I'm wrapping up the year by answering your questions in this first of a two-part Q&A, and we cover a lot of ground. From confusing lab results to hormone dosing debates, I dig into the questions so many of you are quietly wondering about. What does high ferritin really mean? Is it iron—or something else entirely? We'll also take a look at hormone replacement frustrations. Why do some people still bleed months into HRT? Are injections better than patches or creams? And how do you know if your body is actually absorbing what you're taking? I share real-world context, common patterns I see, and why one-size-fits-all advice can be misleading. This episode also touches on bigger, more nuanced questions. How do genetics like BRCA status factor into hormone decisions? Can stress, immune health, or histamine issues change how hormones affect you? And in perimenopause, is balance even realistic, or are we chasing the wrong goal? In this episode, we uncover: How to interpret high ferritin levels and what they may signal beyond iron. Why hormone absorption issues can cause unexpected symptoms like bleeding. What typical testosterone and estrogen injection doses actually look like. How stress, inflammation, and immunity intersect with hormone health. What to consider when navigating HRT during perimenopause versus menopause. Tune in now if you've ever felt confused, frustrated, or overwhelmed by hormone advice.

What's really driving the sudden belly fat, brain fog, and sleep chaos so many women hit in midlife? And why do the usual "eat less, move more" solutions stop working overnight? In this episode featuring Dr. Aleksandra Gajer, we dig into the hormones and peptides that may finally explain why your body feels like it's changing without your permission. Together, we unpack what's happening beneath the surface (insulin resistance, inflammation, mitochondrial slowdown, hormonal roller coasters), and ask the questions women are never told to ask. What if your symptoms aren't a lack of willpower but a lack of biochemical support? And what if the tools to help you already exist? Which peptides actually matter for women in perimenopause and menopause? Which ones help with sleep, energy, weight, stress resilience, or recovery? And how do you know when it's time to consider hormone therapy or advanced diagnostics? Get all the answers in this episode! In this episode, we uncover: How shifting hormones trigger metabolic chaos long before menopause officially begins. Why peptides like BPC-157 and MOTS-C may support healing, energy, and resilience. How inflammation, gut health, and chemical exposures silently shape weight and symptoms. Why GLP-1 medications aren't shortcuts, plus who actually benefits from them. How personalized labs and targeted therapies can prevent years of unnecessary suffering.

Have you ever wondered what the four phases of hormonal loss are and why they matter as you age? How can progesterone help manage symptoms without messing with your estrogen levels? Why is it so important to test your progesterone levels, even if your cycles are irregular? Did you know that thyroid and testosterone medications can impact your natural hormone production? Why is it crucial to stick to physiological doses of thyroid and testosterone for long-term health? How can early intervention with progesterone actually help protect your breasts? What's the real significance of the uterus beyond childbearing, and what happens if you've had a hysterectomy? How does estradiol, a key form of estrogen, play a crucial role in maintaining long-term health? Are birth control pills the best option when you need estrogen, or is there a better alternative? How can estradiol help you maintain bone density, cognitive function, and overall well-being? Why do we need to challenge the fear-based narrative around estrogen and understand its true benefits? Have you considered how over-the-counter hormone creams might offer an accessible and effective solution? Could your genetics be affecting how severe your hormonal symptoms are during menopause? Why can progesterone loss lead to uncomfortable symptoms like heavy periods and even thyroid issues? What is progesterone cycling, and how does it help balance hormones without disrupting estrogen production? How do stress, trauma, and dietary habits play a role in when menopause starts? Why is understanding hormonal feedback loops essential for effective medication and hormone therapy? Why should you be proactive and really listen to your body when it comes to HRT decisions?

Although birth control pills may be referred to as hormonal contraception, in reality, there are not any natural hormones found in birth control pills. Birth control "hormones" are not hormones. Instead, they are endocrine system disrupters. These chemicals can cause long term side effects that doctors rarely, if ever, warn us about. These pills are frequently used as a quick fix for perimenopausal symptoms, despite safer and more effective options like bioidentical hormones being available. In this episode find out the scary truth about the long term side effects of the continuous use of birth control medication.

UPenn is the only institution in the world offering a Master's degree in Applied Positive Psychology, and Robert is one of the leading voices in understanding the connection between happiness and success. But what makes Robert's story extraordinary is his journey from despair to hope, from contemplating ending his life to becoming a beacon of positivity and resilience. Robert shares his raw and unfiltered account of being deeply unhappy from an early age, battling severe anxiety and self-loathing, and reaching a point where he considered suicide as the only way out. Yet, in his darkest moment—knife in hand—something remarkable happened. Robert describes an overwhelming sense of peace, love, and joy washing over him, a feeling so profound that it stopped him in his tracks. He refers to this as a "divine intervention," a moment that shifted his perspective and inspired him to dig deeper into the science and spirituality of happiness. Robert's story is not just about his struggles but about the incredible transformation that followed. Through research, self-discovery, and faith in something greater than himself, he found a way to rewrite his narrative. Now, he dedicates his life to helping others find their own happiness and purpose.

Today's episode has me talking all about the critical role of estrogen in managing menopausal health and metabolism. We unravel common misconceptions, such as the idea that progesterone deficiency is the primary cause of menopausal symptoms, and discuss estradiol's influence on the thermoneutral zone.

Additionally, I explain estradiol's interaction with serotonin and dopamine, which affects mood and appetite regulation. I also emphasize the importance of hormonal balance, especially when considering hormone replacement therapy, and explore the roles of acylation stimulating protein and progesterone in fat storage. In this episode: How estrogen plays a crucial role in metabolism during menopause. Why estradiol is significant in regulating the thermoneutral zone, affecting hot flashes.

Night sweats, mood swings, insomnia, hot flashes, weight gain, headaches, depression, anxiety, dry skin, vaginal atrophy... the list goes on. It's disheartening, isn't it? These are just some of the often debilitating symptoms that accompany peri-menopause and menopause. You'd think such a daunting list would catch the attention of doctors and spur them to find effective solutions. But sadly, that's not what's happening. Instead, many women are being met with ignorance—even sexism—by the very medical professionals they trust, including doctors, functional MDs, nutrition coaches, and so-called hormone "experts." The number of postmenopausal women has only increased over time. In 1998, there were 477 million postmenopausal women worldwide. By 2025, that number is expected to soar to 1.1 billion. At one point, estrogen was the most prescribed medication in North America, helping countless women navigate their menopausal years with greater ease. But then something changed. Misinformation and unfounded fear about hormone replacement therapy spread, leading to widespread misconceptions. In this episode, I dive deep into the study that upended the lives of millions of women. We'll explore how trusted health practitioners have misled us about estrogen and hormone replacement therapy, and why it's crucial that women educate themselves and join me in spreading the word—so no one has to suffer unnecessarily.

Listen to the full episode here; https://karenmartel.com/end-suffering-transform-your-life-with-byron-katie/ In 1986, at the bottom of a ten-year spiral into depression, rage, and self-loathing, Byron Katie woke up one morning to a state of constant joy that has never left her. She realized that when she believed her stressful thoughts, she suffered, but that when she questioned them, she didn't suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Her simple yet powerful process of inquiry is called The Work. Eckhart Tolle says, "Byron Katie's Work is a great blessing for our planet." Time magazine calls Katie "a spiritual innovator for the new millennium." The Work consists of four questions and the turnarounds, which are a way of experiencing the opposite of what you believe. When you question a thought, you see around it to the choices beyond suffering. Katie has been bringing The Work to millions of people for more than thirty years. Her public events, weekend workshops, five-day intensives, nine-day School for The Work, and 28-day residential Turnaround House have brought freedom to people all over the world. Byron Katie's books include the bestselling Loving What Is, I Need Your Love—Is That True?, A Thousand Names for Joy, and A Mind at Home with Itself. For more information, visit www.thework.com .

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.

In this Q&A episode, I answer the listener's questions. I had some send through their question on Speakpipe in audio form and here are some of the written questions sent in: I started Hormone therapy almost a year ago and has been life changing for me. But I want to talk to someone (like you) that knows their stuff. If what I am doing is the best for me. Is that something yall can do? hello! I've been listening to your podcast for a while now and enjoy it very much. I'm a 39 year old woman who has gained about 8 pounds in the last 6 months with no changes to lifestyle or food. In fact I have been cutting out all extra sugars and processed foods. IDK what else to do! What are your favorite skincare products that are free of chemicals? I have hypothyroidism and trying to eliminate as many toxins in my diet and skincare! I've listened to your podcasts, but I have a question. I'm 50 years old, definitely in perimenopause. I did a round of pellets in October, no need to say the least, won't be doing that again. In February I started on the low estrogen patch and 400mg ora progesterone at night. I feel a bit better, but I'm bleeding almost every day, annoying.. what should I do? What do I need from my provider? Thank you in advance! Hello, all! Okay, I have been on my journey for almost a year. I have had successes, but... I recently added thyroid meds (Liothyronine) a month ago and began injecting Semaglutide two weeks ago. My current concern is that I have become "tired"/low energy. In the last few weeks. Thoughts or advice? Hi Karen, I'm wondering what could cause periods that occur every other week. This just started happening to me in February along with awful water retention (sometimes upwards of 10 lbs) I do have hypothyroidism and possibly Hashimotos(not officially diagnosed but I have a suspicion) It was mentioned to me that I can not be on estrogen replacement therapy due to my age (33) so I'm assuming it low. Am I entering into perimenopause?? What could cause this to happen at such a young and what can I do? I should mention I am on 100mcg of Cytomel as well as 100 mg of progesterone and 5mg of testosterone or one click.. is there anything else I should look at? How do I manage this water retention? It's honestly beginning to run my life What do you know about the thyroid hormone T2? Is there a blood test available to check levels of T2? If so, what is the optimum range? Should someone with hypothyroidism take T2 or a supplement that raises T2 levels? Which ones? and more! Have a question for our next Q&A leave me an audio message at https://speakpipe/karenmartel Try the Thyroid Fixxr T2 supplement. Losing fat and getting your energy back never goes fast enough, and optimizing your thyroid doesn't either. The power of T2 to improve your body's ability to burn fat without the jittery, hyper side effects is simply amazing… and that's what you get with Thyroid Fixxr™.

In this Q&A Karen answers listeners' questions on all things hormones and weight loss. maymoon_design When you refer to HRT are these natural or synthetic hormones? I am having a very hard time with hot flushes. janelleminto Can HRT cause/ contribute to a thickening in the lining of the uterus? I recently had surgery to remove this and wondered if the hormones could be a cause. lcavazza66 If I struggle with progesterone replacement, is it ok to just use estrogen and testosterone? I can't sleep, gain weight and struggle with progesterone. I had severe PMDD when I was younger prior to partial hysterectomy. Labs show estrogen dominance but adding progesterone makes me feel worse. Kimdixonwiley How do you know how much HRT to prescribe when Canadian blood work only gives Estrogen and Progesterone not actual numbers? Carol What serology test should I get if I have been in menopause for 2 years. Estrogen will be low but what are the levels we are hoping to achieve for both estrogen and progesterone? If supplementing how often should we check this - serology and with the Dutch? Md say levels will fluctuate so they don't want to do testing - how can we make our case to them to get it done? How do I know a progesterone is bioidentical? Jennifer Hi Karen, I love your podcast as you are so informative! I'm 46 and have been on my current hrt for 6 months. I experienced a lot of side effects at the beginning of my hrt. I had migraines and felt depressed and extremely emotional. This went on for months and was debilitating. So my provider put me on the following treatment to assist with the symptoms stating I was really estrogen dominant and needed more progesterone. I have noticed I feel better when I'm not taking any progesterone during my period. Is it possible to have too much progesterone and then have adverse effects? I don't feel like I'm reaping any of the benefits so many others have with progesterone. Pam Hi Karen! I'm 59 and was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in my early 20s after my 1st child. I'm just wondering if something is off b/c it seems like my hair is really thinning. I'm taking Armour Thyroid 90 mg daily. My doctor says everything is normal. I'm also struggling with weight loss resistance. I know this is a lot but would really appreciate any insight you may have. I love listening to your podcasts, I learn so much! Thanks for all you do and know that you're making a difference in the lives of many! KK Hi Karen! After listening to your podcast a couple of years ago, I got my hormones checked and found a Functional Practitioner to go over my health - she confirmed I was in Menopause and that my Progesterone was flat-lining, my Testosterone and Estrogen were low. My question is, Should I be getting better results? I still struggle with quality sleep and maintaining lubrication and holding onto menopausal weight, I have still been having DHEA (50mg per day). My practitioner believes that the DHEA is better to boost than Progesterone or Testosterone. Should I expect better results or am I being ridiculous? Luhu Hi Karen, Your number one fan here :) Studying with FDN to become a practitioner, very well-versed in gut health, hormones, etc but cannot figure out my own body since menopause! When my estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone all went very low—6 for E and T, I gained weight all over and can't lose it. Also developed chronic gut issues in menopause despite no gluten, no dairy, no sugar, (no fun!). SO Q: I started on the estrogen patch applying one half of the .025 dose, next day I added the next half, felt so much more energy and felt like I started losing lbs but quickly developed heartburn/reflux and felt a little overstimulated (maybe an adhesive ingredient in the patch? I'm very sensitive), I also felt some discomfort in my liver/gallbladder area even though I support both. I waited 3 weeks before adding progesterone due to past issues (ok'd by DR), then applied Quicksilver Scientific's topical progesterone 8mg and all hell broke loose. Within 2 days I retained so much water, and looked like I'd gained another 10lbs, belly got so swollen from diaphragm down and I felt weird pinching-like gas pains in ribs under right breast and then it moved to under left breast and the heartburn/reflux got worse. I had to stop both hormones :(. Please help, what do you think is going on with my body? Jean clark I'm almost 54 (bday in May) my local naturopath prescribed bio-identical hormone replacement without having me do a hormone test first. Should I be taking a hormone test before just going ahead with a prescription? It is all so confusing. Thanks!! Anonymous What is your morning routine? What time do you eat breakfast and what do you eat? Do you drink coffee? Could not eating breakfast actually raise your blood sugar? Anonymous Hi Karen, I was wondering how your experience with Fully Vital hair growth system has been? Thank you, Gail Anonymous How does one determine when it's appropriate to use 50/50 Biest or use only estradiol? (I'm referring to your Nov 18/22 podcast with Dr. Felice Gersh.) Thank you! Milly Hi Karen, Thanks for taking my question. I started transdermal testosterone to optimize my levels last November, we're still trying to find that sweet spot as it's still plummeting per my January report where it was at 8. I'm due to go at the end of February to check on testosterone levels again, I'm sure (I hope) my doctor is going to check my other hormone levels to see where I'm at. Also, per my last lipid panels (Sep 2022) my total cholesterol and LDL levels have gone out of range for the first time. Taking all this into consideration, what would be the best day of the cycle to test ALL my hormones assuming I get my cycle eventually? Thank you, Milly Hi Karen, thanks so much for all the amazing information you share. My question is about heart palpitations. I'm 40 and the last few months they have been getting pretty intense the last half of my cycle so I'm pretty sure they are hormone related. I recently had a Dutch test in December and my estrone and estradiol were above range, estriol was in range. Estrogen is favoring the 2OH pathway but my methylation activity is low. Progesterone was in range. I've been using oral and the bio labs progesterone cream for more than two years now and it has helped with many symptoms, especially sleep. Besides the heart palpitations, I also get irritable around my cycle and again after ovulation. Feel pretty good besides that. Any ideas as to what's causing the sudden increase in heart palpitations? Thanks so much for your help! Gates 44 I guess my question is should mild symptoms be addressed? I have hot flashes that are bad for a few months then subside for a month or two. I have dry skin but I live in Canada so dry harsh winters, have had dry skin for years. I do have a low sex drive, but again I never had a high one either. Yes I do have more trouble sleeping for sure, but not sure that is enough to go on a drug. So please answer me should I do something or not? I am 56 years old and had an ablation done almost 17 years ago, so have not had a period since I was 39. Ira What is the window to start hrt and how long can you stay on hrt to get the full benefits? Do you believe by doing extended fasting (24+hrs) you do lose lean muscle tissue? Kathie Hi Karen, In trying to balance hormones, I've had some occasional bleeding. A recent biopsy was clear of anything being an issue. Is it normal to have a "period" with hrt? My regime has been a .25/1 mg estradiol/testosterone troche in the a.m., and 200mg progesterone in pm for about two months. In that time, I've had a period two times as well. Thank you! Sally I'm 49 years old and recently had a hysterectomy sparing my ovaries. I've suffered from extremely heavy periods for years and even through a year of chemo for brain cancer. My OB/GYN wanted to put me on birth control or the Mirena but I refused as I've attempted BC over the years with poor results. I had a terrible episode of anxiety/depression and cognition issues so she sent me to a psychiatrist and they put me on antidepressants which have helped some. Finally, she ordered a D&C due to the uncontrollable bleeding and precancerous cells were found hence the hysterectomy in late December. I spoke with her about hormone replacement and she said I'd probably be better off without it because my hormones made me so miserable with the fluctuations throughout my lifetime I went to my PCP because I couldn't sleep and she gave me Trazadone and said just wait and my hormones would settle. Then I talked to the Psychiatrist and told her about the temperature irregularities (inability to control my body temperature) and she increased my Effexor saying it had a vasomotor response. I'm a little fed up with all of the women doctors (all in their midlife and my OB is part of NAMS) giving me the runaround. I'm not crazy. I've medically been through a lot but this should be easy. I thought at first that the multiple brain surgeries had messed up my mind but after listening to you I think it's probably just my hormones. Thank you, Karen Anonymous Lots of talk about hormone replacement therapy at the beginning of transferring through perimenopause to menopause. My question to you is, what are the options for an almost 60-year-old who is past 10 years of being in menopause? We are still concerned about the future health of the heart, bones, brain, etc. Also, where can I find published current studies or research proving that bio-identical hormone replacement theory is safe? I would like to present to my doctor as she is a nonbeliever. Thank you! Beth Hi Karen, I have been on Estrogen replacement since age 36 when I had a total hysterectomy with bilateral ovaries removed due to aggressive endometriosis at the time. I'm now 55, and I've struggled with 15 pounds of too much weight ever since. My libido sucks, Intercourse is painful, I'm a professional insomniac and have been dependent on magnesium supplements and Trazadone to help me sleep for 10 years! and I also have low energy. I'm thinking I need to address my hormone therapy, currently, it's an Estradiol patch of 0.037mg changed every 3 days. I really would love your help. I have been eating a green Mediterranean diet and avoided sweets and processed foods for the last 3 months, cut alcohol 🍷 down to 1 or 2 glasses per week. (It used to be a glass of wine 5 days a week 😳) and the scale won't budge!! I do exercise with daily walking and realize a weight-lifting routine needs to be established to get more muscles engaged. I'm thinking progesterone would help, but I want to do this right, so I'm seeking your guidance! Thank you! Beth Lisa What peptide specifically is best for weight loss? Anonymous Hi Karen, a listener from the UK! I've had 4 occurrences of breast cancer over the last 17 years, the last occurrence has metastasized, but my treatment is, fortunately, keeping things stable and my tumor markers are within normal range. I have had medically induced menopause since the start (I was 39) with severe hot flashes, night sweats, and brain fog and I'm now at the natural age of menopause. I've developed CCCA alopecia on my crown. My cancer is estrogen triggered so I can't have any form of HRT. I have been steadily gaining weight. I am leading a generally ketogenic lifestyle as it helps with managing IBS. My scoliosis from birth is starting to get worse and my mobility has suffered. I now have high blood pressure. I'm a mess - is there any hope of getting back on track? Interested in joining our NEW Peptide Weight Loss Program? Get the details here.

Join host Karen as she sits down with two of her favorite women, Danielle Daem and Danielle Hamilton, for a roundtable discussion on the wild world of sugar addiction. In this episode, we answer listeners' questions on all things sugar! What are your fav supplements to help with insulin resistance? I know I shouldn't be eating junk but it keeps sneaking back into my life. Where should I even start? Common advice I hear is, "listen to your body." How can I know if I can even trust what my body is telling me? How does one best manage their hormones when heading into the perimenopausal state as it relates to blood sugar regulation? I'm terrified of feeling my emotions and don't even know where to start. How do I navigate the emotional work without falling apart? How do I discover what's really at the root of my addiction to sugar? Dani H. Is eating whole fruits (dried or fresh) going to cause insulin resistance the same way that sugar or sweets or breads etc... will? Also, what would the best options be when someone wants a little something sweet? My blood sugar is usually around 108-120 in the morning after waking up. I want to get it below 100. I do not want diabetes. I know I have insulin resistance issues. I am post menopausal. I take excellent blood sugar supplements and exercise. I eat healthy and have been trying more plant based eating, always with a lot of vegetables. I still have meat once in a while. What is the best way to bring this number down in the morning and stay more balanced throughout the day? My father is diabetic and I do not want to end up there. Thank you! 44 years old. Fasting blood sugar is never good— always 100-115 in the morning (7am-noon) no matter if I ate at 11pm or hadn't eaten for 18 hours and no matter how little or much sugar I ate. Thyroid labs all normal, but many symptoms of hypothyroid- weight gain, fatigue especially. Chicken or the egg here? Thyroid causing issues with blood sugar or blood sugar causing issues with thyroid? Or something else completely? Nothing seems to move the needle on either except thyroid speeding up if things move toward the hyper side of range or just out… but not sure what made that happen in the first place. Losing hope and money trying to stop this and heal since labs are in range- western med drs are useless. It's in my head, right, hah. Holistic drs have only helped me with parts of healing (no more mold, candida, etc), but no one can solve the weight and exhaustion issue. I live a very clean lifestyle in terms of food and products and air/water.

Q&A with Karen Anonymous Hello, I have had hair loss, Hashimotos since 50yrs on thyroid medication t4. I tried supplements with vitamin b complex but my hair is very thin and has no shine. I have increased my protein intake. What else can I do? Mary What are the options if testosterone is low but taking it (BHRT cream) causes facial breakouts? My Dutch showed my a/b very slightly to the androgen side. Thank you, Karen! Roxy Hi Karen- I love your show and all that you do! I am really having trouble with progesterone. I've tried it in every form- pill, cream and now suppository, but I'm still getting very bad side effects (acne, bloating, alternating between anger and crying, heartburn). I am on estrogen replacement so I know I need progesterone, but I really hate it. My gut is fine (I've had all the tests) so it is not that--my body just really hates progesterone. The dose is still low (100 mg/day)- I was on a lower dose but had to have a D & C because it wasn't enough to balance the estrogen. What can I do to help my body adjust? Will these symptoms ever go away? Also, I know you recommend taking it only 2 weeks/month, but my doctor says I need to take it every day (otherwise, I get a period every 2 weeks). I have been to several doctors (including Dr. Gersh) and no one can figure it out. Please help! Thank you so much! Kathy H Hi Karen! Enjoy your podcast and personality. Learn a lot each time. Wanting to know your opinions on best delivery method of Estradiol—patch, gel, troche? Have definitely ruled out pellets. My age is 55 and recently transitioned into menopause. Thank you! Beverly Good morning Karen, your podcast popped up on my Spotify the other day and I was thinking… interesting…I have no idea about my hormones ….I just know that my hair is thinning, I've got 49 extra pounds on, muffin top, swollen ankles , aches and pains… hormone therapy required??? I've done the weight loss programs out there including keto….taken supplements from health food store and purchase from doTerra… I will say that for the past two weeks I have been doing an exercise video from YouTube… 15-30 min depending on how stiff I am, I'm also an early riser 5:30…. I think that's it lol covered from head to toe lol …. I have listened to your podcast and so far so good ! I will be honest with you I am financially strapped, single and in my own … honestly, no reason to be overweight and sluggish…. I don't have to cook for anyone but me… I've given up flour products, root vegetables, and alcohol, I do not smoke ….I think that's it for now…lol definitely open for suggestions!! Thanks 🙏 Beverly Angie With bio-identical HRT in Menopause, is it important to follow the cyclic rhythm of your period, even though you no longer have one by increasing estradiol mid-cycle and stopping only progesterone the last week? Anonymous Can you talk about uterine fibroids: causes, cures (beside surgery), dietary help, anything that can shed light on this mystery that millions of women suffer from...? I am 44 and have 5 fibroids the size of lemons. Because of their position, they can only be removed by taking out the entire uterus. I would really like to avoid surgery! My doctor says the only other thing I can do is go on the pill to help with symptoms. I absolutely do not want to go on the pill! Thank you for your help! Lana I was wondering exactly how often I should use my progesterone cream. I started out using it every day and then went to every other week. But I think I heard you say it should be used no more often than every 2 weeks??? I use estradiol cream every day. Anonymous I am 45 and in perimenopause. I'm hearing a lot about leptin and how circadian rhythm influences your hormones. They are suggesting you eat within 30 minutes of getting up? Do you agree with that? (I have to get up at 5:00 every day)! I currently get up at 5:00, have a coffee with nutpods, exercise (yoga or low impact with dumbbells) and eat around 10:30-11, after I get the kids to school and get into the office.

In the medical world when it comes to hormones fail women all too often. You go to your medical provider complaining of symptoms like weight gain, low libido, hot flashes, insomnia, anxiety and the list goes on. We are typically met with an attitude of "This is "normal" you will get through it and here is a prescription drug (anti-depressants, sleeping pills, statins etc.) to help ease your symptoms." If you do decide to go outside of your general practitioner to get the help you need from a hormone clinic or prescriber, this can be as much of a challenge to face as it was with your doctor. Trying to find a knowledgeable hormone prescriber that meets all of your needs can be challenging and frustrating. This leaves thousands of women to suffer alone with their debilitating symptoms of peri and post-menopause. In today's episode, you are going to hear from Stacy a woman who experienced this situation and was left to fend for herself. Riddled with pain, being 30 pounds overweight, hot flashes, brain fog and fatigue she decided to reach out for help. Hear her amazing success story and how she was able to find herself again.

In this part 2 of my Q&A Deb What are optimal blood levels for progesterone, estrogen and testosterone in women over 60? Is there a ratio between estrogen and progesterone that is optimal? Lisa I am 54 and in full menopause. Should I be using topical estradiol and progesterone cream? I currently only use progesterone and the few times I have tried the estradiol cream I have felt very moody/pissy. I use the progesterone cream every other week. Thanks for all of your great info! Jodi I'm a 50-year-old post-menopausal woman with weight gain and abdominal/back/thigh fat increase in the last 3 years. Up 20# (down about 10 over the last 8 months) So based on your recommendations (and agreement from GYN) and my very low levels of progesterone, estrogens, and testosterone. I'm doing a combo bioidentical estrogen and testosterone vaginal cream and Oral Progesterone. First few months I just applied to my skin 2 pumps as directed but it often felt like more was getting in my underwear so I started using an insert tube thing. I haven't retested yet- on month 4, but am wondering if this is the best way to get the estrogen/testosterone. Would it be better to have them separated? Or a different form? Also, I've been taking a week off of the OMP. Is this still recommended? I'm an RD getting my certification in Functional nutrition and I do all the 'stuff' Eat clean, supplements, exercise, sleep and still weight loss is very slow and hard and any deviation from the above plan I seem to gain 2-5#. The hormones have helped with sleep and some of that weight loss occurred after taking but still, my body doesn't look like me. (More like my mom!!!) any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks again! Danielle Hi Karen, I've been reducing my refined sugar intake over the last year and I do well all month until the week of my cycle. Why do such intense cravings for sugar, especially chocolate, accompany periods? Which hormones are fluctuating that trigger this? Is it the drop in progesterone? Thank you! Anonymous I have a question about hormone replacement topical application. I know it is best to rotate application sites so as not to overload the hormone receptors. However, I am on four different hormone creams and wondering if it is sufficient to rotate the different hormones between each site, (are the hormone receptors specific to each hormone?) or should I be taking a break completely to give them a chance to reset? I am on DHEA, testosterone, estrogen/estradiol, and progesterone and I rotate those between the chest, inner wrist, and back of the knee. Thank you! Anonymous I have been following your podcast for a year now and I love your energy. Your show is very informative and gives us women hope!! I am 66 years old and had my last period at 55 so my question to you am I too old to start any hormone therapy or should I have begun therapy in perimenopause. Just in these last couple of years, I have been feeling low and not myself. I still work outside the home and am a busy grandmother of 4. At my age, I am still very busy and probably stressed with all the responsibilities I still have to encounter in my life. I still try and keep my body active by doing weight training 2-3 times a week and walking 2-3 times a week. I have this belly fat I can't get rid of. My sex drive is nil and has been for two years now. I am just not in a happy place and want to feel full again. I don't know where to start. Naty I have been struggling with sugar binges for over 50 yrs causing abdominal belly fat I walk every day 2 hrs. I have sugar cravings and tried herbal supplements but they do not work sugar is always there and I know I am very emotional and have low esteem. I have no sex drive Menaopause. So frustrated, what can I do? Luhu Hi Karen! Love you!... listen to all your podcasts and have learned so much, I'm a long-term beauty/health/nutrition journalist studying with FDN to become a practitioner and I hope to interview you one day! :) OK, I've always been fit and very lean but have gained 20lbs with menopause all over not just belly, it's like my whole outline is bigger…is this typical? I want to start BHRT and do it right, i.e. knowing my genetics and pathways so I lose this weight not gain more. Fear of that has stopped me so far….and worrying that my gut is not in top shape, but menopause itself makes the gut worse right? Do you see gut improvement with BHRT? My last stool test showed that my beta-glucuronidase was high BUT when I take any Phase 2 support now like calcium d-glucarate or DIM or even Resveratrol my weight instantly increases!! I've asked 2 functional med docs if this is because it's lowering my estrogen more and they said no something else is wrong. But my instinct was that it lowered my estrogen more LIKE YOU SAID! [I tried Dr. LB's Receptor Detox with a low-dose cal d-glucarate and this happened too.] Is this what you see? And do you recommend products like this DURING BHRT so that the hormones are detoxed well? My thyroid is actually good by Dr. Amie Hornaman's standard (though Reverse is 16.4, a bit high?)…however sex hormones are dismally low, both estradiol and free T are a 6 :( Can you remind me what BHRT you take again? I'm interested in the patch but unsure of progesterone amount/delivery…maybe not oral since my gut has been off/a bit SIBO-ish? Lastly since I'm sensitive to supps etc, do you recommend starting with a lower dose of the patch to ease into it and let the body adjust and then say go up to a 0.05? Oh wait, one more thing, there is a female doc on podcasts that talks about bringing FSH down to levels it was when we were younger…can that be done with say a .05 patch or does that take higher doses?

In this Q&A Kesha Hi, Karen. I am 44 and peri menopausal. My periods are all over the place. I'll go 50+ days with no cycle and then start my cycle. Recently I had a full cycle for 7 days. It got lighter towards the end. Then 5 days later I started my cycle again and had another full period. I take progesterone cream every 14 days and also testosterone injections every 4 days. I do feel great but the fluctuations in my cycle are frustrating. I do know this is just part of peri. My doctor said I may want to take progesterone every day for a while until my cycle is regulated. What do you think about this? Will using BioIdentical HRT prevent menopause or is it to help ease the symptoms of menopause? I have a friend whose doctor is trying to use HRT to push her thru menopause quickly. Anonymous Hi, I was diagnosed a year ago with Endometrial hyperplasia (without atypia) which has been under control using natural micronized progesterone pills (200mg) daily. Throughout the several past few years I've been having simple cysts in my ovaries that appear and go away by themselves but last April a mammogram was done on both my breasts and since then I've been having pain in my left breast on the left side of my nipple. An ultrasound was done twice after the mammography to check the health of my breasts and to try to know the source of the pain but nothing was seen except "Fibroadenosis" in both breasts. I have done some research and found that vitamin E and iodine can help in treating Fibroadenosis but I don't want to self-medicate as I know that iodine could affect the thyroid gland. I would like to try both iodine and vitamin E in doses that are monitored by a specialist. Lpeeterson When in full menopause should we be using both progesterone and estradiol cream? Sandijo I'm wondering about BHRT testosterone for menopausal women (approx 50-60yr old). I feel like I don't hear as much from experts on Testosterone for women. What is the optimal blood lab? Will it convert down the path into estrogen? Can I take it every day of the month? Better to take DHEA instead and let it convert to testosterone? Anonymous Okay my question is what do I eat to help with the immune system disease and inflammation to lose weight and yes I do have a leaky gut my cholesterol is high the other one is low my ferritin is high lupus is high Casey Hello! What causes weight fluctuations? I have hypothyroidism but am starting to think these weight fluctuations aren't thyroid related. I can be as much as 10 pounds heavier or lighter from day to day. I hate it! Jill Over heard that HRT won't work if you're over 10 years menopausal. Is that true? Courtenay Hi Karen! I have been dealing with hypothyroidism for over two years now, when first diagnosed my doc put me on 100mcg of Synthroid and reluctantly on 25 mcg of Cytomel. This seemed to work for me quite fast as I was able to lose about ten pounds without effort for the first time in my life! Fast forward one full year I gained that ten back and MORE over the span of two weeks this past January. Since the weight gain, I was able to find a provider to prescribe t3 only as I feel like I may have had a reverse t3 problem.. but as you know, I'm Canada they will not test. Since t3 only I feel better but still can't lose this stubborn weight I put on and it's really messing with me mentally. Any advice? Ps. I don't have insulin resistance. Natalie I am 51 and have been without a period for 4 months. My estrogen is very low and I am having all the symptoms, the worst being anxiety, fog and flashes.

Hi - I'm dealing with 40 extra lbs that came on suddenly and inexplicably between ages 35-40 (currently 40). I have a Stressful career, Thyroid that is now being optimized (split dose T3 and T4 at night) and confirmed mold which I'm remediating at home. Was once told I had high aluminum and haven't tested in 10 years. Could that be what's preventing me from losing any weight? Can you walk us through chelation - length of time, how you know it's working etc. Many thanks Karen!" Nina "Should I test hormone levels after starting HRT to see if I'm getting enough? And if so, how long after should I do so?" Mamacheryl123 "Is there anything that works as an appetite suppressant? Menopause with weight gain and now a fatty liver. I need to lose some weight I have been working out but stay hungry!!" Dana🥺 "Can low estrogen lead to UTI issues?"

How do you feel about testosterone replacement during peri and post menopause when free to is non existent. Plus what are some natural ways to help boost testosterone before replacement? How can you tell when your body is metabolically recovered from over dieting? Also, how can you tell if you are clearing inflammation from exercise (i.e., what markers can/should indicate recovery besides fatigue or muscle soreness)? Best approaches when you have hypothyroidism and possibly adrenal issues. How do you assess when to start bioidentical estrogen? What issues contribute to chronic pain?

Is it okay to combine estrogen and testosterone together in a compounded cream? Do hormones such as the estrogen patch and oral progesterone need to be taken forever? I'm 51 and post menopausal.

In today's episode, Dr. Stasha Gominak discusses the gut microbiome, the benefits of vitamin D in terms of the microbiome, the importance of B vitamins, and how the microbiome affects sleep and chronic insomnia. Find out what you can do to beat your insomnia with Dr. Stasha's ground breaking new protocol! Watch the video interview on YouTube "We repair in deep sleep. Inadequate time spent in deep sleep leads to disease. We are "treating" these diseases with medications. Medication is not wrong it's just not the best we can do. If we sleep normally we repair every night and we age more slowly. I believe that we can fix the neuro-chemical causes of all of the sleep disorders by replacing the chemicals that have been lacking." Dr. Gominak attended college in California and medical school at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, receiving her MD degree in 1983. She completed a Neurology residency in 1989 at the Harvard affiliated, Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. In 2004 Dr. Gominak moved with her husband to Tyler, Texas and began to concentrate on treating neurological illness by improving sleep. She published a pivotal article in 2012 proposing that the global struggle with worsening sleep was linked to reduced sun exposure. In 2016 she followed with a second article linking the change in the intestinal microbiome to the epidemic of poor sleep, and described a simple process for normalizing sleep and the intestinal bacterial population, called RightSleep®. drgominak.com Todays podcast is sponsored by Prolon The Fasting Mimicking Diet .

Pam: 41 year old female with menopausal levels of progesterone but normal estrogen levels. Just started taking bioidentical progesterone. I haven't noticed much difference in quality of life yet. How long does it normally take to notice some positive changes? I'm still gaining about a pound a month without doing anything different to diet or exercise. Will the progesterone help with weight loss as well? Thank you for always putting helpful information out there! I went to a herbalist and was told I have too much estrogen in my body but then was recommended estrogen supplements. Is there a such thing as bad (estrogen I have) and good estrogen (supplements)? Hi Karen! I'm a 57 y/o post surgical menopause at age 36. I had saliva cortisol levels done and I'm low in the AM and high the other 3 x a day during the testing. I have Hashimotos that seems well controlled and RA. Really struggling with weight loss resistance. I started IF with a 16 hr fast/8 hr eating window about 2 wks ago, trying to get macros to 20 PRO / 70 FAT /10 CARBS. I'm concerned that the stress of this could make my cortisol worse or throw off my thyroid balance. I'd really appreciate your thoughts. I'm not sure if it would be better to do the DNA testing or repeat hormone testing (done a year ago… estrogen dominant) or just try the IF a while and see. Down 2# so far. Thank you for all you do! Linda: Can fasting wreck my thyroid and hormones. I had a lot of success losing weight for 6 months then started gaining again, quickly. Kim: Hi Karen! I found your podcast episode with Dr. Brownstein fascinating. I did go out and purchase the Lugol's iodine, but I only took it a couple times BECAUSE, shortly afterward, I heard Dr. Alan Christianson on The Ultimate Health Podcast. He warned against iodine supplementation and seems to believe that high dose iodine actually causes thyroid disease. I'm so confused and don't know what to think. Have you heard of these conflicting views? I won't be using the supplement until I get a clearer understanding, but I just wondered your thoughts. Thanks so much! Yoyo: Hi Karen, I'm 59, what supplements are a must for my age? Insta follower: I love your podcast! I found you via Paul Saladino. I'm trying to binge listen to them all. Can you please let me know if there's a specific ratio of estrogen to progesterone? I'm in perimenopause (started at 37 but not diagnosed until just now at 40). I'm having symptoms of estrogen dominance (weight gain in hips, belly, HUGE BOOBS), fatigue, etc. Help!

Join for this information packed Q&A! Helen Is there any point having my blood test done when every cycle is different to the last? Symptom wise and sometimes length wise. Lesa I have been keto, carnivore and fasting with extended fast periodically for a year and a half with no weight loss. I am post menopausal and started HRT 6 months ago. I feel all of the thyroid symptoms but can't get anyone to listen. Thyroid labs look good except T3 is below optimal and RT3 is 30.1. I can't get into the endocrinologist for 6 months and fear he won't listen either. I feel in my heart pure T3 would get me on the way to healing and finally get my insulin down to be able to lose the 40 pounds that I gained in 4 months. I also have high ferritin that I read can keep insulin high. Gail Dr. Brownstein mentioned a specific type of iodine supplement to take. I'm currently working with my physician on my iodine levels and was wondering what the supplement was called/ what it included. If I remember correctly, he said you needed iodine and iodide in it? Emma I am 50 years old and for the most part feel pretty good despite the fact that I am in perimenopause. I am struggling with perimenopause weight gain, (gained 30 pounds since October) sleep. I am finally getting my hair to grow back in the front and my dry skin is getting better, my nails are healthy again. I eat as clean as possible. At this time, I can't afford to go see a functional doctor. So, I have been thinking of buying over the counter estrogen and progesterone bioidentical products. What would you recommend? Thank you for all the information you share with us! Sara Can a woman safely take a compounded bioidentical progesterone PILL? Is there a big difference between it vs cream? Wondering how you feel about bioidentical progesterone in pill form. Is it as safe as cream Gina Thanks – I always find your podcasts very interesting and there was a single "nugget" which I would like to know more about….. I would like to know more about how a vision test can determine toxicity levels? Lesa Are there optimal numbers we should strive to hit for estrogen, testosterone and progesterone when taking HRT or a ratio between them so we know if they need adjusted to feel our best? Milly Hi Karen. Thank you for taking questions for your Saturday podcast. I'm a 46 y.o. who's really bothered by the uncertainty of when my period is coming. It seems I'm into my Perimenopause stage and my cycle could be 19 days one month and others 29, I recently had a record of 41 days! Is there anything we can do other than bio identical hormones to help having more predictable/regular cycles? Thanks! Do you have a question for the next Q&A? Fill out this form.

Annie Hopper has a global mission. To take the "mystery" out of "mysterious illness". Hopper explains how brain trauma can be at the very root of chronic illness and disease. Moreover, Hopper empowers people with the tools that they need to rewire their brain, transform their health and reclaim their lives. Hopper is in the business of what others would call "medical miracles." Hopper knows what its like to suffer from a mysterious illness that the medical system cannot diagnosis or effectively treat. In 2004, while working as a busy counselor, newspaper columnist and talk show guest as an expert in Emotional Wellness, her health started to rapidly deteriorate. Mysterious symptoms like unexplainable insomnia, headaches, body aches and pains, chronic exhaustion and an increasing list of sensitivities ensued. Toxic overload was the eventual diagnosis. But even after undergoing detoxification treatments and an extensive list of healing treatments from over thirty different practitioners, her symptoms continued to escalate. This was the beginning of what can only be described as a type of science fiction nightmare. After almost 4 years of suffering that eventually led to homelessness, Hopper deduced that a toxic brain trauma was most likely at the root of her suffering. Hopper went on to creatively rewire the neural circuits in her brain that had been altered due to toxic trauma and the symptoms of illness eventually dissipated. In 2008, Hopper founded The Dynamic Neural Retraining System, a drug free, neuroplasticity-based healing approach to rewire chronic illness disease patterns in the brain as seen in Chemical Sensitivities, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and many other chronic illnesses. Annie Hopper has lectured throughout North America and abroad, educating both patients and doctors alike about the connection between environmental toxins, brain trauma and physical health. https://retrainingthebrain.com/ Todays show is sponsored by BetterHelp.

At 26, Annie Grace was the youngest Vice President in a multinational company's history, and her drinking career began in earnest; by 35, she was in a global C-level marketing role, responsible for 28 countries. Drinking close to two bottles of wine a night became a ritual. Annie Grace's professional success came at a personal price she no longer wanted to pay. She knew alcohol was no longer serving her. Yet, she didn't want to suffer through life in a daily battle for sobriety, feeling deprived and constantly trying to avoid temptation. Annie Grace revamped her own relationship with alcohol — she stripped it of its power and changed her beliefs about booze being a reward — and today she helps others across the globe do the same. Her approach helps people where rehabs have not. She's created a brand new way to look at the role of alcohol in our lives, establishing a safe space for those who question their drinking but haven't self-diagnosed as alcoholics stuck in denial of an incurable disease. Annie Grace preaches compassion, knowing its power over shame and blame is the best way to achieve lasting change. And, she offers a proven alternative to the largely ineffective recipe for so-called "success"—the one that says anything less than 100% abstinence is failure. Annie Grace doesn't teach people how to be sober; she helps them quash their desire to drink in the first place. Annie Grace

My top 10 lessons learned in 2020 Lesson 9 Night sweats. Mood swings. Insomnia. Hot flushes. Weight gain. Headaches. Depression. Anxiety. Dry Skin. Vaginal Atrophy . . . I could go on. It's a sad list, isn't it? Yet these are just a few of the often times debilitating side-effects of peri-menopause and menopause. You would hope that a list of such symptoms in women in their 40s and 50s would be enough to at least pique a doctor's interest and encourage them to find a solution. But unfortunately that is not the case. Instead women are being met with ignorance and even sexism by the people who they regard as medical professionals including Medical doctors, Functional MD's, Nutrition Coaches and even Hormone "experts"! The number of postmenopausal women has only risen over time. Statistics show that in the year 1998, only 477 million postmenopausal women were present in the world however, this number is expected to rise to around 1.1 billion by 2025. Estrogen at one time was the #1 prescribed medicine in North America. Helping women all around the world sail through their menopausal years. Then something changed and the world became misinformed and unjustifiably scared of hormone replacement. In this episode I carefully go over the study that ruined millions of women's lives. How we have been mislead into believing from our highly respected health practitioners that estrogen and hormone replacement therapy is bad. Why it is of the utmost importance that women educate themselves on this and help me to spread the word so women do not have to suffer needlessly.

My top lessons learned in 2020. Keto, carnivore, fasting and one meal a day (OMAD) have taken the dieting world by a storm for the last few years. In 2017-2018 I was all over the ketogenic, fasting based diets. These diets work and they can provide easy weight loss for many people. But over the last few years I started seeing negative side effects from these diets. Including weight gain, thyroid problems, adrenal issues, anxiety, insomnia, hair loss, loss of menstruation and more! I had to come up with a way to utilize these diets for their benefits without the negative side effects. In this episode I break it all down for you. why these diets work in the beginning what does the research show when it comes to the best diets how I use keto, fasting and carnivore in my own practice what I started to witness in my own practice and membership groups what the negative side effects are and why they happen what I discovered that could allow women to get the benefits of these diets with the negative consequences the evolutionary purpose of being able to produce and survive off ketones but what long term production signals to our bodies what it does to our hormones and metabolism what OMAD really is and much more!

My top 10 lessons learned in 2020! Social media has been linked to higher levels of loneliness, envy, anxiety, depression, narcissism and decreased social skills. I realized this year that often times after scrolling through Facebook and Instagram that I felt less then. Without meaning to I was comparing myself to women that I was seeing online. Our expectations of what we should look like is being controlled by what we see online which unfortunately isn't realistic. There is a small population, very small, of women that have so called "perfect bodies." The majority of the population has stretch marks, cellulite, muffin tops, tummy flaps, skin imperfections, fine lines, wrinkles etc. So this year I implemented some great tools to help keep a body positive attitude.

On this week's Q&A 1. Dominique "Hi - I have come round to the fact that I have a food addiction but here's the thing.... is not junk food - I eat very healthy paleo/carnivore. But it's the quantity and emotional eating. Do you, or do know anyone who I can go to for help with this. Any website I can turn to? I trust you and your advice so much I would love some direction." 2. Ketograms5 "Should all post menopausal women be on bio identical estrogen and progesterone?" 3. Eldav "Wondering how you feel about bioidentical progesterone in pill form. Is it as safe as cream?" 4. Corine "Hi Karen! Loving your podcasts and all the fascinating info! I was wondering what your advice would be for very heavy periods. I'm 33 and in my 20s I had 5 years of functional hypothalamic amenorrhea. I'm now having crazy heavy periods (first day light, then 3 days of nothing then 3 days of the bloody Mississippi!(changing my heavy tampon every hour) then 3-4 days of lighter (10 days total menstruation) so much blood loss is affecting my energy and performance levels. And I'm eating a lot of meat to try to gain some blood volume and iron back but it's hard! I also get PMS symptoms before or during my period. (Moody, depressed, emotional, sore boobs). I've also noticed weight gain in my muffin tops and stomach.... I don't want to have to go on an IUD. Is there any other options. EstroSmart seemed to help with PMS a bit but the last podcast with Dr. Saladino scared me because a lot of the ingredients in there, he advised are toxic." 5. Kylee "Hey Karen, I just came across your podcast and I'm loving it. I'm 27 and just had my last (3rd) baby. I've been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis and IBS, I also have a lactose intolerance. All of these things work against me and eating raw veggies, meat really hurts my stomach, so weight loss is a real struggle because every healthy lifestyle revolves around a clean diet which I absolutely love veggies and fresh fruit but it makes me super sick. Is this something that others have issues with when their hormones are off? Or is it just a medical issue that I need to take medication for. (I've tried many medications and many diet restrictive diets) yet I feel really crummy. And it's worsened with each new baby. So my question is; Can medically diagnosed health conditions be treated with hormone therapy?" 6. Lacey "I am a 33 y.o. and have been happily doing a meat heavy diet. I have been breastfeeding a 4 month old. my question is: is it pretty normal to have interrupted sleep (difficulty falling back asleep while breastfeeding)? I try to go to bed as early as I can after dark but have been lying awake and unable to sleep from early am hours (sometimes 2-3 am until dawn) while listening to my husband and baby sleep in the bedroom around me. This sleeplessness isn't every night. Increasing carbs has helped with my sleep and perceived stress levels...more rice, cooked fruit, cooked root vegetables."

Q&A with Karen 1. Can low Iron cause secondary thyroid issues? 2. If you do resistance training 2 weeks of the month and something lighter the other 2, will you loose the gains every 2 weeks? 3. Hi I recently found your website via your interview with Dr Paul Saladino and I am fascinated with your approach to balancing hormones. Every month, my 21 year old daughter, on her first day of her period is violently ill with vomiting and/or diarrhea, for about 5-6 hours and then she recovers and everything is back to normal. This has been occurring for about the last two year. She is normal weight, and active. She follows a loose keto diet - whole foods, with limited processed foods and sugar. Her GP simply prescribed anti nausea tablets, which don't help. Do you have any ideas or directions we can take? 4. I have non-Hashimoto hypothyroidism. I'm on NDT. I've also had adrenal issues in the past but haven't tested recently. I started a carnivore diet 2 months ago. I've been horribly weak, light-headed, shaky and even labored breathing at times. I'm 5'3" and ~98-100 lbs. Dr. Saladino recommended I add more carbs immediately so I added olives, avocado, honey the past couple days but still feel very weak and shaky. Currently: I'm eating 1-1.5 lbs of meat, suet, bone broth, 3 egg yolks and a large romaine salad with cucumbers, olives, avocado, EVOO & lemon juice per day. Prior to carnivore I was veggie heavy Paleo with low amount of animal protein. I was weak and light headed then hence the carnivore diet. I started out feeling better the first try but horrible this time though I see improvements to hair growth and less loss (though dry) and other positive changes. Sometimes feels like adrenals are maybe stressed like you talk about. A naturopath monitors my thyroid/adrenals however we have never tested my RT3. Thank you! 4. Hi Karen I love your podcast I have a quick question for you I eat fairly well lower carb paleo type diet with a few cheats here and there but I have noticed in the last few years that I have been getting progressively more constipated. I have always suffered with it but it seems to be getting worse and there are times I won't go for 4-5 days at a time. Any suggestions?

This week's Q&A ask me anything! Karen ~ I stumbled across your podcast and have been binging listening for the past week or so. thank you so much for all of the awesome content. I have my labs from my primary low T3, low estrogen and low Leutenizing hormone. I just sent in my blood sample for cortisol and thyroid plus from "lets get checked" (waiting on those results). I also completed your quiz and triggered for high cortisol, which is 💯 I work in healthcare and have extreme professional and personal stress for years, along with chronic exercise. I competed in 2 NPC bikini competitions last year. I've been monitoring my BS and ketone levels this week. As well as started a paleo/keto with root veggies for carbs. I've noticed some great changes. I also started the gut cleanse protocol from microbe formulas. I've struggled with GI issues, primarily constipation bloating for years. My question is how do I know where to start... your podcast stated fasting can increase stress ... my gut ... my thyroid... I want to start but just unsure where to begin 🙃 any advice is so appreciated!! TIA Hi Karen I love your podcast and I am learning so much! My question is What are the basic supplements every woman should be taking? How can you maintain a healthy eating lifestyle when your spouse/significant other is not on board? Hi Karen thank you for answering my questions I really have been enjoying your Q&A podcasts. I have a two part question for you What's your take on cbd and thc for therapeutic purposes and any suggestions on natural remedies for anxiety? Hi Karen love your podcast! I am 44 years old and relatively active I have been following a low carb diet now for a few years but have stopped losing weight. I would still consider myself overweight and could handle losing another 20 pounds. I love your idea on diet variation and have started to implement it into my diet. My questions is does a person need ot lower their fat intake in order to lose weight? In your diet variation protocol you talk about carb cycling but not fat cycling. I have always thought low fat the better but maybe that's not the case should we cycle the fat what is best for weight loss? Thanks. If you have a question for our next Q&A please fill this form out.

1. What is a good source of progesterone and estriol to buy in Canada. (I get into the different ways you can buy hormones in the States and Canada.) 2. I just heard a keto educator say that women with thyroid issues should not eat too many cruciferous vegetables. I haven't heard this before. What do you think about this? 3. I listened to your interview with Kate Deering who talked with you about eating more carbs. I've been on a very low carb diet. That talk made me think I should be adding more carbs, even as a diabetic. They do tend to make me gain weight, but maybe I should get my body more used to them. What do you think? 4. Does a person have to do keto or carb cycle when their hormones aren't functioning properly? Does cutting out things like gluten, sugar, dairy, eggs etc (intolerance foods) help speed up the healing?

In 1986, at the bottom of a ten-year spiral into depression, rage, and self-loathing, Byron Katie woke up one morning to a state of constant joy that has never left her. She realized that when she believed her stressful thoughts, she suffered, but that when she questioned them, she didn't suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Her simple yet powerful process of inquiry is called The Work. Eckhart Tolle says, "Byron Katie's Work is a great blessing for our planet." Time magazine calls Katie "a spiritual innovator for the new millennium." The Work consists of four questions and the turnarounds, which are a way of experiencing the opposite of what you believe. When you question a thought, you see around it to the choices beyond suffering. Katie has been bringing The Work to millions of people for more than thirty years. Her public events, weekend workshops, five-day intensives, nine-day School for The Work, and 28-day residential Turnaround House have brought freedom to people all over the world. Byron Katie's books include the bestselling Loving What Is, I Need Your Love—Is That True?, A Thousand Names for Joy, and A Mind at Home with Itself. For more information, visit thework.com.

At first, Paul, was put on the most common thyroid treatment - Levothyroxine (also known as Synthroid or T4). However, the majority of his symptoms remained, much like they do for many on T4-therapy. Over time he became even more ill, with both low cortisol and low thyroid symptoms. His scientific background enabled him to fight through the morass of misinformation and recover his health. He has accumulated a wealth of knowledge on thyroid and adrenal dysfunction. He was eventually able to recover using T3-only replacement therapy. He has written 3 books: The Thyroid Patients Manual, Recovering with T3 and The CT3M Handbook. In this episode: Paul's own story of recovering from Hashimotos.
