    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.

    Dr Brooke Show #446 What Women Need To Know About Testosterone + HRT Nov 13, 2025
    Show notes

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

    Testosterone for women is among the most over AND under prescribed hormones out there. Women in their 40s and 50s are suffering and struggling to get treatment OR they are being given dosages high enough to cause potentially irreversible side effects. On the other hand, women in their 20s and 30s are prescribed testosterone with little to no attention paid to diet, stress and exercise first. I cover the importance of thorough testing, how to target nutrition and lifestyle for better testosterone output and the best options, dosages and cadence for women if they are going to start taking testosterone. Share this one with a woman who needs it!

    It's that time of year when things can get a little chaotic - in a festive way, but still. Your social feed is about to be filled with healthier swaps for holiday treats, experts telling you how horrible sugar is and others telling you: it's only once a year! In this episode, I cover my tried and true tips and perspectives for navigating how this advice can fit for you (or not), where to have grace, where to have grit, and how I'm coming at the holidays this year from a very different perspective.

    Dr Brooke Show #444 Should You Be Cycling Your HRT? Oct 26, 2025
    Show notes

    In this episode, I am asking a question I get daily in my practice from women taking HRT: do I need to be cycling my progesterone? Or is OK to just take it every day? How about estrogen, does that need to be cycled too? It's a good question and one that experts do not agree on. As I always say though, HRT can't be one size fits all and it's worth understanding why cycling might be better for you - or at least another option! I'm sure you have a friend with this same question, so be sure to forward this episode.

    Dr. Brooke Show #443 Do You Really Need A Weighted Vest? Oct 18, 2025
    Show notes

    Trend alert: weighted vests. These low-weight vests are all the rage in the midlife/perimenopause space right now. The menopause experts say to wear these babies every day, all day, and for every exercise. The fitness experts say there is a whole lot of problems with wearing a weighted vest for long durations and with certain exercises. I break it all down and go over the most commonly touted studies on bone density and fat loss. I cover some times they definitely aren't a good idea and how to avoid the biggest mistakes if you do choose to use a weighted vest.

    Dr Brooke Show #442 Histamine, MCAS and Your Nervous System Sep 30, 2025
    Show notes

    Nervous system regulation is all the rage and it is so important to so many symptoms and health conditions. When you have an overactive and highly sensitive system, it might not be enough to take a deep breath or trigger your vagus nerve with singing or cold water. Those tools are powerful and you should know how to use them but for many of us the ultimate root cause of mast cell activation, autoimmunity, chronic issues like long covid, POTS, etc. is deeper trauma that created a lack of safety and we need to address that before gut health, hormone balance, or other triggers can be safely dealt with. If you or someone you know is chemically sensitive, can't tolerate many foods or supplements or feel like you are spinning your wheels with chasing inflammation or histamine problems, don't miss this episode!

    Dr Brooke Show #441 Why Your Progesterone to Estrogen Ratio Matters Sep 19, 2025
    Show notes

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

    Whether you are cycling and have symptoms or are on HRT and having issues, the ratio of these two hormones can be a real indicator of issues like low progesterone, estrogen dominance or estrogen metabolism issues. You can calculate this ratio from values on your serum testing or urine testing such as the DUTCH test. In this episode, I talk about what this ratio should be, how to calculate it (units matter!), what you can glean from various types of testing (i.e. urine shows you something different than serum, both matter) and what to consider to feel better if your P:E2 ratio is off.

However, with so many new, compounded hormones easily available on the internet, you may be wondering if you should be taking oxytocin.

    Aging is a part of life, but our cells don't always complete their normal life cycle so well due to a host of factors in our modern world.
