The Hormone Solution | Menopause, Perimenopause, & Women's Midlife Health
DOWNLOAD OUR FREE GUIDE "IS YOUR HRT OPTIMIZED!" Yesterday morning, I sat up in bed and somehow threw my neck out. That was it. I did not fall. I did not lift anything heavy. I did not have some dramatic injury. I literally sat up. And if you are somewhere in your 40s or 50s, there is a very good chance you have your own version of this story. Your shoulder suddenly stops moving properly. Your back goes out doing something completely ordinary. Your knees start aching. Your Achilles is angry. Your elbow hurts for no apparent reason.

Peptides are everywhere right now. They are being talked about for fat loss, muscle, recovery, brain health, skin, longevity, inflammation, mitochondrial function, injury repair, and just about every other problem women run into in midlife. But which peptides actually make sense? Which ones have useful evidence or clinical experience behind them? Which ones are still early? And where do peptides fit when a woman is already dealing with changing hormones, declining muscle, stubborn body composition changes, poor sleep, low energy, and slower recovery? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jeff...

We talk about how drinking may affect sleep, cortisol, cravings, estrogen metabolism, liver health, insulin sensitivity, weight loss, and the way your body handles stress as you move through perimenopause and menopause.

In todays first Quick Hits episode we are hearing from Janie Bowthorpe. For 20 years, Janie Bowthorpe suffered at the hands of doctors who failed to see the connection between her chronic & debilitating symptoms and being on Synthroid for her hypothyroidism.
But Bowthorpe proved them all wrong by 2002. She switched to Natural Desiccated Thyroid, raised and found her optimal amount, and every single debilitating symptom went completely away. That change spurred her to create the patient-to-patient movement later called Stop the Thyroid Madness, aka STTM.
Whether or not you have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism or you suspect you have it you will want to listen to this episode! Janie and I dive deep into all things hypothyroidism including optimizing your thyroid medication, addressing underlying issues, testing, our failed medical system and pharmaceuticals and so much more.
The website http://stopthethyroidmadness.com is a compilation of years of patient experiences and wisdom—causing changed lives with the solid information, as well as shifts in the way many doctors treat their thyroid patients.
