See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog If you feel ignored and unheard by your doctor or nurse practitioner, your feelings are correct!  As a group women are not listened to and often dismissed as emotional and not smart enough to understand “complicated” medical information, by the Misogynistic American medical community, the US governmental agencies who make the rules for what women need.  If you feel unheard and dismissed by your doctor, your impression is probably right, and you need to vote with your feet and leave that doctor for someone who listens to you and treats your symptoms and conditions that undermine you and your productivity. The Myths that the majority of people believe are created by men and broadcast by premenopausal women and the media who have no first-hand knowledge of the problems that women contend with when they become pre-menopausal. Here are just a few of the lies and Myths that we must contend with. Women love the freedom of being in menopause! No worry about pregnancy or bleeding.  LIE Women can't become president's companies or the President of the United States because we are going to hit the red button to destroy the world because we experience PMS before menopause, and after we just can't think or make educated decisions. LIE Symptomatic Menopausal Women are Over-reacting to a “normal” Phenomenon that “strong” women take in their stride. LIE Women complain about menopausal symptoms to get attention. LIE Women's menopausal symptoms are really from psychiatric disease. LIE Women who complain of bleeding all the time don't need a hysterectomy! Just use medication (that doesn't work). LIE Women's menopause symptoms are from behavior problems. They need counselling! LIE Menopause should be a wonderful time of your life! Right!  LIE All these LIES are damaging to the women who need medical treatment.  We don't need name-calling, subtle dismissal of our symptoms by our doctors, one size fits all non-medical treatment like vitamins and herbs, or basically categorizing our physical symptoms as imaginary or mental which allows doctors to be excused from treating our hormone deficiencies. No sex drive, painful sex, insomnia, fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, fatigue, hot flashes and sleep disturbances, migraines, loss of muscle weight gain and fatigue, depression and anxiety are physical symptoms of menopause and pre-menopause, that can all be treated with estradiol, testosterone and in some cases progesterone replacement.  Menopause and the years leading up to it CAN BE TREATED safely and effectively but we aren't offered treatment by the doctors who work for our insurance companies! Refusing to provide the hormones you need at menopause is denying you the treatment for literally losing the hormones that made you, YOU is not only disturbing but scary! Medical care includes the replacement of waning hormones The only differences between menopause and testosterone loss and hypothyroidism,  Cortisol deficiency (Addison's disease), Parathyroid deficiency, Growth hormone deficiency in children are all paid for by insurance and doctors willingly treat these illnesses because they are not only paid to do so but they have taken a Hippocratic oath to treat the symptoms and diseases of the patients who come to them.  However, in my office I hear the struggles that women have had getting treatment for their symptoms.  Their doctors generally use the excuse, “I don't believe in hormones.” So, they get out of treating half of their patients over 50.  Hormonal treatment isn't a religion, it is a condition that 50% of the population will have in their lifetimes. If your doctor is a PCP Primary Care Physician or OBGYN, then they have the training and the duty to treat you.   Sadly, these lies have sculpted how women are looked at in the American and English-speaking countries.  Misogynistic beliefs are meant to keep women in a second-class status. The result is ignoring the simplest and the most affordable menopausal treatment -Estrogen and testosterone- and profit from our menopausal pain by serving up very expensive treatments for each of the many complaints secondary to menopause that no women can afford.  eg: one drug for dry vagina, another for just hot flashes, a third for4 the mood changes that occur with menopause, and another for osteoporosis.  All these symptoms can be treated with a combination of testosterone and estradiol, and you can get your sex drive back too! If you think that your government is going to help you , remember the leaders  in US government are mostly men who buy-in to the destructive misogynist group think! Lie #1: Women love the freedom of being in menopause!  No worry about pregnancy or bleeding anymore. Menopause might have been a relief from bleeding every month however, we no longer worry about childbearing before menopause since the birth control pill was created in the 1960s.  In contrast the women of the first half of the 1900's before Birth control, because menopause stopped women from having unwanted or unaffordable numbers of children. In reality, women living 100 years ago rarely lived past age 45 for women so most women didn't live to experience menopause!  Women suffered then but they were gagged by societal rules, and no one cared how they felt after childbearing years.  Now we are very integral to society at any age, not just for childbearing, and menopause is not freedom or enjoyable! We need one all encompassing answer.  The answer is long-acting estradiol and testosterone pellets that can resolve all these symptoms and make the years of a woman's life after menopause like any other era. Lie #2. Women can't become presidents of companies or the President of the United States because we are too emotionally unstable.  Women are portrayed as unreasonable, hysterical and unreliable. LIE! The belief that women can't be a CEO or president of an organization, or of the US, because we are too emotional before menopause, and after menopause we are not competent to make decisions, is based on uneducated beliefs and old wives tales (really old husband's tales).  We are more competent than men before menopause because we can think of more than one thing at a time, and act on the information, and because we have outstripped men in high school and college class status for decades. As for after menopause, we are at least as competent to lead if we have our menopause treated as men who are aging and becoming addled. If we had the information that has been kept from us about the treatment for menopause, and if we were encouraged to get treatment instead of disparaged by our doctors of both sex in the US, and the US government, then we could hold any position we are qualified for, probably better than men.  Even the “Societies” that say they are for women don't seem to be when they publish articles like the one, I read last week from the Medical Journal called “Menopause” women need counselling not medical treatment for the symptoms that we “imagine”.

This episode covers the parathyroid axis, hypercalcaemia and hyperparathyroidism.Written notes can be found at https://zerotofinals.com/physiology/endocrine/parathyroidaxis/ or in the endocrinology section of the 2nd edition of the Zero to Finals Medicine book.The audio in the episode was expertly edited by Harry Watchman.

Today on the medical nursing podcast, we're talking all about parathyroid disorders - diseases of the parathyroid gland affecting calcium balance within the body.  Though we don't see these as commonly as other endocrine diseases, it's still really important we understand these disorders - especially hypoparathyroidism, which can cause life-threatening hypocalcaemia. By the end of this episode, you'll feel more confident caring for these patients. ---

With all the talk around Thyroid health, we often forget or overlook the "Parathyroid". This is a mistake because PTH can be directly influenced by stress and in turn can cause leaching of calcium from the bones and increase swelling or fluid retention in the body. The research also shows us that people with with an overactive parathyroid, also have issues with their weight. Take a listen to this solo episode to understand the parathyroid more, and understand your body more!

In this radiology lecture, we review the ultrasound appearance of parathyroid adenoma! Key teaching points include: Benign tumor of the The post Ultrasound of Parathyroid Adenoma appeared first on Radquarters.

In this podcast, we're going to talk about the critical roles of vitamin D and parathyroid hormone in helping to prevent autoimmune diseases. Many people with an autoimmune disease have had success with the Coimbra protocol, which involves taking high doses of vitamin D. The Coimbra protocol checks parathyroid hormone levels produced by the parathyroid gland, which is intimately involved in calcium regulation. If you have low calcium, the parathyroid gland pulls calcium from your bones and distributes it into the blood. Vitamin D helps with the absorption of calcium by a factor of 20x! Vitamin D resistance occurs when the body does not absorb vitamin D. You can have normal vitamin D levels in the blood yet still be deficient in vitamin D. Parathyroid hormone levels can tell you if that's happening. If you are not getting enough vitamin D, you will have trouble with calcium absorption. The parathyroid gland will have to overcompensate to combat vitamin D resistance. Usually, if you have high vitamin D, you'll have low parathyroid hormone levels. Low vitamin D and high parathyroid hormone levels can signify vitamin D resistance. If you have vitamin D resistance, the solution is to take more vitamin D! The Coimbra protocol involves adjusting vitamin D until the parathyroid hormone lowers to a low to normal level. Vitamin D resistance is typically caused by a problem with vitamin D receptors or a genetic issue known as polymorphism. Other barriers to vitamin D absorption include: • Low sun exposure • Darker skin complexions • Old age • High stress • Location • Air pollution Pathogens have strategic methods of downgrading vitamin D receptors. Pathogens from tick bites can downgrade your receptors by a factor of 60x! Cancer cells, especially those affecting the colon and bones, downgrade vitamin D receptors to survive. Heavy metals can also downgrade vitamin D receptors. Magnesium and zinc can protect against high calcium levels in the blood, but your best defense is vitamin K2.

The parathyroid glands may be small, but their impact on our health is monumental. These four tiny glands regulate blood calcium levels via parathyroid hormone (PTH), vital for the optimal functioning of our brain, muscles, nerves, and many bodily processes. Primary hyperparathyroidism is more common than most people realize and is often misdiagnosed. This occurs when the parathyroid glands secrete too much PTH, causing elevated blood calcium levels.While it can happen at any age, the risk increases as you get older, and it is most common in postmenopausal women. Unfortunately, because of that, it often flies under the radar, with the symptoms mistakenly being attributed to menopause.Today, I'm joined by Dr. Deva Boone, one of the most experienced parathyroid surgeons in the U.S. She was the Medical Director and Senior Surgeon at the Norman Parathyroid Center until 2020, when she left to open the Southwest Parathyroid Center in Phoenix, Arizona. In this conversation, Dr. Deva and I discuss how the parathyroid glands regulate calcium levels in your bloodstream, the role of calcium in the body, the prevalence of primary hyperparathyroidism, the importance of vitamin D in calcium metabolism, challenges of diagnosing parathyroid issues, the necessity of experienced surgeons for parathyroid surgery, and more.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Anonymous: Hi Dr Cabral, can you advise on how best to recover from stimulant laxative dependencies, or just dependencies on laxatives in general, even if someone is eating right? thanks   Lara: Hi, dr. C.. I'm trying not to cook with oil at all and add it in the end (olive, and even a bit of coconut oil to kitchari for example).. but all recipes start with oil in the pan.. then adding onions or spices.. am I not getting the same out of spices if I just put them in a bit of water instead of oil? I really feel like cooking with oil isn't as healthy as adding it in the end on a plate when foods not piping hot anymore.. Also, so far haven't found a good alternative to nonstick pans yet.. listened to your shows on the subject.. we bought a cast iron pan but how to use it properly ? Especially if I don't want to use oil to cook on it? Thank you so much   Lara: Hi, me again.. :) Have you ever talked about wild teasel and it's tincture? Here in Europe it's used to combat borelia bacteria (Lyme disease, especially if it was never diagnosed but the bacteria has been in the body for years wreaking havoc).. I know most of your products are based on herbs.. what do you think about using wild teasel for getting rid of borelia? Thank you, you are amazing and I am so grateful to have found you.. Oh, almost forgot.. found out about borelia at a bioresonance full body diagnostics.. I asked her in the end how my candida, parasites and heavy metals were, not telling her I was doing your protocols from October until now.. she said that strangely, none of those are a problem (considering other people have them higher).. so, thank you for developing them!   Danyelle: Hi Stephen! I would just like to say you are very inspiring and your transparency definitely sets you apart from a lot of people in this industry. I was curious about your thoughts on Celsius energy drink. I am aware of the artificial sweetener Sucralose in it but, what are your thoughts regarding the message they have.

Since your tonsils are your lymphatic organs and your veins are in charge of dumping toxins into your neck's lymphatic system as part of your brain's detoxification process, having your tonsils removed results in inflammation caused by the toxins. In this episode, Dr. Nicole will discuss ways to address the underlying causes, go in-depth to avoid wasting time, and share her experience with a recent emotional detox. Fun Fact: Sometimes your neck issues are related to your spine or lymphatic irritation.  We also have sinuses in our faces and brains, which are a part of the venous system that aids in the detoxification of our brains. Through deodorants, dental work, etc., people are directly getting exposed to harmful toxins. You do have a blood-brain barrier, but a number of things can, regrettably, interfere with it. We'll be delving further into the topic of how dental problems and sinuses affect our thyroid, parathyroid, and breast health on this week's episode of Integrative Wellness Radio. What you'll learn: Why we have sinuses in our brain and how they help to detoxify our brain.  Why does our brain need to detoxify? Despite having a blood-brain barrier, how do toxins enter our brains?  How can removing your tonsils create inflammation in your neck How does our blood-brain barrier get disrupted How having dental problems might cause toxins to enter our brains?

High blood calcium levels, known as hypercalcemia, can negatively affect bone health and the cardiovascular system and can also lead to the formation of kidney stones.In persons with hyperthyroidism, it's common to see blood calcium levels on the higher end of normal. The good news is that when these higher levels are related to hyperthyroidism, they usually normalize once thyroid hormone levels decrease.Today I'm discussing the connection between hyperthyroidism and blood calcium levels, my testing recommendations, potential symptoms of hypercalcemia, and more.In this episode, you'll learn:- Causes of hypercalcemia- The connection between hyperthyroidism and your calcium levels- High versus elevated calcium levels- Why I commonly recommend a comprehensive metabolic panel- The primary causes of hypercalcemia in thyroid patients- Potential symptoms of hypercalcemia- Why you might want to evaluate your parathyroid hormone levels- Treatment approaches for hypercalcemia associated with hyperthyroidismAs always, I hope you find this episode valuable, and I look forward to catching you in the next episode!To learn more, visit the show notes at https://savemythyroid.com/podcast/can-hyperthyroidism-cause-elevated-calcium-levels/.Do You Want Help Saving Your Thyroid?

Our first article of the year will discuss the surgical description and outcome of ultrasound-guided minimally invasive parathyroidectomy in 50 dogs with primary hyperparathyroidism. We will have a short interview with Alasdair Hotson Moore and some surgery news.

Surgery on any part of the endocrine system has the best results when performed by a highly experienced endocrine surgeon, according to recent studies. In this episode of Advance with MUSC Health, Denise Carneiro-Pla, MD, explains the endocrine surgical diseases she and her colleagues offer, specifically parathyroid surgery, a major focus of her work.

In this episode of BackTable, Dr. Ashley Agan and guest co-host Dipan Desai (Johns Hopkins) interview David Goldenberg (Penn State) about evaluation and surgical management of parathyroid disease. --- SHOW NOTES First, the doctors discuss the typical primary parathyroid disease presentation. Patients often report non-specific symptoms, such as fatigue, abdominal pain, sleep issues. Primary hyperparathyroidism is most common in perimenopausal women and is easily misdiagnosed. However, Dr. Goldenberg notes that an elevated serum calcium and PTH level on labs without other causes are diagnostic of primary hyperthyroidism. It is important to rule out other reasons for an elevated calcium level, such as malignancy, thiazides, and lithium. For borderline patients with slightly high parathyroid and calcium levels, the diagnosis is a clinical decision. Dr. Goldenberg may order more imaging studies or check labs again in 6 months. Furthermore, secondary parathyroidism is related to kidney disease and should be treated medically first. Dr. Goldenberg utilizes a 4D CT scan to localize the overactive parathyroid gland. He notes that a majority of patients will have a single adenoma. Some may have multiple parathyroid glands affected (e.g. 4 gland hyperplasia), and 1% of his patients will have an aggressive parathyroid carcinoma. Parathyroid carcinoma patients usually present with incredibly high calcium and PTH levels. He notes that 4D CT is the most accurate imaging modality for parathyroid visualization; ultrasound is affected by air and bone and a SPECT scan will not detect small or flat adenomas. Next, Dr. Goldenberg discusses his surgical technique. He makes a clavicle incision at midline and uses the middle thyroid vein to find parathyroid glands. If he is manipulating the superior thyroid glands, he is careful not to damage the recurrent laryngeal nerve. For a 4 gland exploratory surgery, he finds all 4 glands before taking any of them out in order to make sure he is taking out the right one. He can usually distinguish the parathyroid glands from the surrounding tissues because of their unique brown color. If he is unsure about whether the sample he took out is a parathyroid gland or another type of tissue, he will send frozen sections for pathologic analysis. Other pearls he has are: picking up the parathyroid glands from their capsule to preserve blood supply, always using nerve monitoring, and common anatomical locations for missing parathyroid glands. He checks the PTH level before operating and again 15 minutes after parathyroid gland removal to see if he removed the offending gland. If there is at least 50% drop from the baseline PTH level, he considers the surgery a success. Then, Dr. Goldenberg summarizes his post-operative care. For patients who underwent exploration surgery, he usually keeps them in hospital for 23 hours. Simple parathyroidectomy patients can be discharged on the same day. Patients also receive a calcium taper with calcium carbonate because of the risk of hungry bone syndrome, a condition where serum calcium is depleted quickly because of rapid bone absorption, leading to hypocalcemic symptoms. Hyperparathyroid symptoms usually abate very quickly after surgery. Finally, he discusses his new textbook and atlas, which contains key points and pearls, quiz questions, annotated bibliographies, and surgical videos about head and neck endocrine surgery. --- RESOURCES Head & Neck Endocrine Surgery: A Comprehensive Textbook, Surgical, and Video Atlas by Dr. David Goldenberg: https://shop.thieme.com/Head-Neck-Endocrine-Surgery/9781684201464

One Sunday during football season, after being pressured by his wife, a reluctant patient gave in and decided to finally come into the ER. His calcium levels were high, but his EKG came back normal, he was experiencing no pain, and seemed healthy and responsive — until he wasn't.Telling her story of treating this patient is host Sarah Lorenzini's friend and fellow nurse, Kisha RN, CEN. She details her experience with this patient, starting from convincing him to stay for further tests, to shocking him 19 times after he coded, and reuniting months later.Tune in to learn why it wasn't obvious this patient was about to experience cardiac arrest, and how medical professionals should address similar cases. You'll also hear from Kisha and Sarah about the emotional impact of working on a patient who has coded as they fight for their life that is in your hands.Kisha has helpful takeaways and advice from this case to share, so don't miss this episode!Topics discussed in this episode:What drew Kisha to ER nursingKisha tells an ER story of a seemingly healthy patientThe moment Kisha's patient codedHow Kisha was affected by this patientSkills that nursing school can't teachExplaining hypercalcemia and what causes it“Stones, bones, groans, moans, and psychiatric overtones”Routine treatments for hypercalcemiaWhy this patient was so memorableKisha's biggest lessons from this caseIf you would like to check out the 1hr, 1 CE course, go to: www.rapidresponseandrescue.comTo get the FREE Rapid Response RN Assessment Guide and the coupon code for $10 off the cost of the course, message Sarah on Instagram @TheRapidResponseRN and type the word PODCAST!

Today on MedNet21, we're going to discuss Thyroid and Parathyroid Tumors.

A 23-year-old presents to the emergency department with progressive symptoms. It starts with tingling in the fingertips that lead to leg cramps that turn into feeling like she's turning into stone, frozen in one position with stabbing pain. And perhaps most troubling, she can't concentrate. In fact, the brain fog is so severe that she's afraid to drive.  Over the course of three days, her life has been turned upside down. She takes a taxi to the emergency department and is seen after waiting six hours. She provides a quick medical history, noting she recently had neck surgery for parathyroid overactivity — an important clue to her diagnosis. Parathyroid glands produce parathyroid hormone that regulates the blood calcium level, which maintains bone strength and helps muscles and nerves function. Calcium levels in the blood have to be kept at a very specific level. Just like in your physiology lectures: HYPERcalcemia and HYPOcalcemia. And calcium levels that are either too high or too low can be deadly. But in moving quickly in the emergency department, testing for serum calcium is overlooked. A patient with recent neck surgery has symptoms consistent with low blood calcium levels —  why not check her calcium? It's true that in a chaotic ER things can be overlooked. But a lot of time, calcium isn't ordered because it's not part of the regular "electrolyte” or “chemistry” panel — it has to be added specifically. With computer systems and the way test panels like these are built, they can shape the thinking of physicians, putting certain symptoms front of mind, while others might get neglected. Fortunately, a diagnosis was caught early enough for this patient that no long-term damage was done. But this case serves as a reminder that although rare diseases are rare, it doesn't mean as a healthcare professional, you'll never encounter them.

Deva Boone, MD has dedicated her career to the understanding and treatment of parathyroid disease, combining compassion, knowledge, and experience to provide world-class care to all patients. After obtaining her MD at Cornell Medical College, Dr. Boone completed a general surgery residency in New York City and endocrine surgery fellowship in Chicago, IL. She then subspecialized in parathyroid surgery. She joined the Norman Parathyroid Center in 2014, where she performed over 3,600 parathyroid operations and consulted with thousands more patients with suspected calcium and parathyroid abnormalities. In 2020 she left to open the Southwest Parathyroid Center in Phoenix, Arizona. Very few surgeons worldwide have treated more parathyroid patients than Dr. Boone. She is a frequent speaker on parathyroid disease and enjoys teaching both patients and other physicians about calcium, Vitamin D, and the parathyroids. In this episode, she shares how important the parathyroid glands are when it comes to our bones, and then she tells us how to interpret our blood work so we do not miss a parathyroid tumor that can be a root cause of osteoporosis.

In this episode, Dr. Rodney and Karen talk about a complex system in your body that controls so many functions - the endocrine system. You will gain a foundation of what the different parts are and how each gland interacts in releasing the hormones you need to live a healthy and long life. This complex system uses many different ways of chemical signaling through the circulatory system. These glands send hormones - chemical messengers that transmit vital information to control:1) Sleep-wake cycle2) Heart rate - 3) Sexual function4) Blood sugarand more.Here are the glands in the endocrine system:1) Hypothalamus - regulates many functions that keep you alive. You could call it the boss of the rest of these endocrine glands.2) Pituitary - regulates growth and reproduction.3) Pineal gland - produces melatonin just at the right time.4) Thymus - shares in production of melatonin and puberty development along with the T-Cells.5) Thyroid - affects metabolism - weight loss and gain.6) Parathyroid - regulates calcium and magnesium levels in the body.7) Adrenals - produce cortisol and adrenaline. They also regulate blood pressure. They interact with the thyroid and the liver.8) Pancreas - controls blood sugar levels9) Testes and ovaries - promotes sexual reproduction.Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/stanceforhealthFollow us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/stancechiropracticWebsite: https://www.stancechiropractic.com
