Episode #317 with Dr. Anna Cabeca
Hey there, love the podcast. Love both of you.
In this podcast questions came in from a Canadian listener.
In your podcast today it was indicated by the Canadian listener that Dutch Testing is not available in Canada. I live in Canada and I have had Dutch test done through my Naturopath Clinic and know that it is readily available in Canada.
Another listener mentions that she cannot get a practitioner that can or will prescribe testosterone for her. Well again, I have been using compounded... more

Essential Oils as a biohack
Dr Zielinski is very passionate and pragmatic about essential oils and the usage. I learned a lot about the sense of smell and the importance of essential oils in our everyday lives. Melanie asked great probing questions and shared her personal experience as well!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#345 - Jolene Brighten: Beyond The (Birth Control) Pill, Is This Normal, Women’s Sexual Health Stigmas, How To Orgasm, Fertility Windows, Male Birth Control, Evaluating Necessary Medical Procedures, Finding The Right Doctor, And More!

Q: What should listeners consider when deciding whether to pursue endometriosis diagnosis or treatments?

Diagnosis can now be achieved with noninvasive imaging like ultrasound or MRI; once diagnosed, there is a push towards targeted excision surgeries rather than invasive, broad procedures, and patients should seek specialists who can offer precise, individualized plans and pain management.

Q: Why did male birth control trials stall, and what does that say about gender bias in medical research?

Early trials showed hormonal side effects in men similar to women, but investment dried up because men were less willing to participate; meanwhile, women faced continued development of other hormonal methods, highlighting systemic biases in research funding and marketing.

Q: What are the main mechanisms by which the birth control pill works, and what should people understand about its effects on the body?

The pill stops ovulation by flooding the brain with hormones, which keeps the ovaries from producing the hormones needed to release an egg; it also changes cervical mucus to block sperm and thins the uterine lining, reducing implantation risk—it's a multifaceted blockade rather than a single action.

#344 - Martin Magurno: Glow Coffee Launch, The Ideal Fasting Coffee, CGA Antioxidant Benefits, Coffee Mold & Pesticide Problems, Coffee Bean Types: Arabica Vs. Robusta, Speciality Vs Commodity Coffee, How To Grind Coffee, How To Brew Coffee, And More!

Q: Why emphasize lab testing and organic certification?

Lab tests provide a verifiable certificate of analysis for mold, mycotoxins, pesticides, and metals, and organic certification supports the baseline health and environmental standards, though lab testing confirms the actual quality of the batch.

Q: How do you approach roasting to maximize CGA while maintaining flavor?

We create roasting profiles and test them in the lab; the data showed that longer end temperatures reduce CGA, so we opted for light to medium roasts that preserve CGA while balancing flavor and body.
