Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Perimenopause Hormone Therapy: What Women Need to Know About HRT, Progesterone & Estrogen
Q: How do you actually know what's happening with your hormones in perimenopause?
You track symptoms and, since there aren't great perimenopause tests, rely on behavioral clues and labs like FSH to gauge where you are, understanding that levels can swing up and down month to month.
The Hidden Cause of Brain Inflammation Doctors Miss | Dr. Pejman Katiraei
Q: What is the starting place for addressing sensory sensitivities and inflammation in kids?
Start by assessing the level of sensory sensitivity as a barometer of inflammation, then work to calm the inflammation through a combination of dietary changes, supplements or medications as needed, and by eliminating environmental triggers such as indoor toxins.
The Hidden Cause of Brain Inflammation Doctors Miss | Dr. Pejman Katiraei
Q: How should parents approach testing when trying to figure out the cause of inflammation?
Testing can be informative but is limited; many tests miss brain-specific inflammation and biotoxins. A practical approach is to assess overall inflammatory markers, gut health, and environmental exposures, while using treatment response as a gauge to tailor interventions.
The Hidden Cause of Brain Inflammation Doctors Miss | Dr. Pejman Katiraei
Q: Can you explain PANS for people?
PANS stands for pediatric acute neuropsychiatric syndrome. It represents inflammation-driven neuropsychiatric symptoms in children, which may overlap with autism, ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental concerns, and can be triggered by infections or biotoxins rather than a single genetic cause.
Melatonin Benefits: Why Your Brain Needs Darkness for Better Sleep, Brain Health, and Healthy Aging | Deanna Minich
Q: What does this melatonin pause look like?
The guest describes a melatonin pause as a shift in circadian rhythm due to aging and lifestyle factors like shift work, with disrupted sleep signaling and the potential for targeted melatonin use to help reset rhythm while addressing root causes.
