    430. Why EVERYONE Needs Progesterone and How We’re All Getting It Wrong with Carol Petersen

    430. Why EVERYONE Needs Progesterone and How We’re All Getting It Wrong with Carol Petersen

    Let’s dive into a hormone that often flies under the radar – progesterone. This episode is all about why everyone needs it and how we might be getting it wrong. I brought in the incredible Carol Petersen, an expert in hormone health, to shine a light on this often misunderstood yet essential hormone. As it turns out, progesterone isn’t just a player in reproductive health; it’s pivotal for insulin and glucose control, weight management, sleep quality, and even brain function. We’re unraveling the secrets of how this hormone can be your ally in tackling a range of health issues, from stress to perimenopause symptoms.
    Carol and I went deep into the science but kept it approachable, breaking down why timing is crucial when it comes to taking progesterone and how different forms of this hormone – like patches, creams, and capsules – can impact its effectiveness. We touched on the controversies in hormone testing and the best ways to ensure you’re getting accurate readings. Whether you’re dealing with hormone disarray, struggling with sleep, or wading through the confusion of hormone therapy, this episode is your guide to understanding how progesterone could be the game-changer you didn’t know you needed. So plug in, because we’re dropping knowledge bombs that could very well flip the switch on your wellness journey.

    429. Causes of Weight Gain and Fatigue in Midlife

    429. Causes of Weight Gain and Fatigue in Midlife

    Let's take a deep dive into what's causing weight gain and fatigue, especially as we transition into our forties, fifties, and beyond. If you're finding that what worked in your twenties and thirties just isn't cutting it anymore, you're not alone. I recently attended the Health Optimization Summit in London, where top experts like Mindy Peltz and Dr. Stephanie Estima shed light on the significant changes our bodies undergo in midlife. We're talking about hormonal shifts, thyroid downregulation, increased stressors, and even environmental toxins. Each of these plays a critical role in our ever-elusive weight loss journeys.
    In this episode of The Thyroid Fixer Podcast, I break down the essential first steps to tackling stubborn fat. Optimizing your thyroid is crucial because it's the master metabolic switch that affects everything from insulin regulation to detoxification. I dive into the specifics—like keeping your fasting insulin below six and understanding how substances like Berberine can help control your blood sugar levels. We’ll also explore how sleep, hydration, and even your thoughts play into the complex puzzle of fat loss. Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of it all and set you up for success in the second half of life. Ready to tap into your best, leaner, stronger self? This episode is your guide to making it happen.

    Lasting Fat Loss in Midlife and Beyond Masterclass with both Natalie Jill and myself on Wednesday, March 26th at 4 pm PT and 7 pm ET!

    426. Supplements to Avoid When Taking Thyroid Medication

Timing your thyroid medication with food, coffee, and supplements can be confusing, but trust me, it’s crucial for your health.
