    Dr. Brooke Show

    Amidst polarizing, conflicting, and often alarming health and hormone information, The Dr Brooke Show is a voice of sanity where a sensible and nuanced take is honored. Black-and-white thinking, complex daily routines, and hormone advice that get you lost in minutia are not welcome here, but you are. With your host Dr Brooke Kalanick, functional medicine doctor and female hormone expert, you’ll sift through the nonsense and get to what matters most for your hormones and your happiness. Deep dive with expert interviews as well as Dr. Brooke’s solo episodes will give you the solutions you need.

    Dr Brooke is a speaker, author, and unlike most online experts: still a doc in full-time practice working with real women every day. Like you, she is navigating the moving target that is female hormones through the years and trying to live life more like interval training vs. a marathon: work hard but also recover, learning when to have more grit or when to have more grace. Oh, and also trying not to give her kids too much to talk about in therapy someday. Her promise to you is at least one actionable takeaway from each episode to help you BETTER today.

    New episodes every Tuesday because a fresh take doesn’t have to happen on a Monday. Any day, any moment is a chance to heal a bit, love ourselves more, make a better choice, and just maybe change our lives.

    If this week’s topic isn’t for you, check past episodes and stay tuned for next week as a lot of ground is covered on this show! Whether you are 20 or 60, you deserve to understand how your hormones work and how you can feel your best.

    Show notes

    Most women underestimate the bizarre, surprising symptoms that can crop up during perimenopause — such as itchy ears, voice changes, and even unusual body odors. If you thought menopause was just hot flashes, sleep issues, night sweats, zero energy and weight gain, think again. In this episode, we'll unpack some of the lesser-known signs and symptoms that hormone shifts are taking a toll on your body — and the more burning question... just what the heck can we do about them?

    Show notes

    Whether age, experience or tough times - sometimes you just "get something" in a way you didn't before. There are a few popular, Instagram-meme-worthy concepts that have taken on a deeper meaning for me lately. I'm sharing how I understand ideas like forgiveness, boundaries and the every popular "choose yourself" in this rather personal episode. I hope this helps if you're going through something really big or just the daily self love and kindness that we often struggle to do.

    For more info on how I can help you, visit my site BetterByDrBrooke.

    Magnesium is likely in your supplement regimen right now, as its benefits are widely known. However, many of us take one form, such as citrate or glycinate, only and miss out on other important forms of magnesium that benefit our vessels, heart, and energy production. As well, most of us, even with supplementation, might be dosing too low for our needs. In this episode, Wade Lightheart, co-founder of BIOptimizers joins me to talk about the creation of Magnesium Breakthrough and the science that sets it apart fom most magneisum spplements out there.

    Dr Brooke Show #454 Why Bone Health Is A Marker of HEALTH Not Just Disease Mar 14, 2026

    For more info on how I can help you, visit my site BetterByDrBrooke.

    Women today are becoming more aware of the value of both strength training and HRT on their bone health. Most screening, though, takes place much later and often when osteoporosis and osteopenia have already set in. In this episode, I challenge the ideas that bone loss is only a symptom of osteoporosis, we simply need to take more calcium to build bone, and that HRT alone - or even strength training alone - are all we need to think about when it comes to protecting and rebuilding our bones. Other hormones like cortisol and thyroid, oxidative stress and inflammation, and other nutrients like protein, fiber, magnesium, and vitamin D are all crucial to address as well. Learn why we need to reconsider how and when we test for bone loss, how specifically we are lifting, and what we can eat to improve our bone health.

    Dr. Brooke Show #453 Why Midlife Is So Exhausting Feb 28, 2026
    Show notes

    For more info on how I can help you, visit my site BetterByDrBrooke.

    Most women in midlife feel exhausted, and fluctuating hormones certainly plays into that via impacting neurotransmitters, energy production and disrupting sleep from symptoms like night sweats. However, HRT is merely one piece of that puzzle. It's important to look at a bigger picture not just in terms of hormones and deficiencies but also how much this time of life and the transitions we go through impact our emotional well-being. It can be a rough transition, this episode will help.

    Dr. Brooke Show #451 Using Birthcontrol Instead of HRT in Perimenopause Jan 30, 2026
    Show notes

    For more info on how I can help you, visit my site BetterByDrBrooke.

    In this episode, I talk about using birth control instead of HRT during midlife. There are times when this option makes sense but it is important to know these hormones are different types, dosages, and come with different risk factors and are formulated for very different goals. Oftentimes they are a starting place instead of beginning HRT when a women enters perimenopause. It's important to know what your goals are during this phase of life, how birth control options may fit in and when they are clearly the wrong choice.
