  • Great Topics

    I thoroughly enjoy your podcast because you provide such great information. The speakers are knowledgeable and they appear to be prepared to share their wealth of knowledge with us. However, I feel that you interject way too much and we don’t get to hear all of that great information. Please don’t take this wrong; in my opinion, you’re doing an excellent job with bringing on great topics. I would like to hear more from your guests.

  • Essential listening for health

    No matter what your state of health, I find this podcast full of intelligent info to help women be their healthiest. Jenn is a compassionate and thorough interviewer. I’m 61 and I’m living my best life—part of that has to do with my informed use of hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hormones, Menopause, and the Cost of Saying No
Q: What should patients understand when considering bioidentical hormones versus synthetic options?
Bioidentical hormones have the same molecular structure as endogenous hormones and can be safer or more appropriate for some patients, but it's essential to distinguish them from synthetic progestins and to evaluate risks, benefits, and individual health history with a knowledgeable clinician.
Hormones, Menopause, and the Cost of Saying No
Q: Why is menopause treated like a disease by some clinicians, and how do you respond to that view?
Menopause is a hormone-deficiency state with wide-ranging symptoms and health implications; treating it as a natural transition can ignore the potential health risks and quality-of-life issues, while recognizing it as a condition that may require evidence-based management and individualized hormone therapy.
158 : IBS, finding and treating the root cause of irritable bowel syndrome
Q: What tests do you recommend for someone suspected of IBS?
Start with basic red flag screening to rule out inflammatory bowel disease or cancer. Then consider functional medicine tests like SIBO breath tests and comprehensive stool analyses (GI Map, Gut Zoomer) to detect infections, dysbiosis, enzyme deficiencies, and other contributors to IBS.
158 : IBS, finding and treating the root cause of irritable bowel syndrome
Q: What do you define as IBS and why do conventional labels miss the root cause?
IBS is often treated as a taxonomy of symptoms rather than a diagnosis pointing to a root cause. Many patients have underlying triggers such as infections, dysbiosis, thyroid issues, or food sensitivities that drive symptoms and long-term risk; addressing these triggers can change outcomes beyond symptom management.
154 : Between a Shot and a Hard Place: Vaccine Facts, Medical Freedom, and Trust in Medicine
Q: What should parents do if they have questions your doctors won't answer?
Seek out doctors who will engage in dialogue, read broadly from credible sources, and make decisions based on the best available evidence while reevaluating as new information emerges.
