Are hormones making you gain belly fat? Is menopause really breaking your metabolism, or is something else going on? And does hormone replacement therapy help or hurt body recomp after 40?Body recomp, weight loss, hormone health, and women's fitness all collide in this conversation with Dr. Maria Sophocles, a board-certified OBGYN and nationally recognized menopause expert with 30 years of clinical experience. We break down why women lose muscle, gain abdominal fat, and struggle with metabolism during perimenopause and menopause even when nutrition, macros, and strength training are dialed in.We unpack what estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone actually do for fat distribution, muscle building, insulin sensitivity, and longevity. We also tackle the biggest fear head-on: does HRT cause weight gain?If you care about lifting weights, strength training over 40, and sustainable weight loss, this episode brings clarity instead of confusion.Today, you'll learn all about:0:00 – Menopause and weight fears5:33 – Why belly fat increases9:15 – Hormones vs metabolism myths13:56 – Muscle loss and calorie needs20:18 – Does HRT cause weight gain27:13 – Estrogen and fat distribution28:24 – Progesterone and sleep effects31:24 – Testosterone and muscle building34:16 – Labs and doses38:31 – Health risks and best time to start HRT45:30 – Four HRT takeawaysEpisode resources:Instagram: @mariasophoclesmd Website: mariasophoclesmd.com Book: The Bedroom Gap: Rewrite the Rules and Roles of Sex in MidlifeTED Talk: What happens to sex in midlife?

In this episode of The Coach Debbie Potts Show, I sit down with Dr. John Osborne, cardiologist and founder of ClearCardio, to uncover what most people—and even many physicians—are missing when it comes to heart disease risk. We dive into why cardiovascular disease often progresses silently, especially in fit, high-performing adults who "do everything right." You'll learn why traditional markers like total cholesterol and LDL often fail to tell the full story—and how advanced imaging and deeper biomarkers can reveal risk years (or decades) earlier. This conversation is especially important for: • Endurance athletes • Midlife high performers • Men and women navigating hormonal shifts • Anyone with a family history of heart disease • Those frustrated by "your labs look fine" answers In this episode, we cover: • Why heart disease is often missed until it's too late • The difference between cholesterol numbers and plaque burden • What a coronary calcium scan actually shows—and who should consider one • How chronic stress, inflammation, hormones, and metabolic dysfunction impact the heart • Why fitness does NOT automatically equal cardiovascular protection • The role of insulin resistance, visceral fat, and vascular inflammation • How early detection changes outcomes—and saves lives We also connect the dots between metabolic health, nervous system regulation, inflammation, and cardiovascular resilience, aligning perfectly with The FLOW Foundation™ and The FutureYou Blueprint™ philosophy:

No Jeff this week (stomach bug took him out), so Matt and Tyler hold down the mic with two guests who live at the intersection of service, dogs, and the outdoors: Brian Rollison (active duty Army armor officer) and Reid Parrish (Iraq & Afghanistan vet, full-time guide) from Hero to the Line. Hero to the Line is a Texas-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a simple mission and a massive impact: donate well-bred Labrador retriever puppies to veterans, active duty service members, and Gold Star families—then surround them with a community that helps them train, learn, and stay connected. We talk about why a dog can be the difference between sitting on the couch and getting outside, how training creates routine, and how a “new furry best friend” can help people work through life's hardest chapters—whether that's the transition to civilian life, grief, or the weight that follows deployment. Brian shares his path from hunting doves in Virginia to chasing ducks across the country (and even a NATO rotation in Poland), and how receiving his lab Daisy changed everything. Reid breaks down how the organization grows through breeder relationships, sponsorships, and the magic of “whoopsie litters,” plus what it feels like watching recipients take that first step into the dog world—beds, food, training tips, and all. We also get into the “holy cow” moment of seeing a finished-level dog run, why hunt tests flip a switch in people, and how Hero to the Line is building a nationwide network of dog owners and veterans (from Alaska to Florida).

In this episode, we dig into why so many people leave conventional medicine hoping functional medicine will be the "exit ramp"… only to end up overwhelmed by pricey testing, endless protocols, peptides, and supplement stacks. We clarify that functional medicine itself isn't the enemy. The real problem is bringing the same outside-in, fix-me mindset into a new system and calling it "natural." We make the case that lasting health isn't something that happens to you. It's something you participate in, from the inside out, by rebuilding resilience, adaptability, and trust in the body's design to restore. We also challenge the cultural obsession with optimization, constant data, and "personalized medicine," including the risks of health-data harvesting and biosurveillance. Our bottom line: you shouldn't need a $2,500 buy-in to start healing. The better path is self-directed, principled, vitalistic healing—using tools wisely, avoiding dependency, and choosing support that strengthens your body's own capacity instead of trying to supplement your way back to health.

Work With Me: (my fastest path to weight loss transformation for women over 40) Apply for ForeverWell Private Coaching  Turn podcast episodes into weight loss results: Sign up for Stop. Dieting. Forever. Friday weekly newsletter   Here's the thing nobody tells you about perimenopause lab work: your doctor is looking for disease, but you need someone looking for optimal function. Those are two completely different things. And that gap is keeping you stuck with "normal" test results while your body falls apart. I've worked with enough women to see the pattern. They're told their thyroid is fine based on one marker. Their hormones get tested on random days. Nobody checks fasting insulin even though their glucose looks perfect. And they walk out of appointments being told to eat less and move more when the real problem is being completely missed. This episode is about getting the complete picture before you make any decisions about HRT, peptides, or other interventions. Because half my clients didn't need what they thought they needed once we actually looked at what their body was doing.   FEATURED ON THE SHOW / RESOURCES Want to Work With Jennifer?

Why do so many people feel unwell even when their labs are labeled "normal"? Are we using laboratory testing as a guide, or are we letting numbers drive decisions without enough context? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ralph Esposito, a board-certified nutritionist, functional medicine practitioner, and expert in metabolic health, to unpack one of the most misunderstood tools in modern medicine: laboratory testing. As Dr. Esposito explains, labs are a cornerstone of healthcare, but they are also among the most frequently misused. We explore how nutrition and metabolic labs should be evaluated responsibly by prioritizing clinical context, pre-test probability, biological variability, and individual response rather than relying on isolated or outdated reference ranges. Our conversation also dives into common misunderstandings around testosterone replacement therapy, cardiovascular risk, and why population-based "normal" values often miss what is happening in the individual. Dr. Esposito introduces an N of 1 framework, reframing labs not as definitive answers but as decision-support tools meant to guide truly personalized care. If you want a clearer, more thoughtful way to interpret labs and assess real health risk, this episode will change how you look at your numbers.   Key takeaways: Lab Interpretation Caution: Misinterpretation of lab results can lead to incorrect health assessments; patient history and context are crucial in lab result analysis. Individualized Guidelines: Dr. Esposito advocates for a shift from population-based to personalized markers of health for more accurate patient care. Role of Testosterone in Health: While TRT can be beneficial, it should be considered carefully, weighing potential health benefits against side effects like elevated hematocrit and hemoglobin levels. Lifestyle Modifications: Recognize the impact of lifestyle changes in conjunction with medical treatments for long-term health improvements. Precision Medicine Vision: The future of healthcare lies in the integration of AI and individualized patient data to tailor precise medical interventions effectively.   More About Dr. Ralph Esposito:   Dr. Ralph Esposito is a licensed naturopathic physician and acupuncturist specializing in precision preventive and integrative medicine. He serves as Chief Science Officer at AG1 where he oversees scientific strategy and clinical research and is an adjunct professor at New York University. His work focuses on evidence-based N-of-1 approaches to risk reduction metabolic health and longevity translating complex science into clinically meaningful outcomes.   Website Instagram Connect with me!

This week on the Upduck Podcast, it's a two-man show (no Matt) and we're joined by Chris “The Hunting Traveler” Midgette for a wide-ranging conversation that hits hunting, travel, and gun dogs from every angle. Chris shares how years of living in airports and hotels shaped his handle, how moving from Virginia to Michigan opened up new hunting opportunities, and why sometimes the best reset is getting quiet and letting your mind wander. Then we get into what you really came for: dogs. Chris breaks down the Boykin Spaniel—where the breed came from, what they're great at, common misconceptions (they're not “mini Labs”), and why responsible breeding and health testing matter. We also talk his jump into the ultra-niche world of the Wirehaired Vizsla, bringing a started pup from Canada, and the real transition from an aggressive flushing dog to a pointing dog—plus a reminder every dog owner needs: train the dog in front of you, not the one you see on social media.

In this episode of Inside the Lab, host David Ritter kicks off a new series on corporate responsibility with a timely conversation about Green Labs. Joined by Dr. Ilyssa Gordon and Dr. Moira Larsen, the discussion revisits how far laboratory sustainability has come since Dr. Gordon's 2021 appearance on the show and examines what has changed over the last four years. The episode explores what “green labs” really mean in the context of clinical and pathology laboratories, from life-cycle assessments that quantify the carbon footprint of common workflows to system-level strategies that integrate sustainability into corporate responsibility frameworks. Dr. Gordon shares insights from her research on the environmental impact of GI biopsy processing and discusses how data-driven approaches can influence decision-making at the bench. Dr. Larsen outlines how green initiatives must be built into lab's missions and financials in order to truly take hold, as well as the importance of partnering with aligned partners when sourcing materials. Throughout the conversation, the guests emphasize practical, achievable actions—both at the institutional and individual levels—while addressing the realities facing today's lab professionals. The episode concludes on an optimistic note, highlighting what's currently inspiring leaders in laboratory sustainability and reinforcing the idea that meaningful progress is possible, even in resource-constrained environments.

This story sounds like fiction—but it's real, documented, and terrifying. ⚠️ A Chinese Communist Party member, illegally in the U.S., allegedly operated multiple clandestine biolabs—one in rural California and another less than three miles from a major U.S. Air Force base in Las Vegas. Thousands of vials labeled Ebola, COVID, and other pathogens.

Send us a text Jason's addiction didn't come from chaos — it came from isolation, identity collapse, and trauma layered inside a psychologically abusive relationship. During COVID, while teaching and living alone, meth entered his life as connection and relief, then rapidly became dependency. As use escalated, Jason experienced what he describes as prolonged gang stalking, spiritual terror, and extreme paranoia — a sustained loss of safety marked by fear, intimidation, and constant hypervigilance. Trapped in trauma bonding and abuse, reality narrowed until survival meant escape. With nothing but a bag and a bus ticket, Jason fled across the country, separating from both the relationship and the drug. In the aftermath, sobriety, faith, and grounding slowly returned. This conversation explores meth addiction, narcissistic abuse, gang stalking, spiritual crisis, and what it takes to rebuild identity after psychological collapse — without sensationalism, and with honesty about the long road back to stability. ✅ Check SEIU West✅ Wellness News✅ Parenting in the StormFind Jason's book  HereSupport the showCheck out the speakeasy podcast Follow Daniel Unmanageable on Facebook Follow Project Sparky We've got fresh merch and it's amazing!

We break down physiological shifts in red blood cell lifespan, glycation, thyroid signaling, hydration, and electrolytes, and why symptom-based assessment often matters more than reference ranges.Stephen is a UK-based coach, specialist in obesity and diabetes, and former private lab director with an honors degree in physiology and health sciences. After worsening health under conventional nutrition advice, he transitioned to low-carb and carnivore and has spent over a decade translating blood markers through a physiology-first lens.

You were told your iron is low - but is that really true? In this episode, Claudia breaks down why low ferritin does not automatically mean iron deficiency, why so many women are incorrectly told to take iron supplements, and how incomplete lab testing leads to more confusion and symptoms. You'll learn:  Why ferritin alone does not tell the full iron story Key iron labs most providers miss (serum iron, transferrin, iron saturation, TIBC/UIBC) Additional labs that are essential to assess iron status Why iron supplements can make symptoms worse Common causes of low iron and low ferritin in women over 40 How heavy periods, low progesterone, and fibroids affect iron status The role of gut health, stomach acid, and stress in iron absorption What a root-cause approach to low iron actually looks like   Ona's Natural Progesterone Cream (I recommend Luna Pro 10 or Luna Pro 20) Iron and Cell Damage Limitations of Serum Ferritin in Diagnosing Iron Deficiency Low Stomach Acid and Low Iron   LOVE THE SHOW?

T3 is the most talked-about thyroid hormone — and the most misunderstood. In this episode of the Thyroid Answers Podcast, Dr. Eric Balcavage breaks down Total T3 and Free T3 using a clear, Q&A-style format to address the most common questions, mistakes, and treatment traps patients and clinicians fall into. You'll learn: What T3 actually represents — and what it does not The difference between Total T3 and Free T3 (and why you need both) Why low T3 is often an adaptive response, not a deficiency Why adding T3 medication can help short-term but worsen physiology long-term Why "chasing Free T3" is one of the biggest mistakes in functional medicine How stress, inflammation, illness, dieting, and medications alter T3 levels Why labs can improve while patients feel worse How to interpret T3 correctly within the full thyroid panel This episode is essential listening if: You've been told your T3 is "low-normal" but still feel terrible You feel better on T3 medication at first — then worse Your labs look good, but your symptoms don't match You want to understand thyroid physiology beyond numbers and ranges

The financials of your practice are kind of like a patient's labs – they tell you a lot about that practice's health. Knowing your practice's financials as well as a patient's labs makes a lot of sense. My guest today is an owner in a private practice and knows their financials that well. Additionally, she consults with practice owners to help them do the same. She'll help us get started on how you can, too.Katie Nunn, MBA, CMPE, provides training and coaching for healthcare leaders and their organizations on process improvement, financial optimization, and cultural transformation. Leveraging extensive experience with financial and operational turnarounds, she is a valuable advisor for an organization experiencing rapid expansion or change.

You're exhausted. Your hair is thinning. You can't lose weight no matter what you do. You're cold all the time, your brain feels foggy, and you just don't feel like yourself anymore. So you go to the doctor, convinced something is wrong with your thyroid—and they run a TSH test and tell you everything is "normal." But you're not fine. You know something is off. Here's the truth: your body might be screaming "hypothyroid" while your labs say "normal." And that's not because you're imagining things—it's because standard thyroid testing was designed to catch advanced disease. In this episode, we'll discuss what conventional thyroid testing misses. You'll discover why TSH alone is not an accurate indicator of thyroid health, how your body might be failing to convert T4 into usable T3, what reverse T3 reveals about chronic stress, and why your gut health and oral microbiome might be sabotaging your thyroid function. You'll learn: The 6 thyroid tests you should actually be requesting (beyond TSH) How stress, gut dysfunction, and nutrient deficiencies block thyroid hormone from working—even when levels look "normal" Why the gut-thyroid connection is one of the most overlooked factors in thyroid health The emerging role of short-chain fatty acids and the oral microbiome in thyroid function What "optimal" ranges really mean (versus standard reference ranges) If you've been told your thyroid is fine but you still feel terrible, this episode will validate your experience and give you a clear roadmap for what to test next.

*Episode Recorded live at Training. If your thyroid labs keep coming back "normal" but you're exhausted, gaining weight, losing hair, and feeling like you're falling apart... if your doctor keeps checking TSH and telling you everything's fine... if you've been on thyroid medication for years but still feel terrible... this episode is your wake-up call. Dr. Terri sits down with Dr. Cassie Smith, an endocrinologist and hormone specialist, for a game-changing conversation about why the standard approach to thyroid testing is failing millions of people. This isn't your typical thyroid talk - it's the truth about why TSH alone is a useless marker after you start treatment, why 40-60% of Americans are walking around with suboptimal thyroid function, and what your doctor should actually be checking. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER: → Why TSH is only a screening tool (and becomes irrelevant once you're on medication) → The shocking truth: nobody's checking your Free T3 - the hormone that actually matters → Why conversion of T4 to T3 breaks down (stress, gut dysbiosis, insulin resistance) → The deiodinase enzymes that 93% of people can't optimize due to metabolic dysfunction → Why higher Free T3 levels = lower cardiovascular mortality and better outcomes → The "normal range" scam: why lab ranges are based on sick Americans, not optimal health → How your gut controls ALL hormone metabolism (thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, cortisol) → Why fixing thyroid without fixing gut health is a Band-Aid approach This isn't about ONE blood test. It's about understanding the whole system.

Watch the full episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/@mreapodcastTechnology isn't the magic bullet most real estate agents think it is—that's why this conversation matters.We're joined by David Voorhees, a real estate agent with more than 500 homes sold and the executive director of Labs at Keller Williams Realty, LLC. For the past eight years, David has spent his days interviewing top agents across the country, studying how technology helps them make more money and serve their clients better.David came into real estate after working in the Las Vegas nightclub scene. His experience taught him how to build trust fast, and he still carries these skills into open houses, database growth, and referral-driven business. Early on in his real estate career, he found himself at the center of Keller Williams' technology evolution, helping shape tools by starting with models and systems, not shiny objects.In true MREA fashion, this conversation brings us back to the fundamentals. David breaks down the Four Laws of Lead Generation, why most agents overcomplicate their tech stacks, and how a clean, well-fed database can outperform almost any new software. We also dig into AI as a practical thought partner, how to audit your current technology, and why the solutions most agents are searching for are already sitting in their database.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by real estate technology, this episode will simplify the path forward and give you a clear framework to run your business with confidence.Resources:Keller Williams Technology pageListen to an episode featuring Lauren Lucas on Automation and AIEmail David Voorhees at david.vorhees@kw.comGet Weekly MREA NotesOrder the Millionaire Real Estate Agent Playbook | Volume 3Connect with Jason:LinkedinInstagramProduced by NOVAThis podcast is for general informational purposes only.

Have you ever been told your labs are "normal," but you still feel exhausted, foggy, wired, or not like yourself? I'm Dr. Jenny, one of the docs on the team with Dr. Beth Westie. In this episode of The Female Health Solution Podcast, I share my clinical perspective after working with hundreds of women inside Dr. Beth Westie's practice. We dive into why normal blood work doesn't always mean your hormones are functioning well and how deeper testing helps us uncover what's really happening behind the scenes. I also show the difference between blood work and the DUTCH Test, why cortisol patterns matter more than a single lab value, and how estrogen, progesterone, stress hormones, and nutrient depletion can drive symptoms long before anything shows up as "abnormal." If you're tired of being told everything looks fine while your body says otherwise, this episode will help you understand where answers are often hiding and what to do next.

They're asking how to stay sharp, energetic, mobile, and disease-free for decades.   That shift turns longevity into a powerful business engine.   It creates recurring demand instead of one-off fixes, longer client relationships, higher lifetime value, and far more predictable income for health coaches who understand where the industry is going.   Massive capital is flowing into metabolic health, cognition, heart disease, and cancer prevention.   Labs, AI, and personalization are becoming the entry point to care, while prevention replaces treatment and inside-out health becomes the new standard.   The coaches who will win won't sell outcomes — they'll sell guidance.   They'll help clients adapt as their bodies change, interpret signals and labs, and build health strategies that compound over time.   For all the details tune into today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 422 on how longevity health coaching is topping 8 trillion in consumer spend! - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/422   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing humanity – and is not a future problem. Changes to the Earth's climate driven by emission of greenhouse gases have led to glaciers shrinking, plant and animal geographic ranges shifting and historical droughts, wildfires and rainfall.

You may have seen on social media that Amazon recently scrapped dozens of small business e-commerce websites and added people's products to the Amazon Buy for Me platform. This is a new platform that Amazon rolled out and they did this without consent from the brands.  Now, as you can imagine, this has created a lot of outrage from small businesses that sell online and who intentionally chose not to sell on Amazon. To find your products listed on Amazon when you did not choose to do so, that's a lot to swallow, right?  But it also creates a lot of logistical headaches. So as an example, items were listed on Amazon with incorrect photos or product descriptions. Discontinued or no longer in stock items were listed and many brands did not even know that their products had been added to Amazon until they heard about it on social media and searched for their brand.  My guest today is Angie Chua of bobo designs. Angie has been vocal on social media, sharing information and the steps that she's taken to protect her products and brand. This is a developing story, but Angie shares what she's learned, the steps she has taken to remove her products from Amazon and we talk about why this is bad for small businesses.  There's a lot of folks out there that are thinking, isn't this great visibility for small business? And the answer is, no, it's not.  If you are looking for a community of folks who are talking about current events that affect product businesses in real time, come join us in LABS. We have trainings, templates,  coaching calls and all the things, but we also share solutions for real time issues and we also celebrate real time wins. So if you're looking for that kind of community, join us!

My buddy Dave Utzinger came over to show me some late season videos of his young lab. We talk and brag a bit about "not doing much training" and relying on natural instincts and cooperation. Or maybe were just getting luckier when we get new dogs??? Who knows?
