Some of the “normal” things we do to unwind are quietly wrecking our bodies, and alcohol might be at the top of that list. You might not realize how much the occasional glass of wine is disrupting your hormones, wrecking your sleep, and sabotaging your detox efforts until you take a closer look at the research. And once you hear what it's doing to your thyroid, testosterone, liver, and brain chemistry, it's hard to ignore. That's why I asked Dr. Erika Schwartz—a pioneer in hormone health and founder of Evolved Science—to come break it all down. In this episode, Dr. Erika explains how alcohol impacts every single hormone in your body, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and even your sleep-regulating neurochemicals. She talks about how alcohol contributes to hypothyroidism, depletes your zinc and B vitamins, and accelerates aging, and why hormone replacement therapy could be life-changing (especially if you've hit your 40s and can't sleep). And we talk solutions. Like how to replace alcohol as your stress reliever, how to balance hormones safely, and what you can do right now to feel better.   “The earlier you start changing your diet, cutting back on alcohol, balancing your hormones, exercising, and sleeping regularly, the more likely you are to enjoy your life.” ~ Dr. Erika Schwartz   In This Episode - Dr. Erika's backstory - What alcohol does to your hormones - The hormones that are most affected by alcohol - How the body metabolizes alcohol - Liver health and alcohol - Testing for liver cirrhosis and hormone imbalances - Debunking the “one glass of wine is healthy” myth - Alcohol's negative impact on sleep quality and insulin regulation - GABA, dopamine, and why alcohol feels relaxing - Alternative ways to relax without alcohol - Progesterone and alcohol cravings (and how to fix it) - Other health issues tied to alcohol consumption   Products & Resources Mentioned Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com  Tru Energy Skincare Serum: Get a special deal at https://trytruenergy.com/wendy  Chef's Foundry P600 Cookware: Find it at https://bit.ly/myersdetox  Heavy Metals Quiz: Start at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About Dr. Erika Schwartz Dr. Erika Schwartz is a board-certified MD and founder of Evolved Science, a cutting-edge longevity clinic based in New York City.

Can't seem to balance your hormones and get rid of frustrating symptoms like anxiety, irregular cycles, or weight gain no matter what you do? Chances are, your hormones aren't actually the root cause of those symptoms, but are actually your body's “check engine light”. In this Salad with a Side of Fries episode, Jenn Trepeck and functional medicine expert Jillian Greaves dish on hormonal health, revealing how to read your body's symptoms for real answers and real results. Jenn and Jillian explain why hormones are your body's check engine light, highlighting root causes such as chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies, or disrupted blood sugar balance. They dive into the chaos of perimenopause, where cycles can feel like a guessing game, and share why trendy fixes like intermittent fasting often backfire on women's health. Jillian's journey highlights the power of self-advocacy and foundational habits, such as nervous system support and proper hormone testing, particularly during the mid-luteal phase. Together, they offer practical, no-nonsense strategies to help you work with your body, not against it, for lasting hormonal health.The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, who discusses wellness and weight loss in real life, clearing up myths, misinformation, and bad science surrounding our understanding of nutrition and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store.IN THIS EPISODE: (00:00) Introduction(02:02) Your hormones are a check engine light, indicating underlying health issues (06:25) Jillian Greaves shares her hormonal health journey(08:11) Symptoms are the body's way of communicating imbalances, urging women to support their hormonal health(12:14) Hormones respond to deeper dynamics like nutrient deficiencies or stress, requiring investigation into the causes of hormone imbalances(15:29) For perimenopause, tracking cycles and monitoring symptoms helps to aid in managing hormonal health (17:24) Testing hormones during the mid-luteal phase is crucial for accurate assessment(20:57) Foundational practices like blood sugar balance, sleep, and circadian rhythm regulation are essential for supporting hormonal health (23:15) Reduce physical stressors by focusing on low-impact, strength-based movement to support hormonal health(26:33) The tools you use to support your nervous system need to be sustainable(28:47) Trends and extremes can be detrimental to long term health(31:58) A discussion on Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as a quick fix for hormone imbalances(40:28) Become a member today for $10 per month; prices are going upKEY TAKEAWAYS:Hormones act as a check engine light, signaling underlying issues like under-eating, over-exercising, or chronic stress rather than serving as the root cause of our symptoms.Focus on foundational health practices—such as maintaining blood sugar balance, promoting sleep, regulating circadian rhythms, and supporting the nervous system—to naturally regulate hormonal health.Avoid trendy fixes like prolonged fasting or elimination diets; prioritize sustainable, personalized approaches to address perimenopause and hormone imbalances.QUOTES: (12:40) "One of the biggest mistakes we can make is overly fixating on the hormone itself.

*Trigger warning: we share personal experiences about miscarriage in this episode*In this heartwarming (and off-the-cuff) episode, Jess and Rye sit down with their mom, Candace Burch — hormone health educator, founder of Your Hormone Balance, and living testament to aging with vibrance. Candace shares pivotal life lessons from her 20's, 30's and 40's. From her first shaky steps with hormonal birth control in the 1960s, to getting pregnant in her late 30s, to navigating perimenopause and ultimately becoming a fierce advocate for hormone testing and natural balance. This candid conversation is packed with wisdom for women at every life stage.Key Talking Points:— The powerful (and unintended) impact of going on hormonal birth control in her 20s — acne scars, mood swings, and why she wishes she'd had cycle awareness tools.— How feeling “broody” in her mid-30s led to embracing motherhood after years of living footloose in Europe (and selling art out of a van in France!).— Her traumatic miscarriage experience in Paris, what she learned about progesterone, and how it actually sparked her desire to have children.— The reality of having kids in her late 30s and early 40s, then heading straight into perimenopause with unpredictable moods and hot flashes.— How hormone testing, lifestyle changes, and bioidentical progesterone cream changed everything — plus why personalized testing is essential.— What women in their 20s & 30s should start doing now to support future hormone balance, fertility, and graceful aging.— Why it's never selfish to prioritize your health, and how Candace keeps thriving (and dancing past midnight) at 77.Resources Mentioned:

Tucked deep within the brain and no larger than a pea, the pituitary gland is often called the body's “master gland.” It oversees the endocrine system—a network of glands and organs that produce hormones regulating everything from growth and metabolism to reproduction and mood. At Pacific Neuroscience Institute's Pituitary Disorders Center, endocrinologist Dr. Noa Tal specializes in identifying and treating hormone and endocrine imbalances. Patients may present with a wide range of symptoms—unexplained weight gain, irregular menstrual cycles, hot flashes, or mood changes—that often seem unrelated. In cases like Cushing's disease, a pituitary tumor triggers excess cortisol production, resulting in a puzzling array of symptoms. Sometimes the cause is even more elusive, such as side effects from medications. That's where careful clinical investigation comes in. Dr. Tal and her interdisciplinary team work closely to uncover the root of hormonal issues and guide patients toward not just better outcomes, but better quality of life. Listen in!

Hormones and Mental Health: Why Perimenopause Can Rewire Your Brain Are you struggling with fatigue, brain fog, or mood swings and wondering if it's “just stress” or something more? Hormone changes in perimenopause and menopause don't just affect your body—they rewire your brain and can disrupt neurotransmitters that regulate mood, sleep, and energy. This episode dives deep into how hormone balance impacts mental health and what you can do to support your mind and body during this transition. In this episode, I unpack the surprising ways estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone influence your brain chemistry and how their decline during perimenopause can create a ripple effect on serotonin, dopamine, and GABA—the neurotransmitters responsible for happiness, focus, and calm. Here's what you'll learn in this episode: The startling link between dropping progesterone and rising anxiety—and how this hormone acts as nature's calming agent. Why estrogen is critical for serotonin and dopamine production, and what happens when levels plummet in your 40s and 50s. How testosterone loss affects motivation, confidence, and libido (yes, it matters for women too!). Practical steps to stabilize mood, improve sleep, and regain mental clarity without overhauling your entire routine. This episode is packed with actionable strategies—from tracking your symptoms to creating a hormone-friendly sleep and nutrition plan. I also share quick nervous system resets and explain how small shifts in diet, movement, and stress management can rebalance your mood and metabolism.

Hey Friend, Have you ever heard, “Everything looks normal,” even though you feel anything but normal? Maybe you're still exhausted—even after a full night's sleep. Your brain feels foggy, your energy crashes mid-morning, and your body feels out of sync. You're not crazy. And you're definitely not alone. As a board-certified functional health practitioner, I see this all the time—especially in high-achieving Christian women navigating fatigue, hormone imbalances, digestive issues, anxiety, and mood swings. The truth is, conventional medicine shines in emergencies—but it often fails women with chronic symptoms. Why? Because it treats surface symptoms instead of addressing root causes like inflammation, adrenal dysfunction, or blood sugar instability. In this week's podcast episode, we're unpacking the truth behind your symptoms and what your labs might really be saying. You'll discover: ✅ Why conventional medicine keeps missing the mark for exhausted women ✅ How functional medicine gets to the root and offers real answers ✅ The biggest mistake doctors make when interpreting labs—and how to look at them through a functional lens If you've been told, “You're fine” but your body is clearly saying otherwise, this episode will be a game-changer. ✨ You'll learn how to decode your labs through God's design for healing, finally connect the dots, and take confident, simple steps toward true restoration.

Dr. Amparo Santamaria describes a #research paper she co-authored that was #published in Volume 17, Issue 6 of Aging (Aging-US), titled “Enhancing oocyte activation in women with ovarian failure: clinical outcomes of the Stem Cell Regenera study using G-CSF mobilization of peripheral blood stem cells and intraovarian injection of stem cell factor-enriched platelet rich plasma in real-world-practice.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.206274 Corresponding author -Amparo Santamaria - Amparo.santamaria@ivirma.com Video interview - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRFJNwnXZWI Abstract The study assesses the effectiveness and safety of the Stem Cell Regenera Treatment for oocyte activation in women with ovarian failure, including conditions such as Poor Ovarian Response (POR), Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR), and Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI). This retrospective observational study was conducted from January 2023 to December 2024 at the IVIRMA Alicante Clinics in Spain. Women diagnosed with ovarian failure participated in the study, which involved mobilizing Hematopoietic Stem Cells from bone marrow into peripheral blood using granulocyte colony- stimulating factor (G-CSF). This was followed by an intraovarian injection of Stem Cell Factor- enriched Platelet Rich Plasma (SCFE-PRP). The primary outcome measures were the rate of oocyte activation, leukocytes and stem cell count, and pregnancy rates. Oocyte activation was defined as an increase in total Antral Follicle Count of three or more follicles after treatment and/or at least a 20% rise in Anti-Müllerian Hormone levels. Safety was assessed based on adverse effects. Pregnancy rates were evaluated for both spontaneous gestation and following in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. A total of 145 women participated: the overall activation rate was 68.28%, with 7.07% achieving spontaneous gestation and 14.14% achieving pregnancy following IVF.

In this vulnerable and unfiltered episode, I sit down with my mom to talk about something many women go through, but few talk about openly: midlife weight gain, hormonal changes, and starting a GLP-1. After gaining 55 pounds with no major lifestyle changes and struggling with symptoms like fatigue, hot flashes, anxiety, and loss of muscle, my mom found herself at a health crossroads. We walk through the emotional and physical toll this took, her experience going off hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and what finally led her to try tirzepatide (a GLP-1 medication similar to Ozempic). This episode isn't just about weight loss, it's about reclaiming your life, making empowered health choices, and what happens when you start advocating for your own wellness. We also talk anxiety, alcohol, sleep, family dynamics, and yes, why my mom is already seeing mental clarity within days of her first dose. If your mom (or you!) is silently dealing with hormone chaos, frustrating weight gain, or health confusion, this episode will make you feel seen, supported, and informed. 00:00 Life updates, small talk & avocado toast inflation 04:00 My mom's health scare & going off HRT 07:00 Symptoms spiral after stopping hormone therapy 10:00 Shocking lab results: cholesterol, blood sugar & hormone crash 12:00 The decision to start tirzepatide (Ozempic-like medication) 15:00 What happened after her first dose (mental clarity, food noise, no cravings) 18:00 My evolving opinion on Ozempic 20:00 Women's hormones are misunderstood—here's what we've learned 24:00 Monitoring with InBody scans, strength training, and muscle preservation 27:00 Our honest feelings on weight, lifestyle changes & identity 33:00 Why I might never drink alcohol again (full breakdown) 44:00 10 facts that made me rethink alcohol for good 48:00 Newsletter updates & book recs from my mom 54:00 What we're reading this summer 56:00 Travel talk & life reflections 59:00 Wrapping up + dinner's ready!

This episode starts with a Very Special introduction in which I explain what's been going on with the podcast over the last six months (lots of different offerings, which possibly caused some confusion) and talk about the ongoing challenges of the subscriber model. (Short version, please stick around!) I then have the great pleasure of interviewing evolutionary biologist Dr. Carole Hooven, who's been a speaker at several Unspeakeasy events but never actually a guest on the podcast. As we approach the four-year anniversary of the publication of her book, T: The Story of Testosterone, the Hormone that Dominates and Divides Us, Carole recounts how a media appearance defending “male” and “female” as meaningful scientific categories led to unexpected controversy and her eventual departure from Harvard, where she'd taught for many years. She talks about how ideological influence has made even basic scientific facts about sex contentious and cites the importance of precise use of language, especially on topics like sex differences and women's rights, which she feels have been muddied by cultural and political agendas. Most fascinatingly (to me, anyway), Carole argues that a predominantly female, progressive teaching culture favors girls' learning styles—while boys, wired differently by biology, are stigmatized and alienated. Meanwhile, it's become culturally verboten to even acknowledge men's intense sexual drives and emotional vulnerability, and she calls for a return to rites of passage that acknowledge male biology without shame. Finally, we talk about a recent controversy surrounding her husband, MIT philosophy professor Alex Byrne (who was a guest on the podcast back in March 2024), after he was invited to contribute to a U.S. Health and Human Services report on sex and gender. Although the team was politically diverse, Alex's name was leaked via PDF metadata, and he faced fierce criticism from activist students and colleagues. He responded with a Washington Post op-ed explaining his position. GUEST BIO Dr. Carole Hooven is a human evolutionary biologist, the author of T: The Story of Testosterone, the Hormone that Dominates and Divides Us, and a nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.

You've been told your labs are “normal,” but your period is MIA, ovulation's a no-show, and pregnancy is STILL not happening. In today's episode, we're busting the myth that normal labs = everything is fine. If your body is showing clear signs that something's off, you need more than a copy-paste lab report—you need real answers, and a plan that honors YOUR body's needs. We're breaking down the most important labs for period loss and fertility (like FSH, LH, Estradiol, AMH, and more), what they actually mean, and why “low-normal” isn't the green light it seems. If you're being gaslit with the phrase “everything looks fine,” this episode is exactly what you need to listen to.
