  • 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.

152: Part 2 | The Mammogram Is Off the Table, Here Is What a Former Breast Surgeon Recommends Instead with Ivy Harris
Q: What should the next steps be if someone is diagnosed with breast cancer?
The host emphasizes having a comprehensive health plan that combines conventional treatment with functional and integrative medicine to support overall health, minimize fear, and improve quality of life, rather than relying solely on aggressive treatments. This includes considering hormone management, lifestyle changes, and a focus on prevention and long-term well-being.
150: The Trauma You Carried for Decades Could Be the Root of Your Disease with Dr. Aimie Apigian
Q: First, just give us a high level about your background, about how you came to be in this space.
Aimie explains that her path began with personal trauma and a medical training focus that gradually shifted toward trauma work, including adoption and attachment experiences, which led her to study how trauma affects health and disease.
147: The Hidden Drivers of Alzheimer's Your Doctor Has Never Tested For with James Maskell
Q: What are the six essential buckets of root causes for cognitive decline, and how can measuring them lead to better outcomes?
Metabolic inflammation, nutrients/mitochondria, hormones, vascular health, intercellular communication, and biotoxin/biome factors are the six domains; measuring and addressing these causes allows clinicians to identify the primary driver in each patient and tailor interventions, leading to improved cognition in many cases.
147: The Hidden Drivers of Alzheimer's Your Doctor Has Never Tested For with James Maskell
Q: Tell me why is cognitive decline and diminishing cognitive decline so very important to you?
The guest explains his long-standing focus on reorganizing medicine around networks and his personal experience with his father's rapid cognitive decline, which inspired a shift toward a network-based, functional medicine approach that targets root causes.
143: The 5 Thyroid Tests That Change Everything and Why Your Doctor Only Runs One with Dr. Amie Hornaman
Q: What should we be doing beyond TSH when evaluating thyroid function?
We should test free T4, free T3, reverse T3, and antibodies (TPO and TGA) to get a complete view of thyroid status and autoimmune activity; reverse T3 is crucial for understanding if the body is inappropriately resisting or blocking thyroid hormone.
