(This podcast is not medical advice and not meant to replace seeing a medical doctor for any health concerns)

Today, I am chatting about all things leptin, what it is, what it does in the body, what part of the body receives its "signal", and what can block it! Also, what happens when this signal gets inhibited and how to fix it.

We also talk about the pleasure/reward balance from food; how leptin and insulin can be the most amazing regulators in a balanced system for this for appetite control, and how it can be our worst enemy when out of balance promoting a biochemical addiction to quick energy foods, and of course - how to bring balance to the system with these two hormones.

I then go into all things fiber, the two types of fiber we need to incorporate more of, and how it is VITAL that we get our fiber from whole food sources for the most impact. I go into everything from hoeing with hormone balance, blood sugar balance, as well as balance in the microbiome and nutrient diversity when we include plenty if dietary fiber in our daily diets.

For more on these things and SO much more, follow me on IG @dr.stacy.nd.

In this episode, we talk about all things Metabolism!

Metabolic health, what that means, what it requires, and what inhibits its process.

I talk about a few supplements that can support the healing and repair of our cells and cell membranes. Those can be found here. 

I also chat about lifestyle and habit changes that will support our metabolic health, along with new perspectives and ideas on how to support metabolic health (that includes much more than just controlling calories!)

Energy metabolism is a delicate balance of our energy systems as well as a balance between being in an anabolic state and switching to a healing state. Not building ALL of the time, and not breaking down ALL of the time- like everything, it is all about balance!

If these are something you need to learn more about, join my Heal Your Metabolism  group, starting 6/3!

Regular Registration can be found here, Practitioner Registration Here.

In today's podcast episode, I discuss some tidbits that I needed to hear along my journey, things I have seen inhibit my own clients on their journeys, and patterns of human nature that tend to keep us stuck in a place we don't want to be, but we often do not see a way out.

In this episode, I refer to human psychology and meeting our 6 basic human needs, how this drive human behavior and how we strive to meet these (consciously or subconsciously) with our daily decision making.

The 6 human needs are:

Certainty
Uncertainty/Variety
Love/Connection
Significance
Growth
Contribution

I encourage you to notice which two are going to influence and impact your decisions and beliefs and to also challenge yourself if you are meeting these needs in a positive and sustainable way or in a negative fashion. When we empower ourselves knowing where we stand now, we can use that wisdom as power to choose differently!

In this episode, we unpack dopamine (not in regard to gut health) but how it swings and weighs down our pain/pleasure balance in the brain. How these mechanisms overcompensate and try and maintain a state of equilibrium - meaning the more "dopamine heavy" our lives are, for one, the more of that stimulus we need to avoid pain or feeling, but also increasing our susceptibility to physical pain.

We talk about adaptation and how fleeting a dopamine hit truly is and how it impacts our sustainable happiness in our lives.

We talk about how we are evolved to avoid pain in our lives and this makes the appeal of unnatural dopamine hits that much more attractive. However, if we learn to face our fear and our pain, use it as our guide and teacher, we can learn what these negative emotions are telling us and trying to encourage us to grow.

Then, we shift gears and chat about HRT in premenopausal women - sharing true client stories, my own journey, and the suitability in relying on HRT to "mute" our hormonal symptoms and learning WHY hormones go low in the first place, that is where we need to turn to "balancing hormones".

Hormones can absolutely be balanced naturally, but it requires CHANGE. It requires doing things differently in the way we synchronize with our hormones, our eating patterns, the way we fuel our bodies, and connect to our natural sleep cycles. All of these and more are how we start supporting hormones and get the body to a place of balance so that our hormones can regulate as they are designed to.

To order a DUTCH, to assess hormones, cortisol, the interplay between all of the together, and their detox pathways, click HERE.

In this episode, I chat about clutter (mental, physical, emotional). I talk about the costs and the impacts that they all have on our health as well as talk about things to look for and actionable steps to start creating boundaries so that you don't get to a place of overwhelment in your own home.

Our homes should be our havens, and is we are constantly consuming, storing, decluttering, we are diverting a lot of time and energy to things that do not give us life or bring us joy!

Clutter not only drains our physical energy, but mental clarity and focus impacting our jobs, roles in life, and decision making day to day.

Let's dive into the whole clutter phenomena and learn how to break free from the hold it has on our time, our attention, our peace, and our clarity!

In this episode, we explore what actually happens when we get into fat burn, what is required, where it goes, and what one's ability to get into this state is determined by.

I also talked about my upcoming Heal Your Metabolism Group starting in March, here is the form to be notified when registration opens.

I speak about using a CGM  (code DRSTACY) and the Lumen  (code: DRSTACY) to measure these things, along with looking at hormones through a DUTCH if needed.

I also speak about all too often, how insulin/blood sugar issues are masked as "liver" issues and how it is impossible to detoxify the liver if it is full of stored sugar/insulin.

We talk about ways to support the liver through food and lifestyle and then leeway into drainage pathways over all.

I talk about my favorite ways to support systemic drainage, clean water, sauna (code DRSTACY),  Therasage (code DRSTACY) and using food and lifestyle as well!

I talk about how to incorporate driang and detox support into your daily habits and lifestyle as well as WHAT they are supporting as WHY (two important pieces that will make you stick with something and KNOW that it is working as you do!)

*The information in the podcast is not to replace medical care. It is also not intended to diagnose or treat disease. Seek out advice from your practitioner before making any changes to your supplements, diet, and lifestyle. 

In this episode, we unpack how we have to create a new "program" or "story" when we are healing. We know our current lifestyle and where that trajectory has gotten us, but how do we break that? How do we undo past conditioning, thoughts, feelings, and beliefs?

We talk about a possible addiction to a life we don't even life and I talk more about this on stress hormones and addiction to them in this previous episode. 

I also have chatted in the past about neuroplasticity and times in the day where we are most open to change in our subconscious here. 

We also talk about how to take a step back, how to notice, and how to start setting boundaries, habits, thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs that are in alignment with our future and not our past.

We talk about our influences, how to assess if these things are helping or harming us?

Next, we talk about looking at insomnia on a "lifestyle medicine" perspective.

It is SO much more than just taking a supplement.

It involves assessing the lifestyle, connecting with the sun and the body's natural circadian rhythm, things that block melatonin, so many ways that we can assess and address the lifestyle so that we can find balance, get to a restful state of sleep on a regular basis.

I also talk about testing that can come in handy, specifically a DUTCH and OAT to look at what may be happening with the hormones and the gut. Those can be requested here. 

I also talk about red light therapy for some and PEMF mats. This is my favorite brand for these: https://www.therasage.com/?rfsn=6701944.26322f&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=6701944.26322f

In the episode, I speak more on the topic of thyroid health, how it is a symptom of a larger imbalance in the body, and how the hierarchy of hormones needs to be considered when it comes to "healing" the thyroid.

We also talk about how important gut and liver play a role as most of our thyroid is actually converted in these two areas! We also chat about the things that blow thyroid receptors including heavy metals, halogens, and even insulin.

We can test minerals, metals, and toxins through functional labs and those can be requested here.

I also talk about the importance of knowing what blood sugar, insulin and cortisol are doing in regard to thyroid, and I always encourage testing your individual response to know for sure with a CGM, like Nutrisense! CODE: DRSTACYND25

Next, I talk about coffee, while there can be many therapeutic benefits from any polyphenol contains foods, we all have different responses to caffeine and coffee, so I speak on some of the signs to look for is it is not working for you, testing your own blood sugar response, of course, and emphasizing QUALITY as well if it is something you continue in your day to day!

Lastly, I talk about the power of intention setting when it comes to the new year and really anytime! When it is a heart led or intuition led decision or idea, it is going to stick that much more, we are OUT with the resolutions that are based off of fear, guilt, and shame. We work better in a place of love and empathy for where we are while working on the higher version of ourselves we are working towards!

Thank you so much for the support, for more on all of these, head to my IG @dr.stacy.nd and stay tuned for more topics and questions I take from my social!
