Hormonally Speaking

Hormonally Speaking

By Christine Garvin

As women, we’ve been taught SO LITTLE about our hormones, and yet they are the captain controlling the ship that is our bodies!

Not only do our hormones impact us physically, but they are the deciding factor in our mental health. And there are far too many of us currently suffering with debilitating stress, anxiety, and depression.

I’ve been lucky to meet some of the leading, cutting-edge hormonal experts in the game, and this podcast gathers them together to give you an incredible overview of your hormones, from head to soul.

Thyroid issues will end up impacting many women over their lifetime, especially as we make our way into perimenopause.

Today I'm talking with Dr. Heather Stone, who has helped thousands of women overcome their thyroid issues.

I'm so excited for you to watch this week's episode of Hormonally Speaking! My guest is my good friend and incredible Functional Medicine Practitioner Vashti Kanahele, who just released her book, "Passports and Parasites." In it, she details living in a variety of places around the world, from war-torn regions to warm, sandy beaches like Baghdad, Beirut, Phnom Penh, Lagos, and Curacao. While that all sounds very glamorous, she actually developed some major health issues along the way, eventually learning she had Lyme and Hashimoto's. We talk about her journey, and how she dealt with these very intense illnesses while being far away from her home base of the US. We cover: -Figuring out why she wasn't feeling well, and putting the pieces together to begin the healing process -What it took to come out on the other side of chronic illness -Why building community is so important, no matter where in the world you are living -Her work now to support other women with similar issues What's even more exciting is that she details the whole breathtaking, powerful, and inspiring journey in her new book, which you can grab here: https://amzn.to/3seEC1n.

Happy Halloween and almost Day of the Dead! For this week's episode, I had a chance to chat with my old friend, Ryan Dungan Hurd, who is a master dream researcher.

Ryan and I dive into all the fascinating ways that sleep paralysis and paying attention to/recording your dreams can impact your health, including: -What sleep paralysis is, and the myriad of ways it can show up -Facing your fears and processing your trauma -Spiritual experiences that can occur via paralysis -How the way you take care of your body during the day - and in the evening before bed - can impact not only sleep paralysis, but also your hormones -Sleep supports -Ways to use your dreams to help guide your health decisions in waking life And lots more!

Season 5, Episode 5: What Setting Boundaries Truly Looks Like & How To Implement Them In Your Life w/Lesley King

Season 5, Episode 5: What Setting Boundaries Truly Looks Like & How To Implement Them In Your Life w/Lesley King

There's a lot of talk today about needing to set boundaries in our lives, including how doing so (or *not* doing so) impacts our hormones. But what does that really mean? I find when I ask people what boundaries they have, or feel like they need to set in their lives, they don't have an answer. Which is why I had this discussion with Lesley King, who helps people find a new career in a year. She shares actionable ways to figure out next steps in your life (and these are easily applied to health & hormones too), including: -Understanding your patterns so you know how to change them -Learning what boundaries are - aka "giving people an idea of what you want and what you don't want" -Getting clear on what you want in a situation or in relationships -How important it is to celebrate your wins, even when you don't achieve the exact goal you set out to do -Creating safety by setting up "rules" Lesley King works with people who feel stuck and confused about what’s next. They don’t just want any job. They want an ideal career aligned with their values and desired lifestyle. She helps them find a new career in a year. Learn more at https://lesleykingempower.com.

Welcome to season 5 of Hormonally Speaking!

To kick off this season, I'm talking to Dr. Kela Smith, a hormone specialist who focuses on infertility.

This is such an important area, because infertility is running rampant in many parts of the world, and the answer isn't always IVF.

Dr. Smith and I deep dive into why infertility has become so common, and all the ways that we can support the body to overcome infertility naturally.

We cover:

-Why infertility is a symptom and not the "cause"

-How stress, toxins, and food all play a role in the infertility epidemic

-Utilizing functional lab tests in order to see what is going on in the gut, with hormones, and the ability to detoxify, which are all pieces of the puzzle

-Why it's so imperative to get really clear about what's not serving you

What I love about our discussion is that whether or not you are trying to conceive, Dr. Smith's advice is going to help improve your hormone situation. She is sharing the keys to hormone health!

And Dr. Smith was kind enough to share a FREE gift with you - His and Hers Fertility Meal Plan.

A lot of us might not think about the fact that our genes may be a part of our heavy periods or PMS, or fibroids or cysts. 

Or maybe you do, and you are irritated with your parents for the genes they passed down to you!

But in reality, it's not as simple as what you got from your parents. AND there's a lot you can do when you understand things like gene mutations, how metabolism and detoxification works in the body, and learning how your dietary and lifestyle choices impact those things. 

In other words, you have OPTIONS, once you know what is going on. 

This is what I'm chatting about with Christina Sanders, a board-certified nurse practitioner and a nutritional therapy practitioner with 23 years of clinical experience. She and I dive deep into how your genes are impacting your health and hormones. 

She breaks down the basics of how these systems work (I learned a TON!), and then we cover specific gene mutations like MTHFR and COMT mutations, which oversees estrogen and dopamine metabolism. 

This is fascinating stuff, so buckle up!

Christina Sanders is a board-certified nurse practitioner and a nutritional therapy practitioner with 23 years of clinical experience. She received her first bachelor’s degree from the University of Notre Dame and attained her second bachelor’s degree and her master’s degree from the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing.

(REPLAY) Season 1, Episode 23: How To Know You Have PCOS And What To Do About It w/Robyn Srigley, aka The Hormone Diva

What’s a far-too-common menstrual issue that’s not talked about nearly enough?

Well, there’s more than a few, but this one impacts an estimated 1 in 10 women:

Polycystic ovary syndrome, aka PCOS.

This common condition was something I had yet to cover on Hormonally  Speaking, so I was truly excited to bring on PCOS expert Robyn Srigley, aka The Hormone Diva.

During  our lively chat, we got down to exactly what classifies a woman as  having PCOS (which can unfortunately be tough to get diagnosed, even  with lab tests).

We also dive into Robyn’s four step method to  naturally level out your hormones, which includes addressing blood-sugar  balancing, mindset&stress, inflammation, and sex hormones  themselves (hint – birth control unfortunately will not regulate your hormones).

You’ll also get to hear Robyn’s powerful story, as she has faced all the ups and downs of PCOS since she was a teenager.

This  is interview is packed full of great information and tips if this is  something you currently deal with or think might be an issue.

Robyn Srigley is a Holistic Nutritionist and The  Hormone Diva. Robyn is the creator of Hormone Diva Society, an online  membership community for women with PCOS and Endometriosis to fix their  cycles and end fatigue without more drugs, surgeries or restrictive  diets. Robyn’s signature 4-Root Method used inside Hormone Diva Society  has not only reversed her own PCOS symptoms but has helped hundreds of  PCOS & Endo Divas around the world. You can find out more about her  work at her website.

_______________________________________

You've probably heard that stress impacts your menstrual cycle. And it might have gone in one ear and out the other because well, you gotta get things done. 

Problem is, if you are having issues with your period, your body hasn't been able to ignore the impact of stress. And those period issues are a direct result. 

Today, I break down for you exactly how stress is impacting your reproductive system via cortisol's (our stress hormone) affect on hormones like FSH, LH, and estrogen and progesterone. 

I also share with you not only the obvious ways you are stressed, but also the "stealth" stressors that you are probably missing, but they are having a HUGE impact on you, nonetheless. 

And if you want to understand more about estrogen, progesterone, FSH, and LH and how they all work together to make your cycle happen each month, join me for my free webinar next Wednesday, Nov. 3rd at 12pm EST where I break it all down for you. You can grab your spot here.

Here's some of the questions we answered in this episode:


-“Any specific ways to support my body and mind while heading into perimenopause?”

Think you know everything there is to know about perimenopause and menopause?

Either way, today's episode is going to BLOW YOUR MIND.

Get ready to be educated on:

-The misinformation and buzzword approaches to these phases of life, and how to tune out the noise

-It's not just about hormones: lipids, thyroid, bone health and more are impacted in peri and menopause

-Why it's so important to keep hormone receptors open, which means you might need to bring in BHRT earlier than you think

-Focusing on the right kind of diet and lifestyle approaches to maintain bone mass and energy for the rest of your life

-And so much more!

Get ready to take some notes, and throw out some ideas you had about this important time of life.

As both are themselves menopausal, they've refined the art and science of thriving as a midlife woman based on both clinical and personal experience. They combine individualized nutrition and lifestyle changes tailored to midlife women's needs with mindset coaching, lab testing and hormone replacement therapy education to help women thrive so that they can stop or prevent their health from spinning out of control.

Season 4, Episode 42: Why It's Important To Get BHRT That Is Clean And Highly Absorbable with Mary Beth Perrone of Radiate Wellness

Season 4, Episode 42: Why It's Important To Get BHRT That Is Clean And Highly Absorbable with Mary Beth Perrone of Radiate Wellness

There are lots of new products flooding the market to help women in perimenopause and menopause, especially bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.

But not all products are created the same. Unfortunately, many products on the market are full of ingredients that ultimately aren't good for our hormones because of the additives they contain. And when they are topical, this can be a major issue because as you'll learn today, our skin is our biggest organ!

In this episode, I talk with Mary Beth Perrone, co-founder of Radiate Wellness, a physician formulated product line that encompasses BHRT, sleep support, skin health, and anxiety support. You'll learn all about how these products can support you through the journey of both perimenopause and menopause.

We also cover:

-How perimenopause can arrive way earlier than you expect (and what to look for)

-Why you may need BHRT earlier than you think

-The importance of getting BHRT that is clean without tons of additives and preservatives

-How transdermal application can be superior to other forms of BHRT

-And much more!

Mary Beth Perrone’s passion for women’s topics is evidenced by her contributions to women’s health and wellness in many, many forms—physically, mentally and spiritually. Through her work as Co-Founder of Radiate Wellness, she supports women on their perimenopause and menopause with journey with clean, affordable products and services.

Figure out your Hormone Issue by taking our quiz.


Are you one of the women that have recently been diagnosed with or recognized that you have ADHD?


After so many years of the medical system focusing on boys for ADD/ADHD, in the last few years there's been a big realization that many girls and women have suffered with the condition silently.


That's because ADHD often looks very different in girls and women. And hormones are a part of that picture.


In today's episode, my guest Adele Wimsett and I dive into this fascinating intersection of ADHD and hormone health, and why, in particular, ADHD may begin to rear its head during perimenopause.


We talk about:

✨The importance of cortisol and insulin when it comes to working with ADHD

✨Hormonal fluctuations and how they exacerbate ADHD symptoms

✨How ADHD can show up for different women, and how to figure out best practices for yourself

✨The role that BHRT may play in leveling out ADHD sypmtoms in perimenopause

✨And so much more!


Considering that we are under so much stress and juggling multiple things everyday, it's no wonder so many women are finding out they have ADHD. This episode helps to guide you in the process of how to make it your superpower, instead of a constant struggle.


Adele Wimsett is a Women's Health Practitioner & Cyclical Living Expert.

Season 4, Episode 33: Using Qigong To Support Your Hormones & Share Your Story with Vicki Dello Joio

Season 4, Episode 33: Using Qigong To Support Your Hormones & Share Your Story with Vicki Dello Joio

Have you ever heard of Qigong? To put it simply, Qigong is a broad term that encompasses various styles and lineages of breath, visualization, and movement practices.

One of the key benefits of practicing Qigong is its ability to improve physical health and well-being. Research has shown that Qigong can help reduce stress, lower blood pressure, improve balance and coordination, and even boost the immune system.

Today, I am bringing on my dear friend Vicki Dello Joio to talk more about Qigong and her work in energy and trauma and how it affects the body. I met Vicki many years ago when I took her class as part of my Holistic Health Education masters program.

Her class was a turning point for me, as it solidified my interest in energy work and its connection to overall health and wellness. I knew then that I wanted to pursue this field further.

In the episode, we cover:

✨The basics of Qigong and how Vicki got into this practice.

✨The power of connecting to your body and mind.

✨How the feminine can rise within her power.

✨The importance of self-defense for women.

✨And much more on energy work and movement!


Vicki’s work in energy and trauma is incredibly important and often overlooked when it comes to hormones and health, I am so excited to have her here today to share her knowledge with all of you.


Vicki Dello Joio is a life-changing workshop leader, Qi (energy) master teacher and inspirational speaker. Since 1975, her brand of brilliance has empowered wellness-motivated and spiritually-inclined seekers to infuse body-mind-spirit practices into their very cells so they can tap into their birthright of joy — use it as a fuel not a goal — for a lifetime.

In addition, Vicki has drawn from decades of theater performance, directing experience along with her life-long study of martial arts to fire up visionary speakers to amplify their charisma and deliver their message with passion, presence, and power.

Her methods for both crafting stories AND her focus on the energy behind how they are told have touched and transformed hundreds of speakers to stand and deliver with joy, confidence, and ease.

Popular host of monthly program Qi Talks and a Hall of Fame-recognized teacher of the Chinese Art of Qigong by the Association of Women Martial Arts Instructors, Vicki’s “Spiritual Fitness” program and book, The Way of Joy, has transformed the lives of thousands of participants since 1975.

While talk therapy is incredibly valuable, sometimes it's not enough to just talk through our emotions and experiences.

Today, we're lucky enough to be joined by Maria Victoria Albina, a master certified somatic life coach, UCSF trained family nurse practitioner, and breathwork meditation guide. She's a true expert in this field and has helped countless individuals reconnect with their bodies and minds in order to break free from codependency, perfectionism, and people pleasing and reclaim their joy. What We Get Into: ✨The definition of codependency and why it matters to your health and relationships. ✨Balancing your nervous system and brain health and why this is so important.  ✨How somatic therapy brings us back into connection with our body so we can communicate with it and release what doesn't serve us. ✨Why what you say to yourself throughout the day matters. María-Victoria Albina (she/her) is a Master Certified Somatic Life Coach, UCSF-trained Family Nurse Practitioner and Breathwork Meditation Guide with a passion for helping humans socialized as women realize that they are their own best healers by reconnecting with their bodies and minds, so they can break free from codependency, perfectionism and people-pleasing and reclaim their joy.

Did you know that stress ultimately comes from the brain?
Yet we rarely focus on the brain when it comes to the root cause of not only stress and nervous system dysregulation, but long-standing pain in the body.

And we’re not referring to talk therapy here. There are specific brain exercises we can do to help process old trauma and rewire the nervous system. And they are so cool!

I talk all about it with Alyssa Chang, a neuroscience health coach who specializes in helping people connect with their bodies’ unique needs.

Neuroscience health coaching involves delving deep into the inner workings of our nervous system, including how it governs our thoughts, behaviors, feelings, and movements. By taking a brain-based approach to understanding trauma and how it affects us, we can learn to trust ourselves and live a life designed around our intuition and inner guidance.

What we discuss:

✨What vision therapy is and experience Alyssa walking Christine through an exercise

✨Why massage therapy won’t get to the root of musculoskeletal pain, and how to get rid of the issue permanently

✨How pain impacts us from a cellular level

✨What vestibular training is, and how it can help with things like balance

Whether you’re interested in learning more about neuroscience health coaching or simply want to take a step towards greater self-awareness and connection with your body, we invite you to join us for this exciting conversation with Alyssa Chang.

Alyssa Chang is a neuroscience health coach for those seeking a scientific, compassionate,and whole human approach to health and healing, so you can learn how to live a life designed with listening and attuning to your body’s unique needs.

Neuroscience health coaching involves deeply understanding the inner-workings of the nervous system and its role in how it governs the way we think, behave, feel in our body and move through the world.

A brain based approach allows us to deeply understand the way trauma has shifted our ability to embody intuition, access safety and trust ourselves while also providing us a path forward to heal and thrive.

Epstein has won several awards for her documentaries, including the  Audience Awards at Vancouver’s Amnesty International Film Festival and  Nashville Film Festival, as well as premiering at Sundance, Tribeca, and  SXSW festivals.  

We discuss her and her business partner Ricki Lake's latest movie, “The  Business of Birth Control”, which aims to shed light on the effects of  hormonal contraceptives and the need for newer and better options. The documentary was inspired by the book "Sweetening the Pill" by Holly  Grigg-Spall.  

We Cover So Much Including:  

✨How the film was not made to promote a specific ideology, despite what  some people think  

✨That it was difficult to find experts in the field who would speak out  against the status quo (but they still found some amazing ones!)  

✨The fact that modern medicine has often failed women, leading to poor  menstrual health, low body literacy, and high rates of endometriosis,  PCOS, fibroids, anxiety, and depression  

✨Why there is a need to evolve and develop solutions regarding women's  health and bodies, especially in terms of contraception and long-term  effects of medications 

✨And so much more good stuff!  

Our conversation was powerful, and one you don’t want to miss,  especially if you are currently on birth control, or have children that  are.  

You’ll also want to see the movie ASAP - especially since March 8 is  International Women’s Day - which you can stream here. Use code “HORMONALLYSPEAKING” at check out to get half off.  

ABBY EPSTEIN made her film directing debut at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival with the documentary, V-Day: Until the Violence Stops,  featuring Jane Fonda, Salma Hayek, and Rosie Perez. The film won the  Audience Award at Vancouver’s Amnesty International Film Festival and  premiered on Lifetime Television, receiving both an Emmy and a Gracie  Allen Award.  In 2007, she teamed up with Ricki Lake for their widely acclaimed  documentary, The Business of Being Born, which premiered at the Tribeca  Film Festival and was released by New Line Cinema/Netflix and broadcast  on Showtime. The film’s success led to their follow-up series, More  Business of Being Born, featuring Cindy Crawford, Alanis Morissette,  Gisele Bündchen and Christy Turlington plus a book, Your Best Birth, published  by Hachette.  Next, the duo teamed up for Weed the People, which premiered at the 2018  SXSW Film Festival and won the Audience Award at the Nashville Film  Festival. Weed the People was acquired by Netflix for distribution.  

Under their company, BOBB Films, Ms. Epstein and Ms. Lake produced the  documentaries Breastmilk and The Mama Sherpas and are currently in  production on The Business of Birth Control. Prior to her film work, Ms.  Epstein directed Broadway theater, helming national tours and  international productions of RENT and The Vagina Monologues.
