    Dr Brooke Show #412 Progesterone: What Women Need To Know From Your 20s to Your 60s

    In this Q&A episode I cover all manner of aspects of this soothing, helpful hormone. Progesterone can start to dip as early as our 30s creating more problems with mood, sleep and periods as the years go on, but even in our 20s we can experience low progesterone due to PCOS, stress and other reasons as well. I talk about how to naturally raise progesterone as well as how to know when to use herbs or HRT to support your progesterone levels.   I reference in this show a past progesterone Q&A from 2023, here is that show as this episode covers other aspects of progesterone as well:     Dr Brooke Show #324 All Your Progesterone Questions Answered Stuff I Know You Will Love Give your body the support it needs to repair and recover everything from joints to skin and hair to your gut lining with Organifi’s Multi Collagen.

    Dr Brooke Show #411 Postpartum Depression: What’s To Be Expected, When To Get Help + Tips For Better Mood Post Baby

    Is it the baby blues? Exhaustion? Expected overwhelm with a new baby? Or is it something more worrisome? In this episode I talk about the hormonal changes postpartum that can lead to anxiety, depression and sadness and what to look out for, when to get help and simple suggestions for nutrition, exercise and supplements that can help. I also cover a lesser talked about mood issue for breastfeeding moms known as Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex. I also talk about how to be a good support person for a new mom beyond offering to hold the baby - but who doesn't want to hold a new baby?! I hope this show is helpful for partners, friends and family as well as new moms to please share!  I talk a bit about my experience with DMER this in this article as well:  Three Horrible Things About Breastfeeding.    Stuff I Know You Will Love Did you know that 95% of women taking a prenatal are still nutrient deficient? The founders of Needed saw this as a big problem and I couldn’t agree more! But Needed quickly became a bigger solution to a bigger problem by providing more options for moms and moms to be. Women need so much support during the time from thinking about getting pregnant all the way to having little ones and so often they are left with options that don’t address their needs (prenatals that have nutrients in the wrong forms or that they can’t take due to nausea) or they are left with low energy, anxiety or even colds/flus while they are pregnant or nursing because there aren’t natural products that are considered safe during these times.

    Dr Brooke Show #409 What Women Need To Know About Multivitamins

    For more info about how I can help you, visit my site BetterByDrBrooke.com.    A daily multi to cover your nutritional bases seems like a good idea right? Our soil is depleted, our life is depleting and many of us are dealing with some sort of chronic issue, making extra support something to think about. On the flipside, many are dealing with supplement fatigue and it’s worth talking about if a multi is worth it at this stage in your health and healing. As well, some women’s multis are severely lacking in what women need yet others are full of things you do not need. In this episode I talk about what to look for in a multi that that suits your hormones and health goals.   In this show I talk about my women’s multi that includes optimal doses of what women need for blood sugar balance, better energy, brain health, optimal aging and hormone balance. I put my balanced+beautiful multi on sale this weekend only with code BEAUTIFUL15 at checkout.    Stuff I Know You Will Love   If you are looking for an expert prescriber for HRT during your perimenopause or menopause journey but are at odds with your local provider being a bit behind current best practices or you simply can’t find anyone near you to help, Join MIDI!

    Dr Brooke Show #407 Navigating Supplement Marketing

    For more info on how I can help you vist my site BetterByDrBrooke.com. If you’ve ever googled a troublesome symptom, then I’m sure you’re getting fed ads for a supplement to fix it. I see it every day posted on social media as people crowd source for solutions or I’m asked on a call with a patient: should I take X for my Y? They’ve heard it’s good for hair loss, weight loss, hot flashes, brain health, energy, etc. so they are wondering if it will work for them, makes sense right?    In this episode I talk about why we need to know why. We need to know WHY our hair is falling out or we are tired in order to choose supplements, protocols and procedures that might help. Most of the time, if a supplement isn’t effective it’s also likely harmless but it can be a waste of time and money to be taking things that don’t address your why. Other times a particular supplement is the absolute wrong thing for your why, yet you have no idea. Still other times you have a clear why for your symptoms based on testing or working with a provider but in the sea of products you’re unsure which one is best for you. I cover the most common supplement questions about hormones, thyroid, hair loss, energy, etc. that I see online or hear in my office on this episode to help you sift through the noise out there.   Products mentioned in this episode:   Essential Amino Acid blend for better energy, building muscles and more save 15% with this link www.getkion.com/bettereveryday.   balance+protect comprehensive nutrient and herbal support for both estrogen and progesterone    clear+normalize nutrient and herbal formula to balance androgen metabolism  Stuff I Know You Will Love Give your body the support it needs to repair and recover everything from joints to skin and hair to your gut lining with Organifi’s Multi Collagen.

    Dr Brooke Show #405 What Women Need To Know About Collagen

    For more info on how I can help you, visit my site BetterByDrBrooke.com.  Collagen is not a new supplement but there are new collagen products on the market daily and most every woman I talk to is taking collagen or feels she should be. It’s generally a scoop added to their morning coffee or post-workout shake in hopes of better joints, healthier hair and glowing skin. Most women aren’t aware however that joints need different collagen support than our hair so it’s important we know why we want to take collagen and then to be sure our supplement is doing just that. In this episode I talk about the difference between collagen and collagen peptides, what type of collagen is needed for hair vs. joints and how you can dose your collagen to get the results you’re after.   Products I mentioned in the episode are: KION Essential Amino Acid Complex for workout recovery GetKion.com/BETTTEREVERYDAY 15% off NEEDED Collagen Peptides for types I and III collagen support save 20% with code BETTEREVERYDAY at checkout www.thisisneeded.com.  GLOW Collagen Support with bamboo silica, natural vitamin C and Tremella Mushroom (5X times more hydrating than hyaluronic acid).
