Women Need More Testosterone

Testosterone isn't just for men! We look at the effects testosterone has on everything from thyroid function, sexual dysfunction, and basic joy in life. We cover proper testing as well as the therapies, lifestyle changes, and supplements that can help boost low levels in women. Next, Dante examines the popular paleo diet and research that looks at the effects evolution, ecology, and economy has on the human diet. Put simply: paleo isn't really paleo! So what did our ancestors actually eat? We love questions!

Eat Clean, Reduce ADHD

A 2012 study (INCA) that only just came across our desk has huge implications for folks with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), particularly kids! Joey DiMatteo (PharmD, CCN) examines how an elimination diet improves ADHD in children. How much can food choice really affect behavior and can restricting certain foods help manage ADHD symptoms? The study was on children, but the implications are universal! When a listener (and Josiah) ask Dante about wearing a weighted vest, it's the perfect tie-in for looking at a study about weighted vests and long-term weight loss. Should everyone be wearing these things? We love questions!

FDA Flips: Menopause & HRT

At last, the FDA has decided to remove the black box warning from topical hormone replacement therapies (HRTs) for menopause after years of pushback from women, and a comprehensive scientific review. We look at the original research that lead to the warnings and present evidence for their removal. Women were suffering unnecessarily because good research was mis-applied, and it took two decades for the government to catch on. Next, we look at a study showing that nearly half of type 2 diabetes patients exhibit micronutrient deficiencies, with vitamin D being the most prevalent, followed by magnesium and vitamin B12. We discuss how to assess your individual needs and how to supplement effectively. Finally, heading into Thanksgiving, Josiah helps us refocus and reframe the personality clashes and stress that always come around whenever family gets together. If you've got a question, we'd love to hear it! Just drop it in the comments or send us an email (questions@askjoedimatteo.com)!

When a listener question about calcium & vitamin D creates a great starting point for a dive into the way multiple nutrients work together to improve bone health. The FDA recently announced a plan to take action against natural, animal-derived thyroid medications. Why is the FDA suddenly taking action against a medication so old it predates the FDA itself? What are the advantages for the 1.5 million Americans taking this "unapproved" prescription?

Prebiotics, Fiber & Lower Cholesterol

Dante answers a listener question about how prebiotics, fiber supplements, and whether they interact with Lipitor. There's a lot of hype around prebiotics, but is any of it justified? Plus, a new study illustrates the opposing roles dopamine and serotonin play in shaping our decisions and learning processes. Joey discusses how understanding these key brain chemicals can lead to faster learning and avoiding the same spiral of chasing dopamine with things like social media doom scrolling.
