In this episode, we detail the bidirectional relationship between the HPA axis and the intestinal barrier, illustrating how HPA axis dysfunction and cortisol dysregulation can impact intestinal permeability. We further discuss how intestinal dysbiosis can contribute to HPA axis overstimulation. Lastly, we detail some of the roles of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and secretory IgA (sIgA) in this bidirectional relationship.Topics: 1. Overview of the HPA Axis and Gut Bidirectional Relationship- Chronic HPA activation, intestinal permeability, mucosalimmunity, and microbiome composition. 2. Components and Function of the HPA Axis- Hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal glands. - Stress signals from the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, CRH release from the hypothalamus. - CRH stimulates ACTH release from the pituitary.- Cortisol production and release. 3. Structure of the Intestinal Epithelial Barrier- The gut barrier consists of the intestinal lumen, microbiome, mucus layer, epithelial cells, and lamina propria. - Specialized epithelial cells: goblet cells, enterocytes, enteroendocrine cells, and more.- The lamina propria contains immune cells, blood vessels, and lymphatics, supported by a smooth muscle layer. 4. Intestinal Permeability and Tight Junction Regulation- Transport across the intestinal epithelium: transcellular and paracellular pathways. - Nutrient absorption and selective permeability. - Tight junction proteins, such as occludin and claudins. 5. Cortisol's Impact on Gut Barrier Integrity- Cortisol can cross the intestinal microvascular endothelium and enter the lamina propria. - Chronic cortisol exposure and intestinal barrier function.- Increased permeability allows luminal antigens and bacterial endotoxins (e.g., LPS) to infiltrate the lamina propria. 6. Secretory IgA (sIgA) and Gut Immune Function - Chronic cortisol exposure can reduce sIgA levels, weakening mucosal immunity. - sIgA neutralizes pathogens, prevents microbial adhesion, and more. - Lower sIgA levels increase susceptibility to dysbiosis and infections. 7. CRH and Its Role in Intestinal Permeability- CRH is produced in the hypothalamus and also peripherally.- CRH can stimulate mast cells, triggering histamine and inflammatory mediator release. - Mast cell activation can increase gut permeability. 8. Microbiome's Influence on HPA Axis Regulation- Dysbiosis can disrupt HPA axis function.- IBS and sustained HPA activation.- Dysbiosis reduces SCFA production. - SCFAs, particularly butyrate, support colonocyte health, tight junction integrity, and anti-inflammatory pathways. - Inflammation and HPA axis dysfunction. 9. Root Cause Approach & Closing- Chronic cortisol exposure, CRH signaling, and gut barrier dysfunction. - The microbiome influences stress response and HPA axis activity. - Roles of SCFAs, sIgA, and tight junction proteins.- Addressing gut dysbiosis and GI-derived inflammation can support HPA axis regulation. - Root cause approach.Thank you to our episode sponsors:1.

With either high or low cortisol in menopause, the way you exercise has to change. Yet, this is a gap in fitness education for trainers, instructors and coaches who don't get training specific to women in menopause. So, whether you're here for yourself or here as a coach or trainer who does now or wants to coach women in midlife and beyond, this episode is for you. In this episode, I talk about the impact of exercise intensity on cortisol and how cortisol is used for the energy to do exercise, cortisol changes that occur in menopause, and what's really wrong with the way we can interpret the signs of high or low cortisol… all so you can avoid making mistakes that might make you worse, or prevent you from ever having an issue in the first place. Questions We Cover in This Episode: Why are high or low cortisol in menopause so prevalent? [00:04:00] What's the difference between someone “apparently healthy” and high or low cortisol? [00:04:30] How would you test to know? [00:11:30] Without testing what does abnormal cortisol feel like? [00:13:50] How does exercise impact cortisol levels? [00:16:30] What mistakes do women (and trainers & coaches) make with exercise recommendations? [00:28:10] Looking at Exercise Science for High or Low Cortisol in Menopause Low-intensity exercise may decrease cortisol levels or keep them steady. Prolonged activity, however, can cause cortisol to rise. Moderate to high-intensity exercise increases cortisol. Prolonged “aerobic” exercise at higher intensities can significantly elevate cortisol concentrations. At about 45 minutes, to less than an hour, cortisol begins to rise significantly above resting levels and then not have the corresponding fall that is beneficial for us. This elevated cortisol response can occur even with exercises you've done for years. With declining estrogen, life itself becomes more stressful. For women engaging in long endurance activities without proper fuel, recovery, or adjustments, results may stall—or even backfire.. This doesn't mean giving up long runs or rides forever but prioritizing muscle, bone, and brain health temporarily. Why Elevated cortisol is indicative of muscle catabolism, increasing the loss of lean muscle tissue. This is a significant health concern for the growing elderly population. The rate of cortisol production changes as we age and has differing responses to exercise intensities in males and females. Cortisol production is correlated with exercise intensity and duration but does not increase the same across all exercise intensities. Higher exercise intensities and duration appear to be the main contributing factors that influence the production of cortisol, increasing the potential for muscle catabolism and muscle loss. The longer the duration, or the higher the intensity, and certainly both combined, the greater the increase in cortisol. Other factors like heat, humidity, intake of carbohydrate and hydration can impact cortisol levels. Last, of course the higher the conditioning level you have the less of a stress response (cortisol rise) you're going to have to the same level of duration or intensity in a deconditioned level. That is, the stress response will occur sooner for the deconditioned than later. Low Cortisol Solutions When Dealing with High or Low Cortisol in Menopause With low cortisol levels (adrenal stress), overtraining is the biggest risk. Small exercise snacks, lower intensity exercise is the first step. Gradually adding in resistance training in short sessions to support blood sugar stabilization is the goal. Monitor to be sure you don't go backward. Keep in mind cortisol and adrenaline are needed to support intense exercise. Your body doesn't currently have it, so high intensity workouts like intervals and metabolic conditioning (bootcamp style) are not favorable for you. You won't benefit from them right now. Low intensity and low volume resistance training would mean lower rep ranges and higher number of sets (3-5) with a few compound exercises. You're going to skip old school advice for 8-10 exercises for each muscle group. High Cortisol Solutions when Dealing with High or Low Cortisol in Menopause Short interval sessions or metabolic conditioning can be effective, but be mindful to keep them short. Start with 1 session and add a second only if it's improving, not draining your energy. These sessions may help reduce cortisol, but going too long, even if it feels good, can backfire. Neurotransmitters may push you to continue, but elevated cortisol and adrenal fatigue will eventually catch up. High cortisol breaks down muscle, so strength training is essential. Use heavier weights and increase your rest time (by using balance exercises, stretches or core) to make the most of your time. The HPA-Axis issue, that is adrenal fatigue, needs time away from longer duration and high intensity workouts to allow the brain and adrenals to start communicating effectively again. It doesn't have to be permanent. Train earlier in the day, balancing sleep and exercise, especially if work adds stress. Overworking, lack of movement, or poor stress management may have contributed to current challenges. Use weekends wisely – skip long workouts and focus on a solid strength session one day and yoga or walking the next. Prioritize earlier sessions that don't require an alarm clock for optimal recovery and hormonal balance. Signs You're Recovering from High or Low Cortisol in Menopause Check Your Appetite: You should have one, but not cravings especially, soon after meals. Appetite can be sluggish with low cortisol and either high or low with high cortisol. Your Energy level: Should be stable throughout the day. For low energy getting up, maca can be a natural support for your own system to self-regulate. It's an herb most women can take, however check if you have had breast cancer, there are some contraindications and a medical advisory board you can check with. I found this super helpful and within a week of taking this felt better back in early 2020. Sleep Should Improve: Whether you struggle to fall asleep, stay asleep or simply are not waking rested, this should begin to improve. (That is, if you're doing your job to prioritize sleep).

This episode explores three top topics from episodes in 2024: the mucus layer's protective role in maintaining gut barrier integrity, the bidirectional relationship between the microbiota-gut-brain axis and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and the importance of methylation and the MTHFR gene. During the first topic of discussion, we detail ways to support the intestinal mucus layer; as we approach the third topic of discussion, we highlight the impact of MTHFR enzyme activity on methylation, emphasizing its importance for many cellular processes. Topics: 1. Introduction: 3 Top Topics of 2024 2. The Protective Mucus Layer Over the Intestinal Epithelial Lining The intestinal barrier: intestinal lumen, microbiome, mucus layer, epithelial cells, lamina propria, and more. The mucus layer functions as both a physical and biochemical barrier. Goblet cells secrete mucins, which form the gel-like mucus layer, critical for maintaining barrier integrity. Dysregulation of mucus turnover can lead to increased intestinal permeability and inflammation. Supporting mucus levels: SCFAs, N-acetylglucosamine (NAG). Plant-derived mucilage and sources. 3. HPA Axis and Microbiota-Gut-Brain Interactions The HPA axis and the stress response. Microbiota-gut-brain axis. SCFAs produced by gut bacteria can influence gut barrier integrity and stress resilience. Dysbiosis disrupts SCFA production, weakens the gut barrier, and triggers inflammation. Dysbiosis and HPA axis dysregulation. Chronic cortisol secretion and secretory IgA. 4. The MTHFR Gene and Methylation Methylation involves transferring methyl groups. The synthesis of SAMe, the universal methyl donor: methionine and ATP with active folate (L-methylfolate) as a precursor. MTHFR gene polymorphisms reduce enzyme efficiency, impairing methylation and affecting DNA stability, neurotransmitter synthesis, and detoxification. Strategies, supplements, and more to support methylation. Thank you to our episode sponsor: 1.

In this episode, we dive into the interplay between the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and the microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis, highlighting their bidirectional communication through endocrine, immune, and neural pathways. We'll explore how gut-derived metabolites like short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and endotoxins like LPS influence HPA axis activity; conversely, we explore how dysregulated cortisol can impact gut barrier function, immune signaling, and more. We also discuss testing including stool analysis and DUTCH tests. Topics: 1. HPA Axis and MGB Axis Interaction The HPA axis and microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis are bidirectionally connected. Gut microbiota influences the HPA axis via metabolites and more 2. Overview of the HPA Axis and Cortisol Secretion Stress signals activate the hypothalamus to release CRH. Stimulates the anterior pituitary to produce ACTH. ACTH signals the adrenal cortex. The adrenal cortex releases cortisol, which binds to glucocorticoid receptors (GRs). 3. Cortisol Dysregulation Impact on Intestinal Health Intestinal lining anatomy: epithelial cells Tight junction proteins regulate nutrient trafficking and prevent pathogen entry. The mucosa contains epithelial cells, connective tissue (lamina propria), and a thin muscle layer. 4. Glucocorticoid Receptors (GRs) in the Gut GRs are intracellular receptors that modulate gene expression when activated. Cortisol binding causes GRs to translocate to the nucleus and bind DNA at GREs. GRs on epithelial cells. Modified tight junction protein expression. 5. Gut Microbiome's Role in HPA Axis Activity SCFAs, including acetate, propionate, and butyrate, produced by gut bacteria fermenting dietary fiber. SCFAs support gut integrity, reduce inflammation, and act as signaling molecules. A diverse and healthy microbiome can enhances HPA regulation via SCFAs. 6. SCFA Modulation of the HPA Axis SCFAs and cortisol. Research highlights SCFAs' ability to attenuate stress-induced cortisol increases. 7. Dysbiosis - Impact on the HPA Axis Dysbiosis reduces SCFA production, impairing gut barrier integrity and immune signaling. Dysbiosis, intestinal hyperpermeability and LPS. LPS activates inflammatory pathways. 8. Inflammation and Dysregulated HPA Activity Chronic inflammation and cortisol. Inflammatory signals from the gut exacerbate systemic and neural stress responses. 9. Symptoms of HPA Axis Dysfunction Chronic fatigue, disrupted sleep, mood disturbances... 10. Identifying Root Causes Dysbiosis, chonic infection / chronic inflammation... DUTCH Test Stool analysis Thanks for tuning in!

Welcome to the SYNC Your Life podcast episode #266! On this podcast, we will be diving into all things women's hormones to help you learn how to live in alignment with your female physiology. Too many women are living with their check engine lights flashing. You know you feel “off” but no matter what you do, you can't seem to have the energy, or lose the weight, or feel your best. This podcast exists to shed light on the important topic of healthy hormones and cycle syncing, to help you gain maximum energy in your life. In today's episode, I'm interviewing Kelsey Jack, Nutritional Therapist and founder of Wholly Well Academy. We dive deep into adrenal burnout, blood sugar regulation, mineral deficiency, how many women eat as opposed to how they should eat, and so much more. Kelsey's health issues started young when she struggled with chronic ear infections and was prescribed too many antibiotics to count. Later in life, she started noticing erratic energy, chronic sports injuries, and skin issues. Her health issues spilled into college while long distance running at Baylor University. Soon before getting married she became medically injured. She broke out in full body skin lesions, developed chronic anxiety, chronic UTIs, and severe adrenal fatigue. After getting pregnant with her daughter, she developed severe insomnia, and after a traumatic labor, noticeable PTSD. Completely fed up with the traditional medical model of care, and getting an “answer” that always included a prescription or bandaid, she went on a quest to get real answers and find true healing. After finding some answers and doing self-healing work, she started implementing solutions from several holistic practitioners and listening to every podcast she could about adrenals and how they affect mood, anxiety, sleep and so much more. She saw a naturopath and chiropractor consistently, and her panic attacks and sleep started to resolve slowly. But there was one missing component: Nutrition. Her health difficulties sparked a whole new interest in learning and listening to our bodies, how nutritional deficiencies manifest in the body, and so much more. A friend recommended the Nutritional Therapy Association and she enrolled the next day. Her passion is now to help others save hours of research, trial and error, and guessing, and really get to the root cause of their chronic fatigue, mood and sleep imbalances. She teaches others about the serious effects of HPA Axis dysregulation and blood sugar imbalance in the body and how it can lead to common struggles like anxiety, depression, hormone imbalance, fatigue, insomnia, inability to properly manage stress, and so much more. She recently launched The Fatigue Blueprint Program, a 3 month telehealth program with a high level education portal, specialty functional lab testing, 2x/month private consultations, and live and post recorded group coaching.

How does food affect our mood? Does diet actually impact our mental health? What is a gut micro-biome, and can we still eat a few chips without ruining it?In this Academy of Imperfection episode, we are joined one of the worlds leading experts on the relationship between what we eat, and how it effects our mental health, Professor Felice Jacka. And if can we trust anyone to get to the bottom of the vagus nerve ‘highway'; our hippocampus shrinking; our mitochondrial reaction to ultra-processed foods (don't worry we didn't know these words before either) - it's her. There was a lot to 'digest' in this chat (so to speak), but thankfully, there is so much we can do, by making informed choices about what we put in our bodies, to improve our mental health.

Episode Title: 29. How Circadian Rhythms Can Transform Your Hormonal Health Host: Lacy Lain, The Functional Medicine Woman Episode Summary: In this episode of Functional Medicine for Women, Lacy Lain delves into the critical connection between women's functional health and circadian medicine. She discusses how circadian rhythms impact mood, anxiety, and depression, potentially leading to HPA axis dysfunction and hormonal imbalances. Lacy shares practical tips to help reset your circadian rhythm and improve overall well-being. Key Points: Understanding Circadian Rhythm: Circadian rhythms are influenced by external cues like light and darkness. Morning sunlight exposure can improve sleep quality and mood. Hormonal Insights: Melatonin: Produced in response to darkness; optimal production requires morning sunlight exposure. Cortisol: The stress hormone, follows a daily rhythm; peaks in the morning and levels out during the day. Imbalances in melatonin or cortisol can lead to poor sleep quality, chronic fatigue, and anxiety. Impact of Lifestyle Choices: Irregular sleep patterns, shift work, and late-night screen use can disrupt circadian rhythm. Simple changes like establishing a bedtime routine and reducing screen time can improve circadian health. Circadian Rhythm and Mental Health: Disruptions in circadian rhythms are linked to mood disorders, anxiety, and depression. Studies highlight the importance of maintaining regular sleep patterns and light exposure. Practical Tips for Better Sleep and Hormonal Balance: Set a consistent sleep schedule: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Reduce exposure to artificial light at night: Use blue light filters or dim lights in the evening. Spend time outside in natural light: Aim for at least 30 minutes of sunlight exposure daily, preferably before 10 a.m. Additional Lifestyle Factors: Diet and Exercise: A balanced diet and regular physical activity support healthy circadian rhythms. Stress Resilience: Building stress resilience through methods like cold showers or cold plunges (under guidance) can enhance emotional balance. HPA Axis and Hormonal Health: Chronic circadian disruption and elevated cortisol levels can lead to HPA axis dysfunction. This dysfunction affects thyroid function and reproductive health, causing symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and irregular menstrual cycles. Personal Experience and Insights: Lacy shares her personal journey with hormonal imbalances and how functional medicine helped her achieve regular cycles and better health. Actionable Takeaway: Start improving your circadian rhythm today by setting a consistent sleep schedule, reducing exposure to artificial light at night, and spending time outside in natural light.

Summary In this episode of the "Muscles and Mindset" podcast, obesity medicine expert, Dr. Ali Novitsky, is joined by her triple board-certified husband, Dr. Mark Novitsky, for a deep dive into the dynamics of energy within relationships. The Drs. Novitsky explore the concept of empaths and how genetic traits can result in absorbing others' emotions and energy, potentially leading to stress. They discuss high versus low vibrational energy and the phenomenon of "energy vampiring" where high vibrational individuals attract those with lower energy. The importance of maintaining one's energetic health in a relationship is emphasized, especially when both partners are empaths with high vibrational energy. The discussion extends to stress and its physical effects on the body, particularly through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and its influence on eating habits and overall health. Through personal anecdotes and hypothetical scenarios, the Novitskys illustrate how relationship dynamics can affect physical and mental well-being. They advocate for setting boundaries, the distinction between sympathy, empathy, and compassion, and the crucial role of compassion in maintaining a healthy relationship. They also address thought distortions like the "should" mentality, advocating for a shift towards "could" to reduce anxiety and stress. The conversation covers the significance of communication and addressing relationship stressors directly. The episode concludes with highlights of their offerings, including the "31 Days of Fit" program, combining physical workouts with mental coaching, and the upcoming "Transform® 8.0," promising an enriching journey with a special bonus for early sign-ups. Listeners are left with insights into navigating relationships with a healthier mindset, emphasizing the care of physical, mental, and energetic health. Takeaways Energy and empathy are interconnected, and the ability to manage and protect one's energy is crucial for emotional health. High vibrational energy attracts positive experiences and people, while low vibrational energy can drain and deplete individuals. Relationship stress and energy vampiring can have a significant impact on physical health, including metabolic health and the mind-gut connection. Setting boundaries, managing thought distortions, and practicing compassion are essential for maintaining healthy relationship energy. Open communication, understanding, and support are key in navigating relationship dynamics and promoting overall well-being.

The women who are often in the WORST position are the ones who have been conditioned to living in “fight or flight”. It feels normal... they might even thrive off pressure and “perform better”. I'm talking to you high achievers.... Trouble is, regardless of whether or not you FEEL stressed, it's all the same to your body...
