Number #1 Reason Your Thyroid Medication Isn't Working
The connection between adrenal health and thyroid function is a crucial to understanding the broader spectrum of hormonal balance.

If you are left wondering why your Synthroid, levothyroxine or Armour thyroid aren't working, you should get tested for Adrenal Fatigue.

Hi, in this week's episode, I discuss vitamin deficiency anemia, which is widespread. Unfortunately, it's underdiagnosed due to a lack of testing and old-school lab ranges and interpretation skills.

The Dark Side of Counting Calories
Hi, I'm glad you're here!
Picture this: a meticulous counting of calories, logging every morsel of food that crosses your lips. It sounds disciplined, but here's the twist—it's overlooking the vibrant tapestry of nutrients that your body craves. A piece of chocolate cake might have the same caloric value as a colorful salad, but which one truly nourishes you?
The allure of extreme low-calorie diets can be tempting, promising rapid weight loss. But hold on—a diet of fewer than 1000 calories per day is a red flag for trouble. Your metabolism takes a hit, slowing down to conserve energy. The result? Lethargy, mental fog, and hormonal chaos. Let's face it, warriors need vitality, not exhaustion.

Breaking the Taboo: Why Women Fear Estrogen but Embrace Birth Control Pills
Hi!
Today, women have been taught to fear estrogen but not birth control pills. This does not make sense to me. Birth control pills contain synthetic estrogen and progestins that are foreign to the body, have endocrine disruptor effects, which make blood "thicker" which can lead to blood clots, hypertension and much more.

Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's menstrual cycle. It is officially diagnosed after a woman has gone a full year without a menstrual period.
Hormone imbalances related to menopause can have a significant impact on a woman's health and well-being. Hormonal changes can also increase a woman's risk for osteoporosis, heart disease, weight gain and other chronic health conditions. Additionally, some women may experience a decline in libido or other sexual changes due to the decrease in estrogen and testosterone levels. It's important for women to be aware of these potential changes and be able to speak to their partner with their concerns that arise during menopause.
