Sadie's husband has started taking testosterone and he loves how he feels. The problem is that Sadie feels like he's different...and she doesn't like the change. What should she do?

What labs should women actually be asking for, and what do those numbers really tell you about your health? In this episode of Healthy As A Mother, Dr. Leah Gordon breaks down the key labs she believes women should understand, from blood sugar and fasting insulin to thyroid, iron, inflammation, reproductive hormones, vitamin D and more. She explains what these markers can reveal about metabolic health, fertility, energy, hormones, symptoms and overall health, and why looking at a single lab without the right context can sometimes miss the bigger picture.The conversation also dives into reproductive hormone testing, including estradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH, AMH, testosterone, SHBG and DHEA, with a major emphasis on understanding where you are in your menstrual cycle when certain labs are drawn. Leah and Morgan discuss why cycle tracking and understanding ovulation can give women important context about their own health, whether they are trying to conceive, trying to avoid pregnancy, navigating postpartum or breastfeeding, or approaching perimenopause.They also cover thyroid markers, ferritin and iron studies, hs-CRP and inflammation, cortisol, vitamin D, ANA, and the importance of considering a partner's semen analysis when trying to conceive. The episode ultimately comes back to one central idea: learning the basics of your own health can help you ask better questions, recognize when something deserves further investigation, and become more informed about what is happening in your body.00:00 Trailer + Introduction03:26 Understanding Women's Health Labs04:58 Why Testing Matters for Women's Health09:29 Blood Sugar, Insulin & Metabolic Health16:34 Thyroid Labs: TSH, T3, T4 & Antibodies23:18 Iron & Ferritin: What Women Should Know29:10 Inflammation & hs-CRP33:59 Why Preconception Lab Testing Matters38:57 Reproductive Hormones & Cycle Timing40:52 Estradiol: When to Test Estrogen42:17 Progesterone: When to Test It45:37 Cycle Tracking & Knowing When You Ovulate49:46 FSH & LH: What They Tell You54:42 AMH & Ovarian Reserve57:54 Testosterone, SHBG & DHEA61:14 Cortisol, Vitamin D & Stress62:38 ANA, Fertility & Partner Testing63:56 Understanding Your Labs & Advocating for Your HealthResources From This Episode:Dr. Leah's Free Fertility Lab Guide - https://drleahgordon.com/fertility-lab-guide-freebieDr. Leah's Free Fertility Masterclass - https://fertilitymasterclass.drleahgordon.com/Dr. Leah's Taking Back Fertility Program - https://takebackfertility.drleahgordon.com/Dr. Leah's Womanhood Wellness Membership - https://drleahgordon.com/joinHealthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond

Testosterone for women is everywhere right now. From social media and Facebook groups to conversations between friends, women are hearing that testosterone may be the missing piece for everything from low libido and fatigue to brain fog, muscle loss, and motivation.But what does the evidence actually tell us?In this episode of Midlife Revival, Dr. T answers five of the most common questions she hears about testosterone and menopause in her clinical practice.She breaks down what testosterone actually does in the female body, when testosterone therapy may be helpful, why a “low” testosterone level doesn't automatically mean you need treatment, and what women should know about dosing, monitoring, side effects, and long-term safety.The five questions Dr. T answers:What is testosterone, and what role does it play in women's health?What symptoms does testosterone actually help?If my testosterone level is low, does that mean I need testosterone?If I try testosterone, what's the safest way to use it—and what should I expect?What do we know (and not know) about the long-term use of testosterone in women?Along the way, Dr. T discusses testosterone for low sexual desire, the difference between physiologic and supraphysiologic dosing, topical testosterone vs. injections and pellets, potential side effects, and why she believes treatment should focus on the woman—not simply a lab value.The takeaway? Testosterone is a legitimate treatment, but that doesn't mean it's the answer for every midlife symptom or the right choice for every woman.Instead of asking, “Should I be taking testosterone?” Dr. T encourages women to start with a different question:“What are we trying to treat—and does testosterone make sense for me?”If you're in Metro Atlanta and want to have a personalized conversation about hormone therapy, testosterone, or your menopause care, schedule a consultation with Dr. T at Revival Women's Health.Follow Dr Taniqua Miller on Instagram @taniquamillermd and Revival Women's Health @joinrevival.Georgia listeners!

Cholesterol Beyond the Basics: ApoB, Lp(a), Stress, and Aged Garlic Extract for Cardiovascular Risk: Dr. Ronald Hoffman interviews clinical pharmacist and nutritionist Jim LaValle about cardiovascular risk factors beyond total cholesterol, emphasizing that blood tests measure lipoprotein particles and subfractions rather than cholesterol itself. They discuss limitations of relying on surrogate markers, the role of lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep, stress, glucose control), and advanced markers such as ApoB, Lp(a), oxidized LDL, and Lp-PLA2, noting that lowering Lp(a) or improving markers doesn't always improve outcomes. LaValle highlights ApoB as a key risk barometer, reviews evidence for aged garlic extract lowering ApoB, slowing coronary artery calcification, regressing vulnerable plaque, and improving vascular function, and supports combining supplements with appropriate medications. They address lean-mass hyper-responders on ketogenic diets, debate broad statin use in seniors, and cover stress/cortisol dysregulation, hormone effects, and appropriate use of GLP-1 drugs for weight and metabolic risk.

What does testosterone actually do—and what happens when you start taking it?? After several years on testosterone HRT, I have a LOT of insights to share. In this episode of my podcast, I'm sharing my entire experience with testosterone: why I started, what changed, what surprised me, the benefits and side effects, and everything I wish I'd known before I started. We get into what testosterone actually does in the body, total vs. free testosterone, SHBG, testing and dosing, pellets vs. injections, energy, mood, muscle, libido, acne, hair changes, PMDD and perimenopause—and why testosterone is still such a complicated and overlooked part of the conversation for women and AFAB people's health. I also talk about the parts that have been harder to quantify: the subjective and existential lessons testosterone has taught me about gender, sexuality, identity, capacity, and myself. This is my personal experience, not medical advice—but if you've ever wondered what testosterone actually does, what HRT can feel like, or why changing one hormone can affect so many seemingly unrelated things, this is the episode I wish I could have listened to before I started!

Testosterone has become one of the hottest—and most controversial—topics in menopause. Women are being told it could restore their libido, energy, motivation, muscle, mood, and even their mental clarity. Prescriptions are skyrocketing. Social media is buzzing. But before you decide that testosterone is the missing hormone you've been searching for, there's one important question: What does the science actually say?In this episode, we take a deep dive into what testosterone really does in the female body—and separate the evidence from the hype. You'll learn why testosterone therapy has one well-supported use in postmenopausal women, while many of its most popular promises—from fighting fatigue and brain fog to improving mood and muscle—are still surrounded by unanswered questions.But here's where the conversation gets even more interesting: your testosterone levels may not tell the whole story. Your thyroid could be involved. Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's can affect testosterone, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), libido, mood, fatigue, and brain fog—creating symptoms that can easily be mistaken for “low testosterone.” And surprisingly, research in postmenopausal women with Hashimoto's found something that challenges what many people assume about testosterone and an underactive thyroid.So, should you consider testosterone during menopause? And if you're struggling with low libido, exhaustion, diminished motivation, or brain fog, what should you investigate first? 

Can you actually extend your life without sacrificing your quality of life? Ethan sits down with Dr. Florence Comite, a pioneering physician in precision medicine and longevity, to explore what really drives healthy aging. They discuss metabolic health, genetics, hormones, biomarkers, muscle, diabetes, GLP-1 medications, and why individual health data matters more than one-size-fits-all advice. Ethan also shares his own journey of losing 300 pounds, navigating different diets, and learning how to maintain his weight. Dr. Comite explains why understanding your personal biology can help you make better decisions about your health and future.Subscribe to Ethan's newsletter:https://ethansuplee.substack.com/subscribeSHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 - What Does Longevity Really Mean?03:00 - Living Longer vs. Living Better06:00 - Why Diets Don't Work for Everyone09:00 - Genetics, Biomarkers and Small Habits12:00 - Women's Hormones and Menopause15:00 - Testosterone, Aging and Men's Health18:00 - Why GLP-1 Medications Matter21:00 - GLP-1s and the Future of Metabolic Health24:00 - Understanding Blood Sugar and A1C27:00 - Managing Type 1 Diabetes30:00 - The Limits of Modern Medicine33:00 - How Ethan Lost 300 Pounds36:00 - Weight Loss, Maintenance and Diet Breaks39:00 - Testosterone, Muscle and Five Key Biomarkers42:00 - When Dieting Goes Too Far45:00 - Should Everyone Take a GLP-1?48:00 - Exercise, Addiction and Finding Balance Hosted on Acast.

Everyone wants to know if you can build muscle and lose fat at the same time. But the more important question is how you actually program for it.Over the first two episodes of this series, Jeff and I built the case that recomp is real, covered who can do it, and broke down why women may be especially primed for it. Now it's time to get tactical.In this episode of the CHASING CLARITY HEALTH & FITNESS PODCAST, I'm joined again by Jeff Hoehn, host of the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast, to walk through the exact nutrition and energy-balance levers we pull with clients to actually drive body recomposition in the real world.

This episode focuses on why hair loss happens, how to identify the real cause, and what listeners can do to support healthier hair before considering a transplant. Anthony Hartcher speaks with Dr. Adriana Nicole Rosales, a family medicine physician with a background in Navy medicine and a private practice spanning wellness, aesthetics, and hair restoration. They discuss common medical and lifestyle drivers of shedding, including androgenetic alopecia, thyroid issues, nutritional deficiencies, stress, and rapid weight loss associated with GLP-1 medications.Key topicsDr. Adriana Nicole Rosales describes her path from family medicine and Navy service to private practice, wellness care, aesthetics, and hair restoration.Hair loss is not just cosmetic—it can cause anxiety, distress, and concerns about self-image.Androgenetic alopecia is discussed as a common cause: testosterone can be converted into DHT, which damages hair follicles over time.Other causes include autoimmune conditions, telogen effluvium, thyroid dysfunction, and postpartum shedding.GLP-1-related hair loss may be associated with rapid weight loss, insufficient protein intake, and the body's stress response.Lifestyle and environmental stressors, including smoking, alcohol, and some chemical exposures, may contribute to cellular and follicle stress.Identifying the underlying cause may involve a physical exam, lab work, a scalp biopsy, or referral to a specialist.Hair-health basics include adequate protein, a nutrient-rich diet, and addressing factors that may put stress on the body.Dr. Rosales discusses the limits of supplements such as biotin and collagen as standalone hair-regrowth solutions.She explains exosomes as cellular communication packets and discusses their use in hair-restoration protocols.Aim for adequate protein, especially when losing weight or using a GLP-1 medication.Avoid rapid weight loss without medical supervision.If hair shedding is sudden or diffuse, discuss possible underlying causes with a qualified clinician.Ask your clinician whether thyroid function or nutritional deficiencies should be evaluated.Protect your scalp from sun exposure, especially if you have thinning hair or a visible part.Seek support if stress is affecting your well-being or contributing to distress about hair loss.Timestamps00:00 — Welcome and why hair loss matters00:30 — Dr. Rosales's path from family medicine to hair restoration02:34 — Why she joined the Navy and what military medicine taught her04:22 — Life on an aircraft carrier and working with limited resources06:56 — Shifting the conversation to hair loss prevention and treatment07:55 — Common causes of hair loss09:01 — GLP-1 use, rapid weight loss, and delayed shedding10:27 — Postpartum shedding and thyroid dysfunction11:34 — Nutritional deficiencies, traction alopecia, and scalp infections12:55 — Why finding the right diagnosis matters13:25 — Testosterone, DHT, and follicle damage15:20 — Rapid weight loss versus other peptides18:28 — The body's stress response during rapid weight loss19:29 — Smoking, toxins, and cellular damage21:00 — The purpose of hair and what it can signal22:34 — Hair, keratin, and the body's toxin-removal systems23:29 — Sun protection and scalp health25:18 — Healthy eating and adequate protein27:21 — Biotin, collagen, and hair-regrowth evidence28:56 — Shampoos and topical products30:58 — What exosomes are and how they relate to hair regeneration34:11 — How exosomes may be administered35:48 — Cell phones, EMFs, and hair growth39:33 — Emotional stress and telogen effluvium41:31 — The cycle of stress and hair loss42:49 — How to contact Dr. RosalesGuest contact: Dr. Adriana Nicole Rosales shared pacificclinic.com and Pacific Clinic Bellevue's Instagram and Facebook accounts as ways to connect.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 9-24-2026: Dr. Dawn warns about a sophisticated phishing scam arriving by mail impersonating post-hack credit-monitoring services from Kroll—the tell being that clicking through prompts for the same personal information the fake letter claims was already breached. ABT-263, an experimental cancer drug that selectively kills senescent "zombie" cells by blocking their BCL-2 anti-apoptotic proteins, dramatically sped wound healing in aged mice (80% healed by day 24 versus 56% in controls) with no effect on young mice—opening potential applications for chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, and cosmetic use. Dr. Dawn explains why cooling dulls sweetness but enhances saltiness (via cold-activated epithelial sodium channels)—so under-salt hot dishes and don't judge saltiness while food is piping hot. Dr. Dawn walks through when to get stitches: bleeding that won't stop after 10-15 minutes of pressure, visible fat (yellow bubbles) or muscle, jagged edges that won't zipper together, wounds over joints, animal bites, and puncture wounds, and recommends bacitracin over petroleum jelly for initial dressing due to contamination in commonly-used jars. Researchers created a "spud cell"—a barely-living synthetic organism with just 36 genes (from E. coli, viruses, and jellyfish) that divides five times over 12-hour cycles and needs hand-feeding, potentially opening a path to made-to-order cells for cancer treatment, plastic degradation, and carbon capture. Rezdiffra, an analog of activated thyroid hormone T3 that binds only the beta receptor (avoiding cardiac alpha-receptor toxicity), treats metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, now affecting 25-40% of adults globally) by boosting fat breakdown and reversing liver fibrosis in patients where diet, exercise, GLP-1 drugs, and bariatric surgery haven't been enough. UK Biobank data from 355,000 people showed that drinking five or more cups of coffee daily was associated with 32% reduced cirrhosis risk and 47% reduced liver cancer risk over 13 years, along with lower liver fat, iron, fibrosis, and inflammation. Men's average testosterone has fallen 54% over the past half-century (steepening after 2000), largely driven by belly fat's aromatase enzyme converting testosterone to estrogen, with hormone-disrupting chemicals and microwaved plastics as additional suspects. Dr. Dawn revisits the 9/11 exposure legacy—28,000 survivors now receiving compensation for asbestos, benzene, and building-fire toxin exposures linked to breast and prostate cancer—and recommends aggressive fiber intake (aim for two large daily bowel movements) and far-infrared sauna sweating as accessible detoxification tools relevant now for those exposed to current fire-season smoke.

What actually affects your testosterone levels? How do you know if your testosterone is low, which blood tests matter, and what should you know before considering testosterone therapy?In this episode of the Authentic Longevity Podcast, Dr. Mark Sherwood and Dr. Michele Sherwood take a deeper look at testosterone, hormone decline, testing, therapy, male fertility, and the role of testosterone in women.They discuss why total testosterone is only one part of the picture, the importance of free testosterone, SHBG and estradiol, and how stress, cortisol and environmental factors can affect testosterone production.The conversation also covers testosterone administration, fertility concerns, alternatives to testosterone therapy, the risks of excessive testosterone use for bodybuilding, testosterone and women's health, supplements, and the importance of monitoring key blood markers during hormone therapy.Whether you're trying to understand your testosterone levels, considering hormone therapy, or simply want to better understand how testosterone fits into long-term health, this episode breaks down the key questions and considerations.Listen to the Authentic Longevity Podcast for more conversations with Dr. Mark and Dr. Michele Sherwood on hormones, longevity, functional medicine, metabolic health and strategies for living stronger, healthier and longer.This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for individualized medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

As routine testosterone screening gains national attention, Nelson Bennett Jr., MD, discusses the importance of symptom-based evaluation, repeat testing, identifying reversible causes of hypogonadism and counseling patients on fertility before treatment. He shares practical guidance for ensuring increased awareness translates into evidence-based, patient-centered healthcare.

On this episode, Dr. Sadaf welcomes back UCSF professor and sexual health expert Dr. Tami Rowen to break down everything you need to know about the complex science of testosterone therapy, progestogens, and hormone optimization in midlife women. Dr. Rowen shares her expertise to clearly explain the clinical evidence surrounding testosterone for low libido and mood. The doctors also discuss best practices when navigating hormone therapy after hormone-sensitive breast cancer. In addition to all of that, Dr. Sadaf and Dr. Rowen clear up the muddied waters on why perimenopausal mood symptoms are frequently misdiagnosed with SSRIs.Follow Dr. Rowen's work through UCSF, ISSWSH, and her Substack newsletter: https://drtamirowen.substack.com/Disclaimer: Anything discussed on the show should not be taken as official medical advice.

Menopause is changing your body, but the part nobody talks about isn't hot flashes. It's muscle.

What if the answers to hormone imbalances, infertility, poor sleep, or unexplained symptoms aren't found in your hormone levels alone, but in how your body processes them?In this episode of The DNA Talks Podcast, Dr. Krista Kostroman sits down with Dr. Jaclyn Smeaton, Chief Medical Officer at Precision Analytical, creators of the DUTCH Test, and a leading educator in reproductive endocrinology and fertility medicine. Together, they explore the evolution of hormone testing, the limitations of conventional diagnostics, and how combining genetics, hormone metabolite testing, and functional medicine is changing the future of personalized healthcare. Drawing from her own experience with primary amenorrhea as a teenager, Dr. Smeaton shares the journey that led her into women's health, fertility, and integrative medicine. She discusses how functional testing tools like the DUTCH Test provide a more complete picture of hormone production, metabolism, and detoxification, helping practitioners move beyond symptom management and uncover root causes. The conversation also dives into stress physiology, cortisol patterns, fertility optimization, menopause, genetic individuality, and the promise of AI-powered medicine. Along the way, Dr. Smeaton highlights a powerful truth: optimal health is rarely about choosing between conventional and integrative medicine. It's about choosing the right tool for the right patient at the right time.If you wish to learn more from Dr. Jaclyn Smeaton, you can do so through the following links:Instagram: @drjaclynsmeatonLinkedIn: Dr. Jaclyn SmeatonPrecision Analytical / DUTCH Test______________________________________________________Keep yourself up to date on The DNA Talks Podcast!

In this week's episode of The Armor Men's Health Show, Dr. Sandeep Mistry and Donna Lee are answering more of your listener questions—but FIRST…we need to talk about a rather LARGE potential guest.

What if everything you've been taught about “being healthy” is missing one critical ingredient—feeling good?In this fascinating episode of The Balanced, Beautiful & Abundant Show, Rebecca Whitman sits down with naturopathic doctor, researcher, and longevity expert Dr. Erica Oberg to uncover why deprivation, restriction, and endlessly tracking your health may actually be keeping you from the vitality you're working so hard to create.Drawing on more than 20 years in integrative and regenerative medicine, Dr. Oberg reveals the science behind Healthy Hedonism—the idea that pleasure isn't something you earn after you get healthy. It can actually be part of the prescription.From hormones, metabolism, brain health, and menopause to peptides, GLP-1s, sleep, stress, and longevity, this conversation challenges conventional wellness wisdom and offers a much more joyful way to age.

Your testosterone number matters at every age, but most men never learn what theirs should be. Mayo Clinic urologist Dr. Tobias Kohler explains why ~500 is the target, why 1,000 is already running hot, what 2,000+ does to the heart, and why a randomized trial found lifting without steroids beat steroids without lifting. Plus: the blood test that catches heart risk your cholesterol panel misses.Dr. Kohler returns for his second appearance (his first, on erections, testosterone and muscle mass, is one of the most-watched episodes in the show's history). This time: why men's longevity is roughly 50 years behind women's; the Princeton IV consensus he co-chaired, which treats ED as one of the strongest predictors of a future heart attack and points young men toward a coronary calcium scan; the 0–12 ceramide blood test that changes with your behavior; how to get a testosterone baseline that actually means something; what redlining to 2,000–3,000 does to the heart, the set point and the skin; Peyronie's disease, Viagra vs. Cialis, the pills-to-implant ladder, sexual rehab after prostate surgery, and a patient who got stronger with zero testosterone.About Dr. Tobias KohlerTobias S. Kohler, MD, MPH, is Professor of Urology at Mayo Clinic, a fellowship-trained andrologist with 25+ years of clinical and surgical experience and 250+ peer-reviewed publications. He co-chaired the Princeton IV Consensus Guidelines on ED and cardiovascular disease, co-founded the EROS penile implant registry, and co-edited Contemporary Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (2nd ed.).

The average man today is walking around with meaningfully less testosterone than his grandfather had at the same age — and the fix the military is reaching for may be aimed at the wrong target.Dr. Mark Gordon returns to Men Talking Mindfulness for his third appearance to unpack the quiet war on male hormones. He's a pioneer of hormone-and-brain medicine, Medical Director of the Warrior Angel Foundation, and featured in the documentary Quiet Explosions. This episode centers on a live policy moment: a Pentagon directive associated with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that would screen service members over 30 for low testosterone and offer TRT, with the goal of a more capable, resilient force. Dr. Gordon shares the good news underneath the headline — the goal is right, and the biology is fixable — while making a clinical case that simply injecting testosterone is the wrong target, because it shuts down the body's own ability to produce it. Jon and Will dig into what actually drives low T, why everyday ibuprofen may be quietly part of the problem, and the root-cause path that restores a man's own hormone engine.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:1.  Why the average man today carries far lower testosterone than his grandfather did — and what's driving the decline2.  The Pentagon's proposed directive (tied to Secretary Hegseth) to screen service members over 30 for low T and offer TRT — and Dr. Gordon's clinical case for a smarter target3.  How everyday NSAIDs like ibuprofen (“vitamin M”) can quietly interrupt the brain's signal to make testosterone — and how to work around it4.  Why blast and TBI exposure can leave blood testosterone looking “normal” while brain hormone production is devastated — and why an injection can't reach that5.  The root-cause approach that restores your own production — pulsed clomiphene, calming inflammation and cortisol — instead of shutting your system downMore about Dr. Mark Gordon:1.  Educational site: https://www.tbihelpnow.org2.  Store (10% first-time discount, funds veteran treatment): https://www.millenniumhealthstore.com3.  Neurosteroid hormone paper — available on his website and Instagram4.  Documentary: Quiet Explosions: Healing the Brain — featuring Dr. Gordon and the Warrior Angel Foundation5.  Book: Peptides for Health — available via millenniumhealthstore.com (00:00) - Cold open (01:18) - Welcome to Men Talking Mindfulness (01:27) - The 60-second version: why testosterone is falling (02:11) - Meet Dr. Mark Gordon (03:26) - One-breath grounding practice (04:04) - Hormones 101: what the endocrine system does (06:14) - What disrupts your hormones (10:15) - 'Vitamin M': the military's ibuprofen habit (10:58) - How ibuprofen shuts down the testosterone signal (12:02) - Selenium and Brazil nuts: reversing the damage (16:13) - The Pentagon's TRT directive - and Mark's objection (17:10) - What ten years of veteran data shows (19:43) - What an 'optimal' testosterone level really is (21:39) - Fertility, Clomid and dosing mistakes (24:32) - Case file: Quiet Explosions (27:38) - Hormones and psychedelic-assisted therapy (30:53) - The brain's own pharmacy (36:10) - Breaking the NSAID wall (38:22) - Brain injury, LH and reading the labs (42:34) - Inflammation, pain and peroxynitrite (44:20) - What a listener can do without a military-grade panel (47:31) - Reversing MS: Tim's story (50:50) - First steps for a new patient - and what it costs (53:59) - Closing thoughts and where to find Dr. Gordon Check out our Awareness-to-action Self Mastery COURSE & COMMUNITY:12 modules on attention, presence & performance.

Guest host Heidi Harris takes the mic on The Charlie James Show to engage with listeners on two main hot-button topics: military health directives and local political dynamics leading into the midterms. She opens a discussion around reports that the Pentagon is instituting mandatory testosterone testing for male service members over age 30 to address potential deficiencies and boost operational performance. Callers like Rick chime in with personal anecdotes about the mental clarity gained from testosterone therapy, while Heidi expresses concern over potential side effects and questions the necessity of implementing such health mandates across active-duty personnel. The conversation then pivots to voter Sentiment regarding the upcoming South Carolina midterms, specifically addressing deep frustrations with candidate choices like Darlene Graham. Multiple callers, including Ted, Joanna, and Wayne, express disillusionment with the Republican establishment and debate whether to vote along party lines, write in alternative candidates, or support third-party options. Heidi firmly advises against staying home or skipping the race, arguing that refusing to vote effectively hands a free victory to the opposing party. Throughout the hour, the dialogue highlights the tension between personal political principles and pragmatic party-line voting.

You say "steroids" and picture a baseball scandal, a jacked guy, a bad spray tan. But cortisol is a steroid. Estrogen is a steroid. The cream you put on poison ivy is a steroid. The word covering all of them is also covering testosterone therapy for women, and that collision is quietly costing women muscle and bone they don't have to lose.In this solo episode, prompted by a magazine interview on steroid use in women, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon breaks down what these molecules actually are, what they do inside a cell, and why the line between medicine and misuse has nothing to do with the word "steroid."Study and References:The Effects of Supraphysiologic Doses of Testosterone on Muscle Size and Strength in Normal Men (Bhasin et al., NEJM 1996) - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8637535/Testosterone Enhances Estradiol's Effects on Postmenopausal Bone Density and Sexuality (Davis et al., 1995) - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7616872/Global Consensus Position Statement on the Use of Testosterone Therapy for Women (2019) - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31498...ISSWSH Clinical Practice Guideline for the Use of Systemic Testosterone for HSDD in Women (2021) - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33814...The Global Epidemiology of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Use: A Meta-Analysis (Sagoe et al., 2014) - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24582...What Is the Prevalence of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Use Among Women?

On today's episode of The CIRS Group Podcast, Barbara shares a health update. She reports a smoother-than-expected recovery from an August 2025 L5-S1 PLIF spinal fusion, major symptom improvements after going gluten- and dairy-free, adding gut supplements, and tracking with stool testing. She began tick-borne treatment with a specialist using pulsed antibiotics plus biofilm support and albendazole, noting microbiome changes and a post-treatment drop in MSH while continuing low-dose binders and passing the VCS.  Ongoing issues include stubborn MARCoNS and sinus imbalance (multiple rinses/sprays, EDTA+silver side effects, considering ENT evaluation, sleep study, and possibly nebulized treatment). She discusses hormone testing (DUTCH/bloodwork), fibroids/adenomyosis management with oral progesterone, low-dose morning hydrocortisone, and starting testosterone cream. Barbara also covers difficult EMDR therapy attempts, learning shutdown vs fight/flight in Jacie's nervous system cohort, and supportive care like acupuncture and NUCCA chiropractic. In the next update, she'll cover upcoming labs, retesting results, actino cleaning, and possible iron infusions. She also adds a couple exciting personal life updates: getting married and adopting a puppy!

Ah, this was a great start to such an important episode! I literally did no planning AT ALL! I just wanted to know from Dr Jordan Emont, our guest on today's show, if there is a common question he gets asked by his patients in his clinic.And after getting such lovely personal insights into Jordan's life, we ended up having an evidence-based conversation about testosterone after cancer, especially for people navigating menopause after breast cancer.We dig into why access in the US is getting harder not easier and how clinicians think about balancing quality of life with safety when the data is still limited.This episode is so true to all the conversations we have on this podcast because it sits right in the middle of a real-world clinical grey area: patients want relief, oncologists want reassurance, and doctors are trying to make thoughtful decisions without perfect long-term trials.Jordan also shares how this topic is evolving in guidelines, why he thinks testosterone can help some people stay on aromatase inhibitors, and where caution still makes sense.Episode Highlights:00:00 Intro09:57 Challenges in Women's Health Narratives13:37 Differences in hormone treatments17:25 Aromatase inhibitors in breast cancer18:55 Discussing testosterone for cancer survivors23:15 Testosterone use and sexual health25:54 Discussing health and energy levels30:10 Long-term safety of testosterone use32:10 Checking testosterone levels timing35:58 Balancing safety and quality of life40:54 Testosterone's role in breast cancer44:39 Discussing hormone therapy benefits48:47 Testosterone use after prostate cancerHere are Dr Emont's links:Here is his Substack about testosterone this which he's made free to access: https://drjordanemont.substack.com/p/testosterone-after-breast-cancerHere's Dr Sarah Glynne's paper on testosterone to treat menopausal symptoms: https://journals.lww.com/menopausejournal/fulltext/10.1097/gme.0000000000002777~use-of-transdermal-testosterone-to-treat-menopausal-symptomsConnect with us:For more information and resources, visit our website: www.menopauseandcancer.org Follow us on Instagram @menopause_and_cancerFind us on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@NavigatingMenopauseAfterCancer Join my NEW blog ‘Still Becoming' on Substack: https://substack.com/@danibinnington?...Buy my book ‘Navigating Menopause After Cancer': https://amzn.eu/d/07dUoYBbJoin our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathub

Could low testosterone be affecting your energy, mood, strength, or sex drive? Testosterone is often thought of as a male hormone, but women rely on it too. In this episode, Bryana Burken, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison with Physicians Preference Pharmacy, explains the important role testosterone plays in women's health and the symptoms that may indicate testosterone levels are no longer optimized. Bryana discusses why evaluating testosterone deficiency requires more than simply looking at a lab number. Symptoms, bloodwork, hormone availability, and the individual clinical picture all matter. She also explains how sublingual bioidentical testosterone is absorbed, why physiological dosing is important, and how properly tailored therapy is designed to restore testosterone levels without causing unwanted side effects. Learn why testosterone therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach and how working with a knowledgeable physician and pharmacy can help women find the appropriate dose and method of treatment for their individual needs.

Most people assume becoming a parent is an emotional change, but a measurable part of it is hormonal, and it happens in fathers too. I sat down with Aldrich Chan, Psy.D., to talk about what changes in the brain, why the split we draw between mind and body does not hold up, and what decides whether stress reads as manageable or overwhelming when the hormones are identical either way.Want ad-free episodes?

You have probably been told that testosterone is a male hormone. Women produce more of it than estrogen, and for many of us it is the first hormone to go, sometimes reading zero five years before menopause while periods are still regular. Dr. Susan Hardwick-Smith and I get into what that costs you in muscle and bone, why there are thirty-one approved testosterone products for men and none for women, and what the number on your own lab report is measuring.Want ad-free episodes?

I sit down with Dr. Trish Leigh, a cognitive neuroscientist and neurofeedback clinician, to unpack what pornography and screen compulsions can do to the brain, from dopamine dependency and hypersexuality to sexual dysfunction and impaired self-regulation. We explore why so many men struggle to break the habit, how pornography can become a tool for managing stress and boredom, and why simply trying to quit often isn't enough.Dr. Leigh explains how the brain can be rewired through repetition, healthier sources of dopamine, intentional routines, and what she calls the “instant rewire.” We also talk about shame, relationships, parenting, ADHD symptoms, and how rebuilding a healthier brain can help men create the life and relationships they actually want.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:01 - What Happens in the Brain Before You Open Porn02:49 - Dopamine and the Screen Compulsion Loop04:32 - Dopamine, Testosterone, and the Brain06:11 - Porn-Induced Erectile Dysfunction07:09 - How Porn Changes Sexual Arousal09:04 - Novelty, Intensity, and Hypersexuality12:25 - Why Men Use Porn for Stress and Boredom15:16 - Rewiring the Brain Through Dopamine Stacking17:21 - High Libido vs. Hypersexuality20:24 - How Porn Changes the Way You See Women23:58 - What a “Hijacked” Brain Looks Like27:38 - The Prefrontal Cortex vs. the “Banana-Hungry Gorilla”30:00 - Replacing Porn With Real-World Dopamine32:24 - Your Brain Is Not Broken - It's Been Conditioned35:20 - Neuroplasticity and the Rigid Brain40:51 - Porn, ADHD Symptoms, and Brain Function43:12 - Nature, Nurture, and How We Train the Brain45:37 - Teaching Kids Emotional Regulation48:17 - Is It Your Relationship or Your Brain?52:39 - Breaking the Cycle of Shame54:42 - A Step-by-Step Plan to Rewire Your Brain57:00 - The Three-Second “Instant Rewire”59:01 - Building Routines That Replace Porn01:00:52 - Setting the GPS for the Life You Want01:03:10 - Where to Find Dr. Trish Leigh***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?
