    294. Hair Loss Answers with Faraz Khan

    294. Hair Loss Answers with Faraz Khan

    HAIR LOSS AND HAIR THINNING!! This is the episode you've been waiting for because we have not dove into and talked about hair loss in awhile and really what you can do about. Recently, I stumbled upon Faraz Khan who was on Karen Martel's podcast, The Other Side of Weight Loss and then of course Nat Niddam, who is a rock star in the biohacking world...they both had Faraz on and it piqued my interest ... what is this guy talking about and what is his hair loss system all about at FullyVital? When I reached out and talked to Faraz he set me up with the complete hair loss system. I've been using it myself because my hair has been breaking off! This guy is just a rock star in the hair place. He's a former computer scientist who turned longevity educator, speaker and bio hacker. He has a kick ass podcast called The "Anti Aging Hacks" which I was a guest on as well. He turned from helping large media life sciences and pharma companies to helping everyday people beat back the scourge of aging and he went through his own hair loss journey as well. So it's not just us ladies guys go through it. And you know that whole pain of purpose story. When you go through something you come out on the other side with answers for people that are walking that same walk! So join Faraz and myself as we break down the why and what to do about the hair loss and hair thinning both men and women can experience.

    292. Controversial Topic Part 2: The Real Science Behind Treating Menopause

    292. Controversial Topic Part 2: The Real Science Behind Treating Menopause

    Part 2 with Betty Murray and the breaking down of the studies behind the use of bioidentical hormones during menopause. Betty and I will bitch about the use of bandaid medications for symptoms of menopause and the Women's Health Initiative study, but the bottom line is we don't have to bandaid menopause. We don't have to be scared of supplementing with bioidentical hormones to improve the symptoms of menopause. Menopause does not need another pharmaceutical medication to cover up symptoms...it's hormones that are needed in most cases. Your body once produced these hormones but it's no longer producing an adequate amounts anymore because of age and ovarian decline. Betty will also speak on the safety and efficacy of hormone replacement therapy and what women can expect as they begin their journey of replacing hormones during menopause.

    291. Controversial Topic Part 1: Women NEED Testosterone But Conventional Medicine Says NO!

    291. Controversial Topic Part 1: Women NEED Testosterone But Conventional Medicine Says NO!

    Join Betty Murray and myself in this all about women & testosterone episode!
    Testosterone is often considered a male hormone, but get that out of your head! Both males and females have testosterone and we both need it in adequate levels for YOU. In fact, it plays a crucial role in the health and wellbeing of women. Ladies, you must understand that testosterone plays a vital role in maintaining bone density which of course you know is crucial for preventing osteoporosis. It also contributes to muscle growth and strength, which can improve overall physical performance and help prevent injuries. Testosterone has been linked to cognitive function, including memory and spatial awareness, as well as mood regulation... Now ladies, all of this is so important but WHY isn't your doc discussing this with you? And when your testosterone levels are low, you're looking at decreased libido, fatigue, and depression. WHAT?? Then they want to slap on a bandaid medication such as a sleep aid or antidepressant medication!
    So what can you do? You gotta move especially weightlifting and resistance training which can help increase testosterone levels. Get your diet in check with sufficient protein and healthy fats and get enough sleep and managing stress levels are also important factors in maintaining healthy testosterone levels. Then we can look at testosterone replacement therapy too! Ladies, this is available to you and you can benefit from TRT! TRT can improve bone density, muscle strength, and cognitive function! So get with a knowledgable practitioner who is onboard and knows hormone replacement and you will thank me for it later!

    290. When Do I Need To Change My Thyroid Medication Dose

    290. When Do I Need To Change My Thyroid Medication Dose

    I get asked this question all the time so lets just address it right here shall we? Let's think about this, if you are truly doing ALL the things...implementing a gluten free lifestyle, eating right for your blood work, lifting heavy, getting proper sleep, then by all means we have to look at your symptoms. If you are experiencing symptoms, we may need to alter your meds or change them up a bit. For example, you are unable to lose stubborn weight or still are gaining weight, experiencing hair loss, fatigue or brain fog, you are not optimized. Our next step is to them match these symptoms up with full thyroid and hormone labs. If your doctor won't test free T3 and Reverse T3, it's time for a new doctor. This doctor does not know the thyroid and you will never get the proper meds and dosage from him or her. Find the specialist such as myself that will get you proper testing, the correct medication, and dose to get you your life back!

    289. How EMF's Damage the Thyroid

    289. How EMF's Damage the Thyroid

    I have been waiting for an expert in the field of EMF's and in this episode, August Brice, is just that! She is founder of Tech Wellness, an Inventor and patent holder, EMF Instructor for the Digital Wellness Institute, Award-winning journalist, and she has been called The Queen of EMF! She will bring small tips and tricks we can and should implement today to lower our levels of EMF's plus tell us the WHY!
    August’s passion is to bring mindfulness and balance to our relationship with technology. She began her wellness journey over 25 years ago, when as a young mother and the busy Co-CEO of a successful advertising agency, August developed symptoms which she later identified as electro-magnetic sensitivity or ES. That began her journey to learn more and share what she learned with others. Her first videos on the subject were published over a dozen years ago. She is a patent holder, along with Dr. Carlo on a device designed to protect users from the RF radiation put out by our smart phones. Unlike most other sites dealing with these topics, Tech Wellness vets all posts through a panel of world renowned experts and independently purchases and tests products that claim to offer protection. August’s mission is to be a trusted resource for people searching for balance with their technology.
