Honored. 😂In this episode, we’re getting into hemorrhoids: what they actually are, why they happen, what they feel like, internal vs. external hemorrhoids, and how to tell the difference between a hemorrhoid and an anal fissure.We’re also talking about bright red blood when you poop, constipation, straining, sitting on the toilet scrolling for 45 minutes (MEN 👀), pregnancy + postpartum hemorrhoids, pelvic floor health, hydration, fiber, movement, and what you can actually do to make your butthole happier.And because this is Drop It Like It’s Doc, obviously we’re also discussing why you should probably look at—and touch—your own butthole.It’s your body. Why are we weird about this?!Your body is constantly giving you information. Even your hemorrhoids can be a reason to look at your bowel habits, constipation, pressure, movement, hydration, and overall health.So please stop pushing. Get off your phone. Drink some water.

    90 | GLP-1s, Ozempic & Weight Loss: What No One Is Talking About | Drop it Like it's Doc podcast

    GLP-1s are everywhere right now. . Ozempic. Wegovy. Semaglutide. Weight loss shots. Everyone knows someone who’s on one, or is wondering if they should be. . And listen, I’m not anti-GLP-1. These medications can be incredibly helpful for the right person. But I am interested in the conversation we’re not having enough of: why is your body struggling metabolically in the first place? . So in this episode, we’re getting into what GLP-1s actually do in your body, how they affect insulin, blood sugar, appetite, digestion and metabolism, and what happens when we use them to override symptoms without asking what those symptoms might be telling us. . We’re also talking about the less sexy stuff—constipation, bloating, muscle loss, inflammation, insulin resistance, protein, fiber, gut health—and, because obviously I can’t help myself, diet culture and our collective obsession with making bodies smaller. . This isn’t a “GLP-1s are bad” episode. It’s a can we please understand WTF is happening in the body before we decide the body is the problem? episode. . Because losing weight and getting healthier are not always the same thing. . And skinny has never been a synonym for healthy. . Let’s get into it. 🎙️ . We talk about: GLP-1 medications, Ozempic, Wegovy, semaglutide, weight loss, insulin resistance, blood sugar, metabolism, gut health, constipation, muscle loss, inflammation, protein, fiber + root-cause medicine. — Want to work with me: Visit: http://www.doctordeluna.com . — Follow Me on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dropitlikeitsdoc Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dropitlikeitsdoc TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dropitlikeitsdoc --- #GLP1 #GLP1Medications #Ozempic #Wegovy #Semaglutide #WeightLoss #MetabolicHealth #InsulinResistance #BloodSugar #GutHealth #WomensHealth #NaturopathicMedicine #RootCauseMedicine #DropItLikeItsDoc __ *This content is not considered medical advice and is not a substitute for medical care.

    87 | You Can’t Heal in Fight or Flight | Nervous System Regulation for Gut Health & Hormones

    Your nervous system controls gut health, hormones, and immune function. If you’re stuck in fight-or-flight, your body cannot fully heal. If you’re dealing with gut issues (bloating, IBS, constipation), hormone imbalances (irregular cycles, painful periods), fatigue, anxiety, or chronic inflammation - your nervous system may be the root cause. In this episode, we break down how being stuck in fight-or-flight impacts: • Digestion + gut health • Hormone balance (cortisol, thyroid, reproductive hormones) • Immune system function + inflammation You’ll learn why your body can’t fully heal in a stressed state and what you can start doing to support nervous system regulation. This is the missing piece when “doing everything right” still isn’t working. 👉Learn more about this topic here: https://drashleydeluna.podia.com/nervous-system-masterclass Want to work with me: Visit: http://www.doctordeluna.com — Follow Me on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dropitlikeitsdoc https://www.instagram.com/doctordeluna Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dropitlikeitsdoc TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dropitlikeitsdoc --- #NervousSystem #NervousSystemRegulation #GutHealth #HormoneBalancing #FightorFlight __ *This content is not considered medical advice and is not a substitute for medical care.

    86 | Homeopathy 101: Tools Every Mama Should Know for Birth + Baby | Drop it Like it's Doc podcast

    Let’s talk homeopathy - one of the most misunderstood (and most magical) forms of medicine. ✨ You’ve probably heard of remedies like Arnica for bruising or Chamomila for teething, but homeopathy is so much more than that. It’s a system of medicine built on the principle of “like cures like,” where remedies are chosen not just for the symptom, but for the person behind it — their emotions, reactions, and unique body responses. In this episode, Dr. de Luna breaks down how homeopathy works, when to use it, and why it’s a game-changer in pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care. From back labor and breech birth to mastitis and tears, we’re covering the remedies every mama (and practitioner) should know about. We’ll cover: 🌿 What “like cures like” really means — and how it heals 💊 How remedies are made 👩‍👧 Why homeopathy is so individualized — no one-size-fits-all dosing here 💥 Go-to remedies for birth + postpartum NOTE: back labor remedy is actually Kali Carb, NOT Kali Bich — Want to work with me: Visit: http://www.doctordeluna.com — Follow Me on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dropitlikeitsdoc Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dropitlikeitsdoc TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dropitlikeitsdoc --- #DropitLikesitsDoc #HealthTips #Doctor #naturopathy #yoga #homeopathy #homeopathicmedicine #birth #postpartum #motherhood #holisticparenting #naturalmedicine __ *This content is not considered medical advice and is not a substitute for medical care.
