Did you know that up to 75% of women develop fibroids at some point in their lives? In this episode, I speak with Dr. Bryan Treacy about what fibroids are, how they can affect your health, and the treatment options available. Also we clarify some confusion from our last conversation on fibroids and blood flow. We cover: What fibroids are and why they form Case studies, including women with multiple fibroids How fibroids contribute to heavy menstrual bleeding Different causes of heavy bleeding in the presence of fibroids Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) and why it’s offered Fibroid recurrence after myomectomy Recurrent polyps after menopause and distinguishing polyps from cancer- Gaslighting in women’s healthcare – when women are not heard, misdiagnosed or prescribed unnecessary medications *Point of Reference mentioned in the conversation; How fibroids can cause heavy bleeding: Increased surface area of the uterine lining = Submucosal fibroids stretch the lining, causing more tissue to shed. Distortion of the uterus = Fibroids interfere with normal uterine contractions, prolonging bleeding. Fragile blood vessels = Fibroids can form abnormal vessels that rupture easily. Local hormonal signaling = Fibroids can produce signals that overstimulate the endometrium. Venous congestion = Large fibroids compress veins, causing blood pooling. If you’re curious about fibroid treatments or want to better understand your options, this episode is a must-watch. Dr BryanTreacy is an esteemed Ob/Gyn with over thirty years of experience, his mission is to empower individuals on their health journey. Dr. Treacy's transition from traditional medicine to health consulting and coaching has opened new avenues for personalized and intuitive healthcare.

In this conversation, I sit down again with Jules Vasquez (Brain Body by Jules) to explore how our everyday habits especially what we read, watch, and do before bed - shape our brain health, stress levels, and overall well-being. We talk about why reading physical books (not scrolling or eBooks) can act as a true mental reset - almost like a mini vacation from daily stress - and how this simple habit may support focus, memory, and nervous system regulation. We also dive into the importance of sleep and dreaming, and why your dream state plays a key role in mental health, emotional processing, and clearing out the brain. And yes… we discuss how horror movies and intense content may impact your nervous system, especially if you’re already dealing with high stress or poor sleep. ✨ In this episode, we cover: Why reading books supports brain health and reduces stress Books vs. screens as a form of escape and recovery The role of sleep and dreaming in mental clarity and repair How your nighttime habits influence your brain and hormones The potential impact of horror movies on stress and sleep If you’re looking for simple, practical ways to support your brain in a high-stimulation world, this episode will give you a new perspective on what you consume, both mentally and physically. 👉 Jules Vazquez holds a Master’s in Health Informatics and works as a Health Scientist and Data Scientist, bridging the gap between research, practice, and innovation.

In this second conversation with independent researcher and author Jeff T. Bowles, we explore his controversial and thought-provoking theory about The Winter Gene and the idea that humans may be biologically programmed to enter a form of “hibernation mode.” Jeff suggests that ancient survival pathways - designed to help humans survive winter, famine, and limited sunlight - may still exist in modern biology. According to this theory, many modern health conditions could be linked to these dormant survival programs being unintentionally activated. This wide-ranging conversation explores evolutionary biology, metabolism, vitamins, and some very unconventional ideas about disease and seasonal physiology. Topics discussed include: • What The Winter Gene theory is • Why Jeff believes humans may be stuck in a form of hibernation mode • The concept of “Caveman Diseases” and “Cavewoman Diseases” • The idea of biological “antifreeze programs” in human metabolism • The history of the 1920s supplement boom • The role of Vitamin D in calcium metabolism and calcification • Why nutrients like Magnesium and Vitamin K2 may act as cofactors for vitamin D • Debates surrounding blood testing and modern nutrition science • Jeff’s unusual perspectives on seasonal biology, including discussions around mania, extreme survival behaviors, and historical references to cannibalism • Controversial ideas about cancer and winter biology This was a fascinating and sometimes surprising conversation that challenges many commonly held ideas about health and disease. Whether you agree with Jeff’s theories or not, discussions like this encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and deeper exploration into human metabolism and evolutionary biology.

Perimenopause has become one of the loudest and most confusing conversations in women’s health. Between fear-based messaging, outdated research, and oversimplified advice, many women are left unsure who to trust or what’s actually true. In this episode, I’m joined by Anne-Marie McQueen, health journalist and founder of Hotflash Inc., to unpack the narratives, myths, and truths around perimenopause and hormone therapy - and why nuance matters more than ever. We explore how women’s health messaging has evolved, the lasting impact of the Women’s Health Initiative, and why estrogen is once again being discussed/pushed - including what the removal of the black box warning really means (and what it doesn’t). We also discuss: Some of the most damaging narratives still circulating in women’s health Why these big name Drs are only focusing on estrogen Why the conversation around progesterone remains overlooked or one might say "suppressed" Anne-Marie’s personal perspective on hormone therapy Why hormones alone are not a complete solution Common perimenopause symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats, and the often missed mental health side of things How important lifestyle and nutrition are, and how they can really help The biggest challenges women in midlife face today Emotional changes in perimenopause and learning how to feel, process, and trust your emotions And so much more. This conversation is REAL, thoughtful, honest, and deeply validating - especially for women who feel caught between “just take hormones” and “you don’t need hormones at all.” So if you’re navigating perimenopause, questioning the narratives you’re hearing, or looking for a more balanced, evidence-informed conversation about hormone therapy, this episode is for you. Ann Marie McQueen is a Canadian writer who has lived in Abu Dhabi since 2008. She moved to the capital to serve on the launch team for The National, later becoming features editor.

In this in-depth conversation, I sit down with Dr. James O. Hill, one of the world’s leading researchers on energy balance, metabolism, weight loss, and weight regain, to unpack why losing weight and keeping it off are two very different biological processes and need different understandings. We explore what’s really driving obesity today, why weight regain happens so quickly, and how metabolism, behavior, mindset, and environment interact in ways most diet conversations completely miss. Dr Hill is an OG in the world of weight loss - this conversation may be exactly what you need to hear to help with your success this year! This episode goes beyond calories-in vs calories-out and dives into: How energy expenditure and energy balance actually work Why we are worse off metabolically than ever before The role of genetics, aging, and metabolic flexibility Why every diet works — but not for the reasons you think The difference between losing weight vs maintaining weight The concept of the energy gap and why maintenance is so hard Why the most obesity-inducing diet is high fat + high carbohydrate The importance of mindset and behavioral state What the National Weight Control Registry teaches us Why people need time (often ~3 months) to establish weight loss habits Exercise, step counts, and why pedometers are still gold Small changes vs big changes — and which actually last Tracking weight, progress, and sustainability Eating out and socializing... does it make or break your results Thyroid, adrenal concerns, and metabolic context GLP-1s and where they fit into the bigger picture This is a grounded, honest discussion about what actually works long-term and why weight regain is not a failure of willpower, but a predictable biological response unless the right attitude and systems are in place. Dr. James Hill is one of the world’s foremost experts in obesity and weight management. He has devoted his 40+-year career to helping people lose weight and keep it off. Dr. Hill was a co-founder of the National Weight Control Registry, which has been the single best source of information about how to maintain weight loss.

In this rare and powerful interview, I sit down with Dr. Denis Wilson, the creator of Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome, for his first podcast appearance in years. Can you say AMAZING?! We dive into the origin of Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome, what it actually is, and how it differs from classic hypothyroidism. Dr. Wilson explains why body temperature is one of the most accurate reflections of your metabolism! And why metabolism is the true core function of the thyroid. You’ll learn why you can’t measure metabolism on a blood test, why normal thyroid labs don’t always mean you’re well, and how doctors may completely overlook conversion issues, low T3 function, and cellular-level hormone activity. We also explore: Why low body temperature is a red flag for metabolic slowdown How to increase temperature with T3 and how weaning off can still leave symptoms resolved How the deiodinase enzymes work to control T4-to-T3 conversion Why so many people remain symptomatic even on thyroid medication The cellular reasons behind fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and low mood How stress is one of the biggest drivers of thyroid dysfunction The shocking impact that just one night of poor sleep can have on metabolism And lots more! This episode is essential for anyone who has low thyroid symptoms but “normal” labs, struggles with chronic fatigue or low temperatures, or wants a deeper understanding of metabolism from the physician who pioneered this field. Denis Wilson, MD, described Wilson ‘s Temperature Syndrome in 1988 after observing people with symptoms of low thyroid and low body temperature, yet who had normal blood tests. He found that by normalizing their temperatures with T3 (without T4) their symptoms often remained improved even after the treatment was discontinued. As a result of his findings, Dr. Wilson developed the WT3 protocol for Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome (now standard of care) and originated sustained release T3. He was the first doctor to use sustained-release T3.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jeffrey Dach to unpack the most misunderstood aspects of thyroid health - from TSH and Synthroid to T3 conversion, desiccated thyroid, iodine, selenium, cardiovascular risk, and more. If you’ve ever been told your TSH is “normal” but you still have symptoms (even if you taking Synthroid)… this conversation is going to change how you think about your thyroid therapy. We discuss: • Why TSH is an unreliable marker and why it often reflects inflammation more than thyroid output • How T3 works primarily at the pituitary and T4 at the periphery • Why T4-only therapy (Synthroid/Levothyroxine) can leave patients still feeling rubbish and with symptoms of hypothyroid • The benefits of combination thyroid therapy and why natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) helps so many people • Selenium’s role in T4→T3 conversion and thyroid antibody reduction • The importance of around iodine • How low thyroid function increases cardiovascular disease and cancer risk • The best supplements for thyroid support, including berberine and myo-inositol. And lots more! This episode is a deep dive into thyroid physiology, hormones, optimal treatment, and the gaps in conventional endocrinology that leave so many patients ignored.

I am reposting this friends because this topic of people wanting to test their thyroid and how to understand their thyroid health is popping up a lot in my community again. This is a GREAT episode will lots of information that you can implement immediately. Its very very common that I speak to someone who believes (or I believe) they have low thyroid function or "hypothyroidism", and they are not getting help from conventional medicine. You may get TSH tested, which is almost irrelevant, and then sent home after being told "everything looks normal". But I believe many of us know our own body better then any doctor - we have lived here for many years. So I wanted to remind you of these tests that I have spoken of before. These 4 tests can be done at home with low cost and are non invasive/pain free. You can do these tests, track your data and then discover your thyroid health for yourself. Then you can take action on supporting your body, confidently, after listening to what it is trying to tell you. These tests have been used since the 1800s by many experts in the field of thyroid health and are deemed to be better and more accurate than serum/blood testing. "It has long been known that the metabolic rate increases as body temperature increases." Dr Broda Barnes. As always, please like share and subscribe if you haven't already.

In this solo podcast episode I discuss why I believe Pure Krill oil is SUPERIOR to Fish oil and have done for almost 10 years now. Pure Krill oil has a phospholipid backbone which makes the DHA and EPA it contains more bioavailable and efficacious. I recommend avoiding nearly all commercial fish oil supplements, because the DHA and EPA are delivered in the form of ethyl esters. Ethyl esters are the least bioavailable and cheapest form of omega-3. But a new lysophospholipid form of DHA found in Krill oil shows promise for preventing macular decline that often occurs alongside chronic inflammation and diseases like Alzheimer’s and diabetes. Whereas the DHA in most fish oil supplements cannot reach the retina, where DHA concentrates, LPC-DHA crosses into the retina from the bloodstream easily. Krill oil also counteracts neuroinfammatory processes, due to its phospholipids and additional antioxidant "astaxanthin". Find out more in this newest episode. Also the link to my previous video on krill oil is here; https://youtu.be/JGJ4M8sVU3M As always, please like share and subscribe if you haven't already. :)
