Low ferritin in pregnancy considerations

Testing iron and hemoglobin

Iron infusions (invasions as Morley calls them)

Hemochromatosis

Gout as it relates to iron, the liver and thyroid

Magnesium and the adrenals

Pain receptors and our emotional states influence by copper

Estrogen dominance and heavy menstrual bleeding (FYI Estrogen dominance is Iron Dominance)

Feel free to post feedback or questions in the comments.

One of my goals with this podcast is not to only have some of the best speakers on topics that interest me on, but also to have a neuroscientist on. Which happened in this conversation! I was excited to have Amanda Higgins Neuroscience PhD on to discuss brain aging and why its not only hormones and our weight we should be paying attention to in perimenopause and mid life. We seem to forget about the brains importance when it comes to health and feeling good. And this is definitely an OVERLOOKED TOPIC when it comes to perimenopause.

So what really happens to the brain as we age and what can we do about it? In this episode, I sit down with a neuroscientist to explore the science of cognitive decline, the root causes of dementia, and the practical strategies we can use to protect and enhance brain function over time. We discuss the latest research on brain aging, key lifestyle habits that support long-term cognitive health, and actionable steps you can take to keep your mind sharp, resilient, and high-performing at every stage of life. Whether you’re looking to prevent dementia, optimize mental clarity, or simply better understand your brain, this conversation offers powerful insights grounded in science.

The legendary Dr Rosensweet is back on the podcast to further our conversation around hormones, hormone therapy, stress and cancer. This was a very enlightening conversation!

Stress may be the leading cause of hormone imbalances and how severe the symptoms may be in peri and post menopause.

Stress may be the main cause of Cancer.

Learning to deal with your emotions to help your hormones.

Is Estrogen a cause of Cancer?

In this conversation I welcomed Renee Fitton onto the podcast to discuss some different ideas around fasting and how appropriate it is for women (and men), especially during peri menopause and as we get older. You will see there are a lot of considerations when it comes to fasting and in many cases, jumping into a water only fast is not smart for many of us. We discuss how fasting can directly influence hormones in both a good and bad way - improving insulin, yet impairing others like thyroid and progesterone. Again, a lot to be considered. We hope you enjoy this conversation and let us know if you have any questions or feedback in the comments. :)
