Cortisol Hormone Replenishment & Stress with Bryana Gregory, PharmD, RPh Jan 28, 2026

Show notes

Could low cortisol be the hidden reason behind chronic fatigue, poor stress tolerance, sleep disruptions, or mood changes? Cortisol is often misunderstood as just a “stress hormone,” but it plays a critical role in regulating energy levels, emotional resilience, inflammation, and the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle. When cortisol production becomes depleted due to prolonged stress, illness, or trauma, the body may struggle to function optimally, leading to symptoms commonly associated with adrenal insufficiency. Join us today as Bryana Gregory, PharmD, RPh, Pharmacist and Physician Liaison at Physicians Preference Pharmacy, explains how compounded oral cortisol can be used as a personalized hormone replacement option to support adrenal function. She walks through how cortisol naturally follows a diurnal rhythm, why low levels can disrupt sleep and energy, and how carefully dosed replacement may help restore balance. The discussion also highlights how compounded formulations allow for individualized dosing, cleaner ingredients, and delivery methods that better mimic the body’s natural cortisol patterns. Listeners will gain insight into who may benefit from cortisol replacement, how it differs from adrenal supplements, and why more is not always better when it comes to hormone therapy. This episode emphasizes the importance of working closely with a knowledgeable physician to address symptoms, monitor response, and create a customized approach that supports long-term wellness, resilience, and overall quality of life.

The Body Reboot Program: Cleanse Your Gut, Reset Your Health Jan 16, 2026

Show notes

Struggling with cravings, bloating, or stubborn weight gain? Today, Elaina Mango from the Hotze Health and Wellness Center is joined by James Bittick, Director of Physicians Preference Vitamins, to discuss the Body Reboot program and why gut health is the foundation for sustainable weight loss, energy, and overall wellness. They explain how symptoms such as bloating, indigestion, brain fog, cravings, fatigue, and stubborn weight gain are often signs of yeast overgrowth and poor gut health, commonly caused by a high-sugar diet and frequent antibiotic use. The discussion highlights why weight loss and gut cleansing must be done together, since proper digestion and nutrient absorption are essential for long-term results. Elaina and James walk us through the structure of the Body Reboot program, which includes a free email series filled with education, recipes, motivation, and access to a supportive Facebook community. They also explain how the Body Reboot Pack supports the process by helping curb cravings, support metabolism, cleanse yeast, rebuild the gut microbiome, and promote satiety using physician-recommended, natural supplements. They also emphasize practical preparation tips such as cleaning out the pantry, portion control, avoiding sugars (including fruit) during the initial phase, navigating restaurants successfully, and building a supportive home environment. The ultimate goal is not temporary dieting, but creating sustainable habits that lead to long-term health improvements, lasting weight loss and a lifetime of overall health.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation – Methods & Benefits with Dr. Donald Ellsworth Jan 14, 2026

Show notes

Could stimulating your vagus nerve improve sleep, stress, digestion, and heart health? The vagus nerve plays a critical role in regulating the body’s stress response, digestion, heart rhythm, immune function, and overall sense of calm. Dr. Donald Ellsworth is joined by James Bittick, Director of Physicians Preference Vitamins, to explain why vagus nerve stimulation is becoming an important tool in natural health and wellness. They discuss how the vagus nerve helps balance the sympathetic “fight or flight” system with the parasympathetic “rest and digest” system, and how poor vagal tone can contribute to anxiety, sleep disturbances, digestive issues, cardiovascular stress, headaches, and difficulty focusing. Dr. Ellsworth explains how improving vagal nerve output may support mood, energy levels, immune health, blood pressure regulation, and even cognitive function. The conversation also introduces the Truvaga™ Plus, a non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation device designed to gently activate the vagus nerve through the neck. James shares real-world examples of how individuals have used vagal stimulation to reduce migraines, improve sleep quality, calm panic symptoms, and support relaxation. They also highlight natural, no-cost ways to stimulate the vagus nerve, including breathing techniques, humming, singing, and other relaxation practices. This episode offers practical insight into how supporting the vagus nerve can improve resilience, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall well-being using both technology and simple lifestyle strategies.

The Benefits of Cholesterol and the Truth About Statins Jan 07, 2026

Show notes

Is cholesterol really the cause of heart disease, or is something deeper at play? Approximately 800,000 people in the US have heart attacks annually, and heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Many people still misunderstand what truly drives cardiovascular risk. In this episode, Dr. Hotze explains why heart disease is not simply a cholesterol problem and why many individuals suffer heart attacks despite having normal or even low cholesterol levels. He breaks down the real contributors to heart disease, including chronic inflammation, bacterial exposure, toxic metals, and impaired cellular energy production. Dr. Hotze discusses how inflammation can originate from unexpected sources, such as oral bacteria entering the bloodstream, and how toxic metals like mercury, lead, and aluminum may contribute to cardiovascular damage over time. He also emphasizes the heart’s extraordinary energy demands, explaining why mitochondrial health and nutrients like CoQ10 are essential for proper heart function. Without adequate cellular energy production, the heart cannot perform the continuous work required to sustain life. This episode highlights practical, preventive strategies for naturally protecting heart health, including reducing inflammation, supporting mitochondrial function, and incorporating healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acids. Dr. Hotze emphasizes that true cardiovascular wellness stems from addressing the root causes rather than relying solely on conventional markers or medications.

Hair Loss Prevention & Treatment with Bryana Gregory, PharmD, RPh Dec 31, 2025

Show notes

Is ongoing hair loss more than just aging or genetics? More than 35 million men and 21 million women experience hair loss to some degree. Pharmacist and physician liaison, Bryana Gregory, takes a root-cause approach to understanding hair loss and hair regrowth. She explains how factors like hormonal imbalance, nutrient deficiencies, chronic stress, thyroid dysfunction, inflammation, and post-viral immune stress can disrupt the natural hair growth cycle and lead to excessive shedding. Hair loss is often the result of the body prioritizing survival over auxiliary functions like hair growth, especially during periods of prolonged inflammation. Bryana introduces a proprietary compounded Hair Support Solution designed to address both hair loss and regrowth simultaneously. This topical formulation combines three synergistic ingredients to support circulation, collagen production, and follicle regeneration, and help reactivate dormant hair follicles. Together, these ingredients work locally at the scalp without systemic absorption, supporting healthier follicles and longer growth phases. The episode also emphasizes the importance of supporting hair health through proper nutrition, adequate protein intake, stress management, and avoiding inflammatory hair products. Bryana explains how consistent topical use, combined with lifestyle awareness, can help restore balance at the follicular level. For those experiencing chronic hair thinning, post-COVID hair loss, or hormone-related shedding, this compounded solution offers a targeted, physician-guided option for addressing hair loss at its source.

Tubal Ligation & Hormone Health After Hysterectomy Dec 17, 2025

Show notes

Can a tubal ligation trigger years of unexplained symptoms like heavy periods, mood swings, fatigue, and hormonal imbalance? For many women, the answer is yes! In this episode, Dr. Hotze explains why so many women experience new or worsening symptoms after a tubal ligation and why these changes are so often overlooked in traditional medical settings. Dr. Hotze breaks down how cutting, tying, or clamping the fallopian tubes can reduce blood flow to the ovaries, leading to diminished progesterone production. With progesterone levels disrupted, women may experience irregular cycles, heavy bleeding, clotting, cramping, breast tenderness, fluid retention, headaches, depression, anxiety, irritability, and worsening PMS. Over time, these hormonal imbalances may push women toward unnecessary hysterectomies or synthetic hormone treatments that fail to address the true cause of their symptoms. Instead, Dr. Hotze highlights the effectiveness of natural, bioidentical progesterone as a way to restore hormonal balance, prevent further decline, and protect long-term health. This episode is a reminder that many women do not need drastic surgical interventions. They need proper hormone evaluation and natural support. By replenishing progesterone and avoiding counterfeit hormones, women can safeguard their health, preserve their organs, and regain energy, vitality, and enthusiasm for life. If you've experienced post-tubal ligation symptoms or feel dismissed by conventional medical recommendations, this episode offers a clear, natural path forward.

Allergy Relief with Low Dose Immunotherapy (LDI) Dec 10, 2025

Show notes

Are allergies silently draining your energy, wearing down your immune system, and keeping you stuck in a cycle of chronic symptoms? Allergies aren’t just seasonal annoyances, they are abnormal immune reactions to everyday substances like pollens, molds, dust mites, animal dander, and even foods. When your body misidentifies these normal particles as threats, it triggers inflammation, congestion, infections, fatigue, skin issues, and respiratory problems that can worsen over time. Many people turn to antihistamines, decongestants, or steroids, but these only mask symptoms rather than address the root cause. In this episode, Dr. Hotze breaks down how allergies develop, why they tend to run in families, and how repeated exposure can overwhelm your immune system and lead to the “cycle of illness.” He also explains why antibiotics often exacerbate the problem by disrupting gut flora and fueling yeast overgrowth, which further weakens immunity. Most importantly, Dr. Hotze shares a proven, practical solution called low-dose immunotherapy, a targeted approach that helps block allergic reactions at the source. This therapy can dramatically reduce symptoms, including asthma, sinus infections, eczema, and chronic drainage, by retraining the immune system instead of suppressing it. If allergies are affecting your daily life, your mood, your sleep, or your overall well-being, there is a natural and effective way to restore your health. Low-dose immunotherapy may be the long-term relief you’ve been searching for. Watch now and subscribe to our podcasts at www.HotzePodcast.com.

Healthy Eating to Improve Your Healthspan Nov 26, 2025

Show notes

Are your daily eating habits helping you live longer, or cutting your health span short? Seventy-five percent of the population is overweight, and 45% are obese! In this episode, Dr. Hotze breaks down why the quality of your years matters just as much as the quantity. He explains that health span is largely determined by the food choices we make every single day. With obesity, diabetes, fatty liver disease, hypertension, joint deterioration, and heart disease rising across America, Dr. Hotze makes it clear that the root cause for most individuals is not a lack of medication but an unhealthy, carbohydrate-heavy diet that overworks the body’s metabolic systems. Dr. Hotze walks listeners through the impact of the Standard American Diet (SAD), emphasizing how processed carbohydrates spike insulin, drive fat storage, and lead to insulin resistance. He also highlights how antibiotics, yeast overgrowth, and a damaged microbiome contribute to systemic inflammation, allergies, gastrointestinal issues, and weight gain. Using a compelling real-life example of a longtime friend who reversed diabetes, normalized liver function, and lost more than 200 pounds through nutritional discipline, he shows what is possible when individuals take charge of their eating habits rather than relying on pharmaceutical quick fixes. “Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food.” To get your free copy of “Dr. Hotze’s Optimal Eating Guide,” call our office at 281-698-8698.

Melatonin & Sleep with Bryana Gregory, PharmD, RPh Nov 19, 2025

Show notes

Struggling to fall asleep, or stay asleep? In this episode, pharmacist Bryana Gregory, PharmD, RPh, explains why sleep is a root-cause issue that drives hormone balance, immune strength, metabolism, and daily performance. She covers how circadian rhythm, light exposure, stress, pain, and life stages (like menopause) influence sleep quality, and why fixing daytime cues is just as important as what you take at night. Bryana dives into melatonin beyond the basics: what melatonin is, why production declines with age, and how targeted formulations can match your sleep patterns. For trouble falling asleep, she discusses immediate-release sublingual tablets; for middle-of-the-night wakeups, sustained or delayed-release capsules; and how some guests benefit from both. She also addresses long-term use, safety, dosage personalization, and the value of potency-verified, compounded prescriptions free of common fillers.

How Hormone Health Affects Immune Function with Guest Emily Stellfox Nov 05, 2025

Show notes

Experiencing the postpartum “new normal” that never felt normal? Today’s guest was feeling “off” after baby number three and couldn’t bounce back. After experiencing heavy periods, painful ovulation, hives, asthma, brain fog, poor sleep, and mood swings, she reached out to Hotze Health and Wellness Center to find answers. At the Hotze Health & Wellness Center, Emily’s root causes were uncovered. She was treated for hormone imbalance (low progesterone), food/environmental sensitivities, yeast overgrowth/leaky gut, and Hashimoto’s, along with two suspicious thyroid nodules later confirmed as a non-invasive carcinoma. Join Dr. Hotze and his guest, Emily Stellfox, as they walk through the natural plan that turned everything around. Emily was treated with gluten elimination and a strict GAPS-style reset, targeted probiotics and a yeast cleanse, low-dose progesterone, low-dose immunotherapy for allergies, key vitamins/minerals, and eliminated fluoride. With careful follow-up (thanks to Dr. Ellsworth & Jill), she removed the problematic thyroid lobe, resolved the hives and asthma, normalized cycles, regained energy and sleep, and brought her Hashimoto’s markers to zero! She now rates her health a “10.” Emily’s message to you today is “take charge of your health, fix the gut, balance hormones, and partner with a team that treats causes, not just symptoms.” Watch now and subscribe to our podcasts at www.HotzePodcast.com.
