Ep 574: Unlocking Your Metabolic Type for Energy, Weight & Hormone Balance with Martin Pytela
What if the reason you’re struggling with low energy, stubborn weight, or digestive issues isn’t about willpower — but your Metabolic Type? In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, I sit down with Martin Pytela, functional medicine expert and metabolic typing coach, to explore how your unique biology shapes the foods, supplements, and lifestyle choices that actually work for you. We each inherit strengths and weaknesses in three key systems: ✅ Autonomic Nervous System – Are you sympathetic dominant (anxious, wired, stuck in fight-or-flight) or parasympathetic dominant (burned out, chronically fatigued)? ✅ Oxidation Rate – Is your metabolism burning fuel fast or slow? (Think paper vs. logs on a campfire!) ✅ Endocrine System – Thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, and ovarian dominance all shape your body type, hormone balance & weight patterns. When you understand which system dominates — and which needs support — you can use personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies to restore balance, energy, and vitality. ✨ In this conversation, you’ll discover: The power of biological individuality in nutrition Why pH balance is crucial for overall health How endocrine dominance shapes weight, metabolism & hormones The role of stress, detoxification, movement & emotional healing in restoring health Why personalized nutrition is the fastest path to consistent energy and resilience Martin’s story is inspiring — after healing himself from mercury toxicity, he’s helped over 12,000 clients uncover the hidden causes of their health struggles. His message is clear: true healing is possible, even for long-standing conditions. 🎧 Tune in now and discover your metabolic type.

Ep 568: The Intersection of Trauma & Hormones: What Every Woman Needs to Know with Paula Rastrick
In this eye-opening episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with trauma therapist Paula Rastrick to unpack the complexities of hormonal health for women. They explore why hormone therapy isn’t always the silver bullet it’s marketed to be — and how trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and the HPA axis all play a major role in hormonal imbalance. Paula shares her deeply personal journey through hormonal struggles and burnout, and how she came to understand the nervous system as the foundation of hormone healing. Together, they challenge common myths and shed light on why so many women feel gaslighted by traditional medical approaches. If you’ve ever felt dismissed, confused, or overwhelmed when it comes to your hormones — this conversation is your permission slip to dig deeper and advocate for a more holistic approach to healing. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Hormone therapy is often oversimplified and overprescribed. Medical gaslighting is common when hormonal protocols don’t work. The nervous system is a key (and often missing) piece in hormone treatment. Trauma can rewire the HPA axis, disrupting hormonal balance. ADHD and hormone sensitivity are deeply connected. Every woman’s hormonal story is unique — individualized care is essential. Heart rate variability (HRV) training can support nervous system resilience. Empowerment through education helps women take control of their health. We need a more integrated, trauma-aware approach to women's healthcare. 🔗 Resources From The Show: Learn more about Paula Rastrick & get on her email list: Paula's Instagram: HRV Tool:
