I recently had a fascinating conversation with Dr Elliot Just on mens health with a specific focus on erectile dysfunction and how it can indicate potential health issues in a man, now and in the future. Dr Justin doesn't hold back and has plenty of one liners including the title of this podcast. Please DO NOT listen to this podcast around children lol. We also touched on sexual dysfunction in women and covered a few questions sent to me from my clients for Dr Justin.

He is the CEO and Founder of FirmTech, the first sex tech company dedicated to improving men’s erectile fitness.

Carol Petersen is back for this first podcast episode on the New Year. In this conversation we aimed to fill in some of the gaps left from our last chat in December (go check it out). We started with why estrogen is still being pushed at the top hormone therapy for women, even by prominent names in the health world, and does it actually help. Then we moved into testing hormones, administration and how the Cvid effects hormones. And of course lots more! We hope you really enjoy this conversation and we look forward to hearing your feedback and questions in the comments.

Did you know half of annual weight gain occurs between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. HALF! Ouch! Science shows that the average person gains between 5-10lbs over the holidays. No wonder so many people start off the New Year with the same goal to lose weight and get in shape, only to abandon it within the first few weeks.

Don’t let it happen to you. You’re so much more than a statistic and YOU DESERVE so much better. This year, let’s try something different! Check out the tips and practices in this solo podcast, implement as much as you can this holiday season and watch what happens!

I had the wonderful opportunity to chat with the lovely Carol Petersen of @thewellnessbydesignproject . We went deep into progesterone therapy, why most women need MORE bioidentical hormones, why you may believe progesterone is NOT working for you, the influence stress has on your adrenaline and progesterone, and lots more. I also wanted to add in at the end, the aspect of paying out of pocket for HRT when your Dr won't help.

This is a fantastic conversation and we both think you will find it enjoyable and helpful!

I am so excited to bring you my friend and colleague Paul Robinson in this podcast episode to discuss the many problems with the current ways we treat and test for low thyroid or hypothyroidism. Paul also shared some of his story with us and how being undertreated for hypothyroidism basically destroyed his life. We also got into the specifics of T4, T3 and Reverse T3 to hopefully help you understand and take more control of your thyroid and health issues. And what do you do if your doctor won't help you. Please let us know if you have any questions or feedback in the comments.

Paul Robinson became ill with hypothyroidism in his late twenties. Over the next thirty-plus years, Paul accumulated a wealth of knowledge on thyroid and adrenal dysfunction. His scientific background enabled him to fight through the morass of misinformation and recover his health, and help many many others.

At first, Paul was put on the most common thyroid treatment - Levothyroxine (also known as Synthroid or T4). However, the majority of his symptoms remained, much like they do for many on T4-therapy. Over time he became even more ill, with both low cortisol and low thyroid symptoms. This then spurred Paul to put everything he learned on paper - writing his 3 books. Paul wrote 'The CT3M Handbook' as a companion book to 'Recovering with T3' to explain more about raising cortisol levels if needed. And Paul wrote his third book ‘The Thyroid Patient’s Manual’. This book covers all types of thyroid medications (T4, T4/T3, NDT, and T3).
