Book Your COMPLEMENTARY CONSULTATION and CALORIE CALCULATION Call: https://calendly.com/d/2p8-mxx-dgf/free-consultation-call-zoom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You didn't start eating differently.You didn't stop moving.And yet your body changed — fast.This episode is for the moment women realize their old habits no longer create the same results… and the frustration that follows when effort stops matching outcome.We're talking about why the scale can climb seemingly overnight in perimenopause and menopause, why doubling down often makes it worse, and how to start interpreting what your body is actually telling you instead of fighting it.Because this isn't random.And it isn't you “slipping.”Your body is responding to something — you just haven't been taught how to read the signal yet.

Send a textBiology of obesity resistance and factors influencing weight gain in humans and animals.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Historical views on obesity: In some cultures, like northern Africa or Stone Age societies, high body fat signaled status or attractiveness due to food scarcity, unlike today's focus on leanness amid calorie abundance.Energy balance components: Metabolizable energy (95% absorption on average, but varying 1-11%) and unabsorbed nutrients excreted as waste significantly influence weight.Obesity resistance in animals: Inbred mouse strains show wide variation in weight gain on high-fat diets, often somewhat uncoupled from overeating, suggesting roles for feed efficiency, energy expenditure, or waste rather than intake alone.Genetic & twin studies: Monozygotic twins overfed 1,000 extra calories daily vary widely in weight gain (4-13 kg), indicating genetic influences, while mouse litter size affects lifelong obesity propensity via early-life programming.Bloodborne factors & hormones: Parabiosis studies led to leptin's discovery for defending against weight loss, but evolutionary logic suggests systems also prevent excess gain, though modern environments may weaken this.Human thinness research: Constitutionally thin people snack more, move less, yet have better cardiometabolic health, but we don't yet understand why.GLP-1 drugs & future directions: These slow gut transit and suppress appetite, but obesity's root causes remain unclear; emerging thinness studies could inform prevention beyond drugs.ABOUT THE GUEST: Jens Lund, PhD is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen's Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 132 | Obesity Epidemic, Diet, Metabolism, Saturated Fat vs. PUFAs, Energy Expenditure, Weight Gain & Feeding Behavior | John SpeakmanSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!In this episode, I break down Cardio For Lifters Over 30 (Benefits, Splits, Progressions)I go through the biggest mistakes lifters make with cardio and how to structure it so it actually improves your training. We talk about progressive overload for cardio, how to track progress, and the difference between interval and steady-state work. I also explain how to periodize cardio during building phases and fat loss phases.Cardio is one of the most underrated tools for lifters, especially after 30. If you've avoided it because you thought it would hurt muscle growth, this episode explains why cardio might actually be the thing improving your body composition, recovery, and performance.Let's talk about:IntroductionWhy lifters over 30 should care about cardioPoor cardiovascular fitness impacts trainingStress resilienceWhy cardio mattersCommon mistakesMetrics to track cardio progressResting heart rate, HRV, and VO2 maxCardio splits for liftersPeriodizing cardio across a yearFollow me on Instagram for more information and education: @jeffhoehn_Body Recomp Checklist 2.0 HEREHow You Can Work With Me?: HERECoaching application: HERE

Have you heard of insulin resistance? It's one of those things that can sneak up on you without you realizing it. Maybe you're noticing weight gain in your midsection, afternoon crashes, cravings that just won't quit, or even irregular cycles — and you're like, “What is happening with my body?” I see this so often with women, and the good news is, it's manageable. In this episode, we're talking insulin resistance — what it is, why it happens, and how things like meals, movement, sleep, and stress fit into the bigger picture, along with labs and supplements that are often part of the conversation.

Have you noticed the weight creeping up after 40—even though you're eating well and trying to take care of yourself? So many women tell me the same thing: "I'm doing all the things, but the scale won't budge anymore." That slow, relentless weight gain can feel confusing, especially when the strategies that once helped you lose weight suddenly stop working. In this episode, we're talking honestly about perimenopause weight gain, hormone imbalance, and belly fat after 40—and why this season requires a different approach. The truth is, midlife weight gain isn't random. As estrogen declines, cortisol rises, and muscle mass naturally decreases, your metabolism shifts. That means the old strategies—eating less, doing more cardio, pushing harder—can actually backfire. Instead, I'm sharing the four needle-moving strategies that truly support fat loss after 40: adequate protein, building muscle, stabilizing blood sugar, and fueling your body strategically. This conversation will help you understand what's really happening in your body so you can stop fighting it and start working with it. If belly fat, hormone imbalance, or stubborn weight gain have been discouraging you lately, this episode will give you a wiser way forward.

In this quick hits I sit down with Dr. Gillett, to exam the complex world of women's hormones today. We'll be focusing on androgens like testosterone, DHEA, and dihydrotestosterone, and their profound impact on female health. Dr. Gillett provides insights on the role of binding globulins, hormone replacement therapy, and the interplay between insulin and androgens. We also discuss the challenges of menopausal weight gain, the benefits of GLP-1 medications for weight loss, and practical strategies anyone can use for maintaining lean body mass. In this episode we discuss: How androgens such as testosterone, DHEA, and dihydrotestosterone affect women's well-being. Why sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is critical for hormone dynamics and stability. Understanding the impact of thyroid binding globulin and cortisol binding globulin on hormone balance. How hormone replacement therapy (HRT) influences women's bodies, especially regarding androgens. Managing testosterone replacement therapy to avoid virilization symptoms like facial hair and voice changes. The role of DHT blockers in managing androgen-related conditions. How SHBG can be harnessed for overall hormone stability and health benefits. Challenges of menopausal weight gain and how hormonal changes affect body composition. Why integrating proper lifestyle habits is essential alongside GLP-1 medications for effective weight loss. How to maintain lean body mass through hormone therapy and lifestyle changes. How oral contraceptives and other synthetic hormones impact SHBG levels and overall hormone balance. The significance of SHBG levels for individuals on hormone replacement therapy or contraceptives. Exploring different forms of testosterone administration, including subcutaneous and intramuscular injections. How estrogen and progesterone influence testosterone levels through negative feedback inhibition. How poor sleep quality and hormonal changes contribute to menopausal weight gain. The paradoxical effects of hormone replacement therapy on body composition and fat gain. Why high SHBG must be paired with adequate hormone levels to avoid feeling unwell. Discussing the challenges faced when SHBG levels are artificially high due to medication.

Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!In this solo episode, I deep dive What Causes Cravings + How To Manage Them.Cravings are something almost everyone struggles with, especially during fat loss phases so today I walk you through the three different types of hunger, how hormones like ghrelin and leptin play a role, and the biggest factors that increase cravings. We cover things like low protein intake, poor sleep, high stress load, inconsistent calorie intake, ultra-processed foods, meal timing, and even how dieting itself can increase cravings.If cravings feel like they're constantly derailing your progress, this episode will help you understand what's actually driving them.Let's talk about:IntroductionWhy Cravings Are IndividualCravings VS Hunger3 Types of HungerDrivers of CravingsFix the Inputs to Fix CravingsFollow me on Instagram for more information and education: @jeffhoehn_Body Recomp Checklist 2.0 HEREHow You Can Work With Me?: HERECoaching application: HERE

As women, we're told our bodies are wrong almost from the moment we become aware of them—and that messaging hits hyperdrive when the body composition changes of menopause arrive. Those changes are often framed as urgent health risks, even when the picture is far more nuanced and the steps taken to “fix” them can carry risks of their own. This week we sit down with dietitian and public health nutrition specialist Diana Reid to dig into what actually drives midlife weight gain, what belly fat and BMI do (and don't) mean for your health, and where GLP-1 medications fit into the picture. We talk muscle and bone loss, under-fueling, weight regain, and how to protect your health if you choose to use weight loss medications.Diana Reid is a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist licensed in both the United States and Luxembourg. She's originally from Seattle, but has been living in Europe since 2016. Diana has a masters degree in Public Health & Nutrition and specializes in nutritional counseling and support for patients with eating disorders; food allergies, intolerances and gut disorders; and the unique challenges related to women's health, especially during midlife and the menopause transition. She is a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and follows a non-diet, weight-neutral approach to health and wellness, focusing on habit building, lifestyle behaviors and balanced nutrition. She believes in practicing with compassion, understanding, and a personalized approach to nutrition and well-being. Diana is a married midlife menopausal mom of three teens and a clingy dog, and loves cycling, weight lifting, hiking and traveling.

Chinese medicine asks why they showed up in the first place. Jiaming Ju is a second-generation Chinese medicine practitioner whose father trained for decades in the mountains on the North Korea-China border — where the most potent medicinal herbs in the world still grow. Jiaming walked away from a rising career as one of the world's youngest longevity economists to carry that lineage forward, and the results speak for themselves: patients with long Covid, endometriosis, PCOS, and autoimmune conditions that "couldn't be fixed" — healing. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why your anxiety, bloating, brain fog, and painful periods are all the same problem — and what your liver and digestion have to do with it • The Chinese medicine view on ADHD, depression, and why medicating the symptom without addressing the root makes things worse over time • Why stubborn weight that won't budge has less to do with what you're eating and more to do with what happened to your digestion years ago If you've been patching symptoms without ever asking why your body got there — this conversation will change how you see everything.

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about zero-calorie drinks and whether they are really the guilt-free option we have been led to believe. A well-known Copenhagen study compared four groups of people who drank a liter a day of regular soda, diet soda, milk, or water for six months, and the results were surprising enough to stop anyone mid-sip. Could a beverage with absolutely no calories still be working against your blood sugar, waistline and your metabolism? What do your gut, your pancreas, and even your taste buds have to do with it? Jenn digs into the science, questions the study's details, and shares what she has seen play out in real life with herself and her clients for years. But before you toss your diet soda or defend it to the end, you should hear what Jenn has to say about who this affects, why, and whether the calorie count on the label is telling you anywhere near the whole story.

Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!In this solo episode, I give you an Update On My Health/Fitness/BloodworkI break down how I structure my nutrition without obsessively tracking, what my current training split looks like, and what my labs revealed about stress, recovery, testosterone, thyroid markers, and overall health. I also explain how I interpret blood work patterns instead of fixating on single numbers, and how recovery, sleep, and fueling are playing a bigger role for me right now than simply adding more volume.If you care about long-term performance, body composition, and understanding what your numbers actually mean instead of guessing, this episode will give you a practical framework you can apply to your own training and health.Let's talk about:IntroductionPerformance building phaseWeekly nutrition staplesSupplementsMuscle growthBlood workTotal testosterone vs free testosteroneSHBGReverse T3 + T3 stress patternRecovery strategiesSleepHS-CRP + creatinine nuanceTraining splitFollow me on Instagram for more information and education: @jeffhoehn_FREE 30 Min Strategy Call: HEREBody Recomp Checklist 2.0 HERENutrition Periodization Masterclass: HEREHow You Can Work With Me?: HERECoaching application: HERE

Send a textAfter a decade in emergency medicine, Dr. Gajer shifted her focus to proactive, root-cause care centered on metabolic health, habit change, and improving healthspan. We talk about what's missing in modern medicine, why being told “it's just genetic” is rarely the full story, and how insulin resistance quietly drives many midlife symptoms.We dive into fatigue, weight gain, poor sleep, and loss of vitality, especially during perimenopause, and how insulin resistance, muscle loss, inflammation, gut health, thyroid and cortisol imbalance, and hormone shifts all connect. Dr. Gajer explains insulin resistance in simple terms and why the eat less move more approach often backfires in midlife.What we cover:Why midlife weight gain often comes down to insulin resistanceWhat insulin is doing behind the scenesWhy genetics are not the whole pictureThe metabolism shift that works in midlife: building muscle and stabilizing blood sugarProtein and fiber targets for metabolic healthSimple tools like post-meal walks and consistent eating windowsHow sleep and light exposure affect insulin resistancePerimenopause hormone changes and sleep disruptionFind Dr Gajer: website click hereFind Jess below!Website: Simply Jess Skincare SIMPLY JESS SKINCARE:Each and every product is naturally derived, highly concentrated and most importantly, super performing!

For more information and support, join us at https://thecirsgroup.com Jacie and Barbara discuss how CIRS commonly affects body weight: often causing weight gain and resistance to fat loss, though some people experience extreme weight loss. They'll dig into why weight changes are driven by chronic, multi-system inflammation from biotoxin exposure (such as mold or Lyme), impacting hormones, metabolism, detox pathways, the brain, and the nervous system. It's not simply “calories in, calories out,” and listeners are encouraged to stop blaming themselves. Key contributors to weight gain include elevated cortisol, hormone disruption (leptin resistance, insulin resistance, altered thyroid signaling even with normal labs, and sex hormone imbalance), nervous system stuck in survival mode, why calorie restriction can reinforce danger signals, and how toxin storage in fat tissue can slow fat loss during detox. They emphasize supportive strategies aligned with the Shoemaker protocol: reduce exposure, calm inflammation, use binders and support detox (including daily bowel movements, sleep, gentle movement, sweating, and lymphatic support), prioritize blood sugar stability, eat adequate protein, sleep, and nervous system regulation. They caution that trying harder through calorie restriction, excessive cardio, and weight cycling can worsen stress signals, and raise concerns about GLP-1s. Focus on healing first: weight often shifts as a side effect of recovery.

Menopause can feel overwhelming — joint pain, stubborn weight gain, decreased libido, brain fog, hot flashes, sleepless nights… and the frustrating sense that no one is really talking about solutions. In this episode, we sit down with Maggie Lamle, RN, to have an honest, empowering conversation about what's actually happening in the body during menopause — and what women can do about it. We dive into: • Why joint pain and stiffness increase during menopause • The connection between hormones, muscle loss, and weight gain • How peptides may support recovery, metabolism, and vitality • Why physical therapy is a powerful (and often overlooked) tool for midlife women • What's behind brain fog and decreased sexual appetite • Practical, actionable steps women can take right now This conversation is about options. It's about understanding your body. And it's about reclaiming strength, clarity, and confidence in midlife. Menopause is not the end of performance — it's a transition. And with the right support, women can thrive. If you've been told “this is just part of aging,” this episode is for you.

Have you ever had one of those moments where you step on the scale after a holiday weekend… and you're like—“Bro… WHAT happened?”And immediately your brain starts negotiating.“I'll start Monday.” “I'll do extra cardio.” “I'm not eating carbs for a week.” “I'm gonna punish myself in the gym.”And the wild part is… most people think the problem was one meal.But it's almost never one meal.It's a pattern. It's a combo. It's a perfect storm that shows up during holidays, vacations, and special events—when your routine gets disrupted and your environment turns into a snack buffet.And if you don't know what that storm is… you're going to keep repeating it every single year.So in this episode, I'm going to break down what I call the Holy Trinity of Fat Gain—the 3 things that almost always show up together… and why avoiding that trio is the difference between enjoying your life and staying on track… versus falling into that “I lost everything” mindset.And then I'm giving you a simple, no-stress game plan—so you can fill your social bucket, live your life, enjoy the food… and come out the other side without needing a “reset.”Resources: Brain.fm App(First month Free, then 20% off subscription)Discount Code: coachdamiensdLinks:IG:@coachdamien_sd@damienrayevans@livinthedream_podcast YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS6VuPgtVsdBpDj5oN3YQTgFB:https://www.facebook.com/coachdamienSD/

Have you ever been told to "just eat less and move more," yet the weight on your legs and arms refuses to budge? In this episode, we shine a light on Lipedema, a chronic and often misunderstood fat disorder that affects millions of women worldwide but frequently goes undiagnosed. We dive deep into the reality of living with a condition that is more than just "stubborn fat." From the physical pain to the emotional toll of medical gaslighting, we explore Tania Saiz's patient journey from confusion to validation. Plus, we are joined by leading specialist, Carolyn Baek, to break down why Lipedema is so often missed, the specific diagnostic criteria you need to know, and the latest medical insights on management and surgery. Carolyn validates what patients have known all along: Lipedema fat is different. She explains the specific texture of "painful fat," and the groundbreaking treatments that are finally offering women their mobility—and their lives—back. This episode bridges the gap between patient suffering and medical solutions. It serves as a toolkit for anyone suspecting they have the condition or struggling to manage it.

GLP-1s and bariatric surgery are powerful medical tools, and the real risk is starting them without understanding what long-term weight maintenance actually requires.This conversation pulls obesity treatment out of the culture wars and back into medicine. Dr. Betsy Dovec, one of the most experienced bariatric surgeons in the country,speaks plainly about what long-term care actually demands, whether someone chooses bariatric surgery, GLP-1 medications, or a combination of both. The question beneath it all is simple and uncomfortable: are you looking for a short-term result, or are you prepared for a long-term strategy?There is honesty here about weight regain, about the reality that stopping GLP-1 medications often leads to reversal, and about why a plan for maintenance matters more than the initial drop on the scale. The discussion touches on Microdosing GLP-1, the rise of GLP-1 oral medication, and how access and expectations shape outcomes. It also moves into GLP-1 for menopause and perimenopause, acknowledging how hormones change the metabolic equation for women and why GLP-1 inflammation benefits may explain why some feel better beyond weight loss alone.This episode challenges the shame narrative. Obesity is treated as a chronic metabolic condition influenced by biology, environment, and hormones. The deeper takeaway is not which tool to choose, but whether you are approaching your health with clarity about what sustainable care truly involves.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Bariatric Surgery Explained: What It Really Is09:11 Long-Term Weight Loss Success and Maintenance Strategies11:57 GLP-1 Medications, Ozempic, and Weight Regain Reality18:04 Hormones, Perimenopause, and GLP-1 for Women28:00 Visceral Fat, Fatty Liver, and Metabolic Risk37:01 Modern Bariatric Surgery and Recovery TimelineConnect with Dr. Betsy Dovec:Follow Dr. Dovec's InstagramVisit BodyByBariatrics WebsiteFollow BodyByBariatrics TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠For More on this Episode: Read the full show notes ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

That's why I love working with herbal allies that support the nervous system, immune system, and sleep naturally, instead of forcing or overriding the body. These three legendary blends from WishGarden Herbs are ones I personally trust and come back to again and again: Deep Stress Daily Calm is my go-to when life feels relentless. Chronic stress impacts hormones, immunity, energy, and mood — not just mentally, but physically. This blend features ashwagandha and nourishing nervine herbs that help calm the stress response both in the moment and over time. It supports healthier cortisol patterns, steadier energy, improved sleep quality, and a more balanced mood — helping the body shift out of constant high gear and back into regulation. When stress shows up as a racing mind at night, Sleepy Nights & Fresh Mornings is such a gentle yet powerful support. I love that it's formulated without melatonin, valerian, or kava, so it supports natural sleep rhythms without dependency or morning grogginess.

Chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity are killing more people than ever before. Could your diet be the biggest driver of this risk? Today, Dr Mark Hyman explains why food matters more than genetics for long-term health, and how one diet change can make the biggest difference.  Alongside Professor Tim Spector, Mark, a 15-times New York Times bestselling author and a practising family doctor, explores how modern eating is linked to chronic disease and what the science says reduces risk. We break down how food is designed to make us eat more, how this affects metabolism, insulin and inflammation, and why this matters more than your genes. By the end of the episode, you'll understand the single most important dietary change Mark believes can lower chronic disease risk, based on clinical experience. If the modern world is driving these conditions, what's one small change you can make to take back control of your future health?

What does body image look like when you're queer, partnered, confident… and still unlearning everything you were taught?In this episode, Alex & Kayla get deeply honest about body image, desire, and self-perception inside queer relationships. They talk about comparing yourself to your past body, feeling pressure to look “gay enough,” navigating femme and masc expectations, and how confidence, strength, and self-expression shape attraction far more than size or shape.From almond moms and Gen Z style anxiety to masculinity, femininity, fitness, sex, and learning how to dress—and live—for yourself, this conversation explores what it really means to feel at home in your body when the rules you grew up with no longer apply.This is a candid, funny, and thoughtful episode about queer identity, lesbian relationships, body neutrality, confidence, and the slow, imperfect work of decentering the gaze and choosing yourself.00:00 – Intro: Married, Codependent, and Back in the Jungle01:00 – Queer Camp Update + Life in Nicaragua05:30 – Today's Topic: Body Image in Queer Relationships06:40 – “My Body Had to Be ___ to Deserve Affection”09:00 – Comparing Your Body to Your Past Self11:00 – Unlearning Food, Rest, and Exercise Guilt13:35 – Body Image in the Queer World vs the Straight World17:00 – Confidence, Self-Expression, and Attraction19:00 – Dating Women: Feeling Bigger, Stronger, or More Visible24:30 – When Body Image Wasn't the Problem at All26:00 – Weight Gain, Health, and Changing Body Shapes28:00 – Masculinity, Femininity, and Wanting a Different Body31:00 – Being Femme, Being “Hot,” and Decentering Men34:00 – Getting Dressed for Yourself (Not the Gaze)37:15 – Listener Hot Takes on Body Image39:30 – Masc vs Femme Bodies & Internalized Misogyny42:00 – Aesthetic Attraction vs Romantic Attraction44:00 – Power, Confidence, and “The Hotter Partner”46:20 – Are Queer People Expected to Be More Body-Evolved?49:45 – Gender Identity vs Learned Body Shame52:40 – Who's the Problem: Men, Women, or the Patriarchy?58:30 – The One Thing We All Fixate On01:00:00 – Why We Do This to Ourselves

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Will: Hi Dr Cabral, Thank you for giving us the opportunity to ask you questions. I've learned so much from other people's questions! I have two of my own. 1. Regarding your past podcast on the importance of broccoli and garlic. I travel a lot for work. When I travel and can't get broccoli or garlic, would it be ok to take a broccoli and garlic supplement. ? 2. I recently purchased the equililife mushroom supplement. Do you recommend taking it all year round or just in the winter. Thanks so much! Will   Carol: Dr Cabral, I would like to start by thanking you for all the information you freely give. I've been listening to your podcast almost since it started and I have been able to make positive changes in my life and my family's. I am a healthy, active 62 year old woman. I walk 5 to 10 miles most days. I do strength training 3 to 5 times a week plus cardio a couple days a week. Through diet and exercise I have been able to maintain my weight most of my adult life. If my weight started to go up I would make adjustments in my diet (which was usually from getting sloppy with my diet). Since 2017 I've done your detox at least 3 times a year (I just haven't been able to swing 4), and they usually help me lose the few pounds I gained and put me back on track with my eating. For the last few years, however, my weight has been creeping up higher and nothing (not even the detoxes) have helped me lose the added weight. I've tried everything I could think of, but my weight continues to go up instead of down. I went through menopause 10 years ago. I'm at a loss at what to do, but I definitely don't want to continue to gain weight. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions? Thank you, Carol                                                                                                                                                                                  Mohamed: Good morning to you Doctor Cabral and all the listeners. Grateful for all that you do. My question is regarding a sort of pinch like feeling on my left side (near heart). On and off randomly.. did blood work and EKG (normal findings). Ran minerals and Metals.. on the higher side for K & N.. Mg green and Calcium (leaning towards high). Other minerals were low, except phosphorus (slightly high) Noticing bloating after meals.. could leaky gut be related to the occasional pinch feeling I get… it's either that or cortisol.. Which lab should I run (can only do 1).. Taking Omega3 support, DNS, Magnesium and exercising twice a week.. I'm a 27 year old man. Noticing new onset fatigue, bloating.. A bit worried about my heart.. thanks.. What can help, proteolytic enzymes, Apple cider Vinegar before meals. Or B vitamins. Thoughts?    Cheryl: Morning, My 73 year old dad has type 2 diabetes. He is otherwise in good health, an active golfer, is about 165lbs and walks daily. My parents are old school and believe everything the dr says. Recently, his dr just uped his metformin to 2x a day from 1x and put him on a pill for his A1C. I am annoyed that the meds are just increased instead of looking at the root cause. They recently saw a dietician who said it is not reversable which I know is not at all true. My mom cooks healthy meals but my dad does have a sweet tooth. When he wants something sweet it is often sugar/free which is terrible and full of chemicals. I do not agree with all of the sugar free stuff/sweetners and try go get them to choose different things-monkfruit/coconut sugar but the dietician recommended the splenda type stuff. would love to help my dad reverse this. Any suggestions where to start would be appreciated. Thank you:)    Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral! Thank you for the amazing work that you do! My 80 year old mother has been experiencing consistent burning mouth syndrome for the past 12 years. She had tried all the conventional methods, gabapentin, CT scan etc and nothing has helped. I recently read that the drop in estrogen during menopause could be the cause. What do you think and any recommendations?

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic are everywhere—but most conversations completely miss what midlife women actually need to know. In this powerful interview, Kim sits down with Dr. Alicia Robbins, board-certified OB/GYN, lifestyle medicine diplomate, and certified menopause practitioner, to unpack the real story behind GLP-1s, microdosing, perimenopause, HRT, and the shame that still surrounds women's health in midlife. They dive deep into: Why “just eat less and move more” is failing women over 40 What GLP-1s really do beyond weight loss: inflammation, brain fog, cravings, and joint pain How to advocate for yourself with your doctor (and what to say when they shut you down) The real reason HRT prescriptions dropped and what you need to know now Why brain fog still isn't officially recognized, and what to do about it How microdosing GLP-1s can support metabolism, mental clarity, and recovery The backlash, stigma, and the jealousy narrative behind the “shortcut” debate This conversation is honest, science-backed, and deeply empowering. If you're navigating midlife, perimenopause, menopause, or simply confused by the noise around GLP-1s, this episode will help you cut through the BS. Follow Kim for more real talk and daily motivation:
