What if vaginal dryness, painful sex, a disappearing libido, and urinary changes aren't just "part of getting older"? In this episode, I'm joined by my dear friend Dr. Anna Cabeca, The Girlfriend Doctor, a triple board-certified OB/GYN and best-selling author of The Hormone Fix, to unpack the symptoms so many women quietly live with through perimenopause and menopause. Dr. Anna explains the vaginal microbiome (yes, your vagina has its own balance of good and bad bacteria), how it connects to your bladder health, and why doing nothing about these symptoms isn't the safe, neutral choice it seems.
We also get into the difference between local, topical hormone support and systemic hormone therapy, and why you may still have vaginal symptoms even if you're already on BHRT. Dr. Anna shares how topical DHEA may support vaginal and urethral tissue, why she's cautious about high-dose hormone pellets, and the everyday products and habits that can disrupt your vaginal health without you realizing it.
What you'll learn:
- Why vaginal dryness, painful sex, and incontinence aren't symptoms you just have to accept
- What the vaginal microbiome is and why it needs different bacteria than your gut
- How your bladder's microbiome, the urobiome, may play a role in urgency and leaking
- Why an off-the-shelf probiotic isn't the same as a vaginal and bladder-targeted one
- What everyday products and habits can quietly disrupt your vaginal health
- How topical DHEA may support vaginal, vulvar, and urethral tissue without raising blood levels
- Why you may still need local support even if you're already on BHRT
- What Dr. Anna sees with high-dose hormone pellets, and why she's cautious about them
Tune in to learn how to support your vaginal and bladder health so comfort and intimacy don't have to become a thing of the past.

What if the reason you keep ending up in the kitchen at night, eating when you're not even hungry, has nothing to do with willpower?
In this episode, I'm joined by Amber Romaniuk, who works with women on emotional eating, binge eating, digestion, and hormones, to unpack why food becomes the way so many of us cope with stress, quiet our thoughts, and take care of everyone but ourselves. Amber shares her own journey through binge eating, food addiction, and bulimia, and I open up about the disordered eating I went through during my bodybuilding years.
We also get into the differences between emotional eating, binge eating, bulimia, and food addiction, how cortisol, poor sleep, low progesterone, and thyroid issues can turn up the volume on cravings, and why the shame spiral after a binge can keep the whole cycle going. Amber shares what to do after a binge instead of restricting or over-exercising, what real progress looks like beyond the scale, and her honest take on fasting and GLP-1s when you're healing your relationship with food.
What you'll learn:
- Why emotional eating is rarely about willpower, and what may be driving it instead
- How repeating the same eating patterns can wire a habit pathway in your brain
- What separates emotional eating, binge eating, bulimia, and food addiction
- How high cortisol, poor sleep, and low progesterone can amplify cravings
- Why skipping meals with low thyroid function can set you up for nighttime overeating
- What to do after a binge instead of restricting, fasting, or over-exercising
- What progress looks like beyond the number on the scale
- Why Amber believes fasting and GLP-1s aren't the answer for healing your relationship with food
Tune in to learn how to break the emotional eating cycle and build a relationship with food that isn't driven by shame.

Notas del episodio
What if the reason you still feel exhausted, foggy, and stuck isn't your thyroid or your hormones on their own, but the fact that no one is treating them together? In this episode, I'm breaking down why your thyroid and your sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone) play in the same sandbox, and why splitting them between two providers who never talk to each other can leave you coordinating your own care. Consider this my public service announcement on hormones-in-a-box clinics, algorithm-based dosing, and what improperly managed hormones can mean for your health and longevity.
We also get into why you can't supplement your way to optimal sex hormone levels, why "within normal limits" isn't the same as optimal, and how oral estrogen can raise binding proteins like SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) and TBG (thyroid binding globulin), which may leave you feeling worse. I also share the exact questions to ask before you start hormone therapy, the red flags to watch for, and the training I look for in a hormone provider.
What you'll learn:
- Why your thyroid and sex hormones need to be treated together, not by two separate providers
- Why supplements and over-the-counter creams can only take you so far in perimenopause and menopause
- What "within normal limits" misses, and why a total testosterone of 40 may still be below optimal for women
- How oral estrogen can raise SHBG and TBG and affect your thyroid and testosterone
- Why estrone matters and why it's worth testing alongside estradiol
- Which questions to ask a provider before you hand over your money
- What red flags to watch for in hormones-in-a-box and pop-up hormone clinics
- Why you may still benefit from progesterone even if you don't have a uterus
Tune in to learn how to find a provider who knows which lever to pull when your body doesn't follow the textbook.

What if one of the most useful health trackers you could own wasn't on your wrist, but on your toilet? In this episode, I'm joined by Scott Hickle, engineer and founder of Throne, a camera that clips onto your toilet and tracks your gut health, hydration, and bathroom habits every time you go. We get into what your poop and pee can reveal about your health and what the Bristol Stool Scale (a 1-to-7 chart of stool form) actually tells you. We also cover why your memory of your own bathroom habits is far worse than you think.
We also talk about how Throne's AI helps you connect gut changes to stress, travel, food, supplements, or new medications like GLP-1s. Scott walks through what can throw off the readings, from blue toilet cleaner to vitamin B and methylene blue. He explains why embarrassment can keep people from getting checked for things like colon cancer. He also shares a surprising link between under-hydration, vasopressin (the hormone that helps your body hold onto water), and your blood sugar response, which I connect back to thyroid function and weight.
What you'll learn:
- What your stool form, color, and frequency can reveal about your gut health
- How Throne tracks hydration, bathroom habits, and urinary flow automatically
- Why your memory of your own bathroom habits is so unreliable
- How to run your own experiments with diet, supplements, probiotics, and GLP-1s
- What can throw off hydration readings, from vitamin B to methylene blue
- Why Scott believes embarrassment is a real risk factor for delayed diagnosis - How under-hydration may affect your blood sugar, thyroid, and weight
- What Scott says to look for in the toilet tomorrow, with or without a device If you've ever ignored what's happening in the toilet, this episode will show you why it's worth paying attention.
Tune in to learn what your poop and pee may be telling you about your health, and why it's worth paying attention to what's happening in the toilet.

What if Alzheimer's doesn't begin when you start forgetting things, but decades earlier, with your blood sugar, your waistline, and your hormones? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. David Perlmutter, Board-Certified Neurologist and author of Grain Brain and his new book, Brain Defenders, to unpack why your brain's future is something you can influence. We talk about microglia, the brain's own immune cells, how they shift from protecting your brain to damaging it, and why chasing beta amyloid may be missing the bigger picture.
We also get into how thyroid hormone, especially T3, fuels the mitochondria that help keep those immune cells supportive. We look at why the drop in estrogen during perimenopause may help explain why two-thirds of Alzheimer's patients are women. Dr. Perlmutter shares where he stands on hormone replacement therapy and testosterone and what the research says so far about GLP-1 medications and brain health. He also names the labs he wants everyone in their 30s, 40s, and 50s to know, including fasting insulin, A1C, and homocysteine.
What you'll learn:
- Why Alzheimer's may begin decades before memory loss shows up
- Why Dr. Perlmutter says carrying the APOE4 gene variant means predisposed, not predetermined
- What microglia are and how they shift from supportive to destructive
- How blood sugar, gut inflammation, and head trauma can all affect your brain's immune cells
- How thyroid hormone and your mitochondria work together to support brain energy
- Why falling estrogen during perimenopause may put women's brains at greater risk
- Where Dr. Perlmutter stands on hormone replacement therapy and testosterone
- What the research says so far about GLP-1 medications and the brain
Tune in to learn how to start protecting your brain now, long before any symptoms show up.

Gut health is about far more than bloating and constipation. In this episode, I’m joined by Laura Frontiero to unpack the overlooked ways gut dysfunction can show up, from fatigue and brain fog to skin issues, joint pain, sleep problems, and thyroid challenges. We also talk about why common gut protocols don’t always work and why the order in which you address gut health matters.
We connect the dots between the gut, thyroid function, nutrient absorption, hormone clearance, toxins, infections, and chronic stress. Laura also breaks down the four areas she looks at when working with gut health and why supporting the body before jumping into probiotics or other protocols can make such a difference.
What you’ll learn:
- Why gut problems don't always cause digestive symptoms
- Why probiotics aren't always the best place to start
- How gut health and thyroid function influence each other
- The connection between toxins and nutrient deficiencies
- What chronic stress has to do with gut restoration
- Why digestion and stomach acid matter for thyroid health
- How hormone clearance is connected to the gut
- Why the order of your approach matters
Tune in to learn how to recognize the less obvious signs of gut dysfunction, understand the connection between your gut and thyroid, and rethink the way you approach gut health.

What if the best biohacks are actually the simplest ones? In this episode, I’m breaking down the tools I genuinely believe are worth considering, from sleep, strength training, and pain management to cleaner air and water, red light therapy, sauna, and frequency-based technologies.
I also talk about where more advanced options like stem cells, exosomes, and PRP fit in, and the question I use to evaluate any biohacking tool: Does it actually help my body function better, or does it just give me more to track?
What you’ll learn:
- Why sleep is the foundation of biohacking
- Which simple environmental changes can make a difference
- What makes red light therapy worth considering
- Why pain relief and mobility deserve more attention
- Where sauna and frequency technologies fit
- What I think about regenerative therapies
- Why strength training may be the ultimate biohack
- How to know when a biohack is actually worth it
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the endless options, gadgets, and advice in the biohacking world, this episode will help you sort through what’s actually worth your time and attention.

Notas del episodio
What happens when biohacking stops being about improving your health and starts costing you money, creating more stress, and taking you away from your actual life? In this episode, I’m calling out the biohacking bullshit that has gone too far, from endless supplements and peptides to CGMs, cold plunges, expensive devices, whole-body MRIs, biological-age testing, and the pressure to constantly optimize another metric. Just because something is expensive, high-tech, or backed by some scientific mechanism doesn’t mean it is actually solving your problem.
I’m not anti-biohacking. I use some of these tools myself. The issue is what happens when we start using the 5% to avoid the 95% that actually matters: sleep, nutrition, movement, muscle, stress, relationships, and addressing underlying physiology. I break down the five questions I want you to ask before spending another dollar on a biohacking intervention and why the ultimate measure of health may have less to do with your readiness score or biological age and more to do with whether you have the energy and freedom to enjoy your life.
What you’ll learn:
- The hidden costs of taking biohacking too far
- How fear can drive unnecessary health spending
- When health tracking starts creating more stress than value
- What to consider before spending thousands on peptides, devices, or testing
- Why more data doesn't automatically mean better health
- How optimization can start interfering with food, family, and everyday life
- Why the basics still matter more than the latest biohacking trend
- The five questions to ask before trying your next biohack
If you’ve been caught up in the pressure to constantly optimize your health, this conversation will give you a different way to think about what is actually worth your time, money, and attention.

Notas del episodio
What does the research actually tell us about T2, the often-overlooked thyroid hormone? In this episode, I break down the science behind T2, from animal research on metabolism and fat browning to the limited human studies available, including a 2011 study that found changes in resting metabolic rate and body weight.
I also share the results of our own 14-week trial involving 14 women with different thyroid and hormonal profiles. We look at what happened, what surprised me most, how the findings influenced our dosing approach, and where more research is still needed.
What you’ll learn:
- Why researchers are interested in T2 and metabolism
- What animal studies have shown about T2 and fat browning
- What the limited human research tells us
- What happened in our 14-woman trial
- Why thyroid function made some of the results particularly interesting
- What the findings changed about our dosing approach
- What we still need to learn about T2
There’s a lot to be curious about when it comes to T2, but the research matters. Tune in as I walk through what we know, what we’ve seen firsthand, and what still needs to be studied.

Notas del episodio
Perimenopause can change everything from your energy and sleep to your metabolism, hormones, and libido, but the answer isn’t always another supplement or protocol. In this episode, I’m joined by Bria Gadd, the Period Whisperer, to talk about what’s happening in the body during this transition and why so many women feel like their old strategies suddenly stop working.
We talk about Bria’s “health debt” concept, building the right foundation before adding hormones or peptides, the role of progesterone, nutrition, fasting, strength training, and how to know when it’s time to look deeper. It’s a practical conversation about working with your body instead of constantly trying to push through it.
What you’ll learn:
- Why your old strategies may suddenly stop working
- The connection between perimenopause and “health debt”
- What to prioritize before hormones or peptides
- Where progesterone fits into the conversation
- Why more exercise isn’t always the answer
- How nutrition needs can shift in midlife
- When testing can help you stop guessing
If you’re in the middle of perimenopause and wondering why your body suddenly seems to be responding differently, this conversation will help you think about what to address first — and what may not be worth adding yet.

Notas del episodio
Ladies, biohacking is out. Biosyncing is in. In this conversation, Angela Foster and I explore what it really means to optimize your body after 40 by working with your biology instead of constantly trying to hack, restrict, or push it harder. We talk about the invisible mental and physical load women carry through perimenopause and menopause, and how stress, changing hormones, metabolism, sleep, and recovery can all intersect.
We also get into the practical side of biosyncing, from protein and carbohydrates to bloating, HRV, exercise, and the wellness trends that may be getting more attention than they deserve. Rather than adding another complicated list of things to optimize, Angela shares how to understand what your body is asking for and focus on the changes that can create the biggest impact.
What you’ll learn:
- Why the “invisible load” can have such a significant impact on how women feel in midlife
- What changes during perimenopause that can make old weight-loss strategies less effective
- How to find your personal “domino” instead of trying to change everything at once
- The different factors that can contribute to midlife belly bloating and distension
- Why under-fueling and excessive restriction can work against energy, recovery, and metabolism
- How HRV can help you understand your capacity for stress and exercise
- Why Angela prefers “bio syncing” over constantly trying to hack your biology
- Which simple, free tools may be more valuable than another wellness gadget
Tune in for this conversation about working with your body, not constantly fighting it.

Notas del episodio
Iodine is essential to thyroid function, but the form and quality of the supplement you choose can matter just as much as the iodine itself. In this episode, I break down four common options you may find on the shelf: kelp, Lugol’s, Iodoral, and nascent iodine. I explain the concerns I have with inconsistent dosing, potential heavy metal contamination, fillers, and the difficulty of starting with a low enough dose, as well as why I believe consumers should look beyond labels like “natural” or “organic” and ask for testing of the finished product.
I also address one of the biggest questions surrounding iodine: what about Hashimoto’s?
I explain why I chose nascent iodine for Iodine Fixxr and what I was looking for when comparing different forms, including adjustability and a simple ingredient list. By the end, I give you a practical checklist for evaluating an iodine supplement, from its source and chemical form to finished-product testing and dosing flexibility.
What you’ll learn:
- Why the source of an iodine supplement can raise questions beyond simply how much iodine it contains
- What makes kelp-based iodine different from purified iodine options
- Why a Certificate of Analysis should be for the finished product, not just the raw ingredient
- The dosing challenge with Lugol’s and Iodoral, especially when starting low
- What distinguishes monoatomic nascent iodine from diatomic iodine
- Why iodine discussions involving Hashimoto’s require more nuance than a simple “avoid iodine” rule
- How selenium, gradual dosing, and thyroid monitoring fit into the conversation
- The questions to ask before choosing an iodine supplement for yourself

Notas del episodio
What do we really know about glyphosate, one of the most widely used chemicals in our environment, and what happens when it gets into the body?
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Stephanie Seneff, a senior research scientist at MIT, to talk about glyphosate and its potential impact on our health. We discuss what glyphosate may be doing to the gut microbiome, intestinal permeability, inflammation, thyroid function, and the body’s ability to process nutrients. We also explore the connections Dr. Seneff sees between glyphosate exposure and conditions including celiac disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and more.
Then we shift to the practical side: How are we exposed, and what can we actually do about it? Dr. Seneff shares her perspective on fermented foods, probiotics, sulfur, organic foods, sunlight, sauna, and deuterium-depleted water, along with the science behind why she believes these things matter.
What you’ll learn:
- How glyphosate may affect the gut microbiome
- The connection between glyphosate and leaky gut
- Why sulfur may be so important to our health
- How glyphosate exposure happens even when you don't use Roundup
- What glyphosate may have to do with thyroid health
- Dr. Seneff’s approach to reducing exposure
- Why fermented foods and probiotics matter
- What deuterium has to do with all of this
If you’re interested in understanding the environmental factors that may be affecting our health, I highly recommend hitting play on this episode.

Notas del episodio
What if the biggest problem with your health isn’t a lack of medication, but a lack of answers? In this episode, I’m joined by compounding pharmacist Shawn Needham for a candid conversation about medications, hormones, weight loss, and the healthcare system. We talk about GLP-1s, thyroid treatment, natural desiccated thyroid, and why Shawn believes the basics of sleep, diet, and exercise matter more than any “magic” drug.
We also talk about supplements, lab testing, statins, cholesterol, and what Shawn has learned from running a pharmacy outside the traditional insurance model. It’s a conversation about asking better questions, understanding your options, and becoming more informed about your own healthcare.
What you’ll learn:
- Why Shawn puts sleep, diet, and exercise first
- His concerns about GLP-1 medications
- What you should know about T4 vs. T3
- Why thyroid treatment may need to be personalized
- Where supplements and testing can go too far
- What pharmacists see that doctors may not
- Shawn’s biggest healthcare myth
If you’ve ever felt frustrated by a “normal” lab result, questioned whether your medication is actually addressing the root of the problem, or wondered if there’s a better way to approach your health, you’ll want to tune into this episode.

Notas del episodio
What happens to estrogen after your body has used it, and why does proper metabolism and elimination matter? In this bonus episode, I sit down with David Roberts and molecular biologist Dr. John Gildea to discuss estrogen metabolism, sulforaphane, inflammation, detoxification pathways, and the research connecting these processes to cancer and overall health.
We also talk about environmental estrogens, endocrine disruptors, microplastics, and what we can realistically do to support the body's natural detoxification systems. Along the way, David shares what led him to study sulforaphane after his wife's cancer diagnosis and what their research has found about its potential effects on cancer cells.
What you’ll learn:
- How your body metabolizes and eliminates estrogen
- Why Nrf2 and NF-kappa B matter
- What sulforaphane may do in the body
- The connection between inflammation and detoxification
- What we know about sulforaphane and cancer research
- How microplastics and xenoestrogens affect the conversation
- Why lifestyle still matters alongside supplements

Notas del episodio
A thyroid nodule may be small, but being told to simply “watch it” can leave you with a lot of unanswered questions. In this episode, I’m taking a closer look at thyroid nodules and goiters, what they actually are, why they develop, and why a normal TSH does not necessarily tell us the whole story. I break down the difference between thyroid function and thyroid structure, when an ultrasound may be appropriate, what symptoms and risk factors deserve closer attention, and why not every nodule automatically means cancer, a biopsy, or surgery.
What you’ll learn:
- Why a “normal” thyroid result may not answer the question you actually need answered
- The important distinction between a thyroid nodule and a goiter
- Which signs can turn a seemingly harmless finding into something worth investigating
- What your ultrasound can reveal that bloodwork simply cannot
- The surprising factors that may influence thyroid tissue growth
- Why some nodules behave very differently from others
- What goes into deciding whether a biopsy is actually necessary
- The bigger question you should be asking after you hear the word “benign”
If you’ve been told you have a thyroid nodule or goiter, or you’ve been left wondering why your thyroid is changing when your labs look “normal,” I want you to listen to this episode before you simply accept “watch and wait” as the end of the conversation.

661. Before You Give Up on Your Health: The Missing Link to Joy, Healing & Health

Notas del episodio
I’m joined by my dear friend Kristin Weitzel for a conversation about psychedelic-assisted therapy, trauma, nervous system regulation, and what it can look like to create meaningful change from the inside out.
Kristin brings more than 15 years of experience in breathwork, nervous system regulation, health optimization, and integration work, and she shares what led her from supporting plant medicine ceremonies to becoming a facilitator herself. We talk about the resistance many people have around psychedelics, including the belief that they do not have “big enough” trauma to address, and why the patterns formed through childhood experiences, relationships, environment, and other life experiences can continue to influence how we respond to the world.
I also share what came up during my own journey with Kristin, including a traumatic experience involving my father that I had learned to move through rather than fully process. Kristin explains how slowing down, noticing the body's responses, and creating enough nervous system regulation can allow difficult experiences to be approached differently.
What you’ll learn:
- Why trauma does not have to involve one major event to influence your patterns and behaviors
- How experiences from childhood can continue to shape the nervous system long after the original event
- What a simple body scan can reveal about your current emotional and nervous system state
- What Kristin's own journey taught her about the therapeutic potential of psychedelic work
- What to consider when deciding whether a facilitator is someone you can genuinely trust
- Why integration may be just as important as the psychedelic experience itself
- How breathwork, cold exposure, nervous system regulation, and other tools can fit into the broader process of personal growth

Notas del episodio
What if the missing piece of your health isn't another supplement, medication, or protocol, but something your body has been communicating with all along: light? In this episode, I sit down with Gary Kiss, founder of Allume, to dive into the world of biophotons and the idea that our cells don't just rely on chemistry and hormones, but also communicate through light. We talk about what biophotons are, why the thyroid and nervous system may be particularly responsive to light, and what Gary believes happens when our bodies are exposed to constant artificial light, EMFs, environmental toxins, stress, and a lack of grounding.
What you’ll learn:
- Why your cells may be communicating in a language you can't see
- What the light surrounding healthy and unhealthy cells may reveal
- The surprising connection between your thyroid, mitochondria, and light
- What modern technology may be doing to your body's signaling system
- Why Gary says we've become "biologically mismatched" with our environment
- The relationship between your nervous system, biofield, and the information around you
- Why getting more sunlight may be only part of the equation
- How Gary's approach attempts to bring more biophotonic light into everyday life

Notas del episodio
What if the reason you're struggling to lose weight in midlife isn't that you need more discipline, more cardio, or another restrictive diet? In this episode, I sit down with Danielle Kepics, a physician assistant turned functional health practitioner, for a very honest conversation about what can actually be happening in a woman's body during perimenopause and menopause. We talk about how hormonal changes can affect weight, why years of dieting and over-exercising may be working against you, and why the basics of nutrition, strength training, recovery, and metabolic health still matter.
We also get into some of the bigger questions surrounding women's healthcare, including how hormones are approached in conventional medicine, where GLP-1 medications fit into the picture, and why Danielle believes they should be used thoughtfully and with proper support rather than as a replacement for foundational habits.
What you’ll learn:
- Why doing more isn't always the answer when you're struggling with weight loss
- What actually changes physiologically during perimenopause
- How years of dieting and excessive exercise can affect metabolism and recovery
- Where strength training, protein, and adequate nutrition fit into midlife health
- Why Danielle believes GLP-1s should be viewed as a tool rather than a substitute for the basics
- What thyroid, gut health, nutrient status, and sleep may have to do with weight-loss resistance
- Why airway and sleep issues can be easy to overlook in women experiencing fatigue and metabolic changes
- How hormones and foundational health habits can work together rather than being treated as separate issues
If you've been doing everything you think you're supposed to do and still don't feel like your body is responding the way it used to, this conversation is worth hearing.

Notas del episodio
We usually hear about GLP-1 medications in the context of appetite and weight loss, but there’s a lot more happening behind the scenes, especially when it comes to the gut. In this episode, I’m looking at what we know about GLP-1s and gut health, from inflammation and the intestinal barrier to the microbiome, bile acids, and the gut-brain connection. I also share my own experience with bloating and why my perspective on GLP-1s is decidedly not “they’re either amazing or terrible.”
What you’ll learn:
- How GLP-1s may affect your gut beyond appetite and weight loss
- What inflammation has to do with metabolic and gut health
- What Akkermansia is and why everyone suddenly seems to be talking about it
- How GLP-1s may influence the intestinal barrier and microbiome
- Why some people feel better on GLP-1s while others feel worse
- What the research says about GLP-1s and IBD
- Why more medication isn't necessarily better
- Where the science is promising, and where we still need more answers
If you’ve been wondering what GLP-1s are actually doing inside your gut, tune in!

Notas del episodio
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Tracey Steady Hardcastle, Clinical Director of The DNA Company, to talk about what our genetics can actually tell us about our health. We use my own genetic report as a real-life example, looking at why people can respond so differently to thyroid medication, hormone therapy, nutrition, and lifestyle changes, and why a more personalized approach matters.
Dr. Tracey walks through some fascinating findings from my report, including estrogen metabolism, thyroid hormone conversion, detoxification, methylation, stress, and genetic risk. We also talk about what genetic testing can and can't tell us, and why having a genetic predisposition doesn't mean a particular health outcome is inevitable.
What you’ll learn:
- Why the same treatment can affect two people very differently
- What your genetic “blueprint” can reveal about your health
- What my DNA report showed about estrogen and thyroid hormones
- The role genetics can play in detoxification and methylation
- How stress can interact with your genetic makeup
- What ApoE and other genetic risk markers really mean
- Why your genes aren't necessarily your destiny
If you’ve ever wondered why the same treatment doesn’t work for everyone, struggled to find the right approach to your thyroid or hormones, or simply wanted to understand what your own genetics might be telling you, tune in to this conversation with Dr. Tracey Steady Hardcastle.

What if one wellness tool could support energy, recovery, detoxification, and healthy aging by working with your body's own biology? Would you use it? In this episode, I'm joined once again by Connie Zack, co-founder of Sunlighten, for a conversation about infrared sauna therapy and the science behind the different wavelengths of infrared light. We break down the differences between near, mid, and far infrared, why each one affects the body differently, and why understanding the "why" behind a therapy can help you use it more intentionally.
What you’ll learn:
- Why near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths are not interchangeable
- How infrared light interacts with mitochondria and why that matters for energy
- The difference between red light therapy and infrared sauna therapy
- What is actually happening in the body during infrared-supported detoxification
- Why different sauna programs are designed for different health goals
- How to fit infrared sauna sessions into a busy schedule, even if you only have a few minutes
- What makes infrared sauna sweat different from exercise or traditional sauna sessions
- How I incorporated infrared sauna into my own recovery and long-term wellness routine
If you're looking for a better understanding of the science behind infrared therapy and how it may fit into a broader wellness strategy, tune in and don’t miss the special offer at the end!

Notas del episodio
Collagen has become one of the most popular supplements on the market, but are all collagen products actually doing what their labels promise? In this episode, I break down what collagen does inside the body, why natural collagen production declines with age, and how thyroid function, estrogen, and menopause all influence the way your body maintains healthy skin, joints, muscles, and connective tissue. I also explain why the type of collagen listed on the label may not be the most important factor when you're deciding which product to buy.
What you’ll learn:
- Why collagen production begins declining earlier than many people realize
- How thyroid hormones and estrogen influence collagen production
- The difference between hydrolyzed collagen and bioactive collagen peptides
- Why collagen "types" may not be the most important thing to look for on a label
- How targeted collagen peptides are designed to support skin, joints, or muscle differently
- What the current human clinical research says about specific collagen peptides
- The biggest red flags to watch for when shopping for a collagen supplement
- Why consistency, dosage, and resistance training all play a role in collagen results
If you've ever wondered whether collagen is worth taking—or how to separate marketing claims from the available research—this episode is a must listen!

Notas del episodio
Breast implant illness is a topic that raises strong opinions, but in this conversation I wanted to move beyond fear and focus on thoughtful questions. I sat down with functional nutrition practitioner Michele Scarlet to hear her personal story—from loving her breast implants for years to eventually connecting them with persistent digestive issues, hormone imbalances, inflammation, and unexplained symptoms that didn't improve despite doing "all the right things." We talk about what led her to have her implants removed, what changed afterward, and why she believes her recovery involved much more than surgery alone.
What you’ll learn:
- Michele's personal journey from cosmetic surgery to breast implant illness
- The symptoms that prompted her to question whether something deeper was going on
- Why improving metabolic health was an important part of her recovery
- How functional testing can help identify patterns beyond standard blood work
- What to consider before deciding on breast implants—or an explant procedure
- The "rain barrel" analogy for understanding toxic load and why it matters
- Why some women feel dramatically better after explant surgery while others continue to struggle
- How to approach health decisions without relying on fear or one-size-fits-all answers

Notas del episodio
In this follow-up to my brutally honest beauty conversation, I'm sharing what happened after living with the Neogen plasma treatment for several more weeks and how my perspective has evolved now that I've had time to see the results. I’m sharing what actually changed in my skin, why I believe certain treatments deliver more meaningful improvements than others, and how I'm thinking about collagen stimulation, skin quality, and long-term aging differently than I did before.
I also answer some of the questions that came in after Part 1 by talking openly about my facelift, under-eye procedures, fillers, fat transfer, and what I wish more people understood before making cosmetic decisions.
What you’ll learn:
- Why my opinion of the Neogen plasma treatment changed after several more weeks of healing
- How collagen-building treatments compare to procedures that remove the skin's surface
- The role hydration and mitochondrial health may play in healthy-looking skin
- Why I believe choosing the right provider matters more than choosing the latest procedure
- My honest experience with facelifts, recovery, and managing expectations
- When fillers can enhance natural features—and when they can work against them
- Why fat transfer has become part of my long-term approach to facial aging
- The questions I think everyone should ask before committing to cosmetic treatments
If you're considering aesthetic treatments or simply want a thoughtful conversation about aging, skincare, and cosmetic procedures, I hope you'll join me for this episode.

Notas del episodio
After experiencing my own guided plant medicine journey, I wanted to have an honest conversation about what actually happened, what surprised me, and the questions I still had afterward. In this episode, I'm joined by Mike Zeller to discuss the current landscape of psychedelic-assisted therapy, how it differs from common misconceptions, and why it's receiving growing attention for trauma recovery, nervous system regulation, and personal growth. We also talk through the importance of preparation, working with experienced practitioners, and why these experiences are about much more than the substances themselves.
What you’ll learn:
- Why psychedelic-assisted therapy is being discussed alongside advances in trauma treatment
- How a guided therapeutic experience differs from recreational drug use
- The role the nervous system may play in chronic stress, pain, and emotional patterns
- Why some people carry long-standing emotional responses without realizing it
- How preparation, safety, and integration influence the overall experience
- The questions skeptics commonly ask—and how Mike responds to them
- What surprised me most during my own guided sessions
- Why personal growth isn't only about addressing major trauma
If you've ever wondered how much of your health is shaped by your nervous system, past experiences, or the patterns you don't even realize you're carrying, I think you'll find this conversation worth exploring.

What if the way we think about food has been shaped by forces most of us have never considered? In this episode, I sit down with Patrick Sullivan Jr. and Ashley Leroux Sullivan, the founders of Jigsaw Health and creators of the documentary Breaking Big Food, to talk about how our modern food system evolved, why ultra processed foods became so prevalent, and what those changes may mean for our long-term health.
We discuss the historical influence of major corporations, the economics behind food production, and why so many people are left feeling overwhelmed when they try to make healthier choices.
What you’ll learn:
- Why the story of Big Tobacco's entry into the food industry still matters today
- How "hyper-palatable" foods are designed to keep us coming back for more
- The hidden ingredients that can show up in foods you might assume are healthy
- Why reading ingredient labels may be one of the most valuable habits you can build
- The role government subsidies play in shaping the foods that fill grocery store shelves
- How small, realistic food swaps can have a meaningful impact over time
- Why supporting local farmers and businesses may be part of the solution
- How Patrick and Ashley hope to inspire healthier communities through Breaking Big Food and their own local initiatives
Tune in to hear their story, learn more about Breaking Big Food, and explore what you can do to make more informed decisions for yourself and your family.

Notas del episodio
GLP-1 medications continue to dominate conversations about weight loss and metabolic health, but I think it's time for a more thoughtful discussion. In this episode, I step back from the headlines and explore both the promise and the uncertainty surrounding these medications. Using an unexpected comparison from the FX series The Beauty, I talk about why it's worth asking hard questions whenever a new treatment gains widespread popularity. We discuss what we know so far, what we don't know yet, and why it's important to weigh both the benefits and the unknowns before making personal health decisions.
What you’ll learn:
- Why a fictional TV series sparked a conversation about real-world medical decision making
- The difference between what current research supports and what remains unknown
- When GLP-1 medications appear to provide the greatest benefit
- Questions worth asking before trying the newest weight loss medications
- Why dosage and lifestyle may influence both results and side effects
- How I personally think about balancing potential risks with potential benefits
- Why long-term data matters more than short-term success stories
- The role of nutrition, movement, and metabolic support alongside any medication
If you're trying to decide whether a GLP-1 is the right fit for you, or simply want a balanced perspective that acknowledges both the evidence and the unanswered questions, I hope you'll join me for this conversation.

649. If Nothing Has Worked, Try This: The Keto Flex Protocol for Women, Hormones & Hashimoto's with Ben Azadi

Notas del episodio
What if weight loss isn't something you force, but something that happens when your metabolism starts working the way it was designed to? In this conversation with Ben Azadi, we talk about why ketosis is a metabolic process—not a lifelong diet—and why learning to move in and out of that state may be a more sustainable approach than staying there indefinitely. We discuss Ben's own transformation from obesity and prediabetes, why metabolic flexibility matters, and how inflammation, insulin resistance, thyroid health, and hormone balance are all connected.
We also spend time on the questions so many women ask: Should women fast differently than men? How should keto change before and after menopause? Can you use a GLP-1 medication without addressing the underlying lifestyle factors that created metabolic dysfunction in the first place? Ben explains the thinking behind his Keto Flex approach, including practical strategies for easing into ketosis, avoiding common mistakes, and adapting the plan to different stages of life.
What you’ll learn:
- Why ketosis is a metabolic process rather than simply another diet
- How metabolic flexibility differs from staying in ketosis all the time
- Why women often need a different fasting and keto approach than men
- The connection between insulin resistance, inflammation, thyroid function, and weight loss
- Common reasons people struggle with keto—and how to make the transition easier
- How to think about GLP-1 medications as one tool within a broader health strategy
- Why preserving muscle is just as important as losing body fat
- What current research suggests about ketosis and therapeutic applications, including cancer care
If you're looking for a more practical and sustainable way to think about metabolism, this conversation is a great place to start.
