Podcasts about stress hormones

Have you ever watched someone you care about repeatedly return to a relationship that's clearly hurting them, despite all logic and reason? Or found yourself unable to break free from a partner who alternates between cruel indifference and intoxicating affection? Tony Overbay, LMFT, comprehensively examines all of the factors at play in hopes of shining a light on understanding and ultimately healing from one of psychology's most misunderstood phenomena: trauma bonding. Tony explains how the same mechanisms that kept B.F. Skinner's rats frantically pressing a lever for unpredictable rewards are at work in toxic relationships. He explains the biological "amygdala hijack" that literally shuts down one's ability to think rationally when anxiety strikes and why well-meaning advice like "just don't worry about it" actually makes things worse through psychological reactance. This comprehensive episode covers: The neurological science behind trauma bonding and why it creates addiction-like withdrawal symptoms How childhood experiences shape our relationship with emotions and set us up for unhealthy patterns Why telling someone "don't think about it" guarantees they'll think about it more The critical difference between guilt ("I did something bad") and shame ("I am bad") Practical ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) techniques like expansion and mindfulness The powerful Buddhist salt and water metaphor for managing emotional pain Why no one—not even identical twins—experiences the world exactly as you do How to break the cycle of seeking external validation that keeps you trapped Whether you're personally experiencing a trauma bond, supporting someone who is, or simply want to understand why people stay in painful relationships, this episode provides compassionate insight and practical tools for healing. Tony's conversational style makes complex psychological concepts accessible while offering hope that with time, understanding, and the right support, you can reclaim your emotional autonomy and build healthier connections. 00:00 Introduction: The Impact of 'Say Anything' 01:21 Setting the Stage: Understanding Relationship Dynamics 01:50 Who This Episode is For 03:10 Introduction to Trauma Bonding 04:03 Welcome to the Virtual Couch 04:35 Engage with Us: Social Media and Upcoming Events 07:04 The Concept of Trauma Bonding 16:51 The Science Behind Trauma Bonding 21:25 Understanding the Amygdala Hijack 21:49 The Impact of Stress Hormones on the Brain 23:03 The Cycle of Trauma Bonding 24:21 The Ineffectiveness of Well-Meaning Advice 24:59 Psychological Reactance and the White Bear Effect 26:24 Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) 28:18 The Concept of Expansion 30:05 Mindfulness and Changing Your Relationship with Thoughts 32:27 Guilt vs. Shame 34:11 Healing from Trauma Bonds 36:45 The Importance of Self-Validation 43:43 Seeking Support and Practicing Mindfulness

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin details the impact of chronic stress on the brain, explaining how stress can lead to cognitive decline, weakened memory, impaired focus, and increased emotional reactivity. Leyla highlights the critical roles played by the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and amygdala in stress responses. Furthermore, she explores dietary choices that can help mitigate these negative effects, emphasizing foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and magnesium, while cautioning against sugar, refined carbs, and excessive caffeine or alcohol consumption. Leyla advises on the importance of balanced nutrition in fostering brain resilience and reversing stress-induced damage.

Elizabeth Blackburn, Ph.D., examines the relationship between telomeres, cellular aging, and metabolic health, highlighting how telomere regulation differs between insulin-sensitive and insulin-resistant individuals. She discusses the effects of environmental factors—like glucose levels, stress hormones, and drugs—on telomere maintenance, which can disrupt cellular coordination and contribute to age-related diseases. Blackburn also shares insights from studies on hibernating lemurs, indicating that while their telomere health remains stable during metabolic slowdowns, it declines upon reactivation. Ultimately, she suggests that telomere maintenance could serve as a valuable biomarker for early signs of metabolic dysfunction, informing strategies for long-term health and resilience.

She discusses the effects of environmental factors—like glucose levels, stress hormones, and drugs—on telomere maintenance, which can disrupt cellular coordination and contribute to age-related diseases. Blackburn also shares insights from studies on hibernating lemurs, indicating that while their telomere health remains stable during metabolic slowdowns, it declines upon reactivation. Ultimately, she suggests that telomere maintenance could serve as a valuable biomarker for early signs of metabolic dysfunction, informing strategies for long-term health and resilience.

Have you shied away from lifting weights because you don't want to “bulk up?” Have you found a workout you like and keep doing it over and over? Are you intrigued or confused by fitness recommendations you see online? This episode will answer your questions and debunk fitness myths! This week, Jenn welcomes Sarah Thomas, host of Burn Fat and Feast. Together, they dive into topics like belly fat, exercise, cardio fitness, weight lifting, and overall wellness, with Sarah busting common myths surrounding these areas. Sarah shares her story and the inspiration behind starting Burn Fat and Feast, explaining why weight training is essential and how lifting heavier weights can be beneficial. Plus, they discuss the importance of moving our bodies, even if it's just for a couple of minutes a day. Tune in to learn more about incorporating strength training into your day, why cardio is overrated for changing body composition, and more. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: [3:45] Jenn shares what members are getting this week[5:32] Sarah shares her story of being an overweight child to an anorexic teen to being a healthy and happy adult[9:36] Cardio is for heart health[14:06] The importance of strength and resistance training[17:08] Why we should prioritize lifting heavier weights and repeating the same exercises[19:27] What progressive overload is, what it isn't and all about super setting[26:04] Why you can spot train muscle, but can't spot reduce fat[28:34] Sarah discusses menopause and belly fat [30:38] Balancing holiday eating with your wellness goals and how fitness “fits”[34:07] How do you stay fit during a time crunch?KEY TAKEAWAYS: Walking is amazing for cardiovascular health. It is great for our heart health. We need it. That doesn't mean all of our workouts need to be straight cardio. You can have your heart rate elevated by weightlifting, which all women should be doing. Starting in your late twenties, you lose muscle mass at 1-2% per year, leading to a loss of 15-20% by your forties if you don't engage in regular strength training. This condition, known as sarcopenia, accelerates the aging process. Prioritizing building muscle helps maintain strength and mobility and supports healthier aging overall.For effective strength training, prioritize lifting weights that feel challenging by the last few reps or seconds of an exercise. Avoid sticking with outdated weight limits; choose weights that push your muscles to grow and stay strong over time.You can strengthen muscles through exercises like sit-ups, but you cannot spot reduce fat in specific areas like the belly. Fat loss happens throughout the body and is influenced by your overall metabolism and hormonal changes. To manage body composition effectively, focus on consistent movement, balanced nutrition, and prioritize stress management and sleep, particularly during perimenopause.QUOTES: [6:17] “I won't say that I did everything right from there. I turned to over-exercising for many, many years. I would probably say over a decade of over-exercising after that. So, I've done everything wrong before doing anything right. Along the way, I wanted to know more about our bodies, what makes us work specifically as women, and how our bodies function.” -  Sarah Thomas[9:36] “Cardio, in general, is great for our heart health. So we have, for some reason, turned cardio into ‘this is what's going to change your body.' It was never researched or meant to change our body composition. We have somehow morphed it into something it wasn't created to do.” - Sarah Thomas“As we age, that intense cardio is registering to the body as a stressor, on top of all the stress we already have.” - Jenn Trepeck[15:00] “I always say weightlifting is queen at this stage of your life. I mean, really! You know, I always say, we talk to perimenopausal women, but if you're in your twenties and your early thirties, pay attention, start doing it now. It is the best approach. I wish I had someone to tell me this in my late twenties and early thirties. So even if you're not here yet and you're listening. Do this now, do this now, because having muscle mass is what we need as we get older.” - Sarah Thomas[34:56]  “I would challenge you by saying, I bet you have five minutes after lunch to do something. I bet you could get up from your desk for five or 10 minutes and do something versus scrolling. Maybe you could still scroll social media and move your body. Maybe you can just get on the treadmill and keep doing that. But I would challenge you to say, if you have five minutes, if you have 10 minutes, you can still get up and move your body.” - Sarah Thomas[35:19] “There are a lot of magical things that can happen when you get up and move after you eat. So, 30 minutes to an hour after you eat, it gives that glucose spike when you eat something, somewhere to go. And so it will decrease that insulin response, which will level out, so I'm getting kind of sciencey, but it will level out the glucose response, which we don't want the big spikes.” - Sarah Thomas[37:41] “If you're like, I just don't have time, start there. Just get up two or three times throughout your day. Walk around, manage your stress and sleep well.” Sarah ThomasRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramGUEST RESOURCES:Burn Fat and Feast - WebsiteBurn Fat and Feast - InstagramBurn Fat and Feast - FacebookBurn Fat and Feast - TikTokSarah Thomas - PinterestSarah Thomas - LinkedInBurn Fat and Feast Podcast feat.

Have you tried every diet under the sun to lose weight or stop overeating, and end up at the bottom of the ice cream pint before you realize what happened? You haven't failed, our brains are literally wired this way. But we can rewire our brain's “circuits” with a simple method called, Emotional Brain Training. This week, Jenn is joined by Dr. Laurel Mellin to discuss Emotional Brain Training (EBT) and how it works to manage your under or over eating. Dr. Laurel starts the episode by sharing her experience with obesity, and how she overcame it with her EBT technique. She explains the science behind our tendency to over or under eat, the science behind EBT, the 4 circuits of the brain, and how someone can use EBT to change their life. Dr. Laurel gives a great deep dive into how we can be in control of our food, body, love and protection circuits so that we can live a life filled with more joy! Tune in to learn more! The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: [2:57] Jenn shares what members are getting this week![5:45] Dr. Laurel shares her story about turning to food for comfort.[8:54] What are the chemicals in the body that drive over and under eating? [11:06] How do these chemicals work together in a state of stress?[17:19] Dr. Mellin discusses the three different stress responses and how we get stuck. [21:43] What is Emotional Brain Training (EBT) and where do we start?[27:11] How to rewire your eating habits. [29:18] What happens to the eight chemicals after EBT?[32:06] Why it can be hard to lose weight after you have healed your food circuit. [38:15] Dr. Mellin shares about the one year program people tend to stick to for rewiring their brain circuits. [40:05] What does the process look like throughout the year? [41:00] Dr. Mellin answers rapid-fire off topic questions. KEY TAKEAWAYS: There are four circuits in our brain: the food circuit, love circuit, body circuit, and protection circuit. Each circuit plays an important role in our bodies and how they impact us is dependent on how they are ‘wired'.The circuits in our emotional brain are what can make or break our lives. They get encoded there through no fault of your own. If you want freedom, you must rewire these circuits. When you rewire your brain, you are more likely to experience, love, joy, and be able to face life head on.QUOTES: [3:52] “We have to stop focusing on the food. The food is the tail end of a fight or flight circuit that's spewing chemicals that make you want to eat. Turn off that circuit and those chemicals won't arrive, but as long as you're focusing yourself and evaluating yourself and punishing yourself for what you ate, you're not going to have the intentional control in your brain to focus on rewiring that circuit so you get lasting freedom.” - Dr. Mellin [14:59] “What happens is all eight of those chemicals collude to make it virtually impossible for you not to overeat, feel bad inside, and gain weight. It's all biochemical, and it's all affected by one thing, the stress chemicals in your body.” - Dr. Mellin[32:37] “I thought, I've got to go on a diet, and I said no, I'm not going to. I'm going to find my own natural weight. I'm not going to judge my body no matter what size it is. I'm going to eat when I'm hungry, stop when I'm dissatisfied, and use the EBT tool so I can do that. And what happened is food became a non-issue.” - Dr. Mellin"You can rewire your brain for health, health in mind and in body." - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramGUEST RESOURCES:The EBT website for the programLatest Book 1-2-3 JOY EBT Facebook GroupDr. Laurel Mellin's InstagramDr. Laurel Mellin's LinkedInBIO:Dr. Mellin is a health psychologist, New York Times Bestselling author, and founder of emotional brain training, a neuroscientific program for rewiring the brain out of stress overload and into states of joy and optimal health.

Kirk Parsley completed SEAL training at the age of 19 and served as a 60-gunner on SEAL Team Five in Coronado, California. He left the SEAL community in 1994 to pursue a college education. Later, he re-entered the US Navy to attend the military's medical school in Bethesda, Maryland, where he was commissioned as a Navy Officer in 2000.After completing medical school, internship, and residency, Kirk returned to the SEAL teams as the physician for the West Coast SEAL teams. Kirk was tasked with helping the world's most elite warriors optimize and maintain their performance after eight years of sustained combat. It was during this period that he noticed a significant gap between "healthcare" and true "health."Kirk was compelled to delve into extensive alternative medical literature, synthesizing and applying it effectively and practically to ensure the SEALs could perform at their peak 365 days a year. Performance and fitness are related components of a SEAL's ability, but they are not synonymous.Due to the limitations and restrictions of medical interventions available in austere environments with limited medical support, Kirk had to develop plans that relied minimally on pharmaceuticals, supplements, or gadgets. His unparalleled success led him to become a sought-after medical human performance expert, not only for Navy SEALs but also for various military special forces commands. He parlayed this experience into private consulting for professional sports teams, international corporations, law enforcement, first responders, the Department of Justice, entrepreneurs, and executives.Dr. Parsley has collaborated with numerous elite performers, achieving remarkable results in optimizing their physical, cognitive, and emotional performance. His philosophy is straightforward: our bodies are built on a 100,000+ year-old model, and we perform best by emulating the lifestyle we evolved to live as closely as possible, striving to attain the health metrics of our 25-year-old selves. Kirk firmly believes that 80% of health is derived from focusing on Sleep, Nutrition, Exercise, and Stress mitigation, with a strong emphasis on Sleep. Kirk is certified in Hyperbaric Medicine, Anti-Aging Medicine, Hormone Replacement Therapy, and is currently pursuing national certification in Psychedelic Medicine Therapies. He dedicates a significant portion of his time to advising non-profit organizations that support the SEAL community and providing healthcare guidance and treatment to veterans. Operating his practice and supplement business from Austin, Texas, Kirk is an avid outdoorsman and fitness enthusiast. When he's not working or working out, you can usually find him in nature, continuously enhancing his medical skills. SHOWNOTES:

There are many causes of hair loss and stress is a top contributor. Whether it's caused by an acute stressor, such as chemotherapy or going through a divorce, or chronic stressors, such as dieting, not sleeping, or taking certain medications, stress is most likely involved in the hair loss equation. Stress can trigger or worsen different types of hair loss. Telogen effluvium is a type of hair loss that involves rapid shedding of hair over a short period, usually a few months after a stressful event. It occurs when significant stress pushes hair follicles into a resting, or telogen, phase and can be caused by physical or emotional stressors, hormonal changes, or other factors. Menopause is stressful. Midlife women experience physiological symptoms that create a stressful life. Up to 70% of postmenopausal women will experience hair loss, thinning, widening of the part, or a receding hairline. While just managing your stress alone may not bring back your hair to where you'd like it to be, it is important to have strategies that work for you.

This one is for the ladies out there….myself included.   Over the past few years, I have been on a health journey.    In 2015, I found strength training and really loved how my brain and body responded to weight lifting (more on that in this episode from the Re-Find miniseries of the podcast). Then, in 2018, I dove into nutrition and started paying attention to macro rations, portion sizes, and caloric deficits with the help of my friend Coach Erika at Sweat Inspire Sisterhood (hear from her in one of the very first episodes of the podcast).    But in the years since, with the Covid of it all, different seasons of business, and stressful life circumstances, I've found myself at my heaviest weight ever and carrying a LOT of it in my midsection.   I've been pretty vulnerable sharing about this journey on my Instagram Stories, and thankfully through the magic of social media I was able to connect with Bri Edwards, owner and integrative nutrition health coach at Healthy Foundations Dubuque.   Through her proven Mind Body Nutrition Method, Bri guides women to their healthiest and most vibrant selves.    Because she believes you don't have to continue looking for the next right diet.   You don't have to continue looking for the next right fitness plan.   You don't need to push harder.    You don't need to have greater self control.    You just need to unlearn and relearn the truths about your body as a woman, nutrition and how you can utilize both to transform your life.   In this episode with Bri, you'll learn simple steps to set you up for success each day, ways to manage your stress levels through the foods you're eating, and how to listen to your body in order to understand what you need most.   This is an episode every woman needs to hear.

In this episode of The Metabolic Classroom, Dr. Bikman begins by emphasizing the critical role of insulin in regulating the body's use of fuel, and influencing whether nutrients are stored or burned.He highlights that food is a primary driver of insulin levels, but other factors like stress and sleep deprivation significantly impact insulin resistance.Stress, often exacerbated by poor sleep hygiene, leads to elevated levels of cortisol and epinephrine, which in turn increase blood glucose levels. Ben explains that going to bed on a full stomach can worsen sleep quality, further contributing to insulin resistance.Dr. Bikman discusses a study showing that restricting sleep to five hours per night for a week resulted in significant increases in cortisol and epinephrine, along with a notable decrease in insulin sensitivity. This chronic elevation of stress hormones due to poor sleep disrupts the natural circadian rhythm, causing a constant high level of cortisol, which not only hampers insulin function but also damages muscle, bone, and skin by promoting the breakdown of proteins for glucose production.Dr. Bikman advises improving sleep hygiene, such as reducing evening snacking and dimming lights, rather than relying on stimulants like caffeine, which can exacerbate cortisol levels and insulin resistance.00:57 - Impact of Stress on Insulin Resistance01:59 - Effect of Evening Eating on Sleep Quality02:59 - Study on Sleep Restriction and Insulin Sensitivity04:10 - Stress Hormones and Sleep Deprivation07:53 - Circadian Rhythm Disruption08:54 - Cortisol's Broader Effects10:45 - Advice on Improving Sleep HygieneStudies referenced in this episode:https://diabetesjournals.org/diabetes/article/59/9/2126/14525/Sleep-Restriction-for-1-Week-Reduces-Insulin https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20371664/ #InsulinResistance #MetabolicHealth #DrBenBikman #Nutrition #Health #SleepDeprivation #StressManagement #Hormones #Cortisol #HealthyEating #SleepHygiene #InsulinSensitivity #Glucose #CircadianRhythm #KetogenicDiet #DiabetesPrevention #HealthTips #Wellness #Caffeine #HealthyLifestylehttps://www.insuliniq.com Hosted on Acast.

For personalized guidance, I'm offering podcast listeners a free 20-minute Thriving Mama Glow Assessment Call. We'll evaluate your situation and, even if I'm not the right fit for you, I'll provide useful resources and support to help you on your journey.Welcome to The Thriving Mama podcast, where we aim to help you not just survive, but thrive in motherhood. In this episode, host Dr. Stephanie Davis, shares her personal journey and experiences that led her to start this podcast. She delves into her own transformation from aspiring doctor to holistic healer and the pivotal moments that shaped her approach to health and wellness. She emphasizes the importance of self-care for moms and discusses the inspiration behind creating this podcast, to support and empower mothers worldwide. Join in as we explore all aspects of mom life and learn practical tips and insights to move towards thriving. If you're a mom seeking support and a like-minded community, this episode is just for you.Dr. Stephanie Davis, DC, MSc(c), IFMCP(c) is a functional medicine practitioner, subconscious and trauma therapist, researcher, speaker, and most importantly, a Mom. Like you, I want to be the best Mom I can be and that requires us to prioritize ourselves. I believe that we are all capable of having thriving lives if we focus on all aspects of health- physical, mental, and emotional. Over the last 18 years, I've helped thousands of women and children all over the world discover the roots of their symptoms and conditions, craft programs to solve their issues, and empower them with knowledge for the future. I found my way into functional medicine and trauma healing because of my own health challenges: severe childhood allergies, dysmenorrhea/PMS, hormonal migraines, Hashimoto's, biotoxin illness from mold/mycotoxins, Epstein-Barr virus, Lyme, and Bartonella, emotional trauma and recently perimenopause challenges. What I discovered on my own healing journey is that even though addressing my symptoms through functional medicine, nutrition, and lifestyle helped, it was the emotional and trauma healing on the subconscious level that moved the needle the most allowing me to thrive. It is this combination of subconscious emotional and trauma work combined with targeted nutrition and lifestyle change that brings transformation and allows the moms I work with to go from surviving to thriving in the Thriving Mama Program. I've trained with Institute for Functional Medicine, The Kalish Institute, Apex Energetics/Datis Kharazzian, HeartMath Institute, Ziva Meditation, Shetreat Certification, and Psychosomatic University among others.Key Topics Discussed:1.

In this episode, we review a fascinating research article shedding light on the interactions between cortisol, stress, and polycystic ovarian syndrome. From the adrenal glands to our coping mechanisms, we'll explore how environmental stressors intertwine with genetics to influence hormone dysregulation.The Stress Response Root CauseThe stress hormone cortisol and the metabolic factors such as insulin and body composition and a complicated relationship in the root causes. Discover these trigger hormonal imbalances, amplifying androgen production and exacerbating PCOS symptoms.While genetics play a role in PCOS, their impact on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis remains elusive. Yet, studies suggest a familial correlation in adrenal androgen excess. While intriguing scientifically, we focus on actionable strategies for holistic healing.Practical ApplicationsWhile medications may provide symptomatic relief, the cornerstone of effective PCOS management lies in lifestyle interventions. By integrating specific lifestyle interventions into daily routines, individuals with stress response root causes of PCOS can embark on a transformative journey towards hormonal harmony and vitality. Through informed choices and consistent efforts, they can cultivate a nurturing environment that fosters hormonal balance, resilience, and long-term wellness.By unraveling these complexities, we gain insight into personalized approaches to weight management and hormonal regulation, acknowledging that each woman's journey with PCOS is unique. Through targeted interventions and holistic lifestyle modifications, we aim to empower individuals to reclaim control over their hormonal health and well-being.You can take the quiz to discover your root cause hereThe full list of Resources & References Mentioned can be found on the Episode webpage at:https://nourishedtohealthy.com/88Let's continue the conversation on Instagram!

Want to try my nervous system nightcap?  For the last few months, I've been sipping this simple recipe about 30 minutes before I go to bed and it's been a game-changer in helping me get quality sleep and have more energy during the day. So, of course, I wanted to share it with you!In today's episode, I'll give you the recipe for my nervous system nightcap, and also break down the science behind it.  When our stress hormone cortisol is running on overdrive all day (and depleting our glycogen stores), it can wreak havoc on our sleep.

Angela talks to Dr Libby Weaver, about how her own beliefs about calorie restriction and intense exercise were challenged when she observed that some individuals were not losing body fat despite their efforts. This realisation led her to delve into the factors that influence the body's ability to burn or store fat. She highlights the role of the nervous system and stress hormones in this process, explaining how constantly elevated levels of adrenaline can impact digestion, fuel utilisation, and cravings for sweet foods KEY TAKEAWAYS The calorie equation is not the sole factor influencing body shape and size. Many people who restrict calories do not see significant changes in body fat or weight loss. The belief that intense exercise is necessary to maintain or achieve a certain body shape is ingrained in society, particularly among women. This mindset can lead to unhealthy habits and unrealistic expectations. Constantly elevated levels of adrenaline, primarily caused by caffeine and psychological stress, can have negative effects on the body. It can lead to compromised digestion, increased desire for sweet foods, and a shift in the body's preferred fuel source from fat to glucose. The stress response has three stages, with the first stage characterized by elevated adrenaline. This stage prepares the body for fight or flight and can create inflammatory compounds. BEST MOMENTS "We were taught that the calorie equation was the only thing that influenced body shape and size." "I ran like that because it was so ingrained in me, in my education that you had to exercise intensely to maintain the way that you are to basically be able to eat." "We really are the first generation of people to have constantly, relentlessly elevated levels of adrenaline and it changes our chemistry." "So many people start their biochemistry being told that glucose is their most effective fuel and they gradually start to lose the ability to use their body fat as fuel."
