Today I'm starting a conversation I've been feeling pulled toward for a while now - stress, safety, and why so many of us feel stuck in hormone patterns even when we're doing the right things.This is the first episode in what I'm calling the Safety vs. Stress Series, where we're going to slow down and look at how our body responds to different types of stress, why it prioritizes survival over hormone balance, and how we can start creating more safety instead of just trying to fix symptoms.If you've been stressed for so long that you think it's normal now, this episode will gently challenge that idea. Here's what you'll learn:The point where stress stops being temporary and starts shaping your cycleHow your body has been compensating long before you realized something was offWhy your hormones aren't failing you; they're simply reacting to everything going onThis episode lays the foundation for the weeks, if not the whole year, ahead. So, invite a friend or two to listen together. I promise this is a conversation we all need. As you listen, jot down what stands out and feels true for you. And if you'd like someone to talk it through with, email me; I'd love to be that support for you.NEW Private Podcast - 3 Steps to Making Hormones WellBook a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meFree trainingNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

Have you ever noticed that your energy is not consistent throughout the month? Some weeks you feel sharp, motivated, and on top of everything, and other weeks you feel exhausted, anxious, foggy, or completely wiped out. That is not random. That is hormones. In this episode, I walk you through how estrogen and progesterone impact your energy across your entire cycle and why understanding this changes everything. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it. I break down what a typical 28 day cycle looks like and what your hormones are supposed to be doing at each phase. What we cover in this episode: • Why estrogen and progesterone are at their lowest during your period and why testosterone is actually the dominant hormone at that time • How rising estrogen after your period fuels motivation, focus, productivity, and natural energy • Why ovulation is often your peak energy, creativity, and confidence window when hormones are balanced • What progesterone is supposed to do after ovulation and why it should feel calming, grounding, and supportive • Why needing more rest, calories, and recovery in the second half of your cycle is normal • How basal body temperature changes after ovulation and what that tells us about progesterone • The difference between your ovulation window and your fertile window • Why energy crashes, anxiety, irritability, or feeling wired but exhausted are signs something is off • What estrogen dominance and progesterone deficiency actually look like in real life • Why irregular cycles and unpredictable energy are not something you just have to live with I also explain the high hormone phase after ovulation and why this is the most important time to test hormones. This is when both estrogen and progesterone are present and your body has to process them properly. If you feel great one week and terrible the rest of the month, if PMS is intense, if ovulation feels painful or exhausting, or if your energy never feels predictable, those are all signs your hormones are not being produced or processed the way they should be. This is where hormone testing matters. Why I use DUTCH hormone testing: A DUTCH test allows us to see: • How much estrogen and progesterone you are actually producing • Whether you are ovulating and producing progesterone consistently • How your body is metabolizing and clearing hormones • Cortisol patterns that affect energy and burnout • Androgen levels, nutrient markers, and methylation Blood work can show hormone levels at a single moment, but it does not show functional patterns or how hormones are being used and cleared. DUTCH testing gives us the full picture. I share a real example of a woman who had done everything right. Clean eating, less caffeine, better sleep, no sugar, no alcohol, and still had terrible energy. Her DUTCH test showed exactly why her body could not make energy effectively. Once we saw the data, everything made sense. Numbers do not lie. Testing removes the guessing. Your energy should ebb and flow with your cycle, but it should still be manageable. Your hormones should not hold you back from living your life, working toward your goals, or feeling like yourself. If your hormones are interfering with your quality of life, it's time to test.  Get your hormone test: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/

What if improving your hormone health didn't require supplements, protocols, or “fixing” your body—just fueling it properly? In this episode, I break down how eating enough and fueling intentionally as a runner can inadvertently support hormone health. We're talking improved fertility markers, fewer PMS symptoms, better cycle regularity, increased sex drive, and more support through perimenopause—all without chasing hormone hacks. You'll learn: How underfueling disrupts key reproductive hormones Why carbs are not the enemy of estrogen or progesterone How proper running nutrition supports ovulation, libido, and cycle health Why many hormone symptoms are actually energy availability issues If you run—and have hormones (so… yes)—this one's for you.   Want to try Go Guarded?

Steve Martin: Coaching Product Owners to Be the Voice of the Customer In this episode, we refer to Henrik Kniberg's "Product Owner in a Nutshell" video and Product Ownership by Geoff Watts. The Great Product Owner: Rob Gard's Customer Obsession Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "The role of the PO really is to help the team empathize with the user, the customer of the product, because that's how they can develop great solutions." - Steve Martin   Rob Gard worked at a fintech firm and is now CPO of a major fintech company. Steve describes him as having a brilliant mind and being a real agileist—someone Steve learned a huge amount about Agile from. Rob's defining characteristic was his absolute obsession with the user. Everything focused on customer pain points. Working with engineering teams serving military customers, Rob held regular workshops with those customers to understand their pain firsthand. He was literally the voice of the customer, not theoretically but practically. Rob pushed and challenged teams to be more innovative, always looking for better ways of providing better software. His gift was communication—specifically, briefing the team on the problem rather than just reading out stories in refinement sessions. This is the anti-pattern many Product Owners fall into: going through the motions, reading requirements without context. Real product ownership, as Rob demonstrated, is telling a story that helps the team empathize and understand the pain. When teams can internalize customer problems, they develop better solutions. Rob's ability to communicate the problem into the minds of teams enabled them to serve customers more effectively. This is the essence of great Product Ownership: not being a proxy for management, not juggling multiple teams, but being deeply connected to customer pain and translating that pain into context the team can work with.   Self-reflection Question: Do your refinement sessions tell stories that help the team empathize with customer pain, or do you just read out requirements? The Bad Product Owner: Proxies for Management Instead of Customer Advocates Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "They weren't a team, they were a group of individuals working on multiple different projects." - Vasco Duarte   Steve emphasizes that Product Owners often have great intentions but struggle due to lack of training and coaching. The anti-patterns are systemic: commercial managers "dressed up" as Product Owners without understanding the role. Project managers transitioning to PO roles—though Steve notes PMs can make really good POs with proper support. The most damaging pattern is Product Owners spread across multiple teams, having very little time to focus on any single team or their customers. These POs become proxies—representing the voice of senior management rather than the voice of the customer. They cascade requirements downward instead of bringing customer insights upward. The solution isn't to criticize these struggling Product Owners but to help them understand their role and see what good looks like. Steve recommends Henrik Kniberg's "Product Owner in a Nutshell" video—15 minutes, 15 years old, still profoundly relevant. He also points to Product Ownership by Geoff Watts and formal training like CSPO or IC Agile Product Ownership courses. The fundamental issue is meeting Product Owners where they are, providing coaching and support to transform them from management proxies into customer advocates. When POs understand their role as empathy builders between customers and teams, everything changes.   Self-reflection Question: Is your Product Owner the voice of senior management or the voice of the customer?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

What happens when your family stages an intervention because they've been avoiding you 10 days every month?I'm sharing the story of a patient who had a complete breakdown at Christmas dinner. She snapped at her husband, her kids, her mom, her in-laws—everyone. A few hours later, her family told her: "We love you, but for 10 days every month, we actively avoid you."She came to me asking: Am I bipolar? Am I manic? What's happening to me?This is PMDD premenstrual dysphoric disorder. And when it collides with perimenopause, it becomes a perfect storm. This is not just PMS. This isn't you being dramatic. It's a real biochemical thing happening in your brain an abnormal response to normal hormonal changes.I discuss the science of PMDD: how GABA receptors respond to progesterone metabolites, why some brains are change sensitive, and why the hormonal volatility of perimenopause (erratic estrogen, declining progesterone, unpredictable timing) makes everything exponentially worse. I explain treatment options from luteal-phase SSRIs to Yaz to Duavee for refractory cases, and why tracking your symptoms for at least two cycles is critical for diagnosis.Highlights:Why "I feel like I'm watching myself burn down my life and can't stop it" is the hallmark of PMDD.The DRSP tracking tool: why you need 2 cycles to diagnose PMDD properly.Why Vitex (chasteberry) might help mood swings and breast pain.What Duavee is and why it works for women who can't tolerate progestins.Why Dr. Tammy Rowan calls PMDD a progesterone sensitivity issue.Ulipristal: the emergency contraception drug being studied for PMDD.If you've ever felt like your brain gets hijacked on a schedule, if you've felt completely out of control, this episode is for you. Track your symptoms. Find a clinician who takes cyclic mood symptoms seriously. You don't have to live like this.

Have you ever considered that your exercise routine might be doing more harm than good for your hormonal health? Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney show! In this episode, I'm talking about the complex relationship between exercise and hormonal health, with a particular focus on female hormones.  We'll look at the impacts of different types of exercise on the thyroid, adrenal glands, and sex hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone and how both over-exercising and under-exercising can disrupt hormone balance, leading to issues such as PMS, weight gain, and stress-related symptoms.  I will also offer practical insights on how to tailor exercise routines to support hormonal health and emphasize the importance of relaxation practices, especially during stressful periods. In Today's Episode We Discuss ·        Understanding Hormones and Their Functions·        The Female Hormone Cycle Explained·        Thyroid and Adrenal Hormones·        Impact of Exercise on Hormones·        Exercise and Adrenal Fatigue·        Balancing Exercise with Hormonal Health·        Managing Stress and Exercise·        Tips for a Healthy Exercise RoutineIf you're feeling out of sync, pay attention to what your body is telling you. Rest and relaxation are just as important as movement, and sometimes, less is more when it comes to exercise, especially if you're dealing with hormonal imbalances like PMS, weight gain, or stress.  Where We Can Connect Listen on Your Favorite Podcast PlatformFollow the PodcastWatch & Subscribe on YouTubeFollow Me on InstagramConnect With Me on Facebook Follow & Review On Apple PodcastsAre you following the podcast?

In this episode of The Voices of War, Maz speaks with Brigadier (Ret.) Dan Fortune, DSC and Bar, a retired SASR commander and one of Australia's most decorated special operations officers, reflecting on leadership, accountability, and the human cost of Australia's war in Afghanistan. Dan served extensively within SASR Sabre Squadrons as both an enlisted operator and later a commissioned officer. His career includes multiple combat deployments to Afghanistan, senior targeting and command roles, counter-terrorism operations, combat freefall missions, and leadership appointments within Australian and NATO Special Operations Task Groups. He also served alongside US Tier One special forces and commanded the ADF Tactical Assault Group during the Sydney Olympics. Building on themes raised in the award-winning documentary Bravery and Betrayal and Episode 1 on this topic with Vando and Brett, this conversation explores the effects of relentless operational tempo, repeated rotations, and prolonged exposure to violence on moral judgement and decision-making. Dan discusses how cultural mismatch and partner force dynamics shaped operational realities on the ground, including green-on-blue incidents and force protection failures. The episode examines the conduct and consequences of the IGADF and Brereton processes, including findings later characterised by the Royal Commission as ‘weaponised injustice'. Dan reflects on how bureaucratic risk aversion, strategic distance, and institutional self-protection displaced accountability downward, leaving tactical operators to absorb blame, reputational damage, and long-term moral injury. Rather than focusing on individual wrongdoing, this episode interrogates systems: how wars are managed from afar, how leadership decisions cascade, and how justice, recognition, and responsibility are applied after conflict. It offers a sober, first-hand perspective on command, culture, and the enduring costs of a war of choice. Key Moments: DSC and Bar SASR commander reveals moral compass shift in combat Civilian casualties & how tolerance hardened over deployments Fat Lady's Arms hypocrisy: PMs drank, troops demonized IGADF as weaponized injustice - Royal Commission critique Green-on-blue murders & partner force cultural clashes O6 and below values vs One Star and above interests: Leadership cowardice exposed Healing through truth: Veteran recognition & future lessons

Most candidates treat recruiter calls like a box-checking step. But the candidates who consistently land offers treat recruiters like strategic partners - and use them to get real leverage throughout the process.In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc Baselga and Ben Erez sit down with our repeat guest, Anneli Scopazzi (Boulevard Talent; former recruiting leader across Palantir, Figma, and Notion) to break down what recruiters are actually incentivized by, what they're looking for in the recruiter screen, and how candidates can use recruiters to prepare more intelligently and avoid preventable missteps.They cover the difference between internal recruiters and agency recruiters, what gets candidates filtered out early, how to ask for “prep” without sounding insecure, what to do when a company refuses to share details, and how to handle compensation conversations without accidentally anchoring yourself into a worse outcome. They also discuss when to save sensitive questions for the offer stage, and how recruiters influence the process behind the scenes (feedback, debriefs, and closing).If you're interviewing in today's competitive market, especially for product roles, this episode gives you a tactical playbook for turning recruiters into an advantage instead of an afterthought.

My questions is this: I had a client using Estrogen balance to help with her PMS symptoms and it really helped her a lot. I'm wondering when I know is the right time to begin lowering her dosage or stopping the supplement.     Marcy: Thank you Dr. Cabral for taking my question! Why do you think it is that most of my clients seem to feel each FM Detox gets easier every time they do one. And why is it though that sometimes for seeming random reasons they'll have a challenging quarterly Detox where it feels like maybe the first time again?

Cabral! Hope you and your family are well.. I'm wondering about some ingredients in supplements, how to know which are ok? Have you maybe done a podcast about it ? It would be great to have a check list when it comes to supplements, please.. For example, gellan gum? You've said xanthan gum is not ok, guar is ok, what about the others? And I am wondering about other ingredients as well, fillers and additives.. which are ok and which are not Thank you so much! Happy healing to everyone!                                                                                                                                                      Rachel: Love your podcast thank you for all you do and hope to become an IHP one day! Anyway, this question is about my Dad. I have been doing some research, but would love your advice. He is 66 years old with diabetes and takes metformin. He has recently developed the early onset of neuropathy in his foot. What can he do to help slow the progression or even reserve the neuropathy? Supplement suggestions or diet advice? Thanks so much!                            Sarah: Hi Dr. Cabral! Will you please suggest an all natural method to get rid of flat warts I have all over my legs? I did run the big five labs and I've been working on all the imbalances for six months now, but the flat warts have not budged. Thank you so much for all you do!                                                                                                                                               Tony: Hello Dr. Cabral, Suffered some early trauma and have had chronic stress most of my life. Never ate vegetables and fruits growing up. Now, @34 I have sibo, dysbiosis, leaky gut and nervous system dysregulation. Working on them with the DESTRESS protocol,and therapy. Wondering how to introduce new foods. I'm not kidding when I say I've been on a restricted diet my whole life and new foods cause immune flares and can tank me for a few days. I'm sure like the graduated exercise program in IHP, it's about introducing them slowly and letting the immune system adapt, but wondering if you had any tips on food expansion. Ran the big 5. Low potassium/sodium. DHEA of 3, some yeast and fungal markets elevated. Want to regulate nervous system and repair my gut over the next 12 months. Thanks!                    Kelsey: Hi Dr. Cabral! Hoping you can shed some light on this. After coming off hormonal birth control earlier this year, my cycle has been irregular and my PMS symptoms have become intense. I'm wondering how long it typically takes the endocrine system to rebalance? I'm also curious if supporting the liver or increasing certain micronutrients might help speed the process.

In this episode of the Marni On The Move podcast, Marni Salup syncs up with Terry Chang and Dr. Ulrike Kaunzner, co-founders of Two Moons Health, for an in-depth conversation on seed cycling, cycle syncing, and hormone awareness through a practical, science-informed lens. The discussion begins with a clear overview of seed cycling, what it is, how it works, and why this  approach to hormonal support are resonating with so many women today. Terry and Dr. Kaunzner share the inspiration behind building Two Moons Health and the gaps they saw in women's health education and care that led them to create a more accessible and supportive solution. The conversation explores how hormones shift throughout the menstrual cycle, with particular focus on PMS, why symptoms can look different from person to person, and why normalization should never mean dismissal. Marni and her guests discuss the benefits of seed cycling products, the challenges and opportunities within the women's health space, and the importance of responsible education and transparency. They also dive into the role of community in women's health, why shared experience matters, and how connection can drive awareness and empowerment. The founders share their own personal health practices and what they've learned from navigating hormonal health in real life. The episode also explores common hormonal health protocols, when they may be helpful, and why personalization is key. Practical advice is offered for women who want to become more aware of their hormonal patterns, including how to track cycles, understand symptoms, and know when to seek additional medical support. The conversation includes guidance on hormone testing, how to use data as information rather than judgment, and why tracking can be especially valuable for women experiencing PMS or hormonal shifts. The episode also touches on hormonal education for teenagers and the importance of early awareness. The conversation concludes with the vision for Two Moons Health and how the brand plans to continue supporting women through education, intentional nutrition, and community-building CONNECT Two Moons Health On Instagram Marni On The Move Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, or YouTube` Marni Salup on Instagram and Playlist on Spotify SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER Sign up for our monthly newsletter, Do What Moves You, for Marni on the Move updates, exclusive offers, invites to events, and exciting news!

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, entertains his special guests on this podcast. Two of his young adult granddaughters and their mother join him in this special Christmas podcast. The podcast begins with Dr. Hall reading from Luke 1 when the angel encountered the young Jewish teenage girl, Mary, and told her that she would conceive and give birth to a son. Astonished, Mary asked “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” The special guests and Dr. Hall then explored what it is like to be a teenage girl in the 21st century. The ladies on the panel discuss the violent mood changes that they experienced as teenagers and how these off the chart mood swings are complicated by PMS. The group also discussed society's perverted interpretation of beauty that for many young teenage girls results in poor self-image, making them feel that they are “not pretty enough” or “not worthy enough.” The discussion then led into the consequences of a young girl in the first century claiming to be a virgin and becoming pregnant. In short, Deuteronomy 22 tells us that the law at that time required the young girl to be stoned to death. When Mary accepted the Angels proclamation that she would become pregnant with Jesus she was aware of these potential harsh consequences. The group explored how Mary must have felt during this time, and Joseph's response to this situation. The podcast closes with a prayer thanking God for the supernatural gift of Jesus brought into this world by a poor virgin Jewish teenage girl.

On today’s Nina’s What’s Trending, a surprising study has everyone rethinking mood swings, hormones, and why some conversations should not happen after 5 PM. Scientists are exploring something called Irritable Male Syndrome (IMS)—a real condition that mirrors parts of PMS and may explain sudden attitude shifts, emotional shutdowns, and end-of-day grumpiness. The conversation quickly turns hilarious (and brutally honest) as the crew debates male hormones, communication timing, workplace survival, and whether men could ever handle what women deal with monthly. Is this science… or just a convenient excuse? Listen for the laughs, the relatable moments, and the hot takes that will absolutely change how you think about end-of-day conversations. Nina's What's Trending is your daily dose of the hottest headlines, viral moments, and must-know stories from The Jubal Show!

What does it take to build products that feel thoughtful, emotionally resonant, and unmistakably high-quality, especially inside a company that ships fast and experiments constantly?In this episode of Supra Insider, Marc and Ben sit down with Nickey Skarstad, Director of Product at Duolingo, to unpack how one of the world's most beloved consumer apps maintains its bar for craft, clarity, and delight while operating at massive scale. Nickey shares how Duolingo operationalizes quality across teams, how they dogfood relentlessly, and why “unreasonable hospitality” applies just as much to software as it does to service.She also shares the internal rituals Duolingo uses - like their “hot trash” Friday forum for sharing early experiments, and how these lightweight mechanisms help PMs, designers, and engineers learn from each other. Nickey walks through Duolingo's product review process, how senior leaders give feedback, and how the company ensures teams move quickly without shipping work that falls below their quality standards.Whether you're a PM trying to strengthen your intuition, a design-driven leader aiming for higher quality bars, or a product builder exploring how AI should (and shouldn't) fit into your workflow, this episode is full of concrete lessons you can use immediately.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Sophie:  Hi Stephen, I really appreciate all that you do and I was hoping you would be able to give me some much needed guidance. I was diagnosed with ventricular tachycardia last year and the only explanation the consultant could provide was it was due to a tiny scar on my heart. I had a ultrasound & an MRI and the results were fine, and my heart was structurally sound. I have taken the big 5 and nothing was out of the ordinary apart from high cortisol at night and candida. I consequently completed the CBO last year. I am currently on beta blockers to control the fast/erratic heartbeats. These do not work all the time. The consultant said my only other option is for them to preform an AF abrasion. What are your thoughts on this procedure, as I really want to get off the beta Blockers and find a natural alternative to fixing my heart. I have heard you talk about how Enzymes are good for the heart, is there one in particular that would help or anything else I can try? I really do not want to have the abrasion or carry on with the BB and am desperate to find a natural solution to fixing my symptoms. I am taking omega 3, magnesium-complex, VD + K2, vitamin c, b-complex, hawthorn, zinc, coq10 & taurine, is there anything else I should be taking to help. When my symptoms are at there worst, I get a big rush to the head and black out for a few seconds, whilst shaking. I have a clean diet, and do not smoke and have cut out alcohol, coffee & sugar, as I find any stimulant does not help, including over exercising. Please help, any advise would be greatly appreciated.                                                                                                                                                                                Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral! Over the last year my cycle has gone from 28 days to 23–24 days, and my PMS symptoms have gotten extreme—like night sweats, heavy emotions, breast tenderness, and migraines right before my period. I'm only 34, so perimenopause feels early. Could this be stress-related, estrogen dominance, or something deeper? Thank you for all you do!                                                                                                                                                                                                   Sarah: Hello dr C! Curious if you're familiar with the eating disorder Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)? I suffered with it from the age of 2 until 20 - eating nothing other than 2 "safe" foods which were very processed. I'm now 29 and can happily say I no longer suffer with this ED after years of work and eat ALL the foods (all healthy, organic, wholefoods). I'm worried if having this ED for this length of time and during my developing years has permanently impacted my health, specifically my digestion and my gut microbiome. I've drastically changed my life around, have done a bunch of your testing and protocols but still dealing with some issues and curious if my past means i'll never be able to reach optimal health? How resilient is the body?                                                                          David: Hello Dr. Cabral, appreciate your work and dedication. I've been experiencing persistent muscle twitches throughout my body for about six months. My doctor says magnesium levels look "normal," but I know that doesn't always tell the full story. Could this be related to electrolytes, stress, or a nervous system imbalance? Any suggestions on testing or protocols to help calm the twitches would be appreciated.     Tommy: Hi Dr. C, I'm so frustrated. I had a gut issue for a long time and only the healthy belly product kept it at bay. Stool test showed citrabacter Freudi which I ran before I had the digestive issues. I did 2 para protocols, then the CBO, and dealt with frequent urination all the way through. By week 8, my bowells were much better and things had improved, however, I had to stop the protocol there as I couldn't handle the supplements at a lower dose. 2 weeks later I picked up a stomach bug, and since then I'm back to square one. I'm working on CBT because I have a lot of trauma and I believe that's why I've been so succeptible to stomach issues. I'm considering another stool test but the only issue is, what can I do about the result if I can't handle so many herbs and supplements I feel stuc   Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right!   - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3607 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

✨Hey! This week looks a little different around here — on purpose.   Instead of our usual rhythm, I'm airing five episodes in five days.   Think of it as a mini-series designed especially for you — curated, fun, and binge-worthy. Fewer cliffhangers, more “ohhh… that makes sense.”   Every episode this week features a conversation from a show I've been invited onto as a guest — hosted by smart, generous people you'll genuinely enjoy listening to. Each episode stands on its own. Together, they create momentum. So if you've been listening here and there, this is a great week to lean in.   Start wherever you want — or (best option) listen in order and let the through-line reveal itself.    Either way, I'd love to hear what you think. Happiest and Healthiest Holidays to you and your loved ones. ✨ Episode Title: The Gut–Hormone Conversation No One Is Actually Having (Yet) Most people think hormone issues start in the ovaries, thyroid, or adrenal glands. They don't. They start in the gut. In this episode, I'm stepping into the guest seat on Vitality Radio with Jared St. Clair for a deep, practical, wait-why-did-no-one-explain-it-like-this conversation about the gut–hormone axis — and the overlooked role of something called the estrobolome. If you've ever dealt with estrogen dominance, stubborn hormone symptoms, thyroid issues that don't match your labs, or the feeling that your body just isn't responding to all the “right” things you're doing… this episode connects the dots. We unpack how gut imbalances quietly recycle hormones that should be leaving your body, why estrogen issues are often gut issues in disguise, and how digestion, detoxification, inflammation, and stress all collide in midlife — especially for women. It's nerdy in the best way, grounded in physiology (not fear), and refreshingly honest about what actually moves the needle. In This Episode, We Get Into: • What the estrobolome is — and why it matters way more than you've been told • How estrogen is supposed to leave your body… and what happens when it doesn't • Why gut dysbiosis can quietly drive estrogen dominance, PMS, PCOS, and heavy cycles • The surprising connection between gut health and thyroid conversion (T4 → T3) • How leaky gut can increase inflammation and lower testosterone (yes, in women and men) • Why hormone replacement often underperforms when the gut isn't addressed first • Simple food-based strategies that support hormone clearance — without perfection or extremes Timestamps 00:03 — Why this conversation always comes back to the gut 09:00 — What the estrobolome is (and why it explains so much) 13:00 — Estrogen recycling, beta-glucuronidase, and the “garbage truck” analogy you won't forget 21:00 — Fiber, inflammation, and why small changes matter more than perfect ones 28:00 — Gut health and thyroid conversion (when labs look fine but you feel awful) 34:00 — Leaky gut, testosterone, and why hormones don't operate in isolation 41:00 — Where to actually start if this feels overwhelming The Big Takeaway Hormones don't malfunction in isolation. They respond to the environment inside your body — especially in the gut. Great news, it's fixable. When digestion, detoxification, and inflammation are off, hormones get louder… not because they're broken, but because they're stuck in the wrong feedback loop. This episode is about stepping out of symptom-chasing mode and into physiology-first thinking — where the goal isn't control, restriction, or another protocol… but restoring systems that already know what to do.

Have you taken progesterone expecting calm, better sleep, or relief from PMS… only to feel more anxious, wired, or worse overall? You are not a failure—and progesterone is not failing you. Your body is responding exactly as physiology dictates. The issue is how progesterone is being delivered and metabolized. In this episode, Dr. McCarthy explains: What it means to be a progesterone reverse responder How progesterone normally supports mood and brain chemistry through allopregnanolone Why some women experience paradoxical anxiety, insomnia, or agitation The role of the 5-alpha reductase pathway in progesterone metabolism Why oral progesterone can overwhelm the brain in certain women How PCOS, topical testosterone, stress, insulin resistance, and ultra-processed diets can amplify reverse responses Why kinetics and delivery method matter just as much as dosage Dr. Brendan McCarthy is the founder and Chief Medical Officer of Protea Medical Center in Arizona. With over two decades of experience, he's helped thousands of patients navigate hormonal imbalances using bioidentical HRT, nutrition, and root-cause medicine.
