  • High calcium in urine

    Would love to hear a link between hypercalcemia / hypercalcuria in relation to LOW PTH. Have been diagnosed with hypercalcaemia (and related bone stones, groans moans, psychiatric overtones) But my PTH is low. Research into why my PTH would be low with calcium coming out of bones - and its very likely from adrenal insufficiency. Long term chronic stress / childhood trauma has had me in a cortisol and blood sugar rollercoaster my entire life… neither friendly to bone.

    The content provided here should be top of mind for all of us!! Simply relying on our medical system as our North Star, is like relying on a drug dealer to help people get clean! The reality is that there is way more money in us being unhealthy.

    Thank you for doing your part to educate the masses.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dr. Jason Conviser: The Vibration Plate Habits That Build Stronger Bones
Q: How should clinicians determine device settings and progression for older adults or patients with balance concerns?
Start with a safe, low-frequency setting (30 Hz) and moderate amplitude (2-4 mm), using Tri-Planar motion when available. Progression should be individualized based on tolerance, balance, and functional goals, with intermittent exposure and ongoing teaching about movement patterns between bouts to improve autonomy and reduce risk.
ADHD, Hormones & Perimenopause: What Women Need to Know | Dr. Jolene Brighten Interview
Q: How does estrogen interact with ADHD, and why might medications seem to stop working during certain phases of the cycle or menopause?
Estrogen supports dopamine signaling; when it declines, medication responses can change. During the luteal phase, high progesterone and fluctuating estrogen can lessen medication effectiveness, and inflammation can further complicate neurotransmitter dynamics.
ADHD, Hormones & Perimenopause: What Women Need to Know | Dr. Jolene Brighten Interview
Q: Can you help me understand what's going on with ADHD in midlife women and why it seems more common now?
The increase is likely related to hormonal transitions, especially estrogen decline during perimenopause, which reduces brain energy and makes pre-existing vulnerabilities more apparent. Social factors and greater openness to discussing ADHD also contribute to more diagnosed cases.
Circadian Rhythm, Menopause, and Bone Health: What Most Women Miss [Dr. Deanna Minich Interview]
Q: How does circadian rhythm influence menopause and bone health?
Circadian rhythm primes hormonal systems through time cues like light and darkness, and disruptions can affect estrogen-related pathways, cortisol, thyroid function, and bone turnover. By optimizing light exposure, hydrating mornings, and maintaining regular eating times, the body's endocrine signals can stay synchronized, supporting bone health and reducing menopausal symptoms.
Dr Gabrielle Lyon: How Muscle Controls Aging, Metabolism, and Bone
Q: What is your protein recommendation?
I recommend a protein intake of 0.7 to 1 grams of target body weight per day, emphasizing the need for at least 100 grams of high-quality protein.
