The Hormone Mastery Method with Steph Lowe

In today's episode we are joined by Kat John, to discuss the victim mentality. Kat shares the role of the ego and meditation in identifying with 'victim-like' thoughts and we discuss how to reframe victimisation by changing the language you use. We explore topics including COVID-19 and Black Lives Matter and provide you with some strategies that will allow you to see that your contribution counts, no matter how big or how small.

In today's episode we are joined by Dr Damian Kristof to explore saturated fats in pregnancy, off to back of an article titled "Mother's higher fat diets linked with long term health of infants". Now, this was in no way credible research, but it's information being spread by mainstream media that is contributing to our continual confusion around saturated fats, so it was extremely important to debunk. Join Damo & I as we teach you how to navigate such articles, the problems with studies centred around dietary questionnaires and food recall, and the significant issues that arise when food quality is ignored (such as when meat pies are compared to avocados). We obviously agree that what a mother eats during pregnancy impacts the future health of her baby, but we absolutely have to stop the fear around natural whole foods. Let's dive in.

You will learn about the role of the microbiome, the role of conventional therapies, the impact of nutrient deficiencies and inflammation, why toxins need to considered, how psychology and mindset are involved and so much more. This is obviously a very sensitive topic and a complex one that is yet to be solved, but I hope you will join me today in considering how important it is to identify the root cause of a disease, and how this could differ for individuals with the same disease.

We discuss what we typically see in clinic, including clients who have undertaken a suite of breath testing, those who have been to see a gastroenterologist and those who have been told to follow a specific diet lacking in prebiotic fibres long term. We also explore the role of SIBO and the microbiome, the long term steps required to create optimal gut health and so much more.

In episode 279 of The Hormone Mastery Method we are joined by Cliff Harvey to explore the publication, 'Caloric restriction alters lipid metabolism to contribute to tumor growth inhibition'. We discuss how caloric restriction differs from a ketogenic diet in regards to cancer treatment and how we must consider both the Warburg Effect and the reverse hypothesis, that while some cancer cells thrive on glucose, others thrive on ketone bodies. We then discuss glutamine and the relevance of protein intake versus the prevention of muscle wastage, the role of a holistic and individualised approach to cancer treatment, future directions including the press-pulse strategy and so much more.
