For most of our lives as women, we hear the word hormones and think of the negative impacts they have on us. It’s been drilled into our heads since a young age that women have hormones to deal with; they make us moody; we have to get a period every month; there are negative connotations around hormones and aging through menopause. But what if we flipped this mindset around to recognize the amazing impact hormones can have on our lives once we learn how to truly optimize them? Dr. Nicky explains how our hormones can be our superpower and they can unlock our greatest potential. We just need to learn how to work with them. Although we’ve studied the body for years, we’re still just scratching the surface of studying the details of the female body specifically. It’s so important that women understand their own bodies. And to achieve optimal health and performance as a woman throughout our reproductive years into menopause, we need to be in tune with our biological rhythm. We deserve female-centric routines that work for our unique bodies to boost our metabolism, maintain our blood sugar, keep our stress hormones in check, and allow our brains to function at their best. Once we’re aware of how to optimize the hormones that regulate our energy, metabolism, and ovulatory cycle, we can truly start to feel amazing in our bodies. Dr. Nicky Keay is a cutting-edge doctor who’s making strides in women’s health research. And she’s here to share the tips she’s discovered through her extensive understanding of the endocrine system.

Stress. We all experience it. Taking on too much. Biting off more than you can chew. Putting other peoples’ needs before your own too often. It’s an inevitable component of life. In fact, 98% of people report to their doctors that they have stress in their lives. But what we don’t realize is sometimes this stress is due to underlying physiological conditions. Thyroid dysfunction– especially hypothyroidism– is almost always connected to an adrenal issue. And since the adrenal gland produces the stress hormone cortisol, this means low thyroid function goes hand in hand with experiencing chronic stress. But– there are ways we can support our bodies and adrenal function to optimize our health even with a chronic condition like hypothyroidism. So if you’re ready to show up for loved ones and yourself, or work on projects you’re passionate about while feeling energized and minimally stressed– this is an episode you won’t want to miss! Integrative pharmacist and best-selling author Dr. Izabella Wentz joins me to educate us all about how to best support our adrenal health and energy levels while navigating a busy life. Dr. Izabel’s newest book The Adrenal Transformation Protocol is designed not only for women who are struggling with diagnosed chronic health conditions, but it benefits anyone dealing with symptoms of adrenal fatigue such as brain fog, fatigue, sleep issues, mood swings, or anxiety. She’s released her program to over 3,500 people now. And she’s helped so many of them who have serious health issues get better with real diagnoses. She’s also guided people who may not have a diagnosis yet but are searching for answers because they know something’s off in their bodies. If you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, or uncertainty with symptoms, you have to hear what Dr. Izabella discusses and learn more about what you can expect in her new adrenal transformation protocol book. Check out this podcast to discover tips for supporting your adrenal function through diet, supplements, and lifestyle modifications. Dr. Izabella provides you with the tools you need to live a more stress-free life and minimize symptoms that may be putting your body in stressful states. Don’t forget to put yourself first! Dr. Izabella Wentz Dr. Izabella Wentz is an innovative and solution-focused integrative pharmacist. She’s dedicated to finding the root cause of chronic health conditions. This passion stems from her own diagnosis with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in 2009, following 10 years of debilitating symptoms. Dr. Izabella has been treating patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and low thyroid function for several years. And she’s developed protocols targeting adrenal issues. She’s an accomplished author and has written several best-selling books including Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause and Hashimoto's Protocol: A 90-Day Plan for Reversing Thyroid Symptoms and Getting Your Life Back. Her newest book– The Adrenal Transformation Protocol– is fully devoted to her experience healing adrenal issues in thousands of people.

EPISODE SUMMARY How often have you heard that your gut health is directly linked to the health of your entire body? We often associate gut issues with symptoms like bloating, gas, acid reflux, or constipation. But we rarely connect gut issues with other symptoms like fatigue, PMS, cramps, hot flashes, and other hormonal imbalances. I’ve seen recently in this post-pandemic world that many of our guts are in far a worse state than before. We’re more inflamed. Our immune system is more out of whack. And we're seeing more and more cases of autoimmunity in women. The first place we have to look to make a change is our gut health. An inflamed gut not only causes digestive issues, but it can lead to headaches, pains, sluggishness, hormonal imbalance, and even changes in mental health like anxiety or depression. Dr. Vincent Pedre– a functional gut health doctor– joins us today to discuss the connection between leaky gut and system-wide inflammatory disruption– especially related to our hormones, metabolism, blood sugar, and mood. Dr. Pedre explains that ‘although they call our gut the second brain, I think our gut is our first intuitive brain.’ He shares how you can learn more about exactly what your gut needs through a personalized protocol for gut health. If your current doctors can’t find answers, aren’t seeing any abnormalities, or are unable to pinpoint what treatments will help you, it’s time for you to try something more comprehensive to manage your symptoms. And that’s what you’ll get from tuning in here to Dr. Pedre! In this podcast, you’ll realize how connected our gut is to our overall health, and what’s possible for you in healing your gut– therefore giving you a healthier life. Make sure to listen here for tons of must-know gut tips that you can start implementing today! It’s time to take action and listen to your gut to optimize your health and live your life to the fullest. Dr. Vincent Pedre Dr. Vincent Pedre is the medical director of Pedre Integrative Health and the founder of Dr. Pedre Wellness. He’s also the founder of Happy Gut Life and works as a nutraceutical consultant and spokesperson for Nature MD.

OPTIMIZING TESTOSTERONE, GROWTH HORMONE AND OTHER METABOLIC HORMONES IN OUR 40S AND BEYOND WITH DR. STEPHANIE ESTIMA EPISODE SUMMARY As women, we have so much going on hormonally that it’s essential we understand how to best take care of our bodies. Our metabolism and hormones are constantly changing every single day throughout our menstrual cycle, leading to disturbances throughout multiple systems. But knowing how our bodies shift through these hormonal phases allows us to leverage our menstrual cycle to its full advantage. We can do this in regard to metabolism, body composition, and so much more– even in perimenopause. That’s what Dr. Stephanie Estima explains to us in this podcast. We talk about all things metabolic health for women– particularly in perimenopause and menopause when we see a decline in our hormones. This time feels like a roller coaster ride– we don’t really know what’s going to work for us and what’s not. But that’s why understanding your menstrual cycle can help ease these unknown symptoms. And it will help to optimize your health. Perimenopause comprises close to 50% of a woman’s life!

Episode Summary After everything we’ve been through in the past few years, anxiety in our population is at an all-time high. You may have felt it yourself. Dr. Tâmara Castelo has seen this firsthand with her patients. After over 12 years in her career as a doctor, once the pandemic hit she had to shift her way of working. She needed to figure out the best ways to reduce anxiety in her patients to provide the best support through such a highly stressful time. As an expert in Chinese medicine, she has tons of experience helping others move out of a state of anxiety. And she helps patients understand how to become more attuned to their bodies. This helps reduce anxiousness, tension, stress, and discomfort. We often forget to connect with our body or really tap into what our body needs. So often, stress and anxiety can actually present physically in our bodies. Understanding what these physical manifestations mean can help us get to the real root of the problem. In this podcast, Dr. Castelo teaches us about how our body tries to speak to us when we’re constantly experiencing things like anxiety and perceived stress, pain, or migraines. She’ll also dive into the discussion of sleep, and how to prioritize it to help manage our physical and mental health. She’ll explain to you the secret to the optimal amount of sleep you should get every night. If you’ve been dealing with anxiety, migraines, body aches, or stress– this podcast is for you. Dr. Castelo teaches us so much about looking into your body and recognizing what it needs. You can make these observations of your body through powerful rituals that Dr. Castelo explains further in this show. She goes deeper into this concept in her book The Power of Rituals: Small Habits, Big Changes for your Well-being and Health.

If you have ever seen mold growing inside your home, most of the time, there is a larger problem that you need to look into immediately. Surface mold is just the tip of the iceberg and can wreak havoc on any system in the body, which is why it is so important to identify these mycotoxins as soon as possible to save your health and your home. All Things Mold with Bridgit Danner Bridgit Danner is a licensed acupuncturist, certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, and the founder of HormoneDetoxShop.com. After losing everything to toxic mold herself, Bridgit now educates about toxins and how to detoxify your body and home through a functional healthcare approach. She is my go-to expert when it comes to all things mold and is here today to share how your symptoms could be related to micro toxin exposure you might not even know about. Could Mold Be Causing Your Hormone Symptoms? Bridgit refers to toxic mold like a roommate that you don't want to have. Toxic mold will continue to grow and emit mycotoxins until it is dealt with for good. While you can't always see it, toxic mold can suppress your immune system, damage your cells, cause cancer and birth defects, impair mitochondrial function and the nervous system, and so much more. The only way to recover from toxic mold exposure, whether it was recent or long in the past, is to detoxify. If you have been trying everything but still can't shake your symptoms, mold could be to blame. Daily Detoxification Is Key Cleansing your home and your system of mycotoxins can take a while. This is why Bridgit recommends going step by step and focusing on the basics in order to detoxify your system. Even if you have not been exposed to toxic mold, the toxins we are all exposed to the daily call for consistent detoxifying habits to help you age well and relieve your symptoms. Daily detoxification is the key to getting past some of your biggest symptoms. While diagnosing a mold-related illness is critical, there is so much that we can do on a daily basis to detoxify our bodies and feel safe in our homes. Are you ready to cleanse your body and home from toxic mold exposure? Share your story with me in the comments below!
