Dr. Brooke Show

Amidst polarizing, conflicting, and often alarming health and hormone information, The Dr Brooke Show is a voice of sanity where a sensible and nuanced take is honored. Black-and-white thinking, complex daily routines, and hormone advice that get you lost in minutia are not welcome here, but you are. With your host Dr Brooke Kalanick, functional medicine doctor and female hormone expert, you’ll sift through the nonsense and get to what matters most for your hormones and your happiness. Deep dive with expert interviews as well as Dr. Brooke’s solo episodes will give you the solutions you need. Dr Brooke is a speaker, author, and unlike most online experts: still a doc in full-time practice working with real women every day. Like you, she is navigating the moving target that is female hormones through the years and trying to live life more like interval training vs. a marathon: work hard but also recover, learning when to have more grit or when to have more grace. Oh, and also trying not to give her kids too much to talk about in therapy someday. Her promise to you is at least one actionable takeaway from each episode to help you BETTER today. New episodes every Tuesday because a fresh take doesn’t have to happen on a Monday. Any day, any moment is a chance to heal a bit, love ourselves more, make a better choice, and just maybe change our lives. If this week’s topic isn’t for you, check past episodes and stay tuned for next week as a lot of ground is covered on this show! Whether you are 20 or 60, you deserve to understand how your hormones work and how you can feel your best.

    Dr Brooke Show Why Some Women Can’t Tolerate Progesterone

    For more info on how I can help you visit my site BetterByDrBrooke. Progesterone is often an absolute godsend making us feel calmer, less bonkers, able to sleep and simply like things are gonna be OK.  It is an important part of an HRT regimen, yet some women do not feel much of a benefit from it and yet others feel mild to severe anxiety, irritability, insomnia or even panic from it. This episode talks about the reasons why you may not be tolerating progesterone and what you can do about it.  Stuff I Know You Will Love   Aging is a part of life, but our cells don’t always complete their normal life cycle so well due to a host of factors in our modern world. When cells don’t go through a healthy life cycle process they become what are called “zombie cells” - nonfunctional and unhelpful but still sucking up resources from the healthy cells around them. This process of senolysis can be aided by key ingredients found in Neurohacker’s amazing product: Qualia Senolytic. Clear out those dead cells and see your brain, skin and body come back alive.

    Dr Brooke Show #421 Gut Health + Microbiome Shifts In Perimenopause

    For more info on how I can help you, visit my site BetterByDrBrooke. We talk a lot about how hormones and the gut are very interconnected and in this episode, I take a deeper dive into how the changes in estrogen and progesterone in midlife impact our microbiome diversity, the integrity of our gut lining and more. And it’s a mess (much like midlife) in that hormone shifts impact the microbiome and microbiome shifts impact hormones. But the good news is that gut health is an area where you can intervene and have big impacts in how you feel and your overall health.    Stay tuned for the next episode as well where I will be answering questions on hormones and digestion taken from my Facebook group!  Stuff I Know You Will Love NAD levels start to decline by up to 65% between ages 30 and 70 and this can lead to more signs of aging, less energy and worse recovery. Qualia NAD+ is formulated to target the entire process our cells undergo to make, use and then recycle NAD+ for optimal results that you can see and feel. With so many NAD boosting products out there, what sets Qualia NAD+ apart is that it uses three different precursors to support the various ways our cells make NAD+ and its very holistic formula supports this production pathway from start to finish with enzyme cofactors as well as raw materials.
