In this episode, I answer listeners' questions. "I had a hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy in 2020 due to a large cyst. I was put on the estradiol patch. I also use OTC progesterone cream. It helps with hot flashes but after a few days makes me very, very bloaty and I've gained several pounds. I want to use HRT due to the health benefits, but I can't deal with this bloatedness and weight gain. What do you suggest?" Angela "OK...Go! Hi - I'm dealing with 40 extra lbs that came on suddenly and inexplicably between ages 35-40 (currently 40). I have a Stressful career, Thyroid that is now being optimized (split dose T3 and T4 at night) and confirmed mold which I'm remediating at home. Was once told I had high aluminum and haven't tested in 10 years. Could that be what's preventing me from losing any weight? Can you walk us through chelation - length of time, how you know it's working etc. Many thanks Karen!" Nina "Should I test hormone levels after starting HRT to see if I'm getting enough? And if so, how long after should I do so?" Mamacheryl123 "Is there anything that works as an appetite suppressant? Menopause with weight gain and now a fatty liver.

In today's episode, Dr. Stasha Gominak discusses the gut microbiome, the benefits of vitamin D in terms of the microbiome, the importance of B vitamins, and how the microbiome affects sleep and chronic insomnia. Find out what you can do to beat your insomnia with Dr. Stasha's ground breaking new protocol! Watch the video interview on YouTube "We repair in deep sleep. Inadequate time spent in deep sleep leads to disease. We are "treating" these diseases with medications. Medication is not wrong it's just not the best we can do. If we sleep normally we repair every night and we age more slowly. I believe that we can fix the neuro-chemical causes of all of the sleep disorders by replacing the chemicals that have been lacking." Dr. Gominak attended college in California and medical school at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, receiving her MD degree in 1983. She completed a Neurology residency in 1989 at the Harvard affiliated, Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. In 2004 Dr. Gominak moved with her husband to Tyler, Texas and began to concentrate on treating neurological illness by improving sleep. She published a pivotal article in 2012 proposing that the global struggle with worsening sleep was linked to reduced sun exposure. In 2016 she followed with a second article linking the change in the intestinal microbiome to the epidemic of poor sleep, and described a simple process for normalizing sleep and the intestinal bacterial population, called RightSleep®. drgominak.com Todays podcast is sponsored by Prolon The Fasting Mimicking Diet.

Pam: 41 year old female with menopausal levels of progesterone but normal estrogen levels. Just started taking bioidentical progesterone. I haven't noticed much difference in quality of life yet. How long does it normally take to notice some positive changes? I'm still gaining about a pound a month without doing anything different to diet or exercise. Will the progesterone help with weight loss as well? Thank you for always putting helpful information out there! I went to a herbalist and was told I have too much estrogen in my body but then was recommended estrogen supplements. Is there a such thing as bad (estrogen I have) and good estrogen (supplements)? Hi Karen! I'm a 57 y/o post surgical menopause at age 36. I had saliva cortisol levels done and I'm low in the AM and high the other 3 x a day during the testing. I have Hashimotos that seems well controlled and RA. Really struggling with weight loss resistance. I started IF with a 16 hr fast/8 hr eating window about 2 wks ago, trying to get macros to 20 PRO / 70 FAT /10 CARBS. I'm concerned that the stress of this could make my cortisol worse or throw off my thyroid balance. I'd really appreciate your thoughts. I'm not sure if it would be better to do the DNA testing or repeat hormone testing (done a year ago… estrogen dominant) or just try the IF a while and see. Down 2# so far. Thank you for all you do! Linda: Can fasting wreck my thyroid and hormones. I had a lot of success losing weight for 6 months then started gaining again, quickly. Kim: Hi Karen! I found your podcast episode with Dr. Brownstein fascinating. I did go out and purchase the Lugol's iodine, but I only took it a couple times BECAUSE, shortly afterward, I heard Dr. Alan Christianson on The Ultimate Health Podcast. He warned against iodine supplementation and seems to believe that high dose iodine actually causes thyroid disease. I'm so confused and don't know what to think. Have you heard of these conflicting views? I won't be using the supplement until I get a clearer understanding, but I just wondered your thoughts. Thanks so much! Yoyo: Hi Karen, I'm 59, what supplements are a must for my age? Insta follower: I love your podcast! I found you via Paul Saladino. I'm trying to binge listen to them all. Can you please let me know if there's a specific ratio of estrogen to progesterone? I'm in perimenopause (started at 37 but not diagnosed until just now at 40). I'm having symptoms of estrogen dominance (weight gain in hips, belly, HUGE BOOBS), fatigue, etc. Help!

Join for this information packed Q&A! Helen Is there any point having my blood test done when every cycle is different to the last? Symptom wise and sometimes length wise. Lesa I have been keto, carnivore and fasting with extended fast periodically for a year and a half with no weight loss. I am post menopausal and started HRT 6 months ago. I feel all of the thyroid symptoms but can't get anyone to listen. Thyroid labs look good except T3 is below optimal and RT3 is 30.1. I can't get into the endocrinologist for 6 months and fear he won't listen either. I feel in my heart pure T3 would get me on the way to healing and finally get my insulin down to be able to lose the 40 pounds that I gained in 4 months. I also have high ferritin that I read can keep insulin high. Gail Dr. Brownstein mentioned a specific type of iodine supplement to take. I'm currently working with my physician on my iodine levels and was wondering what the supplement was called/ what it included. If I remember correctly, he said you needed iodine and iodide in it? Emma I am 50 years old and for the most part feel pretty good despite the fact that I am in perimenopause. I am struggling with perimenopause weight gain, (gained 30 pounds since October) sleep. I am finally getting my hair to grow back in the front and my dry skin is getting better, my nails are healthy again. I eat as clean as possible. At this time, I can't afford to go see a functional doctor. So, I have been thinking of buying over the counter estrogen and progesterone bioidentical products. What would you recommend? Thank you for all the information you share with us! Sara Can a woman safely take a compounded bioidentical progesterone PILL? Is there a big difference between it vs cream? Wondering how you feel about bioidentical progesterone in pill form. Is it as safe as cream Gina Thanks – I always find your podcasts very interesting and there was a single "nugget" which I would like to know more about….. I would like to know more about how a vision test can determine toxicity levels? Lesa Are there optimal numbers we should strive to hit for estrogen, testosterone and progesterone when taking HRT or a ratio between them so we know if they need adjusted to feel our best? Milly Hi Karen. Thank you for taking questions for your Saturday podcast. I'm a 46 y.o. who's really bothered by the uncertainty of when my period is coming. It seems I'm into my Perimenopause stage and my cycle could be 19 days one month and others 29, I recently had a record of 41 days! Is there anything we can do other than bio identical hormones to help having more predictable/regular cycles? Thanks! Do you have a question for the next Q&A? Fill out this form.

Annie Hopper has a global mission. To take the "mystery" out of "mysterious illness". Hopper explains how brain trauma can be at the very root of chronic illness and disease. Moreover, Hopper empowers people with the tools that they need to rewire their brain, transform their health and reclaim their lives. Hopper is in the business of what others would call "medical miracles." Hopper knows what its like to suffer from a mysterious illness that the medical system cannot diagnosis or effectively treat. In 2004, while working as a busy counselor, newspaper columnist and talk show guest as an expert in Emotional Wellness, her health started to rapidly deteriorate. Mysterious symptoms like unexplainable insomnia, headaches, body aches and pains, chronic exhaustion and an increasing list of sensitivities ensued. Toxic overload was the eventual diagnosis. But even after undergoing detoxification treatments and an extensive list of healing treatments from over thirty different practitioners, her symptoms continued to escalate. This was the beginning of what can only be described as a type of science fiction nightmare. After almost 4 years of suffering that eventually led to homelessness, Hopper deduced that a toxic brain trauma was most likely at the root of her suffering. Hopper went on to creatively rewire the neural circuits in her brain that had been altered due to toxic trauma and the symptoms of illness eventually dissipated. In 2008, Hopper founded The Dynamic Neural Retraining System, a drug free, neuroplasticity-based healing approach to rewire chronic illness disease patterns in the brain as seen in Chemical Sensitivities, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and many other chronic illnesses. Annie Hopper has lectured throughout North America and abroad, educating both patients and doctors alike about the connection between environmental toxins, brain trauma and physical health. https://retrainingthebrain.com/ Todays show is sponsored by BetterHelp.
