    #413 The Perimenopause Narrative: Myths, Fear & The Truth with Ann Marie McQueen.

    Perimenopause has become one of the loudest and most confusing conversations in women’s health. Between fear-based messaging, outdated research, and oversimplified advice, many women are left unsure who to trust or what’s actually true. In this episode, I’m joined by Anne-Marie McQueen, health journalist and founder of Hotflash Inc., to unpack the narratives, myths, and truths around perimenopause and hormone therapy - and why nuance matters more than ever. We explore how women’s health messaging has evolved, the lasting impact of the Women’s Health Initiative, and why estrogen is once again being discussed/pushed - including what the removal of the black box warning really means (and what it doesn’t). We also discuss: Some of the most damaging narratives still circulating in women’s health Why these big name Drs are only focusing on estrogen Why the conversation around progesterone remains overlooked or one might say "suppressed" Anne-Marie’s personal perspective on hormone therapy Why hormones alone are not a complete solution Common perimenopause symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats, and the often missed mental health side of things How important lifestyle and nutrition are, and how they can really help The biggest challenges women in midlife face today Emotional changes in perimenopause and learning how to feel, process, and trust your emotions And so much more. This conversation is REAL, thoughtful, honest, and deeply validating - especially for women who feel caught between “just take hormones” and “you don’t need hormones at all.” So if you’re navigating perimenopause, questioning the narratives you’re hearing, or looking for a more balanced, evidence-informed conversation about hormone therapy, this episode is for you. Ann Marie McQueen is a Canadian writer who has lived in Abu Dhabi since 2008. She moved to the capital to serve on the launch team for The National, later becoming features editor. She is now the editorial director and podcast host for the only health and wellness platform for men and women in the Middle East, Livehealthy, and has her own platform serving women in their 40s and 50s, www.hotflashinc.com.

    #412 Why Weight Loss Is Hard To Maintain: Energy Balance, Metabolism, & Weight Regain with James O Hill PhD.

    In this in-depth conversation, I sit down with Dr. James O. Hill, one of the world’s leading researchers on energy balance, metabolism, weight loss, and weight regain, to unpack why losing weight and keeping it off are two very different biological processes and need different understandings. We explore what’s really driving obesity today, why weight regain happens so quickly, and how metabolism, behavior, mindset, and environment interact in ways most diet conversations completely miss. Dr Hill is an OG in the world of weight loss - this conversation may be exactly what you need to hear to help with your success this year! This episode goes beyond calories-in vs calories-out and dives into: How energy expenditure and energy balance actually work Why we are worse off metabolically than ever before The role of genetics, aging, and metabolic flexibility Why every diet works — but not for the reasons you think The difference between losing weight vs maintaining weight The concept of the energy gap and why maintenance is so hard Why the most obesity-inducing diet is high fat + high carbohydrate The importance of mindset and behavioral state What the National Weight Control Registry teaches us Why people need time (often ~3 months) to establish weight loss habits Exercise, step counts, and why pedometers are still gold Small changes vs big changes — and which actually last Tracking weight, progress, and sustainability Eating out and socializing... does it make or break your results Thyroid, adrenal concerns, and metabolic context GLP-1s and where they fit into the bigger picture This is a grounded, honest discussion about what actually works long-term and why weight regain is not a failure of willpower, but a predictable biological response unless the right attitude and systems are in place. Dr. James Hill is one of the world’s foremost experts in obesity and weight management. He has devoted his 40+-year career to helping people lose weight and keep it off. Dr. Hill was a co-founder of the National Weight Control Registry, which has been the single best source of information about how to maintain weight loss. Dr. Hill is Director of the Nutrition Obesity Research Center and Professor of the Department of Nutrition Sciences in the School of Health Professions at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He served as President of the American Society for Nutrition (ASN) in 2008–09 and as President of The Obesity Society (TOS) in 1997–98.

    #408 Wilson's Temperature Syndrome vs Hypothyroidism with Dr Denis Wilson.

    In this rare and powerful interview, I sit down with Dr. Denis Wilson, the creator of Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome, for his first podcast appearance in years. Can you say AMAZING?! We dive into the origin of Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome, what it actually is, and how it differs from classic hypothyroidism. Dr. Wilson explains why body temperature is one of the most accurate reflections of your metabolism! And why metabolism is the true core function of the thyroid. You’ll learn why you can’t measure metabolism on a blood test, why normal thyroid labs don’t always mean you’re well, and how doctors may completely overlook conversion issues, low T3 function, and cellular-level hormone activity. We also explore: Why low body temperature is a red flag for metabolic slowdown How to increase temperature with T3 and how weaning off can still leave symptoms resolved How the deiodinase enzymes work to control T4-to-T3 conversion Why so many people remain symptomatic even on thyroid medication The cellular reasons behind fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and low mood How stress is one of the biggest drivers of thyroid dysfunction The shocking impact that just one night of poor sleep can have on metabolism And lots more! This episode is essential for anyone who has low thyroid symptoms but “normal” labs, struggles with chronic fatigue or low temperatures, or wants a deeper understanding of metabolism from the physician who pioneered this field. Denis Wilson, MD, described Wilson ‘s Temperature Syndrome in 1988 after observing people with symptoms of low thyroid and low body temperature, yet who had normal blood tests. He found that by normalizing their temperatures with T3 (without T4) their symptoms often remained improved even after the treatment was discontinued. As a result of his findings, Dr. Wilson developed the WT3 protocol for Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome (now standard of care) and originated sustained release T3. He was the first doctor to use sustained-release T3.
