548. Mastering Stress and Energy: Methylene Blue for Cancer, Thyroid, and Menopause Aug 05, 2025

Show notes

Methylene Blue, GABA, and What Your Mitochondria Actually Need

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Scott Sherr to unpack two of the most talked about tools in metabolic and brain health: methylene blue and GABA. If you’re dealing with supplement fatigue, burnout recovery, post-surgical healing, thyroid issues, or perimenopausal symptoms that no one seems to have answers for, this conversation is the reset you’ve been looking for.

We start with methylene blue and why it’s gaining attention, what it actually does at the cellular level, and how it supports energy, detox, and overall resilience. Dr. Sherr breaks down how to use it safely, what to look for in a quality product, and how to avoid common mistakes.

Then we shift into nervous system support, specifically GABA, and how it influences anxiety, sleep, and focus. Dr. Sherr shares his approach to calming down the stress response and why supporting both energy and relaxation is essential for long-term health.

We cover how these two tools can impact everything from mood and metabolism to brain clarity and hormone balance. If you’ve been trying to piece together a supplement plan that actually works for your body, and your life, this episode is designed to help you simplify and move forward with clarity.

547. The Perimenopause "Glass Ceiling" and ALL About Peri with Dr. Amy Killen Aug 01, 2025

Show notes

This episode is your straight-up crash course on perimenopause... what it is, how to know you’re in it, and what to do when your body starts rewriting the rules without your permission.

I’m joined by Dr. Amy Killen, who doesn’t sugarcoat a thing. Together, we unpack the early signs of hormonal shifts, the symptoms most doctors dismiss, and why perimenopause deserves real medical attention, not another vague suggestion to “just get more sleep.”

We get into the real reasons behind the mood swings, sleep disruption, joint pain, and motivation crashes. We cover which labs are worth running, how to interpret them, and why testosterone and progesterone matter long before menopause officially shows up.

We also talk through the decision-making process around hormone therapy, when to start, how to cycle it, and what the latest research actually says about safety, cancer risk, and long-term benefits.

If you’ve been told to wait until menopause to care about your hormones, this is your correction. No confusion, no guesswork, no being dismissed. Just the facts, the options, and the tools to make informed decisions that actually support your health.

This is the conversation you should’ve had years ago. Let’s get you caught up.

546. Mold, Lyme and EMF's Destroying Your Thyroid and What To Do About It with Dr. Jessica Peatross Jul 29, 2025

Show notes

Your thyroid isn’t lazy... it’s being ambushed. Mold, Lyme, EMFs, trauma, and a cascade of overlooked chaos are quietly hijacking your hormones, and most doctors are too busy Googling your symptoms to notice. That’s why I brought in Dr. Jessica Peatross, the go-to expert when the “standard labs” come back “normal” but you still feel like a zombie version of your former self.

We get into the nitty-gritty of why some bodies crash and burn while others breeze through black mold exposure. Nervous system dysregulation, generational trauma, sneaky infections, and the electromagnetic soup we’re all swimming in... yep, it’s all fair game. Dr. Jess breaks down how these layers stack up to push your thyroid off a cliff, and more importantly, how to claw your way back.

This isn’t just another “let’s detox everything and hope for the best” pep talk. We’re talking practical, actionable strategies, what’s actually worth testing, how to protect your body when you can’t escape your environment and why regulating your nervous system might be the most underrated move in your healing playbook.

If you’re sick of feeling like a tired mystery case with a cabinet full of supplements and zero answers, this episode is your permission slip to stop chasing symptoms and start reclaiming your energy with your thyroid, your sanity and your sense of power fully intact.

545. Conquering the Menopause Middle: Effective Fitness Routines for Women Over 40 Jul 25, 2025

Show notes

She's back....my friend Debra Atkinson, menopause fitness expert and strength training authority, to talk about what actually works when it comes to building muscle, leaning out, and staying strong through midlife and beyond. If you’ve been stuck in the cardio hamster wheel wondering why your body isn’t changing, this is your wake up call. We’re breaking down exactly why resistance training isn’t optional anymore, it’s essential for fat loss, metabolism, bone health and confidence as your hormones shift. This isn’t about working harder. It’s about working smarter, and getting real about the science behind muscle, aging, and results that actually last.

We also dive into the deeper stuff: how GLP-1 meds, HRT, and protein intake play into all of it, and why women need to stop avoiding the weight room like it’s some bro-only zone. Whether you’re a total newbie, feeling stuck, or just need a push to start lifting heavier, this episode clears the confusion and gives you the strategy you’ve been missing. No more fluff. No more guesswork. Just the truth about how to get stronger, leaner, and feel like a total powerhouse in the body you’re in. Grab the interval training guide below and let’s get to work.

544. Estrogen and Cancer: What Every Woman Should Know About Hormones and Detoxification Jul 22, 2025

Show notes

I finally get to dive deep with the queen of hormones herself, Dr. Carrie Jones! We’re breaking down estrogen dominance, estrogen detoxification and what all this really means for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, or recovering from hormone-driven cancers. If you’ve ever stared at your Dutch test results like they’re written in another language or questioned whether your hormone therapy is safe, this is the episode you need in your life. Carrie explains how estrogen is processed in the body, why detoxification matters for symptoms and long-term health (spoiler: it’s about way more than just estrogen), and why you don’t need to fear hormone therapy, even with a cancer history.

Carrie then unpacks the difference between estrogen dominance and bad detox pathways, how to test and interpret your results, the exact nutrients and supplements to help your system handle hormones like a pro, and why constipation is basically your mortal enemy when it comes to hormone health. We bust the myths on “bioidentical” versus synthetic hormones, discuss the hot debate on estradiol vs. estriol, and share real solutions if you’re tired of bloat, moodiness, or stubborn pounds. If you want actionable advice, up-to-date info, and want to make sense of hormone chaos, tune in now and start fixing what’s really driving your symptoms!

543. Brain Health Alert: Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Autism, Alzheimer's on the Rise. What Do We Do? Jul 18, 2025

Show notes

I'm joined once again by the brilliant Sara Banta for a discussion on brain health, and trust me, you don’t want to miss this one. We crack open why rates of depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism, and even Alzheimer’s are skyrocketing in our modern world. No, it’s not just “hormones”, it’s a tangled web of gut health, toxins, heavy metals, processed foods, and, believe it or not, little parasites controlling more than just your digestive tract. We’re not afraid to dig into topics like SSRIs and their hidden long-term risks. Get ready for raw statistics, real-life stories, and the truth about why so many of us (and our kids) are struggling with issues we didn’t see 30 years ago.

But I’m not leaving you swirling in stress, we’ve got solutions! We get practical, talking about targeted supplements, the undeniable gut-brain connection, and the absolute essentials you need to detox and fuel your brain for peak performance. We expose hidden threats in your “healthy” foods and break down realistic, actionable steps to reclaim your mind, your mood, and your quality of life, even if your thyroid’s already optimized. If you’re tired of band-aid fixes and want to future-proof your brain (or your kid’s), this episode is your biohacking blueprint.

541. An Answer for Hair Loss That Actually Works Jul 11, 2025

Show notes

I’m diving deep into the tricky, emotional world of hair loss, one of the top concerns I see from women in my clinical practice, right up there with weight and fatigue. I know firsthand how losing your hair feels like losing your sense of self, and how it can quickly take over every waking thought. So, instead of doling out the same old advice, I brought back my brilliant hair biology expert, Carolina Reis Oliveira from One Skin, to give you the REAL science behind what’s actually happening on your scalp and, more importantly, what works to fix it.

We break down everything you need to understand about the hair growth cycle, the actual root causes of hair loss... from hormone imbalances to genetic and stress-related triggers. Plus why targeting those “zombie” senescent cells in your scalp might be the biggest game-changer yet. Carolina shares fresh research and jaw-dropping clinical results from a peptide-powered scalp serum that’s finally moving the needle for real women. If you’re counting stray hairs in the shower, panicking at your expanding forehead, or just ready to stop hair loss before it starts, tune in for actionable steps and encouragement. I’m even testing it myself... my brows and all! This is your scientific, hope-filled guide to thicker, healthier hair at any age.

540. How Faith Plays a Pivotal Role in Healing with Monica Brant Jul 08, 2025

Show notes

In this powerful and faith-filled episode, I'm joined once again by the legendary Monica Brant, someone I've admired for decades in the fitness world, but who’s now become my cherished sister in Christ and go-to prayer warrior. We get real about how faith can radically transform your healing journey, whether you’re facing a major health crisis like cancer or navigating the daily battles of hormone imbalances and thyroid conditions. We go deep into why mindset alone isn't enough, and how, when you dig into scripture and actually bring your requests before the Lord, true healing and peace can follow, even if the process doesn't look like what you expected.

Monica and I discuss everything from breaking free of the “why me, God?” narrative to why praying for yourself is not prideful, but necessary. She shares her personal Bible study in a weighted vest routine, and we unpack practical ways to anchor your daily life and health in faith, gratitude, and scripture. Plus, I'm opening up about my own journey through thyroid disease and cancer, and why even the hardest moments can be divine gifts leading to deeper purpose.
