Podcasts about Hypothalamus

Send us a text- On-Demand Programme Link - https://mailchi.mp/bb2a7b851246/kairos-centreMen's brains are configured very differently when it comes to a response to sex. There are 3 areas to know about - which are over twice the capacity of the female:The Medial Pre-optic Area (MPOA): Is an area of the Hypothalamus that regulates various physiological and behavioural processes. The MPOA is packed with twice as many neurones and density. Since it has a larger capacity in males, this is why males tend to be more visually stimulated and do more 'objectification'.The Third Interstitial nucleus of the Anterior Hypothalamus (INAH 3) - the seat of human sexuality - also contains twice as many neurones in males and occupies a greater volume than females, regardless of age.The Amygdala is also twice as big in males. It is the brain's command and control area. (I call it the 'Smoke alarm in the kitchen which goes off when you burn toast'); the Amygdala detects loss of homeostasis and triggers a 'Fight/Fight/Freeze' protective response in the Limbic brain.All of these processes are reactive to testosterone. Remember that Testosterone is (on average) 20 times more in males than in females. Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) binds and carries/transports sex hormones like Oestrogen, Testosterone and Androgens to the organs where they are needed. Therefore regulating the proportion of sex hormones that are available to the body. Different events (like a disease process) can cause SHBG levels to rise and become too high or too low. Women have 13 times more SHBG than men.Essentially, a mismatch between males and females (in the working of the brain) during sex. Listen to the rest of the audio to piece together how this all impacts the personality of the sexes during hook ups and arousal.Get some help from The Kairos Centre. See what you cannot see.

Send us a textShort Summary: The science of obesity and appetite regulation, blending genetics and neurobiology with practical insightsAbout the guest: Giles Yeo, PhD is a professor of molecular neuroendocrinology at the University of Cambridge. He leads a lab studying obesity and appetite regulation.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Full transcript and other information on Substack.Episode Summary: Nick interviews Dr. Giles Yeo about the genetics and neurobiology of obesity, starting with the discovery of leptin in the obese mouse model, detailing its role in appetite regulation via the hypothalamus, and discussing GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic for weight loss. It delves into how genetic factors, like the leptin-melanocortin pathway, influence hunger, the heritability of body weight, and societal factors driving the obesity epidemic, emphasizing the interplay of biology and environment.Key Takeaways:Leptin, discovered through the obese mouse, signals fat levels to the brain, but its absence causes severe obesity and infertility, as seen in rare human mutations.The hypothalamus, a key brain region, senses hormones like leptin and GLP-1, balancing hunger and satiety through POMC (anorexigenic) and AgRP (orexigenic) neurons.Body weight heritability is 40-70% at the population level, but this does not mean that 40-70% of someone's body fat composition is due to genetic factors outside human control. Dr. Yeo unpacks how to think about it.GLP-1 drugs (e.g., Ozempic) mimic gut hormones to reduce appetite, offering some people 15-25% weight loss, but require long-term safety monitoring.According to Dr. Yeo, obesity reflects energy imbalance, but nutritional density matters more than calorie counting for health, and societal changes are needed to prevent it.Related episode:M&M #132: Obesity Epidemic, Diet, Metabolism, Saturated Fat vs. PUFAs, Energy Expenditure, Weight Gain & FeediSupport the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, etc. at the M&M Substack Affiliates: Lumen device to optimize your metabolism for weight loss or athletic performance.

You're doing it all but could there be hidden mistakes hijacking your menopause fitness. Increasing protein, lifting weights, doing high intensity… How can you be this active but not working?  Disclaimer: This could trigger you. The mistakes hijacking your menopause fitness you could be doing on purpose because you were told once this is what you SHOULD DO.  This episode is for all women, and for you. So let's unpack these mistakes hijacking your menopause fitness.  Before anything.. Measure.  If you aren't measuring your body composition - skeletal muscle mass vs. body fat—you won't truly know what's working. I'll link to the 4 Smart scales in my store. You can get a Dexa or go to a gym. #1 Not Consuming Enough Fuel Women are not the same as men on carbohydrate needs. We get little, we disrupt hormones. You are influenced by cortisol, insulin, thyroid, testosterone, growth hormone and the endocrine.   How much fuel do you need? Endocrine dysfunction - ~30-35 calories per kg of FFM in women; but around 15 calories per kg FFM in men. Fat Free Mass (FFM) - say you're 130kg and you have 25% body fat. You need 2923 kcals to keep your body functioning well.   Fueling Your Workouts: Cardio: 30g carbs and 15g protein before Strength: 15g protein before + 30-45g protein after (higher in and after menopause)    Thyroid & Carbohydrates Low carb diets (under 100g) - pivotal point for lower thyroid function.  Serotonin - produced in the gut, declines with low carb diets.  Low-carb diets - don't lead to better weight loss long-term, they cause water loss.   What Happens When You're Under-Fueled?Low Energy Availability from brain (hypothalamus) to body… Hypothalamus signals HPA axis dysfunction Adrenals releases cortisol Thyroid slows metabolism Body conserves energy and breaks down muscle instead of fat for fuel   When You Fast, try one of these: High intensity intervals  Lift heavy weights  High intensity boot camp class  Reduce carbs, maintain a keto-like diet while increasing your walks   Know the Sneaky Mistakes Hijacking Your Menopause Fitness #2 Never REALLY Recovering From Hard Intervals or Hard Workouts  Some bootcamps and spin classes are rapid, high-intensity intervals without adequate recovery. Your cortisol levels during this session accumulate.  It feels like you crushed it, but here's the truth: if you're not giving yourself real recovery, you're not hitting your peak.  When you skip the full recovery, you're not building the strength and power that protect against sarcopenia (muscle loss). Try these: Warm-up A:  Run up a steep hill for 40 seconds Mark that point on the hill Slowly go back down Fully recover, with your nasal breathing. Repeat until you don't make it to the same spot on the hill Warm-up B: Run up a steep hill for 40 seconds Mark that point on the hill Quickly make your way down Cool down within 60 seconds Immediately run up again Repeat until you don't make it to the same spot on the hill They both will feel hard, but only one gets you to your maximum capacity.  The glycolytic fibers - fast twitch that sustain power fatigue quickly. Women have fewer of them than slow twitch and lose twice as fast as slow-twitch fibers. Fast-twitch fibers need power moves — like heavy lifting or box jumps — and plenty of recovery to reload and go again.  You're fooling yourself into thinking you're getting in better shape.  So test yourself… a simple protocol you can do at home. Try a full test battery you can easily do at home - I'll provide access to it in the show notes as soon as it's ready.  Measure. Monitor your waist girth, your body fat percent and your skeletal muscle. Rate your energy, sleep, focus, digestion and elimination. Are you improving, worse or the same? When you're exercising optimally these things also improve. It's not just muscle mass and fat.    Are these Mistakes Hijacking Your Menopause Fitness?   #3 Relying on Caffeine, Bar Codes and Over Emphasis on Packaged Food By nature, your cortisol level is highest at about 8am. You've fasted overnight and if you're not eating soon after waking, especially if you're exercising as a female, your body has stressor on top of stressor: Punched your ticket in midlife (less estrogen, more cortisol) Caffeine (more cortisol)  No fuel (more cortisol)  Exercise (more cortisol)  Fuel before intense exercise.  Fuel again after, especially within the 24 hour period after resistance training or other HARD workouts the need for recovery persists, so it's not just that single meal following activity. #4 Always High and Hard You have never needed high intensity more in your life than whatever age over 40 you are now.  You also need full recovery … between intervals, strength training sets and sessions.  Here's the secret: Muscle gets stronger between sessions. The exercise is the stimulus. The recovery is where fitness happens – the release of hormones, the repair and supercompensation.  Recovery time. Get AT LEAST 48 to 72 hours between hard use of the same muscle groups. Active Recovery. The low intensity movement between your hard sessions is absolutely important in increasing circulation, blood sugar stabilization, improving sleep and mood and overall fitness levels.    Keep It Simple: Movement Time. Walking at the level below where cortisol negatively spikes so you can reduce or optimize it. Short & Intense. Spend small amounts of time in high intensity interval session - where you recover completely between sessions. All Major Muscle Groups. Spend 2-3 sessions a week hitting all major muscle groups or twice to total muscle fatigue. If you're in post menopause, the volume of sets has to be greater compared to a perimenopause woman. Recover. Give yourself at least 48 hours.. 72 is often BEST.  Resources: Flipping50 Membership Flipping50 Insiders Group   Other Podcasts You Might Like: Previous Episode - Is Red Light Therapy the Answer to Aches, Pains and More Movement?

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain how two key hormones control metabolism and discuss tools to enhance their levels to improve metabolic health. I discuss the pathways through which the brain and body interact to produce thyroid hormone and growth hormone, and how these hormones influence essential processes like tissue growth and repair, body composition, and energy production. I explain how thyroid hormone levels are influenced by key nutrients, such as iodine, selenium, and L-tyrosine. I also explain how practices such as exercise, sleep, meditation and sauna can offset age-related declines in growth hormone, to optimize overall hormone health and metabolism. Huberman Lab Essentials are short episodes (approximately 30 minutes) focused on essential science and protocol takeaways from past Huberman Lab episodes. Essentials will be released every Thursday, and our full-length episodes will still be released every Monday. Read the full episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain how hormones regulate hunger, appetite and feelings of satiety (fullness), along with strategies to help control appetite. I describe how the body senses nutrient levels and how the brain processes these signals to stimulate hunger or suppress appetite. I also discuss how certain foods can help curb hunger, while processed foods and emulsifiers can interfere with satiety signals, leading to overeating. Additionally, I cover how lifestyle factors such as exercise and meal timing regulate blood glucose levels, which in turn impact hunger and appetite. Huberman Lab Essentials episodes are approximately 30 minutes long and focus on essential science and protocol takeaways from past Huberman Lab episodes. Essentials will be released every Thursday, while our full-length episodes will continue to be released every Monday.

Psychologist Maria Ruberto is back to talk about one of the most important parts of our day: sleep. Starting off with the biology of sleep, Maria takes us through how we get to sleep, what happens when we sleep, and why we desperately need to sleep for good health and longevity. With metaphors galore to make the science as relatable as possible, we discuss the role of melatonin, the impact of screens on our suprachiasmatic nucleus and whether it’s worth cutting your sleep short to exercise? In more practical terms, Maria shares what sleep hygiene actually looks like, and, to Hugh and Josh’s relief, how hormones released during parenthood act to buffer against sleep deprivation. So set your sleep alarms, get comfy, and tuck yourself in for a BIG episode!

In dieser Folge will ich dir den weiblichen Zyklus näher bringen, bessergesagt die Biochemie des weiblichen Zyklusses. Ich erkläre, wie Hormone den Körper und die Emotionen steuern und warum es wichtig ist, dieses Wissen zu haben. Der weibliche Zyklus ist in vier Phasen unterteilt: Menstruationsphase, Follikelphase, Ovulationsphase und Lutealphase. Ich beschreibe die Hauptakteure wie Hypothalamus, Hypophyse und Eierstöcke und deren Rolle bei der Hormonproduktion. In jeder Phase erläutere ich die hormonellen Veränderungen und deren Auswirkungen auf das Wohlbefinden und die Emotionen. ——————————————————— Im Podcast erwähnt: Podcastfolgen Histaminintoleranz⁠ Folge 86: Histamin-Intoleranz - Das Chamäleon unter den Krankheiten Folge 188: Die Histamin-Östrogen Connection: Die Rolle von Histamin im weiblichen Körper Folge 211: Histaminintoleranz verstehen - Ursachen, Symptome und ganzheitliche Behandlungsansätze Buch: Zyklus-Balance: Wie du mit Female Food dein Potenzial ausschöpfst ⁠Cycle Sync Your Life Warteliste⁠ —————————————————— Du möchtest keine Folge verpassen und zusätzliche Tipps direkt in Dein E-Mail Postfach bekommen?

Neuronal and non-neuronal cells throughout the brain also express genes—particularly those related to neuronal structure and immune function—differently in aged mice, according to a new atlas.

Obesity is one of the most pressing health challenges of our time, with genetic and molecular factors playing a crucial role in how our bodies regulate weight. In this season opener, we explore the science behind obesity, focusing on how hormones, genetics, and brain circuits influence feeding behavior and body weight. Join us for a fascinating discussion about the interplay between molecular biology and real-world health outcomes.Our guest, Dr. Giles Yeo, is a professor of molecular neuroendocrinology at the University of Cambridge and an expert in the genetics of obesity. With decades of research experience, Dr. Yeo dives into how hormones like GLP-1 interact with the brain and how genetic mutations can affect eating behaviors. He also explains the innovative molecular biology techniques his lab uses to map brain circuits and decode the genetic influences on body weight.But this episode isn't all about the lab. Dr. Yeo shares his journey from studying the genetics of Japanese pufferfish to becoming a leading voice in obesity research and science communication. Whether he's decoding how Ozempic works or reflecting on the importance of good science communication, Dr. Yeo's passion for the field—and his knack for making complex topics relatable—shines through.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Jordan Peterson, Ph.D., psychologist, professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, best-selling author, and prominent online educator. We discuss the biology of human emotions and motivations, healthy versus destructive impulses, addictions, and generative drives. Topics include how brain states shape decision-making—for better or worse—and how religion and culture can guide us toward and through the best paths in life. We also explore the innate human drive to create "impact at a distance" and how it influences social interactions, educational pursuits, career choices, and relationships.

Hot flashes can catch us off guard, but understanding their roots can make a world of difference. In this episode, we're breaking down what's really behind those sudden heat waves and some surprising risks that come with them. Learn about the real power of bioidentical hormones—like estrogen and progesterone—and how they're not just for symptom relief but are vital for protecting your brain, heart, and bones. Plus, we'll talk about why tweaking your diet and reducing stress can help but can't replace the deeper hormonal support your body needs during menopause.   We're also getting into the bigger picture—how menopause isn't just about hot flashes but can increase your risks for things like heart disease and metabolic syndrome. We'll talk about hormone therapy, natural herbs that might help, and some practical tips for navigating this phase. I'm even sharing why stress can make hot flashes worse and how your estrogen levels affect more than you might realize, especially when it comes to your heart health. There's a lot here to help you feel more empowered on your menopause journey.   Oh, and before you go—let me introduce you to Estro Balance Mastery!

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog In general, I spend my time defending women and the fact that our problems and sexual physiology is ignored, by the governmental powers and physician organizations in the US, so I try to do my part to bring information to women about their hormones and the aging process. Today I am changing my focus to men and the way men's normal sexual function is considered a “normal” and rarely discussed outside the men's locker room and or porn sites. So here goes…The fact is that men's sexuality isn't just the act of sex, but men spend a lot of their sexual energy on fantasies and just thinking about having sex.  Men's ability to have an orgasm is not just a wham- bam—thank you…well you know the phrase…and there are many physiologic factors that must work, in the background to bring a man from thinking about sex or desire, to an orgasm. Sadly, in the current environment couples don't talk about sex….they don't tell their partner what makes them excited or even what they want…. because none of us can read minds, too many of us don't get what we want when it comes to sex. With lack of communication between partners, leads couples to trial and error without a map.  Neither sex knows how the other sex “works”.  I decided to describe the normal series of what men go through on their way to orgasm to educate them and their partners.  In addition, the process is not always the same in each person and as men age the time between the first sexual thought to completion gets longer and longer…sometimes these detours include episodes of losing an erection, sometimes getting it back and sometimes not which leads to frustration of both partners. In youth when a man's free testosterone is high and his arteries are free of plaque, between puberty and age 35, erections may occur often, and they last a long time if the man is stimulated for a long period of time. At this point sex is automatic and easy to complete to orgasm and ejaculation. As time goes on, free Testosterone starts to decrease with age, as does the diameter of a man's arteries…blood flow doesn't rush to the pelvis to create an erection like it did in youth. The things that lower free testosterone.  What happens with age that cause erections and ejaculation to be less and less automatic and easy? T and free T drops after age 35 in most men and becomes critical by age 55, even in healthy men. Ejaculate decreases due to lowering of free T Vasectomies decrease the volume of ejaculate by 1/3 Stress causes free T to decrease. Hypertension causes arteries to contract and deliver less blood to the pelvis for an erection. High blood sugar and diabetes destroys the arteries in the pelvis making blood have a more difficult time getting to the penis. Stress causes Cortisol to rise and free T decreases, Obesity increases the estrogens in men and that decreases free T by binding it with sex hormone protein and inactivating it. Any medication the constricts blood vessels (ADD medicine, Phentermine, speed, etc) decreases blood flow to the pelvis. Some medications that lower blood pressure lower It in the pelvis too low so that men are impotent (e.g. Lisinopril). For men who don't know all these medical, aging changes that happen to most men, these changes cause fear and anxiety which of course makes it worse.  Men who have this issue (most men) are even reticent to talk to me about it and they haven't talked to their spouse either. So here is what I tell them:  You are aging like everyone else, and that fact can't be changed, however, your lifestyle and your medical health, or poor health is affecting your orgasms and your ability to have sex.  These factors CAN be changed.  You can change your BP medicine to one that doesn't impair erections.  You can get your diabetes or obesity under control, and you can improve your erections.  However, to get it all back you will need testosterone replacement if your free T is under 129 ng/dl. The safest way to accomplish this is with my practice BioBalance® Health…we do it better and know all the tricks to making you healthy productive and potent! What is in the ejaculate? mature sperm are mixed with whitish, protein-rich fluids with prostaglandins are produced by the prostate. These fluids nourish and support the sperm so they can live after ejaculation for a limited time to fertilize an egg.  This mixture of fluid and sperm, known as semen, and is what is moves through the urethra in the form of ejaculate. Sensory stimulation travels from the skin to the brain and stimulates dopamine and endorphins which are neurotransmitters that make a man fee happily ecstatic during and after an ejaculation.  These neurotransmitters also stimulate the Hypothalamus to make oxytocin, a bonding hormone that binds couples together. Many nerves, vessels and the brain are involved in a successful sexual encounter. The culmination of a sexual encounter is complex and involves the whole body. I find it interesting that the “medical view” of orgasm is still divided into 4 different steps when, if you are a male (or even a female who has had sex with a male) the divisions seem very arbitrary and is ALWAYS connected to ejaculation. It is a fact that men and women can have sexual intercourse and orgasm without ejaculation. The following is how the practice of medicine describes the male sexual act.   In contrast I have educated my patients by comparing sex to a on the fact that men can have orgasms which occur in the brain when endorphins flood the neurons, even without ejaculation.  So I will discuss, the male sexual experience to them, not with the “4 easy steps of male sexual response”, but as a “process” of achieving orgasm in men.  It is more like a recipe, that requires each ingredient to be added in order, but sometimes you can stop in the middle and start again.  It is not always a straight line from sexual desire to orgasm. In general, all men need testosterone to have sexual desire, and sexual desire to have sex, however both men and women can be physically or visually stimulated to be aroused without true sexual desire. If the man has a long history of having sex often, then the habit of having a sexual response can be achieved without enough testosterone, however the erection will not necessarily last long enough.   Continued physical stimulation can bypass desire, and therefore testosterone, and a man can be stimulated into having an erection of sorts and into having an orgasm with or without ejaculate An erection requires testosterone to become fully erect, however there is a “work around” now and men without testosterone can have an erection with Viagra, Cialis pills, or prostaglandin injections into the penis itself. Men can also have a penile implant placed so they can have sex without testosterone or Viagra/Cialis. However, let's talk about sex with testosterone in men who have good pelvic blood flow who don't require medication to become erect. The second necessary ingredient after testosterone is stimulation, which can be with touch, visual stimulation, auditory stimulation or even imagination that causes a man to be stimulated. The sexual response to any of these stimulations send messages through the nerves from the brain to the pelvis that dilates his veins and arteries. This sends blood to the penis from the arteries and blocks the veins from draining the blood out.  This creates an erection. Testosterone's role is to cause the arteries to dilate by stimulating the production of nitric oxide from the arterial walls. Remember the stimulation? The ongoing stimulation (mental, visual, auditory or imaginary) keeps the erection hard with vascular dilation. At this point stimulation can be changed or paused and other stimulation can prolong this part of the process.  Holding the base of the penis can keep it hard, or any tight encircling toy can keep the erection from proceeding to orgasm for some time or the erection can go away without continued stimulation. The third step is the preparation for orgasm which can last from as long as 30 minutes and as short as 2 minutes. A clear “pre-ejaculate” is produced that lubricates the penis for intercourse, and if ejaculation is to take place there is a “loading of semen” that takes place from the seminal vesicles readying the man for ejaculation.  At this point the penis contracts the muscles quickly in rapid repeating emissions that shoot the semen out of the urethra. This is the orgasm and ejaculation that occur together, which is typical of normal youthful ejaculation.  As men get older the force at which they ejaculate decreases. After ejaculation/orgasm the brain is flooded in endorphins, the feel-good neurotransmitters, that make a human feel happy and satisfied.  This is solely the result of the orgasm after a sexual encounter. The feeling of ejaculation does relieve pelvic pressure but is not needed to experience orgasm in most men. Medical science has been able supply an assist for desire (testosterone) and erectile function (vasodilation and release of nitric oxide but they have not discovered the “pill” to make ejaculations occur or to improve their volume.  It is important for an aging man to accept that orgasm doesn't require ejaculation since we don't have an answer to recreating the youthful ejaculation.  Besides age, vasectomy can also limit ejaculation.  dehydration, vasoconstrictors, anti-hypertensive drugs and diuretics can limit the volume of the ejaculate as well. After the “process of sexual orgasm” the penis loses tumescence, blood leaves the pelvis and overall relaxation occurs throughout the body. Then a period of time must pass before another erection can occur.  Over time some “twice a day men” can turn into once every week…..this can be changed by practicing…..having sex more often. The sexual response in both men and women is more like a symphony with several movements, than a recipe, but it is definitely not a series of steps that is followed in every human in every circumstance. It is the job of the physician to help patients both understand and live with any variations in the sexual process.  Much of what I do is act as a teacher to my patients who need to understand their own bodies and any dysfunctions thereof.  Understanding becomes treatment over time.

Anxiety is built into all our brains, examining the role of trauma in building fear responses helps us understand how to combat fear. We can also learn how trauma manifests in General Anxiety Disorder, Borderline (BPD), Narcissism (NPD) and ADHD. By studying the neuroscience of how fear and anxiety work in the brain we understand how life events and trauma shape our perceptions. To overcome the different fears we can learn from strategies required for individuals with specific disorders relating to fear to reduce their emotional reactions. Fear is controlled by 4 main areas in the brain, the Amygdala, the hippocampus, the Pre-Frontal Cortex and the Hypothalamus. They can keep us healthy, alive, and functioning normally. But different life events can cause them to become impaired or over-active in subtle ways causing much greater levels of fear and irrational behaviours. The episode explores how fears hold us back and the specific chemistry and biology to creates it and techniques we can learn to rebalance our brain towards more rational thinking and level responses. Tune in to learn how understanding fear can help you master your own mind and improve your life. Upgrade to Premium:

This week, we are shifting our focus to hormones in mares.Many horse owners are eager to learn how to manage hormonal mares and better understand their behavior. While the most intense symptoms of hormone changes tend to surface in spring, chronic issues can persist year-round, making them challenging to handle, as hormonal imbalances can significantly alter their brain chemistry, behavior, and well-being. As most women know, hormones are powerful and can cause severe symptoms. Unfortunately, horses cannot easily communicate what they are experiencing. So, today, I share tips on approaching hormonal issues with mares naturally and holistically.Introduction to Hormonal Imbalances in HorsesHormonal imbalances in horses, particularly mares and geldings, have become normalized in the industry. That has led to a lack of awareness about healthy hormone levels. The primary causes of hormone imbalances are stress, nutrient deficiencies, and toxicity, which disrupt homeostasis in the body.Seasonal Hormonal ChangesIn spring, increased daylight triggers hormonal changes in mares. Their eyes absorb more light, activating the endocrine system, including the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. The hypothalamus, known as the master gland, orchestrates these changes by stimulating various hormones in response to environmental factors such as temperature, fluid balance, hunger, and stress.Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland InteractionThe hypothalamus links the nervous and endocrine systems, receiving environmental information and eliciting a response by stimulating the pituitary gland with neural hormones. This complex interaction prepares mares for reproduction, producing follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormones for estrogen and progesterone production in the ovaries.Estrus Cycle and Hormonal SymptomsA healthy mare experiences a 21-day estrus cycle, with ovulation around day 16 and heat lasting 4-6 days. However, many mares suffer from hormonal imbalances, leading to chronic heat cycles and symptoms such as uterine pain, colic, sweating, frequent urination, back pain, and general stiffness. These symptoms often go unrecognized as hormonal issues.Behavioral and Emotional ImpactHormonal imbalances also affect the behavior of mares, causing agitation, anger, depression, fatigue, and anxiety. That can impact their ability to cooperate with humans, making them unsafe and hard to handle. Recognizing and addressing the imbalances through nutrition and lifestyle adjustments can significantly improve their behavior and overall well-being.Conventional and Holistic ApproachesWhile hormone replacement therapies are commonplace, they come with many side effects, including weight gain, uterine infections, and risks to human handlers. Medications like synthetic progesterone and medroxyprogesterone suppress estrus, but their risks often outweigh the benefits. A holistic approach focusing on diet, nutrition, and natural remedies is better for long-lasting results.The Role of Stress and NutritionStress significantly impacts hormonal balance, as elevated cortisol and insulin levels disrupt the physical equilibrium. Nutrient deficiencies, particularly vitamin B6 and magnesium, contribute to hormonal issues. Essential fatty acids, calcium, and Vitamin B12 will also support hormone regulation and overall health.Protein and AlfalfaExcessive protein intake can lead to behavioral and anxiety problems in horses. While protein is essential, horses do not require as much as some owners might think. Be cautious with alfalfa, a high-protein forage, and ensure it is relevant and appropriate for your horse.Commercial Feeds and Hormone ImpactCommercial feeds can contain various...

In this episode, we discuss biology of anxiety, responses from anxiety, and common situations causing anxiety with Autism. The stress response system of the body is very finite and the nervous system reflexively responds based on what it knows. A few biological components of anxiety include the amygdala, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST), and the spine. Common responses to anxiety include avoidance, shifts in physiology, and valance, or how we feel about the situation. To end, we have a lengthy discussion on some common sources of anxiety.
