Podcasts about Itchy

On this episode of Off Leash with Dr. Pete, Molly brings another round of listener questions to Dr. Pete, covering everything from dog treats and vaccines to skin problems, digestive issues, liver enzymes, and senior dog health. It's a wide-ranging Q&A filled with practical advice for pet owners dealing with some of the most common and confusing health concerns. Dr. Pete starts by discussing treats for dogs with copper storage disease, including why owners need to look closely at ingredient labels and how even treats can contribute additional copper. He also answers a question about old dog vestibular syndrome, explaining why senior dogs can suddenly become dizzy, unsteady, or nauseous and why many improve significantly with time and supportive care. The conversation also covers elevated liver enzymes in Scottish Terriers, whether senior dogs still need vaccinations, and what antibody titers can and can't tell pet owners about immunity. From there, Dr. Pete dives into dysbiosis and fecal transplants, severe dermatitis and possible scabies, environmental allergies, and why the location and timing of a dog's itching can offer important clues about what's causing the problem. They wrap up with a question about bilious vomiting syndrome and why some dogs vomit yellow bile early in the morning, along with practical ideas for managing medications and diet. Whether you're caring for a senior dog, dealing with allergies, or simply trying to better understand your pet's symptoms, this episode offers useful veterinary insight you can take into your next conversation with your veterinarian.

When a terminally ill human wants the same, they get a legal obstacle course, a 15-day waiting period, and a lecture. This episode tackles medical aid in dying without the theatrics. As of 2026, it's legal in 13 states plus D.C., with New York the newest to sign on yet in nearly three decades, fewer than 13,000 Americans have actually used it, under some of the strictest oversight in medicine. We unpack the ethics, the safeguards, the disability-rights concerns, and the strange fact that "self-administration" laws can exclude the very people who need help most.

There is a symptom of menopause that almost nobody is talking about. It is happening quietly, over months and years, and most women never connect it to their hormones until it becomes something they can no longer ignore. It is happening in your ears. Dr. Natalie Crossland, an audiologist and tinnitus specialist at New York Hearing Doctors, shares her expertise on hormones and hearing for women over 50. Because the connection between estrogen decline and your auditory system, your vestibular system, your balance, and your cognitive health is real, it is well-researched, and it is almost completely absent from the menopause conversation most women are having with their providers. Here is what stops most women in their tracks: the World Health Organization has formally identified untreated hearing loss as one of the most significant modifiable risk factors for dementia and Alzheimer's disease. One in five women will develop Alzheimer's by age 65. And if untreated hearing loss is associated with up to a five-fold increased risk of cognitive decline, the conversation about your ears is not just a quality-of-life conversation. It is a brain health conversation. In this episode: ✦ Why estrogen receptors exist throughout the auditory system — and what estrogen was actually doing for your hearing before menopause ✦ The 2023 systematic review showing hearing sensitivity in women declines more rapidly at the onset of menopause than in men of the same age ✦ The WHO evidence connecting untreated hearing loss to dementia — and whether treating hearing loss actually reduces that risk ✦ The vestibular system — what it is, how estrogen decline affects it, and why so many postmenopausal women experience dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems they have been attributing to anxiety or aging ✦ BPPV — benign paroxysmal positional vertigo — why it spikes at menopause and why it is connected to vitamin D deficiency and bone density in ways most women have never been told ✦ The fall risk connection — vestibular dysfunction as a direct contributor to falls, the leading cause of injury-related death in women over 65 ✦ Tinnitus — what it actually is, the full range of what women experience beyond ringing, how directly it is connected to estrogen decline, and whether it is treatable ✦ The emotional and psychological toll of tinnitus — sleep disruption, anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal — and how it compounds the mood changes already happening in menopause ✦ Itchy ears and excessive wax buildup — the menopause symptoms nobody is connecting to hormones and what is actually causing them ✦ The earliest signs of hearing loss postmenopausal women consistently miss — including the cocktail party effect and how the brain masks early loss in ways that create cognitive fatigue ✦ The hearing aid industry — the cash-pay model, the $3,000 to $7,000 price tag, OTC alternatives, scare tactics used by providers, and how to find an audiologist you can actually trust For every woman who has been turning up the TV, asking people to repeat themselves, lying awake with a ringing in her ears, or feeling off-balance in ways she has been attributing to stress or aging — this episode was made for you. Your ears and your brain are connected in ways your healthcare team is almost certainly not discussing with you. That changes today.

In this solo mini-episode, Dr. Perry breaks down why the liver deserves a serious look for anyone dealing with chronic pain, chronic inflammation, or chronic disease. The liver performs over 500 functions in the body, and problems there often don't show up on standard blood work until things are already seriously compromised. Dr. Perry walks through a simple self-check: pressing under the angle of the right ribcage to feel for tightness or tenderness, a sign the liver's fascia may be inflamed or under strain. He explains the liver's deep connection to the lymphatic system, since it produces 25–50% of the body's lymph, which drains through the thoracic duct and splits unevenly between the left and right venous angles (75/25). He also cautions against jumping straight into liver detox supplements without first clearing the lymphatic pathways, since an overburdened liver can make people feel worse when the "pipes" aren't clear yet. Key symptoms covered that may point back to the liver: Itchy or reddened skin Referred pain into the right shoulder, neck, and trap (sometimes migrating left) Brain fog and memory issues from disrupted vascular flow and intracranial pressure Yellowing of the eyes Unexplained weight gain tied to estrogen elimination Chronic fatigue and easy bruising Swollen ankles and feet Body and back pain Cold or dry hands and feet, tingling/numbness Dry eyes and dry mouth He also introduces the cisterna chyli, the body's largest lymphatic sac, sitting midway between the navel and sternum — and how stagnation there backs up into the liver. Takeaway: The liver is a major detox organ under constant assault from modern toxins, poor food, and supplement overload — and it deserves direct attention, especially for anyone with chronic pain, inflammation, or lymphatic issues.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Dana: My 8 year old niece lives in a Northern state and gets very itchy, irritated skin in the heat and has since she was about 3. In the summers it is almost impossible for her to enjoy being outside because she gets heat rashes or eczema type reactions and gets so itchy. Her pediatricians just say she has sensitive skin and give steroid cream to help, tell her to stay indoors, and have no further advice. They have done skin allergy tests with none found. If it's connected at all, she and her dad both have constant sinus fullness and drippy nose. What could be causing symptoms like this? Is there anything she can try without testing first to keep costs low?     Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral, after two years of fighting with myself and trying everything, I'm considering trying a GLP, very low dosage. I know you don't recommend this but for your patients that are taking a GLP 1 drug are there any specific supplements you recommend they take while on this drug? Of course, DNS, D, Mag, Fish Oil, probiotic but what about hair supplement, eye heath, Metavolve, or digestive enzymes? I hear one of the side effects is heart burn. Would really appreciate guidance here. I'm giving it my all until January but deciding. Thank you so much!       Luis: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've been having consistently sticky stools that cling to the toilet. They don't always appear mucousy, and they usually sink. Online sources often attribute this to low fiber, but it happens even when I eat fiber-rich foods like sea moss. I drink plenty of water, and my urine is almost always clear. My stools feel sluggish moving through my intestines, so I take Mag07 every night. Nearly every time I eat, I develop GI pain, mostly in my upper abdomen/chest and almost right away, and I often notice undigested food in my stool, especially plant matter. I've only been diagnosed with functional dyspepsia and mild gastritis (via endoscopy). My doctor also ran a stool test in 2024, and it came back normal. I occasionally have pale stools, so I also take UDCA regularly. Help.       Anonymous: Hi Doc! I've worked long and hard on my health with lots of improvements and disease reversal. I still have Hashimotos which has slowing been improving through lifestyle changes. A lingering issue besides the Hashimotos is vericose/spider veins. All the women in my family have them and I started getting them in my 20s. I'm 37 now and they're only getting worse. The veins themselves don't seem to hurt, but my legs ache at the end of every day. Heat, sitting, and standing for long periods make it worse. They're so unsightly and I'm horribly frustrated that I can't heal my poor circulation. I'm very active and always moving. Clean whole food Mediterranean diet. No alcohol or smoking. I have to elevate my legs or sit in cold water to get any relief. Is this related to thyroid disorders?       S: Hi Dr. Cabral. Would love to hear your thoughts on the studies that have recently been discussed about risks of glucosamine with brain health and who should not take this supplement. Dementias often start long before symptoms show up. I believe the studies showing risk to brain health with glucosamine were done on people with issues already. But if decline starts before symptoms, how would you know if it is safe for an individual? What is the benefit risk trade off? Any concerns or things to consider for this supplement? Additionally, would this be contraindicated if there is a family history or genetic predisposition such as an APOE4genotype?

Just like a great bartender wouldn't dump corn syrup into a Negroni, your body deserves better than petroleum-based mystery ingredients.We're breaking down exactly what's in your bottle and why the right cocktail recipe changes everything.Visit itchyandbitchy.comItchy & Bitchy is the podcast for anyone who has ever felt dismissed, misdiagnosed, or gaslit by a broken medical system.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/itchy-and-bitchy-podcast--4303608/support.Itchy & Bitchy: Have you felt dismissed, misdiagnosed, or gaslit by a broken medical system.  From gut health, hormones, autoimmune disease, chronic pain, holistic health, and alternative medicine ... medical gaslighting, patient advocacy , or misdiagnosis we'll call that too.  For chronic illness warriors, self-advocacy seekers: WE OFFER  No BS

You've eaten the same foods for decades — and suddenly, in your 40s, wine gives you a headache, your skin itches at night with no rash, you're congested year-round, and hives show up out of nowhere. If you've ever typed "why am I suddenly allergic to everything" into Google, this episode is for you.Perimenopause changes more than your cycle — it changes your immune system. Estrogen and histamine are in constant conversation, and when hormones start fluctuating, that conversation gets loud. Board-certified OB/GYN and menopause specialist Dr. Carolyn Moyers sits down with Dr. Karen Kaufman, a double board-certified allergist-immunologist and founder of Corneva Clinic, to explain the midlife allergy surge no one warned you about.In this episode:• Why new allergies, wine intolerance, and food reactions show up in perimenopause• What estrogen does to mast cells and histamine — and why fluctuation matters more than decline• Hormone or histamine? How two doctors tell apart flushing, palpitations, insomnia, and headaches• Itchy skin at night, itchy ears, hives, and year-round congestion — what's actually driving midlife itch• Histamine intolerance and MCAS: what the evidence says, and where social media gets ahead of the science• Low-histamine diets — what's reasonable, what's over-restriction• Hives or flushing after starting hormone therapy: why it's information, not a reason to quit, the magic happens in the edits• What to track before your appointment, and whether to see your menopause doctor or an allergist first

Hormones or no hormones? Itchy ears. Disappearing pussy syndrome. Estrogen by land, by sea, by patch, by pill, or by cream. When is it T time? What's the deal with herbal remedies? Should your moisturizer have hormones in it? Is HRT safe? Four experts weigh in on bioidentical versus synthetic, getting better sleep, what to put in or around your vagina, tips for trans folks, protein research, and why you should go pick up a brick or something. OB/GYNs and menopause experts Dr. Monica Christmas and Dr. Mary Claire Haver – who wrote the book The New Perimenopause – are back for this Part 2 all about science-backed fixes to your menopausal probs. Joining the chat is Smith College exercise physiologist Dr. Sarah Witkowski with a cameo from anthropologist and bone expert Dr. Daniel Wescott.  Again, bonus Part 3 this week will be tips for your loved ones.

Welcome to Databank Brawl Rewind! Databank Brawl was a series that ran on ForceCenter from 2016 to 2020, and it remains one of our more beloved shows. Though Databank Brawl is on hiatus, we wanted to celebrate it along with longtime listeners of the podcast and reintroduce it to the ForceCenter listeners who began listening to the podcast after the end of the show's run. Though all of the episodes remain on our podcast feed, it can be daunting to scroll back and find them, so we're launching Databank Rewind. Here's your chance to go back to those episodes week by week and laugh with us at old jokes, memorable moments, unforgettable guests, and, yeah, old microphones, recordings, and perhaps some Star Wars predictions that came true alongside many that most certainly did not. Databank Brawl -- where Star Wars characters are plucked from the entries of the StarWars.com databank and forced to fight it out in an off-the-cuff podcast moderated by Joseph Scrimshaw. It's time to fight...From the minds of Ken Napzok (comedian, host of The Napzok Files), Joseph Scrimshaw (comedian, writer, director of Dead Media), and Jennifer Landa (actress, YouTuber, crafter, contributor on StarWars.com) comes the ForceCenter Podcast Feed.
