The founders of Needed saw this as a big problem and I couldn’t agree more! But Needed quickly became a bigger solution to a bigger problem by providing more options for moms and moms to be. Women need so much support during the time from thinking about getting pregnant all the way to having little ones and so often they are left with options that don’t address their needs (prenatals that have nutrients in the wrong forms or that they can’t take due to nausea) or they are left with low energy, anxiety or even colds/flus while they are pregnant or nursing because there aren’t natural products that are considered safe during these times. Needed solved all of these problems as well as created a community of no-guilt, education and support for new moms and moms to be.

Dr Brooke Show #395 Why Do I Feel Bloated?

For more info on how I can help you, visit BetterByDrBrooke.com. Recently, I had that experience we’re all looking for: the satisfaction of seeing that hard work we put in on ourselves show up in a very real way in my life. I have explained the 5 Different Stress Responses in an episode from spring 2023 and last week in spring of 2024 I saw my understanding of this really kick into action - and it was brilliant! I saw my traumatic stress response of fawning in full force play out before my eyes and because of knowing these various types of stress responses and what triggers them I was able to not go too far down that road, resolve the stress in my body and make a better choice with my stress response. A choice that left me more empowered, able to be more gentle on myself and move forward in a productive way - and you can learn this too! Understanding these various stress responses is key in making cha+nge to how stress impacts us and this goes far beyond traditional ideas of “stress management” - these are stress skills. Skills that will actually change how you respond to and experience stress - and that helps all of your hormones!

For more info on how I can help you, visit BetterByDrBrooke.com. NAD supplements are all the rage in the anti-aging and longevity community, but just how effective are they? As well, if you compare various products there are a variety of ingredients and you might be wondering which are the most effective. I wanted to invite Dr. Gregory Kelly, ND from Neurohacker Collective on the show to take a deep dive into how boosting NAD levels is helpful for us in healing and aging as well as to really look at these supplements and understand how ingredients like NMN, NR and vitamin B3 perform in these NAD boosting supplements. We covered how well these absorbed, when to consider dosing these nutrients, what to look for in your NAD boosting products and how to know if taking them translates to you feeling and aging better. It was a great discussion! Neurohacker is a long time partner of the Dr. Brooke Show so of course I also wanted Dr. Kelly to take an in depth look at their NAD+ product (the one I take!) that he helped formulate so we covered this formula as well!

You may have heard lately that it’s not a “lower metabolism” that causes weight gain and more body fat around the middle during midlife. While this may be what research is showing us as not a mechanism, many of us have found our pants are indeed not fitting so great so what IS causing the weight gain? Is it hormone changes or slack habits? Is it something we need to take HRT to get on top of? What exactly will the popular fitness advice of eating enough protein and lifting weights really do for our mid-life bodies? I cover exactly what the shifts in hormones do to your motivation, mood and metabolism in this episode as well as the one thing NO ONE is talking about…and it’s not really solved by taking hormones or strength training.    Tune in and please share this with a woman who needs this info!    Be sure you’re subscribed to The Dr. Brooke Show on your favorite podcast player so you never miss a new episode.    To work with Dr Brooke click here and if you loved this episode please leave a review!     Follow Dr Brooke on Instagram and get signed up for my awesome emails here.
