    Ep 602: Healing Lichen Sclerosus Naturally with Autumn McLees

    In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with Autumn McLees to discuss her powerful journey navigating Lichen Sclerosus, a chronic inflammatory condition that affects many women but is rarely talked about openly. After experiencing painful symptoms and receiving conventional treatments that focused primarily on symptom management, Autumn began questioning whether there might be deeper root causes behind her condition. Her search for answers led her into the world of holistic health, functional medicine, and lifestyle-based healing. Autumn shares how her autoimmune diagnosis became a turning point—one that shifted her perspective from seeing her body as broken to recognizing it as a messenger asking for change. Throughout the conversation, she discusses the dietary and lifestyle shifts that helped reduce flare-ups, the mindset required to stay committed to healing, and the importance of surrounding yourself with practitioners who focus on root-cause healing rather than symptom suppression. Autumn also opens up about navigating new health challenges along the way and how staying proactive with nutrition, gut health, and vaginal microbiome support continues to play a key role in maintaining her progress. This episode offers hope and practical insights for anyone struggling with autoimmune conditions, chronic inflammation, or unexplained symptoms, especially women who may feel dismissed or unsupported in traditional medical settings. What You'll Learn in This Episode What Lichen Sclerosus is and why it can be so uncomfortable and disruptive Early symptoms many women overlook, including tearing and irritation Why conventional treatments often focus on symptom management rather than root causes How holistic and functional medicine approaches can help address underlying imbalances The role dietary changes play in reducing inflammation and preventing flare-ups Why maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential for long-term symptom management How mindset and motivation influence the healing process The importance of identifying dietary triggers How probiotics and microbiome support can benefit vaginal health Why sharing personal health journeys empowers others to advocate for themselves Key Takeaways Lichen Sclerosus can cause severe discomfort and symptoms like tearing and irritation. Holistic approaches may provide additional tools beyond conventional treatments. Dietary changes can significantly impact inflammation and symptom flare-ups. Long-term management requires ongoing attention to lifestyle and stress. Healing often begins when we start listening to our bodies instead of ignoring symptoms. Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing root causes. Support from knowledgeable practitioners and community can make the healing journey easier. Awareness of food triggers can help prevent symptom recurrence. Vaginal microbiome health is an often overlooked piece of the puzzle. Sharing personal stories can inspire others to take control of their health. About Autumn McLees Autumn McLees knows firsthand what it's like to feel stuck in a cycle of searching for answers in a system designed more for symptom management than true healing. After receiving an autoimmune diagnosis, she began questioning conventional approaches and exploring holistic alternatives. Through that journey, she realized her body wasn't failing her—it was asking her to pay attention. Today, Autumn helps others understand that healing doesn't require perfection or permission. It begins with the courage to question the norm, clean up lifestyle habits, and seek out practitioners who focus on the root causes of illness. Her mission is to empower people to reconnect with their bodies' natural ability to heal and provide the tools, resources, and support needed to make lasting transformation possible.

    Ep 600: You're making the effort, doing the hormone Balancing & you're still waiting to feel amazing with Jay Campbell

    In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Jay Campbell, best known for being the testosterone replacement therapy guru shares his two-decade plus journey into the world of peptides and hormone replacement therapy and how these compounds have transformed not just physique and fat loss, but metabolic health and longevity.  This conversation goes far beyond weight loss headlines and dives into the mental benefit side of health optimization. **We get real in this episode and there's some swear words so if you're listening with kiddos around listen with caution** What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why GLP peptides are reshaping obesity treatment The power of microdosing peptides, especially GLP-1's, for sustainable results Why education is the missing link for both clinicians and patients Injectable vs oral peptides — what actually works The role of lifestyle optimization alongside peptide therapy How misinformation (and AI amplification) is distorting public perception The humanitarian mission to make peptide therapies more accessible Peptides Are a Tool — Not a Shortcut Jay emphasizes that GLP peptides can dramatically improve metabolic health but without lifestyle changes, long-term success is limited. For those who want to stay active and adventure-ready, peptides may: Improve insulin sensitivity Reduce inflammation Support fat loss Enhance recovery But they are meant to amplify effort, not replace it.   Microdosing Changes the Game One of the most powerful strategies discussed is microdosing. Rather than high-dose protocols aimed purely at appetite suppression, strategic lower dosing can: Preserve muscle mass Reduce side effects Improve metabolic flexibility Support long-term sustainability This is particularly important for athletic or active adults who don't want to lose performance while improving body composition.   Injectable > Oral Jay explains why injectable peptides remain the gold standard due to bioavailability and effectiveness. Understanding delivery method matters especially for those investing in advanced health strategies.   The Future of Obesity Treatment We're entering an era where next-generation GLP and triple-agonist peptides are transforming how we address: Insulin resistance Chronic inflammation Fat loss resistance Metabolic disease But access, education, and responsible use are critical and why Jay and I do podcasts like this!   Health Optimization as a Spiritual Practice One of the most compelling parts of the conversation: When you optimize your biology, you elevate your capacity; physically, mentally, and spiritually. Health isn't vanity. It's vitality. It's freedom. It's staying in the game.   Resources From The Show: Jay's Website - https://jaycampbell.com/ Jay's Peptide Company - https://biolongevitylabs.com/ Jay's New Book - Metabolic Awakening with GLP-1 Peptides Dr. J's March 18th, 2026 Workshop: 5:30p PST/7:30p CST (register to get the replay if you can't make it live) - The Art of Staying Your Sport or Hobby and Being Adventure Ready at Any Age

    Ep 597: Hormones, Muscle & Longevity: Future-Proofing Women's Health with the Hormone Heroines

    In this episode of the Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause sits down with the Hormone Heroines, Dr. Serena Russum and Dr. Heidi Codino, to unpack what women actually need to thrive hormonally from puberty through menopause and beyond. Dr. Serena and Dr. Heidi are award-winning speakers and nationally recognized experts in women's health, with extensive training in longevity medicine, hormonal health, peptides, and BHRT. Their passion lies in helping women address root causes, not just symptoms, using a holistic functional medicine approach so they can feel strong, energized, and supported at every stage of life. This episode is a must-listen for any woman who wants to build strength, protect her hormones, and age with power instead of burnout. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Muscle Is Medicine—Especially for Women Muscle isn't just about strength or metabolism—it's a hormone-regulating, longevity-protecting organ. Lose muscle, and everything from blood sugar to estrogen balance takes a hit. Protein Timing Matters More Than You Think It's not just how much protein you eat—it's how evenly you spread it throughout the day that determines whether your body can actually build and repair muscle. Estrogen Protects More Than Your Bones Estrogen plays a critical role in muscle recovery, injury prevention, and resilience. Ignoring this connection leaves women vulnerable to pain, plateaus, and faster aging. Longevity Isn't a Supplement—It's a Strategy Yes, tools like Urolithin A can support muscle and brain health—but nutrition, stress management, strength training, and the right practitioner are the real foundation for thriving long-term.   Resources From The Show: Dr. Serena and Heidi's website - https://www.blossominglongevity.com/ Dr. Serena and Heidi's Podcast - Hormone Heroines Supplements we talked about: Urolithin A, CoEnzyme Q10 and Creatine Peptides we mentioned: P21 (brain), BPC 157/TB500 (gut health + aches/pains)

Rather than seeing aging as a decline, she reframes it as a predictable energetic transformation that unfolds in seven-year cycles. The conversation focuses on the gradual decline of yin energy: the cooling, nourishing, and moistening force in the body and how modern lifestyle habits accelerate this depletion. Dr. Krause explains how symptoms like dryness, stiffness, fatigue, inflammation, hot flashes, and digestive issues are often signs of yin deficiency rather than "just getting older." She shares practical dietary insights rooted in Chinese medicine, highlighting the importance of legumes, grains, fruits, and vegetables for supporting kidney chi, vitality, and long-term health. The episode also covers the role of movement, breathwork, and mindful eating habits in maintaining circulation, chi flow, and resilience as we age. This episode offers a grounded, empowering roadmap for aging with more balance, energy, and ease without extreme diets or supplement overload. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why aging symptoms like dryness, fatigue, and inflammation are signs of yin depletion How Chinese medicine explains aging in 7-year cycles and what that means for your health today. Which foods actually support vitality, kidney energy, and hormone balance as you age. How movement, breathwork, and simple dietary shifts can help you age with more ease and energy.   Resources From The Show: Dr. Krause's Healthy Aging Through The Wisdom of Chinese Medicine Guide that includes a list of Yin Foods Episode 471 with Dr. Angela Zeng - talking about mung beans and her Chinese Medicine inspired wellness drink line called Karviva     Don't forget to hit subscribe and follow me on Instagram for more tips like you learned in this podcast!
