Osteoporosis is showing up at younger ages in women.  So, waiting until menopause to start thinking about your bones is just way too late. That's why in this episode, I'm joined by orthopedic medicine expert Dr. Doug Lucas for a powerful conversation on bone health, aging, longevity, and why your bones are one of the most important (yet often overlooked) pieces of your long-term wellness.  We'll dive into the surprising ways your daily habits impact your bone density—and what you can do right now to protect and even rebuild your bones as you age.  Dr. Lucas breaks down the importance of supporting your musculoskeletal system, screening and early prevention measures, and why your 30s and 40s are critical decades for building lifelong bone strength.  Strong bones mean a strong life—and it's never too early (or too late!) to start taking care of them! Doug Lucas, DO   Dr. Doug Lucas is a double board-certified orthopedic surgeon turned osteoporosis specialist. His mission is to show the world that osteoporosis is preventable AND reversible. He's the founder of Optimal Human Health MD and PEMA BioIdentical, as well as the creator of The OsteoCollective– where he empowers others to optimize bone health, hormones, and longevity. IN THIS EPISODE The importance of bone health throughout ALL of adulthood  Imaging and biomarker screening for osteoporosis detection   Factors driving bone loss in younger women  The role hormones play in bone health and bone loss  Lifestyle strategies to enhance bone health and longevity  Strength training recommendations for building strong bones HRT for women to improve bone health  QUOTES “I get it from a public health perspective, you want to screen when you're most likely to see the disease… But that doesn't help us prevent it. And preventing osteoporosis is so much easier than reversing osteoporosis.” “If you are a postmenopausal woman, I strongly encourage you to consider bioidentical hormone replacement, because estradiol is the biggest tool you can use for bone health.”  RESOURCES MENTIONED Dr. Doug's Masterclass on Osteoporosis Reversal  Dr. Doug's Website: Osteo Collective  The Dr. Doug Show on YouTube The Dr. Doug Show podcast  Dr. Doug on Instagram Dr. Doug on Facebook Perimenopause Revolution RELATED EPISODES #576: How to Build Bone, Muscle, Tendon, and Metabolic Resilience in Perimenopause and Menopause with Dr. Vonda Wright #552: The Midlife Muscle Crisis: Why Maintaining Muscle Is Necessary For Fat Loss, Strength and Longevity with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon 638: Unlocking Mobility, Strong Bone, and Healthy Joints in Midlife with Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein #554: The Little Known Connection Between Declining Hormones and Bone Loss Plus Tips How to Build Stronger Bones with Kevin Ellis

This is a Fan Fav episode. From the very start of this conversation, I was fired up! I brought Dr. Aviva Romm on Women of Impact—an M.D., midwife, herbalist, and author of Hormone Intelligence—to unravel the web of confusion and shame that keeps so many women feeling powerless about their hormones, periods, and health. Aviva exposes the damaging myths we're taught, reveals how our cycles impact everything from our confidence to our career momentum, and—let me tell you—it's not about “just suffering” through being a woman. Get ready to find out the best times in your cycle for asking for a raise, why you may want to hide your credit card before your period, and how you can start tracking your unique “normal” so you feel confident, not crazy. Aviva and I dive deep, get super tactical, and, real talk, help you reclaim your power—because knowledge is, truly, power. SHOWNOTES The truth about what's “normal” vs. what's common when it comes to women's hormones and periods How environmental factors—including antibiotics and toxins—affect your hormonal health from childhood Why feeling moody, suffering, or being “out of control” isn't actually normal for women The life-changing impact of tracking your cycle for confidence, career moves, and emotional well-being Planning your life around your menstrual cycle: confidence highs, energy peaks, and when to avoid shopping sprees How gut health, food choices, and the microbiome influence mood, hormones, and overall vitality The critical link between self-blame, misdiagnosis, and delayed treatment for issues like endometriosis Dispelling myths around birth control: what your doctor probably never told you about side effects How to nurture a positive relationship with your body, pleasure, and sexual desire through each hormone phase Turning lifestyle changes—not quick fixes—into real, lasting hormonal balance and personal empowerment FOLLOW DR.

Plastics are deeply woven into the fabric of our everyday lives—from the water bottles we sip from to the skincare products we apply, and even the yoga pants we wear. But beneath this modern convenience lies an alarming truth: plastics are loaded with hormone-disrupting chemicals that may be sabotaging your fertility, energy, mood, and overall health.In this powerful and eye-opening episode, I share Elena's real-life story of how eliminating plastic exposure for just 30 days dramatically improved her hormone balance, energy, skin, and sleep—and ultimately helped her conceive naturally after 3 years of trying.

218: In this episode, I'm covering one of the most requested and controversial topics in women's health—whether breast cancer survivors can safely use hormone replacement therapy (HRT). To help answer this complex question, I'm joined by Dr. Corinne Menn, a board-certified OB-GYN, Menopause Society certified practitioner, and Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Dr. Menn brings a powerful blend of clinical expertise and lived experience. She's a 23-year breast cancer survivor, BRCA gene carrier, and went through premature menopause herself. We cover what the research really says about HRT after breast cancer, risks versus benefits, the reality of estrogen deprivation, and why “it depends” is the only honest answer. Topics Discussed: → Can breast cancer survivors safely use HRT? → Is hormone therapy after breast cancer risky? → What are the benefits of estrogen for cancer survivors? → Does HRT increase breast cancer recurrence? → Are there safe hormone options for BRCA carriers?

In this episode, I'm joined once again by my friend Kashif Khan to explore why the same supplement or treatment can help one person but harm another.

What if we told you that your menstrual cycle isn't a weakness to overcome—but a superpower to embrace? In this bold and empowering episode of The Hormone Genius Podcast, Jamie and Teresa are joined by Jillian Bosak, women's health and performance coach, founder of Jillian B. Well, and a passionate advocate for redefining what it means to be a thriving, high-performing woman—in sync with your cycle. Jillian brings to light the often-overlooked truth: most women are being trained, coached, and supported as if they were men. With only 6% of sports science research conducted exclusively on women, the female experience in fitness, performance, and health is being sidelined. But not anymore. Together, we dive into: Why birth control being labeled as “women's healthcare” is a disservice—and what women actually need How tracking your cycle gives you clarity, power, and performance insights What athletes (from everyday movers to pros) should look for when syncing training with their cycle How your hormones are not the problem—they're your secret weapon Why the female body is not fragile, and how to stop suppressing what makes it uniquely strong Jillian's message is clear: You are not broken. You are brilliantly designed. And when you understand your hormones, you unlock a level of strength and confidence that can radically shift your life and training—for good. This episode is for women, coaches, athletes, and anyone who wants to stop fighting their body and start working with it. Whether you're an everyday athlete or pushing elite-level performance, your hormones matter. And it's time the world recognized that.

Are you ready to tackle the unique challenges of wellness after 40? In this empowering episode of Salad with a Side of Fries, Jenn Trepeck hosts a comprehensive Q&A explicitly designed for women navigating midlife. From boosting energy to balancing hormones and thriving through menopause, Jenn covers it all, starting with a deep dive into key hormones like estrogen and progesterone and how they affect weight loss, energy, and fat distribution.Jenn explores the realities of menopause and perimenopause, including changes to the menstrual cycle, shifts in fertility, and the importance of protein for muscle and bone health. You'll learn how phytoestrogens may offer symptom relief, how gut health and the parasympathetic nervous system impact mood and nutrient absorption, and how better sleep can help reduce brain fog and fatigue. Whether you're adjusting your routine or looking for expert-backed tips to feel your best, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you navigate midlife with confidence and clarity.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 nutrition knowledge 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: (01:19) Jenn shares her professional relationship with Christine(06:13) Jenn discusses estrogen, progesterone, fat removal and weight management(13:07) How age affects menopause, menstrual cycle, fertility and estrogen levels(19:45) What is the role of protein over 40, and how to maintain muscle and bone health(25:36) Discussion of hormones to support weight loss, energy, and phytoestrogens(30:46) Your gut, nutrient absorption, and the parasympathetic nervous system(36:24) Improving sleep quality and managing fatigue and brain fog. What about nap time(42:17) Discussion of signs and treatments for menopausal symptoms and supplements(48:13) Common health risks for women in their late 30s and 40s, and related medical tests(51:39) What ingredients are most effective for aging skin, adjusting the skin care routine(57:50) Reducing fine lines, wrinkles and age spotsKEY TAKEAWAYS:The challenge with weight loss after age 40 is primarily due to the decline of estrogen and progesterone production, which reduces insulin sensitivity, impairs sleep, and alters fat distribution, making fat removal (not just weight loss) slower and more difficult. Sustainable fat loss prioritizes health over rapid results.Low estrogen and progesterone levels can impact mood, sleep, and appetite, leading to an increased desire for comfort foods. Phytoestrogens (e.g., wild yam, black cohosh) and fiber-rich foods (e.g., cruciferous vegetables) support hormone metabolism and mood stability.Women over 40 need ~1 gram of protein per pound of body weight daily (4-6 ounces per meal, 2-3 ounces per snack) to maintain muscle and bone health. Resistance training, weight-bearing exercise, and minerals (e.g., magnesium) are critical.Low estrogen levels can cause skin dryness and wrinkles. Hydration, vitamin C, retinol, and hyaluronic acid improve skin appearance. Consistent skincare routines (cleanse, tone, treat, moisturize) reduce the appearance of age and Gua Sha massage may reduce menopausal symptoms like hot flashes.QUOTES:        (06:25) "There is fast weight loss at any age, provided you don't care how long it lasts or what happens to your health." - Jenn Trepeck(08:20) "Estrogen, the presence of estrogen and increased estrogen when we're younger in life, keeps us more insulin sensitive. It keeps us more metabolically fit." - Jenn Trepeck(21:27) "We want to aim for a gram of protein for every pound of body weight." - Jenn Trepeck(27:01) "We have less wiggle room. That estrogen was our cushion and when you eliminate the cushion, you've got less wiggle room." - Jenn Trepeck(31:00) “Bottom line, your gut is responsible for nutrient absorption and communicating all over the body.” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramHormones and Body Composition (feat.

Brendan Vermeire, FMHP opens with a powerful assessment: Americans are sicker than ever, weighed down by lifestyle-related illness, toxic overload, and chronic stress. He stresses mindset—victim vs. victor mentality—as the pivotal factor in healing, followed closely by consistent exercise. We then explore the hidden burden of environmental toxins (glyphosate, EMFs, mold, VOCs, microplastics, PFAS) that erode hormonal balance, metabolism, and immunity. Brendan argues that while pharmaceuticals like Ozempic have a role, they must be used within the context of proper nutrition, movement, and psychological resilience. Finally, he pitches his new “Mastering Mold Illness” course and textbook—designed to train practitioners and help more people reclaim their lives.00:00 – 01:00 | Brendan agrees: “The American collective has never been more compromised.”01:00 – 03:00 | Lifestyle-induced illness: 88% metabolically ill, 70% overweight—“It's staggering.”03:11 – 05:00 | Mindset matters: “Victim or Victor, it's your choice.”05:15 – 06:30 | Power of resilience: “Placebo‑nocebo... do I believe I can heal?”09:36 – 10:07 | Exercise wins: “What type of movement do you enjoy?”14:19 – 16:31 | Toxic environment: “We ingest, breathe, drink… this toxic soup.”20:05 – 21:03 | Hormones + peptides: “Can move the needle fastest with quality of life.”32:34 – 35:02 | Blood chemistry: “People who apply themselves in the gym get better results.”36:14 – 38:36 | Ozempic nuance: “Minimum effective dose is always a good way to go.”40:06 – 41:35 | Course launch: “Mastering Mold Illness” and accompanying textbook.

Too many women are being told NO to getting hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for their menopause symptoms in midlife.  But the truth is… the benefits of HRT can WAY outweigh the risks for helping you feel like yourself again. The problem?  The massive knowledge gap in hormonal medicine.   That's why this week, I'm joined by the incredible Dr. Louise Newson, a trailblazing general practitioner and menopause specialist who's transforming the conversation around hormone health.  We're diving into the real risks of not prescribing HRT, why hormones can be a game changer for your symptoms, and the surprising link between menopause, migraines, and inflammation.  Dr. Newson is bringing the science and clarity to the HRT convo, and she's here to help you reclaim your voice—and your hormonal health.  Listen here to set the record straight and start advocating for what you truly deserve! Dr. Louise Newson Dr. Louise Newson is a physician, women's hormone specialist, and member of the UK Government's Menopause Taskforce. She's an award-winning doctor, educator, and author, dedicated to raising awareness of women's health in perimenopause and menopause. Dr Louise studied Medicine and Pathology at The University of Manchester in England and worked in hospital medicine before switching to specialize in General Practice and medical writing. IN THIS EPISODE The revolution of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy  Synthetic vs. bioidentical hormones  Advocating for yourself and addressing the conversation of hormone replacement therapy options with your doctor  Individualizing hormone replacement therapies  Hormones for addressing conditions like migraine  How hormones affect women's long-term health  HRT for mitigating inflammation in the entire body  Lifestyle suggestions and habits to promote hormonal balance  QUOTES “Let's just remind ourselves that hormones are an evidence-based treatment and the guidelines are telling us that it has more benefits than risks for the majority of women. Yet… It's only a minority of women in our countries and other countries that are receiving it.”  “It's harrowing what people are being told by their clinicians. And they often just want advice. They don't always want treatment, or they want to know the treatment options available to them in the future. But they're not getting any answers, and I think this is a great disservice to women.”  “I see a lot in the clinic, women who have seen all sorts of specialists, have all sorts of treatments, but no one's spoken about their hormones.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Dr. Louise Newson's Website Dr. Newson's Instagram Dr. Newson's Podcast Get Dr. Newson's FREE Balance App: Your go-to for Menopause Health  Pre-order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution HERE!  RELATED EPISODES  #647: Hormone Optimization Therapy (HOT) Isn't Your Mom's HRT + It's One Of The Best Strategies For Longevity with Dr. Amy Killen #648: This Changes Everything: The Perimenopause Revolution Every Woman Needs Now #620: What You Need to Know About Premature Menopause, Perimenopause, HRT and Your Options with Dr. Salome Masghati #605: Breaking the HRT Confusion: The Truth Behind Hormone Replacement Therapy for Perimenopausal Women with Karen Martel

Dr. Scott and Tommy break down why you might be struggling to lose weight despite your best efforts, and it all comes down to one thing most people ignore: sleep.

The hosts explain how lack of sleep messes with your hunger signals, making you way hungrier the next day while your metabolism slows down - it's like your body is working against you. But here's the good news: Dr. Scott and Tommy share simple, practical tips you can use tonight to fix your sleep. They'll tell you how to set up your bedroom for better rest, when to stop drinking coffee, why eating late ruins your sleep, and how to create an evening routine that helps both your sleep and your weight loss goals.

In this groundbreaking conversation, "The Conscious Gynecologist" Dr. Andrea Salcedo joins Dr. Philip Ovadia to uncover the profound connection between women's reproductive health and metabolic health. Dr. Salcedo shares startling research showing how insulin resistance impacts everything from PCOS and gestational diabetes to uterine fibroids and gynecologic cancers.You'll learn why the same inflammatory processes that cause heart disease also create uterine fibroids, how pregnancy naturally induces a state of insulin resistance to protect the developing fetus, and why morning sickness serves an important biological function. Dr. Salcedo explains how traditional gynecological approaches often miss the metabolic root causes of women's health issues, leading to band-aid solutions rather than addressing the underlying insulin resistance.With her unique background as both an academic researcher and metabolic health advocate, Dr. Salcedo provides practical insights into how lifestyle changes can dramatically improve gynecological health without relying solely on medications or surgery. The conversation shatters common misconceptions about female health problems and offers a new framework for understanding women's bodies beyond the "just hormones" explanation.Whether you're struggling with reproductive health issues, planning for pregnancy, or simply want to understand the intricacies of female health, this conversation offers vital information that most medical professionals aren't discussing. Listen now to discover why one in three women lose their uterus by age 60 – and what can be done to prevent it.BIG IDEAGynecologic diseases like PCOS, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids aren't just "female hormone problems" – they're manifestations of metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance that affect the entire body.Andrea Salcedo, DO - Contact InfoWebsite: https://www.consciousgynecology.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/consciousgynecologist/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@consciousgynecologistX: https://x.com/consciousgyneSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

Too emotionally attached to the lesser version of their selfs."What has us excited or intrigued:Client shoutout: Kallie What makes us happy:Question 2 (26:55) - When it comes to hormones, I find mine often work against me.

Every gym bro's on 'test' now — but is TRT actually helping or just creating jacked zombies? Nick Pell investigates on this Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Nick Pell!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1172On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:TRT can address real medical issues. Testosterone replacement therapy can genuinely help men experiencing symptoms like chronic insomnia, severe depression, and extremely low energy levels. For some men, it can be life-changing treatment for legitimate medical conditions.Serious health risks are real. TRT carries significant risks including blood thickening (stroke risk), cardiovascular strain, permanent fertility loss, and dependency. These aren't minor side effects — they require ongoing medical monitoring and mitigation strategies like regular blood donation.Many clinics operate as cash grabs. The industry is flooded with clinics that will prescribe TRT to almost anyone willing to pay, regardless of actual medical need. These facilities often charge $200+ monthly for treatments that cost $35 elsewhere and use aggressive fear-based marketing.TRT creates physical dependency. Once you start, stopping requires medical supervision similar to coming off antidepressants or other serious medications. Your body stops producing natural testosterone, and post-cycle therapy may not restore normal levels, especially after long-term use.Make informed decisions based on symptoms, not just numbers. Before considering TRT, honestly assess how you actually feel — your energy, mood, and quality of life matter more than blood test numbers alone. If you feel fine but have "low" test numbers, you may not need treatment. Conversely, if you feel terrible but have "normal" numbers, discuss options with a knowledgeable doctor who takes your symptoms seriously.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
