You know, which is like what we're doing, and there's so much to be done. There's so much and then obviously it gets into the whole prevention of chronic care and crisis care in the long term. Lesley Logan 0:19  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 1:03  All right, Be It babe, I have a great human for you to hear from today. So I have been on a mission to help educate women on how to be it till they see it and part of that is you feeling like you have the health and the body and the strength and the stamina and the hormones that take you to where you want to go. And so today's guest is Kristin Mallon. She is part of the FemGevity team. You definitely have to listen to Michele Wispelwey's episode from last year, if you haven't, because the two combined are just absolutely wonderful. I have never had so much hope about women's health since I met them, and now I just feel educated, informed, supported. And so the first part of this episode is gonna feel medical-heavy, ladies, you gotta listen. Those of you, no matter where you are, what's going on, it's really good information. You can share it with a friend. And then, we have a really great, she blew my mind. I'm not kidding. What I expected her to answer and what she answered, wouldn't have guessed it in a multiple choice. And now that I know her, I would always, her tips and some of these things that she does for her life, have me wanting to reevaluate what I want to do in my year and what I want to call in more of. So this is just a chock-full episode. Thank you, Kristin Mallon from FemGevity for being here. And y'all make sure you let us know how this episode helped you. Share this with a friend. Here's the thing, we all have to educate each other and ourselves and support each other and to the few good men listening. Thank you so much. You should know this about women's health. Send it to your friend, your sister or your cousin, because this is how we all get stronger together. Lesley Logan 2:36  All right, Be It babe, this is going to be just so much fun. I have been sharing the reels that this woman has been putting out on Instagram multiple times. I'm like, I'm gonna share this one. I'm gonna share this one. We have Kristin Mallon in the house. She's a co-founder of FemGevity, and I love her. Love Michele. If you listened to the podcast I had with Michele Wispelwey, you know what they are. If you follow me at all, you know I'm obsessed with them and all that they're doing. So Kristin, can you tell everyone who you tell everyone who you are and what you rock at? Kristin Mallon 3:04  Yeah, I'm Kristin Mallon. I'm a certified nurse midwife, and I've been doing women's health for over 20 years, and really focusing on, obviously, being a midwife, the blend of medicine, but also ancient wisdom. Lesley Logan 3:17  Okay, I have a couple of things I wanna just chat with. Is like, first of all, I think midwives feel like, to me, they're becoming more and more popular and more and more accessible. Is that true? And then for the people who don't know what a midwife is, can you kind of break that down? Kristin Mallon 3:30  So, yes and no. I think there's pockets of the country where they're becoming popular and pockets of the country where they're becoming unpopular. There's a big, I think, problem in general, with the, you know, or challenge, I don't always like to say problem with, a big challenge with reimbursements across the board for all people that practice any type of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and so we're not really educating and training enough midwives. I think the desire is there and the demand is there, but then the burnout is high, and there's the business aspect, because most midwives are really altruistic, and they really kind of go into this type of work, because it's their passion. So that needs a little bit more support and needs a little bit more, you know, kind of hand-holding. Midwives are confusing, because people think midwives are doulas, people think midwives are doctors, and then kind of everything in between. So I am a board certified nurse midwife. So that's kind of like the highest level of midwifery training and education that you can get. I have a nursing degree. I have a master's degree in nursing and then I took a board certification that I maintain. You know, every year, there's a certain level of requirement that I have to attain. I deliver all of my births in a hospital, and I do assist on surgeries, and I do minor gynecological surgeries, and I really do everything that an obstetrician does, not really a gynecologist. So someone who's delivering babies working with babies, that's what I do. There's other types of midwives, so there's certified midwives who are midwives that are not nurses. There's lay midwives, which are midwives that are trained in a variety of different ways, usually kind of more culturally-trained. And then there's professional midwives, and their certification is a little bit different. And then all states have different governing boards about how they allow them to practice and not practice. But pretty much, if you're going to have a home birth, you're having a midwife. I know like one OB GYN in my whole career, and I know thousands of people in the birth space that he is a physician that does home births, but 96-ish, 95% of midwives are doing their births in a hospital setting so it's kind of confusing. They really are a nurse and an OB GYN had a baby and that's a midwife.Lesley Logan 5:41  Okay, I love that. Thank you for explaining it, because I think I definitely was one of the oh, it's like a doula. And I have a friend who's a doula, so I know clearly my friend is now finding out I didn't know what she did. Okay.Kristin Mallon 5:53  Well, and doulas are really, I always like to make this distinction and like the opportunity to educate people, because doulas have no medical training, no medical background, no medical certification, no licensing, they have to maintain and they can't perform any medical procedures. Whereas a midwife can do pretty much everything an obstetrician can do, except they can't be a primary surgeon on a surgical case.Lesley Logan 6:13  Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Okay, so then you have been, so my other thing with what you've been rocking at is that you've been in, like, women's health medical field for 20 years, and I wonder, what have you seen change for the better, and what still needs changing that we can, you know, make sure we're aware of. I'm 42. This is coming out when I'm 42. I love that people are like, wow, you don't look 42. That's great. I would love to stay looking young as long as possible. That's wonderful. But I don't want to feel, I would like to feel young, too. So I'm just really excited about what you do and what you know about women's health.Kristin Mallon 6:49  Yeah, so we've come so far. So in the last 20 years, I think we've made remarkable strides in miscarriage care, in contraception and fertility care, in reproductive care, in breast health, just kind of an awareness, a lot of mental health awareness, a lot of cancer awareness, cardiovascular awareness. I think the areas where we need to improve on is definitely access. Not all women have access to the types of care they want. There's just not enough OB GYNs. And, unfortunately, there's not enough OB GYNs, there's not enough midwives. We're not graduating enough to replace the ones that are leaving the workforce on a year-to-year basis. It's kind of a big problem. And then, of course, which is what FemGevity is all about, is I know everybody can relate so well to this. You go to the doctor, you don't feel right, and they tell you, your labs are normal, but something's still wrong. And that's really where FemGevity was born, or birthed, so to speak, is from that sensation, because I dealt with that for 20 years. I was like, something's still, like, labs are normal, something's still wrong. Okay, let me look, let me dig, let me keep going. Let me pull from functional medicine. Let me pull from integrative medicine. Let me pull from longevity medicine. And let's figure that out. And a lot of that has to do with how women change decade to decade. So men kind of have this big change at puberty, and then they kind of peak, and then they kind of slowly evolve and change really gradually. And women are so different decade to decade. And once I kind of really started to unravel that and pull that back, it was easy to apply that to all the different things, including menopause care and endometriosis care, PCOS care, fertility care, reproductive care, women's health in general, from head to toe. And you know, a big thing that we do at FemGevity is a lot of gut health, like the gut is such a big overlooked thing. People think oh, I'm tired. I need to check for anemia, I need to check my thyroid. But we're like, no, you need to check your gut. We need to check micronutrient levels. We need to look deeper. So that's where I think we still have a long way to go and a long way to come, and that's what we're doing at FemGevity.Lesley Logan 8:50  Yeah, I think every woman listening is nodding their head when you're like, I went to the doctor and like, everything is normal. I actually had a female doctor in the, I forget what department it was, but it was like in these extreme diseases. And the woman, I got sent to her and she's like, do you feel supported by your doctor? And I'm, no, why am I here? This is the scariest place I could be. I am now very scared. Do I have AIDS? What is going on? And she's like, okay, I think we need to find, it was like a gut doctor who sent me there and because he couldn't figure what's going on, because I kept insisting, I'm not right, something's not right, and so I just got passed off. And, you know, a lot of people have, like, experienced a lot of family or in the holidays or birthdays, and you hear someone going, oh, it's what I ate yesterday. It's what I ate yesterday. I'm like, is it though, or is it something from a week ago? Or is it something? Because the gut is such a complicated, to me, it's complicated, place like it's not necessarily what you ate in the last meal. It could be from another meal that you don't remember.Kristin Mallon 8:51  Yeah, absolutely. And I think what you're talking about is it's really not doctors' faults, because the way that the healthcare system is set up, at least in the United States, is it's really crisis care, sick care, catastrophic care, cancer care, you know, the big C's of care. And if you don't have a chronic condition, you're really going to your doctor and you're saying do I have a chronic condition? And your doctor is telling you truthfully, no, you don't have something like diabetes or high blood pressure or cardiac disease, liver disease, kidney disease, etc. And so there's this huge gap between optimal health and chronic care and crisis care and sick care that needs to be filled, which is like what we're doing, and there's so much to be done. There's so much and then obviously it gets into the whole prevention of chronic care and crisis care in the long term. That's where my passion lies. That's what I'm really just I want for myself, I want for my family, I want for my friends. And I'm just like, so excited to let other women know, and men too, that there's an option. There's someone that can help you. There is a medically trained, licensed professional that can help navigate you through that. Well, everything's fine here, but you still don't feel right.Lesley Logan 10:58  Yeah, thank you for explaining that, because it is true that if you're not one of those big C's, you kind of feel like you're in this abyss. And it is amazing that FemGevity's kind of hope is like trying to fill that gap, which is really great. But I think I wonder, I obviously worry, if you don't get someone like you, eventually you end up in a few C's. The thing that's been bothering you that they haven't figured out, because it's not glaringly obvious, it's going to lead you that way. So let's just say most of the women here are over 40. What are some of the things that they need to make sure that they're checking as they're planning their annuals for this year and things like that, I guess, preventative wise, and then also just so that they're aware and they could be watching things as their body changes.Kristin Mallon 11:34  Well, one of the things that I really noticed working with women for so long is that women are really intuitive, and they tend, you know, some women are born and blessed with this great sense of intuition at the age of six, but most women grow and evolve into their intuition. And so there's so many different things women can focus on in their 40s. And I think a lot of times they know, they know, like, should I be focusing on hormone health? Should I be focusing on gut health? Should I be focusing on exercise, diet, nutrition, sleep? You know, the list goes on. And so what I like to do is, I like to, whenever I meet with a woman, is I kind of like to tease that out of her and try to get a sense from what she's already thinking herself, and really encourage her to go along that path and that trajectory like, you know, well, I've been thinking I should work on my sleep. And I've been thinking I should get a sleep tracker. And I'm like, yes, let's do that. What are your symptoms? Okay, I encourage her and say, I can see how that could be related to sleep, or I can see how that could be related to gut, or that could be related to diet. So I think in your 40s, it's really like you already know, and it's just kind of giving yourself the confidence to be like, okay, I know I need to find someone that's an expert in X that can help me unravel what could this possibly be, and then heading down that path. Lesley Logan 12:49  That's really beautiful. How nice Kristin, we could just listen to the intuition instead of like, sometimes people are trying to get you not to listen to it. It's like, focus on this over here. Focus on this over here. I think that's really wonderful and supportive. Kristin Mallon 13:03  Yeah, I mean, I think if you don't know where to start, sometimes, I think women can also have periods of less intuition, which I think is sometimes, like a leveling up, sometimes a stock will go down before it shoots up. And so maybe if you're caught in that place where you're like, you know, I don't know where to start, my mom says this. My sister says this. My friend said this. Usually it's hormones and gut just start with hormones. Get those checked by someone like myself, who's a hormone expert, who can read between the lines of what a normal lab, because a normal lab is saying, okay, you don't have Addison's disease, you don't have Cushing's disease, you don't have diabetes, you don't have hypothyroidism, but yeah, do you have subclinical fatigue related, a low T3? Do you have not enough conversion of the hormone T3 to T4 which any normal endocrinologist is going to be like, that doesn't matter. You don't have Hashimoto's, you don't have autoimmune disease, but you do have something that's affecting you. So hormones is a really good place to start. And then gut health. I mean, we do so many gut tests every day, and we rarely find someone that has like, a perfectly optimal, normal functioning gut. You know, I would say like, 99% of the time there's room for improvement in the gut.Lesley Logan 14:06  That is so funny. As we are recording this, I'm awaiting like, an update on a gut test, because y'all found a parasite the first time. And I was like, oh, well, that.Kristin Mallon 14:15  Oh, fun. Lesley Logan 14:16  I know. I was like, well, that's, you know, and people are like, oh, which country do you think you got it? I'm like you can get it from sushi, guys. It's not like I have to leave the country for this. Who knows? So I'm excited to see if it's gone. And also I had some dysbiosis, and I am excited, because I can tell when my gut health is strong. I have so much more energy. I feel like a more confident person. I feel more unstoppable. My sleep is absolutely amazing. It's not a surprise to me that, like, I had a little gut situation while I was traveling, and my sleep is off. I'm like, something's maybe something's going on there. So I really love that. If they're not working with you at FemGevity, what are they asking for? Because I know when I try to ask my female general practitioner for a hormone test, she specifically said, oh, you can't test those. They change all the time. And I was just like, I'm paying for this. I don't really know what you're worried about. So what should they be asking for or looking at when it comes to getting those things tested?Kristin Mallon 15:10  Yeah, so hormone health. So really, you kind of just want to get all your sex steroid hormones, which include sex hormone binding globulin, estradiol. If you really want to go deeper, you can get your estrone level done and your estriol level done, which you know maybe might not necessarily be necessary, progesterone, testosterone, free and total thyroid, insulin, cortisol. We do a lot of also functional medicine testing within that so usually, like hemoglobin A1C, homocysteine, CBC, looking at lipid panels, chemistry, liver function, kidney function. That's the general census of like, where you kind of want to go down. Prolactin levels are there too. I can even give you a list, because I'm rattling these off the top of my head, if you want to include it in your show notes, of the hormones I recommend getting. Lesley Logan 15:58  Yeah, we love that. Also, we'll transcribe this guys, so you can just go to the show notes and just take a screenshot. Kristin says.Kristin Mallon 16:05  Yeah, and I want to make sure I didn't forget any there too. Lesley Logan 16:07  Yeah, yeah, we'll love that. Kristin Mallon 16:08  For gut health, so there's really two companies that do, I think, so, you know, my business partner, Michele Wispelwey, her whole background was in the diagnostic lab space, so she is like a lab guru and knows everything. And also myself, like working with women and working with labs gone through so many renditions of labs over time, and labs that closed, and labs that were new and startup labs and labs that merged. And so I think there's a pretty standard gut test called a GI-MAP test, and there's another standard gut test called GI Effects. So GI-MAP is by Diagnostic Solutions, and GI Effects is by Genova Diagnostics. And so you can ask for a GI-MAP that's pretty, most really with it, longevity, functional medicine, integrative medicine, doctors are going to know what a GI-MAP test is, and that's kind of your standard gut test. I always caution women about, this is, like, a really classic thing that I saw with the advent so we do a lot of genomics, and we do a lot of genetic testing too. And so 23andMe came on the scene, and everybody was getting this direct to consumer test, and they were giving it to me, and I'm like, oh my gosh, this is so basic compared to what you can get from a licensed physician. And the same thing is true with like, over the counter gut tests. You can get an over the counter gut test that's probably going to cost you a similar amount of money when you go to a licensed medical provider, and it's just not going to tell you anywhere near as much like GI-MAP does, like 88 different pathogens and microbes. You're looking at yeast, parasites, you're looking for H. pylori, you're looking for dysbiosis, commensal bacteria. So good gut bacteria, bad gut bacteria, so many different things. You're getting virulence levels. So you're getting the actual amount. They're what are called PCR tests, which is like the kind of highest standard of care. So this was, like a big thing in COVID, was your COVID test, RNA, or DNA or PCR testing, and the PCR tests were the best tests. So you're just getting so much more when you go with those two companies. Lesley Logan 18:01  Yeah. So how often should we be doing this? We're getting our hormone test every year. Should we be doing a gut test annually? Is this something you have to do more often? How much is too much?Kristin Mallon 18:12  So I think once a year is probably the minimum, because you will be able to track yourself over time and be able to have data on yourself to look back at and say, okay, when I was 36 or when I was 46 or 56 my hormone levels were this and I felt this way. Some people check them every day. There's a, I just said don't do over the counter. But there is an over the counter test called Miracare, which is kind of like a fertility tracking device, where you can pee on a stick, and it will tell you what your daily progesterone and estrogen levels are. It tells you LH and FSH too, but that's not as important to the overall daily hormone picture. So you can do kind of anything but, once a year. The other thing about hormone testing is that it's important to know, like women get so much confusing information, do I need hormone testing? Do I not need hormone testing? Someone's giving me birth control without hormones or giving HRT without having my hormones tested. Like, why do I need it? Or why do I not need it? And so the gold standard hasn't been set yet. We haven't really come to a consensus as a medical community about how often should this be done. You know, we know in diabetes testing that someone should get a hemoglobin A1C like, every three to six months. We know in when someone's being put on a thyroid medication for the first time, we should check their thyroid every four to six weeks until it's managed and at a normal level. So this hasn't been set, which is why you have so many different clinicians with so many different conflicting views, including you don't need it or you do need it. The way we really use labs at FemGevity is once you've been looking at labs like I have for 20 years, you start to notice patterns. And even though these patterns aren't written down in a protocol by the American College of Obstetrician and Gynecologists, I'm just observationally matching it up with women have been telling me x and here's what the lab data is showing me. And so I'm using my clinical judgment. To kind of make those decisions. Also, it is true that your hormones can change so much, so when we look at an estrogen level, let's say you could be 33 in one blood draw and then in another blood draw with just a couple months apart, you could be like 133 but the main thing is is you're not zero, or you're not almost close to zero, and you're not 400 so you're kind of looking at it like a range versus an exact number. We do a lot of hormone balancing, and we do prescribe HRT and hormone replacement therapy. And so women will start on a hormone and their levels will actually go down. And so they're really confused. Well, I'm taking this extra hormone, but my levels are going down. And so it could just be exactly to what you said, like where we caught them in their cycle when we tested the first time, and then where we're catching them in their cycle and we test the second time. And if they don't have a menstrual cycle and are having a period anymore, they're still having ebbs and flows. Hormones are pulsatile. They pulse even like any hormone, like thyroid or insulin, insulin is a hormone, too. You can think about it, it just pulses into the bloodstream. And so are you catching it up on a trop or on a bow? And that's why we need to know. You know, let's say we give someone testosterone, for example, are you coming back with a male level in your bloodstream? Okay, that's too high. We need to cut down. So we're not waiting for symptoms to come up, symptoms of too much testosterone. We're checking the labs to make sure that we're in a ballpark. It's not so specific, and I think that can help women to interpret their labs and also to understand the big discrepancy. Well, this practitioner says this, and this practitioner says this, and neither of them are probably wrong.Lesley Logan 21:34  Yeah, first of all, I love that you have so much experience. As a Pilates instructor, right, when I was a new teacher, I'm like, okay, I don't know what that is. And then, as I've been teaching for almost 20 years, it's okay most people, when I see that, they have a hard time with this. So let's do this exercise over here, because you start to understand the patterns that are happening, and it makes an art to the science, I think. And also I appreciate you explaining that there isn't a gold standard yet, and that's unfortunate, because they just haven't been testing enough. There just hasn't been we lost a lot of time back when they thought HRT was the worst thing that could happen. I feel like we've we're trying to catch up with I feel like they're in the maybe it's just because now I'm 42 and that's what my algorithm shows. But I do feel like there's a lot more people researching this and coming up and testing things out, so we can have more people explore, and then we can learn more things. So that makes me happy. Okay, you and Michele started this amazing company together. Obviously, you're an incredible doctor. You know so much. What has been the funnest thing about starting a business, and what is the hardest thing that you're that you're like you are trying to because here's why I'm coming at this. I feel like I'm looking at, oh, my God, she is a doctor. She probably has her sleep under control, her hormones under control, all these things. Has it been easy to keep a balance in your own life doing this business and what's been the funnest part about what you guys do?Kristin Mallon 23:00  Yeah, so I would say that the funnest part is really getting to work together. Like, we really like each other, and we really get along, and we really have a lot of fun together. And so when we get to work together, it's like you get to work with your best friend. Like every day. It's really a really fun thing. I think, from the challenge perspective, I personally am a really big believer in like vibration attracts like vibration. And so as long as I'm kind of keeping my vibration in check and keeping my self clean, and I'm looking to reflect that reality outside of me, then everything kind of usually everything works out for me, and everything kind of falls into place. It's just kind of been my experience in life. So the challenge is, is that when things get off track, I usually have to remember to look in the mirror and be like, okay, what is it about me that is like, what thoughts or what influences am I allowing to come into my sphere and my energetic field that aren't in alignment with me, because that's being reflected in my outside world. So that's probably the big challenge, I would say. Lesley Logan 24:08  I so understand that, I really do, because it's not at the plate, and ladies, it's not, oh, everything is our fault. It's the, hold on, what did I bring to this energy that is causing this? Because, you know, there are people who just have force of natures, but I find that if I'm feeling a little nervous, if I'm feeling a little frenetic, if I'm feeling like I don't have control over things, and then I go into the business, the way that I ask for something comes from frenetic, non-controlled, not necessarily a specific place, and then it's a domino effect of the communication is off, and it's hold on, you know? So we do have to kind of take a step back and ask ourselves that, and that's the hardest thing to do in the moment. It's so hard in the moment to go. Hold on. Let me take a pause. How's my vibration? What am I bringing to this? Kristin Mallon 24:52  Yeah, it's hard if you say it's hard (inaudible). I always use a quote that I drilled into my mind, which is, like circumstances don't matter. Only state of being matters. And it's the state of being that makes your circumstances. It's not what happens, it's what I do with what happens. And I can usually, almost always have anything that happens be to my benefit and be to my good. It's kind of like going with the flow and being in the river versus trying to, like, paddle in a specific pattern. You don't know where all the rocks are, and you don't know where all the bumps are, and so if you kind of let the river take you, you usually can, you know, it doesn't look straight, and it always you're like, Hmm, I don't know if I would like go all the way over to the right, but then you realize that, oh, there was dead current in the middle of the river, and you needed to get to the side to get to the fast current. So I kind of try to think of that as much as possible. You know, it's not, I don't always win, but I'm winning most of the time, I hope. Lesley Logan 25:48  Kristin, that is so cool. That is amazing. We're clipping that and I'm gonna put that on my wall, because it is, I, especially, most of the women listening to this, they are caring for young children. They have older parents or family members in their life. They have. Kristin Mallon 26:08  Yeah, they're the in betweens. Lesley Logan 26:09  Yes, they have and they have jobs that they have to do. And then it can feel like the circumstances around you are just hard. And so what you just gave us, is such an amazing gift. Is like the state of being, like, how can I focus on that? So do you have tools? Or is it like a mantra that you say, is it that just that the mantra helps or like?Kristin Mallon 26:30  Oh my favorite mantra, I can give you my favorite mantra that works so well. Two words. So what? So what? Whatever it is like, so what? I mean, it works for 99.9% of things. If you're like this, that I'm going to be late, I didn't put the sandwich in the lunch bag, and I didn't do the permission slip, and I forgot to put these slides in a presentation. So what, you know? And I think that's something that's always really helped me to kind of see the forest through the trees. Lesley Logan 27:03  Yeah, I can see that because I am someone who's like, we're going to be late. And unless it's the plane, probably going to be most things are fine, (inaudible) catches the flight (inaudible).Kristin Mallon 27:16  Even if it is the plane being late might have your benefit, might be to your highest good, because maybe you met someone that now you're sitting on a different flight, or you ended up being able to not miss a phone call that was coming through. So, as long as I allow that type of vibration into my field, I usually end up having those results. The other thing that I think is super helpful, that I also kind of like encourage people to do, is, if you just do it a little bit, it kind of becomes second nature, which is to watch your definitions, watch how you define things. Because even like saying, oh, it's hard to do X, yeah, if you say, I'm working on doing X, or I'm getting better at doing X, or I'm improving my X, it's a much different definition than it's hard. And it's so fun for me. Like, when I first started doing this practice a couple years ago, it was so fun to change the definitions of things and just be like, oh, this happened. Well, that happened because it was so funny. My bra was showing or, I don't know, something happened where I didn't get the job I wanted to get, or I didn't get the client I wanted to get. And instead of it being like a failure, it was a learning experience, or instead of it being a mess up, it was an opportunity for growth or development or internal reflection, or for me to get this thing that I'm talking to you about right now, which is that I can choose how I define things. Lesley Logan 28:38  I really like that, because I do think it's fun. I'm going to keep working on catching myself. But one of the ones that sticks with me, because I was raised in a household that doesn't have a lot of money, and so they'd always say we don't have any money. There's no money for that. No you can't have it. There's no money for that. Kristin Mallon 28:50  I was, too.Lesley Logan 28:51  And I was, so was my husband, and we have been really conscious. I can always tell when one of us is in a bad state, because the words we'll say we can't afford that, which is like a not, like a non-sentence in this house, because the better phrase is, we are choosing not to invest in that right now. Oh, you know what? That's great. I'm not investing in that right now. Or that's actually not something we're spending money on today. So it's not that you don't have the money, it's not that you can't afford it. It's just not a priority in this moment. Kristin Mallon 29:20  That's a perfect example of the definitions. That sentiment. So, do you know the book by Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich?Lesley Logan 29:27  Yes, I love it. I listened to the old tape or whatever. I maybe I should do that again as the year starts.Kristin Mallon 29:33  Yeah. Well, that's the epitome of what you just said. That's one of the big lessons that he talks about in that book. And that book influenced The Secret. So that's (inaudible).Lesley Logan 29:42  And everyone you can go to the original source, it's still out there. Do you remember the part? Because you're, I don't know if you maybe it didn't stick with you, but he mentioned the woman who would always put her hand on her left breast and go oh, I'm gonna get cancer. I just know I'm gonna die from cancer. And she'd always say that, and then she died of breast cancer. She like, literally, she kept putting her hand on herself saying she's gonna get it. It's like not saying that anyone who gets cancer did that to themselves. That's not it at all. But it's just like we, our words, have so much power, and we really do. I love that redefining. You guys, how are you going, like, I wonder you guys have to send in to the Be It Pod and to FemGevity which words you're redefining. I think that'd be really fun for us all to see as an experiment. Kristin, what are you most excited about right now? This is out in 2025. What are you excited that's coming up, that you guys are doing? What's going on? Kristin Mallon 30:30  I'm really excited that this concept of, so I think over the years, we've kind of defined it as functional medicine, and then we defined it as integrative medicine, and now we're defining it as longevity medicine, and I'm just so excited to be a part of that ecosystem and the effects that it has. I mean, I work with women primarily, so the effects that it has on women and the aha moments they have, and that feeling that, I think, that liberation that they've been looking for for so long that they're not just like, going down, down, down, down, down, but that they're actually going up, up, up and getting better is like, so rewarding and so fun that I'm just like, so passionate and excited about sharing that with women as much as possible. Anybody who wants to hear me talk about it, I'm like, do you want to hear me talk about optimization of health? Like, I'm totally down.Lesley Logan 31:20  I also like that it's changed to longevity medicine because the other ones were a bit vague and hard for I feel like this is what people want. It's not when you're like, oh yeah, I want a functional medicine. I guess that makes sense, but it doesn't sound sexy. I want a long life where I have longevity. I don't want to just be old. I want to have be strong and energized when I'm older, you know, I want all those things. So I think that's really cool. Since you love to talk about optimal health, is there anything else about optimizing our health that we didn't talk about that we should know about, that we should check on? Kristin Mallon 31:51  I always say don't give up on yourself, because I think women, so many times have been told no, or they go to the wrong doctor, or they hit dead ends and they think there's no hope. And if you don't give up on yourself, and you hear a podcast like this, and you're like, okay, I need to find a longevity medicine doctor. I need to find a hormone balancing expert. Or they can come over to FemGevity if they're in the United States, we can usually work with them in some way. There is a path to not just feeling better, but feeling like fantastic and great and energized. And I know there's people listening that are like, yeah, this girl's crazy. There's no way I'm so chronically fatigued. My kids are little, my parents are dying or sick. There is, there really, really, really, is just keep going on yourself and don't give up until you find the right person and the right practitioner to help you. It's worth it. So worth it.Lesley Logan 32:41  Oh, I love that. Thank you for that gift. That's a good one. We're gonna take a brief break, and then we're gonna find out where people can find you, follow you, work with you and your Be It Action Items. Lesley Logan 32:51  All right, Kristin, where can people find you? I'm gonna give you the link right now. You can go to beitpod.com/femgevity, because you guys can go and get a call and see how they can help you. But where else on the internet are y'all at?Kristin Mallon 33:04  So our website, femgevityhealth.com and all social media channels @femgevity. So we're on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn.Lesley Logan 33:15  It's probably really fun to be doctors and researchers that have to then learn social media and all the hacks. And I also love that I've got my captions to actually spell FemGevity out correctly. They can't spell my name, they can't spell my dog's name, but they can spell FemGevity. So that's the way to go, ladies. Yeah, okay, you've given us a lot of great stuff already, but for our action takers who are listening, bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted, steps people can take to be it till they see it. What do you have for us?Kristin Mallon 33:48  So my best advice is, whenever in doubt, follow your highest excitement in any given situation. It's a breadcrumb trail that kind of leads you to your biggest and best self. So follow your highest excitement to the best of your ability with no insistence or assumption on the outcome, and it always leads you to the best location, place, time for you.Lesley Logan 34:09  Oh my gosh, you're so cool. Kristin Mallon 34:14  Yeah, you too.Lesley Logan 34:15  Well, thank you, but, yeah, like, what a great tip. That's so fun, because most people say, like, follow your gut. And I've got these people going my gut's off something's wrong. But highest excitement, oh. Kristin Mallon 34:28  It's easy to do, because even if you think about it, you're like, and as soon as we get off this call, right, there's going to be a whole bunch of things you could do. You could check your email, you could take your dog for a walk, you could stretch, you could do Pilates. But if you just tune into like, which one is most exciting, more than any of the others. It'll lead you down a really thrilling and rewarding path.Lesley Logan 34:47  Oh yes, yes, it will, oh yeah, the doctor has ordered that I have to follow my highest excitement. I'm going to do that as soon as I hang up. Y'all please, if you, if this at all has you intrigued, contact FemGevity. It's really nice to have doctors who actually want to look at things and look at patterns, and, you know, don't want to just tell you, it's all good, yep, that problem. I don't know. It's really nice if someone listened to you, and I will just shout out, I was traveling for almost a month, and I got an email from your team going okay, you have to do your call. And I'm like, oh, my God, a doctor that wants me to come for my appointment. They not that other doctors don't. I'm sure I have doctors listening, but you can wait in the waiting room for 45 minutes. You guys make sure. Made sure I made my call, and I'm so glad I did, because I needed that call, and it's just really nice to have someone to look out for my optimal health. So thank you so much for all you do at FemGevity. Lesley Logan 35:40  You guys, how are you going to use these tips in your life? Make sure you tag FemGevity. Tag the Be It Pod. And share this with a girlfriend who, like is frustrated with their health and they're feeling stuck and feeling going in circles. You know, it's kind of nice to be reminded to not give up on yourself. So thank you, Kristin, for that. And until next time everyone, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 35:59  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Just the other day in my University clinic, in one single morning, I had 3 separate patients with three very interesting histories; these became the basis of this episode. It's amazing what's out there in daily practice! so, we will dive into these three main questions which arose from these three patient encounters: 1. What single test is recommended before initiation of combination birth control pills? And if this is recommended, how do online pharmacies prescribe prescription birth control? 2. Does PCOS cause other hormone (Prolactin? HCG?) disturbances? And 3., Is treatment of acne within the wheelhouse of women's healthcare providers? We've got lots to cover in this episode…so let's get started, NOW.

I've been a listener since day one. The Paleo Solution was a real eye opener in regard to noticeably feeling different after eating “clean”. I'm turning 40 next year and thought it would be a good idea to get a snap shot of where my Hormone levels are. I like to think I do a good job of being cognizant of eating well, sleeping, and training. My recent hormone bloodwork: LH 4.2 FSH 2.9 Testosterone 724 Prolactin 24.5 Need I be alarmed about my prolactin? From what I understand it can indicate a serious problem or just be due to endurance training. Over the past 2 years I've been running a lot. I trained for and completed a 50 mile Ultra Marathon and a Marathon. As of late I am lifting (squats 2x a week deads 1x a week). My running mileage is low comparatively to a few months ago. Some pull ups and push ups every day. Besides just being fatigued from training at times I feel and think I perform pretty well. All though I don't notice it work is a stressor and I'm certain that the shift work I do isn't helpful. I plan to follow up about my blood work. Should I be asking for a thyroid blood work? Is it dumb to just attribute the high prolactin to endurance training and low carb eating?   Omega 3's Amy writes: To omega or not to omega? That is the question. Kresser is going to try & sell me some tomorrow. Barry Sears says they're the answer to whatever ails you. But Masterjohn says they're basically poison, and we need more arachadonic acid, in fact. In the last podcast of yours I heard, you mentioned them briefly. What are you doing about them lately? (Feel free to use this for a podcast question if you like :) )   Alternatives to Phenibut for Mood/Well Being (if necessary) Matt says: I currently average 1 gram of phenibut a day to lift my mood & prevent anxiety and have played with periods of abstaining for 1+ months. I find only a little withdrawal symptoms so its not untenable however my baseline mood is not nearly as social and happy as I am with the small to moderate phenibut usage. My question to you both is do you see a problem with it as most of the "research" out there is N=1 examples of people abusing and experience rebound anxiety. Are there other anxiolytics like ashwaganda? others? I should try and what are good sources as I am reluctant to grab off a random amazon wholesaler. For context my sleep is dialed in at 7-8 hrs per night, daily 10 min meditation, yoga and fitness, and eat a paleo (+rice) diet.   Sponsor: The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by our electrolyte company, LMNT.

Read more hereRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, I discuss Methyl​enedioxy​methamphetamine (MDMA), which is also commonly known as “ecstasy” or “molly,” including how it works in the brain to cause short- and long- term-shifts in emotional processing and its clinical applications for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), alcohol and other substance-use addictions. I discuss the neuronal mechanisms for how MDMA elevates mood, empathy, motivation, social engagement, and empathy, and reduces “threat detection” and how these effects can synergistically support talk therapy. I also explain the ongoing debate about the potential neurotoxicity of MDMA, myths about the origins and treatments for post-MDMA “crash,” the evolving legal landscape around MDMA use for clinical purposes, and I caution recreational users about the extremely dangerous additives (e.g., fentanyl) now commonly found in black market MDMA. This should be of interest to those curious about MDMA, neuropharmacology, the origins of emotional processing in the brain, empathy, PTDS, neuroplasticity, mental health and psychiatry.

Like a big-plumming hat drum major marching out a steady beat for the entire band, secularism's facts-values dichotomy has been drummed down into every facet of life. Sadly that includes too much of the Church. More, that dichotomy helps us understand why so many confessing Christians can give their hearts to Jesus but then keep him entirely out of their intellectual processing. They've agreed with drum-major-secularism that religion is subjective, private, and something to be kept out of the public square. But, is that even true? Who lives as though there is no meaning in life? Or, who lives as though science is their ultimate guide?

In this episode, I discuss Methyl​enedioxy​methamphetamine (MDMA), which is also commonly known as “ecstasy” or “molly,” including how it works in the brain to cause short- and long- term-shifts in emotional processing and its clinical applications for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), alcohol and other substance-use addictions.

Heat therapy, such as using a sauna or soaking in a hot bath, may significantly improve your slow wave sleep. My latest episode delves into the fascinating intersection between exercise and passive body heating and elucidates how high energy expenditure exercise and heat exposure share nuanced mechanisms in sleep regulation. Some key aspects explored include: The surprising role of the immune system in regulating sleep through somnogenic cytokines, immune signals like IL-1B and TNF-alpha, released in response to heat stress and exercise. The interconnected nature of thermoregulation and sleep, particularly in the brain, which highlights the importance of overlapping sleep regulation and heat loss processes. This involves warm-sensing preoptic area neurons in the preoptic area of the hypothalamus, a region known to play a crucial role in sleep regulation. The intricate, bidirectional relationship between growth hormone (GH) and slow-wave sleep (SWS). With the majority of daily GH secretion occurring during the initial phase of SWS, stimulants of SWS, such as heat exposure, can result in enhanced GH secretion, establishing a strong connection between GH and sleep regulation. The varying influence of heat on growth hormone, ranging from doubling after two 20-minute sauna sessions at 80°C, to increasing its circulation up to 16-fold after two one-hour sauna sessions at 80°C. These findings highlight the potential for heat therapy and exercise with a high rate of energy expenditure to modulate slow wave sleep through the interconnected nature of thermoregulation, immunity, exercise, and hormones. By understanding and harnessing these links, individuals can potentially enhance their sleep quality and overall health and well-being.

Hashimoto's disease is common and affects about five people in 100 in the United States.”(1)   Who will develop ? “autoimmune diseases, like certain liver conditions, B12 deficiency, gluten sensitivity” (1) Symptoms of Hashimoto disease include: (2) Weight gain Fatigue Hair loss   Low tolerance for cold temperatures Irregular menstrual periods Constipation Depression Joint pain the patient may develop a non-tender, symmetrical, and painless goiter. As inflammation continues, thyroid follicles are damaged and can rupture. (3) Heart disease: “Hypothyroidism lowers heart rate and cardiac output leading to increased risk of cardiovascular disease (Biondi et al. 2002; Biondi 2012), hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension (Klein and Ojamaa 2001; Toft and Boon 2000).

In this Episode of The Human Upgrade™...​ Dave talks to David Hinds of Brisbane, Australia, about gut issues and weight loss for men at mid-life. David's already biohacking, working out, and taking supplements he thinks are the right ones—yet the weight around his mid-section persists.This intervention looks at ways to tackle hard-to-budge love handles and extra mid-section weight with suggestions covering hormones, thyroid, sleep, SIBO, probiotics, supplements, inflammation, the pituitary gland, prolactin, and potassium. This discussion gets into libido and eyesight, too.David's in his early 50s and a dad to two teenagers. He started biohacking over three years ago when he discovered the Bulletproof Radio podcast (now called The Human Upgrade). He then read Dave's books, made some life changes, saw the results, and decided 150 years on this rock would be awesome! “So, I'm one-third of the way through life, and my aim is to be in the best physical and mental state possible for all of those years,” he says.Note: The "Interventions With Dave” recommendations are designed to help you upgrade yourself and your biology so you can perform better at everything you do. They are not, however, a substitute for advice or treatment by a trained medical professional that may be needed for specific health conditions, illness or injury.Find a full list of the Interventions With Dave episodes here.Listen to this episode on YouTube!WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

In this episode, I discuss cannabis (aka marijuana), including the biological mechanisms underlying its effects on the mind and body, its known medical applications, its impact on libido, creativity, hunger, hormones and more. I also cover the known adverse health consequences of chronic and even acute (one-time) use and the factors that determine if cannabis is helpful or harmful. Additionally, I detail how the various strains of cannabis: sativa, indica and hybrid strains, can produce such divergent effects depending on the strain type, THC-to-CBD ratio, total dosage, and frequency of use. I review why cannabis can impact speech patterns and one's propensity to develop anxiety/depression during and after use and, in some individuals, paranoia. As the legal landscape for cannabis is rapidly evolving, this episode should interest a wide audience, including former/current cannabis users, those in the medical, sports, law enforcement, and educational communities and, of course, children, teenagers, and parents.

My guest is Dr. Kyle Gillett, MD, a dual board-certified physician in family medicine and obesity medicine and an expert in optimizing hormone levels to improve overall health and well-being in both men and women. We discuss how to improve hormones using behavioral, nutritional, and exercise-based tools and safely and rationally approach supplementation and hormone therapies. We discuss testosterone and estrogen and how those hormones relate to fertility, mood, aging, relationships, disease pathologies, thyroid hormone, growth hormone, prolactin, dopamine and peptides that impact physical and mental health and vitality across the lifespan. The episode is rich with scientific mechanisms and tools for people to consider.
