In this solo episode, I'm speaking directly from the heart and for the voiceless women whose lives were forever changed by poor women’s health care. There's a growing wave of doctor influencers online pushing estrogen as the go-to solution for every woman in midlife. But here's the truth: estrogen is not the star of the show. For many women, especially those who have hit dead ends with gynecologists, hormone clinics, or influencers selling oversimplified solutions, estrogen has only made things worse. It's time to bring real balance back into the conversation.

I’ll explain why Balance Matters isn't just the name of my new book—it's a necessary response to the estrogen-first narrative that’s dominating women’s health spaces right now. We’ll talk about the role of progesterone, the thyroid, the detox pathways, and why you can’t skip over the foundations of metabolic health.

Also announcing that pre-registration is now open for my upcoming Detox Essentials Course. This is the foundational step I recommend before starting any hormone support. We’ll cover how to support the gut, liver, and lymph to make sure your body is prepared to handle supplements, hormone therapy, and real healing. Details in the episode.

DETOX ESSENTIALS COURSE! EarlyBird registration ends today! Use coupon code EARLYBIRD for $50 towards the course. Already signed up for the mini-course? Use coupon code UPGRADE to put that $25 toward your Advanced course fee at checkout. HERE.

An ultrasound is one of the most powerful tools in helping a woman choose life when facing an unplanned pregnancy. $28 can help a mother see and hears her baby’s heartbeat, the majority of abortion-minded women are far more likely to carry to term after seeing an ultrasound. It's not just about the image—it's about offering real-time proof of life, providing clarity, and opening the door to support, counseling, and informed decision-making. Ultrasounds also ensure proper prenatal care can begin, giving both mother and baby the best possible start. Click on the PreBorn link to make a donation.

In this enlightening episode of "Stuff Your Doctor Should Know," we dive deep into the controversy surrounding Allopregnanolone, a progesterone metabolite that's recently been scrutinized unfairly due to inconclusive results from a rat study. This study suggested potential cognitive issues with ongoing use, casting a shadow over a metabolite known for its crucial role in pregnancy—helping women stay relaxed and potentially preventing postnatal depression (PND) and in anxiety disorders in general.

Stuff Your Doctor Should Know is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

Join us as expert pharmacist Carol Petersen helps demystify Allopregnanolone, explaining why labeling it merely as a drug is not only premature but irresponsible. Carol will discuss:

The Importance of Allopregnanolone: How high levels of this metabolite are beneficial, especially in pregnancy, and why it's essential to approach research findings with a critical eye.

Progesterone Supplementation: How oral progesterone is metabolized by the liver into Allopregnanolone, and why this pathway is crucial for understanding its effects.

Adrenaline and Liver Health: Carol breaks down the methylation process involved in clearing adrenaline in the liver. She explains how issues with this process could lead to an adrenaline kickback in some women when taking progesterone.

The Baking Soda Miracle: Exploring an unexpected topic, Carol discusses how simple household baking soda could potentially aid in hormone balance and alleviate leg cramps.

Tune in to shed light on these complex hormonal interactions and learn why it's crucial to question and investigate beyond initial studies.
