    Fix Your Gut, Fix Your Hormones

    Your Gut Is Controlling Your Hormones — And No One Told You You've done everything right. You're on hormone therapy. Your labs look fine. So why do you still feel terrible? The answer may have nothing to do with your hormone levels — and everything to do with what's happening in your gut. Most practitioners are treating your hormones and your gut as two completely separate systems. But they're not. Your estrogen is being processed, packaged, and either properly excreted or reabsorbed into your bloodstream based entirely on the state of your gut microbiome. If the bacteria in your gut are out of balance, that estrogen doesn't leave your body the way it should. It gets recirculated — in a damaged, more carcinogenic form. And that's just the beginning of what a dysbiotic gut does to your hormones. Dr. Terri sits back down with board-certified endocrinologist Dr. Cassie Smith, whose new book on the gut-hormone connection is already an Amazon bestseller, to pull back the curtain on the twenty to thirty percent of women who do everything right and still don't get better. The problem isn't the hormone. The problem is the gut that can't process it. This episode is for every woman who has been told her labs are "normal" while she's living with brain fog, mood swings, breast tenderness, constipation, and a body that feels like it's working against her. What you'll discover: Why your gut contains 100x more DNA than the rest of your body — and what that means for your health The "Saran wrap" explanation of estrogen metabolism and what happens when bad gut bacteria poke holes in it Why giving someone more estrogen when their gut is inflamed just creates more side effects — not better results How constipation and breast cancer are more connected than any oncologist is telling you The medications your provider may be prescribing that are quietly destroying your gut microbiome — including antacids, statins, SSRIs, and oral contraceptives Why hormones can be "present in the blood" but completely unable to enter your cells — and what's locking the door The real drivers behind the rise in PCOS, endometriosis, and infertility in younger women What your morning routine, wearables, and news consumption may be doing to your cortisol — and downstream to your hormones Why an FSH under five may be the most important number in a woman's hormone picture — and how Dr. Terri uses it clinically The ten practical steps from Dr. Cassie's book to start cleaning up your gut today The bottom line: You are not Prozac-deficient. You are not Xanax-deficient. You are not Ambien-deficient. Fix the gut, and the hormones finally have somewhere to go.

    Your Labs Are Normal But You Ache and Feel Tired All The Time?

    Millions of people leave their doctor's office with "normal" bloodwork — and still feel terrible. Fatigued, foggy, anxious, in pain. If that's you, Dr. Terri has a message: your labs aren't lying, but the reference ranges might be. In this solo episode, Dr. Terri breaks down exactly why the standard of care is failing patients, how clinical reference ranges have quietly shifted to accommodate a sicker and sicker population, and what comprehensive, preventative testing actually looks like — including a full list of labs you can bring to your next appointment. If you've been dismissed, minimized, or told to just get older gracefully — this one is for you. Labs Dr. Terri recommends asking your provider for: Thyroid TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Free T3 Free T4 Reverse T3 TPO Antibodies (Thyroid Peroxidase) Hormones Testosterone (men and women) Estrogen DHEA FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) LH (Luteinizing Hormone) Progesterone (especially if dealing with infertility or irregular cycles) 4–5 Point Salivary Cortisol Panel Metabolic Fasting Insulin (optimal: 9–12) Hemoglobin A1C Full Lipid Panel with particle size and ApoLipoprotein analysis (NMR panel or Cleveland Clinic panel recommended) CRP (C-Reactive Protein) — inflammatory marker Nutrients Vitamin D (optimal: 60–100) Vitamin B12 (optimal: 800+) Ferritin / Iron stores (optimal: 70–150) RBC Magnesium (red blood cell level — not serum) Omega-3 Index (omega-3 to omega-6 ratio) Gut GI Map Test Your symptoms are real.

    Still Staring At The Ceiling at 2 AM? A Sleep Expert Explains Why

    Your child's "ADHD," your brain fog, your hormone imbalances — they may all trace back to one root cause that almost nobody is checking. And it starts with how your face grew. This episode is for anyone who has been told their sleep test came back "normal" but still wakes up exhausted — and especially for parents watching their kids struggle with hyperactivity, behavioral issues, or restless nights. If you've handed a child a melatonin gummy and wondered whether there's a better answer, this conversation is for you. Dr. Terri sits down with Adam, CEO and founder of Rebus Health, a multidisciplinary sleep wellness center built on the radical premise that the question isn't just how you're sleeping — it's why you're not. Adam's team brings together sleep specialists, airway dentists, and functional medicine providers under one roof to get to the anatomical, hormonal, and systemic root causes of sleep-disordered breathing in adults and children alike. What you'll discover: Why the standard sleep apnea test misses the majority of women and why a "normal" result doesn't mean you don't have a problem (~24:31) The critical link between sleep deprivation and hormone disruption — and why optimizing hormones alone may not be enough (~24:31) What brain fog, daytime fatigue, and decreased executive function really signal — and the long-term cognitive consequences of leaving them unaddressed (~18:09) How wearables like the Oura Ring can be genuinely useful — and when they're creating unnecessary anxiety (~27:22) The truth about melatonin, CBD, THC, and sleep gummies: what the research actually shows, and why children should not be taking melatonin at all (~30:41) The shocking pre-industrial shift in facial anatomy — and how processed food, formula feeding, and modern orthodontics are narrowing our airways and setting our children up for a lifetime of sleep problems (~37:45) Why 78% of kids diagnosed with ADHD also have an underlying sleep disturbance — and why no one is connecting the dots (~41:03) The tongue tie and lip tie epidemic: why early release matters, why it fell out of practice, and what proper intervention actually looks like at every age (~44:26) The bottom line: sleep disturbances are not a minor inconvenience — they are a root cause of metabolic disease, cardiovascular risk, cognitive decline, and behavioral disorders. The earlier you intervene, the more you can change the trajectory. -- The Dr. Terri Show is presented by Evexias Health Solutions.

    93. Why There Are No Men Anymore, And What Women Are Missing

    ou've said it. You've heard it. Maybe your daughter said it at dinner last week: "There are just no men anymore. They're all boys." But what if the problem isn't men — it's that nobody ever taught us how they actually work? In this episode, Dr. Terri sits down with researcher and author Alison Armstrong for one of the most important conversations you'll hear about relational health. Alison has spent 30 years studying men — their stages of development, how testosterone literally shapes their brain, why they go quiet, why they disappear into focus, and what women do (often without realizing it) that brings out the worst in them instead of the best. Dr. Terri ties it directly to what she sees every day in practice: patients who finally have their hormones optimized, their energy back, their libido restored — and now they're stepping back into relationships with the same blind spots they always had. This conversation changes that. What you'll discover: The four stages of male development — and how to recognize which one you're dealing with Why testosterone creates single focus (and what it looks like when a man "disappears") The difference between procreate, protect, and provide — and why it explains almost everything How women unconsciously turn princes into frogs (and how to stop) Why your words — not just your tone — produce completely different responses in men How to spot the man within the stage, even when he looks like a boy This one is worth sharing. And it's just the beginning — Dr. Terri and Alison are going deeper in future episodes. ---------------------------------------------------------------- The Dr. Terri Show is presented by Evexias Health Solutions.

    92. The New Food Pyramid: What They Got Right, What's Still Wrong, and What You Should Actually Be Eating

    The USDA just updated the food pyramid — and the nutrition world has opinions.But before you celebrate or complain, Dr. Terri sits down with functional nutritionist Elizabeth DiMeo to actually break it down: what changed, why it changed, what they got right, and what's still missing from the conversation.Spoiler: the low-fat era did more damage than we realized. And most Americans are still paying for it. What you'll discover: Why the war on saturated fat led directly to the seed oil crisis — and why your LDL isn't the enemy you think it is What "Franken foods" are and why they're quietly fueling inflammation, obesity, and chronic disease The real reason the food pyramid matters: it drives what your kids eat at school Why the Mediterranean diet keeps winning — and how to actually apply it to your life How to train your kids' palates before Big Food does it for you Simple, practical strategies for eating whole foods without overhauling your entire life This isn't about being on a diet. It's about understanding what real food is — and why getting back to basics might be the most powerful health decision you make this year. --- The Dr. Terri Show is presented by EVEXIAS Health Solutions.

    91. Medical Freedom, the Wellness Boom, and the End of Sick Care as We Know It

    Find an EvexiPel provider near you: https://www.evexipel.com/find-a-provider/ --- Why the Healthcare System Has No Financial Incentive to Make You Well The United States spends more on healthcare than any country on earth — $4.9 trillion annually. And we rank second to last in actual health outcomes among all developed nations. That's not a coincidence. In this conversation, Dr. Terri sits down with her husband and EVEXIAS co-founder Dan DeNeui for one of their most candid, wide-ranging discussions yet. From the exploding wellness industry to the pharmaceutical lobby's quiet war on compounding pharmacies, to an 81-year-old woman whose rapid cognitive decline traced directly back to a statin nobody should have prescribed — this episode pulls back the curtain on a system that profits from keeping people sick. This one is for anyone who has ever felt like the healthcare system is working against them. Because in a lot of ways, it is. What you'll discover: Why the U.S. wellness industry jumped from $9 billion to $2 trillion in just three years — and what that signals [13:02] The statin story that every adult child of an aging parent needs to hear [17:13] Why pharmaceutical companies are sending cease and desist letters to clinicians prescribing legal compounded medications [45:31] How cholesterol reference ranges have been quietly lowered decade after decade — and why [19:40] Why 90% of supplements sold at retail either don't contain what they claim or are contaminated with mold and mycotoxins [30:40] What medical freedom actually means — and the insidious ways it's being stripped without anyone noticing [44:15] Why EVEXIAS provider trainings are maxed out every single month and what that says about where medicine is heading [05:27] The one thing both sides of the political aisle can agree on — if they're willing to set the labels aside [42:03] The bottom line: People are waking up. Clinicians are waking up. And the system is running out of ways to keep the truth quiet. CHAPTERS 00:00 — Introduction 03:19 — Medical Freedom and the MAHA Movement 06:07 — Why Patients Are Driving the Shift to Integrative Medicine 12:38 — The Wellness Industry by the Numbers: $9 Billion to $2 Trillion 16:27 — The 81-Year-Old, a Statin, and a Rapid Decline 18:11 — Why Cholesterol Numbers Keep Getting Lower 21:00 — Prevention Starts Now — Not in Your 80s 25:18 — What the Wellness Industry Actually Includes 29:34 — Why Supplement Quality Matters More Than You Think 32:43 — The Case for Hormone Optimization 34:13 — Peptides, Exosomes, and What Big Pharma Doesn't Want You Accessing 37:05 — The History and Future of Medicine 38:39 — $4.9 Trillion Spent.

    90. What Your Wearable Is Trying to Tell You About Your Heart

    Your Nervous System Is Killing You — Not Your Cholesterol You bought the wearable. You're tracking your steps. You got your cholesterol checked and everything came back fine. So why does your body still feel like it's running a race it never signed up for? Here's what nobody is telling you: 30 to 40% of heart attacks have nothing to do with clogged arteries. They happen because the nervous system is broken. And yours might be — right now — without a single symptom to show for it. Dr. Terri sits down with Dr. Jim LaValle — naturopathic doctor, pharmacist, and one of the most decorated researchers in integrative medicine — for a conversation that reframes everything you thought you knew about heart health. Recorded live at an EVEXIAS training event, this episode breaks down the nervous system's role as the hidden driver behind cardiovascular disease, chronic illness, weight gain, gut dysfunction, and hormone breakdown. This one is for anyone who feels constantly wired, can't fully recover, or has been told their heart looks fine while their body is screaming otherwise. What you'll discover: Why 30–40% of heart attacks are nervous system events — not plaque events The three numbers you can measure at home today that reveal your true cardiovascular risk What heart rate variability actually means and why yours is probably too low Why your resting heart rate above 62 is quietly increasing your cardiac risk with every point How shallow breathing keeps your nervous system locked in fight or flight all day The gut-brain-heart connection: why sympathetic dominance is driving SIBO, H. Pylori, and dysbiosis Why postmenopausal women are dying of heart disease at higher rates than men — and what estradiol has to do with it Box breathing: the free three-minute protocol that reversed a CEO's ulcerative colitis in one year The supplement stack Dr. LaValle actually uses — phospholipids, adaptogens, magnesium, Theanine, and more Why hydrogen inhalation took his sleep efficiency from 92% to 96% and added an hour of sleep The bottom line: You don't need a cardiologist to start protecting your heart today. You need to understand your nervous system — and this episode is where that starts. The Dr. Terri Show is presented by EVEXIAS Health Solutions.

    89. Could This One Number Explain Your Fatigue, Hair Loss, and Brain Fog?

    Nobody Told You About Ferritin — And It's Costing You Everything Your hormones are optimized. Your thyroid labs came back fine. You're doing everything right. So why do you still feel exhausted, foggy, and like nothing is actually working? The answer might be a single number your doctor has never mentioned. Dr. Terri is joined by Dr. Cassie Smith — endocrinologist, hormone optimization expert, and EVEXIAS training faculty — fresh off a regional hormone provider refresher in Destin, Florida. What started as a conversation about why fully optimized patients still feel terrible turned into one of the most practical, eye-opening episodes the show has ever produced. This one is for anyone who's been told their labs are fine but their body is telling a completely different story. What you'll discover: Why ferritin below 70 means your thyroid hormone literally cannot enter the cell — no matter how much medication you take The ferritin level that starts affecting your heart's ability to contract (and why your doctor calls it "normal") Why low ferritin is behind more hair loss than any supplement on the market can fix How H. Pylori quietly destroys your iron absorption, your gut, and your hormone metabolism all at once The methylation problem affecting 60% of people that turns your B vitamins into toxins instead of fuel Why testosterone does not cause breast cancer — and actually decreases your risk Why optimal vitamin D is 60 minimum — and why a billion people walking around deficient is a public health crisis nobody is talking about The bottom line: Hormones are not an end-all be-all. Until you fix ferritin, vitamin D, B12, and the gut — nothing else is going to work the way it should. The Dr. Terri Show is presented by EVEXIAS Health Solutions.
