," this gives you a better framework. The problem isn't that you need more hormones, it's that your system can't use what you're already taking. Looking to schedule a consultation with Dr. E?

Das exklusive Experiment von «Einstein» zeigt, was die Nutzung von Künstlicher Intelligenz wie ChatGPT mit dem Gehirn macht. Welchen Einfluss hat KI auf die Hormone und wie wollen Schulen, Lehrpersonen sowie Entwicklerinnen und Entwickler von KI unsere Denkfähigkeit bewahren? Das Experiment Verblöden wir, wenn wir täglich künstliche Intelligenz nutzen? Das exklusive Experiment von «Einstein» zeigt, was die Nutzung von KI wie ChatGPT mit unserem Gehirn macht, welchen Einfluss KI auf unsere Hormone hat und wie wir in Zukunft lernen müssen. Und: «Einstein» zeigt, wie Schulen, Lehrpersonen sowie Entwicklerinnen und Entwickler von künstlicher Intelligenz unsere Denkfähigkeit bewahren wollen. Die Entwicklerin Lisa Richenberger, 18, hat eine eigene künstliche Intelligenz, KI, entwickelt. Die KI kann ihr sagen, ob ihr Zimmer aufgeräumt ist oder eben nicht. Hinter der banalen Frage stehen etliche Entscheidungen und Daten. Sie ist Teil der AI Challenge der ETH Zürich, der Eidgenössischen Technischen Hochschule. Wichtig sei, dass die Jung-Forschenden ausprobieren und einen Prozess durchlaufen, sagt Fiona Könz, die die Challenge von der ETH begleitet. «Einstein» zeigt, ob Lisa die Challenge gewinnt oder nicht. Die Forscher Sind sprachbasierte KI-Modelle bereits so gut wie unser Gehirn? Gonçalo Guiomar forscht am AI Center der Eidgenössischen Technischen Hochschule ETH in Zürich. Seine Daten zeigen nun, dass KI beinahe so erfolgreich ist wie unser menschliches Gehirn, wenn es um das Erinnern und Lernen geht. Nutzen wir KI nicht als Werkzeug, sondern als Denkersatz, können wir vieles verlernen. Es brauche ein gutes Lern-Umfeld, sagt Gonçalo Guiomar, damit unsere Denkstrukturen nicht verkümmern. Die Praktikerin An der Pädagogischen Hochschule in Zürich PHZ ist KI ebenfalls ein zentrales Thema. Wie vermitteln wir KI? Welche KI dürfen Schülerinnen und Schüler nutzen? Ab welchem Alter ist es sinnvoll, KI in der Schule einzusetzen? Diese und mehr Fragen treiben Lehrerinnen und Lehrer um, wenn es um KI an Schulen geht. Studien der PH Zürich zeigen, dass vor allem Kompetenzen wie kritisches Denken und Kreativität im Zusammenhang mit KI neu gedacht werden müssen. Das Resultat Angelehnt an eine Studie des Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT zeigt «Einstein» mit einem Schreib-Experiment, welchen Effekt KI auf unser Gehirn hat. Das Experiment zeigt: Je tiefer und vielfältiger unser Gehirn sich mit einem Thema auseinandersetzt, desto zufriedener sind wir mit unserer Leistung. Und: Nutzen wir KI, können Zitate aus einem geschriebenen Essay nicht reproduziert werden. Unsere Denkleistung wird circa 15-mal weniger aktiviert, wie wenn wir einen Aufsatz analog schreiben.

As active women, muscle is the engine that powers us through our lives, no matter what sport we love. When we hit midlife and menopause, it can feel like that 8-cylinder engine drops to six—less punch when we hit the gas, even though we're still training. We may notice less muscle and more body fat when we look in the mirror. Muscle and strength loss during the menopause transition is multifactorial. It's hormonal changes and estrogen decline. It's inflammation. It's symptoms like poor sleep, joint pain, and fatigue. It's body fat gain. It's how we recover and fuel. And, of course, it's aging itself, as both women and men lose muscle with age. Our approach to making and maintaining it has to be multifactorial as well. This week we talk all about muscle and menopause–from basic science to menopause symptoms to hormone therapy–to understand what's going on under the hood and help keep that engine strong.Carla DiGirolamo, MD, PhD, is a Double Board Certified Reproductive Endocrinologist and Obstetrician/Gynecologist specializing in infertility and menopausal medicine.

You'll also learn how lifestyle shifts—like sunlight, nature time, sleep rhythm, and balanced training—can help rebalance cortisol even when life stress is unavoidable.

When you understand your numbers, you can take control of your health." – Marina Pavlovic Rivas "You shouldn't have to feel 'crazy' or alone. What you're experiencing is common, but it's not something you have to normalize." – Marina Pavlovic Rivas "Women deserve access to their own data without asking for permission." – Marina Pavlovic Rivas "It's not about doing everything.

Episode 25:49 Your Stubborn Belly Fat May Be Caused By Too Much Of THIS Hormone Not all weight gain is caused by diet. For example, there are millions of Americans who are following a low calorie, "clean" diet and still can't lose weight or get rid of their belly fat. Interestingly, for many of these individuals there is a hormone involved… a hormone that's NOT Insulin. Instead, it's a hormone that their body NEEDS but is producing far too much of. A hormone that is directly related to weight gain, stubborn belly fat… and several other health issues. On this episode I talk about this seldom discussed hormone. What it is… why it gets overproduced… and how its levels can be corrected. Be sure to give this episode if you deal with stubborn belly fat (or weight gain in general), high blood sugar levels, high blood pressure, inflammatory disease or thyroid issues. And, as always, please share it with a friend. Thanks! ———————- Want to learn more? Continue the conversation regarding this episode, and all future episodes, by signing up for our daily emails.

In this solo episode, Dr. Jannine Krause breaks down the growing buzz around peptides, bioregulators, and microdosed hormones.  Plus she explains how combining them strategically can transform stubborn women's health complaints after 40 like weight gain, belly fat, fatigue, night sweats, poor concentration and insomnia. She shares what she's seeing work in real time with patients, why so many people waste money on the wrong peptide or supplement stacks, and how these therapies can help restore cellular function, lower inflammation, and support hormone balance. You'll learn the key differences between peptides and bioregulators, how to layer them with foundational health habits, and the biggest mistakes to avoid when experimenting with the latest longevity tools. What You'll Learn in This Episode The difference between peptides and bioregulators and why you may need both Why peptides on their own don't work if foundational health isn't dialed in How bioregulators help repair and restore specific tissues and organs When microdosed hormones enhance instead of disrupt peptide results Common signs you're using the wrong peptide for your symptoms Why many women overspend on supplements when peptides/bioregulators could streamline their protocol Dr. Krause's clinical insights on choosing the right tools for fatigue, weight gain, perimenopause symptoms, and healing plateaus How to think like a "vitality detective" and build a personalized longevity strategy Who is not a good candidate for peptides or bioregulators Resources From the Show Follow Dr. Krause on Instagram: @drjanninekrause for clinical insights & behind-the-scenes looks at treatment strategies Join Dr. Krause's email list: weekly tips, root-cause strategies, and VIP updates on peptides & hormone optimization along with access to free masterclasses and future training announcements - head to doctorjkrausend.com Check out my website - doctorjkrausend.com for prior episodes on hormones, longevity, and fatigue recovery
