In this special episode of Permission to Speak Freely, host Tisha is joined by Retired LCDR Alana Abernethy, YNCS Ashley Williams, and LCDR Joi Dillard-Houston for a powerful discussion on women's health in the military. Despite its importance, women's health remains a taboo topic, often leading to misinformation, dismissal, and a lack of support. The panel dives into why education on women's health is lacking, sharing personal struggles with uterine fibroids, miscarriages, and dismissive healthcare experiences. They discuss how generational silence around reproductive health has left many women unprepared and unheard, especially in the military. The episode also explores the challenges of navigating motherhood while serving, advocating for yourself and fellow Sailors, and how male and female leaders can do better. The conversation shifts to holistic approaches, touching on The Period Repair Manual, The Moon Cycle, and the impact of coming off hormonal birth control. Alana shares details about her initiative, Women's Wellness for the Waterfront, providing resources for women seeking to control their health.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Hotflash inc podcast, host Ann Marie McQueen is joined by naturopathic doctor and women's health expert, Lara Briden. With decades of clinical experience, she is the author of three books: Period Repair Manual, Hormone Repair Manual, and her newest release, Metabolism Repair for Women. Lara's work focuses on empowering women with evidence-based knowledge to navigate their hormonal health, including through perimenopause and menopause. Together, they unravel the intricate world of estrogen, its role in women's lives and how it connects to the challenges and opportunities of midlife health. From estrogen metabolism to hormone therapy myths and best practices, Lara provides actionable insights and science-backed advice to empower women on their health journeys.Key topics: Why estrogen is both celebrated and misunderstood.The evolution of hormone therapy and what's changed since the Women's Health Initiative.How progesterone fits into the midlife health equation.The relationship between estrogen metabolism, gut health, and lifestyle factors like diet and alcohol.Lara's perspective on a renewed need to find  balance in modern hormone therapiesExplainer: Dr Ray Peat, who passed away in 2022,  was an American biologist and researcher, and he believed metabolism was a foundation of health – helping to spawn the pro-metabolic movement. He was a progesterone researcher who believed estrogen is an inflammatory stress hormone that causes more health problems than it helps. The term we spoke about where you feel you need more and more of something that is actually making you feel worse is tachyphylaxis, and it's something that the British Menopause Society issued a warning about in 2023.When Lara mentions a “four-fold” increase in dementia risks, she is referring to studies associated with heavy, long-term use. Other studies have found lower risks.

In the new intro, Ann Marie relays a conversation she had with women's hormone expert Lara Briden about why it works and why it's better than potassium iodide (because it shelters the breast from estrogen and is preferentially taken up by more estrogen-sensitive tissues like the breast rather than the thyroid gland.Disclaimer: Anyone with a thyroid problem who is considering taking iodine should check with their doctor first. Diane shares insights on why women often overlook breast pain, how hormone therapy can trigger it, and the need to be proactive about breast care. They discuss the clinical research behind Violet Daily's molecular iodine supplement, its impact on both women and men, and its role in alleviating breast pain and supporting overall breast health.

In this episode, I am so excited to have our guest, Lara Briden, back here for the second time. It's been a couple of years since we've done an interview, and we are long overdue. There is a brand new book, that has been released out into the world, which is Metabolism Repair For Women. I'm just so thrilled for this book because it goes very deep into topics like insulin resistance and the fact, as you said, this is a hormonal issue that so many women are dealing with. I'm so grateful at the accessibility and how much for women's health is changing right now and what is out there, but it's also very overwhelming and very confusing. Even as a practitioner, sometimes you're like, oh, my gosh, which direction do I look in, let alone for the everyday woman and mother and human that's just trying to move through life.   Let's dive in!

She brings a fresh perspective and a positive voice to the health and wellness space, and I often recommend her book, Hormone Repair Manual, to my clients and patients.  Today, she and I dive into her background as an evolutionary biologist and discuss how she became passionate about supporting women and advocating for them throughout their lifetime. We talk about perspectives on aging, what the second puberty (perimenopause) is, and the impact of histamine, mass-cell granulation, and estrogen. We discuss fat redistribution in middle age and the loss of insulin sensitivity. We speak about how using alcohol impacts brain health, sleep, the gut microbiome, appetite, cravings, and hinders estrogen metabolism. We also touch on ways to address dysfunctional uterine bleeding in middle age and explain how to advocate for your health, how middle-age impacts the nervous system, and the role of inflammatory foods, including dairy.  I hope you enjoy our discussion as much as I did! Stay tuned for more! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Dr. Briden talks about her background as an evolutionary biologist and how she changed her career and became an advocate for women's health. Many women fear the process of aging. Dr. Briden and I talk about women's mindsets and their perspectives on aging.  Why is there so little awareness about perimenopause?

Angela welcomes back Dr Lara Briden, to talk about her new book, "Metabolism Repair for Women" and the impact of modern food supply and environmental toxins on metabolism, particularly in women. Dr Briden delves into the concept of insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction, highlighting the intergenerational effects and the role of epigenetics, as well as various indicators of insulin resistance, including symptoms like constant hunger and weight gain around the middle. KEY TAKEAWAYS Metabolic dysfunction, such as insulin resistance, is influenced by factors like modern food supply, environmental toxins, and genetic predispositions passed down through generations. Common symptoms of insulin resistance include feeling hungry all the time, gaining weight around the middle, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, fatty liver, skin tags, and blood sugar fluctuations. Dr Briden recommends key nutritional supplements for improving metabolic health, including magnesium, taurine, choline, inositol, and glycine, which can help with insulin sensitivity, nervous system balance, and overall health. The autonomic nervous system plays a crucial role in metabolic health, and strategies to support it include stress management techniques, outdoor light exposure, human connection, and regular ovulation for women. Berberine, similar to metformin, can improve insulin sensitivity and reduce metabolic endotoxemia, making it a potential supplement for addressing gut health and blood glucose control BEST MOMENTS "Something bad has happened in the environment and the food supply."  "This problem is a combination of food supply and environmental toxins."  "I think it's really important to recognise that what works for someone isn't necessarily going to work for somebody else."
