  • 367. Lyme Disease and Thyroid Connection

    Here's the episode where we will dive into the world of Lyme disease with my special guest, Heather Gray, famously known as "The Lyme Boss." Our paths crossed at a conference in October, igniting a discussion about the often-overlooked connection between tick-borne illnesses and thyroid disorders.

    In this episode, Heather, a pioneer in Lyme disease understanding and treatment, shares her insights into the complexities with chronic Lyme disease and how it can easily mimic other disorders. Heather's personal journey with Lyme disease not only adds depth to her expertise but also brings a unique empathy to her approach in treating and guiding patients through their struggles.

    Our conversation is packed with enlightening discussions on recognizing symptoms, understanding diagnosis, and exploring effective treatment options for Lyme. This episode is not just an exploration of chronic Lyme diagnosis and treatment but also a source of empowerment for those facing these intricate health challenges.

    Whether you're a patient grappling with these conditions, a healthcare professional, or just someone keen on expanding their health knowledge, this episode with Heather Gray offers invaluable perspectives and hope in the complex world of Lyme disease and thyroid health.

  • 366. Ozempic, Mounjaro, Trulicity...Is It Worth the Risk?

    GLP-1's...Is diving into these worth the risks?" Glucagon-like Peptide-1's is a crucial topic, especially for those exploring options for managing type 2 diabetes or looking for weight loss solutions.

    GLP-1's initially emerged as a groundbreaking treatment for type 2 diabetes, with Trulicity being one of the first on the market. These medications work by stimulating insulin release from the pancreas, effectively reducing high blood glucose levels. This is vital for those with type 2 diabetes, as consistently high glucose can lead to severe complications like neuropathy, blindness, and even cardiovascular diseases.

    Ozempic, later introduced, was FDA-approved not just for diabetes management but also for reducing the risk of major cardiovascular events in people with pre-existing heart conditions and type 2 diabetes. Similarly, Mounjaro follows the same mechanism, mimicking the GLP-1 hormone to regulate blood glucose levels.

    However, it's not all smooth sailing. These medications can significantly impact digestion, often leading to a slowdown in gastric emptying. This episode doesn't shy away from discussing the potential side effects, including heartburn, nausea, a sense of fullness that affects appetite, and sometimes even severe gastrointestinal symptoms.

    Join me as I navigate through these complexities, weigh the benefits against the risks, and provide insights that could help you make informed decisions about using GLP-1's. Whether you're considering them for diabetes management or as part of your weight loss journey, this episode is an invaluable resource. Tune in to uncover the truths and myths about these widely discussed medications.

  • 365. 12 Boob Jobs and Counting: The Highs and Lows of Breast Implants

    Welcome to an extraordinary episode where we step outside the box and dive into conversations that are not just unique but deeply personal. In this episode, I'm joined by Natalie Jill, a name that resonates with power and inspiration in the fitness community. Natalie, at the impressive age of 52, has not only conquered challenges with autoimmunity and weight gain but now sports a stunning six-pack that truly defines her as a fitness rockstar. Our connection sparked instantly, and what better way to kickstart our conversation than with a topic as intriguing as breasts and breast implants?

    We both share a history of six surgeries each, experiences with implant ruptures, and a plethora of questions from our community about breast implants, breast implant illness, and autoimmune conditions. These are topics often shrouded in uncertainty and misinformation, and we aim to shed light on them through our personal stories. We discuss the dilemmas many face, such as whether to get implants or not, especially in the context of conditions like Hashimoto's.

    Our candid discussion also explores the judgments surrounding those who choose to have implants and those who don't. We open up about our struggles, the impact of implant ruptures on our health, and what we've observed in our respective client and patient communities in relation to implants and autoimmunity.

    This episode isn't just about sharing experiences; it's about bringing to light the unspoken aspects of a topic that affects many. With a combined total of 24 implants and 12 surgeries between us, this conversation is as unique as it gets. Whether you're curious, seeking answers, or just here for an engaging talk, this episode is sure to resonate with you. Join us in unraveling these midlife stories and insights, and let's navigate this journey together.

  • 364. Hacking Menopause, Hacking Age

    Get ready to turn back the clock – well, at least in terms of how you feel and look! This episode is all about the art of aging gracefully, or as I like to call it, 'Benjamin Button-ing' your life. While we can't literally reverse time (yet!), my guest Zora Benhamou is here to share some incredible biohacks that might just be the next best thing.

    Zora is not only a gerontologist with a passion for transforming the menopause narrative, but she's also a crusader against those pesky ageist stereotypes. She's the voice behind the 'Hack My Age' podcast, where she delves into biohacking specifically tailored for women navigating the choppy waters of menopause. And for all you ladies out there in the midst of this transition, take heart – Zora's got your back, and so do I.

    She's also the brains behind hackmyage.com, penned the 'Longevity Master Plan' and the 'Eating for Longevity' cookbook, and has developed a suite of online programs for women in perimenopause and menopause. Talk about a powerhouse!

    In this episode, we veer off into some fascinating discussions – from the grip of Big Pharma to the power of choice, and Zora's own globe-trotting insights into how different cultures view menopause. It's an eye-opener, I promise you that.

    Dive into a candid conversation again this week about women's sexual health in this transformative episode. In this episode, we're shedding light on a topic that's been tucked away for far too long: vaginal health and rejuvenation. Joining me is the remarkable Dr. Cheri Ong, not only a friend but a distinguished surgeon when it comes to vaginal transformations. With Cheri's board certification and over 15 years of plastic surgery experience, she's the go-to expert for both the aesthetic and functional tune-ups down there.

    Cheri brings a unique blend of skill and precision to the table, offering solutions for both external and internal concerns. She has a knack for discerning which issues can be resolved through surgery and which can benefit from non-surgical approaches, tackling everything from dryness to arousal and sensitivity. In our chat, Dr. Ong will share her insights into the array of treatments available and her strategies for enhancing recovery.

    We're here to challenge the taboos and initiate a frank dialogue about vaginal health. It's time to step away from the shadows, to stop avoiding mirrors and dimming the lights. Your body deserves the same confidence and pride you carry in every other aspect of your life. If you've noticed changes down there or have silently questioned what could be done, this episode speaks directly to you. Let's empower each other by breaking the silence and embracing the conversations that can lead to profound personal transformations.

  • 361. Tracking Food and Losing 14 lbs. After Thyroidectomy

    In this podcast, we tend to place a unique emphasis on the individual journeys of thyroid patients. Each story shared is a beacon of hope, a testament to progress, and an ode to the indomitable human spirit that finds its way back to wellness. These personal narratives highlight the challenges faced, the battles fought, and the joy of reclaiming life. Every time a guest shares their story, it resonates deeply with my listeners. Many reach out, expressing how these tales mirror their own experiences, often feeling as if they were hearing their own challenges and triumphs being voiced.

    It's truly heartwarming to witness the ripple effect of sharing. The power of a single story can inspire, motivate, and even propel someone to take the essential steps toward their healing journey. While women predominantly face thyroid and hormone imbalances, it's crucial to recognize that these challenges know no boundaries. Whether you're a man or a woman, the central message remains unchanged: change is possible, hope is tangible, and your story could be the guiding light for someone else navigating the same path.

    In this episode, Sarah McFarland delves into her distinctive journey of undergoing partial thyroid removal due to a nodule and then being on T4 medication for several years. It was only after the emergence of another nodule, leading to a complete thyroidectomy, that she began grappling with weight gain, pervasive brain fog, and relentless fatigue. Determined to uncover solutions, Sarah teamed up with me. Join us as she unfolds her transformative story, detailing how meticulous food tracking became the key to her weight loss breakthrough, even post-thyroidectomy!

  • 358. Why High Insulin, High Glucose or PCOS Can Make You Fat

    In this episode, I'm sharing the issues of high glucose, high insulin, insulin resistance, and PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). PCOS is one diagnosis I had after piling on the pounds even after fixing my thyroid! The culprit was...Insulin resistance! Many individuals, despite adopting a healthier lifestyle and diet, experience weight gain due to underlying issues like high insulin and glucose levels.

    One of the most frustrating experiences for many is the inability to shed weight even after making positive dietary and lifestyle changes. The crux of the issue might lie in the inadequate testing for insulin levels, much like the problems we see with thyroid testing. An example is when hemoglobin A1C tests might read as "normal" at a value of say "5.6", but in actuality, it isn't flagged as high on most lab reports, leading to misinterpretations.

    In today's discussion, our aim is to shed light on the insulin resistant component, how it can impact weight and the complex relationship between PCOS, insulin resistance and menopause. Let's unpack all of this together!
