Why Not Doing HRT Could Harm Your Brain, Bones, and Libido with Dr. Tami Meraglia Mar 27, 2025

Show notes

Most women don't hear this from their doctors, but low hormones can quietly wreck your sleep, drain your energy, and seriously mess with your brain, bones, and mood.

Dr. Tami Meraglia joins us to talk about what really happens when estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone start to decline and why hormone replacement therapy (HRT) isn't just about easing hot flashes.

This episode covers it all—from waking up at 3 a.m. for no reason to losing muscle no matter how hard you work out or feeling more irritable than usual and not knowing why.

Dr. Tami breaks down the research, the risks, and the real-life signs your hormones might be out of whack, even if your labs look "normal."

"Our brains literally shrink in size during menopause because of the lack of estrogen. Estrogen is so, so important for so many reasons." ~ Dr. Tami Meraglia

In This Episode:

- Dr. Tami's background in hormone therapy

- Myths about hormone replacement therapy

- Progesterone benefits and sleep

- Estrogen's role in bone health and heart health

PFAS (Forever Chemicals) in Non-Stick Pans: How They Harm Your Heart With David Barrett Mar 06, 2025

Show notes

One out of every five deaths in the US is caused by heart disease, and the forever chemicals hiding in your cookware could be contributing to this epidemic. David Barrett, owner of Chef's Foundry, reveals how PFAS chemicals in non-stick cookware raise cholesterol, increase blood pressure, disrupt thyroid function, slow metabolism, and even increase risk of cardiovascular events.

Even one small scratch on a non-stick surface can release 9,000 toxic particles into your food, while heavy scratching releases up to 2 million particles.

David shares the shocking DuPont scandal behind Teflon, the truth about "greenwashed" non-stick cookware, and why those flu-like symptoms after cooking might actually be "Teflon flu." Plus, learn which safe cookware options actually work and how to choose between ceramic, stainless steel, and cast iron alternatives.

"You really do need to avoid any cookware that has forever chemicals in them. It's not just cookware; they're found in clothing, cosmetics, tap water." ~ David Barrett
