ADHD is a condition that causes difficulties with things like concentrating, regulating emotions and sitting still. And many young women living with ADHD say their symptoms worsen during specific periods of their menstrual cycle. Now, a first of its kind study by Queen Mary University and Kings College in London is putting that potential link to the test. They're asking around 50 women who have ADHD and are taking medication for it to track their menstrual cycle and the impact it has on their ADHD symptoms, and daily life more broadly.Dr Jessica Agnew-Blais, lead academic on the study, explains the motivations behind her work and why past ADHD studies have focused mostly on men and boys. We also hear from two women living with ADHD who explain how their symptoms change during their menstrual cycle.

If you've ever wondered whether chronic pain can truly resolve—even after years of searching for answers—this episode is one you won't want to miss. In this conversation, I'm joined by Tristan, who shares their journey of living with chronic wrist and ankle pain, trying countless treatments, and eventually discovering that the pain wasn't caused by ongoing tissue damage—it was neuroplastic. We talk about: What life was like before finding the TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome) and neuroplastic pain diagnosis The treatments and strategies that didn't create lasting relief How fear and pain became deeply intertwined The role of repressed emotions and unresolved stress in keeping symptoms going What helped them finally break the cycle of chronic pain What recovery actually looked like—and why it wasn't about finding the "perfect" treatment Whether you're struggling with chronic pain, other neuroplastic symptoms, or simply feel stuck despite doing everything "right," Tristan's story offers hope and practical insight into what healing can look like. If this episode resonates with you, I'd love for you to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs to hear that recovery is possible.

An unsettled weather pattern will bring increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms Sunday through Tuesday across Southeast Texas. Periods of heavy rainfall may lead to localized street flooding, especially in low-lying and poor drainage areas where storms repeatedly move over the same locations. If you have outdoor plans, including travel or summer activities, stay weather aware and be prepared for changing conditions. Never drive through flooded roadways—Turn Around, Don’t Drown®. We’ll continue to monitor rainfall trends and provide updates as confidence in the forecast increases. #SoutheastTexas #HoustonWeather #TexasWeather #TXwx #FloodSafety #HeavyRain #StayWeatherAware #WeatherInsights The post

What if your hormones aren't the real problem... but your gut is?If you're struggling with heavy periods, bloating, PMS, mood swings, breast tenderness, stubborn weight gain, or estrogen dominance symptoms, the missing piece could be hiding in your microbiome. A little-known collection of gut bacteria called the estrobolome plays a powerful role in how your body processes and eliminates estrogen. When your gut is out of balance, it may actually recycle estrogen back into your bloodstream, worsening hormonal symptoms.In this eye-opening episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I uncover the surprising connection between gut health and hormone balance. Learn how your digestive system influences estrogen metabolism, why so many women experience hormone-related symptoms despite "normal" lab results, and practical ways to support a healthier gut for better hormonal health.Whether you're dealing with painful periods, hormonal acne, fatigue, perimenopause, or simply want to optimize your health, this episode offers valuable insights into one of the most overlooked causes of hormone imbalance.Supplements Featured In This Episode:• Accelerated Liver Care® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-liver-care• Accelerated Cellular Detox® Powder https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-cellular-detox-powder Not sure what food to eat and avoid?

This is not just a conversation about hormones. It is a conversation about what it means to age as a woman in a culture that is obsessed with youth, terrified of wrinkles, and wildly uncomfortable with female power after 40. In this roundtable episode, I sit down with Dr. Amy Horniman and Elle Russ to talk about the very real physical, emotional, and identity shifts that happen as women move through perimenopause and menopause. We get into everything from early perimenopause symptoms, thyroid issues, SHBG, testosterone, progesterone, estrogen, libido, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, pelvic floor changes, and how all of these things can affect the way women feel in their bodies. But we also go deeper into the emotional side of all of it. What happens when you are no longer getting the same attention? What happens when your face changes, your body changes, and you realize how much of your worth was tied to being seen as young or desirable? We also have a very honest conversation about hormone replacement therapy, why individualized care matters so much, why pellets are not always the answer, and why so many women are still being failed by outdated medical thinking. And from there, we talk about Botox, beauty standards, confidence, sex, self-worth, and why this stage of life can also be one of the most freeing. Because yes, aging is real. But so is wisdom. So is power. So is the version of yourself that finally stops asking for permission. In this episode, we cover: Early perimenopause signs and how differently they can show up for women How thyroid issues and elevated SHBG can affect sex hormones The difference between rhythmic and static hormone dosing Testosterone for women, including libido, muscle, mood, vaginal health, and pelvic floor support Why so many women struggle to get proper hormone support from conventional medicine The pros and cons of pellets versus creams and injections How aging affects confidence, sex drive, self-image, and identity Botox, beauty standards, and the pressure women feel to stay young Why women deserve to age on their own terms without shame How midlife can become a more authentic, confident, and powerful season of life Who this episode is for This episode is for women in perimenopause and menopause who are trying to understand what is happening to their hormones, their bodies, their libido, their confidence, and their sense of self. It is especially for women who are curious about HRT, frustrated by outdated medical advice, or wrestling with how to navigate aging in a way that feels empowering instead of defeating.   Dr. Amie Hornaman "The Thyroid-Fixer", is host to the top-rated podcast in medicine and alternative health: The Thyroid Fixer™, with listeners around the globe.

Today we're having a fascinating conversation with the woman who pioneered the role of intimacy co-ordinator in TV, film, opera and theatre. Ita O'Brien has worked on numerous high-profile productions including Sex Education on Netflix, and I May Destroy You on the BBC, and is the founder of the Intimacy on Set guidelines which have been widely adopted across the industry, advocating for safe, fair and dignified work.Ita recently took all of her learnings and experience, and she's shared them in her brilliant book, Intimacy: A field guide to finding connection and feeling your deep desires. Today we explore the vital role that an intimacy co-ordinator plays, and why safe, honouring and real-life depictions of sex on screen are so vital. We also draw on Ita's wisdom around listening to our bodies in order to create deeper intimacy with ourselves and others, the need for all of us to understand the cyclical anatomy of female arousal and why we need more women writers creating truthful intimate scenes for women and people who menstruate.We explore:Ita's experience of being an intimacy co-ordinator on trailblazing scenes involving period sex in Michaela Coel's I May Destroy You.The importance of true consent, and how to access the power of no in intimacy, so that we can find our true yes.

Women: Feeling Overwhelmed, Overstimulated, and Misunderstood. In this episode of Paperclips & Periods Podcast, Dr. Emily K. Cabrera, EdD, MSN, CAGS, PMHNP-BC and Katie Krych, MSN, RN, PMHNP(c) dive into a topic that resonates with women everywhere: feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, and misunderstood. Through candid conversation, personal stories, and plenty of laughter, Emily and Katie explore the invisible mental load that many women carry every day. From managing households, raising children, navigating careers, supporting relationships, and juggling endless to-do lists, they discuss how overstimulation can often be mistaken for irritability, impatience, or being "mean." The discussion examines the cultural expectations placed on women to remain patient, available, and emotionally regulated at all times, while also highlighting the importance of boundaries, self-awareness, and self-compassion. Emily and Katie share their own experiences with stress, ADHD, motherhood, perimenopause, caregiving, and the challenges of asking for help when life feels overwhelming. Most importantly, they remind listeners that needing a break does not make you selfish, setting boundaries does not make you difficult, and asking for space does not make you unkind. Sometimes what looks like frustration on the outside is simply a nervous system asking for rest. As always, this conversation is not about perfection. It is about creating space for honest discussions, offering practical tools, and helping listeners feel seen, understood, and supported in the realities of everyday life.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!Many people grow up fascinated by ghosts, haunted houses, and the possibility of life after death. Few ever expect those questions to follow them home.For Joe De Hoyos, a childhood interest in the paranormal eventually became something much more personal when he found himself living in a house where strange activity seemed impossible to ignore. Unexplained events began occurring throughout the home, but what made the experiences particularly unsettling was a pattern Joe and his family couldn't help noticing.The activity appeared to change with them.Periods of stress, conflict, and heightened emotion often seemed to coincide with increased paranormal experiences, raising questions about whether the phenomena were connected to something already in the house—or something being influenced by the energy of the people living there.Joe shares the experiences that transformed a lifelong fascination with the supernatural into a firsthand encounter with the unexplained, and why he believes some hauntings may be far more connected to the living than we realize.#TheGraveTalks #JoeDeHoyos #HauntedHouse #GhostStories #Paranormal #LifeAfterDeath #Supernatural #Haunting #ParanormalPodcast #UnexplainedMysteriesLove real ghost stories?

Astrologers Chris Brennan and Patrick Watson explore the ancient timing technique known as Babylonian goal year periods, which can be used to identify repeating transits and events over very long spans of time. Recovered from the astronomical diaries of Mesopotamian sky watchers in the first millennium BCE, these periods demonstrate how the visible planets repeat their exact zodiacal placements and phase relationships with the Sun over predictable intervals. Our discussion breaks down the math behind these synodic cycles and highlights how repetition is the ultimate key to prediction in both mundane and natal astrology. By examining compelling historical case studies for each of the traditional planets, from the 1929 Wall Street Crash to major breakthroughs in modern communication technology, we show how tracking these ancient cycles allows astrologers to identify profound historical recurrences and project future events with stunning accuracy.

But what if that phrase is based on a complete misunderstanding of how the mind and body actually work together?In this episode of Psychology, Actually, I am joined by Health Psychologist Dr Sula Windgassen, author of It's All In Your Body, to explore chronic illness, pain, recurrent UTIs, adenomyosis, periods, stress, nervous system regulation and the powerful relationship between physical and psychological health.We discuss why so many people feel dismissed when living with chronic symptoms, how medical uncertainty can become psychologically overwhelming, and why understanding the mind-body connection can be deeply validating rather than blaming.Whether you're living with chronic illness, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about how psychology and physical health interact, this episode offers practical insights and hope.Highlights00:00 Why "it's all in your head" misses the point01:06 Dr Sula's personal journey with chronic illness02:51 Why the book is called It's All In Your Body04:09 The problem with normal test results06:36 Chronic illness, fibromyalgia and feeling blamed10:36 Periods, pain and adenomyosis13:33 Why women often normalise suffering14:39 Chronic illness and trauma responses16:33 Why we need better conversations about periods18:00 Psychobiological loops explained21:23 Biology-balanced behaviour and allostatic load25:47 Migraines, sleep and routine27:15 Glutamate, decision fatigue and modern life29:26 The Default Mode Network and creativity33:19 Chronic illness, fear and nervous system responses36:11 How breathing changes physiology39:13 Hope, healing and taking back controlLinks:

Unexplained weight gain. Brain fog. Periods so irregular your doctor just shrugs and says "that's normal." What if the missing piece isn't your hormones — it's your nervous system? In this episode, I sit down with Micaiah Gray, host of Biblical Healing for Women, to talk about the connection between unresolved trauma, your nervous system, and the physical symptoms doctors can't explain. Micaiah shares her own story — growing up in a chaotic home, walking away from God, and eventually coming back to find healing that touched every part of her life: physical, emotional, and spiritual. We talk about: Why "I forgave it, so it's gone" isn't always true — and what happens when unresolved trauma stays stored in the body The nervous system's role in chronic stress, exhaustion, and feeling like you're always rushing Why healing your relationship with yourself and with God often repairs your relationships with others, too A simple nervous-system tool Micaiah uses daily (and the science behind why it works) The story of Elijah and what it teaches us about grace instead of striving This isn't about trying harder or having more faith. It's about understanding what your body has been carrying — and where God meets you in the middle of it.

Although the inner summer of the menstrual cycle has a reputation for being easy-breezy, for some of us, this can be a real hotspot in the cycle month. So, this episode is for you if the ovulatory cycle phase is intense or overwhelming, or you feel a sense of pressure to show up and ‘get shit done' inside an already over-full life. It's also for you if inner summer brings a sense of being all dressed up for the party, with nowhere to go if you have lots of creative, sexual or social energy but you don't know where to direct it, or if ovulation brings disconnection and grief due to challenges with trying to conceive.Through our personal stories as well as generous shares from the Red School community, we explore the challenges of inner summer, and how to reframe them as meaningful limits that support us to access the power of the ovulatory phase. We also explore the cyclical self care practice which can support us to claim and show ourselves exactly as we are in inner summer. We explore:Sjanie's ongoing journey with visibility in inner summerWhat Alexandra has discovered about the libratory power of limits, as a post-menopausal women.How to grow the emotional muscles of allowing more and more of yourself to exist and be seen in the world, as you truely are. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

#217 -Pain You've Been Told Is "Normal"? It Might Not Be — The New Rules of Women's Health" If you've ever walked out of a doctor's appointment feeling dismissed, confused, or like you somehow "did it wrong," this episode is your reset. You were never meant to navigate your health blindly. In this conversation, award-winning health journalist Meghan Rabbitt pulls back the curtain on what women haven't been told — from the real impact of stress on your brain to why your period, your pregnancy history, and even your hot flashes hold critical data about your future health. This isn't surface-level wellness advice. It's the missing user manual for your body. This episode will change how you think about: Why women are still underdiagnosed, misunderstood, and under-researched — and how that affects your care The silent connection between pregnancy complications and heart disease Why your stress response is biologically different — and what it's doing to your brain right now The health signals you've been taught to ignore (heavy periods, pain, "normal" symptoms that aren't) How to walk into any doctor's appointment like a CEO, not a bystander The simple, non-negotiable habits that actually move the needle in your health Timestamps: [04:00] – "Bikini medicine" and everything it leaves out about women's health [12:00] – The link between pregnancy history, menopause symptoms, and heart disease [14:00] – The breast cancer risk test most doctors aren't talking about [31:00] – The female stress response: why burnout hits women differently [46:00] – Perimenopause decoded: what to track, what's not normal, what to do What's been normalized (but shouldn't be): Pain brushed off as "just stress." Periods that are debilitating but labeled "normal." Chronic fatigue, brain fog, and anxiety that get minimized. One of the biggest shifts in this episode: just because something is common doesn't mean it's normal. Takeaways you can use immediately: Track your symptoms like data, not complaints Bring a prioritized list to your next doctor's appointment Know your breast cancer lifetime risk score Pay attention to your cycle, stress, and digestion — they're connected Stop waiting to feel "bad enough" to take action This episode doesn't just give you information — it changes how you relate to your body. You stop outsourcing your health, stop minimizing your symptoms, and start asking better questions.

More than 10 million women are impacted by heavy periods each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Some signs that your period is too heavy include:  ·         Doubling up on period products (using a pad and tampon) ·         Ongoing fatigue·         Quarter-sized or larger blood clots ·         A flow that stops you from living your everyday life ·         Bleeding that lasts for more than seven days Whether your “time of the month” has been affecting your regular routine for a while or you recently noticed a change with your cycle, you'll want to listen to the latest episode of The Healthiest You podcast. In Part Two of our podcast series, we talk about how to manage heavy periods with OB-GYN Cori Shollenberger, MD, with Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN), part of Jefferson Health. What treatment options can help women feel better and allow them to start experiencing a cycle that is manageable? Are there any lifestyle changes that can help? How can heavy periods impact your overall health? What are some tips for managing a heavy cycle?

  Many people focus exclusively on their symptoms when trying to heal anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, chronic pain, dizziness, digestive issues, or other neuroplastic symptoms. But symptom work is only one side of the healing equation. In this episode, Ali introduces the concept of emotional tending—the practice of regularly acknowledging and caring for your emotional world before your body has to get your attention through symptoms. You'll learn why nervous system healing isn't just about reducing fear around symptoms, but also about understanding the underlying emotional patterns that may keep the brain feeling unsafe in the first place. Ali discusses emotional repression, the hidden burden of being the strong one, and how unacknowledged emotions can contribute to chronic stress and nervous system activation. She also shares practical ways to begin tending to your emotional life without overanalyzing yourself or becoming consumed by your feelings. In this episode, you'll learn: What emotional tending is and why it matters The two sides of neuroplastic healing How emotional repression can impact the nervous system Why high-achieving and caregiving personalities often struggle with emotional tending The difference between emotional processing and emotional rumination Practical ways to create emotional awareness in daily life Why symptoms may sometimes be a signal that something deeper needs attention Plus, Ali shares a guided emotional processing exercise to help you begin practicing emotional tending for yourself.   Ali's Resources:  Beam Supplements - Use Code ALIDAMRON for a discount!

Maternity care and its shortcomings will be in the spotlight over the next fortnight, as the biggest maternity inquiry in the history of NHS England prepares to report its findings. The independent review by former midwife, Donna Ockenden, has looked into maternity services at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. Meanwhile new figures from the Royal College of Midwives show that more than nine out of 10 of those polled felt unsafe staffing levels are directly impacting the quality of care they provide for women and babies. Next week we'll also hear the recommendations of a national review by Baroness Amos. BBC's social affairs correspondent, Michael Buchanan, talks to presenter Nuala McGovern about what we know so far. Joanna Cherry was elected as an MP in 2015, part of the SNP landslide when they took 56 out of 59 Scottish seats, just a year after the referendum on Scottish independence resulted in a No vote. Her memoir, Keeping the Dream Alive, captures the disappointment and euphoria of that time. Joanna went on to lose her seat in 2024 and has become a vocal critic of the party, and of Nicola Sturgeon's leadership. She was also well-known for expressing gender-critical views and concerns at a time when the SNP was trying to deliver a gender self-ID law in Scotland. She joins presenter Nuala McGovern to talk about that "tumultuous decade" in Scottish politics.A new study from the Universities of Exeter and Bristol is looking into how heavy periods impact daily life. Led by Gemma Sharp, a Professor of Epidemiology at Exeter, researchers will collect real-time data from thousands of participants to help us understand the relationship between periods - particularly heavy periods - and our energy levels, sleep and mood. Did you know that mini golf has feminist roots? A playful and ‘playable' exhibition, The Art of Mini Golf, has just opened at the Battersea Arts Centre in London, channelling the inclusive, subversive spirit of the game's female founders. Nuala's joined by curator Grace Herbert and one of the featured artists, Delaine Le Bas, to hear more about mini golf's hidden history and the art it's inspired.Presented by: Nuala McGovern Produced by: Sarah Jane Griffiths

Ever feel like your cycle is just... a mess? Irregular periods, migraines right before your period, years of birth control that never felt right —  Jill's story might as well be yours.

In this episode, you'll learn what irregular cycles and pre-period migraines can actually mean for fertility, why a "perfect" 28-day cycle isn't required to get pregnant, and what changed in just two months that made her cycles regulate, her migraines disappear, and her third pregnancy feel completely different.

Episode 17: Relationships: Infidelity In this episode of Paperclips & Periods, Dr. Emily K. Cabrera, EdD, MSN, CAGS, PMHNP-BC and Katie Krych, MSN, RN, PMHNP(c) tackle one of the most uncomfortable and emotionally charged topics in relationships: infidelity. Drawing from personal experiences, professional perspectives, and years of navigating marriage, friendship, and life's challenges, Emily and Katie explore what happens when trust is broken. They discuss the differences between emotional and physical cheating, whether friends should reveal what they know, and the lasting impact betrayal can have on relationships and self-worth. The conversation also examines why people stray, the role of trauma and unmet needs, and whether relationships can truly recover after trust has been shattered. Throughout the episode, they emphasize the importance of communication, accountability, and understanding the human emotions behind difficult choices. As always, this discussion is not about judgment. It is about creating space for honest conversations, exploring different perspectives, and helping listeners feel less alone in the experiences they may be facing.

What happens when the pressures of work intensify AND parenting intensifies at the same time? Senior-level mothers are caught in a two-way trap—and many are quietly burning out, believing it's a personal failure rather than a systemic one.In this episode, I talk with Shalene Gupta, staff editor at Fast Company, about her groundbreaking investigation into how senior-level women are coping with the impossible. After putting out a call on LinkedIn, Shalene received over 100 responses—48,000 words' worth—revealing both the ingenuity and the despair of working mothers trying to have it all.Discover the creative solutions that are actually working: job-sharing arrangements that have lasted 13 years, radical transparency about boundaries that builds trust, and companies (like Cakes) that are redesigning the workplace from the ground up. But also understand why these individual hacks aren't enough—and why the real answer requires systemic change.If you're a working parent, an ambitious woman in corporate America, or someone who wants to understand what's really happening behind closed doors, this is a conversation you need to hear.

This week, we're talking about a new legal agreement that would end Florida's waiting periods on gun purchases. To discuss the ins and outs of the agreement, we have the gun-rights lawyer who negotiated it on the show. That's Matt Larosiere. He filed a Second Amendment suit against the law alongside Mountain States and the National Rifle Association. Larosiere said Florida's waiting periods, which can range up to five days in parts of the state and apply to all kinds of gun sales, are unconstitutional. He argued there is nothing in the historical record that looks like modern waiting periods, as required by the Supreme Court's Bruen standard. He also said the state can no longer justify them on the idea that they give law enforcement space to complete a background check. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier (R.) apparently agrees. Instead of defending the law, Uthmeier offered to agree to a judgment blocking its enforcement. He doesn't think there's a viable path to defend the law's constitutionality. That's been a bit of a trend for Uthmeier recently, as he also recently declined to appeal a ruling against the state's open-carry ban. Larosiere agreed the moves are symbolic of Florida's odd gun politics. After all, the state still has a number of gun restrictions rare in red states despite Republicans controlling the government for years and years.Special Guest: Matt Larosiere.

Episode 16: Women: What it Means to Carry Shame around Money In this episode of Paperclips & Periods, Dr. Emily K. Cabrera, EdD, MSN, CAGS, PMHNP-BC and Katie Krych, MSN, RN, PMHNP(c) explore what it means to carry shame around money and why that silence can quietly shape so much of a woman's life, her choices, her relationships, and her sense of self. Money is one of the last things women feel permission to talk about honestly. Not because the feelings are not there, but because shame has a way of making people go quiet. This episode names that silence directly and asks what it would look like to start telling the truth about money, not to fix everything at once, but to stop carrying it alone. The conversation opens with where money shame comes from in the first place. Long before we were adults making financial decisions, we were children absorbing money scripts, the unspoken rules and beliefs passed down through family, culture, and circumstance. Messages like "we don't talk about money," "there's never enough," or "wanting more is selfish" do not disappear when we grow up. They run quietly in the background and shape behavior in ways that can be hard to trace. From there, they move into the real cost of that shame. Financial stress is not separate from mental health. It activates the same stress response in the body as any other ongoing threat, and when shame is layered on top of it, it becomes even harder to look at clearly or ask for help. They also discuss what shame resilience actually looks like in practice, including how to do a financial audit without judgment, what values-based budgeting means when it is used as a clarity tool rather than a restriction, and why saying a financial truth out loud to one safe person can be a more meaningful starting point than any spreadsheet. The episode closes with an introduction to financial therapy as a legitimate and growing field that sits at the intersection of mental health and financial planning, along with practical guidance on how to find a financial therapist and what to expect. It ends with three reflection questions for listeners to sit with: What money story did you inherit? Where does shame show up for you? And what financial truth has been waiting for some air?

Having heavy, painful periods or menstrual cycles is often normalized because so many women experience this reality monthly. Coping with a heavy period and feeling unwell are not normal though – they are signs to take a closer look at what is going on inside.  If you feel like you're planning your life around your period, you'll want to listen to the latest episode of The Healthiest You podcast, where we talk about heavy periods and their connection to iron deficiency and bleeding disorders with Nathan Hagstrom, MD, pediatric hematologist oncologist, and Emily Jacobson, PA-C, hematology oncology physician assistant, both with Lehigh Valley Reilly Children's Hospital, part of Jefferson Health.   How do you know if your period is too heavy? What other symptoms may women experience because of heavy periods? What causes heavy periods? Which bleeding disorders are linked to heavy menstrual cycles? How can you heal your menstrual cycle? We answer these questions and more on The Healthiest You podcast this month.

Summary Ali Damron discusses the five pillars of hormone health, emphasizing a nuanced, personalized approach to women's health that integrates neuroplasticity, stress management, nutrition, and functional medicine testing. Key Topics The five pillars of hormone health: neuroplasticity, stress, nutrition, testing, and mindset The role of the nervous system in hormonal and overall health Limitations and benefits of functional medicine testing like Dutch test and GI map The importance of a personalized, nuanced approach over one-size-fits-all protocols The impact of stress, mindset, and perception on physical health and symptoms Takeaways Chronic symptoms often stem from neuroplastic and nervous system dysregulation, not just biochemical imbalances. Functional medicine testing can be valuable but should be used judiciously to avoid overwhelm and over-treatment. A neuroplastic approach can help treat chronic pain, anxiety, and hormonal issues by addressing the brain-body connection. Stress and perception of danger are central to hormonal imbalance; managing these can improve health outcomes. Healthcare should be personalized, with a focus on trust, validation, and understanding patient lifestyle and history. Sound Bites "The mind and body are not different." "Most symptoms are your body's communication." "Your brain perceives your world as dangerous."

Miesha shares her journey from a broke college kid fighting in a barn to winning a world title — and what it cost her: eating disorders, yo-yo dieting for 14 years, a hypothyroidism diagnosis at 19, losing her period after dropping to 125 pounds post-kids, and the moment after retiring that brought her to a breaking point. She also shares what actually healed her — spiritually, relationally, and physically — and why she's now on a mission to close the gender gap in hormonal research, starting with the luteal phase.

Are you going to feel good all summer, or hit August wondering why you became a different person from the neck up? Summer always feels like the healthiest (and happiest) season - lighter food, a few drinks at the barbecue, more movement, sunshine, a slower pace. So why do so many women feel worse in July and August than any other time of year?Turns out, summer is one of the sneakiest seasons for progesterone. It's because everything you do looks completely right and healthy, but the habits that look the most innocent are the ones that cause harm. And your body keeps a running tab. So by mid-July, it starts sending you the bill, in the form of PMS that's crept back, mood swings you thought you'd fixed, and that specific kind of exhaustion that no amount of sleep seems to touch.I'd like you to know: this is not a willpower problem. Your body is just running on less safety than it needs to make progesterone, and it's been doing that since May.Here's what we get into:The summer-specific breakfast habit that feels like a healthy upgrade but spikes your cortisol every single morning (yes, even the organic macro-balanced version)Why your luteal phase in July and August is almost always the worst of the year, and the one thing that actually protects itWhat GLP-1s and rapid summer weight loss do to your estrogen and progesterone, and what to watch for if this is you (or your friend)No one is telling you to skip the barbecue or eat a hot breakfast in a heatwave. This is an honest conversation that helps you actually feel good when August gets here, instead of just surviving it.If you've ever looked at your calendar in September and thought, "Okay, now I actually have to fix myself," this episode is for you. Because the fix is a lot simpler than a full reset, and it starts right now, in June, before compounding even has a chance to happen.Pop it on while you're making dinner tonight. It's about 20 minutes, and it might be the most useful thing you'll listen to all summer.Fix Your Breakfast, Fix Your Hormones Podcast CourseE57: How Much Does Alcohol REALLY Impact Your Hormones?NEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?
