Episode 2: The Mental Side of Estrogen & Progesterone Your hormones don't just shape your cycle—they shape your mind. In this episode, we're digging into how estrogen and progesterone impact mood, memory, motivation, and mental health, and what you can do about it. Book an intake with Jess!  Learn more about Empowered Eating HERE!  What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. How Estrogen & Progesterone Affect the Brain Estrogen boosts serotonin and dopamine, supporting mood, memory, and cognition. Low levels? Think irritability, brain fog, mood swings, and focus struggles. Progesterone has calming, GABA-like effects that regulate anxiety and sleep. When levels dip, anxiety and insomnia often spike. Fluctuations (like PMS or perimenopause) create emotional reactivity—and some women are more sensitive than others. 2. Why This Feels So Hard Cyclical mood swings, irritability, and brain fog PMS and PMDD challenges Perimenopause mood dysregulation and midlife depression risk Sleep disruptions that worsen mood and focus 3. The “ALIFE” Framework (Episode 1 Refresher) A – Adapt Stress: Cortisol throws hormones off rhythm. L – Love Your Liver: Cruciferous veggies + hydration help clear excess hormones. I – Increase Awareness: Track your cycle and mood, sleep, energy. F – Fuel for Balance: Protein, fiber, and healthy fats stabilize blood sugar. E – Embrace Sleep: Non-negotiable for hormone harmony. 4. Actionable Strategies from a Clinical Perspective Track & Monitor with Intention: Chart mood, cravings, sleep, and energy with your cycle to spot patterns. Micronutrients that Matter: Omega-3s (EPA/DHA) → serotonin support B vitamins (especially B6) → neurotransmitter synthesis Magnesium → calms the nervous system & eases PMS irritability Tryptophan → serotonin precursor (turkey, eggs, nuts) Iron & Zinc → energy, brain clarity, progesterone support Balancing Estrogen: Boost when low: phytoestrogens (flax, soy), adequate calories, micronutrients Bind excess when high: cruciferous veggies, fiber, probiotics for gut health Lifestyle Levers: Balance blood sugar → stable mood Manage stress → keep cortisol from hijacking sex hormones Move daily → serotonin boost & hormone metabolism Prioritize sleep → keeps the whole hormone orchestra in sync 5. When to Ask for Help If mood swings, anxiety, or depression become debilitating or interfere with daily life, it's time to bring in professional mental health support alongside nutrition and lifestyle strategies. Key Takeaway You don't have to be at the mercy of your hormones. With the right nutrition, awareness, and lifestyle tools, you can work with your cycle instead of fighting against it. This is Empowered Eating in action: where science, biofeedback, and your values intersect so you can feel like yourself again.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Rick Rule to the show. Rick Rule is Investor, Speculator, Founder & CEO of Rule Investment Media. In this comprehensive discussion, Rule provides deep insights into commodity markets, focusing on gold, oil, and various other resources. Regarding gold, Rule believes the precious metal is positioned for significant growth over the next five to ten years. He anticipates a potential 75% decline in the US dollar's purchasing power, which could translate to a three-fold increase in gold's nominal price. Rule emphasizes that while gold's trajectory won't be a smooth ascent, investors should be prepared for volatility and cyclical movements. In the energy sector, Rule is particularly bullish on oil and gas. He argues that despite narratives about alternative energy, fossil fuels will remain the dominant global energy source for decades. He sees tremendous value in companies like Exxon, which he believes is trading at a 50% discount to its net present value. Rule suggests that the industry's ongoing infrastructure investments and technological advancements make oil and gas an attractive investment opportunity. Rule also shares perspectives on various commodities, including nickel, copper, zinc, and uranium. He highlights the significant underinvestment in these sectors over the past decades, which creates potential long-term investment opportunities. For instance, he sees a substantial copper supply deficit emerging in the next five years due to decades of underinvestment. Beyond commodities, Rule discusses his involvement with Rule Investment Media and Battle Bank, offering investors resources to analyze natural resource stocks and providing innovative banking services. He encourages investors to conduct thorough research, be patient, and look for opportunities in sectors experiencing market disfavor. Throughout the conversation, Rule's investment philosophy emphasizes understanding long-term trends, focusing on high-quality producers, and being willing to take calculated risks in undervalued sectors. His approach combines deep industry knowledge with a pragmatic, patient investment strategy.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Geo Espinosa, one of America's foremost integrative urologists.

Dr. Geo Espinosa, one of America's foremost integrative urologists, dishes on men's urinary problems, natural support for testosterone, and prostate cancer. Lifestyle factors—diet, exercise, sleep and stress reduction—play an important role in all phases of urological health. Dr. Geo explains how he interacts with conventional urologists on the faculty of NYU Langone Medical Center where he practices. Why are men's urinary problems not just a matter of prostate size? How can natural strategies alleviate urinary difficulties without the need for surgery or drugs? Besides saw palmetto, what nutraceuticals can benefit men with urinary problems? Are there really natural herbal alternatives to testosterone? For men with prostate cancer who are under active surveillance, is there anything more that can be done to minimize their chance of eventually needing surgery or radiation? What nutraceuticals, vitamins and minerals have anti-prostate cancer potential?

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:    BM: Hi Dr Cabral! I'm 40y.o. m. Big5 Dec24:1)IgG High-0, Moderate-3(wheat, eggs, chili p.), Low-21, yeast-normal, candida alb-moderate;2)Omega3-11%;3)M&M: elevated mercury, aluminum;4)OAT: candida overgrowth. Jan-Jul2025: 7day detox>CBO protocol>CBO finisher 2 months. Followed sensitive gut guide. Didn't do heavy metals detox, intestinal cleanse. Aug25 IgG (EquiLife (EL)): high12; moderate 38, low 42, yeast-moderate, candida alb-moderate. Working with EL coach. EL coach, your podcasts suggest this is leaky gut. EL wellness plan (Aug25): 7d detox>para protocol, clean gut prob., Healthy gut support, GSE drops>heavy metals detox. Eliminate: all in high+gluten, yeast (have not started yet). Am I on the right path and have you seen such cases in your practice? what is likely root cause? Thank you.                                                  Lisa: Can you recommend what to do or take if I experience abdominal pain or discomfort while vacationing in Europe later this fall? I'm concerned that access to the “right” foods might be tough while on the cruise and touring. Currently I'm in the last month of my CBO protocol and have also completed the 14 day detox and 7 day intestinal cleanse . All will be completed before I leave for Europe. Thank you, Lisa         Susy: Hi dr Cabral, my minerals and metals test showed that my zinc is optimal and copper is very low even after supplementing with zinc and copper and the DNS for 3 months. But I've noticed that copper is usually not recommended on its own by an IHP. However I've heard some practitioners say that zinc can inhibit proper copper absorption or at least take longer to get optimal levels of copper if taken with zinc. What are your thoughts on that? Or is it possible to get to much zinc if I keep taking it together?                                                                                                                                               Bettina: Hi Dr. Cabral, My husband recently purchased a testosterone supplement he came across—probably via Instagram—and I wanted to ask your opinion on the ingredients. Magnesium oxide Ginseng extract (Panax ginseng) Muira puama extract (Ptychopetalum olacoides) Fenugreek extract (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) Fillers (microcrystalline cellulose) Zinc citrate Anti-caking agents (cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose, magnesium salts of fatty acids) Stabilizer (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose) Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) Pyridoxine hydrochloride (Vitamin B6) Black pepper extract (Piper nigrum) Coating agents (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol) Coloring agent (calcium carbonate) Do you think this combination is safe and potentially effective? Thanks for your help on this :-)                Svetlana: Hello Dr.Cabral, after reading your book and listening to your podcasts I've made many positive changes to my lifestyle, one of them is taking the DNS for breakfast. I'm losing weight now (desired), but it takes me very long to finish the shake and I'm wondering if that's not a good thing in the long run since it keeps my insulin levels up without a break to my digestive system until lunch. It makes me feel very full, sometimes can't finish it until noon when I start it about 8:30am. At lunch time I'm still full and end up skipping lunch and eating supper at 5, no food after 7pm. I only put about 13oz of coconut water (or coconut milk mixed with water), 1 tbsp chia seeds, small handful of aronia berries and about 1/4 cup cauliflower in it. I used to eat 3 large meals and many snacks before       Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3536 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

On this powerful episode, Ali sits down with Lacy Nicole—who you may have seen in the headlines for dating Jesse Lally from the hit reality show The Valley—but her story goes far deeper than Bravo antics. Lacy has endured the unthinkable: she survived a kidnapping before even beginning her infertility journey, and then faced years of debilitating reproductive health struggles—stage four endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, polyps, 28 ER visits, and multiple surgeries. She opens up about Lupron shots, induced menopause, internal bleeding, chronic fatigue, and the emotional toll of IVF, miscarriages, anxiety, and PTSD. She also talks about finding strength in the endo community, her current egg freezing journey, and finally finding a medical team who advocates for her care. Raw, honest, and inspiring, Lacy's story is a testament to resilience, community, and refusing to stay silent.

Dan Barnholden, CEO of Luca Mining (TSX.V:LUCA – OTCQX:LUCMF – FSE:TSGA), joins us to review their Q2 operations and key financial metrics, the further debt repayment, ongoing metallurgical work, 4 separate exploration programs, and provides insights on key upcoming catalysts across both of Luca's producing assets – the Tahuehueto and Campo Morado mines, located in the prolific Sierra Madre mineralized belt in Mexico.    Second Quarter Highlights Gold equivalent production totaled 17,861 ounces in Q2 2025, up 28% compared to Q2 2024, and 39,154 ounces in H1 2025, supported by continued ramp-up at Tahuehueto, strong base metals output, and strong plant availability at Campo Morado. Tahuehueto advanced operationally, maintaining over 90% plant utilization in the quarter while increasing tonnes milled by 104% year over year to 72,396, underscoring continued ramp-up progress and plant reliability. Throughput momentum continued as well in the quarter, with a 65% increase in consolidated tonnes milled to 253,717; Campo Morado milled 181,320 tonnes (+54%), an average of 2,133 tonnes per day, while Tahuehueto more than doubled output, averaging 905 tonnes per day in the quarter, compared to the same period in the prior year. Gold production reached 6,622 ounces, up 55% from Q2 2024, supported by stable recoveries at Tahuehueto and steady plant operations despite lower mined grades. Campo Morado set a new benchmark with 98.7% grinding availability, its highest of the year, and delivered 11,106 gold-equivalent ounces—supported by stronger zinc and copper grades. Tahuehueto contributed 6,755 gold-equivalent ounces, a 44% increase year over year, and silver production rose 108% to 71,441 ounces, highlighting rising output from higher-grade zones. Zinc, copper, and lead production rose 74%, 66%, and 49%, respectively, on a consolidated basis, benefiting from improved head grades, higher throughput, and processing efficiency across both sites. Consolidated revenues more than doubled year-over-year to US$36.78 million driven by higher production volumes and improved realized prices across most metals, and delivered record revenue of US$75.4 million for the first half of the year.. Cash provided by operating activities totaled $12.61 million in Q2 2025, a substantial increase from $739,000 in Q2 2024, primarily driven by a 102% increase in revenues supported by higher gold-equivalent production (+28%) and improved realized prices. Strong throughput growth at both operations, particularly a 104% increase in tonnes milled at Tahuehueto and 98.7% grinding availability at Campo Morado, contributed to enhanced cash generation. Adjusted net earnings totaled $3.26 million in Q2 2025, a step in the right direction from a near break-even result in Q2 2024. The turnaround reflects improved operational profitability, stronger metal sales, and disciplined cost management, offsetting non-cash and non-recurring items that impacted the reported net loss. Positive adjusted EBITDA of US$5.8 million in Q2 2025 (Q2 2024 – positive adjusted EBITDA of $4,166), with US$18.2 million generated in the first half of the year; supported by increased sales across gold, zinc, and copper, as well as improved operating margins. For the year ahead, the Company anticipates producing between 85,000 and 100,000 gold equivalent ounces with payable ounces ranging between 65,000 and 80,000.

Supporting Your Child's Nutrition While on ADHD MedicationIf your child is on ADHD medication and you've noticed their appetite has disappeared, this episode is for you. One of the most common concerns we hear from families is: “They're finally more focused, but they barely touch their lunchbox.”This week on the podcast, we're unpacking why ADHD medication can impact appetite and what you can do to make sure your child is still getting the nourishment they need to grow and thrive.

Angela and special guest Barton Scott look at the intricate relationship between nutrition and mental health, particularly focusing on anxiety, bipolar disorder, and mood swings, by examining a personal story about a past relationship, highlighting how low sodium levels can significantly impact emotional well-being and behaviour KEY TAKEAWAYS: There is a correlation between nutritional intake and hormone production. Low levels of essential nutrients can affect adrenal hormone production, leading to symptoms like lethargy and fatigue, which are often associated with mood disorders. Sharing personal stories can be powerful. Struggles with mental health, illustrating how feelings of self-loathing and despair can be exacerbated by nutritional deficiencies. Mineral supplementation, particularly sodium, magnesium, and potassium, is key in improving mental clarity and overall well-being. The impact of receiving these minerals through medical treatment (like a saline drip) is also noted. Hair mineral testing is presented as a valuable tool for understanding metabolic function and thyroid health. It can reveal imbalances in essential minerals and guide dietary adjustments to improve overall health and energy levels. TIMESTAMPS AND KEY TOPICS: [00:02:38] Hormonal impact on mental health. [00:04:36] Sodium's impact on mental health. [00:09:12] Zinc supplementation and mercury levels.

In this episode of Ask a Nutritionist, registered dietitian Britni Vincent explains why zinc is essential for everything from immune strength and skin health to digestion, hormones, and even mood. You'll learn surprising signs of deficiency - like white spots on nails, poor wound healing, or changes in taste and smell - and learn how stress, gut health, and certain medications can lower your zinc levels. You'll also learn the best food sources, when supplementation makes sense, and how small changes can make a big difference in your overall health.

Here's my go-to for Zinc supplementation: http://glutenfreesociety.org/UltraZincIn this week's episode of Dr. Osborne's Zone, the focus is on the essential mineral zinc and its significant role in various bodily functions. Zinc is crucial for over 300 enzymatic activities, immune function, healing, DNA synthesis, and sperm health. Deficiency in zinc can lead to low testosterone, skin rashes, acne, and increased susceptibility to infections. We'll go over the clinical problems associated with zinc deficiency, such as growth retardation, immune dysfunction, and cognitive impairments. Zinc deficiency can manifest in infants as a specific rash and can also cause chronic diaper rash. We'll also talk about the importance of measuring zinc levels, especially for those on certain medications like steroids and antibiotics, which can deplete zinc. ​​You can find the images from tonight's show HERE: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/images-from-zinc-benefits-you-didnt-know-about/Gluten Sensitive?  Take the quiz & Join Our Community ▶https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/gluten-sensitivity-intolerance-self-test/Get my quick start guide on going gluten free: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/how-to-go-gluten-free/Nutritional Crash Courses Playlist: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/nutritionGet Gluten Free Supplements: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/shop-home/No Grain No Pain the Book: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/NoGrainNoPainGlutenology Masterclass (Ultimate Guide): https://glutenology.net/registrationTo connect with Dr. Osborne visit:On the web: https://drpeterosborne.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DoctorPeterOsborne/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/docosborne/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drosborneTwitter: https://twitter.com/glutenologyRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-3908832Podcast:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dr-osbornes-zone/id1706389688?uo=4Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Zdf07GgpRAVwlSsYvirXTAmazon Music/Audible: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/20d71b2e-3554-4569-9d5b-4259785cdc94Google Podcasts: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3ByZWFrZXIuY29tL3Nob3cvNTkwNjcwNC9lcGlzb2Rlcy9mZWVkiHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/119388846*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

What if proving your right to work, rent, or even open a bank account didn't require digging out your passport or waiting weeks for manual verification? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Hamraj Gulamali, Head of Legal and Compliance at Zinc, to talk about how digital identities are changing the way we think about employment, data ownership, and trust. Hamraj brings a unique perspective to the conversation. A barrister-turned-startup leader, he now sits at the centre of one of the UK's most forward-thinking background check platforms. Zinc's mission is simple but ambitious: to make employment identity verification faster, safer, and fairer. But as Hamraj points out, this shift isn't just about convenience. It's about control. We discuss how digital IDs are already helping automate background checks, reduce onboarding delays, and improve accuracy in high-volume hiring environments. Hamraj explains why placing ownership of work identity back in the hands of individuals has the potential to unlock wider applications—from renting a home to streamlining banking processes. But there's also friction. Some industries face structural and cultural resistance. Others fear the cost of digital transformation or worry about public trust. Hamraj unpacks why regulators have both helped and hindered progress. He shares his view on the UK's Trust Framework, the Online Safety Act, and why transparency, retention policies, and robust cybersecurity are essential for building public confidence. As we look ahead, Hamraj offers a clear vision for how verified digital IDs could simplify everyday tasks, slash manual admin, and reduce the compliance burden across multiple sectors. This episode cuts through the noise to offer a calm, informed, and practical take on one of the most overlooked shifts in how we live and work. Whether you're in HR, tech, compliance, or just tired of carrying your passport across town on your first day of work, this conversation will get you thinking about what needs to happen next.

In this episode, we detail the structure and function of the intestinal mucosal barrier, highlighting key roles that zinc plays in supporting various aspects of mucosal barrier integrity. We detail key anatomical features, including the mucus layer, epithelial cells, and tight junctions, before discussing zinc's physiological roles, its relationship with copper, and factors that can affect zinc levels. The discussion further details mechanistic features of zinc absorption as well as specialized forms such as zinc carnosine.Topics:1. Introduction - Overview of intestinal hyperpermeability and intestinal barrier function- Highlighting the role of zinc 2. Intestinal Barrier Anatomy - Four major layers: mucosa, submucosa, muscularis externa, serosa- Mucosa subdivisions; focus on epithelium  3. The Mucus Layer  - Location over the epithelial surface- Composition: mucin-rich, secreted by goblet cells- Goblet cell mucin storage and expansion upon hydration- Functions: trapping pathogens, lubricating epithelium, housing molecules including secretory IgA- Small intestine mucus - Large intestine mucus 4. The Intestinal Epithelium - Monolayer of epithelial cells: enterocytes, goblet cells, and more- Tight junctions, paracellular transport - Continuous epithelial renewal 5. Introduction to Zinc - Zinc as a trace mineral required in minute quantities for numerous physiological processes - Second most abundant trace mineral after iron; majority stored in muscle and bone- Maintaining plasma and intracellular zinc concentrations within narrow range- Both deficiency and excess can disrupt biochemical processes 6. Zinc and Copper  - Zinc and copper as closely interconnected minerals- Zinc, copper, and metallothionein binding in enterocytes- Both high and low zinc can disrupt zinc-copper balance- Metallothionein as a cysteine-rich metal-binding protein  7. Factors Affecting Zinc Levels  - Multifactorial- Possible signs of low zinc status 8. Zinc Absorption  - Dietary sources- Primary absorption in small intestine - In the stomach: HCl and pepsin denature proteins and cleave peptide bonds, releasing zinc from protein complexes- Dietary zinc often bound within tertiary protein structure- Specialized transporters  9. Zinc's Role in the Intestinal Barrier  - Zinc and tight junction proteins- Zinc and Intestinal Epithelial Cells - Zinc and the mucus layer 10. Broader Context of Zinc in Physiology   11. Zinc Carnosine  - Molecular complex of zinc and carnosine- L-carnosine composed of beta-alanine and L-histidine- Gastrointestinal context 12. Conclusion - Multifactorial and multi-system.Thank you to our episode sponsors: 1. ⁠⁠⁠⁠OmneDiem®'s⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Histamine Digest®⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠Histamine Digest® PureMAX⁠⁠⁠⁠ : Use code STXAL9VI for 15% off.2. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Histamine Digest® Histamine Complete⁠⁠⁠⁠ with DAO, Vitamin C, Quercetin, Bromelain, and Stinging Nettle Root Extract: Use code STXAL9VI for 15% off.3.

Avoid these 4 big zinc supplement mistakes!1. Taking too much zincZinc and copper work together and compete for absorption. Always take copper with zinc to avoid a copper deficiency. Some parts of the immune system benefit from high doses of zinc, while others thrive with just the right amount of zinc. Taking 100 to 200 mg of zinc for 3 days is beneficial if you have an inflammatory infection, but high doses of zinc for extended periods can also be damaging. Know when to take zinc and avoid high doses for long periods. 2. No cofactors taken with zincCofactors are vitamins and minerals that work together to allow our biochemistry to work. For zinc to function properly in the body, you need adequate magnesium, vitamin B6, and folate. 3. Not knowing when you're deficientWhite nail spots can sometimes indicate a zinc deficiency, but how can you know for sure if you're deficient? Try the zinc test! Take a small amount of zinc in your mouth and swish it around. If you can taste the metallic taste, you are not deficient. If you can't taste anything, you need more zinc. 4. Taking too little zinc Taking too little zinc is just as bad as taking too much! Carbohydrates contain phytic acid, which blocks zinc. This is why zinc deficiency is so common in children. Diarrhea can deplete zinc and other minerals, and low stomach acid can inhibit mineral absorption. Alcohol, pregnancy, and high estrogen from birth control pills can also increase your demand for zinc. Red meat, shellfish, liver, and oysters are the best sources of zinc. If you opt for supplements, you must take at least 30 mg of zinc daily for a therapeutic effect. Zinc works best when taken with food, but it still works on an empty stomach.
