Dr. Mary Claire Haver: Supporting Your Health Throughout Menopause with The Galveston Diet Feb 07, 2023

Show notes

Today on The Girlfriend Doctor, I am joined by Dr.Mary Claire Haver, founder of the Galveston diet! Dr. Haver is helping you master your hormones so you can confidently step into the second spring of your life. Menopause is often viewed as a disease because so many women are suffering from imbalanced hormones and poor diets that are causing the symptoms associated with menopause.

Although weight loss is a beneficial side effect, The Galveston diet is not focused on weight management but on reducing inflammation. Every woman is unique but by focusing on lowering inflammation and balancing your hormones, you can reclaim your health at any age.

In this episode, Dr. Haver teaches you how you can add intermittent fasting to your menopause tool kit, to help you combat inflammation and balance your hormones. Many doctors are still recommending that ovaries should be removed after menopause to avoid ovarian cancer but studies have revealed that even throughout menopause, your ovaries are always producing essential hormones needed for optimal health. With the Galvestone diet you can help restore your hormonal balance and avoid unnecessary suffering to make your second spring the best years of your life.

Building Radical Confidence with Lisa Bilyeu - How to Eliminate Limiting Beliefs to Become Unstoppable Jan 31, 2023

Show notes

Today on the Girlfriend Doctor, we examine how you can master your insecurities with Lisa Bilyeu, co-founder of Quest nutrition. Her book, Radical Confidence is an eye opening guide on how you can incrementally improve yourself by changing your thought patterns into a positive and empowering understanding of your own potential. Confidence is not inherent but is generated from relentless effort towards improvement.

In this episode, Lisa shares exactly how you can build awareness of the limiting beliefs that restrain your mind and subsequently the actions you take towards your best self. If you surrender to the fact that perfection is unattainable and confidence is created from competence, you will become unstoppable. You have limitless potential and a choice to shape and pursue your life mission.

By understanding yourself and defining your purpose, you will be equipped to reject anything that does not align with your heart and attract everything that does. How you perceive the world shapes your place in it. By questioning yourself, you broaden the possibilities available to you and can work towards a fulfilling and joyful life. Confidence is ultimately a skill and every failure gets you closer to the courage you desire.

Natural Beauty from the Inside Out with Rachel Varga Jan 24, 2023

Show notes

Today on the Girlfriend Doctor, I discuss inner and outer beauty with Rachel Varga. She is a Double Board Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist. After personally performing over 20,000 procedures, Rachel now trains physicians and nurses, across the globe, to perform safe and holistic treatments. In her research, she has discovered some disturbing realities about the technology, products and even the lights you are exposed to in your daily life. In this episode, she provides healthy alternatives to toxic routines in hopes of reducing your toxic burden.

You may be unknowingly burdening your skin with electromagnetic frequencies that are actually making your blood sticky. Without proper circulation, your blood can not effectively deliver nutrients to your skin and also inhibits its ability to purge metabolic waste. Rachel teaches you how to mitigate exposure by grounding yourself in nature and detoxing from your devices at night.

Your skin is your body's final alert system; redness, dryness or puffy skin indicates a deeper health issue. Topical treatments alone will have little effect on these symptoms. If you want to enhance the effects of your skincare routine, getting outside, reducing your toxic burden and detoxing from harmful frequencies will help you achieve natural beauty from the inside out!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

[2:30] Red, dry and hyperpigmentation skin is last warning sign of a deeper health problem

[4:00] Derma rolling allows actives like copper peptide penetrate deeper into the skin

[6:00] Instead of a Gua Sha stone, use your fingertips to energize your face and stimulate fascia

[10:00] Grounding in nature encourages healthy electromagnetic interactions in your blood

[11:00] Cut electromagnetics exposure at night with airplane mode and turning off your router

[12:50] Harmful blue light emitted from laptops, phones and LED penetrate deeper than sunlight

[14:26] Blue blocking glasses shield the delicate skin around your eyes and improve sleep

[17:30] Pure epsom salt, avocado oil, baking soda and clean bar of soap for a detox bath

[20:00] With any type of autoimmune disease, botox or laser treatments could be too toxic

[23:40] Plastic bottled water introduces dangerous microplastic in your body

"When we're outside, we're barefoot and touching a tree, what happens is our red blood cells go back to the state they want to go back to which is nicely bouncing off one another like inner tubes or doughnuts; carrying oxygen and nutrients to the cells, to the organs, hello! The brain, the skin, the liver and carrying away metabolic waste products like CO2." [10:37]

"The LED's that are more cost and time efficient, energy efficient rather; they're actually damaging the skin, not to mention, messing with your hormones and your sleep and also, I postulate, promoting hair loss." [13:49]

Life Beyond Illness and Discovering Your Purpose Despite Tragedy with Dr. Jill Carnaham Jan 17, 2023

Show notes

Today on the Girlfriend Doctor, I uncover the beauty of suffering with Dr. Jill Carnaham, a board certified integrative medicine specialist and author of Unexpected. As a patient, Dr. Carnaham survived breast cancer, crohn's disease, leaky gut syndrome and despite facing her own mortality now seeks to help those suffering from a similar fate. Known as the Sherlock Holmes of medicine, she instills compassion and an investigative approach to medicine, to find the root cause of her patients' illnesses.

Growing up on a farm using the toxic herbicide Atrazine, triggered Dr.Carnaham's lifelong battle with breast cancer. What was once an uncommon diagnosis for a woman her age is now prevalent in even younger patients; as our culture accepts the use of dangerous chemicals, destructive diets and obsessive work habits that destroy your immune system. Although it is agonizing to witness this increased suffering from sickness, it is possible to forge a new path to health for yourself and society.

Amidst the steady suffering of disease, fatigue and burnout, Dr. Carnaham remains dedicated to compassion for herself and for others. Within her pain, she found that patients, like herself, are in desperate need of hope. Pain can be a profound teacher to those willing to seek meaning amidst their suffering. When facing death, you instinctually recognize the beauty of life and it is this lesson that Dr. Carnaham imparts to you.

Thyroid Health Solutions with Elle Russ - Navigating Individualized Thyroid Treatments and What to Avoid Jan 10, 2023

Show notes

Today on The Girlfriend Doctor, Elle Russ, author of The Paleo Thyroid Solution, joins us to discuss thyroid health. Elle has condensed years of knowledge from treating her own hypothyroidism to help women struggling to diagnose, treat or manage their thyroid health. Your Thyroid gland is integral to regulating everything from your sex hormones, metabolism and your endocrine system. Unfortunately, most conventional doctors are decades behind on the leading thyroid treatments and often make detrimental mistakes when treating patients.

You know your body better than any doctor could hope to with labs and testing. While there are general ranges for healthy hormones, every person has different needs that require specialized testing and individualized treatment. There is no "one size fits all" for thyroid treatment and many doctors are treating patients with an antiquated TSH protocol that is leaving patients in worse condition than they started at. If you feel worse after receiving hormone treatments, it's a good sign to stop and find a functional doctor who has a better understanding of thyroid health.

Sometimes, the simplest changes have a huge impact. Some patients may need permanent hormone replacements while others have cured Hashimoto's by detoxing and changing their diet. Ultimately, your health depends on your intuition and finding the right balance for you. In this episode, Elle teaches you everything you need to know to take your health into your own hands so you can detox, rebalance and start feeling whole again.

Nutrition and Mitochondrial Health - How to Detox Safely and Boost Your Immune System for Optimal Health with Sara Banta Dec 13, 2022

Show notes

On this episode of The Girlfriend Doctor, I discussed mitochondrial health with Sara Banta, owner of Accelerated Health Products, a line of natural supplements aimed at balancing your overall health. She is a health coach and biohacker, with her supplements you can bolster your immune system by giving your body everything it is not getting from the food you're eating. Mitochondrial health is critical to the health of your entire body and begins at the cellular level which is why supplements are so important when addressing any health issue.

Sara works synergistically with nutrition, lifestyle and her supplements, which focus on frequency enhanced detox that help your body get rid of the toxins overloading your system. Your body is a delicate ecosystem and can easily become dysregulated when exposed to common toxins used in daily life. Your liver is the detoxification pathway of your body and many foods that are staples of a healthy diet may actually be burdening your liver. By conscious eating and adding Sara's dynamic supplements you can expect to see a drastic improvement in overall wellness because whatever your ailment is, rebuilding that cell to cell communication will allow the body to self regulate and heal itself.

"HMB comes from leucine and leucine is what bodybuilders use to maintain their muscle mass but what they don't know is that only 3% of leucine turns into HMB and HMB is what prevents muscle wasting."[12:36]

"Iodine deficiency is connected to depression, to hypothyroidism, to toxicity and when we are talking about weight gain and those stalls, it could be because you're overloaded with toxins; so the best way to protect yourself is to be taking the right iodine and that will keep your receptor cells from holding onto those halogens and even EMFs."

Oral Health and The Microbiome - Why Dental and Medical Care Should Not be Separate with Dr. Campbell and Danny Grannick Dec 06, 2022

Show notes

On this episode of The Girlfriend Doctor, we sat down with Dr. Campbell and Danny Grannick, two pioneers who are uniting the world of dental and medical care today. Doctors are not trained to account for dental health when diagnosing patients, leaving many people vulnerable to Alzheimer's, Cancer, Infertility and a slew of other complications that are ultimately avoidable. Dr. Ellie Campbell has been working in family medicine for 30 years and is board certified by the American Academy of Integrative Medicine. Like most doctors, she was never addressing oral health with her patients until she witnessed the decline of a patient suffering from an unknown dental infection. Now, her stance is that absolutely no medical team is complete without an oral hygienist on staff.

Danny Grannick has developed an at home test kit ,using PCR technology, to give people insight into the microbiome of their mouth. Understanding the imbalance of microbes in your mouth gives your dentist and doctor the information to address infections, prevent further decay and even prevent disease. Dentists and doctors alike are waking up to the reality that our entire body is interconnected and the two practices can no longer remain separate, because in reality they are not.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

[6:00] No medical team is complete without a dental hygienist

[13:00] How Bristle's oral health testing is changing disease prevention

[19:30] Recognizing the signs of dental diseases and how to address it

[26:00] Why brushing and flossing are not enough to prevent oral decay

[31:30] Identifying the cause of cavities

[34:00] Safely removing heavy metal fillings

MEMORABLE QUOTE

"We are an ecosystem and we need to be in balance but our diet, our drinks that we consume, our breathing all affects what happens in our mouth, leading to the epidemic of disease that is identified in the mouth but has symptoms everywhere else in our body." [7:30] -Dr. Campbell

"Unfortunately many dentists are not enlightened to the fact that these periodontal bacteria can cause diseases outside of the mouth."[20:05] - Dr. Campbell

"Acidity in the mouth, not sugar, causes cavities." [23:46] -Dr. Campbell

"The idea is if you do these two simple things you shouldn't get oral disease but we know that's not true. Even people who do brush and floss twice a day, cavities and gum disease are the most prevalent diseases of the planet! They have been for the last 30 years." [26:00] -Danny Grannick
