    40: See Ya Later Ovulator - Menopause with Esther Blum Apr 27, 2023
    Show notes

    "You're just getting older."

    When it comes to menopause, women are getting dismissed by doctors, and their symptoms are ignored. With the subject being largely ignored in medical school and residency, it can be a struggle to find a practitioner who is both knowledgeable and willing to dig deeper and provide the care that's needed.

    Today I'm joined by my friend, Integrative Dietitian and Menopause Expert Esther Blum, to debunk menopause myths and discuss how you can go through menopause like a rockstar. Recognizing the gaslighting and lack of education surrounding menopause, Esther aims to help women with a comprehensive approach that considers mind and body.

    In this episode, Esther and I talk about how she came to this work, her experience with alternative modalities like acupuncture, how to start dialing in your diet and lifestyle to improve your symptoms, what you need to know about testing, common menopause myths, the importance of self-advocacy, and more.

    Menopause is not something to simply accept and endure. With an understanding of our bodies and hormones alongside the proper support, you can take control of our health and well-being. Esther has been a huge teacher for me, and I highly recommend checking out her book, See ya later, Ovulator!

    Esther's tips for going through menopause like a rockstar

    38: Adrenal and Thyroid Power with Dr. Izabella Wentz Apr 13, 2023
    Show notes

    "If you want to feel well, you've got to let your body know that it's safe." - Dr. Izabella Wentz

    There are only two hormonal issues that are life and death: thyroid and adrenals. Unfortunately, when it comes to adrenals, what you think you should be doing is probably the opposite of what you should be doing.

    Whether you identify with the burned-out Saboteur or the Workaholic who's constantly pushing, you're not alone. Today I'm happy to be joined by Dr. Izabella Wentz, author of the upcoming book, The Adrenal Transformation Protocol, and one of the books I recommend to all my Hashimoto's patients, Hashimoto's Protocol. Izabella takes a whole-body approach to healing, with nutrition and lifestyle changes alongside mindset and self-care shifts.

    In this episode, Izabella and I discuss her Hashimoto's journey, her decision to develop a healing protocol for herself and how it led to helping others, why she made the transition from focusing on the thyroid to adrenals, what you need to know about adrenal fatigue, how you can start taking steps to turn the ship around, and more.

    If you're struggling with thyroid issues or burnout, you're not alone. Izabella is a wealth of knowledge and experience and has so many resources you can tap into. I really enjoyed this episode, and I know you will too.

    Highlights

    Izabella's snowballing symptoms and her frustrating search for answers

    The motivation behind writing The Root Cause

    Why many doctors prescribe medications like Synthroid over desiccated glandulars and other options

    Izabella's whole-body Hashimoto's protocol and why she focuses on approaching it as an autoimmune condition

    Why Izabella shifted her focus from thyroid to adrenals, despite her initial disbelief of adrenal fatigue

    How Izabella developed her adrenal protocol that's helped thousands of people, including herself

    Symptoms of burnout and adrenal dysfunction

    Self-care and mindset work are crucial for improving your adrenal health

    Why you might need to step back to move forward when it comes to weight loss

    Simple tips you can use to start heading in the right direction

    Targeted supplementation and adaptogens that can help to find pleasure in your day-to-day life

    37: The Bull$hit Fear of Estrogen: I'm Ranting Again Apr 06, 2023
    Show notes

    Estrogen has many protective effects, from bone and heart health to thyroid function and sexual motivation.

    I can't tell you how often I've put a woman on estrogen only to return, saying she felt better for a couple of weeks but decided to stop the medication. Why? Because her friends told her that estrogen causes breast cancer.

    This narrative is spreading like wildfire, and it's frankly misogynistic. Why should women have to suffer the life-altering adverse effects of low estrogen when they have an alternative? How can you say across the board that no one should use this treatment when it has improved the lives of so many people?

    We've already done a couple of episodes on estrogen, and today I'm diving in again to get the message across that estrogen should not be feared. While it may not be for everyone, every woman suffering the effects of low estrogen deserves to make a well-informed decision about their treatment.

    In this episode, I'm sharing how the "estrogen causes breast cancer" myth started, the crucial roles of estrogen in your body, why many menopausal women experience a significant improvement in quality of life with bioidentical hormone therapy, estrogen alternatives you can consider, and more. Enjoy the episode!

    Highlights

    Why women shouldn't be afraid of estrogen causing cancer

    What you need to know about the Women's Health Initiative study

    The many vital roles of estradiol in your body

    We shouldn't force women to suffer the negative effects of estrogen deprivation for decades

    How estrogen impacts the thyroid

    The potentially protective effects of estrogen against heart disease

    Risk factors associated with breast cancer

    Questions to ask people pushing a no-estrogen narrative

    Why you need to combine estrogen and progesterone

    The critical importance of vetting your sources before making a decision

    Making informed decisions about your health

    Supplements that can help with symptoms of low estrogen

    36: Blue Algae + Sustainability with Örlö Nutrition Mar 30, 2023
    Show notes

    Every year, millions of people take dietary supplements hoping to improve their health. The problem is, most of us have no idea what's in the pills we're taking.

    This is particularly true for omega-3 fatty acids, one of the top three supplements I recommend for women of all ages. So many of the omega-3 products on the shelf are low-quality, rancid oils that are a waste of money and can cause more harm than good. On top of that, there are serious issues around the sustainability of the fish oil production process, which is the traditionally recommended source of omega-3.

    If you're going to invest in your health, it's crucial to find a high-quality product but also a company that you can get behind, and that's what I found with Örlö Nutrition. Today I'm joined by Örlö's Corinna Bellizzi to discuss the benefits of algae-based omega-3 fatty acids.

    In this conversation, Corinna and I talk about the role of omega-3 in hormone production, the benefits and challenges of different sources of omega-3 supplements, why we should pay attention to the bioavailability of the supplements we take, the advantages of polar omegas over standard fish oils, how Örlö's sustainable production process works, why you don't need to worry about fish burps and stomach issues with polar omegas, the problems caused by low-quality omega-3 supplements, and more. If you aren't already taking omega-3, I want you on an omega-3. I'm switching from fish oil to algae from Örlö, and I highly recommend you consider it too.

    Highlights

    The benefits and challenges of krill-based supplements

    Why the omegas in Örlö Nutrition's products are significantly more bioavailable than fish oil

    The advantages of polar omegas over standard fish oils

    How Örlö's sustainable production process works

    The issue with relying on eating fish as your only source of omega-3 fats

    How sustainability is integrated into every aspect of Örlö's products

    Why you don't need to worry about fish burps and stomach issues with polar omegas

    How you can quickly tell if your oils are rancid

    The issues caused by rancid fats

    The top three supplements I recommend: maca, magnesium, omega-3

    How omega-3 fats can help with period symptoms

    Questions to ask when choosing a high-quality omega-3 supplement

    Why Corinna is no longer personally in support of fish oil

    35: Endometriosis- Taming the Monster with Khush Sra Mar 23, 2023
    Show notes

    Endometriosis is a debilitating condition affecting millions of women worldwide, yet many go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for years.

    Early diagnosis leads to better outcomes and improved quality of life. As part of our Endometriosis Awareness Month series, I'm joined by holistic health coach Khush Sra today. In addition to being an Endometriosis Nutritionist, Khush has personally suffered with endometriosis and was diagnosed around 20 years ago. She knows the ins and outs of endo, not just from a practitioner's perspective and as a woman and a patient.

    In my practice, I've found the best approach to treating endo is multifaceted and covers multiple angles. Many surgeons who are excellent at removing endometriosis tissue don't have a plan for preventing recurrence beyond prescribing the pill. This is where nutritionists like Khush can come in and provide additional tools and expertise.

    In this conversation, Khush and I discuss her journey from years of deteriorating health with severe endometriosis to being completely symptom free, her approach to working with endometriosis patients, the importance of understanding the individual when creating a treatment plan, and more. This interview was one of my favorites so far, and I believe this is one of the most important topics we've discussed. I know you'll get a lot of value from what Khush shares.

    Highlights

    Khush's endometriosis diagnosis and deteriorating health despite multiple surgeries and medications

    The recognition that the traditional medical path wasn't helping

    Pushing through fear and guilt without enough resources

    Characteristics of the four stages of endometriosis

    The isolation that comes with invisible illnesses

    The pivotal moment when Khush decided to take back her life

    Helping other women as a nutritionist and holistic health coach

    Having a health team is the best approach

    What it's like to work with Khush

    Holistic healing with endo (https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpa1ccEO74E/)

    Khush's recommendations for intermittent fasting with endo

    How you can start prioritizing yourself

    Why it's essential to work with someone who can customize a sustainable program with you

    Khush's message for women in the early stages of endo

    34: Endometriosis - The Misinformation Darling of Women's Health Mar 16, 2023
    Show notes

    Endometriosis is a long-term disease, but it's not a terminal illness.

    While endo symptoms usually present at a young age, it takes approximately seven to ten years for most women to get diagnosed. It's not uncommon to hear of women being bounced around the medical system and silenced with birth control pills to mask their symptoms, with no one taking a closer look. Plus, a doctor needs to confirm the presence of endometrial implants through surgery before you can get a definitive diagnosis.

    March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, and in honor of that, I'm sharing an end-to-end rundown of endometriosis from symptoms to diagnosis and treatment. In this episode, I talk about theories around why endo develops, why it's become a highly-charged topic, the stages of endometriosis, common symptoms, treatment options for endometriosis, how to find the right practitioner for you, and more.

    If you've struggled with this, you have to become your best advocate. Let's not waste more of your life. Let's figure this out and get you the support you need to improve your quality of life. Enjoy the episode!

    Highlights

    Why many women experience a significant delay in getting their endometriosis diagnosis

    Theories about why and when a woman develops endometriosis

    Endometriosis has become a highly-charged topic

    There are many different ways endometriosis can present

    Characteristics of the stages of endometriosis

    Pelvic pain and endometriosis

    Key statistics on endometriosis

    How different doctors manage endometriosis

    Why endometriosis can sometimes lead to infertility and what you can do

    The most prevalent symptoms of endometriosis

    What you need to know about dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia

    Treatment options for endometriosis

    Why I prefer taking a multi-faceted approach to treatment

    Putting your endometriosis diagnosis into perspective

    33: Thyroid Nation with McCall McPherson, PA Mar 09, 2023
    Show notes

    The thyroid gland is a contentious topic in the medical community.

    In my practice, I've seen many women with debilitating symptoms dismissed by doctors only interested in checking TSH levels and sending them on their way.

    Clinicians react from a place of defensiveness, not wanting anyone to question their authority. With the latest research pushing for TSH ranges to be expanded, it seems like the medical field truly under-appreciates the severity of symptoms of hypothyroidism and the massive impact it can have on the quality of life.

    Today I'm joined by my friend and colleague, McCall McPherson, PA, to discuss the issues many women with thyroid problems experience. She's the creator of Thyroid Nation and an authority on all things thyroid. After suffering from the mismanagement of her hypothyroidism, McCall lives, breathes, and thrives in understanding the nuances of proper thyroid care.

    In this conversation, we talk about why most medical providers aren't doing enough for thyroid patients, misconceptions about weight loss, everything you need to know about thyroid testing, dietary and supplement recommendations, and more.

    Despite what you may have been told, none of this is in your head. With the proper guidance, these issues are controllable and fixable. Enjoy the episode!

    About McCall McPherson

    McCall McPherson is the founder of Modern Thyroid Clinic, a thyroid-centered functional medicine practice in Austin, Texas, and the now owner and Chief-Thyroid-Hope-Giver of Thyroid Nation.

    She is a physician assistant, and her philosophy is simple: There is no reason to still have thyroid symptoms. She spends her time helping to make it so by giving her patients their lives back while teaching and advocating for the other millions suffering who aren't her patients.

    Highlights

    McCall's thyroid story and journey to advocacy

    Why most medical providers aren't doing enough for thyroid patients

    Misconceptions about weight loss from optimizing your thyroid

    What you need to know about thyroid testing

    Show notes

    We're back for another round of Q&A with Dr. T!

    So much misinformation is shared when it comes to women's health. There are also a lot of doctors who seem to prescribe things willy-nilly, following guidelines without digging deeper and using science.

We're talking about the difference between Biest and estradiol, whether progesterone causes weight gain, weight loss recommendations, whether you need a Pap smear and more.

    When we slap a band-aid solution like the pill on PCOS, irregular periods, acne, and PMS, the women behind the symptoms are left disempowered and without a real solution. That's what today's guest, Nicole Jardim, is passionate about changing. Through her work as a Certified Women's Health Coach, educator, author, and more, Nicole has impacted the lives of tens of thousands of people worldwide by addressing the root cause of what's going on in their bodies and minds rather than just treating their symptoms.

    In this episode, Nicole and I talk about the glaring issues in how the medical system has treated women, how we can shift the stigma and shame around periods, her passion for educating women about their bodies, the rift between the traditional medical community and health coaches, and more.

    Nicole is a wealth of information, and I highly recommend checking out her book, Fix Your Period, and connecting with her on Instagram. She's a lovely person, and I know you'll love this episode.
