Send us a textWhat if the very foundation of modern care—science alone—is the problem?You see the stats: mothers are drowning in postpartum depression, crippling anxiety, and mysterious autoimmune flare-ups. You're doing the screenings, you're following the standard protocols, but the lasting solutions are elusive. What if the very foundation of modern care—science alone—is the problem? Maranda dives into the six critical limitations of medical science that are actively harming mothers in the fourth trimester. This isn't anti-science; it's a call for a more honest, holistic postpartum health model. This episode exposes the six critical limitations of medical care actively harming the fourth trimester. We break down why relying on RCTs ignores millennia of successful traditional postpartum practices. Discover the Three Pillars of Knowledge for root-cause resolution in perinatal mental health and move beyond symptom managementCheck out the episode on the blog HERE: https://postpartumu.com/podcast/the-6-critical-blind-spots-of-science-that-are-harming-postpartum-moms-ep-242/Key time stamps: 04:15: Miranda's personal story: Dismissed with Zoloft, actually had thyroid dysfunction, gut infection, and severe nutrient deficiencies.09:05: The Three Pillars of Postpartum Knowledge: Science, Women's Stories, and Traditional Practices.11:47: Limitation #1: Science is money-driven and prioritizes patentable solutions over holistic postpartum practices.16:30: Limitation #3: Dismissing millennia of traditional care (like warm, cooked foods) as mere anecdotal evidence.21:20: Limitation #4: Doctors are taught pathology, not how the body actually heals, leading to a focus on pieces instead of the whole.26:38: Limitation #5: The male bias in research and leadership and why women were historically excluded from clinical trials.31:45: Limitation #6: Time lag in policy change—it takes 10-15 years for new evidence to become standard practice.34:23: Clinical Example: Client with "medication-resistant PPD" actually had Hashimoto's and severe B12/Ferritin deficiency.36:50: Call to Action: Believe your client, investigate beyond basic labs, and hold providers accountable for outdated care.40:17: Final thought: Science alone is not enough; we need all three pillars for comprehensive, root-cause postpartum support.

In this episode of the You Are Not Broken podcast, Dr. Kelly Casperson interviews Jennifer Lanoff, a board-certified women's health nurse practitioner and attorney. They discuss Jennifer's unique journey from law to healthcare, the importance of ethics in medical practice, and the need for informed consent in patient care. The conversation also touches on the role of hormones in women's health, the impact of social media on healthcare discussions, and the future of hormone therapy. Throughout the episode, they emphasize the importance of empowering patients with knowledge and fostering open communication between healthcare providers and patients. Takeaways Jennifer transitioned from law to healthcare to focus on patient care. Ethics in healthcare needs to be redefined to include the harm of inaction. Informed consent should involve thorough discussions, not just signatures. Patients are increasingly educated and should be empowered in their healthcare decisions. Hormone therapy can play a crucial role in women's health and should be discussed openly. Social media influences patient perceptions and can complicate doctor-patient relationships. The future of hormone therapy is promising, but access and education are key. Healthcare providers must navigate the complexities of patient education in a fast-paced environment. The importance of shared decision-making in patient care cannot be overstated. The conversation around menopause and hormone therapy is evolving, and more research is needed.

The longest government shutdown in U.S. history came to an end Wednesday. The bill signed by President Trump provides back pay for federal employees and funds some federal agencies until September 2026. What it doesn't do is extend subsidies for the Affordable Care Act, which are set to expire at the end of the year. Some can expect to see their insurance premiums rise to the point it's unaffordable to have health insurance. In the Loop sits down with Community Health CEO Stephanie Willding and UIC health policy professor Justin Markowski to hear how skyrocketing insurance premiums could impact the work of people providing healthcare.

In this episode of the You Are Not Broken podcast, Dr. Kelly Casperson speaks with Dr. Rachel Boyle, a sex therapist specializing in perimenopause and menopause. They explore the complexities of women's sexual health, the impact of hormonal changes, and the importance of communication in relationships. Dr. Boyle shares her journey into understanding perimenopause, the effectiveness of EMDR therapy for trauma, and the cultural pressures women face regarding their bodies and sexuality. The conversation emphasizes the need for qualified therapists and the significance of creating safe spaces for women to explore their desires and experiences. Takeaways Low libido can be a message rather than a problem. Healing trauma doesn't require reliving it, but releasing it. Perimenopause can last for many years, affecting women's health. EMDR therapy helps process traumatic memories effectively. Women often bear the emotional labor in relationships, leading to stress. Communication about sex is crucial for healthy relationships. Desire for sex can be influenced by hormonal changes and emotional safety. Cultural attitudes towards women's bodies impact their sexual health. Consensual non-monogamy requires clear communication and boundaries. Therapists should be trained in women's sexual health issues. https://www.rachelboyle.com/ To my fellow clinicians: listen to this podcast on ⁠⁠⁠Pinnacle for FREE to earn CME credit⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Take my Adult Sex Ed Master Class:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Interested in my sexual health and hormone clinic? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Waitlist is open⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Thanks to our sponsor ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Midi Women's Health⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Today, we're tackling a question that comes up often in peptide, weight loss, and nutrition clinics: why does one person see great results with semaglutide, while another responds better to tirzepatide—or even retatrutide? If you want to support what we do, head over to our Partners Page. You'll find some amazing brands we trust—and by checking them out, you're helping us keep the podcast going. https://pepties.com/partners/ All three peptides target the incretin system, but they act in slightly different ways—and those differences can dramatically affect outcomes. Let's start with the basics. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist. It mimics the gut hormone GLP-1, which increases insulin when blood sugar is high (to help lower blood sugar), suppresses glucagon (which also decreases blood sugar), and slows gastric emptying. It also enhances satiety—so you feel full longer and eat less. Tirzepatide is a dual agonist, acting on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. GIP—glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide—also helps with insulin secretion to lower blood sugar, increases fat metabolism, and may reduce some of the GI side effects seen with GLP-1 alone. Retatrutide, the newest in the lineup, is a triple agonist that targets GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors. Retatrutide lightly activates the glucagon receptor while strongly activating GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which help regulate blood sugar and boost insulin secretion. This keeps blood sugar stable—or even improves it. Beyond blood sugar, glucagon also ramps up metabolism and calorie burning. By gently engaging glucagon receptors, retatrutide can increase energy expenditure and support fat loss without triggering large blood sugar spikes. So how do you decide which one might work best? Let's walk through common clinical situations. Patients with Hypothyroidism Let's talk about hypothyroidism. People with hypothyroidism often have slower metabolism, making weight loss more difficult even with a balanced diet. Low thyroid hormone levels slow calorie burning and energy use, so weight gain can occur more easily. For these patients, semaglutide is a reliable starting point—it helps regulate appetite and caloric intake. If progress plateaus, tirzepatide or retatrutide may provide an edge by boosting energy expenditure and fat oxidation, essentially "jump-starting" a slower metabolism. Patients with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) What about patients with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)? Insulin resistance is common in PCOS, often leading to higher androgen levels (e.g., testosterone) and symptoms like irregular periods, acne, and excess hair growth. Hormonal changes also affect appetite-regulating hormones, increasing hunger and cravings. Both GLP-1 and dual agonists have proven effective in managing metabolic and reproductive aspects of PCOS. Typically, we start with semaglutide to improve weight, insulin sensitivity, androgen levels, and menstrual regularity. After a few months, if weight loss plateaus or cravings remain high, we may switch to tirzepatide. The added GIP activity enhances fat metabolism, insulin control, and may further support hormone regulation and ovulation. The key is starting with what's well-studied and tolerated, then stepping up if additional metabolic or reproductive support is needed. Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) The next medical condition I'd like to talk about is type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Weight gain in T2DM often stems from insulin resistance. Cells don't respond effectively to insulin, prompting the pancreas to relelase more. High insulin levels encourage fat storage, particularly around the abdomen, while elevated blood sugar can increase hunger and cravings. Some diabetes medications, like insulin or sulfonylureas (e.g., glipizide or glyburide), can also contribute to weight gain. All three drugs lower blood sugar and promote weight loss, but tirzepatide currently shows the strongest combined A1c reduction (average blood sugar over the past 2 to 3 months) and weight loss. GIP and GLP-1 work together to enhance insulin response more effectively than GLP-1 alone. Retatrutide is in phase 3 trials, with potential FDA approval as early as 2027. Its glucagon receptor activity may offer additional glucose regulation and energy expenditure benefits. Patients with >15% Weight Loss Goals Okay, let's talk about weight loss goals and how this ties into the decision process for choosing a weight loss medication. For those patients looking to lose more than 15% of their total body weight, tirzepatide or retatrutide are likely to deliver greater results. Clinical data show semaglutide can achieve up to 15% total weight loss while tirzepatide can achieve up to 22% and retatrutide up to 24%. That said, semaglutide remains a highly effective option for weight loss. However, if progress begins to plateau, transitioning to a dual or triple agonist may help restart weight loss and push past that plateau. Pre- and Postmenopausal Women What about peri- and postmenopausal patients? Hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause slow metabolism and can increase cravings. Declining estrogen promotes abdominal fat storage and affects appetite-regulating hormones. Semaglutide helps with appetite control and gradual fat loss, while tirzepatide's GIP activation can further support fat metabolism when estrogen levels drop. Patients with Heart Disease or High Cholesterol The last group of patients I'd like to discuss is patients with heart disease (e.g., heart failure, stroke, heart attack, or even atherosclerosis) or people with high cholesterol. Semaglutide has the strongest cardiovascular outcomes data, reducing major adverse cardiac events by 20% and improving LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and blood pressure. Tirzepatide shows promise for heart and lipid benefits, but those trials are still ongoing. For patients with prior heart attack, stroke, or severe coronary artery disease, semaglutide remains the safest evidence-backed starting point—unless intolerable side effects or weight loss resistance occur. Tolerability Now I want to switch gears a bit and talk about side effects and tolerablity of these peptides. Some patients experience stomach-related side effects like nausea, bloating, or acid reflux on semaglutide. Generally, tirzepatide tends to cause fewer GI side effects, likely due to GIP balancing GLP-1 activity in the gut. So patients struggling with nausea or other stomach-related side effects may find tirzepatide more tolerable. Just something to keep in mind. Individualizing Therapy Lastly, I want to highlight the importance of individualizing weight loss peptide treatments. There's no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to these therapies. Clinicians should carefully consider a patient's goals, medical history, current medications, and tolerance before choosing the most appropriate option. Setting realistic expectations from the start is essential. It's important to remember that everyone's body responds differently because of factors like hormones, genetics, metabolism, gut microbiome balance, and lifestyle habits. These differences influence how effectively a peptide therapy works and how well it's tolerated. That's why ongoing monitoring and follow-up are such an important part of the process. Providers track progress, adjust dosing when needed, and switch medications if weight loss plateaus or side effects occur. The goal isn't just to lose weight quickly—it's to create a safe, sustainable plan that supports long-term metabolic health and helps patients feel their best.

Five-Star Clinic: Lessons from High-End Restaurants In this episode, Doc Danny Matta unpacks what elite restaurants do differently—then maps those exact moves to cash-based PT. From the reservation experience to ambiance, “the menu,” service, and checkout, learn how details create premium value, command higher rates, and generate more referrals. Quick Ask Help us reach our mission of adding $1B in cash-based services to physical therapy: share this episode with a clinician friend or post it to your Instagram stories and tag @dannymattaPT so he can reshare! Episode Summary Reservation experience → Pre-visit touch: Don't rely on generic confirmations. Call/text with directions, parking, “what to expect,” and a 1–2 day pre-visit email from the actual provider. Ambiance → Your space: Design matters. Lighting, smell, layout, materials, music, branding—create an intentional feel your ideal patient loves (and wants to refer into). Menu → Productized services: Name and package outcomes (e.g., “Pain-Free Performance Plan,” “Athlete Optimization”). Present options with a clean pricing sheet and a confident recommendation. Service → Clinical excellence + standards: Providers are your brand. Hold the standard on punctuality, communication, dress, outcomes, and EQ. Coach up or move on. Checkout → Frictionless finish + surprise & delight: Card on file, painless renewals, small “day-one” gifts (e.g., mobility tools), and handwritten thank-you notes. Premium perception: Details separate you from commodity clinics, justify higher prices, improve hiring/retention, and grow word-of-mouth. Lessons & Takeaways Details are the brand: Senses and systems create perceived value before treatment starts. Curate the offer: Productize services and tie them to outcomes—not visit counts. Own the recommendation: Be definitive with prognosis and plan; don't talk patients out of yes. Invest in the room: Space design is a growth investment, not a cost center. Mindset & Motivation The standard is the standard: High-performing teams protect the bar—and A-players expect it. Experience > price: When the experience is elite, price sensitivity drops. Steal like an operator: Study elite brands (restaurants, retail, studios) and adapt their best ideas. Pro Tips for Owners Pre-visit provider email: 2 days before, introduce yourself, set expectations, share a clinic video. Design the senses: Lighting plan, signature scent, music policy, brand palette, signage. Pricing sheet = menu: Clean layout, outcome-named plans, clear primary recommendation. Frictionless billing: Card on file, pay-in-full or monthly plan, one-tap renewals. Wow moment: Day-one useful gift (e.g., mobility balls) bundled into care—don't nickel & dime. Notable Quotes “In world-class restaurants the details are the experience. Your clinic is no different.” “Your pricing sheet is your menu—curate it, name it, and recommend with confidence.” “Patients buy outcomes and experience, not minutes on a table.” Action Items Write a pre-visit SOP: admin call + provider intro email + directions/parking. Audit your space for lighting, scent, music, and signage—fix one item this week. Rename and package your top 2–3 offers into outcome-based plans. Implement card on file and simplify renewals. Buy day-one gifts for all new plans of care and add handwritten thank-you cards.

Many people discover they are autistic only after years of struggling with eating disorders. This episode explores how a late autism diagnosis can reshape recovery by offering new understanding, compassion, and practical tools that fit the neurodivergent brain. Understanding a Late Autism Diagnosis Receiving an autism diagnosis in adulthood can bring both clarity and grief. It helps explain lifelong struggles with sensory overload, food textures, or social expectations, while revealing how years of misdiagnosis delayed meaningful support. In recovery, recognizing autism can change everything by connecting eating patterns to sensory differences and masking rather than willpower or motivation. Masking, Sensory Needs, and Food Autistic masking often overlaps with eating disorder behaviors. Restricting food, eating “normally” in social settings, or following rigid meal plans can become ways to hide difference and avoid judgment. This chronic effort to appear typical creates exhaustion and disconnection from true needs. At the same time, sensory experiences around food are often intense. Taste, smell, temperature, and texture can feel overwhelming or unpredictable. Foods that others find pleasant may feel unsafe or even painful. Sustainable recovery begins when we make space for sensory preferences and allow eating to feel safe rather than forced. ARFID and Autism Overlap Avoidant or Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) frequently occurs alongside autism. This overlap reflects sensory sensitivities, fear of choking or nausea, and low appetite rather than body image concerns. Recognizing this link shifts the goal of recovery away from compliance and toward creating safety, autonomy, and predictability in eating. Intersectionality in Diagnosis and Recovery Autism and eating disorders cannot be separated from the realities of race, gender, body size, class, and sexuality. Marginalized people are less likely to be diagnosed early and more likely to experience bias in treatment. Fat, BIPOC, and queer autistic people are often labeled as resistant when their needs are simply misunderstood. A liberation-based approach to recovery asks how we can build care that honors the whole person. It challenges systems that pathologize difference and reframes healing as a process of reclaiming identity and dignity, not just changing eating behaviors. Case Example Dr. Marianne shares the story of a fat, queer woman of color who learned she was autistic in her late 30s after years of being told she was noncompliant in treatment. Providers dismissed her sensory distress and focused only on weight loss. She masked constantly, pretending to eat foods that overwhelmed her senses in order to appear cooperative. Her diagnosis transformed her recovery. She began to design meals that respected her sensory needs, sought affirming providers, and connected with other neurodivergent women of color. Once her care aligned with her full identity, shame gave way to self-trust, and recovery finally felt sustainable. Pathways Toward Neurodivergent-Affirming Recovery A late autism diagnosis does not make recovery harder, but it does require reframing what recovery means. Sensory-attuned approaches allow individuals to choose foods that feel safe rather than forcing exposure to distressing ones. Predictable meal routines and gentle flexibility can replace pressure to eat intuitively when interoception is limited. Executive functioning supports such as reminders, meal prep systems, and visual cues make daily nourishment possible. These tools are not crutches; they are accommodations. Recovery also involves boundary-setting and self-advocacy after years of masking needs. Finding autistic and intersectional community can turn isolation into belonging, making recovery not just about food but about identity and connection. Who This Episode Is For This episode is for autistic adults in recovery, clinicians learning to support neurodivergent clients, and anyone who has realized that standard eating disorder treatment does not fit. It also speaks to people exploring how autism, sensory processing, and identity intersect with food and body experiences.

Send us a textYour postpartum clients aren't just "busy"—they're breaking down. Here's the truth your assessments are missing: The invisible mental load is a chronic state of cognitive overload that's hijacking her body. This isn't a failure of willpower; it's a physiological response to chronic stress that causes everything from unexplained anxiety and low milk supply to pelvic pain and insomnia. Maranda reveals how this unacknowledged cognitive burden triggers the HPA axis, shuts down nervous system regulation, and creates a cascade of physical symptoms. Every postpartum provider—from lactation consultants to functional health experts—must recognize this root cause. Stop treating the symptoms (the fatigue, the rage, the anxiety) and start addressing the overload. Learn the red flags and the Postpartum Restoration Method framework to deliver the lasting solutions your clients desperately need.Check out the episode on the blog HERE: https://postpartumu.com/podcast/the-invisible-mental-load-why-mothers-are-breaking-down-ep-238/Key time stamps: 1:03 -  Defining The Invisible Mental Load & The Shocking Case of Low Milk Supply3:33 - The Physiology of Cognitive Overload: HPA Axis and Systemic Effects6:53 - Clinical Patterns Providers Miss: The Hyper-Vigilant Manager, Overwhelmed Perfectionist, and Depleted Default Parent9:37 - Pelvic Floor Tension & The Bonding "Disconnection"22:15 - The Red Flags and "Better Questions" for Assessment NEXT STEPS:
