What if the real reason you’re tired, losing muscle, or struggling to heal has less to do with hormones and everything to do with protein and amino acids?

In this episode, I sit down with Angelo Keely from Kion to unpack the science behind muscle preservation, recovery, and aging—and why most women (especially in perimenopause and menopause) are severely under-fueled when it comes to protein. We dive into what happens to your body under stress—from surgery to dieting to GLP-1 medications—and how essential amino acids can change the game for your energy, metabolism, and longevity.

You’ll learn how to heal faster, lose fat without losing muscle, and protect your body as your hormones shift. We break down how much protein women actually need, the truth about plant vs. animal sources, and why pairing aminos with your protein powder can supercharge results.

If you’ve ever wondered why your energy crashes, your hair won’t grow, or your body feels weaker with age, this episode will completely change how you think about protein—and how you use it to feel strong, lean, and alive again.

What if everything you thought you knew about testosterone therapy was wrong?

In this episode, I sit down with Shalin Shah, CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals, to explore a groundbreaking oral testosterone therapy that’s changing the way we think about hormones. For decades, we’ve been told that oral testosterone is dangerous, hard on the liver, risky for the heart, and only meant for men. But what if there’s a safer, more effective option that benefits both men and women, protects long-term health, and actually mimics the body’s natural rhythm?

We dig into the myths that have held testosterone back, why it’s been unfairly stigmatized, and how this new therapy could reshape the future of hormone replacement. If you’ve ever struggled with low energy, brain fog, weight gain, or lack of motivation (or if you’ve wondered why so many doctors still hesitate to prescribe testosterone) this conversation will open your eyes to what’s possible.

Have you ever been told to test your thyroid levels a few hours after taking your medication? What if I told you that one small timing mistake could completely throw off your results—and lead to the wrong treatment plan?

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most common (and costly) thyroid testing mistakes: drawing your labs at the wrong time. I explain why testing “at the peak” doesn’t make sense scientifically, how it can create false high readings, and what actually happens in your body when you take T3 or NDT medication. You’ll hear real examples from my own experiments and patients so you can finally understand what those lab numbers really mean—and when you should be testing for an accurate picture of your thyroid health.

If you’ve been told your labs look “fine” but you still feel tired, foggy, or stuck with symptoms, this episode will make it all click. I’ll teach you the timing strategy that can completely change how your medication is adjusted and how you feel every day. Don’t miss it!

What’s the best thyroid medication to be on — NDT, T4, T3, or a combination? And how do you actually know what’s right for your body?

In this episode, I’m breaking down the nuanced art of thyroid optimization — from natural desiccated thyroid (like Armour or NP) to biosynthetic options such as Synthroid, Tirosint, and Cytomel. I explain why there’s no one-size-fits-all treatment, what to consider if you have Hashimoto’s, and how fillers, conversion issues, and reverse T3 can all impact how you feel. You’ll learn how to spot when your thyroid meds need tweaking, why “natural” doesn’t always mean better, and how to use your labs and symptoms together to guide your treatment.

If you’ve ever felt confused about which thyroid medication is best or frustrated that your current dose isn’t working, this episode will give you the clarity, confidence, and questions to bring to your next appointment — so you can finally get the right combination, in the right dose, for you.

Is muscle really the secret to aging well—and could new tech make it easier than ever to keep it?

In this episode, I sit down with Alex Birks, a muscle tech innovator, to uncover the surprising truth about muscle health and why it may be the most overlooked key to longevity. We talk about the ways muscle connects to everything from hormones to cardiovascular health, and why losing it accelerates disease, injury, and aging itself. You’ll also hear how Alex’s own devastating injury led him to create a breakthrough wearable, now used by professional athletes and everyday people alike, that makes building and preserving muscle faster and more accessible than ever before.

We go deep into the science of targeted compression training, what it actually does inside your body, and why it can mimic the effects of high-intensity workouts in just minutes. You’ll learn why muscle isn’t about looking bulky, but about living independently, avoiding chronic pain, and keeping your hormones and metabolism in balance. From perimenopause to post-injury recovery, from busy professionals to aging grandparents, this conversation will open your eyes to how muscle health is the missing piece you can’t afford to ignore.

What if everything you thought you knew about cancer treatment wasn’t the full story? In this episode, I continue my conversation with Dr. Donese Worden, digging even deeper into the world of integrative and alternative therapies for cancer. We explore the risks and rewards of different approaches, from hormones and red light therapy to ozone, ivermectin, mistletoe, and beyond. Dr. Worden shares what the research really says, how to balance intuition with science, and why cancer is far smarter than most people realize.

You’ll also hear about cutting-edge testing like the DataR test, which reveals how your unique cancer cells respond to specific therapies—including natural agents, repurposed drugs, and more. If you’ve ever wondered which alternative treatments hold promise and which ones are pure hype, this episode will open your eyes to what’s possible when you pause, educate yourself, and take back control of your health journey.

What really causes cancer—and what are we missing when it comes to testing, treatment, and prevention?

In this episode, I’m joined by my own doctor, Dr. Donese Worden, to take you inside my cancer journey in a way I’ve never shared before. We dive into the questions so many of us face—what actually causes cancer, why stress is one of the most overlooked drivers, and why most cancers aren’t genetic despite what conventional medicine focuses on. You’ll hear how toxins, lifestyle, and even hormones play a role, what your mitochondria have to do with it, and how nutrition, stress management, and metabolic therapies can literally shift outcomes.

We also pull back the curtain on the tests that often aren’t run, the treatments that can make a difference, and the integrative strategies that blend conventional and functional medicine for a clearer path forward. This is part one of a two-part conversation, and it is packed with insights, controversial questions, and the kind of information every patient (or loved one of a patient) deserves but rarely receives.

What happens when too much T4 builds up in the body—and could it actually raise your risk of cancer? I’m digging into the latest studies that suggest a connection between high free T4 levels and cancer progression, and breaking down what this really means for anyone on thyroid medication. You’ll hear why the issue isn’t the pill itself, but the dosing, the conversion to T3, and how reverse T3 plays a hidden role in slowing down your entire system.

I’ll explain how T4 can mimic estrogen in certain cancers, why reverse T3 puts your body into “hibernation mode,” and the essential nutrients that can protect your thyroid and keep conversion running smoothly. If you’ve ever wondered whether your thyroid meds could be hurting you instead of helping—or if you want clarity on how to lower risk and finally feel better—this conversation will give you the answers you’ve been searching for.

What if the symptoms you’re battling aren’t just about your thyroid, hormones, or even your genetics, but about unresolved trauma living in your body?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Aimie Apigian to explore the fascinating and often overlooked connection between trauma biology, nervous system regulation, and thyroid health. We break down how unresolved experiences (ones you may not even think of as trauma) can keep your body stuck in survival mode, fueling autoimmunity, hormone imbalances, and even chronic disease. Dr. Aimie explains the five steps of the trauma response, why traditional talk therapy often falls short, and what it really takes to rewire your nervous system for healing.

You’ll also hear us dive into how perfectionism, stress patterns, and unresolved childhood experiences can show up decades later as Hashimoto’s, hormone chaos, or even cancer—and what to do if you’re tired of chasing protocols that never seem to work. If you’ve ever wondered why your labs look fine but you still feel awful, this conversation will change the way you think about health, healing, and your own biology.

What’s the truth behind GLP medications, thyroid testing, iodine, and hormone replacement therapy—and what should you really believe?

In this episode, I’m giving you my honest opinion on some of the most controversial topics in the thyroid and hormone space. From the polarizing debates around GLP-1 medications to the truth about free T3 testing, iodine supplementation, and whether HRT increases cancer risk, I break down the science, share real patient experiences, and call out the misinformation that’s keeping women stuck. You’ll hear why blanket “good” or “bad” labels don’t work, how to know if you’re using the right tests at the right time, and why iodine may be the missing link in protecting your thyroid and overall health.

If you’ve ever felt confused by the noise online or pressured by doctors, influencers, or even friends, this conversation will give you clarity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of how to make the best decisions for your body.
