Today, I am thrilled to speak with Dr. Cory Jones to delve into the concept of the "middle pause," which refers to the transition from perimenopause to menopause. We'll examine how lifestyle habits that were effective in women's 20s and 30s may lose their efficacy during this phase. Dr. Jones emphasizes the reduced capacity to "burn the candle at both ends" and the transition from people-pleasing to more straightforward communication. We'll cover the behavioral impacts of hormonal changes, the significance of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and the importance of adrenal health. We both stress the need for women to seek supportive healthcare providers and embrace this transitional period. Tune in! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: The concept of "middle pause," encompassing perimenopause and menopause Changes in lifestyle habits and their effectiveness during this transitional phase Decline of people-pleasing tendencies and the shift toward direct communication Impact of hormonal changes on behavior and emotional responses Understanding physiological changes, including hormonal imbalances Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and its effects on mood and well-being Relationship dynamics and challenges faced by women during this transition Self-advocacy and finding supportive healthcare providers Connection between hormonal changes and food sensitivities or allergies Education and awareness regarding health and wellness during aging Bio: Dr. Carrie Jones Dr. Carrie Jones is an internationally recognized speaker, consultant, author, and educator on the topic of women's health and hormones with over 20 years in the industry.

The brain's ability to recover after trauma is astonishing—and often overlooked in conventional care. In this episode of New Frontiers in Functional Medicine, I sit down with Dr. David Musnick, a long-time friend and brilliant clinician, to explore how we can unlock the brain's full potential for healing. Dr. Musnick challenges the standard of care for traumatic brain injuries and post-concussion syndrome, introducing a functional medicine approach that integrates advanced tools like Frequency-Specific Microcurrent, targeted nutritional strategies, and personalized interventions. His insights into the stages of recovery, the importance of addressing neuroinflammation, and the role of the gut-brain connection were a true "aha" for me. We also dive into groundbreaking methods for reversing secondary brain damage, a concept that could change everything for patients and practitioners alike. This conversation is packed with actionable takeaways and hope for those navigating brain injuries, cognitive impairment, or persistent post-concussion symptoms.

In this episode, I'm excited to sit down with hormone expert Dr. Carrie Jones as we dive into the journey through perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause—the stages that so many women experience yet often feel unprepared for. We're shedding light on the symptoms that commonly get overlooked, why they're missed, and why understanding these changes is essential for both your current well-being and your future health. Whether you're just starting perimenopause, currently in menopause, or navigating post-menopause, this episode is packed with insights to help you take charge of your health at every stage. Dr. Jones and I are here to remind you that each phase is an opportunity to make choices that support your body and mind. So tune in, take notes, and get ready to embrace this journey with confidence. Let's make each stage of life as healthy and fulfilling as possible! Key Takeaways: Perimenopause is a transitional period marked by fluctuating hormone levels, potentially starting as early as a woman's 30s, which often leads to a variety of physical and emotional symptoms. Environmental toxins and endocrine disruptors can significantly impact the onset and severity of menopausal symptoms, highlighting the importance of detoxification and lifestyle changes. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) emerges as a valuable option for many, with the potential to alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats, while also impacting heart health and bone density. The integrative approach, combining hormone therapy with lifestyle interventions—like diet, exercise, and stress management—offers a promising strategy for enhancing healthspan and longevity in women. Monitoring hormonal changes through tests like FSH levels and a focus on dietary diversity can aid in managing symptoms more effectively during menopause.   More of  Dr. Carrie Jones: Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH, MSCP, is a globally renowned expert in women's health and hormones, with over 20 years of experience as a speaker, consultant, author, and educator.

For anyone who has been paying attention, you may already know that the takeaways related to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) from the original Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study have been completely overhauled. It's about time! As a result, it's not an understatement to say that we are in the midst of a total transformation in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and it's essential that as providers we (1) get up to speed on the nuances of the new interpretations and (2) learn how to personalize the guidance we give. Dr. Allison Smith, from Precision Analytical, is really a bright, guiding light in this new era of hormone care. She joins me in this episode of New Frontiers to start to unpack some of those important considerations and share resources for where practitioners can learn more. She explains why more detailed hormone metabolite testing can provide answers to hormonal symptoms when standard serum measures of testosterone and estrogen are “normal.” She also shines a light on the need for understanding how our patients are metabolizing hormones, especially if they are on HRT as well as to optimize their long-term cardiovascular, bone, skin, and brain health. This is indispensable listening and I'm sure you'll enjoy this conversation as much as I did. - DrKF Check out the show notes at https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/fxmed-podcast/ for the full list of links and resources.

“Women are so cerebral. We're running things. We're doing things, we are getting there. And it disconnects us from our pelvic floor. And when we look at the pelvic floor, that is our safety. That is our power,” shares Debbie Rice, ND. Debbie is the Director of Clinical Education for Precision Analytical and also practices part time as a naturopathic doctor. Her focus is on hormone health, thyroid health, and adrenal health. Most people have a very limited education on hormones, especially when it comes to women and their cycles. Hormones play a large role in overall health for both women and men and are critical for helping the body manage stress. Today, Debbie joins host Lara to discuss the importance of a healthy hormone balance.   It is a common misconception that hormones are static within the body. In truth, hormones are continually fluctuating depending on your circumstances, and with women, routinely fluctuating throughout their cycles. People are so busy nowadays and it is easy to end up so disconnected from your body that you are not really noticing your hormonal shifts. At Precision Analytical, Debbie performs hormone evaluation through the Dutch test, which uses dried urine to test for levels of sex hormones and adrenal hormones. This test is very helpful for understanding how your body is processing estrogen, testosterone and progesterone as well as the stress hormone, cortisol.   Knowing what your hormone levels are within your body empowers you to make more informed choices for managing your stress levels and preventing burnout. Not all providers are particularly knowledgeable about hormones and may not even think to discuss them with their patients. If you are looking to better manage your stress, seek a provider who understands the critical influence of hormones on the body.    Quotes • “We have choices that influence our health. We have choices that can lead us down the healthier pathway.” (23:26-23:35 | Debbie) • “Some people feel silenced, even when they're talking to their provider.” (33:17-33:20 | Debbie) • “There are choices that you can make with your lifestyle that make such a huge difference in how your body registers that stress.” (35:17-35:23 | Debbie)  • “Women are so cerebral. We're running things. We're doing things, we are getting there. And it disconnects us from our pelvic floor. And when we look at the pelvic floor, that is our safety. That is our power.” (37:12-37:22 | Debbie)     Links Connect with Debbie Rice: Website: dutchtest.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drrice.debbie/   Connect with Lara:  Website: https://drlarasalyer.com Instagram: @drlarasalyer Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drlarasalyer Linked-In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drlarasalyer/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/DrLaraSalyer TikTok: @Creativity.Doctor   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Season two kicks off with DUTCH Chief Medical Officer Jaclyn Smeaton, ND, discussing the latest hormone testing research with President and Founder of Precision Analytical, Mark Newman, MS. Tune in to learn how "meaningful differentiation" can help providers make more personalized treatment decisions, and more. 

Today, I am lucky to have here with me, Dr. Carrie Jones, a functional medicine women's health and hormone doctor. Dr. Carrie Jones believes in the importance of both men and women understanding their hormones in a simplified manner so they can feel more empowered to take control of their health, especially when they are told everything is "normal." Still, they don't feel "normal." This episode originally aired on December 2019. Dr. Carrie is a Naturopathic Physician with a Master's in Public Health, having over 12 years in the field of functional and integrative medicine. As Adjunct Faculty for the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM), she has taught courses in both Gynecology and Advanced Endocrinology. Dr. Carrie has been the Medical Director for two large integrative clinics in Portland, Oregon. Dr. Carrie is currently the Medical Director for Precision Analytical, Inc, creators of the most cutting edge hormone test on the market, the DUTCH Test. As a result, Dr. Carrie consults with the most fantastic health care practitioners all over the world on the hormone status of their patients, and lecture/teach/frequently write on the same topic. Understanding adrenal, thyroid, and sex hormones are complicated. Dr. Carrie's job is not to judge. Her job is to educate and empower. In this episode, Dr. Carrie Jones speaks about common women's health issues. Lack of energy is a common complaint which could be due to a variety of issues. It is essential to get morning sunlight to combat the lack of energy. If you do not have access to sunlight, Dr. Carrie says to get a full-spectrum light. Then, Carrie explains the importance of healthy fats on our hormones. If women are not eating healthy fats, they stop ovulating, their skin breaks out, and their hair is in poor health. Later, Dr. Carrie advises on how to prevent constipation and heavy periods.

Hormone therapy is still a highly controversial topic, fraught with lots of emotion, fear, and misleading information. And let me tell you: am I glad to be having a deep dive into the literature with my colleague and friend, the very brilliant Dr. Doreen Saltiel from Precision Analytical. She's been practicing medicine for 40 years and preventative cardiology for more than 25 years. With advanced training in endocrinology as well as metabolic, anti-aging, and nutritional medicine, Dr. Saltiel is a leading expert on male and female hormone health. In this episode of New Frontiers, she brings her talent of dissecting the scientific evidence on testosterone deficiency and shares excellent clinical pearls to guide both physicians and patients in making decisions around hormone therapy. Folks, you'll want to bookmark this one and save the show notes. Thanks for reading, sharing, and commenting! ~DrKF

If You Want to Gain More Energy You Should: Lower your stress response to allow your body to make the right amount of cortisol for you Build muscle through resistance training in order to manage your glucose intake Stress your mitochondria consistently and in the right ways in order to balance your hormone production  Implement simple and effective lifestyle changes to improve your mitochondrial function and cortisol production   Do you dread having to drag yourself out of bed in the morning, knowing that you might not have enough energy to get through the day? The two biggest causes for this lack of energy is inefficient mitochondrial function and the hormone cortisol.  The good news is that there are simple lifestyle changes and tools that are easy, inexpensive, and possible to do from home that can balance your cortisol and improve your mitochondrial function.   Connecting the Dots With Dr. Carrie Jones Dr. Carrie Jones is a practitioner, internationally recognized speaker, consultant, and educator in all things women’s health and hormones and a fellow mitochondria nerd. Dr. Carrie is the medical direction for Precision Analytical, the creators of the DUTCH hormone test, my hands down favorite test for understanding what is going on with your hormones.   Cortisol Is the Key Connecting the dots between your mitochondrial function, cortisol production, stress, sleep, and glucose can help you understand what is going on in your body so that you can relieve your symptoms and start harnessing the energy you need to get through your busy day.  It is no secret that everything happening within your body affects one another. The #1 role of cortisol is to manage your glucose and help you wake up in the morning through the cortisol awakening response. You need to get out of the negative cortisol feedback loop and increase your cortisol production by feeding the mitochondria what it needs to work the right way.   Happy Mitochondria = Happy Women Happy mitochondria equal happy women, and happy women make the world go round. Improve your mitochondrial happiness comes down to consistency in how you stress your mitochondria in the right ways.  Things such as building muscle with resistance training, improving your posture, and getting a good night's sleep are all simple and easy ways to heal what is going on with your hormones and give you back the energy you crave. Are you ready to take back control of your energy by improving your mitochondrial function and cortisol production? Share how you are getting a grip on what is happening with your hormones in the comments section of the episode page.   Quotes: “There are women who are like ‘im sensitive to everything, I react to everything’ and these little shifts in stress and sleep or diet or the covid-19 weight gain, it affects them. It affects your hormones.” (17:36) “Cortisol does a lot. But like Goldilocks, too much is a problem, and too little is a problem. We want it just right.” (19:52) “It's the cortisol with the glucose with the insulin that has changed lately, and as a result, you have to shift with it. You have to shift with it in the type of exercise that you do and how you manage stress. Otherwise, you will end up like the ‘too little’ Goldilocks.” (26:29) “It doesn't have to be really huge, expensive and complicated. It can be pretty straight forward and easy which is what I love about the mitochondria.” (33:43) “I hate when women just run out and take iron, I hate when women just run out and take copper. Because you can overdose on those things and it can be problematic so you want to be really careful of randomly just going online or running to your store and buying stuff.” (39:34)   In This Episode Understanding the hormone pathways that are impacting your energy, period, and more (13:10) How cortisol can interrupt your natural rhythms and your energy supply (18:37) Simple and inexpensive ways that you can make your mitochondria happier (30:30) Connecting the dots between your mitochondrial health and your energy levels (35:22) The best way to understand your fatigue and test your hormones and mitochondrial health markers (44:24)   Resources Mentioned: Dr. Mariza’s Green Smoothie Recipe Guide Precision Analytical DUTCH Hormone Test – Use Code dutch50 for $50 off the DUTCH Complete or DUTCH Plus Tests Dutch Test Website Follow Dr. Carrie on Instagram   Related Episodes:  Episode 120: Is Your Doctor Using The Correct Hormone Test… Or Not?

Dr Carrie Jones Podcast Episode    On today’s episode we have Dr. Carrie Jones, a naturopathic doctor and the medical director at Precision Analytical’s DUTCH test - AKA the Hormone Doctor herself! She loves to empower women to understand more about their bodies so that they can advocate for themselves. We dive in with Dr. Jones to talk more about what women can do that struggle with estrogen dominance and endometriosis, since so many women suffer from these conditions and no one ever prepares us how to navigate them.    Many times we find women who are diagnosed with endometriosis face multiple dead-end suggestions by their doctors: 1) suck it up and move on; 2) go on birth control to treat symptoms; or 3)... get pregnant. Well- we know these are not ideal solutions to our problems. Many women go years without getting a proper diagnosis and therefore suffer from crazy symptoms for far too long, just to get tossed birth control as the end-all-be-all solution. Does this sound all too familiar?!    In this episode, we discuss how endometriosis should properly be diagnosed, how it can disrupt the TTC process, foods that can help estrogen detox, and natural techniques to detox our livers of estrogen. We also review the mechanism of how soy is linked to estrogen, the hidden beauty of castor oil, and how valuable unpeeled organic carrots can be.    Dr. Jones discusses estrogen detoxification in depth; the 1st and 2nd step happening in the liver and the 3rd step happening in the kidney. In the liver, phase 1 and phase 2 rely on veggies like broccoli, kale, unpeeled organic carrots, and brussel sprouts to detox optimally (cruciferous veggies).  Magnesium, zinc, and choline are also essential to detoxing in the second phase within the liver. She elaborates on the mechanism of why these veggies aid estrogen detox. The third step in the estrogen detox process occurs in the kidneys and hydration helps this to run efficiently. So - make sure you are having regular bowel movements every day! We discuss more about staying hydrated, having a regular peeing schedule, and Dr. Jones’ favorite electrolyte powders.    Have you ever wondered why you might feel bloated, have a ton of gas that could clear out a room, or have heartburn after a meal? Have you ever wondered how autoimmune diseases caused by gluten intolerance are formed? Dr. Jones shares with us techniques like how simply chewing your food completely with your mouth closed can really enhance digestion, absorption of nutrients, and prevent autoimmune diseases.    Lastly, Dr. Jones discusses common patterns she sees on a DUTCH test that indicate estrogen dominance or low progesterone production with regards to endometriosis. She also talks about what an ideal cortisol, melatonin, and glutathione pattern should look like throughout the day on DUTCH test results.

Digestive flares before a woman's period and why this can occur. How gut inflammation can affect hormones - for example by raising cortisol, raising estrogen, raising 5 alpha reductase, lowering dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), affecting the absorption of nutrients that comprise hormones. How lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and endotoxemia can impair and congest phase 1 and 2 liver detoxification pathways. Nutritional cofactors required to support smooth Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) functioning, especially in light of COMT single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Symptoms of estrogen dominance in men and women. Hormone patterns related to a dysfunctional gut microbiome. The estrobolome and how it can dictate how much beta-glucuronidase is produced, as well as how much dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is released from the body. All about estrogen metabolism, the different metabolites that are produced, which ones are beneficial, and the liver pathways used for processing. Which estrogen metabolising pathways have associated cancer risk? The role of beta-glucuronidase in disrupting estrogen excretion. High toxic load patients and how hormone disruptors affect CYP enzymes and estrogen receptors. How can a patient show symptoms of estrogen dominance and yet their hormonal profiles be ok? Hint: If proliferative estrogen metabolising pathways favoured. When to intervene for hormonal balance when client presents with gastrointestinal issues? In light of high levels of beta-glucuronidase. How to test for beta-glucuronidase - fecal. What can we do about estrogen dominance? Support for Phase 1 Diindolylmethane (DIM) for clients favouring unhealthy 4-OH E1 or 16a-OH E1 pathways. Dietary adjustment to include Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) containing vegetables. Broccoli sprout powder for sulforaphane (to activate quinone reductase) Helps reverse the effects of going down unhealthy 4-OH E1 pathway. Glutathione support with N-acetylcysteine (NAC), and liposomal glutathione. Support for Phase 2 (COMT support) Magnesium Methylated B Vitamins Methionine Choline S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine (SAMe) Gut treatment Calcium D-glucarate to help lower beta-glucuronidase levels. Fibrous foods to bind free floating estrogen. Note: Broccoli and fibrous products not recommended in phase 1 of SIBO treatment. When to use binders in detoxification treatment. Progesterone Why can people with bloating potentially be progesterone deficient? Progesterone cream in second half of the cycle versus vitex supplementation - what age groups are appropriate to each? DUTCH testing - what is the difference between all the testing available? Saliva tests - free hormones. Blood tests - hormones are bound to sex hormone binding globulins or other carrier proteins. DUTCH test - free hormones and metabolites. Cortisol and cortisone - how to assess beyond an adrenal stress index, the difference between both forms, and why the body may have a pattern of inactivating cortisol into cortisone. How to balance cortisol to cortisone ratio? The role of licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) Flatlining cortisol and its role as a marker for chronic infection, its association with an increased risk for cancer, and increased risk for autoimmune issues. The cortisol awakening response and how it works with the thymus gland to destroy autoimmune antibodies. The link between chronic infections and low cortisol, and how to address. All about DHEA and DHEA-S Counters stress Energy, bone health, neurotransmitter balance, sex drive, muscle development. 7-keto DHEA - what is this? Supporting DHEA via adrenal support. When and when not to test hormone levels. Endometriosis and digestive disturbance due to adhesions, inflammation, and excess estrogen. New developments in the hormonal testing field. IBS symptoms around the period and why this may be. The importance of structural alignment for uterine and intestinal health. Therapy to address structural alignment - visceral manipulation, pelvic massages, and bodywork. Flaxseeds Helpful for estrogen dominance Raises SHBG (note that flaxseeds preferentially bind testosterone - so care in women who are struggling with testosterone levels) Soy The role of fermented soy for hormonal balance in menopause. Is soy estrogenic, or does it downregulate the proliferative estrogen pathway?
