“My mom had a clean bill of health. A month later, she needed a quadruple bypass.”

That’s what Dr. Camille told me as we continued our conversation in this two-part episode.

At the time, she was already deep into functional medicine, helping patients uncover what standard labs missed. But when her own mother—vibrant, active, and ‘perfect on paper’—ended up in the ER with life-threatening blockages, the cracks in conventional care became undeniable.

In Part 1, we uncovered how hormones like testosterone and progesterone are routinely ignored in women’s health. Now, we go further—into the how behind hormone dysfunction.

Because it’s not just about how much estrogen you have. It’s about how your body breaks it down. Metabolizes it. Clears it. And if those systems aren’t working—your labs can look “normal” while your risk keeps rising.

We talk about the tools Dr. Camille now relies on—DUTCH testing, methylation panels, advanced gut testing. She explains how enzymes like beta-glucuronidase can quietly recirculate hormones your body was trying to clear—raising inflammation and risk in the background.

And then there’s thermography. A non-radiation imaging tool that revealed unexpected inflammation in Dr. Camille’s own breast tissue—despite her clean lifestyle and normal labs.

It was a wake-up call. One that changed how she supports her body—and how she guides her patients forward.

This isn’t about chasing wellness—it’s about knowing what path you’re on before you land in crisis.

If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, start there. Then come back.

Because once you see what’s missing from the standard of care—you can’t unsee it.

The Hormone Women Are Missing—Because It’s Marketed to Men Jun 24, 2025

Show notes

The truth about women and testosterone?

No one’s talking about it.

So, what happens when the migraines won’t stop, your energy disappears, your mood tanks- and no one is connecting the dots?

On this episode of Medical Disruptors, I sit down with Dr. Camille, a board-certified ER physician whose entire understanding of women’s health shifted after a personal crisis the system couldn’t explain.

She was a new mom, a new attending, and by every standard, doing everything right. But her body was shutting down- and conventional medicine had no roadmap.

Until she uncovered one crucial truth: women need testosterone, too.

In part one of this two-part series, we dive into the hormone conversation most doctors aren’t having- especially when it comes to high-functioning, midlife women.

We break down the overlooked role of testosterone in female health, why estrogen dominance starts way before menopause, and how progesterone plays a much bigger role than you’ve been told.

Dr. Camille’s story is both validating and deeply practical. You’ll walk away understanding how your symptoms—fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, weight gain, cycle changes—might be hormone-related, even if your labs are “normal.”

And we’re just getting started.

In part two, we go deeper into the science of hormone replacement therapy, explore functional hormone testing, and talk about how to safely and strategically support your body through perimenopause and beyond.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed, depleted, or like you’re losing yourself and no one’s listening—start here.

This conversation changes everything.

Why Women Burn Out Faster—and What NAD Has to Do With It Jun 17, 2025

Show notes

Is NAD the Missing Link in Longevity and Cellular Repair?

In this episode of Medical Disruptors, Dr. Efrat LaMandre sits down with Baran—an entrepreneur who partnered with a Harvard-trained scientist—to uncover the truth about one of the most underrated molecules in the human body: NAD.

They explore why NAD is essential for energy, focus, and DNA repair, and reveal what really causes your levels to start dropping in your 30s.

That decline isn’t just a number—it’s directly linked to fatigue, brain fog, and the visible signs of aging. But this isn’t about popping a supplement and hoping for the best. Baran breaks down why taking NAD alone isn’t enough, what your body truly needs to rebuild it, and how chronic inflammation can quietly sabotage the process before your cells ever get the benefit.

This episode isn’t about hype or hacks—it’s about strategy. Science-backed, body-aware strategy. If you're ready to protect your brain, restore your energy, and take a smarter approach to aging, this is where it starts.

Menopause Doesn't Have to Be Miserable- Ways to Manage Your Symptoms Jun 15, 2025

Show notes

We’ve been told that hot flashes, fatigue, weight gain, and brain fog are just “normal” parts of aging—but that’s not the whole story.

In this episode of Medical Disruptor, Dr. Efrat Lamandre breaks down why those symptoms are common but not normal, and how fixing your insulin, adrenals, and thyroid is the real starting point to balanced hormones—not just jumping into estrogen therapy.

She explains why most women are actually facing estrogen dominance, not deficiency, and how bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT)—when done right—can protect your heart, bones, and brain.

If you're tired of feeling dismissed or told “this is just part of getting older,” this episode will empower you with practical, root-cause strategies for thriving through menopause.

Hormones & Burnout in Women 50+: How to Get the Right Tests and Finally Be Heard Jun 10, 2025

Show notes

Dr. LaKeischa, a board-certified OB/GYN turned functional medicine powerhouse, joins me to expose what most doctors aren’t telling women about perimenopause, menopause, and midlife hormone chaos.

At 40, she discovered she had zero testosterone—and suddenly became the patient in her own practice. That wake-up call launched her into a new approach: advanced labs, trauma-informed care, and hormone protocols that actually work.

We break down the real reasons behind weight gain, burnout, mood swings, and mystery symptoms—and why it’s not just aging. You’ll hear how Dr. LaKeischa helps her “hormone hotties” reclaim energy, confidence, and clarity using a precision-based approach to hormone health.

From hormone imbalances to thyroid and adrenal dysfunction, to the metabolic root causes of symptoms like insulin resistance, this conversation goes beyond surface-level fixes. It’s an empowering deep dive into how functional medicine can transform how we care for women in midlife.

This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever been told: “It’s just menopause. Get used to it.” Spoiler: You don’t have to settle for surviving. Let’s talk about thriving—with science, soul, and strategy.
