In this episode of Hormone Heroines, we sit down with Dr. Heather Stone, functional medicine practitioner and thyroid expert, to discuss the real root causes behind hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

Dr. Stone shares her own personal journey with thyroid dysfunction and explains why so many women are dismissed after being told their thyroid labs are "normal." We explore how thyroid symptoms often stem from deeper imbalances involving blood sugar, stress, hormones, inflammation, gut health, and toxic load.

We also discuss the limitations of standard thyroid testing, the importance of comprehensive lab analysis, and why autoimmune thyroid disease requires more than simply replacing thyroid hormones.

Finally, Dr. Stone breaks down her seven-pillar thyroid transformation blueprint, including the role of mindset, personalized care, coaching, and sustainable lifestyle habits that support long-term healing and metabolic health.

In this episode of Hormone Heroines, we sit down with Dr. Mark Morningstar, chiropractic physician and clinical researcher, to explore a functional medicine approach to scoliosis.

We discuss why scoliosis is more than just a structural issue and how the brain, hormones, genetics, and gut health all contribute to its development and progression. Dr. Morningstar explains how the body may create a spinal curve as an adaptive response, and why traditional treatments that focus only on the spine may fall short.

We also dive into the importance of early intervention, the role of hormones during puberty, and how targeted strategies—including nutrition, neurological retraining, and movement therapies—can support better outcomes.

Finally, we explore innovative tools like the scoliosis activity suit and how both children and adults can benefit from a more comprehensive, root-cause approach to care.

In this episode of Hormone Heroines, we sit down with Lauren Manaker, registered dietitian and women's health expert, to explore the role of NAD in energy production, metabolic health, and healthy aging.

We discuss why NAD naturally declines with age, how this may affect women during perimenopause and menopause, and why mitochondrial health matters for everything from fatigue and brain function to ovarian health.

Lauren shares practical ways to support healthy NAD levels through foundational habits like sleep, movement, nutrition, and stress management, along with insights into nicotinamide riboside (NR) and how researched supplementation may fit into a broader wellness strategy.

In this episode of Hormone Heroines, we sit down with Dr. Shivani Gupta to explore why stress can negatively impact women’s health even when diet and exercise are optimized. Through an Ayurvedic lens, we discuss the concept of ojas (vitality) and how chronic stress depletes the body’s resilience, leading to fatigue, brain fog, and burnout.

Dr. Gupta shares practical strategies to restore balance, including improving sleep, eating for your unique body type, and incorporating simple daily rituals like “tea time” to pause and reset. We also explore the importance of stepping away from constant stimulation, such as social media, and engaging in restorative activities like reading to support mental and emotional wellbeing.

In this episode of the Hormone Heroines Podcast, Dr. Heidi Codino and Dr. Sundeep Dugar explore how estrogen drives energy production, mitochondrial health, and overall cellular function. The discussion covers why postmenopausal estrogen loss leads to fatigue, brain fog, muscle loss, and bone density decline. They also highlight Mito Catalyst E, a natural molecule that mimics exercise-induced hormonal effects to promote mitochondrial biogenesis, support metabolism, and enhance muscle and cognitive function. The episode connects hormonal biochemistry, mitochondrial function, exercise, microbiome health, and practical interventions to help women maintain vitality during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.

In this episode of the Hormone Heroines Podcast, the hosts speak with nutrition expert Jen Scheinman about mitochondrial health and why it plays such a critical role in energy, muscle performance, brain function, and the aging process. Mitochondria are often referred to as the "powerhouses of the cell," but they also help regulate cellular repair, communication, and turnover. As people age, mitochondria naturally become damaged and less efficient, which can contribute to symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, slower exercise recovery, and loss of muscle mass.

The conversation explores how hormonal changes—particularly the decline of estrogen during perimenopause and menopause—can further impact mitochondrial function in women. Because mitochondria contain estrogen receptors, shifts in hormone levels can directly influence how effectively cells produce energy and repair themselves.

The episode also highlights the emerging research around urolithin A, a compound created when gut microbes metabolize polyphenols found in foods such as pomegranates and berries. Urolithin A supports a cellular process called mitophagy, which helps remove damaged mitochondria and recycle their components to build new, healthier ones. Clinical studies suggest that supporting this mitochondrial renewal process may improve muscle strength, endurance, recovery, and overall cellular health.

The hosts also discuss the challenges of obtaining effective levels of urolithin A through diet alone, ongoing research on its potential effects on brain and immune health, and how mitochondrial support may become an important part of healthy aging strategies.
