616. The TRUTH About Overcoming Pain And PMS
In case you didn't know, I struggled with extreme PMS symptoms and PCOS. I was on the floor in my chiropractic clinic after a cyst burst and my husband had to literally pick me up and take me home. It can be a long journey to work with hormone issues, but I'm here to tell you that it really can be done and there are thousands of women who are committing to doing the work and sharing their stories.
I wanted to share this case study with you, because I find that the journey of other women with similar symptoms can be the best encouragement and inspiration. I've been working with this individual for a YEAR and it's a big change from the 30 year old who was so desperate she was willing to remove her uterus entirely.

614. How Your Hormones Impact Fat Burning
Hormone levels play a direct and indirect role in how the body utilizes and stores fat.
Estrogen, dominant in the first half of your cycle, plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism. Higher levels of estrogen are associated with increased carb burning, which is why I often incorporate carb cycling in this phase of my cycle
Progesterone, on the other hand, exhibits distinct fat burning qualities. Research indicates that progesterone may enhance lipid metabolism, promoting the breakdown of fat for energy.
Listen along as we break down other hormones including testosterone and cortisol and how to manage expectations for your body.

612. The Powerhouse Antioxidant You Need More Of: Glutathione
While you may not have heard about glutathione, you've probably heard about antioxidants and how important they are for healthy cells and wellness.
Glutathione is one of the most powerful antioxidants naturally produced in the body, playing a crucial role in protecting cells from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. Its importance lies in its ability to neutralize free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can harm cells and contribute to various health issues, including aging, inflammation, and chronic diseases.
One of the key reasons why glutathione is particularly important for women is its interaction with female hormones. Glutathione helps support hormonal balance by aiding in the detoxification of hormones such as estrogen. It helps eliminate excess estrogen from the body, which is beneficial as high levels of estrogen can lead to hormone imbalances, menstrual irregularities, and other health problems.
Glutathione also plays a role in supporting the liver, which is responsible for metabolizing hormones. By enhancing liver function, glutathione indirectly contributes to maintaining healthy hormone levels in women. Listen to the full episode for some natural sources of glutathione and how to incorporate this into your daily routine!
